Please

Mr

Will

President
Mr

I

Flaherty.
Would
you
like
to
come
to
the
podium
to
introduce
our
clergy
for
today.
D
He
prior
to
that
he's
been
around
for
a
while
been
around
a
little
longer
than
I
have
I
think,
but
he
served
as
the
12th
Baptist
as
a
young
man
and
spent
14
years
as
a
youth
Minister
before
taking
his
ministry
to
the
streets,
he
also
became
the
co-pastor
of
the
Dorchester
Temple
Baptist
in
cobbin
square
back
in
93
working
alongside
of
his
white
co-pass.
That's
a
cultivate,
multi-racial
congregation.
Pastor
wall
now
serves,
as
mentioned
as
pastor
of
the
Global
Ministries
church
in
Dorchester.
D
Continuing
his
work
in
his
ministry
in
the
community
married
a
little
over
35
years
with
three
children,
no
grandchildren.
Yet,
but
who
knows
what's
in
store,
he
has
been
a
valuable
resource
and
partner
and
friend
for
me
and
for
the
city
and
for
our
neighborhoods.
Our
families
go
back
many
many
years.
He
worked
very
closely
with
my
aunt
Winnie
and
she
was
also
my
godmother
and
also
served
and
presided
over
her
funeral
many
years
ago
when
she
died
at
a
very
young
age.

C
Seventy
eight
dollars
to
cover
the
fiscal
year,
23
costs
contained
within
the
collective
bargaining
agreements
between
the
city
of
Boston
and
the
International
Brotherhood
of
Electrical
Workers,
the
terms
of
the
contract
at
July,
1st
2021
through
June
30th
2020
E3.
The
major
provisions
of
the
contract
include
base
wage
increases
of
two
percent,
one
point:
five
percent
and
two
percent
to
be
given
in
October
of
each
fiscal
year
of
the
contract
term,
as
well
as
other
items,
including
a
boot
allowance.
B
F
You
Mr
President
Mr,
President
I'm,
going
to
be
requesting
suspension
and
passage
of
these
two
dockets
as
they
represent
a
settled
contract
for
a
very
small
number
of
workers,
the
nine
electrical
inspectors
in
ISD,
and
they
reflect
the
pattern
and
other
Provisions
that
we've
been
discussing
in
Prior
hearings
over
the
course
of
this
year.
So
there's
really
there's
nothing
novel
in
here,
I
Whenever
there
is,
or
it's
a
large
sum
I
want
to
hold
a
hearing,
but
I
think
for
these.
It
would
be
great
to
get
the
back
pay
to
these
nine
inspectors.
F
Just
to
refresh
the
council,
the
clerk
already
read
that
it
follows
the
pattern
of
the
two
percent
1.5
percent
and
two
percent
increases
on
the
wage
side.
There's
an
updated
military
leave
policy
which
again
we
reviewed
in
the
past,
is
just
reflects.
A
federal
update.
Juneteenth
is
added
to
the
contract
as
a
recognized
holiday.
F
Again,
we've
seen
that
in
the
other,
parallel
contracts
settled
and
and
then
and
I,
just
I
asked
I'm
reading
all
of
the
little
terms
since
we're
not
having
a
hearing
so
there's
a
75
percent
increase
in
the
travel
allowance
from
15.25
dollars
per
day
to
16
per
day
and
and
there's
a
clothing
footwear
allowance
in
the
amount
of
250
dollars
yeah.
So
those
are
the
those
are
the
little
finicky
things,
but
the
basic
message
is:
these:
are
nine
electrical
inspectors.
F
B
Thank
you,
Council
block,
Council
blocks,
seeks
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
docket,

all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
all
right,
I'll,
post,
say,
nay,
the

