We're
dropped
thanks
to
him.
We
got
lots
of
things
to
work
on
I'm
hearing.
Thank
you,
okay,
so
we're
gonna,
I,
think
for
the
members
of
the
community
or
public.
Just
you
know
we're.
Essentially,
yesterday
we
cancelled
all
our
committee
meetings,
except
for
this.
One
city
staff
is
wholly
focused
on
responding
to
this
crisis
right
now
or
with
the
exception
of
obviously,
the
essential
functions
that
we
continue
to
provide
in
the
city,
and
so
many
meetings
which
you
may
expect
will
be
moved
and
deferred
until
we're
all
able
to
better
focus.
H
A
H
Yes,
I
just
I
I
have
to
do
this.
This
is
for
the
turnaround
scholarship
for
kids
we've.
We
asked
the
Kiwanis
actually
helps
kids
pay
for
college
and,
since
my
wife
is
a
member
of
the
Kiwanis
Club,
which
doesn't
actually
receive
any
of
this
money,
it
goes
to
the
turnaround
scholarship,
which
is
a
separate
501,
C
3,
but
I
felt
it
prudent
to
ask
for
permission.
E
A
D
I
D
Few
comments,
because
this,
like
everything
else
related
to
Cove,
it
is
fast
moving
and
so
I
wanted
to
bring
it
to
everyone's
attention
that
when
we
brought
this
proposal
forward
last
week
we
modeled
the
proposal
that
we
brought
forward
specifically
on
senator
Murray's
bill
and
the
companion
house.
Legislation
is
moved
forward
since
that
time,
but
the
White
House
negotiated
or
through
the
negotiations
with
the
White
House.
It
was
essentially
gutted
a
lot
of
the
assistance
for
things
like
sick
leave,
work
gutted
in
those
negotiations
and
leaving
many
employees
throughout
the
nation
without
coverage.
D
Today
there
was
a
bill
that
was
passed
in
the
Senate.
Ninety
to
eight.
However,
none
of
the
amendments
were
passed,
so
we
don't
have
the
sick
leave
resources
that
we
thought
might
we
might
have
in
time.
So
basically,
also
what
I
understand
from
congresswoman
Zoe
Lofgren
office
is.
They
are
all
still
in
negotiations,
and
it
could
take
some
time
so,
given
that
situation
I
wanted
to
move
continue
to
move
this
forward,
because
in
the
items
that
were
gutted
in
the
negotiations
with
the
White
House
is
large.
D
Companies
with
more
than
500
employees
are
not
mentioned
in
the
federal
bill.
According
to
the
Department
of
Labor
89%
at
large
companies
who
have
some
paid
sick
leave
only
have
an
average
of
eight
days,
which
is
well
short
of
the
14
day.
Quarantine
there's
also
another
loophole
of
fewer
than
50
employees,
and
there
are
loopholes
for
health
care
providers
like
hospitals
and
nursing
homes,
and
then
all
those
sick
leave
is
to
be
paid.
D
There
was
a
Times
article
that
referenced.
If
we
don't
do
our
part,
this
could
extend
as
long
as
18
months,
which
none
of
us
wants
to
happen
and
there
could
be
multiple
waves.
So
we
need
to
do
what
we
can
as
a
city
to
ensure
that
we
keep
our
community
safe
and
I
wanted
to
add.
One
more
comment
about
pragmatism
is
that
it
is
it's
pragmatic
to
allow
people
to
be
home
when
they're
sick
and
to
take
care
of
loved
ones
who
are
sick.
That
is
the.
C
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I
know.
There
are
several
members
of
the
community
wanting
to
speak.
So,
let's
hear
from
the
community
and
then
we'll
come
back
to
say,
staff
and
the
committee,
starting
with
the
bond
deal
via
Verde.
Forgive
me
bond
if
I
just
mispronounced
your
name,
Jeffrey
Buchanan,
Jeff,
Christina
and
Jessi
I.
Believe
it's
Turing
I
can't
quite
read
this:
the
writing
with
Jessi.
Oh
thank
you.
J
Oh
and
members
of
the
City
Council,
my
name
is
Vaughn
Villaverde
and
I'm
actually
here
to
read
a
statement
from
Michelle
Liu,
who
is
the
CEO
of
the
Health
Trust,
who
unfortunately
can't
be
here
and
who
is
also
urging
the
Rules
Committee
to
pass
a
paid
sick
leave
ordinance
workers
having
access
to
basic
paid
sick
leave.
Protections
is
not
only
good
for
the
health
and
safety
of
workers
they're
an
important
part
of
maintaining
our
infrastructure
during
emergencies
like
the
one
we're
in.
J
As
you
may
know,
the
Health
Trust
runs
a
meals-on-wheels
program
that
last
years
served
over
a
hundred
and
sixty
nine
thousand
meals
to
food,
insecure
individuals
in
our
community
and
we're
currently
ramping
up
our
efforts
to
meet
the
demand
brought
on
by
the
co
vyd
public
health
emergency.
