Thank.
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
am
so
delighted
to
once
again
invite
my
dear
friend
in
the
pastor
of
my
parish,
st.
John
Chrysostom,
father
John
Carroll,
to
offer
the
opening
prayer
today,
father
Carroll
has
been
extinct
John's
now
for
just
about
two
years,
just
under
two
years,
and
he's
done
some
remarkable
work
at
our
little
parish
in
terms
of
improving
not
only
the
physical
plant
of
the
church
itself,
but
assuring
in
a
beautiful
piece
garden
dedicated
to
a
an
associate
pastor
than
when
we
lost
earlier
this
year.
C
Father
Charlie
clarity
he's
also
really
helped
build
community.
He
does
simple
suppers
and
Lent
he's
organised,
countless
trips,
including
one
to
France
next
year.
If
you
want
to
go,
you
can
still
sign
up
and
he's
just
a
great
faith
leader
who's,
no
stranger
to
this
city.
In
the
80s
and
90s
he
was
the
chaplain
from
Mass
General
Hospital
in
many
of
the
Longwood
Medical
area.
Hospitals
he's
done
enormous
great
work.
C
D
After
that,
I
think
I
should
be
running
for
something
you
know
nice
to
be
here.
Matt,
thank
you.
Shall
we
pray
Lord?
You
have
entrusted
us
as
stewards
of
your
creation
guide,
our
hearts
as
we
make
decisions
serving
all
your
people
open
our
minds
so
that
we
may
receive
your
eternal
wisdom,
open
our
spirit
that
we
may
know
your
leadership
and
guidance
open
our
hearts
so
that
we
may
receive
your
wonderful
love
as
we
stand
in
the
cradle
of
Liberty
and
as
many
meeting
and
decision
have
been
made
in
revolutionary
days,
marriages
have
spoken.
D
Let
us
be
mindful
of
our
historic
roots
in
the
voice
of
the
people,
help
us
to
understand
that,
while
we
can't
always
walk
in
the
shoes
of
others,
we
can
listen
to
all
people
and
open
ourselves
to
their
needs.
We
seek
you
first
and
all
that
we
do
together
may
be
always
be
mindful
that
the
service
we
perform
is
for
your
people,
help
us
not
to
fail.
D
Those
who
entrust
us
with
our
position
help
us
to
realize
it
is
only
in
serving
one
another
that
we
come
to
learn
true
leadership,
knowing
fully
that
the
God
of
our
understanding
is
foremost
the
leader
of
this
Assembly
help
us
to
be
inclusive
in
our
Airness
of
all,
whether
it
be
race,
gender
orientation
and
religion.
It
is
not
religious
identity
that
matters
it's
about
who
we
are
under
your
protection.
May
your
blessing
be
upon
us
and
all
as
we
work
for
the
common
good
amen,
amen.
A
C
You
again,
madam
president,
I'd
like
to
invite
Tom
Dillon
to
please
join
me
up
on
the
dais
tom
is
a
resident
of
a
constituent
of
mine
of
West
Roxbury
he's
lived
in
West
Roxbury
for
the
last
24
years
before
that
he
was
in
South
Boston,
and
on
Tuesday
June
6th
at
around
1:00
a.m.
Tom
was
sleeping
when
his
daughter
came
into
his
room,
welcomed
up
and
said.
There's
a
fire
tom
lenita
immediately
jumped
out
of
bed
and
went
to
assess
first.
C
C
You're
not
going
to,
unfortunately,
read
about
Tom's
story
in
the
newspaper,
but
I
wanted
to
bring
him
by
the
council
today
just
to
recognize
what
a
truly
great
man
he
is.
You
know,
I
was
asking
him
sort
of
what
was
going
through
his
mind.
Why?
He
did
it,
he
just
simply
said
it
was
the
right
thing
to
do.
There
was
danger,
there
was
someone
in
trouble
and
he
left
to
action
at
a
time
when
many
people
may
be
running
away
from
danger.
C
Tom
really
exemplifies
that
spirit
of
Boston,
strong
and
looking
out
and
taking
care
of
your
neighbors.
So
I
wanted
to
invite
him
in
and
present
him
with
this
council
resolution.
On
behalf
of
all
12
of
my
colleagues
that
simply
reads
the
Boston
City
Council
extends
his
congratulations
to
Tom
Dillon
and
recognition
of
his
courage
and
bravery
as
a
citizen
and
as
a
neighbor
in
the
city
of
Boston
Tom.
Thank
you
for
what
you
did.
Thank
you
for
the
lives
that
you
literally
think
you
are
credit
to
this
city.
G
E
E
I
K
J
Thank
You
councillor,
Wu
and
I'd,
like
to
thank
everyone
in
attendance,
there's
a
great
importance
to
this
space
that
we
are
in
as
councillor
Linehan.
Let
us
know
when
we
first
met
here
that
the
council
had
not
met
here
since
1822
and
I
know.
Council
Linehan
was
not
on
the
council
then,
but
he
he
did
state
it
as
as
a
fact-
and
it
is
waiting
for
me
to
stand
here
because
in
1822
my
ancestors
were
not
considered.
Men
were
not
considered
women,
they
were
not
considered
citizens,
they
will
consider
property.
J
And
I'll
be
brief,
but
in
my
research
what
I
found
out
is
is
about
11.5
million
souls
that
made
it
through
the
Middle
Passage
and
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
what
the
Middle
Passage
is.
We
know
that
chattel
slavery
was
present
in.
Actually
it
was
first
legal
in
our
colony,
but
many
didn't
make
it
and
many
died
in
their
voyage
to
this
land.
Out
of
11.5
million
slaves
who
came
through
only
450,000
came
to
the
United
States.
J
Women's
voices
have
not
been
heard.
The
races
of
people
of
color
have
not
been
heard
in
the
voices
of
Latina
women
have
not
been
heard,
and
so
today
it
is
our
time
it
is
our
chance
and
it
is
our
body's
opportunity
to
ensure
that
these
voices,
important
voices
are
heard
and
before
I
bring
them
up.
I
want
to
note,
we
have
a
brother
who's,
overlooking
us
right
now,
Frederick
Douglass,
and
he
said
something
that
I
believe
these
women
represent.
M
M
Thanks
to
my
family,
my
mother,
for
her
guiding
light,
my
father
for
his
love,
my
sister
and
my
brother,
for
their
ongoing
support
to
the
founders
of

