She said she met with 18 <br />the mayors, and sent out the amended Orange County EO today. She said the EO141 does 19 <br />not require customer service employees to wear masks, but Orange County’s order does; as 20 <br />well as highly recommending customers coming into shops and restaurants to wear face 21 <br />coverings. She said the Governor required no more than 10 unrelated people at a table, but 22 <br />DHHS required no more than 6, so Orange County requires only 6 as well, and 10 if you are 23 <br />cohabitating. She said indoor gatherings are still limited to 10 people, and outside is 25 people. 24 <br />She said Orange County had this language included for weddings and funerals as well, but has 25 <br />since removed it as there is some worship that goes on in weddings and funerals Orange 26 <br />County did not want to infringe on anyone’s right to worship. She said Orange County’s EO is 27 <br />still in place until June 30th. 28 <br />Commissioner Bedford said many people have passed away during this season, and 29 <br />traditional funerals could not be held. She said she wanted to recognize these families, and 30 <br />express sympathy for their losses. 31 <br />Commissioner Marcoplos asked if there is general consensus from local law 32 <br />enforcement regarding people that are unwilling to follow the executive orders. 33 <br />Chair Rich said Sheriff Blackwood, EMS, and fire chiefs have been a part of the EOC 34 <br />from the beginning, and only one citation has been given in Orange County so far. She said 35 <br />local law enforcement is here to educate not arrest. She said all have worked together in 36 <br />excellent partnership. 37 <br /> 38 <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Marcoplos to 39 <br />adjourn the meeting at 8:46 p.m. 40 <br /> 41 <br /> 42 <br /> Penny Rich, Chair 43 <br /> 44 <br /> 45 <br />Donna S.