In
doing
this
work,
we've
come
to
understand
that
our
food
systems
are
a
critical
part
of
any
community's
infrastructure.
Many
of
the
hourly
and
contracted
workers
who
work
do
not
have
access
to
adequate
paid
sick
time
in
jobs
within
our
food
infrastructure.
J
These
workers
staff,
our
grocery
stores,
prepare
our
meals
in
restaurants
and
deliver
these
meals
to
our
door
without
paid
sick
leave
protections
workers
who
can't
afford
to
miss
a
paycheck
when
they're
sick
become
potential
vectors
for
disease
transmission.
Federal
legislation
on
paid
sick
leave
currently
leaves
federal
legislation
on
paid
sick
leave
currently
being
negotiated
between
the
House
and
the
Trump
administration
will
likely
not
cover
the
workers
who
need
it
most
and,
as
our
community
adjusts
to
their
new
reality
brought
on
by
this
global
pandemic.
J
We
need
to
ensure
that
our
food
infrastructure
not
only
remains
functional
and
robust,
but
that
it
doesn't
become
a
wave
through
which
this
disease
spreads.
Michelle
urges
the
committee
to
pass
these
vital
protections.
It's
good
for
workers
and
better
for
public
health
and
I
also
have
aside
from
that.
A
petition
signed
by
over
300
San
Jose
residents
that
we'd
like
to
submit
to
the
Rules
Committee
for
your
consideration.
K
Last
time
we
looked
at
data
over
a
hundred
thousand
workers
had
no
paid
sick
day.
Since
then,
it's
likely
that
they
only
have
three
days
provided
by
the
state
policy
that
includes
over
fifty
percent
of
Latino
workers
in
the
city.
So
there's
a
huge
racial
justice
issue
here
as
a
city,
our
number
one
issue
is
flattening
the
curve
really
when
we
think
about
these
essential
workers,
the
the
ubereats
driver,
the
McDonald's
franchise
worker,
the
grocery
clerk,
the
homecare
worker.
Many
of
these
workers
don't
have
paid
sick
days
and
so
they're
going
in
to
work
sick.
K
They
have
the
potential
to
spread
the
virus
to
two
or
three
additional
folks.
Oh
really,
we
need
to
ensure
that
it's
easy
to
access
sick
days,
we've
seen
in
other
emergencies.
The
h1n1
virus,
for
instance
30%
of
workers
wanting
to
work
sick
with
the
virus,
resulting
in
seven
million
people
more
being
infected.
Now
is
the
time
to
act.
Additionally,
we
need
to
look
to
fill
the
gap
you
heard
already
from
councilmember
Esparza,
there's
over
80%
of
private
sector
workers
who
work
and
be
covered
by
what
just
passed
the
Senate.
K
Really
we
need
to
fill
this
gap.
The
good
news
is
that
in
that
bill
for
businesses
under
five
hundred
workers,
there's
a
fully
refundable
federal
tax
credit
for
your
expenditures
in
relation
ship-to
paid,
sick
leave,
and
so
it's
it's
pop,
our
biggest
employers.
Certainly
they
have
more
economic
wherewithal
to
be
able
to
carry
this
mandate
for
our
smaller
employers.
They
are
gonna,
be
able
to
leverage
federal,
refundable
tax
credits
to
pay
for
these
things,
we're
in
a
hot
spot
in
San
Jose.
K
A
L
Jeff
Christina
from
green
waste
recovery,
zankar
recycling
and
business
San,
Jose,
Chamber,
PAC,
what's
been
really
interesting,
is
is
just
listening
to
that
list
of
endorsements.
That
list
of
endorsements
doesn't
represent
one
business,
that's
a
lot
of
different
nonprofits
or
unions.
Right
now,
businesses
are
firing.
People
the
costs
of
what
you're
doing
just
a
green
waste
recovery
alone
will
be
so
impactful.
L
What
this
is
going
to
do
is
increase
those
costs.
More
people
are
going
to
be
losing
their
jobs,
I'm,
pretty
sure
that
that
unions
aren't
gonna
like
that,
but
when
it
comes
down
to
a
point
where
businesses
don't
have
any
money
and
when
you
have
no
income
for
a
few
weeks
few
months,
you
have
no
money,
you
can't
pay
people,
and
what
this
is
doing
is
just
putting
a
significant
hardship
on
a
lot
of
small
businesses.
L
It's
gonna
stick
you'll
early
sting,
a
lot
of
mom
and
pops,
and
it's
going
to
be
disastrous
for
our
community
during
the
disaster.
The
impacts
of
this
will
be
horrendous
and
we
cannot
allow
something
like
this
to
go
on.
If
this
is
ever
something
that's
considered,
it
needs
to
be
considered
in
a
time
where
everything's,
going
good
and
and
the
costs
can
actually
be
absorbed
right
now
we
can't
absorb
more
costs.
We
can't
take
it.
The
businesses
absolutely
can't
I'm
here,
representing
a
few
hundred
employees
I
want
to
save
these
people.
