From YouTube: 3/2/21 | City Mgr. Dave Sykes presents City's Response to COVID-19 & Continuity of Operations Plan
Description
San José City Council March 2, 2021 Meeting, Agenda Item 3.1
B
A
Thank
you
dave
good
afternoon,
mayor
and
city
council
and
members
of
the
public,
I'm
kip
harkness,
deputy
city
manager
and,
along
with
lee
wilcox,
the
director
of
our
emergency
operations
center.
So
on
behalf
of
all
the
city,
staff
and
nonprofit
partners,
working
together
in
our
response
to
cobit
19,
I'd
like
to
give
you
an
update
over
some
of
the
key
events
over
the
last
month
as
a
reminder.
In
addition,
we
did
hear
the
vaccines
last
week
so
we'll
be
touching
on
that
fairly
lightly
this
week
and
there
are
three
separate
items
related
to
cobid.
A
A
The
emergency
interim
housing
team
worked
with
the
county
and
site
operator
at
the
roof
of
ferrari
site
to
begin
sheltering,
homeless,
individuals
and
couples.
The
site
is
currently
sheltering
about
98,
seniors
and
cobia
vulnerable
individuals,
habitat
for
humanity,
has
reached
90
construction
completion
on
the
evans
lane
community,
with
the
site
expected
to
open
by
about
mid-march
light
touch
on
the
vaccination
team.
A
They
are
supporting
a
vaccination
event
in
partnership
with
aki
out
of
the
moore
park
clinic,
including
door-to-door
canvassing
and
logistics
support.
Mailers
are
headed
out
to
all
of
the
housing
department's
mobile
home
parks
and
phone
banking
efforts
continue
to
reach
vulnerable
seniors
in
multiple
languages.
A
Over
8
million
meals
were
served
so
far
in
san
jose
in
the
first
two
months
of
2021,
big
thanks
to
second
harvest
and
all
of
our
many
many
community
partners
who
are
out
there
doing
that
work.
We
made
sure
there
was
additional
meal
distribution
in
partnership
with
the
county
office
of
education
during
the
spring
breaks,
and
will
continue
to
do
that
during
all
of
the
subsequent
school
breaks
and
we've
had
a
large
number.
Several
hundred
volunteers
sign
up
through
silicon
valley,
strong
to
assist
with
food
distribution
and
vaccine
outreach.
A
The
following
changes
are
effective,
wednesday
march
3rd.
All
activities
authorized
under
the
state's
red
tier,
including
indoor
dining,
can
resume
in
accordance
with
the
state's
capacity
limits
and
safety
protocols,
including
the
following
indoor,
dining
at
a
maximum
of
25
capacity
or
100
people,
whichever
is
fewer
retail
stores
at
a
maximum
of
50
capacity.
A
Gyms
and
fitness
centers
at
a
maximum
of
10
capacity,
movie,
theaters,
25
capacity
or
100
people,
whichever
is
fewer
and
zoos,
museums
and
aquariums
at
25,
maximum
indoor
capacity
sector
and
activity.
Specific
local
directives
will
no
longer
be
ineffective,
but
the
mandatory
directive
on
travel
and
the
mandatory
directive
on
travel
will
no
longer
be,
in
effect,
we'll
provide
an
update
out
to
council
with
that
complete
information
shortly
in
the
community.
A
Individuals
are
now
eligible
for
vaccines
and
that
program
is
underway
under
the
leadership
of
the
county
starting
march
15th
people
ages,
16
to
64,
who
are
deemed
to
be
at
the
very
highest
risk
for
morbidity
and
mortality
from
coba
19
will
be
eligible,
there's
a
range
of
conditions
on
that
eligibility,
and
there
is,
of
course,
some
medical
discretion.
That's
allowed
to
qualify
who,
within
that
category
of
16
to
64
with
pre-existing
conditions
is
eligible.
