Thank

Tito
Jackson

Thank

Today
I
introduce
you
I,
don't
that's,
probably
no
one
in
here
who
doesn't
know
the
incomparable
and
one
of
the
faith
leaders
who
had
stood
the
tallest
literally
as
well
as
figuratively.
In
some
of
our
city's
most
difficult
times.
She
has
been
someone
who
has
been
in
literally
all
of
our
living
rooms,
but
also
has
stood.
The
line
stood
the
course
and
led
in
some
of
the
most
difficult
times
in
our
city's
history
and
I
am
very
happy
as
I.
D
Let
us
pray
god
of
wisdom,
justice
and
peace.
Thank

each
spirit

passion
and
work

our
communities
and
our
nation.
Thank
you

this
time

all
that
has
been
achieved
in
thought
and
discourse
in
dreams
and
plans
in
this
chambers
help
us
as
we
meet
remember
that
we
are
still
members
one
of
another
and
that
we
can
never
live
to
ourselves
alone.
D
We
pray
for
all
the
communities
we
serve
for
people
working,
those
without
work
for
those
who
are
weld
housed
and
those
who
are
homeless
for
those
who
are
fulfilled,
those
who
are
frustrated
for
those
who
are
healthy
and
those
who
are
in
pain.
We
pray
for
those
public
servants
for
whom
this
is
the
ending
who
now
seek
new
beginnings,
give
them
strength
and
encouragement
to
continue
boldly
into
their
futures,
strengthen
encourage
all
of
us
to
be
so
grounded
in
your
love
that
we
are
more
confident
that
we
can
make
it
through
these
uncertain
times.
D
E
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here
today.
Today
is
a
very
special
meeting
for
all
of
us
for
some
of
our
colleagues
today
marks
the
end
of
your
career
in
public
service,
and
you
have
left
a
powerful
and
lasting
legacy.
You
have
touched
many
lives
and
you
have
made
our
city
a
better
place
for
everyone.
E
In
that
spirit,
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
recognize
a
young
man
who
is
just
beginning
to
learn
that
one
person
can
make
a
difference
on
August
10th,
Ryan
McQuaid
was
in
in
town
field
in
Dorchester
volunteering,
with
the
all
Dorchester
sports
league
or
adsl,
when
he
saw
a
man
lying
motionless
on
the
ground.
He
yelled
for
someone
to
call
the
police
ran
over
to
the
body
and
for
10
minutes
performed
CPR
on
the
man
who
was
overdosing.
E
Ryan's
quick
actions
saved
that
man's
life
Ryan
is
a
senior
at
Boston,
College,
High
School,
and
when
his
school
community
learned
of
his
actions,
they
held
a
mass
in
his
honor
in
a
story
in
the
Dorchester
reporter
Ryan
said.
I
had
never
won
an
award
like
that
before,
but
it
was
great
to
be
recognized
in
my
case.
It
wasn't
a
school
or
sports
related
thing.
It
was
a
human
thing.
Those
words
resonated
with
me.
E
As
elected
officials,
we
work
every
day
on
human
things
and
we
celebrate
our
victories,
not
in
trophies
but
in
the
lives
we
improve.
I
am
proud
of
Ryan
and
grateful
for
his
actions.
I
believe
that
every
young
person
should
be
empowered
to
help
in
a
crisis
situation.
I
look
forward
to
helping
make
that
a
real
reality.
E
Ryan
is
also
joined
today
with
by
his
mom
and
his
high
school
guidance
counselor,
so
I'm
so
excited
to
present,
on
behalf
of
the
Boston
City
Council
to
Ryan
McQuaid,
an
official
resolution
regard
in
recognition
of
your
ability
to
act
swiftly
for
the
benefit
of
someone
else
and
for
your
selfless
and
compassionate
effort
to
save
a
life.
Be
it
resolved
that
the
Boston
City
Council
hereby
expresses
its
gratitude.
Congratulations
and
best
wishes,
not
just
for
the
rest
of
your
senior
year,
but
for
your
life
ahead.
Thank
You,
Ryan,.

ordered
that
the
City
Council
Special
Committee
on
the
Community

Act
hold

of
finalists
for
appointments
to
the
Community.
Preservation
Committee
submits
a
report
recommending
the
order
ought
to
pass
chair.
G
You,
madam
president,
pursuant
to
chapter
four
of
the
ordinance
of
2017,
an
ordinance
that
creates
the
Community
Preservation
Committee.
The
committee
is
required
that
to
nominate
four
persons
for
consideration
by
the
full
council
for
appointment
to
the
CPC
and
after
a
lengthy,
in-depth
and
transparent
process
for
the
interviews,
the
Committee
held
a
hearing
on
December
the
5th
2017
with
the
for
individuals
who
the
committee
seeks
to
a
point
to
the
CPC.
C
You
councillor
clarity
there,
any
others
who
wish
to
speak
on
the
nominations
and
at
this
time
counselor
Flaherty
moves
that
we
accept
the
committee
report
and
confirm
these
four
individuals
for
the
Community
Preservation
Committee.
We
will
vote
on
them
each
into
Julie,
starting
with
Matthew
Kiefer,
all
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
post,
say
nay,
the
eyes
have
it.
G
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
This
ban
was
sponsored
by
by
you.
Of
course,
the
committee
held
a
public
hearing
on
Friday
December.
The
8th
dr.
1487
will
amend
the
city
Boston
Code
ordinances,
chapter
17-19,
which
created
a
one-year
pilot
program
allowing
businesses
to
hold
acoustic
performances
without
obtaining
a
live
entertainment
license,
but
change
of
occupancy
provided
that
they
were
complying
with
certain
requirements
and
also
by
striking
subsection
C,
which
was
the
sunset
clause
that
provided
for
the
program
in
the
ordinance
and
that
is
set
to
expire
on
December
31st.
G
G
Small
business
and
community
members
had
experienced
tremendous
success
during
the
live,
entertainment,
Coutu
acoustic
pilot
program,
and
they
felt
that
it
brought
more
people
to
their
local
businesses,
more
people
to
the
neighborhood
stream,
as
a
result
of
which
you'd
enjoyed
the
enthusiastic
support
from
them,
and
also
Julie
burrows
chief
of
arts
and
culture,
as
well
as
Abigail
fury,
neighborhood
business
manager
for
the
office
of
economic
development,
so
all
testified
in
support.
It's
a
great
program,
great
initiative,
led
by
our
council
president
and
moving
at
this
matter
pass.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
You
councillor
flirty,
although
I
will
add,
is
that
I
believe,
as
has
been
said
before,
this
is
one
of
the
best
examples
of
innovation
and
collaboration
in
city
government
trying
out
a
new
idea,
but
also
doing
it
with
partnership
with
the
mayor,
the
City,
Council
and
all
of
the
departments
that
were
involved
in
this,
as
well
as
all
the
main
streets
and
every
every
district
across
the
city.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
making
sure
that
we
got
this
hearing
and
and
that
we
were
able
to
address
this.
C
G
You,
madam
president,
this
matter
was
sponsored
by
Mayor,
Mike,
J
Walsh
and
refer
to
the
committee
backbone
November.
The
15
talk
at
1425
is
an
order
authorizing
the
city
to
accept
provisions
of
section
3
of
chapter
64
and
of
the
Mass
General
Laws.
The
committee
held
a
public
hearing
on
Friday
December,
the
8th,
the
discussions
of
the
topics
included
estimated
revenue
in
its
intended
uses.
G
Well,
as
well
as
regulation
and
enforcement.
The
city
will
work
with
the
relevant
departments
to
decide
on
appropriate
funding
allocations.
The
decisions
for
the
3%
rate,
as
well
as
opportunities
to
designate
revenue
to
specific
programs
was
explained,
obviously
that
as
the
whether
it's
a
minimum
of
maximum
available
resource
that
that
revenue
received
will
be
input
into
the
general
fund,
along
with
the
opportunity
to
set
local
host
arrangements
and
agreements
as
well
as
community
mitigation
fees.
G
So
please
note
respect
to
this
matter
that,
as
originally
filed,
it
stated
section
13
of
chapter
5,
of
the
acts
of
252
2017,
recently
amended
three
section
364
in
and
the
general
laws,
but
the
correct
chapter
was
55.
That
was
a
typographical
error
that
came
over
from
the
administration.
So
the
final
version
of
doctor
1425
attached
makes
that
technical
change,
correcting
the
typographical
error
in
reflects
the
correct
chapter.
G
So
at
this
time,
as
chair
of
government
operations,
I
recommend
the
docket
1425,
which
authorizes
the
acceptance
of
provisions
of
sections
3
of
chapter
64
and
the
general
laws,
which
will
then
allow
the
City
of
Austin
to
oppose
a
local
sales
tax
of
up
to
3
percent
upon
the
sale
but
transfer
of
marijuana
or
marijuana
products
by
recreational
marijuana
retail
in
that
out
to
pass.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
H
We
have
in
fact
successfully
obtained
that
information.
We
think
the
Boston
Police
Department
for
their
partnership,
so
we'll
be
able
to
dedicate
those
funds.
There's
been
a
mapping.
We
know
exactly
what
are
the
communities
that
have
been
disproportionately
impacted,
not
antidotal,
II
with
data
and
so
I
ask
that
there
be
strong
consideration
that
those
revenues
be
dedicated
in
those
categories.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
You
very
much
Madam
President
I
too
I
would
like
to
go
on
record
justice.
Councilor
Pressley
noted
that
we
have
an
opportunity
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
the
state
of
Massachusetts
to
do
this.
The
right
way.
If
this
ends
up
where
all
of
the
dispensaries
are
owned
by
people
from
private
equity
and
venture
capital
backgrounds,
then
we
have
failed
if
it
is
a
city
or
that
ends
up
like
Denver,
where
most
of
the
large
facilities
are
actually
now
gobbling
up
the
small
facilities,
then
we
will
have
failed.
B
It's
the
sense
that
we
use
with
those
dollars
to
apply
them
in
areas
that
are
actually
going
to
help
the
communities
that
have
been
harmed
by
the
very
harmful
war
on
drugs,
which
has
been
really
a
war
on
poverty.
So
I
look
forward
to
voting
for
this,
but
I
think
we
need
to
direct
those
funds.
Thank
you.
Thank.

