TODAY’S PURPOSE

•MAY 20TH Phase 1A (Retail, Personal Services-Salons, Museums): 761 individual
businesses (602 Retail + 18 Museums + 141 Hair/ Nail Salons/ Barber Shops)
Very few of these businesses have any idea what the rules and guidelines are with which they are
now required to comply. They literally are getting 3 business days’ notice to re-open. We strongly
believe an education effort is needed to help these businesses start out on the right foot. We plan on
visiting each establishment, dropping off collateral material, answering questions and offering to
return for inspections before they open so they can be sure they are ready.
•MAY 27TH Phase 1B (Restaurants and Sidewalk Cafes): 855 individual businesses
(158 Restaurants with sidewalk cafes + 697 Restaurants there is no list that
captures restaurants with private outdoor seating)
In addition to the challenges highlighted above, restaurants are more complicated by the nature of
their business. Many additional requirements that involve lead times, such as disposable menus,
upgrade to HVAC, Plexiglas barriers at counters, reservation systems, training of staff, etc. Testing of
employees will probably be more important for restaurants. Furthermore, the outdoor seating issues
will require additional time to get approvals for street closures, parking spaces, review applications,
confirm site plans comply with social distancing, etc.

THE MB STANDARD Gold Standard
The purpose of this program concept is to help consumers
make smart choices about which businesses are taking
necessary safety measures.
All participating businesses would be given a logo to display
and the information would be put into a public database,
where anyone could access and view the current status of the
business.
The idea is for businesses to agree to meet the safety criteria
prior to reopening.Once the affidavit is received,the business
will be given a certification that represents they are agreeing to
health and safety standards.
