(Photo by Watchara Phomicinda, The Press-Enterprise/SCNG) By Jeff Horseman | jhorseman@scng.com | The Press-Enterprise PUBLISHED: September 22, 2020 at 10:54 a.m. | UPDATED: September 22, 2020 at 6:51 p.m. A plan that would break California’s fourth-most populated county away from the state’s coronavirus reopening framework — potentially setting up a showdown with Sacramento — will come back for more consideration and a possible vote Tuesday, Oct. 6, after an emotional daylong hearing Tuesday, Sept. 22. By a 3-2 vote, Riverside County supervisors agreed to further consider Supervisor Jeff Hewitt’s plan in two weeks, after county officials and an economic recovery task force offer input. Supervisors also want more details on exactly what state funding would be at risk should the county defy Sacramento’s reopening guidelines. And they seek more clarity on when different types of businesses could reopen. “It ain’t ready yet,” Supervisor Kevin Jeffries said of Hewitt’s proposal. To Hewitt, he said: “You’ve got us halfway down the field.” Hewitt’s plan seeks to reopen businesses on a faster timeline than Sacramento’s. It also relies on county officials instead of state officials to determine whether the county is ready to reopen more kinds of businesses.

Hewitt proposed to have the county reopen businesses in defiance of the states reopening guidelines during the coronavirus pandemic. (Photo by Watchara Phomicinda, The Press-Enterprise/SCNG) Expand Supervisor Karen Spiegel also wanted more fine tuning, noting that under Hewitt’s original plan, some businesses would have to stay closed, even though the state’s four-tier reopening system allows them to open now that Riverside County moved to the state’s red tier Tuesday. “I want us to open,” she said. “But I also don’t want us to be hurting the same people we’re trying to help more so. So I think we have to look at this a little more carefully.” Prompted by Jeffries, County Executive Officer George Johnson said potentially, $656 million in state funding — about 10% of the county’s $6.5 billion annual budget — could be in peril if the county goes against the state’s reopening rules. “I don’t like that answer,” Jeffries quipped. “If you’re wrong it’s $28 million and if you’re right, it’s $650 million or higher, we need to give some thought as to how we’re going to free our businesses and free up the livelihood of our residents and also at the same time protect our most vulnerable residents out there” and provide public services. Hewitt chided Johnson and called the CEO’s estimates “absolutely ridiculous.” “If we’re defying (Gov. Gavin Newsom’s) order and staying within his (COVID-19 health) parameters, why would he (cut funding)? Out of spite?” Hewitt said. “I think at the end of the day, we don’t lose any money on this. And that’s why I think we need to move forward on this and not push it off.” The county could lose state dollars if it does not follow the four-tier system, a California Department of Public Health spokeswoman said Sunday, Sept. 20, via email. “The Budget Act conditions the distribution of certain funds on a local jurisdiction’s adherence to federal and state public health guidance,” Kate Folmar wrote. Supervisor V. Manuel Perez said the county has tried to balance health and economic needs during the pandemic. Noting the county just moved into the red tier, “I think it’s important that we stay the course, just like our neighbors in Orange County did,” he said. Jeffries, Hewitt and Spiegel voted to bring Hewitt’s proposal back Oct. 6. Perez and Supervisor Chuck Washington voted no. The vote followed a marathon hearing in which dozens of speakers weighed in on Hewitt’s plan Early on, a line of people waiting to get into county headquarters in downtown Riverside stretched outside the building and residents packed the lobby outside the board chambers. Protesters in favor of Hewitt’s plan picketed before the session. Most people in the audience were not wearing masks and several wore the red “Make America Great Again” caps popular with President Donald Trump’s supporters. A number of speakers directed their ire at Newsom, blaming him for their kids being locked out of school and accusing him of exceeding his authority. Kira Boranian, who made headlines when she opened her Corona salon in defiance of the state, criticized supervisors. “I am ashamed that the Board of Supervisors has taken this long to finally have somebody like Jeff Hewitt, who is going to put a proposal on the table and save people’s livelihoods,” she said. “I could have lost my home. I could have lost everything that I have because that was my livelihood was that salon.” Members of the public, some sobbing, others seething, spoke of missing weddings and funerals, their children being deprived of a full education or feeling like they’re living in a totalitarian state. Others spoke of friends struggling with depression, suicidal thoughts, substance abuse and unemployment. Robert Brown, who said he was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer three years ago, urged the board to reopen the county. “Myself and other cancer patients I know are actually against closing down,” he said. “If I have to go back to chemo, do I need to shelter at home? Absolutely … but we are destroying the well-being of everyone, including me. You’re taking the life I have, whether that’s another year and a half or 20 years, you’re taking the life I have away from me …” The vast majority of speakers supported Hewitt’s proposal. One exception was Delores Green, executive director of the Riverside County Medical Association. “We must remain vigilant in our efforts to combat COVID-19 and to protect patients and not take actions that will overburden the health care system in Riverside County,” she said. Tuesday’s atmosphere matched that of two marathon public hearings in May, when the board voted to lift the county’s local mask mandate. As with the May meetings, Tuesday’s hearing became a chance to vent for those angry with COVID-19 restrictions, and raucous applause greeted those demanding an end to a lock down they see as a tyrannical and fear-based overreaction to an overblown, if not fabricated, pandemic. Like the rest of California, Riverside County is subject to the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy, a four-tier, color-coded system that lifts COVID-19 restrictions based on case levels and positive test rates for the virus. Going into Tuesday, the county was in the purple, or most restrictive, tier. But Tuesday, improving metrics moved the county into the red tier, which will allow places of worship, restaurants, and other businesses to resume indoor operations with limits on how many people can be inside.

By comparison, the state framework only allows limited indoor winery operations in the third or orange tier, while breweries that don’t provide meals can’t open until the orange tier, and only then for outdoor operations. Wedding receptions and group events at 25% capacity or 100 people, whichever is less, would get the green light after Oct. 13 under the Hewitt plan. Gyms, movie theaters, and bars could reopen after Nov. 3. Along the way, county officials, including those in the public health department, would evaluate metrics before the plan enters the next phase. Hewitt’s memo on his plan also stresses the importance of social distancing, face coverings in public and testing to control the virus. Jeffries said when he had “something close to pneumonia” a few years ago, “I put my well being, my health in the hands of my physician … would I have expected my physician to tell me to close my business and shut down my livelihood? Absolutely not. That would be incredibly reckless. Yet that’s where we are today.” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Newsroom Guidelines * News Tips * Contact Us * Report an Error %5B%7B%22id%22%3A%22154%22%2C%22name%22%3A%22%22%2C%22description%22%3A%22%22%7D%5D NEWS AS IT BREAKS.
