I ask the supervisors to immediately meet with each other, discuss this issue, get it into the media, spread the word. I believe the action will be taken on behalf of these people should anyone know about this issue. Everyone ive spoken to has been surprised. Clerk thank you. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Welcome, caller. Youll have up to two minutes to share your thoughts with the board of supervisors. Thank you, supervisors. My name is fernando, and im speaking on behalf of item 24, the [inaudible] now i want to thank you for finding this state build that would reduce the market housing that we can build in this city. Its important that we preserve what we have here in San Francisco, and thank you for all youve done. Urge you to support the resolution and to send a clear message to our state delegation in sacramento to amend sb 1085 in order to preserve our Affordable Housing game. Thank you very much. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. We have 12 callers in the queue. Youll have up to two minutes to tell the board what youre thinking. Welcome. Yes, hello. This is Peter Warfield from Library Users association. Sounds like a lot of places are open or being opened, but unfortunately not the library. On march 13, friday, the 13, the library, with no notice, just simply closed all of its branchs and was basically dropped dead from the perspective of Library Users who do not have internet at home. There was a shrunken Reference Service which was down from more than 60 hours a week to 35 hours a week, monday through friday, 10 00 to 5 00. As we know, the poorest among san franciscans and at this time, particularly of note, minorities in San Francisco are the hardest hit with the least access to internet. There are, according to the mayor, a Mayoral Office report, there are over 100,000 san franciscans who do not have access to the internet more than 100,000. Now with a budget of 160 million or so, and touting all of the wonderful ways in which the library, in fact, normally does accommodate folks who cant read very well, especially for kids, with a kids well, if you cant see very well, large print or a blind library, a deaf library, materials in 40 or 50 languages, and yet folks who do not have Internet Access are completely left in the cold when it comes to access to materials they might be able to use. How about Curbside Service . How about Mailing Service . Quite a few libraries do have Curbside Service. We dont, and clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Well co welcome, caller. Youll have up to two minutes to share your thoughts. Hello . Clerk hi, welcome. We can hear you. Hi. Thank you. My name is kristina, and i work at body manipulation tattoo and piercing in the mission. Im calling in support of item 24, dr. Aragons motion to allow Body Piercing shops to open as soon as july 13. Body piercings are already trained in all of the highest standards of cleanliness. I think that at this time, its really important to allow body art facilities to continue to provide a community with a safe space that uplifts and promotes personal expression, so, yeah. Thank you, and id appreciate it if you could get back to us as soon as you can. Clerk next speaker, please. Welcome, caller. Youll have up to two minutes to tell us whats on your mind. Hello. Im mike sizemore, and i live in district 6, in soma. [inaudible] this is preventing us from going progressing forward on our transit goals in the city. This is a travesty of our bureaucracy in San Francisco, and im calling on the board to expedite this hearing as quickly as possible. Thanks. Clerk thank you for your callers. We have ten speakers in the queue. We will take the next caller, please. Welcome, caller. Youll have up to two minutes. Hi. My name is john, and im the owneroperator of azucar lounge in soma, district 6. Im calling to voice my support for item 26, calling to reopen businesses in a safe and responsible manner. Without this, many food and beverage establishments are not fully able to utilize the citys new shared Spaces Program as the alcoholic Beverage Control will not issue any permits. I strongly urge you to support business opening in this next phase. Thank you so much. Clerk thank you. Next speaker, please. Youll have up to two minutes. Welcome, caller. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is chabisani, and im the director of Public Policy on behalf of the San Francisco restaurant association. I urge you to support the local variance in San Francisco. As someone had mentioned before me, without this, restaurants who arent able to subm [inaudible] vital sales or worse, risk losing their liquor licenses at a time when our industry is fighting to survive. Thank you for all your work to support local restaurants, and we appreciate your consideration to support this variance. Clerk thank you. