Cheryl Nelson and members of the board. We have one request to speak and that is on administrative item number 19

Okay, let's go ahead and move forward with that one. Then we'll take a motion to accept all the administrative items at once.

Chair Nelson and members of the board administrative item number 19 is sponsored by Supervisor Hartman. This is to adopt a resolution proclaiming the week of February 28th, 2021 through March 6th, 2021 as Peace Corps Week in Santa Barbara County and we have one request to speak on this item and that is Naomi Kovacs.

Ms. Kovacs welcome back to the board when you're ready.

Thank you. It's great to see you all. Can you hear me? We

can.

Okay, great and it's fun to be on this side of things. As president of the Santa Barbara Peace Corps Association, I want to extend our organization's sincere appreciation of your board's recognition of the Peace Corps' 60th anniversary and Peace Corps Week which is an annual worldwide event commemorating President Kennedy's establishment of the Peace Corps on March 1st 1961.

We're also grateful for your recognition of the Santa Barbara Peace Corps Association, the Los Angeles Regional Peace Corps office and local returned Peace Corps volunteers for their roles in advancing the Peace Corps mission locally here in Santa Barbara County. UCSB has a long and solid history of producing Peace Corps volunteers And Santa Barbara County has a strong presence of returned Peace Corps volunteers who've come home from their service as global citizens with unique cross-cultural perspectives, as well as leadership, language, teaching and community development skills that provide value in today's global economy and also here locally.

If anyone tuning in right now is interested in learning more about the Peace Corps, they can go to peacecorps.gov and if anyone's interested in connecting locally with our group whether they're a returned Peace Corps volunteer who wants to find other returned Peace Corps volunteers or a teacher who'd like return volunteer to speak to their class about Peace Corps or their personal Peace Corps experiences or any organizations who'd like to have a guest speaker from our group They can Google Santa Barbara Peace Corps Association and get in touch with us.

So thanks again for this recognition and for the opportunity to say a few words.

Thank you, Naomi. At this time I'd like to get a Supervisor Williams.

Thank you, Naomi. I really appreciate you highlighting the Peace Corps as someone who believes in universal service. It's something that we should think about the contributions that people make and appreciate you coming back to the board and saying hi.

Amen. Alright, thank you Supervisor William. At this time I'll take a motion for the entire administrative agenda so moved. Can I get a second? Second any further discussion? Madam Clerk please call the roll

motion passes unanimously.

Right now is the time

public comment this morning okay And if you are a member of the public logging into the meeting this morning and you have not joined the Zoom meeting yet, please do so now. I see there are a number of requests that have not logged in yet. So if you are a member of the public and you have requested to speak on general public comments this morning, please log in now.

All right, we're going to go ahead and actually take a pause on public comment and actually take a five minute break. We'll be back with you at 912. Thank you. All right, back to the board. Apologize we had some technical issues there and I want to apologize to those of the members of the public that are here for general public comment due to the fact that we have a time constraint for our Public Health Officer.

We have a limited time that he will be available so what we're going to do now is actually delay general public comment after item D1. I do apologize for the inconvenience but we need to be considerate of the time of the Public Health Officer Right now so and before we do D1, we're actually going to jump to D4. We're looking to do a I believe a continuance there.

Supervisor Hartman? I would move that we continue D4 to March 9th 2021.

Second. One moment County Council.

Chair and Supervisors, I understand that we've received correspondence from both parties but if we have the parties available it would make sense to just hear from them and that they acquiesce or agree to that continuance to the 9th.

All right Mr. Candy and Miss Petrovich would you be able just to hop on for a second to confirm that is the desire of the applicant and the appellant? Absolutely, yes. Thank you Mr

Candidate. Yes yeah the Peter candy speaking on behalf of the applicant. We are fully in support of the continuance we've reached a settlement which is actually very exciting for us and we're looking forward to getting that implemented we're working with staff Now, to come forward with some revisions to the project description as well as a condition of approval of the project. To present to you at your next meeting. Thank you Mr candy Miss

Petrovich.