have

The
dock
of
his
past
console
box

of
the
rules

power

all
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
all
right,
I'll
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it.
The
docket
has
passed.
B
B
G
Races
have
a
working
session
on
Friday
December,
2nd
2022.
This
ordinance
would
amend
the
city
of
Boston
code
of
ordinances
by
adding
new
sections
and
subsections
regarding
closed
captioning
activation.
The
purpose
of
this
ordinance
is
to
expand
accessible
Communication
in
places
of
public
accommodation.
The
ordinance
requires
public
facilities
in
Boston
to
activate
closed
captioning
on
closed
caption
television
receivers
in
public
areas
during
regular
business
hours.
However,
it
does
not
apply
to
public
entertainment
venues.
G
We
were
also
joined
by
Advocates
Darian
Gambrell
executive
director
of
deaf
Incorporated
and
Kat
Devar,
our
divarc
director
of
communication
access
services
for
Massachusetts
commission
for
the
deaf
and
hard
of
hearing
and
I'd
like
to
thank
them
for
their
attendance
participation
as
well.
Passage
of
this
docket
will
increase
accessibility
to
information
for
individuals
with
disabilities.
This
ordinance
does
so
by
expanding
accessibility
and
participation
to
individuals
with
disabilities
in
public
spaces
and
on
public-facing
TVs.
G
B
F
You
so
much
Mr
President.
We
had
a
really
productive
hearing.
This
was
a
matter
that
was
sponsored
by
myself
and
councilor.
Braden
I
want
to
thank
yourself,
president
Flynn
councilor,
Murphy
and
counselor
Louis
Jen
for
joining
us
and
also
councilor
Coletta,
who
was
sick
but
was
watching
in
real
time
and
got
we
got
some
detailed
questions
in
for
her
I
I
would
commend
to
all
counselors
the
extensive
update
packet
that
the
administration
produced
for
this
hearing,
because
it
was
a
great
snapshot
of
kind
of
where
everything
is
on
arpa
spending.
F
This
was
really
the
goal
being
to
say.
Okay,
we
passed
these.
You
know
authorizations
in
July.
Where
are
where's,
the
administration
in
terms
of
getting
money
is
actually
out
the
door.
Grant
agreement
signed
rfps
out
in
the
case
of
things
that
the
city
is
going
to
spend
and
I.
Think
I
think
we
learned
a
lot
Acro
across
a
whole
host
of
topic
areas,
and
it
was
very,
it
was
very
informative.
F
B
B
H
President
on
December
5th,
the
committee
on
civil
rights
and
immigrant
advancement
held
a
hearing
on
docket
1148,
a
hearing
to
discuss
the
needs
and
services
for
migrant
populations,
sponsored
by
myself.
The
committee
had
a
robust
and
long
hearing
what
nearly
three
and
a
half
hours
and
I
was
glad
to
be
joined
by
councilors
Flynn,
counselor,
Braden,
counselor,
Mejia,
counselor,
Tanya,
Financial
Anderson
and
a
letter
of
absence
from
councilor
Coletta.
H
Daisy
Gutierrez
Zeta
adamez
from
Mutual
ADC
and
Claire
Lewis
oklani
from
acidone.
We
had
a
really
robust
conversation
about
the
needs,
oh
and
I
think
I
a
robust
conversation
about
the
needs
of
our
migrant
populations,
something
that
was
brought
to
the
forest.
Many
of
us
know
when
that
you
know
the
political
stunt
engaged
in
by
Governor
DeSantis,
but
these
are
crises
that
our
communities
have
been
dealing
with
for
quite
some
time
and
they've
been
doing
The
Impossible
on
a
shoestring
budget.
H
I
encourage
that
you
review
the
tape
and
hear
firsthand
how
our
Hospital,
shelters
and
Community
organizations
are
on
the
brink,
as
Boston
has
seen
a
substantial
increase
in
migrant
families,
and
