C
As
a
reminder,
the
community
preservation
fund
was
created
upon
the
adoption
of
the
community
preservation
act,
mass
journalized
chapter
44b
in
november
19
and
is
funded
by
one
percent
property
tax-based
surcharge
on
residential
and
business
property
tax
bills
that
took
effect
in
july
2017
and
an
annual
state
match
distribution
for
the
massachusetts
community
preservation.
Trust
fund,
section
5
of
the
act,
provides
the
city
council
shall
take
action
and
approve
such
appropriations
from
the
community
preservation
fund
in
order
to
implement
the
recommendations
of
the
community
preservation
committee.
C
Since
adopting
the
cpa,
over
67
million
has
been
awarded
to
131
projects
spanning
across
every
neighborhood
in
the
city
of
austin.
Pending
our
bodies,
approval
of
this
appropriation
request.
We
will
have
awarded
over
92
million
to
198
projects
since
the
first
funding
round
started
in
2018,
which
is
remarkable
after
taking
opening
remarks
from
my
colleagues
in
the
administration,
members
of
the
administration
will
take
us
through
a
brief
presentation
about
each
project,
broken
down
by
funding
area
and
neighborhood,
and
then
allow
questions
from
my
colleagues
if
they
have
any
and
public
testimony.
C
C
I
have
my
colleagues
counselor
ed
flynn,
counselor
liz,
braden,
counselor,
andrea
campbell
council
at
lodge
and
asavi
george,
and
that
might
be
it
at
this
time
if
I'm
missing,
others
feel
free
to
chime
in
right.
Now,
I'm
working
on
a
small

