Weekly Spotlight

As the Town of Paradise continues to recover from the Camp Fire, it is important to remain focused on our important recovery work while taking necessary precautions to protect our community from COVID-19.  The Town of Paradise is instituting new procedures to protect the health of our staff and the public. Our ultimate goal remains supporting our residents as they recover. These changes will not impede or slow our recovery but will make us all safer during these uncertain times.

Building Resiliency Center

The Building Resiliency Center will remain open to the public for building services; however, the Town will institute the following procedures to encourage social distancing:

• For permitting, plan submittals or permit pickup, please call ahead and make an appointment at (530) 872-6291 x 411.

News This Week

• PID: To reduce the gathering size of their monthly PID Board meetings they ask that our community join their Facebook Livestream to participate instead of attending meetings in person. To improve participation for the Livestream audience, during the upcoming March 18th meeting they will be selecting public comments from Facebook viewers to be read to PID’s Board of Directors during the meeting. This will be the first-ever online public board meeting held by the Paradise Irrigation District. They ask that participants remain patient with the process and keep comments relevant to District Business.

• Paradise Unified School District has informed parents that starting tomorrow all classes will be ceased until March 27. Superintendent Tom Taylor said that following Gov. Newsom’s press conference and “after much deliberation with all Butte County Superintendents, the recommendation has been made by the Butte County Office of Education to have no student contact days starting Monday, March 16th through Friday, March 27th.” Teachers will use Monday to collaborate and develop plans for online learning and independent study packets. He also said that Newsom has asked them to provide food for students. Information regarding food services was posted on the PUSD website at 10:00 am Monday morning.
