and
bring
some
words
of
wisdom.
So
with
that
father
nolan,
you
have
the
floor.
Welcome
to
the
boston
city
council,
I
have
to
let
my
colleagues
know
in
advance,
given
your
sports
background
that
he
is
a
yankees
fan,
he
is
a
knicks
fan.
D
Thank
you,
councilman
flaherty,
it's
an
honor
to
receive
such
a
warm
welcome
at
a
city
council
meeting
in
my
adopted
city
here
in
boston.
Five
years
ago
I
arrived
here
to
complete
my
last
stage
of
jesuit
formation
at
bc
before
ordination
and
as
you
mentioned,
I've
now
been
missioned
to
serve
here
at
bc.
D
Bc
high,
your
alma
mater,
and
I
love
being
a
priest-
and
I
love
being
a
jesuit
here
in
boston
during
the
holy
season
of
advent,
I'd
like
to
prepare
for
christmas
each
year
by
going
to
the
sacramento
reconciliation
in
my
first
year
in
boston.
Around
this
time
of
year,
I
went
to
arch
street
for
confession.
D
D
Let
us
pray
eternal
god
during
this
holy
season
of
expectation
and
preparation,
help
us
to
prepare
our
hearts
this
coming
sunday,
the
second
in
advent.
We
read
a
quote
from
the
prophet
isaiah
in
mark's
gospel
behold.
I
am
sending
my
messenger
ahead
of
you.
He
will
prepare
your
way
a
voice
of
one
crying
out
in
the
desert.
D
Prepare
the
way
of
the
lord
make
straight.
His
paths
prepare
the
hearts
of
our
city
councillors
and
all
who
serve
this
great
city,
help
them
to
see
your
presence
in
each
other
and
in
their
constituents,
inspire
them
to
be
voices
for
the
voiceless
may,
the
spirit
of
the
lord
rest,
upon
them
a
spirit
of
wisdom
and
of
understanding,
a
spirit
of
counsel
and
of
strength,
a
spirit
of
knowledge
and
of
wonder
and
awe
of
the
lord.
D
A
Thank
you
again,
father
nolan,
for
that
inspiring
message.
You
are
certainly
welcome
to
continue
to
hang
out
with
us
if
you'd
like,
but
I
know
how
busy
you
are
so
feel
free
to
exit
the
zoom
at
your
leisure,
we're
going
to
move
on
with
our
agenda
and
the
first
order
is
the
approval
of
the
minutes.
Seeing
and
hearing
no
objections
or
discussion
about
the

I'm

A
G
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank
you,
madam
clerk,
for
going
through
all
that,
as
you
can
tell,
we
had
a
very
full
hearing,
and
I
want
to
thank
all
of
our
colleagues
who
joined
us,
many
of
whom
were
represent
district
councillors
of
various
pieces
of
of
these
projects,
councilor
bach
councillor,
braden,
councillor,
sabi,
george
councillor,
mejia,
councilor,
edwards
and
councillor
flynn,
who
all
asked
very
insightful
questions
that
were
important
to
get
on
the
record
as
well.
So
these
projects
are
all
moving
forward
and
we
got
some
details
around
the
funding
mechanisms.
G
The
percent
completion,
the
ways
that
this
interacts
with
other
planning
studies
in
various
neighborhoods.
I
believe
council
braden,
even
got
some
extra
questions
about
other
stuff
happening
in
her
district
as
well.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
administration
officials
for
for
the
time,
as
was
noted
at
the
hearing,
I
think
by
councillor
mejia.
We
are
really
getting
to
know
chief
oz
good
well
with
a
series
of
zoom
hearings.
I
want
to
thank
him
and
his
team
for
all
the
time
and
all
of
the
work
happening
on
the
transportation
side.

B

A
A
K
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
to
all
my
colleagues
who
joined
for
this
working
session.
As
folks
know,
we've
had
a
series
of
hearings
both
a
couple
of
hearings
about
overtime
and
which
we're
going
to
continue
all
year
and
then
a
prior
hearing
in
september
on
this
docket
about
police
contracts
as
policy
documents,
which
was
which
is
co-sponsored
by
myself,
councillor
campbell
and
councillor
edwards.
K
Looking
for
from
the
perspective
of
fiscal
responsibility
for
the
city,
parity
for
our
civilian
workforces,
you
know
accountability,
transparency,
the
opportunity
to
think
about
where
are
there
places
to
have
civilians,
be
doing
more
civilian
work,
and
how
do
we
support
our
officers?
And
you
know
better
health
and
safety
in
their
work,
so
it
was
a
productive
discussion.
I
would
just
flag
for
everybody
that
I
did
send
out
a
memo
on
behalf
of
the
chair
and
it's
we're
sort
of
in
a
period
of.
I
would
really
happily
take
folks's
comments.
K
There's
a
contract
related
hook
on
almost
all
of
them
and-
and
I
think
our
public
policy
scrutiny
on
behalf
of
the
public
interest
is
compatible
with
you
know,
with
negotiations
that
are
happening
with
a
strong
labor
union
in
a
strong
labor
city
and
and
we
really
want
to
recognize
that
the
role
that
we
play
on
behalf
of
the
public
on
that
front.
So
it
was
a
productive
working
session.

