B
B
So
we
have
a
special
presentation
today
and
Vanessa
Torres,
who
was
here,
will
lead
us
in
that,
but
and
Joseph
and
Ashley
Brown,
who
are
students
at
the
Windsor
school,
received
the
second
place
award
from
c-span's
national
documentary
competition
called
student
cam,
and
we
heard
about
this
in
my
office
from
our
former
awesome
colleague,
councilor
Pressley
and
now
congressman
Congress
will
impress
Lee
who
sent
this
information
to
us.
And
of
course
we
wanted
to
acknowledge
them.
D
Well,
first
of
all,
thank
you
all
so
much
for
having
us
today,
we're
so
excited
to
be
here
to
celebrate
and
and
Ashley
on
this
incredible
accomplishment.
So
a
little
bit
about
shooting
cam,
I'm,
shooting
cams,
a
nationwide
documentary
contest
that
c-span
holds
every
year
this
year.
It's
actually
15
years
of
student
cam
and
we
actually
hit
our
one
millionth
dollar
and
giving
out
to
students
nationwide.
So
we're
really
excited
to
honor.
These
students,
Ashley
and
Ann
actually
attend
the
Windsor
school
here
in
Boston,
Massachusetts
and
yeah,
so
we
are
so
excited
for
them.
D
We
only
give
out
a
short
amount
of
second
prize
winners
nationwide,
and
this
year
we
really
saw
how
much
students
really
put
into
this
documentary
contest.
We
receives
close
to
six
thousand
participants,
nationwide
and
clover
and
close
to
3,000
entries
nationwide.
So
out
of
all
those
students,
we
only
pick
a
hundred
and
fifty
winners
and
then
of
those
150.
We
got
second
prize
here
with
Anna
and
Ashley,
so
it's
a
huge
accomplishment
for
them
and
we're
so
excited
to
acknowledge
them,
and
with
that
we're
able
to
do
you
know
education
incentives
like
this.
D
Thanks
to
our
partners
from
Comcast,
so
c-span's
actually
funded
by
the
cable
industry
as
a
public
service,
it
allows
us
to
maintain
our
non-partisanship.
Give
you
that
raw
content
of,
what's
going
on
in
Washington
DC,
so
that
you're
able
to
watch
Washington
your
way,
which
is
pretty
awesome.
So
I'd
like
to
call
up
Anna
Nash
Lee
I'm,
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
their
video
to
you
guys,
since
they
are
the
producers
and
experts
here
on
the
wonderful
video
that
they
did
so.
E
So
we
talked
about
freedom
of
the
press
in
our
video
and
how
important
it
is
and
how
essential
it
is
to
democracy
and
how
it
defines
part
of
the
American
experience.
And
so
we
wanted
to
inspire
people
with
our
videos
to
really
fight
for
that
freedom
and
protect
it.
Yeah.
F
It
was
a
really
great
learning
experience.
We
contacted
a
lot
of
our
local
representatives
and
we
were
able
to
interview
some
state
representatives
and
even
some
congressmen.
We
were
really
surprised
by
the
number
of
people
that
responded
and
we're
willing
to
take
time.
Another
day
to
talk
with
us,
and
everyone
is
really
helpful
and
Kay
yeah
and
thank
you
to
c-span.
D
Thank
you
guys
they
get
it.
They
get
a
little
starstruck
they're
like
oh,
my
gosh
sway
talk.
What
do
I
say:
I'm
like
it's?
Okay,
you
guys
were

on
behalf
of
c-span

We're
so
proud
of

J
The
second
and
I'll
defer
to
the
district
council
Earth
if
he
wants
to
chime
in
on
that
one.
The
second
grant
it
comes
from
the
Winthrop
Square
garage
project
and
would
all
go
to
hiring
a
consultant
to
do
this
study.
The
ideas
that
it
would
be
complete,
potentially
by
the
end
of
the
year
and
then
lead
to
further
conversations
about
how
to
fund
that
those
changes
after
that,
but
again
defer
to
the
district
councillors
and
recommend
passage
today.
Thank
you,
Thank.
K
Madam
president,
councillor
wolf
said
it
best
this
money
that
zero
one
seven
four
would
be
used
for
this
critical
area
in
the
Sultan,
especially
on
issues
of
improving
pedestrian
safety,
making
our
streets
crosswalks,
sidewalks,
more
accessible
for
our
elderly
and
for
for
the
disabled
as
well.
So
pedestrian
safety
is
a
critical
part
of
this
of
this
plan,
and
you
know
you
also
recommend,
as
counselor
will
mentioned,
I

the

generate

there's

B
L
We
had
a
really
good
conversation
about
that
recently
with
the
commissioner
again
I
intend
to
vote
for
this

because
the
old,
laudable
goals
of
making
sure
that
we
are
coordinating
against
gang
violence
is
something
I
completely
support,
but
again
I
don't
want
to
lose
track
of
us.
Making
sure
that
the
very
ordinance
that
we
passed
here
in
terms
of
the
trust
Act
is
not
usurped
and
then
that
we
are
using
dollars
to
help
also
usurp
that.
So
just
wanted
to
note
that.
Thank
you.

to
go
into
their
own
pocket
to
pay
for
these
tickets
to
ensure
that
this
vital
health
care
is
being
delivered.
I
understand
we
have
our
good
colleague,
counsel
wu,
who
will
be
introducing
a
parking
related
matter
later
today,
does
have
some
provisions
in
there
regarding
this
issue,
and
it's
certainly
something
that
I
look
forward
to.
Perhaps
we
can
follow
the
conversations
together,
but
this
is
something
it's
been
a
long-standing
issue
that
needs
to
be
addressed
for
people
in
the
city
of
Boston,
Thank.
I
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
previous
speaker
as
well
as
councilman
Cathy,
for
their
work
on
this
and
also
recognize
the
efforts
of
SEIU
1199
with
respect
to
the
work
that
they've
done
advocating
on
behalf
of
their
health
care
attendants.
This
is
something
as
mentioned
has
been
discussed.
I
We
can
do
better
than
that
as
a
city
and
what
is
happening,
and
we've
already
seen
this
happen
in
our
local
community
health
centers,
which
is
our
great
physicians
and
their
staff
they're,
choosing
not
to
renew
with
our
community
health
centers,
because
they've
been
ticketed
into
submission
and
the
technology
is
there
for
it.
For
us
to
be
able
to
identify
some
type
of
plaque
ID
program,
if
you
will
where
we
can
continue
to
get
good
quality
health
care
opportunities
for
our
residents
and
for
families.
I
Otherwise,
what's
going
to
happen,
is
those
great
health
care
professionals
they're
doing
it
now?
They're
just
gonna
choose
other
locations
they're
going
to
choose
other
municipalities
to
to
conduct.
You
know
they're
there,
the
professional
trade
and
craft
and
and
what
we'll
be
left
with,
is
the
inexperienced,
but
the
buttes
will
get
the
buttes,
because
they're
gonna
be
the
only
ones
that
are
going
to
be
able
to
come
in
here
to
get
the
work.
I
The
talent
is
gonna,
go
to
two
other
locations,
and
so
I
think
that
this
is
a
no-brainer
from
a
number
of
different
perspectives.
I
know
that
you
know
whether
it's
the
the
you've
got
the
the
past
the
past
lane
that
the
the
master
as
for
for
our
tolls,
you
have
the
way
that
we
currently
do
a
system
where
the
vehicles
go
up
and
down
and
they
have
that
they
have
the
take.
The
pictures
of
the
plates
I
mean
the
technologies
they
had
to
allow
for
a
plaque,
a
program
for
healthcare
professionals.
I
The
time
has
come
for
it
to
happen,
and
it's
something
that
we
could
technically
actually
charge
for,
which
would
make
sense.
I'd
rather
charge
the
out-of-towner
than
the
person
that's
already
sort
of
paying
the
freight
here
with
taxes
and
excise
taxes
and
things
of
that
nature.
So,
if
there's
a
way
to
have
this
program
up
and
running,
I
think
that
our
health
care
providers
are
going
to
want
to
continue
to
come
here
and
provide
great
excellent
care
for
our
residents.
Thank
you,
madam
president,
forward
to
an
expedited
hearing,
Thank.
G
G
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
rise
to
offer
my
support
and
encourage
this
hearing
to
happen
soon.
I
know
that's
work,
that's
been
ongoing.
I
also
ask
that
we
look
to
add
and
have
a
conversation
about
itinerant
workers,
especially
in
the
Boston
Public
Schools,
that
are
visiting
schools
across
our
city
throughout
our
day
and
because
they're
going
in
and
out
of
schools,
they're,
often
not
able
to
find
parking
on
our
streets
and
sometimes
they're,
very
often
carrying
heavy
equipment
to
and
from
schools.
N
I
also
ask
that
we
consider
early
intervention
providers,
those
that
visit
our
homes
to
offer
physical
therapy
and
occupational
therapy
and
TfL
speech
therapy
to
our
youngest
residents
and
also
consider
the
role
that
the
visiting
nurses
may
play
for
new
moms
or
post
surgical
visits.
When
so
often
our
medical
system
is
pushing
patient's
home
sooner
so
making
sure
that
they
have
access
to
care
is
also
considered.

