C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
as
we
celebrate
as
we
celebrate
Black
History
Month
I'm
honored
to
have
pastor
Kiki
flourescent
from
the
voice
of
Tabernacle
Church
in
Mattapan
with
us
today.
In
addition
to
his
role
in
the
church,
pastor,
Flores
and
our
pastor.
Kiki
has
been
a
tireless
advocate
for
our
Haitian
community
as
chairman
of
the
board
of
directors
for
the
Haitian
American
United
organization,
especially
for
those
impacted
by
the
constant
attacks
to
temporary
protected
status
by
the
federal
government.
C
Boston
has
the
third
largest
Haitian
immigrant
population
in
the
United
States,
and
they
represent
one
of
our
strongest
immigration
immigrant
populations
here
in
the
city.
The
diversity
we
see
in
our
city
today
is
a
testament
to
the
countless
contributions
of
the
Haitian
community
to
our
culture,
our
history,
our
economy
and
so
much
more
as
an
at-large
city,
councilor
I'm
honored,
to
represent
such
a
diverse
and
vibrant,
thriving
community
I
would
like
to
thank
pastor
keke
for
his
dedication
in
his
leadership
to
empower
our
strong
Haitian
community.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
today.
D
Thank
you,
sir
very
much,
a
counselor
sob
George,
thank
you
and
I'm
President
Kim
Jenny,
and
thank
you
all
counselors
here
and
I'm.
So
grateful
had
felt
the
gratitude
for
all
of
you
and
also
for
accepting
me
to
come
in
this
dire
climate.
In
that
we
are
living.
That's
the
only
comfort
we
can
find
it's
only
from
the
Lord.
Let
us
pray
God,
our
Father.
You
know
how
we
are
all
tempted
daily
and
that
we
sin
against
you
every
day.
We
thank
you
that
Christ
has
died
for
our
past
present
and
future
sent
Holy
Spirit.
D
I
pray,
spiritual
protection
as
well
as
social
and
emotional
well-being
over
the
counselors
family
members,
spouses,
children,
siblings
relatives
and
parents
Lord.
May
you
continue
to
pour
out
your
blessings
upon
the
words
of
them
all
Holy
Spirit?
Please
protect
preserve
and
inspire
the
entire
municipal
team
in
our
city
and
give
them
the
wisdom
to
work
in
unity
toward
improving
the
quality
of
life
of
all
communities,
to
promote
and
defend
social,
economic
and
environmental
justice.
D
Father
I
pray
that
you
grant
them
your
understanding
to
work
together
for
your
glory
by
putting
people
first
and
to
put
away
all
selfish
differences
that
delay
the
work
that
is
clearly
needed.
Please
give
our
leaders
the
energy
they
need
to
do
the
work
you
have
called
and
appointed
them
to
do.
Father
I.
Thank
you
for
your
mercy.
Thank
you
for
your
compassion.
Thank
you
for
your
love
and
thank
you
for
your
servant
rule
over
us
all.
May
we
look
to
you
in
all
circumstances.
F
C
F
G
F
Nine-Week-Old
Coby
is
gonna
help
me
with
my
speech.
I.
Think
the
council
president
may
steal
her
from
me
before
we're
done.
Several
years
ago,
this
body
proclaimed
world
spay
and
neuter
day,
Awareness
Day.
This
is
something
that
began
in
1995
25
years
ago,
and
the
reason
why
I
began
is
because
there
was
a
real
issue
of
overcrowding
in
animal
shelters
where
animals
would
have
to
be
euthanized
at
the
rate
of
about
14
to
17
million
animals
per
year.
F
That
was
just
25
years
ago,
and
because
of
incredible
organizations
like
Angel
Memorial
and
the
MSPCA,
and
so
many
other
animal
welfare
groups,
we've
been
able
to
cut
that
number
down
to
about
2.7
million
pets
per
year.
So
think
about
that
remarkable
awareness
over
one
and
a
half
million
pets
have
been
spayed
or
neutered
each
year
and
that's
significantly
reduced
the
overpopulation
of
Ferrell's
and
strays.
It's
such
a
such
a
great
honor
to
represent
an
incredible
institution
like
the
MSPCA.
F
If
you
haven't
been
there
and
encourage
you
all
to
go
and
visit,
you
will
likely
not
leave
empty-handed
because
they
have
a
wonderful
shelter
as
well
and
they
provide
incredible
service
and
one
of
the
things
I
was
most
proud
of.
Passing.
As
a
councillor
was
the
puppy
mill
bill
which
this
body
passed
with
the
support
of
some
of
you.
It
would
have
been
all
of
you,
but
some
of
you,
weren't
serving
at
the
time
which
really
was
a
gold
standard,
has
led
the
way
to
municipalities
around
the
Commonwealth
it
of
now
following
suit.
F
So
we're
going
to
vote
on
this
I'm
being
a
little
bit
presumptuous
because
I'm,
assuming
we
will
vote
on
this
during
the
consent
agenda.
So
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
your
incredible
support
as
colleagues
on
all
things:
animal
welfare
and
wanted
to
invite
Alisa
Krieger,
the
community
outreach
manager
for
the
MS
PCA
for
just
a
minute
of
remarks
and
then
Kara
Holmquist,
the
director
of
advocacy
for
the
same
Kara
home.
H
On
behalf
of
the
MSPCA,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
us
here
today,
I'm
Kara
Holmquist,
the
director
of
BMS
PCA
I've,
been
at
the
MS
PCA
for
quite
a
while
and
have
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
many
of
you
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
those
of
you
who
are
recently
elected.
Congratulations.
We
brought
some
information
that
will
drop
off
in
your
offices
about
all
of
our
programs
at
the
MSPCA
Angell.
H
Our
hospitals
are
teaching
programs
to
train
students
in
high
school
to
become
veterinary
technicians
and
veterinary
assistants,
our
shelters
around
the
state,
and
certainly
just
up
the
street
in
JP,
we
are
advocacy,
work
our
law
enforcement
work
and
you'll
hear
more
today
from
Melissa
about
our
community
outreach
programs.
We
want
to
be
a
resource
for
you
and
your
constituents.
We've
had
really
productive
times
in
this
chamber
since
I've
been
at
the
MSPCA.
It's
a
pleasure
to
have
been
here
to
testify.
In
many
animal
issues,
dog
parks
stray
voltage.
H
We
even
advocated
against
breed
specific
legislation
in
the
early
2000s
and
as
councillor
O'malley
mentioned
my
favorite
time
here
was
in
2016
when
the
council
passed
and
the
mayor
signed
the
first
in
the
state
bill
to
be
on
the
commercial
sale
of
puppies
kittens
and
rabbits
and
pet
shops.
It
was
amazing
day
it
was
amazing
to
have
Boston,
be
the
first
municipality
and
there's
several
others.
We
were
in
Pittsfield
a
couple
weeks
ago
in
Pittsfield
passed
something
very
similar
to
Boston,
and
we
know
several
other
municipalities
are
following
Boston's
lead
at
this
year's
Town
Meeting.
H
So
we
thank
you
in
the
city
and,
of
course,
my
friend
councillor
O'malley
for
that
effort
and
all
your
efforts
on
behalf
of
animals.
We
also
have
a
couple
of
staff
members
that
are
now
serving
on
the
animal
care
Commission
in
the
city.
We
just
look
forward
to
working
with
you
to
better
this
and
for
for
our
animals
and
our
families
that
live
with
animals
and
care
about
them.
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Alisa
who's,
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
our
current
efforts
and
outreach
in
the
communities
in
Boston.
G
Hello,
Thank
You,
councillor,
Malley
and
Keira.
My
name
is
Alissa
Kruger
I'm,
our
community
outreach
manager.
This
is
Lola
one
of
the
loves
of
my
life.
We're
so
excited
to
be
here
today
on
behalf
of
the
MS
pcs
community
outreach
program.
As
councillor
O'malley
was
saying
25
years
ago,
shelters
were
overcrowded
and
spay
neuter
initiatives
helped
to
begin
decreasing
overpopulation
for
dogs
and
cats
and
as
spay
and
neuter
became
more
popular
and
low-cost
programs
became
more
made
it
more
accessible.
G
G
Many
shelters
are
taking
this
opportunity
to
import
animals
from
out
of
state
to
provide
animals
for
adoption,
but
at
the
MSPCA
we
are
committed
to
helping
the
animals
in
Boston.
First,
so
after
conducting
a
community
assessment
in
2018,
we
began
our
work
of
going
door-to-door
in
Dorchester
0
to
1
to
1
zip
code.
G
We
recognize
that
the
question
of
providing
that
care,
whether
it's
spay
neuter
vaccinations
or
emergency
care,
is
not
simply
a
question
of
whether
a
person
wants
those
services,
but
it's
also
a
question
of
access
and,
and
we've
been
working
really
hard
to
take
down
barriers
for
the
for
our
community.
We
provide
free,
spay
and
neuter
services
to
all
who
want
them
in
our
target
areas,
but
we
understand
that
cost
is
not
always
the
only
significant
barrier.
Renting
families
from
assessing
accessing
care
transportation
can
be
a
big
barrier,
especially
with
a
pet.
G
The
o2
one-to-one
zip
code
is
two
miles
from
our
shelter,
but
it
takes
at
least
a
half
an
hour
in
the
car,
and
many
of
our
clients
don't
have
cars,
so
it
could
take
up
to
an
hour
on
public
transportation
to
get
those
two
miles
if
you're
even
allowed
to
put
your
pet
onto
that
bus.
So
we
are
really
proud
to
provide
free
transportation
for
that
appointments
to
anybody
in
our
neighborhood
who
needs
it.
We
have
provided
transportation
for
221
animals,
including
a
little
chihuahua
named
Zeus.
G
Just
this
morning
before
we
came
here,
we're
also
proud
to
bring
back
care
into
the
community
by
hosting
vaccination
clinics.
We
allow
families
to
come
right
in
their
neighborhood
without
having
to
worry
about
transportation,
to
ask
that
questions
get
vaccinations
and
make
sure
that
they
have
what
they
need.
G
We're
also
really
proud
to
have
just
begun:
a
partnership
with
the
Mildred
C
Haley
community
in
JP,
that's
840
units
of
public
housing,
we're
doing
our
first
free
vaccination
clinic
there
this
weekend,
it's
through
creating
partnerships
like
that
that
we're
able
to
help
more
pets
to
stay
in
their
homes.
We
really
appreciate
the
support
of
the
City
Council
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
our
efforts
to
ensure
pets
in
Boston
have
the
care
that
they
need
and
can
stay
in
the
loving
families
with
their
in
their
homes.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
A
E
A
A
Also
want
to
acknowledge
that
we
have
young
people
in
our
chamber.
It's
really
important
that
we
make
sure
that
we
include
young
people
in
our
processes,
and
so
it's
amazing
to
see
our
young
people
getting
a
first-hand
glance
at
city
government
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
we
are
joined
by
Gro
girls,
which
stands
for
girls
reflecting
our
world.
This
is
a
mentorship
program
with
the
Boston
Police.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
Please
give
it
up
for
Global's.
A
A
Thank
you
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
now
onto
the
first