in

I
would

aggressive

We
have
a
lot

projects

C
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
council
flaherty
I'll,
be
very
brief,
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
administration
staff.
That's
here
today,
but
also
for
your
important
work
over
the
last
several
years,
getting
this
program
off
the
ground
and
to
chair
flaherty,
and
I
know
andrea
campbell
as
well.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership
in
getting
this
cpa
program
off
the
ground
working
closely
with
mayor
walsh.
It
was
your
leadership
and
council
campbell
and
mayor
walsh
that
really
provided
the
cpa
to
boston.
Oh
almost
100
million
dollars
to
the
city
of
boston.
That's
incredible!
A
D
Thank
you,
council
flaherty,
I
really
am
excited
to
this
is
the
second
hearing
we
had.
I
had
we
had
one
last
year
as
someone
who
knocked
doors
and
and
and
pushed
campaign
to
get
the
cpa
passed
by
on
the
ballot,
I'm
very
excited
and
gratified
to
see
that
it's
such
a
success,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
everyone
is
involved.
D
C
E
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
thank
you
everyone
here
today.
I
too
look
forward
to
supporting
the
projects
that
are
before
us
and
seeing
what
great
things
are
happening
across
our
city
in
all
of
these
different,
the
categories
that
we're
investing
in
when
we
think
about
our
community
preservation
funds,
and
that's
that's
it
for
me.
Thanks.
C
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
this
issue.
I
also
just
want
to
thank
the
committee.
We
have
several
projects
coming
through
in
my
district
that
I'm
incredibly
happy
about
playgrounds,
housing,
affordable
housing,
so
these
these
are
major
things
for
for
our
district
and
for
our
city
as
a
whole.
When
you
take
all
of
these
projects
and
and
sort
of
put
them
on
a
list
and
show
kind
of
what
the
impact
is
for
the
city,
it's
pretty
major.
So
thank
you
to
everybody
involved.
G
H
Thank
you
so
much
mr
chair,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
the
whole
committee
and
all
the
departments.
I
think
it
was
actually
knocking
on
counselors
doors
and
asking
them
to
put
cpa
on
the
ballot
in
early
2016.
That
first
got
me
thinking
about
this
office
and
it's
been
amazing
to
see
it
go
from
that
kind
of
people-powered
movement
and
and
something
that
you
know
as
counselor
flaherty
knows,
we
missed
out
on
the
opportunity
to
do
in
2001
and
and
probably
lost.
H
H
In
one
of
maybe
arguably
the
most
historically
significant
cities
in
america
and
and
really
have
the
first
city
level
historic
dollars
we've
ever
had,
I
just
think
it's
it's
something
where
bostonians
said:
yes,
yes
and
yes,
and
now
they
get
to
see
this
turn
into
real
projects
in
their
communities
and
them.
I
I
think
you
know
anytime,
we
can
do
a
mechanism
like
this
and
have
real
participation
like
we
have
in
the
cpa
process.
H
It's
good
for
government
at
the
local
level
and
all
the
way
up,
so
really
really
grateful
for
all
of
the
stakeholders
are
making
it
a
success,
and
it's
something
something
I'm
proud
of
with
my
advocates
hat
on,
and
I
am
now
really
proud
to
support
a
lot
of
these
great
projects
for
the
counselor.
So
thank
you,
mr
chair.
C
Thank
you,
council
of
barcossi,
for
for
reminding
that
in
this,
in
my
tenure
here
on
the
council,
there's
been
sort
of
three
could
have
would
assures
that.
I
think
we've
missed
huge
opportunity.
One
was
not
passing
cpa
earlier
two
was
when
I
joined
the
council
in
2000.
I
recognized
that
we
had
not
increased
the
linkage
formula
since
its
inception
in
1983..
C
C
So
thanks
for
opening
the
door
counselor
black,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
emma
handy
from
the
administration
to
sort
of
start
with
the
presentation
and
we're
just
asking
if
we
can
go
as
quickly
as
we
can
through
the
the
individual
projects
and
obviously
there'll
be
representatives
from
the
projects
here.
If,
in
the
part
of
the
presentation,
if
you
can
recognize
who's
there,
representing
them,
and
my
colleagues
have
any
questions
at
the
appropriate
time,
we
could
fire
away
it's.
Obviously
it's
a
good
news
story
and
it's
great
hearing
the
old
expression.
I
Thank
you,
chairman
flaherty.
I
was
going
to
start
with
a
round
of
introductions,
but
you
did
a
very
nice
job
summarizing
all
the
city
folks,
who
are
on
the
call,
so
perhaps
I'll
just
ask
them
to
introduce
themselves
as
we
hand
off
the
the
pieces
of
the
presentation
in
the
interest
of
time.
Thank
you
for
having
us
here
tonight,
chairman
flaherty,
a
beautiful
night
to
be
talking
about
cpa
in
our
community,
and
so
I'm
really
excited
to
be
able
to
walk
through
these
projects
with
you
all.
I
They
adapted
the
numbers
of
ways
in
a
number
of
ways,
so
that
the
program
could
continue
its
mission
of
providing
funding
to
affordable
housing,
historic
preservation
and
open
space
and
recreation
across
the
city.
They
set
up
virtual
information
sessions
and
workshops
created
a
streamlined
process
for
review
of
the
materials
and
managed
the
cpc
review
process
and
public
meetings,
all
virtually,
which
was
all
new.
I
I
From
my
office
and
staff,
at
d
d
parks,
landmarks
and
many
other
city
departments
who
are
all
integral
in
this
process
and
and
contributed
quite
a
bit
to
getting
us
to
where
we
are
today,
I
will
be
brief
about
the
history
of
this,
because
the
chairman
did
such
a
nice
job.
Summering
it
summarizing
it
himself
in
2016,
boston.
Voters
voted
to
approve
the
community
preservation
act
which
set
up
the
community
preservation
fund.
It
supports
affordable
housing,
historic
preservation
and
open
space
and
recreation
in
our
communities.
I
You
all
know,
because
of
the
chairman
summary
that
it's
capitalized
through
a
one
percent
property
tax-based
surcharge.
It
also
receives
matching
funds
from
from
the
state
which
we've
been
successful
in
increasing
recent
in
recent
years,
which
is
really
wonderful
to
see
the
cpc
committee,
the
community
preservation
committee
oversees
how
that
grant
program
is
allocated
and
what
we
do
with
that
one
percent
surcharge.
I
I
I
All
of
the
projects
we've
recommended
for
funding
and
all
of
the
applications
we
received
have
been
reviewed
by
city
departments
to
ensure
that
they
align
with
the
city's
strategic
planning
efforts,
including
imagine,
boston,
2030.
The
climate
action
plan
build
bps
and
also
take
into
consideration
community
need
and
advocacy
equity
and
public
access
and
ensure
that
they
serve
the
greatest
number
of
residents
possible.
I
We
want
to
thank
secretary
walsh,
mayor
janie,
the
city
council,
all
of
our
residents,
our
community
partners,
stakeholders
for
their
commitment
to
the
success
of
this
program.
We
look
forward
to
continuing
to
engage
and
have
a
dialogue
with
residents
and
communities
as
we
move
forward
into
the
next
year
of
the
program,
and
we
are
committed
to
continuing
to
find
ways
to
add
transparency
and
further
make
the
process
and
inclusive
process
as
it
continues
to
grow
and
to
mature.
I
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
my
colleagues
chief
chris
cook
and
chief
sheila
dillon,
who
will
provide
you
with
an
overview
of
the
fy21
process
and
the
slate
of
projects
recommended
by
the
cpc
that
are
before
you
for
consideration
in
their
areas.
So
I
will
hand
it,
I
think,
to
chief
dylan.
First.
C
Thank
you
emily.
Just
before
the
chief,
I
just
received
an
email
from
our
colleague
in
new
council
president
pro
temp,
and
it's
from
council
o'malley,
basically
saying
please
be
advised,
I'm
not
able
to
attend
this
evening's
hearing
on
docket
zero.
Three
four
six.
Regarding
the
appropriation
of
community
preservation,
I
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
supporting
the
projects
that
are
located
in
my
district.
C
I
wrote
letters
of
support
to
the
community
preservation
committee
and
look
forward
to
officially
voting
in
support
of
these
much
needed
projects
that
need
the
funding
at
the
next
council
meeting.
I
enthusiastically
support
historic
preservation,
funding
going
forward
for
the
lauren
greenough
house,
bethel
ame
church,
saint
john's
episcopal
church
in
first
parish,
church
first
baptist
church,
which
is
in
total
of
590
000.
This
will
help
these
landmarks
preserve
their
architectural
beauty
and
allow
them
to
continue
to
serve
as
important
spaces
for
the
community.
C
The
cpc
has
also
allocated
350
000
for
the
camerata
little
league,
complex
renovation,
also
known
as
parkway
little
league.
I
know
that
commissioner
cook
will
go
into
detail
on
that.
I
know
that
councilor
o'malley
fought
very
hard
to
make
sure
that
that
was
included
along
with
300
000
for
the
jackson
square
redevelopment
initiative,
greenway,
which
he
wholeheartedly
supports
as
well.
C
B
So
thank
you
so
much
you
know.
I
do
need
to
call
out
too
that
the
that
the
committee
remains
very,
very
interested
and
committed
to
investing
in
affordable
housing,
which
makes
me
you
know
incredibly
happy
because
it's
become
a
very
critical
resource
in
our
programs.
We're
going
to
hear
about
you
know:
new,
affordable
housing
projects,
brick
and
mortar.
The
aop
program
that
jessica
will
talk,
critical
funding
to
keep
that
program
going
and
then
maureen's
going
to
talk
about
funding
for
