This

and
available

all
councillors.
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
gonna
try
and
keep
most
folks
on
mute.
B
We
will
very
likely
have
the
administration
go
ahead
and
do
their
presentation
and
then,
unless
the
councillors
have
any
burning
questions
due
to
the
fact
that
we
have
a
decent
amount
of
community
folks
in
here,
I
might
also
ask
that
they
speak
as
well.
I
myself
and
councilor
Janey
president
Janey
sponsored
this
hearing
order.
So
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
my
co-sponsor
of
today's
hearing
and
then,
if
any
of
the
councillors
have
opening
remarks,
thank
you
very
much
that
the
docket
numbers
0
4
to
7.
B
This
is
regards
to
the
Boston
residency
job
policy.
It's
a
biannual
meeting.
We
are
required
to
have
by
statute
1
in
April
and
1
in
October.
So
for
those
who
are
interested,
please,
please
feel
free
to
come
in
or
submit
your
testimony
for
now
I'm
turning
it
over
to
the
co-sponsor
of
today's
hearing
and
any
of
my
counselors
who
would
like
to
do
a
very
brief
opening
remark
then
we'll
turn
to
the
administration.
Thank
you
very
much
councillor
Janey.
A
A
But
in
terms
of
the
economic
aspect
of
this
crisis,
and
due
to
the
pause
and
construction,
we're
saying
you
know
many
folks
laid
off
really
interested
in
understanding
how
the
jobs
Bank
was
capturing
those
workers
who
were
being
laid
off.
Certainly
there
are
issues
around
safety
as
we
try
to
slowly
phase
in
and
get
folks
working
again,
but
as
we
think
about
this
economic
recovery
for
me
just
so
that
you
know
where
I
am.
A
It
is
very
important
that
we
prioritize
people
of
color,
women
and
Boston
residents.
I
mean
that's
the
purpose
of
this
by
any
review,
but
I
think
now
more
than
ever,
we
have
to
have
a
strategy
that
is
going
to
lift
up
those
folks
and
make
sure
that
they're
at
the
front
of
the
line
when
this
work
resumes.
We
know
that
you
know
many
of
the
well-paying
jobs
the
this
is
an
issue
of
keeping
food
on
the
table
and
a
roof
over
people's
head.
It's
just
like
that.
It's
it's
that
simple!
So
we
have
to
more.
A
A
Some
of
those
barriers
that
we've
heard
about
in
the
past
and
that
we
are
gonna,
be
laser-like,
focused
on
recovery
and
lifting
up
black
and
brown
folk,
immigrant
folk
women,
Boston
residents
and
again
I'm
grateful
to
partner
with
councillor
Edwards
and
in
my
colleagues,
my
other
colleagues
who
are
on
this
call
and
then
the
advocates
who
work
in
this
face
in
the
administration
and
I'd
like
to
just
get
to
it.
So
thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank.
B
You
very
much
since
we
began
and
we've
also
been
joined
by
my
colleagues
count:
city,
councilor,
at-large,
Michael,
Flaherty,
City,
Council,
at-large,
Anisa,
sabe,
George
and
city
councilor,
at-large
Michelle,
whoo
I'm,
going
to
again
have
already
announced
that
we
are
you.
We
are
also
joined
by
a
counselor
Braden's
counselor,
ed
Flynn,
who
also
joined
us
earlier.
B
Unless
I
see,
am
I
missing
any
other
counselors
and
I?
Will
you
know?
Okay?
So
before
we
go
on
to
the
other
counselors
brief
remarks,
if
they
have
any
opening
remarks
again,
you
can
opt
not
to
I
wanted
to
read
the
letter
from
counselor
Bach
from
district
8,
who
unfortunately
couldn't
make
it
today.
Just
for
the
record.
Dear
chair
out
words,
please
excuse
my
absence
from
today's
hearing
regarding
biannual
review
of
the
Boston
Employment
Commission
and
Boston
residents
jobs
policy.
B
As
my
colleagues
know,
I've
been
teaching
a
class
this
semester
and
the
final
session
is
today
at
the
same
time
as
the
hearing,
the
biannual
review
of
the
Boston
economic
Commission
and
Boston
residents.
Dobbs
policy
is
incredibly
important
to
ensure
that
our
workforce
reflects
the
diversity
within
our
city,
and
this
issue
only
takes
on
greater
importance
as
we
look
to
secure
an
equitable
recovery
from
the
coab
in
nineteen
Karuna
virus.
Public
health.
Emergency
I
will
review
the
tapes
and
will
follow
up
with
any
concerns
or
questions.
Thank
You,
councillor,
Kenzie
wah.
B
H
Thank
You
councillor
Edwards,
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
in
the
leadership
of
council
president
Janie
as
well.
This
is
an
important
issue.
It's
critical
that
we
do
all
we
can
to
make
sure
that
communities
of
color
are
represented
on
the
on
the
job
site,
I'm
also
interested
in
hearing
about
especially
companies
that
intentionally
violate
the
rule.
What
are
the
penalties?
How
will
we
tracking
them
and
what?
What
is
the?
What
is
the
issues
of
them
continuing?
Why
are
they
continuing
to
get
these
contracts
and
these
projects
while
they
continue
to
violate
city
policy?
H
That's
what
I'm
interested
in
hearing
this
is
an
important
issue.
I've
been
studying
and
following
this
issue
for
almost
30
years
in
this
city,
you
know
I
want
to
say
thank
you
especially
to
my
colleagues,
but
also
to
the
advocates
that
have
also
been
working
very
hard
in
this
issue
for
many
many
years,
Thank,
You,
counsel,
Edwards,
Thank,
You
council
president.
Thank.
D
Hi,
yes,
this
is
a
hugely
important
issue,
I
think
jobs
for
Boston
residents.
We
we
contract
out
a
lot
of
work,
and
it's
really
important
that
local
residents
and
in
the
city
of
Boston
get
access
to
this
employment
and
I
look
forward
to
learning
more
about
it.
I'm
just
perusing
the
numbers
here
that
that
were
sent
to
me
and
I
look
forward
to
getting
a
better
understanding
of
how
this
works
and
the
extent
to
which
it's
working
and
how
we
can
improve
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
You
councillor
Braden
and
I
apologize,
it
reverse
the
orders.
It
should
have
been
councillor
Braden
and
then
councillor
Flynn
I
won't
forget
that
in
the
in
the
order
of
questioning
and
in
turn
turning
it
over
now
to
councilor
braid
or
excuse
me
counselor
Flaherty.
If
you
have
any
brief
remarks,
thank.
J
J
In
the
late,
great
Bruce,
bowling
and
I
know
that
colleague,
councilor
at
Flynn's
dad
was
mayor
at
the
time
and
worked
closely
with
with
the
former
council
president
bowling,
as
well
as
when
I
served
the
council
with
councilor
turner
council,
the
Ross
councilor
Pressley.
All
of
us
worked
hired
over
the
years,
and
now
we
have
a
new
council
continuing
to
to
push
this
issue
forward
and
what
I
would
what
I
would
like
to
hear
is
that
we
do
a
census,
particularly
our
labor
force,
our
our
labor
unions,
our
trades.
J
They
really
need
to
do
a
census
within
their
own
membership
to
find
out
and
identify
know
who
their
members
are
in,
how
they
can
internally
make
sure
that
they're
growing
the
ranks
across
the
board
with
folks
who
live
in
the
city,
women
and
people
of
color.
That's
that's
the
basics.
It's
we
can
continue
to
talk
about
requiring
certain
guidelines,
but
if
they're
not
adhering
to
them
and
other
excuses
that
they
don't
have,
they
don't
have
the
bench.
J
If
you
will
there's
not
enough
folks
that
that
that
they
have
in
their
Union
that
could
could
satisfy
the
goals
and
the
objectives
here,
it's
it's
kind
of
a
moot
point.
So
I
really
would
love
to
see
us
once
and
for
all
get
a
full
census
from
all
of
our
trades
and
then,
let's
collectively,
let's
go
to
work
and
identify
ways
that
they
could
reach
out
and
build
the
ranks
in
those
particular
trades
to
help
satisfy
these
jobs.
J
These
jobs
are
do
a
great
jobs,
with
great
benefits,
with
great
health
plans,
great
pensions,
great
annuities
in.
Sadly,
what
we
also
learn
from
the
hearings
over
the
years
is
we'll
have
a
city
resident
that
meets
all
the
criteria
gets.
The
job
starts
to
work
starts
to
make
some
some
real
good
money
and
or
will
will
seek
sort
of
better
educational
opportunities
for
their
children
will
look
be
looking
for
a
parking
spot.
J
We
lose
a
lot
of
our
talent
to
to
the
to
the
suburbs,
and
we
need
to
continue
to
replenish
sort
of
the
stock
if
you
will
over
at
the
trade.
So
that's
a
challenge.
It's
always
been
a
challenge
since
I've
been
involved
with
the
Boston
residence.
You
draw
a
policy,
it's
been,
we
get
it.
We
understand
the
goals
and
objectives.
J
I've
always
said
we
should
pursue
it
because
it's
it's
it's
a
sort
of
critical
of
importance
and
we
should
have
always
challenged
what,
because
it's
the
because
it's
that
important
and
as
a
result
to
which
we
always
fall
back
on
allowing
to
counsel
Flint
when
we
allow
contractors
in
companies
to
kind
of
skirt
it,
because
they
demonstrate
that
they
don't
have
enough
people
from
the
city
or
enough
women
or
people
call
it
on
on
their
membership
roles.
We
need
to
change
that
so
that
that's
not
an
excuse
anymore.
K
Hi
good
afternoon,
everyone
I
am
happy
to
be
a
part
of
this
hearing,
and
here
today
I
think
we
you
know.
Through
this
policy,
we
really
create
opportunity
for
our
city's
residents
and
councillor
Flowery
to
use
the
term
bench
strength.
We
have
the
bench,
it's
in
our
Boston
Public
Schools,
it's
in
our
neighborhoods,
it's
in
our
city
and
we
have
the
resources
in
the
human
capital.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
these
jobs
are
held
by
in
these
work
sites,
and
these
are
economic
opportunities
are
held
by
our
cities.
K
People
and
you
know,
I,
think
that
they
we
certainly
have
the
goals
that
hold
the
current
policy
and
I
really
would
advocate
to
strengthen
it
further.
But
let's
get
to
where
we
need
to
be
today
and
then
do
more.
We
have
the
human
capital,
we
have
the
residents
in
our
city
of
Boston
who
need
to
have
access
to
these
opportunities.
So
that's
the
that's
the
feeling
I
have
about
this
topic
and
as
a
member
of
the
Boston
residency
Commission,
there
is
some
sort
of
overlap
in
relation
between
those
two
topics.
K
So
I
look
forward
to
the
meat
of
this
hearing
and
the
work
ahead
and
I
think
that
we
can
use
this
opportunity.
It's
been
discussed
in
other
earrings
that
we
can
use
this
opportunity
of
everything
more
or
less
being
shut
down
for
planning
to
reopen
and
do
better
and
do
right
again
by
our
city's
residents.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
the
sponsor.
Thank
you
very
much.
L
M
L
L
You
know
that
that
we
honor
today
and
the
leaders
and
fought
for
that,
really
are
at
the
intersection
of
all
three
of
those
centers
of
city
power,
and
we
have
to
get
this
right.
There's
no
excuses,
so
I'm
eager
to
be
on
board
to
support
the
sponsors
and
make
sure
that
we
are
lending
as
many
as
loud
accounts
of
voice
as
possible
to
keep
the
implementation
going
well.
Thank
you.
B
B
G
Awesome.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
the
sponsor
of
this
hearing.
I'm
really
excited
to
join
this
conversation.
I
know
that
Priscilla
Flint
during
her
campaign
was
going
hard
on
the
job,
residency
issue
and,
and
so
I'm
really
happy
to
see
that
we
are
bringing
this
conversation
to
the
forefront.
I.
Think
that
far
too
long
I
feel
like
we
keep
having
the
same
conversation
and
expecting
different
results.
G
G
What
are
we
doing
to
ensure
that
we're
building
the
the
pipeline
from
there
on
to
these
projects
that
are
coming
on
down
and
so
I'm
excited
to
join
and
to
be
a
part
of
the
dialogue
and
to
ask
questions,
but,
more
importantly,
I
want
to
move
the
work
forward
and
I
want
to
know
what
is
it
what's
going
to
take
for
us
to
uphold
ourselves
to
this
residency
requirement
so
that
we
can
move
the
work
forward
for
all
of
us?
Thank
you.
Thank.
N
You,
madam
chair,
just
I'll,
keep
my
comments
brief.
You
know
this.
These
standards
are
incredibly
important
for
us
as
a
city
because
they
ensure
equity
for
folks
who
very
often
in
our
history
and
to
today
continue
to
be
left
out
of
our
economic
prosperity.
These
are
things
that
are
incredibly
important
as
we
look
at
coba
19
and
its
impact
on
specific
communities
when
it
comes
to
women
or
people
of
color.
The
disproportionate
impact
is
clear.
