          OKAY. 
          UM, WE DON'T HAVE AN ITEM THREE, WHICH IS TYPICALLY SAVED FOR, UH, MINUTES APPROVAL SINCE THIS IS A SPECIAL SESSION. 
          UM, SO AT THIS POINT, 
          [4. Briefing and possible action on the City’s response and preparedness for COVID 19.]
UM, WE ARE GONNA MOVE RIGHT INTO OUR AGENDA TODAY, AND THAT'S A SINGLE ITEM. 
          I'LL HAVE THE CLERK GO AHEAD AND READ THE CAPTION BRIEFING AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE CITY'S RESPONSE AND PREPAREDNESS FOR C OVID 19 AND SUPPLEMENT TO THE POSTED AGENDAS AND ORDINANCE EXTENDING THE DECLARATION OF PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY ISSUED ON MONDAY, MARCH 23RD, 2020 BY MAYOR RON NUREMBERG UNTIL 11:59 PM ON THURSDAY, APRIL 9TH, 2020, TO CONTINUE ACTIVE PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE FOR C OVID 19 CONTINGENCIES. 
          OKAY. 
          BEFORE, UH, WE SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, UH, I'LL GO AHEAD AND CALL THEM NOW. 
          AND, UM, IF, IF I CAN HAVE EVERYONE'S COOPERATION NOT TO TOUCH THE MICROPHONE, YOU'RE GONNA BE USING THE MICROPHONE RIGHT THERE ON THE STAND. 
          UH, SO JACK, YOU'RE UP AND WE'LL BE FOLLOWED BY MOLLY WRIGHT. 
          YES, MAYOR NURNBERG, OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR SAN ANTONIO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS JACK M FINGER, WE THE CITIZENS, THROUGH NOT JUST ONE SOURCE OF THE MEDIA, BUT VARIOUS SOURCES. 
          WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE A NATIONAL CRISIS. 
          CONSEQUENTLY, WE ARE WILLING TO GIVE YOU OUR ELECTED LEADERS A CHANCE TO LEAD US OUT OF IT. 
          WE ARE WILLING TO GIVE UP A FEW FREEDOMS AS WHILE THIS CRISIS PROCEEDS, BUT PLEASE KNOW THAT ONCE WE, THE PEOPLE LEARN THAT THE CRISIS IS SUBSIDING, ONCE WE KNOW THAT, UH, THIS IS GOING TO GO AWAY AND THAT PEOPLE WILL BE SAFE, WE DO EXPECT YOU CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR NURENBERG TO EASE UP ON THE RESTRICTIONS THAT YOU PLACED UPON US. 
          YES, AS YOU KNOW, TYRANTS ENJOY THE IDEA OF NATIONAL CRISIS TO PLACE UNREASONABLE RESTRICTIONS UPON THEIR CITIZENS. 
          BUT WE LIVE IN AMERICA. 
          WE HAVE A CONSTITUTION AND TOO MANY PEOPLE KNOW THEIR RIGHTS. 
          YES. 
          CONSEQUENTLY, WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE CURVE BEING FLATTENED AND THAT YOU DOING THE RIGHT THING AND THEN LIFTING THINGS WHEN THE TIME COMES AND YES. 
          UH, NOW ONE OTHER ISSUE THAT COMES UP. 
          WE, THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, WE HAVE SISTER CITIES FROM TIME TO TIME WE ENGAGE IN THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH CITIES ALL AROUND THE WORLD. 
          AND BY GOLLY, I THINK WE EVEN HAVE A FEW IN CHINA. 
          THE QUESTION IS, IS WUHAN  ONE OF THOSE SISTER CITIES? IF SO, JUST MAYBE WE'D WANT TO START CONSIDERING CUTTING TIES ON SUCH. 
          WE HAVE US REPRESENTATIVES, LLOYD DOGGETT SHIP, ROY JOAQUIN CASTRO, MR. HENRY CUELLAR, YOU AS A CITY, YOU HAVE SOMETHING CALLED LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVES. 
          AND YOU CAN TELL 
          [00:10:01]
OUR US CONGRESSMAN WHAT TO SAY AND DO AND TO TELL THEM WHAT WE WANT AND DO NOT WANT WHEN IT COMES TO OUR NATIONAL GOVERNMENT, YOU CAN TELL THEM, WE, WE WANT CHINA TO GET SPANKED FOR HAVING GIVEN US THIS TERRIBLE PLAGUE UPON US. 
          YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT. 
          FINALLY, UH, PEOPLE WONDERING, GEE WHIZ, WHAT HAPPENS IF WE HAVE, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE TOILET PAPER? WELL, HERE'S A NOVEL SUGGESTION. 
          JUST LOOK IN THE LIVING ROOM IN THAT BIG STACK OF MAIL, MAIL OUTS AND FLYERS YOU GOT FROM LAST AND MAYORAL . 
          THANK YOU, MR. FINGER. 
          USE THAT. 
          THANK YOU MOLLY WRIGHT. 
          UH OH. 
          THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. 
          UM, FIRST AND FOREMOST, I WANTED TO JUST TELL ALL OF YOU MY, UM, OUR CITY LEADERS, OUR CITY LEADERS, UM, MY HEART REALLY DOES GO OUT TO ALL OF YOU, UM, IN THIS TIME OF CRISIS. 
          AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT ALL OF YOU'RE DOING FROM THE CITY, S A P D, EVERYONE AND WHAT EVERYONE'S TRYING TO DO TO KEEP US ALL SAFE. 
          UM, I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THAT. 
          UM, MY PASSIONS AND MY MOUTH AND MY EMAILS DON'T MATCH THAT. 
          BUT I REALLY DO CARE AND I REALLY DO HAVE HEART FOR ALL OF YOU GUYS AND WHAT Y'ALL ARE DOING AND SACRIFICING TO KEEP US ALL SAFE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. 
          OKAY, I'M GONNA TRY AND NOT CRY, OKAY? I JUST WANNA MAKE QUICK POINTS ON HAVEN FOR HOPE. 
          I HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU FOR MONTHS HOW HAVEN P C Y COURTYARD IS NOT SAFE FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE. 
          I TOLD HOME BASE WITH HOMELESS STRATEGIC PLAN AND ALL OF MY STORIES OF LIVED EXPERIENCES AT HAVEN FOR HOPE, AND HERE WE ARE, HAVEN FOR HOPE COMPROMISED BY AN UNFORTUNATE VICTIM OR SO OF THE CENTRAL MED, AND THEY SERVE CLIENTS, NOT JUST AT HAVEN FOR HOPE, BUT THEY SERVE RESIDENTS OUTSIDE OF HAVEN FOR HOPE. 
          SO HOW MANY CLIENTS HAVE BEEN AFFECTED NOW? AND ON THAT POINT, I'VE BEEN ASKING ALSO, COUNCILMAN TREO, THAT WE PLEASE OPEN UP THE DOWNTOWN PARKS. 
          THE DOWNTOWN PARKS ARE SO MUCH SAFER THAN HAVEN FOR HOPE, P C Y COURTYARD. 
          I'VE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS, AND Y'ALL BEEN IGNORING ME FOR ALL THAT TIME. 
          AND NUMBER TWO, A HUGE THANK YOU TO VICTORIA, THE DIRECTOR OF POLICY FOR IRAN BERG, UM, FOR GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF THINGS WITH SAHA, RESTRICTING FOOD BANK DELIVERIES AND, AND THEIR ATTEMPTED FOOD DELIVERIES. 
          AND OUT A FEW D THE DIFFERENT SAHA PROPERTIES. 
          I HEARD HOW THE VOLUNTEERS WERE TELLING THE SAHA RESIDENTS WHO WERE INSTRUCTED BY FOOD BANK TO GO TO THESE DISTRIBUTION CENTERS, THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY BEING DENIED WHEN THE FOOD BANK TOLD 'EM TO GO THERE. 
          AND THEY SAID, WE'RE DENYING YOU BECAUSE YOU DON'T OWN A CAR. 
          SO SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE ACTUALLY WENT BACK HOME AND STARVED TO DEATH. 
          I DON'T KNOW. 
          AND LAST POINT, ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE OPEN UP THE DOWNTOWN PARKS. 
          IT IS SO MUCH SAFER TO SLEEP IN THE OUTDOOR NATURE OF THE PARK. 
          AND ALSO THE, OH, I'M SORRY, ONE MORE THING. 
          THE FACEBOOK ATTORNEY LIVESTREAM THAT I WAS PART OF, WHICH REALLY WAS ODD, BUT IT WAS ALSO MADE CLEAR THAT THE ATTORNEY SAID THAT THE S A P D ARE GONNA START GIVING HOMELESS PEOPLE TICKETS FOR, FOR, SORRY, FOR, UM, UM, CONGREGATING IN LARGE GROUPS SUCH AS THE ENCAMPMENTS. 
          THANK YOU, MS. WRIGHT. 
          OKAY, THAT'S EVERYONE WHO'S SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, UH, TODAY, UH, FOR OUR CITY COUNCIL, UM, SPECIAL SESSION. 
          I WILL REMIND FOLKS, UM, WE DO HAVE A, UH, FULL CITY COUNCIL HERE, BUT AS YOU SEE, THERE ARE A FEW FOLKS THAT ARE ON SCREENS, UH, FOR, UH, THEIR OWN, UH, CONSIDERATION AND SAFETY. 
          UM, AND I'M GONNA ASK, UH, THOSE FOLKS, UH, AS WE GET TO ANY ACTION OF THE ITEMS TODAY, UH, TO GO AHEAD AND SIGNAL YOUR VOTE WITH A RAISED HAND. 
          UM, AND FOR THE, UH, FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR AUDIENCE. 
          UH, CITY COUNCIL MAY CONVENE INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION AT ANY TIME IF THERE ARE ISSUES, UH, OF SECURITY OR LEGAL MATTERS TO DISCUSS. 
          [00:15:01]
BUT TODAY'S SESSION IS A PUBLIC SESSION, AND SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND ASK ERIC TO KICK US OFF. 
          MORNING, MAYOR COUNCIL, THANK YOU. 
          UM, THIS MORNING WE'VE GOT A PRESENTATION, UH, THAT WILL UPDATE YOU, UH, BOTH FROM THE UNIFIED COMMAND AND PUBLIC HEALTH PERSPECTIVE, UH, AN UPDATE ON FEDERAL LEGISLATION, UM, AND, UM, UH, UH, THE STATE EFFORTS, UM, A PRESENTATION ON, UM, SMALL BUSINESSES AND, UH, WHAT WE ARE SEEING BOTH AT THE FEDERAL AND STATE LEVEL AND LOCAL IMPACTS AND, UM, OPPORTUNITIES, UH, A FINANCIAL UPDATE, UH, TO THAT MARIA WILL PROVIDE WITH SOME PROJECTIONS. 
          WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH, UH, MR. STEVE, DR. 
          STEVE EVANS NEVINS, UH, A LOCAL ECONOMIST TO HELP US GUIDE BOTH THROUGH THE PROJECTIONS OF HOW LONG WE WILL BE IN THIS PERIOD, UH, BUT ALSO THE LENGTH OF TIME, UH, WE EXPECT TO BE IN A RECOVERY PHASE. 
          AND, UM, MARIA WILL SHARE WITH YOU SOME UPDATES. 
          THEY'RE VERY PRELIMINARY, UM, BUT WE THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, ANDY WILL UPDATE, UH, THE COUNCIL ON THE DECLARATION, UH, THAT YOU WILL BE ASKED TO CONSIDER, UH, THIS MORNING. 
          UM, MAYOR, OVERALL, FROM AN ORGANIZATIONAL STANDPOINT, UM, WE'RE UP TO, UH, 1600 EMPLOYEES THAT ARE REMOTE WORKING. 
          WE STILL HAVE A NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE BEEN REDEPLOYED TO EFFORTS SUCH AS DELIVERING SENIOR MEALS, UM, UH, UH, ASSISTING AT THE FOOD BANK, UM, HELPING WITH THE, UH, METRO HEALTH, UM, C OVID 19 HOTLINE. 
          AND, UM, A LOT OF THAT IS, UH, CONTINUING. 
          UH, I CAN TELL YOU THAT I AM CERTAINLY VERY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT THE EMPLOYEES, UH, HAVE DONE, UH, AND THE, UH, RESILIENCE OF THEM. 
          AND, UH, THESE TIMES ARE UNCERTAIN. 
          AND AS I SAID LAST WEEK, THERE ISN'T A PLAYBOOK, BUT, UH, WE ARE, UM, TRYING TO MANAGE AHEAD OF THE CURVE, UH, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITH OUR PARTNERS, UM, THIS MORNING. 
          SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER. 
          I THINK WE WILL START WITH CHIEF HOOD AND DON, UH, AND THEN GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          UH, GOOD MORNING, MAYOR, UH, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. 
          UH, I WANNA THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP THROUGH THIS CRISIS. 
          ERIC, THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP SO FAR. 
          IT'S BEEN AMAZING. 
          AND SO WE'RE GONNA GIVE A REPORT ON UNIFIED COMMAND, SO WE'LL GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. 
          MOST OF YOU KNOW, I'M NOT A READER, BUT WE HAVE SO MANY PARTNERS THAT HAVE WORKED VERY HARD, UM, IN TRYING TO PROTECT THIS REGION. 
          WE STARTED OUR PLANNING IN JANUARY 17TH WITH C OVID ONE, WHICH WAS TAKING IN, UH, PATIENTS FROM THE CRUISE SHIP. 
          AND SO YOU LOOK AT THIS SCREEN, BUT THERE'S A LOT MORE PARTNERS THAT ARE REPRESENTED, AND MOST OF THEM ARE PROBABLY LOOKING AT THIS TV SCREEN AT THE E O C, SO I WANNA THANK THEM IN ADVANCE. 
          BUT, UM, THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, BAYAR COUNTY, TEXAS DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, SAN ANTONIO FIRE DEPARTMENT, SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT, SAN ANTONIO METROPOLITAN HEALTH DISTRICT, STRAC, TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF STATE HEALTH SERVICES, REGION EIGHT, UM, SAN ANTONIO, UM, EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER, BEXAR COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT, TEXAS EMERGENCY, UH, E T M F, UH, THE ARM O, WHICH IS A REGIONAL MEDICAL OPERATIONS CENTER. 
          UM, OUR SAN ANTONIO MEDICAL DOCTOR'S OFFICE OF, UH, MEDICAL DIRECTION, BEXAR COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, AND BEXAR COUNTY FIRE MARSHALS. 
          SO WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER A ROBUST GROUP OF ABOUT 60 MEMBERS THAT ARE WORKING AT OUR E O C EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          WE'VE HAD AN ADVANTAGE OF BEING ABLE TO PLAN, UM, FROM C OVID ONE TO OUR PHASE OF C OVID TWO. 
          SO, AS I MENTIONED, WE'VE BEEN PLANNING SINCE THE 17TH OF JANUARY. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          SO, OUR ADMINISTRATIVE OBJECTIVES, WE'VE HAD NUMEROUS STRATEGY SESSIONS, AND SO THESE ARE GONNA BE OUR OBJECTIVES FROM BEGINNING OF THIS INCIDENT TILL WE DEMOBILIZE AND, AND WE ARE DONE. 
          AND SO WE'RE GONNA GO OVER THOSE, BUT WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THE SAFETY AND WELLNESS OF OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, OF OUR HOSPITAL WORKERS, OF, OF ALL OF OUR PUBLIC SAFETY PARTNERS. 
          AND THEN HOW DO WE PROTECT THE CITIZENS? 'CAUSE IF WE CAN'T PROTECT OURSELVES, WE CANNOT PROTECT THE CITIZENS. 
          WE'LL TOUCH ON PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, UH, COMMUNICATIONS, WHICH IS CRITICAL. 
          TESTING, DATA INTEGRATION ANALYSIS, SURGE MANAGEMENT. 
          AND THEN WE'RE GONNA TALK A LITTLE ABOUT, ABOUT THE INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          SO, P P E, PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. 
          [00:20:01]
EVERYBODY HEARS THAT. 
          DO WE HAVE ENOUGH? WHERE'S IT AT? DO WE NEED TO GET MORE? YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE ALL QUESTIONS I COULD PROBABLY SAY YES TO, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT ASSESSING WHAT IS AVAILABLE IN THIS REGION FROM EVERY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, FROM EVERY FIRE DEPARTMENT, WHETHER IT'S VOLUNTEER, E F D, OR CITY DEPARTMENT. 
          WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT. 
          WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE BURN RATE IS FOR EACH AGENCY, FOR EACH HOSPITAL, SO WE CAN MANAGE THAT. 
          AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE NEVER REALLY DONE BEFORE. 
          BUT I WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY SETS OF P P E ENGINE FIVE IS GOING THROUGH ON A DAY. 
          I NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY SETS OF P P E WE ARE GOING THROUGH ON A SHIFT. 
          AND SO THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO ASSESS. 
          THE STRATEGIC NATIONAL STOCKPILE, WE HAVE RECEIVED SOME DELIVERIES OF THAT AT THIS TIME, AND THAT'S BEING MANAGED THROUGH STRIKE TO THE HOSPITALS. 
          WE CAN ONLY ORDER UP ON A THREE DAY SUPPLY. 
          SO THAT'S GONNA ELIMINATE HOARDING ON, ON SUPPLIES. 
          SO WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING OUT WHAT WE NEED, HOW DO WE REPLACE WHO NEEDS TO REPLACEMENTS? HOW DO WE CONSERVATE WHAT WE HAVE? AND SO WE'RE DOING THAT ON THE FIRE, ON THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT THIS REGION AS FAR AS OUR ASSESSMENTS. 
          SO WE'RE ONLY SENDING ONE PERSON IN, AND WE'RE USING SOCIAL DISTANCING ON NON-CRITICAL CALLS TO GAIN INFORMATION. 
          SO WE'RE TRYING TO LIMIT OUR, OUR P P E USE ON A DAILY BASIS. 
          AND THIS IS GOING OUT TO EVERY DEPARTMENT, EVERY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY IN THIS REGION. 
          AND THEN WHAT ARE OUR ALTERNATIVES? WHAT'S OUR PLAN A, OUR PLAN B, AND OUR PLAN C. 
          WE HAVE THOSE, BUT THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE LOOK AT EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          IT'S GONNA BE A CRITICAL ISSUE THAT WE, UM, ADDRESS EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          WE'RE WORKING HARD WITH, UH, PROCUREMENT FROM THE CITY WITH FINANCE. 
          UM, SO WE ARE ALL IN ONE BUCKET AS FAR AS, UM, GAINING OUR P P E, DISTRIBUTING OUR P P E AND UNDERSTANDING HOW IT'S BEING USED. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO, TESTING, AND I'M GONNA LET DON JUMP INTO THE TESTING HERE ON HER SLIDES. 
          BUT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED A TESTING LOCATION AT THE FAIRGROUNDS. 
          AND, UM, WE HAVE AN EMBEDDED TWO OFFICERS EMBEDDED WITH THE STATE OPERATIONS CENTER. 
          SO THEY ARE TALKING EVERY DAY WITH THE FEMA REPRESENTATIVES THAT ARE DOING THE FEDERAL TESTING. 
          NOW THAT THEY'RE MANAGING THAT. 
          AND THEY SAY SAN ANTONIO IS A PLATINUM SYSTEM AS FAR AS WORKING WITH OTHER CITIES IN THIS STATE AND OTHER CITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY. 
          WHAT WE ARE DOING IS A TEMPLATE FOR OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO LOOK AT AND MODEL. 
          AND SO, AGAIN, FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE SITTING IN THAT E O C THAT ARE SITTING BEHIND ME, TO MY LEFT, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR THAT HARD WORK. 
          SO WE ARE WORKING VERY HARD AT THAT LOCATION, AND IT'S WORKING OUT VERY WELL. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          GETTING THE WORD OUT. 
          HOW DO YOU GET THE WORD OUT TO YOUR EMPLOYEES WHEN THEY'RE FIRST RESPONDERS? SO, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE, WE HAD A LABOR MANAGEMENT LETTER FROM OUR LOCAL 6 2 4 TO OUR MEMBERS TALKING ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THEM SAFE, HOW WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE TEMPERATURES, HOW WE'RE GONNA SCREEN ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA DO TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR FIREFIGHTERS ARE, ARE SAFE AND COMFORTABLE. 
          WE HAVE SENT THAT SAME INFORMATION OUT TO DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. 
          SO THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE CONTINUE TO DO TO, UM, TO GET THE WORD OUT. 
          WE HAVE USED WEBINARS. 
          EVERY SHIFT IN OUR DEPARTMENT HAS GONE THROUGH A WEBINAR TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. 
          WE HAVE, UH, ANSWERED QUESTIONS TO EVERY AGENCY, UH, THAT I'VE MENTIONED, AND WE'RE TRYING TO GET THESE THINGS OUT TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH THE JIC. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          SURGE MANAGEMENT. 
          YOU'VE SEEN OTHER CITIES WHERE THEY'VE GOTTEN, UH, HOTELS OR BUILT FIELD HOSPITALS OR ALL OF THOSE THINGS. 
          AND SO THE FIRST PIECE OF SURGE MANAGEMENT FOR US IS TO NOT LET THE E M S UNITS IN THIS SYSTEM, IN THIS REGION OVERLOAD OUR HOSPITALS, OVERLOADING OUR HOSPITALS WITH FLU VICTIMS OR NON-EMERGENT PATIENTS. 
          SO THE FIRST PART OF SURGE MANAGEMENT IS WITH THE FIRST RESPONDERS TO MANAGE WHAT WE ARE SENDING INTO THE HOSPITAL. 
          AND IF THEY DON'T NEED TO GO, WE NEED TO ENCOURAGE THEM NOT TO GO AND NOT TO TRANSPORT THEM, BECAUSE WE DO NOT WANT OUR E M S SYSTEM TO OVERLOAD THE HOSPITALS. 
          WE'RE LOOKING AT STEP DOWN FACILITIES FOR THE HOSPITALS TO WHERE MAYBE PEOPLE ARE IN SURGERY AND THEY'RE, UH, GONNA BE MOVED OUT QUICKER THAN NORMAL. 
          WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? WE'VE LOOKED AT OUR HOMELESS POPULATION, OUR GENERAL POPULATION NEEDS, WHERE DO WE NEED TO PUT THEM? AND WE'VE ALSO LOOKED FOR OUR FIRST RESPONDERS AND, AND, AND, AND, AND MEDICAL STAFFS. 
          SO WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THE FIRST PHASE OF, 
          [00:25:01]
OF, OF ALLOCATING, UM, RESOURCES FOR THAT TO DO RECONNAISSANCE ON HOTELS AND BUILDINGS AND SITES TO WHERE WE CAN PUSH THAT PLAN OUT. 
          AND WE ARE PREPARED TO PUSH THAT PLAN OUT, BUT WE'RE WORKING ON TRIGGERS WITH THE HOSPITALS TO UNDERSTAND WHEN THEY ARE AT THEIR CAPACITIES AND WHEN WE NEED TO MOVE. 
          SO WE HAVE AN OPERATIONS TEAM, A LOGISTICS TEAM, AND A PLANNING TEAM THAT IS WORKING VERY HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE PLANS AND CONTINGENCIES TO MANAGE THE SURGE IF NECESSARY. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          UNIFIED COMMAND. 
          YOU'RE LOOKING AT A UNIFIED COMMAND SYSTEM THAT IS BUILT THAT WOULD MATCH ANY HURRICANE, ANY NATURAL DISASTER, ANY WILDFIRE, ANY ACT OF EVIL THAT I'VE EVER BEEN A PART OF. 
          WE HAVE BUILT THIS OUT WITH EVERY PLAN, EVERY CONTINGENCY LOOKING AT AT THE WORLD AND WHAT'S GOING ON. 
          SO WE ARE RUNNING OPERATIONS, WE'RE RUN RUNNING LOGISTICS, WE'RE RUNNING A PLANNING SECTION AND A FINANCE SECTION. 
          SO THE MEMBERS THAT ARE THE SECTION HEADS OF EACH OF THESE, UM, UNITS, THEY'VE OFTEN BEEN DEPLOYED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY FOR DISASTERS. 
          AND, AND I TOLD THEM THE OTHER DAY THAT WHENEVER I'VE BEEN TO A DISASTER, I GET TO GO HOME. 
          I GET TO GO HOME TO COMFORT AND FAMILIARITY AND FAMILY, AND I GET TO LEAVE THIS, NONE OF US GET TO LEAVE THIS. 
          SO WE ARE COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THE MOST EFFICIENT, PROFESSIONAL, INNOVATIVE RESPONSE POSSIBLE. 
          AND THAT BEING SAID, UM, NEXT SLIDE. 
          I THINK DON'S COMING UP, BUT I WANT TO THANK DON EMRICH FOR HER LEADERSHIP. 
          UM, SHE DIDN'T GET A HONEYMOON COMING INTO THIS POSITION, AND SHE'S DONE AN AMAZING JOB. 
          I ALSO WANNA THANK MY UNIFIED COMMAND PARTNER, ERIC EPLEY FROM STRAC. 
          ERIC HAS A PULSE OF THE HOSPITALS IN THIS REGION. 
          SOMEBODY SAID HE'S A WIZARD. 
          HE IS THAT. 
          SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR QUESTIONS. 
          WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. 
          WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, . 
          OH, GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. 
          THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR LEADERSHIP. 
          UM, I HAVE ALLERGIES. 
          I THINK THIS IS THE SAN ANTONIO ALLERGY THAT EVERYBODY WAS WARNING ME FOR, SO I'M NOT SICK. 
          UM, AND I HAVE HAD SOME REST. 
          SO THIS IS JUST SOME ALLERGIES THAT ARE HAPPENING. 
          SO AGAIN, GOOD MORNING. 
          I'M REALLY HAPPY TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE THIS MORNING ON ALL OF THE WORK FROM THE PUBLIC HEALTH SIDE. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I REALLY LOVE ABOUT THIS WORK AND WHAT I DID IN OREGON IS TRYING TO REALLY INTEGRATE THAT POPULATION HEALTH WORK THAT PUBLIC HEALTH DOES TO THE INDIVIDUAL HEALTH THAT THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR DOES. 
          AND OFTENTIMES THERE'S A CHASM BETWEEN THE TWO, RIGHT? BUT WE'VE DONE AN AMAZING JOB HERE OF, TO INTEGRATE BOTH THAT COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT WE LOOK AT FROM A PUBLIC HEALTH PERSPECTIVE AND THAT INDIVIDUAL FIRST RESPONDER, HEALTHCARE WORKER AND PATIENT. 
          AND YOU'LL SEE A LITTLE BIT OF THAT INFORMATION WHEN I GO THROUGH MY SLIDES OF ABOUT WHAT THAT INTEGRATION LOOKS LIKE. 
          SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO THE NATIONAL, UM, CURRENT SITUATIONS, CERTAINLY EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT NUMBER KEEPS GOING UP. 
          UM, CURRENTLY WE ARE JUST UNDER, UM, 50,000 CASES IN THE UNITED STATES WITH, UM, TOTAL DEATHS OF REACHING 600, UM, IN THE UNITED STATES. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          HERE IN BEXAR COUNTY, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF OUR CASE STATUS. 
          UM, TOTAL CONFIRMED CASES AS OF TODAY IS 84. 
          THOSE ARE TRAVEL RELATED OF, UM, OF THOSE THAT ARE TRAVEL RELATED ARE 36, CLOSE CONTACT IS 12, COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION IS 27. 
          WHEN WE LOOK AT THOSE PERCENTAGES, WE WERE ALL LOOKING AT THAT TRAVEL RELATED FIRST WHEN WE FIRST STARTED TALKING ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE THAT WAS KEY. 
          WE NEEDED TO SEE AT WHAT POINT WAS THIS GOING TO BECOME COMMUNITY TRANSMITTED. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE SINCE THEN SINCE WE STARTED TRACKING THE COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION HAS CERTAINLY, UM, ESCALATED AND THE PERCENTAGES OF OUR POSITIVES, UM, THAT COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION IS STARTING TO GAIN. 
          SO THAT IS A CLEAR INDICATION. 
          HAVING ONE INCIDENT OF COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION WAS, WAS AN INDICATION THAT WE NEEDED TO PIVOT THE WAY THAT WE DID OUR WORK. 
          BUT CLEARLY NOW YOU SEE THAT A LOT OF THOSE CASES THAT ARE COMING THROUGH ARE COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION. 
          SO THAT TELLS US A LOT. 
          AND THEN OF COURSE, WE KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE HAD THREE DEATHS IN THE BAYER COUNTY AREA THUS FAR. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          SO 
          [00:30:01]
I'M GONNA TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS. 
          UM, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE STARTED OUT WITH, WITH TWO MONTHS AGO. 
          AND AS OF YESTERDAY, THERE IS, UM, NO EVACUEES AT LACKLAND LACKLAND. 
          ALL OF THEM ARE SENT HOME. 
          UM, EVERYONE FROM T C I D THAT WAS IN T C I D, THEY ARE ALSO HOME AS WELL AND RECOVERING IN, UM, THEIR HOMETOWN OR AT ANOTHER FACILITY. 
          SO WE CONSIDER THAT PHASE ONE OF C OVID 19 BEING COMPLETE. 
          WE HOPE IT'S COMPLETE. 
          AND, UM, NOW ALL OF OUR FOCUS IS ON PHASE TWO, WHICH IS COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          HOTLINE INFORMATION. 
          YOU KNOW, UM, CITY MANAGER WASH TALKED ABOUT THE HOTLINE. 
          THIS IS THE PULSE OF EVERYTHING THAT WE DO. 
          THIS IS OUR QUALITATIVE DATA THAT WE ARE GETTING. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBER OF CALLS THAT WE ARE GETTING A DAY. 
          EVERY TIME A PRESS RELEASE GOES OUT, EVERY TIME THAT THERE IS A DECLARATION, EVERY SINGLE DAY, WE ARE GETTING, UM, PHONE CALLS THAT ARE COMING IN THAT ARE BEING TRACKED AND MONITORED AND COLLECTED. 
          AND THAT INFORMATION IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN SEND BACK TO STRAC, BACK TO OUR E O C AND ALL OF THE WORK, THE FOLKS THAT ARE OVER THERE SO THAT THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT THE QUESTIONS, THE CONCERNS, THE ANXIETIES ARE OF THE FOLKS THAT ARE IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          IT'S A HUGE PIECE OF DATA THAT SOMETIMES GETS LOST. 
          WE ALWAYS WANNA LOOK AT THAT QUANTIFYING DATA, BUT THAT QUALIFYING, UH, THE QUALIFY, UM, THE , I CAN'T EVEN TALK. 
          THAT TYPE OF DATA THAT'S COMING THROUGH THE PHONE BANK IS REALLY CRITICAL FOR OUR DECISIONS. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          THE SCREENING TOOL. 
          HERE IS ANOTHER PIECE OF DATA THAT WE ARE COLLECTING FROM THE PUBLIC HEALTH SIDE. 
          THE SCREENING TOOL WAS LAUNCHED A FEW DAYS AGO, AND, UM, IT IS THE, THE, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING AND TAKING THAT SELF SCREENING. 
          THERE'S TWO RATE, THE TWO REASONS WHY WE'RE DOING THIS. 
          NUMBER ONE IS THAT WE WANTED TO PROVIDE ASSURANCE. 
          PART OF OUR JOB AS A PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTITIONERS IS TO ASSURE THE COMMUNITY OF FACTUAL INFORMATION AND THAT EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE OKAY. 
          THIS SCREENING TOOL GIVES THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE WHO ARE WORRIED, THEY'RE ANXIOUS, THEY'RE SCARED, THEY DON'T KNOW WHETHER THEY HAVE THE SYMPTOMS, THEY DON'T KNOW WHETHER THEY SHOULD GET TESTING. 
          AND SO THE TESTING, THE SCREENING HERE IS BASED ON OUR PROVEN BEST PRACTICE, C D C SCREENING CRITERIA, TESTING CRITERIA. 
          WHEN THEY GO ON IT, THEY CAN ANSWER A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS AND IT LITERALLY TELLS THEM KNOW YOU'RE FINE. 
          JUST, UM, MONITOR YOUR, YOUR, YOUR SYMPTOMS AND STAY HOME. 
          DO NOT GO OUT. 
          THE OTHER PIECE OF THIS SCREENING IS, IS THAT THEY MEET SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF A TESTING CRITERIA. 
          IT OFFERS THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO AND GET TESTED. 
          SO IT'S A GREAT ASSURANCE PIECE, AND AGAIN, WE COLLECT ZIP CODE DATA ON THAT. 
          SO THAT GIVES US MORE INFORMATION THAT WE CAN MAP TO SEE WHO IS ACTUALLY ACCESSING THAT INFORMATION. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          AND HERE IT IS. 
          SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IN FRONT OF YOU IS A DATA VISUALIZATION THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR IT DEPARTMENT AND INNOVATION AS WELL AS ALL OF OUR EPIDEMIOLOGISTS. 
          THIS IS A MAP OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ACCESSING OUR SCREENING SITE. 
          THOSE THAT ARE IN GREEN. 
          IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE YELLOW, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE GREEN. 
          THOSE THAT ARE IN YELLOW, THAT'S ALL THE FOLKS THAT ARE ACTUALLY COMPLETING THE SCREENING. 
          EVERYTHING IN RED ARE THE RESULTS OF YOU SHOULD PROBABLY CALL YOUR PROVIDER. 
          SO THIS GIVES US A REALLY NICE PERSPECTIVE, UM, OF WHO'S, WHO'S, UM, WORRIED OR WHO'S ANXIOUS, OR WHO FEELS LIKE THEY NEED TO GET A TEST. 
          IT'S A GREAT STORY. 
          PIECE OF STORY FOR US. 
          REMEMBER THAT THE ONLY WAY THAT WE CAN, AS PUBLIC HEALTH REALLY ADDRESS WHAT OUR STRATEGIES ARE IS THROUGH THE DATA. 
          AND SO THE TESTING DATA HAS BEEN SLOW TO COME. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT NORMALLY EPIDEMIOLOGISTS WILL LOOK AT IS THAT, IS THAT TESTING DATA WE NEEDED OTHER THINGS TO BE ABLE TO HELP US MAKE SOME DECISIONS. 
          AND THIS SCREENING TOOL IS ONE OF THEM. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          SO WE ALSO CREATED A TESTING TASK FORCE BECAUSE WE ALSO KNEW THAT WE HAD TO GET, WE NEEDED TO BETTER HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          WHO WAS TESTING, WHERE WAS IT HAPPENING, WHAT LABS WERE GOING ON. 
          THIS IS WHAT WE KNOW TO DATE. 
          WHAT WE KNOW TO DATE IS THAT THERE ARE THREE TESTING SITES THAT ARE OPERATING. 
          NUMBER ONE, EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT OUR PRE-APPROVED TESTING SITE THAT STRAC IS REALLY LEADING. 
          AND I'LL GET A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ABOUT THAT IN A SECOND. 
          THE OTHER TESTING SITES THAT WE KNOW IS THAT TEXAS MED JUST CAME ONLINE WITH ALL OF THEIR 19 CLINICS. 
          ALL 19 CLINICS ARE NOW TESTING FOR C OVID 19, AND THEY COMMUNICA. 
          SO COMMUNICA IS ALSO TESTING ALL OF THOSE TESTING, UM, ANYTHING THAT'S BEING RUN OUT OF THOSE LABS AND ANYWHERE ELSE, THOSE POSITIVE RESULTS AND NEGATIVE, HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET THERE. 
          THANKS. 
          THANKS MAYOR FOR PUTTING THAT IN YOUR DECLARATION. 
          UM, ALL OF THE POSITIVES WILL BE COMING TO METRO HEALTH SO THAT WE CAN REPORT TO YOU ALL OF THE CASES THAT ARE OCCURRING IN BEXAR COUNTY LABS. 
          SO WE HAVE SIX LABS THAT ARE ON, UM, 
          [00:35:01]
THAT ARE ON, UM, THAT ARE OPERATING RIGHT NOW. 
          QUEST DIAGNOSTICS, LABCORP, C P L, UM, UH, UH, UT HEALTH, METHODIST AND BAPTIST. 
          SO WE HAVE SOME REALLY GOOD ROBUST OPPORTUNITIES HERE TO TEST AND TO PROCESS, WHICH WAS A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE THAN WHEN I WAS HERE LAST WEEK, RIGHT? SO THINGS ARE REALLY STARTING TO RAMP UP IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          TESTING DATA, TESTING DATA. 
          THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING OVER IN THE FREEMAN COLISEUM. 
          SO THIS IS OUR, UM, PRE-APPROVED TESTING SITE. 
          AS YOU CAN SEE, UM, THE TOTAL TESTS THAT, UM, THIS, THIS TESTING SITE HAS DONE HAS BEEN, UH, IS JUST ABOUT 750 TOTAL TESTS SINCE IT WAS STOOD UP, THE MAXIMUM, UM, TESTS THAT THEY CAN DO A DAY. 
          SO THE CAPABILITY OF TESTING THERE IS 350 TESTS A DAY. 
          SO THIS IS AMAZING. 
          AGAIN, WE'RE REALLY RAMPING UP. 
          UM, SO CURRENTLY, AS YOU CAN SEE AT THE CALLS, THE PROCESS WHERE YOU HAVE THE CALLS THAT COME IN AND THEN THEY GET, UM, SCREENED BY MEDICAL PROVIDERS AND THEN THEY CAN, UM, SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO GO OVER AND GET TESTED. 
          OUR HOTLINE NUMBER THAT WE REFERRED TO BEFORE AS WELL, THAT HOTLINE NUMBER IS A GATE TO GETTING, UM, TESTING OVER AT THIS TESTING SITE AS WELL. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          SO DATA VISUALIZATION PROJECT. 
          THIS IS ONE THAT WE'RE REALLY, REALLY EXCITED ABOUT BECAUSE NOW DATA IS STARTING TO COME IN. 
          AND SO THIS DATA VISUALIZATION PROJECT IS PART OF OUR UNIFIED COMMAND METROHEALTH, UM, INNOVATION. 
          AND IT, AND I T S D AND STRAC IS A HUGE COMPONENT OF THIS BECAUSE WE, UM, HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR HOSPITALIZATION DATA, THEIR E M S DATA, AND THEN ALL OF OUR EPIDEMIOLOGY DATA. 
          SO NOW WE CAN ACTUALLY DO SOME REALLY GOOD HOTSPOTTING AND SOME REALLY COOL INNOVATION STUFF TO HELP US MAKE REALLY GOOD DECISIONS AND TO HELP YOU ALL MAKE YOUR POLICY DECISIONS AS WELL. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          JUST TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE. 
          SO THIS IS HOT OFF THE PRESSES. 
          NO ONE'S SEEN THIS EXCEPT FOR THE FOLKS WHO WERE PREPARING THE SLIDES. 
          THIS IS HOT OFF THE PRESSES. 
          SO THIS IS, IT'S SAYING 78 BECAUSE OF COURSE WE'VE, THIS WAS CREATED BEFORE WE GOT THE LAST ITERATION OF DATA. 
          BUT WE WILL BE CREATING THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          SO WHEN NEW RATES, CASE RATES COME IN, THERE IS A TRANSFER OF THAT DATA WHERE WE CAN, WE CAN THEN UPLOAD, UM, INTO THIS DATA, DATA VISUALIZATION. 
          YOU CAN SEE THE MAP IS DESIGNED BY COUNCIL DISTRICTS, THE RED DOTS, THE LARGER THE RED DOTS, THE MORE POSITIVE CASES ARE IN THOSE AREAS. 
          NOW YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING, OH GOSH, LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE REALLY BIG RED DOTS. 
          UM, WELL, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO SEE. 
          WE NEED TO SEE. 
          WE, WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SEE THESE WHEN, WHEN WE WEREN'T TESTING. 
          SO THAT TESTING DATA IS REALLY IMPORTANT, AGAIN, FOR US TO MAKE REALLY GOOD DECISIONS. 
          UM, THE OTHER THING THAT THIS ALSO SAYS THAT IF YOU HAVE REALLY LARGE DOTS, THEN THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO COMMUNICATE TO YOUR CONSTITUENCIES TO STAY HOME. 
          STAY HOME. 
          THAT'S WHY WE HAVE DECLARATIONS. 
          THAT'S WHY WE'RE IN SHELTER IN PLACE. 
          STAY HOME AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO UPDATE THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          OKAY. 
          THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT I JUST WANTED TO MENTION WITH THAT IS THAT WE'RE ALSO WORKING TO DO, SO TO SET UP SOME MATH, MATH, MATH. 
          I CAN'T TALK, MY GOSH. 
          UM, WE WANNA DO SOME PREDICTIVE MODELING. 
          SO WE WANNA TAKE THAT DATA AND REALLY LOOK AT ON IN THE HORIZON, WHAT IS THIS DATA TELLING US TO SAY, OKAY, WHAT'S THE IMPACT GONNA BE IN THE NEXT WEEK, WHEN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS? HOW ARE OUR HOSPITALS? WHAT'S THE CAPACITY OF OUR HOSPITALS IN THE NEXT WEEK OR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS? SO WE'LL BE DOING A LOT OF THAT, UM, STATISTICAL MODELING IN THE NEAR FUTURE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND I'LL PASS IT ON OVER. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU JEFF. 
          UH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          UH, JEFF COYLE WITH THE GOVERNMENT PUBLIC AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT, AS YOU KNOW, WELL, THIS HAS ENTIRE EFFORT, HAS REQUIRED A TREMENDOUS, UH, AMOUNT OF COORDINATION BETWEEN OUR INTERGOVERNMENTAL PARTNERS. 
          YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD, UH, THE WHITE HOUSE TALKING ABOUT THE ALL OF AMERICA APPROACH, WHICH ESSENTIALLY MEANS THIS RESPONSE IS FEDERALLY SUPPORTED, STATE MANAGED, BUT LOCALLY EXECUTED. 
          AND SO THERE HAS BEEN A, A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF, UM, COORDINATION. 
          AND I WANT TO GO INTO THE FEDERAL AND STATE, UH, UPDATE FOR EACH OF YOU. 
          UH, SO, UH, FIRST OF ALL, YOU MAY HAVE WOKEN UP THIS MORNING TO SEE THAT A, UH, $2 TRILLION STIMULUS PACKAGE WAS PASSED, UH, BY THE SENATE LAST NIGHT, 96 TO ZERO. 
          IT IS NOT COMPLETE YET. 
          IT IS, UM, IT WILL NOW MOVE TO THE HOUSE, AND WE EXPECT THEY WILL TAKE IT UP IN THE NEXT 48 HOURS. 
          UH, BUT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MAJOR PIECES TO THIS, UH, THAT ARE IN OUR REGULAR SLIDES THAT WE WERE GOING THROUGH. 
          I WANNA SHOW YOU IN A SECOND, UM, OF THE $2 TRILLION, THE LARGEST STIMULUS IN US HISTORY, THERE'S $500 BILLION 
          [00:40:01]
FOR DISTRESSED INDUSTRIES, UH, SIMILAR TO THE STIMULUS BACK IN 2008. 
          THIS IS FUNDING TO HELP SUPPORT THOSE BUSINESSES. 
          UH, INCLUDES $58 BILLION FOR THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY. 
          THERE'S ALSO $100 BILLION FOR HOSPITALS TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND, AND IN PART, TO MAKE UP FOR REVENUES LOST BY CANCELING ELECTIVE SURGERIES AND PROCEDURES THAT ARE NOT OCCURRING. 
          NOW. 
          THERE'S $350 BILLION FOR SMALL BUSINESSES, UH, ALMOST ALL OF IT IN, UH, LOW INTEREST LOANS TO HELP BUSINESSES THAT ARE HURTING RIGHT NOW. 
          AND CARLOS IS GONNA GO THROUGH A LITTLE MORE, UH, DETAILS ON THAT. 
          UH, AND THERE'S $100 BILLION IN WHAT'S CALLED A STATE AND LOCAL STABILIZATION FUND, WHICH I'LL TOUCH ON IN A SECOND. 
          UM, JUST TO STEP BACK FOR A SECOND, THIS IS THE THIRD MAJOR ACTION BY CONGRESS SINCE THIS, UH, CRISIS STARTED. 
          UH, GO BACK ONE SLIDE, IF YOU WOULD, DAVID. 
          THE FIRST WAS, UH, THE SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT IN EARLY MARCH. 
          UH, AND THAT WAS ESSENTIALLY THE INITIAL RESPONSE FUNDING. 
          THAT WAS THE $8.6 BILLION THAT WAS FUNNELED TO STATES TO HELP RESPOND TO THIS. 
