From YouTube: 8/25/20 | City Mgr. Dave Sykes presents City's Response to COVID-19 & Continuity of Operations Plan
Description
San José City Council August 25, 2020 Meeting, Agenda Item 3.1
A
So
we'll
get
into
today's
reports
and
we're
gonna
today
focus
really
on
on
three
things:
certainly
the
fire
and
provide
an
update
from
lee
and
robert.
We
will
do
a
general
eoc
update
and
then
focus
on
the
state
legislation
update
from
benna.
So
that's
what
we
will
do
today
and
I'll
pass
it
off
to
lee.
B
B
If
we
could
bring
back
state
legislation
updates
specific
to
some
of
the
eviction
legislation
that
was
currently
in
our
state
legislature
and
what
was
moving
forward.
So
bennett
is
going
to
focus
on
that,
but
to
start
us
off
for
the
fire,
you
will
hear
from
myself,
as
well
as
chief
sapien
and
colin
haney
and
jenny
loft,
who
shared
the
the
duties
of
emergency
public
information
officer
and
we're
going
to
cover
a
little
bit
of
a
kind
of
the
situation
status.
B
D
E
C
As
it
moved
along
our
eastern
borders
and
areas
that
we
cover
for
santa
clara
county,
currently
we
know
that
the
santa
cruz
lightning
complex
is
approaching
80
000
acres
and
is
not
yet
contained
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
resources
that
we've
committed
to
that
incident,
and
I
will
also
talk
more
about
the
senate.
Clara
unit
lightning
complex.
C
So
if
we
could
move
to
the
next
slide,
please
so
in
terms
of
where
we're
at
with
the
incident.
This
incident
of
course
started
on
the
16th
of
august
at
about
6
00
a.m.
It
has
grown
since
to
363
000
acres,
that's
a
little
over
59
square
miles.
If
you
can
imagine
the
enormity
of
that
fire
we
did
pass.
You
know
certainly
not
a
point
of
pride,
but
we
did
pass
the
lnu
complex
fire,
and
this
is
now
the
second
largest
fire
in
california
history.
C
C
A
type
1
incident
management
team
would
bring
the
highest
training
levels
and
most
experience
to
bear
and
if
you've
been
closely
monitoring,
you
know
that
they
are
doing
a
fantastic
job
of
coordinating
with
multiple
stakeholders
and
agencies
and
pushing
a
great
deal
of
information
and,
of
course,
mitigating
the
emergency.
So
the
incident
is
in
very
capable
hands
right
now.
There
are
almost
1400
personnel
committed
to
mitigation
and
management
efforts
and
currently
evacuations
here.
B
C
I
would
say
what
is
different
is
the
depth
of
commitment
that
these
fires
brought
us
to,
and
certainly
stretched
us
literally
to
try
to
find
all
the
tools
and
equipment
and
personnel
available
to
try
to
fill
quite
a
bit
of
equipment.
So
just
a
bit
of
a
timeline.
As
you
know,
it
was
the
effects
of
tropical
storm
fausto
on
saturday
and
sunday,
saturday
evening
and
sunday
morning
that
brought
us
some
lightning
into
the
area.
C
It
was
early
sunday
when
I
started
to
respond
to
requests
for
mutual
aid.
On
that
day,
we
sent
five
personnel
to
begin
to
assist
with
the
santa
clara
unit,
lightning
complex,
and
those
individuals
began
to
fill
some
of
the
incident
management
positions
in
the
plans,
logistics,
finance
sections
and
public
information
on.
C
C
Which
is
essentially
helps
bring
intelligence
back
to
the
command
post
and
a
logistics
officer
position
as
well
as
we
moved
into
tuesday.
The
18th
we
committed
resources
to
a
santa
clara
county
strike
team,
that
is,
a
type
one
engine
strike
team.
So
a
battalion
chief
and
five
engines
out
of
santa
clara
county
responded
to
the
river
fire
that
particular
strike
team
was
pulled
from
the
river
fire
and
was
sent
north
to
the
lnu
fire.
C
Just
yesterday,
on
tuesday,
the
18th
engines,
2
and
9,
were
requested
on
an
emergency
need
basis
for
initial
attack
to
assist
with
santa
cruz
county,
and
they
ended
up
being
assembled
into
a
santa
clara
county
task
force
that
task
force.
