Description
Swearing-in of Councilor Althea Garrison
A
B
A
Madam
President
I've
been
informed
by
the
clerk
that
a
quorum
is
present
at
this
time.
I
would
like
all
guests
and
colleagues
and
staff
to
please
rise.
A
councillor
Flynn
we'll
bring
our
clergy
up
for
the
day.
Who
do
the
invocation
I
asked
all
guests
to
remain
standing
during
the
invocation
and
then
to
remain
standing
after
that
as
councillor
Flynn
leads
us
through
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance
councillor
flame.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
It's
an
honor
for
me
to
introduce
someone
that
I
have
great
respect
and
admiration
for
to
open
this
session.
Up
with
with
the
prayer,
Katy
Cole
is
the
associate
pastor
of
the
fourth
Presbyterian
Church
in
South
Boston.
This
church
does
incredible
work
in
helping
so
many
people,
especially
the
poor,
our
immigrant
community,
fighting
for
social
and
economic
justice
being
there
for
a
homeless.
E
We
pray
for
children
whose
lives
have
been
torn
by
gun
violence
whose
parents
are
away
in
prisons
and
in
detention
centers
whose
families
are
ravaged
by
the
diseases
of
addiction.
All
of
these
children.
We
lift
up
to
you
O,
God
and
sometimes
in
moments
of
your
grace.
We
remember
that,
though
we
consider
ourselves
leaders
counselors
commissioners,
mayor's
grown-ups
in
your
eyes.
E
God
we
are
but
children,
and
so
we
pray
that
you
restore
to
us
a
childlike
sense
of
wonder,
curiosity
and
creativity
that,
as
we
go
about
the
work
of
serving
our
city,
you
restore
to
us
our
god-given
imaginations
to
see
new
ways
forward
so
that
all
children
may
thrive
here.
God
we
meet
you
in
the
faces
of
our
neighbors
and
we
know
you
by
many
names.
I
pray
to
you
in
the
name
of
Jesus,
amen,.

A
F
Thank
You
Madame
president
interview
to
the
members
of
the
City
Council
I,
want
to
wish
everyone
a
very
happy
New
Year
to
the
the
guests
and
staff
that
are
here
today.
I
want
to
wish
you
a
Happy,
New
Year
as
well
to
the
councillor
elect
I,
want
to
congratulate
you
on
this
election
and
congratulate
you
on
today's
exciting
day
in
swearing
in
the
council,
elected
sheriff
one
term
in
the
Massachusetts
House
of
Representatives.
So
this
is
not
her
first
wearing
it.
F
So
is
your
second
swearing
in
and
I
just
like
to
say
to
the
council
that
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you,
particularly
the
first
part
of
this
year
on
a
report
that
was
just
given
from
the
Boston
Fire
Department
and
our
public
safety
officials
and
taking
that
report
very
seriously.
I
know
that
today
there
was
some
conversation
about
how
this
happened
before
in
the
past,
and
nothing
has
been
done.
F
That
was
a
different
era,
a
different
different
elected
body,
a
different
City
Council,
the
different
mayor's
office,
a
different
commissioner
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
each
and
every
one
of
you
directly
in
through
the
president's
office.
To
address
the
concerns
of
our
female
firefighters
and
of
all
our
public
safety
officials
in
the
calm
in
this
in
the
city
of
Boston,
so
I
just
want
to
say
there
say
that
first
and
now
I
would
like
to
also
want
to
administer
the
oath
of
office
to
you.
So
if
you
would,
please
raise
your
right
hand.
G
G
G
F
F
G
G
G
Also
I
would
like
to
thank
the
voters
of
West
Roxbury
Rosendale
High
Park
Roxbury
Dorchester,
not
apeun,
as
well
as
voters
of
South
Boston
Charlestown,
the
South
End
North
End
East
Boston
and
Austin
Brian
I'm
grateful
for
your
vote
during
the
municipal
election
of
2017.
For
those
of
you
who
are
wondering
whether
I
will
be
running
for
reelection.
The
answer
is
yes.
I
will
be
running
for
re-election
this
year.
G
There's
a
lot
of
work
that
needs
to
be
done
as
well
as
creating
real,
affordable
housing.
That
is
one
of
the
key
issues
that
I
would
like
to
work
on.
Some
form
of
rent
control
and
evictions
without
calls
is
terrible,
and
we
need
to
put
an
end
to
that.
My
top
priorities
are
senior
citizens
and
addressing
the
problem
of
homeless
veterans
in
which
ideally
and
compassionately
care
about.
Thank
you
for
being
here
and
god
bless.
G
A
As
councillor
garrison
takes
her
seat
III
on
behalf
of
the
entire
City
Council,
of
course,
want
to
welcome
councillor
garrison
to
the
council.
We've
had
many
conversations
and
I
know
she's
ready
to
get
to
work,
and
each
of
us
are
ready
to
partner
in
the
work
with
her
and
like
she
said,
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and
since
the
mayor
mentioned
it
not
just
with
respect
to
the
fire
department
because
as
much
work
to
be
done,
there,
public
safety
agencies,
you
name
it.
A
The
list
is
long
and,
of
course
the
council
is
dedicated
and
ready
to
get
to
work.
So,
of
course,
some
I
want
to
thank
councilor
garrison
again
for
running
having
having
the
courage
to
run
and
for
agreeing
to
serve.
I
also
want
to
extend
another
Happy
New
Year
to
my
councillors.
All
of
you
welcome
back
here
we
go.
This
is
going
to
be
a
great
year
and
we
look
forward
to
working
as
a
collective
to
move
this
city
forward
for
all
of
our
residents
across
the
entire
city
of
Boston.
So
thank
you
at
this
time.
A
I
H
H
There
are
some
people
actually
in
this
building
who
never
knew
that
Maureen
and
Jim
were
married
because
of
the
different
names.
So
it
was
a
really
a
scandalous
affair
for
the
last
25
years
in
the
building.
I
just
wanted
to
bring
them
up.
I
have
two
citations
certificate
of
official
resolutions
from
the
city
of
Boston,
there's
a
bunch
of
we're
asses
all
about
their
entire
lives,
but
I'm
just
going
to
go
a
little
off
the
cuff
here
you
know:
they've
been
friends
of
high
Park
for
over
45
years.
H
They
have
two
wonderful
kids
and
you
know
they've
done
so
much
for
the
community
they're
both
of
their
families
have
been
involved
with
so
many
years.
Jim
used
to
run
would
18
for
the
previous
for
the
previous
mayor
and
I.
Remember
many
a
time
getting
called
up
to
run
into
his
kitchen
and
give
them
numbers
and
all
that
good
stuff,
I
remember
getting
the
phone
calls
from
either
Maureen
or
Jim,
saying
hey
we're
having
to
stand
out
tomorrow
morning
and
I'm
taking
attendance,
so
you
might
want
to
go
to
that.
