COUNCILMEMBER ITEMS
19. 20-1642 Submitted by Councilmembers Posey and Brenden - Direct staff to
research Outdoor Dining Program for COVID-19 restaurant relief
Recommended Action:
Take out service for food and beverage is already allowed. Patrons should have, and for
all practical purposes already have, dining access within public and private spaces. This
proposed voluntary program allows more options for restaurants and patrons alike.
Adoption of the program would boost restaurant sales as well as boost a return to
socialization.
Based on this assessment of the situation, we are requesting that the City Council vote to
direct staff to develop a program that would temporarily allow conversion of adjacent public
and private spaces into outdoor dining areas to allow restaurants greater dining capacity,
given COVID-19 social distancing requirements.
20. 20-1643 Submitted by Councilmember Peterson - Reopening Huntington
Beach
Recommended Action:
A) Create a list of businesses essential to Huntington Beach and discuss the policies
needed to get our City open; and,
B) Discuss local enforcement of the State orders.
