Thanks,

good
afternoon,,
honorable
mayor
city,
council,
members
of
the
public
and
city
staff.,
dolan
beckel,
here
interim
deputy
director,
excuse
me.,
there's
the
interim
deputy
city
manager
all
now
present
the
trans
and
covid
19
data
emphasizing
the
changes
since
our
last
cover
19
update
on
august
17th..
So
since
our.
C
Last
update
the
delta
variant,
the
most
serious
variant,
labeled,
a
variant
of
concern
remains
highly
transmissible
through
most
of
the
united
states,
as
seen
in
the
red
shading
here
on
the
cdc
map.,
and
it
remains
the
dominant
variant
in
the
united
states,
as
shown
in
the
orange
dotted
circle
pretty
much
in
the
center
of
the
screen..
The
bay
area
counties
are
faring
better
with
substantial,
but
not
high
transmission
rate
in
south
america
and
other
regions..
The
new
variant,
less
syrian's
variant
of
interest
is
being
watched
closely.
C
As
preliminary
data
indicates,
it
is
more
infectious
but
fortunately
less
transmissible
than
the
delta
variant..
The
overall
national
vaccine
rate
for
the
united
states
is
seventy
five
point,
one
percent,
far
from
the
90
percent.
We
need
to
be
ensured
of
herd
immunity
and
getting
our
way
out
of
the
corona
virus.
C
C
The
primary
indicators
of
the
stability
of
the
public
health
system
is
intensive
care
units
or
icu
bed
availability.
as
this
graph
shows,.
While
our
icu
bed
availability
has
been
relatively
stable
during
wave
four,
we
remain
at
only
24
percent
of
the
icu
beds
available
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic.
While
the
situation
is
currently
stable.,
the
county
does
not
have
a
large
contingency
to.
There
would
be
a
more
serious
variant
arise
during
the
winter
months
and
thus
requiring
a
major
countywide
surge
again
an
icu
bed
availability.,
since
our.
C
Last
update
both
the
county
and
the
city,
vaccination
rates
continue
to
increase..
The
city's
vaccination
rate
has
moved
from
eighty
five
point:
seven
percent
on
august
17th
to
ninety
two
point:
seven
percent
now
to
be
ninety
two
point:
five
percent
now
or
seven
percent
increase.,
the
county's
vaccination
rate
has
moved
from
eighty
point
three
to
eighty
eight
point:
four
or
an
eight
percent
increase
later
in
today's
update.,
our
eoc
vaccination
branch
director,
alvin
galang,
explained
the
city
and
the
counties
continued
commitment
to
the
ongoing
vaccination
drive.
It
should
be
noted..
C
C
C
and
second,
we
just
recently
signed
in
the
point
agreement
with
one
of
our
previous
eoc
data
analysts
who
will
be
starting
with
the
city
shortly
to
help
us
continue
our
efforts
in
reporting
clear
and
accurate
data.,
as
we
move
forward
with
these
eoc
updates,,
we'll
endeavor,
to
point
out
those
areas
where
we
are
clarifying
the
data
and
are
taking
any
action
to
correct
the
data..
There
were
some
questions
at