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Welcome, caller. Youll have up to two minutes to share your thoughts with the board of supervisors. Hello. My name is dave, and im the owner of mx3 fitness with locations in district 3 and district 5. Im also a board member of the castro merchants, and im a member of the San Francisco independent Fitness Coalition which represents more than 40 Small Businesses, 600 employees, serving more than 20,000 San Francisco customers. Im calling in support of item 28 and dr. Aragon. In addition, im asking to allow small Fitness Studios to be allowed to reopen with salons on july 13, if not sooner. Were able to provide the same, if not greater, covid safety protocols, as salon. This coalition has developed a detailed reopening protocols, often exceeding caloshas recommendations and we provided those to dr. Aragon. Were not big box gyms like equinox or crunch. Without swift action, the city runs the risk of losing this once fluorishing sector of the economy. Salons seem to have gotten preferential treatment on reopening because they have a larg Larger Client base. As any doctor will tell you, exercise is a key contributor to both physical and mental health, much more than getting your haircut. I appreciate you supporting all independent Fitness Studios and providing an even Playing Field for all businesses in San Francisco which provide oneonone, low and no touch personal services. Clerk thank you. Thank you, caller, for your comments. Before the next speaker, i will say there are 53 listeners and nine individuals in the queue. Sometimes the queue can move very quickly, so if any of the listeners listening would like to get into the queue, please press starthree soon because at the end of the line, i would hate for you to, at the last second, try to get into the queue and we close public comment. Well just keep going with whos in the queue now. Operations, please send through the next caller. Welcome, caller. Youll have up to two minutes. Welcome, caller. Hello . Clerk hi, welcome. Hello, we can hear you. Welcome, caller. Yes, we can hear you. Hello . Clerk hi. Welcome, we can hear you. Maybe thats a bad reception. Hello, caller. Are you still there . Welcome, caller. Hi, im sorry. Can you hear me now . Clerk yes, we can. Thank you. Thanks for trying. Thank you so much. Im calling because im really concerned about how the city is going to manage the rest of us, our feelings about the Police Department. I dont have any complaints about our Current Police department and our staff members, but i do have a concern about how the citys going about looking at what we call Police Reform, like maybe moving some of the funding from the Police Department to another area. I kind of think you need to do it differently, you really need to think differently. I was, in 1995, kind of helping to protest police brutality, and then in im sorry, 2015, this whole mario woods reignited all these protests, and now george floyd. After covid19, the first big thing that hits us after that is this george floyd experience. So my thinking is obviously, clearly, people, leaders are not thinking that drastic change needs to happen. So just to give you an example of drastic change, in large corporations, which someone mentioned today, making lots of up money, can afford to pay taxes, what they will do is they fire everybody, and theyll ask them to reapply for their jobs so they can revet them. I can no longer tolerate the Police Violence around citizens. I no longer feel comfortable around them. My thinks is that the city really needs to think about how are we going to do our policing . Really look at Community Policing and really look at different ideas and contact the large corporations who are so successful and find out what it is that they do to make sure that folks that work for them, like the Police Department works for us, follows the guidelines and the rules, so thats all i have to say. Clerk thank you. Thank you for your comments, and thanks for sticking with it. Well stick with it as long as youll stick with it. Okay. So i had 20 callers in the t queue. Operations, please send the next caller through. Welcome, caller. Youll have up to two minutes. My name is reilly brown, and i work at market tattoo in district 2. Were all fighting to make ends meet and support our families, and i would like to see tattoo shops opened as soon as june 19. Tattoo shops can provide an even higher than needed state of cleanliness and safe working. Thank you for your consideration, and thank you for allowing me to participate. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Welcome the caller. Youll have up to two minutes to provide your comments to the board of supervisors. Hi. My name is peter papadopoulos, and im calling on behalf of the Mission Economic development agency, and we are in support of item 24, the resolution opposing sb 1085 unless amended. Wed like to thank supervisor peskin for bringing this these forward, and we thank supervisor ronen and the other cosponsors for their support of this item. Our concern principleally, is written, this bill is another example of top down Sacramento State legislation that misses the point of its impact in cities like San Francisco. While some core elements in this bill may sound good in theory, as applied in San Francisco, it company devastating to communities in San Francisco that desperately need more Affordable Housing. Not enough Affordable Housing means more people crowding in together in order to be able to pay rent. This is now manifesting in part in lowincome latinos suffering the highest rates of covid19 infection and hospitalization rates in San Francisco, and members have testified in congress that these effects are due to longstanding housing inequities. So we thank you for the authorship of the bill, the sponsorship of the bill, and wed urge all the supervisors to vote in support today. Clerk thank you for your comments. Youll have two minutes. Welcome, caller. Hello. Im theodore randolph. I im [inaudible] clerk welcome, caller. You have up to two minutes to provide your comments to the board of supervisors. Hello, supervisors. My name is galen leach. Im a tattoo artist in San Francisco calling in support of item 28. I would like to say were trained in packaging exposure controls and trained to break the chain of infection. Please remember that the tattoo artists have been refraining from handshaking long before anyone ever heard of covid19. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Thats all. Clerk thank you. Please keep watching and listening to our board meetings. Next speaker, youll have up to two minutes. Kim tavaloni. Im calling regarding item 28. I know theres a huge push to open up as fast as possible but theres a little concern that theres not been any input from Frontline Workers on this issue and how they feel about it, and are they prepared for another go around. We know that the rates of infection are going to go up as we open up. They deserve at least some guarantees of whats been in place. I have a lot of concerns about dr. Aragon and some of the decisions that he has made or not made, for that matter, and i know that many of you share those concerns, too, and i think that deserves some process here. It is very, very evident that the chamber of commerce was told about this ahead of time, yet most progressives had no idea what the issue was, and it wasnt flagged for them. I know a lot of people that wanted to comment on this. I know the department of Public Health does not have a record on homelessness. What happens as the businesses open . Do people get shoved aside just like they were beforehand . No solutions. This Department Needs a lot of help and deserves Frontline Worker input before we pass this. I think the least you can do today is give us a one week delay on making this decision on number 28. I want bars and Everything Else to open up as much as the rest of you. Trust me, ill be the first in line at a number of bars, but at the same time, im just asking that you allow some of the Frontline Workers to have input on this. That department, d. P. H. , has been very clerk thank you for your comments. All right. We have about 15 callers in the queue. Lets go to the next caller. Welcome. You have up to two minutes to provide your comments to the board of supervisors. So supervisors, i want to talk about two topics. The first one you havent mentioned in all of your deliberations, which is very important, is called qualified immunity. If you understand what is qualified immunity, then you can put a stop to what is going on on the streets. Now, we cannot have the mayor and just one other person just arbitrarily take money from the Police Department. I havent heard kwone of you tk about the lgbtq issue where the Supreme Court has finally got some light and is shedding some light and is realizing that as human beings, everybody has to be treated equally. Im suggesting that the lgbtq Lgbtq Community work really hard, and the one or two that i know whose heart right side in the right place, reserve 100 million so that that segment of the population thats suffering and has been suffering for all these decades get some help. Theyre very educated. Everybody knows that. Theyve suffered too much. Everybody knows that, and its time for San Francisco to pull its best foot forward. Thank you very much. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. We have 14 callers in the queue. Welcome, caller. Youll have up to two minutes to make your statement. Hello. Can you hear me . Clerk yes, we can. Welcome. Im gauge armstrong. Im the gage armstrong. Im a transtattoo artist. Ive been working in this Community Since 1996. All of my compatriots and my peers have spoken more than eloquently about the fact that we are more than able to deal with the covid19. If i have to wait till august, im going to be over 60k it would be a shame to see that go away. In this time, i couldnt imagine packing up and leaving. I hope you guys can help us get back to work as soon as possible. I thank you for letting us come and appeal to you. Thank you. Clerk thank you very much. Welcome, next caller. Youll have up to two minutes to share your comments with the board of supervisors. Good afternoon, board of supervisors. My name is maria with united to save the mission, and im calling in regards to number 24, opposition to sb 1085. It seems that every time our city moves forward in equity especially for our lowincome communities of color somebody in the state listens to special interests and seeks to undermine our planning and our local planning and Affordable Housing tools, and this bill will devastate our lowincome communities of color, so i just think its imperative that we oppose this bill, and i thank you for bringing forward this resolution. Clerk thank you for your comments. There are about ten callers in the queue. Well take the next caller. You have up to two minutes. Welcome, caller. I work at sun tattoo in San Francisco, and im just adding my support for item 28. I would like tattoo businesses to reopen as soon as june 19, especially since all the other shops are open in california outside the bay area. Everybody touched on sterilization and a clean environment. Because of that, i everyone and i work with understand how to prevent cross contamination and provide a safe experience for everyone involved, certainly safer than businesses that are already open. Thanks krerk clerk great. Thank you f clerk great. Thank you for your comment. Next caller. Im calling on item 24, and i strongly support the resolution to support senator Nancy Skinners state bill. Im asking to join supervisors peskin, row anyonen, and fewer refuse the bill unless properly amen
