Description
Boston City Council Meeting on April 5, 2023
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
D
Foreign
good
afternoon,
everybody
I
am
so
honored
to
introduce
father
Paulo
kumen
from
Sacred
Heart
Church
in
East
Boston
a
little
bit
about
him
before
he
provides
our
invocation.
This
morning,
father
Paulo
was
born
in
turieste
Italy
in
1973.
After
schooling
he
joined
the
Seminary
of
the
fraternity
of
Saint
Charles
boromio
in
Rome
in
2001.
He
was
ordained
Deacon
and
assigned
to
the
mission
of
the
fraternity
in
Taiwan
after
10
years
in
Taiwan
and
a
short
visit
back
to
Italy.
D
Just
a
personal
note
is
where
I
received
communion.
It's
where
I
was
confirmed.
I
was
where
I
was
baptized
and
I'm
thrilled
to
see
how
this
church
Community
has
thrived.
Since
his
arrival
in
partnership
with
the
community
he's
recently
created
a
hot
meal
soup
kitchen
at
the
church
once
a
month
and
the
next
hot
meal
soup
kitchen
is
occurring
on
Wednesday,
April,
12th
and
all
are
welcome
to
join.
So
again,
it's
my
my
honor
to
welcome
father
Paulo
here
to
the
council.
Please
join
me
in
giving
him
a
warm
reception.
E
E
E
One
of
the
fathers
of
the
church
once
said
to
serve
is
to
reign.
Those
words
were
echoed
by
Dr
Martin
Luther,
King
Jr,
who
once
said
everybody
can
be
great
because
everybody
can
serve.
You
don't
have
to
have
a
college
degree
to
serve.
You
don't
have
to
make
your
subject
and
your
verb
agree
to
serve.
You
only
need
a
hire
full
of
grace
and
assault
generated
by
love
in
serving.
E
We
also
need
guidance,
strength,
humility
and
mutualism,
so
let
us
set
in
prayer
I
invite
you
to
join
praying
according
to
your
tradition
on
simply
listen
respectively,
your
wise,
a
loving
God
father
of
Jesus
Christ
and
our
father.
Think
of
your
many
and
Abundant
Blessings.
Thank
you
for
loving
us.
We
are
all
limitations
and
failures.
E
Therefore,
I
pray
you
for
a
mayor
for
this
assembled
Council
and
ask
him
that
you
will
graciously
grant
them
understanding
to
the
seven
true
needs
of
our
people:
wisdom
to
government,
Justice
and
righteousness.
Deep
and
true
knowledge
of
your
plans
will
be
good
with
people.
They
serve
courage
to
make
decisions,
decisions
that
deem
necessary
by
requiring
sacrifice
parents
for
you
and
respect
for
one
another
right
judgment
to
govern
amid
the
conflict
and
interest
and
issues
over
times.
E
A
healthy
infinite
fear
of
offending
you
and
I
think
there
are
the
people
we
serve
father.
Please
guide
them
so
that
this
meeting
can
be
productive,
bless
the
Servants
of
the
citizens
of
Boston
as
we
place
his
meat
in
your
hands.
If
the
decisions
May
benefit
all
those
who
live
and
work
in
and
around
our
beloved
City,
it
is
in
your
name
but
I
pray,
amen.

The
gold
star
symbol
began
back
during
World
War
One,
when
families
hunt
banners
with
blue
stars
representing
family
members
in
service,
and
if
the
service
member
passed,
the
blue
star,
was
replaced
by
the
gold
star,
the
term
Gold
Star
Family,
Gold,
Star
spouses
and
gold
star
rights
traditionally
refer
to
surviving
loved
ones
of
military
members
who
lost
their
lives
in
the
line
of
duty.
We
everyone
in
this
chamber,
everyone
in
the
city
of
Boston,
in
the
Commonwealth
and
in
this
country,
are
indebted
to
the
men
and
women
in
our
Armed
Forces.
F
As
we
remember
those
who
have
died
in
service
to
our
country.
We
must
also
remember
the
spouses
and
the
families
that
are
left
behind
who
have
suffered
the
great
loss
of
their
family
member.
For
the
sake
of
our
country,
the
United
States
Congress
designated
April
5th,
as
gold
star
spouses
day
back
in
2013..
F
A
I
have
the
opportunity
to
introduce
Peggy
who's.
The
president
of
the
gold
stars,
spouses
and
I-
think
Commissioner
of
Santiago
summed
up
the
this
organization
as
well
as
I've
heard
ever
so.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
commissioner
Santiago
and
we're
not
celebrating
or
promoting
the
gold
star,
wives,
spouses.
But
what
we're
here
to
do
is
to
share
in
the
pain
that
they
have
lost.
A
A
G
Thank
you,
council,
president
Flynn
and
all
the
members
and
and
the
members
of
the
public
I
wanted
to
take
a
few
minutes.
Just
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
gold,
star
wives.
Our
organization
today
marks
the
first
day
that
the
American
widows
of
World
War
II
met
in
1945..
So
it's
our
78th
anniversary
of
being
an
organization.
The
Greater
Boston
chapter
of
gold,
star
wives
of
America,
is
the
second
oldest
chapter
in
the
United
States.
So
we
were
the
next
to
form,
of
course
right.
G
But
what
we
do
is
we
help
the
survivors.
If
someone
served
was
died
in
action
died
while
on
duty
or
is
the
result
of
a
service-connected
disability
of
a
hundred
percent.
We
are
there
to
help
the
family
to
refer
them
to
what
they
might
need,
but
also
one
of
the
problems
for
widows.
Widowers.
Your
social
connections
get
cut
when
you
lose
your
spouse.
Financially,
you
lose
roughly
75
percent
of
your
income
and
what
is
what
placed
is
simply
barely
surviving,
so
our
group
exists
to
provide
advocacy,
excuse
me
and
social
networks.
G
We
also
do
a
lot
of
veteran
service
programs.
We
recently
did
a
program
at
the
homeless,
shelter
around
the
corner.
We
put
together
50
baskets
of
supplies
for
veterans
who
would
be
moving
from
home
homelessness
to
homes
so
that
when
they
get
their
apartment
or
their
unit,
they
had
something
to
put
in
it
and
to
to
move
on.
So
we
rebuild
we
give
back
and
we
try
to
raise
awareness
and
I'm
hopeful
that
many
of
you
who
don't
know
what
we
do
will
take
this
back
to
your
communities.
G
And
if
you
have
someone
in
your
District
who
receives
the
DIC
payments
from
the
VA
and
they're
not
connected,
we
would
very
much
like
to
help
them
be
connected.
They
don't
have
to
join,
we'll
help
anyone,
but
you
know
we're
really
looking
to
make
sure
people
know
who
we
are,
what
we
do
and
what
we
stand
for.
So
thank
you
for
the
few
minutes
today.
I
A
F
I
just
want
to
thank
the
city
council
for
the
recognition
of
our
gold
star
sponsors
here
today.
I
also
want
to
mention
the
Peggy
she
sort
of
alluded
to
anybody
who
you
know
in
the
community
who
is
receiving
the

