County Reopening Plan

SLO County will unveil the plan to be ready to reopen the county in phases when the Governor proceeds with reopening the state, based on scientific/health indicators, by the end of the day.

Here’s what you need to know:

We are currently in the “Shelter at Home” phase. Before we begin reopening SLO County, the following must happen:

1. The Governor must lift his Stay at Home Order or modify it to grant local control to SLO County; and
2. Public Health guidelines must be met in each phase of the plan in order to progress to full reopening. 

Bottom line: What you do matters. If we all follow all Public Health guidelines it will help slow the spread so we can reopen SLO County more quickly.

The Governor's reopening plan is available here.  

The SLO County is posted here. More details will be included in the City's COVID-19 newsletter later today. Subscribe to COVID-19 updates.

Weed Abatement Deadline is May 1

Weed abatement inspections begin May 1, 2020. Please follow the following guidelines:

Help Paso, Take the Census

Census results help determine how billions of dollars in federal funding flow into states and communities each year for things like health clinics, fire departments, schools; even roads and highways. The results determine how many seats in Congress each state gets. The U.S. has counted its population every 10 years since 1790. Support Paso Robles, take the census now.

Free WiFi for Paso Residents 

During this shelter-at-home period, the City is helping student residents with internet accessibility by expanding reception at two locations: in front of the City Library on 11th Street and at the Library Study Center at 36th and Oak. To connect to the WiFi, log into the library’s secured network which is the same at both locations:
