A
B
You,
madam
Clerk
I've,
been
informed
by
the
clerk
that
we
have
a
quorum
at
this
time.
I
would
like
all
councillors,
members
and
staff
and
guests
to
please
rise,
I'm,
going
to
invite
councillor
Wu
up
to
give
the
invocation
and
to
introduce
not
to
give
the
invocation
to
introduce
today's
clergy,
who
will
give
the
invitation
and
I
ask
that
everyone
remain
standing
as
we
do
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance
councillor
Wu.
C
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
good
morning,
everyone
I'm
very
honored
to
introduce
to
you
today.
Reverend
Ramona
Farley
from
metropolitan
Baptist
Church
in
Dorchester.
Reverend
Farley
is
a
native
of
Boston
who
grew
up
in
Dorchester
and
was
reared
by
her
late
grandmother,
she's
a
proud
mother
of
two
beautiful
children,
miracle
age,
15
and
David
age
14.
C
D
D
I
think
presence
along
with
voice
is
important
and
when
you're
absent,
then
there
is
no
voice.
Let
us
pray
gracious,
God
I!
Thank
you
for
this
time
in
which
you
have
called
and
assembled
us
here
to
this
place.
Oh
god
I.
Thank
you,
Lord
Oh
God,
even
for
the
opportunity
for
the
counselors
to
come
to
meet
so
bad
Lord,
God
I
ask
Oh
God
even
upon
those
who
are
visitors
and
Lord
those
who
are
just
sharing
an
ear.
D
Although
God,
how
to
stand
with
one
another
and
community
Oh
God
and
belonging
Lord,
God
I,
ask
o
God
that
the
issues
that
will
be
brought
upon
the
table
for
discussion
today-
oh
god,
that
first,
oh
god,
that
we
will
think
not
of
ourselves
Oh
God,
but
we
will
think
about
who
we
stand
for
and
Lord
God
as
counselors
Oh
God
counselors
stand
for
advocacies
counselors
stand
as
spokesperson.
Counselors
stand
as
ambassadors,
Oh
God
that
justice
might
be
served
for
all
lo
God.
D
Now
I
pray
your
blessing
upon
each
of
the
persons
in
this
place,
each
of
their
families
that
are
represented
lo
God,
whatever
their
struggles
may
be
whatever
lo
God
their
failings
may
be
no
God
wherever
they
may
not
even
understand
the
God
that
you
are
Lord
God.
Let
your
grace
and
your
love
abide
here
in
this
meeting.
Some
may
pray
in
another
name
that
they
know
you
by,
but
I
pray,
O
God
in
the
name
of
Jesus
Christ,
amen.
D
D
I
hope
that
you
will
pray
with
me
and
well
wishes
for
me
as
I
continue
to
change
the
world
as
it
is
right
now
in
terms
of
mental
illness
and
the
stigmatization
that
lies
within
our
communities
from
many
that
suffer
beyond
the
pews
in
our
communities
and
also
in
our
personal
homes
in
our
lives.
The
longer
we
keep
silent.
The
more
that
people
suffer
so
I
wish
you
well
in
this
meeting
this
afternoon.
I.
D
Thank
you
for
having
me
and
I
pray,
Godspeed
and
God's
wisdom,
because,
as
Solomon
in
the
Bible
as
he
got
ready
to
lead
as
king
and
God
said,
ask
of
him
anything.
He
wanted.
Solomon
asked
for
wisdom
and
so
James
the
book
of
James
tells
us.
If
you
lack
wisdom,
ask
of
it
and
God
will
give
it
without
fault.
God
bless
each
of
you.
B
Thank
you
again
for
Reverend
Farley,
and
and
thank
you
for
acknowledging
the
incredible
turnout.
We
have
at
today's
meeting
folks
at
home
often
can't
see,
but
we
do
have
a
pretty
packed
house
today.
So
thank
you
to
all
those
in
a
few
who
came
to
take
part
in
today's
meeting
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
invite
councillor
Malley
for
a
special
presentation.
Thank
you.
E
E
So
I
think
most
of
you
would
agree
that,
among
the
many
wonderful
parts
of
our
job,
job
is
getting
to
meet
wonderful
people
and
really
getting
to
hear
their
story,
and
nothing
could
be
truer
than
my
experience
with
bud.
Wait
bud
is
someone
who
I've
known
for
years,
just
through
the
neighborhood
he's
a
neighborhood
activist
who's
always
around
and
Bud
had
been
working
with
me
several
years
ago
to
honor
his
late
friend,
Betty
denna
camp
Betty
was
a
lady
Leatherneck.
She
joined
the
Marine
Corps
in
World
War
two.
E
She
was
a
native
of
West
Roxbury
served
with
honor
and
distinction
left
service,
but
still
was
an
active
participant
in
really
serving
providing
services
and
support
for
all
service
members.
She
passed
away
a
number
of
years
ago,
so
this
body
actually
put
forth
a.
We
couldn't
do
a
hero
square
dedication
because
miss
Donna
camp
didn't
pass
in
in
in
battle,
but
we
were
able
to
designate
an
outstanding
citizen
at
the
corners
of
Glen
Haven
Paragon
Road
near
the
Donna
camp,
family
homestead,
so
bud
being
such
a
selfless
individual.
E
He
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
his
friend
got
the
recognition
that
she
so
richly
deserved,
as
that
was
happening
I
later
found
out,
but
himself
who
had
a
legendary
career
serving
our
country
wearing
our
nation's
uniform
in
World
War
2.
He
was
a
army.