A
So
right
now
I
want
to
turn
it
over
to
our
bina
chang,
who
is
our
director
of
intergovernmental
relations,
to
give
us
an
update
on
the
work
that's
going
on
in
washington
in
particular,
and
around
the
american
rescue
plan,
which
will
be
probably
our
last
big
funding
effort
and
will
be
the
impetus
and
the
main
thrust
of
our
work
around
community
and
economic
recovery.
So
bena,
please
take
it
away.
C
Thank
you
kip
good
afternoon,
council
benefit
director
of
intergovernmental
relations
for
the
city
of
san
jose
next
slide.
Please
here,
as
kit
mentioned,
just
to
provide
a
quick
update
on
the
next
federal
stimulus
package.
Before
I
start,
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
two
key
takeaways
that
I
hope
you
get
from
today.
First,
is
that
this
package
is
not
yet
vinyl.
C
So,
as
you
have
heard,
the
saturday
the
house
passed
the
1.9
trillion
dollar
american
rescue
plan,
mostly
along
party
lines.
Their
intent
through
this
package
was
generally
to
fund
existing
programs
versus
starting
new
programs,
which
takes
a
little
bit
more
time
to
start
up.
So
the
idea
is
to
fund
existing
programs
and
to
get
the
money
out
faster,
starting
this
week,
senate
will
take
up
the
house
pass
bill
and
will
make
changes
to
the
package
that
will
then
go
back
to
the
house
for
concurrence.
C
So
this
next
slide
lists
some
key
elements
of
the
house
package
that
would
go
directly
to
our
residents,
businesses
or
to
the
city.
The
package
includes
several
priority
areas
for
the
city,
including
emergency
rental,
assistance,
funding,
homeless,
program,
funding,
child
care
assistance
and
airport
funding.
A
particular
note.
The
house
package
also
includes
350
billion
dollars
for
state
and
local
governments.
We
have
seen
different
estimates
on
what
the
city
of
san
jose
will
receive
from
the
house
committee
on
oversight
and
reform.
But
generally
those
figures
are
in
the
200
million
range.
C
C
There's
no
deadline
by
which
we
need
to
spend
the
money.
And
again
I
just
want
to
emphasize
again
that
this
is
likely
the
last
flexible
local
government
funding
coming
from
the
federal
government,
and
then
we
anticipate
revenue
decreases.
The
community
needs
to
last
for
several
years.
So
again,
we
need
to
make
this
money
last
us
for
a
while
as
well.
C
C
We're
also
hearing
in
the
senate
that
there
are
calls
to
put
additional
guard
rails
around
the
state
and
local
government
funding.
So
we
anticipate
that
there
might
be
additional
restrictions
on
what
we
can
use
that
money
for
and
then
finally,
some
of
the
program
rules
will
also
be
subject
to
future
guidelines
from
the
administration
similar
to
how
the
cares
act.
Funding
was
ruled
out,
we'll
continue
to
keep
council
informed
as
congress
finalizes
negotiations
on
the
package
and
then.
C
A
A
Next,
it's
my
pleasure
to
introduce
carolina
camarena,
our
both
emergency
public
information
officer
and
communications
director
carolina
and
her
team
have
crafted
an
approach
that
starts
with
the
people,
who
need
to
be
reached,
the
most
where
they
are
and
in
the
languages
that
they
think
and
speak
most
comfortably,
and
I
think
this
this
approach
is
bearing
fruit.
She'll
walk
you
through
the
details
of
that
and
the
results
of
her
and
her
team's
effort
in
this
presentation.
Take
it
away
carolina.
B
Some
lessons
learned
in
our
next
steps.
So
I'd
like
to
start
with
a
quick
recap
of
what
we've
shared
with
you.
Over
the
past
seven
months
in
early
fall,
we
outlined
a
strategic
communications
plan
explaining
that
we
would
focus
our
content
and
budget
on
the
people
and
businesses
and
our
hardest
hits
subcoats
and
our
monolingual
non-english
speakers.
