We'll
call
the
meeting
to
order
for
the
afternoon,
though,
or
in
the
late
morning
of
december,
8th.
Let's
begin
first
with
a
call
of
the
roll
tony
jimenez
frozen.
B
Present,
thank
you,
tony
all.
Right.
Let's
stand
now,
if
you're
able
to
for
the
pledge
of
allegiance,
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
united
states
of
america,
america
and
to
the
republic,
for
which
it
is
one
nation,
under
god,.
B
Thank
you.
Today's
invitation
will
be
provided
by
video
by
pastor
ken
foreman
he's
a
senior
pastor
at
cathedral
of
faith.
I
think
many
of
us
know
him,
because
the
extraordinary
work
that
cathedral
faith
is
is
doing
in
our
community,
particularly
sustaining
thousands
of
our
families
through
their
food
program.
The
cathedral
of
faith
was
founded
in
1965
by
kazur
ken's,
dad,
kenny
and
and
shirley
foreman
his
mom
and
has
been
proudly
serving
our
community
for
55
years.
B
Since
pastor
ken
has
served
at
the
cathedral
now
for
40
years,
22
years,
which
has
been
as
lead
pastor
following
his
father's
footsteps
and
through
his
vision
and
leadership,
they
now
have
more
than
12
000
active
members,
six
south
bay
campuses,
including
one
spanish-speaking
campus
and
they're,
one
of
the
largest
churches
in
the
country.
B
According
to
us
news,
world
report
they're
also
home
to
one
of
the
top
charter
schools
in
the
nation.
The
reaching
out
food
program
is
the
largest
emergency
food
program
in
northern
california.
It
serves
38
public
schools,
providing
food
like
basic
life
necessities
and
job
training
resources
in
a
loving
and
supportive
environment.
B
During
this
crisis,
they
have
quadrupled
the
number
of
families
they
are
serving
from
about
500
families
on
average
to
now
2
000
families
per
week.
That
is
obviously
a
tragic
sign
of
the
need,
but
obviously
we
are
grateful
for
their
incredible
leadership
and
service
in
our
community.
They're
now
also
partnering,
the
second
harvest
food
bank
begin
making
mobile
deliveries
to
senior
complexes.
B
C
C
What
a
challenging
year
it's
been
and
yet
to
have
leaders
like
you
who
have
watched
over
our
community
and
sought
to
lead,
guide
and
direct
us
in
ways
that
watch
out
for
our
overall
health
as
a
community.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
that
you
do.
I
know
it's
been
a
challenging
stressful
time,
but
I
pray
that
through
the
year,
god
has
given
you
strength
and
wisdom
along
the
way
and
as
I
prepare
to
give
you
today's
blessing,
I'm
part
irish,
and
I
thought
I
would
do
an
irish
blessing
that
goes
like
this.
C
C
So
here's
another
blessing
mayor
vice
mayor
city,
council
and
all
your
families.
May
the
lord
bless
you
and
keep
you
may
his
face
shine
brightly
upon
you?
May
the
lord
be
gracious
to
you
and
give
you
his
peace
and
this
year,
even
in
this
challenging
year,
may
this
season
fill
your
hearts
and
your
homes
with
love,
joy
and
peace.
C
Let
us
be
reminded
that
well,
it's
always
darkest
before
the
dawn
and
the
light
will
prevail
in
the
name
of
the
father,
son
and
holy
spirit,
we
pray
amen.
Thank
you
again,
council
mayor
vice
mayor.
Thank
you
for
your
partnership
with
us
because
of
you
and
and
partners
like
second
harvest
this
year,
we'll
have
served
over
40
million
dollars
worth
of
food
from
our
campus
and
that
will
represent
over
half
a
million
people.
C
This
year
alone
will
be
giving
out
8
300
boxes
of
groceries
worth
just
about
400
each
and
we
couldn't
do
it
without
your
vision
and
without
your
partnership.
So,
thank
you
again
for
teaming
with
us,
so
we
can
step
up
and
meet
the
need
in
our
community,
and
I
also
want
to
invite
you
out.
If
you
know,
if
you've
got
kids
or
grandkids,
we
scrambled
to
put
together
something
that
our
community
could
enjoy
safely
this
christmas
and
so
every
night.
C
B
Thank
you,
pastor
cannon,
and
thank
you
for
all
that.
You
and
your
team
do
to
support
our
community
all
right,
we're
moving
forward,
then
to
orders
of
the
day.
Does
anyone
in
the
council
have
changes
in
the
pregnant
agenda?
D
Yes
mayor,
I
would
like
to
defer
item
2.8
as
it's
not
complete,
so
I
would
like
to
defer
that
to
either
december
15th
or
to
january.
D
Correct
appointments
to
the
charter
review
commission,
so
we
it's
minus
four
members,
and
so
it's
not
just
the
mayor's
appointments,
it's
the
district
10,
and
so
I
think
it
would
just
we
might
as
well
just
wait
until
they're
all
appointed
and
then
move
forward,
particularly
since
the
chair
is
such
an
important
position
and
we're
looking
to
the
commission
to
do
the
set
their
work
plan
moving
forward.
B
Yeah
yeah,
I'm
not
sure
why
we
couldn't
just
approve
those
who
are
already
submitted.
I
am
you
know.
Obviously
there
is
an
issue
about
who
is
here
to
make
appointments
and
who's,
not
obviously
councilmember
yep
has
appointments
that
he
has
submitted
and
I
understand,
there's
a
change
in
the
council.
D
Yeah,
that's
not
what
I'm
a
I'm
not!
I
don't
have
any
problem
with
that.
E
D
I
I
we
have
four
items
that
are
dvd
tbd
on
it
and
I'm
would
like
to
defer
it
a
week
or
or
until
after
the
deferlo,
until
they
don't
read
tbd.
