Staff is soliciting questions from the community in advance of these virtual events
and we will posting the call-in number for each date that is scheduled.
Staff or No Sta f
- If the Council comes to City Hall,it's assumed that we would use Facebook Live as the platform,
using Red Rock Creek's equipment.
- With the number of people staying at home,it might be good to re-think the evening events.
- Kent said 10:30 in the morning was "weird"but I think we should try to get them during a
lunchtime for the broadest reach. It's entirely up to Council.
- If council members use a different platform from home, they may not need/want staff to help
(remotely).
Pla orm
We can adapt to whatever Councilors prefer. The two most broad-reaching are: Facebook Live &
Microsoft Teams
Facebook Live requires staff support to go smoothly.
- Facebook Live is strictly limited to 1 hour session They are recorded and embedded on Facebook
for playback.
- Please to be in Red Rock Creek 15 minutes before your start time.
- You will be on camera. Off-camera, staff will be typing questions from social media, etc., for you to
answer, along with some `plants' that we've put into the queue to keep things moving.
Microsoft Teams does not require staff support to go smoothly.
- We will advertise the call in number on the council outreach page and social media.
uestion r
- Staff is soliciting questions online and through social media. Callers joining the event can also ask
questions.
- If someone asks about the public safety levy at a city event,you can respond with factual
information and direct them to the campaign if they're receptive.You can say that you support it.
Guardrails
Subject matter: If the participating Councilor is using the outreach solely to promote the public service
levy,no city resources can be used. No equipment, staff set-up,promo or support.
Quorum: It's okay for Councilors to team up on a Council in the Neighborhood event,but no more
than two of you at a time without having to notice it.
Please let staff know if we will need to issue a public notice of a potential quorum.

Subject: New daily briefing for local elected officials and administrators
Caution! This message was sent from outside your organization. Allow sender I Block sender
Dear local electeds and administrators,
We are in unprecedented times and I know your jurisdiction, like mine, is dramatically impacted by Coronavirus and are
eager for up to date information in order to better craft policy responses, direct resources and respond to the questions
of your community members and the media. I also know that you and your staff are very busy and it is likely you have
limited capacity to participate in daily briefings or read Situation Reports that are dozens of pages long. So, in an effort
to help facilitate communication and ensure as smooth and strong a regional response as possible to this pandemic,
Metro staff is creating a daily briefing geared towards elected officials and their needs.
This email will be coming from me at around 5pm every Monday through Friday until Incident Command Structures are
deactivated. At this point we have populated this list with jurisdictional executives and administrators from all the
Metro jurisdictions as well as the other representatives from the RDPO Policy committee. If you have received this email
you are already on our list, if you would like to have others of your staff or council sign up they can go to this link and
subscribe. If you have questions for the group, or information to share,you can email
regionaldisastercommunications@oregonmetro.gov.
It is our hope that this daily briefing will be relatively short, but include the information you need to help keep your
jurisdiction, and our entire region safe and on the road to a rapid and long term recovery.
Thank you, and best wishes for good health for you and your community,
Lynn

COVID-19 Federal Assistance for Small Businesses
In response to the COVID-19 Pandemic,the President will soon be signing into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief,and
Economic Security Act, or the "CARES" Act (HR 748). This legislation provides nearly $2 trillion in assistance,
including tax credits and $377 billion for loans and grants to assist small businesses with the impacts of COVID-19.
The following document outlines the primary loan programs made available to small businesses including $350
billion in loan forgiveness grants and $10 billion for Economic Injury Disaster loans and grants.
Information is also provided on bill's tax provisions, including the payroll tax deferral. This provision is intended
to provide immediate cash flow assistance to businesses by allowing employers to delay payment of their share
of FICA payroll taxes(and half of SECA tax liability). However,the full amount of these taxes will be due by the end
of December 31, 2022 with the initial 50%due at the end of 2021.
DISCLAIMER — While this document represents the best available information at this point in time, the Small
Business Administration (SBA)and Internal Revenue Service(IRS)have not yet issued guidance on these programs.
