who

and

We
also
have
a
number
of
BC
YF
staff.
B
B
You
will
have
documents
that
outline
our
FY
18
accomplishments,
along
with
our
FY
19
initiatives,
I'm
going
to
take
a
minute
to
highlight
a
few
of
those
accomplishments
for
you
in
FY
18
we've
increased
the
number
of
teams
of
teams
of
teens
participating
in
our
youth
venture
program.
23
bcy
of
teams
are
part
of
this
team
entrepreneurial
program,
learning
everything
from
creating
a
business
model,
drafting
a
business
plan
and
launching
a
product
or
service
over
seventeen
hundred
girls
participated
in
our
citywide
girls,
night
activities
and
workshops
throughout
2017.
B
The
BC
YF
Draper
pool
and
bcy
of
condom
community
center
became
a
new
six
day
a
week
sites
for
the
first
time
ever
now,
opening
up
on
Saturdays
we've
celebrated
several
capital
improvements,
including
the
opening
of
the
BC
YF
Parrish
Street
Community
Center,
following
a
12
million
dollar
renovation.
The
opening
of
the
yard
at
the
BC
YF
Tobin
Community
Mission
Hill,
which
was
another
additional
investment
of
nine
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
of
renovations,
has
provided
the
community
with
a
new
open
space
for
programming,
special
events,
and
we
hope
more.
B
We
have
worked
closely
with
the
city
of
Boston's
law
department
to
draft
site
council
MO
use.
The
mo
use
will
help
address
inconsistency
across
sites
and
help
define
the
role
and
responsibilities
of
site
councils.
The
MOU
has
been
discussed
with
all
councils
and
expected
to
be
signed
by
all
parties.
During
this
summer,
we've
increased
our
outreach
to
Boston
seniors
through
attending
more
senior
resource
fairs,
adding
senior
page
to
our
website,
creating
a
senior
marketing
materials
and
providing
a
database
of
BC
wives
senior
programming
to
Boston
elder
services
providers.
B
We
have
also
listened
to
the
community
concerns
and
commitments
and
comments
and
opened
an
enhanced
senior
program
at
the
BC
YF
Orem
burger
community
center.
For
the
first
time
ever,
all
our
bcy
of
city
wide
summer
programs
are
offered
online
with
a
new
online
registration
process
working
with
the
foundation
for
DCYF.
The
development
team
increased
the
revenue
raised
at
our
annual
fundraiser
hub
knob
to
three
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand,
all
of
which
goes
back
into
our
centers
for
programming.
B
We
want
to
increase
positive
interaction
with
local
youth,
strengthening
community
relations
and
to
listen
to
and
address
the
public
safety
concerns
of
residents,
and
the
FY
19
budget
will
invest
1.6
million
into
the
BC
YF
street
worker
program
to
continue
their
work
of
reducing
crime
and
violence
in
the
community
by
building
meaningful
relationships
with
youth
in
need.
This
investment
will
bring
more
social
services
to
promote
safe
neighborhoods
in
the
city
and
bring
more
resources
to
youth
and
families.
B
Thanks
to
the
IT
investments
proposal
process,
we
were
provided
and
funded
to
acquire
a
new
input
and
a
new
acquire
a
new
and
implement
a
new
ment
tracking
system
that
meets
our
data
and
operational
needs,
provides
constituent
members
with
better
service,
integrates
more
seamlessly,
with
b
c
YF
and
city
of
boston
systems
and
will
be
able
to
grow
and
change.
As
we
do,
we
will
partner
with
our
foundation
to
continue
to
identify
and
engage
strategic
partnerships
and
secure
new
large
institutional
sponsors
and
financial
supporters
to
support
the
important
work
that
we
do.
B
C
A
A
B
B
A
B
That's
part
of
the
explanation
and
went
out
yeah
it
came
in
and
went
out.
That's
part
of
the
explanation,
though
so
there's
been
a
renewing
of
utility
fees
and
so
forth
as
well
that
that
we're
looking
at
and
they
might
be,
some
costs
and
savings.
But
overall
we
also
have
picked
up.
Guess:
we've
picked
up
additional
positions
that
are
gonna,
be
very
helpful
to
us.
B
D
Yes,
so
for
FY
19
we're
getting
some
additional
positions
at
the
Marshall
Community
Center
we're
getting
two
lifeguards
in
another,
a
building
manager
position
and
also
at
the
county
community
center
we're
getting
two
additional
employees
to
help
support
the
six
day
a
week
operation.
So
we
get
a
couple
but
I
think
net
and
ends
up
coming
off
pretty
pretty
similar.
But
we
did
gain
a
couple
positions
this
year
over
last
year
and.
A
B
B
Literature
there
to
basically
support
any
new
immigrants
who
might
have
any
questions
or
concerns
or
are
just
looking
for
resources,
part
of
the
that
provides
our
staff
with
the
opportunity
to
gain
them
information
where
they
can
contact
either
the
Moyer
office
or
other
offices
that
support
their
goals
as
they're
trying
to
maneuver.
Through
this,
this
era
of
immigration
and.
A
D
I'm,
pretty
sure
I
mean
obviously
it's
kind
of
like
a
snow
removal
budget
where
you
always
kind
of
budget
the
same
thing
you
go
over
and
you
deal
with
it,
just
not
knowing
where
it's
going
to
land
but
I
think
right
now
or
up
around
I.
Think
two
hundred
thousand
right
now
give
or
take,
and
most
of
that
overtime
is
generated
due
to
facilities,
snow
removal
and
lifeguards.
D
If
there's
a
VAE,
if
there's
a
lifeguard,
that's
out,
obviously
we
have
ratios
to
maintain
and
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
you
know
properly
staffed
when
it
comes
to
lifeguards.
So
if
someone
calls
out
there's
a
lot
of
that,
all
the
time
is
dedicated
towards
coverage
with
regards
to
the
pools
and
lifeguards
okay,
great.
F
Thank
you.
I
just
had
a
couple
questions
to
go
through
some
of
our
ear
analysis
about
the
mo
use,
but
also
some
of
the
services
in
my
district.
So
first
I
want
to
commend
you
actually
on
your
leadership
and
getting
ahead
and
working
to
make
sure
that
the
mo
use
are
in
place
and
that
we
were
trying
to
get
essentially
transparency,
accountability
and.
E
F
I
understand
it
that
is
really
to
make
sure
that
there's
true
equity
in
the
centers
as
each
one
is
raising
its
money,
but
also
have
different
resources
and
different
communities
feel
to
raise
money
around
them.
So
I
want
to
say
first
thank
you
for
that,
and
then
I
just
wanted
to
ask
for
that.
Update
then,
in
terms
of
not
only
are
you
preparing
the
mo
use,
but
is
that
when
is
the,
when
will
they
have
to
be
signed
and
also
if
they
aren't
signed?
What
are
what
are
the
next
steps?
Okay,.
B
B
F
F
B
F
B
Can't
pick
and
pick
through
their
books,
I
mean
we
can
definitely
surface
990s,
but
sometimes
that
doesn't
paint
the
clear
picture
of
what
it
is.
But
but,
like
I
said
it
currently
right
now,
I
couldn't,
but
hopefully
in
the
future,
we'll
be
able
to
be
able
to
share
that
with
the
council
and
with
the
city
and
regards
what
how
they
actually
collect
him,
how
they
we
reinvest
back
into
the
center's
okay.
F
So
so
summer
is
coming
up
and
I
know,
that's
really,
prime
time
for,
for
you
guys
it's
when
you
shine
the
most
and
and
the
city
probably
needs
your
department,
the
most
during
the
summer
time,
because
our
kids
are
out
there
and
I
just
again
want
to
commend
you
for
the
work
that
you've
done
already
and
at
least
my
district
I'm
hearing
about
all
the
center's
and
the
BC
YF
Paris
Street.
Knowing
that
our
pool
is
getting
taken.
F
Care
of
that's
a
huge
deal
for
us
and
I
want
to
thank
you,
and
also
personally
thank
mr.
Supriyo
for
his
work.
I
see
him
everywhere,
fully
dedicated
to
his
community
and
the
kids
in
the
community,
but
I
wanted
you
to
tell
me
a
little
bit
more
educate
me
a
little
bit
more
about
some
of
the
prevention
work
that
or
is
BC
BC
yof
working
in
prevention
of
two
areas.
I
know
when
it
comes
to
street
violence,
absolutely
and
but
also
when
it
comes
to
providing
prevention.
E
F
C
You
know,
as
we
think
of,
and
that
was
a
great
question,
because
I
think
it's
something
that
we
don't
think
about
as
much
as
we
should
you
know,
substance
abuse
is
clearly
a
a
concern
as
we
we
see
all
the
ravages
of
the
opioid
crisis
across
the
country,
and
one
of
the
things
that
that
I
want
to
say
is
all
the
work
that
we
do
around.
Prevention
is
really
to
address
that
issue.
C
You
know,
as
we
think,
about
the
40
camps
that
we're
providing,
as
we
think,
about
the
important
employment
opportunities
that
we're
providing
for
young
people,
as
we
think
about
the
recreational
opportunities
that
we
provide,
etc.
But
the
one
thing
I
think
that
that
is
going
to
be
great
for
us
on
the
summer,
as
we
continue
to
work
with
the
office
of
recovery,
is
they
really
think
about
intentionally
how
we
are
giving
young
people
the
tools
to
address
those
issues
and
will
continue
to
work
alongside
the
office
of
recovery?
C
But
the
one
thing
that
we
did
do
in
recent
years
is
that
we
took
all
of
our
youth
workers
through
training,
around
substance
abuse
and
we
in
partnership
with
an
external
organization.
We
have
a
curriculum
that
we
developed
and
that
curriculum
is
still
in
use
today,
and
so
we
encourage
our
youth
workers
to
continue
to
use
that
curriculum
to
engage
young
people,
but
especially
as
you,
as
you
mentioned,
you
know
as
young
as
six
years
old.
C
You
know
we
have
to
absolutely
absolutely
and
one
make
sure
that
parents
are
part
of
that
dialogue,
and
so
you
know,
we've
been
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
get
more
pertinent
parental
involvement
around
those
types
of
conversations
which,
as
everyone
knows,
it's
it's
not
always
easy,
and
it's
not
something
that
is
specific
to
be
cyf.
I.
Think,
that's
always
a
challenge
with
a
lot
of
youth
serving
agencies
when
they're
trying
to
engage
parents,
but
that's
what
we
want
to
do.
We
want
to
engage
parents
more
around
that
issue
and.
F
Speaking
of
cohesive
and
working
together,
there
are
a
lot
of
nonprofits
that
are
dedicated
to
also
working
with
our
youth
and
I
was
just
curious
about
your
relationships,
or
do
you
work
with
rogue
with
he
back
in
East,
Boston
and
the
soccer
programs,
and
just
tell
me
how
you?
Because
the
worst
is
that
you
have
replication?
Yes,.
C
C
Yes
and
I
think
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
you
know
is
important
and
so
that
we're
not
duplicating
services
is
that
what
we're
talking
on
a
regular
basis-
and
we
happen
to
be
fortunate
and
that
all
the
partners
that
you
mentioned-
we
actually
have
close
working
relationships.
So
we
talking
about
on
a
regular
basis,
Roker
attend
some
of
our
meetings,
we're
out
in
East
Boston
all
the
time,
and
so
you
know
we
basically
want
to
be
able
to.
You
know,
fill
in
the
gaps
and
we
can't
fill
in
the
gaps.
F
D
Council,
so
that
bubble
has
been
operated
by
BCU
I.
Well,
it's
been
a
DCYF
facility
or
asset
for
a
number
of
years.
Now
the
tennis
courts
themselves
are
owned
by
Boston
Public
Schools
we've
been
in
close
partnership
with
with
this,
the
Stillman
Tennis
Center
I've
been
in
regular
talks
with
both
BPS
facilities,
Parks
and
Rec,
and
also
office
of
neighborhood
services
around
how
that's
gonna
work,
but
the
bubble
reached
the
end
of
its
life
expectancy
and
it
actually
lasts
a
lot
longer
than
they
would
have
typically
thought
it
would.
D
So
now
that
that's
been
removed,
like
I,
said
again,
I
know
that
those
folks
have
been
talking
to
Neighborhood,
Services
and
whatnot,
and
we've
also
been
updating
the
mayor's
office
around
that
whole
situation.
Ultimately,
I
think
the
biggest
question
is
what
the
future
of
that
looks
like,
and
you
know
we're
happy
to
help
in
any
way
necessary.
But
really
the
big
part
of
BC
OFS
operation
has
now
been
removed
from
that
facility.
All.
G
You
mr.
chair
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here
just
to
kind
of
echo,
the
comments
and
questions
and
concerns
raised
by
my
colleague,
councillor
Edwards
around
the
MOU
I,
think
it's
very
important
that
it's
moving
forward
so
that
we
have
accountability
and
transparency
I
think
it's
also
very
important
for
equity
to
make
sure
that
the
different
centers
are
much
more
equitable,
but
I
think
it's
also
important
to
maintain
that
kind
of
community
spirit
and
that
there
continue
to
be
community
driven
in
this
process.
G
D
Yes,
is
it
still
on
track?
Renovations
are
going
extremely
well.
The
place
looks
great
they're,
making
a
lot
of
progress,
I
go
to
the
weekly
job
meetings
there
and-
and
things
are
looking
really
good.
We
obviously
do
that
in
partnership
with
the
public
facilities,
Department,
no
issues
with
regards
to
timeline
or
schedule,
so
we're
very
much
on
track
for
the
same
for
that
completion
date
and.
G
G
D
So
what
we're
doing
right
now
is
the
staff
and
the
programs
have
been
relocated
between
you,
the
the
Blackstone
community
center
on
the
south
end
and
Madison
Park
Community
Center,
which
is
in
close
proximity
to
Vine
Street.