We concur Mr

chair

thank you appreciate it your brevity

and Mr chair just recommend also that the clerk of the board rule out any public comment on the continuance issue.

All right so Madam Clerk is there any public comment on the issue of continuance of this item?

Chair Nelson and members of the board, we have not received any public comment on the continuance of this item.

So I will close public comment for this item and is there any further discussion among my colleagues? Not seeing any can I get...I think we do have a motion already in a second Madam Clerk would you please call the roll?

Motion passes unanimously.

Okay, thank you everybody for letting us get that out of the way next item is departmental item number one and just a reminder to the general to the public we will take general public comment after item D1. D1 will be at least an hour so as you're looking at your time um be prepared to come back in an hour or a little bit longer than that so thank you we'll try to get back to you soon. So

Turn Nelson and members of the board departmental item number 1 is from the county executive office. It is a hearing to consider recommendations regarding an update on the coronavirus disease, 2019 cobit 19.

Good morning chair Nelson and members of the board thank you for accommodating doctor answers scheduled this morning and with that if I may have my presentation up. Next. This morning's briefing topics will include our usual Santa Barbara County COVID-19 data update, as well as sharing with your board the anticipated blueprint metrics to be released by CDPH at noon today. We will also update your board on our vaccination efforts, our support of the schools with the school's plans, Director of OEM Kelly Hubbard will be speaking on compliance and enforcement.

Next. This graph describes our case status and is available on our website at publichealthsbc.org. So over the last two weeks, gauging from February 15th through March 1st active cases have decreased by 45%, which is really good news. Unfortunately deaths have increased by 17%. With the final number at 300, I'm sorry, at 413. Hospitalizations have also decreased by 50% from 119 to now 59 ICU rates continue to decrease and during this period by 32%.

So this is really good news. This is what we need to see with regards to the transmission Of COVID-19 in our community next. This graph describes our seven day rolling sum of new cases by the areas from February 11th through February 25th. We are continuing to see decreases in all of our regions with the highest being again another week, the highest decrease is experienced in Isla Vista so that is another Good testament to the work that the county in partnership with I love this community in partnership with UCSB.

Next. This is our anticipated data for the blueprint metrics again to be released by noon this by noon today from CDPH. Our Santa Barbara County metrics are adjusted case rate will be 13. And that number has been adjusted from 15. And the adjustment factor this week is about 0.87. The median test for the state is 346.59 and our county number is at 436.5, so we were minorly adjusted to 13.

Our positivity rate, again good news. Good trend to see it is at 5.1 with our health equity metric positivity rate being at 8.2 so again in summary we are heading downward in a good direction another way of next Another way of depicting our trends is the graph that you are seeing. This is our Santa Barbara County seven day average community test positivity percent as you can see, the testing positivity is decreasing and for this rating period. This is our graph on the seven-day average adjusted case rate per 100,000 community residents.

Continuing to seeing the downward trend, the adjusted case rate from previous week we see a decrease of 23%. So this is really good. Again, good news that we're moving towards the right direction and really wanting to thank our community for their commitment and their vigilance in wearing their mask safe distancing and limiting the gathering next Next, next I'd like to talk about vaccine efforts starting with our vaccine allocation. And this is a graph just to give your board a sense of our allocation and early in January When we were possibly at a very minimal stage where we were getting very, very insignificant number of vaccines. We're seeing an increase as we anticipated and so our allocation has increased and this is only first doses.

We're not even talking about the second doses but increase from the last week's allocation. So with additional vaccine production from Pfizer and from Moderna, with the federal partnerships to CVS and Rite Aid, and the federal partnerships to our community health centers, our own county healthcare centers as well as CHC we are as a community getting an infusion An increase of vaccines across the board.

