Description
Docket #0914 - Appropriation of $8M from the Fiscal Year 2018 Community Preservation Fund for projects from Community Preservation Committee
A
See
a
woman
from
the
Community
Preservation,
what
we
call
I!
Guess
it's
the
Department
as
well
as
any
handy,
and
also
we
have
Sam
Tyler,
so
we're
gonna
get
right
into
it.
So
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
Christine
pothe
to
make
an
introduction
state
your
name
and
affiliation
for
the
record.
The
folks
most
of
folks
in
the
gallery
know
who
you
are,
but
folks
may
be
watching
at
home.
Do
you
know.
C
Thank
You
councillor
Flaherty
and
members
of
the
City
Council,
my
name
is
Emma
handy
I
am
the
chief
of
administration
and
Finance
and
the
CFO
for
the
city
of
Boston.
As
you
are
aware,
in
November
of
2016
Boston
adopted
the
community
Preservation
Act,
which
created
the
community
preservation
fund
to
support
projects
in
the
areas
of
affordable
housing,
historic
preservation
parks
and
open
space.
The
fund
is
capitalized
primarily
by
a
1%
property
tax
based
surcharge
on
residential
and
business
property
tax
bills
that
began
in
July
2017.
C
The
ANF
cabinet
has
been
charged
with
leading
implementation
of
the
CPA,
and
that's
done,
as
you
mentioned,
under
the
leadership
of
Christine
Poth.
The
pilot
program
which
we
announced
this
spring,
has
allowed
us
to
begin
funding
critical
projects
in
neighborhoods
across
Boston,
which
has
provided
us
with
the
opportunity
to
evaluate
and
improve
the
CPA
process
for
future
funding
rounds.
The
city
is
committed
to
an
open
and
transparent
process
for
awarding
CPA
funding,
and
we
believe
that
that
is
represented
here
in
this
pilot
round.
C
We
have
conducted
a
review
of
all
of
the
applications
modeled
after
some
of
the
good
lessons
that
we
learned
in
our
budget
process.
The
same
criteria
was
used
for
each
project
to
ensure
that
it
was
fair
and
transparent,
and
we
involved
many
city
departments
in
in
reviewing
these
applications.
The
office
of
budget
management,
the
parks
department
at
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development
all
contributed
their
expertise
to
reviewing
applications
and
helped
us
to
understand
what
exactly
the
projects
were
and
how
we
could
execute
them.
C
We
looked
at
projects
that
aligned
with
imagined,
Boston,
2030
and
departmental
capital
plans,
ensure
that
they
are
shovel
ready
and
off
and
will
not
plant
existing
departmental
investments.
The
city's
law
department
also
reviewed
projects
to
make
sure
that
they
met
cpa
funding
requirements
and,
as
a
result
of
this
review
process
and
the
CPC's
subsequent
review
and
recommendations,
the
mayor
is
recommending
35
projects
which
total
over
8
million
dollars
of
funding
in
the
spring
pilot
round.
C
The
projects
span
all
three
areas
of
eligibility,
affordable
housing,
historic
preservation
and
parks
and
open
space,
and
they
serve
a
variety
of
needs
and
will
have
a
broad
and
positive
impact
on
the
neighborhoods
across
our
city.
I'd
like
to
thank
the
Community
Preservation
Committee
for
their
work
and
their
support
during
this
pilot
phase
and
in
particular,
I'd
like
to
thank
Christine
Puffs,
who,
who
again
has
been
leading
this
for
the
city
and
I,
will
turn
it
over
to
her
to
talk
more
about
what
this
pilot
round
looks
like.
B
B
It
was
based
on
the
needs
that
people
presented
that
they
needed
support
for
for
their
projects,
but
also
we
wanted
to
show
a
lot
of
model
projects
so
that
community
members
who
are
thinking
about
what
kind
of
project
they
might
propose
for
funding
could
see
the
wide
range
of
things
that
CPA
can
support
among
those
that
came
in
our
smallest
request.
First
for
$2,000
and
our
largest
was
for
500,000,
which
was
the
limit
that
the
committee
put
on
this
round
of
funding.
B
We
had
20
historic
preservation,
projects,
six,
affordable
housing
projects,
23
open
space
applications
and
nine
blended.
The
committee
chose
to
just
prioritize
or
really
focus
on
ones
that
touch
two
categories,
so
an
historic
park,
for
instance,
or
a
project
that
covers
both
historic
preservation
and
parks
or
affordable
housing
and
open
space.
We
had
of
those
that
were
not
funded.
Many
were
not
eligible,
they
weren't
shovel-ready,
they
weren't
funding
a
gap.
B
There
was
other
funding
there,
they
weren't
legally
eligible
under
the
state
law,
and
some
were
just
policy
questions
that
the
city
count
that
the
committee
had
not
wrestled
with
yet
like
a
community
garden,
that's
locked
all
the
time.
So
there
isn't
public
access
and
concern
about
the
state,
anti
aid
law
so
that
helped
us
win.
Oh
this
pilot
program
down
and
the
committee
will
be
wrestling
with
some
of
those
sort
of
policy
questions
as
they
go
forward.
B
We
had
almost
every
single
neighborhood
represented,
except
for
Mountain
in
the
final
recommendations,
except
for
Mattapan
and
Charlestown,
where
we
didn't
get
applications,
but
we
are
working
with
those
communities
in
the
hopes
that
that
will
change
for
next
time
around
and
I
think
that's
enough.
I
will
be
here
and
would
be
happy
to
answer
more
process.
Questions
at
the
end
after
community
members
get
to
speak.
These
are
both
in
the
audience.
B
A
Much
Thank
You
Shane.
It
was
a
pleasure
to
work
with
you.
Obviously
in
case
the
first
impression
having
been
a
longtime
supporter
of
the
initiative
and
it
finally
passed
by
the
voters-
and
it
was,
it
was
an
exciting
time
for
us.
They
can't
be
able
to
get
an
infusion
of
funds
for
affordable
housing
for
open
space,
historic
preservation.
So
we're
excited
about
that.
B
D
Thank
You.
Mr.
president,
mr.
chairman
and
members,
my
name
for
the
record
Sam
Tyler,
president
of
the
Boston
Medical
Research
Bureau,
we're
not
involved
in
any
proposals
or
making
recommendations.
I
roll
with
the
CCPA
really
has
been
to
be
sort
of
an
outside
group
that
watches
and
and
mates.
We
issued
a
report
on
the
CP
egg
and
what
that
would
mean
in
terms
of
acceptance
what
the
cost
would
be
where
the
money
would
come
from
and
I
think
that
was
helpful
with
just
basic
information
that
helped
the
voters
in
making
their
decisions
we
have
followed.
D
The
process
will
continue
to
follow
process.
We
are
pleased
with
the
transparency
that
we
have
seen
both
in
terms
of
the
selection
of
the
at-large
members,
that
is,
the
City
Council's
responsibility
and
the
fact
and
the
work
that
you
know
the
director
Mandir
took
before
the
count
or
the
CPC
was
actually
created
and
it
took
a
while
for
the
administration
to
finalize
its
decision.
So
having
the
director
be
able
to
begin,
the
work
I
think
was
very
helpful
so
that
the
committee
went
it
was
in
place.
D
We
weren't
able
to
move
quickly
and,
as
was
said,
this
is
a
pilot
round
and
meant
to
be
quick
because
you
know,
as
Christine
said,
there's
the
voters
have
been
as
well
as
businesses
that
pay
62%
of
the
total
cost
of
the
CPA.
You
know
they've
been
paying
for
a
while
and
it's
important
to
them
to
see
the
advantages
of
the
CPA
and
so
19-day
votes
have
been,
projects
have
been
accepted
for
19
neighborhoods
and,
as
has
been
said,
the
only
two
that
warrant
is
because
there
wasn't
a
proposal
submitted.
I.
D
Think
that
you
know
the
idea
of
getting
in
and
out
quick
shovel-ready
caps
of
500,000
in
our
calculation
and
I'll
explain
a
little
bit
more
of
that
later.
But
you
know
there's
three
affordable
housing
projects
that
represents
about
18%,
almost
19%
of
the
of
the
dollars,
there's
16
historic
preservation,
projects
and
16,
open
space
projects,
all
totaling
up
a
little
over
8
million
dollars
and
the
one
I
guess
the
one
thing
that
we
didn't
expect
and
I'm
not
sure
we
necessarily
support,
but
is
the
blended
project
idea
I,
think
it's
for
transparency
sake.
D
D
You
know
that
if
you're
making
sure
you've
got
the
10%
that's
allocated
how
much
is
going
to
be
spent
from
each
of
those
I.
Think
that
would
simplify
and
make
it
more
transparent,
but
altogether
I
mean
I
think
the
process
has
gone
well.
You
know
the
35
projects
representative
vast
difference
of
purposes,
but
all
that
will
improve
the
quality
of
life
in
the
19
neighborhoods
that
are
covered
here
and
I.
Think
it's
off
to
good.
A
Thank
you
very
much
say
my
I'm,
a
possession
of
a
letter
from
our
colleague
who
was
here
damaged
from
City
Council
AMD.
Mr.
chairman
I
was
present
and
had
intended
to
participate
in
the
hearing,
given
that
the
previous
hearing
started
lasted
40
minutes
longer,
I
had
to
leave
in
order
to
attend
a
prior
commitment.
A
I'll
review
the
videotape
I'm
excited
that,
after
years
of
hard
work
by
so
many
CPA,
funds
are
finally
becoming
available,
and
particularly
a
very
pleased
to
see
and
support
the
Vilna
shul
and
Beacon
Hill
and
the
Johnson
gates
in
Fenway
on
the
list
of
projects.
Here.
My
colleagues
have
say
like
a
30-second
just
as
a
professional
courtesy,
because
we're
running
so
late
and
because
so
many
folks
from
the
public
have
taken
time
out
of
their
schedules,
and
this
hearing
was
delayed.
A
40
minutes
I'll
defer
if
anyone
wants
to
give
a
20-second
shoutout
to
a
project
in
their
district
other
than
that
we're
gonna
continue
to
get
right
into
it.
Anybody
great
awesome,
thank
you.
Kathy
Kohner
writer,
Swiss
Kathy
Kathy,
come
on
down
you're
gonna
talk
about
your
project.
First
historic
Boston.
Inc
project
is
up
UM's
comfort
station
sip
in
spoke.
It's
in
Dorchester
so
feel
free
to
stay
with
us,
Christine
and
Emmie.
You
can
Kathy
right
there
from
the
Kathy
Kathy
from
the
podium
right
over
there
in
the
corner
see
it.
E
A
G
Thank
You
Christine
and
thank
you,
council,
Flaherty
I,
just
quickly
wanted
to
thank
the
awesome
Christine,
who
continues
to
run
around
and
and
do
great
work
when
it
comes
to
implementing
the
CPA.
I
know
that
some
of
the
biggest
concerns
that
the
community
had
when
we
were
pushing
this
was
ensuring
that
the
process
was
transparent,
accessible,
that
people
got
information
in
real
time
Christine.
You
really
deserve
incredible,
frankly,
in
a
round
of
applause
for
the
hard
work
that
you
did.
G
H
G
A
You,
madam
president,
so
Kathy
we
have
35
proposals.
I'm,
just
gonna!
Ask
that
you
try
to
be
as
succinct
as
possible.
We
also
have
three
pages
of
public
testimony
so
that
we're
not
here
til
10
o'clock
at
night,
if
you
could
just
be
as
quick
and
brief
as
possible,
but
also
giving
us
the
summit
substance
of
that
great
project
that
we're
going
to
be
supporting
as
part
of
a
CPA.
So
let.
F
Me
begin
by
saying
thank
you
to
you,
the
counselors,
as
well
as
my
colleagues
and
the
director
of
the
program,
Christine
and
and
others
who
have
made
so
much
effort
in
passing
this
and
making
it
a
reality.
So
we
are
delighted
to
be
part
of
the
reality
today.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
consideration
and
the
project
that
I
represent
is
the
eopns
corner
comfort
station.
F
It's
a
very
unfortunately
deteriorated,
building
in
uplands
corner
right
in
the
business
district
from
1912
public
restrooms
in
the
days
where
people
believed
in
that,
and
yet
it
has
not
been
used
since
1977
and
has
been
really
a
drain
on
the
neighborhood.
We
are
proposing
to
redevelop
it
as
a
bicycle:
repair,
shop
and
coffee
shop
for
the
neighborhood
under
the
auspices
of
an
entrepreneurial
entrepreneur,
Noah
Hicks
de
amor,
who
has
been
cultivating
this
for
many
many
years
and
really
needed
a
partner
to
be
a
real
estate
developer,
essentially
to
do
that
in
historic
Boston.
F
Does
that
work
and
is
putting
this
back
into
use
for
that
purpose?
It
is
a
1.4
million
dollar
project
very
expensive
for
what
it
is,
but
it's
essentially
a
rebuild
of
a
building
that
is
in
very
tough
shape.
I'm
pleased
to
report
that,
as
of
this
morning,
we
have
all
but
the
approvals
on
this
funding
to
proceed
with
this
project.
And
yet
we
fully
anticipate
that
if
this
moves
forward
we'll
be
ready
to
get
in
the
ground
in
July.
A
Thank
You
Kathy
Kathy
stay
with
us
any
questions
of
my
colleagues
on
Kath
on
from
Kathy
with
historic
boss.
Any
questions
very
good.
Thank
you
and
I,
see
father
Casey,
so
I
know
finally
gets
pretty
quick
sermon,
so
I'm
sure
it
probably
very
brief
in
his
presentation,
but
but
father
Casey
from
st.
Brigid's
and
also
the
project
is
st.
Augustine's
Chapel
in
South,
Boston,
so
and
also
he's
joined
by
Marty
key
or
the
very
able
and
trusted
sort
of
funny
you've
multi-talent
field
for
both
st.
pierre
didn't
get
to
have
in
paris.
I
We'll
be
brief,
the
purpose
of
our
project
is
to
provide
a
much
needed
historical
restoration
to
San,
Agustin,
Chapel
and
Cemetery.
Prior
to
the
200th
anniversary
celebration
being
held
on
September
15th
of
this
year,
the
funds
will
go
toward
the
restoration
of
the
existing
wrought
iron,
fencing
and
add
perimeter
fencing.
We
also
have
a
lot
of
other
work
to
complete
and
we
have
been
fundraising
internally
for
that.
The
restoration
will
have
a
huge
impact
to
our
community.
St.
I
Augustine's
is
the
oldest
Catholic
institution
in
New
England
and
one
of
the
oldest
cemeteries
in
Boston
because
of
its
significance
to
South,
Boston
neighborhood
and
the
city
of
Boston.
These
historical
repairs
are
essential
to
the
longevity
of
the
historic,
chapel
and
cemetery
grounds.
It
will
enable
our
congregation
and
visitors
to
enjoy
the
chapel
and
cemetery
forever
I.
J
Just
want
to
say
thank
you,
first
of
all,
from
our
parish
community
of
st.
Augustine's,
it's
a
community
of
a
small
group
of
congregants
that
worship
every
weekend,
as
well
as
being
a
spiritual
home
for
many
weddings
and
funerals
and
baptisms
for
people
in
the
South
Boston
area.
We
also
have
a
monthly
mass
for
members
of
the
disabled
community
with
the
simon
of
cyrene
society.
The
chapel
also
hosts
many
concerts
and
recitals
and
artists
events
and
to
the
many
South
Boston
historic
societies,
meetings
and
speakers.
J
The
cemetery
grounds
are
open
daily
for
people
to
visit,
and
it's
always
nice
to
see
one
of
the
descendants
of
many
of
the
those
who
are
buried
at
the
cemetery
to
come
and
for
the
first
time
through
genealogical
discovery,
see
the
the
grave
of
their
great-great
grandparents
and
it's
a
always
a
special
thing
to
witness
that
first
encounter
with
these
people
have
been
back.
Probably
a
hundred
years
later.
The
beginnings
of
the
Catholic
community
of
Boston
goes
back
over
200
years
and
it
is
very
much
tied
to
this
community
of
st.
J
Augustine
chapel
and
this
historic
property.
So
we
thank
the
CPA
committee,
the
City
Council
and
the
mayor
for
their
efforts
in
making
sure
that
the
historic
church
buildings
that
have
a
rich
history
will
continue
to
be
enjoyed
by
the
citizens
of
Boston
through
CPA
funding.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Thank.

