A
We
are
live,
sir.
Thank
you.
I'd
like
to
welcome
everybody
to
this
special
meeting
of
the
governing
body,
our
first
of
the
new
year
and
our
first
with
the
new
members
of
the
council,
welcome
and
congratulations
and
to
everybody
who
is
rejoining
us
happy
new
year.
A
It's
for
the
record,
it's
405
by
my
clock
and
we'll
begin
with
the
pledge
of
allegiance
led
by
councillor
rivera
salute
to
the
new
mexico
flag,
led
by
councilwoman
vereal
invocation,
councillor
cassid,
and
then,
if
anyone
has
a
remembrance,
they'd
like
to
share
we'll
take
that
at
that
time
before
we
go
to
the
regular
order
of
business.
So
please
stand
for
those
different.
Those
different
pledges.
B
D
Thank
you
so
much
everyone,
I'm
very
excited
to
be
with
everyone
here
in
the
new
year
and
as
we
start
with
our
very
first
meeting
with
our
new
governing
body,
I
just
ask
god
or
whatever
higher
power
that
you
believe
in
or
whatever
spirituality,
you
believe
in
to
help
guide
us
through
this
year,
in
making
good
decisions
in
working
together
and
working
out
our
differences
in
a
way
that
can
be
collaborative
and
productive,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
serving
our
constituents,
our
city
and
our
community,
to
the
best
of
our
ability.
A
A
If
not,
I
would
just
ask
us
all
to
take
a
moment
to
think
of
the
people
who
are
struggling
with
or
have
been
afflicted
by
covet
or
other
challenges
during
this
holiday
season,
as
we
begin
a
new
year
hope
for
a
year
of
health
and
safety
and
well-being
for
everybody
in
in
our
lives
and
in
our
community.
So
let's
take
a
minute
for
that.
A
E
F
G
A
E
Yes,
sir
councillor
cassette,
yes,
counselor
travis,
yes,
counselor
lee
garcia,.
H
B
E
Counselor
rometoworth,
yes,
counselor,
our
councilwoman
villarreal.
A
A
A
Thank
you
very
much
item
number
seven
on
our
agenda
for
anyone
who
is
watching
or
listening
at
home.
We
have
three
appointments.
That
are
the
work
of
item
number.
Seven
first
is
the
appointment
of
counselor
sidney
lindell
as
the
mayor
pro
tem,
and
that
requires
a
vote
of
the
governing
body
move
to
approve.
Second,
there's
a
motion
to
approve
that
appointment.
Is
there
discussion?
A
If
not,
could
the
please
call
the
role
I
can
say?
Could
the
clerk
please
call
the
role?
Could
our
our
clerk
substitute?
Please
call
the
role.
F
I
H
C
C
A
Very
good
and,
according
to
my
notes,
the
announcement
of
the
appointment
of
council
romero
worth
as
our
parliamentarian
does
not
require
a
vote,
but
is
worth
noting,
since
we
turned
to
the
parliamentarian
for
guidance
on
a
number
of
issues
of
the
processes
that
govern
the
governing
body
meetings.
But
there
is
the
appointment
of
councillor
merworth
to
be
continue
to
be
our
parliamentarian,
no
vote
required.
A
E
A
I
heard
councillor
cassette
with
the
second:
is
there
discussion.
C
C
A
A
Should
there
be
issues
that
come
up
regarding
boundaries,
but
it
has
not
been
meeting
for
some
time,
so
it's
I
likened
it
to
and
maybe
inappropriately,
but
to
an
appendix
it's
there,
but
it's
not
functioning
at
the
moment.
It
just
hasn't
been
extracted.
C
Thanks
thanks
for
that
in
information,
the
other
thing
I
was
wondering
is:
would
that
entity
then
be
utilized
for
any
discussions
around
the
annexation.
A
It
under
certain
circumstances,
it
would
be
the
I
think,
what
I
exp.
This
question
has
come
up
before
what
happened
with
the
discussion
that
was
initiated
by
commissioner
hanson
around
the
current
annexation
was
that
she
had
taken
the
initiative
to
suggest
that
two
county
commissioners,
two
city
councilors,
would
sit
down
and
talk
it
through,
rather
than
referring
it
to
this
particular
body,
which
is
why
it
is
structured
the
way
it
is.
J
Hey,
however,
councilwoman
bureau
happy
new
year
here
to
everybody,
it's
good
to
see
you,
I
I
think
it
will
depend
a
little
bit
on
what
the
outcome
of
those
negotiations
are,
whether
or
not
this
group
would
need
to
meet
and
under
under
what
set
of
recommendations.
So
at
this
point
it's
not
required
to
meet,
but
whether
or
not
it
will
be,
I
think,
is
somewhat
to
be
determined.
C
Okay,
that's
helpful.
Thank
you.
