I'd
also
like
to
ask
if
we
all
can
be
respectful
and
do
not
disrupt
the
meeting.
While
you
are
here,
if
you
are
disruptive
you'll
be
asked
to
leave
and
if
you
fail
to
comply,
you'll
be
escorted
out.
Please
also
note
that,
according
to
city
council
rules,
there
are
no
signs
allowed
in
the
chamber.
Mr
clerk.
Can
you
please
call
the
road
to
ascertain
the
presence
of
a
quorum?
Please
councilor.
C

He
is
a
minister
based
at
the
Metropolitan
Baptist
Church
in
Dorchester
senior
fellow

the
center
for
collaborative

at
UMass,
Austin,

Wayland
Baptist
Theological
Seminary
as
a
journalist
he's
also
published
numerous
articles
and
editorials
about
race,
culture
and
politics.
Most
of
note,
he
recently
received
the
Martin
Luther
King
Jr
award
at
the
Elliott
Church
in
Roxbury,
someone
that
I
know
and
appreciate
and
respect.
We
don't
always
bat
a
thousand.
We
don't
always
agree.
B
We
agree
more
than
we
disagree,
but
the
spirit
of
that,
and
also
the
friendship
that
has
come
from
that.
He
knows
that,
despite
some
of
my
disagreements,
if
he
needs
anything
I'm,
probably
one
of
the
first
guy
over
the
boards
and
same
if
I
need
something
he's
one
of
the
first
that
I
call
so
I
call
him.
A
true
friend
cares
deeply
about
our
city.
Moving
our
city
forward
and
having
Boston
be
the
best
city.
Apostle
can
be
without
further
Ado.
My
guest
today
Reverend
Kevin
Peterson,
to
deliver
today's
invocation.
B
E
E
E
I
asked
in
my
tradition,
I
asked
that
I'll
stand
as
we
breathe
a
word
of
Prayer
good
morning,
God
of
our
weary
years,
God
of
our
silent,
tears,
thou,
who
has
brought
us
thus
far
along
the
way
thou
who
has
by
thy
might
let
us,
in
the
light,
keep
us
forever
in
the
path
we
pray
lest
our
feet
straight
from
the
place,
our
God,
where
we
met
thee,
Lester
heart
drunk
with
the
wine
of
the
world.
We
forget
the
shadow
beneath
thy
hand.
E
E
E
They
are
fighting
Lord
every
day
against
the
odds
fighting
on
behalf
of
those
who
Jesus
called
the
least
of
these.
They
are
striving
on
the
behalf
of
those
whose
backs
are
against
the
wall
in
life,
struggling
in
pain,
so
Lord.
We
thank
you
because
you
have
blessed
our
families,
our
loved
ones,
our
kith
and
our
kin.
You
have
blessed
our
communities,
you
have
blessed
Boston
and
have
embraced
our
righteous
Endeavors
and
so
Lord
we
say.
Thank
you
still.
Some
of
us
are
confused
and
distraught.
E
Some
of
us
today
face
fear
our
fraughtness
our
fragility,
our
feebleness,
our
finitude
shape
the
features
of
our
days,
and
we
ask
what
is
this
thing
called
life?
What
problems?
What
multiple
vexations
people
our
days
but
joy
comes
in
the
morning
and
then
the
storms
of
life
in
the
winter
bounds
shape-shifting
to
pestuous
trolls
of
our
daily
existence.
We
wonder
where
do
we
turn
to?
Where
do
we
go?
But
joy
comes
in
the
morning,
and
so
we
call
out
for
help
Against
the
Wild
Winds
of
Street
violence.
Right
now
give
us
your
wisdom.
E
Today,
O
Lord.
We
call
out
for
help
against
paralyzing
poverty
in
the
punishing
details,
replete
with
thriving
in
our
city,
give
us
your
knowledge
and
empathy.
Today,
oh
Lord,
we
call
out
for
help
against
the
reign
of
racism
and
the
Ugly
forms
of
xenophobia
of
hate
of
distrust.
Give
us
your
awareness
today,
O
Lord,
and
make
us
turn
towards
each
other
and
not
against
each
other.
Knowing
that
love
is
the
question
and
love
is
the
answer
and
that
we
must
ever
choose
the
Power
of
Love
over
the
love
of
power.
E
We
call
on
you
for
help
recall
on
you
to
help
us
across
the
Broad
Streets,
the
byways,
the
boulevards
that
characterize
the
neighborhoods
and
communities
across
the
city
from
Mass
and
cast
to
Mattapan
Square
from
easty
to
Westy,
from
the
North
End
to
the
South
End
from
the
seaport
Center
to
Center
Street,
be
with
us
in
every
way.
Protect
us
Lord,
protect
us
with
your
love
and
now,
oh
great
God.
This
afternoon
we
ask
for
your
strength
and
your
wisdom
for
the
leaders
gathered
here
today
with
their
heads
bowed.
E
E
Keep
these
men
and
women
of
the
Boston
city,
council,
humble
and
hard-working:
keep
these
women
and
men
dedicated
not
to
themselves
but
to
the
most
desperate
and
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
city.
Keep
these
women
and
men
open
to
the
hope
that
their
efforts
can
be
translated
into
the
exigencies
of
good
policy.
Keep
these
women
and
men
ever
aware
that
they
are
at
their
best
conductors
of
our
best
and
Collective
intentions
and
bless
our
mayor
and
bless
our
Commissioner
of
police
and
bless
our
superintendent
of
schools.
E

E
E
E
E
Now,
no
one
is
perfect:
we've
all
sinned
and
falls
short
of
the
glory
of
God,
but
again
in
all
sobriety
and
with
all
the
love
I
can
muster
in
my
heart,
I
ask:
might
we
be
better
and
we
preachers
struggle
with
this
every
day
and
every
hour
we
preachers
try
to
be
better.
We
struggle
with
it
every
hour
of
every
day
we
leaders
who
just
try
to
be
a
little
better
and
as
I
come
to
my
the
closing
of
my
remarks.
I
I
just
want
to
encourage
you
based
on
what
we
in
the
public.
E
Has
seen
this
year,
we
ask
you
out
of
a
deep
love
in
our
heart
to
be
better,
be
a
little
kinder
to
each
other,
be
a
little
more
careful
to
each
other,
be
a
little
more
conscientious
about
each
other,
and
if
we
do
that,
we'll
find
ourselves
making
the
the
type
of
City
the
Beloved
City
that
Dr
King
has
referenced
so
much
during
his
life.
I'm
so
proud
to
be
part
of
this
city.
I'm
so
proud
to
be
connected
to
this
body
through
friendships
and
deep
affiliations.

Mr
President
this
this
grant
is
mitigation
money
that
comes
through
the
bpda
from
development
that
happened
over
in
the
garden
and
Canal
Street,
but
it
the
cost
is.
This
is
a
grant
from
the
Boston
Planning
and
Development
Agency
for
cost
related
to
The
Pedestrian
Improvement
projects
on
Canal
Street
in
Thoreau
path,
as
well
as
bike
lane
connection
projects
between
Causeway,
Street
and
Commercial.

I've
received
emails
from
the
West
End
resident,
supporting
this
fund
funding
and
doing
the
Abundant

That's
occurred
over

thousand
dollars
in

State

awarded
by
the
United

Department
of
Transportation,
passed
through
the
mass
Executive
Office
of
Public,
Safety
and
Security
to
be
administered
by
the
police

The
grant
will
fund

Talking
of
a
1523
message
and
not
authorizing
the
city
of
Boston
to
accept
and

the
amount
of
ninety
thousand
dollars
in
the
form
of
a
grant
for

pilot
projects
awarded
by
the
United
States
Department
of
Agriculture
natural
resources,
conservation
to
be
administered
by
the
public
works
department.
The
grant
will
fund
the
planning
process
for
a
permitted
site
in
the
city
of
Boston,
with
the
capacity
to
accept
food
scraps
and
soiled
paper.
G
G
The
trick
is
that
we
are
actually
even
just
with
our
10
000,
basically
taking
up
the
compost,
processing
capacity
of
the
region
right
now
and
so
for
Boston
to
really
expand
this
program
to
be
a
universal
thing.
We
need
to
create
more
of
that
capacity
to
process
food
waste.
It's
also
an
important
piece
of
the
puzzle
with
getting
food
waste
into
a
separate
stream
and
helping
with
our
rat
problem
that
we've
all
been
discussing.
G
So,
as
the
council
knows,
we
put
some
money
in
the
American
Rescue
plan
budget
for
creating
permanent
composting
and
digester
facilities
in
the
city
of
Boston,
but
we're
really
excited
that
to
supplement
that
this
grant
has
come
in
from
the
federal
government,
not
least
because
we
think
that
starting
to
partner
with
the
USDA
around
the
issue
could
help
us
get
further.
Federal
support
in
the
future
since
really
built
building
out
this
full
capacity
for
the
city
could
could
be
quite
a
sizable
undertaking.

