C
E
E
C
You
see,
okay,
do
you
want
let
them
in
I
think
they're
flying
over
there?
Okay,
great
okay,.
E
D
D
G
C
Great,
have
you
taken
an
order?
I
can
probably
reconstruct
it,
but
I'll.
E
E
H
C
I'd
order
this
meeting
of
the
committee
on
ways
and
means
for
the
record,
my
name
is
kensey
Bock
I'm,
the
district
8
city
councilor
and
the
chair
of
the
committee.
The
meeting
is
being
recorded
in
live
streamed
at
Boston
gov
City,
Council
TV.
It
will
be
rebroadcast
on
Comcast
channel
8,
RC
n
channel
82
Verizon
channel
1964.
C
So
the
purpose
of
this
meeting
is
to
discuss
the
FY
21
budget.
There
will
not
be
a
public
comment
period
during
this
meeting,
but
this
is
not
formally
the
hearing
on
the
resubmitted
budget,
because
that
just
came
in
to
the
council
yesterday
and
we
have
to
get
at
least
48
hours
of
notice.
Before
a
hearing
on
a
docket,
we
will
be
having
a
hearing
on
the
resubmitted
budget
on
Monday
morning,
9:30
on
June
22nd
and
we'll
also
be
hearing
from
the
administration
there
and
also
taking
public
testimony.
C
So
if
you're
looking
to
testify
on
a
budget,
please
come
on
Monday.
You
can
also
submit
a
video
submit
written
testimony
to
our
committee.
The
past
the
email
address
is
CC
CWM
at
Boston,
gov
and
and
if
you
go
to
Boston
gov,
slash
Council
FY
21
budget.
There's
an
explanation
on
how
to
submit
your
testimony
in
a
number
of
different
ways
and
we're
grateful
to
all
the
folks
who
have
been
engaging
in
this
process.
C
We've
been
getting
a
huge
amount
of
email
and
and
calls
related
to
the
budget
and
I
will
just
say
that
as
ways
and
means
chair,
I
think
that
the
city
budget
is
it's
the
critical
task
of
the
council.
It
is
crucial
to
how
we
live
our
life
together
and
in
this
really
important
moment,
it's
really
good
to
have
that
that
much
attention
on
it
so
grateful
to
everyone
for
that.
C
The
concept
of
this
meeting
is
similar
to
the
working
sessions
that
we
have
had
throughout
the
count
the
council's
budget
scrutiny
process.
So
in
order
to
make
our
engagement
with
the
administration
on
Monday,
more
productive
and
get
more
at
the
types
of
questions
and
concerns
that
councillors
have
about
the
resubmitted
budget,
we're
sort
of
using
this
as
a
context
in
which
to
raise
some
of
those
issues.
C
It's
been
the
subject
of
much
press
coverage
and
so
I'm
gonna
try
to
without
replicating
the
administration's
sort
of
style
of
extensive
PowerPoint,
just
lay
out
a
little
bit
of
where
we
are
and
and
what
some
of
the
issues
on
the
table
are
and
I'll
also
prop.
I
also
speak
very
briefly
to
the
issue
of
collective
bargaining
agreements.
C
That's
been,
you
know,
it's
been
coming
more
and
more
into
the
conversation
as
I
think
it
needs
to
it's
a
huge
structural
piece
of
what
we're
talking
about
when
we
talk
about
the
budget
and
a
lot
of
those
are
up
for
negotiation
and
collective
bargaining
agreements
also
come
to
the
council
for
approval
and
they
come
through
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee.
So
I
just
want
to
talk
very
briefly
about
how
that
piece
of
this
works
because
I
think
we
can't
have.
C
We
can't
be
talking
about
the
one
without
the
other
right
now
so
I'm
joined
today
by
my
colleagues
in
order
of
arrival,
counselor
Liz

and
councillor
Michele,
Wu
large.
Thank
you
everybody
for
being
here
so
to
really
quickly
run
through
where
we
are.
C
C
C
Okay,
all
right
well
turns
out
that
I
need
to
I
need
to
reset
my
zoom
settings
in
order
to
do
that.
So
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
try
to
just
explain
this
and
then
let
me
see
actually
Carrie.
If
I
send
something
to
you,
can
you
can
you
share
it.
C
So
are
the
one
of
the
reasons
why
the
administration
had
to
do
a
resubmission
was
that
was
that
the
revenues
projection
for
the
city
are
down,
so
the
one
big
place
they're
down
is
21
million
further
in
excise
taxes,
so
the
city
takes,
takes
small
excise
tax
for
hotel
stays
in
the
city,
and
that's
it
projected
to
be
down
another
15
million
dollars
from
what
it
was
already
projected
to
be
down.
So
we
had.
Originally,
the
administration
had
projected
down.
C
C
So
these
are
collectively
areas
of
the
budget
that,
although
our
budget
is
mainly
property
tax,
they
make
up
a
pretty
significant
margin
and
then,
in
addition
to
those
they're
projecting
that
were
down
another
nine
million
in
state
aid
and
state
aid,
is
the
really
tricky
one
here,
because
we
don't
actually
know
how
far
we're
gonna
be
down
on
state
aid,
because
the
state
hasn't
set
its
budget
yet
I.
Think
many
here
we
go.
That's
great.
Can
you
just
pull
up
just
pull
screen
slide
like
just
show
the
one
slide
carry
slideshow
I,
guess.
C
Okay,
great
and
I'll
tell
you
what
to
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
state
aid
is
down
nine
million.
That's
simply
based
on
the
fact
that
the
state
is
going
to
something
called
a
1/12
budget,
which
is
where
we
just
extend
the
current
year's
budget
for
another
month
and
so
take
we
had
originally
the
state
had
said
they
were
going
to
send
cities
and
towns
more
state
aid,
so
taking
it
down.
C
9
million
just
assumes
that
we're
going
to
level
funding
with
this
year,
I
think
most
folks
know
that
we're
likely
to
go
down
further
than
that.
But
at
the
same
time
we
really
hope
that
the
state
will
not
cut
cities
and
towns
dramatically
like
they
did
at
the
last
recession.
So
just
for
reference.
For
instance,
in
the
Oh
8
year,
the
city's
local
aid
number
got
cut.
C
I
think
the
net
number
got
cut
about
43
million
dollars,
so
this
can
be
quite
a
dramatic
downturn
when
there's
an
economic
downturn
and
and
like
every
city
in
town
in
Massachusetts,
we're
sort
of
waiting
and
I'm
sure
on
this
right
now,
but
provisionally
they
cut
at
9
million
Department
revenues
down.
Five
million
dollars
Department
revenue
right
as
things
we
take
in
in
fees
and
such,
and
that
5
million
is
mainly
about
parking
tickets.
C
C
So
it's
a
pretty
substantial
part
of
the
fixed
cost
cuts
and
I
mean
sixteen
and
a
half
million
dollars,
which
is
almost
half
of
the
thirty-five
million
that
they're
cutting
in
this
resubmission
and
I
just
want
to
flag
that,
because
it's
it's,
the
kind
of
sort
of
painless
cut
that
there
isn't
a
lot
more
of
right.
But
in
this
in
this
round
we've
got
that
which
is
helpful.
Then
the
city's
instituting
six-month
non-essential
employee
hiring
freeze.
C
Four
million
is
consistent
with
our
policy
and
a
savings
there
there's
this
risk
retention,
Reserve
part
of
the
way
that
the
city
self
ensures
that
we
usually
put
money
into,
but
it's
actually
already
sort
of
full
up
at
its
maximum
funding
level,
so
we're
not
going
to
put
the
million
in
there
and
then
there's
reduction
I'll
turn
in
a
second
to
be
PD
overtime,
but
there's
a
reduction
in
departmental
over
time
outside
of
BPD
three
and
a
half
million
across
the
board.
So
that's
that's.
C
C
C
Because
I
asked
you
know,
ok
well,
what
are
the
cuts
and
I
think
that
I
expect
the
admin
team
to
talk
more
about
this,
and
if
folks
have
questions,
it
sounds
like
there's
a
decent
amount
of
it
that
comes
out
of
utilities
between
the
fact
that
there
are
buildings
that
we
don't
expect
to
open
and
the
fact
that
gas
prices
are
down.
So
again,
it
seems
like
most
of
these
are
relatively
painless,
but
that
sort
of
an
excuse
me
everyone.
That's
that's
the
explanation
of
that
setup.
So
can
you
go
to
the
next
slide?
C
C
Great
thanks,
so
this
is
this,
is
you
know?
What's
increasing
I
think
it's
important
to
note
we're
now
at
before
we're
at
a
four
point,
four
percent
increase
over
last
year's
budget.
We
would
now
be
at
a
three
point:
four
percent
increase
over
last
year's
budget
and
the
biggest
spaces
that
increase
are
80
million
in
bps,
18
million
D&D
and
14
million
in
the
Public
Health
Commission
I
want
to
flag
those
numbers
because
I
think
outside
of
context
people.
C
You
know
you
don't
necessarily
know
what
to
make
of
them,
but
for
folks
watching
at
home,
just
this
math
so
for
the
Public
Health
Commission.
That
represents
a
14%
increase
in
its
budget
which,
when
you
compare
the
fact
that
we're
going
up,
3.4
percent
of
the
budget
overall
is
a
substantial
above
the
average
increase
for
D
and
E.
It's
actually
a
41%
increase,
so
the
DND
budget
is
going
up
enormous
ly.
That's
our
department
that
deals
with
affordable
housing
and
the
schools
budget
is
going
up
about
7
percent.
