Hello San José City Council,
I request you accept the COVID-19 Recovery Task Force Report and its recommendations to advance the COVID-19 Report.
Additionally, the COVID-19 Task Force Recommendations should have 1) clearly defined goals 2) measurable objectives with a 3) definitive timeline charting progress.
The $2.0 million designated to implement the Task Force Recommendations represents only $2 dollars per San José resident. This meager amount does not adequately reflect the time, energy and work of the 55 (fifty-five) committees on the COVID-19 Recovery Task Force, nor does it serve to properly implement the recommendations and serve San José residents and taxpayers overtime.
I recommend the City designate $100.0 million dollars over seven (7) years. This amount will better serve the City's residents in the implementation of the Task Force Recommendations. The $100.0 million will also address some systemic inequity issues of race, gender, disability and economics that exist in San José. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Derek
