Creating
this
commission
on
black
men
and
boys
was
codified
last
september
as
chapter
11
of
the
ordinances
of
2021.
A
The
ordinance
outlines
the
membership
of
the
commission
and
defines
its
objectives,
which
include,
but
are
not
limited
to
advising
mayor
on
issues
pertaining
to
black
men
and
boys.
Determining
budget
and
policy
priorities
and
designing
projects
and
programs
that
promote
equity.
The
docket
would
amend
the
current
ordinance
by
adding
provisions
relating
to
an
executive
director
and
defining
the
role
of
the
executive
director.
The
executive
director
would
be
appointed
by
the
mayor.
A
Now
turn
it
over
to
lead
sponsor
julia
here
for
open
remarks
and
then
to
my
colleagues
in
order
of
arrival,
and
I
just
want
to
make
clear
that
we're
joined
today
by
councillor
mejia
who's.
The
lead
sponsor
lead,
sponsor
counselor
bach,
president
flynn,
councillor
louis
jen,
councillor,
fernandez,
anderson
and
councillor
warrell,
and
so
with
that
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
councillor
medhia.
C
Thank
you
to
the
chair
for
working
with
our
office
to
schedule
this
so
quickly.
We
really
do
appreciate
it.
Our
office
originally
filed
and
passed
this
ordinance
establishing
a
commission
on
black
men
and
boys
last
september,
as
you
mentioned
since
then,
we
have
been
working
with
advocates
and
the
administration
to
ensure
that
the
commission
is
set
up
for
success.
C
A
major
hurdle
our
office
has
discussed
with
advocates
is
making
sure
that
they
are
properly
equipped
with
staff
and
a
budget
in
order
for
them
to
get
the
work
done
of
uplifting
black
men
and
boys.
Here,
the
mayor
announced
our
new
executive
director
of
the
office
of
blackmail
advancement,
and
this
amendment
to
the
ordinance
is
designed
to
align
his
work
with
the
work
of
the
commission
on
black
men
and
boys.
C
However,
due
to
the
nature
of
this
amendment,
we
attempted
to
suspend
and
pass
this
ordinance
at
a
previous
council
meeting,
but
it
was
decided
that
a
meeting
and
a
working
session
would
be
needed.
So
we
are
holding
this
meeting
to
offer
an
opportunity
for
counselors
to
ask
questions
and
suggest
any
changes
to
the
amendment
we
are
proposing.
C
A
D
Sorry
counselor,
please
forgive
the
indulgence.
I
just
wanted
to
say,
because
I
have
a
meeting
I
have
to
step
out
to
and
then
come
back.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I'm
here
in
support
of
this
measure
and
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
hear
from
the
administration.
I
think
this
is
exciting
and
I
think
it's
great
for
the
council
to
get
a
little
more
detail
on
the
scaffolding.
A
Thank
you,
counselor
bach,
and
actually,
if
anybody
else
has
to
lead
to
something
and
isn't
sure
they'll
be
there
for
the
question
answer
session
and
would
like
to
go
now,
please
just
raise
your
hand
and
I'll
go
to
you
or
if
you
have
to
leave
we'll,
take
you
out
of
order.
If
that
works
for
the
rest
of
my
council
colleagues,
just
to
sort
of
move
this
along
and
seeing
no
hands.
I
will
just
go
now
directly
to
the
administration.
B
Good
afternoon,
everyone
thank
you,
chair
arroyo
and
council
body
for
taking
time
out
to
hear
this
amendment.
My
name
is
frank
farrow.
I
am
the
recently
appointed
executive
director
of
the
office
of
blackmail
advancement
of
a
newly
created
office
by
mayor
wu
and
will
be
overseeing
the
black
men
and
boys
commission.
B
We
put
forward
this
amendment
after
discovering
some
issues
with
the
language
and
just
wanted
to
ensure
that
an
executive
director
was
named
in
the
language
in
the
current
the
current
filing
the
current
ordinance.
The
chair
has
a
as
responsibilities
of
operations
and
administration
and
overseeing
of
contracts
and
personnel
and
based
off
of
our
communication
with
the
legal
department.
