–U.S. Army Garrison Fort Hunter Liggett in Monterey County administered its first round of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccines to the workforce and tenants at the post medical clinic, March 23-25. The first wave of soldiers and civilian employees arriving from Parks Reserve Forces Training Area (PRFTA), FHL’s sub-installation in the Bay Area, also rolled up their sleeves for the jab.
“People are our number one priority, and their health and safety are critical to our mission,” said Col. Charles Bell, Fort Hunter Liggett’s garrison commander. Because it has been difficult for many people to obtain the vaccine from various civilian sources, and because soldiers and many civilian employees are not in the currently eligible categories, Bell said he felt it was important to speed up the vaccine availability.
–Paso Robles City Council held a virtual meeting Tuesday night.
The meeting started with Fire Chief and Emergency Services Director Jonathon Stornetta giving an update on the latest city, county, and state figures on the coronavirus, as he does each meeting. Colonel Charles Bell provided the council with an update on the US Army Garrison Fort Hunter Liggett about ways the Army base and the city can work together.
The council discussed an agenda item added Tuesday afternoon. It addressed the council’s decision on the Governor’s Regional Stay-a-Home Order. The council affirmed its direction from Dec. 10, clarifying that while the City of Paso Robles will not be enforcing beyond Purple Tier Guidelines, the State’s Regional Stay at Home Order is still legally in effect, and businesses operating in violation of it are doing so at the risk of enforcement action from the state or county.
