Business Category: e.g. Dentist, Restaurant, Hairstyleist, etc. City your business is located in:

How many employees or independent workers (including

the business owner) did you have on March 1, 2020?

What percentage of those employees and independent workers have been laid off or furloughed. Best guess is fine. 100% means

business is not operating.

What percentage of those employees and independent workers have had their hours reduced?

Best guess is fine, use 100% if they have been laid off or furloughed.

Without additional customer revenue or additional support (e.g. state or federal grants/loans), how many more weeks

can you stay in business? Best guess is fine; "52" weeks means you are not operating in the red.

I tried to apply for the EID Loan but the SBA website isn't accepting applications at this me. This is very very unfortunate.

I am a tourist attraction. I drive business to our city. I need to survive this. I have applied for numerous Grants. I haven't heard anything. I also need direction on when the phases begin. WE NEED clarity. I do not want to open too soon, due to I am a large venue. I need to make sure it is very clear when it is safe to do so.

I have applied for grants through different organiza ons. WE have started a fundraiser and are asking for dona ons. I applied for an rec'd the PPP. I WANT TO AND NEED TO apply for the EIDL but SBA isn't taking any applica ons. I will furlough my staff if not open by June 15th. I have kept them on since March 13th-the day we closed, but I can no longer do this.

It will take a full year or more to recover. I rely on daily foot traffic. Rentals and retail purchases. Depending on the restrictions and the public fear of large venues, it may take longer than a year.

1. Informa on on the forgiveness por on of the PPP. We have no guidelines on this. 2. More access to grants for small business. 3. What are the short and long term goals of reopening our economy, both nationally, statewide, and regionally. Financial planning. Inventory reduction and purchasing for the future. We expect a full recovery for our business in five years.

11 When can our specific type of business reopen (library)? Unknown Unknown

1 We are offering virtual mentoring services.

What help is out there? Is there more loans or grants? Can we get rent and utilities li ed? I need loans that I can also use for credit card debt for buying inventory that i have now been sitting on for over 5 weeks. I know I can't be the only one dealing with this.

I only have the PPP I am apply for a grant though Saif. I cut my budget did layoffs which broke my heart. I worked with my landlords to re I took the PPP funds after we are open but I fear that is going to leave me worse off. I am paying my team to not work. we have to spend the money in 8 weeks, what happens when it is time to open and I spent though this money when I don't need it but my staff does. We are trying to figure out how to be safely open. but for now we are doing curbside.

I am hopeful that by Mid February I will be stable.. In Ashland The local economy is shot. The main revenue for the town is the Shakespeare plays and the collage and both are closed. I would hope that holiday sales can help save us, if we can make it that long. I have a second business under a different LLC in Eugene Oregon and I think that store will recover by winter.

Weekly analysis of Covid cases in our county and in the state. And # of deaths in each. Just because people have the virus, statistics are showing it's not nearly as deadly as we 1st thought and thus brings into question whether it's justified to keep businesses closed any longer. If death rates prove no deadlier than regular flu season, there is NO justification for closures or restrictions any longer. And they should be immediately lifted. They MUST look county by county with more rural populations. One size response does not fit all cities for restricitons

It's impossible to plan, with the State taking restrictive measures. Most likely we will decide on our own to move forward with regular business, as we see fit. We have every right to make our own decisions for the good of our own business given the condition of Oregon's minimal # of cases.

Impossible to plan because of state restrictions. And that's the worst scenario for businesses, we cannot make a realistic plan without it potentially being changed beyond our control

1 Projections/schedule on when can open, restrictions liftedDevo ng all resources to online channels Helping town build summer tourism in hopes we will be able to operate

yes - 1) when can open 2) when # of tourists & shoppers will return to normal levels 3) When economy will be good enough for people to spend money hopefully by end of next year 2021

Can you point to key industries that would be most important to focus on first?Looking forward, what might you suggest be helpful as we pivot toward long-term recovery efforts? Are there any other challenges or consideration you'd like to share?

Not understanding the question

Clear communica on. Additional funding for non profits in the form of grants--we can't take on any more loans

Health & Safety Tourism

More information and clarity from the government. More funding for small business. Forgiveness of loans for small business.

The PPP loan forgiveness, in its current form, will not work for us, as the employees we laid off are making more money on unemployment than they made while they worked for us. We also are closed, and have no work for anyone. So it is completely infeasible that we can have them rehired within eight weeks of receiving the loan. One of our owners, my husband Robert, applied for unemployment five weeks ago, and has not been approved in FIVE WEEKS, because of glitches in the unemployment system. My unemployment checks are not covering our bills, and we are having to put many things on credit. Our city is offering no forgiveness on utilities or other payments, so even though they are delaying the payments, we will s ll have make the payments at a later date, when we have zero income. We are not far from bankruptcy, after being in business 26 years, and we see no way out of our economic distress. And large corporations and businesses are getting bailed out, or getting SBA money.

Restaurants and bars

All health-oriented businesses

I do not think healthy individuals should be require to be socially isolated. Protect the sick and weak, allow the rest of us to keep society engaged and activated.

Restaurants and small business under 9 staff, In a lot of our small towns most of us have less than 6 staff. Hair stylist, massage therapist and famers.

I think all business that want to be open need to be given free masks to give to their customers. I think cities need to find a way to support small businesses and in turn small business need to support their workers. We are going to have to find ways to build support to our hospitals so they have the infrastructure to support us if we have a set back, which it seems like we might. If we can suspended all rent, from the top down and our utilities we can pull though this, but having to pay rent while no income is coming in is very unrealis c. there has to be away to pay farmers for food and get that food to people in need. there are many people like me who own a business and because of that we don't qualify for food stamps because they look at what the business brings in vs. our profits or what we pay ourselves.

I am 7 months in to a new business. The List of challenges is high. But the bottom line is since we still have large expenses and a build up of debt we need money that we can allocate to those items. Employees don't really want to come back because they are making more on unemployment and that feels hard. Grants and support are needed. 8 weeks of payroll isn't really support we are not open to customers. it is just small business taking over the governments job of paying unemployment. It doesn't feel great.

Beyond obvious emergency services, The State should not be in the business of selecting which businesses they think are important and which are not. I don't see any authority in the State Constitution for this kind of decision making or action. That should be the Chambers main question at this point.

Unless death rates exceed normal death rates of seasonal flu or other natural death rates that could measurably be deemed a state emergency (imminent threat of large scale death) the state should lift all restrictions within 30 days. Then businesses should be innocent until found guilty of causing widespread transmission of the Covid, and if unique situations arise, the health department can take an action

Initial response was I think appropriate as we were all being told millions would die. We know now this is not the case. Studies are showing a large percentage of the population that has been exposed to the virus either shows no symptoms or very mild symptoms and now the death rate is being recognized as less than 1%. The state lacks the constitutional authority to continue to do otherwise. I find it interesting your survey does not even start with that premise. The survey assumption is that the State may continue to behave with this mistaken authority over all business and private lives. The Chambers of Commerce throughout the state should get back to advocating for business and resist authoritarianism by the State over private business. The vulnerable (pre-existing health conditions) should have free will to conduct their lives, either continuing to shelter in place, but the well should be immediately released to go back to life as normal.

tourism and travel related all the features that bring people to Oregon - parks, wineries, outdoor recreation, the arts Keep doing work to reduce wildfire long term risks

Thank you to our local bank, Peoples Bank of Commerce, for being on the ball and getting us the PPP Loan. Otherwise all employees would be gone. Seems to have been a difficult/unfair process for many small (actually small, not $100 million small) businesses, but not us and we are grateful.

When will we be able to open the Cafe an allow sea ng? We'll reopen for take away 5/15 but can't make the numbers work being open 3 days a week for takeaway. We need guidance and the customers need to be informed that on date X Restaurants can reopen with these guidelines. We also need communication from the state to our employees who have files claims as to when they can expect to get checks. I completely understand the system is overloaded. but with little communication, people are assuming the worst. We will be reopening on 5/15 so we can spend the 75% of the PPP money within the 8 weeks

In Ashland the Shakespeare Fest. is a very big thing, we are downtown and until they start up again (so far they are saying early September) it's going to be very difficult. In Ashland businesses like myself do well in the Summer but need those profits to hold you over through the Winter months. I'm fearful many of my fellow store owners will not be able to bank enough money this summer to make it through until next march (2021) when the Festival's new season starts again.

1 None noneNo. Felt no impact

1 Timeline for reopening Working on our Ecommerce site, planning events, producing new productsWe don't anticipate a full recovery this year because the Oregon Shakespeare Festival is closed all summer. Maybe in 2021.

1Status of unemployment insurance payments to applicants Guidelines on social distancing by size of organization for the next 12 months Planning 2020 production season for Fall 2020 Sep-20

1 Rent abatement Organizing summer events No idea, depends on rent abatement and whether tourists return.

When will things open again and in what order? What types of businesses will be safe to open first? What types will need more care and planning before they can open? Will schools be able to reopen? None

There is no way to know with certainty. We hope folks from the cities will want to move to a less congested and more rural area like we have in Southern Oregon, but we just don't know what the future holds in that regard.

1 We just need to open the state back up. The numbers do not justify the lockdown. We are ready to go as soon as they remove the restrictions.

It will take at least 2 years from today if all the restric ons were li ed. We estimate that for every week shut down, it will take a moth at full activity to offset the losses.

Date to li Stay at Home Deferral of next minimum wage increase Restric ons on reopening during various stages. Inability to plan is our #1 major problem. Very concerned at the disconnect of PPP vs lifting of Stay at Home. I will exhaust PPP funds by June 12 when I really need them after we reopen. Without cash after Stay at Home, we may not survive. Currently working with our franchisor to build reopening plans and marketing campaigns.

Timelines will be initial 90 days after Stay at Home is lifted, then resume normal opera ons. Opening at perhaps 50% of capacity, then 75% and finally back to full capacity but until we know timelines of Stay at Home and the Governors Phases, planning is extremely difficult. Very concerned our recovery will be slow and gradual and that it will take at LEAST a year to get back to February 2020 levels.

PERMISSION to open. My state professional association is also my insurer and they are requiring me to follow local rules. The Oregon Board of Massage Therapy is also requiring that I follow my local rules during this challenging time. My address is in Cannon Beach, so I follow Cannon Beach rules even though I also work in Seaside and Manzanita and some mes in Central Oregon, too. My professional license requires that I am insured, obviously. If I cannot be insured because I’m following local rules, and I offer massages anywhere â€" even if it’s not in Cannon Beach â €" then I am in viola on and could lose my license. (As a side note, my coaching and celebrant practice is fairly new and is not significantly affected at this time by COVID-19. However, I am not able to perform funerals either.)

Meeting with a business coach to figure out how I'm going to present myself when this is over. I'm also having to research and buy more materials to ensure that I can properly sanitize my office, etc. whenever I open.

I am a personal 1:1 service provider. It will take me at least one year to recover, depending on when/if I have permission to reopen. I'll have to spread out appointments which will reduce the number of people I will be able to see, and for a period of time I will not be accepting tourists/visitors to the area so that's going to continue to profoundly affect my income.

1 We are currently making changes to our operational plans and cleaning practices. We are hoping by August but really Summer 20211

1Information on what measures that we can take for a safe opening according to the circumstances.

Planning and scheduling of increased separation of employees in the office. Office layout stager work times. Preparing operating expenses to operate through fall and Winter due to loss of income during high season 2020.

Not able to unless and until Government restrictions are lifted. Due to the closure. Possible Summer 2021 for recovery.

That's difficult, the ones that can run in a situation where social distancing is easy. I feel the people who were making minimum wage are fine (until the end of the July). Frankly they are making MORE money due tot he addi onal $600/wk from the federal program. The faster we can get some normalcy in place without making foolish steps like teeth cleaning. My friend is a den st and we were talking about all the "flying gunk" during a teeth cleaning. I was slated for a knee replacement right when this all hit. I can't imagine how our hospital can be making any money with no non-essential surgeries happening. Am thankful you are opening that up, we all need more details.

Balanace and allowing parts of the State that are doing be er to open faster. The flip side is say that California is not doing well, we are right at the California boarder and if Ashland is "full open for business" will folks migrate from California to enjoy a weekend in Ashland (same hold true for people coming down from Portland IF Portland is not doing as well as more remote parts of the State).

