Planning for Recovery

From the start of the City of Arvada's response to the COVID-19 health crisis, planning for recovery has been an important piece. A Recovery Team was established early on, and now the City continues to respond to the health and economic challenges associated with COVID-19.

Our Principles for Recovery

The City's approach supports the state's recovery objectives, including: 

• Work to suppress the virus 
• Increase ability to conduct testing and containment
• Help protect those most at risk for COVID-19
• Support the healthcare system's ability to handle increased demand
• Support social distancing policies that allow for economic growth and stability
• Ongoing monitoring and evaluation of policies and their impact

The City has identified specific principles to guide resuming in-person services and achieving long-term recovery:

• The health, safety and well-being of our community and employees remains our top priority.
• The economic recovery of our community and organization is essential to long-term recovery.
• We will reopen facilities in phases and with extreme caution and care while acknowledging the risks.  
• We are nimble and flexible in our planning and decision making as we respond to evolving circumstances.
• We are committed to working collaboratively and remaining aligned as a team in our recovery efforts.
• We will continue to follow the advice of state and local health experts regarding physical distancing and other guidelines.
• We will continue to involve the community in the recovery process, including seeking to understand varying comfort levels and abilities to embrace changes to physical distancing and activities.