D
So
I
would
the
reason
I'm
proposing
a
deferral
is
because
it's
not
complete,
so
I'm
not
looking
to
replace
anybody's
current
nominees,
I'm
I
would
like
it
to
be
complete
so
that
the
full
council
can
know
what
we're
approving
okay.
B
Okay,
any
comments
on
that
councilman
candice.
A
Sorry
mayor,
I
did
make
a
an
appointment
last
night
and
so
mine
is
no
longer
2bd
for
the
record.
I
I
don't
mind
postponing
it
one
week,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
everybody
knows
that
I
did
choose
somebody
I
wanted.
You
know
I
kind
of
was
hoping
to
get
a
bigger
pool
of
applicants,
but
I
did
make
the
appointment
yesterday.
A
Yes,
I
think
we
sent
an
email
to
tony
last
night
and
I'll
bring
it
up.
Let's
see-
and
it
is
frank
I
don't
know
how
to
say
his
last
name
really.
Well,
it's
m-a-I-t-s-k-I.
Okay!
It's
in
granicus,
it's
noted
in
granicus.
B
It
is
yeah.
Okay,
frank
mates
key
is
his
name:
okay,
okay!
Well,
I'm
I'm
happy
to
to
move
forward
with
who
we
have,
but
I
I'm
not
sure
I
understand
the
value
in
waiting,
but
it's
up
to
the
pleasure
of
the
council
I'll.
Second,
the
motion:
okay,
any
questions
or
comments:
okay,
councilman
spars.
I
know
you'd
like
to
join
the
meeting
yeah
in
memory
of
a
community
member
that
we've
lost
recently.
D
Are
we
going
to
vote
before
we
do
that,
I'm
not
sure
what
we're
doing
so.
Okay,
do
you
want
to
adjourn
now
and
then?
Okay?
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
for
bringing
that
up
and
thank
you
for
your
partnership
and
moving
this
forward.
I
know
that
you
also
have
some
relationships
here
and
I
think
we
have
a
video.
Could
we
show
the
video.
D
B
B
Okay,
perhaps
customer
as
far
as
you
can
start
until
we
can
get
that
video
loaded.
D
Okay,
thank
you
mayor.
So
today
we're
adjourning
it's
it's
a
really
really
sad
sad
day
and
I'm
heartbroken
to
recognize
in
this
adjournment
the
loss
of
noel
montoya,
who
passed
away
on
thanksgiving
day
due
to
cobit.
D
D
D
He
joined
the
famous
el
teatro
campesino
as
a
teenager
in
1971
and
would
go
on
to
tour
in
productions
throughout
the
country
and
the
world
diatros
founder,
luis
vales
described
noe
as
the
blood
and
bone
of
el
teatro
and
the
maestro
of
indigenous
music.
He
was
particularly
known
for
his
role
of
juan
diego
in
el
teatro's.
A
Noey
montoya
he
played
his
guitar
to
send
a
message.
He
sang
about
social
justice.
He
was
a
fierce
advocate
for
the
united
farm
workers.
He
marked
with
cesar
chavez.
He
lived
in
hollister
california,
and
he
was
the
soul
of
his
local
theater
company.
They
called
him
the
maestro
montoya
tested
positive
for
coronavirus.
Just
a
few
days
ago,
on
november
19th,
he
died
on
thanksgiving
day.
B
Thank
you,
councilman
esparza,
I
know
for
thousands
of
kids.
Noah
was
juan
diego
and,
as
we
celebrate
that
yesterday
here
and
this
week,
I
think
it's
appropriate
time
to
remember
knowing
all
right.
Let's
vote
then
on
the
motion.
A
A
E
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor
lots
of
material
to
cover
today
before
I
jump
into
unsung
heroes.
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
with
the
mayor
and
the
council
that
this
is
eddie
garcia's
last
week,
as
police
chief
did
want
to
thank
dave,
noff
and
dave
tyndall
for
for
filling
in
here
beyond
eddie's
retirement
and
also
well
that
he's
been
on
some
medical
leave.
E
I
will
note
that
eddie's
been
extremely
engaged
while,
while
he's
been
on
leave,
especially
helping
out
with
a
lot
of
the
bigger
issues
that
we've
been
working
on,
I
really
can't
thank
eddie
enough
for
the
outstanding
work
that
that
he's
done
throughout
his
career
and
as
as
police
chief,
I
think
we've
been
extremely
fortunate
to
have
eddie,
as
our
police
chief.
E
I
personally
feel
honored
to
have
worked
with
him
over
these
fat
last
few
years.
Well,
especially
while
I've
been
in
the
manager's
office
for
the
last
six
years,
and
I
think
he
brought
our
department
back
from
some
of
its
lowest
points
to
the
great
department
that
that
it
is
today
and
and
eddie
will
certainly
leave
a
legacy
that
will
be
felt
for
a
long
time.
I
just
want
to
personally
thank
eddie,
for
you
know
caring
about
our
city,
so
much
for
caring
about
our
police
department.
So
much
situation.
E
E
So
we're
very
proud
of
the
entire
team,
and
the
team
includes
bill
gold

the

of
employee
relations,
erica
garafo

apologize

any
mispronunciations.
E
But
you've
all
done
phenomenal
work
all
right.
So

get
into
the
eoc
update
by
kip
and
then
we'll
also
hear
from
andrea
michelle
and
chris
on
a
community
and
economic
recovery
update
yep.
F
Thank
you
dave
good
afternoon,
mayor
and
council
and
members
of
the
public,
I'm
kipparkness
deputy
city
manager
and,
along
with
lee
wilcox,
serve
as
the
director
of
emergency
operations
and
the
emergency
operations
center.
