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 amended. The Public Participation in the planning process would be removed with Affordable Housing mon dated. Please vote in an expanded housing density law. Lets not let sacramento determine housing in San Francisco. Thank you very much. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Hello . Is that me . Clerk yes, welcome. My name is chad, and im a tattoo artist. I own a house and have a family. Ive been a tattoo artist for 20 years. We are struggling, and it makes it hard to struggle for three months and support our families. Opening our shops help out more than just our businesses, it helps our families lives that are struggling. So please dont just consider Tattoo Parlors, think about other people who are suffering, as well. Clerk if you are interested in getting in the queue, best to get in sooner rather than later. If you havent already, press starthree on your phone to get into the queue. All right, operations, please send the next caller through. Welcome. Youll have up to two minutes. Hello. My name is jeff gleason. I am a professional tattoo artist in the city of San Francisco, and i am calling on behalf of my Tattoo Community to support item 28, dr. Aragon, and opening tattoo shops by june 19. As you know, we uphold ourselves in the highest standards of sanitation and cleanliness, and i am confident that any new guidelines set forth for our industry reopening would see a seamless transition on our end. My last day of work was march 13. My unemployment ends in july. I am a father of two. I have a mortgage. My savings are dwindling by the day. My Mortgage Lender does not have a reasonable forebearance option for me, and i need to get back to work as soon as possible. I feel like im in jeopardy of losing my home, and my family is scared. One shop i know in San Francisco has closed its doors for good, and will not be reopening, and it has been a sad and huge loss for our community. I would like to reity rate what giovanni mentioned about San Francisco being a Global Destination point for tattoo collectors all over the world. People specifically travel here to get tattoos have artists here. If we cannot get those people here, people will leave one by one, and our place in tattooing will be diminished. I am confident in my ability in tattooing and my colleagues ability, and i trust my clients to adhere to any guidance we set in front of them. I appreciate your letting me speak, and i appreciate gyour consideration getting us back to work as soon as possible. Thank you. Next speaker, please. You have two minutes. Hi. My name is guillermo. I am calling in support of item 28. I work at moms tattoo and piercing shop located on the haight. I would like for our shop and our neighbors shop to reopen on june 19. We practice clean and Sterile Services regularly. We are ready to make adjustments to serve our clients and the community during this pandemic. This is all we can do at this point. I oppose bill 24, hurting the communities of color and lowincome families, and it only benefits big business. Please do the right thing, let us open. Thank you. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. And welcome, next speaker. Youll have up to two minutes. Hello. Thanks for taking my call. My name is hallie, and i own idle hands tattoo. My shop has been open since 2004. Im calling in support of item 28 and dr. Aragon supporting opening the next round of businesses as soon as june 19. Our clients are requesting appointments, and while we have to turn them away, it is very easy for them to drive over the bridge and get tattooed by somebody else. I am also aware that med spas were allowed to open in San Francisco yesterday, and similar to tattoos, med spas perform all types of nonessential and beautifying services which technicians and clients are in close proximity for extended period of times, and yet, with the exception of med spas, this community does not have the training that the Tattoo Community really has. It really seems that tattooing has been overlooked when deciding who may and may not open. The only updates needed to add to our time tests methods and protocols would be to wear face masks and lower the number of people inhabiting our space, which were already willing to follow in our updated guidelines. Thank you. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. We have ten callers in the queue. Hello. Is this me . Clerk hello. You have ten minutes. Welcome. Hi. Thank you so much for having me on on this. Im calling in support of item 28 and dr. Aragon. My name is nathan, and im a San Francisco firefighter. In response to an earlier caller, as a frontline worker, i would say that i i support tattoo shops opening and probably most of my coworkers do. The according to the San Francisco p. I. O. , the Fire Departments, and our chief, zero members of the San FranciscoFire Department have tested positive for covid, so it shows by taking the proper precautions, masks, gloves, what have you, we can prevent the spread of this virus, so i dont see any reason for the tattoo shopping not being allowed to reopen. I think with the sterilization and all of that, theyre at the front of this situation daily. And im with the San FranciscoFire Department, and not a Single Member has tested positive. We support item 28 and dr. Aragon. Thank you for your time. Clerk