the
oneplus
boston
program.
B
C
And
thank
you
chief
and
let
me
take
the
opportunity
on
behalf
of
the
council
just
to
thank
you
for
the
continued
work
you
have
been
doing
in
your
team
throughout
the
entire
pandemic.
So
we've
been
particularly
when
our
former
mayor
walsh
had
us
on
the
phone
on
a
regular
basis,
taking
the
lead
and
there
was
even-
and
you
can
attest
to
this.
C
There
was
other
municipalities,
colleagues
in
government
reaching
out
to
me,
asking
to
get
a
few
minutes
of
your
time
to
help
them
deal
with
the
issues
that
they
were
faced
with
in
their
respective
communities.
So-
and
you
went
above
and
beyond
in
that-
and
I
appreciate
that-
I
think
I
speak
for
all
my
colleagues
with
the
attention
to
detail
that
you
have
placed
on
on
our
affordable
housing
crisis,
but
also
how
this
pandemic
has
impacted
folks,
particularly
around
the
possibility
of
being
evicted,
etc.
So,
thank
you
for
the
work
you
do.
I
K
J
Know
because
counselor
bach
mentioned
it,
she
opened
the
door.
I
will
mention
it
again:
incredibly
grateful
counselor
flaherty
for
your
steadfastness
in
getting
cpa,
introduced
and
passed
and
grateful
to
the
entire
council
for
this.
Just
to
put
this
a
little
bit
in
context-
and
I
know
the
staff
is
going
to
take
us
through
the
projects,
but
when
you're
talking
about
an
investment
in
open
space
in
the
city
of
boston
of
6.2
million
dollars.
J
In
some
change
I
mean
the
entire
open
space
capital
budget
for
the
parks
department
in
a
really
good
year
is
anywhere
from
23
million
to
30
million
dollars.
So
this
is
an
enormous
investment
in
the
public
realm
in
the
city
that
makes
immediate
impacts
in
our
community.
You
know
it's
the
community
preservation
act,
but
this
should
really
be
called
the
community
building
act,
because
what
else
is
there
to
a
community?
J
I
mean
when
you
have
housing
when
you
have
preservation
of
these
very
important
landmarks,
and
then
you
have
equitable
growth,
supported
by
a
thoughtful
approach
to
open
space
generation.
There's
numerous
projects
in
here
that
if
we
start
calling
out
we'll
get
in
trouble
because
we'll
leave
one
off,
but
I
do
want
to
remark
on
one
thing
that
the
council
can
consider
by
supporting
this
slate
of
projects,
and
that
is
the
open
space
acquisition
fund.
J
So
often
in
our
city
because
of
the
pace
of
growth
residents
always
come
to
us
and
say
what,
if
we
pooled
our
resources
and
we
could
actually
acquire
this
property
to
build
a
park
here
or
to
build
a
community
garden
or
to
preserve
this
for
our
climate
future
and
climate
adaptation
purposes.
And
often
we
don't
have
the
resources.
J
Now,
with
this
slate,
we
actually
have
an
open
space
acquisition
fund
that
would
be
housed
at
the
boston
parks
and
recreation
department
and
we're
working
under
commissioner
woods
guidance
who's
on
the
call
today-
and
I
thank
him
and
his
whole
team
for
their
hard
work.
We'd
actually
be
able
to
prioritize
parcels
for
community
needs
for
recreational
needs
and
for
our
climate
needs
and
our
future.
You
know
these
open
spaces
sequester
our
carbon.
J
They
reduce
the
heat
in
our
neighborhoods
and
they
process
our
storm
water
and
all
we
got
to
do
is
we've
got
to
acquire
them
and
take
care
of
them.
So
the
fact
that
we're
not
only
renovating
our
existing
open
spaces,
but
we
could
actually
acquire
new
open
spaces
through
this
acquisition
is
very
exciting
and
on
the
preservation
side,
I
can't
say
how
grateful
we
are
to
the
council's
partnership
for
supporting
cpa,
because
so
often
these
organizations
that
are
the
literal
landmarks
of
their
communities.
This
is
how
people
identify
themselves
identify
their
neighborhoods.
J
It's
what
makes
their
neighborhoods
unique
if
we
don't
take
care
of
these
properties.
What's
unique
about
our
neighborhoods
will
disappear
so
incredibly
grateful
to
the
advocacy
community
around
preservation,
especially
the
boston
preservation
alliance,
as
well
as
the
staff
at
the
landmarks
commission
at
city
hall,
and
very
grateful
for
the
city
council
for
supporting
this
slate
of
funding
opportunities.
Thank
you
very
much.
Counselor.
I
So
now
we're
going
to
turn
it
to
fading
brown
who's
going
to,
I
think,
start
us
with
some
remarks
on
the
presentation
of
the
powerpoint
that
we'll
walk
through
we'll
go
through
d,
historic
preservation
and
open
space
with
contributions
from
many
as
part
of
that
presentation.
So,
as
we
start
the
presentation,
if
folks
could
just
introduce
them
to
themselves.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you,
and
first
next
slide,
please
I'll
first
like
to
discuss
our
successful
administrative
accomplish
accomplishments.
This
year
we
hired
three
wonderful
staff
members
ray
cetapia,
our
new
contracts
and
operations,
manager,
courtney,
willand
and
sarah
zimmerman
our
new
historic
preservation
consultant.
We
also
hired
three
outstanding
co-op
students
from
what
wentworth
institute
raul
ball.
Brian
soriano
and
andy
know
who
coded
tested,
organized
organized
massive
amounts
of
content,
tracked
numerous
projects
and
on
spreadsheets
recreated
documents
designed
and
developed
an
online
review
website
for
the
cpa
committee
and
staff
who
had
to
work
remotely
all
year.
L
I
would
like
to
thank
megan
aldridge
for
her
tremendous
support
and
leadership
and
acknowledge
the
leadership
of
drew
smith
and
margaret
dyson
from
treasury
who
are
currently
working
closely
with
the
cpa
team.
We
created
efficient
systems.
The
cpa
staff
effectively
worked
together
to
successfully
monitor
projects
previously
funded,
completed,
monitoring
reports
and
site
visits.
In
the
middle
of
a
pandemic,
we
created
a
detailed
internal
tracking
system
to
help
us
track
and
note
the
status
of
each
project.
L
We
have
streamlined
our
grant
agreement
paperwork,
making
it
much
easier
for
applicants
to
complete
documents
in
a
timely
manner
and
made
this
entire
process
more
efficient.
We
have
worked
closely
with
the
auditing
department
over
the
last
11
months
to
get
payments
processed
quickly
and
money
out
the
door
to
applicants.
To
date,
99
of
the
funds
for
2018
have
been
paid
out,
89
for
2019
and
41
for
2020..
We
continue
to
work
closely
with
the
projects
and
city
departments
to
ensure
projects
are
moving
forward.
L
L
We
have
made
our
eligibility
forms,
a
rolling
process,
which
means
potential
applicants
can
submit
a
form
anytime
and
the
cpa
staff
can
begin
to
work
with
them
earlier
in
the
process
providing
guidance
on
the
eligibility
requirements
under
the
cpa
statute
and
how
to
develop
their
project
proposal,
completing
an
eligibility
form
is
required
by
every
potential
applicant.
An
eligibility
form
is
not
an
application.
It
is
a
guide
to
help
the
staff
determine
if
a
project
is
eligible.
L
The
eligibility
criteria
of
the
cpa
statute
if
the
projects
are
eligible,
applicants
are
invited
to
submit
an
application
for
consideration
to
our
nine-member
community
preservation
committee
applicants
interested
in
applying
for
affordable
housing
development
work
with
the
city
of
boston
department
of
neighborhood
development
and
respond
to
to
the
joint
request
for
proposal.
With
this
with
cpa
issued
every
year,
we
have
had
to
adjust
our
funding
round
timeline
in
response
to
covid
this
year.
L
In
order
to
successfully
kick
off
the
funding
round,
this
gave
applicants
more
time
to
submit
their
applications
and
staff
more
time
to
prepare
and
review
applications
materials.
Before
presenting
it
to
the
cpc
we
successfully
held
community
engagement
events
virtually
in
order
to
notify
and
educate
the
public
about
the
fy
21
funding
round
next
slide.
L
L
L
One
important
item
to
note:
we
received
our
first
applications
from
the
bay
village
neighborhood
this
year
and
we
have
successfully
completed
our
goal
of
receiving
projects
from
every
neighborhood
throughout
the
city
of
boston.
We
hope
to
achieve
this
every
funding
round
consistently
and,
as
chief
handy
stated
in
her
opening
remarks.
This
is
a
testament
to
how
the
community
to
how
community
driven
this
program
is
and
how
important
it
is
to
the
city
next
slide.
L
After
the
cpc
completed
their
review
of
all
applications
goals
of
piloting,
the
specific
levels
of
allocations
per
category
were
to
provide
transparency
to
the
applicants
early
on
in
the
process
about
how
much
the
cpc
expected
to
award
to
each
and
of
distribution
of
funds
per
per
category.
With
past
funding
with
past
funding
rounds,
the
cpc
voted
and
agreed
to
consider
agreed
to
consider
piloting
this
funding
allocation
for
fy21.
L
L
In
the
next
column,
you
can
see
the
total
request
by
the
program
area.
You
can
see
our
you
can
see
that
our
application
request
exceeded
our
pilot
funding
allocations,
making
this
once
again
a
very
competitive
funding
round.
In
the
final
column,
you
can
see
the
final
cpc
recommended
program
allocation
was
slightly
over
the
pilot
allocation
amounts,
with
50
53
of
funds
going
to
affordable
housing,
22
to
historic
preservation
and
25,
to
open
space
and
recreation.
L
L
L
The
cpa
team
worked
closely
with
the
data
and
performance
analysts
from
the
department
of
neighborhood
from
the
department
of
innovation
and
technology
to
create
a
heat
map
which
you
can
find
on
our
cpa
website.
Along
with
our
interactive

