Adoption of Resolution Continuing the Declaration of the Existence of a Local Emergency in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, Consistent with Government Code Section 8630(c). (City Manager 2110)
All right. And that one was pulled by Councilmember Herrera Spencer, I think. Thank you, Mayor. I don't really think that this will take that much time, but I did want to speak to it because I actually. This is to and the local emergency state of emergency or actually the most the item is to continue it. And I and I received an email and I think a lot of people did today from our city staff, which I appreciate that as of today, 85.1% of our meetings that are eligible to have received the COVID vaccine have received at least one vaccine. 71, which is currently 12 years old, and 71.4% of Alameda EMS that are eligible are now fully vaccinated because the 12 year olds were just recently eligible May 13th. And it takes a few weeks in between each one before it's actually considered effective or complete as these numbers of who's fully vaccinated within that group. I would expect to go up within the next week or so whenever we get new numbers. And I do want to commend our meetings for getting vaccinated. We have, as someone had shared earlier, very high numbers. In fact, as a state, we also have high numbers. My understanding is least the last report I saw, we have at least 71% of our adult population has at least one vaccine. And we have one of the lowest COVID 19 case rates in the country. Another data point that I've been monitoring, I know many of us have been has is what what what's going on with the hospitals, the bed occupancy and the most recent information I can find for Alameda Hospital. Of inpatient beds currently being occupied is 33.2%, and that was as of May 28. And then in regards to the ICU beds being. Okay. Okay, I'm going to exercise my prerogative as the chair and I'm going to call the question. And what that means is we are going to take a vote. There is no discussion. We're going to take an up and down vote whether to suspend discussion on this item now. And if we have a majority for that motion, then we will go forward and vote on item five. I so I'm calling for the question. Do I have a second on that. From. Vice mayor of L.A., your seconding. May we have a roll call vote, please? That's my vacation. I will wait. For the. Order. So what is the. Basis of calling? The basis of calling this and calling? The question now is that it is almost 10:00 at night. We are still on the consent calendar. We have some very significant, substantial items. What happens is. As Roberts rolls, that's what I meant. Let's. It's procedural counsel. Madam Clerk, you went to. The Robert's Rules of Order does allow for calling the question. Okay. All right. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. So that was your question. All right. So sorry. I'm sorry. I apologize if I snapped at you, but I'm very mindful of almost 100 people in the audience. So, deep breath. May we have a roll call vote, please, on the coffee question. Councilmember de SAG. I know her, Spencer. And no knocks like High Villa High Mayor as Ash Carter I. All right. Do I? Thank you. That motion passes. Thank you, Madam Clerk. May I have a motion on the adoption of item five I? Adoption of resolution continue has been moved by the vice mayor. I see Councilmember Knox White's hand up. All right. And there's no further discussions. It's a roll call vote. That's my rotation. I agree. Spencer. No. Knox way. Hi. Villa. Hi. Mayor. As the Ashcroft. I. That carries 4 to 1. Thank you, Madam Clerk. With that, we adjourn. They re closed the consent calendar. Now, this is what I'm going to do. We've already been going almost 3 hours. And you know my zoom rule, we take a break after 2 hours. However, we have got our appointees to the Social Service Human Relations Board waiting. I think they're still waiting to to be voted in, presumably by you and then to be administered the oath of office. So they will be able to attend and participate in the next meeting of the Social Service Human Relations Committee, one of our several , many very important boards and commissions, Vice Mayor Vela.