I
think
the
other.
The
other
question
I
had
was
just
to
make
sure
everything
is
consistent.
C
J
A
A
If
not,
could
the
clerk
or
the
clerk's
assistant
call
the
role
please.
F
A
F
A
Thank
you.
If,
if
you
could
read
us
item
number
eight
a
and
then
we'll
turn
it
over
to
the
hr
director,
but
maybe
you
could
read
the
item,
so
the
public
can
hear
it
in
its
full.
E
K
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
first
want
to
apologize
that
this
wasn't
uploaded
as
timely
as
we
all
would
have
liked
to
have
seen
it
uploaded,
and
so
I
apologize
for
that.
So
I
will
start
by
providing
a
little
bit
of
background
as
to
why
we're
recommending
this
temporary
modification
of
our
rules.
Essentially
right
now,
when
we
have
employees
who
are
identified
as
a
close
contact
or
testing
positive
for
covid,
we
go
through
a
process
to
allow
for
administrative
leave
with
pay
for
these
employees.
K
We
did
a
rule
change
back
in
march
of
2020
and,
as
we
all
know,
this
thing
everything
changes
with
kovid,
and
so
we
would
like
to
propose
a
temporary
change
to
our
rules
and
regulations
that
would
allow
for
employees
to
have
access
to
administrative
leave
with
pay
if
they
either
test
positive
and
are
unable
to
telework
or
they
are
close
contact
and
are
unable
to
tell
work
in
a
more
user-friendly
way.
K
So
what
happens
right
now
is
they
have
to
fill
out
a
form
and
request
that
with
the
city
manager?
K
So
what
we're
proposing
with
this
temporary
change
for
calendar
year
2022
is
to
put
the
number
of
hours
identified
in
the
resolution
depending
on
the
type
of
employee
that
you
are
and
then,
if
employees
are
identified
as
needing
that
lead,
they
will
have
access
to
it
immediately.
Instead
of
having
to
fill
out
the
paperwork,
you
know
request
the
leave
from
the
city
manager
then
report
it
to
payroll.
K
It
would
all
be
done
seamlessly
if
this
was
approved,
and
I
think
it's
a
it's
user
friendly
for
employees
and
it's
more
streamlined
for
the
supervisors
for
payroll
for
hr
and
it's
employees
know
that
they
have
access
to
this
leave
at
the
onset.
So
I
think
that's
the
most
important
thing
it's
similar
to
the
way
we
enacted
the
family's
first
coronavirus
response
act
lead,
so
it
would
be
80
hours
for
regular,
full-time
employees,
40
hours
for
part-time
employees
and
then
96
hours
for
firefighters
who
work
the
shift
schedule.
K
So
that
is
the
reason
for
this
and
it'll
be
for
calendar
year
2022
and
then,
of
course,
if
we
need
to
make
any
adjustments
or
modifications,
we
would
definitely
come
to
before
the
governing
body.
If
we
needed
to
request
any
additional
changes.
A
Thank
you
burn
any
questions
about
the
the
purposes
for
this
or
how
it
will
be
functionally
implemented.
Let's
see,
we
got
a
bunch
of
hands
up,
let's
start
with
councilwoman
vieira
al,
then
country
cassette,
romero
worth
and
glendale
and
councillor
lee
garcia.
C
C
It
sounds
like
more
of
like
a
streamlined
process
with
a
form
versus
being
signed
off
by
the
city
manager.
So
maybe
you
could
answer
that
first
and
then
I
have
a
few
other
questions.
K
Mr
mayor
councillor,
viral
yes,
that's
correct
under
the
current
policy
also,
it
allows
for
five
days.
I
know
the
quarantine
period
is
is
potentially
changing
for
this
state
of
new
mexico.
The
cdc
has
already
recommended
that
change,
but
we
felt
like
the
80
hours
for
regular
employees
would
allow
for
additional
access
in
the
event
that
someone
either
gets
it
twice
or
is
exposed.
K
C
Mr
mayor
council,
via
rail-
yes,
it
is,
did
we
determine?
K
Mayor
council
via
rail-
I
don't
have
that
number
right
now,
but
we
can
certainly
run
some
reports
and
get
that
for
you.
C
K
It
mr
mayor,
comes
to
video
rail.
It's
if
someone
tests
positive
an
employee
test
positive
or,
if
they're,
a
close
contact.
K
C
But
not
leave
for
a
family
member
that
may
be
sick,
correct.
Okay,
all
right!
I
guess
what
I'm
wanting
to
know
more
about
is
what
would
be
the
incentive
for
employees
to
get
vaccinated
and
boostered.
C
yet
the
numbers
in
that
department
have
been
the
highest
in
terms
of
testing
positive,
and
I
don't
know
if
we
know
the
details
about
vaccinated
versus
unvaccinated,
but
I'm
just
curious
what
would
be
the
incentive
to
get
vaccinated
if
we're
also
providing
administrative
leave?
