A
A
We
also
joined
this
morning
by
the
administration
Allison
breez,
the
commissioner
of
the
environment
department
for
the
city
of
Boston.
I,
am
really
excited
to
be
here
with
you
all
today.
This
is
a
really
momentous
occasion,
and
I
cannot
wait
for
the
work
that
this
review
board
is
has
ahead
of
them.
A
We
as
a
city
have
really
made
a
commitment
to
speed
up
decarbonization
because
we
know
it's
one
of
the
only
ways
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
reach
our
climate
goals,
and
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
the
process
of
decarbonization
happens
with
the
most
vulnerable
communities
and
the
most
impacted
communities
in
mind,
and
so
I'm
really
encouraged
and
excited
to
see
so
many
people
from
so
many
different
Industries
represented
here
on
this
review
board.
The
city
of
Boston
will
be
better
because
you
are
all
here
with
us
today.
A
A
Two
four:
through
zero:
eight
two
five
regarding
the
virtual
appointments,
a
representative
for
my
staff,
will
be
listening
in
and
following
up
with
me,
I
look
forward
to
reviewing
the
footage
and
following
up
as
need,
be
I
sincerely
regret
that
I
could
not
attend
the
hearing
this
afternoon
as
I
made
prior
commitments.
That
I
must
keep
and
I
think
counselor
Murphy
meant
this
morning,
but
it
said
Thank
you
Aaron,
Murphy,
Boston,
City
councilor
at
large,
and
that
letter
will
be
officially
put
into
the
record.
A
C
C
As
you
know,
Birdo
the
building
of
missions,
reduction
and
disclosure
ordinance,
that's
declining
emission
standards
for
Boston's
large
buildings,
buildings
that
are
at
least
20
000
square
feet
or
15
or
more
residential
units.
There
are
thousands
of
these
buildings
across
the
city,
so
so
the
work
of
this
board
is
going
to
be
critical
to
our
decarbonization
success
and,
as
you
said,
chair
to
ensuring
that
there
is
equity
and
a
focus
on
our
environmental
justice
populations
at
the
center
of
this
work.
C
A
key
part
of
the
ordinance
was
the
creation
of
a
nine-member
review
board
established,
oversee
berto's
implementation.
Major
responsibilities
of
the
board
include
approval
of
flexibility
measures
for
buildings,
including
building
portfolios,
individual
compliance
schedules
and
hardship
compliance
plans,
oversight
of
the
Equitable
emissions,
investment
fund
enforcement
of
Birdo
and
advice
and
recommendations
for
the
development
and
revision
of
regulations
governing
this
ordinance
board.
Members
are
appointed,
as
you
noted,
by
the
mayor
and
approved
by
city
council,
which
is
why
we're
all
here
today
and
the
ordinance
specifies
that
of
the
nine
members
of
this
board.
C
The
review
board
members
must
have
expertise
in
at
least
one
of
the
following
areas,
and
more
than
one
is
obviously
a
priority
for
us
as
we
look
to
the
future
of
this
ordinance.
Those
areas
are
environmental
justice,
affordable
housing,
labor
and
workers,
rights,
Workforce,
Development,
building
engineering
and
energy
architecture
and
historic
preservation,
real
estate
development
and
management,
and
public
health
and
hospitals.
C
Expertise
can
be
demonstrated
through
academic
degrees,
professional
experience,
volunteer
experience
or
lived
experience
and
so
be
on
behalf
of
Mayor
Wu
I
am
very
pleased
to
submit
this
strong
group
of
appointees.
We
believe
that
their
expertise
and
commitment
will
be
a
valuable
addition
to
the
team
and
will
help
ensure
the
successful
implementation
of
this
ordinance,
and
we
thank
these
appointees
for
their
service
to
the
city.
C
I,
look
forward
to
any
questions,
counselors
that
you
may
have,
but
first
I'd
like
to
invite
nominees
to
share
more
about
their
background
and
interest
and
counselor
Laura
I
think
you
noted
already.
If,
if
you'll
permit,
we
would
like
to
start
with
Lee
Latimore,
as
they
have
some
time
commitments
pressing.
A
B
B
So
we
built
new
schoolyards
protected
tenants
from
eviction
continued,
a
legacy
of
work
to
gain
access
back
to
the
Fairmont
Commuter
Rail
Line,
access
that
was
denied
in
the
wake
of
a
white
flight
from
our
city
and
after
that,
I
had
the
privilege
of
working
at
all
terms
of
community
environment
in
Nubian
Square
for
14
years.
That
was
really
a
transformational
experience
for
me
that
changed
the
way,
I
think
about
power.
B
The
many
connections
across
all
the
issues
that
our
communities
are
facing
and
really
our
ability
to
kind
of
create
change
both
within
ourselves,
our
communities
and
our
systems
right
so
at
Ace,
I,
was
in
a
variety
of
roles.
The
director
of
the
tea
writers
Union
later
the
political
director-
and
you
know,
while
I
was
there,
I
just
saw
what
we
could
do
when
we
came
together.
It
became
really
clear
on
my
work
on
public
transit.
B
We
brought
together
Transit
riders
that
depended
on
public
transit,
young
people
that
were
leading
a
fight
on
affordability
and
access,
Elders
people
with
disabilities,
as
well
as
the
workers
that
were
maintaining
and
operating
the
system,
and
and
together
we
kind
of
fought,
and
while
we
didn't
actually
stop
all
the
fair
increases
and
cuts,
we
laid
the
groundwork
to
win
access
to
affordability
for
all
young
people.
Through
the
youth
pass,
we
were
able
to
secure
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars,
investment
in
the
MBTA.
B
We
also
supported
an
effort
that
won
writer,
voice
and
vote
for
all
regional
transit
authorities
and
that
work
kind
of
continues
today,
and
so
that
kind
of
brings
me
to
my
most
recent
chapter
since
20
2020
I've
been
the
executive
director
of
an
organization
called
Community,
Labor
United,
we're
based
in
downtown
Boston
and,
as
the
name
suggests,
we
kind
of
bring
together
community
and
labor
Partners,
mostly
in
Greater
Boston.