Church
and
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
committee
for
having
us
and
I'd
like
to
definitely
thank
the
CPA
committee
for
their
attention
to
Roxbury
Presbyterian
Church.
Our
project
basically
revolves
around
repairs
that
need
to
be
done:
a
restoration
to
the
doors,
the
windows
roof
leaks
as
well
as
masonry
work
about
2008.
K
In
addition
to
that,
because
of
the
weather
that
we
have
experienced
over
the
past
years,
we
have
many
many
roof
leaks
that
we
are
looking
to
get
repaired
and
we
can,
as
far
as
eliminating
the
leaks,
one
of
the
Astra
buttes
or
the
main
focus
of
Roxbury
Presbyterian
Church,
is
that
it
is
a
community
church
and
as
a
result
of
that,
a
lot
of
our
neighbors.
We
have
a
neighborhood
group
that
meets
at
the
church.
K
On
Thursdays
to
have
an
opportunity
to
deal
with
the
trauma
that
they
are
experiencing,
so
this
is
very
important
that
the
restoration
that
we
do
at
Roxbury
pres
and
as
a
result
of
the
the
385
thousand
dollars
that
we
have
gotten
that
this
moves
towards
doing
the
repairs
that
we
need.
So
we
are
thankful
to
the
CPA
and
we're
thankful
to
each
and
the
mayor
and
all
who
have
listened
to
us.
K
I'd
also
like
to
mention
the
fact
that
I
know
I'm
running
over,
but
anyway,
I
want
to
mention
the
fact
that,
because
of
the
Strummer,
the
trauma
program
that
we
have,
we
are
in
fact
helping
not
only
those
who
have
experienced
trauma,
but
in
a
number
of
ways
we
have
a
number
of
programs
that
come
to
our
church.
Be
it
the
yoga,
be
it
healing
through
writing.
K
L
Good
afternoon
catalysis
of
flower,
tea
I'm,
the
very
proud
principal
the
James
Otis
elementary
school
in
East
Boston
I,
brought
with
me
today,
three
of
our
students,
as
well
as
our
parents,
who
are
so
grateful
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
regarding
the
ODA
schools.
This
is
currently
what
the
otis
school
looks
like,
and
these
three
young,
ladies
will
be
speaking
about
what
we
hope
we
get
approved
for
the
James
out
of
school.
So
thank
you.
M
M
Playground
would
let
us
a
playground,
would
let
us
play
together
and
learn
to
take
turns
everyone
at
my
school
is
talking
about
wanting
a
playground,
because
we
work
hard
in
school.
The
James
Otis
school
is
the
only
Elementary
School
in
East
Boston
that
doesn't
have
a
playground.
I
have
been
waiting
for
a
playground
for
five
years.
I
really
need
your
help.
Other
kids
in
the
community
will
be
welcome
to
come
and
play
in
the
playground.
A
So
do
any
of
you
want
to
run
for
the
Boston
City
Council
at
some
point.
That's
my
seat
and
that's
council
Flynn
see
that's
counselor
Janie
see,
so
we
just
gotta
keep
our
eye
on
you
guys.
So
welcome
to
the
Boston
City
Council.
Thank
you
for
your
input.
It
looks
like
a
great
project
and
I
think
we're
gonna
be
happy
to
support
that
on
Wednesday
meeting.
So
so
congratulations,
girls!
You
did
a
nice
job.
A
N
O
It's
gonna
be
tough
to
top
that
Billy