of

which
is

If
there
are
no
corrections
to
be
made,
the
minutes
of
the
last
meeting
will
stand
approved.
Seeing
and
hearing
no
objections
the

I

J

put
note
here,
the
city
adopt
when
the
city
adopted
the
CPA
are
sensitive
to
the
CPA.
91
projects
have
been
funded
across
the
city,
totaling
42
million,
and
with
this
new
round
of
funding,
the
CPA
will
have
generated
67
million
for
131
projects
across
the
city
devoted
to
affordable
housing,
historic
preservation
and
open

So
I'm
excited
with
this
filing
I'm
excited
to
start.
J
The
formal
hearing
process
with
my
colleagues
and
I
think
I'll
break
them
down
to
three
separate
hearings
to
evaluate
each
category
of
funding,
specifically
given
the
fact
that
we
have
nine
housing
projects
at
over
15
million.
There
are
sixteen
historic
preservation
projects
at
three
point:
four
in
this
15
open
space
projects
at
five
point,
one
so
again,
looking
forward
to
council
participation,
particularly
at
district
councillors
who
may
have
affordable
housing
opportunities,
historic
preservation,
opportunities,
our
open
space
opportunities.
So
thank
you.

Three

says
the
CPC
is
recommending
fifteen

But

I

passage

in
that
it
is
a
small

and,
as
always,
BPD's
always
looking
for
more

it
funds
a
human
capital
position
that
collects
data
on
traffic
crashes
and
other
things
relevant
to
reducing
accidents
in
the

We've
gotten
this

in
the
past

because
it's
a
low

trying

What
about
Massachusetts

The

I
seek
to
suspend
the
rules
in
pet
and
ask
my
colleagues
to
pass

vote.
This
grant
would
fund
equipment

for
the
after-school

at
the

Center
and
I
think
they'd
benefit
from
getting
those
funds
as
soon
as
possible.
Therefore,
I
asked
to
suspend
the
rules
and
pass
available.
Thank
you.

Trick
right

ask
for
suspension
of

This
is
a
mechanism
that
will
allow
for
folks
to
the
city,
and
particularly
these
animals
and
shelter,
to
take
advantage
of
donations
that
are
often
presented.
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
Steve
Bickerton
for
the
parks
department
for
his
great
work
on
this
setting
up
a
mechanism
again
in
place,
because
we
all
know
folks
love
to
help
out
or
many
folks
do
love
to
help
out
animals
support
it.
This
is
a
great
resource.
F
We
have
terrific
partnerships
with
organizations
like
MSPCA
and
ARL
in
the
Humane
Society
of
the
United
States,
and
this
is
just
a
way
to
allow
for
better
support
and
better
donations
to
be
spent
on
animal
care,
custody
and
control,
so
delighted
to
ask
for
our

A
I
Thank
you,
madam
president,
seeks
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
docket
0
for
1.
It's
pretty
self-explanatory.
A
very
small
amount
that
we
want
to
give
to
the
office
of
attorney
citizens
who's,
doing
incredible
work
as
we
welcome
citizens
back
from
being
incarcerated,
and
we
know
that
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
they
face
is
transportation
and
getting
to
their
appointments,
getting
important
documents
to
obviously
get
back
on
their
feet.
So
this
is
a
small
amount
that
I
see
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
to
get
to
that
office
right
away.
Thank
you.