Corporal
was
slated
to
receive
the
French
Legion
of
Honor
Award,
a
very,
very
prestigious
award
in
counselor,
sabe,
George
and
I
joined
bud
and
his
family
and
countless
friends
and
acolytes
in
West
Roxbury
at
the
Stratford
Street
Church
in
December,
and
it
was
just
such
an
amazing
experience.
E
Bud
was
born
in
Millis
Massachusetts.
He
enlisted
in
the
army
during
World
War
two.
He
served
in
Company
L,
the
260th
infantry
regiment
of
the
65th
Infantry
Division,
which
was
known
as
the
battle
ax
division
from
July
of
1944
through
July
of
1945
bud,
spent
16
months
stationed
as
an
automatic
rifleman
in
France
Germany
in
Austria,
after
arriving
in
Metz
France,
the
260th
Infantry
Regiment
joined
General,
Patton's,
Third
Army
and
attempt
to
breach
the
Siegfried
line,
and
he
obviously
the
rest
as
they
say,
is
history.
E
As
the
French
Legion,
the
French
consulate
came
to
Boston
to
really
bestow
the
honor
on
bud
with
the
French
Medal
of
Honor.
It
was
a
gentleman
who
was
there
whom
but
didn't
know
whom
I
didn't
know
West
Roxbury
resident.
His
name
was
Walter
Mischel
au
and
he
spoke
about
how
he
grew
up
in
France
remembers
in
the
mid
1940s.
Seeing
American
troops
rolled
by
his
family
then
escaped
France
began
a
new
life
in
the
United
States.
E
He
subsequently
met
his
wife,
who
was
in
a
refugee
camp
during
World
War
two
at
the
time
he
became
an
American
citizen.
He
joined
the
Air
Force
and
he
just
wanted
to
come
by
and
say
thank
you
to
bud
a
person
who
he
lives
less
than
a
mile
away
from
whom
he
had
never
met,
who
very
much
because
of
buds
actions
and
others
of
the
greatest
generation
saved
this
man's
life
at
a
very
young
age.
E
It's
just
remarkable,
so
you
know
I
just
wanted
to
bring
bud
by
today
to
thank
him
again
to
make
sure
that
he
knows
how
proud
this
council
is.
How
proud
this
city
is
of
him.
He
is
a
true
son
of
Boston,
an
amazing
man,
and
we
are
incredibly
grateful
for
your
service,
your
sacrifice
and
all
that
you
continue
to
do
so.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
please
join
me
in
recognizing
Bud,
Wade
I.
F
Well,
the
best
I
can
say
is
to
say
that
I
was
there,
and
so
but
I
am
so
pleased
and
honored
to
be
invited
here.
This
is
amazing.
This
the
first
time
I
ever
came
to
a
council
meeting
for
sure
and
but
I
all
I
can
say
is
just
thank
you.
Thank
you
to
everyone.
Everyone
has
been
so
good
and
so
great
for
me
anyway.
Thank
you.
A
B
G
Thank
You
Madame
president,
and
thank
him
out
for
that.
That
was
very
nice
and
but
it's
always
wonderful
to
see
you
today,
I'm
very
excited
to
recognize
the
organizer
of
the
winter
walk.
The
winter
walk
is
a
special
event
that
works
to
raise
resources
for
Boston's,
homeless,
shelters
I.
Invite
you
to
join
me,
along
with
the
thousand
registered
walkers,
this
Sunday
at
8:30
a.m.
in
Copley
Square
for
the
second
annual
winter
walk
as
the
chair
of
the
Committee
on
homelessness,
mental
health
and
recovery.
G
It
is
so
important
to
me
to
continue
to
support
those
making
strides
towards
ending
homelessness.
I
invite
with
me
today
Ari
Barbra,
now
the
founder
and
executive
director
of
this
special
event.
Ari
and
I
had
the
pleasure
of
teaming
up
last
week
with
folks
from
the
New
England
home
for
veterans
to
participate
in
the
cap.
The
homeless
count
along
with
councillor
Edwards
and
councillor
Finn
Flynn,
and
it
is
really
I
refer
to
it
as
an
incredible
event.
G
Unfortunately,
we
have
to
do
things
like
the
homeless
count,
but
it
really
is
a
powerful
time
to
spend
with
folks
like
Ari
thinking
about
those
that
are
most
vulnerable
and
today
it
gives
me
an
opportunity
to
recognize
our
a
and
the
work
she's
doing
to
help
the
agencies
that
are
doing
some
incredible
work.
So
I'd
like
to
introduce
Ari
to
say
a
few
words
about
Sunday's
winter
rock
yeah,.
H
Thank
you
so
much
to
councillor
sabe
Georgian
to
all
of
you
for
inviting
me
here
and
I
bring
things
from
our
winter
walk
committee
I'm
just
of
many
who
have
come
together
to
make
this
happen.
The
winter
walk
is
indeed
this
Sunday
starting
at
8:30
a.m.
on
Copley
Plaza.
We
gather
together
to
raise
awareness
and
funds
towards
an
end
to
homelessness
and
Greater
Boston.
H
It's
a
really
special
and
meaningful
event,
and
the
best
part
is
that
a
hundred
percent
of
proceeds
that
we
raise
through
people
walking
and
donating
go
back
to
incredible
partner
organizations
that
are
giving
direct
service
to
our
city's
homeless
population.
This
year
we
are
supporting
Boston
healthcare
for
the
homeless
program
bridge
over
troubled
waters,
brookview
house.
H
Jim
O'connell
from
Boston
healthcare
for
the
homeless
program
on
Pine
Street
Ian's
outreach
man
that
goes
out
overnight
and
cares
for
people,
and
he
met
a
man
on
the
street
and
boldly
said
what
keeps
you
out
here
and
the
man
said
to
him:
I'm,
bipolar
and
circumstances.