C
A
million
for
the
trauma
teams,
two
million
dollars
in
new
permanent
operating
funding
related
to
violence,
intervention
grants
be
cyf,
language
access,
food
access,
immigrant
advancement,
age,
strong
and
the
Human
Rights
Commission.
What
I
want
to
flag
about
that,
because
I
think
those
numbers
again
when
we're
talking
in
millions
can
look
small
all
the
people.
C
$250,000
doubles
food
food
accesses
budget.
You
have
a
capacity
to
double
your
staff;
it
does
basically
the
same
thing
for
language
access
and
and
also
adds
substantially
to
immigrant
advancement.
So
for
the
for
these
departments,
this
kind
of
additional
operating
Authority
is
sort
of
a
sea
change
in
their
scale,
partly
because
they're
so
small,
already
2
million
for
best,
which
puts
mental
health
clinicians
with
BPD.
That's
money
that
stays
in
the
BPD
budget,
I'm,
so
you're.
C
Only
shifting
10
million
out
of
the
BPD
budget,
2
million
to
support
more
work
on
helping
minority
and
women-owned
businesses
get
certified
and
get
city
contracts
and
2
million
more
for
dandies.
That's
part
of
that
increase
that
gets
dandy
up
to
a
41%
increase
I.
So
a
million
of
that's
for
dressing,
youth
homelessness
and
a
million
to
support,
first-time
homebuyers,
so
people
may
have
seen
the
oneplus
Boston
program
just
launched
or
some
money
from
that
and
CPA.
This
continues
to
build
that
out.
C
I
know
some
folks,
like
me,
have
been
involved
in
the
campaign
there
too
for
Maha
and
others
to
get
a
thousand.
You
know
new
homes
done
in
in
five
years
and
for
for
first-time
homebuyers,
and
so
that's
a
big.
It's
a
big
city
initiative
on
that
front.
So
Kerry,
if
you
stay
on
this
slide
for
a
sec,
the
I
think.
C
C
It's
certainly
something
that
many
of
the
advocates
have
come
and
talked
about,
and
and
it's
consistent
with.
If
you
go
back
and
look
at
the
you
know,
FY
14
to
19
budgets,
which
is
the
ones
we
have
actuals
for
you'll,
see
that
we've
gone
up
22%
sort
of
overall,
but
police
and
fire
have
gone
almost
30%
right.
So
when
you
think
again
about
averages
and
like
where's,
our
where's,
our
average
for
departmental
growth,
the
Public
Safety
departments
have
definitely
been
growing
above
the
average.
When
you
dig
into
that.
C
It
is
almost
entirely,
in
fact
pretty
much
entirely
based
on
the
collective
bargaining
agreement
and
the
fact
that
over
the
last
the
last
sort
of
decade,
the
city
has
had
a
series
of
new
agreements
with
police
and
fire,
a
number
of
which
have
come
out
of
arbitrators.
Some
have
been
negotiated
at
the
table,
but
a
bunch
have
come
from
something
called
the
joint
labor
management
committee,
the
jlmc,
which
is
where
a
police
or
fire
contract
gets
kicked
at
the
state
level.
C
If
you
can't
agree
at
the
table
and
those
arbitration
packages
have
come
back
with
high
increases,
not
just
in
in
sort
of
increases
in
annual
pay,
but
also
increases
in
the
base,
pay,
which
collectively
add
up
to
to
much
more
significant
increases
in
compensation
than
our
other.
Our
other,
you
know,
city,
public
sector
unions
have
seen
and
those
agreements
the
way
that
it
works
and
I
know
that
the
veteran
councillors
are
all
familiar
with
this.
C
But
those
of
us
who
are
new
haven't
had
very
many
of
them
come
before
us
is
that
the
council
is
not
involved
in
the
negotiation
of
those
CBA's,
but
then,
when
they
have
been
negotiated
by
the
Union
and
the
administration,
they
come
to
us
for
funding
of
the
incremental
aspects.
So
what
that
means
is
basically
anything
in
the
CBA.
C
Because
the
to
the
question
of
how
we
would
bring
down
overtime,
pay
and
the
the
right
to
get
paid
a
certain
amount
for
various
things.
Things
like
many
councillors
have
commented
on.
You
know
for
our
minimums
for
court
time
visits.
That's
all
in
the
collective
bargaining
agreement
and
so
at
which
the
city
is
legally
bound
to
write
and
which,
but.
C
C
You
actually
don't
want
to
sit
at
the
table
in
these
as
a
legislative
body,
because
part
of
the
good-faith
deal
of
a
labor
negotiation
is
that
people
sit
at
the
table
and
then
they
reach
an
agreement
and
then
they
jointly
back
it
right,
and
so
that's
actually,
the
expectation
of
the
administration
is
that
whatever
they
agree,
they're
always
going
to
jointly
gack
but
separately
from
that
table.
I
think
that
we
have
the
capacity
as
a
council
to
set
the
expectations.
C
I
think
it's
it's
just
it's
a
policy
question
right.
Everyone
is
always
the
whole
reason
that
a
legislature
has
to
approve
these
in
the
end.
Is
that
there's
always
the
question
of
you
know
what
what's
the
agreement
that
is
most
acceptable
to
both
sides?
That
will
also
be
accepted
by
the
legislative
branch
and
I
think
as
a
legislative
branch,
we
can
send
clear
signals
about
what
it
is
that
we
think
you
know
a
CBA
needs
to
do
to
meet
this
moment.
C
I
think
that's
a
conversation
that
we're
gonna
need
to
be
having
over
the
coming
weeks.
It's
not
it's
not
directly
a
vote
on
the
budget,
except
that
a
ton
of
the
things
that
people
might
want
to
change
through
a
vote
on
the
budget
are
constrained
by
that
and
what
I
mean
by
that
I
just
want
to
be
very
difficult.
C
In
volved,
a
reduction
of
the
personnel
line
item
in
the
police
budget-
and
we
don't
get
the
police
budget
with
hundreds
of
line
items
that
the
budget
could
that
the
council
could
selectively
veto.
We
get
it
with
just
the
five
standard
categories
which
are
personnel,
current
charges,
contract
supplies
and
materials
and
equipment
right.
If
the,
if
the
council
were
to
decrease
the
personnel
line
item
further,
which
is
where
overtime
is
in.
C
What
would
happen
is
that
the
there
is
a
there's,
a
there's,
a
set
of
provisions
in
the
collective
bargaining
agreement
about
how
the
how
they
would
bargain
around
a
reduction
in
force,
and
none
of
it
would
involve
reducing
overtime,
pay
like
rates,
and
none
of
it
would
involve
getting
to
say.
Oh,
these
are
the
positions
that
the
council
would
like
to
remove
right.
It's
all
governed
by
that
seat
by
that
CBA,
and
so
that's
it's
just
a
really
important
constraint
to
understand
and
I
think.
C
It's
also
really
important
to
understand
that
that
overtime
line
item
by
bylaw,
the
police
and
fire
overtime
line
items
are
the
two
line
items
that
that
can
run
over
because
because
of
Public
Safety
considerations
and
that
the
council
for
other
line
items,
if
they
run
over
the
administration,
has
to
come
and
bring
it
before
the
council
and
ask
permission
to
move
that
money.
That's
not
true
for
this,
and
so
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us.
I'll
be
thinking
about
what
is
a
cut
in
overtime
to
which
the
administration
can
be
held
accountable.
C
I'm
advocating
for
us
to
to
more
no
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
Frank
that
that
would
be
legal.
Nor
do
I
think
it
would
be
advisable
because
I
actually
think
the
council's
role
is
a
separate
one,
which
is
to
scrutinize
or
an
agreement
once
it's
reached
and
decide
whether
it's
an
acceptable
thing
to
fund
like
from
the
public
interest
of
the
city
perspective
when
I'm.
What.
C
C
Doing
that
and
then
I'm
going
to
open
the
floor
up
to
everybody's
comments.
So
we've
been
talking
about
proportions
of
departments
right
like
how
do
you?
How
do
you
make
it
so
that
over
time
you
shift
more
money
in
this
budget
into
into
human
services
into
communities
of
color?
You
know
into
a
lot
of
just
you
know.
Just
how
do
you
shift
those
proportions
and
what's
interesting
about
this
budget?
C
Is
that,
as
I
mentioned,
with
the
14%
increase
the
public
health
and
that
40%
increase
to
DND
to
affordable
housing
being
like
the
real
new
money,
in
addition
to
schools
in
this
budget
and
really
and
also
I,
should
say
adding
on
to
the
fact
that
D&D
and
public
health
have
been
capitalized
somewhat
more
in
recent
years,
but
particularly
this
year,
one
of
the
things
you're
doing
is
actually
shifting
those
as
a
proportion
of
the
budget.
And
if
you
bring
the
overtime
down
on
the
police
side
too,
I
can
send
the
percentages
around
to
people
afterwards.
C
But
it's
a
it's.
A
noticeable
shift
in
resource
allocation,
I
think
with
the
next
couple
years
of
budgets,
what
we're
likely
to
see
our
budgets
that
we
just
keep
having
to
cut
and
if
we
keep
having
to
cut
that's
also
a
way
to
reallocate
proportions
right,
you
decide
hey
if
I
need
to
lose.
You
know
if
I
need
to
lose
some
money
here
if
I
need
to
like
make
layoffs
and
we're
not
talking
about
layoffs
in
this
budget,
but
I
think
you
know
it's
going
to
be
next
year's
budgets
gonna
be
really
hard.
C
That
is
a
way
to
talk
about
proportions
and
where
our
values
are
and
how
we
commit
money.
But
the
question
is:
if
we're
hitting
a
budget
next
year,
that's
down
in
absolute
terms
and
we're
having
those
conversations.