I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
Harry
McDonough
ceiling,
Center
in
South
Boston
and
Castle
Island
I
rap.
Thank
you
for
having
us
I
appreciate
the
time
our
application
was
for
a
new
dock.
These
pictures
show
the
damage
that
we
suffered
over
this
past
winter.
The
picture
on
the
right
is
the
existing
dock.
It's
sitting
about
eight
inches
lower
than
it
normally
would
cause
a
hazard
and
it's
unsafe.
O
This
is
a
dog
that
we
built
a
few
years
ago,
also
suffered
some
damage,
but
our
applications
for
a
new
dock
and
the
new
dock
comes
with
a
25-year
warranty.
It's
a
new
composite
plastic
that
that
will
allow
us
to
store
the
dark
over
the
winter.
To
avoid
this
from
happening
again,
the
hammock
down
is
handling
centers
in
its
47th
year.
It's
the
only
free
sailing
program
in
the
city
of
Boston
for
children.
It's
always
been
free
and
we're
hoping
that
you
can
give
us
the
support.
We
need
on
Wednesday.
P
Reiterate
what
mr.
Higgins
mentioned?
It's
a
sealing
program
that
helps
so
many
young
young
kids,
not
only
in
South
Boston
but
across
the
city,
and
they
do
a
wonderful
job,
mentoring,
young
kids
and
providing
great
great
skills,
great
services.
So
we're
proud
of
the
the
work
they're
doing
at
the
ceiling.