contact
them,

you
could

a

a
like
substantive

than
for

talked
a
lot
about
the
fact
that
when
we've
got
water,
main
breaks
or
floods
based
on
pipes
bursting
or
building

things
where
there
might
be

there
might
be
a
dispute
with

who's

Council
president,
the
Small
Business
and
Professional
licensure
committee
met
on
Monday
April
3rd
at
3
P.M
for
initial
hearing
considered
Banning
miniature
alcohol
bottle
sales.
The
meeting
was
attended
by
Council
Arroyo,
who
was
the
sponsor
of
this
bill
of
this
hearing,
councilor
Flynn
Council
Flaherty,
Council,
Louis,
Jan
and
Council
Lara.
We
also
received
a
letter
of
absence
from
councilman
Murphy.
K
This
hearing
was
additionally
attended
by
chairman
Joyce
Dr
ojukutu,
as
well
as
representatives
from
Chelsea
discuss
the
positive
impacts
the
band
had
in
Chelsea
relating
to
an
environmental
pollution,
business
and
health.
This
was
this
was
the
first
and
ongoing
discussion
to
consider
implementing
such
a
bin.
We
will
continue
to
host
space
for
the
discussion
to
ensure
that
community
members
have
the
opportunity
to
have
their
voices
heard.
I
recommend
this.
This
hearing
remains
a
committee
and
I
dispersed
to
the
responsible
for
further
comment.
A
A
L
Be
brief,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
representatives
from
Chelsea,
the
chief
of
police,
former
city
council,
president
former
licensing
board,
president
geneta
Norton
city
council,
Norton
from
Newton,
and
a
number
of
other
experts
who
we
had
here,
including
folks
from
the
administration.
I
think
this
is
issue
worthy
of
our
time
and
of
our
work
and
I
look
forward
to
having
conversations
in
the
future
I'm
moving
forward
as
a
city
upon
taking
the
actions
and
the
steps
of
of
making
sure
that
these
miniature
bottles
are
banned
in
sales
in
the
future.
A
A
M
You,
president,
Flynn
yesterday
we
held
a
meeting
in
the
Committee
of
Public,
Health
homelessness,
recovery
and
mental
health
to
take
testimony
and
consider
this
matter
to
incorporate
I
want
to
thank
councils
who
were
present
in
the
three
co-sponsors.
We
had
councilor
Gabriella
Coletta,
councilor,
Ruthy,
louisian
and
councilor
Ricardo
Arroyo,
who
were
all
co-sponsors,
and
we
were
also
joined
by
council
president
Flynn
I
want
to
thank
the
administration,
Alexandra
Valdez,
who
is
the
director
of
the
mayor's
office
of
women
advancement.
M
She
was
one
of
our
panelists
and
also
the
community
leader
and
Advocate
Sasha
good
friend,
who
is
the
executive
director
of
the
mass
now
Massachusetts
chapter
of
National
Organization
for
Women.
We
had
a
great
conversation.
We
learned
a
lot
of
how
the
city
is
behind.
Unfortunately,
we
found
out
and
things
that
we
can
do
to
partner
with
non-profits
community
centers
and
others
to
get
this
matter
to
address
the
needs
here.
So
if
my
co-sponsors,
counselor
Coletta
Louisiana
Ricardo,
would
like
to
speak
briefly
on
this
matter.
D
Thank
you,
president
Flynn
I
want
to
thank
the
chair,
councilor
Murphy
and
my
co-sponsors,
Council
Louisiana
and
Council
Arroyo
for
being
there,
as
well
as
you
council,
president
Flynn,
to
talk
about
something
that
is
largely
stigmatized.
Even
though
half
of
our
population
and
I
would
argue
more
than
half
of
our
population
menstruates,
we
were
talking
about
periods,
everybody
and
the
fact
that
we're
talking
about
it
now
is
breaking
down
that
stigma
period.
D
Poverty
is,
is
real,
so
every
single
month,
women
and
folks
who
identify
as
women
have
to
buy
pads
tampons
and
they
are
expensive
and
largely
people
are
choosing
on
what
we
learned
from
Sasha
good
friend
from
from
Mass
now,
and
we
also
invited
love
your
menses
and
dignity.
Matters
is
that
people
have
to
choose
between
food
prescriptions,
everything
else
in
life
and
then
things
to
help
them
when
they
menstruate,
and
so
this
was
the
focal
point
of
this
conversation.
D
The
second,
the
second
focal
point
of
this
hearing
order
was
to
talk
about
how
we
might
be
able
to
get
contraception,
contraceptive
methods
involved
and
included
in
these
vending
machines.
But
that
is
the
second
phase
of
this
conversation.
Right
now
we're
just
working
on
pads
and
tampons.
It
certainly
was
an
enlightening
conversation.
We
learned
that
Boston
is
behind
other
municipalities
even
in
the
state,
and
there
are
21
states
who
have
already
required
municipal
buildings
and
state
buildings
to
have
these
products
in
their
bathrooms.
D
The
idea
of
funding
a
pilot
program
to
sponsor
these
vending
machines
was
discussed.
We
were
getting
into
the
details
of
what
it
might
take
and
how
much
money
it
might
require
to
have
these
machines
or
boxes
or
whatever
included
in
municipal
buildings,
including
City
Hall,
as
well
as
bcyf
centers
libraries
and
in
our
schools,
and
so
we
heard
from
women's
advancement
that
a
pilot
program
might
need
upwards
of
125
thousand
dollars
so
during
budget
process.
D
If
we
do
decide
to
expand
on
a
pilot
program,
thinking
about
what
we
are
investing
in
and
tying
in
our
climate
and
environment
goals,
and
making
sure
that
we're
purchasing
biodegradable
applicators
and
supporting
local
startups
and
mwbes,
and
so
in
future
conversations
future
conversations,
I
would
like
to
have
the
Boston
Public
Health
commission
there,
as
well
as
BPS,
so
I
look
forward
to
those
conversations
and
really
welcome
everybody
to
be
involved,
because
we
do
need
to
break
down
the
stigma.
Thank
you.