-

An acceptance of change. Small and local business supports in the form of money to sustain business, payroll assistance, loan forgiveness. Consulting.

Please do not attempt to change Ashland into a year-round tourist draw. Work towards sustainability. In other words: a plan to work with what we have versus bringing in more and more from the outside.

Tourism. We rely heavily on visitors for our local economy.Rent assistance for businesses in Ashland. Looking at rent costs in a standard economy vs. tourist economy and helping bridge the difference.

Thank you for reaching out with this survey. We love our little City of Ashland and our beautiful State of Oregon and will work hard to rebuild our business and support our community. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to help make Oregon a fun destination for families. We love helping with events. Thank you, Jane Almquist

Restaurants & hospitalityTes ng for COVID-19 Regional/geographic guidance

Tourism Legalize the ability to get out of rental agreements, due to the pandemic. Nope

We are a tourist town, and we have many businesses that cater to them; restaurants, hotels, bed and breakfasts, theaters, wineries, etc. There needs to be a plan to open these crucial businesses so that we can continue to attract visitors to our town.

Help struggling small businesses that depend on close contact or large crowds to figure out a new paradigm for serving their customers.

I agree that we need to take science and facts into account when doing any planning for how we move forward. I think we really need to focus on providing better science education, so that people can understand exponential growth, basic biology and other medical technology that might make it easier for them to understand the facts better. It might also help them to respect experts and folks with better understanding rather than falling for misinformation and media spin. Maybe better critical thinking skills need to be taught as well.

Open the state and stop screwing around. Opening the state would be a good start.

Restaurants and personal services. People wont feel comfortable and confident initially and need to be able to gain comfort by being out and about and seeing they wont become ill.

Rescind CAT and postpone minimum wage steps. With lower revenue coming out of Stay at Home, I simply wont have cash to cover the next minimum wage increase and will have to reduce hours or not bring people back.

We are boutique fitness, a discretionary income based business. Until people get back to work, catch up their finances, gain a little confidence, they are going to be reluctant initiating memberships with our studios.

Testing infrastructure and healthcare first and then industries that are sustainable and reduce carbon emissions Basic infrastructure projects that employ people and improve the community Also telecommunications infrastructure to support increased virtual business Helping all businesses pivot to a lower carbon footprint.

Landlords are still charging the same rents even though we can’t operate. This is a ludicrous situation.

Any Small business Reduce rent

All areas of the Real estate market.Continuing to provide information and updated status's on each market to help determine the long term forcast for each industry. not at this time.

I think people will self police and the economy will open more organically. I don't think opening by industry is the only way to go. Someone in my industry may feel comfortable opening and some may not. As a bodyworker, I personally would most likely volunteer to not open right away until I am confident that it is safe to do so or I can do it in a safe manner. However, I have colleagues in the same industry who are chomping at the bit to open. I would be willing to sit back and see what happens with the curve for a period of time.

If the government would quit giving money to big corporations. Small business, the self employed, and mom and pop operations are the backbone of this country and depend on the Chambers of Commerce. All of the programs currently in place seem to be being abused and are an onerous process of application for a one man show. Focus on what people need day to day and build from there.

I wouldn't suggest using any promotions that are "post COVID" oriented, that's for sure. Hope that doesn't sound cynical but we are not out of the woods yet.

Availability of cleaning and disinfecting products .Switch emphasis on shutting down society and economy to establishing long term and enforceable rules for socail safety.

Concern about City Regulations that lead to indeterminate restrictions that are not based on science and objective standards.

Working on online order system Working on ways to social distant employees and customers Have reopening plan in place Next summer

1 I'm not sure.Close monitoring of spending. "New normal" business plan adjustments in order to be open safely. We don't want to close, but we need the summer tourism in order to keep going.

We are following the Governor's mandate. We will follow her timeline before opening back up for more than just take-out. We can't have specific timelines because the future is uncertain. It may take more than a year to fully recover, probably longer.

1 Need guidelines on when we can openWe are still doing good boxes have a system to fill and leave at the back door. But sent able to help more with clients for their needs. Spend all interaction on the phone with them We are Hoping 3 months after we can open our doors

I'm not sure there's anything any agency can do to help my business. The virus has severely impacted my business, but cannot be controlled and recovery will depend on what path it takes.

I am considering advertising online sales (I have a website), but need some help to accomplish that feat. I am not a braggart and have trouble talking up my products. Sampling is what sells my product to new customers, but that is not going to be allowed so I don't know if I'll be able to secure new sales. Also, I'm unsure if I should apply to the CARES program since I have funds in the bank at this time. That may never happen. Only time will tell.

1Information on reopenings. It's difficult to market when your clients are out of work and you cannot meet with them in person at local restaurants and coffee shops

Extra educational work in my field, assisting other small businesses through buying their products and promoting them, keeping in contact virtually with current and prospective clients

It depends on the public, the rules regarding travel limitations, etc. I expect a modest recovery by fall and a fuller recovery by next spring

I just need to know when it is legal for me to operate. I wondered if I could open along with the other non emergency medical workers. I feel confident I can safely operate with proper sanitation, education, and screening of my clients who I see one on one. More information about antibody testing might be helpful. Answers to questions like: Would it help to get tested before I reopen? If I have the antibody does that bring assurance that I won't inadvertently be able to contract the virus from one of my clients who may be A-symptomatic?

I am just keeping in touch with my clients and checking in with them so that I don't lose them. I can use the money from the PPP to the rent on my office space.

I have no idea when to expect full recovery. It all depends on what I am allowed to do. I have lost some momentum in my growing business as I couldn't afford to keep advertising, and some of my clients who manage their pain through Bowenwork therapy, may seek out traditional medical interventions (pain medication, back/shoulder surgeries, physical therapy, etc.) if they can't see me. It may take time to get my momentum back and build back up my clientele.

We are a NON-PROFIT Theatre. To continue to stay open, we need to have funds incoming to pay the basics, i.e. power, water, phone, etc. We also need to have money to pay for the props, costumes, and advertising that is needed to put on a production and support the community.

No real plan except to hope that grants appear to help non-profits and try to hold events in the future when we can safely do so. Not doing and no timeline on a full recovery. At a minimum, next year.

Grant information, because I canâ €™t afford to take a loan out. At this point I’ve put my mortgage on hold until July 1, and I’m desperate to pay my mortgage.

I would like to be able to do a takeout and delivery, but the City of Dallas has restricted my business, to know customers coming to my business. My business is it a residential neighborhood. I’m trying to figure out how to stay afloat.. All of my Catering’s have canceled or postponed until July at this point and they will probably cancel or postpone too.

I can only go with what the state allows me to do. I’m waiting for the green light to open, but all of my business is based on gatherings of 30 people or more. I can only go with what the state allows me to do. I’m waiting for the girl to re-open, but all of my business is based on gatherings of 30 people or more.

An plan for reentry that improves specifics for regions, sub-regions within counties, and size of gathering considerations. My business is highly dependent on gatherings.

Linking into the Chamber of Commerce, Springfield Area and Eugene Area to identify of opportunity to support regional efforts.

Size of gatherings is a key for my business; expect some opening for 10-25 (I hope 25) within the next 4 weeks. Full recovery with adaptive spikes, by September 2020.

Restaurants/Hospitality

Hotel and hospitality Testing for everyone who wants it

Social distancing for small restaurants need to allow park to put in picnic tables so small restaurants can do to go orders and customers can have space and distance and a place to eat or relax parking requirements so businesses can use their parking lots more efficiently

Tourism Agriculture Food Service Medical Services Retail

How to use the PPP loan so that it becomes forgivable. I've heard it won't be possible for small businesses like restaurants because it must be spent in 8 weeks.

No all industries need to get back to normalI really don't know. I know we are going to have limits in our store and clean everything be more proactive from now on . This has changed things forever We are a non profit so relieved on donations so Hopi g this doesn't hurt us in the future

Coffee shops where I sell to wholesale customers, and Clatskanie and Seaside farmers' markets where I receive most of my retail sales. Just keep me updated, please.

I am in the "high-risk" category of dying from this virus should I become infected and it concerns me that so many people are following guidelines to keep others as safe as possible. Apparently, people need to be TOLD what is acceptable because "suggestions" don't seem to get the message across.

Obviously essentials as we are now, but then those supports such as computer repair, clothing, and household goods. I of course want to see travel coming back as soon as possible as a large part of our economy depends upon it

Testing testing and more testing as the single best way to have DATA to make intelligent decisions.

The media is often not our friend. Headlines are written to hype and not reassure. We need to do a better job of showing how much of the population is FINE and not sick. I think the economic devastation is far worse than the virus. It will give rise to bankruptcy and an increase in domestic violence, abuse and neglect of children, suicide and mental health crises, and a weakening of ourselves as a nation.

Capital to restart the restaurant

Help from government, not to wait in line for a long period. Reward the working employees that saved money to unemployment with 600 & a week. Or put all employees back to work and give them the unemployment money. Same as number 4

Any business that can safely operate one on one with minimal risk of spreading potential virus. They are all key to the business owner. I hate to see motels and vacation rentals bringing in people from other more affected areas when our number of cases has been very low.

I suppose more rigorous, widespread testing, and the ability to track and isolate infection if we have an outbreak.

This might not be a challenge so much as a frustration, that pot stores and liquor stores are still open, while businesses like mine are shut down.

Coos Bay

Resturants Independent owner/operators

The anxiousness of employees has been the hardest. They want to work but aren't sure if it's safe with all the media and social comments. Feels like we are hostage to fear and that it is being fed to keep it going. Don't get me wrong I think people need to do what is in their conscience but it is so confusing they don't even know. It's very hard for some workers to know what is right to do.

Support of the small business owners.Relaxation of some rules. Allow people to opening businesses and get out and about, while maintaining safe distancing. no

Possible home deliveries.Due to the fact that this is so contagious, I am unable to answer that question. The shut down is about keeping people healthy and COVID-19 free.

I have applied for early Social Security, because I have no other income at this time. I did apply for a grant, but have not received any information back. The challenges are trying to keep your business afloat with no income coming in. I don’t know what else to say!

Healthcare is like the canary in the coalmine... if they can open non-Covid business as usual, other industry should follow suite relatively rapidly.

1. Direct assistance to Businesses during the transition: a "turn-key" resource kit of sample policy statements, and other "generic"/fill in the blank resources businesses can rapidly adapt for use during the transi on period. 2. Activate interstate commerce "SWAT teams" to consider scenarios for commerce beyond each states borders to identify/remove barriers to broader geographic commerce/recovery. 3. Activate "think tank" to glean learnings and infuse those learnings into initiatives that would make our state more resilient and adaptable in crisis. e.g., did we find gaps in supply-chain for key sectors that could be addressed by innovation, business recruitment/expansion? e.g., impacts and opportunity to accelerate technology enabled communication, worker training, policies for work productivity that span all sectors, etc. Consider the power of a narrative and tone of voice to support recovery - whatever the plan is.

We need more help for microbusiness, small businesses where just the owner(s) and maybe a few staff work. All funding is geared towards employers and employees right now, but microbusiness is struggling so hard. We have leases to pay, utilities, we have to be able to feed ourselves and pay our home costs... Right now a lot is deferred, but where will that money come from if some of us have to wait months to open?Work won't go back to being as busy at it was before this, and many of us won't be able to pay several months of back rent/utilities very quickly.

Just trying to keep ourselves positive. Running a service based industry I can't offer my clients anything other than reaching out to check on them and assuring them I will see them as soon as I am allowed.

That is hard to decide when I'm not sure when I can open. Right now it looks like mid June, but many of my clients are elderly, and I will have to decrease my appointment times to allow extra space between clients. I would assume if June 15 is the date, full recovery would be September

1 The eidl web site crashes & does not offer the application for downloading Ppp November hopefully

1 Clear information on timing or specific criteria for removing stay at home order.

Planning further staffing reduc ons. Considering applying for addi onal loans. Beginning to acquire sufficient PPE to enable care of entire patient population. 12-18 months

We have been forced to shut down. The only support has been the stimulus checks. I want to spend the $$ on my house hold and family bills. I haven’t received any funding or help for my business!!! But am not hearing any dates of possible reopening. Why should I have to take out a loan and potentially harm my business just because I was forced to shit down? I NEED unemployment. I NEED forgiven loans and financial help. No one responds or emails back. There’s no way to get ahold of anyone who can help. I don’t know what the answer is but this is horrible.