B
That
is
something
that
has
to
be
the
responsibility
of
a
city,
employee
versus
the
chair
of
the
commission,
who
will
be
a
non-city
employee,
and
so
we
made
these
amendments
in
partnership
and
coordination
with
councillor
mejia.
Who
was
the
lead
sponsor
on
the
original
ordinance
to
ensure
that
we
have
the
ability
to
have
a
fully
functioning
office
in
commission
going
forward?
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
and
I
don't
believe
foreign
counselor
tito
jackson
is
here
and
so
just
to
put
it
on
the
record
so
that
people
know
what
the
change
is.
I'm
gonna
read
the
actual
amendment
that's
being
offered
currently,
as
written
is
section
1511
to
c
chair
shall
be
stricken
in
its
entirety
and
replace
with
the
following
chair.
The
mayor
shall
appoint
a
member
as
the
chairperson
of
the
commission
and
then
section
1511
2d
compensation
shall
be
stricken
in
its
entirety
and
replace
with
the
following
executive
director.
A
The
mayor
shall
appoint
an
executive
director
to
oversee
and
run
the
daily
operations
and
administration
of
the
commission,
which
shall
be
a
paid
position.
The
executive
director
shall
serve
as
the
advisor
of
the
commission
and
shall
have
the
powers
of
a
department
head
with
respect
to
the
execution
of
contracts
and
matters
of
personnel
management
within
said
office.
A
This
ordinance
shall
be
effective
upon
passage,
so
a
couple
questions
that
that
has
flagged
and
then
I'll
kick
it
to
all
the
other
counselors
president
to
say
an
opening,
as
well
as
whatever
questions
they
have.
But
I
think
part
of
the
confusion
here
is
that
there
is
an
office
of
blackmail
advancement
and
there
is
a
commission
for
black
men
and
boys,
and
this
is
this-
is
creating
an
executive
director
for
the
commission.
Correct,
correct,
okay
and
so
part
of
the
question
here.
A
Is
the
language
around
the
executive
director
commission
being
a
paid
position
is
written
in
a
way,
that's
sort
of
confusing,
and
I
just
need
clarity
as
to
whether
the
executive
director
of
the
commission
would
be
receiving
a
salary
from
the
commission
or
because
it
it's
it's.
You,
in
both
cases
as
the
office
of
blackmail
advancement,
which
which
sally
are
you
getting
or
is
that
two
salaries
is
really
what
we're.
What
I
think
some
of
the
language
here
is
a
little
confusing
right.
B
So
there
will
be
one
salary
I
will
be
paid
under
the
office
of
blackmail
advancement,
but
I
will
hold
the
title
of
executive
director
of
the
office
as
well
as
executive
director
of
the
black
men
and
boys
commission.
As
a
city
employee,
like
some
of
the
recommendation
that
comes
from
the
the
black
men
and
boys
commissions,
I'm
able
to
kind
of
spare
ahead
and
lead
as
the
office
of
black
male
advancement,
I
will
not
be
receiving
two
salaries.
I
will
only
be
compensated
for
one.
A
Is
there
ever
a
world
where
the
executive
director
of
the
commission
is
not
the
the
same
as
the
person
who
is
say,
heading
the
office
of
blackmail,
advancement,
there's
ever
a
chance
when
that's
two
different
people
and
then
in
that
situation,
provided
that
person
doesn't
have
another,
I
guess
department
head
job.
Is
that
person
being
compensated
through
the
commission.
A
Okay,
so
I
just
want
to
separate
office
of
blackmail
advancement
from
the
commission
of
black
men
and
boys,
specifically
the
commission,
black
men
and
boys,
which
is
what
this
language
this
this
amendment
is
about
for
the
commission,
not
for
the
office
of
blackmail
advancement
when
we
get
into
the
commission
itself.
Is
this
creating
a
paid
executive
director
position.
A
Okay,
all
right,
so
I
think
we
might
want
to
do
some
changes
there
that
make
that
more
clear.
I'm
going
to
go
to
the
rest
of
my
counselors,
who
are
present
and
give
them
a
chance
to
the
rest
of
my
fellow
counselors
who
are
present
and
give
them
a
chance
to
give
an
opening
statement
and
sort
of
speak
to
the
questions
they
have
before
we
get
sort
of
into
the
language,
and
so
I'm
going
to
do
that
in
order
of
arrival.