L
Looking

Please.
C
So
very
accessible,
great
city,
employee-
and
I
know
that
I
mentioned
it
earlier-
not
only
dealing
with
the
pandemic,
but
also
filling
in
for
last
year,
when
the
director
was
was
out
with
some
significant
injuries,
and
I
know
that
you're
wearing
multiple
hats
so
and
picking
up
the
slack
for
for
others.
So
I
just
wanted
to
be
noted
publicly.
I
speak
obviously
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues,
but
here
is
the
chair
and
someone
that
cares
deeply
about
the
success
of
cpa
and
you've
been
you've
been
a
gem.
C
N
Before
we
go
into
the
recommended
projects.
The
summaries
here
on
the
slide.
I
just
want
to
speak
briefly
about
the
process
we
use
for
reviewing
development
proposals,
so
this
year,
dnd
accepted
affordable
housing
project
proposals
for
cpa
through
our
overall
annual,
affordable
housing
funding
round.
N
For
those
that
we
recommend
to
the
cpc,
we
also
review
them
against
the
cpa
priorities
that
they
dean
spoke
about
a
few
minutes
ago.
There
are
three
development
projects
that
are
being
recommended
tonight:
they're
they're
strong
projects
in
a
variety
of
neighborhoods,
and
I'm
really
excited
to
talk
to
you
about
them.
N
I
think
they're
all
really
special
and
and
promising,
but
I
also
wanted
to
note
that,
in
combination
with
all
the
other
funding
sources
that
are
part
of
our
rfp
process,
those
three
projects
are
part
of
14
total
projects
that
are
getting
awarded
with
31
million
dollars
in
city
funds
for
multiple
sources.
So
we
were
able
to
make
a
really
good
response
to
the
requests
that
we
got.
N
N
Cpa
also
received
two
programmatic
applications
for
the
oneplus
mortgage
program,
which
my
colleague
maureen
flynn
will
talk
about
in
just
a
minute
and
also
the
acquisition
opportunity
program.
The
cpc
thoroughly
analyzed
these
two
applications.
They
can
speak
to
them
because
they
both
actually
came
from
dnd,
but
but
I
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that.
O
Good
evening,
everyone
thank
you
for
having
us
and
also
karen
rabazza
is
here
who's
our
assistant
director
for
home
buying.
She
can
answer
any
questions
later.
She
actually
runs
the
oneplus
boston
program.
So
our
request
this
year
was
to
continue
the
program
that
started
last
year
with
further
further
funding
amount.
The
program
started
in
june
full
on,
and
it
has
been
incredible,
an
incredible
success
since
june.
So
we
really
appreciate
your
previous
support
and
we're
looking
forward
to
keeping
going
so
since
june,
we've
received
213
applications.
O
C
O
O
Together
with
gbio.
They
were
very
strong
supporters
and
helped
us
build
this
program.
We
started
the
program
with
three
lenders:
two
more
have
come
on
board,
we're
about
to
sign
a
sixth
and
we're
hoping
that
additional
lenders
come
on
board
and
increase.
The
capacity
of
the
program,
so
we
really
appreciate
your
support.
We
could
not
have
done
this
program
without
you
and
without
the
cpc
committee
so
and
we'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
later
on.
Thank
you.
N
Maureen,
so
I
I
will
now
talk
about
the
acquisition
opportunity
program.
This
program
is
one
of
our
strongest
tools
against
displacement
through
this
program
d
partners,
with
developers
to
purchase
properties
that
are
on
the
private
market
and
at
risk
of
conversion
to
to
high
high
rent
apartments
or
so
nice
condominiums,
and
make
them
permanently
affordable
through
deed
restrictions,
which
allows
existing
tenants
to
stay
in
place
and
and
future
tenants
to
know
that
there
are
affordable
places
to
live
in
the
city.
N
N
and
in
partnership
with
city
funds.
We
think
we
can
leverage
cpa
funds
this
year
to
be
able
to
protect
at
least
120,
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing
units
for
the
people
that
live
there
and
for
the
neighborhoods
that
they're
in
on
this
slide,
you
see
images
of
three
of
the
projects
that
we
use
cpa
funds
to
to
purchase
an
income
restrict
this
year.
N
N
We
have
72
burbank
street
the
fenway
community
development
corporation
purchased.
This
site
that
had
been
permitted
for
market
rate
units
was
not
receiving
a
lot
of
community
support.
They
are
now
re
repositioning
it
for
a
27
unit,
affordable
housing,
building,
it's
very
rare,
to
find
an
infill
site
like
this
to
build
a
new
building
on
in
fenway
and
and
it's
a
really
great
project.
N
100
of
the
units
will
be
affordable
to
households,
earning
60
percent
of
area
meeting
and
comment
below,
and
then
the
third
project
that's
being
proposed
is
the
barton
rogers
school
renovation
and
and
preservation
to
create
a
senior
housing
community.
This
is
being
done
by
penrose,
which
is
a
development
company.
That's
doing
a
lot
of
work
in
boston
and
the
surrounding
area.
N
Barton
rogers
not
only
will
provide
permanent
permanently
affordable
and
supportive
housing
for
seniors,
but
it
also
is
going
to
be
the
first
lgbtq
friendly
senior
housing
development
in
the
city.
So
another
really
great
project.
That's
really
going
to
benefit
from
cpa
funds,
which
in
this
case,
will
help
it
with
some
of
the
historic
restoration,
historic
renovation
costs
associated
with
keeping
this
building
really
the
centerpiece
of
of
the
hyde
park
community,
as
it
has
been
for
so
many
years,
and
that
rounds
out
our
housing
presentation.