L
A
B
A
A
J
Good
afternoon,
mayor
good
afternoon,
councilmembers
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
Community
Health
Partnership,
my
name
is
Jesse
charango
and
I
work
in
a
workforce
development
for
them
where
we
represent
ten
key
health
center
organizations
that
serve
population
of
about
a
hundred
65,000,
low-income
individuals.
Most
of
our
population
are
under
20%
of
the
federal
poverty
level
and
for
those
not
familiar
that
would
be
about
forty
three
thousand
dollars
for
a
family
of
three.
So
a
lot
of
these
patients
are
the
frontline
workers
that
are
serving
our
food
delivering
our
food.
J
Our
contract
and
hourly
workers
that
can
afford
to
make
ends
meet
without
their
without
their
job
without
their
hours.
I
also
work
with
interns,
students
that
they'd
have
to
do
whatever
it
takes
to
keep
working
to
keep
studying,
to
keep
getting
any
money
they
can
so
oftentimes
people
will
continue
to
work
even
though
they're
sick.
They
will
not
take
their
their
time
off
if
it's
unpaid,
they
need
to
continue
to
make
pink,
continue.
Paying
rents
continue
paying
for
all
the
services
that
they
need
as
well.
J
B
I
Hello,
hello,
my
name
is
Teresa
Nunes
and
I
work
for
Santa,
Clara,
County,
Probation,
Department
and
I'm,
a
member
of
SEIU
521
I'm,
here
to
speak
in
support
of
the
paid
sick
leave
ordinance.
We
are
all
in
a
very
difficult
time
and
uncharted
territory.
It
saddens
me
to
even
see
this
as
a
topic
or
debate.
Many
of
these
people
already
struggle
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
Living
check
to
check
losing
pay
for
them
will
be
devastating
to
their
families.
As
a
single
mother,
myself,
I
know
the
pain,
stress
and
worry
of
not
knowing.
I
If
you
have
enough
money
to
put
food
on
the
table
or
pay
the
bills,
the
decision
to
continue
to
work
while
they
are
sick
or
a
family
member
is
sick
is
not
an
option.
They
must
work
to
feed
their
families,
which
in
turn
will
increase
the
spread
of
the
virus
and
continue
to
our
community.
Also
as
a
worker
of
Juvenile
Probation,
we
often
see
many
kids
who
feel
like
they
have
no
hope,
because
their
families
cannot
provide
for
them.
I
So
they
look
elsewhere
for
the
support
and
the
things
that
they
need
most
times
it's
from
negative
peers
and
they
begin
to
commit
crimes
that
then
affect
our
community.
Let's
stop
that
right
here,
right
now,
I
ask
you
to
please
take
deep
consideration
on
this
matter
and
support
this
critical
ordinance.
These
are
our
brothers
and
sisters.
These
are
your
brothers
and
sisters
at
a
time
like
this.
We
need
to
take
care
of
one
another.
Thank
you.
I
M
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
members
of
the
committee
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
Silicon
Valley
at
home
to
voice
support
for
the
paid
sick
leave
ordinance
as
introduced
by
councilmembers
Esparza
Carrasco
nurdinez,
as
a
housing
policy
and
agassiz
organization,
as
we
at
home
focuses
on
solutions
that
address
our
housing
crisis,
which
was
already
a
daunting
crisis
before
the
realities
of
Cove
in
nineteen.
We
know
that,
even
in
the
best
times,
working-class
people
in
San
Jose
struggle
to
afford
housing
and
keep
up
with
rising
rents.
M
Many
workers
don't
have
adequate
paid
sick
leave,
benefits
that
allow
them
to
take
time
for
self-care
and
not
worry
about
lost
wages
and
how
the
rent
will
be
paid.
By
adopting
a
sick
leave
ordinance.
The
city
will
ensure
that
people
can
take
the
need
to
time
off
and
still
afford
essential
expenses
such
as
food
and
rent.
This
is
of
critical
importance
in
times
that
we
face.
Now
we
don't
want
people
who
are
sick
working.
M
We
would
like
to
express
our
gratitude
to
the
City
Council
for
taking
swift
action
on
a
multitude
of
issues
during
this
challenging
time,
including
the
adoption
of
an
ordinance
that
puts
a
moratorium
on
evictions.
We
urge
the
Rules
Committee
today
to
support
this
initiative
and
act
expeditiously
and
moving
forward
so
that
there
are
protections
in
place
for
working
families
throughout
the
city
of
San
Jose.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
G
So,
thank
you.
So
we
haven't
had
much
time
to
really
work.
This
through
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
the
importance
of
it
and
really
probably
ask
for
some
time
here,
but
I
think
want
to
kind
of
get
clear
on
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
with
this.
If
we're
trying
to
accomplish
the
economic
impacts,
I
think
that's
that's
one
thing,
and
it's
a
much
broader
thing
if
we're,
if
we're,
if
we're
focused
on
the
public
health
crisis,
totally
understand
the
perspective
of
and
remember
in
our
in
in
our
region.