C
C
If
the
administration's
goal
is
for
the
executive
director
of
the
commission,
this
will
be
the
the
same
person
as
the
executive
director
of
the
mail
advancement.
This
person
will
be
pulling,
but
it's
not
right.
So
thank
you
for
that
clarity.
I
guess
you
know
as
a
recommendation
moving
forward.
I
would
just
like
to
strongly
recommend
that
the
administration
comes
up
with
an
an
ordinance
to
establish
an
office
of
blackmail
advancement,
which
potentially
might
be
the
best
option
to
avoid
any
confusion
like
this
in
the
future.
Or
can
we
move
forward
as
a
counselor?
A
I
I
think
we
could
codify
the
the
office
of
blackpool
advancement.
Absolutely
it's
not
a
new
department,
it
is
an
office,
but
I
also
think
there's
language
tweaks.
We
can
probably
make
to
this
amendment
that
just
clean
it
up
and
then
it
can
get
passed
as
amended
and
then
we
we
can
take
next
steps
if
we
need
them,
but
I
think
there
are
probably
ways
we
can
fix
the
language
here
to
make
more
clear
who's
getting
paid
if
they're
getting
paid.
A
F
Thank
you,
council
arroyo.
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
my
city,
council,
colleagues,
councillor
mejia
for
the
important
work
she's
done
on
this
and
in
all
of
the
city
councils
as
well.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
mayor
wolf
for
the
important
work
and
leadership
she's,
provided
I
had
a
good
couple
conversations
over
the
last
several
weeks
with
frank
farrow.
F
So
I
know
I
have
great
confidence
and
respect
for
frank
and
I
I
support
the
proposals
that
are
presented
before
us
and
glad
to
know
that
we're
making
great
progress
on
this
and
frank.
Please
know
that
whatever
the
city
council
can
do
to
be
helpful
to
you
and
in
the
committee-
and
you
know
we're
here
to
play
a
positive
role
and
be
as
helpful
as
we
possibly
can,
but
I
know
you're
going
to
do
an
exceptional
job
and
it's
been
good
working
with
you
over
the
last
over
the
last
month
as
well.
F
A
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thanks
everyone
for
being
here.
I'm
really
excited
that
we're
finally
getting
off
this
off
of
the
ground.
Thank
you
to
the
commendable
work
of
of
julia
of
former
city
councilor,
tito
jackson,
former
mayor
kim
janey
and
frank.
I'm
excited
for
you
to
be
the
one
heading
up
this
effort
so
and
I'm
excited
to
in
a
few
weeks,
since
civil
rights
will
be
having
the
working
session
for
the
application.
So
I'm
excited
for
that
as
well
a
recommended
fix.
G
This
is
another
question
I
had
so.
The
membership
shop
consists
of
21
members
and
but
members
of
city
council
are
also
selecting
some
of
those
21
members,
but
that
isn't
codified
here
in
this
language.
Is
that
language
that
we
should
codify
here
so
that
it's
clear
that
seven
of
those
members
will
be
selected
by
members
of
the
city
council
and
then
under
which
terms
of
appointment
under
section
1511.2.
B
I
would
share
that
mayor
wu
and
her
commitment
to
collaboration
with
the
city
council
offered
that
the
city
council
will
be
able
to
make
a
recommendation
of
14
members
of
which
she
would
take
seven.
So
it's
not
part
of
the
original
ordinance
or
what
was
codified.
This
is
just
an
offering
in
a
spirit
of
collaboration
on
behalf
of
mayor
wu.
I
I
think
I
don't.
I
don't
necessarily
have
a
question
and
I
could
it
could
evolve
into
a
question,
but
I
think
that
obviously
I'm
in
support
of
the
commission
and
just
wanted
to
understand
a
little
bit
more
if
there
was
a
little
bit
of
so
just
sort
of
understanding
the
structure
of
the
commission
as
it
stands
right
now,
I
had
to
step
away
and
I
just
wanted
to
hear
a
little
bit
about
where
we
stand
right
now,
so
that
I
can
ask
my
question:
if
it's,
if
it
hasn't
been
already
answered.