So
those
are
the
two
sites
that
have
seen
a
majority
of
the
the
services
that
were
offered
prior
and
also
the
Tobin
Community
Center,
which
is
also
very
close.
Proximity.
G
B
B
G
C
You
know
it's
been
three
years
since
we
worked
alongside
the
Boston
foundation
to
incorporate
their
streets,
a
staff
into
BC
Wi-Fi
was
a
3.1
million
dollars
at
the
time,
and
we
were
at
the
end
of
on
that
funding.
So
the
funding
is
basically
gonna,
be
dry
enough,
after
probably
at
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year
and
well,
actually
I'm
going
into
the
beginning
of
the
next
fiscal
year.
But
one
of
the
things
that
we
think
is
critically
important
is
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
really
think
about.
C
You
know
how
we're
operating
in
terms
of
the
the
structure
of
the
work
and
so
I
think
that
we're
gonna
really
be
able
to
be
intentional
around
only
having
an
adequate
staff
out
on
the
ground.
We
currently
have
47.
We
don't
anticipate
those
numbers
dwindling
much,
but
the
addition
I
think
we're
gonna
have
to
really
think
about.
How
do
we
provide
the
wraparound
services
which
currently
the
street
workers
are
building
the
relationships
with
young
people
on
the
ground,
but
also
going
around
and
and
and
and
secure
and
those
wraparound
services?
Just.
G
C
G
B
D
So
we
had
a
prior
MOU
in
place
with
Boston
Public,
Schools
I,
think
dated
back.
It
was
signed
and
I
believe
2009
we've
been
in
close
talks
with
Boston
Public
Schools
as
as
well
as
the
council,
and
we
used
to
get
that
because
of
this,
such
a
close
relationship
between
the
two
agencies
to
get
something
showed
up.
Be
CYFS
made
some
recommendations,
some
edits
to
the
MOU,
that's
been
handed
over
to
Boston
Public
Schools
for
their
review
and
their
feedback
from
their
principals.
D
And
then
what
we
were
planning
on
doing
is
getting
the
new
MOU
signed
and
rolled
out
to
all
of
our
site
coordinators
that
are
in
school
buildings,
as
well
as
the
school
principals
from
those
schools
everyone's
on
the
same
page,
but
we're
just
waiting
on
feedback
from
Boston
Public
Schools
on
their
end,
and
then
hopefully
you
know
hopefully
get
an
implementation
in
sign
prior
to
the
summer.
Are.
D
Wasn't
the
D
MOU
that
was
put
together
in
2009
was
really
good.
It
was
really
kind
of
covering
our
both's
concerns
and
both
needs.
What
it
was
more
of
was
just
that
folks
became
unfamiliar
with
the
document
due
to
turnover
in
both
BC
uif,
in
turnover
both
with
principles
that
they
just
didn't
even
know
that
the
you
know
the
doctrine
existed
and
the
enforcement
of
it
and
that
it
was
it
was
around
because
it's
signed
by
folks
that
are
no
longer
here,
so
it
wasn't
so
much
the
content
of
the
document
that
wasn't
good.
D
It
was
more
or
less
there
refresh
they're
getting
updated
signatures,
getting
a
new
refreshed
agreement.
Some
of
the
things
were
small
I
mean
some
of
the
things
we
recommended
on
our
end
or
just
you
know
ensuring
that
you
know
ensuring
that
schools
are
cleared
during
snowstorms
and
things
like
that
when
we
have
to
open
up
facilities,
I
mean
we
work
very
well
with
Boston
Public
Schools,
so
it
wasn't
any
major
change.
It's
just
just
small
kind
of
different
things,
around
scheduling
and
permitting,
and
things
like
that.
D
A
H
You
very
much
mr.
chair
and
welcome
gentlemen.
I
just
have
a
couple
things
really.
First,
I'll
start
with
a
good
thing:
the
Mattapan
capital
budget
and
at
the
matter
hunt
you
just
give
me
a
quick,
quick
overview
of
the
timeline
and
the
total
expense.
As
you
guys
know,
the
Matta
has
gone
through
a
transition.
It's
been
a
tough
time
for
that
immediate
neighborhood,
with
closing
and
reopening
of
the
school
and
in
a
different
vehicle
Wheelock,
and
some
of
the
issues
that
we've
had
there.
H
B
Sure
in
Mike
maybe
add
a
little
bit
more
of
this,
but
when
we
look
at
this
suppose
be
a
schedule.
Improvement
at
1.9
million
VCF
took
back
the
operation
back
in
July
of
2015
and
ironically
enough.
I
was
the
one
at
Wheelock
who
took
it
from
the
city.
So
when
I
came
back,
I
had
to
take
it
back
so
I'm,
the
guy
from
the
bouquet.
B
I
think
that
the
capital
investments
are
just
gonna,
hopefully
help
us
augment
it's
its
presence
there
even
further
more,
and
we
had
sort
of
this
like
conversation
with
parks
and
recs
in
regards
to
that
space
and
looking
at
what
could
be
the
potential
with
a
beautiful
feel
in
the
back
that
if
it
got
a
little
bit
of
TLC,
who
knows
what
the
impact
would
be.
But
you
have
anything
else,
yeah.
D
Just
the
like,
like
like
the
commissioners
stating
it's
around
two
million
dollars,
we
haven't
done
design
our
selection.
Yet
so
obviously
that's
tell
us
to
happen
and
then,
once
the
designers
selected
we'll
get
more
into
the
nitty-gritty
around
the
the
public
comments
and
the
in
the
community
outreach
side
of
it.
But
it's
it's
focused
around
I
think
some
work.
D
A
lot
of
the
work
is
focused
on
the
community
center
parts
of
the
building,
so
the
gym
the
community
room
some
fresh
improvements
in
those
areas
to
help
us
because
I
know
it's
part
of
the
changeover
to
early
education.
Center
BPS
had
promised-
and
you
know
and
had
spoke
about
some
improvements
to
the
community
center
as
part
of
that
transition.
D
So
we're
very
excited
to
be
back
and
be
there
in
or
serve
that
community
and
we're
excited
about
the
two
million
dollar
investments,
the
that
the
mayor's
dedicated
towards
that
Center
to
help
us
improve
some
of
the
spaces
that
that
we
have
like
I,
said
gym
the
gym
and
the
community
space
there.
So
we're
excited
about
that,
but
we're
not
quite
at
the
point
console
yet
of
designer
selection
so
hopefully
be
getting
there
soon.
That's
great.
H
And
then,
as
we
move
forward,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that,
because
it's
really
important
to
the
community
and
we'll
mention
the
the
field.
That's
next
door.
Chris
knows
we've
been
seen
in
that
for
years,
it's
more
of
a
it's
more
of
a
vacant
lot
that
happens
to
be
mowed
more
so
than
an
actual
playing
service.
So
as
we
move
forward
with
future
capital
plans,
that
would
be
a
perfect
and
then
I
know.
H
Chris
Cook
is
gonna,
just
kind
of
kill
me
for
even
bringing
it
up,
but
you
know
that
would
be
a
perfect
opportunity
to
put
like
another
turf
field
in
and
I
know
they're
expensive.
But
once
when
they're
down
I
mean
we
all
know,
Almonte
Park
is
just
jam-packed,
it's
become
the
jewel
of
Parks
and
Rec,
and
it
would
really
be
nice
that
if
we
could
take
a
look
at
that
field,
rehab
that
field,
for
you
know
soccer
lacrosse
cricket
I
mean
it
can
be
an
all-purpose
tariff.
So
it's
a
great
great
piece
of
land.
H
We
should
be
looking
at
my
second
questions
on
the
extended
hours
in
the
schedule.
Changes
of
the
community
centers
I've
got
a
number
of
great
community
centers,
great
directors.
They
run
great
programs.
How
effective
has
the
the
changes
in
hours
the
additional
days
that
type
of
stuff
worked
not
only
in
district
5
but
throughout
the
city?
Have
we
found
that
we've?
It's
been
a
it's
been
a
good
change
or
not
yeah
I.
B
Mean
yeah
I
mean
overall
from
me,
I
think
it's
been
a
good
change.
I've
had
constituents
come
to
me
and
said
you
know
the
fact
that
now
Sunday's
are
open
in
certain
facilities.
It
gives
me
time
to
do
things
with
my
family.
As
you
know,
you
know
we
have
families
that
are
you
know
how
about
working
in
two
Saturdays
now,
and
sometimes
they
just
don't
have
that
time
to
spend
with
their
kids,
so
I've
gotten
at
least
some
good
feedback.
B
But
hopefully
allow
us
to
capture
you
more
additional
number,
those
numbers
more
accurately
and
give
us
a
good
picture
of
what
you
know
what
certain
hours
are
doing
and
how
they're
being
utilized
to
allow
us
to
make.
Whatever
adjustments.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
they
were.
But
I
can
tell
you
that
in
the
evening
hours,
especially
in
the
communities
that
been
most
impacted
with
the
concerns
of
violence
and
not
giving
many
opportunities
for
kids
to
participate.
B
Those
residents
have
spoke
volumes,
it's
great,
that
they
can
pick
up
their
kid
at
nine
o'clock,
but
they're
in
a
safe
space
like
the
Shelbourne
community
center
or
at
the
Vine
Street,
when
the
bio
stream
was
open
at
that
hour
and
that
we
weren't
shutting
them
down
at
eight
or
seven
o'clock
like
what
we
we've
had
previously
so
right.
That's.
H
Great
thank
you
and
it
will
work
once
we
start
to
capture
those
numbers
it'll.
The
proof
will
be
in
the
pudding.
So
I
appreciate
that
my
last
question
I
bring
it
up.
Every
year
since
I've
been
on
the
council
as
the
fundraising
for
and
I
know,
I
met
with
chief
Martinez
who's,
hiding
up
there
in
the
crowd.
H
First
role,
you
must
be
doing
all
right,
but
having
said
that,
you
know
the
fundraising
for
each
community
center,
each
Community
Center
does
it
differently
whether
it's
Road
races,
a
golf
tournament,
two
other
things:
the
one
thing
that
we've
talked
about
at
length
and
I
just
want
to
see
where
we're
at
with
it
is
the
renting
out
of
space
for
community
functions,
particularly
in
district
5.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
large
function,
halls
that
can
do
80,
100
120
200
people,
whether
it's
a
senior
event
I
know
to
my
left.
H
Councillor
Malley
has
several
big
spaces
like
the
our
social
club.
You
know
we
we
don't
really
have
any
big
spaces
like
that
and
the
resistance
in
the
previous
administration,
for
you
know
beer
and
wine
and
having
it
now
I
don't
mean
to
turn
every
single
community
center
into
the
Irish
Animal
Society.
H
But
having
said
that,
we're
missing
I
think
we're
missing
a
great
opportunity
to
raise
some
dough
for
the
community
center
without
actually
constantly
hitting
the
same
people
to
to
sponsor
holes
in
the
golf
try
to
run
the
road
race
to
go
to
the
you
know,
whatever
the
next
function
is
so
where
are
we
with
that?
If
we,
if
we
looked
into
that
a
little
bit
deeper,
I,
think.
B
B
You
know
it's
one
of
those
things
that,
with
the
the
new
structure,
the
MOU
is
right.
Some
of
the
rental
fees
and
membership
fees
are
actually
returning
back
to
the
city
and
I
mean,
and
so
part
of
it
is
I
think
we
have
to
continue
to
look
at
it
a
little
bit
more
closer
and
just
make
sure
that
we
might
say
just
beer
and
wine,
but
god
forbid,
if
something
happens,
and
it
gets
tracked
back
to
the
center.
You
know
who
actually
owns
it.
H
Here's
the
thing
I'll
just
end
it
with
this
yeah,
the
city
of
Boston.
We
continue
to
hide
behind
the
word
liability
and
it's
not
a
criticism.
It's
just
my
own
opinion.
Every
time
we
try
to
go
outside
the
bounds
of
whatever
we
used
to
do,
it's
full
liability
who's
to
blame.
We
have
a
whole
sixth
floor
worth
a
lawyer's
up
there.
They
should
be
able
to
figure
this
out
and
it's
it's
the
the
people
who
need
it
the
most.
H
A
I
You,
mr.
chairman
and
good
afternoon,
gentlemen,
thank
you
for
all.
You
do
one
just
begin
by
echoing
the
sentiments
by
my
good
colleague
from
district
5.
You
know
change
change
can
be
uncomfortable
as
we
know,
but
I
think
sometimes
we
need
to
get
outside
of
our
own
comfort
zone
and
sort
of
embrace
new
ideas,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
the
sustainability
of
such
important
programs.
I
B
Sure
I
think
that
last
year
what
we
had
was
really
sort
of
understanding
of
who
actually
occurred.
The
cost
of
running
senior
programming
there
and
I
think
that
sitting
with
Cathy
Cummings
and
Dave,
Gorman
and
and
kind
of
exploring
more,
you
know
we
were
able
to
find
a
solution
and
to
the
to
the
need
there
in
regards
to
senior
programming
that
I
think
it's
been
mutually
beneficial
to
to
to
both
the
city
and
into
the
console
itself.
You
know,
and
so
I'm
very
proud.
B
Actually
it
had
hoped
to
actually
invite
some
of
those
seniors
here
to
actually
testify
today,
who
have
been
benefiting
from
that
program
and
one
one
of
the
things
that's
really
beautiful
is
that
it's
also
seeing
them
also
get
tapped
to
other
City
support
services
as
well.
You
know
some
have
been
connected
to
some
of
the
housing
senior
housing
support
that
tends
to
happen.
B
Some
of
them
can't
get
on
top
of
their
roofs
and
clean
those
centers
out,
and
so
we've
seen
those
those
dots
being
connected
because
of
because
of
the
relationship
and
I
think
it's
served
as
an
example.