Again,
here's
the
final
slate
of
projects.
Once
again,
I
would
like
to
thank
our
nine-member
community
preservation
committee
for
their
hard
work
this
round
and
for
each
and
every
applicant
who
submitted
an
application
in
eligibility
form
and
congratulations
to
all
the
applicants
being
considered
this
evening.
The
cpa
team
enjoyed
working
with
all
of
you
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
at
the
next
funding
round.
Our
rolling
eligibility
form
is
currently
open.
So
please
contact
the
cpa
staff
and
visit
our
website
for
more
information
and
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
chief.
I
C
That's
very
good.
Thank
you.
Gpani
obviously
was
very
helpful
to
see
well
done
and
well
thought
through
and
obviously
thanks
to
the
cbc
committee
for
the
great
work
that
they
did
in
vetting
all
the
proposals
so
good
stuff
all
around.
I
I
before
I
turn
it
over
to
my
colleagues
for
questions
and
open
it
up
to
the
floor
to
the
public.
C
If
there
are
any
chiefs
that
have
any
time
sensitivities,
I
know
that
chief
dylan
had
to
leave
there's
an
asian
discrimination
town
hall
forum,
that's
underway,
so
if
any
of
our
chiefs
or
commissioners
need
to
attend
that
very
important
town
hall,
please
feel
free
to
do
that.
We
got
a
lot
of
good
capable
hands
on
deck
here
and
there
was
a
very
thorough
presentation
that
covered
just
about
all
of
my
questions.
C
So
if
anyone
has
to
go,
no
offense
do
what
you
got
to
do
in
your
official
capacity
representing
our
folks
and
letting
folks
know,
particularly
in
the
asian
community,
how
important
they
are,
how
valued
and
respected
they
are
and
thank
them
for
their
great
contributions
to
our
city
and
let's
stand
with
them.
That
said,
I
I
do
have
a
one
plus
boston
question:
it's
a
fantastic
program,
and
I
know
that
we
people
are
now
starting
to
take
advantage
of
it
could
do.
C
We
have
a
list
of
the
banks,
the
participating
banks
that
are
that
are
participating
with
us
that
actually
have
the
one
plus
mortgage
program
product.
If
you
will
in
I
did
get
some
feedback
from
some
folks
that
I
think
that
we
have
some
banks
listed
that
are
either
no
longer
using
the
oneplus
boston
product,
and
there
are
also
other
banks
that
I
think
got
inundated
out
of
the
gate.
So
they're
sort
of
not
necessarily
refusing
folks
but
they're
kind
of
things
have
sort
of
slowed
down.
C
And
if
that's
the
case,
then
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
participating
banks
that
appreciate
and
respect
that
partnership
and
that
are
willing
to
provide
the
one
plus
boston
and,
if
they're,
harder
loans
or
more
arduous
loans
to
sort
of
to
underwrite
etc.
And
they
take
more
time
than
than
the
participating
banks.
We
need
to
distribute
that
fairly
and
evenly
so
not
quite
sure
what
we
do
for
quality
control
to
sort
of
hold
the
participating
bank's
feet
to
the
fire.
C
But
it's
my
understanding
and
you
guys
know
more
of
it
than
I
do,
but
there
are
some
banks
that
are
telling
folks
that
they
could
get
the
one
oneplus
and
there
are
some
that
don't
and
some
banks
are
doing
more
of
it
than
others.
So
so
I'd
like
to
get
your
thoughts
on,
I
guess
who
is
using
the
oneplus
boston
program
and
how
we
could
make
sure
we
do
sort
of
quality
control.
C
We
do
some
periodic
checkups
to
see
which
banks
are
doing
it
and
which
ones
are
not
and
who's
doing
it
better
than
others,
because
the
feedback
I've
been
getting
lately.
It's
been,
then
it's
an
excellent
program.
If
you
can
get
access
to
it,
if
a
bank
will
take
the
time
to
do
it
with
you.
If
so,
if
we
can
eliminate
the
ifs,
I
think
this
is
a
this,
that
one
plus
boss
improvement
is
an
absolute
home
run.
O
O
So
we
started
with
three
banks:
boston,
private,
cambridge
trust
and
santander
citizens
joined
us
recently
and,
and
then
the
city
of
boston,
credit
union,
just
came
on
board
and
we're
about
to
have
a
sixth
bank
come
on
board
the
yes,
the
banks
can
get
overwhelmed
by
demand,
because
this
is
in
such
high
demand.
There
may
be
a
little
bit
of
confusion
for
buyers,
because
we
we
use
30,
participating
lenders
3-0
for
all
our
our
larger
financial
assistance
program,
but
only
a
subset
of
those.
O
So
five
currently
about
to
add
a
sixth
do,
one
plus
it
is
more,
maybe
a
little
bit
more
handholding.
But
karen
and
her
team
have
been
working
with
the
banks.
We
have,
I
don't
know
karen
you've
trained
them.
I'd
say
every
week
we
retrain
them
and
if
we
get
a
complaint
that
the
buyer
isn't
being
served
by
the
the
lender,
we
will
address
that
immediately
with
the
the
le
the
loan
officer
supervisor
and
so
far
we've
those
supervisors
have
taken
care
of
those
complaints.
O
One
thing
I
will
say
is
that
that
the
the
banks
are
learning
the
process,
because
it's
a
pilot
program
with
us
and
they're
they've
been
they've
been
getting
much
better
at
it,
but
it
is
a
learning
curve.
Some
banks,
like
cambridge
trust
and
boston
private,
have
a
limit
each
month
that
they
can
do
and
we're
hoping
with
more
lenders
coming
on
board
that
that
that'll
solve
that
problem.
I
don't
care
if
you
want
to
add
to
that.
That.
C
B
C
All
of
them,
then
they're
probably
going
to
be
there's
a
disincentive
for
them
to
keep
doing
it.
So
I
guess
if
we
can
sort
of
spread
it
evenly
across
the
board
with
participating
lending
institutions,
they
may
find
that
that's
a
sort
of
a
two-way
street
partnership
versus
if
everyone's
kind
of
doing
the
curly
shuffle
and
sending
them
to
like
one
bank
that
already's
met
their
limit.
Then
you
got
some
poor
person.
That's
trying
to
take
advantage
of
the
one
plus
program
and
they're
kind
of
getting
they're
going
in
circles
and
yeah.
T
C
Some
of
them
don't
necessarily
have
the
capacity
to
your
point.
They
need
the
hand
holding
to
go
through
the
process
and
the
last
thing
they
need
to
be
doing
is
calling
and
getting
the
shuffle
so
but
anyways.
If
we
can,
that
would
be
great.
So
it's
a
great
program,
I'm
with
a
thousand
percent
and
the
more
banks
we
get
to
participate,
the
better.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
ones
that
are
participating
are
doing
it.
O
U
We
do
perform
bi-weekly
meetings
with
all
the
participating
lenders.
Just
last
week
we
hosted.
Actually
this
week
we
hosted
a
meeting
with
our
30
lenders
and
we
talked
to
them
and
engaged
them
to
seek
into
the
one
plus
boston
program
so
see
if
we
can
acquire
more
lenders.
So
we
are
in
continuous
communication
and
we
monitor
the
pipeline
and
we
review.
U
C
C
Great,
so
thank
you,
maureen
and
thank
you.
Karen
all
the
projects
and
the
proposals
were
great
and
will
enjoy
my
full
support
and
will
be
a
favorable
committee
report
in
advance.
Just
want
to
say
that
and
throw
it
out
to
my
colleagues
that
are
still
with
us.
Council
braden
is
on
for
any
questions
in
any
of
those
areas:
affordable
housing,
open
space,
historic
preservation
and
that
will
be
followed
by
our
colleague,
kenzie
bark.
D
No,
I
I
want
to
again
say
thank
you
to
all
the
folks
who
are
involved,
especially
the
committee,
because
early
on
you
had
a
huge
number
of
projects
to
scrutinize
and
and
evaluate
and
and
then
and
then
choose
from,
and
it
was
incredible
amount
of
work,
and
I
really
appreciate
that.
I'm
very
happy
to
see
that
the
two
projects
in
austin
brighton
that
that
passed
muster
where
the
the
historic
ice
pond
the
channel
bond
is
going
to
have
some
renovations
to
its
shoreline
and
the
the
folks
over
there.
D
The
chandler's,
pawn
friends
of
the
chandler's
pond
are
going
to
be
very,
very
grateful
to
have
that
money
to
start
their
renovations
and
then
the
the
quint
avenue
project
with
sros
for
folks,
stable
housing
for
folks
in
recovery
who
are
at
risk
of
going
back
into
homelessness.
I
think
those
are
two
great
projects
we
had
two
from
august
in
brighton
this
year,
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
generate
some
more
applications
for
next
year.
D
So
thank
you
all
for
your
incredible
work
and
I'm
so
excited
about
the
the
boston
one
mortgage
program
as
well.
That's
really
how
really
incredible
support
for
folks
who
are
trying
to
get
a
foothold
in
our
housing
market,
a
very
competitive
housing
market.
So
thank
you
and
I
will
vote
in
support
of
all
these
great
projects
and
I'm
very
happy
happy.
So
thank
you.
C
Good,
thank
you.
Council
braden,
want
to
recognize
my
colleague,
counselor
kenzie
bark
who-
and
I
didn't
mention
in
the
beginning,
was
very
helpful
in
with
the
drafting
in
the
coordinated
campaign
and
the
efforts
around
the
passage
of
the
cpa.
So
she
should
be
recognized
for
those
efforts
and
obviously,
as
a
freshman
city
council,
she
did
a
pretty
good
job.
A
lot
of
the
stuff
is
going
in
her
district,
so
I
know
that
other
colleagues
are
going
to
want
to
know.
C
What's
the
what's
the
mojo,
what's
the
secret
sauce
and
I
think
in
large
part,
because
she
understands
the
cpa,
she
worked
hard
to
make
sure
that
it
got
passed
and,
as
a
result,