On
a
serious
note,
docket
1488
was
sponsored
by
a
colleague
city
council
Frank
Baker
referred
to
the
committee
back
on
November
the
29th,
the
Committee
on
Planning
and
Development,
held
a
public
hearing
December
the
8th
representatives
from
natural
selections
who
are
seeking
a
letter
of
non
opposition
from
the
Boston
City
Council,
as
indicated
by
master,
analyzed
open
a
medicinal
marijuana
dispensary
at
fifty
Clapp
Street
in
Dorchester,
attend
to
the
hearing.
The
hearings
discussion
included
the
building's
location,
the
floor
plan.
G
The
security
plan
system
features
patient
ailments
as
well
as
benefits
to
the
community
background
and
experience
of
the
company,
as
well
as
the
management
team
who
have
significant
experience
in
the
medicinal
marijuana
dispensary
business.
Further.
The
petition
stated
on
the
record
that
the
proposed
site
complies
with
the
regulations
set
forth
by
the
city
of
Boston
in
Carmel
to
mass,
including
the
half
mile
buffer
zone,
known
I,
guess
in
the
industry,
as
the
flower,
tea
rule
outreach
conducted
to
the
surrounding
communities
to
address
questions
and
concerns
from
area
residents.
G
So,
based
on
the
information
that
we
had
gathered
as
well
as
the
discussion
of
the
hearing
as
the
vice
chair
of
the
Committee
on
Planning
and
Development,
set
forth
a
petition
with
respect
to
natural
selections
that
they
obtain
a
letter
of
non
opposition
from
the
City
Council
at
this
time
to
turn
it
over
to
the
lead
sponsor.
My
colleague
city
counsel,
Frank
Baker,
for
any
additional
comments.
Thank.
K
You
mr.
chair
and
madam
president,
since
this
industry
has
has
started
it,
it's
a
very
aggressive
industry
and
I
think
as
a
city
council.
Here,
we've
done
a
good
job
as
far
as
shepherding
in
the
industry.
We
we
had
a.
We
had
a
delegation
called
to
Denver
to
actually
look
at
the
way
that
the
industry
looks
like
and
so
I've
had.
Probably
ten
different
operators
come
to
me
looking
to
operate
within
my
district,
and
what
was
important
to
me
was
they
needed
to
have
experience?
K
I
wanted
them
to
be
local
in,
like
councilor
Jackson
Jackson
said
I
didn't
want
them
to
be
a
corporate
player.
It's
an
individual
that
owns
he's
from
down
the
south
shore,
isn't
necessarily
door
trust
her,
but
he's
he's
more
local
than
most
people.
I
felt
comfortable.
This
application.
He
they
went
through
probably
six
months
in
the
neighborhood
making
relationships
and
letting
people
know
who
they
are
and
what
the
industry
may
potentially
look
like,
and
they
did
get
a
favorable
vote
from
the
local
from
the
local
civic
group.
That's
there.
K
This
industry
is
coming
and
I
would
suggest
to
the
to
the
District
Council's
that
don't
have
one
yet
you
should
start
figuring
out
who's
going
to
come
to
your
district
because
there
are
going
to
be
people
coming
to
your
district.
I
was
comfortable
with
this
one
here,
so
I
I
think
we
did
a
good
job
as
far
as
coming
up
with
somewhat
of
a
process
here
now
before
before
it
got
out
of
control.
But
I
just
want
to
speak
in
favor
of
this.
K
C
You
councillor
Baker
would
anyone
else
like
to
speak
on
this
matter
before
we
take
a
vote
at
this
time?
Councillor
Flaherty
moves
for
passage
of
docket,
one
four,
eight,
eight,
all
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
docket
one
four
eight
eight
has
been
passed
and
this
operator
will
be
granted
our
standard
letter
of
non
opposition
before
we
proceed
to
the
next
section.
I
want
to
recognize.
We've
been
joined
by
another
special
guest,
former
Senate
President
and
former
city
councilor
Harbor
traveling
is
here
as
well.
Thank
you
for
joining
us.
L
L
There's
no
action
to
take
from
this,
but
I
just
wanted
to
put
a
little
in
context
and
talk
about
why
it
was
so
worthwhile.
We
had
three
really
really
strong
panels.
First,
from
the
administration,
we
had
jondells
L
from
the
Boston
plan
and
Development
Authority,
as
well
as
Carl
Specter,
the
commissioner
of
the
environment.
Secondly,
we
had
some
great
industry
leaders,
as
well
as
the
Director
of
Operations
or
chief
of
operations
for
Boston
Medical
Center,
which
is
going
to
get
a
carbon
net
zero
building
by
2019.
L
So
one
year
from
now,
they'll
be
able
to
do
it
and
then
the
third,
with
some
really
great
advocates,
who've
been
working
in
this
space
and,
as
I
have
said,
countless
times
standing
at
this
desk.
There
is
an
utter
lack
of
not
only
leadership
from
Washington
outright
outright
hostility
from
this
administrator
from
this
federal
administration,
this
EPA.
So
it's
really
up
to
cities
and
towns
and
States
to
lead
on
issues
in
combating
climate
change.
L
50%,
plus
of
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
come
from
our
buildings,
I'm
delighted
to
hear
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
good
positive
programs
that
are
happening
at
the
city
level,
but
there's
certainly
more
that
we
can
do
so
while
I'm
not
looking
for
any
action,
obviously
taken.
It
was
a
hearing
order
today
in
the
new
council
session,
starting
in
January
will
be
authoring
another
either
hearing
order
or
some
ordinance
or
some
working
session
to
keep
this
momentum
going,
and
there
were
sort
of
two
key
takeaways
from
the
hearing
on
Monday.
L
One
was
that,
while
we
have
a
lot
of
great
programs
in
place-
probably
13
or
15
of
them
at
the
city
level,
in
terms
of
building
in
terms
of
ways
to
address
climate
change,
we
really
need
sort
of
an
ombudsman
to
help
oversee
it
and
answer
the
questions
and
help
coordinated.
That's
one
piece
and
the
second
piece
is
the
urgency
is
really
now
so
we
need
to
do
more.
L
We
have
ambitious
goals
to
cut
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
25%
by
2020,
we're
not
there
yet,
but
there's
more
steps
that
we
can
take
and
then
by
a
hundred
percent
by
2050,
which
is
a
laudable
goal,
but
the
more
natural
gas
and
other
fossil
fuel
infrastructure
that
we
invest
in
now,
it's
going
to
make
that
goal
a
lot
more
difficult.
So,
let's
help
coordinate
better.
L
Let's
have
the
council
taking
a
leadership
role
in
oversight
and
coordination
and,
let's
also
stress
the
urgency
of
now,
because,
as
has
been
said,
as
has
been
noticed,
you
need
to
only
see
what's
been
happening
in
this
world.
This
is
no
longer
going
to
affect
our
kids
or
our
grandkids.
This
is
happening
now.
The
effects
of
climate
change,
particularly
in
coastal
cities,
is
happening
now,
so
thank
you
all
for
participating,
no
action
to
be
taken
now,
but
we
will
be
revisiting
this
issue
in
the
new
council
session.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
And
refer
to
the
Committee
on
government
operations
back
on
October,
the
18th
docket
1325
proposes
to
amend
CBC
chapter
4,
section
4,
promoting
minority
and
women-owned
business
enterprises
in
the
city
of
Boston
to
further
promote
equity
and
city
of
Boston
contracts.
The
provisions
include
the
creation
of
a
supplier
diversity
program
directing
all
any
and
all
RFPs
the
city
releases,
as
well
as
an
evaluation
process
requiring
compliation
of
information
regarding
the
number
of
contracts,
as
well
as
the
dollar
Awards.
The
dollar
amounts
awarded.
The
ordinance
is
intended
to
put
teeth
in
the
city's
existing
diversity
goals.
G
The
committee
was
referred
to
the
administration's
ongoing
efforts
and
should
commitment
regarding
the
promotion
of
equity
and
procurement.
The
committee
also
discussed
the
disparity
study,
that's
to
commence
in
2018,
which
hopefully
will
support
the
existing
anecdotal
evidence
of
disparity
and
provide
legal
footing
for
additional
equity
levers
in
the
future.
The
new
draft
of
darka
1325
includes
the
following
changes:
add
a
definition
for
slde
office
as
reference
to
wrote,
cbc
4-4.
G
That
includes
this
quote
small
in
local
business
enterprise
office,
as
originally
referenced
in
the
chapter,
the
office
of
small
business
development
or
any
other
office
similarly
charged
with
implementing
diversity
initiatives.
Also,
another
change
update
threshold
for
professional
services
increase
that
number
from
25,000
to
50,000
to
reflect
amendments
at
the
state
procurement
level.
Also,
another
change,
update
and
site
perform
a
design
service
law,
general
law
in
Chapter,
7,
section
38
a
and
a
half
30
80.
Now
general
law,
chapter
7,
C,
section
44
57,
which
is
the
designer
collection.
G
Also
another
change
update
the
definition
of
professional
services
as
expanded
by
the
administration
to
include
all
professional
services,
not
just
architecture
and
engineering.
Now
the
change
update
the
RFP
policy
to
reflect
stronger
RFP
language
as
presented
by
the
administration
and
finally
expand
reporting
requirements
to
include
Boston
resident
owned
businesses,
as
well
as
veteran
owned
business
surprises
at
this
time
is
the
chair
of
government
operations.
I
recommend
dark
at
13:25
passing
a
new
draft,
but
would
like
to
turn
it
over
to
the
lead
sponsors
for
further
comments.
Thank
You,
mr.
vice
president
Thank.
C
You,
mr.
vice
president,
and
thank
you
so
much
chairman
Flaherty
for
making
sure
we
had
this
hearing
before
the
end
of
the
year.
I
want
to
thank
thank
thank
my
co-sponsoring.
This
councilor
Pressley
for
her
work
from
dating
back
even
before
I
was
on
the
council
on
this
very
issue
and
very
proud
that
we
have
something
concrete
that
we're
presenting
today
and
I
want
to
thank
the
administration
who,
at
through
representatives,
Carolyn
Crockett
and
Kevin
Coyne,
came
to
us
at
the
hearing
and
said.
C
Not
only
do
we
agree
with
this
docket
and
the
sword
is,
but
we
want
to
push
the
language
further
and
make
sure
that
we're
doing
more,
increasing
the
thresholds.
So
just
a
quick
summary.
This
ordinance
is
about
aligning
city
spending
with
our
vision
of
creating
equity
and
opportunity.
We
learned
at
previous
hearings
that
in
2016,
for
example,
the
city
spent
about
380
million
dollars
on
goods
and
320
million
dollars
on
services.
C
That's
office
supplies
for
City
Hall
and
are
also
city
buildings,
and
then
services
like
who
cuts
the
grass
on
city
parks
or
who
plows
the
snow
around
our
municipal
buildings.
That's
700
million
dollars
a
year
that
we
could
be
directly
investing
back
into
neighborhood
small
businesses
to
again
push
for
equity
and
opportunity
and
make
sure
that
communities
that
have
traditionally
been
left
out
of
opportunity
know
what
we
are
doing
in
City
Hall
and
have
the
chance
to
be
part
of
that
growth.
C
So
there
are
three
main
parts
of
the
ordinance.
First
is
around
outreach
outreach
requirements
codifying
what
the
city
is
already
doing
under
Carolyn
Crockett.
We
need
to
go
after
minority-owned
businesses,
women-owned
businesses
tell
them
up
about
the
opportunities
and
have
workshops,
training
them
to
participate.
The
second
piece
is
language.
C
Codifying
requirements
at
every
RFP
that
goes
out
from
a
city
department
must
include
not
just
language
recognizing
diversity
and
inclusion,
but
then
affirmative
requirements
that
the
assessment
and
evaluation
of
who
wins
the
bid
include
a
rating
of
that
diversity
and
inclusion,
peace
and
finally,
it
adds
tracking
and
reporting
requirements.
So
in
other
words,
this
is
about
codifying
our
values,
about
changing
our
processes
and
then
measuring
our
progress.
C
H
Neighborhood
small
businesses
often
times
it
just
felt
like
a
big
boulder
sort
of
you
know,
pushing
up
a
hill,
and
so
it
is
an
exciting
day
that
we
have
a
mandate
top-down
and
it
demonstrated
a
verbal
expressed
commitment
and
a
more
meaningful
commitment
to
codify
this
through
policy
through
conversations
with
community
existing
and
aspiring
entrepreneurs
and
the
washing
ministration.
Again,
we
have
come
to
a
place
where
we
can
finally
codify
our
shared
value.
H
Not
only
does
everyone
in
this
city
deserve
an
equity
and
opportunity
to
benefit
from
the
prosperity
of
the
city,
they
should
have
an
equity
and
opportunity
to
contribute
to
the
prosperity
of
this
great
city.
This
ordinance
codifies
some
of
the
marketing
and
advertising
updates.
The
office
of
small
business
development
and
the
purchasing
office
are
already
undertaking
I'm
so
proud
to
be
able
to
begin
this
process
of
standardizing
language
regarding
MWBE
participation
for
all
city
departments.
You
know
we
often
say
that
the
best
policies
are
data
informed
and
that
the
data
bore
out.
H
Then
we
can
certainly
do
better
and
I
am
so
delighted
that
the
council
will
be
leading
in
this
way.
This
is
going
to
go
a
long
way
for
transparency
and
predictability
for
MWBE
companies
looking
to
share
in
the
building
to
share
the
designing
to
share
in
the
cleaning
to
share
in
the
improving
and
supply
our
city
in
the
neighborhoods
they
live
and
operate
in,
and
this
ordinance
is
flexible
and
nimble,
as
the
office
of
economic
development
is
working
on
a
critical
disparity
study
to
prove
what
we
all
know
to
be
true.
H
Antidotal
II,
this
ordinance
gets
us
started
towards
setting
those
goals
for
inclusion
and
creates
what's
really
important,
a
reporting
structure
to
measure
how
we
are
performing
once
this
is
for
disparity
study
is
complete.
It
will
allow
us
to
set
newer
and
bolder
goals
for
participation
again.
I
want
to
thank
I'm,
a
dear
friend
and
colleague,
and
our
council
president
Michelle
well.
This
is
yet
another
example
of
your
vigilance,
your
creativity,
your
partnership,
which
is
yielded
in
incredible
ways
and
we'll
speak
more
about
that
later.
H
But
I
just
want
to
thank
you
and
reiterate
our
thanks
to
Carolyn,
Crockett
and
and
Kevin,
for
your
transparency,
for
your
commitment
and
for
your
partnership
again,
I'm
just
so
excited
the
council
is
playing
a
lead
role
in
this
and
I
look
forward
to
fully
implementing
this
program
and
to
reducing
what
we're
all
committed
to
doing,
and
that
is
to
reducing
the
wealth
disparities
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
You,
councillor,
Presley
and
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
councillor
Baker
gets
recognition
and
thanks
not
just
for
leading
the
process
up
here
today
and
his
vice-president
role,
but
the
very
first
hearing
on
this
topic
in
general
was
stewarded
under
him
and
his
capacity
as
chair
of
the
jobs
wages,
more

Development
Committee.
Thank
you

agreement
between
the
city
of
Boston
and
Cena.
On.
M
You,
madam
president,
the
Committee
held
its
hearing
yesterday,
Justin
Skerritt,
the
budget
director
and
Alexis
could
trip
the
director
of
Labor
Relations
testified
on
behalf
of
the
administration.
During
this
round
of
bargaining,
the
parties
reached
two
consecutive
agreements:
one
from
October
1st
2016
through
September
30th
2017
and
October
1
2017
through
September
30th
2020,
with
an
estimated
cost
of
fifteen
point
nine
million
over
the
four-year
period.
M
Procedurally
jocket

from
the

reserve
to
provide
funding
to
the
salary
employees
of

america,
Cena
approach
to
appropriate
the
funds.
Mr.
Starrett
explained
that
the
FY
18
appropriation
of
two
million
six
hundred
and
eighty
one
thousand
one
hundred
and
fifty-seven
dollars
will
be
funded
from
the
collective
bargaining.
Reserve
account.
The
balance
stands
at
twenty
point:
nine
million
and
should
be
significant
to
cover
a
union
bargaining
agreements
moving
forward.
The
contract
contains
language
changes
that
include
improved
wages,
enhance
work,
benefits
and
adds
new
work
rules.
M
M
It
includes
a
new
step
10
at
2.5%
increase
over
the
existing
step,
9,
which
will
be
created
effective.
The
first
pay
period
in
January
of
2018.
The
contract
included
clarification
of
the
so
called
20-year
rule,
which
will
only
apply
to
employees
promoted
on
or
after
their
20th
year
with
the
city
and
will
continue
to
result
in
such
employees.
Moving
to
the
top
step,
this
change
was
implemented
as
the
city
analyzed
certain
positions
that
were
deemed
inconsistent
in
terms
of
salary,
scales
and
promotions.
M
It
stipulates
that
effective
upon
funding,
BC
YF
employees
regularly
scheduled
work
weekend
shifts,
as
defined
by
the
agreement,
will
receive
a
$40
weekend
differential
for
each
shift.
They
actually
work.
It
allows
a
weekly
stipend
of
$30
for
all
senior
members
who
possess
a
CDL
license
and
that
the
license
in
the
course
of
their
employment.
It
allows
for
four
hours
leave
of
absence
for
cancer
screening
consistent
with
the
city's
cancer
screening
policy.
M
The
the
contract
grants
that
all
employees
covered
by
the
agreement
will
be
entitled
to
the
city's
paid
parental
leave
benefit
subject
to
any
changes
to
the
exempt
employee
policy.
Several
positions
the
parties
agreed
upon
will
exempt
and
remove
from
the
bargaining
unit,
and
they
will
include
the
following
positions:
first
assistant
treasurer
and
the
treasurer
collecting
department,
director
of
state
relations
and
intergovernmental
department,
deputy
director
of
the
state
relations
intergovernmental
Department,
employee
development
coordinator
in
the
human
resources
department.
M
These
positions,
the
city
found,
were
misclassified
as
they
were
managerial
or
confidential,
or
both
it
was
explained
at
once.
They
became
vacant
they
will
exempt
from
the
union.
The

A
C
Before
I
recognize,
the
committee
chair,
I
just
want
to
make
a
note.
I
know
that
everyone
is
sitting
here,
because
all
these
guests
are
fascinated
about
our
grants
that
were
approving
today,
but
we
do
need
to
finish
a
few
more
of
these,
so
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
our
committee
chair
to
speak
in
his
last
docket.
As
committee
chair,
we
will
have
a
special
guest
come
and
speak
to
address
our
two
departing
colleagues.
We
will
finish
the
rest
of
our
business
and
then
open
it
up
for
statements
and
thank-yous.
C
I
C
Thank
You
counselor
la
mattina
at
this
time,
council
on
mattina
moves
for
a
no
vote
on
docket
147.
Is
there
a
committee
report
Council
on
Medina,
follow
this
okay?
Thank
you
so
for
acceptance
of
the
committee
report.
So
a
yes
vote
would
be
to
reject
the
petition,
as
recommended
all
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it:
docket
142
seven
has
been
passed
and
the
petition
of
star
shuttle
has
been
denied.
C
Okay,
madam
clerk,
if
you
could
please
read
the
next
docket
1
461.
A
M
You,
madam
president,
we
held
this
hearing
yesterday
as
well.
Christine
Poff,
the
Community
Preservation
Director
and
Justin
stair
at
the
budget
director
testified
on
behalf
of
the
administration
docket
one
for
six.
One
involves
two
budgetary
orders.
The
first
is
to
propriate
funds
for
the
administrative
costs
of
the
Community
Preservation
Committee
for
this
current
fiscal
year.
The
second
is
an
appropriation
to
reserve
FY
18
revenues
from
the
community
preservation
fund
for
further
appropriation,
based
on
project
recommendations
of
the
committee.
M
C
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
through
you
to
the
members.
It
is
a
I
remember
this
day
for
me
four
years
ago
in
the
Massachusetts
House
of
Representatives-
and
this
is
to
my
two
friends
and
colleagues.
It
was
an
emotional
day.
It
was
a
bittersweet
day
because
there's
a
lot
of
memories
that
you
have
working
on
your
bodies,
there's
friendships
that
you
thought
you
would
never
ever
make.
O
There
are
parts
of
the
city
that
you
realize
you
never
really
knew
and
serving
this
this
body
here
has
been
I
know,
for
both
of
you
has
been
an
incredible
opportunity,
not
just
as
public
servants
but
as
individuals
who
grow
up
in
this
great
city.
I
just
want
to
congratulate
both
of
you.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
service
to
our
city.
I'll
start
with
you
Sal.
O
As
I
said
last
night,
when
I
got
elected
mayor,
Sal
was
one
of
the
first
people
that
I
know
I
know
who
he
was
I
know
him
from
Anthony
Petrocelli
who's
here
with
us
today.
I
knew
him
from
from
John
Nucci
I
knew
him
from
this
trav
I
knew
him
from
East
Boston.
The
delegation
and
I
knew
that
the
type
of
person
that
he
was
and
from
that
day
until
today,
any
time
that
I've
called
the
counselor
for
an
issue.
O
O
I
thought
Lenihan
Belt
it.
You
know
not
quite
the
same
way
as
Linehan
and
I've
watched
people
from
different
backgrounds.
I've
watched
the
old
East
Boston
people,
the
way
they
treat
you
I've
watched
the
new
East
Boston
people
that
moved
in
in
the
last
10
15
20
years.
The
way
they
treat
you
every
conversation
was
with
Sal
on
it
with
Sal
with
Sal.
Somebody
was
not
afraid
to
speak.
His
voice,
also
somebody's,
not
afraid
to
stay
in
our
first
community.
So
mr.
mr.
O
counselor,
on
behalf
of
all
of
the
people
of
Boston,
we
want
to
congratulate
you.
Wish
you
best
wishes
and
all
you
do
and
I
know
that
this
this
council
was
a
small
stint
of
your
public
service
time.
So,
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Boston
and
all
of
the
residents
of
the
city
of
Boston
over
the
last
30
years,
we
say
thank
you
for
your
service
to
the
people
of
Boston.
O
Congrat
and
there's
the
fit
weld,
so
it
still
goes
on
till
the
31st
of
December
to
my
friend
and
colleague,
counsel
Jackson,
I've,
known
counselor
Jackson.
Since
back
in
the
days
we
work
for
the
governor
in
economic
development,
I
actually
met
him
on
the
campaign
and
I'm
in
the
office.
Who's
had
a
desk
in
the
back
room.
There
we
had
a
chance
to
work
on
a
whole
bunch
of
different
things
over
the
last
bunch.
He
is,
as
you
all
know,
the
last
six
months
and
eight
months
have
been
little
tense
between
us.
O
We
had
a
little
bit
of
a
race
yeah,
but
that
doesn't
change
friendships
that
doesn't
change
relationships
that
doesn't
change
the
fact
that
when
Tito
Jackson
got
elected
to
this
body,
his
job
was
to
go
out
and
represent
the
people
of
his
district,
and
he
did
a
great
job
of
that
and
the
people
of
his
district
loved
him
and
he's
not
afraid
to
say
where
he
stands
away.
His
position
is
on
issues
and
I
want
to
thank
you,
counselor
for
your
friendship.
O
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
support,
particularly
2013,
but
I
want
to
thank
you
for
always
caring
about
the
city
of
Boston,
the
council
Jackson.
We
know.
Thank
you
for
your
story.
You
had
the
courage
to
talk
about
about
you,
your
upbringing
here.
You
have
the
courage
to
talk
about
another
courage,
but
then
you
talked
about
your
family
and
your
mom
who's.
So
proud
of
you.
You
talked
about
your
family
that
your
brothers
and
sisters
that
center
around
you
talk
about
your
dad
with
pride.
Well,
he'd
fight
for
people.
O
O
So
I
want
to
thank
you
again
as
well
on
behalf
of
the
people
of
city
of
Boston,
Thank
You,
councillor
Jackson,
for
your
service
in
this
in
this
body,
and
thank
you
from
the
people
of
Boston
for
the
last
six
months
to
elevate
the
conversation
about
what
we
need
to
do
as
a
city
moving
forward.
Congratulations
come
on
Peter.