One
to
the
point
that
one
of
the
recent
benefits
that
I've
seen
is
that
now
they're
Curtis
Hall,
which
is
under
your
your
your
your
district,
is
actually
tapping
the
expertise
over
at
the
arm
burger
to
think
about
what
the
senior
programming
look
and
how
does
they
get
reinfected
reinvented
at
Curtis.
All
so.
B
We've
seen
that
that
when
we
work
in
a
very
collaborative
way
that
we
can
have
a
collective
impact
and
how
our
communities
can
actually
be
served
in
and
do
the
work
that
we're
doing,
and
it's
really
nice,
because
we
just
recently
had
a
really
good.
And
while
you
talk
with
the
Orang
burger
council
too,
as
well
and
and
and
and
I,
think
that
we're
in
a
way
better
place
than
we've
ever
been
in.
I
B
There
wasn't,
it
was
just
the
one
plan
of
operations
that
was
written
in
1973-74
under
the
white
administration,
so
that
this
is
gonna,
be
a
very
new
thing
for
a
lot
of
the
councils,
but
I
think
it's
one
that
they
themselves
have
been
wanting
as
well,
because
it
kind
of
spells
out
a
lot
of
things
have
changed
in
40
years
and
especially
the
way
nonprofits
work
with
city
entities
or
with
local
government
and
I.
Think
this
gives
it
a
little
bit
more
clarity
and
understanding
what
our
parts
are
well.
J
I
I
So
what
was
able
to
have
been
done?
The
new
hours
were
to
remain
sort
of
later.
Yet
we
were
able
to
bring
in
someone
who
could
senior
coordinator
who
could
help
coordinate
that
program,
and
so
there
has
been
zero
loss
of
senior
programming
between
offered
right
now
and
what
was
offered
two
years
ago,
yeah
great
perfect,
thank
you
and
then
have
you
seen
memberships
increase
with
the
our
changes
there
with
the
you
know,
with
the
later
hours,
yeah.
B
I
Yeah
I'm
more
curious
than
anything
else,
because
I
think
you
know,
will
you
you
also
have
had
a
great
career
at
YMCA
before
this
I'm,
a
member
of
both
community
centers
and
YMCA
and
I
know
that
you
wanted
to
make
community
centers
a
real
rival
for
the
YMCA.
So
that'll
be
helpful
if
we
can
get
the
even
approximate
numbers
and
use
that
as
a
metric
to
check
you
know
quarterly,
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
steam
programs
that
are
being
offered
at
Curtis
Hall
in
Jamaica
Plain,
the
senior
programs.
B
I
B
Art,
arts
and
math,
but
I,
know
that
we've
had
a
robotics
program
over
at
the
mini.
No
senator
that
really
looks
very
favorable.
One
of
the
things
that
we've
done
in
the
last
year
is
that
we've
actually
in
and
I
think
I
might
have
said
this.
Last
year
we
attended
last
year
to
make
sure
that
we
can
create
a
platform
for
the
administrative
coordinators
to
come
together
and
talk
yeah
and
look
at
three
key
areas:
right
program,
operations,
right
and
staff,
develop.
C
C
I
Great
and
then
finally,
a
program
that
I
am
incredibly
proud
of
that
has
been
around
since
I
was
a
young
person,
his
camp
joy
and,
and
you
guys
he
cyf,
runs
camp
joy.
Do
you
have
the
numbers
on
that?
How
many
kids
participate
in
camp
joy
every
summer
and
have
we
seen
an
increase
and
do
we
have
enough
young
people
involved
as
counselors
camp.
C
Camp
Joey
is
I,
you
know
it's
one
of
my
favorite
programs,
first
of
all,
I
think
miss
Roberta
small,
who
was
up
here
in
the
audience
and
does
wonderful
job
at
organizing
that
program,
not
just
in
the
summer
but
year-round
but
in
the
summertime.
You
know
it's
just
a
great
opportunity
to
provide
some
some
equitable
programming
for
for
families
who
sometimes
don't
have
the
means
to
you
know
get
plate,
get
services
for
their
family
special
needs
right,
and
so
you
know
this
year.
C
We're
really
hoping
that
if
nothing
else,
you
are
able
to
be
a
little
bit
consistent.
We
had
over
about
250
young
people
participate
last
year
and
we're
hoping
to
keep
that
level
at
best,
and
so
you
know
one
thing
I
do
want
to
say
is
you
know
it's
been
quite
some
time
since
then
the
staff
have
been
able
to
get
any
funding
in
terms
of
you
know
their
salaries,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we're
really.
C
I
D
Well,
technically,
right
now
we're
working
with
Roberta
to
try
to
reallocate
some
money.
There's
some
new
ISD
gph
guidelines
around
the
ratio,
so
the
ratio
is
getting
a
little
stricter
for
that
program.
So
Roberta
is
currently
working
through
that
to
try
to
reallocate
some
money,
so
we
can
possibly
get
increases
for
her
staff.
She
kind
of
struggles
with
short
program.
D
Obviously,
you
need
our
ends
and
nurses
and
and
and
people
that
qualified
so
she's
really
being
creative
this
year
and
working
that
through,
but
we're
trying
to
use
the
money
previously
allocated
to
compensate
them
and
give
them
a
little
bit
of
a
raise
and
again
also
battling
with
the
more
stricter
ratios
that
have
been
placed
through
the
DPH
regulations.
So
we
get
some
plans
in
place
to
hopefully
address
both
to.
I
Be
helpful
with
that
during
our
budget
process
as
well,
because
it
seems
like
it's
a
common-sense
solution
and
then,
finally,
as
a
relates
to
Camp
joy,
do
we
work
at
all
with
the
families
who
participate
and
say
the
Jason,
Roberts,
challengers,
League
or
other
sport
programs
for
kids
dealing
with
special
needs?
Mental
and
physical
needs
to
make
sure
they're
aware
of
camp
joy
and
to
sort
of
help
grow
that
number,
so
that
250
is
the
baseline,
not
the
not
the
ceiling.
Yeah.
C
We,
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
the
marketing
department,
marketing
and
communications
does
very
well
is
engaged
external
partners
to
one
you
know,
do
some
outreach
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
they're
aware
they
can't
join
exist,
but
also,
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
folks
who
actually
do
some
really
good
stuff
out
there
like
strive,
and
so
you
know
we're
always
talking
with
them.
Just
to
you
know,
figure
out
how
we
can
support
each
other.
But,
yes,
we
spend
quite
a
bit
of
time
around
marketing
and
communications
and
outreach
good.
K
B
E
K
A
piece:
that's
why
I'm
strong,
okay
I'm!
Thank
you
for
that
clarification
and
also
might
mention
the
addition
of
two
new
lifeguards
for
this
coming
year
or
the
new
fiscal
year,
and
there
was
also
two
new
lifeguards
added
last
year
as
well.
But
there
is
a
decrease
in
the
number
of
kids
that
are
accessing
or
individuals
I
guess
they
might
not
be
kids
that
are
accessing
some
of
the
aquatics
programming.
There's
a
decrease
from
think,
like
twenty
three
thousand.
B
K
Page
sixteen
under
sports
and
fitness
again
so
I,
just
I'm,
a
big
proponent
of
teaching,
kids,
how
to
swim.
I
think
that
we
should
have
I
think
it
should
be
mandated
in
all
of
our
public
schools
that
kids
learn
how
to
swim
before
they
graduate
especially
being
a
Harbor,
City
I.
Just
think
it's
a
great
life-saving
skill!
C
Don't
know
why
we
we
dropped
it.
The
projected
number
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
concur
with
the
importance
of
every
young
person
in
this
city
having
an
opportunity
to
learn
how
to
swim.
You
know
I'm
a
young
person,
I
used
to
be
a
young
person
in
the
city
and
and
did
not
learn
how
to
swim
and
actually
just
started
to
learn
how
to
swim.
K
C
One
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
say
is
that
you
know
we
run
a
unbelievable
aquatics
program
and
you
know
Jeff
and
Antonio
have
worked
really
hard
to
grow.
That
program
we
had
over
300
young
people
just
recently
participated
on
a
swim
league
championship
that
was
phenomenal,
but
one
of
the
things
that
I
really
enjoy
about
that
the
the
aquatics
program,
not
only
the
opportunity
for
young
people
to
learn
how
to
swim.
C
Is
that
that's
the
one
place
where
we
know
we
get
great
parent
participation,
because
parents
don't
leave
their
children
that
at
the
pool
they
stay
there,
and
you
know
I
certainly
can
concur
and
I
know
that
those
pools
get
a
lot
of
good
use.
I
was
at
the
flower,
tea
pool
the
other
day
and
the
Draper
pool
the
other
day
and
both
of
those
pools
were
lots
of
young
people
who
didn't
learn
how
to
swim.
So
we
certainly
agree
with
you
and
I
think
we
got
to
go
back
and
look
at
that.
K
C
We
encourage
it,
and
actually
you
know,
as
we
think
about
you,
know:
prevention
and
intervention.
We
think
that
is
one
of
the
the
great
ways
to
get
young
people
to
get
to
know
each
other,
as
we
you
know,
introduce
young
people
across
the
city.
You
know
in
a
space
where
there's
a
pool
or
a
gym
that
they
may
not
have
or
rockwall
that
they
they
may
not
have.
It
gives
them
an
opportunity
to
get
to
know
each
other,
and
so
we
we
certainly
encourage
that
with
our
youth
workers.
Just.
B
Just
add
to
as
well
you
know,
I
mean
we're
gonna
be
making
a
reinvestment
in
the
parish
street
pool.
That's
one
thing:
the
fact
that
we
moved
the
Cleveland
to
the
Marshall
that
has
a
pool,
that's
been
drained
and
not
operational,
yet
I
mean
is
one
that,
hopefully
we
hope
to
be
AB
and
hopefully
to
be
begin
to
invest
the
work
in
it
to
hopefully
have
it
operational,
hopefully
by
the
next
fiscal
year.
B
That
will
add
another
community
pool,
bringing
us
up
to
18
pools
and
are
in
our
community,
but
I
think
that
when
you're
looking
at
the
data,
sometimes
I
think
that
some
of
our
challenges
is
also
our
data
system
that
sometimes
doesn't
capture
the
the
data
that
we
wanted
capture
and
we're
hoping
that,
with
a
new
system
that
we're
gonna
be
bringing
online
will
happily
give
us
the
real
data
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
can
drive
decisions
and
regards
to
the
programs.
What
we
do
but
swimming
to
me
is
very
important.
B
Just
given
the
fact
that
my
first
year
here,
the
tragedy
I
had
to
deal
with
as
a
commissioner.
It's
the
one
area
that
I'm
very
committed
to
make
sure
that
we
can
continue
to
improve
and
make
sure
that
always
our
necks
is
better
than
our
now
and
what
we
do
with
kids
in
water
and
I
think
that
it
also
provides
an
hour
an
ample
opportunity,
especially
as
we
experience
lifeguard
shortages.
So
does
the
wise
sort
of
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
B
K
Umass
Boston
is
looking
to
get
rid
of
their
pool
and
there's
some
some
programming
that
happens
there,
that
some
of
our
other
community
pools
could
take
advantage
of
I
also
think
in
partnership
with
the
Boston
Public
Schools
my
desire
to
get
kids
to
swim.
You
our
desire
to
get
more
lifeguards
on
board
I,
think
that
could
really
create
some
job
opportunity
for
our
young
people,
but
then
also
a
greater
awareness
of
water
safety.
But
then
also
we
make
some
money
on
the
other
end
with
it.
K
When
there's
conversations
about
both
bps
and
you,
our
facilities,
I
know
some
schools
where
they're
connected
those
kids
during
the
day
use
your
space
and
I
think
that
that
relationship
shouldn't
end
sort
of
at
the
end
of
the
school
day
or
you
know
whatever
it
is
that
there's
a
longer
relationship
that
could
be
related
to
build
bps.
Are
you
involved
at
all
in
those
conversations
not.
B
Some
I
don't
think
the
leave
so
with
the
with
the
bill.
Bps
kind
of
models,
but
we
are
in
conversations
under
Chief,
is
Martin
chief
Martinez's
leadership
about
looking
at
the
spaces
that
we
do
share
with
schools
right
and
what
can
we
do
hopefully
complement
what
the
school
curriculum
has
to
offer
and
I?
Think
that
it?
Wouldn't
we
look
at
it.
You
know
Safety's,
always
gonna,
be
a
big
issue,
regardless
of
whatever
form
it
is,
if
it's
in
the
form
of
providing
you
know,
early
drug
prevention,
education
and
violence,
prevention,
etc.
B
The
fact
that
when
we
look
at
kids
and
how
they're
attracted
to
water
me
being
a
father
of
five,
they
take
off
on
me
wherever
I'm
out
a
pool
or
in
a
beach
I
think
could
be
another
way
that
we
can
kind
of
look
at
being
a
little
bit
more
creative
and
thinking
outside
the
box
and
creating
those
opportunities
to
work
with
bps
you're,
already
utilizing.
What's
what's
in
the
schools
that
we're
tied
with
in
the
tadpoles,
oh
great.
B
L
You,
mr.
chairman
and
good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
your
partnership
in
this
work,
critical
to
the
development
of
our
young
people
and
just
the
role
you
play
in
community
all
around
so
I
wanted
to
thank
you
for
reopening
the
Marshall
Community
Center
in
Dorchester
and
for
the
expanded
hours
in
the
condon
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
I
missed
it.
While
I
was
in
the
midst
of
my
copious
note
taking
on
something
else,
but
are
there
plans
to
expand
ours
than
any
other
bcy
up,
location,
I?
Think.