Next, I'd like to share with your board an update about the farm worker vaccination pilot that we did last weekend. So the goal for this pilot is really for us as a public health department as and for the community to work through cultural and linguistic barriers faced at vaccination clinics in order to respond to the unique needs of our, uh, of the communities presented. So this is in alignment with the strong encouragement from CDPH to do vaccination, to plan for vaccination through an equity lens. Our partners in planning for this pilot included We were able to work with our community partners, such as cause my cop.

496 vaccines this past Sunday at our Santa Maria Health Care Center. In addition to providing vaccines, we also provided health education, providing information on legal medical wellness support and services that are available in our community I'm going to start by saying thank you to all of our community members who made this possible via our county and our partner organizations.

We also had five interpreters on hand to assist with Spanish and multiple Mixteco dialects. And we want to thank Gerencia Indígena for their partnership in providing the interpreters. We also had medical consultation, and of course the vaccination and appointment registration. So everything was conducted really in a bilingual trilingual setting And I walked through the lines and got an opportunity to speak with many of the community members, and the overall sense was really happiness and excitement.

And next. This is the current state of vaccine distribution in our county. We have moved beyond phase 1A with the healthcare workers, however they are still eligible and we are still vaccinating healthcare workers and the 75 plus. And also still eligible is the phase 1B community members Which means adults 65 plus years of age, we are still vaccinating community members in this phase. And newly eligible as of this week are the remainder of the Phase 1B including three sectors. The emergency services sector, the food and ag workers sector, as well as the education and childcare. And so we have ramped up our, our providers are vaccine providers. Our partners are also participating in the vaccination of the newly eligible phase 1 B as well as again continuing with a phase 1 a and the 65 plus next.

What is different this week is our adherence to state guidelines to do a 7030 vaccine distribution plan. So what that means is of our total allocation, 70% of that allocation will be going to our healthcare system to serve the 65 plus And a part of that is that our hospitals as well as our Sansum Clinic has agreed to serving the 65 plus. In addition, we'll also be serving next week the transitional kindergarten through the 12th grade education sector as well as higher education. The remaining 30% will go to the public health community vaccination sites for the sectors that include food and agricultural child care and emergency services next.

I'd like to spend a little bit more time delving into what the 7030 vaccine distribution plan means for education. So for transitional kindergarten through 12th grade staff and teachers, the priority groups are determined by the school superintendents so the four categories priority groups Includes the first being staff serving students who are unable to wear masks, who are medically fragile or require support that does not allow for physical distancing. The second priority group includes staff with significant contact with others in person and or close proximity to others. And mixing across multiple stable groups and, or locations. The third priority group includes staff working in-person with direct contacts with students or other staff with minimal to no mixing.

And the last group are the staff working in person with limited exposure to other people or working remotely. This week, Lompoc Valley Medical Center will be vaccinating the first priority group and dipping into the second with evening and weekend hours. And again we are appreciative of the partnership we have with Lompoc Valley Medical Center as well as with our school superintendents in coordinating the staff for the vaccine appointments.

Moving forward, higher education. We will be convening a planning group this week with stakeholders in higher education to plan for what vaccination in higher education will look like next. And further vaccine news, as you may have heard on Saturday Johnson and Johnson did receive emergency use authorization. We did hear that the anticipated shipment to California and this was last week's number so.

We're thinking that it may be more, but at least California as of last week was anticipating 380,000 doses. At this point in time we do not know what the allocation for Santa Barbara County is and we anticipate our allocation Our weekly letter to be received either by the end of today or early tomorrow. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is a single dose vaccine, it does not need ultra cold storage. It can be stored at regular refrigerator temperature which is an amazing advantage for our providers.

It does provide strong protection against severe disease and death. It does provide quicker protection two weeks after the shot, and known to have less serious side effects, and has been demonstrated to perform against variants. So these are really, really exciting news that we have this third option. We will await guidance from CDPH With regards to the population to be served, but nonetheless we are incredibly excited at this new option for a convenient one dose easy to store quick acting vaccine for our providers as well as our community.

