[1. Update from the County Judge and staff regarding the Local Disaster Declaration and COVID-19. Possible discussion and action may follow. BECERRA]

OKAY. WILL YOU PLEASE OPEN AGENDA ITEM

NUMBER ONE. >> NUMBER ONE UPDATE FROM THE COUNTY JUDGE AND STAFF STARTING THE LOCAL DISASTER DECLARATION AND COVID-19 POSSIBLE DISCUSSION AND ACTION MAY FOLLOW.

>> AND I'VE ASKED OUR HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO BE HERE TO GIVE THEM A PEACE OF THEIR -- PIECE OF INFORMATION FOR THE UPDATE SO IF YOU'LL PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR

THE RECORD. >> GOOD MORNING JUDGE, COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME ISP JENNY WITH THE HAYS COUNTY CLINICAL MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT.

LET ME START WITH WHERE WE'RE TESTING WITH PREMIER WE'RE DOING FOR FIRST RESPONDERS AND OUR PROVIDERS AND PHYSICIANS.

WE'RE UP AT 386 TESTS DONE. THERE WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT WE'VE STARTED WITH LIVE OAK HEALTH PARTS, OUR COMMUNITY CLINIC WHERE WE'RE LOCATED ON BROADWAY THEY ARE USING THE SITES THAT WE HAVE HAD 112 PHONE CALLS.

WE HAVE HAD 63 FROM HAYS COUNTY. THOSE ARE UNDERINSURED PEOPLE, BUT WE ALSO V AT THE SAME TIME THAT HAVE HAD HEALTH PARTNERS BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE PARTNERS ARE COMING DOWN W INSURED THEY HAVE INSURANCE OR MEDICARE AS A BACKGROUND TO THEM OR EVEN DUAL COVERAGE SO THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO GET TESTED.

LIVE OAK DOES THEM AT THE WIMBERLEY SITE OR WALK-IN CLINIC HERE IN SAN MARCOS. THE OTHER 24 THE 112 ARE PEOPLE WE DO HAVE TO MEET THE SCREENING AND WE HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE JUST REPORT STRAIGHT TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL AND WE JUST REFER STRAIGHT OUT TO THE HOSPITAL. WE WANTED TO COME OUT WITH

[00:15:13]

FIGURES AND WE WENT BACK AND HAD TO DO THAT OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS WITH THE HELP OF MIKE JONES AND PREPPEDNESS BUDGET WE HAVE HAD FROM COVID WE HAD A LINE-ITEM FOR PRINTSING AND THE FACT WE HAVE AN AERIAL TODAY AND FLORENCE WOULD HAVE DONE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE WITH 7800 FLYERS WE CURRENTLY HAVE 11,000 7,000 OF THOSE ARE GOING TO THE SEVERAL DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AND MEALS WHERE PREPARED AND DISTRIBUTED BY THE ISD.

WE ALREADY DROPPED A THOUSAND BUT WEREN'T AWARE OF WHAT THEIR NUMBERS WERE GOING TO BE AND OVERWHELMED ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE OF THAT DISTRICT SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SAN MARCOS WE HAVE THREE FROM WHAT SEVEN. THREE WHERE THEY DISTRIBUTE AND SEVEN FOR THE HAYES ISD. THAT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE THEY ARE GOING TO BE PUTTING THEM, EVERY CAR THAT DRIVESP AND I THINK WE DROPPED THOSE OFF YESTERDAY AT SD.

AS LONG AS I KEEP GETTING THAT WORK DONE BACK FROM MIKE, WHO HAS REALLY HELPED A LOT ON GETTING THOSE UPPED.

WE HAVE DRINTED OUT TO THE SAN MARCOS AREA.

I DON'T FEEL SAFE ENOUGH WE SHOULD BE GOING TO HOUSE TO HOUSE WITH UNLIMITED AMOUNT BECAUSE THEY HAVE OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES, TOO. IT'S DANGEROUS ENOUGH TO GO FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE AT THIS POINT. A LOT OF PEOPLE WON'T OPEN THEIR DOORS ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO THAT HAVE TAKE HE BE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES OR TO GRAB SOMETHING FROM SOMEONE'S HAND.

TWOFB CARTS WHERE PEOPLE ARE SEEING THOSE.

WE HAVE TO REMEMBER WE'RE DROPPING TESTING FLOWERS FOR UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED PEOPLE.

THE SAN MARCOS ZHOOLS ARE MENTIONED.

THE FOOD BANKS, SOUTH SIDE COMMUNITY CENTER, THE CLINIC MARTIN LUTHER CLINIC MARTIN LUTHER KING DRIVE WE GO TO A CLINIC THERE AND WE'RE SEEING PATIENTS THERE.

THEY ARE ALREADY GIVING THEM TO EVERYBODY WHO DOESN'T MEASURE UP TO QUALIFY OR SEEK PEOPLE TO HELP THEM WITH MEDICAL CARE.

SO THEY ARE GIVING THAT TO HAVE %-P. THERE WE HAVE BEEN TO WOMEN BERLE ANY STORE OR BUSINESS THAT WILL LET US HAND THEM A FEW. THEY PUT THEM EITHER IN THEIR BAGS OR HAND THEM IN THEIR H HANDS.

WE WILL BE IN DRIPPING SPRINGS TOMORROW FIRST THING.