P
Q
Good
evening
welcome,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
this.
My
name
is
Reverend
Heinz
I'm,
the
pastor,
senior
pastor
of
the
Elliot
Congregational
Church
of
Roxbury.
This
lovely
young
lady
to
my
left
is
not
Vanna.
White
she's,
my
wife,
Erica
Miss
Barbara
fields
is
an
officer
in
our
church.
Our
building
dates
back
to
1873.
Q
It
is
home
for
our
church
community,
which
is
approximately
200
members
of
the
congregation,
also
a
home
of
a
tai
chi
program.
We've
got
valley
programs
in
the
building,
an
active
food
pantry,
a
number
of
elected
officials
use
the
building
for
meetings.
We
have
a
summer
program
in
which
we
employ
young
adults
for
the
summer
and
teens
we've
had
a
school
that
has
been
active
there
from
1992
to
2012
the
Elliot
educational
center
and
which
has
had
an
incredible
impact
on
a
number
of
young
people
throughout
throughout
the
city.
Q
We
have
three
entry
points
into
the
into
the
building
three
sets
of
stairs
and
stairs
that
allow
access
at
the
highest
elevation
of
the
building
are
deteriorating.
The
stairs
need
to
be
replaced.
That's
what
that's!
What
this
project
is
designed
to
complete
repairing
these
stairs?
The
stairs
are
not
only
used
by
people
entering
the
building,
but
the
stairs
are.
There's
a
bus.
Stop
located
right
in
front
of
the
stairs
a
bus,
T
stop
it's
located
in
front.
People
use
the
area
sort
of
as
a
deep
hole
their
children
play
on
the
stairs.
Q
Q
So
repairing
those
stairs
would
not
only
be
a
benefit
for
the
church
and
the
people
that
use
the
church
but
it'll
be
a
benefit
for
the
general
public
and
in
commuters
in
the
area
that
utilize,
the
stairway,
we're
home
being
actually
to
open
up
the
area
to
make
it
a
small
parklet
at
some
point,
so
that
it
could
be
a
more
accessible
public
space
and
and
more
of
a
benefit
to
the
community.
So
we're
excited
about
the
opportunity
to
have
the
stairs
repaired
not
just
for
ourselves
but
for
the
community
at
large.
A
R
A
You
thank
you,
I
know,
Tim
McCarthy's,
it
you
to
hear
from
we
grow
microgreens.
So
as
Lisa
R
Evans
here
who
is
Lisa.
If
Lisa
can
come
down,
cool-kid
sit
in
the
back.
We
grow
evergreens
paths
connected
to
the
urban
farm
in
High,
Park
and
read
villain.
If
you
could
just
state
your
name
in
a
affiliation
for
the
record,
and
you
guys
have
the
floor.
S
S
The
idea
is
that
it
will
connect
the
community
over
here,
the
rivo
community,
with
the
DCR
parks
on
the
other
side,
where
there's
a
ball
field,
a
playground
and
the
mother
Brook,
so
that
people
will
be
able
to
walk
from
the
neighborhood
over
to
the
parts
alongside
the
farm
stop
at
the
farm
stand
and
enjoy
the
beautiful
parks.
The
existing
conditions
are
as
follows:.
T
U
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
No
just
a
quick
comment
to
at
least
have
become
great
friends,
and
this
this
project,
literally
I,
could
hit
a
golf
ball
from
my
house
to
this
project,
and
I
grew
up
right
on
that
neighborhood
and
we
used
to
call
it
snake
field
and
trust
me
what's
in,
there
is
well
what
was
in
there
it's
now
removed
and
where
we
are
absolutely
I
cannot
wait
for
this
open
up.
S
A
V
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Marie
Fukuda
I'm
a
33
year
resident
of
the
East
Fenway
and
a
board
member
at
the
Fenway
CITIC
Association
Thank
You,
chair
flirty
and
council
members
for
affording
the
opportunity
to
speak
today,
I'm
here
to
describe
our
project
and
request
her
support
for
its
funding.
Our
request
is
for
$200,000
for
the
Westland
Avenue
Gateway
restoration
project
and
repairs
to
the
Johnson
Memorial
gates,
located
at
Hemingway
streets
in
Weston
Avenue
in
the
East
Fenway
neighborhood.
V
This
is
an
example
of
a
blended
project
covering
both
historic
preservation
of
the
Johnson
gates,
which
were
built
by
guy
Lowell
in
1902
and
needed
improvement
to
the
adjacent
historic
parkland
and
its
paths.
The
gates
were
deemed
a
most
endangered
resource
in
2014,
due
to
significant
structural
degradation
and
the
parkland
similary
similarly
has
remained
unrepaired
for
decades.
There
are
paths
going
through
the
park,
it's
ironic,
that
they
lead
to
wheelchair
accessible
building,
but
are
in
such
disrepair
that
they
cannot
be
crossed.
V
Our
organization
has
been
working
since
2008
to
affect
needed
improvements
and
advocated
incrementally,
as
conservation
assessments
for
the
monument
were
secured.
Funding
for
initial
repairs
received
an
advancement
to
a
city
Capitol
project
status
awarded.
If
conveyed
these
funds
secured
the
complete
stabilization
of
the
monument,
the
complete
restoration
of
the
park
and
the
greatly
needed
improvements
to
pathways
and
access
to
the
Back
Bay
fens.
V
We
see
this
project
as
a
poster
child
for
what
CPA
funds
can
do
for
communities
helping
realize
improvements
to
historic
structures
in
open
space
that
otherwise
would
remain
incomplete
for
neighborhoods
and
communities.
These
repairs
benefit
all
those
who
live,
work
and
visit
the
Fenway.
These
gates
are
truly
a
gateway
through
the
Fenway,
highly
visible
and
heavily
used.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak.
A
Questions
of
Maria
this
time
for
my
colleagues,
thank
you
very
much
Marie
for
your
presentation
and
look
forward
to
favorable
support
on
Wednesday
Ken
at
Crocker.
Maya
was
Ken
here.
Ken
I
can
welcome
Ken's
with
uses
south
in
house.
You
could
just
state
your
name
and
affiliation
for
the
record
and
you
have
the
floor.
W
Yes,
I'm
Ken
crocomire
I'm,
a
board
member
of
United
Self
and
settlements,
we're
here
with
a
proposal
to
do
repairs
to
the
roof
at
48,
Rutland
Street.
This
is
known
as
South
End
house
and
serves
more
than
100
children
every
day,
we're
because
of
a
roof
leak.
All
right
excuse
me
not
roof.
Lee,
yes,
because
of
a
roof
leak.
There
was
a
pipe
burst
in
January,
and
this
roof
repair
is
critical
to
our
being
able
to
restore
the
function
of
the
building
and
serve
the
children
in
the
south
end.
W
R
Yes,
just
to
affirm
so
I
had
the
pleasure
of
being
there
not
too
long
ago
for
for
a
meeting.
I
took
a
tour
of
the
space
beautiful
right
after
that
incident.
There
was
a
recent
incident
when
you
guys
were
opening
up.
I
was
also
there
over
the
weekend
for
the
south,
and
barbecue
certainly
would
put
in
my
two
cents
to
support
this
proposal.
W
P
Operating
Thank,
You
council
firing
I
just
want
to
echo
what
councilor
Janey
mentioned.
I
had
the
privilege
to
visit
on
Saturday
to
the
barbecue
with
my
wife
and
what
impressed
me
the
most
is
the
young
people
that
were
at
the
barbecue
that
guys
are
providing
excellent
services
for
so
it's
great
to
see
that
partnership
and
hard
work
determination
of
your
organization
so
be
proud,
just
proud
to
support
you
guys,
Thank.
H
X
Opportunity
to
be
with
me,
he
would
send
his
regrets.
Thank
you,
Barnett
castle,
the
executive
director
of
the
Vilna
shul.
Thank
you
very
much
to
all
the
city
councilors
that
are
here
located
on
the
North
Slope
of
Beacon
Hill
and
built
in
1919
as
an
Orthodox,
Jewish
synagogue.
The
Vilna
shul
today
is
a
community
center
arts
and
culture
destination
and
living
museum
with
nearly
10,000
visitors,
tourists
and
program
participants
annually.
It
is
not
a
fully
functioning
house
of
worship
at
all.
X
Briefly,
the
project
is
a
preservation,
restoration
and
modernization
program
for
the
historic
Vilna
shul.
The
building
was
basically
abandoned
and
structurally
condemned
in
the
mid
1980s
and
rescued
in
1995.
The
dream
for
almost
35
years
now
is
to
finally
and
fully
restore
and
modernize
the
building
for
its
second
century
of
life.
This
grants
request
specifically
addresses
the
costs
associated
with
the
accessibility
improvements
and
the
balance
to
do
so
in
concert
with
historic
preservation.
Most
importantly,
Universal
accessibility
is
essential
for
proper
public
access.
X
This
includes
physical
access
by
means
of
a
new
pedestrian
approach
on
the
east
side
of
the
building,
a
new
daily
entrance,
a
new
Welcome
Center
and
an
elevator
lift
to
get
up
to
the
second
floor.
It
also
includes
two
accessible
restrooms
to
be
located
in
a
nearly
1,000
square
foot,
subterranean
area
of
the
building
to
be
excavated
and
reclaimed
his
new
usable
space.
X
The
project
will
result
in
increase
ability
to
serve
a
diverse
local
community,
while
growing
museum
visitation
by
students
and
visitors
to
Boston
who
look
to
the
Vilna
for
a
unique
presentation
of
Boston
and
Beacon
Hill
history
and
the
immigrant
experience,
including
current
immigration
stories.
Visitors
to
the
Vilna,
including
almost
a
thousand
Greater
Boston
school
children
and
teachers,
are
learning
about
Boston's
immigration
experience
by
exploring
the
experience
of
the
Ville
the
founders
at
the
turn
of
the
20th
century,
as
well
as
the
historic
and
current
experiences
of
other
immigrants
past
and
present.
X
They
also
learned
about
the
rich
history
and
culture
of
both
Boston
and
specifically,
the
old
West
End,
upgraded,
expanded
spaces
will
support
increased
and
new
partnerships
already
underway
with
the
Museum
of
African,
American
history,
arts
week,
common
Boston,
local
film,
art
and
music
festivals,
and
many
more
and
I
would
just
simply
ask
the
council
to
support
all
35
of
the
worthy
projects.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
P
And
I'm
proud
to
have
the
Vilna
in
district
2
I've
talked
to
a
council
as
a
come
about
it,
although
I've
only
visited
twice
Council
as
they
come
talk
very
highly
of
your
organization
and
what
you
do
especially
helping
our
immigrant
community
so
proud,
proud
of
what
you
guys
are
doing
and
I
think
I'm
in
the
city.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
Y
Evening,
my
name
is
Betsy
groves
and
I
represent
Church
of
the
Covenant
and
Lucy
Williams
is
standing
beside
me,
another
member
of
Church
of
the
Covenant
and
holding
up
her
board.
So,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
be
here
tonight.
I
have
to
say
that
we
were
overwhelmed
with
surprise
and
delight
when
we
learned
that
we
were
finalists
for
this
competition,
and
we
are
grateful
for
this
opportunity.
Church
of
the
Covenant
is
located
on
Newbury
Street,
the
corner
of
Newberry
and
Berkeley
Street.
It
is.
Y
It
was
built
in
1865
in
2012.
It
received
national
landmark
status
for
its
intact
and
complete
tiffany
designed
interior
with
42
windows,
the
only
one
in
this
country,
and
possibly
the
only
one
in
the
world.
We
will
use
the
funds
for
critical
repairs
to
masonry
and
the
roof
on
the
side
of
the
church
that
runs
along
Newberry
Street,
and
you
can
see
it
on
the
board.
There
years
of
deferred
maintenance,
the
awful
snowstorms
of
2015
have
resulted
in
water
damage
and
penetration
in
many
parts
of
the
building.
Y
I
would
add
that
we
had
for
the
past.
15
years
worked
piece
by
piece
to
raise
funds
for
various
aspects
of
the
renovation,
and
this
opportunity
will
allow
us
to
complete
the
sealing
up
the
building.
It's
an
amazing
opportunity
for
us
in
terms
of
how
our
property
is
used
in
2017,
our
building
received
an
average
of
400
visitors
per
day.
It
is
used
seven
days
a
week
by
our
tenants,
by
the
congregation
and
by
visitors
to
our
sanctuary.
Our
three
major
tenants
are
the
women's
lunch
place,
the
gallery
Naga
and
Koro
Allegro
a
community
chorus.
Y
But
in
addition
to
that,
our
building
is
used
five
to
seven
times
a
week
for
a
and
al-anon
meetings.
We
have
many
concerts,
theater
productions,
the
Boston
book
festivals,
countless
numbers
of
nonprofit
group
meetings
in
our
church
building,
and
we
have
an
organized
program
to
open
the
sanctuary
to
visitors
from
all
over
the
world.
Last
year,
our
sanctuary
received
over
20,000
visitors,
so
the
build
to
say
that
it's
heavily
used
as
an
understatement.
So
what?
What
is
the
impact
for
us
and
for
the
community
I
think?
Y
First,
there
are
the
obvious
bricks
and
mortar
aspects
of
this
opportunity
for
us,
because
we
will
finally
have
a
Beall
a
building
that
is
sealed
to
the
elements
that
allows
us
to
protect
our
priceless
sanctuary
and
other
treasures
of
the
building
from
damage.
But
more
than
this,
it
allows
us
as
a
congregation
to
continue
our
work
in
the
city
of
Boston
our
work
with
marginalized
populations
and
with
the
social
issues
that
are
critical
to
this
city
as
a
congregation
for
decades.
Y
AA

We
appreciate
very
much
the
strong
support
from
Mayor
Walsh,
our
City
Council
Kim,
Janey
superintendent,
Tommy
Chang,
representative
Liz
Melia,
senator
Sonia
chang-diaz,
the
garrison
Crowder
Neighborhood
Association
and
380
parents,
teachers,
students
and
neighbors
that
sign
the
petitions
in
support
of
the
playground.
With
your
approval
of
the
Community
Preservation
Committee
recommendations,
we
will
proceed
immediately
on
the
next
steps
to
ensure
that
the
playground
is
ready
for
the
children
early
in
the
coming

This

AB
Good
evening
everybody,
my
name
is
Marie
Mullen
and
principal
of
the
Higginson's
school.
We
would
like
to
formally
thank
mayor,
Walsh
Superintendent,
Tommy
Chang
mr.
John
Hanlin,
mr.
Rob
can
solve
Oh
mr.
Jonathan
sprawl
and
the
school
committee
for
their
commitment
and
assistance
in
helping
the
Higginson
in
our
pursuit
to
build
a
playground
for
our
school
community.
AB
Our
school
opened
just
five
years
ago
and
serves
students
in
K
0
to
grade
through
with
and
without
disabilities,
including
English
language
learners
in
a
fully
inclusive
setting,
I
am
presenting
on
behalf
of
the
School
Committee
as
the
school
community.
As
we
begin
the
process
of
raising
awareness
for
our
need
for
a
playground,
recesses
of
is
vital
to
children's
social
and
physical
development.
There
are
multiple
studies
on
how
recess
impacts
student
learning
and
social
development.
Our
students
are
at
the
age
where
they
are
developing
social
and
physical
skills
required
for
lifelong
opportunities.
AB
A
playground
built
with
engaging
inclusive
structures,
equipment
and
materials
will
lead
to
student
inclusivity
and
engaging
experiences
for
students
to
build
positive
social
relationships.
We
are
hopeful,
we'll
have
a
playground
soon,
and
our
students
will
have
opportunities
to
engage
in
proposed
proposed
interactions
that
will
lead
to
global
developmental
success.
Thank
you.
Thank.