Together,
we
fight
for
racial,
gender,
economic
and
environmental
justice,
and
you
know
Community
night.
B
We
do
that
through
building
strong
coalitions
led
by
community
and
labor
Partners.
We
want
run
policy
campaigns
and
projects
that
are
supported
by
a
great
team
of
organizers,
researchers
and
strategists.
So
one
of
the
coalitions
we
convene
is
the
green
Justice
Coalition.
This
Coalition
Was
Won
among
you,
know
among
a
number
of
groups
that
really
helped
Advocate
and
organize
for
the
new
building
emissions
reduction,
ordinance
and
its
members
and
cool
groups
such
as
alternative
Community
environment,
the
Chinese
Progressive
Association,
clean
water
action,
Boston,
climate
Action
Network.
B
So
you
know
I've
served
on
on
boards
and
advisory
groups.
None
quite
like
this
one,
but
I
think
I.
Think
my
my
experience
is
going
to
be
an
asset
to
this
group
I'm,
going
to
continue
to
stay,
grounded
in
cumulative
United's,
community
and
labor
partners
that
we
work
with
and
I
think
these
are
groups
that
represent
key
stakeholders
that
are
going
to
be
affected
by
the
ordinance
in
our
effort
to
kind
of
address.
Air
quality
issues
create
healthier
communities.
B
I'm
also
talk
about
the
issue
of
jobs
and
job
Pathways
for
residents,
so
I'm,
actually
Nubian
Square.
Today
we
have
a
a
an
event
to
celebrate:
World
asthma
day
with
the
green
Justice
Coalition,
and
so
my
apologies
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
stay
on
for
the
entirety
of
the
hearing,
but
in
closing
I'm
just
going
to
say
racial,
gender,
economic,
environmental
justice
is
it's
in
my
heart.
I'm
really
excited
about
this
opportunity
to
work
with
other
board
members
chair,
Lara,
the
administration,
other
stakeholders,
including
building
owners.
B
D
Thank
you
good
morning,
chair
Lara
and
members.
My
name
is
Gail
Latimore
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
Covenant
Square
in
DC
I'm,
a
50-plus
CM
resident
of
Boston
having
grown
up
in
Roxbury
and
having
lived
in
over
20
years
in
Cottman
Square
here
in
Dorchester,
and
now
for
the
last
15
years
in
Hyde,
Park
I'm
pleased
to
be
here
and
pleased
to
be
considered
to
serve
on
the
verdeaux
Review
Committee
I've
been
a
Community
Development
practitioner
for
30
years
and
have
a
degree
in
architecture
and
studied
urban
planning
at
at
the
Master's
level
as
well.
D
My
work
at
Codman
Square
Naval
development
Corps,
provides
me
with
the
experience
and
background
to
be
of
service
to
the
beardo
Review
Committee.
As
executive
director
I've
supported
the
development
and
stewardship
of
about
a
thousand
units
of
affordable
housing.
That
csndc
has
now
has
in
its
portfolio.
D
We've
also
been
involved
in
energy
and
environmental
justice
issues
through
our
Eco
Innovation
District
initiative
that
we
launched
10
years
ago
through
that
work,
we've
done
things
like
attempting
to
get
the
Talbot
Norfolk
triangle,
neighborhood
certified
as
a
lead
for
neighborhood
development,
neighborhood
and
we've
fought
hard
similar
to
what
Lee
mentioned,
with
the
Coalition
of
groups
and
elected
officials
to
win
200
million
dollars
for
installation
of
the
four
relatively
new
stops
on
the
Fairmount
line,
which
has
brought
Transit
Equity
to
our
neighborhood.
We
are
also
working
with
local
Civic
associations
to
deploy
community-based
energy
ambassadors.
D
We
also
assist
homeowners
with
rehab
grants,
a
peach,
a
piece
of
which
has
to
be
used
to
do
some
level
of
energy
retrofit
in
their
homes.
We
have
the
Codman
Square
climate,
Justice,
Alliance,
composed
of
local
residents
and
others
who
have
been
working
with
us
for
over
three
years
now
on
a
range
of
climate
mitigation
projects
and
climate
legislation
and
programs,
including
trying
to
get
more
green
job
awareness,
preparation
and
curricular
development
into
the
Boston
Public
Schools.
D
This
is
a
this
is
key
to
the
job
prospects
for
our
young
people,
so
I
bring
this
background,
along
with
my
lived
experience
in
juggling
family
and
living
costs,
including
energy
costs.
I
cannot
believe
how
high
those
energy
costs
were
last
year.
Those
gas
heating
losses,
ridiculous,
so
I
would
be
using
this
experience
to
and
to
include
my
the
advocacy
that
we
do
to
help
the
predominantly
low
and
moderate
income
bypoc
residents
that
we
serve
to
help
them
stay
in
place.
D
A
Thank
you
so
much
Miss,
Lattimore
I
would
like
now
to
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
that
we've
been
joined
by
my
Council
colleague,
counselor
at
large
and
Michael
Flaherty
councilor
Flaherty.
We
are
right
now
focused
on
Mr,
matsuera
and
Miss
Lattimore,
because
they
have
to
leave
us
early.
So
I
will
ask
around
the
questions
and
I
will
go
to
you
for
questions
for
the
two
nominees.
A
Thank
you
so
much
so.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
both
for
one
all
of
your
hard
work
as
as
Lee
was
telling
going
back
and
telling
all
of
your
work.
I
was
like
oh
yeah,
that's
and
that's
where
we
met
and
that's
where
that
is
always
so
I'm
very
really
excited
to
to
have
you
here,
I
guess
one
of
the
questions
that
I
have
and
one
of
the
concerns
that
I
have
as
the
chair,
particularly
as
we
talk
about
decarbonization
and
we
talk
about
environmental
justice.
