you

I

sorry,

Do

Are

And
this
working
session
is
on
dock
at
zero
to
three
to
an
order
regarding
a
text
amendment
for
the
zoning
Austin
zoning
code
relative
to
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
on
the
sponsor
of
this
matter,
and
it
was
a
referred
to
this
committee
on
January
29th
2020.
The
committee
held
two
previous
working
sessions
on
Febreeze
27th
and
April
22nd
of
this
year
by
the
way,
happy
Juneteenth,
the
echo
councillor,
clarity
and
today
is
our
third
working
session.
E
This
is
I
want
to
give
you
some.
Some
of
my
colleagues
cannot
be
here
today,
but
before
I
get
to
that
I'll
just
know
we're
leaning
on
Zoom
per
the
governor
Baker
governor
Baker's
executive
order,
modifying
open
meeting
laws.
The
public
may
watch
this
meeting
via
livestream
at
www.austinhomelistings.com.
E
1
964
for
public
testimony,
written
comments
may
be
sent
to
the
committee
on
excuse
me
on
government
ops
and
that
that
email
is
at
CCC
dot,
do
at
Boston
gob
and
will
be
made
part
of
the
record.
This
is
a
working
session,
so
it's
not
necessarily
open
to
public
comment
and
I
wanted
to
just
remind
folks
that
doesn't
mean
that
you,
wouldn't
we
can't
call
on
you
or
that
you
can't
have
an
opinion.
It
just
means
that
you're.
E
The
point
of
this
is
to
actually
have
us
work
in
front
of
you
for
the
open
meeting
laws
about
this
particular
amendment
and
happy
to
for
those
of
you
who
have
technical
or
thoughts
specific
about
what
we're
talking
at
the
time.
If
you
raise
your
hand,
that
will
be
more
helpful
to
me,
general
expressions
of
support
or
not
support
is
not.
This
is
not
specific
form
for
that.
E
I
do
appreciate
the
immense
amount
of
people
who
are
here
today
and
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
have
gotten
the
documents
and
looked
and
seen
that
amendment,
and
if
you
have
specific
questions
about
the
amendment
and
concerns,
that's
what
we're
really
looking
to
address
as
well
before
I
get
started.
One
more
statement
to
read
from
my
colleague
one
second:
everyone
wants
to
text
now.
Apologies!
E
This
is
from
my
colleague,
Anissa
asabi
George,
who
cannot
be
here
with
us
today
to
the
Committee
on
government
operations.
Please
be
advised
that
I
will
be
absent
from
today's
working
session
on
docket
zero.
Two
three
two
regarding
amending
the
zoning
Boston
zoning
code
relative
to
affirmatively,
furthering
fair
housing,
I'm
traveling
with
my
family
and
will
not
have
enough
service
to
reliably
tune
in
virtually
I
will
review
the
recording
of
the
working
session.
Despite
my
absence,
I
would
like
to
offer
my
continued
support
for
the
proposed
language.
E
I
am
grateful
to
council
Edwards
and
for
the
advocates
who
are
asking
the
city
of
Boston
to
do
more
than
affirm
a
culture.
I
hope.
The
significance
of
holding
this
hearing
on
Juneteenth
is
understood.
Fair
housing
is
not
possible
without
reckoning
with
the
way
generations
of
racist
ideologies
and
policies
shape
the
formation
of
our
society.
Our
current
housing
market
and
the
huge
racial
wealth
gap
we
see
in
Boston.
We
as
a
city
can
do
more
and
should
do
more.
I
believe
that
this
language
is
a
reasonable
and
needed
amendment
to
our
zoning
code.
Thank
you.
E
I
believe
we've
also
also
been
joined
by
councilor
Arroyo
councillor
Janie.
Have
you
joined
us
as
well?
Maybe
not
yet
okay,
so
well,
get
right
to
it.
I
think
one
thing
I
wanted
to
do.
I
will
note.
We
are
joined
today
by
the
administration
from
chief
Sheila
Dillon
from
housing,
I
wanna,
say,
commissioner,
well,
chief
well,
I
keep
promoting
people
all
the
time.
E
E
E
The
administration
has
sent
over
several
documents
that
that
allude
to
the
I
think
a
commitment
to
have
zoning
a
zoning
code,
amendment
to
affirmatively
further
fair
housing,
specifically
the
B
I,
want
to
read
from
one
of
the
documents
the
BP
DA's
mission
is
to
plan
and
guide
inclusive
growth
in
Boston,
creating
opportunities
for
everyone
to
live,
work
and
connect.
Mm-Hmm.
E
At
this
moment,
in
our
city's
history
and
partnership
with
the
mayor
and
the
rest
of
the
administration,
the
BPD
a
reaffirms,
its
commitment
to
equitable
planning
and
development,
as
it
guides
necessary
growth
by
including
resilient
growth
and
partnership
with
communities
throughout
the
neighborhoods
of
Boston
and
leveraging
funding
through
large-scale
real
estate,
development
for
affordable
housing,
workforce
training
and
development.
The
BPD
a
strives
to
create
a
more
equitable
City
for
all
and
I
want
to
ask
the
members
of
the
BPD
a
in
administration.
E
E
Means
a
lot.
That
means
a
lot
so
with
that
commitment.
I'm,
also
asking
for
a
commitment
for
a
timeline
that
gets
this
done
and
I'm
hoping
by
September
or
the
fall
by
that
by
done
I
mean
we
vetted,
we
go
back
and
forth,
and
hopefully
we
have
a
compromised
zoning
amendment
that
we
can
all
live
with
and
that
you
support
this
in
front
of
the
Zoning
Commission
and
that
it
becomes
part
of
our
zoning
code
again.
E
Well
then,
councillor
Bach
I'm
excited
to
tell
you
we're
not
voting
on
it
in
July,
okay,
and
so
what
I
will
say
is
because
there's
a
lot
in
front
of
us
and
that's
a
good
thing,
but
good,
that's
a
good
thing.
There
are
several
different
ways
in
which
we
have
approached
this
and
that's
also
a
normal
thing
to
everybody
watching.
Okay,
we
approach
things
differently,
but
I
heard
for
the
first
time
a
full-on
commitment
to
get
there
together.
That
means
an
immense
amount,
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you.
E
There
are
first,
the
major
bucket
is
with
regards
to
definitions,
whereas
the
proposed
language
has
several
definitions,
the
BP
DA's
zoning
proposal
does
not
have
as
many
or
I
think
any
definitions.
The
second
major
bucket
would
be
with
regards
to
the
which
I
think
is
great,
actually
I,
don't
even
a
coat
I
think
it's
wonderful.
The
proposed
language
sticks
at
large
project
review.
The
BPD
a
has
actually
expanded
that
review
to
include
small
project
review
under
article
80.
E
The
proposal
language
another
bucket,
the
proposed
language,
really
goes
down
into
adding
affirmatively
furthering
for
housing
standards
in
PDA,
right
planning,
development
area
assessment
on
two
ways,
one
in
general,
putting
it
into
the
PDA
and
then
two
also
making
sure
mitigation
is
also
viewed
with
an
eye
towards
equity.
That's
a
difference
from
the
administration's
and
then
I
want
to
say
the
other
major
bucket,
which
we
may
not
get
to
today,
because
as
a
large
buckets
is
implementation
documents,
so
those
are
I
think
have
I
characterized
the
differences
pretty
well
I.
E
Okay,
so
that's
where
we're
different
I
do
understand
and
I
think
that
were
clear,
that
this
is
a
baseline
conversation.
Both
are
drafts
and
both
are
going
to
be
modified.
I
will
shortly
turn
it
over
to
the
administration.
If
you
wanted
to
break
down
your
draft
a
little
further
than
what
I
did
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
was
clear
on
where
we
differed
to
the
folks
to
everyone,
and
then
councillor
Bach
also
had
several
suggestions
as
well
to
make
sure
again
that
we
have
a
guided
conversation.
E
I
think
will
very
likely
just
get
to
two
major
buckets
today,
which
I
think
is
the
definitions
bucket
very
likely,
probably
that
might
take
a
good
chunk
of
the
day
and
then
dealing
with
the
second
bucket
that
I
discussed
the
two
inclusion
things
that
the
BPA
put
in.
That
I
think
are
great.
You
mentioned
utilities
and
small
project
review
and
I'll
see
how
far
that
gets
us
that
a
fair.
E
And
then
I
will
very
likely
we'll
have
to
schedule
another
working
session,
but
I'm
very
excited
and
again
confirming
we
have
a
full-on
commitment.
That
and
I'll
say
this
to
the
city
of
Boston
will
lead
the
nation.
We
will
have
the
first
zoning
amendment
for
fair
housing
in
the
United
States
when
we're
done
so
happy
Juneteenth,
absolutely
so
through
the
administration.
H
Yeah
I
was
it
sounds
like
we're
gonna
jump
right
in
counselor
Edwards.
Did
you
want
to
start
talking
about
the
definitions,
or
did
you
want
opening
statements
or
looking
for
total.
E
H
Very
good
and
I
will
be
very
brief
and
and
then
handed
over
to
counsel,
bakken
and
cinahl
for
to
get
into
the
meat
of
this,
but
I
just
want
to
state
for
the
administration
that
in
the
respective
agencies,
Department
of
Neighborhood,
Development,
Fair
Housing
and
the
BPD
a
that
we
are.
We
are
very
committed
to
working
on
this
with
the
council.
We
are
committed
to
finding
common
ground
and
I.
We
did
want
to
take
a
moment,
councilor
Edwards,
and
thank
you
for
your
commitment
on
this.
H
Not
only
to
the
concept
I
mean
we're
all
very
dedicated
to
the
concept
of
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing,
but
your
your
tireless
work
and
the
council's
tireless
work
to
operationalize
this
ideal,
because
if
we
do
that-
and
we
do
it
correctly-
we
will
reduce
displacement,
segregation
and
exclusion,
and
that
is
something
we
all
want.