AC
Hello,
my
name
is
Paulo
Brazil
and
I'm.
The
strand
specialist
at
the
Higginson
inclusion
school
I
have
the
great
opportunity
to
work
with
all
the
children
and
during
unstructured
time
as
a
concerned,
staff
member,
oh
I,
should
say
what
the
Strand
specialist
does.
I
maintain
safety
encourage
children
to
use
healthy
positive
words,
kind
boards,
caring
words
and
I
also
facilitate
friendships
and
maintain
safety.
So,
as
a
concerned,
staff
member,
the
safety
of
all
students
is
a
daily
worry
without
a
playground
with
engaging
inclusive
structures,
equipment
and
materials.
AC
There
is
little
limited
opportunities
for
students
to
build
positive
social
relationships
with
limited
choices.
This
often
leads
to
conflict
and
situational
aggression.
We
are
hopeful,
we
will
have
a
playground
soon
and
our
students
will
have
opportunities
to
make
positive
choices,
engage
in
pro-social
interactions
that
will
eventually
lead
to
global
developmental
success.

A
N
This
is
a
eight
unit,
affordable,
homeownership
deal
that
offers
something
unique
that
we've
done
only
a
few
times
in
our
history,
but
it's
a
home
ownership,
rental
component,
so
it's
two
family
homes,
where
the
homeowner
will,
at
an
80%
of
affordability,
purchase
a
home
and
offer
at
a
60%,
restricted,
affordability,
level,
a
rental
opportunity
to
a
family
in
the
community
that
we
are
all
understanding
this
losing
housing
opportunities
for
for
many
many
Boston
residents.
So
we
are
just
incredibly
thankful
to
the
committee
to
Christine
for
her
tireless
efforts,
Christine
Christine
Chen
and
Erica
Rochelle.
N
My
colleagues
have
worked
tirelessly
with
the
community
and
many
of
the
butters.
We
are
very,
very
fortunate
and
Jamaica
Plain
to
have
such
a
strong
neighborhood
support
for
home
ownership
and
rental
housing,
and
so
we
just
are
again
thankful
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
to
have
the
council
consider
this
request.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
G
Thank
You,
council
Florida,
and
thank
you
guys
for
being
here.
It's
just
a
quick
comment:
one
home
ownership,
every
one
of
late
people
are
talking
about
that
and
the
need
for
that.
We
talk
about
affordable
housing.
Of
course
we
often
talk
about
in
the
context
of
renting.
So
thank
you
for
putting
forth
a
creative
proposal
and
I
see
dream
collaborative
is
listed.
There
I
think
it's
also
important.
It's
important
to
acknowledge
projects
that
have
folks
of
color
involved,
who
are
leading
firms
and
also
participating
in
these
proposals.
G
So
I
just
wanted
to
flag
that,
because
that's
important
to
the
committee-
and
it
was
important
to
many
folks
when
talking
about
setting
up
some
of
the
requirements
related
to
these
projects,
is
making
sure
that
there
was
equal
access
in
terms
of
vendors
contractors
and
making
sure
that
they
were
folks
of
color
and
women.
So
thank
you
very.
AD
AD
There's
lots
more
I
think
the
other
big
thing
was
some
time
in
towards
the
2000
into
2017.
We
had
a
fundraising
campaign
and
raised
$55,000
for
this
project,
so
we're
feeling
pretty
good
about
it
and
we're
really
excited
when
we
learned
about
the
CPA
funding
and
talk
to
Christine
about
the
possibilities
so
I'm
again,
we're
really
happy
to
be
here.
AE
So
thanks
everybody
just
to
show
the
impact
of
a
community
garden
in
Roslindale
that,
like
Greg
said
this
has
been
a
labor
of
love
for
a
number
of
years,
and
we
just
want
to
thank
you,
know:
Tim
McCarthy,
first
meeting
that
breakfast
with
Lee
talking
about
how
to
really
make
this
happen.
A
couple
of
years
ago,
also
Michelle
Wu
from
the
parks
department.
AE
We
have
Marshall,
we
have
Liza,
we
have
Chris
cook
we've
met
their
mayor
gave
his
support
and
a
letter
of
support
number
of
years
ago,
and
we
have
we
decided
to
do
this
ourselves
and
raised
a
fifty
five
thousand
dollars
with
matching
funds
from
the
mask
Development
Corporation
through
their
program.
And
so
now
we
are
here
to
say
that
the
city
of
Boston
has
200
community
gardens.
Rosendale
has
one,
and
we
would
like
to
make
that
double.
AE
This
would
come
with
accessible
raised
beds,
kids
gardens
an
open-access
community
area
that
would
be
put
down
new,
shrubs
new
trees,
a
new
path
that
goes
to
the
Archdale
housing
project
and,
just
like
our
neighbor
said,
600
neighbors
signed
40
neighbors
went
into
the
collaboration
of
this
planning
and
over
200
people
donated
to
that
campaign
that
we
round
that
we
rounded
up
so
just
want
to
say.
Thank
you
again
that
Rosendale
needs
to
this
garden.
AE
A
U
Quickly,
Greg
Sood
thanks
so
much
for
all
the
work
you
did.
As
we
said,
they
said,
we've
met
a
couple
years
ago
and
we've
been
you
guys,
have
really
been
pulling
the
strain,
though
it's
been
unbelievable
and
I
do
want
to
thank
the
administration.
You
know
Healy
field.
This
is
kind
of
the
cherry
on
top
of
a
culmination
of
a
ton
of
capital
resources
spent
by
the
safe
Lera,
T
pool,
no
relation
is
it.
It
could
be
probably
somewhere
down.
The
line.
U
Clarity
pulled
the
new,
the
new
playground
outside
of
Flaherty
pool
Little
League
field,
the
baseball
fields,
all
redone
places
gorgeous
and
now
this
is
gonna,
be
the
cherry
on
top
of
a
place
where,
if
you
don't
play
baseball
anymore,
you
have
a
place
to
go,
and
this
is
gonna,
be
wonderful,
so
I'm,
looking
forward
to
the
the
chair
passing
this
out
on
now
on
Wednesday.
So
thanks
again
for
all
your
hard
work.
S
AF
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
holding
this
hearing.
It's
pleased
to
be
here.
My
name
is
Gail
Latimer
I'm,
the
executive
director
at
Coppin
square
neighbor,
Development
Corporation
in
Dorchester,
and
we
are
here
to
ask
for
your
support
for
half
million
dollars
for
our
Talbot
Commons
phase
1
project.
This
is
a
40
unit,
affordable
rental
housing
project
located
in
Dorchester
right
near
the
Talbot
Ave
stop
on
the
Fairmount
Line,
so
we
will
be
creating
2019
new
units
and
renovating
21
existing
units
in
about
2
or
3
locations
right
near
the
commuter
rail
line.
AF
All
of
the
units
will
be
affordable
to
people
who
are
at
60%
of
area
median
income
and
below,
including
about
20.
Almost
25%
of
the
units
will
be
affordable
to
very
low
income
people
who
are
homeless.
So
we
are
pleased
to
have
gotten
the
support
of
president
Campbell
and
councilor
Pressley
as
well
as
Michelle
Wu,
and
we
also
have
the
support
of
the
cotton
Square
neighborhood
council
for
this
project
and
the
Talbot
Norfolk
Triangle
neighbors
United.
AF
So
we
hope
to
break
ground
on
this
project
before
the
end
of
the
year,
bending
this
funding
and
for
every
unit
that
we
affordable
unit
that
we
have
available.
As
we
all
know,
there's
a
housing,
affordable,
housing
crisis
in
the
city
we
easily
have
20
to
40
applicants
for
one
unit.
So
we
appreciate
your
support
and
we're
looking
forward
to
developing
this
transit
oriented
housing.

you
very
much

hearing
us
to
see
me

you
very
much
for
all
your
technical
assistance

For
the
record,

now
is
a

nonprofit
organization
that
works
to
plan
advocate
and
activate
Boston
Harbor
Islands.
We
run
almost
450
programs
annually
and
provide
free
transportation
to
the
islands
for
over
20,000
children
and
families
throughout
the
year.
AG
But
spectacle
Island
actually
is
any
of
you
probably
know,
is
a
reclaimed
city
of
Boston
piece
of
property,
which
was
a
landfill
it
opened
in
2006,
and
it's
got
many
unique
challenges
affiliated
with
it,
some
of
which
are
not
a
lot
of
shade
on
yeah,
and
this
proposal
is
for
portable
shades
shelters
that
will
provide
shade
in
various
locations
around
the
island.
About
40,000
visitors
go
to
spectacle
Island
each
year
of
those
40,000
5,000
are
transported
out
there
by
a
partner
organization,
save
the
harbor
save
the
bay.

Programs
here

like
to
introduce
my

who's,
the
director

the
deputy
director
of
development
for
Boston
hammer
now
just
to
go
through
some
of
the
details.
For
you,
hey.
AH
Thanks
so
much
so
just
because
this
is
a
former
landfill
site,
the
most
appropriate
structures,
we're
proposing
to
provide
shade
or
one
in
a
lawn
area
called
the
saddle,
and
that
would
be
about
45
60
feet
and
another
is
down
by
the
pier,
which
is
we're
going
to
propose
30
by
60
foot
structure,
to
cover
the
pier,
where
groups
wait
for
the
ferry
to
come
and
go
so
we're
trying
to
do
this.
To
provide
some
shade
for
health
and
just
to
get
out
of
the
elements
for
the
many
visitors
to
spectacle.
Island.
P
Proud
to
support
the
proposal,
the
haba
Islands,
a
real
asset
to
our
city,
often
times
almost
unknown
to
many,
but
thanks
to
Boston
Harbor,
now,
Cathy
Abbott,
you
know
people
that
never
had
access
to
the
islands
are
enjoying
the
islands
now
people
in
the
communities
of
power,
people
in
public
housing,
public
school,
kids,
kids
throughout
the
city.
So
we
just
want
to
say
thank
you,
for
you
know,
making
sure
that
everyone
has
access
to
the
islands
and
that's
that's
real
important.
Thank.