So
on
behalf
of
all
of
the
employees
of
the
eoc
and
across
the
city
who
are
responding
to
covet
19..
I
want
to
take
some
time
this
morning
to
update
you
on
our
response
and
key
events
over
the
last
month.
F
Since
we
spoke
to
you
last,
it
is
now
340
days
since
we
initiated
our
pandemic
response
team
in
the
city
of
san
jose
here
in
the
united
states.
In
that
time,
we
have
lost
281
196
people
to
this
disease,
including
an
all
too
painful
503
deaths
locally,
with
some
319
patients
currently
struggling
with
kobit
19
in
local
hospitals,
along
with
continued
high
unemployment
and
economic
distress,
all
of
which
disproportionately
impacts
black
latinx
and
native
american
individuals
and
communities
across
the
nation,
and
here
in
san
jose.
F
F
F
F
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
understand
the
national
environment
at
this
particular
moment,
because
we
are
in
a
very
different
place
than
we
were
in
the
spring
or
summer
surges
during
those
surges.
Specific,
smaller
geographies
were
hit
harder
than
others
in
this
surge.
This
third
wave
cases
are
high
throughout
most
of
the
country,
all
at
once,
which
means
there
is
less
overall
mutual
aid
capacity,
especially
within
our
health
care
system.
F
So
looking
at
the
local
data,
you
can
see
those
three
waves
which
I
spoke
about
and
what
we
have
experienced
and
are
dean.
It's
important
to
note
that
we
had
such
limited
testing
at
the
beginning
that
you
would
see
a
much
greater
spike
in
march
than
is
apparent
from
the
testing
data
at
that
time
alone.
But
in
any
case
we
are
now
in
our
third
wave
at
the
present
moment.
The
seven
day,
rolling
average
here
in
the
county
is
558
new
cases
each
day
with
more
recent
numbers,
noticeably
higher
than
that.
F
We
have
some
delays
in
reporting,
because
we've
had
so
many
cases,
so
this
graph
is
likely
under
reporting
from
what
we've
heard
from
the
county.
So
as
an
example,
on
december
1st,
we
saw
1
100
new
cases,
and
yesterday
dr
cody
confirmed
that
in
recent
days
we
have
reached
individual
day
case
counts
of
over
1
400.
In
a
single
day
at
the
hospital
level,
santa
clara
county
now
has
less
than
15
percent
icu
capacity
and
which
is
the
threshold
for
the
the
stay-at-home
orders,
which
we'll
talk
about
in
more
detail
for
comparison
in
june.
F
So
this
third
wave
of
covid
is,
as
I've
mentioned,
the
biggest
and
the
steepest.
Yet
since
march
16th,
we
have
been
part
of
a
pilot
called
the
sewage
coronavirus
alert
network
funded
by
the
centers
for
disease
control
and
conducted
in
collaboration
with
stanford
university,
as
well
as
santa
clara
county,
the
city
of
san
jose.
It
is
the
only
and
the
largest
large-scale
real-time
wastewater
pilot
in
the
world.
F
It's
this
ability
to
detect
a
virus
in
wastewater
that
serves
as
an
important
tool
for
public
health
in
evaluating
and
predicting
overall
infection
patterns
in
the
relevant
area,
particularly
during
instances
of
clinical
testing
delays
bottom
line.
What
we
are
seeing
from
the
data
is
that
this
third
wave
is
by
far
the
biggest
and
steepest
yet
bigger
in
that
significantly
more
of
the
population
is
affected
now
than
during
any
of
the
previous
two
waves
steepest,
because
the
rate
of
increase
is
also
the
fastest
that
we
have
seen
faster
than
the
previous
two
waves.
F
So
as
we
guide
ourselves
through
this
pandemic,
our
pandemic
response
plan
has
set
up
10
stages.
That
will
work
us
through
this
emergency
that
we
use
internally
to
have
a
sense
of
where
we
are.
That
goes
all
the
way
from
stage
to
one
initial
planning
which
we
initiated
back
on
the
24th
of
january
2020
to
stage
10
the
hope
for
new
normal
post
pandemic.
F
We
hit
stage
five
the
first
time
around
on
march
15th,
which
is
the
highest
level
of
restrictions
and
response.
Then,
in
july
we
moved
into
stage
six
then
stage.
Seven
then
stage
eight
then
began
to
move
backwards,
as
this
third
wave
began
to
rise
on
sunday
in
sync,
with
the
regional
stay-at-home
order,
the
city
moved
back
into
stage
five.
F
F
We
need
at
least
three
weeks
three
weeks
of
consecutive
concerted
effort
to
slow
and
reduce
the
curve.
If
we
wait
until
we
are
in
the
danger
zone
in
the
icu's,
we've
essentially
waited
too
long.
We
agree
with
the
county
and
believe
we
need
to
act
now.
In
order
to
have
an
opportunity
to
preserve
the
capacity
of
the
health
care
system,
the
reason
it's
particularly
important
to
act
now
at
the
regional
level
is
because
the
health
care
system
is
essentially
a
regional
system.
F
F
The
next
month
of
stay
at
home
is
intended
to
deliver
a
strong,
sharp
shock
to
bring
the
virus
under
control.
We
know
the
order
will
cause
hardship
and
economic
pain,
especially
to
the
businesses
and
their
employees
that
are
most
affected
by
this,
such
as
restaurants,
I'll
now
take
some
time
to
walk
through
how
the
stadium
stay
at
home
order
affects
businesses
in
the
general
population,
city
services
and
our
emergency
response,
so
for
the
businesses
and
general
population,
the
regional
stay-at-home
order
boils
down
to
this.
F
Individuals
are
required
to
stay
at
home
except
to
conduct
essential
activities.