our
august
17th
meeting
about
the
data
on
this
page..
C
Our
public
health
efforts
continue
to
pay
off..
San
nsa
has
the
highest
vaccination
rate
in
the
nation
among
the
top
10
largest
united
states
cities,
which
is
probably
the
most
important
comparison,
giving
the
scale
and
complexity
of
the
cities..
The
source
of
this
data
is
my
eyeballs
on
the
data
on
the
specific
web
site,
so
I'm
very
confident
in
the
data
that's
being
presented
to
you
here..
So
this
concludes
our
presentation
on
the
latest
covid
19
data
and
trends.
I'll
now
turn
the
presentation
back
to
lee
wilcox..
I
believe
we
are.
D
Thank
you,,
lee.,
good
afternoon.,
honorable
mayor
city,
council
members,
members
of
the
public.,
my
name
is
alvin
galang
and
I
am
the
director
of
the
city's
vaccination
task
force
from
the
city
manager's
office
of
emergency
management..
As
you
can
see,
the
numbers
that
dolan
presented
numbers
wise.
We
are
headed
in
the
right
direction..
D
D
Actually,
ninety
two
point:
six
percent,
as
of
today.,
so
it
is
a
point
one
percent.
incremental
change.,
but
when
you
take
that
into
consideration
that
the
city
of
san
jose
has
a
population
of
nearly
a
million
people
or
over
a
million
people
that
point,
one
percent
accounts
for
a
thousand
folks,
right.,
a
thousand
potential
lives,,
a
thousand
potential
livelihood
that
we've
saved
since
july..
D
The
vaccination
task
force
has
been
daily
communications
with
the
county's
mobile
vaccination
team,
working
in
tandem
to
identify
locations
that
continue
to
experience
lower
vaccination
rates..
This
county
partnership
has
been
strengthened
by
the
increase
in
sustained
supply
of
enough
vaccine
and
the
refocus
of
vaccinations
from
the
larger
mass
vaccination
sites
to
these
mobile
pop
up
vaccination,
sites.
again,,
a
more
hyper
focused
locations,
hyper
focused.
D
Clinics
in
these
hard
to
serve
areas.,
so
I
would
like
to
take
an
opportunity
thank
santa
clara
county
public
health
department,
as
well
as
our
other
providers
for
their
continued
support
and
partnership..
So
what's
driving
the
change?
as
dolan
mentioned,,
the
delta
variance
is
driving
the
changed..
It
started
in
july.
D
D
September,
it
settled
back
down
to
two
thousand
five
hundred
vaccinations.,
so
what
we're
doing
is
we're
monitoring
the
decisions,,
the
direction
from
federal
government,
from
the
county
on
booster
doses
and,
of
course,
the
third
slash
additional
dose
doses
as
well.,
and
so
what's
new?
we
had
a
mid-august
peak
of
around
410.
D
Per
100000
and
it's
currently
down
to
under
two
hundred
per
100000.
when
talking
about
the
cover
19
rates
and
our
focused
communication
efforts,
which
will
be
covid
more
death
by
my
colleague
autumn
young
and
our
continued
dedication
to
serving
our
most
vulnerable
populations
within
the
high
priority
census.