One
I
remember
those
days.
H
H
And
between
Maureen
being
in
Mis
and
in
the
auditing
Department
before
that
in
and
Jim
being
the
deputy
and
BTD
working
under
a
bunch
of
different
commissioners
and
Jim
was
always
that
that
Rotter,
that
kept
the
ship
straight
and
PTD
and
he's
just
been
a
great
friend
both
have
been
great
friends
to
highpockets.
Certainly
a
great
friend
to
me
so
I,
don't
know
which
one
of
you
want
to
jump
up
to
the
mic.
But
yeah
I
didn't
think
it's
gonna
be
Maureen.
But
congratulations
on
50
years
in
a
wonderful
retirement.
H
J
Think
the
both
of
us
are
gonna
leave
with
mixed
emotions,
because
we've
gotten
to
meet
so
many
nice
people,
both
within
the
building
within
city
government
across
the
communities
in
the
neighborhoods.
It
truly
is
one
of
the
most
advantageous
positions
a
person
could
be
in
is
to
be
so
close
to
the
people
that
are
being
served
by
government
when
you're
at
the
municipal
government
level,
we've
developed
great
friendships,
but
right
now
we
want
to
rest
relax
travel
a
little
bit
more
and
most
importantly,
take
naps
whenever
we
feel
like
it.
J
Thank
you
very
much
to
everybody
in
the
room
and
those
who
couldn't
make
it.
We
greatly
appreciate
your
friendship
and
you'll,
probably
see
us
around
complaining
at
a
neighborhood
meeting
and
thank
you,
I
have
to
say
this
mayor,
Walsh,
welcomed
me
and,
and
and
and
Maureen,
and
to
the
new
family
that
got
established
in
City
Hall
and
we're
forever
indebted
to
the
people
who
have
led
the
city
for
being
so
gracious
to
us
and
giving
us
the
opportunities.
J
F
She
has
provided
to
countless
numbers
of
people
at
the
call:
Malta
Massachusetts
Division
of
Insurance,
the
office
of
the
Secretary
of
State,
the
Boston
Public
Schools,
the
department
of
innovation
and
technology
and,
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Boston,
I,
want
to
congratulate
you
on
your
retirement.
In
your
extraordinary
career.
Invest
wishes
for
continued
success
and
I
just
want
to
take
a
minute
for
Jim
I
got
sworn
in
in
January
of
2014.
F
At
that
time,
a
lot
of
people
left
the
administration
to
go
on
to
do
other
things.
I
did
not
have
a
transportation
person.
Commissioner
there
was
didn't
know
who
was
gonna
go
into
transportation.
Somebody
had
suggested
Jim,
Gillooly
I
had
a
conversation
with
Jim
and
he
ran
that
department
for
a
long
time
anyway,
in
that
department,
with
distinction
with
honor
a
true
true
public
servant
and
I
want
to
thank
both
Jim
Maureen
for
their
service
to
the
public.
Oftentimes
public
servants
don't
get
to
create
the
praise
or
the
credit
for
what
they
do.
F
A
Thank
you
and
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
representative
Russell
Holmes
was
here
as
well
for
Althea,
Garrison's,
swearing-in
and
I
also
I,
think
congressman
Presley
is
still
in
votes,
but
wanted
to
send
her
a
letter
to
congratulate
Althea
garrison.
She
did
personally
call
to
extend
her
congratulations
to
you.
She
wants
to
be
a
partner
in
this
work
and
so
I
apologize
for
not
saying
that
earlier,
but
please
consider
her
partner
in
the
work
and
I
want
to
thank
congressman.

very
small
grant.
It's
3,700
$26
in
the
form
of
a
grant
for
staff
and
administration
expenses
for
the
City
Hall
child
care
center.
N
It's
a
grant
from
the
USDA
for
the
daycare
center,
which
is
we
know,
is
also
a
b
c
YF
facility
grant
will
be
used
for
day-to-day
supplies
in
the
center,
as
well
as
to
support
the
incredible
men
and
women
who
work
down
there.
So
I
ask
my
colleagues
to
given
the
the
small
nature
of
the
grant.
I
don't
think
a
hearing
is
necessary
and
if
we
can
just
vote
to
accept
and
expend,
we
can
make
sure
that
money
gets
put
to
good
use.

A
O
You,
madam
president,
this
is
a
refil
that,
from
towards
the
latter
part
of
2018,
to
allow
early
voting,
which
we've
seen
so
successfully
in
our
state
and
federal
elections
to
occur
in
our
municipal
election.
We
just
talked
about
the
election
results
and
turnout
numbers
and
how
important
it
is
that
everyone
has
a
voice
here
in
City,
Hall
and
in
our
government.
O
P
P
We
know
that
Boston
is
the
birthplace
of
democracy
and
it
should
be
leading
in
this
area.
Early
voting
is
very
popular.
We've
had
good
success
in
our
state
elections.
If
we
look
back
to
2016,
which
was
a
presidential
year
over
44,000
people
cast
their
votes
early
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Just
last
year
in
2018
we
had
a
governor's
race
and
nearly
30,000
Bostonians
took
advantage
of
early
voting.
P
P
This
is
particularly
important
to
me
as
someone
who
has
been
fighting
for
voting
rights
access
as
a
founding
board
member
of
mass
vote,
who
does
amazing
work
in
this
area
and
just
as
an
african-american
woman
who
has
heard
stories
from
her
parents
and
grandparents
about
the
difficulties
of
voting
in
this
country,
given
that
it
is
2019
a
new
year.
It
is
time
that
we
take
advantage
of
the
technology
that
we
have
before
us
and
make
voting
more
accessible
and
so
I'm
very
pleased
to
offer
this
with
councillors
a
command
with
you,
Madam
President.
A
Thank
You
councillor
Janey
and
Thank
You
councillor
Zakim
for
the
partnership.
I,
don't
need
to
add
anything
else,
but
that
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
as
well
as
our
colleagues
to
actually
get
this
passed
at
the
Statehouse,
but
I
think
we're
gonna
see
a
lot
of
homeroom
petitions
this
year,
and
so
how
do
we
come
together
to
make
sure
that
they
actually
do
something
with
them
up
there?
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
partnership
on
this
important
legislation
at
this
time.
Anyone
want
to
speak
on
this
matter.
Add
their
name,
madam
clerk.
B
O
O
It's
about
the
use
and,
in
my
view,
and
many
of
my
neighbors
view,
overuse
of
our
public
ways:
streets
in
the
downtown
neighborhoods
for
parades,
Road,
races,
5ks,
10ks,
half
marathons,
National,
Realtors,
races,
national,
whatever
organization
happens
to
be
in
town
races,
often
on
the
weekends,
often
in
the
middle
of
the
day,
that
I
believe
put
an
undue
burden
on
folks
in
these
neighborhoods,
not
only
because
many
of
these
are
not
properly
advertised
the
way
the
marathon
is.