N
It's
always
been
clear
and
so
making
sure
that
we
follow
these
things
and
make
sure
that
these
standards
and
that
our
unions
are
really
doing
the
work
and
our
contractors
are
really
doing
the
work
to
ensure
that
we're
closing
the
gaps
is
incredibly
important,
especially
moving
forward,
and
so
this
is
timely
and
important.
I
think
everybody
for
being
here
to
really
talk
about
this
and
focus
on
these
issues.
So
thank
you
again.
Thank.
B
I
B
Start
that
now
it's
really
I,
don't
I'm
gonna
trust
you
guys
to
decide
who
should
go.
First,
I,
don't
know
if
there's
general
remarks
from
Travis
or
from
Christopher.
If
you
guys
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
I,
don't
know,
there's
an
order
that
you
had
to
follow
it
and
I
do
I
want
to
apologize
to
the
audience
and
also
to
the
participants
from
the
administration.
I.
Don't
have
your
titles
in
front
of
me.
I
do
respect!
B
Obviously
your
hard
work
for
the
city,
so
I'm
gonna,
ask
that
you
present
yourself
with
your
title
and
I
will
use
that
going
forward
and
then
get
an
item.
Me
I
mean
no
disrespect
I
honestly,
for
some
reason
don't
have.
Let
me
see
if
I
have
but
I
you
know
wanted
to
make
sure
that
people
understood.
Oh
no
here
we
go
so
we

Good
afternoon
councillor
council
president
Jamie,
chair,
Edwards
and
councillors,
arroyo
Braden
Tsai,
be
George
clarity,
Flynn,
Mejia
and
Wu.
Thank
you
all
for
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
be
here
today
and
discuss
our
ongoing
work
for
the
Boston
Employment
Commission
and
the
Boston
resident
jobs
policy.
I
Thank
you
also
for
making
holding
the
space
making
sure
that
this
work
continues
and
making
sure
that
we're
still
able
to
meet
and
I
log
together.
We
really
depend
on
your
partnership
to
be
able
to
meet
the
goals
of
this
program,
so
thank
you.
All
I
also
want
to
note.
This
is
our
first
biannual
review
without
councillor
Turner,
who
you
know
his
fingerprints
and
his
legacy
is
all
over
this
work,
so
bringing
him
into
the
room
with
us.
I
I
know
Cal,
so
Janey
brought
him
in
too
so
I
very
much
feel
his
presence
today,
but
also
feel
his
absence,
so
we're
thinking
of
you
chuck
I.
Lastly,
want
to
thank
the
immunity
advocates
who
are
present
today,
who
took
the
time
to
join
us
and
continue
to
keep
us
laser
focused
on
this
work
and
on
your
neighborhoods
and
the
folks
that
you
work
with
for
us
this.
I
You
know
ensuring
that
Boston
residents,
women
and
people
of
color
have
access
to
jobs
in
their
own
City
and
their
own
neighborhoods
has
always
been
a
priority,
but
it
is
much
more
important
than
ever
to
make
sure
that
that
folks
can
get
jobs
once
we
can
resume
work.
So
today,
I
am
joined
by
Chris
Brown,
the
Boston
resident
jobs,
policy
manager
and
he'll
be
sharing
some
data
with
you
shortly
and
I'm,
also
going
by
Travis
Watson,
the
chair
of
the
Boston
Employment
Commission,
so
I
want
to.
I
This
is
just
a
brief
outline
of
what
we're
gonna
be
talking
about.
I
want
to
start
off
with
the
obvious,
which
is
the
impact
of
kovat
19
on
the
construction
industry
and
on
the
be
rjp
program
in
particular.
We
all
know
that
I
don't
even
need
to
show
you
a
map,
you're
gonna
know
which
neighborhoods
and
communities
have
been
most
impacted
by
this
virus,
and
it
also
there's
a
direct
overlap
between
the
residents
that
have
been
most
impacted
in
terms
of
health,
as
well
as
economic
impact.
I
B
B
I
Thank
You
Neil
Thank
You
Neil,
so
this
shows
you
the
penetration
of
the
construction
industry
across
the
City
of
Boston,
so
this
was
put
together
by
the
BPD.
A
it
just
shows
the
areas
where
construction
makes
where
at
which
neighborhoods
have
a
great
the
greater
share
of
construction
workers
throughout
Boston,
and
then
you
can
see
by
district
what
percentage
of
the
workforce
for
the
for
each
city.
Council
district
is
in
construction
versus
other
industries,
so
this
this
doesn't
really
have
any
kovat
overlay.
I
This
is
just
just
basic
census
data
that
shows
you
know
that
there's
obviously
construction
workers
throughout
our
city
and
some
of
the
areas
where
they,
where
construction,
makes
up
a
larger
portion
of
the
local
economy.
But
we
know
it's
a
vital
industry
for
the
city
overall,
in
terms
of
we
know
that
construction
was
one
of
the
earliest
industries
to
to
be
affected.
I
You
know
mayor
Walsh,
as
of
March
17th
temporarily
suspended
non-essential
construction
projects,
and
that
has
since
been
extended,
and
then
this
just
gives
you
a
snapshot
of
the
percentage
of
unemployment
claims
that
have
been
made,
and
this
is
a
statewide
number
so
about
30
percent
of
construction
workers
in
the
state
of
Massachusetts
have
submitted
claims
for
unemployment.
Insurance
I
want
to
point
out,
as
you
all
know,
because
everyone
in
this
meeting
is
so
close
to
the
community.
That
think
that's
a
severe
under
count
of
those
that
have
been
impacted.
I
We
have
heard
from
construction
workers
the
difficulty
they've
had
in
getting
through
to
file
their
claims
and
have
also
heard
more
disturbingly
that
they're
they're
only
going
to
be
covered
from
the
moment
that
they're
able
to
get
through.
So
if
they've
been
spending
weeks,
trying
to
get
through
I'm
still
trying
to
confirm
that.
But
you
know
this
is
an
undercount
and
at
an
undercount
this
is
still
a
really
significant
impact.
So.
I
I
Here
you'll
see
some
of
the
projects
that
do
remain
active
are
in
the
areas
of
roadwork
city
building
maintenance
residential
has
been
a
priority,
especially
if
it
projects
that
are
to
house
vulnerable
communities.
Those
were
the
beginning
part
of
the
essential
projects.
So
some
of
those
have
continued,
and
then
you
know
there's
some.
I
It's
actually
pretty
elaborate.
The
work
that
people
have
to
do.
The
other
challenge
that
we're
seeing
is
that
different
municipalities
are
requiring
different
types
of
safety
plans,
and
the
state
also
requires
a
safety
plan.
So
we're
going
to
help
people
navigate
that
process
and
get
ready
to
get
their
projects
back
online
once
the
suspension
is
lifted.
I
So
as
of
April
17th,
the
state
has
approved
for
this
class
to
be
taught
online,
so
we
are
offering
a
new
four-week
session
starting
May
7
for
2525
folks,
there's
25
spots,
there's
still
some
available.
If
you
know
of
anyone,
that's
interested
and
this
time
around,
we
were
able
to
secure
a
few
sets
of
books.
I
know
we
discussed
that
last
time.
I
know
councillor
Flynn
and
a
few
of
the
councillors
here.
I
We're
really
interested
in
making
sure
that
we
could
provide
scholarships
for
the
books,
so
we're
making
about
half
of
the
slots
have
the
ability
to
obtain
a
free
set
of
books
when
I
say
set
of
books.
It's
like
five.
You
know
phone
book
size
books,
it's
quite
a
lot
of
material
and
they'll
be
able
to
keep
those
because
you
need
to
refer
to
them
during
the
exam
and
then
as
you're
exercising
your
job
function.
So
the
thought.
I
Obviously,
this
isn't
a
direct
kovat
related
class,
but
we
think,
as
people
are
out
of
work,
it's
an
excellent
opportunity
for
them
to
level
up
and
gain
a
new
set
of
skills,
and
so
we're
hoping
to
do
it
with
OSHA
as
well.
But
the
state
still
has
not
granted
the
authorization
to
cheat
to
teach
the
OSHA
10
online,
but
as
soon
as
they
they
give.
The
green
light
will
be
offering
as
many
courses
as
possible,
so
people
can
gain
new
skills
while
they're
not
able
to
work
on
their
sites.
P
All
right,
okay,
first
I,
want
to
give
my
respects
to
mr.
Chuck
Turner
I've
been
working
here.
A
long
time
and
Chuck
has
really
was
really
had
a
real
impact
in
the
community.
Creating
opportunities
for
individuals,
I,
really
appreciated
working
with
mr.
Turner
and
I
worked
for
alert
a
lot
from
him
and
he
will
be
missed.
P
Okay,
as
far
as
the
project
breakdown
breakdown
of
the
projects
are
concerned
with,
within
the
last
six
months
since
the
last
I'm
hearing
that
we
had
we've
had
137
total
projects,
active
37
of
those
projects,
private
projects
and
a
hundred
of
those
projects
of
what
city
projects
public
facilities
Department.
We
had
33
Parks
and
Recreation
9
Public
Works,
33,
Neighborhood,
Development
25.
P
Downtown
Boston
had
the
most
and
35
projects
and
most
of
the
profits
that
a
downtown
projects
are
the
skyscrapers,
the
private
projects
in
Dorchester.
We
have
15
projects.
Looking
at
Roxbury,
we
had
17
and
if
you
look
down
at
the
bottom
that
says
various
locations
21
projects,
most
of
those
projects
are
well
pretty
much.
All
of
them
are
like
the
public
works
project,
so
you
might
have
a
project.
P
P
Neighborhood
development
is
usually
the
ron
department
with
the
most
most
of
ours.
They
tend
to
have
the
residential
projects
that
you
see
in
you
know
primarily
Roxbury
and
Dorchester,
so
they're
coming
in
that
four
hundred
seventy
two
thousand
hours,
33
percent,
foster
rather
at
62%
people
of
color
soccer,
said
women.
P
This
line
Department
has
typically
performed
better
than
all
of
the
other,
and
you
can
look
at
the
hours
and
see
how
few
hours
they're
just
a
lot
more
hours
than
the
other
departments
parks
department.
That's
renovations
of
you,
know:
city
parks,
it's
usually
a
small
department.
We
have
15,000
hours,
you
see
18%
resident
30%
people
of
color
5%
female
public
facilities.
They
really
this
department
deals
with
primarily
city
buildings,
libraries,
etc,
$76,000
23%
resident
41%,
people's
call.
Our
eight
percent
female
and
I
had
two
public
works.
P
I
Thank
you
so
much
Chris
I
want
to
recognize
too
that
Chris
has
worked
tirelessly
to
stay
on
top
of.
What's
going
on
out
there
in
terms
of
the
B
rjb
projects
and
being
able
to
pull
this
data
was
a
labor
of
love
with
you
know,
challenges
accessing
the
database,
and
you
know
our
home.
Computers
are
not
the
same
as
our
work
computer,
so
you
know
he
just
has
been
working
really
hard
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
information
that
we
need
so
that
you
all
could
could
have
this
today.
I
So
thank
you,
Chris
for
getting
that
information
to
us.
I
wanted
to
update
you
on
the
B
rjp
Salesforce
platform.
Just
as
a
reminder,
the
platform
is
a
way
to
move
towards
off
of
an
Access
database
to
a
modern
cloud-based
system
that
provides
real-time
data
for
a
br
JP
and,
as
you
know,
we
we
monitor
these
these
projects
in
collaboration
with
the
BP
da.
I
So,
since
we
last
met,
we
have
conducted
trainings
for
over
350
contractors.
We
have
four
projects
actively
on
the
Salesforce
system.
You
can
see
those
in
the
table
to
the
right.
We
created
a
Salesforce
sanction
and
invoicing
process
with
auditing
the
Office
of
Budget
and
Management,
and
legal
and
Treasury
the
law
Department
of
Treasury.
We
created
an
automated
BR
JP
document
library
on
Salesforce,
and
we
permit
premier
Salesforce
at
the
Boston
Employment
Commission
meeting
in
February.
That
was
the
first
time
that
we
we
did
an
all
Salesforce,
Boston
Employment,
Commission
hearing.
I
Just
so
people
could
see
you
know
the
difference
and
how
the
data
will
be
presented
and
what
data
are
available.
That
coincided
nicely
with
room
801
and
City
Hall
having
you
know,
television
screens
and
so
we're
hoping
to
provide
an
enhanced
experience
for
in
terms
of
reporting.
For
both
you
know
the
the
community
and
for
the
contractors
involved.
I
We
did
have
planned
an
in-person
training
for
the
bet,
commissioners
in
March,
which
we
had
to
postpone
and
our
full
transition
of
new
ordinance
projects
to
Salesforce,
which
our
goal
was
to
have
everything
on
there.
By
the
time
we
saw
you
again,
we
have
met
some
challenges
with
getting
projects
on
and
the
the
biggest
challenge
we
face
has
actually
been
in
terms
of
reporting
and
so
being
able
to
pull
the
reports
that
we're
used
to
pulling
from
an
Access
database.
I
It's
just
not
working
as
seamlessly
as
we
had
anticipated
and,
unfortunately,
the
reports
are
the
backbone
of
the
system.