Gatherings
with
other
households
is
not
allowed,
including
even
outdoors,
worship
and
political
expression
are
permitted.
First,
amendment
activities
and
guidance
to
schools
remains
in
effect
and
unchanged.
Essentially,
if
they
were
open,
they
may
remain
open
closed
indoors
and
outdoors
are
the
following
card
rooms,
personal
care,
playgrounds,
museums,
zoos,
aquariums,
movie,
theaters,
family
entertainment,
centers,
on-site
dining
services
at
restaurants,
wineries
and
bars.
F
Takeout
and
delivery
continues:
limited
services,
businesses,
id
dog,
groomers
and
landscapers,
amusement
parks,
smoking,
lounges,
campgrounds
for
overnight
stay
stay
closed
indoors,
but
open
outdoors
are
the
following:
gyms,
including
fitness
classes,
recreational
facilities
and
swimming
pools
open
indoors
and
outdoors,
but
at
different
capacities
are
retail,
limited
to
20
capacity,
shopping,
centers,
20
capacity,
essential
infrastructure,
20
capacity,
health
care
facilities,
including
non-urgent
procedures,
hotels
and
lodging
facilities
for
essential
travel
or
quarantine
purposes.
Only.
F
So
what
does
that
mean
for
us
here
at
the
city
in
terms
of
city
services
that
we
provide?
We
as
a
city
have
been
deliberate,
deliberate
and
prioritize
safety
in
our
city
services
and
our
city
service
delivery
during
cobit
19..
As
a
result,
much
of
what
we
do
will
continue
under
the
new
stay-at-home
orders.
F
F
So
at
the
eoc
level,
our
roadmap
through
the
epidemic,
continues
to
guide
our
work
and
in
response
to
the
stay-at-home
orders.
As
I
mentioned,
we
have
intensified
our
emergency
response
in
five
particular
ways.
One
we've
increased
the
tempo
of
our
eoc
operations
to
ensure
rapid
decision
making
and
availability
of
resources.
F
Second,
we've
reviewed
city
services
and
have
made
necessary
changes
as
summarized
on
the
previous
slide.
Three.
We
conducted
a
rapid
appraisal
on
food
sheltering
and
small
business
services
in
order
to
support
our
most
vulnerable
and
increase
our
response
there,
where
appropriate
and
possible
four.
F
We
like
to
thank
the
continued
leadership
of
our
non-profit
and
community
partners,
such
as
second
harvest
cathedral
of
faith
and
others,
who
collectively
have
helped
us
coordinate
the
distribution
of
approximately
9.5
million
meals,
county
wide
and
city-wide,
with
no
reported
gaps.
Since
we
last
reported
to
you
and
to
provide
food
to
the
community
over
the
thanksgiving
holiday,
the
food
branch
helped
distribute
an
additional
25
000
shelf,
stable
meals.
F
There
were
a
small
number
of
issues
with
some
vegetarian
meals
that
were
fortunately
brought
to
our
attention
and
addressed
after
fully
opening
the
first
temporary
housing
site
last
month.
We
now
have
74
individuals
at
the
monterey
bernell
site,
we're
continuing
work
on
the
other
two
at
evans,
lane
and
roof
ferrari
and
are
on
track
to
open
those
sites.
Next
month,
at
our
south
hall
shelter,
we
are
currently
serving
237
individuals.
F
We've
done
a
number
of
safety
work,
reviewing
new
cal
osha
requirements
and
making
sure
that
we
are
fully
in
compliance
and
updating
our
travel
guidance
to
reflect
the
latest
directive
from
the
county
and
finally,
you'll
hear
more
about
this
in
detail.
The
community
economic
recovery
team
have
done
a
number
of
things,
including
partnering,
to
provide
a
total
of
three
excuse
me:
30
million
in
corona
virus
relief,
funds
to
residents
assisted
needing
assistance,
small
businesses,
non-profit
and
child
care
in
our
community.
F
So
I
wanted
also
to
talk
about
something
very
important.
We
have
reviewed
the
memo
from
councilmember
jimenez
and
in
accordance
with
recommendation
number
one
from
that
memo
are
providing
this
report
on
efforts
and
strategies
for
distribution
of
a
covid19
vaccine.
F
F
This
vaccination
campaign
is
critical
to
ending
the
health
threat
of
cobit
19
pandemic
and
paving
the
way
for
full
economic,
reopening
and
recovery
for
those
of
us
concerned
deeply
about
economic
recovery
as
well
as
public
health.
It
is
important
to
remember
that
in
many
ways
the
virus
is
the
economy,
meaning
that
the
only
path
to
full
and
lasting
economic
recovery
is
through
the
control
of
the
virus
and
the
best
way
to
control
this
virus
is
through
widespread
vaccinations.
F
The
development
of
vaccines
against
covet
19
has
been
led
at
the
federal
level,
and
the
implementation
of
the
overall
vaccine
campaign
will
be
a
joint
responsibility
between
the
federal
state
and
local
governments
locally.
The
county,
specifically,
the
public
health
department,
will
take
the
lead
in
developing
and
rolling
out
the
vaccination
campaign.
F
The
slides
I'm
sharing
here
are
from
material
presented
by
dr
marty
finsterscheib,
who
is
the
county's
lead
on
the
kobit
19
vaccine
campaign,
as
well
as
some
additional
information
provided
by
the
federal
government?
We
are,
I
believe,
lucky
in
this
county
to
have
someone
like
dr
finsterscheib
leading
the
vaccine
campaign.
F
F
F
The
cdc
will
determine
at
a
high
level
the
priorities
for
who
should
get
those
vaccines
and
they
have
already
put
out
their
initial
guidance.
The
very
first
phase
of
vaccinations
will
focus
on
health
care
workers,
medical
first
responders
and
residents
of
long-term
care
facilities
to
get
a
sense
of
the
magnitude.