WE'RE WAITING ON MORE FLYERS TO BE PRODUCED FOR THAT.

AS I PASSED OUT EARLIER SOME OF THOSE OTHER FLYS ARE FOR HOW TO DISINFECTING REMINDING PEOPLE HOW TO KEEP CLEAN THE MEASURES TO TAKE IF THEY ARE FEELING ILL AND STAYING HOME OR MAKING THAT PHONE CALL. IF ANYBODY HAS KNOWN ME LONGER COMMISSIONERINGALS TO BE I WOULD TELL YOU THAT MY SPATION TO SERVE FOR OUR CLINIC TO SERVE THAT NO MATTER THEY HAVE OR DON'T HAVE WE'RE THERE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE.

WE'RE GOING DOOR-TO-DOOR AND TRYING TO GET TO THE BEST WE BELIEVE IN AND THE PEOPLE. THAT MIGHT BE IT.

>> I WANT TO THANK YOU BECAUSE WERE YTION COMES THROUGH LOUD AND CLEAR. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE A PERSON IN YOUR POSITION WITH YOUR TIME ON THE JOB REPRESENTING HAYS COUNTY IN THIS CAPACITY AT MOMENT BECAUSE NO ONE HAS BEEN HERE REGARDLESS OF ALL THE ARM CHAIR QUARTERBACKS THAT WE HAVE ON THE PLANET. YOU ARE ON THE FRONT LINE.

YOU ARE DOING THE JOB THAT DOES NOT GET TOSMTED I ALWAYS SAID WHEN I STARTED HERE THAT MY HOPE IS FOR ACCESS BET ARE ACCESS AND TRANSPARENCY AND TELLING OUR STORY AND I TOLD APARTMENT HEADS OVER AND OVER PLEASE DON'T THINK OF CALLING TO THE PODIUM AS ME

[00:20:06]

CALLING YOU OUT IT'S MERELYLY AN OPPORTUNITY TO TELL YOUR STORY TELL THE CITIZENRY WHAT YOU'RE DOING BECAUSE WE NEED TO KNOW.

TOO MANY PEOPLE THINK WE DO NOTHING AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR TAKE THE TIME IT COME OUT AND ALSO THE VIEWING AUDIENCE.

>> MARGIE I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL BECAUSE I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE AND THE TEAM AS A TEAM BECAUSE I KNOW IT IS A TEAM EFFORT AND THE OUTREACH THAT HAS BEEN DONE IT'S WONDERFUL IT'S GETTING OUT TO THE COUNTY IT'S BEEN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT WE HAVE TO STAY OUTSIDE OUR JOBS IN THE MIDDLE YOU HEARD THE COTION OR COV COVID-19.

WE'RE HOPING TO SEE THE LIGHT AT END OF THE TUNNEL BUT IT WILL BE THERE WHEN IT COMES. AGAIN IT'S NOT JUST ME I'M HERE TO GIVE I HAVE TO GIVE YOU BUT I COULDN'T DO THAT.

TAMMY -- WE COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT TAMMY AND MIKE.

IT'S ALL ABOUT US I THINK WE HAVE A COUPLE OF REPORTS FROM

OUR OTHER STAFF. >> PERFECT.

IF HE'D LIKE TO SEND THEM FORWARD THAT WOULD BE GRAVE.

I'M GOING IN A SEQUENCE. YES, SIR COMMISSIONER.

>> I JUST WANT TO SAY IF Y'ALL WANT TO HELP COORDINATE WITH THE FOOD BANK AND DRIPPING SPRINGS AS WELL AS THE FOOD DISTRIBUTION WITH THE ISD I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP.

>> IF YOU'LL PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

JUST TO GIVE AN UPDATE AS OF THIS MORNING HAD ALREADY SEEN 16 NEW CASES 59 TOTAL CASES IN HAYS COUNTY WE HAVE THOSE THAT ARE TESTED NEGATIVE AND GONE BACK TO THEIR NORMAL LIVES.

OVER THE PAST TWO DAYS WE HAVE HAD TOTAL OF FIVE FATALITIES NOW. TOTAL HOSPITALIZATIONS WE'RE SITTING HERE AT 32 DIAGNOSES OF COVID-19.

SIX OF THEM HOSPITALIZED LEAVING AN ACTIVE CASE COUNT OF 158 CASES. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EXPAND OUR STAFF AT THE OFFICE TO INCLUDE A FEW MORE INTERNS TO HELP US KEEP UP WITH THE CURRENT RISE THAT WE HAVE HAD AND IT HAS HELPED OUT TREMENDOUSLY TO KEEP UP WITH THE INTERVIEWS.

AND JUST TO GIVE AN IDEA OF THE CURRENT RISE THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IN APRIL WE WERE AVERAGING SOMEWHERE AROUND NEW CASES PER WEEK IN MAY IT JUMPED UP TO 25 CASES PER WEEK.

OVER THE LAST 15 DAYS WE HAVE HAD 138 CASES REPORTED TO US IN MAZE COUNTY THAT WE SET A RECORD WITH 45 CASES REPORTED TWO WEEKS AGO AND 53 CASES REPORTED LAST WEEK AND ADD ON WHATEVER LEFT ON OVER THERE. BUT IT'S NOT JUST HERE IN HAYS COUNTY IN TRAVIS COUNTY AND THE HIGHEST NUMBERS EVERY SING 8 DAY. THE TREND IS IT'S NOT CLIMBING.