Without
the
reports,
it's
great
if
we're
able
to
submit
the
payrolls,
but
if
we
can't
pull
the
information
out,
it's
really
a
challenge
both
on
our
end
and
for
the
contractors
and
the
bright
side
of
that
has
been
that
we
realized
how
much
developers
and
general
contractors
do
depend
on
the
reports,
because,
as
we
were
encountering
glitches,
we
were
getting
very
high
level
phone
call
saying
we
need
our
stat
report.
I
But
unfortunately,
we
weren't
able
to
proceed
with
getting
everything
on
without
having
the
certainty
that
we'd
be
able
to
pull
the
information
out,
and
we
made
a
request
to
hire
a
Salesforce
contractor
to
help
us
get
those
reports
more
automated
and
make
sure
that
we
could
provide
real-time,
real-time
tech
support
for
folks
getting
onto
the
system
and
if,
in
just
give
me
one
minute
to
explain
sort
of
how
it
bring
you
into
the
weeds
for
a
little
bit,
but
the
way
that
it
works.
So
wait.
I
You
still
work
as
a
general
contractor
would
send
us
a
series
of
spreadsheets
that
had
payroll
information
every
week.
This
is
just
for
payroll.
This
is
just
one
of
many
things
they
would
submit,
so
they
would
submit,
depending
on
the
project,
dozens
of
payrolls
for
them
and
all
their
subs
and
then
on
our
end,
those
would
be
entered
into
those
would
be
manually
entered
into
a
system.
The
innovation
of
Salesforce
is
that
now
the
general
contractors
create
those
timesheets
so
picture
an
exact
spread.
I
You
know
the
similar
Excel
spreadsheet
they
created
on
there
and
for
themselves
and
for
the
subcontractors,
and
then
the
subcontractors
are
just
populating
it
every
week
into
a
form,
that's
been
established
for
them,
but
now
it
puts
a
new
area
of
work
on
a
general
contractor
that
they
were
not.
You
know
they
need
to
be
trained
on.
So
that's
why
we
kind
of
need
an
in-house
person
that
can
provide
them
that
tech
support
on
both
creating
timesheets,
getting
subs
into
the
system,
showing
them
how
to
use
it
and
being
able
to
pull
the
reports
out.
I
So
that
was
that
was
a
challenge
that
we
weren't
anticipating,
but
that
we're
managing
around,
and
so
that's
why
we've
continued
to
do
pilot
projects
to
continue
learning.
We
are
in
the
process
we
put
out
a
request
for
quotes
or
a
written
quote
request
it
encodes
contract
for
it
and
quote
contract
for
Salesforce
contractor.
We
hope
that
person
can
help
get
us
through
the
rest
of
this
fiscal
year
and
then
in
the
fiscal
year
21
budget,
the
administration
has
recommended
an
full
time.
Salesforce
position
for
economic
development,
we're
hoping
the
council
will
support
that
request.
I
That
will
definitely
help
us
manage
this
system.
So
those
are
two.
You
know
two
investments
that
the
administration
is
requesting.
That
I
think
will
make
a
really
big
difference.
In
that
way,
we
can
continue
to
train
general
contractors,
subcontractors
well
onboarding
projects
onto
Salesforce.
We
are
hoping
that,
given
the
stoppage
of
work
in
a
lot
of
sites
right
now,
this
is
a
perfect
time
to
actually
transition
projects
on,
because
there's,
if
there's
a
lag
in
reporting,
it's
not
going
to
affect
them
since
they're,
something
they're
not
needing
it.
I
I
We've
heard
of
a
couple
of
people
that
have
been
furloughed
and
so
I
know
that
it's
a
really
difficult
time
for
the
construction
companies
right
now
and
so
we're
trying
to
you
know,
set
up
a
system
that'll
be
easy
for
them
to
jump
into
and
and
train
folks
up
on.
So
that
is
the
update
for
a
br
JP
sales
force
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Travis
Watson,
the
chair
of
the
Boston
Employment
Commission,
for
an
update
from
the
BEC.
O
Good
afternoon
counselor,
so
it's
always
an
honor
to
speak
at
these
hearings,
like
many
others,
my
wife
and
I
are
currently
working
from
home,
while
attempting
to
watch
and
educate
two
children
under
five
years
old
with
us
at
Iowa,
unfortunately
has
to
sign
off
in
about
an
hour,
so
it
may
be
interrupted.
What's
crying
screaming
or
a
request
to
play
frozen
or
blocks
with.
My
son
I've
had
the
honor
to
speak
before
the
council
to
buying
the
real
reviews
of
the
Boston
Employment
Commission
and
Boston
residents.
O
However,
before
I
dig
in
I'd
like
to
take
a
moment
and
address
a
coronavirus,
the
other
day
I
was
attending
a
zoom
meeting
during
introductions
were
all
asked
for
our
names
organizations
and
how
we're
doing
it's
hard
to
tell
sometimes.
But
I
can
be
a
man,
a
few
words
at
the
setting
permits.
So
I
said
Travis
and
hick
and
hanging
in
there.
This
was
followed
by
about
12
of
my
colleagues
one-upping
each
other
about
their
accomplishments.
During
this
difficult
time,
I
swear
by
the
time
I
got
to
the
12th
person
day.
O
It
single-handedly
found
a
way
to
get
to
Mars
in
under
24
hours,
while
simultaneously
teaching
both
their
kids
calculus
all
while
staying
at
home.
If
everyone
is
doing
this
well
right
now,
then
please
send
me
your
secrets,
at
the
risk
of
sounding
a
bit
preachy
I'd
like
to
recognize
that
it's
also
okay,
to
not
be
okay
right
now,
yeah
I,
don't
think
I
hear
this
enough.
O
I'm,
fine,
really,
but
I
have
my
fair
share
of
tough
days
days
that
it
takes
more
effort
to
get
my
work
out
in
more
effort
to
be
super
engaged,
with
my
work,
more
effort
to
feel
like
myself,
I'm
fortunate
enough
to
have
a
wonderful
wife
and
you
great
kids,
to
help
turn
these
tougher
days
around
I
got
to
see
my
son's
first
steps
just
as
fast
Tuesday,
but
many
of
our
neighbors
are
in
different
situations.
Call
them
check
up
on
them
at
a
safe
distance
while
wearing
a
mask.
O
If
you
aren't
feeling
okay
call
someone
for
help.
The
city's
Department
of
Public,
Health
and
folks,
like
the
Good
Samaritans,
are
there
to
help.
There's
a
military,
saying
and
I
believe
it's
from
the
Marines,
but
please
pardon
me
if
I'm
incorrect,
it
goes
embrace
the
suck.
In
other
words,
the
situation
is
terrible
but
deal
with
it.
In
no
way
am
I
comparing
what
we're
going
through
today
with
what
our
soldiers
deal
with.
O
However,
like
so
many
of
you,
I'm
embracing
the
suck
right
now,
but
please
remember:
it's:
okay,
be
okay,
Rochelle
to
reach
out
to
others,
and
please
take
care
of
yourself.
Okay,
now
for
a
super
awkward
transition
to
discuss,
wilds
call
before
you
today,
the
Boston
residents,
jobs
policy
and
its
enforcement
regarding
the
policy
itself
in
immediate
ways
that
we
can
all
help.
Please
consider
supporting
programs
like
you
put
Boston
and
building
pathways.
The
time
is
of
the
essence
for
these
programs
right
now.
It's
well
known
that
the
trades
have
a
pipeline
problem.
O
We
don't
help
make
sure
that
young
residents,
people
of
color
and
women
are
properly
trained.
They
will
have
many
of
the
same
challenges
meeting
the
goals
there
be
rjp
tomorrow
that
we're
experiencing
today.
These
programs
are
crucial
to
an
equitable
construction
future
and
I
can't
stress
that
enough.
O
There
are
a
lot
of
efforts
underway
that
are
working
to
create
a
more
equitable
and
inclusive
construction
industry
too
many
to
name
without
leaving
key
initiatives.
Oh
the
ability
to
sanction
projects,
not
in
compliance
with
the
VA
rjp,
will
also
help
in
these
efforts
and
we're
getting
there
with
the
rollout
of
sale
force.
However,
there
is
one
tried-and-true
method
that
consistently
ensures
that
a
project
maximizes
levels
to
participation
from
residents,
people
of
color
women
and
bees
and
WB's
that
selecting
the
right
general
contractor.
O
In
this
case
the
right
means
affirm
the
strong
track
record
of
diverse
work
sites.
The
inherent
challenge
with
this
approach
is
electric
general
contractors
who
consistently
deliver
on
diversity.
So
what
can
we
do?
First
identify
general
contractors
that
continuously
employ
residents,
people,
color
women
and
bees
and
WB's
at
high
levels.
Second
begin
to
develop
a
detailed
how-to
of
best
practices
that
these
contractors
are
utilizing
to
share
with
others.
Yes,
there
is
plenty
of
construction
best
practice
documents
floating
around.
O
However,
unlike
the
ones
I've
seen,
I
visioned,
this
version
being
a
bit
more
collaborative
in
nature,
rather
than
one
group
or
single
GC,
letting
the
world
know
how
to
get
things
done.
This
would
take
a
couple
of
things
that
say:
crews
construction
did
well
on
project.
Eight
built
right
did
on
B
and
so
on.
I
think
that
pulling
from
a
wide
range
of
contractors
and
experiences
will
lead
to
a
more
vibrant
product
that
the
industry
embraces
before
I
continue.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
is
on
the
same
page
context
wise.
O
The
team
briefly
went
over
the
stats,
but
just
I
want
to
refocus
for
folks
here
between
2017
and
2019
projects,
kind
of
covered
under
the
BR
JP
average
28%
residents,
25%
people
of
color
and
6%
women.
Well,
the
city
doesn't
have
goals
associated
with
em
B&W
participation.
Overall,
we
saw
about
one
to
three
percent
and
B&W
participation.
Okay,.
B
O
B
O
Identifying
general
contractor's
have
consistently
employee
residents,
people
of
color
women
and
B
using
W
visa
I
levels,
the
first
two
that
deserve
our
attention:
our
crews,
construction
and
bill
right
construction.
It's
not
that
crews
have
built
right,
only
understand
the
complexities
of
employing
a
diverse
workforce
in
team.
They
have
also
developed
some
of
the
best
proven
practices
in
the
city
for
achieving
high
levels
of
participation
from
these
groups.
What
I'm
about
to
compare
is
an
apples,
apples
but
I
think
it's
a
worthwhile
comparison.
O
I'm
now
gonna
go
back
to
the
average
levels
of
participation
in
the
city
that
I
referenced
earlier.
Only
this
time,
comparing
them
with
what
we
typically
see
on
a
cruise
and
bill
right
project
again
be
rjp
average
28%
residents,
25%
people
call
our
six
percent
women
and
one
two
three
person
MB,
but
it's
typical
to
see
cruise
projects
with
around
60%
residents,
79
percent
people
of
color
and
75
percent
MBE
they're
Camden
Lennox
project,
for
example,
is
ninety-four
percent
complete
and
it
has
achieved
94%,
mwb
utilization
and
right
there
with
them,
is
Bill
Wright
who's.
O
Typically,
around
58
percent
people
of
color
40
percent
MB
and
8
percent
WB.
So
what
does
this
all
tell
us
first-
and
this
is
a
relatively
obvious,
but
both
crews
and
built
right
know
some
things
that
others
don't
and
care
genuinely
about
equity
and
inclusion.
Second,
it
clearly
shows
that
other
contractors
either
don't
know
how
to
recruit
and
retain
a
diverse
team
or,
quite
frankly,
don't
care
to
have
one.
If
it's
the
former,
then
the
best
practices
manual
sorts
will
be
useful.
It
was
the
latter.
Well
I.
O
Don't
think
companies
like
that
that
don't
embrace
that
be
rjp
and
the
city's
equity
and
inclusion
agenda
should
have
the
privilege
to
work
in
a
beautiful
city
so
to
the
crews
and
build
right
teams.
Well,
thank
you
for
everything
you're
doing
to
create
access
an
opportunity,
those
who
have
typically
been
on
a
welcome
in
the
trades,
and
that
leads
us
to
my
second
beginning,
to
develop
a
detailed
how-to
of
best
practices.
O
That
contractors
are
utilizing
that
others
can
replicate
I
plan
to
start
working
more
closely
with
companies
like
Cruise
and
built
right
construction
to
better
understand
their
strategies
and
determine
what's
replicable.
Others
doing
similar
notable
noteworthy
work
to
consider
our
one
away:
development,
John,
Moriarty
and
Suffolk,
just
to
name
a
few.
Each
of
these
firms
brings
unique
skill
sets
and
strategies
for
increasing
diversity
in
the
trades.
These
firms
are
only
executing
in
a
couple
of
categories.
It's
worth
a
look
in
the
end.
O
O
Lastly,
and
I'll
be
quick:
Here
I
am
hopeful
that
we
can
get
to
a
place
with
Salesforce
that
will
allow
the
city's
procurement
teams
to
more
easily
see
how
contractors
that
are
that
they're
considering
to
employ,
have
fared
with
the
BR
JP,
and
that
this
information
is
weighted
heavily
in
the
wording
of
contracts,
while
sappy
eras
have
most
likely
going
past.