of
the
ordinances

to

taken

meeting
of

C
C
H
This
docket
is
an
amended
draft
from
from
the
original
and
I
want
to
get
into
some
of
those
chain
changes.
One
of
those
changes
was
to
put
in
clearly
delineated
phases.
This
task
force
now
has
three
clearly
delineated
phases
of
work.
It
will
do
phase
one
being
research
and
document
the
city
of
Boston's
role
in
and
historical
ties
to
the
African
slave
trade
and
the
institution
and
Legacies
of
slavery.
Phase
two
will
make
final
sorry
phase.
H
Two
will
actually
assess
the
city
of
Boston's
actions
to
date
to
address
continued
impact,
impacts
of
enslavement
and
phase.
Three
will
make
final
recommendations
to
the
city
of
Boston
for
truth,
reconciliation
and
reparations,
addressing
the
city
of
Boston's
involvement
with
the
African
slave
trade
and
to
answer
some
of
the
things
that
have
come
up.
H
H
All
of
this
is
clearly
delineated
to
take
no
longer
than
two
years
maximum
to
get
to
where
we
want
to
get
to
on
actual
proposals
to
the
city
for
reparation
or
reparations
for
the
harm
that
this
city
is
responsible
for
and
and
no
way
should
this
limit.
In
my
opinion,
actions
by
this
Council
itself
to
continue
to
advocate
for
the
alleviation
of
those
harms
and
other
measures
and
in
other
ordinances
and
hearings,
I
think
that
as
they
do
their
work,
we
should
continue
to
do
ours
and
I.
H
Legislation
at
the
municipal
level
has
a
direct
impact
on
racial
equity
and
Reconciliation
of
black
bostonians,
and
today,
Boston
has
the
opportunity
to
join
a
growing
group
of
cities,
Across
the
Nation
and
establishing
a
task
force
on
reparations
to
forge
the
pathways
towards
Justice
and
healing.
There's
a
need
for
the
city
of
Boston
to
reconcile
its
history
with
slavery
and
its
consequences
resulting
in
systemic
racism
and
discrimination,
and
I
believe
that
this
is
a
strong
First
Step
getting
there
and
ensuring
that
we
have
a
productive,
fully
tasked
fully
fully
functioning
task
force.
C
I
Earlier
in
the
year,
the
council
agreed
to
apologize
for
the
role
that
the
city
played
in
the
transatlantic
slave
trade.
This
was
a
powerful
moment
and
I
am
proud
that
the
council
voted
the
way
that
we
did,
but
as
powerful
as
that
was.
It
exists
in
the
realm
of
the
words
as
proud
as
profound
as
it
is,
it
doesn't
cost
anyone.
A
penny
jargon
is
well
and
good,
as
we
all
know
it
has
meaning,
but
it
doesn't
put
food
on
anyone's
table
or
pay
anyone's
rent
or
put
roof
on
anyone's
head
over
anyone's
head.
I
So
here
we
are.
This
is
the
next
step.
The
reparations
task
force
can
begin
the
process
of
taking
us
from
words
to
action.
No
one
entity,
including
the
mayor,
should
exercise
a
dominant
influence
over
it
in
terms
of
appointments,
I
sure,
but
specifically
it
should
belong
to
the
people.
The
task
force
needs
to
represent
various
elements,
including
Community
organizations
and
Civic
leaders
that
represent
the
masses
of
bostonians
and,
of
course,
all
based
in
best
practices.
You
know
that
we
are
a
rich
city
and
one
of
the
richest
in
the
country.
I
They
need
to
be
part
of
this
process,
and
truly
reparative
process
will
call
from
the
resources
that
these
institutions
have,
and
if
you
have,
if
you
are
wondering,
if
such
task
force
is
needed,
I
ask
you
to
think
of
the
chattel
slavery
that
existed
in
this
city.
I.
Ask
you
to
remember
of
Decades
of
legalized
segregation,
I
remind
you
of
the
redlining
that
limited
where,
where
black
people
in
our
city
could
live,
I
humbly.
Ask
that
you
recall
the
education
that
black
children
have
received
in
Boston
has
been
described
as
death
to
an
early
age.
I
I.
Ask
that
you
think
of
the
fact
that
while
we
have
some
of
the
greatest
hospitals
in
the
world,
the
healthcare
experiences
of
the
masses
of
black
people
have
been
described
as
Medical
Apartheid
I
submit
that
predominantly
black
Roxbury
has
the
highest
percentage
of
people
making
less
than
15
000
per
year
and
the
lowest
percentage
of
people
making
more
than
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
per
year
in
the
city.
I
And
yes,
it's
an
off-quoted
stat,
but
it
reminds
true
that
the
average
black
family
in
Boston
has
a
net
worth
of
just
eight
bucks.
Some
will
argue
that
statistic
quite
sure:
it's
not
far
behind
compared
to
a
nearly
a
quarter
million
for
an
average
white
family.
So,
yes,
we
need
reparations
for
black
people
in
Boston,
for
people
directly
connected
to
these
Harms
and
before
we
can
get
the
reparations
we
need.
Evaporations
task
force
is
necessary,
therefore
I
humbly,
but
forcibly
request
that
you
vote
in
favor
of
the
reparations
task
force
in
our
city
I.
J
Oh
just
wanted
to
just
really
quickly
just
rise
in
gratitude
and
to
to
thank
Senator
Owens
for
having
the
insight
and
political
courage
to
lead
us
in
this
space,
where
we
are
today
into
Dr
Kamara,
for
leaning
in
working
alongside
our
office
and
event,
modestine
and
Tanisha
Sullivan
from
the
NAACP
who
first
introduced
this
concept
to
our
office
and
invited
us
to
participate
with
such
audacity
and
and
so
for
your
leadership
and
helping
us
get
to
this
place.
Thank
you.
J
I
also
want
to
thank
King,
Boston
NDC
and
the
countless
other
community,
Advocates
and
organizers,
who
have
been
sounding
the
alarm
for
repair
and
harm
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
I
want
to
thank
my
co-sponsors
for
standing
up
and
fighting
alongside
us
to
get
to
this
place.
Thank
you
and
to
the
administration.
J
Y'all
know
I'm
not
easy
to
deal
with,
but
when
I
like
to
fight
I,
dig
my
heels
in
because
I
know
when
you
fight
the
good
fight,
we
all
win.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
the
administration
for
going
back
and
forth
with
us
so
that
we
can
land
in
a
place
that
was
going
to
affirm
the
people
that
we
are
fighting
for.
So
thank
you
to
Mayor
Wu
for
having
the
political
courage
to
step
into
that
power
and
create
space
for
that
to
happen.
J
And,
lastly,
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
embarking
on
this
journey
with
us
and
to
counselor
Bach
in
particular,
who,
when
we
first
introduced
this
hearing
order
when
it
wasn't,
the
aventatious
thing
to
do,
did
so
and
stood
alongside
us.
So
thank
you,
counselor
Bach,
for
joining
us
on
this
journey
as
well
in
Council
Louisiana,
who
held
it
down
during
the
working
sessions
and
really
helped
us
understand
and
Define
language
that
was
going
to
pass
legal
muster
in
the
early
stages.
J
J
If
we
are
seen
validated
and
heard
and
acknowledging
it
so
I
hope,
as
this
task
force
is
created,
that
we
do
so
with
the
best
intentions
in
rooted
in
what
this
moment
calls
for
for
us
to
have
the
political
courage
and
will
to
finally
right
the
wrong.
So
thank
you
to
all
of
those
who
joined
us
and
I
hope
that
my
colleagues
will
recognize
that
this
is
just
the
beginning
of
the
conversation,
not
the
conclusion.
So
thank
you
very
much.
K
Have
the
full
thank
you,
president
Flynn,
and
thank
you
to
my
co-sponsors
councilman
here.
Thank
you
for
giving
all
those
thank
yous
that
really
heartfelt
and
thank
you
to
councilor
Anderson.
My
other
co-sponsor
I
also
like
to
thank
all
The
Advocates
that
we
see
here
who
are
continuously
fighting
for
equity
and
corrective
action
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
Dr
Kamara,
Mr,
Winbush,
Miss
modestine,
whoever
Kevin
Peterson
King,
Boston,
NDC,
NAACP,
Embrace
Boston.
K
Thank
you
for
all
your
work
in
advance
and
Equity
I
also
want
to
acknowledge,
as
we've
heard,
that
showed
us
that
we
all
stand
on
and
pay
homage
to
our
Senator
Owens
AKA
The
Godfather
I
stand
in
support
of
this
Monumental
and
long
overdue
ordinance
that
will
start
the
process
of
dismantling
systemic
oppression
and
putting
in
place
old,
Investments
to
Forever
change.
The
direct
trajectory
of
black
people
here
in
Boston
for
hundreds
of
years
and
variety
of
different
forms.
K
Stomach
depression
has
taken
shape
in
every
area
of
public
policy,
slavery,
Jim,
Crow
laws,
busting
urban
renewal,
Redline
and
blockbusting.
It's
reflected
we've
seen
this
play
out
in
the
budget
from
every
report
in
every
Department
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
This
is
not
news
to
anyone
here
in
this
room
or
on
this
Council
in
Generations
have
sacrificed
and
fought
for
a
future
free
of
systemic
oppression,
and
it's
past
time
that
our
government
acts
to
mitigate
past
harms
and
prevent
future
policies.
Voting
then
he's
rooted
in
these
inequities
reparation
in
my
mind.
K
It
just
is
not
a
one-time
payment,
it's
not
just
about
our
capital
budget
allocations
or
funding
the
programs,
but
it's
a
more
holistic
approach
to
right
past
wrongs
and
ensure
a
brighter
future
for
generations
of
black
bostonians.
It's
institutional
change
that
is
rooted
in
data
corrective
action,
intentionality
and
urgency.
We
often
hear
about
Boston's
role
in
making
making
of
U.S
history
and
as
a
black
man
and
a
lot
lifelong
Bostonian
who
has
seen
this
these
disparities
play
out
every
day.
K
It
is
my
dream
to
help
our
city
fulfill
the
promises
of
life,
liberty
and
the
pursuit
of
happiness
for
all
and
to
fulfill
this
promise
of
our
city
and
Country
to
every
resident,
so
I'm,
hoping
that
everyone
on
this
Council
votes
in
favor
of
this
initiative
and
single
to
the
rest
rest
of
the
country.
That
Boston
will
continue
to
fight
for
racial
Equity.
Thank.
C
L
Thank
you
and
I:
don't
want
to
take
up
much
time.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
sponsors
and
I
also
want
to
Echo
the
thanks
to
Senator
Bill
Owens,
who
really
spearheaded
this
conversation
here
decades
ago,
and
to
acknowledge
the
many
people
who
have
been
working
towards
reparations
just
both
here
in
the
city
and
across
the
country
as
a
city.
Councilor
I'm,
proud
of
our
city
for
coming
to
this
point.
L
M
M
I
think
that
there
was
a
lot
a
lot
of
Blood,
Sweat
and
Tears
that
were
put
into
making
this
happen,
not
just
for
the
city
of
Boston,
but
for
all
of
the
countless
cities
across
the
country
who
have
also
taken
on
this
work,
and
so
again,
although
we
are
not
leaders,
I'm
really
excited
to
say
that
the
city
of
Boston
is
going
to
take
this
on.
I
have
every
intention
of
voting
to
support
it
and
I
hope
that
my
Council
colleagues
would
do
the
same.
Thank
you,
president.
Thank.
G
But
thank
you
so
much
Mr,
President
I'll,
be
very
brief.
I
just
I
do
want
to
thank
all
of
the
folks
who
have
worked
for
so
many
years
so
many
decades
on
this
front
and
give
a
particular
shout
out
to
councilor
Mejia
just
because
when
we
did
introduce
that
hearing
order
together,
it
was
for
a
conversation
and
I
think
it's
so
important.
G
This
absolutely
has
to
be
a
conversation,
but
it
needs
to
be
a
process
that
yields
real
things
and,
and
we
need
to
have
the
folks
who
are
The
Descendants,
a
Slave
at
the
heart
of
it,
and
that
meant
coming
up
with
a
process
that
would
get
it
off
the
council
floor
and
like
into
that
really
robust,
well-supported
Community
conversation
and
so
I'm
really
glad
that
this
went
from
being
just
a
hearing
order
to
to
this
filing
today
and
we'll
be
pleased
to
support
it.
Thank
you,
Mr
President
thank.
F
You
because
the
president
I
will
be
voting
in
favor
of
the
of
the
task
force
here
today,
which
is
a
couple
of
stats
in
1783,
and
this
comes
from
an
op-ed
in
the
Bay
State
bana
1783,
the
the
state
of
Massachusetts
made
slavery
illegal.
The
city
of
Boston
was
not
Incorporated
until
1822
and
the
1790
census
had
no
slaves
living
in
Massachusetts.
So
just
a
couple
points
I
will
be.
I
will
be
voting
in
favor
of
the
task
force,
so
if
it
provides
hailing
for
communities
and
that's
what
I'm
about.