A
B
M
You,
madam
president,
the
Committee
held
a
hearing
on
Monday
February
24th
at
3:30
p.m.
we
were
joined
by
a
counselor
and
sabe
Jorge
was
the
lead
sponsor
of
the
hearing,
as
well
as
council
president
Kim
Janie
counselor
Ricardo
Arroyo
counselor,
Matt,
O'malley
and
counselor
Liz
Breeden.
We
also
had
communications
from
counselors,
Flynn
and
Campbell,
who
weren't
able
to
attend
I
think
it
was
a
very
productive
hearing.
We
heard
from
Edie
pêche
the
assistant
director
of
transportation
at
bps,
Sam
de
pinna,
the
interim
operations
director
and
also
Charlene
Brenner
interim
chief
of
staff.
M
C
Thank
you
too
Sheriff
Ways
and
Means
concert
Bock
for
holding
and
chairing
this
annual
bps
transportation
budget.
Hearing
this
past
Monday
at
the
hearing,
bps
transportation
insisted
that
the
district
has
not
gone
over
budget
in
the
last
30
years.
While
this
is
technically
true
about
the
district,
the
same
is
not
true
for
the
Transportation
Department
and
which
is
why
we
have
this
hearing
that
there
are
very
regularly
in
my
time
and
office
and
the
time
of
many
of
our
colleagues
in
office.
The
transportation
budget
within
bps
regularly
goes
over
budget.
C
It's
a
it's
an
expensive
lyin'
lyin'
item
that
we
need
to
do
that
work,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
really
be
thoughtful
about
how
we're
spending
our
money
and
making
sure
that
our
kids
are
in
school
on
time
every
single
day.
So
it's
important
for
this
body,
especially
as
we
prepare
for
budget
hearings
in
the
coming
months
that
we
are
prepared
and
a
we're
aware
of
some
of
the
burdens
on
this
budget
for
our
school
department.
C
A
B
A
N
To
give
so
many
wonderful
suggestions
on
how
we
could
do
that.
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues,
councillor
Flynn
councillor
Flaherty
councillor
Arroyo,
councillor
woo,
councillor
O'malley,
councillor
Baker
and
councillor
Bach
for
attending
I.
Also.
We
also
had
notes
from
councillor
sabe
George
and
councillor
Campbell,
who
wanted
to
be
there
but
were
unable
to
attend.
I
want
to
note
from
the
administration
chief
Jerome
Smith,
attended
and
testified
John
tau
toll
from
whose
special
council
policy,
or
also
attended
and
Dion
Irish.
Who
was
a
commissioner
for
ISDN.
N
There
are
many
things
and
down
in
the
detail
that
we
could
discuss,
but
just
to
hit
some
highlights
because
ultimately,
I
think
it's
really
important
for
those
who
couldn't
attend
a
lot
of
testimony
in
terms
of
the
Home
Rule
was
about
who
gets
to
sit
on
the
board
and
the
positions
there.
We
discussed
the
seven
current
positions,
whether
some
should
go
away
and
also
what
one
should
be
added
in
terms
of
also
standards
for
variances.
N
N
N
It
seems
very
well
Madam,
President
that
there
will
probably
have
to
be
a
separate
hearing
on
that
particular
issue
in
controversy,
because
there's
so
many
things
to
get
done
and
it
looks
like
we
have
a
willing
partner
and
all
levels
I'm
going
to
ask
that
to
stay
in
committee
a
madam
president,
and
that
we
schedule
this
for
working
session.
I.
N
A
B
A
L
You,
madam
president,
thank
you
also
to
my
colleague,
councillor
Edwards,
for
co-sponsoring
this
order.
I
want
to
propose
a
dock
dock
at
one
for
1/9
the
need
for
a
hearing
to
fully
examine
her
members
of
the
BTB
PDA
and
the
board
of
appeals,
determined
the
need
for
zoning
relief
and
recommended
commendations
to
find,
as
variances
development
in
our
neighborhoods
is
governed
by
the
Boston
zoning
code,
which
establishes
the
rules
that
implement
neighborhood
planning
objectives
and
sets
forth
the
shape,
density
and
use
of
development
allowed
in
a
particular
area.
L
L
Therefore,
I
ask
call
for
a
hearing
regarding
zoning.
Variances
I
must
have
said
a
state
that
I
am
NOT
anti
development
I
really
want
to
get
us
away
from
a
trend
that
displaces
our
new
gentrified
and
displaces
our
neighborhood
folks
from
our
neighborhoods
and
I
welcome
the
hearing
on
this.
Thank
you
thank.
A
You
so
much
councillor
Braden.
Is
there
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
the
matter
or
add
their
name?
I'm
Madame
clerk?
If
you
could
please
add

Arroyo
councillor
Bach
councillor,
Campbell,

asabi,
George,

whoo
and

Planning
development
and
transportation.
Moving
on
to
docket
0
for

0,
madam
clerk,
could
you
please
read
the
docket.
B
A
B
L
Of
you
know,
I'm
an
environmentalist
and
when
viewing
development,
I
look
at
the
harm,
I
look
at
the
harms,
our
benefits,
which
could
be
done
by
on
the
surrounding
environment,
of
any
development
in
in
a
district
with
the
least
amount
of
green
space
in
the
entire
city.
I'm,
especially
cognizant
of
how
my
neighborhood
has
been
impacted
by
development.
It
is
well
recognized
that
our
ability
to
mitigate
the
impacts
of
climate
change
is
greatly
enhanced
by
by
the
health
and
resilience
of
our
wetlands,
urban
wilds
and
green
spaces.
L
Erosion
and
degradation
of
these
areas
impacts
our
ability
to
manage
stormwater,
runoff,
limit
heat
island
effects
and
impacts
or
air
quality.
Therefore,
with
the
encroachment
of
various
new
developments
around
DC,
our
parklands
and
parkways,
we
need
to
examine
and
other
green
spaces.
We
need
to
examine
what
restriction
exist
for
projects
abutting
our
precious
green
space.
We
are
in
the
midst
of
an
unfolding
environmental
disaster.
L
Therefore,
it
is
imperative
that
that
we
take
all
necessary
measures
to
protect
and
preserve
the
integrity
of
these
valuable
resources
which
are
so
essential
to
the
quality
of
her
life
and
the
sustainability
of
her
beautiful
city.
Therefore,
I
call
for
a
hearing
to
review
restrictions
on
development,
abutting,
parkland
and
parkways.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A