This document was finalized the some day legislation was approved by Congress, and is intended to inform
businesses of the options that will soon be available tothem. Please look for official guidance from the federal
agencies in the coming days, and work with your accountant, lender, and/or other advisors to confirm how these
programs can best assist you.
Loans and Grants
Paycheck Protection Program (Forgivable Loans)
The bill provides $350 billion for a new Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to make loans to small businesses
through the existing framework of the Small Business Administration's 7(a) program, the agency's flagship loan
offering.The 7(a) program is a partnership between private financial lenders, which issue the loans, and the SBA,
which guarantees them.
Eligibility: Businesses with 500 employees or fewer or that otherwise meet the current Small Business
Administration (SBA)size standards; self-employed individuals&"gig economy"workers; and certain non-profits,
including 501(c)(3) organizations, 501(c)(19) veteran organizations, and tribal businesses with under 500
employees. Borrowers will need to have been in business as of Feb. 15, 2020, and paid employee salaries and
payroll taxes, or paid independent contractors.
The law requires eligible borrowers to make a good faith certification that the loan is necessary due to the
uncertainty of current economic conditions caused by COVID-19; they will use the funds to retain workers and
maintain payroll, lease, and utility payments; and are not receiving duplicative funds for the same uses from
another SBA program.
Loan Details: The maximum loan amount available under the Paycheck Protection Program will be 250% of an
employer's average total monthly payroll costs, up to a maximum loan amount of $10 million ($5 million more

than the normal 7(a) limitation). The loands carry a 100% federal guarantee. The bill also sets the maximum
interest rate for these loans at 4%and allows borrowers to defer payments for six months to a year.
Allowable Uses:Allowable uses include payroll support (including paid sick or medical leave), employee salaries,
mortgage payments, insurance premiums and any other debt obligations. Covered payroll costs include salary,
wages, and payment of cash tips up to a maximum annual pay rate of $100,000; employee group healthcare
benefits, including insurance premiums; retirement contributions; and covered leave.
Restrictions: By receiving a loan under this program, businesses may become ineligible for other relief provided
in the bill. For example, loan recipients under this program are ineligible for the employee retention credit found
in Section 2301 of the CARES Act. However, the Act does allow a business to receive both a PPP loan and an
economic injury disaster loan (EIDL) under certain circumstances, including if the EIDL is made before PPP loans
are available and is not being used fora purpose covered by the PPP loan, or if the borrower received the EIDL for
a disaster other than COVID-19.
Loan Forgiveness: Borrowers would be eligible for loan forgiveness equal to the amount spent by the borrower
on payroll costs during an 8-week period after the loan origination date (including additional wages to tipped
workers), interest payment on any mortgage incurred prior to February 15, 2020, rent payment on a lease in force
prior to that date, and utility payment for service which began prior to that date.
Loan forgiveness amounts cannot exceed the principal amount of the loan. Forgiveness amounts would be
reduced proportionally by any reduction in employees retained compared to the prior year and reduced by the
reduction in pay of any employee beyond 25%of their prior year compensation. Loan amounts not forgiven after
one year would be carried forward as an ongoing loan with a maximum term of 10 years, at a maximum of 4%
interest, while the 100% loan guarantee would remain intact.
To encourage employers to rehire employees who have already been laid off due to the COVID-19 crisis,borrowers
that re-hire workers previously laid off wouldn't be penalized for having a reduced payroll at the beginning of the
loan period.
Credit Profile:The main underwriting standards for eligibility will be proof of payroll costs, and is expected to be
significantly relaxed compared with 7(a) loans issued during typical times.The SBA will release detailed guidelines
in coming days on underwriting and application criteria.
How to Apply: The SBA guarantees the loans, so borrowers will need to apply through banks, credit unions and
other lenders. Approximately 1,800 private lenders are already approved to issue 7(a) loans. SBA plans to issue
new regulations that will make it possible for almost all FDIC-insured banks to make SBA loans, so businesses can
reach out to their existing lenders and inquire about applying for a 7(a) small business loan.
The SBA is required to streamline the process to bring additional lenders into the program, and the Treasury
Secretary would be authorized to expedite the addition of new lenders. Secretary Mnuchin has stated plans to
implement a very simple process within a week under which loans can be made and disbursed in the same day.