Don't
allow
me
to
manage
that
disease
so
that
I
can
hold
a
job.
Paul
English
is
very
open
about
also
facing
the
challenge
of
bipolar
disorder,
and
he
realized
in
that
moment
that
in
one
turn
of
the
dial,
that
could
be
him
out
on
the
street.
H
So
we
come
together
to
think
about
that.
To
say
that
this
can
happen
to
anyone
that
people
experiencing
homelessness
are
human
beings,
their
brothers
and
sisters,
and
mothers
and
fathers,
and
sons
and
daughters,
and
we're
going
to
walk
together
on
Sunday,
February
11th
and
then
hopefully
take
action
from
there
and
work
together
to
end
homelessness,
because
we
truly
believe
that
ending
homelessness
is
within
our
reach,
so
we're
so
grateful
to
the
city
of
Boston.
The
work
you
do
towards
this
cause
is
really
incredible
and
we
hope
that
all
of
you
will
join
us.
H
You
learn
more
at
winter,
walk,
Boston,
org,
I
know.
Many
of
you
are
very
active
on
social
media.
If
you
want
to
share
a
little
information
about
us,
there's
plenty
of
time
to
register
and
walk
with
us,
it's
a
really
thoughtful
day.
It's
an
emotional
day.
It's
a
fun
day
we
celebrate
being
together
and
caring
about
this.
We
don't
want
to
walk
together
for
too
many
more
years,
so
I
hope
to
see
you
Sunday
and
we'll
keep
going
from
there
and
thank
you
so
much.
G
So,
on
behalf
of
the
Boston
City
Council,
we
recognize
the
winter
walk
for
their
efforts
to
raise
awareness
in
supporting
organizations
providing
services
to
those
experiencing
homelessness
in
Greater
Boston
and
be
it
resolved
that
the
Boston
City
Council
hereby
express
its
gratitude.
Congratulations
and
best
wishes
for
this
weekend
like
to
invite
my
colleagues
up
for
a
quick
photo.

you.

B
E
You,
president,
the
Boston
climate
action
plan
has
an
aggressive
goal
of
having
the
city
lower
its
greenhouse
gas
emission
rates
by
25
percent
by
2020,
which
shockingly
is
two
years
from
now,
as
well
as
eighty
percent
or
carbon
neutral
by
2050,
which
is
thirty
two
years
from
now
ambitious
goals.
I
support
them
wholeheartedly,
I
would
venture
a
guess.
E
Most
of
you
do
too,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
we
need
to
do
more
to
reach
and
exceed
those
goals,
because
we're
not
there
yet
now,
this
body
has
led
on
a
whole
host
of
issues
and
I'm,
so
proud
of
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
working
alongside
all
of
us
together
to
achieve
these
goals.
But
when
we
talk
about
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
how
to
deal
with
them,
we
really
have
to
get
to
the
root
of
the
cause.
Now,
what
is
that
simple?
E
It's
construction,
houses,
buildings,
dwellings,
state
freestanding
freestanding
buildings,
contribute
to
over
50
percent
of
our
greenhouse
gas
emission
rates
every
year.
Now
we
are
in
the
midst
of
a
building
boom
in
the
city,
where
there
are
billions
of
dollars
worth
of
new
development
happening.
So
how
do
we
encourage
those
owners
to
build
and
more
environmentally
sustainable
and
more
environmentally
friendly
buildings?
E
Well,
there's
a
whole
host
of
things
that
we
can
do
not
the
least
of
which
is,
you
know,
working
with
the
BPD,
a
working
with
different
developers
working
with
our
trades
union
working
with
neighborhood
groups.
Now,
we've
all
been
through
a
number
of
holes,
particularly
my
fellow
district
councillors.
When
a
new
development
comes
in
from
the
neighborhood,
we
often
work
closely
with
them
to
increase
their
affordable
housing
stock,
very
important
to
increase
green
space
and
open
space
or
some
community
space
for
the
neighborhood,
also
very
important,
but
we
need
to
be
having
a
conversation.
E
E
Now
this
is
a
reef
Isle
of
an
order
that
I
did
last
fall,
I
believe
in
on
December
11th
of
2017
we
held
a
hearing
where
I
can
remember,
is
a
very
busy
day,
I
believe
it's
the
day
of
our
luncheon,
with
the
Boston
Municipal,
Research
Bureau
and
nevertheless,
most
of
you
attended
the
hearing
spent
some
time
at
the
hearing,
and
then
councillors
elect
Edwards,
Flynn
and
Janey
all
came
by
to
observe
the
hearing
as
well.
So
I
know
this
is
an
issue
that
everyone
here
feels
very
very
strongly
about.
We
didn't
take
action.
E
Obviously
we
have
nothing
no
actionable
items
to
take
at
this
point,
but
I'm
reintroducing
it
today,
so
that
we
can
continue
this
conversation
airing
that
we
held
in
December
of
last
year
was
incredibly
insightful
and
I
wanted
to
thank
folks
from
the
Environment
Department,
the
green
ribbon
Commission,
the
BP
da,
the
Clean
Energy
Coalition,
which
has
been
the
driving
force
behind
this.
The
BCC
Mothers
out
front,
of
course,
in
Boston,
Medical
Center
BMC
has
committed
and
they
are
on.
Their
pay
will
exceed
this
goal
of
being
carbon
neutral
by
28
by
the
end
of
2018.
E
So
I'm
talking
nine
ten
months
from
now,
we
will
have
one
of
our
major
health
institutions
being
carbon
neutral
and
hospitals
and
health
centers
have
really
led
the
way.