Those
are
hard
hard
issues.
They
have
been
with
us
for
a
long
time,
but
if
we
do
this
right,
we
we
really
believe
that
we're
going
to
make
progress.
H
I
just
want
to
say
also
I
want
to
give
a
thanks
and
a
shout
out
to
the
afh
community
advisory
committee
and
I.
You
know
want
to
say
very
and
I
want
to
give
a
heartfelt
thank
you
for
your
work
on
this
and
once
again
state
DD's
commitment
working
with
our
colleagues.
Here
they
were
going
to
finish
and
updating
the
our
affirmative
ly
for
furthering
fair
housing
plan.
We,
you
will
see
and
updated
with
new
data
new
draft
in
weeks,
not
months
and
I.
H
We
really
want
to
get
that
come
that
plan
done
as
well,
because
that's
a
it's
a
real
important,
companion
piece
to
this
work,
and
so
just
finally,
we
are.
We
are
entering
this
working
session
if
it's
one
two
or
three
very
committed-
and
we
really
want
to
work
with
you,
because
if
we
get
this
right
will
benefit
Bostonians
that
are
here
now
and
certainly
generations
to
come.
So,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
work
on
this.
We
really
do
appreciate
it.
We're
very
glad
to
be
here.
H
P
Like
to
I
like
to
what
what
she
let
us
said,
you
know
many
many
thanks
today,
ffh
Advisory,
Committee
I
know,
there's
been
many
many
weeks
months
years
of
work,
collectively
hours
and
hours
and
hours
of
work
Congress,
and
this
is
an
extremely
helpful
and
informative
to
our
work.
So
thank
you
first
to
the
Advisory
Committee
for
being
so
committed
to
this
important
issue.
We're
also
very
grateful
to
all
our
partners
at
City,
the
DND,
the
BPD,
a
the
Office
of
Fair
Housing.
You
know,
after
the
how
instability?
P
What
you
see
today
is
a
collaborative
effort
to
you
know.
This
is
an
important
issue
that
spans
the
entire
city
and
the
BPD
is
one
of
you
know
the
zoning.
The
zoning
is
an
important
part
of
it,
but
is
it's
one
of
the
goals
of
the
ffh?
It's
an
important
one
and
council
to
Edwards,
as
he
mentioned.
We're
super
excited
to
be
talking
about
this
as
well.
It's
a
first-
and
that
is
the
first
in
the
country.
I
also
want
to
stress
that
this
this.
P
If
this
zoning
amendment
and
this
topic
has
commanded
the
attention
off
staff
at
the
BPD,
a
at
all
levels,
director
golden
has
been
fully
involved
and
is
fully
supportive
of
the
proposal.
You
see
in
front
of
you
today
and
so
I
wanted
to
stress
that
this
has
been.
This
has
been
received
and
proposed
very
with
a
lot
of
enthusiasm
I'm
at
the
BPD
as
well.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
stressing
that
point
as
well.
P
I
can
quickly
do
a
brief
overview
of
this
of
what
we're
proposing,
if
that's
helpful,
if
not
I'm,
happy
to
jump
into
how.
How
are
we
like
to
take
it?
Councillor,
Edwards
I,.
E
P
P
A
really
important
point
that
you
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
capturing
you
know
as
we
talk
about
this
as
we
move
forth
as
we
move
forward,
we're
promoting
inclusive
communities,
we're
promoting
full
and
equal
access
to
persons
with
disabilities.
This
is
extremely
exciting
for
us.
We
have
had
we
been
working
with
the
mayor's
office
with
an
accessibility
checklist,
that's
been
board,
approved,
2017
and
updated
in
2019
and
as
part
of
our
review
process.
You
know,
and
we
would
like
to
make
sure
that
we
are
putting
that
into
our
zoning
code.
P
It's
part
of
the
fair
housing
conversation
and
we
are
extremely
excited
to
bring
this
forward
today
as
part
of
the
package
and
part
of
the
zoning
amendment.
We
also
want
to
ensure
that
we
are
delivering
equitable
resilient
and
innovative
utility
services
across
the
city,
and-
and
that
is
a
kind
of
brief
big-picture
overview
of
what
the
zoning
amendment
is.
As
you
mentioned,
we
are.
P
We
have
assessment
tools
that
we've
proposed
assessment
tools
in
they
have
there
two
pieces
here
that
we
still
in
a
little
bit
of
work
on
and
that's
on,
the
analysis
of
displacement
and
the
analysis,
historical
exclusion.
So
they
are,
you
know
it's
there
in
italics
in
the
assessment
tool,
but
we
wanted
to
make
sure
you've
seen
them
as
soon
as
soon
as
possible,
and
this
is
a
work
in
progress
and
those
tools
are
still
to
be
worked
on.
P
E
P
Analysis
of
historical
historic
exclusion-
thank
you
of
course,
of
course.
So
so
yes-
and
so
you
know,
like
I,
said
small
projects,
commercial
space,
the
persons
of
disabilities,
utility
services
and
then
the
risk
of
is
Faceman
and
commercial
on
the
project
site
and
the
surrounding
communities
and
addressing
historic
education.
So
we
have
assessment
tools
that
we
proposed.
You
know
I'm
happy
to
pull
them
up
on
the
screen.
P
E
You
and
I
think
what
we're
like
I'd
mentioned
at
the
very
beginning
for
my
colleagues
so
I
believe
we've
also
been
joined
by
if
I
didn't
say,
Council
really
also
counts
or
O'malley
was
here
briefly.
You
may
still
be
here
for
my
colleagues
who
may
have
just
come
on
and
for
those
who
just
signed
on,
because
there's
so
many
assets
to
this
conversation,
the
differences,
the
things
to
keep
so
on
and
so
forth,
and
then
the
implementation
is
really
the
where
the
rubber
meets
the
road.
E
There's
the
documents,
the
assessment
tools
we
all
have
I-
think
I'm
going
to
definitely
separate
those
two
conversations
so
that
the
assessment
tool
conversation
doesn't
get
mired
in
the
actual
language
of
the
zoning
code.
We
will
definitely
I
think,
as
you
mentioned,
all
the
a
work
in
progress
right,
and
so
we
can
maybe
make
them
readily
available
for
more
discussion
about
how
we
implement
and
I
think
a
lot
of
Advocates.
E
The
the
task
force
own
and
so
forth
would
love
to
be
part
of
helping
to
shape
those
tools,
making
sure
they're
community
friendly
making
sure
you
know
all
sorts
of
ways
in
which
people
can
can
use
and
read
them
so
I'm
again,
I'm
excited,
but
I
do
think
that
we're
we're
gonna
have
to
get
to
the
language
piece
with
that.
I
wanted
to
turn
over
to
my
colleagues
if
any
of
them
had
introductory
remarks,
including
councilor
Bock,
who
also
has
submitted
some
substantive
suggestions
as
well.
So
I'll
turn
it
over
councillor.
Bock.
N
A
N
A
You
so
much,
madam
chair
yeah,
really
glad
to
be
here
today
and
glad
to
have
all
these
substantive
documents
in
front
of
us.
I
am
I
sent
around
a
memo,
I
think
most
folks
have
and
councillor
Edwards
has
incorporated
it
into
the
comparison
document.
The
the
two
big
things
that
I
emphasized
in
that
memo
is
the
importance
of
building
in
the
implementation
piece
here
and
I
think
I.
A
Think
importantly,
councillor
Edwards
is
making
a
distinction
that
a
lot
of
the
things
that
you
need
to
really
implement
a
fair
housing
loans
effectively
and
zoning
are
not
gonna,
be
in
the
zoning.
They're
gonna
be
documents
that
live
outside
the
zoning,
but
they
need
pegs
in
the
zoning
right.
They
need
places
in
the
zoning
that
acknowledges
them
and
that
establishes
their
standing
so
that
then
we
can,
we
can
develop
them
and
they
can
have
standing
in
our
in
our
prophecies.
A
So
that
was
one
of
the
big
pieces
that
I,
flagged
and
and
I
did
some
work
in
my
memorandum
around
what
that
scaffolding
might
look
like
keeping
in
mind
the
kinds
of
processes
that
the
VPD
has
enough.
Eda
has
in
other
areas.
So
bunch
of
work
on
that
front
folks
can
look
at
and
I
appreciated.
The
fact
that
the
VP
da,
also
I
think
has
come
with
the
start
of
a
bunch
of
that
kind
of
scaffolding
as
well.
A
So
one
of
the
things
that
I
flagged
is
the
need
to
have
that
kind
of
tool
and
lens
set
up
for
historical
exclusion
alongside
the
set
up
for
displacement,
and
so
that's
some
of
that,
some
of
what
I
suggested
and
then
overarching
lis
I
would
just
say,
I
think
it's
really
important,
as
we
continue
this
conversation
about
a
zoning
amendment
to
to
know
that
you
know
effective,
effective
zoning
is
actionable
like
it's
something
that
people
people
can
implement.
It
can
be
implemented
as
effectively
as
possible
in
in
development
processes.
A
One
things
I've
said
to
a
few
different
folks
in
this
process
is
like
I.
Don't
think
we
won't
get
great
Fair
Housing,
conscious
development
by
having
all
our
developers
become
fair
housing
experts.
What
we
want
to
do
is
as
a
city
think
about
what
is:
what's
the
fair
housing
scaffolding?
That's
going
to
guide
this
process
so
that
that's
all
what
is
now
limit
in
in
in
the
conversation
and
yeah
and
I
just
I
looking
forward
to
to
doing
some
of
this
in
the
weeds
conversation
today
and
I
agree
with
councillor
Edwards.