we're
now
seeing
what
we
all
knew
would
happen,
which
is
the
dividends
that
are
now
coming
out
across
the
city,
which
is
all
good
stuff.
So
no
further
do
my
colleague,
city
council,
kenzie,
bark.
H
Thank
you,
councillor
flaherty,
I'm
very
proud
to
have
you
know
the
city's
most
historic
district
and,
and
I
think,
there's
a
large
number
of
historic
preservation
projects
that
we're
really
happy
to
be
see
being
funded
and
that
are
really
part
of
the
shared
community
fabric.
You
know
that
you
think
about
the
arlington
street
church
at
that
corner
with
the
public
garden
it
kind
of
defines
the
block.
H
You
know
you
think
about
the
otis
house
and
and
the
old
west
church
are
really
what
we
have
left
from
the
old
west
end.
I'm
just
I'm
really
grateful
to
the
to
the
committee
for
that
historic
preservation
support
in
this
cycle.
I
mean
in
every
cycle
and
also
I'm
excited
excited
to
have
all
three
legs
of
the
stool.
In
my
district,
the
72
burbank
street
project.
I
know
d
d
focused
on
it.
I
wanted
to
just
call
out
is
particularly
exciting.
H
It's
it's
unusual
for
us
to
be
in
a
situation
where
we
get
to
take
a
an
approved
market
rate
project
and
flip
it
to
all
affordable,
more
deeply,
affordable
than
idp
levels
increase
the
number
of
family
units.
It's
just
exactly
what
we
hope
for
in
the
fenway
and
also
fill
in
a
missing
tooth
of
a
lot.
H
I
mean
that
is
what
motivated
a
substantial
coalition
of
people
to
get
behind
the
community
preservation
act
and
it
was
a
twinkle
in
people's
eyes
all
over
the
city.
I
sat
in
church
basements
with
some
of
them
in
2015
2016,
and
I'm
just
so
grateful
that
it's
met
reality
here
in
terms
of
funding
last
year
and
this
additional
five
million
this
year,
and
I
think
when
you
combine
that
with
the
aop
program
and
then
this
new
really
exciting
acquisition
program
on
the
parks
open
space
side.
H
I
really
I
really
like
the
opportunity
for
us
with
these
funds
to
combine
kind
of
those
specific
projects
that
we
can
all
see.
You
know
exactly
where
they
are
and
we
can
look
up
the
address
and
know,
but
also
with
these
kind
of,
like
bigger
picture
conceptual
things
that
are
about
us
really
like
owning
the
legacy
of
our
city.
Together,
like
all
right
all
over
the
city,
we
want
boston
residents
to
be
able
to
build
intergenerational
wealth
and
be
anchored
as
homeowners
all
over
the
city.
We
want
to
be
able
to
acquire
open
space.
H
We
want
to
be
able
to
acquire
sort
of
that
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing
and
make
it
permanent.
I
just
I
really
appreciate
the
stewardship
of
this
program
and
all
the
things
that's
making
possible,
and
I
do
hope
that
as
we
go
on,
you
know
there
is
a
capacity
to
bond
cpa
funds
and
I
think
thinking
about
with
some
of
these
multi-year
commitments
like
aop
or
like
or
or
like
the
oneplus
boston
or
maybe
some
bigger
project,
it's
kind
of
too
big
for
the
cpa
bucket
in
any
given
year.
H
We
should
think
about
you
know
as
the
program
matures
where
we've
got
opportunities
to
do
those
kind
of
multi-year
things.
So
I
wanted
to
put
a
little
plug-in
for
that,
and
then
I
just
have
two
quick
questions,
mr
chairman,
and
and
not
project
specific,
because
I've
had
a
chance
to
get
to
know
a
lot
of
these
projects,
but
on
the
historic
preservation
front.
I
just
always
want
to
lodge
this
question,
and
this
is
maybe
for
emma
and
say
dean
centrally
or
it
could
also
be
for
chris.
H
You
know,
I
I
think
I've
said
in
a
number
of
forums
that
there's
a
real
need
for
a
kind
of
citywide
preservation
plan
effort.
I
think
that
when
we
think
about
when
we
think
about
equity
in
the
city,
we've
got
parts
of
the
city
where
there
are.
You
know,
specific
organizations
focused
on
preserving
particular
landmarks
and
then
we've
got
lots
of
kind
of
landmarks
hidden
in
plain
sight,
and
we
know
we
know
how
important
they
are
to
our
community.
H
But
that's
not
necessarily
filtering
up
in
a
way
that
kind
of
looks
at
a
bird's
eye
view
and
says
what
are
the
precious
things
in
boston
that
if
we
lost
them,
we
would
really
regret
it
later
and-
and
I
think
a
lot
about
the
fact.
My
my
grandfather
was
part
of
the
sort
of
pioneering
folks
around
historic
preservation
in
the
city,
and
we
almost
knocked
old
city
hall
down
when
we
built
new
city
hall
like
we.
H
It
was
saved
by
like,
like
the
skin,
of
its
teeth
right,
and
I
just
think
about
all
the
buildings
like
that
around
the
city,
where
our
predecessor
saved
them
and
and
disproportionately
the
ones
they
saved
and
landmarked
were
the
ones
that
were
kind
of
like
white
revolution
era
like
central
downtown
history,
and
I
think
you're
never
gonna
get
a
more
kind
of
equitable
memorialization
of
boston's
immigrant
communities,
communities
of
color.
If
you
don't
proactively,
go
out
and
preservation
plan,
as
opposed
to
just
waiting
for
people
to
come
to
you.
H
So
my
question
is,
you
know:
we've
not
yet
really
ventured
into
the
space
of
historic
preservation
grants
with
this
money
that
are
kind
of
big
picture
and
conceptual
like
there's,
no
historic
preservation,
equivalent
of
aop
and
the
new
parks
acquisition
project
like
project
and
and
oneplus
mortgage,
and
it
seems
to
me
like
a
potential
space,
for
that
would
be
citywide
preservation
planning
both
as
a
grant
in
and
of
itself,
and
also.
I
think
there
has
been
some
back
and
forth
about
the
potential
for
that
to
be
part
of
the
five
percent
admin
cost.
J
Cook
to
take
that
one
yeah
thanks
chief
handy
and
trust
me
if
I
get
anything
wrong
about
the
finances
of
it.
I
know
that
you
or
drew
smith
will
correct
me.
So
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
how
grateful
we've
been
for
your
advocacy,
counselor
bach,
on
historic
preservation,
but
also
the
collaboration
that
we've
had
with
chief
handy
and
drew
smith
and
treasury
and
others
about
what
are
some
creative
mechanisms.
J
But
how
can
we
look
at
that?
From
a
macro
perspective?
How
can
we
look
at
creative
new
uses
of
historic
places?
What
are
the
equitable
access?
We
have
the
recognition
and
understanding
of
these
spaces
and
then
and
then,
of
course,
you
know
what
are
the
other
local
resources
and
local
context
are
there?
J
Buildings
are
there
sites
that
we
should
be
protecting
further
and
what
could
actually
inform
things
like
article
85
rejuvenation
or
the
rewriting
of
it
to
make
it
more
supportive,
so
the
first
technical
baseline
to
that
work
that
you
pointed
out
would
be
something
that
I
think
is
totally
in
line
with
the
administrative
fees
being
associated
with
or
additional.
You
know
through
the
budget
process.
If
we
work
through
the
environment
department's
budget,
but
we'd
want
to
review
the
existing
inventories,
you
want
to
identify.
The
survey
needs
for
each
boston.
J
Neighborhood
you'd
want
to
identify
the
best
practices
for
conducting
some
sort
of
city-wide
historic
survey
and
then
you'd
want
to
specifically
data
collect
and
create
database
requirements
that
everyone
could
access,
so
that
neighborhoods
could
really
feel
that
there's
a
there's,
an
inventory,
there's
an
understanding
of
what's
unique
about
those
neighbors
and
what
we
want
to
protect.
We
have
that
technical
expertise
that
technical
knowledge
for
each
neighborhood
that
will
bring
an
equity.
J
I
think
to
this
process
that
we're
going
through
right
now,
where
that
technical
knowledge
would
provide
the
cpa
committee,
cpa
staff,
the
boston,
landmark
staff,
a
better
technical
expertise
to
navigate
what
is
an
equitable
distribution
of
those
funds.
So
so
you'll
have
a
partner
with
our
cabinet.
On
that,
and
I
again
I
I
can't
speak
highly
enough
of
chief
handy's
cabinet
in
in
finding
a
funding
solution
for
us
to
provide
that
technical,
the
technical
knowledge
that
we
can
then
layer
in
that
preservation
plan
on
top.
So
thank
you.
H
Yeah,
thank
you
so
much
chief
cooking
yeah.
No,
I
think
that's
right.
A
survey
is
the
first
step,
and
I
just
I
want
us
to
get
to
the
point
of
actually
funding
one
and
then
my
last
question.
Sorry,
mr
chairman,
is
just
and
chief
andy.
I've
asked
you
this
before.
I
think
a
lot
last
year's
hearing
as
well.
There
is
a
there
is
a
provision
in
the
ordinance
which,
as
counselor
flaherty
alluded
to.
H
I
think
that
there's
been
robust
growth
in
all
three
of
these
categories,
but
because
I
think
from
a
kind
of
long-term
you
know
economic
cycles
perspective
and
everything.
I
think
that
that
kind
of
accountability
is
going
to
be
important
and
we
are
now
a
few
years
in
and
I
don't
think
we've
set
that
up
or
at
least
not
in
a
way-
that's
been
externally
accessible
to
the
council.
Sure.
I
Yeah,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Counselor,
it's
a
good
one,
especially
good,
because
you
do
ask
me
it
every
time
we
talk
about
this
so
and
I
think
it's
the
right
thing
to
highlight.
So
you
know
we've
talked
about
it
before
I've
mentioned
that
you
know.
I
think
we
want
to
be
mindful