we
have
a
duty
to
really
help
those
who
are
fleeing
persecution.
We
here
and
both
at
the
city
level
and
the
state
level,
have
the
ability
and
the
capacity
to
make
meaningful
resources
available,
and
so
we
should
do
that.
And
you
know,
as
we
look
forward
to
the
budget
season
and
what
we're
able
to
do.
H
B
C
B
F
You
Mr
President
morning,
both
dockets
were
sponsored
by
councilor
Murphy.
Thank
you
to
yourself,
councilor,
Colette
and
Council
of
Flaherty
for
also
joining
I.
Think
it
was
a
really
useful
conversation
with
bcyf
about
the
sort
of
twin
challenges
of
both
Staffing
our
pools
and
making
sure
that
they
are
up
to
Snuff
on
the
capital
side.
We
know
there's
a
lot
of
challenges
there
and
we
really
kind
of
got
a
chance
to
walk
through
with
bcyf
the
status
of
all
the
pools,
the
ones
that
are
open
the
ones
that
could
be
open.
F
I
think
it
was.
It
was
a
really
useful,
proactive
conversation
and
then
obviously,
on
the
Lifeguard
side,
you
know
anybody
who
wants
to
lifeguard.
Please
sign
up
to
do
that
for
pcyf.
We
of
course
have
a
bunch
of
full-time
positions
in
lifeguarding
because
of
our
pools
that
are
open,
year-round
indoors
and
that's
in
addition
to
the
seasonal
summer.
Lifeguarding
needs
so
it
was.
It
was
great
and
I'd
thank
councilor
Murphy
for
calling
the
hearings
and
again
Mr
President
would
ask
that
these
matters
stay
in
committee.
Thank
you.
B
F
You
Mr
President,
sorry
for
all
these
reports,
so
this
this
matter
responsible
by
myself,
counselor
Colette
and
counselor
Worrell
and
councilman
Murphy,
Flynn,
Braden
and
Fernandez
Anderson
also
joined.
So
thank
you.
This
was
kind
of
a
companion
to
the
arpa
update
hearing
was
a
hearing
to
just
check
in
on
where
we
are
for
all
the
competitive
applications
for
monies
being
made
available
through
the
bipartisan
infrastructure
law
and
then
actually
also
through
the
inflation
reduction
act,
because
there's
a
lot
of
competitive,
Grant
things
there.
F
So
we
had
a
really
broad
cross-spectrum
team
and
Chris
Osgood
was
here
along
with
Casey
Brock,
Wilson
inas
Foster,
and
then
we
had
commissioner
brezius
from
the
environment
department
at
our
CIO
Santiago
Garces,
trying
to
mentally
remember
where
they
all
were
on
somebody
else
who
of
Vinnie
Gupta
for
BTD.
So
it
was
like
a
pretty
in
the
weeds,
again
detailed
discussion
of
the
grants
that
we've
been
applying
for
where
we've
been
successful,
we're
waiting
to
hear
or
you've
been
unsuccessful.
F
So
it's
a
good
conversation
and
again
I'll
just
make
sure
after
this
hearing
that
counselors
get
the
packet
from
both
that
here
and
the
Monday
one,
because
I
think
there's
probably
about
100
Pages
there
of
really
detailed
information
about
what
the
administration
is
doing
on
both
fronts
and
Mr.
President
I
would
ask
that
this
matter
also
remain
in
committee.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
G
You
Mr
President,
this
kind
of
Homebrew
petition
has
been
somewhat
standard
in
the
last
couple
years.
Well,
I've
been
here,
it's
a
maximum
age
requirement
for
the
Boston
Police
Department's
Academy
is
40
years
old
and
the
passage
of
this
docket
does
not
guarantee
an
applicant
in
this
case.
Ms
Wilfred
dekaza
a
position
or
an
entry
into
the
academy.
It
simply
waves
the
age
requirement,
which
is
40
years
old,
Mr
DeCosta,
is
44..
G
In
this
particular
case,
Mr
dakosa
moved
to
the
United
States
for
from
Haiti
and
his
process
towards
permanent
residency
took
several