A
Is
this
idea
of
a
just
transition
and
what
does
planning
for
a
just
transition
for
workers
looks
like
and
so
I'm
really
interested
in
what
both
of
your
views
are
on
a
just
transition,
and
what
are
the
pain
points
that
you
see
based
on
where
we
are
right
now
and-
and
you
know
how,
if
there's
any,
what
is
your
vision
or
what
a
just
transition
looks
like
in
the
city
of
Boston?
It's
my
question
and
Lee.
You
can
go
first,
I'm
gonna
miss
that
one
yeah.
B
B
I
think
there's
huge
opportunities
with
Federal
resources
that
are
flowing
to
municipalities
in
our
state
to
build
the
type
of
future
that
we
want
to
see.
One
other
just
quick
thing.
I'll
mention
is,
you
know,
I've
also
been
really
excited
because
there's
a
new
formation
in
the
state
that
is
being
led
primarily
by
the
Massachusetts
CIO,
to
convene
I,
believe
What's
called
the
climate
jobs
table
and
I've
been
asked
to
participate
on
that
we've
had
a
few
board
meetings.
B
Initially,
and
what's
really
cool
to
see
that
about
that
effort,
which
is
mirrored
in
at
least
five
or
six
other
states,
is
that
you
see
labor
taking
a
different,
more
direct
position
on
what
does
it
look
like
for
them
to
be
part
of
the
conversation
on
climate
and
just
transition?
And
so
you
know
I'm
encouraged,
because
there
are
examples
of
what
they're
trying
to
shift
in
the
larger
conversation
around.
B
The
type
of
you
know
things
that
we
should
be
thinking
about
and
what's
been,
exciting
is
no
question
like
60
different
environmental
and
community-based
groups
signed
on
in
support
of
it
right
away,
because
they
understand
that
it's
the
type
of
thing
that
we
need
to
be
thinking
about.
So
that's
just
an
example,
I'm
happy
to
share
more
information
about
that.
If
that's
needed-
and
this
is
obviously
something
that
I'd
like
to
continue
to
be
actively
involved
with
that
conversation
going
forward.
D
Yes,
I
agree:
it's
a
really
good
question,
part
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
as
on
our
cotton
Square,
climate
Justice
Alliance,
which
is
composed
of
mainly
of
residents
and
others
concerned
about
these.
These
issues
involves
the
project
that
I
talked
about
related
to
curricula,
development
and
green
job
awareness
in
Boston,
Public,
Schools,
I.
Think
that
is
one
approach.
It's
not
so
much
for
folks
who
have
jobs
already,
but
how
we
prepare
our
young
people
for
what
I
understand
are
going
to
be.
D
And
how
do
we
kind
of
prepare
students
for
those
jobs?
How
do
we
kind
of
develop
the
curriculas?
How
do
we
have
Hands-On,
practicums
I
understand,
there's
going
to
be
quite
a
bit
of
energy
retrofit
and
other
types
of
work
done
in
the
Boston
Public
Schools?
How
do
we
use
that
as
an
opportunity
for
the
students
to
kind
of
you
know,
Shadow
the
that
that
work
and
start
learning,
but
also
from
the
small
business
development
side?
D
One
of
the
things
that
our
climate
Justice
group
has
been
advocating
for
is
you
know
how
do
we
bring
more
opportunities
for
local
minority
business
business
people
trades
people,
electricians,
Carpenters,
Etc,
all
of
whom,
as
I
understand
from
the
mass
clean
energy
center
are
going
to
be,
are
much
needed
already
and
are
going
to
be
even
more
needed
in
the
in
the
clean
energy
space.
So
how
do
we
get
those
those
MBE
trades
people
kind
of
trained
up?
Tweaked?
Not
not.
D
They
already
have
the
skills
but
tweak
it
in
a
way
that
has
it
have
their
work,
be
even
more
relevant
to
the
green
job
industry
and
the
many
burgeoning
opportunities
that
I
understand.
It
exists
now
and
will
exist
even
more
in
the
future.
So
we
just
applied
for
in
conjunction
with
two
other
Community
Development
corporations,
which
include
cotton,
Square,
Dorchester,
Bay,
Economic,
Development,
Corp
and
JP
NDC.
We
just
applied
for
a
minority
business
development
Grant
from
the
feds
to
do
just
that
to
really
start
the
process
of
getting.
D
You
know
the
local
small
businesses
that
we
know
who
are
trades
people
working
also
with
the
mass
minority
contractors
Association
to
kind
of
get
them
trained
up,
get
them
looking
at
opportunities,
Contracting
opportunities
with
public
entities,
Etc
and
more
trained
up
in
connection
with
folks,
like
the
emerald,
City's
collaborative
that
is
doing
just
that
type
of
work.
So
I
see
that
as
one
angle,
those
things
as
angles
for
this
just
transition,
Our
Youth
and
our
existing
minority
business
people.
Thank.
A
You
so
much
Miss
Lattimore,
we
myself
councilor,
Coletta
and
councilor
regen
just
recently
had
a
hearing
about
creating
an
environmental
justice
curriculum
in
VPS
and
I.
Think
oftentimes.
When
you
think
about
environmental
justice,
we
think
about
one:
what
are
the
causes
of
climate
change
right
on
the
science
end
and
we
also
think
about
it
on
the
social
justice
and
when
we
think
about
environmental
justice
and
my
question
and
my
push
during
the
hearing
was
specifically:
how
do
we
prepare
students
at
BPS
to
also
respond
to
climate
change
with
vocational
training
in
our
schools?
A
A
Commissioner
brezius,
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
you
are
I'm?
Sorry,
director,
can
you
talk
to
me
a
little
bit
about
how
you
anticipate
the
review
process
happening?
So
there
there's
there's
a
meeting
everybody's.