2324
went
right
in
and
we
received
report
backs
from
those
crews
that
they
were
engaged
very
early
in
protecting
structures
throughout
that
early
evening
on
wednesday.
Recognizing
that
our
commitment
level
would
likely
become
deeper.
C
On
the
following
day,
we
assigned
one
of
our
deputy
chiefs
as
a
liaison
to
the
base
camp
at
the
santa
clara
unit,
and
he
remains
there
to
this
day,
making
sure
that
we
have
the
latest
information
as
it
unfolds
from
that
command
post
on
friday,
we
did
something
a
little
bit
different
for
our
department.
We
assembled
our
own
task
force
that
is
task
force,
2321,
which
includes
a
battalion
chief
leader
and
two
type:
three
wildland
engines,
two
type,
six
wildland
engines
and
a
water
tender,
and
so
this
is
a
very
potent
resource.
C
The
way
it
is
staffed
and
with
the
equipment
that
it
has-
and
we
have
kept
that
here
in
town,
to
respond
quickly
and
effectively
to
any
emerging
threats
within
an
hour
and
a
half
of
deployment
of
that
resource.
They
were
actively
fighting
fire
at
a
at
the
coyote
fire
which
broke
out
that
afternoon
and
ended
up
burning,
143
acres
and
that
was
located
south
of
metcalf
between
highway
101
and
monterey
road.
C
C
Since
then,
the
department
has,
while
we
maintain
our
response
and
vigilance,
to
support
all
of
our
deployed
resources
and
to
monitor
local
conditions.
We
are
not
currently
staffing
our
department
operations
center,
but
we
are
still
on
on
high
alert
and
monitoring
resources
throughout
this
time
period.
I
should
mention,
as
is
noted
at
the
bottom
of
the
table,
is
that
as
we
monitored
weather
conditions
and
risks,
our
local
staffing,
never
dipped
below
normal
levels
and,
in
fact,
were
heavily
augmented
throughout
the
week.
B
B
In
addition,
the
team
did
plan
for
mass
care
as
we
continued
to
communicate
this
past
past
several
days.
The
berryessa
community
center,
as
well
as
evergreen
community
center,
would
have
functioned
as
a
shelter
site
and,
as
the
event
came
in
over
this
this
past
day,
we
actually
started
to
publicize
southside
community
center
as
an
evacuation
center
and
not
evergreen
in
case
of
the
fire
or
any
warning
area
that
community
center
may
have
been
included.
B
Obviously
our
our
air
3
is
a
regional
asset
and
we've
been
able
to
get
a
number
of
members
of
our
own
fire
department
up
a
number
of
members
of
our
the
emergency
operations
center
up
in
the
past
several
days
to
look
at
hot
spots.
Look
at
where
the
fire
breaks
are
get
a
better
intelligence
and
get
you
know,
cal
fire
up
in
our
own
helicopter,
in
addition
to
some
of
our
regional
partners,
such
as
the
city
of
morgan
hill,
to
help
develop
some
of
their
own
evacuation
plans.
B
F
F
So
last
wednesday,
starting
in
that
first
quadrant,
we
started
with
providing
information
about
air
quality,
using
information
from
the
bay
area,
air
quality
group,
and
we
shared
the
spare
the
air
alert.
We
san
jose
actually
translated
that
information
and
as
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
reached
out
to
our
diverse
community.
F
We
increased
our
emergency
public
information
and
colin
haynes
and
I
led
the
two
public
information
teams,
so
we
focused
on
two
messages.
During
this
period
it
was
no
evacuations
that
occurred
and
no
I'm
sorry,
no
evacuation
orders
were
issued
in
san
jose
and
that
everybody
be
prepared
because
things
could
shift
at
any
moment.
F
Our
outreach
consisted
of
both
digital
and
traditional
flyers,
because
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
able
to
reach
our
diverse
community,
and
we
are
very
mindful
that
not
everybody's
on
on
digital
and
also
that
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
accessibility
was
really
critical,
including
having
language
information
translated
into
spanish,
vietnamese
and
chinese.