Everyone
knows
when
the
Boston
Marathon
is
everyone's
excited
about
it.
O
People
in
the
neighborhood
are
excited
about
the
walk
for
hunger,
things
that
have
a
long
tradition
in
our
community.
We
welcome
and
we
want
to
continue
working
to
enhance.
However,
there's
been
a
proliferation
over
the
last
several
years
after
a
moratorium
in
the
prior
administration
of
granting
of
too
many
permits
for
these
races
without
notice
to
residents,
without
really
a
view
on
the
impact
I
hear
from
folks
who
can't
get
their
kids
to
piano
lessons
who
can't
get
themselves
to
doctor's
appointments
because
roads
are
closed
and
we
need
to
do
better
on
this.
O
So
I
look
forward
to
having
a
hearing
with
the
Transportation
Department,
the
mayor's
office,
the
police
department
and
folks
from
these
neighborhoods.
It's
particularly
an
issue
in
the
Back
Bay,
but
it
extends
to
Beacon
Hill
to
Fenway,
to
many
of
our
downtown
neighborhoods,
to
find
a
solution
here,
whether
that's
a
legislative
solution
or
that's,
a
policy
change
we
can
work
out
with
the
administration
is
something
that
we
will
work
on
in
this
hearing.
I
look
forward
to
having
this
hearing
quickly
before
we
get
into
the
spring
when
more
of
these
events
are
permitted.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Please
have
my
name.
A
very
similar
situation
happened
when
the
Esplanade
had
shut
down
council
fun
and
I
our
neighborhood
there's
overrun
with
world
races
and
5ks
every
single
weekend.
So
just
all
the
issues
that
our
colleague
sounds
as
they
can
then
Express
were
the
concerns
that
our
community
had
talked
about.
So
we
had
a
sit-down
alarbus
with
the
city
officials,
but
also
state
DC,
our
folks
as
well,
to
try
to
find
an
accommodating
schedule
that
allows
some
of
these
races
to
continue
and
there
for
very
important
and
charitable
causes.
Q
But
there
is
a
significant
impact
to
the
directly
impacted
community,
so
I
I
feel
what
the
district
my
district
colleague
is
going
through
and
I'd
love
to
add
my
name
on
to
it
and
see
if
we
could
make
some
sense
of
it
and
have
designated
areas
where
we're
having
those
events,
but
also
give
some
neighborhoods
a
break.
There
are
other
neighborhoods
that
would
obviously
love
to
host
events
and
and
have
an
infusion
of
some
foot
traffic
and
and
have
their
folks
hide
dollars
spent
in
that
neighborhood.
Q
But
it
just
seems
that
it's
always
coming
down
to
one
or
two
neighborhoods
that
are
really
bearing
the
burden
for
every
single
event
and
in
the
town
and
I
think
that
we
we
need
to
find
a
more
equitable
way
to
to
disperse
know,
but
also
bring
some
relief
to
the
residents
that
are
trying
to
raise
their
families
and
get
to
appointments
and
stuff
like
that,
so
look
forward
to
an
expedited
hearing.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
A
D
Madam
president
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
council
Edwards
as
well
for
agreeing
to
sponsor
this
with
me.
Councillor
Edwards
I
know
she'll
talk
about
it,
but
she
comes
from
a
military
family,
so
she
I
know
very
well
that
she
understands
the
concerns
military
families
going
through
right
now
with
the
government
shutdown.
D
This
has
been
going
on
Madam
President
for
three
weeks
and
although
the
VA
budget
is
not
impacted
at
this
time,
there
are
programs
for
veterans
that
will
be
impacted,
such
as
Housing
and
Urban
Development,
as
a
program
similar
to
the
section
8
program.
But
it's
a
voucher
program
for
veterans
through
HUD
called
Vash
at
some
point.
They
met
that
may
be
discontinued
because
of
the
government
shutdown.
And
what
do
we
say
to
these
veterans,
these
military
families
that
are
no
longer
able
to
pay
their
rent
to
this
voucher
program?
D
The
US
Department
of
Labor
also
has
a
job
training
program
for
veterans.
It's
out
of
the
employment
and
training
program
at
Department
of
Labor
and
some
of
the
job
training
programs
for
returning
veterans
will
also
be
impacted
by
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
congressman
Stephen
Lynch
over
the
weekend,
along
with
council
of
clarity,
and
we
talked
about
some
of
the
concerns
we
have
about
the
federal
government
shutdown
and
how
it
impacts
veterans,
how
it
impacts.
Military
families
and
I
also
had
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
a
representative
from
Senator
Warren's
office
recently
recently
as
well.
D
Another
concern
I
have,
it
may
not
be
part
of
this
hearing,
but
the
u.s.
Coast
Guard
they're
working
right
now
and
they're
not
getting
paid
in
all
of
the
all
of
the
public
safety
on
the
harbor
is
done
by
the
Coast
Guard.
If
there's
a
problem
on
your
boat
who
comes
to
rescue
you,
it's
the
Coast
Guard,
so
these
hard-working
men
and
women
are
working
and
they're
not
getting
paid.
That's
that's
very
unfair.
D
D
But
what
we
ask
a
lot
for
our
veterans.
We
ask
a
lot
for
our
military
families
and,
at
the
same
time,
we
have
a
federal
government
under
under
the
president
that
is
shutting
down
the
government
hurting
so
many
people,
so
many
people
that
really
need
government
to
survive.
So
I
think
it's
a
it's
an
important
issue
for
the
City
Council
to
focus
on
again
I'm
glad
to
partner
with
my
colleague,
consul
Edwards.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
M
You
very
much
Madam
President
I
do
want
to
thank
my
colleague
from
South
Boston
councillor
Flynn,
for
inviting
me
to
be
part
of
this
conversation
and
helping
to
have
what
I
think
would
be
a
robust
hearing.
I
honestly,
truly
hope
we
don't
have
to
have
the
hearing
as
in
the
shutdown,
maybe
we'll
be
over
by
the
time.
We
need
to
call
for
it,
but
in
as
much
as
we
will
have
to
have
that
it's
I
think
this
conversation
is
important,
that
we
take
that
a
granular
view
of
looking
at
how
veterans
are
directly
impacted.
M
It's
true.
The
overall
budget
right
now
isn't
been
touched,
but
the
fact
that
matter
is
veterans
need
various
services
from
all
different
areas
and
levels
of
government
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
every
single
one
of
those
services
that
they
that
they
fought
hard
to
earn
and
and
have
is
it
readily
available
to
them.
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know.
M
My
colleague
touched
on
the
fact
that
the
the
that
there
is
a
shutdown
due
to
the
presidential
due
to
our
president
I
just
find
it
irony
ironic,
actually
that
the
president
is
is
hurting
people
to
hurt
people.