How
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
you're,
anticipating
what
decisions
the
reviewer
is
going
to
be
making
specifically
and
what
folks
are
going
to
be?
Looking
for.
C
What
are
the
uses
for
those
funds?
How
are
those
funds
to
supporting
buildings,
prioritizing
environmental
justice
populations,
but
also
looking
at
just
transition?
As
you
said,
energy
affordability
and
other
crucial
topics,
as
we
as
we
support
for
buildings
in
their
transition
to
decarbonization
they'll,
also
be
setting
the
rules
and
regulations
for
items
like
hardship
compliance
plans.
What
constitutes
a
hardship?
What
are
the
unique
features?
What
has
what
does
the
building
need
to
have
done?
C
C
They
will
then
oversee
after
the
regulations
are
set
a
lot
of
the
applications
to
receive
the
Equitable
investment
and
fund
money
and
then
to
distribute
it
to
buildings
and
then
eventually
over
time
they
will
also
oversee
assessments
of
how
is
the
ordinance
working
are
there?
Is
it
working
as
expected?
Are
there
amendments
that
need
to
so
it
is
a
very,
very
busy
board.
We
really
truly
appreciate
the
service
of
the
appointees
and
the
variety
of
of
types
of
work
that
will
come
before
the
board
are.
A
So
given
that
in
the
first
year
and
it
seems
like
the
first
really
beginning
chunk
of
the
review
board-
is
going
to
be
focused
on
regulation.
Can
you
tell
me
you
know
shortly
and
concisely,
because
I
don't
want
to
keep
you
here
longer
than
you
need
to
about
what
you're
going
to
be
looking
for
and
When
developing
regulation
and
what
you're
hoping
to
bring
to
the
regulation
level
lens.
You
hope
to
bring
and
figuring
kind
of
answering
those
two
big
questions
out.
F
D
You
know
you
know
really
looking
at
you
know
who
the
pro
the
proponent
is,
that
is
coming
before
the
committee,
how
they're
doing
in
terms
of
their
their
building
performance
and
what
their
resources
are
and
if
they
are
and
I've
been.
Looking
as
I
said
within
a
lens
to
kind
of
has
we
already
have
been
on
the
Community
Advisory
board
group
we've
been
looking
at
issues
related
to
how
the
legis
the
regulations
that
we're
putting
in
place
will
they
have?
Could
there
be
some
unintended
consequences
in
terms
of
people
being
displaced?
D
D
B
So
I
think
that's
one
thing.
The
second
thing
I
am
excited
about.
Gail
you
mentioned
it
is
the
fund.
I.
Think
you
know.
Communities
were
very
clear
in
the
process
around
how
they
wanted
to
see
those
resources
used
and
I.
Think
that's,
that's
really
important
and
so
we'll
be
paying
attention
to
those
that
are
not
able
to
do
the
work
and
contribute
to
the
fun
I.
Think
that's
a
huge
responsibility
for
for
us
as
well,
and
then
the
third
one
I
would
just
talk
about.
B
B
You
know
great
set
of
folks
in
the
trades
and
others
that
I
think
should
be
doing
this
work
if
we
can
figure
it
out
and
so
I'm
really
interested
to
make
sure
that,
whether
it's
you
know
whoever's
doing
the
work,
there's
really
strong
protections
and
standards
in
place,
but
also
you
know
that
we
address.
You
know
this
start
talking
about
the
issue
of
like
how
are
we
getting
other
people
into
these
jobs?
And
you
know
labette's
here
with
us
like
ibw.
A
Thank
you
so
much
at
this
moment,
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
that
we've
been
joined
by
city
council
president
Ed
Flynn
from
District
Two,
president
Flynn.
We
are
doing
a
round
or
questions
for
Mr
matsuera
and
Miss
Lattimore
who
are
going
to
leave
us
Council
for
clarity
is
ahead
of
you
and
then
I
will
give
you
the
for
any
questions
for
the
two.
Before
we
move
on
to
everybody
else,
Council
Clarity,
you
have
before.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
just
briefly
to
to
Lee
and
Gail
I
just
want
to
get
their
perspective
on
my
focus,
obviously,
on
on
the
small
property
owner
owner
occupied
City
resident.
Many
of
our
residents
are
now
it's
the
word
house,
rich
in
cash
poor.
That
very
much
like
to
you
know,
make
the
necessary
upgrades
and
improvements
on
their
properties
and
adhere
to
the
regulations
and
around
climate
resiliency.
E
Yet,
obviously,
given
the
increase
in
property
taxes
and
if
they're
not
rent
gouging
in
the
you
know,
they're
dipping
good
Fair
landlords
and
having
sort
of
those
extra
resources
available
to
do
the
necessary
to
work
and
upgrades
to
to
get
their
buildings
in
compliance.
They
make
struggle
and
just
want
to
get
your
perspective
on
sort
of
that
small
property
owner
again.
The
the
house
Rich
cash,
poor
person-
and
you
know
what
efforts
will
you
will
you
make
to
to
connect
with
those
folks
and
provide
the
necessary
resources?
D
Yeah
I
think
that
you
know
for
those
that
the
the
as
I
understand
the
minimum
square
footage
is
maybe
outside
for
the
small,
Mom
and
Pops
for
bear,
though
purposes
in
terms
of
one
to
four
family
owner
occupants.
However,
there
are
some,
you
know,
Mom
and
Pop
types
that
all
investment
properties
and
I
think
that
we
certainly
would
want
to.
You
know
think
about
the
issues
that
we've
been
talking
about
with
that
population
which
definitely
do
a
special
Outreach
to
those
folks
that
have
a
smaller
size
portfolio.
D
Consider
you
know
their
total
portfolio.
Consider
you
know
the
equity
issues
related
to
you
know,
especially
if
they're
doing
you
know
relatively
Noah's,
meaning
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing
to
me.