A
You
know,
do
this
together
and
get
a
zoning
amendment
into
a
fair
housing,
zoning
them
and
in
and
and
how
grateful
I
am
kick
out,
sir
Edwards
for
her
leadership
and
the
BPD
a
for
showing
up
with
this
work
today
and
yeah,
and
that
it
just
it's
a
it's
a
great
thing
to
do
on
Juneteenth
and
I,
can't
imagine
being
anywhere
else.
So
thanks
so
much.
Madam
chair.
N
N
In
my
district,
we've
seen
creeping
gentrification
and
displacement
of
working
people
and
families
and
people
with
disabilities
over
many
many
years,
and
I
really
hope
that
this
that
this
amendment
to
the
zoning
will
impact
our
ability
to
stabilize
our
communities
and
and
have
them
be
inclusive
and
address
so
many
issues
that
we've
been
struggling
with
for
many
years.
So.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
J
J
J
G
K
Think
Thank,
You
counsel,
Edwards
and
I
just
want
to
echo
what
counsel
of
Bach
mentioned
from
my
perspective,
I
want
to
make
sure
I
strongly
support
this
proposal.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
city
administration,
and
that
is
here,
Sheila
Dillon
and
the
team
from
BPD
a
as
well
mayor
Walsh,
but
I'd
also
like
to
recognize
and
thank
counselor
Edwards
for
really
being
this
strong
leader
on
on
this
important
issue.
My
my
top
concern
as
it
relates
to
fear
housing.
K
K
We
see
great
wealth
in
this
city,
great
buildings
going
up
and
I'm,
not
all
impressed
by
that
I'm
impressed
about.
Can
we
give
a
home
or
an
apartment
to
an
immigrant
family
or
a
senior?
So
that's
what
I
also
think
about
fair
housing
is,
is
making
sure
we
treat
low
income
people,
persons
with
disabilities
with
the
same
respect
as
we
do
a
wealthy
developer.
So
again
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Council,
but
ed
woods
and
Mayor
Walsh's
team
for
the
great
work
you're
doing.
M
M
Chief
Dillon
can
attest
to
the
role
that
the
Boston
City
Council
has
played
in
in
the
housing
space
and
I
think
we're
blessed
to
have
two
colleagues
that
have
subject
matter
acumen,
their
passion
in
their
experience
in
both
the
chair,
chair,
ed
woods
and
also
our
newest
member
council,
a
box,
so
that
just
adds
to
I
think
I
strength
as
a
body.
So
it's
good
to
work
in
partnership
with
everybody.
M
So,
looking
forward
to
the
final
product,
glad
that
we're
in
a
working
session
recognizing
that
we've
been
at
this
for
a
while
but
looks
like
through
the
chairs
excitement
that
it
looks
like
this
kind
of
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel
and
happy
to
play
a
role
in
in
all
of
this
over
the
years.
So
appreciate
it
and
look
forward
to
hearing
more
testimony.
M
F
F
It's
time
for
us
to
put
on
paper
and
and
into
law
how
we
develop,
because
we
already
know
that
we're
not
part
of
the
process
so
centering
it
and
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
once
we
start
getting
into
the
working
session
is
really
thinking
about
the
accountability
and
the
implementation
of
this.
And
what
it's
going
to
look
like.
A
O
Keep
this
short
because
so
much
of
what
I
was
going
to
say
has
been
said.
You
know
happy
Juneteenth
to
everybody.
This
is
a
great
thing
to
be
working
on
on
Juneteenth.
Thank
you,
too
Lydia
Edwards,
chair
Edwards,
for
pushing
this
through
and
doing
the
things
that
we're
needed
to
be
done
to
get
this
done
so
really
appreciate
that
and
really
appreciate
hearing
commitments
from
the
city
today.
So
you
know
it's
a
working
session,
so
I'm
ready
to
get
to
work.
S
You,
madam
chair,
allow
me
to
add
my
voice
to
the
chorus
of
congratulations
on
your
tireless
effort
and
impressive
work
in
this
space.
Obviously,
I
am
in
full
support
and
share
the
excitement
that
so
many
previous
speakers
have
have
really
relate
as
it
relates
to
this.
Your
work
is
so
important.
It's
so
impressive,
as
we
as
a
body
really
figure
out
ways
that
we
can
address
and
deconstruct
racism
at
every
level
in
our
city
in
our
society.
This
is
such
an
important
step.
S
What
I'm,
particularly
impressed
with
with
this
text,
amendment
in
this
in
this
legislation,
is
that
it
not
only
addresses
discrimination
that
we've
seen
in
planning,
but
it
also
addresses
a
pathway
for
real
equity
and
there's
actually
plans
behind
it,
and
that
is
something
that
you
know
the
the
nuance.
There
is
very
very
important
as
we
work
and
strive
and
and
really
do
the
hard
hard
but
important
and
vital
steps
as
a
local
governing
body
so
kudos
to
you
kudos
to
all
of
the
advocates
who
have
been
such
a
part
of
it.
S
You
know
I
just
look
around
just
looking
through
the
zoom
pages
and
see
the
people
you
know
with
whom
we've
we've
been
having
conversations
on
environmental
and
that
zero
carbon
construction.
What
that
means-
and
there's
always
been
this-
this
intersectionality
and
this
real
desire
to
look
at
things
from
sort
of
the
complex
vantage
point
that
this
isn't
just
just
one
thing.
This
is
a
hugely
important
opportunity
to
address
so
many
of
these
issues,
so
I
am
proud
to
stand
behind.
S
T
You
so
much
can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
you're
good
I've
been
having
a
few
difficulties
over
here.
I
just
wanted
to
chime
in
first
by
just
applauding
your
leadership.
Chairwoman
Edwards
your
leadership,
particularly
in
this
space,
Housing
Development,
certainly
my
colleagues
for
for
raising
important
questions
and
issues.
But
for
me
you
know
it.
We
cannot
just
do
nothing
and
hope
for
the
best.
We
know
that
that
perpetuates
the
status
quo
and
we
know
what
the
status
quo
is.
T
The
status
quo
is
built
on
racist,
discriminatory
practices
that
has
has
left
many
people
residents
in
our
city
out
of
the
opportunity
to
to
buy
a
home
to
even
just
stay
as
a
renter,
because
it's
so
crazy
in
our
city
in
terms
of
these
prices.
So
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
I
think
it's
a
really
important
conversation.
I
have
not
had
the
opportunity
to
look
at
the
administration's
response,
but
interested
in
looking
at
that,
as
well
as
the
comments
from
councillor
Bach,
so
that
we
can
move
this
conversation
forward
into
real
action.
E
E
They
found
out
you're
a
top
law
student
that
you're
great
and
that
you
should
be
in
it,
and
your
friend
came
back
and
looks
incredibly
sad
and
tells
you
they
wanted
you
until
they
found
out
that
you
were
black
and
then
they
said
that
you
can't
it
just
wouldn't
work
out
with
the
neighbors.
They
didn't
want
you
in
the
neighborhood
and
I'm
telling
that
young
Lydia.
E
You
wouldn't
believe
that
you're
now
part
of
helping
to
draft
a
stoning
amendment
to
make
sure
that
people
may
not
be
told
that
directly,
but
aren't
told
that
indirectly
that
their
section
8
vouchers
aren't
good
here
or
that
there
the
building
doesn't
really
accommodate
for
their
bodies
or
that
we
don't
have
the
unit's
for
your
family
size.
These
are
all
ways
in
which
you
were
not
directly
telling
people,
but
we
are
telling
people
that
they're
not
welcome
in
our
neighborhoods
that
this
is
just
not
the
best
place
for
them
and
I.
E
Just
zoning
has
played
an
unfortunate
role
in
causing
a
lot
of
harm
and
then
perpetuating
those
stereotypes
about
people
and
what
communities
matter
and
don't
matter,
and
so
this
is
a
wonderful
step
in
zoning
playing
a
major
role
in
healing
and
I'm.
So
happy
about
that.
So
we're
going
to
get
to
work,
I'm,
probably
going
to
work
for
the
next
hour.
So
I
will
want
to
leave
some
time
for
some
advocates.
Who
also
may
have
some
suggestions
for
us
so
to
get
to
it.
E
E
E
P
Just
trying
to
make
sure
I'm
at
them
on
their
own
I'm
at
the
right
document,
so
I
think
we
there's
a
lot
of
agreement
on
the
preamble.
You
know
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
included
the
persons
with
disabilities
in
our
preamble.
We
included
the
historical
exclusion
in
our
preamble
and
we
also
included
the
innovative
utility
services
and
our
preamble
so
I
want
to.
You
know
it's
I.
E
F
P
Course
so
innovative
you
don't
utility
services.
We
have
smart
utilities,
a
policy
at
the
BP
da
board
for
some
time
now
it
is
a
it's
on
our
website.
Please
take
a
look
at
it.
I'm
won't
going
to
into
too
much
detail
here,
because
we
only
have
a
limited
amount
of
time,
but
it's
a
very
innovative
way
to
look
at
how
energy
is
delivered
across
the
city
and
especially
in
in
you
know,
in
in
larger
areas
of
our
city
with
larger
developments.
P
E
I
think
there's
a
point
of
an
issue
of
equity,
and
we
just
saw
this
actually
in
covent
right
now.
Some
kids
had
access
to
Internet,
some
families
did
not
and
that
we
as
we
are
building
and
moving
and
zoning.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
that's
far,
the
conversations
I
really
firmly
support.
This
analysis.
E
And
for
those
who
want
to
ask
specific
questions,
raise
your
hand
please
like
Nadine
did,
and
that
includes
actually,
my
colleagues
unless
I
just
think
it
makes
the
conversation
a
little
bit
more
smoother.
Then
we
get
into
the
major
difference
is
between
the
proposed
language
as
filed,
and
then
the
administration's
proposed
amendment,
the
definition
section.
