- Councilman De La Rosa- with cases rising in the community is there a threshold for additional counter measures- THD states they are working with OCM/Directors on reducing employees to decrease exposure, we have also noticed some people not wearing their PPE properly so we provide education and expectations, Dr Santiago- shared case numbers and percentages and said we don't need to hit additional thresholds as current cases infection rates meet the need for strict compliance and enforcement. Are we past giving people warnings for non-compliance of Exec Orders- Chief Chavez stated they have been very active in this enforcement but they are looking for clarification on the warning piece due to the language currently in the The Exec Orders, believe the Task Force is working on updating some of this language
- Councilman Villareal- I have some concerns with some of the language in the Exec Order and with clarification. Some thought is that employees and members are being taken care of financially which is leading to access shopping, travel and parties. Concerns over service centers and their services shutting down, why can't neighboring districts helping out, I'm glad PD is out enforcing but it is up to everyone to be compliant
- Councilwoman Antone-Smith- with the high numbers of cases within PD and GRHC is additional help needed, Chief Chavez says their staffing is ok, Dr Santiago- we have an overall low percentage of employee cases, we also been aggressive in increasing our staff numbers, we have been aggressive in our policy regulating staff protective measures. Are employees who are on quarantine supposed to be receiving surveillance testing, THD- if they are on quarantine due to possible contact yes but if the are a positive case then no.
- Councilwoman Antone- receiving calls from employees who are scared about the surge, looking for plans of actions to be executed, once the vaccine is administered there will need to be staffing plans for employees who may need to be off for side effects, we need to relook at the safety of any communitywide food distribution and ensure there are plans for this
- Governor Lewis- its has been a difficult week, thank you for all your hard work, we will relook at any confusion in the Exec Orders, we want our employees safe and we will be revisiting our employee guidelines with Council, you have my ongoing admiration for your dedication, continuing my efforts with AZ for further vaccine allocation, invited Council to the Director's meeting today, I'm in direct contact with the Biden team for further relief funding

- OEM IC- 209 days ago, Governor Lewis created the Covid-19 Task Force to deal with something the likes we had never seen before. Over the last 209 days, our community, our state, our nation and the world has been dealing with a pandemic. A pandemic no one was prepared for. In all of our training and exercises, there was always an end, a solution and an After Action Report. Today, there are experts who do not have answers, who do not have solutions. As a task force, we have learned to draw together. Under the Unified Command structure, challenges are identified, resources are called upon and our most important asset, our people, come together to apply solutions and work towards resolutions. We recognize the challenge and do something about it. Our hope can never be taken away. We find ways to do something to help others, remembering our positivity is a choice. We pray for help, but listen for inspiration and impressions to proceed, in ways different from those we may have thought of. When everything seems to be against us, remember, the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it. We are flying the airplane as we are building it.