A
A
O
You
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
finalists
hearing
and
hearing
in
an
effort
to
examine
the
city's
taxi
taxi
regulations
to
discuss
the
potential
need
to
change
how
we
regulate
our
taxis
in
the
city.
Taxi
owners
and
operators
were
able
to
receive
some
relief
from
the
act
if
they're
able
to
relieve
subs.
If
cab
owners
and
operators
are
able
to
receive
some
relief
on
the
hack,
Hackney
regulations,
we
may
be
able
to
rebuild
this
business
I'm,
not
totally
confident,
but
I
think
we
can
councillor
Campbell's
been
involved
in
this
fight
with
me
quite
a
bit.
O
So
a
brief.
A
little
bit
of
backstory
taxi
medallions
went
from
with
300,000
to
600,000.
Tncs
came
in
uber
and
lyft
came
in
and
basically
decimated
that
for
that
whole
industry,
most
of
the
industry
were
immigrant
immigrant
drivers
that
took
every
bit
of
anything
that
they
had
their
credit,
their
cash.
Everything
put
it
up
to
buy
these.
To
buy
these
medallions
then
comes
along
uber
and
lyft.
The
medallions
are
basically
worthless.
O
Now
we've
had
people
in
my
office
in
meetings
grown
men
sitting
crying
about
what's
going
on
in
their
industry
and
trying
to
pay
for
their
families.
It's
it's
pretty
bad,
but
I.
Think.
If
we
look
at
this
thoughtfully,
we
we
grant
some
some
relief
in
403
403
is
the
hackneyed
regulations
that
are
governed
by
the
police
department.
If
we
loosen
some
of
those
regulations,
maybe
put
the
taxi
industry
or
more
of
a
more
of
a
more
of
a
level
footing
with
with
the
TNCs
I
think
we
can
potentially
get
some
people
back
in
business.
O
The
police
department
has
hundreds
of
medallions,
literally
just
sitting
on
a
shelf.
Now
that
people
are
trying
to
sell
it's
actually
probably
a
good
business
plan,
you
can
get
a
hackney
license.
You
can
get
a
hackney
medallion
for
$35,000.
Now,
if
you
talk
to
and
I
probably
been
in
uber
and
lyft,
my
could
count.
My
rides
on
two
hands.
They've
probably
been
in
seven
of
them.
O
If,
if,
if
you
talk
to
over
and
lyft
drivers,
they're
not
sure
of
what
they're
gonna
put
in
their
pocket
at
the
end
of
the
night,
but
the
the
person
that
rents
a
taxi
for
the
night,
he
or
she
knows
that
if
I
give
you
the
owner,
$200
and
I
work,
I
work,
the
rest
of
that
night
and
I
earn
eight
hundred
I'm
gonna
put
six
hundred
five
hundred
six
hundred
in
my
pocket.
They
know
they're
gonna,
do
that
so
I
think
we
have
an
opportunity
here
to
think
differently
about
about
this
industry.
O
A
K
The
key
role
in
our
city
was
a
very
difficult
time
in
our
city,
but
especially
for
our
immigrant
community,
but
cab
drivers
really
helped
make
our
city
help
strengthen
our
city,
so
I'm
I'm,
proud
of
councillor
Baker
for
offering
this,
and
just
want
to
offer
my
support.
True
for
the
cab
drivers
that
again
they
come
from
immigrant
families.
They
work
hard.
They
don't
make
a
lot
of
money,
but
there
should
be
a
place
in
Boston
for
all
cab
drivers.
So
thank
you
to
council,
Baker
and
council
Campbell
as
well.
Thank.
A
I
You,
madam
president,
I,
want
to
thank
councilor
Baker
for
filing
the
hearing
order
and
for
his
leadership
and
is
actually
a
staff
as
well
with
respect
to
this
issue.
It
is
you
know:
we've
had
meetings
for
years
with
hard-working
dedicated
residents
and
and
folks
who
are
just
looking
to
get
ahead
to
support
their
families.
Most
of
the
folks
we've
been
meeting
with
our
immigrants
most
are
from
communities
of
color,
and
so
this
issue,
frankly,
is
about
justice.
The
end
of
the
day
the
ride-sharing
companies
are
within
the
authority
of
the
state.
I
Here
we
control
the
taxi
industry.
So
how
do
we
at
the
end
of
the
day,
not
just
make
it
a
level
playing
field,
but
right
some
past
wrongs
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is.
We
knew
that
with
technology
and
with
innovation,
who
were
a
lift
at
these
types
of
companies
we're
going
to
be
coming
down
the
pipeline.
We
did
nothing
to
sort
of
shift
rates
or
to
change
things
to
allow
our
taxi
drivers
to
keep
up,
and
so
the
question
is
now:
how
do
we
support
them?
How
do
we
do
what's
fair?
I
How
do
we
do?
It's?
Just
and
they
have
innovative
ideas
in
solutions
they've
brought
to
us
that
are
fantastic,
so
this
is
an
opportunity
to
talk
about
those
in
a
public
way,
not
just
in
sort
of
some
of
the
closed-door
meetings
with
us
in
the
administration
and
to
move
things
forward
and
I
will
tell
you.
I
It
is
really
heart-wrenching
to
hear
some
of
their
stories
of
people
who
have
cashed
in
everything,
but
their
lives
on
this
industry
to
get
their
children
through
college,
to
buy
a
home
to
build
wealth
not
only
for
their
family
but
in
communities.
So
this
is
an
hour
opportunity
to
support
them
in
some
way.
I
think
there
are
some
good
ideas
out
there,
but
I
look
forward
to
having
a
robust
conversation
and
I
want
to
applaud
councillor
Baker
for
taking
the
lead
on
this.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
A
And
you
would
like
to
add
your
name:
yes,
okay,
wonderful
anyone
else,
looking
to
speak
or
add
their
name.
Madam
Clerk,
if
you
could
please
add
councillor,
Arroyo,
council,
council,
Braeden,
councillor,
Edwards,
council,
sorry,
George,
councillor,
Mejia
and
councillor
woo
and
please
also
add
the
chair,
docket
zero.
Four
two
one
will
be
refer
to
the
Committee
on
city
and
neighborhood
services.
We
will
now
move
on
to
docket
0
for
two.
B
A
K
You,
madam
president,
Madam
President
I
filed
this
resolution
to
celebrate
african-american
veterans,
achievement
during
Black,
History,
Month,
incredible
contributions,
service
and
sacrifice
as
well
of
their
families
throughout
throughout
our
country's
history
from
World
War
one
to
the
president,
I
just
came
back
yesterday
from
a
disabled
american
veterans.
Conference
in
in
washington
had
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
african-american
veterans
throughout
the
country,
more
more
listening
to
them.
Listening
to
their
stories
of
sacrifice,
hard
work
service,
they
fought
in
World
War
one.
K
They
fought
the
American
Revolution
World
War,
two
they
got
there,
they
got
their
arms
or
legs
blown
off
in
World
War
one
they
came
back
to
our
country,
didn't
enjoy
the
rights
to
to
vote
or
they
were
treated
freedom
disrespectfully
by
our
country,
and
here
they
are
this
they're
serving
our
country
serving
our
our
freedom
and
their
families
as
well,
sacrificing
our
military
families.
That's
why
I
asked
counselor
Edwards
to
be
an
original
co-sponsor.
She
knows
very
well
the
role
of
the
military
families
play
in
our
society
as
well.
K
World
War,
two
veterans,
Tuskegee
Airmen,
contributed
significantly
to
our
country.
In
fact,
one
of
my
good
friends,
Willis
ondas,
who
was
a
Boston
police
superintendent,
was
a
Tuskegee
Airmen
was
a
Boston
Police
Superintendent.
His
father
was
a
World
War,
one
veteran
by
the
opportunity
to
visit
the
historic
12th
Baptist
Church.
K
A
N
You,
madam
president,
thank
you
again
to
my
friend
and
colleague,
councillor
Flynn,
for
adding
me
to
this
resolution.
As
counsel
Flynn
noted
I
do
come
from
a
military
background
and
it's
important
not
only
that
we
recognize
african-american
veterans
in
Black,
History
Month,
but
knowing
that
period,
all
the
freedoms
that
we
have
today,
all
of
the
things
that
we
celebrate
in
terms
of
my
ability
to
be
even
here
on
the
city
council,
our
ability
to
be
in
this
country
to
speak
freely.
All
of
those
things
were
paid
for
by
veterans
and
are
celebrated
year-round.
N
The
fact
that
there
are
that
we're
celebrating
or
recognizing
african-american
veterans
particular
because
so
many
of
the
freedoms
that
we
celebrate
today
they
were
denied.
Despite
dying
for
this
country,
my
great-uncle
Solomon
Mangrum,
for
example,
I,
didn't
even
know
he
existed
until
after
his
sister,
my
grandmother
died
and
I
bring
this
story
up
because
he
was
he
served
in
in
North
Korea
and
he
died
in
Heartbreak
Hill.
N
18,000
immigrants
who
escaped
from
world
war
ii
served
with
my
great
uncle
uncle
salman.
He
saw
my
uncle
in
North
Korea
when
they
were
taking
on
heartbreak
health
and
they
were
told
he
would
have
it
done
in
a
week.
It
took
them
30
days.
They
had
no
idea
what
they
were
doing
in
their
work.
My
uncle
and
another
african-american
man.
Let
let
help
to
lead
the
charge
up
that
hill
and
unfortunately,
many
of
many
of
their
colleagues
took
fire
Bob
Finley
being
one
of
them.
N
My
great
uncle
and
his
african-american
colleague
carried
down
Bob
Finley
went
back
up.
The
hill
said
that
they
were
still
more
people,
carry
down
another
man
and
then
went
back
up
the
hill
and
never
came
back.
They
carried
down
their
colleagues
regardless
of
their
color
because
they
were
there
to
defend
this
country.
I
know
this
because
after
seeing
those
letters,
I
went
to
the
Google
I
found
out
where
mr.
Schultz
lived.
I
found
him
in
the
phone
book
with
the
young
people
here,
it's
a
book,
but
they
exist
and
they
exist
in
Brownsville.
N
Michigan
still
I
had
the
pleasure
to
speak
with
mr.
Schultz
on
the
phone
I
had
the
pleasure
to
learn
from
him
that
it
wasn't
him
who
was
saved
whose
bomb
Finley.
He
then
gave
me
mr.
Finley's
number
and
I
spoke
with
him
on
the
phone.
I
brought
tears
to
his
eyes
because
he
said
I
always
wondered
why
I've
got
to
live
in
something
Selman
had
to
die.
I've
been
doing
my
best
to
lead
two
lives.
I've
been
doing
my
best
to
do
right
by
Solomon's
memory.
He
then
sent
me
his
resume.
N
Sent
me
articles
that
he