I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS THAT LOOKING BEHIND ME I ONLY SEE A HANDFUL OF FACE MASKS ON AND SOCIAL DISTANCING IS NOT TAKE PLACE THE WAY WE STILL RECOMMENDED SO WE WANT TONE COURAGE THE PUBLIC AND LET THEM KNOW THIS HAS NOT GONE AWAY.

IT'S NOT STOPPING ANY TIME SOON AND PEOPLE NEED TO CONTINUE TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND SOCIAL DISTANCE THEMSELVES GO OUT IN PUBLIC WHEN THEY NEED TO AND SANITIZE TO PREVENT IT FROM SPREADING OUTSIDE THEIR HOME AND BUSINESSES.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE AS FAR AS MY REPORT.

>> DO YOU BELIEVE WITH CORRELATION FROM THE OPENING THAT FROM THE GOVERNOR'S ORDER THAT 25% ETC. HOW IT'S BEEN ESCALATING. IS THERE A CORRELATION WITH THE

SPIKE STATEWIDE. >> THAT IS WHEN WE START TO SEE THE NUMBERS DECLINE WHEN THEY START OPENING UP RESTAURANTS BUSINESSES BARS, BARBER SHOPS, LEISURE SUCH AS BOWLING SKATING

[00:25:07]

PARKS. I UNDERSTAND THAT ELECTED OFFICIALS HAVE TO WORRY THE ECONOMY.

MY JOB IS TO WORRY ABOUT THE PUBLIC THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.

THERE WAS A LEVEL OF EXPECTATION IN MY HEAD AS ONE OF THE POLICIES MAKERS IN HAYS COUNTY FOR PUBLIC HEALTH THAT WE WERE GOING TO GET AN UP WITH THE GOVERNOR'S ORDER.

I EXPECTED THAT TO HAPPEN. THAT 196 HAVE BEEN CLEARED AS YOU JUST STATED. BY DEFAULT AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, 57% OF OUR POPULATION WILL BECOME OR TEST POSITIVE WITH COVID-19 AND THEY WILL BE ASIMPLEATIC VULNERABLE AND AT RISK. WE STAY CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC.

WE STAY HOPEFUL THAT OUR HOSPITALS AND STRAIT RECORDS ALL DOING THE THINGS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO BE DOING AND HAS BEEN A VERY WELCOMED SHIFT SHIFT AND I JUST WANT TO SAY AS THE COUNTY JUDGE ALTHOUGH I AM CONCERNED AND I STAY CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC I HAD A LEVEL OF EXPECTATION TO THESE RESULTS AND I AGREE WITH YOU THAT WE NEED SOCIAL DISTANCE AND WEAR MASKS AND THAT IT'S NOT AN ORDER. IT'S A STRONG RECOMMENDATION AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE DON'T TAKE YOUR REPORTS OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN OUR COUNTY AS AN ALARMIST PERSPECTIVE.

THE SKY IS FALLING, BUT THE SKY IS GLOOMY AND WE NEED TO STAY VIGILANT. WE NEED TO STAY CAUTIOUS.

AND I JUST WANT TO REITERATE CALM IN THE PROCESS AS WE WALK THROUGH THIS AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK.

COMMISSIONERS. >> CAN WE RELEASE TO THE PUBLIC THE NUMBER OF NURSING HOME TESTS WE WERE IN.

>> THE WEEK OF MAY 18TH THROUGH THE 2 2ND WE FOLLOW THE GOVERNOR'S ORDER AND THE GROUP OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COUNTY WHERE WE'RE REALLY ALL JOINED IN TOGETHER TO WORK WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, THINKING WE HAD ALL BUT AROUND 35 FIRST RESPONDERS THAT HELPED US OUT AND WENT INTO EVERY NURSING HOME AND TESTED EVERY SINGLE RESIDENT STAFF HEALTH CARE AND NURSING HOME. WE RAN A TOTAL OF 967 TESTS OF NURSING FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THAT WEEK AND' WERE EXTREMELY EXCITED TO SEE 950 OF THOSE TESTS CAME BACK NEGATIVE AND ZERO CASES INSIDE THE NURSING HOME.

THERE ARE ARN 60 HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS WHO.

THEY HAD SOMETHING GOING ON. THEY ARE STILL TRICKLING I MAKE SURE THEY GET 100% OF ULT AND STAFF TESTED.

>> THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO. >> I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING WITH MARGIE AND HER TEAM A FEW YEARS AGO.

THEY ARE REALLY AMAZING PEOPLE. GLAD I'M THEM ON OUR SIDE.

>> BEFORE WE WALK AWAY MR. SCHNEIDER WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM AT THE MAYOR. I WANTED TO READ A FEW EXCERPTS.

I WANTED TO -- I SAID I WOULD AND IT'S NOT TO CALL YOU OUT.

IT'S TO SHARE INFORMATION THAT IS COMING MY WAY AND THAT IS THE HOPE WITH THIS EFFORT. HAYS COUNTY LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS WHAT THE SUBJECTS IS ABOUT, AND IT IS WHY THE HAYS COUNTY LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT REPORTING THAT KYLE THAN HALF OF THE ACTIVITY CASES OF COVID-19 IN HAYS COUNTY.

