Board will not take any formal action but looking forward to peoples comments and questions. Any people on the line, moderator . You have seven questions remaining. Chair borden okay, our first speaker, please. Caller hello. My name is joel kamisher, a School Crossing guard and a member of the sfciu 10 to 1 bargaining committee. We have been trying to talk about not outsourcing people to protect the city workers and im hearing that discussion about the flaggers and the pedestrian monitors. I wonder if we could use our own workforce, the parking control people and the crossing guards instead of having the contractors hire private people. I realize that the flaggers might have their own union, so maybe thats a problem. But im hoping that we can do other things to reduce the need of contract people to prevent layoffs . Thank you. Chair borden thank you, next speaker, please. You have six questions remaining. Caller hello, members of the board, my name is Hector Jimenez and im with the loc

Because people have to get home by 10 00, that means i have to close an hour earlier. We lose revenue. Bills dont get paid because we count on that money on a friday and saturday night. Those are our busiest nights. Reporter down the street at this brewery, the owner says adapting to all the pandemic restrictions has been a roller coaster. But he thinks the temporary curfew wont change his bottom line by too much. We normally close at 10 00 anyways, and we do our last call like at 9 30. So by 10 00 we should be almost done. Reporter customers say theyll likely start coming out to eat a little earlier, but most say theyll keep coming. Not everyone agrees on the need for a curfew. We got to cut this virus. We got to take charge of it and, you know, thats one way to do it. Just close down early. To me, the virus doesnt have a time schedule, so doesnt make sense . It doesnt matter if youre out at 10 00 or 2 00. Youre going to get it, youre going to get it. Its just a reminder for everybody