Thank
you
adieu.

who

here
in

love

M
Today
we
are
200
million
plus
in
the
region.
We
are
still
demanding
our
space
and
speaking
our
truth.
Let
us
continue
demanding
and
speaking
our
truth
as
African
descendant
women,
black
women,
African
women,
afro
Latino
women
in
the
Americas.
Let
us
rise
today
and
every
day,
proud
of
our
roots,
proud
of
our
melanin.
May
we
continue
to
walk
together
on
this
journey.
May
we
see
and
embrace
the
light
in
each
other
I
sure.
J
And
I'd
like
to
read
the
resolve
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
we
have
come
a
long
way
in
our
body
and
we
have
three
women
on
our
body
that
are
from
the
African
Diaspora
I
want
to
acknowledge
councilor,
the
first
and
I
think
we
we
sometimes
forget
this,
but
I
know
we
just
we
just
breathe
pass
this
stuff
and
we
in
the
over
100
year,
history,
counselor,
Jana
Presley,
was
and
is
the
first
woman
of
color
on
the
Boston
City
Council.
Let's
acknowledge
her.
J
With
that
said,
it
gives
me
such
great
honor
to
read
this
resolve,
and
this
was
unanimous
as
a
council
we're
not
always
unanimous
as
a
council,
but
this
was
unanimous
of
the
council,
be
it
resolved
that
the
Boston
City
Council
and
meeting
assembled
proclaims
the
25th
of
July
2017
as

an
ordinance
creating
the
Community
Preservation
Committee
was
sponsored
by
councillor
Andrea,
Campbell
and
I,
and
referred
to
the
Committee
on
government
operations
back
on
January
11th
of
2017.
This
ordinance
seeks
to
establish
the
Community
Preservation
Committee,
as
required
by
state
law.
Master
of
Laws
chapter
44,
be
Section
5
to
make
recommendations
regarding
the
use
of
funds
generated
by
the
1%
Church
surcharge
on
real
property
in
the
city
of
Boston.
The
proposal
establishes
the
CPC's
function,
membership
appointment,
term
powers
and
duties.
F
Docket,
0,
1,
2
3
requires
that
the
CPC
study,
the
needs
of
Boston
regarding
Community
Preservation,
evaluate
community
present
needs
of
the
city
and
make
recommendations
for
expenditures
from
the
Community
Preservation
fund.
Under
the
terms
of
the
proposal,
the
CPC
would
consist
of
nine
members,
five
of
which
we're
appointed
as
required
under
master
no
laws.
F
Sam
Tyler
from
the
mistral
Research
Bureau
offered
comments
stating
that
at
least
one
member
of
the
CPC
should
be
a
representative
from
the
business
community,
given
that
he
explained
that
businesses
pay
the
highest
property,
taxes
contribute
to
the
quality
of
life
in
the
city
and
recognize
the
importance
of
housing
in
Boston
and
would
be
impartial
in
allocating
funds.
Public
testimony
emphasize
transparency
in
community
involvement,
along
with
consideration
for
using
the
funds.
The
committee
hearing
was
followed
up
with
a
working
session
on
May
15
2017.
At
the
working
session.
F
The
committee
reviewed
proposed
amendments
to
the
initial
proposed
ordinance
relating
to
clarification
of
the
appointment
process
by
the
City
Council,
the
composition
and
representation
of
members
of
the
CPC
and
the
language
specifying
diversity.
Concerns
were
also
expressed
with
naming
specific
organizations
in
an
ordinance
and
with
having
one
organization
as
the
sole
entity
for
recommending
appointments.
The
administration
discussed
the
appropriate
process
for
the
CPAs
funds
representative.
Some
yes
for
a
bed
of
Boston's
supported
having
their
organization,
submit
names
to
the
City
Council
for
appointment
and
having
the
CPC
meetings
in
the
evenings.
F
Representatives
on
the
business
community,
including
Sam
Tyler
again
from
the
Boston
municipal
Research
Bureau,
attended
the
working
sessions.
The
business
community
representatives
explained
that
they
should
have
representation
on
the
CPC
and
to
take
into
consideration
individuals
with
experience
in
real
estate.
Housing,
finance
development,
and/or
construction
based
upon
information
obtained
at
the
hearing
in
the
working
session.
F
The
methodology
for
the
City
Council's
appointment
of
four
additional
members
through
the
creation
of
a
special
city
council
committee,
which
will
take
applications
and
consider
certain
areas
of
expertise
and
community
ties.
Section
8,
12.4
C
requires
the
CPC
be
residents
of
Boston
at
the
time
of
and
for
the
duration
of
their
appointment.
Section
8
12.5
provides
a
more
expansive
powers
and
duties
section,
which
includes
language,
about
citizen
participation
and
CPC
reporting
requirements.
Section
8
12.6
contains
provisions
that
provide
for
rules
and
regulations
of
the
CPC
and
includes
conflict
of
interest.
F
Language
section
8
12.7,
is
a
new
section
that
provides
for
fiscal
responsibility
to
ensure
that
the
CPA
funds
are
not
meant
to
replace
existing
operating
funds,
but
to
augment
such
funds.
These
amendments
ensure
open
and
transparent
process
throughout
the
establishment
of
the
City
Council
special
committee
for
appointment
purposes
allows
for
a
diverse
CPC
that
is
reflective
of

