1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,560 I call the March 17, 2020 special meeting of the Modak County's Board of Supervisors to 2 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:21,080 order. Please silence all electronic devices. Supervisor Collins, will you lead us in the 3 00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:22,080 pledge of allegiance? 4 00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:33,080 I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which 5 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:40,080 it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 6 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,080 Thank you. 7 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:47,080 Pastor McCurry, our moment of prayer, please. 8 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,080 Dear Lord Jesus, we just come before you right now. 9 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:59,080 Lord, the decisions that are being made across your country, Lord, we just pray for godly 10 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:07,080 wisdom in all the various venues that are making decisions to keep our citizens safe. 11 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:18,080 Lord, we pray that we would use faith instead of fear, wisdom instead of worry, and prayer 12 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:25,080 instead of panic as we deal with the issue of this unseen bug that's doing so much devastation 13 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,080 across our world and disrupting life as we know it. 14 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:36,080 But Lord, we know that we can count on you to help us to assist us. 15 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:44,080 And Lord, we just pray your protection over our town, our county, our country, our state, 16 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,080 our world. 17 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:50,080 And Lord, we just pray that you would just give wisdom to those in leadership above 18 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:55,080 us to do the right things to protect our citizens. 19 00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:02,080 And Lord, may we just take this time and opportunity, Lord, is just to draw close to 20 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,080 you, Lord. 21 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:08,080 You are the source of all healing, of all hope, of all health. 22 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,080 And so, Lord, when we don't know what to do, Lord, we turn to you. 23 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,080 So we're turning to you right now. 24 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:20,080 Give our supervisors divine wisdom, Lord, in how to handle the situation in our county. 25 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:27,080 And Lord, we pray as special shield of protection around Warner View, around our senior citizens 26 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,080 in our community. 27 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:35,080 Keep them safe, Lord, from this virus that they're so susceptible to. 28 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,080 And we just ask that in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. 29 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,080 Amen. 30 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,080 Amen.

00:03:58,080 Any further discussion from the board? 52 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,080 The public, all in favor? 53 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,080 Aye. 54 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,080 Any opposed? 55 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,080 No abstention? 56 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,080 Motion carries. 57 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:11,080 Item one, health services 1A, consideration action, requesting approval to ratify a 58 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:16,080 resolution to proclaim a local public health emergency due to the threat of 59 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,080 COVID-19. 60 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,080 Good afternoon, Stacey Sparr, interim director of health services. 61 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,080 I'm here on behalf of our local health officer, Edward P. 62 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,080 Rickert. 63 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,080 This is a request for the MoDOT County Board of Supervisors to ratify the 64 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,080 proclamation of the local health emergency that was declared by the 65 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,080 MoDOT County Health Officer, Dr. Rickert on 312, 2020. 66 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:43,080 On March 12th, the county health officer declared a local health 67 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,080 emergency for MoDOT County. 68 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,080 This declaration was in accordance to the California Health and Safety Code. 69 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:54,080 And this was declared in response to immediate imminent threat to the 70 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,080 induction of an infectious agent into our county known as the novel 71 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,080 coronavirus or also known as COVID-19. 72 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,080 This virus is considered to be a serious public health threat. 73 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,080 Although we have no confirmed cases that have been identified in MoDOT 74 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:17,080 County, Dr. Rickert anticipates cases of coronavirus or COVID-19 in MoDOT 75 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,080 County in the immediate future. 76 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:24,080 This declaring of this local emergency will enhance the county's 77 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,080 ability to prepare and respond when cases are identified. 78 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,080 And this declaration of the local health emergency also gives the MoDOT 79 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,080 County Public Health Officer some additional legal authorities to 80 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,080 protect the health of the communities within MoDOT County and to 81 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,080 obtain additional resources in order for us to respond to this 82 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,080 novel coronavirus. 83 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:52,080 We began our efforts in addressing the novel coronavirus about a 84 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,080 month ago where we opened our DOC on March 16th. 85 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,080 We found that our resources were being exceeded at public 86 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,080 health, so we have rolled into the EOC and a joint unified 87 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:07,080 command system with me as the IC representing Dr. Rickert as his 88 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,080 designee and the sheriff, Tex Dowdy. 89 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:15,080 And since then, we have been planning and rolling out different 90 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,080 guidances throughout the county in order to protect the people of our 91 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,080 county, the health and the safety. 92 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:27,080 I'm going to say just for the public's IC is Incident 93 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,080 Commanders at Christ. 94 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,080 Yes. 95 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,080 Sorry about the acronyms. 96 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,080 No problem. 97 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,080 Motion to approve. 98 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,080 Second. 99 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,080 We have a motion and a second. 100 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,080 Any further discussion or questions from the board? 101 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,080 I just have a question. 102 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,080 So are you currently recommending groups of 25 or groups of 10 103 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,080 after yesterday's press conference? 104 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,080 We're reviewing the guidance that was given out by the 105 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,080 governor and we're seeing what's really applicable to our 106 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,080 county. 