We
made
part
of
the
record
and
available
to
all
counselors
docket
0422
will
require
public
bodies
to
provide
a
remote
participation
option
for
all
of
its
public
hearings
in
meetings,
except
for
executive
sessions,
as
allowed
under
the
open
meeting
law.
This
ordinance
requires
that
the
notice
of
public
meetings
and
hearings
be
posted
at
least
seven
days
prior
to
the
meeting
date,
unless
there
is
an
emergency
as
defined
as
section
1-8.1.
A
The
proposal
provides
standards
for
the
publication
of
meeting
agendas
and
minutes
online
requires
video
and
audio
recordings
of
all
open
sessions
of
a
public
body.
The
purpose
of
this
proposal
is
to
increase
access
and
participation
in
the
meetings
of
public
bodies
joining
us
today
from
the
administration
are
chief
david.
A
A
We
have
also
the
organization's
boston
center
for
independent
living.
Jim
weiss
student,
immigrant
movement,
sabrina
barrosa
and
the
aclu
kate
crocker
will
be
joining
us
also
in
to
discuss
this
this
ordinance
again.
This
is
an
ordinance
that
would
require
the
city
of
boston
to
basically
provide
remote
participation
options
for
all
of
its
public
hearings
and
meetings.
B
C
Sorry
about
that,
you
think
I
would
know
by
now.
First
off,
I'm
very
jealous
that
our
colleague
concert
large
julia
mejia
is
in
the
dr.
We
wish
her
well
and
please
send
our
love
to
our
our
neighbors
in
dr
and
our
dear
friends
and
family
members,
but
I
wanted
to
also
pop
on
this
hearing
just
to
underscore
my
support.
C
I
fought
hard
to
make
sure
that
the
governor's
temporary
extension
of
these
powers
would
continue.
They
have.
They
will
far
outweigh
my
time
in
office
and
that's
a
very,
very
good
thing,
but
I
just
wholeheartedly
endorse
the
plan
and
by
the
chair,
the
council
brain
by
council
mejia,
to
allow
this.
We
have
seen
unprecedented
civic
engagement
over
the
last
16
months.
C
We've
also
been
very
intentional
in
terms
of
not
only
embracing
technology
but
embracing
language
access
as
well
to
make
sure
that
everyone
who's
participating
and
wants
to
participate
can
do
so
now
to
be
clear,
we're
not
saying
that
we
should
all
be
remote
at
all
times.
I
for
one
will
look
forward
to
holding
hearings
in
the
chamber,
but
allowing
interactive
both
folks
to
to
testify
in
person
by
by
leaving
written
comment
or
by
by
zooming
in
as
we've
been
able
to
do
is
the
right
approach.
C
A
Thank
you
so
much
just
a
quick
remarks
from
my
from
me
one.
I
not
only
do
look
forward
to
having
in-person
meetings
and
hearings,
but
I
also
know
that
we
actually
can
be
more
efficient
and
have
a
couple
going
on.
At
the
same
time,
if
we
had
one
remote
and
one
in
person,
we
could
do
actually
a
lot
more
as
a
city
council.
A
That's
just
selfishly
thinking
about
you
know
what
we
could
get
done
on
our
plate,
but
also
the
aspect
of
this
being
truly
accessible
for
our
members
in
the
disability.
Community
is
something
we
shouldn't
dismiss
and
also
representing
the
large
population
of
I
do
that
I
do
of
immigrants
in
east
boston.
Knowing
that
you
know.
D
A
The
first
time
and
it's
sad
to
say,
for
the
first
time,
a
lot
of
our
hearings
were
being
simultaneously
translated.
People
were
participating
at
a
level
and
an
inclusion
in
their
own
languages.
That
I
thought
was
something
that
we
otherwise
had
a
little
bit
harder
time
at
doing
was
actually
more
expensive
to
try
and
get
the
headsets
for
everybody
in
in
a
room.
Sometimes
you
had
to
then
have
people
register
and
by
what
language.
A
To
coordinate
versus
just
being
able
to
get
people
on
the
channel
and
then
telling
people
turn
into
this
channel
and
listen
at
the
same
time.
So
the
the
advantages,
I
think,
far
outweigh
the
disadvantages
or
inconveniences,
and
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
that
the
practical
implication
does
matter
and
we,
as
a
city
council,
never
want
to
get
ahead
of
the
hard-working
individuals
who
are
part
of
making
the
notice
available
to
the
public.
And
I
do
know
that.
A
There's
a
good
conversation
to
be
had
about
whether
the
seven
days
notice
is
actually
is
actually
feasible.
And
if
there's,
what
what
kind
of
flexibility
we
could
work
with
to
make
sure
that
we
are
not
overburdening
the
hard-working
central
staffers,
the
hard-working
folks
at
neighborhood
services,
who
are
literally
the
front
end
of
trying
to
make
sure
that
people
have
noticed.
So.
A
A
I
know
that
that's
going
to
come
up
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that
was
very
clear
that
it's
it's
only
about
the
intentional
violations,
not
people
making
mistake,
not
people
being
overburdened,
we're
not
talking
about
people
trying
to
adjust
to
a
sudden
pandemic.
We're
talking
about
intentional
attempts
at
trying
to
not
provide
access
to
people
on
online,
and
I
I
don't
know
anybody
actually
in
the
city
of
boston
right
now.
Who
does
that?
A
Don't
say
that
so
we
can
get
right
into
it
and
I
have
the
administration.
I
know
if
you
have
some
opening
remarks
or
if
you're
here
to
go
the
back
and
forth,
I
figured
you
guys
could
go
ahead
and
then,
since
we
only
have
three
proponents
or
if
you
will
guest
speakers
that
signed
up,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
them
as
a
panel.
And
then
we
can
have
the
full-on
conversation,
okay
between
david
and
edward
or
ed,
whatever
you
prefer.
A
G
Thank
you,
counselor,
we're
fully
supportive
of
this.
I
mean
a
lot
of
the
things
that
are
already
in
the
ordinance
are
practices
that
we
have
implemented
at
the
office
of
neighborhood
services.
I
know
you
know
working
alongside
do
it.
We've
continuously
pursued
to
make
to
make
you
know
our
presentations
more
available
and
equitable
to
the
public,
we're
making
sure
that
we're
focusing
on
and
the
different
platforms
that
are
available
to
us
from
webex
to
zoom
to
see
which
ones
fit
best
and
we're
constantly.
G
A
lot
of
people
are
participating
that
have
not
participated
before,
but
we
do
recognize
that
a
hybrid
version
of
this
needs
to
continue
for
the
future,
and
so
we
look
forward
to
having
this
dialogue
and
hoping
that
you
know
we
can
get
to
an
end
where
we
can
implement
some
changes
and
also
you
know,
make
sure
that
in
the
future
we
include
all
people.
