From YouTube: 4/6/21 | City Mgr. Dave Sykes presents City's Response to COVID-19 & Continuity of Operations Plan
Description
San José City Council April 6, 2021 Meeting, Agenda Item 3.1
B
B
One
of
those
important
characteristics
is
closing
the
links
between
our
mitigation,
our
preparedness,
our
response
and
our
recovery,
and
so
we'll
go
over
that
today,
a
majority
of
the
last
14
months
for
our
city.
We
have
spent
in
a
response
phase,
one
that
lasted
longer
than
we
could
have
foreseen
and
so
the
shifts
of
resources,
our
community
and
personnel.
From
one
of
response
to
recovery.
B
B
106
160
of
these
volunteers
have
been
trained
and
taken
the
disaster
service
of
worker
to
help
with
our
vaccine
or
vaccine
outreach
in
support
of
the
county
we've
also
with
our
emergency
rental
assistant
team.
Since
this
item
was
in
front
of
council
on
march
23rd,
I've
reached
agreement
with
the
state
of
california
regarding
the
program
and
its
alignment
to
the
state
and
local
programs.
B
B
Following
the
states
of
california's
announcement
that
santa
clara
county
has
met
the
requirements
to
move
into
the
orange
tier
of
the
state's
blueprint
for
a
safer
economy,
the
county
and
the
county
of
santa
clara's
health
officer
announced
that
the
county
would
align
with
the
state's
framework
and
allow
activities
in
the
orange
tier
to
resume
effective
wednesday.
The
23rd
these
activities
constitute
changes
in
indoor
dining
retail
stores,
with
modification
gyms
and
fitness
centers
movie
theaters,
family
entertainment
centers,
as
well
as
zoos,
museums
and
aquariums.
B
Lastly,
as
of
noon
today,
the
governor
announced
that
the
state's
next
steps
in
the
coca-19
pandemic
recovery
would
begin
to
move
forward
and
the
state
will
be
reopened
by
june
15th
if
two
critical
or
two
criterias
are
met.
The
first
is
if
vaccine
supply
is
sufficient
for
californians
16
years
and
older,
who
wish
to
be
vaccinated,
and
second
hospitalization
rates
are
stable
and
low.
Again,
this
came
out
at
noon
today
and,
as
the
plan
was
just
released,
we
will
continue
to
analyze
this
get
additional
information
and
communicate
out
directly
to
the
council
in
the
community.
B
As
of
april
1st,
the
county
released
32
000
appointments
for
people
50
and
older
that
are
now
eligible.
However,
the
county
cost
the
the
county
cautions
that
santa
clara
county
has
upwards
of
over
400
000
residents,
they're
between
the
ages
of
50
and
60,
and
while
having
to
continue
getting
vaccinations
to
eligible
populations
that
were
previously
in
the
expansion.
B
B
B
So,
as
I
mentioned
before,
for
the
last
14
months
or
a
year,
everyone's
been
in
response
mode
as
we
detailed
in
a
study
session
before
the
pandemic,
with
the
mayor
and
council,
a
tabletop
exercise
around
the
emergency
operations
center
and
how
it
functions,
responses,
usually,
compromise
comprise
of
coordination
and
management
of
resources,
including
personnel
equipment
and
supplies,
and
in
all
hazards,
earthquake,
man-made
or
a
global
pandemic,
and
measures
are
taken
to
protect
life,
property
and
environmental
safety.
I.
B
Yes-
and
we
actually
have
heart
on
this
slide,
which
should
be
shown
and
not
skip
so
so
we
are
going
to
start
our
shift
into
the
recovery
process
within
emergency
management
in
our
cycles.
Recovery
does
overlap
with
the
response,
and
it
consists
of
those
activities
that
continue
beyond
an
emergency
period
to
restore
critical
community
functions
and
begin
to
manage
stabilization
efforts.
The
recovery
phase
ramps
up
after
a
response
is
done
and
the
threat
to
human
life
has
subsided.
B
The
goal
of
the
recovery
process
is
to
bring
those
affected
areas
and
people
back
to
some
degree
of
normalcy,
including
essential
services,
any
physical
repair
and
community
and
economic
damages.
Everyone
is
eager
for
recovery
with
the
vaccines
now
beginning
to
be
administered,
and
hopefully,
ramping
up
soon.
Recovery
has
come
into
view
for
many.
B
The
community
and
economic
challenges
emerging
in
the
wake
of
proven
19
have
been
well
documented
and
appeared
daunting.
Therefore,
our
recovery
planning
needs
to
be
focused
and
begin
now
for
us
to
get
to
full-blown
recovery
and
for
us
to
fully
step
into
that
space.
There's
two
important
elements:
getting
vaccines
for
everyone
in
our
community
who
want
them
and
starting
to
transition,
our
organization
and
resources
to
those
roadmap
activities.
B
B
Around
advocacy
we're
working
hard
to
advocate
for
our
community
to
receive
the
equity-based
allocation
from
the
state.