docket,
zero.
Six

will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
City
Neighborhood,
Services
and
veterans
and
military
affairs
docket.
L
You
very
much
I
am
I'm
rise
today
in
full
solidarity
and
with
full
support
of
my
Union
brothers
and
sisters
of
the
United
Auto
Workers.
I
am
a
member
of
that
Union
through
my
work
at
legal
services,
so
part
of
that
organizing
effort
of
that
union
is
to
make
sure
that
all
workers
are
seen
and
valued,
especially
workers
who
are
students
also
at
our
colleges
and
universities.
The
fact
that
matter
is
there
are
students
who
work
tirelessly.
L
We
have
graduate
students,
many
of
whom
are
becoming
parents
who
are
married,
who
are
working
extremely
hard
and
wondering
if
she
can
balance
both
keeping
her
job
as
a
searcher,
/
LabTech,
but
also
because
she's
pregnant
she's
concerned
about
telling
her
research
guide
or
her
professor,
that
her
pregnant
and
her
pregnancy
could
be
the
reason
why
she
no
longer
gets
to
continue
her
research.
She
has
no
protections.
She
has
no
reasonable
accommodations.
There
are
people
who
are
teaching
regularly
the
undergrad
students
who
grad
students
who
come
in
there
and
teach
for
the
professors.
L
Many
of
them
are
waiting
weeks,
if
not
the
entire
semester
for
their
paycheck,
because
the
professor
simply
forgets
to
sign
it.
There's
no
prioritization
for
them,
but
their
rents
are
due
on
the
first.
They
have
a
lot
of
bills
to
pay
day
care
so
on
and
so
forth,
they're
dealing
with
the
pressures
and
burdens
of
being
a
worker,
but
not
getting
any
of
the
protections
or
benefits
these
students
are
working
on
patents
worth
billions
of
dollars
for
these
institutions
to
make
money
off
of
and
still
can't
get
paid
minimum
wage.
Sometimes.
L
So
what
I'm
asking
for
is
that
we
stand
in
solidarity
with
those
workers
and
that's
what
they
are.
They
are
hard
workers
who
happen
to
also
be
part
of
research
institutions.
These
same
institutions
have
recognized
the
right
of
other
workers
to
organize,
be
it
in
their
security,
be
it
in
their
calf
cafeterias
and
when
they
didn't,
we
organized
and
stood
in
solidarity
with
local
26
to
make
sure
that
those
working
in
the
cafes
were
also
granted
worker
status
and
protections.
L
Today
we
have
a
bad
actor,
unfortunately,
at
Boston
College
they
have
not
only
not
recognized
the
recent
graduate
student
union
as
and
the
students
have
organized
a
union
and
voted
for
that,
but
they
refused
to
negotiate
with
them.
We're
still
when
the
students
began
to
organize
they
faced
academic
probation
and
were
punished
for
organizing
as
a
student
union
that
is
against
not
only
I,
think
the
character
of
the
institution,
but
against
the
Catholic
faith
that
they
are
so
proud
to
promote,
as
a
judgment
institution.
L
B
You
counselor
Edwards
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
or
add
their
name
and
actually
for
a
point
of
clarification.
Councillor
Edwards
one
is
you
want
to
seek
suspension
of
the
rules

adoption
today.
Thank
you,

A
J
We
again
we
passed
that
in
December
of
2017
and
since
then
have
only
gotten
one
quarterly
report
from
November
2018.
It
was
incredibly
I
opening
and
informative.
We
learned
through
that
report,
that
of
all
the
city
spend
everything
from
the
paper
that
we
buy
in
municipal
buildings
to
contracts
to
get
our
parks,
grass
cut
and
cleaned
up
of
all
of
those
dollars.
Currently,
0.72
cent
goes
to
businesses
owned
by
people
of
color.
0.74%
goes
to
certified
women-owned
business
enterprises
and
1.3
1%
goes
to
the
local
businesses,
so
we
have
a
lot
more
room
to
go.
J
I
want
to
thank
my
partner
in
this
counsellor
Janie
and
councillor
Flaherty,
who
has
helped
us
schedule
a
hearing
for
May
2nd
on
this
issue.
This
request
is
just
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
most
updated
numbers
in
the
latest
report.
Before
that
hearing,
we
had
sent
over
a
request
by
email,
but
had
not
heard
back
so
wanted
to
just
put
that
out
there
formally
as
well.
Thank
you
very
much.
O
O
According
to
the
ordinance,
the
reports
will
be
published
quarterly
and
submitted
to
the
mayor's
office
as
well
as
this
body,
the
Boston
City
Council.
No
such
report
has
been
published
online.
We
did
get
the
November
2018
report,
as
my
colleague
has
already
indicated.
Those
numbers
were
shocking.
She
mentioned
those
numbers
but
I'm
going
to
do
it
again,
because
I
think
we
really
need
to
sit
with
this.
O
Only
103
103
out
of
14,000
307
city
contracts
were
with
minority-owned
businesses
representing
4.3
million
dollars
out
of
664
million
dollars,
so
that's
4
million
out
of
664
million
dollars
again.
That
was
point
seven
two
percent
of
contracts
and
point
65
percent
of
hours
spent
that
was
for
people
of
color
businesses
of
color.
Only
106
out
of
the
same
14,000
307,
were
with
women-owned
businesses
representing
4.9
million
dollars,
that
was
0.74%
of
contracts
and
0.75
percent
of
businesses.
Only
187
again
out
of
the
14,000
307,
were
with
Boston
residents.
O
These
are
businesses,
local
businesses
to
Boston,
and
that
was
two
million
two
point:
three
million
dollars
representing
only
one
point:
three
one
percent
of
contracts
and
point
36
percent
of
dollars
spent
only
point
36
percent
of
the
money
that
this
city
spends
went
to
local
businesses.
We
can
do
better
people
and
only
one
contract
was
with
veteran
owned
businesses,
and
that
was
for
$4,500.
O
Certainly
my
colleague
counsel,
who
and
all
of
you
to
make
sure
that
we
are
increasing
those
numbers
and
doing
a
much
better
job
with
the
664
million
dollars
that
we
spend
every
day
making
sure
that
that
goes
to
local
businesses,
people
of
color
and
women.
Don't
businesses.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
for
your
partnership.
Thank.
B
You
councillor,
Janey
and
I'm
assuming
but
want
to
make
a
clarify.
You
guys
would
like
to
suspend
the
rules
today
in
a
pass.
This
order.
Okay,
thank
you.
Anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
or
add
their
name
to
the
order.
Madam
clerk,
if
you
could
add