That
goes
a
long
way
in
terms
of
supporting
folks
with
the
fund
and
providing
you
know,
resources
and
and
necessary
waivers
so
I
think
I
would
look
at
a
number
of
factors
related
to
that,
and
also
advocate
for
folks
who
are
aligning
with
other
Arts
of
the
city's
Mission,
affordable
housing.
D
E
You
on
that
and
that's
the
group
Gail,
obviously
the
small
property
own,
a
small
portfolio
of
the
good
neighbors.
You
know
in
in
many
instances
traging
sort
of
a
below
Market
Trend
situation,
and
you
know
they're.
The
they're.
The
first
folks
to
to
volunteer
in
communities
are
the
first
folks
to
to
write
a
check.
You
know
someone's
in
need
or
there's
a
specific
cause
and
just
want
to,
and
those
are
folks
that
constantly
are
just
doing
the
right
thing
and
want
to
continue
to
do
the
right
thing.
E
Arguably
exempt
many
of
them
are
going
to
come
to
the
Forefront
wanting
to
to
participate
and
to
to
get
in
compliance,
but
but
for
some
it
may
be
unobtainable
just
because
of
everything
else
that
they've
got
going
on
with
the
increased
property
taxes
and
they're
charging
nominal,
or
you
know,
below
Market
red,
so
I
appreciate
hearing
answer
to
that
and
then
just
to
Allison
Allison
in
the
language
of
this
I
want
to
get
your
take
on
it.
We
read
it
when
it
was
introduced.
E
There's
a
provision
in
there
talking
about
the
the
members
to
this
board
and
it
makes
it
I.
Don't
have
it
in
front
of
me,
you,
you
probably
have
it
in
front
of
you
but
Andrew
Madam
chair
may
have
it
is
that
it
talks
about
the
members
that
are
participating,
it
I,
think
they're.
Are
they
considered
Municipal
Employees
for
the
for
the
purposes
of
their
time
on
this
board,
can
you
can
you
just
read
that
those
couple
of
sentences-
and
just
tell
me,
tell
me
what
you
mean
by
that.
C
The
exact
language
in
front
of
me,
but
I
can
work
to
bring
it
up,
but,
generally
speaking,
I
believe
there
was
a
an
ordinance
introduced
at
the
same
time
as
these
appointees
were
put
forward.
Asking
that
they'd
be
made
special
employees
for,
for
the
purposes
of
this
board,
to
ensure
that
they
would
not
be
considered
full
employees.
That
would
allow
them
to
to
act
on
behalf
of
the
city
but
not
be
conflicted
out
of
other
work
across
the
city
as
well.
Right.
E
A
A
D
B
C
E
E
I
was
the
council
but
I'm
also
an
attorney,
but
it's
also
a
language
that
we
don't
see
in
a
lot
of
other
task
force
and,
or
you
know,
membership
so
I,
just
it
was
sort
of
it
caught
my
attention
as
the
longest
survey
member
there
20
years,
not
a
lot
of
sort
of
boards
and
commissions
have
that
you
know
sort
of
that
that
caveat
those
two
sentences,
so
I
just
want
to
get
a
perspective
as
to
I
guess
what
it
means.
How
do
you
guys
interpret
it?
E
C
I
should
clarify:
I
am
absolutely
not
a
lawyer.
Some
words
reduce
that
I
do
and
I
and
I
will
connect
you
with
the
appropriate
people
in
the
Law
Department
to
answer
it
it
officially,
but
as
I
understand
it,
this
is
special
Municipal
Employee
as
a
status
and
I'm
going
to
read
to
you
from
the
State
website
right
now
that
can
be
assigned
to
certain
Municipal
positions.
C
Basically,
it's
it's
about
conflicting.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
these
that
these
review
board
members
are
not
conflicted
out
of
any
other
business
before
the
city.
Several
boards
and
commissions
in
the
city
already
have
this
and
I
know
that
we're
looking
as
a
whole
across
many
other
boards
and
commissions
to
ensure
that
that
is
reflected
there.
So
it's
basically
for
a
position
can
be
designated
as
a
special
Municipal
Employee,
provided
that
it
is,
they
hold
a
a
part-time
position.
C
It's
not
a
full-time
position
for
the
city
that
they
they
it
allows
them
to
have
another
job
during
normal
working
hours
and
that
either
they
are
not
paid
or
that
they're
paid
below
a
certain
amount
for
for
their
work
on
the
board
and
so
Birdo
review
board.
Members
are
eligible
for
compensation,
but
it
is
capped
at
a
lower
amount.
It's
not
a
full-time
job
by
any
stands
as
with
many
of
our
our
boards
and
commissions.
C
But
let
me
that
is,
that
is
my
personal
understanding
of
it
and
let
me
connect
you
with
the
law
department
to
get
the
formal
official
answer
on
all
of
those
details
and
then
also
for
all
of
the
review
board
members.
We
will
be
connecting
them
also
with
the
law
department
and
the
state
and
the
city
ethics
teams
to
make
sure
that
they
understand
all
of
all
of
those
elements
and
and
how
conflict
of
interest
law
works.
There.
E
When
you
talk
to
the
legal
department,
does
that
make
one
I
guess
pension
eligible
if
there's
a
municipal,
city-state
federal
employee
or
that
they've
got
prior
service?
Does
participation?
Does
that
allow
the
the
the
clock
to
accrue
for
for
pension
retirement
purposes?
That's
that
would
be
my
follow-up.
C
Absolutely
counselor
and
I
received
some
information
from
the
team.
There
is
a
Omnibus
Bill
from
2009
that
was
put
through
Council,
transforming
many
boards
and
commissions
over
to
this
special
status.
So
many
of
our
boards
and
Commissioners
are
in
this
special
status
now,
and
so
this
is
really
to
bring
the
Birdo
or
Review
Board
in
line
with
with
that
standard
that
many
boards
and
commissions
have
across
the
city
but
happy
to
connect
more
on
the
on
the
pension
or
other
language.
There.
