This post provides comments from the meeting as they are being made and includes PowerPoint slides presented by county officials.
During the public comment portion of the meeting, a letter from Ojai Councilman William Weirick was read aloud:
"Yesterday, I was told that large corporate, big box, retailers like Target were being allowed to have in-store clothing sales while small business clothing stores were still restricted to curb-side or delivery. I found this hard to believe, but confirmed it personally last evening. From a managed risk perspective, is the County of Ventura telling small businesses that it is greater risk for them to have in-store clothing sales than Target or Costco, with the same or greater distancing and other safety protocols? Does also selling food somehow magically mean a lower risk inside a big box retailer with inherently greater crowd intensity? How can small-business owners avoid the conclusion that Ventura County is discriminating against them in favor of large corporate retailers?"