We
have
folks
who
are
at
the
border.
We
have
an
immigration
issue
and
he's
hurting
Americans
to
hurt
immigrants
or
people
who
are
trying
to
come
into
the
country
and
I.
M
A
You
counselor
Edwards
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
or
add
their
name.
Madam
Clerk,
if
you
could
add
counselor,
co-moh
counselor,
sabe,
Jorge,
counselor,
Janie,
counselor,
Flaherty,
counselor,
McCarthy
counsel,
O'malley,
counselor,
rule
counselors
a
come
as
well
as
the
chair,
docket
zero.
One.
Three
two
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
city
and
neighborhood
services
and
veterans
and
military
affairs.
B
D
You,
madam
president,
this
is
a
refil
I
will
I
will
be
brief
and
try
to
highlight
some
of
the
main
points.
Last
year
there
was,
there
was
a
dog
that
was
electrocuted
from
stray
voltage.
It's
happened
several
times
over
the
last
ten
years
we
had.
We
had
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
the
chief
of
streets,
Osgood,
the
Department
of
Public
Works
eversource,
the
city's
Animal
Control
in
Massachusetts
Society
Prevention
of
Cruelty
to
Animals
I
know.
D
Some
of
my
colleagues
were
at
the
at
the
at
the
hearing
as
well
for
my
discussion
last
year
with
officials
from
Department
of
Public
Works.
It
is
my
understanding
that
the
city
of
Boston
contains
old
electric
cabinets
and
during
the
winter
months,
as
we
will
see
soon
with
the
with
the
snow
on
the
ground,
the
ground
and
the
proximity
of
infrastructure
can
become
saturated
in
mixed
with
salts
used
to
help
clear
the
city's
roads
in
sidewalks.
D
When
that
happens,
this
combination
will
allow
the
ground
and
the
salts
it
can
corrode
wiring
in
grounding
lugs
to
present
conditions
where
tragic
events
like
this
can't
can
can't
occur.
I
think
the
city
of
Boston
is
doing
good
work
on
this
issue.
Certainly
we
we
can
do
more,
including
public
service
announcements,
but
it
is.
D
My
goal
met
a
president
to
reconvene
another
working
session
with
the
appropriate
people
in
city
departments
and
come
up
with
another
plan
to
come
up
with
another
public
service
announcement
moving
forward,
how
we
can
limit
the
opportunity
for
dogs
to
be
electrocuted
I
know
I.
Would
we
have
I?
Have
a
dog
and
I'd
be
devastated
and
my
wife
and
two
children
would
be
devastated
if
something
ever
happened
to
to
our
dog
I
know
how
most
dog
owners
feel
so
I
think
it's
an
important
issue.
D
A
Thank
You
councillor
Flynn
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
add
their
name,
madam
Clerk.
If
you
could
add

councillor,
Edwards
council,
flirty,
councillor,
Janey,
council,
McCarthy,
councillor,
asabi,
George,
council,
Molly,
Keller,
whoo
councillors,
a
cup
as
well
as
the
chair,
docket

zero.

Three
three
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on

Neighborhood,
Services
veterans
and
military
affairs.
M
Regarding
linkage,
specifically,
as
you
know,
it's
a
development
impact
fund.
It's
it's
one
in
which
we
are
acknowledging
that,
as
we
are
building
luxury
as
we're
building
more
units
that,
in
many
cases,
there's
a
negative
impact
on
a
lot
of
our
neighborhoods
and
as
a
result,
these
funds
are
meant
to
be
a
form
of
mitigation.
But
unfortunately,
in
many
cases
they
have
not
been
updated
and
and
certainly
haven't,
been
kept
up
with
inflation
for
many
many
years.
Well,
there's
an
8%
increase,
that's
been
allowed.
M
Many
administrations
have
forgotten
that
increase
and
have
not
done
it
until
very
recently,
with
the
mayor's
administration
doing
just
one
increase
of
8
percent,
which
is
allowed
by
the
statute.
So
what
this
linkage
this
hormone
petition
does
is
it
will
adopt
if
passed,
the
recommendations
from
the
linkage?
Nexus.
M
Excuse
me,
the
linkage
Nexus
group
that
had
several
recommendations,
including
possibly
updating
our
linkage
to
as
high
as
twenty
four
dollars
a
square
foot,
but
but
and
also
linking
it
to
the
Consumer
Price
Index
and
also
making
sure
that
it
is
regularly
updated
automatically
to
assure
that
we
don't
have
to
wait
for
people
or
an
administration
to
think
it's
okay.
At
that
point
to
update
the
linkage.
The
point
is
that
as
we
grow,
we
should
this
should
not
be
a
continued
debate.
M
This
is
a
mitigation
fund
that
should
be
growing
with
us
and
that
it
should
be
automatic,
and
so
I
hope
that
my
colleagues
will
join
me
in
supporting
this
I
know
it
needs
some
work.
I
know
we're.
Gonna
have
to
get
down
granular,
get
to
the
numbers
and
making
sure
we
balance
the
interests
of
a
growing
city
developers,
tenants
and
homeowners,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
think
and
I
understand
that
we
do
want
to
make
sure
our
city
is
growing
equitably
and
that
we
are
providing
the
funds
for
more
housing.
M
A
You

A
M
N
You,
madam
president,
I
rise
to
thank
my
partners
on
this.
The
district
counts
from
East
Boston,
the
at-large
from
Roslindale.
Just
very
briefly,
when
we
had
introduced
this
last,
probably
I'd
say
early
winter
late
fall.
I
had
noted
that
our
Bella
had
calculated.
There
was
about
6.2
trillion
dollars
in
assets
under
management
that
had
divested
from
fossil
fuels
company
worldwide.
Since
that
time
we're
talking
about
over
two
months.
N
That
number
is
at
now
eight
trillion
dollars
so
simply
put
I'm
a
bit
of
a
broken
record
when
I
say
every
environmental
steward
or
every
fiscal
conservative
ought
to
be
an
environmental
steward
as
well,
because
clean
energy
is
outperforming
traditional
fossil
fuels
in
the
stock
market
by
a
two-to-one
ratio.
So
by
doing
this
to
know
this
is
just
one
piece
of
it:
we're
not
only
doing
what's
right
and
sending
a
positive
message,
we're
also
delivering
better
returns
for
our
for
our
pensioners.
So
thank
you
again
to
my
colleagues
for
their
partnership
on
this
Thank.
D
You,
madam
president,
I
I,
want
to
thank
and
recognize
the
councillors
that
called
for
this
hearing.
I
think
it's
important
I,
remember
in
the
in
the
early
80s
during
the
the
racist
government
in
South,
Africa
Boston
invested
money
in
South
Africa
at
that
time,
and
Boston
became
the
first
city
and
it
was
84
or
85.