Thank
you,

Floor.
Thank
you
very
much.
Madam
president,
we
recently
yesterday,
I
think,
had
a
wonderful
hearing
about
or
excuse
me
a
working
session
specifically
on
these
two
dockets,
the
original
the
original
file.
Docket.
Excuse
me:
zero.
Eight,
eight
five
civilian
review
board
filed
by
councillors,
mejia
campbell
and
arroyo,
created
a
civilian
reward
with
subpoena
powers,
and
we
had
a
hearing
on
that.
E
But
I
want
to
talk
to
the
politics
of
the
moment.
First,
the
very
real
fact
that
we
have
a
calendar
year,
ending
we,
and
so.
That
is
why,
instead
of
having
a
separate
hearing
on
the
opat
ordinance,
I
decided
it
made
more
than
to
combine
the
two
in
a
working
session
to
see
where
we
what
we
could
get
done
this
year.
It's
important
that
we,
as
a
city
council,
meet
this
moment,
hear
the
urgency
within
our
constituents.
E
We
have
been
through
a
budget
discussion.
We
have
discussed
defunding
the
police,
we've
discussed
all
sorts
of
things
this
year
and
the
mayor
has
heard
we
have
heard
that
something
needs
to
happen
this
year,
and
so
it
is
with
that
vein
of
answering
the
moment
and
meeting
the
urgency
that
I
believe
that
we
come
in
good
faith
to
get
this
done
this
year.
There's
also
the
very
real
political
fact
that
the
mayor's
filed
ordinance,
if
we
take
no
action
on
it
at
all,
will
automatically
be
path,
and
I
think
in
january.
E
E
I
don't
think
the
mayor
wants
that
to
happen
either
the
only
option
if
we
don't
get
anything
done,
is
to
ask
this
body
to
reject
without
prejudice
which
I
think
we're
above
that
and
can
do
more
than
that.
So
here
we
are
these
major
dockets
and
massive
reform
history
before
us.
I
want
to
thank
the
task
force
members
who
came
and
testified
jamal
crawford,
tanisha
sullivan
and
I
believe
allison
cartwright,
as
well
as
jerome
smith,
who's,
the
chief
of
who's
chief
of
office
of
neighborhood
services.
E
E
I
want
to
note
that
there
are
several
things
that
are
outstanding,
several
questions
that
we
had
and
I
wanted
the
administration's
willing
to
look
at
two-thirds
being
required
of
the
for
subpoena
power,
two-thirds
of
the
opat
versus
a
unanimous
requirement
in
order
to
have
a
subpoena
guarantees
what
guarantees
of
communication
between
the
two
separate
boards.
If
two
separate
boards
are
to
be
set
up
under
the
opac,
how
do
we
get
the
regulations
done
in
what
time
frame
are
we
supposed
to
get
these
regulations
done?
E
What
happens
when
there's
two
investigations
of
the
same
time
of
the
same
police
officer,
one?
The
iop
is
strictly
about
how
we
investigate
officers.
The
other
one
is
about
the
civilian
review
board.
We
also
wanted
guarantees
that
we
would
be
part
of
this
process.
As
a
city
council,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we'd
be
part
of
nominating
every
single
one
of
the
board
members.
That
is
the
commissioners,
the
three
that
are
proposed,
as
well
as
the
board
members
of
the
civilian
review
board
and
the
iop
currently
is
proposed.
E
E
We
wanted
also
to
make
sure
that
there
was
no
conflict
in
language
specifically
where
the
investigatory
powers
are
to
take
a
back
seat
when
there's
an
out
or
ongoing
criminal
investigation,
but
it
also
says
civil
investigations
as
well.
We
did
not
want
to
limit
the
investigatory
powers
of
the
opat
and
make
them
wait
even
for
civil,
any
civil
lawsuit
that
could
be
filed,
and
it's
pretty
common
that
you
can
have
concurrent
civil
investigations
going
on
now.
So
we
wanted
to
have
that
power.
E
We
also
thought
it
would
make
sense
that
we
looked
at
the
the
formal
reporting
to
the
council
looking
at
the
boston,
jobs
and
policy,
boston
residents,
job
policy
biannual
meeting
and
coming
to
the
council
to
explain
what
is
going,
what
is
not
going
well
and
what
funds
they
need,
how
they
need
to
approach
this.
We
think
that
this
also
the
opac
should
come
before
the
board
before
the
city
council
to
explain
what
is
going
on
and
what
they
need.
E
We,
we
asked
about
the
budget
that
is
going
to
be
necessary,
where
what
what
are
we
doing?
Are
we
putting
our
money
where
our
mouth
is?
This
is
true
reform,
or
is
this
on
paper?
Only
the
other
part
is:
how
does
this
new
process
marry
with
what
just
got
passed,
also
on
the
same
day
as
our
working
session,
which
is
the
statewide
police
reform
bill
to
be
passed?
Excuse
me,
sorry,
hopefully
passes
at
the
state
level,
where
there's
a
decertification
process
now
happening
at
the
state,
and
how
does
this
process?
E
How
will
this
agency
commission
communicate
to
the
state?
We
think
that
there
should
be
a
back
and
forth
and
a
really
adoption
of
some
of
those
processes
and
deadlines,
and
also
standards
in
the
city
ordinance
so
that
we're
not
in
conflict
or
we
don't
have
to
come
back
and
rewrite
this
again
for
the
new
state,
ordinance
or
police
reform,
and
so
with
all
of
that
before
us.
I
want
to
congratulate
and
thank
my
colleagues
because
we
came
in
with
that.
E
I
think
some
sort
of
preparation,
trepidation
or
concern
about
politics
getting
the
way
of
progress
and
we
left
with.
We
are
going
to
get
this
done.
So
I'm
asking
my
colleagues
and
of
course,
madam
president,
to
keep
this
in
my
committee.
I've
committed
to
eight
o'clock
am
working
sessions
on
friday,
saturday
or
sunday
to
get
this
done
because
I
believe
so
much
in
it.
E
I
want
to
thank
the
original
again,
the
regional
co-sponsors,
councillor
campbell,
counselor
arroyo
and
counselor
mejia
for
your
leadership
and
and
coming,
I
believe,
with
pure
hearts,
open
hearts
and
ready
to
get
together
the
moment
that
working
session
started.
So
again
I
asked
you
to
stay
in
committee
and
I
made
a
commitment
before
to
this
body
and
a
tight
turnaround
when
it
came
to
the
housing
notification
act,
I'm
making
that
same
commitment
to
this
body
again,
I
believe
I
can
get
it
done
and
I'm
asking
for
that
opportunity.
Thank
you.
A
A
K
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
president,
thank
you
to
my
colleagues,
counselors
flynn,
brayden,
mejia
and
arroyo
who
joined
yesterday
for
our
hearing
on
this
matter.
Docket1102
was
introduced
by
myself
at
our
prior
meeting
and
it's
about
adopting
the
tax
classification
and
the
residential
exemption
for
the
city
for
property
taxes
for
this
year.
K
So,
as
we
heard
from
commissioner
aranella
who
joined
us
along
with
pam
coker
from
the
boston
municipal
research
bureau,
as
the
commissioner
shared
with
us,
classification
is
really
it's
a
mechanism
in
the
city
by
which
we
we
shift
more
of
our
property
tax
burden
onto
our
commercial
real
estate
and
therefore
bring
some
tax
relief
to
our
residents
in
the
city.
It's
it's
something.
K
The
the
property
tax,
valuations
city-wide,
it's
66
is
residential
property
in
terms
of
the
value,
but
then
because
we
make
this
classification
shift,
the
property,
the
residential
property
owners,
pay
40
of
the
total
property
taxes
in
the
city
and
then
commercial
has
that
other
third
of
our
property
value,
but
ends
up
paying
at
more
than
half
of
the
levy.
So
basically,
folks
is
if
we
were
not
to
adopt
classification,
which
is
what
this
order
is
proposing.
K
Many
of
our
and
basically
all
of
our
residential
property
owners
would
see
an
increase
in
their
tax
bill.
It
varies
a
little
bit
with
the
math,
but
it's
something
like
a
50
increase.
So
it's
a
it's
an
enormous
shift
and
then
separately
the
residential
exemption,
which
is
another
provision
that
the
citizens
of
boston
fought
for
and
won
at
the
state
house.
It
exempts
the
an
initial
like
portion
of
the
value
of
your
property,
and
so
that's
actually
saving
every
bostonian
who
owns
a
home,
that's
valued
at
300,
000
or
more.
K
It's
saving
them
almost
3
000
a
year
in
property
tax,
and
I
think
it's
worth
noting
that
it's
actually
a
progressive
component
of
our
property
tax
regime.
So
when
we
have
the
residential
exemption,
the
the
percent
impact
is
the
greatest
for
our
property
owners
with
with
lower
valued
properties.
Although
everybody
has
everybody
who's,
an
owner,
occupant
has
access
to
that
exemption.
So
just
so
folks
understand
from
a
timeline
perspective.
K
We,
the
city
council,
need
to
make
a
recommendation
on
this
front
in
order
for
the
assessor
to
communicate,
to
dor,
to
the
department
of
revenue
at
the
state
level
that
we
would
like
to
take
up
both
classification
and
the
exemption
for
the
year
and
that's
required
as
a
step
in
order
for
them
to
issue
the
next
round
of
third
quarter
tax
letters.
So
there's
a
there's
a
sort
of
time
crunch
and
just
the
way
that
this
process
all
comes
together.
K
There's
a
pretty
tight
timeline
that
the
state
sets
for
our
valuations
to
come
in
and
then
for
us
to
make
that
determination-
and
I
think,
there's
no
question
in
my
mind
that
in
a
year
where
everybody
is
is
just
suffering
a
lot
of
burdens
and
we've
got
a
lot
of
you
know.
Residential
homeowners
who
are
dealing
with
a
year
like
they've,
never
seen
that
the
last
thing
we
would
want
to
do
is
deprive
them
of
this
significant
tax
relief
that
the
city
council
has
supported
in
every
prior
year
since
it's
been
enabled.