I’ve applied for a grant to cover 1 months worth of business exspenses. Unemployment that has not even processed my application applied 5 weeks ago. And the disaster loan 4 weeks ago with no approval or response.

Within May to return to work, hopefully, and by the end of the year to somewhat recover financially but I would then have new debt acquired by not working for months.

1reduction of lottery funds revenue, gas tax, extension of time in meeting certain state deadlines such as construction, deq reporting, plan submittal.

All employees are back to work in a safe fashion, video meetings when possible, wanting to contract projects asap. 18 months.

1WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN ADEQUATE INFORMATION FROM OUR AGENCIES, BOTH STATE & LOCAL.

WE ARE TRYING TO MAINTAIN BUSINESS, WITHIN OUR GUIDELINES, TO BEST EQUIP OUR EMPLOYEES WITH SAFETY GUIDELINES IN PLACE.

AT THE RATE WE ARE IN, WE DON'T ANTICIPATE A FULL RECOVERY UNTIL MARCH OF NEXT YEAR

It seems like if you are a very small business, under 10 employees its extremely difficult to get assistance. I have a question regarding the PUE (that is not on their website) and getting someone on the phone is next to impossible. Also, Every time I call to the check on the EIDL Advance I have had different answers to my questions and who knows about the actual loan part...no word and different answers. Again, nobody knows anything... in the meantime, no assistance and the bills keep coming. Not sure how much longer so many of small businesses can last. Ways you can help is gathering information from these surveys and posting answers/updates on various social media outlets. People on a State level might have a better chance at getting through. We just want time lines, updates, not a different store every time you call or wait on hold for several hours to get hung up on.

We are focusing on placing our product on various retail platforms and updating our own website. There is about a 70 percent chance at this point we will have to claim bankruptcy in the next few months unless a miracle happens. We paid what we could of our commercial space April rent, but now May rent is due and our store has been closed since March 17th due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have lost well over $20,000 and that's a lot for a small business. Pretty scary stuff. I want to mention that we were grateful to receive a $3K grant from The City of Hillsboro which we used towards March bills since we felt the impact very early on in March.

First thing is to get income with a closed retail store. We have online, but most people are not buying non-essential items at the moment. We are updating it as fast as we can. Also, we are on top of every grant/loan etc... but we just wait for assistance and spend hours a day getting nowhere on the phone trying to get assistance or questions asked.

1 indication of when and how we will be able to re-open retailHow to interact with customers. How to market and reach our consumers. How to deal with staffing and their issues and concerns. How to prep the workplace.

This is the million dollar question I don't have an answer for. Partial recovery hopefully to begin in June but full recovery is unknown.

1WHo knows, the bar and restaurant industry may forever be changed by this pandemic.

1when will we have tests enough so that people (my technicians) can be periodically tested so that can share that status with potential customers. 1 year - I have no idea what the definition of full recovery is.

1

Please REOPEN and let us make our own safety measures. I filed for EIDLE and never heard back. It's a devastating loss and I absolutely won't be staying closed much longer. 3 of my stylists are very part time working 2-3 days a week. MASKS WORK! This is MAJOR GOVERNMENT OVER REACH.

We've already taken steps to keep our staff and customers safe. And we don't need a lot of government help on that. Daily disinfecting, masks hand washing, distancing, limited people inside the business. Gloves, hand sanitizer. Back to normal, before COVED 19? A year?

1 Reopen datesSince our industry is service if I as a stylist don’t work I make no money so as soon as we are allowed to service our clients again we can recover.

Most clients are on a 4-6 weeks cycle so being closed for almost 6 weeks I have lost that revenue and it cannot be regained. The only way to recover is to get back behind the chair so I can make a living. I won’t be able to make a full recovery because of the wages lost during closure.

1What are the specific signs policy makers are looking at for reopening? We never seem to get the same story twice. Our office is engaged through the Keizer Chamber of Commerce and the Oregon Dental Association. Unsure.

Honestly, the biggest thing is helping small businesses stay afloat until we are able to return to work, and continued assistance until the work is stable. It will take some time, but if the help we were promised doesn't become available, many of us will have to let go if our dreams and close our doors. We are supposed to be in this country and city that are so supportive of our small businesses, and right now our government is failing us.

Galleries, exhibition spaces & digital services by appointment & online.Not sure. Our situation is complicated because we rely on galleries which rely on people being present.

We are looking alternate ways to offer our services. It will take 4-5 months to do that. So covering my payroll & overhead are crucial.

COVID-19 Mitigation efforts should shift from restricting the entire population and businesses to targeted protection of the medically fragile / at risk population / individuals.

We have been burning through our cash reserves expecting both PPP loan and a relaxation of stay at home order. More extensive furloughs are now our only option.

Importance is irrelevant. I do hair. Obviously it’s not as important as medical or food. But that my income and who is to say it’s not just as important to focus on first also.

Our government shut us down. They need to be part of the recovery, financially and help the public get back on their feet. I hate hearing that they haven’t received any pay cuts or shutdowns but is the little people have to just deal with our mandated shutdowns. It just all sucks.

no steady income for municipalities. no

HEALTH CARE, DOCTORS, HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS, RESTAURANTS, BARS

SAFETY STANDARDS INCREASED, FOCUS ON GETTING PROPER TESTING TO RURAL AREAS TO PROTECT THE SMALLER COMMUNITIES AS WELL AS THE LARGER AREAS.

NO, I THINK YOU ARE WELL AWARE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT US, AS SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, ARE STRUGGLING WITH TO KEEP OUR DOORS OPEN AND EMPLOYEES WORKING. THEY ARE MY FOCUS. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO DEPEND ON THEIR JOBS FOR THEIR LIVLIHOOD TO SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES.

I think we need to look at each area individually and in areas where they have not been effected as much start opening them back up and getting people back to work.Short term subsidized program when PPP/EDIL grants are used up. I’m afraid our economy is not going to recover as fast as we hope. This is devastating

Fear is a killer when dealing with the public. Please consider an ad campaign to inform Oregon citizens of guidelines & requirements to get back on track; ie; needed travel, shopping, appointments, etc

Getting the SBA PPP, EIDL and Unemployment the help and answers they need so people can get the assistance they desperately need. The system is a nightmare right now.

Educating the public! Our biggest fear is that once businesses open the economic fallout and fear of catching COVID-19 will be felt for many many months and people will not come out or spend money. Therefore, the businesses will continue to feel the impact and the end results will be devastating to the economy. Not at this time, I think I stated everything above. Thank you!

health care and preventative measures including testing for covic-19 assuring testing can occur to a much higher level

restaurants, bars and other minimum wage employersNot giving extra unemployment checks to people - we can't get people to come back to work since they are making more on unemployemnt than at work.

1) food supply chain 2) schools, daycare 3) retail, hospitality

Make sure basic services such as Metro (MAX, buses, streetcar) the post office, etc. BEFORE we start bailing out "for profit" organizations

Restaurant, Dr's offices and salons.Avoid large gatherings for a while. At least 3-6 months. Maybe longer. Encourage outdoor activities. No. We have too many already.

Self employed and independent contractors. 5 weeks is too long to get around to finally have an unemployment application for us. Nobody can survive on $0 income for that long and no end in site. I’m sorry we are not all in this together..

The government leaders need to Listen to individual industries before making opinions about how they operate.. In a hair salon setting safety and sanitation/ disinfecting is a common practice daily. So before labeling non essential talk to industry leaders to find out how we can operate while keeping a safe environment for our clients

I’m hoping that this pandemic has prepared us for the future so nothing like this will happen economically again . That the state will put forth a better effort in getting Oregonian the money faster

Not really. All businesses feed families.

I don't believe contact tracing is going to work. Based on the studies of COVID-19 infections, which include those who are asymptomatic, there will quickly be too many contacts to trace. Would rather see a large scale education campaign.

Hospitals are good with PPE which is important. Smaller clinics have been left to fend for themselves a er we gave our PPE to the hospitals. A li le help would be nice. Also, dentists can be a very helpful resource for testing. We understand sterile procedure and infection control. We can ramp up quickly.

All businesses need to be allowed to re-open. Government needs to announce encouraging and scientific statistics (this is NOT as bad as was predicted, not as bad as the flue, being open will NOT increase your chances of dying from it, isolating will weaken your immune system, etc.) so that people are not afraid to go to work, to have people in their homes, and visit businesses.

We plan to ask our receptionist to return to work very soon after allowing her to work from home for several weeks. We are increasing our planned maintenance appointments which we put on hold when the first executive order was announced.

Within a few months, provided the restrictions are lifted and no new restrictions are put into place.

1 Operating on a thread. Day to Day Never1 Let businesses in low impacted areas open Unemployment insurance

Our business is dependent on other industries. Knowing when these businesses can re-open has some impact on if/when they will continue using our services again. Examples include restaurants and hotels. I would likely expand or take on additional help from the local community if I received a grant or loan.

I expect a full recovery to happen when restrictions are lifted so businesses feel comfortable inves ng in their marke ng efforts. I also have individuals as clients who work in healthcare. Their working hours and therefore income have been cut, which makes me uneasy that they will continue to invest in my services.

My business is seasonal, and March-June are the busiest months. If the shutdown persists into summer or fall, my business will likely be impacted...a roadmap for the future months as soon as is available is needed to plan and manage cashflow. Investing in website updates, expansion of online catalog, 1 yr of sustainable production planning

My business is seeing its largest demand ever. I am simply trying to keep up, without taking on long term debt.

Because the business is out of my my home, I find that my business doesn't qualify for the Lake Oswego city's assistance program, although otherwise my business would qualify. I am going to see if my business & I qualify for the state of Oregon's PUA. My business is totally dependent on the SAFE lifting of work and travel restrictions.

I'm looking at new ways of safely operating my business since the Covid19 will probably be around for quite a while. I am studying such things as how can I conduct in-person interviews with prospective human clients and their pets, both in their homes (for pet sitting)and in mine (the location my business's of family style dog boarding & dog day care operations).

Not at this time. There's too much uncertainty to be able to do so. I am watching both the health/medical and the economic situation in our state. IF the environment does not return to a relatively safe one, my business will probably have to close permanently.

1

We need to open up the State of Oregon so some of our otherwise worthy customers can apply for and obtain financing to restructure their own personal finances and put them in a better position financially to weather this storm.

Unsure. We are communicating frequently with our customer base to provide guidance on forebearance and other financial tools available for them to weather this storm. Unsure

1Guidelines to follow for best safety practices to utilize as we begin reopen our businesses.

Pending order have been either cancelled (if possible), or pushed out (for orders we were not allowed to cancel) through the end of the year. Terms for payment of goods have been negotiated and spread out as much as possible. We have been working on ge ng our e-commerce up and running, ETA is 5/5/20. We have been taking phone orders for either curbside pickup, delivery or mail during the shutdown. Discounting product for some cash flow.

Yes, we are doing what we can with promotions that can be done safely through social media and e-commerce. We are waiting for direction from the state before we open our doors. We have done what we can by cancelling or postponing vendor orders and asking for terms on payment, trying to spread out our financial liabilities as much as possible. We have a plan in place through the end of the year but I don't expect a full financial recovery until mid to late next year, if we can last that long.

1Con nued reduced hours. Current staff of 1. Cash or Credit Card only 1-2 years

1

My revenue is already down significantly. Once we resume canceling people for non payment, I would imagine I will lose a lot more revenue as no one will be able to make several months of back insurance payments all at once. I also own rentals, so this will also happen to landlords. The major hurt will be down the road a couple more months, and we need more help securing PPP. I am trying hard not to lay anyone off, but I can't keep going like this on the long term. Landlords are going to need help, or they will have to sell properties or lose them. Housing is already short for renters.

We are trying to continue operating as normal with systems in place to bring in new business. I think it will come back, but not until things open up again. No one is buying cars, boats, trailers right now. Houses are not selling. These products are how we keep in business. I don't foresee a full recovery for a year.

Salons, restaurants, sole proprietorships, family owned businesses who have essentially lost their income.

Remove the additional $600.00 a week unemployment benefit right away. People are getting MUCH MORE money on unemployment than from working in this region. A 20% increase would have made sense. An EXTRA $600.00 a week is ridiculous. Those people are getting more money than the employers who are trying to keep them at work. They're getting a lot more money than loyal, hardworking employees who stay, willing to see this time through to keep a good job.