been

Commission

Agency
on
Aging.
H
Right,
thank
you
for
your
indulgence.
I
think
it
was
a
Barney
Frank
who
once
said
a
cluttered
desk
as
a
sign
of
genius.
So
but
thank
you,
madam
president,
you
should
all
have
the
committee
report
on
your
desks
for
these
two
grants.
I
want
to
thank
Kate,
Sullivan
and
all
of
central
staff
for
their
hard
work
and
creativity
in
making
not
only
the
schedule
work
for
our
end
of
the
year
hearings,
but
for
getting
these
reports
done
so
quickly.
H
I
have
to
thank
Commissioner
Emily
Shea,
our
dedicated
a
commissioner
for
Elder
affairs
for
her
work
year
round
and
for
going
out
and
fighting
these
types
of
grants
to
support
our
seniors.
Also,
the
language
is
evolving
there,
so
you
can
now
say
older
adults,
seniors
or
elders,
depending
on
what
you're
most
comfortable
with
these
are
pretty
straightforward
grants
that
will
support
our
elders,
who
wish
to
remain
in
their
homes
as
they
age.
H
It's
so
critically
important
that
our
elders
are
aging
in
community,
maintaining
independence
and
remaining
connectedness
to
community
the
first
docket
number
137
five
will
support
the
hiring
of
coordinators,
who
will
go
out
to
meet
our
seniors
where
they
are
and
connect
them
to
existing
resources
again
to
support
them
in
their
independent
living.
This
is
critical
for
our
seniors,
who
have
limited
mobility
or
access
to
transportation,
but
would
benefit
from
being
connected
to
the
Commission
and
being
more
aware
of
the
services
available.
The
second
dock
in
137
sticks
is
to
fund
the
administrative
needs.

Otto
Arthur
Athens
City
Boston
to
accept
and
expend
in
the
amount

$200,000
in

of
a
grant
for
the
betablox
grant
from
John
s
and
James

Knight
foundation
to
be
administered
by
the
mayor's
office.
The

Boston's
efforts
to
create
a
process
for
deploying
sensors
in
urban
environments.
Chair.
L
You,
madam
president,
I,
have
been
particularly
impressed
at
how
the
mayor,
Walsh
and
this
administration
have
embraced
technology
to
help
the
delivery
of
basic
city
services,
and
this
goes
right
towards
that
end.
This
is
a
$200,000
grant
from
the
John
s
and
James
L
Knight
Foundation.
Yesterday
we
had
a
hearing
very
interesting
hearing
with
Chris
Carter
and
Steven
Walter.
L
The
chair
co-chair
in
the
program
manager
for
the
mayor's
office
of
new
urban
mechanics,
mechanics,
and
the
purpose
of
this
grant
is
going
to
allow
a
process
in
place
where
we
can
begin
soliciting
feedback
from
the
community
to
talk
about
how
we're
going
to
use
technology
to
help
the
city
run
better.
This
is
directly
in
line
with
the
successful
program
that
was
implemented
by
the
mayor's
office
of
new
urban
mechanics.
Finding
Boston's,
safest
driver
who
I'm
proud
to
announce
is
a
woman
from
West
Roxbury
right
in
the
heart
of
district
6.
L
The
runner
up
happened
to
have
been
her
daughter
on
that
as
well
and
which
we're
very
proud
of
I've,
always
said.
We
will
make
the
term
Boston
driver
synonymous
with
safety
and
civility
and
we're
getting
there.
You
can
also
use
it
to
you
know:
use
technology
to
embrace
a
public
health
issues,
environmental
issues
in
terms
of
collecting
data
on
smog
in
terms
of
Clyde
Dadda,
obviously
on
traffic,
idling
cars,
etc.
We've
seen
this
in
Jamaica
pond
the
other
part
of
district
six,
where
you've
got
a
solar-powered
bench
which
people
can
use
to
charge
their
smartphones.
L
So
this
is
happening
and
what
this
grant
will
do
will
allow
us
to
not
only
continue
the
embrace
of
technology
to
make
this
city
better,
but
also
make
sure-
and
this
was
a
commitment
I
had
from
both
Chris
and
Steven
yesterday-
that
we
look
at
all
neighborhoods.
We
don't
just
obviously
focus
on
the
downtown,
which
is
the
heart
and
the
economic
engine
of
the
city,
but
really
look
at
some
of
the
more
far-flung
neighborhoods.
L
There
was
some
concern
in
a
recent
Herald
article
from
concern
raised
about
this
in
terms
of
data
collection
and
the
ACLU
police
report
that
both
Chris
and
Steven
have
agreed
to
have
an
oversight
committee
where
representatives
from
the
ACLU
and
other
privacy
rights
organizational
obviously
have
a
seat
at
the
table.
We're
not
looking
to
you
know,
capture
information
that
otherwise
would
be
personal
in
nature,
and
there
are
safeguards
in
place
to
that
as
well
as
well
safeguards
that
have
been
administered
by
the
by
the
king.
L
Let
excuse
me
the
knight
Foundation
in
terms
of
beta
plugs,
so
this
is
a
$200,000
grant.
We
have
to
take
action
today.
I
urge
all
my
colleagues
to
support
it.
This
is
a
great
thing
and
I
did
ask
the
office
of
new
urban
mechanics
to
check
in
with
us
in
a
less
formalized
setting
in
the
spring,
to
see
how
that's
been
going.
They've
put
out
an
initial
RFP
and
there
were
close
to
a
hundred
applicants.
So
there's
a
lot
of
energy
here
in
terms
of
creating
a
platform,
we
may
do
it
in-house.

A
Docket
second
late
file
offered
by
councilors,
jim
mccarthy
and
michael
clarity
in
the
city
council,
water
for
hearing
regarding
Boston
Public,
Schools
start
and
end
times
where,
as
bps
has
initiated
new
start
and
end
times
for
schools.
The
proposal
has
brought
out
many
questions
regarding
how
the
new
system
would
impact
families,
whereas
having
an
open
discussion
and
working
together
will
continue
to
advance.
The
bps
is
one
of
the
best
urban
school
districts
in
the
nation.
Q
Q
You
very
much,
madam
president,
students,
teachers
and
administrators,
extended
families
have
all
been
affected
by
the
change
pause,
whether
it's
positive
or
negative,
by
the
star
changes
in
the
finishing
times
of
the
days
in
the
bps
communication
is
at
the
heart
of
what
we
do
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
in
the
government
I
file,
this
hearing
in
order
to
have
it
hearing
in
January
as
the
city
charter
would
require.
We
can
continue
this
conversation
to
build
the
bridge
that
we
need
to
build
to
assist
our
bps
family
and
I.
G
You,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
council
McCarthy
for
inclusion.
Our
offices,
I
think
speak
for
everybody
here
received
calls
from
across
the
city
with
constituents
that
are
concerned
with
just
trying
to
get
information
as
to
what
this
means
to
them.
The
families
and
also
what
means
moving
forward
I
know,
there's
a
critical
deadlines
coming
up
somewhere.
My
memory
serves
me
correct.
Having
had
children
on
the
Boston
Public
Schools
I
think
it's
around
mid.
January
is
sort
of
when
the
assignment
stuff
goes
out.
Sorry,
at
least
through
this
process.
G
We
could
probably
maybe
get
that
process
push
back,
even
if
it's
a
30-day
push
back
to
allow
families
just
to
kind
of
get
their
hands
around
this,
and
also
to
work
with
the
administration
and
the
school
committee
to
see
if
we
could
modify
some
of
these
some
of
these
times,
so
I
look
forward
to
an
expedited
hearing.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
C
P
You,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
councillor
McCarthy,
for
taking
the
lead
on
this.
We
have
received
several
calls
from
constituents
as
well
school
leaders.
Some
have
been
positive,
some
have
been
negative
and
so
I
think
this
is
an
appropriate
time
to
revisit
the
new
policy
related
to
start
times
and
end
times,
while
I
applaud
the
administration
in
their
effort
to
frankly
establish
an
equitable
system
around
start
times.
P
Obviously,
it
has
to
happen
in
January,
but
the
end
of
the
day.
It's
all
about
communication.
We
have
to
do
a
better
job,
sometimes
communicating
what
we're
doing
in
the
building
and
frankly,
even
though
we
sometimes
great
at
things,
we
can
always
be
better
and
do
so.
Thank
you
again,
councillor
McCarthy
for
taking
the
lead.
Thank
you
to
all
my
colleagues
who
have
also
taken
some
step,
or
some
form
of
action
to
assist
parents
and
families
through
this
process.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
Thank.
M
M
We
just
need
to
communicate
better
I
also
want
to
give
credit
to
councillors
O'malley
and
councillor
sabi
George
for
their
work
on
moving.
This
was
all
you
know
put
out
there
because
we
wanted
to
have
our
high
school
students
start
later,
because
all
of
the
research
shows
that
they
perform
better
with
more
sleep
and
such
I
just
want
to
hear
more
about
how
it
affects
elementary
school
kids
at
this
point,
because
a
lot
of
our
schools
got
moved,
maybe
from
a
9:30
start
to
a
7:15.
M
L
You,
madam
president,
rise
to
commend
the
author's
asked
that
my
name
be
added.
Look
I,
understand
the
complexity
of
the
Boston
Public
Schools.
As
a
city
we
have,
we
are
hindered
by
a
lot
of
issues
that
other
urban
school
districts
or
rural
or
suburban
school
districts
don't
have
to
deal
with.
This
is
a
complex
issue
and
I
I
appreciate
the
efforts
made
by
bps
to
come
up
with
a
better
system.
L
This
is
not
it.
This
is
a
far
worse
system
and,
with
all
due
respect
to
the
folks,
who've
been
working
on
this
and
let
me
be
clear,
councillor
sabi,
George
and
I.
You
know
have
been
outspoken
in
our
support
for
a
later
high
school
start
times.
The
the
science
there
is
and
can
is,
is
solid,
but
that
should
not
come
at
the
expense
of
an
unworkable
schedule
for
elementary
schools.
L
This
is
the
biggest
issue
that
I've
dealt
with
in
seven
years
on
the
council.
I've
received
more
calls
more
emails,
more
social
media
communications
on
this
than
anyone
else,
and
this
is
something
that
is
affecting
literally
every
block
of
my
district.
It's
happening
at
the
Linden
school
9:30
start
going
to
7:15
the
Linden
School
in
West
Rogers,
a
pilot
school,
which
means
the
dismissal
will
occur
at
1:15
in
the
afternoon.
L
It's
happening
at
the
Manning,
it's
happening
at
the
Mendel,
it's
happening
at
the
Hernandez,
a
citywide
school
starting
now
at
7:15,
so
kids
would
have
could
potentially
have
to
leave
before
6
a.m.
and
just
as
the
science
shows
that
high
school
students
perform
better
with
more
sleep
and
with
a
later
start
time.
The
same
is
true
that
elementary
school
students
perform
worse
when
it
starts
to
early.
L
You
know,
New
York
has
a
policy
in
place
that
no
elementary
school
or
no
school
I
believe
of
any
time
should
start
before
8
o'clock
and
I
get
it
again.
We
have
certain
constraints
that
New
York
City
does
not
have.
But
again
that
should
be
what
we
strive
to
so
I
cannot
be
strong
enough
to
say.
I
oppose
this
plan
as
it's
been
put
forward.
I
think
the
process,
perhaps
well-intentioned,
miss
the
mark
that
this
is
going
to
negatively
impact.
So
many
families
throughout
the
district
I
have
not
heard
from
one
person.
L
It's
not
true,
I
receive
one
person
who
isn't
in
my
district,
who
is
supportive,
but
this
has
been
everyone
else
to
to.
A
person
has
been
opposed
to
this
and
the
fact
of
the
matter
is,
as
we
talk
about
equity,
the
cost
that
will
be
associated
with
having
to
pay
for
after-school
care
for
a
school
that
gets
out
of
115
or
155
that
will
drive
people
out
of
the
system
and
out
of
the
city
so
I,
you
know,
I,
counselor,
sabe,
George
and
I
have
worked
on
a
letter.
We
invite
people
to
sign
onto
it.
L
I
know
she'll
be
presenting
it
at
school
committee
tonight.
My
advice
is
that
we
hit
pause
on
this
plan
now,
having
a
hearing
makes
sense
and
we
should,
but
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
time
to
do
this,
that
the
student
assignment
process
will
begin
in
earnest
and
a
month
from
now.
L
So
my
advice
is
that,
as
we
talk
about
reconfigurations
of
schools,
as
we
talked
about
coming
down
with
fewer
school
model-
meaning
less,
you
know
a
kata
aid
as
opposed
to
K
to
5
or
K
to
6,
as
we
streamline
that
process,
which
is
something
that
we
all
support.
As
we
talk
about
school
consolidations,
let's
put:
let's
put
a
pause
right
now
on
any
changes
to
school
times.
J
L
I
do
not
support
these
changes
as
they're
presented
and
I
urge
and
strongest
possible
terms.
The
school
committee
to
use
the
opportunity
tonight
at
their
school
committee
meeting
and
its
subsequent
community
meetings
next
week
to
reverse
these
decisions.
I
think
it
is
really
incredibly
detrimental
to
the
Boston
Public
Schools
and
anything
we
can
do
to
change
that.
We
ought
to
be
doing.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
It
is
so
important
that
we
not
sacrifice
our
youngest
kids
in
order
to
do
what's
right
for
our
oldest
kids,
this
does
have
to
move
quickly
the
assignment
process,
the
enrollment
process,
the
signup
process
starts
the
very
first
week
of
January,
so
we
have
little
if
almost
no
time
left
and
what
strikes
me,
though,
is
this
continues
to
be
across
the
district,
a
problem
of
our
buses
driving
and
determining
what
happens
in
our
classrooms.
We
need
to
put
our
children
their
academic
success,
what
they
need,
first
and
foremost
at
the
top.
The
list.
E
When
we
talk
about
how
we're
going
to
run
our
schools,
the
policy
on
paper
is
good.
It
sets
some
great
goals.
High
schools
should
start
after
8
a.m.
hip,
hooray,
no
elementary
school
should
get
out
after
4
o'clock
hip-hip-hooray.
It
doesn't
mean
7:15
and
1:15
for
a
start
and
an
end
time
is
a
good
thing.
We
need
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
board.
Unfortunately,
we
need
to
figure
this
out.
E
We
need
to
do
what's
right,
for
our
kids
in
our
schools
in
the
city
of
Boston,
I
will
be
presenting
in
effect
the
same
comments
this
evening
at
school
committee,
and
we
need
to
do
this.
We
need
to
do
it
right
and
I
appreciate
the
response
that
we've
had
I
think
collectively
as
a
body
and
I
appreciate
the
reaction
and
the
the
passion
in
which
many
of
you
have
responded
to,
what's
really
become
a
crisis
for
our
families
and
our
kids
across
the
district.
Thank
you,
Thank.
C
C
Madame
clerk,
would
you
please
read
the
third
light
file
matter.
Please
offer
so
in
the
opinion
of
the
chair
rule
33.
So
let
me
just
explain,
madam
clerk,
could
you
please
read
the
please
read
the
title
of
the
order
and
the
summary
of
it,
and
then
we
will
address
whether
the
council
may
take
action
on
it.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
A
Offered
by
councillor
Jackson
and
City
Council
resolution
and
support
of
EPs
parents,
urging
the
Boston
School
Committee
to
hold
an
additional
meeting
to
cease
elementary
school
start
and
end
time.
Changes
for
the
2018
slash
2019
school
year,
whereas
Western
public
schools
must
finalize
the
new
start
and
end
times
before
the
beginning
of
their
registration
process
for
new
incoming
families
that
be
that
begins
in
January
on
January
3rd
2018.
A
C
You,
madam
clerk,
so
rule
33
states
that
no
matter
introduced
at
the
council
can
be
acted
on
on
the
same
day
unless
there's
unanimous
consent.
There
has
been
an
objection
required
registered
now
to
action
on
this
matter,
but
I
would
like
to
ask
councilor
Jackson
to
speak
on
this
matter
and
introduce
the
topic
councilor
Jack's
new,
to
the
floor.
Thank.
B
You
so
much,
madam
president,
first
I
actually
wholeheartedly
disagree
that
this
is
the
same
thing,
because
the
matter
before
us
actually
is
a
resolution.
That
would
mean
this
body
could
go
on
record
prior
to
the
January
3rd
date
in
which
young
people
and
their
parents
are
going
to
have
to
decide.
So
this
body
cannot
have
a
hearing
in
time
to
avert
this
process.
It
is
impossible
because,
as
of
today,
when
we
adjourn
there
are
no
more
committees
and
on
January
1st
you
get
sworn
in,
but
they
they
will
not.
B
You
have
the
opportunity
to
actually
put
a
hearing
forward
in
order
to
be
able
to
do
a
hearing
before
that
January
a
third
date,
so
I
just
want
to
go
on
record
and
note
that
that
it,
that
is
the
case.
First
I'd
like
to
thank
councilman,
O'malley
and
Anissa
Sabri
George
for
bringing
forward
common-sense
legislation
that
would
advance
the
opportunities
for
our
young
people.
What
we
heard
here
was
amazing:
200-point
increases
to
SAT
scores,
increased
safety,
increased
opportunities
for
our
young
people.
B
Great
things
were
happening
when
it
came
to
increasing
actually
ensuring
that
young
people
after
8:00
8:00
a.m.
had
an
opportunity
to
go
to
high
school
all
right.
We
know
that
that
is
that
there's
data
that
is
out
there.
Well,
you
know
what
there's
not
data
that
shows
that
young
people
can
the
garden
through
eighth
grade
actually
do
better.
So,
let's
understand
and
peel
back
what
the
school
school
committee
did
here,
the
school
committee
voted
in
principle
so
understand.
The
school
committee
did
not
actually
vote
on
these
times.
B
The
school
committee
voted
in
principle
last
Wednesday
for
start
times,
but
final
specific
times
were
not
formulated
until
the
following
day:
I'm
scratching
my
head
here
and
which
is
Thursday
so
the
school
committee
and
the
public
did
not
know
about
these
new
times.
So
we
were
all
in
agreement
and
and
by
the
way,
this
body
emphatically
agreed
about
the
high
school
times.
It
is
unfair
that
we
are
now
attached
to
something
that
disrupts
over
100
of
the
schools
in
our
district.
B
A
particular
concern
are
the
19
elementary
and
K
2
eights
that
have
been
assigned
a
715
start
time
of.
What's
approximately
nine
schools
will
have
a
dismissal
of
times
at
115.
I
was
a
meto.
Ladies
and
gentlemen.
I
got
up
early
every
single
day,
and
so
I
know
what
this
feels
like.
I
know
what
it
feels
like
to
stand
outside
in
the
dark,
especially
this
time
of
year
and
in
the
cold
concerns
have
been
raised.
B
Now
these
concerns
have
been
raised
by
students
and
parents
about
their
jobs,
which
is
something
that
we're
not
only
talking
about
student
jobs,
we're
also
talking
about
parents
who
have
to
work
working
parents
in
our
city
before
and
after
school
care,
which
many
parents
can't
afford
absolutely
will
not
be
able
to
afford
additional
money
out
of
their
pocket
and
likely
affecting
tens
of
thousands
of
Boston
residents,
young
and
old,
especially
single
parent
households.
The
state
of
black
Boston
report
came
out,
2010
2011
72%
of.
J
B
Families
in
the
city
of
Boston
are
single-parent
households
headed
by
women
there.
This
is
an
undue
burden.
This
may
adversely
affect
special
education
students
IEP
s,
but
the
bps
has
not
gone
through
each
individual
IEP
for
each
school.
That
is
affected
to
see
if
the
time
changes
break
the
sped
accommodations,
the
city
of
Boston
is
under
guidance
from
the
Department
of
Justice,
currently
around
what
we
do
with
our
special
education
students.
B
B
Prior
to
that,
so
the
school
committee
should
meet
before
this
deadline
and
if
they
honor
the
voices
of
engagement
and
of
the
public
than
they
will
do,
that,
there
are
10
public
meetings
next
week,
but
no
school
committee
meeting
to
reflect
the
feedback
the
public
will
give
before
and
actually
registration
begins
in
January,
and
so
all
I
was
simply
doing.
Madam
President
was
giving
this
body
an
opportunity
not
to
punt
on
this,
but
to
take
the
stand
to
use
our
backbone
on
this
and
say
this
is
too
fast.
B
It's
moving
in
the
wrong
direction
and
it's
affecting
too
many
people
all
at
one
time,
at
a
time,
by
the
way
when
parents
are
simply
trying
to
keep
their
kids
in
the
Boston
Public
Schools
to
support
this
school
district
and
they
do
what's
right
by
their
families,
and
so,
although
this
won't
be
moving
forward,
I
still
believe
that
this
body
and
the
members
of
this
body
need
to
take
an
emphatic
stand
prior
to
January
3rd
when
this
process
moves
forward.
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
president,.