The
specialized
stretch
code
focuses
on
maximizing
Energy,
Efficiency,
reducing
heating
demands
and
promoting
efficient
electrification
by
requiring
new
construction,
new
construction
and
buildings
undergoing
major
renovations
to
be
as
energy
efficient
as
possible.
Buildings
that
use
only
electricity
as
an
energy
source
versus
fossil
fuels
can
eliminate
their
emissions.
When
electricity
comes
from
renewable
resources,
the
specialized
Municipal
often
code
includes
Net
Zero,
building
performance
standards
and
is
designed
to
achieve
State,
greenhouse
and
gas
emission
limits
and
supplements.
L
As
chair
of
the
committee
on
government
operations,
I
recommend
passage
of
this
committee
report
to
ensure
there
is
no
further
delay
for
the
city
to
opt
in
to
this
already
existing
legislation
at
the
state
level
and
system
in
Boston
as
a
leader
in
sustainability
and
climate
resilience.
So
I
am
calling
for
a
vote
on
docket
60606.
Thank
you.
Mr
chip.
A
N
Thank
you,
Mr
President
and
obviously
appreciate
the
the
chair
of
Governor
Ops
work
on
this,
as
well
as
the
chair
of
the
environment
and
obviously
appreciate
the
mayor's
efforts,
and
we
have
heard
from
our
friends
in
Labor.
Gaspit
is
pipefitters
plumbers.
Electricians
Etc
still
don't
feel
that
they
have
had
a
seat
at
the
table
and
it's
for
those
reasons
that
I'll
be
a
no
vote
today.
N
Clearly,
this
is
where
we're
going
as
a
city
as
a
state
and
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
a
lot
of
our
success
stories
have
been
about
Partnerships
and
giving
folks
an
opportunity
to
be
ready
to
have
a
seat
at
the
table.
So
I
do
know
that
our
still
Workers
Union,
as
well
as
plumbers
and
pipet,
is
gas.
N
Fitters
Etc
still
have
significance
concerns
as
to
what
it's
going
to
mean
in
their
industry,
what
it's
going
to
mean
for
the
men
and
women
that
work
in
those
unions
fairly
Progressive
unions,
as
you
had
mentioned,
Mr
President
in
as
well
as
their
family,
so
I
know
we
have
time.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
time.
N
I
do
know
that
we
have
time
through
the
chair
are
asking
for
additional
time
for
the
men
and
women
of
those
unions
to
to
be
brought
up
to
speed
on
it,
or
at
least
they
have
an
opportunity
to
be
heard
short
of.
That.
I
will
have
to
be
a
no
vote
today
again,
for
the
only
reason
being
that
our
friends
in
labor
haven't
had
an
opportunity
to
to
be
heard
short
of
that
you
know.
N
My
sense
is
through
the
chair
that
the
process
will
move
forward,
but
if
there's
any
inkling
to
allow
for
a
little
additional
time
for
our
steel
work
is
that
pipefit?
Is
that
plumbers,
our
electricians
Etc
to
to
to
to
to
to
be
heard
and
to
have
a
seat
at
the
table?
I
would
appreciate
that
that
would
obviously
allow
me
to
to
vote
favorably,
but
short
of
that
I'll
have
to
be
a
no
vote
today
unless
the
two
reconsides
thank
you
Mr.
A
O
M
You
council,
president
Flynn
I'm,
just
rising
to
say
that
I
do
take
it
very
one
of
my
biggest
responsibilities
is
to
make
sure
that
everyone's
voices
is
heard
in
every
vote
that
we
take
on
this
Council
and
I
do
and
I've
heard
directly
from
unions
and
that
they
don't
feel
like
their
voice
has
been
heard.
We
don't
have
to
rush
this
vote
once
I
feel
comfortable
that
everyone
has
been
heard
and
we
can
then
come
to
a
decision
based
on
all
of
the
facts.
A
P
You
Mr,
President
and
I
just
want
to
be
Mindful
and
just
for
the
record,
we
talk
a
lot
about
all
voices
being
heard.
I
know
that
there's
been
lots
of
issues
that
people
have
uplifted
here
on
this
Council
and
have
asked
us
to
Advocate
around
budgets
and
things
of
that
nature
and
when
it
comes
to
the
voices
of
the
people
oftentimes,
those
voices
go
fall
in
deaf
ears
when
it
comes
to
funding.
P
A
I'm
also
at
the
same
place
as
some
of
my
colleagues
that
spoke,
this
is
normally
an
issue.
I
would
support.
Environmental
justice
has
been
issues
that
have
always
voted
and
supportive
over
the
last
six
years
and
I.
Think
I
still
want
to
do
that,
but
I
I
can't
do
that.
If
the
if
the
voices
of
working
men
and
women
across
Greater
Boston
were
not
hurt,
this
body
has
always
been
a
supporter
of
organized
labor
of
labor
unions,
working
men
and
women.
A
Fighting
for
decent
wage
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
their
voice
is
heard
in
this
debate,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
several
of
them
several
labor
leaders
last
night,
and
they
asked
exactly
what
council
of
Flaherty
was
asking
can.
Can
we
give
them
a
little
bit
of
time
so
that
they
can
weigh
in
and
discuss
this
in,
even
though
the
council
will
probably
vote
in
favor
of
it?
A
They
just
want
a
fair