For

Thank.
O
And
Thank
You
councillor
Flaherty-
this
has
been
along
and
I,
think
federal
process
and
I
want
to
thank
council
Flaherty
for
his
hard
work.
He
started
this
probably
ten
years
ago
before
I
got
here
so
Thank
You
councillor
Flaherty
for
the
partnership.
Thank
you,
madam
president,
for
your
input
and
hard
work
as
well.
I
have
to
give
a
shout
out
to
Christine
who's
sitting
in
the
front
row
for
all
her
hard
work
from
central
staff,
all
the
edits,
the
last-minute
edits,
some
of
which
came
in
today.
O
She
made
sure
that
they
were
incorporated
in
the
final
draft
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues,
I
mean
this,
for
example,
obviously
was
something
that
had
to
be
passed
through
a
ballot
initiative,
so
we
wouldn't
be
here
if
the
my
colleagues
support
the
CPA
from
the
outset.
So
thank
you
guys
as
well.
Thank
you.
Yes,
Roberta
Boston,
the
advocates
Tom
literally.
This
has
been
a
compromising
process
where
we've
come
together
and
actually
talked
through
a
lot
of
different
issues
to
ensure
that
we
got
an
ordinance
that
was
fair.
That
was
transparent.
O
That
talked
about
issues
of
equity
and
diversity.
We
could
not
have
done
that
alone,
so
I
really
want
to
acknowledge
the
advocates
in
the
room,
those
who
could
not
participate
today,
who
could
not
show
up
today,
but
who
also
made
sure
their
voices
were
heard.
We
received
a
lot
of
emails,
a
lot
of
calls
from
suggested
with
suggested
edits,
and
we
took
those
very
seriously.
O
Lastly,
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
in
Council
Flaherty's
office
Sheikh,
in
particular
my
staff,
who
worked
with
Christine
the
back
and
forth
of
the
staff
from
president
Roos
office
as
well.
They
often
don't
get
the
credit
they
deserve.
We
don't
pay
them
a
lot
of
money.
We
should
probably
pay
them
of
more,
so
maybe
in
the
next
budget
cycle
we
can
get
some
more
money
in
the
council
budget
to
do
that,
but
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
because
they
put
in
a
lot
of
hard
work
as
well.

This
includes
the
payment
of

G
You,
madam
president,
we
held
a
hearing
this
past
Monday
on
July
31st.
We
had
testimony
provided
by
Brian
McLaughlin,
the
assistant
director
of
operations
for
property
and
construction
management
on
the
matter.
The
appropriation
and
the
amount
of
$600,000
will
pay
for
a
feasibility
study
and
schematic

at
the
following

as
well
as
the
Russell

G
This
includes
the
payment
of
all
costs,
incidental
or

to
which
the
city
of
Boston
may
be
eligible
for
a
grant
from
the
mass

which
defines
the
scope,
budget

This
is
again
another
accelerated
repair
program
that
we've
been
availing
ourselves
of
many
times
over
the
past
several
years.
The
reimbursement
from
MSBA
will
be
approximately
65%
of
the
total
cost.
These
repairs
will
not
only
extend
the
useful
life
of
the

and
preserve
bps
assets,
but
also
provide
a
comfortable

You
again,

we
also
held
this
hearing
this

We
had
Ellen

the
interim
Comptroller
paragliding,
the
general
counsel
and
Tim
Smith
executive
officer
for
the
Boston
Retirement
System,
give
testimony
the
sort
of
proposes
to
increase
the
maximum
base
amount
upon
which
the
cost-of-living
adjustment
is
calculated.
The
last
time
the
base
was
adjusted
was
in
2012
when
it
went
from
12,000
to
13,000.
The
cola
is
currently
I'm.
G
Sorry,
the
Boston
remains
fiscally
prudent,
paying
down
its
pension
debt
on
an
aggressive
schedule
to
be
fully
funded
by
2025
and
also
makes
a
commitment
to
paying
down
the
open
debt.
It
is
within
our
means
to
increase
the
base
amount
of
14,000
to
provide
modest
relief
to
our
many
retirees
living
on
fixed
incomes.
Therefore,
I
recommend
docket
1
zero.
Zero
two
ought
to
pass
Thank.
A
A
L
C
C
Access
to
dental
care
is
a
public
health
crisis,
not
just
throughout
the
country,
but
in
our
Commonwealth
and
in
the
city
of
Boston
in
Massachusetts,
in
our
Commonwealth
five
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
people
live
in
areas
that
have
shortages
of
dentists
in
Suffolk
County
alone,
which
is
mainly
Boston
as
well
as
the
neighboring
towns
of
Chelsea,
went
to
bring
Revere
third
grade.
Children
suffer
unmet.
Dental
needs
at
more
than
two
times
the
rate
of
surrounding
suburban
communities.
This
is
indeed
a
public
health
crisis.
C
Now
research
by
the
Pew
Charitable
Trusts,
which
I
put
in
all
of
your
mailboxes,
has
found
that
disparities
in
dental
care
exist
on
multiple
fronts.
In
2009,
59%
of
seniors
and
long-term
care
were
found
to
have
untreated
decay
in
2014.
Low-Income
seniors
were
seven
times
is
more
likely
to
have
lost
all
of
their
teeth
than
their
peers.
With
household
incomes
exceeding
$75,000,
African,
American
seniors
were
twice
as
likely
as
white
counterparts
to
have
lost
their
'chief
30%
of
Massachusetts
adults
with
living
with
disabilities.
C
We're
missing
six
or
more
teeth
in
2014
compared
to
10%
of
those
without
disabilities.
In
2015,
44%
of
children.
Enrolled
in
MassHealth
did
not
see
a
dentist.
The
designation
of
dental
therapists
is
not
aimed
at
superseding
or
usurping
the
work
of
dental
practitioners.
Indeed,
councilors
McCarthy
woman
myself
share
the
dentist
and
I
think
he
is
the
greatest
in
the
land
I'm
sure
they
would
agree,
but
what
these
dental
health
Arabists
would
do
would
fill
critical
gaps
in
treatment
for
the
Commonwealth
patient
population.
C
It's
a
gap
that
needs
immediate
attention,
considering
that
more
than
60%
of
dentists
fail
to
take
patients
on
MassHealth
and
only
26%
build
at
least
$10,000
in
2014,
and
this
is
one
of
the
statistics
that
I've
discovered
in
my
research,
which
is
so
staggering.
Visits
to
emergency
rooms
for
oral
health
issues
in
the
Commonwealth
cost
our
healthcare
system,
an
estimated
fifteen
to
thirty
six
million
dollars
in
2014.
To
put
that
in
perspective,
one
out
of
every
five
visits
this
weekend
to
an
emergency
room
will
be
because
of
dental
pain.
C
Now
there
are
no
dentists
in
emergency
room.
So
what
happens
when
someone
goes
to
an
emergency
room?
Typically,
there's
finally
see
a
doctor,
and
often
times
are
given
a
prescription
opiate
to
deal
with
the
pain.
This
is
another
way
that
we
are
not
being
smart,
not
being
aggressive
as
we
talk
about
fighting
addiction
as
we
examine
health
care
policy
nationwide
in
the
Commonwealth,
it's
critical
to
find
ways
to
expand
care
and
cost
effective
ways.
States
and
localities
need
to
be
able
to
spot
these
holes
in
the
system
and
get
creative
in
filling
them.
C
Similar
programs
in
Minnesota,
Maine
Vermont
in
Alaska,
have
delivered
results
for
the
most
vulnerable
people
in
their
states
and
Alaska.
Dental
therapists
have
been
able
to
deliver
dental
care
for
forty
thousand
more
people
across
eighty-one
communities.
Savings
gained
from
utilizing
dental
therapists
have
allowed
Minnesota
dental
practitioners
to
begin
to
take
on
more
Medicaid
patients
and
the
uninsured
I
want
to
thank
the
lead
sponsors
of
these
two
ordinances
that
are
these
two
laws
at
the
state
level.
A