B
Essentially,
we
planned
a
public
health
campaign
that
typically
takes
years
or
even
decades,
to
change
behavior
now,
given
that
we
expected
the
expiration
date
of
the
federal
coronavirus
relief
funds,
we
had
less
than
a
few
months
to
implement
our
tactics
and
a
few
more
months
to
have
those
tactics
circulate
in
the
community
next
slide.
Please
thank
you
and
late
fall.
We
presented
the
material
we
developed,
they
were
transcreated,
meaning
they
were
developed
in
language
with
cultural
sensitivity
and
relevance
both
in
the
wording
and
the
imagery.
B
B
Banners
went
up
at
community
centers
and
school
sites
and
are
targeted
sip
coats.
I
do
want
to
thank
the
department
of
parks,
recreation,
neighborhood
services
and
our
department
of
transportation
for
assisting
with
those
efforts.
Ads
went
up
at
strategically
chosen
bus,
shelters
and
small
billboards
around
the
city
in
those
zip
codes.
We
also
had
shopping
cart,
ads
directing
people
to
testing,
but
also
providing
them
information
on
food
resources
and
those
were
launched
and
four
food
max
stores
located
in
the
zip
codes
that
are
affected.
B
B
And
working
with
our
office
of
economic
development,
development
and
the
community
and
economic
recovery
branch
we
reached
out
to
small
businesses
to
offer
them
a
frames,
10
cards
and
window
posters
as
we
moved
into
the
state's
orange
tier
in
october.
Using
businesses
as
a
touch
points
for
spreading
awareness
of
health
and
economic
resources
seemed
a
solid
strategy
for
both
our
community
and
their
employees.
B
Unfortunately,
the
county
health
order
issued
on
november
28th
and
the
subsequent
state
regional
stay-at-home
order
issued
on
december
17th
curtailed
our
ability
to
deliver
the
materials,
but
in
any
case,
many
of
those
businesses
were
operating
under
limited
hours
and
capacity
with
no
use
for
say
tabletop
materials
and
they
had
minimal
contact
with
customers.
But
we
still
had
another
mechanism
to
reach
people
directly.
B
So
we
continued
with
our
campaign
through
the
ethnic
broadcast
print
media
and
online.
We
know
that
we
are
reaching
our
target
that
we
are
reaching
our
target
demographic
through
both
quantitative
and
anecdotal
evidence.
For
example,
the
community
and
economic
recovery
branch
heard
from
some
of
our
target
businesses
that
they
received
and
appreciated
multilingual
information
about
financial
assistance
and
other
resources
they
were
receiving
from
the
office
of
economic
development
and
our
partners
in
the
county
confirmed
that
our
materials
were
driving
anywhere
from
30
to
80.
B
D
Thank
you
carlina,
the
mayor
and
council,
I'm
colin
haney,
I'm
the
co-lead
of
the
epio.
I
wanted
to
talk
about
some
of
the
quantitative
data.
We've
done
an
extensive
analysis
of
the
impacts
of
our
digital
broadcast
and
print
media,
using
conservative
estimates
and
projections
from
our
media
vendors.
I'd
like
to
share
just
a
few
examples
of
what
those
tactics
have
achieved.
D
We've
seen
roughly
34.4
million
impressions
through
print
media
trilingual
ads
make
up
the
bulk
of
that
at
22.8
million
spanish
monolingual
ads
account
for
7.6
million
of
those
impressions,
vietnamese
2.3
million
and
chinese
1.5
million
impressions.
24.1
million
of
those
impressions
were
in
our
target
zip
codes.
D
We
also
play
facebook
and
youtube
video
ads,
pushing
people
to
our
virtual
local
assistance
center,
which
is
updated
regularly,
contains
help
for
residents,
businesses,
renters,
homeowners,
immigrants
and
more.
The
ads
ran
in
three
languages
and
the
increased
page
views
for
our
spanish
vietnamese
and
chinese
vlac
pages
between
500
and
700.
Between
november
and
december.
D
D
This
omni-channel
approach
is
more
successful
than
the
sum
of
its
parts.