Thank
you,
madam

I
know
all
of
these
little
speeches
always
come
with
a
thousand
thank
yous
at
the
top,
but
I
would
seriously
like
to
just
thank
the
folks
who
have
been
on
the
ground
in
the
mass
and
cass
area
and
the
advocates
and
the
administration
and
all
of
those
who
continue
to
work
in
the
collaborative
spirit,
to
figure
out
the
how
to
address
a
lot
of
these
issues,
and
I
also
want
to
give
a
special
shout
out
to
the
south
and
roxbury
partnership
for
all
of
their
hard
work.
H
They
have
been
out
here
on
these
streets
almost
every
day,
picking
up
needles,
holding
elected
officials
accountable
and
making
it
clear
what
we
all
need
to
do
to
make
our
city
safer
and
better
for
a
better
place
for
all
people.
The
need
for
this
17
f
request
came
from
multiple
resources
sources.
Excuse
me.
H
First,
when
I
attended
the
south
and
roxbury
community
partnership,
we
learned
that
there
was
a
series
of
need
for
transparency
and
accountability
to
the
community
living
in
and
around
mass
and
cast,
and
then
in
the
follow-up
hearings
about
mass
and
cass.
I
ask
questions
about.
Who
is
spending
what
money
and
where
I
got
answers
that
only
made
me
want
to
ask
more
questions
so
we're
hoping
that
this
17
f
request
will
give
us
the
answers
we're
looking
for.
H
H
Congresswoman
presley
always
says
that
the
people
closest
to
the
pain
should
be
closest
to
the
power
and
by
stepping
back
and
letting
the
community
define
for
themselves.
What
questions
they
wanted
answered.
We
hope
to
get
to
the
bottom
of
what's
working
and
what
isn't?
Thank
you
again
to
the
community
activists
who
put
their
time