a
come!
K
L
K
K
All
right,
I
just
want
to
thank
Council,
Malley
and
course
small
for
bringing
this
accounts
or
O'malley.
You
know
I've
been
on
this
council
for
eight
years
and
as
you're
all
aware,
I've
been
advocating
for
a
nurse
in
every
Boston
public
school
and
whenever
I
visit
a
school,
the
first
place.
I
go
is
the
school
nurses
office,
because
you
learn
a
lot
about
the
challenges
that
our
our
children
are
faced
with
once
they
cross
that
threshold.
What
they're
living
with-
and
this
was
the
number
one
issue
that
every
school
nurse
raised
honestly,
the
number
one.
K
This
is
such
a
barrier
to
learning,
as
so
many
young
people
experiencing
great
dental
pain
and
discomfort.
So
many
of
our
newcomers,
who
have
never
had
any
sort
of
dental
care
or
treatment,
and
so
so
many
of
our
schools
in
an
effort
to
close
that
gap,
and
this
um
and
this
disparity
of
space
have
had
to
bring
dentists
on-site
and
have
them
there
a
number
of
days
during
the
week
in
order
to
address
this.
K
So
this
is
a
critical
issue
and
it's
one
that
is
a
hundred
percent
preventable,
so
I
think
our
colleagues
on
the
state
level
for
their
leadership
and
the
last
thing
that
I
would
say
is
not
only
is
dental
decay
painful,
but
there
are
many
adults
who
experience
great
stigma
and
discrimination
in
the
workforce
because
they
had
their
teeth
are
in
such
disarray.
So
this
really
is
about
the
health
of
our
families,
our
communities
and
ultimately
about
our
workforce
and
our
economy
and
society
as
a
whole.
So
again,
I
think
horse
small
for
your
activism.
K
A
B
H
You,
madam
president,
some
people
hear
me
I'm
not
going
to
be
sitting
down
with
these
I'll
sit.
All
right
sounds
better
I'll
sound
like
my
good
colleague,
councillor
O'malley,
and
everyone
can
hear
me.
Thank
you,
madam
president,
madam
Clerk
I've
introduced
here
today
is
an
order.
I
think
is
incredibly
important
as
we're
hearing
nationally
from
Washington
about
efforts
for
voter
suppression
to
discourage
people
from
exercising
their
franchise
from
voting
in
City
and
local
elections,
state
elections,
federal
elections
as
we
are
coming
into
election
season
at
the
city
right
now,
I
know
myself.
H
I
know
all
my
colleagues
here
know
well
that
we're
expecting
fairly
low
turnout,
and
there
are
many
reasons
for
that.
But
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
can
directly
address
is
reducing
barriers
to
voting
into
the
ballot
box
and
I.
Think
one
of
the
best
ways
to
do
that
is
one
looking
at
ways
we
can
lower
the
cutoff
right
now,
there's
a
20-day
registration
deadline
in
Massachusetts,
that's
currently
on
hold
due
to
a
litigation
in
court,
but
it's
a
law,
that's
still
on
the
books
and
that's
being
appealed.
H
We
also
need
to
be
looking
at
ways
for
the
City
of
Boston
to
lead
on
this,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
being
innovative
to
make
sure
that
we're
looking
at
opportunities
for
people
when
they
have
contact
with
the
city,
particularly
when
they're
getting
the
resident
parking
permits
when
they're
registering
for
Boston
Public
Schools
people
come
into
contact
with
our
city.
A
lot
and
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
when
they're
doing
that,
that
we
give
an
opportunity
to
register
to
vote
that,
we
can
make
sure
that
more
people
are
doing
this.
H
Many
states
around
the
country
have
done.
This
have
made
it
easier
to
register
to
vote.
On
the
same
day,
voter
registration
wisconsin
has
had
same-day
voter
registration
since
1975,
and
there
is
no
way
as
we
sit
here
in
Faneuil
Hall,
where
we
really
the
beginning
of
American
democracy
that
we
should
not
be
talking
about
this
in
the
year
2017.
H
It's
something
that
we
need
to
do.
I
think
one.
It's
a
civil
rights
issue.
It's
a
human
rights
issue
that
people
should
be
able
to
access
the
ballot
box,
but
it's
also
good
policy.
We're
going
to
talk
about
being
a
representative
democracy
here
of
the
city
of
Boston.
We
need
to
make
sure,
there's
many
voices
of
our
there
on
Election
Day,
not
just
in
this
chamber,
not
just
at
committee
hearings,
not
just
at
community
meetings
but
on
Election
Day.
When
many
of
the
decisions
are
made,
we
need
to
be
doing
everything
we
can
for
that.
H
You
know
it's
just
as
an
example.
You
know
we.
We
talk
about
ways
to
increase
turnout,
maybe
people
be
energized
because
of
the
2016
election,
etc,
etc,
but
one
of
the
most-
and
this
actually
was
an
article
in
The
Globe.
Today
onif
was
in
the
hardcopy,
but
it
was
online
about
saying
that,
under
the
heading
of
things
that
work
same-day
registration
being
a
bonus
for
democracy,
you
know
in
Connecticut
last
year
an
additional
thirty
five
thousand
people
voted
and
they
were
able
to
register
on
the
same
day
judging
by
population.
H
That
would
be
seventy
thousand
in
Massachusetts.
That's
a
huge
number.
We
look
at
the
margins
in
our
state
I
think
we
need
to
be
doing
that
so
I
guess
right
now
is
that
we
look
at
opportunities
for
this.
There
are
ways
to
do
this
cost-effectively
ways
that
do
not
put
up
barriers
and
ways
to
make
sure
that
everyone
who
has
a
right
to
vote
in
the
city
of
Boston
is
going
to
do
that.
I'm,
certainly
hopeful
that
the
state
does
away
with
that
20-day.
H
Cutoff
and
the
state
does
move
differently
on
that,
but
what
they
do
or