E
E
A
Thank
you
so
much
president
Flynn,
thank
you
for
being
here
with
us.
So
at
this
moment
we're
going
to
move
on
to
the
panelists
I'm
going
to
call
the
order
we're
going
to
start
with
k,
Palmer
Dunning,
then
we're
going
to
go
with
Rashida,
Boyd,
Lavette,
Jacobs
and
ending
with
Stephen
Ellis.
We're
going
to
have
each
of
you
just
share
a
little
bit
about
yourself
and
what
you're
hoping
to
accomplish
and
then
we'll
do
questions
with
the
counselors
before
we
close
out
so
first
up
on
the
list
is
Miss
K,
Palmer
Dunning.
A
A
G
You
thank
you
counselor
Laura
and

Roxbury
I'm,
a
proud
resident
of
Boston

grew
up
in
Roxbury
and
where
my
family,
watching
my
family,
still
lives
and
I
currently
live
in
Jamaica

G
In
my
role
at
home,
Energy

team
I
am
the
I
work
on
the
Equitable
decarbonization
building
decarbonization
projects.
Some
of
the
projects
include
trying
to
connect
households
with
better

households
with
Mass
Save
programs
and
other
other
efforts
to
work
at
the
local

to
address

projects
having
to

and
I
will
be

G
I
also
served

for
a
number
of
years,
helping
to
ensure
that
the
programming
at

continued
to
move
forward
in
that
direction.
It
would
be
my
man's
pleasure
to
my
immense
privilege
to
represent
my
community
and
other
residents
of
Boston
On.
The
Border
review
board.
I've
worked
in
the
environmental
space
for
over
10
years,
addressing
climate
change
through
sustainability,
clean
energy
policy
and
building
to
carbonization
I.
G
I
understand,
I,
understand
the
importance
of
policies
like
Berto
as
a
necessary
tool
for
cutting
building
missions
and
existing
buildings
over
time
in
order
to
meet
our
climate
goals
and
I.
Think
this
committee
and
the
environment
department
for
its
continued
work
to
ensure
Boston
is
a
leader
in
dressing
climate
change
around
the
country.
G
I
am
proud
to
be
nominated
by
Armani
white
from
the
community-based
organization
reclaimed
Roxbury
reclaimed.
Roxbury
has
worked
tirelessly
for
almost
a
decade
to
ensure
housing.
Development
in
Roxbury
is
truly
affordable
for
residents
and
there's
Economic
Development
opportunities
as
well.
Some
of
the
work,
some
of
the
work
that
we've
done
with
recline
Rock
Springs
is
including
facilitating
Community
meetings
participating
in
bpda
meetings
having
to
do
with
plant
immune
square
and
conducting
voter
awareness
during
local
election,
local
and
state
elections
and
supporting
other
organizations
like
Ace
and
cloudman
square
neighborhood.
G
In
common
square,
you
know
the
organizations
in
their
work
as
a
member
of
reclaimed
Roxbury
and
an
advocated
environmental
justice
communities.
I
would
also
be
it'd,
also
be
my
privilege
to
serve
on
this
review
board
because
of
the
commitments
that
have
been
made
around
Equity
environmental
justice,
Boston's,
low-income,
low-income
and
residents
of
color
are
disproportionately
impacted
by
high
energy
burdens,
Urban
effect
and
unaffordable
housing.
The
Equitable
emissions
investment
fund
provision
Alberto,
is
an
important
step
in
addressing
these
environmental
justice.
G
A
H
H
I
decided
do
I
want
to
do
this
for
the
rest
of
my
life,
so
it
it
allowed
me
to
evaluate
my
situation
and
I
wanted
to
be
more
Purpose
Driven,
so
I
resigned
and
I
was
scared
to
do
it.
I
didn't
know
what
I
I
was
very
scared,
but
I
went
to
trade
school
to
I,
went
to
school
for
HVAC
in
refrigeration,
where
I
obtained
my
EPA.
My
hot
works,
OSHA
10,
then
I
just
dwindled
around
there.
Then
I
realized
how
toxic
refrigerants
were
and
I
said.
H
H
H
We
test
for
Energy,
Efficiency
ventilation,
inspection,
so
I'm,
I
literally
went
from
steel
toes
to
stilettos
I
mean
stilettos
to
steel.
Toes
sorry,
that's
opposite!
So
that's
why
I'm
glad
to
get
dressed
today,
because
I
always
I'm
always
dirty
and
things
like
that
I'm
always
in
buildings
and
I
I.
Do
the
work
every
day.
That's
what
I
do
I
work
with
contractors?
H
Sometimes
they
don't
understand
when
they
see
us,
they
don't
want
to
see
us
they're
kind
of
scared,
because
they're
used
to
the
old
way.
Then
then
anyone
care
about
energy
or
ventilation
or
air
quality.
They
just
threw
the
house
up,
didn't
care
if
you
had
mold
in
it.
So
that's
a
challenge
sometimes
explaining
to
them
why
it's
so
important.
So
what
I
tend
to
do
is
I.
If
they
want
to
stay
in.
H
While
we
run
the
test,
we
let
them
stay
in
and
then
they
have
more
awareness
to
it
and
that's
what
I
do
I
work
for
new
ecology,
I,
do
testing
I'm
in
buildings
all
day,
I'm,
dirty
all
the
time
and
and
when,
when
one
more
thing
I'd
like
to
say
so,
I
noticed
that
when
I'm,
because
I'm
from
Dorchester
this
is
this
is
when
I'm,
when
I'm
at
work.
Everyone
at
work
doesn't
look
like
me.
H
You
know
we
need
to
employ
our
community,
not
saying
I
mean
there's
enough
for
everyone,
but
let's
start
off
by
employing
our
community,
because
I
know
some
very,
very
bright
people
that
can
do
this
work.
Even
without
the
schooling
never
mind.
If
you
give
them
the
opportunity
to
get
the
education,
they
can
do
it
without
the
education.