Medical and Food related. Get Back to Work. Adjust As Needed for Common Curteousy Baby Steps. Move Forward

NOGETTING RID OF THE SALE TAXES THAT OREGON HAS BEEN SNEAKING INTO BUSINESSES. ALSO QUIT TAXING FUEL AT SUCH A HIGH RATE. NO

Hospitality

Don't over react. Contain areas of infec on. Keep the areas uninfected healthy. Let the uninfected areas keep producing while the infected areas are quaran ned. We should have closed the state borders instead of waiting until we had to close people in. We could have done trucking transfers at the borders to keep business running.

1) employees collecting more on unemployment than when they were employed does not encourage the right ac on. 2) monetary losses due to retraining of lost employees 3) finding employees willing to work

Let Health Care industry open!

Lodging; restaurants; healthcare

Union County has a very low number of Covid cases. With the recent serology studies that have been produced (indicating that large numbers have had the virus without hospitals being overrun) I see no reason why our county cannot be opened up again with no restrictions.

Personally, my family needs healthcare that is being delayed or impinged upon because of the lockdown orders. Lifting these orders (allowing "non-essential" medical visits/treatments) is essen al for the health and safety of my family. Central planning is hur ng people more than it is helping. Stop now. Watch (or read) Dr. John Iaonnidis from Stanford to gain a proper perspective on the negative outcomes the lockdown is having or will have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwPqmLoZA4s

Hair salons guidance from the governor I fill completely confident i can run a clean safe effort clients and stylists

Cultural institutions (museums, zoo, gardens) and non-profits serving at risk communities. Business owners who have paid themselves or taken profits from their business in past years should be prepared to reinvest that money in their business if needed; organizations that are not focused on profit and retaining earnings need more help to bridge the gap.

Public health option for all Oregonians - small businesses need employees who are healthy and able to go to the doctor for testing.

Support local and smaller independent businesses that are making things and providing basic services to the community first, before helping chains, franchises, and high earning professional services. Perhaps cap owner/shareholder compensation at 1-3 times average employee salary or average Oregonian wage earner's salary if providing financial assistance. Highly compensated leaders and business owners should be first to sacrifice their income to benefit employees/business, if receiving public help to fund their business.

I think that an across-the-board approach will be necessary, with some areas of the state opening some types of businesses before other areas of the state, based on health , safety and economic viability.

Long-term recovery will rest on public health preventative and mitigative health procedures for the population. Testing, vaccines, and other long-term public health monitoring. Small business have been hit very hard since many don't have expansive assets on which to draw.

Restaurants, hair salons, gyms, food processors, etc. Please open up public parks. People understand the need to be socially distant.

Open up cautiously with guidance regarding social distancing, wearing of masks where appropriate, etc. Nobody wants to get sick so most will abide by these rules in my mind. People not wearing masks anymore is the exception, not the rule. People get it. Give them the choice to shop, buy, conduct business, etc. at their own risk.

I think the population is a bit anxious and emotions are sometimes a bit fragile. Some people are stressed and you see it in the way that they communicate with others. We are all learning a new way of behaving, mixing with others, shopping in the correct aisle direction, etc. Let's give each other a little grace as we learn the new normal.

Naturally my focus is on the retail industry as a whole. If stores cannot stay open then vendors have no one to sell their goods to and sales reps have no commissions. On line is all well and good, but local businesses provide a sense of community.

With lack of cash flow rent is the main obstacle, concessions must be here. You cannot go back to the same rent. Business will return slowly, rents need to follow suit. Rents should return to original amounts in stages. Ge ng people tested so we have a way to monitor what is actually happening in specific communi es and ci es. Start opening businesses in stages, using specific requirements for safety. Set basic guidelines for public safety.

Business wise cash flow is the main concern specifically in regards to rent. You can control payroll and merchandise flow but rent is fixed and expecting businesses to pay the same as when business was at a peak is unrealistic.

Entertainment and Tourism. Any and all outside activities. The ability to encourage laid off employees by reducing benefits and sunsetting UI payments.

Restaurants need to get back open. Tourism needs to open back up in a safe manner. I don't see why these things can't open and practice social distancing like grocery stores. Limit number in a store at once, mark the floors. Open State Parks for camping. A lot of this is mindset. If we can get people out and doing some sense of normal, it will help a lot.

We need to get moving! Reserve the right to scale back if we have a spike, but my gosh, we have not been hit that hard in our county or even State.

There are businesses like mine who will see the domino effect long after people are back to work. These are the good months for a lot of businesses. It will be Fall and Winter when things are going to be hard. We will need help if we can't get PPP now etc.

We would like to know a more specific plan for reopening, as our income due to lack of funds from training classes has significantly hurt the future of this association. It has also significantly impacted our member companies.

We are actively engaged with our agency partners to find a way to navigate the response to wildfires with the current restrictions in place, and what that means to our member companies who provide much needed resources.

We have been able to maintain social distancing in our office space and done some work from our homes, but with wildfire season fast approaching and expectation for a active season, it is imperative that our member companies find a way to navigate the ability to hire, train and respond to the call for resources as in the PNW we make up 60% of all resources available for response.

1 When I can open and less restrictionsPPP and trying to keep employees I and customers informed And trying to spend as little money as we can

I don’t believe if I can’t fully open asap I will not sustain 2020 It’s a flu !

As a small coffee shop in a small town, we cannot reopen under the restrictions still in place due to social distancing as we cannot comply, nor would we generate enough daily revenue to pay our bills if we were to adjust in a way to comply.

We have applied for a county grant, of which we received $2500 which has been helpful towards outstanding bills. We have also applied for a PPP which we are waiting on. What a lot of people don't realize, is that by closing your doors, does not mean closing expenses for the time being. Expenses still continue to roll in monthly, such as insurance on the business, as well as workman's comp, rent, credit card machine leases, credit card machine fees, utilities, employee taxes, etc. It is daunting, really.

I don't expect a seemingly full recovery until Phase 3, if then. My biggest concern besides the obvious, is how can a restaurant or salon, that receives a PPP loan and has 8 weeks to meet the forgivable status of 75% payroll, 25% utilities, actually meet this requirement in 8 weeks if they are unable to even function feebly within that time. I do think that the Federal Governments 8 week (upon receipt) window is absolutely unrealistic, if I am understanding it correctly.

1I need a specific meline so I can gauge about when I will be able to open back up. So far, "we'll see in 2 weeks" is NOT cutting it! I've applied for everything I can apply for & trying to reschedule my clients for later in the year or next year.

I've tried to categorize a timeline from the beginning of the lockdown. When we can go back to work without restrictions I can START to recover, but this is going to take into next year and longer hours of working to build back what I've lost in revenue.

1 We are opening back up on May 1st.Yes. Maybe we will be 100% by August. It is really anyone's guess.

1Using more e-commerce revenue streams and non contact appointments for customers to have entire store to themselves.

Governor Brown has issued a new release/conference announcing that health care clinics (including dentists) will be allowed to resume non-urgent/emergent care starting May 1, 2020, IF they can meet criteria to be set out by the Oregon Health Authority. The OHA has not yet released these criteria, and we are told they may be released as late as May 1, 2020. This has created tremendous strain because the public has heard we can re-open May 1, and are expectingt to be able to receive care, but we have no idea whether we can meet the criteria (not having seen them). We may have NO advance notice to determine if/how/when we can re-open.

Trying to get PPP funding. Trying to anticipate what supplies/materials we MAY need to reopen. Still being available to provide emergency care to patients.

Some time after May 1, 2020. This depends on if/when we are able to reopen, and if/when business returns to normal levels. Due to the lost revenue production for the past 6 weeks, our revenue stream will probably not fully recover for at least 2 years, even assuming new business quickly returns to pre-COVID-19 levels (which seems unlikely).

1SAIF also set aside a reimbursement fund for purchase of PPE, job modification, work-from-home, and other safety protection expenses. We have been reimbursed.

Timber has not been shut down. We are working closely with Weyco for scheduling of trucks/and or equipment. They had indicated they would shut the 4 dump trucks down later in May. Brian asked if we could do a 1 week shut down to take advantage of the PPP loan for continuing to pay wages. The drivers were engaged in work at the shop-helping with maintenance of equipment, sanding and painting trailers, and getting eq. ready for summer season.

Full? Not until the need for lumber picks up with new homebuilding. But tornados and hurricanes are doing their part in the need for rebuilding.

If we're going to stay in the event industry,. We need to be providing equipment to hospitals and other operations. We have tried to get on the list registering with the federal government for FEMA contracts, we have also gotten on the list with the county agencies and spoken to all of our personal contacts at hospitals and pharmacies. however the equipment being used appears to all be coming in from out of state. talking about abstract ideas of reopening this state do not help us,. We need concrete information about what we can do in the current time to support ourselves and the community.

We have been just working on cleaning our equipment I'm trying to make sure that our office is in the best shape possible to receive customers when they come back.

Right now we are planning on what are you opening in 2022 until then we expect this to stay the way it is.

Yes we are being asked to respond to wildfires without a clearcut plan of expectation for feeding, housing and providing PPE for our firefighters which is outside the normal scope of our contracts/agreements and will place additional financial hardship with no recourse for recovery for them.

Small towns not portland It’s a flu

Pape is fine for my employees but it leaves nothing for income loss and it’s no use trying to get any other I tried but all webside just crash and boom moneys gone It’s a flu

Funds are very few The government just broke us what I’ve been able to save for the last 3 years is going t9 be gone It’s a flu get over it already it been long enough to break most businesses

Getting consumers back to work normal lifestyles

I think we need to start by reopening state parks, as there is little risk and it encourages "baby steps" for society to make healthy advances towards getting out in their communities again.

I think that given an optimal season approaching of summer, when a lot of things can be done outside, we should encourage that as much as possible. By extending time outside and minimizing time inside, as we bridge a way into normalcy, we may as a society have an opportunity to build up immunities gently. I can see churches being held outside, restaurant seating, etc. allowing a watching of the data, a transition to normalcy, and hopefully of building up of immunities for those that are lower risk.

Yes, as I referred to above, the 8 week window upon receipt of a PPP loan in order to comply for forgiveness, is absolutely a challenge and unrealis- tic when that 8 week window doesn't corroborate with the current times. One can't reopen, unless one can break even by generating enough revenue with the given restrictions.

Large event venues, restaurants, hair stylists/barber shops, retail businesses

First of all, let's have the government put a moratorium on taxes, loans and mortgage/rent so people can at least breathe. Get the state opened up without restrictions. Start with a timeline and go from there. Get more help in the unemployment dept.

The people should be able to make their own decisions. If they want to work, they should be allowed to and if they want to stay home that's ok too but the government needs to stop coddling everyone. They're creating spoiled little brats instead of letting us make our mistakes, fall, pick ourselves back up and make good decisions based on what we've learned.

In my life, it is my industry. As a whole, however, the entire economy needs to get going.Industries where social distancing is natural because of large square footage vs customer density.

Hospitality Saturated testing and PPE availability We are worried that some of our business clients will not make it through this pandemic.

As many and as quickly as possible to return the entire economy to normal. For my business, getting guidance from the OHA as soon as possible.Parts and equipment repair. To supply various industries Drug Industry by bringing RX and OTC meds back from out-of-country manufacture. I made aspirin in an Organic Chemistry class while in high school. It's not difficult. Food produc on and sales. Wholesale and Retail Infrastructure-buildings, roads and bridges Retail For here, keep the fight for LNG going forward.

Restaurants and BarsTax credits and something for those of us who didn't get any federal assistance.

Community banks completely dropped the ball with the PPP funding. Never let these clowns oversee such a large project.

I think the bigger problem is rebuilding faith in human interaction. All businesses or industries that primarily do business with groups of people in person such as movie theaters or restaurants. Once people become okay being around one another again the rest should fall into place for us,. But as long as the fear is there we have no hope.

For the most impacted businesses like our own we want to work. Finding a way to put us to work through government contracts would save us. Rather than using out of state contracts it would be best if we could prioritize using local resources first. Hospitals should be getting food from local restaurants,. Tents should be set up by local event companies. Our communities already have all amenities needed there's no need to bring in outside help.

Well everyone is so eager to claim mission accomplished and reopen,. For many of us we're going to be far from the end. Don't forget us lights off when they can't reopen until there is human interaction. Just about the full entertainment industry is going to be left behind so please just don't forget us.