C
G
It
is
a
sort
of
continuation
of
the
pattern
contract
that
we've
seen.
So
the
pattern
is
it's
a
two
percent
1.5
percent,
two
percent
increases
over
three
years.
These,
as
counselors
will
remember,
are
contracts
that
actually
go
back
to
2020,
so
most
of
these
contracts
will
actually
start
to
lapse
again
in
2023
and
one
of
the
things
that
the
counselors
who
join
me
at
the
hearing,
president
Flynn
and
councilor
Murphy
and
I
all
stressed-
was
the
hope
that,
especially
in
this
context,
rampant
inflation
and
a
really
hard
cost
of
living
for
our
city
workers.
G
That,
as
the
city
looks
to
kind
of
the
next
round
of
contracts,
well,
there
are.
There
are
reasons
for
the
for
us
to
sort
of
complete
the
pattern
to
be
fair
across
all
city
workers.
That
now,
as
we
get
to
the
next
round
of
contracts,
that
we're
able
to
do
more
substantial
increases
paired
with
more
substantive
reforms,
because
I
think
we
all
see
that
those
numbers
in
in
light
of
the
current
inflation
are
a
bit
low.
G
These
folks
will
also
get
the
one-time
lump
sum.
One
thousand
dollars
that
have
been
going
to
a
lot
of
the
civilian
union
workers
in
recognition
of
their
work
during
covet
19.,
there's
an
adjustment
to
the
way
that
the
city
supports
the
amount
the
city
supports,
MBTA
passes
and
the
free
blue
bikes
membership.
All
in
the
employees,
favor
Juneteenth
is
formally
added
to
the
contract.
G
So
continuation
is
the
pattern
and
obviously,
as
folks
know,
this
Council
vote
is
required
in
order
for
people
to
get
their
retroactive
pay
going
back
to
2020.
So
the
reason
that
we
rushed
it
through
was
that
you
know
we
would
really
like
Finance
to
be
able
to
be
getting
people
those
checks
and
having
it
come
as
a
as
a
a
nice
thing
for
the
holidays,
so
in
recognition
of
that
Mr
President
I
would
ask
that
all
four
of
these
dockets
be
approved
today.
Thank
you.

I
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
the
city
of
Boston
municipal
Security
offices,
the
incredible
role
they
play.
It's
the
most
diverse
City
Union
in
in
Boston.
They
were
also
up
for
contract
negotiation
and
they're,
probably
one
of
the
lowest
paid
unions
as
well.
So
it's
important
that
we
treat
all
of
our
city
workers
with
respect,
but
these
City
work
is
also
again
the
most
diverse
Union
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Our
security
Municipal
Police
staff
security
staff
deserve
to
be
treated
with
dignity
and
respect.
Thank
you,
Mr

L
Information
gathered
at
the
hearing.
The
administration
panel,
specifically
Moya
director
Nguyen,
spoke
about
the
work
of
Moya
in
promoting
and
recognizing
the
contributions
of
immigrants
to
our
city
and
how
they
would
be
integral
in
ensuring
that
our
immigrants
with
legal
status
would
know
of
their
voting
rights
because
of
the
deep
Partnerships
Moya
has
with
Community
organizations
who
have
already
been
doing
this
work
of
organizing
immigrant
communities
around
voting
rights.
L
The
city
council
should
consider
when
thinking
about
restoring
non-citizen
voting
rights,
The
Advocate
panel,
specifically
Jacob
love
staff
attorney
for
lawyers
for
civil
rights,
discussed
with
with
the
committee.
The
legal
bears
and
challenges
in
implementing
of
voting
rights
for
non-citizens,
but
also
talked
about
how
other
states
and
the
cities
have
approached
the
issue
of
restoring
Municipal
voting
rights
to
immigrants,
with
legal
status.
L
Professor
Kaiser
from
the
Harvey
Kennedy
School
in
informed
the
committee
about
the
history
of
voting
by
non-citizens
and
its
relative
compliance
among
states
in
the
in
the
19th
and
early
20th
century,
including
nonsense
in
voting
in
some
federal
elections
up
until
1996.
So
this
is
not
a
foreign
idea
by
any
means.
L
The
committee
also
heard
testimony
from
Shanique
Spalding
of
the
mass
voters
table
on
issues,
including
the
work
that
they
do
with
Community
groups
on
advocacy,
around
restoring
Municipal
voting
rights
and
doing
simulations
with
immigrant
groups
and
members
about
what
it
would
be
like
to
vote
in
the
process
of
actually
voting.
Overall,
the
committee
discussed
how
legal
voting
rights
for
non-citizens
would
be
a
significant
Boon
to
our
communities,
who
are
already
tax,
paying
members
who
participate
in
our
Civic
life.
L
The
committee
discussed
what
the
best
process
is
for
passing
nonsense
and
voting
rights
bill
would
be
and
what
the
challenges
would
be
for
implementation.
We
on
this
body
every
day,
not
every
day
but
very
often
set
legislative
ordinance
and
non-citizens
have
no
ability
to
elect
Us
in
making
those
laws.
That
exclusion
is
a
fundamental
deprivation
of
immigrants,
with
legal
status
from
our
process
and
their
own
right
to
self-determination.
We
on
this
body
have
the
ability
to
correct
for
that,
and
we
should
that
is
the
work
of
equity.