So
thank
you
very
much.
D
David
good
morning,
I
really
don't
have
a
lot
to
to
follow
edward's
comments,
so
you
know
we
are
also
in
support
of
this.
We
know
you
know
through
the
last
almost
you
know
year
and
a
half
how
how
important
you
know,
access
and
and
and
participation
is
in
municipal
government
and
we've
been
seeing
kind
of
record
numbers.
There
are
some
things
to
you
know.
Definitely
you
know
talk
through
around
from
language.
Access
to
you
know
something
that
we
talk
a
lot
about.
D
You
know
digital
equity
and
making
sure
that
people
have
the
ability
to
to
to
participate
in
the
process.
But
you
know
we
you
know,
as
as
eddie
said
we,
you
know
very
much
involved
with
you
know
different
parts
of
the
administration
to
make
sure
that
we
support
this
going
forward.
As
we
looked
at
lessons
learned
over
through
the
pandemic,
what
has
worked?
What
hasn't
worked?
D
This
definitely
has
fit
into
a
category
of
of
something
that
you
know
that
has
worked
and
has
you
know,
shown
record
number
of
people
participating
in
the
process
which,
which
is
always
a
great
thing.
So
you
know
I'm
ready
to
roll
up
the
sleeves
and
get
right
down
to
it.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
back
to
you
counselor
and
let's
get
started.
A
F
So
I
believe
that
we've
seen
unprecedented
level
of
involvement
as
the
longest
serving
of
the
member
of
the
council.
I
can't
remember
a
time
when
we
had
such
participation,
so
you
know
particularly
as
well
as
our
city
budget
process
as
well.
So
I
think
our
democracy
as
a
whole
has
improved
by
this
increased
public
engagement.
That
has
happened
through
through
zoom,
so
I
support
the
maker's
efforts
to
preserve
that
positive
change
through
this
ordinance
and
look
forward
to
a
lively
discussion
and
appreciate
the
administration's
involvement
today.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
H
A
H
That's
okay,
council
edwards.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
council
edwards
into
the
sponsors
into
the
maya's
administration
as
well.
This
is
an
important
discussion.
I
also
want
to
highlight
what
council
flaherty
said.
I'd
like
to
see
us
continue
using
access
to
technology
to
make
sure
everybody's
voice
is
heard
in
community
meetings.
But
let
me-
but
let
me
add
something
that
that
has
to
be
said.
I
represent
a
large
immigrant
community.
I
represent
a
large.
H
For
my
immigrant
community.
It
has
been
a
challenge
to
access
zoom
meetings
as
well,
and
then,
when
we
switch
from
zoom
to
another
one
webex,
it's
even
more
difficult
and
many
of
them
may
not
speak
english,
or
many
of
them
may
have
very
very
limited
experience
working
with
computers
or
technology.
So
I
want
to
highlight
that
issue.
I
also
want
to
highlight
language
access
challenges
as
well.
H
Also,
I
I
have
a
lot
of
residents
that
live
in
high
rises
in
the
chinatown
area,
and
sometimes
they
cannot
access
the
internet
effectively
like
like
I
can
in
my
own
home.
So
those
are
issues
I
want
to
focus
on
and
want
to
make
sure
that
we
address
those
as
well
again,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
council
edwards
to
my
city,
council,
colleagues,
for
the
city
council,
support
staff
as
well.
A
Thank
you
very
much
councillor
flynn.
I
think
I
have
all
the
counselors
in
and
now
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
some
of
our
guest
speakers
I'll
announce
them
in
an
order
of
speaking
at
the
first
jim
weiss
from
the
boston
center
for
independent
living,
followed
by
sabrina
rosa
from
student
immigrant
movement,
followed
by
kate,
crawford
from
the
aclu
and
in
all
transparency.
A
I
I
should
probably
there's
a
colleague
of
mine
that
always
introduces
herself
and
she'll
say
you
know
what
she
looks
like,
I
believe
for
folks
who
might
be
blind
or
visually
impaired.
So
I
will
share
that.
I
am
a
power.
Wheelchair
user
and
I've
got
a
mustache,
I'm
wearing
a
white
shirt
and
I
am
caucasian
so
with
that
said,
working
full-time
outside
of
boston.
I
I
work
at
again
wellesley
college
and
being
able
to
access
this
boston
city,
council
meeting
and
really
any
other
meeting
that
is
that
might
require
transportation
is
really
a
godsend
for
me.
I
I
would
prefer
that
this
not
be
something
that
I
would
need
to
request
as
an
accommodation,
but
you
know
I
it
sounds
like
folks
are
very
supportive
of
this.
I
Of
this
ordinance,
but
I
think
if
it
wasn't
passed,
you
you'd
probably
find
people
requesting
it
as
an
accommodation,
and
it
might
be
better
addressed
as
what
I
would
call
and
many
would
call
a
a
universal
design
approach
that
gives
everyone
access
regardless
of
disability
and-
and
I
would
be
supportive
of
both
the
remote
and
in-person
access
to
meetings
so
likely.
If
I
were
to
try
to
attend
a
10
a.m,
meeting
physically
in
boston,
it
would
probably
take
me
half
a
work
day
to
do.
I
It
might
even
be
longer
factoring
in
mbta
rides
and
whatever
else.
Instead
right
now,
I'm
just
kind
of
swapping
out
some
time,
maybe
working
a
little
later
or
doing
lunch
stuff
and
in
the
wonderful
world
of
zoom.
I'm
seeing
something
popping
up
on
my
screen
that
somebody's
trying
to
call
so
I
will
squash
that
a
second
you
know
I.
I
guess
I
am
also
fortunate
for
my
personal
care
attendants
who
are
able
to
help
me
get
to
work
and
get
me
up
early.
I
But
there
are
a
lot
of
folks
with
disabilities,
where
a
10
o'clock
meeting
might
mean
that
that's
the
normal
time
that
they
would
actually
be
just
up
and
ready
to
go
so
for
them
to
attend
this.
This
type
of
meeting
being
able
to
jump
on
the
computer
would
be
would
be
a
way
that
would
make
things
accessible.
I
You
know,
I
think,
without
you
know,
beyond
beyond
kind
of
the
disability
kinds
of
areas
that
people
are
considering
and
maybe
including
disability.
There
are
folks
who
have
child
care
responsibilities,
healthcare,
responsibilities
with
family
members
and
again
the
work
and
travel.
You
know
all
kind
of
combines
to
make
this
challenging.
