Staff and community members will have a chance to celebrate Mr. Frutchey on Friday, April 16, 2021 from 4:30-5:30 p.m. A drive-through celebration is being held in the parking lot of city hall.

During his five-plus years with the City of Paso Robles, Frutchey led the city organization, working with the council and staff to approve significant housing development that will pay its own way; upgrade the city’s water and wastewater systems; increase fire response capabilities by 50-percent; facilitate the state’s sale of the boy’s school property to return it to productive use; reduce the city’s unfunded liabilities; increase reserves, and oversee many other efforts.
–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.

LEADER The city of Paso Robles is enforcing purple tier restrictions only as it continues to lead the county s positive COVID-19 cases with more than 1,800 since March. However, the city made it clear that businesses (mainly restaurants) that knowingly don t comply with the regional stay-at-home order are at risk of enforcement from county and state agencies. The state determines those restrictions, City Manager Tom Frutchey said during the meeting. The city can t do that. If an individual or business holds a license or permit from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, for example, and violates regional stay-at-home orders, they are subject to that state agency s enforcement.