D
M
You,
president
Flynn,
we
held
a
hearing
on
the
need
for
a
text
Amendment
to
the
Boston
zoning
code
regarding
specifically
article
91
that
has
been
in
draft
form
for
several
years
now.
In
this
hearing,
we
specifically
explored
the
idea
of
Transit
oriented
displacement,
Zone
overlay
in
the
city's
code.
I,
let
me
see,
excuse
me.
Let
me
pull
up
my
notes,
so
I
can
thank
the
proper
people.
M
Ultimately,
we
asked
the
administration
if
there
what
the
administration
shared
with
us
is
that
any
aspect
of
the
zoning
code
can
be
appealed
versus
using
an
ordinance,
and
so
we
had
some
technical
conversation
about
where
article
91
would
go,
but
article
91
ultimately
aims
to
create
a
special
overlay
District
in
transit
corridors.
That
would
help
and
support
us
in
slowing
down
displacement
in
these
neighborhoods.
M
C
N
You
so
much
president
Flynn
I
want
to
thank
the
maker
and
my
co-sponsor
Council
Lauer
for
for
her
work
in
this.
It
was
an
incredibly
informative
hearing
and
I
I
am
going
to
use
the
words
of
Lydia
Lowe,
who
said
it's
never
too
late
to
keep
fighting
East
Boston
I
use.
The
term
yesterday
has
been
decimated
by
displacement
due
to
gentrification,
and
so
we
really
see
this
as
an
opportunity
to
plan
for
the
inclusion
of
folks
along
Transit
corridors
and
to
help
them
grow
their
economic
Prosperity.
N
C
D
C
J
Thank
you,
Mr
President
and
earlier
I
wanted
to
have
one
more
comment
in
regards
to
the
respirations
task
force
to
thank
my
colleague,
councilor
arthroyo.
We
spent
many
nights
and
weekends
going
back
and
forth
with
the
administration
and
your
hard
work
is
deeply
appreciated,
but
it
with
my
nerves,
I
forgot
to
uplift,
you
and
I,
wanted
to
acknowledge
you
publicly.
It
was
not
an
easy
fight
that
you
stood
alongside
us
to
make
it
happen.
So
thank
you.
J
J
This
mattered
was
sponsored
by
myself
and
councilor
Lara
panel
one
can
consisted
of
parents,
grandparents,
a
BPS
students
and
Advocates.
As
always,
you
know
I
like
to
lead
with
the
people.
First,
so
was
really
excited
to
have
Megan
wolf
who's,
a
member
of
quest
which
stands
for
Quality
education
for
every
student,
Ruby
Reyes
who's,
the
director
of
beija
Edith
Brazil,
was
unable
to
participate,
but
was
definitely
her
voice
was
heard.
J
Allison
Friedman
who's,
a
member
of
the
School
parent
council
at
the
Sumner
Elementary
Brenda
Ramsey,
a
parent
leader
at
the
Shaw
Elementary
Entry
School
and
John
Mudd,
a
board
member
of
the
Boston
Network
for
black
student
achievement
we
discussed
and
who
discussed
and
shared
a
commitment
to
equity
and
belief
that
all
students
should
have
access
to
high
quality
facilities.
We
also
discussed
the
green
New
Deal
coalition,
which
was
made
up
of
parents
Educators
and
Community
groups
working
together
since
2018
regarding
facility
decisions
and
BPS.
J
Testimony
was
taken
from
Administration
panel,
including
Rebecca
Granger,
who
is
the
new
senior
advisor
for
Youth
and
schools
within
the
new
Boston's
children's
cabinet
for
the
mayor's
office
and
from
BPS
we
had
Charles
grandson
who's,
the
chief
of
equity
and
strategy
officer,
Sam
depina,
the
deputy
of
superintendent
of
operations,
Miriam
Ortiz,
the
director
of
community
engagement,
Ethan,
Burns
assistant,
superintendent
of
inclusion
and
education.
It
is
clear
from
yesterday's
hearing
that
parents
want
authentic
public
analysis
of
the
green
New
Deals
impact
overall
and
broken
down.
J
What
I
will
say
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
call
this
hearing
to
order
was
because
Barbara
Fields.
If
those
who
don't
know
her,
is
a
fierce
advocate
in
the
education
space
reached
out
to
our
office
and
said,
we
need
to
get
a
better
handle
of
how
BPS
is
moving
as
it
relates
to
the
green
New,
Deal
and,
while
I
do
appreciate
the
administration's
attempt
in
the
Boston
Public
School
attempt
to
do
real,
meaningful,
Community
engagement,
having
participated
in
a
number
of
different
forums.
J
We
still
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
when
we're
talking
about
creating
space
for
people
to
be
heard,
and
so
some
of
the
recommendations
that
I
have
made
is
to
get
out
of
the
zoom
room
and
to
get
out
into
spaces
where
we're
asking
people
to
show
up
and
to
actually
go
into
the
streets.
We
have
people
who
are
sitting
in
hair
salons,
getting
their
hair
done
and
barber
shops
and
nail
salons
and
laundry
mats.
J
There
are
spaces
and
places
that
are
impacted
by
the
decisions
that
we're
making
but
they're
not
being
called
into
the
space,
so
I'm
asking
BPS
to
get
out
of
their
comfort
zone
and
into
the
streets
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
all
parents
are
participating
in
these
processes
and
have
a
real
way
of
engaging
I.
Do
look
forward
to
keeping
this
in
committee
and
creating
a
space
for
for
the
council
to
really
lean
into
it.
J
I
also
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
who
participated
in
the
hearing:
counselor
Louis,
zhen,
counciloral,
counselor,
Braden
and
counselor
Kenzie,
Bach
and
counselor
Flynn.
I
also
want
to
note
that
my
colleague
and
co-sponsor
councilada
was
unable
to
join
me,
but
was
definitely
there
in
spirit
fighting
a
cold,
but
I
know
that
she
is
holding
it
down
and
really
leaning
into
to
this
work
and
I
just
want
to
quickly
just
apologize,
because
yesterday
was
my
daughter's
mock
trial
at
moakley
court
and
I
needed
to
be
out
of
here
exactly
at
five.
J
C
N
N
Thank
you
so
much
and
I
love
the
fact
that
this
is
a
restorative
day
from
many
Boston
residents
we're
doing
decades
and
even
hundreds
of
years
of
harm,
and
this
amendment
to
the
gender
and
inclusive
ordinance
seeks
to
undo
the
harm
created
in
this
building,
and
it
was
first
championed
by
then
councilor
now,
mayor,
Michelle,
Wu
and
councilor
Braden.
So
I
wanted
to
thank
councilor
Braden
for
her
leadership
on
this
on
this
issue.
N
My
Amendment
to
this
ordinance
is
simple,
but
its
codification
will
ensure
we
are
truly
fostering
a
welcoming
and
inclusive
workplace
for
everybody
in
the
city
of
Boston
in
2020.
This
body
requires
that
all
city,
employees,
form
or
city
employment
forms
gave
the
opportunity
for
our
trans
siblings
to
self-identify,
which
was
a
huge
jump
in
progress.
Given
this
momentous
change
as
it
currently
stands,
there
is
no
opportunity
for
folks
to
choose
preference
over
their
chosen
name
in
addition
to
providing
their
legal
name
or,
as
it's
called
in
the
trans
Community
their
dead
name.
N
This
results
in
an
undignified
process
where
a
new
city
employee
has
to
change
their
their
email
address
and
go
through
a
whole
rigmar
role
to
ensure
that
their
chosen
name
is
utilized
and
is
in
the
directory
of
the
city
of
Boston.
It's
a
constant
reminder
that
we
as
a
city
are
not
prioritizing
their
needs,
as
we
should
be,
and
I
was
pleased
in
my
conversations
after
I
had
brought
this
to
the
floor
about
two
weeks
ago.
In
my
conversations
with
the
chief
chief
of
equity,
Chief
people
officer,
I,
think
I
got
her
title
right.
N
Apologies
if
I
did
not
chief
of
information
and
the
director
of
the
lgbtq
advancement
office
that
they
have
identified
this
as
an
issue
and
have
been
working
diligently
behind
the
scenes
to
correct
it
and
I
do
appreciate
their
intentionality
to
get
it
right
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
trans
colleagues
and
to
ensure
our
technology
systems
are
equipped
to
take
this
on.
This
amendment
simply
codifies
Our
obligation
to
truly
be
inclusive
across
all
City
departments,
including
in
the
council
and
as
Council
Lara
brought
up
to
me
in
BPS
and
other
City
departments.
M
Thank
you,
president
Flynn.
Thank
you,
councilor
Coletta,
for
moving
this
forward.
A
couple
of
weeks
ago,
when
counselor
Coletta
spoke
on
the
floor
about
the
issues
that
her
staffer
was
having
in
using
their
chosen
name
on
the
city
council,
I
called
counselor
Coletta
immediately
after
the
meeting,
because
I
was
actively
working
on
a
constituent
issue.
One
of
my
constituents
was
an
incoming
BPS
teacher
and
was
being
forced
to
use
their
dead
name
on
the
publicly
the
publicly
visible
grading
program
that
Boston
Public
Schools
uses.
M
Now
we
were
able
to
correct
this
issue
through
a
lot
of
back
and
forth
conversation,
but
what
we
found
is
that
there
was
a
necessity
for
real
systemic
change,
but
also
for
the
city
of
Boston
to
be
more
prescriptive
in
the
implementation
of
this
policy,
and
so
the
change
to
this
ordinance
was
born.
I
have
little
to
add
to
counselor
Colette's
remarks.
C
L
You
Mr
President
I,
want
to
thank
the
lead,
sponsor
and
also
co-sponsor
councilor,
Coletta
and
councilada
for
including
me
on
this
language,
as
we
know,
is
an
important
and
can
be
a
powerful
driver
of
representation
and
what
inclusion
looks
like
in
our
city
or
it
can
be
a
powerful
driver
of
harm,
harmful
stereotypes
and
exclusion
depending
on
how
we
use
it,
and
so
we
should
always
be
thinking
as
a
city
of
how
do
we
invite
more
people
in
both.
If
that's
on
our
legal
forms
and
documents,
it's.
L
If
that's
you
know
providing
shelter,
we
should
always
think
about
how
what
we're
doing
to
make
Boston
feel
as
welcoming
as
it
should
be
to
everyone.
The
lgbtq
plus
Community
continues
to
face
marginalization
and
discrimination
and
violence,
especially
towards
trans
and
gender
non-conforming.
Folks,
we've
seen
that
with
Club
Q
in
Colorado
Springs.
We
saw
the
threats
to
Children's
Hospital
here,
vandalism
at
the
pride
in
High
Park,
and
so
we
have
to
speak
with
a
clear
and
singular
voice
about
what
we
wouldn't
tolerate
and
about
the
the
the
lanes
we
will
go
to
make.
L
Everyone
feel
that
this
is
a
city
that
that
loves
them
and
cares
about
them,
and
that
happens.
We
can
do
that
here
on
the
city
council.
Research
shows
that
gender,
inclusive,
pronouns
and
language
reduces
bias
and
promotes
healthy
and
positive
societal
views.
We
as
a
city
have
an
obligation
to
ensure
that
language
used
on
City
forms
doesn't
discriminate
by
sex,
social,
gender
or
gender
identity.
L
We
we
cannot
perpetuate
gender
stereotypes,
but
rather
we
need
to
reflect
the
beautiful
diversity
of
all
the
residents
and
families
and
all
the
people
that
we
are
so
lucky
to
work
with
here
on
the
city
council.
So
this
is
a
small
but
important
update
to
our
code.
That
will
help
enshrine
and
codify
those
protections.
So
again,
I
think
the
sponsor
and
I
think
you
know
everyone
here
on
the
city
council
who
hopefully
will
be
voting
with
us
to
suspend
and
pass.
Thank
you.
C
I
Thank
you,
president
Flynn.
Thank
you
to
the
original
sponsors
on
this
Casa
Clara,
Lara
and
lujin.
I,
of
course,
support
the
offer
put
forth
by
the
counselors
and
anything
that
we
can
do
to
create
a
more
gender
inclusive
environment
is
something
that
I
will
heartily
support.
I
think
that
just
we're
just
outdated
and
life
is
a
journey
and
to
move
forward
and
to
grow
and
to
evolve.
We
must
be
more
inclusive.
I
speak
about
my
only
parent
who
was
my
15
year
old
Uncle.
I
I
would
cry
with
him
on
the
phone
for
hours,
understanding
that
this
was
something
that
I
couldn't
do
anything
about
at
the
time
my
uncle
later
got
killed
by
a
drunk
driver
and
to
this
day,
when
I
stand
up
and
celebrate,
I
will
do
that
courageously
to
fight
for
the
lgbtq
AI
plus
Community,
without
any
apologies,
without
any
stereotypes
or
ignorances
about
what
my
religion
or
what
my
beliefs
believes
or
stands
for,
that
we
should
be
tolerant
and
all-inclusive
and
not
primitive
and
not
abusive
towards
others.
Basically,
who
gives
a
crap
like
just
that?
I
C
O
You
Mr
President
I,
want
to
thank
councilor
Coletta
for
bringing
this
ordinance
Amendment
forward
as
an
original
co-sponsor
with
mayor
Wu
councilor,
as
it
was
at
the
time,
I'm
very
happy
to
support
this
amendment.
It's
really
really
critically
important,
and
it
was
an
oversight
in
in
that
previous
ordinance
that
this
issue
was
not
addressed
and
adequately
corrected
at
the
time.
So
I'm
very
happy
to
support
this.
This
amendment,
to
ensure
the
gender
identity
is,
is
recognized
and
that
we
see
our
folks
in
the
trans
community
and
gender.
O
G
Think
it's
one
of
those
things
that,
like
this,
this
kind
of
systems
problem
can
be
referred
to
as
sort
of
like
Thoughtless
and
an
oversight,
but
it
has
very
like
cruel
impacts
on
people
and
it's
the
kind
of
sort
of
undercutting
of
folks
identity
that
we
should
be
avoiding
stamping
out
wherever
we
can
so
I
hope,
I'm,
really
glad
we're
going
to
do
it
today.
I'm
definitely
planning
to
vote
in
the
affirmative,
but
I
also
hope
that
it
will
be
taken
as
a
model
by
other
folks
in
the
city
and
Beyond.
So
thank
you.
C
H
I
also
want
to
make
clear
that,
as
the
chair
of
an
Ops
I
support,
the
suspension
and
passage
of
this
today,
I
think.
Normally.
This
would
come
to
my
committee
and
then
we
would
have
a
working
session.
A
hearing
but
I
think
where
this
has
already
been
sort
of
precedent
has
already
been
set
through
the
legislation
that
was
pushed
forward
by
Council,
Braden
and
others
in
the
past.
H
C
J
You
know,
our
kids
are
always
looking
to
us
to
see
how
we
show
up
in
this
world
and
how
we
validate
or
don't
and
I
and
I-
think
these
little
small
gestures
mean
so
much
to
people
who
have
gone
for
so
long
unseen
and
unheard,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say.
Thank
you,
because
these
moments
require
political
courage
and
oftentimes.
Both
fall
short
of
doing
that,
and
so
so
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
I
just
wanted
to
rise
and
say
I'm
here
for
all
of
it.
Thank
you.
C
The
eyes
have
it:
the
document
has
passed,
Mr
clerk
could
I
revisit
that
ask
if
anyone
wants
to
be
a
original
sponsor
I'm
going
to
go
back.
If
anyone
like
to
be
a
co-sponsor,
please
raise
your
hand
I
apologize
to
my
colleagues
Mr
clerk.
Please
add:
council
of
Royo
councilor
Bach
Council,
Braden,
councilor,
Fernandez,
Anderson,
Council
of
Flaherty,
Council,
Mejia,
Council,
Murphy,
Council
or
I'll.
Please
add
the
chair
yeah.