What.
D
And
just
the
asian
population
has
had
some
minimum
minimal
increase
as
well.
the
city
of
san
jose
again
is
at
ninety
two
point:
six
percent
vaccination
rate
and
we've
had
increasing
in
the
vaccines
delivered
with
our
partners
as
well
as
increases
in
the
resident
impressions.

please.
D
What
you
see
in
front
of
you
are
the

or
the
current
census,
tracts

census

within
the
city
of
san
jose
that
have
lower
vaccination
rates
as
you'll
notice
and
as
dolan
had
pointed
out,.
There
are
some
discrepancies
with
particularly
alviso..
The
same
can
also
be
said
for
the
sun
neighborhoods
and
the
natalie
park
neighborhood,
specifically
the
sun
neighborhoods
and
the
natalie
park
neighborhoods..
D
D
D
E
Of
the
recovery
communications
team.,
you
heard
alvin
talk
about
our
remaining
unvaccinated
and
we
understand
that
there
may
be
not
able
to
get
or
may
not
trust
the
information
from
mainstream
platforms..
So
how
are
we
reaching
this
group??
It
really
requires
a
greater
investment
in
relational
capital..
That
means
engaging
our
trusted
messengers
to
encourage
vaccination..
Add
that
to
the.
E
Expiration
of
moratoriums
and
benefits.-
that's
really
driving
needs
include
recovery
information
along
with
our
vaccination
and
isolation
and
testing
information..
So
how
are
we
doing
that?
we're
working
with
our
trusted
partners
or
trusted
messengers
to
help
get
the
word
out
about
vaccination
recovery.,
and
you
see
some
of
those
listed
on
the
screen.
E
E
E
and
our
fabulous
integrity
partners
at
the
scene
as
a
fire
department
code
designed
banner,
which
you
also
see
on
your
screen,
that
will
go
on
all
of
our
30
fire
stations,
knowing
that
those
those
messengers
are
really
a
valuable
partner
in
the
community,
and
then
we've
got
our
trusted
redeploying
our
tactics
that
work
are
reactivating
our
spanish
language,
radio,
advertising
on
four
stations,
we're
doing
a
direct
mail
piece
that
actually
includes
recovery
resources,
along
with
vaccination
information
out
to
our
priority
neighborhoods.
and
as
alvin
mentioned,.
E
The
county
has
really
ramped
up
their
hyper
focused
clinic,
which
you
can
see
by
the
image
on
the
right
that
that
is
one
slide
for
two
days
of
vaccination
clinic
opportunities
that
we
are
creating
those
slides
and
then
in
concert.
The
county
is
creating
social
media
and
flyers
that
we're
able
to
get
out
to
the
community,
which
is
really
great
benefit..
They
didn't.
We
didn't
have
that
resource
before
and
that
takes
the
load
off
of
our
team.
slide.
E
Emergency
alert
system.
we
send
out
in
spanish
and
english
to
our
hardest
to
reach
residents.,
and
we
believe
these
are
actually
residents
that
wouldn't
get
the
message
otherwise,
and
it
works
to
get
vaccine
doses
in
arms..
You
can
see
the
quote
from
sue
ellen
haggerty
of
the
santa
clara
county
public
health
department
..
She
said
as
part
of
my
role
in
observation.
I
asked
almost
every
patient
how
they
heard
about
the
clinic
with
three
exceptions..
This
was
one
hundred
and
fifty
eight
vaccinations
with
three
exceptions..
E
Everyone
else
said
they
got
the
text
alert
on
their
phone.,
so
we're
here
saying
that
nearly
100
percent
of
the
patients
were
directed
to
their
vaccine
by
the
text
alert..
We
believe
the
text
alert
was
integral
to
the
successful
turnout
and
also
for
the
clinic
at
alviso
exclamation
point
exclamation,
point.,
exclamation,
point
exclamation
point.,
thanks
for
your
leadership
and
our
community.,
and
this
is
a
great
tactic,
but
we
really
have
to
use
balance
when
we
are
are
using
this..
We
know
that
these
alerts
turn
out
the
residents,
but
it
also
comes
with
some.
E
Concerns
about
oversaturation
and
making
sure
that
we
aren't
over
broadcasting..
There
is
a
small
glitch
in
the
system
that
doesn't
allow
us
to
hyper
focus
as
much
as
we
we
can..
So
it
goes
out
to
a
wider,
a
wider
group
and
because
of
that,
we've
used
these
these
guidelines
for
selecting
the
clinics
to
promote
we
plan
are.
We
are
broadcasts
about
seven
days
apart.
we
select
locations
that
serve
the
highest
priority,
census,
tracts
and
neighborhoods
and
within
those
highest
priority
census,
tracts
in
neighborhoods.
E
Notifications
to
date.
the
next
one
up
is
this:
coming
this
saturday
for
an
event
on
sunday
at
the
horse
carrollton
school
in
district
5.,
the
text
alert
has
another
great
benefit.,
and
that
is
that
it
drives
recipients
to
the
city
of
san
jose
emergency
notification.
Web
page,
where
visitors
also
get
additional
recovery
support
information,
along
with
the
vaccine
clinic
details
in
the
language
they
prefer.
an
example
of
that
you
see
on
the
screen,
a
snapshot
of
the
safety.
E
Alert
got
a
small
piece
in
spanish
and
then
the
english
longer
alert.
on
the
day
that
that
went
out,
we
had
over
50
200
recipients,
click
the
english
page
and
that's
ten
times
the
usual
traffic
of
our
web
page
and
then
more
than
fifteen
hundred
click
to
the
spanish
language.
Page.
close
to
200
visitors
went
to
the
vietnamese
and
chinese
page,
which
is
significant,
because
users
actually
have
to
take
an
additional
step
to
select
that
language..
So
we
are
works.
E
And
we
are
really
proud
to
be
able
to
use
that
to
get
shots
and
arms..
So,
in
closing,
the
recovery
communications
team
is
continuing
to
message,
vaccination
and
testing
and
isolation
services
and
is
ready
to
support
what's
next
for
amplifying
additional
recovery
resources,
boosters
and
third
doses,
as
well
as
andrew
tweeted
out