Thank
you.

we're
respectfully
requesting
the
funds
to

project
at
the

will
conserve
all

as
carry
out
repairs

then
the
repair
of

multiple
ways.
It
is
a

It
is
a
destination
for

AI
Museum
tour
is
open

free
to
charge
all
Boston

we
used
the

to
tell
the
important
story
of
how
the
West
End
neighborhood
changed
between
the
late
18th
century
in
the
early
20th
century
when
we
purchased
it.
This
work
will
help
ensure
the
long-term
preservation
of
this
national
historic,
landmark
and
again
bring
greater
public
attention
to
a
few
historic

Way,
bought
it
for
$10
and
proceeded
to
do
a
1.5
million
dollar
restoration
with
it
anything
we
didn't
have
to
do
at
the
time
we
didn't,
because
we
were
eager
to
work
with
students
and
get
students
out
on
the
water.
Since
then,
we've
worked
with
20,000
students.
We
operated
a
budget
of
about
1.3
million
dollars
a
year.

The
grassroots
organization
building
that
and
one
of
the
original
pieces
of
the
vessel
for
horn,
timber
and
rudder
trunk
needed
to
be
replaced
and
the
Coast
Guard
said
that
we
would
not
be
able
to
continue
to
operate
the
vessel
if
we
did
not
replace
this.
This
is
about
a
half
a
million
dollar
project
and
we
were
able
to
raise
a
considerable
amount,
but
there
was
a
deficit
and
we're
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
be
to
have
these
funds.

The
interesting
thing
actually
that
we
currently
dock
at
the
federal
courthouse
dock
and
I'll
have
you
know,
have
opportunities
for
students
about
600
students
from
Boston
Public
Schools
low
income.
Schools
are
targeted
one
of
the
interesting
comments
before
there
was
no
proposals
from
Mattapan
or
Charlestown
schools
from
both
of
those
areas
participate
in
our
programs
every
year.
I
have
a
couple
of
students
here.
Well,
a
student
here
with
me
who's
actually
about
to
become
one
of
our
first
element:
Boston
alumni
crew
members
he'd
become
a
full-time
staff.
In
november
I
joining
us.
AK
It's
a
pleasure
to
speak
in
front
of
the
council
today.
I
grew
up
much
like
the
earlier
presenters
from
East
Boston,
probably
staring
out
over
the
ocean
from
Piers
Clark
and
one
of
the
things
that
always
caught
my
eye
on
the
water
was
a
old
schooner
with
the
bright
red
sails,
and
it
was
the
only
ship
on
that
Harbor
that
I
was
really
interested
in
and
I'd
always
wanted
to
sail
it,
but
for
but
never
really
thought
I'd
ever
get
the
chance
fast-forward
a
decade
and
a
half
about
and
Aaron
stone.
AK
A
organization
that
is
both
helped
students
from
the
area
who
are
underprivileged
and
not
only
that
but
students
from
the
Caribbean
who
were
recently
hit
by
the
hurricane
that
swept
through
st.
Croix,
and
it
would
be
a
pleasure
to
be
able
to
sail
on
her
fully
refurbished
and
in
perfect
running
order.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.

My
name
is
Emily
Loomis
I'm
here
representing
urban
edge
nonprofit
community
development
corporation
based
in
Roxbury
I'd
like
to
thank
the
City
Council
for
considering
these
CPA
applications
to
thank
Christine
Poth,
as
well
as
the
Community
Preservation
Committee
for
recommending
Delphine's
courtyard.
As
one
of
those
projects,
Delphine's
courtyard
will
create
a
publicly
accessible
open
space
on
Columbus
Avenue
in
Egleston
square
in
Roxbury.
Delphine's
courtyard
will
turn
a
vacant
lot
into
a
place
of
beauty
that
will
serve
as
a
neighborhood
gathering
place.
It's
been
designed
to
incorporate
environmentally
sensitive
design
using
principles
of
permaculture.
AL
This
will
include
permeable
pavers,
as
well
as
as
native
and
drought-tolerant
plantings.
The
courtyard
has
received
strong
support
from
community
members
and
from
the
Friends
of
the
Egleston
square
library.
The
Egleston
square
library
is
right
next
door
to
the
courtyard
it's
also
next
door
to
new,
affordable
housing.
That's
currently
under
construction
and
other
residential
homes
in
the
neighborhood.
The
Friends
of
the
Egleston
square
library
is
an
active
group
of
neighborhood
volunteers
who
have
transformed
the
library's
back
yard
to
a
permaculture
garden
where
they
host
movie
nights
and
social
events.
AL

This
this
project
is
working
in
collaboration
with
the
West
Roxbury
VA
hospital
to
provide
a
peaceful
and
scenic
place
for
patients,
particularly
those
with
PTSD
and
their
family,
as
well
as
the
staff.
The
hospital
is
bustling,
2,000
person
facility,
and
there
is
a
quiet
place,
that's
important
for
patients
or
need
of
some
R&R.
AM
The
there's
also
no
place
to
walk
to
so
for
patients
looking
to
get
a
little
exercise
aside
from
walking
along
the
the
J
way
or-
or
you
know
somewhere
else.
Walking
to
this
out
to
this
garden
through
the
grassy
area,
would
provide
a
location
and,
and
also
the
cathartic
activity
of
gardening
is
provides
exercise
and
fresh
air
and
it
can
be
done
in
groups
and
it's
a
great
activity
for
community
building.
We've
got
a
great
group
of
volunteers
ready
to
go,
and
this
is
a
turnkey
project.

Hi,
my
name
is
Riki
odor,
my
wife
and
I
lead
the
Mount
Hope
Canterbury
Neighborhood
Association
in
Roslindale
I
want
to
thank
Christine
and
recognize
just
I
can't
imagine
the
thousands
of
details
she's
had
to
deal
with
and
the
thousands
of
complicated
questions
she
and
her
committees
had
to
deal
with
and
always
returned
emails
quickly.
Phone
calls
quickly
and
dealt
with
the
questions
we
had.
I
really
appreciate
it.
AN
I
want
to
thank
the
the
City
Council
for
actually
being
the
ones
that
pushed
for
developing
establishing
the
CPA
in
Boston,
and
this
has
made
it
possible
for
neighborhoods
all
over
the
city,
a
city
organizations
on
such
as
ours
to
how
the
opportunity
to
get
funds
that
we
probably
really
would
never
be
able
to
put
our
hands
on
so
this
just
hearing.
All
these
presentations
is
just
amazing,
I,
just
love
it.
AN
Ours
is
a
tree
planting
application
and,
interestingly,
this
morning,
10
o'clock,
there
was
a
hearing
here
on
Boston's
tree
canopy,
which
is
actually
has
shrunk
slightly,
and
it
was
a
great
hearing.
We
heard
all
the
reasons
all
the
problems
for
trees
survival
in
this
city.
There
are
a
multitude,
so
our
modest
proposal
is
to
try
to
push
back
and
help
grow
our
beautiful
canopy
in
this
city.
AN
You
know,
I'll
read
something
over
so
our
Mount
Hope
Canterbury
Neighborhood
Association
has
applied
for
a
grant
to
begin
the
replacement
of
hundreds
of
trees
that
have
died
over
the
recent
years
in
Mount
Hope
Cemetery,
it's
located
in
Rosendale
near
the
American
Legion
highway.
The
city
owned
125,
acre
Mount
Hope
Cemetery
is
a
place
of
beauty
and
tranquility.
AN
AN
It
was
established
a
Mount
Hope
was
established
in
1852
and
includes
veterans,
memorials,
ornate,
family
plots
and
paupers
graves.
It's
a
collection
with
two
hundred
thousand
individual
memorials.
It
is
a
place
of
history
and
of
beauty
to
the
many
residents
hundreds
of
residents
in
the
pocket
neighborhood
surrounding
Mount
Hope.
This
space
is
a
closest
we
have
to
a
park.
AN
We
and
our
neighbors
often
take
walks
through
Mount
Hope
after
work
and
on
weekends.
All
are
dismayed
by
the
increasing
tree
canopy
loss.
We
are
witnessing
over
the
past
years,
many
Ament
hope
trees
have
died
and
in
died
an
increasingly
higher
rate
than
in
past
years.
This
last
year,
at
least
28
trees
have
died
the
year
before
26
over
the
past
20
years,
not
one
replacement
tree
has
been
planted
in
Mount
Hope
Cemetery.
The
parks
department
is
doing
what
it
can
to
replace
the
city's
dying
trees,
but
more
resources
are
needed
for
this
task.