thank you for finding us and for providing us your comments. Next speaker, please. Yes. My name is jonathan rider, and im also a firefighter with sfrichk Fire Department. Im also calling you in support of item 28 and dr. Aragons opening of tattoo shops soon or sooner than june 19. As a frontline Emergency Service provider, i understand whats necessary to prevent the spread of covid19, and im convinced that s. F. Tattoo industry is prepared to safely operate. They already have the great understanding and training and the health and safety. I think theres far less risk of covid19 spreading in their industry than anywhere else. Youre taking a bigger risk going to a Grocery Store or gas station than you are to a Tattoo Parlor just simply because of their training and their experience. Ive got two little girls at home, and im a fireman, as i said, and im in contact with covid19 patients, and i wouldnt take a chance with their lives. I just think the tattoo industry is far more prepared than the other industries, in fact, and in reopening and preventing covid19. Id like to ask your help to save our local economy and maintain our local san franciscans by opening our Tattoo Parlors, and thank you for your time. Clerk thank you for your work that you and your fellow caller do to protect our residents. Thank you for your comments. Well come, caller. You have up to two minutes to provide the board of supervisors your Public Comments. Hello. Clerk welcome. I just want to throw my support behind item number 28, dr. Aragons proposal to open up tattoo shops. My name is derek, and ive been tattooing for over 14 years. Prior to that, i had a career in frontline workers, ai was a e. M. S. , and before that, home care. These protocols are something that weve been prepared in since the day you start as a tattooer. Something that hasnt been touched upon is how much our tattoo shops support the local economy in our own neighborhood and our own businesses. Our clients get food next door, they get coffee. They are patrons of the block not only to our own financial benefit but to everyone in our community, so i think in pushing this forward, youre not only supporting the tattoo artists who everyone has touched base with, makes the city richer, more diverse, but youre also helping those neighborhoods that have been affected by this covid on very severe financial terms, so i hope that you consider not only tattooers but the community at large for bringing some type of financial benefits to all of us. Thank you for your time. Clerk thank you for your comments. We have seven callers in the queue. Next caller, please. You have two minutes to provide your comments to the board of supervisors. Welcome. This is rick hall, member of united to save the mission. Im speaking in support of item 24, the resolution to oppose sb 1085. Youve heard from peter and others about the saying that this bill in particular with regard to San Francisco, but id also like to ask you to take some resolutions or Rapid Actions to oppose many other bills. 1085 and many other land use bills are being rushed through our state Assembly Members and senators and being heard in only one policy Committee Per house due to the pandemic. The public and you guys are busy and distracted, responding to the pandemic and recovery, answering the call for social justice and Police Reform and its associated social unrest. You guys and the people of california arent able to keep up with these bills right now. Many of them will lead to speculation, gentrification, further Racial Discrimination in housing and will provide little if any additional Affordable Housing. The bills im talking about include sb 1120, sb 902, ab 979, ab 3107, sb 995, ab 2345, ab 3040, and ab 3234. The theme of this years bill seems to all these bills seems to be taking away input by local electeds, including our Planning Commission and board of supervisors and we, the citizens. Circumvent clerk thank you. Thank you for your comment. Next speaker, please. Hi. My name is scott. Im in section 9. I own and operate a tattoo par lar lore in San Francisco. I dont see parlor in San Francisco. Its obvious we run a sterile, clean, professional industry. Were regulated by the board of health, not to mention osha and the state and all that blah, blah, blah. So as a community of tattooers and tattoo shops, we love and respect our community, and i expect our city and our City Council Members to love and respect us in the same passion and show us the due respect that we have to be able to provide us with being able to make our own living, making our own choices, and yeah, thats it. Thank you very much. Clerk thank you, caller. Next speaker, please. Well come, caller welcome, caller. Youll have up to two minutes to provide your comments to the board of supervisors. Hello. Clerk hi, welcome. We can hear you. Hi. So i just wanted to call in. My name is steve rodriguez. I work in the city as a fireman, and i just wanted to voice my support for item 28 and dr. Aragon. I get tattooed in San Francisco and just would really like to see them reopen as theyre well prepared and well versed in sterilization more than most other businesses that would set to be reopen on june 19. So id like to see them open june 19, and thank you for your time. Clerk thank you for your comments. Thank you for keeping our community safe. There are four