Some
of
the
work
this
past
month
that
we've
engaged
in
is
supporting
and
advocating
alongside
this
county
of
santa
clara,
as
well
as
other
bay
area,
counties
and
other
nonprofits,
to
ensure
that
vulnerable
communities,
highly
impacted
by
coven
19,
have
equitable
access
to
vaccinations.
A
B
Analysis
and
local
population
statistics
to
letters
that
have
been
sent
to
the
state
and
the
governor
and
the
legislature,
and
we
are
ensuring
that
vulnerable
communities
aren't
left
behind
by
the
state's
distribution
plan.
We've
also
sent
dozens
of
letters
to
various
state
officials
and
have
been
on
call
with
the
county
to
take
advocacy
actions
when
requested
by
the
county,
while
advocating
for
higher
access
for
vaccine
supply.
B
Kaiser
is
currently
operating
a
vaccination
clinic
at
the
vietnamese
american
cultural
center
with
a
commitment
to
vaccinate
all
eligible
populations,
especially
those
in
the
surrounding
area.
As
of
yesterday,
150
of
our
emts
and
paramedics
in
the
san
jose
fire
department
have
been
trained
through
the
injection
training
program
to
build
capacity
to
support
the
counties.
The
county
and
our
health
care
partners
and
I'll
speak
about
that
later.
B
Around
specific
sites
we've
been
able
to
reach
over
8
000
residents
in
the
last
month
and
I'll
dive
into
some
of
these
activities.
Now,
as
I
mentioned,
adding
capacity
is
a
key
tenant
of
our
economic
recovery
and
to
support
this
we've
partnered
with
several
federal
state
and
local
entities,
in
addition
to
our
health
care
partners
to
help
vaccinate
our
vulnerable
communities
with
aki.
We've
worked
with
this
federally
qualified
healthcare
center
specializing
in
delivery
of
support
services
with
three
large
areas
of
three
large
events.
B
Vaccinating
roughly
a
thousand
people
in
the
last
month,
and
as
I've
mentioned
with
kaiser
permanente,
we
are
operating
a
community-wide
center,
not
exclusively
for
kaiser
patients.
I
should
say
at
the
vietnamese
cultural
center
we
are
starting
with
capacity
for
500
vaccinations
per
day
with
the
intent
to
scale
as
supply
increases,
and
our
teams
are
working
hard
to
ensure
availability
of
vietnamese,
spanish
speaking
staff
and
language
access,
materials
and
information,
and
all
materials
are
abundant
at
this
site.
B
95116-113-127-122-121
this
program,
vaccinates
in-home
or
home-bound
individuals,
as
defined
by
medicare.
The
county
currently
has
oversight
of
this
program
and
we're
supporting
this
with
our
injectors
through
san
jose
fire,
as
the
county
has
communicated
to
us
that
this
program
will
expand
and
scale
as
additional
supply
of
the
vaccine
vaccine
continues
to
grow
in
the
county.
B
B
To
do
this,
as
we've
talked
with
you,
as
we
start
to
reopen
and
move
through,
the
orange
tier,
some
of
our
own
employees
that
are
currently
on
staff
will
be
redeployed
back
to
services
that
are
opening
up
in
our
own
city,
so
we're
placing
special
emphasis
on
the
second
phase,
and
so
we
have
been
advertising
for
positions
that
we
would
hire
and
then
send
to
the
county
to
capacity
at
our
site.
Thank
several
of
the
council
offices
for
getting
word
outs.
B
Mobilizing
engages
our
hardest
our
hardest
hit
communities
is
our
last
body
of
work
within
this
program.
As
I
mentioned
before,
we
are
doing
extensive
lip
drops
in
some
of
our
hard
hit
census,
tracts
around
eastridge
and
vaccination
locations
with
throughout
east
side,
with
collateral
in
all
relevant
languages.
B
B
These
activities
have
been
in
multi-language
and
have
reached
thousands
of
our
most
vulnerable
residents.
You
know
it
should
be
noted.
This
targeted
approach
has
shown
very
positive
results.
You
know
compared
to
the
rest
of
the
county
dashboard,
and
so
we
have
been
in
conversations
with
the
county
as
the
access
to
vaccine
continues
to
increase.
B
B
Phase
for
our
own
employees,
as
we've
reported
out
last
month,
many
have
become
eligible
with
the
state
and
county
guidelines
to
receive
their
vaccination.
We've
completed
all
pde
and
fire
sworn
personnel
who
wanted
to
get
vaccinated
and
we've
started.
Vaccinating
non-sworn
city
employees
who
are
eligible
as
of
february
25th
as
eligibility
continues
to
increase
and
the
county
has
kept
the
first
responder
clinic
open
at
the
fairgrounds
we've
been
able
to
push
over
800
employees
to
get
their
first
doses
at
that
site.
B
B
Turning
to
funding
a
little
bit
of
a
recap,
but
since
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
congress
has
passed
six
different
covid
stimulus
packages
with
the
most
recent
being
the
1.9
trillion
dollar
package
entitled
the
american
rescue
plan
at
a
state
level.