A
Yeah,
like
the
current,
the
current
structure
of
the
commission,
as
it's
currently
structured
to
be
done,
I
mean
we
do
we
do
have
the
original
everybody
should
have
hopefully
really
received
the
original
ordinance
that
created
the
commission,
which
sort
of
details,
all
of
that
which
should
be
in
people's
email
inboxes.
Hopefully
so
folks
can
pull
that
out,
but
just
in
terms
of
the
membership
of
the
says
21
members,
but
what
the
current
construction
of
it
is
and
how
this
changes
it.
A
If
I
understand
what
counselor
fernandez
anderson
is
asking
is
basically
how
this
changes,
the
current
format
of
the
board.
Is
that
correct
right
all
right?
So,
basically,
what's
the
current
structure,
and
how
does
this
change
that,
and
I
think
this
goes
back
to
what
you
were
trying
to
explain
about
having
the
powers
to
execute
contracts
and
things
like
that,
yeah.
B
So
the
the
current
structure
it
gives
powers
to
the
chair
of
the
commission
of
personnel,
hiring
firing
and
overseeing
contracts.
So
the
change
will
now
include
language
for
an
executive
director
which
would
be
a
city
employee
that
has
the
oversight
in
the
power
over
personnel
in
contracts
as
as
the
chair
is
going
to
be
a
non-city
employee
and,
as
I
was
informed
by
illegal,
that
they
would
not
be
able
to
execute
contracts
on
behalf
of
the
city
as
a
non-city
employee.
I
I
I
wish
that
it
was.
It
was
totally
independent,
but
I
think
that
I
must
have
missed
some
parts
of
this,
where
I
didn't
realize
that
this
is
where
we
were.
I
think
that
you
know
like
the
men's
and
boys
coalition,
and
I
don't
know
if
this
was
said
already
and
I'm
sorry
I
I
I
tried
to
be
in
hearings
and
president
and
I
had
a
call,
I'm
so
sorry
I
had
to
step
out,
but
it
it
is
what
it
is
now,
and
so
we
we
move
forward
with
that.
I
But
we
understand
that
you
know
whenever
there
is
an
agency
or
whenever
there
is
an
effort
to
provide
equity
for
marginalized
communities
in
boston,
especially
in
a
city
that
supposedly
propagates
that
they
are
that
we
are
afford
progressive,
liberal,
whatever,
and
yet
these
types
of
pretenses
are
hypocritical
to
the
actual
practices
right,
hence
systemic
racism
and
all
this
stuff.
So
we
know
why
we're
here.
I
We
know
why
we
need
it
and
then,
when
we
get
here,
people
in
their
own
agendas-
or
you
know
just
sort
of
compensative
eagles
like
they
want
to
be
able
to
be
in
spaces
and
and
object
to
a
thing,
because
they
are
feeling
threatened
that
somehow,
if
we're
fighting
systemic
racism,
it's
going
to
throw
everybody
over
their
heads.
So,
like
we're
going
to
start
fighting
people
back,
and
it's
not
that
like
to
be
able
to
do
a
commission
and
just
do
something
right.
I
It
just
means
that
there's
a
need
for
a
certain
group
of
people
and
therefore
we
do
the
right
thing
when
it's
right,
it's
right
when
it's
wrong
it's
wrong,
and
so
it's
unfortunate
that
I
think
it's
sort
of
shaped
it's
or
it
led
to
that.
But
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
I
think
that
this
administration
is
definitely
in
support
and
to
collaborate
and
see
this
through.
I
J
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
congratulations
again,
frank
on
your
on
your
executive
director,
rome
and
I'm
excited
to
to
work
with
you
in
collaboration
with
dancing
black
men,
the
boys
in
the
city
of
boston.
I
have
no
no
questions,
just
that
you
know
we're
heading
in
the
right
direction
and
I
think
the
next
step
would
be
making
sure
that
we
have
a
fully
funded
department.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
to
those
next
steps
and
to
the
action
items
that
you
put
forth.
