    First, Why is the parks commission and and especially the city council discussing this before discussing how to enforce a group activities ban on the beach without issuing a misdemeanor ticket. Why do we have to even address this?

    Shouldn’t this have been part of the original emergency order?

    I’ve asked the city manager and city officials this question several times after observing the abject failure of the city to enforce the group activities ban at valley park and at the Beach volleyball Courts?

    What is the group activities enforcement mechanism?

    I asked a community services police officer who was patrolling valley park after the officer drove past a group of 8 people that were in an exercise class AND not wearing masks!

    Second, when I walked the beach this weekend almost no one was wearing a mask on the beach.

    Meanwhile Covid jumped 11% week to week and has been steadily rising in HB and throughout the beach community, Covid infections have been rising steadily for the past 4 weeks.

    What you should be discussing is why mask wearing runs at about 2% compliance on the beach and why the city is looking the other way when volleyball nets are being allowed despite the group activities ban.