opportunity
to
express
their
position
and
I
think
that's
I
think
that's
fair
and
someone
that
represents
a
large
community
of
working
men
and
women.
I
want
to
make
sure
their
voices
are
heard
in
this
discussion
and
it's
not
just
the
steel
workers
and
the
pipefitters
and
the
gas
workers
and
they
Electrical
Workers.
It's
it's
all
unions.
A
A
Also
I
have
heard
from
the
business
Community
asking
asking
about
this
as
well,
expressing
if
we're
able
to
give
some
more
time
for
them
to
weigh
in
in
the
development
Community
as
well,
that
play
a
critical
role
in
Boston,
but
I
would
I
would
be
voting
no
because
the
in,
in
my
opinion,
other
people
may
disagree
that,
in
my
opinion,
organized
labor
working
men
and
women
across
Greater
Boston
were
not
heard
during
this
debate
and
I
can't
vote
on
something.
If
working
people
are
not
part
of
the
solution.
A
H
H
B
I
I
It
was
provoked
by
an
incident
a
few
months
back,
but
really
took
the
hearing
as
an
opportunity
to
talk
about
what
our
public
works
department
does
in
terms
of
proactive
maintenance
on
on
everything
in
our
portfolio,
but
especially
focused
on
light
poles
Bridges,
some
of
these
other
kind
of
major
installations.
That
city
has
so
we
were
joined
by
Chief
of
streets,
Yasha,
Franklin,
Hodge,
and
also
by
Vaneet
and
Mike
Donahue,
I'm,
sorry,
vanic,
Mike
Donahue
from
our
street
lighting
Division,
and
they
you
know,
we
talked
through
a
number
of
different
things.
I
I
You
know
it
really
hasn't
been
okay
for
accessibility
that
we're
installing
those
and
then
they're
rapidly
getting
torn,
and
then
they
create
an
issue
for
the
wheelchair
and
stroller
like
you
know,
Wheels
as
it
stands,
so
the
chief
did
announce
that
they're
going
to
be
switching
to
cast
iron
as
the
standard
with
a
powder
coating
for
color,
but
I
think
that's
going
to
be
great
for
accessibility
around
the
city,
but
yeah.
We
could
discuss
the
exact
incident
that
have
provoked
the
thing
be
for
the
provoked
the
filing
because
of
the
possibility
of
ongoing
litigation.
I
Q
Q
Thank
you,
president.
Flynn.
In
2019,
this
body
passed
the
good
food
purchasing
program
ordinance
under
the
leadership
of
then
counselor.
Now,
mayor,
Wu,
the
good
food
purchasing
program
is
a
collaborative
city-wide
initiative
that
it's
led
by
the
office
of
food
Justice,
and
it's
meant
to
really
hardness
our
institutional
power
food
purchasing
power
specifically
to
help
achieve
our
social,
environmental
and
economic
goals.
The
program
provides
a
framework
that
uses
five
core
values
to
guide
our
purchasing
behavior
and
requires
that
City
department
and
vendors
adopt
a
good
food
purchasing
standard.
Q
The
ordinance
focuses
on
transparency
by
requiring
a
baseline
assessment,
the
creation
of
a
six-month
action
plan
and
that
a
public
hearing
be
held
no
later
than
90
days
after
the
completion
of
the
Baseline
assessment,
the
Baseline
assessment
is
completed
now
and
the
city
council
is
on
a
90-day
deadline
to
hold
a
hearing.
As
the
chair
of
the
environmental
justice,
resiliency
and
Parks
committee,
I'm
really
excited
to
be
stewarding.
The
food
Justice
work
alongside
director,
wazerman
and
I
look
forward
to
finding
a
time
to
hold
this
hearing
in
a
timely
manner.
Thank
you.
A
P
What
we
see
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
is
that
zero
percent
of
the
purchasing
went
to
Animal
Welfare
BPS,
failed
to
to
replacing
15
of
the
total
weight
of
animal
protein
purchased
with
plant-based
protein
and
or
purchasing
15
of
products
that
are
third-party
certified
Humane.
So
you
know
I'm
really
curious
about
what
are
the
protein
options
for
BPS
students
that
are
vegetarian
or
do
not
eat
meat.
What
we
have
realized
is
that
you
know
BPS
has
received
credit
for
taking
requests
steps
to
outreach
to
vendors
with
labor
law
violations.
P
How
does
communication
with
vendors
regarding
labor
laws?
You
know
violate
and
proceed
and
I'm
just
curious.
You
know,
as
we
continue
to
have
these
conversations,
would
BPS
take
any
actions
against
food
vendors
if
labor
laws
violations
continue
occurring.
So
there's
lots
to
dig
into
here
and
I
look
forward
to
not
only
hosting
the
hearing,
but
really
thinking
about
what
else
can
we
be
doing
to
ensure
that
BPS
is
purchasing
food
that
comes
from
a
socially
disadvantaged
vendors,
like
women
and
by
pop
farmers,
and
all
that
good
stuff?
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
councilman
here.
Would
anyone
like
to
speak
in
this
matter?
Would
anyone
like
to
add
their
name?
Please
raise
your
hand
Mr
clerk.
Please
add:
council
Arroyo
Council
of
our
counselor
Fernandez
Anderson
Council
Coletta
Council
Louisiana,