Boston
became
the
first
city
to
divest
to
take
the
money
outside
of
the
South
African
government
for
a
city
in
the
country.
D
In
fact,
after
Mandela,
when
he
was
released
from
prison,
the
first
city
he
visited
was
Boston
because
of
Boston's
historic
step
of
divesting
money
from
a
racist
government,
so
I'm
glad
to
I'm
glad
these
these
sponsors
are
taking
this
initiative.
I
think
it's
an
important
issue
and
I'm
glad
to
support
it.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
A
R
You,
madam
president,
this
is
a
refile
as
well
I.
Think
we're
close
on
this.
One
I
want
to
thank
house
for
clarity
for
having
a
hearing
on
this
squeezed
to
do
at
the
end
of
the
year
and
we
heard
from
groups
are
concerned,
but
this
is
what
apply
to
city
workers
and
employees
of
companies
directly
contracting
with
the
city
to
ensure
that
we're
giving
them
the
fundamental
baseline
for
family
stability,
which
is
a
predictable
schedule.
R
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
in
this
version
of
the
ordinance
again,
the
broad
idea
is
that
residents
should
have
a
way
to
directly
shape
the
City
Council
agenda
and
bring
ideas
before
us
through
a
petitioning
process
that
several
cities
in
Massachusetts
already
offer
with
the
council
guaranteeing
a
hearing
on
a
topic
that
a
certain
number
of
residents
have
asked
for
within
a
certain
period
of
time.
Their
work
and
I.
Think
most
of
the
concerns
were
about
the
elections,
Department's
ability
to
keep
up
with
certifying
signatures,
particularly
during
election
season.
R
When
there's
a
lot
going
on
the
language
now,
instead
of
in
taking
recommendations
from
some
colleagues
instead
of
breaking
it
up
and
saying,
there's
a
priority
filing
period
or
this,
and
that
we
just
add
language
that
when
the
election
department
is
certifying
for
an
election
there's
a
period
of
time
in
which
this
would
not
apply.
So
if
there's
a
special
election
for
example,
or
something
else
that
comes
up,
this
ordinance
would
always
be
in
line
with
their
ability
to
participate.
Thank.
A
R
You
sorry
almost
at
this
time
is
again
thanks
to
councillor
flirty.
We
had
the
initial
hearing
and
it
was
a
great
conversation
with
a
big
coalition
about
how
we
can
squeeze
value
out
of
taxpayer
dollars
by
looking
at
the
whole
food
supply
chain
and
attaching
some
language
to
our
food
procurement
process.
A
D
You,
madam
president,
I,
want
to
say
thank
you
to
council
wolf
for
sponsoring
this
order.
All
Boston
residents
deserve
access
to
fresh,
affordable,
healthy
food.
This
proposed
ordinance
seeks
to
connect
neighbors,
neighborhoods,
small
businesses
in
local
farms
to
create
jobs
in
the
food
processing
and
distribution
industry,
as
well
as
to
increase
access
to
products
grown
locally
and
in
Massachusetts.
I
was
walking
up
Beacon
Street
earlier,
and
there
was
a
rally
out
in
front
of
the
Statehouse,
and
they
were
also
talking
about
this
this
issue,
but
they
were.
D
They
also
highlighted
that
some
of
these
nutritional
programs
are
being
cut
now
because
of
the
federal
government
shutdown,
so
I
think
making
sure
that
the
poor
and
the
needy
and
our
families
have
access
to
healthy
foods
is
a
priority
for
any
type
of
government.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
council
wolf
for
her
leadership
on
this
issue.
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
Thank.
A
You
councillor
Flynn,
madam
clerk,
if
you
could
add
councillor
Flynn's
name
as
well
as
councillor
co-moh
councillor
Edwards
councillor
savvy
George,
councillor
Flaherty,
councillor
Janey,
councillor,
McCarthy,
Council,
Malley
councillors
a
come
as
well
as
the
chair,
docket
zero
one.
Three
nine
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
government
operations.
R
A
R
You
this
is
a
hearing
order
that
we
didn't
get
to
have
the
hearing
on
last
year,
but
on
a
really
important
matter
that
is
relevant
at
the
state
level
as
well
as
the
city
level.
Boston
pays
an
annual
assessment
to
the
MBTA
every
year
in
FY
2018.
This
was
almost
86
million
dollars.
They
demand
it,
we
pay
it.
No
questions
asked
and
we
have
no
say
whatsoever
about
how
services
happened.
R
Councillor
McCarthy,
I
think
also
Malley
are
their
districts
and
where
I
live,
our
neighborhoods
have
been
left
out
on
the
commuter
rail
side,
from
equitable
fares
and
throughout
the
city.
Buses
are
crowded,
services
going
down
and
people
are
opting
away
from
transit.
So,
whereas
the
state
you
know
when
they,
when
the
city
is
owed,
money
from
the
state,
for
example,
in
charter
reimbursements
or
other
matters,
they
can
under
fund
that
line
item
the
city
of
Boston
never
gets
a.
R
We
pay
up
fully
as
we
are
obligated
to,
and
so
this
is
about
having
some
direct
conversation
about
where
our
money
goes,
that
we're
paying
in
a
lot
every
year,
as
well
as
the
future
governance
structure
of
the
T.
When
the
fiscal
management
and
Control
Board
was
put
into
place
after
the
horrific
winter
T
shut
down
in
25th
2014
into
15
the
cities
and
towns
that
the
T
serves
used
to
have
a
vote
on
the
T
budget
and
that
vote
was
eliminated.
R
The
FMC
B
now
replaces
that
that
structure
in
Boston
doesn't
have
an
appointment,
doesn't
have
the
ability
to
have
direct,
say
that
structure
was
supposed
to
be
for
three
years
with
the
potential
to
extend
it
for
two
years
which
they
took.
So
it
expires
in
2020
2021,
and
we
need
to
talk
about
how
Boston
has
a
say
after
that,
whether
it's
a
vote
you
know
back
on
the
budget
or
a
seat
on
the
board
we
need
to
be
able
to.
This
is
our
residents.
R
Q
Forth,
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
true
you'd.
Think
thanks
to
counsel
who
for
her
effort,
and
also
for
including
us
on
this
I
know
that
it's
alarming
that
we're
spending
eighty
five
point,
eight
million,
which
makes
up
half
of
the
local
assessments
and
we
don't
have
a
seat
and
a
vote
on
the
MBTA
budget
or
a
seat
in
the
fiscal
management
control
board.
So
I
echo,
the
comments
of
previous
speaker
in
lead,
sponsor
I,
know
that
residents
routinely
lament
about
the
sub
power
experience
on
the
MBTA,
calling
it
unreliable,
overcrowded,
inconvenient.