107 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,080 The executive order that was put out is really giving the 108 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,080 local officials the authority to roll out the guidance as it 109 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,080 meets the needs of our community. 110 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,080 We don't have any cases, but we are looking at guidance to 111 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,080 make sure we're protecting the public health, but we're also 112 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,080 not harming businesses and such. 113 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,080 So we're working through that unified command system to make 114 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,080 those decisions. 115 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:21,080 Any other questions or discussion? 116 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:26,080 Any discussion from the public? 117 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,080 All in favor? 118 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,080 Aye. 119 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,080 Any opposed? 120 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,080 No abstention? 121 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,080 Motion carries. 122 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,080 Thank you. 123 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:41,080 Item two, sheriff 2A consideration action requesting approval to 124 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,080 ratify a resolution to proclaim a local emergency due to the 125 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,080 threat of COVID-19. 126 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,080 Good afternoon. 127 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,080 Texas County Sheriff and Office of Emergency Services 128 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,080 Director. 129 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:59,080 As all of you know with the coronavirus going around that we 130 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,080 are taking this extremely serious. 131 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,080 And on March 12th, 2020, I declared a local emergency because 132 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,080 of the impact of COVID-19 was having on our community. 133 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,080 Although COVID-19, we have no cases of COVID-19 in our 134 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,080 community. 135 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,080 Currently, we are quickly exhausting our resources. 136 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,080 As you know, our threshold is very, very low. 137 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,080 This crisis is predicted to last for several months. 138 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,080 And we are extremely concerned that without financial support from 139 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,080 the state and federal government, it has the potential to 140 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,080 cripple our county for years to come. 141 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,080 Therefore, I'm asking you today to ratify this emergency 142 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,080 declaration. 143 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,080 Motion to approve. 144 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,080 Second. 145 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,080 We have a motion and a second. 146 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,080 Any further discussion from the board? 147 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,080 On the public. 148 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,080 All in favor. 149 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,080 Aye. 150 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,080 Any opposed? 151 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,080 No abstention. 152 00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:00,080 Motion carries. 153 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,080 Item 3, Board of Supervisors, 3A, consideration action 154 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,080 requesting approval of a resolution establishing interim 155 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,080 personnel policies related to COVID-19. 156 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,080 Chester Robertson, Modoc County Administrative Officer. 157 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,080 So as a result of these declarations, they will 158 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,080 have an impact on our county staff. 159 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,080 And we need to address our personnel policies to be able 160 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,080 to address those potential impacts. 161 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,080 There are seven elements of this interim policies. 162 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,080 These are based on review by County Council, 163 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,080 the Chair, Vice Chair, Administration, 164 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,080 and based on samples that we reviewed in the 165 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,080 member of other agencies and tailored to meet some 166 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,080 of our local needs. 167 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,080 The first aspect of this will allow the 168 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,080 department heads with the approval of the administrative 169 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,080 office with the enable employees if we need to 170 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,080 to have employees work remotely. 171 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,080 Again, the authorizations, examples of why we can't 172 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,080 just have everybody while we hear that happen 173 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,080 in other locations. 174 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,080 There's resource constraints to our community. 175 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,080 For instance, we're working to address resource 176 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,080 constraints for information technology. 177 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,080 It's not possible that we can have all people 178 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,080 remotely. 179 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,080 Some departments in order to provide the central 180 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,080 public service, they have to occur at our 181 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,080 place of business. 182 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,080 We will identify as those requests come if it becomes 183 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,080 necessary on a case-by-case basis and also be 184 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,080 communicating with the incident command structure. 185 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,080 The second one aspect of this resolution, 186 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,080 it allows employees that are exposed to the 187 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,080 COVID-19 virus. 188 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,080 It addresses the volunteer quarantine and it 189 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,080 addresses the approval process for documentation 190 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,080 and it addresses that this becomes the 191 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,080 appropriate leave balances that could be utilized 192 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,080 for that. 193 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,080 The third one addresses the impacts that we're 194 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,080 already seeing. 195 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,080 For instance, employees who have minor children 196 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,080 who are unable to attend school due to illness, 197 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,080 quarantine, school closures of COVID-19 or can't 198 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,080 find childcare arrangements as a result of 199 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,080 other impacts external to the county. 200 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,080 That enables them to have methods to work 201 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,080 remotely or to use sick leave or other forms 202 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,080 of leave balances. 203 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,080 And we will work on having appropriate forms 204 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,080 work in our county council that would address 205 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,080 the documentation that would occur with that. 206 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,080 And we also have talked with the auditor's office. 