So
could
you
talk
me
through?
Why
is
there
an
opposition
to
having
definitions,
I?
P
I,
let
I
let
my
colleague
Brian
Glasscock
who's.
Our
zoning
expert
answer
this
in
more
detail,
but
in
general
there
is
an
in
opposition
to
definitions.
What
what?
Well
you?
What
you
saw
is
a
tax
is
it's
a
draft
text
amendment
and
a
draft
text
amendment
you
know,
will
be
the
definitions
that
will
be
included
in
the
final
will
be
informed
by
what's
in
the
final
text
amendment.
P
So
what
you
had
proposed
councillor
Edwards
was,
you
know,
was
a
final
text
amendment
which
he
were
looking
to
move
forward,
so
we
had
an
entire
definition,
section,
etc,
but
we
wanted
to
really
work
on
the
meat
of
the
of
the
text.
Amendment
and
you
know
see
this
as
an
opportunity
work
through
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
we
are
talking
about
now,
for
example,
and
once
we
have
those
we
can
get
into
the
definitions.
Absolutely
so,
there's
no
opposition
to
putting
definitions
in.
Q
No,
it
I,
don't
think,
there's
only
any
substantive
objection
to
adding
definitions.
I
think
you
know
someone
else
right.
We
need
to
work
through
some
of
these
other
issues
for
and
one
of
them
one
of
the
challenges
of
adding
definitions
where
you're
referencing
other
legal
documents
like
the
Code
of
Federal
Regulations
is,
and
you
know,
and
some
some
folks.
Q
We
know
this
other
may
not,
but
that
whole
because
of
the
current
administration
it
sort
of
thrown
some
of
that
into
confusion,
and
it's
really
hard
to
it-
may
be
a
bit
of
a
moving
target
and
down
the
road.
It's
it
makes
it
challenging.
When
you're
you
want
to
try
and
keep
our
our
zoning
regulations
current.
You
have
to
make
sure
that
you're
updating
that
reference
every
time
the
federal
regulations
change.
You
need
to
go
back
and
change
our
zoning
code
to
make
sure
it
follows
the
current
the
current
thinking.
Q
E
Q
E
All
right
and
I
completely
agree
with
the
analysis
that
we
need
to
keep
it
defined
by
us
for
our
communities,
federal
law
that
can
change
depending
on
how
federal
the
federal
government
changes
can
limit
or
expand
our
ability
to
move
so
I
think
we
should
work
on
those
concrete
definitions
for
those
following,
but
not
looking
at
the
document.
There
are
definitions
proposed
for
affirmatively,
furthering
fair
housing,
analysis
of
impediment,
displacement,
displacement,
risk
areas,
historical
exclusion
areas
and
meaningful
actions.
E
These
are
proposed
definitions
that
come
directly
from
the
standard
which
is
to
take
meaningful
action
to
overcome
patterns
of
segregation,
foster
inclusive
communities
taken
together,
address
significant
disparities
and
housing
needs
and
an
access
to
opportunity
or
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing.
So,
if
I
understand
this
conversation
actually
may
be
better
left
for
when
we
have
a
what
we
say,
other
things
defined
right.
F
A
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
make
sense
to
me
too
I
like
for
me,
the
like
I,
put
those
two
additional
definitions
in
and
can't
be
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
one
because
those
were
the
specific
terms
of
art
that
I
was
using
in
my
like
draft
suggestions
further
down
and
I
think
similarly
councillor
Edwards
that
in
your
text
you
use
analysis
of
impediments
at
one
point
or
a
couple
points,
and
so
therefore
it
makes
sense
to
define
it.
So
it
does.
P
E
Agree,
I
think
the
next
major
bucket
beyond
the
definitions
is
the
looking
at
the
zoning
text
and
requirements
and
zoning
specifically
when
it
comes
to
the
PDA.
E
Q
So
yeah,
you
know
I
know:
we've
been
focused
on
the
affh,
but
I
do
kind
of
want
to
and
I
think
people
have
recognized.
The
accessibility,
the
and
the
critical
connection
between
accessibility
and
fair
housing
and
I
realized
that
that
smart
utilities,
one
you
know,
seems
like
it
sort
of
comes
out
of
left
left
field
a
little
bit,
but
we
we
have
a
model
that
we've
been
successfully
implementing
for
both
accessibility
and
smart
utilities
for
some
time
now
that
has
worked
really
well.
Q
So
we
can
have
you
know
better
and
better
and
more
varied
options
to
today
to
connect
connections
and
and
the
internet
for
everybody
you
know
rather
than
keep
tearing
up
our
streets.
So
you
know
this
is
geared
that's
geared
towards
larger
projects,
and
so
we
thought
that
should
be
in
here
as
well.
We've
had
a
checklist
for
some
time.
That's
been
adopted
by
the
board
that
we
make
developers
go
through.
So
that's
that
that
was
that
piece.
Q
I
think
the
on
the
small
project,
piece
of
it,
and
we
realize
that
you
know
small
projects
do
have
do
have
some
impacts.
You
know
they're
they're
a
little
more
subtle,
but
the
fact
that
the
sheer
number
of
small
projects
is
so
much
greater
than
than
the
the
really
big
projects
that
we
wanted
to
start
capturing
that
information
and
we
think
it's
not
unreasonable
to
make
a
small
project
proponents.
Some
of
them
were.
Maybe
this
is
the
one
off
project
they
they're.
Q
Not
they
don't
do
this
all
the
time
in
the
city
of
Boston
like
some
of
the
larger
developers,
but
we
thought
it
was
still
reasonable
to
ask
them.
You
know
these.
These
tough
questions
about
you
know
who
they
are.
What's
the
development
project
and
what's
on
the
site
now
and
have
they
thought
through,
you
know
the
impacts
to
the
you
know:
businesses
and
people
that
are
there
on
these
development
sites.
So
it's
it's
not
not
as
it's
not
owners
enough
to.
Q
E
Q
E
Q
So
you
know
we
every
time
we,
you
know
some
beloved
small
institution.
You
know
goes
away.
We
all
feel
really
bad,
because
that's
part
of
what
we
love
about
living
in
Boston,
and
this
is
a
way
of
doing
that
analysis.
Trying
to
figure
out.
You
know
how.
How
can
we
make
it
possible
for
a
small
business,
that's
located
on
a
development
site
to
come
back
into
that
same
space
and
continue
to
serve
the
neighborhood
and
I?
N
It's
more
of
a
comment
with
regard
to
the
small
business
analysis
and
in
in
my
district,
we
have
had
lots
of
areas
in
the
district
that
Brazil
for
light
industrial
and
they're
all
being
redeveloped
as
residential,
and
that
is
squeezing
out
the
opportunity
for
squeezing
out
small
businesses
and
leaving
no
space
for
small
businesses
in
our
in
our
neighborhood.
So
that's
another
concern
about
the
impacts
of
rezoning
with
regard
to
replacing
light
industrial
areas
with
residential
and
I
think
it's
something
that
needs
to
be
went
into
thinking
about
these
issues
going
forward.
Thank
you.
E
I
think
I
want
to
make
sure
before
we
go
into
the
PDA
that
we
do
so.
We
do
have
a
commitment,
then,
for
definitions
to
be
in
the
final
text-
amendment,
yes,
okay
and
so-
and
we're
we're
gonna
do
our
best
not
to
simply
cite
two
outside
statutes.
We're
gonna
actually
create
those
definitions,
ourselves,
I.
Q
E
And
I
just
want
to
note
for
a
lot
of
folks
are
things
that
I'll
be
looking
for
is
that
we
really
try
to
make
it
based
on
current
or
these
the
firmly
furthering
fair
housing
definitions
for
the
Obama
administration's
attempt
at
putting
those
definitions
out
there
I
think
it's
really
important
and
using
that
as
a
as
the
guideposts
I,
also
think
in
terms
of
protected
class.
We
shouldn't
forget
that
the
Human
Rights
Commission,
that
law
that
we
have
for
the
City
of
Boston,
actually
includes
more
protected
classes.
E
F
I
feel,
like
I've,
been
upgraded
to
the
status
of
being
inside
the
halls
of
power.
So
I
don't
know.
If
you
guys
can
hear
me,
we
can
hear
you
good.
Thank
you.
So
I
do
just
have
a
quick
question
around
I'm
wondering
if
there's
any
rule,
whereas
in
the
class
to
be
a
little
bit
more
mindful
of
Boston
specific
history
as
it
relates
to
redlining
and
segregation.
You
know
just
because
you
know
having
rolled
up
during
the
busing
era
and
neighborhoods
being
regulated
to
certain
places.
F
I
I
think
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
kind
of
be
really
thoughtful
about
segregation
issues
here,
I'm
wondering
if,
if
there's
to
move
for
the
text
amendments
to
be,
you
know
tweaked
a
little
bit
more
around
just
the
issue
around
segregated
housing
and
yeah.
That.
E
F
Know
cuz
I'm
having
some
technical
difficulties
today,
so
I
can't
see
anybody
as
long
as
and
then
I
do
have
some
other
things
to
consider
and
just
wanted
to
know
whether
or
not
it's
great
that
there's
a
plan
in
place
to
promote
Community
Development
through
the
BPD,
a
by
sensitizing
developers
to
include
childcare
and
career
development
and
climate
resiliency,
etc.
But
I'm
also
curious
to
know
what
can
we
do
to
uplift
developers
who
are
already
operating
in
the
mindset
of
furthering
fair
housing.
F
I
feel
like
some
some
folks
do
a
great
job
and
others
need
a
little
bit
of
more
hand-holding,
so
just
curious
about
what
that
would
look
like
and
then
in
regards
to
the
definition,
I'm
just
curious.
What
plans
are
there
to
involve
the
community
in
defining
what
permanently
furthering
fair
housing
means?
