City Council Approved COVID-19 Testing Jeopardized By Violations
Irvine resident Robin Gurien submitted a letter to City Attorney Jeff Melching today to address violations of the Brown Act, Article I, Section 3 of the California Constitution, and the City of Irvine Municipal Code “which may jeopardize the finality of action taken by Irvine City Council in its May 12, 2020 meeting” regarding COVID-19 testing.

Additionally concerning, US Health Fairs, which the City of Irvine wants to contract with, is already significantly behind with providing the test results for their current client, the City of Carson. Their website states “we have fallen behind on calling thousands of people personally with their results.”

May 20, 2020 at 4:07 pmGreat letter! I remember this meeting. Council seemed confused about the whole process. And Shea was more concerned about receiving money for these services from THE RESIDENTS. COVID-19 testing is free to ALL…insurance companies pick up all costs and if someone is NOT insured, it is still free. So I didn’t understand what they were offering….and neither did they apparently. Seems like it was thrown together at the last minute. Great job on Robin’s part for calling them out on this and putting this well written, well documented, and research of facts together and submitting it. Keep us posted!!!