When
approved.
F
Thank
you,,
adam.,
matt,
keno,,
director
of
public
works
that
brief
presentation
on
hybrid
work
facilities
and
resources..
What
has
changed?
so
we
have
four
port
four
employees
who
can
effectively
perform
their
work
from
home..
We
have
delayed,
bringing
those
employees
back
to
the
in-person
or
in-person
office
work
until
november
1st..
F
We
have,,
as
you
are
aware,,
adopted
and
implemented
a
vaccination
ordinance
for
city
for
events
of
50
or
more
people
in
city
owned
facilities
and
that
took
effect
on
september
20th..
Those
changes
are
being
driven
by
the
increased
increase
in
cases
and
risk
of
covid
due
to
the
delta
virus
and
prioritizing
the
safety
of
our
community..
F
A
few
new
things
to
mention
the
eoc
hadn't
moved
the
activation
up
from
level
4,
which
was
monitor,
monitoring
to
level
3
as
the
delta
variant
continued
to
impact
our
area
and,
as
you
are
aware,
we're
sitting
today
in
a
hybrid
meeting
that
is
in
person
and
on
zoom
for
city
council,
meetings.
however,.
Due
to
some
staffing
vacancies
and
lack
of
staffing
and
equipment.
F
We
are
holding
off
on
having
hybrid
meetings
for
committees
and
commissions
until
until
a
future
date
and
we'll
be
at
to
report
more
on
that
as
as
the
month
as
time
goes
by
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions
on
this.
later
during
the
discussion
and
I'll
turn
over
to
jackie
now
for
the
next
part
of
the
update.
thank
you,
matt.
G
I'm
jackie
morales
friend
and
I
am
the
director
of
housing
and
I'm
here,
to
discuss
both
the
eviction
and
rental
relief
response..
So
in
terms
of
what
has
changed,
the
state
eviction
moratorium
under
hb
832
is
going
to
be
ending
at
the
end
of
this
month
and
what
that
means
for
our
tenants
is
that
they
are
going
to
have
to
pay
full
rent.
Beginning
october,
1st

does
provide
some
additional
protections
that
continue
through
march
2022,
and
the
staff
will
be
providing
a
more
detailed
report
later
on
in
this
agenda.
and

The
city
led
extensive
advocacy
to
amend
the
state's
brown
act,
laws
to
allow
exceptions
for
immunocompromised
members
of
boards
and
commissions..
Thank
you
again
to
the
council
members
for
submitting
letters
advocating
for
legislative
amendments..
Although
our
proposed
amendments
were
not
accepted,,
our
concerns
were
heard
loud
and
clear
by
the
governor's
office
and
assembly
member
rivas,
who
added
an
urgency
clause
to
hb
3

H
This
bill
was
signed
by
the
governor
and
allows
more
remote
meetings
to
continue
under
an
emergency
declaration..
Our
city
clerk
also
authored
a
memo
on
this
item.
If
you're
interested
further
details.
additionally,,
we
continue
to
monitor
the
implementation
of
the
white
house
path
out
of
that
pandemic
action
plan
and
any
related
federal
action.
At
this
time
we
have
no
further
updates
on
implementation.
Beyond
the
booster
updates,
you
heard
from
alvin
on
the
budget
front.

I
And
joe,
thank
you.
good
afternoon.
john's
israeli
director
parks,
recreation,
neighborhood
services.,
I'm
going
to
do
a
quick
update
on
food
distribution
and
childcare..
In
august
we
provided
eight
point:
seventy
five
million
meals
to
our
community.
about
half
of
those
were
by
second
harvest..
We
are
seeing
inflation
impact,
the
cost
of
food,
water,
milk,
gas.
I
So
that
is
driving
some
cost
for
us..
We
are
extending
contracts
with
our
current
providers
under

already
have
from

previously,
through

It's
likely
we'll
be
back
to
extend
that
even
further
as
part
of
the
november

meeting
we're
going
to
have
about

are

we
are
seeing
some
positive

even
the
kids
are
in
their
families
or
even
the
teachers,
and
then
the
kids
that
were
in
the
teacher's
class
got
exposed..
We
have
some
trouble
with
the
schools
sharing
health
information
with
minors,
as
you
can
imagine.,
so
we're
creating
a
parental
consent,
form
task..
The
parents
just
give
us
permission
that
if
something
comes
up
the
school
can
talk
to
us
about

We
might
have
30
kids
in

program

or
more.,
so
we're
trying
to
keep
them
a
little
isolated
into
smaller
groups
so
that
if
one
of
those
kids
was
exposed,
only
a
portion
of
the
larger
group
has
to
quarantine

be
affected.

rest
of

and
we're
keeping
six

more
away.,
so
the
exposure
is
the
same..
So
that's
one
of
the
things
we're
trying
to
do
to
sort
of
mitigate
so
that
we're
not
shutting
down