My
a
lot
of
time,
thank
you
again
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today,
I'm
open
to
your
comments
and
questions
and
look
forward
to
working
on
these
issues
together,
stay
safe
and
be
well.
B
B
Think
what
we're
going
to
try
and
do
is
make
your
you
know
just
if
we
can
all
just
go
through
our
questions
and
then
see
if
the
administration
can
have
a
response
to
them,
but
I
mean
move
it
as
fast
as
possible,
because
there
are
many
people
who
are
waiting
to
actually
ask
directly
to
the
administration
who
are
part
of
the
advocates
community.
It's
also
okay
to
waive
those
questions.
So
what
I
will?
What
I
will
likely
do
is
take
up
two
or
three
City
Council
I
would
have
you
asked
your
questions?
B
Your
your
presentations
have
actually
improved,
since
this
is
the
third
time
we've
had
ADIZ
hearings
since
I
believe
councillor,
Janie
and
I've
been
here
and
we've
been
calling
them
since
we've
been
here,
and
so
this
is
the
third
time
your
presentations
are
much
better,
not
to
say
that
they
were
bad
before,
but
I
mean
the
efficiency,
how
you're
getting
to
it.
You're
responding
to
our
questions
about
data
that
we
asked
for
Thank
You.
Mr.
Brown,
it
was
very,
very
clear
down
to
the
project.
B
The
spreadsheet
was
very
good,
so
I
will
say
that
I
am
encouraged
to
see
the
number
of
people
of
color
increase,
especially
when
looking
at
the
new
projects
from
the
city
I
will
echo
my
what
Travis
just
said.
That's
picking
the
right
general
contractors
is
probably
the
most
powerful
decision
the
city
can
make,
and
so
we're
not
looking
at
data.
That
demonstrates
whether
they
actually
have
a
track
record
of
being
the
right
ones.
Then
we
really
need
to
stop
picking
the
wrong
ones.
B
I
believe
great
models
are
important,
but
like
really
punishing
or
excluding
folks
for
not
doing
right
by
us
is
even
is
vital
to
this
and
I
think
that
that's
important
I
would
I'm
very
happy
to
see
the
CSL
and
the
pipeline
commitment
continue
to
grow.
Thank
you
so
much
to
spike.
Oh
babe,
you
turned
around
and
still
are
trying
to
create
a
pipeline
of
contractors.
That's
what
the
CSL
is.
B
Contractors
supervisor
license
I'm
happy
to
see
that
it's
May
7,
so
please
send
that
to
all
the
city
Unser's
or
have
neil
send
that
to
us,
so
we
can
put
it
out
to
our
folks
if
there's
still
some
spots,
I
I'm
hopeful
that
you
do
another
class
several
classes.
Actually,
if
you're
allowed
to
do
it
online,
why
not
increase
that
pipeline
and
get
more
people
you're
having
classes
of
25
I'd
love
to
see
by
the
end
of
coab?
B
If
it's
just
you
know,
four
weeks
that
we
don't
have,
you
know
75
new
DSL,
at
least
people
taking
this
course
so
I
would
love
to
see
that
repeated
and
what
I
have
concealed
also
consistently
is,
despite
the
huge
numbers,
the
great
advancement
and
the
big
push
from
model
contractors,
crews,
construction
bill
right.
There
seems
to
be
still
an
issue
with
women.
B
I
mean
I,
heard
people
of
color
I
heard
you
know
above
average
Boston
residents,
but
then
then
M
bees
or
W
bees
were
part
of
this,
and
I
am
not
seeing
women
on
the
job.
The
numbers
are
consistent,
at
least
what
I
see
they're
not
going
down,
but
they
have
not
increased
as
much
as
I'd
like
to
see
in
12%
by
the
way
for
everyone's
education,
the
profs
and
jobs
policy
requires
51%,
I,
believe
Boston
residents,
40%
people
of
color
12%
women.
B
So
that's
the
the
the
the
rubric
for
which
we
are
looking
at
these
numbers
and
I
apologize.
If
we
didn't
make
that
clear
up
front
to
folks
when
we
were
looking
at
all
the
statistics,
so
we're
the
people
of
color
40%
are
above
we're
doing
a
great
job,
but
when
women
are
at
five
seven
and
below,
we
are
not
because
it
should
be
at
12.
So
those
are
my
comments.
I'm
going
to
move
to
the
co-chair.
B
A
Thank
you
so
much
madam
chair
and
I
will
be
brief.
I
do
have
a
lot
of
questions.
I
also
want
to
hear
for
the
Advocate
from
the
advocates.
I
have
the
pleasure
of
working
with
many
of
them
in
my
district
with
district
7
I'm
gonna
run
through
this
as
fast
as
I
can
I'm
interested
in
understanding
how
many
workers,
construction
workers
have
lost
their
jobs
and
I'm
talking
about
Boston
I
know
there
was
a
slide
that
Selena
presented
on
the
Colvin
impact.
It
talked
a
lot
about
Massachusetts
I
know,
there's
an
undercut
count.
A
I
would
really
like
to
understand
Boston
how
many
of
them
are
you
if
we
have
a
breakdown?
How
many
of
them
are
union
workers,
people
of
color,
females
and
Boston
residents?
What
the
jobs
Bank
has
been
doing
since
the
pandemic,
to
really
bring
people
in
and
help
make
sure
that
they're
able
to
enter
the
front
of
the
line
moving
forward
want
to
understand
when
these
large
construction
sites
will
open
what
the
timing
and
thinking
is
of
the
phased
in.
A
Obviously,
the
safety
protocols
for
when
people
are
getting
back
to
work,
but
really
again
how
we
are
going
to
prioritize
those
folks
who
have
been
left
behind
in
marginalized
who
every
hearing
this
is
our
third
hearing
that
we've
had
as
counselors
are
the
ones
who
are
not
getting
into
these
jobs.
I
would
like
to
understand
how
the
city
is
working
with
unions
and
construction
companies
to
make
sure
that
we
are
living
up
to
these
goals
and
whether
or
not
you
feel
like
the
staff
capacity
is
there
to
work
as
closely
as
you
think.
A
You
would
need
to
to
make
sure
that
we're
making
a
difference
here
and
and
I
say
staff
capacity
I
mean
beyond
compliance,
but
you
know
around
like
these
programs
and
in
these
trainings
what
efforts
are
underway
to
develop
safety
protocols.
I
mentioned
that
for
for
construction
jobs
that
have
gotten
exemptions
and
are
still
up
and
running,
I
want
to
understand
whether
or
not
they're
complying
and
if
they're
not.
Why
aren't
we
kind
of
coming
hard
with
the
hammer?
A
I
saw
a
slide
in
the
presentation
that
highlighted
I
think
it
was
parks
at
30%
people
of
color
Public
Works
at
38%.
People
of
color
I
have
little
tolerance
for
the
City
of
Boston,
not
living
up
to
its
own
goals,
and
so
that
is
completely
unacceptable
to
me,
and
so
I
would
like
to
see
better
numbers.
There
I'd
like
to
understand
why
that
is
and
what
we're
doing
differently
to
get
those
numbers
up
and
madam
chair
feel
free
to
give
me
a
pin.
A
I've
got
a
few
more
number,
a
few
more
questions
that
I'll
move
through
quickly
salesforce,
I
I
won't
repeat-
I'm
obviously
have
some
questions
about
that.
I
won't
go
into
that.
I'm
gonna
skip
down
the
jobs
bank,
I'm
interested
in
the
position
what's
happening,
how
long
has
it
been
vacant
and
and
even
when
it
was
filled?
My
understanding
is
that
there
were
lots
of
gaps.
I
I
want
to
get
understand
about
the
applicants
in
the
jobs
bank
database.
How
we're
gonna
clean
that
up.
A
A
Think
I
mentioned
in
my
opening.
My
frustration
our
chair
has
mentioned.
This
is
our
third
go-round
and
I'm
frustrated
because
I,
you
know,
I
hear
some
of
the
same
things.
I
hear
about
30
B
I
hear
about
slow
sub
file
bids
and
what
I
don't
hear
is.
If
that
is
the
challenge
of
the
barrier,
then
what
are
we
going
to
do
to
eliminate
it?
Do
we
need
a
bill
at
the
Statehouse?
If
so,
let's
get
it
filed?
A
If
we
need
an
ordinance
at
the
city
level,
let's
do
it,
but
the
frustration
to
chairman
Watson's
point
is:
if
folks
are
not
going
to
hear
to
this,
they
don't
deserve
to
work
in
our
city
and
madam
chair,
I'm,
gonna
rest
there
and
save
the
rest
of
my
comments
for
the
next
round.
I'm
anxious
to
hear
from
my
colleagues
and
the
advocates
as
well.
Thank
you
so
much
thank.
B
D
Thank
you
very
much.
It
seems
like
it's
good
to
remind
us
of
the
actual
targets:
51%
Boston
residents,
forty
percent
people
of
color
and
twelve
percent
women.
We
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
in
that
area,
especially
in
the
area
of
women.
My
particular
question
is
about
how
we
develop
a
pipeline.
That
also
applies
to
you
know.
Apprentices
in
all
of
the
different
trades
who
work
in
must
be
Boston
residents
represented
yeah,
the
same
percentage
of
people
of
color
and
women.
D
B
Thank
you
very
much,
councillor
Brayden
for
being
Greed's.
The
administration
can
respond,
and
maybe
the
next
two
three
to
five
minutes,
but
no
more
than
that,
because
I
want
to
allow
for
councillor
Flynn
counsel,
flurry
and
then
councillor
sabi
George,
to
do
their
quick
questions.
I
I
We
had,
and
I'm
sure
Travis
remembers
is
that
there
was
a
parks
project
that
came
up
to
build
our
forget
which
neighborhood
it
was
in
and
the
numbers
were
awful,
but
it
was
like
only
two
people
responded
that
had
the
capability
to
build
the
ramps,
and
you
know
you
get
into
all
this
nitty-gritty
detail
of
when
they're
saying
we're
not
getting
the
bid.
So
we
can't
pick
anyone
different
because
we
got
one
bid
and
or
this
one
was
the
lowest
or
you
know.
I
I
Are
there
different
ways
we
can
support
their
outreach,
so
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
work
with
the
project,
managers
and
folks
making
procurement
decisions
on
the
city
side
and
that's
part
of
our
broader
agenda
as
it
relates
to
outside
of
be
rjp,
but
but
MBE
and
WBE
s
as
well.
We
are
in
terms
of
staffing
we
are
now
hiring
for.
I
We
did
have
a
construction
monitor
that
you
are
veterans,
probably
know
Claudette,
Austin
retired
in
the
first
week
of
April,
and
so
we
will
also
be
posting
a
new
position
for
construction
monitor,
and
so
she
did
a
lot
of
work
really
from
day
one
of
this
ordinance
and
and
program,
and
so
big
shoes
to
fill.
But
we
will
be
rehiring.
So
there
are
two
openings
that
will
greatly
augment
our
capacity
and
I
think
there
is
some
interest,
especially
with
the
the
trades
with
the
unions
on
working
on
pipeline
development
and
doing
special
out.
I
You
know,
outreach
and
and
other
programs
together
to
try
to
diversify
their
workforce
and
I
know.
There's
two
counselor
Braden's
questions,
because
the
pipeline
is
so
vital.
We
know.
Building
pathways
is
an
incredible
program
and
there
are
other
programs
that
are
focusing
on
women
in
the
trades
and
working
with
Madison
Park.
So
there's
a
there's.
A
lot
of
efforts
out
there
I
think
jobs.
I
Bank
coordinator
is
someone
that
could
really
be
working
very
proactively
with
pipeline
development,
both
for
our
jobs
Bank,
but
for
in
general,
for
the
unions
as
well,
and
that's
part
of
our
vision
for
this
position,
so
we're
hoping
to
have
more
capacity
on
that
end.
I
don't
want
to
go
too
far
past
my
couple
minutes
but
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
more
questions
so.
B
While
you're
answering,
could
you
just
I
know
that
councillor
Janie
and
I
both
brought
up
the
sanctioning
component
of
self
course
I
brought
up
women
I
appreciate
your
response
on
the
pipeline,
but
there
are
some
also
specifics
about
the
exempt
contractors
if
they're
still
getting
work.
So
those
are
some
specifics
as
well.
That
I
don't
know.
If
you
have
some
responses
to
right
now,
yeah.
I
I
Our
ability
to
sanction
is
not
on
the
workforce
participation,
but
it
is
on
the
reporting
that
the
general
contractors
are
doing,
and
so
I
think
that
next
time,
I
really
also
want
to
share
with
you
how
that's
going
like
who
does
a
good
job
in
terms
of
reporting
and
who
doesn't,
because
that's
really
where
we
have.
The
ability
to
sanction
is
on
the
reporting
piece
in
terms
of
the
essential
projects.
I
There's
you
know
like
I
know:
Beth
Israel
is
one
of
the
projects
they're
doing
a
slurry
wall
for
a
building.
That's
like
a
one
contractor
phase
for
up
to
a
year.