You,

Ann

headmaster
for
the
Boston
Arts
Academy
testified
on
behalf
of
the
administration.
Boston
Arts
Academy
is
an
outstanding
program
in
a
deficient
facility.
The
history
of
this
project
dates
back
to
its
first
application
to
the
mass
school
building
Authority
in
2008.
Since
then,
the
project
has
evolved
to
its
current
proposal
as
a
state-of-the-art
facility
fully
rebuilt
at
its
current
location.
M
The
proposed
facility
will
accommodate
500
students
and
art
majors
and
will
include
a
500
seat
auditorium
black
box,
theater,
recording
studio,
dance
and
fitness
studios,
recital
and
lecture
halls
laboratories,
gymnasium
and
a
freight
elevator,
though
that
will
accommodate
a
grand
piano.
The
project
includes
widening
of
sidewalks,
adding
adding
student
drop-off
lanes
and
increasing
the
number
of
crosswalks
in
the
area.
M
The
total
cost
of
the
project
is
estimated
at
124
million,
seven
hundred
fifty-five
thousand
four
hundred
and
thirty
dollars
and
with
the
math
school
building
reimbursement,
the
city
could
recoup
a
little
under
48
million
for
that
project.
Construction
is
scheduled
to
be
completed
in
time
for
the
2021
school
year,
and
I
also
want
to
note
that
the
many
faculty
and
students
most
whom
will
not
benefit
from
this
project,
attended
in
support
of
the
project.
So
my
recommendation
is
to
take
our
second
vote
for
passage.
Thank
you.
Thank.