G
Now
we
are
now
in
a
unusual
environment
of
having
essential
workers
and
non-essential
workers.
Non-Essential
workers
are
currently
already
home.
So
now
we're
focused
on
essential
workers.
We
certainly
want
to
create
an
environment
where
essential
workers
are
not
compelled
to
come
to
work,
sick
and
spread
the
virus.
That's
the
public
health
crisis,
and
so
we
need
to
I
think
if
we're
here
to
address
the
public
health
crisis
kind
of
narrow.
G
Our
focus
on
that
aspect
I
also
want
to
distinguish
between
you
know
our
city,
public
sector
workers,
which
we
have
a
plan
for
and
whether
they
are
essential
or
non-essential
they're.
All
getting
paid-
and
so
you
know,
that's
I-
think
an
important
distinction
also
to
make
so
that's
kind
of
where
our
thinking
is
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
other
moving
dynamics
here.
G
And
just
so,
you
know
that
we're
not
being
dismissive
of
anything
you
know,
I
had
the
opportunity
sit
down
with
with
Kim
and
Jennifer
and
Jennifer
and
Edie
briefly,
just
before
this.
This
meeting,
just
the
kind
of
you
know,
do
a
quick
look
at
it.
You
know
I
think
as
an
organization.
We
are
right
now
solely
focused
on
addressing
the
public
health
crisis,
but
recognizing
the
economic
impacts.
This
is
having
do
you
know
and
not
don't
want
to
be
dismissive
of
that.
A
So
giving
everybody
is
running
very
hard,
and
particularly
since
we
now
have
had
I
get
some
additional
responsibilities
on
our
shoulders
about
food
distribution.
I
want
to
be
able
to
have
the
space
be
able
to
to
put
something
out.
That's
going
to
be
effective.
I
think
we
see
that
the
federal
legislation
is
moving,
but
it
is
a
bit
of
a
moving
target
and
I
want
to
ask
Jeffery
Buchanan.
You
mentioned,
maybe
federal
reimbursement
for
some
employers.
Do
you
know
anything
about
the
latest
which
employers
exactly
get
reimbursed?
Is
there
an
employee,
capper.
E
K
Provisions
only
cover
the
five
hundred
so
less
than
five
hundred.
If
you
have
less
than
five
hundred
workers,
then
you
can
be
able
to
apply
for
a
fully
refundable
tax
credit
for
each
calendar
quarter
and
that
that
will
cover
both
of
the
paid
sick
and
the
paid
family
leave
portions
of
what
the
Senate
voted
on
it's
my
understanding
I've
been
in
communication
with
a
couple
of
organizations
lobbyists
who
were
a
part
of
the
effort
in
Washington
to
get
updates.
It's
my
understanding.
There
were
not
substantial
amendments
through
the
Senate
process.
K
There
was
some
house
clean
up
language
to
make
it
different
than
if
you
looked
over
the
weekend
at
what
it
was.
You
know,
come
Tuesday.
It
was
come
Monday.
There
were
some
changes
there,
including
the
inclusion
of
making
the
tax
credits
fully
refundable,
okay,
so,
but
and
then
just
the
clarification.
A
K
There
there
is
a
total
cap
on
the
the
total
amount
across
the
program
of
the
tax
credits.
You
know
again,
I
think
we're
seeing
that
in
Washington
there
there
is
certainly
a
lots
of
lots
of
interest
in
spending
at
the
moment
with
the
proposal
of
another
one.
You
know
more
than
one
trillion
dollar
package
to
come
after
this,
and
so
you
know,
I
think
the
creation
of
the
process
around
the
tax
credit.
It's
it's
hard
to
say,
I
mean
it's.
It's
a
substantial
number.
I!
A
One
is
obviously
we
want
to
understand
very
clearly
who
is
covered
and
who's
not
covered
by
the
federal
legislation.
I
understand
the
moving
target
and
I
think
we'll
want
to
have
some
clarity
of
that
to
understand
where
the
city
can
best
exert
itself.
Second,
I
know
there
are
various
rules
in
place
now
between
various
cities.
I
think
San
Diego
has
a
minimum
of
30
hours,
SF
in
Oakland,
it's
40
hours
or
72
hours,
depending
on
the
size
of
the
employer.
A
They're
just
understanding
the
staff
work
both
to
create
something
like
this,
as
well
as
to
implement
I
sense,
there's
a
desire
to
do
so
quickly
with
the
urgency
of
the
moment.
It
would
be
helpful
to
understand
how
feasible
that
is,
given
whatever
else
we're
doing
with
the
central
employees
or
who
we
can
bring
on
who's
in
the
non-essential
category.
Who
can
be
used
to
help
us
implement
this?
A
We
understand
everything
from
food
distribution
is
childcare
for
first
responders
or
you
know
those
are
the
things
that
are
on
our
plate
and
we're
we're
trying
to
move
fast
here
for
that
and
then,
to
whatever
extent
we're
able
to
get
any
feedback
about
what
categories
of
businesses
might
be
more
likely
to
respond
in
a
way
that
is
counterproductive
and
I
know
that
requires
some
amount
of
outreach.