I
just
feel
like
I'll
just
become
myself.
F
These
are
often
times
I'm
willing,
half
the
things
that
I'm
hearing
about
just
so
that
I'm
clear
on
it
and
affirmative
he
I'm,
assuming
it
means
yes
and
positively,
but
I'm
just
curious
what
opportunities
exist
to
kind
of
if
this
is
the
language
that
we're
defining
it.
As
are
there
ways
to
kind
of
break
it
down,
so
that
everybody
understands
and
is
able
to
really
clearly
understand
what
this
means.
E
Starting
with
your
last
question
and
going
back
counsel
me
here,
we've
been
blessed
to
have
an
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
task
force
made
up
of
the
community
from
Ace
or
Greater
Boston
legal
services
from
many
different
organizations
who
and
professors
who
have
been
dedicated
for
three
years
and
actually
helping
you
define
what
that
is,
and
they
have
seen
this
amendment
they
actually
recommended.
The
amendment
have
seen
this
and
will
continue
to
be
part
of
the
defining
and
working
on
the
language
in
this
amendment.
So
that's
been
one
thing.
F
E
Really,
quite
all
right
and
we're
using
specific
language
that
is
in
the
statute
that
created
it
on
purpose
and
affirmative
ly
does
mean
yes
to
take
meaningful
actions
to
do
more
than
just
not
discriminate.
Okay.
Well,
then,
I
see
you
counselor
bak
I'm
gonna
continue
to
answer
and
then
I
will
turn
it
over
to
him
and
then
turn
it
over
to
counselor
Bach.
With
regards
to
how
you
uplift
or
move
within
developers,
that's
what
a
lot
of
the
checklists
or
the
implementation
documents
will
be
doing,
and
this
is
where
we're
looking
at
the
zoning
text.
E
But
in
order
to
actually
make
it
come
to
life,
they
will
have
to
be
filling
out
documents
saying
what
they
are
doing
or
part
of
their
approval
process.
So
then,
so
so
what
those
documents
look
like
and
how
they're
tracking
are
you
helping
child
care?
Are
you
all
these
different
things
we
will
be?
We
have
agreed
to?
That
is
a
massive
conversation
about
the
checklist
and
how
they're
going
to
be
dealing
with
those
and
how
they're
going
to
be
looked
at
assessed,
and
so
this
working
session
we'll
talk
with
some
of
the
zoning.
E
The
bones,
if
you
will
of
what
is
and
is
not
gonna,
be
in
there
so
far,
we've
agreed
on
majority
of
what
should
be
in
there,
including
definitions,
preamble
things
like
that
how
it
gets
done
those
documents
we
probably
won't
be
able
to
get
to
just
today,
but
that
does
involve
and
has
involved
a
community
from
day
one
and
those
checklists.
They
are
massive
when.
E
To
I
think
what's
really
important
is
also
having
continued
working
sessions
just
about
the
documents
publicly
and
and
and
inclusively
and
then
in
terms
of
the
historical,
the
how
this
zoning
amendment
does
account
for
the
historical
ways
in
which
people
have
been
redline
discriminated
against.
I
will
probably
turn
this
over
to
Tim,
but
I
think
that's
where
we're
trying
to
get
within
the
historical
exclusion
zones
and
the
definition,
but
that's
my
opinion.
I'll
turn
it
over
to
to
Tim
Davis
and
then
councillor,
Bach
I
believe
also
had
some
response.
I
System
Davis
from
the
Department
Neighborhood
Development
in
support
of
and
following
on
councillor
Mejias
question
about
looking
at
patterns
of
segregation
in
redlining.
Yes,
one
of
the
goals
will
be.
This
would
be
something
that
would
be
developed
between
D
and
D,
and
B.
Pda
research
is
to
look
at
areas
of
historic
exclusion
of
protected
classes,
and
so
that
there
are
there's.
I
We
don't
necessarily
want
to
set
up
a
system
where
we're
creating
new
red
lines,
but
we
do
want
to
have
a
tool
that
really
shows
us
what
areas
of
the
city
have
been
areas
of
historic
exclusion
so
that
we
can
working
with
developers
say
okay,
so
your
development
is
in
this
kind
of
area.
What
are
the
important
features
that
you're
going
to
do
to
try
to
make
this
neighborhood
more
diverse,
and
the
same
is
true,
so
kind
of
on
the
opposite.
I
Side
of
the
coin
is
looking
at
a
displacement,
risk
and
access
that
which
is
another
tool
that
we'll
be
developing
and,
in
some
ways,
are
already
beginning
that
process
and,
as
some
of
the
councillors
are
aware,
there's
a
number
of
people
and
academics
are
working
on
similar
processes
and
thoughts.
That
will
be
following
up
on
to
create
a
tool,
so
we
can
also
identify
those
areas
to
use
as
a
companion
with
the
development
assessment
so
that
we
can
get
a
better
sense
of
what's
happening:
development
by
development.
Thank
you.
I.
C
E
It
I'm
talking
to
nobody
I
was
saying
I.
Think
I
want
to
have
counts,
to
give
counts,
are
bought
the
opportunity
to
respond
to
your
first
question
counselor
here
and
then,
if
you
have
a
follow-up
for
councillor
now,
you're
promoted
to
him
or
demoted
depending
on
how
you
seem
to
come
to
Tim,
then
we'll
go
back
between
that
exchange.
Okay,
councillor
Bock.
A
It
is
because
it's
a
phrase:
that's
in
the
original
1968
Fair
Housing
Act
that
actually
is
supposed
to
obligate
the
government
to
do
more
than
it's,
not
just
that,
because
the
Fair
Housing
Act,
you
can
no
longer
redline
and
discriminate,
and
so
you
need
to
prove
you
aren't
discriminating
against
people.
It's
that
you
actually
have
a
duty
to
affirmatively,
further
fair
housing,
which
is
to
like
proactively
try
to
counter
these
segregating
trends.
A
It
goes
all
the
way
back
to
the
1968
law
and
that's
why
I
think
it's
worth
using,
even
though
you're
right
that
also
we
need--we
talking
about
this
work
that
are
plain
language
and
make
people
understand
that
it's
about.
You
know
that
it's
about
desegregating,
the
city
and
giving
everybody
access
to
all
parts
of
the
city,
so
I
just
want
to
enter
that
comment
and
then
just
also
say
that
my
office
has
been
doing
a
bunch
of
work
and
I'll
shout
out
Emily
brown.
A
My
policy
director
just
think
like
also
thinking
a
bit
about,
what's
the
kind
of
way
that
you
think
from
a
data
analysis
perspective
about
both
these
historical
exclusion
zones
and
the
displacement
risk
on
risk
areas
and
I
I
took
a
lot
of
in
the
weeds
detail
that
out
of
my
memo,
because
it's
gonna
be
like
20
pages
instead
of
nine,
but
looking
forward
to
continuing
to
collaborate
on
those
fronts
and
with
DNG
and
EPA
and
all
the
counselors.
So
thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you.
F
F
Ask
anyways
is
that
you
know
I
would
look
at
the
Seaport
and
I
look
at
downtown
and
look
at
how
the
patterns
are
and
even
looking
at
Dorchester
there's
certain
parts
of
George
Esther
that
I
can't
even
put
a
toe
in,
because
I
can't
even
afford
to
even
consider
them
living
there
ever
so,
as
you
all
are
thinking
about
this
amendment
in
in
planning.
Are
we
looking
at
also
how
affordable
things
are?
Certainly
neighborhoods
is
that
I
may
have
missed
that
part.
Yes,.
I
F
Because
will
you
live
dictates
what,
where
you
might
go
to
school
and
I?
Think
that
there's
there's
an
intersection
here
around
some
of
the
patterns
that
we're
seeing
in
higher
higher
performing
schools
and
not
so
much
so
so
I
just
think
that
those
things
need
to
be
kind
of
lifted
up
in
this
process.
And
then
the
last
thing-
and
this
is
more
of
a
these-
things-
have
already
happened
to
people
who
have
been
displaced.
F
There
are
a
lot
of
people
who
are
living
in
Brockton
and
stokin
and
Randolph,
because
but
they're
still
working
in
Boston
and
having
to
travel
here
and
I
think
that
it's
as
a
result
of
not
furthering
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
practices,
and
it's
not
about
going
back
and
restoring
the
right.
You
know
in
writing
around
it's
just
really
about
making
sure
that
we
understand
the
financial
impact
that
we
have
made,
that
we
have
made
on
others
who
can't
live
here
anymore,
but
still
have
to
work
here.
F
I
just
want
to
just
throw
that
out
because,
as
I
think
about
this
work,
if
it's,
how
do
we
resolve
this
in
a
way
that
prevents
that
from
happening
again?
That's
it
just
wanted
to
just
babbled
on
some
more
just
cuz
I
like
to
battle,
but
thank
you.
I
will
just
yield
the
rest
of
my
time
and
that's
it
and.
E
Now
we
can't
hear
you
not
a
problem
counselor
over
here.
I
think
your
your
points
are
valid
and
also
our
guidepost
scalp
guidepost.
Excuse
me
for
how
this
will
really
be
real
to
most
people
in
Boston,
so
I
think
you
all
you've
done
is
give
us
a
checklist
of
things
that
you
need
to
see
accounted
for
in
an
amendment
that
you
would
support.
E
That's
great,
so
thank
you
at
this
time.
I
wanted
to
so
we've
discussed
kind
of
in
groups.
The
major
differences
I
would
say.
The
biggest
difference
between
the
proposed
amendment
and
the
one
I
proposed
in
the
one
that'd
be
PDA
is
also
proposing
is
how
we
approach
the
zoning
code
when
it
comes
to
PDAs,
and
we
were
going
to
talk
about
that
shortly.