B
Steve
Murphy
for
the
opportunity
to
do
this
at
Hibernian
Hall,
it's
kind
of
interesting
in
Roxbury,
Hibernian
Hall
is
considered
the
Roxbury
Center
for
the
Arts
I,
don't
think
most
people
knew
that
it
was
the
order
of
the
Hibernians
and
the
connection
with
our
Irish
brothers
and
sisters,
and
so
I
think
it's
really
unique
that
that's
exactly
where
it
happened.
I
will
never
forget
that
day,
because
we
practice
everything
we
practice
where
I
was
going
to
stand
where
the
councillors
were
going
to
be
all
of
the
things
that
we
practice.
B
The
greatest
danger
of
most
of
us
is
not
that
our
aim
is
too
high
and
we
miss
it,
but
that
is
too
low
and
we
reach
it.
That's
my
fans,
Michelangelo
I,
shot
for
the
stars.
Let's
go
around
and
an
amazing
thing
happened
for
this
skinny
little
black
boy
from
Roxbury
who
was
born
to
a
13
year
old
mom,
who
have
been
assaulted
by
two
people
who
was
adopted
by
Herbert
and
Rosa
Jackson
who's.
One
of
eight
I
got
to
run
for
mayor
of
the
city
of
Boston
to
serve
the
city.
B
B
B
B
J
B
B
Enrique,
thank
you
for
being
the
intern,
who
just
wouldn't
leave
kind
of
like
that.
Guy
in
the
office
space
you
just
kept
on
your
internship
in
didn't
you
just
kept
on
coming
back.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
vision,
your
hopeful
view
of
all
things
in
our
city
and
your
understanding
that
young
people
can
actually
make
a
difference
and
I
want
to.
B
And
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
internship,
but
I
want
to
thank
you
for
hitting
the
ground
running,
never
being
flustered
dealing
with
all
of
the
craziness.
That
is
our
office
and
for
your
contribution
to
keeping
us
all
organized
on
track
and
focused
at
all
times.
You
have
been
an
amazing
addition
to
our
office
and
thank
you
for
your
service.
B
Justin
Brown
I
want
to
thank
you
for
putting
up
with
me.
You
live
in
the
same
house
as
I
do
so
you
have
to
deal
with
all
of
me.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
pushing
me
to
be
healthier
to
be
better
and
to
do
more
and
be
more.
You
have
been
one
of
the
most
motivating
factors
and
in
making
this
experience,
what
it
is,
I
am
motivated
and
inspired
by
you,
man,
I
love,
you
thank
you.
So
much.
B
So
to
my
colleagues,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
making
this
experience
wheel.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
challenging
me
for
making
me
more
understanding
stronger
and
having
more
resolve.
I
want
to
remind
you,
though,
that
the
most
common
way
people
give
up
their
power
is
by
thinking
they
don't
have
any.
Those
are
the
words
of
Alice
Walker
and
the
reason
why
I
remind
you
is
you're
gonna
read
in
the
paper
every
single
day,
this
body
is
a
weak,
City,
Council,
so
weak
body
weaken
we
don't
we
can't
do
anything.
B
We
don't
make
a
difference.
I
absolutely
wholeheartedly
disagree.
The
work
that
we
do
in
this
body
on
this
floor
is
honorable,
but
I
want
all
of
us
to
understand
that
we
can
do
more.
We
have
to
do
more.
The
people
in
our
neighborhoods,
the
people
in
our
communities
require
us
to
do
more.
There's
more
housing
issues
than
there's
ever
been
there's
more
violence
than
we've
seen
in
a
long
time
in
our
city
and
I.
B
Well,
we'll
give
the
kids
in
Roxbury
Dorchester
Matapan,
East,
Boston,
Charlestown,
Jamaica,
Plain,
Austin,
Brighton
the
same
chance,
the
same
opportunity,
the
same
value
in
same
funding
as
our
folks
in
Brookline
Weston
knew
Cambridge,
and
will
you
fight
for
it?
Well,
you
vote
against
the
budget
that
doesn't
meet
those
prerequisites
or
requirements.
B
B
B
We
have
more
than
enough
to
make
sure
that
we
can
do
right
by
our
young
people,
make
sure
that
we
can
do
right
by
the
businesses
that
are
not
represented
in
our
city.
We
have
more
than
enough
to
make
sure
that
we
can
make
sure
in
our
city
in
our
time
that
we
value
the
lives
of
every
person
in
our
city.
My
life
on
Blue,
Hill
Ave
means
the
same
as
a
life
on
Commonwealth
F.
We
can
do
that
in
our
time.
B
We
can
deal
with
and
and
appreciate
the
globe,
doing
a
extensive,
exhaustive
restating
of
many
of
the
issues
of
our
time.
Many
of
the
things
that
they're
talking
about
are
exactly
what
I've
talked
about
for
the
past
year.
We
live
in
a
city
that
a
white
family
has
a
median
net
worth
of
two
hundred
and
forty
seven
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
and
a
black
family
has
a
median
net
worth
of
eight
dollars
and
in
my
district
and
I
say
it
all.
B
B
With
all
of
those
things,
I
would
just
know
I'm
proud
of
the
work
that
I've
done
here.
I'm
proud
of
the
fights
that
I've
waged
here
in
particular
question
number
two,
and
it
was
our
body,
our
city,
who
I
believe,
made
the
big
splash
in
the
state
of
Massachusetts
to
say
that
we
are
going
to
back
up
our
public
schools
that
we're
going
to
back
up
our
public
school
parents
and
that
we're
gonna
do
right
by
uplifting
all
students,
not
just
some
students.
B
B
B
My
last
word:
there
was
much
more
work
to
do
and
I
ran
not
because
of
an
individual,
but
I
ran
because
of
the
issues
and
I
encouraged
my
friend
mayor
Walsh,
to
continue
to
work
steadfastly
on
these
issues
because
we're
Boston
and
we
can
actually
fix
the
things
that
lie
before
us.
Our
best
days
are
ahead
of
us,
not
behind
us
and
I
leave.
You
with
I
believe
one
of
the
best
poets
of
the
21st
century.
B
N
I
I
I
On
the
first
floor,
they
only
spoke
Italian
I
wanted
to
tell
them
a
story
about
my
mother.
In
my
aunt's.
In
those
days
the
girls
we
had
to
quit
school
early,
so
they
go
work
and
support
their
family,
but
I
also
wanted
to
tell
them
that
if
you
work
hard
in
our
city
that
there
is
opportunities
for
you,
I
was
the
first
one
and
my
Italian
immigrant
family,
to
go
to
college
and
graduate
first
one
yeah.
I
When
I
look
around
this
chamber,
I
am
so
proud
of
all
my
fellow
councillors
here
in
the
work
that
you
contribute
to
make
Boston
a
better
city.
Josh
your
work
and
immigrants,
immigration
rights,
voter
rights,
Ayana
women
issues,
I
love,
you
doing
women
issues,
because
it
reminds
me
that
opportunities
that
my
mother,
my
ass
in
half
and
do
I
go
when
I
talked
to
my
immigrants,
families
and
particularly
woman
I,
tell
them
well.
You
could
go
on
to
college
and
to
better
things,
Matt
the
environment,
to
issues
that
you
work
on
so
important.
I
I
Timmy
Timmy
I
appreciate
the
work
that
you
do
on
basis.
City
services
you
and
I
come
from
the
same
stock.
We
started
Neighborhood
Services,
you
went
to
public
works
I'm
with
the
Transportation
Department
I
appreciate
you.
The
basicity
service
is
so
important
until
the
work
that
you
do
with
public
education
is
so
important
and
the
issues
you
bring
up
in
the
black
community
is
so
so
important.
I
I
Mark,
thank
you
for
your
work.
For
years
and
years
you
work
as
chairman
ways
and
means
you
know
that
budget
inside
all
and
you
always
work
on
behalf
of
us
negotiating
with
the
administration.
So
thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
that
I'm
very
Akama
I
am
so
proud
of
you.
I
am
really
so
proud
of
you.
You're
gonna,
be
a
great
city
council
president
and
looking
for
good
things
that
happen
in
the
city
with
you
and
I
appreciate
the
work
that
you
have
done
with
Public
Safety
and
work
with
the
police.
I
I
But
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
have
done
in
this
council,
particularly
the
small
businesses
that
was
so
important
to
our
neighborhoods
in
a
climate
change.
Thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
that
I'm
so
proud
of
every
single
one
of
you,
because
what
you
are
doing
and
you're
doing
your
part
to
make
Boston
better
City,
so
every
kid
would
have
that
opportunity
to
live
in
a
city.
A
great
city
I'm
also
proud
that
on
this
council
that
we
have
worked
together
for
my
11
years
here,
you
know
particularly
last
few
years
as
a
council.
I
We
work
as
a
one
body
and
traveling
and
John
Lucci
would
tell
you
in
the
past.
It
was
never
like
that
there
would
be
fights,
they'll
be
dropping
dimes.
That
hasn't
happened
here,
yeah
and
it's
because
we
all
work
together
and
I
always
said
that
and
something
I
learned
as
a
kid
and
Jimmu
grains
here
and
he's
Boston
camps
is
a
win.
I'll
give
all
game
and
that's
what
we
did.
We
all
gave
yeah.
I
Well
guess
what
the
city
game,
because
we
all
work
together
and
for
that
I
am
so
grateful
as
they
look
back
in
my
career
and
government.
I
have
had
the
opportunity
to
work
for
three
minutes
and
actually,
if
you
count
my
days
as
a
life
guide
and
the
water
safety
instructor,
I
actually
worked
at
Ford
Mears,
including
Kevin
white,
but
I
am
so
thankful
for
mere
Flynn.
For
give
me
the
opportunity
to
work
in
his
offices.
I
Neighborhood
Services
in
1987
and
I
was
his
neighborhood
coordinator
for
the
North
planning
and
East
Boston,
and
he
also
gave
me
the
opportunity
to
work
on
a
central
honoree
project
that
I
worked
on
for
many
many
years,
which
was
the
largest
public
works
projects
in
the
country.
At
his
time
and
working
with
the
neighborhood's,
we
really
changed.
We
really
changed
the
landscape
with
the
city
of
Boston
for
the
better
I'm,
so
proud
of
that
work.
That
I
did
with
the
neighborhood
folks
in
the
administration
and
the
state
on
that
project.
I
How
lucky
am
I
to
have
20
years
I
spent
20
years
with
memory
needle
but
I
actually
met
him
in
1987?
What
his
office
was
next
to
Trev
and
I
was
so
proud.
I
worked
so
hard
for
him.
I
was
so
proud
when
he
became
the
first
Italian
there
in
the
city
of
Boston
I.
Don't
think
the
people
the
north
end
of
East
Boston?
Are
you
Italian
Americans
in
our
city
ever
thought?
I
I
So
thirty
years
ago,
I
love
that
picture
thirty
years
ago,
when
I
was
off
of
the
job
to
work
for
Mayor
Menino
I
was
working
at
Crossroads,
Family
Shelter
at
the
time,
and
we
were
about
to
get
married
and
a
lot
of
our
friends
and
families
moved
off
in
East
Boston,
and
so
we
had
to
make
that
decision.
If
we
were
going
to
stay
in
his
boss
and
we're
gonna
move
out,
and
my
wife
said
to
me
that
we
gotta
take
care
of
our
neighborhood
East
Boston.
I
So
we
stayed
and
with
that,
we
made
a
difference.
This
neighborhood
to
my
beautiful
daughter,
leiana
who's
here
with
a
boyfriend
angel
Leanna.
You
have
made
me
so
proud
and
when
you
talk
about
the
opportunities
for
people
in
the
young
people
of
city
of
Boston,
there's
opportunities
that
you
took
advantage.
You
went
to
Boston
Latin
and
you
graduated
Boston
Latin.
I
She
went
to
be
you
on
the
city
of
Boston
scholarship,
a
city
of
Boston
scholarship
and
that's
the
opportunities
that
we
have
in
this
city,
that
if
you
go
to
school
and
you
graduate
from
Boston
Public
Schools,
you
have
opportunities
I'm.
So
probably
when
she's
in
law
school,
we
gotta.
Thank
you
for
working
on
all
my
campaigns,
marching
in
all
those
praise
to
me.
You're
awesome,
my
staff.
I
I
I
I
want
to
thank
the
City
Council
staff,
thank
rise
city
council
staff
because
they
may
well,
they
may
call
us
City
Council's,
look
good,
so
there's
a
staff.
Thank
you
all
for
the
work
that
you've
done
and
do
for
me
in
the
City
Council.
Thank
you
very
much,
but
I
also
want
to,
most
importantly,
think
is
the
city
of
Boston
employees,
who
deserve
a
lot
of
recognition,
and
they
really
don't.
Sometimes
I
really
appreciate
the
work
that
they
do,
particularly
coming
from
those
departments
of
basic
city
services.
I
I
appreciate
public
works,
the
Parks,
Department
transportation
department,
code
enforcement,
the
police
department,
all
those
basic
city,
services
departments
that
I
work
closely
every
single
day
and
I'm
neighborhood.
Looking
so
much
better
today
because
of
the
folks
that
work
in
those
departments
and
I'm
so
grateful
for
them
and
I
also
want
to
thank
the
mayor
again
for
putting
some
really
good
people
in
those
positions
in
his
administration.
I
Those
guys
looked
after
me
as
a
young
kid
growing
up
in
East
Boston
made
sure
that
I
was
doing
the
right
things.
I
am
so
so
so
fortunate
to
have
them.
My
life
in
my
political
life,
Roberts
for
a
vallini,
so
I
have
known
trav,
probably
since
I
was
13
years
old,
and
so
when
I
worked
for
for
mayor
Flynn
I
was
in
his
office,
probably
every
single
day,
but
I
learned
from
trav
that
politics
is
about
helping
people
every
day.
I
I
So
the
last
few
years,
I
really
had
opportunity
to
work
with
some
awesome.
Great
guys
in
my
neighborhood
in
my
district.
I
really
should
use
this
time
to
roast
them
because
they
did
a
number
on
me
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
particularly
senator
Anthony
Petrocelli,
but
Anthony.
He
was
part
of
the
Menino
family.
When
he
first
came
out
of
college,
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
June
Lombardi's
office.
I
He
worked
in
Neighborhood
Services
and
we
worked
together
closely
together.
In
those
days
we
had
to
fight.
Sometimes
in
the
neighborhood
we've
got
that
Early
Learning
Center,
yeah
I
have
worked
on
his
campaign
to
be
the
representative
and
the
state
senator
and
you
really
serve
as
probably
Anthony.
So
thank
you
for
being
here.
I
I
really
appreciate
that
Kalwa
basil
could
not
be
here,
but
he
was
so
in
that
we
really
enjoyed
working
with
Aaron
Michael
wits
is
here
representing
Michael
was
from
the
north
end,
Aaron
I
would
say
you're
like
a
son,
but
in
seldom
he's
still
here
dad,
but
we
have
worked
together
since
day,
one
as
a
team
in
the
north
end
as
a
team,
and
you
are
doing
amazing
stuff
at
the
Statehouse.
You
have
a
great
great
future,
I'm
so
proud
to
call
you
a
friend.
I
We
spent
a
lot
of
Patriots
together
on
Miss
Pacers.
They
together
do
that
little
parade
to
downtown
in
the
north
and
we
survived
the
Boston
Marathon
bombing.
But
thank
you
for
being
a
really
really
good
friend.
I
know
senator
said
that
deep
Dominical
is
not
here
and
damn
Ryan,
who
my
good
friends
from
child's
toy
that
had
an
opportunity
to
work
closely
with
damn
Ryan
my
ran
against
him.
I
We've
ran
against
each
other
for
the
special
election
and
we
became
really
good
friends
and
I
credit
Dan
Ryan
for
bringing
child
sound
together
because
in
child
sound
those
days
was
a
the
tines
of
the
two
knees
and
they
didn't
know
the
Salomon
Tina
from
East
Boston,
so
they
all
supported
damn
Ryan,
which
they
should
have,
and
he
brought
that
time
together
and
cell
deeds.
A
minute
ago,
Hawaii
call
little
Sal
in
child
saw
magic,
two
cells
represented
in
child
style.
How
awesome
is
that,
but
I'll
miss
Sal.
I
He
did
he's
doing
a
great
job
at
the
state,
health
and
I
hope.
There's
a
great
future
representative,
Adrienne
Madero
he's
home
watching
us
because
he's
sick,
but
poor
ager,
and
he
has
caller
one
side
of
me
and
the
other
side,
but
he's
turned
out
to
be
a
really
great
great
represented
so
I'm
so
proud
of
about
Adrian
and
Senators
job
on
quarry.
I
I
wish
I
had
more
time
to
spend
with
him,
but
I
think
he's
gonna
do
a
great
job,
I'm
so
fortunate
to
have
some
former
city
councilors
and
one
thing
about
what
I
love
about
East
Boston
is
we
help
each
other
and
we
support
each
other
join
new
cheese
here
and
Diane
Monica,
Thank,
You,
Diane
and
John.
So
Diane
gives
me
more
advice,
join
new
cheese,
always
texted
me
when
he's
stuck
in
traffic,
like
he's
been
more
like
a
constituent
lately,.
J
I
I
really
we're
really
gonna
work
well
together
and
I'm
staying
in
East
Boston
I'm,
not
going
anywhere
so
I
appreciate
that
up,
you'll
be
here
working
for
the
people,
I
just
went
into
the
wanna
know:
people
with
child
South,
East,
Boston
and
nothing
I
went.
Thank
you.
Forgive
me
this
incredible
opportunity
to
serve
you
in
this
Boston
City
Council.
I
I
I'm
thinking
my
mother,
because
my
mother
took
me
and
I'm
gonna
say
a
jog
I,
don't
care.
My
mother
took
me
to
an
anti
busing
rally
in
1974,
because
my
mother
believed
in
neighborhood
schools
and
today,