What's
the
baseline,
we're
starting
from
and
the
FY
21
budget,
that's
been
resubmitted
that
stands
against
us
shifts
that
baseline
in
the
direction
of
affordable
housing
and
public
health.
If
we
were
to
not
approve
this
budget,
we
would
go
to
something
called
a
112
budget
which
I
mentioned
before
it's
what
the
state
is
going
to
for
July.
C
We
could
continue
to
have
a
conversation,
but
what
we
would
do
in
the
interim
would
be
to
go
to
a
112
budget
which
would
would
lock
in
today's
Department
proportions.
That's
the
third
point,
one
of
the
things
it
does
is
it
restores
60
million
and
police.
You
know
it
goes
back
to
the
police
bud
but
police
overtime
budget
from
last
year,
and
you
don't
get
that
forty
percent
increase
in
DND.
You
don't
get
that
14
percent
increase
in
public
health.
C
It
also
doesn't
have
some
of
the
new
investments
that
I've
heard
people
talk
a
bunch
of
out
of
things
like
the
money
for
the
CBA
reforms,
the
arborist
urban
forestry,
etc
on
the
operating
side
right.
So
so
those
are
the
things
that
you're
that
you
lose.
If
you
do
that,
my
biggest
concern
as
ways
and
means
chair
is
that
there
is
a
strong
possibility
that
if
we
wait,
if
we
went
to
a
1/12
budget
and
said,
hey
I,
think
you
know
we
can.
We
can
negotiate
something
that
we
like
better
here.
C
You
know
bracketing
the
fact
that
the
current
collective
bargaining
agreement
I
think
really
constrains
us
on
the
police
front.
If
we
were
to
wait
for
the
state
to
set
official
local
aid
numbers,
we
are
very
likely
to
have
to
cut
the
FY
2011
budget
further,
because
we
have
an
obligation,
a
legal
obligation
to
have
a
balanced
budget
based
on
the
best
numbers.
We
have
right
now
because
we
don't
have
official
numbers
from
a
state.
C
We
can
guess,
and
it
lets
us
preserve
some
of
these
investments,
and
you
know
if
the
state
were
to
really
cut,
then
we
would
have
to
talk
about
you
know
pulling
from
reserves
and
stuff,
but
again
we
would
have
set
that
baseline
shifted
in
that
direction.
If
we
wait
on
the
state
we
will.
We
may
end
up
in
a
situation
where
that
additional
that
119
million,
that
was
on
the
prior
slide
right
that
that
were
reallocating
mainly
to
affordable
housing
in
public
health
and
schools
starts
to
disappear.
C
Maybe
disappears
entirely,
probably
not
entirely,
but
like
a
substantial
portion
thereof.
Right
so
and
then
the
other
thing
is
that
the
budget
that
we're
voting
on
in
the
next
12-
well,
you
know,
hopefully
in
the
next
five
days
and
and
just
so
folks-
know
we're
required.
You
know
to
try
to
have
a
budget
by
June,
30th
and
Wednesday.
Is
the
24th
is
the
last
Wednesday
in
June,
which
is
why
the
vote
is
scheduled
for
that
day,
so
that
budget
is
for
the
year?
C
That
starts
July
1st,
which
is
in
12
days,
so
uncertainty
delays
certain
moves
in
some
of
these
departments
so,
for
instance,
I
think
that
the
food
access
team-
it
would
be
great
if
they
could
be
hiring
those
people
as
soon
as
possible.
It
would
be
great
if
I
mean
schools
has
already
all
but
signed
their
contracts
with
the
new
social
workers
and
such
in
the
there
that
are
being
added
through
the
80-million
Authority.
C
Now,
like
that's
just
it's
just
another
consideration,
but
it's
worth
flagging
and
I
said
this
in
a
forum
last
night,
but
I
just
want
to
flag
it
again
for
people
here,
I
think
there's
some
really
interesting
conversations
about
how
we
could
shift
some
of
what
public
safety
is
asked
to
do
right
now.
That
actually
is
human
services,
and
that
would
be
safer
in
a
different
context
into
those
other
contexts.
So
an
example:
it's
been
bubbling
up.
A
lot
is
about
911
calls.
Are
there
911
calls
that?
C
Are
you
know
non-violent,
like
not
like
life,
threatening
in
certain
ways
that
you
could
send?
You
know
responders
who
are
not
police
officers
to
that's
the
type
of
thing
that
if
we
funded
that
kind
of
shift
as
of
July
1,
we
would
have
nobody
hired
no
existing
infrastructure,
no
one
to
receive
that
money
right
and
money
that
you
and
and
to
have
money
right
now
that
goes
on
spent.
As
you
move
into
a
into
this
recession
doesn't
make
a
lot
of
sense.
Could
you
have
something
that's
set
up
a
year
from
now
Batchelor
I
won.
C
You
could
right
so
I
think
that's.
It
there's
also
a
reality
that
this
conversation
has
come
in
this
really
critical
moment
in
our
history.
But
we
have
to
be
thinking
about
how
we
lay
the
groundwork
for
the
kind
of
structural
change
folks
want
to
see
such
that
it
can
actually
be
implemented
right
and
and
new
whole
new
programs.
We're
not
going
to
be
able
to
get
up
and
running
by
July
1st.
C
C
So
I
just
want
to
bring
out
some
of
the
things
that
I
have
heard
councillors
articulate
about
what
what
it
feels
like.
We
need
to
meet
this
moment
in
connection
to
the
budget
vote,
but
it's
not
all
about
the
budget,
but
it's
connected
and
I.
Just
the
reason
I
put
these
here
is
because
one
of
the
reasons
we're
having
this
meeting
and
I
don't
know
if
the
public
always
knows
this,
but
we
actually
can't
get
together
and
talk
about
the
budget
without
it
being
a
public
meeting.
That's
open
meeting
law
and
it's
a
it's.
C
You
know
a
good
transparency
oriented
rule,
but
it
makes
it
hard
sometimes
for
the
council
to
understand.
You
know
where
were
like
to
just
know
where
we're
all
coming
from
and
and
have
these
conversations.
So
that's
why
I
convened
this
today
and
I
just
wanted
to
like
list
a
few
of
the
things
that
I've
been
consistently
hearing.
C
Most
impactful
II
I
think
that
I've
heard
two
things
about
the
reallocated
12
million
one
is
it's
not
enough,
and
another
is
that
there
that
you
know
there's
a
huge,
huge
community
pressure
for
this
kind
of
reallocation,
but
not
community
involvement
and
not
councilor
involvement
and
kind
of
how
it's
going
to
be
programmed
and
I.
Think
that's
even
within
the
context
and
which
a
bunch
of
the
buckets
that
the
administration
has
proposed
to
move
it
into
our
buckets.
C
That
people
think
could
make
sense,
but
folks
want
to
know
like
what
will
it
really
be
and
they
want
more
than
to
know
they
want
to
have
a
voice
in
that.
And
so
that's
one
of
the
strong
threads
that
I
have
heard
additional
support
for
youth
jobs,
I
think
there's,
obviously
a
very
strong
group
of
advocates
whom
I
think
many
of
us
know
and
love
who
have
been
pushing
for
a
wider
eligibility
for
the
summer
jobs
program.
C
It
seems
like
the
summer
jobs
program
has
now
gotten
up
to
a
kind
of
4700,
so
it
seems
like
we're
pretty
close
to
their
5,000
goal
on
that
side,
but
there's
a
lot
of
interest
in
uncertainty
still
about
year-round,
youth
jobs
and
I.
Think
we
just
have
to
remember
that
as
we
move
into
a
recession,
it
just
becomes
almost
impossible,
sometimes
for
youth
to
find
jobs
in
the
private
side
and
so
thinking
thinking
about
how
we
provide
that
opportunity
and
I've
heard
a
lot
a
lot
from
councilors
about
that.
C
You
know
on
a
on
a
feasible
but
urgent
timescale
right
thinking
about
the
year
head,
so
that
that's
what
I've
heard
folks
saying,
but
now
now
I've
I've
certainly
talked
enough
and
I
want
to
give
people
the
floor
to
speak
about
sort
of
what
are
the
things
that
your?
What
are
the
things
that
you're
thinking
about
in
this
process
and
and
that
you
want
other
councillors
to
keep
in
mind
and
and
as
well?
C
What
are
your
questions
and
concerns
to
the
administration,
keeping
in
mind
that
we're
going
to
be
having
a
hearing
on
Monday
to
hear
both
from
them
and
from
the
public?
So
I'm
gonna
go
first
councillor
Braden,
who
is
here
first
and
then
it
will
be
councilor.
Clarity
and
I'll
put
the
order
in
the
chat,
I'm
gonna
ask
folks
to
just
you
know:
make
it
a
five-minute
thing
now
and
obviously
keep
it
to
three
great:
we'll
do
the
normal!
C
Well,
you
know
what
I
would
love
is
what
I'd
love
is
to
sort
of
run
through
people's
initial
thoughts
and
then,
if
folks
have
something
they
want
to
come
back
on.
We
do
another
round,
but
I'll
do
the
same
thing
as
usual,
where
I
set
a
timer
and
show
you
the
gavel
so
councillor
Braden,
you
have
the
floor
and
thank.
A
You,
madam
chair
bones,
gone
again:
I
really
appreciate
your
analysis
and
outlining
all
this.
It
helps
in
understanding
the
challenges
of
where
we
are
I
also
really
appreciate
the
breakdown.
It's
really
just
finding
the
way
forward.
I
hadn't
really
appreciated
the
gravity
of
the
situation
of
going
to
a
one
or
twelve
budget
and
I'm
not
passing
the
budget
a
budget
next
week.