not.
We
have
an
opportunity
one
to
examine
how
to
remove
that
just
for
the
city
of
Boston,
but
also
to
make
sure
people
have
a
better
and
easier
opportunity
registering
to
vote
so
look
forward
to
having
a
swift
hearing
on
this
and
hopefully
proposing
some
action
and
I.
H
J
You
very
much
madam
chair
and
I
want
to
again
compliment
my
colleague
councillors.
They
come
for
his
work
in
this
space
in
the
90s
I
actually
was
at
the
University
of
New
Hampshire
and
the
first
time
I
voted
off
president
was
same-day.
Voter
registration
I
find
it
odd
that
we
live
in
a
day
and
age
where
you
can
go
and
open
a
bank
account
today
put
in
money
and
actually
take
it
out
in
the
same
day,
but
our
democracy
doesn't
work
that
efficiently.
J
I
think
the
the
flow
that
we
should
have
and
government
should
move
at
the
speed
of
business,
but
also
at
the
speed
of
democracy.
Our
most
valuable
franchise
is
to
be
able
to
vote,
and
we
should
not
stand
in
the
way
of
that.
The
courts
have
already
said
now
that
there
is
an
impediment
here.
We
should,
instead
of
going
back
to
making
it
19
days
or
18
days,
we
should
step
up
and
actually
take
a
stand
as
a
council
and
invite
folks
in.
J
We
also
know
that
there
are
hundreds
of
thousands
of
young
people
who
who
come
here,
who
have
MS
many
of
them
who
are
eligible
to
vote
and
don't
know
that
that
they
are
eligible
so
same-day.
Voter
registration
is
a
valuable
part
of
democracy
and
enfranchisement
in
the
city
and
I
would
even
go
further
to
say
that
the
automatic
aspects
of
this
in
the
opt-out
component
that
councillors
they
can
brought
up
it's
something
that
we
should
also
really
think
about.
J
I
I
went
to
school
in
New,
Hampshire
I,
don't
want
us
to
be
behind
them
in
terms
of
voting
accessibility
and
so
I
definitely
want
to
make
sure
that
we
push
forward
strongly
and
swiftly
on
this.
While
we
have
this
opportunity,
I
think
that
city
of
Boston
has
an
opportunity
to
lead
in
the
state
on
this.
Please
that
my
name
thank
you.
Thank.
L
A
B
C
Happens
when
a
new
development
comes
into
one
of
our
districts,
we
work
with
the
developers
who
work
with
the
community.
We
often
ask
the
more
affordability.
We
often
will
agree
to
certain
density
bonuses.
If
we
can
exceed
affordability,
affordability
limits,
we
often
work
to
make
sure
the
trees.
The
landscaping
look
great.
If
there's
commercial,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
local
and
non
profits
locally
owned
and
operated
businesses
get
a
shot
of
renting
one
of
those
spots,
all
good
things
all
important
things,
but
one
thing
that
we
have
left
and
I
say
collectively.
C
Out
of
this
conversation
has
been
making
sure
that
we're
building
the
most
energy-efficient
buildings
that
we
possibly
can
today
I'm
introducing
a
city
order,
which
is
the
first
in
a
very
long
series
of
steps
to
consider
the
benefits
of
Net,
Zero
Carbon
requirements
and
incentives
for
future
construction
in
the
city
of
Boston.
This
order
will
protect
the
health
of
residents
and
visitors,
as
well
as
the
city's
environmental
well-being
and
the
threat
of
global
climate
change.
It
will
commit
to
construction
constructing
buildings
in
which
all
carbon
emissions
are
offset
by
renewable
energy
production.
C
It
will
protect
the
long
term
environmental
health
of
the
city
by
ensuring
that
the
mayor's
commitment
to
carbon
neutrality
by
2050
recently,
the
Boston
Clean
Energy
Coalition,
reached
out
to
me
and
I-
know
many
of
you
to
call
attention
to
the
issue
of
harmful
environmental
impacts
of
residential
and
commercial
buildings.
They
asked
me
to
moderate
a
forum
in
Jamaica
Plain,
which
is
incredibly
well
attended,
where
we
learned
a
lot
to
see
what
some
other
cities
have
done.
C
We
also
learned
that
buildings
contribute
to
over
half
of
Austin's
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
can
be
alleviated
through
Net
Zero
Carbon.
This
Boston
is
quickly
becoming
susceptible
to
the
impact
of
climate
change,
with
rising
sea
levels
and
extreme
weather.
We
must
lead
in
coming
up
with
innovative
and
sustainable
solutions.
I
know
I
throw
a
lot
of
numbers
at
all
of
you
when
we
talk
about
these
issues,
but
here's
what
I
want
you
to
remember:
711
1000.
C
In
the
last
seven
years
we
have
had
11
major
weather
events
that
have
been
decided
that
have
been
called
one.
In
a
thousand
year
weather
events,
we've
had
seven
of
them
in
dime
series,
we've
had
11
of
them
in
the
last
seven
years.
Now
more
than
ever,
there's
a
lack
of
leadership
and
outright
hostility
in
Washington
DC,
hindering
efforts
to
combat
climate
change.
C
So
cities
are
once
again
leading
the
way
across
the
river
in
Cambridge
down
in
Austin
Texas
in
Fort
Collins
Colorado
in
Palo,
Alto
California
they've
already
begun
successfully
successfully
implementing
Net
Zero
strategic
plans
and
as
we
move
forward
in
the
construction
of
new
buildings,
we
should
not
only
consider
the
affordability
but
also
the
carbon
footprint
of
these,
as
well
as
other
things
that
make
buildings
good
for
every
environmental
issue.
I
work
on
I
always
reiterate
that
these
solutions,
not
only
good
for
the
environment
good
for
the
taxpayer
and
the
ratepayer.
C
Every
fiscal
conservative
ought
to
be
an
environmentalist
and
I'll
get
into
more
of
this
on
something
that
council