as
we're
talking
about
her
early
start
times
right
as
we
talk
about
early
start
times,
it's
all
because
of
us
in
afraid,
I
have
to
use
all
that
money
on
transportation
and
we're
going
back
to
neighborhood
schools,
because
this
is
a
different
city
than
it
was
in
74.
I
We
have
a
better
city
today
than
it
was
in
1974
and
I'm.
Looking
at
all
that
money
and
we
could
be
spending
in
our
schools
so
ma
you
were
right
and
enough.
Finally,
to
my
colleagues,
I
won't
miss
every
single
one,
but
please
I
asked
that
we
work
together
continue
to
work
together,
because
our
city
is
a
better
city.
When
we
work
together.
Hof
city
is
a
stronger
city.
When
we
work
together,
I
will
miss
working
here
as
City.
Hall
has
been
remarkable
30
years
in
city
government
and
I.
I
C
Thank
You
counsel,
Amma
Tina,
so
we'll
open
it
up
at
this
point
to
colleagues
feel
free
to
stand
and
address
both
of
our
colleagues
at
the
same
time
or
just
one
and
then
take
a
second
round
later,
we'll
keep
going
around
until
everybody
said
with
everything
they
want
to
say
so,
we'll
start
first
counsel,
Malik
you
have
the
floor.
Thank.
L
L
Now
my
campaign
manager,
when
I
had
run
for
City
Council
at
large,
was
also
named
Dan
Ryan,
a
different
Dan
Ryan,
there's,
probably
4,000
Dan
Ryan's
in
the
city
of
Boston,
but
the
East
Boston's
son,
somehow
confused
the
names
and
wrote
that
I
was
running
dan
Ryan's
campaign.
I
had
never
met
Dan
Ryan
at
that
time,
so
my
first
call
wasn't
to
sells
to
Michael
Kearney,
be
saying
it's
not
me
and
then
my
second
call
is
to
sell,
and
that
began
a
great
friendship.
L
Among
his
colleagues
and
there's
very
good
reason
for
that,
because
he's
the
genuine
article
he
gets
it.
His
work
ethic
is
legendary.
I
welled
up
when
you
weld
up
talking
about
our
friend
and
the
one
of
the
greatest
mayors.
This
world
has
ever
seen:
Tom,
Menino
and
Sal
I
think
you
are
just
like
Tom
Menino
and
your
love
for
the
city
and
the
fact
that
you
never
stopped
and
in
the
fact
that
it's
about
collaboration,
it's
about
bringing
people
together,
and
that
is
a
rarity
in
politics.
L
L
I
know,
mayor
Walsh
was
kind
enough
to
give
you
a
Paul,
Revere,
Bowl
and
I
know
it'll
be
sitting
behind
you
in
whatever
office
you
are
sitting
in
next
year
and
when
people
ask
what's
that
you're,
not
gonna,
say
a
Paul
Revere
bowl
you're
gonna
say
this
is
some
guy
from
the
North
End
made
these
bowls
and
I
am
just
a
better
counselor
because
of
your
friendship
and
guidance
and,
quite
frankly,
I
think
I'm,
a
better
person
for
the
same
reasons.
You
will
be
deeply
deeply
and
dearly
missed.
L
Tito
Jackson
I
was
proud,
along
with
Tom
Dougherty,
to
do
robocalls
four
counts
for
for
candidate
Jackson
and
his
at-large
run
in
2009.
He
came
up
a
little
short
as
I
did
in
my
at-large
run.
He
myself
Rob
can
solve
oh
I.
Think
our
three
individuals
who
and
unsuccessful
at-large
runs
that
then
translate
into
successful
district
runs
and
it's
better
because
we
work
harder
as
district
councillors
and
do
more
as
district
councillors.
L
But
one
of
the
things
I
loved
after
after
that
you
know
we
became
real
friends
and
and
worked
closely
and
governor
Patrick's
re-election
in
2010
when
I
got
the
call
that
my
predecessor,
John
Tobin,
was
stepping
down
and
decided
to
run
for
this
and
Teta
returned
the
favor,
and
it
was
a
great
friendship
that
came
from
that.
I
won
a
special
in
November
of
2010,
the
following
March
in
2011
Tito
became
counselor,
elect
Jackson
and
I
was
glad
you
mentioned
his
swearing-in
and
then
council
president
Murphy
presided
over
in
Hibernian
Hall.
L
You
find
that
common
ground
and,
like
I,
said
because
there
allow
my
team
the
same
holds
true
for
you
were
better
I'm,
a
better
counselor
because
of
our
friendship
and
I'm,
certainly
a
better
person
for
the
same
reasons
we
haven't
always
seen
eye
to
eye,
but
that
never
stopped
us
from
watching
the
Patriots
at
Kelleher's
in
Roslindale
and
always
having
a
great
time.
Both
of
you
guys
will
be
so
missed
from
the
body.
L
We
are
lucky
each
and
every
one
of
us
have
phenomenal
staffs
that
make
us
as
good
and
as
effective
as
we
are,
and
we
know
they'll
still
be
working
in
some
capacity,
obviously,
but
we're
grateful
for
all
of
your
staff,
both
of
your
staffs
and
then
on
this
note
you
know,
as
a
wise
man
once
said,
we
all
gave
we
all
gain
you
both
have
given
and
given
and
given
in
this
city,
has
gained
and
gained
and
gained.
Thank
you
very
much.
My
friends,
we
will
miss
you,
but
we
know
we
will.
L
We
will
see
you
so.
Lastly,
before
I
see
the
mic.
I
also
wanted
to
acknowledge
Michelle
will,
as
her
presidency
comes
to
a
and
today
or
whenever
I
guess
genuine
president-elect
comes
in
Michelle.
You
have
led
this
body
with
honor
with
dignity.
You've
been
a
visionary
in
many
respects.
You've
really
helped
this
city,
and
this
body
move
forward
and
I
am
proud
of.
You.
I
was
proud
to
eventually
voted
for
you
for
council
president
and
proud
of
the
type
of
leader
that
you
that
you
were
truly.
L
H
Okay,
you
know
a
couple
of
us
are
still
gonna
hold
that
down
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
thinking
of
that
very
proud
history,
Italian
Americans,
built
this
city,
brick
by
brick
and
you've
done
the
same
thing.
Building
upon
that
legacy
and
I'm
just
reminded
of
our
first
meeting
I
was
meeting
with
Sal
to
ask
for
his
support
and
he
was
such
a
gentleman
and
very
honest
from
the
beginning
that
I
wouldn't
be
getting
it.
But
but
he
said
he
really
liked
me.
H
You
have
been
principled
and
your
parochialism,
you
are
sincere
and
authentic.
Your
work
ethic
is
unparalleled.
Thank
you
for
your
love
of
your
neighborhood,
of
your
district
of
city
government
and
of
our
city
I.
Thank
you
for
your
early
support
on.
You
know
everything
from
liquor
license
reform
to
my
efforts
to
strengthen
pathways
to
graduation
for
expected
and
parenting.
Teens
you've
always
stood
up
and
supported
my
work
around
trauma.
I.
Thank
you
for
that
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
standing
up
for
the
dreamers.
H
You
know
that
will
certainly
be
a
part
of
your
legacy
in
your
tenure
as
a
city.
Councillor
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
you
are
a
loving
and
dedicated
husband
and
father,
and
just
such
your
character,
just
the
measure
of
a
man.
You
know
truthfully.
So
just
thank
you
for
being
the
man
that
you
are.
Thank
you
for
the
being
the
public
servant
that
you
have
been
and
in
closing
I'll
just
say
that
you
certainly
have
eesti
pride
and
we
all
have
pride
in
you.
So
thank
you
for
your
service.
H
Philosophical
and
political
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
fire
in
the
belly
to
serve
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
faithfulness
to
your
cause
and
I,
even
want
to
say
your
faithfulness
to
God,
because
in
so
many
ways
every
step
that
you've
taken
has
been
proof
of
your
faith
and,
as
you
often
talk
about
God's
grace
in
your
life,
when
I
think
about
the
fact
that
you
were
a
redshirt
and
served
in
the
mayor's
Youth
Council
and
now
I
serve
as
a
city
councilor
and
ran
for
mayor.
So
I.
H
Thank
you
for
your
fire
in
the
belly
to
service
your
faithfulness
to
your
cause.
I.
Thank
you
for
your
fearlessness
in
the
pursuit
of
equity
and
justice
I.
Thank
you
for
your
love
of
community,
your
pride
of
district,
seven
for
being
a
passionate
advocate
for
youth,
for
peace,
for
education,
for
innovation,
for
small
business
and
you're,
certainly
not
shy,
but
I
will
say
one
of
the
things
I
will
forever
be
indebted
to
you
for
and
I
have
had.
So
many
of
these
moments
with
you
is
the
quiet
moments
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you.
H
You
know
many
people
don't
know
this,
but
when
my
mother
was
on
life
support
for
three
months,
you
know
Tito
came
to
the
hospital
every
night.
You
know
they
told
me
that
your
body
was
there,
but
she
wasn't
there
anymore,
but
I
didn't
care,
I,
never
wanted
her
to
be
alone
and
every
night
he
came
at
midnight
and
relieved
me,
so
she
wouldn't
be
alone.
H
Women
who
have
been
violated
or
exploited
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
those
quiet
moments
that
the
world
will
know
those
names,
but
each
of
those
people
are
keenly
aware
will
never
forget,
as
will
I
and
finally,
I
do
just
want
to
say
about
district.
Seven
I
was
reminding
a
report
of
the
other
day
that
it
wasn't
that
long
ago
that
the
lion's
share
of
the
racial
diversity
on
his
body
were
men
of
color
and
it's
a
very
proud
tradition.
H
You
honor
the
leadership
legacy
of
d7o
so
well
and
since
I
know
you
love
quotes
I'm
reminded
of
I,
guess
it
wasn't
a
quote,
but
a
description
of
someone
that
I
know
has
been
a
great
influence
in
your
life
and
the
lives
of
so
many
of
us
by
his
inspiring
example,
and
it
was
an
article
written
about
Mel
King
and
they
described
him
as
follows:
Crusader
educator
ex
legislator,
former
mayoral
candidate
neighborhood
stalwart
technology
buff,
you
are
in
good
company.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
R
You
Madam
President
I,
want
to
thank
both
of
our
departing
colleagues
for
their
friendship
for
their
support.
When
I
first
started
running
to
join
this
body,
both
of
you
were
there
to
offer
advice,
to
offer
guidance
to
offer
support,
and
when
we
came
in
to
this
building
you
know
Tito.
Your
office
is
still
right
next
to
right
next
to
mine
over
there,
it
was
easy
to
just
poke
our
head
in
whether
it
was
me
one
of
my
staff
and
the
same
at
Sal's
office.
If
we
had
a
question,
I
said
how
do
you
file
this?
R
Would
you
call
over
an
ISD
for
this
particular
issue,
especially
in
the
first
few
months,
both
of
you
and
your
teams
were
so
helpful
and
it
made
a
huge
difference
for
me
for
my
team
and
for
the
people
we
represent
in
district
8.
Salas
I
got
to
know
you
our
time
here.
Is
you
know,
learning
more
and
more
about
how
much
you
cared
not
just
about
the
people
you
represent,
although
there's
no
mistake
that
you
first
care
most
about
the
people
you
represent
in
your
district,
it
was
a
great
partnership.
R
I
think
and
your
guidance
and
support
was
so
important
and
I.
Think
I
can't
recall
my
time.
We
had
disagreement
not
of
any
substantive
disagreement,
but
I
do
remember
a
couple
of
times
and
you
said
to
me:
you
sure
you're
gonna
do
this.
You
sure
that's
a
good
idea
going
out
front
on
this
issue,
but
I
know,
as
as
Ayanna
mentioned,
about
your
support
for
dreamers
when
I
did
file
the
trust
Act.
R
Now,
three
and
a
half
years
ago,
maybe
more
I
think
you
were
the
first
call
after
after
we
filed
that,
and
you
said
I'm
there
I
support
you.
We
need
to
do
this.
We
can
do
this,
for
the
people
in
your
district.
You
need
is
for
the
people
in
the
city
of
boss
and
to
make
sure
that
they
feel
safe.
They
are
protected,
that
they
can
trust
the
police
department
and
that's
something
that
I
think
a
lot
of
people
probably
don't
know.
R
A
lot
of
people
probably
don't
know
how
strong
you
have
been
in
defense
of
civil
rights
and
equality.
The
time
we've
been
together
on
this
Kalin,
it's
been
alluded
to
it's
been
talked
about
by
many
of
us.
I
think
over
certainly
this
session
today,
but
over
the
past
few
years
of
this
body
has
really
always
at
least
as
long
as
most
of
us
at
this
point
have
been
here.
I
guess:
I'm
get
about
middle
range
seniority.
R
Now,
though,
you
guys
are
leaving,
which
is
a
little
scary
to
think
about,
but
this
body
has
always
stood
together,
I
think
and
often
defied
stereotypes
and
often
defied
expectations
to
speak
with
one
voice
and
issues
of
justice
inequality.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
work
together
outside
this
building
and
wherever
you're
gonna
go.
It's
it's
been
a
joy
and
a
pleasure
and
honor
to
work
with
you
here.
R
Yeah
councillor,
Jackson
been
a
friend
someone
who
have
I
enjoyed
watching
Patriots
games
with
enjoyed
watching
super
balls
with
enjoyed
sampling,
some
of
the
finer
establishments
in
my
district
and
where
our
districts
come
together,
certainly
sometimes
after
dark,
sometimes
sometimes
not,
but
I
do
want.
It.
R
I
want
to
thank
you,
though,
as
I
already
said,
for
your
guidance
and
your
support,
but
you
know
for
your
moral
compass
and
the
way
you
have
been
unwavering
in
the
time
we've
been
here,
know
what
you
believe
is
right
and
what
you're
gonna
do
and
what
you
do
not
just
for
your
constituents,
but
for
all
the
people
call
Boston
home
who
work
here.
Who
visit
here,
who
live
here?
I,
especially
want
to
thank
you
for
staking
out
positions
on
some
of
these
issues,
which,
when
I
thought
I,
was
getting
a
little
out
there.
R
You
made
me
look
much
more
moderate
and
a
lot
of
these
things.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
appreciate
it.
It's
it's
made
life
a
little
easier
for
me
on
some
of
those
things,
but
it's
been
was
proud
to
support.
So
many
of
the
causes
you
championed
in
our
first
term,
my
first
term.
Rather,
we
had
the
education
committee
and
I
was
chairing
the
Civil
Rights
Committee,
as
we
both
still
do
no
initiative,
equity
and
justice
in
the
public
schools,
the
student
school
buses
for
middle
school
students.
Thank
you
you
and
others.
R
Certainly
I
think
made
me
more
effective
legislator
here,
a
better
representative
for
my
constituents
so
well.
Thank
you
both
for
that
I
know.
We've
not
heard
the
last
of
either
of
you
I
think
in
this
building,
probably
not
even
in
this
chamber
and
I,
look
forward
to
continuing
that
work
together
and
I
hope
you
guys
will
enjoy
holiday
season.
Maybe
take
it
easy
a
little
bit
for
a
while,
but
I
look
forward
to
what's
coming
next
and
I
look
forward
to
spending
more
time
with
both
of
you.
Thank
you
and
I.
J
R
Want
to
neglect,
though
Madam
President
he's
not
going
anywhere
except
I.
Guess
we're
gonna
be
back
next
to
me
all
right.
You
know,
I
just
I
want
to
say
we're
standing
in
a
beautiful
renovated
chamber
that
is
more
accessible
to
the
people,
the
city
of
Boston,
because
of
your
leadership
you
have
tackled.
You
certainly
have
time
to
tackle
the
big
issues
and
you
have
done
that,
but
what
people
often
forget,
I
think
about
the
president's
role
and
councilor
Campbell.
R
Look
you
can
look
forward
to
this
is
all
the
things
that
we
see
that
we
don't
see,
managing
this
institution
and
I
can't
think
of
a
better
example
than
the
chamber
were
sitting
in
now.
It's
not
just
these
are
new
desks.
It's
that
we
have
areas
for
folks
who
are
not
who
have
mobility
impaired,
to
come
and
testify,
who
don't
have
to
come
down.
Unsafe
ramps
has
happened
in
a
hearing
that
we
were
co-chairing
a
couple
years
ago,
which
led
to
this
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you
for
that.
R
N
Q
Cuz
I
have
to
go
to
the
bathroom,
listen
I'm,
gonna,
keep
it
light
like
this
is
like
a
funeral,
so
you
know
right
now.
You
guys
like
work
hard.
You
call
everybody
back.
Yeah
City
loves
you,
you
love
the
city,
we
got
it,
we
got
it,
they
covered
all
that.
So
let's
just
get
got
in
it's
true.
The
city
does
love
you
and
blah
blah
blah.
So
Tito
Jackson,
we've
been
friends
before
years.
Hibernian
Hall
didn't
know
that
story
had
no
idea.
Q
You're
Irish
that
might
have
helped
you
in
district
5,
I'm,
just
sayin,
might
have
helped
you
black
out.
Well,
I
tan,
it
pretty
good
you've
been
a
good
friend.
I
knew
you
were
gonna,
be
alright.
When
we
we
became
good
friends
over
in
Israel
and
before
we
laughed
the
trip
we
were
supposed
to
be
roommates
and
God's.
Honest
truth.
Tito
walked
out
to
me.
He
goes
brother
I
snore,
like
you
would
not
believe.
Thank
you.
You
do
not
want
this
to
happen
and
thank
thank
God.
It
didn't
happen.
Q
Q
Salim
attina,
January,
20th,
1993
first
day,
I
met
you,
you
don't
remember
this
and,
like
matt
said
it
was
on
a
phone
call,
because