There
are
approximately
21
million
health
care
workers
and
perhaps
as
many
as
3
million
residents
of
long-term
care
facilities
across
the
united
states,
each
of
whom
will
require
two
doses
of
the
vaccine
taken
several
weeks
apart.
F
So,
as
I
mentioned,
each
role
of
the
government
has
a
part
to
play.
The
federal
government
has
helped
to
develop
the
vaccines
and
approves
them
and
sets
the
overall
priorities
for
vaccinations.
As
discussed
on
the
previous
slide.
They
also
have
a
distribution
role,
providing
doses
to
federal
agencies
and
departments,
as
well
as
to
the
states
themselves.
F
F
F
F
So
allocation
in
terms
of
allocation,
as
I
said,
the
state
plans
to
follow
the
federal
framework,
starting
first
with
those
in
what
is
called
phase
1a
and
prioritizing
further.
According
to
the
state
tiers,
the
initial
effort
will
be
focused
on
health
care
workers,
medical
first
responders
and
long-term
care
facilities.
F
Community
engagement
in
terms
of
community
engagement,
the
county,
is
planning
to
utilize
similar
strategies
used
to
promote
covid19
testing
during
earlier
stages
in
the
pandemic.
This
is
expected
to
include
partnership
with
promotoras
and
community
leaders,
as
well
as
outreach
through
the
county
public
health
program
and
business
engagement
programs.
F
In
terms
of
vaccine
management,
it
is
important
to
note
that,
given
the
cold
storage
requirements
and
the
cold
chain
necessity,
only
the
sites
approved
by
the
state
or
county
have
the
capacity
to
manage
the
complex
logistics
that
will
be
required
to
allocate
these
vaccines
to
give
you
a
sense
of
scale,
a
rough
scale
in
our
county.
There
are
perhaps
140
000
health
care
workers,
and
we
are,
according
to
the
last
numbers
from
dr
fenster
scheib,
on
track
to
receive
perhaps
17
550
doses
of
the
vaccine
in
december.
F
It's
important
to
remember
that
with
these
initial
vaccines,
both
of
which
are
mrna
or
messenger
rna
vaccines.
As
I
said,
two
doses
are
required
several
weeks
apart
for
an
effective
vaccine
and
the
vaccine
must
be
kept
in
continuous
cold
chain
in
the
case
of
the
fibers
or
vaccine,
a
very
cold
change,
all
of
which
again
complicates
the
process.
F
In
closing.
On
the
subject
of
vaccines,
I
want
to
reiterate
that
we
have
repeatedly
and
consistently
let
the
county
know
that
we
as
a
city
stand
ready
to
support
the
county
in
any
way
we
can
and
communicate
the
need
to
expand
partnerships
across
the
county.
County
staff
is
updating
the
board
of
supervisors.
Today,
on
the
vaccine
programs,
and
as
I
said,
we
know
they
are
establishing
working
groups
and
task
forces
to
help
drive
the
work,
including
in
the
areas
and
issues
raised
in
the
memo
from
council
member
jimenez.
F
So
moving
from
the
vaccination
campaign
to
the
related
topic
of
community
and
economic
recovery,
that
is
our
deep
dive
for
this
3.1.
The
important
question
of
community
and
economic
recovery
to
lead
this
work
from
the
eoc
we
put
together
a
task
force
led
by
andrea,
flores
shelton
as
the
overall
director
and
her
assistant
director,
michelle
mcgurk,
also
here,
to
get
a
deeper
into
the
economic
numbers,
is
chris
burton
from
the
office
of
economic
development.
F
G
Thank
you
kip
good
afternoon,
council,
andrea
flora
shelton
this
presentation
with
chris
and
michelle
will
discuss
what
is
happening
now
and
in
the
next
phases
of
community
and
economic
recovery,
and
highlight
relief
efforts
and
resources
available
now,
specifically
on
current
rental
relief
partnership
efforts
as
the
community
and
economic
recovery
director
and
on
behalf
of
my
eoc
colleagues,
we
are
mindful
that,
amid
the
current
critical
state,
long-term
recovery
may
not
may
not
be
top
of
mind
as
we
continue
responding
to
avoid
community
hunger
loss
and
loneliness
to
be
faced
in
the
coming
weeks,
particularly
by
those
with
limited
resilience
given
the
months
of
strain.
G
Yet
the
magnitude
of
community
and
economic
impacts
during
this
month,
we
will
reverberate
for
years
to
come,
which
is
why,
in
addition
to
our
collective
response
in
the
next
three
weeks
and
more,
a
simultaneous
coordinating
effort
has
started
to
plan
our
long-term
recovery
and
ensure
that,
as
we
build
for
the
future,
that
future
commits
to
opportunities
for
achieving
healthy,
resilient
and
prosperous
communities
for
everyone.
Andrew
can
you
do
next
slide?
Please.
G
Thank
you.
Our
commitment
is
to
work
internally
and
with
our
partners
to
build
an
equitable
approach
to
recovery
that
is
rooted
in
economic
justice
and
guided
by
the
north
star
of
economic
resiliency
and
racial
equity.
We
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
get
from
the
here
and
now
towards
that
north
star
and
in
the
next
year
we
will
develop
our
goals
and
work
plan
next
slide
to
begin
assessing
the
status
of
san
jose's
community
and
economic
recovery.
G
G
Again,
this
is
a
long-term
effort
that
needs
to
start
now
with
community
and
institutional
leadership
working
together
to
define
what
healthy
communities
and
economic
resiliency
looks
like
for
everyone
in
san
jose.
Next
slide,
as
I
mentioned,
key
questions
are:
where
is
the
adversity
most
profound?