president
I
doing
a
little
bit
later
in
this
meeting.
But
suffice
it
to
say:
we've
already
seen
some
great
examples
in
the
South
End
Castle
Square
Apartments
were
built
as
the
future
of
energy
efficient
residential
buildings
in
2011
energy
retrofits
undergone
there
of
the
hundred
90
units
ended
up
reducing
the
energy
usage
by
72%.
C
The
complex
now
saves
nearly
a
quarter
of
a
million
dollars
in
annual
energy
savings
after
the
efficiency
upgrade
Boston
Medical
Center
right
down
the
street
from
us.
It's
another
example
of
an
institution
reducing
its
carbon
footprint,
BMC
plans
to
be
carbon
neutral
by
next
year,
2018.
It
has
already
reduced
its
emissions
by
20%,
just
through
heating
and
ventilation
upgrades
the
campuses
redesign
poses
to
save
up
to
twenty
five
million
dollars
annually
on
energy
and
operating
costs.
We've
seen
it
on
our
street
lights
that
are
now
energy
efficient.
C
We
saw
her
20
years
ago
when
people
started
buying
energy-efficient
light
bulbs
and
realizing
that
they
last
three
four
five
ten
times
as
long
as
the
old
CFC
ones,
we've
seen
it
with
low-flow
toilets,
we've
seen
it
with
mini
splits,
replacing
the
central
air
system.
There
are
things
that
we
can
do
that
are
better
for
construction
costs
and
also
better
for
the
environment.
This
is
the
first
in
a
long
step.
I
hope
we
will
have
be
able
to
have
a
hearing
in
relatively
short
order
and
then
begin
the
process,
but
we
cannot
wait
any
longer.
C
H
Councillor
O'malley
for
bringing
this
forward
I
just
want
to
say
I
know
about
you
were
there
with
me
just
yesterday,
madam
council
president,
along
with
a
state
Senate,
will
Brown's
burger
on
a
bit
of
a
March
rally,
sing
along
through
Back
Bay
and
with
the
environmental
activists
ranging
from
the
Sierra
Club
to
the
mothers
out
front
to
the
Neighborhood
Association,
the
Back
Bay
and
people
were
asking
us
about
this
measure
in
particular,
there's
a
lot
of
support
for
it.
A
lot
of
support
for
the
measure.
H
That's
coming
up
next
I'll
just
say
quickly
that
the
next
docket
number
has
my
support
as
well.
I'm
not
going
to
talk
on
both
of
them,
but
I
just
want
to
say
how
important
this
is
and
how
important
it
is
not
just
I
think
for
experts
and
for
hearings
and
etc.
But
this
is
something
that
people
are
talking
about
around
our
neighborhoods
right
now,
because
people
are
aware
of
those
staggering
statistics.
H
People
are
not
just
talking
about
trash
pickup
and
Public
Safety
and
the
typical
municipal
service
issues
that
we
often
that
we
spend
a
lot
of
our
time
on,
given
the
fact
that
the
federal
government
is
not
acting
at
all,
in
fact,
in
many
cases
acting
to
the
detriment
of
the
environment
in
our
future,
Council
O'malley
is
100%
correct
that
it's
on
cities
to
act,
I,
look
forward
to
participating
this
hearing
and
making
sure
that,
as
the
city
continues
to
grow,
we're
going
to
do
that
sustainably.
It's
great
that
we're
building
it's
great!
H
That
people
want
to
be
here.
It's
great
that
we
have
such
a
thriving
city,
but
we
need
to
be
thinking
about
what's
going
to
happen,
the
next
five
10
20
50
100
years-
and
this
goes
a
long
way
towards
that.
So
please
add
my
name
when
again
thank
the
sponsor
for
bringing
this
forward
and
it's
great
to
see
so
many
important,
forward-thinking,
environmental
dockets
on
the
agenda
today,
Thank
you
Thank
You,.
I
I
just
want
to
thank
councillor
Malley.
Do
you
want
to
sign
on
there's
no
saying
about
timing?
Is
everything
in
the
timing
is
now?
This
is
a
perfect
timing
for
this
order
to
move
forward
with
five
billion
dollars
where
the
shovels
in
the
ground,
as
we
speak,
and
another
three
billion
up
in
the
BPD
a
ready
to
go.
J
You
sign
on
sorry.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
want
to
thank
counselor
who
O'malley
I'm
sorry
about
that.
I
was
going
to
thank
Council,
McCarthy,
I
didn't,
but
I
want
to
thank
councilor
O'malley
for
his
steadfast
work
in
this
space.
We
need
to
be
a
NetZero
community
and
we
need
to
actually
lead
in
this
space.
This
has
to
go
into
our
development
plants,
our
zoning
code.
When
we
speak
about
Boston
2030
and
build
BPS.
This
has
to
be
the
overarching
mantra
to
the
future
of
the
city
of
Boston.
J
This
we
can
call
ourselves
a
progressive
city,
but
until
we
have
teeth
in
our
progressive
policies
and
then
we
are
not
where
we
need
to
be
and
I
want
to
thank
councillor
Malley
for
his
leadership
and
passion
about
all
things.
Environment
I
worked
for
Governor
Patrick
and
he
always
used
to
say
to
us
that
we
need
to
think
about
leaving
it
better
than
we
found
it,
and
this
is
a
critical
way
for
us
to
do
that.
I
also
think
there's
a
component
here
that
we
don't
think
of
this
is
job
creation.
J
But
buildings
are,
as
we
know,
the
places
that
they
that
this
actually
that
carbon
xscape
from
and
so
again,
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
plastic
bags
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
this
Net
Zero
component.
I,
look
forward
to
an
aggressive
timetable
for
this,
because
it
is
time
that
we
begin
to
save
the
future
of
the
city
of
Boston.
Thank
you,
please,
that
my
name
Thank.
A
You
councillor
Jackson,
madam
clerk,
please
that
councillor
Jackson's
name
and
now
please
add
councilor
Pressley
who's
that
counter
Linehan
councillor