I
I
But
I
think
you
should
also
consider
accommodations
in
terms
of
captioning
and
how
this
will
be
posted
on
the
web
and
what
you
might
want
to
do
in
terms
of
process
for
folks
who
either
need
accommodations,
whether
that's
something
that's
automatically
done
or
you
know,
ideally
it
would
be
automatically
done
or
built
into
built
into
zoom
or,
if
you're
posting
this
on
youtube
doing
some
editing.
But
I
I
guess
I
would
in
closing,
encourage
you
to
continue
with
this,
but
consider
some
of
those
factors
as
well.
A
A
You
know
councilor
flynn
and
I
talk
a
lot
of
them
are
veterans.
A
lot
of
those
people
have
served,
there's
so
many
different
ways
in
which
people
come
in
and
out
of
having
a
disability
in
their
life,
and
I
think
that
the
city
of
boston
and
by
the
way
this
this
applies
to
all
public
meetings
for
the
city,
not
the
city
council
meetings,
there
would
be
bpda
meetings.
I
think
we
would
try
to
at
least
have
that
applied
to
that.
A
It
would
be
for
the
con
com
meetings,
hearings
for
the
commissions,
all
of
those
different
meetings
that
are
open
to
the
public.
I
think
that
this
would
actually
make
them
truly
open
to
the
public,
and
I
think
it
was
incredible,
powerful
testimony
about
what
it
means
to
physically
move
around
to
wait,
for
you
know
a
car
to
get
here
in
rush
hour
traffic
to
do
all
of
those
different
things
as
well.
Are
things
worth
considering,
and
I
think
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
that-
powerful
testimony.
J
Hi
everyone
good
morning,
my
name
is
sabrina
roso.
I
work
with
the
student
immigrant
movement
as
an
organizer,
first
and
foremost,
I'd
love
to
say
thank
you
to
jim
and
to
all
the
counselors
who
spoke
before
me.
I
I
think
it's
really
exciting
and
very
beautiful
to
hear
everyone
talk
about
inclusivity
and
access
to
to
folks
being
able
to,
you
know,
come
and
share
their
voice,
which
is
super
powerful.
I
know
for
everyone
to
hear,
especially
during
a
time
where
it
was
incredibly
difficult
for
many
families
of
boston.
J
I
think
the
power
of
people
showing
up
shows
how
much
our
city
cares
about
one
another
about
our
stability
about
our
our
well-being
and
I'd
also
really
love
to
highlight
some
of
the
concerns
that
counselor
flynn
was
talking
about.
In
terms
of
you
know,
access
and
folks
still
learning
about
how
to
use
computers,
how
to
use
apps,
which
is
super
important,
and
I
think
that
as
a
community,
you
know
with
the
excitement
that
we
have
around
still
being
able
to
contribute
our
voices.
J
J
So
a
lot
of
the
times,
the
response
that
we
would
get
you
know
one
one
of
the
biggest
things
for
us
is
young
people
getting
involved
in
what's
happening
in
their
community,
so
we
would
always
be
trying
to.
You
know
invite
young
people
to
come
and
testify
at
least
to
be
present
at
a
hearing
if
they
hadn't
testified
before,
and
one
of
the
things
that
would
always
come
up
is
like.
I
have
to
go
home
because
I
have
to
take
care
of
my
siblings
right.
J
Like
my
parents
work
all
day,
and
you
know
we
can't
afford
child
care
or
anything.
So
I
need
to.
I
need
to
be
the
one
that
goes
home
and
takes
care
of
my
siblings
and
right,
and
you
can
see
right
when
young
people
do
want
to
participate
in
something,
and
it's
just
really
difficult
for
them
to
be
able
to
manage
it.
So
they
end
up
just
making
the
choice
that
is
most
realistic
to
the
to
the
issue.
J
At
that
moment,
right,
which
is,
I
need
to
go
home
and
it's
completely
understandable
and,
like
everyone
has
been
saying
right,
if
you're
a
parent,
it's
the
same
thing,
you
might
be
working,
and
there
is
no
time
for
you
to
go
to
city
hall.
You
know,
find
a
place
to
park
your
car
or
take
the
t
right
and
then
have
to
manage
like
how
I'm
getting
back
home
and
everything.
So
you
know
that's
something
that
I
would
just
like
to
highlight
as
a
real
life
story
about
many
people
in
the
city
of
boston.
J
You
know
just
in
terms
of
highlighting
the
values
of
well
what
everyone
has
been
highlighting
of
inclusivity
and
having
access
to
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to
share
that
power.
Of
speaking
your
mind
and
sharing.
You
know
your
story
what's
happening
in
your
life
as
it
pertains
to
a
particular.
You
know
docket
or
like
a
particular
ornament.
Something
like
that,
and
so
it's
it's
a
it's
a
really
beautiful
thing.
For
folks
to
be
able
to
feel
like.
J
I
have
the
power
to
join
in
and
to
say
something,
and
so
you
know
I'll
just
keep
it
at
that.
I
know
that
everyone
here
is
kind
of
on
the
same
page
about
you
know
moving
forward
on
this,
and
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
you
know
I
think
it's
really
beautiful
for
us
to
think
through,
like
how
do
we
make
this
even
more
inclusive
right,
like
you
know,
do
we
do
little
pamphlets
that
kind
of
have
step
by
step,
how
to
use
something?
J
I'm
sure
that
there
are
plenty
of
ways
that
we
could
think
through
how
to
make.
You
know
technology
more
accessible
to
the
folks
who
have
been
struggling
with
it
a
bit
and
yeah.
I
think
it
would
be
really
cool
to
see.
You
know
the
city
council
really
model
a
hybrid
structure
at
this
time
and
you
know
moving
forward.
J
I
think
that
there
are
many
other
places
that
can
also
really
benefit
from
using
that
structure
like
in
terms
of
you
know
the
school
committee
right
and
then
also
having
you
know,
proper
translation
like
counselor
edwards
was
talking
about
so
you
know.
I
think
it
would
be
a
really
beautiful
opportunity
to
be
a
great
role
model
in
the
city
of
boston,
with
this
structure.
A
A
A
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
apologize
for
my
tardiness.
I
I
was
moving
between
locations
and
I
got
stuck
in
traffic.
Yes,
I'm
really
really
excited
about
this
or
this
ordinance
during
covert.
We
realized
that
many
of
our
virtual
meetings
were
had
in
massively
increased
attendance,
because
people
who
had
child
care
responsibilities,
people
who
were
taking
care
of
elders
were
able
to
join
our
meetings
remotely
and
participate
in
the
conversation
and
have
their
voices
heard.
So
I'm
really
really
excited
about
this
ordinance
and
thank
you
for
what
I've
heard
so
far.
K
L
Tell
you
hi?