We need to know when we can reopen and what guidelines we'll need to follow. Can we operate with more than 10 children on a given day? Also, any information about local loans or grants would be helpful.

We're planning to reopen when we can. Once we can, we can collect tuition and be sustainable for paying our teachers.

It may take a year, but it will ultimately depend on when we can reopen. We're hoping to be able to reopen in the fall, if not even being able to offer summer camps in August.

Financial projections & staffing plans. We are trying to determine if the PPP loan funds should be used or returned. Program details were unclear when we applied and we may not be able to meet the requirements for forgiveness. A loan is not desirable at this stage of our business life. Many of our business clients will most likely be in the same boat. If they do not have work coming in to sustain the business what good is a loan for wages? recovery is doubtful

We are waiting for the governing bodies to confidently release a date for our business to open. We then will decide when to open from there.

1I was well stocked when this started but now I am getting close to needing gloves I have not been able to order them or to find them for sale.

I am trying to find ways to support families for the summer with quality programs that will address their regular needs as swell as looking to find ways to support the healing from the trauma of this. One program that I am working on has to do with art and expression. But we are just starting the planning. I wish that money was not a concern because teachers who are doing the work should not have to worry about resources. Especially when they are so resourceful â ¤ï¸Â

Have been waiting for awhile now due to a certifier not returning a er medical leave two years ago. 2)Support for certified capacity of 16 per day being allowed within the the splitting into two groups of 8 children for the two certified levels with a teacher consistently with each group while following COVID-19 safety prac ces. 3) Masks if they are required to reopen for all teachers for mul ple days/weeks 4)Not requiring 15 hours training for re certification if classes are not possible with the resource and referral at Mt Hood annex/campus by re certification time (ours is in November).

I am writing a safe practices for our preschool to include the above support for a splitting of the 16 per day into smaller groups of 8 in detail for my assigned certifier (when I have one to communicate with) and my preschool families. Rearranging of toys and materials for two levels, and a sanitizing plan for COVID-19 for certifier and families to view. Re writing the guildlines for healthy child practices at our preschool to include additional time for any fevers to 48 hours or up to quarantine up to two weeks depending on circumstances. My very real need and hope is for a complete return on June 1st.

Get the unemployment software replaced. I understand there was $80 million set aside for that and it never happened. Shameful.

I participated in the governors round table discussion with early childhood folks and my biggest concern is being able to get back to operating with my current teachers and as many preschool kids as we are able. We have a capacity of 16 and have a total of 20 families (part and full time). If we are allowed to come back with just 10 kids, I would ask that an exception be made for providers own children and that they not be counted in the total of 10 preschoolers.

restaurant Suggestions on how to operate effectively in a social distancing atmosphere

Ones that can do the distancing safely and can control the environment. Out door restaurants would be good.

Better communication from the government. Other states have way better communication from the governor and mayors. Our state sucks on transparency and what is going on. The more info people have the better they feel.

Childcare! Anything that could happen outdoors: camps, classes, recreation, eating/drinking, music.

Not knowing when we can be operational again makes things difficult. It's hard to collect tuition from families (which is our source of revenue) without knowing when we can offer school to be open. We'll need guidelines so we can plan for maximum safety once we do reopen.

start opening low risk / contact businesses right away. ie landscaping & construction. careful, planned stages of reopening cities & states with continuing low cases & deaths need to start getting back to work soon

Optometrists and den sts!!!! second is hair salons

No response on EIDL loan I filed April 3, 2020. The governor is bankrupting Oregon by offering $600/week unemployment bonus to more than 333,770 claimants -- many of whom would not qualify for $600/week as their basic benefit amount. The state will spend nearly $168,220,080 per WEEK a er the taxes are withheld. kgw.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/covid-19-coronavirus-real-time-updates-oregon-sw-washington-april-23/283-25a8cb1a-9ba9-40bf-943e-a6aae7875857

Non-Essential business' that are able to continue social distancing or minimal interactions.As we are learning more about this virus, it would be helpful to be given updates and facts that we can internalize and provide to our customers.

I am concerned for the well-being of essential workers who have carried a heavy load through this time. I am hoping that there will be a way to relieve them as most of them may be working on autopilot to just get through y’all of their concerns while facing potential life-changing illness. I don’t have answers but I am concerned that if things get worse again, and they are not supported we won’t have the workforce that we need to protect, serve, and care for those who need them the most.

Hmmm 🧠Maybe Work on the founda on of essen al workers and go from there. Also maybe a campaign that celebrates the heroism of all facets. Those who worked those who were at home those who served those who were shielded. There have been some benefits to the staying at home. Maybe employers will be able to have a lot more flexibility for people who are able to efficiently and productively do homework commuting ðŸ™'. Because the air quality seems so much better!

Child care is the most important industry for employees to return to work. We all will begin to close indefinitely without revenue from working parents.

To continue to shelter in place for all of May, and to allow all child cares to open to their full capaci es on June 1st. In early/mid May begin by opening all outdoor spaces ( state arks, trails etc) with operating plans for multiple portable potties so their is safety in mind as everyone eases into just being outdoors in larger numbers. Followed by opening all enclosed spaces for gyms, restaurants,salons, malls ( if any are still standing)etc. with space between tables, cleaning practices supplied for gym members to sanitize after equipment use etc. All businesses have a wri en plan in wri ng for customers to see and follow. Elderly care practices need a big revamping, but allowing visitors needs to happen if no covid-19 is positive in the facility. And sanitation practices are posted and supported by upper management as well no exceptions from now on ( permanent change to protect our most vulnerable).

Emotional confidence - even once we are given the ok to return to our new normal. Families will be fearful - for their children, for the grand parents. A clear statement from knowing individuals with comforting facts so everyone can feel they can trust the information to return to work, to be social again. This is a tall order, but some folks will be more trus ng, while others need more facts. Thank you for inquiring! I am a child care provider for nearly 30 years, and am very passionate about children, their families, and all the big feelings happening all over the world.

We need concrete dates that we can share with families and staff who attend/work at our early learning community regarding safety, available testing, transmission rates, when we can anticipate returning to standard operating license, etc. We also need significant financial support in order to survive this crisis.

We are staying apprised of information from the Early Learning Division, Oregon Health Authority, Childcare Resource & Referral of Multnomah County, the Multnomah County EOC School Liaison, and Governor Brown. We are also actively engaged with local agencies (such as Family Forward) and other Early Learning Providers in the area who are advocating for supports for the childcare industry (in terms of business/financial supports as well as staffing supports, material resources, and clarification on updated guidelines/regulations).

We are operating under an “Emergency Child Care†license per order 20-19 from Governor Brown. We are prioritizing care for essential worker families per the mandate from Brown and we are incrementally moving in the direction of reopening to more families who are non-essential as space allows, based upon operating under current Emergency License. Barriers right now are child:teacher ratios, classroom group sizes, families waiting on news from the state before making decisions about returning to care, being able to adequately staff our schools, and provisions of PPE and cleaning/disinfecting supplies for operations. We hope to begin operating under a standard license as soon we are directed to by the Early Learning Division, and anticipate that we will not be fully enrolled again until September at the earliest based upon the number of families having to withdraw because of job loss, siblings at home because of PPS closure, and other Covid related factors.

What FEMA resources of refinancing options do you have available for women and minorities with non conforming loans to be able to access funds with equity of properties?

Any yet. I've been consumed by looking to refinancing to continue operating my businesses and to provide for my family.

Refinancing properties, I can continue operating normally right away, in three sites with 10 children and two teachers, per site. I have two current Emergency Sites, licensed and a third one that I can activate if I were refinanced.

Early learning programs and childcare centers need significant government support. If families are relying on us in order to go back to their own jobs, we, first, need to be fully prepared to provide high quality, SAFE care and early learning opportunities in an environment that is well stocked with safety/cleaning provisions and with additional safety and financial supports for our teachers who are frontline workers right now with very little public acknowledgement. We are following all guidelines and regulations from the Early Learning Division and Oregon Health Authority, but without a guarantee that testing for asymptomatic people is available and that the protocols outlined for us will, in fact, keep folks safe, we will continue to struggle with both family enrollment and the reinstatement of our teaching staff.

We need concrete steps and dates outlined by the governor that we can use as a framework for reopening and that we can refer to as a resource for families and staff. Specifically, guidelines re: how long our changed regulations re: required temperature checks, illness/exclusion requirements, additional cleaning/sanitizing/disinfecting measures, changed drop off/pick up routines with families (ie: limiting adults in the building), would last beyond being returned to our “typical†childcare license would help us to prepare and would provide peace of mind for us, our staff, and the children and families in our care.

NOTE: IT WON’T ALL FIT - THIS IS WHAT I DID (IN BLUE): Per our advocacy work, we would like to share this letter that was written by Family Forward and addressed to Governor Brown, Miriam Calderon, Alyssa Chatterjee, Lyndsy Capps, Dan Haun, Rosa Klein, state legislators the Early Learning Division and state legislators: “...Even before COVID-19, the child care sector has been a very low-margin industry. We experience high costs, due to essential health and safety requirements, and cannot truly charge parents what it costs for us to operate.Unlike our public education system, child care is largely a private-pay system, meaning parents pay the vast majority of the cost through tuition for the care and education their children receive. Unfortunately, as providers we are also subsidizing the lack of robust public investment in child care with our very low wages.†More here: https://www.familyforwardaction.org/sign-the-letter-demand-financial-support-for-child-care/?

Childcare and refinancing real state to lower mortgages interest payments ASAP. That would be extremely helpful and we could continue operating without any interruptions. Minorities usually do not have access to conventional loans. Options are VERY limited and banks are not familiarized with them. SBA will play a vital role. If there are especial loans for WOMEN IN BUSINESS, please advise ASAP, as we have collateral to be offered.

With COVID-19, our ratios have changed to two providers per 10 children. (Teacher plus floater covering breaks, lunches, cleaning, etc) Funding for additional staff members is pivotal. Testing staff members and children that have been attending Emergency sites, before non essential working families return, will help to avoid possible legal suits in the future from families that are returning. I don't know if a legal waiver would be enough. If we show proof that attending children & Staff members do not have COVID19, and we have the sites venting for 3 days (after disinfecting) before opening, families will be more at ease. They will have to sign a disclaimer, though, that they have not been exposed(to their best of their knowledge) to COVID19. The City of Portland may need to allow to us, providers, to be able to build a small outdoor porch/area, where we could place a portable sink (to be provided by Health Dept. or CCRR or ELD) to have children washing their hands before entering.

Per Health Dept. instructions, it is challenging to keep toddlers with masks on. Infants cannot have masks on due to risk of suffoca on. Preschoolers work very well. Masks, gloves, PPE, hand sanitizer, need to be supplied and guaranteed. It's been challenging to acquire those. We should have them provided through the State. Yes, DHS have some payments retained from clients already served, last year. They should release those funds that are extremely needed.

What FEMA resources for working capital do you have? What FEMA resources for refinancing do you have available for women in businesses and minorities with non conforming loans through SBA to be able to access funding with equity or collateral provided, if required by SBA/STATE/FEDERAL GOVERNMENT/DHS? Childcare is a largely private tuition system, paid by parents. Can the federal government step up? We need to be supported for the increased operating costs and if possible, staff members being compensated with HAZARD PAY and with the lost of tuition, in addition to be supported for health benefits (maybe by the Market place?). Utilities, rent and additional costs to operate per Health Department/CDC guidelines to be in compliance.

Trying to refinance to lower payments on the sites that are currently working as Emergency Sites for essen al workers. I've been invited to participate in Family Forward Action to request prioritization for a robust immediate investment in our industry, since our work is essential to this crisis to support Oregon's recovery and Oregonian families.

With immediate FEMA Refinancing of properties, at low financing rates, we can continue working and supporting Oregonian families without interruptions. We can even provide adequate infrastructure for additional 10 children/per class. Support on working capital, to pay our staff members with preferential rates at least, could help.

I was hopeful that end of April, everything would return to normal. Or more things could. The current state of the west coast being in limbo for over a month with no end in sight it complete bs.