you
and
Baker
and
Fiona
are
always
on
the
phone
for
the
record,
but
when
I
walked
in
actually
I
looked
over,
that
thought
it
was
an
Italian
flag.
Raising
was
gonna
happen.
Q
That's
the
first
time,
I've
seen
everybody
in
the
same
room
together
and
McGuire
was
walking
me
around
my
first
day
in
room
708
in
the
central
artery
tunnel
project
team
was
next
door
and
an
McGuire's
walking
me
around
she's
introducing
two
different
people.
She
said.
Well,
let
me
let
me
take
you
into
the
central
artery
tunnel
project.
At
the
time
Peter
Walsh
was
your
boss,
I
met
Peter
and
Sue,
and
everybody,
and
then
there's
you
you're
in
the
corner.
Q
Yeah
the
office
like
kind
of
facing
the
the
Quincy
Market
and
you
were
yelling
at
this
guy
on
the
phone.
This
is
my
first
day
ever
like
in
a
real
job.
I
know
you
find
it
hard
to
believe
and
all
I
remember
you
saying
is,
like
you
don't
know
what
you're
talking
about
this
is
gonna,
be
the
greatest
thing
that
ever
happened
to
the
city
of
Boston
and
you
hang
up.
The
phone
I
was
like
well.
F
Q
N
E
The
floor,
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
am
I.
Think
about
sort
of
my
my
thoughts
about
the
two
of
you
and
I,
really
think
about
today
for
ratito
and
Sal
that
this
is
a
joyous
celebration
of
the
work
that
you've
been
able
to
do
both
that
I've
been
able
to
witness
firsthand
up
close
the
last
two
years,
but
then
also
over
the
the
legacy
of
your
career.
So
far
in
Tina
you
talked
about
the
best
days
ahead
and,
and
the
best
days
are
truly
ahead
and
and
Tina.
E
You
talk
so
much
about
that
and
you've
referenced
it
many
times
on
this
council
floor
and
I.
Think
about
all
that
you
haven't
done
to
fill
that
yet
and
and
since
you're
younger
than
me,
you've
got
so
much
more
time
to
fill.
That
and
I
can't
wait
to
watch
that
and
I
think
about
and
I
take
from
you
and
what
I.
E
I
want
I
want
you
to
know
that
I
have
never
along
the
way,
doubted
your
heart
in
your
soul,
down
to
the
core
for
these
kids
and-
and
you
know
that
those
kids
are
so
important
to
me
and
I
want
to
keep
that
for
me
as
you
go
and
I
wrote
down
what
you
said
when
you
were
speaking
that
that
candle
loses
nothing
when
it
lights.
Another
candle
and
I
came
here
with
my
own
agenda.
E
I've
come
here
with
my
own
work
and
my
own
interests,
but
I
want
you
to
know
that
that
lack
of
fear
that
you
have
and
that
passion
that
you
have
you've,
let
that
in
me
and
I'd
like
to
think
I've,
got
a
little
bit
of
a
candle
myself,
but
you
that
much
stronger
and
they
think
that
much
brighter
and
I
remember
after
I
lost
in
2013
when
I
first
ran
for
counselor
at
lodge.
Thank
you
Matt
I.
E
You
called
me
and
you
said
I
know
you're
a
sista.
You
said
that
quote
to
me
and
I
said
Thank
You
Tito,
you
were
acknowledging
me.
You
are
seeing
me
and
so
much
of
this
work
that
we've
been
able
to
do
together,
although
sometimes
it
was
difficult
for
the
both
of
us,
because
I
think
we
embody
very
similar
passion,
very
similar
commitment.
E
But
you
acknowledged
me-
and
you
heard
me
and
you
listen
to
me
and
you
were
able
to
work
with
me
and
you
were
able
to
give
me
when
you
worked
without
fear
and
when
you
worked
with
that
deep
passion,
you
were
able
to
give
that
to
me
and
empower
some
of
the
work
that
I've
been
able
to
do
and
I
I
want
to.
Thank
you
for
that
and
I
want
you
to
know
that
I
am
so
proud
of
you
and
all
that
you've
been
able
to
do
and
so
excited
for
all.
E
That's
ahead
of
you
and
I
can't
I.
Just
can't
wait
to
watch
and
I
can't
wait
to
applaud,
applaud
that
and
I
want
you
to
know
that
the
best
days
the
best
days
are
ahead
for
you.
So
I
actually
met
salad
very
different
way
than
many
of
you.
I
met
him
when
I
was
coaching
Liana
as
her
first
softball
coach
in
East,
Boston
and
thinking
about
all
the
fun
we
had
I
think
she
was
about
six
or
seven
years
old
and
you
know
teaching
what
a
great
group
of
girls
and
East
he
had
a
play.
E
E
She
thinks
she's
gonna
get
into
politics
and
I
have
worn
my
blue
and
gold
for
you
today,
cuz
I
I
know
your
deep
love
for
East
Boston
and
to
even
stand
next
to
you
and
talk
about
eesti
makes
me
so
proud
and
so
happy
and
to
be
able
to
call
you
friend,
even
after
being
elected
to
this
body
and
in
public
rooms.
You
saying
out
loud,
really
afraid
of
her
I
didn't
know
what
we
were
getting
when
she
came.
E
I
was
so
worried,
I
thought
so
myself,
I
think
I've
done
a
pretty
good
job,
supporting
you
and
working
alongside
you
and
learning
from
you
and
being
able
to
spend
time
with
you,
both
at
this
council
chamber
in
the
in
East
Boston
in
particular.
That
I
know
you
love.
So
much
has
been
there's
been
a
wonderful
wonderful
experience
for
me
and
I
will
I
wanted
to
share
one
quick
story.
Cuz.
E
You
talked
about
your
staff
and
the
support
that
your
staff
has
given
you
over
these
years,
when
I
was
teaching
in
DC
I
had
a
student
that
was
looking
for
a
job
and
he
wanted
to
work
at
the
animal
control
office
from
eesti
all
the
way
up.
Roslindale
and
we
couldn't
get
him
in
like
we
just
they
wouldn't
talk
to
us.
They
just
cuz.
You
don't
recall,
sounds
the
city
councilors,
that
this
is
the
work
they're
supposed
to
be
doing
and
I
talked
to
Janet
in
your
office
and
it
wasn't.
E
It
wasn't
ours
that
we
didn't
have
him
at
Animal
Control.
We
had
him
in
a
job
at
a
the
new
dog
grooming
place
at
the
time
in
Mavericks,
Square
and,
like
you
got
it
done,
and
you
got
it
done,
I.
Think
of
my
students
as
my
kids,
but
you
got
it
done
for
our
kids,
you
got
it
done
that
eesti
kid
and
and
and
that
only
happened
through
your
office,
because
you
set
that
tempo
for
your
staff.
You
said
when
we
get
those
calls
we
have
to
make
this
work
happen.
So
it's
been.
E
It's
been
a
tremendous
joy
working
here
with
you
this
last
two
years.
The
two
of
you
and
I
do
so
look
forward
to
seeing
what's
next
and
what's
ahead
and
how
the
two
of
you
will
will
take
on
this
next
adventure
in
your
life.
So
thank
you
for
letting
me
be
a
part
of
it
for
this
short
period
of
time
and
I
look
forward
to
celebrating
what's
next,
thank
you.
M
You
thank
you,
madam
president.
I'll
start
with
Tito
Tito.
You
have
a
great
personal
story,
you're
an
inspiration
to
so
many
young
people
and
I
know
you'll
keep
that
focus,
because
you
have
a
lot
more
to
give.
You
know
we
always
knew
where
you
stood.
You
will
forceful.
You
push
me
on
a
lot
of
issues,
I
work
together
on
ways
and
means
and
education.
You
made
me
a
better
counselor.
M
M
M
They
met
Lisa
and
worked
with
lease
our
indirectly
through
the
Maverick
City
Roots
program,
and
one
of
the
benefits
of
getting
to
know,
Sal
and
being
a
brother
from
another
mother
is
getting
to
know
Lisa
and
Liana
that
the
jewel
of
his
life.
It's
great
that
you
guys
my
friends
now
I
really
appreciate
it.
I
want
to
thank
you
just
for
being
a
close
friend.
You
know
I'm
gonna
steal
when
I'll
give
all
game,
that's
gonna,
be
mine.
Now
I
I
also
want
to
recognize
that
you
know
your
words
of
wisdom.
M
M
One
thing
we
always
found
out
about
what
we
found
out
about
each
other
since
we've
been
working
together
is
we
do
have
such
a
similar
background
and
I
had
to
put
on
40
pounds
just
to
distinguish
me
from
you,
because
many
years
when
I
first
got
elected,
I
would
be
walking
in
downtown,
and
somebody
would
come
up
to
me.
As
you
know,
what
happens
to
all
of
us?
Hey
how
you
doing,
and
then
they
start
talking
to
you
about
an
issue
and
I'm.
Like
I.
Don't
know
this
person
I,
don't
know
what
they
talk
about.
M
M
All
the
great
work
of
Michelle
whoo-
you
won't
be
the
president,
but
I
have
a
feeling
that
we
may
be
calling
you
miss
mrs.
president,
madam
president,
and
sometime
in
the
future,
maybe
not
even
in
this
body.
I
want
to
appreciate
express
my
appreciation
for
your
work
with
the
small
businesses
with
the
CPA
in
in
your
support
of
me
in
this
last
election.
It
was
very,
very
appreciated
from
me
and
my
campaign,
so
thank
you
and
keep
up
the
great
work.
P
I'm
gonna
start
with
a
councillor
Jackson.
We
didn't
always
see
eye
to
eye
whether
me
as
a
candidate
or
starting
here.
Sometimes
it
was
some
hard
conversations,
but
every
time
I
spoke
with
you
every
time
I
engage
with
you,
I
see
you
as
a
member
of
my
family
I,
think
about
my
brothers
I.
Think
about
my
older
brother
in
particular.
Who
knows
me
very
well
and
I
think
about
the
issues
that
we
have
to
continue
to
talk
about
when
it
comes
to
men
in
the
city
of
Boston,
for
particularly
men
of
color
and
I.
P
Want
you
to
know
that
I
value,
your
passion,
your
passion
for
the
issues,
the
work
that
you
have
done
behind
the
scenes
and
on
the
ground,
particularly
for
men
of
color,
whether
it's
conversations
and
their
living
rooms
at
the
local
bar
or
restaurant,
to
uplift
them
to
make
them
feel
as
though
they
are
part
of
this
great
city
and,
frankly,
important
to
the
city.
I.
Want
you
to
know
that
you're
one
for
mayor
has
left
an
imprint
on
me
to
talk
about
the
issues
that
matter
and
frankly,
to
push
not
just
the
administration.
P
In
the
mayor
and
certain
departments,
but
this
body
to
talk
about
those
very
issues
that
not
only
matter
to
communities
of
color
district
for
district
7
or
frankly,
that
should
matter
to
the
entire
city
of
Boston
I,
look
forward
to
staying
in
contact,
not
just
on
the
issues
but,
frankly,
on
all
the
things
that
you
care
about.
I
know
that
you'll
do
great
things
in
the
future
and
if
I
can
be
supportive
in
any
way,
please
don't
hesitate
to
reach
out
and
thank
you
for
being
fearless.
P
P
Thank
you
for
all
that
you've
done
for
the
city,
not
just
as
a
public
servant,
but
even
before
you
were
a
public
servant
in
this
elected
capacity,
but
as
a
redshirt
for
the
work
you
did
with
the
state
with
Governor
Patrick
and
for
the
work
that
you
do
in
the
community.
Every
single
day
there
are
a
lot
of
stories
that
we
often
don't
hear
about
in
councilor
Pressley.
You
did
share
that
story
once
before.
I
mean
I.
P
Remember
you
talking
about
him
coming
to
see
your
mom,
but
there
are
more
stories
like
that
that
I've
heard,
even
as
a
candidate
talking
with
folks
in
your
district,
about
how
you
were
present,
whether
it's
in
orchard,
gardens
or
anywhere
else,
working
with
families
day
in
and
day
out,
during
their
most
difficult
times
and
truly
being
in
listening
year,
I
mean
sometimes
our
families
need
that
they
don't
necessarily
want
you
to
take
any
action.
They
just
simply
want
us
to
listen.
So
thank
you
for
being
a
great
listener.
P
P
Oh
God.
What
folks
don't
know
is
that
I
wouldn't
be
council
president,
if
it
weren't
for
salamati,
no
I
wouldn't
be
going
into
this
role.
If
it
weren't
for
him,
he
was
one
of
the
first
people
I
talked
to
when
I
was
thinking
about
running
and
putting
my
hat
in
the
race
in
a
simple
response.
What
I
said?
Do
you
think
I
should
do?
It
was
yes
in
all
caps,
you
have
always
continued
and
you
continue
to
see
things
in
me
that
I
may
not
see
in
myself
and
from
day
one.
P
You
have
been
a
mentor.
A
friend,
you've
come
into
my
office
and
simply
offered
to
be
helpful
as
a
new
counselor,
I
didn't
know,
much
of
anything
and
you've
made
sure
that
I
was
not
just
connected
to
people
in
the
building.
Who
could
get
things
done
around
constituent
services,
but
that
I
felt
welcomed
that
I
had
a
great
transition
and
that
I
felt
as
though
I
could
do
the
job
and
be
great
at
it.
P
P
Thank
you,
ladies
for
your
support,
you're
an
incredible
human
being,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
things,
and
this
is
true
for
every
councillor
and
everyone
who
works
in
the
city
of
Boston,
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
happen
behind
the
scenes
that
don't
get
any
attention
whatsoever
where
we
are
coming
to
one
another
talking
with
one
another,
one
another
engaging
on
the
issues
in
a
meaningful
way
and
growing
as
human
beings
as
a
result
of
those
conversations
and
those
interactions.
So
thank
you
for
believing
in
me.
Thank
you
for
being
supportive
and
encouraging.
P
Thank
you
to
your
team
as
well.
You
guys
sit
next
door
and
they
have
been
incredibly
helpful
to
my
staff
and
my
staff
can
go
to
them
anytime
and
ask
about
anything
and
feel
as
though,
frankly
they're
not
stupid
or
anything,
but
that
they
really
are
capable
and
can
do
this
work,
and
my
team
has
never
worked
in
government
before
so.
Your
team
has
been
incredible,
an
incredible
resource.
So
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
your
team
as
well.
P
J
P
K
Gentlemen,
it's
been
a
pleasure
serving
with
both
of
you.
I
lived,
my
life
by
the
golden
rule.
How
somebody
presents
themselves
to
me
is
how
I
present
to
them.
The
two
of
you
have
been
really
really
good
to
me,
learned
from
both
you
how
how
fortunate
we
all
to
have
each
other
to
be
able
to
be
in
the
positions
that
we're
in
you
know
when
I
first
got
elected,
I
was
on
the
other
side
of
the
administration.
People
always
say
have
fun
with
the
job.
The
job
wasn't
fun.
K
For
me,
it
wasn't
but
I
look
at
you.
Tito
you've
always
had
fun.
You
always
had
the
smile
on
your
face.
That's
something
that
I
would
strive
for
I'm,
starting
to
have
fun
now,
but
I
appreciate
I,
appreciate
your
your
passion
for
your
neighborhood,
it's
the
district
councils.
We
all
have
the
passion
for
the
neighborhood
and
the
two
of
you
talked
about.
Your
speeches
were
similar
in
the
fact
that
you
talked
about
your
mentors
mentors.
You
talked
about
your
family.
K
K
When
you're,
when
you're
campaigning
it's
so
hard-
and
you
guys
know
you
go
into
places
where
you
know
people
don't
like
you,
it's
almost
like
you're
walking
to
the
room
naked
or
something
you
guys.
You
guys
go
into
those
different
places.
I've
seen
you
I've
watched,
you
all
go
into
those
rooms
with.
You
might
not
have
all
supporters
but
you're
comfortable
in
the
rooms,
because
you're
comfortable
in
yourself
and
you're
comfortable
in
the
work
that
you
do
Tito.
K
You
know
that
the
people
that
say
that
this
is
a
a
week
party
or
whatever
your
people,
know
and
Sal.
Your
people
know
that
this
is
not
a
week
party,
the
jobs
that
we
do
we're
respected
and
we're
where
our
it's,
the
people
that
are
in
our
communities,
it
doesn't
matter
to
either
one
of
you
I
know
what
a
reporter
may
say,
or
what
somebody
on
social
media
might
say.
It's
that
older
woman,
that
you
helped
get
her
get
her
sidewalk,
shoveled
or
the
guy
that
you
helped
to
get
the
job.
K
K
You
know
it's
incumbent
on
us
to
make
sure
that
our
neighborhoods
get
better
and
when
they
get
better
when
they
maybe
look
better,
we
have
to
make
sure
that
the
people
that
are
within
our
neighborhoods-
and
you
do
this
all
the
time.
I
know
you
do
this
all
the
time
the
people
are
in
our
neighborhoods
that
they're
sharing
and
all
that
one
time
I
had
said
Sal
at
the
at
the
meeting
at
the
casino
meaning
I
said
when
I
grew
up,
I
want
to
be
Salma,
Tina
I
think
I
might
have
offended
you
I'm,
sorry.
K
If
I
did
but
I
meant
it.
I
meant
it
because
my
neighborhood
was
similarly
in
the
sense
where
we're
dying
for
the
development.
Looking
for
for
a
fresh
coat
of
paint
on
da
dabs
and
I
watched
you
in
the
way
you
were
able
to
leverage
your
relationships
with
the
administration,
its
libraries,
its
parks,
its
it's
all
those
things
that
are
amenities,
Anna
and
our
you
know.
K
Those
are
things
that
make
neighborhoods
good
and
you
did
all
those
stuffs
all
those
things
for
your
neighborhood
and
Tito
the
work
that
you
do
for
the
young
people
in
Boston
and
those
young
people.
Hopefully
we're
going
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
they
have
opportunities,
that
the
schools
get
better,
that
we
that
we
that
we
are
able
to
train
our
young
people
we're
getting
ready
to
go
into
a
whole
new
life.
We
don't
even
know
what
life
is
gonna
look
like
in
10
years.
K
K
You're
gonna
be
able
to
