I want to share with you directly what the Town of Paradise Valley is doing in response to the novel coronavirus. The town continues to take all appropriate measures to protect public health and safety.
These actions began many weeks ago and include implementing best practices with our first responders and at Town Hall, publishing a town webpage (https://www.paradisevalleyaz.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=348) with reliable sources of up-to-date information for the public, and ongoing communication and vigilance in concert with County, State, and Federal agencies and officials.
We are observing best practices for preparation and precaution (and never ignorance or fear) to navigate this situation with prudence, steadiness, and common purpose.
While our Town, like many other smaller municipalities, is not organized to run point on large-scale public health matters, we are plugged in with our valuable governmental partners at the county, state, and federal levels and therefore integrated into a team-based, common approach.
This has served and will continue to serve us very well, and eliminates conflicting messages, needless duplication of effort, and other inefficiencies.
Rest assured that, as your mayor, I am actively staying on top of this evolving situation together with the Town’s very seasoned and accomplished senior professional staff, and I am ready and prepared to take any and all necessary actions for the town and our community, along with the Town Council and professional staff.