So
we
I
don't
need
to
remind
everyone
how
susceptible
we
are
to
the
impact
of
climate
change,
to
rising
sea
levels
and
extreme
weather.
So
it's
time
that
we
really
lead
in
innovative
and
sustainable
new
solutions.
Cambridge
Mass,
Austin,
Texas,
Fort,
Collins,
Colorado
and
Palo
Alto
California
have
already
successfully
implemented
Net
Zero
strategic
plans.
E
What
we
are
seeking
to
do
today
is
continue
the
next
conversation
and
to
build
Boston's
Net
Zero
action
plan.
This
is
easy:
I'm
not
looking
to
penalize.
People
are
not
looking
to
to
necessarily
retrofit
old
buildings.
We've
actually
done
a
lot
of
the
work
in
this
body
through
the
passage
of
the
Boston
energy
reporting
and
Disclosure
ordinances
or
beardo,
as
we
did
back
in
2012.
This
is
the
next
step.
As
we
talk
about
new
construction,
how
can
we
work
with
folks
to
build
more
environmentally
friendly
buildings
and
dwellings?
E
Oftentimes,
as
I
have
said,
time
and
time
again,
it's
not
only
good
for
the
environment
but
good
for
the
customer
good
for
the
consumer.
We've
seen
it
we've
seen
so
many
instances
where
renewable
infrastructure
such
as
PV
panels
such
as
working
on
the
envelope
of
a
building
to
make
sure
that
the
heating
is
able
to
sustain,
actually
saves
money
in
the
long
run,
yeah
pretty
close
to
after
it's
being
built.
So
this
is
an
exciting
conversation.
I
want
us
to
continue.
E
This
is
really
a
way
that
we
can
meet
and
achieve
our
goals,
because
we
ain't
doing
it
until
we
get
to
something
with
a
little
more
heft
on
the
books,
and
it's
really
another
way
that
this
body
can
lead
having
more
environmentally
sustainable.
Building
going
forward
is
not
only
good
for
the
end,
which,
of
course
it
is,
it
will
be
good
for
the
ratepayer.
It
will
be
good
for
the
city
and,
most
importantly,
it's
the
right
thing
to
do
so.
Please
join
me
once
again
in
supporting
this
effort.
E
C
C
The
office
of
urban
mechanics
had
announced
that
there
will
be
now
an
RFI
available
to
look
at
a
lot
of
city
parcels
libraries,
community,
centers
parking
lots
and
how
we
might
be
able
to
add
affordable
housing
to
those
components
if
we're
looking
at
City
City
footprint
of
a
municipally
owned
building
and
potentially
adding
construction.
On
top
of
that,
let's
make
sure
that
right
away
we're
talking
about
what
standards
should
be
there
for
green
construction,
energy
efficiency,
etc.
Thank.
B
You
Thank
You
council.
Would
you
like
to
add
your
name?
Please,
madam
clerk?
If
you
could
add
a
councillor
woo
councillor,
co-moh
councillor,
Edwards,
councillor,
asabi,
George,
councillor,
Flaherty,
councillor,
Flynn,
councillor,
Janey,
councillor,
McCarthy,
councilor,
Pressley,
counter
Zakim
and
the
chair
councillor
bakery
up
to
for
you.
J
Madam
president
and
I
just
want
to
commend,
commend
the
author
of
this
one
here.
I
would
like
to
sign
on,
but
I
would
also
like
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
a
keen
eye
and
make
sure
that
we
don't
drive
the
prop
the
the
cost
of
building
up.
I.
Think
there's
a
way
to
do
this
by
paying
attention
to
it
that
we
can
make
the
the
the
smart
building.
If
we,
if
we
build,
if
we're
intelligent
about
it,
we
can
not
necessarily
increase
the
cost
of
building.
J
That
makes
sense
too,
because,
if
we're
increasing
the
cost
of
building,
then
it's
more
difficult
for
for
affordable
units
or
more
difficult
to
build
things.
So,
although
I
totally
agree
with
that,
I
I
think
we,
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we're
keeping
an
eye
on
the
cost
of
building
and
and
not
try
not
to
drive
the
cost
of
building
up.
But
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
for
this
council
O'malley
Thank.
B
C
You
so
this
is
a
hearing
order.
That's
meant
to
start
a
conversation
about
how
we
should
be
thinking
about
data
collection
across
the
city.
We
are
now
living
in
a
world
where
everywhere
we
go,
our
phones
are
connected
to
things
that
are
collecting
information.
All
every
website
we
visit
every
every
you
know
place.
We
every
time
we
park
our
car
and
pay
the
meter
that
is
being
logged
and
kept
somewhere.
That's
for
that's
great
that
there's
technology.
Now,
that's
helping
us
deliver
city
services
more
efficiently
and
more
responsibly.
C
We
also
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
with
all
of
this
data
collection,
we're
also
remembering
civil
liberties
and
privacy
rights,
so
I
think
the
the
two
departments
that
came
to
my
mind
as
we
were
thinking
about
this-
we're
the
Austin
Police
Department
and
the
Transportation
Department
thinking
about
ways
that
we're
collecting
information
about
residents
through
cameras
or
sensors
or
other
online
information,
and
every
time
we've
interacted
with
the
departments.
It's
been
a
great
conversation
about.
C
How
do
we
come
to
the
community
agree
on
a
policy
that
works
that
talks
about
data
retention
who
has
access
all
of
these
issues
that
get
wrapped
up
into
information
gathering
and
we
settle
on
a
great
policy
I
think
body
cameras
has
been
one
example
with
your
leadership
that
the
Boston
Police
Department
Commissioner
Evans
from
day.