had
done.
He
become
a
pastor.
He
had
done
so
many
things
raised
these
children
and
all
he
wanted
to
do
was
be
impressed
by
my
family
that
my
great
uncle
had
died
and
never
got
to
see
these
things.
He
was
20
23
years
old
when
my
great-uncle
died.
When
my
great-grandmother
found
out
about
her
child
dying,
she
grieved
herself
to
death
and
died
early.
My
grandmother
his
sister.
We
doesn't
talk
about
painful
things,
so
I
didn't
really
hear
a
lot
about.
Mr.
N
N
It
is
that
kind
of
special
connection
that
the
military
brings
to
families
that
goes
across
culture
and
color
in
ways
that
I
don't
know,
many
people
can
understand.
Mr.
Schultz
and
I
politically
probably
could
be
on
the
most
extremes
in
terms
of
where
we
stand
in
terms
of
our
political
votes
and
who
we
are.
But
I
would
not
know
about
my
family,
my
history
and
my
heritage.
N
If
it
wasn't
for
his
letters
over
the
years
to
my
grandmother
after
World
War
excuse
me,
so
they
signed
some
affidavits
I
I
have
the
story
for
sure
and
I
believe
he
was
recommended.
My
great-uncle
for
a
Bronze
Star
for
his
Aurora
activities.
I
have
to
bring
up
that.
His
colleague
was
African
American
I.
Still
we
tried
to
find
who
he
was,
who
also
died
with
my
great-uncle.
We
don't
know
who
it
was,
who
came
down
the
hill
and
stayed
Bob
Finley's
life,
but
I
had
the
pleasure
and
honor
to
speak
with
mr.
N
N
My
mother,
as
you
know,
been
joined
the
military
in
1973
at
the
end
of
Vietnam
and
I
was
well.
I
was
born
into
the
service,
and
my
mother
took
my
sister
and
I
really
the
world.
It's
just
important
to
recognize,
not
just
the
bad
things
and
gosh
knows
there
are
a
lot
of
bad
things,
but
for
better
or
for
worse,
the
military
has
done
more
with
integration
for
better
and
for
worse
than
most
institutions.
N
So
I'm
here
to
recognize
not
only
my
great-uncle
but
the
many
countless
nameless
individuals
who
died
on
Hills
saving
their
colleagues,
regardless
of
their
color.
Knowing
in
19
it
was
1952
where
he
died.
I'm
getting
my
dates
mixed
up,
I
apologize,
it
was
the
1950s
in
Korea,
my
uncle
probably
not
could
not
enjoy
the
same
liberties
freedoms
that
he
was
dying
for
so
this
is
for
Uncle
Salman.
This
is
for
everyone
else
who
died,
nameless
but
died
for
this
incredible
country.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
that
incredibly
moving
story.
Is
there
anyone
else
who
would
like
to
add
their
name
or
speak
to
this
resolution?
Madame
clerk?
If
you
could
please
add
councillor
Bob
Council,
Braden,
councillor,
Campbell,
councillor,
sabe,
George,
councillor,
mejia,
councillor,
Arroyo,
councillor,
O'malley,
councillor
woo
and
please
also
add
the
chair.
Councillor
Flynn
and
councillor
Edwards
seek
suspension
of
the
rules
and
adoption
of
docket
0
for
2,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
all
opposed,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
and
docket
0
for
2
2
has
been
adopted.
B
A
P
You,
madam
president,
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
so
yeah
quickly
about
this
particular
hearing
that
I
am
proposing.
For
me,
everything
that
I've
done
has
always
been
about
my
lived
experience
and
when
I
was
lucky
enough
to
get
hired
in
this
position.
I
realized
that
I
had
one
hundred
and
fifty
nine
dollars
worth
of
tickets
that
I
needed
to
pay,
and
let
me
tell
you
that
I
was
in
shock
and
I
didn't
want
to
start
this
job
owing
a
debt
to
the
city.
P
So
I
scrambled
up
a
little
bit
of
change
and
made
my
debt
to
the
city.
But
it
was
during
that
process
that
I
realized
that
if
I
was
able
to
do
that
with
the
limited
resources
that
I
had
I
started.
Thinking
about
those
who
have
not
and
started
hearing
about
stories
of
other
people
who
were
struggling
to
make
their
ends
meet
while
getting
a
$40
parking
ticket
that
then
turned
into
a
$90
dollar
ticket.
And
then
what
happens
when
you're
struggling
to
juggle
all
your
finance?
P
Then
you
realize
that
you
are
either
deciding
whether
or
not
you're
going
to
pay
a
parking
ticket
or
put
food
on
your
table
and
not
to
say
that
I'm
here
to
break
any
laws
or
you
know,
challenge
the
system.
But
I
do
think
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
really
explore
how
we
can
make
parking
tickets
a
little
bit
more
reflective
of
the
financial
situations
that
a
lot
of
our
residents
are
facing
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
P
Today,
so
I'd
like
to
propose
a
hearing
order
to
hear
how
we
how
we
can
examine
ways
that
we
could
do
income
adjusted
where
we're
probably
looking
at
your
income.
So
basically,
perhaps
maybe
you
bring
in
your
income
tax
and
pay
your
sliding
scale
for
your
ticket
or
exploring
other
ways
that
we
can
help
support
people
who
are
dealing
with
financial
hardships
of
the
City
of
Boston.
For
me,
I
ran
on
a
platform
about
social
economic
justice.
P
As
someone
who
lived
a
life
of
poverty
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
look
at
these
issues
from
the
lens
of
making
sure
that
people
who
have
not
continued
not
to
have
nothing
but
to
really
be
mindful
of
how
we
can
be
more
equitably
when
it
comes
to
parking.
So
I
would
like
to
host
the
hearing
order
to
explore.
What
can
we
do
to
address
this
issue
in
a
way
that
uplifts
the
voices
of
those
who
are
struggling
financially
in
the
city
of
Boston?
Thank.
A
N
You
very
much
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
in
this
analysis,
the
way
in
which
we
integrate
with
individuals
and
whether
it's
through
a
ticket
or
whether
it's
through
hearings,
which
we'll
discuss
soon
needs
to
come
from
an
equity
lens
I,
could
say
right
now:
I,
don't
think
I'm
there,
yet
with
whether
we
should
have
reduced
parking
tickets
based
off
of
your
income.
But
I
certainly
think
that
we
should
see
how
this
is
impacting
individuals
through
several
ways.
One
I
think
one
balancing
act
is
the
ticket
not
tow
program,
I.
N
Think
having
your
car
towed,
especially
impacts
people
who
are
impoverished
in
a
way
that
maybe
someone
who
isn't
I
mean
the
fact
that
your
car
has
been
towed
far
away
and
then
there's
a
private
actor.
That
is
charging
a
different
rate
at
the
tow
lot
for
you
to
get
your
car
back
because
they
took
it
from
you
and
now
you're,
paying
almost
on
rent.
There's
an
issue
I
think
we
need
to
analyze
with
that
and
look
at
how
people
are
towing,
how
they
make
money
in
ways.
N
If
you
don't
have
the
money
to
pay
that,
then
I
would
say,
especially
you're
you're,
in
a
position
that
only
hurts
you
more
I
think
we
also
I
had
a
case
where
a
woman
who
was
put
in
a
shelter
here
by
the
state
she
couldn't
afford
Boston
insurance.
So
she
kept
her
insurance
and
so
her
car
wasn't
registered
here
and
we
put
a
boot
on
her
car.
That
was
the
only
income
she
had
she
drove
lyft
and
was
trying
to
one
day
raise
enough
money
to
get
her
kids
back.
N
So
again,
we
put
you
know
how
we
piled
on
with
somebody.
I
would
also
actually
think
that
there's
I
don't
know
if
anyone's
paid
online
before,
but
when
you
pay
online
versus
paying
in
person,
you
have
to
pay
a
fee,
a
transaction
fee
I,
don't
like
that.
I
don't
like
having
to
pay
to
pay
and
I
think
this
city
I
know
it's.
Because
of
the
way
the
system
set
up
literally
the
system
online
is
but
we're
paying
a
fee
to
pay
my
fee.
N
So
I
wonder
if
that's
a
real,
fair,
equitable
way
of
looking
at
things
and
finally,
another
form
of
equity.
Is
there
any
way
to
go
on
a
pay
interest
repayment
plan
so
that
yes,
I'm
assessed
$40
I
may
not
have
it
all
at
once,
but
can
I
pay
it
off
in
three
months
with
no
interest
I.
Think
that
there's
ways
in
which
we
can
look
at
that,
but
I'm
not
there.
N
N
A
I
You,
madam
president,
I,
want
to
applaud
councillor
Mejia
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
think
it's
an
important
conversation.
I
have
personally
helped
constituents
pay
tickets,
but
they
were
unable
to
pay
after
demonstrating
to
me
and
folks
in
my
office,
the
financial
hardship
that
it
is
to
pay
a
ticket.
I
But
the
fact
that
you
have
constituents
who
show
up
here
in
one
in
case
I
think
one
woman
made
the
rounds
to
all
of
our
offices
in
tears
because
she
could
not
afford
to
pay
and
he
even
had
documentation
to
prove
that
she
was
laid
off
lost
her
job.
And
so
how
do
we
work
with
folks
who
want
to
do
the
right
thing
but
are
financially
unable
to
do
so?
So
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
have
this
conversation
and,
to
my
surprise,
I.
I
Couldn't
believe
it,
there
was
nothing
in
place
currently
to
help
those
constituents
deal
with
those
issues
and
then
adding
in
the
toe
piece
just
growing
up
here.
That
was
always
a
major
issue
in
certain
neighborhoods
in
particular,
you
struggle
if
I'm
parking
and
you
come
out
and
your
car
is
gone
and
some
of
you
have
a
ticket
on
your
car.
Then
you
go
to
the
tow
lot
on
frontage
road
and
you
pay
some
crazy
amount
to
get
your
car
out
is
an
extreme
hardship.
I
A
F
I
too
rise
to
commend
the
maker.
The
at-large
council
for
dorchester
well
I
certainly
appreciate
the
intent
and
the
impetus
of
this
hearing
order.
I'm,
not
sure
that
it
is
the
right
approach.
I
want
to
offer
a
little
perspective
in
history
on
how
this
body
has
had
an
active
role,
as
it
relates
to
the
settings
the
schedule
of
fines.
One
was
eluded
by
the
district
one
councillor.
We
worked
with
the
Boston
Transportation
Department
on
a
piloted
program
in
Charlestown
several
years
ago,
which
would
change
what
was
happening
