Dear San Ramon Community,
This week, Contra Costa County remains in the the purple tier in the State's Blueprint for a Safer Economy.
Contra Costa County Health Services has created a Vaccine Appointment Guide to assist in requesting and scheduling appointments for eligible residents, and the County's Board of Supervisors has passed an urgency ordinance to temporarily cap fees charged by third party food delivery services.
The City of San Ramon's free Business Assistance Program continues in 2021 for San Ramon-based small businesses and non-profits, with a free webinar this Friday, February 5.
The deadline to apply for the next lottery drawing in San Ramon's Affordable Home Ownership program is Tuesday, February 9, and applications are open until mid-February for several San Ramon Advisory Committees.
Below are the latest updates for the San Ramon community.
Help Someone You Know Get Vaccinated
If you know someone who is eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine, but may need assistance scheduling an appointment, Contra Costa Health Services has created a Vaccine Appointment Guide, with details of who is eligible for a vaccine, how to help an eligible county resident make an appointment, what happens after requesting an appointment, and more. Learn more at the link below.
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Caps Third-Party Food Delivery Fees
This week, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed an urgency ordinance to put a temporary cap on commissions and fees charged by third-party food delivery services to local restaurants.
Under Urgency Ordinance No. 2021-05, if a customer places an online order for delivery or pickup at a restaurant through a platform operated by a third-party delivery firm, the delivery firm cannot charge the restaurant more than 15% of the order. Similarly, if a third-party delivery firm provides a service such as processing online orders for a restaurant, the delivery firm cannot charge the restaurant more than 10% of the order for providing that service.
The ordinance will expire when public health orders allow all restaurants in the County to seat customers at their indoor dining at 100 percent capacity.