          AND SO, UH, I'LL GET INTO THAT IN A SECOND IN TERMS OF WHAT IT'S MEANT FOR US. 
          THE SECOND WAS THE FAMILY'S FIRST RESPONSE ACT. 
          THAT'S EFFECTIVELY THE BILL THAT, UH, GRANTED PAID SICK LEAVE AND EMERGENCY FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE ACT TO ABOUT 87 MILLION AMERICAN WORKERS, BASICALLY EMPLOYEES OF ALL ORGANIZATIONS, SMALLER THAN 500 HUNDRED, UH, EMPLOYEES. 
          AND SO THIS IS THE THIRD ONE, AND THIS IS THE MAJOR STIMULUS ONE INTENDED TO ADDRESS, UH, THE LARGER ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF THIS CRISIS. 
          LET'S GO AHEAD, DAVID. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          UH, AND SO LEMME GET INTO, UM, A COUPLE OF THE, THE SMALLER, UH, POTS OF MONEY THAT ARE DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO US AT THE CITY. 
          UH, NUMBER ONE, UH, THE POINT TO MAKE IS THAT A LOT OF THE FUNDING IS GONNA BE FLOWING TO US THROUGH EXISTING GRANT PROGRAMS, UH, FUNDING PROGRAMS, MANY OF WHICH ARE FORMULA BASED BASED ON POPULATION. 
          SO YOU'LL SEE ON THE SLIDE HERE, THERE'S ABOUT $5 BILLION THAT WOULD GO INTO C D B G, UH, THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO COME DOWN AND BE UTILIZED BY LOCAL COMMUNITIES BASED ON A POPULATION BASIS. 
          THE EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANTS ARE EFFECTIVELY, UH, IS EFFECTIVELY A FUNDING PROGRAM TO HELP HOMELESS OR THOSE WHO ARE AT RISK OF BECOMING HOMELESS, INCLUDING HELPING TO, UH, HALT POTENTIAL, UH, EVICTIONS. 
          UH, THE, UM, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION IS, UH, ALSO GONNA BE, UH, FOCUSED ON LOAN FUNDS TO HELP SPECIFIC INDUSTRIES LIKE TOURISM AND MANUFACTURING, THE MANUFACTURING SCENE, SUPPLY CHAIN STOP. 
          WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENED TO TOURISM, SO THERE'S A POT OF MONEY FOR THAT. 
          UH, THE TRANSIT, UH, AGENCIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY COUNTRY ARE ALSO HURTING SIGNIFICANTLY, INCLUDING VIA. 
          AND SO THERE'S A $25 BILLION ALLOTMENT TO, UH, TO HELP THE, UH, TRANSIT AGENCIES BOTH RESPOND IN TERMS OF CLEA KEEPING BUSES AND TRAINS AND THINGS CLEAN, BUT ALSO, UH, IN BEING ABLE TO CONTINUE THE OPERATIONS. 
          AND THERE'S A, UH, REQUIREMENT IN THERE THAT TRANSIT SYSTEMS KEEP MANY OF THEIR EMPLOYEES WORKING. 
          ALSO, NOT ON THE SLIDE, BUT, BUT EQUALLY IMPORTANT, THERE'S ANOTHER $25 BILLION IN SNAP, UH, NUTRITION FUNDING TO HELP LOCAL COMMUNITIES DEAL WITH, UH, FOOD SHORTAGES AND FOOD ISSUES. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          THE, UH, CHILDCARE DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, FUNDING TO HELP, UH, WITH CHILDCARE NEEDS. 
          SIMILAR WITH HEADSTART. 
          UH, THE LOW INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IS TO HELP WITH UTILITY BILLS AND INFLUX OF FUNDING THERE FOR FOLKS WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO MEET THOSE BILLS. 
          SIMILARLY, A RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR LOW INCOME, UH, RESIDENTS. 
          AND THEN BURN JAG IS ONE OF THE, UH, EXISTING PUBLIC SAFETY GRANTS, UH, GRANT PROGRAMS THAT WE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF. 
          IT'S CONSIDERED THE MOST FLEXIBLE, AND SO THAT WILL BE SENDING FUNDING DOWN TO THE LOCAL LEVEL TO HELP WITH PURCHASING PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND, UH, AND MANAGING JAILS AND OTHER PROGRAMS. AND SO, UH, TWO MAJOR AREAS THAT WE WERE FOCUSED ON AS THE CITY IN TERMS OF, UH, DIRECTING OUR, OUR LOBBY TEAM EFFORTS IN WASHINGTON, UH, AND WORKING WITH THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES WAS NUMBER ONE, THE STATE AND LOCAL STABILIZATION FUND. 
          UH, IT, IT LANDED AT ABOUT $150 BILLION. 
          SO THAT'S FUNDING. 
          UH, I JUST MENTIONED A LOT OF PROGRAMS THAT FUNDING WOULD GO INTO. 
          OUR OVERARCHING UNDERSTANDING OF THIS FUND IS, THIS IS GONNA BE MONEY TO HELP STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WITH THEIR OWN BUDGETS. 
          UH, WE ALSO, AS, AS CARLOS AND MARIA WILL TALK ABOUT IN A MINUTE, WE'LL BE FACING CHALLENGES, UH, FINANCIALLY. 
          AND SO THIS IS FUNDING TO HELP STABILIZE ESSENTIALLY GOVERNMENTS AT THE LOCAL AND STATE LEVEL. 
          AND THEN WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FUNDING FOR THE AVIATION INDUSTRY WASN'T ONLY FOR AIRLINES. 
          UH, OBVIOUSLY WE'VE SEEN A, A BIG 
          [00:45:01]
REDUCTION IN REVENUES AT THE AIRPORT, AND SO WE'RE PLEASED THAT THERE'S A $10 BILLION APPROPRIATION TO AIRPORTS. 
          IT'S GONNA BE BASED ON A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS. 
          PART OF IT ON 2018 IN EMPLOYMENTS. 
          UH, IT'LL BE DOLLED OUT IN A FORMULA FASHION. 
          AND THEN, UH, AND THEN THROUGH THE EXISTING FORMULAS IN THE AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM THAT EXISTS TODAY. 
          AND THEN JUST VERY QUICKLY ON THE STATE LEVEL, UH, I THINK YOU'VE SEEN MOST OF THIS, BUT JUST TO SUMMARIZE THE ACTIONS THAT HAVE TAKEN AT TAKEN PLACE AT THE STATE LEVEL. 
          NUMBER ONE, THE, UH, THE GOVERNOR HAS DECLARED A STATE OF DISASTER FOR ALL 254 COUNTIES ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS. 
          THAT ALLOWS THE STATE TO USE ALL AVAILABLE RESOURCES TO MANAGE THE SITUATION. 
          IT ACTIVATES THE STATE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN. 
          IT EMPOWERS THE, EMPOWERS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO PURSUE ANY CASES OF PRICE GOUGING. 
          AND THEN HE'S, THE GOVERNOR HAS DONE A NUMBER OF, UH, EXECUTIVE ORDERS SINCE ON MAY 19TH. 
          HE LIMITED PUBLIC GATHERINGS TO 10 PEOPLE OR LESS, UH, AS WELL AS CLOSING RESTAURANTS AND BARS OTHER THAN, THAN DRIVE-THROUGH SERVICES. 
          OF COURSE, HE, WHEN DOING THAT, STATED THAT LOCAL ENTITIES COULD GO BEYOND THAT, WHICH OF COURSE, OUR CITY HAS DONE AS HAVE MAJOR CITIES ACROSS TEXAS. 
          UH, HE ORDERED THAT ALL HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS HALT, UH, SURGERIES THAT ARE NOT MEDICALLY NECESSARY TO FREE UP SPACE AND, AND RESOURCES IN HOSPITALS, AND HAS ALSO SUSPENDED REGULATIONS TO ALLOW HOSPITALS TO TREAT MORE THAN ONE PATIENT PER ROOM IF NEEDED. 
          AND THEN ON MARCH 24TH, HE ISSUED SOME DAILY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, WHICH IS HELPFUL TO US HOSPITALS SUBMITTING DAILY REPORTS ON BED CAPACITIES TO THE STATE, AS WELL AS PROVIDING DAILY REPORTING ON THEIR TESTING, UH, BEING DONE AT THE LO AT THE PRIVATE LEVEL. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, UH, HE'S WAIVED A NUMBER OF EXISTING STATE LAWS TO HELP. 
          I THINK YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE OPEN MEETINGS WAIVER, SO WE CAN CONDUCT MEETINGS, TELECONFERENCE, UH, BASED IF NEEDED. 
          UH, HE'S WAIVED. 
          UM, THE, THE ELECTIONS REQUIREMENT ALLOWED IF GOVERNMENTS DECIDE TO MOVE THE MAY ELECTIONS TO NOVEMBER, AND THEN HE, UH, HAS BEGUN THE ANNOUNCEMENTS OF THE FEDERAL FUNDING. 
          SO IF YOU GO BACK TO THAT FIRST, UH, APPROPRIATION THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, THE 8.6 BILLION, ABOUT JUST UNDER 40 MILLION CAME TO THE STATE OF TEXAS. 
          UH, SOME OF THAT HAS BEEN DOLED OUT ALREADY, INCLUDING 1 MILLION TO OUR METRO HEALTH DISTRICT. 
          SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO LOOK FOR THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OTHER REIMBURSEMENTS AND OTHER FUNDING. 
          AND THEN JUST SHIFTING A LITTLE BIT TO THE STATE COMPTROLLER, UH, HE HAS ANNOUNCED THAT BUSINESSES THAT ARE STRUGGLING TO MEET THEIR MONTHLY SALES TAX, UH, REITS TO THE STATE, WHICH ULTIMATELY THEN COMES TO US, UH, HE'S ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE TO UPHOLD THOSE DEADLINES. 
          HE MADE VERY CLEAR THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS NEED THAT SOURCE OF FUNDING TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT THIS, UH, BUT HAS ANNOUNCED SOME SHORT-TERM PAYMENT AGREEMENTS AND SOME WAIVERS OF INTERESTS AND PENALTIES FOR BUSINESSES THAT CAN'T MEET THOSE DEADLINES, UH, TO HELP THEM. 
          AND WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO CARLOS. 
          MORNING MAYOR. 
          COUNSEL. 
          MY, MY NAME IS CARLOS RAS, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER. 
          AND BEFORE WE GET ONTO THE SMALL BUSINESS UPDATE, I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE FEDERAL STIMULUS WAS PASSED BY THE SENATE YESTERDAY. 
          WE'LL HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED BY THE HOUSE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. 
          IT'S ANTICIPATED IT'LL PASS THIS WEEK, SO IT'S NOT IN LAW YET, BUT IT'S ANTICIPATED IT'LL PASS, UH, THIS WEEK. 
          ANOTHER THING IS, WHILE THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS, IT'S A 900 PAGE, UH, BILL, AND IT APPEARS THAT THE, THE STABILIZATION FUNDING IS REIMBURSEMENT TO STATES AND CITIES FOR EXPENDITURES. 
          THEY'VE HAD TO COMBAT C OVID 19. 
          IT'S NOT TO SUPPLANT, UH, THE LOSS OF SALES, TAX REVENUE, AND OTHER FUNDING THAT THE CITY, UH, MIGHT BE LOSING. 
          SO THAT'S AN IMPORTANT THING. 
          AS MARIA GETS INTO HER PRESENTATION, YOU SHOULD KEEP IN MIND, UH, MY FOCUS WILL BE ON THE IMPACT OF C OVID 19 PRIMARILY ON SMALL BUSINESSES, UH, IN SAN ANTONIO, UH, AND THOSE EMPLOYEES. 
          THAT'S WHERE I SPEND PLAN TO SPEND MOST OF MY TIME NEXT NIGHT, PLEASE. 
          UH, LAST WEEK, THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTE, UH, PUT OUT A STUDY THAT, UM, WAS ANALYZING THE TYPES OF INDUSTRY SEC SECTORS THAT ARE MOST LIKELY VULNERABLE TO THE C OVID 19 CRISIS, AND THE CITIES THAT WOULD MOST LIKELY BE AFFECTED BECAUSE OF THE PRESENCE OF THOSE SECTORS WITHIN THAT CITY. 
          THEY CITED A MOODY'S STUDY THAT IDENTIFIED MINING AND OIL AND GAS, TRANSPORTATION, EMPLOYMENT SERVICES, TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS, AND LEISURE AND HOSPITALITY AS THE EXTREMELY, UH, ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE SECTORS. 
          SAN ANTONIO WAS LISTED BY, UH, BROOKINGS AS WITHIN THE TOP QUINTILE OF THIS INDEX, BECAUSE 18.5% OF THE 
          [00:50:01]
METRO AREA JOBS ARE IN ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE SECTORS. 
          IN ORDER TO GET A MAGNITUDE OF WHAT THIS CRISIS IS, WE, WE, ONE INDICATOR IS TO LOOK AT UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE CLAIMS. AND WHILE WE DON'T HAVE SAN ANTONIO SPECIFIC DATA YET, UH, WE DO HAVE, UH, TEXAS UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS. 
          UM, AND, AND I WANNA DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE, TO THE, TO THE, UH, CHART THERE. 
          FROM MARCH 8TH THROUGH MARCH 14TH, THERE WERE 19,968 UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE CLAIMS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. 
          THAT'S A 60% INCREASE OVER THE, THE YEAR PRIOR, THAT ONE WEEK PERIOD, THE YEAR PRIOR, ON MARCH 16TH, THAT SINGLE DAY, WE SAW 10,000 UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE CLAIMS IN THE STATE. 
          ON MARCH 17TH, THERE WERE ALMOST 20,000 INSURANCE CLAIMS, UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE CLAIMS ON THAT ONE DAY. 
          TODAY, THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND THE TEXAS WORKFORCE COMMISSION, UH, REALI, UH, RELEASED THE DATA FOR THE WEEK OF, UH, MARCH THE 15TH THROUGH THE 21ST. 
          AND SHOCKINGLY, THE NUMBERS ARE 150,000 PEOPLE FILING FOR UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE CLAIMS IN THAT ONE WEEK PERIOD. 
          IT'S 150,000 TEXANS THAT ARE FILING FOR UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE. 
          UM, MANY OF YOU MAY HAVE RECEIVED SOME COMPLAINTS FROM CONSTITUENTS OR BUSINESSES THAT THEY'RE HAVING DIFFICULTY ACCESSING THE TURK TEXAS WORKFORCE, UH, COMMISSION WEBSITE. 
          YOU CAN SEE THAT THE REASON IS BECAUSE OF THE SHEER VOLUME OF CLAIMS AND ACTIVITIES ON THE WEBSITE, UH, OUR CITY DEPARTMENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT HAS REACHED OUT TO THE T W C TO SEE HOW WE CAN BE OF ASSISTANCE. 
          AND SO WE'RE WORKING ON STRATEGIES WHERE WE CAN PROVIDE INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE THAT HOPEFULLY ANSWERS SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET AS THEY ACCESS THE T W C UH, WORK SITE. 
          UM, IN ADDITION, UH, WELL, EXCUSE ME, FROM A SMALL BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE IN SAN ANTONIO, UH, WE KNOW THAT APPROXIMATELY 9% OF THE SMALL BUSINESSES THAT IS BUSINESSES WITH A HUNDRED EMPLOYEES ARE LESS, OR WITHIN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY, WE HAVE ABOUT 58,000 SMALL BUSINESSES, AGAIN, A HUNDRED EMPLOYEES OR LESS IN BEXAR COUNTY. 
          SO WE HAVE OVER 5,400 BUSINESSES, SMALL BUSINESSES THAT ARE IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY, PRIMARILY IN THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY. 
          AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE THAT'S SCENARIO WE PLAN TO FOCUS ON AS A, AS A LOCAL GOVERNMENT. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          I'D LIKE TO TALK FIRST ABOUT RESOURCES IN THE FEDERAL STIMULUS PLAN THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE UN UNEMPLOYED. 
          UH, THE STIMULUS PACKAGE INCLUDES AN INCREASE IN UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE, UH, BENEFITS OF $600 PER WEEK FOR PEOPLE FILING UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE IN ADDITION TO WHAT THEY GET AT THE STATE LEVEL UNTIL JUNE 30TH, 2020. 
          THAT WAS A, THAT WAS THE LAST STICKING POINT ISSUE THAT, UH, THAT THE SENATE WAS HAGGLING OVER WAS THE ADDITION OF THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY, UH, ONTO THE, THE BENEFITS THAT PEOPLE ALREADY ARE ENTITLED TO. 
          UM, IN ADDITION, IT PROVIDES 13 WEEKS OF EMERGENCY UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE FOR PEOPLE WHO REMAIN UNEMPLOYED AFTER THEY'VE EXHAUSTED THEIR BENEFITS, AND THERE WOULD OTHERWISE NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR THOSE. 
          AND IT PROVIDES UP TO 39 WEEKS OF UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE TO PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT OTHERWISE ELIGIBLE FOR REGULAR UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION, SUCH AS SELF-EMPLOYED INDIVIDUALS AT THE STATE LEVEL. 
          UH, JEFF TALKED ABOUT THE, THE GOVERNOR'S EMERGENCY DECLARATION. 
          UH, THE GOVERNOR ALSO WAIVED ON MARCH 17TH, THE REQUIREMENT THAT YOU WAIT A WEEK BEFORE YOU CAN FILE FOR UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE. 
          AND HE ALSO WAIVED THE REQUIREMENT THAT YOU'LL BE ACTIVELY SEEKING EMPLOYMENT IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO RECEIVE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BENEFITS. 
          THE TEXAS WORKFORCE COMMISSION, UH, IN AN EFFORT TO TRY TO ADDRESS, UH, THESE ISSUES HAVE REALLY, UM, WORKED WITH EMPLOYERS AND ARE ENCOURAGING EMPLOYERS TO ENROLL IN THE SHARED WORK PROGRAM. 
          THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS EMPLOYER, EMPLOYERS THAT HAVE SEEN A REDUCTION IN BUSINESS TO REDUCE THE HOURS OF THEIR EMPLOYEES, BUT KEEP THEM ON THE PAYROLL, AND THEN THEY'D BE ALLOWED TO RECEIVE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BENEFITS TO SUPPLEMENT THE WAGES THAT THEY WOULD OTHERWISE RECEIVE. 
          IN ADDITION, AT THE LOCAL LEVEL, UH, WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS ALAMO, THEY'RE PRACTICING SOCIAL DISTANCING. 
          UH, JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER EMPLOYER IN THIS, IN THE STATE IS BEING ASKED, THE COUNTRY IS BEING ASKED TO TO PRACTICE. 
          SO THEY'VE BEEN ADDING RESOURCES TO ENABLE STAFF TO WORK REMOTELY, UH, BUT CONTINUES TO WORK WITH CLIENTS ON THE PHONE AND THROUGH THE, THROUGH THE 
          [00:55:01]
WEBSITE, AND HAS SET UP, OR IS SETTING UP APPOINTMENTS FOR INDIVIDUALS TO COME IN, UH, THAT NEED TO COME IN. 
          THEY'VE ALSO, UM, ENGAGED IN A RAPID RESPONSE PROGRAM WORKING WITH THE CITY, AND WITH SA WORKS TO HELP AFFECTED EMPLOYEES TO CONSIDER RETRAINING AND UPSKILLING, UH, AS THEY MANAGE THROUGH THIS CRISIS. 
          THE CITY IS OFFERING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, UH, TO SAN ANTONIO BUSINESSES AND EMPLOYEES, UH, THAT NEED HELP WITH PROCESSING APPLICATIONS OR OBTAINING, UH, THEIR UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BENEFITS. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          I WANNA TALK A LITTLE BIT NOW ABOUT THE RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR SMALL BUSINESSES. 
          UH, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, UH, JEFF INDICATED THERE'S $350 BILLION IN SPECIFIC SMALL BUSINESS LOANS. 
          THERE'S ALSO SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING FROM OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE BILLS. 
          SO ROUGHLY $367 BILLION IN LOAN PROGRAMS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR SMALL BUSINESSES. 
          UH, THE, THE, THEY'VE ALSO, UH, PROVIDED, UH, FEDERALLY GUARANTEED, UH, LOANS THAT ARE BE OFFERED THROUGH COMMUNITY BANKS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES THAT PLEDGE NOT TO LAY OFF THEIR EMPLOYEES. 
          UH, I WANNA MAKE ONE POINT HERE, AS YOU CAN TELL WITH THE, THE, THE MAGNITUDE OF THE IMPACT OF THIS CRISIS. 
          THERE REALLY IS ONLY ONE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT THAT CAN AFFECT ITS SCALE AND MAGNITUDE, UH, THIS CRISIS. 
          AND IT'S THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. 
          AND THE $2 TRILLION STIMULUS PLAN IS GONNA GO A LONG WAY TO HELP WITH THAT. 
          MANY ARE ALREADY SAYING IT MAY NOT BE ENOUGH. 
          THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL AREAS THAT THEY DID NOT ADDRESS, LIKE AID TO CITIES, UH, BECAUSE THAT WAS NOT COVERED SPECIFICALLY ON THAT. 
          UH, BUT IT IS THE MEANS THAT WE CAN GET RESOURCES TO BUSINESSES THAT NEED IT. 
          AND OUR FOCUS AS A CITY IS TO TRY TO ASSIST LOCAL BUSINESSES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT, UM, TO FACILITATE THE WIDESPREAD OPPORTUNITIES THAT THE S B A LOANS, UH, OFFER. 
          THE GOVERNOR DID DECLARE EVERY COUNTY IN TEXAS A DISASTER. 
          SO THAT ALLOWS EVERY SMALL BUSINESS IN TEXAS TO APPLY FOR THESE LOANS. 
          THE, UH, THE, THE TERMS ARE VERY FAVORABLE. 
          THEY'RE UP TO 30 YEARS AT A 3.775% INTEREST RATE AND 2.75% FOR NONPROFITS AS A PART OF OUR OUTREACH TO BUSINESSES AND TO INDIVIDUALS AFFECTED BY THIS. 
          WE HAVE ON OUR WEBSITE, ON THE, ON THE FRONT PAGE ON THIS C OVID 19, UH, SPOTLIGHTED SECTION. 
          UH, UNDER THE TAB SMALL BUSINESS, WE HAVE FACT SHEETS POSTED BOTH IN ENGLISH AND IN SPANISH TO HELP, UH, INDIVIDUALS WHO WANNA AVAIL THEMSELVES TO THE SS B A LOANS. 
          IN ADDITION TO OTHER RESOURCES IN THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE PROVIDING ASSISTANCE TO SMALL BUSINESS, UH, BUSINESS OWNERS CAN CONTACT THE DISASTER ASSISTANCE CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AT THE S B A FOR DIRECT ASSISTANCE, AS WELL AS U T S A SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTER THEY'RE ON. 
          UH, THEY'RE AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO SMALL BUSINESSES TO FILL OUT THESE APPLICATIONS. 
          UH, LYFT FUNDS WOMEN BUSINESS CENTER IS ALSO PROVIDING ASSISTANCE TO WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES, UH, AS THEY APPLY FOR THESE LOANS. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, THE S B A IS LAUNCHING A WEBINAR SERIES IN BOTH IN ENGLISH AND IN SPANISH, BEGINNING TODAY THAT'LL ASSIST, UH, BUSINESSES TO APPLY FOR THESE LOANS THAT'LL BE AVAILABLE BOTH ON SKYPE AND IN THE CALL-IN ABILITY. 
          NEXT, NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          SO, LOTS OF RESOURCES THAT WILL BE COMING DOWN TO HELP SMALL BUSINESSES TO HELP UNEMPLOYED, UH, EMPLOYED FOLKS. 
          UM, SINCE 2015, OUR CITY HAS PARTNERED WITH LIFTFUND TO OFFER 0% INTEREST LOANS TO SMALL MINORITY AND WOMEN OWNED BUSINESSES. 
          THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR, UH, THE CITY COUNCIL APPROPRIATED $250,000 TO BUY DOWN LOANS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES. 
          TO DATE, THE LIFT FUND HAS UTILIZED, UH, APPROXIMATELY $120,000 OF THAT FUNDING TO BUY DOWN THESE LOANS. 
          SO WE ARE PROPOSING TO REDIRECT THE BALANCE APPROXIMATELY $130,000 TO ASSIST SMALL BUSINESSES WHILE THEY'RE APPLYING FOR THE FEDERAL FUNDING, THE S B A LOANS, TO ASSIST THESE SMALL BUSINESSES TO KIND OF BRIDGE THE GAP. 
          UH, WE FEEL THAT THE LIFT FUND CAN DO THAT MOBILIZED VERY QUICKLY, AND WE INTEND TO PUT SOME CAPS ON IT TO MAKE THE LOANS TO BE ABLE TO STRETCH US OUT, MAKE LOANS UP TO $15,000, UH, TO HAVE SOME DEFERRAL OF REPAYMENT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AS THEY, UH, GET BACK ON THEIR FEET AND TO LIMIT IT TO THE HOSPITALITY AND, UH, LEISURE INDUSTRY, PRIMARILY FOCUSING ON RESTAURANTS, WHICH ARE HARD HIT, AND THEY PROVIDE A VITAL SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY IN FEEDING THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO WE WANNA FOCUS 
          [01:00:01]
PRIMARILY ON RESTAURANTS, UH, AND TO ALLOW THIS. 
          WE, WE BELIEVE THAT THE LIFT FUND CAN MOVE QUICKLY AND MOBILIZE QUICKLY, AND THESE LOANS CAN GET OUT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. 
          UH, FOR THESE FOLKS, UM, THERE ARE OTHER RESOURCES IN THE, IN THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST SMALL BUSINESSES. 
          UH, IN ADDITION TO THE EFFORTS BY OUR PARTNERS AT THE COUNTY WHO HAVE ALSO PARTNERED WITH THE LIFT FUND, UH, THE MAESTRO, UH, ENTREPRENEUR CENTER IS HOSTING WEEKLY EDUCATION WEBINARS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES RELATED TO C OVID 19. 
          ALL KINDS OF ISSUES RELATED TO C OVID 19 AND LAUNCH SA IS INCREASING THEIR DIGITAL, DIGITAL CONTENT AND RESOURCES, UH, TO HELP IN PARTICULAR ENTREPRENEURS BY IDENTIFYING MENTORS TO WORK WITH THESE ENTREPRENEURS AND HELP THEM, UH, GET THROUGH THIS, THIS DIFFICULT CRISIS. 
          I'D LIKE TO TOUCH NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          VERY BRIEFLY ON RESIDENT ASSISTANCE, BECAUSE WE HAVE BUSINESSES THAT ARE SMALL BUSINESSES THAT ARE HURTING. 
          WE HAVE EMPLOYEES, BUT WE ALSO HAVE RESIDENTS THAT HAVE SOME CHALLENGES AS THEY TRY TO MATCH THROUGH THIS, UH, THE CITY'S ACCEPTING REQUESTS FOR RENTAL AND UTILITY ASSISTANCE FROM SAN ANTONIO RESIDENTS, THE SAN ANTONIO HOUSING TRUST HAS APPROPRIATED AN ADDITIONAL $1 MILLION TO FUND TO, TO SUPPORT THIS FUND, AND THE CITY IS CURRENTLY EXPLORING OTHER RESOURCES TO BE ABLE TO ADD TO, UH, AND PARTNERSHIP, UH, TO ENTER INTO PARTNERSHIPS TO LEVERAGE THESE FUNDS. 
          BEXAR COUNTY RECENTLY ISSUED A DECLARATION OF PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY STATING THAT JP COURTS WILL NOT HOLD EVICTIONS, UH, EVICTION CASES, UH, YOU KNOW, FROM NOW THROUGH APRIL 16TH. 
          IT ALSO DIRECTED BEXAR COUNTY PROPERTY OWNERS TO TEMPORARILY SUSPEND EVICTIONS, UH, FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 30 DAYS TO HELP TRY TO, UH, PREVENT DISPLACEMENT. 
          AND OF COURSE, YOU'VE HEARD THAT C P S ENERGY AND SAWS ARE SUSPENDING DISCONNECTION. 
          UH, UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL, FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC ARE SUSPENDING FORECLOSURE AND EVICTIONS OF, UH, SINGLE FAMILY MORTGAGES FOR AT LEAST 60 DAYS. 
          AND HUD HAS AUTHORIZED THE F H A TO IMPLEMENT A FORECLOSURE AND EVICTION MORATORIUM FOR HOMEOWNERS WITH F H A INSURED MORTGAGES AGAIN FOR THE NEXT 60 DAYS. 
          THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. 
          GOOD MORNING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          MY NAME IS MARIA VIE GOMEZ, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER, AND MY PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION IS GONNA FOCUS ON A FINANCIAL UPDATE, UH, WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE LOCAL ECONOMY, THE NATIONAL ECONOMY, HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE SPENT AS A CITY ORGANIZATION IN THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO THE C OVID 19. 
          AND FINALLY, WE ARE GONNA PRESENT TODAY VERY PRELIMINARY PROJECTIONS ON THE FINANCIAL IMPACT TO SOME OF OUR ENTERPRISE FUNDS, OUR SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS, AND THE GENERAL FUND AS WELL. 
          SO LET ME BEGIN, UH, WITH A SUMMARY OF, UH, WHAT'S GOING ON, UH, AT THE NATIONAL IN, IN, UH, STATE LEVEL. 
          AS YOU KNOW, THIS PANDEMIC HAS BEEN NOT ONLY A, A GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS, BUT ALSO A GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS. 
          WE HAVE SEEN A VERY RAPID AND DIP DECLINE IN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY AS WE TALK TO, UH, PROFESSIONALS IN, IN THIS INDUSTRY, AND THE WORK THAT WE ARE PRESENTING TO YOU. 
          TODAY, WE PARTNER WITH DR. 
          NIVAN, WHO IS AN ECONOMIC PROFESSOR WITH ST. 
          MARY'S UNIVERSITY AND IS ALSO HERE AT THE CHAMBERS TODAY. 
          SHOULD YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONS INFORMATION OR QUESTIONS AS IT RELATES TO THE ECONOMY, UM, WHAT THEY, UM, HAVE INDICATED, UH OH. 
          DR. 
          NEVIN HAS INDICATED THAT AS WE, UM, BEGIN AND COMPLETE FIRST THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE, THAT IT, AT THIS TIME, WE ARE ANTICIPATING THAT THAT COULD TAKE MAYBE ABOUT 90 DAYS FROM MARCH ALL THE WAY, PROBABLY THROUGH JUNE. 
          UH, AND WE BEGIN THE RECOVERY. 
          AS WE BEGIN, BEGIN TO RECOVER, WE WILL SEE, UH, VERY LIKELY TO SEE A DECREASE IN SPENDING FROM NORMAL LEVELS. 
          AS YOU HEARD FROM CARLOS AND JEFF, UH, MANY WORKERS HAVE LOST THEIR JOBS, AND SOME OF THEM MAY NOT HAVE JOBS TO COME BACK TO. 
          ONCE WE BEGIN THAT RECOVERY, PHASE, THERE IS AN EXTRA ORDINARY AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE ECONOMY, IS SPECIFICALLY AFTER THE THIRD QUARTER OF THIS CALENDAR YEAR, 2020, WHICH IS JULY TO SEPTEMBER. 
          SO WHAT WE ARE GONNA PRESENT, UH, TO YOU TODAY, IT NOT ONLY HAS AN IMPACT ON THE CITY'S CURRENT FISCAL YEAR 2020, THAT WILL END IN SEPTEMBER, BUT IT WOULD ALSO HAVE A DRAMATIC IMPACT AS WE BEGIN OUR FISCAL YEAR 2021 BUDGET. 
          UH, WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING, THE ECONOMISTS ARE SAYING IS THAT THIS EVENT IS ANTICIPATED TO BE WORSE THAN THE, UM, ECONOMIC RECESSION, THE GREAT RECESSION THAT HAPPENED BETWEEN 2007 AND 2009. 
          AND 
          [01:05:01]
AS YOU KNOW, THIS ECONOMIC EVENT WAS WORSE THAN THE GREAT, UH, DEPRESSION THAT HAPPENED IN THE 1930S. 
          SO, JUST TO PUT SOME CONTEXT ON THE NEXT SLIDE, IN TERMS OF UNEMPLOYMENT DURING THE GREAT RECESSION, AGAIN, FROM 2007 TO 2009, UNEMPLOYMENT, UH, PICKED AT DIFFERENT RATES AND AT DIFFERENT TIMES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. 
          UH, AT THE US LEVEL, UH, WE PICKED AT 7.6% IN APRIL OF 2010, AND TEXAS 8.3 IN AUGUST OF 2009. 
          AND HERE IN SAN ANTONIO, WE PICKED A 10% IN OCTOBER OF 2009. 
          WHAT IS BEING PROJECTED AT THIS POINT, BASED ON WHAT WE HAVE SEEN, WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE STATE OF TEXAS, AS WELL AS, UH, WORKING WITH DR. 
          NEVIN, IS THAT THE PROJECTION IN SAN ANTONIO FOR MARCH, 2020 WILL BE ROUGHLY A 12 TO 14% UNEMPLOYMENT RATE. 
          THE LATEST NUMBERS THAT WE HAVE IN JANUARY, WE WERE ABOUT 3.2% OR SO. 
          SO THIS IS A BIG, UM, INCREASE ON THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE HERE IN SAN ANTONIO. 
          SO ON THE NEXT SLIDE, NOW THAT WE LEAVE SOME OF THIS, UH, ECONOMIC INDICATORS, NOW WE ARE GONNA FOCUS INTO WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE IN SAN ANTONIO. 
          SO, I WILL BEGIN WITH HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE SPENT IN TERMS OF THE, UH, EMERGENCY RESPONSE. 
          AS YOU HEARD FROM, UH, CHIEF HOOD AND, UH, DR. 
          EMRICH, WE STARTED OUR RESPONSE IN LATE FEBRUARY. 
          SO WHAT WE HAVE SPENT AND AUTHORIZED TO SPEND IS $2.8 MILLION THROUGH MARCH 21, ROUGHLY ABOUT $1.2 MILLION IS IN PERSONNEL COSTS, AND AS WE ARE RAMPING UP AND, UH, PROVIDING MORE PERSONNEL SUPPORT TO THIS EMERGENCY RESPONSE. 
          TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, IN THE LAST SEVEN CALENDAR DAYS, WE SPENT ROUGHLY ABOUT HALF A MILLION DOLLARS BETWEEN, UM, OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT, THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, AND THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE SUPPORTING THE EMERGENCY. 
          $1.6 MILLION HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED FOR SUPPLIES AND MEDICAL STAFF AS WELL. 
          THE CITY HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF ABOUT $2.1 MILLION IN GRANTS FOR THIS RECOVERY EFFORT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE HEALTH, UH, AND, AND SERVICES, UH, GRANT, NOT ALL OF THE EXPENSES WILL BE ELIGIBLE, UH, TO BE, UH, REIMBURSED. 
          MOST OF THE GRANT FOCUSES ON, UH, EXPENSES RELATED TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, BUT THE LATEST, UH, UM, $1 MILLION THAT WE GOT, OR THE 2.1 HAS A, A BROADER, UH, SCOPE. 
          SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO RECOVER SOME OF THE EXPENSES. 
          NOW, WITH THE RATE THAT WE'RE SPENDING, WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE $2.8 MILLION IS GONNA GROW FAIRLY QUICKLY DEPENDING ON OUR RESPONSE AND IN THE, UM, WHAT WE ARE PROVIDING TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO OUR GOAL IS TO BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR FEDERAL REIMBURSEMENT. 
          HOWEVER, WHEN THERE IS A FEDERAL ER EMERGENCY, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE WITH 25% OF THE COST. 
          SO EVEN IF ALL OF OUR EXPENSES WERE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT, THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO WILL VERY LIKELY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR 25% OF THE COST. 
          SO IN THE NEXT SLIDE, UH, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A VERY DEEP ANALYSIS OF THE REVENUES ARE ARE BEING IMPACTED BY C OVID 19. 
          UM, SPECIFICALLY TODAY I'M GONNA FOCUS ON THE AIRPORT, WHICH IS ONE OF OUR ENTERPRISE FUNDS, OUR HOTEL O ANCY TAX, UH, THE CONVENTION CENTER AND THE ALAMO DO, AND THE GENERAL FUND. 
          AND AGAIN, TO PUT SOME CONTEXT, UH, SOME OF THESE REVENUES BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY. 
          UH, THESE REVENUES ARE ANTICIPATED TO RECOVER, UH, DIFFERENTLY. 
          UM, SO I WILL GO THROUGH EVERY SINGLE ONE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME CONTEXT. 
          SO, ON THE AIRPORT, AS WE STUDY WITH OUR, UM, AIRPORT DIRECTOR, THEIR CONSULTANTS, THEY HAVE IN STEVE NEVIN AIRPORT, REVENUES TEND TO RECOVER QUICKER THAN OTHER REVENUES THAT ARE IMPACTED BY AN ECONOMIC, UM, UH, EVENT. 
          SO, FOR INSTANCE, WE STUDY WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE GREAT RECESSION. 
          WE STUDY WHAT HAPPENED DURING 9 1 1, AND THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY ABOUT A THREE YEAR WINDOW WHEN REVENUE STARTED TO GET BACK TO THE LEVELS THAT THEY WERE BEFORE THAT ECONOMIC EVENT. 
          SO WHAT WE ARE PROJECTING ON THE LOW END, WE'RE PROVIDING A RANGE TO THE COUNCIL OF AN IMPACT OF 12 TO $22 MILLION. 
          TO GIVE YOU ADDITIONAL CONTEXT, IN THE AIRPORT FUND, WE COLLECT ABOUT $105 MILLION IN OPERATING REVENUES. 
          SO WE ARE ANTICIPATING, AGAIN, 12 TO $22 MILLION, WHICH IS ROUGHLY 11 TO 21% DECREASE JUST IN FISCAL YEAR 2020. 
          SO WHAT WE, UM, ARE PROJECTING AT THIS POINT IS THAT WE'LL BEGIN TO SEE SLOW RECOVERY PROBABLY IN JUNE, JULY, AS PROBABLY BUSINESS TRAVEL BEGINS TO PICK UP, AND WE'LL SEE THOSE EMPLOYMENTS GOING UP 
          [01:10:02]
IN THE, IN THE AIRPORT, WE SEE ABOUT 10 MILLION EMPLOYMENTS A YEAR. 
          THAT'S ROUGHLY ABOUT 30,000 A DAY. 
          UH, THE LAST WEEK WHEN WE REPORTED TO YOU, OUR EMPLOYMENTS WERE DOWN 70%, UH, TWO DAYS AGO, WE WERE AT 90% BELOW COMPARED TO, UH, WHERE WE WERE IN 2019. 
          SO OUR PROJECTIONS, UH, FOR $12 MILLION AS BEING OUR, OUR BEST CASE SCENARIO, OUR WORST CASE SCENARIO BEING $22 MILLION. 
          THAT IMPLIES THAT WE'LL STILL, UH, BEGIN TO SEE A RECOVERY PROBABLY IN JUNE, BUT AT A SLOWER PACE THAN THE BEST CASE SCENARIO. 
          AND AGAIN, THIS DISRUPTIONS AT THIS POINT, SINCE WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF DATA POINTS, UH, FOR THE FIRST, UH, THREE WEEKS OF, OF MARCH, HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX, UH, WE COLLECT ROUGHLY ABOUT $92 MILLION ANNUALLY IN THIS REVENUE SOURCE. 
          UH, AS YOU KNOW, IT HAS BEEN HEAVILY IMPACTED AS SOME HOTELS HAVE OCCUPANCY RATES BELOW 10%, AND, AND MANY HOTELS HAVE ASEE OPERATIONS. 
          UH, MANY OF THE ATTRACTIONS, UH, ACROSS THE CITY AND ACROSS THE NATION HAVE ALSO THE NATION HAVE ALSO CLOSED. 
          SO, WHAT WE EXPERIENCED IN, UH, PRIOR ECONOMIC EVENTS WAS A DECREASE OF ABOUT 15% IN THE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX DURING THE GREAT RECESSION. 
          AND AGAIN, THIS HAPPENED AROUND 2007, 2009. 
          SO BASED ON THE PROJECTIONS THAT WE HAVE TODAY, WITH A RECOVERY BEGINNING AROUND JULY FOR THIS PARTICULAR REVENUE SOURCE, WE'RE ANTICIPATING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 29 TO $44 MILLION DECREASE IN THE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX. 
          AS YOU KNOW, THE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX SUPPORTS A VERY IMPORTANT, UM, OPERATIONS OF THE CITY. 
          THAT INCLUDES OUR CONVENTION CENTER, OUR ALAMO, DOM, THOSE TWO FACILITIES. 
          IT ALSO SUPPORTS, UH, VISIT SAN ANTONIO HISTORY AND PRE PRESERVATION, AND ALSO THE, THE ARTS. 
          MOVING ON TO OUR CONVENTION CENTER IN ALAMO DOM, UH, WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IS, UH, A LARGE NUMBER OF CANCELLATIONS AND EVENTS THAT HAVE BEEN POSTPONED. 
          SO WHAT WE DID FOR OUR ANALYSIS FOR THE BEST CASE SCENARIO, AND THE WORST CASE SCENARIO, IS THAT WE STILL HAVE SOME EVENTS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN CANCELED BY THOSE, UH, ENTITIES THAT PLAN TO HAVE THOSE EVENTS BEGINNING IN JUNE. 
          SO THERE'S STILL SOME EVENTS ON OUR BOOKS, BUT THEY'RE WATCHING THEM VERY CLOSELY. 
          SO IF WE ASSUME THAT THOSE EVENTS WOULD HAPPEN, UM, WE DON'T HAVE ANY EVENTS BETWEEN MARCH AND MAY AND JUNE AND, AND ONE OF THE FACILITIES. 
          BUT IF THOSE EVENTS DO NOT CANCEL, AND THEN WE PICK UP A FEW MORE EVENTS, UH, THE LAST THREE MONTHS OF THE FISCAL YEAR, WE MAY SEE A DECREASE IN REVENUE OF $12.4 MILLION. 
          IF THERE ARE NO EVENTS, UH, FOR THE BALANCE OF THE YEAR, THEN OUR EXPOSURE COULD BE $17 MILLION IN TOTAL FOR THOSE TWO FACILITIES. 
          AND FINALLY, IN THE GENERAL FUND, UM, THE REVENUES THAT WE STUDY INCLUDED OUR SALES TAX, UH, OUR RIVER BARGE, UH, REVENUES, OUR INTEREST INCOME, UH, AND ALSO OUR, UH, REVENUES FOR, UH, MUNICIPAL CORE FINES AND OUR E M S TRANSPORTS. 
          SO A COMBINATION BASED ON THE VERY LITTLE DATA THAT WE HAVE TODAY, WE'RE ANTICIPATING AN IMPACT TO THE GENERAL FUND BETWEEN 57 TO $75 MILLION. 
          THE MAJORITY OF THAT, UH, NUMBER HAS TO DO WITH SALES TAX AS WE ARE ANTICIPATING POTENTIALLY A DECREASE OF 17% IN THAT REVENUE SOURCE. 
          SO OVERALL, AS WE, WE HAVEN'T STUDIED ALL THE, THE, THE FUNDS, THERE ARE OTHER FUNDS THAT WILL BE IMPACTED, LIKE THE ADVANCED TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT, FOR EXAMPLE. 
          UM, ONCE WE HAVE ALL THAT INFORMATION, WE'LL CONTINUE TO UPDATE THE COUNCIL, BUT TODAY IS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 110 TO $158 MILLION IN FISCAL YEAR 2020. 
          AND AGAIN, THIS, UH, WILL ALSO IMPACT OUR FISCAL YEAR 2021 BUDGET. 
          SO IN THE NEXT SLIDE, UH, ONCE AGAIN, JUST TO SUMMARIZE, TODAY'S PRESENTATION IS PRELIMINARY. 
          UH, WE WILL BE PROVIDING FUTURE UPDATES TO THE COUNCIL, AND WE'RE ALSO EVALUATING, UH, SPENDING REDUCTION ALTERNATIVES FOR IMMEDIATE IMPLEMENTATION. 
          THE CITY MANAGER HAS, UH, DIRECTED ALL OF OUR CITY DEPARTMENTS TO LOOK AT THE, UH, PROGRAMS, THEIR OPERATIONS AND PRIORITIZE THEM, UM, IN, IN, IN THE FOLLOWING FASHION. 
          THOSE, UH, SERVICES THAT ARE BEING DIRECTLY, UM, UH, TO ADDRESS THE RESPONSE OF C OVID 19, UH, TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS DURING THIS TIME AND ALSO FOR RECOVERY, AND ALL THOSE OTHER PROGRAMS AND FUNCTIONS THAT DO NOT MEET THOSE, UH, THREE CATEGORIES. 