I
mean
I've,
already
had
two
conversations
with
employers
in
the
last
four
hours
who
are
issuing
pink
slips.
A
So
obviously
we
don't
want
to
expedite
the
issuance
pink
slips,
we're
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
do
this
without
actually
killing
the
goose.
So
those
are
some
of
the
questions.
I
had
I'm,
hoping
that
can
be
considered
as
we're
coming
back
here
and
Edie
I'm,
assuming
that
city
can
do
this
legally
I
know
that
the
cities
have,
and
it
looks
like
in
San
Francisco.
They
went
to
the
voters,
that's
not
a
requirement
to
go
to
the
voters.
Is
it.
N
Other
cities
who
have
implemented
in
San
Francisco
was
an
initiative,
but
there
are
several
cities
who
have
done
it
on
their
own
they've,
adopted
it
in
and
they've
adopted
it
under
the
authority
to
provide
minimum
labor
standards.
So
many
of
those
ordinances
are
simply
an
amendment
to
the
minimum
wage
ordinances.
Okay,.
A
A
Then
even
this
severe
health
impacts
is
this
essentially
going
to
be
an
urgency
ordinance
for
the
duration
of
this
emergency
or
are
we
creating
something
that
is
permanent
and
if
it
we
are
creating
something
permanent?
Does
that
work?
Some?
Does
that
work,
something
we
put
off
through
a
prioritization
and
work
on
what
we
can
get
done
in
a
short
period
of
time
for
this
urgent
urgent
period?
That's
another
question
that
would
be
helpful
to
have
fleshed
out
so
I'll
stop
asking
questions
now.
Other
comments,
councillor
Davis,
I,.
F
That
was
one
question
that
I
had
again
that's
assuming
that
this
was
going
to
be
a
permanent
thing
and
then
the
other
question
I
had
when
I
worked
in
the
private
sector.
We
didn't
always
have
sick
time
and
vacation
time.
Sometimes
it
was
rolled
into
one
PTO
time
and
you
used
it
regardless
and
so
I
don't
for
for
those
those
employers,
I
wouldn't
want
to
add
on
to
additional
time,
because
they've
already
got
their
accrual
at
a
specific
rate
to
account
for
both
of
those
things.
So
how
do
we
account
for
that?
F
If
they've
already
got
sort
of
a
bucket
pto
time?
So
that
would
be
another
question
that
I
had
and
then
and
then
the
other
thing,
because
the
federal
government
is
already
working
on
this
specifically
and
they're,
also
working
on
an
economic
stimulus
package,
an
aid
package
I
wonder
about
duplicating
the
efforts
where
we
need
to
be
on
the
ground
right
now
versus
waiting
a
couple
of
weeks,
seeing
how
that
all
shakes
out
and
then
having
staff
turn
to
this.
F
If
that
doesn't
pan
out,
which
I
actually
think
it
will,
because
everyone
is
panicking
in
every
state
in
every
little
town.
As
far
as
I
can
tell
so,
I
I
tend
to
think
providing
for
our
people.
Right
now
is
the
most
important
thing
that
our
staff
should
be
doing
as
opposed
to
duplicating
efforts
that
are
already
happening
at
the
federal
level.
H
I
also
concur
with
the
sentiments
that
councilmember
as
far
as
our
innocent
Carrasco
put
forward
here
and
I
I,
do
have
major
concerns
with
even
going
down
this
path
as
a
city.
The
memo
is
not
clear,
I
mean
it
looks
like
it
affects
every
size,
business.
It
doesn't
matter
whether
it's
a
mom-and-pop,
hair
salon
or
a
dry
cleaner
or
anything.
H
You
know
that
that
that
they
don't
have
the
infrastructure
to
even
or
even
the
knowledge
to
apply
for
a
federal
grant
when,
when
their
employee
is
out,
sick
and
so
I
have
deep,
can
turns
about
how
this
was
gonna
affect
our
small
business
community.
Yesterday
we
made
a
huge
effort
to
show
that
we
we
are
concerned
about
the
needs
of
our
small
businesses.
H
In
fact,
I,
don't
know
how
they're
gonna
survive
through
this
current
downturn
financially
and
I
think
that
this
could
strain
them
even
further
by
giving
them
more
regulations
and
more
hoops
to
jump
through
I'm
also
concerned
that
we
only
had
one
business
be
aware
of
this
I
mean.
Obviously,
we
are
only
hearing
from
one
side
of
this
equation
and
in
this,
since
this
will
affect
business
I'm,
hoping
that
we
can
actually
get
some
business
perspective
and
see
how
they
would
be
affected.
H
I'm
also
I
think
the
attorney
this
would
have
to
go
through
the
attorney's
office
as
as
Edie
said,
I
mean
kind
of
jokingly,
but
it
wasn't
a
joke.