I
know
there's
some
things
that
are
un.
You
know
that
are
hard
to
determine
because
kobit
is
it's
unpredictable,
but
I
guess
I
just
wanted
to
understand
that
more.
If
you
could
speak
to
that.
K
K
If,
if
someone
is
the
way
that
the
rules
are
right
now
for
the
sitting,
if
someone
is
not
fully
vaccinated
and
they're
exposed,
they
have
to
continue
to
be
out
on
so
they
will
have
access
if
we're
talking
about
a
firefighter,
for
example,
for
they
will
have
access
to
96
hours.
If
this
is
approved,
if
they
continue
to
be
a
close
contact
after
that,
96
hours
is
exhausted.
You
know,
then
they
will
be
on
their
own.
C
Yeah
I
get.
I
understand
that
I
guess
I'm
just
trying
to
understand:
what's
the
incentive
for
our
employees
to
get
vaccinated,
given
that
we
do
have
administrative
leave
for
them
if
they
do
have
sick
get
sick,
which
I
think
is
important,
I'm
just
trying
to
see
the
correlation
between
incentivizing
and
supporting
our
staff
in
that
effort.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
all
have
any
information
or
details
about
or
have
thought
about
that.
K
We
have-
and
this
has
been
a
really
delicate
topic,
because
we
we
want
to
encourage
people
our
employees
to
get
vaccinated.
K
We
have
had
these
discussions
to
ensure
that
we're
also
complying
with
employment
laws
to
not
treat
any
particular
group
of
employees
differently,
and
so
that's
been
something
that
we've
been
trying
to
balance
as
we
put
forward
some
of
these
requests
for
changes
so
that
that
has
been
discussed
counselor
and
I
think
it's
a
really
good
question,
and
it
is
a
tough
balance
to
have
you
know
what
what
do
we
do
here
to
ensure
that
we're
not
violating
anybody's
rights,
not
providing
additional
benefits
or
different
beliefs,
and
so
that's
been
somewhat
of
a
challenge
to
try
to
balance
that
out.
C
I
understand
I'll
yield
the
floor
since
our
whole
team
has.
C
A
K
Mr
mayor,
the
current
process
would
be
that
employees
would
fill
out
the
form
request,
the
lead
from
the
city
manager,
and
they
would
be
done
one
by
one,
so
it
would
be
a
very
manual
process.
K
Some
could
get
missed
if
someone's,
really
sick
and
un
and
unable
to
complete
the
form
they
may
miss
out
on
the
benefit.
So
there
could
be
some
issues
there.
This
would
again
just
be
a
more
streamlined
process.
We
would
still
be
issuing
out
the
administrative
leave,
we're
just
trying
to
make
it
more
efficient.
A
Thank
you,
councillor
cassid.
You
have
the
floor.
D
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor.
I
just
wanted
to
piggyback
off
of
the
conversation
that
councilwoman
vitoria
was
bringing
up
regarding
that
challenge
of
you
know
wanting
to
make
sure
that
we
are
incentivizing
encouraging
staff
to
do
everything
that
is
in
their
power
to
prevent
the
spread
of
this
disease.
I
think
the
other
side
of
that
coin
is
that
we
also
need
to
incentivize
them
to
stay
home
so
that
they
don't
spread
it
to
other
people.
D
D
I
would
just
be
really
curious
to
see
how
this
how
this
all
broke
down,
how
much
has
been
used
and
if
there
was
anybody
that
was
potentially
left
in
a
situation
where
they
were
not
able
to
work
because
of
covid
and
also
were
not
able
to
receive
pay.
So
whenever
we
could
get
that
information,
I
would.
I
would
greatly
appreciate
it
just
to
clarify
so
councilwoman
veterielle
asked
about
if
this
leave
would
cover
taking
care
of
a
family
member.
K
Mr
mayor
councillor
cassette
this.
The
modification
to
the
sick
leave
policy
would
allow
employees
to
utilize
their
sick
leave
to
address
this
matter,
particular
matter.
So
if
the
school
closed
down
and
the
parent
had
to
stay
home,
our
our
current
policy
that
was
adopted
in
march
of
2020
allowed
the
flexibility
of
the
sickly
to
be
used
for
this
purpose,
whereas
before
march
of
2020,
it
did
not
allow
for
that.
D
So
the
sick
leave
can
be
used,
but
the
covet
admin
leave
can
only
be
used
if
they
themselves
have
tested
positive
or
have
to
quarantine,
correct.
Okay,
thank
you
for
clarifying
that
for
me
and
just
I
think
that
there's
a
little
typo
on
page
one
line
22,
it
says
to
care
for
a
household
member
whose
school
or
day
time
has
is
canceled,
I'm
going
to
guess
that
should
be
day
care
because
daytime
keeps
happening
even
with
cobit.