You
know
so
there's
not
a
lot
of
there's
not
a
lot
of
different
tree
involved,
but
we
are
keeping
a
close
eye
on
the
projects
that
are
still
working,
we're
still
monitoring
and
we're
still
doing
pre
con
meetings
and
corrective
action
meetings
as
needed,
and
so
I
don't
know.
B
I
I
So
we
can't
do
a
larger
class,
even
if
it's
virtual,
but
we
can
obviously
do
multiple
offerings
of
it
budget
allowing
so
what
we
typically
do
is,
if
there's
an
overflow,
then
we
immediately
book
another
one.
So
then
you
know
so
that
we
can
move
people
from
a
waitlist
into
another
class.
I
know
there's
been
a
lot
of
interest
in
this
one
and
will
likely
well
we'll
do
them
we'll
try
to
do
them
monthly,
especially
because
we
don't
know
when
things
will
reopen.
I
B
P
Exactly
so,
there's
really
been
minimum
a
minimum.
It's
not
really
I
would
say.
Construction
work
is
really
just
the
current
securing
the
site
making
sure
that,
for
example,
we
have
a
project
called
process:
okay
in
a
seaport
area,
they're
just
keeping
like
two
individuals
on
the
project.
They
have
an
electrician
on
a
project
and
also
HVAC
worker
on
the
project,
just
make
sure
the
system
that
it
doesn't
get
too
cold
or
whatever
it
that
the
system's
material
work.
So
the
not
so
much
that
it's
quote
unquote.
P
B
We'll
probably
have
to
get
back
on
some
of
those
things
in
the
second
round.
Councillor
Janey
accounts
are
Braeden,
but
just
to
allow
for
the
other
colleagues
and
still
have
six,
and
we
have
advocates
so
again
I'm
going
to
ask
my
colleagues
if
we
can
be
brief
or
maybe
hit
them
in
the
second
round
after
they've
responded
to
some
of
the
things
from
the
advocates
councillor
Flynn,
councillor,
Flaherty
and
councillor
sabi
George
will
go
with
councillor
Flynn
for
some
brief
comments
and
questions
and
then
on
to
the
other
two.
Madam.
A
O
O
B
H
Thank
you,
Thank
You
counsel,
Edwards
in
into
well
council
president
Janey
I'm
glad
to
know
that
the
the
important
work
that
the
city
is
doing
is
continuing.
Even
though
you
know
construction
is
shut
down.
It's
important
to
continue
that
training
during
this
time,
so
I'm
happy
to
hear
about
that.
I
know
Selina
and
Chris
Selina.
You
highlighted
the
building
pathways
and
the
operation
exit
program
that
brings
women
in
people
have
call
it
into
the
into
the
industry
and
guarantees
pretty
much
guarantees
of
placement
in
an
apprenticeship
program.
H
The
city's
working
hard
on
this
on
this
program,
I've,
seen
it
as
a
probation
officer
and
involved
in
the
courts
as
well.
These
critical
programs
would
type
could
I
ask
a
question:
what
type
of
outreach
are
we
doing
with
the
Boston
Housing
Authority
for
people
that
are
living
in
VHA
and
what
can
the
City
Council
do
to
be
more
of
an
advocate
for
you
in
terms
of
getting
people
into
these
apprenticeship
programs.
K
B
Councillor
flurry
may
have
I
may
have
sorry,
I,
don't
see
him,
maybe
he's
muted
I
know:
we've
had
some
technical
difficulties.
If
he
comes
back,
he
will
certainly
be
able
to
respond.
I
empathize
I
had
technical
difficulties
yesterday.
So
it's
just
it's
the
new
world,
we're
in
councillor
Wu,
has
already
noted
she's
gonna
waive
her
time
so
councillor
Makia.
G
I'll
be
brief,
chairwoman
Edwards,
so
I
do
have
a
few
questions.
One
is
I'm
wondering
whether
or
not
there's
a
list
of
the
top
employers
in
the
list
of
the
ones
who
have
consistently
not
have
followed
through
with
the
Boston
jobs.
Residency
requirement,
it'd
be
good
to
know
who
is
doing
who
are
the
good
ones
and
who
are
the
ones
that
we
need
to
pay
attention
to
I'm.
Also
curious,
you
know
in
the
slide
we
talked
about
the
number
of
people
of
color
and
women
that
were
in
different
departments.
G
G
Then
I'm
also
curious.
You
know
when
I
think
about
construction
sites.
I
also
think
that
there's
other
types
of
businesses
and
opportunities
like
people
who
are
cleaning
who
do
the
cleaning
before
you
start
a
project,
maybe
moving
furniture
and
all
that
so
I'm,
just
wondering
what
that
cool
of
businesses
looks
like
and
how
there
are
you
being
and
making
sure
that
it's
diverse
and
then
I
just
have
two
more
questions.
G
We
had
a
budget
hearing
last
week
with
the
public
facilities
Department
and
one
of
the
things
that
chief
Brody
mentioned
was
that
there
was
a
contractor
who
was
working
with
her
on
our
city.
Sidewalk
so
did
not
follow
the
Boston
job
residency
policy.
He
said
that
this
contractor
only
hired
28%
of
Boston
residents
and
4%
woman.
My
question
is
what
kind
of
punishments
or
fines
are
there
for
contractors
who
break
these
rules?
Is
there
any
kind
of
cooldown
period
for
contractors
who
violate
the
job
policy?
G
And
if
so,
what
does
that
look
like
and
then,
in
back
in
my
and
2017
mayor,
wash,
may
change
to
the
boss
and
residency
policy
to
hire
more
people
of
color,
more
women
and
more
possible
residents?
I'm
wondering
whether
or
not
there
has
been
an
increase
or
decrease
in
compliance
with
these
new
rules
and
what
requirement
opportunities?
G
Does
the
city
use
to
help
fill
positions
for
people
of
color
and
Boston
residents
and
women
I'm
just
trying
to
really
understand
what
your
recruitment
strategy
and
outreach
and
also
making
sure
that
it's
done
in
multiple
languages
in
terms
of
your
outreach
and
I?
Also
don't
want
to
occupy
my
time,
because
I
really
want
to
hear
from
the
people
who
are
out
here
on
these
streets
and
I?
Can't
I'm
wait
to
hear
Priscilla
flip
bags?
Who
is
the
one
who
created
the
box
and
residency
job
policy?
G
B
N
And
so
just
to
make
sure
that
we
maximize
the
advocates
time.
I
really
only
have
one
question,
which
is
when
we
have
bad
actors
or
folks
who
aren't
following
these
standards.
What
what
does
the
city
do
sort
of
to
bring
them
in
line?
What
do
we
have
available
as
resources
to
really
make
sure
that
we
have
some
kind
of
stick
to
ensure
that
they
follow
these
things
and
that
they're
actually
doing
it?
B
Thank
you.
We're
gonna
go
ahead
and
turn
over
to
the
administration
to
respond
to
that
group
of
questions
with
discussing
the
BHA
building
pipelines,
top
employers
length
of
time
on
the
on
the
topic
or
on
this
on-the-job,
pre-construction
cleaning.
Looking
at
sanctions
looking
at
recruitment,
looking
at
bad
afters,
so
I
hope,
I,
summarized
kind
of
the
group
just
to
remind
the
city
and
then
the
advocates
we
will
turn
to
you
and
you
will
we'll
ask
you
to
do
some,
will
move
you
as
well,
but
ask
you
did
also
speak.
Thank
you.
F
I
I
would
definitely
say
we
don't
have
an
strategy
with
VHA
and
I
think
that's
an
excellent
idea,
and
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
folks
that
do
outreach
in
those
in
the
housing
complexes.
So
we
can
definitely
try
to
make
sure
that
we
are
including
that,
in
our
outreach,
I
do
think
the
Boston
Employment
Commission
is
a
really
great
place
for
people
to
come.
I
It's
once
a
month
and
we've
already
had
the
ability
to
match
in
real
time
which
I
think
we
shared
with
you
at
the
last
hearing
but
match
in
real
time
a
worker,
a
Boston
resident
person
of
color
plumber,
who
was
looking
for
work,
had
recently
been
laid
off
and
we
were
able
to
match
him
into
a
project.
We
were
discussing
because
the
Boston
Employment
Commission
is
where
we
get
into
the
nitty-gritty
of
specific
projects
and
where
we
say
you
know
what's
what's
going
on
here.
I
Why
are
your
carpenter
numbers
so
low
and-
and
you
know,
the
Carpenters
Union
is
very
diverse,
what's
going
on,
and
so
we
get
into
really
like
individual
level
analysis
and
that's
a
great
place
for
residents
to
come-
or
at
least
you
know
for
for
folks
in
the
council.
If
you
know
of
folks
I
know
that
community
advocates
routinely
come
and
it's
a
great
place
to
actually
match
directly
on
a
live
project,
but
I
think
we
shouldn't
require
that
for
folks,
I
just
think
it's
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
as
a
good
opportunity.
I
We
do
want
to
do
more
matching
by
jobs
and
working
with
general
contractors
more
directly
in
terms
of
councilman.
He
has
questions
we
are.
We
can
absolutely
pull
for
you.
You
know
top
five
or,
however
many
performers
and
bottom
five
there's
different
Chris
knows
more
the
details
of
what
we
can
pull
in
terms
of
reports,
but
we
can
definitely
tell
you
we
often
do
at
the
Employment
Commission.
I
Let
Chris
answer
that
and
as
well
in
terms
of
if
we
are
able
to
count
non
construction
related
workers
as
part
of
our
BR
JP
monitoring,
I'm,
not
sure
I
know
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
interest
from
general
contractors
for
us
to
count
their
employees,
because
you
know
like,
for
example,
Suffolk
has
on
staff
and
diverse
people
that
are
managing
these
projects.
But
we
don't
count
them.
We
don't
count
that
level.
I
P
Thanks
Ali,
so
just
I
think
the
real
major
issue
has
been
the
pipeline
I
think
so
we
don't
know
what
it's
going
to
look
like
after
construction
starts
up
again,
but
I
think
before
the
construction
was
stopped.
It
really
was
a
pipeline
issue.
It
was
about
connecting
workers
to
contractors,
making
sure
potential
workers
could
access
access
to
training
program
or
be
trained
by
a
contractor,
so
I
think
before
Kovac.
It
was
about
the
pipeline
in
terms
of
working
with
the
Boston
Housing
Authority.
P
B
Echo
mr.
brown,
the
and
and
to
say
yes,
that's
exactly
a
perfect
example
working
with
BHA
I
believe
they're,
also
trying
to
repeat
the
same
thing
in
Charlestown,
miss
Suffolk
with
the
BHA
residents
and
the
reconstruction
of
the
housing
development
there
at
Bunker,
Hill
and
to
councillor
Flynn
you'll
be
excited.
Hopefully
this
becomes
a
model
for
all
of
our
your
district
as
well
as
are
going
to
move
to
old,
Connell
Colony
excuse
me
and
redevelop
them.
So
that's
a
good
opportunity
for
us.
B
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
advocates
now
who
have
been
patiently
waiting
and
to
my
colleagues
all
of
your
questions.
We,
my
team,
is
writing
down.
He
will
submit
it
to
the
administration,
you'll
be
seated
on
that
their
responses
when
they
come
back
to
that.
Also
to
my
colleagues
this
is
a
this
is
a
biannual
meeting,
so
they
we
will
be
back
in
front
and
they
will
be
back
to
us
in
October.
So
this
is
a.
This
is
expected
to
be
a
continual
constant
conversation.
B
Now,
moving
on
to
the
advocates
I'm
going
to
ask
some
of
you,
if
you
can
to
raise
your
hands
in
the
you
know,
you
you
click
on
them
on
the
screen
and
you
go
to
participants
and
you
can
raise
your
hand
if
that
appears
for
you.
I
had
already
some
people
who
RSVP'd
so
I'm
going
to
go
through
that
list
and
then
I
have
some
names
that
I'm,
not
sure
of
and
I
will
call
them
afterwards.
Otherwise,
if
you're
on
it,
yes
Priscilla
you're.
B
First,
yes,
are
we
going
to
you
as
it
is
4:30
I
will
probably
ask
that
each
of
the
of
the
panelists
or
each
of
the
people
and
at
most
limit
your
comments
to
to
two
minutes
and
I'm,
going
to
try
and
do
it
a
group
of
three.
So
that's
six
minutes
of
advocates
to
the
administration
administration,
ideally
we'll,
say
something
and
that
will
respond
to
the
best
of
their
abilities
and
then
another
set
of
advocates.
Okay,
this
is
to
try
and
get
as
many
people
to
say
and
I
do.
B
Q
Q
You
I'm
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
Julia
for
thinking
that
I
created
the
Boston
Jobs
coalition.
I
did
not
I
just
have
been
an
advocate
of
it
for
the
last
10
15
years
it
was
actually
councilor
booths.
Bolin,
who
wrote
that
ordinance
in
1986
and
Mayor
ray
Flynn
is
the
one
that
signed
it
into
law.
However,
one
of
the
problems
that
we
have
had
is
has
been
about
its
enforcement,
so
I
want
to
just
I
want
to
say
I
mean
I
cannot
go.
Q
Do
this
in
two
minutes,
so
I'm
just
gonna
try
to
do
the
best
that
I
can.