la
mattina.
So
ii
was
added
previously
pleased
at
councillor,
sabi
George,
councillor
co-moh,
councillor
Campbell
and
councillor
Baker
in
councillor
Flair.
Do
you
have
the
floor?
Please.
F
Add
my
name,
and
also
through
you
to
the
maker
I'm,
assuming
it's
not
just
new
construction
that
we're
also
considering
renovations
and
rehabs,
particularly
given
that
we'll
have
CPA
funds
coming
our
way
to
help
assist
that
and
just
asked
again
through
the
chair
that
the
maker
consider
inviting
Boston
Landmarks
Commission
to
attend,
given
that
many
times
that
when
folks
are
renovating
in
making
some
repairs,
landmarks
oftentimes
will
inject
themselves
in
the
equation
and
it
would
be
nice
to
have
their
perspective
as
we're.
Moving
forward
on
this
issue.
Great.
L
A
You,
mr.
vice
president,
this
is
a
perfect
segue
into
our
next
step
that
we're
discussing
one
more
additional
tool
that
the
city
of
Boston
could
implement
right
away
to
fight
climate
change.
So
I
want
to
thank
Council
Malley
for
partnering
on
this.
We
are
excited
today
to
add
the
official
language
and
taking
our
hearing
order
from
several
months
ago
to
the
next
level,
we
had
a
hearing
back
in
April
on
the
idea
of
Community
Choice
energy,
also
known
as
municipal
aggregation.
Just
a
summary.
A
It
essentially
is
a
program
that
the
state
has
created,
along
with
six
other
states
across
the
country
that
empower
cities
to
make
local
energy
decisions
around
their
electricity
supply.
So
we
are
proposing
that
Boston
joined
the
98
other
Massachusetts
cities
and
towns
that
have
already
done
this
in
switching
off
of
the
default
eversource
plan
and
onto
a
new
plan
that
the
city
would
would
set
and
have
community
process
around.
The
benefit
of
doing
so
is
that
we
can
not
only
exercise
more
local
control
over
this,
but
also
add
a
green
component.
A
I
want
to
thank
the
administration.
The
mayor
has
been
such
a
strong
proponent
of
making
sure
that
Boston
is
right
at
the
forefront
nationally
of
green
policy
minutes
after
the
Paris
attack
chily.
Even
before
the
President
of
the
United
States
decision
to
withdraw
us
from
the
Paris
climate,
Accord
Boston
was
in
the
national
news
announcing
that
we
would
proceed
no
matter
what
we
have
plans
on
the
books
around
climate
change
and
our
aggressive
goals.
A
We
have
to
do
more
to
actually
reverse
climate
change,
so
this
program
is
about
us
taking
a
stand
and
saying
we're
not
going
to
cede
control
over
energy
policy
to
the
federal
level.
There
is
no
policy
happening
around
climate
change
at
the
federal
level
these
days
as
we've
talked
about.
So
this
gives
us
the
tool
to
do
even
more
than
required
by
DC
and
more
than
required
by
the
Statehouse
as
well.
A
We
are
proposing
with
the
language
to
have
Boston,
take
the
first
official
step
and
ask
for
bids
around
a
plan
that
would
increase
our
renewable
component
by
five
percent.
Some
early
estimates
suggest
that
that
would
mean
an
additional
20
megawatts
of
clean
energy
demand,
the
equivalent
of
20
of
those
large
wind
turbines,
so
we're
helping
the
environment
we're
doing
our
part
of
the
city,
but
we're
also
creating
green
jobs
and
trying
to
make
sure
those
those
jobs
are
local.
So
again,
there's
a
whole
lot
of
process.
A
After
this,
this
is
just
the
first
step
for
our
consideration.
We
would
have
a
hearing,
then
propose
this
for
a
vote
at
some
point.
If
there's
a
positive
vote,
then
there's
further
process
going
out
to
the
community
going
out
for
bid
involving
state
regulators,
but
we
ask
for
your
support
in
taking
the
first
official
step
on
this
important
policy.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
To
begin
by
thanking
the
council
president,
my
dear
friend,
it's
been
great
to
partner
with
you
on
this
and
so
many
important
initiatives.
I
will
be
brief
because
we
have
a
busy
afternoon
planned,
but
I
wanted
to.
Let
you
all
in
on
a
little
secret.
The
city
of
Boston
has
won
a
number
of
awards
for
being
environmentally
courageous
and
shown
showing
leadership,
and
the
secret
is
that
we
really
don't
deserve
it
yet,
but
we
can
and
a
great
first
step
to
do
that
will
be
passing
Community
Choice
energy.
C
This
is
something
that
has
been
worked
to
great
success
in
other
cities
throughout
the
Commonwealth
and
really
throughout
the
world
and
you're,
seeing
so
much
of
what
has
happened
as
a
result
of
this
administration
as
a
result
of
the
United
States
pulling
out
of
the
Paris
Accords
Arizona,
a
state,
that's
not
known
for
being
particularly
environmentally
audacious,
has
signed
a
similar
there.
Governor
the
Republican
governor
has
signed
a
similar
piece
of
bulk
purchasing
through
the
state
that
will
get
to
50%
energy,
renewable
energy
sources
from
wind
and
solar.
C
In
so
many
cases
it
is
so
much
less
expensive
to
do
so.
We've
seen
Chile
going
to
some
exorbitant
percentage
of
renewable
energy
sources.
We've
seen
India
mandating
that
in
the
next
14
or
20
years,
I
forget
what
the
number
is.
They
will
have
a
hundred
percent
electric
vehicles,
we're
seeing
cities
and
towns
and
states
and
countries
lead-
and
this
is
where
it's
up
to
all
of
us.
C
Skeptics
will
say
that
this
is
going
to
cost
ratepayers
more
money
and
we
should
blanch
at
this
thing
and
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