          THOSE 
          [01:15:01]
ARE THE AREAS THAT WE ARE GONNA BE EVALUATING FOR POTENTIAL, UH, REDUCTION IN SPENDING OR SUSPENSION OF THOSE PROGRAMS OR SERVICES. 
          UM, SO WITH THAT, I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO ANDY SEGOVIA TO TALK ABOUT THE EMERGENCY DECLARATION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GOOD MORNING, UH, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          I'M GONNA GO OVER, UH, UH, IN AN OVERVIEW. 
          THE, UH, NEW EMERGENCY ORDER THAT WAS ISSUED ON MONDAY, MARCH 23RD. 
          UM, IT BECAME CLEAR WITH THE EVENTS HAPPENING OVER THE WEEKEND, UH, THAT WE HAD TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL MEASURES, UH, TO TRY TO MITIGATE THE RISK OF ADDITIONAL EXPOSURE, UH, IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, THE LEADERS OF SEVERAL TEXAS CITIES, UM, THE MAYOR AND ERIC DID A GREAT JOB IN TERMS OF COORDINATING WITH SOME OF THESE MAJOR TEXAS CITIES, RECOGNIZING WE HAD TO TAKE ADDITIONAL MEASURES. 
          UH, THESE TEXAS CITIES ALSO TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO ALIGN THEMSELVES IN TERMS OF THE OVERALL APPROACH TO THE EMERGENCY ORDERS, UH, EMERGENCY DECLARATIONS, AND THE MEASURES THEY WERE TAKING. 
          UM, SO IN A MATTER OF, UH, 48 HOURS, WE WERE ABLE TO, UH, COORDINATE WITH THESE CITIES AND ISSUE, UH, EMERGENCY DECLARATIONS THAT WERE VERY SIMILAR. 
          I DO WANNA SAY THAT, UH, THE CITY AND THE COUNTY WORKED, UH, EXTRA HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, THE COUNTY JUDGES AND, UH, THE COUNTY JUDGES, UH, ORDER AND THE MAYOR'S DECLARATION WERE NOT ONLY VERY SIMILAR, BUT THEY WERE ALMOST LIKE PERFECTLY ALIGNED. 
          UM, AND SO WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE EFFORT OF THE COUNTY STAFF, UH, WORKING WITH US TO MAKE SURE THAT FOR OUR COMMUNITY STANDPOINT, WE WERE ALL SPEAKING FROM THE SAME HYMN BOOK OR SINGING FROM THE SAME HYING BOOK. 
          UM, WHAT THE COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER TODAY WILL BE WHETHER THAT NEW EMERGENCY DECLARATION WILL BE EXTENDED THROUGH APRIL 9TH, 2020, WHAT THE, UH, EMERGENCY DECLARATION AND THE MEASURES, UH, UH, ASSOCIATED WITH IT DO. 
          IT SENDS A VERY STRONG MESSAGE TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          I'M SORRY, NEXT, UH, I'M SORRY. 
          YES, NO, I'M STAY THE, KEEP THE SAME SLIDE. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          UH, IT IS, IT, IT SENDS A STRONG MESSAGE TO THE COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE ASKING THEM TO STAY HOME UNLESS THEY'RE GOING TO ENGAGE IN EXEMPTED ACTIVITY OR EXEMPTED BUSINESSES. 
          UH, AND, UH, I'M NOT GONNA GO OVER ALL THE CATEGORIES, BUT PRIMARILY TO MAINTAIN THEIR HEALTH AND SAFETY FOR THEMSELVES, THEIR FAMILY, THEIR PETS, BASICALLY THEIR HOUSEHOLD. 
          UH, AND ALSO TO ACQUIRE OR BUY, PURCHASE THE NECESSARY PROVISIONS LIKE FOOD, MEDICINE, UH, HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS THAT THEY NEED TO KEEP THEIR HOME OPERATIONAL. 
          UH, WE FULLY RECOGNIZE THAT IF WE'RE ASKING PEOPLE TO STAY HOME, UH, THEIR HOME HAS TO BE OPERATIONAL IN TERMS OF, UH, THE, YOU KNOW, THE DISHWASHER WORKING, UH, FOOD ON THE TABLE, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          UM, SO, UH, THOSE THINGS WERE CLEARLY EXEMPTED. 
          AGAIN, WE'RE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO GO OUTDOORS, UH, TO EXERCISE, TO WALK, TO RUN, UH, BUT THAT, AS YOU DO THAT WHEN WITH ANY OTHER EXEMPTED, UH, ACTIVITY OR BUSINESS THAT YOU DO, SO MAINTAINING A SIX FOOT SOCIAL DISTANCE, UH, I'LL USE THE EXAMPLE THAT WAS USED BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY, UH, UH, THE OTHER DAY, WHICH IS, UH, WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO DO IS NOT ENGAGE IN A VIGOROUS THREE ON THREE BASKETBALL GAME, FIVE ON FIVE. 
          'CAUSE OBVIOUSLY THAT'LL ENTAIL A LOT OF, UH, ACTUAL CONTACT, UH, BUT, UH, DO YOUR ATHLETIC ACTIVITY IN A WAY THAT THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THAT. 
          UM, NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          SO, UH, IN TERMS OF WHAT THE REGULATIONS ARE, IS AGAIN, UH, UH, WHAT YOU'RE ALLOWED TO DO FROM A BUSINESS STANDPOINT. 
          IF YOU CAN WORK AT HOME, IF YOU CAN CONDUCT YOUR BUSINESS AT HOME, UH, PLEASE DO SO, AND THAT, THAT CLEARLY IS ALLOWED. 
          UM, AS ERIC SAID, THE CITY'S DONE ALREADY A TREMENDOUS EFFORT IN TERMS OF FACILITATING OUR EMPLOYEES WORKING AT HOME. 
          AND WE ENCOURAGE ALL BUSINESSES TO, UH, FOLLOW THAT MODEL AND PROVIDE THE TOOLS TO THEIR EMPLOYEES THAT CAN WORK FROM HOME, UH, SO THAT THEY COULD WORK FROM HOME. 
          AGAIN, YOU MAY CONDUCT AN EXEMPTED BUSINESS OR ACTIVITY, UM, AND YOU CAN CONDUCT AN ACTIVITY THAT'S IN SUPPORT OF AN EXEMPTED BUSINESS REACTIVITY. 
          UH, AND A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT IS ONE OF THE EXEMPTED BUSINESSES, OBVIOUSLY, IS OUR HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY. 
          UH, SO IF YOU ARE ENGAGED IN A BUSINESS OR ACTIVITY THAT SUPPORTS THAT, WHICH IS A VERY CRITICAL PART OF TRYING TO ADDRESS C OVID 19, OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN CONTINUE IN THAT BUSINESS REACTIVITY AND SUPPORT OF THE HEALTH INDUSTRY. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          AGAIN, THE STAY HOME WORK SAFE ORDER THAT WAS ISSUED ON, UH, MONDAY, WHICH TOOK INTO EFFECT ON, UH, MIDNIGHT TUESDAY, UH, GENERALLY FOR, UH, FOLLOWS THE FORM AND SUBSTANCE OF OTHER ORDERS, UH, PARTICULARLY OTHER TEXAS CITIES. 
          BUT, UH, WE ALSO LOOKED AT, 
          [01:20:01]
UH, THE ORDERS THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY OTHER STATES LIKE CALIFORNIA, NEW YORK, ILLINOIS, UH, THAT THEY'RE CALLING STAY AT HOME ORDERS. 
          UH, AND, UH, BUT WE DID SPECIFICALLY LOOK AT THE TEXAS CITIES, AUSTIN, DALLAS, HOUSTON, FORT WORTH, AND EL PASO. 
          UH, AND AGAIN, I APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS OF, UH, THOSE CITIES TO WORK TOGETHER, UH, SO THAT THE MESSAGES WE'RE DELIVERING TO OUR COMMUNITIES ARE VERY SIMILAR. 
          UH, I DO WANT TO THANK MY STAFF FOR ALL THE WORK THAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING TO TRY TO KEEP UP WITH THESE ORDERS. 
          UH, WE'VE GOTTEN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF HELP FROM THE MAYOR'S STAFF AS WELL. 
          UH, AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT, THESE ORDERS ARE NOT ONLY CHANGING DAILY, THEY CAN, THEY CAN CHANGE HOURLY. 
          UM, SO WE'RE CONTINUING WITH THAT EFFORT, UH, TRYING TO MONITOR WHAT OTHER, AGAIN, CITIES, WHAT OTHER STATES ARE DOING, UH, SO THAT WE STAY UP TO SPEED IN TERMS OF WHAT MEASURES ARE BEING USED. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          OBVIOUSLY, WITH A, UH, ORDER OF THIS MAGNITUDE, WE ARE GETTING A LOT OF QUESTIONS IN TERMS OF WHAT CONSTITUTES AN EXEMPT BUSINESS, WHAT CONSTITUTES AN EXEMPT ACTIVITY. 
          WHAT WE'RE ASKING EVERYBODY TO DO IS TO READ THE EMERGENCY DECLARATION AND THE MEASURES, UH, IN A SPIRIT FOR WHICH IT WAS INTENDED. 
          WE'RE TRYING TO LIMIT THE SPREAD OF C OVID 19 BY LIMITING SOCIAL INTERACTION AND REQUIRING SOCIAL DISTANCING. 
          AT THE SAME TIME. 
          WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP UP CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO MAINTAIN THEIR HOMES AND, AND FOR, UH, US TO CONTINUE TO BATTLE. 
          UH, C OVID 19. 
          UH, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS. 
          UH, THE OTHER NIGHT WE HAD A VIRTUAL TOWN HALL. 
          UH, LIZ PROVENCIO WAS OUR REPRESENTATIVE THERE. 
          UH, WE HAD LARRY ROBERSON FROM THE, THE COUNTY, UH, AND ALSO JOE GONZALEZ, THE DA, UH, JEFF MODERATED THAT I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO LOOK AT THAT VIDEO. 
          IT COVERED A LOT, A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT CAME OUT ONCE THE EMERGENCY DECLARATION WAS ISSUED. 
          UM, AND IT'S AVAILABLE BOTH ON OUR WEBSITE AND A LOT ON A LOT OF LOCAL MEDIA. 
          WE'RE TRYING TO FUNNEL ALL THE QUESTIONS TO 3 1 1, UH, AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, WE HAVE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS UPDATED SO THAT THE COMMUNITY CAN GET REAL TIME, UH, INFORMATION ON SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE COMING IN, UH, ON THE, UH, NEW EMERGENCY DECLARATION. 
          AND WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH G P A ON OTHER WAYS TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY, UH, ON WHAT THE DECLARATION REQUIRES AND, AND WHAT ACTIVITIES ALLOWED AND WHAT'S NOT ALLOWED. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          UM, THE REASON WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY'S FULLY AWARE OF WHAT THE EMERGENCY ORDER SAYS, AND WHAT IT REQUIRES IS THAT THE KEY TO THIS WORKING, UH, IS THAT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, THE, UH, RESIDENTS, THE BUSINESSES, UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BEING ASKED OF THEM AND THAT THEY COMPLY VOLUNTARILY. 
          UM, ONE OF THE KEY QUESTIONS THAT WE GOT, FOR EXAMPLE, WAS WHETHER WE WERE GONNA HAVE, UH, THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT OR S A P D STOP PEOPLE, UH, AS THEY WERE MOVING OUT AND ABOUT, UH, OR THEY WERE GONNA STOP 'EM IF THEY WERE OUT ON OUR ROADWAYS. 
          UH, THE ANSWER TO THAT IS NO. 
          WE ARE, AGAIN, RELYING ON THE COMMUNITY AND BUSINESSES TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BEING REQUIRED AND TO COMPLY. 
          UH, WE DO HAVE ENFORCEMENT THOUGH, OF WHAT, UH, IS REQUIRED UNDER THE DECLARATION, AND WE'RE DOING THAT THROUGH SS A P D AND SOME REDEPLOYED CITY PERSONNEL. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, SOME OF OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, AND I HAVE SOME VERY GOOD NEWS TO REPORT THAT WE'VE HAD ABOUT ABOUT 200 CALLS, ABOUT A LITTLE OVER 150 VIOLATIONS, BUT WE HAVE NOT ISSUED A CITATION. 
          THAT'S VERY GOOD NEWS. 
          OUR EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN THAT EVERY TIME WE VISIT A BUSINESS, THERE'S, UH, VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE. 
          UH, SO I APPLAUD THE COMMUNITY. 
          I APPLAUD THE, UH, BUSINESSES THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH, THAT THEY ARE REALLY TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. 
          AND SO FAR, WE HAVEN'T HAD TO TAKE, UH, ANY REAL MEASURES TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE, UH, ARE FOLLOWING THE EMERGENCY DECLARATION. 
          THAT BEING SAID, WE DO HAVE, UH, ENFORCEMENT TOOLS, UH, UNDER THE CITY'S, UH, DECLARATION. 
          UH, VIOLATION COULD BE A CLASS C MISDEMEANOR WITH FINES UP TO 2000. 
          UH, THE COUNTY AND THEIR ORDER, UH, ALSO HAS A PENALTY OF UP TO SIX MONTHS IN PRISON, UH, FOR THOSE THAT, UH, ARE VIOLATING THE DECLARATION. 
          BUT AS WAS SAID, IN THE, UH, TOWN HALL, WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO FIND ANYBODY. 
          WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO ARREST ANYBODY. 
          UH, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO IS TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY AND, UH, ENCOURAGE, HIGHLY ENCOURAGE VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE. 
          UH, WITH THAT, MAYOR, I'LL, I'LL TURN IT BACK TO ERIC. 
          THANK YOU, 
          [01:25:01]
ANDY. 
          UH, THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION ON THE ITEM TODAY IS THAT, UH, THE EXTENSION BE APPROVED THROUGH THAT, UH, APRIL 9TH TIMELINE. 
          UM, I DID WANT TO MAKE SOME CONCLUDING REMARKS, UM, ON A COUPLE OF ISSUES. 
          AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE A, UH, A LARGE NUMBER OF DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE INVOLVED. 
          AND, AND WHILE NOT EVERYBODY CAN BE HERE TODAY, I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT, UH, HUMAN SERVICES, PARKS AND RECREATION, UH, PRE-K FOR SA, THE LIBRARY BUILDING EQUIPMENT SERVICES ARE FINANCE AND BUDGET PEOPLE. 
          INNOVATION AND, AND HUMAN RESOURCES HAVE BEEN DOING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK. 
          UM, AS WE DEAL WITH THE, WITH THE ISSUE. 
          AS MARIA MENTIONED, UH, MY DIRECTION TO THE DEPARTMENTS ON FRIDAY WAS TO BEGIN TO CATEGORIZE THAT SPENDING TO THREE CATEGORIES, RESPONSE, RECOVERY, AND BASIC OPERATIONS. 
          AND WE'LL BE WORKING ON THAT, UH, BEGINNING THIS AFTERNOON TO BE ABLE TO, UH, ADDRESS THAT PROJECTION, THAT PRELIMINARY PROJECTION THAT MARIA SHOWED. 
          UH, YOU, WE WILL CONTINUE TO UPDATE THAT AND WORK WITH DR. 
          NIVAN, UM, AND, AND, AND MONITOR, UM, HOW THAT IMPACT, UH, IS. 
          I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, UH, THAT, THAT IF YOU, IF YOU NOTICE ON THAT CHART, AND MARIA SAID IT AT HER AT THE END, THAT IS THE FINANCIAL IMPACT, THE PROJECTED FINANCIAL IMPACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020. 
          THAT'S THIS FISCAL YEAR THAT DID NOT INCLUDE 21. 
          UM, ONE OF THE UNKNOWNS, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH WITH DR. 
          NIVAN AND OTHERS IS, UH, WHAT IS THE RECOVERY PERIOD? AND, UH, THAT'LL BE A CONTINUED, UH, WORK EFFORT FOR US. 
          IT DAWNED ON ME ALSO, AND I THINK HE MAY HAVE STEPPED OUT OF THE ROOM. 
          UH, THE CHIEF CHIEF HOOD TALKED ABOUT ERIC EPLEY AND STRAC, AND, AND MANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN THOSE ITEMS BEFORE YOU, UH, STRAC STANDS FOR THE SOUTH TEXAS REGIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL. 
          THEY ARE A COORDINATING AGENCY. 
          UH, THE, THE GOVERNOR, UM, THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE DECADES AGO, UH, SET UP REGIONAL ADVISORY COUNCILS THROUGHOUT THE STATE, UM, THAT COORDINATE HOSPITALS. 
          AND, UM, STRAC IS, UH, THE COORDINATING COUNCIL FOR, UH, 22 COUNTY AREA AND EVERY HOSPITAL IN THAT 22 COUNTY AREA. 
          UM, THEY ARE KEY TO THE MANAGING, UH, MANAGEMENT OF THIS CRISIS. 
          THEY, UH, ARE WONDERFUL PARTNERS, AND, UH, WE ARE INTERLACED WITH THEM. 
          UM, I CAN TELL YOU THAT, UM, BASED ON CONVERSATIONS I'VE HAD IN OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE, UM, STRAC IS THE BEST ORGANIZED AND BEST CAPABLE TO ASSIST. 
          AND THE REASON WHY MR. EPLEY IS A PART OF OUR INCIDENT COMMAND STRUCTURE, HOSPITALS OBVIOUSLY ARE KEY IN THIS SITUATION. 
          UM, SO WITH THAT MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON MANY OF THESE ISSUES. 
          UM, AND, AND I DID WANT TO, TO LEAVE YOU WITH, UM, UM, ONE THING THAT I DON'T THINK JEFF MENTIONED, UH, BUT WE ARE BE, WE WILL BE DOING DOOR HANGERS IN, UH, PARTS OF TOWN. 
          UH, AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE WORK EFFORTS THAT CAME OUT OF THE, A SMALL GROUP LED BY COUNCILWOMAN SANDOVAL IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT INFORMATION IS GETTING OUT TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, AND THAT, THAT IS, UM, UNDERWAY HERE, UH, SHORTLY. 
          UM, AND WE ARE STILL, UH, TRYING TO WORK WITH OUR OTHER PARTNERS OUTSIDE OF THIS EMERGENCY THAT BECOME COMMUNITY ISSUES SUCH AS FOOD AND SHELTER, WHICH ARE EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT AS WE GO THROUGH THESE, UM, THROUGH THESE TIMES. 
          SO WITH THAT, UH, THE STAFF IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ERIC. 
          AND, AND THANK YOU, UH, TO OUR ENTIRE CITY TEAM FOR THE REALLY INCREDIBLE WORK, UH, THAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING O OVER THE LAST, UH, FEW MONTHS ON THIS ISSUE. 
          UH, I DO ALSO WANT TO SAY, UH, A GREAT THANK YOU TO MY COLLEAGUES AROUND THE DIOCESE FOR ACCEPTING THE LATE NIGHT PHONE CALLS REMAINING COORDINATED FOR THE, THE GREAT COMMUNICATION AS WE TRY TO LEAVE, UH, MOVE OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH THIS AND OF COURSE TO OUR COMMUNITY, UH, THAT IS ALSO BEARING THROUGH, UH, A PRETTY UNPRECEDENTED TIME. 
          UH, THIS IS ALL ABOUT COLLECTIVE WORK THAT WE'RE COMMITTED TO DOING TOGETHER. 
          UH, THIS WAS A VERY SOBERING ANALYSIS. 
          UM, AND THE REALITY IS STARK, BUT IT'S ONE THAT IS GRIPPING EVERY CORNER OF THIS COUNTRY, NOT JUST OURS. 
          AND SO, LET ME MAKE THIS VERY CLEAR. 
          UM, WE ALL WANT TO GET TO RECOVERY. 
          WE ALL WANT TO SEE THE SUNRISE RISE AGAIN. 
          OUR RECOVERY TIMELINE IS AN ENTIRELY DEPENDENT ON OUR COLLECTIVE ACTION, EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY TO SLOW THE SPREAD OF THIS DISEASE. 
          AND I CAN'T MAKE IT ANY MORE CLEAR THAT IN ORDER TO DO THAT, YOU MUST STAY HOME. 
          [01:30:01]
THIS ENTIRE EFFORT IS ABOUT LIMITING THE EXPOSURE AND REDUCING THE SPREAD OF THIS DISEASE. 
          WE KNOW THAT THERE IS A HEALTH CRISIS, AND WE KNOW THERE IS A LOOMING ECONOMIC CRISIS. 
          IF WE WANT TO GET TO THE REPARATIONS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO DEAL WITH BOTH, WE HAVE TO BEGIN WORKING TOGETHER TO SAVE THE LIVES OF OUR NEIGHBORS. 
          AND SO, I WANT TO THANK THE FOLKS IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT VERY, VERY WELL. 
          UH, THIS IS A NEW NORMAL, AND WE HOPE IT'S NOT HERE FOR A LONG TIME. 
          UH, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY MEMBERS OF THIS COMMUNITY WHO HAVE STEPPED UP IN, IN, IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS AS WE'RE USED TO SEEING IN SAN ANTONIO. 
          I WANT TO THANK YOU, UH, ON BEHALF OF OUR COMMUNITY WHO CANNOT, UM, MAKE IT HERE AND, AND VOICE THEIR OWN GRATITUDE, BECAUSE THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTRY WHO ARE NOW WAITING FOR THAT HELP. 
          AND WE'RE SEEING IT IN ABUNDANCE HERE IN SAN ANTONIO. 
          BUT THE SINGLE BEST THING WE CAN DO AS NEIGHBORS TO GET US THROUGH THIS CRISIS IS TO STAY HOME. 
          AND SO, UH, AS WE GET INTO THE PRESENTATION, UH, I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS. 
          UH, I DO WANNA REEMPHASIZE THAT THERE HAS BEEN GREAT WORK, COLLABORATIVE WORK, UH, IN THE URBAN AREAS OF THIS STATE. 
          UH, THE COUNTY JUDGES, THE MAYORS, THE CITY COUNCILS, THE COUNTY COURTS TO STAY COORDINATED, UH, SO THAT THE ORDERS THAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE PLAY OUT IN SAN ANTONIO ARE NOT, UH, AT ALL DIFFERENT THAN YOU WOULD SEE IN THE MAJOR POPULATION CENTERS OF OUR STATE. 
          UH, IT IS OUR HOPE THAT FOLKS THAT LIVE OUTSIDE OF THOSE MAJOR POPULATION CENTERS WILL ALSO HEEDED THE WARNINGS, UH, THAT OUR HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND OUR HEALTH AUTHORITIES HAVE GIVEN US ABOUT LIMITED EXPOSURE. 
          UH, BUT WE CERTAINLY HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE TAKING CARE OF OURSELVES HERE AT HOME, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO STAY COORDINATED, UH, AMONG THE MAJOR URBAN AREAS. 
          SO, UH, WITH THAT, I LOOK FORWARD TO THE CONVERSATION, AND I, AGAIN, WANT TO REITERATE MY THANKS TO THE CITY TEAM, UH, ERIC, UH, YOUR, YOUR STAFF HAS BEEN REALLY INCREDIBLE, HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB. 
          UM, CHIEF ERIC EPLEY, UH, DON AND COLLEEN, EVERYBODY THAT'S WORKING HOURLY, UH, TIRELESS, UNCOUNTABLE HOURS, UH, YOU ARE DOING WORK THAT IS SO CRITICAL AND THAT WILL BE REMEMBERED AS VERY HEROIC. 
          SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UH, COUNCIL MEMBER KEO HDA. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UH, DON, ON, UH, SLIDE 17, YOU SHOWED A LIST OF TESTING SITES IN THE CITY. 
          UM, TO CLARIFY, DO YOU STILL NEED A REFERRAL FROM YOUR P C P TO GO TO THOSE TESTING SITES? THAT IS CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT IS STILL THE, THE WAY TO ACCESS ANY OF THE TESTING SITES. 
          OKAY. 
          I WAS CONCERNED THAT PEOPLE THINK THEY COULD, MIGHT THINK THEY COULD GO STRAIGHT TO PLACES LIKE TEXAS MED CLINIC, BECAUSE NORMALLY YEAH, THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          THERE IS A PORTAL ON THEIR WEBSITE WHERE YOU CAN, UM, REGISTER TO FOR AN APPOINTMENT ON THEIR SITE. 
          AND, UM, FOR THOSE THAT DON'T HAVE A P C P, THEY CAN GO TO, UH, COMMUNICA. 
          SO THEY CAN DO THAT, OR THEY CAN CALL OUR HOTLINE. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEY CAN, IF THEY WANNA GET TESTING, THEY CAN STILL GO THROUGH THE PRE-APPROVED TESTING SITE AS WELL. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          GREAT. 
          MM-HMM. 
           AND THE, UM, IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE HOTLINE NUMBER, THEY CAN STILL CALL 3 1 1, RIGHT? CORRECT. 
          THAT'S THE NUMBER. 
          GREAT. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT'S TAKING TO GET THE RESULTS OF THE TEST? DEPENDS ON WHAT LAB YOU GO TO. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SO IF YOU GO THROUGH THE PRIVATE LABS, THE PRIVATE LABS ARE TAKEN ANYWHERE BETWEEN THREE TO FOUR DAYS. 
          UM, WITH US, WE'RE, UM, PROCESSING WITHIN 24 HOURS AND U H SS, UM, THEIR LAB JUST STARTED RUNNING, AND THEY CAN PROCESS FAIRLY QUICKLY, LIKE SAME DAY RESULTS. 
          OKAY. 
          SO IT JUST DEPENDS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YOU'RE WELCOME. 
          UM, CARLOS, YOU MENTIONED AN SS B A WEBINAR SERIES, WHEN, HOW CAN WE GET THAT INFORMATION OUT? I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T HEAR YOUR QUESTION. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          UH, YOU MENTIONED THE S B A WEBINAR SERIES. 
          YES. 
          UH, WHEN, HOW CAN WE GET THAT INFORMATION OUT? I'LL PUBLICIZE THAT TO YOU. 
          COUNCILWOMAN, UH, DID GET A NOTICE OVER HERE. 
          I'LL SHARE THAT WITH YOU AND PUT IT ON OUR WEBSITE. 
          GREAT. 
          THERE'S A LISTING OF TIMES AND DATES, ENGLISH AND IN SPANISH, AND I'LL PROVIDE THAT TO YOU. 
          WONDERFUL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND ANDY, UM, I JUST WANNA CLARIFY AGAIN, SS A P D AND CODE ARE NOT OUT LOOKING FOR VIOLATIONS. 
          CORRECT? THERE, THERE ANY POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS OR, UH, THROUGH COMMUNITY REPORT? IS THAT RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT. 
          COUNCILMAN, WE ARE RESPONDING TO CALLS. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, IF, I'M NOT SURE WHO THIS QUESTION GOES TO, BUT IF SOMEONE WANTS TO DONATE, UM, I'M GETTING A LOT OF CALLS TO DONATE MASKS, THE HAND SEW MASKS, UM, UH, HAND SANITIZER, GLOVES, THINGS LIKE THAT, OR EVEN VOLUNTEERING. 
          IS THERE A CENTRAL PLACE FOR THEM TO GO OR, OR A CALL? YES, WE'RE ASKING. 
          WE'RE ASKING AND ACTUALLY COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES TO DONATE AND CONTACT C OVID NINETEEN.SUPPLIES. 
          IT'S ACTUALLY C OVID 19 CLEANING SUPPLIES@SANANTONIO.GOV.

          [01:35:01]
THAT WE NEED, AND THEY'LL REACH OUT TO THEM TO ARRANGE DELIVERY.

          THANK YOU, LORI. 
          UM, ERIC, I APPRECIATE THE DOOR HANGERS. 
          I'VE BEEN VERY CONCERNED ABOUT PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO, UM, SOCIAL MEDIA OR INTERNET, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          UM, IN MY OWN DISTRICT, WE'VE PUT OUT FLYERS IN THE SCHOOL, UM, AND THANK YOU FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR, UH, COOPERATING WITH US.

          AND WE'RE ALSO JUST DOING A MAILER JUST TO GET OUT TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN, UM, THAT DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO, UM, THE INTERNET AND, AND ANOTHER, UM, ACCESSIBLE MEANS OF INFORMATION. 
          SO I APPRECIATE THE DOOR HANGER. 
          I THINK THAT'S GONNA BE VERY HELPFUL. 
          AND JUST TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK SAN ANTONIO.

          UM, I DON'T THINK WE WERE PREPARED AS WELL AS WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FROM, FROM MY, ESPECIALLY THROUGH MY OFFICE, MYSELF. 
          UH, THIS DECLARATION THAT CAME OUT, I ASKED FOR A DRAFT OF IT BEFORE IT CAME OUT. 
          I THINK I GOT THE, THE FINAL COPY, 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE ACTUAL ANNOUNCEMENT. 
          WE HAVE A LOT OF EXPERTISE ON THIS COUNCIL. 
          WE'VE GOT TEACHERS, WE'VE GOT LAWYERS, WE'VE GOT ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS. 
          WE GOT, WE GOT A LOT OF EXPERIENCE THAT REALLY CAN HELP IN PUTTING TOGETHER THESE, THESE PROCLAMATIONS AND TO TRY TO HELP ANSWER A LOT OF THESE QUESTIONS THAT FOLKS HAD. 
          I, I, I, WHEN I DID GET A COPY OF IT, I SAID, WELL, WHAT ABOUT THIS? WHAT ABOUT THAT? WE WERE INUNDATED BY CALLS FROM BUSINESSES, INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE CALLING 3 1 1 COULDN'T GET ANSWERS. 
          CALLING THE MAYOR'S OFFICE WHO WAS IN REFERRING 'EM TO OUR OFFICE. 
          THERE WAS A LOT OF QUESTIONS COMING IN, AND I DON'T THINK WE HANDLED THAT WELL ENOUGH, SPECIFICALLY MYSELF IN MY OFFICE. 
          WE WEREN'T PREPARED FOR THIS. 
          WE DIDN'T HAVE THE ANSWERS. 
          WE HAD TO GO SCOURING THROUGH THIS TO TRY TO MAKE A DETERMINATION AND ANSWER FOLKS. 
          SO, AGAIN, I HAVE ASKED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THAT THERE'S NO REASON THAT WE CAN'T BE HAVING MORE COUNCIL MEETINGS TO DISCUSS THIS IN THE OPEN TO HELP PREPARE FOLKS AND HELP PREPARE OURSELVES FOR WHAT WE'RE GONNA PUT OUT THERE ON THE STREET. 
          UM, THERE'S NO REASON THAT WE CAN'T BE MEETING MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK. 
          AND I APPRECIATE THIS MEETING THAT WE'RE ABLE TO SIT DOWN AND TALK ABOUT THIS AND, AND KIND OF SEE WHAT WORKED WELL, WHAT DIDN'T WORK WELL, AND WHAT WE CAN DO IN THE FUTURE TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. 
          SURE, THERE'S ALWAYS GONNA BE QUESTIONS COMING IN ABOUT ANYTHING THAT WE PUT OUT, BUT I THINK WE COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB IN MINIMIZING THAT THIS TIME. 
          UM, THERE'S STILL A LOT OF PEOPLE REALLY CONCERNED AND SCARED ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON. 
          AND AGAIN, THEY'RE CONTINUING CALL INTO THE OFFICES, EXPRESSING THOSE FEARS AND CONCERNS AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, HEY, CAN I GO TO WORK? IS MY BUSINESS EXEMPT? AND, AND THAT, AND THIS ORDER DID NOT, WAS NOT VERY CLEAR IN A LOT OF THOSE CASES. 
          AND YES, WE DID HAVE THE, THE, UM, VIDEO CONFERENCE, BUT THAT DIDN'T GET OUT TO EVERYBODY. 
          THE 
          [01:40:01]
COUNCIL OFFICES ARE THE FRONT LINES TO OUR DISTRICTS, AND WE NEED TO BE READ INTO THIS MUCH SOONER AND ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PREPARED FOR THIS KIND OF THING BEFORE IT COMES OUT. 
          SO, AGAIN, I'M ASKING, LET'S HAVE MORE MEETINGS TO DISCUSS THIS AND GET MORE NOTIFICATION BEFORE SOMETHING LIKE THIS COMES OUT. 
          SO AGAIN, I'M ASKING FOR THAT, THAT TO HAPPEN PRIOR TO THESE PROCLAMATIONS COMING OUT. 
          I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS HERE. 
          UM, UH, DR. 
          EMRICH, IN YOUR BRIEFINGS WITH THE INFORMATION THAT, AND STATUS ON, ON THESE, YOU CAN DE, YOU CAN DEDUCE HOW MANY NEGATIVE TESTS THERE WERE, BUT WE'RE NOT VERY CLEAR ON, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY PEOPLE BEING TESTED ARE NEGATIVE AND ARE CLEARED TO GO BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY. 
          UH, CAN WE ADD THAT TO YOUR STATISTICS AND YOUR CHARTS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING A FULL CLEAR PICTURE OF THAT? YES, SIR. 
          SO, YES, AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I REALLY APPRECIATED, UH, BEING INCLUDED IN THE DECLARATION, IS REQUIRING ALL OF THE LABS TO SEND US THEIR NEGATIVE RESULTS. 
          UM, WE HAD THAT TESTING TASK FORCE MEETING THIS MONDAY, THIS LAST MONDAY, AND THE LABS, UH, THE LAB REPRESENTATIVES THAT WERE THERE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THERE WAS A DECLARATION. 
          SO WE TOOK THE TIME TO EDUCATE THEM DURING THAT TIME AND SAID, YES, WE NEED YOUR DATA. 
          AND SO WE DO EXPECT TO GET THAT. 
          ONCE WE GET IT. 
          UM, WE WILL CERTAINLY MAKE SURE THAT IT'S A PART OF OUR VISUALIZATION. 
          OKAY. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH, DOCTOR, UM, MARIA, ON YOUR SLIDE THAT SHOWS THE, UH, PRELIMINARY IMPACT IMPACTS TO OUR BUDGET, AND I CAN APPRECIATE THE RANGES THAT YOU WERE GIVEN. 
          BUT, UM, WHEN, WHEN YOU'RE SHOWING THESE TYPES OF SLIDES, CAN YOU, YOU'RE SAYING WE HAVE AN, UH, AN IMPACT TO THE BUDGET. 
          CAN YOU SHOW WHAT WE HAD BUDGETED OR 2020 THAT WILL SHOW THE, THE ACTUAL DATA OF WHAT THAT IMPACT WILL BE TO THE BUDGET? UH, RIGHT NOW, WITHOUT GOING THROUGH MY BUDGET BOOK, THE BIG THICK BOOK, I CAN'T TELL. 
          OKAY. 
          THE AIRPORT 12 TO 20 MILLION OR WHATEVER THAT WAS, WHAT WAS THE, WHAT WAS THE BUDGET FOR 2020? SO IF YOU CAN LIST THAT OUT ON THAT SLIDE, THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL AS WELL. 
          WE CAN DO THAT, COUNCILMAN. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, IS THE CHIEF THERE? MY, HE'S ON HIS WAY TO THE MICROPHONE. 
          COUNCILMAN. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YES, SIR. 
          HEY, CHIEF, UM, CAN YOU FILL US IN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE BEXAR COUNTY JAIL AND HOW THAT'S IMPACTING YOU AND OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT? YOU TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER CHIEF? OH, I'M SORRY. 
          . 
          CHIEF MCMANUS. 
          SORRY ABOUT THAT. 
          CHIEF BUD , I'LL STEP BACK. 
          , I'M NOT WINGING IT. 
          COUNCILMAN, IF WE COULD MOVE ON TO ANOTHER QUESTION. 
          UH, CHIEF WILL BE RIGHT HERE, SIR. 
          OKAY, SURE. 
          UM, JEFF, WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT, WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION THAT YOU'RE SENDING OUT TO THE, TO THE FIELD OFFICES. 
          IT'S, IT'S HELPING, BUT WE NEED TO INCREASE THAT COMMUNICATION, AND NOT JUST COMMUNICATION, BUT TRAINING FOR OUR STAFFS THROUGH THE CHIEFS OF STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PREPARED WHEN THIS INFORMATION HITS THE STREET, OR THINGS THAT ARE COMING FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND FROM THE STATE ABOUT WHAT, WHERE PEOPLE CAN GO TO, TO GET THAT HELP. 
          I KNOW YOU'RE, YOU'RE WORKING VERY HARD TO COMMUNICATE THAT, BUT IN WE'RE THE FRONT LINES IN OUR COUNCIL DISTRICT OFFICES, AND WE'RE, UH, WE'RE TRYING TO PUT THAT INFORMATION OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 
          SO ANYTHING MORE THAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP GET THAT INFORMATION TO US AND TRAIN US TO KNOW WHERE TO GO LOOK FOR THOSE ANSWERS WOULD BE VERY, VERY HELPFUL. 
          GREAT. 
          I'LL, I'LL SAY COUNCILMAN. 
          THE, UM, THE MAIN DIRECTION THAT WE WOULD ASK IS THAT, UM, ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THINGS LIKE THAT FOR, FOR EXAMPLE, UNEMPLOYMENT OR LOANS, OR THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT BE GETTING CALLS TO RESIDENTS? WE'RE, WE'RE PUTTING ON THE HOMEPAGE OF THE WEBSITE, THERE ARE VARIOUS TABS FOR BUSINESSES, FOR EMPLOYEES AND SO FORTH AND, AND TRYING TO STEER EVERYBODY THERE. 
          UH, AS ERIC MENTIONED, UH, YOU KNOW, WE, WE ALSO HAVE THE CONCERN ABOUT THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET. 
          SO IN THOSE CASES, WE'RE STEERING FOLKS TO THE HOTLINE, 
          [01:45:01]
UH, OR IF THEY DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER TO THE HOTLINE TO 3 1 1, UH, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO USE THE WEBSITE AS THE CLEARING HOUSE, UH, FOR EVERYTHING SO THAT WE CAN, WE CAN COMPILE THE INFORMATION THERE AND, AND POINT PEOPLE IN, INTO ONE PLACE. 
          UH, ONE OTHER THING I'LL ADD, UH, JUST ON THE FEDERAL PIECE THAT YOU MENTIONED, ERIC HAS BEEN ASKING, UH, DAILY THAT WE PUT UPDATES ON STATE AND FEDERAL RELATED ITEMS IN THE EMAIL THAT GOES TO COUNSEL. 
          UH, SO EVEN THOUGH ALL THE INFORMATION ISN'T COMPLETELY THE RESOLVED, EACH DAY BILLS ARE STILL BEING DISCUSSED AND SO FORTH, WE WANT TO TRY TO KEEP YOU ALL INFORMED ABOUT WHERE THINGS STAND. 
          SO YOU'RE EQUIPPED WITH THAT. 
          GREAT. 
          APPRECIATE THAT. 
          AND I'M, UM, PARTICULARLY THE FOLKS THAT DON'T HAVE THAT INTERNET ACCESS, WE HAVE, WE HAVE OTHER WAYS TO COMMUNICATE WITH OUR COMMUN UH, NEIGHBORS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO, YEAH. 
          UH, THAT'S GREAT. 
          JUST KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ON KEEPING US INFORMED AND HELP US, UH, TO UNDERSTAND THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER. 
          UH, I SAW THE CHIEF WALKING IN, ARE YOU THERE? CHIEF MCMANUS? NOT CHIEF HOOD. 
          GOOD MORNING, MAYOR. 
          COUNCIL. 
          UH, COUNCILMAN, YOU HAD A QUESTION ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE JAIL YES, SIR. 
          AND HOW, HOW Y'ALL ARE, UM, HOW Y'ALL ARE HANDLING THAT AS WELL. 
          WELL, I CAN TELL YOU WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE, AT THE MAGS OFFICE. 
          I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE JAIL, BUT AT THE MAGS OFFICE, WE'VE GOT A, A TENT SET UP WITH U H S. 
          AND EVERY, UH, ARRESTEE THAT'S BROUGHT IN IS, IS TAKEN THROUGH THAT TENT, UM, BEFORE THEY PROCEED ANY FURTHER. 
          AND THEY'RE HAVING THEIR TEMPERATURE TAKEN, THEY'RE ANSWERING THREE QUESTIONS. 
          HAVE YOU BEEN, HAVE YOU BEEN, UM, TRAVELING? HAVE YOU HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS? AND HAS ANY MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY BEEN TRAVELING? UH, IF THE ANSWER TO THOSE QUESTIONS, ANY OF THOSE QUESTIONS IS YES, UH, THEY GET A RED BAND AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE, UH, THEY'RE NOT TAKEN INTO THE FACILITY. 
          EVERYONE IS BEING MAGGED OUTSIDE OF THE FACILITY, UH, VIA, VIA, UM, UH, VIDEO CONFERENCE. 
          AND THEN FROM THAT POINT, THEY'RE TAKEN, UH, THEY'RE TAKEN OVER TO THE JAIL AND DROPPED OFF. 
          BUT, UH, AND THE JAIL IS BEING, UH, I'M SORRY, THE, THE MAGS OFFICE IS BEING CLEANED ON A REGULAR BASIS BASIS, DISINFECTED. 
          UM, SO WE WE'RE TAKING PRECAUTIONS THERE AS WELL TO KEEP, TO KEEP THE, UH, MAGISTRATE'S OFFICE FROM BECOMING INFECTED. 
          GREAT. 
          THAT'S AWESOME. 
          CHIEF, UH, THE DA AND, UM, UM, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT NOT ARRESTING NONVIOLENT CRIMINALS. 
          CAN YOU GO INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT? OR, OR NOT PROSECUTING, CAN YOU GO INTO THAT A LITTLE? WE HAVE NOT GIVEN ANY INSTRUCTION TO ANY SS A P D OFFICER TO NOT ARREST THEIR, JUST THEIR INSTRUCTION HAS BEEN, USE YOUR DISCRETION AS ALWAYS. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT, SO YOU DON'T KNOW HOW THE DA IS HANDLING THOSE THAT OKAY. 
          THE DISCRETION IS YES, GO AHEAD AND ARREST 'EM, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE STATISTICS OF WHO'S TAKEN, TAKEN IN AND WHO'S THEN IS BEING PROSECUTED AND OR WHO'S BEING TURNED LOOSE. 
          MY UNDERSTANDING, UH, COUNCILMAN, IS THAT THEY HAVE ASKED NOT TO ARREST, UH, NONVIOLENT PRISONERS. 
          WE HAVE NOT, UH, THAT HAS NOT BEEN OUR POLICY. 
          WHAT THE DA'S DOING WITH THEM OVER THERE. 
          I'M NOT SURE. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          GREAT. 
          WELL, I'LL, UH, CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE DA ON WHAT HIS POLICY IS AND HOW HE'S WORKING. 
          HE DID, HE DID TALK ABOUT THAT ON THAT VIRTUAL, UM, COMMUNICATION THE OTHER DAY. 
          AND, UM, I'M STILL A LITTLE BIT UNCLEAR ON WHAT, WHERE, WHAT THEY WERE DOING. 
          UH, I'VE HEARD THE JUDGE JUDGE WOLF TALK ABOUT, UH, RELEASING FOLKS OUT OF THE JAIL. 
          DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THAT AT ALL? THERE WERE, I BELIEVE 145 PRISONERS RELEASED LAST WEDNESDAY. 
          OKAY. 
          AND AT THE SAME TIME, 137 PRISONERS WERE BROUGHT IN. 
          SO THEY HAD A NECK GAIN OF, UH, WHAT, EIGHT, NINE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          GREAT. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, THANK YOU, CHIEF. 
          APPRECIATE THAT. 
          AND THANKS FOR, UH, UH, WORKING THAT AT THE MAGS OFFICE AND, AND, UH, KEEPING THINGS SAFE THERE FOR OUR FOLKS AS WELL AS, UH, FOLKS THAT WERE PROCESSING THROUGH THERE AS WELL. 
          UM, THANK YOU, DR. 
          EMRICK. 
          THANK YOU, CHIEF. 
          YES. 
          ERIC WENT INTO IT A LITTLE BIT, BUT, UH, I'M SURE Y'ALL HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT AND HAVE SOME IDEA ABOUT WHAT THE FUTURE IS BREAKING, AND WHEN I'M TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE, SAYING, WHAT'S GONNA BE THE CRITERIA FOR WHEN WE START TO BACK OFF ON THESE RESTRICTIONS AND WHAT CAN WE BE TELLING OUR COMMUNITIES OUT HERE? WHAT ARE WE, WHERE ARE WE WORKING TOWARDS, AND WHAT ARE GONNA BE THOSE RELIEF POINTS MM-HMM. 