Where
is
it
emerging?
G
Despite
making
up
28
percent
of
the
city's
population,
the
disparities
remain
very
stark
next
slide,
oh
say
sorry.
Back
to
that
slide,
we
plan
to
use
the
zip
code
covered
case
tracking
tool
to
monitor
emerging
zip
codes,
as
mentioned,
and
hopefully
dissipating
areas
of
san
jose
on
a
week
to
week
basis
we
will
circulate
for
awareness
by
members
throughout
the
eoc
and
the
city.
This
tool
will
inform
everything
from
epio
communication
tactics
and
relief
and
recovery
programs
and
potential
collaborations
with
the
county
next
slide.
G
So
as
we
look
at
these
protective
factors
and
risk
factors,
we'll
look
at
it
at
the
individual
people
level,
at
the
condition,
level
or
environmental
level,
as
well
as
mobility
and
access
issues.
These
indicators
are
aligned
to
our
interventions
and
to
what
is
important
for
driving
economic
resiliency
and
community
equity.
G
H
Thanks,
andrea
thanks
andrew
so,
yes
marion,
council,
chris
burton
with
the
office
of
economic
development,
we
had
the
opportunity
to
do
a
much
deeper
dive
with
the
community
and
economic
development
committee
on
this
topic
most
recently,
and
so
we
just
wanted
to
touch
on
it
a
little
bit
to
give
you
a
sense
of
how
we're
monitoring
the
economy
and
using
those
different
data
points
to
to
really
focus
our
work
and
bring
attention
to
those
areas
most
in
need.
H
So,
as
andrea
mentioned,
we're
really
thinking
about
the
economy
in
three
segments,
so
the
first
is
really
the
stabilized
economy,
so
those
businesses
and
industries
that
have
been
able
to
mitigate
through
the
impacts
of
the
pandemic
by
using
technology
and
remote
work
for
their
employees.
This
also
includes
some
amount
of
businesses
that
have
stabilized
as
a
result
of
being.
I'm
sorry
excuse
me,
as
a
result
of
being
essential
businesses
that
needed
to
be
continue.
Opening
the
second
segment
is
really
our
holding
on
businesses.
These
are
consumer-faced.
H
Businesses
tends
to
be
more
high
street
type
businesses,
as
people
have
been
impacted
by
the
requirements
and
the
restrictions
around
the
pandemic.
This
has
obviously
had
an
impact
on
their
income
and
their
revenues
and
then,
lastly,
we
think
of
the
in
crisis
segments,
so
those
individuals
or
or
businesses
or
occupations
that
have
no
opportunity
to
work
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic,
whether
it's
because
of
business,
downsizing
or
because
of
the
regulatory
environment,
that's
closed
down
those
businesses.
H
So
obviously
you
know-
we've
talked
about
this
before
that.
There's
this
challenge
around
the
lag
of
data,
so
we're
trying
to
understand
the
picture
as
it
emerges
and
generally
we
sit
sort
of
two
to
three
months
behind
and
so
we're
using
a
unique
set
of
different
sources
to
try
and
get
a
better
understanding
as
we
go
and
they
kind
of
move
from
from
left
to
right.
H
As
you
look
at
this
slide,
so
we
across
all
three
segments
we're
really
looking
at
you
know
things
like
large-scale
employment
numbers,
real
estate
vacancy
the
availability
of
sublease
space
earnings,
revenues
and
sales
tax
is
a
measure
of
consumer
spend,
as
we
think
about
the
sort
of
holding
on
and
in
crisis,
more
individually,
we're
looking
at
small
business,
specifically
especially
around
openings
and
the
impact
of
revenues,
and
how
that
relates
to
sort
of
consumer
spending
and
the
time
that
folks
are
spending
outside
their
home.
H
And
then,
as
we
drill
down
on
that
in
crisis
segment,
it
really
becomes
focused
on
the
individual
at
the
occupation
level
and
how
those
things
are
are
appearing
to
recover
by
industry
segment
and
then
some
of
those
more
well
publicized
measures
such
as
unemployment
insurance
claims
and
then,
as
again
as
andrew
mentioned,
we're
trying
to
take
a
racial
equity
view
across
all
of
these
segments.
H
But
in
particular,
as
we
look
at
that
in
crisis
segment,
we
really
need
to
understand
that,
and
the
last
thing
just
to
mention
on
the
data
side
is,
we
have
just
initiated
our
own
business
pulse
survey,
which
is
intended
to
be
a
regular
survey.
That's
going
out
every
two
to
three
weeks
to
the
same
set
of
businesses
with
five
very
simple
questions
that
they
can
answer
in
less
than
a
minute,
so
that
we
can
get
a
sense
of
the
general
sort
of
perception
of
businesses
across
the
city.
H
We've
ensured
that
we've
got
a
wide
distribution
by
size
and
geography.
So,
as
we
start
to
get
those
responses
back,
we'll
have
a
better
indication
of
how
people
are
faring
next
slide.
Please.
So
I'm
going
to
dive
in
very
quickly
just
on
on
two
of
our
data
points.
Just
to
give
you
a
general
sense
of
what
we're
seeing,
but
then
also
to
kind
of
give
you
an
idea
of
what
we
think
we're
going
to
see
over
the
next
few
weeks
as
well.
So
in
that
middle
segment,
in
our
holding
on
segment.
H
As
we
look
at
small
businesses,
the
state
is
actually
msa,
but
it's
pretty
representative
of
the
city.
What
you
see
here
is
the
percent
change
in
small
business
revenue
between
january
at
the
start
of
the
year
and
and
this
data
runs
to
about
mid-november
and
obviously,
as
you
would
anticipate
as
the
shelter
in
place,
orders
went
into
place
as
the
restrictions
were
placed
on
individuals,
and
you
see
that
sharp
decline
in
small
business
revenue.