One
said
we
want
this
to
be
something
that
works
for
community,
that
increases
trust,
but
there
are
going
to
be
more
technologies
every
day.
C
New
ways
of
collecting
and
compiling
information
come
together.
So
I
want
to
talk
about
the
process
of
how
do
we
set
a
policy
that
has
a
standard
framework
for
what
questions
need
to
be
asked
every
time
a
new
surveillance
technology
or
information
gathering
technology
is
considered
across
any
city
department.
We've
been
very
successful
at
this
already
and
I
think
it's
time
just
to
take
one
step
back
and
think
big
picture
about
all
the
things
that
will
come
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
K
B
Mccarthy
I'll
quickly
just
add
Thank
You,
councillor
moon
and
councillor
McCarthy
for
your
partnership
on
this
I
think
the
body
cameras
are
a
great
example
of
being
able
to
roll
out
a
policy
that
is
balanced,
that
in
understands
the
need
for
technology
and
certain
tools,
but
at
the
same
time,
balancing
that
with
private
keys
privacy
concerns
so
Thank,
You
counsel
and
councillor
McCarthy.
Anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter.
L
Wanted
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership,
both
you
councillor,
Campbell
and
camp
counselor
wu.
I
I
wanted
and
also
councillor
McCarthy
for
your
leadership
and
really
engaging
us
in
a
very
important
conversation.
I.
Think
for
me,
why
I'm
really
excited
about
this
is:
is
it's
about
increasing
the
trust
that
we're
gonna
have
with
our
law
enforcement
officers
I'm,
particularly
one
hopeful
that
our
discussion
will
come
down
to
really
analyzing
how
we
discuss
how
the
community
is
actually
monitoring,
how
we're
being
monitored?
L
Think
it's
really
it's
the
time
that
we
actually
have
that
conversation,
especially
with
the
increased
technology.
So
again,
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
Thank
You
councillor,
oh
and
thank
you.
Servant
hardly
counts.
B
Arduous,
would
you
like
to
add
your

A
C
Vocational
education
has
been
in
the
news
even
more
lately.
Our
President
Trump
has
been
speaking
of
it
frequently
from
his
State
of
the
Union
address
and
other
meetings,
but
have
talking
about
it
in
a
very
siloed
narrow
way.
So
I
think
it's
time
for
the
city
of
Boston
to
continue
showing
that
we
can
put
forth
the
best
model
of
something
that
connects
our
residents
with
opportunity
with
economic
development
with
jobs
of
the
future
vocational
education.
C
Today
is
yes
about
teaching
students,
those
skills
that
give
them
an
alternative
pathway
to
traditional
college,
but
it's
also
preparing
students
who
still
want
to
get
a
secondary
degree
in
a
very
technical
field.
We
see
some
of
the
best
examples
across
the
country
right
here
in
Massachusetts
and
in
the
Commonwealth.
So
I
would
hope
that,
with
this
docket,
my
co-sponsors
and
I
can
kind
of
take
us
on
a
road
show
to
visit
some
other
sites
across
the
state,
learn
from
them
and
bring
some
of
that
learning
back
to
Boston.
We
have
a.
C
G
I
find
it
hard
to
believe
that
the
City
of
Boston
still
only
has
one
vocational
school
and
that's
Madison,
Park,
High,
School
and,
unfortunately,
the
gap
in
what
we,
the
gap
in
excellence,
of
what
we
provide
at
Madison
still
exists,
and
we
need
to
do
more
as
a
city
for
those
students
and
the
students
across
the
city.
This
is
a
conversation
that
many
of
us
have
had
with
each
other
and
with
members
in
the
community
across
the
city
for
a
very
long
time.
G
G
It
needs
to
be
a
state-of-the-art
building
that
provides
the
skills
that
our
students
need
out
when
I
went
to
high
school
in
Boston
I
went
to
Boston
Tech
and
although
I
was
always
on
that
sort
of
traditional
college
track,
we
were
able
to
participate
in
sheet
metal
and
electronics
and
drafting
and
I
talk,
sometimes
about
the
mailbox.
That's
on
my
house.
That's
the
mailbox
I
made
in
high
school
and
that
skill
set.
G
It
wasn't
something
that
I
I'd
pursue
later
on,
but
it
gave
me
confidence
in
the
rest
of
my
academics
and
I
think
it's
so
important
that
we
are
making
sure
that
Madison
can
provide
a
rigorous
vocational
education
to
enhance
the
academic
education
that
our
kids
deserve.
But
we
also
have
to
talk
about
how
this
can
also
be
offered
at
other
schools
across
the
city
of
Boston,
so
that
kids
can
still
get
their
hands
dirty
and
traditional
and
non-traditional
vocational
education.
So
I
look
forward
to
this
hearing.
G
M
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
just
come
in
the
makers
of
this
and
appreciate
the
points
that
have
already
been
made
and
just
wanted
to
express
my
appreciation
that
in
the
first,
whereas
that
we
have
included
the
culinary
arts
very
often
when
we're
talking
about
Madison
Park
and
the
need
to
make
a
greater
investment
to
make
this
the
flagship
to
make
this
the
model
we're
often
a
one-note
in
the
trades
that
we're
talking
about
Madison
Park
used
to
be
the
feeder.
Both
their
school
nursing
program.
M
I
also
want
to
cite
and
named
their
cosmetology
and
beauty
school
as
well
as
automotive
and
building
and
all
the
other
things.
So
specifically,
I
just
wanted
to
just
how
much
I
appreciate
that
the
culinary
arts
I
was
named
in
there.