So
thank
you
for
clarifying
that
I.
A
Think
where
I
am
really
at
this
moment
is
to
try
and
have
you
know
that
conversation
about
how
we
might
address
the
the
police,
overtime
situation
and
I
know
that
will
come
up
in
the
in
the
collective
bargaining
process.
But
you
know
given
today's
headlines
in
the
globe
and
and
just
as
so
much
pressure
to
address
this
I,
don't
know
if
there's
any
if
we
have
any
tools
to
influence
that
process.
Thank
you.
C
B
You,
madam
chair
and
I,
obviously
appreciate
all
the
work
that
you've
done
on
this
and
I
appreciate
the
way
that
you've
laid
out
the
analysis.
The
I
guess
the
only
general
question
I
have
is
is
the
resubmitted
budget
accounts
for
sixty
five
sixty
five
million
dollar
budget
gap
across
all
departments
since
the
original
fiscal
year,
21
projection,
so
in
in
light
of
past
revenue,
reductions
in
in
also
factoring
in
some
anticipated
future
revenue
reductions,
just
based
on.
B
Does
this
put
us
in
the
best
position,
as
we
sort
of
head
into
you
know
next
year,
where
it's
going
to
be
more
difficult
and
having
that
sort
of
multi-year
focus
I
think
we
all,
as,
as
you
know,
having
our
fiduciary
responsibility.
We
have
to
be
very
mindful
that
we're
not
gonna
solve
this
in
a
one-year
things.
Gonna
have
to
be
drew,
gonna
meet
to
kind
of
have
to
drag
it
out
over,
maybe
two
three,
possibly
four
budgets,
but
my
sense
is
next
year's
budgets.
B
Gonna
look
a
lot
worse
than
this
year's
budget,
and
so
this
year's
budgets
important
for
us
as
a
legislative
branch
to
kind
of
put
our
best
foot
forward
so
that
we
can
be
in
the
best
position
to
be
able
to
address
next
year's
budget.
So
I
want
to
put
the
cart
before
the
horse,
but
I
think
we
need
to
sort
of
look
at
this
ISM
as
a
multi-year
approach
and
that's
just
my
two
cents,
so
I'd
love
to
get
folks
thoughts
on
whether
or
not
this
puts
us
in
the
best
position
to
deal
with
that.
B
C
Thank
You
councillor
flurry
I'll,
say
for
myself
that
so
I
definitely
think
thinking
about
next
year's
budget
has
to
be
on
our
minds
and
it's
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
think
it
would
be
risky
to
do
to
count
on
a
larger
cut
to
police
overtime.
That
wouldn't
then
be
real
because
already
I
think
I
think
12
million
is
about
the
most.
You
could
possibly
make
real
and
you
could
make
it
real
through
a
lot
of
work
and
I.
C
Think
if
you
know
we
passed
this
budget,
it's
like
the
council's
gonna
have
to
really
hold
the
admin
to
that
and
you
have
to
aggressively
manage
it.
Just
involves
aggressively
managing
the
shifts
you
assign
like
like
really
some
of
it
would
have
to
come
from
kovat
savings
related
to
large
events
like
12
millions
already
it's
it's
a
real,
it's
an
uphill
thing
to
get
done,
but
the
but
on.
C
But
the
reason
why
I
think
it
still
really
worth
doing
is
that
thing
I
mentioned
about
shifting
proportions,
which
is
that,
like
it
does
lock
that
money
in
in
these
other
places
the
public?
You
know
Health
Commission,
D
and
the
the
whole
set
of
food
access,
language,
access,
etc
and
sort
of
sets
a
new
baseline
there.
But
the
reason
why
to
your
point,
we
have
to
keep
in
mind
the
more
the
more
the
less
we
take
from
the
budget
this
year.
The
the
like
more
likely.
C
C
The
reason
I
don't
think
that
we
would
because
I
think
there
are
there
are
black
budget
Hawks
out
there
who
would
say
a
112
is
the
best
thing
you
can
do,
because
you're
gonna
save
all
this
money
and
you
can
save
it
for
next
year,
so
just
go
flat.
I
think
the
problem
is
that
we
are
dealing
with
an
emergency
right
now
and
it's
an
emergency
in
terms
of
like
learning
loss
in
our
schools.
For
our
kids,
it's
an
emergency
like
dealing
with
the
pandemic
of
kovat.
C
It's
an
emergency
in
terms
of,
but
like
this
moment
of
truth
around,
are
we
gonna
start
on
a
road
to
really
like
combating
systemic
racism
in
the
city
and
so
I
think
it's
one
of
those
things
where
you
have
to
say
like
the
that,
because
of
all
those
pressure
points
you
can't
afford
this
year
to
be
like?
Oh,
no,
let's
flatline,
because
we
don't
know,
that's
me
taking
someone's
time
but
I
I
think
that's
that's
why
to
me
it
would
be.
C
So
that's
my
take
on
it,
but
I
think
you're
raising
a
good
point,
councillor
Flaherty
that
that,
like
worked,
we
are
like
there
is
a
degree
of
21
and
22
trading
off
against
each
other,
based
on
exactly
how
much
we
end
up
taking
out
of
reserves
to
fund
21.
Thank.
B
You
and
overseen
just
a
footnote
on
that
the
911
they
don't
stop.
Those
9-1-1
calls
keep
coming
in.
You
know
there
are
folks
that
don't
feel
safer
in
their
neighborhood.
There's
concerns
around
guns
and
drugs
and
gangs
and
shooting.
So
all
of
those
calls
are
gonna
continue
to
come
in
to
911
one
that
we
we
have
to
respond
to
or
our
Police
Department
history.
Smart.
We
have
a
responsibility
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
our
public
safe
and
so
be
great.
B
There
were
some
focusing
on
this
one
area,
but
the
facts
are
what
they
are
is
that
people
call
9-1-1
all
the
time
it's
nonstop
in
how
we
address
that
and
how
we
address,
how
we're
going
to
handle
those
calls.
You
alluded
to
it
a
little
earlier.
You
know
we
have
offices
responding
to
things
that
maybe
they
should
not
be
responding
to
that.
Maybe
there's
some
other
entity
that
should
be
handling
those
calls.
But
the
facts
are:
is
911
one,
your
calls
being
recorded.
B
We
have
police
officers,
we
have
our
firefighters,
we
have
our
EMS,
responding
to
9-1-1
calls
when
arguably
some
of
it
they're
non
non
emergencies-
indoor,
they
probably
shouldn't
even
be
in
sort
of
the
the
the
realm
of
a
9-1-1
call
for
whatever
it's
worth,
but
that
has
to
be
addressed
as
well,
because
we
have
to.
We
have
our
obligation
to
respond
to
those
911
calls
and
we
do-
and
there
may
be
a
significant
amount
of
waste
associated
with
that.
Thanks.
C
I
I
I
I
C
F
C
I
C
I
Know
vote
people's
votes
of
people's
votes,
I
would
never
say
one
way
or
the
other
as
I
like
the
way
you
broke
that
down
how
112
could
be
disastrous
for
us
and
then
moving
moving
to
next
year.
It
all
just
gets
worse.
We
should
be
ready
for
potentially
school
closings
next
year,
Bolton
Lord
our
lakes
in
India,
talk
about,
and
when
we
talk
to
me.
I
Which
should
nobody's
really
talking
about
those
things
that
happen
now
we're
not
talking
about
Long
Island
we're
not
talking
about
the
methadone
Maya.
We
still
have
open
happening
so
have,
and
so
just
a
couple
thoughts.
I'm
gonna
go
back
on
mute
now.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership.
Madam
chair
was
informative
and
a
breakdown.
C
Great
thanks
all
right,
counselor,
Mejia
and
then
it'll
be
counselor
O'malley
and
then
counselor
Campbell,
counselor
Mejia.
Yes,.
E
Thank
you
bought
a
chairman.
Bach
I
really
do
appreciate
how
thorough
you
have
been
in
this
process
and
helping
us
understand
the
budget
breakdown.
Here
it's
been
one
of
those
things
considering.
This
is
my
first
budget
I
have
learned
so
much
about
the
city
and
now
it
functions,
and
so
this
is
just
all
very
interesting
to
me.
E
Well
our
what
are
our
measures
for
success
with
distance
spending
to
come
back
racism
I
know
that
counselor,
you
know
three
months
or
so
ago
in
his
maiden
speech
declared
racism,
a
public
health
crisis
and
I'm
just
curious.
You
know
when
we,
when
the
administration
did
the
same,
just
curious
about
the
three
million,
and
is
that
enough?
E
You
know
I'm
and
then
there
is
supposedly
going
to
be
2
million
administered
by
the
boss
of
Public
Health
work,
community-based
organizations,
including
ones
for
language
access
and
I'd
like
to
know
how
any
of
this
money
is
going
to
be
used
for
translation
interpretation
of
city
materials.
Just
curious
about
that,
and
then
you
know,
there
are
other
things
that
we
can
talk
about
in
terms
of
contracts
and
procurement,
specifically
around
Black
arborist.
C
Great,
thank
you,
yeah,
I,
know
and
I
think
those
are
good
questions
for
them.
I
think
all
the
council
sort
of
heard
the
twelve
million
dollar
number
shortly
before
the
announcement
and
and
my
reference
to
kind
of
what
I
think
like
is
feasible
as
I
spent
a
lot
of
time.
Personally,
just
talking
to
the
folks
who
tried
to
cut
police
overtime
a
decade
ago,
I've
been
trying
to
figure
out
what
was
reasonable,
but
but
yeah
I
think
that
was
an
internal
conversation
in
the
administration,
so
I
think
we
should
be
asking
them.
