GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL AGAIN, I'M JOINED BY TAMIKA.

DO IT.

UM, YOUR EMERGENCY MANAGER COORDINATOR.

UH, JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF UPDATE ON OUR WORK THIS PAST WEEK ON COVID-19 OUR PREPARATION AND PLANNING.

UH, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND ON A CONFERENCE CALL WE WERE ON, AND THEN I'LL TURN IT OVER TO TAMIKA.

WHO'S GOING TO SHARE SOME INFORMATION ON COMMUNITY VACCINATIONS.

UM, THE NUMBERS FOR THIS WEEK, UH, ARE 623 ACTIVE CASES IN MISSOURI CITY.

UH, THAT'S AN INCREASE OF 64 FROM MY LAST REPORT.

UM, AND THEN THE DEATHS REMAINED THE SAME AT 75.

UH, WE SHOULD BE GETTING AN UPDATE ON THAT IN THE NEXT WEEK.

THAT'S THE DEATHS COME IN A LITTLE LIGHTER, UM, THAN THE ACTIVE CASES, UM, EMPLOYEE VACCINATIONS.

WE CONTINUE TO WORK HARD TO TRY TO GET OUR FRONTLINE WORKERS VACCINATED.

UM, I'M, I'M, I'M PLEASED TO REPORT THAT FIRE AND POLICE

[00:40:01]

ARE COMPLETE.

UH, WE STILL ARE TAKING, UH, ADDITIONAL FIRE AND POLICE PERSONNEL THAT WANT TO GET VACCINATED AND WE ADD TO THE LIST, BUT WE'VE COMPLETED ALL THE VACCINATIONS THAT WERE REQUESTED IN BOTH OF THOSE DEPARTMENTS.

WE ARE NOW MOVING ON TO, UH, ONCE WE GET, UM, APPROVAL OR, OR THE PROCESS UP IS UP FOR ONE CS, UH, WE'LL BE FOCUSING ON OTHER FRONTLINE WORKERS LIKE PUBLIC WORKS, UH, SOME OF OUR PARKS PEOPLE, UH, AND THOSE THAT ARE ACTIVELY ENGAGED WITH, WITH OUR CITIZENS OUT IN THE PUBLIC, UH, LAST WEEK, TAMIKA JEWETT.

AND I PARTICIPATED IN A STATE CONFERENCE CALL, UH, WITH THE TEXAS DIVISION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, WHICH WORKS DIRECTLY WITH, UH, CHIEF NIM KIDD AND, AND THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE.

UH, WHAT WE LEARNED IN THAT CONFERENCE CALL WAS A, WAS A, A LIST OF VALUABLE RESOURCES AT THAT WILL HELP US BEGIN TRACKING ALL THE VACCINATIONS THAT ARE COMING TO MISSOURI CITY.

UH, TAMEKA IS STARTING TO COMPILE SOME DATA THAT WILL SHOW US WEEK FROM WEEK TO WEEK, UH, EXACTLY WHERE THE VACCINATIONS ARE GOING IN, HOW MANY WE'VE ACTUALLY RECEIVED, UH, INTO THE CITY.

UH, WE'RE ALSO, WE ALSO LEARNED THE DELIVERY METHOD AND LEARN THAT THE SECOND ROUND OF VACCINATIONS IS ALSO BEGINNING TO SHIP THIS WEEK, UH, ALONG WITH FRONTLINE VACCINATIONS.

SO THAT IMPORTANT SECOND VACCINATION WILL WE'LL BEGIN TO SHIP OUT THIS WEEK.

UM, AND BASED ON, UM, COUNCIL MEMBER EMERY'S RECOMMENDATION, WE, WE, UH, STARTED WORKING ON SOME MESSAGING FOR OUR SENIORS.

UH, WE'LL BE WORKING WITH COMMUNICATIONS TO GET SOME, SOME, UM, MESSAGING OUT ON THEIR PLATFORMS, UH, FOR THE CITY.

BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE CREATED OR IMPRINTED SOME HARD COPY CARDS, UH, TO REMIND OUR SENIORS, WHICH, UH, OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT WILL BE GOING OUT TO SENIOR HOMES AND SENIOR FACILITIES TO DROP OFF THESE CARS.

SO THEY HAVE A HARD COPY FOR THOSE THAT DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO, TO DO, UH, INTERNET OR SOME OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS. UH, AND THAT'S, THAT'S BEEN OUR FOCUS, UH, THIS PAST WEEK.

UM, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO TAMIKA.

WHO'S GOING TO SHARE SOME COMMUNITY VACCINATION INFORMATION, AND THEN WE'LL BOTH COME BACK TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

AND AMY MAY COUNCIL, JUST AS AN UPDATE ON WHAT WE SPOKE ON THE PREVIOUS MEETING, WE MENTIONED SOME OF OUR LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES AND ROLLING IN FEDERAL AND STATE PROGRAMS TO GET THEIR VACCINATIONS.

AT THE LAST MEETING, WE ONLY HAD KNOWLEDGE OF ABOUT FIVE THAT HAD SIGNED UP FOR THOSE PROGRAMS CURRENTLY IN MISSOURI CITY, OUT OF 20 LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES.

THIS INCLUDES NURSING HOMES, ASSISTED LIVING SKILLED CARE AND GROUP HOMES.