          [01:50:01]
 THAT WE'RE NOT GONNA BE EXTENDING THESE ANYMORE AND WE'RE GONNA GET BACK TO NORMAL BUSINESS? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. 
          AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE MADE THE DATA INTEGRATION AND, UM, INNOVATION A PRIORITY. 
          WE NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO COLLECT THE, THE DATA THAT I MENTIONED IN MY PRESENTATION TO START LOOKING AT SOME PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS. 
          AND SO THAT, UM, THE DATA FROM OUR EPIDEMIOLOGISTS, THE DATA FROM THE HOSPITALS, WHICH WOULD BE OUR UTILIZATION DATA AND OUR EM E M S RESPONSE, UH, WE WANNA LOOK AT P P E, UM, P P E SUPPLY, UM, VENTILATOR SUPPLY. 
          ALL OF THOSE THINGS NEED TO BE ABLE TO GIVE US A VISUALIZATION AND SOME PREDICTION ON THE IMPACT THAT, UH, C OVID 19 IS HAVING ON OUR COMMUNITY. 
          UNTIL WE CAN GET THAT MODELING DONE, WE'RE REALLY NOT ABLE TO GIVE YOU TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS, BUT WE'RE REALLY CLOSE. 
          IN FACT, I HAVE A MEETING TODAY, ERIC EPLEY AND I HAVE A MEETING THIS AFTERNOON TO START REALLY PUTTING THAT MODELING TOGETHER. 
          UM, THAT'S AT ONE 30. 
          SO WE'RE ON A, WE'RE ON THE CUSP OF BEING ABLE TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS THAT CAN HELP INFORM ANY FUTURE DECLARATIONS. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER, ERIC WANTS TO ALSO PROVIDE SOME CLARITY ON THAT. 
          SURE. 
          UM, ONE THING, AND THIS GOES TO, TO A QUESTION ALSO THAT, THAT COUNCILWOMAN HDA ASKED, UM, AND DAWN REFERRED TO IT IN HER, IN HER PRESENTATION, THE FEDERAL TESTING, UM, THAT IS BEING CONDUCTED AT THE FREEMAN, UH, CENTER, UM, THAT THAT SYSTEM, USING FEDERAL TESTS BEGAN ON SUNDAY. 
          AS WE OPERATED THAT FACILITY LAST WEEK. 
          WE WERE LOSING LOCAL TESTS AND, UH, MANY OF THOSE RESULTS WERE BEING CONDUCTED, UM, BEING RUN AT OUR, OUR METRO HEALTH LAB ON SATURDAY. 
          THERE WAS A PAUSE STATEWIDE BECAUSE, UH, FEMA AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BROUGHT IN TESTS FOR ALL OF THE MAJOR CITIES. 
          SO A, A PAUSE ON SATURDAY OCCURRED BECAUSE STATEWIDE, THERE WERE CERTAIN PROCEDURES THAT NEEDED TO BE MET ACCORDING TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. 
          THAT TESTING STARTED BACK UP ON SUNDAY. 
          AND THE, AND THE TEST RESULTS FOR, UM, UM, FROM SUNDAY, WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED YET. 
          SO DAWN SHOWED YOU A SLIDE THAT SHOWED, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE LOOKING AT 120, 140 TESTS A DAY. 
          AND, AND TO YOUR QUESTION, COUNCILWOMAN, UM, WE EXPECT TO START TO SEE THE RESULTS FROM THAT TESTING ON SUNDAY, MAYBE TODAY OR TOMORROW. 
          THE INCREMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, AS YOU'VE GOTTEN THE DAILY REPORT FROM US, HAVE BEEN PRIMARILY EITHER POSITIVES THAT HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED AT HOSPITALS OR PRIVATE LABS. 
          BUT, BUT THOSE ADDITIONAL DATA POINTS ARE GONNA START COMING. 
          'CAUSE THERE'S ABOUT A FOUR DAY TURNAROUND TIME FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TESTS. 
          UM, AND, AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. 
          AND TO YOUR POINT, UM, COUNCILMAN PERRY, THOSE ADDITIONAL DATA POINTS ARE GONNA BE HELPFUL IN DOING THAT PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS THAT DAWN IS DESCRIBING. 
          UM, I, I SUSPECT THAT, UH, IF WE'RE TAKING 120, 140 TESTS A DAY, UM, IT, IT, WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT OUR POSITIVE RATE IS GONNA BE. 
          THOSE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE SCREENED BY DOCTORS AND NEEDED THAT TEST. 
          BUT IT'LL BE VERY, UM, UH, HELPFUL FOR US FROM A DATA POINT STANDPOINT TO START TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THAT SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION. 
          WHICH GOES TO THE, THE POINT THAT DON ALSO TALKED ABOUT, THAT THAT MAPPING AND THAT MODELING AND THE WORK WITH UT HEALTH TO DO THAT PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS AS WE GET THOSE ADDITIONAL DATA POINTS, UM, WILL ALLOW US TO HAVE THAT PLATFORM. 
          AND I, I THINK THAT'S CRITICAL. 
          I, I WANTED TO REINFORCE SOMETHING THAT, THAT DON HAD SAID. 
          WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THOSE RESULTS SINCE, UH, FROM SUNDAY AT AT FREEMAN, AND WE'RE DOING 120, 140 A DAY. 
          THOSE HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN ANY OF THE NUMBERS YOU'VE SEEN THIS WEEK. 
          AND THEY ARE LIKELY TO BEGIN EITHER THIS AFTERNOON OR TOMORROW. 
          AND, AND WE WILL SEE, WE WILL SEE AN INCREASE THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, UH, I'M JUST, I'M VERY INTERESTED IN THE DATA AND DR. 
          EMRICH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR PUTTING THESE SLIDES TOGETHER. 
          I THINK THEY'RE VERY HELPFUL. 
          UM, I'M JUST LOOKING AT WHAT THE PROCESS, NUMBER ONE, WHAT'S THE CRITERIA GONNA BE FOR LOOSENING THESE RESTRICTIONS? AND THEN WHAT'S THE PROCESS ON RELEASING THE CITY FROM THESE, UH, RESTRICTIVE CRITERIA? UM, IS THAT GONNA COME THROUGH THE COUNCIL? IS THAT GONNA BE MADE, UM, BY THE MAYOR'S OFFICE? HOW IS THAT GONNA HAPPEN? SO THOSE ARE ALL ITEMS THAT I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS AND TRY TO FI FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GONNA MOVE TO THE NEXT POINT AND HOW WE'RE GONNA KEEP OUR RESIDENTS INFORMED OF WHAT WE'RE DOING AND WHY, HOW, IF THIS IS GONNA BE EXTENDED, IF THIS IS GONNA BE SHORTENED, 
          [01:55:01]
AND WHAT'S THE CRITERIA AND PROCESS GONNA BE TO GET THERE. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN AT THIS POINT. 
          AND AGAIN, I HOPE THAT WE CAN HAVE ADDITIONAL OPEN COUNCIL MEETINGS TO DISCUSS THIS AND NOT GET THESE KIND OF PROCLAMATIONS 30 MINUTES BEFORE THEY'RE ACTUALLY ANNOUNCED WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT'S ON 'EM. 
          SO, UM, I THINK THERE WAS A FEW COMMENTS. 
          Y'ALL PROBABLY HEARD MY CUCKOO CLOCK GOING OFF A WHILE AGO. 
          WE'RE ALREADY PAST 11 O'CLOCK. 
          UM, MY CUCKOO CLOCK WAS CHIMING IN AS WELL. 
          ANYWAY, THANK Y'ALL VERY MUCH. 
          APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER PERRY, COUNCIL MEMBER RO GARCIA. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UH, THANK YOU EVERYONE. 
          I TOO AM AT HOME. 
          UH, SO THANK YOU FOR FACILITATING THIS, ERIC, AND YOUR STAFF HAS BEEN WONDERFUL IN, UM, IN, IN GETTING THIS ON BOARD, I HAVE A QUESTION, AND IT'S SPECIFICALLY, SOME OF MY CONSTITUENTS ARE ASKING ABOUT THE PARKS. 
          UH, AND SO I KNOW THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE REMAINING OPEN FOR A REASON, A VERY GOOD REASON, AND WE ALL NEED TO EXERCISE, ET CETERA. 
          BUT I AM JUST WONDERING, AT WHAT POINT CAN YOU TELL ME AT WHAT POINT WOULD THERE BE A CONSIDERATION FOR CLOSING PARKS? I KNOW THAT SOME, UM, KIDS ARE STILL ACCESSING THE PARK AND MAYBE ARE NOT WITH THEIR PARENTS, AND SO BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT WITH THEIR PARENTS, UM, PERHAPS THEY DON'T REALIZE THAT THEY SHOULD BE SOCIALLY DISTANCING. 
          AND SO, UM, I WANTED TO START OFF WITH THAT QUESTION BEFORE I FORGOT, AND THEN I'LL GO INTO MY OTHERS COUNCILWOMAN. 
          UM, UM, THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. 
          SO WE, WE ARE, WE ARE ENCOURAGING SOCIAL DISTANCING OF THE PARKS. 
          AND THE PARKS ARE OBVIOUSLY A SORT OF, UH, A SOURCE OF RECREATION, UH, FOR FOLKS, UH, DURING THIS PERIOD. 
          UM, WE ARE ASKING CERTAIN FUNCTIONS LIKE BASKETBALL GAMES, UH, WHERE YOU'RE IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS OR, OR PLAIN THAT YOU NOT DO THAT. 
          UM, AND WE HAVE ASKED, UM, THE PARK POLICE TO, TO BE AWARE OF THAT, JUST TO REMIND FOLKS, UM, THIS IS A TRANSITION PERIOD FOR THE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, AND, AND, UM, I THINK IF WE START TO SEE, UM, MAYBE, UH, FOLKS NOT ADHERING TO THOSE SUGGESTIONS AT THE PARKS, THEN WE'LL LOOK AT DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY. 
          BUT I THINK, I THINK RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO MAINTAIN, UM, THE MESSAGING AND A PROPER BALANCE FOR FOLKS. 
          AND, AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S A LOT OF THE SAME APPROACH THAT THE CODE OFFICERS ARE TAKING AS THEY'RE RESPONDING TO, UM, CALLS THAT WE'RE GETTING ABOUT, UM, RESTAURANTS BEING OPEN OR HEALTH GYMS. UH, IT'S MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S EDUCATION FIRST. 
          UH, EVERYBODY WE'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH FROM EVERY CALL, UH, THIS WEEK SO FAR, UM, HAS BEEN COMPLIANT AND HAS WORKED WITH THE CITY. 
          I THINK EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THE COMMUNITY URGENCY OF THIS, AND THAT'S THE APPROACH WE'LL TAKE, UH, WITH THE PARKS. 
          UM, I, I DON'T KNOW IF, IF, IF THAT CHANGES, THEN WE'LL NEED TO, WE'LL NEED TO PIVOT, BUT I THINK IT'LL, IT'LL GO BACK TO WHAT A NUMBER OF YOU HAVE ALREADY SAID IS, IS MAKING SURE THE RIGHT INFORMATION OUT THERE. 
          UM, BUT, BUT I, I'M, WE'RE NOT SEEING IN TERMS OF ENFORCEMENT RIGHT NOW, ANY REAL CHALLENGES. 
          THERE'VE BEEN A COUPLE OF PLACES THAT, THAT HAVE, YOU KNOW, REQUIRED TWO VISITS, BUT, BUT EVERYBODY HAS BEEN COMPLIANT. 
          WE'RE REALLY RELYING UPON EVERYBODY'S COMMUNITY, UM, UM, RESPONSIBILITY TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU, ERIC. 
          UM, AND THEN ALSO I WANTED TO, UH, TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO THANK CHIEF HOOD AND DR. 
          EMRICH AND, UH, DR. 
          BRIDGER AND, AND STA UH, STRAC OF COURSE, WHO'S BEEN DOING A WONDERFUL JOB. 
          AND, UM, AND, AND YOU, ERIC AND MARIA. 
          UM, MARIA, I LOVE THE PRESENTATION. 
          UM, BY THE WAY, I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT. 
          UH, DR. 
          UH, BRIDGER, UM, I GAVE HER A, A JUST KUDOS ON THAT SCREENING TOOL. 
          I THINK THAT, UM, IT'S IMPORTANT FOR FOLKS TO KIND OF GO OUT THERE AND SCREEN THEMSELVES AND, UH, I THINK THAT IT'S EASY TO USE AND, UH, I AM LOVING THE FACT THAT IT'S ON THE FRONT PAGE, SO THANK YOU G P A FOR THAT AS WELL. 
          UM, IS THERE ANY THOUGHT, AND I DON'T KNOW WHO, UH, TAKES THIS QUESTION, BUT IT, HAS THERE BEEN ANY THOUGHT TO AT WHAT POINT WE LIMIT THE NUMBER OF, OF, OF FOLKS THAT CAN COME INTO BUSINESSES PER SQUARE FOOT? I'LL, I'LL TRY TO TACKLE THAT ONE. 
          COUNCILWOMAN. 
          UM, THE, THE ORDER WAS WRITTEN SO THAT WE MAINTAIN THE SOCIAL DISTANCING AND OTHER HYGIENE, UM, REQUIREMENTS BY C D C AND THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. 
          UM, WHAT WE DIDN'T WANNA DO THOUGH IS LIMIT THE CREATIVITY. 
          AND WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF IT, FRANKLY, FROM OUR BUSINESSES IN TERMS OF HOW THEY MAINTAIN THAT SOCIAL DISTANCING ALL THE WAY TO H E B, ACTUALLY HAVING FOOTPRINTS TO MAKE SURE THAT'S SIX FEET ACROSS. 
          [02:00:01]
UM, YOU'VE HAD RESTAURANTS THAT ENCOURAGE ONLINE ORDERING AND HAVE YOU DRIVE UP AND THEY'LL DELIVER THE FOOD TO YOU. 
          UM, SO, UH, WE DON'T REALLY WANT TO STIFLE THAT CRE CREATIVITY, AND WE THINK SOMETHING THAT GETS THAT MUCH INTO THE WEEDS, WE'LL PROBABLY DO THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANDY. 
          ALSO, UM, TO THE TEST, I JUST, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THE TESTS THAT ARE BEING DONE, AND I'M AFRAID THAT SOME OF THE FOLKS MAYBE IN, IN D FOUR, IN OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY, UM, HAVE THAT LOWER DOT, UH, OR THE SMALLER DOT THAT YOU SHOW SHOWED DR. 
          EMRICH BECAUSE MAYBE THEY, THEY'RE SCARED, UM, TO GO IN AND, UH, ASK FOR HELP OR THEY DON'T HAVE INSURANCE, OR QUITE FRANKLY, JUST THE MONEY TO BE SEEN, UM, BY A DOCTOR. 
          CAN YOU HELP ME, UM, UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING AS A CITY TO ADDRESS THAT AND MAYBE ALSO TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY, REGARDLESS OF, UM, INSURANCE OR, UM, STATUS IN THE COUNTRY, ET CETERA, HAS ACCESS TO THESE TESTS. 
          I'M HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF HARD TIME HEARING YOU, YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF AN ECHO, BUT I THINK WHAT YOU WERE ASKING IS TRYING TO ASSURE THAT FOLKS WHO ARE DOING THE SCREENING, UM, WILL HAVE ACCESS TO A, UM, TO A PROVIDER AND IF THEY HAVE, IF THEY DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE, THAT THERE WOULD BE A CONNECTION. 
          UM, AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE GOALS FOR THE SCREENING TEST, IS THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PROVIDED ANOTHER CHANNEL IN ADDITION TO THE HOTLINE NUMBER FOR FOLKS TO BE ABLE TO GO IN, UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR OPTIONS ARE, AND THAT, UM, IF, IF ON THE SCREEN IT INDICATES THAT YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR PROVIDER TO INQUIRE ABOUT A TEST, IT DOES PROVIDE THE INFORMATION WHERE FOLKS CAN CALL THE HOTLINE AND THEN TRY TO REGISTER FOR THE PRE-APPROVED SITE TEST. 
          I MEAN, TESTING SITE, IF THEY DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE, THAT'S THE OTHER AREA ON THE HOTLINE WHERE THEY WILL TAKE THEIR NAME AND INFORMATION AND SEND THAT ALONG TO THE PRE-APPROVED TESTING SITE AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A PROVIDER THAT'S PROVIDED FOR THEM, UM, TO GET TO THAT TESTING SITE. 
          IF THEY GET TO THE SCREENING SITE AND THEY, AND THE PAGE COMES UP WHERE IT'S JUST ASSURANCE, THEN IT REDIRECTS THEM TO OUR WEBSITE THAT HAS ALL OF THE INFORMATION NECESSARY FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING AND MITIGATION. 
          UM, SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE, THAT'S TOTALLY ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE WANTED TO DO THIS SCREENING SITE IS TO CATCH FOLKS WHO MAY NOT NEED TESTS. 
          REMEMBER, NOT EVERYONE NEEDS A TEST, AND SO, BUT THEY NEED ASSURANCE. 
          THEY NEED TO BE MADE TO FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING IS OKAY AND THEY CAN TAKE A DEEP BREATH. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT, UM, THE TEST IS PROVIDING. 
          THE SCREENING TEST IS PROVIDING. 
          DID I ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO HEAR WITH THE ECHO. 
          YES. 
          AND I'LL SEND YOU ANY MORE QUESTIONS BY, BY EMAIL TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT. 
          UM, I DO HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION. 
          DO WE HAVE ANY, UH, RESEARCH ON, AND I'VE DONE JUST SOME, SOME QUICK RESEARCH FROM HOME ABOUT WHAT WE ARE DOING AS, UH, A CITY AND, AND A LOT OF IT IS BEING DONE BY, UH, FOR INSTANCE, THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS AND OUR PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. 
          BUT I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THE KIDS THAT ARE AT HOME NOW FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AND MIGHT NOT HAVE, UH, OR MIGHT NOT BE IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. 
          SO I ACTUALLY, UH, WROTE A LETTER TO MY LOCAL STATE REPS AND, AND STATE SENATORS WITH THAT CONCERN. 
          UM, BUT DO YOU, OR HAVE YOU HEARD DR. 
          EMRICH OF ANY ADDITIONAL STEPS THAT ARE BEING TAKEN FOR FOLKS THAT ARE WORRIED? HAVEN'T HAD ANYTHING SPECIFICALLY, BUT I CAN TELL YOU WITHIN THE E O C, THE UNIFIED COMMAND IS PUTTING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF EMPHASIS ON HUMAN SERVICES. 
          AND SO WE HAVE REALLY INCREASED, UM, THE NUMBER OF FOLKS FROM OUR DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN, UM, HUMAN SERVICES THAT ARE OVER AT THE E O C TO REALLY HELP US DO MORE OF THAT SOCIAL SERVICE OUTREACH, UM, INTO OUR, SOME OF OUR TARGETED AUDIENCES. 
          SO I DON'T HAVE SPECIFIC DETAILS FOR YOU, BUT I KNOW THAT THAT IS A PRIORITY THAT WE'VE INCREASED THEIR PRESENCE AT THE E O C, YOU KNOW, COUNCILWOMAN, LET ME ADD ALSO THAT, THAT, UM, THEY'RE PROBABLY, I, I THINK EVERYBODY'S, UM, THINKING THROUGH WHAT DOES, WHAT DOES STAY AT HOME MEAN FOR FAMILIES AND KIDS, AND, UM, BECAUSE WE'VE NEVER, AS A COMMUNITY AND PROBABLY AS A COUNTRY, WE'VE NEVER GONE THROUGH THAT. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I, I THINK THE SCHOOLS ARE PROBABLY ALSO TALKING THROUGH WHAT THOSE IMPACTS ARE AND, UM, YOU KNOW, WE PROBABLY, UH, ARE NOT AS, AS, AS WELL ALIGNED AS WE NEED TO BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S KIND OF A, A SECONDARY ISSUE. 
          UM, AND, AND, UM, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING WE OUGHT TO THINK THROUGH, UH, GOING FORWARD. 
          I, I WILL, I WILL SAY THAT, THAT, UH, IT, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US, UH, AND OTHERS TO REMEMBER THAT, 
          [02:05:01]
THAT, YOU KNOW, RESPONSE, RECOVERY AND BASIC OPERATIONS, UM, CAN'T BE, UH, ADJUSTED BECAUSE THEN, UM, THEN, THEN WE ARE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA GET OFF TRACK, BUT, BUT I THINK WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA NATURALLY SEE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE STRENGTHENED. 
          AND I THINK MANY OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE GOING THROUGH A LOT OF THE SAME THINKING. 
          GREAT, THANK YOU, ERIC. 
          AND THAT ALSO HOLDS THE SAME FOR FOLKS THAT ARE IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SITUATIONS. 
          SO I I DIDN'T MENTION THAT EARLIER. 
          SO EARLIER. 
          THESE ARE SOME OF OUR MOST, MOST VULNERABLE FOLKS, AS YOU ALL KNOW. 
          UM, ALSO, I, I CONTINUE TO PUSH ON THE NEED TO COMMUNICATE WITH FOLKS WHO DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO SOCIAL MEDIA. 
          UM, I SENT POSTCARDS TO MY RESIDENTS AND WE SHARED, UH, MY TEAM SHARED THE POSTCARD AND ANY COMMUNICATION THAT WE'RE DOING WITH OTHER CHIEFS OF STAFF, UH, FOR THE OTHER DISTRICTS AND, AND JUST LET THEM KNOW, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY AND DISTRICT COURT DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS, UH, TO INTERNET. 
          SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE REACHED OUT. 
          I'LL BE, UM, RECORDING A ROBOCALL AS WELL, UH, TO MY, MY CONSTITUENTS. 
          SO, UM, I WANT TO MAYBE JUST LET OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS KNOW THAT THERE'S THESE OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL. 
          WE'LL SHARE THE SCRIPT WITH YOU ALL. 
          UM, THANK YOU COUNCILWOMAN VERDA FOR, UM, CONTACTING THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS AS WELL AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY PLACED THIS SOUTHWEST I S D. 
          AND MY DISTRICT HAS BEEN, UH, VERY CRITICAL. 
          SOUTH SAN I S D HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL AS WELL. 
          I'M IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE SUPERINTENDENTS, CHECKING IN ON THE STUDENTS, MAKING SURE THEY HAVE MEALS DELIVERED, UH, ACCESS TO, UM, TO CLASSWORK, ET CETERA. 
          SO I THINK THAT IT'S GONNA TAKE EACH AND ONE OF US, EVERY ONE OF US TO REACH OUT TO OUR SUPERINTENDENTS, UM, AND JUST TO OUR LOCAL NONPROFITS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE ALL RIGHT. 
          I KNOW WE'VE BEEN IN CONTACT ALSO WITH, UM, CASA. 
          AND, UM, I'M, I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT, UH, WE ARE TRYING TO MOVE AS FAST AS WE CAN ON A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS THAT MAYBE WE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT UNTIL WE HAD TO DO THIS. 
          ERIC, I DO WANNA SAY THANK YOU A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN I MET WITH YOU, AND THIS WAS JUST STARTING, AND THE REASON THAT IT WAS SUCH A BIG FOCUS WAS BECAUSE OF, UM, THE LACKLAND EVACUEE SITUATION. 
          AND SO I LISTED OFF A LIST OF LIKE 12 DIFFERENT THINGS, AND I WAS LIKE, HAVE WE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS? AND SO I THINK YOU'VE ADDRESSED ALL OF THEM ALREADY. 
          ONE OF THOSE EARLY THINGS THAT I HAD MENTIONED WAS THOSE DOOR HANGERS. 
          THEN WHEN IT CAME UP AGAIN, UH, I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT IT UNTIL IT CAME UP AGAIN DURING OUR, UH, SMALL COMMUNICATIONS MEETING. 
          AND I MENTIONED ADDRESSING THE TOP 10 MOST VULNERABLE ZIP CODES ACCORDING TO THE STATUS OF POVERTY REPORT, BECAUSE THEY MORE THAN LIKELY DID NOT HAVE INTERNET CONNECTION. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT'S BEING DONE. 
          IT'S ABOUT 30,000 FOLKS, IS WHAT I UNDERSTAND. 
          SO I JUST WANTED TO, UH, PERSONALLY THANK YOU FOR, UM, MAKING SURE THAT WE BUDGETED FOR REACHING OUT TO THOSE FOLKS THAT MOST NEED IT. 
          I ALSO HAVE, UM, SPOKEN WITH, UM, COUNCILMAN ELIAS, UH, ABOUT SOME ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT I THINK WE SHOULD START ADDRESSING AT THE I G R COMMITTEE LEVEL, EVEN IF IT TAKES MEETING BY WEB CONFERENCE OR BY PHONE CONFERENCE. 
          I HAVE A QUESTION FOR CARLOS. 
          UM, CARLOS, IN THE PRESENTATION, I'M, I'M VERY HAPPY THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT SMALL BUSINESSES. 
          I'M HAPPY THAT, UH, YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING AT SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING FUND. 
          CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND? I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT MAYBE WE CONSIDER LOOKING AT THE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND PERHAPS MAYBE ADJUSTING WHO QUALIFIES, BECAUSE AS I UNDERSTAND RIGHT NOW, IF YOU'VE STOPPED MAKING PAYMENT, UM, OR DEFAULTED ON, ON SOMETHING IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS, OR MAYBE HAVE EVEN BEEN LATE ON A VEHICLE OR MORTGAGE PAYMENT, YOU DON'T QUALIFY. 
          SO I WANT TO SEE IF WE'RE WORKING WITH THE FUND TO ADDRESS THIS. 
          COUNCILMAN, IF I, EXCUSE ME IF I UNDERSTOOD YOUR QUESTION CORRECTLY. 
          IT'S, UH, YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT QUALIFICATIONS THAT, THAT BUSINESSES NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET A LOAN FROM LIFT FUND. 
          IS THAT ESSENTIALLY WHAT IT IS AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP THEM? SO GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF THE, OF THE CHALLENGES, CHALLENGES THAT WE'RE FACING HERE, UH, IT'S LIKELY THAT MANY BUSINESSES WON'T SURVIVE. 
          AND THAT'S JUST A REALITY. 
          AND ONE OF THE REASONS WE, WE PARTNER WITH A LIFT FUND IS BECAUSE THEY DO VET BUSINESSES TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY THAT THEY HAVE TO SURVIVE. 
          AND THE FUNDING THEY PROVIDE IS GEARED TOWARDS THAT. 
          UH, WE, WE CONTEMPLATED THE IDEA OF A GRANT TO TRY TO PROVIDE JUST FUNDING FOR, FOR, FOR BUSINESSES. 
          UM, BUT PART OF WHAT WE WERE ATTEMPTING TO DO WAS TO TRY TO REACH THOSE BUSINESSES THAT HAVE A CHANCE TO SURVIVE, THAT ARE HAVING LIQUIDITY ISSUES SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO SURVIVE. 
          SO THEY CONTINUE TO KEEP PEOPLE EMPLOYED. 
          AND THAT WAS THE APPROACH TO THAT. 
          WE CERTAINLY CAN VISIT WITH LIFT FUND ABOUT WHAT THEIR CRITERIA IS. 
          THIS IS A UNIQUE 
          [02:10:01]
CIRCUMSTANCE, SO PERHAPS WE CAN DO SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE CREATIVE THERE. 
          WE'LL WORK WITH THEM ON THAT, CERTAINLY. 
          UM, BUT THE VETTING IS AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF WHAT THEY DO BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GET REPAID, LIFT FUND SECURES FUNDING FROM A THIRD PARTY. 
          WE BUY DOWN OUR MONEY GOES TO BUY DOWN THE INTERESTS, SO THEY CAN MAKE THAT REALLY AFFORDABLE TO THE BUSINESSES THEY HAVE TO GET REPAID. 
          UH, THAT'S PART OF WHAT WE ASKED ABOUT, UH, DELAYING PAYMENTS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. 
          WE'RE LOOKING AT TWO MONTHS MAYBE AS FAR AS FOUR. 
          WE HAVE TO WORK WITH LIFT FUND ABOUT THAT. 
          UH, BUT WE'LL CERTAINLY VISIT WITH THEM ABOUT THAT. 
          COUNCIL, THANK YOU, CARLOS. 
          UM, ALSO THE, UH, I HAVE A QUE THIS MIGHT BE YOUR QUESTION. 
          I KNOW THAT YOU'VE DIRECTED, UM, REDIRECTED SOME SUPPORT STAFF FROM OTHER DEPARTMENTS, BUT THERE'S ALSO SOME DEPARTMENTS THAT DON'T REPORT TO YOU. 
          SO FOR INSTANCE, UM, THE JUDGES OR FOR INSTANCE, EVEN THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE, UM, HAVE THEY ALSO, I HAVEN'T HEARD OF A PLAN. 
          I KNOW THE CITY AUDITOR CONNECTED WITH THE AUDIT COMMITTEE AND SAID THAT HE WOULD BE WILLING TO COMMIT HIS FOLKS TO OTHER DEPARTMENTS. 
          CAN YOU TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THAT'S WORKING OUT AND, AND IF YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO USE THE ADDITIONAL HELP? UM, YES, MA'AM. 
          SO THE, UM, UH, THE MUNICIPAL COURT EMPLOYEES, UM, ARE, UM, UNDER THE PURVIEW OF THE CITY MANAGER. 
          AND WHILE OPERATIONS AT MUNICIPAL COURT HAVE BEEN, EITHER CASES HAVE BEEN RESET OR THEY'RE TRYING TO DO, UH, TO CONDUCT SOME BUSINESS BY PHONE OR, OR VIDEO, UM, UM, WE'RE WORKING WITH MUNICIPAL COURTS, UH, TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT WORK, BUT AT A, AT A DIFFERENT PACE BECAUSE THERE ISN'T AT PUBLIC INTERACTION. 
          UM, I KNOW THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE, UH, WHO ARE ALSO, UH, UH, CITY MANAGER RESPONSIBLE EMPLOYEES, UM, ARE, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM TO IDENTIFY AT THIS POINT, UM, HOW WE MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING IN MANY OF THEIR FUNCTIONS. 
          UM, AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CITY AUDITOR, BUT I'LL FOLLOW UP. 
          THANK YOU, ERIC. 
          UM, , WHY DON'T YOU TAKE, I TAKE THAT BACK. 
          UH, I, I'M JUST TRYING, NOT REMEMBERING. 
          I THINK WE'VE, WE'VE ALLOCATED CITY AUDITORS TO THE, UH, E O C, CORRECT? YEAH. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          I JUST REMEMBERED. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEAH, THANK YOU. 
          BECAUSE WE NEED, AND, AND THAT'S BEEN KIND OF A FUNCTION OF, OF BOTH FROM A, UH, SOME OF OUR FINANCE EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS OUR, AS OUR AUDITORS. 
          I MEAN, YOU CAN, UM, YOU CAN TELL FROM THE BREADTH OF WHICH WE WILL PROBABLY BE EXPENDING MONEY, TRACKING THAT MONEY, UH, AND MAKING SURE IT'S CATEGORIZED PROPERLY, UH, FOR, UH, EVENTUAL REIMBURSEMENT IS GONNA BE CRITICAL. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ERIC. 
          ALSO, UM, I WANTED TO, UH, THANK THE CITY COUNCIL AIDES, UH, WHO ARE PROBABLY AT HOME WATCHING. 
          AND THE AIDES, I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW IF YOU'RE NOT AWARE, TOOK IT UPON THEMSELVES TO CREATE THEIR OWN GROUPS. 
          SO THERE'S A COMMS WORK GROUPING TOGETHER. 
          THERE'S A POLICY GROUP WORKING TOGETHER. 
          THERE'S CHIEFS OF STAFF GROUP WORKING TOGETHER. 
          AND SO I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW CRITICAL THAT HAS BEEN. 
          UM, AND I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT THEM ON THEIR LEADERSHIP FOR THAT. 
          I KNOW THAT MY CHIEF OF STAFF HAS BEEN WORKING, UM, THROUGH ALL OF THE COUNCIL DISTRICTS, AGAIN, TO SHARE WHAT WE ARE DOING. 
          UH, AND EVERYBODY JUST HAS BEEN SO COLLABORATIVE. 
          SO EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T SEE THEM IN THE OFFICES, EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T SEE THEM RIGHT NOW IN THE AUDIENCE, I APPRECIATE THEIR WORK. 
          AND I JUST WANNA REITERATE HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE. 
          THEY ARE, UM, TO FUNCTIONING, UH, TO OUR CITY, FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, I ALSO JUST WANNA THANK THE LOCAL JOURNALISTS. 
          I THINK STILL YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN SO, UH, GOOD IN YOUR REPORTING. 
          YOU HAVE NOT SENSATIONALIZED ANYTHING. 
          YOU'VE BEEN REPORTING THE FACTS. 
          AND WE NEED YOU ALL TO CONTINUE JUST PUSHING OUT OUR MESSAGE TO FOLKS. 
          UM, THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          THANK YOU, ERIC. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THOSE ARE ALL MY QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER ROCHA GARCIA, COUNCIL MEMBER VERAN. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UM, I'M ON DAY 14 OF MYSELF, QUARANTINE, SO I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO END MY QUARANTINE TODAY TO STAY AT HOME FOR TOMORROW AND BEYOND. 
          UM, THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK. 
          I'M GONNA GO THROUGH THIS, UM, THROUGH THE POWERPOINT. 
          MY FIRST QUESTION IS UP FOR, UM, CHIEF HOOD ON THE SURGE MANAGEMENT RIGHT NOW. 
          I'M GLAD, UM, TO SEE THAT YOU ALL HAVE ALREADY BEEN PLANNING FOR THIS, HAVE WORKING TOGETHER. 
          UM, HOW ARE YOU COORDINATING, I'M SURE YOU ARE COORDINATING, BUT WHERE IS MAYBE OUR FORMER MILITARY DOCTORS AND, UM, THOSE WHO ARE LIVING HERE, ARE THEY PART OF MAYBE THE SEARCH CAPACITY IF WE NEED SOME MORE DOCTORS, ET CETERA, IN THE FUTURE? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, COUNCILWOMAN. 
          UM, IN OUR, IN OUR SEARCH PLAN, WE HAVE DIFFERENT PHASES. 
          AND SO WE ARE BASICALLY AT PHASE ONE RIGHT NOW WHERE WE'VE IDENTIFIED LOCATIONS. 
          WE'RE WORKING 
          [02:15:01]
ON THOSE STAFFING MECHANISMS. THERE COULD BE A CALL WE DISCUSS WITH THE MAYOR AND THE JUDGE YESTERDAY DOWN THE ROAD THAT WE DO MAKE THOSE CALLS OUT TO THOSE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS IN THIS CITY. 
          WE DON'T HAVE THAT NEED NOW, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT A PLAN TO WHERE WE COULD PUT THAT OUT. 
          UH, WE DON'T HAVE THE IT CAPABILITIES RIGHT NOW OF LOGGING ALL OF THOSE FOLKS AND PUTTING THEM IN PLACES. 
          BUT THE FIRST THING WE'RE DOING IN THE SURGE MANAGEMENT IS IDENTIFYING HOTELS, IDENTIFYING FOOTPRINTS OF WHERE WE COULD PUT HOSPITALS IF WE NEED TO, WHERE WE COULD MOVE, STEP DOWN PATIENTS. 
          AND THEN IF WE DO NEED THOSE MEDICAL RESOURCES AS FAR AS PERSONNEL, THEN WE WOULD REACH OUT. 
          SO THAT IS PART OF THE PLAN. 
          WE'RE JUST IN PHASE ONE RIGHT NOW. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UM, SLIDE NUMBER 14 ON THE HOTLINE INFORMATION. 
          I, I'D LIKE TO SEE THE NUMBERS, AND I THINK YOU'VE PRESENTED IT LAST WEEK, THE NUMBERS FROM WHERE WE FIRST STARTED WITH OUR HOTLINE TO WHERE WE ARE NOW. 
          UH, DO YOU HAVE, I DON'T HAVE THAT WITH ME TODAY, BUT I CAN PUT A TABLE TOGETHER EASILY FOR YOU AND GET THAT OUT. 
          THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          YEAH. 
          GREAT. 
          UH, NEXT ON SLIDE NUMBER 16, YOU WERE SAYING THAT THE RED IS THOSE THAT NEED TO GO GET A TEST, IS THAT CORRECT? WE'RE RECOMMENDED, YES. 
          WE'RE RECOMMENDED TO ENGAGE THEIR PROVIDER, UM, TO INQUIRE ABOUT A TEST. 
          OKAY. 
          IN SLIDE NUMBER 17, TEXAS MED CLINIC COMMUNICA, HOW MUCH ARE THEY CHARGING FOR THEIR TESTS? YEAH, SO THE PRESS RELEASE THAT CAME OUT FROM TEXAS MED WAS 125 A VISIT. 
          AND THEY DO ACCEPT ALL PAYER, BUT THAT'S THE OTHER REASON WHY COMMUNICATOR IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE AND COMPLIMENTARY TO THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YES. 
          UM, ON SLIDE NUMBER, I BELIEVE IT'S 18, YOU HAD, UM, ON THERE DENIED FOR NOT MEETING CRITERIA. 
          SLIDE NUMBER 17 0 17, WHICH ONE? SEVEN ONE. 
          SLIDE NUMBER 18 DENIED FOR NOT MEETING CRITERIA ON THE WEEK OF THE 24TH. 
          IT WAS 80 ON THE WEEK OF THE 25TH IT OR THE DATE 71. 
          SO WHAT DO WE DO WITH THOSE IS WHAT IF THEY ARE, UM, MAYBE THEY DON'T HAVE THE , BUT THEY HAVE A COUGH. 
          HOW ARE WE FOLLOWING UP WITH THEM? OR THEY JUST HAVE TO CALL BACK TO? YEAH, AND I KNOW, UM, SO THE 71 THAT YOU'RE MENTIONING, THE ONES WHO DO NOT MEET REQUIREMENT, UM, OR CRITERIA ARE THOSE THAT ARE NOT SYMPTOMATIC, RIGHT? LIKE THAT IS OUR, THAT'S OUR, OUR STANDARD TESTING CRITERIA IS THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE SYMPTOMS OR HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THOSE WHO HAVE HAD, UM, IS A PO OR A POSITIVE CASE OR HAVE TRAVELED, RIGHT? LIKE THAT'S THE STANDARD CRITERIA. 
          IF THEY DON'T MEET THAT, THEN THE PHYSICIANS THAT ARE ON THE LINE ARE SAYING, UM, THAT YOU'RE NOT, IT'S NOT ADVISED FOR YOU TO GET A TEST AT THAT TIME. 
          IT'S ACTUALLY NO DIFFERENT THAN OUR SCREENING TOOL THAT WE HAVE ON THE WEBSITE. 
          SO IT'S THE SAME SET OF QUESTIONS. 
          AND, UM, AND SO IF THEY'RE NOT MEETING THEIR CRITERIA FOR TESTING, THEN UM, WE, YOU KNOW, WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO CALL BACK IF THEY CERTAINLY DO FIND THAT THEY ARE DEVELOPING SOME OF THOSE SYMPTOMS SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE ALLOWED TO COME BACK. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, YOU MENTIONED THAT TCI, T C I D, BUT THERE'S NO ONE ELSE THERE RIGHT NOW, CORRECT. 
          IS T C I D GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE LOCATIONS OR SEARCH CAPACITY IF WE NEED IT? YEAH, GREAT QUESTION. 
          AND THAT HAS BEEN A PART OF THE MIX. 
          SO YES, WE HAVE TO GET THAT SPECIAL PERMISSION THAT IS A STATE BUILDING, SO WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE STATE AND ASK FOR PERMISSION. 
          BUT THAT IS ON OUR LIST FOR SURE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, OH, ONE OTHER QUESTION ON SLIDE 20. 
          YES. 
          WHERE WE KNOW WHERE THE POSITIVES ARE. 
          DO WE KNOW IF THEY WERE TRAVEL RELATED OR DO WE HAVE THAT KIND OF ? SO I DO HAVE THAT DATA. 
          WE CAN JUST DO A DIFFERENT COLOR CODE TO SHOW THAT POPPING ON THE MAP, BUT WE DO ABSOLUTELY HAVE THAT CATEGORY. 
          THAT'S A GREAT, THAT'S GREAT FEEDBACK. 
          I THINK THAT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD TO SEE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I THINK, I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD TOO, JUST SO WE KNOW, WHERE'S THE COMMUNITY SPREAD, HOW CAN WE BRING IT, UM, DOWN IF WE NEED TO. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          I DO WANT TO THANK, UM, OUR MAYOR AND OUR CITY MANAGER AND OUR JUDGE FOR WORKING 
          [02:20:01]
WITH ALL OF THE OTHER, UM, CITIES, THE BIG CITIES. 
          'CAUSE I THINK IT'S, WE CAN DO WHAT WE CAN HERE AT BEXAR COUNTY, BUT IF OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE AREN'T DOING IT, IT'S GOING TO BE, IT'S GONNA MAKE IT REALLY HARD WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO, UH, CURB THE SPREAD AND THE COMMUNITY SPREAD. 
          UM, MOVING ON TO SLIDE NUMBER, UH, 23, I THINK THE FAMILY'S FIRST CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE ACT. 
          UM, JEFF, I KNOW PART OF THE ISSUE WAS THE, UM, SOME OF THE FUNDING IS NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO GO TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT, UM, TO USE WITH THAT PAID SICK LEAVE. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? YES. 
          SO LET ME EXPLAIN. 
          SO THE, UM, THE FAMILY'S FIRST, UH, BILL, UH, REQUIRED THAT EMPLOYERS OF 500 OR LESS, UM, AS WELL AS GOVERNMENT EMPLOYERS PROVIDE, UM, TWO WEEKS OF PAID SICK LEAVE FOR SOMEBODY WHO NEEDS TO QUARANTINE OR, UH, SEEK TREATMENT. 
          UH, IT ALSO GRANTS, I BELIEVE, UP TO 10 WEEKS OF, UH, EMERGENCY FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE. 
          AND THAT BILL, UH, SOUGHT TO OFFSET THE COSTS OF THAT MANDATE TO EMPLOYERS BY OFFERING TAX CREDITS, PAYROLL TAX CREDITS FOR SOCIAL SECURITY AND SO FORTH. 
          UH, UNFORTUNATELY IT HAD A SPECIFIC EXEMPTION FOR GOVERNMENT EMPLOYERS. 
          SO IF YOU'RE A PRIVATE EMPLOYER REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THAT LEAVE TO EMPLOYEES, WHICH WE SUPPORT AND IS A GOOD THING, ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW, UM, YOU'RE ABLE TO OFFSET THOSE COSTS THROUGH THE TAX CREDITS, THE GOVERNMENT OR EMPLOYERS ARE NOT. 
          AND SO THERE IS A, A COORDINATED EFFORT, UH, IN THIS THIRD BILL IN THE STIMULUS, UH, THAT PASSED THE SENATE LAST NIGHT, TO TRY TO RECTIFY THAT, TO ELIMINATE THE, THE, UH, PROHIBITION AGAINST GOVERNMENT EMPLOYERS SEEKING THAT SAME, UH, TAX CREDIT. 
          AND IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SENATE VERSION THAT CAME OUT LAST NIGHT THAT COULD CHANGE AN EARLIER DRAFT OF THE HOUSE BILL DID HAVE, UH, THE CORRECTION THAT CITIES WANTED. 
          UM, BUT WE'LL SEE WHETHER THERE'S GONNA BE ANY, UH, NEGOTIATING OR CHANGING OF THIS BILL OR WHETHER THE HOUSE WILL SEEK TO JUST, UH, YOU KNOW, MOVE IT STRAIGHT THROUGH AS IT PASSED THE SENATE. 
          UM, SO I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION, COUNCILWOMAN. 
          IT DOES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THAT. 
          I KNOW, UM, THANK YOU, JEFF, YOUR TEAM, AND SALLY AND, UM, MANY PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN WORKING SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THIS MONEY GOING DIRECTLY TO, UM, CITIES. 
          UM, BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT IS IF THIS MONEY DOESN'T SAY IT'S STATED IN THE BILLS, THAT IT GOES DIRECTLY TO THE CITIES, THEN WE'RE AFRAID THAT HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR CITIES TO GET THEIR DOLLARS. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM, THANK YOU TO MY COLLEAGUES WHO'VE REACHED OUT TO OUR REPRESENTATIVES AS WELL, TO REMIND THEM TO NOT FORGET ABOUT THE CITIES THAT WE CAN GET THIS FUNDING DIRECTLY AS WELL. 
          AND I THINK WE'RE AT A, AT A DECENT PLACE RIGHT NOW TO THE POINT THAT, UH, CARLOS WAS MAKING ABOUT THE STABILIZATION FUND AND POSSIBLE REIMBURSEMENT. 