years
longer
than
he
expected
which
stalled
his
ability
to
apply
for
the
Boston
Police
Department's
Academy
Mr
de
Cosa
is
just
four
years
over
that
maximum
age
requirement,
which
is
set
at
40
years
old
and
is
chair
of
government
operations,
I'm
actually
seeking
suspension
of
rule
33
today
to
pass
docket
1501
today,
if
possible.
So
we
can
send
this
on
its
way
to
the
house.
B
Mr
Clerk,
please
Council
Council
Braden,
Council,
Colorado,
Council,
Fernandez,
Anderson,
Council,
Flaherty,
Council,
Lara,
Council,
regen,
councilmania,
Council,
Murphy
Council,
we're
all
pleased
at
the
chair
come
Council.
Arroyo
is
seeking
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
docket
1501,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
aye
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
the
dock
of
his
past
Mr
clerk.
Please
read
talk
at
1502
doctor.
I
B
I
I
had
the
honor
of
attending
the
Earth
shot
Awards
and
was
inspired
by
the
nominees
who
are
using
Cutting,
Edge
technology
and
science
to
curb
CO2
emissions,
protect
marine
life
in
our
oceans,
preserve
our
natural
habitats
and
much
more
naturally,
I
started
wondering
about
their
life
trajectories
and
what
brought
them
to
that
moment
and
and
to
be
leaders
in
helping
Humanity
against
our
biggest
fight
and
then
I
thought
about
how
we
were
fostering
our
own
climate
leaders.
Here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
I
Therefore,
it
is
only
right
that
we
invest
in
them
and
that
we
set
them
up
for
success
with
the
tools
necessary
to
potentially
be
the
next
or
shot
winners
or,
at
the
very
least,
conscious,
stewards
of
our
environment
and
citizens
who
care
about
our
planet.
This
is
why
I'm
bringing
this
proposal
forward
with
urgency,
understanding
full
well
that
I'll
need
to
refile
next
year,
but
it's
imperative
that
we
call
attention
now
to
the
fact
that
Massachusetts
ranks
in
the
lowest
tier
for
the
inclusion
of
climate
change
related
content
in
Steam
curriculums.
I
B
H
This
is
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
think
about
what
curriculum
looks
like
in
our
public
schools,
for
so
many
of
our
young
kids,
who
are
already
leading
the
way
on
this
issue,
but
also
as
a
way
of
getting
folks
prepared
to
really
think
about
how
they
can
see
themselves
in
building
the
future
and
that
green
infrastructure
that
we
need
here
for
our
city.
So
I.
Thank
you
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
on.
J
You
president
Flynn,
and
thank
you
councilor
Coletta,
for
bringing
this
important
issue
and
discussion
today
and
for
allowing
me
to
be
a
co-sponsor
as
a
BPS
graduate
I
would
have
loved
to
have
this
kind
of
curriculum
offered
to
me.
But
one
of
the
things
that
I
do
remember
is
that
education
around
environmental
justice
and
climate
Justice
was
absent.
In
my
own
schooling
and
climate
change
is
going
to
be
the
norm
for
our
young
people.
J
It's
ultimately
going
to
be
the
waters
that
they
are
swimming
in,
and
the
resiliency
of
our
city
and
of
our
state
is
going
to
continue
to
be
all
of
our
responsibility.
I
think
that
this
is
an
opportunity
to
prepare
them
with
the
proper
education
to
be
stewards
of
the
land
and
to
fight
for
its
protection
and
the
protection
of
their
communities.
I
think
a
climate
Justice
curriculum
could
also
open
up
career
Pathways
for
our
students,
so
that
they
can
be
at
the
front
lines
of
an
issue
that
would
undoubtedly
directly
impact
them.
J