L
B
It's
really
good,
where
we
are
as
far
as
the
threshold
in
regards
to
they're
expanding
the
condom
was
really
kind
of
a
no-brainer
to
a
community
that
access
to
a
indoor,
basketball
court
and
now
having
access
to
the
pool
on
Saturdays
might
even
help
with
the
increasing
the
swim
lessons
as
well
for
that
community
and
so
I
think
you
know
where
we
are
where
we
want
to
be
in
regards
to
the
hours
of
operation.
I.
L
So
how
do
you
track
that
foot
traffic?
In
order
to
better
understand
you
know?
What
are
the
correlations?
So
I
know
you
all
have
done
door
knocking
and
canvassing
before
I
know
we
have.
You
know
aggressive
sort
of
multimedia
campaigns,
and
this
is
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
for
us
in
government.
Is
that
we
can
do
all
of
that,
and
you
know
say:
if
you
build
it,
they
will
come,
but
that's
only.
They
know
about.
L
B
Mean
we
have
a
data
system
now
that
I
mean
it's
one,
that
when
I
got
here
was
needed,
a
revamp
it
needed
a
rework.
I
know
that
in
the
last
couple
years,
under
the
leadership
of
Chris
binder
when
he
was
the
interim,
it
was
something
in
every
of
focus
and
twelve
I
mean
we
have
a
system
called
boss
tracks
known
it's
familiar,
it's
similar
to
the
one
that
the
boys
and
girls
called
have
calls
kid
tracks.
I
mean
they
tends
to
track
our
members.
But
what
happens?
E
L
B
B
There
is
a
change
that,
and
so
what's
happened
recently-
is
that
we've
gotten
through
the
capital
process
through
the
to
it's
part
of
technology
investment,
we've
gotten
a
to
actually
revamp
our
system
and
to
look
at
what
a
brand
new
system
can
be
introduced
into
our
system.
So
we're
currently
right
now
in
the
preliminary
talks
to
explore
what
would
that
mean,
bringing
in
a
project
manager
and
to
look
at
working
with
our
teams
who
are
in
our
buildings
to
kind
of
share
their
thoughts
around
the
process
so
that
we
hopefully
will
have
that?
B
But
in
regards
to
outreach
and
the
communication,
I
mean
one
of
the
great
things
about
having
site
councils.
Is
that
they're
rooted
in
the
community?
They
not
only
attend
the
meetings
that
happen
at
BC
YF,
but
they
attend
the
meetings
that
happen
in
the
community
and
so
they're
great
ambassadors
about
getting
the
word
out
about
what
services
we're
offering
our
community.
Another
great
resource
to
us
is
the
is
the
street
program
to
me.
I
always
say
to
vision.
I
say
about
them
is
that
there
are
centers
without
walls,
because
they're
really
in
every
back
alley.
B
I
L
Thinking
about
community-based
organizations
and
trying
to
sync
up
outreach
effort,
I'm
just
trying
to
gauge
if
the
kids
that
are
the
most
vulnerable
and
have
the
greatest
need
or
the
seniors
that
feel
the
most
marginalized
or
whatever
again
getting
back
to
the
equity
point.
How
do
we
gauge
that?
If
we
don't
have
the
data,
so
do
you
have
a
sense,
even
anecdotally,
as
to
which
centers
have
the
highest
foot
traffic
and.
C
D
We
yeah
so
we
we
know
I
mean
overall
visits
counselor,
so
the
Curley
community
center
is
the
most
trafficked
center
in
South
Boston,
followed
by
Curtis.
Hall
looks
like
to
our
calculation.
So
we
can,
we
can
the
the
system.
Does
it
counts,
people
really
the
system
does
so.
We
can
absolutely
tell
you
the
highest
foot
traffic
to
the
lowest
attendance
I
mean
in
some
of
our
decisions.
Obviously,
with
regards
to
centers
have
been
based
on
that
data.
So.
D
L
All
right
so
stay
tuned
on
that
I'm.
In
that
vein,
could
you
talk
to
me
about
any
evening
youth
programming
in
the
growth
Hall
area?
Specifically,
we
are
a
lot
of
feedback
from
youth
and
community-based
organizations
that
you
know
there's
nothing
that
specifically
targeted
will
be
too
aggressive
a
word
but
accessible
for
them.
So
could
you
speak
to
that
in
terms
of
evening
programming
for
youth
in
the
grow
call
area,
yeah.
C
So
on,
as
we
the
Commissioner
mentioned
earlier,
we
don't
have
a
dedicated
youth
program
at
the
Grove
all
community
center.
However,
we've
tried
to
partner
with
some
external
folks
project
right
and
others
to
provide
some
programming
on.
We
have
a
a
senior
center,
that's
at
the
Grove
Hawk
accumulation
of
currently.
However,
you
know
we
do
have
some
staff
who
work
in
and
around
that
community
I'm
Street
workers,
staff
and
they're
supporting
some
of
the
efforts
that
take
place
with
my
Canales
basketball
league
and
other
opportunities
that
project
right
provides.
L
L
Leadership
core
and
you
know
all
the
girls
programming,
but
the
senior
piece
I
mean
we
hear
from
all
of
our
elders.
I
mean
they
wish.
There
was
a
center
and
we've
had
this
debate
for
a
long
time,
because
what
would
be
a
central
location,
then
we
have
debates
about
which
neighborhood
has
the
highest
concentration
of
seniors
right,
and
so
you
tried
duking
it
out
between
West
Roxbury
Mattapan.
You
don't
want
to
be
in
that
room,
so
so
I'm
glad
to
see
that
there's
a
commitment
to
expand
and
to
have
accessible
programming
in
these
centers
sense.
L
You
know
it
will
allow
us
to
have
a
broader
reach.
I
do
still
think
at
some
point.
We'll
have
to
revisit
an
actual
dedicated,
Senior
Center.
You
know
one
or
two
but
appreciate
that
commitment
just
giving
around
just
given
the
extended
hours.
I
was
just
curious.
Do
we
currently
provide
any
ESOL
programming
within
our
be
CYO
centers?
Anything?
Ok,
and
could
you
speak
to
that?
What
is
the
capacity
of
that
program?
Do
we
know
what
its
what
it
reaches?
How
many?
Who
is
our
community
partner?
That
kind
of
thing
yes,.
C
So
on
we
have
a
ESL
ESOL
program
over
at
the
Cleveland
Community
Center,
which
will
be
transitioning
to
the
Marshall
and
it's
actually
a
well-attended
ESL
ESOL
program.
But
we
also
have
I
believe
six
partnerships,
six
council
partnerships,
Michael
I,
believe
is
six
council
partnerships,
so
they're
not
actually
be
cyf
run,
but
they
council
run
ESL
ESOL
programs.
L
D
D
L
J
C
B
M
B
B
L
K
M
E
D
M
M
D
M
M
D
M
E
D
Contracted
services
is
a
bunch
of
different
things.
There's
some
external
grants
that
go
into
that
there's
repairs
as
maintenance,
there's
any
really
pretty
much
any
contract
or
service
that
we
have
within
our
department
to
service
the
community.
Centers
falls
into
that
item
line
item
as
well
as,
like
I,
said:
there's
several
grants
also
that
we
give
out
that's
part
of
that.
Okay.
M
D
M
Yeah
I
just
want
to
know
where
that
mm-hmm,
where
that
hit,
so
that
would
be
an
execution
of
court.
So
arguably
that
would
be
under
legal
liabilities,
but
your
budget
says
forty
six
hundred
bucks
to
legal
liability,
so
okay
and
you're
shifting
over
to
capital-
if
you
can
just
run
me
through
that
this,
you
have
status.
So
you
have
in
construction,
which
I
think
is
pretty
self-explanatory
and
to
be
scheduled,
not
sure
what
that
means.
New
project
study
underway,
not
sure
what
study
underway
in
implementation
under
way.
M
M
D
So,
like
you
said,
like
you
said,
constant
in
construction,
obviously
it's
currently
being
renovated.
It's
you
know.
Shovels
in
the
ground
works
being
done
to
be
scheduled,
means
that
the
money's
been
allocated.
It's
with
public
facilities,
public
facilities
assigns
a
project
manager.
Public
facilities
will
then
work
with
us
to
do
design
selection
so
to
be
scheduled.
It
means
exactly
that
waiting
just
from
public
facilities
to
schedule
the
designer
selection
meetings
and
things
to
that's.
D
Usually,
the
first
step
is
designer
selection,
so
they
assign
a
project
manager,
that's
kind
of
what
it
means
to
say
to
be
scheduled.
New
project
means
it
was
just
added
to
the
budget
as
a
new
addition.
So
it's
it's
new
to
the
capital
budget
for
us
study
underway
the
north
end.
There
was
a
study
to
programming
study
that
was
done.
It's
underway
were
at
the
final
kind
of
stages
of
that
identifying
different
locations
of
where
possible
new
community
center.
D
The
north
end
could
sit
but
again,
I,
think
and
then,
like
you,
said,
implementation
underway,
youth
budget
means
projects.
You
have
voted
on
money's
there,
they're
just
waiting
for
departments
or
departments
to
spend
the
actual
money
on
the
project
that
were
voted
on
by
the
youth
and
think
and
then
in
design.
Obviously,
is
we've
already
done
designer
selection,
we
have
a
designer
and
they're
working
to
the
design
process.
Yeah.
M
So
if
you
go
to
the
clarity
pool
so
that's
to
be
scheduled,
but
no
authorization
and
no
expenditure.
So
if
your
trial
goes
to
the
clarity
pool,
what,
if
any
expectation
do
you
have
that
that
pool
is
going
to
be
in
good
working
order
or
a
functioning
indoor
win,
so
it
says
to
be
scheduled,
but
there's
no
there's
no
authorization
or
expenditure.
So
if
I'm
reading
that
I'm,
like
clarity,
pools,
that's
just
enough,
that
might
be
three
four
or
five
years
down
the
road.
There's
nothing,
there's
nothing
back
in
what
I
mean
yeah.
D
Yeah
in
and
again
this
is
just
so
this
these
expenditures
for
just
FY
nineteen.
There
are
spending
amounts
further
out
in
the
five-year
plan,
but
clarity
pool
more
specifically
we're
doing
some
temporary
repairs
there
prior
to
this
summer,
to
get
us
through
one
more
summer
at
clarity,
pool
and
then
ultimately
having
a
conversation
with
the
budget
office
and
public
facilities
on
getting
that
facility
addressed
with
regards
to
a
capital
project
following
this
summer.
So.
M
M
And
then,
with
respect
to
all
this
city,
wise
there's
just
no,
it's
not
there's
no
specific
neighborhood,
there's
no
specific
program,
there's
no
specific
community
center.
It's
just
it's
just
kind
of
broad-based,
citywide,
BC
YF
and
it's
to
the
tune
of
2.6
million.
My
perspective
I
can't
that's
too
loose
for
me.
I
need
we
need
is
we
need
a
dial
in
on
that
thing?
Okay,
yeah.
D
M
Yeah
I'd
like
to
get
that
has
to
be
tighter
for
me
just
to
point
this
one
and
then
Street
worker
program.
Just
to
take
this
opportunity
renew
my
call
for
one
male
one:
female
street
worker
program
in
our
schools
grade
7
through
12,
first
line
of
defense.
Kids.
When
there's
an
issue
going
on
of
this
something
percolating
they're
less
inclined
to
tell
the
teacher
they're
less
some
time
to
tell
the
principal
they're
less
inclined
to
go
to
a
Boston
police
officer.
M
However,
in
Chris,
you
can
speak
to
this
because
you
had
a
front
row
seat
as
one
of
our
very
first
street
worker
program
leaders
was
that
they'll
go
to
a
street
worker
oftentimes
they're
able
to
stave
off
that
violence
at
the
school
site
before
it
trickles
out
to
the
train
station
or
to
the
school
yard.
So
I
think
it's
there
there.
M
Also
we,
as
council
McCarthy,
have
mentioned
we
sort
of
this
partnership
where
our
community
centers
were
allowed
to
if
we
rent
them
out.
If
you
will
so
in
a
couple
years
ago,
we
had
an
issue
where
some
of
our
BCA
of
participants
weren't
able
to
use
the
facilities
because
they
were
being
rented
out.
So
what's
the
status
of
the
sort
of
those
public
private
partnerships
and
have
they
expanded
into
our
of
we
kind
of
carved
out
so
that
folks
are
using
the
facilities,
get
chance
to
use
them
during
those
optimum
hours?
C
Councillor,
thank
you
and
just
to
your
point
a
second
ago,
I'm,
not
certainly
something
that
we'll
keep
into
consideration.
As
we
think
about
you
know,
moving
forward
with
the
street
worker
program,
you
know,
as
we
you
know,
think
about
the
partnerships.
You
know
we
have
a
partnership
agreement
that
exists
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
will
happen
as
we
dot
I's
and
cross.
C
Our
T's
on
the
the
MoU
with
our
site
councils
is
that'll,
be
clearly
clearly
defined
as
well,
because
I'm,
one
of
the
things
that
we
we
believe
in
as
you
do,
is
that
offering
should
be
available
for
program.
Participants
and
rental
should
not
impact
those
their
ability
to
get
inside
our
community,
centers
and,
and
so
we've
been
really
working
on
on
that
around
accountability
and
making
sure
that
I
cite
councils
and
and
and
administrative
coordinators
are
adhering
to
the
rules
and
regulations.
As
far
as
the
partnership
agreement
is
concerned,
okay.
M
And
then,
as
far
as
employees,
which
what
percentage
of
employees
in
terms
of
the
unionized
so
that
there's
when
there's
openings,
they
kind
of
gravitate
into
a
listing
versus
the
director
of
the
community
center
or
the
leader,
gets
to
select
someone
that's
critical
for
for
that
community.
The
issue
I
have
is
that
community
centers
are
community
based
and
you
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
employees
that
actually
know
the
kids
know.