          I DO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT ALL THIS VIDEO CONFERENCING THAT WE'RE DOING. 
          WOULD THAT BE PART OF, UH, ABILITY TO GET REIMBURSED FROM THE, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OR THE STABILIZATION FUNDS? HOPEFULLY COUNCILWOMAN, I, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT IS. 
          I DON'T KNOW THE CRITERION OF, UH, ALL OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE INCLUDED. 
          CERTAINLY, UH, IT IS PART OF OUR PEG UH, FUNDING. 
          AND SO IF THERE'S ADDITIONAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH SETTING UP, UH, TELECOMMUNICATIONS OR VIDEO CONFERENCING, ET CETERA, THE EQUIPMENT EXPENSES WOULD BE PAYABLE OUT OF THE PEG FUNDING. 
          I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT. 
          AS I INDICATED, THERE'S LOT OF DEVILS IN THE DETAILS, BUT, UM, THE, WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS IT'S NOT DIRECT FUNDING TO CITIES. 
          IT'S NOT SUPPORT FOR CITIES, IT'S REIMBURSEMENT FOR EXPENSES. 
          RIGHT. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S REIMBURSEMENT. 
          AND WE'RE KEEPING OUR RUNNING TAB ON ALL OF OUR REIMBURSEMENTS. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SLIDE NUMBER, LET'S SEE. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS FOR THE STATE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE TO, IF WE CAN MAKE SURE, I DON'T KNOW, JEFF, IT'S, IF IT'S ON OUR BUSINESS COVID PAGE, IF WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THE COMPTROLLER INFORMATION ABOUT THE SALES TAX, IF WE HAVE THAT, UM, INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE SO WE CAN MAKE SURE TO SHARE THAT WITH OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL. 
          YOU'RE, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE, UH, THE, UH, SHORT-TERM PAYMENT PLANS AND THE WAIVER OF PENALTY? I'M FINE. 
          OKAY. 
          SURE. 
          WE CAN PUT THAT ON TODAY. 
          I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS ON OUR, OUR WEBSITE YET, BUT WE CAN DO THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND ALSO ON THAT SAME SLIDE, IT TALKS ABOUT THE, UH, GOVERNOR ISSUES, MULTIPLE WAIVERS OF STATE LAW. 
          [02:25:01]
DOES THAT INCLUDE, I KNOW THAT INCLUDES OPEN MEETINGS, YOU MENTIONED. 
          DOES THAT INCLUDE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETINGS? COUNCILWOMAN? I CAN ANSWER THAT. 
          UH, THE 'CAUSE AND IN FACT, I'M GLAD YOU ASKED THAT 'CAUSE THERE'S BEEN, UH, A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS TO WHAT EXACTLY THE GOVERNOR, UH, DID. 
          HE DIDN'T GIVE A BROAD EXEMPTION FOR OPEN MEETINGS AND CERTAINLY, UH, NOT FOR, UH, EXECUTIVE SESSIONS. 
          WHAT THEY DID IS THEY DID BROADEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONDUCT, UM, TELECONFERENCE OR VIDEO MEETINGS OF THE COUNCIL. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CITY ATTORNEY. 
          OKAY. 
          MOVING ON, UM, TO OUR SMALL BUSINESS UPDATE. 
          UH, THE QUESTION I HAVE IS FOR SLIDE 33 FOR THE, UM, THE 0% INTEREST LOAN. 
          I THINK IT'S SIMILAR TO WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER VICHE GARCIA WAS ASKING. 
          THE, UM, THE LOAN NEW BUSINESS, WILL THESE LOANS BE AVAILABLE WITH THE, THE CHANGES IN THE AMENDMENT? WOULD THESE BE FOR CURRENT PEOPLE WHO ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE LOAN PROGRAM? ARE THESE ALL FOR NEW MEMBERS? THE IDEA OF THIS, OH, SORRY. 
          DIDN'T MEAN TO CUT YOU OFF, I APOLOGIZE. 
          THE IDEA WOULD BE FOR NEW APPLICANTS WHO HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE LOAN, UH, TO BE ABLE TO AVAIL THEMSELVES TO THESE AS WELL. 
          WE THINK WE CAN DO CLOSE TO 50 LOANS, UH, UP TO $15,000 IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. 
          AND THIS COULD BE FOR ANYTHING OPERATION PAYROLL. 
          YES. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE THAT THERE, THAT PAUL HAD THERE, THAT 150,000 CLAIMS FOR THE WEEKLY, CAN WE JUST GET THAT UPDATE ON A WEEKLY BASIS? 'CAUSE YOU'RE GETTING IT, GET THAT AS WELL? YES MA'AM. 
          HAPPY TO PROVIDE THAT TO YOU. 
          OKAY, THANK YOU. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          NOW FOR MARIA. 
          UM, TO COUNCILMAN POINT, I WOULD LIKE WHERE WE ARE WITH OUR EXPENSES, WE ALREADY, UM, USED IN OUR F Y 20 AND WITH POTENTIAL IMPACT OF, WHAT WAS IT, A HUNDRED TEN EIGHT MILLION IMPACT. 
          I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT OUR BUDGET LOOK LIKE, PLEASE. 
          OKAY. 
          COUNCILWOMAN, IF, IF I, UM, UNDERSTOOD YOUR QUESTION 'CAUSE WE WERE HAVING SOME, UH, TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, YOU WANNA SEE THE TOTAL, UM, REVENUE FOR EACH OF THE LINE ITEMS THAT I PRESENTED AS REQUESTED BY COUNCILMAN PERRY AND ALSO THE, UH, EXPENDITURE BUDGET FOR THOSE FUNDS AS WELL? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          WE'LL GET THAT TO YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I'M NOT DONE TALKING. 
          OH, SORRY. 
          SO ON SLIDE 38, MARIA, THIS IS A POSSIBLE REIMBURSEMENT SO FAR. 
          JUST MARCH 21, WHAT WE'RE GONNA REQUEST. 
          CORRECT. 
          SO WE HAVE AUTHORIZED EXPENSES OF ABOUT $2.8 MILLION AND, UH, WE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF A GRANT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE HEALTH SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF 2.1. 
          SO NOT ALL THE EXPENSES, UH, OF THE 2.8 WILL BE REIMBURSED, BUT WE ANTICIPATE A MAJORITY OF THOSE, UH, WILL BE REIMBURSED THROUGH THIS GRANT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, ANDY, COULD YOU PLEASE REITERATE, UM, EVICTIONS AND HOW, IF YOU ARE MAYBE ELDERLY OR SOMEBODY WHO IS BEING ABUSED, THAT THERE ARE STILL WAYS THAT EVICTIONS CAN HAPPEN? UM, YES. 
          COUNCILWOMAN, THE, THE COUNTY IN THEIR ORDER, UM, BECAUSE IT'S COUNTY PROCESSES THAT ARE USED 
          [02:30:01]
FOR EVICTION, DID PUT A SUSPENSION ON THAT FOR 30 DAYS. 
          UM, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE DA AND HE CONFIRMED THAT IN THE, UH, VIDEO CONFERENCE WE HELD RECENTLY, THAT, UH, WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY, WHEN IT COMES TO, YOU KNOW, FAMILY VIOLENCE OR OTHER VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, UH, OBVIOUSLY THAT THAT PROCESS IS STILL AVAILABLE. 
          THANK YOU, ERIC. 
          UM, WHAT NUMBER OF DEPARTMENTS ARE STILL, OR DO WE HAVE ANY DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE STILL OPERATING AT 100%? NOT NECESSARILY GOING IN, BUT STILL OPERATING AT 100%? THAT MAKES SENSE. 
          100% OF NORMAL OPERATIONS. 
          UM, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, UM, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT LEMME SET ASIDE BECAUSE THEY'RE, THEY'RE PROBABLY AT 110% RIGHT NOW. 
          UM, WE HAVE, UM, UH, 1,145 EMPLOYEES WHO ARE NOT TELECOMMUTING AND ARE STILL, UM, COMING TO WORK. 
          UM, THAT GROUP OF EMPLOYEES AND BY DEPARTMENTS HAVE BEEN, UH, CATEGORIZED INTO, UH, FURTHER INTO FOUR DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. 
          THEM, THOSE THAT, UM, DON'T NEED TO COME TO WORK BECAUSE THERE IS NO WORK BECAUSE OF SOME FUNCTION OR CLOSURE OR, UM, WE HAVE, UH, ABOUT 150 OF THOSE EMPLOYEES WHO COULD FURTHER TELECOMMUTE ON TOP OF THE 1200 THAT ARE CURRENTLY TELECOMMUTING. 
          UM, AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE, UH, EMPLOYEES, UM, ARE GONNA CONTINUE TO COME TO WORK WHEN WE'RE MAINTAINING SOCIAL DISTANCING, UM, SIGNAL, UH, TRAFFIC SIGNAL TECHNICIANS, UH, CODE CODE OFFICERS, UH, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, UM, AS FROM A BUILDING PERMIT AND PLAN REVIEW STANDPOINT HAS DECREASED SLIGHTLY, BUT, BUT WORK IS STILL CONTINUING. 
          AND SO D S D IS, UH, FACILITATING THAT BECAUSE BUSINESS GOES ON. 
          UM, BUT, BUT I WOULD SAY THAT PROBABLY EVERY DEPARTMENT IS IMPACTED, UM, UH, A BIT, SOME MORE THAN OTHERS. 
          UM, AND, AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO REFINE THAT, UH, OVERALL. 
          OKAY. 
          YOU KNOW, UM, ERIC IN COUNCILWOMAN CHE GARCIA, C C R, SHE MENTIONED, UM, IN THERE ABOUT TEMPORARY CASEWORKERS FOR THOSE WHO MAYBE NEED SOME ASSISTANCE. 
          AND IN THERE SHE ALSO MENTIONED ABOUT HAVING CASEWORKERS WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO MAYBE NEED, UM, DIFFERENT LOANS OR MAYBE ASSISTANCE FOR RENTAL OR ASSISTANCE FOR, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, UTILITY HELP. 
          I'M WONDERING, IS THERE A WAY, OR I DON'T KNOW, YOU MAY HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS, SIMILAR TO OUR TESTING TOOL FOR C OVID 19, IS THERE A WAY THAT WE COULD PUT TOGETHER A LINK, UM, A SURVEY THAT SAYS, THAT SAYS, ARE YOU DOING THIS? IS, IS ARE YOU NEEDING THIS? ARE YOU NEEDING THIS? AND WE CAN MATCH THEM UP WITH THE PROVIDER THAT WE NEED. 
          MAYBE NOT JUST ON, UM, THE HOTLINE, BUT IF THERE IS A TOOL THAT WE CAN PUT ONLINE, UH, SIMILAR TO OUR SCREEN TESTING TOOL FOR C OVID 19, MAYBE YOU HAVE THAT, MAYBE YOU DON'T. 
          DO YOU KNOW, UH, COUNCILWOMAN, THIS IS JEFF. 
          UM, UNITED WAYS, UH, 2 1 1 LINE IS SERVING AS THE CLEARINGHOUSE FOR ALL SOCIAL SERVICE RELATED REQUESTS. 
          SO IF SOMEONE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE THEY NEED TO GO, SUCH AS THE FOOD BANK OR SOMETHING SPECIFICALLY, THEY CAN CALL THAT NUMBER AND UNITED WAY WILL, WILL ROUTE THEM TO THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE PROVIDER. 
          BUT WHAT IF THEY NEED MORE THAN ONE SERVICE PROVIDER? I'M SORRY. 
          OKAY. 
          IF THEY NEED MORE THAN ONE SERVICE PROVIDER, I, I IMAGINE THE, THE 2 1 1 LINE WILL HELP THEM. 
          I DON'T THINK IT'S LIMITED TO ONE REQUEST, BUT, BUT THAT'S WHO, UM, THEY, UNITED WAY HAS FOLKS POSITIONED DOWN AT THE E O C, UH, WITH US. 
          AND, AND, UH, THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHERE WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO, TO DIRECT, UH, REQUESTS FOR SOCIAL SERVICES. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, MARIA, AS WE'RE LOOKING AT RECOVERY MOVING FORWARD AND IZATION, WHAT I'D LOVE TO BE TO SEE, UM, IS ALL THE  OF WHAT WE ARE AT THE CITY NOW TO ALLEVIATE OR OFFSET, UM, SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT OUR RESIDENTS OR OUR PARTNERS ARE HAVING. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, UM, LATA, UH, THE TENANTS AT 
          [02:35:01]
LATA, NOT HAVING TO PAY FOR X AMOUNT OF MONTHS. 
          ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE'RE ALREADY DOING AT A CITY AS A CITY. 
          I'D LOVE TO BE ABLE TO GET A LIST OF THOSE SO WE CAN LOOK AT IT COMPREHENSIVELY AND SEE WHAT WE ARE ALREADY DOING AND WHAT WE NEED TO PLAN FOR IN THE FUTURE. 
          WELL, WE'LL DO THAT COUNCILWOMAN. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          AND THEN ALSO WITH OUR FOLLOW-UP, UM, I STILL KEEP GETTING CALLS INTO MY OFFICE ABOUT THAT EMPLOYEES ARE HAVING, WITH CALL CENTERS ARE NOT ABIDING BY, UM, SOCIAL DISTANCING ORDERS. 
          EVEN TODAY, WE'RE GETTING, UM, CALLS PEOPLE WHO ARE CONCERNED THAT THEY ARE, UM, NOT PRACTICING SOCIAL DISTANCING. 
          SO WHAT CAN WE CONTINUE TO DO TO HELP ALLEVIATE THIS ANXIETY THAT PEOPLE GOING TO WORK ARE NOT EVEN PROTECTED THEMSELVES? COUNSEL, SPECIFICALLY ON THE CALL CENTERS, I'VE BEEN TO OUR PSAP INTO OUR QUARTER ROOM FACILITY, AND WE ARE MAINTAINING THAT SELF DISTANCING. 
          UM, AND I THINK, I'M SORRY, UH, COUNCILWOMAN, UH, THIS IS ROB. 
          UH, WE, WE HAVE BEEN OUT TO, UH, A NUMBER OF CALL CENTERS. 
          UM, AND, AND WHAT WE'RE DOING WHEN WE, WE FIND A VIOLATION IS, IS WE EDUCATE THEM ON SOCIAL DISTANCING, UH, ALL CALL CENTERS WHERE WE'VE HAD, UH, VIOLATIONS OR CALLS. 
          WE'VE EITHER FOUND NO VIOLATIONS WHEN WE GET THERE OR WHEN WE GET THERE AND WE EDUCATE THEM. 
          THEY, THEY COOPERATE AND, AND, AND THEY SOCIAL DISTANCE AND THEY DO WHAT THEY NEED TO. 
          SO AS OF TODAY, WE HAVE NOT HAD TO ISSUE ANY CITATIONS. 
          OKAY. 
          AND WILL YOU DO FOLLOW UP IF YOU CONTINUE TO GET ANOTHER CALL? ABSOLUTELY. 
          UH, IF WE GET ANOTHER CALL, WE'LL, WE'LL GO OUT AND WE'LL TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. 
          UH, AND ONCE AGAIN, IF WE FIND A VIOLATION, WE'LL WE WILL EDUCATE. 
          UH, WE ALWAYS HAVE THE ABILITY TO ISSUE A CITATION IF, IF, IF WE, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T COOPERATE WITH US. 
          UH, BUT FORTUNATELY EVERYBODY'S BEEN COOPERATIVE TO THIS POINT. 
          THANK YOU, ROD. 
          ANDY, I NEED CLARIFICATION THEN ON THIS EXTENSION FROM, UM, I BELIEVE IT'S SEVEN DAYS FOR WHAT THE MAYOR'S FIFTH DECLARATION IS TO GO NOW UNTIL APRIL 9TH. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. 
          COUNCILWOMAN, THE, UH, WHAT'S BEFORE THE COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION TODAY IS WHERE TO THE EXTEND THE, UH, MAYOR'S NEW EMERGENCY DECLARATION TO APRIL 9TH. 
          SO WHAT ABOUT THE DECLARATION WE PASSED LAST WEEK THAT WENT FOR 30 DAYS? AND, AND THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. 
          'CAUSE UM, I, I DO WANNA CLARIFY THAT AS WELL. 
          THE NEW DECLARATION SUPERSEDED THAT PREVIOUS DECLARATION, WHICH IS WHY THE COUNCIL IS CONSIDERING EXTENDING THE NEW DECLARATION TODAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEN THE 30 DAYS IS NOT UP ANYMORE. 
          I MEAN, THE 30 DAYS DOESN'T COUNT. 
          IT'S ONLY APRIL 3RD. 
          APRIL 9TH. 
          THAT IS CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. 
          BUT AS WE CONTINUE TO MEET AS A COUNCIL, WE'LL STILL HAVE THAT CONSIDERATION MOVING FORWARD. 
          WE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE THAT CORRECT. 
          THAT THAT IS CORRECT. 
          THE COUNCIL CAN, UH, UH, DECIDE TO EXTEND IT EVEN FURTHER AS, AS YOU MEET. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. 
          UM, ERIC, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK, YOUR TEAM, UH, DAWN, EVERYBODY INVOLVED DAY IN AND DAY OUT, UM, TO OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, EVERYONE AND EVERYBODY WORKING AT THE GROCERY STORE, ALL OF THE SMALL BUSINESSES WHO ARE BEING CREATIVE. 
          AND, UM, I WANNA SPECIFICALLY THANK THE TEACHERS OF HILLCREST ELEMENTARY WHO DID A PARADE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD YESTERDAY FOR THE KIDS. 
          AND I ALSO, I ALSO WANT TO THANK, UM, CHEF TU RA FROM FOLKLORES COFFEE HOUSE, WHO HAS OUT OF HIS OWN, UH, WORK AND POCKET BEEN DELIVERING FOOD TO SENIORS IN THE AREA. 
          THANK HIM. 
          IT SHOWS THE HEART AND THE, THE STRENGTH OF SAN ANTONIO AND TO THE MAYOR'S POINT, AND I SAW THIS ON, I THINK THE S A P D MAILER, UH, THE MORE PEOPLE GO OUT, THE LONGER WE ALL STAY IN. 
          SO PLEASE STAY HOME SO WE CAN ALL GET OUT TOGETHER. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER GRO. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER ANDREWS SULLIVAN. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UM, FIRST AND FOREMOST, TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, TO OUR MAYOR, TO OUR, OUR CITY MANAGER, OUR CITY ATTORNEYS, UM, TO ALL OF OUR CITY STAFF. 
          UM, YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN SO GREAT 
          [02:40:01]
AT COMMUNICATING WITH US CONSTANTLY, THE THINGS THAT ARE CHANGING ON AN HOURLY AND CONSISTENT BASIS. 
          SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR KEEPING US AS A COUNCIL INFORMED. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR, FOR ACTUALLY, UM, MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THE INFORMATION BEFOREHAND. 
          I KNOW WHEN WE GOT THE EMAIL ABOUT THE DRAFT OF THE ORDINANCE, IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND WE WERE ABLE TO ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE, UM, THE OFFICIAL DRAFT, UH, WENT INTO PLACE. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR BEING VERY OPEN, UM, VERY HONEST WITH HOW YOU'RE FEELING ABOUT THE DECISIONS WE ARE MAKING HERE ON, UH, CITY COUNCIL, UM, FOR THE SAFETY OF YOUR FAMILIES. 
          WE KNOW THAT THIS IS A VERY HARD TIME, UM, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE GOING IN THIS THIS TIME. 
          AND KNOWING THAT WE HAVE A COMMUNITY THAT IS OPEN TO LISTENING TO TAKING HEED TO THE PRECAUTIONS REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE FOR WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE ON COUNCIL. 
          UM, I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO HOW WE'RE COORDINATING SOME OF THE SUPPLIES THAT WE'RE, WE'RE LOOKING FOR WITH OUR DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT COMPANIES THAT WE HAVE HERE WITHIN OUR CITY. 
          UM, IF ANYONE CAN, CAN ANSWER WHAT WE'RE DOING IN COORDINATION WITH THAT. 
          UM, COUNCILMAN, WHAT TYPE OF SUPPLIES? DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT COMPANIES. 
          SO, UM, WE HAVE SEVERAL HERE WITHIN THE CITY, UM, THAT I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE COORDINATED ANY KIND OF, NO, NO, WE HAVEN'T. 
          UM, BUT THAT WOULD BE CHIEF AND I WILL WORK ON THAT. 
          I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT QUESTION FOR STRAC TO SEE. 
          UM, NO, WE HAVE NOT DONE THAT. 
          IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. 
          OKAY. 
          AWESOME. 
          AND THEN, UM, WHEN IT RELATES TO JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO, I KNOW WE HAVE, UM, FORT SAM HOUSTON, THEY HAVE A LOT OF THE, THE MASH UNIT AND MASH TRAINING, UM, FACILITIES. 
          ARE WE COORDINATING WHEN WE ARE LOOKING AT SPACES, HOW THEY CAN HELP SET UP MAYBE FIELD TRIAGE? UM, WITHIN THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO? UH, COUNCILMAN, WE HAVE, UH, WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE OF, UH, JOINT BASED SAN ANTONIO THAT'S, UH, EMBEDDED IN OUR E O C. 
          UM, SETTING UP SOMETHING ON A GOVERNMENT FACILITY WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE WHAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING FOR. 
          UH, WE'RE LOOKING TO COORDINATE STATE MEDICAL ASSETS THAT WE WOULD HAVE STAFFED, UH, IN LOCATIONS, BUT NOT NECESSARILY ON A MILITARY BASE. 
          SO EVEN, UM, AT THE APPROVED TESTING SITE, IF WE HAVE TO GO INTO CRITICAL CALL, IF, IF MESH OUR TRIAGE UNITS, WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT STAGING UNITS, THE STATE, UM, OR THE COUNTY? UH, FAIRGROUNDS IS OUR FOOTPRINT. 
          IT'S OUR FOOTPRINT FOR TESTING. 
          IT IS OUR FOOTPRINT FOR, UH, BUILDING OTHER FACILITIES. 
          IT'S SECURE. 
          WE CAN LOCK IT DOWN. 
          WE HAVE GREAT INGRESS AND EGRESS TO THAT LOCATION, SO WE COULD BUILD THAT OUT. 
          AND THAT IS OUR PLAN. 
          IF WE HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT, THAT'S OUR NUMBER ONE LOCATION. 
          AWESOME. 
          BECAUSE THAT LEADS ME TO MY NEXT QUESTION. 
          WHEN IT COMES TO HOW ARE WE COMMUNICATING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS SURROUNDING, UM, THE FREEMAN COLISEUM AREA? I KNOW THOSE ARE MOST OF THE QUESTIONS THAT MY OFFICE IS, IS RECEIVING. 
          UM, HOW SAFE IS IT FOR THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT ARE LIVING AROUND THAT AREA? WHAT SHOULD THEY BE EXPECTING? HOW IS TRAFFIC GONNA BE AFFECTED? UM, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 
          UH, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COORDINATE WITH YOUR OFFICE, UH, AS FAR AS WHAT'S GOING ON, THAT THAT CENTER IS, IS SAFE. 
          UH, AND SO ANY OF THOSE QUESTIONS WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE OUTREACH WITH YOU. 
          UH, TRAFFIC IS BEING CONTROLLED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, SO, UM, A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT, IF WE HAVE TO BUILD OUT, THAT IS A PERFECT LOCATION FOR US. 
          SO WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE DO A BETTER JOB OF, OF REACHING TO YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          AWESOME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, I KNOW THAT WE'VE ANSWERED THE QUESTION ABOUT THE UNEMPLOYMENT HOTLINE. 
          THAT IS THE OTHER ONE THAT, UM, THE SERVER IS JUST OVERWHELMED. 
          AND SO A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT THEY SUBMITTED THEIR APPLICATIONS THAT WAS NEVER RECEIVED. 
          AND SO HOW WE HANDLING THAT SURGE AND WHAT ARE WE DOING TO TAKE, UM, THE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS THAT IF THE SYSTEM ACTUALLY CRASHES, WHAT IS THE NEXT METHOD TO ENSURE UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS ARE RECEIVED? COUNCILMAN, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. 
          UH, AS I INDICATED THAT THE T W C WEBSITE WASN'T EQUIPPED FOR THE VOLUME THAT THEY HAVE, I KNOW THEY'RE WORKING ON THAT NOW. 
          PART OF WHAT THEY'VE ASKED TO DO IS THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO THE WEBSITE FOR THAT ARE QUESTION RELATED. 
          SO THEY'VE ASKED THE CITIES AND ALL CITIES ACROSS THE, THE STATE TO TRY TO TAKE SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS. 
          THEY'RE GONNA PROVIDE US CONTENT THAT WE CAN UTILIZE AND PUT ON OUR WEBSITE, 
          [02:45:01]
FOR EXAMPLE, THAT MIGHT REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE TRYING TO GET ACCESS TO THE T W D C SO THAT TRUE CLAIMS CAN GET PROCESSED THROUGH THERE. 
          UH, WE'RE ALSO TALKING WITH G P A AND OTHERS ABOUT MAYBE DOING A VIDEO OF SOME KIND THAT WE CAN DO TO, TO DO FAQS AND TRY TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLKS HAVE. 
          BUT IT'S, IT'S SOMETHING THEY'RE STRUGGLING WITH AND THEY'LL, THEY'LL HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL HAVE TO MAKE UP, THEY'LL HAVE TO MAKE UP THE, THE EQUIPMENT THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. 
          AWESOME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          CARLOS. 
          UM, WHEN IT COMES TO WORKING WITH THE TEXAS VETERANS COMMISSION OR THE D A V, UM, FOR OUR EFFECTIVE VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES, DO WE KNOW WHAT THE COMMUNICATION, OUR OUTREACH HAS BEEN FOR THOSE AGENCIES? I DON'T KNOW A, A A TON TO YOUR ANSWER. 
          I'LL SAY THERE'S A VETERAN'S, UH, TAB ON OUR HOMEPAGE. 
          I'LL GO VISIT IT RIGHT NOW AND MAKE SURE I'M FRESH UP TO SPEED ON IT. 
          BUT, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING DEDICATED FOR THEM. 
          OKAY. 
          AWESOME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, I KNOW THAT THE RED CROSS STARTED DEPLOYING THEIR HOSPITAL, UM, FACILITIES AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UM, UNITS AND, AND STAGING. 
          UM, HAS THERE BEEN ANY COORDINATION, I KNOW AT THE E O C WITH THE RED CROSS AND, AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE? IF WE ARE INUNDATED, DO WE NOW HAVE CAPABILITY OF AIRLIFTING OR, OR TRANSPORTING, UM, OUR ABUNDANCE OVER TO THOSE RED CROSS FACILITIES THAT ARE BEING DEPLOYED? DEPLOYED? MM-HMM. 
          . 
          UM, WE, WE HAVE A RED CROSS PERSON ALSO IN OUR E O C, AND SO THEY'RE PART OF THOSE DECISIONS, UM, IF WE NEED THEM. 
          BUT AGAIN, EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, WE'RE DOING IT IN PHASES. 
          WE'RE BUILDING OUT THE COUNTY RIGHT NOW AND, AND HOPEFULLY THAT IS GONNA BE ENOUGH FOR US. 
          BUT THE RED CROSS IS PART OF OUR PLANNING. 
          OKAY, AWESOME. 
          UM, CARLOS, WHEN IT COMES TO SMALL BUSINESSES, I KNOW THAT, UM, THIS MORNING THERE WAS A REPORT THAT SOME OF THE LOCAL LANDLORDS ARE, UM, HELPING THESE BUSINESSES WITH RENT ABATEMENTS. 
          HAVE WE ACTUALLY SET OUT, UM, A CALL OF ACTION FOR THE OTHER LANDLORDS TO SEE WHAT KIND OF STEPS THEY CAN TAKE FOR OUR SMALLER BUSINESSES TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE A PLACE TO COME BACK TO CHAIR? COUNCILMAN? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION, LORI. 
          UH, HOUSTON, AND I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT JUST THAT IS REACHING OUT TO LANDLORDS TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE'S, UH, IN THE CONTEXT OF RENTAL ASSISTANCE, UM, TALKING SPECIFICALLY FOR INDIVIDUALS, BUT IN THE CONTEXT OF RENTAL ASSISTANCE, WORKING WITH LANDLORDS TO SEE IF WE COULD SORT OF SHARE IN THAT EXPENSE. 
          AND THEN WE'VE TALKED ABOUT COULD WE DO SOMETHING SIMILARLY FOR, FOR BUSINESSES AS WELL. 
          WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING SPECIFIC IN PLAN YET, BUT WE'RE WORKING ON THAT. 
          AWESOME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, SO YES, OF COURSE. 
          UM, WITH MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUE. 
          UM, THE QUESTION ABOUT THE CALL CENTERS, UM, UNIFORM DELIVERY DRIVERS, THOSE THAT PICK UP UNIFORMS FROM THESE BUSINESSES THAT HAVE OVER 230 PEOPLE, THEY'RE PICKING UP UNIFORMS. THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THE UNIFORMS HAVE BEEN, WHO'S BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THESE UNIFORMS? SO THE, THEY'RE STILL QUESTIONING, UM, THE SAFETY OF THEIR BUSINESS AS WELL. 
          SO DO WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING ABOUT THOSE SPECIFIC ENTITIES? I KNOW, UM, MY DAUGHTER WORKS AT A CALL CENTER AND SHE CALLS ME EVERY DAY BECAUSE SHE'S LIKE, MOM, THEY'RE NOT EVEN CLOSELY DOING ANYTHING THAT YOU GUYS ARE ASKING THEM TO DO. 
          UM, SO WHAT OTHER STEPS CAN WE TAKE TO ENSURE THAT THOSE THAT ARE, UM, IN THESE INDUSTRIES ARE, ARE WELL PREPARED AND TAKEN CARE OF? COUNCILWOMAN, SPECIFICALLY ABOUT CALL CENTERS, WHAT WE'VE TRIED TO DO IS EDUCATE. 
          SO WE PROVIDED, UH, TO THE CALL CENTERS THAT WE'VE HAD CONTACT WITH AT E D D, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT HAS ACTUALLY HAD RELATIONSHIPS WITH TO SHARE THE C D C GUIDELINES TO SHARE THE FIFTH DECLARATION THAT THE MAYOR SIGNED, MANDATING SOCIAL DISTANCING, UH, TO EMPHASIZE THE C D C GUIDELINES ABOUT CLEANLINESS AND WASHING OF HANDS AND DISTANCING. 
          UM, G P A HAS SHARED THE SAME INFORMATION WITH THE CHAMBERS, AND WE'RE PROVIDING THAT, WE PROVIDED IT TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION AS WELL, SO THEY CAN PROVIDE IT TO THEIR LIST OF FOLKS. 
          SO IT'S EDUCATION PRIMARILY. 
          UH, CODE ENFORCEMENT WILL RECEIVE CALLS FROM 3 1 1, THEY'LL GO OUT AND EDUCATE FURTHER. 
          UH, SO IT'S, IT'S SIMPLY AN EDUCATION PIECE IS WHAT WE, WE CAN DO TO THE EXTENT THAT WE HAVE REFUSAL TO COOPERATE, THEN THERE ARE OTHER STEPS THAT THE CITY HAS TO BE ABLE TO MANDATE THAT. 
          AWESOME. 
          UM, I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY STUDENTS THAT ARE, ARE NOW, UM, DOING A LOT OF ONLINE STUDIES, BUT THEY'RE NOT IN THEIR ROLES OF BEING ABLE TO, UM, HAVE THE ECONOMIC INCOME THAT THEY NEED TO CONTINUE TO, TO BE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO BE 
          [02:50:01]
STABLE. 
          UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED IS A CALL OF ACTION FOR OUR UNIVERSITIES STATE AND PRIVATE TO WAIVE THE RENT REQUIREMENTS FOR DORMITORIES AND, AND DIFFERENT OFFSITE UM, FACILITIES FOR OUR COLLEGE STUDENTS. 
          DO WE KNOW IF THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN IN PLACE WITH OUR RENTAL, UM, COMMUNICATIONS AND HOW THAT WORKS FOR OUR COLLEGE STUDENTS? NO, MA'AM. 
          AND I THINK, UH, THE COUNCILMAN PLYS WILL PROBABLY TALK ABOUT THIS AS WELL. 
          'CAUSE HE SENT A LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR, UH, EARLIER IN THE WEEK. 
          AND, UM, UH, WE HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING, AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN FOLLOW UP ON. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, ALSO, UM, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE ONLINE SELF-REPORTING, UM, AND AGAIN TO, UH, COUNCILWOMAN VERDER GRAND'S QUESTION, WHEN IT COMES TO RETIRED PHYSICIANS, UM, A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE KNOW DON'T HAVE, UM, INSURANCE OR DON'T HAVE A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN, IS THERE A WAY THAT ON OUR LINK WE CAN MAYBE HAVE A TELECONFERENCE PHYSICIAN THAT CAN, UH, COMMUNICATE SOME OF THE CONCERNS OR ANSWER SOME OF THE QUESTIONS VIA THE SELF-REPORTING LINK AS WELL? I THINK THAT, I THINK, I THINK THAT'S POSSIBLE. 
          UM, WE ARE PUTTING TOGETHER A PRETTY ROBUST PROVIDER OUTREACH AND COMMUNICATION STRATEGY, AND THAT COULD DEFINITELY BE ONE OF OUR STRATEGIES. 
          OKAY. 
          AWESOME. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, THE LAST QUESTION THAT I I'M GONNA ASK IS IN REFERENCE TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY DIAGNOSED, UM, CONSIDERED TREATED, HAVE BEEN RELEASED, HAVE WE HAD ANY FOLLOW UP TO SEE IF THEIR SYMPTOMS HAVE COME BACK, UM, WHAT THEIR STATUS IS AS FAR AS, UM, AFTER, UH, THE 14 DAYS OF EITHER QUARANTINE OR, OR TREATMENT? OR HAVE WE DONE ANY FOLLOW UP WITH THOSE PREVIOUSLY DIAGNOSED? UH, THE SHORT ANSWER TO THAT IS NO. 
          THE LONG ANSWER TO THAT IS, IS THAT WE WANT TO TRY AND IF YOU NOTICE IN OUR, IN OUR DATA THAT WE SEND TO YOU EACH DAY, IT HAS DOWN THERE IT SAYS RECOVERED. 
          SO THAT IS OUR INTENT BECAUSE WE THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT. 
          YOU CAN RECOVER FROM THIS. 
          AND SO WE WANNA BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT CONTRAST TO OUR DEATH RATE. 
          SO LONG TERM, YES, SHORT TERM, WE HAVEN'T STARTED. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE DON'T KNOW OF ANYONE WHO'S BEEN CONSIDERED RECOVERED AND THEN GONE BACK INTO ACTIVE STATUS? NO. 
          AND THE ONLY ONES THAT WE WOULD KNOW ARE THE ONES THAT, UM, HAVE GOTTEN TESTED. 
          RIGHT? THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD, HAD THE DISEASE, YOU KNOW, THE VIRUS AND NEVER SAW BECAUSE THEY HAD MILD SYMPTOMS, THEY NEVER GOT A TEST, THEY NEVER WENT TO THE DOCTOR. 
          WE WILL NEVER CATCH THOSE. 
          IT'S THOSE THAT HAVE COME THROUGH THE LAB PROCESS WHO HAVE DETERMINED TO BE POSITIVE. 
          WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION. 
          AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S ONE THAT WE COULD FOLLOW UP ON. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YOU'RE WELCOME. 
          UM, GROUP HOMES AND, AND CARE FACILITIES, UM, DO WE KNOW HOW THEY'RE BEING MONITORED IF THEY'RE UNABLE TO GET OUT TO GET TESTING OR, OR THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO, TO KIND OF CARPOOL ANYMORE TOGETHER TO GET OUT, UM, TO DIFFERENT AREAS? SO DO WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH GROUP HOMES AND, AND CARE CARE HOMES, GROUP HOMES, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO MONITOR? CHIEF, YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT THE PRE THE, THE, UH, PROACTIVE VISITS THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DID? YES, COUNCILWOMAN, WE WERE, UH, EXTREMELY PROACTIVE SEVERAL WEEKS AGO BEFORE A, A LOT OF PLACES AROUND THE NATION AS FAR AS SENDING OUT INFORMATION. 
          WE HAD ALL OF OUR FIRE COMPANIES VISIT EACH NURSING HOME CARE FACILITY. 
          WE ALSO TRIED TO IDENTIFY BOARDING HOMES AND WORKING THROUGH LAW ENFORCEMENT, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, IDENTIFYING THOSE HOMES THAT MAY BE A PSEUDO NURSING HOME GROUP HOME, WHICH WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY INTEL ON THOSE. 
          SO INFORMATION WAS SENT OUT TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE AS FAR AS ISOLATING, MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE INTEL AS FAR AS WHO'S BEING TRANSPORTED IN AND OUT OF THERE. 
          AND NOW WHAT YOU SEE IS ALL OF THOSE NURSING HOMES, BOARDING HOMES, HAVE BASICALLY BEEN ISOLATED TO WHERE YOU CAN'T GET IN. 
          I'VE GOT AN UNCLE DOWN THE STREET, I CAN'T TAKE 'EM CIGARETTES. 
          AND SO PROBABLY A GOOD THING. 
          BUT AGAIN, THEY HAVE ALL BEEN CLOSED AND WE'RE WATCHING MONITORING TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, WHAT'S COMING IN AND OUT OF THOSE. 
          SO THE OTHER THING THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS A WAIVER TO WHERE HOSPITALS, IF THEY HAVE PATIENTS THAT ARE GOING BACK TO NURSING HOMES, THEY MAY BE GOING BACK SOONER. 
          SO WE CAN GET THOSE PEOPLE OUT OF THE HOSPITALS. 
          BUT WE REALLY HAVE PRETTY GOOD CONTROL OVER THE NURSING HOMES 
          [02:55:01]
AND BOARDING HOMES IN THE CITY, UH, PROBABLY AT LEAST A MONTH AGO. 
          AND, UM, CHIEF, HAVE WE MADE ANY COMMUNICATION WITH CROSSPOINT? UM, WE KNOW THAT THAT'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF FACILITY, AND SO HAVE WE REACHED OUT TO THEM TO SEE IF, IF THEY'RE, I KNOW WITH THEM BEING A, UM, THEY HAVE INMATES COMING, UM, TO THEIR FACILITY FROM, FROM DIFFERENT AREAS? I DON'T, I'M NOT PREPARED TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. 
          I'M, I'M NOT SURE. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH, NO PROBLEM. 
          CHIEF. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          THAT'S OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER ANDREWS SULLIVAN, COUNCIL MEMBER TREVINO IGN. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          AND, UH, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'RE ALL VERY GRATEFUL FOR, FOR THE HARD WORK OF STAFF AND, UH, METRO HEALTH. 
          UM, EVERYBODY, ERIC, UH, HAS REALLY, UH, DONE A INCREDIBLE JOB. 
          WANNA THANK DR. 
          BRIDGER AS WELL FOR ALWAYS BEING AVAILABLE TO ME. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I ALSO WANT TO THANK MY STAFF. 
          YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, THEY'RE WORKING FROM HOME, THEY'RE WORKING, AND I, UH, I THINK EVERYBODY'S STAFF IS DOING THE SAME. 
          AND, UH, I'M REALLY GRATEFUL FOR, FOR THEIR, THEIR HARD WORK. 
          AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, THE WILLINGNESS AND THE DILIGENCE TO, UH, MAKE SURE THAT THEY STAY CONNECTED THE WAY THEY ALWAYS ARE TYP ON A TYPICAL DAY WITH OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, WITH, WITH THE CITY. 
          AND SO, UH, NUMBER ONE, NUMBER ONE, I WANNA POINT OUT THAT, AS WAS MENTIONED THERE, THE, THE COMMUNICATIONS, UH, THAT WAS DONE AND COORDINATED AMONGST OUR STAFF HAS BEEN GREAT. 
          UM, AND CERTAINLY WANT TO CONTINUE THE, THE HELP AND SUPPORT FROM THE E O C AND CITY STAFF. 
          AND, AND I WANNA SPECIFICALLY MENTION THAT WE DEFINITELY APPRECIATE, UH, THE NEW GRAPHICS FROM THE CITY THAT THE CITY'S PROVIDING. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, GREAT JOB ON THAT. 
          UH, JEFF COYLE, THANK YOU, UH, FOR, FOR RESPONDING TO THAT. 
          AND, UH, I THINK THEY'RE DOING A, A, A, THEY, THEY DO A, A GREAT JOB AT COMMUNICATING SOME OF THE NEEDS, SO PLEASE KEEP IT COMING. 
          UH, THIS IS, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT, WHAT WE ALL NEED, SO WE HAVE A CONSISTENT MESSAGE THROUGHOUT, THROUGHOUT THE CITY. 
          UM, SO I, ONE OF MY, ONE OF MY QUESTIONS IS, UH, REGARDING THINGS LIKE FEES AND PAYMENTS TO THE CITY, I WAS ASKED, UH, THIS RECENTLY, UH, THE, THE, LIKE, UH, HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX AND SO FORTH. 
          WHAT, WHAT ARE WE DOING IN TERMS OF, OF THE, THE PAYMENTS? UH, UH, A HOTEL ASKED ME IF, IF THERE WAS A, AN OPPORTUNITY, IF, IF THEY COULD DELAY PAYMENT, WOULD THEY BE FINED FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? WELL, UH, I'LL LET, UH, JEFF OR CARLOS TALK ABOUT THIS FROM A STATE LEVEL, THAT THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE TAXES THAT ARE DUE AND REMITTED TO THE STATE. 
          AND, AND, UH, I THINK IT WAS DURING JEFF'S PRESENTATION, HE TALKED ABOUT THERE'S SOME, UH, DISCUSSION AT THE STATE LEVEL, BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN REQUESTS ALSO FOR SALES TAX. 
          UM, AND, AND WE'RE, WE'RE TAKING THE GUIDANCE OF, OF THE STATE, MANY OF THOSE THAT THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY HAS BEEN STRUCK IN HEAVILY IN THIS CASE. 
          BUT THE COMPTROLLER HAS, UH, I THINK CORRECTLY STATED THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, HOSPITAL DISTRICTS IN TERMS OF SALES TAX, ARE GONNA RELY UPON THAT. 
          UM, CARLOS, DO YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING ON THE HOTEL MOTEL PIECE? UH, EXACTLY THE SAME. 
          I'M JUST, UH, THE, THE, THOSE ARE REMITTED TO THE STATE AND THEY'RE COLLECTED AT THE STATE LEVEL. 
          UH, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUNDING SPECIFICALLY FOR HOTELS. 
          NOT ALL HOTELS, NOT ALL CHAINS, BUT IN THE STIMULUS PROGRAM, THERE'S ANO THERE'S A QUITE A BIT OF FUNDING FOR HOTELS. 
          UH, SO WE'LL SEE HOW THAT COMES OUT AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN. 
          THEN WE'RE REACHING OUT TO THE COMPTROLLER RIGHT NOW TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE TERMS ARE THAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, A SHORT TERM, UH, ABATEMENT OR, OR, OR, NOT ABATEMENT, BUT A PAYMENT PLAN, BECAUSE THE STATE GOVERNMENT ALSO RELIES ON THOSE TAX, UH, TAXES AS WELL. 
          SO WE'LL GET SOME MORE INFORMATION AND CERTAINLY, CERTAINLY SHARE THAT. 
          L LET ME ADD COUNCILMAN, UH, WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION FROM MARIA AND BEN. 
          UM, THAT HOT FUND PORTION, UH, DOES COME DIRECTLY TO THE CITY. 
          UM, AND, UH, WE HAVE RECEIVED SOME REQUESTS. 
          I THINK THAT'S THE BALANCE THAT WE'RE GONNA NEED TO CHECK IN TERMS OF OUR CASH FLOW FOR OUR HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX FUND AND OUR OPERATIONS. 
          AND THAT'S PART OF THE ANALYSIS WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, AND, UH, EARLIER THIS WEEK, UH, YOU KNOW, I WANNA THANK, UH, THE MAYOR AND THE COUNTY JUDGE FOR, UH, HELPING TO SEND A LETTER TO, TO THE GOVERNOR REGARDING PROPERTY TAX 
          [03:00:01]
APPRAISALS. 
          UM, I, I THOUGHT I WAS HEARING THAT, UH, MAYBE OTHER CITIES WERE JOINING IN ON THAT REQUEST THAT WE, THAT WE ROLL PROPERTY TAXES FOR, FOR PROPERTY TAX APPRAISALS FOR THIS YEAR. 
