The City of Santa Monica’s thirty-fifth emergency supplement extends the City’s local emergency orders, with certain specified exceptions, to June 15, 2021. The supplement comes as Santa Monica continues to make progress with reopening and COVID-19 vaccine eligibility has expanded to everyone 16 years and older.
“With more than 62% of Santa Monicans receiving their first COVID-19 vaccine dose and 85% of our population 65 years and older vaccinated, we continue to make significant strides toward recovery,” said Interim City Manager Lane Dilg. “Our local emergency expiration of June 15 aligns with the State of California’s timeline for lifting restrictions.”
Police Commission seeking youth and diversity
Apr. 17, 2021 at 6:00 am
Council is mounting a last ditch effort to recruit young and racially diverse residents for the soon to be formed Public Safety Reform Oversight Commission (PSROC).
Appointments to the PSROC were scheduled for discussion at the April 13 council meeting but the decision was continued after council members said the applicant pool wasn’t deep enough to meet the needs of the organization.
The PSROC was developed in response to the broader push for police reform at a national level and specific concerns about Santa Monica’s police department following the May 31 protests and riot. The group will review and make recommendations on a variety of public safety topics including use of force, public outreach, transparency and budget. The 11-member group will serve staggered four years terms and meet at least once a month.