F
You
all
hear
me:
yes,
okay,
good
morning,
chair
Laura
and
board
members
I'm
happy
to
be
here
with
you
guys
today
try
to
be
as
brief
as
possible.
My
name
is
Lavette
Jacobs
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Boston
doing
Justice
specifically
I
currently
reside
in
Brighton
from
graduating,
at
Hyde
Park
High,
to
raising
my
son
in
Roxbury
briefly
and
pushing
him
through
the
charter
school
match
system.
F
F
Within
my
local

sit
on
the
women's

More
excuse
me
as
a
Birdo,
Review
Board
member
I,
truly
believe
that
I
can
bring
some
great
ideas
and
enthusiasm
to
the
table.
With
my
construction
background,
I
also
feel
like
I
offer
a
different
vantage
point.
F
Thank
you
to
Community
laborers
United's.
Only
my
sweater,
even
though
he's
gone,
I
didn't
get
a
chance
to
say.
Thank
you
to
him
for
the
nomination.
I
would
like
to
say
thank
you
to
Mayor
Wu
for
the
appointment
and
I
look
forward
to
serving
with
the
best
of
my
ability
and
working
alongside
some
amazing
people.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you
good
morning,
chair
Laura
and
members
of
the
committee.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
testify
before
the
Boston
city
council
this
morning.
For
the
record,
my
name
is
Stephen
Ellis
and
I
will,
by
the
opportunity
to
serve
on
the
city
of
Boston
and
argue
Alberto
review
board
to
provide
a
background
on
who
I
am
I
have
been
a
resident
of
Brighton.
For
the
last
five
years,
I
became
a
Boston
transplant
from
New
York
City.
I
Eight
years
ago,
I
served
as
a
director
of
data
analytics
for
the
sustainability
team
at
Boston
University,
where
I
have
worked
for
over
four
and
a
half
years.
In
addition
to
my
role,
I
currently
serve
as
a
member
of
the
star
stem
committee,
a
sustainability
performance
reporting
framework
from
the
association
with
the
advancement
of
sustainability
in
higher
education,
also
known
as
issue.
I
My
work
involves
leading
the
youth
sustainability
data
analytics
and
Reporting
related
to
the
University's
climate
action
plan
and
civil
waste
plan.
This
includes
being
the
University's
primary
liaison
and
reporter
Roberto
2.0,
since
joining
bu
I
have
been
involved,
with
reporting
under
Roberto
1.0
participated
in
developing
photo
regulations
and
provided
a
higher
education
perspective
on
the
challenges
and
opportunities,
while
complying
with
the
ordinance
in
my
professional
roles.
I
strive
to
provide
data
integrity
and
offer
in
an
environmental
justice
lens
to
climate
action
Frameworks.
I
In
my
experience
in
sustainability
in
higher
education
and
climate
action
goes
back
almost
10
years
before
it's
bu
I
worked
with
second
nature:
a
non-profit,
a
national
non-profit,
supporting
higher
education,
education
institutions
to
accelerate
climate
action
through
bold
commitments
and
Reporting,
as
the
climate
programs
manager
for
second
nature.
I
reviewed
and
supported
the
climate
leadership
commitments
of
over
500
colleges
and
universities
and
evaluated
their
greenhouse
gas
inventories,
as
well
as
their
resilient
plan.
I
A
A
To
start
first
with
Miss,
Jacobs
and
Miss
Boyd,
because
it
is
absolutely
incredible
and
not
lost
on
me
that
the
two
members
of
representing
the
labor
unions
here
are
black
women,
and
so
thank
you
for
all
of
your
work.
It
is
a
definitely
a
different
time.
You
know
in
a
brand
new
Whole,
New
World,
so
I'm
very
grateful
to
have
you
two
here
and
so
my
question
for
the
two
of
you,
given
that
at
least
here
at
this
hearing,
I
know
that
we
have
other
folks
that
we
have
to
confirm.
A
You
are
representing
Labor
I
think
it
would
be
the
same
question
that
I
asked
we
and
Gail
like
one
of
the
things
about
decarbonization,
especially
these
regulations
around
buildings
is
the
ongoing
conversation
is.
What
is
the
impact
that
it's
going
to
have
on
workers?
Okay,
so
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
your
vision
is
for
a
transition
away
from
fossil
fuels?
To
kind
of
like
this
green
initiative,
specifically
for
labor
movement,
me.
F
Okay,
my
mic
is
also
I'll,
go
first,
I'm,
hoping
that
it
will
be
smooth
and
equally
informative
transition.
I
know
with
me
working
with
electrical
to
speak
to
what
Rashida
was
saying
earlier.
A
lot
of
the
times
like
guys
are
just
and
not
to
say
that
it's
just
a
God
thing,
but,
let's
be
honest,
we
work
in
a
predominantly
male
field.
Guys
are
pretty
much
setting
their
ways
so
being
around.
You
know
whether
you're
roughing
a
building
and
you're
working
with
asbestos,
or
you
know,
fiberglass
that
can
come
from
insulation.
F
So
my
goal
is
for
it
to
be
as
informative,
informative
as
possible
and
like
stressing
the
importance
of
it
because
a
lot
of
guys
well,
people
I,
should
say
I'm,
just
naturally
chained
to
say
guys,
but
a
lot
of
people
don't
understand
the
importance
of
efficiency
and
working
safely
and
thinking
towards
the
future
I'm
young
ish.
So
my
generation,
we
tend
to
live
in
the
now
and
we
don't
Focus
so
much
on
the
future.
So
that's
my
goal
to
make
sure
that
you
know
people
are
focusing
on
today
and
also
thinking
about
tomorrow.