for
resident.
F
Only
parking,
our
to
me
streets
street
cleaning
street
sweeping
where
you
would
be
towed,
you'd,
be
assessed
a
relatively
small
ticket
and
then
towed,
which
would
100
hundred
$20.
On
top
of
that,
as
someone
who
used
to
live
in
a
place
without
a
driveway
I
was
the
victim
of
that
several
times.
So,
by
increasing
the
the
violations
for
parking
in
a
street
cleaning
block
of
time
and
removing
the
tow
fee,
we
actually
saved
taxpayers.
Those
who,
you
know
would
fall
victim
to
add
a
significant
amount
of
money.
F
Moreover,
working
with
the
former
District
eight
city
councilor,
there
was
an
issue
around
the
Fenway
neighborhood
near
Fenway
Park,
where
I
think
it
was
$25
violation
for
parking
in
a
resident
only
zone,
as
we
all
know,
parking
at
a
Red
Sox
game
is
going
to
be
close
to
$40
or
$50.
You
had
a
not
insignificant
number
of
people
who
would
rather
pay
a
smaller
ticket
than
then
pay
double
it
for
a
resident
for
a
private
parking.
F
Think
a
better
approach
might
be
looking
at
some
of
the
causes,
as
it
relates
to
free
public
transportation
is
championed
by
the
at-large
council
from
Rosendale,
looking
at
better
in
more
creative
ways
to
deal
with
parking
and
to
support
our
business
districts
looking
at
at
certainly
meet
part
mediator,
meter
parking
certain
areas
as
well
looking
at
alternate
ways
of
transportation
such
as
it
increased
bike
network
bike,
shares
the
electric
scooters
electric
multi-model
vehicles
as
well.
So
again,
it's
a
good
conversation
to
have
I'm,
not
sure
that
changing
or
the
other
thing.
F
A
You
so
much
O'malley
is
anyone
else,
looking
to
speak
or
add
their
name?
Madam
Clerk,
if
you
could
please
add
councillor
Arroyo
councillor,
Braden
councillor,
asabi,
George,
councillor,
Flynn,
councillor
woo
and
please
also
add
the
chair,
docket
zero.
Four
two
three
will
be
referred
to
the
committee
on
city
and
neighborhood
services.
We'll
move
on
now
to
docket
0
for
two
full
docket.
B
A
P
Great,
thank
you,
madam
president.
So
this
one
relates
to
the
fact.
There
are
a
lot
of
folks
who
are
third
shift
workers
who
can't
get
to
and
from
work
on
the
MBTA,
so
I'd
like
to
propose
a
hearing
order
to
see
how
we
can
go
about
providing
late-night
service
that
also
not
just
for
late
night
shift
workers,
but
also
an
opportunity
for
folks
who
may
want
to
hang
out
a
little
bit
later
in
the
city
of
Boston
I.
Think
that
will
help.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
Q
You,
madam
president,
I,
want
to
thank
the
lead
sponsor
for
her
leadership
on
this
and
I'm
excited
for
the
new
energy
around
it.
This
is
an
issue
that
has
economic
implications
across
multiple
levels
and
is
has
been
frustrating
because
the
City
Council
has
been
part
of
the
conversations
for
years
as
well.
Q
We
need
not
just
for
the
MBTA
to
recognize
their
role
in
facilitating
an
investment
into
the
larger
benefits
that
we
would
reap
across
the
economy
that
we
would
be
able
to
support
third
shift
workers
who
have
no
other
way
of
getting
to
work
that
is
affordable
at
our
hospitals,
at
restaurants
and
in
the
hospitality
sector,
but
most
of
all
people
need
stability
and
they
need
whatever
we
are
putting
before
them
to
be
reliable,
affordable
and
accessible.
We
have
to
think
about
that
in
terms
of
the
time
of
day
that
is
available
too.
N
Something
near
and
dear
to
my
heart,
as
many
of
the
folks
from
East
Boston
have
called
for
this
and
used
the
late
night
service
and
wanted
it
to
be
expanded.
In
many
cases
they
were
working
other
restaurant
workers
or
cleaners
and
offices
overnight
and
needed
access
to
free.
Excuse
me
low-cost
transportation,
such
as
the
bus.
Now,
while
we
do
have
the
late
night
bus,
we
just
had
a
conversation
about
how
lyft
and
uber
are
taking
over
I've
taken
up
too
much,
possibly
of
our
transportation
needs,
and
we
already
have
congested
streets.
N
So
why
wouldn't
we
want
to
expand
the
T
at
night
so
that
people
can
get
on
the
T
versus
getting
and
losing
2-3
hours
of
work,
especially
if
you're
paid
by
the
hour
to
get
in
an
uber
to
go
home?
The
other
thing
I
would
also
just
add
to
this
conversation
and
I.
Look
forward
to
this
hearing
is
the
fact
that
we're
going
to
be
expanding
our
ferry
service
in
East
Boston,
we're
hoping
it
could.
Yes,
we're
gonna
get
a
ferry
and
that
would
go
from
debt
from
East
Boston
down
to.
We
hope
this.
N
The
at
least
the
Seaport,
but
and
I
won't
give
credit
to
credits.
Do
my
predecessor,
City
Council
Diane
Monica,
brought
in
the
first,
not
the
first,
but
brought
back
the
ferry
the
first
time
in
the
1990s,
so
I'm,
hoping
that
part
of
this
late-night
service
could
possibly
include
the
ferry
that
we're
gonna
bring
in
as
well
Thank.
A
M
Also
just
want
to
commend
the
makers
and
say
four
years
ago,
I
was
one
of
only
a
handful
of
people
who
managed
to
actually
attend
the
extremely
hastily
scheduled
hearings
with
the
tea
held
three
in
a
24-hour
period.
Before
canceling
late
night
service,
it
was
January
of
2016.
None
of
the
third
shift
workers
that
have
been
mentioned
today
were
able
to
be
at
these.
You
know,
noon
four
o'clock
and
noon
again:
hearings
in
Boston
and
Cambridge.
You
know
the
handful
of
people
who
could
make
it
out
were
people
like
me
who
had
more
flexible
schedules.
M
I
was
you
know
at
age,
26,
a
fairly
frequent
user
of
the
late
night,
II
service
and-
and
you
know,
stood
out
to
just
say
this
is
something
that
we
need.
It's
something
we
need
for
our
economy,
it's
something
we
need
for
our
most
vulnerable
citizens
and
it's
something
that
the
way
that
the
tea
was
looking
at
it
at
a
time
was
that
it
wasn't
paying
for
itself.
But
there
are
many
hours
of
the
system
day
throughout
the
week
that
don't
pay
for
themselves
on
that
kind
of
a
basis.
M
That's
why
we
talk
about
a
couple
of
good
right.
We
provide
it
because,
yes,
it
cost
us
something,
but
it
also
benefits
us
as
a
whole
public
and
when
you
just
think
about
when
you
think
about
the
you
know,
jobs
that
you
enable
people
to
have
the
income
you
enable
them
to
know.
They're
gonna
have
the
on
the
other
side
that
people
who
know
they
can
stay
out
somewhere
because
of
having
that
regularity
of
knowing
that
he
is
still
running.
M
A
You
is
anyone
else,
looking
to
speaker,
add
their
name.
Madam
clerk,
could
you
please
add
councillor
Braden
councillor
back
to
do
councillor
Bach
councillor,
Roy,
Oh,
councillor,
Campbell,
councillor,
Edwards,
councillor,
asabi,
George,
councillor,
Flynn,
councillor
O'malley
and
please
also
add
the
chair,
docket
zero.
Four
two
four
will
be
referred
to.
The
Committee
on
Planning
development
and
transportation
will
now
move
on
to
docket
zero.
Four
twenty
five
dock.
P
So
before
I
even
say
anything
I
just
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
always
adding
additional
to
the
things
that
I'm
proposing
I.
Think
that
your
expertise
and
the
lens
that
you
brain
really
help
articulate
the
things
that
I
want
to
move
forward.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
each
of
you
for
always
bringing
so
much
to
these
discussions.
I
really
do
appreciate
that
so
the
hearing
on
public
hearings,
that
was
my
big
thing,
I,
always
said.
P
The
first
thing
that
I
was
going
to
propose
and
I
think
that
we
have
an
amazing
opportunity
here
to
really
create
an
opportunity
for
folks
to
be
more
engaged
in
civics
to
be
more
engaged
in
the
decision-making
process.
That
happens
here
in
City,
Hall
and
I'm,
proposing
a
hearing
on
public
hearings
to
really
explore
how
we
can
remove
barriers
to
engagement
and
having
spoken
with
Michelle
woo
councilor
Michelle
woo
not
too
long
ago.
I
know
that
jana
press
former
city
council,
jana
presley
and
she
had
talked
about
how
we
can
provide
childcare.
P
So
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
as
a
single
mom
has
been.
My
thing
is:
how
can
we
make
it
more
accessible
to
folks
to
participate
in
these
type
of
hearing,
so
I'm,
looking
forward
to
hosting
a
hearing
on
hearings
to
figure
out
how
we
can
remove
barriers
to
engagement
and
explore
ways
to
make
City
Hall
more
accountable
and
accessible
to
those
who
we
wish
to
serve
so
I'm?
Looking
forward
to
hosting
a
conversation
around
that
and
working
with
my
co-sponsor
city,
councilor
Lydia
Edwards
on
that?
Thank.
A
N
You,
madam
president,
just
to
add
to
some
of
the
comments
I'm
excited
about
this
conversation,
because
accessibility
means
accountability.
It
means
you
can
actually
participate
and
tell
your
government
where
it's
getting
things
right
and
where
it's
not
one
of
the
things
we
certainly
need,
however,
is
data
to
back
up
a
lot
of
what
we
are
talking
about
in
terms
of
who
has
access
to
the
city
right
now,
while
one
of
the
great
lines
of
questioning
yesterday
came
from
councillor
royo
discussing
who
is
actually
at
the
abutters
meetings,
what
do
they
look
like?
N
What
are
the
languages
that
they
speak?
Are
we
really
actually
reflecting
the
diversity
and
even
any
of
these
many
conversations
that
are
at
the
grassroots
level,
but
are
they
really
inclusive
at
that
level?
One
of
the
issues
is,
of
course,
how
do
you
capture
that
data
of
who
shows
up
well,
I,
will
say:
I
had
the
pleasure
of
working
at
the
office
of
housing
stability
in
one
way
in
which
the
city
does
capture
data
is
when
they
call
him
two
three
one,
one
by
zip
code.
N
N
At
this
kind
of
hearing,
we
can
only
make
ourself
more
accessible.
I
would
also
like
to
add
I