So
many
of
our
materials
were
translated,
and
so
that
was
really
important
to
make
sure
that
we
got
the
information
out
to
our
diverse
community.
F
So,
as
you
can
see
here,
we
developed
a
new
wildfire
emergency
notification.
Web
page,
which
is
was
translated
into
those
four
languages
or
I'm
sorry,
three
languages.
So
it
was
a
quadrilingual
page
and
then
we
also
did
the
same
thing
for
a
flash
report.
We
haven't
done
one
for
this
event,
so
that
was
really
important
to
get
that
out
to
subscribers
of
the
flash
report
on
the
scene,
mimicking
what
we've
been
doing
with
kovid
and
then
we
also
posted
messages
on
twitter
and
facebook.
F
So
that
was
really
just
you
know
want
to
make
sure
that
we
reach
as
many
of
our
communities
good
community
members
as
much
as
possible,
and
then
we
then
switched
gears
and
went
into
the
preparation
for
evacuation.
So
we
drafted
into
the
direct
evacuation
notices
that
would
have
been
in
the
alert
scc
notification
via
notifications,
as
well
as
nick
silk.
F
We
also
developed
another
web
page
for
evacuation
resource
resources,
and
that
was
of
course
translated
into
spanish,
vietnamese
and
chinese.
We
also
developed
a
social
media
posts
to
ensure
that
we
are
ready
to
go
with
that
and
we
produced
a
flyer
for
our
distribution
for
door-to-door
notifications
should
that
need
to
occur
next
slide.
Please
here's
some
images
of
some
additional
public
information.
F
During
this
situation
we
also
received
a
very
nice
tweet
from
one
of
our
community
members
and
they
said
in
their
tweet.
The
city
of
san
jose
is
doing
it
well,
tweeting
in
five
languages,
so
that
really
really
hit
home
for
us
that
you
know
that
message
is
being
carried
and
that
people
are
noticing
that
we're
translating
and
reaching
our
communities.
F
B
Thank
you,
jenny
and
then
thank
you
to
you
and
colin
and
the
team
for
for
your
work
this
past
weekend.
So
the
the
eoc
remains
on
a
monitoring
kind
of
platform
this
week,
we'll
continue
to
coordinate
with
fire
and
cal
fire
at
the
incident
command
post
and
continue
to
watch
the
weather.
As
the
chief
said,
the
fire
is
currently
15
contained
as
of
this
morning.
Cal
fires
continue
to
emphasize
to
us
and
to
the
press
that
this
is
definitely
more
of
a
marathon.
B
B
Cal
fire
has
their
own
we've,
been
sharing
an
exact
replica
of
it
on
our
own
site
for
duplication
in
case
cal,
fires
ever
goes
down
and
it
has
once
or
twice
that
map
has
been
viewed,
just
shy
of
a
million
times
in
the
last
five
days
or
viewed.
I
should
say,
and
so
appreciate,
matt
and
his
team
with
that.
That
is,
our
fire
update,
want
to
thank
everyone.
D
Thanks
lee
good
morning,
mayor
council
and
members
of
the
public,
it's
good
to
be
with
you
and
as
you've
just
heard,
the
eoc
has
been
focusing
a
lot
of
effort
and
time
on
the
fires
this
week.
But
our
response
to
cobit
19
has
also
continued
and
we
wanted
to
provide
an
update
on
the
major
accomplishments
of
the
past
seven
days.
D
So
first,
the
city
and
its
community
partners
continued
food
distribution
nationwide.
Together
we
coordinated
and
delivered
more
than
2.1
million
meals.
Last
week
with
no
reported
gaps,
the
eoc
was
also
focused
on
meeting
the
needs
of
at-risk
populations
that
were
affected
by
the
heat
and
the
smoke
as
a
result
of
the
fires.
Our
logistics
section
was
busy
at
acquiring
and
stationing
backup
generators
and
other
materials
at
south
hall
at
camden
community
center
to
make
sure
that
we
had
sufficient
improved
air
quality
for
sheltered
residents
and
cooling
capabilities
at
those
at
those
centers.