So
just
a
quick
note:
there.
D
I
think
that's,
I
think
those
are
all
my
questions
right
now.
I,
without
the
information
about
what
the
admin
leave
really
looked
like
last
year.
I
think
that's
really
important
to
have
for
us
to
be
able
to
to
analyze
that,
and,
as
you
mentioned,
some
of
the
quarantine
policies
are
going
to
potentially
be
changing,
so
we
may
have
to
have
some
more
flexibility
with
this
as
well.
D
K
K
You
know
outside
of
the
request
process,
it
would
automatically
populate
in
their
leave
approval
balance
and
then
bi-weekly,
hr
and
payroll
work
on
numerous
reports.
This
would
be
an
additional
report
to
say:
employee
x
has
access
to
you,
know,
30
hours
of
covet
admin
lead
for
this
pay
period
and
then,
if
the
the
only
thing
the
employee
would
need
to
do
is
fill
it
out
on
the
time
record
saying
that
they
are
submitting
for
30
hours
of
private
administration,
so
it
it
just
streamlines
that
process
for
the
employee.
D
Okay
and
if
we
hopefully
not
but
happen
to
still
be
in
this
position
in
2023,
this
does
not
carry
over,
but
they
would
start
with.
Assuming
we
don't
change
anything,
they
would
start
with
an
additional
80
hours
or
they'd
start
with
just
the
standard
80
hours
next
year.
K
Mr
mayor
councillor
cassette,
my
recommendation
would
be
that
we
would
analyze
this
as
we
are
with
their
cases
monthly,
and
then
we
would
bring
forward
a
new,
a
new
change
for
calendar
year.
2023.
D
G
Thank
you
mayor
and
just
to
pick
up
where
councilwoman
cassette
left
off,
so
it
doesn't.
If
you
don't
use
it,
it
doesn't
roll
to
the
next
year.
But
if
we
don't
change
this
policy,
do
we
have
to
renew
the
resolution
again
in
2023
in
order
to
give
people
a
new,
to
set
the
clock
again
and
have
the
80
hours
start
fresh
in
a
new
year?
If
assuming
this
pandemic
is
going
to
go
on
a
couple
more
years,.
K
Mr
mayor
councillor,
romero
worked,
yes,
we
would
bring
forth
the
new
resolution.
G
Okay-
and
it
doesn't
really
say
in
here
that
this
is
a
one-time
80
hours,
what
happens
if
you
use
up
your
80
hours?
Let's
say
you
get
covered
more
than
once.
What
happens?
Do
you
get
another
I
mean?
Are
we
intending
that?
This
is
one
time
80
hours
and
that
we
should,
I
don't
know?
Well,
I
I
do
know
of
people
who
have
been
infected
more
than
once.
So
what
happens
if
that
happens,
and
you've
used
your
80
hours
of
admin.
K
Mr
mayor
councillor
romero,
where
the
intent
of
this
is
to
have
it
be
a
one-time
for
calendar
year
2022-
and
this
is
this
admin
league,
if
approved,
would
be
granted
regardless
of
a
cruel
accrual
accrued
hours
of
sick
or
annual
week
by
any
employee.
So,
in
the
event
that
someone
needed
more
than
80
hours
for
a
regular
free
time,
full-time
employee,
they
could
utilize
any
other
people
that
they
have
in
their
food
balances.
G
I'm
sorry
either
you
or
I
cut
out
they
could
use
their
accrued
sick
leave.
Is
that
what
you
were
saying.
G
J
J
And
only
available
during
calendar
year,
2022.
yeah,
so
the
intent
there.
If
there's
any
concern
about
it,
not
being
clear,
we
could
add
to
that.
But
the
intent
is
that
it's
80
hours
and
that
all
employees
are
given
the
same
opportunity
to
get
it.
But
certainly
if
someone
is
unvaccinated
they're,
much
more
likely
to
run
out.
G
I
don't
know
something
that
says
that
it's
one
time,
okay
and
then
I
guess
the
other
question
is:
I
I'd
be
interested
to
know
when
you
compile
the
data,
how
many
people
have
used
administrative
leave
more
than
once
like
when
you
know
have
they
gotten
sick
and
they've
used
all
80
in
one
in
one
infection
or
have
they
had
to
come
back
and
dip
again
because
they
got
covet
again
or
I
guess
that
would
be
the
only
instance
right,
because
you
can
only
use
admin
like
leave.
G
K
Mr
mayor
council
remember
work
this.
This
was
drafted
and
feedback
was
provided
before
the
cdc
issued
their
new
guidance
on
quarantine
periods.
So
this
would
carry
someone
for
one
quarantine
period
under
the
previous
cdc
guidelines
and
the
same
for
firefighters,
the
96.
so
yeah.