M
D
Obviously,
you
know
the
site
coordinator.
The
minister
recordings
is
an
integral
part,
an
important
piece
of
making
those
decisions,
but
not
the
only
deciding
factor.
There's
human
resources,
folks
involved,
there's
central
offices
folks
involved
to
help
kind
of
always
see
that
process
of
it.
Not
only
is
the
site
hiring
people
they
need,
but
also
citywide
lenses.
Put
onto
that
with
regards
to
hiring
we
don't
want.
You
know,
sites,
there's
different,
different
factors
that
may
come
into
play,
and
things
like
that,
so
we
don't
want.
D
You
know
the
decision
to
be
solely
made
by
by
one
person
it's
more
of
a
team
approach
with
regards
to
hiring
folks.
Obviously,
yes,
a
large
majority
of
the
positions
are
our
union
and
when
it
comes
to
you
know,
transfers
and
things
like
that-
it's
pretty
spelled
out
in
black
and
white,
but
when
it
comes
to
hiring
new
employees,
obviously
the
department
has
has
the
option
of
hiring
who
it
is.
They
feel
as
most
most
fit
for
that
position
and
not
necessarily
just
it.
D
M
And
then
just
lastly,
a
lot
of
our
sites
have
site
councils.
I
think
there's
been
some
changes
recently.
So
so,
if
you
and
I
served
it
years
ago
on
the
Tainan,
Community
Council,
so
I
guess
what
is
the
role
of
site
councils?
What,
if
any
input
do
they
have
with
respect
to
the
actual
facility,
the
running
of
the
facility,
the
maintenance
of
the
facility
fundraising
around
the
facility
into
a
programming
around
the
facility
moving
forward?
So
if
you're
a
member
of
a
site
council?
M
B
B
We
can
have
shared
outcomes
and
metrics
that
put
in
place
that
really
hopefully
measure
each
other's
performance
and
making
sure
that
we
can
do
the
best
that
we
can
for
the
constituents
that
come
through
those
doors
and
so
I
think
that
that's
gonna
continue
to
to
to
to
happen.
We're
hoping
that
it's
with
the
MOU.
B
It
also
deepen
our
relationships
with
the
council
in
a
way
that
haven't
been
a
haven't,
been
existing
in
years
past
and
so
I
don't
see
too
much
of
too
many
things
changing
along
is
we're
all
working
towards
the
same
mutual
goals
that
we
would
discuss
beforehand
and
allow
us
to
continue
to
make
sure
that
the
center's
continue
to
flourish
and
be
a
beacon
of
hope
for
the
commute
for
the
constituents
that
come
through
it.
So,
like.
M
Everything
else
I
think
the
newness
around
that
creates
some
anxiety,
whether
it's
the
communication
on
the
delivery
of
that
so
there's
obviously
an
expectation
that
people
want
to
be
involved.
They
want
partner,
they're,
doing
some
great
things.
They
realize
and
recognize
the
value
our
community
centers.
You
know
from
any
right,
neighborhoods
very
much
like
a
community
health
centers
and
our
schools
they're
the
lifeline
of
families
and
engagement.
M
So
from
that
perspective,
whenever
there's
any
type
of
change,
oftentimes
its
how
its
rolled
out
endure
just
need
to
include
folks
in
the
process,
so
I
know
there's
some
concerns,
particularly
on
sites
that
have
had
success,
raising
significant
funds
that
they
hope
would
go
right
back
to
that
particular
center
as
opposed
to
having
to
go
into
this
sort
of
a
central
pot.
If
you
will
all
that
will
do,
that
will
just
dissuade
involvement
and
just
wait.
N
N
In
addition,
there
was
there
was
another
sort
of
information
request:
Oh
counselor
Flaherty's
point
just
on
the
capital
projects.
It
is
a
little
confusing.
I
was
looking
at
that
too,
so
you
don't
necessarily
know
when
something
might
happen.
So
if
there
can
be
some
sort
of
timeline
attached
to
this,
even
if
it's
going
into
the
next
fiscal
year
would
be
really
helpful.
Because
people
see
this,
they
ask
us
questions
and
we
often
don't
know
so.
N
I,
don't
know
if
it's
going
through
and
redoing
this
chart
and
adding
that
what
it
means
or
a
timeline
around
what
this
means
in
terms
of
when
it
will
happen,
would
be
very
helpful
as
well
in
terms
of
the
public-private
partnerships,
the
council's
the
mo
use.
It
was
my
understanding
that
there
are
going
to
be
some
shifts
in
looking
at
those
mo
use,
doing
something
different
with
those
mo
use.
Can
you
talk
through
what
that
might
mean?
I
thought
it
would
be
more
substantive
than
previously
just
discussed
with
councilor
Flaherty
yeah.
B
Majority
of
the
MOU
is
really
speak
to
a
lot
of
legalities
and
understanding
of
liabilities
that
are
connected
to
it,
one
that
speaks
to
one
to
insurance.
This
right,
cuz,
those
who
have
sat
on
boards
know
that
some
independent
501
C
3
carry
their
own
insurances,
just
to
protect
them
and
protect
their
members
of
the
council,
so
you'll
have
director
insurance
they'll,
be
a
part
of
it
and
then
probably
some
general
liability
just
so
the
fact
that
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
they
insure
when
they
use
our
space.
B
B
It's
this
process,
this
thing
about
fees
related
to
our
buildings,
the
rental
fees
and
the
membership
fees-
and
you
know,
we've
had
discussions
with
those.
But
these
are
fees
that
will
be
actually
now
collected
through
the
city
of
Boston
and
then
reinvested
back
into
the
centers
in
import.
A
and
we're
we've
had
some
really
positive
conversations
in
regards
to
it
with
the
with
the
council's
just
meaning.
B
You
know
it's
really
sort
of
a
way
to
have
really
clarity
about
how
things
are
gonna
continue
to
operate,
but
just
the
expectations
just
to
make
sure
that
they're
doing
everything
to
protect
themselves.
They're
doing
everything
to
hopefully
protect
us
we're
doing
everything
to
protect
them,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
is
to
make
sure
that
we're
protecting
the
families
who
are
coming
into
our
buildings
together
and
doing
the
programming
mutually
beneficial.
N
How
do
you
strike
a
balance
with
those
councils
that
have
more
active
participation?
Maybe
even
training
around
fundraising
can
go
out
and
get
the
resources
leverage
their
relationships
to
bring
in
more
resources
to
a
center
versus
another
center.
That
does
not
have
that
network
that
social
connectivity,
those
relationships
in
the
discussions
with
mo
use
and
other
things
is
it
going
to
also
address
some
of
that.
B
The
work
together
so
hopefully
it
would
be
more
of
a
question
that
I
think
that
when
we
see
what
we
got,
we
can
see
where,
where
we
can
do
the
most
work,
because
we're
really
looking
to
make
sure
that
equity
is
really
across
all
our
centers
and
that's
gonna,
be
the
big.
The
big
part
in
the
and
the
MOU
gives
us
that
big
first
step
and
seeing
that
that
clearly
much
much
clearer
and.
B
Until
currently,
with
what
we've
done
in
the
last
couple
weeks,
both
chief
Martinez
and
I-
we've
actually
done
a
lot
of
round-robin
sat
down
with
a
lot
of
the
council
chairs
or
full
Council
boards
to
discuss
a
little
bit
about
the
mou
they've
provided
us
some
feedback
about
some
of
the
language
and
where
we
can
make
some
some
modest
changes,
but
nothing
something
to
fist
change
too
much
about
it.
I
think
they've
welcomed
it
a
lot.
B
We
still
have
a
few
more
that
we
have
to
follow
up,
and
then
we
have
a
follow-up
meeting
this
week
with
the
mayor
to
kind
of
discuss
it
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
more.
But
our
hopes
is
to
hopefully
have
the
MOU
sort
of
sign
and
in
place,
hopefully
by
this
summer
early
summer,
hopefully
prevent
preferably-
and
then
you
know
and
then
and
and
hopefully
begin
to
hopefully
then
roll
out
the
other
processes
that
we
need
to
roll
out
to
bring
it
to
its
full
tuition
by,
hopefully
the
fall
so.
N
N
C
N
N
N
N
C
N
Thank
you
for
that.
Also,
thank
you
for
the
work
around
the
gala
van
and
the
marshal
and
some
of
the
feedback
on
the
extended
hours
last
night.
I
know
this
has
been
asked.
I
know,
Mike
is
here
and
I
would
think.
He'll
probably
speak
at
some
point.
Just
related
to
the
Grove
hall.
I
mean
we
obviously
interact
with
many
folks
in
that
community.
I
do
know.
Seniors
are
very
happy.
C
N
C
C
Currently
you
know,
as
I
said
you
know,
we
have
to
work
around
BPS
because
we
as
I'd
like
to
say
you
know
we're
guests
in
their
space
right
now,
and
you
know,
as
we
looked
at
the
usage
of
that
building
oftentimes,
it
was
just
even
for
us
very
difficult
to
get
in
there
because
they
were
throwing
clastic
programs
and
and
and
and
and
activities.
You
know
and
that's
understandable,
and
so
you
know
we
just
have
to
be
a
little
bit
creative
around.
C
O
B
D
Yes,
so
councillor
we're.
Currently
we
just
had
a
meeting.
Obviously
the
15
million
dollars
has
been
put
into
the
five-year
capital
plan.
The
mayor,
obviously
fast-tracked
it
I
mean
you
go
back
to
years
ago.
It
wasn't
even
in
the
capital
project.
So
the
fact
that
it's
in
and
also
got
priority
to
get
placed
in
so
the
front
end
of
the
five-year
plan
and
also
we
did
have
public
facilities
runs
and
helps
us
operate
all
of
our
capital
projects.
Cuz.
We
don't
have
the
means
to
do
so.
D
So
we
did
have
a
couple
I
think
it
was
probably
two
or
three
months
ago
we
had
what
was
called
the
design
of
selection
review.
So
all
the
bids
have
been
received
for
designers
and
architects
of
wanted
to
do
the
project.
We
did
select
a
designer
and
they
are
in
negotiations,
public
facilities
and
the
designer
who
was
selected
to
negotiate
the
contract.
So
we're
not
we're
not
in
design
quite
yet,
but
once
the
contract
is
finalized,
what
the
designer
will
go
right
into
design,
so
I'm
hoping
we'll
be
in
design
within
the
next.
D
D
Absolutely
you
welcome
anytime.
We
can
definitely
arrange
for
you
to
get
a
walkthrough
I
think
you
know
some
basic
scope
of
work
has
been
identified,
but
as
the
designer
gets
underway,
I'm
sure
a
lot
more
specifics
will
be
spelled
out.
With
regards
to
the
exact
work,
that's
going
to
be
done,
but
we
can
absolutely
do
a
tour
with
you
anytime
and
go
over
some
of
the
things
that
the
larger
items
that
we
see
is
improvements
in.
C
C
O
Thank
you.
The
opportunity
to
visit
on
Saturday
the
Tobin
community
center
and
I
saw
a
bee
cyf
hosting
with
the
mayor's
office,
a
basketball
game
with
the
Boston
Police.
It
went
over
very
well.
It's
great
that
you
guys
are
doing
programs
like
that.
Bringing
young
people
together
with
the
police,
so
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
as
well.
C
No,
no
there's
there's
no
cuts
there.
You
know
they've
been
down
a
youth
worker
recently,
I
think
we're
in
the
process
of
that
hiring
process
for
the
youth
worker.
But
you
know
the
Josiah.
Quincy
is
a
well-run,
Community.
Center
Helen
long
does
a
really
good
job
down
there
and
you
know
we
think
that
it's
one
of
them,
you
know
a
non-network
is
one
of
our
stronger
programmatically
run
spaces.
C
O
I'm
down
that
facility
at
least
once
a
week-
and
they
are,
they-
are
doing
a
good
job.
I
just
want
to
highlight
a
couple
things:
the
the
number
of
personnel
you
have
BC
yfm
I'm,
looking
at
the
numbers,
Asian
2%
of
personalization
is
that
is
that
accurate
is
that
is
that,
where
you
want
to
be,
how
could
we?
How
could
we
improve
that
number?
Well,.
C
I
think
one
of
the
things
you
know,
as
we
think
about
you,
know
the
city
generally
speaking,
I
think
you
know
we
certainly
I'm
striving
to
be
as
diverse
as
a
city.
Is
it
we're
not
there
yet,
but
we
certainly
want
to
get
there
and
we'll
continue
to.
You
know,
engage
external
partners
to
help
us
with
that.
Certainly,
you
know
your
populations
growing,
you
know,
Boston
is
is
increasingly
more
diverse
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
our
department
reflects
that.
So
we
certainly
know
that,
and
we
can't
do
that
alone.
C
We
have
to
partner
with
a
lot
of
the
external
agencies,
the
the
stakeholders
in
the
neighborhoods
who
know
the
people
and
I
think
it
also
speaks
to
I.
Think
what
the
councilor
on
council
fairly
raised
earlier,
which
is
how
do
we
work
with
the
local
for
the
folks
on
the
local
level
to
ensure
that
they're
helping
us
identify
folks
from
those
respective
communities
that
can
help
provide
the
quality
outcome
driven
services
that
we
look
for
and.
O
I
can
certainly
help
in
that
regard,
as
well
I'm
in
Chinatown
every
every
day,
but
I
would
like
to
see
that
number
increased
2%
does
seem
low.
Also
we
have
a
growing
Vietnamese
community,
especially
and
especially
in
Dorchester.
It's
not
my
district,
but
I
think
we
need
more
Vietnamese
speaking
personnel
there
as
well.
Your
points
well-taken
and
not
not
to
continue
on
that
subject,
but
I'll
just
add
one
more
thing
about
it:
the
top
salaries
of
BC
YF.