K
You
Mr
President
I
would
like
to
thank
councilor
colletta
and
the
co-sponsors
for
this
bring
this
forward.
I
had
the
great
honor
and
pleasure
of
visiting
Boston
green
Academy.
Last
last
Friday
morning,
the
morning
after
the
class
from
the
green
Academy
made
a
presentation
at
the
at
the
Kennedy
Library
about
environmental
justice,
climate
Justice,
incredible
young
leaders
in
our
in
this
particular
school,
and
they
have
a
curriculum
that
it
really
addresses
this
issue.
But
you
know
to
have
that
level
of
concentration
and
interest
in
one
particular
area.
K
This
is
this
is
really
valuable
and
important
information
that
all
of
our
students
should
be
having
access.
These
are
the
the
Future
Leaders
climate,
Justice
and
environmental
justice
are
going,
are
critical
issues.
It
was
really
impressive
to
hear
the
young
people
talk
about
the
impacts
of
of
past
history.
B
J
B
J
You
I
want
to
start
off
by
thanking
the
housing
organizers
who
continue
to
do
the
work
to
ensure
that
our
residents
have
the
right
to
remain
in
their
Community
fight
to
expand
access
to
affordable
housing
and
slow
down
displacement.
This
resolution
is
ultimately
a
call
to
action
to
the
administration.
Administration.
Excuse
me
earlier
this
year.
As
the
chair
of
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
Committee,
we
held
a
hearing
to
explore
changes
to
the
inclusionary
development
policy
to
redefine
what
we
considered:
affordability
using
the
area
median
income
and
to
lower
the
threshold.
J
Many
people
in
Boston
are
just
like
me
and
they're.
Just
one
check
away
from
becoming
unhoused
and
many
more
are
already
paying
over
30
percent
of
their
income
in
rent.
The
inclusionary
development
policy
was
last
change
in
2015..
It
was
due
for
an
update
in
2018
and
a
previous
administration
had
a
study
done
in
2019.
We
are
now
four
years
overdue
for
an
update
and
every
month
that
goes
by
more
luxury
developments
are
being
approved,
we're
losing
the
chance
to
get
long-term,
affordable
units.
J
We
need
to
stabilize
our
neighborhoods
now
mayor
Wu
has
already
commissioned
a
feasibility
study
to
make
changes
to
the
inclusion,
every
development
policy,
which
is
an
important
first
move,
but
these
changes
may
take
until
next
summer
or
Beyond
to
finalize.
In
the
meantime,
every
every
development
is
grandfathered
in
under
our
current
policy,
from
January
to
September
of
2022
projects
with
nearly
3
000
new
units
were
filed
with
the
Boston
with
the
bpda
excuse
me,
and
projects
with
nearly
2
200
new
units
were
approved.
J
If
we
wait
another
six
to
nine
months
to
change
our
inclusionary
development
policy,
thousands
of
new
units
are
going
to
come
to
be
and
we're
not
going
to
be
meeting
the
housing
crisis
with
the
urgency
that
it
requires.
Although
those
projects
will
have
several
hundred
affordable
units,
they
will
stay
at
70
to
100
percent
of
the
Ami
for
the
next
50
years
in
a
city.
J
If
the
city
doesn't
act
now
to
change
our
definition
of
affordability,
we
can
make
those
units
truly
affordable
for
the
next
50
years,
I'm
hopeful
that
the
administration
will
present
a
plan
and
in
that
and
we'll
Implement
a
plan
in
the
coming
months,
but
I
don't
think
that
we
can
miss
out
on
this
opportunity
to
secure
nearly
half
a
Century's
worth
of
affordable
housing
during
our
massive
housing
boom.
Thank
you.
H
H
Also
that
we
were
able
to
address
this,
because
if
not
developments
are
going
to
continue
to
do
things
like
trying
to
skirt
the
affordability
requirements
by
building
only
nine
units,
we
need
to
figure
out
how
we
deepen
the
affordability.
For
so
many
of
our
residents.
We
see.
Evictions
are
increasing
income.
H
Inequality
is
an
issue
of
course,
and
we
have
people
day
in
and
day
out,
moving
out
of
the
city,
because
it
is
too
expensive,
and
so
this
is
one
of
the
tools
that
we
have
squarely
within
our
toolbox
as
a
city
to
try
to
help
affordability.
We
have
seen
a
lot
of
development
over
the
last
decade,
but
a
lot
of
it
has
been
marketing
luxury
development
that
is
not
helping
working
class
families.
People
who
work
for
the
city
who
need
a
place
to
live
too
many
of
our
black
and
brown
communities.
H
So
it's
imperative
that
we
get
action
here
for
so
many
of
our
families
who
need
a
place
to
live.
We
all
know
that
as
city
council
is
the
number
one
call
we
get
from,
residents
is
about
housing
and
how
do
we
make