Murphy
Council,

please

talk

Mr

D
D
D
You
so
much
Council
Braden
expressed
interest
in
helping
me
with
this,
so
I'm
calling
this
hearing
to
discuss
efforts
in
resource
allocation
related
to
digitizing
and
tracking
parking
regulations
in
the
city
of
Boston.
The
Catalyst
for
this
was
a
recent
meeting
with
BTD
discussing
parking
enforcement
in
my
district
enforcement
has
been
a
top
priority
of
residents.
D
I
wanted
to
get
a
snapshot
of
what
our
parking
regulations
are
to
assess
if
we
have
adequate
enforcement
levels
and
if
we
need
a
budget
push
for
more
positions,
I
was
told
that
we
do
not
have
an
inventory
of
where
our
signs
are
or
what
they
say.
There
is
no
tracking
system
that
we
can
pull
up
to
identify
where
residential
parking,
two-hour
parking
or
commercial
parking
is
let
alone
what
what
the
hours
are
like
I
mentioned
in
2023.
D
I
think
that
this
is
crazy
to
me
that
we
don't
have
a
modernized
system
that
we
can
pull
up
like
a
GIS
or
or
tracking
system
to
give
us
a
full
accounting
of
where
our
own
assets
are.
This
has
led
to
enforcement,
depending
on
institutional
knowledge
being
passed
down
from
enforcement
officer
to
enforcement
officer.
D
Ultimately,
if
our
employees
don't
have
the
tools
to
best
serve
our
streets
and
our
residents,
then
their
quality
of
life
will
suffer
as
we
enter
budget
season.
It's
important
to
focus
on
the
dire
needs
to
modernize
some
of
our
outdated
internal
systems
that
directly
impact
efficient
city
services.
I'd
like
to
utilize
this
opportunity
to
discuss
what
we
need
in
terms
of
investment
for
digital
tools
like
the
GIS
mapping
system
that
allows
employees
and
the
public
to
access
information,
request,
services
sign
up
for
alerts
and
enforce
our
parking
regulations
at
the
end
of
the
day.
D
A
N
Thank
you,
Mr
President,
and
to
the
previous
species.
Thank
you
for
including
me
as
a
co-sponsor
very
timely,
as
we
learned
yesterday
that
the
administration
is
on
the
verge
of
announcing
a
new
permanent
commissioner
for
the
Boston
transportation
department,
I
think
they
may
have
let
it
slip,
but
nonetheless
perfect
timing
for
this
order
and
when
you
think
about
what
Council
Colette
is
talking
about,
you
know
the
we
know.
N
It's
2023
and
we
don't
have
the
ability
to
allow
home
health,
aids
and
or
physical
therapist,
or
in
more
dire
situations,
hospice
nurses
and
workers
to
come
into
our
city
to
service
and
take
care
of
our
residents
loved
ones,
failing
them
as
Neighbors
without
having
to
come
out
to
a
ticket
or
a
tow.
There
has
to
be
a
system.
N
What
happens
now
is
when
you
talk
to
those
home
health,
aides
and
those
hospitals
workers
is
they
decide
not
to
come
to
Boston,
so
we
lose
out
on
that
Talent.
They
decide
not
to
come
here.
Oh
no
I'm
not
going
to
take
that
job,
because
I'm
going
to
get
ticketed
a
toad,
they
end
up
going
to
surrounding
communities
around
in
Boston,
so
we
lose
out
on
on
the
best
and
brightest
and
passionate
talented
healthcare
workers
and
hospice
workers
and
physical
therapists.
N
Because
of
the
Pains
of
parking
somewhere
that
you
either
weren't
aware
of
you
didn't
see
the
sign
or
you
didn't,
have
a
resident
sticker,
so
I
think
in
some
in
in
joining
with
councilor
Coletta.
Looking
at
the
issues
that
she's
focused
here,
but
and
then
maybe
being
able
to
broaden
that
discussion
to
sort
of
do
a
full
extent
to
Stern
on
the
transportation
department
and
what
we
can
do
to
make
our
city
in
our
transportation
department,
better,
more
effective
and
to
serve
our
city,
our
residents
and
our
visitors.