We need all states, regional and local areas to look harder at re-opening businesses. Our ability to make the product has not been greatly affected. Selling and distributing boots to first responders has been greatly affected through the closing of dealers, retail shoe shops and such across the country has had a profound downward trend in sales. Limi ng us to on-line selling only. Fire and rescue, linemen, construction and other safety boot wearers are people still working and need their boots. Bad weather, down powerlines and such don't stop because of a pandemic.

We closed our office and showroom to the public. Operations have continued in manufacturing with major changes in social distancing, restricted movement in the factory, and major cleaning efforts have been put in place to protect our crew. We are currently working on procedures and policies to re-open our showroom to the public on an appointment only basis.

We believe we could operate direct to public selling safely immediately if the state would allow it. We believe we can operate more safely than the grocery stores, hardware stores, Walmart's etc. because we are small and adapt much quicker than the above examples that have been allowed to continue business.

1Better info from banks, credit unions, better response to loan inquiries. Full opening for bars and restaurants now. Less employees for smaller payroll. As soon as we can all open fully.

What other financial opportunities are available and how to access that information. Please provide small business more detailed information on how, when and where in a more timely fashion. Submitted application to PPP, continue to seek custom home building clients.

Our business is running currently, but with one less full time employee. We are not taking on remodeling projects where homes are occupied. In the event a second wave of the virus happens and/or things become worse, we must plan that residential construction may close.

1 No assistance is needed at this time. None, as were an essential business. We expect a full recovery and business to get better by August 2020.

1)Childcare for sure to con nue providing services to working families. 2)Real State refinancing to lower payments. 3)Farm industry to continue providing food for all of us!

With COVID19, our ratios have changed to two providers per 10 children (teacher plus floater covering additional disinfecting, breaks, lunches staggered, etc). Funding for additional staff members is pivotal in addition to loss of income incurred. Testing staff & children that have been attending Emergency sites, before non essential working families return. Not sure if a legal waiver would be enough to avoid possible legal suits.If proof of not COVID19 with Staff & children, parents more at ease to return. A disclaimer template signed by families, ensuring they were not exposed to COVID19. City of Portland may need to allow to providers, to be able to build a porch area, where we could place a portable sink (to be provided by Health Dept/CCRR/ELD) to have children and parents washing hands before entering sites. PPE, sanitizers, etc must be provided by State.

Per Health Dept's/CDC's guidelines, having toddlers with masks on is VERY challenging. Infants CANNOT have masks due to risk of suffoca on. Masks on works with PRESCHOOLERS. REITERATE: PPE, sanitizers, etc must be provided by State.

Small business, restaurants and anything affected by tourism dollars.Open the rural communities not showing cases of COVID 19. We can open with the same stages set forth for the state.

Small business 20 or less employees

My landlord is giving me reduced rent at this time but expects it all paid back once we are opera ng or once we get a loan I’m fully concerned about the debt I didn’t work this hard my hole life to know I may loose it’s all So many people are in this boat it’s a hard pill to swallow

Putting everything back to business Putting people back to work I still cannot get unemployment funds

Art, restaurants, bars

Open up!! Not one death in Columbia county You took away our small business for nothing People out here went to stores daily Had parties and nothing!

Because people were scared to death caused by the media and the state of Oregon, I will lose my business. You overacted and now it is an agenda to keep the state closed. Peoples lives have been ruined and inhumanly treated. People in pain because they can’t have surgery. Cancer patients not getting treatments ontime. No screenings what so ever. Columbia county needs to open now!

Construc on and health care are most important. Next the tourist areas need to be allowed to open up.

Just keep pushing Gov Brown to open things up. This is complete BS to nuke small business so badly. She's just handing work and jobs to Wall street and corporations.

Businesses don’t recover from something like this overnight it has a lasting affect for months and months Get our business reopened Yes stop the new unfair taxes on business we are already bleeding we just can’t take anymoreGoverment Travel Corportate Travel Leisure Travel

Local restaurants, travel â€" any of our previous advertisersTo help your business recover â€" and ours as well â€" please advertise in The Spotlight.

Advertising is usually a lagging indicator of business success/health so we have concerns about the speed of recovery.

Almost all small businesses could re-open immediately if handled on a local basis, by adapting customer and employee safety protocols. Less affected rural coun es should open businesses first. Problematic businesses like restaurants and hair salons may need stricter guidelines and reduced occupancy and/or increased appointment/reservation usage.

Open public parks, recreation areas, etc. continue social distancing efforts, promote masks, gloves etc for shopping or indoor ac vi es. Those that could be most affected by the virus should continue to shelter in place and take extra precautions. The younger and less affected population should be able to follow basic safety needs and be allowed to work and have less restrictions. Focus keeping the economy moving. Rural Oregon counties do not need to be treated the same as major metro areas.

Restaurant

Schools, small business support, social services to assist those in need, health care support and preparedness for the next wave or natural disaster.

I would encourage grocery stores, banks, etc to leave Plexiglas barriers in place indefinitely. Allocate monies and resources to be better prepared for the next wave or natural disaster. Allow businesses to reopen with parameters in place that are clear and with consequences in place. Demand physical distancing, wearing of masks, sanitizer and/or washing stations accessible. Limit guests/customers to avoid crowding as the state begins to reopen. Relax these parameters when a vaccine becomes available.

Hoping after this learning curve, government has learned how to be better prepared on how to facilitate better support to small business in a more timely fashion.

Production plants, then restaurants, then beautician shops. Support local community to best of ability and let the public know you're open. Not at this time.

Timelines for all re-opening points, 50%, 75%, 100% etc. What does the roadmap to a full re-opening look like? What will happen if infection rates spike and what is the point where government steps in a shuts businesses down again. If we all know what the line in the sand is, it becomes something we can all monitor and then take additional steps in our businesses to help modify our behaviors and business protocols hopefully before it becomes a problem. It also give the public something to keep their eyes on so that maybe their habits and behaviors stay in line. Shifting back to in house beer consumption. Canceling all in house beer & trivia events through June.

That's a very tough question. On the Oregon Coast July & August are the most important months for businesses. If we reopen our businesses too early and then have to shut down or people become afraid and stay at home it will decimate almost all the local businesses in my town. If we hold on and can make it to the point where we can reopen with confidence (not for the sake of businesses making a few $$ in May or June) then the chances for a full recovery within 2 to 3 years is much higher.

1More testing in the county, more certainty that the numbers reported are accurate. A target date for relaxing group sizes and restrictions on worship.

We are working on contingency plans for various scenarios based on guests about easing gathering size restrictions. We are considering when we may need to use funds from our endowment fund or need to cut back on employee hours.

Yes. We assume there will be a gradual easing (and tightening) of gathering size restrictions, and we are working on plans that can be flexible and easily adapted to varying lengths of time. We are fortunate to still have people sending in their offerings, and have not been seriously impacted yet. However, we know that the longer this goes, the less we will be able to rely on our members to give, as their available resources decline.

1

the truth: As much accurate informa on as possible Accurate Covid 19 death numbers Availability of tes ng & why isn't there more in Oregon. Scientific surveys to asses how easily it is spread and a true infection and mortality rate. Separate deaths from the flu vs Covid 19.

Staying abreast of information and in particular CDC and industry recommendations for safe practices. Wai ng for informa on on meline for reopening and mandated condi ons. Evaluation of Cares Act & Disaster Relief application for relief and strategy to remain economically viable

We won't have full recovery until large group gatherings (250 plus) can take place again and organizations and individuals are comfortable attending. Also groups will need to recover financially to afford such events and have an adequate budget for food and beverage. Spending may be reduce for quite a while for events that take place. Our operating costs may also be increased certainly in the beginning and maybe indefinitely. We will operate as best as possible as business is phased back in with whatever limita ons and condi ons are in place. Full recovery?? Maybe 1 year or 2 or longer. Really impossible to know.

1

An actual plan moving forward that is not too restrictive. Originally we closed to allow medical / health to catch up and have adequate preparation. We accomplished flattening of the curve, time to get the economy opened up ASAP in an orderly fashion. Everyone is now developing their own plan from city to state to county. They are all proceeding with the best of intentions. NONE of them are infectious disease experts generally speaking, most have watched the TV and news and formed their OPINION of what should happen. This is very disjointed. This will likely result in excess restrictions and regulations. Those excess restrictions and regulations will likely not help control the spread of anything. They will likely dampen any type of local recovery. Trying to figure out when PHASE I of opening will begin. I would guess that a full recovery will take at least 14 months to 2 years.

1 Just waiting for business to open up Hopefully July

1

How soon can we open with in store service. Without PPP funding it makes no economic sense to open for take out and delivery only because we tried that for a day and didn't even cover the cost of labor.

PPP loan has been approved so we are looking to reopen for take out and delivery only but hopefully more very soon.

We do not expect to fully recover until fall. Because we are a very seasonal business we will have missed our peak summer months and will most likely not have enough reserves to last over the winter.

Oregon is different from other states and we need to treat it as such. 8 states never shut down because the virus' effect on their state was not the same as Cali and NY. Gov Brown needs to stand on her own two feet and not follow California's Govenor around like his minion and do the same things they are doing. We have had very low impact on the entire state and especially the Oregon Coast.

If the state would give a green light I am sure homeowners would start calling again.

1Let me get back to work. I am a 1 person salon, with MAJOR sanitary precautions in place. I am CERTAINLY safer than any grocery store. I have done everything I can. You just need to let me get back to work!

That depends on when you allow me to get back to work! It will be AT LEAST 6 months before I can recap my losses.

1A clear plan of how the court system will be restored, and in general all businesses, and the required safe actions needed going forward.

Our goal is to keep our employees working, even if it is at home, and keep paying them. Sustaining their monthly income provides security and hope. no

1 Telemedicine. Scheduling changes. Protocols for safety in office and social distancing.Will not recover if Governor Kate Brown does not actively pursue opening up businesses/economy ASAP.

Healthcare, Dentists, Optical Shops, Outdoors spaces

While we are a capitalist society, the government holds the power to keep it's citizens safe. Putting people at unnecessary risk for profit is what 1st world countries chastise other countries for. I, my family and my fellow citizens deserve better than profit before safety. I am a small business owner and if it ends up where I have to shut my doors permanently over this, well... there are far worse things that could happen. Risk for short term gains are not worth long term consequences. Please, please be very cognizant of the science and where we need to go from here. America will re-open next week, or in the next months, but you cannot recover from death.

Many local business manager are putting a lot of pressure on local politicians to reopen and they are also visiting other small business owners and looking for their support to get opened again too. There is an effort underway to just get the town open, we will be fine. No one died here, we only had 6 cases. Many workers in our community are older (working part time to earn a little extra for what Social Security won't cover) and a lot of locals have underlying health conditions which would put them at risk. It's not just the business owners who have something to lose by staying closed, much of the workforce has a lot to lose if we open prematurely.

Restaurants and hotels need help, but we need limits on capacity until there is a vaccine widely available. More testing is essential. More confidence in the numbers reported is needed,

Hospitality including lodging and full service restaurants. Supply chains for food & beverage and supplies including supplies to comply with mandated opera ng condi ons. small businesses generally

Modify cares act loans to give a longer payback period i.e. 10 years. change forgiveness period to spend the money (8 weeks is too short) and should start when you can reopen at full capacity. Ease standards of 75% used for payroll & return to 75% of before pandenmic payroll by June 30th. Those are not realis c in many cases. Accelerate response to EIDL loan applicants so they can know what happened regarding their applica on and plan accordingly. Focus on protecting the vulnerable in our population. Its not sustainable to shut down the economy like we did. Too much hype in the news and its hard to get reliable information. Models are wildly inaccurate and its likely we self inflicted far reaching economic devastation on many with untold misery and disaster on many levels.

Wall street journal editorials are citing a Stanford study showing 1.8% of the deaths in New York city were of people under 65 with no underlying conditions. 2% of infected people in New York needed to be hospitalized and .5% might die. We need to protect the vulnerable and let the country get back to work. We can't sustain what we are doing. We flattened the curve and are more prepared, so open things back up. People who are vulnerable need to protect themselves as well, to the best of their ability. Since we are shut down with no employees our expenses are minimal. How long can you go without loosing your employee base, so you can restart your business efficiently. Who knows, especially as other jobs open up.

Government Restrictions - these need to be minimal. Otherwise they will choke or restrict the recovery greatly.

Any type of restrictions need to be lifted from businesses as soon as reasonably possible. The Governments will likely decided that they like their new found powers and will want to hold on to them longer then they need to. This will be a challenging economic time to recover from.