Information will be made available at sba.gov.
Emergency Expansion of"Economic Injury Disaster Loans" (EIDL)
The bill provides an additional $10 billion and expands eligibility for access to the SBA's Economic Injury Disaster
Loans (EIDL), an existing program that provides economic relief to businesses impacted by disasters. Generally,
EIDLs provide up to$2 million for working capital and have a 3.75%interest rate for small businesses and a 2.75%
rate for nonprofits.
Eligibility: While EIDL eligibility is normally restricted to specific areas with a disaster declaration, all qualifying
small businesses in the U.S. are eligible for a disaster relief loan from the SBA due to the breadth and scope of
COVID-19's impact on the American economy.
Prior to the CARES Act, EIDLs have been available to small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small
businesses engaged in aquaculture, and most private, nonprofit organizations. The legislation also expands
eligibility to include tribal businesses, cooperatives, and ESOPs with fewer than 500 employees or any individual
operating as a sole proprietor or an independent contractor during the covered period (January 31, 2020 to
December 31, 2020
Loan Details: Through the EIDL program, SBE will offer up to $2 million in assistance and provide economic
support to small businesses to help overcome the temporary loss of revenue they are experiencing. Loans can be
used to provide paid sick leave to employees, maintain payroll, meet increased costs to obtain materials, make
rent or mortgage payments, and repay obligations that cannot be met due to revenue losses.
SBA offers loans with long-term repayments in order to keep payments affordable, up to a maximum of 30 years.
Terms are determined on a case-by-case basis, based upon each borrower's ability to repay. These loans may be
used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that can't be paid because of the disaster's
impact.The interest rate is 3.75%for small businesses.The interest rate for non-profits is 2.75%.
The bill also provides$10 billion for SBA to establish provide Emergency Grants to allow an eligible entity who has
applied for an EIDL loan due to COVID-19 to request an advance on that loan, of not more than $10,000. The
advance will be provided within three days of applying for the loan, and businesses will not be required to repay
the advance, even if they are denied for an EIDL.
Restrictions: Business are allowed to receive both a Paycheck Protection loan and an EIDL under certain
circumstances, including if the EIDL is made before PPP loans are available and is not being used for a purpose
covered by the PPP loan, or if the borrower received the EIDL for a disaster other than COVID-19.
Credit Profile: During the covered period, SBA is allowed to approve and offer EIDL loans based solely on an
applicant's credit score, or use an alternative appropriate alternative method for determining applicant's ability
to repay.The legislation requires that for any SBA EIDL loans made in response to COVID-19 before December 31,
2020, the SBA shall waive normal restrictions including any personal guarantee on advances and loans below
$200,000, the requirement that an applicant needs to have been in business for the 1-year period before the
disaster, and the credit elsewhere requirement.
How to Apply:Applicants can access applications directly from SBA's website at disasterloan.sba.gov/ela
Tax Credits
Employee Retention Tax Credit
The CARES Act includes a provision providing a refundable payroll tax credit to eligible employers for 50 percent
of wages paid to employees during the COVID-19 crisis.The provision provides a refundable credit against payroll
tax (Social Security and Railroad Retirement) liability equal to 50% of the first $10,000 in wages per employee
(including value of health plan benefits).
Eligibility: Employers must meet one of the following criteria:
• Business operations were fully or partially suspended operations due to orders from a
governmental entity limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings; or
• Experienced a year-over-year (comparing calendar quarters) reduction in gross receipts of at
least 50%— until gross receipts exceed 80%year-over-year.
For employers with more than 100 full-time employees, only employees who are currently not providing services
for the employer due to COVID-19 causes are eligible for the credit.The employee retention credit is effective for
wages paid after March 12, 2020, and before January 1, 2021.
Payroll Tax Payment Deferral
Under the bill, employers and self-employed individuals may delay payment of the employer's share of FICA
payroll taxes (and half of SECA tax liability),with 50%of such taxes due by December 31, 2021,and the other 50%
due by December 31, 2022. This tax provision is intended to immediately increase the amount of cash available
to businesses nationwide, but does represent only a delay in the due date of these taxes.