So
that's
where
that
number
came
from.
G
Okay,
thanks
thanks
for
kind
of
drawing
a
line
under
that
that's
very
helpful,
and
then
I
guess
my
only
other
question
is:
if
we
I,
I
don't
know
how
other
counselors
will
feel
about
adopting
this
before
we
can
before
we
have
the
additional
data,
but
if
we
were
not
to
pass
this
until
the
12th,
what
is
what
is
that
is
that,
what's
the
downside
of
that
to
the
operation
of
the
city.
K
Mr
mayor
council,
real
madrid,
it's
it's
a
lot
of
paperwork
that
employees
have
to
fill
out.
We
go
back
and
forth
with
the
supervisors.
K
It's
really
challenging
for
payroll,
because
there's
not
a
lot
of
time
like
especially
depending
on
when
someone
test
positive
or
is
aware
that
they
were
close
contact,
we're
running
up
against
the
clock
with
payroll
deadlines,
so
it
makes
it
really
difficult
administratively
to
to
get
him
processed
and-
and
sometimes
it
could
result
in
an
employee
not
receiving
the
hours
timely
for
that
particular
pay
period.
So
we're
trying
to
minimize
those
those
situations
that
happen.
G
K
Mr
mayor
councillor,
romero
worth
yes,
we
hr
is
the
department
that
makes
contact
with
all
employees,
so
we
go
through
a
series
of
questions
and
that's
how
we
would
develop
our
report
that
we
would
say
for
this
pay
period.
Payroll
here
are
all
the
employees
who
are
approved
access
to
the
provide
administrative
leave,
so
it
would
be,
it
would
be
done
in
that
manner.
A
Thank
you,
councillor,
lee
garcia,
you
have
the
floor.
H
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
I
am
basically
a
lot
of
my
questions
were
answered
during
during
the
previous
comments,
and
I
just
kind
of
wanted
a
little
bit
more
clarification
in
regards
to
the
this.
This.
This
current
proposal
is
being
done
similar
to
one
that
was
pre
to
last
calendar
year.
Is
that
correct,
or
there
has
not
been
one.
K
Okay,
mr
mayor
councillor,
lee
garcia,
we
did
have
a
change
to
our
policy
in
march
of
2020
that
provided
some
administrative
leave
to
our
employees,
we're
just
trying
to
streamline
it
and
give
them
a
balance
now
that
they
would
have
access
to
it
directly
instead
of
completing
a
form
and
having
that
form
go
through
an
approval
process
before
they
can
access
it.
So
there
was
a
mechanism
by
which
they
could
have
administratively.
That
was
just
the
processing.
Just
looked
a
little
different.
H
Thank
you
and
I
guess
my
other
question
would
be
in
regards
to
the
funding
for
this
it
comes
out
of.
Where
does
it
come
from?
Obviously,
it's
not
coming
out
of
the
employees,
sick,
leave
or
or
regular
leave
time.
So
what
is
the
funding
come
for?
This.
K
Mr
mayor
councillor,
lee
garcia,
that's
a
good
question
so
for
employees
who
are
in
positions
that
don't
require
filling
a
post,
so
if
someone
is
out
sick
and
their
post
doesn't
require
someone
else
to
fill
it
in.
Of
course,
their
positions
are
already
budgeted,
we're
just
not
having
any
work
produced
while
they're
on
leave.
So
technically
it's
already
budgeted
and
comes
out
of
the
budget
from
where
they're
paid.
K
If
it
is
a
post
position,
primarily
firefighters
who,
if
they're
on
leave,
we
need
somebody
else
to
fill
in
or
police
officers,
then
it
would
be.
You
know
that
time
is
already
budgeted,
but
the
overtime
cost
would
be
an
increase
and
it
would
come
out
of
whatever
fund
that
they
are
originally
paid
out
of.
H
Thank
you,
and
then
I
guess
just
the
last
not
question
but
a
comment.
I
just
also
would
go
back
to
the
vaccinated
versus
unvaccinated
and
be
careful
on
how
we
administer
that
just
to
not
discriminate
against
someone
who
has
chosen
not
to
be
vaccinated.
So
that
would
be
my
last
comment.
Thank
you
very
much
I'll
be
on
the
floor.
A
Thank
you
counselor
councillor,
lindell.
You
have
the
floor.
I
I
can
see
why
this
has
come
forward,
but
I'm
not
at
all
comfortable
with
how
it
is
at
this
point
in
time.
I
I
We
talk
about
it
and
we
talk
about
it
and
we
talk
about
it.
I
think
we
should
take
a
look
at
through
hr
and
through
legal.
I
I
The
way
this
stands
right
now
I
don't
have
much
comfort
level
with
it.
So,
let's
see
what
the
council
wants
to
do
with
it,
but
I
think
everything
that's
been
brought
up
is
a
good
point.