C
Those
questions
you
listed
I
do
think
that
the
language
access
money,
just
a
distinction,
is
that
the
so
the
some
of
that
two
million
is
for
violence
prevention,
grants
to
community
organizations,
but
the
language
access
piece
is
actually
it's
actually
for
additional
money
to
fund
more
positions
in
the
city,
language
access
department.
So
it's
designed
to
think
I
think
we
should
ask
them
about
it,
because
I.
E
C
E
Would
be
helpful
to
know
I
haven't
heard
you,
let
me
chime
or
haven't
seen
your
little
time
I'm
just
you
know
this
for
me,
I'm
really
struggling
with
the
us-versus-them
situation
here
and
what
has
happened
as
a
result
of
just
the
tension
that
exists.
There
are
a
lot
of
folks
you
know
advocating
for
that
overtime
budget
in
the
police
department
that
you
tackle
it
a
little
bit
more.
E
What
I'm
hearing
is
is
that
that
is
that,
where
all
the
dollars
need
to
come
from
so
I'm
just
curious,
and
if
you
happen
to
know
this
councillor
Baca
would
be
helpful,
but
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
advocacy
around
youth.
Your
your
own
Youth,
Employment
programs
is
there.
Is
there
any
way
that
budget
I'm,
whether
it's
overtime
or
what
can
we
find
those
dollars?
Actually
I?
Guess
my
question
to
fund
your
programs
because
I
believe
stomates
employment
is
important
and
we
also
need
your
long,
employment
and
I'm
here.
E
C
Yeah
so
I
would
say:
let's
let's
push
that
question
to
them
on
Monday,
but
I
I
think
there
are
places
to
find
that
money.
I
also
think
that
obviously
some
of
where
we're
finding
the
money
in
the
interim
is
the
cares
Act
already,
but
I
also
think
that
if
they
planned
better
some
of
the
money,
they
always
use
some
of
the
money
from
summer
jobs
for
year-round
jobs
and
that
tendency
has
made
them
not
want
to
commit
to
a
number
of
year-round
jobs.
But
we
need
a
commitment
on
that.
C
C
D
You,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
for
a
really
remarkable
job
hosting
this
budget.
During
these
obviously
very
difficult
times
you
you
did
a
terrific
job
and
I'm
very
impressed
unsurprised,
but
impress
so
well
done.
I
appreciated
the
PowerPoint,
just
those
several
slides
that
you
shared.
Can
you
share
those
with
us
know
that
they're
part
of
the
public
record,
because
they're
in
this
so
be
helpful,
yeah
great.
D
If
you
could
email
us
that
you
know
you
covered
a
lot
of
the
questions
and
I
think
you
very
succinctly
and
honestly
sort
of
explained
some
of
the
limitations
as
it
as
it
relates
to
not
only
collective
bargaining
agreements
governing
a
lot
of
the
salaries
and
sort
of
overtime.
I'd
also
add.
Maybe
this
can
be
one
of
the
questions
for
the
administration.
D
So
this
is
obviously
you
know
going
to
I
look
forward
to
Monday's
hearing
to
get
a
little
more
clarity
from
the
administration
as
it
relates
to
some
of
these
changes
in
the
recent
middle.
So
the
non
budgetary
or
non
public
safety.
Budgetary
questions.
I
would
also
ask
for
brief
clarity.
One
is:
will
the
debt
service
change
affect
our
bond
rating
in
any
way
going
forward,
and
just
a
little
more
clarity
on
the
2.5
million
dollar
cut
to
non-personnel
utilities?
D
I,
don't
know
if
that's,
if
that's
sort
of
electricity
rates
or
sort
of
gas
rates
or
what
exactly
that
means.
So
just
looking
for
brief
clarity
on
those
but
obviously
I
know,
the
bulk
of
Monday's
hearing
will
be
on
public
safety
and
other
sort
of
specific
budgetary
questions.
So
thank
you.
That's
all
I've
got
great.
C
C
C
J
J
The
cares
Act
funding,
which
I
know,
isn't
part
of
this,
but
there's
some
conversation
around
how
that
funding
is
being
allocated
and
will
some
of
that
care
is
Act
money
be
able
to
to
support
some
of
the
efforts
that
many
of
us
have
been
have
been
advocating
for
we
know
some
of
it
may
go
to
summer
jobs.
Can
we
can
we
put
more
of
it
towards
year-round
jobs,
and
that's
really
I
mean
the
jobs
piece
comes
from
here.
J
So
I'm
not
really
sure
how
helpful
my
comments
are,
but
that's
that's
where
some
of
my
thinking
is
I
will
say
and
come
from
here
again
talked
a
little
bit
about
this
tension.
This
has
certainly
been
a
very
unique
process
for
me
as
someone
who,
over
the
last
five
budgets,
has
been
very
committed
to
this
process
and
present
for
this
process.
There
was
certainly
a
very
different
tension
during
this
time
and
I'm
anxious
about
some
of
the
the
worries
that
you
outlined
in
your
opening
statements.
J
If
we
don't
pass
this
budget,
what
does
that
mean
for
our
city?
What
does
that
mean
for
our
schools?
What
does
that
mean
for
the
work
that
is
underway?
And
what
does
that
mean
for
our
city's
employees?
And
you
know,
by
extension,
their
families
I,
think
councillor
Baker
had
some
of
those
concerns
very
directly
and
I
think
that
it
is
something
that
we
have
to
be
really
mindful
of
and
again.
It
creates
this
very
interesting,
dynamic
and
very
interesting
tension,
one
that
I
I'm
very
unsettled
by.
J
But
these
are
the
times
and
they
are
unsettling
times
no
doubt.
But
we
have
an
obligation
to
make
sure
that
at
some
point,
we're
coming
together
as
a
body
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
the
work
of
our
constituency
that
we're
also
doing
the
work
of
making
the
difficult
decisions
to
make
sure
that
our
city
can
still
do
the
work
that
it
needs
to
do
and
that
work
is
the
work
of
educating
our
children.
That
work
is
certainly
the
public
health
piece
that
work
is
certainly
the
public
safety
piece.
J
It
is
easy
to
sometimes
be
distracted
by
something
else,
so
I
encourage
everyone
to
go
back
and
really
think
long
and
hard
about
what
we
want
to
see
in
the
present
presentation
in
the
next
couple
of
days
and
really
the
the
tormal
turmoil
intention
that
not
passing
this
budget
could
create
for
us
as
a
city.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
C
Thank
You
councillor,
sabi,
George,
yeah
and
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
important
I'm,
just
gonna
wait!
Something
you
said
just
reminded
me
to
say
that
for
folks,
watching
at
home,
I
think
it's
important
to
understand
the
council's
powers
on
the
budget
extended,
passing
or
not
passing
we're
not
allowed
to
introduce
our
own
budget
or
to
increase
line
items.
C
So
the
you
could
cut
a
line
item
as
I
mentioned
before
you
can
only
cut
these
line
items
in
these
very
broad
categories,
not
kind
of
targeted
to
cut
more
than
that,
but
you
can't
then
reallocate
the
money
anywhere.
So
just
so
people
understand
part
of
what
we're
constrained
by
as
a
council
is
that,
unlike
a
state
legislature,
etc
we're
not
the
originating
body
for
a
budget
all
right.
So
next
up
is
council,
president
Janie
and
then
I
think
it's
councilor
Arroyo
and
the
councillor
Flynn
councillor
Janie.
Thank.
K
Okay,
great,
let
me
first
just
start
out
by
thanking
you,
chairwoman,
Bach
I,
think
you
have
done
an
incredible
job.
You
know
your
very
first
budget
as
a
new
counselor
I
am
so
impressed
with
how
you've
laid
out
the
budget
and
how
you
have
taken
the
time
to
not
only
educate
the
public,
but
your
colleagues,
you
know
your
skills
as
a
as
a
professor,
as
a
teacher
or
shining
through
and
I
really
appreciate
how
you
are
making
this
work
much
more
accessible
to
those
we
serve.
So
I
really
appreciate
that.
K
K
Many
of
us
say
many
of
the
advocates
saying
many
folks
in
the
public
saying
is.
While
all
of
that
is
true,
we
have
some
difficult
choices
to
make
about
how
we
do
business
in
our
city
and
we
have
an
opportunity
to
change
how
we
do
business
and
what
I
hear
loud
and
clear
is
a
call
for
reinvestment
for
reimagine
ation
and
for
reinvestment,
particularly
in
our
people
and
our
young
people,
and
so
I.
Get
that
this
is.
K
You
know
that
folks
have
really
difficult
decisions
to
weigh
in
the
next
few
days,
but
I
don't
want
to
lose
sight
of,
because
this
is
hard
we
shouldn't
do
it.
I,
don't
want
to
lose
sight
of,
while
many
of
the
things
that
we
seek
to
change
may
not
live
in
this
actual
budget.
It
might
live
in
state
legislation,
it
might
live
in
the
collective
bargaining
table.
K
But
what
I
hope
that
we
will
continue
to
do
is
force
ourselves
as
difficult
as
it
is
as
hard
as
these
decisions
will
be
to
really
force
ourselves
to
here
and
do
things
differently
to
really
do
things
differently,
and
so
that's
where
I
am
in
this
space.
I,
don't
know
that
I
have
a
bunch
of
questions
that
I
would
put
out
for
the
administration.
My
concerns
remain
consistent.
K
I
am
deeply
concerned
about
how
we
do
business
as
a
city.
