A special Paso Robles City Council meeting was called Thursday night to discuss the Governor s stay-at-home order and its impacts on local businesses.
In a unanimous vote, the city council voiced its opinion against a full shutdown. However, in a press release sent out Friday afternoon, the city made clear that if businesses defy the state s stay-at-home order, they can still face state and county repercussions.