I
appreciate
counselor
via
real,
joining
me
and
wanting
to
motivate
people
to
get
vaccinated
and
if
this
needs
some
more
work
to
find
the
proper
path
for
that,
let's,
let's
take
another
week,
so
that's
where
I
am
with
it.
Thank
you
mayor.
A
Thank
you,
councillor,
council
rivera.
You
have
the
floor.
B
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
ms
selzer,
so
this
is
based
on
the
current
cbc
guidelines
right,
which
calls
for
five
day.
I
think,
quarantine,
whether
you
have
it
or
whether
you
have
exposure
to
it.
K
K
Mr
mayor
council,
rivera
yes
based
on
the
current
cdc
guidelines,
it
would
cover
two
exposures.
So
my
if
we
were
to
evaluate
this
for
six
months,
perhaps
we
can
cut
the
hours
in
half,
especially
in
light
of
the
new
cdc
guidelines
and
revisit
it
maybe
like
in
june.
Maybe
that
provides
a
little
more
comfort
level
for
everyone,
and
then
we
will
continue
to
provide
some
statistics
on
leave
throughout
that
time
frame
and
cases
percentages
of
vaccinated
versus
unvaccinated.
All
those
data
points
for
you
all
to
review.
B
All
right
and
the
difference
in
hours
for
firefighters
is
because,
if
they're,
if
they
receive
an
exposure
at
the
start
of
the
week,
they
work
a
48-hour
schedule.
B
K
K
B
You
know
if
the
fire
department
staff
are
keeping
statistics
on
exposure,
whether
known
or
unknown,
because
they
get
called
to
every
sick
call,
and
sometimes
they
know
the
patient
has
coveted
and
sometimes
they
don't
and
maybe
later.
B
And
I
heard
recently
that
do
we
still
have
a
covet
ambulance
that
responds
specifically
to
those
types
of
emergencies.
B
Right
and
then
also,
I
know
that
they
reported
that
we've
been
doing
more
transfers
from
the
airport
to
the
hospital,
specifically
for
covet
patients
that
are
coming
from
other
parts
of
the
state
or
even
in
some
cases
from
other
states,
because
we
have
a
availability
here
at
christus,
I
guess
is
taking
most
of
them
so
just
curious
as
to
those
stats
as
well.
B
How
much
the
transfers
from
the
airport
to
either
one
of
the
hospitals
here
has
either
increased
or
stabilized
with
regards
to
covet
patients,
and
then,
lastly,
I
believe
fire
department-
I
don't
know
if
police
department
oil
has,
they
all
have
minimum
staffing
requirements
right.
So,
even
if
you
have
a
crew
out
a
whole
fire
station,
potentially
out
on
covid
quarantine,
it
doesn't
mean
you
close
the
fire
station
down
right.
You
have
to
still
fill
those
roles.
You
have
to
hire
an
ambulance.
B
You
have
to
hire
the
crews
for
a
fire
engine
and
that's
where
some
of
the
increased
cost
is
coming
from.
Is
that
correct.
K
Mr
mr
mayor,
councillor,
rivera
yes,
that's
where
calling
in
different
employees
to
cover
those
shifts
would
result
in
over
time
potentially
for
those
employees.
B
All
right,
that's
I.
I
agree
with
what
you're
doing
whether
we
do
it
for
six
months
or
a
year.
I
think
we
could
always
revisit
it.
If,
if
we
don't
decide
to
come
back
in
in
june,
I
think
we
can
revisit
it
at
any
time,
but
I
do
agree
with
the
changes.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
just
want
to
echo
the
same
sentiments
my
colleagues
have
mentioned
earlier
in
regards
to
providing
the
appropriate
systems
and
tools
to
encourage
our
fellow
santa
fe
city,
santa
fe
team
members
to
get
vaccinated.
I
think
that's
one
of
the
best
ways
for
us
as
a
community
to
stay
safe.
F
F
I
think
we
really
need
to
reevaluate
the
numbers
we
we
need
to
be
able
to
provide
the
appropriate
resources
should
we
want
to
provide
this
benefit
to
employees,
and
I
think
it's
better
for
us
to
use
more
recent
numbers,
even
if
it's
november
december,
just
because
the
explosion
right
now
we're
seeing
in
cases
and
it's
not
likely
to
go
away.
It's
only.
F
You
know
the
the
statistics
and
data
shows
it's
only
going
to
get
worse
for
for
the
immediate
future,
and
so
with
that,
I
think
I'd
like
for
the
numbers
to
be
revised
and
with
with
the
with
the
most
recent
data
that
we
have.
You
know,
as
I
mentioned
with
december,
being
nearly
triple
what
the
data
was
used
to
estimate
these
costs
that
way,
we're
not
coming
back
and
having
to
reallocate
resources,
I'm
also
in
favor
of
looking
at
this
within
six
months.