The
attorney's
office
is
a
non-essential
service
and
so
that
we'd
have
to
call
them
back
to
work
on
on
this
issue,
and
so
and
I,
don't
know
that
something
could
be
put
into
place
and
implemented
in
time
to
deal
with
this
pandemic
so
and
I
also
concur
with
council
member
Davis.
Somebody
else
is
already
working
on
this.
Why
why?
Why
do
we?
H
Why
should
we
try
to
reinvent
the
wheel?
What
I'd
rather
see
is
our
staff
monitor
and
come
back
to
us
with
information?
That's
coming
in
from
Congress
or
I
heard
that
even
the
governor's
office
is
working
on
this
as
a
statewide
issue.
I
also
don't
want
to
see
our
city
isolated
in
its
policies
and
where
you
can
go
outside
to
Santa,
Clara,
Los,
Gatos
or
Campbell
or
Cupertino
or
any
of
the
other
cities
and
set
up
office
and
not
deal
with.
H
You
know
the
the
measure
E
and
all
these
other
regulations
that
they
already
have
to
jump
through,
and
so
this
will
be
one
more.
So
my
my
suggestion
would
be
to
a
staff
or
I
can
make
a
motion
to
ask
staff
to
fall
the
federal
regulations
and
how
it's
going
forward
and
and
come
back
to
us
in
two
weeks
time
to
see.
If
we
need
to
do
anything
rather
than
what
should
we
do
not
make
that
as
a
motion.
C
C
C
Obviously
we
you
know
he
was
trying
to
make
a
point,
and
the
point
is
that
when
we
have
these
essential
services,
businesses
open
that
we
want
to
be
able
to
go
in
feelings,
knowing
that
these
workers
are
offered
sick
pay
and
that
they
are
not
there
because
they
have
no
other
option,
and
so
this
is
what
it
really
is
all
about.
It
is
not
trying
to
hurt
any
other.
Small
business
is
really
trying
to
protect.
All
of
us
because
we
know
containment
is
the
best
for
right
now,
the
best
solution,
and
so
I
like
to.
C
H
Well,
obviously,
this
rules
community
is
here
to
flush
out
things
before
it
gets
on
the
agenda
and
if
it
gets
on
the
agenda,
as
it
looks,
we
may
be
putting
a
lot
of
sausage-making
in
front
of
the
council,
so
I'm
not
inclined
to
do
that
I.
Also
it
the
memo
also
doesn't
say
for
essential
services.
It
just
says
for
any
business,
there's
no
there's
no
specificity.
This
would
this
would
apply
to
any
specific,
and
so
it's
it's
a
very.
C
H
I'm
not
inclined
to
go
that
direction.
I
prefer
to
have
something
a
little
more
fleshed
out
before
it
goes
to
Council
I've
been
in
so
many
meetings
where
we
didn't
have.
You
know
a
solid
thing
to
work
on
and
it's
it
would
take
six
seven
hours
and
and-
and
we
still
don't
end
up
with
something
I'd
prefer
to
flesh
this
out
further
before
we
take
it
to
council.
Vice.
E
The
real
issue
in
question
is:
where
does
that
money
come
from
and
there's
so
many
moving
parts
right
now
with
the
federal
government
state
government,
the
county
that
I
need
at
least
a
week
and
half
staff
come
back
with
an
analysis
and
terms
of
all
the
moving
parts?
What's
out
there
what's
been
voted
on
what's
been
approved,
you
know
the
the
segmentation
of
the
different
business
types
that
we're
talking
about,
there's
just
so
many
unknowns.
E
I
don't
have
that
information
right
now
that
I
need
a
week
and
half
staff
come
back
and
provide
me
with
a
lot
of
that
information
and
data.
So
that
was
one
of
the
friendly
amendments
I'd
like
to
make
councilmember
canvasses,
instead
of
two
weeks
out
a
week
out.
If
we
can,
if
we
can
have
that
and
have
staff,
if
staff
is
able
to
come
back
with
some
type
of
analysis
with
all
the
bills,
yeah.
G
And
if
I
could
just
I
want
to
just
kind
of
summarize
ratso.
Yesterday
with
the
council,
we
shared
our
top
10
priorities:
number
two
enforcement
of
the
pel
health
public
health
order
or
focus
on
this.
Obviously,
the
council
can
direct
us
to
broaden
that,
but
our
focus
on
this
would
be
to
ensure
that
essential
workers
are
not
compelled
to
come
to
work
sick,
that's
where
we
need
to
focus
and
if
they
don't
have
any
leave
and
they're
compelled
to
do
that.
A
H
G
I
think
that
would
be
helpful,
but
you
know
I
think
when
we
come
back
next
week,
you're
hearing
a
preview
of
what
I
think
we're
going
to
say
and
but
as
I
said,
obviously
the
council
can
direct
us
to
broaden
that
scope
to
address
the
the
economic
impacts.
But
just
you
know
based
on
where
we're
at
right
now
it
would
be
best
if
we
could
focus
first
on
the
public
health
impacts.
