On March 13th, 2020, during a special meeting of the City Council, Mayor Salvador Melendez and Members of the City Council, issued an order to restrict all public access to any and all public facilities until further notice.  This means the closure of City Hall, city parks, all park facilities to the public, and the cancellation of all City events and events at city facilities.  The Montebello Police Department has published answers to frequently asked questions on COVID-19 here: COVID-19 FAQ

This was an adjunct to the Mayor's earlier state-of-emergency declaration on March 12th which directed City personnel, and Department Heads to take additional steps that can help slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, commonly referred to at COVID-19, strengthening the local response to the outbreak with measures that include new limits on public gatherings in City facilities. 

Mayor Melendez and City Council Members signed a local emergency declaration as a precautionary measure to formalize coordination with public health agencies, smooth the way for quicker acquisition of supplies, and ease access to State and Federal funds should the need arise in response to COVID-19. 

The Montebello Police Department has also suspended until further notice the enforcement of street cleaning parking regulations in light of citizens' need to stay home or work remotely.
