- 7. Creation of Pima County Outreach Program to amend Home Deed Covenants Discussion/Direction/Action: Proposal to create an outreach and education program on the issue of removing racist language from the home deed covenants (CCRs) of Pima County residents, primarily affecting those whose homes were built before 1948. The U.S. Supreme Court declared these racist deed covenants to be unconstitutional in 1948, and they were explicitly banned by the federal Fair Housing Act of 1968. Although unenforceable, the racist language remains in thousands of local home deeds and many of these deed holders are rightfully offended. There is a process to remove racist covenants in the Pima County Recorder's Office, but it is nuanced and not well known. We propose the creation of a Pima County Outreach Program, combined with a series of informational clinics that could enlist University of Arizona experts and local legal non-profits, to assist affected deed holders, and affected homeowner and neighborhood associations, in removing such offensive deed language. (District 5)
- 8. Pima County Health Department Update - Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) Discussion/Direction/Action: Improving our vaccination infrastructure and ensuring accessible vaccination opportunities for all students is critical to protecting the health and safety of our community. Recent data indicate that MMR vaccination rates are dropping below the critical 95% threshold in most counties across the state, including Pima County. Falling below this level compromises herd immunity and increases the risk of outbreaks of these preventable diseases. While the Tucson Unified School District hosts vaccination events at the beginning of each school year, the current efforts are not sufficient to close the gap. It is essential in Pima County that we take a more proactive and targeted approach to ensure that all the schools in Pima County with vaccination rates below 95% are supported with accessible and convenient vaccination opportunities. To address this growing public health concern, I am proposing that the County establish a program to deploy mobile vaccination units to all Pima County schools with vaccination rates below 95%. The goal is to increase accessibility and eliminate barriers to vaccination, thereby improving overall immunization rates and protecting public health. Key Components: · Mobile Vaccination Units · Targeted Outreach and Education · Data Monitoring and Reporting (District 2)
