June 25, 2020Disaster Council Minutes <br />Alameda County OES reported that there was a call with elected officials. As the <br />reopening occurs, the county is looking at data, while weighing safety vs. risk and <br />looking at the economic needs. This means that the county is moving slower than <br />other counties. There has been an uptick across the state and Alameda is #7 in the <br />number of cases and deaths, with the highest number of cases is in the Latinex and <br />African American population. The State continues to fund testing in the county, while <br />the number of tests performed has increased. The county is at 90% of the goal and <br />the positivity rate is less than 4%. Contact tracing needs to be increased and the team <br />doing that is increasing. Our hospitals are in good shape for beds and ICU and the <br />surge plan has not needed to be used. A big concern is face masks and there is a lot <br />of information on the ACPHD website that can be distributed. Per the Sheriff, Law <br />Enforcement will enforce the order, only if completely necessary, and for now <br />encouraging education, not enforcement. Non-essential travel is still prohibited. <br />The 4th of July is a worry because of the social aspect, and because there has been <br />an uptick in illegal fireworks. The Sherriff’s Office has an undercover task force that's <br />working on trying to find out how those fireworks are getting into the county and stop <br />them. Santa Rita Jail has no new cases of COVID among inmates, but there has been <br />an uptick in employees and contractors. <br />The hotel programs have a total of 830 units/rooms filled with individuals and families <br />and will soon have 3 more for a total of 8 hotels. The food bank and hubs are doing <br />well, as is the Great Plates program. <br />Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) reported partnering with ACPHD to go out <br />and do testing as needed. There has been an uptick in calls. The department remains <br />healthy and the recruit academy is back in session. The department is up staffing for <br />the upcoming fire season, while also working with PG&E on PSPS. <br />San Leandro City <br />•San Leandro City Manager <br />•San Leandro Police <br />2.C. <br />City Manager Kay reported the testing and the opening up businesses are going well <br />and the City is trying to do more in terms of services for the community while <br />maintaining safety. The Library is doing curbside pickup and building permits are <br />being processed, while being able to accept and process planning applications. <br />Procedures to open up City Hall are being developed for staff and the public. <br />San Leandro Police reported that 244 people have tested positive in the City of San <br />Leandro, with county’s total of 5,275 positive and 122 deaths. We will work with the <br />PIO staff to get messaging out about masks and other information from the County’s <br />COVID page. The PD is still responding to COVID incidences as they come in. The <br />Community Resource Center (CRC) has been confirmed at the Main Library and the <br />City is working to finalize the contract. During a PSPS event, PG&E is going to bring <br />in support with a generator, staff, and it will be a place for the public to come to <br />recharge, to have a place to get out of the heat, to get some snacks, and to get <br />information. <br />Page 3City of San Leandro