Well,
like
hi
I'm,
Mike,
Scanlon,
I
chaired
the
Building
Commission
at
a
manual
church
and
I
also
want
to
say,
I
voted
for
the
act
and
it's
been
edifying
not
only
to
have
the
really
productive
exchanges
that
we've
had
with
Christine,
but
to
see
the
range
of
projects.
It's
you
know
for
the
election
in
2016.
There
was
some
weird
stuff,
but
this
was
really
really
good.
So
this
is
15
Newbury

home
to
a
manual
church
in
central,
reformed
temple.
We
have
a
group
of
Korean
students
who
meet
there.
AO
We
have
the
Institute
for
justice
and
democracy
and
Haiti
long
long
list
of
people
who
are
located
in
the
building
and
also
we
serve
about
1,500
people
a
week
and
programs
like
we
have
17
separate
12-step
groups.
We
have
Boston
warm,
we
have
common
art,
Boston,
Gay,
Men's,
Chorus,
back
Bay,
chorale,
Emanuel,
music
and
all
of
those
people
go
in

out
of
our
ancient
doors
and
they're
falling
apart.

all
for
hearing
us
tonight
and
to
Christine
and
the
CPC
for
guiding
us
in
this
process
and
recommending
us
forward.
We
are
located
in
John
Eliot
square
in
the
heart
of
Roxbury

though
we
have
a
church.
AP
We
are
not
a
church,
but
we
do
boast
the
oldest
wood-frame
Church
in
the
city
of
Boston,
the
first
church
in
Roxbury,
and
it
sits
here
on
our
campus
and
in
our
confidential
shelter
off
site
that
we
run
programs
for
Roxbury
area
youth
and
for
domestic
violence.
Survivors
and
our
community
engagement
activities,
bring
people
together
across
the
divides
of
race,
class,
neighborhood,
age
and
faith,
to
learn
together
to
appreciate
art
and
culture
and
to
build
community
together
in
service.
AP
To
this
mission,
we're
working
to
transform
the
first
Church
in
Roxbury
into
a
true
meeting
house
outside
that
Reggie
Lewis
Center
at
RCC.
We
are
the
largest
potential
performance
space
in
Roxbury
and
already
a
meeting
house
hosts
collaborative
performances
with
the
handle
and
hide
in
society.
Our
CC's
Summer
Arts
intensive
program
for
middle

series
that
focuses
on
slavery
and
abolition
in
Roxbury,
criminal,
justice
reform
and
urban
planning
activism
beyond
structured
events
inside
the
meeting
house,
of
which
these
are
merely
examples.
AP
We'd
like
to
be
able
to
get
an
emergency
vehicle
through
there.
If
we
can-
and
we
would
like
to
make
sure
that
fair
foods
doesn't
have
to
back
their
truck
up
five
times
to
get
in
every
Saturday,

so
thank
you
so
much
for
considering
this
proposal

we're
proud
to
stand
here
with
all
of
these
projects,

you.

exactly

Our
project
here,
which
is
a
fully
approved
36

mixed
income,
development
in

consisting
of
ground-floor
retail
in
four
units.

Four

currently
contemplated
the

grant,
will
fund

restricted,
ten
units
at
80%

some
stats

I
wanted
to
share
with

tonight.
AQ
AQ
We
first
completed
a
project
at
200,
Hancock

around
the
corner
is
37
unit,
building
on
the
Boston
problem,
property
task
force
and
together
with
the
neighborhood,
the
tenants,
ISD
BPD
work
to
trance
or
reposition
the
building
for
the
better
and
this
building
we're
looking
to
hopefully
do
the
same
and
we've
received
overwhelming
support
from
the
community.
We've
had
multiple
community
meetings
and
we're
approaching
this
in
a
very
similar,
transparent
way.
We
look
forward
to
breaking
ground
in
the
fall
and
appreciate
the
support
of
the
City
Council
and
thank
you
so
much.