          JEFF, CAN YOU TELL US ANYTHING ABOUT THAT? HAVE WE HEARD ANYTHING? YEAH, NOT, NOT ANYTHING DEFINITIVE. 
          WE DID ABOUT AN HOUR. 
          CARLOS AND I DID ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF CALL YESTERDAY WITH A WHOLE GROUP OF OTHER CITIES, AND THEY'RE ALL WONDERING AND CURIOUS ABOUT THE PROPERTY TAX CONVERSATION. 
          UM, BUT THERE'S BEEN NO GUIDANCE OUT OF THE STATE YET IN TERMS OF HOW THEY PLAN TO APPRAISE AND HAVE, HAVE WE SHARED, HAVE WE SHARED, UH, OUR LETTER, OUR LETTER WE HAVE? YES. 
          AND DO THEY, ARE THEY SUPPORTIVE OF, OF WHAT YEAH, I SPECIFICALLY WAS TOLD THAT MANY OF THEM, UH, SHARED THE SAME CONCERNS THAT WERE EXPRESSED IN THE LETTER. 
          SO YES. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          THEN WE'LL, WE'LL LOOK FOR AN UPDATE ON THAT. 
          AND, UH, AGAIN, JUST TO REITERATE, UH, SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE DID AT THE BRI APPRAISAL BOARD IS WE AGREED TO DELAY THE NOTICES, UH, GOING OUT, UH, UNTIL APRIL 18TH. 
          SO, UH, THAT WE HOPE THAT THAT GIVES US ENOUGH TIME TO, TO HEAR BACK FROM THE GOVERNOR AND WHAT, WHAT HAPPENS THERE. 
          SO WANNA LET THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT THOSE NOTICES HAVEN'T GONE OUT. 
          THEY USUALLY GO OUT APRIL 1ST. 
          THEY WON'T GO OUT UNTIL APRIL 18TH IN THE HOPES THAT, UH, WE HEAR BACK FROM THE GOVERNOR ABOUT ROLLING, ROLLING PROPERTY TAXES FOR, FOR THIS YEAR. 
          UM, THERE WAS ALSO A LOT OF CONCERN AND ANGST ABOUT OUR U D C AMENDMENTS, AND I WANT TO THANK ROD SANCHEZ AND, UH, MIKE SHANNON FOR, FOR BEING VERY RESPONSIBLE ON THAT. 
          AND, UH, REALLY, AGAIN, JUST WANNA REITERATE THAT, THAT, UH, WE ARE, WE'RE BASICALLY POSTPONING UNTIL AFTER THIS, UH, RECOVERY. 
          AND, UH, WE WILL REASSESS AT THAT POINT. 
          UH, SO I JUST WANNA, YOU KNOW, MENTION THAT, UH, BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT OF FOLKS WORRIED THAT WE WERE STILL KIND OF MOVING FORWARD ON THOSE U D C AMENDMENTS. 
          UH, AND THEN REGARDING CODE VIOLATIONS, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS, WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF FOLKS OUT THERE. 
          UH, ROD, YOU MIGHT WANT TO SAY THIS AS WELL, BECAUSE, UH, WE HAD, WE HAD A GENTLEMAN, UH, THIS WEEK, UH, THAT, UH, WAS, WAS NOT, UH, FALLING IN LINE, BUT, UH, IT WAS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW, UH, THE CITY WAS, UH, TRYING TO BE PROACTIVE AND NOT FIND, UH, ANYBODY, UH, TO, BUT RATHER WORK AND TRY TO, UH, YOU KNOW, BRING SOMEBODY INTO COMPLIANCE. 
          UH, TELL US HOW, HOW, HOW WE WORKED THAT, UH, SITUATION. 
          AND, UH, OF COURSE, YOU DID ASK ME TO EVEN CALL THIS, THIS PERSON. 
          UH, I THINK EVERY COUNCIL MEMBER UP HERE ON THIS DIOCESE WOULD BE WILLING TO DO THE SAME IN THEIR DISTRICT. 
          SO I, I THINK THAT WAS A GREAT, GREAT STRATEGY ON YOUR PART. 
          YOU MIGHT WANNA TALK ABOUT THAT. 
          SURE, SURE. 
          WE, WE, WE HAD A, A COUPLE OF, OF GYMS THAT, UH, WE HAD BEEN OUT A COUPLE OF TIMES TO, AND, UH, UH, THEY, THEY SEEMED TO JUST LACK EDUCATION. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE, YOU KNOW, THE ONE PARTICULAR GYM THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, THEY HAD MOVED EVERYTHING OUTSIDE AND THEY SAID, WELL, WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING OUT OUTSIDE, WE SHOULD BE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE, WE REACHED OUT TO YOU AND YOU WERE ABLE TO TALK TO THE GYM OWNER, AND, UH, WE WERE ABLE TO SIT DOWN, WELL, NOT SIT DOWN WITH HIM, BUT OVER THE PHONE, TALK TO HIM AND, AND EXPLAIN TO HIM THAT EVEN WORKING OUT OUTSIDE IS, IS A VIOLATION. 
          UM, AND AFTER THAT, HE COMPLIED. 
          AND, AND SO FAR TO DATE, UH, THERE, THERE'S BEEN A COUPLE OF OTHERS WHERE WE'VE HAD TO GO OUT A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT ONCE AGAIN, WE, WE EDUCATE, WE MAKE SURE THEY FULLY UNDERSTAND, UH, TELL 'EM WE DON'T WANT TO ISSUE A CITATION. 
          THAT'S THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO. 
          UH, WE'LL ONLY DO THAT IF WE HAVE TO, UH, AND TO DATE, EVERYONE HAS COMPLIED. 
          SO, SO THAT IS OUR APPROACH. 
          WE WANT TO EDUCATE FIRST, YOU KNOW, ISSUE A WARNING IF, IF WE HAVE TO. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, YOU KNOW, THE LAST THING WE'LL DO IS ISSUE A CITATION. 
          THANK YOU, ROD. 
          AND AGAIN, WE ALSO, WE ALSO KNOW THAT, UH, AS IN FACT, ANDY, YOU MENTIONED THAT PEOPLE ARE, ARE, ARE BEING CREATIVE, UH, IN THIS RESPONSE. 
          AND THAT WAS AN ATTEMPT TO BE CREATIVE, BUT IT JUST SIMPLY DIDN'T WORK OUT. 
          SO, UH, WE CAN UNDERSTAND THAT AND, AND CERTAINLY DON'T WANNA BE PUNITIVE, UH, AS PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT FOR THEIR BUSINESSES AND FOR THE COMMUNITY AS WELL. 
          UM, SINCE SPEAKING OF, UH, A COMMUNITY THAT, THAT IS VERY VULNERABLE, UH, THE HOMELESS POPULATION, UH, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HOMELESS AND, UH, I DID SPEAK WITH MELODY WOOLSEY, UH, GAVE ME A BRIEF UPDATE, UH, REGARDING, UH, SOME OF THE EFFORTS THAT HAVEN FOR HOPE IS, IS, IS, UH, DOING, THEY, THEY HAVE FOUND A, A, AN OVERFLOW FACILITY AND ARE BUSING FOLKS OVER TO THAT OVERFLOW FACILITY. 
          THEY'RE NOT ILL, THEY'RE NOT, UH, PEOPLE WITH, WITH SYMPTOMS, BUT, UH, WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO, TO WORK WITH SARAH WHO'S SPEARHEADING ALL OF THAT. 
          DO WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO UPDATE THE COUNCIL ON REGARDING HOMELESS 
          [03:05:01]
INITIATIVES? NO, BUT I'LL JUST POINT BACK TO ONE OF THE BULLETS ON CHIEF HOOD'S SLIDE. 
          THAT THAT IS, THAT THAT POPULATION IS PART OF THAT SURGE MANAGEMENT, UH, PLANNING THAT'S GOING ON AT THE, AT THE E O C. 
          UM, AND, AND THAT WAS ON ONE OF THE SLIDES THAT, UH, CHIEF HOOD MENTIONED. 
          SO THEY'RE A CRITICAL PART OF THE OVERALL PLANNING TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE ACCOMMODATING AND, UH, TAKING CARE OF THE COMMUNITY. 
          THANK YOU, ERIC. 
          AND, AND I, I GOT A TEXT FROM THE GYM OWNER, HIS GYM, HIS, HIS, UH, EQUIPMENT WAS ALREADY OUTSIDE, SO I MISSPOKE. 
          UH, SO HE DID HAVE SOME EQUIPMENT ALREADY OUTSIDE. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, ONE OF I ALSO WANNA POINT OUT, UH, THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF QUESTIONS REGARDING, UH, OUR, OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS ARE, ARE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS INDEFINITELY SUSPENDED? SO AS ROD'S COMING UP TO THE PODIUM, UM, OR UP TO THE MICROPHONE, UM, HE IS GOING TO BEGIN CONVERSATIONS AND SEE, TO SEE IF WE CAN DO, UH, SOME OF THOSE TELEPHONICALLY. 
          AND, UH, ROD, YOU WANNA ASK, THAT'S, THAT'S ESSENTIALLY IT. 
          YES, THEY, THEY ARE POSTPONED RIGHT NOW. 
          UH, BUT WE ARE GONNA WORK WITH CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND, AND OF COURSE WITH, WITH IT TO FIGURE OUT IF WE CAN DO SOME OF THESE TELEPHONICALLY. 
          WE KNOW THERE'S SOME, SOME CASES OUT THERE THAT ARE PENDING THAT ARE, THAT ARE IMPORTANT. 
          UH, SO WE'RE GONNA TRY TO GET THOSE ROLLING AGAIN. 
          THANK YOU, ROD. 
          UM, ANOTHER POINT I WANNA MAKE IS, UH, THE UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS THAT WE PUT UP THERE, DO, DO THOSE, UH, UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS ACCOUNT FOR UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS WHO WILL UNDO, UNDOUBTEDLY, UH, BE AFFECTED BY THIS AND WILL NEED HELP. 
          THEY DON'T, YEAH. 
          OUR RESIDENT EXPERT TOLD US THAT THEY DO NOT ACCOUNT FOR THEM. 
          OKAY. 
          SO IS THERE ANY WAY TO, TO AT LEAST KIND OF, UH, KIND OF EYEBALL A THAT'S SOME KIND OF A, A MAGNITUDE OR IMPACT DR. 
          NEWMAN'S GONNA COME UP AND ADDRESS? OKAY, GREAT. 
          WHAT HE CAN QUESTION, STEVE? OH, SORRY. 
          GREAT QUESTION, COUNCILMAN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, I'LL, I'LL HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT AND SEE IF WE CAN COME UP WITH SOME NUMBERS. 
          UM, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I'VE NOT SEEN ANY DATA THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO DO THAT, BUT LET ME EXPLORE IT AND SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND. 
          THANK YOU, DR. 
          NEVIN. 
          AND IN FACT, I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE MAYOR EARLIER THIS WEEK, UM, ABOUT, UH, THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY, WHICH IS WHERE I'M FROM, AND HOW WE KNOW THAT THEY'LL BE IMPACTED. 
          AND, UM, YOU KNOW, I SUSPECT THAT AS, AS FOLKS ARE, ARE LOOKING FOR JOBS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM THE VALLEY, UH, COMING UP TO SAN ANTONIO AND, AND WE NEED TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND SOME OF THOSE IMPACTS HERE LOCALLY. 
          RIGHT. 
          I WOULD EXPECT THAT TOO. 
          SO AS PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING FOR JOBS AND, YEAH, I MEAN, WE'VE SEEN THAT IN THE PAST DURING A GREAT RECESSION AND OTHER PERIODS LIKE THAT. 
          THANK YOU, DR. 
          NOVIN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK SOMETHING, SOMETHING THAT WE HEAR A LOT FROM, FROM, UH, UH, I, AT LEAST I'VE HEARD IT ANECDOTALLY FROM MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, IS, IS, UH, THE, THE NEED FOR ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES. 
          WHAT DO WE HAVE A REPORT ON? ON WHAT, WHAT IS THE, WHAT IS THE, THE MAGNITUDE OR THE NEED FOR ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES HERE LOCALLY? UH, I'M ASSUMING YOU MEAN ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES AS FAR AS P P E AND THINGS LIKE THAT? CORRECT. 
          UH, WE HAD A SLIDE UP THERE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. 
          UH, OUR P P E EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT IS EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          AND SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO TO WORK THROUGH THE REGION ON ESTABLISHING BURN RATES OF HOW WE'RE USING IT, WE'RE ALSO UTILIZING STRATEGIES ON WHEN WE'RE GONNA APPLY IT. 
          BECAUSE WHEN THIS STARTED, UM, AGENCIES WERE DAWNING EVERY SINGLE OPPORTUNITY THAT, THAT THEY HAD. 
          SO WHAT WE'RE LEARNING THROUGH SOCIAL DISTANCING IS THAT MAYBE ONLY ONE OUT OF THESE SIX FIRST RESPONDERS IS UTILIZING P P E. 
          BUT SO WHAT WE ARE DOING IS MONITORING THAT THROUGH PROCUREMENT, THE CITY, THROUGH THE STATE, THROUGH THE E O C TO, UM, TO MANAGE THAT. 
          WHETHER IT'S A STRATEGIC NATIONAL STOCKPILE REQUEST, WE'RE LOOKING AT THOSE, WHETHER IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN BUY, WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PROCURE ANYTHING NOW. 
          AND THEN YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT POTENTIAL COUNTERFEITING. 
          AND SO, BUT WE'RE MANAGING P P E EVERY DAY. 
          SO THAT IS ONE OF THOSE BULLETS THAT I PUT UP THERE AS FAR AS ADMINISTRATIVELY THAT WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT EVERY SINGLE DAY. 
          AND IT, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE MANAGING. 
          [03:10:01]
ALRIGHT. 
          THANK YOU CHIEF. 
          AND I KNOW, I KNOW THERE'S SOME STRATEGIES TO POTENTIALLY, UH, YOU KNOW, PROVIDE SOME RESOURCES HERE LOCALLY THAT CAN HELP YOU WITH SOME OF THIS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, ONE QUICK POINT. 
          I WANNA, I WANNA POINT OUT I LOVE THIS NEW, UH, METHOD WHERE PEOPLE ARE ON WIRELESS MICS. 
          UM, I THINK IT'S INCREDIBLY EFFICIENT AND THOUGHTFUL AND WHOEVER CAME UP WITH THAT KUDOS, UH, BECAUSE I THINK WE NEED TO, WE NEED TO DO MORE OF THAT. 
          IS THAT YOUR IDEA, ERIC? YES. 
          YES. 
          ALL IT WAS WAS ERIC'S IDEA. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          WELL, WELL, FOR THE RECORD. 
          ALL RIGHT, GOOD. 
          WHILE YOU'RE GIVING KUDOS, I JUST WANTED TO, WAS HAVING TO JUGGLE SIX AND SEVEN DIFFERENT MICS AT A TIME. 
          HEY, NO DOUBT. 
          THE UNSUNG HEROES, YOU KNOW, THE AV TEAM IS, IS ALWAYS LOOKING OUT FOR US. 
          AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THEY, UH, IN MANY CASES, UH, SOME OF THEM BECOME FRIENDS OF MINE. 
          SO I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS AS WELL. 
          GOOD JOB. 
          UM, AND SPEAKING OF UNSUNG HEROES, I JUST, I'LL JUST CLOSE OUT BY SIMPLY SAYING, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T, UH, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T GIVE AN ENOUGH THANKS TO IS, IS, IS OUR PHYSICIANS, PHYSICIANS, UM, THEY'RE TRULY SUPERHEROES. 
          AND I WAS REMINDED OF, UH, SOMEBODY CLOSE TO ME THAT, UM, EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A DOCTOR AND TELL IT'S TIME TO DO DOCTOR STUFF. 
          UM, SO, YOU KNOW, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING. 
          WE KNOW THAT, UH, WHILE EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO AVOID ONE ANOTHER, YOU'RE GOING RIGHT AT THE PROBLEM. 
          AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT MEANS A LOT TO ALL OF US. 
          AND SO, UH, WHEN IT'S TIME THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY HUG A DOCTOR, HUG A DOCTOR. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER TREVINO, UH, ERIC, KEN, LET ME JUST ADD TO THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, UM, I, I THINK WE ALWAYS RECOGNIZE THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, INDIVIDUALS WHO POTENTIALLY COULD BE EXPOSED, WHETHER THAT'S A, A NURSE OR A CAREGIVER OR, OR A DOCTOR IN THIS CASE. 
          BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT PART OF THAT SURGE MANAGEMENT AND WHAT CHARLES, WHAT CHIEF HOOD IS DESCRIBING. 
          UM, UM, YOU KNOW, I HAD A CHANCE TO VISIT WITH POLICE OFFICERS AND FIREFIGHTERS ON SATURDAY. 
          AND, UM, YOU KNOW, I, I, I WALKED AWAY FROM THERE AND, AND UNANNOUNCED, I DIDN'T TELL THE CHIEFS I WAS GOING ANYWHERE. 
          UM, BUT, BUT THEY WERE, THEY'RE PREPARED. 
          THEY HAVE QUESTIONS, UM, THEY WATCH THE NEWS LIKE WE DO AND SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. 
          BUT, UH, I WALKED OUT OF THERE AS I WAS DRIVING HOME SATURDAY NIGHT THINKING, YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE INDIVIDUALS THAT WE KNOW DO DANGEROUS JOBS ON A DAILY BASIS, BUT IN THESE UNCERTAIN TIMES, UM, UM, ARE PREPARED. 
          AND, AND MANY OF THE, AND MANY OF THE FOLKS THAT, THAT DO THAT DAY IN, DAY OUT, UM, ARE ARE JUST LIKE, WE'RE DEALING WITH A NEW REALITY. 
          UH, THOSE FOLKS ARE DEALING WITH A NEW REALITY. 
          AND I'M, I'M, UH, I'M CERTAINLY APPRECIATIVE OF THEIR WORK. 
          THANK YOU, ERIC, THAT, THAT, THAT'S REALLY, UH, WELL STATED. 
          AND CERTAINLY I APPRECIATE HOW MUCH YOU ENGAGE, UH, STAFF, HOW MUCH YOU ARE, YOU'RE CREATIVE IN, IN, IN WAYS, UH, LIKE TODAY, UH, DEMONSTRATING THAT, UH, WE'VE GOTTA RUN AN EFFICIENT MEETING. 
          SO WE ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATE THAT. 
          AND I, AND I'D BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T MENTION THAT I, I TOO WANT TO HAVE MORE MEETINGS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I, WE, I SENT AN EMAIL ASKING, UM, THAT, UH, YOU CAN FIND A WAY TO, TO, TO PUT US, UH, PUT US TO WORK, UH, HELP, HELP US, HELP YOU IN MANY, MANY RESPECTS. 
          AND AS I SAID EARLIER, THE, A LOT OF OUR COMMUNICATIONS STAFF IS, IS GETTING INPUT FROM, OR QUESTIONS FROM NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE'D LIKE TO FEED BACK TO, TO STAFF, SO THAT WE CAN GET A, A CONSISTENT ANSWER ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING. 
          BUT AGAIN, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER TREVINO, COUNCIL MEMBER PAL, MAYOR, UM, I, I, I THINK THE FIRST THING OUT THE GATE IS TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT TWO THINGS. 
          ONE, I'M ON THE PHONE EVERY SINGLE DAY WITH EITHER THE MAYOR OR ERIC WALSH OR COLLEEN BRIDGER, UH, GETTING VERY ROBUST, UM, YOU KNOW, VERY ROBUST BRIEFINGS. 
          THERE IS NO, UH, REQUEST OF INFORMATION THAT I HAVEN'T RECEIVED. 
          NONE. 
          UM, AND SO, UH, THANK YOU MAYOR AND AND ERIC FOR, UH, FOR, FOR STAYING INVOLVED AND, AND FOR REACHING OUT TO ME. 
          UH, THE SECOND THING IS, UH, THAT I AM, UM, I, I, I THINK THAT PEOPLE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY ABOVE ANYTHING ELSE IS TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE, UH, STAY ALIVE. 
          UH, EVERYTHING ELSE, ANYTHING ELSE, WHILE CERTAINLY VERY IMPORTANT COMES AFTER THAT NUMBER 
          [03:15:01]
ONE PRIORITY. 
          UM, SO, YOU KNOW, WE KEEP GETTING ASKED, WELL, WHEN IS THIS GONNA END? UH, DO YOU SEE, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, CAN YOU GIVE US A DATE CERTAIN, UH, WHEN, WHEN, WHEN WE'RE BEING ASKED THAT BY BUSINESS OWNERS, BY EMPLOYEES, BY, UH, YOU KNOW, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS? AND TO THEM ALL, ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT THE VIRUS IS THE ONE THAT SETS THE TIMETABLE. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, NOT US. 
          BUT WE CAN, WE CAN HELP, RIGHT? AND WE, WHILE NOPE, ELECTED OFFICIAL, UH, OR, YOU KNOW, GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL WILL EVER BE ABLE TO, UH, HONESTLY GIVE YOU A DATE CERTAIN, ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL WHO GIVES YOU A DATE, CERTAIN AS TO WHEN IT IS THAT THIS WILL BE SOLVED, UM, IS EITHER VERY MISINFORMED OR LYING TO YOU. 
          BUT, UH, ONE THING THAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT WE CAN, UH, BEGIN TO PUT OUR ARMS AROUND THIS IF, UH, WE DO IT ALL TOGETHER. 
          UM, AND WE DO IT ALL TOGETHER BY STAYING APART. 
          AND SO, UH, WITH THAT, ANDY, I, I, I'LL START WITH, WITH YOU. 
          UM, IF YOU CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTION FOR ME. 
          UH, DO BUSINESSES NEED A LETTER OR SOME KIND OF PERMIT IN ORDER TO DRIVE ON THE ROADS TO AND FROM WORK AND ALL THAT? UH, THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION, COUNCILMAN. 
          'CAUSE IT ALLOWS ME TO DISPEL THE COUPLE RUMORS THAT ARE OUT THERE. 
          AND THE FIRST ONE IS THE QUESTION YOU'RE ASKING. 
          UH, THERE SEEMS TO BE A RUMOR OUT THERE THAT PEOPLE NEED A LETTER OR A PERMIT, SOMETHING THAT WOULD EXPLAIN TO SOMEBODY THAT THEY ARE ENGAGING IN EITHER AN EXEMPTED ACTIVITY OR EXEMPTED BUSINESS. 
          THAT IS NOT THE CASE. 
          WE'RE, AGAIN, WE'RE NOT STOPPING ANYBODY. 
          THERE'S NO NEED TO HAVE A PERMIT. 
          THERE'S NO NEED TO HAVE A LETTER FROM YOUR EMPLOYER. 
          UH, AGAIN, WE'RE RELYING ON, UH, SELF COMPLIANCE. 
          AND WE'RE ASSUMING THAT IF PEOPLE ARE OUT ON THE ROAD AND OUT AND ABOUT, THEY'RE ENGAGING IN EITHER AN EXEMPTED ACTIVITY OR AN EXEMPTED BUSINESS. 
          UH, THE OTHER, UH, RUMOR I WANTED TO ADDRESS IS THAT, UH, SOME BELIEVE THAT UNDER THE EMERGENCY DECLARATION, THERE IS SOME PROCESS FOR, UH, A WAIVER, UM, OR AN APPEAL. 
          UH, THERE IS NO SUCH PROCESS. 
          I MEAN, THE EMERGENCY DECLARATION, UH, SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. 
          WE ARE TRYING TO, UH, ADDRESS QUESTIONS THAT COME IN ON INTERPRETATION, BUT, UH, THERE IS NO APPEAL PROCESS. 
          SO, UH, AGAIN, THANKS FOR YOUR QUESTION, COUNCILMAN. 
          THANK YOU, ANDY. 
          UH, DAWN, I, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. 
          THE, YOU SHOWED US A MAP OF, UH, YOU KNOW, THE, WHERE THE COVID POSITIVE TESTS ARE AND WHERE WE'VE SEEN DEATHS. 
          IS THAT A MAP THAT'S AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC? CAN WE PUT IT ON THE WEBSITE IF IT'S NOT THERE? UM, WE ARE DOING TWO. 
          WE'RE DOING AN, UH, WE'RE BUILDING THE INTERNAL FIRST SO THAT WE CAN ASSURE THAT WE ARE MAKING GOOD INFORMED DECISIONS MOVING FORWARD. 
          AND THEN THE NEXT PHASE WAS TO DO AN EXTERNAL FACING. 
          SO THAT'S OUR PLAN. 
          NOT YET, THOUGH. 
          DO, WHEN WE CAN SEE AN EXTERNAL FACING, I WOULD SAY BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK, UM, OUR, IT AND OUR INNOVATION DEPARTMENT ARE PRODUCING NEW INFORMATION EVERY 48 HOURS. 
          THAT'S THEIR COMMITMENT TO US. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU, DON. 
          YOU'RE WELCOME. 
          UH, AND THEN DON ALSO, UH, THERE'S NO SHORTAGE  OF BUSINESSES AND ENTREPRENEURS WHO WERE CONTACTING CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WITH, UH, YOU KNOW, THEIR PROPOSALS BECAUSE THEY SUDDENLY, UH, ARE NOW REPRESENTING COMPANIES THAT, UH, SELL THE NEW WHIZZBANG INVENTION THAT, YOU KNOW, CAN HELP US GET OUT OF THIS MESS. 
          AND ON TOP OF THAT, I'M, I'M GETTING CALLS FROM, UH, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WITH, UH, A LOT OF P P E, UH, THAT SOMEHOW THEY MANAGE TO SECURE, UH, OR THAT THEY'VE GOT CONTRACTS TO HELP, UH, YOU KNOW, DISTRIBUTE HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, P P E FROM CHINA AND LATIN AMERICA. 
          WHAT, WHAT DO I DO WITH THOSE FOLKS? 'CAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL 'EM. 
          LIKE FOR YOU TO SEND THEM TO ME, I'M KEEPING, 'CAUSE I GET 'EM AS WELL. 
          WHAT'S THE FEEDBACK THERE? I GET, UM, EMAILS FROM A LOT OF FOLKS AS WELL. 
          SEND THEM TO ME. 
          I THINK THAT THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO WORK WITH OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OFFICE AND ACTUALLY DO SOME IN OUR INNOVATION OFFICE AND MAYBE LOOK AT DOING SOME TYPE OF, UM, YOU KNOW, FUTURE WORK WITH HEALTH, HEALTH TECHNOLOGY AND INCUBATION. 
          LET'S NOT, WHY NOT? LET'S, IF THERE'S MOTIVATION THERE, LET'S GATHER THAT INFORMATION AND SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO TO BENEFIT SAN ANTONIO IN THE FUTURE. 
          SO I WILL SEND THEM TO YOU, AND THEN IF IT GETS TO BE OVERWHELMING, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I'LL STOP SENDING THEM TO YOU. 
          I'M DEVELOPING A DATABASE 'CAUSE I DO HAVE THEM. 
          I THINK IT'S VALUABLE. 
          IT'S VALUABLE INFORMATION. 
          THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT WANNA HELP. 
          UM, WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO HELP FOR THEM TO HELP US YET, BUT LET'S COLLECT IT AND SEE IF WE CAN, IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU, DONNA. 
          AND THEN LASTLY, I DON'T THINK IT'S, IT VIOLATES ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST RULES, UH, TO PROMOTE FREE SERVICE. 
          YOU 
          [03:20:01]
KNOW, MY DAD, UH, TOLD ME YESTERDAY, UH, MY DAD'S A RADIOLOGIST A TELL A RADIOLOGIST, UH, STAY AT HOME. 
          AND HE TOLD ME YESTERDAY, IF ANYBODY NEEDS RADIOLOGY SERVICES, HE'LL BE HAPPY TO TURN THE COMPUTER ON AND DO IT FOR FREE. 
          AND SO, UM, THE, UH, ANDY, YOU KNOW, IT OCCURS TO ME, UM, THAT I MAY, I MAY HAVE TO ASK YOU A QUESTION. 
          UM, ANDY, IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN USE CITY FACILITIES, UH, TO HOUSE HOMELESS PEOPLE WITHOUT HAVING TO, YOU KNOW, BREAK ANY RULES OR, UH, YOU KNOW, LIKE, ANYWAY, I THINK YOU KNOW WHERE I'M GOING. 
          THE YES, THE ALAMO DOME, FOR EXAMPLE, MAY BE AVAILABLE MM-HMM. 
           OH, NO. 
          A ABSOLUTELY UNDER THE, UH, EMERGENCY DECLARATION AND PART OF THE ORDINANCE THAT THE COUNCIL'S CONSIDERING, IT DOES PROVIDE BOTH THE MAYOR AND THE CITY MANAGER WITH A GREAT DEGREE OF FLEXIBILITY IN TERMS OF U USING, UH, PREMISES AND CITY FACILITIES TO TRY TO ADDRESS, UH, ALL THE DIFFERENT RESPONSES TO THE C OVID 19. 
          SO, SO ERIC, IS THERE A, HAS THERE BEEN A DISCUSSION ABOUT HOUSING, UH, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE AT, AT THE ALIMO DOME, LET'S SAY? I MEAN, WE'VE GOT ALL THESE SITES, THESE BIG SITES THAT WERE POSSIBLY AIR CONDITIONING AND KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON OVER THERE. 
          ARE WE USING THEM TO THEIR MAXIMUM CAPACITY OR POTENTIAL? UH, YES, SIR. 
          UH, SO, UH, AND PART OF THE CONVERSATION THAT THE, THAT CHIEF HOOD HAD DURING HIS PRESENTATION ON SURGE CAPACITY, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FACILITIES THAT ARE UNDER REVIEW AND, AND ANY PLANNING OR DISCUSSIONS THAT WE HAVE ARE BEING DONE BY THE E O C AND THE UNIFIED COMMAND IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE HOSPITALS. 
          SO THERE ARE FACILITIES THAT ARE UNDER REVIEW RIGHT NOW. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ERIC. 
          JEFF COYLE, CAN YOU TALK, YOU AND I HAD HAD A, UH, AN IN-DEPTH CONVERSATION ABOUT THE, THE BILL, UH, OR I'M SORRY, THE, THE RESCUE BILL, IF YOU WILL, OR THE BAILOUT BILL, UH, THAT WAS, THAT WAS AGREED UPON LAST NIGHT. 
          CAN YOU ADDRESS TAX CREDIT FOR EMPLOYERS AND WHETHER OR NOT, UM, THAT HAS AN IMPACT ON CITY GOVERNMENT? AND THEN, UH, AND THEN I'LL ASK MY SECOND QUESTION AFTER YOU ANSWER THAT. 
          SURE. 
          UM, SHORT ANSWER IS WE DON'T KNOW YET. 
          THE VERSION THAT PASSED THE SENATE LAST NIGHT DID NOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYERS NOT BEING ABLE TO PURSUE THE SAME TAX CREDITS THAT PRIVATE SECTOR EMPLOYERS CAN FOR, UH, OFFERING THE, OR GRANTING THE PAID AND EMERGENCY SICK LEAVE. 
          UM, THERE'S SOME HOPE THAT THE HOUSE, UH, WILL, BUT, UM, I THINK AMENDING THE BILL AT THIS POINT MEANS OPENING IT UP, AND IT'S BEEN A PRETTY DIFFICULT PROCESS ALREADY. 
          SO WE'LL SEE WHAT THE HOUSE SPEAKER WANTS TO DO. 
          I'M NOT SURE IF WE KNOW ANYMORE, UH, YET TODAY FROM, FROM WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT, BUT I, BUT I WILL, WE'LL BE THE  ACT THAT WE WOULD FEEL. 
          YEAH, I'LL, I'LL, IF SHE WASN'T IN THERE, I'LL DEFER TO BEN. 
          I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE SOLID NUMBERS AT THIS POINT, BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE SECOND BILL REQUIRED EMPLOYERS TO OFFER TWO WEEKS OF PAID SICK LEAVE AND UP TO 10 WEEKS OF EMERGENCY, UH, FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE. 
          AND BOTH HAVE TO BE, I'M SORRY, AT LEAST IN THE PAID SICK LEAVE, IT HAS TO BE ABOVE AND BEYOND LEAVE THAT'S ALREADY PROVIDED. 
          SO IT'S, IT'S A MANDATED, UH, ADDITIONAL COST. 
          NOW, IT'S OBVIOUSLY VERY NEEDED FOR EMPLOYEES WHO, WHO NEED IT RIGHT NOW, BUT THE PRIVATE EMPLOYERS WE'RE ABLE TO OFFSET THAT COST ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO OFFSET THAT COST BY GETTING TAX CREDITS IN RETURN. 
          AND RIGHT NOW, WE'RE PROHIBITED FROM THAT. 
          SO I'M NOT SURE IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD, BEN, BUT THERE'S, THERE'S A, THERE'S GONNA BE SOME FINANCIAL COST TO IT, OBVIOUSLY, AND WE'D LIKE THE SAME TREATMENT THAT THE PRIVATE EMPLOYERS ARE, ARE GETTING. 
          COUNCILMAN, UM, MAYBE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO ASK IS, IS THIS AN UNFUNDED MANDATE? WHAT, AND FOR CITIES IS CLEARLY AN UNFUNDED MANDATE, WE WILL HAVE NO REIMBURSEMENT OF THAT EXPENSE. 
          IT'S NOW BEING BORNE BY THE CITIES. 
          SIMILARLY, SMALL BUSINESSES OR BUSINESSES, GENERALLY 500 EMPLOYEES OR LESS. 
          IT'S A PARTIALLY FUNDED MANDATE BY VIRTUE OF THE CREDITS THEY CAN HAVE ON THEIR PAYROLL TAX. 
          OKAY, THANK YOU. 
          UH, JEFF, ALSO, I, AT THE LAST GLANCE, I SAW THAT, UH, THE BILL INCLUDED, UH, A SET ASIDE OF $45 MILLION FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROGRAMS. UM, IT, IF, IF YOU'RE NOT LOOKING AT THAT, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOUR EYE ON THAT. 
          I, I THINK THE COUNCIL'S BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT THAT IS A PRIORITY FOR US. 
          AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, ALL THE MORE, SO NOW WE WE'RE GETTING REPORTS FROM THE EXPERTS AT, UH, THE TEXAS FAMILY VIOLENCE COUNCIL AND, UM, YOU KNOW, OUR LOCAL FAMILY VIOLENCE PREVENTION SERVICES AGENCIES THAT, UH, THEY'RE TERRIFIED THAT, YOU KNOW, KEEPING PEOPLE AT HOME IS JUST THE PERFECT FORMULA FOR, 
          [03:25:01]
UH, FOMENTING, UH, MORE, UM, VIOLENCE, UH, OR, OR I'M SORRY, FOR, FOR, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE TO HAVE AN EXCUSE TO PERPETRATE MORE VIOLENCE AT HOME AND NOT BEING ABLE TO ESCAPE AND OUT OF FEAR THAT THEY MIGHT BE ABLE VIOLATING THIS, UH, THIS ORDER. 
          AND SO THAT $45 MILLION MIGHT GO A LONG WAY. 
          AND SO I, I DON'T KNOW IF, IF THAT'S ALREADY ON YOUR RADAR SCREEN, IS IT? IT IS. 
          IT WAS IN THE, UH, IT WAS IN THE NOTES THAT MY COLLEAGUE SALLY GAVE ME, AND I, I SKIPPED OVER IT, UNFORTUNATELY THIS MORNING, UNINTENTIONALLY. 
          BUT YES, THERE IS 45 MILLION, WE WOULD ASSUME, AGAIN, THROUGH EXISTING PROGRAMS. UH, TO DATE, WE DO HAVE, UM, FAMILY VIOLENCE RELATED, UH, ASSISTANCE AND RESOURCE INFORMATION ON OUR WEBPAGE. 
          ALSO, BECAUSE OF THE VERY POINT THAT YOU'RE MAKING, WHICH IS IN STRESSFUL TIMES, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A CONCERN THAT THOSE TYPES OF ISSUES WILL, WILL FLARE UP. 
          SO, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE AWARE OF THAT AND WATCHING IT, AND WE'LL WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS ONCE WE KNOW MORE ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITIES TO, TO SEEK THOSE FUNDS. 
          GREAT. 
          AND THEN ERIC MENTIONED THAT I'D WRITTEN A LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR, AND SO LET, LET ME COVER THAT REAL QUICK. 
          YES. 
          UH, I DID, I, I, I WROTE TO THE GOVERNOR AND LETTING 'EM KNOW THAT DISTRICT EIGHT HAS THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF COLLEGE STUDENTS, UM, AND THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF OFF-CAMPUS STUDENT HOUSING. 
          WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF OFF-CAMPUS STUDENT HOUSING OPERATORS OUT THERE NOT BEING VERY SENSITIVE TO, UH, THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS WHO COME BACK AND TELL 'EM, HEY, YOU KNOW, I'M, I, MY PARENTS AREN'T PAYING FOR GOLF , YOU KNOW, FOR, FOR ME TO LIVE IN A CITY WHEN I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO CLASS HERE AND I GOTTA GO BACK HOME TO HELP OUT, OR WHATEVER IT IS. 
          AND WE'VE GOT THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS ALL OVER TEXAS HEADING BACK TO THEIR HOMETOWNS AND NEEDING TO VACATE APARTMENTS THAT QUITE HONESTLY, THEY'RE JUST NOT GONNA USE. 
          AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HAVING, UM, YOU KNOW, STUDENT HOUSING, APARTMENT OPERATORS, UM, KIND OF HOLDING THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE ON THESE LEASES. 
          AND SO, WHILE I'M CERTAINLY SENSITIVE TO THESE OPERATORS NEEDING TO, YOU KNOW, KEEP THEIR P AND L AND BALANCE SHEETS LOOKING GOOD, UH, AT THE SAME TIME, UH, YOU KNOW, PROFITING FROM, UH, PEOPLE WHO ARE PROBABLY THE MOST VULNERABLE, WHICH ARE STUDENTS, UM, IS, IS TROUBLING FOR ME. 
          AND SO I'VE ASKED THE GOVERNOR TO TAKE A LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, WHAT, IF ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO THE, UH, FOR THE STUDENTS, INCLUDING, UM, YOU KNOW, HELPING THEM OUTTA THESE LEASES. 
          AND SO, UM, JUST AN F Y I, UM, I'M GETTING HEAT FROM, UH, YOU KNOW, THE STUDENT, UH, HOUSING OPERATORS, AND I'LL FIND A WAY TO GET OVER THAT. 
          UH, THE LASTLY, UM, I, I, I JUST WANNA TELL YOU GUYS SOME, SOME REAL LIFE STORIES, UH, OF WHAT WE'RE HEARING. 
          UH, I SPOKE TO THE GM OF FIESTA, TEXAS. 
          UM, THEY STILL HAVE ALL THEIR EMPLOYEES ON PAYROLL, UM, AND THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO, HOW TO SURVIVE. 
          I, I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THEY WILL, BUT I MEAN, THEY'RE, THEY'RE TAKING CARE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES. 
          THEY'VE CALLED AND EVEN OFFERED UP THEIR PARKING LOT, UH, TO SEE IF WE CAN USE IT FOR SOMETHING. 
          UM, AND SO, ERIC, PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND. 
          AND, AND CHIEF HOOD, KEEP THAT IN MIND. 
          THERE'S A, YOU KNOW, THIS BIG, BIG, BIG PARKING LOT, UH, OUT IN MY DISTRICT THAT, YOU KNOW, IS FLAT, SAFE, AND ACCESSIBLE TO YOU. 
          UM, THE ZOO, WE ALL SAW AN ARTICLE TODAY. 
          THE ZOO IS, UH, REALLY TREADING WATER AND, AND TRYING TO KEEP THINGS GOING. 
          UH, I DON'T KNOW HOW TIM MORROW DOES IT. 
          HE'S A HERO. 
          AND, UM, YOU KNOW, WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW, HOW WE HELP THE ZOO RECOVER. 
          IT'S REALLY ONE OF OUR MOST IMPORTANT, UM, YOU KNOW, TOURISM AND EDUCATIONAL, UH, ASSETS HERE IN TOWN. 
          UM, JEFF, THE OWNER OF A RESTAURANT CALLED PICNICS, AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THE RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION, UH, HAS RETOOLED, UH, RE, YOU KNOW, PICNICS AND IS NOW DELIVERING GROCERIES TO PEOPLE'S HOMES. 
          UM, THERE'S A, UH, A FELLOW NAMED JUSTIN VITECH, WHO'S THE OWNER OF HILLS AND DALE'S. 
          HE HASN'T LAID OFF ANY EMPLOYEES. 
          AND, UH, YOU KNOW, HE'S VERY WORRIED THAT HE'S GOTTA STILL REMIT TO THE STATE, IS MIXED BEVERAGE TAXES OF 14%, UH, DURING THIS TIME, EVEN THOUGH, UH, YOU KNOW, HE'S GOT NONE OF HIS BARTENDERS THERE. 
          AND, AND THEY'RE WORKING, AND, YOU KNOW, HE'S SOMEHOW MANAGED TO FIND MONEY TO PROVIDE GROUND BEEF AND MILK AND EGGS AND WATER TO HIS EMPLOYEES WHO ARE HAVING A VERY DIFFERENT TIME. 
          YES, COUNCILMAN? UM, I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT ONE OF THE OTHER, UH, WAIVERS OF STATE LAW THAT THE GOVERNOR DID WAS ALLOWING RESTAURANTS TO EFFECTIVELY SERVE AS MARKETPLACES AS GROCERY STORES. 
          YES. 
          SO WHILE THEY CAN'T HAVE IN-STORE DINING, THEY CAN OFFER PRODUCTS ON THE SHELVES FOR PEOPLE TO TAKE WITH THEM. 
          AND, AND I'LL JUST, UH, USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO NOTE THAT WE ARE REALLY TRYING TO HIGHLIGHT A LOT OF THE BUSINESSES IN THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE DOING SOCIAL DISTANCING, RIGHT? AND I WOULD ASK ALL OF YOU, IF YOU HAVE SOME IN YOUR DISTRICT WHO, YOU KNOW, HAVE TAKEN, UH, GOOD PRECAUTIONS TO BE ABLE TO PROTECT THEIR EMPLOYEES AND PROTECT THE PUBLIC, WE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW ABOUT IT AND GO OUT AND SHOOT VIDEO OF THEIR ESTABLISHMENT AND POTENTIALLY WORK WITH THE MEDIA TO HIGHLIGHT THAT. 
          BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ASKING WHAT, WHAT EXACTLY THAT MEANS. 
          AND IF WE CAN TAKE THE BEST PRACTICES THAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE COMMUNITY AND SHARE THEM 
          [03:30:01]
WITH OTHER BUSINESSES IN THE COMMUNITY, IT'LL ONLY HELP, UH, EVERYBODY STICK TO THE ORDER. 
          WELL, I THINK OUR FRIEND, UH, JEFF OVER AT PICNIC AND SEASON'S IN DISTRICT ONE, I BELIEVE, AND HE'S IN MY DISTRICT AS WELL, IS, IS THE POSTER CHILD FOR DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY. 
          UM, I'LL ALSO REMIND YOU ALL THAT, YOU KNOW, UM, THIS WHOLE WEEK I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING JUST TO GET MY HANDS ON SOME OF THOSE, YOU KNOW, INFRARED, UH, THERMOMETERS, JUST A HANDFUL OF THEM. 
          UH, BECAUSE THE BATTERED WOMEN AND CHILDREN'S SHELTER RAN, YOU KNOW, DOES ONLY HAD ONE OF THOSE THERMOMETERS. 
          THEY, THEY'VE NEVER NEEDED TO MONITOR, UH, TEMPERATURES, UH, THE WAY THEY ARE NEED TO RIGHT NOW. 
          AND SO WE'VE BEEN SCRAMBLING AND, UM, YOU KNOW, APRIL AND SIERRA CAME THROUGH AND, UH, DONATED SOME THERM, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THOSE THERMOMETERS. 
          AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF BUSINESSES OUT THERE THAT ARE, THAT ARE DOING SOMETHING THAT THEY USUALLY DON'T HAVE TO DO, UH, OR ARE ACCUSTOMED TO DOING. 
          UM, AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE HEROES, UH, WHICH IS WHY, AND IT BRINGS ME TO WHAT I'M HEARING ABOUT CERTAIN BUSINESSES FLOUTING, UH, THE EMERGENCY ORDER, AND, UH, HOPING THAT, YOU KNOW, NO ONE WILL NOTICE AND PLAYING REALLY CUTE WITH IT. 
          AND, UM, I APPRECIATE COUNCILMAN TREVINO REACHING OUT TO THAT GYM, UM, AND FIXING THAT SITUATION. 