of
sort
of
the
sick,
somewhat
cyclical
nature,
right
of
the
city's
capital
planning
and
sort
of
how
that
has
changed
over
time
and
really
be
careful
about
how
how
we
define
benchmark,
to
make
sure
that
it's
not
encapsulating.
I
You
know
booms
or
busts
fy17
pretty
good
year
for
city
of
boston,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
sort
of
understand
what
that
baseline
is
and
have
done,
the
appropriate
caveats.
We
owe
you
that
analysis
and
certainly
I
think
we
promised
it
to
you
last
year
and
then
had
a
very
busy
year,
responding
to
covet
and
many
other
things.
So
we
will
certainly
get
that
to
you.
I
I
you're
absolutely
right.
I
So
we
certainly
have
used
cpa
to
go
above
and
beyond
what
we
were
funding
in
the
capital
budget,
and
you
know
have
been
fortunate
that
in
a
few
cases
where
cpa
has
needed
additional
resources,
because
we
fully
allocated
the
annual
and
and
you
know-
ran
into
project
budget
issues,
we've
been
able
to
call
on
the
capital
plan
to
figure
that
out
and
fill
in
some
gaps.
Certainly,
I
think
neither
one
is
sustainable
right.
We
don't
want
to
be
supplanting.
We
want
cpa
to
stand
on
its
own.
I
It's
also
not
sustainable
for
the
city
budget
to
on
a
regular
basis,
come
in
and
sort
of
save
the
day
when
we've
got
project
issues
on
cpa.
So
that
is
something
that
we
need
to
continue
to
fine-tune
and
make
sure
that
we
just
know
how
to
manage
that
moving
forward.
But
there's
obviously
a
huge
amount
of
symmetry
in
places
like
parks
places
like
bps
when
we're
doing
playgrounds
projects
between
the
capital
plan
and
the
city
budget,
and
so
that
that
has
come
up
from
time
to
time.
I
C
K
I'll
just
add
that
we're
very
excited
for
the
five
projects
that
are
on
parks,
apartment
land,
cops,
hill,
burial,
ground,
the
open
space
acquisition
fund,
chandler
pond
carbon
square
park
and
very
excited
about
the
coconut
grove
memorial
to
honor
those
victims
in
that
1942
fire
over
490.
That
perished
in.
C
And
you
mentioned
a
great
one,
obviously
the
the
city-wide.
The
acquisition
fund,
obviously
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
the
allendale
coalition
for
the
great
work
and
the
partnership
that
they've
done
working
out
there
on
the
wetlands,
and
I
know
they
work
closely
with
you,
commissioner,
woods
and
parks
to,
I
guess,
identify
certain
areas
that
would
fall
under
this
scope.
So
it's
all
again
all
good
stuff
and.
H
C
Good
stuff,
so
we're
gonna
shift
to
public
testimony.
At
this
point,
I
know
that
we
had
one
time
sensitivity
that
was
anthony
stankowitz
from
the
common
squad,
neighborhood
council,
so
if
candice
would
be
kind
enough
to
bring
anthony
stankowitz
to
the
forefront
and
then
we've
got
12
to
15
folks
have
signed
up
for
public
testimony.
We
just
asked
that
to
the
best
of
their
ability.
If
they
can
be
brief,
the
presentation
was
very
thorough.
It's
all
a
good
news
story.
There
may
be
some
folks
that
want
to
testify
about.
C
Maybe
their
project
didn't
get
approved
and
or
maybe
they
had
they're
upset
with
the
particular
project
and
clearly
they
will
have
the
floor
too
and
just
ask
them
if
everyone
can
do
it
in.
You
know
two
to
three
minutes
time
and
I
see
anthony
has
joined
us
anthony.
If
you
can
hear
me,
please
unmute
yourself
and
you
have
the
floor
to
address
the
council
in
the
administration
and
the
committee.
W
T
C
C
X
X
We
are
sitting
on
many
toxic
substances
that
come
from
stormwater
runoff
from
our
vehicles.
We
applaud
city
hall
for
adding
a
permeable
surface
in
the
city
hall
plaza,
but
we
all
need
to
start
noticing
our
water,
and
we
want
to
thank
the
cpa
committee
and
the
staff
and
the
city
of
boston
for
recognizing
the
work
that
the
muddy
water
initiative
is
trying
to
do
on
behalf
of
all
of
our
urban
waterways
to
start
addressing
the
pollutants
in
our
water.
So
thank
you
all
so
much
and
really
it's
just
been
a
pleasure
and
a
fabulous
process.
C
Very
good
great
to
hear
and
thank
you,
caroline
and
if,
if
christine,
could
allow
john
anderson
miller,
followed
by
kay
leah
whiteside,
followed
by
lorraine,
payne
wheeler,
followed
by
lydia
lowe,
have
everyone
queued
up
to
ready
to
go
so
with
that
john
anderson
miller?
If
you
can
hear
us,
please
unmute
yourself,
you
have
the
florida
office
of
public
testimony.
Y
Yes,
I
I
hope,
I'm
un
unmuted,
the
friends
of
20
arlington
street,
is
so
grateful
to
the
community
preservation
committee,
support
of
grant
to
help
finance
the
exterior,
brownstone
preservation
and
and
accessibility
project
at
our
very
historic
arlington
street
church,
in
addition
to
it
being
an
architectural
treasure
for
the
back
bay
and
the
gateway
to
the
back
bay.
It's
a
landmark,
that's
a
busy
site
of
social
services,
educational
and
cultural
activities
that
serve
the
wider
community.
Y
So
we
really
appreciate
the
enormous
hard
work
of
cpa
staff
and
the
committee
devoted
to
reviewing
such
a
large
group
of
worthy
projects
and
hope
that
the
city
council
will
vote
to
confirm
2021,
cpa,
historic
preservation,
grant
to
allow
us
to
complete
this
critical
project
to
preserve
this
architectural
treasure
and
help
us
better
serve
our
community.
Thank
you.
So
much.
V
Hi,
my
name
is
leah
whiteside
and
I'm
here
to
offer
testimony
on
behalf
of
dorchester
bay,
economic
development,
corporation
and
two
cpa
grant
requests
to
support
two
separate
projects.
One
is
the
ongoing
rehabilitation
of
the
pierce
building
in
eplum's
corner
and
the
second
is
the
dudley
village
playground
project
on
dudley
street
in
dorchester.
V
The
cfpa
funds
that
we're
receiving
in
this
grant
round
should
this
be
approved,
are
really
essential
for
the
completion
of
the
building's
rehab,
the
cost
of
which
has
increased
significantly
as
we
face
delays
in
assembling
financing
and
starting
the
work
due
to
covid.
There
are
just
very
few
sources
of
funding
for
historic
rehab
projects
and
cpa
funding
is
critical
to
filling
the
final
gap.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
considering
this
project
briefly.
V
We're
really
pleased
to
be
able
to
make
this
visible
improvement
for
residents
in
the
public
during
covid,
where
we're
excited
to
start
the
resurfacing
work
this
summer,
so
families
can
take
advantage
of
it
as
social
distancing
measures
are
able
to
be
eased
outdoors
and
good
weather.
So
again,
thank
you
very
much.
I
would
especially
like
to
thank
councillor,
frank
baker
for
his
support
of
our
cpa
application
and
his
ongoing
support
of
our
work
on
the
pearce
project.
Thank
you
to
cpa
staff
and
the
committee
for
considering
these
two
projects.
C
Z
C
Z
Z
Right
great,
I
just
I
had
submitted
written
testimony
and
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
few
minutes
and
explain
to
you
that
the
project
that
is
in
our
neighborhood,
which
is
a
garden,
is
a
fine
project
and
would
be
wanted
by
the
neighbors
if
they
knew
anything
about
it.
And
so,
unfortunately,
it's
possible
with
cpa
funds
to
submit
an
application
and
organization.
A
long
standing
organization
would
be
able
to
not
particularly
speak
to
residents
in
that
neighborhood.
Z
But
I
think,
as
we
look
at
things
like
equity
and
inclusion,
I
just
think
the
city
council
will
do
well
to
recognize
that
there
are
organizations
who
are
used
to
working
in
a
predominantly
black
neighborhood
and
they
work
in
a
way
that
they
are
sort
of
overseers
and
they
see
community
residents
as
sort
of
helpless
people
that
they
don't
necessarily
have
to
make
a
partnership
with.
And
so
I'm
really
asking
that
the
committee
think
about
perhaps
holding
funds.
C
And
I
appreciate
your
your
comments,
lorraine
and
they
let
them
know
they
have
an
at-large
counselor.
That
would
would
recognize
that
and
would
advocate
for
them,
as
do
all
of
my
colleagues.
So
I
appreciate
you
coming
on
offering
testimony
christine.
I
see
lydia
lowe,
elsa
bengal,
lisa,
evans,
evan,
thayer
and
david
armory
had
signed
up,
and
then
we
also
have
additional
folks
that
have
their
hand
raised.
So
please
admit
the
next
guest.
C
AA
AA
AA
AA
This
proposed
grant
of
fifty
thousand
paired
with
a
third
grant
from
the
henderson
foundation
will
complete
the
restoration
of
the
east
and
west
elevation
windows,
and
with
that
done
together
we
have
restored
and
preserved
the
envelope
of
old
west.
In
the
years
ahead,
you
will
see
not
just
the
restoration
of
a
beautiful
historic
building,
but
the
expansion
of
a
vital
center
for
community
events
and
programs,
a
place
for
healing
and
justice
work
with
outreach
partnerships
and
community
engagement.
AA
I
want
to
especially
thank
our
counselor
kenzie
bach
and
her
staff
for
their
ongoing
support
of
the
work,
we're
doing
and,
of
course,
we're
so
grateful
to
the
cpa,
staff
and
consultants,
as
well
as
all
the
city
departments
involved
in
delivering
urgently
needed
funds
in
an
equitable
way,
for
so
many
outstanding
projects,
making
our
neighborhood
stronger
for
all.
Thank
you
so
much.