Previously Approved Federal Tax Credits
The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) was signed into law on March 18th, 2020, and required
companies that employ less than 500 employees to pay 80 hours of sick leave and up to 12 weeks of family leave
for employees who are required to stay home because of six specific Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19)-related
reasons.To assist employers,the legislation included the following provisions:
Credit for Paid Sick Leave— Each quarter, private employers are entitled to fully refundable tax credits for both
paid sick leave and paid FMLA. The tax credits are applied against an employer's already-owed Social Security
taxes. However, if that offset is not enough to cover these payouts to employees,then the Treasury Department
is authorized to help cover the rest with cash payouts.
In addition, the Treasury is directed to issue regulations to waive penalties for businesses not submitting their
payroll taxes if they do so in anticipation of a refund under the new law. In addition,the Treasury Department has
said they will soon be releasing a form for small businesses to request an expedited advance on their refund.
Additionally, an employer's tax credit is increased by the amount the employer pays to maintain health care
related to new sick leave and FMLA benefits.This will allow a company to maintain health care benefits while the
employee is on leave.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Washington County partners with City of Hillsboro and Comfort Inn & Suites to establish respite shelter
Hillsboro, OR—Washington County is partnering with the City of Hillsboro and Comfort Inn &Suites in
Hillsboro to open a non-congregate respite shelter.The 114-room hotel will temporarily house individuals experiencing
homelessness as well as group home residents who have either tested positive for COVID-19 or are symptomatic and
need to be isolated from others.These individuals were hospitalized and are being discharged or never required
hospitalization.
"We know this virus has the potential to hit our unhoused communities and other vulnerable populations especially
hard," said Kathryn Harrington, Washington County board chair. "We are grateful to Comfort Inn &Suites and the City of
Hillsboro for partnering with us on what we hope will address a significant need for those experiencing houelessness."
"All of us are in this crisis together," said Bakulesh 'Buggsi' Patel, CEO of BHG Hotels. "I'm glad we are able to participate
with the county,the cities and the social service agencies to offer a partial solution to the serious issue of people
needing housing. If we all stick together and give a little, we will prevail over this dangerous situation."
Comfort Inn &Suites on NE Cornell Road is centrally located near the county's major hospitals. It will serve as
a countywide resource for hospitals and public health authorities to safely quarantine individuals in a medical sheltering
environment. Individuals with confirmed COVID-19 will be housed on a separate floor from those who are symptomatic
but without a positive test result. Each individual will be housed in their own room.
"Our community members experiencing homelessness are potentially the most vulnerable among us during the COVID-
19 pandemic," said Hillsboro Mayor Steve Callaway. "We are deeply grateful for Washington County's leadership and
Comfort Inn &Suites' help in addressing this pressing need to provide safe shelter with coordinated care."
The respite shelter will be staffed 24 hours a day by community partners such as Medical Reserve Corps,
staff who operate the County's winter shelter network, and contracted agencies.The shelter will provide wellness
checks,food provided by Meals On Wheels, and supports to help individuals transition from homelessness to permanent
housing.
i
The contract runs today through May 31, 2020, with an option of extending it if necessary.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 20-13
TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON CERTAIN EVICTIONS AND TERMINATIONS OF RENTAL AGREEMENTS AND LEASES, IN
RESPONSE TO CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) OUTBREAK
On February 28, 2020, 1 appointed the State of Oregon's Coronavirus Response Team.
On February 29, 2020, the Department of Human Services issued strict guidelines, restricting visitation at congregated care
facilities, including nursing homes.
On March 2, 2020,the State of Oregon Emergency Coordination Center was activated.
On March 8, 2020, 1 declared an emergency under ORS 401.165 et seq. due to the public health threat posed by the novel
infectious coronavirus (COVID-19).
On March 12, 2020, 1 prohibited gatherings of 250 or more people, and announced a statewide closure of Oregon K-12 schools
from March 16, 2020,through March 31, 2020.
On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency.
On March 17, 2020, 1 prohibited gatherings of 25 or more people, banned on-site consumption of food and drink at food
establishments statewide, and extended school closures until April 28, 2020. 1 also encouraged all businesses not subject to the
prohibitions to implement social distancing protocols.