AT THE CENTER OF OUR DISCUSSION HAS BEEN THE QUESTION OF HIPA

[00:30:01]

LAWS AND WHETHER OR NOT AS MAYOR THAT I'M ENTITLED TO REVIEW THE MEDICAL DATES AMEDICAL DATES ACOLLECTED FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IN ORDER TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS.

CHAPTER 418 OF THE CHAPTER CODE ISSUES DURING THE EPIDEMIC.

THEY HAVE TRIED TO FACILITY TODAY ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS BUT DOESN'T FEEL HE'S RECEIVED THE BREADTH AND SCOPE OF WHAT HE'S LOOKING FOR SINCE THE EARLY GOINGS VERY LITTLE HAS BEEN MADE AS TO THE NATURE OF COVID-19 IN THE CITY.

PROVIDE ME THE CONFIDENTIAL ACCESS TO THE ENTIRE SET OF THE AOBTAINED BY THE HAYS COUNTY LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT SO I MAY REVIEW WHETHER OR NOT THE QUESTIONS COULD BE ANSWERED FROM THE DATA OR PROVIDE A THOROUGH ON THE RECORD DATES ASUPPORTED ANSWER TO THE QUESTIONS OF WHY KYLE HAS A DISPROPORTIONATELY HIGH NUMBER OF ACTIVE COVID-19 CASES.

I DON'T BLAME THE MAYOR OF KYLE FOR WRITING THIS LETTER.

HE HAS A JOB TO DO AND THIS IS TO REPRESENT ITS CONSTITUENCY.

WE OVERLAP. WE SHARE IT IN THAT CONSTITUENCY AND RESPONSIBILITY, AND SO WITHOUT MY HOPE IS NOT TO MAKE YOU FEEL CORNERED, BUT WITHOUT PUTTING ON THE SPOT, CAN WE PROVIDE HIM WHAT HE NEEDS OR HAVE WE PROVIDED HIM THE THINGS THAT SATISFY THE POLICYMAKER THAT YOU CAN ADDRESS?

>> I'LL TAKE THAT, JUDGE. TALKING TO THE COUNCIL OF CITY KYLE FOR SOMETIME. THE MAYOR HAS BEEN PROVIDED SOME INFORMATION, BUT WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE INFORMATION HE WAS GIVEN. I CONTINUE TO TALK TO HIS COUNCIL ABOUT HOW WE CAN HELP FACILIATE THAT WITHIN THE HIPA GUIDELINES AND HIPA RULES. WE'LL CONTINUE TO ENDEAVOUR TO DO THAT. HIS STATUS OF MAYOR DOES NOT IN AND OF ITSELF GIVE THE ABILITY TO ACCESS PRIVATE PERSONAL MEDICAL INFORMATION, AND SO WE HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THOSE OBSTACLES IN ORDER TO GET INFORMATION HE NEEDS.

>> AND JUST AS A CLARIFICATION QUESTION, THE HIPA PIECE THAT WE HEAR ABOUT AT ALL LEVELS LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL ARE TIED TO A PERSON'S INFORMATION. I'M WONDERING IF THE GRAPHICS BESIDES THE PERSONAL IDENTIFIERS OF AN INDIVIDUAL HAS THAT POOL OF INFORMATION BEEN PROVIDED TO HIM.

>> I'M NOT CERTAIN THE LAST BATCH OF INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED TO HIM. HE WAS TRYING DO SOME RECONCILIATION I THINK SOME NUMBERS THAT DIDN'T AGREE WITH EACH OTHER INTERNALLY. AND WE TOLD THEM THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME ANOMALIES LIKE THAT BECAUSE OF HOUSEHOLDS THAT MIGHT HAVE MORE THAN ONE CASE ETC., ETC.

Y CAN GO BACK AND REVIEW. IS THERE SOMETHING THAT HE'S TELLING YOU THAT HE'S INTERESTED IN SEEING?

>> THAT'S WHY I READ THE LETTER. I HAVE WHAT YOU HAVE.

I RECEIVED WHAT THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT RECEIVED.

MY HOPE IS TO PROVIDE EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN PROVIDE SHORT OF PERSONAL INFORMATION. THAT THE CITY WITH THE MOST COVID-19 CASES COULD FEEL MORE AT EASE AND COMMUNICATE WITH

THEIR CITIZENRY. >> MARK I THINK ONE THING IS ALSO IF WE CAN BREAK IT DOWN TO WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS AND NEED

TO MAYBE. >> I BELIEVE HE'S BEEN GIVEN

THOSE NUMBERS. >> OK.

>> IT WAS TWO FRIDAYS AGO HE WAS GIVEN THOSE NUMBERS BUT FOUND SOME INCONGRUENCEIES WHICH WE NOTED WOULD BE THERE.

>> ARE YOU ALL WORKING ON THE GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS, MARK, TO PROVIDE? OR DOES HE HAVE THAT? I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO THE MAYOR PERSONALLY.

I KNOW I'VE REACHED OUT TO YOU REGARDING THE LETTER.

>> THE MORE SPECIFIC YOU GET WITH GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS THE CLOSER YOU GET TO IDENTIFYING WITHIN INDIVIDUAL.

THERE'S A BALANCE YOU NEED TO STRIKE THERE.

>> THANK YOU. >> ERIC, ANY COMMENTS ON YOUR PART? NO.

OK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT I'D LIKE TO GO ALEX VILLALOBOS. OH, WE HAVE ONE MORE FROM THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. COME ON UP AND PLEASE STATE YOUR

NAME. >> GOOD MORNING, JUDGE.