Q
Furthermore,
people
from
the
environmental
standpoint
don't
want
any
more
buses
and
fumes
so
which
which
very
timely
Cromwell
magazine
article
and
I,
encourage
you
all
to
read
that
the
VRA
is
of
the
opinion
that
people
are
driving
less
and
people
don't
own
cars
and
yet
they're
approving
projects.
At
one
point
there
was
point
0.8
over
okay,
you
drive
a
full
car,
has
four
wheels,
has
two
doors
in
your
roommate?
Q
Finally,
glad
that
we
have
some
support
through
the
comic
magazine,
so
I
look
forward
to
the
public
hearing
to
bring
about
a
bigger
voice
for
Boston
on
the
MBTA
budget,
piece
of
it,
as
is
outlined
by
the
lead,
sponsor,
but
also
take
a
real
hard
look
at
the
service
and
the
reason
while
people
people
are
abandoning
the
MBTA
service
and
opting
for
car
ownership
and
or
driving
themselves
to
and
from
work
and
appointments.
Thank
You
manifest
Thank.
S
A
Thank
You
councillor
sabi
George.
Anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
add
their
name.
Madam
Clerk,
if
you
could
add
councillor
Flynn
councillor
garrison
councillor
Janey
councillor,
McCarthy
councillor,
Malley
councillor
Zakim
councillor
co-moh,
did
you
raise
your
hand,
concerns
councillor
Edwards
as
well
as
the
chair
jacket,
zero
one.
Four
zero
will
be
assigned
to
a
committee
on
Planning
development
and
transportation.
S
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I
rise.
This
is
a
refil
with
some
edits
in
December.
At
the
last
school
committee
meeting
in
of
2018,
a
vote
took
place
that
determined
the
future
of
two
highschool
communities:
the
West
Roxbury
education,
complex
home
to
West,
Roxbury,
Academy
and
urban
Science
Academy.
They
will
be
closing
at
the
end
of
this
school
year.
All
but
one
of
our
school
committee
members
voted
in
favor
of
this
effort.
This
vote
was
an
incredible
disappointment
to
all
the
students,
families,
teachers,
faculty
and
the
greater
community
school
communities,
but
mostly
for
our
students.
S
That
building
is
not
in
good
condition,
needs
extensive
renovation
and
likely
demolition,
but
those
kids
deserve
their
community
intact
and
to
be
intact
for
a
move
that
should
have
been
and
should
be
better
planned
over
the
next
few
years.
I
do
believe
that
build
VPS
has
the
potential
to
improve
many
of
our
schools.
I
do
not
believe
that
bps
has
been
able
to
provide
sufficient
answers.
As
chair
of
the
council's
Committee
on
education,
a
former
teacher
and
a
Boston
Public
Schools
parent,
it
is
important
that
we
we
keep.
S
Our
families
engaged
that
we
keep
our
school
communities
engaged
and
to
hold
accountable
our
Boston
School
Department,
to
provide
a
rail
plan.
It
is
crucial
that
decisions
are
not
being
made
behind
closed
doors
and
that
a
clear
timeline
and
financial
plan
is
shared
with
the
public
and
with
the
Boston
City
Council.
The
future
of
our
display
students
in
the
future
of
many
of
our
schools
still
remains
unclear.
It
is
important
that
we
make
sure
that
the
voices
of
our
school
communities
are
heard
and
that
student
need
is
prioritized.
S
M
Briefly
and
I
do
appreciate
my
my
colleagues.
Leadership
in
this
conversation
I
think
it's
worth
noting,
though,
however,
with
bill
bps.
However,
this
conversation
goes
that
I
have
found,
at
least
for
my
district,
a
wanting
a
wanting
amount
of
transparency
and
a
really
understanding
and
deep
analysis.
M
While
we
are
getting
some
schools
in
East
Boston,
the
fact
is,
there
is
nothing
in
this
plan
or
indicated
in
the
leadership
or
the
voices
of
the
leaders
of
this
plan,
ironically
without
a
superintendent
or
I
think
without
a
chief
of
Education.
So
maybe
that's
why
we
we
lack
that
leadership.
Is
we
in
my
district?
M
Specifically,
we
are
going
to
be
doubling
the
size
of
the
largest
housing
development
in
New
England
and
to
tell
me
from
the
very
beginning
that
you
see
no
need
to
invest
further
in
Charlestown,
especially,
is
frustrating,
especially
because
that
development
is
going
to
take
about
10
to
12
years,
and
this
entire
plan
will
as
well.
So
you
have
a
plan
starting
off
with
an
understanding
that
is
completely
mismatched
with
what
my
community
is
going
to
look
like
the
same
goes
for
East
Boston.
M
We
do
hope
that
there
will
be
another
High
School
there,
but
at
the
fact
that
matter
is.
We
are
developing
up
close
to
10,000
housing
units
to
put
that
in
context,
that's
at
Suffolk
Downs,
but
that
a
context
East
Boston's
about
you-
know
15,000
right
now,
so
we're
developing
another
seaport
in
East,
Boston
and
again,
that's
gonna
take
20
years,
so
that
would
at
least
last
longer
than
the
bill
BPS.
M
But
again
I
really
don't
see
a
deep
analysis,
understanding
of
how
our
education
system
is
going
to
meet
the
needs
of
rapid
growth
in
the
next
ten
years.
So
add
to
that
conversation
that
I
look
forward
to
having
and
and
just
I
think
it's
worth
noting
the
one
dissenting
voice
is
no
longer
on
the
school
committee.
I
don't.
I
don't
think
that
that's
coincidental,
I
don't
like
it.
I
don't
think
that's
democratic
and
so
a
conversation
again.
My
colleague
has
already
kicked
off
counselor
asabi
George.
M
P
Much
to
add,
after
that,
thank
you
both
of
you,
counselor
Edwards,
in
asabi
George,
for
your
leadership
in
your
voice
in
this
matter.
I
just
want
to
echo
the
importance
of
engagement,
particularly
of
our
our
parents,
our
students
and
our
teachers
in
this
process.
The
importance
of
transparency
and
accountability.
This
is
a
huge
issue,
new
phone,
sorry.
A
You
councillor
JD,
madam
clerk,
if
you
could
add
councillor
Janie's
name,
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter,
I
quickly
want
to
add
councillor,
Edwards
I,
think
you
said
it
great
more
transparency.
Accountability
is
key.
I
knew
Jerry
very
well.
I
still
know.
Jerry
I
was
quite
disappointed
at
her
exit
not
to
knock
the
new
I'm.
Sorry
Regina
I
apologise
not
to
knock
the
new
school
committee
member,
but
Regina
I.
Think
that
could
have
been
handled
quite
differently
and
wanted
to
say
that
publicly
too.
So.
Thank
you
at
this
time.
A
If
we
could
also
add
councillor
Malley
councillor
whoo
councillor,
McCarthy
I
think
we
already
got
council
Janey,
correct,
yes,
counselor
Flynn,
councillor,
Flaherty
I
think
we
got
councillor
Edwards,
also
councillor
CMO.