H
As
we
look
across
a
number
of
different
metrics,
including
business
openings,
including
consumer
spending,
they
all
mirror
pretty
much
that
same
pattern.
I
I
However,
we
received
1
000
applications
and
many
more
businesses
were
interested
in
accessing
those
resources,
but
didn't
meet
the
program
criteria
and,
as
we
outlined
in
the
info
memo
that
was
released
this
morning,
our
non-arts
non-profit,
grant
programs.
We
had
3.3
million
dollars
to
provide
in
funding
and
we
received
9.3
million
in
funding
requests.
I
I
know
some
of
your
offices
have
heard
from
some
disappointed,
grantees
or
applicants
and
honestly
we
just
didn't-
have
enough
money
to
give
to
fund
everybody.
So
the
next
slide,
please.
I
I
This
slide
provides
an
overview
of
how
the
housing
department
and
the
emergency
operations
center
have
partnered
to
braid
funds
to
respond
to
the
pandemic
and
recession.
The
funding
shown
here
is
just
for
rental
relief
and
related
direct
assistance,
and
it
doesn't
include
programs
like
the
covid,
supportive
isolation,
partnership
with
the
county
or
homelessness
assistance
and
housing
programs.
I
We
want
to
thank
jen
loving
for
the
critical
role
she
and
destination
home
have
played
from
day
one
of
this
pandemic
in
raising
funds
through
the
silicon
valley,
strong
effort
and
beyond,
as
well
as
the
amazing
rfp
that
they
did
to
get
so
many
community
partners
on
board.
We
want
to
thank
poncho,
quivera
and
the
sacred
heart
team
for
your
leadership
and
advocacy
for
our
most
vulnerable
residents.
I
In
addition
to
the
direct
assistance
and
beyond
the
rental
relief,
we
want
to
recognize
the
role
that
greg
kefferley
and
the
team
at
catholic
charities
are
playing
with
the
bridge
to
recovery
task
force,
which
is
looking
at
long-term
improvements
to
workforce
development
and
the
safety
net
systems
to
better
serve
our
most
vulnerable
residents.
Thank
you
all.
I
know
the
ceos
from
these
organizations
are
here
with
us
today,
so
the
next
slide,
please,
we
do
want
to
share
some
preliminary
data
from
our
rental
relief
partners.
I
This
map
shows
data
from
destination,
home
sacred
heart
and
their
grassroots
partners
for
the
current
round
of
rental
assistance
as
of
the
beginning
of
the
month,
and
it
mirrors
the
slide
that
andrea
showed
earlier.
These
are
the
applications
coming
in
for
rental
relief
and
they
very
much
mirror
where
we're
seeing
the
need
next
slide,
please,
if
we
dig
a
bit
deeper,
this
slide
shows
that
before
covid,
the
average
family
that
is
now
seeking
rental
assistance
was
already
severely
burdened
paying
63
percent
of
their
income
to
rent.
I
I
What
our
partners
are
finding
is
that
many
residents
haven't
trusted
the
eviction
moratorium
protections
and
they
are
terrified
of
losing
their
homes
and
are
finding
a
way
to
pay
rent,
even
if
that
means
foregoing
food,
medical
care
or
paying
the
utilities.
They
are
borrowing
money
from
friends
and
relatives
and
from
predatory
lenders.
I
So
we
have
been
continuously
shifting
the
program
to
meet
these
needs,
while
still
meeting
the
federal
documentation
requirements.
Our
partners
now
can
help
these
families
pay
off
loans,
pay
utility
bills,
pay
for
medical
expenses,
so
long
as
those
needs
are
related
to
the
pandemic
or
the
economic
harm
they've
suffered
through
the
pandemic
induced
recession.
I
I
want
to
note
as
well
that
at
least
40
percent
of
the
families
are
facing
significant
paperwork
challenges,
whether
it's,
because
they
lack
formal
traditional
leases
or
there
are
problems
verifying
the
landlord
because
of
the
you
know,
the
county
assessment.
Assessor
paperwork
with
the
type
of
home
it
is
or
what,
and
what
have
you
so
we're
working
very
nimbly
to
try
and
meet
these
requirements,
and
our
partners
are
being
very
creative
in
how
they
use
the
federal
and
the
and
philanthropic
and
flexible
funding
to
put
together
a
package
that
can
meet
each
family's
need.
G
Thank
you.
Michelle
next
slide,
andrew.
So,
given
the
level
of
adversity
in
the
community,
we're
wrapping
up
by
providing
resources
that
you
can
share
with
your
constituents
and
we
want
to
again
encourage
the
community
to
be
aware
of.
All
of
these
resources
are
available
on
the
city's
website
in
our
virtual
local
assistance
center
help
for
residents
help
for
businesses.
Help
for
non-profits
residents
who
don't
have
access
to
the
internet
can
always
call
3-1-1
for
help
and
we're
finding
that
we
311
is
receiving
more
complex
cases
that
the
recovery
section
is
supporting.
G
So,
while
the
city's
small
business
grant
programs
have
completed
and
closed,
the
state
has
announced,
as
you
most
likely
are
aware,
but
we
want
to
reiterate
that
temporary
tax
relief
and
5
million
dollars
in
grants
to
assist
struggling
businesses
as
well
as
100
million
in
tax
credits.
One
area
where
we're
finding
there
is
confusion.
G
So,
in
addition
to
this
program,
we
really
want
to
encourage
council
as
well
as
community,
to
be
aware
of
the
housing
department's
email
and
phone
number,
where
residents
can
find
out
about
accurate
and
timely
information
about
the
eviction
moratorium.
As
michelle
pointed
out,
there's
confusion
and
mistrust
about
the
eviction
moratorium
protections.