Yes,
sorry
about
that.
Apropos
of
this
hearing,
I
have
a
plumber
in
my
house
right
now
trying
to
fix
my
kitchen
sink,
so
apologies
for
the
distraction,
so
my
name
is
kade
crawford.
I
am
the
director
of
the
technology
for
liberty
program
at
the
aclu
of
massachusetts,
on
behalf
of
our
more
than
10
000
members
and
supporters
in
boston.
The
aclu
is
excited
to
express
our
strongest
support
for
docket
number,
zero,
four,
four,
two
and
ordinance
expanding
access
to
local
democracy
in
the
city
of
boston.
L
So,
as
we
know
the
pandemic
ravaged
our
city
in
our
world,
it
exposed
long
pre-existing
inequities.
It
forced
us
to
make
drastic
changes
to
how
we
live
work
and
play,
and
it
also
changed
practically
overnight
how
our
local
governments
conduct
business.
You
know
naomi
klein
talked
about
the
shock
doctrine
out
of
disasters
come
new
innovations
and
sometimes
those
can
be
actually
beneficial
for
people.
So
here's
one
of
them.
L
I
just
want
to
say
something
about
the
nature
of
this
ordinance
and,
frankly,
about
the
aclu's
larger
efforts
to
try
to
reform
the
law
in
this
area
across
the
state.
You
know
I've
heard
a
couple:
counselors
say
that
there
are
concerns
about
ensuring
access
to
in-person
meetings
for
certain
communities
who
can
benefit
from
you
know,
maybe
who
maybe
aren't
technologically
savvy
or
don't
have
access
to
the
internet.
L
You
know
the
city
council
is
a
leader
in
this
space.
We
have
not
seen
many
communities
across
the
state
adopt
the
kind
of
open
and
transparent
posture
that
the
city
of
boston
has
unfortunately,
last
month,
the
state
legislature
actually
failed
to
extend
a
requirement
that
local
governments
provide
hybrid
meeting
participation
options.
What
they
ended
up
doing
was
saying
that
open
meetings
could
either
continue
to
be
fully
remote
or
they
could
be
fully
in
person.
L
The
legislature
did
not
actually
say
that
municipalities
have
to
provide
a
hybrid
option
if
they're
going
to
be
meeting
in
person.
So
we
were
very
disappointed
with
that
and
we're
going
to
be
trying
to
work
with
the
legislature
to
fix
that
on
a
permanent
basis
to
ensure
that
that's
not
a
problem
for
other
communities.
Fortunately,
as
I
said,
that's
not
boston.
The
boston
city
council
has
opted
to
continue
offering
members
of
the
public
a
remote
participation
option,
even
as
members
of
the
body
increasingly
elect
to
meet
in
person,
which
is
wonderful.
L
So
we
applaud
the
city
council
for
your
commitment
and
your
leadership
in
in
terms
of
access
to
democracy
and
transparency.
The
proposal
before
you
essentially
just
codifies
that
practice.
It
ensures
that
we
never
go
back
to
the
pre-pandemic
status
quo.
When
you
know
your
ability
to
participate,
maybe
hinged
on
how
much
money
you
had.
You
know
your
your
ability
status
and
things
like
that.
So
we
work
for.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
the
council,
the
administration
and
the
people
of
boston
to
swiftly
pass
and
implement
this
important
ordinance.
L
A
Thank
you
very
much
I
so
I
just
wanted
to
now
that
we
have
we've
been
kind
of
gone
through
the
pros
and
cons
for
this.
I
didn't
know
just
looking
right
now
to
the
administration
based
off
of
the
overall
concept,
where
there's
certain
things
that
you
felt
needed
to
be
added
clarified
or
any
questions
that
you
had
or
considerations
we
need
to
have,
as
as
a
city
council,
I'm
just
putting
it
back
to
administration.
A
G
G
F
G
Forward
not
only
with
virtual
meetings
but
also
a
hybrid
model
and
they've
had
a
team
up.
There
completely
focus
on
that
and
how
that
they
would
facilitate
their
processes
on
those,
but
I
mean,
overall
with
respect
to
the
ordinance,
I
think
it's
just
a
matter
of
logistically
staying
on
the
same
page
with
respect
to
the
capabilities
technologically
as
well
as
knowing
that
each
neighborhood
is
a
semi
difference.
G
G
Orion
heights
is
another
area
that
they
would
like
to
have
more
in-person
meetings
and
things
like
that,
so
we're
just
focusing
on
making
sure
we
listen
to
as
many
you
know,
constituencies
as
possible
and,
like
I
said
earlier,
we're
regularly
in
contact
with
language
access,
so
the
demographic
needs
change
pretty
regularly
and
we're
just
trying
to
adapt
and
change
as
quickly
as
we
possibly
can.
That
being
the
case,
it
does
take
some
time
to
line
up
the
contracts
and
the
necessary
support
to
enable
these
things
to
occur,
and
it's
not
something.
G
We
just
hope
to
highlight
that
you
know,
in
the
background,
there's
technological
things
that
we
need
to
establish
whether
or
not
we
stick
with
a
single
platform,
be
it
webex
or
zoom,
and
how
accessible
those
things
are,
as
well
as
making
sure
that
they
fit
the
needs
of
the
different
offices
that
we,
you
know
interact
with
daily.
I
mean
just,
for
example,
the
butters
meetings
that
we
have
are
regular.
I
mean
before
the
virtual
meetings,
we're
literally
holding
them
on
the
sidewalks.
G
You
know,
and
so
it's
just
come
a
long
way
to
the
point
where
we
have
more
activity,
more
people
participating
and
at
some
points
we
know
that
we
might
need
to
do
some
things
in
person,
but
we
also
don't
want
to
diminish
that.
So
how
do
we
balance?
You
know
the
liaison
facilitating
an
in-person
meeting
while
also
having
someone
conducting
or
you
know
the
electronic
apparatus,
as
they
have
to
to
to
include
it
so
we're
more
than
willing
to
work
on
it.
G
D
Such
I
really
don't
have
much
to
you
to
to
to
add
to
eddie's
statement.
I
mean
we
are.
You
know
like
in
my
opening
statement.
We
are
very
much
agreeable
to
this.
It's
really
just
looking
through
in
terms
of
it.
I
think
one
of
the
it
was
mentioned
earlier
in
the
session
to
determine
which
platform
that
we
would
be
looking
at.
D
You
know
the
zoom
versus
versus
webex
and
in
the
the
features
and
functions
of
each
of
them,
especially
around
the
language
component
of
that,
and
it's
really
just
around
making
sure
that
we
have
the
the
appropriate
agreements
in
place
and
that
we
are
in
lockstep
with
you
know,
with
the
various
departments
and
and
the
city
council.