This
was
at
one
point
the
premier
feeder
school.
It
should
be
that
again
and
before
we
think
about
expanding
vocational
education,
we
need
to
make
good
on
our
promises
to
Madison
Park,
and
it
needs
to
be
the
flagship.
M
But
every
study
has
supported
that
you
have
got
to
make
a
greater
financial
investment,
so
it's
not
just
about
the
facilities.
It's
not
just
about
the
training.
It's
not
just
about
the
partnerships.
We
have
got
to
sign
on
to
spending
more
money
per
pupil
in
order
for
us
to
really
actualize
a
premier
vocational
school.
Thank
you,
Thank.
E
E
You,
my
name
is
well
think
wanted
to,
of
course,
come
in
the
makers:
counselors
whoo,
asabi,
George
and
Janey
for
their
leadership
on
this.
This
is
exciting
and
I
really
think.
Not
only
is
it
going
to
help
invest
a
school
in
a
system
that
will
benefit
greatly,
but
as
we
talk
about
sort
of
the
VOC
skills
of
the
future,
I
hope
that
that
we
also
talk
about
green
jobs.
The
fastest
growing
economy
is
the
green
economy.
These
jobs
pay
well
and
we
need
people.
E
We
need
smart
people,
young
people,
to
really
take
an
interest
in
these,
so
we
talk
about
building
retrofitting
or
mass
transit
or
wind
or
solar
tax,
so
many
opportunities
here
to
work
with
some
established
partners
and
really
build
those
relationships.
These
are
obviously
great
jobs,
well
paying
jobs
and
sorely
in-demand
jobs,
so
I'm,
nothing
if
not
consistent,
Madam
President.
Let's
make
sure
that
we
engage
the
green
community
as
well
to
really
help
this
help
this
this
wonderful
initiative,
growth.
Thank
you,
Thank.
B
You
council
Mellie,
madam
clerk,
if
we
could
add
councillor
O'malley's
name,
councillor
Edwards
councillor,
Flaherty
councillor,
Flynn,
councillor,
McCarthy
councillors,
AECOM
councillor
co-moh,
councillor
Baker,
as
well
as
the
chair,
docket
zero.
Two
six
five
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
education,
docket,
zero,
two
six,
six.
L
L
Despite
my
call,
despite
the
calls
from
the
mayor,
despite
calls
from
representative
Maduro,
despite
calls
from
senator
bond
quarry
and
I'm
sure,
many
of
you
here
today
to
say,
stop
treating
your
workers
with
lack
of
respect
and
dignity,
so
I'm
standing
here
and
supported
them
proudly
because,
again
to
strike,
is
to
be
seen
and
I
firmly
believe
in
respect
and
dignity.
I
stand
here.
L
Of
course,
with
the
incredible
32bj
and
the
many
members
who
stand
with
these
folks
ready
to
march
and
ready
to
stand
outside
in
the
cold
to
assure
that
they
receive
the
respect
and
dignity
that
they
deserve.
Higher
white
higher
wages
or
at
least
living
wages
are
basic,
and
the
fact
that
this
company
has
been
these
companies
have
been
operating
in
such
a
way
in
this
great
city
of
Boston
is
shameful.
L
We
as
a
city
council,
need
to
stand
together
and
say
that
that's
not
how
we
allow
business
to
be
done
here
so
before
I
move,
to
suspend
the
rules
and
to
to
adopt
this
resolution.
I
wanted
for
each
or
for
all
of
my
colleagues
of
my
brothers
and
sisters
in
the
City
Council
to
have
the
opportunity
to
also
express
their
support
for
this
resolution.
B
Thank
You
counselor
Edwards
those
wishing
to
add
their
name:
a
counselor
Baker
counselor,
co-moh,
counselor,
sabe,
Jorge,
counselor
flower,
tea,
counselor,
Flynn,
counselor,
Janie
counsel,
McCarthy
counsel,
O'malley,
councilor
Pressley
come
to
ruh
counselors,
a
calm
at
the
chair
as
well.
Madame
clerk
and
those
wishing
to
speak
I'll
try
to
take
you
in
order,
so
counselors
income.
You
have
the
floor.
Thank.
N
You,
madam
president,
Thank
You
councillor
Edwards,
for
your
words
and
for
bringing
this
forward,
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here
for
standing
up,
not
just
for
yourselves,
but
for
every
worker
in
the
city
of
Boston,
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
hearing
about
some
of
the
outrageous
behavior
by
ready
jet
and
FSS,
and
let's
not
let
JetBlue
off
the
hook,
either
they
often
and
they're,
not
alone
in
this,
using
as
a
cop-out
to
deal
these
people
don't
work
for
us
they're
subcontractors
that
is
baloney
to
use.
The
word
I
can
say
on
the
floor
here.
N
It
is
unacceptable
in
Massachusetts,
in
Boston,
in
a
city
that
values
all
of
our
people
in
their
work
and
fair
treatment.
To
say
that
you
know,
JetBlue
has
made
Logan
Airport
a
centerpiece
of
their
corporation
of
their
marketing
plans
of
their
revenue,
generating
of
the
business.
That's
doing
so
well
for
them,
and
they
need
to
treat
our
workers
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
properly.
And
that
means,
if
necessary,
cutting
ties
with
subcontractors
who
are
engaged
in
wage
theft.
N
Harassment,
intimidation
of
workers
who
are
standing
up
for
their
rights
and
I
just
want
to
say
without
a
shadow
of
a
doubt
that
here
in
Boston
all
we
stand
with
you.
