My name is volume con and im regional manager for a hotel. I managed hotels in this great city. Im calling for opposition of Emergency Health and business ordinance. Because the health and safety of employees and guests and our lenders and visitors in our industry all are the number one priority. Thats why they chose our hotels. Thats why they keep coming back. Our hotels, as you heard, all other hotelier have have strict cleaning protocols by california, american, hotel association, state guidelines, and multiple guidelines with a job to try to make sure that the safety is priorities not just the work. This ordinance also exempt city, state and federal Office Buildings and arguing a specific industry doesnt sound fair. [please stand by] agenda. Show us the signs. If you do care, would you all industries in the city. If you care about local business and the economy, at all, you will start looking at how clean the streets instead of playing politics. Because that will decide the future of the success of the city of San Francisco. And i appreciate your time. Next speaker. Caller good afternoon, this is paul the regional Vice President for fairmont and the core hotel this is northern california. Everyone on this phone call knows that this ordinance socalled ordinance is really about to my local 2, loyal and loving colleagues, we have always been about you, we have always been about the colleague first, and you know that in your heart. We miss you, we want you back to work but most importantly we want you back to work as safely so you can provide for your family and your friends as you always have done. You know that this industry loves you and always wants you back and i am so, so sorry that you are being put in the middle of this political football. To the supervisors, one word, shame. You have a fulltime job to do, which is keeping the taxpaying residents of the city of San Francisco safe from cleanliness, crime, the disgrace that you have allowed to happen to this beautiful part of the planet by the level of homelessness and poverty in this city is one word, shamefulness. Thank you to my members of local 2, and all Hotel Workers, we look forward to get you being back to work as soon as as possible. Thank you, very much. Next speaker. Caller hello, supervisors, my name is tony and im the general manager of the kimton. In a multigenerational revenue in San Francisco. I dont necessarily think theres any reason to rehash all the pointed reasons my colleague made as to why this is bad legislation. One thing i would like to bring up, supervisor peskin, and your opening remarks, you said that you consulted with many Different Industries that this legislation is clearly unlaterally with only the union writing in mind mind. There was multiple letters saying that they were for this legislation but if you go to sf. Gov and see what letters were written, all i raid is opposition letters. I think Something Else very important to me is others have mentioned that city and government buildings are exempt. It really is up to me you would think that your employees are less important than ours. And lastly and the restaurants, theres no particular legislation for restaurants yet youve shoved it into this ordinance for a hotel relates please reconsider this and give us back to work because to make sure its longer. Next speaker and the 1850 letters that i referenced will be a part of this file, they were delivered to each member of this Committee Earlier today. Next speaker, please. Caller hello. Thank you for giving us this afternoon to speak. My name is michael bear and im the general manager of the Stanford Court hotel and the Huntington Hotel both located on knob hill. Supervisor peskin in your district. And ive also worked at other hotels in supervisor haneys district. And i had prepared remarks but im not going to read them because frankly everything has been said. I just like you to know a couple things burin does tree that you may not know. Were a very tightknit community. Most of the general managers here have worked in the city for decades or at least a decade if not longer. And you know, our workers are like family to us and so we would, you know, frankly never do anything to put them in harms way. We worked exhaustively with the hotel council, the brands and with Smaller Hotels to develop standards that meet every guideline imaginable and as was said prior, my focus through this pandemic has been centered around when we can bring our workers back to work as quickly as possible and safely as possible. And frankly this legislation will do nothing but delay that and all ive heard from the local two call inns was how people want to come back to work, granted safely, but thats already been covered to my knowledge and local 2 or the board of supervisors have not come to us to ask us what we have done about it and read our plans and what we have done to ensure safe working environment thank you very much for your time. Thank you, next speaker. Mr. Chair, ma completes the cue. Public comment is closed. And then if there are no let me just look here. Supervisor preston, that was you from earlier, right, in the queue . Correct. Colleagues, i have a number of amendments to offer. All of which are before you. That let me walk through those. This was done in collaboration with the dem of publichealth evepublichealth,even though sos located in the district that i represent would have you think otherwise. If you look at the legislative digest, this is a very straight forward piece of law. It mirrors something that we did for singleresident occupancy hotels and will be done for other industries as we move towards reopening and i would quote from that legislative digest the proposed ordinance will