help
us
as
a
city
make
sure
that,
when
these
new
jobs
are
coming,
that
we're
able
to
provide
training
for
those
for
those
kids
for
those
young
young
men,
young
women,
even
older
men
and
older
women,
so
I
just
I
grew
up
in
a
family
of
love.
We
show
love,
I,
love,
you
guys,
you
guys
are
a
joy
to
work
with
and-and-and.
K
You
both
talked
about
how
fortunate
we
are
to
be
here
in
this
room
to
be
able
to
be
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
make
as
decision-makers
for
the
City
of
Boston
when
we're
going
into
a
time.
It's
a
scary
time,
it's
a
scary
time,
but
I
think
that
the
city
of
Boston,
regardless
of
what's
happening
all
around
the
country.
The
city
of
Boston,
is
a
much
better
place
because
of
leadership
like
you,
t-tube
Jackson,
and
you
Salim
and
Tina
I.
Consider
you
both
friends.
K
I'm
gonna
try
and
have
more
fun
in
the
job,
and
you
nothing
bothers
you.
How
does
that
happen?
That's
what
I
want
I
want
to
have
more
fun
like
Tito,
Jackson
and
I.
Don't
want
things
to
roll
off!
My
back
to
either
roll
off
your
back,
but
I
appreciate
you
both
and
I.
Consider
you
both
friends.
Thank
you.
G
Now,
but
had
the
pleasure
to
sit
next
to
Tito
and
obviously
enjoyed
my
time
sitting
same
also
being
in
the
soda
and
coffee
Club,
which
was
kind
of
slacked
off
the
last
few
weeks,
but
but
and
also
waiting,
you
know
often
times
would
be
sitting
here,
would
be
kibitz
and
about
the
rules,
and
you
know
as
I'm
a
stickler
for
the
rules.
If
he
asked
me
what
rule
can
you
do
this?
What
can
you
rule?
Do
that,
so
sorry
how
to
invoke
33
on
your
way
out
the
door?
G
My
apologies,
but
we
love
you
very
much,
not
personal,
but
want
to
talk
about
his
work.
It's
been
mentioned
here.
His
work
on
behalf
of
our
schools,
the
bps
they're,
a
better,
that's
where
a
better
school
district,
the
children
of
Boston
are
better
because
of
his
service.
His
work
around
my
brother's
keeper
I
had
a
front-row
seat
watching
him
with
that.
His
role
with
you
know,
sort
of
state
of
black
and
brown.
G
They
asked
about
Tito
the
most
my
element,
particularly
but
house,
Tito,
say
hello
to
Tito
for
me,
Stevo
doing
his
turkey
fries
Tito
doing
the
the
Thanksgiving
Day
constantly
we
sort
of
or
they'll
see
him
on
TV
and
the
last
question
is
I
just
saw
Tito
on
TV.
What's
he
doing
so?
His
sense
of
connection
with
the
youth
of
Boston
transcends
all
of
Boston's
neighborhoods,
and
so,
when
I
get
that
question
for
my
children
or
when
my
children
want
to
go
and
participate
in
his
events,
we
would
go.
G
We
would
go
as
a
family
to
support
him,
but
also
because
they
wanted
to
be
there
to
support
the
efforts
and
the
initiative
that
that
he
was
leading
so
I'm
gonna
miss
some
of
the
coffee
and
soda
conversations
that
we've
had
here.
He
knows
how
much
I
care
about
him
and
his
work.
He
also
knows
that
he
can
count
on
me
moving
forward
if
there's
anything
I
can
do
for
for
him
or
his
staff
and
family.
So
best
of
luck
with
all
future
endeavors
love
you
pal
Sal
before
I
forget.
G
My
aunt
Delia
is
a
huge
fan.
She
had
worked
with
you
for
many
years
and
always
thought
you
were
a
consummate
professional
and
a
perfect
gentleman
and
so
from
her.
She
wishes
that
she
could
be
here,
but,
unfortunately,
she's
not
able
to
to
attend
today
so
best
wishes
on
behalf
of
my
aunt
Ellie,
your
institutional
knowledge
of
where
the
city
has
been
and
where
we're
going
is
invaluable.
It's
been
tremendous
for
this
body,
but
just
in
general,
having
a
conversation
with
you
about
things
that
had
happened
in
the
past,
he's
actually
older
than
he
looks.
G
I,
don't
want
to
sort
of
out
his
age,
but
he
has
had
experiences
and
he
has
lived
through
the
ups
and
downs,
the
the
brights
and
the
docks
of
Boston.
That,
if
folks
don't
know,
should
take
the
opportunity
to
kind
of
pick
his
brain,
because
he
was
sort
of
part
and
parcel
working
as
a
fabric
of
the
city
in
the
neighborhoods.
G
During
those
times
mentioned
by
Frankie
stickler
to
detail
on
our
small
businesses
on
our
community
health
centers
on
our
community
centers
on
our
local
police
and
our
local
fire
stations
and
what
they
mean
to
our
neighborhoods
and
he's
a
guy
that
kind
of
kept
it
simple.
I
met
him
before
coming
to
the
Boston
City
Council
I
met
him
at
a
gym.
G
He
worked
I
think
at
the
time
was
maybe
the
transportation
department
and
I
believe
it
or
not.
Just
in
my
work,
doing
sort
of
community
and
civic
stuff
I
had
some
transportation
related
issues
and
he
couldn't
wait
to
help
and
Sal's
a
guy
that
just
wants
to
help.
People
doesn't
look
for.
The
credit
doesn't
want
to
see
his
name
up
on
a
banner
or
a
sign,
just
kind
of
goes
about
kind
of,
like
I,
guess,
simon
of
cyrene,
sort
of
service
and
silence.
G
G
Actually,
believing
on
in
his
district
I,
have
a
burger
I,
have
a
sandwich
and
I
have
a
plate
actually
named
after
me,
and
to
this
day
it
kind
of
still
works
from
the
fact
that
in
his
district,
how
does
that
happen
in
his
district
and
I?
Have
some
of
my
biggest
and
best
supporters
who
all
love
Sal
and
you
think
about
the
people
in
his
district
and
how
Fon
they
are
of
him?
G
It's
because
who
he
is
in
how
not
just
in
East
Boston,
but
in
his
district,
how
the
people
of
Charlestown
have
come
to
to
really
love
Sal,
and
it
was
mentioned
early,
he's
sort
of
on
this
free
time
and
tour.
If
you
will
every
each
and
every
one
of
those
neighborhoods
are
stepping
up
and
hosting
events.
The
North
End
is
another
one,
and
even
some
of
the
downtown
waterfront
area.
It's
it's
the
impact
that
you've
had
because
you
run
out
the
ground
ball.
You
pay
attention
to
detail.
G
G
So
anything
I
can
do
to
be
helpful
to
you,
your
family
constituents,
because
these,
if
it
happened
to
me,
I've,
been
in
this
situation,
you
can
always
run
again
by
the
way
you
can
always
come
back
alright,
so
so
for
those
that
think
that
this
kindly
over,
you
can
actually
decide
to
run
again
so
true
story.
So
I'm
not
sure
your
family
may
want
to
hear
that
mine
didn't
either,
but
so
you
can
always
go
back,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
like
when
your
City
Council,
like
the
job,
doesn't
like.
G
Your
phone
still
gonna
ring
your
phone
is
still
gonna
ring.
You're
gonna
be
sort
of
that
counsel
of
record,
because
you've
established
a
relationship
in
your
community
with
your
family,
with
your
friends
with
your
neighbors
they're
gonna,
stop
you
on
the
street
and
you're,
not
gonna,
be
able
to
say
I'm,
not
a
city.
Councillor
anymore,
you
know,
call
my
success.
It's
just
not
in
your
nature.
It's
not
in
your
nature
either.
G
Both
of
you
are
gonna
turn
around
and
you're
gonna
do
what
I
do
you're
gonna
grab
the
pad
of
paper
and
gonna,
take
them
name
in
them
down
and
you're
gonna
call
one
of
us.
You're
gonna
call
your
colleagues,
and
so
we
want
to
continue
to
be
here,
for
you
so
make
sure
that
you
take
the
name
and
number
spell
it
right
and
get
the
address
get
the
nature
of
the
problem.
As
your
citywide
City
Council.
G
You
know
to
pick
up
that
slack
and
run
with
the
ground
ball,
but
you
have
you
have
all
of
your
colleagues
here
that
will
be
willing
to
do
that
for
you,
so
you
can
kind
of
still
stay
engaged.
You
can
still
stay
out
there.
You
can
still
be
problem,
solvers
and
and
and
still
be
people
that
generally
have
the
ability
to
help
people.
You
both
have
the
ability
to
help
people
so
take
advantage
of
it,
and
it
doesn't
end
when
you
walk
out
the
door
here
on
on
December
31st.
G
It's
gonna
continue
to
stay
with
you,
you're
not
gonna,
have
the
ability
to
say
that.
Oh
you
can't
do
that
anymore.
Oh
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
there
anymore,
you
have
all
the
equalities
to
lean
on
to
to
be
able
to
do
it
for
you.
So
with
that
I
want
to
wish
you
the
very
Merry
Christmas,
happy,
Kwanzaa,
happy
holidays,
happy,
New,
Year
to
you
and
the
families
best
of
luck
in
your
future
endeavors.
C
So
I
get
to
add
my
two
cents
before
inviting
you
both
up
to
receive
a
little
something
from
all
of
us.
I'll
start
with
Tito,
because
we
go
way
back
and
I,
don't
even
know
if
you
may
not
even
remember
this
Tito,
but
the
first
time
that
I
really
saw
you
in
action
was
years
and
years
ago,
I
had
just
started
to
get
active
with
the
local
ward
committee,
and
so
was
found
myself
at
one
of
governor
Patrick's
events
at
merengue,
and
you
were
there.
C
I
had
brought
along
my
sister
Tori,
because
I
was
raising
her
etcetera.
She
was,
she
was
a
teenager,
I
think
she
was
a
middle
school
then,
and
the
room
was
packed
and
governor
Governor
Patrick
was
late.
Later
later
later,
people
started
to
trickle
out
and
Tory's.
Looking
at
me
like,
why
am
I
here
in
the
first
place,
I
was
like
okay,
we're
gonna
go
so
we're
almost
like
I
can
see
the
door.
We're
almost
every
go,
Tito
comes
up
to
us
and
said:
hey:
can
you
just
stay?
C
C
He
went
right
to
the
back,
came
right
back
out
with
a
mango
smoothie
Tori
was
so
thrilled
that
she
won
that
you
know
the
important
person
in
the
room
came
up
to
her
talked
to
her
took
care
of
her
I
think
that
interaction
has
been
characteristic
of.
You
won,
think
about
young
people
as
truly
having
value
and
a
stake
and
needing
to
be
there
in
those
rooms
that
matter
and
also
figuring
out
what
it
takes
to
make.
C
Someone
feel
like
they're
part
of
an
event,
a
community,
a
situation
so
I
always
kind
of
had
that
in
the
back
of
my
head-
and
it's
been
true
of
you
know,
everybody
said
it
already:
you're
the
moral
compass
of
the
council.
The
time
when
you
get
up
and
speak
on
issues,
we
all
take
a
deep
breath,
because
what
you're
saying
is
real
and
it
is
reflecting
the
voices
of
people
who
will
never
get
a
chance
to
be
here
and
speak
for
themselves
in
front
of
us,
so
I'm
gonna.
C
Thank
you
for
always
always
remembering
people
who
may
not
have
a
voice
may
not
know
that
these
conversations
are
occurring
about
things
that
will
impact
them
directly.
You
have
kept
residents
in
Boston
and
beyond
right
at
the
forefront
of
what
we
talk
about
in
these
rooms
and,
and
you
always
make
sure
that
the
vulnerable
among
us,
the
those
with
potential
to
be
more
than
than
our
institutional
barriers.
Let
them
right
now
see
that
potential
for
themselves
and
and
are
put
on
a
path
towards
that.
C
So
since
I
started
on
the
council,
I
have
understood
exactly
why
your
beloved
across
your
entire
district
and
the
city
I
felt,
like
you,
adopted
me
as
a
little
sister
from
day.
One
you've
been
there
for
on
any
personal
or
professional
issue,
and
that
fierce
love
that
you
have
for
your
district
and
your
job.
You
apply
to
Erie
relationships
with
every
person,
no
matter
what
walk
of
life
they
come
from
and
it
reflects
the
love
that
recently
on
I
have
for
you
and
that
you
have
for
them,
and
it's
it's
I
have
loved
hearing.
C
C
You've
always
been
there
for
us
as
well
I
loved
getting
to
travel
with
you
a
little
bit
and
as
we
were
looking
about
all
these
climate
change
and
adaptation
and
resiliency
initiatives
in
Europe
Sal
was
busy
saying
you
know
we
would
talk
about
district
energy
or
these
big
things.
That
would
cost
a
lot
of
money.
You
know
Sal
got
it,
but
then
he
would
look
where
the
tour
guides
were
not
pointing.
He
would
look
at
that
little
patch
in
the
ground.
C
C
Kind
of
taking
notes
is
of
how
you
are
seeing
things
and
what
what
you
were
gonna
bring
back
and
get
done
right
away
and
I
will
never
forget
getting
to
March
next
to
you
in
the
this
latest
Columbus
Day
Parade,
as
you
got
to
remember
all
of
the
ways
that
the
city
has
changed.
How
proud
you
are
of
those
changes
and
how
proud
you've
been
to
be
part
of
them.
B
And
while
everyone's
coming
up,
I
actually
didn't
make
a
statement
about
Michelle
and
I
want
to
thank
Michelle
for
being
an
amazing
leader
and
bringing
us
together
and
using
innovation,
because
we're
not
all
allowed
to
speak
to
each
other
at
one
time
because
of
our
friends
at
the
state
and
the
lunches
made
a
difference,
it
really
brought
people
together.
You
provided
access
for
people
physically
here,
but
you've
provided
figurative
access,
and
you
took
on
issues
that
matter
and
I
also
want
to
challenge
my
brothers
on
the
council.
B
B
We
as
men
have
to
step
up
and
challenge
each
other
challenge
systems
that
have
left
people
out
and
make
sure
that
we
walk
side-by-side
with
women
in
these
roles
and
it
feels
damn
good
a
person
in
front
of
you,
but
that
where
I
think
this
is
the
first
time
we're
gonna
have
back-to-back
presidents,
who
are
women
on
this
council
and
that's
a
wonderful
thing.
It's
a
great
day
in
the
city
of
Boston.
J
C
And
just
as
we
wrap
up
I
just
want
to
take
a
few
more
minutes
to
say.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
first
to
all
the
counselors
for
letting
me
serve
in
this
way
and
and
helping
to
manage
the
procedures
of
our
meetings
and
troubleshoot,
and
all
that
it's
truly
been
an
honor.
Thank
you
so,
much
to
my
own
staff,
they
have
taken
on
so
much
Dave,
Sophia,
Andrea,
Ronnie,
I,.
C
I,
truly
its
I've
gotten
to
get
a
little
extra
glimpse
into
every
one
of
you
and
how
you
work.
How
much
you
care
for
the
job
I
feel
so
so
so
lucky
to
been
able
to
do
this.
We
have
passed
ordinances
that
have
truly
made
a
difference
on
income
inequality,
climate
change,
racial
equity,
all
of
the
issues
that
we
care
about,
and
we've
also
used
this
chamber
as
a
platform
for
residents
I.
Think
more
than
ever.
C
People
across
the
city
feel
like
this
is
their
council
feel
like
this
is
somewhere
they
can
come
and
be
heard.
We
have
literally
reshaped
this
space
together
to
be
open
for
everyone,
so
thank
you
and
to
counselor
Campbell
I'm,
so
so
excited
we'll
be
up
here
very
shortly.
You're
gonna
do
an
amazing
job.
You
have
the
heart
for
it.
You
have
the
brains
for
at
you
and
you
have
all
of
our
support
in
doing
that.
So
we're
lucky
to
have
you
step
up
and
serve
and
looking
forward
to
being
there
every
step
along
the
way.
C
P
Floor,
I,
don't
know
about
others,
but
I
want
to
say
a
few
words
about
you.
Madam
President
and
I'll
be
brief,
but
you're,
an
incredible
human
being
I.
Think
Sal,
but
I
also
have
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
for
also
encouraging
me
to
jump
into
the
race
and
to
have
conversations
with
each
of
my
colleagues
and
to
put
forth
ideas
about
what
I
wanted
to
bring
to
the
presidency.
But
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
Thank
you
for
your
passion.
P
Sometimes
you
know
it's
difficult
to
navigate
the
challenges
between
certain
offices
or
committees,
and
you
did
it
with
such
grace.
We
are
blessed
as
a
city
to
have
you
as
a
public
servant.
You
could
be
doing
other
things,
but
you
have
chosen
to
serve
your
community
and
you've
done
such
a
fantastic
job,
I'm,
navigating
so
many
different
things,
and
once
again
things
that
we
often
don't
see
and
that
are
often
sometimes
could
be
ugly
you've
stood
up
on
issues
and
challenged
us
to
be
better
counselors,
the
administration
to
do
better
the
departments
to
serve
better.
P
P
I
look
forward
to
continued
partnership
and
also
continuing
to
do
the
work
through
some
of
the
your
core
values
around
accessibility
and
transparency,
and
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
having
the
confidence
in
me
to
serve
in
this
new
role
and
thank
you
to
all
of
your
staff
members
as
well.
This
will
be
a
joint
effort.
P
This
will
be
I,
think
just
an
amazing
opportunity
for
all
of
us
to
really
be
able
to
highlight
the
important
work
that
we
do
every
single
day
for
the
residents
in
the
city
of
Boston
I,
look
forward
to
working
with
my
colleagues
to
partner
with
you
in
the
work
I
look
forward
to
working
with
the
clerk
in
the
clerk's
office
as
well
as
central
staff.
So
thank
you
and
thank
you
again,
madam
president.
I'm
for
your
leadership.
Thank
you.
Thank.