Edwards

Would
you
like
to
add
your

before
you
go
back?
Thank
you
and
madam
clerk.
B
If
you
could
also
add
councillor
co-moh
at
this
time,
counselor
and
councillor
Janie
seeks
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
docket
zero,
six,
eight
zero,
all
those
in
favor
of
passage,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
dark
at
zero.
Six,
eight
zero
has
been
passed.
Moving
on
to
zero
six,
eight
one
docket.
J
You,
madam
president,
you
all
might
have
heard
a
little
bit
about
this
already.
I
certainly
have
I
am
at
the
point
now,
where,
for
several
years,
we've
had
conversations
about
Resident
parking
in
Boston,
had
a
public
hearing
and
more
meetings
and
more
conversations
with
residents
from
various
neighborhoods
and
the
long
short
of
it
is
that
our
resident
parking
system
isn't
working
for
a
lot
of
residents.
J
It
is
incredibly
tough
to
have
a
discussion
with
residents
to
charge
for
something
that
people
are
currently
getting
for
free,
but
the
charge
that
we
are
already
paying
is
that
people
circling
looking
for
a
spot
when
they
get
home
from
work
in
some
neighborhoods
an
hour
or
more.
If
you
get
home
a
minute
after
4:45
or
5:00
p.m.
that
is
leading
to
a
lot
more
traffic
and
congestion
that
is
leading
to
pollution
and
our
air
quality,
creating
more
asthma
in
our
youth
and
people
who
live
in
these
congested
areas.
J
Interestingly,
just
today
or
yesterday,
mass
Inc
came
out
with
a
poll
and
people's
opinions
when
it
comes
to
traffic
and
congestion.
How
how
are
residents
being
affected
by
the
experience
of
living
in
such
a
condition
City,
so
residents
that
have
commutes
that
45
minutes
or
more
over
half
of
them
have
recently
considered
changing
jobs.
30%
of
them
have
considered
leaving
the
area
altogether.
J
2/3
of
people
surveyed
said
they
have
to
schedule
their
lives
around.
What
is
what
would
be
ideal
from
them?
They
have
to
choose
a
different
schedule
than
what
would
be
ideal
to
avoid
the
worst
parts
of
traffic.
It
is
so
bad
nearly
two
thirds
report
that
they
are
dressed,
angry,
frustrated
and
I
think
we've
all
experienced
that
trying
to
get
around
the
city.
So
what's
the
connection
between
resident
parking
and
traffic,
some
studies
have
suggested
that
30%
of
cars
circling
a
congested
downtown
area
are
looking
for
parking.
J
So
when
we
make
it
difficult
for
people
to
find
spots
when
we
keep
it
artificially
low
costs,
there's
no
thinking
about
what
you'll
do
with
your
car.
Of
course,
you'll
get
the
the
resident
parking
spot.
Of
course,
you'll
just
try
to
find
a
spot,
even
if
that
means
you
have
to
circle
the
block
a
couple
times
or
a
long
time.
Cities
that
have
moved
from
having
a
free
system
to
even
having
a
very
modest
charge
have
seen
people
think
about
their
car
usage
and
their
parking
decisions
differently.
Again.
J
J
We
have
to
have
a
conversation
about
our
neighborhoods,
because
quality
of
life
is
being
impacted,
people
are
feeling
it
and
we
don't
have
to
be
trapped
in
this
situation
where
some
neighborhoods
you
just
have
to
deal
with
it
and
you're
just
gonna
have
to
circle.
It
cause
traffic
and
cause
pollution.
These
are
policy
decisions
that
people
are
making
and
we
need
to
have
that
conversation
as
tough
as
it
is.
J
It
all
has
to
be
on
the
table
and
unless
the
city
of
Boston
is
doing
our
part
by
taking
every
step
that
we
can
take,
we
are
not
truly
serving
our
residents.
Well,
so
I
welcome
your
feedback.
I
know
it's
difficult
to
talk
about
things
like
this,
but
this
is
open
for
debate
and
discussion.
I
just
felt
like
after
three
four
years
now
of
talking
with
the
administration
and
talking
with
colleagues,
it
is
time
to
put
an
official
proposal
on
the
table
and
we
can
have
a
debate
some
discussion
from
there.
Thank
you,
Thank.
P
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
rise
to
speak
in
opposition
to
this
audience:
dr.
zero,
six,
eight
one
with
residents
of
the
city
already
paying
so
much
of
their
heart
or
any
money.
Folks
read
up
on
mortgage,
paying
for
property
taxes
and
high
exercise
tanks.
This
ordinance
plays
an
unnecessary
part
of
the
burden
on
our
Drive
and
residents,
and
it
is
inappropriate.
This
is
a
slippery
slope
as
what
would
start
down
$25
$50
for
a
parking
permit,
I
am
sure
would
turn
to
one
hundred
dollars.
P
How
about
we
first
partner
with
the
Boston
Police
Department,
to
fix
the
problem
in
the
city
before
charging
our
resident
these
fees,
when
they
cannot
find
a
resident
resident
spot
to
park
even
with
a
free
permit?
Finally,
as
it
regards
transportation,
we
cannot
have
it
both
ways.
We
cannot
say
that
you
shouldn't
pay
to
write
the
T
and
then
turn
around
and
charge
citizens
for
parking
man.
Thank
you.
O
You
so
much,
madam
president,
I
rise
to
offer
my
support
to
my
colleague,
Consul
Wu,
for
putting
this
on
the
table.
I
think
it's
a
very
important
conversation
and
it's
a
conversation.
We
have
to
be
willing
to
have
I.
Think
it's
very
courageous
of
you.
Obviously,
people
who
have
been
getting
things
for
free,
don't
want
to
start
paying
for
them.
I
understand
that
$25
may
be
our
hardship
for
some
and
I
am
glad
to
see
the
exemptions
in
this
ordinance
that
would
exempt
low-income
residents,
our
seniors,
certainly
the
the
visiting
nurses
etc.
O
But
we've
got
to
be
willing
to
have
this
conversation
my
first
year
and
a
half
on
this
body.
It's
not
even
a
year
and
a
half
it's
about
16
months,
I,
guess
on
May
1st
one
of
the
top
issues,
obviously
housing
very
important
education,
very
important,
but
everywhere
you
go.
You
hear
about
parking!
You
hear
about
traffic,
you
hear
about
congestion
right
now.
There
are
many
neighborhoods
who
want
to
see
more
residential
parking
permits,
whether
they
are
free
or
whether
or
not
they
have
to
pay.
O
But
that's
a
double-edged
sword
that
people
have
to
realize
it
has
a
ripple
effect.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
collect
some
revenue
for
our
city.
Clearly
we
have
to
do
this.
If
we
are
going
to
do
this,
we
need
to
do
it
in
a
smart
way
and
again,
I
think
you've
put
forward
a
Mart
proposal
that
will
at
least
get
the
ball
rolling
and
allow
us
to
have
this
important
conversation.
We
can't
shy
away
from
having
a
conversation
because
it
may
be
unpopular
because
people
have
been
getting
this
for
free.
O
We
do
need
the
revenue
we
just
kicked
off
a
budget
season
this
week.
We
certainly
know
that
the
receipts
come
in
to
the
city
is
a
very
small
piece
of
that
pie.
This
would
certainly
increase
that,
but
if
we
are
going
to
do
this,
I
certainly
support
a
graduated
system.
It
may
be
that
we
exempt
the
first
vehicle.
It
may
be
that
we
offer
something
small
like
$25,
mind
you.
This
is
over
the
course
of
a
year,
so
$25
costs
way
more
to
fill
your
tank
and
do
everything
else
it
does
with
your
car
I.
O
Don't
think
it's
unreasonable
for
us
to
have
this
conversation
in
fact,
I
think
it's
very
important
for
us
to
have
this
conversation
not
just
from
a
revenue
standpoint,
but
as
one
to
really
help
us
think
about
how
to
keep
traffic
moving,
how
to
free
up
some
parking
in
our
city,
which
is
becoming
overrun
by
vehicles
in
our
city.
So
we
have
to
look
at
all
of
the
tools
yet
again
to
ensure
that
we
are
that
we
are
really
putting
forth
something
that
will
help
improve
the
quality
of
life
for
the
residents
in
this
great
city.
O
I
certainly
commend
my
colleague
for
raising
the
concerns,
but
I
think
that's
the