          BUT I AM ALSO HEARING FROM CALL CENTER EMPLOYEES, UM, THAT, AND, YOU KNOW, YES, CODE ENFORCEMENT WILL SHOW UP AND, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL REARRANGE THE CHAIRS AND THEN, YOU KNOW, IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE REARRANGING THEM BACK AFTER Y'ALL LEAVE. 
          UH, ANDY AND, AND ERIC, I, I THINK THAT NOBODY CAN PLEAD IGNORANCE AT THIS POINT, UM, THAT THIS EMERGENCY ORDER IS IN EFFECT. 
          UH, I THINK EVERYBODY IN SAN ANTONIO KNOWS WHAT IT SAYS, AND YOU KNOW, WHO IT EXEMPTS AND WHO IT DOESN'T. 
          UM, IT IS, IT'S JUST REPREHENSIBLE, UH, TO ME THAT CALL CENTERS AND OTHER FOLKS OUT THERE TRYING TO SKATE BY AND, AND HOPING THAT THEY'RE NOT GONNA GET CAUGHT. 
          AND I THINK THAT WE SEND THE WRONG MESSAGE WHEN WE SAY, HEY, THE ONLY THING WE'RE GONNA DO IS JUST EDUCATE PEOPLE, EDUCATE PEOPLE. 
          THERE COMES A POINT, AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT LINE IS DRAWN, ERIC, UH, OR ANDY, MAYBE YOU CAN TELL ME, AT WHAT POINT DO WE CITE PEOPLE? UM, BECAUSE THERE HAS TO BE A LINE DRAWN SOMEWHERE, RIGHT? BECAUSE IF OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IS TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM DYING, UM, AND WE'VE GOT PEOPLE OUT THERE LIKE SOME OF THESE CALL CENTERS WHO ARE TRYING TO DELIBERATELY FRUSTRATE, UH, OUR EFFORT TO, YOU KNOW, SAVE PEOPLE'S LIVES, WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS THEY'RE INTENTIONALLY PUTTING MY CONSTITUENTS, UH, AT RISK, THEIR EMPLOYEES AT RISK, THEMSELVES AT RISK, AND THEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, MY OWN KIDS AT RISK. 
          AND THAT'S JUST THAT, THAT'S WHERE, UM, YOU KNOW, IT BECOMES PERSONAL FOR ME. 
          AND SO, UM, I I, I, I'M LOOKING FOR, YOU KNOW, SOME COMMITMENT FROM SOMEBODY THAT THERE IS A LINE AND THAT WE WILL CITE FOLKS, UM, YOU KNOW, WHO PLAY FAST AND LOOSE AND ARE TAKING THE LIVES OF THEIR NEIGHBORS. 
          UM, NOT THAT SERIOUSLY. 
          ERIC, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN REASSURE ME THAT THERE IS A LINE, UH, THERE IS A LINE COUNCILMAN, AND I THINK, UH, THE EXAMPLE THAT, UH, ROD TALKED ABOUT IN COUNCILWOMAN, COUNCILMAN TREVINO TALKED ABOUT, AND I THINK COUNCILMAN COURAGE WAS PART OF THAT AS WELL. 
          UM, WE WILL HAVE TO ISSUE CITATIONS, AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT, UM, UH, DAILY WHEN I MEET WITH THE TEAM AND I GET MY, AND I GET THE, UH, ENFORCEMENT REPORT, UM, WE ARE PREPARED TO ISSUE CITATIONS. 
          AND, UM, THAT, THAT IS NOT THE FIRST, UH, HURDLE. 
          THE FIRST HURDLE IS EDUCATION. 
          BUT IF WE NEED TO, IF WE GET REPEAT CALLS, UH, WE WILL ISSUE CITATIONS AND TAKE ENFORCEMENT SERIOUSLY. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, I I, WHAT I TELL MY, UH, MY CLIENTS IS IF YOU, YOU KNOW, IF YOUR EMPLOYER IS VIOLATING, YOU KNOW, FEDERAL OR STATE LAW, TAKE A PICTURE, UM, THAT'LL BE YOUR BEST FORM OF EVIDENCE AT A LATER DATE. 
          UH, AND SO, I MEAN, IF THERE'S ANY CALL CENTER EMPLOYEES OUT THERE WHO ARE WONDERING WHAT THEY CAN DO TO PROTECT THEMSELVES, UM, TAKE A PHOTO OF YOUR EMPLOYER VIOLATING IT, AND PLEASE SEND IT TO ME. 
          I'LL CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, SEND IT OFF TO THE CITY MANAGER AND, UH, CODE ENFORCEMENT. 
          AND, UH, ERIC, I'M, I'M GONNA INSIST THAT WE, UM, THAT WE PUT SOME HEADS ON STAKES JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE SERIOUS ABOUT THIS. 
          WE CAN SAY EDUCATION ALL DAY LONG, BUT YOU KNOW, IF FOLK, I MEAN, THIS IS NOT KIDDING AROUND TIME, RIGHT? AND SO, UM, ANYWAY, UH, I WILL END, UH, AGAIN BY REITERATING THAT MAYOR, UH, AND ERIC, UH, PLEASE CONTINUE TO KEEP ME INFORMED. 
          I KNOW YOU WILL. 
          BUT, UM, THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION AND THE AMOUNT OF CON, YOU KNOW, CONNECTION AND ENGAGEMENT I'M GETTING FROM YOU IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED. 
          AND IT'S EXACTLY WHAT REASSURES MY, MY CONSTITUENTS WHEN, WHEN I CIRCLE BACK WITH THEM AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          AND SO, UH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MAYOR, THAT, THAT, THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. 
          THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER PIAS. 
          AND, AND IF I COULD JUST PIGGYBACK ON THE ISSUE OF ENFORCEMENT, JUST PLEASE REMEMBER THAT, UH, THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO IS WITHIN BEX COUNTY, AND BEXAR 
          [03:35:01]
COUNTY HAS FULL INTENT OF USING THEIR LAW ENFORCEMENT AS WELL TO FIND AND POTENTIALLY JAIL ANY EGREGIOUS OFFENDERS OF THE ORDER. 
          SO PEOPLE DO NEED TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. 
          WE ARE NOT SUGGESTING THAT YOU STAY AT HOME. 
          IF YOU'RE NOT ENGAGED IN A CRITICAL SERVICE OR ACTIVITY, YOU MUST STAY AT HOME. 
          CAN'T MAKE THAT ANY MORE CLEAR FOR FOLKS. 
          OKAY. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER COURAGE. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA SAY SOMETHING THAT ALMOST, EXCUSE ME, SOUNDS CONTRADICTORY, CONTRADICTORY TO WHAT YOU JUST SAID, BUT IT ISN'T, IT ISN'T INTENDED TO BE THAT WAY, BUT AS SERIOUS AS, AND IMPORTANT AS THE SITUATION IS THAT WE, WE, UH, FIND OURSELVES IN, UH, PEOPLE ARE NOT UNDER A POLICE STATE, AND WE'RE NOT UNDER MARSHALL LAW, OUR PURPOSE IS TO LIMIT THE GATHERINGS OF PEOPLE, WHETHER IT'S AT WORK OR IN THE COMMUNITY, TO SIMPLY FIGHT THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. 
          AND TO MY WAY OF THINKING, ALTHOUGH THE MAYOR JUST SAID, YOU KNOW, STAY AT HOME, SURE, BUT IF YOU NEED TO GO GET GROCERIES, GO GET GROCERIES. 
          IF YOU NEED TO GO AHEAD AND GET SOMETHING TO WORK ON YOUR GARDEN, GO GET SOMETHING. 
          TAKE IT HOME. 
          WORK IN YOUR GARDEN. 
          IF YOU WANNA WALK YOUR DOG, WALK YOUR DOG, OR EVEN JOG, OR EVEN RIDING YOUR BIKE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AS LONG AS WE RECOGNIZE THE SOCIAL DISTANCING THAT PROTECTS US ALL, THEN WE HOPEFULLY CAN CONTINUE OUR LIVES UNDER THE KIND OF RESTRICTIONS WE FIND OURSELVES IN OVER THE SHORT TERM. 
          BUT TODAY, AT THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING, WE'RE LOOKING AT THINGS REALLY FROM A LONG-TERM, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE THE LONG-TERM REPERCUSSIONS OF ALL THAT WE KNOW IS GOING ON IN THE CITY TODAY? BUT AGAIN, I WANT PEOPLE TO REALIZE, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN WALK IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU CAN EVEN GO TO A PARK, BUT JUST MAINTAIN THAT SOCIAL DISTANCING, BE HEALTHY, BUT BE WISE ABOUT IT. 
          BUT I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. 
          AND, AND SOME OF THEM REGARD, UH, ARE PEOPLE GETTING THE NUTRITION AND THE FOOD THAT THEY, THEY NEED? SO ONE QUESTION I WANT TO ASK IS, UM, AND, AND MAYBE CHIEF HOOD KNOWS THIS, OR, OR MAYBE THE, UM, YOU KNOW, THE COLLABORATIVE EFFORT CAN TELL US THIS. 
          HAVE WE UNDERSTOOD WHAT THE PERCENTAGE OF DELIVERY THE SCHOOLS ARE ABLE TO PRODUCE IN THE FOOD SERVICES THEY'RE PROVIDING? IN OTHER WORDS, ARE, ARE THEY FEEDING A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE KIDS, 90%, 80%? ARE WE GETTING ANY REPORTS FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO LET US KNOW? I'M GONNA LET, I'M GONNA LET ERIC ANSWER THAT QUESTION, COUNCILMAN. 
          UM, WE, WE DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION. 
          HUMAN SERVICES HAS BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE FOOD BANK, BUT THAT'S, UH, UM, THAT, THAT'S INFORMATION WE CAN GET. 
          YEAH, I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD HAVE, UH, YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD KNOW BECAUSE THERE MAY BE 10, 15, 20% OF THE, THE SCHOOL POPULATION OF YOUNG CHILDREN WHO AREN'T GETTING FOOD TODAY, BECAUSE MAYBE THE, THE PARENTS DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO PICK IT UP, OR FOR SOME REASON IT'S NOT GETTING DELIVERED TO THEIR HOME. 
          SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT. 
          AT THE SAME TIME, ARE WE CONTACTING, UH, SENIOR LIVING CENTERS, RETIREMENT CENTERS? ARE WE CONTACTING NURSING HOMES? ARE WE CONTACTING GROUP HOMES TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE ALL THE SUPPLIES THEY NEED TO PROTECT THEIR SENIORS, PEOPLE IN THE GROUP HOMES, WHATEVER. 
          AND AT THE SAME TIME, ARE THEY GETTING THE FOOD THAT THEY NEED TO PROVIDE FOR THOSE PEOPLE? YES, SIR. 
          SO, AND I CAN SAY FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF MY UNCLE BEING IN A NURSING HOME, I CAN'T TAKE HIM FOOD. 
          SO THEY HAVE TO EAT IN THEIR ROOMS. THEY CAN'T HAVE THE COMMUNAL DINING THAT THEY NORMALLY HAVE. 
          AND SO, BUT AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER, WE'VE HAD SURVEILLANCE ON THE NURSING HOMES AND CARE FACILITIES FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. 
          WE'VE BEEN TO EVERY SINGLE ONE THAT WE KNOW ABOUT. 
          WE'VE IDENTIFIED 'EM, WE'VE LOOKED AT THE BEST WAYS FOR US TO GET IN THEM, THE BEST WAYS FOR US TO GET OUT WITH LIMITING CONTACT TO EACH ONE OF THOSE FACILITIES. 
          SO WE'VE DONE AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF WORK WITH OUR SENIOR CENTERS, WITH OUR CARE FACILITIES, WITH OUR BOARDING HOMES, UM, IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. 
          OKAY. 
          GOOD. 
          UM, JEFF, I HAD A QUESTION. 
          WHEN WE, UM, ASK PEOPLE TO GO ONLINE AND RESPOND TO THE F FAQS, UH, SO THEY GET MORE INFORMATION, HAVE WE PUT OUT A QUESTION ON THERE, UH, ABOUT ARE YOU HUNGRY? SO THAT AS PEOPLE GO ON TO C OVID 19, THEY MAY ASK ABOUT 
          [03:40:01]
FOOD. 
          A SIMPLE QUESTION THAT MAY BE, HELP US TRACK PEOPLE THAT ARE FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS. 
          WE'RE NOT ASKING THAT QUESTION OF PEOPLE IN THE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS. 
          IT'S MORE OF THE QUESTIONS THEY'RE ASKING US AND ANSWERING THEM. 
          BUT WE ARE ABSOLUTELY D WORKING WITH AND, AND STEERING PEOPLE TO THE FOOD BANK WHO NEED IT. 
          I KNOW OUR CALL TAKERS ARE DOING THAT. 
          WE'VE GOT INFORMATION ON THE PAGE. 
          UM, AND, AND I'LL ADD, THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A SIDEBAR, BUT ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT THE STATE HAS DONE, THE GOVERNOR HAS DONE, IS ASK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO ALLOW SNAP BENEFITS TO BE USED FOR TAKEOUT AND RESTAURANT PURCHASES, NOT JUST FOR GROCERIES TO BE ABLE TO HELP PEOPLE RIGHT NOW, BUT I KNOW THAT'S NOT AN ANSWER, DIRECT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION. 
          I'M JUST WONDERING IF MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING WE COULDN'T PUT ON THERE. 
          JUST A BLOCK THEY CAN FILL IN. 
          DO YOU HAVE A NEED? MM-HMM. 
          , FOOD, OTHER SUPPORT MM-HMM. 
          , YOU KNOW, MAYBE PICKING UP MEDIC MEDICINE, STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          LET US EXPLORE THAT AND WE CAN INFER THAT. 
          I KNOW SURE. 
          COUNCILMAN CAN LET ME, UH, INTERJECT THERE. 
          I MET AT THE, MY CONCLUDING REMARKS. 
          I, I TALKED ABOUT FOOD AND SHELTER AND, AND, AND I DO THINK THAT AS A COMMUNITY, UM, WE, WE NEED TO PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO, UH, FOOD AND THE AVAILABILITY AND, UM, YOU KNOW, ENSURING THAT WHETHER THEY'RE DRIVE-IN RESTAURANTS OR GROCERY STORES OR THE FOOD BANK, THAT WE THINK THROUGH THAT ISSUE, NOT JUST RIGHT NOW, BUT OVER THE NEXT MONTH. 
          AND, AND, AND I THINK WE NEED TO PROBABLY DO A BETTER JOB OF THAT. 
          AND, AND WHEN I SAY WE, I DON'T MEAN THE CITY, I MEAN, KIND OF COLLECTIVELY AS A COMMUNITY. 
          AND, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE PROBABLY NEED TO START TACKLING AND, AND CINCHING UP PRETTY QUICKLY. 
          RIGHT. 
          I AGREE. 
          AND BY THE WAY, I WANNA COMMEND THE FOOD BANK. 
          YOU KNOW, THEY WERE FEEDING ABOUT 58,000 PEOPLE, UH, BEFORE THIS CRISIS REALLY HIT, UH, THAT WAS PER DAY. 
          NOW THEY'RE FEEDING TWICE AS MANY 118,000 MEALS, UH, A DAY, THREE TIMES A DAY GOING OUT TO PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY. 
          SO THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB, BUT WE JUST NEED TO ENSURE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THAT THERE AREN'T PEOPLE FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS. 
          UH, DON I HAD A QUESTION OR TWO. 
          UM, COUNCILMAN, I'M, I'M GONNA TAKE MY BEST SWIPE AT, DON HAD A MEETING WITH UT HEALTH OKAY. 
          ON OUR MODELING. 
          SO I, I'LL, I'LL DO MY BEST. 
          WELL, YOU PROBABLY CAN'T ANSWER THIS, BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO UNDERSTAND. 
          UM, THERE'S BEEN GUIDELINES TALKED ABOUT THAT, THAT, UH, A COMMUNITY SHOULD MEET TO SHOW THAT THEY'RE CLEAR OF A VIRUS, AND THAT IS NO NEW CASES IN 14 DAYS. 
          THAT'S WHAT, UH, THE C D C HAS LOOKED AT. 
          THAT'S WHAT THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION HAS LOOKED AT TO SAY A COUNTRY IS CLEAR OF SOME KIND OF AN INFECTION. 
          ARE WE GOING TO FOLLOW THAT SAME RECOMMENDATION TO SAY SAN ANTONIO HAS BECOME CLEAR OF THE VIRUS? WELL, I CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION, COUNCIL. 
          I DIDN'T THINK YOU COULD, BUT I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD KNOW. 
          SO, UH, WE, WE ARE, AND THE COMMUNITY SHOULD KNOW. 
          YEAH. 
          WE, WE ARE FOLLOWING, UM, IN EVERYTHING WE DO C D C GUIDANCE AND, AND UNLESS THAT GUIDANCE CHANGES BETWEEN NOW AND WE, WHEN WE HIT THAT PERIOD, THAT'S OUR INTENTION. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, I HAD ANOTHER, UH, QUESTION, UH, AT THE AIRPORT. 
          ARE WE TAKING TEMPERATURES MONITORING PEOPLE WHO ARRIVE AT THE AIRPORT NO MATTER WHERE THEY'RE FROM? UH, NO, SIR. 
          WE'RE NOT DOING THAT. 
          UM, THAT IS, WE'RE FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS OF THE, UH, F A A ON ON HOW TO RESPOND HERE TO AIRPORTS. 
          THERE, THERE ARE. 
          UM, AND THAT MAY CHANGE, UH, BUT WE'RE NOT DOING YEAH. 
          'CAUSE WE DID IT HERE, THERE, THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THEY, WHEN THEY'RE ARRIVING, THEY'VE BEEN ON AN AIRPORT SOMEPLACE ELSE, ALL THE ARRIVALS. 
          UM, NOT SURE WHAT YOU WOULD DO WITH, WITH THAT OTHER THAN ALERT FOLKS, BUT, UH, WE'LL CERTAINLY MONITOR WHAT THE F A A RECOMMENDS AND, AND FOLLOW OUR HEALTH DEPARTMENT, UH, AND C D C GUIDELINES. 
          WELL, I DON'T KNOW THAT THE F A A IS EVER GOING TO COMPLAIN IF WE DO MORE THAN THEY RECOMMEND. 
          AND A LARGE NUMBER OF THE INFECTIONS THAT WE'VE HAD ARE FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE TRAVELED. 
          SURE. 
          AND WE'RE STILL HAVING PEOPLE COME IN, ADMITTEDLY AT, AT SMALLER NUMBERS. 
          BUT, UH, I, I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT MAYBE WE'RE MISSING THAT WE OUGHT TO BE CONSIDERING. 
          UM, MARIA, YOU HAD TALKED ABOUT THE FINANCIAL CONDITIONS. 
          AND ONE THING I DID NOT HEAR YOU PUT INTO YOUR ESTIMATES WAS THE, UH, INCOME SOURCES THAT THE CITY IS GETTING FROM C P S AND SAWS, AND PARTICULARLY C P SS. 
          AND RIGHT NOW, UH, THEY'RE NOT SHUTTING OFF ANYBODY'S BILL, SO THEY'RE 
          [03:45:01]
ACCUMULATING MORE EXPENSES GOING OUT, AND THEY MAY NOT RECUPERATE ALL OF THOSE COMING IN. 
          HAVE YOU SAT DOWN AND TALKED WITH THEM ON THEIR PROJECTIONS? BECAUSE AS YOU'VE SAID, THAT'S A BIG PART OF OUR REVENUE. 
          WE HAD SOME, UH, PRELIMINARY CONVERSATIONS WITH C P S IN PARTICULAR. 
          UH, UH, WE DON'T HAVE ANY, ANY DEFINITE NUMBERS, BUT WE ARE, UM, AWARE THAT WE MAY SEE A DROP IN OUR REVENUES FROM BOTH UTILITIES. 
          WE HAVEN'T SAT DOWN WITH, WITH SAUCE YET. 
          BUT, UM, BUT WE ARE AWARE THAT THAT'S DEFINITELY A POSSIBILITY. 
          WELL, YOU KNOW, WE WERE LOOKING AT 54 MILLION OR SOMETHING UP TO 75 MILLION. 
          UH, THAT'S A BIG SPREAD, BUT THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY. 
          I WAS LOOKING AT OUR BUDGET, AND IF YOU LOOK AT OUR GENERAL FUND AND YOU TAKE OUT THE COST OF, UH, FIRST RESPONDERS, YOU'VE GOT ABOUT $470 MILLION LEFT OVER, AND 50 OR 75% OF THAT IS ANYWHERE FROM 12 TO 16% OF OUR BUDGET WE MAY NOT GET. 
          AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT, IF WE'RE GONNA LOSE 10 OR 15 MILLION FROM, UH, C P S OR SAWS, I THINK THAT WE NEED TO SEE THAT IN SOME OF OUR FORECASTS AS WE LOOK AT THIS MORE. 
          AND WE'LL INCLUDE THAT COUNCILMAN AS WE CONTINUE REFINING OUR PROJECTIONS. 
          TO YOUR POINT, WE ONLY LOOKED AT SOME OF THE REVENUES WITHIN THE GENERAL FUND THAT WE HAVE, UH, DATA THAT INDICATES THAT WE HAVE SEEN A DROP. 
          UH, BUT ABSOLUTELY, YOUR YOUR POINT IS WELL TAKEN. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT FOOD, THAT WAS ONE OTHER THING I WANTED TO MENTION. 
          UM, THERE'S ANOTHER ORGANIZATION THAT WANTS TO GO AHEAD AND PROVIDE MORE MEALS, BUT THEY NEED FINANCIAL SUPPORT. 
          IS THE CITY D H S OR ANY DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY WITHIN THE CITY PREPARED TO UNDERWRITE, UH, ORGANIZATIONS LIKE A, A CHURCH OR ANOTHER NONPROFIT THAT SAYS, WE COULD DELIVER 2,003,000 MEALS A DAY, BUT WE NEED TO PAY FOR THE PRODUCT THAT WE GET TO COOK AND DELIVER. 
          SO, IS, IS THAT IN ANY PLANS THAT WE HAVE? NO, IT'S NOT COUNCILMAN. 
          AND I THINK WE NEED TO START PLANNING FOR ACCORDINGLY, UH, WITH OUR, WITH OUR PARTNERS. 
          YEAH. 
          'CAUSE I THINK IT'S GONNA GET MORE SERIOUS BEFORE IT EASES UP. 
          SO YOU, YOU KNOW, AND I, AND I, AND I, TO THAT EXTENT, UM, UH, I AM AWARE THAT, THAT THE FOOD BANK HAS MADE REQUESTS THROUGH THE STATE FOR FEMA ASSISTANCE AND, UM, AND, AND WE NEED TO WORK WITH THEM, UH, ON THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT, BUT THAT IS A, YOU KNOW, OUTSIDE OF THE, THE RESPONSE THAT THAT BECOMES A COMMUNITY RESPONSE ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH, UH, AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND THE FOOD BANK, UH, TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD DO MORE IF THEY HAD MORE RESOURCES, AND THAT COULD BE VOLUNTEERS TO HELP COOKING OR THE ABILITY TO BUY MORE OF THE ACTUAL PRODUCT THEY NEED TO GO AHEAD AND PREPARE THOSE DAILY MEALS AS OPPOSED TO SO MUCH ELSE THAT THEY RECEIVE. 
          SO ANYWAY, UH, YEAH, I THINK IT'S JUST A MAJOR CONCERN WE NEED TO LOOK AT. 
          UM, I MADE A LOT OF NOTES ALL OVER MY PAPER DURING EVERYBODY ELSE'S QUESTIONS, WHICH WERE VERY GOOD, AND I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I DON'T MISS ANYTHING. 
          UM, I WANT TO COMMEND U S A A, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE GIVEN OVER A MILLION DOLLARS TO LOCAL AREA NONPROFITS RECENTLY. 
          SO, UH, IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT SOME OF OUR BUSINESSES IN THE COMMUNITY ARE REALLY STEPPING UP. 
          UM, I GUESS THIS IS NOT SOMETHING RELATED DIRECTLY TO TODAY, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO BE TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE THE C OVID 19 VIRUS IS IMPACTING THIS. 
          AND I ASKED THE CITY MANAGER WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR MAY 2ND ELECTIONS. 
          IS THERE SOME KIND OF A DEADLINE THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS AS A COUNCIL ABOUT THESE? UH, I KNOW THOSE ELECTIONS ARE RUN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COUNTY AND 26 OTHER COMMUNITIES IN BEXAR COUNTY, BUT WHAT ARE WE HEARING? WHAT'S GOING ON? SO, UH, TODAY, THE, UH, PRE-K FOR SA BOARD IS MEETING TO DEVELOP A RECOMMENDATION THAT WILL BE ON THE COUNCIL'S AGENDA NEXT WEEK, NEXT THURSDAY, UH, TO, UM, REMOVE THAT ITEM FROM THE MAY ELECTION. 
          I, I SUSPECT THAT'LL BE THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE BOARD. 
          AND WE'LL HAVE AN ACTION ITEM ON, UH, FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION NEXT WEEK. 
          UH, I HAD A, A THOUGHT, AND I SHARED IT WITH THE MAYOR, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE, BUT SINCE THE CITY MANA, I MEAN, THE, UH, GOVERNOR HAS MOVED THE, UM, THE PRIMARY ELECTION RUNOFFS TO THE MIDDLE OF JULY, RATHER THAN POSTPONING OUR MAY ELECTION ALL THE WAY UNTIL NEXT NOVEMBER, COULD THE GOVERNOR GIVE US PERMISSION TO TIE IN THAT ELECTION 
          [03:50:01]
WITH THAT JULY ELECTION AND GET IT DONE SOONER INSTEAD OF ADDING IT TO THE BOTTOM OF A HUGE ELECTION IN NOVEMBER? 'CAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD PURSUE. 
          COUNCILMAN, WE COULD CERTAINLY ASK THAT QUESTION. 
          THE GOVERNOR, WHEN HE ISSUED HIS ORDER RELATED TO MAY ELECTIONS, BECAUSE IT'S A UNIFORM ELECTION DATE, AND THOSE ARE UNIFORM ELECTION ITEMS THAT MOVE, IT, SET THE AUTHORITY TO REMOVE IT DIRECTLY TO NOVEMBER ON ANOTHER UNIFORM ELECTION DATE. 
          UM, THAT WAS BEFORE HE SET THE DATES IN JULY. 
          SO I GUESS YOU COULD ASK THE QUESTION, BUT SO FAR THE AUTHORITY'S ONLY TO GO TO NOVEMBER. 
          AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT RIGHT NOW IT'S ONLY MOVING IT TO ANOTHER UNIFORM ELECTION DATE. 
          COUNCILMAN. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, I THOUGHT WE MIGHT ASK, UH, MAYOR, I THINK THAT CONCLUDES MY QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER COURAGE. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER GONZALEZ. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          AND, AND JUST LET ME START WITH THE QUESTIONS THAT I MEANT TO ASK LAST TIME AND, UM, THEN GOT SIDETRACKED. 
          UH, IN TALKING TO SOME OF OUR NONPROFIT AGENCIES, WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE RAPIDLY SHIFTING THE WORK THAT THEY DO, UH, AND ARE OFTEN NOT QUITE AS NIMBLE AND DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES. 
          THEY MADE A REQUEST TO, UM, ASK THAT WE CANCEL THE R F P PROCESS, UH, AND ALLOW THEM A YEAR EXTENSION, UH, TO RESUBMIT AND, UH, REEVALUATE THE NEED. 
          AND SO I WOULD ASK ERIC TO, UH, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT IS, UH, A ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION AND NOT A COUNCIL ACTION, THAT I DON'T NEED TO MAKE A MOTION FOR THAT. 
          UM, THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE ADMINISTRATIVELY. 
          CAN YOU GIVE US DIRECTION ON THAT? YES, MA'AM. 
          UH, I HEARD THAT, UH, YESTERDAY AS WELL. 
          UM, WE'LL, WE'LL TAKE THAT UNDER CONSIDERATION. 
          UH, I THINK PEOPLE HAVE A LOT ON THEIR PLATE RIGHT NOW, RATHER THAN FILLING OUT RFPS AND, UM, AND, AND TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AS WE DO OUR FINANCIAL ANALYSIS ON WHAT OUR SPENDING IS. 
          UM, AND, UM, HOPEFULLY GIVE YOU BACK A RECOMMENDATION HERE AT THE NEXT BRIEFING ON, ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO COVER SOME OF THOSE, UH, FISCAL CHALLENGES THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY PRELIMINARY PROJECTING. 
          AND CAN YOU REMIND ME WHAT THE DATES WERE FOR THOSE RFPS AND WHAT THAT, UM, WHAT THE SCHEDULE WAS FOR THOSE? AND, AND I'M, I'M ASKING FOR IT. 
          YEAH. 
          UH, SO THAT, UM, IF THEY'RE ASKING, MOST OF THEM KNOW WHAT THE DEADLINES ARE, BUT YEAH, I, BUT BEN, DO, DO YOU KNOW THE DATES OF THE R F P COUNCILMAN? I, I DON'T HAVE THE SPECIFIC DATES. 
          I KNOW THAT IT WAS TO BE ISSUED SOON AND TO COME BACK PRIOR TO THE SUMMER SO THAT WE WOULD HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS AS PART OF THE CITY MANAGER'S PROPOSED BUDGET. 
          BUT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PROCUREMENTS THAT WE ARE, WE HAVEN'T EVEN ISSUED YET THAT WE'RE HOLDING. 
          SO I SUSPECT WE'RE GONNA BE COMING BACK TO YOU WITH A LARGER CONVERSATION ABOUT MAYBE NEEDING TO EXTEND OTHER CONTRACTS AS WELL. 
          UH, OKAY. 
          WELL, GOOD. 
          WELL, AND I THINK WE'LL JUST AS ADDRESS 'EM AS THEY COME THERE, REQUEST, UM, THAT I RECEIVED WAS SPECIFICALLY FOR SOME NONPROFITS IN THE AREA SAYING THAT THEY CAN NO LONGER PROVIDE THE SERVICES THAT THEY WERE PROVIDING. 
          THEREFORE, IT, IT JUST WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE FOR THEM TO FILL OUT THE R F P, ESPECIALLY THOSE RELATED TO SENIOR SERVICES AND AFTERCARE WORK AND SUMMER PROGRAMMING. 
          THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE GONNA STAND WHEN ALL THAT STUFF HAPPENED. 
          SO, UH, I WILL REQUEST THAT YOU ALL TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION, UH, AS WE'RE ADDRESSING ALL OF OUR BUDGETS. 
          I IMAGINE THAT AT LEAST THE CURRENT FUNDING WAS ALREADY SET ASIDE. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          UM, LET ME, LET ME BE A LITTLE BIT MORE, UM, DIRECT ABOUT THE ANSWER. 
          AND AS BEN SAID, THERE'S PROBABLY GONNA BE A NUMBER OF CONTRACTS THAT WE HAVE TO EXTEND FOR SERVICES, BUT, UM, NOT KNOWING WHAT THE FISCAL IMPACT IS, UM, TO F Y 20, UH, AND F Y 21, IT'S HARD TO PROJECT, UH, WHAT THE IMPACT IS GOING TO BE ON EVERYTHING WE DO. 
          UM, BUT THE EXTENSION OF SERVICES AND, AND, AND, AND THERE MAY BE SOME PROCUREMENT CONTRACTS THAT WE NEED TO DO THAT ON AS WELL, UH, IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT IN THIS TURBULENT TIME, FOLKS AREN'T DEALING WITH, UH, BIDS OR RFPS, BECAUSE I THINK EVERYBODY IS BUSY RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY IN THAT NONPROFIT CIRCLE. 
          UH, A LOT OF OUR VENDORS ARE EXTREMELY BUSY AND, AND WE'RE GONNA NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE, UH, ARE PREPARED TO MOVE QUICKLY WHEN WE NEED TO. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          THANK YOU, UH, ERIC, FOR THAT. 
          AND I THINK THAT'LL GIVE HIM SOME RELIEF, AT LEAST TO HEAR THAT WE'RE TAKING THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. 
          UM, A COUPLE OF THINGS, UH, ALSO, UM, THAT AS, AND I HOPE, UM, IT LOOKS THAT SOMEBODY CAN ANSWER THE QUESTION, UM, REGARDING THE MAPPING AND SORT OF THE HIGHLIGHTED AREAS WHERE THERE'S BEEN CASES CONFIRMED, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NONE IN DISTRICT FIVE AND NONE IN THE NEAR SOUTH SIDE, KIND OF IN THE SORT OF LOWER 
          [03:55:01]
SOUTHEAST SIDE. 
          UM, IS THERE ANY REASON FOR THAT, UH, OR, UM, IS THERE, I DON'T KNOW. 
          UM, I, IF IT'S JUST ANECDOTAL OR IS IT, HAS THERE BEEN A LACK OF TESTING? WE KNOW THAT PEOPLE IN THESE AREAS THAT LOW INCOME AREAS DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTH INSURANCE AND PERHAPS DON'T HAVE, UM, PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS? OR IS IT PERHAPS BECAUSE WE ALSO DON'T TRAVEL AS MUCH AND, UH, ARE NOT WORKING IN INDUSTRIES THAT ARE HIGHLY IMPACTED? I THINK, AND, AND DR. 
          BRIDGER CAN ADD HER PIECE IF SHE'D LIKE. 
          UM, I, I THINK PART OF THAT IS MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE, UH, TAKING THE DATA FOR THE FIRST TIME AND MAPPING IT SO THAT WE CAN BE BEGIN TO AN ASK THOSE QUESTIONS. 
          AND, AND I THINK ONE OF THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS ASKED ABOUT HEALTHCARE, UH, AVAILABILITY FOR, UH, UH, FOLKS IN, IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT, THAT MAY NOT HAVE A, A DOCTOR AND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PROVIDERS SUCH AS COMMUNICA. 
          UM, AS WE GET MORE DATA AND WE START TO LOOK AT IT, I THINK THAT'LL GIVE US MAYBE THE TECHNICAL INFORMATION TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE COMMUNICATING, UH, AND, AND ENSURING THAT SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE. 
          SO I THINK THIS IS A GOOD STEP FORWARD. 
          AND I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY OTHER CITY THAT HAS, UH, BEEN ABLE TO BOIL IT DOWN TO ZIP CODE. 
          UH, DR. 
          BRIDGER, IF, DO YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING? NO, NOTHING TO ADD. 
          SO I, I KNOW THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BECAUSE WE'RE, UH, AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR THIS INFORMATION BECAUSE SOMEBODY ASKED ME FOR IT, AND I SAID, WE'RE NOT GONNA PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION. 
          BECAUSE I THINK THAT PERHAPS IT WOULD MAKE IT WORSE IF PEOPLE SAID, WELL, I'M NOT GONNA GO TO CERTAIN PARTS OF TOWN BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THEY HAVE THE HIGHEST INCIDENT, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE PREPARED TO GIVE THAT INFORMATION. 
          SO, UM, AND, AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, THIS, THIS MAPPING, UM, THE ONE WITH THE RED CIRCLES AND, UH, THOSE ARE CONFIRMED CASES. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S THE FI THAT'S THE 498 POSITIVE. 
          UM, I'M SORRY. 
          RATHER THAT'S THE 50 POSITIVE CASES, OR THAT'S ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN TESTED. 
          THAT'S THOSE 78 CASES THAT WERE POSITIVE. 
          UM, THE, THE NUMBER ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IS JUST METRO HEALTH SPECIFIC. 
          THE NUMBER ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE IS COMMUNITY WIDE. 
          THAT INCLUDES PRIVATE LABS. 
          AND WHAT YOU SEE MAPPED IS THE HOME ADDRESS OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TESTING POSITIVE. 
          OKAY. 
          AND IT'S NOT THE ACTUAL ADDRESS. 
          'CAUSE WE DON'T WANNA, BUT IT'S NOT LIKE WHERE THEY WERE DIAGNOSED OR WHAT HOSPITAL THEY WERE IN OR ANY OF THAT. 
          IT'S, IT'S THEIR RESIDENCE. 
          IT'S THE RESIDENCE, AND OF COURSE, WE DON'T GIVE OUT THAT INFORMATION. 
          RIGHT, RIGHT. 
          UM, AND ALSO JUST REGARDING THIS INFORMATION, THE PEOPLE, UM, WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE THE NUMBER OF CASES THAT WERE TRAVEL RELATED, THE NUMBER OF CASES THAT WERE BY COMMUNITY CONTACT. 
          SO THAT INFORMATION IS ALSO MAPPED. 
          UH, I KNOW THAT MY CON CERTAIN CONSTITUENTS HAVE BEEN ASKING WHERE HAS THE COMMUNITY SPREAD BEEN? AND, YOU KNOW, I WAS RELUCTANT. 
          I I, FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T KNOW, BUT I WAS RELUCTANT TO GIVE THAT INFORMATION BECAUSE THEN AGAIN, PEOPLE ARE GONNA SAY, WELL, WE CAN ACT SOME WAY IN SOME AREAS, BUT IN OTHER WAYS NOT, I THINK YOUR INSTINCTS ARE, ARE SPOT ON COUNCILWOMAN, AND WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY MAPPING THAT INFORMATION WHERE THE COMMUNITY SPREAD IS. 
          OKAY. 
          CORRECT. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          WELL, THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          UM, UH, I KNOW, UM, SO IN SOME OF OUR COMMUNICATIONS, UH, WE KNOW THAT, UH, MOST OF THE WAY TO COMMUNICATE HAS BEEN THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE INTERNET. 
          WE KNOW THAT THE HARDEST TO REACH PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE. 
          UH, AND, UM, I KNOW THAT MY, IN THROUGH OUR, UH, CONVERSATIONS WITH THE NONPROFIT AGENCIES, COUNCIL MEMBER PALICE AND COUNCILMAN ANDREW SULLIVAN HAD A PHONE CONFERENCE WITH, UH, THE NONPROFIT COUNCIL PER, UH, THE MAYOR'S, UM, RECOMMENDATION. 
          AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY WERE SAYING WAS, UH, THAT PERHAPS WE COULD SEND HANDWRITTEN MATERIALS TO THE AREAS THAT WE'RE GETTING FOOD DISTRIBUTION. 
          ARE WE DOING THAT ALREADY OR IS THAT SOMETHING WE CAN ADD TO, UM, THOSE MEALS THAT ARE BEING DISTRIBUTED? GO AHEAD, COUNCILWOMAN. 
          JUST TO BE CLEAR, UH, THE FOOD BANK IS INSERTING FLYERS INTO THE BOXES THAT ARE BEING DISTRIBUTED TO HELP SPREAD INFORMATION. 
          OKAY. 
          AND, UM, WHAT ABOUT MEALS ON WHEELS? IS THAT ALL THE SAME DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM? I DON'T KNOW ABOUT MEALS ON WHEELS. 
          OKAY. 
          WE CAN CHECK. 
          UM, SO S C I S D HAS, UH, I, MY COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR'S BEEN IN CONTACT WITH SS C I S D, AND THEY ARE GONNA BE DISTRIBUTING CHROME, UH, LAPTOPS TO ALL OF THEIR STUDENTS AND ARE ALSO WILLING TO DISTRIBUTE THE INFORMATION. 
          SO I HOPE WE CAN HAVE THAT. 
          I MEAN, IT'S READY, IS THAT RIGHT? 
          [04:00:01]
UM, JEFF HAND, UH, LIKE PAMPHLETS OR, UH, YES. 
          INFORMATION. 
          WE, WE DO HAVE SEVERAL MATERIALS WE CAN USE. 
          UM, I, I, I, THE, UH, DOOR HANGERS THAT WE DID, WE DID TO, IN FACT, HERE'S A COPY OF WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE. 
          THANKS, GUYS. 
          UM, VERY EVERGREEN INFORMATION SO THAT IT DOESN'T BECOME DATED QUICKLY. 
          WE TALK ABOUT WHO'S AT THE HIGHEST RISK, THE VULNERABILITY. 
          WE TALK ABOUT SOME STEPS YOU CAN DO TO REDUCE YOUR RISK. 
          AND THEN WE HAVE THE WEBSITE AND 3 1 1 NUMBER AT THE BOTTOM. 
          UH, THOSE WERE DELIVERED THIS WEEK, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, I BELIEVE, UH, TO 30,000 HOUSEHOLDS IN, IN THE 20 MOST VULNERABLE ZIP CODES. 
          SO THOSE ZIP CODES, UH, WERE IN DISTRICTS TWO THROUGH FIVE. 
          AND WHAT I'M GETTING TO, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION IS THAT COUNCILMAN SANDOVAL HAD ASKED FOR SOME, ALSO FOR DISTRICT SEVEN. 
          SO WE HAD, UH, AN EXTRA 2000 PRINTED, UH, FOR DISTRICT SEVEN. 
          WE CAN DO THE SAME FOR ANYBODY WHO, WHO WANTS THEM. 
          AND ASIDE FROM THE DOOR HANGERS, WE DO HAVE OTHER SHAPED AND SIZED MATERIALS FOR INSERTS AND THINGS THAT WE, WE CAN PROVIDE IF, IF YOU HAVE A NEED FOR THEM. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THAT, UM, I, I'M GLAD TO SEE THIS HERE. 
          I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY, DO YOU HAVE ANY HERE IN HOUSE, THE PHYSICAL COPIES? I DON'T HAVE ANY HERE. 
          I DIDN'T BRING THEM, BUT WE COULD DO, UM, OKAY. 
          JUST THAT THE FONT'S LARGE ENOUGH MM-HMM. 
           THAT THE NUMBERS ARE EASY TO READ, YOU KNOW, THAT SORT OF THING. 
          SO SOMETIMES YOU HAVE INTERNS DOING THIS WORK, AND THE, THEY MAKE THEIR LITTLE FONT KNOW FOR A 20 YEAR OLD EYE. 
          SO, UH, PLEASE KEEP ALL THOSE DETAILS IN MIND AS YOU'RE, UM, CREATING A FLYER THAT'S, UM, INTENDED TO GO TO PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE ACCESS. 
          BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS, OF COURSE, AS WE'VE EVOLVED IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS WITH THIS, UH, NEW REALITY IS THAT PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY BOMBARDED WITH INFORMATION AND ARE NOT LISTENING. 
          SO, UNLIKE COUNCIL MEMBER ELAS, WHO COMMENTED THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS, PEOPLE DON'T KNOW, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE NO IDEA, UH, WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING OTHER THAN THE BASIC THINGS THAT, UM, THEY NEED TO PRACTICE, THEY NEED TO WASH THEIR HANDS. 
          BUT BEYOND THAT, ACTUALLY, PEOPLE DON'T KNOW. 
          THAT'S WHY WE KEEP GETTING SO MANY CALLS, UH, BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH UNRELIABLE INFORMATION AND, AND PEOPLE ARE STARTING RUMORS. 
          AND, UH, I KNOW JUST EVEN WITH THE CHILDREN, YOU KNOW, WHERE THEY, MY CHILDREN GOT THE IDEA THAT THEY'RE GONNA GET ARRESTED IF THEY GO OUTSIDE. 
          UM, THAT'S ALSO THE RUMOR THAT'S GETTING SORT OF SPREAD. 
          AND THE KIDS, OF COURSE ARE, ARE, UH, NERVOUS ABOUT THAT. 
          AND, UM, SO I'M SURE THAT'S THE CASE IN OTHER COMMUNITIES AS WELL. 
          UM, SO I, I DON'T, IT WAS, IT'S JUST MORE OF A COMMENT THAT, UM, AND NOT THAT I THINK WE NEED TO LIMIT COMMUNICATION, BUT, UM, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE GET REAL TARGETED. 
          UM, AND PERHAPS THAT IS SOMETHING THAT OUR, UM, COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT HAS TO ADDRESS IS, IS, YOU KNOW, COULD WE HAVE INFORMATION THAT'S FOR SPECIFIC GROUPS FOR, UM, PERHAPS NOT SEND OUT ALL OF THE SMALL BUSINESS INFORMATION TO A GROUP OF SENIORS WHO ARE, UM, HOME BOUND, UH, OR, UM, CAN WE DO JUST THE SMALL BUSINESS INFORMATION TO THE SMALL BUSINESSES? I KNOW WE HAVE, FOR EXAMPLE, IN MY DISTRICT, A, UM, WE HAD, UH, A SMALL BUSINESS COALITION ALONG THE CORRIDORS. 
          WE WERE WORKING WITH THE W D C TO GIVE THEM THE INFORMATION FOR SMALL BUSINESSES. 
          AND SO DON'T SEND THEM THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT ARE PROVIDING FOOD SERVICES, SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES, BECAUSE I THINK PEOPLE ARE GETTING INUNDATED WITH INFORMATION AND THEN THEY DON'T BELIEVE IT. 