At
this
time,
councillor
Zakim
as
well
I
apologize,
docket
0,
one
for
one
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
education.
A
Thank
You
counselor
CMO.
This
is
essentially
a
refil
of
a
hearing
order
from
last
year
we
tweaked
the
language
just
to
add.
Not
only
would
we
like
in
this
hearing
to
have
a
review
and
conversation
about
the
final
results
of
this
study
that
north-eastern
put
out
with
respect
to
our
body
cameras
pilot
program,
but
we
also
want
to
have
a
conversation
about
the
status
of
the
implementation
of
the
body
camera
program.
A
This
body
fought
for
the
pilot
program
to
happen,
including
colleagues
who
are
no
longer
here
who
were
dedicated
to
this,
including
counselor,
Jackson,
counselor,
Yancey
and,
of
course,
Congress
will
impress
Lee.
We
got
that
pilot
program
for
six
months.
We
extended
it
for
a
year.
We
had
this
incredible
study
that
came
out
of
northeastern
pushing
us
to
actually
do
it.
This
body
put
two
million
dollars
in
the
last
budget
for
that
to
happen,
but
we
do
not
and
have
not
had
an
update
on
where
we
are
with
respect
to
implementation
of
the
actual
program.
A
A
A
phase-in
approach
will
get
the
cameras
first,
second
and
third,
and
obviously
most
folks
want
the
units
that
have
the
highest
number
of
complaints
to
be
considered
for
implementation
in
the
first
phase
of
the
rollout
of
the
body
camera
program,
and
so
this
is
essentially
refile
but
hope,
a
hope
that
we
can
actually
have
this
as
soon
as
possible.
Many
of
course
gave
our
new
Commissioner
time
to
get
settled
in
and
to
adjust
and
to
get
his
team
set,
which
I
think
is
set,
and
so
I
hope
that
we
can
do
this
in
short
order.
I
B
A
Thank
You
councillor
Moe
I.
This
is
a
hearing
order
that
came
out
of
a
discussion
last
year
that
we
held
in
the
district
in
district
4
with
residents
from
every
part
of
my
district
George
Chester
Matapan,
Jamaica,
Plain
and
Rosendale.
But
these
are
issues,
of
course,
that
every
neighborhood
in
the
city
of
Boston
shares,
which
is
speeding
cars,
traffic,
congestion,
fear
of
your
life
when
either
crossing
the
street
driving
down
the
street
riding
your
bike.
A
You
name
it
it's
probably
at
the
top
of
the
list,
with
respect
to
constituent
cases
that
we
get
in
our
office.
This
body
has
done
some
really
incredible
things:
one
pushing
the
administration
to
expand
the
budget
for
our
slow
streets,
vision;
zero,
of
course,
pushing
to
change
the
speed
limit.
But
we
all
know
if
you
change
the
speed
limit
and
you
don't
have
the
enforcement
that
is
useless.
A
So,
at
this
meeting
many
residents
and
we
had
officers
from
c11
present,
they
have
been
engaging
in
this
conversation
for
a
really
long
time
about
what
they
can
do.
Many
officers
frankly
feel
a
little
bit
frustrated
because,
in
addition
to
solving
crimes
and
showing
up
with
respect
to
public
safety
concerns,
they
also
want
to
show
up
on
traffic
concerns.
A
They
want
to
do
enforcement,
but
they
don't
think
they
have
enough
resources,
and
maybe
even
human
capital,
to
do
so
as
quickly
as
residents
would
like,
and
so
out
of
this
conversation
out
of
this
meeting
with
BTD
commissioner
fee
andhaka
was
there
chief
Osgood
vision,
zero,
slow
streets,
Charlotte?
Was
there
many
folks
in
administration
who
worked
tirelessly
every
single
day
were
there
to
work
in
partnership,
and
one
conclusion
we
came
up
with
was
creating
possibly
a
unit
VPD
that
would
explicitly
focus
on
enforcement
of
traffic
concerns.
A
It
was
even
suggested
by
some
folks
in
the
room
that
we,
maybe
even
uniformed
those
folks
who
are
doing
this
separately
from
those
who
are
doing
actual
Public,
Safety
or
crime
work.
Give
them
separate
uniforms,
give
them
equip
them
with
the
tools
they
need
to
truly
bring
our
enforcement
to
the
level
it
should
be.
A
We
know
there
was
a
recent
article
in
The
Globe,
citing
Registry
of
Motor
Vehicle
records
that
demonstrated
that
Boston
is
behind
when
it
comes
to
enforcement,
comparing
us
to
other
cities
that
are
doing
far
better,
and
so
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
have
a
hearing
on
creating
this
unit
for
the
specific
purpose.
In
addition
to
that,
exploring
the
possibilities
of
having
cameras
that
has
come
up
in
the
past,
but
there
are
pros
and
cons
or
many
reports
out
there.
That
say
this
could
be
a
good
thing.
This
could
be
a
bad
thing.
A
I
want
to
give
kudos
to
councilor
Wu,
who
has
been
pushing
transportation
infrastructure.
Anything
relate
to
transportation
for
years
was
also
quoted
in
an
article,
but
there
are
legitimate
in
councilor
Flint
as
well,
for
your
recent
push
I
apologize
on
lowering
the
speed
limit,
but
there
are
some
concerns
and
that
have
come
out
from
other
communities
about
the
cons
of
possibly
using
of
cameras,
whether
it's
just
more
surveillance
in
certain
communities
and
what
that
means,
whether
it's
having
a
disproportionate
impact
on
folks
who
truly
don't
have
the
ability
to
pay.
A
So
I
think
this
is
a
great
time
in,
in
conjunction
with
this
conversation
on
creating
this
new
enforcement
unit
or
expanding
on
what
it
early
exists
in
BPD
to
also
have
a
robust
conversation
on
using
cameras
and
regardless
of
how
we
come
out.
If
we
say
let's
do
it,
then
let's
actually
do
it
so
I
look
forward
to
the
partnership
of
every
single
person
on
this
body.
A
I
know
that
all
of
us
deal
with
these
concerns
every
single
day,
and
it's
not
enough
for
us
to
say
we're
going
to
be
doing
more,
we're
gonna
be
doing
more.
People
are
dying,
so
this
is
urgent
and
the
time
is
now
and
so
I
think
we
can
accomplish
something
with
respect
to
this
in
2019
and
look
forward
to
having
a
conversation.
First
with
the
administration
before
taking
next
steps,
Thank
You,
councillor,
co-moh,
Thank,.
M
Graduate
the
maker
president
Campbell
on
your
leadership
on
this
conversation
and
also
acknowledge
leadership
in
conversations
that
have
already
happened
when
it
comes
to
safety
after
the
death
of
a
child
in
your
neighborhood
act
after
folks
have
died
recently,
even
riding
bikes.