On March 18, 2020, 1 suspended in-person instructional activities at higher education institutions through April 28, 2020;
On March 22, 2020, 1 imposed a temporary moratorium on residential evictions for nonpayment, prohibiting law enforcement
from serving, delivering, or acting on any notice, order or writ of termination of tenancy, relating to residential evictions for
nonpayment.
On March 23, 2020, 1 ordered Oregonians to "Stay Home, Save Lives," directing individuals to stay home to the greatest extent
possible, ordering the closure of specified retail businesses, requiring social distancing measures for other public and private
facilities, and imposing requirements for outdoor areas and licensed childcare facilities.
COVID-19 may cause respiratory disease leading to serious illness or death.The World Health Organization considers COVID-19
to be a global pandemic. COVID-19 spreads person-to-person through coughing, sneezing, and close personal contact,
including touching a surface with the virus on it and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.
To reduce spread of COVID-19,the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended
community mitigation strategies to increase containment of the virus and to slow transmission of the virus, including
cancellation of gatherings of people and social distancing in smaller gatherings.
State and local public health officials advise that the virus is circulating in the community and expect the number of cases to
increase.The CDC reports that COVID-19 is most contagious when the individual is most symptomatic but may also spread
before symptoms appear.
The number of COVID-19 cases continues to rise in Oregon.On March 8, 2020, at the time I declared an emergency,there were
14 presumptive or confirmed cases in Oregon.As of today, there are at least 736 cases and 19 deaths.
Ina short time, COVID-19 has spread rapidly:To slow the spread of COVID-19 in Oregon, to protect the health and lives of
Oregonians, particularly those at highest risk, and to help avoid overwhelming local and regional healthcare capacity, I find that
immediate implementation of additional measures is necessary.
Executive Order 20-12 requires individuals to stay at home, to the greatest extent possible.That order, in tum, requires
protections against residential tenant evictions, so tenants can remain at home during this emergency. Executive Order 20:.-11
prohibits law enforcement from enforcing residential tenant eviction notices and orders. Given the ongoing public health
emergency, further action is necessary to prevent termination of residential leases and the initiation of eviction proceedings
during this emergency.These further actions will strengthen the existing protections for residential tenants, ensuring they can
stay home to the greatest extent possible, consistent with my prior directives.
The ongoing emergency also requires protections for tenants of non-residential property, so businesses that are permitted to
operate can continue to provide necessary goods and services, and other businesses can continue to comply with necessary
closures and restrictions mandated by my prior Executive Orders. Every business in Oregon has been impacted by COVID-19.
Many businesses are struggling to assess how long they can maintain operations or remain closed-in compliance with essential
public health directives and orders-without full income. Many are operating at less than full capacity, if at all, and have seen a
significant loss of income due to necessary government restrictions imposed to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.Without
further action, many businesses across the state may face termination of leases or eviction, which could interrupt the provision of
necessary goods and services during this emergency, and impact the livelihood of Oregonians.
For those reasons, a temporary moratorium on terminations of residential and nonresidential rental agreements and evictions on
the basis of nonpayment is necessary during this emergency,to protect the public health, safety and welfare of all Oregonians.
The moratorium set forth in this Executive Order is temporary,with a limited scope and duration. It addresses the immediate
needs identified above, pursuant to my emergency powers, but does not otherwise undermine contractual bargains, interfere
with parties' reasonable expectations, or prevent parties from safeguarding or reinstating their rights.The directives of this
Executive Order are appropriate, necessary, and reasonable means by which to implement the significant and legitimate public
purpose of responding to the declaration of a state of emergency I issued on March 8, 2020.
