Corpus Christi
Keeping families close
September 3, 2020
Dear Mayor McComb,
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Corpus Christi is committed to the health, safety and well-being of
our families, staff, volunteers and our Men Who Cook participants. Upon the postponement of this
significant fundraiser, we began developing a robust three-phase plan to put into place once the
caseload, community and the environmental conditions warranted. As of August 31, we are prepared to
proceed with our semi -virtual plan on October 23`d, 2020, which includes no more than 100 participants
to include cook teams, staff and essential volunteers and vendors at a designated site. All other
attendees will experience Men Who Cook virtually with a curbside pick-up option available. Curbside
pick-up will run with assigned time blocks for ticket holders and will include a sample of each team's
signature dish, an official event cookbook, customized event gift and instructions for voting and the
virtual program.
The 13 participating three-man teams will be on location to add the finishing touches to their dish and
distribute into to -go containers for pick-up. We have secured the proper equipment needed to ensure
food safety as required by our local public health department. The total number of people on location
for the event is approximately 90, but not to exceed 100 people on site.
We will maintain and follow all local, state and CDC guidelines in regards to the COVID19 pandemic
during the event. Upon arrival, all cook team participants, volunteers, staff and vendors will go through
a temperature check and COVID19 health screening. We will ensure that all cook team and volunteer
stations will be placed a minimum of 6 feet apart, as well as provide all teams, vendors, staff and
volunteers with facemasks, gloves, hand sanitizer and wash stations.
The Ronald McDonald House appreciates the support of the Corpus Christi community. We look forward
to a safe and successful event to continue our mission of providing a comfortable, home -away -from -
home for families that must travel to fulfill their children's healthcare needs. Please let me know if you
have any questions or suggestions for our event plans.
Very sincerely,
Georgia Grainger

EXECUTIVE ORDER
GA 28
Relating to the targeted response to the COVID-19 disaster
as part of the reopening of Texas.
WHEREAS, I, Greg Abbott, Governor of Texas, issued a disaster proclamation on March
13, 2020, certifying under Section 418.014 of the Texas Government Code that the novel
coronavirus (COVID-19) poses an imminent threat of disaster for all counties in the
State of Texas; and
WHEREAS, in each subsequent month effective through today, I have renewed the
disaster declaration for all Texas counties; and
WHEREAS, the Commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services
(DSHS), Dr. John Hellerstedt, has determined that COVID-19 continues to represent a
public health disaster within the meaning of Chapter 81 of the Texas Health and Safety
Code; and
WHEREAS, I have issued executive orders and suspensions of Texas laws in response to
COVID-19, aimed at protecting the health and safety of Texans and ensuring an
effective response to this disaster; and
WHEREAS, I issued Executive Order GA -08 on March 19, 2020, mandating certain
social -distancing restrictions for Texans in accordance with guidelines promulgated by
President Donald J. Trump and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC);
and
WHEREAS, I issued Executive Order GA -14 on March 31, 2020, expanding the social -
distancing restrictions for Texans based on guidance from health experts and the
President; and
WHEREAS, I subsequently issued Executive Orders GA -16, GA -18, GA -21, GA -23, and
GA -26 from April through early June 2020, aiming to achieve the least restrictive means
of combatting the threat to public health by continuing certain social -distancing
restrictions, while implementing a safe, strategic plan to Open Texas; and
WHEREAS, as Texas reopens in the midst of COVID-19, increased spread is to be
expected, and the key to controlling the spread and keeping Texas residents safe is for all
Texans to consistently follow good hygiene and social -distancing practices, especially
those set forth in the minimum standard health protocols from DSHS; and
WHEREAS, due to recent substantial increases in COVID-19 positive cases, and
increases in the COVED -19 positivity rate and hospitalizations resulting from COVID-
19, targeted and temporary adjustments to the reopening plan are needed to achieve the
FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE
SEF STATE

Governor Greg Abbott Executive Order GA -28
June 26, 2020 Page 2
least restrictive means for reducing the growing spread of COVID-19 and the resulting
imminent threat to public health, and to avoid a need for more extreme measures; and
WHEREAS, everyone must act safely, and to that end, this executive order and prior
executive orders provide that all persons should follow the health protocols from DSHS,
which whenever achieved will mean compliance with the minimum standards for safely
reopening, but which should not be used to fault those who act in good faith but can only
substantially comply with the standards in light of scarce resources and other extenuating
COVID-19 circumstances; and
WHEREAS, the "governor is responsible for meeting ... the dangers to the state and
people presented by disasters" under Section 418.011 of the Texas Government Code,
and the legislature has given the governor broad authority to fulfill that responsibility;
and
WHEREAS, failure to comply with any executive order issued during the COVID-19
disaster is an offense punishable under Section 418.173 by a fine not to exceed $1,000,
and may be subject to regulatory enforcement;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Greg Abbott, Governor of Texas, by virtue of the power and
authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and in
accordance with guidance from DSHS Commissioner Dr. Hellerstedt and other medical
advisors, the Governor's Strike Force to Open Texas, the White House, and the CDC, do
hereby order the following on a statewide basis effective at noon on June 26, 2020:

home, to implement social distancing and to practice good hygiene,

14. In providing or obtaining services, every person (including individuals,
businesses, and other legal entities) should use good -faith efforts and available
resources to follow the minimum standard health protocols recommended by
DSHS;
15. Nothing in this executive order or the DSHS minimum standards precludes

set forth by HHSC, including minimizing the movement of staff between
facilities whenever possible; and

(TEA). Private schools and institutions of higher education are encouraged to
establish similar standards. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
schools may conduct graduation ceremonies consistent with the minimum
standard health protocols found in guidance issued by TEA.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the governor may by proclamation
add to the list of establishments or venues that people shall not visit.
This executive order shall supersede any conflicting order issued by local officials
in response to the COV1D-19 disaster, but only to the extent that such a local order
restricts services allowed by this executive order, allows gatherings prohibited by
this executive order, or expands the list or scope of services as set forth in this
executive order. Pursuant to Section 418.016(a) of the Texas Government Code, I
hereby suspend Sections 418.1015(b) and 418.108 of the Texas Government Code,
Chapter 81, Subchapter E of the Texas Health and Safety Code, and any other
relevant statutes, to the extent necessary to ensure that local officials do not impose
restrictions in response to the COVID-19 disaster that are inconsistent with this
executive order, provided that local officials may enforce this executive order as
well as local restrictions that are consistent with this executive order.
All existing state executive orders relating to COVID-19 are amended to eliminate
confinement in jail as an available penalty for violating the executive orders. To the
extent any order issued by local officials in response to the COVID-19 disaster
would allow confinement in jail as an available penalty for violating a COVID-19-
related order, that order allowing confinement in jail is superseded, and I hereby
suspend all relevant laws to the extent necessary to ensure that local officials do not
confine people in jail for violating any executive order or local order issued in
response to the COVID-19 disaster.
This executive order supersedes Executive Order GA -26, but does not supersede
Executive Orders GA -10, GA -13, GA -17, GA -19, GA -24, GA -25, or GA -27. This