O
There
should
be.
You
know
this
is
28
28
top
manages
it
seems
at
least
one
of
them
should
be
Asian
in
my
opinion.
So
maybe
we
can
look
at
that
again
and
over
the
next
six
months
you
know:
do
some
more
recruiting
bring
some
people
on
board,
but
I
think
I
think
we
need
some
senior
leaders
from
the
Asian
community
that
BC
YF
as
well.
C
O
And
can
you
give
me
an
idea
of
what's
taking
place
at
the
Blackstone
I
know
it's
open
on
Saturdays,
also
from
9:00
to
5:00.
I.
Think
that's
a
great
great
addition.
This
pool
and
the
gym.
What
are
the
type
of
outreach?
Are
we
doing
in
Blackstone,
considering
that
it's
kind
of
in
the
middle
middle
of
villa
victoria
and
the
cathedral,
and
we
doing
enough
for
people
and
BHA?
As
you
know,
yeah.
C
We've
got
you
know:
we've
got
some
some
pretty
good
stuff
on
the
ground
that
had
done
some
real
intention
of
outreach,
and
you
know
Cathedral
and
Heber
and
Linux.
You
know
we,
we,
you
know,
provide
access
to
the
space,
whether
we're
going
out
to
walk
them
over
or
bring
the
van
over,
but
we
also
have
you
know.
As
you
know,
the
south
end
is
very
diverse
community
and
you
know
it's
it's
it's
great
when
you
walk
into
the
Blackstone
community
center,
because
you
see
that
diversity
play
out,
there's
no.
C
We've
got
some
youth
workers
over
there
to
really
good
on
youth
workers.
We'll
do
some
some
some
real
creative
work
and
you
know
they've
got
a
great
youth
Finch
his
team
over
there
that
had
done
some,
some
really
cool
stuff,
I.
Think
one
of
the
things
that
don't
is
one
of
the
teams
are
doing
a
cell
phone
repair
program,
which
is
pretty
pretty
awesome,
and
you
know
I
just
think
that
it's
an
opportunity
for
us
without,
as
we
you
know,
have
our
family
gym
over
there.
C
You
know:
we've
got
some
families
who
will
probably
would
not
come
into
BC
YF
space
any
other
time
and
they're
over
there
on
a
daily
on
Saturday.
As
you
go
over
there,
that
gym
is
packed
with
with
those
families.
You
know,
we've
got
a
fitness
center
in
partnership
with
bu
at
the
Blackstone
that
that's
quite
busy
is
actually
a
very
nice
fitness
center.
C
O
O
D
B
But
you
know
at
the
same
time,
when
you're
talking
about
the
veterans,
when
you
think
of
the
thanked
the
vet
initiative
that
Commissioner
sterling
kind
of
improvised
a
lot
of
them
kickoff
at
RBC,
y.f
centers
I
mean
that's
where
they
gather
that's
where
they
do
a
lot
of
the
work.
The
fact
that
we're
on
the
same
cabinet
doesn't
mean
that
we
haven't
have
been
exploring
opportunities
that
we
can
kind
of
work
together.
You
know
just
Elle
has
some
great
ideas.
I
have
some
great
ideas
about
during
the
times
that
some
of
our
sites
are
underutilized.
B
How
do
we
create
sort
of
the
the
Bugle
League,
meaning
that
there
be
an
opportunity
for
service
men
and
women
to
have
basketball
leagues
or
have
indoor
soccer
leagues
or
whatever
it
may
be,
that
they
may
want
to
do?
At
the
same
time,
she's
been
a
very
visible
partner
at
a
lot
of
our
block
parties
and
a
lot
of
our
community
events,
a
putting
a
table
out
informing
them
about
the
opportunities,
but
at
the
same
time
promoting
our
own
BC
YF
facilities
as
opportunities
for
them
to
get
there.
B
L,
recreation
and
childcare
needs
to
as
well
so
I
think
that,
under
the
leadership
of
chief
Martinez,
one
of
the
things
that
I
know
he
wants
to
do
is
to
better
coordinate
his
own
cabinet
to
look
at.
How
do
we
make
each
other
spaces
and
each
other's
programs
part
of
our
a
part
of
our
thread
of
offerings
together,
yeah.
O
The
opportunity
to
attend
many
of
the
thanked
of
veterans
events
and
they
went
over
very
well
very
helpful
to
our
returning
veterans
and
I-
will
hold
the
veterans
as
well
military
family.
So
you
know
thank
you
to
the
mayor
for
always
being
there
for
all
military
families.
I.
Think
that
says
I
think
that's
a
great
accomplishment.
This
administration
has
made
that's
all
the
questions.
I.
G
Thank
you
again
and
just
to
kind
of
echo
the
importance
of
diversity.
I'm
had
an
earlier
question.
I
really
appreciate.
Councilors
Flynn's
questions
certainly
agree
that
the
staff
in
terms
of
city
employees,
should
reflect
the
diversity
of
our
city
as
well
as
private,
would
love
to
see
more
diversity
in
our
centers
I'm.
It's
great
to
see
you
guys
here,
as
as
commissioner
as
Deputy
Commissioner,
and
certainly
our
chief
in
the
audience
along
those
lines.
Earlier
there
was
a
question
regarding
the
immigration
information.
G
B
You
know
I
can't
come
off.
The
top
of
my
head,
I
mean
Spanish
will
be
obvious
knees
and
so
forth.
Normally
a
lot
of
that
information,
not
something
that
we
selected
it's
something
that
we
worked
with
the
mayor's
office
of
immigration
advancement.
Who
actually
makes
that
selection.
We
can
get
back
to
you
about
from
them.
How?
What
are
the
languages
that
are
there
and
get
it
back
to
you
so
that
you
can
have
it
and.
G
G
That's
certainly
what
I
would
like
to
see
is
making
sure
that
there's
an
RFP
with
language
and
it
that
talks
about
community
use
but
I'm,
hoping
that
you
can
talk
just
more
broadly
about
community
engagement
in
making
sure
so.
We've
talked
about
growth
Hall
as
another
example
certainly
want
to
see
youth
programming
in
the
grove
hall
area,
I
think
all
over
our
city,
but
that
shouldn't
come
at
the
expense
of
singer
programming.
It's
not
an
either/or.
G
G
B
B
I
could
tell
you
that
my
own
personal
commitment
has
been
that
I've
worked
remotely
from
sites
and
I'll
cover
a
front
desk
and
I
will
push
a
broom
and
I
will
move
a
chair,
because
no
that
brings
me
closer
to
getting
into
into
the
right
space
with
somebody
who
can
offer
me
a
little
bit
more
about
what
our
spaces
could
be
doing.
And
so
that's
a
constant,
ongoing
piece
and
I
know
that
my
Deputy
Commissioners
and
my
team-
that's
up
in
the
gallery.
B
B
If
they're,
only
looking
at
what's
happening
within
our
four
walls,
they're
not
looking
outside
of
them,
then
we
don't
change
with
them.
And
then
what
happens
is
that
we
don't
go
strong.
We
don't
be.
We
don't
become
stronger
by
not
taking
that
time
to
kind
of
listen
and
be
a
part
of
it
and
until
you
know
that's
my
personal
commitment
that
you
will
continue
to
have
and
it's
the
same
commitment
that
I
ask
my
two
deputy
commissioners
on
the
side
to
do.
G
Really
appreciate
that
as
an
organizer
making
sure
that
we're
capturing
community
voice,
I
can
speak
personally,
I
see
Chris
out
all
the
time,
just
getting
to
know
you,
but
hopefully
we'll
see
you
as
well.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
that.
Everybody
do
appreciate
that
and
it
was
great
just
to
follow
up.
You
know
with
the
chief
around
this
particular
issue
and
to
see
that
the
concern
was
built
in
and
that
the
engagement
piece
will
be
in
this
RFP.
I
really
do
appreciate
that.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
B
K
I
just
shifting
gears
here
just
to
get
back
to
some
of
what
we
talked
about
with
the
Boston
Public
Schools
in
your
relationship
with
them.
I
know
during
the
proposed
bail
time
in
December
the
bail
time
conversation.
There
was
a
lot
of
attempted
networking
to
resolve
some
of
the
after
school
and
possibly
before
school
work.
K
D
So
I
I,
don't
think
I
mean
council.
We
didn't
have
much.
You
know
much
changing
in
the
way
our
after-school
programs
operated
this
year.
Obviously
you
know
we
kind
of
programs
and
a
lot
of
them
are
offered
by
the
site.
Councils
kind
of
worked
in
hand
with
with
the
school
I
was
that
they
operate
within.
D
So
if
they,
you
know
some
of
them
start
as
early
as
you
know,
two
o'clock
and
they
all
pretty
much
pretty
regularly
go
until
six
o'clock,
but
we
did
work
through
a
couple
of
little
things
with
with
Boston
Public
Schools
around
some
concerns
that
that
students
and
families
had
and
other
than
that
we've
really
operated
our
after-school
programs
in
a
similar
fashion.
We
have,
in
the
past,
I
mean
being
from
2:00
to
6:00.
Usually
pretty
much
covers
us,
regardless
of
what
BPS
is
looking
to
do.
D
I
know
there's
some
conversation
around
and
then
we
do
have
some
before
school
programs,
because
that
was
something
we
don't
do
as
much
of,
but
could
have
been
a
need
that
could
have
been
developed
through.
You
know
some
schools
that
would
go
to
a
later
time
that
now
parents
would
need
an
option
for
school,
but
we've
been
in
very
close
conversations
with
the
extended
learning
time
team
over
bps
and
they've
much
made
as
part
of
that
conversation,
so
we
can
kind
of
work
together.
D
C
So
we've
we've
got
a
strong
relationship
with
the
Health
Commission
and
I've
certainly
supported
their
efforts
around
homelessness,
and
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
that
you
know.
Last
year
we
had
a
number
of
staff
who
were
dedicated
to
supporting
the
efforts
around
homelessness,
especially
in
and
around
downtown
Boston
the
Commons.
So
we
worked
closely
with
them:
the
Health
Commission.
We
worked
closely
with
them
bridge
over
troubled
waters,
as
well
as
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development,
and
you
know
we've.
C
We
certainly
will
continue
to
work
closely
with
the
Health
Commission
around
this
issue
and
we
know
how
important
it
is
to
the
administration
and
also
making
sure
that
our
spaces
are
available
for
families.
You
know
when
they
walk
through
our
doors.
They
don't
come
through
our
doors
and
say
they're
homeless.
K
Then
I'm
happy
to
work
to
connect
you
with
some
of
the
family
shelters
in
the
city,
so
we
have
families
that
have
maybe
been
located
to
a
community
that
they're
not
as
familiar
with
for
them
to
know
that
their
kids
can
access
them.
The
family
as
a
whole
could
access
some
of
the
programming
I'll
make
sure
that
I
get
you
that
list,
especially
some
of
the
scattered
sites.
K
If
you
know
a
family,
maybe
is
moving
from
one
community
to
another
and
just
not
fully
aware
of
what
programs
are
available
and
in
some
of
the
bps
hearings
we
had
a
specific
one
on
school
safety.
I'm
I'm
wondering
about
the
preparedness,
the
BC
YF,
the
youth
centers
are
for
any
sort
of
active,
shooter
event
or
any
sort
of
incident
in
your
centers,
specifically.
B
D
Just
mean
just
that
I
mean
I,
think
that
you
know
we
worked
closely
with
and
we
work
closely
with
emergency
management
a
lot
of
different
things,
but
one
of
them
was
that
we
worked
with
them
and
the
Boston
Police
Department
to
have
all
of
our
staff
trained
in
active
shooter
situations.
So
they
all
attended
those
trainings
BPD
in
the
emergency
management
made
it
so
that
they
would
have
it
offer
several
different
trainings.
So
our
staff
could
all
get
there,
but
also
part
of
the
you
know.
K
You
know
many
of
our
kids
are
facing
a
lot
of
traumatic
and
unsafe
events
or
feelings
from
their
own
communities.
I,
don't
know
if
this
was
covered
earlier
by
an
earlier
question,
but
you
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
training
that
your
team
receives
around
being
trauma-informed
and
maybe
some
of
the
workers
that
aren't
necessarily
street
workers
that
we
know
have
a
lot
of
those
skills,
but
some
of
the
other
staff
yeah.
C
We've
worked
closely
with
the
Health
Commission
so
that
not
only
out
of
street
work
is
charming
forum
trained
around
trauma-informed
care,
also,
some
of
our
staff,
a
site
trained
as
well.
Again,
you
know
when
young
people
come
into
our
spaces,
you
know
they're
gonna
talk
to
people
that
they're
most
comfortable
with
and
sometimes
an
hour,
hasted
and
well-intentioned.
C
You
know
we're
all
well-intentioned
didn't
want
to
be
helpful
and
supportive,
and
sometimes
we
do
harm
unknowingly
and
so
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
staff
have
those
tools
to
be
able
to
engage
young
people
in
a
way
that
supports
them.
You
know
trauma
is
something
that
we
all
experience
in
many
different
ways,
and
we
certainly
know
how
important
it
is
that
as
an
additional
tool
in
their
toolbox
and
our
staff
need
to
be
trauma-informed
train,
so
my
hope
is
to
have
every
one
of
our
staff
trained
around
trauma-informed.
K
Regarding
training
have
have
you
felt
the
need
and
has
there
been
a
need
to
train
any
of
your
employees
and
staff
on
proper
needle
disposal?
We
see
that
as
a
concern,
the
bps,
we
see
the
concern
in
the
Boston,
Public
Library's
and
then
proper
needle
disposal,
if
any
are
found
both
on
in
within
your
physical
buildings,
but
then
also
on
your
grounds.
K
D
So
I
mean
we've.