So
looking
at
procurement
and
contracting
I'm
deeply
concerned
about
you
know,
Housing
and
Development,
and
how
we
plan
in
our
city,
the
education
budget
and
and
the
things
that
are
have
not
been
done,
they're
things
that
you
know
good
policies
that
are
already
even
on
the
books.
K
So
some
of
this
is
not
even
do
we
need
to
create
something
new,
some
of
it
is
we
have
to
do
what
we
said
we
were
going
to
do
and
that's
what
I
really
want
to
see
here
in
this
moment
it's
a
real
opportunity
for
a
real,
meaningful
change
and
I
hope
we
seize
the
moment.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
If
I
have
any
specific
questions
that
there's
a
second
round,
I
will
be
sure
to
share
that.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
great.
F
You,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
for
your
work.
I!
Don't
like
me!
This
is
your
first
budget.
What
at
what
a
time
rocketed
to
your
first
budget?
It's
so
just
a
couple
questions
before
I
get
in
sending
kind
of
comments.
Would
this
be
considered
a
down
budget
year
because
technically
there's
a
thirty
two
million
dollar
cut.
C
J
C
We
hope
that
they
we
hope
they
don't
got
that
support,
but
like
it's
just
you
got
to
worry
about
it
and
then,
on
the
property
tax
side,
we
property
tax
is
a
more
stable
source
in
this
kind
of
situation.
But
a
big
piece
of
what
we
get
each
year
is
new
growth,
and
this
year's
budget
is
being
buoyed
up
by
the
fact
that
we
had
a
lot
of
new
growth
and
things
that
got
there.
C
F
Then,
just
a
couple
more
quick
clarifying
questions,
the
one
twelve
budget
is
called
a
one,
twelve
budget,
because
it's
a
month's
a
month
budget
correct.
So
it's
one
every
month
it
just
carries
over
what
we
already
had
budgeted
for
last
year,
so
it
just
keeps
that
same
budget
month
a
month.
The
mayor
would
still
be
able
to
submit
a
new
budget.
F
C
That's
my
understanding,
although
I
think
we
should
ask
the
administration
that
question,
but
my
understanding
is
yeah
that
they
could
they
can
increase
budget
and
then
my
other
concern
that
I
floated
in
the
presentation
is.
That
is
that
if
we
get
a
revised
locally
number
from
the
state
that
we
would
be
bound
to,
then
whatever
budget
they
were
submitting
would
have
to
be
smaller
to
match
that
so,
but
yes,
I
think
they
can
still
submit
a
budget.
Okay.
F
C
Not
necessarily
yeah,
it's
just
yeah,
it's
just
a
question
of
its.
We
have
this
room
between.
We
have
the
119
between
the
like
this
budget
and
the
112,
and
the
question
is
just
as
you
wait
to
settle
a
budget
as
you
have
it.
112
does
that
does
that
increase
decline
because
of
state
changes
that
would
be
I.
F
Was
just
trying
to
figure
it
out
because
I
was
doing
a
lot
of
doom
and
gloom
like
she
was
basically
down
this
budget.
You
know
we're
gonna
burn
and
in
fire
departments
are
gonna,
go
up
in
flames
and
nobody's
gonna,
be
able
to
stop
that
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
it
was
still
true
that
the
mayor
could
submit
a
budget,
and
so
as
we
get
into
that,
the
school
funding
increases.
Those
increases
are
to
find
nurses
in
every
school
and
social
workers.
F
F
C
C
The
I
think
yeah,
the
nurses
are,
the
nurses
in
every
school
are
baked
into
that
44,
along
with
other
things
that
were
collectively
bargained
for
and
just
like.
Normal
cost
increases,
because.
F
And
so
we
also
didn't
have
nurses
in
any
school
I
mean
we
were.
This
was
just
upping
the
number
of
social
workers.
In
some
cases
we
had
schools
that
didn't
have
social
workers
correct,
okay,
and
so,
when
we
talk
about
budgets
and
how
I
look
at
it
right
we're
talking
about
messages
that
we're
sending
values
that
were
sending
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
now
we're
in
the
year
2020.
So
we
might
get
nurses
in
their
school
right.
But
when
we're
talking
about
police
overtime
at
sixty
million
dollars,
budgeted
now
what
they
use.
F
C
F
Have
you
heard
because
I
have
not
but
I'm
happy
to
hear
if
you
have
what
the
plan
is
structurally
to
change
that
overtime
usage?
What
plan
has
BPD
presented
or
the
mayor
presented,
to
deal
with
the
fact
that,
because
yes,
some
of
that's
contractual
rights
that
CBA
so
Court
I'm,
not
gonna,
not
going
to
deal
with
that
with
more
personnel
or
with
the
difference
in
structuring
right?
But
when
we
talk
about
the
actual
structuring
of
the
units,
when
we
talk
about
what
causes
these
overtime
increases,
have
they
identified
that
have
they
identified
a
leg?
F
C
I
L
F
What
message
are
we
sending
to
our
parents
and
our
students
and
our
teachers
and
folks
in
these
departments
in
the
city,
when
we
can't
barely
touch
overtime
heading
into
a
down
year,
but
we're
putting
that
like
it's
as
difficult
as
say
like
school
closures
or
layoffs?
That's
that's
a
problem,
I
think
and
when
we
talk
about
addressing
systemic
racism,
you
know
I
when
I
put
forward
that
resolution.
F
That
not
really
resolution
was
a
here
in
order
to
create
an
office
to
actually
address
this,
but
when
I
put
that
forward
in
March,
I
was
looking
at
systemic
change.
When
we
talked
about
budgets,
this
is
how
you
address
systemic
racism.
It's
hard!
It's
not
hashtags!
It's
not
messages
and
support.
It's
making
hard
choices
about
where
you
ira
ties.
Where
money
goes,
you
know
when
you
talk
about
budget
choices
and
prioritizing
areas
that
most
reverse
the
harm
of
generations
of
systemic
racism.
F
F
I'd
like
to
see
job
secured,
because
these
jobs
actually
have
an
economic
impact
in
our
communities
and
I'm
gonna
be
very
specific
on
this
in
communities
of
color,
specifically
in
low
socio-economic
communities
that
are
being
impacted
deeply
by
this
pandemic.
By
this
recession,
that's
looming
on
those
jobs
are
gonna,
help
keep
people's
lights
on
they're
gonna
help
keep
people
in
neighborhoods
they're
very,
very,
very
important,
and
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
mechanisms
for
creating
them,
and
this
is
a
great
way
to
do
that,
and
so
with
that
I'll
just
stay
I'll
just
say.
F
Like
you
know,
the
city
is
a
it's
a
big
ship,
and
so
for
me,
it's
about
trying
to
shift
the
way
that
the
city
looks
at
its
budgets,
trying
to
shift
the
way
that
it
pirate
sizes
I,
don't
expect
that
to
be
done
in
one
budget
to
be
perfectly
clear,
I,
don't
think,
there's
a
one-year
fix
to
things
that
I'm
talking
about,
but
I
do
think
that
it
requires
us
to
make
hard
choices
that,
frankly,
I
don't
believe
we're
really
made
in
the
way
that
they've
made
use
cuts.
They've
made
tactical
cuts.
F
I,
don't
think
they
were
hard
choices.
I
think
they
have
to
be
hard.
I
think
they
have
to
be
difficult
choices,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
need
more
money
in
these
places,
and
so
that's
where
I'm
at
on
this
budget,
that's
where
I
am
with
where
we
are
right
now
you
know
and
I
get
the
fear
of
a
112
budget
if
we
bloated
this
down,
but
I
also
understand
fully
that
the
mayor
and
his
team
can
come
back
with
a
second
budget.
F
They
can
write
a
second
budget
right
now
as
we
speak,
they
can
make
adjustments
as
we're
talking.
So
these
kinds
of
things
you
know,
I,
don't
think
limit
us
from
being
able
to
advocate
for
our
folks
being
able
to
advocate
for
the
city
that
we
want
to
see
in
the
future.
We
want
to
see-
and
that's
just
where
I'm
at,
and
so
thank
you
for
folks
on
here.
M
Thank
You
council
a
block
and
thank
you,
council
block.
We
working
so
hard
as
the
chair
of
the
Budget
Committee
you're,
doing
an
excellent
job
and
being
very
inclusive.
So
on
and
I
want
to
say,
thank
you
some
of
the
comments
or
questions
or
concerns.
I.
Have
you
know
the
the
controversial
pop
of
this
seems
to
be
the
police
overtime
budget,
but
I
wanted
to
ask
the
administration
or
the
police
department.
You
know
if
we
significantly
cut
the
police
overtime
budget,
what
impact
will
that
have
on
Manning
levels?
M
What
would
that
continue?
If
there
is
no
money
in
or
if
there's
not
enough
money
in
the
budget,
and
if
they
were
the
case?
How
would
the
city
how,
with
the
police,
respond,
I,
know
council,
royally,
oh
and
cauliflower
he
mentioned
you
know
the
police
are
responding
to
a
lot
of
calls
that
they
probably
shouldn't
be
such
as
such
as
the
fireworks.
M
M
The
the
other
issue,
unrelated
to
the
places
I'm
glad
we're
going
to
be
investing
in
language
access
and
food
access
to
issues
very
two
issues
that
I've
worked
on
closely
I
like
to
know
more
about
how
we're
going
to
spend,
spend
that
money-
and
you
know
I've
noticed
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
The
City
Council
is
doing
doing
more
work
on
length
in
which
access
is
some
of
that.
M
Are
we
able
to
get
more
money
for
the
City
Council
budget,
so
we
can
do
more
work
on
language
access
outreach,
including
our
outreach
through
the
public
public
television
and
then
my
other
question,
two
more
questions.
