South County Democratic Club Urges SLO Board of Supervisors to Ensure the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area Is Not Reopened Too Soon During the COVID-19 Pandemic

June 14, 2020The South County Democratic Club of San Luis Obispo County -- which embraces Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, and Pismo Beach, as well as the communities of Nipomo and Oceano -- contacted the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors on June 14, 2020, to urge that, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, they, "... work together as colleagues to notify the California Department of Parks and Recreation that reopening the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area (ODSVRA) too soon would be a serious mistake."The South County Democratic Club advised caution, saying that, "... we cannot afford errors that would undermine the process of reopening our businesses, revitalizing our local economy and safeguarding our residents’ well-being." Citing and agreeing with SLO County Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein's May 15 opinion that, “Leisure travel should not take place during a pandemic," the South County Democratic Club emphasized in its letter to the Board of Supervisors that, "'Leisure travel' means tourism, driving for hours to go to a beach. It's that clear."For the full text of the South County Democratic Club of San Luis Obispo County letter to the SLO Board of Supervisors, see below, and visit the Club's Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/South-County-Democratic-Club-of-San-Luis-Obispo-County-CA-100474140046327/The South County Democratic Club of San Luis Obispo County is an officially chartered club of the San Luis Obispo County Democratic Party (SLOCDP).