Next
slide
please,
but
none
of
this
has
happened
in
isolation.
Our
partners
at
the
county,
epio,
have
managed
a
wide-ranging
campaign
as
well
and
they've
been
excellent
at
sending
out
translated
digital
outreach,
toolkits
weekly
for
other
agencies
to
use
on
the
ground.
Nine
of
our
own
code
enforcement
officers
have
been
visiting
small
businesses
since
the
beginning
of
february,
primarily
in
an
advisory
capacity.
D
This
efforts
focused
primarily
on
the
most
trafficked
areas
in
the
most
vulnerable,
zip
codes
and
census,
tracts
it
included
east
side,
san
jose,
grand
central
mall
and
smaller
retail
districts
in
council
districts.
Three
five
and
seven.
As
of
february
25th,
our
code
enforcement
officers
had
conducted
visits
to
over
1200
businesses.
D
Our
eoc
outreach
and
education
team
is
now
also
visiting
small
businesses
with
the
help
of
multiple
council
office
staffers,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
for
assisting
with
those
staffers
they're
distributing
the
tent
cards,
a
frame
signs
and
posters
that
had
been
previously
scheduled
for
distribution
and
they're,
also
bringing
preparedness
kits,
which
include
a
mask
hand,
sanitizer
resource
information
and
now
vaccine
information
and
our
office
of
economic
development
has
been
a
lifeline
to
small
businesses.
Throughout
this
crisis
we
work
closely
with
them.
D
Their
information
goes
out
through
our
communications
and
in
turn,
our
communications
point,
business
owners
to
their
online
and
phone
resources.
A
postcard
that
we
sent
out
to
small
businesses
got
us
a
75
to
100
increase
in
calls
to
their
resource
phone
line.
The
very
next
week
are
hosting
our
customer
safety
toolkit
on
the
sj
economy
website,
so
businesses
can
help
us
share
health
messaging
and
other
communications
with
their
employees
and
customers
next
slide.
D
D
These
maps
covid,
spread
on
the
top
and
vaccine
distribution
on
the
bottom,
highlight
the
significant
disparities
between
communities
and
illustrate
how
important
it
is
to
get
people
the
information
they
need,
so
they
can
take
advantage
of
the
vaccination
opportunities
as
they
arise.
Of
course,
communication
can
only
go
so
far.
There
needs
to
be
sufficient
supply
of
vaccine
nearby
vaccine
sites
and
transportation
to
those
sites,
with
the
first
round
of
phone
banking,
complete
and
more
underway
right
now,
we're
planning
for
another
round
of
media
buys
that
that
will
include
ethnic
radio
and
tv.
D
We
can
focus
this
distribution
even
more
precisely
now
that
the
county
is
tracking
data
by
census
tract
and
providing
it
publicly
as
new
vaccine
clinics
open
or
no
shows
leave
clinics
with
unused
doses,
we
will
micro
target
communities
with
messaging
to
make
sure
these
opportunities
are
not
wasted,
and
this
is
an
area
where
we
really
need
your
help.
Council
members
and
mayor
through
small
scale
community.
Pardon
me,
those
small-scale
community
vaccine
clinics
are
open
to
any
eligible
member
of
the
public
they're
located
with
the
intention
of
serving
the
surrounding
community.
D
The
situation
is
too
dynamic
for
print
and
broadcast
communications,
and
though
online
outreach
is
quick,
it's
nimble,
but
it's
less
likely
to
reach
target
communities,
so
we've
begun
reaching
out
to
your
offices
with
developments
as
we
hear
about
them
from
the
county
vaccine
opportunities.
No
shows
asking
for
your
assistance
reaching
the
surrounding
community
by
tapping
into
your
existing
networks
and
supplementing
that
outreach
with
with
targeted
announcements
on
nextdoor
from
us.
We
hope
to
bring
awareness
of
these
local
resources
to
the
communities
they
are
intended
for
in
a
timely
way.