effort
into

made
a

to
looking
into
overtime
in
ways
in
which
we
can
effectively
manage
and
look
at
how
it
is
being
spent,
but
also
we've
had
several
overtime
hearings
now
and
in
both
of
those
hearings,
we've
had
conversations
about
not
just
what.
How
are
you
planning
your
hours
or
scheduling,
hours
and
manpower,
but
also
questions
about?
How
are

scheduling

and
how

Madam
president,
target
number
1124
has
received
a
unanimous
vote.
Excellent.
I
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
recognize
that
considering
that
it's
december,
it's
late
for
a
hearing,
and
so
I
do
recognize
that.
But
the
reason
that
I
sought
one
for
this
specifically
we're
in
the
middle
of
the
second
wave
of
culvert
19
and
we've
had
several
sort
of
what
I
would
call
recent
they're,
not
new
issues
but
recently
have
been
risen
to
the
top
of
the
list
again
in
terms
of
19
responses.
I
What
plans
do
we
have
in
place
as
we
head
into
the
winter?
The
boston
public
health
commission
has
recently
changed
how
they
are
tracking
cobin
metrics
on
their
dashboard,
and
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
have
a
hearing
about
why
and
how
that's
changed,
why
those
changes
are
considered
for
the
better
and
and
how
we
can
make
that
more
transparent
for
our
communities,
and
so
I'm
seeking
hearing
on
this
issue.
I
F
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
president,
rice
to
commend
the
maker.
Ask
that
my
name
be
added.
This
is
something
that
we've
obviously
been
talking
about.
The
testing
aspect
is
absolutely
crucial
to
getting
these
numbers
under
control,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
two
weeks
ago
I
went
to
three
of
one
of
the
city's
pop-ups
and
then
two
of
the
other
neighborhood
health
centers
in
the
wait
time
was
two
hours
add
one.
What
one
of
the
sites
was
actually
canceled
last
minute,
there's
a
lot
of
people
queued
up.
F
That's
not
to
disparage
the
incredible
yeoman's
work
being
done
by
these
community
health
centers.
Just
simply,
the
snapping
isn't
there
to
meet
the
command.
So
I
think
that
this
is
not
only
a
timely
hearing
but
important
one,
and
I
would
just
end
by
saying
I
think
it's
a
real
opportunity
for
us
to
work
with
some
of
our
colleges
and
universities.
Media
reports
have
really
talked
about
how
some
colleges
have
really
stepped
up.
I
was
speaking
with
my
predecessor,
john
tobin.
F
F
I
quarantined
was
able
to
do
so,
but
some
people
aren't
so
sometimes
when
the
weight
line
is
the
way
time
is
that
lagging
it
can
really
render
the
testing
material.
So
it's
a
great
issue
happy
to
partner
with
it's
the
only
way
we
can
help
and
again,
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
tap
some
other
stakeholders
to
make
sure
that
we
can
offer
as
robust
testing
infrastructure
in
the
city
as
humanly
possible.
Thank
you.
M
On
the
floor,
thank
you,
madam
president.
I
will
be
brief.
I
just
want
to
thank
the
maker,
for
you
know
lifting
up
these
issues
again.
They
are
timely
and,
of
course,
we're
continuing
to
get
calls
and
emails
with
respect
to
the
weight
and,
as
more
folks
are
looking
to
return
to
employment,
there
are
opportunities
out
there.
Testing,
of
course,
is
so
essential
to
these
workers.
So
thank
you,
council
arroyo
for
your
leadership
here
and
continued
leadership
and
please,
madam
president,
add
my
name
thank.