K
Hi,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
council
arroyo
for
holding
this
meeting,
and
my
colleagues
who've
already
asked
some
great
clarifying
questions,
because
I
know
we're
here
to
kind
of
make
sure
we're
all
on
the
same
page,
but
welcome
marinelli
and
frank.
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
excited
for
your
new
role,
frank
and
the
rule
you're
in
now
marinelli.
So
no
no
specific
questions
right
now,
but
happy
to
be
on
to
listen
and
learn.
A
Thank
you,
council
murphy.
So
now,
let's
just
talk
about
how
we
make
this
thing
happen,
and
I
just
want
to
clarify
one.
One
thing
which
is
the
mayor
makes
21
selections
for
this
commission
correct.
The
mayor
ends
up
making
that
you
already
explained
in
the
spirit
of
sort
of
collaboration
she's,
allowing
the
council
to
pick
some
of
those,
but
all
21
of
them
get
officially
selected
by
the
mayor,
correct,
correct,
okay
and
then
the
executive
director
is
also
a
position
that
is
being
selected
by
the
mayor.
A
A
We
could
create
a
specific
ordinance
that
establishes
the
office
of
blackmail
advancements
and
then
makes
the
executive
director
of
that
office,
the
ex-official
member
of
the
commission,
and
that
separate
ordinance
would
be
able
to
do
the
following,
which
is
create
the
office
of
blackmail
advancement
in
a
way
that
is
codified.
We
can't
refer
to
an
office
that
isn't
codified
so
because
that
office
hasn't
been
created
through
an
ordinance.
A
We
can't
just
refer
to
it
in
a
an
amendment
because
it
doesn't
exist
in
the
books,
and
so
the
ordinance
essentially
would
create
that
office
of
blackmail
advancement.
It
would
then
create
the
position
of
an
executive
director
for
that
office,
and
then
it
would
state,
if
done
correctly,
that
the
executive
director
will
have
an
ex
officio
seat
on
the
commission,
and
that
would
probably
deal
with
a
lot
of
the
confusing
language
that
we
have
here
around
executive
director
positions
and
how
compensation
works
for
that
executive
director.
A
However,
that's
one
route
that
we
might
still
have
to
take,
but
I
think
the
other
way
we
could
do
this
is
just
by
making
a
very
simple
edit
on
the
amendment
that
was
proposed
and
that
edit,
as
I
see
it
is
the
mayor
shall
appoint
an
executive
director
which
is
all
the
original
language.
This
is
the
additional
language
of
the
black
boys
and
men's
commission
that
shall
be
an
existing
paid
employee
of
the
city
of
boston.
A
So
that's
the
additional
language
that
we
will
put
in
there
to
oversee
this.
Now
we're
going
back
to
language
that
already
exists.
This
is
already
in
the
text
amendment
we
really
just
put
in
that
one
sentence,
so
the
one
sentence
that
gets
added
is
of
the
black
boys
and
men
commission
that
she'll
be
an
existing
paid
employee
of
the
city
of
boston,
and
then
we
go
back
to
the
existing
language
right
after
that,
which
is
to
oversee
and
run
the
daily
operations
and
administration
of
the
commission.
A
A
The
executive
director
shall
serve
as
the
advisor
of
the
commission
and
shall
have
the
powers
of
the
department
head
with
respect
to
the
execution
of
contracts
and
matters
of
personnel
management
within
said
office.
The
executive
director
shall
serve
as
a
member
of
the
commission
ex
officio
and
without
additional
compensation
and
she'll
have
an
official
vote
on
matters
before
the
commission.
I
think
that
edit,
that
deletion
and
that
insertion
take
care
of
sort
of
the
confusion
that
we
have
here
about
the
double
pay
and
how
all
that's
getting
compensated
and
just
clarifies
it.
A
Obviously
we
can,
we
can
do
that
or
we
can
do
a
separate
ordinance,
like
I
said,
and
just
officialize
and
codify
the
actual
office
of
blackmail
advancement
or
we
could
do
both
frankly.
But
I
think
this
is
how
we
can
get
it
passed
on
this.
If
we
amend
that
language
in
that
way,
counselor
mihi,
I
see
your
hand
up.