we
thank

considering
it.

The
history
of

of
the

the
south

in
roxbury

the
establishment
of
a
black
middle

in
this
area.
The
sanctuary,
an
additional
three

provide
a
snapchat
of

As

is
their
statement
on
behalf
of
pleasant
hill
missionary
baptist
church
in
dorchester.
AD
We
thank
the
community
preservation
committee,
mayor
walsh
and
the
boston
city
council
for
recommending
a
community
preservation
act.
Historic
preservation
grant
to
help
repair
the
building
envelope
of
our
historic
building,
including
the
front
entrance,
stairway,
steeple
windows
and
perimeter
fence,
pleasant
hills,
an
important
site
of
community
activities
prior
to
the
coveted
pandemic.
Pleasant
hill
was
open
to
community
groups
and
various
activities
from
neighborhood
associations.
Meetings,
narcotics,
anonymous
to
having
movie
nights
in
trotter
park.
Covent
hasn't
stopped
us.
Currently,
we
we
run
a
free,
a
weekly
free
food
distribution
site.
AD
In
addition,
we
were
in
collaboration
with
woodyear
street
health
center.
One
of
the
sites
set
up
to
administer
vaccines
against
covet.
So
we
I
very
much
look
forward
to
working
with
the
city
of
boston
and
pleasant
hill
missionary
church,
on
significant
repairs
to
the
church.
Building
as
pleasant
hill
continues
to
play
a
major
role
in
supporting
neighborhood
and
community.
Thank
you
very
much.

The
team
here
at
first
baptist
project
team
is
grateful
for
the
community
preservation
committee's
recommendation
to
approve
a
grant
for
a
third
major
phase
of
critical
building
envelope
work
on
this
iconic
tower,
and
we
hope
that
the
boston
city
council
will
vote
to
approve
our
cpa.
Historic
preservation
grant
request
and
support
this
most
important
preservation
project.
Thank
you
very
much
and
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
C
C
C
J
M
C
T
Thank
you
very
much,
counselor
flaherty
and
to
the
rest
of
the
city
council,
and
also
to
the
community
preservation
committee
and
particularly
to
the
staff
they
dean,
sally
courtney
and
risa,
who
have
been
just
terrific
to
work
with
this
year
and
in
past
years
for
some
of
them.
In
some
cases,
I'm
a
historic
preservation
consultant
and
I'm
providing
project
planning
and
support
to
a
handful
of
the
recommended
historic
preservation
projects
in
the
back
bay,
dorchester
and
the
south
end,
and
also
I'm
a
commissioner
on
the
boston
landmarks
commission.
T
Most
of
these
historic
sites
are
run
by
nonprofits
of
various
kinds
and
sizes
who
provide
quality
space
for
the
community
at
low
or
no
cost,
in
spite
of
the
fact
that
the
cost
of
maintaining
these
beautiful
but
complex
historic
buildings
is
very
high
and
many
suffer
from
decades
of
deferred
maintenance.
In
most
cases,
historic
preservation
grants
are
twofers,
I
would
say,
and
that
they
accomplish
multiple
and
simultaneous
goals
that
benefit
their
neighborhoods.
T
These
grants
preserve
boston's
beauty
and
historic
neighborhood
character,
but
they
also
preserve
sites
that
host
critical
social
services,
provide
community
meeting
space
and
offer
quality,
educational
and
cultural
programming.
I
have
to
say
that,
since
I'm
in
this
business,
there
are
precious
few
sources
of
funding
available
for
high
quality,
pres
historic
preservation,
work
period.
T
Cpa
is
the
largest
and
most
important
potential
funding
source
currently
available
for
these
projects,
and
I
respectfully
urge
the
community
preservation
committee
and
the
city
council
to
continue
to
advocate,
devoting
as
a
high
percentage
of
cpa
funds
as
possible
to
these
important
historic
preservation
projects.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
make
this.
C
C
AF
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
cheryl
dickinson,
I'm
the
president
of
the
friends
of
craig
park
and
it's
with
great
appreciation
that
the
craig
park
revitalization
project
has
been
considered
for
a
2021
award
from
the
cpc
on
behalf
of
the
friends
of
craig
park
in
the
south
end
community.
We
thank
the
cpc
for
listening
to
us
for
taking
the
time
to
understand
the
intricacies
of
the
project
and
the
willingness
to
help
us
to
see
how
this
project
could
be
completed
in
a
better,
more
feasible
way.
AF
The
cpc
has
made
every
effort
to
make
wise
and
rational
decisions,
and
we've
learned
a
lot
from
you.
Announcement
of
the
nomination
has
already
brought
untold
benefits
to
the
crate
park.
Revitalization,
in
the
short
period
of
time
since
the
cpa
awards
were
announced,
community
awareness
is
increased
as
well
as
donations.
AF
AF
AF
Thus,
the
cpa
award
councilman
flynn's
efforts
have
been
the
catalyst
not
only
for
building
a
park,
but
together
we're
building
a
community
that
embraces
its
diverse
cultures,
building
and
honoring.
The
sense
of
community
was
exactly
what
our
namesake
alan
kreit,
an
internationally
acclaimed
african-american
artist
and
south
end
icon,
had
in
mind
in
his
artwork
frank
park,
moves
on
now
to
its
next
stage
and
the
new
opportunity
to
collaborate
with
the
parks
and
rec
department.
AF
Public
works
chief
cook
chris
osgood,
making
a
lot
of
things
possible
that
we
thought
would
never
be
real
councilman
flynn
and
the
cpc
every
one
of
them
through
their
efforts
has
made
this
become
a
reality.
For
the
south
end,
every
effort
has
been
worth
the
challenge
and
will
continue
to
be
so
from
my
community.
I
share
my
heartfelt
thanks.
C
C
Record
final
call
for
public
testimony.
We're
also
we'll
be
accepting
email
testimony
as
well
through
the
committee.
So
if
those
folks
that
were
here
that
weren't
able
to
stay
on,
if
they
wish
to,
they
could
email
us
and
that
will
be
added
to
the
public
record
as
well
so
again,
final
call
for
public
testimony.
Anyone
not
having
heard
their
name
called.

Patchouli
from
cedar
grove
cemetery
welcome
anthony
good
evening.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
a
trustee
of
cedar,
grove
cemetery
and
also
the
interim
superintendent,
and
I
want
to
thank
everybody
just
very
much
so
for
listening
to
us
and
for
bringing
us
to
this
point.
We
look
at
cedar.
Grove
cemetery,
as
I'm
sure
so
many
of
you
do
is
more
than
just
a
cemetery.
It's
more
like
another
park
in
the
city
of
boston,
with
a
number
of
walkers
and
families
that
enjoy
the
abundance
of
wildlife
and
our
water
features.
AC
AC
C
D
No
just
again,
thank
you
to
everyone.
I
look
forward
to
being
able
to
vote
on
all
these
wonderful
projects
in
a
forthcoming
council
meeting
and
I
look
forward
to
next
year's
nominations
and
that
whole
process
it's
kicking
off
already.
So
thank
you
to
all
the
advocates
and
all
the
great
work
that's
been
done
to
preserve
our
wonderful
city.
Thank
you.
H
Just
to
again
express
my
gratitude
to
chief
handy
and
chief
cook
and
chief
dylan
and
their
whole
teams,
and
they
dean,
who
again
was
on
the
on
the
front
lines
fighting
for
this
before
before
working
to
implement
it
and
and
just
all
of
the
community
members
who
are
so
committed
to
housing
and
open
space
and
historic
preservation
in
our
beloved
communities.
So
just
really
grateful
and
certainly
looking
forward
to
supporting
the
package
at
the
council.
C
I
appreciate
their
attention
to
detail
and,
as
just
mentioned,
there'll
be
another
project
coming
up
soon.
So
if
your
number
was
not
called
this
time
around,
don't
give
up
hope
resubmit.
An
application,
fine,
fine-tune
it
indoor
reach
out
to
folks
that
have
had
success
with
their
applications
and
and
maybe
mirror
that
process
to
get
yourselves
in
the
best
possible
position
to
to
be
approved
for
funding.
C
So
with
that,
the
committee
on
community
preservation
will
be
adjourned
and
our
hope
is
we'll
get
something
before
the
council
at
the
next
council
meeting.
So
we
get
this
passed,
so
those
funds
can
be
just
dispersed
to
the
appropriate
parties,
and
we
can
start
to
see
all
that
beautiful
work
and
preservation,
restoration
and
affordable
housing
happen
right
before
our
eyes.
So
with
that
have
a
good
evening,
everyone
and
this
committee
hearing
is
adjourned.
Thank
everyone.
Thank
you.
All.