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DIRECTED AND ORDERED THAT:
Pursuant to ORS 433.441(3), ORS 401.168(1), ORS 401.175(3), and
ORS 401.188(2)to (3), 1 am ordering a moratorium on certain terminations of residential rental agreements and non-residential
leases, as set forth below:
1. Residential Tenancies.
a. During this moratorium, landlords of residential properties in Oregon shall not,for reason of nonpayment as defined in
paragraph I(b) of this Executive Order,terminate any tenant's rental agreement;take any action,judicial or otherwise, relating to
residential evictions pursuant to or arising under ORS 105.105 through 105.168, including, without limitation,filing, serving,
delivering or acting on any notice, order or writ of termination or the equivalent; or otherwise interfere in any way with such
tenant's right to possession of the tenant's dwelling unit.
b. The term "nonpayment" as used in paragraph 1 of this Executive Order means any nonpayment of rent, late charges,
utility charges, or any other service charge or fee, as described in ORS 90.392(2)(a) or(c), 90.394, or 90.630(1 )(d) or(10), or any
termination without cause under ORS 90.427.All other terms used in paragraph 1 of this Executive Order shall have the same
meanings as set forth in ORS chapters 90 or 105.
C. Nothing in paragraph 1 of this Executive Order relieves a residential tenant's obligation to pay rent, utility charges, or
any other service charges or fees, except for late charges or other penalties arising from nonpayment which are specifically
waived by and during this moratorium.Additionally, paragraph 1 of this Executive Order does not apply to the termination of
residential rental agreements for causes other than nonpayment.
d. This Executive Order reaffirms and is consistent with Executive Order 20-11,which prohibits law enforcement officers in
Oregon from serving, delivering or acting on any notice, order or writ of termination of tenancy or the equivalent or any judicial
action, pursuant to or arising under ORS 1 Q5.105 through 105.168,that relates to residential evictions for nonpayment.
2. Non-Residential Tenancies.
a. During this moratorium, landlords of non-residential properties in Oregon shall not, for reason of nonpayment as
defined in paragraph 2(b) of this Executive Order,terminate any tenant's lease;take any action,judicial or otherwise, relating to
non-residential evictions pursuant to or arising under ORS 105.105 through 105.168, including,without limitation,filing, serving,
delivering or acting on any notice, order or writ of termination or the equivalent; or otherwise interfere with such tenant's right
to possession of the leased premises.
b. The term "nonpayment" as used in paragraph 2 of this Executive Order means nonpayment of rent, late charges, utility
charges, or any other service charge or fee, as described in the lease or in ORS 91.090, 91.210 or 91.220.All other terms used in
paragraph 2 of this Executive Order shall have the same meanings as set forth in ORS chapters 91 or 105.
C. Paragraph 2 of this Executive Order shall apply if a tenant provides the landlord, within 30 calendar days of unpaid rent

sanitizer made by Rose City Distilling Co., as seen in the bottle she's holding.
A Tigard distillery that's used to producing whiskey, vodka and gin has
r^ turned to making hand sanitizer to help local local first responders during
- the COVID-19 pandemic.
As of Monday, Rose City Distilling Co. on Durham Road had delivered 3,400
pint-sized bottles and 408 750-milliliter bottles of its distinctive blue hand sanitizer to a variety of police and fire
agencies around the area.
"We were able to pivot to an additional line of work fairly seamlessly once our formula was nailed down,"
Cam Werschkul, chief operating officer with Rose City Distilling Co., said in an email Monday, March 30. "We are
using the guidelines set forth by the FDA and World Health Organization."
The hand sanitizer contains at least 70% alcohol, with water, a thickening agent, scent and food coloring added to
the mix. Each batch costs about $500 to produce, according to KPTV Channel 12.
Among the recipients of the hand sanitizer have been the Tigard, Tualatin, Portland, Rockaway Beach and West
Linn police departments, as well as the Washington County and Yamhill County sheriff's offices. Tualatin Valley Fire
& Rescue and Portland Fire & Rescue have received bottles as well.
The six cases of the hand sanitizer sent to the Tigard Police Department contained 24 big bottles in each box,
according to Stefanie Kouremetis, community engagement program coordinator for the department.
"The sanitizer is being used by patrol and all other areas of our department to include detectives, property and
evidence, and records," she said. "Officers are taking additional precautions after every interaction to be safe,
including using more sanitizer than before."
Formerly called Indio Spirits Distillery, Rose City Distilling Co. has been in business for 15 years, moving to its
current Tigard location seven years ago.