E
The
biggest
difference
is
I
put
the
language
in
to
the
PDA
about
what
I
think
should
be
the
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
duties
when
we're
looking
at
the
pds
are
planning
development
areas
and
the
BPA's
major
difference.
Is
they
don't
I?
Don't
think
disagree
with
that
analysis,
but
they
put
it
in
documents
and
how
to
like
the
implementation
so
checklist
of
which
we
would
be
looking
at
for
the
PDA
I
kind
of
stand,
pretty
firm
and
I
want
it
in
the
law
and
not
only
in
supplement
subsequent
documents.
That's
the
major
difference.
E
I
also
think
it's
very
important
that
our
law,
the
zoning
law,
also
account
for
and
require
an
equity
lens.
When
we're
talking
about
mitigation,
too
many
developers
come
in
to
communities
and
shell
out
hundreds
thousands,
sometimes
millions
of
dollars
in
mitigation,
often
defined
by
a
small
group
of
people
in
the
IAG,
and
there
seems
to
be
no
equity
analysis
for
that
money.
So
it's
twofold
for
why
I
think
mitigation
and
pdas
need
to
have
the
specific
equity
lens
in
the
zoning
code
and
I.
E
Q
Q
Zoning
all
the
time
plan
development
area
essentially
says
that
if
you
have
a
site,
that's
one
acre
larger
in
some
parts
of
the
city,
not
all
parts
of
the
city,
but
but
in
each
neighborhood
there
are
specific
areas
where
plan
development
area
designation
is
allowed.
If
you've
got
an
a
one
acre
site.
Q
We
can
set
aside
the
underlying
zoning
because
there's
not
very
many
one
acre
sites
available
on
the
city
anymore
and
we
think
there's
an
opportunity
there
to
do
development
in
a
different
way
that
allows
us
to
get
additional
inclusionary
development
units,
additional
public
amenities
like
open
space,
improvements
to
the
public
realm,
the
streets
and
sidewalks.
Essentially,
it's
sort
of
sets
aside
the
underlying
zoning
and
allows
us
to
work
as
a
community
and
as
a
city
to
think
of.
What's
them.
Q
What's
the
best
kind
of
development
we
can
get
out
of
this,
and
it
does
also
allow
for
developers
to
to
build,
build
higher
and
denser,
and
it's
how
the
city
is
then
able
to.
You
know,
share
in
that
additional
value
so
that
we
get
these
public
benefits
like
deeper
inclusionary
development
anticipation,
but
with
each
neighborhood
plan,
development
areas
have
different
sets
of
parameters,
we've
been
restricting
it.
You
know,
by
height,
in
some
neighborhoods
or
by
height
and
FA
are
or
sometimes
just
by
FA
are
sometimes
by
use.
Q
So
it
really
tough
to
be
super
specific
about
all
PDAs
everywhere,
without
some
sort
of
planning
document
that
goes
along
with
it
and
I
think
tailoring
the
requirements
of
plan
development
areas
through
the
lens
of
of
you
know
the
availability
of
affordable
housing
in
a
particular
neighborhood.
You
know
housing
costs,
the
you
know
the
there
they'll
have
differential
rates
of
risk
for
displacement
as
well
as
historic
exclusion.
Q
So
I
I
absolutely
agree
that
that
there
are
some
things
that
you
know
we
can
be
very
specific
about
in
PDAs,
but
I
think
it
needs
to
be
done
through
the
through
the
lens
of
a
planning
context
neighborhood
by
neighborhood
basis.
We
can't
sort
of
broad
broad
brush
the
whole
whole
city
with
the
same
set
of
requirements,
but
glad
to
you
know
glad
to
open
up
to
my
colleagues
because
they
may
have
additional
thoughts
on
that
I.
E
They
want
to
know
what
the
vote
ability
will
be,
how
much
how
big
they
can
go,
how
small
they
can
go.
They
want
to
know
the
parameter
because
economies
change
administration's
change,
but
they
want
they
want
that
clarity,
so
so
that
is
why
I
feel
part
of
the
job
of
this
zoning
code
should
require
that
not
only
clarity
about
you
know,
density
and
height,
but
also
measures
for
assessing
compliance
with
fair
housing
and
amend
you
know
and
requiring
them
to
do
that.
E
This
is
by
virtue
of
any
Planning
Department
any
planning
you're,
just
not
going
to
be
there
on
the
day
to
day
basis
with
this
right.
Sometimes
some
of
you
won't
even
be
working
for
the
state
at
the
time.
The
project
is
over
with
right,
I
mean
well.
Some
of
you
will
never
leave,
but
that's
a
good
thing,
love
and
dedication,
whatever
you
want
to
call
it,
but
but
in
many
cases
I
want
to
see
the
zoning
code
reflect
that
that
for
PDAs
there's
an
equal
dedication
to
this
type
of
analysis.
E
P
So
totally
understand
that
councillor
edwards
and
I
think
I
think
we
can
work
on
the
specific
language
you
know
I'd
be
here
what
you're
saying
on
wanting
to
put
in
the
PDA
language
we
actually
put
in
our
cover
letter
to
you
or
cover
memo
to
you.
You
know:
we've
been
talking
about
a
reporting
mechanism
for
PDAs,
which
I'm
multi-phased,
as
Brian
mentioned.
You
know,
PDA
is
applied
to
sites
that
are
one-acre
above
not
all
over
the
city,
but
in
parts
of
the
city,
some
of
them
only
have
one
project.
They
only
have
one
building.
P
Some
of
them
are
really
really
huge
and
they
have
quality
projects,
multi-phase
projects,
and
so
you
know
we
are
very
we're
looking
forward
to
having
some
sort
of
reporting
mechanism
in
PDAs,
because
I
think
that's
important
for
for
the
public.
It's
important
for
us,
it's
important
for
the
developer
and
you
know
to
make
sure
that
we're
keeping
their
commitments
to
board
so
some
sort
of
reporting
mechanism
we're
not
there
yet
because
we're
literally
just
working
through
these
documents,
but
a
reporting
mechanism
is
something
that
we
would
definitely
be
looking
at.
P
P
E
A
P
Sorry
so
I
think
I.
Think,
though
those
are,
those
are
great
goals.
We've
spoken
about
about
them
internally,
I
think
you
know
where
they
belong.
Do
they
belong
in
a
PDA?
You
know
in
a
zoning
code
or
in
a
separate
policy
document,
so
you
know
full
transparency
ability
to
respond
to
comments
before
we
go.
Take
it.
A
Isn't
just
you
know,
Oh
for
a
PDA.
We
also
do
this
assessment,
but
it's
a
little
more
prescriptive
about
and,
like
you
know,
we're
really
you're
really
gonna
like
follow
up
with.
Like
your
eyes,
counselor
I'm,
saying
part
of
your
mitigation
package
is
related
to
these
fair
housing
purposes
and
I
mean
and
I
want
and
folks
can
see
in
my
draft
that
I
think
they're
I
mean
I,
suggested
a
mechanism
for
that
kind
of
interagency
and
Fair
Housing
Committee
and
which
was
modeled
on
the
Green
Building
Committee.
That's
not
something
that
exists
today.
A
To
kind
of
you
know,
help
gut
check
those
types
of
plans
and
make
some
kind
of
recognition
to
the
board.
Certainly
I'm
flexible
again
on
the
scaffolding
of
that.
But
I
do
think
that
PDAs
are
where
we
have.
When
we
talk
about
the
opportunity
to
experiment,
further
fair
housing
to
do
something
proactive
there,
whereas
the
city
we
have
some
of
the
greatest
opportunities,
so
I
think
I
think
that's
something
we
should
try
to.
We
should
try
to
get
to
an
agreement
on.
C
E
That
again,
I
would
summarize
not
my
language
but
the
goals
of
the
language
I
put
in
one
that,
in
the
statement
of
purpose
section,
almost
like
a
preamble
that
we
require
the
development
review
process
includes
meaningful
actions.
The
second
part-
and
this
is
be
an
80,
a
5
again
not
going
to
all
the
language
but
requiring
the
applicants
seeking
article
80
approval
and
the
BPD
a
to
submit
an
agreement
showing
compliance
with
fair
housing
laws
and
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
provisions
in
section
8
eb-3.
E
Let's
see
on
the
ATC
four
ensures
that
the
approval
process
for
the
PDA
includes
a
decision
that
the
plan
complies
with,
facilitates
and
advances,
fair
housing
goals
and
then
I'm
going
to
find
where
the
mitigation
I
think
it's
on
I
also
put
in
a
requirement
that
an
ATC
five
but
there's
a
certification
of
their
housing
from
city,
a
disease
that
you,
the
city,
may
designate
so
DND,
fair
housing.
So
on
and
so
forth
can
look
at
it
and
it's
it
may
seem
overly
partisan,
but
I'll
just
remind
the
folks.
E
Pdas
again
are
setting
their
own
internal
zoning.
So
this
is
why
we
need
to
be
I.
Think
particularly
aggressive
in
that
moment,
and
PDAs
could
sometimes
take
a
year
or
more
to
approve
an
article
or
section
8
87
ensure
that
the
PDA
plan
is
is
only
approved
if
it
complies
with
the
city's
obligations.
So
I
think
it's
I'm
trying
to
really
limit
or
look
at
the
approval
process
being
directly
connected
and
then
I
wanted
to
say
it's
mitigation
I
put
in
article.
E
Eighty
be
three
also
requiring
that
there
be
an
analysis
of
the
mitigation
and
benefits
public
benefits
that
are
put
through
and
making
sure
that's,
equitable
and
again
for
me,
because
PDAs
are
zoning
within
zoning
I'm,
just
literally
the
same
things
that
we
felt
important
for
the
entire
zoning
code.
I
want
to
also
see
replicated
in
PDAs
what
I
actually
think
this
is
an
and
not
an
or
its.