one
thing:
maybe
the
city
council
could
consider
in
our
budget
access
going
forward
is
how
do
we
make
this
particular
Wednesday
moment
or
any
of
our
hearings
more
accessible
by
that
I
mean
online,
not
necessarily
in
a
Facebook
live
chat
type
way.
But
how
can
people
be
talking
to
us
while
we're
talking,
if
they're,
not
here
so,
could
they
submit
things
via
email
to
the
clerk
or
to
the
person?
N
Who's
actually
come
to
central
staff
at
the
time
so
that
we
can
get
you
know,
I,
don't
want
it
to
be
a
Facebook
live
with
a
bunch
of
hearts
and
emojis,
but
I
do
think
people
should
be
able
to
be
submitting
questions
to
us
in
live
time.
So
how
do
we
do
that?
Can
they
call
in
I
just
want
to
put
that
out
there
for
us
for
what
we
might
be
able
to
control?
Thank
you.
A
K
You,
madam
president,
and
Madam
President.
Could
you
please
add
my
name,
madam
president,
also
just
want
thank
the
the
makers
for
bringing
in
this
tool
to
the
floor
and
as
counsel
Edwards
mentioned.
Language
access
is
also
a
critical
part
of
this,
especially
for
our
residents
that
may
not
speak
English,
just
as
an
example
was
saying.
The
the
ongoing
issue
nationally
internationally
of
the
coronavirus
I,
couldn't
do
my
job
effectively
as
a
city
councilor.
A
Thank
you.
Anyone
else
looking
to
speak
or
add
their
name
accounts.
Madam
clerk,
should
you
please
add
councillor
Arroyo
councillor,
Bob
Council,
Braden,
councillor,
Campbell,
councillor,
asabi,
George,
council,
whoo,
councillor
O'malley
and
please
add
the
chair.
I'm
really
excited
about
this
hearing
order
and
about
the
work
we
are
doing
so
I
just
want
to
echo
your
sentiments
I'm
very
grateful
to
serve
with
all
of
you.
A
B
Q
Q
So
this
is
a
resolution
in
support
of
the
bill
up
at
the
State
House
filed
by
Representatives
Shaun
Garber
Lee
and
Marjorie
Decker
House
bill
28
36,
and
it
would
require
that
Massachusetts
join
states
across
the
country
in
moving
us
on
a
specific
timeline
to
a
hundred
percent
renewable
energy.
You
have
heard
both
of
the
sponsors
of
this
expound
profusely
on
just
how
urgent
this
matter
is
just
how
much
we
need
to
do
at
every
level
of
government
and
certainly
for
all
the
good
work
that
we're
doing
at
the
city
of
Boston.
Q
So
I
am
very
proud
to
partner,
with
an
Hellerstein
from
Environment,
mass
and
and
all
of
the
good
work
that
that
organization
is
doing,
mobilizing,
organizing
and
getting
the
grassroots
out,
because
the
issues
of
climate
justice
are
the
issues
that
will
define
every
other
challenge
that
we're
facing
and
how
prepared
we
are
to
face
them,
how
livable
our
world
will
be
and
how
equitable
the
opportunities
will
be
within
that.
So
would
ask
that
we
suspend
the
rules
and
adopt
this
resolution
today,
so
we
can
get
it
up
to
the
Statehouse
as
quickly
as
possible.
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
very
briefly
rise
to
thank
my
dear
colleague
and
friend,
Lee
at
large
counselor
from
Roslindale
for
her
again
continued
partnership
on
this.
This
is
really
important.
It's
a
no
brainer!
It
dovetails
nicely
to
the
work
that
this
body's
done
as
it
relate
NetZero
carbon
construction,
as
well
as
community
choice,
energy
which
again
partnering
with
the
at-large
council
from
Roslindale.
We
are
excited
to
see
the
lights.
F
The
solar-powered
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel
and
looking
forward
to
see
just
the
number
of
Bostonians
that
automatically
opt
up
to
100%
renewable
that
won't
be
the
default
default
is
gonna
grow
our
renewable
portfolio
significantly,
but
there
will
be
an
opportunity
to
opt
up
and
we've
seen
many
other
neighboring
cities
and
towns.
So
many
residents
do
just
that
again.
This
is
something
that
is
not
only
good
for
the
environment,
but
for
good
for
the
consumer
as
well.
Solar
is
growing
so
quickly,
other
renewable
energy
sources
and
the
cost
is
coming
down.
F
A
You
councillor
Malley
is
anyone
else.
Looking
to
speaker,
add
their
name
to
this
resolution.
Madam
clerk,
if
you
could
please
add
councillor
Arroyo
councillor
Bock
councillor,
Braden,
councillor,
Campbell,
councillor,
Edwards,
councillor,
asabi,
George,
councillor,
Flynn,
Council
Emma
here
and
please
also
add
the
chair.
A
B
A
N
You
sorry
thank
you
very
much,
Madam
President.
This
is
continuing
our
conversation
as
mayor
mayor
Walsh
approved
a
revised
Boston
jobs
policy
in
2017
that
required
a
hearing
in
April
and
I'm
hearing
in
October
to
review
and
analyze
all
of
the
data,
especially
with
contractors
who
are
working
on
city
projects.
N
What
we
wanted
to
make
sure
is
that,
as
we
were,
building
the
city,
those
who
are
building
and
those
construction
companies
were
submitting
their
data
to
demonstrate
that
they
are
in
compliance
or
not
with
the
Boston
Jobs
policy,
which
requires
51%
FASTA
residents
of
Boston
40%
people
of
color
and
12%
women.
As
a
result,
the
hearing
we
had
our
first
hearing
actually
in
October
2000
19
in
October
2018.
Excuse
me
at
that
time.
N
Council,
president
and
I,
and
then
councilor
Pressley
had
called
for
that
first
hearing,
subsequently
on
April
2019
and
then
in
October
in
2019.
We've
had
that.
So
we
are
continuing
that
part's
conversations
I
think
actually
got
more
robust
and
more
inclusive,
and
we've
been
talking
about
specifically
enforcement,
which
is
one
of
the
biggest
issues
that
we
had
is
despite
people
were
violating
the
Boston
Jobs
policy
and
nothing
was
happening.
N
We
were
also
looking
at
pipeline
development
with
the
chief
barrows
office
had
talked
about
how
there
is
an
issue
with
folks
who
are
qualified
and
able
to
work
on
the
job
sites.
Meeting
this
criteria
so
wanted
to
create
a
pipeline.
They
have
CSL
classes,
for
example
at
the
Office
of
Economic
Development,
which
I
thought
was
great
and
also
there
was
the
issue
of
bad
actors.
N
What
I
pointed
out
to
the
chief
and
many
of
us
had
concerns
about
is
the
fact
that,
under
his
under
his
house,
there's
the
work
office
of
Workforce
Development
and
then
there's
also
the
this
Boston
jobs
policy.
But
we
noticed
on
a
project,
for
example
in
East
Boston,
where
a
person
had
worked
on
a
city
project
bid
for
that
City
project.
N
They
did
not
pay
their
workers,
but
they
were
still
able
to
get
being
a
contract,
because
the
two
offices
were
not
talking
to
each
other
and,
as
many
of
us
have
discussed,
wage
theft
being
a
big
issue,
we
wanted
that
to
be
also
a
check
that
the
office
was
going
to
continue
to
look
at.
If
you
didn't
pay,
your
workers
had
OSHA
violations.
How
are
you
able
to
continue
to
bid
on
the
other
hands?
We
want
to
both
hands
talking
to
each
other
and
the
administration
wholeheartedly
agreed.
N
A
A
This
is
an
economic
and
racial
justice
issue
ensuring
that
construction
jobs
created
by
this
booming
economy
that
we
have
here
in
Boston,
this
big
construction
boom
that
these
jobs
are
actually
going
to
Boston
residents,
people
of
color
and
women.
That
is
important,
particularly
if
we
are
going
to
have
progress
and
move
forward
when
it
comes
to
closing
our
wealth
gap.
Here
in
Boston,
these
jobs
are
well-paying.
A
They
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
racial
and
economic
makeup
of
our
neighborhoods,
but
yet
too
often
too
many
people
who,
who
come
from
our
neighborhoods
in
Boston
too
many
people
who
are
people
of
color
or
women,
are
not
getting
these
jobs.
These
jobs
sites
often
have
vehicles
coming
from
New,
Hampshire
out
of
state
Rhode,
Island
or
other
surrounding
towns,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
living
up
to
our
own
standards
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
that
Boston
residents,
people
of
color
and
women
are
getting
onto
these
construction
sites.
A
The
Beck
plays
a
very
important
role
in
this
process
and
it's
important
that
we
do
everything
possible
to
ensure
that
they
have
the
appropriate
resources,
the
staffing
to
provide
the
oversight
and
that
we
continue
to
monitor
this
folks
know
I,
monitor
construction
jobs
in
my
district,
and
this
is
really
important.
I
also
want
to
just
take
a
moment
to
thank
all
of
the
partners
who
do
amazing
work,
certainly
as
I
monitor
construction
jobs,
there's
B
G,
there's
the
Boston
jobs
coalition.
A
There's
the
monitoring
committee
that
I've
already
mentioned,
and
the
members
there
I
look
forward
to
a
very
productive
hearing
and
I,
encourage
my
my
colleagues
to
participate
in
that
hearing.
I
look
forward
to
the
next
steps
to
help
us
achieve
our
shared
goals
of
diversity
and
local
jobs
for
local
residents.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
F
K
You
councillor
O'malley
and
again
thank
you
to
Council
at
Jamie
and
to
council
Edwards
for
the
a
leadership
to
the
mayor's
office
as
well.
We
had
several
robust
discussions
on
this
important
issue
in
as
councillor
Edwards
mentioned,
wage
theft
is
a
serious
issue
facing
our
city.
That
should
really
never
be
any
place
in
Boston
for
someone
that
doesn't
pay
their
workers
a
decent
wage
or
a
work
of
protection.
K
Also
part
of
the
discussion
we've
had
and
they've
made
excellent
contributions
in
improving
the
lives
of
so
many
people,
as
the
Boston
building
trades
have
been
an
active
partner.
They
have
been
here
with
us
fighting
for
decent
wages
for
our
workers
and
health
care
and
work
of
protection,
so
I
want
to
also
recognize
the
Boston
building
traits
of
being
an
active
partner
as
well
in
in
this
important
issue.
Thank
you.
Madam
president.