point
of
the
conversation
so
that
we
can
all
discuss
and
put
out
what
we
think
is
good
about
perhaps
charging
for
resident
parking,
but
also
what
are
some
of
the
pitfalls,
and
how
do
we
avoid
those
pitfalls
right
now?
It
already
includes
the
exemptions
for
low-income
and
seniors,
which
is
very
important
to
me.
A
constituent
of
mine
I
spoke
with
this
morning,
was
concerned
about
that
and
I
followed
up
right
away
to.
O
O
L
You
very
much
and
I
want
to
commend
the
maker
for
your
leadership
and
yes,
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
it
is
a
brave
move
that
you
are
taking
and
I
do
think
that
that's
at
least
worth
noting,
because
it
is
not
an
easy
thing
to
these
proposes
conversation
but
I
think
the
conversations
actually
bigger
than
the
fees
that
we're
going
to
charge.
The
question
really
is
about
parking
reform
in
Boston.
L
That's
what
we
need,
and
while
there
are
people
who
pose
this
particular
tool
in
the
toolbox,
ultimately,
we
can
go
back
and
forth
and
all
the
different
kind
of
exemptions,
the
fees,
the
step
up,
whether
the
first
all
those
different
combinations
of
ways
to
get
there.
What
is
not
a
what
is
not
going
to
be
on
the
table
and
what
can
no
longer
stay
is
maintaining
the
status
quo
we
have
to
change.
L
The
question
is
how
we're
going
to
change
together
so
that
we
do
not
hurt
those
who
are
particularly
concerned
about
their
pocketbooks
and
that
we
don't
burden
people
who
have
literally
just
lived
here
and
are
trying
to
just
come
home.
There
are
people
who
I
think
that
this
ordinance
invites
the
table.
I
would
invite
more
people
to
this
conversation
with
some
suggestions.
L
One
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
not
before
we're
talking
about
Boston
residents,
paying
for
parking
that
we
really
talk,
go
back
to
the
communities
and
how
the
communities
come
up
with
corridors
where
there
could
be
metered
parking
for
folks
who
don't
live
in
Boston
necessarily
are
coming
in
possibly
parking
by
our
tea
stations
and
because
they
have
two
hours
of
free
park
and
getting
on
the
tea
and
coming
back
to
that
tea
station.
That's
on
their
border
of
Boston
and
then
going
on
about
their
business.
L
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
true
conversation
about
how,
if
we're
gonna,
if
the
goal
is
to
generate
revenue
for
enforcement,
that
we
generate
revenue
and
the
burden
is
shared
for
all
people,
not
just
residents
of
Boston
but
folks
who
come
in
and
just
Park
for
free
in
our
neighborhoods,
where
the
to
our
parking
and
then
contribute
nothing
while
I'm
supposed
to
or
I
may
pay
$25.
For
my
one,
car
I
want
to
make
sure
that
also
folks
who
are
invited
to
the
table
are
employers.
L
You
know,
there's
incentives
that
they
can
give
to
their
employees,
helping
them
are
paying
them
or
subsidizing
tea
passes.
That's
something
that
we
should
have
companies
also
doing
and
I
hope
the
city
of
Boston
considers
doing
that
as
well,
not
just
from
our
direct
pay,
but
making
sure
that
they
are
incentivizing
their
employees
to
take
public
transportation
by
offering
them
discounted
tea
rates,
I
think
what's
key
and
what
I
do
really
Amex
n
and
very
excited
about
this
ordinance
is
having
the
park.
L
It's
parking
census
actually
incorporated
into
that
conversation,
because
it's
it's
really
hard
to
come
up
with
a
policy
about
a
finite
amount
of
parking
spaces.
If
we
actually
don't
know
what
that
number
is
and
where
they
are
I
think
also
what's
really
great
about
this,
is
the
visitor
Pat
parking
pass,
which
something
I
think
in
general?
We
need
to
have
a
serious
conversation
about.
I
also
wanted
to
make
sure
that
part
of
this
parking
reform
conversation
involves
where
we
would
have
pickup
drop-off
sites
for
uber
and
lyft
I.
L
Think
one
of
the
most
frustrating
things
is
watching
them
circle
around
the
neighborhood's
waiting
for
their
next
call.
When
in
some
places
we
can
actually
just
say,
uber
and
lyft
will
pick
up
over
here
and
that's
where
you
will
pick
up
and
people
can
rock
to
them.
I
think
what
it
comes
down
to.
It
is
also
looking
at
making
sure
that,
when
we
have
this
conversation,
the
exemptions
are
truly
for
our
most
vulnerable
and
include
all
of
those
individuals.
One
population
in
particular
that
I
would
love
to
see.
L
Added
to
this
are
those
who
are
in
our
homeless
shelters.
We
actually
had
a
case
worth
a
woman
who
was
assigned
through
the
state
to
crossroads
in
East
Boston.
The
only
thing
she
had
left
was
her
car.
That
was
the
only
way
that
she
could
make
enough
money
to
hopefully
get
out
of
the
shelter
and
the
City
of
Boston
put
a
boot
on
it
because
she
didn't
have
a
resident
sticker
and
therefore
she
couldn't
afford
the
tickets
to
pay
there.
L
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
when
we're
talking
parking
reform-
and
that's
really
what
I'm
hoping
this
conversation
becomes.
Yes,
we
need
to
talk
about
fees,
but
we
really
actually
need
to
change
how
things
work.
We
have
a
parking
task
force
kicked
off
in
East
Boston,
where
were
literally
planning
where
angle
parking
would
go
where
new
leaders
would
go.
That's
I
think
the
conversation
and
I
also
think
I
want
to
I
want
to
be
clear
about
the
vision
for
this
as
well.
Is
the
goal
to
generate
revenue
or
is
the
goal
to
reduce?
L
Excuse
me
reduce
the
amount
of
cars
on
the
street
I.
Don't
know
that
$25
is
going
to
do
that.
I,
don't
know
that
$50
is
gonna,
do
that,
but
without
that
kind
of
clear
vision
and
goal,
I
think
that
this
conversation
will
be
harder
to
have
before
when
I
earn
before.
I
conclude,
I
also
wanted
to
thank
Commissioner
Gina
fan
Daka
for
her
incredible
work.
L
She
actually
came
out
in
the
middle
of
the
week
to
meet
with
the
parking
task
force
in
East
Boston
and
just
in
general
I
mean
we
I'm
gonna
deeply
miss
her
and
her
service
and
her
leadership
when
it
comes
to
parking
and
BTD.
She
has
been
incredible
not
only
to
her
community
of
East
Boston
but
to
all
of
all
of
Boston,
and
she
will
be
sorely
missed.
Dallas
is
definitely
getting
a
great
great
person,
great
Bostonian
and
a
great
commissioner.
So
I
wanted
to
note
that
as
well.
Thank
you
would.
B
N
You,
madam
president,
I
want
to
say
that
I
think
that
this
ordinance
here,
although
we
do
have
to
talk
about
the
resident
stickers
in
our
city,
the
amount
of
resident
stickers
that
are
out
and
about
in
our
neighborhoods
we've
missed
I.
Think
the
conversation
that
councillor
Edwards
has
just
alluded
to
that
thinking
about
parking
thinking
about
transportation
in
a
much
more
strategic
way
in
our
city.
On
the
face
of
this,
this
order
appears
to
be
punishing
to
some
of
our
outlying
neighborhoods.
N
It
appeared
that
don't
have
access
to
transportation
to
get
into
our
cities
so
easily.
It
seems
to
be
difficult
for
many
of
our
families
who
need
transportation
to
get
their
kids
either
to
and
from
school
or
to
and
from
the
hockey
rink
or
to
and
from
the
ball
field
or
to
and
from
after
school
or
weekend
activities.
N
We
have
mechanisms
in
place
right
now,
where
we
are
currently
taxing
through
excise
tax
on
certainly
through
parking
tickets.
The
current
residents
in
the
city
of
Boston.
What
we
have
missed
in
some
of
these
conversations
are
those
that
are
from
outside
of
the
city
of
Boston,
outside
of
the
commonwealth
of
boston,
who
are
abusing
and
using
our
streets
without
giving
any
resources
without
paying
in
paying
in
with
insurance
tax,
without
paying