A
R
R
You
Mr
President
April
is
fair
housing
month
and
it's
a
month
that
reminds
us
that
the
principal
of
fair
housing
is
not
only
not
federal
law,
but
it's
also
looking
at
what
we
can
do
here
on
the
city
and
state
level,
and
that
fair
housing
is
a
fundamental
right
for
all
of
us.
As
a
city,
we
welcome
all
neighbors
recognizing
the
contributions
and
richness
given
by
a
wide
variety
of
people
from
diverse
backgrounds,
colors
ethnicities,
religious
traditions
and
gender
identities.
R
R
R
We
all
know
that
that,
even
with
the
passage
of
the
Fair
Housing,
Act
of
discrimination
still
persist,
sometimes
in
obvious
ways,
and
sometimes
in
subtle
ways.
There's
an
article
this
week
in
the
bot
in
boston.com
talking
about
the
further
segregation
in
our
city
because
of
black
home
buyers,
who
face
discrimination
or
are
being
outbid
in
the
housing
market
here,
and
so
it's
something
that
we
must
pay
attention
to.
R
We
discussed
at
our
recent
hearing
on
lending
discrimination.
The
paired
that
paired
testing
is
a
gold
standard
of
a
testing
methodology
to
ensure
that
we
are
aggressively
going
after
those
who
are
discriminating
in
our
housing
market,
and
we
need
to
make
it
very
clear
that
the
city
of
Boston
is
being
aggressive
in
this
front
to
let
Realtors
Brokers
and
everyone
know
that
we
take
housing
discrimination
very
seriously.
R
And
so
we
heard
from
the
executive
director
of
The
Fair
Housing
Commission
here
Bob
Terrell
about
the
need
for
us
to
have
more
testers
for
us
in-house
testers,
more
of
which
we'll
hear
of
during
the
budget
process.
So
I
encourage
us
all
to
be
supportive
so
that
we
could
do
our
role
and
dismantle
feeling
housing.
Discrimination
in
our
market
and
I
also
encourage
everyone
to
sign
up.
R
A
I
I
I
think
that
you
know
there's
a
huge
role
for
the
city
of
Boston
to
play
and
especially
as
we
really
try
to
make
real
what
was
originally
in
the
law,
but
really
not
made
real
over
many
decades
that
responsibility
to
affirmatively
further
fair
housing
to
not
just
not
discriminate
in
ways
that
people
were
discriminated
against
in
the
past,
but
also
to
recognize
the
many
ways
in
which
that
housing
discrimination
has
been
encoded
in
our
communities
and
to
actively
push
against
that.
And
so
that
means
the
things
like
what
we're
talking
about.
I
In
the
hearing,
as
counselor
luigien
said,
it
means
you
know,
funding
fair
housing,
testing,
making
sure
that
folks
are
not
being
discriminated
against,
whether
an
appraisals
are
seeking
to
use
their
vouchers
or
just
based
on
the
color
of
your
skin
as
renters.
But
it
also
means
that
you
know
the
affirmative
piece
is
what
are
we
doing
in
our
inclusionary
development
to
make
sure
that
there
are
places
for
everybody
to
live
in
every
part
of
the
city?
What
are
we
doing
in?
I
It's
an
act
that
comes
out
of
out
of
recognition
of
Martin,
Luther
King
and
all
the
Civil
Rights
work,
and
particularly
the
struggle
of
black
Americans.
But
we
also
continue
to
see
substantial
racial,
substantial
housing
discrimination
against
our
lgbtq
community
against
folks
with
disabilities
against
families
with
children
under
the
age
of
18..
So
this
really
is
a
law
where
fulfilling
it
takes
a
lot
of
work,
but
it
it
kind
of
it's
essential
to
having
a
truly
inclusive
community.
So
I
I
very
much
urge
my
colleagues
to
join
us
in
passing
the
stock
today.
A
Thank
you,
Council
Buck.
Would
anyone
else
like
to
speak
on
this
matter
or
add
on
to
it?
Please
raise
your
hand
Mr
Clark,
please
add
Council
Coletta
Council
Fernandez
Anderson,
Council,
Flaherty,
Council,
Lara,
Council,
Mejia,
Council,
Murphy,
Council
Rel,
please
add
the
chair.
Council
Arroyo,
Council,
Louisiana
in
Council
block
are
seeking
suspension
of
the
rules
and
Adoption
of
docket
zero.
Seven,
two
six,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
all
post
saying
a
the
eyes
haven't.
The
doctor
has
been
adopted,
we're
on
to
dock
at
zero.
Seven,