A
A
A
A
B
A
A
A
A
M
You,
madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
the
passing
of
Steve
Ross,
a
real
legend
in
the
city
and
the
father
of
my
cross,
my
predecessor,
by
two
in
district
8
here
on
this
body
and
and
I,
think
it's
important
important
to
to
talk
about
him.
Just
for
a
moment
today,
not
least
because,
as
we
stand
here,
the
family
is
celebrating
the
funeral
in
Brookline.
M
Ross
died,
a
new
had
a
successful
career
dying
and
if
you
know,
and
if
he
had
founded
as
he
did,
the
New
England
Holocaust
Memorial
and
really
brought
the
word
to
this
whole
city.
This
whole
region
about
the
importance
of
remembering
that
moment,
so
that
we
never
follow
the
past
that
lead
in
that
direction
again,
that
that
would
have
been
enough,
but
then
to
also
work
with
young
people
throughout
his
life
and
spread
that
message
and
sort
of
that
message
of
really
going
through
total
darkness
and
into
a
place
of
hope.
A
Thank
you
so
much
counselor
Bach.
Anyone
else
have
any
announcements.
I
will
just
acknowledging
that
today
is
Ash.
Wednesday
want
to
inform
folks
that
in
outside
of
the
mayor's
office
and
the
reception
area
that
they
will
be
distributing
ashes
for
folks.
So
if
anyone
missed
Mass
this
morning,
I
think
they
can
go
get
blessed
today
here
at
City,
Hall
I'm
also
a
friendly
reminder
that
our
black
history
celebration,
which
is
being
hosted
by
myself
along
with
councilor
Campbell
councillor,
Edwards
and
councillor
Mejia,
is
today
here
in
the
chamber
at
2:30.
A
We
have
a
little
break
before
then
I
know
folks
might
get
hungry,
but
I
do
want
to
remind
you
that
we
will
have
amazing
food
at
this
celebration.
So
take
a
little
snack
now,
but
save
your
appetite
for
down-home,
cook,
cooking
and
slade's.
Again,
we
will
meet
here
in
the
chamber
at
2:30
for
the
Black
History
Month
celebration
over
the
last
few
years.
We've
had
amazing
celebrations.
A
Last
year,
we
honored
black
girl
magic,
like
we
do
every
single
day,
and
today
we
are
celebrating
black
workers
in
the
labor
movement
I'm
reminded
of
people
like
a
philip
randolph
who,
in
1937
founded
our
nation's
first
official
black
labor
union,
the
Brotherhood
of
sleeping
car
porters,
I'm
reminded
of
the
the
striking
sanitation
workers
that
brought
dr.
Martin
Luther
King
to
Memphis
in
1968
I'm
reminded
of
so
many
black
leaders
who
have
made
significant
contributions
over
the
years
and
I
feel
really
blessed.
A
A
A
But
for
me
he
was
just
daddy
and
sadly
my
father
passed
away
and
it's
been
really
difficult
these
last
few
days,
but
I
am
very
encouraged
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
There's
been
just
an
amazing
outpouring
of
love
and
support,
not
only
from
my
council,
family
and
essential
staff
and
my
own
staff
and
everyone
in
this
building,
but
really
the
community
as
a
whole
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
I'm.
Just
really
grateful
for
the
outpouring
of
love
and
support
and
I'm
grateful
to
be
able
to
carry
on
his
work.
