When the counties reach the red tier, theme parks can open at 15% of overall capacity. When they advance to the ``orange tier, capacity will be increased to 25%, and in the least-restrictive ``yellow tier, capacity of 35% will be allowed.
Only in-state visitors will be allowed at the theme parks.
Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva, D-Fullerton, who sponsored legislation to reopen theme parks, said initially officials were eyeing a plan that only allowed Orange County residents in Disneyland and Knott s. Quirk-Silva said the state s move makes her bill moot, but the legislation could be kept available as a shell bill for something related. Hearings were scheduled in Sacramento next week on youth sports, she said.
Costa Mesa Becomes Latest City to Explore Pay Raise for Grocery Workers
Costa Mesa is considering boosting the hourly wages of grocery workers during the pandemic, joining a shopping list of other Orange County cities exploring the initiative.
Its city council will discuss an urgency ordinance March 2 to pay certain grocery workers an extra $4 per hour in “hazard pay.”
“Grocery workers generally receive lower wages than other professions deemed essential during the pandemic such as doctors,” says a city report. “There is a need to incentivize experienced grocery workers to remain employed in order to provide continuity of services to the public during the disaster.”