require Tourist Hotels and large commercial buildings to establish intimate and implement and maintain specific, written, regular cleaning, disinfecting and disease prevention standards consistent with those established by the California Department of publichealth and industrial relations issued covid19 industry guidance for lodging. In other words, it wont be guidance it will be a law that will be enforced by the department of publichealth and the sky is not falling. It will make hotels safer and generate confidence from tourists when the industry reopens but i understand that its the brands and so be it. With that, there are a number of amendments. Some of which the industry might even like. On page 5, line 23, you will see disinfectant as section 4 of the legislation insert the word cleaning and insert the word established so the sentence reads the cleaning standards established understand section 4 shall provide for disinfection of poris and non poris Services Using appropriate disinfectants and then we actually create more latitude, which the individual talked about environmentally sensitive disinfect apartments l appreciate the sentence that says bleach and Alcohol Solutions must meet standards approved by the department for effective use and next two sentences i proposed for lex i is same words under section 4 the word cleaning and established and in subsection d at line 16, the following high contact areas items and fixtures shall are cleaned and disinfected and we heard you about the 30 minutes to multiple times daily and the department of publichealth will by Regulation Establish that and on page 6 at line 20, we inserted the word employees so that the title of that subsection is public and employee areas and at the bottom of that page, theres a deleted sentence, use of shared beverage and food equipment microwaves and refrigerations shall be discontinued and that section is moved to another part of the legislation which ill get to further down. On the next page, page 7, at line 19 in subsection 6, that language is reinserted and references and doors that cannot be automatically or propped open and the operator shall assign a gloved employee to open them. On page 8 at line 10 the insertion of a new sentence that mirrors the sro hotel legislation that says all operators shall maintain a log of cleaning and sanitation in compliance with section 4 of this ordinance and shall make it available to the Department Upon request that of course is the department of publichealth and on page 9, subsection 5 is deleted. The rest of the subsections are renumbered at line 16. If there is insert a reasonable basis to believe that a specific guest room was occupied by an individual infected with a publichealth threat, insert operator must remove the guest room from use until the Department Confirms that it is safe for reuse. If the Department Confirms the room was exposed to a positive case of contagious public threat, publichealth threat, the guest must undergo sanitation. The guest room must undergo more stringent sanitation. On the next page, page 10, insertion of a paragraph. Thank you to the department of publichealth and our chief Health Officer for suggesting this. If the Department Recommends that employees undergo testing for a con stage us publichealth threat, operators shall ensure that such employees may receive testing as recommended by the department. Such testing will be at no cost to the employee and occur on pay time including time to travel to and from testing sites. And then, on page 11, at line 9, insert in the event that such guidance recommends providing employees with a notice related to any con stage us publichealth threat, for example, a general exposure advisory or recommendation of quarantine each operator shall ensure that all applicable employees and the bargaining representatives, if any, receives such notice as expeditiously as possible. On the bottom of page 12, insert a new subsection a under section 7. Which says violations of the standards set fourth in section 4 shall be a nuisance under Health Code Section 581 and row number the balance of those subsections. Finally, based on testimony that we heard today, at page 8, line 25, i would like to also move that the sentence with regards to singleuse public bags be removed so that sentence all dirty linen shall be removed and replaced in singleuse bags within the guest room before being transported. Delete that sentence. So, those are the where is that . Bottom of page 8, line 25. Top of page 9, line 1. It is the last sentence there supervisor safai that saturdays with alstartswith all dirty lin. My numbering is off. So delete that whole line . That whole sentence. All dirty linen shall be removed before being transported . Ok. That is the tote tal tee of my amendment and i look forward working with you colleagues as we move forward with similar pieces of legislation for other industries as they reopen. With that, madam clerk one point of clarification, and i think this is a friendly amendment to the amendment you put fourth. Just on page 7, it talks about use of shared beverages and food equipment, for example, coffee machines, microwave ovens and refrigerators in public areas and employee break rooms, we did also speak with one of the representatives from the industry representing the workforce, folks were concerned about lactating mothers and where lactating mothers would be able to put breast milk. So, i dont know how we would word that but i feel like there should be something there. For every other reason, should be discontinued but i dont know where lactating mothers would put their breast milk . Supervisor safai, i would suggest that in that case, the except for lactation purposes. We could certai