seeing

You
very
much,
madam
president,
after
a
long-standing
partnership
in
many
conversations
with
the
boston
student
advisory
council,
the
time
has
come
to
formally
begin
the
process
to
consider
enfranchising
the
student
member
of
the
boston
school
committee.
Currently,
the
school
committee
structure
allows
for
seven
full
voting
voting
members
and
one
student
member.
This
student
member
attends
every
school
committee
meeting,
participates
in
committed
policy
deliberations
and
is
a
public
voice
representing
our
actual
boston,
public
school
students.
The
student
member
is
elected
by
the
bps
student
population
through
the
boston
student
advisory
council.
J
In
many
ways
the
student
member
contributes
enormously
to
the
discussion
at
the
school
committee
and
does
the
same
level
of
work
to
prepare
for
these
meetings
as
a
full
voting
member.
The
main
difference
between
them
is
just
that
the
student
member
currently
does
not
have
the
right
to
vote
on
the
committee.
J
This
home
rule
petition
is
the
beginning
of
what
will
undoubtedly
be
a
complex
and
long
conversation
regarding
the
structure
of
the
school
committee.
There
are
many
reasonable
arguments
as
to
why
the
student
member
should
be
an
e
voting
member.
Currently
the
massachusetts
board
of
elementary
and
secondary
education.
The
mass
board
includes
one
student
member
who
is
a
full
voting
member,
like
the
other
adult
non-student
members
of
that
state
board.
J
There
are
many
concerns
about
the
prospect
of
a
student
member
having
voting
full
voting
rights
and
some
logistical
concerns
with
this
petition,
including
the
timing,
but
I
do
hope
that
we
could
have
a
pretty
thoughtful
debate
and
conversation
and
perhaps
some
offers
of
comments
today,
but
know
that
this
petition
will
be
addressed
again
in
your
year.
I
am
also
aware
that
adding
this
student
number
vote
to
the
school
committee
would
then
create
eight
people
and
perhaps
a
a
possibility
of
more
ties
on
the
school
committee.
J
So,
currently,
the
process
by
which
candidates
to
fill
that
student
member
role
are
selected
by
bsac,
but
it's
not
clearly
outlined
to
the
general
public
that
needs
to
certainly
happen.
We
know
that
the
enabling
acts
of
1991
that
created
our
current
committee
structure
spells
out
the
nomination
process
for
current
flow
members.
J
My
hope
is
that,
through
this
process,
we
will
create
a
similar,
if
not
greater,
transparency
regarding
the
selection
of
both
full
adult
members
and
the
election
as
a
former
member
myself
zach
and
as
someone
who
has
watched
many
student
members
excel
and
be
deeply
engaged
in
the
school
committee.
Despite
not
having
the
right
to
vote,
I
am
committed
to
finding
a
way
to
enfranchise
the
student
member
of
the
boston
school
committee.
This
home
rule
petition
will
certainly
be
edited
and
reshaped
several
times
before
we
take
a
vote
on
it.
J
A
Thank
you,
counselor
savvy
george,
not
seeing
any
discussion.
Let
me
just
add,
as
I
think
you
know,
I'm
in
100
agreement.
I
think
this
is
critically
important.
The
student
representative
and
my
estimation
has
often
been
the
most
vocal
thoughtful
member
oftentimes
on
on
different
issues,
asking
amazing
questions
and
really
pushing
the
work
forward.
I
would
argue
that
we
should
have
two
student
members
who
could
vote
and
that
solves
the
thai
issue.
I've
always
felt
like
one
student
member
voting
or
non-mem
or
non-voting
was
not
enough
and
that
there
should
be
two
members.
A
M
Thank
you,
councillor,
sabi
george,
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
here.
I
also
want
to
thank
kimani
james,
who,
of
course,
has
been
just
an
incredible
advocate
on
this
issue,
and
so
many
others,
along
with
the
previous
student
representatives.
I
also
have
to
give
a
shout
out
to
my
chief
of
staff
ellie
for
her
past
leadership.
With
respect
to
this
work
as
well.
M
M
N
You
thank
you,
madam
president.
Madam
president,
please
add
my
name
and
I
agree.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
listen
and
participate
in
many
school
committee
meetings
over
the
last
several
years
and
from
my
experience,
the
student
representative
on
the
school
committee
asked
important
questions
provided
significant
input
took
the
job
seriously
and
debated
with
his
colleagues
about
bps
regated
issues.
I
think
that's
the
type
of
dialogue
we
need
in
in
hearing
that
dialogue
from
a
young
person.
N
G
Thank
you,
madam
president,
just
wanted
to
very
quickly
thank
the
sponsor
and
say
I'm
all
for
it.
We
should
move
this
ahead
and
and
agreed
that
there
are
larger
conversations
about
our
school
committee,
governance
and
and
school
governance
in
general,
but
this
piece
should
move
forward
regardless
and
and
really
be
accelerated.
So,
thank
you
very
much
and
please
add
my
name.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
also
want
to
thank
the
maker
for
this
and
echo
all
of
the
comments
and
support,
and
I
also
just
want
to
say
that
I
think
president
jamie's
suggestion
of
enhancing
the
two
seats
making
a
second
seat
for
students
actually
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
and
I
would
support
that
as
well.
If
that
finds
its
way
into
how
we
think
about
this
in
the
future.
But
I
think
this
is
a
fantastic
idea
and
I
applaud
you
for
putting
them
on
the
floor.
Thank
you.
H
H
We
always
talk
about
young
people
being
the
future,
but
really
do
we
create
opportunities
for
them
to
define
what
future
they
want
for
themselves,
and
so
this
will
be
another
great
way
for
that
restorative
justice
to
work,
and
I
agree
with
consular
president
council
janie
in
regards
to
having
two
young
people
on
the
board.
I
think
that
that
is
a
really
great
way
to
solve
that
thai
issue,
but
also,
more
importantly,
in
terms
of
equity.
H
It
gives
more
youth
voice
because
they're,
the
ones
who
live
in
these
realities
they're
the
ones
who
know
exactly
what
they
want
to
see,
change
and
they're
the
ones
who
should
be
able
to
have
a
a
a
voice,
a
louder
voice.
Not
you
know,
you
know,
you
know
what
I
mean
enough
voice
to
speak
their
truth
and
that's
it.
Thank
you
so
much.
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
just
briefly
I'd
like
to
add
my
voice
to
the
chorus
thanking
the
at-large
counts
from
dorchester
for
her
leadership
in
the
space
and
on
all
things,
education.
Obviously,
I
I
enthusiastically
add
my
name
and
add
my
support
to
this
initiative
would
certainly
agree
with
the
comments
made
by
several
of
you
that,
quite
often
the
youth
voice,
the
youth
representative
on
the
school
committee
has
offered
the
most
compelling
and
relevant
testimony
to
many
of
these
weighty
issues.
F
I'd
simply
close
by
saying,
obviously
the
the
calendar
is
is
quick
ending,
so
it
is
likely,
as
the
author
suggested,
we'd
be
looking
at
this
again
in
the
new
year.
One
thing,
I've
always
supported,
has
been
a
hybrid
model
for
school
committee
and
that's
half
elected
half
appointed,
and
I
think,
even
at
this,
looking
at
the
student
position
to
be
elected
among
boston,
public
school
students
is
also
something
I'd
like
to
explore.
F
J
J
We
may
see
that
before
the
body
as
well
as
it
is
an
expenditure,
but
we
are,
we
are
looking
into
that,
so
it
isn't
before
the
body,
yet
it
may
be
before
the
body
related
to,
but
not
directly
required
of
a
voting
