Description
San José City Council November 30, 2021 Meeting, Agenda Item 3.1
B
There
we
go.
Thank
you
good
morning,
mayor
and
council,
lee
wilcox
assistant
city
manager
and
joining
me
for
the
presentation.
Today
is
dolan
beckel
interim
deputy
city
manager
and
our
operations,
section
chief
in
the
eoc
alvin
galang
assistant
to
the
city
manager
and
our
vaccination
task
force
director
and
sarah
zarate,
our
office
of
administration
policy
and
intergovernmental
relations.
B
Yeah,
so
with
previous
reports,
we're
going
to
focus
on
four
subjects
today
and
really
try
and
focus
the
conversation
around.
What's
changed,
what's
driving
that
change
and
anything
that's
new
or
that
we'll
be
working
on
in
the
months
to
come,
we're
going
to
start
with
some
highlights,
and
recent
trends
related
to
kovan,
19,
globally
and
locally
updates
around
the
vaccination
task
force.
Sarah
will
update
on
some
advocacy
efforts
that
we're
taking
on
now,
as
well
as
kind
of
integrating
some
of
our
response
and
recovery
efforts,
which
we
briefly
touched
upon
last
time.
B
I
did
want
to
start.
However,
we
had
gotten
away
from
this
in
previous
three
point
ones,
but
highlighting
some
of
the
good
work,
and
while
we
reported
out
to
you
last
time
that
our
city
was
95
vaccinated
or
those
12
and
over
at
least
had
one
dose
95
percent
in
these
reports
and
in
our
actions
in
the
eoc,
we're
obvi
we're
taking
more
of
our
time,
focusing
on
the
other
five
percent
and
rightfully
so.
That
is
our
way
out
of
the
pandemic
and
protecting
our
residents.
B
B
B
B
A
A
So
it
was
about
three
weeks
ago
that
the
global
situation
with
covet
19
began
to
change
these
key
changes
included.
One
austria,
where
66
percent
of
the
total
population
is
fully
vaccinated,
is
implementing
lockdown
procedures.
Germany,
where
67
percent
of
the
total
population
is
fully
vaccinated
and
denmark,
where
76
percent
of
the
total
population
is
fully
vaccinated.
A
A
Travel
restrictions
are
being
implemented
and
as
early
as
an
hour
ago,
the
source
location
of
the
omicron
variant
is
now
in
question.
So
I
would
recommend
anyone
traveling
internationally,
be
sure
to
go
to
the
center
for
disease
control
travel
website,
because
that
will
probably
be
changing
on
a
daily
basis.
I
would
also,
of
course,
check
our
county
for
any
local
guidelines
as
well,
the
world
health
organization
or
who
is
classifying
omicron
as
a
variant
of
concern,
while
here
in
the
united
states,
the
cdc
has
not
yet
classified
this
variant.
A
However,
as
president
biden
said
yesterday,
sorry
flip
the
page
too
soon.
However,
as
pride
and
biden
said
yesterday,
the
united
states,
locked
lockdown
and
shelter-in-place
policies
are
not
expected
in
the
united
states,
where
59
percent
of
the
total
population
is
fully
vaccinated.
The
federal
government
is
pursuing
a
national
coven
19
response
policy,
which
had
some
setbacks
last
week,
and
sarah
zarate
will
also
be
talking
about
that.
So
the
bottom
line
is
the
covet
19
delta
variant
surge
continues
globally,
while
a
new
and
potentially
impactful
variant
like
omicron,
can
emerge.
A
Currently,
in
the
united
states,
the
delta
variant
remains
the
only
variant
of
concern
or
high
consequence
as
classified
by
the
cdc.
The
cdc
is
currently
evaluating
the
omicron
variant
and
it
will
be
added
if
the
cdc
determines
it
is
appropriate.
It
is
expected
that
eventually,
the
variant
will
be
detected
here
in
the
united
states.
Currently
as
last
time,
there
are
no
variants
of
interest
and
there
are
10
variants
are
being
monitored,
none
of
which
pose
significant
public
health
risk.
A
The
united
states,
california
and
santa
clara
county
remain
in
the
substantial
or
orange
community
transmission
level,
but,
as
you
can
see
on
the
map
for
the
state
of
california,
more
progress
has
been
made
in
the
bay
area,
but
california
and
santa
clara
county
remain
in
orange
or
substantial
transmission.