in
an
excise
tax.
A
lot
of
our
rideshare
companies
come
from
out
of
state,
never
mind
out
of
city
using
our
roads.
N
N
I'm
really
excited
to
learn
more
about
the
parking
task
force
in
East
Boston
and
how
we
could
maybe
duplicate
that
and
expand
that
throughout
the
city
of
Boston
and
making
sure
that
transportation
is
available
for
all
Bostonians
a
in
a
meaningful
way
before
we
start
to
punish
those
that
have
cars
now.
Is
there
room
for
charging
for
those
parking
passes
so
that
we
have
a
better
idea
of
who
has
what
and
where
in
the
city
of
Boston?
N
Should
we
do
that
inventory
of
parking
spaces
that
have
been
asked
for
from
this
body
for
longer
than
I've
sat
on
this
council?
Yes,
those
are
all
important
things
to
do.
This
is
certainly
an
important
conversation
to
have,
but
it
is
one
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
thoughtfully.
Councillor
Edwards
said
about
including
lots
of
different
parties
at
the
table.
Resident
parking
in
our
neighborhoods
right
now
as
it
stands,
is
helpful
in
many
spots,
especially
those
that
are
close
to
tea
spots.
But
it's
been
hurtful
for
many
of
our
small
businesses.
N
We
are
unable
to
enforce
to
our
parking
in
many
of
our
neighborhood
business
districts.
We
can't
enforce
15-minute
parking
and
and
I
think
none
of
our
places
across
the
city
of
Boston
and
that's
important
to
think
about
our
residents
to
think
about
those
that
need
access
to
vehicles
to
think
about
our
small
businesses
who
the
cost
of
living
has
gotten
higher
in
the
city
of
Boston,
so
hasn't
the
cost
of
doing
business
in
the
city
of
Boston.
So
how
do
we
think
about
all
of
those
interests
when
we
talk
about
something
like
this
I
think?
N
It's
an
important
piece
of
the
larger
conversation
I
wish
that
we
were
having
the
larger
conversation
I
would
encourage
the
larger
conversation
as
we
go
forward
with
this
ordinance.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I.
Do
wish
to
have
my
name
added,
because
I
would
like
to
be
a
part
of
this
conversation.
I
think
it's
important
for
all
of
us
to
for
all
of
us
to
do
that.
Thank
you.
B
G
You
very
much
Madam
President
I
rise.
This
is
I,
don't
have
a
lot
of
resident
parking
and
district
5
to
be
very
honest
with
you,
but
everybody
who
has
a
resident
parking
sticker
has
already
called
me.
I
believe
and
they're,
not
they're,
not
thrilled.
Sorry,
Michelle,
they're,
not
thrilled
at
all
I.
Think
government
in
general
I
do
agree
with
my
colleague
from
Dorchester.
This
hurts
middle-class
families
growing
up
here.
I
needed
a
car
I
needed
to
get
the
Little
League
I
needed
to
get
the
football
practice.
G
The
buses
don't
go
by
all
of
the
fields
and
all
the
Rings,
all
the
hoop
courts
that
my
kids
played
at
I
needed
a
car
in
the
25
bucks.
You
know
I
could
swing
it.
I
we're
lucky
enough
to
swing
it,
but
other
people
aren't
like
you
know
to
swing
it,
but
government
in
general
we
missed
the
ball.
We
dropped
the
ball,
we
swung
and
missed.
However,
you
want,
or
whatever
cliche
you
want,
we
missed
it.
G
G
So
I'd
like
to
rip
open
the
band
data
on
uber
and
lyft
already
and
get
them
to
pay
and
I
mean
I
think
we
should
go
over
the
top
of
them.
If
you
have
50
thousand
cars
driving
around
the
city
boss
and
you
whacked
them
for
surges
of
five
dollars
during
7
a.m.
to
7
p.m.
I.
Can't
do
the
math
fast
enough!
Matt
get
on
that
I'm!
G
I
think
my
excise
tax
is
$97,
come
on
yeah
97
bucks,
if
I
move
to
Dedham
I'd
be
paying
about
8
bucks
on
that
it's
it's
ridiculous
and
the
fact
that
out
in
front,
if
you
get
a
two
cars
and
smash
into
each
other,
one
car
from
Winthrop
a
one
car
from
Kenton
who
gets
the
who
gets
the
penalty
in
the
insurance?
We
do.
We
do
not
Canada.
So
you
know
you
can
you
can
insure
your
car
out
weekend
for
a
third
of
what
you're
charging
in
High
Park?
G
And
it's
because
this
smashing
into
each
other
out
in
front?
So
we've
got
a
lot
to
work
on
I'm
glad
you
brought
the
conversation
up
because
I
want
to
bring
everybody
in
and
just
hammer
everybody,
but
IIIi
worry
about
the
citizens
of
Boston
I.
Don't
care
about
the
citizens
of
Dedham
and
Westwood
and
can
I'm
not
I'm,
not
seeking
further
office,
so
I
don't
care
about
them,
I,
just
care
about
the
people
who
are
here
and-
and
we
should
whack
people
who
want
to
come
in
here
or
was
in
lifts.
That's
Diego!
Sorry,
thanks!
Thank.
I
I
So
that's
one
of
the
concerns
we
started
in
the
downtown
when
parking
garage
fees
went
up
in
doe
when
garages
came
down
and
we
redeveloped
the
parking
fraud,
handicapped,
parking
fraud
and
abuse
rows,
and
that
was
because
folks
from
suburban
communities,
I
just
go
to
the
doctor,
fill
out
the
form,
get
the
note
get
the
application,
and
then
they
get
a
placard.
They
come
in
from
all
parts
north
and
south
park
in
the
downtown.
Take
your
very
precious
parking
space
off
of
the
streets
of
park.
I
Do
they
all
all
day,
don't
have
to
pay
the
meter?
They
could
be
there
for
8
10
12
16
hours,
throw
with
the
nose
up
at
us.
We
don't
get
the
revenue
we
lose
out
on
millions
of
dollars
every
year.
No
one
does
anything
about
it
and
that's
the
circling
of
the
block.
That's
what
causes
people,
because
when
you
have
someone
taking
up
a
space
and
that
meters
not
turning
over
because
they
have
the
placard
and
again
this
isn't
for
folks
that
legit!
This
is
for
everyone.
That's
just
looking
for
a
downtown
parking
spot.
I
They
don't
want
to
pay
the
garage
fees.
My
concern
is:
that's
now
gonna
now
play
out
into
the
neighborhoods,
because
people
aren't
gonna
want
to
be
nickeled
and
dimed
they're
not
gonna
want
to
pay
25
for
the
first
guy
50,
my
cop,
my
house
alone,
that'll
be
375.
Okay,
I
get
five
cops
I
get
that's
how
my
program
runs
ones
going
this
way
one's
going.
That
way,
someone's
got
school,
someone's
good
after
school
hockey
Sokka
it's
it's
a
disaster.
I
mean
you
try
to
keep
up
pace
with
my
house.
I
Good
luck
to
you,
but
that
alone
it's
just
gonna
prevent
it's
just
gonna
cause
people
to
say
you
know:
I'm,
not
gonna,
do
that,
and
then
they
will
go
to
the
doctor.
They
will
get
the
note.
They
will
follow
up
the
allegation
that
all
of
our
neighborhood
will
will
be
will
have
handicapped
parking
places
all
over
them.
That's
what's
gonna
happen
that
that's
those
are
the
facts
of
what
potentially
could
happen
here.
So
council,
redwoods
I,
think
you
know
had
suggested
at
best
like
talk
about
sort
of
a
wider
wider
spectrum.
I
Mbta
needs
a
seat
at
the
table.
They
don't,
we
don't
need
2019.
We
do
not
need
a
bus,
stop
on
every
single
street
corner
and
they
don't
need
to
be
a
football
field
in
length.
They
don't.
We
could
talk
about
bump
outs.
We
could
talk
about
maybe
every
other
Street
or
every
third
Street
that
right
there
will
free
up
hundreds
hundreds
of
parking
spaces
in
every
single
neighborhood.
So,
instead
of
us
getting
in
a
big
fight
and
circling
the
block
over
parking
spaces,
let's
bring
the
MBTA
in
Council.
Rail
was
also
reference
angle
parking.
I
They
allow
residents
to
park
there.
So
look
at
some
of
our
our
own
assets,
our
municipal
buildings,
and
allow
for
parking
overnight.
That
will
help
alleviate
or
reach
out
to
some
commercial
businesses
and
partnerships
that
have
big
parking.
Lots
that
allow
for
parking
overnight.
Our
municipal
Lots
allow,
for
overnight
parking,
maybe
take
some
of
the
Lots
and
convert
them
to
municipal
garages.
There
are
a
lot
of
different
creative
solutions
that
we
could
do
to