So
we
are,
we
are
on
board
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
all
the
all
the
eyes
dotted
and
t
is
crossed
as
we
move
forward.
A
I
Yeah,
so
not
not
necessarily
to
slow
down
the
the
ordinance,
but
I
heard
council
edwards
talking
about
staff
and
kind
of
working
in
that
disability
services
space.
I
mean,
I
think
what
david
and
eddie
were
talking
about
in
terms
of
identifying
platforms.
It
all
makes
makes
sense,
and
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
for
the
staff
to
get
some
some
guidelines
as
to
how
to
do
this
kind
of
stuff
and
so
nobody's
recreating
the
wheel,
and
maybe
it's
a
you
know.
I
Maybe
it's
a
video
on
how
to
set
this
stuff
up
and
again
I
mentioned
captioning.
There
may
be
so
some
of
these
platforms
have
built-in
captioning.
You
may
want
to
network
with
some
folks.
You
know,
maybe
at
the
mass
commission
for
deaf
and
hard
of
hearing.
You
know.
I
know
all
the
kind
of
the
canned
youtube
captioning
they're,
not
perfect,
and
so
is
that
something
you
use?
I
Is
it
the
script
from
the
zoom
meeting?
If
you're
doing
it
real
time,
do
you
do
you
hire
a
captioning
service?
You
know,
is
somebody
doing
some
editing
real
time?
All
of
those
logistics,
I
think
are,
are
helpful
to
put
together.
I
wouldn't
stop
the
ordinance
for
that,
but
I
think
it's
something
that
you
may
want
to
think
about
to
help
the
staff
and
to
make
the
experience
uniforms.
A
I
think
sabrina
brought
it
up,
but
I
think
this
should
be
an
understanding
of
you
know
before
this
becomes
effective.
How
if
the
city
is
required
to
do
a
massive
outreach
and
push
to
say
that
this
is
going
to
be
an
available
opportunity
for
folks
the
worst
is
making
access,
making
us
more
accessible
and
no
one
knowing
about
it.
So
I
do
want
to
make
sure
it's
truly
successful
in
uniform
that
I
I
assume
on
all
notices
going
forward.
A
There
will
be
required
that
there's
a
link
or
location
on
the
physical
notice
and
online
and
then
the
email
saying
where
they
can
access
it.
I
do
think
there's
a
certain
level
of
uniformity.
We
do
need
to
adopt
also
in
how
we
conduct
the
meetings.
I
know
it
would
be
pda,
you
don't
see
other
people
and
they
let
people
speak
or
they
don't
with
other
folks.
It's
it's
all
everyone's
all
in
and
the
chat's
open
it.
It
can
be
all
sorts
of
different
things.
A
A
What's
the
baseline,
you
will
have,
you
know,
access
to
the
ability
to
see
people
the
ability-
and
I
think
we
do
have
a
baseline,
at
least
for
disability
and
for
language,
but
there's
there's
still
inconsistencies.
There
was
what
is
it
go
meet
then
webex,
then
zoom
and
all
these
different
kinds
of
ways.
I
don't
want
to
promote
a
specific
vendor,
but
I
do
think
we
need
to
have
specific
standards
that
we
adopt.
A
I
also
think
we
need
to
be
clear
and
not
everyone
has
access
to
the
internet
or
computer
or
cell
phone,
or
has
the
data
or
can
afford
to
do
that.
So
we
should
also
be
clear
that
if
you
cannot
physically
access
it
from
home
but
still
need
to
be
remote,
a
local
library
is
an
option.
You
know
we
should
say
you
can
access
internet
access.
A
I
click
on
it
and
I
have
access
and
I'm
in
in
the
meeting
remotely
I'm
you
know,
that's
I'll,
kick
that
to
david
or
to
you
guys
a
little
bit,
but
I'm
talking
about
like
technology
wise.
I
think
one
point
is
one
point:
access
is
really
key.
If
I
don't
get
the
notice
because
I
don't
live
in
east
boston
and
and
ons
does
the
300
foot,
you
know
if
I
don't
get
it,
but
I
still
care
about
the
greenway
or
care
about
environmental.
A
A
A
As
I
understand,
that
is
not,
by
definition,
a
public
body
on
this
ordinance,
so
unless
you
want
it
to
be,
unless
we
think
it
should
be
or
if
we
think
we're
excluding
or
not,
including
enough
of
public
interested
conversations,
I
want
people
understand
that
this
is
what
it's
limited
to,
which
is
public
body
conversations.
So
that's
putting
it
out
there
if
you
guys
think
it's
not
expansive
enough.
A
I
also
wanted
to
to
touch
on
the
enforcement
aspect
of
this
again.
I
know
that
the
city
of
boston
very
much
seems
to
be
supportive
of
this,
but
it
does
have
an
enforcement
aspect
of
this
intentional
violations
and
it
involves
retraining
suspension
termination
all
of
these
different
things,
none
of
which
would
override
the
already
protected
union
protections
that
a
person
has
or
the
due
process
that
they
have.
A
But
this
is
to
prevent
someone
from
hiding
the
ball,
but
that's
that's.
What's
in
there,
that's
also
what
we're
going
to
subject
ourselves
to
I
have
heard
from,
and
I
I
just
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
terry
jordan,
who
basically
allowed
for
us
to
continue
our
business.
He
works
in
central
staff
here,
but
I
have
also
heard
from
central
staffers.
A
The
seven
day
notice
is
particularly
might
be
particularly
burdensome
for
them,
and
so
I
will
work
with
them
to
figure
out
what
kind
of
notice
provision
or
language
is
less
burdensome,
but
also
make
sure
that
the
public
maybe
has
more
access
than
48
hours,
which
has
been
a
concern
expressed,
but
I
did
want
to
let
central
staffers
know.
We
heard
you
there's
a
genuine
concern
about
that.
A
A
I
don't
I
don't
know,
but
I
was
curious.
What
jim's
thoughts
may
be
about
that,
and
so
those
are
kind
of
my
out
there
thoughts
to
really
questions,
but
also
what
I
see
the
language
having
to
address
as
well,
so
jim
and
david,
then
I'll
turn
it
over
to
liz
and
julia
and
the
other
counselors
who
are
still
here
for
any
of
their
thoughts
and
questions.
And
then
we
do
have
two
people
who
are
here
for
public
testimony.
I
believe
I
I
don't.
D
I
believe
that
you
do
currently
have
a
community
calendar.
I
will.