F
This
virus
is
continually
changing.
If
we
remember
where
we
were
six
months
ago,
I
mean
we,
we
all
thought
we
were
out
of
the
woods
in
some
sense
and
we
were
getting
better
and
then
delta
hit
us.
It
knocked
us
on
the
ground.
We
started
to
pick
ourselves
up
from
that
now.
Omicron
has
just
put
us
back
on
our
back
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
be
flexible
and
and
not
have
the
one-year
commitment
to
this.
F
I
think
who
knows
where
we're
going
to
be
in
six
months
honestly,
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
provide
that
flexibility,
and
I
would
even
say,
let's
look
at
a
quarterly
update
on
this.
We
we
might
have
folks
that
might
have
three
exposures.
I
mean,
especially
when
you're
talking
about
folks
that
deal
with
the
public,
like
our
police
officers,
our
fire,
our
alternative
response
unit.
Folks,
we
need
to
be
able
to
provide
them
the
tools
that
allow
them
to
continue
to
provide
the
critical
services
to
our
community.
F
With
that,
I
don't
know
if
we're
ready
for
a
motion.
I
think
this
needs
to
be
postponed
until
next
week
to
get
the
appropriate
data
updates.
That
way
we
can,
as
a
council,
commit
or
make
it
the
appropriate
decision
on
what
we're
going
to
be
committing
to.
So
with
that,
I
don't
know
if
I
can
make
a
motion
to
postpone
a
decision
on
this
until
our
january
12th
council
meeting.
A
A
Second,
so
there's
a
motion
from
councilor,
michael
garcia,
to
postpone
this
matter
till
the
12th
and
a
second
from
councilwoman
villarreal
is
their
discussion.
A
I
I
just
want
to
be
clear,
director
salazar
between
now
and
the
12th
on
the
questions
that
have
been
raised
about
the
existing
policy,
the
number
of
hours,
the
incentives
or
lack
thereof
for
vaccination.
The
current
policy
will
stay
in
place,
which
is
simply
the
one
that's
stated
in
this
resolution.
The
only
thing
the
resolution
changes
is
the
paper
work
process,
not
the
policy.
K
J
J
This
does
establish
a
specific
number
of
hours,
which
I
think
does
incentivize
vaccinated
persons
or
at
least
provides
them
a
better
situation,
because
they're
less
likely
to
be
required
to
isolate
or
quarantine.
So
there's
there's
a
bit
of
a
difference
and
then
any
additional
administrative
leave
would
be
discretionary
beyond
those
hours.
This
would
guarantee
a
certain
amount
of
hours
for
all
employees.
A
Thank
you
any
other
comments
or
questions.
A
I'm
counselor,
garcia,
you're,
you're,
michael
garcia,
your
hands
still
up
is
that
to
speak
or
just
it's
the
old
hand.
I'm
sorry.
G
A
H
Thank
you
mayor.
I
I
I
just
had
one
last
question
in
regards
to
all
the
public
safety.
I
wrote
down
that
with
the
firefighters,
but
is
how
is
the
police
department
being
addressed
with
this
as
well?
Do
they
fall
under
public
safety
with
the
firefighters.
K
Mr
mayor
councillor,
lee
garcia,
yes,
they
are
public
safety
and,
and
they
would
be,
it
would
apply
the
same.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
counselor
anyone
else
I,
having
listened
to
the
questions,
I'm
perfectly
happy
to
revisit
this
in
six
months.
I
think
that's
a
reasonable
observation,
given
the
changes
that
we're
witnessing
the
question
about
ten
days,
five
days,
that
change
in
fact
came
recently
and
is
not
universally
being
hailed
as
a
good
move.
I
think
from
some
quarters.
A
The
criticism
has
been
made
that
the
five
shift
from
10
to
five
is
less
about
science
and
more
about
workforce
availability,
and
I
know
that
other
countries
have
rejected
the
cdc's
guideline
as
not
in
their
best
interest.
So
it's
not.
This
is
a
moving
target.
There's
very
little
total
certainty
that
we
can
claim
on
any
front.
I
think
the
major
shift
that
the
director
salazar
is
recommending
has
less
to
do
with
policy
and
more
to
do
with
ease
of
processing.
A
A
So
I,
if
we'd
like
to
take
it
up
in
six
months
and
revisit
the
utilization
of
the
of
the
resource,
I'm
I'm
comfortable
with
that
as
well.
I
just
think
we're,
I'm
not
sure
exactly
what
additional
data
will
tell
us
about
whether
or
not
the
the
paperwork
change
is
going
to
make
a
big
difference
in
the
overall
policy
councilwoman
via
al.
You
have
the
floor.