Next next. I'm updating your board on school reopening plans, and we are reviewing the Atlanta Charter School as well as the water loop a Union Elementary School District, as well as the family partnership charter school. So when we say that these three schools, we are reviewing their school safety plans. It means that we are providing technical assistance so that their plan is as rigorous and robust as possible to meet the expectations of the state.

Next. As I mentioned earlier, we do anticipate the happy moment or the happy news is that with our adjusted case rate. The wonderful news is that as we anticipate our case rates to fall beneath 14, The high-risk youth sports to be reopened outdoors. Next, so with the school guidance recently issued from CDPH Outdoors High Contact Sport is allowed once a county like ours has the adjusted case rate falling below 14 per 100,000.

So what this means is that outdoors high contact sports such as basketball, football hockey rugby rowing soccer and water polo can resume. But the reopening and restarting of these sports are with conditions. And I've highlighted some conditions for your board, but the complete document can be is available online so that some of the requirements include weekly testing for coaches and four players football rugby and water polo who are at least 13 years old and testing results must be available within 24 hours of competition.

With regards to competitions, they are permitted but only between teams within the same county or from bordering counties where the sport is allowed. Other requirements include face covering and social distancing as well as sanitation and hygiene and limited audience participation or present. And again, the guidance document can be found at cdph.ca.gov. Next, I'd like to end with a encouragement that along with masking and along with social distancing and limited gathering to encourage our community members in Santa Barbara County to pursue testing, especially if you are uncertain about your exposure or especially if you have gathered or been involved in activities where you have come into contact with people outside of your household. And so more testing will mean that we can discover the asymptomatic cases sooner And in addition, more testing will mean more reopening ultimately.

And so there is testing available throughout our county. Please visit our website at publichealthsbc.org for additional information on testing. And with that, I would like to introduce Kelly Hubbard who will be doing the COVID-19 compliance and enforcement.

Dr. DiRenoso and Kelly if you could hold on because I know we don't have Dr. Anzorg for very long and so Chair Nelson do you want to open it up for questions?

Yeah I'd like to make sure that my colleagues have a chance to ask some questions of Dr. DiRenoso or Dr. Anzorg before we move on to the enforcement conversation. Supervisor Hartman

Thank you, I have two questions. The first is if you have been vaccinated can you still be a asymptomatic carrier? And the second is congratulations on the successful pilot and did we learn any lessons from that would we do it any differently or what's the takeaway?

Jen Nelson and Supervisor Hartman, let me take the first question. To date it's not absolutely clear whether somebody who has been fully vaccinated could still transmit the virus. There is a possibility that somebody who is fully vaccinated can have a very mild or asymptomatic COVID case and therefore spread the virus. There's ongoing research on this subject because it is, of course, of great importance.

Because we don't want to short sell our vaccination obviously but we also want to be safe so therefore the recommendation by CDC and every health organization is even if you're vaccinated please continue to wear your face covering

And if I might just follow on, if you've been vaccinated should you continue to get

tested? If you are in a occupation where certain surveillance testing is required then yes. You should continue to participate in this surveillance testing depending on the occupation you're in. However, I would say that if you are a community member. and you can feel more comfortable. I think this is out of the abundance of precaution that we're doing this for healthcare workers, that we continue to test them even though they're fully vaccinated and wearing masks just out of abundance of caution. And for regular people, I think they can rely on their being protected With regards to our

farm worker pilot on Sunday, it was successful and would we do anything different? And what did we learn?

We learned that it takes a, we learned that it takes trusted community leaders and partners to be able to enroll what was difficult about enrolling the 500 farm workers was that. Our prep mod, which is our state registration system requires an email for confirmation of the appointment and many of our community members did not have that. So it was amazing to have community partners who could register The first thing we learned was that because we had staffed the clinic with bilingual and bicultural So rather than waiting and grabbing one or two bilingual staff who can run over, everyone was in that space where we could do communication in real time in the preferred language. So that was our second learning. The third learning was that we learned that we can do a 500 clinic with very minimal staff who are bilingual.