First
of
all,
I
am
a
co-founder
of
the
black
economic
justice
Institute
I'm
a
broadcast
at
Boston
praise,
radio,
the
BG
report,
people
power
with
pasola,
I'm
pilot
of
the
Boston
jobs
coalition
and
I
have
been
action.
Ization
has
been
asked
to
be
the
black
Boston
Kovac
19
coalition.
Q
Now,
first
of
all
this
this,
this
new
ordinance
has
that
was
done
in
January,
25th
2017,
the
it
was
because
of
councilor
Chuck
Turner,
the
Boston
Jobs
coalition
and
the
black
economic
justice
Institute.
We
work
with
Carroll
Carolyn
Crockett
to
get
this
ordinance
in
place
and
the
bottom
and
in
one
of
the
problems
that
we
have
always
had
with
this
ordinance,
has
been
enforcement.
I'm.
Q
Looking
at
these
numbers
that
you
gave
us
for
D&D
parks,
public
works
and
public
facilities,
you
mean
to
tell
me:
you
got
18
33
percent
above
Boston
residents,
62
percent
people
of
color
have
5
percent
females.
That
means
that
captain
most
of
these
people
are
coming
from
out
of
the
city,
the
same
with
wood
parks
and
in
in
in
Public
Works
I
mean
I,
don't
know
what
the
issue
is
ground
enforcement,
but
it
needs
to
be
done,
who
have
heard
excuses
about
Salesforce
wasn't
up
and
running.
First
of
all,
you
don't
have
enough
monitors.
Q
I
have
submitted
to
John
barrels
a
long
time
ago.
There
needs
to
be
community
monitors.
We
look
at
all
the
work,
that's
being
done
in
these
different
districts.
Each
district
should
have
a
monitoring
committee
that
works.
We
have
been
monitoring
projects
in
Rocksmith,
I
have
been
monitoring
projects
in
Roxbury
since
2012,
and
the
issue
is
enforcement.
Q
The
you
so
the
union's
right,
I
heard
you
all
talk
about
the
union's
the
union's
are
not
being
held
accountable.
We
were
told
we
can't
hold
the
unions
accountable,
because
they're,
a
private
industry
that
I
have
a
problem
with
that
when
the
governor
was
running
the
first
time,
I
asked
him
about
that.
His
response
to
me
was
we'll
have
a
meeting
with
Marty
Walsh.
Q
Okay,
that
was
seven
years
ago,
I'm
still
waiting,
I'm
a
it
has
relationships
with
the
trades
he
Proheat
one
of
his
promises
when
he
came
on
board
when
he
was
running
the
first
time,
I'm
gonna
bring
unions
to
the
table
yeah,
we
have
building
pathways
our
operation
exit,
but
how
many
people
get
really
get
in
the
Union
we
have
had
people
tell
us,
they
went
through
the
projects
and
didn't
get
in
the
Union.
Another
issue
we
have
is
the
people's
Academy.
Q
That
should
be
a
functioning
program
in
this
city
and
it's
a
shame
and
a
disgrace
that
the
mayor
has
led
people
on
it
on
t,
michael
thomas
on
and
on
about
this
project,
about
his
people's
academy.
If
you've
seen
the
work
that
this
man
does
and
basically
we
need
got
to
do
better,
we
have
to
do
better,
and
so
I'm
that's
all
I'm
going
to
say.
Q
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
kim
and
Lydia
for
honoring,
my
mother
yesterday,
I
buried
my
mother
yesterday
because
it
just
Kovach,
19
and
I'm
gonna
tell
y'all
I'm,
sick
and
tired
of
this
I
am
sick
and
tired
of
black
people
always
being
on
the
bottom.
I
am
tired
and
we're
gonna
do
something
we're
gonna
hold
our.
You
are
accountable,
the
governor,
the
mayor,
the
state.
That's
all
of
you
are
we're.
Gonna
hold
you
all
accountable.
Q
Q
Q
This
is
unacceptable
and
then
we
hear
the
governor
wants
to
write
a
bill
talking
about
protect
the
health
workers
protect
these
people.
Do
you
know
how
many
people
are
dying
in
these
nursing
homes?
It's
unacceptable
and
we're
not
taking
it.
No
more.
We
had
given
out
over
600
gift
cards
and
we
have
those
people's
names
and
numbers
and
we
are
getting
ready
it's
time
out
the
plane.
We
are
serious
about
this
and
I
think
you
are
I,
don't
want
to
say
anything
else.
Cuz,
I'll,
I'm,
emotional,
so
mom
is
letting
you
all
know
get
ready.
H
F
Q
F
B
So
I'm
gonna
also
there
was
a
any
banks
that
are
ours.
Yes,
mr.
banks,
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
how
allow
you
to
speak
a
little
bit
and
then
after
him,
I
had
an
RSVP
from
mr.
monk.
Unless
you
wanted
to
go,
go
ahead
or
come
after
him,
you
can
wave
or
go
I'm
just
calling
names.
So
mr.
banks,
first
I
see
a
mr.
monks.
R
R
Thank
you
for
your
all
desire
to
be
here
and
hold
these
meetings
in
this
kind
of
a
format
that
Xoom
format
in
my
kind
of
just
showed
a
certain
amount
of
commitment
on
your
parts
to
to
hit
the
continued
the
process
and
to
do
what
we
can
to
serve
the
people
of
this.
Our
great
city,
I
thank
God
for
my
friend
and
co-workers,
Casilla
she's,
a
passionate
woman
and
she's
been
out
in
these
streets,
doing
much
work
for
the
city
of
Boston
and
the
residents
of
Boston,
black
and
white
and
brown,
and
so
I
honor.
R
R
They
don't
deserve
to
have
a
job
here,
and
that
is
the
key
to
truth
to
the
matter.
In
my
opinion,
we
need
to
put
more
teeth
in
the
bill
and
the
becks
ability
to
sanction
and
to
prevent
those
contractors
from
working.
It
happens
in
New
York.
It
happens
in
other
places,
you
don't
they
don't
toe
the
line
when
it
comes
to
the
requirements
that
are
required
of
them.
They're
not
allowed
to
work
or
the
work
is
stuck.
R
He
has
to
do
that
to
all
construction
companies
when
we
go
back
to
work,
if
they
are
compliance
and
I
think
we
need
to
hold
the
mayor's
feet
to
the
fire
and
the
administration's
feet
to
the
fire
to
ensure
that
they
are
making
sure
that
the
contractors
who
are
doing
business
in
this
city
comply
with
the
rules
that
are
already
on
the
books
already
on
the
books.
It's
not
like
we're
trying
to
create
the
wheel
all
over
again.
R
These
rules
are
already
on
the
books
in
terms
of
training
and
apprenticeship
programs,
there's
something
that
definitely
is
needed.
I'm
so
thankful
to
hear
counselor
Jaime's
remarks
earlier
when
she
talked
about
the
how
many
workers
have
lost
jobs
and
how
many
how
we
have
to
prioritize
those
who
are
traditionally
left
behind
in
our
city.
You
know
we
have
to
do
that.
R
R
They
had
their
OSHA
the
OSHA
card
so
that
they
were
able
to
go
right
into
a
construction
job
right
out
of
high
school
to
get
that.
So
those
are
the
kinds
of
advantages.
Those
are
the
kind
of
opportunities
afford.
Our
our
black
minority
students
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
I,
just
wanna
I,
don't
wanna,
take
up
much
more
time.
I
know
there
are
other
people
waiting
waiting
to
speak.
R
B:G
I
will
be
definitely
keeping
my
eyes
and
ears
open
to
what
Beck
is
doing
and
I
hope
that
we
will,
as
Priscilla
said,
we
have
to
do
better.
We
have-
and
this
is
a
key
time.
This
is
a
key
time
right
now,
while
doing
with
doing
this
this
pandemic,
for
us
to
do
better
and
to
not
go
back
to
the
way
things
always
were
used
to
be,
we
need
to
change
and
we
need
to
do
it
right
now.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
B
You
so
much
mr.
banks,
I
have
the
henries
by
rukia
and
I
apologize
if
I
mispronounced
your
name
but
I'm
gonna
have
dick
go
first
and
then
the
administration
will
have
a
couple
couple
minutes
and
then
we're
going
to
go
to
makea
I
have
a
Frank
Alfred
who's
RSVP'd,
the
senator
Dyanne
Wilkerson
RSI,
sparse,
weepy,
I'm,
not
sure
if
she's
here,
but
I
just
want
to
let
people
know
who
are
waiting,
that
they
are
I,
have
a
list
and
I'm
going
to
get
to
that.
Mr.
M
Hello,
great
hi,
my
name
is
dick
monks.
I'm
with
the
Boston
Jobs
coalition.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
today.
I
certainly
appreciate
the
words
of
respect
people
are
showing
counsel
aterna.
Today
we
should
remember
that
his
last
or
close
to
his
last
time
here
at
a
public
hearing
here
at
City
Council,
well
we're
not
there,
but
at
the
City
Council
was
in
October,
23rd
or
21st.
M
Not
they
let
at
the
previous
review,
so
right
up
to
the
end,
chuck
was
working
and
doing
everything
he
could
on
this
issue,
I'm
encouraged
to
hear
a
lot
of
the
words
that
the
council
started
out.
The
meeting
with
there
is
great
disappointment
in
the
community
about
what's
happened
in
terms
of
the
enforcement
and
the
sanctioning
of
the
bad
players
that
we
have,
but
I
do
hear
a
different
voice
from
the
councillors.
Speaking
in
terms
of
understanding
how
we
can
go
about
dealing
with
that,
you
know
I'm
preparing
for
my
word
today.
M
I
was
thinking
about
what
would
Chuck
do.
We
know.
Chuck
was
a
great
thinker
and
leader,
but
he
always
believed
in
moving
forward
and
and
times
of
frustration
and
wouldn't
let
frustration
blur
his
vision,
but
we
also
know
the
world
has
changed
with
kovat
19
the
disruption
and
in
many
cases
the
illness
and
death
is
in
all
our
lives.
M
The
stoppage
of
work
on
large
construction
projects
across
the
city
was
the
necess
Cerie
removed
and
we
Harold
the
leadership
that
the
mayor
and
the
trade
union
leaders
chose
health
over
wealth
in
this
instance.
But
what
do
we
do
now?
Well,
the
BJC
believes
that
we
must
not.
We
must
turn
this
disaster
into
an
opportunity
in
regards
to
the
BR
JP.
In
this
review.
We
call
for
an
end
to
business
as
usual.
M
We
do
not
want
to
go
back
to
the
old,
normal
I
know
earlier
councillor
Chaney
addressed
it
exactly
that
and
that's
important
that
we,
this
is
a
time
to
sort
of.
Let's
look
at
it,
we
can't
go
to
the
we
can't
be
business
as
usual.
The
statistics
on
the
severe
and
damage
this
virus
has
done
has
done,
has
rained
down
on
communities
of
color
in
health
and
in
wealth,
cannot
be
denied
and
should
not
be
ignored.
M
M
H
M
Until
we
bring
them
into
this
meeting
to
have
this
discussion,
we
think
that's
a
major
clog
we've.
You
know
people
are
referring
to
that
difficulties.
People
have
getting
into
the
program
so
even
when
they're
in
of
staying
on
the
jobs-
and
there
are
union
people
and
the
non-union
contractors
who
are
trying
to
do
a
good
job,
but.
B
M
Need
to
have
them
in
the
room
and
we
and
we
thought
it
might
take
two
days
to
have
the
session,
but
we
think
it's
an
important
issue
and
we
don't
think
we
can
make
progress
until
we
bring
the
suppliers
of
the
labor
into
the
building
to
have
into
this
discussion
to
talk
about
what
works
and
what
doesn't
work
and
the
other.
The
other
thing
I
need
to
do
is
say
and
I
believe
it's
it's
been
coming
up,
but
that's
we
need
some
to
be
thinking
bold.
We
need
to
take
some
chances.
M
Think
I'm
trying
to
cut
my
words
short,
so
I'm,
taking
out
part
of
my
prepared
statement.
We
urge
the
city
leaders
and
the
union
leaders
to
sit
down
together
with
community
members
to
talk
this
out.
The
best
ideas
come
up
when
it's
a
cooperative
setting
with
those
most
affected
and
damaged
by
the
current
policies
are
in
the
room
and
at
the
table,
and
that's
not
really
happened
yet
and.
B
M
They've
always
claimed
they
can't
really
tell
the
numbers
or
where
people
live
or
what
their
race
may
be.
Well,
let's
do
that
census.
He
called
for
it
I
think
that's
a
very
good
idea,
and
then
six
months
by
six
months,
we
can
start
to
see
if
there
are,
if
so,
how
and
if
not,
why
so
I'm
I'm
gonna
end
there.
My
very
choppy
presentation
thank.
B
You
sorry
do
I
see
Enid
in
the
background
no
hide
over.
There
I
see
you
Enid,
so
I'm
gonna
allow
for
the
administration
to
respond
to
these
three
speakers.
I
think
Travis.
You
had
raised
your
hand
if
you
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
lead
in
the
response
and
Selena
and
then
the
next
three
people
to
speak
will
be
again:
I
apologize
here,
Fred
mr.