          UH, AND I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT'S BEING PROVIDED, BUT IT DOES TAKE, UH, A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A, UM, UH, PERSON WHO CAN, CAN CONCENTRATE, UH, ON JUST READING THE THINGS THAT ARE, ARE RELEVANT TO THEM. 
          SO, UM, I ALSO, FOR CARLOS, UM, REGARDING, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE, I KNOW YOU GAVE YOUR PRESENTATION A REALLY LONG TIME AGO. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'S BEEN FIVE HOURS, BUT DID YOU SAY THAT THERE ARE CORPORATIONS THAT WOULD GET, UM, FORGIVABLE, UH, OR THAT WOULD BE GIVEN A STIMULUS PACKAGE, BUT SMALL BUSINESSES ONLY GET LOANS? UM, I, I FEEL LIKE YOU SAID THAT IN YOUR EARLIER COMMENTS, WHICH YES, COUNCILMAN, THERE THERE IS PROVISIONS, AND AGAIN, WE NEED TO, WE'RE READING HIGH LEVEL, UH, ITEMS, BUT THERE ARE PROVISIONS IN THE FEDERAL STIMULANTS THAT DOES PROVIDE EMPLOYERS DOESN'T, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S LIMITED TO LARGE EMPLOYERS, EMPLOYERS, A FORGIVABLE LOAN IF THEY RETAIN EMPLOYEES THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THE, OF THE, THE, UH, CRISIS. 
          SO, WE'LL, WE'LL GET SOME MORE DETAILS ABOUT WHICH EMPLOYERS, BUT THE IDEA IS RATHER THAN ALLOW THEM TO BE, UH, RELEASED FROM WORK AND BE ON UNEMPLOYMENT, TRY TO KEEP PEOPLE EMPLOYED FOR A 
          [04:05:01]
PERIOD OF TIME. 
          AND THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME. 
          BUT I GUESS I DON'T WANNA GIVE THE, GIVE THE PUBLIC THE IMPRESSION THAT CORPORATIONS WILL GET FORGIVABLE LOANS, BUT BUSINESSES, SMALL BUSINESSES HAVE TO PAY THOSE LOANS BACK. 
          SO, UM, I, I THINK THAT I, I UNDERSTAND THE D DETAILSS WILL GET SORT OF FLESHED OUT AND, AND, UM, UH, AS, AS ALL THIS EVOLVES. 
          BUT, UH, I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S REAL CRITICAL INFORMATION THAT THERE'S NOT SOME CORPORATE, UH, FORGIVENESS, UH, BUT SMALL BUSINESS LOANS THAT THEY HAVE TO PAY BACK. 
          SO, WE'LL, WE'LL, UM, WE'LL, WE'LL GET THAT INFORMATION. 
          I THINK AS IT COMES, AND EVEN, YOU KNOW, WHILE I'M, I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THE SUPPORT OF, OF LIFT FUND AND THE COUNTY FOR, UM, DOING WHAT THEY CAN, WE ALSO KNOW THAT IT'S VERY LIMITED. 
          AND HAVING AN S B A LOAN MYSELF AND HAVING GONE THROUGH THAT PROCESS MANY YEARS AGO, IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT AND YOU ONLY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THOSE LOANS. 
          IF YOU CAN SHOW THAT, UM, YOUR BUSINESS IS SUSTAINABLE. 
          THERE'S PROBABLY LIMITATIONS HOW MANY YEARS YOU'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS, HOW MANY EMPLOYEES YOU HAVE, YOU HAVE TO ALSO SHOW A DECLINE, WHICH, UM, THERE'S, IT'S VERY LIKELY THAT IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, THEY'RE NOT GONNA SHOW A DECLINE. 
          UH, I MEAN, AND, AND THAT'S ALSO FOR BUSINESSES THAT ARE USING SOFTWARE THAT'S EASY TO TRACK AND HAVE CPAS THAT CAN TURN THAT INFORMATION OVER VERY QUICKLY, UH, BECAUSE, UM, IT'S NOT, IT'S VERY LIKELY THAT A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER DOESN'T HAVE ALL THOSE THINGS IN PLACE. 
          SO, UH, PERHAPS THAT COULD BE, UM, SOMETHING THAT, UH, A SMALL BUSINESS OR THAT A NONPROFIT CAN START TO PROVIDE SOME OF THOSE SERVICES. 
          I MEAN, WE KNOW THAT OUR CITY DOES, AND I, I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE WORK THAT THE CITY IS DOING, BUT WE ARE ALSO LIMITED, AND I KNOW THAT WE ARE, THERE ARE PARTNERS THAT ARE DOING THINGS, BUT, UM, HAVING A MORE TAILORED MESSAGE SO THAT ALL THE SMALL BUSINESSES ARE NOT COMING TO US, UH, ASKING FOR ASSISTANCE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE LIFT FUND IS DOING THINGS AND WHO ELSE IS, UH, I KNOW THAT SOME OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS ARE ALSO FORGIVING LOANS, BUT YOU STILL ARE FORGIVING PAYMENTS, BUT YOU DO HAVE TO SHOW THAT YOUR BUSINESS IS SUFFERING AS A RESULT. 
          SO JUST THE FACT THAT WE'RE UNDER THESE ORDERS IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IT'S NOT ENOUGH. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY HERE CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION OR IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS DEPENDENT ON THE LENDING INSTITUTION. 
          UM, BUT I, I THINK ALL THOSE THINGS ARE, ARE JUST, UM, PERHAPS OR COULD BE A MORE TARGETED EFFORT TO GIVE THAT INFORMATION TO THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY NEED THEM. 
          UM, AND IN FACT, YOU ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE SUPPORT WOULD GO, UH, THAT OF THE SMALL BUSINESSES THAT WERE IMPACTED NINE, ONLY 9% ARE IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY. 
          I GUESS I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          AND THOSE ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT WE'RE GONNA BE OFFERING ASSISTANCE TO. 
          WELL, SO COUNCILMAN OUR, AS YOU CORRECTLY INDICATED, THE, THE PROBLEM IS SO BIG, UH, IT REALLY DOES TAKE A MASSIVE, UH, RESPONSE THAT REALLY ONLY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN DO. 
          AND THEY'RE TRYING TO DO THAT NOW IN THE FORM OF THEIR LOANS AND THE FORGIVENESS IS, UH, AND ALSO UNEMPLOYMENT, INSURANCE BENEFITS, ET CETERA. 
          SO OUR THOUGHT PROCESS WAS TO TRY TO FOCUS IN THE AREA THAT IS THE HEAVIEST HIT. 
          AND SO THAT'S WHY WE DID THE RESEARCH ON WHICH ARE THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE MOST VULNERABLE, HOSPITALITY AND LEISURE. 
          AND WITHIN THAT FOCUSING, YOU KNOW, ON THE RESTAURANTS, BECAUSE THERE IS A FOOD CHALLENGE AS WELL, TO TRY TO FOCUS THERE AND DO SOMETHING THAT'S QUICK AND THAT'S STOP GAP UNTIL YOU CAN AVAIL YOUR, A BUSINESS COULD AVAIL THEMSELVES OF LARGER RESOURCES. 
          SO THAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THIS TRY TO BE. 
          SO I THINK THAT THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT, IS THAT, SO THEN THEY COULD AVAIL THEMSELVES TO LARGER RESOURCES. 
          BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER THING THAT YOU MENTIONED, AND IT'S SORT OF BEEN MENTIONED ON THIS DAAS, IT'S GONNA TAKE A LOT MORE THAN TWO MONTHS TO RECOVER. 
          SURE. 
          ESPECIALLY IN THE SMALL BUSINESS, BECAUSE YOU'VE LOST YOUR EMPLOYEES AND, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY PERHAPS HAS TAKEN A JOB ELSEWHERE. 
          AND SO, UH, IF, IF THE JOBS WERE AVAILABLE AND IT, IT, IT DOESN'T QUITE RAMP UP THAT WAY, IT'S NOT A SWITCH. 
          RIGHT. 
          UM, AND SO EVEN SHOWING THAT YOU HAVE A LOSS IS GONNA TAKE TIME TO SHOW THAT YOU HAVE A LOSS. 
          I MEAN, EVERY DAY IS A LOSS, BUT, UH, I MEAN, THAT'S JUST NOT THE WAY IT WORKS. 
          I MEAN, YOU'D NEED AT LEAST A MONTH TO SHOW A RETURN. 
          CORRECT. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WE REPORT MONTHLY, UM, TO OUR C P A AND ALSO TO THE BANK THAT HOLDS MY LOAN. 
          SO YOU HAVE TO AT LEAST HAVE A MONTH OF A DECLINE. 
          YOU BET. 
          SO WE'RE, WE'RE, UM, IT'S JUST A, A BIG STRUGGLE, BUT I THINK THAT THAT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S SHORT TERM AND THAT THEN IT WOULD GO TO A LARGER INSTITUTION, WHOMEVER'S DOING THAT, 
          [04:10:02]
BANKS FOR APPLY THROUGH THE S B A PROCESS, ET CETERA. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, THANK YOU, UM, FOR THAT. 
          UM, ANOTHER QUESTION, UH, REGARDING, UM, THE, THE, THE HOMELESS POPULATION, ESPECIALLY, UM, YOU KNOW, AROUND HAVEN AND, AND ACCORDING TO THIS SOCIAL DISTANCING THAT, UM, THAT'S HAPPENING THERE OR, OR NOT HAPPENING THERE. 
          BUT ONE THING I I, I FEEL, UM, EVEN AS WE'VE KIND OF GONE THROUGH THIS, WE HAVEN'T SEEN AN INCREASE OF PEOPLE, UM, ON THE STREET. 
          UH, I DON'T AT LEAST, I MEAN, IS IT BECAUSE THERE ARE NOW MORE PLACES TO GO THAT THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AN INCREASE OF THE POPULATION AT HAVEN? UM, I MEAN, I JUST, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, CHIEF, WE'VE BEEN IN THIS AREA FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. 
          WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUES AROUND HAVEN AND OVERPOPULATION. 
          I FEEL LIKE THAT'S NOT HAPPENING. 
          OR IS IT JUST TOO SOON TO TELL OR COUNSEL WHAT, WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS, UH, AS YOU SAID, THAT WE'RE NOT SEEING A LOT OF PEOPLE MILLING AROUND ON THE STREET, BUT WE ARE SEEING MORE AND MORE ENCAMPMENTS AND THEY'RE GROWING. 
          SO PERHAPS THE FACT THAT THEY'RE MORE HIDDEN, BECAUSE I, I DO FEEL LIKE THAT THE AREAS THAT TYPICALLY WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF PROBLEMS ARE NOT, WE'RE NOT SEEING THAT INCREASE. 
          YEAH. 
          KASMIR, I'M, I'M NOT, I'M NOT, I I, I CAN ONLY THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE, UH, TRAFFIC IS SO, IS SO LOW NOW WITH THE, WITH THE DECLARATION THAT THERE'S NOT AS MANY PEOPLE, HOMELESS PEOPLE MILLING AROUND ON THE STREETS AND NOT AS MANY PEOPLE PANHANDLING. 
          BUT AS I MENTIONED, WE ARE SEEING THE, THE ENCAMPMENTS GET BIGGER AND, AND MORE, UH, UH, MORE FREQUENT. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, I WOULD LOOK FORWARD TO THAT DATA IN SOME FUTURE PRESENTATION OF ARE WE ACTUALLY SEEING AN INCREASE OF THE HOMELESS POPULATION? 'CAUSE I, ANECDOTALLY, I DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING, BUT PERHAPS IT IS, AND I'M JUST NOT SEEING IT AS MUCH. 
          AND IT, IT HASN'T BEEN THAT LONG. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, THAT WE'VE BEEN IN THIS SITUATION TO WHERE WE CAN SAY, WE'VE HAD, YOU KNOW, THIS, LIKE, WE KNOW THIS, LIKE WE'VE SEEN AT OTHER TIMES, UM, SORT OF RANDOMLY A REAL BIG INCREASE OF PEOPLE MILLING AROUND AND SOME NEGATIVE ACTIVITY. 
          UH, USUALLY JUST DRUG DEALING. 
          UH, I FEEL LIKE WE HAVEN'T SEEN AN INCREASE IN THAT. 
          SO I'LL, UM, JUST PERHAPS IT TAKES TIME TO COLLECT THE DATA. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          SO WE'LL WAIT FOR THAT IN A FUTURE, UH, PRESENTATION. 
          UM, AND THEN I GUESS, UH, JUST, UM, UH, WOULD SORT OF AS A COMMENT, UM, TO MY COLLEAGUES, UM, AND ERIC AND SORT OF THE TEAM, UM, I SUSPECT WE WON'T GO BACK TO BUSINESS AS USUAL. 
          UM, I SUSPECT THAT A LOT OF THINGS WILL CHANGE. 
          UH, I SUSPECT THE NATURE OF OUR WORK MAY CHANGE. 
          UM, I KNOW THE THINGS THAT I HAD REALLY PRIORITIZED FOR MY LAST YEAR ON THIS COUNCIL, UH, HAD TO DO WITH, UH, TRANSPORTATION, UH, AND GETTING MORE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TO OUR CITY. 
          WELL, NOBODY'S TRAVELING, SO IT'S NOT A PRIORITY TODAY. 
          UM, I THINK, UH, AND I THINK IT'S MAY BE THAT SOME OF OUR RESOURCES SHIFTS STRAIGHT TO SOCIAL SERVICES, WHICH IS, I KNOW SOMETHING I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE OVER THE YEARS IS THAT WE INVEST MORE IN OUR NONPROFITS AND OUR DELEGATE AGENCIES, THAT WE CONTINUE TO ADDRESS ISSUES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. 
          UM, THAT WE PUT MORE FUNDING IN THE AREAS THAT WE KNEW WOULD DIRECTLY IMPACT, UM, PEOPLE, UH, PEOPLE'S LIVES, ESPECIALLY THOSE LIVING IN POVERTY. 
          UM, WE KNOW THAT WE HAD CURRENTLY 20% OF OUR POPULATION LIVING IN POVERTY. 
          UM, IF THAT INCREASES, UM, THEN WE WOULD LIKELY SHIFT MORE FUNDING, UM, TO THOSE PEOPLE THAT NEED IT THE MOST. 
          UH, AND SO, UH, WHILE I'M, I, I HAVE THREE YOUNG CHILDREN AT HOME, UM, WE'RE GOING STIR CRAZY. 
          I KNOW EVERYBODY IS, UH, AND I FEEL LIKE I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CAPACITY, AND I SUSPECT THE STAFF DOESN'T EITHER FOR A LOT OF UNNECESSARY WORK. 
          UH, AND SO IF WE COULD MAKE SURE THAT OUR EFFORTS ARE REALLY TARGETED, UM, AT, AT, WITH A MORE IMMEDIATE CONCERN, UM, I KNOW I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. 
          I THINK MANY OF OUR STAFF WOULD APPRECIATE IT. 
          UM, AND I THINK THE COMMUNITY WOULD APPRECIATE IT AS WELL, IS THAT OUR EFFORTS ARE FOCUSED, UH, ON, UM, MORE IMMEDIATE CONCERNS, NOT WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT A RECOVERY. 
          I DON'T THINK WE'RE IN A RECOVERY PHASE JUST YET. 
          UM, AND, AND WE MAY, UH, I, I SUSPECT WE MIGHT HAVE A COMPLETE SHIFT IN WHAT ARE OUR COUNCIL PRIORITIES, WHAT ARE OUR COMMITTEE PRIORITIES? UH, WHAT ARE THE PRIORITIES OF, UH, OF OUR CITY IN GENERAL? SO, WELL, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO, UM, GETTING 
          [04:15:01]
MY KIDS BACK IN SCHOOL. 
          UH, AND I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE ARE TOO. 
          UM, I DON'T THINK WE'LL GO BACK TO BUSINESS AS USUAL. 
          AND I FEEL LIKE I HAVEN'T HAD TIME AND OTHERS HAVEN'T EITHER, TO REALLY, UM, THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT MAY LOOK LIKE. 
          UH, AND I DO THINK THAT WE, UH, EVERYBODY'S DOING THE BEST THAT THEY CAN, UH, IN THE MOMENT. 
          AND BUSINESSES ARE, ARE TRYING TO BE CREATIVE. 
          BUT, UM, BUT IT, THAT TAKES TIME TOO, UH, TO FIGURE OUT HOW, UM, YOUR BUSINESS OR THE SERVICES THAT YOU PROVIDE, UM, WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO, TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND I KNOW HOUSEKEEPERS ARE WANTING TO, UM, NOT HOUSE, BUT, UH, HAIRDRESSERS ARE WANTING TO MAKE HOUSE CALLS. 
          UH, PEOPLE THAT RUN NAIL SALONS ARE WANTING TO MAKE HOUSE CALLS, UH, SEEING ONE CLIENT AT A TIME IN A, IN THEIR OWN HOME. 
          UM, AND, AND, YOU KNOW, WOULD THAT BE, UH, A SERVICE THAT PEOPLE, UM, WOULD APPRECIATE? AND, AND WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? SO, UM, I, I, I KNOW THAT EVERYBODY'S DOING THE BEST THEY CAN, AND I'M REALLY GRATEFUL FOR, UH, FOR EVERYBODY'S, UH, FLEXIBILITY AND, AND ALSO THE KINDNESS, UH, OF, OF OUR, UM, OF OUR COMMUNITY. 
          WE'VE SEEN IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. 
          SO, UM, WE'LL JUST, UH, I THINK IT'S JUST REALLY ONE DAY AT A TIME. 
          I KNOW THAT'S HOW I FEEL, UM, FEEL REALLY GRATEFUL FOR, FOR ONE, JUST ONE DAY AT A TIME. 
          THANK, THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER GONZALEZ. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER SANDOVAL. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UM, AND THANK YOU COUNCILMAN GONZALEZ FOR, FOR YOUR WORDS. 
          UM, I WANNA, I, I KNOW IT FEELS LIKE WE'VE BEEN HERE FOREVER, BUT I'M FINALLY TALKING . 
          SO I'M GONNA START WITH, UH, THANKING ERIC, UH, MARIANNE, THE E L T FOR A THOROUGH PRESENTATION AND OVERVIEW ON, ON THE SITUATION AND HOW IT'S AFFECTING THE CITY. 
          UM, AND I WANNA THANK ALSO COUNCILWOMAN BRAN FOR HER WORK ON THE N L C. 
          AND I'M REALLY GLAD THAT WE HAVE YOU ON THAT NATIONAL BOARD AT THIS CRITICAL TIME. 
          I DON'T THINK, UH, IT'S VERY LUCKY OF US. 
          AND I ALSO WANNA THANK MY, UH, DISTRICT SEVEN NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS WHO HAVE BEEN, UH, DELIVERING FLYERS AND INFORMATIONAL MATERIALS THAT WE'VE PRINTED UP FOR THEM, UH, TO THEIR NEIGHBORS WHO AREN'T ONLINE. 
          UM, SO, UH, ESPECIALLY DON RIOS FROM RA PARK. 
          THANKS FOR, UH, TAKING THAT ON. 
          UH, AND I ALSO WANNA THANK MY COLLEAGUES. 
          UH, I AM SO PROUD TO SERVE WITH ALL OF YOU COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          EACH OF YOU HAVE, UM, UH, INITIATIVE IDEAS. 
          YOU HAVE DRIVE, AND, UH, YOU KNOW, COUNCILMAN TREVINO SENT A, UM, AN EMAIL EARLIER TODAY HIGHLIGHTING ALL OF OUR ATTRIBUTES. 
          AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE, UH, YOU'RE ALL SUPERHEROES AND, UH, AND THIS IS THE HALL OF JUSTICE OR WHATEVER IT IS. 
          AND SO I, I THINK, UM, I THINK WE HAVE A, A GREAT TEAM. 
          SO VERY HAPPY TO SERVE WITH YOU. 
          AND I THINK JUST WE'RE STARTING TO SEE NEW ABILITIES AND NEW, UH, SIDES OF PEOPLE AS WE'RE DOING THIS. 
          SO I THINK, UM, IT'S REALLY A TIME TO RISE TO THE OCCASION, AND, AND YOU ARE ALL DOING IT IN, UH, IN DIFFERENT AND WAYS. 
          UM, I WANNA TALK FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES ABOUT THE, UM, THE COMMITTEE, UH, THE COMMUNICATIONS WORK GROUP THAT, UH, ERIC AND, UH, JEFF COYLE MENTIONED. 
          UH, JEFF AND, AND JOHN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR, FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE WITH THAT. 
          UM, SO I WANTED TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT TO THE COUNCIL MEMBERS AND ALSO ASK THEM, UM, IF YOU'RE NOT ALREADY PARTICIPATING, UH, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY WELCOME TO SEND A STAFF MEMBER, UH, TO, TO ONE OF THOSE. 
          WE'D, I'D LOVE TO HAVE EVERYONE, UH, ON, ON THE TEAM, EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO BE, AND I THINK EVERYONE WHO THE DAAS HAS EXPRESSED SOME GREAT IDEAS THAT WE WILL, THAT WE CAN MOVE ON. 
          UM, COUNCILMAN PERRY, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, UH, MAKING SURE THAT WE GET THE INFORMATION OUT TO PEOPLE WHO NEED TO HEAR IT, UH, IN TIME. 
          AND COUNCILWOMAN GONZALEZ, YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT, WELL, MAYBE NOT EVERYBODY NEEDS ALL THE INFORMATION BECAUSE IT CAN BE OVERWHELMING AND, AND LOSE ITS, UH, EFFECTIVENESS. 
          AND, UM, THAT'S DEFINITELY ONE OF THE APPROACHES THAT, THAT WE WANNA TAKE IS KIND OF, UM, IDENTIFYING WHO ARE THE AUDIENCES THAT WE NEED TO REACH BASED ON THE, THE NEEDS THAT WE'RE HEARING ABOUT, AND THEN WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO, TO REACH THEM. 
          UM, IT'S, UH, WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO DO IT ALL, OBVIOUSLY. 
          UM, BUT I THINK YOU'VE GIVEN US SOME GREAT PRIORITIES, UH, BASED ON, ON WHAT WE'VE HEARD, UH, TODAY. 
          UM, I ALSO, I ALSO WANNA THANK G P A STAFF FOR, UM, THE WEALTH OF INFORMATION THAT IS ON THE INTERNET. 
          UH, I KNOW I SPOKE WITH TRACY VERA AFTER OUR LAST MEETING, AND SHE SAID THAT, UH, SHE WOULD LOOK INTO PUTTING ONE, UH, WEBPAGE, LIKE A TAB JUST ON SERVICES AND ASSISTANCE THAT'S AVAILABLE FOR, FOR RESIDENTS AND INDIVIDUALS, UM, THAT COULD ALSO HELP EASE SOME OF THE ANXIETY THAT PEOPLE MIGHT FEEL. 
          AND I, I THINK THAT'S ALSO WHY PEOPLE WANNA HEAR ABOUT THE RECOVERY IS BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEE AN OUT RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY 
          [04:20:01]
IF YOU'VE JUST LOST YOUR, YOUR JOB. 
          UH, SO THAT, OH, THANK YOU. 
          UH, BUT THAT COULD HELP. 
          UM, UH, THE, THE OTHER THING I, I WANTED TO THANK G P A FOR WAS HAVING A SIGN LANGUAGE AVAILABLE FOR EVERY, UH, FOR EVERY MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT THAT, THAT WE'VE HAD. 
          I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S GREAT TO SEE. 
          UM, WE, WE ALSO TALKED AT A COUPLE OF THESE MEETINGS REGARDING, UM, UH, PEOPLE WHO AREN'T CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET, WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR POPULATION. 
          BUT BEFORE I GO INTO DETAIL ABOUT THAT, I WANNA SAY THAT WE ARE CRITICALLY AS AN ORGANIZATION, RELYING ON THE INTERNET OR THE WEB TO GET INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC. 
          WHETHER IT'S YOU SIGN UP FOR COSA GOV OR YOU READ IT ON YOUR PHONE, UM, OR ON YOUR COMPUTER, IS THAT A RADIO? OR YOU HEAR IT ON, UH,  ON YOUR COMPUTER. 
          UM, AND I, I, I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT PHONE SERVICE AND INTERNET IS ALSO CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AT THIS POINT IN TIME. 
          AND I'M GLAD TO SEE SOME INTERNET COMPANIES STEPPING UP TO HELP STUDENTS WHO ARE TRYING TO DO, UH, DISTANCE LEARNING RIGHT NOW. 
          IT'S ALSO CRITICAL THAT ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS WHO HAVE ACCESS TO THAT RIGHT NOW CAN CONTINUE TO KEEP THAT ACCESS, UH, DURING THIS TIME. 
          UH, SO PROBABLY SOMETHING THAT WE ALSO NEED TO, TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE, HOW WE DO THAT, UH, AT THIS TIME WHEN, WHAT ORGANIZATIONS WE WORK FOR THAT'S NOT A MUNICIPAL UTILITY, OBVIOUSLY, UH, BUT CERTAINLY A U A UTILITY. 
          UM, AND IN TERMS OF, UM, I KNOW WE'VE GOTTEN THE MESSAGE OUT THERE. 
          YOU'VE DONE A LOT OF EDUCATION ABOUT HOW TO DO, UH, SOCIAL DISTANCING. 
          AND THIS IS, THIS IS GOING TO BE NEW FOR A NUMBER OF ORGANIZATIONS. 
          I MEAN, I THINK EVERYONE ON THIS DA IS PROBABLY, WELL, MOST EVERYONE ON THIS DA IS PROBABLY KNOWS THAT EVEN ISSUES OF CODE COMPLIANCE, RIGHT? HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU HAVE TO GO OUT AND TELL PEOPLE AND VISIT THEM AND TALK TO THEM FOR SOME VERY BASIC, UH, PARTS OF CODE COMPLIANCE AND THE, THE LONG CYCLE THAT TAKES? SO, UM, WE HAVE THE, THE SAME AUDIENCE, RIGHT? BUT WE HAVE A DIFFERENT PROBLEM TODAY. 
          SO WE ALSO HAVE TO BE CREATIVE, UH, WITH SOME OF THE WAYS THAT WE DO THAT. 
          SO I THINK, UH, OUR, OUR GROUP AND OUR FORUM IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. 
          AND I, I DO WANNA THANK EVERYONE WHO'S, UH, THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THAT WITH ME. 
          UH, AND COUNCILWOMAN, ANDREW SULLIVAN, COUNCILMAN VINNO, UM, COUNCILWOMAN ROJA GARCIA, AND OF COURSE COUNCILMAN, UH, ELA, UM, I, AND THEY ALSO HAPPEN TO BE THE MEMBERS OF, UH,  THE COMMUNITY HEALTH AND EQUITY, UH, COMMITTEE. 
          UM, WHICH BRINGS ME TO, TO ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT POINT THAT I THINK WE NEED TO, TO DISCUSS IS THAT, UM, JUST AS WE'RE SEEING EFFECTS ON, UH, EMPLOYMENT AND, AND SO MANY ISSUES AS A RESULT OF THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS, WE ARE GOING TO SEE AN IMPACT ON, ON HEALTH TOO. 
          UH, ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO MAY BE LOSING THEIR JOBS RIGHT NOW, IF THEY HAD HEALTH INSURANCE, UH, THEY MAY NOT HAVE IT, UH, IN A FEW, IN A FEW WEEKS. 
          SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE A, UM, KIND OF A FEEDBACK LOOP OF THE, OF THE VIRUS CAUSING ECONOMIC IMPACT AND GIVING US FURTHER PROBLEMS IN, IN HEALTH. 
          AND I THINK WE NEED TO, TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS WHEN WE'RE GONNA HAVE THOUSANDS OF ADDITIONAL PEOPLE THAT, UM, MAY NOT HAVE A HEALTH PLACE TO GO TO. 
          CLEARLY A CONVERSATION THAT WE NEED TO HAVE WITH THE, WITH THE COUNTY. 
          UH, SAME WITH, UM, FOOD SECURITY AND WIC. 
          UM, WE PROBABLY NEED TO SEE IF, OR I'D, I'D BE CURIOUS TO KNOW IF WE'VE HAD A DECLINE IN THE USE OF OUR WIC CENTERS WITH THE, UH, EVER SINCE THE ORDERS CAME OUT. 
          SO THAT'S SOMETHING IF STAFF COULD, COULD SEND US, WOULD BE APPRECIATED. 
          JEFF, I KNOW YOU'RE STANDING AT THE READY, AND IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU WANNA SHARE, I WANT TO GO AHEAD. 
          NO, NO, NO. 
          PLEASE GO AHEAD. 
          I DON'T, I DON'T WANT TO INTERRUPT, BUT I THOUGHT YOU'D BE INTERESTED IN BOTH OF THESE THINGS. 
          THE, UH, TRACY FOLLOWED THROUGH AND, AND BUILT THE RESIDENT ASSISTANCE TAB. 
          SO IT'S RIGHT ON THE HOMEPAGE, THERE'S A WHOLE SERIES OF THINGS, FOOD RENTAL, UH, HOUSING, ALL SORTS OF THINGS. 
          UH, AND THIS IS NOT TO JUST CALL OUT ONE COMPANY BECAUSE THE OTHERS MIGHT DO THE SAME, BUT THE OTHER DAY, AT AND T LET US KNOW THAT THEY WERE, BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU SAID, IT'S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE STILL HAVE ACCESS. 
          THEY'RE OFFERING SEVERAL MONTHS OF FREE SERVICE WHEN YOU SIGNED UP. 
          THEY'VE EXPANDED THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR THEIR LOW INCOME PROGRAM. 
          IT'S AS LOW AS FIVE OR $10 A MONTH TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SERVICE. 
          AND THEY'RE WAIVING ANY DATA OVERAGES SO PEOPLE CAN GET UNLIMITED. 
          SO I, I WOULD IMAGINE THE OTHER COMPANIES ARE DOING THE SAME, BUT THE POINT IS THEY'RE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH YOU THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE STILL HAVE ACCESS TO INFORMATION DURING THIS TIME. 
          THAT'S, SORRY TO INTERRUPT. 
          NO, NO. 
          THIS IS NOT INTERRUPTION AT ALL. 
          THAT'S GREAT TO HEAR. 
          UM, THANK 
          [04:25:01]
YOU. 
          UH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UM, UH, SO NOW I, I WANNA CIRCLE BACK WITH, UH, I HAVE A COUPLE OF OF QUESTIONS. 
          UM, ONE OF THEM IS FOR, UH, CHIEF HOOD. 
          UH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR, YOUR PRESENTATION. 
          UM, TAKE MY MIC OFF . 
          UM, THANK YOU, CHIEF. 
          UM, YOU, YOU SAID SOMETHING VERY REASSURING DURING YOUR PRESENTATION, AND THAT WAS THAT WE HAVE, UM, HOSPITAL BEDS AND THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE A SURGE IN NEED. 
          UM, CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THAT? WHAT, WHAT DO THOSE NUMBERS LOOK LIKE RIGHT NOW? WELL, WE'RE STILL TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE NUMBERS OF BEDS, BUT WE KNOW FOR SURE THAT HOSPITALS OPERATE AT ABOUT A 90% RATE OF WHERE THEY'RE FULL. 
          MOST OF THE ELECTIVE, UH, SURGERIES HAVE BEEN CANCELED, SO THERE'S GOING TO BE ADDITIONAL SPACE. 
          SO WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE REGIONAL MEDICAL, UH, PLAN AS FAR AS LOOKING AT ALL OF THOSE HOSPITALS, UNDERSTANDING WHAT THEY HAVE IN THEM AS FAR AS I C U BEDS, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          SO IF YOU COULD PICTURE A, A, A BALLOON BIG RED BALLOON, AND SO IF YOU BLOW THAT BALLOON UP, WHAT'S THE SYSTEM LOOK LIKE BEFORE THAT BALLOON POPS? AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET OUR HANDS AROUND WITH THE ANALYTICS, WORKING WITH THE HOSPITALS. 
          SO WE HAVE TRIGGERS, WE HAVE TRIGGERS THAT WILL ALLOW US TO SAY, OKAY, WE NEED TO MOVE PEOPLE IN A STEP DOWN TO A HOTEL, WHICH WE'VE LOCATED. 
          WE HAVE TRIGGERS TO WHERE I HAVE A, A BUNCH OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND HEALTHCARE WORKERS THAT ARE SICK OR NEED TO BE QUARANTINED. 
          WE'VE GOT A HOTEL FOR THAT. 
          SO WE HAVE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF PLANS TO WORK WITH THE HOSPITALS TO IDENTIFY WHAT THEIR CAPACITY LEVELS ARE, AND THEN WE WILL MOVE INTO THOSE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. 
          OKAY. 
          NO, I'M GLAD TO HEAR ABOUT THAT COORDINATION. 
          BUT IN TERMS OF, OF, UH, NUMBERS AND HOW MANY BEDS, WE DON'T, UH, YOU'RE, YOU'RE CALCULATING THAT AT THIS TIME. 
          YOU KNOW WHAT, AND AGAIN, WE'RE, WE'RE CALCULATING THAT, AND IF WE WOULD GIVE YOU BED NUMBERS, WE, WE WOULD NEVER SELL K WELL, THIS HOSPITAL HAS THIS MANY BEDS, OR THIS ONE HAS THIS MANY LOOKING AT NO, NO. 
          IT CHANGES. 
          I KNOW. 
          BUT WHAT WE WOULD DO IS LOOK AT BEDS IN OUR REGION. 
          CORRECT. 
          CORRECT. 
          UM, AND, UH, IN TERMS OF VENTILATORS, WHAT, WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE GAME PLAN? YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY HAS CONCERNS ABOUT VENTILATORS. 
          IF YOU ASK ME HOW MANY VENTILATORS WE HAVE IN THIS REGION TODAY, I DON'T KNOW. 
          BUT IF YOU ASK ME WHAT HOSPITAL HAD PATIENTS ON VENTILATORS, I COULD TELL YOU THAT. 
          AND SO WE'RE, AGAIN, TRYING TO MANAGE THAT INFORMATION AND GET THAT TO WHERE WE UNDERSTAND IT. 
          IF WE HAVE A SURGE WITH SOME OF THE RESOURCES WE'RE GONNA BE, UH, REQUESTING FROM THE STATE AS FAR AS SETTING UP FIELD MEDICAL HOSPITALS AND THOSE TYPE OF THINGS, THOSE WOULD COME WITH VENTILATORS AND EQUIPMENT. 
          SO AGAIN, WE'RE STILL TRYING TO GET OUR HANDS WRAPPED AROUND VENTILATORS, BUT IF I TOLD YOU WE HAD THREE, 400 VENTILATORS IN THE CITY TODAY, I, I, I COULDN'T TELL YOU, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT REALLY MATTERS AT THIS TIME. 
          'CAUSE WE'RE STILL TO GET THE INFORMATION FOR THE SURGE AND HOPEFULLY THE PEOPLE THAT NEED VENTILATORS, WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO KEEP THEM IN THE HOSPITALS AND MOVE THE OTHER PEOPLE OUT INTO OTHER FACILITIES. 
          YOU KNOW, WHEN WE, UH, FIRST HAD THE LACKLAND EVACUEES HERE, UH, AND ONE OF THEM WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, THEY WERE TAKEN TO A NEGATIVE PRESSURE ROOM. 
          UM, IS THAT STILL GOING TO BE A REQUIREMENT FOR ANYONE, UH, WITH THE VIRUS WHO HAS TO BE HOSPITALIZED? I'M PROBABLY NOT THE PERSON TO ANSWER THE, THAT QUESTION. 
          MAYBE DR. 
          BRIDGER COULD ANSWER THAT. 
          NO, THEY'VE CHANGED THE REQUIREMENTS. 
          THAT'S NO LONGER, UM, A REQUIREMENT. 
          OKAY. 
          GREAT. 
          UM, WELL, THANK YOU CHIEF FOR, UM, FOR ADDRESSING THAT. 
          UM, I, I KNOW YOU SAID IT'S NOT IMPORTANT AT THIS TIME, BUT I, YOU KNOW, WE GET A LOT OF QUESTIONS. 
          WE READ A LOT OF THINGS ON THE MEDIA AND, UH, FOR ME IT WOULD BE VERY REASSURING TO GET A, UM, A TIGHTER UNDERSTANDING OF THAT. 
          IT SAYS IT'S NOT, WHEN, IT'S NOT IMPORTANT, IT'S CRITICAL. 
          BUT FOR ME TO STAND UP HERE RIGHT NOW AND SAY, OKAY, WE HAVE X AMOUNT OF VENTILATORS IN OUR SYSTEM. 
          WE DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION YET. 
          WE ARE TRYING TO CONTINUE TO GATHER THAT, WORKING WITH THE HOSPITALS, WORKING WITH AVAILABLE RESOURCES WE HAVE, AND IF WE NEED THOSE VENTILATORS, THEN WE'LL HAVE THEM. 
          I, UM, UNDER UNDERSTOOD. 
          I, I THINK WHAT WOULD BE GOOD TO KNOW, OR YOU SAID, IF WE HAVE A SURGE, WE'RE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT. 
          AND THAT'S, THAT'S CRITICAL TO KNOW, RIGHT? THAT'S, YES, MA'AM. 
          THAT'S EXTREMELY REASSURING. 
          UH, I GUESS I'M ASKING, OKAY, HOW, HOW DO WE KNOW THAT IS, IS WAS REALLY MY, MY 
          [04:30:01]
QUESTION, RIGHT? HOW MANY NUMBERS, THIS OR THAT? UM, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I WANNA KNOW IS YOU'RE TELLING ME IF WE HAVE A SURGE, WE HAVE ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE. 
          IF, IF WE HAVE A SURGE, WE HAVE PLANS TO WHERE WE COULD BUILD OUT THE FAIRGROUNDS, WE COULD MOVE INTO THE, UH, FREEMAN COLISEUM, WE COULD MOVE INTO THE AT AND T CENTER. 
          WE HAVE PLANNED OUT OKAY. 
          TO THAT MAGNITUDE. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          THAT'S, SO THAT'S LIKE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS AGAIN. 
          BUT WE HAVE PLANS, BUT WE DON'T WANNA STRIKE FEAR IN THE PUBLIC. 
          WE WANT THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE PLANNED AND WE HAVE CONTINGENCY PLANS, BUT AGAIN, WE HAVE A LARGE FOOTPRINT TO WORK WITH AND WE HAVE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW AT THIS VERY MOMENT THAT ARE WORKING ON THE RESOURCES TO SUPPORT THOSE LOCATIONS IF WE HAVE TO. 
          THAT'S VERY GOOD TO KNOW. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHIEF FOR, THANK YOU FOR GOING INTO THAT. 
          UM, AND THEN, UH, A, A COUPLE OTHER THINGS. 
          UM, DR. 
          EMRICH, UH, I KNOW ISN'T HERE, BUT, UM, MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT REACHING OUT TO, UM, A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WITH PHYSICIANS. 
          SO I JUST, UM, WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE COORDINATED WITH HER, UH, MY OFFICE HAD, SO I DON'T KNOW WHO'S REPRESENTING HER. 
          UH, DR. 
          UM, MY OFFICE HAD, UH, SOME CALLS FROM PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS WHO WERE REALLY INTERESTED IN LEARNING A LITTLE BIT MORE. 
          AND, UH, SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE COORDINATED WITH, UH, DR. 
          EMRICH TO ENSURE WE COULD, WE COULD SUPPORT WITH THIS, UM, WHAT WE ARE CALLING A, A HOTLINE FOR PHYSICIANS IF THEY DO HAVE QUESTIONS. 
          SO, JUST CERTAINLY DON'T WANT US TO BE WORKING AT CROSS PURPOSES. 
          SO I'D LOVE TO, UH, MAKE SURE I CAN COORDINATE WITH HER ON THAT. 
          OKAY, THANKS. 
          AND THEN, UH, LASTLY, I WANNA GIVE A THANK YOU TO, UM, TO RAY CHAVEZ AND THE SAN ANTONIO MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION. 
          UM, MY OFFICE REACHED OUT TO THEM REGARDING MANUFACTURING OF, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY WHAT WE HAVE SHORTAGES OF. 
          AND HE GAVE US A, A BRIEF OVERVIEW. 
          UH, BASICALLY, UH, AS REQUESTS ARE COMING IN FOR ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT THAT'S NEEDED, HE'S SENDING THEM OUT TO, UH, TO HIS MEMBERS. 
          AND AT THE MOMENT, IT LOOKS LIKE, UM, THERE'S SOME WORK BEING DONE ON CLOTH COVERS FOR N 95 MASKS TO EXTEND THEIR LIFETIME. 
          UM, SOME FACE SHIELDS, UH, WOULD BE PRODUCED IN THE NEAR TERM, UH, PRODUCTION OF PARTS OF VENTILATORS AND, UH, SANITIZATION, UH, EQUIPMENT. 
          SO, UH, I WANNA THANK, UH, THE MANUFACTURERS WHO ARE, WHO ARE STEPPING UP AT THIS TIME. 
          UM, SO, UH, THANK YOU, UH, VERY MUCH. 
          THANKS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER SANDOVAL, COUNCIL MEMBER ANDREW SULLIVAN. 
          UM, THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          I JUST, JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK, UM, COUNCILMAN PELLYS DURING OUR NONPROFIT, UH, CALL. 
          HE BROUGHT IN, UM, PASTOR ANN KY, WHO REALLY, UM, TOUCHED BASES ON OUR, OUR FAITH-BASED OUTREACH AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING, UM, AS FAR AS CONFERENCE CALL, CONFERENCE CALLS WITH ALL OF THE, THE PASTORS AND MINISTERS OF THE CHURCHES. 
          AND JUST WANTED TO, TO SAY THANK YOU, UH, FOR THE INPUT THAT SHE GAVE TO US ON THE CALL, AS WELL AS THE INPUT THAT SHE GAVE, UM, IN REFERENCE TO THE NONPROFITS ALONG WITH COUNCILWOMAN GONZALEZ. 
          AND SO, UM, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE, WE THANKED HER FOR HER INFORMATION THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE WITH THE FAITH-BASED OUTREACH. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UH, COUNCIL MEMBER ANDREW SULLIVAN. 
          UH, AND THAT IS, UH, THE DURATION OF OUR DISCUSSION TODAY. 
          I'LL JUST WRAP UP BY, UH, AGAIN, COMPLIMENTING THE STAFF FOR A VERY COMPREHENSIVE, UH, PRESENTATION IN OUR SITUATION RIGHT NOW. 
          AND I DO WANT TO JUST ECHO SOMETHING THAT COUNCIL MEMBER GONZALEZ SAID, UH, THAT I THINK NEEDS TO BE UNDERSCORED. 
          THIS IS NOT BUSINESS AS USUAL. 
          OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE SOME TOUGH DAYS AHEAD, OUR WHOLE COMMUNITY DOES. 
          UH, BUT I'M CONFIDENT THAT WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER, WE'RE GONNA GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER AND WE WILL DO SO AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. 
          BUT OUR TIMELINES, AGAIN, ARE DICTATED BY THE COLLECTIVE ACTION THAT WE CAN TAKE. 
          UH, SO I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SET GOOD EXAMPLES FOR OTHERS. 
          WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR THOSE EXAMPLES IN THE PUBLIC AND, AND MAKE SURE THAT, UH, PEOPLE UNDER PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE SITUATION. 
          UM, AND PLEASE NOTE THE SUN ALSO RISES. 
          WE WILL BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS, UH, SOON ENOUGH AND WE'LL BE ALL THE BETTER FOR IT. 
          THANK Y'ALL VERY MUCH. 
          AND WE ARE ADJOURNED. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          OH, MOTION IN SECOND. 
          THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. 
          SORRY ABOUT THAT. 
          THAT WAS LIKE THREE HOURS AGO, ERIC. 
          THANKS FOR THE REMINDER. 
          OKAY. 
          THERE IS A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR, UH, THE EXTENSION OF THE, OF THE ORDER THROUGH APRIL 9TH.

          UH, MAYOR. 
          MAYOR, IF I MAY, I WANT TO CONFIRM SOMETHING I ALWAYS SUSPECTED, BUT IT WAS NEVER ABLE TO VALIDATE TILL TODAY. 
          UH, IF I CAN DRAW YOUR ATTENTION AT COUNCILMAN PERRY'S SCREEN, ALTHOUGH HE PROUDLY SERVED IN THE US AIR FORCE, I THINK WE CAN SAFELY ESTABLISH HE HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN HIS HEART FOR THE NAVY. 
          THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN PERRY. 
          WELL PLAYED ANNIE, WE ARE AJOUR. 
          THANK YOU.