seven.
K
Thank
you,
April
is
Second
Chance
month
and
this
this
morning,
rep
Montano
rep
Worrell
and
myself
received
a
tour
of
the
South
Bay
correction,
House
of
house
of
correction
from
Sheriff,
Tompkins,
superintendent,
Sweeney
and
Jim
walls,
and
the
purpose
of
this
tour
was
to
hear
firsthand
the
challenges
and
barriers
that
our
reactor
Community
is
facing
and
learning
about
the
new
initiatives
that
the
sheriff's
department
has
put
in
place
without
Second
Chances
few
few
of
us
would
be
in
this
room
today.
We've
made
mistakes,
learn
and
done
better.
K
The
next
time.
Some
of
us
in
this
room
through
our
own
lived
experiences
or
hearing
the
experience
of
the
communities.
We
serve.
I
understand
that
too
many
in
our
city.
It
feels
like
they
didn't.
Even
they
did
that
they
didn't
even
have
a
first
chance,
but
many
individuals
re-entering
the
communities
we
promises
second
chance
to
those
whose
decisions
have
led
them
to
incarceration
upon
serving
their
time.
K
Some
are
often
met
for
the
first
time
in
their
life,
with
the
support
and
rappers
wrap
around
Services
they
need,
and
in
too
many
cases
that
promise
of
a
second
chance
is
still
elusive.
As
we
struggle
to
meet
the
need
and
fulfill
our
commitment,
we
cannot
fix
this
until
we
change
The
Narrative
of
incarceration
and
Rehabilitation.
K
K
If
you
can
do
this
alone,
reentry
and
reintegration
into
society
requires
Community
Support.
It
requires
care,
mentorship
and
understanding.
I
believe
that
the
U.S
criminal
legal
system
was
more
oriented
towards
evidence-based
reforms
like
education
and
job
training.
Instead
of
toward
punishment,
we
have
better
outcomes
and
recidivism
will
decline.
This
Council
and
our
mayor
have
made
Investments
to
support
the
work
of
the
office
of
returning
citizens,
including
granting
1
million
to
organizations
dedicated
to
supporting
folks
as
they
return
home.
Most
of
these
grants
went
to
organizations
founded
and
run
by
those
who
were
formally
incarcerated.
K
This
initial
investment
is
the
first
of
its
kind
and
speaks
to
the
need,
but
that
does
not
mean
that
we
should
take
a
Victory
lap.
Returning
citizens
still
face
barriers
that
we
that
we
know
lead
to
instability
that
they
try
to
chart
a
better
path.
They
have
little
access
to
education
and
are
ineligible
for
key
services
like
public
benefits,
public
housing
and
student
loans.
K
It
is
our
responsibility
to
ensure
that
all
of
all
of
our
citizens
have
access
to
housing,
that
is
Affordable
jobs
that
provide
family,
sustaining
wages,
high
quality,
public
education,
affordable
and
accessible
Medical,
Care
and
an
environment,
supportive,
good
mental,
physical
and
Community
Health,
the
very
things
that
can
help
prevent
crime.
Before
it
happens,
we
cannot
dismantle
the
system
that
led
to
incarceration,
without
intentional
actions,
to
address
the
root
causes
of
crime
and
violence.
A
J
You
Mr
President,
thank
you
to
my
Council
colleague
for
their
resolution.
I
would
add
that
The
Car
Store
system
is
severely
racist,
it
commodity
commoditizes,
black
men's
bodies
and
that
the
root
causes
for
incarceration
or
how
it
disproportionately
incarcerates
black
men,
Latino
men,
men
of
color
indigenous
men
over
their
counterparts,
is
racist
and
that
we
should
look
at
the
root
causes
of
gun,
violence
or
any
other
types
of
violence
or
crime
as
as
racism,
and
how
to
prevent
that.
Is
that
what
we
do?
J
A
R
Thank
you,
Mr
President
and
all
good
I
want
to
thank
Council
Harrell
for
adding
me
as
an
original
co-sponsor
on
this.
It
is
incredibly
important
that
you
know
we
recognize
that
we
live
in
a
city
where
there
are
three
thousand
people
every
year,
returning
home
from
incarceration.
Those
are
folks
in
our
communities.
R
So
really
grateful
for
the
city
council
for
the
work
that
we
did
during
our
during
budget
last
year
and
making
sure
that
the
office
of
returning
citizens
had
their
resources
to
staff
up,
but
also
to
really
think
about
what
it
looks
like
to
have
an
office
that
works
in
deep
partnership
with
community-based
organizations.
Doing
the
work
and
I'm
really
excited,
as
counciloral
stated
about
the
organizations
that
were
able
to
receive
some
of
the
grant,
funding
were
centered
in
the
hearings
here.
R
It's
also
true
that
none
of
us
are
the
best
things
we've
ever
done
right,
we're
all
somewhere
in
the
middle
and
what
has
really
happened
with
folks
who
get
caught
up
is
a
result
of
the
continuation
of
systemic
and
structural
racism
from
the
times
of
slavery
that
really
recodify
themselves
in
Jim
Crow
and
in
our
cultural
system
and
so
really
undoing.
A
lot
of
that
harm
takes
a
lot
of
intentionality,
and
you
know
sometimes
you
think
about
Second
Chance.
R
A
lot
of
folks
didn't
even
have
a
first
chance
didn't
have
the
opportunity
to
have
choice
or
were
really
Bound
by
what
was
what
was
and
wasn't
provided
for
them
in
school
and
in
their
neighborhood.
So
isn't
coming
upon
us
to
really
think
about
how
we're
allocating
our
resources
and
how
we're
really
looking
out
for
each
other
and
being
each
other's
keeper
here,
and
we
do
that
by
making
sure
everyone
has
the
ability
to
thrive.
So
thank
you
for
adding
me
to
this
resolution
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
the.
O
L
You
Mr
chair
I
just
wanted
to
commend
Council
Morrell,
councilor
Jan
for
the
fair
chance
or
second
chance.
Resolution
today,
I
think
is
incredibly
important.
What
council
Morrell
put
on
the
floor
with
councilor
Fernandez
Anderson,
put
on
the
floor?
What
council
blues
and
put
on
the
floor
about
the
reality
that,
as
we
talk
about
crime
and
safety
issues
in
the
city?
L
Those
are
the
things
that
get
to
the
root
causes,
providing
housing
providing
for
people's
needs
that
get
to
the
root
causes
that
drive
folks
towards
beneficial
productive
Progressive
in
the
sense
that
they
are
being
Progressive
in
their
own
life
and
moving
forward
lives,
and
so
these
these
are
the
things
that
I
think
are
important
to
highlight.
I'm
glad
that
you
did
and
I
look
forward
to
voting.
Yes,
on
this
today,
thank.
A
You
Council
Arroyo
anyone
else
like
to
speak
on
this
matter.
Anyone
else
like
to
would
anyone
like
to
raise
sign
on.
Please
raise
your
hand
before
we
do
that
I'd
like
to
weigh
in
briefly
I,
want
to
say
thank
you
to
council,
Rel
and
Council
Louisiana
for
the
support
and
resolution.
As
you
might
know,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
work
for
seven
or
eight
years
in
probation
at
Superior,
Court
and
returning
citizens,
as
as
this
resolution,
States
Second
Chances
are
critical.
A
Third
chance
is
a
critical,
but
we
need
to
continue
to
work
together
to
treat
those
coming
out
of
jail
or
prison,
giving
them
the
opportunity
and
in
a
helping
hand,
with
services
and
compassion
myself
and
Council
Flaherty
had
a
hearing
last
year
on
Quarry
reform.
That's
something
we're
going
to
do
again,
but
also
looking
at
what
the
city
of
Boston
does
in
terms
of
its
hiring
practices,
to
ensure
people
with
the
Quarry
also
have
access
to
city
city
of
Boston
jobs.