So we, I think had about 30 staff and we were a little bit worried because that's really a bare bones but we were very pleasantly surprised that everyone hustled and we were able to conduct a very efficient clinic using that staffing model. So those were some of the top learnings from my perspective. We did send out a poll, a survey actually to all of our partners involved in the planning, the registration as well as the implementation of the clinic so that we can call They're there. What went well, what didn't go so well and suggestions for improvement and our neighbor counties San Luis Obispo sent staff to observe and to participate because they are also So moving forward, we anticipate doing a debriefing with anyone interested in the process with our fellow counties because there are other counties interested in learning best practices from our experience as well.

I just want to thank you for getting the educator vaccinations going in what seems to be a logical manner, letting the actual Superintendents dictate the priorities, so we're facilitating their priorities of which educators and staff are vaccinated first. And so that we have the least possibility of people who Might be able to wait, being able to bump somebody who is in more immediate proximity with their fellow workers.

And I just think it's really important and I think it gives hope for a lot of parents and educators who are concerned for their kids, and concerned for the future of public education. And I really appreciate the department's role. I also just want to make a comment maybe out to the public which is That the farmworker clinic, you know revealed I think what's going on which is people behaving and some really.

Despicable ways, I would call it kind of life boat behavior where people who can swim well are bumping kids and the elderly out of the lifeboat in order to get in. And in this case some of the more egregious ones were People who attempted but you guys called them and caught them. I appreciate that. What a tech worker from Palmdale, some other examples but I hope that people will think about their actions before they attempt to do that.

If you're delivering groceries to your parent, you're not a caregiver. If you're a tech worker in Palmdale you're not an agricultural worker And if you live here, you're not a resident of LA and shouldn't be taking their vaccines.

All right. Thank you Supervisor Williams. Supervisor Lavinino do you have some questions for?

I do. I got-I have a couple questions and one of them I was very concerned about just kind of what some of the comments I just heard. So let's go back to people that are vaccinated in their ability to transmit. So would they be able to transmit vaccinated to vaccinated?

That's a really good question, Supervisor Lavagninou. I think honestly the likelihood is minimal minus school. It cannot be excluded completely and for that reason CDC hasn't felt comfortable changing the guidelines so far.

Okay.

Because that's one thing when they're vaccinated

Yeah, because I think what motivates people is this idea that there will be a return to normal. And that's what's going to drive people to go get vaccinated. But if we focus on that minuscule fractional percentage of people that might be able to still transmit the disease even though they've been vaccinated and maybe even somebody else has been vaccinated, I can't think of a better way to drive down participation in the vaccination program than to tell You know, you're still going to have these restrictions are still going to be issues. I think we got to focus on the more positive just like we're saying more testing means more opening. More vaccinations mean less restrictions and so I would just guard against really focusing on trying to motivate people that we can get back to normal.

So in light of that, one of the questions I have is about congregate care and. You know there's a lot of people in there that are fully vaccinated. The health care workers are vaccinated inside their the family members that want to go visit those people are fully vaccinated and so trying to figure out what the timeline is. There's a lot of people had been in in these congregate care settings for over now almost a year have never seen their families.

Has a timeline or any kind of guidelines of when that might open up for people that are actually vaccinated at this point.

Supervisor, let me just correct you just a little bit there is. Visitation allowed at all nursing homes and has been for a while. There's unlimited visitation allowance for outdoors, and there is allowance for indoor visitations just not in the patient room. Yes, there is. However, that's from CDPH and also from me, the local health officer. There is however some institutions, some facilities have a stricter guideline and they might have to look at their own policy but that is not mandated by the county health department nor by the state's health department. They do have visitation rights And CMS made that very clear. So it could be that some facilities don't feel comfortable, but it is not restricted by us.

It's very important for the elderly to be having visitation. I understand that.

Okay, perfect. So I just want to follow up on that real quick just to make sure that I understand that so an elderly person in congregate care that's been vaccinated can be visited indoors just not in their room by CDPH and our own public health guidelines.

