 Before I get into a lot of this I do want to recognize that we are thankful and proud of the work that the team here at the city is doing them I mean you can go over to that EOC and you could watch Brandon at work You could watch both chiefs at work Elmer and all the please extend our thanks and Tell everybody we're proud of the work that's going on it. It feels like a year But it's only been you know six day weeks right and It really is like a marathon. So when you think about it, it it's and as we talk about it, which I'll jump into now We're looking at how it is that we Get work back to normal whatever that will mean at the time we get to go back to work at Enormal and when you think about it as I talked most of today We're gonna talk about libraries rec centers neighborhood centers and municipal courts But most of the city has been in operation this entire time Right, so the people that work in the water department the people that work in TPW the people that work in code The people that work in all the fire and police We've been providing services for our citizens this entire time We're gonna change the focus a little bit and talk about some of our facilities But again, I just want to remind everybody that we've been at work You know during this entire pandemic when we talk about reopening city buildings and the focus really of what I'll mention today We're talking about libraries community centers they closed right back on March 14th municipal courts closed on March 24th and We've still been using some of those facilities for food distribution So they're still being used in some ways also during the pandemic a couple weeks ago. We asked Mania Where's Mania there you go and Brian Dickerson to put a team together To plan how we would reopen these facilities and go back to work and whatever that meant And so I want to thank Mania and Brian for putting that team together They're still at work and they're the ones that Prepared the plan that's in front of you But the other thing I want to say as we go through this. I promise you it will change Right, just like the other stuff. We've learned Right along the way Texas will reopen for phase two beginning on May 18th and that will change how we Think about this plan We'll look at what other cities are doing across Texas this week next week the week after that and it will change our plan as well The basis for the work of the team is the stuff that's been talked about And I've got copies of all these things Here's the opening up America again plan, which was put out by the White House This is the governor's Texas helping Texas plan right that talks about Texas in the phases and then again, we've got the one that we put together Y'all get ready and so all those were the basis of what the team used to guide how we're gonna look at it And the other piece is the guidance from the Texas Office of Court Administration Because they're the ones that are giving guidance and direction for the opening of courts in Texas Whether it's a state court a county court or a municipal court the principles that we're using as we Talk about opening these facilities the first one is then that's why we put Chief Davis up front We're gonna use public health data and we're gonna watch it daily and that should guide How we think about opening or whether we should or should not opening and so when we think about the public health data We're looking at 14 day trends of cases and 14 day trends of hospitalizations more on that We also want to make sure that when we open again libraries or rec centers or neighborhood centers the municipal court That our employees and the public Will be safe Just flat out period right we're not gonna open facilities if our employees or the public cannot be safe and then finally we are looking at How we modify some of our facilities, it's not unlike what you see when you go now into Pharmacies or grocery stores or other facilities that are now being open to the public We need to think about how we look at our facilities in the same way whether it's a library rec center neighborhood center The phase reopening plan and we're gonna keep doing some of the things that we've had in place Teleworking where I think we've experienced and are learning that it works in a lot of different areas We still have services that we're providing I've talked about that I'll make this announcement here. Manya is looking at opening up live not opening up. Let me rephrase that curbside service for libraries on May 18th, and we'll start communicating that this week and she'll do it at five locations I think those are the regional libraries that I get that right. All right We're gonna still require social distancing. We're gonna ask at-risk employees to stay home All those things the phase one we're shooting for June 1st Again, that's based on that we get we achieve those public health data trends The guidance has already been sent out from the administrative office of courts that there will be no in-person proceedings Until at least June 1st So they put our guidance on that already and again Be redundant talk about we're asking at-risk employees to stay home and we'll open at some capacity These phasings are mostly taken I want to say from the White House plan when which they go into three phases and the idea is you open up the first phase You see how things happen you evaluate the trends again, then you go to phase two you do the same thing You open up a little bit more you evaluate the trends and then you go to the last phase or phase three So this would be phase two the target date and both these dates are Mondays So it's the start of a work week whether it's June 1st or June 29th. It assumes that we'll start the beginning of that week with these new parameters and Again, this presumes on June 29th We have continued success with public health trend data, and then we look at opening up city services on a broader scale and then the theory on that again we open we evaluate trend data for a period of time and so this would Suggest normal operations, whatever that might look like again at the end of July I won't read all these to you simply safety measures that the committee has identified They're the same Safety measures you'll you'll read in any of those three plans whether it's the White House the governors or our local plan And again the focus is on public safety and keeping employees and keeping the public safe what I Said at the beginning I can promise that this will change so just like finances and the economics of it We plan to give you an update at each of the council meetings as we move forward because we'll also be learning new things from What's happening around the state each neighborhood centers has a plan for how they're going to open those facilities libraries the same way and Recreation centers as well and municipal court don't want to leave them out