they're
certain
example:
certain
instances
where
it
could
cost
more
money
just
visit,
there's
certain
times
where
it
will
cost
less
money,
but
there's
also
safeguards
in
place.
That
melrose,
for
example,
just
use
which
opted
into
CCA
is
putting
the
pause
button
on
for
now,
because
so
there
are
things
that
we
can
do
to
effect
real
change
while
protect
our
ratepayers.
Thank
you
again,
council
president,
for
your
leadership.
C
P
J
J
Community
Choice
energy
is
simply
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
it
is
the
right
time
to
do
it,
but
we
also
must
lead
as
a
city,
and
so
we
can't
ask
the
private
sector
to
do
things
that
we're
not
doing,
and
so
it
is
critical
that
the
city
of
Boston
use
the
resources,
the
significant
resources
that
we
have
that
come
from
the
people
to
do
what
is
right
by
the
people.
Typically,
we
are
using
our
bully
pulpit,
but
this
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
use
our
dollars.
J
That
makes
sense,
and
it's
about
time,
that
we
stop
talking
about
these
concepts
and
actually
do
something
about
it
and
I
agree
with
counsel
O'malley.
We
can't
get
the
kudos
and
the
pat
on
the
back,
yet
it
is
a
requirement
that
we
put
forward
legislation
to
actually
do
right
by
by
us
by
the
people
of
the
city
of
Boston.
I
would
note
when
we
think
about
cost.
There
are
several
fold
bottom
lines
to
cost.
J
We
have
to
lead
nationally,
but
we
have
to
lead
because
we
are
a
coastal
city
and
this
will
affect
us
quicker,
faster
and
more
in
a
more
extreme
fashion
on
than
other
cities.
So
I
look
forward
to
working
on
this.
Please
add
my
name
and
again
thank
you
for
the
leadership
of
President
Wu
as
well
as
councillor
O'malley.
You
Thank
You,.
P
Q
Propose
an
ordinance
to
provide
for
safe
disposal,
sharks
first
I'd
like
to
thank
Christine
O'donnell
from
central
staff
for
all
for
help
on
this.
As
this
is
the
first
ordinance
we
file
Christine's,
been
an
incredible
asset
to
my
office
and
I'm
sure
there
will
be
more
to
come
for
this
process,
but
I
just
want
to
thank
Christine
early
on,
because
they're
going
to
ask
for
more
help
going
forward.
Q
There
isn't
a
corner
of
the
city
that
they
haven't
been
to.
This
small
team
does
amazing
work.
Not
only
cleaning
up
lead
needles
that
they
find,
but
also
acting
as
de-facto
outreach
workers
connecting
with
people
and
directing
them
to
services
across
the
city.
I
was
proud
to
advocate
for
increased
resources
for
this
team
and
I'm
grateful
that
the
fiscal
year
18
budget
was
able
to
double
the
size
and
the
capacity
of
this
mobile
sharp
scene.
But
the
reality
is,
we
need
to
do
more
and
we
need
more
help.
Q
Pharmacies
directly,
profit
from
the
sales
of
sharks
and
it's
time
that
they
start
contributing
to
the
solution.
One
of
the
things
I've
learned
throughout
this
process.
That
is
that
there
are
lots
of
reasons
why
someone
may
use
sharps
legally
many.
Maybe
they
need
it
for
their
pets
or
maybe
they
need
it
for
home
medical
treatment.
My
father
had
diabetes
a
disease
whose
numbers
are
soaring
and
I.
Q
Remember
him
putting
his
used
insulin,
needles
and
coffee
containers
and
the
city
needle
exchange
program
has
gotten
calls
from
those
that
are,
you
know,
having
diabetes
or
suffering
from
chronic
medical
conditions,
but
also
from
pet
owners
whose
cats
and
dogs
require
some
sort
of
injectable
medication.
But
clearly
we
have
a
problem.
Retail
pharmacies,
all
over
the
city
sell
these
needles,
but
the
entire
city,
but
in
the
entire
city
of
Boston
there
are
only
nine
locations
where
you
can
dispose
of
them
safely
and
for
free.
Q
We
need
to
do
more
to
make
that
easier
and
make
safe
disposal
much
more
available.
This
ordinance
will
do
exactly
that.
First,
it
requires
pharmacies
to
take
back
the
used
shops
that
they
sell.
Second,
it
requires
that
when
pharmacies
sell
and
distribute
sharps,
they
include
verbal
and
written
instructions
about
how
to
safely
dispose
of
them,
which
will
certainly
raise
public
awareness.
Third,
it
asks
pharmacies
to
inventory
the
sharps
that
they
collect
and
provide
that
information
to
the
City
of
Boston.
Last,
it's
erect
revenue
from
the
fines
to
the
mayor's
office
of
recovery
services.
Q
I
know
that
this
increase
in
tract
litter
I
know
that
the
increase
in
trapped
litter
is
a
direct
result
of
the
opioid
crisis
and
that,
if
we
didn't
have
this
crisis,
that
we
wouldn't
have
a
problem
to
this
same
scale,
but
this
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction
that
will
both
raise
awareness
and
improve
access
to
free
and
safe
disposal
of
sharps.
For
everyone
in
the
city,
I
believe
that
we
need
to
take
this
action
where
we
can,
including
this
step,
I,
look
forward
to
an
expedited
and
productive
process.
Thank
you,
Thank
You

Thank.
A
H
You,
madam
president,
this
speaks
for
itself
in
the
docket
description.
This
we
passed
an
order
earlier
in
the
summer
for
a
smaller
grant
amount,
and,
surprisingly,
very
surprisingly,
I
would
say.
Under
the
current
climate,
the
HUD
has
awarded
us
several
hundred
thousand
dollars.
More
so
I
think
it
is
in
the
interests
of
this
body
and
in
our
city
to
pass
this
order
for
the
amended
amount
so
that
this
money
can
quickly
get
into
the
hands
of
the
folks
at
DND
put
to
work
to
help
our
city
Thank.
You
Thank
You,.
