Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update [100-2021] City Manager Leung utilized a presentation to discuss ange County cases, County, State, and City status, COVID-19 vaccination sites,Proclamation of Local Emergency, and Resolution No. 2021-62. Council Member O'Neill indicated that the decrease in COVID-19 cases over the past few months is amazing, hospitalizations are in the single digits, the statistics for Newport Beach should have been higher because it is an older community, the overall case rate is in the bottom six in Orange County, four Newport Beach zip codes are in the bottom 20, and two zip codes are in the bottom six. He thanked Hoag Hospital for partnering with Council, the community, and City staff for continuing operations during the pandemic. He stated that making the finding for extreme peril is no longer possible and the declared emergency should be removed. Council Member Blom pressed concern about a state of emergency resulting in the consolidation of power, Council did mrabuse its emergency powers and will be lifting the emergency as quickly as possible, and the Police Department's and staffs actions have been exemplary. Mayor Pro Tem Muldoon expressed the opinion that abuses of power occurred, disparate outcomes and processes in some States correlate to abuses of power, education is better than mandates, local government is a sub -jurisdiction of the State, and added that police powers are dr-elegated to the Governor and State Legislature, otherwise the City Council would have removed the emergency sooner. In response to Council Member Dixon's question, City Attorney Harp advised that Governor Newsom continues to operate under emergency powers. Jim Mosher, addressing Item 15, inquired whether staff understood the effects of terminating the emergency on the City's ability to obtain State and Federal funding and resources, and stated declaring an emergency in the future in order to receive funds and resources may be difficult. Charles Klobe noted the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to continue the emergency strictly to access Federal funding and requested clarification of the consequences of lifting the emergency.