member
just
wanted
to
add
that
it's
a
7500,
stipend,
all
other
members
get.
The
student
should
also
receive
it.
A
Amen
show
of
physical
hands
now
for
those
who
want
to
add
their
names.
Madam
clerk,
if
you
could
please
add
counselor
edwards
counselor
flynn,
councillor
mejia
councillor
bach,
council,
flaherty,
council,
o'malley,
council,
braden
councillor
campbell
council
arroyo
councillor
wu.
I
believe
council
mejia,
you
are
adding
your
name
too
and
please
add
the
chair.
I
believe
that's
all
of
us.
A
N
N
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Madam
president,
this
resolution
is
to
recognize
native
american
heritage
day,
which
is
observed
every
year
on
the
friday
after
thanksgiving
in
native
american
heritage
month,
which
is
november.
I
know
it's
a
bit
late,
but
it's
still
important
that
we
recognize
native
american
history
and
achievements.
N
Native
americans
have
been
important
contributors
contributions
to
our
history.
The
name
of
our
state
massachusetts
came
from
the
massachusetts
native
american
tribe
that
lived
in
the
blue
hills
region.
The
word
translate
as
the
great
hill
other
tribes
in
the
area
include:
wampanoag,
pawtucket,
nipmock
and
narragansett,
among
others,
in
my
neighborhood
of
south
boston.
N
The
most
well-known
are
the
navajo
code
talkers,
which
created
an
unbreakable
code
in
the
unwritten
navajo
language
that
gave
the
us
marines
a
critical
edge
in
the
war
in
the
pacific
in
world
war
ii.
We
also
need
to
record
recognize
that,
despite
their
contributions,
native
americans
have
been
excluded
from
boston.
Historically,
the
indian
imprisonment
in
exclusion
act
of
1675
banned
indigenous
residents
from
living
within
boston's
city
limits
and
though
unenforced
in
modern
times
it
was
not
formally
repealed
until
2004.
N
N
And
finally,
madam
president,
I
I
wanted
to
especially
highlight
the
native
american
veterans,
because
here
they
are
sacrificing
for
our
nation
in
many
wars,
getting
getting
killed
in
action,
getting
wounded
in
action
and
coming
back
to
our
country
and
not
treating
with
the
same
level
of
respect
and
dignity
as
other
ethnicities.
So
I
wanted
to
highlight
especially
highlight
that
point.
Thank
you,
madam,
madam
president,
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
highlight
this.
A
K
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
want
to
first
acknowledge
that
the
land
that
boston
city
hall
stands
on
is
a
traditional
indigenous
territory
of
the
massachusetts
nation
and
I'm
very
grateful
to
councillor
flynn.
I'm
proud
to
be
a
co-sponsor
on
this
resolution
recognizing
native
american
heritage
day.
We
really
have
to
ensure
that
we
celebrate
native
american
and
indigenous
peoples,
not
only
through
our
words
and
actions
like
this,
but
by
listening
to
and
supporting
the
native
indigenous
peoples
that
are
a
part
of
our
community.
K
I've
been
privileged
to
work
with
them
on
a
number
of
things
most
recently
in
regard
to
trying
to
save
the
train
to
heath
street,
as
the
t
is
proposing
to
cut
it
off
at
brigham
circle,
a
fight
which
is
ongoing,
and
you
know
I
think
counselor
flynn
has
alluded
to
the
fact
that
our
native
american
and
indigenous
you
know,
fellow
residents
and
citizens
are
disproportionately
veterans.
They're
also
disproportionately
likely
to
be
dependent
on
transit
in
and
and
disproportionately
likely
to
be
impacted
by
a
host
of
the
injustices
of
our
society.
K
I
think
we
all
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
we
honor
them
best
with
justice.
We
have
to
do
more
in
the
coming
years
to
ensure
that
their
lands,
their
histories
and
communities
are
protected,
but
I
think
acknowledging
them
for
this
heritage
day
is
a
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
So,
thank
you
so
much,
madam
president,
and
I
join
councillor
flynn
in
in
urging
suspension
and
passage
of
this
resolution.
Thank
you.
Thank.
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
want
to
thank
the
sponsors
for
this
resolution.
It's
vitally
important
that
we
continue
to
recognize
and
and
uplift
the
inherited
native
american
heritage
and
indigenous
peoples
in
our
city.
It's
it's
always
important
to
recognize
and
acknowledge
that
we
live
on
the
former,
the
lands
of
indigenous
peoples
and
I
come
from.
I
live
in
oak
square
brighton,
which
is
the
native
peoples
there.
The
nonantum
band
were
historically
converted
to
christianity
at
the
bottom
of
my
street
in
oak
square
under
an
oak
tree.
O
O
A
M
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I'll
I'll.
Be
brief.
I
want
to,
of
course
thank
the
makers
and
councillor
flynn.
Thank
you
for
that
detailed
historical
context.
That
many
don't
know
and
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
congratulate
you
both
for
bringing
this
forward,
but
also
you
know,
I
live
in
mata
matapan,
which
we
know
is
named
either.
M
Some
have
suggested
it's
a
good
place
to
be,
or
a
good
place
to
sit
which
comes
from
our
indigenous
people
and
most
don't
know
that
history,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
you
lifting
it
up.
I'll
also
add
you
know
if
we
look
at
cobit
19,
there
is
a
renewed
conversation
across
the
country
on
really
looking
at
how
disparities,
not
only
in
health
but
across
every
metric,
is
affecting
our
native
brothers
and
sisters
and
indigenous
people
and
how
it's
actually
worse
than
many
communities
of
color
and
that's
not
by
accident.
M
M
So,
thank
you
both,
please
add
my
name,
madam
president,
and
and
I
also
want
to
just
lift
up
those
who
are
doing
the
work
every
single
day
to
make
sure
that
political
leadership
is
more
representative
of
of
indigenous
folks
and,
of
course,
that
we
are
also
bringing
their
stories
into
the
fold.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
A
A
If
you
recall
last
month
we
did
a
land
acknowledgement
and
I
think
it's
it's
really
important.
I'm
just
thinking
back
of
my
own
schooling
right
here
in
boston,
public
schools
and
what
I
was
taught
about
the
relationship
between
indigenous
folks
and
the
pilgrims
and
the
colonists
who
who
came-
and
you
know
I
think,
as
we
now
know,
that
that
history,
that
education
was
very,
let's
say,
misinformed
and
boldface
lies.
A
I
don't
know
how
we
want
to
express
it,
but
you
know
it's
important
to
acknowledge
it's,
not
just
the
land
that
that
city
hall
sits
on
and
where
our
homes
sit
on.
That
used
to
be
belong
to
indigenous
folks,
but
it's
how
that
land
got
acquired,
that
we've
got
to
remember
and
it
was
very
violent
and
brutal,
and
that
is
a
part
of
the
american
story
of
how
this
country
was
formed.
And
it's
painful-
and
I
know
people
don't
like
to
talk
about
that.
A
But
it's
important
that
we
acknowledge
that
and
that
we
make
sure
that
we
don't
find
ourselves
repeating
this
in
the
in
the
future.
We've
got
lots
of
disparities,
as
you
heard,
counselor
campbell
mentioned,
and
it's
important
that
we
do
everything
to
shore
up
and
strengthen
communities
throughout
boston,
particularly
those
who
have
been
vulnerable
because
of
racism
colonialism
and
every
other
ism
around.
A
Thank
you
very
much
again
to
the
makers.
I
would
ask
for
a
show
of
physical
hands
for
those
who
want
to
have
their
names
added
to
this
resolution.
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
clerk,