G
G
We
hope
you
can
amplify
our
efforts
and
we
know
that
charitable
giving
is
of
the
utmost,
and
we
hope
that
you
will
continue
to
support
silicon
valley
strong
and
we
look
forward
to
really
having
a
big
push
now
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
back
over
to
kip.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you,
andrea
and
team
for
all
of
that
work.
You
know
if
the
key
to
the
initial
emergency
response
is
taking
action
fast,
then
the
key
to
successful
recovery
is
is
working
with
and
as
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
you
know
we're
fortunate
in
san
jose
to
have
literally
hundreds
of
partners
in
our
response
and
recovery
work,
many
of
which
dream
team.
F
Just
highlighted
a
few
weeks
ago,
on
the
13th
of
november,
we
met
with
some
of
those
local
leaders,
both
from
the
city
of
san
jose's,
emergency
operations,
center,
some
community
organizations
and
government
partners.
We
took
about
four
hours
to
pause,
to
reflect,
to
learn
and
prepare
for
this
next
phase
and
phases
of
recovery
and
response.
F
Next,
from
the
21st
of
january,
until
june,
30th
and
later
july,
1
and
beyond,
so
as
you
can
see
here,
we
have
deep
local
expertise.
We
did
a
series
of
lightning
talks
or
listened
to
a
series
of
lightning
talks
from
a
number
of
local
experts,
including
taking
a
look
at
the
trajectory
of
covet
19
in
vaccines
from
our
own,
dr
marty,
finsterscheib
with
the
santa
clara
county
public
health.
We
looked
at
schools,
learning
and
digital
inclusion
from
mary.
F
One
is
that
it's
going
to
get
harder
before
it
gets
easier,
but
we
as
a
city
are
prepared.
We
have
a
team
and
we
are
ready.
Two
is
a
successful.
Recovery
will
need
to
be
collaborative
and
cross
sector.
This
is
not
something
we
do
alone.
This
is
not
something
we
do
as
government.
This
is
something
we
must
do
as
a
whole
community,
and
the
third
and
most
painful,
perhaps,
is
that
we
will
need
to
make
hard
trade-offs
to
support
our
most
vulnerable.
F
F
Now
we
are
entering
the
hardest
part
of
this
pandemic,
with
the
renewed
stay-at-home
order.
The
most
deadly
surge
of
cobit
19,
we
have
seen
and
households
and
small
businesses
that
might
have
held
on
to
now
but
are
at
risk
of
collapse
and,
of
course,
the
daunting
complexity
of
the
initial
vaccine
campaign.
F
What
comes
next,
however,
begins
to
show
some
hope.
For
the
first
time
we
can
see
the
true
end
with
vaccines,
a
scaling
of
a
successful
vaccination
campaign,
the
reopening
of
business
and
the
slowing
of
disease,
but
if-
and
only
if
we
do
the
hard
work
of
now,
I
promise
you
that
later
we
will
be
getting
back
to
something
resembling
normal
and
while
we
may
not
be
able
to
celebrate
christmas
or
hanukkah
or
kwanzaa
or
the
solstice
in
the
way
we
want
this
winter
with
luck
and
hard
work
by
summer.
F
We
may
be
mostly
out
of
this,
so
perhaps
this
year
christmas
is
in
july,
but
to
get
to
later.
This
is
the
time
to
hold
fast
and
hold
steady,
even
when
it's
hard
a
time
to
keep
it
together
and
act
as
one
team
for
right
now,
we
must
put
off
gathering
with
those
we
love
the
most,
because
we
love
them
to
keep
them
safe,
to
keep
ourselves
safe
and
to
reduce
the
strain
on
our
health
care
system
to
keep
the
whole
community
safe.
F
So
as
we
go
forward,
I
want
to
close
with
a
little
bit
of
an
ask
for
the
city
as
a
whole,
which
is,
if
you
may
not
now
be
gathering
with
friends
and
family
over
the
next
month.
I
know
that's
going
to
be
hard,
but
perhaps
now
you
have
a
little
bit
of
extra
time,
and
if
you
have
that
time
you
can
help
others,
because
we
need
your
help
with
one
thing
in
particular:
feeding
our
people.
F
During
this
holidays,
we
are
facing
a
significant
gap
in
volunteers,
especially
the
hard
work
in
warehousing
of
sorting
and
packing
foods
with
partners
like
second
harvest
we've
initiated
requests
from
the
national
guard,
we're
redeploying
city
staff
from
suspended
services
and
are
mobilizing
our
partner,
the
san
jose
conservation
corps.
But
that
may
not
be
enough.
F
We
need
members
of
the
community
who
are
not
at
high
risk
of
covid
who
are
able-bodied
and
who
can
volunteer
to
volunteer
to
help
feed
our
community.
So
we
can
make
it
through
this
winter.
You
can
go
to
siliconvalleystrong.org
right
now
and
sign
up,
and
we
will
really
appreciate
any
help
that
you
can
give
us
in
making
sure
that
those
of
us
who
have
the
least
make
it
through.
F
E
Thanks
kip
thanks
to
the
team
for
today's
presentation.
So
that
concludes
our
presentation
mayor,
we're
ready
for
questions
or
we
can
resume
after
the
breakup
to
you.
B
Yeah,
thank
you
dave
and
thanks
to
everyone,
for
your
great
work
and
for
the
all
the
important
information
just
provided
since
we're
approaching
12
30.
Why
don't
we
take
the
break
and
we'll
resume
at
1
30
before
we
go?
I
just
wanted
to
add
one
other
set
of
partners
since
we
were
talking
about
the
silicon
valley.
Strong
fund
they've
been
really
important,
and
that
is
many
of
the
private
sector
donors.