Realtors More test so we can open the economy

Health care, dental, hair and nail care, restaurants retail

Sweden never shut down their economy including restaurants and schools and has the same per capita death rate as US. They say that by restricting only at risk populations they will have the rest of the herd develope the resistance to get over the covid-19 pandemic. Basically they are saying that we are all going to get it anyway and sooner is better because then it won't pass around to the at risk populations because the herd will have immunity and will be over it and stop spreading it. They are saying we can't wait for a vaccine because that is 2 years out (minimum) and we will all be broke and destitute by then, that children will suffer in their education, that mental health is just as important as physical health. Certainly food for thought.

Because we have been approved for a PPP loan (but have not yet received the funds) we are now planning on reopening at least for takeout and delivery but it is a risk because we may lose more money (even with PPP loan forgiveness for certain categories of expense) than we would have by staying closed longer. If we don't fully reopen within the 8 week PPP forgiveness period we will need to shut down again and we can basically kiss our business goodbye because we won't last through the winter.

I refer to number 10.... this state has not had the same impact. Open everything back up. If we need to have 1/2 the density in resturants or whatever do something like that (allow I think that isn't even necessary)

Same as 10. We have not had the virus outbreak in our state like other states. Let's reopen and move on. The common FLU killed more people last year in Oregon that COVID has killed this year

Until the state makes some announcement to resume business as usual people feel reluctant to resume their normal activities even if the believe that Oregon has overreacted. We need for customer to start calling again

Hair salons. We are intelligent enough to take all of the precautions necessary to keep everyone safe. We aren't going to be in super great need if you let us get back to work asap.

I just know that people are able to take the steps necessary to keep themselves and their customers safe, if you allow us to get back to work. If need be, set specific guidelines to make it crystal clear to everyone, what if needed.

Springfield is a small community that depends on local business. Each business is important to maintain our community. On that note, our community needs to be able to move and exercise. Opening parks, local and state, is imperative. Second, so many of our community members depend on their employment. Whatever it is, if we can do it safely, it needs to begin again.

Better testing availability.

Because we support adults with IDD in 24-hour settings, most of our employees are essential workers. Access to adequate PPE and disinfectants in a timely manner would be great. We are working with public health, but resources are limited.

We applied for the PPP loan and it has been submitted to the SBA. We are hopeful to receive those funds and are in the process of revamping how we provide some supports that under the typical delivery model are not allowed under the Governors Executive Order. If we can provide and bill for those services again, even partially, it will help curtail some of the losses.

We will not be able to recover from the lost revenue unless we receive PPP AND are able to resume normal business practices in the next 60 days. Our services have to be provided whether we can bill for them or not.

1No idea, our business relies on clients to have stable income so they purchase real estate.

Specific requirements for re-opening that are consistently reinforced within industries. Need firm guidance that takes into consideration small business limitations (i.e., don't require us to hire a "safety team" unless funds are provided to do so.) If something like masks gloves, or hand sanitizer is required, either supply them or provide us a reasonably-priced source for those supplies.

Mostly keeping in touch with employees to determine who is coming back and what positions might need to be filled.

Not yet, because very mixed messages are coming from government, health experts, business groups, etc. That's why a firm, decisive directive needs to come from leaders, taking into consideration that we don't want to be allowed to re-open only to have to close again because it was too early and infections spike. Full recovery? Maybe late summer, early fall.

1 We are fine, thanks to our funding sources. We're here to help others as needed! We are working on bringing new people into shelter.We're looking at a gradual re-entry to working in the office but will likely alter how we work.

1We will be doing major fundraisers when this pandemic lifts and we are able to get back to business as normal

We won't recover from this, our best hope will be that we are able to keep the doors open to help the animals of our community.

We need the federal government to acknowledge Chambers as businesses and the huge role we play in helping support other local businesses and communities without additional funding, and allow us to qualify for federal grants to sustain our work.

We will have lost 30% of our annual revenue due to the cancellation of events. We are not able to recoup those dollars. That will not allow us enough operating costs for the remainder of the 2020 year. We will not be able to recover financially this year.

1 ? Insurance ?

1

A time line for reopening for the general public. Not paying those on unemployment more than they can make at their regular jobs so they have incentive to as least want to work (hasn't been a problem in my business, but I know many others where a lower income employee is actually better off staying home to collect the regular unemployment plus the extra $600 a week, which is absurd and makes no sense; harms all of us small business owners. I'm very lucky that my employees are so loyal and have not decided to do just that. I know other veterinary clinics where this has been a huge problem.

Trying to forecast how soon we can do non-elective surgeries and procedures. Trying to get PPP funding this second wave of funding.

Not categorizing into specific timelines. Taking things one week at a time and hoping that we can go back to working regular hours soon so begin recovery.

1

we need to know a timeline I need to know what our business is going to look like when we can operate fully how is the health department going to help and guide us. How long do we go like this before we lose everything and will the state be there to help us

We’re we’re not in recovery we are in survival we’ve got one employee that helps us as we try to operate at 25 to 30% we are barely making any bills and are receiving zero income at the same time as we’re operating our business we need help

This could take a couple of years for us to swing back from this as anyone knows the restaurant business has a very small margin to begin with. Our hopes are that we do make it all the way through to the end We’ve been in business for 14 years we were in a good business we’re not in debt until COVID-19 hit and now we are $8000 in debt running our business off of our credit card it’s going to take me a couple of years to even re-pay that and that’s if everything goes perfect there’s just isn’t any room for error

1 We are going to need additional grants just to survive, when they let us open. We need to be open. I would say 2 years.

1 Updates on federal funding applications Transitioning to ecommerceWhen customers have the ability to touch items in our shop without fear and risk of infection.

Let the small business open we are the lifeblood of this country and economy. The big stores that are open and have way more traffic and people in them then a small business will survive. We however will not if not let to open our doors and let the business and customers decide where they wish to go where they trust to go. Trust the businesses to do what right for their employees and clients

Restaurants and bars will make people feel a lot better, along with hair salons Just go slow, open up 50%, and check in after a monthI think Oregon has done a fantastic job of distancing and taking it seriously. Now give the public a chance to prove they can take care of themselves and be smart

State infrastructure so that if an event like this happens again, our systems (like the Employment Department) don't once again fail those who are already struggling to survive.

an ongoing and significant focus on supporting local small businesses who may not otherwise recover, as well as support state and federal legislation that disallows big business from reaping the rewards of programs like the SBA-PPP that completely disregarded the very businesses for which it was intended.

food Better state commmunications

Real estate, manufacturing, retail

Either supplementing income that matches what employees were making up to the slowdown or infusing money into businesses so they can hire back employees at the rate they were making and cut the red tape so it will happen quickly instead of waiting on money that may or may not be coming.

Health fields such as clinics and dentist offices, manufacturers and distributors of basic needs products, agriculture, houses of worship.

Determine privacy, enforcement, and liability issues of taking temperatures and requiring customers to comply with regulations (social distancing, mask-wearing, etc.) to better inform business of their rights and responsibilities. This is the overall problem with service animals, where the laws are in place but enforcement is up to a business that doesn't want to make an enemy of a customer. It makes the business choose between the role of customer service vs police officer. If you choose customer service the law falls apart; if enforcement is chosen, your business can fall apart. Therefore the law is, pardon the pun, toothless. Are business owners and employees going to be put in the role of confronting customers because they won't wear a mask? If enforcement is up to each business as the service animal rules have become, then the rules will be worthless.

The extra $600/mo. being given to furloughed workers is causing difficulties for employers. A 40-hour/week employee making minimum wage grosses $1,800 every four weeks. An unemployed person right now receives $2,400 every four weeks on top of their unemployment benefits. How will I find applicants to hire when their income is going to drop by at least 1/3? It's also tough for those who are still working to watch the unemployed person who is staying home receive more money. I'm not against someone getting additional unemployment benefits, but it needs to be commensurate with regional pay and not so much that it's a disincentive to go back to work.

Manufacturing --- like Pacific Stainless Cooperation and discussion -- We need to start working together instead of in-fighting.Goods and services Small gyms/businesses N/A

We feel that at this point we would be able to safely open with smaller class sizes, and begin the process of re integration.

Medical education

Filling remaining spots for the 2020-2021 school year has been difficult. Inquiries have all but stopped since March 13th when things started to shut down.

Supporting our healthcare industries with adequate resources.

Any business who is closed should be allowed to reopen at their will.

Without help, we will be forced to utilize credit, putting our organization in the red and creating a barrier to our ability to do our job. Since our business community looks to and leans on us for ongoing support, resources, information and advocacy this will not only harm our organization but have a ripple effect on businesses throughout the region we serve.

? Help with building rentals

StaytonStop incentivizing employees to stay home a collect unemployment (not a chamber issue, but an important issue that needs to be addressed)

It’s not my place to even assume what would be the best business to open first or the best business to open last. I don’t have complete trust in the guidance of our governor and the state of Oregon but I don’t know what the right answer is

Some sort of stimulus or guaranteed loan or grant for small businesses to get through to the end of this

That would be discrimination. That is what is wrong right now. The government is dictating who can be open and who is closed. It is wrong.

We need to be open for business. The government is killing small business in America. This is wrong.

I cannot believe we are forced to close our business when other businesses are allowed to be open. Our tanning salon uses hospital grade cleaner (always have) and the customer tans in a room by themselves. The government is killing our family business that we have spent 9 years building. Yet, I can go to other open businesses like: coffee stands (not sure how that is essential), fast food (do we not know how to cook), marijuana shops (yup better get high while I'm collecting unemployment), all the home improvement centers, farm stores, etc. etc. etc. I am frustrated and tired of this government overreach and flat out discrimination.

Small business retail, etc Find an antibody, provide funds as promised with timely accurate informationThe economics of having people corralled through a store with arrows and required stops while staff sanitizes behind them is not an effective strategy that can be visibly maintained.

Cannabis businesses are shut out of Federal assistance programs. Fortunately we are able to remain open, though we did reduce our hours. We need to know if assistance is available from the state if we should need it. Otherwise we would have to close in a matter of days.

1We are following the rules as best we can to comply so that we can stay in business. We have found that many people need our services at this time. We have distributed food and $ to needy ones. We are ok at this time.

1

I need to know what services/ discounts we can receive or possible payment plans. I also need some guidelines from the state what we need to do to open. How much PPE we need? What kinds? What other protocols we need to put in place other than basic state board mandated procedures.Time frame so I can make sure we have proper policies in place to keep our staff and clientele safe

I am trying to secure PPE. In contact with salons in other states.I am currently rescheduling clients into May and June.I am trying to make sure we have adequate inventory to account for the delayed shipping times.

I am trying to plan into timelines but it is difficult since products aren't available yet and nothing has been released by the Governor as to when it would be legal

1

A time line that is defined as to when we can open. Having vague information does not help us in determining how to proceed and what to apply for in regard to assistance when you don’t have employees we are independent contractors and PPP doesn’t allow us relief Protocol and education on safety sanitation guidelines when we do open. We as hair stylists are trained in safety sanitation, but CDC guide lines to insure we are protecting ourselves and clients would be helpful PPP items available to protect staff Cleaning and sani zing products available to protect everyone If you can’t get products to sani ze because of hoarding, You can’ not open Protection against lawsuits. We can screen everyone that enters, maintain social distancing between stylists and their clients, adhere to safety sanitation protocol, but can not guarantee non infection. We need to be assured we won’t get sued by an angry client Hotline

I don’t know of any I’d be happy to be on a task force with my chamber in tigard to get us open for business again p

We are brainstorming with one another researching proper protocol and planning on ins tu ng these measures Deep cleaning the salon for a “grand reopening †œ of sorts As far as client retention we are taking an ever growing waiting list of clients who are ready to return . For us, we will be in holiday mode!

1I would like access to grants. I will not have (and have never have had) the cash flow to be able to sustain taking out a loan to have to repay, with interest.

Getting the office prepped with sneeze guards for the front desk, trying to access more masks and sanitization items, figuring out our new procedures for delivering patient care.

We're waiting for directions from our acupuncture organization, who is in contact with OHA, and will follow the governor's direction.

1One staff member quit, one has been out sick for 4 weeks. Business is down 20% and that is a big drop for a break even business. Marketing with our Co Op and National "OPEN" campaign

Im thinking with PPP (if I get it) maybe 3-6 months based on the opening of the state.