That's.
H
E
I
just
want
to
ask
council
member
Ramos
in
and
as
far
as
the
just
kind
of
a
fundamental
question,
do
you
care
as
much
whether
that
pay,
that
sick
leave
pay
comes
from,
say,
a
small
business,
that's
in
distress
or
from
a
government
entity
like
the
federal
government
or
state?
Do
you
are
you?
Are
you
concerned
whether
the
source
of
those
funds,
as
opposed
to
the
fact
that
those
individuals
get
the
financial
resources
they
need
to
sustain
their
their
lives
and
in
line.
D
Is
public
health
and
making
sure
people
don't
dive
right?
So
what
I
will
say
is
that
we're
going
to?
We
can
expect
federal
stimulus
packages
to
go
to
businesses
that
can
document
these
issues
so
that
they
can
get
that.
My
concern
is
the
workers
from
those
businesses
aren't
going
to
have
sort
of
the
basic
sick
leave
coverage
to
cover
them
during
a
minimum,
the
life
of
this
order,
which
could
be
extended
if
people
don't
stay
home
right
so
I
mean
we're
all
looking
towards
the
federal
government
to
provide
that
stimulus
package.
D
But
we
wrote
this
before
the
order
before
Monday's
order,
when
we
thought
everybody
was
going
to
be
going
to
work
and
the
county
was
coming
out
with
kind
of
daily
updates
on
what
we
should
and
shouldn't
do,
and
so
you
know
I
think
our
focus
should
be
on
taking
care
of
our
community
and
then
pushing
the
federal
government
to
backfill,
which
is
the
direction
that
we
gave
that
kind
of
flexibility
to
staff
last
night
when
talking
about
rents
and
small
business.
Okay,.
C
And
the
next
step
that
we
sent
up
so
that
we
can
have
emergency
funding
for
our
small
businesses.
Those
are
the
families,
those
are
the
small
businesses.
I've
said
before,
and
I
continue
to
think
the
same
way
they
are
the
backbone
of
San,
Jose
they're,
the
ones
who
who
have
made
us
so
far.
So
they
deserve
our
our
support
and
loyalty.
C
We
also
need
to
make
sure
that
our
public
is
just
as
safe
and
that
when
we
walk
into
whatever
essential
service
business
that
we
go
to
to
get
our
essentials,
that
we
are
guaranteed,
but
none
of
the
folks
who
are
there
are
there
because
they're
forced
to
be
there
because
they're
sick,
but
that
they
have
this
option
for
sick
leave
and
I
think
incorrect.
Think
it
was
a
mystery
cannon
who
mentioned.
C
There
was
already
some
stimulus
money
that
would
allows
for
some
of
the
small
business
to
apply
for
and
have
some
of
that
liquidity
to
cover
some
of
these
costs
for
their
employees.
So
I
think
there
there's
there's
already
some
forethought
there
for
small
businesses
it.
It
really
is
something
that
that
I
think
it
is
is
essential
to
public
health.
It's
not
just
a
it's,
not
a
union
thing,
it's
not
a
non-profit
thing.
These
are
all
employers
as
well.
C
It
really
is
about
making
sure
that
when
you
walk
into
an
essential
service
company
that
you
have
this
assurance
that
nobody
who's
on
that
floor
or
inside
that
company
grounds
is
that
it
really
that's
what
it
comes
down
to,
but
I
think
people
are
viewing
this
as
something
quite
different
and
my
intent
is
not
to
cut
small
businesses
at
risk,
rather
than
my
focus
is
to
make
sure
that
our
general
public
is
not
at
risk
of
this
virus.
Okay,.
E
Well,
I
appreciate
that
and
again
I
see
so
many
areas
where
we
totally
agree.
One
is
that
employees
should
not
have
to
go
to
work
if
they're
sick.
It's
a
public
health
and
public
safety
issue.
If
they
do,
we
both
agree.
We
all
agree
that
these
employees
should
get
some
type
of
compensation
if
they're
off
for
sick
leave.
E
It's
just
a
question
of
how
that's
executed
and
the
mechanics
logistics
of
that
so
I
think
that's
where
I'm
struggling
in
terms
of
how
the
get
money
into
the
pockets
of
those
employees
without
damaging
or
putting
small
businesses,
particularly
out
of
out
of
business,
because
as
we
know,
if
they're
out
of
business,
those
employees
don't
have
a
job
at
all.
So
how
do
we
reconcile
that?
So
that's
where
I
need
additional
time
to
work
through
that,
hopefully
you
know
getting
analysis
and
feedback
from
staff
as
well.
C
C
I
want
to
make
sure
that
when
I
come
into
this
building,
that
the
people
who
are
working
here
have
paid
sick
time
off
and
that
nobody
is
there,
because
their
force
could
be
there
to
put
money
on
the
table
to
food
on
the
table
to
keep
a
roof
over
their
heads.
And
that's.
This
is
what
it
really
all
is
all
about
and
I
think.