That is correct, and it is not even contingent on their being vaccinated. Even if they are not vaccinated, they may be receiving visitation visitors yes. Okay. May I say may I make 1 comment to your 1st question sir? It's just I understand. I understand. that there's, there are at least two motivations to get vaccinated. I think the most pressing one is for people who are over 65 or even over 55 or have other health conditions not to get if they were to catch COVID not to get severely ill or die from this disease and that is what the vaccine does best.

So, that is a huge contingent in the population. And that is their motivation and that is driving them to get vaccinated. The people who really want things to open up is more are more than younger generations. CDPH is working really on getting the message out, what getting vaccinated will mean if you're not motivated by protecting yourself from severe illness. So more to come on that one.

Great thank you for that direction on the guidelines I appreciate that.

Supervisor Hart

I don't have a question at this time. Thank you.

All right, thank you. I've got a few questions getting back to youth sports for for a moment. Similar to what you're experiencing with the Columbus and cares, there's some schools that are putting in stricter measures for sports than what's being recommended by the state or what I anticipate to be recommended by the county. Are the measures being put forth by the state sufficient to reduce risk and be safe?

That's a very good question. Chair Nelson. CDPH made it very clear that if youth, the youngsters are involved in higher contact sports that the parents have to sign a consent and that is educational and also just to tell the parent you consent That your teenager, you know has a higher risk when they are involved in this kind of sport. And therefore we're helping with the regular testing and I think that will make a big difference.

And just like the professional athletes are doing in detecting potential positives very early and taking them out. So I think it's, it's very well thought out and I say, I feel comfortable recommending it. I think the benefit for the youngsters outweigh their risk.

Thank you Dr. Ansari, I really appreciate that. One more piece about the youth athletics. So in our, we'll go back to that disclaimer or the release of the parents have this sign I actually signed three of them this week myself just to put that on the record so I'm aware of it what I'm hearing from some of the other schools is that you know we in Santa Barbara County the way that works that were kind of bifurcated north and south that a lot of our northern schools participate with San Luis Obispo County and a lot of our southern Participate with Ventura County.

Are we working together to coordinate with those two counties to make sure that we're kind of on the same page as we move forward to streamline the process because I've heard even though we might both be in the same category, there's different standards between the two counties and there's some potential roadblocks that are really impacting our kids and you know what are you hearing all that in? And then I guess my request to you would if there's some abilities for us to maybe get all on Lead to some peace and some opportunities for our youth.

Yeah, Chair Nelson I very much appreciate your recommendation on that and I will follow up on that. Having said that San Luis Obispo County is in less restrictive tier so they are obviously having less restrictions than us in Ventura but those are our bordering counties and I will take that advice and we'll reach out to my partners there.

Thank you and I understand this for the public When the two counties compete, it's whatever is the more restrictive standard for that competition. As my understanding as we move forward in the county and hopefully by the time we're starting that were in red ourselves here in Santa Barbara County going back to vaccines for a moment I saw that we have the teachers and educators now in the 70%. So I know the state said we needed to dedicate 10% towards education. Is that 10%?

Assumed into that 70. Is that how that's working?

Yes, so that would be so it's the 10% of the 30 or 10% of the total allocation. It would be the same.

I know I saw though when you had it in slide number. Let me see if I go back to it for a second. I originally thought the way you said it was basically a third of the 30% but under slide number 12 we had that as in the 70%. And I didn't know if that was an error or not.

So yeah, I'm sorry about for that confusion. So in addition to the 70% set aside for the 65, the 10% that we have allocated towards child care and education, the hospitals would be getting a portion of that vaccine set aside.

OK, so still 10% of the 30%, or sorry 1 3rd is going to education, which leaves a balance of 20% for emergency services, food and agriculture and child care.

Yes.

Okay. And so I'm just gonna make my pitch or my position known because I think this is ultimately a policy decision is that you know that we spend maybe most of the balance of that 20% on our ag workers if whenever possible. This sector is the most impacted when you look at the case rates Two of the three top communities are agricultural based in the Lompoc and Santa Maria valleys.