California
does
have
the
lowest
case
rate
nationally,
and
67.5
percent
of
the
total
population
in
california
have
been
fully
vaccinated.
A
Moving
to
the
local
level,
as
reported
last
time
on
october,
26,
county
positive
cases
and
deaths
have
flattened
out
relative
to
significant
wave
number
four
last
winter.
They
have
not,
unfortunately,
returned
to
the
single
digit
level.
We
saw
before
the
arrival
of
the
delta
variant
in
july
at
our
last
report.
Councilman
raynus
requested
that
we
show
the
change
in
deaths
related
to
covet
19
and
since
our
last
report,
unfortunately,
the
county
has
averaged
about
two
deaths
a
day
due
to
covet
19..
A
A
We
did
see
a
25
increase
in
cases
since
our
last
report
on
october
26,
and
we
continue
to
monitor
the
case
rate
and
the
deaths
and
will
include
any
omicron
variant
impacts
that
have
not
yet
been
observed
here.
Locally,
hospitalizations
and
icu
bed
are
currently
stable
compared
to
last
report,
but
again
they're
only
28
percent
of
what
we
had
available
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic.
This
situation
has
not
changed
much
since
our
last
update
the
city
of
san
jose's,
full
vaccination
rate
for
ages,
12
and
above
is
89.5
percent.
A
A
A
The
vaccination
rates
continue
to
head
in
the
right
direction
and
of
course,
we
have
to
focus
continue
to
focus
on
that
five
percent
and
those
census
tracts
where
we
have
low
vaccination
rates,
and
that
will
continue
to
be
the
focus
of
our
vaccination
team.
That
alvin
will
be
talking
about
shortly
in
terms
of
the
criteria
to
lift
indoor
health
orders
on
masking.
While
the
county
has
made
good
progress
on
certain
areas,
we
still
have
much
more
work
ahead
of
us
with
three
of
the
four
criteria
not
being
met.
A
As
lee
said
lee
wilcox
said
earlier,
it
takes
a
team
and
all
the
residents,
healthcare
workers,
healthcare
partners
and
city
employees
should
be
very
proud
of
the
fact
that
the
city
of
san
jose
remains
the
most
vaccinated
city
within
the
top
10
largest
united
states
cities.
There
was
some
question
about
this
from
a
certain
council
member
last
time
we
met,
so
I
refreshed
the
data
and
we
remain
at
412
and
above
the
highest
vaccinated
of
the
top
10
cities
at
95.3
percent.
A
C
Thank
you
dolan
good
morning,
honorable
mayor
city,
council
and
members
of
the
public.
My
name
is
alvin
goulang
and
I'm
the
director
of
the
city
of
san
jose's
vaccination
task
force.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
an
update
on
the
task
force's
role
in
ensuring
that
the
residents
of
san
jose
are
kept
as
safe
and
healthy
as
possible,
as
well
as
an
update
on
pediatric
vaccinations
among
our
five
to
11
year
olds
and
new
eligibility
criteria
for
booster
shots.
C
As
seen
earlier,
the
city
of
san
jose
has
89.5
89.5
completed
vaccination
rate
for
ages,
12
and,
above
again,
as
a
reminder,
we
will
be
presenting
the
data
moving
forward
as
available
that
focuses
on
completed
vaccinations
to
align
with
the
criteria
to
lift
the
indoor
masking
mandate
at
several
of
the
vaccination
clinics
that
the
city
has
coordinated
directly
with
the
county
public
health
department.
We
have
seen
triple
digit
attendance,
for
instance,
at
m
approach
farm
in
park.
C
C
C
Folks
are
going
to
want
to
gather
more
indoors
and
gather
more
with
family
and
friends
to
feel
that
greater
sense
of
normalcy,
so
with
that
they're
looking
to
protect
themselves,
their
family
and
their
friends
by
getting
a
vaccination
what's
new
county
public
health
and
the
office
of
education
has
designated
the
city's
role
to
focus
primarily
on
communications
and
outreach
to
our
most
vulnerable
populations,
particularly
among
the
newly
eligible
5
to
11
year
olds.