GOOD MORNING, COMMISSIONERS. EE KWAN HARRIS EPIDEMIOLOGIST HAZE -- IAN HARRIS EPIDEMIOLOGIST OF HAYS COUNTY HERE TO GIVE AN UPDATE FROM THE EPIDEMIOLOGY DEPARTMENT.

FROM THE FIRST COVID PATIENT HERE IN HAYS COUNTY WE HAVE BEEN

[00:35:03]

CONDUCTING CONTACT TRACING. WE HAVE HAD TO DEVELOP OUR OWN SYSTEM BASICALLY VERY SIMPLISTIC SYSTEM TO MANAGE ALL THAT CONTACT TRACING AND ALSO MANAGE THE PERSONS UNDER MONITORING BECAUSE WE DO MONITOR THEM FOR A 14-DAY PERIOD IF THEY HAVE EXPOSED -- IF THEY WERE EXPOSED TO A LAB CONFIRMED CASE.

BUT I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT WE ARE ENTERING INTO AN AGREEMENT AND ALSO A PROGRAM THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT CALLED TEXAS HEALTH TRACE. AND THAT IS A PROGRAM THAT WAS PROVIDED TO US FOR FREE AND IT'S A WEB BASED STORY WHERE WE CAN EFFICIENTLY COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER JURISDICTION WHAT'S IT COMES TO CONTACT TRACING FROM PERSONS IDENTIFIED INVESTIGATIONS, SO THAT IS GOING TO BE VERY BENEFICIAL TO US AND PROBABLY GAIN MORE CASES BECAUSE OF THAT BUT MAKING SURE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN EXPOSED HAVE BEEN EXPOSED SO THEY CAN TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS TO NOT EXPOSE ANYONE ELSE.

>> THAT WAS THE EXTENT OF THE UPDATE.

>> THAT WAS A KEY COMPONENT OF WHAT GOING ON ADMINISTRATION.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT AND I'M GLAD TO HEAR YOU'RE WORKING WITH THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT STATE HEALTH SERVICES.

DSHS, AND WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO HELP YOU PLEASE KEEP US IN THE LOOP BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU STAY FULLY SUPPORTED.

THANK YOU. NEXT WE WILL HAVE OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR FOR HAYS COUNTY COMMISSIONER ALEX VILLALOBOS IF YOU'LL STATE YOUR NAME.

>> ALEX VILLA LOBOS FOR THE RECORD.

I GIVE YOU A REPORT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH. A FEW WEEKS AGO, WE RECEIVED 100,000 N-95 MASKS AND 123,000 SURGICAL MASKS.

WE DELIVERED AND CREATED A DELIVERY PLAN, CREATED THE NUMBERS THAT WE NEEDED TO DISTIBUTE THROUGHOUT THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS BOTH MIKE AND I DISTRIBUTED A LOT OF THOSE PRODUCTS OUT TO THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.

THERE WAS ALSO A AT THE BEHEST OF MIKE JONESS CREATED IN THE ASSISTANCE OF KIM A VIDEO FOR PROPER VIDEO FOR DISINFECTION.

THAT VIDEO CAN BE SHARED THROUGHOUT HAYS COUNTY AND WE OFFER -- WHAT CONTACT POINTS ARE IMPORTANT TO US TO CLEAN WITHIN YOUR OVERALL OPERATION WHICH IS GOOD.

ALSO DEMONSTRATED THE HANDWASHING AND OTHER MEASURES FOR MITIGATION OF EXPOSURE FOR SOME OF OUR EMPLOYEES.

WE ARE AWAITING OUR ORDER. IT SHOULD BE COMING IN NOW WITH DISINFECTION NOSH DEPLOY FOR COUNTYWIDE ISSUES -- PHYSICIAN DISINFECTION ISSUES BEING DEPLOYED FOR COUNTYWIDE ISSUES.

THE MACHINES ARE BEING UTILIZED RIGHT NOW AND THERE'S A LIMITED AMOUNT OF CHEMICALS TO BE DEPLOYED IN THE MACHINES SO WE WANT TO DO THAT. WE'RE WAITING FOR THAT.

WE'RE COMMUNICATING ON A COMMUNITY DOCUMENT THAT IS COLLABORATION WITH ALL THE MUNICIPALITIES LARGELY US AS OPERATION SERVICES AND OPERATION OF EMERGENCY OR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT FOR THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS HAVE COLLABORATIVELY WORKING ON THAT DOCUMENT ALONG WITH THE MUNICIPALITIES ON WHAT THEIR PLANS ARE AND DIFFERENT AREAS.

WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON OUR STAFF TO COAL ATE DIFFERENT MEASURES PLANS TO PUT INTO THAT DOCUMENT.

WE'RE ACTIVELY DISCUSSING THOSE ITEMS W RACHEL INGLE W50D AND THE CITY --ITE WEMZ RACHEL INGLEWOOD AND THE CITY ALONG WITH THE HAYS COUNTY RECOVERY TASK FORCE THAT'S INCORPORATED THE CHAMBERS AND EDCS. THEIR INFORMATION.

A LOT OF THE SERVICES ARE GOOD THE ATHAT THEY CAN BRING BACK IN TO CREATE ACTIONABLE DIRECTION OF CERTAIN AREAS OF RECOVERY.