A
We
make
clear
of
what
the
mayor
still
appoints
an
executive
director
of
the
black
boys
and
men
commission
that
shall
be
an
existing
paid
employee
of
the
city
of
boston
to
oversee
and
run
the
daily
operations
administration
on
the
commission,
and
we
remove
that
that
four
or
five
words
that
come
after
that
which
shall
be
paid
because
we
just
remove
that
and
then
everything
else
stays
the
same,
and
I
think
on
that
amended
version.
We
can
pass
this
as
early
as
next
week.
A
I
know
that
we
talked
we
talked
to
legal
on
our
side
and
that
language
would
work.
It's
up
to
you
all
to
have
the
administration
come
back
and
say
that
your
legal
agrees
that
this
doesn't
cause
any
unforeseen
consequences
in
the
abilities
of
the
executive
director
of
the
the
black
men
and
boys,
black
boys
and
men
commission
that
this
allows
them
to
still
do
all
the
things
they
have
to
do.
A
But
in
terms
of
the
language
that
simple
edit
of
an
insertion
of
the
sentence,
the
deletion
of
one
sort
of
not
even
like
a
half
sentence
would
allow
us
to
to
get
this
through
relatively
quickly,
and
so
I
think
that
works.
I
don't
know
if
anybody
else
has
any
opinions
on
that
or
wants
to
sort
of
clarify
anything
on
that.
But
I
know
from
our
our
legal
side,
our
central
staff
legal
folks
have
looked
at
it
that
language
works
on
our
side.
B
A
Okay,
so
that
that
should
that
should
clear
it
up
that
should
make
it
work,
we'll
we'll
submit
it
as
an
amended
version
and
it'll
get
to
the
point
of
what
you're
trying
to
do
without
creating
all
this
sort
of
extra
confusion
around
whether
or
not
there's
two
salaries.
Whether
or
not
it's
a
separate
position
from
something
that
the
mayor
is
going
to
do
right.
It
does
all
of
all
of
those
things,
and
I
don't
know
if
anybody
else
has
anything
they
want
to
add
to
that.
C
A
Thank
you
all,
and
I
just
want
to
just
make
clear
because
I
haven't
yet,
but
I
support
this
work.
Obviously
I
want
this
to
succeed
once
this
gets
done
in
terms
of
the
amendment.
The
next
step
is
the
budget
and
making
sure
that
the
offices
have
the
resources
and
the
commission
have
the
resources
to
do
what
they
have
to
do,
and
so
we'll
keep
an
eye
on
that.
But
this
simple
legal
sort
of
language
fix
to
clarify
this,
so
that
it's
it's
very
clear.
A
What
we're
trying
to
do
here
and
it
doesn't
leave
any
gray
areas
or
unintended
consequences.
I
think,
are
really
important,
and
so,
if
your
side
agrees
to
it,
which
it
sounds
like
they
have,
our
side
has
looked
at
it
and
we'll
put
forward
that
amended
version
and
likely
will
come
up
for
a
vote
this
wednesday
after
the
committee
report.
A
K
A
The
city
work
leads
to
no
weekends,
but
yes,
I
appreciate
you
all
for
coming
in
with
thoughtful
sort
of
a
look
at
this,
and
so
there's
there's
that
if
anybody
else
wants
to
say
anything,
I'm
gonna
I'll
open
the
floor
to
any
counselor
who
wants
to
add
a
comment
or
speak.
Otherwise,
I'm
just
going
to
adjourn
this
because
I
think
we've
we've
gotten
the
language
that
we
need
to
make
this
work,
I'm
seeing
no
hands.
I'm
going
to
adjourn
this.
Thank
you,
mr
farrell.
A
I
appreciate
you
both
for
taking
the
time
to
be
helpful
here
and
answer
questions,
and
thank
you
to
my
council
colleagues,
as
always
for
for
being
thoughtful
and
also
thank
you
to
christine
o'donnell
who
helped
with
this
language
and
sort
of
identified
the
issues
and
how
we
could
fix
them.
So
thank
you
to
our
central
staff.
As
always.
So
thank
you
all
and
with
that,
this
meeting
is
adjourned.