I
guess:
collective-bargaining,
council
embarked,
you
know
some
contracts
are
going
to
be
up.
What
impact
will
a
a
3%
raise,
or
a
very
two
percent,
raise
one
percent
raise
when
when
to
negotiate
in
the
contract?
Well,
maybe
more
I
don't
know,
but
what
impact
would
that
have
on
next
year's
budget
potential
layoffs?
M
Are
we
thinking
about
those
types
of
issues?
In
my
final
point,
council
block
is
I
think
we
have
to
take
a
serious
look:
yeah
increasing
revenue
in
the
city.
It's
it's
not
popular
to
say
it,
but
we're
in
a
very
difficult
environment.
Here
we
have
a
terrible
with
a
terrible
pandemic
and
the
economy
is
not
doing
well.
M
I
think
it's
I
think
we
have
to
think
about
ways
to
raise
revenue
and
I
think
we
need
to
come
up
with
a
a
plan
to
put
a
couple
ideas
on
a
table
and,
as
a
city
I
think
it's
important.
We
all
invest
in
in
this
budget,
and
the
only
way
we
invest
in
this
budget
is
to
get
everybody
involved
across
the
city,
paying
a
little
more
and
that's
where
that's
where
I'm
at
so
again.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you,
council
blog
for
your
strong
leadership
during
this
budget
process.
C
Thank
you
so
much
councillor
Flynn
next
up
is
councillor
woo
and
then
I'm,
just
gonna
do
second
rounds
by
blue
hands
so
and
I.
Don't
think
we've
been
rejoined
by
councillor
Edwards
or
Campbell,
so
we'll
go
to
councillor
Wu
and
then,
if
people
have
further
comments,
I'll
take
blue
hands.
Councillor
Wu
thank.
L
You,
madam
chair,
thank
I,
just
want
to
echo
so
much
of
what
has
been
said,
especially
starting
with
the
deep
gratitude
that
many
others
have
expressed
for
how
you
have
handled
this
process
and
made
sure
that
we
are
informed,
but,
more
importantly,
that
the
public
has
been
informed
along
the
way
and
and
especially
given
the
uncertainty
that
exists
in
general
in
the
world
right
now,
to
have
a
little
bit
more
clarity,
even
about
what
the
unclear
points
are
has
been
important.
I
also
want
to
echo
the
comments
around
mostly
that
I
think
I.
L
So
you
know
I
I'm
intentionality
is
is
what
I'm
focusing
on
as
we'll
be
engaging
with
what
you
know,
one
more
round
of
conversations
with
the
administration
right
before
the
immediate
looming
deadline
of
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year,
but
I
do
also
push
back
against
the
idea
that
that
is
it's
and
that's
the
the
you
know
absolute
end
to
conversation.
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
and
certainly
I
will
put
in
some
effort
on
mind
as
well.
L
I
hear
your
concerns
and
concerns
of
the
administration
about
how
state
aid
and
continued
changes
to
projections
of
state
revenues
might
be.
Then
in
cap
you
know
changed
if
the
timeline
is
pushed
out
further,
but
it
would
be
helpful
to
have
some
specifics.
Even
if
it's
you
know
specifics
about
what
the
uncertainty
is
again
from
the
state
and
and
how
that
process
would
work.
L
C
B
You,
madam
chair,
it
was
just
them.
Obviously,
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
9-1-1
in
May
in
the
first
round.
Also
something
we
need
to
be
mindful
of
is
that
we're
not
really
keeping
up
with
the
trician
in
a
lot
of
men
and
women,
of
the
Department
of
being
ordered
in
on
forced
overtime
just
to
meet
the
shift
demands
endure
to
meet
the
9-1-1
calls
and
that's
a
factor
which
arguably
is
a
piece
of
the
overtime
and
I'm,
not
sure
what?
If
any
response
we
have
from
from
the
administration
or
the
Department
on
that.
B
B
It's
it's
predictability
in
planning
and
as
we
mentioned
earlier,
it's
this
is
gonna,
be
a
multi
budget,
multi-year
approach,
I
think
that
having
predictability
and
obviously
having
in
planning
alongside
of
that
predictability,
not
quite
sure
you
get
that
in
the
112,
but
I
just
think
that
is
we're.
Looking
at
the
the
money,
the
12
million.
Arguably
that's
going
to
be
reallocated,
then
we
need
some.
B
You
know,
there's
no
predictability
in
that,
and
there
needs
to
be
some
planning
around
those
funds
and
to
accomplish
some
of
the
the
goals
and
objectives
and
the
policy
changes
that
we'll
look
and
obviously
and
to
think
specifically
about
you,
know
previous
discussions
around
sort
of
the
neighborhood
housing
trust
being
able
to.
You
know
to
get
this
additional
funds
get
their
funds
in
a
timely
manner,
particularly
if
you
know
if
we
were
to
anticipate
the
real
estate
tax
transfer,
passing
not
quite
sure
if
we
have
any
indication
from
our.
B
You
know
our
colleagues
up
at
the
Statehouse,
but
that's
a
big
piece
of
this,
as
well
as
to,
in
addition
to
some
of
the
revenue
cuts,
were
where
we're
going
to
be
getting.
Are
we
going
to
be
getting
things
like
the
real
estate
tax
transfer,
and
what
does
that
mean
for
me
because
predictability
and
planning
standpoint?
So
those
are
a
couple
things
I
think
that
we
should
also
keep
on
our
forefront.
K
You
so
much
madam
chair
I
just
wanted
to
chime
in
and
build
upon
the
earlier
comments
from
some
of
my
colleagues
and
I'm,
really
appreciative
of
them
for
bringing
up
this.
This
false
choice
that
I
think
we're
framing
the
budget
as
and
and
we've
been
asked
to
take
on
false
choices
throughout
history.
It's
either
this
or
it's
that
and
so
I
really
really
appreciate
councillor
royal
highlighting
that.
K
Certainly
we
are
not
going
to
solve
400
years
of
oppression
in
one
budget
cycle,
but
we
do
have
the
opportunity
to
do
something
different
and
these
choices
are
going
to
be
hard,
and
so
the
decisions
that
we
make
now
you
know
will
impact
future
generations.
Are
we
going
to
continue
to
compound
trauma
on
top
of
trauma?
Are
we
going
to
continue
to
displace
people
from
our
neighborhoods?
K
Are
we
going
to
continue
to
contract
with
businesses
that
are
not
headquartered
in
Boston
that
are
not
owned
by
women
that
are
not
owned
by
people
of
color
spending,
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
of
the
taxpayers
money?
Doing
that
I
believe
there's
an
opportunity
to
do
something.
Different
I
think
this
budget
process
can
help
set
us
on
that
path,
and
so
I
am
looking
for
investments
that
get
us
there.
They
get
at
the
root
cause
and
that
creates
different
opportunities
for
those
who
have
been
locked
out
and
left
behind
for
far
too
long.
K
So
I
really
appreciate
lifting
that
up
again
there.
This
is
difficult
for
all
of
us,
but
it's
important
that
we
not
create
this
false
framework
around
it's
this
or
that
you
know
the
same
thing
with
the
police:
either
we
care
about
black
lives
and
we
care
about
the
police.
We
can
care
about
the
police
in
our
communities.
K
Many
of
us
know
police
officers,
police
officers
who
are
doing
good
work,
but
we
can
also
call
out
the
nonsense
when
it
comes
to
violence
and
abuse
against
people
of
color,
and
by
calling
that
out,
it
does
not
mean
that
you
don't
support
good
police
work
when
you
see
it
so
we've
got
to
push
back
against
this
false
narrative.
This
false
choice,
the
way
we
frame
things
because
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
move
forward
if
we
stay
stuck
in
that
paradigm.
So,
thank
you
again,
madam
chair,
for
your
leadership
in
this
process.
K
C
Just
from
from
my
perspective,
because
I
hear
that
argument
about
the
false
frame
and
I
think
that
it's
not
so
much
it's
not
so
much
that,
like
you
know,
we
hit
Armageddon
and
if
we
go
into
a
112
in
July,
the
piece
that
I
was
really
trying
to
lift
up
and
that
I
want
to
emphasize
again
is
that,
like
I
I
want
to
see
a
shift
fundamentally,
the
way
that
we
apportion
money
in
the
city
and
I
think
that
it's
I
just
want
to
stress.
For
folks.
C
C
This
budget
is
like
making
a
major
shift
in
the
way
we
apportion
resources,
and
so
to
me
the
riskier
is
less
about
the
risk
of.
Are
we
going
to
be
meeting
our
sort
of
normal
levels
of
service
etc?
If
we
go
over
this
edge,
it's
more
that
as
we
talk
about
a
multi-year
plan
to
move
forward
into
a
more
just
city.
C
To
me,
one
of
the
critical
pieces
of
that
is
increasing
substantially
our
commitment
to
affordable
housing
and
if
we,
if
and
and
that
is
something
that's
in
this
budget-
and
it's
unusual
so
I
just
want
to
flag
for
people
that
that's
that's
an
important
consideration.
That
I
was
raising
and
I
raised
that
more,
maybe
in
my
capacity
as
a
councillor
then
as
the
chair.
But
it's
not
it's
not
necessarily
about
a
you
know.
Oh
like
we
got
to
stay
with
we're
with
the
status
quo.
C
F
Royale,
thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I,
just
want
to
kind
of
because
council,
if
I
already
brought
it
up
and
I,
think
that's
an
important
discussion
to
have
about
I.
Think
councillor
Flynn
also
brought
it
up
about
the
number
of
units
that
we
have
in
our
districts
patrolling
at
any
given
time
and
well,
we've
been
in
this
conversation.