We
just
recently
sent
out
a
policy
and
a
procedure
around
this
bowls
of
needles,
because,
unfortunately
it
is,
it
does
happen,
like
you
said,
in
schools
and
libraries
any
public
building.
Unfortunately,
sometimes
people
utilize
them
things
they
shouldn't
and
it's
hard
to
decipher
when
someone's
going
to
do
something
like
that.
But
really
our
our
advice
for
our
staff
is
not
to
handle
them,
is
to
call
I
know
the
mayor's
office
has
services
available
where
folks
will
come
and
dispose
of
them.
We
tell
them
to
call
9-1-1.
D
K
It
might
be
good,
especially
with
your
pre-existing
relationship
with
the
Health
Commission
and
just
maybe
have
a
more
direct
pipelines
that
those
needles
have
picked
up
properly
or
work
with
your
staff
and
your
unions
and
your
your
employees
to
maybe
identify
people
on
each
site
that
are
properly
trained.
It
actually
isn't.
If
you
are
properly
trained,
it
doesn't
take
much
to
become
trained
to
handle
needles
properly,
but
we
do
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
kiosks
of
the
the
bins
the
proper
biohazard
bins
in
which
to
store
them.
K
So
that
might
be
worth
a
conversation
now
all
BPL
libraries
have
them
on-site.
You
know
fast.
Food
restaurants
have
them
on-site
and
you
know
both
for
illicit
drug
use,
but
then
also
for
any
of
your
members
that
may
have
diabetes
or
another
chronic
condition
where
they
may
need
to
dispose
of
needles
properly.
That
is
that's
it
for
my
questions.
I'm
councilor,
Pressley,
I
think.
L
D
L
D
L
A
lot
of
questioning
around
partnership
with
the
Boston
Public
Health
Commission
I,
want
to
thank
chief
Martinez
and
his
shop
for
participating
in
my
annual
council
briefing
on
the
healthy
Boston
report,
and
one
of
the
things
that
was
cited
regularly
in
that
report
was
a
youth
risk.
Behavior
survey
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
all
have
access
to
that
and
are
aware
of
the
findings
of
that
report
as
well,
so
that
there
are
opportunities
for
synergy.
L
So,
for
example,
we
found
that
cigarette
usage
and
binge
drinking
have
dropped
considerably,
but
we
do
sweeten
see
an
increase
in
cannabis
use.
You
know.
Teen
pregnancy
numbers
have
dropped
considerably,
but
we
see
an
increase
in
sti's
and
STDs,
so
I,
just
wonder
if
there,
if
you
all,
are
privy
to
the
data
and
if
there
are
opportunities
for
prevention
and
education
with
the
Commission
and
with
you
to
address
these
disparities,
yeah.
C
Thanks
thanks
for
that
question,
and
yes,
chief
Martinez
actually
hosted
a
presentation
and
one
of
the
cabinet
meetings.
Well,
he
invited
two
Health
Commission
to
host
a
presentation
around
that,
and
there
was
some
really
interesting
findings,
but
also
the
opportunity
to
really
think
about
the
work
and
our
spaces
to
support
a
lot
of
those
findings.
And
you
know
we
recently
met
with
the
Health
Commission
to
really
do
some.
L
Make
sure
we
continue
to
engage
the
consumers,
you
know
our
young
people
and
what
their
needs
are,
so
that
the
programming
is
you
know,
grass
tops
up
and
not
top-down,
especially
on
the
prevention
and
education
side.
So,
however,
I
can
be
a
partner
or
a
resource
with
you
and
the
health
mission.
I
hope
you
will
actively
engage
me
either
using
my
social
media
platforms
to
promote
things
or
to
personally
attend,
or
even
to
provide
community
forums
to
present
this
data.
L
So
in
the
vein
of
partnerships,
councillor
Edwards
and
asabi
George
have
initiated
a
revisiting
of
how
many
of
our
college
and
universities
are
actively
taking
part
in
pilot
and
pay
me
a
little
taxes
and
I.
Just
wonder
you
know,
given
the
great
needs
and
how
hard
your
you
know,
your
your
team
and
your
staff
work
and
are
talking
about
the
need
to
have
more
dedicated
programming
and
growth
hall,
and
you
know
so
many
other
things.
B
Have
a
few
when
I
think
that
we
it's
still
an
area
that
we
can
continue
to
deepen
and
improve
where
look
at
it
the
way
our
centers
are
scattered,
geographically,
there's
an
opportunity
to
always
have
a
college
that
can
be
married
to
it,
but
when
we
have
relationships
like
bu
that
does
a
fabulous
job
at
the
Blackstone
offering
a
beautiful
fitness
center.
That's
really
not
just
about
providing
fitness,
but
more
the
about
the
education,
about
breaking
unhealthy
habits
and
how
exercise
plays
a
role
in
in
combating
you
know,
health
issues,
you
know,
hypertension
and
etc.
L
H
E
L
That's
okay,
too!
So
you
know,
please
do
let
us
know.
Okay,
speaking
of
unhealthy
habits,
financial,
fitness
or
lack
thereof,
is
certainly
one
of
them
for
many
of
our
families.
I'll
include
myself
in
that
and
trying
to
unlearn.
You
know
bad
behaviors
and
just
a
lack
of
generational,
financial
literacy
and
fiscal
management,
and
so
I
understand
that
some
of
the
programming
that
you're
doing
in
your
centers
so
just
wants
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
So.
L
It
lists
for
contracts
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
there's
Boston
after
school
and
Beyond
incorporated
MOU,
after-school
initiative
and
then
smart
from
the
start,
which
is
an
organization
I
love
I,
just
want
to
give
them
a
huge
shout
out,
I'm,
so
glad
to
know
that
they
are
a
partner
and
that
amount
is
for
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
if
any
of
these
are
a
more
WBE
contracts,
and
if
this
is
in
any
way
an
increase
from
previous
years.
D
So
console
those
those
are
the
same
eye.
Those
contracts
have
been
running
for
a
while,
I
mean
the
department.
Just
we
don't
have.
Typically
that's
really
all
we
have
over
a
hundred
thousand.
We
don't
have
many
contracts
all
over
that
amount,
but
those
have
been
in
here
for
at
least
again
I
can
go
back
at
least.
K
M
You,
madam
chair,
just
on
the
issue
around
the
partnership
around
substance
abuse
or
make
sure
to
get
a
commitment
that
no
community
center
is
gonna,
be
used
to
allow
folks
to
inject
heroin
or
fentanyl.
There's
a
movement
afoot
to
try
to
find
these
injection
sites,
so
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
a
that's
a
non-starter
for
centers
for
youth
and
families.
M
Okay,
going
back
to
the
line
items
to
the
permanent
employees.
If
you
look
at
the
increase
this
year,
permit
employees
was
nine
hundred
forty
six
thousand
one
nineteen,
and
if
you
look
at
last
year's
it
was
three
thirty
five
to
twenty
eight.
So
over
the
last
three
years,
it's
a
one
point
two,
eight
one,
three,
four
seven
so
close
to
1.3
million
dollars
on
personnel.
Can
you
just
explain
the
increase
in
the
staffing
and
what
areas?
What
community
centers,
who
got
the
bump
yeah.
B
I
think
that
the
Condon
to
end
it
and
the
Draper
to
extend
them
to
six
six
eight
away
sites
or
a
part
of
that
that
that
math,
the
other
one,
is
that
we're
also
relocating
from
the
Cleveland
to
the
Marshall
school,
meaning
that
we
had
a
number
of
a
couple
of
numbers
of
staff
there
to
support
the
program
needs
that
we're
expecting
there.
It
was
part
of
that
factor.
Last
year
we
were
only
looking
at
really
floating
lifeguards.
That
was
the
kind
of
one
of
the
biggest
pieces
and
I'm
not
sure.
B
D
E
M
Yeah
just
get
me
a
clear
answer
on
that.
Also,
if
you
looking
dark
at
line
item
five
for
nine
hundred,
it's
just
other
other
current
charges.
There's
a
line
item
there
for
151
nine
hundred.
What
is
that
you
know
hundred
fifty
one
thousand
nine
hundred
dollars
page
eleven,
five:
four:
nine:
zero
zero
other
current
charges.
I
can.
M
Be
great,
thank
you
and
then
looking
at
the
external
funds,
it
looks
like
external
funds
are
down
over
forty
percent,
so
I
which
is
concerning
so
how
do
you
plan
on
overcoming
the
decrease
in
the
external
funds
and
do
any
of
these
programs
have
to
be
eliminated?
You
see,
there's
some
big
cuts
to
the
tiny
tots
program:
big
cuts
to
the
street
safe
program,
big
cut
to
city
hall,
child
care
being
cut
to
community-based
violence
prevention.
You
know
it
just
wasn't
refunded.
So
what
are
we
doing
about
these
external
fun
deficiencies?
M
Yeah
consular,
you
h
to
preach
to
external
fund
budget,
so,
for
example,
city
hall,
child
care
was
one
point
three
and
there's
been
a
drop
of
five
hundred.
Eighty
thousand
nine
hundred
forty
four,
that's
pretty
significant!
That's
a
forty
three
point:
sixty
five
percent
drop
community-based
violence
prevention
was
not
funded,
so
that's
a
minus
one.
Twenty
seven
to
twelve
street
state
program
was
six.
Eighty
dropped
quarter
of
a
million
dollars
to
forty
eight
for
fourteen
and
then
the
tiny
tots
program
went
from
seventy
seven
thousand
took
a
thirty
six
thousand
four
hundred
four
dollar
hit.
M
C
Don't
anticipate
of
any
any
loss
in
terms
of
the
streets,
safe
funding,
as
we
were
talking
earlier,
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
we've
been
doing
them
under
the
Chiefs
leadership
is
really
trying
to
identify
some
external
funding.
I
think
we
mentioned
that
you
know
it
was
funded
for
3.1
million
dollars.
M
D
Can
counsel
the
the
city
all
child
care
runs
at
a
deficit.
We
did
do
another
five
percent
increase
on
the
on
the
rates
for
City
all
child
here
to
help
try
to
close
that
deficit
a
little
bit,
but
that
deficit
always
gets
covered.
So
there's
no
changes
in
line
for
the
City
Hall
child
care
program,
but
again
that
does
historically
run
at
a
deficit
and
then
also
the
tiny
tots
program.
There's
no
changes
foreseen
with
that.
D
We
we
support
50%
of
the
salary
for
three
different
sites
for
their
child,
for
their
preschool
teachers
and
the
other
50%
is
reimbursed
by
the
site
councils.
There's
no
changes
seen
in
that
there
was
one
retiree
which
may
account
for
some
of
that
that
changed
there,
but
the
same
support
that's
been
provided
in
the
past.
We've
provided
moving
forward.
Okay
and.
D
So
it's
been
a
big
push
for
us
to
try
to
improve
the
camera
network
at
the
community
centers.
You
know
whether
it
be
you
know
a
theft.
You
know,
accounting
for
something
that
happened.
You
know
just
safety
in
general
that
a
camera
provides.
We've
worked
very
closely
with
municipal
Protective,
Services
and
Chief
Joyce
and
his
folks
to
get
all
of
our
cameras,
not
only
get
cameras,
but
have
them
tied
back
here
to
City
Hall
so
that
the
footage
can
be
viewed
by
municipal
Protective
Services.
It
can
be
obtained
by
Boston
police
department
if
need
be.
D
It
also
allows
us
to
view
them
remotely
so
that
we
can
see
cameras
without
having
to
physically
be
at
the
site,
which
is
a
lot
of
many
instances
where
we've
been
able
to
either
solve
a
theft
or
something
or
or
or
protect
somebody.
It
they've
been
very
helpful,
but
they're
also
very
costly,
but
we've
gotten
support
from
Office
of
Emergency
Management
with
funding
and
also
to
the
Budget
Office
being
supportive
of
this.
D
For
the
most
part,
we
were
only
getting
cameras
as
part
of
capital
projects,
but
we
try
to
fast-track
that
a
little
bit
where
we've
recently
upgraded
and
installed
a
new
system
at
the
Roach
Community
Center
in
West
Roxbury,
the
Tobin
community
center.
Our
central
office
didn't
have
any
cameras
and
is
now
equipped
with
I
believe
16
cameras,
and
these
are
both
internal
and
external
cameras.
D
My
next
focus
is
on
the
Hyde
Park
community
center,
where
we're
trying
to
work
with
BPD
and
some
other
partners
to
see
if
we
come
up
with
some
funding
there,
because
we
do
try
to
help
with
the
exterior
coverage
if
BPD
or
someone
else
sees
a
need
for
that.
Also,
as
part
of
these
capital
projects,
Paris
Street
was
outfitted
with
cameras.
D
Gallivan
will
be
outfitted
with
cameras.
Vine
Street
will
be
outfitted
with
cameras,
so
we're
moving
forward
with
that
and
trying
to
you
know
again,
protect
the
staff,
protect
the
constituents
and
really
just
make
for
a
safer
environment.
It
also
helps
with
visibility.
A
lot
of
our
buildings
are
on
multiple
floors
and
things
like
that.
It
helps
the
staff
be
able
to
see
different
areas
of
the
building,
so
we're
very
keen
on
trying
to
move
this
forward.
M
M
Sometimes
we
get
on
the
design
route
and
you
have
someone
that
might
have
this
vision
of
grandeur,
but
they
don't
use
the
facility
and
what
they
may
envision
doesn't
make
sense
to
how
it's
actually
operated
so
so
before
any
design
comes
out
of
comes
out
of
the
gate.
I
wanna
make
sure
that
we're
briefed
on
on
it
as
well
as
maybe
even
having
some
input
and
selecting
who
is
gonna,
be
designing
the
facility,
so
so
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you,
madam
chairman.
Thank
You.
O
C
Camp
joy
is,
it,
is,
you
know,
under
leadership
of
mr.
beretta
smalls
was
in
the
gallery
as
a
fantastic
program.