Our
federal
government
is
also
responding
to
our
small
businesses
by
having
some
of
these
money
flowing
and
with
some
liquidity
to
small
businesses.
C
A
D
Again,
I'm
also
disappointed
with
waiting
with
more
time,
because
I
don't
feel
that
waiting
and
although
I
appreciate
the
compromise
with
the
vice
mayor,
but
I
don't
feel
waiting
is
helpful.
I
think
if
the
CDC
were
here
in
this
room,
they
would
say:
let's
move
on
this
as
quickly
as
possible.
I
spent
part
of
my
day
going
and
visiting
essential
businesses
in
District,
seven,
who
are
practicing
social
distancing,
doing
takeout
food
there's
a
lot
of
construction
and
trucking
companies
checking
in
on
them
a
lot
of
those
employees.
D
Don't
have
sick
leave
right
food
workers,
health
care,
a
lot
of
third
of
health
care
workers,
don't
have
sick
leave.
My
mother,
who,
thankfully,
is
staying
at
home,
has
a
caregiver
right
and,
and
most
caregivers,
don't
have
sick
leave
and
so
I
just
you
know,
thank
you
for
the
compromise.
I
just
am
disappointed
and
would
urge
everyone
to
move
as
quickly
as
possible,
because
I
think
that
hourly
workers
that
still
have
a
job
are
grateful
for
having
a
job
and
are
already
stressed
and
are
going
to
go
to
work
sick.
Thank
you
all.
G
N
Okay,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
their
videos.
We
will
work
on
whatever
ordens
that
were
directed.
However,
the
details
of
the
ordinance
are
going
to
be
important.
There
are
eight
cities
that
have
it,
so
it
is
possible
to
do
it
most
of
the
I
believe
all
of
the
eight
cities
have
it
apply
throughout
the
term
of
employment.
We
need
to
know
if,
in
fact,
what
this
council
is
asking
us
to
do,
is
it
just
for
the
term
of
this
emergency
or
is
it
something
that
will
continue
after
the
emergency?
N
So
we
know
how
to
draft
it.
Also,
there
are
a
lot
of
different
elements
of
the
ordinance
that
need
to
be
specified,
and
hopefully,
if
we
can
get
that
next
week,
we
can
then
start
moving
forward
to
try
to
draft
an
ordinance
that
will
we
can
bring
before
you
so
that
you
can,
and
yes,
we
would
do
an
urgency
ordinance
as
well
as
the
second
ordinance
just
like
we
did
the
eviction,
so
they
would
take
fact
immediately
upon
council
adopting
it.
Okay.
N
No
I'm
saying
next
week
when
we
bring
you
the
information
that
you're
asking
in
order
to
determine
how
much,
if
you
want
to
go
forward
with
it
and
how
you
want
to
go
forward
it.
Those
are
the
kind
of
directions
our
office
will
need,
so
that
we
can
properly
draft
the
ordinance
with
the
details
that
we
need
in
order
to
bring
it
forward.
Understood.
N
What
the
difference,
if
they
would
simply
be
a
difference
in
in
the
term,
the
ordinance
would
probably
be
the
same,
but
that's
something
for
the
council
to
decide.
Do
we
need
all
of
these
provisions
just
for
the
short
term,
or
is
it
something
that
we
want
in
both
cases?
It's
it's
just
a
question
of
getting
specific
directions,
so
we
know:
do
we
put
provisions
that
it's
only
for
emergency
purposes,
or
is
it
from
that
from
now
on?
N
A
Just
thinking
about
a
lot
of
questions,
I've
come
up
and
I
know
we'll
discuss
this
in
greater
detail
next
week.
We
may
want
to
think
about
with
regard
to
councilmember
Davis's
question
about
those
private
sector,
businesses
that
don't
differentiate
between
sick
leave
and
time
off
called
fto
I've
been
employed
by
one
of
those
before
us,
wow
that,
where
you've
got
maybe
some
minimum
threshold
of
FTO
that
that
would
then
could
be
converted.
A
So
it
wouldn't
be
creating
a
whole
new
yeah,
a
whole
new
obligation
that
didn't
exist,
where
there's
clearly
genuine
effort
of
the
employer
to
provide
a
generous
leave
policy.
So
anyway,
I
think
we
can
work
through
those
details.
But
these
are
all
things
I
know
we
have
to
think
through,
as
we
put
this
out,
because
we
know
that,
as
we've
been
dealing
with
the
county
ordinance
or
the
emergency
order
that
came
down,
it
seems
like
a
century
ago.
A
It's
just
a
day
and
a
half
ago
we're
all
spending
an
enormous
amount
of
time
trying
to
clarify
what
is
not
a
very
clearly
written
emergency
order
and
that's
an
enormous
distraction
for
an
organization
that
has
to
be
focused
on
delivering
critical
services
right
now
and
so
I
think
we
do
need
to
take
the
time
to
make
sure
we
understand
what
we're
doing.
Okay,
anything
further
on
the
motion,
let's
vote,
I.