I
know
I'm
Monday,
so
the
administration
has
a
chance
to
speak
to
us
just
to
clarify
yes,.
F
So
I
just
kind
of
want
to
put
this
on
the
table.
I've
spoken
to
a
number
of
different
police
are
members,
Boston,
Police
members
at
different
ranks,
and
one
of
the
things
that
was
brought
to
my
attention
repeatedly
almost
by
all
of
them,
was
that
they
do
have
officers
who
live
in
each
district
right,
so
they
rep
there
in
that
district
at
any.
F
Given
time
you
have
a
certain
number
of
officers
on
control,
and
then
they
have
the
special
units
and
the
way
in
which
they
build
their
capacity
at
the
district
level,
which
is
what
we
all
keep
saying
is
so
important.
Having
officers
on
the
ground
in
the
district
level
is
by
using
their
overtime
to
get
folks
from
the
bike
unit
or
these
other
units
to
make
up
the
deficits
that
they
have,
because
they
don't
live
at
home
at
the
district
level,
and
so
that
was
the
feedback.
F
I
was
getting
from
from
officers
who
were
trying
to
be
helpful
about
ways
in
which
we
can
really
address.
These
issues
was
that
you
might
be
killing
two
birds
with
one
stone,
because
we
don't
have
enough
officers
in
terms
of
what
they
would
like
to
see
at
the
district
level,
and
so
what
happens
is
because
they're
understaffed
they
use
that
overtime,
budget
they're
allotted
to
call
in
officers.
F
We
already
have
foreign
specialized
units,
but
don't
live
at
that
district
level,
and
so,
if
you
decentralized
there's
a
real
scent,
there's
a
real
idea
there
that
you
take
care
of
a
massive
amount
of
this
overtime,
and
so
when
we're
talking
about
solutions
to
this
I
do
think
that
officers
have
to
be
at
the
table
on
that.
But
we
also
have
to
just
have
those
kinds
of
discussions
right.
What
are
we?
What
are
we
talking
about?
What
is
what
is
causing
all
of
this
overtime?
F
Why
are
we
allotting
so
much
overtime
to
district
officers,
whether
you're,
using
that
overtime,
the
filling
ranks
that
possibly
could
be
used
by
decentralized
units
right,
and
so
those
are
the
kinds
of
questions
that
I'd
like
to
have
answered
on
Monday.
Just
it
is
into
the
capacity
as
which
they
can
go
into
it.
F
That
I
want
to
make
sure
I
highlight
since
I
know,
councillor
Flynn
and
councillor
Flaherty
have
talked
about.
You
know
the
officer
capacity
at
the
district
level,
not
necessarily
overall
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
that
I've
had
those
conversations
that
I
think
would
be
interesting
to
hear
more
about
that
from
the
administration
in
a
more
data-driven
significant
way.
Great.
E
So
I
just
really
want
to
echo
councillor
Janie's
comments
in
terms
of
this
moment
in
time
that
we
have
now
and
I'm
gonna
be
everybody
knows
this
is
my
first
budget,
so
I
mean
managing
all
my
expectations
in
terms
of
the
process
and
the
outcome
of
it.
But
I
do
think
it's
important
for
us
to
really
seize
this
moment
and
write
a
lot
of
the
wrongs.
It's
really
frustrating
to
a
lot
of
other
advocates
and
people
who
have
been
fighting
for
issues
like
housing
like
education,
police,
brutality
to
keep
hearing.
Wait,
wait,
wait,
wait!
E
You
know,
council,
Baca
and
I
really
do
appreciate.
You
know
the
thoughtfulness
of
the
three
year
plan,
but
right
now
it's
just
the
level
of
frustration
of
the
waiting
waiting
game.
Is
it's
beginning
to
take
a
toll
on
a
lot
of
folks
right?
So
the
question
is,
then:
what
I
have
been
asking
myself
is?
What's
it
gonna
take
for
us
to
ensure
that
we're
looking
at
this
as
a
long-term
game,
but
that
we
are
leading
in
a
way
that
is
bolder
and
louder
about
the
things
that
we
need
to
invest
in
right
and
I?
E
Think
that
that's
what
our
constituents
are
looking
to
us
to
do
and
I
think
in
terms
of
the
managing
of
the
expectations,
that's
just
something
that
I'm
gonna
have
to
reconcile
with,
but
I
just
don't
feel
comfortable
right
now
going
into
this
budget
vote,
knowing
that
the
things
that
people
have
been
fighting
for
are
gonna
be
put
on,
hold
and
I.
You
know
another
year
or
so
it
is
like
it's.
It's
now.
E
E
E
I
know
when
our
gonna
be
an
agreement,
but
it
has
to
be
something
where
all
of
our
you
know
every
we
have
to
recognize
that
everybody
has
little
pockets
of
diverse
perspectives
in
each
of
our
districts
and
those
voices
need
to
matter
during
these
times
and
and
so
I
think
you
know,
I'm
really
pushing
for
us
to
go
harder,
be
louder,
be
bolder
and
more
aggressive
about
what
these
times
require
and
I'm
not
interested
in
watering
down
any
of
these
advocacy
efforts
that
we
have
been
making
here
on
the
council
and
what
we've
been
hearing
from
the
streets,
and
so
it
is
I,
go
hard
or
go
home.
M
M
C
C
Thank
you
I
deal
e
in
the
way
that
it
just
shows
the
full
skirt
yeah
there
we
go
perfect
yeah,
so
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
coming
today
and
speaking.
I
I
feel
very
strongly
about
this
process
that
one
of
the
I
mean
I
mentioned
already
that
one
of
the
constraints
on
the
council
is
us,
like
you
know,
only
being
able
to
reduce
line
items
not
being
able
to
increase
any
and
move
them,
and
I
also
think
that
another
constraint
on
a
council
sometimes
is
our.
C
It
is
a
question
of
like
whether
we're
able
to
come
together
like
this
and
talk
about
what's
at
stake
and
the
moment
that
we're
in,
and
so
that
was
why
I
wanted
to
create
this
space
for
us
to
do
so
in
public.
You
know,
prior
to
the
hearing
on
Monday
I,
think
what
I
want
to
say
to
councilor
Mejias
really
good
point
is
that
I
think
we
absolutely
we
have
to
meet
this
moment
and
we
have
to
meet
it
urgently
and
I.
C
Think
I
want
to
borrow
a
metaphor
from
councilor
Arroyo,
which
is
about
moving
a
big
ship
like
a
big
ship
turn
slowly
but
you're,
putting
like
all
the
effort
in
to
turning
it
from
the
first
moment.
Right
like
it's,
it's
not
like
it
turned
slowly,
so
you
sort
of
you
know
you're
gonna
push
that
off
or
do
that
later.
I
think
I
think
we
have
to
be
looking
at
in
this
moment
and
by
this
moment
I
mean
these.
You
know
these
days
leading
up
to
a
budget
boat.
C
I
mean
these
coming
weeks,
like
what
are
the
big,
like
structural
things,
that
we
can
do
as
a
council
to
meet
this
moment
and
not
to
ask
people
to
wait
for
our
action,
but
to
recognize
that
some
of
those
changes
that
we
can
start
happening
right
now
are
gonna
have
are
gonna.
You
know
that
it's
like
turning
a
big
ship.
There
are
things
about
them
that
are
gonna
like.
Oh
we're,
gonna
feel
that
impact
from
this
thing
we
do
today
in
six
months.
C
We're
gonna
feel
that
impact
in
a
year
like
there
are
gonna,
be
things
like
that,
but
I
think.
That's
importantly,
different
from
asking
people
to
wait
and
I
think
that's
what
we
have
to
be
targeting,
as
opposed
to
like.
Oh,
maybe,
we'll
have
a
hearing
about
something
in
the
future
which
I
agree
like
is
not
it's
not
the
tenor
of
the
moment,
so
I
just
want
to
raise
again.
I
think
this
was
consistent
with
some
of
the
things
that
I
heard
today
that
there's
a
and
again
I'll
highlight
our
council
president.
C
Just
you
know
on
committing
using
this
moment
to
commit
to
a
policy
agenda
for
structural
change
that
combats
and
systemic
racism
and
goes
beyond
policing,
real
questions
and
concerns
about
how
this
12
million
is
spent.
Most
impactful
II
also
questions
I've
heard
today
about
you
know
how
that
12
million
in
overtime
is
actually
gonna,
be
saved.
The
youth
jobs
question
you're
around
jobs,
question
recognizing.
C
That
is
not
just
a
nice
to
have,
but
a
must-have
thing
for
a
lot
of
our
families,
and
then
this
question
about
how
to
seriously
reduce
the
police
budget
and
thinking
about
that.
Yes,
in
a
multi-year
way,
I
think
you
have
to
when
you're
thinking
about
something
that
involves
personnel,
but
in
a
way
that
that
you
can
that
we
can
start
now
and,
as
we
think,
about
shifting
those
resources
over
so
we're
you
know
shane.
I
we
always
have
to
thank
central
staff.
C
They're
amazing
in
these
processes
is
on
and
we'll
put
we're
putting
together
a
list
of
questions.
Folks
have
asked
that
are
sort
of
directed
at
the
administration
for
Monday,
but
I
also
I.
Also
just
think
it's
been
helpful
for
us
to
talk
this
through
together
and
I'm
grateful
to
all
of
you
for
for
joining.
So
with
that
I'm
a
journey.
This
meeting
of
the
Boston
City
Council's
Committee
on
ways
and
means
I,
know
that
there's
another
hearing
at
noon
and
look
forward
to
seeing
you
all
soon,
thanks
so
much
I.