The
city
will
focus
on
connecting
with
and
informing
those
that
have
agency
over
children.
C
We
are
extending
a
pause
on
our
wireless
emergency
alerts
since
we
are
currently
experiencing
high
participation
at
our
clinics.
Also,
the
county
has
not
made
any
direct
requests
for
the
alerts
at
this
time.
However,
if
or
when
the
numbers
do
fall,
or
should
the
county
make
a
request,
we
will
reevaluate
and
reinstitute
the
wireless
emergency
alerts
as
appropriate.
C
These
are
additional
numbers
that
illustrate
the
vaccination
rate
by
race
and
ethnicity,
ethnicity.
In
santa
clara
county.
During
our
september
council
update,
we
had
presented
these
numbers
based
on
the
data
that
was
made
available,
which,
at
the
time
reflected
ages,
12
and
up
with
at
least
one
dose.
C
The
numbers
that
you
see
today
reflect
ages
5
and
up
with
at
least
one
dose
and
so
again
aligning
more
with
the
population
that
is
currently
eligible.
As
mentioned
before.
The
city
of
san
jose
has
a
89.5
vaccination
rate,
city
residents,
age,
12
and
up
that
have
completed
their
vaccinations
and
through
direct
partnerships
with
the
county
and
our
other
partner
providers.
We
have
delivered
nearly
30
000
vaccinations
to
date
and
we
have
had
2.36
million
resident
impressions
through
our
digital
vaccine
outreach
efforts.
C
Our
current
efforts
in
the
county
of
santa
clara
or
our
current
efforts.
City-Wide,
we
have
24.7
percent
of
our
five
to
11
year
old
population
that
have
received
at
least
one
dose
and
our
kids
have
been
receiving
their
vaccinations
through
the
county
of
santa
clara
46.8
percent,
which
includes
county
health
and
hospital
systems
and
our
mobile
vaccination
clinics
at
the
schools
and
our
community
locations.
C
With
the
boosters,
originally
the
cdc
recommended
boosters
for
those
50
and
above
or
18
and
above
in
long-term
care
settings
and
those
18
between
18
and
50,
based
on
their
individual
risks.
However,
it
has
been
expanded
to
all
adults.
Bottom
line
is
just
all
adults.
Anyone,
age,
18
and
over
and
six
months
have
passed
since
they've
completed
their
vaccination
with
moderna
or
pfizer,
or
two
months
have
passed
since
they've
completed
their
vaccinations
with
johnson
and
johnson,
and
I
believe
sarah
will
talk
a
little
bit
more
on
advocacy.
So
I'll
turn
the
presentation
over
to
sarah.
D
B
Thank
you.
Sarah
just
wanted
to
end
on
some
integration
of
some
of
our
efforts
and,
and
obviously
a
lot
is
changing
and
and
changing
daily
and
weekly,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
we
learned
early
on
in
the
pandemic,
especially
when
there's
this
much
change
in
this
and
much
information
is
residents
can
be
overloaded.
Our
public
can
get
overloaded
with
information,
and
so
I
know
I
touched
upon
this
last
month,
but
we're
really
going
to
work
to
integrate
parallel
communication
efforts
to
our
residents
to
ensure.
B
So
I
wanted
to
talk
about
that
and
warn
you
under
carolina's
leadership,
she'll
be
doing
that
over
the
next
month,
along
with
the
recovery
section
with
rosalind
huey-
and
I
mentioned
that
because
I
think
one
of
the
more
successful
things
we've
done
is
carolina
every
week
sends
you
a
toolkit
or
communication
package
to
put
out
to
your
residence
and
by
the
way.
Thank
you
very
much
for
doing
that.
You
have
a
wide
network
as
well.
B
You'll
start
to
see
that
those
messages
are
going
to
change
and
they'll,
be
a
little
bit
more
concise
and
and
have
a
few
different
messages
versus
a
lot
of
different
messages
about
one
thing,
and
that
really
comes
from
the
behavioral
insights
work
that
we
did
early
on
in
the
pandemic,
as
well
as
the
county
and
other
partners,
and
this
is
really
an
effort
to
target
those
who
need
it.
The
most
with
the
most
important
messages.
