that California, Oregon and
Washington have agreed to
work together on a shared
approach for reopening our
economies — one that iden-
tifi es clear indicators for
communities to restart pub-
lic life and business.
While each state is build-
ing a state-specifi c plan, our
states have agreed to the fol-
lowing principles as we build
out a West Coast framework:
Our residents’ health comes
fi rst. As home to one in six
Americans and gateway to
the rest of the world, the
West Coast has an outsized
stake in controlling and ulti-
mately defeating COVID-19.
Health outcomes and sci-
ence — not politics — will
guide these decisions. Modi-
fi cations to our states’ stay at
home orders must be made

must consider in May is
Measure 20-306. Th is mea-
sure is a Lane Community

$121 million, to construct
and improve facilities and
address safety and technol-
ogy needs.

of the total health impacts
of COVID-19, including:
the direct impact of the dis-
ease on our communities;
the health impact of mea-
sures introduced to control
the spread in communities

already experiencing so-
cial disadvantage prior to
COVID-19; and our health
care systems’ ability to en-
sure care for those who may
become sick with COVID-19
and other conditions.
Th is eff ort will be guided

the virus before large-scale

working in coordination to
identify the best metrics to

Protecting vulnerable pop-

ease if infected. Th is includes
a concerted eff ort to prevent