I
will
follow
up
and
check
on
that
in
terms
of
the
access.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
understood
what
you
said
in
terms
of
the
uniqueness
of
each
of
the
meetings
that
there's
not
one
generic
link
for
all
the
meetings
to
kind
of
one
stop
shop,
clicking
and
you're
into
the
meeting
that
each
meeting
in
and
of
itself
is
unique.
It
may
or
may
not
require
a
password.
D
I
know
you
talked
about
that
with
around
you
know,
standardization
of
how
the
meetings
are
going
to
be
run
and
whether
you
see
participants,
you
don't
see,
participants
you
require
password,
you
don't
require
password
things
of
that
nature.
So
I
would
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
understand
when
you,
when
you
talk
about
kind
of
a
single
link
to
kind
of
click
on
within
this
kind
of
community
calendar
and
then
you're
in
what
what
exactly
that
means.
A
Well,
I
I
guess,
because
I
kind
of
want
to
see
it
just
like
if
I
open
up
a
door,
I'm
in
the
room,
I'm
able
to
participate,
I'm
able
to
be
part
of
something-
and
I
didn't
want
you
know
with
the
inconsistent.
Oh,
this
is
a
bpda
meeting,
so
that's
going
to
need
a
password,
and
this
is
going
to
need
this
and
me
to
register
in
advance
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
A
Like
I
didn't
know,
if
there's
a
way
to
make
it
so
that
people
I
mean,
even
if
they're
in
just
to
participate,
but
if
you're
gonna
speak
there
might
be
another
something
else,
but
it
has
to
be
uniform
because
people
are
are
disappointed
when
they
feel
like
they've,
signed
up
or
can't
speak.
You
know
we
have
some
zva
hearings.
Literally
people
told
you're,
not
speaking
today
we
don't
have
time.
That's
that's
not
ideal,
but
also
it's
not.
D
No,
it's
not,
and
that's
standardization.
I
mean,
as
you
know,
it's
one
thing
to
say
you
know
through
the
last
whatever
15
months
of
the
pandemic,
but
you
know
going
forward
with
these
hybrid
meetings.
It
does
give
us
an
opportunity
to
really
kind
of
hammer
out
what
that
standardization
looks
like
you
know
across
the
city,
so
that
you
know,
as
you
mentioned,
we
do
have
multiple
platforms
that
we
use.
I
D
A
B
B
B
It
is
it's
kind
of
awkward
because
you
you
don't
get
to
see
who's
in
the
space
it
just
that
particular
platform
is
cumbersome
and
I'm
just
curious
if
it's
possible
to
just
across
all
of
our
city
departments,
just
to
be
consistent
and
use
zoom,
which
is
the
platform
that
most
people
have
learned
and
mastered
at
this
point.
So
I'm
curious
if
we
would
be
able
to
kind
of
push
for
some
standard
around
utilizing
zoom.
B
So
it's
one
thing
that
people
are
learning
how
to
do
across
all
departments
instead
of
having
multiple
different
platforms
that
you,
you
just
never
know
what
you're
going
to
get.
When
you
register
you
find
out.
Oh
it's
webex!
Now
I
have
to
figure
out
how
to
use
it.
So
is
there
a
way
for
us
to
standardize
it
and
make
it
consistent
across
all
meetings
in
one
platform,.
A
Thank
you
councilman
here
any
any
thoughts
from
the
administration
on
uniformity
and
in
the
vendor
space
and
standards.
I
understand
we
can't
technically
just
say
it
will
be
a
vendor
of
specific
name
brand,
but
to
echo
counselor
mahia's
point.
If
we
had
standards
across
the
board,
no
matter
what
you
come
in
as
you
need
to
provide
the
following
things,
I
don't
know.
G
Okay,
yeah,
I
mean
we
mean
our
team
has
been
working
as
well.
As
you
know,
other
departments
would
do
it
regularly
discussing.
You
know
the
flaws
of
whatever
platform
we're
using
for
those
particular
meetings,
and
we've
had
conversations
about
focusing
in
on
a
particular
platform,
one
of
those
being
zoom
and
about
the
accommodations
they
make.
Like
any.
You
know
major
decision
in
procurement.
G
There's
a
you
know,
a
few
things
that
we
have
to
go
through
before
we
can
acquire
them,
but
we
hope
to
have
more
uniformity
in
the
near
future,
especially
working
in
line
with
this
ordinance
and
even
like
you
said,
especially
with
meetings
that
might
not
necessarily
be
in
line
with
the
actual
ordinance.
But
reflecting
you
know,
the
the
actual
traits
that
we
want
to
see
in
every
single
meeting
will
be
a
situation
as
well.
G
B
Edward,
can
I
just
follow
up
to
that
councillors.
Is
that
that
okay?
Can,
I
just
have
a
follow
up.
Absolutely.
Thank
you.
So,
in
regards
to
webex
what
what
I
have
experienced
myself
and
have
heard
from
other
folks
is
this
anonymous
situation
where
you
just
you
hear
the
person's
voice,
you
don't
see
who's
in
the
you
don't
see
who's
there.
It
seems
to
me
somewhat
impersonal
and
there's
something
to
be
said
when
you
can
actually
it
I
don't
know
it's
just.
It
just
feels
awkward,
so
I
I'm.
B
G
Yeah,
no,
I
I
mean
definitely
not
the
only
person
who
upset
mentioned
that
to
us.
I
think
you
know
in
the
beginning
of
learning
these
platforms,
it's
you
know,
just
normal
individuals
who
are
facilitating
these
meetings,
be
it
a
liaison
or
you
know,
a
liaison
to
a
different
department,
and
some
of
the
concerns
were
specific
to
like
zoom
bombing
and
different
things
like
that.
So
to
help
mitigate
those
there
were
these
type
of
features.
That
being
said,
it
definitely
you
know
a
random
voice.
G
Just
talking
from
the
abyss
isn't
necessarily
something
that
people
feel
comfortable
with.
So
we're
more
than
willing
to
accommodate-
and
you
know
put
in
you
know,
work
on
the
requirements
of
the
meeting
to
ensure
that
we
don't
find
ourselves
in
a
situation
where
you
know
the
people
screen
they're,
showing
and
they're
showing
inappropriate
images,
but
they're
also,
we
also
know
who's
in
the
meeting
and
why
they
want
to
participate.
So
I
don't,
I
don't
think
it's
a
heavy
lift.
B
Just
because
I
know
some
folks
who
are
who
may
be
undocumented
may
have
some
concerns
about
participating
in
a
public
forum.
So
council
edwards.
You
could
just
put
me
on
mute
if
you
think
that
this
is
a
crazy
question,
but
I'm
just
I'm
just
kind
of
foreshadowing,
some
folks
who
who
may
have
some
concerns
with
their
status
and
being
in
a
public
environment
and
how
we
may
want
to
kind
of
get
ahead
of
that.
