May 28, 2020Disaster Council Minutes <br />Alameda County <br />•Office of Emergency Services <br />•Alameda County Fire Department <br />•Alameda Public Health Department <br />2.B. <br />Alameda County Office of Emergency Services reported that during an elected officials <br />call, Dr. Pan was concerned about the rise in hospitalizations, which could be due to <br />an increase in testing and loosening of the shelter in place restrictions. During the call, <br />the three major concerns were swimming and hair salons, and increase in testing. <br />Cooling centers were also a discussion topic, due to the fact most facilities used as <br />centers are currently closed and cities were sent the state and local guidance. <br />Guidance for Stage 2 is being worked on. County PIOs and city PIOs are working to <br />get messaging out about the holiday. The County is working with PG&E on the PSPS <br />events. <br />Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) reported that staffing pattern remain <br />constant, there has been an increase in calls and they have 2-3 weeks’ worth of <br />supplies. Their dispatch asks questions of callers about symptoms and ensures that <br />crews know the status. If a patient tests positive, staff is notified within 24-48 hours, <br />and so far there has only been one positive test among staff. ACFD is talking with the <br />City Manager about testing. Recruits are at the San Leandro training tower. The county <br />has a good line of communication with PG&E and discussions have shown that they <br />have refined their mapping capabilities, though the discussions will continue. <br />San Leandro City <br />•San Leandro City Manager <br />•San Leandro Police <br />2.C. <br />City Manager Kay reported that the City is looking to use the Marina Community Center <br />(MCC) as a possible test site and that the Ashland Reach Center test site has been <br />extended for at least another week. Retail curbside pick-up is now available and the <br />City is trying to make things easier to provide approval and are also planning to assist <br />restaurants with outside dining. Summer Camp registration is open with safety <br />protocols in place, including limiting the number of children. The Library is providing <br />curbside pick-up, as well as online and virtual services, and having the book drops <br />open at least twice a month, with no late fees. <br />San Leandro Police reported that there has been less than 10 deaths within the City <br />and 147 cases. The patrol staff will be back on regular patrol schedule as of 6/1, with <br />precautions, while pushing as many of the non-emergency reports to either phone or <br />online. <br />Recreation and Human Services (RHS) reported that there has been a slight increase <br />in the homeless in the city, due to them moving from other communities. The City is <br />trying to work with the railroad to manage an encampment along the tracks. RHS is <br />working with Health Care for the Homeless and Building Futures and East Bay <br />Innovations. The plan from the County was to use the homeless management system <br />in order to go into trailers or the Safer Ground and Comfort hotels, though that has <br />been modified. The City used the Marina Inn to assist people and before people went <br />into the County hotels. RHS is trying to be proactive with this vulnerable population in <br />trying to move them from temporary to permanent housing and to get them wrap-around <br />services. <br />Page 3City of San Leandro