The
legislature
has
approved
more
than
13
billion
in
covid
response
funding
through
budget
actions
earlier
this
year
or
early
budget
actions,
and
we
anticipate
additional
money
through
the
regular
budget
process
from
the
state,
as
well
as
a
city.
B
We've
used
equity
as
a
primary
driver
for
how
our
emergency
relief
funding
is
prioritized
and
programmed
to
help
the
most
vulnerable.
So
too
does
equity
drive
our
future
advocacy
efforts
surrounding
implementation
and
guidance
and
securing
additional
funding.
As
we
look
forward,
we
have
two
major
advocacy
buckets,
first,
being
the
different
funding
costs
within
the
american
rescue
plan.
As
federal
agencies
begin
to
implement
this
plan,
we
will
need
to
ensure
that
san
jose
and
our
communities
in
greatest
need
have
funding.
B
Some
near-term
opportunities
include
the
rollout
which
just
happened
of
the
emergency
rental
assistance
program,
broadband
program,
local
assist
local
fiscal
recovery
funds
and
all
of
the
different
guidance
that
federal
departments
will
be
laying
out.
The
second
involves
a
projected
40
billion
dollar
surplus
at
the
state,
26
billion
of
which
is
the
state's
share
of
the
american
rescue
plan
and
we're
working
with
several
different
coalitions,
including
the
league
of
cities
and
big
city
mayors,
to
dedicate
a
significant
portion
of
this
surplus
to
our
local
homeless
programs.
B
There
are
a
host
of
other
opportunities
in
this
area
that
we
are
engaging
on
related
to
child
care,
funding,
low
income,
water
assistance
funding
and
emergency
rental
housing
programs
just
to
name
a
few
and
lastly,
and
importantly,
the
city
is
about
halfway
through
with
our
mapping
exercise
to
identify
additional
funding.
Sources
to
pressing
city
needs,
the
city
staff
and
our
ernst
young
consultants
are
building
a
funding
matrix
to
match
city
needs
and
city
direction
to
alternative
funding
sources.
B
The
most
we'll
continue
to
update
the
mayor
and
council
as
additional
federal
departments
working
on
guidance,
release
that
guidance
and
I'll
come
back
to
the
budget
process
and
and
how
we
will
move
forward
with
that
at
the
end
of
the
presentation
for
our
last
bucket
and
how
we
will
start
to
demobilize
our
emergency
response.
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
our
director
of
our
office
of
emergency
management,
ray
rudin.
A
Good
afternoon,
you
think
I
know
how
to
do
this
after
a
year,
but
listed
me
button
good
afternoon,
I'm
ray
reardon,
the
director
of
the
city,
manager's
office
of
emergency
management
and,
as
leigh's
been
identifying
this,
we
are
moving
into
our
demobilization
phase
and,
as
you
also
described
the
diagram
you
see
here,
emergency
management
is
a
cycle
of
five
phases,
prevention,
mitigation,
preparedness
response
and
recovery,
and
that
continues
that
cycle
going
for
each
hazard
that
we
face
within
each
phase.
There
are
detailed
standard
activities
for
response.
A
A
A
A
A
Demobilization
does
not
mean
we
are
stopping
today
with
all
this
great
work.
It
does
not
mean
we're
closing
the
eoc
today.
In
fact,
we
move
into
recovery.
Some
of
the
programs,
as
we've
mentioned,
will
continue
to
operate
outside
the
normal
department
operations,
for
example
the
food
operations.
This
will
continue
as
we
stand
at
the
recovery
team.
A
A
A
At
the
same
time,
kit,
lee
jay
and
I
have
been
paying
attention
to
the
other
conditions
that
we
are
facing
and
certainly
will
have
some
action
coming
up
with
the
current
derek
caban
trial.
There
is
real
potential
for
civil
unrest
with
this
dry
weather,
wildfire
and
psp
events
are
looming
and,
of
course,
as
we
have
all
these
earthquake
fault
zones
here
in
san
jose,
go
ahead
and
pick
your
old
favorite
fault.
B
B
We've
talked
a
little
bit
during
3.1
about
responding
or
our
responses
about
doing
and
recovery
is
doing
with
and
much
throughout
the
year.
In
our
emergency
operations
center
we
run
an
incident
command
system
and
that's
how
we
communicate.
However,
recovery
is
much
different
and
for
recovery
for
our
community
and
organization
to
be
successful
in
recovery.
This
joint
recovery
must
be
embedded
into
core
work
that
the
city
does
every
day,
as
rays
mentioned
over
the
next
several
months.
B
B
Our
roadmap
is
our
priority
projects,
strategies
and
policies
at
a
high
level,
as
we
start
to
begin
more
detailed
discussions
about
each
of
these
items
in
the
roadmap,
as
well
as
the
recovery
phase.
Overall,
the
administration
will
be
returning
to
council.
We
are
fortunate
that
the
funding
from
both
federal
and
state
governments
has
been
substantial.