207 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,080 This fourth element of this resolution would 208 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,080 allow for the advancement of leave balances for 209 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,080 employees that do not have sufficient leave in 210 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,080 the event that they have quarantine. 211 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,080 It allows for them with those advance of those 212 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,080 leave accrual balances. 213 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,080 It makes provisions for having an agreement 214 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,080 between the employee and the county and 215 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,080 provision for repayment of those balances 216 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,080 over a period of time and or at the time 217 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,080 of separation of employment. 218 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,080 It also provides some other elements 219 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,080 related to medical certification. 220 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,080 It's the fifth element of there. 221 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,080 It also places the timeline for this resolution. 222 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,080 These are good for 30 days and less renewed 223 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,080 or modified by the board at a subsequent action. 224 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,080 And then it makes provisions for us 225 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,080 in our addressing this with the labor unions 226 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,080 in order to effectively correspond. 227 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,080 Thank you. 228 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,080 Motion

system. 260 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,080 To just elaborate on what Sheriff just said, 261 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,080 the CAL FIRE and U.S. Forest Service 262 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,080 are providing personnel 263 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,080 on the incident command structure 264 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,080 to assist as is. 265 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,080 OES and Robert, I did not

00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,080 So even though I'm getting this, I have a question 270 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,080 that maybe someone here can answer. 271 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,080 As people come to us in the community 272 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,080 or are having problems with their businesses 273 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,080 because of this, 274 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,080 is there someone in the county 275 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,080 who they should go see? 276 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,080 So we'll actually have information coming to you guys tonight 277 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,080 and we want to actually do a business leave 278 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,080 on Rose for a lot of police things. 279 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,080 She's reaching out to businesses 280 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,080 and there's some funding that's going to come available 281 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,080 probably to be passed today. 282 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,080 Okay. 283 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,080 Or employees out of work 284 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,080 would not be the same thing. 285 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,080 For the owners and for the employees. 286 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,080 Okay. 287 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,080 So in a lot of programs, 288 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,080 they're all getting pulled out. 289 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,080 So we can get them on this 290 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,080 and get them on the project. 291 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,080 You guys will get a summary 292 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,080 and we'll actually

00:15:00,080 I'd like to ask you... 297 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,000 To maybe just speak briefly about what the plan is for informing the public as things, 298 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:13,000 new information such as this is shared with the public and the board, those that have not been involved. 299 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:23,000 We opened up our public phone line today. It's 233-1350. It's on both public health 300 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,000 and Sheriff's Office Facebook so people can call in and we can point them in the right direction 301 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,000 for resources. We're really trying to tie into the senior population and get them on a list 302 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,000 especially if they're self-isolating so that we can check in on them and make sure they're getting 303 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,000 everything they can and help them if they need prescriptions picked up or they can get signed up 304 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:47,000 for the meals delivered from the senior center. We're working closely with our partners at Teach 305 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:54,000 to make sure they're not overloaded with all of this too and make sure their resources are all there. 306 00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:00,000 We'll have posts every day on our Facebook page and on our website there's a red bar underneath 307 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:07,000 the picture that has an alert that will link you to all the county admin page, public health, 308 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:13,000 our Facebook page and everywhere we're posting. We're encouraging people to share our posts 309 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:18,000 so that factual information is getting to people to keep the rumors at bay. 310 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,000 And then we'll have stuff in the paper and on the radio as well. 311 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:27,000 And we're sending flyers out in the deliveries tomorrow for food deliveries to the seniors 312 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:33,000 to catch those people that don't do social media or might not have a paper subscription. 313 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:39,000 My sister in law, Elizabeth Bay Area, got a test because they closed down, 314 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:44,000 they basically house arrested everybody down there. Do we have that, 315 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,000 if things were to turn really bad, do we have that capability? 316 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,000 We do, so we use Code Red for our warning alert system and there's a, on our website, 317 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,000 they can sign up for that. They do have to sign up for that, but if they have a landline 318 00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:01,000 they would automatically get that for reverse 911. We're not there yet, so we're not, 319 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,000 but if we need to use it, it's there. 320 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,000 The daily planning and community meeting. 321 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,000 There is a cooperators meeting, a cooperators and a community meeting at 10 o'clock every day 322 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,000 at the Vets Hall. If anybody wants to come, we go over kind of what we're working on 323 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:25,000 and we take all the concerns at that time so we can come back and work on them at the EOC. 324 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:31,000 So there's representatives from the business, businesses, hospitals, every, 325 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:36,000 it's the whole county at this point. We've had amazing participation 326 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,000 and offers of help and it's, we're really lucky that we all get along 327 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:48,000 and can work together and collaborate because we really need to right now. 328 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:56,000 Anything else? Hearing none, meeting adjourned. Thank you.
