With the City of Hood River’s COVID-19 emergency declaration having expired at the end of September, the focus is now on adaptions the City may need to make to its regulations until the pandemic is substantially resolved.  Assistant City Manager Will Norris and Planning Director Dustin Nilson presented to Councilors a long list of items they will be working on. from forming work groups to address the needs of the restaurant industry, evaluating the parklet program, and making City parks available for activities like exercise classes and youth activities to modifying the ordinance which requires disconnection of water service after two months of non-payment.  Norris says they are looking at changing the water service ordinance to give the staff more discretion.  Councilors gave their approval for staff to continue working on those subjects.