He
is
a
lifelong
resident
of
the
city
and
currently
is
my
constituent
in
West,
Roxbury
he's
worked
in
his
family
construction
business
and
has
currently,
and
for
the
past
decade,
been
a
public
safety
officer
at
the
Boston
Public
Health
commission,
and
so
he
currently
is
a
city
of
Boston
employee.
He
is
dedicated
to
duty,
something
that
he
picked
up
as
a
naval
Cadet
in
high
school,
and
it's
one
of
the
primary
drivers
for
him
wanting
to
join
the
police
academy.
M
C
Thank
you,
Council
Lara
is
anyone
else
hoping
to
speak
on
this
matter
or
their
name.
Please
raise
your
hand
Mr

Can
you
please
add
Council

Council

councilman,
here,

we're
all
pleased
at
the
chair,
Council
Council

seeking
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
Dr

All
those
in
favor
say
aye.
A
O
C
C
C
The
office
continues
that
same
important
work
of
assisting
and
strengthening
the
ability
of
immigrants
and
their
family
to
fully
inequitably
participate
in
aspects
of
Boston's
life.
This
is
an
exceptional
office
that
does
an
exceptional
work
and
I
know.
My
colleagues
over
the
over
the
years
have
always
advocated
for
this
department
during
budget
season
to
make
sure
that
this
office
has
the
funds
they
need
to
do
their
job.
C
So,
on
behalf
of
my
college,
I
want
to
recognize
the
crucial
work
that
these
city
employees,
these
dedicated
city
employees,
play
and
to
celebrate
those
who
have
been
part
of
the
creation
and
the
continued
success
of
this
office.
I
hope
we
can
adopt
this
resolution
today
and
I
know.
There's
a
small
celebration
on
Friday
evening
at
on
the
third
floor
of
people
are
interested
I
believe
it's
at
five
o'clock
or
5
30..
L
Thank
you,
Council
councilor
Braden,
and
thank
you
president
for
adding
me
the
35th
to
celebrate
the
35th
anniversary
of
the
office
of
immigrant
advancement.
It's
a
testament
to
the
city
to
former
mayor
Flynn
and
the
immigrants
who
really
helped
found
and
advocate
for
the
Immigrant
rights
unit.
Well,
what
we
now
know
is
memorial.
We
know
that
immigrants
then,
just
as
now
are
helping
to
build
our
city.
We
wouldn't
have
Boston
without
the
rich
diversity
that
our
immigrant
communities
contribute
to.
L
We
really
depend
on
Moya
to
help
bring
our
immigrant
communities
into
the
City
and,
and
let
know
that
we
welcome
them
today,
Moya
Works
highly,
to
help
give
opportunities
for
immigrants
to
learn
English
for
their
business
fight
for
status
and
meaningfully
participate
in
their
Community.
We've
seen
Moya
participate
in
support
of
this
week.
L
When
the
hearing
sponsored
about
councilada
for
restoring
the
rights
of
immigrants
with
legal
status
to
vote-
and
we
saw
it
last
week
when
they
were
on
the
hearing
on
helping
to
support
migrant
communities,
we
know
that
Moya
is
really
centered
in
the
work
and
I
just
want
to
congratulate
them
in
really
doing
so.
In
light
of
again,
the
rampant
xenophobia
that
we
often
see,
which
is
is
you
know
during
the
season,
is
especially
difficult
for
me
to
digest
when
we
think
about
the
holiday
season,
and
we
think
about
for
those
who
celebrate.
L
You
know
Christmas
thinking
about
Jesus's
own
plight
as
a
refugee,
seeking
shelter
in
shelter
and
refuge
in
Egypt,
with
his
parents
and
so
I,
just
I'm,
looking
forward
to
furthering
support
to
further
support
the
work
of
Moya
during
the
budget
season,
because
they
try
to
do
so
much
for
so
many
of
our
neighbors
and
I'm,
proud
of
the
work
that
they've
done.
I
will
be
there
with
you,
Mr
President.
L
A
I
I
Without
a
green
card,
I
arrived
at
the
age
of
10
and
quickly
learned
how
to
obtain
whatever
I,
whatever
I
obtained,
to
get
a
job
and
I
did
that
at
the
age
of
13,
and
so
I
often
try
just
to
now
I'm
trying
to
limit
how
much
I
speak
or
what
I
get
up
to
speak.
So
we
can
save
time,
but
then
I
realize
I
started
getting
some
calls
on
this
issue
and
emails
and
messages.
Hey.
Aren't
you
weren't,
you
formally
undocumented?
Why
weren't
you
that
the
hearing?
I
Why
aren't
you
saying
anything
and
I
know
that
some
of
my
Council
colleagues
share
the
same
experience
but
I
also
get
some
mail
go
back
to
your
country?
You
guys
heard
the
message.
I
played
I'm
here
in
the
chamber,
a
lot
of
xenophobia,
but
also
I'm,
not
only
the
the
president,
but
I
am
a
client
no
I'm
kidding,
but
I
I
also
am
Muslim,
so
I
have
subcategories
of
subcategories
to
my
identity
and
I
and
I
underestimate.
I
Sometimes
how
much
it
means
for
people
like
myself,
who
are
sitting
at
home
watching
so
I
stand
up
to
say
the
first
time
that
I
got
up
here
to
speak.
Cape,
Verdean,
Creole
I
didn't
realize
the
impact
that
I
would
have
until
the
Staff
from
City
Hall
said
to
me.
That
is
the
first
time
I
heard
it.
You
brought
me
in
tears,
so
I'm
getting
up
to
say
it
is
highly
traumatic
to
live
in
a
country
that
you
don't
know.
You
don't
know
anyone
and
you're
trying
to
adapt.
I
You
come
from
Africa
from
severe
poverty
and
you
get
to
this
country
and
you're
a
kid.
But
you're
you
become
sort
of
the
caretaker
of
your
family
because
your
parents
or
your
mom
has
is
a
young
teen
mom
who
went
through
a
lot
and
then
you're
afraid
every
single
time
I
got
pulled
over
I,
remember
and
had
to
walk
home
with
my
then
one-year-old
in
the
middle
of
the
snow,
because
I
didn't
because
my
license
would
check
out
because
my
car
got
suspended.
It
might
got
taken
away.
I
I
remember
so
many
stories
like
this
that
I
can
share
that.
I
know
that
people
at
home
share
and
then
a
lot
of
people
with
their
xenophobic
views
would
say
well
what
the
heck
you
doing
in
this
country
like
go
back
or
we
shouldn't
be
paying
for
those
Services
I
didn't
qualify
for
food
stamps,
for
welfare,
for
housing,
for
any
aid
for
any
Services
I
ask
for
a
handout.
I
I
didn't
go
to
anybody
to
beg
for
anything,
not
that
I'm
above
that
that,
if
I
needed
to
that
God
willing
I
would
have
to
do
what
I
have
to
do.
But
I
lived
in
this
country
for
all
those
years
as
a
kid
all
the
way
growing
up
with
no
choice
to
be
here
and
did
that
and
suffered
and
yeah
you're
you're,
really
fearful
you're
driving
in
the
middle
of
the
cold
and
just
hoopty
to
go
to
work.
I
So
you
can
earn
money
to
pay
for
to
take
care
of
your
kid,
but
then
you're
getting
pulled
over
and
you're
afraid
of
immigration.
Every
hour
of
the
day,
I
just
I'm
gonna
shorten
that
and
just
say
that
I'm
very
thankful
for
the
office
of
immigrant
advancement,
but
also
looking
forward
to
hopefully
other
resolutions
and
I
just
want
to
appreciate
you
Council
Lujan,
because
I
know
that
you've
highly
focused
on
immigrant
issues
here
in
your
in
this
in
your
first
term
and
I,
really
appreciate
that
and
looking
forward
to
doing
more
work.
I
J
J
O
Thank
you,
Council
Louisiana
I
will
also
take
the
opportunity
to
say
I
am
an
immigrant
from
Northern
Ireland
I
I
have
a
very
different
experience
from
my
colleague,
counselor
Anderson
Fernandez
Anderson
I
came
here.
I
was
hired
to
come
over
and
work
at
Boston.
University
Hospital
then
became
Boston
Medical
Center,
but
in
my
journey
I've
come
across.
So
many
immigrants
in
my
work
as
a
physical
therapist
in
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
I,
have
a
incredible
respect
and
appreciation
for
the
work
of
the
office
of
immigrant
advancement
in
the
city.
O
O
O
C
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
Council
Braden,
as
you,
as
you
mentioned,
this
is
a
resolution
to
support
the
proposal
to
rename
the
McKinley
School,
which
is
which
is
in
my
district
from
the
McKinley
School
to
the
Melvin
H
King
South
End
Academy
is
a
there's,
a
group
of
residents
there's
a
group
of
BPS
students
that
are
involved
in
in
supporting
this
as
well.
C
C
C
It's
a
Housing
Development
that
provides
affordable
housing
to
hundreds
of