AND SERVICES WHERE IT'S NEEDED. A LOT OF TIMES SOME OF OUR BUSINESS PEOPLE IN THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT WITH RECEIVING CERTAIN TYPES OF FUNDS WHEN IT NEEDS FOR BUSINESS PLANNING CREATING THEIR BUSINESS PLAN, CREATING GUIDANCE ON THE SPA LOANS AND THE SECOND ROUND OF THAT AS WE PREPARE TO HELP GUIDE SOME OF THOSE ORGANIZATIONS AND PAPERWORK TO ADDRESS CERTAIN AIR WHY'S THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH THAT DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

WE'RE CREATING THAT AS WITH. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO

[00:40:05]

HIGHLIGHT ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT TOOK PLACE.

THERE WAS A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT THAT HAD THSH ULTIES REGARDLESS THE CURRENT PANDEMIC THEMSELVES AND PUT THEMSELVES AT RISK AS THEY ALWAYS DO. COME TO FIND OUT SOME OF THEM WERE AFFECTED BY THE VIRUS. INITIALLY IT WAS 30 SURVIVORS THAT NEEDED TO BE QUARANTINED. AFTER TESTING THAT WAS REDUCED TO 17 I BELIEVEMENT IT CREATES STRESS ON THE DEPARTMENTS.

YOU HAVE PEOPLE IT TAKE UP THE SLACK AND WORK OVERTIME FOR THE COUNTY NEEDS. THEY ARE FULL.

COMPETING FOR THEM TO HAVE A LARGE UNIT RESERVED FOR THEM WAS SOMEWHAT PROBLEMATIC. SO AS A RESULT OF THAT DEPLOY THE ASSISTANCE OF UNIVERSITY WE HOPE TO HAVE SOME INFORMATION ON THAT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE SOMETHING FOR OUR FIRST RESPONDERS HERE IN HAYS COUNTY. THE INITIAL ON SET IN AUSTIN COUNTY, IT'S SOMETHING I'M TAKE ON TO MAKE SURE WE GET.

WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE STAFF, THE SUPPORT OF RACHEL AS WELL.

WE'RE ALSO CONTINUING TO HAVE PLANS FOR A DISASTER WITHIN A DISASTER SO SOME OF THOSE THINGS ARE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SHELTERING AND FLOOD RESPONSE. S KEEPING AN EYE ON OUR SATURATION OF MOISTURE IN THE SOILS AND ALSO DIFFERENT WATERWAYS. WHAT THAT CREATES FOR US AS WE HAVE A LARGE SLOWING MOVING VANK THE CRESTING SOME OF AREAS OF THE DAMS AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE MONITORING THOSE THINGS AND WE HAVE PLANS, WE'RE SHELTERING A RESPONSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT. LAST WEEKEND I PARTICIPATED TO COORDINATE TO DISTRIBUTE MEALS TO 1450 FAMILIES ALONG WITH THE CITY OF KYLE AND LOCAL FAMILIES AND VOLUNTEERS TO HELP DISTRIBUTE THAT FOOD. THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN ON THE 13TH AT THE SAME LOCATION AT VISTA RIDGE DRIVE IN KYLE, TEXAS AND SOME OF THE ITEMS PACKAGED FRUIT.

PROTEIN BOX THIS IS THE SMILE DIRECT LOCATION.

IT IS A HUGE PARKING LOT THAT HAD ALLOWS A THREE-LINE DELIVERY SERVICE. WE HAD A GREATS TURNOUT FOR THAT AND HOPE TO HAVE ANOTHER GREAT TURNOUT COMING UP ON THE 13TH.

WE ARE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF PLANNING FOR ADDITIONAL TESTING SITES. TO BE LOCATED IN SEPARATE LOCATIONS. WELL FOR SEPARATE LOCATIONS DATES AND TIMES. WE ARE SENTSERING THOSE AND EARLY 2C3WE7B EARLY PLANNING ON THE EAST SIDE OF HAYS COUNTY FROM SOUTH ALL THE WAY UP TO THE NORTH.

WE'RE STILL TRYING TO IDENTIFY THOSE SITES AND WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE THE TEAM THAT WOULD HELP WITH THE TESTING SO WE'RE REACHING OUT TO CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS TO HELP US WITH THAT. AND WE HOPE TO HAVE SOME INFORMATION PRETTY SOON HAD YOU TO FORMULATE THOSE, WHERE IT WOULD BE AND WHERE IT WOULD CONFIRM THOSE SITES AND

LOCATIONS IN REPORTING TO THAT. >> CAN YOU TELL US WHAT THE NUMBER OF TESTS WE HAVE AVAILABLE FOR THE INITIAL 1300?

>> HOW MANY? >> PULL THEM OUT.

>> WE STILL HAVEN'T PULLED OUT THE NUMBERS WE HAVE.

>> I KNOW SOME HAVE BEEN USED. YEAH.

>> PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE

RECORD. >> MIKE JONES.

EMERGENCY COORDINATOR. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, COMMISSIONER, WE HAVE 900 TESTS CURRENTLY SIDE -- INSIDE THAT WE

[00:45:02]

COULD USE TO DEPLOY. WE HAVEN'T DEPLOYED THEM JUST YET BECAUSE WE'RE GETING FROM THE LABORATORIES THINGS CHANGE WHEN WE FIRST PUT IN THE GRANT AND PAYING INITIALLY.