housing
more,
affordable
and
more
accessible?
And
so
it
is
our
duty
and
within
our
purview
to
act
here
and
to
act
collectively
for
towards
a
solution
and
I
know.
H
I've
had
conversations
with
the
administration
on
this
and
I
know
that
they're
thinking
on
this,
but
it
is
extremely
important
that
we
act
with
all
deliberate
speed,
because
the
housing
crisis
is
a
crisis
that
we
all,
if
not
personally,
hear
about
every
day
from
our
constituents,
and
so
we
can't
wait.
Thank
you.
Thank.
K
Thank
you,
Mr
President,
and
thank
you
to
the
maker
for
including
me
as
an
original
co-sponsor
in
this
resolution.
I'm
grateful
to
councilor
laros
for
councilor
Lara's
leadership
as
chair
of
the
committee
on
Housing
and
Community
Development,
and
I'm
very
happy
to
support
the
efforts
of
the
community
organizations
such
as
the
Coalition
for
a
truly
affordable
Boston
right
to
the
city
and
Boston
tenants
coalition.
K
Over
the
past
10
years,
13
million
square
feet
of
new
construction
have
been
approved
in
Austin
Brighton
and
when
fully
built
out,
they
will
include
more
than
seven
thousand
units
of
housing.
However,
the
average
percentage
of
income
restricted
units
in
these
projects
is
just
14
percent,
just
above
the
current
IDP
minimum
of
13
percent.
K
There's
also
a
clear
need
to
diversify
unit
sizes
for
households
of
all
compositions
and
ages.
Multi-Bedroom
units
are
have
largely
been
excluded
from
new
developments
in
Alison
Brighton
I've
been
at
meetings
where
the
developer
actually
laughed
at
us.
When
we
asked
are
you?
Are
you
going
to
build
family
size
units?
He
looked
at
us
like
we're
from
another
planet,
but
yes,
and
the
projects
that
have
been
approved
over
the
past
decade,
roughly
66
percent,
were
either
one
bedroom,
Studio
or
sros.
K
Only
three
percent
of
the
units
were
three
bedrooms,
and
only
one
percent
had
been
artists
live
work
units,
the
affordability
for
affordably,
furthering
fair
housing.
Ordinance
has
been
a
valuable
tool
that
we
can
actually
pressure.
Developers
to
you
know,
say
no.
You
can't
not
build
housing
for
families,
but
that's
something
that
a
tool
that
we're
using,
but
the
market
rate
new,
but
new,
build
residential
units
are
unaffordable
to
the
majority
of
Austin
Brighton
households,
most
of
those
earn
closer
to
50
to
60
percent
of
the
area
median
income.
K
Just
this
summer,
our
office
contributed
to
negotiations
resulting
in
Harvard,
committing
to
designate
25
of
345
units
included
in
phase
of
the
Enterprise
research
campus
in
Allston
as
on-site
income,
restricted
IDP
rentals,
the
largest
percentage
of
income,
restricted
units
included
in
a
single
project
by
a
private
developer
in
Boston.
Today,
we
also
negotiated
for
a
portion
of
those
units
to
specifically
be
set
aside
for
households
between
30
and
50
of
the
area
median
income.
I
Canceled
president
Flynn
I
want
to
thank
the
makers
and
joined
the
course
in
calling
for
expeditious
action
on
the
city's
inclusionary
development
policy.
Idp,
as
we
all
know,
continues
to
be
a
critical
tool
in
creating
and
funding
income-restricted
housing
in
February
2021.
This
body
called
for
methods
to
strengthen
an
executive
order
that
was
ensigned
by
mayor
Walsh
in
2015
and
a
2019
home
rule
petition
was
ultimately
signed
by
the
governor
in
2020.
However,
the
homero
petition
did
not
let
us
put
IDP
what
let
us
put
IDP
in
the
zoning
code
and
strengthen
linkage
requirements.
I
But,
as
we
all
know,
despite
this
work,
it
does
not
go
far
enough
to
produce
affordable
housing
that
is
actually
affordable
and
I
feel
like
that's
one
of
the
main
things
that
I
hear
in
our
community.
Is
that
we're
seeing
all
of
these
development
proposals
pop
up
and
it
has
affordable
housing,
but
it's
being
built
in
a
way
that
is
exclusive
and
that
is
directly
antithetical
to
the
AFF
affh
ordinance
that
we
pass
through
this
body,
and
we
know
that
East.
I
That
is
out
of
reach
for
my
neighbors
and
so
I
understand
that
mayor
Wu
and
her
team
is
working
on
it,
but
especially
as
we
rezone
in
East
Boston
for
the
first
time
in
30
years,
I
support
lowering
the
threshold
to
capture
more
affordability
in
projects
and
deepening
the
affordability
at
the
end
of
the
day.
So
again,
thank
you
to
the
makers
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
this
I
look
forward
to
action
from
the
wound
Administration
in
the
coming
year.
Thanks
thank.