residents.
He
is
a
lifelong
resident
of
the
South
End,
Neighborhood
and
I
know.
It's
just
right
at
the
border
of
my
my
district
and
Council
Fernandez,
Anderson's
District,
as
well
as
I
mentioned,
he's
a
lifelong
resident
of
the
neighborhood.
He
founded
the
South
End
Technology
Center,
where
young
people
can
find
resources
on
technology.
Workforce,
Development,
Community,
Building,
he's
an
educator,
he's
a
he's,
an
athlete
he's
a
he's,
a
coach.
C
C
You
would
have
he
would
have
kind
of
open
open
house
and
anyone
that
could
would
want
to
stop
by
was
able
to
they'd
have
breakfast
for
people
and
you'd
sit
around
and
listen
to
listen
to
Mel,
but
also
kind
of
exchange,
ideas
with
him,
and
he
invited
everybody
in,
and
it
was
a
great
learning
opportunity
for
me,
but
I
know
other
people
in
government
as
well.
He
had
a.
C
He
has
a
wonderful
wife
as
well
in
a
family,
wonderful,
family,
I
hope
we
can
adopt
this
resolution
because
Mel
King
is
Holy
deserving
of
having
this
recognition
named
after
him
and
I
also
think
tonight.
The
Boston
school
school
committee
is
taking
this
up,
maybe
for
a
vote,
or
maybe
it's
a
week
later.
I
Thank
you,
Madam.
Thank
you,
council
president
Flynn
for
Adam
me
as
a
co-sponsor
Mel
King
is
a
true
Treasurer
to
Boston
he's
now
84
years
old,
having
been
born
in
1928.
To
put
that
in
perspective,
1928
is
the
year
before
the
Great
Depression
13
years
before
U.S
involvement
with
World
War
II
and
about
19
years
before
Jackie
Robinson,
integrated,
Major,
League
Baseball.
I
Shortly
after
this
in
1983
King
ran
for
mayor
as
a
contestant
to
then
mayor
are
Flynn
and
a
ray
Flynn
of
council
president's
father,
though
king
would
lose
the
two
of
them
rape,
mayor,
Ray,
Flynn
and
Mel
King,
then
partnered
and
did
a
civil
Campaign,
which
was
a
breath
of
fresh
air
amidst
all
of
the
racial
hostilities
that
had
arisen
in
the
city
after
the
busing
crisis.
So
we
don't
really
have
time
to
go
on
and,
as
we
know,
he
was
a
state
rep
as
well
winning
his
election
1973.
I
All
the
way
to
and
serving
to
1982
before
running
for
mayor
as
I
described
time
does
not
allow
me
to
recognize
all
of
his
accolades
I
deeply
love
and
respect
Mr
King
and
reiterate
the
support
in
renaming
the
McKinley
School
to
Mel
King,
or
apologies
as
the
Melvin
H
King
South
End
Academy.
Thank
you
again.
G
You
so
much
Madam,
chair
and
I
just
wanted
to
add
my
support.
The
McKinley
School
was
actually
spread
across
three
campuses.
Another
one
that
people
mainly
know
is
the
one
in
the
South
End.
Its
students
are
also
at
two
campuses
in
my
district
on
Peterborough
Street
and
on
St
Mary's
Street
in
Fenway,
so
really
I
just
wanted
to
State.
G
So
would
love
to
see
this
school
called
the
velman
age,
King
Southland
Academy,
and
you
know
we
all
had
a
great
dedication
of
the
square
right
near
Yarmouth
Street
for
Mr
King
a
lot
in
this
past
year
and
I-
think
that's
great,
but
I
think
he
is
a
man
who
deserves
many
honors
and
I
also
think
that
our
school
buildings
are
names
that
we
use
frequently
and
that
get
passed
down
through
the
generations
in
our
city,
and
so
this
would
be
a
very
fitting
honor.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you
so
much.
You
know,
Mel
King
is
sort
of
a
giant
to
me.
Someone
who,
when
I
was
growing
up
in
the
city
of
Boston,
was
in
rarified
air
in
the
ways
in
which
he
he
moved
and
maneuvered
and
as
councilor
box
says,
I
think
that
there's
really
a
number
of
different
ways
he
should
be
on
I
know
he
is
on
the
wall
of
Madison
Park,
as
he
should
be.
He
is
got
a
mural
in
the
South
End.
H
That
love
is
the
question,
and
love
is
the
answer
which
is
fitting
for
him.
He
has
a
number
of
things
and
I
stand
in
full
support
of
him
having
this
school
named
after
him
as
well
I'm
going
to
share
a
couple
things
before
I
give
thanks
to
him
again.
One
of
them
is
my.
My
personal
Mel
King
memory
that
has
always
stuck
with
me
was
the
breakfast
that
council
president
Flynn
raised
is
is
an
ongoing
tradition
for
him
and
I.
H
Remember
being
present
at
that,
when
I
was
about
13
years
old
and
while
the
adults
were
were
having
this
sort
of
meeting
of
the
minds
around
the
table,
I
was
going
through
his
books
and
he
had
a
book
there
on
Biko
Steve
Biko
from
South
Africa,
one
of
the
famous
Freedom
Fighters
there
against
apartheid
and
I.
Remember
reading
it
or
starting
to
read
it
while
they
were
having
this
meeting
and
asking
him.
If
I
could
borrow
this
book
and
I.
H
So
I
didn't
have
a
way
to
get
back
to
his
home
independently
and
so
I
had
this
book
for
years,
I
had
it
for
over
a
decade
and
I,
wouldn't
I
would
carry
it
with
me
everywhere.
I
went
and
my
my
stack
of
books,
because
I
remembered
him
telling
me
that
they
wouldn't
come
back
and
I'm
happy
to
report
that
I
gave
that
book
back
13
years
later.
H
Leadership
and
I
think
they
should
be
brought
into
this
space
because
his
impact
has
transcended
even
his
own
work,
but
into
the
work
of
others
and
how
folks
move
through
these
spaces,
including
myself
and
so
I'm.
Grateful
to
him
I'm
grateful
to
this
action
and
I'm
glad
that
we
are
doing
this
while
he
can
be
here
for
it.
I
think
often
we
name
things
after
people
pass
on
and
I've
always
hated
that
tradition,
because
folks
should
get
those
flowers
and
that
appreciation
and
that
recognition.
H
Now,
while
they
are
here
to
appreciate
it
and
so
I'm
grateful
that
this
process
has
not
waited
for
him
to
no
longer
be
with
us,
but
has
actually
moved
forward.
While
he
is
still
here
to
see
it
and
so
I'm
very
grateful
for
that
and
I'm
grateful
to
his
family
as
well,
who
have
given
so
much
to
the
city,
including
Mel
and
his
time
to
us
as
a
community
and
I
know.
H
The
impact
that
that
can
have
on
folks
and
I
know
that
they
have
done
very
well
to
understand
that
he's
not
just
their
father
and
a
treasure
to
them.
But
a
treasure
to
the
community
and
have
done
as
much
as
they
can
to
share
him
with
us
and
I
great
I.
Thank
them
greatly
for
their
staff,
sacrifice
and
I'm
glad
that
this
building
and
these
murals
and
whatever
other
ways
we
come
up
to
honor
him
will
last
throughout
time
for
those
family
members
and
their
descendants.
So
thank
you.
O
Thank
you,
Council

D

Thank
you,
Mr

I
am
going

seeking
suspension
and
passage
of
these
two
dockets.
Today
they
obviously
are
just
getting
in
now,
so
we
did
not
have
a
chance
to
have
a
hearing
on
them,
but
because
they
continue
the
long
established
pattern
that
we've
been
passing
in
because
again,
the
folks
have
been
waiting
a
long
time
on
retropay
would
have
to
wait
a
whole
other
month.
I
would
love
for
us
to
move
them
today.
It's
166
professional
staff
across
our
libraries
all
across
the
city.
Again,
the
wage
pattern
is
to
1.5
and

The

candidates
are
evaluated
together,

one
day,

I
recommend
that

C
C
B
Of
the
Fall
I
think
Mr

docket0921
is
an
ordinance
that
seeks
to
provide
transparency
and
oversight
of
the
acquisition
and
use
of
surveillance,
data
and
Technology
by
the
city
of
Boston.
All
stakeholders
were
brought
to
the
table,
including
the
appropriate
City
agencies
and
Community
Advocates,
and
all
worked
together
on
this
ordinance.
As
you
all
know,
and
I
trust,
you've
read
it's
800
pages
in
length.
Not
everyone
is,
is
completely
happy.
There
was
some
given
that
was
to
take.
B
B
So
we've
got
time
constraints
before
we
take
action,
and
it's
also
an
opportunity,
a
stepping
off
point
where
we'll
find
Opportunities
to
adjust
and
or
amend,
if
necessary,
in
the
future,
the
only
it's
further
furthest,
the
protection
of
privacy,
civil
rights
and
racial
and
immigrant
Justice,
while
allowing
for
the
delivery
of
city
services,
particularly
Public
Safety,
and
at
this
time
this
year,
moving
for
passage
of