It's
a
well-run
program
when
silver,
250,
youth
and
young
adults
participated
in
that
program
across
the
city
to
Hornberger
Jackson
man
at
Madison,
Park,
I.
Think
one
of
the
things
that
you
know
I
think
we
talked
about
earlier-
is
that
you
know
the
program
is
is
is,
is
it
runs?
Well,
we've
got
good
staff
there.
C
You
know
we
can
only
keep
them
for
four
weeks
and
if
you
know
you
you
know,
some
of
some
of
the
most
people
are
looking
for
a
longer
employment
opportunity,
especially
when
they're
in
between
their
regular
jobs,
and
so
that's
what
we
think
which
would
tasked
with.
But
the
program
itself
is,
is
it's
we're
excited
about
the
program?
It's
an
amazing
program
and
the
staff
do
an
amazing
job.
You.
O
B
We
did
that
we
have
done
in
the
last
years
that
we've
actually
pulled
our
Administrative
Coordinator
z'
together,
because
a
lot
of
them
are
always
challenged
with
this
question
when
they
have
a
fan
of
family
in
front
of
them.
That
has
a
children
with
disability.
What
is
our
capacity
to
service
them?
You
know,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
come
out
of
that
is
that
we've
looked
at
our
language.
B
We
looked
at
our
practices
and
we've
actually
asked
one
of
the
ACS
to
actually
lead
a
program
committee
to
look
this
special
population
and
then
think
about
what
is
that
we
can
be
doing
more
and
one
of
the
things
have
come
out
of
it.
There's
been
a
series
of
trainings
to
try
to
train
our
staff
a
little
bit
more
about.
B
All
year-round,
you
know
if
I'm
mistaken,
Chris
camp
joy
does
have
a
a
component
that
continues
after
summer
sort
of
a
program
that
continues
to
with
the
program
a
winter
program
that
continues
to
reunify
the
kids
and
the
families
together
on
a
weekly
basis
and
hopefully
continue
to
keep
in
touch
with
them.
To
think
about.
B
How
do
we
help
inform
stuff,
but
I
think
that
we're
BC
YF
wants
to
be
in
the
future
is
to
be
one
that
these
children
and
these
families
are
occupying
the
same
spaces
with
the
able-body
parents
too,
as
well,
because
the
biggest
challenges,
sometimes
children
with
disabilities
have
is
actually
the
able
bodies
who
have
a
fear
of
how
to
connect
with
them
and
how
to
engage
them,
and
once
we
can
remove
that
factor
and
find
the
spaces
to
kind
of
do
that
together.
It'd
be
great.
I.
B
Just
recently
was
at
the
parish
tree
where
there
was
a
child
there,
who
I
believe
has
phyto
bifida
with
a
wheelchair
playing
basketball
with
able-bodied
children.
That's
the
more
of
the
stuff
that
we
want
to
kind
of
envision,
because
there's
so
much
that
they
have
to
offer
us
and
there's
so
much
that
we
can
offer
them.
But
we
have
to
get
there
collectively
in
doing
that.
Yeah.
O
B
Very
critical,
even
this
year
in
the
mayor's
Youth
Council
you'll,
find
that
there's
H
there's
a
young
man,
who's
extremely
intelligent,
has
contributed
so
much,
but
his
death
and
and
we've
made
the
initial
investment
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
translator
with
him
and
when
he
attends
events
when
he
attends
activities,
and
especially
when
he's
at
meetings
that
someone's
able
to
translate
for
help,
we
didn't
we
didn't
take
his
is
his
disability.
You
know
for
granted.
We
actually
welcomed
it
to
health.
We
make
sure
that
there's
a
voice.
B
O
This
one
final
point
on
on
that
issue:
students
with
special
special
needs
or
disabilities.
Let's
also
consider
us,
some
of
them
may
not
speak
English
as
well,
or
their
parents
may
not
speak
English
as
well.
So
more
can
be
done
to
help
those
students
as
well
and
their
parents
get
the
appearance
more
involved
in
any
type
of
programming.
I.
Think
that's
also
critical,
so
you
don't
have
to
give
me
any
answer
now,
but
that's
something
I
I
do
want
to
focus
on.
I
have
asked
the
VPS
about
it.
L
Earlier
about
which
sinners
had
the
highest
performing
the
lowest
performing
foot
traffic
I
believe
one
of
the
lower
performing
ones
you
cite
it
was
Roslindale
and
I'm
just
curious,
given
the
concentration
of
immigrants
in
that
community
I
mean
certainly
throughout
the
whole
city,
but
I
just
wonder
in
light
of
what's
happening
nationally.
Are
there
any
partnerships,
or
perhaps
with
the
office
of
of
immigrant
advancement
or
community-based
organizations?
Are
the
centers
being
used
to
for
know
your
rights,
trainings
or
immigrant
defense
fun,
or
is
that
something?
L
C
The
Menino
centers
a
it's,
a
unique
senton
that
where
it's
located
you
it
tends
to
draw
from
the
housing
development
that
it
sits
in
close
proximity
to.
We
have
another
community
center
that
is
similar
to
that,
which
is
the
galavan
Community,
Center
and
I.
Think
that's
one
of
the
challenges
in
terms
of
the
foot
traffic.
When
you
look
at
the
numbers,
it's
it's
not
that
it's
doesn't
get
utilized.
The
folks
in
the
community
use
it
quite
quite
a
bit,
but
it's
just
it's!
L
Underperforming
since
they
are
so
accessible
and
the
office
of
immigrant
advancement
and
so
many
of
our
community-based
organizations
from
central
presente,
it's
a
mira.
You
know
they
see
so
many
people
have
been
doing
these
workshops,
but
I
just
wonder,
given
the
accessibility
of
the
centers,
if
they
could
be
a
physical,
absolutely.
C
A
K
J
Thank
you,
councilmembers
vcy
staff
on
behalf
of
project
right
I.
Thank
you
for
providing
this
opportunity
addressed
to
Boston
Centers
for
youth
and
families,
FY
19
budget.
We
appreciate
the
work
that
the
growth
Welcome
Center
has
been
providing
in
senior
services
and
we
understand
the
limitations
of
the
available
facilities.
At
the
same
time,
we
think
it's
extremely
doable
for
the
group
alchemy
Center
to
also
provide
youth
programming
from
5:00
p.m.
to
9:00
p.m.
J
The
City
Council
should
also
raise
what
the
Boston
Public
Schools
the
issue
of
facilities,
management,
taking
control
of
the
Burke
and
Faraday
gym
schedules
in
the
evening,
so
that
their
administration
said
no
control
and
who
uses
their
gym.
In
fact,
they
have
to
negotiate
with
outside
entities
if
they
have
a
school
function
in
evening,
so
they
can
use
their
own
space.
J
We've
had
ever
since
the
community
center
transition
to
strictly
a
senior
center,
pretty
good
access
to
the
Berk
gym
and
working
with
the
Grove,
all
Community
Center
staff.
But
then
this
past
April
after
you
know,
we
always
wait
after
the
basketball
seasons
to
kind
of
reserved
and
false
you've.
Just
given
the
you
don't
know
about
the
playoff
schedules
and
the
basketball
league
schedules
and
the
weather
issues
that
come
up
during
that
season.
J
So
when
we
try
to
apply
for
this
April,
we
were
turned
down
initially,
because
a
number
of
the
AAU
team
said
scheduled
it
out
and
was
kind
of
in
in
L
system,
but
kind
of
blocked,
out
neighborhood
youth
from
having
access
to
the
Burke
or
the
Grove
all
community
center
gym.
So
we
had
a
kind
of
fight
about.
We
had
a
raise
a
stink
about
it,
but
hopefully
between
BC
YF
and
Boston
school
facilities
and
the
school
department.
The
city
can
work
out.
J
An
arrangement
were
in
areas
where
there
is
no
standalone
Boston
centers
for
youth
and
family
sites
that
there
is
granted
some
neighborhood
access
to
the
fabric
and
to
the
Burke
for
those
gyms,
because
otherwise
we
have
thousands
of
young
people
really
have
no
immediate
access
to
gyms
in
their
facilities.
One
of
the
things
that
we
were
asking
that
the
City
Council
come
up
with
is
to
look
for.
J
Is
there
a
perhaps
a
budget
amendment
that
can
perhaps
help
to
supplement
the
grow,
fall
Community
Center
staff,
so
that
we
can
perhaps
have
youth
programming
from
5:00
to
9:00
and
Saturday
on
weekdays
and
Saturday
programming
out
of
the
Burke
or
the
Grove
fall
community
center?
Our
project
right
budget
is
way
too
small
to
really
fulfill
that
plus
due
to
state
delays
in
our
reimbursements.
J
We've
had
issues,
but
you
know
we
try
to
do
and
we
will
certainly
work
with
the
Grove,
all
Khomeini's,
Center
and
BC
YF
to
continue
doing
it
and
we've
actually
had
a
very
successful
Mike,
Sanel
basketball.
They
kick
off
and
we're
looking
forward
to
continuing
work
with
both
the
street
workers
and
B.
We
see
why
of
staff.
J
In
terms
of
this,
the
other
thing
we
want
to
notice
that
youth
development
fund
really
came
out
of
visit,
that
councillor
Campbell
was
at
one
of
our
community
meetings
and
she
saw
the
number
of
young
people
that
are
going
upstairs
to
the
gym.
At
the
same
time,
we
were
having
a
community
meeting,
so
there
are
things
that
perhaps
can
be
done
if
we
can
kind
of
work
together
to
address
to
kind
of
follow
through.
In
terms
of
that,
but
again,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
sit
through
the
hearing.
J
J
The
proposal
was
to
do
a
mini
multi-purpose
field
on
Geneva
AB
across
from
the
Burke,
just
because
the
issues
that
the
Burke
has
in
terms
of
many
times
I
would
see
the
young
people
waiting
for
the
school
buses
to
take
them
to
Ronan
Parke
for
football
or
just
a
LAN
field
for
soccer
and
the
buses
are
always
late
and
they're.
Just
standing
there
sitting
there
on
the
steps
of
the
Berg
trying
to
wait
for
the
bus
and
we
thought
that
the
solution
was
to
create
a
mall
type,
a
mini
multi-purpose
field
across
the
street.
J
So
at
least
then,
rather
than
wait
for
the
bus,
they
can
least
get
some
skills.
Development
or
some
workshops
aren't
some
practices
in
for
the
work,
but
perhaps
and
III
really
don't
want
to
take
away
from
that.
But
perhaps
that
is
the
side
or
maybe
there
are
some
other
sites.
I
know
the
city
has
been
pretty
aggressive,
all
disposed.
You
know
a
lot
of
the
vacant
land
in
crowfall,
perhaps
that's
the
site
that
we
can
look
at
for
additional
bcy
facilities.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
A
Counselor
today
is
Monday
May
14th.
We
are
here
regarding
revolving
fund
for
City
Hall
childcare,
docket,
zero,
five,
seven,
seven
message
in
order
authorizing
a
limit
for
the
Boston
Centers
for
Youth
and
Family
revolving
fund
for
fiscal
year,
2019
to
pay
salaries
and
benefits
of
employees
and
to
purchase
supplies
and
equipment
necessary
to
operate
the
city
hall
childcare
program.
A
This
revolving
fund
shall
be
directed
with
any
and
all
receipts
from
tuition
paid
by
parents
or
guardians
for
children
enrolled
in
the
center
receipts
and
resulting
expenditures
from
this
fund
shall
not
exceed
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
like
to
again
welcome
our
friends
from
Boston
centers
for
youth
and
families.
I
am
joined
by
my
colleague
and
friend
from
South
Boston,
counselor,
ed,
Flynn
and
I'll.
Let
you
make
your
presentation.
Thank
you.
B
D
Thank
you.
So
this
pretty
straightforward,
it's
it's!
The
revolving
fund
that
used
to
administer
the
City
Hall
childcare
program
that
takes
place
here
at
City
Hall.
It's
a
toddler
and
infant
toddler
and
preschool
program,
and
it
is
you
we
do
operate
it
through.
A
revolving
fund,
which
we
use
to
fund
the
program
being
staff
salaries
and
benefits,
and
whatnot
we've
really
been.
This
program
does
historically
operate
at
a
deficit.
D
The
you
know,
cost
of
running
a
childcare
program
is
pretty
costly
and
we
also
keep
the
rates
very
affordable,
well
below
market
rate.
You
know
to
offer
this
this
program
to
to
the
constituents,
so
it
does
run
a
deficit.
We've
been
administering
5%
increases
on
the
tuition
yearly,
which
we're
ready
to
implement
another
one
this
month
to
help
try
to
close
the
deficit
little
bit,
but
the
$750,000
authorization
that
we're
requesting
will
help
fund
again.
The
tuitions
collected
will
go
out
and
pay
for
the
staff
and
different
expenses
associated
with
the
childcare
program.

I
know
that
there's
one
there's
one
obviously
a
director
and
then
I
want
to
say
we
actually
have
a
current
vacancy
now
that
we
just
have
posted
I
want
to
say
they
have
six
or
seven
teachers,
I'm,
pretty
sure
that's
the
number
they
have.
Obviously
all
this
is
all
based
on
the
ratios
with
regards
to
eec
licensing
and
things
like
that,
so
I'm
pretty
sure
it's
right
around
seven
or
eight,
including
the
director,
okay,.
D

But
we've
worked
really
hard
to
develop
a
wait
list
policy
to
make
sure
everyone's
clear
around
how
we
select
children
when
there's
a
vacancy
arises-
and
we
really
try
to
pull
from
that
list
as
much
as
we
can
and
keep
it
as
true
as
possible.
But
we
always
have
a
wait
list.
It
just
isn't
enough
slots
to
go
around.