D
I
also
want
to
mention
that
our
epio
team,
in
addition
to
publicizing
updates
about
the
fire,
was
working
consistently
to
amplify
messaging.
Regarding
the
census,
they
worked
with
our
office
of
economic
development
to
conduct
outreach
to
businesses
around
business
grants
and
posting
several
updates
about
alfresco
our
community
and
economic
recovery
branch,
finalized
documentation
and
application
application
materials
for
coronavirus
relief
on
small
business
grants,
and
that
includes
a
website
landing
page
and
frequently
asked
questions.
And
finally,
you
heard
last
week
about
the
plans
for
the
final
push
for
the
census.
D
This
past
week,
we
finalized
an
operational
staffing
plan
for
that
effort.
Trainings
are
ongoing.
This
week
and
we
are
going
to
launch
that
campaign
later
on
this
week,
which
is
exciting-
those
are
the
main
updates
for
this
week.
Thanks
very
much
at
this
point,
I'll
turn
it
over
to
bennet
chang
for
updates
on
state
legislation.
E
Good
morning
I'm
bena
chang,
I'm
a
city's
intergovernmental
relations
director
and
here
to
give
a
quick
update
on
eviction
moratorium
legislation
next
slide,
please
lee.
So
just
as
a
quick
reminder,
there
are
two
major
state
actions
that
are
in
effect
right
now.
One
is
the
governor's
executive
order
that
says
that
state
law
cannot
preempt
locals
from
passing
eviction
moratorians
and
this
actually
expires
september
30th
and
secondly,
the
judicial
council
also
passed
an
emergency
order
that
really
prohibited
filings
of
evictions
and
that
emergency
order
expires
september
1st.
E
You
might
remember
that
earlier
in
the
session,
there
were
many
bills
that
the
legislature
introduced
and
that
has
really
now
been
narrowed
down
to
one
main
bill
which
is
ab-1436
by
assembly
member
david
chu.
It's
currently
on
the
senate
floor
right
now,
and
it
has
a
couple
of
main
points,
but
the
bill
is
really
to
buy
extra
time
for
both
renters
and
landlords
to
make
payments.
E
Whichever
comes
first
as
part
of
that
package,
the
legislation
also
includes
a
one-year
forbearance
for
small
landlords
and
six
months
forbearance
for
large
landlords
on
mortgage
payments
that
this
bill
is
currently
actively
being
negotiated
in
legislature
right
now,
and
there
could
be
additional
changes
that
will
come
for
this
bill,
but
this
one
is
something
that
we're
watching
very
carefully
and
closely
on
the
commercial
eviction
side.
Senator
weiner
did
introduce
sb
939,
which
included
a
temporary
commercial
eviction
moratorium
with
a
six-month
repayment.
E
Unfortunately,
that
bill
died
and
is
no
longer
active,
but
the
city
is
working
very
closely.
Thank
you
to
the
mayor
through
to
the
governor's
office,
to
talk
about
the
impact
in
san
jose.
If
the
commercial
eviction
moratorium
were
to
go
away
and
to
advocate
for
the
governor
to
take
additional
actions.
D
D
So
we
had
originally
discussed
digital
inclusion
update
this
week.
We
will
be
providing
that
update
next
week,
as
well
as
an
update
on
homelessness
and
beautify
sj
next
week.
The
council
will
also
hear
updates
on
food
distribution
and
residence
resident
assistance
efforts
as
part
of
other
items
on
the
agenda.
D
Currently,
we
are
not
planning
any
update
for
item
3.1
on
september
15th
and
that's
due
to
a
relatively
full
agenda
already.
We
want
to
make
sure
there's
a
there's
room
for
other
items
on
september
15th
we
will
be
coming
back
to
council,
with
with
an
update
on
our
fiscal
recovery
and
coronavirus
relief
fund,
rebalancing
as
part
of
a
separate
item
and
on
september
22nd.
D
We're
currently
planning
updates
on
our
concurrent
emergency
planning
efforts,
our
public
health
order
efforts
and
the
strategic
communications
plan
update
from
our
epio.
So
the
the
eoc
continues
to
be
busy
and
we
look
forward
to
updating
you
on
all
of
those
efforts
with
that
I'll
pass
it
back
to
lee.