A
I
actually
just
real
quick
before
you
respond
there.
What
your,
what
you
brought
up
has
been
brought
up
before
when
discussing
recording
civic
association
meetings
to
me
in
east
boston
and
the
concern
of
you
know
having
people
on
camera
when
they
didn't
want
to
be,
and
that's
that
was
when
the
camera
just
faced
the
audience
or
just
had
everybody
on
there
and
by
virtue
of
you
walking
in
the
room,
you
were
suddenly
on
camera.
So
that's
a
valid
concern.
A
A
You
may
be
able
to
just
put
your
first
name
in
there,
so
the
the
participant
on
the
remote
access
may
have
more
control
over
how
much
information
about
themselves
that
they
put
out,
which
which
I
think
will
help
address
that
very
valid
concern.
Council
mejia
versus
when
the
same
exact
concern
was
when
a
camera
was
just
shoved
on
people,
and
you
happened
to
be
in
the
room
and
you
had
no
control,
so
I
think
that
that
we
people
might
be
able
to
strike
the
balance
for
themselves
a
little
bit
better.
Those
are
my
thoughts.
G
Yeah,
I
would
say
that,
with
respect
to
our
guidelines,
I
mean
there
has
to
be
a
public
campaign
to
educate
individuals
on
how
to
use
these
networks.
It's
not
something
that
we
can
just
implement
and
my
office
plays
a
pretty
vital
role
in
that,
as
well
as
boston
311,
which
is
another
office.
We
oversee
and
we're
more
than
willing
to
make
sure
that
guidelines
go
out
to
everybody,
as
they
not
only
protect
yourself,
but
also
to
make
sure
everyone
feels
comfortable
coming.
G
Our
goal
is
always
to
make
sure
that
individuals,
no
matter
what
their
status
is
here,
especially
in
the
city
of
boston,
they
feel
comfortable
being
able
to
express
their
opinions.
And
you
know
I've
been
in
scenarios
where,
exactly
as
described
by
council
edwards,
you
know
either
facilitating
a
cannabis
meeting
or
something.
Someone
would
come
up
to
me
after
the
meeting
and
tell
me
that
they
are
very
concerned
with
having
been
put
on
camera,
and
you
know
trying
to
address
that
and
having
conversations
with
either
a
news
network
or
the
independent
film
person.
G
So
it
is
definitely
existing,
but
I
think
that
it
is
something
that,
in
our
public
outreach
campaign
we
can
address,
and
let
people
know
that
you
know
these
are
the.
These
are
the
things
that
you
should
implement.
If
you
have
any
concerns
with
this,
this
is
a
safe
space.
This
isn't
something
that
you
know
we're
going
to
utilize
in
order
to
jeopardize
anybody.
G
A
A
K
K
Who
else
not
these
anonymous
voices
that
come
out
of
the
abyss
is
really
important,
because
you
should
have
to
be
able
to
recreate
the
sense
of
it
being
like
a
community
meeting
where
you
know
who's
there.
You
can
I
love
and
enjoy
that
the
meeting
said
to
have
a
very
open
format
that
you
know
who's
there.
You
can.
You
can
make
comments
in
the
chat.
You
can
ask
questions
in
the
chat.
K
It
becomes
a
really
rich
dialogue,
whereas
if,
if
the,
if
the
presenter
or
the
whoever's
in
charge
tries
to
control
it
really
tightly,
you
end
up
pushing
the
dialogue
and
it's
it's
not
what
we're
looking
for.
So
I
really
feel
that
you
know
getting
to
a
place
where
we
can
get
some
agreement
on
the
on
the
cross.
The
board
standards,
regardless
of
what
what
platform
we're
using,
would
be
very
good.
I
have
to
say
webex
webex
is
not
my
favorite
one.
E
Go
ahead
good
morning:
counselor
edwards,
council
breeding
and
members
of
the
boston
city
council.
My
name
is
johnny
mcinnis,
the
political
director
for
the
boston
teachers
union,
the
boston
teachers
union
supports
an
ordinance,
sorry
and
orders
expanding
access
to
local
democracy
in
the
city
of
boston
throughout
the
covet
pandemic.
Our
city
councils,
along
with
other
groups,
who
hold
open
meetings
for
their
constituents
across
the
city,
had
to
learn
on
their
feet
so
to
speak.
E
E
I
didn't
edit.
That
correctly,
I
want.
I
want
to
also
acknowledge
that
through
city
council
virtual
hearings,
you
have
provided
a
learning
opportunity
for
constituents
to
have
a
better
understanding
of
how
city
government
functions
when
hearings
are
held
during
the
day.
Many
people
have
other
obligations
as
mentioned
prior,
and
it
has
been
an
unequitable
challenge
to
attend
in
person.
As
I
speak
on
behalf
of
our
btu
members,
who
are
teaching
students
during
the
day,
they
are
not
able
to
participate
during
their
work
day.
E
I
will
reference
the
bps
budget
hearings,
for
example,
at
city
hall,
when
I
sat
in
the
chamber
with
counting
on
one
hand
or
maybe
both
hands
on
who
was
in
the
room,
not
including
bps
staff,
but
as
counselors
you
have
witnessed,
there
were
quadruple
observers
during
the
process.
It
made
it
more
transparent
through
remote
access,
an
opportunity
has
been
created,
for
example,
individuals
with
disability,
or
those
that
are
senior
citizens
have
who
have
access
to
technology
are
not
always
able
to
physically
access
hearings
to
attend
in
person.
E
A
M
My
name
is
sarah
mccammond.
I
am
the
executive
director
of
the
harperfront
neighborhood
alliance.
We
bring
together
neighborhood
associations
of
east
boston,
charlestown
north
end,
downtown,
south
boston
and
dorchester
to
ensure
resident
voices
affect
the
growth,
development
and
sustainability
of
an
accessible
boston,
waterfront,
and
I
want
to
thank
councillors,
edwards
breeden
and
hia,
for
this
important
legislation
to
establish
permanent
remote
participation,
option
for
all
public
body
meetings,
the
technology,
accessibility
for
people
with
disabilities
and
those
who
speak
languages
other
than
english.
M
This
will
elevate
community
voices
and
public
process
and
as
counselor
edwards
mentioned,
we
would
like
these
same
considerations
extended
to
all
commission
and
city
publicly
engaged
entities,
including
the
bpda
and
abutters
meetings
with
the
end
of
the
state
of
the
emergency,
the
state,
the
anticipation
was
that
public
medians
be
hybrid
in
an
in-person
remote
meeting
format
going
forward,
and
although
the
state
of
emerging
extended
open
auditing
law,
it
opened
meeting
law,
it
extends
excuse
me.