B
Frank,
Frank
Alfred
and
then
senator
Diane
Wilkerson,
who
are
coming
up
and
if
there's
anyone
who's
not
available
in
those
three
we'll
just
move
on
to
the
next
people,
and
we
should
be
able
to
get
through,
must
be
advocates
in
the
second
round
so
to
the
administration.
Briefly,
if
you
could
respond,
Thank.
O
You
counselor
I
works
I'll
be
really
brief,
could
actually
have
to
go.
Did
some
childcare
duties,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
addressed
an
earlier
question
that
counselor
Janie
raised
around
the
city
of
Boston's
own
self
performance
of
projects
and
what
what
can
be
done
as
a
city
of
Boston,
developer,
I.
O
Think
that
there's
two
things
that
we
can
do
one
of
the
first
things
is
as
sales
forces
rolled
out
it's
going
to
allow
the
procurement
departments
of
the
city
as
they're,
awarding
contracts
to
have
a
better
idea
of
how
those
contractors
have
fared
in
the
past.
With
regards
to
the
BR
JP
I,
don't
think
right
now,
there's
a
bit
of
a
disconnect
between
their
procurement
and
the
project,
executives,
I,
think
on
the
file,
sub
bid,
piece,
I,
think
I'm,
not
a
legislator
at
all
or
I
think
immediately.
It
would
need
to
be
done.
O
We
need
to
update
the
definition
of
responsible
to
including
history
of
BR
JP
compliance.
We
got
away
contractor's
ability
to
provide
residents,
people
call
her
women
with
employment
as
equal
to
their
skill,
ability
and
integrity
and
then
real
quickly.
I'll,
just
segue
over
we've
been
talking
about
sanctions.
A
lot
and
I,
probably
talking
out
a
turn
here
and
I'm.
Probably
gonna
get
some
phone
calls
after
this,
but
you
know
what
I've
got
to
do
it.
O
So
there's
other
programs
in
this
within
the
country
that
are
doing
well
with
compliance.
One
of
the
program's
is
rebuild
Philadelphia
since
2017
they
have
disbarred
three
vendors
from
working
the
city
for
violating
the
regulations.
If
you
read
the
original,
so
this
is
the
Beck
amendment
amendment
that
I'm
reading
here
it
says
right
under
the
Commission
shall
recommend
the
imposition
or
any
of
the
three
following
sanctions
and
number
two
is
preclusion
from
the
award
of
municipal
contracts
in
competitions
for
public
development
rights
for
a
period
of
three
years
when
you're
not
compliant
schools.
O
B
I
And
neglect
is
even
more
hurtful
so
I'm,
very,
very
sorry
for
your
loss.
The
last
meeting
I
had
in
the
community
before
all
of
this
was
in
early
March
I
met
with
Priscilla
and
and
BG
and
and
Anthony
banks
over
at
Roxbury,
multi
service
and
I
won't
forget,
I
went
up
to
brother,
Lowe
and
I
was
trying
to
like
debut
my
awkward
like
elbow
tap
and
he's
like
oh
no
bring
it
in
he's.
I
And
so
brother
Lowe
was
my
last
non
family
hug
before
the
pandemic
and
so
that
that
sticks
in
my
mind,
because
that
you
know
it's
always
whenever
we
are
in
conversation
with
you
and
the
BJC
and
the
other
activists
activists
we
are
so
very
grounded
in
our
work
and
in
the
meaning
of
it.
So
thank
you
for
doing
that
and
at
that
meeting,
Priscilla
is
actually
on
the
phone
recovering
from
surgery.
So
you're
I
know
you
are
your
commitment
is
tireless
and
we
hope
to
meet
your
expectations.
I
I
That
was
one
of
the
very
last
conversations
we
had
with
Chuck
and
Brian
Daugherty
and
a
few
other
people
I
think
there's
there
there's
a
real
openness
to
do
that,
and
let's
start
with
those
that
want
to
work
with
us
in
terms
of
pipeline
development
and
I
love
a
follow-up
meeting
to
kind
of
reconvene.
Those
conversations
and
I
also
feel
that
this
does
give
us
an
opportunity
to
pause
and
really
be
intentional
about
who
we're
spending
our
money
with
when
we
do
resume.
I
So
I
definitely
appreciate
the
the
comments
and
then
what
Travis
Watson
was
was
sharing
I
think
we
should.
We
do
need
to
explore.
You
know,
potentially
a
home
no
petition
or
a
legislative
strategy
to
deal
with
the
falsa
bid
system.
So
I
would
welcome
working
with
the
council
and
anyone
else
interested
on
on
exploring
that,
but
also
maximizing
the
tools
we
do
have
within
the
existing
ordinance.
So
with
that
I'll
take
the
next
thank.
B
B
B
C
Okay,
here
we
go
okay,
I
want
to
thank
you
and
president
I
said
to
you
both
I.
Think
last
year,
I
wrote
a
note
and
I
said
that
you're
hearing
on
this
subject
was
one
of
the
best
that
I
have
ever
attended.
It
was
thorough,
it
was
informative
and
you
really
pushed
for
the
questions
to
be
answered
and
it's
happening
again
today
and
I
do
appreciate
it
and
as
well
as
all
the
council
who
were
who
are
there.
I
just
have
two
points.
C
This
specific
example
I
will
give
you
is
by
way
of
history
and
many
either
forgot,
or
are
not
aware
of
the
fact
that
the
contractor,
who
initially
bid
it,
was
granted
the
the
bid
to
build
the
police
headquarters
after
they
were
designated,
had
20
I
think
30
days
to
submit
their
primitive
action
plan.
They
did
not,
they
got
an
extension,
they
did
not
and
they
made
it
very
clear.
C
They
had
no
intention
of
responding
or
submitting
an
affirmative
action
plan
based
on
that
decision
and
the
pressure
put
on
the
city
at
that
time
by
the
brick,
Boston
and
double-a-c-p
they
wordy
designate
and
the
in
the
joint
venture
of
Suffolk
and
Cruz
construction
ended
up
building
the
new
police
headquarters,
but
they
were
not
the
original
low
bidder.
They
were
numbered
too
so
I
just
want
people
to
understand.
We
already
have
the
tools
in
our
in
our
toolbox.
C
C
Could
say,
but
I
I
want
to
use
my
time
to
speak
about
Madison
Park
several
of
the
test,
if
Ian's
have
talked
about
the
need
for
their
the
the
needs
it
that
there
should
be
an
obvious
connection
between
this
whole
discussion
about
construction
and
the
only
a
you
know:
occupational
resource
occupational
high
school
we
have
just
Madison
Park
it
has.
It
has
not
been
anywhere
near
the
kind
of
I
think
production,
a
productive
relationship.
C
We
are
now
about
to
be
on
the
search
for
the
twelfth
headmaster,
I'm,
sorry,
the
tenth
headmaster
in
twelve
years,
that
that
level
of
instability
is
absolutely
devastating
and
some
would
say,
even
criminal.
I
just
want
to
bring
this
to
the
attention
of
the
council
that
we
got
word
yesterday.
That
master
had
been
relieved
and
the
dean
of
students
as
well
to
do
that
to
students
in
the
middle
of
this
level
of
instability.
I
think
is
absolutely
outrageous.
I.
C
In
the
middle
of
the
week,
the
students
have
already
begun
to
hear
from
one
or
two
of
the
there's,
the
one
junior
one
senior
they're
devastated
and,
of
course
they
are,
and
so
just
to
let
you
know
that,
because
I
do
think
it's
connected
that
the
the
hope
and
the
we
had
always
been
that
the
Madison
Park
High
School
would
be
connected
in
a
major
way
with
organized
labor
when
moving
it
was
built,
and
it
never
happened
and
I.
Think
that
lack
of
that
connection
is
part
of
the
reason.
C
I
big
part,
of
the
reason
why
we
tend
to
always
be
trying
to
figure
out
what
to
do
next,
and
so
what
the
council
can
be
involved
in
that
I
know
that
the
chair
of
Education,
a
counselor
asabi
George,
has
been
spending
much
time
and
energy
on
on
Madison.
But
I
think
that
this
piece
is
connected
as
much.
C
If
not
for
the
that,
as
the
chair
as
the
education
aspect
is
the
is
the
is
the
the
work
that
goes
on
in
the
city
and
our
ability
that
we
have
not
taken
advantage
of
to
connect
our
students
to
that
work.
Opportunity.
While,
while
they're
still
in
high
schools
and
and
obviously
I,
don't
think
it's
a
sidenote
enough
yet
another
disruption
of
the
leadership
there
doesn't
help
and
I'm
going
to
end
there,
of
course,
always
and
offer
my
my
time.
C
Energy
focus
on
this
issue,
because
I
think
that
you
know
the
council
president
has
said
on
more
than
one
occasion.
You
know
and
made
it
very
clear
and
we
agree
with
her
we're
not
trying
to
go
back
to
normal.
We
weren't
doing
very
well
on.
We
want
to
see
this
time
used
at
a
time
for
us
to
regroup,
rebuild,
rethink,
reroute
injuries,
you
know
and
all
those
other
things
that
we
can
do
and
I
think
it
will
happen.
C
It
can
only
happen
with
your
continued
vigilance,
your
continued
focus
and
attention
and
that
we
will
be
with
you
to
press
to
make
sure
that
the
city
administration
it
gets
on
board
too,
because
I'm
not
so
sure
that
we're
seeing
the
kind
of
collaboration
and
work
at
interaction
that
we
that
we
need
to
in
order
for
us
to
have
any
sense
that
this
is
going
to
work
so
I.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
Very
much,
and
just
can
just
thank
you
for
staying
on
this.
We
can
do
better.
Thank.
B
K
The
way
Madison
Park
is
designed
to
have
can
only
lead
to
success
and
I
had
a
taste
of
that
during
my
years
at
Boston
tech,
and
that
has
served
me
well
and
I.
Just
I
think
that
our
schools,
and
in
particular
Madison
Park
or
the
key,
really
are
the
key
to
the
success
in
the
long
term.
But
we've
got
things
immediately
that
we
need
to
do
in
this
space.
Thank
you
for
the
indulgence.
Thank.
B
B
S
S
What
we
need
to
do,
but
is
it
going
to
happen
because
there's
a
lot
of
young
men
and
women
out
here
who
live
in
the
city
of
Boston
who
from
the
city
of
Boston,
who
gave
their
life
and
longtime
turn
for
the
city
of
Boston,
who
are
not
getting
opportunities
to
do
these
jobs?
These
these
young
men
and
women
out
here
who
out
here
in
the
streets?
Who
can't
do
this
type
of
work?
S
But
if
not
given
opportunity
to
do
the
work
because
they
can't
be
a
part
of
the
Union,
because
the
Union
only
let
certain
people
in
you
know,
and
it's
like
it's.
You
know
it's
the
family
and
French
plan.
What
I
call
this
friend
you
know
cuz
it.
You
know,
kids,
who
are
trying
to
get
onto
these
unions.
They
have
to
go
through.
So
many
loopholes
and
so
many
loops
to
get
onto
these,
you
don't
and
they
want
to
be
a
positive
you
lose
if
they
want.
S
You
know
I'm,
you
know,
live
out
the
dream
and
make
the
money
and
stay
here
and
the
city
of
Boston
but
they're
not
able
to
you
know
so.
I
just
wanted
to
take
this
moment.
You
know
just
to
thank
the
chair
and
the
City
Council
president
for
putting
this
together
and
all
this
other
City
Council
who
are
on
here
who
who,
who
are
giving
their
heart
and
soul,
to
make
sure
that
did
this
happen.
But
you
know
we
got
a
hold
people
accountable
for.
Why
isn't
being
held
accountable
and,
like
mr.
S
Watson
say
if
we
have
to
get
rid
of
somebody
some
of
the
contractors
some
of
these
big
contractors,
because
they're
they're
not
following
procedures,
then
so
big?
You
know
some
of
these
contractors
are
doing
mafia-style
and
doing
bad
deals
and
pocketing
some
of
the
elected
officials
pockets.
This
has
to
stop.
You
know.
We
all
know
who
they
are,
because
we
can
look
just
go
on
excuse
and
we
can
just
see
that
these
contractors
out
here,
working
and
they're
not
complying.
S
B
All
right
going
so
those
are
all
excuse
me,
folks
that
I
see
actually
even
signed
in
I'm
gonna
go
back,
I
know,
Makia,
wasn't
sure
if
you
wanted
to
say
anything
and
I
think
Frank
Alfred
may
have
had
to
sign
off,
but
if
not
that's,
okay,
we're
gonna
go
turn
it
over
to
the
administration.
To
respond
to
this
last
set
of
comments
from
the
senator
and
from
mr.
Williams,
and
then
the
counselor
will
be
going,
the
council
will
be
going
through
its
second
round
questions.
I
Don't
know
what
happened
to
my
video,
thank
you
so
much
senator
Wilkerson
and
mr.
Williams
for
for
being
here
and
and
providing
your
testimony.
I
really
appreciate
it.
I
I
definitely
think
this
is
an
area
in
terms
of
the
response,
lowest
responsible
bidder.
I
just
think
that's
an
area
we
need
to
fully
explore.