20 OUT OF THE 30 HAVE SIGNED UP TO BE A PART OF EITHER A FEDERAL OR STATE PROGRAM.

THIS MEANS THAT THEY WILL WORK DIRECTLY WITH THE FEDERAL FEDERAL STATE GOVERNMENT TO GET THEIR VACCINATIONS ONLY 10 HAVE NOT SIGNED UP AT THIS TIME TO BE A PART OF THAT PROGRAM NEXT, UM, FOR PROVIDERS WHILE ALLOCATIONS ARE COMING OUT A LITTLE SLOW FOR THE VACCINE, WHEN YOU DO HAVE A DECENT NUMBER OF, OF AGENCIES OR FACILITIES THAT HAVE SIGNED UP TO BECOME COVID VACCINE PROVIDERS.

AT THIS TIME, WE HAVE 36, UM, VACCINE PROVIDERS THAT HAVE EITHER BEEN APPROVED OR PENDING APPROVAL OR IN PROGRESS AT THIS TIME WITH A TOTAL OF 12 ALREADY APPROVED.

SO AS WE GET THOSE ADDITIONAL VACCINES ALLOCATED TO THE AREA, SOME ADDITIONAL OF THESE OTHER FACILITIES WILL START TO RECEIVE THEM THE SAME.

THESE INCLUDE PHARMACIES, PRIVATE PRACTICES, DIALYSIS CENTERS, UM, THE LOCAL HEALTH HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, UM, AND MAINLY IN THE NURSING HOME, SOME OF THEM SIDE OF IT AS THEIR OWN ALSO INSTEAD OF GOING AND AS A PART OF THE FEDERAL OR STATE PROGRAM, ALSO WITH FORT BEND COUNTY, THEY OPEN UP ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO AGO, THEY OPENED UP A CALL LINE FOR PEOPLE TO REGISTER.

IT HAD OVER 5,000 PEOPLE REGISTERED TO RECEIVE VACCINES.

THEY ONLY RECEIVED LESS THAN 1500 INITIAL IN THEIR INITIAL ALLOCATION.

SO THEY'RE WORKING THROUGH A LOT MORE TO GET THROUGH THAT NUMBER BEFORE THEY OPENED IT BACK UP AGAIN.

THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATION.

I'VE HAD A COUPLE OF CONSTITUENTS ASKED ME ABOUT, UH, BEING ABLE TO EASILY ACCESS THE VACCINE PLAN, WHICH I THINK IS, UM, YOU KNOW, REASONABLE.

IS THERE A WAY, UH, CHIEF PARTITA THAT YOU COULD MAYBE MAKE THAT ACCESSIBLE, UM, IN A WRITTEN FORM ON MAYBE THE WEBSITE UNDER YOUR, UM, UNDER YOUR TAB? YES, MA'AM, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

I'LL WORK WITH, UH,

[00:45:01]

UH, WITH STACY, FROM COMMUNICATIONS TO HELP US WITH THAT, UH, GET THAT POSTER.

AND THIS WILL BE SORT OF A, SORT OF A LIVING TYPE DOCUMENT.

SO AS YOU GET UPDATES, THEN YOU CAN UPDATE THAT, THAT WAY.

UM, AS COUNCIL MEMBERS, WHEN WE GET THOSE QUESTIONS, WE CAN JUST REFER THEM TO THE WEBSITE.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? DO WE HAVE THE ORDINANCE AS PRESENTED COSTING WOMAN CLOUDS? YEAH.

WHAT WAS THAT IN REFERENCE TO THE REFERENCE TO 2014? A COUNCIL MEMBER WAS DARLING TO THE RESOLUTION THAT COUNCIL ADOPTED AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONTRACTS AND CHANGE ORDERS ESSENTIALLY BELOW $50,000 IN VALUE OVER 50,000.

SORRY, I DIDN'T CATCH THAT.

I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION THEN.

SO, SO WHAT YOU WERE SAYING, I'M SORRY, COUNCIL MEMBER, BONNIE, YOU SIN TO RELEGATE THIS UNDER 50,000.

NO, THIS IS FOR ANY CONTRACTS ABOVE AND OR BELOW $50,000 THAT ARE SPECIFIED SPECIFICALLY TO THE ITEMS THAT ARE LISTED ON THAT AMENDMENT, WHICH IS AROUND, UH, SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS, SEPARATION AGREEMENTS, RELATIVE TO EMPLOYEES.

AND IF I MAY, THIS IS ALSO WITH CLUES IN A LOCAL AGREEMENT, WHICH WOULDN'T COME TO YOU ALL ANYWAY AS WELL.

AND THEN ANY OTHER CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS THAT YOU ALSO SPECIFY IN A RESOLUTION PROVIDED THAT AS CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S CHARTER, AARON MEMBERS OF COUNCIL IS THE CITY MANAGER.

UH, AND OF COURSE WE CAN TALK ABOUT SERVICE.

WE CAN'T EXCLUDE THE DIVINE THAT, AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE BIG CELEBRATION OF THE DIVINE NINE TOMORROW.

UH, LASTLY, I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY, UH, INCLUDING MY COLLEAGUES, IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE TO ATTEND OUR, UH, DISTRICT B TOWN HALL MEETING, UH, NEXT WEEK, IT IS CALLED WHAT'S THE FOUR ONE ONE.

AND, UH, DEFINITELY WANT TO INCLUDE YOU GUYS AND WANT TO MAKE SURE ALL OF MISSOURI CITY DISTRICT BE RESIDENTS OR IN ATTENDANCE.

AND I WANT TO ALSO THANK THE COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT ON WORKING WITH ME TO PUT THIS ON, AND IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT, GREAT EVENT.

I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ALL OF YOU.

THAT CONCLUDES MY COMMENTS.

CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, SIR.

GO AHEAD.

I WAS MUTED, SORRY.
