4. ROGC Booster Mandate. (Mayor)
21-893
Recommendation: Direct the City Manager to:
1. Commence discussions with city bargaining groups in anticipation
of establishing a January date for a mandate that every city worker
must complete a third round of vaccination as a condition of
employment.
a. In light of pending consideration of such a mandate, provide any
information to employees helpful to enable and encourage them to
receive their third vaccination during the holiday break, to maximize
convenience and minimize disruption to their work schedules that
might result from any temporary vaccine side effects.
2. Establish a date-preferably by late January-when all members of
the public must present evidence of a third shot of vaccine to enter
into a City-owned indoor public venue, such as the SAP Arena,
Convention Center, or Center of Performing Arts, with the following
exceptions:
a. Individuals who received their second vaccination shot within the
prior 6 months must show proof of vaccination prior to entry.
b. Children unable to receive a third shot due to the recency of FDA
approval for administration of shots to children must similarly show
evidence of vaccination within prior six months, or, in conformance
with state standards, proof of a negative test.
c. Consider the purchase of any software or equipment that will
facilitate more rapid and less labor-intensive verification of
vaccination at the entrance of City facilities, utilizing QR codes
provided by the state database, and report to Council regarding the
status of such purchases.
d. Accommodate unique circumstances relating to terms relating to
vaccination of employees in collective bargaining agreements for
Team San José, the Sharks, and other relevant stakeholders to
minimize disruptions on operations.
e. Assist with support of on-site vaccination clinics for workers who
may live in high-risk or low-income neighborhoods, leveraging
partnerships with the County and other local health providers.