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
think
the
data
for
me
would
help
so
we
can
determine
if
that's
enough
or
sufficient
hours,
based
on
the
trends
that
we
saw
last
year.
I
know
things
are
shifting
a
little
bit,
but
what
I
wanted
to
see
is
are
these
hours
enough,
and
then
I
do
agree
that
six
months
could
be
the
time
frame
just
because
there
may
think
there
may
be
things
that
shift
with
the
variance.
So
that
was
for
me.
C
It
was
just
helpful
to
kind
of
see
what
the
trends
were
from
last
year
and
then,
if
that
incentive
like
incentive
piece,
what
what
can
we
do?
If
there's
any
incentive
aspects
to
this,
I'm
not
sure
if
there
will
be,
but
that's
what
I
was
really
wanting
to
see
and
the
data
that
we
talked
about
how
many
times
people
were
exposed
if
it
was
more
than
once,
so
I
think
it's
more
just
like
making
sure
those
hours
are
sufficient
for
our
employees.
A
Thank
you.
It
is
interesting
just
to
take
take
the
floor.
One
more
time
before
I
recognize
council
romeroworth.
We
are
speculating
about
how
long
the
current
omicron
spike
will
last
and
what
will
happen
and
here
again
there's
no
certainty.
We've
seen
south
africa
have
its
profile
change
dramatically
from
when
omicron
first
hit
to
a
fairly
interesting.
A
Lowering
of
cases
there's
speculation
and
I
don't
have-
I
don't
have
a
degree
in
science-
I'm
not
even
as
qualified
by
any
stretch
as
counselor
cassette
with
public
health,
but
there
is
some
speculation
that
the
spike
we're
seeing
with
omicron
will
potentially
go
down
relatively
quickly
as
it
has
in
in
south
africa.
If
that
were
to
be
the
case,
then
a
six-month
review
would
certainly
be
well
warranted,
so
we
would
know
more
about
how
omicron
and
other
variants
are
affecting
our
workforce
and
the
people
of
the
city.
G
Thank
you
mayor,
so
any
leave
that
is
granted
between
now
and
and
the
12th
could
that
and
if,
let's
say
we
stick
with
this
80
hours
or
the
way
the
structure's
laid
out
it,
wouldn't
it
could
be
anybody
who
got
leave
between
now
and
then
it
could
be
against
this
80.
If
we
ultimately
approve
it
or
is
it
anything
we
grant
going
to
start
when
we
actually
approve
it.
K
Mr
mayor
council
romeroworth,
I
think
it
will
depend
how
we
craft
the
language
it
with
any
additions
to
the
resolution.
The
intent
of
this
one
would
be
starting
from
this
point
forward
if
it
was
approved.
K
So
if
we
were
going
to
say
we're
going
to
deduct
it,
if
you
receive
lead
from
january
3rd
through
the
12th,
then
we
would
have
to
build
that
in
I
don't
know.
If
erin
has
anything
else,
you'd
like
to
ask
me
mayor.
J
Wherever
councilmember
worth,
I
think
we
would
have
to
apply
the
existing
personnel
rule
because
it
is
in
place
currently
so
generally
so.
Employee
rights
to
leave
would
have
to
be
based
on
the
role
that
was
in
place
at
the
at
the
time.
I
guess,
if
we're
giving
additional
benefit.
So
if
we're
retroactively,
applying
a
higher
benefit,
then
that's
probably
fine,
but
if
we're
gonna
deduct
from
something
we're
giving
to
other
people
prospectively,
I
wouldn't
I
recommend
against
that.
J
So
I
would
not
recommend
that
we
reduce
the
number
of
hours
provided
to
city
employees.
If
something
happens
before
the
rule
is
placed
in
effect,
if
that
makes
sense,.
G
A
Thank
you,
director,
salazar,
your
hand
was
up
on
a
different
matter
and
I
didn't
recognize
you
did.
You
want
to
speak
to
something.
K
Yes,
real
quick,
mr
mayor
on
the
point
regarding
people
who
are
needing
to
request
leave
more
than
once.
I
just
want
to
put
a
reminder
out
there
of
what
our
current
quarantine
policy
is.
So
if
you
are
fully
vaccinated
and
you're
identified
as
a
close
contact-
and
you
don't
have
any
symptoms-
you're
not
required
to
quarantine
the
people
who
are
not
vaccinated
and
are
close
contact
regardless
of
symptoms
or
not
are
required
to
quarantine.
K
I
A
A
Very
good
ever
just
to
look
around
on
the
hollywood
squares
everybody.
What
everybody's
name
was
called.
Am
I
correct
everybody
got
a
vote
on
this
one?
Okay,
fair
enough!
Thank
you.
In
that
case,
we
will
take
it
back
up
on
the
12th
according
to
the
motion,
and
there
is
no
other
business
before
this
meeting
and
we
are
adjourned
thanks.
Everybody.