you
could
please

Madam
president,
the
second
laid
file
mata
has
received
a
unanimous
vote.
A
B
A
M
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
my
apologies
for
the
late
file.
As
you
can
imagine,
we've
been
getting
a
lot
of
calls
and
emails,
and
just
was
in
a
meeting
this
morning
in
my
district,
virtually
of
course
where
this
issue
came
up
around
the
vaccine,
of
course,
and
and
making
sure
that
communities
of
color
in
particular,
are
brought
into
the
fold
early
with
respect
to
conversations
around
distrust
in
access,
as
it
is
looking
more
likely
that
a
cobit
19
vaccine
will
be
available
soon,
possibly
before
the
end
of
the
year.
M
A
big
piece
of
this,
of
course,
is
developing
strategies
not
only
with
our
health
care
providers,
but
also
with
communities
of
color
who,
although
disproportionately
impacted
and
vulnerable
to
the
virus,
are
more
skeptical
of
a
vaccine
and
less
likely
to
get
it.
This
is
because
of
a
long
and
painful
history
of
medical
racism
against
black.
M
M
H
And
I
know
how
much
you
found
upon
lay
files
and
people
who
talk
too
much
so
I'll
try
to
be
as
quick
as
possible,
because
I
I
don't
want
to
keep
it
from
me.
No
more.
I
I
just
really
think
that
I'm
happy
to
see
counselor
campbell
addressing
this
issue.
I
know
that
in
my
my
own,
immediate
family,
and
even
in
my
own
little
village,
I've
been
getting
a
lot
of
calls
as
well
from
people
who
are
saying
that
they
refuse
to
take
this
vaccine.
H
They
don't
want
to
be
guinea
pigs
and
they
don't
trust
the
government
and
many
are
concerned
about
if
they
don't
take
the
vaccine
they're
concerned
about,
what's
going
to
happen
to
their
livelihood
as
to
whether
or
not
they're
even
going
to
be
able
to
work.
So
I
think
that
the
the
fear
is
real
in
communities
of
color
and
I'm
really
excited
to
be
a
part
of
this
conversation
and
thank
you
again
to
the
maker
and
looking
forward
to
being
a
part
of
the
dialogue,
and
please
add
my
name.
A
A
Please
also
add
the
chair.
This
final
late
file
matter
will
be
referred
to
the
committee
on
public
health,
we'll
now
move
on
to
green
sheets.
I
see
at
least
one
colleague
who
would
like
to
pull
from
the
green
sheets
and
I'm
aware
of,
and
that
is
counselor
bach,
so
I'm
going
to
call
upon
council
black.
We
obviously
have
to
make
sure
that
these
matters
are
before
the
body,
so
we'll
take
a
pause
to
make
sure
that
people
can
get
to
their
ears.
K
A
B
B
K
Yes,
no,
as
the
clerk
has
just
read
this
is
in
relation
to
the
desire
quincy
upper
school
for
time.
I
won't
go
into
this
except
to
say,
as
we
said
last
time,
this
has
been
a
long
odyssey
for
the
chinatown
community
and
we
are
so
thrilled,
and
I
know
that
counselor
ed
flynn,
our
colleague,
whose
district
this
is,
is
so
thrilled
to
see
this
finally
coming
to
fruition.
So,
as
we
all
know,
our
capital
dockets
do
in
debt,
the
city
right.