alleviate.
I
The
parking
crunch
I
think
that
would
serve
a
huge
purpose
as
opposed
to
again
fiing
and
fining
people
into
submission
people
can
argue
there.
Excise
tax
pays
that
their
insurance
sounds
so
McCarthy
referenced
that
if
there's
an
accident
on
I-93,
north
or
south
or
on
I-90
east
the
West,
because
it's
on
the
expressway
it
we
get
the
credit
for
it
and
so
try
getting
your
insurance.
So
Irish,
it's
it's
it's
everything.
I
So
now
is
the
time
to
have
the
conversation,
but
I
do
not
think
the
answer
is,
and
my
my
hesitation
is
that
all's
that
will
do
is
exacerbate
the
handicapped,
parking
fraud,
abuse
which
currently
exists
in
the
city.
No
one's
do
anything
about
it
and
it
cost
us
millions.
Every
single.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
B
Thank
You
councillor
Flaherty
I,
just
want
to
add
just
given
my
put
my
district
counselor
lens
on
and
first
of
all,
Thank
You
councillor
rule
for
bringing
it
forward.
I
agree
with
much
of
what
my
colleagues
have
said,
including
councillor
Edwards
I,
look
forward
to
sort
of
the
analysis
piece
gathering
that
data
to
truly
get
a
sense
of
what
the
problem
is,
how
many
parking
spaces
do
we
have?
How
does
it
affect
each
neighbourhood
representing
largely
Dorchester
in
Mattapan?
B
We
are
in
the
Matapan
in
particular,
is
in
the
place
where
there's
a
transit
desert
it's
difficult
to
get
to
the
tea,
so
people
really
do
need
their
vehicles.
I
wouldn't
want
to
penalize
them.
We
also
have
residents
who
are
now
looking
for
more
resident
permit
parking,
because
people
from
out
of
town
are
parking,
their
Astra,
Aunty
station
or
other
stops
along
the
red
line
and
our
folks
can't
park
in
their
own
neighborhoods,
either
during
the
day
or
at
night.
B
So
what
does
it
mean
to
bring
that
into
the
conversation
without
penalizing
those
residents
and
district
4?
Largely
a
district?
You
know
still
concentrated
much
in
poverty.
There
are
different
pockets
that
are
concentrated
in
poverty,
probably
one
of
the
poorest
in
the
City
of
Boston
I,
real
concerns
about
adding
additional
cost
to
those
residents,
and
then
insurance.
B
I
mean
people
already
thinking
about
leaving
the
neighborhood
really
good
employees,
public
employees,
folks
who
are
dedicated
to
that
community,
because
the
insurance
rates
keep
going
up
and
they're
so
high,
so
definitely
want
to
apply
sort
of
an
equity
lens
to
this
conversation
and
expand
it
like
a
month.
Any
many
colleagues
have
said
to
be
broader.
What
is
the
purpose?
Is
it
revenue
and
if
its
revenue,
I'm
not
gonna,
buy
that
piece?
B
I
will
add
one
of
the
pieces
that
I
struggle
with
is
the
charging
a
visitor
to
to
come.
I,
don't
know
how
that
would
work.
Logistically,
you
know
growing
up
in
the
south
end
we
had
resident
permit
parking.
Yes,
visitors
struggled
to
find
a
place
to
park.
They
come
visit
you
and
get
ticketed.
There
was,
you
know,
limited
spaces
for
them,
so
maybe
we
really
need
to
be
talking
about
municipal
parking
lots.
People
have
been
talking
about
that
for
some
time.
Where
do
we
build
those?
B
J
Actually
forgot
to
mention
the
visitor
parking
piece
earlier
so
just
to
clarify
the
visitor
parking
permit,
wouldn't
mean
now
charging
for
people
to
come
in
where
they
weren't
being
charged
to
begin
with,
it
would
model
what
every
other
city
around
us,
Cambridge
Somerville
Brookline
is
already
doing,
where
they
have
a
charge
for
resident
parking
of
a
certain
amount
per
year,
and
then
they
have
a
separate
visitors
parking
pass.
Where,
if
you
have
a
you
know,
your
daughter
is
coming
to
visit
you
overnight
or
friends
from
out
of
town.
J
You
can
in
a
lot
of
places,
go
online
and
you
know
ideally
enter
the
license
plate
or
whatever
pay
for
it
that
way,
and
then
they
can
park
in
a
resident
parking
spot.
So
that's
how
they
handle
it
with
it
when
it's
a
separate,
visitor
parking
pass,
but
it
folds
into
the
resident
parking
program.
Much
of
the
outer
lying
neighborhoods
wouldn't
be
affected
by
this.
Actually,
this
would
cover
about
40%
of
registered
vehicles
in
the
city
of
Boston.
J
B
My
fear
is
that
those
numbers
will
grow
they're,
definitely
growing
in
the
southern
part
of
Dorchester
as
more
and
more
people
are
wanting
to
hop
on
our
redline
or
get
on
our
trolley
and
Matapan
to
head
downtown
so
that
while
it
may
be
low,
now
I
see
that
changing
drastically
and
so
want
us
to
be
mindful
of
it
and
in
terms
of
Cambridge
I,
absolutely
agree
with
you:
mom
asides
from
Cambridge.
You
could
get
a
visiting
permit
parking
pass,
you
put
it
in
your
car
and
usually
your
household
was
limited
to
one
or
two.
B
The
question
is
whether
or
not
we
should
attach
a
fee
or
fine
and
folks
I'm
concerned
about
that
piece
of
the
proposal
as
well.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
bringing
forth
the
conversation.
Anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
or
add
their
name.
At
this
time,
docket
zero.
Six
eight
one
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
government
operations.
H
You,
madam
president,
I'm
delighted
to
again
partner
with
my
dear
colleague
and
friend,
the
at-large
comes
from
Dorchester
and
chair
of
the
council's
Education
Committee,
several.
What
I
guess
was
about
two
months
ago
now
we
testified
in
support
of
the
education
promise
act
at
the
State
House.
It
was
a
marathon
session
I
know
many
of
you
were
there
as
well
and
went
on
for
probably
10
or
12
hours,
so
very
briefly
where,
whereas
the
state
legislature
continues
to
deliberate,
this
really
really
important
funding
mechanism
for
public
education
throughout
the
Commonwealth.
H
We
are
putting
a
resolution
forward
today
and
we'll
be
asking
for
suspension
of
the
rules
and
adoption
of
the
resolution.
It
is
in
support
of
Senate
bill
238
and
House
bill
586,
which
is
also
known
as
the
education
promise
Act.
This
bill
was
first
introduced
to
the
Massachusetts
state
Senate
by
state
senator
Sonia
chang-diaz
of
Jamaica
Plain.
The
education
promise
act
would,
over
a
period
of
time,
implement
the
core
recommendations
of
the
foundation
budget,
Review
Commission,
which
was
established
in
2015
by
the
Massachusetts
State
Legislature.
H
In
order
to
examine
how
the
Foundation's
funding
standard
was
calculated
in
Chapter.
70
of
school
finance
law,
the
chapter
70
formula
essentially
calculates
that
a
foundation
budget
for
each
school
district,
based
on
student,
demographics,
enrollment
and
local
wage
levels
to
determine
the
minimal
funding
minimum
funding
needed
to
provide
a
sufficient
education
to
each
student.
The
Commission
identified
employee
health
insurance,
special
education
funding
and
the
achievement
gap
for
low-income
in
English
language
learners.
To
be
the
three
areas
where
the
1993
Massachusetts
education
reform
act
has
fallen.
H
Very
short,
1993
bill
was
signed
into
law
as
an
initiative
intended
to
establish
equity
across
all
public
schools.
Well,
it
did
manage
to
improve
the
achievement
gap
that
existed
at
that
time.
Initially,
there
still
exists
a
wide
disparity
and
adequate
funding
between
the
wealthier
and
low-income
communities.
Consequently,
cities
like
Worcester
and
Brockton
have
been
vocal
about
filing
new
lawsuits
to
chapter
the
70s
chapter
70
formula.
H
In
the
wake
of
the
increased
class
size
and
teacher
layoffs,
it
is
crucial
that
we,
as
the
legislative
body
for
the
City
of
Boston,
stand
with
our
state
legislature
in
support
of
an
act
that
realistically