Thank
you
Mr
President
thank.
C
J
I
didn't
see
that
side.
Sorry
counselor,
thank
you,
Mr
President,
I
I,
just
want
to,
for
the
record,
be
really
clear
that
my
vote
is
not
an
endorsement
of
said
reports
during
the
redistricting
process.
We
occupied
a
lot
of
time
and
energy,
so
I
have
not
had
a
chance
to
dive
into
it
and
I
do
believe.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
really
dive
a
little
bit
deeper
in
in
the
new
legislative
cycle.
J
So
while
I
appreciate
it
being
brought
up
for
a
vote
today
want
to
just
make
note
for
the
record
that
my
boat
is
not
a
reflection
of
my
endorsements
or
or
passage
and
support
of
it.
So
I
just
want
it
to
be
really
clear
that
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do,
particularly
in
the
government,
transparency
and
accountability,
piece
of
the
work
so
looking
forward
to
next
year
and
advocating
strongly
that
we
have
a
series
of
public
hearings
so
that
we
can
do
a
deeper
dive.
Thank
you.
C
I
Council
box,
if
you
want
to
go
first,
thank
you,
council
president,
so
I
just
I
do
I
also
want
to
go
on
record
I.
Think
it's
extremely
important
that
we
outline
the
issues
here.
Technology
such
as
shop
spotter
have
been
shown
to
be
notoriously
ineffective,
with
inaccuracy
rates
of
around
70
percent
sounds
like
firecrackers,
and
car
backfiring
are
likely
to
set
the
technology
off,
creating
a
diversion
of
Public
Safety
officers
where
they
are
needed,
aren't
needed.
This
is
costly
and
ineffective
technology.
I
I
believe
we
can
assume
that
the
technology
is
not
evenly
distributed
across
our
communities,
hence
likely
acting
as
a
Dragnet,
by
which
predominantly
black
and
brown
and
Working
Class
People
are
surveilled,
unnecessarily
enforced
into
interactions
with
police
that
do
not
stem
from
Criminal
Behavior,
as
demonstrated
by
the
inaccuracy
rates
of
the
technology
law
enforcement
has
not
reported
much
in
the
way
of
this
technology,
leaving
us
searching
for
additional
information
as
it
stands.
This
is
misuse
of
resources
that
could
be
going
more
and
more
worthwhile
public
safety
measures.
I
We
are
also
still
in
the
dark
as
to
who
can
access
shop,
spotter
information
and
what
specific
locations
technology
is.
Being
used,
they
impact
too
many
people
in
our
communities
for
such
a
tight-lipped
approach
from
BPD.
We
need
more
data,
information
and
information
regarding
this
matter
before
we
can
support
its
continued
implementation
and
funding.
I
However,
I
understand
that
sort
of
we
tend
this
tendency
of
doing
things
quickly,
because
we
don't
have
a
board
or
the
platform
to
be
able
to
address
this
issue
where
most
likely
at
least
I
can
speak
for
myself,
supporting
it,
because
it's
the
Lesser
harm
to
do
to
move
forward,
but
really
would
like
to
slow
it
down.
Honor
the
information
we
have,
which
shows
inadequate
inadequacy
of
this
technology
and
continue.
I
The
conversation
is
before
moving
forward,
but
today
it
feels
as
though
that
we,
or
at
least
with
conversations
with
community
that
we
will
be
in
support
in
order
for
it
to
actually
move
forward
because
we
have
it
as
is,
but
would
appreciate
if
we
can
take
a
look
seconding.
My
Council
colleagues
mejia's
point
to
slow
down
the
conversation
and
do
this
better.
Thank
you.
C
G
Thank
you
so
much
Mr,
President
and
I
really
want
to
thank
councilor
Flaherty
for
his
stewardship
of
this,
and
also
for
moving
this
today.
I
do
think
it's
important
since
we,
the
council,
write
legislation
with
various
deadlines
and
then
in
this
case
we
extended
it
that
we
sort
of
keep
to
the
deadlines,
since
we
also
try
to
hold
the
administration
accountable
to
deadlines
in
our
legislation,
but
where
I
do
want
to
Echo.
Colleagues
is
I.
G
I
feel
is
like
we
just
sort
of
ran
out
of
legislative
time
to
dig
into
some
of
the
bigger
issues
here
and
and
to
counselor
Flaherty's
point
about
the
800
pages.
I
think
you
know
it's
also
a
a
weird
sort
of
instance
where,
because
it's
the
first
time
the
policy's
gone
in,
we
got
the
council
got
all
of
the
surveillance
policies
for
all
all
departments
the
city
filed
at
the
same
time,
which
made
it
really
hard
to
work
its
way
through.
G
But
to
me
there
are
some
particular
Technologies
Council
professional
Anderson
mentioned
one
I
and
I
certainly
feel
like
drones,
raise
a
lot
of
questions
about.
You
know:
people
in
Upper,
Floor
apartment
buildings.
You
sort
of
assume
your
fourth
fifth
floor
window
is
private,
and
then
you
introduce
a
new
technology
and
and
sort
of
like
how
is
that
changing
and
what's
private,
what's
public
and
so
I
think
there's
a
number
of
Technologies
where
we
really
should
be
holding
hearings
in
the
new
year
and
digging
in
on
them
and
thinking
about?
G
Are
there
appropriate
further
regulations
we
should
be
using,
but
I
think
that
pushing
that
into
the
new
year
allows
us
to
focus
on
those
instead
of
just
the
entire
mass
of
things
that
were
filed
this
year
and
I?
Do
just
want
to
note
for
folks
that
in
1663.5,
so
the
ordinance
as
written,
it
says
that
you
know
we're
going
to
be
getting
annual
surveillance
reports
and
then
it
says
if
the
benefits
do
not
like
from
the
council's
Judgment.
Don't
outweigh
the
costs
of
the
technology.
G
M
Thank
you,
president
Flynn
I
I'm,
a
little
frustrated
with
this
process
and
I
have
been
a
little
frustrated
with
this
process,
because
I
think
what
would
have
been
appropriate
to
do
at
this
time
would
have
been
to
giving
ourselves
an
extension
and
to
counselor
box
point
about
wanting
to
stay
true
to
our
deadlines.
I,
don't
think
that
we
straight
through
to
deadlines
at
the
effect
of
not
doing
our
job
and
I.
Think
that
that's
what's
happening
right
now
is
that
the
council
is
not
doing
this
job.
We
are
not.
M
M
For
all
of
the
reasons
that
folks
stated,
the
ordinance
does
state
that
nothing
in
the
ordinance
prohibits
the
city
council
from
enacted
from
enacting
a
separate,
ordinance
or
ban
or
to
otherwise
regulate
any
of
the
surveillance
equipment,
and
so
I
just
want
to
go
on
the
record
to
say
that
we
have
every
intention
of
continuing
to
have
hearings
on
every
single
one
of
these.
We
have
this
ordinance.
M
So
again,
I
just
want
to
State
for
the
record
that
I
have
every
intention
of
continuing
to
file
hearing
orders
to
really
scrutinize
every
single
one
of
the
Departments
and
the
processes
that
they
are
implementing,
and
it
is
my
hope
and
I
will
say
this
publicly
that
the
chair
make
every
at
every
accommodation
to
not
only
schedule
these
hearings,
but
that
the
administration
also
works
with
us
to
make
sure
that
this
is
happening.
We're
going
to
move
this
work
forward.
M
H
Floor,
thank
you.
Mr
chair,
I,
Rise,
To
Echo
the
sentiments,
my
colleagues,
that
we
really
did
run
up
into
a
Time
issue
here.
I
think
the
least
harm
is
to
do
what
we
are
doing
today,
which
is
the
passage
of
it,
but
the
ordinance
itself
written
into
it
gives
us
the
ability
and
to
me
the
responsibility
to
call
some
of
these
things
back
and
to
look
at
them
and
to
see
whether
or
not
they
serve
this
city
and
to
have
the
power.
H
If
we
come
to
the
determination
that
they
do
not
serve
this
city
or
to
the
benefit
of
the
city,
to
revoke
these
permissions
as
on
a
case-by-case
basis
and
I
think
the
appropriate
thing
here
to
do
we,
as
councilor
Buck,
has
raised.
We
received
800
pages
of
documents.
This
isn't
simply
restricted
to
the
surveillance
by
the
Boston
Police
Department.
H
Often
there
are
many
years
ahead
of
where
we
are
legislatively
and
they're
capable
of
all
kinds
of
different
surveillance
that
we
aren't
necessarily
aware
of
until
they
start
to
use
it.
As
an
example,
our
cameras
had
the
ability,
cameras
throughout
the
city
had
the
ability
to,
through
an
app
update,
start
using
facial
recognition
and
unless
we
are
made
aware
of
all
of
those
things
in
terms
of
what
the
technology
is
advancing
and
how
it
is
advancing.
H
What
things
are
available,
even
if
they're
not
being
used
like,
for
instance,
they
weren't
using
that
face
facial
recognition
at
that
time,
and
they
still
aren't
because
we
legislated
it
but
being
made
aware
that
they
had
the
option
to
do
that.
I
think
pushed
us
to
move
that
way
and
so
moving
forward.
H
As
the
chair
of
government
office
trying
to
get
things
scheduled
as
well,
we
have
a
two
hearing,
a
day,
Rule
and
with
redistricting,
taking
up
much
of
that
time
and
then
trying
to
make
sure
everybody
gets
what
they
need
to
get
done
by
the
end
of
legislative
year.
I
understand
the
difficulty
the
chair
had
in
scheduling
and
and
so
moving
forward
into
the
next
year.
I
would
hope
we
have
a
commitment
to
more
hearings
on
this,
but
I
will
be
voting
yesterday.
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
thank.
L
My
light
was
on.
Thank
you.
President
Flynn
I
am
deeply
concerned
about
the
erosion
of
just
privacy
generally
in
our
society,
and
I
think
that
this
is
an
example
of
it.
There
are
some
serious
civil
rights
concerns
here
with
the
use
and
the
expansion
of
these
Technologies
civil
rights
and
civil
liberties
concerns,
and
we
saw
even
just
from
the
table
of
content
table
of
contents,
which
I
mentioned
at
the
hearing.
L
Our
immigrant
communities.
We
know
from
research
from
data
from
Court
decisions,
how
these
Technologies
tend
to
be
disproportionately
used
against
communities
that
already
have
their
back
against
the
wall
and
so
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
continued
hearings
on
this
and
we'll
be,
you
know,
like
everyone
else,
has
that
understand
the
constraints
that
we've
had.
L
C
Thank
you,
Council
Louisiana,
before
I
call
on
Council
Flaherty
I'm,
going
to
weigh
in
on
this
I.
Wasn't
I
wasn't
planning
on
on
doing
it,
but
I
had
I
coordinated
a
meeting
yesterday
with
some
immigrant-owned
businesses,
Business
Leaders
in
my
district,
and
there
have
been
some
robberies
in
these
immigrant-owned
businesses
and
these
business
owners
are
asking
me,
as
their
District
City
councilor,
for
more
support
for
more
services.
C
If
there
was
more
time
console
Clarity
would
have
had
more
meetings,
because
there's
not
a
more
professional
Chio,
then
Council
of
clarity,
so
I,
don't
I'm
a
little
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
important
role
Council
of
Flaherty
has
played
I
and
I'll
I'll
give
Council
firey
the
the
final.
The
final
comment.
B
Thank
you,
Mr
President,
into
obviously
to
to
clear
up
make
sure
there's
no
misinformation
into
maybe
address
some
of
the
aspersions
coming
my
way
as
chair,
there
were
several
dates,
both
hearing
and
working
session
dates
that
I
had
submitted
to
the
parties
The
Advocates.
Frankly,
specifically,
the
ACLU
requested
asked
for
further
dates
and
further
delay.
So,
let's
just
I'm
going
to
put
it
right
on
the
table.
B
People
know
me:
they
know
how
I
run
my
my
committees,
I,
don't
toe,
drag
I,
don't
slow
dance,
I,
don't
care
what
the
issue
is
based
on
my
experience
and
how
I
treat
you
all
as
colleagues,
whoever
is
the
sponsor
or
the
author,
including
the
administration.
I,
am
more
than
accommodating
I.
Submit
dates.
I,
try
to
find
a
way
to
get
the
hearing
to
get
the
information,
and
so
that
will
continue
to
be
my
practice.
B
Despite
some
of
the
aspersions
that
I'm
sort
of
hearing
subtly
here
for
those
that
attended
the
hearing,
we
did
have
an
Administration
panel
that
did
include
the
police
department.
We
also
had
an
advocate
panel
that
included
several
folks,
particularly
also
the
ACLU.
We
had
public
testimony
folks
that
showed
up
were
allowed
to
testify.
We
also
in
addition
I
had
requested.
We
have
zoom
testimony
because
we
did
hear
from
some
Advocates
that
weren't
able
to
make
it
in
here
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
we
made
every
accommodation
for
them.
B
I
know
that
some
of
my
colleagues
were
not
able
to
attend.
I
know
that
some
did
review
and
watch
the
the
video
I
also
know
that
the
document
is
800
pages.
So
through
the
chair,
I'll
challenge
my
colleagues
dive
into
it
over
the
holidays,
get
through
those
800
Pages
once
again,
as
chair,
I
will
be
more
than
accommodating
to
each
of
my
colleagues
to
the
administration
to
Advocates
to
Joe
Blow
on
the
street.
B
B
So
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
make
sure
that
there's
no
misinformation
leaving
this
chamber
today
and
that
there's
no
aspersions
that
this
was
a
one-sided
lopsided
hearing
and
that
Advocates
weren't,
given
the
opportunity
and
the
public
was
not
given
the
opportunity
and
that
I
didn't
I
wasn't
responsive
to
Advocates
and
I
wasn't
accommodating
their
schedule,
not
my
schedule,
I
made
my
Skype
I
was
bending
over
to
try
to
make
sure
we
had
hearings.
In
fact,
I
didn't
just
said
one
day
one
hearing
day,
because
I
knew
how
important
it
was.
B
I
knew
how
many
different
departments
are
involved.
I
knew
how
voluminous
the
documents
were.
I
sent
several
dates.
I
said
we
might
need
to
have
several
hearings
I,
even
addition
to
that
I
sent
working
session
dates,
so
just
so
that
everyone's
clear
here,
that's
how
I
roll
that's.
How
I
ran
this
this
process?
Yes,
we're
up
against
time
constraints.
This
body
got
an
extension
100.
B
We
were
able
to
work
within
that,
so
we
had
two
options
today:
do
nothing
which
I
would
not
have
been
advocating
for
and
been
proud
of,
and
then
it
goes
on
to
the
task
force,
and
then
they
get
the
decisions.
If
that's
the
case,
people
would
say
hey.
Why
do
we
even
need
a
city
council?
Why
don't
we
just
elect
task
forces
and
let
them
do
that
I
didn't
want
that
to
happen.
I
didn't
want
our
body
to
have
to
deal
with
that,
and
so
I
said.
B
No,
let's
take
this
position
today,
knowing
that
it's
a
case
of
first
impression,
knowing
that
it's
800
Pages,
which
I
bet
my
house
on
it,
two-thirds
of
this
body
haven't
read
but
I'm
not
going
there.
In
addition
to
that,
I
know
that
we're
going
to
have
questions
I
know
that
technology
is
going
to
advance.
B
I
know
this
is
a
stepping
off
point
that
each
and
every
one
of
us
have
the
ability
to
do
a
17f
and
or
call
for
a
hearing
in
the
New
Year
fully
expect
that
to
happen
fully
expect
as
chair
to
support
those
requests
from
my
colleagues
like
I,
always
have
over
the
last
20
years.
Thank
you,
Mr
President,
Merry,
Christmas
to
everybody,
happy
holidays,
Feliz,
Navidad
wish
you
and
your
families
all
the
best
in
this
new
season.
Thank
you
and
God
bless.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
Juan's
put
them
all
in
them.
Thank
you.