As
I
think
folks
know,
chief
jerome
smith
is
leaving
the
city
of
boston.
He
has
served
as
the
chief
of
civic
engagement
and
the
director
of
ons
he's
been
with
the
city
for
11
years.
His
last
day
is
on
friday.
I've
had
the
pleasure
as
the
district
7
counselor,
of
working
very
closely
with
with
chief
smith
on
a
number
of
items
impacting
my
district.
A
He
has
been
extremely
helpful
in
new
being
square,
so
I
wanted
to
wish
him
well
congratulate
him
on
his
new
opportunity
and
thank
him
for
his
dedicated
service
to
the
city
of
boston
with
him,
leaving.
That
means
we've
got
some
new
folks
coming
in,
and
I
certainly
want
to
give
a
huge
shout
out
to
the
new
chief
of
civic
engagement,
and
that
is
aisha,
miller
folks
know
her
from
her
time
at
isd.
A
She
is
stepping
into
that
role
as
the
new
chief
of
engagement,
so
we
welcome
her
and
congratulate
her
in
that
role.
Eddie
mcguire
is
the
new
director
of
ons,
so
certainly
want
to
congratulate
him
jessica,
thomas,
who
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
again
in
district
seven.
She
is
the
roxbury
liaison.
A
A
Faiza
sharif
is
also
stepping
up
and
she
was.
I
worked
with
her
as
a
southend
liaison.
She
is
the
new
deputy
director
of
ons,
so
we
certainly
congratulate
her
in
her
new
role
and
then
finally
kimberly
crucioli,
and
I
apologize
if
I'm
butchering
your
name,
but
she
is
the
new
south
end
back
bay,
village
liaison,
and
we
welcome
her
and
congratulate
her
and
her
role.
So
I
just
wanted
to
offer
the
warm
welcome
and
congratulations
to
the
new
folks
coming
in
folks
who
are
stepping
up
into
new
roles
and
folks
who
are
leaving.
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I'll
be
very
brief.
Just
wanted
to.
As
you
recall,
from
our
last
hearing,
my
reception
was
horrendous
at
the
end
of
the
meeting,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
was
clear
that,
with
respect
to
an
update
on
the
release
of
the
community
preservation,
trust
funds,
it's
important
to
note
that
we
received
28.6
match
this
round
from
the
trust
fund.
Distribution,
and
this
base
match
is
significantly
higher
than
recent
years
in
large
part
because
of
a
great
assist
from
our
register
of
deeds.
C
Former
city,
council,
steve
murphy,
and
also
the
fact
that,
on
behalf
of
the
council,
I
had
put
forth
a
resolution
in
partnership
with
council
campbell
and
the
rest
of
our
colleagues
to
increase
the
recording
fees
of
the
registry
of
deeds.
That
would
provide
an
increase
in
revenue
for
the
cpa
community
so
that
legislation,
as
we
know,
passed
december
of
2019,
which
more
than
doubled
the
monthly
revenue
for
the
trust
fund
and
without
that
legislation
based
on
what's
happening
due
to
covid.
C
Those
numbers
probably
would
have
plummeted
into
single
digits.
So
just
happy
to
report
that
this
year,
boston
received
six
billion
hundred
eighty
one
thousand
five
hundred
seventeen
trust
fund
distribution
dollars,
which
is
the
largest
in
the
commonwealth.
So
great
work
on
behalf
of
all
of
us
here
at
the
council
and
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
give
a
shout
out
to
our
former
colleague
in
the
current
register
of
deeds,
steve
murphy
for
working
with
us
on
this
issue.
A
A
There
are
no
city
council
hearings
or
working
sessions
after
the
16th,
so
we
have
literally
a
two-week
window
to
to
finish
up
our
legislative
work
for
this
calendar
year.
So
I
appreciate
that
people
are
winding
down
and
not
introducing
new
hearing
orders
and
ordinances
and
things
of
that
sort
and
are
going
to
wait
until
january
as
we
go
forward.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
work
that
is
before
us
that
we're
getting
that
work
done
and
I'm
really
grateful
for
the
commitment
of
all
committee
chairs
for
moving
the
work
forward.
A
So
thank
you
so
much.
I
just
want
to
make
that
clear
that
there
aren't
any
hearings
or
working
sessions
scheduled
after
december
16th.
That's
according
to
our
rules
now
clearly,
counselors
can
continue
to
do
their
work
and
hold
their
own
sessions
or
community
forums,
dialogues
etc
after
the
16th,
but
in
terms
of
a
formal
session
of
the
council,
it
ends
on
the
16th,
and
so
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
all
of
our
work
done.
So
I
just
appreciate
the
committee
chairs
and
and
sponsors
of
certain
dockets
for
getting
this
work
done.
A
If
there
are
no
other
announcements,
we're
ready
to
move
on
and
close
out,
not
seeing
any
blue
hands
great,
we
will
move
on
to
our
memorials.
Today.
We
will
adjourn
our
meeting
in
memory
of
the
following
individuals
for
council
of
bach
bolivar
soto
jr
for
councillor
braden,
rob
liu
for

for

and
mineta
weight,
and
for
the
chair,
jenny,
chalmers
and
deborah
rose
jackson.
A
moment
of
silence.
A
A
Thank
you.
The
chair
moves
when
the
council
adjourns
it
does
so.
In
memory
of
the
aforementioned
individuals,
we
are
scheduled
to
meet
again
on
wednesday
december
9th
at
12
noon,
for
the
safety
of
the
general
public
and
all
those
involved.