E
Already
discuss
and
I
think
it's
great
the
small
project
reviews
and
also
the
utilities,
review
and
small
business
which
I
wonder
if
it
makes
sense
to
maybe
agree
to
a
definition
of
small
business
for
purposes
of
this
act
and
zoning
I
100%
think
their
displacement
should
be
analyzed.
The
other
major
crux
are
a
huge
difference,
is
I
have
a
whole
section
dedicated
to
East
Boston,
not
just
because
I
live
there.
E
Think
the
reason
why
is
because
when
we
first
introduced
this,
this
was
in
April
of
2019
and
we
were
not
sure
how
or
when
the
approval
for
Suffolk
would
happen.
So
we
thought
that
it
would
have
to
be.
You
know
if
you
approved
it
right
without
this,
then
it
would
only
apply
retroactively,
Lee
terms
of
amendments
and
that's
what
we
were
trending
do.
E
E
Thank
you
me
appreciate
that.
So
you
know.
Ideally,
we
get
full-on
agreement
to
certain
of
our
compromise,
understandings
and
there's
certain
documents
that
the
developer
will
have
to
commit
to
for
to
affirmatively
further
fair
housing,
and
if
that
can
happen
as
the
process,
then
I
think
that
that
prevents
an
entire
section
just
dedicated
to
one
neighborhood
and
I
understand
why
that
looks
awkward,
and
you
know,
every
single
one
of
us
represents
a
neighborhood
that
we
Kenzi
is
like.
Why
does
these
Boston
so
she
realizes,
but
that
was
why
that
was
my.
E
Those
are
the
major
cruxes
and
differences
I
find
I
was
going
to
turn
over
to
our
C
Sheila's
raised
her
hand,
and
then
I
was
going
to
turn
over
to
some
folks
in
the
who
are
also
in
the
audience.
Who
may
have
questions,
suggestions
or
things
silly
consider
I,
don't
think
it
makes
sense
to
go
into
the
documents
for
assessment
tools
right
now,
because
I
just
think
that
that's
gonna
require
another
working
session.
H
Dealer,
yes,
so
thank
you.
It's
been
a
good
conversation
so
far,
I
just
before
we
leave
the
PDA
section
and
I
think
that
the
administration
is
certainly
open
to
going
back
and
looking
and
editing
and
finding
common
ground
the
BP
DA's
PDA
language
I.
Just
personally
really
liked
it
was
clear.
I
think
it
was
it
was.
It
was
bordering
on
inspirational.
H
H
Sure
in
a
PDA,
the
proponents
shall
engage
in
a
process
that
takes
into
consideration
the
city's
goals,
to
affirmatively
further
fair
housing
by
providing
thoughtful
analysis
of
direct
and
potential
indirect
displacement
and
then
goes
on,
but
it
just
it
calls
out.
You
know
what
what
we
hope
to
achieve
you
know
creating
are
contributing
to
an
integrated
and
inclusive
neighborhood
by
providing
deeper
residential
and
commercial
affordability
and
diversity
of
housing
types
you
know
to
accommodate
families,
I
just
think
it's
it.
Anyone
picking
it
up
would
would
be
able
to
sort
of
read
it
and
anyways
I.
E
Q
Also
recognizing
you
know
that
that
where
they
do
over
achieve,
you
know
beyond
you
know
what
would
otherwise
be
required.
You
know
we
need
to.
We
need
to
value
that
and
appreciate
it.
So
it's
it's
sort
of
giving
direction
that
you
can't
come
in.
Just
you
know
with
the
bare
minimum.
We're
gonna
expect
a
lot
more.
Q
E
U
E
Appreciate
that
I
think
I
think
that's
a
absolute
conversation
for
working
dedicated
to
how
it
gets
done
and
who's
going
to
enforce
it.
I
know.
Part
of
that
conversation
is
whether
we
should
have
an
outside
auditor
or
some
sort
of
their
client
fair.
Someone
has
suggested
a
fair,
fair
housing
compliance
kind
of
on
it.
Sorry,
not
necessarily
an
auditor,
but
someone
who
does
pulls
back
and
does
an
analysis,
but
I
think
that
that
that
has
directly
connected
to
the
documents
and
assessment
tools
were
going
to
be
creating
Lincoln
and
then
I
see
Angela
Williams.
Yes,.
V
First
of
all,
I
just
want
to
echo
some
of
what
I
mean,
instead
of
ready
by
just
recognizing
where
we
are
and
certainly
spend
a
long
time
coming.
That
we
are
here
is
I
think
is
a
really
a
big
victory
for
the
city
of
Boston.
To
be
quite
frank,
when
I
recognize
so
many
people
who
kind
of
got
us
to
this
place,
obviously
I'm
constant
at
words
and
but
also
for
the
for
the
administration
for
taking
this
step.
V
There's
been
dialogue
around
around
you
know
amendment
having
fear
fear
housing
to
zoning
for
a
period
of
time,
and
you
know
somewhere
along
the
line
the
decision
had
to
have
been
made
at
this
met.
You
know
this
is
we
can
all
coalesce
around
this
idea,
so
I
want
to
recognize
the
this
city
around.
That
I
also
want
to
say
that
this
is
ver
ver
encouraging
for
the
members
of
the
update,
primitively
portland
care
of
the
media
advisory
committee.
V
V
Think
DND
in
particular,
is
one
of
those
agencies
I
get
they
get
beat
up.
A
lot
beat
up
a
lot
and
in
in
the
community,
around
processes
like
these,
but
I.
Think
she'll
has
been
committed
to
this
for
a
long
time.
So
I
I
want
to
recognize
your
Sheila
for
hanging
in
there
and
stand
with
us
throughout
this
process,
but
I
thank
thank
everyone
for
all
the
hard
work
they've
done
around
us
really
appreciate
it.
F
Nadine
has
address
one
of
my
concerns,
which
has
to
do
with
the
implementation,
the
all
the
sides
and
the
enforcement
of
everything
that's
being
talked
about
today.
The
tools
which
is
bloody,
awesome
Lincoln,
has
framed
it
well,
a
lot
of
work
and
thought
gone
gone
into
this
piece
of
citation
energy
so
on
and
so
forth.
But
without
you
know,
because
those
additional
you
know
to
the
implementation
to
oversight
and
enforcement,
it
doesn't
go
very
far
so
for
that
Thank
You
Nadine,
for
bringing
that
up.
F
I
have
another
question
of
concern,
as
it
relates
to
our
housing
individuals
being
able
to
get
the
pathway
to
equity,
clip
effect,
I
haven't
heard
anyone
talk
about
that
and
flip
effect
becomes
very
important
when
someone
has
a
unit
that
may
be
whether
it's
section,
8
or
and
I'm
having
a
senior
moment
right
this
minute,
because
the
language
is
escaping
me
in
terms
of
the
unit
being
being
income
restricted.
F
If
a
person
is
going
to
school,
it
has
a
job
and
they're
going
to
be
promoted
or,
yes,
they
pay
raise,
increase
and
they're
getting
subsidy.
The
cliff
effect
have
a
way
of
either
holding
them
hostage
where
they
can't
economically
improve
themselves,
or
should
they
try
to
do
so,
it
has
an
adverse
effect
on
them.
F
So
I'd,
like
to
know,
has,
has
a
fitted
sort
of
a
pilot
program
to
actually
deep
dive
into
this,
to
see
how
we
can
actually
out
of
a
resident
for
point
A
to
point
B
so
that
they
can
become
economically
independent
without
having
to
lose
all
the
benefits.
One
time.
F
E
E
H
So
no
I
think
you're
raising
a
really
good
point,
and
you
know
I've
heard
this
a
lot
too
over
the
years
that
as
people
get
job
promotions
or
or
you
know,
find
they're
making
more
money
than
the
more
of
their
money
gets
paid
into,
or
they
become
ineligible
further
for
their
section,
eight
or
their
or
their
unit
and
is,
if
skate
still
on
or
because
I
think
you
know,
the
BHA
is
not
a
moving
to
work
agency.
But
there
are.
H
There
have
been
programs
in
other
cities
and
towns
where,
if
you
make
additional
money
instead
of
paying
that
additional
money
into
the
housing
authority
that
that
money
is
safe
for
you,
so
you
can
further
education
or
buy
a
home,
etc.
So
I
think
you
raise
a
really
good
point
and
we
could
certainly
look
at
that
and
I.
Don't
know
if
Kate's
Dillon
I
know
there's
a
budget
meeting
as
well,
but
I'd
be
glad
to
follow
up.
R
F
So
I
was
I
was
raising
my
hand
to
let
you
know
that
I
was
back
in
the
in
the
zoo
and
then
I'm
listening
and
I
do
have
a
question,
or
maybe
some
clarity
around
some
of
the
commercial
small
business
I
meant
an
amendment
conversation
I'm,
just
wondering
what
role
has
you
know,
cheese
barrels
and
his
people
have
played
in
in
that
development
process.
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
folks
right
now,
I'm
as
a
result
of
Colgate.
F
You
know,
they're
paying
like
four
or
five
thousand
dollars
for
rent
in
certain
spaces
that
they
haven't
been
able
to
use.
Is
there
a
way
that
we
can
do
a
income,
adjusted
type
of
weight
for
small
businesses
to
be
able
to
rent
and
all
our
own
space
based
on
an
income,
adjusted
type
of
environment
for
small
businesses?
I'm,
not
sure
if
that's
something
that
is
feasible
or
is
worth
looking
into,
considering
about
making
any.
E
Absolutely
worth
looking
into
I,
don't
know
that
we
can
do
it
in
this
zoning.
Amendment
I
firmly
believe
and
know
that
a
lot
of
the
biggest
issues
is
around
rights,
that
commercial
tenants
have
versus
residential
tenants
and
they're
just
radically
different
under
the
law.