As
a
reminder,
this
docket
is
appropriate
is
for
an
appropriation
in
the
amount
of
one
million
five
hundred
fifteen
dollars
to
cover
the
cost
of
visibility,
study
and
schematics
design.
Work

and

at
the

We
took
our
first
vote
on
this
dock
in
October,
19th
and
I'm,
asking
you
now
for
the
second
vote
in
the
affirmative.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
C
C
A
C
S
several
of
my
colleagues
asked
to
speak
about
someone
from
their
family
or
their
their
community
that
has
passed
especially
during
during
this
holiday
season.
So
I
thought
it
was
appropriate
if,
if
people
want
to
speak
about
a
loved
one
or
a
Community
member
that
has
passed
during
this
time,
I'm
gonna
I'm
gonna
read
read
the
names
into
the
into
the
record
and
then
I'm
going
to
ask.
If
anyone
would
like
to
speak
on
on
their
loved
one
or
their
their
family
member
or
their
Community
member.
C
I
My
brother-in-law,
those
of
you
know
that
I
made
a
boo-boo
and
hired
my
sister
and
did
not
hide
it
and
told
everybody
she's
my
sister,
but
anyway.
During
that
time
my
brother-in-law
went
into
cardiac
arrest
and
I
asked
you
for
your
prayers,
then
quickly,
a
month
a
couple
months
later,
he
was
on
a
list
waiting
for
a
heart:
they've
now
he's
gotten
a
heart
transplant
and
is
recovering
nice
and
strong,
and
just
wanted
to
celebrate
that
and
thank
you
so
much
and
continue
to
keep
him
in
his
prayers
to
recovery.
Thank
you.
C
N
Thank
you
council
president
I'm,
going
to
speak
on
on
my
memorials
and
I
rise
today
in
memoriam
of
these
two
individuals,
both
sudden
losses
for
their
families
and
respective
communities.
So
Marianne
Mimi
Wren
was
a
pillar
in
Charlestown.
She
dedicated
her
entire
life
in
service
of
her
community
and
gave
over
30
years
to
the
bcyf
site
in
Charlestown.
She
mentored
and
guided
thousands
of
children
in
her
time
and
saw
every
family
that
walked
through
the
door
as
an
extension
of
her
own.
N
She
was
warm
welcoming
and
just
a
bright
light.
Every
single
time,
I
got
a
chance
to
speak
to
her.
She
was
an
integral
part
in
so
many
people's
lives
and
literally
helped
raise
thousands
of
kids
in
o2129.
There
was
a
huge
hole
in
our
hearts
now
that
she
has
transitioned
and
my
thoughts
are
with
her
entire
family
and
the
entire
community
of
Charlestown
during
this
difficult
time
and
the
second
individual
who
has
left
us
far
too
soon
I
apologize.
N
He
was
a
friend
of
mine
from
high
school
and
a
resident
of
Hyde
Park.
His
name
is
Brian
higginbottom
and
we
belovedly
called
him
higgy,
because
his
last
name
was
really
long,
but
higgy
was
a
rising
star
in
the
comedy
space
in
Boston,
and
everyone
who
knew
him
would
describe
them
as
incredibly
kind,
genuine
and
empathetic
adjectives
that
one
usually
wouldn't
associate
with
a
comedian.
N
Piggy
was
just
30
years
old
and
I
want
to
close
this
meeting,
to
put
a
call
to
action
in
this
memory
to
provide
better
access
to
Mental
Health
Resources
and
encourage
everyone
to
reach
out
to
their
friends
and
family,
to
tell
them
that
you
love
them
and
appreciate
them,
especially
during
this
holiday
season.
So
again,
my
heart
is
with
his
entire
family
and
the
entire
Hyde
Park
Community
at
this
time,
and
thank
you
again
for
allowing
me
to
speak
on
this.
It
means
a
lot
to
me.
C
G
C
The
Chia
moves
that
when
the
council
adjourns
today
it