callers in the queue. There are also a number of you listening. If youre interested in joining the queue, which goes really quickly at the end. Please press starthree. Welcome, caller. You have up to two minutes. Is this me . Clerk this is you. Welcome. Thanks. To whom it may concern, im calling in support of item 28 and dr. Aragon. I am a restaurant worker who is out of work for medical reasons right now. I have been getting tattooed in San Francisco since 2011. I got my first tattoo here. The tattoo industry is what taught me to be comfortable in my own skin, and having them out of work and having their families not supported right now is hurting for a lot of us, too, in other industries, and opening them on june 19 would be a a very good move, i think, because the support that ive found in this community through tattooing has definitely been, like, a friendship among some of them and a lot of them, and thats all. Thanks. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Welcome, caller. Hello . Clerk yes, hello, we can hear you. Its me . Clerk yes. Thank you. My name is joanne, and im a housekeeper. Ive lived in San Francisco for 13 years. Im a proud member of united local 2. I want to talk item 23. In my family of four, we have been affected the worst because of covid19. My husbands job is also connected to the hotels, so it is very important for us that all hotels reopen safe and strong. The hotels are saying they should. Im worried that the guests wont come back unless they charge our hotel as safe and clean. There is no business, we have no work. We should not make sure that our hotel we should make sure that our hotels, our spaces, are for everyone, and we should make sure that our hotels in San Francisco are cleanest in the world. Thank you. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker. We have five speakers in the queue. You have up to two minutes. Hello . Clerk hello. Welcome. All right. My name is jeff, and i tattoo in San Francisco like so many other callers. I am calling in regards to item 28, and im not going to repeat everything that everybodys said over and over, but one thing id like to repeat that hasnt been said that much is most tattoo shops see a limited number of people per day, and we are able to limit it even more if need be, and there are far less people involved in the daytoday operations of a tattoo shop or Grocery Store or, say, many hair salons, and id just like to add my comment to the group. Thank you very much. Clerk great. Thanks for finding us. Thank you for your comments. Next caller. We have six callers in the queue. Thank you. Hello, members of the board of supervisors. My name is gail gilman, a 20 year resident of district 3. Im calling to support item 28 and dr. Aragon, but as a resident of the city, i ask that the board of supervisors insist on clarity of regulation. There has been confusion over whether the state guidelines supersede San Franciscos guidelines, and theres confusion for many small restaurant and bar owners on how to open their businesses to be successful. Everyone wants their workers safe through the state, and while i fully support San Francisco submitting their assertation certificate to the state, i ask that there are guidelines and support in helping those small family owned businesses reopen in San Francisco. Many of them have small foot prints, and they need guidance in reopening under covid19. Thank you very much for your hard work. I really appreciate your leadership in the time of this pandemic. Thank you. Clerk thank you for your comments. I hope i had the microphone on when i said thank you, commissioner gilman. Thank you for your comments. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Welcome, caller. Yeah, hello . Clerk its your turn. Its your turn. My name is ben mcqueen hi. My name is ben mcqueen, and im calling in support of item number 28 and dr. Aragon, shops oepgs pening on june 19. I tattoo, and i dont need to go into what everyone else has told you about our high standards of cleanliness and standards. We are anxious to get back to open per state guidelines, limit the number of people in the shop, mask, temperatures at the door, all that good stuff, so yeah, i just want to put my name in for calling in support of item 28. Thank you guys so much. Clerk great. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Welcome, caller. You have up to two minutes. Hello. My names henry crinkle. My friends call me hank. Im calling to support getting tattoo shops open in a couple of weeks. Im a homeowner in the city. I work for the city, and i come into close contact with covid19 patients with appropriate p. P. E. And social distancing. I tested negative a couple of weeks ago. To put that in perspective, i think a business like a Tattoo Parlor with appropriate safeguards should be allowed to reopen. You might consider opening Tattoo Parlors to keep the tourist industry going in north beach. It could be part of the key to getting our economy going tattoo shops, tourist industry. Im a member of a small gym on balboa and la playa, derek. I think it would be hea heartbreaking to see him go out of business. I urge you to open businesses like his soon. I just got a haircut in the last week just down the street from where Governor Newsom works in sacramento, and it made me think of all the protocols they take to ensure our safety. Thank