L
Have
the
form
thank
you,
council
president,
and
thank
you
for
pulling
this
from
the
greensheets.
Last
week,
I
filed
two
17
F's
to
get
information
from
the
Boston
Public
Schools
specific
to
IEPs
out
of
compliance
and
transportation,
not
getting
our
students,
mostly
our
special
ed
ESL,
and
our
minority
students
to
school
on
time
or
at
all.
L
It
did
not
pass
unanimously,
which
is
something
that
has
never
happened
in
the
city
council.
So
I
know
there
was
a
recess,
and
we
are
here
now,
but
I
do
just
want
to
read
a
couple
things
about
the
17f
and
then
bring
it
to
a
vote
today.
So,
as
the
charter
States,
the
17f
is
when
City
councilors
want
any
information
from
the
mayor.
They
request
it
by
filling
out
the
form
which
I
did
with
these
two
17
F's.
L
This
request
is
made
under
the
city,
Charter
law,
section
17f,
that
at
any
time
the
council
May
request
from
the
mayor's
specific
information
as
it
relates
to
City
business.
This
law
is
similar
to
one
used
by
private
citizens
when
they
request
public
information
from
the
government
under
the
federal
Freedom
of
Information,
Act
or
foyer.
As
many
people
know
it,
we
also
know
that
17fs
do
not
need
to
go
through
the
chair.
L
L
So
they
definitely
have
the

Advocate
and

District
leaders
have
not
prioritized
two
BPS
functions
in
crisis.
Special
ed
and
transportation
were
identified
as
critical
BPS
priorities
in
the
BPS
Desi
Desi
memorandum.
Yet
these
functions
have
stagnated
and
in
some
cases,
further
deteriorated
since
2020.
L
BPS
has
shown
a
lack
of
urgency
in
improving
special
ed
services.
20
percent
of
District
sued
students
are
receiving
special
ed
services,
yet
these
Services
remain
in
disarray,
and
the
district
lacks
well
understood
special
ed
policies
and
procedures
to
make
sure
our
students
are
getting
proper
education
and
in
the
transportation
department,
Services
driven
substantial
challenges
with
the
district's
Transportation
contract,
which
I
know
we've
had
hearings
and
we've
talked
to
and
I
talked
to
Transportation
almost
daily.