We
will
stand
with
you
in
this
chamber
out
outside
of
this
building
on
the
streets
and
make
sure
that
we
have
fair
treatment.
32Bj
and
the
workers
who
are
here
today
have
done
incredible
work,
standing
up
for
yourselves
and
for
everyone
in
this
city,
and
we
stand
with
you.
N
It's
unacceptable
that
at
a
public
facility
like
Logan
Airport,
this
is
going
on
it's
bad
enough
when
we
don't
have
public
resources
in
these
situations,
but
we
do
have
here.
We
need
to
make
sure
the
pressure
is
brought
both
on
JetBlue,
as
the
you
know,
overarching
entity,
but
also
these
subconscious
subcontractors
to
treat
you
fairly
and
equitably.
So
thank
you
for
your
efforts.
We
stand
with
you
and
look
forward
to
obviously
adding
my
name
and
supporting
this
solution.
Thank.
M
M
I
want
to
thank
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
your
bravery,
because
we
recognize
that
you
are
risking
your
own
livelihoods
and
your
abilities
to
provide
for
your
families.
We
are
inspired
by
your
example.
We
are
grateful
for
your
service
and
the
many
contributions
that
you
make
to
this
city
and
32bj.
M
I
want
to
thank
you
for
making
sure
that
this
is
never
an
invisible
workforce
and
that
this
workforce
has
always
seen
that
their
families
are
always
saying,
and
so
today
again
we
affirm
as
a
value
that
you
are
deserving
of
better
and
nothing
about.
This
is
charitable.
It
is
simply
what
you
have
earned,
and
so
we
stand
in
solidarity
with
you
today,
and
we
will
continue
to
do
so
for
as
long
as
you
need
us.
B
O
Thank
you,
madam
president.
It
is
an
honor
for
me
to
speak
about
the
striking
workers
at
Logan,
Airport
I'd,
like
to
thank
council
Edwards
for
this
resolution
and
I'm
proud
to
support
it.
These
workers
are
exercising
their
right
to
organize
for
fear
in
living
wages.
They
are
symbolic
in
part
of
the
fabric
of
what
makes
Boston
great.
They
work
hard.
They
pay
taxes
and
they
struggle
like
all
of
us
to
raise
their
families
the
best
they
can.
They
are
seeking
to
be
treated
fairly
in
with
respect
and
dignity.
O
In
short,
they
are
making
social
and
economic
justice
and
these
the
same
workers.
What
these
are
the
same,
working
people
who
try
and
give
something
back
to
their
communities
growing
up
in
a
neighborhood.
Like
many
of
you,
you
learn
at
an
early
age
about
life's
challenges.
You
witness
this
story
play
out
time
and
time
again:
regular
people,
everyday
people
working
hard
serving
others
seeking
a
better
way
to
improve
the
lives
of
their
families.
O
People
like
a
Kathy
laughs,
atif
from
the
South
Boston
Neighborhood
House
people
like
her
and
so
many
others
who
keep
our
neighborhood
strong.
You
know
a
kids
active
focused.
You
know
on
the
right
path
when
we
talk
about
serving
others,
I
think
about
my
time
and
the
US
military,
both
on
active
duty
and
in
the
reserves.
O
This
experience
exposed
me
to
so
many
dedicated
people
affiliated
with
our
military,
whether
in
the
Persian
Gulf
were
assisting
troops
with
relief
efforts
in
Haiti
I.
Remember
that
devastation
of
that
earthquake
in
Haiti,
where
literally
thousands
of
people
were
killed
and
I'm
proud
of
the
response
of
the
US
government
I,
also
know
about
our
disabled
veterans.
The
struggles
they
have
as
well,
but
the
grit
and
the
determination
they
have
to
persevere
and
make
it
in
this
world.
Well,
we've
we
reflect
on
these
workers
today.
O
I
also
think
about
how
proud
I
am
of
our
trade
unions
in
the
labor
movement
here
across
the
country,
I.
Think
about
how
I
watch
the
courageous,
striking.
Let
him
shipyard
workers
stand
up
to
the
powerful
Communist
Soviet
troops
in
garance
Poland
during
martial
law.
This
had
a
profound
impact
on
me.
This
striking
union
workers,
their
motto
was
solidarity.
We
also
share
that
same
solidarity
with
the
striking
workers.
Today,
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
mention
that.
O
I
have
also
seen
the
spirit
of
the
of
these
working
people
and
the
many
dedicated
public
service
employees
in
first
responders
right
here
in
Boston.
They
do
their
best
oftentimes
in
very
difficult
situations
to
deliver
basic
city
services
to
help
make
life
better
for
the
residents
of
Boston
I
had
a
chance
to
work
closely
with
our
Boston
police
officers
as
a
probation
officer
across
the
street
at
Suffolk
Superior
Court.
O
O
Over
the
years,
I
met
police
officers
like
Tom
Scott,
Avila,
Saunders,
Bobby
Flynn,
many
others.
We
never
gave
up
on
the
people
of
Boston,
and
neither
will
I
in
my
neighborhood
have
I've
seen
heroic
in
Boston
firefighters
run
into
burning
buildings
to
help
save
the
life
of
an
elderly
or
handicapped
person.
I
can't
begin
to
tell
you
how
much
moving
is
to
hear
these
stories
about
of
our
professional
EMTs.
Rushing
to
the
scene
of
an
accident
transporting
people
to
the
hospital
over
the
years.
O
I've
also
seen
the
dedication
of
our
city
workers,
keeping
our
city's
streets
in
parks
clean.
Even
in
times
of
fiscal
constraint,
our
dedicated
city
employees
teach
our
children,
they
help
our
special
needs.