that

requesting
that
the
city

through

provide
any
and
all
information
that
is
available.
Regarding
this
matter,
filed
in
city,
council,
April,
5th,
2023.,.
M
You
I'd
like
to
start
just
by
saying
you
know
we
all
end
up
here
with
the
past:
a
life
I'm
53
years
old
and
there's
lessons
my
grandparents
taught
me.
My
parents,
modeled
for
me
and
I
have
intentionally
tried
a
model
for
my
own
children
in
the
hundreds
of
students.
I've
been
proud
to
be
a
teacher
of
it
doesn't
matter.
If
you
win.
M
If
you've
hurt
people
along
the
way,
then
you
have
lost
and
I
just
want
to
be
reminded
of
that,
and
also
the
truth
will
always
set
us
free
and
when
we
request
information,
it's
just
so
that,
for
me,
I
can
only
speak
for
myself.
Decisions
I
make
or
assumptions
I'm
making
are
not
based
on
hearsay
that
we
have
the
information
in
front
of
us.
So
we
can
make
good
decisions.
M
M
It
was
late
Thursday
that
I
saw
a
couple
of
the
emails
of
the
5816
pages
that
were
requested
through
his
foyer
request,
and
his
request
was
asking
for
any
redistricting
correspondence
between
Council
offices
and
some
staff
I'm,
not
here,
going
to
get
in
to
what
what
I
did
see
or
didn't
see
or
how
I
feel
about
that.
There
is
what
councilor
Baker
mentioned
in
his
17f
a
court,
something
happening
in
the
court.
For
me,
this
is
different.
M
This
is
the
rules
of
the
city
of
Boston
city
council
that
we
we
come
together
and
make
sure
that
we
upheld
our
responsibility
to
hope
the
Constitution
that
we
took
an
oath
on
in
the
charter,
so
I
am
requesting
that
we
get
a
copy
of
those
foyers
I'm,
not
asking
for

Q
Q
My
mother
was
having
a
routine
surgery
at
Brigham,
Women's
Hospital
that
had
complications
and
was
at
Brigham
and
Women's
Hospital
for
a
month
in
a
coma
before
we
had
to
take
her
off
of
life
support,
so
I
just
wanted
to
honor
her
and
I
wanted
to
thank
all
of
the
workers
at
Brigham
and
Women's
Hospital,
who
worked
very
hard
to
keep
her
healthy.
My
mother
was
an
undocumented
immigrant.
She
came
here
alone,
she's
one
of
13
and
I
am
one
of
seven
children.
Q
So
I
come
from
a
very
big
family,
but
she
gave
up
a
lot
and
did
a
lot
of
hard
work,
that
lot
of
cleaning
and
a
lot
of
cooking
here
in
the
United
States,
to
make
sure
that
myself
and
my
siblings
have
the
life
that
we
enjoy
now
so
I
just
wanted
to
invoke
her
name
here.
I
wouldn't
be
here
if
it
wasn't
for
her,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
stenographer
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
city
councilors
for
their
professionalism
today,
and
your
staff
I
also
want
to
thank
the
city,
council,
Central
staff
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
a
productive
meeting,
all
in
favor
of
a
German,
please
say
aye.
The
council
is
adjourned.