accounts
for
the
funds
that
are
urgently
needed
for
public
schools
across
the
Commonwealth.
These
efforts
would
increase
the
base
rate
of
funding
the
district's,
low-income
and
English
language
learners,
increased
funding
for
school,
employee
health
care
costs
and
boost
education
spending
by
more
than
1
billion
dollars
per
year.
H
The
education
promise
act
is,
as
it
suggests,
suggests,
a
promise
to
the
students
and
educators
across
the
Commonwealth
who
were
assured
through
our
Constitution
and
the
1993
reform
act.
The
public
schools
should
be
able
and
ought
to
be
able
to
provide
for
every
child
a
quality
education
under
the
guiding
principles
of
adequacy
and
fairness.
This
would
obviously
be
enormous
ly
helpful
to
our
57,000
students
in
the
bps,
but
equally
important.
It
would
be
transformative
for
cities
and
towns
throughout
the
well
particularly
gateway
cities
that
are
really
really
struggling.
H
N
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
to
councillor
O'malley
for
his
partnership
and
leadership
in
this
work
and
for
his
company
when
we
trucked
up
to
the
state
house
and
waited
for
what
seemed
almost
a
lifetime
to
testify
in
support
of
this
bill.
The
promised
act
bill
is
councillor
O'malley
or
my
colleague
from
West
Roxbury
has
so
eloquently.
Shared
is
certainly
important.
What
I
want
to
additionally
share
with
you
is
in
Boston,
and
one
of
the
challenges
that
we
face
here
in
Boston
is
the
concern.
N
But
we
think
is
much
closer
to
5,000.
We
know
that
we
do
not
have
enough
resources
to
support
those
students
and
their
needs
when
the
number
of
special
students
receiving
special
ed
services
is
in
the
tens
of
thousands.
We
know
that
we
need
additional
services
to
support
our
students.
What
we
have
is
not
enough.
N
What
we
do
is
not
enough
when
I
think
about
the
thousands
of
students,
the
tens
of
thousands
of
students
in
our
district
who
have
experienced
trauma
who
do
not
have
access
to
full
time:
nurses
who
do
not
have
access
to
behavioral
health
and
mental
health
specialists
in
their
schools.
We
know
that
we
do
not
have
enough
in
the
city
of
Boston
in
this
problem.
These
challenges
replicate
themselves
across
the
Commonwealth
in
so
many
of
the
school
districts
in
this
great
state.
N
But
here
in
Boston
our
sponsibility
is
to
standing
up
for
and
making
sure
that
we
have
not
just
appropriate
funding,
but
the
funding
our
kids
need
the
funding.
Our
kids
deserve
to
get
the
services
that
they
need.
We
certainly
do
our
part
here
on
the
Boston
City
Council,
making
sure
that
the
budget
reflects
those
foods
that
we're
putting
pressure
not
just
on
each
other
through
this
work,
but
on
our
Boston
School
Committee
on
our
mayor
to
make
sure
that
schools
are
getting
the
resources
they
need
to
do
the
work.
N
But
as
we
work
in
partnership
with
the
school
committee
and
with
the
mayor,
the
state
needs
to
be
in
partnership
with
us,
as
we
take
care
of
some
of
the
kids
that
are
facing
the
greatest
trauma.
Have
the
greatest
need
so
I
look
forward
and
hope
that
all
of
you
will
support.
This
resolution
has
been
presented
by
my
district
six
colleague
from
West
Roxbury
myself.
N
K
K
B
O
You
so
much,
madam
president,
and
also
want
to
just
give
a
shout
out
to
my
colleagues
for
offering
this
resolution.
As
someone
who
has
been
an
education
advocate
so
very
important
that
we
do
all
we
can
to
change
the
funding
formula
to
make
sure
that
we
are
getting
the
resources
that
we
need
for
our
children
here
in
Boston
Public
Schools,
particularly
if
we
are
to
be
successful
in
eliminating
opportunity
and
achievement
gaps.
This
is
critical
to
that
and
so
happy
to
add
my
name
and
offer
my
full
support.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
You
councillor
Janey,
madam
clerk,
if
you
could
add
councillor
Janie's
name,
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
or
add
their
name.
Madam
Clerk,
if
you
could
also
add
councillor
co-moh
councillor
Edwards
councillor,
McCarthy
councillor,
whoo
councillors,
a
come
as
well
as
the
chair
and
councillor
Baker.
At
this
time,
councillors,
O'malley
and
ashabi
George
seek
suspension
of
the
rules
and
adoption
of
docket
0
6
a
to
councillor
Flaherty.
Would
you
like
to
add
your
name,
madam
clerk?
B
H
Before
I
do
I'd
like
to
just
thank
my
dear
colleague
and
friend
from
district
2
for
his
partnership.
I
know
many
of
you
joined
us
at
different
Stop
&
Shop
locations
during
an
11
day
strike
I
met,
spend
some
time
with
some
friends
and
neighbors
and
constituents,
or
at
the
Jamaica
Plain
shop
and
shop
next
to
Mildred
Haley
housing
development.
H
These
are
wonderful
people
who
just
wanted
a
fair
wage.
They
were
at
a
stalemate.
They
were
at
an
impasse
with
the
international
corporation
that
has
made
billions
off
their
hard
work
and
was,
at
that
point
refusing
to
negotiate
in
good
faith.
Luckily,
the
strike
is
over.
It
only
lasted
eleven
days,
unsurprisingly,
I
think.
H
K
Thank
you,
madam
president,
want
to
say
thank
you
to
councillor
O'malley
for
his
leadership
on
this
and
and
to
thank
the
council
councillors
as
well
for
the
leadership
on
so
many
issues
that
impact
working
men
and
women
across
our
city.
When
I
say
thank
you
to
the
to
the
mayor
as
well
for
being
the
strong
supporter
during
this
strike
for
the
workers
got,
stop
and
shop.
I
have
a
stop
and
shop
in
my
neighborhood
in
South
Boston,
and
you
know,
people
think
of
self
Boston
today.
K
They
think
of
all
of
the
luxury
buildings
and
a
lot
of
the
wealthy
people
that
are
living
in
salty
and-
and
that
is
that
is
probably
accurate.
But
we
also
have
a
lot
of
people
that
work
and
stop
and
shop
that
live
in
South
Boston
that
make
make
the
minimum
wage
I
make
just
above
the
minimum
wage
in
a
lot
of
them.
A
woman,
a
lot
of
them
elderly,
low
wage
workers
and
they're
really
struggling,
and
those
are
the
people
that
myself
and
council
of
clarity.
K
But
those
are
the
people
that
we
really
represent,
making
sure
that
our
low
wage
workers,
our
residents
of
South
Boston
and
all
the
neighborhoods
really
across
across
the
city
that
are
struggling
to
pay
bills
to
send
their
kids
to
school,
but
they
deserve.
They
deserve
a
good,
a
good
wage.
They
deserve
health
care
that
shouldn't
be
increased
and
a
pension
plan
that
allows
them
to
retire
with
dignity
and
I
want
to
say.
Thank
you
to
the
to
my
colleagues
for
supporting
the
stop
and
shop
workers.
K
Stop
and
shop
they
had
a
huge
tax
break
from
the
from
the
United
States
of
two
hundred
and
seventeen
million
dollars,
and
they
had
a
they
had
two
billion
dollars
in
profit.
It's
a
European
owned
company,
but
also
we
stood
there
for
our
nurses,
Mass
Nurses
Association.
They
didn't
win
that
that
issue
at
the
recent
election,
but
they
wanted
safe
patient
limits,
which
is
critical.
We
also
have
been
there
for
SEIU
on
various
various
strikes,
as
well
as
standing
up
for
our
people
for
our
residents
that
use
the
MBTA.
K
They
wanted
some
privatization
of
various
services
I
believe
they
were
represented
by
the
Machinists
union,
so
the
the
City
Council
has
always
been
there
in
the
mayor
as
well,
has
always
been
there
for
our
workers
and
our
low-wage
workers,
especially
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
your
great
work
on
issues
that
impact
working
men
and
women
across
our
city.
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
to
councillor
O'malley
as
well.
Thank.
O
B
Thank
You