Children
oftentimes
using
their
own
money
on
supplies.
They
feed
the
hungry,
the
empty
our
trash
barrels
and
they
help
our
elderly.
We've
all
witnessed
this
dedication
and
professionalism.
O
B
Thank
You
counselor,
Flynn
and
Kari
I
have
to
thank
you
for
allowing
the
camera
frankly
to
span
to
see
the
presence
of
the
workers
who
have
joined
us
today,
as
I
think
councillor
Flynn
and
councillor
Edwards
said
it
best.
We
stand
with
you
and
I
think
everyone
added
their
names,
but
thank
you
for
being
here
today
on
a
cold
snowy
day.
Thank
you
for
bringing
the
little
die
and
being
here
as
well
with
him
and
at
this
time
councillor
Edwards
would
like
to
suspend
the
rules
and
adopt
docket
number
zero.
B
A
C
B
B
Room
moves
for
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
docket
zero,
two
six,
eight,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
duck
at
zero.
Two
six
eight
has
been
passed.
I
am
informed
by
the
clerk
that
there
are
two
late
file
matters
which,
in
the
absence
of
objection,
will
be
added
to
the
agenda.
These
are
two
personnel
orders
hearing
and
seeing
no
objections.
The
late
file
matters
have
been
added
to
the
agenda.
Madam
clerk,
if
you
could
read
the
first
late
file
matter,
February.
B
B
C
B
We'll
get
to
that
in
one
second,
okay,
sorry,
thank
you.
Anyone
wishing
to
pull
anything
from
the
green
sheets,
no
okay
and
on
to
the
consent
agenda,
will
actually
fold
that
late
file
into
the
consent
agenda,
so
we
actually
have
six
late
file
matters
which,
in
the
absence
of
a
Jacob
which,
in
the
absence
of
objection,
will
be
added
to
the
consent
agenda.
Seeing
and
hearing
no
objections,
the
late
file
matters
have
been
added
and
on
the
first
one
which
council
mood
just
spoke
of
counsel,
who
you
have
the
floor
to
say
some
words.
C
Horrified,
disturbed
by
the
the
news
about
the
USA,
Gymnastics
Association
and
what's
been
happening
with
dr.
Larry
Nasser
who's
now
been
convicted
and
sentenced.
I
want
to
thank
Ronnie
Jacobson
from
my
office,
who
is
a
gymnast
and
a
coach
and
took
personal
initiative
and
really
wanting
to
make
sure
that
the
counsel
spoke
on
this
issue
as
well.
C
We
know
from
what's
the
coverage
that
coaches
and
officials
and
amateur
athletic
organizations
have
not
been
mandated
reporters,
even
though
they
work
with
youth
on
a
regular
daily
basis
and
there's
now
federal
legislation
that
is
moving
through
the
pipeline,
changing
that.
So
this
is
just
a
resolution
to
support
that
and
emphasize
that
every
child
needs
to
be
safe
in
the
ways
at
the
city
of
Boston
interact
with
families
from
schools,
community,
centers
and
outside
in
extracurricular
activities
as
well.
Thank
you,
Thank.
M
Trying
to
bring
some
some
levity,
I
guess
for
a
second
to
such
a
a
somber
infuriating
thing:
I,
Thank,
You,
councillor
Wu
after
initiating
this
and
think
Ronni,
okay,
and
thank
you
Ronnie
for
bringing
it
forward.
Another
example
of
what
can
happen
when
you
have
the
talented
and
dedicated
people
that
we
have
in
our
offices
and
when
you
give
them
space
to
bring
a
full
their
full
contribution.
So
thank
you
Ronnie
for
that.
M
You
know
I'm
struggling
a
little
bit
only
because
as
pleased
as
I
am
that
there
is
this
elevated
consciousness
and
this
activism
in
this
space.
It
is
for
many
survivors,
a
trauma
trigger.
You
know
everything
that
is
happening
and
I'm
certainly
no
exception
to
that.
You
know
there
are
many
issues
that
are
brought
before
this.
This
is
this
body
that
some
have
considered
to
be
provocative
and
uncomfortable
and
third-rail.
M
You
know,
but
the
very
first
time
I
received
hate
mail
was
when
I
disclosed
that
I
was
a
survivor
of
campus
sexual
assault
and
I
was
called
a
liar
and
I
was
called
a
and
I
was
accused
of
trying
to
evoke
sympathy.
So
often
the
victim
is
blamed
in
these
situations,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
in
this
moment,
to
hold
space
for
and
to
elevate
and
to
thank
these
survivors
for
their
bravery
and
calling
out
this
manipulative,
predatory
man
who
betrayed
the
confidence
of
these
parents
who
entrusted
the
most
precious
thing
in
their
life.
M
To
someone
who
violated
that
so
egregiously.
And
it
is
only
right
that
that
monster
has
been
sentenced
to
40
to
175
years,
certainly
of
a
fitting
punishment
for
his
crimes.
Because
I
can
assure
you
that
those
victims
are
those
standing
very
bravely
in
that
courtroom
and
telling
their
stories
they
will
be
living
with
the
residual,
pain
and
brokenness
of
his
trauma
for
the
rest
of
their
lives.
As
I've
said
many
times
before,
I'm
guided
by
the
words
of
dr.
M
Whereas
this
law
would
extend
the
statue
of
limitations
and
at
least
open
the
pathways
for
victims
to
confront
their
abuser
and
define
some
justice
on
their
pathway
to
healing
in
closing,
in
the
words
of
our
clergy
or
earlier
today,
who
said
the
more
we
remain
silent,
the
more
people
suffer.
Thank
you.
Thank.