One
of
the
things
I
know
the
city
had
worked
on
in
small
business,
with
with
chief
barrows,
was
making
sure
that
commercial
entities
got
on
long
term
leases
through
a
study
of
many
of
the
immigrant
on
small
businesses.
E
They
found
that
many
of
them
have
month-to-month
leases,
which
is
what
is
killing
them
now,
because
that
you
know
their
lease
ends
at
the
end
of
the
month
and
if
they
haven't
paid,
they
basically
can
be
evicted,
so
it
was
putting
on
them
on
long
term
leases
and
then
I
know
a
negotiation
point
for
this.
Zoning
amendment
is
when
new
development
comes
in,
to
make
them
actually
consider
small
businesses
and
their
displacement
and
how
their
their
business
is
going
to
help
or
not.
I
think
that's
really
important
when
we're
talking
about.
E
Oh,
you
want
a
commercial
space
in
the
bottom.
Who
would
use
it
who
lives
there?
Are
you
looking
to
local
businesses
to
move
in
there?
First
I
mean
no
not
to
knock
Whole,
Foods
or
anything,
but
not
everyone
finds
that
to
be
an
accessible
grocery
store,
mm-hmm
right,
so
that
kind
of
analysis
I,
think
this.
F
Because
I
would
like
to
say
that
the
whole
food
used
to
be
there
a
tornado,
and
you
know
they
transitioned
it
to
Whole,
Foods
and
I.
Think
that
as
an
amendment,
we
need
to
look
at
the
cultural
makeup
of
a
neighborhood
and
and
seeing
if
we're
going
to
change
anything
that
makes
sure
that
it
doesn't
impact
the
cultural
fabric
of
neighborhoods.
I
think
is
something
that
I
would
like
to
see
in
that
amendment,
at
least
for
commercial
as
something
that
I
would
like
advocate
for
and
then
the
other.
F
The
other
piece
is
I'm,
always
going
back
to
accountability,
I'm
wondering
whether
or
not
this
amendment
and
if
there's
any
ways
for
us
to
kind
of,
have
checks
and
balances
where
there's
some,
how
we're
gonna
manage
the
execution
of
this?
Will
there
be
some
system
in
place
for
accountability,
that
there
is
there
like
a
small
civilian
review
board
like
how
are
we
going
to
how
we're
gonna,
how
am
I
gonna
hold
us
accountable,
I
guess,
because
all
of
these
things
are
really
great.
F
A
Thank
you
so
much
councillor,
Edwards
and
and
I'll
say
I'm
supposed
to
get
out
of
the
habit
for
speaking
for
the
Boston
Housing
Authority,
but
they
do
indeed
have
some
programs
I
used
to
run
one
of
them
that
is
involved
in
helping
folks
who
start
to
make
more
money,
stay
in
their
units
and
save
up
money
for
buying
a
house
or
other
kind
of
major
life
moves
and
there's
also
some
ways
excluding
income.
But
it's
there
are
federal
limitations
that
do
create
those
cliff
effects.
A
Suddenly
that
housing,
yeah
isn't
an
option
for
you
anymore
and
that's
I.
Think
it
is
it's.
It's
a
limitation
on
that,
as
opposed
to
the
kind
of
federally
back
voters
and
public
housing
units,
and
so
thinking
about
what
are
the
ways
that
developers
could
provide
some
more
flexibility
for
people
to
move
within
a
range
of
income.
While
staying
in
that
housing
would
be
like
a
potential
way
of
thinking
about
an
option
for
fair
housing,
mitigation
and
I'll.
Just
say
for
people
this
is
in
the
in
the
vein
of
coming
attractions
because
to
councilor
Edwards.
A
This
point:
we're
not
really
doing
this
today,
but
I
I,
put
into
my
memo
a
sort
of
long
list
of
potential
afff
H
intervention
options
precisely
and
I
think
it
connects
to
the
zoning,
because
we
have
to
have
a
place
of
zoning.
That
says
you
know,
there's
gonna
be
a
process
by
which
you
not
just
get
analyzed
but
sign
up
to
do
some
things
that
will
help
address
fair
housing
in
the
City
of
Austin
and
then
you're
held
accountable
for
those
and
I.
Think
talking
about
what
that
menu
of
options
looks
like
and
who
evaluates.
A
What's
reasonable
for
a
project
is
all
a
part
and
parcel
of
what
we
have
to
talk
about
to
get
to
circle.
Back
on
that
conversation
that
councillor
Edwards
and
the
VP,
DA
and
I
were
having
before
about
about
kind
of.
What's
the
other
shoe
dropping
with
a
PDA,
and
how
do?
How
do
we
hold
that
accountability
but
excited
to
excited
to
be
having
those
conversations
going
forward
and
the
one
other
piece
I
know
advocates.
I
mentioned
the
search
outside
piece,
I'm,
also
interested
in
the
inside
piece,
in
kind
of
like
hiring
capacity
inside
the
BPD.
A
A
I
know
that
there
was
just
this
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion.
Director
position
listed
I
think
that
you
need
you
need
somebody
Tim
used
to
be
the
housing
policy
manager
at
the
beef
da
I.
Think
you
need
somebody
who's,
managing
a
fair
housing,
a
zoning
aspect
in
the
BPD,
a
who's
who
has
expertise
in
fair
housing,
so
I
think
those
are
also
complimentary
conversations
that
we
should
be
having
going
forward
that
aren't
about
what's
what's
written
in
the
zoning
code,
thanks
so
much
now
sirens
so.
E
F
C
T
Righty,
thank
you
so
much.
That
was
my
main
question
today,
I'm
looking
forward
to
continuing
this
there's
so
much
to
to
sort
out
and
learn.
Thank
you
again,
councillor
Edwards
and
thank
you
to
the
administration
for
your
work
and
for
putting
forth
some
new
language
I'm,
really
anxious
to
kind
of
get
into
that
language
and
see.
You
know
how
all
of
this
makes
sense
and
plays
into
something
good
moving
forward.
So
thank
you
again,
a.
E
Little
over
two
hours,
you
did
start
a
little
late,
we're
probably
actually
zeroing
in
on
the
two
hours
I
know
we
had
technical
difficulties
at
first
with
our
language.
I
will
note
that
our
interpreter
has
been
recording
Spanish
interpretation
of
this
entire
conversation,
so
that
will
be
available
for
some
reason.
We
couldn't
get
the
app
to
work
today
so
that
folks
could
be
watching
our
mouths.
Moving
and
and
hearing
Spanish
come
out,
but
I
want
to
say
thank
you
again
to
the
administration.
E
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
task
force
and
and
all
the
members
and
the
amazing
amount
of
work
they
put
through
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
my
colleagues,
councillor
Bach.
Thank
you
so
much
it's
it's!
It's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
work
and
I'm,
just
very
happy
for
the
commitment
to
do
it
and
again
confirming
we're
going
to
get
this
done
as
a
city
of
Boston,
we're
going
to
make
history
and
we're
gonna
get
this
done,
I'm
hoping
before
September,
which
means
I'm
willing
to
schedule
a
second
working
session.
E
In
the
meantime,
following
open
meeting
rules,
I
can
talk
to
the
administration
directly.
Kenzi
can
talk
to
administration
directly
and
making
sure
that
we're
getting
to
compromise
language
that
gets
us
towards
the
ultimate
goal,
right
of
equity
and
planning.
So
I
would
ask
my
client
or
client
uses
only
back
to
being
legal
services
attorney.
I
would
ask
if
my
colleagues
have
any
closing
remarks
and
then,
if,
after
that,
we'll
go
ahead
and
close
out
the
working
session
go
an
order
of
arrival,
so
it
counts
a
buck.
A
That's
really
good
in
the
in
the
letter
in
the
zoning
and
that
also
can
kind
of
live
and
breathe
in
our
city
in
a
in
a
way
that,
in
a
way
that
changes
things
and
when
I
think
about
when
I
think
about
like
what
could
we
do
like
those
of
us
on
the
council,
those
of
us
working
in
administration
folks
are
sitting
in
advocate
seats
like
what
could
we
do?
That
would
really
have
changed
the
city
of
Boston
fifty
years
from
now,
when
we're
all
doing
other
things
and
sitting
in
our
rocking
chairs.
A
We
hope
you
know
desegregating
the
city
in
a
serious
way
like
making
it
possible
for
people
to
live
where
they
want
to
live
and,
and
especially
like
and
not
be
discriminated
on,
the
basis
of
being
in
a
protected
class,
that's
race
or
income
or
family,
size
or
disability.
Like
that
to
me
and
like
we
throw
around
the
word,
structural
change
a
lot,
but
that's
like
the
community's
really
structure
of
our
lives.
So
to
me
this
is.
A
E
F
E
T
Here
I'm
sorry
what
councillor
Mejia
said:
I
mentioned
you
and
our
colleagues
and
the
administration,
but
really
the
advocates,
the
the
residents
that
neighborhood
associations,
particularly
in
my
district,
like
you
know,
I,
am
really
blessed
that
we
have
so
much
activism
in
our
district
and
particularly
now.
This
is
how
we're
gonna
get
this
work
done.
So
thank
you
guys
for
being
at
the
table
shout
out
to
Angela
heard
you
on
the
call
earlier.
So.
Thank
you
again,
madam
chair.
Looking
forward
to
continuing
the
conversation.
E
Thank
you
guys
so
much
with
that
I
want
to
say.
Thank
you
again.
I
will
be
setting
up
a
second
working
session
and
we'll
be
working
in
between
those
sessions.
To
make
sure
that
would
represent
is
again
pushing
the
ball
forward,
so
everyone
else
I
called
on
all
my
colleagues
I
want
to
say
thank
you
and
have
a
good
day
with
that.
This
working
session
is
over
bye,
bye,
Wow.