It
ends.
M
On
april
1st
of
2022,
we
would
like
to
also
reiterate
councillor
friends
me
and
braden's
points
that
one
platform
should
be
chosen
across
the
city
to
provide
greater
familiarity
and
ease
of
use,
functions
and
their
actions.
We
would
like
to
strongly
recommend
that
the
use
of
a
transparent
platform
that
provides
two-way
engagement
allows
attendees
to
see
who
is
in
the
room,
chat
with
each
other
and
provide
comments
and
questions
that
are
not
curated
out
of
curated
out
of
view
by
a
meeting
organizer.
This
is
important
to
build
trust
and
connection
with
the
community.
M
We
also
understand
there
are
issues
inherent
in
both
online
and
in-person
formats.
It's
our
expectation
that
a
hybrid
format
would
be
better.
We
encourage
the
utilization
of
digital
tools
such
as
polling
or
surveys,
encourage
submission
of
videos
for
commenting
and
by
utilizing
digital
engagement
tools
and
continuing
to
innovate
and
create
best
practices.
The
result
will
be
better
public
engagement
experience
with
greater
input
from
residents
on
the
neighborhoods.
A
A
G
I
mean
to
be
honest:
we
do
seven
day
a
lot
of
things
already
highlighted.
We
already
tried
to
do
on
a
day-to-day
basis
with
respect
to
a
butter's
meetings.
I
think
it's
important
that
how
about
play
a
role
leading
up
to
the
meetings
that
would
be
defined
by
this
ordinance
as
it
is.
You
know.
One
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
highlight-
and
I
think
is
important-
is
that
the
abutters
meetings
and
other
meetings
that
we
facilitate,
be
it
article
80
or
others.
G
You
know
they're
con
they're.
The
comment
period
never
closes
so
technically.
If
you
don't
make
it
to
the
meeting,
there
are
a
variety
of
different
options
for
you
to
reach
out
to
our
office
or
the
offices
that
would
be
facilitating
that
process
and
provide
your
feedback
so
that
we
can,
you
know,
take
that
either
be
in
a
written
form,
be
it
a
snail
mail
letter
or
an
email
or
a
phone
call
I'll
document
it
and
make
sure
it's
sent
to
the
appropriate
boards
for
review.
G
So
I
think
there
are
some
logistical
aspects
from
an
avartas
meeting
standpoint
that
we
would
have
to
discuss
with
respect
to
a
hybrid
model,
and
you
know
typically,
I
have
my
liaisons
are
doing
more
than
one
meeting
a
night.
I
know
lena
and
hayley
dillon,
a
few
others
and
doing
multiple
meetings
a
night
and
so
trying
to
make
that
logistically
work
could
be
somewhat
difficult,
but
we're
always
like
I
said
earlier,
we're
always
more
than
accommodating.
We
always
try
to
operate
on
a
seven
day
to
seven
to
fourteen
day
notice
schedule.
G
So
there's
not
a
lot
of
things
that
are
in
this
ordinance
that
we're
already
not
trying
to
practice.
I
do
think,
though,
some
of
the
larger
scale
things
such
as
the
public
outreach
campaign
unifying
the
platform
and
then
logistically
getting
the
guidelines
down
or
something
in
a
working
session.
We'd
like
to
do
and
and
as
we
discuss
them,
I
think
you
know
I'd
have
a
better
understanding
of
how
easier
what
difficulties
would
be
implemented,
but
just
some
of
the
things
I
highlighted
there.
G
A
A
I
do
think
that
that's
something
we
should
consider
or
I'm
putting
out
to
everyone.
I
do
think
the
the
impact
advisory
groups-
that's
what
that
stands
for
from
that
are
usually
part
of
the
article
80
process
that
come
back
and
forth.
They're,
usually
people
from
the
community.
They
are
appointed,
but
I
don't
know
that
they
are
a
board
or
a
commission
or
committee
or
subcommittee
per
this
language,
but
I
would
I'm
going
to
propose
definitely
having
iags
be
part
of
this
and
that
their
meetings
be
also
hybrid.
A
If
someone
from
the
bpda
might
want
to
talk
to
us
about
what
that
that
means
in
terms
of
cost
and
infrastructure
that
they
may
need
to
now
build
out,
it's
one
thing
to
have
their
regular
zoning
commission
or
bpa
board
meetings
hybrid.
But
if
we're
also
talking
about
every
single
iag
meeting
around
the
city,
that
might
be
an
infrastructure
kind
of
build
out
and
speaking
of
build
out,
I
did
want
to
ask
the
administration
this
this.
This
has
a
90-day
buffer,
so
once
passed,
there's
90
days
before
it
is
truly
effective.
A
G
From
a
public
campaign
perspective,
I
think
90
days,
you
know
being
three
months.
We
usually
do
three
to
six
months,
so
it's
something
we
could
accommodate,
and
typically
it
wouldn't
be
something
that
we
would
just
stop
after
that
90
days.
You
know
we
would
continue
to
push
that
information
out
with
respect
to
procurement
and
the
conversations
around
unifying
under
one
particular
platform.
D
Thank
you,
I
think,
on
the
on
the
technology
side,
I
think
it
you
know,
I
I
agree
with
that.
It
is
probably
a
little
bit
quick,
but
I
think
it's
I
think
we
could
we
could.
We
could
do
that.
It's
really
just
about
determining
what
the
standards
are
and
vendor
selection
and
in
features
and
functionalities
that
that
we
want
to
have
as
we
compare
product
to
product
and
decided.
You
know
our
standardization
moving
forward,
but
you
know,
I
think
it's
achievable.
B
A
I
want
to
be
clear:
essential
staff
is
not
in
opposition
to
having
more
notice
they're
they're,
noting
a
practical
reality
of
how
we
move
in
the
council
and
so
they're.
This
is
not
an
opposition.
This
is
a
make
sure
when
you're
talking
about
this,
you
realize
how
this
impacts
us
and
that's
what
that
is
coming
from.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
we
do
that,
and
the
working
session
will
likely
have
them
come
in
and
speak
a
little
bit
about
that,
but
I'm
really
excited
about
this
ordinance.
A
I
do
think
that
we
we
can
get
this
done,
and
I
do
do
want
to
note
that
we
did
invite
the
law
department
here
as
well
to
come
and
talk
specifically
about
any
language
concerns
they
may
have,
and
they
will
be.
Of
course
invited
to
the
working
session
so
unless
there's
any
other
concluding
remarks,
council
braiding
counselor
here
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
end
this
this
this
hearing,
so
counselor
braden
counselor
here
I'm
offset.
Thank
you
so
very
much.
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm.