WE NOW HAVE NOT HAD TO PAY FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE CHARGING FEMA, AND THE HEALTH RESOURCE CENTER SERVICE CENTER FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE UNINSURED OR BEING UNDOCUMENTED.

SO WE HAVE THIS 900. WE'LL BE USING FOR THE FOUR TEST SITES ACTIVELY REFERRING. WE'RE WAITING FOR ONE OF OUR MAJOR PARTNERS TO COME TO THE TABLE TO HELP US IN THAT TESTING PROCESS AND NOT JUST YET. WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR RESPONSE. NOT TOO MUCH PRESSURE IN THAT REGARDS. IT ANSWER THE QUESTION HAVE THE MONEY, SO IT SHOULD BRING CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT FALL.

THIS FALL COMING UP THAT IS, WHERE WE NEED TO SPEND MONEY ON TESTS AND MONEY AVAILABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT.

>> IT'S WONDERFUL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU, MIKE.

IT'S A VERY ORGANIC AND TRANSITIONAL PROCESS, SO IT'S HARD TO KEEP TRACK OF THE NUMBERS UNLESS YOU'RE RIGHT THERE WITH THEM. I'M SORRY.

THAT'S WHY WE HAVE STAFF TO SUPPORT.

WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON OUR OPERATIONAL PLAN.

WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE THE ONE THAT WAS SUBMITTED BY JUDGE GARY STEEL. IT WAS REVIEWED BY THE PUBLIC HEALTH AUTHORITY AND SIGNED OFF ON AND WE'LL BE REVIEWING AND SIGNING OFF ON IT AS WELL ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTY JUDGE.

I'VE SEEN THE PLANS ALREADY. I HAVE DISTRIBUTED THAT PLAN IN THE ONLY WITH OPERATIONS BUT ALSO WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. THERE IS ALSO FEED COMING UP TO GET THEM TO PREPARE HOW THE PLAN NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED ON BEHALF THE COURTS. THAT IS A PROCESS WHICH ALSO INCLUDES NOT ONLY THE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, THE CONSTABLE'S OFFICE ALSO IN THE GOVERNMENT CENTER AND ALSO AND OTHER AREAS FOR JP'S OFFICE AND MUNICIPAL COURT OFFICE IN THE GOVERNMENT CENTER AS WELL. SO ALL OF THEM ARE CREATING VARIOUS DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLANS WITHIN THEIR OWN ORGANIZATION, BUT THE ONE PLAN THAT NEEDS TO BE APPROVED THROUGH GUIDANCE OF THE OFFICE OF COURT ADMINISTRATION BY THE STATE.

THIS ONE HAS BEEN THE ONE THAT STILL THE JUDGE HAS SUBMITTED AND WE WILL FINALIZE THAT PLAN. CREATED NOT ONLY FOR OUR EMPLOYEES BUT COUNTY WIDE TO SHOW US HOW WE'RE SCALING IN AGAIN JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON THE LAST MESSAGE WE HAVE COME OUT BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN SOME CHANGES, AND WE HOPE TO HAVE THAT OUT VERY, VERY SOON. AS YOU KNOW IN SOME OF THE AREAS AS OF THIS POINT ON MAY 30TH, THE DAY YOUTH CAMP OPERATIONS ARE OPEN DAY YOUTH FAMILIES ARE OVERNIGHT YOUTH CAM OPERATORS AND OVERNIGHT YOUTH CAMP FAMILIES AND PROFESSIONAL SPORTS LEAGUES, BUT NOT WITHOUT THEY ARE OPENING UP VERY SELECTIVE WITHOUT AUDIENCE. WITH THAT RESPECT ALSO IS ADULT RECREATIONAL SPORTS OPERATORS AND ADULT RECREATIONAL SPORTS WITH LIMITED NUMBERS. AND THEN YOU HAVE WATER PARK OPERATORS AND VISITORS THAT ARE STARTING TO OPEN UP THOSE PLANS AS WELL. AND DRIVING SCHOOLS.

SO WE'LL DEFINITELY SEE SOME MORE PEOPLE IN THE ROADS GETTING READY TO BE DEFENSIVE AND OFFENSIVE DRIVERS.

THAT IS THE END OF THE REPORT. ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE.

>> JUST WONDERING ALEX IF THE CITY OF WOOD CREEK IS THEIR PROGRAM STILL OPERATING RIGHT NOW AND THE SPACE FOR FIRST RESPONDERS WONDERING IF ANY OF THOSE ARE TAKING THAT

OPPORTUNITY. >> SOME HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF IT BECAUSE IT'S FOR THE FAMILIES TOGETHER AS A UNIT TO BE ABLE TO BE IN ONE OF THOSE LODGING AREAS.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED IN SPEAKING WITH THE COUNCIL NEBZ WIMBERLEY THAT IS STILL -- COUNCIL MEMBERS IN WIMBERLEY THAT IS STILL AN AREA TO BE. THERE WE'RE LOOKING AT FAMILIES UP AND DOWN THE CORRIDOR BECAUSE WE'RE SEEING A LOT MORE EXPOSURE TO INDIVIDUALS THAT NEED TO BE ISOLATED.

THAT WAY IT'S CLOSER TO OUR FAMILIES.