I
So
we
will
definitely
do
that
and
reconvene
this
conversation,
because
I
think
we
want
to
know
what
are
the
tools
we
can
use,
given
the
existing
ordinance
and
existing
procurement
laws.
I
know
that
state
procurement
supersede
City
laws,
but
I
know
that
I
definitely
think
you
provided
a
great
example,
so
we'll
explore
that
further,
and
just
thank
you
for
for
your
commitment
to
this
work.
A
I
appreciate
that
madam
chair
for
the
opportunity
I
just
want
to
go
on
record,
really
extending
my
deep
appreciation
to
all
the
advocates
who
already
spoke
really
grateful
for
your
partnership
in
this
work.
I
had
more
questions
that
I
really
wanted
to
go
in
deeper
in
terms
of
district
seven
and
what
was
happening
in
some
of
these
projects,
but
in
the
interest
of
time
I
understand
that
we
are
now
past.
The
two-hour
mark
I
am
happy
to
follow
that
up
offline.
A
If
that
makes
sense
with
the
administration,
I
would
like
to
understand
more
about
the
numbers
for
district,
seven
and
so
Miss
Barrios
Miller.
If
you
are
in
mr.
Brown,
if
you
guys
are
available
I'm
happy
to
take
that
conversation,
offline
I
just
want
to
echo
as
I
wrap
up
my
time.
The
importance
of
getting
this
right
I
also
want
to
echo
some
of
those
sentiments
that
I
heard
from
some
of
our
speakers,
including
the
administration,
but
also
especially
from
the
advocates.
We
have
some
tools
that
I
don't
think
we
are
using.
B
D
Very
very
brief
comment.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
of
the
advocates
for
and
for
the
administration
for
participating
in
this
very
important
conversation
this
afternoon.
I
would
also
like
to
amplify
what
senator
Wilkinson
mentioned.
I
really
do
feel
strongly
that
the
situation
within
our
vocational
technical
education
is
extremely
important
if
a
whole
generation
of
young
people
who
are
missing
out
on
an
opportunity
to
participate
in
a
booming
building
boom
in
Boston
and
I,
really
feel
that
that
is
something
that
to
ensure
a
pipeline
to
get
folks
into
the
trades.
This
is
essential.
D
D
You
know
I
know,
there's
been
moves
to
improve
it
in
this
word.
That
is
improving,
but
we're
not
moving
fast
enough
to
get
that
vocation.
We
should
have
the
best
Vocational
Technical
High
School
in
this
in
this
city
in
the
country,
but
you
we
are
I
hope
that
can
be
amended
very
soon.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
G
G
I
find
it
somewhat
offensive
because
it
says
to
our
people
that
were
not
talented
or
qualified
or
maybe
the
real
problem
is,
is
that
we
haven't
done
our
due
diligence
to
making
sure
that
we're
creating
space
for
people
to
assume
these
jobs,
and
the
last
thing
that
I'd
like
to
that
I
need
some
clarity
around,
and
maybe
this
is
something
that
I
may
do
some
some
research
so
notion
about
the
lowest
bidder.
It
feels
to
me
small
businesses,
minority
and
women-owned
businesses
and
the
whole
idea
of
having
to
go
to
the
lowest
bidder.
G
If
you
are
a
small
franchisee
and
you're
trying
to
do
business
and
city
of
bars
and
going
with
the
lowest
bidder,
I
think
makes
it
harder
for
those
type
of
businesses
to
thrive.
When
you
have
big
construction
companies
that
can
do
better.
So
that's
just
a
little
bit
I'm
clear
to
me,
and
maybe
I
can
just
do
a
little
bit
of
research
and
learn
more
about
it,
but
there's
some
of
those
that
seem
right
to
me
in
that
space
I'm.
So
I
would
like
to
explore
that
at
some
point.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
You
comes
to
me
here
and
I'm
happy
to
also
work
with
you
on
that
space.
I'm
genuinely
curious,
also
about
the
some
of
this
statute
required
language
and
some,
and
how
that
courts
have
interpreted
that
language
is
all
over
the
place
and
so
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us,
especially
in
time
for
the
October
meeting,
when
we
meet
again
as
counselors
to
have
this
conversation
to
be
armed
with
as
much
information
about
what
these
words
mean
so
that
when
we're
holding
accountable
and
understanding
with
the
lowest
bidder,
it
is
I'm.
G
It
doesn't
feel
right
to
me
and
I
think
that
what
we're
doing
is
we're
asking
people
of
color
and
women
to
do
more
with
less
and
I.
Just
think
that
is
not
equitable
and
I.
Think
that
I
continue
to
grow
in.
My
in
my
my
career
here,
I
think
that
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I
definitely
want
to
tackle
further.
So
look
forward
to
your
partnership
and
doing
just
that.
Thank.
B
H
H
You
know,
senator
Wilkinson
mentioned
also
I
think
this
is
also
the
the
best
hearing
that
I've
been
to
on
the
City
Council,
the
more
you're
exposed
to
this
issue,
the
better
better
City
Council
you
while
listening
to
the
advocates-
and
you
know
that's
what
you
really
learn
about
the
issue
is
by
listening
to
the
Advocate,
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
advocates
for
your
long
long
time,
dedication
and
commitment
on
this
important
issue
and
again
thank
you
to
the
council
president.
Thank
you
to
counselor
Edwards
as
well.
Thank.
B
K
One
one
question
I
have
and
whether
it's
an
answer
we
get
today
or
not
but
Travis
and
here
to
step
off
I
know,
was
talking
a
lot
about
the
program
that
is
in
Philly
and
I.
Do
wonder?
Affiliate
has
had
any
success
and
I,
of
course,
can
look
this
up
myself,
but
if
Philly's
had
any
success
in
working
with
the
school
district
and
how
they
are
engaged
with
creating
you
know
high
quality
programs
in
the
schools
that
then
translate
into
you
know
opportunities
on
the
job
on
the
job
site.
K
K
You
know
a
piece,
and
perhaps
it
needs
to
be
part
of
the
calculus
or
the
formula
that
we're
reviewing
how
many
of
these
employees
are
graduates
of
our
schools,
and
you
know
to
me:
that's
that's
a
piece
where
we
really,
you
know
we're
saying
what
we're
doing
in
our
schools
is,
is
good
enough
for
the
workplace
and
when
we
get
to
that
point,
I
think
that
we
find
some
success.
Success
that
creates
the
quality
that
we're
looking
for
in
these
programs.
K
I
could
go
on,
but
I
do
think
it's
it's
probably
this
this
hearing
and
this
conversation
is
a
good
reminder
that
we
do
need
to
get
back
to
the
the
conversation
and
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
around
Madison
Park,
so
I
sort
of
take
that
as
a
charge
from
what
we've
been
discussing
today.
So
thank
you
and
look
forward
forward
to
that.
Thank.
B
E
Sure,
yes,
I'm
here
I'm
here
sorry
about
this
no
problem.
Thank
you
so
much
for
giving
me
this
time
to
speak.
I
won't
be
too
wordy,
but
you
know
we
often
focus
on
the
youth
and
how
they
are
important
in
building
the
pipeline
here
in
Greater
Boston,
but
there's
also
an
untapped
demographic.
You
know
ages
22
to
34
that's
walking
around
who
to
have
interests
in
the
trades
as
far.
G
E
Excuse
me
a
career
option
right,
but
they
have
no
real
resources.
It's
happened
to
the
unfortunate
thing.
Is
programs
like
you've
built
Boston
and
building
pathways?
They
have
limited
slots
so
without
going
into
detail,
Madison
Park
Development
Corporation
has
entered
into
a
partnership
with
Madison
car
technical
vocational
high
school
to
offer
a
training
program
for
their
untapped
demographic
and
we're
going
to
call
it
Madison's
trade,
a
train.
E
To
again
add
to
this
growing
pipeline,
so
we
can
ensure
that
the
be
rjp
policy
is
being
exceeded
on
any
of
the
projects
in
the
city
of
Boston.
The
unfortunate
thing
is:
I
have
no
real
stats
to
report
to
you
right
now,
over
and
beyond.
Just
the
fact
that,
within
the
first
announcement
of
rolling
out
the
program
or
the
interest
to
were
able
to
identify
over
150
Greater
Boston
residents
interested
in
getting
into
this
training
program,
so.
O
E
B
You,
mr.
banks,
I'm
gonna,
go
ahead
and
conclude
the
today's
hearing,
but
I
did
have
some
final
thoughts
to
the
administration.
First
of
all,
thank
you
both
for
staying
here
and
throughout
the
entire
time,
and
this
has
been
a
you
know
a
unique
time,
but
I
will
say
if
at
anything,
kovat
has
taught
us
what
we
look
we
should
learn
from
this
moment
is
we
need
to
move
differently,
but
we
keep
moving.
Okay,
there's
not
a
question
anymore.
We
are.
B
We
need
to
move
towards
how
we
recover
from
this
we
weren't
doing
well
before
and
now
we
we're
gonna,
have
some
deficits
and
Delta's
that
we
didn't
account
for
before
that.
We
need
to
know
compensate
so
with
that
I
would
I,
really
think
part
of
helping
you
compensate
is
to
really
attack
the
pipeline
issue
and
concern.
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
trade
trades
Katrina,
but
awesome
within
the
city.
The
CSL
pipeline
and
I
can't
think
of
a
better
time
and
way
to
start
to
make
more
more
people
of
color
and
contractors
then
do
this.
So
25
is
great,
but
if,
if
we're
at
home
in
front
of
a
computer
screen,
I
think
we
can
end
up
with
150
200,
there
is
the
question
of
course,
of
pipelines.
B
I
saw
that
East
Boston
has
I,
think
the
highest
percentage
of
construction
workers,
I,
think
five
percent
or
there's
a
certain
percentage
for
East
Boston
tops
and
that's
great.
It's
only
going
to
get
bigger,
Suffolk
Downs
will
be
developed,
that's
fourteen
thousand
construction
jobs
and
so
the
pipeline
to
East
Boston,
High
School
Charlestown
High
School,
which
both
of
the
schools
have
kids
from
all
over
the
the
the
city
is
vital
that
we
we
build
that
pipeline
and
that
you
push
it
more
than
anything
in
the
world
and
anything
at
all.
B
To
say
that
there's
no,
the
jobs.
Are
there
it's
for
twenty
years,
twenty
years
of
construction
work
and
if
we
don't
have
pipelines
built
into
our
neighborhoods
from
the
very
beginning,
it'll
be
hard
to
compensate
for
that
pipelines
also
need
to
include
ESL,
training
and
I.
Do
know
that
Suffolk,
the
developer
is
committed,
I,
think
a
million
dollars.
Esl
training
he's
committed
a
million
dollars
to
expanding
the
pipeline
or
the
building
Boston
building
pathways
so
that
the
classes
will
get
bigger.
B
Those
are
all
good
things,
but
here's
another
huge
pipeline
and
and
wonderful
sea
of
potential
beautiful
people
and
that's
the
fact
that
we
have
canceled
school.
So
a
lot
of
kids
at
home
right
now
and
so
I'm
wondering
how
we're
going
to
move
differently
in
either
training
coming
up
with
pre-apprentice
training.
Is
there
any
kind
of
programs
that
our
kids
could
be
tapped
into
and
learning
about
what
it
means
to
get
into
the
trades?
B
Is
there
anything
that
the
city
can
develop
or
look
at,
especially
with
our
graduating
seniors,
especially
with
the
juniors
going
into
being
seniors?
How
can
we
tap
into
this
rich
potential
of
kids,
who
are
at
home?
I,
don't
know
if
the
CSL
program
can
you
have
a
priest
DSL
for
kids,
who
aren't
quite
eighteen,
I,
don't
care
if
they
graduate
high
school
and
become
a
contractor.
B
I
think
that's
a
great
thing,
but
future
of
plumbers
of
America
future
electricians
of
America
something
to
be
tapping
into
these
kids
right
now,
because
they
are
home
and,
as
we
all
know,
busy
kids
are
safe,
kids,
kids,
who
see
their
future
and
see
something
exciting.
Our
kids
who
are
going
to
move
towards
that
light
and
I
think
we
need
to
think
about
that.
B
Counselor
Janie
myself
and
the
other
counselors
recently
approved
a
grants
of
ten
million
dollars
of
CDBG
money.
That's
going
to
the
economic
development
office
office
of
Workforce,
Development
I
think
five
million
was
looking.
We
were
hoping
to
go
towards
the
red
relief.
Another
five
million
was
headed
toward
small
business,
but
Co
big
money's
coming
in
so
in
terms
of
building
the
infrastructure
and
getting
this
thing
right
with
sells
Salesforce
or
getting
this
thing
right
with
the
CSL.
B
So
let's
not
wait
till
October
when
we're
full
speed
ahead.
Please
praise
Jesus
that
we
are-
and
this
is
over,
but
I
need
to
need
to
know
before
as
a
City
Council,
so
I
want
to
say.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
Your
effort
to
my
colleagues
for
coming
here
today.
Today's
hearing
on
the
on
the
back
Bakken
Boston
economic
Commission
and
the
Boston
jobs
policy
residents,
jobs
policy
is
officially
ended.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Hi.