H
H
So
when
we're
when
we're
going
into
new
constructions-
and
you
have
your
electricians,
your
Carpenters,
even
your
the
managers,
the
contract
managers
and
the
trailer
they
don't,
they
don't
want
to
hear
it,
but
it's
cold,
it's
cold,
and
that's
why
I
that's
why
I
sometimes
like
when
they
come
in,
while
we're
doing
our
blower
door
test
while
we're
doing
our
ventilation
test,
and
then
you
crack
a
window
and
they
see
them.
They
they
see
it
because
if
you
don't,
this
is
fairly
new.
This
is
new.
H
We
were
so
comfortable
in
our
comfort
and
we
didn't
realize
that
the
ozone
layer
was,
we
didn't
realize
it.
We
just
wanted
to
be
comfortable
right
now,
so
I
always
have
a
little
bit
of
patience
because
it's
new,
not
everyone,
not
everyone
is
aware
of
what
I'm
aware
of,
even
if
they
are
in
the
trade,
so
I
just
talked
to
them
and
it's
cold.
They
have,
you
know
they
have
to
do
it
and
I
show
them.
This
is
why
you
have
to
do
it.
You
know
some
of
the
guys.
H
Well,
I'm
I'm,
the
only
woman,
so
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
the
guys.
They
don't
want
to
hear
it
from
me.
Anyways,
never
mind
me
trying
that
enforce
something
on
them,
but
I've
noticed
that
as
time
from
the
beginning,
when
I
started
until
now,
they're
warming
up
to
it
I
think
it
would
be
a
good
transition.
Everyone,
it's
new,
so
you're
gonna
have
your
resistance,
but
I
I,
see
I,
have
hope
and
I
see
it's.
H
A
This
is
what's
happening.
This
is
why
we
have
to
transition,
and
this
is
what
it
might
look
like,
and
so
it's
really
encouraging
to
hear
directly
from
people
in
the
labor
movement
that
that
is
that,
once
we
kind
of
go
over
that
Hill,
like
you
said
it's
something
new,
that
we
can
kind
of
start
moving
together
in
the
same
direction,
so
I
really
appreciate
it
so
Stephen.
This
question
is
for
you
and
you
answered
it
a
little
bit.
A
So
please
feel
free
to
you
know
if
it's
too
repetitive
but
I'm
really
interested
in
your
work
in
data
analytics.
So
can
you
talk
a
little
bit?
You
kind
of
answered
the
question.
While
you
were
giving
your
response,
can
you
tell
me
about
how
your
data
analysis
work
will
inform
your
work
here
on
this
review
board
at
all?
If
at
all,.
I
Yes,
sir,
thank
you
chair,
Laura
I,
you
know
specifically
related
to
Roberto.
You
know,
I
I
do
the
reporting
for
Boston
University,
and
you
know
we
have
over
100
buildings
associated
with
the
ordinance
or
subjectively
what
I
should
say
and
so
a
lot
of
the
work
involved.
You
know
working
with
various
stakeholders
as
well
in
working
with
the
vendors
that
provide
us,
the
energy.
You
know
to
ensure
that
our
information
is
accurate
and
and
and
and
is
able
to.
I
You
know,
be
submitted
on
time
report,
but
one
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
highlight,
specifically
with
respect
to
higher
education
or
any
other
large
properties
that
are
on
one
system,
a
centralized
system
or
one
meter.
It
can
become
a
bit
of
a
a
difficulty
in
trying
to
decide
how
to
report
on
new
buildings
individually.
So
at
Boston
University
we
have
elected
to
do
what
we
call
an
allocation
of
our
energy
to
represent
each
and
every
one
of
our
build.
I
It's
not
the
perfect
way
to
do
it,
because,
obviously,
all
building
types
have
different
types
of
usages
and
considerations
that
need
to
come
into
play.
Nevertheless,
that
is
where
we
start
and
I
I
continue
to
work
on
it
with
our
team
here
at
University
to
ensure
that
we
are
projecting
to
the
Future
to
submit
our
buildings.
So
I
hope
that
and
we'll
start
to
answer
your
question,
but
I
can
go
much
further
if
you
would
like.
A
No
I
think
that
that's
great
because
you
also
talked
a
little
bit
about
what
that
looks
like
at
bu,
so
I
was
able
to
get
some
insight.
Thank
you
so
much
and
Mr
Palmer
Dunning.
It
seems
at
least
for
the
folks
on
this
call.
You
and
Mr
Ellis
have
background
with
energy
codes
building
performance
standards.
So
can
I
extend
the
question
to
you
about
what
you're
looking
for,
as
this
review
board
is
going
to
be
really
be
focused
on
develop
and
regulation,
at
least
for
the
first
part
of
of
our
time
together?
G
So
I'll
be
looking
to
create,
like
a
robust,
robust,
a
robust
portfolio
of
information
for
Property
Owners
and
then
really
create
an
understanding
and
implementation
strategy
around
the
Equitable
emissions.
Investment
fund
I
see
that
as
like
a
really
a
really
important
tool

A
Thank
you
so
much
Mr,
Palmer,
Dunning
I
think
what
what
I'm?
What
I'm
hearing
is
that
this
review
board
is
really
going
to
benefit
from
the
depth
and
breadth
of
experience
that
we
have
representing
it
from
all
of
you.
So
I'm
really
grateful
to
be
doing
this
work
together.
I
I,
don't
have
any
further
questions
and
it
looks
like
the
my
other
console
colleagues
are
not
here
for
a
second
round
and
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
all
of
your
work.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
being
here
with
us
today.
A
At
this
moment
we
are
going
to
be
turning
the
floor
over
for
public
testimony.
If
you
are
here
for
public
testimony,
please
state
your
name
and
neighborhood
or
affiliation,
and
try
to
keep
your
comments
to
two
minutes
as
panelists.
You
are
more
than
welcome
to
stay
for
public
testimony.
Megan.
Do
we
have
anybody
signed
up
for
public
testimony
today?
I
was
just
going
to
say
no
public
testimony
today
beautiful,
so
we
have
no
public
testimony
at
this
moment.
I
believe
that
we
are
all
done.