E
E
It
was
a
school
that
always
supported
immigrant
children
that
had
lived
in
nearby.
The
community
in
the
1960s
about
90
percent
of
the
children
were
Chinese
ethnic
Chinese
attended
the
school
molasses
school
Department
had
moved
the
school
to
a
larger
location
on
Washington
Street.
It
was
slated
for
demolition,
the
community
organized
to
have
a
school
preserved
and
turned
over
to
the
community
to
be
a
community
center.
They
did
that
in
1983
and
it
was
given
to
CC
ba
they
renovated
the
school
back
then,
and
to
make
it
a
vibrant
community
center.
E
E
We
have
large
gaps
and
cracks
in
the
stairs
and
also
the
the
ramp
is
separating
from
the
from
the
wall
that's
attached
to
the
building,
so
this
was
a
project
that
was
is
ready
to
go
and
we
had
to
block
off
certain
days
because
it
was
dangerous
for
people
to
walk
and
we
serve
a
large
elderly
poppy
that
live
in
the
community.
This
is
also
part
of
a
larger
project
that
I've
been
working
with
the
community
and
the
Chinese
Historic
Society
and
with
the
National
Park
Service.
E
This
building
was
accepted
into
the
national
registry
last
year.
It
is
the
only
building
in
the
East
Coast
that
recognizes
Chinese
immigrant
heritage
and
the
bigger
project
is
to
make
a
visitor
center
that
can
teach
or
give
information
about
our
heritage
in
our
immigrant
past,
and
you
know,
we've
gotten
a
grant
from
the
mass
Cultural
Council
for
a
feasibility
study
which
is
underway.
We've
got
architect
and
many
people
in
the
community
involved.
So
we're
looking
forward
to
coming
back
here
in
the
fall
to
ask
for
a
large
amount.
E
We've
got
lots
of
programs
at
our
house.
You
know
the
Kramden
spaces
on
the
first
and
floor
in
the
basement.
A
lot
of
the
elderly
cannot
go
to
the
second
and
third
floors,
so
this
they've
always
dreamed
of
having
an
elevator
in
the
building
and
we've
got
original
floors
original
chalkboards.
It's
a
nice
building,
it's
the
first
school
that
practiced
the
Horace
Mann
teaching,
were
they
separated
classrooms
by
grade.
So
we're
excited
about
this
project
and
we're
happy
that
we
were
selected
so
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
Thank.
A
A
P
Thank
you,
council,
flower,
tea
and
I
just
want
to
echo
what
Nancy
said
the
incredible
contributions
of
our
Chinese
community
here
in
Boston
helping
so
many.
So
many
immigrant
families
settle
into
our
city
for
helping
to
provide
access
to
social
services.
So
we
are
proud
of
CC
ba
we're
proud
of
the
commitment
to
helping
our
immigrant
community,
helping
our
poor
needy
in
the
city.
So
I,
probably
you
know,
support
this
proposal.
Thank.
E
E
E
A
All
the
work
that
this
committee
has
done
for
ten
organizations
to
not
show
up
for
a
total
of
one
point:
seven,
three,
one:
six:
zero:
seven:
it's
either
a
they
got
here
a
little
early
and
because
the
previous
hearing
ran
a
little
over
and
that's
obviously
on
us
as
a
council,
but
if
they
made
zero
effort
to
be
here,
I'm
gonna
make
zero
effort
to
include
them
in
the
committee
report.
It's
not
be
very
frank.
Yeah.
H
B
I
am,
to
be
honest,
I'm
not
sure,
but
I
will
reach
out
to
them
and
talk
to
them.
They
I
can
share
that.
That's
a
tree
planting
project
and
we
got
a
special
vote
of
support
for
that
project
from
both
East
Boston
residents
and
Chris
Cook,
the
Belsen
parks.
Commissioner,
even
though
it's
on
DC
our
property,
they
just
said
the
landscape.
A
B
Park
is
actually
there
several
and
I'll
bet
they're
the
rest
of
the
ones
on
your
list,
that
our
Boston
parks
department
projects,
and
they
were
continue.
They
were
many
of
them
are
capital
projects
where
they
weren't
able
the
capital
funds
allotted
over
the
last
two
years
to
do
a
park
restoration
project.
These
were
extra
features
that
they
weren't
able
to
do,
and
they
really
wanted
to
do
so.
So.
B
AN
B
This
is
not.
This
is
Paul
malcolmus
who's,
the
head
of
Boston
project
ministries
and
they've,
been
trying
to
get
water
to
the
Children's
Garden
for
years
they
built
the
garden
a
couple
years
ago.
They
carry
jugs
of
water
from
their
homes,
and
the
meeting
tonight
was
actually
to
get
their
permission
and
permits
to
actually
do
the
project
if
they
are
funded,
so
they
couldn't
not
be
there,
and
here
it
was.
That
was
a
real.
B
It
was
all
about
this
project
and
I
actually
told
him
to
go
to
that
meeting,
to
get
the
Boston
water
and
sewer
and
zoning
and
other
kind
of
permissions
that
he
needed
to
dig
up
the
street
to
install
the
water
line,
because
I
said
I
could
represent
the
project
and
it
was
hard
to
be
in
two
places.
All.
B
A
A
B
B
AB
A
Than
me
as
I
subscribe
yeah,
they
should
have
been
here
or
they
should
have
sent
their
representative
and
it's
unacceptable
that
not
and
quite
frankly,
it
should
be
part
of
the
application
process
that
when
folks
are
getting
funds,
they
need
to
know
that
there
to
be
at
this
Committee
hearing
to
discuss
their
project
and
to
avail
themselves
of
questions
and
answers
from
the
members
of
the
City
Council
so
again
case
of
first
impression.
Maybe
a
misstep
by
individuals
so
willing
to
kind
of
have
some
flexibility.
But
so.
A
The
flexibility
is
I'm,
allowing
them
to
have
a
save
I
guess
tomorrow
by
a
phone
call
with
the
chair,
so
I
can
at
least
represent
to
my
colleagues
on
the
council
that
there
was
a
conversation
and
tell
them
a
little
bit
about
what
the
funds
are.
Gonna
be
used
for
very
much
like
these
presentations
under
normal
circumstances.
If
this
happens
again,
it's
just
gonna
be
an
outright
they're,
not
gonna,
be
included
in
the
committee
report.
So
so.
B
I
just
want
to
appreciate
that,
because
I
think
it's
a
really
important
message
from
me:
counselor,
because
I
was
perhaps
too
flexible
with
their
attendance,
partly
because
I
knew
so
many
people
were
coming
and
I
was
worried
about
the
length
of
time
that
the
hearing
would
go.
So
thank
you
for
reiterating
that
and
I'm
and
forgiving
them
tomorrow
to
contact
your
office
because
I'm
sure
they
will
the.
A
Taxpayers
contributed
through
the
surcharge
and
they
deserve
to
hear
about
the
project
they
hate.
They
deserve
their
elected
representatives
to
ask
questions
about
the
project
if
they
seem
appropriate,
so
came
more
than
appropriate
that
they
be
here
also
when
next
time
we
go
at
this
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
a
breakdown
also
from
the
actual
surcharge
contributions.
Sort
of
per
neighborhood.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
neighborhoods
that
may
not
have
the
ability
to
sort
of
contribute
to
the
CBA
that
equity
and
fairness
is
going
in
that
direction.
A
V
A
Sure
that
this
is
a
very
fair
and
transparent
process
and
they
think
including
the
actual
neighborhood
contribution
for
the
surcharge,
even
if
it's
just
a
conversation
point
or
for
transparency
that
would
make
me,
as
the
chair
feel,
more
comfortable.
Clearly
we're
gonna
vet
each
and
every
proposal
and
project
on
its
own
merits,
and
you
obviously,
as
the
director
of
that,
are
going
to
make
sure
you
Shepherd
that
process.
But
for
my
edification
for
my
colleagues
edification,
we
want
to
make
sure
like
from
the
onset.
A
B
A
A
So
we
just
kind
of
keep
a
running
task
and
the
checks
and
balances
on
who
is
contributing
what
and
who's
getting
what
benefit
and
again
making
sure
that
fairness
and
equity,
particularly
those
neighborhoods,
that
don't
have
the
reach
of
the
per
se
of
a
back
pay
or
Beacon
Hill
because
of
the
tax
revenue,
that's
generated
there.
But
we
also
need
to
make
sure
the
folks
in
the
Back,
Bay
and
Beacon
Hill
get
their
fair
share
of
their
projects
approved
to
site.
So
that's
my
opening.
A
G
G
So
a
couple
of
things
I
think
we
need
to
explicitly-
and
this
is
the
first
time
around
put
in
writing
what
the
requirements
are
when
it
comes
to
attend
attendance,
I,
know,
Paul
and
Earl
very
well
and
I
know
their
dedication
to
this
and
I
know
they
take
this
seriously
and
I
know
they
would
have
once
would
have
wanted
to
be
here,
but
they
could
not,
and
we
scheduled
this
hearing
after
just
getting
it
to
the
council
on
Wednesday.
So
it's
not
like.
G
We
gave
folks
two
weeks
notice
and
all
of
that,
so
we
need
to
define
what
does
attendance
look
like
I
think
it
probably
needs
to
be
more
than
a
phone
call.
The
council
flaherty
if
it's
written
testimony,
if
it's
a
combination,
let's
put
that
in
writing.
So
it's
crystal
clear
and
so
we're
not
making
those
rules
up
as
we
go,
and
we
can
all
agree
as
to
what
that
looks
like
Christine.
G
The
second
piece
is,
you
know,
on
an
equity
front,
I
want
to
applaud
your
efforts.
This
has
been
a
conversation
from
the
beginning
when
we
passed
CPA
that
we
knew
that
certain
resources
were
going
to
come
from
certain
parts
of
the
city.
We
also
knew
that
businesses,
for
example,
would
pay
a
lot
more
and
we
welcome
that
and
we
welcome
their
participation,
even
though
they
may
not
be
getting
the
bulk
of
the
projects,
but
they
do
get
the
resources
that
this
city
provides.
G
So
I
want
to
apply
to
you
in
the
committee's
effort
when
looking
through
that
equity
lens
I
think
you
did
a
great
job
in
this
first
time
around
we're
figuring
a
lot
of
this
out,
so
I
don't
want
folks
to
be
penalized,
but
I
agree
with
counselor
Flaherty.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
folks
understand
the
magnitude
of
the
the
resources
they're
getting
in
the
process,
but
we
have
to
be
crystal
clear
in
what
that
process
looks
like
two
other
things
that
has
come
up
but
I,
don't
know
if
we
were
addressed
it.
G
I
was
excited
to
see
many
of
the
projects,
particularly
the
churches,
receive
dollars
for
the
historic
preservation
piece
that
what
came
up
during
the
campaign
we
were
campaigning
for.
Cpa
I
also
know
that,
looking
at
other
municipalities,
there
was
a
question
around
whether
or
not
CPA
funds
could
be
used
for
churches,
church
and
state
I'm,
not
sure
where
that
is
in
sort
of
the
conversation.
I.
Don't
think,
of
course
it
should
stop
us,
but
I
know
that
other
municipalities
were
looking
at
possibly
challenging
that
do
you
have
any
I
can.
B
Share
updates
on
that
yeah.
What
we
know
is
that
a
national
organization
found
a
plaintiff
in
Acton
and
that
plaintiff,
with
the
backing
of
this
national
organization
sued,
the
town
of
Acton
for
supporting
an
historic
church
in
Acton.
The
CPA
grant
was
for
two
things:
it
was
for
a
restoration
of
their
stained-glass
windows
and
also
for
a
master
plan
on
historic
sort
of
preservation
plan
for
the
church.
B
What
the
the
SJC,
the
state,
Supreme
Court,
has
ruled
that
the
support
for
the
stained-glass
windows
is
not
allowed
because
there's
religious
imagery
on
those
windows
and
they
have
not
they've,
not
weighed
in
yet
or
or
determined
the
the
master
plan,
the
preservation
plan,
what
we
did
to
interpret.
That
is
that
we
knew.
We
know
that
so
much
of
Boston's
history
is
in
our
churches,
across
the
city
in
every
neighborhood.
B
So
we
the
way
we
interpreted
that
safely.
As
we
said,
if
any
of
we
only
allowed
applications-
and
we
made
this
really
clear
to
the
churches,
so
we
got
no
church
applications
that
were
ineligible.
We
said
only
external
work,
that's
publicly
facing
a
publicly
visible
and
that
does
not
have
any
religious
imagery.
So
that's
him
it's
safe.
We
could
maybe
go
a
little
bit
deeper
and
do
more
work
for
churches,
but
there
was
plenty
of
work
that.
G
Y
G
B
G
And
then,
lastly,
not
to
be
critical,
but
maybe
I'm
being
a
little
critical
that
so
it
was
great
to
have
the
students
here
and
the
folks
from
the
two
schools
for
the
playgrounds.
I
want
us
to
just
be
mindful
of
the
limited
resources
that
the
CPA
provides,
particularly
for
projects
that
don't
have
a
large
amount
of
resources
within
the
city
of
Boston's
budget.
So,
for
example,
the
housing
projects,
it's
often
difficult
for
the
developers
or
those
folks
doing
creative
housing
projects
to
get
funding
from
D&D
some
of
the
historic
preservation
projects.
G
Obviously,
whereas
with
the
school
budget,
we
have
a
very
large
school
budget
over
a
billion
dollars
and
I
like
to
think
that
there's
room
within
that
budget
or
there
should
be
room
within
that
budget
to
make
sure
that
every
school,
for
example,
has
a
playground.
It's
unacceptable
that
the
oldest
did
not
have
a
playground
and
had
to
wait
for
CPA
funds
for
playground.
G
There
are
resources
in
that
budget
for
some
of
these
capital
projects,
where
some
of
the
historic
preservation,
the
housing
projects
that
does
not
exist,
or
it's
very,
very
limited,
Commissioner
cook
and
the
parks
department
very
limited
budget.
When
you
look
at
the
amount
of
green
space
and
parks
that
they
have
to
maintain
over
a
period
of
time,
so
I
just
wanted
to
flag.
That
I
also
heard
from
some
constituents
who
look
at
this,
who
follow
these
projects
and
who
also
flag
that
as
a
concern.
G
P
Let's
say
thank
you
to
council
fire
T
council
president
Campbell
for
y'all
leadership
on
this
important
matter.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you,
Christine
for
being
very
responsive
to
all
the
12.
My
colleagues
into
the
public
you've
been
very
professional
on
this
whole
ordeal,
so
we
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
R
You
mr.
chair
I'm
just
want
to
add
my
thanks.
I
think
it's
all
been
said
already
my
deep
appreciation
to
you
Christine
for
your
your
work
here.
These
are
exciting
times
all
the
residents
that
I
speak
to,
certainly
within
my
district,
but
throughout
the
city,
are
really
excited
about
what
this
means
for
our
community.
So
I'm
just
happy
that
we're
at
this
stage
in
the
process
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
what
comes
next.
So
thank
you
for
all
your
work.
Thank
you
again.