AT SAME TIME THESE ARE SITUATIONS WHERE THE FIRST RESPONDER WOULD BE NEEDED TO BE ISOLATED TO THE FAMILY AND ENSURE THAT THEY ARE NOT AFFECTING FAMILY MEMBERS AS PART OF THE EXPOSURE. SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE WE CAN GET THEM TO QUICKLY AND EVEN IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN LATE IN THE EVENING AND TRANSITION INTO OTHER LOCATIONS SHOULD WE SEE THE NEED FOR THAT. BUT I APPRECIATE THAT, YES, SIR.

YES, SIR. >> I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION.

[00:50:05]

I READ THE PLAN THAT JUDGE STEEL PUT OUT.

I THINK IT'S GOT SOME REAL POSITIVES TO IT.

JUST THE LOGISTICS OF SOME OF THE THINGS ESPECIALLY IN THE INDIVIDUAL TO THE INDIVIDUAL PRECINCT OFFICES.

THEY ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBILITYIES AND I DON'T -- IMPOSSIBILITYIES.

-- IMPOSSIBILITYIES. I'M NOT SAYING IT'S NOT A DECENT PLAN BEFORE. WE FINALIZE ANYTHING WITH THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE BECAUSE AT END OF THE DAY IT'S WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD ON HOW THE LOGISTICS WILL WORK.

IT'S WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD.

>> ALSO I SEE NEWS CREATING THE PLAN TO RESPOND TO THAT IS THE OVERALLER IS ADVISE OF OUR POSSIBLITIES AND HOW THEY WILL MEET SERVICE NEEDS TAMMY HAS BEEN PRETTY ACTIVE IN CREATESING A PLAN TO ADDRESS THOSE NEESMDS THE MORE PERFECTING MATIC TRAINING IS COMING INTO PLACE FOR THEM.

WE'RE CREATING BARRIERS AND PLEXIGLASS, CREATING YOUR SAFE DISTANCING, AND THEN ALSO WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT STILL THE NUMBER ONE WAY FOR DISINFECTION FOR YOUR HANDS, SOAP AND WATER.

IT STILL BEATS ANY OTHER METHOD. WE'RE TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO BE CALM AND UTILIZE. THAT IT'S ALSO A LOT BETTER FOR YOUR SKIN AND YOUR HANDS. ALSO SOME OF THE OTHER MITIGATION EFFORTS OF KEEPING YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM YOUR FACE AND MOUTH THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS.

WE'RE TRYING TO BE PRAGMATIC AS IT RELATES TO DOLLARS SAVED ACROSS THE BOARD. EVEN THOUGH WE SHOULDN'T BE LOOKING FOR HAD A I THINK WATER AND SOAP IS A 2C3W ALTERNATIVE

TO USING HAND SANITIZER. >> THANK YOU, MR. VILLALOBOS.

APPRECIATE IT. >> ONE OTHER COMMENT, JUDGE.

I'M SORRY. I REALLY WANT TO THANK TAMMY AND THE ENTIRE CHAIN. I KNOW THAT Y'ALL HAVE STEPPED UP ON THE REQUEST FOR TESTING ON THE EAST SIDE OF I-35 AND MAYBE SOME INDIVIDUALS THAT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET TESTING OTHERWISE.

AND SO I REALLY APPRECIATE Y'ALL LOOKING INTO THOSE AREAS, WHERE WE MAY B ABLE TO DO SOME OF THE TESTING.

I'M CERTAINLY OPEN TO HAVING TEST OUR COUNTY, BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MAY BE AN AREA THAT WE NEED TO TARGET.

>> I THINK ONE ITEM THAT I DIDN'T REALLY GET TO MENTION REALLY IS AS IT REIT RATES OUR LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT HAS DONE WITH REGARDS TO THE SPANISH LANGUAGE, DISSEMINATION OF MATERIALS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.

I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT. AND REALLY WHICH JUST HAVING UNOFFICIAL CONVERSATIONS ON, THE INCREASE OF THE INFECTION RATE WITH CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHICS REALLY TOOK IT TO HOME, AND WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE THAT TO THE CITY OF KYLE AND CREATE A TASK FORCE FOR MESSAGING. AND WE ARE DOUBLING DOWN ON WHAT THEY ARE DOING OVER THERE ALREADY ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE COUNTY, AND THE CITY OF KYLE IS ALSO CREATING MESSAGING THAT'S IN SPANISH AS WELL. AND WE'RE GOING BEYOND JUST THE CITY LIMITS. WE'RE GOING WELL WITHIN THE SOLUTION THAT WE ARE REACHING OUT TO TO THOSE COMMUNITYIES IN VERY CREATIVE WAYS NOT JUST FOR THE LANGUAGE BUT ALSO WITH GRAPHICS TO SHOW FOR SOME PEOPLE IT CAN BE EASIER THE REASON FOR PURPOSE AND TAKING CARE OF OURSELVES.

BY WEARING MASKS AND KEEPING SOCIAL DISTANCE.

AND TO UNDERSTAND OF THE ENVIRONMENT WHERE SOME OF THESE PEOPLE WORK. GIVING THEM AN IDEA AND ROLE PLAY THAT IMPORTANCE OF THAT. THAT HAS BEEN GREATS.

AND WE HAVE OTHER MUNICIPALITIES THAT THE COUNTY IS PUTTING OUT WITH THEIR GRAPHICS AND WHAT THE CITY IS DOING.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