1 Beefing up social media presence, website.Uncertain recovery time. We are so dependent on clients calling us for services, cold calls that it is dependent on when they start coming to us again.

1

We need to start opening for business. My company will not survive unless we open up for business in the next two weeks. The Governor should can the CAT tax. I cannot afford to pay it. More financial assistance is going to be needed.

We are marketing our “Work from Home†Furnishings campaign, along with protec ve screens to allow for social distancing in open office environments. We have applied for Oregon’s Workshare program which we will have to implement as soon as our PPP funds run out, and more layoffs will need to take place. We are unable to predict a full recovery.

I would think agriculture, so we have food to eat, and the service industry, restaurants bars, salons, etc... They employ a large percentage of people and are centers of art and entertainment which I hope we now re-understand is vital. Then to the manufacturers of goods.

Focusing on creating local economies. If we can't depend on goods from far away, we have to make sure we can manufacture and transport vital goods within our state. While its important that many pre-existing businesses have the opportunity to re-open, we are presented here with an extraordinary opportunity to invest in our future.

Cannabis businesses are a new, thriving and, now deemed, essential part of life and the economy of Oregon. While, yes we are open and generating revenue, we exist on razor thin margins and a highly onerous federal tax position. It is doubtful that we will get Federal assistance. Without state support, if anything disrupts business, any cannabis retail business could be forced to close down within days.

Landlords and insurance.

Medical dental Limited access but allowing people to use their best judgement How will hair salons stay safe/acquire the appropriate protective gear? And how will we pay for it ?

TigardOpen up all outlying coun es which do not have hospitals with many cases of Covid-19. begin opening up parks and other areas where people can keep 6' distancing or take masks and feel good. Begin opening up All businesses but have them keep 6' distancing and if possible masks. All Grocery stores should require masks. Not all of them do now. the last to open up would be professional sports as it is almost impossible to keep distancing. maybe the a endees should all be required to wear masks at a minimum. Keep retirement homes only open for VERY limited visits by listed relatives and friends and they must wear masks and wash their hands as they enter.

We should continue protecting the vulnerable from now on. Those who need to protect themselves but need to get out from now on should wear masks and try to keep their physical distancing.

Banking,logistics,businesses that cannot operate virtually Debt reliefI am very concerned about those hardest hit. Those that haven't received a stimulus and how are we going to pay back this debt without working 70 hours a week

Health care services. Medical and dental Personal services Fitness maybe, we can do fitness programs without gyms at this me Restaurants for sit down service take out is working for now if the establishment can’t maintain social distancing Must other business that have been running open through this pandemic will figure out their individual plans. They’ll just need to expand their already working models Most of what I’ve already stated

I just want to open my salon it’s really about servicing our clients, our economic survival and contribu on to our community We can’t with our doors closed

Tigard small businesses supporting the small businesses as much as possible

People need to feel safe so they will come out and spend money. Keep telling "good news" not the death toll every day. Staff will be needed but they too need to know they are safe.Unlike a retailer who has cash flow with each transaction, our billings occur over many months (cumulative) and the full impact won't be felt for 3-6 months.

Opening up government offices so that I can deliver and get paid for the products that are sitting in my warehouse that were ordered prior to the pandemic. This situation is adding additional financial stress to my company.

Quit telling people to buy from Amazon! We need to support the local businesses that are the backbone of this state.

The local governments say they want to assist, however, I have been turned down for every grant I have applied for. Having the Oregonian telling people to buy my products from Amazon is very frustrating.

If and when will I receive an EIDL loan? If and when will I receive PUA? Some communication would be very helpful

Lots of Marke ng Lots of Zoom Webinars to network and learn Starting an online store

Will take at least 12 months to build back the business and a 6 months to catch up with bills

We need more information on what exact benchmarks we need to achieve in the fight against COVID in order for it to be safe to reopen. X # of new cases, Y # of tests, Z % increase or drop, and where those variables need to be in order for business to resume (even if at a limited level). If we can track the progress of these kind of statistics then we can make plans accordingly and either shut down entirely for a while or start gearing up to reopen. Even just an unofficial reopening day would help, but I understand that that date might move as things develop.

Mostly taking time to clean and improve our facility so that when we do reopen the place is better than ever. Also planning for bringing our staff back in waves as business picks up again, as well as what protections we can reasonably offer our staff and customers.

We'll use our level of sales to determine how many of our staff can return. We hope to be back to 50% of our previous sales in order to bring everybody back in a limited capacity. It's difficult to make plans any other way since we don't know exactly when we will be able to reopen. It might take years for us to fully recover, if ever.

We are a nonprofit which we don’t qualify for many local grants. We are working hard with less funding. We have to cancel our biggest fund raiser of the year. So funding is critical as we continue to serve our foster families. We have had so switch things around a lot, but are still serving 100% of our families.

We depend on the community. With people out of jobs we thinking donations will be down a lot.

1 unemployment unemployment support 1 year

1 No data. Re-opening the economy is the only answer.

Asking (and not receiving) payment deferrals from; -Bank -Vendors/suppliers -Landlord -Equipment Lease/loan holders

Depends entirely on when Gov opens up businesses to go back to work. At current pace, full recovery is over a year away. Every day we remain 'closed' matters.

1

Open the economy (businesses) back up immediately. The government cannot support the business community. The business community DOES support the government. By shutting down or limiting what business can do, the government is crippling the economy and at the same time denying themselves a revenue source, when government most needs it. Medical supplies and facilities are either now or very soon will be, up to the task of handling those who become ill. Some will become ill, no matter what you do to prevent it. However, a greater harm will be the destruction of the small business community. Increasing our marketing efforts.

Not un l a er the government li s all or nearly all restric ons. The government restrictions are now the stumbling block to recovery.

1When businesses can reopen. Our clients can then reopen and pay for our marketing services.

1What reopening looks like. Peace of mind for our clients on how they can operate safely so they keep us. Marketing efforts for our clients, our business and the local Chambers of Commerce we are part of.

3-5 Years to recover what we have lost. This is assuming we don't continue to lose clients.

I need to get onto the EIDL website. I've been trying to apply since the funding reopened yesterday. The website isn't working properly. I also want to apply for unemployment for myself since I am a sole proprietor and Lincoln County has extended the STR closure through May 31, 2020. We have been without STR guests since 3/24/20.

Looking for grants every day. Turned off most all electric at motel; reduced garbage service to once a month; applied for SNAP (haven't heard back.) Requested 3 month reduction in Spectrum Business services (50% rate reduction) on monthly recurring charges, although if approved that won't go into effect for three months. Trying to find source to refinance mortgage to lower interest rate. Have suspended credit card machine to avoid monthly charges while business is closed. Looking into WOSB certification. Applied for LISC grant. Trying to figure out how I'm going to pay property taxes in November.

No specific timelines at this point. Surviving a day at a time, trying to stay safe and healthy. We have refunded 100% of all deposits to all our guests who cancelled or whom we had to cancel. I can't foresee a full recovery at this point. The 2008 recession took us 8 years to recover. I doubt this pandemic is going away anytime soon.

1 Pivoting my business to online so that if this happens again we will be prepared. 6 months to a year of no interruptions in service

1 I don't know what's available so how can I say what I need - other than CUSTOMERS. I don't know what is considered "recovery planning efforts". The question is very vague. My business may never recover.

1

When are we reopening. We are going too slow ... we need to open NOW! We have over corrected ... time to balance economic consequences with other factors. People die ... let's get real with our strategy. Communicating with booked clients.

Hoping for full recovery by summer 2021. 2020 is a lost year for me. I may make $0 in 2020.

1 We have not changed operations much during this time.1 None None When we can reopen

1 Links to grant giving opportunities or federal financial helpWe are a non profit 501c3 and usually depend upon fundraising efforts to sustain us along with our thrift store (which is currently closed). We have no recovery unless we are allowed to open.

Merely just to be allowed to open our thrift store which generates most of our income.

Restaurants

Keep interest rates low Provide small business loans Update government systems to handle major crisis Stop the poli cal figh ng and just do what is right for the people No bailouts for any major industries

If the government gave 10K to each legitimate small business,unemployment benefits and PPP. Most of us would be fine. There was no need for the stimulus money and all the other BS funding. If you needed more than that then you were a failing business or you're not a small business.

Obviously health and safety industries need to be prioritized. Entertainment venues like ours are pretty far down the line in terms of importance, but we do serve a critical function in giving people stress relief and a feeling of normalcy.

Emphasis on continuing best safety practices until an effective vaccine is widely available.

We need cleaning supplies. We can’t get our hands on many.

food service, personal services, medical, education, grocery, housing

Finding a socially and economically structured balance between personal and community safety/physical isolation and containment of pathogen and free and creative commerce.

OPEN

All businesses are part of a whole. Open the economy. A car missing a re could be driven, but not very effec vely. Neither will the economy recover with all or part of its businesses under shutdown or severe operational restrictions.

Open the economy. NOW !! Get the government out of private business.

TualatinCompanies should focus on a digital first activation strategy. The current pandemic has accelerated users to online (vs. offline)

Health and Wellness, Home Service, Hospitality, Non Profits.Clear and constant communication. Keeping some things digital as we know many who won't be re-acclimating to society right away.

Just because an industry isn't impacted directly, if they serve an industry who has been impacted they will in turn feel a similar impact to their bottom line.

that would be most important to focus WHAT on? Again - vague question

Being a little more specific. Letting the tiny businesses know what assistance is available and how to get help. A single phone call by the Chamber of Commerce asking if my business is still open is NOT assistance. vague. What exactly are you asking about?

Tourism Know the facts and respond accordingly.

We need to lock down nursing homes and people with underlying conditions. Let everyone else get back to work following prescribed social distancing procedures. We have a bunch of models predicting COVID-19 outcomes, but no models predicting the damage we are doing from alternative deaths and economic consequences of shut down. How have we be implementing our current lock down strategy without knowing the long term consequences using models predicting future consequences?

Meeting size restrictions will be very important for houses of worship. We will comply with standard "social distancing" and hygiene recommendations. We already have made plans on how to limit or eliminate changes of germs spreading in how we conduct normal business, such as, no passing of collection plates or worship items, no handshakes or hugs, limiting space between attendees, etc.

Daily and weekly contacts with congregation, including the elderly and those living alone. Several church members are CERT volunteers. We are working closely with city officials and business leaders in our community. Depends on meeting-size restrictions.

1 Time line and process to reopen so we can start gathering again. Only 3 of the employees are regularly in the office, the rest are working from home ASAP

1 Hopefully we will get one of the grants we applied for. Trying to sell things on lineFirst question ?. Pretty hard to predict the second. If we can get an inoculation then things might return to normal after that.

1

We need fast reliable data regarding a realistic date that lodging establishments will be able to re-open for business. Will we be losing our entire summer season? If a second wave of Covid comes in the fall will we lose that season as well? As a small business owner who works on a small commission, will I be able to receive unemployment benefits. I applied almost 4 weeks ago and have not heard from unemployment

We have ordered hospital grade disinfectant that was listed on the CDC website effective against Covid. We are considering spacing out reservations so that there is time in between reservations rather than stacking them. We have posted our recovery plan on our website for current and future guests to see. We do not anticipate full recovery for at least one year.

Continue to support all of our first responders by letting them know how much we appreciate them. N/a

Don't understand the question, but please don't push to open anything that will bring more traffic (and more possible Covid 19 cases) before it is under control. Yachats is a town of mostly over 60 year olds, so it's so important to go slowly opening things back up here. money

My store is small, 600 sq ft. I sell jewelry so people get close to the counter trying it on. My husband and I are over 60 and will not be comfortable working there till there is an inoculation. I hope the lockdown order can be in effect till then so we don't get new cases of Covid 19. Our business is tourist oriented unfortunatly so this effects us hard. However its better to be alive than the alternative.

Healthcare - we need tests and treatment options as well as a vaccine for guests to feel safe to travel again. On going financial help so that we can stay afloat until business can resume.

The Covid outbreak has frightened so many of our local population that many are fearful to have outsiders visit our (once popular) tourist town on the coast. Some have been downright hateful and vocal about wanting to keep tourist out. This type of fear and vibe may have a lasting effect on tourism for our area now and in the next few years to come.

All businesses are essential to our well being Lower taxes