Janey

Rosie

welcome

docket

Six
eight
three

I'm
informed
by
the
clerk
that
there
are
zero
late
file
matters.
Anyone
looking
to
remove
a
matter
from
the
green
sheets.
Moving
right
along
I
am
informed
by
the
clerk.
If
there
are
too
late
file
matters
which,
in
the
absence
of
objection,
will
be
added
to
today's
consent
agenda.
B
N
Floor,
thank
you
madam
chair
I
would
like
to
let's
see,
I'm
very
excited
to
present.
Today
we
have
a
resolution
in
the
consent
agenda
agenda
I'm,
sharing
that
tomorrow,
April
25th
is
the
first
ever
needle
take-back
day
in
the
City
of
Boston.
As
you
all
know,
I
filed
the
Sharps
ordinance
a
year
and
a
half
ago
to
expand
the
number
of
collection
sites
for
safe
needle
disposal
throughout
the
process
of
developing
that
ordinance
and
the
work
I
continue
to
do
around
that
ordinance.
That
hasn't
been
refiled.
N
I
learned
throughout
that
that
there
are
lots
of
reasons
why
someone
may
use
shops
legally.
Maybe
they
need
it
for
their
pets,
maybe
they
need
it
for
home
medical
treatments
at
diabetes,
chronic
illnesses,
etc,
and,
while
the
mobile
sharps
team,
through
their
work
in
their
outreach
work
through
our
parks
and
through
our
neighborhoods
through
the
kiosks
through
the
paths
program
in
the
needle
take-back
program,
they've
collected
upwards
of
almost
400,000
needles.
N
The
growing
volume
of
youth
shops
creates
an
urgent
need
to
increase
locations
for
safe
and
appropriate
needle
disposal,
especially
when
we
think
about
the
recent
incidents
of
children
being
pricked
and
needles.
In
our
playgrounds,
as
well
as
the
need
to
not
dispose
of
needles
in
household
trash,
it's
it's
important
to
note
that,
although
we
have
ten
permanent
locations
that
offer
safe
needle
disposal
across
our
city,
Boston
lacked
sufficient
collection
sites
to
meet.
The
volume
of
disposal
needs
for
our
sharps
to
prevent
improper
disposal
in
public,
but
to
also
prevent
improper
disposal
in
our
household
trash.
N
We
need
to
grow
this
number
tomorrow
during
this
first-ever
citywide
needle
take
back
day,
I'm
grateful
to
be
partnering
with
the
math
League
of
community
health
centers,
and
to
share
with
you
that
across
our
city,
we
have
almost
20
additional
locations
and
those
are
all
on
our
community-based
health
centers
that
will
be
collecting
needles
from
the
hours
of
10:00
a.m.
to
5:00
a.m.
on
each
of
your
desks.
We've
broken
up
by
district.
The
locations
that
by
district
the
locations
that
we'll
be
collecting
so
I
hope
you'll
go
in.
Take
a
picture.
N
It's
a
great
photo-op,
but
it's
also
a
great
opportunity
to
thank
some
of
the
volunteers
and
the
employees
at
those
community
health
centers
that
are
helping.
We
have
volunteers
from
bu
School
of
Public
Health
activist
lab.
We
also
have
been
supported
in
this
effort
by
the
mayor's
office
of
recovery
services,
as
well
as
the
Boston
Public
Health
Commission,
the
great
concentr
for
addiction,
Boston
Medical
Center,
which
we,
a
few
weeks
ago.
All
of
us
met
through
councillor.
N
Baker
I
have
been
a
huge
partner
in
this
initiative,
as
well
as
Gillette
and
Rhys
mass
who
have
funded
the
the
tools,
the
things
that
we
needed
for
tomorrow,
so
the
proper
buckets
propers
and
proper
training
a
little
bit
of
grant
money
for
the
health
centers
for
their
participation,
but
also
some
of
the
awareness
and
the
promotional
materials
that
we've
used.
I
do
want
to
note.
I've
got
my
my
flyer
here
that
have
that's
been
distributed
to
all
of
our
health
centres.
N
This
was
printed
by
the
students
at
Madison,
Park
and
the
graphics,
the
graphics
department.
They
do
very
low
cost
printing,
and
so,
if
you
need
anything
for
any
events
that
are
coming
up,
please
utilize
the
students
they
do
a
fantastic
job
just
want
to
thank
everyone.
Who's
made
tomorrow,
possible
I'm,
really
excited
about
it.
Tomorrow's
needle
take-back
day
is
not
to
be
confused
with
Saturday's
drug
take-back
day.
There
are
two
great
things
happening
this
week
needle
take
back
day
tomorrow.
N
So
if
you've
got
them
stored
at
home,
you
know
many
of
our
residents
have
them
in
coffee
cans
and
detergent
bottles
at
home,
throwing
them
throwing
them
into
household
waste.
Please
don't
do
that.
Please
take
advantage
of
Thursday
April
25th
needle
take
back
day,
which
we
hope
will
not
just
be
a
one-time
event
that
we'll
be
able
to
replicate
this
many
times
across
our
city
and
eventually
we'll
have
a
permanent
plan
in
place
for
needle
take
back
across
our
city.
Thank
you.
Thank.
O
You,
madam
president,
it
is
with
a
heavy
heart
that
I
share
with
you
today
that
we
have
lost
a
treasure
in
the
Roxbury
community,
known
by
many,
and
possibly
many
of
you,
this
person
in
Roxbury.
This
constituent
was
very
active
and
many
political
campaigns
throughout
the
city
of
Boston
for
a
number
of
years,
very
active
in
his
local
ward,
which
is
my
ward
Ward
12,
is
also
a
family
member.
My
cousin,
my
father's
first
cousin
Dan
Janie,
passed
away
this
morning
and
so
I,
ask
that
you
keep
our
family
in
prayer.
O
I
will
certainly
convey
whenever
we
have
the
information,
so
he
just
died
this
morning
when
we
have,
the
funeral
arrangements
will
certainly
communicate
that
to
all
of
you,
so
that
you
can
support
and
if
you
could
just
include
his
name
in
closing,
as
we
close
out
today's
meeting,
I
didn't
get
word
soon
enough
to
get
it
to
you
in
advance,
but
please
keep
the
Janie
family
in
your
prayer
for
Dan
Janie,
and
particularly
his
children
met
my
cousin,
Sydney
and
and
Ben.
Thank
you,
Thank
You
councillor.
B
B
Thank
you.
The
chair
moves
that
when
the
council
adjourns
today
it
does
so
in
memory
of
those
aforementioned
individuals,
we
are
scheduled
to
meet
again
in
this
chamber
on
Wednesday
May
1st
at
12:00
noon.
On
the
fifth
floor,
all
those
in
favor
of
Germans,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
habit.
The
council
is
adjourned.