This
is
a
life
and
death
issue
and
I
do
appreciate
your
leadership
on
this,
but
it
does
come
backed
with
all
the
great
ideas
that
we've
had
either
with
slowing
down
the
traffic
or
looking
at
charging
for
parking.
M
It
always
comes
down
to
the
same
thing
and
that's
enforcement,
and
so
it
is
true
that
we
need
to
look
at
how
we're
gonna
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is
when
it
comes
to
enforcement,
not
just
good
ideas.
I
do
think
that,
especially
in
our
neighborhood
in
East
Boston,
with
the
way
the
traffic
has
been
going
recently,
we
have
found
that
there's
really
only
been
one
thing
that
has
worked,
and
that
is
having
a
police
detail
to
keep
us
moving
while
we're
in
the
middle
of
construction
by
the
tunnel.
M
The
same
as
like
it's
same
for
Sullivan
Square
in
Charlestown,
it
is
having
a
police
officer
or
officers
there
to
move
the
traffic
while
we're
in
the
middle
of
planning
and
I
think
that
that
should
be
possibly
linked
to
some
of
our
development
money
as
well
to
help
fund
this
additional
unit
as
we're
building
and
causing
traffic.
We
need
to
then
have
the
biltmore
development
dollars
more
developer
dollars.
Go
into
helps,
help
to
support
these
kinds
of
enforcement
initiatives.
M
I
just
personally
think
that,
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
are,
it
is
a
matter
of
planning,
it's
a
matter
of
making
sure
that
we're
enforcing.
But,
more
importantly,
it's
really
taking
this
as
serious
as
we
should.
If
we
don't,
we
will
have,
we
will
continue
to
have
people
literally
dying
on
the
streets
of
Boston
for
nothing
except
trying
to
go
to
work
or
walk
or
ride
a
bike.
Thank.
D
You
councillor,
co-moh
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
council
president
for
her
leadership
on
this
issue
as
well
as
Councilwoman
councillor.
Edwards
also
want
to
thank
council
Frank
Baker
as
well
for
his
tireless
work
on
on
this
on
pedestrian
safety
issues.
For,
for
so
many
years
of
I
filed
a
hearing
order
with
councillor
Baker,
it
would
be
to
reduce
the
speed
limit
from
25
to
20,
but
also
strict
enforcement
of
our
speeding
laws.
D
We
talked
about
this
last
night
with
councillor
Janie
at
the
South
End
forum
and
the
the
feedback
we
received
from
the
Sultan
and
residents
that
that
at
that
meeting
is
even
the
South
End.
You
know
the
the
streets
of
very
dangerous
people
are
driving
40
50
miles
an
hour.
We
need
more
to
make
sure
that
pedestrian
safety
is
is
critical,
I
think
it's
the
number
one
issue
facing
facing
our
city,
pedestrian
safety
and
I'm.
Glad
to
sign
on
to
this.
D
To
this
hearing
order
and
I
know
we
had
a
terrible
accident
of
a
young
young
boy
in
my
community,
and
the
whole
town
is
still
grieving
over
over
that
terrible
loss.
But
we
need
to
continue
to
work
hard
to
work
together
to
bring
more
experts
in
in,
in
giving
us
great
advice,
a
sound
advice
on
how
we
can
reduce
speeds,
how
we
can
make
our
streets
safer
for
everybody,
especially
for
the
elderly,
for
our
children
for
the
disabled,
I.
Think
it's
a
critical
issue,
this,
it's
something
I
would
support
and
I
want
to
say.
P
Thank
you
so
first,
just
please
add
my
name.
I
want
to
thank
the
sponsor
for
her
leadership.
Certainly
councillor
Wu
for
your
leadership
on
these
issues.
How
folks
use
our
road,
whether
they're
driving
cars,
their
own
cars
or
you
know,
ride-sharing
whether
they're
cycling
walking
in
wheelchairs
are
so
important.
This
is
an
issue
that
I
hear
over
and
over
and
over
and
over
again
in
my
district
last
year,
I
hosted
a
community
forum
in
response
to
hearing
all
of
this
I
hosted
a
community
forum
in
my
district
to
talk
about
these
issues.
P
We
had
the
chief
of
streets
and
his
team.
Come
enforcement
clearly
a
huge
issue,
one
we
need
to
do
more
in
terms
of
our
infrastructure,
but
we
also
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
enforcement,
not
sure
I'm,
really
feeling
the
more
surveillance
and
cameras
but
I
think
it's
worth
a
discussion
and
me
hearing
the
pros
and
cons
of
both
of
those.
So
again,
just
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
This
is
an
important
conversation.
We
need
to
do
much
more
as
a
city
to
make
sure
that
everyone
who
uses
our
roads
can
do
so
safely.
H
Much
mr.
vice
president,
as
my
good
friend
from
Roxbury
just
stated,
I'm,
not
feeling
the
cameras
either,
but
having
said
that,
the
discussion
is
certainly
worthwhile.
I
think
that,
as
counsel
Flynn
had
stated,
the
our
biggest
complaint
in
a
district
office
is
either
speeding
or
not
moving
at
all.
Right
and
pedestrian
safety
is
a
huge
issue.
Bike
safety
is
a
huge
issue
and
I
think
that
madam
alley
and
I
were
just
chit-chatting
about
it.
H
The
other
day
texting
and
driving
down
Congress
Street,
which
is
actually
very
talented,
I'm,
not
sure
how
he
does
it,
but
so
I'd
like
to
add
that
the
whole
texting
issue
into
it
as
well,
if
allowed,
because
I
think
that's
one
of
our
serious
issues
to
protect
our
own
citizens
and
I'd
like
to
sign
my
name.
Please.
N
Mr.
vice
president
rise
to
commend
the
council
president
for
her
leadership,
as
has
been
said,
I
fully
support,
certainly
the
beginning
of
the
ordinance,
as
it
talks
about
traffic
enforcement
unit
within
BPD.
Looking
at
new
things,
I
too
share
a
lot
of
skepticism
as
it
relates
to
traffic
enforcement
cameras.
This
is
an
issue
that
I've
been
following
for
quite
some
time.
N
The
number
of
people
then
running
red
lights,
obviously
decreases,
but
the
the
alternative
is
you're.
Seeing
some
more
accidents
happen
that
way,
so
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
cautious,
as
it
relates
to
traffic
cameras.
Having
said
that,
having
a
opportunity
for
all
of
us
to
sit
down
to
convene
the
relevant
stakeholders
for
BTD
and
BPD
in
terms
of
traffic
enforcement
is
something
that
we
should
be
doing.
We
also
need
to
be
thinking
outside
the
box,
as
it
relates
to
looking
at
ways.
N
Ray's
crosswalks,
something
known
as
virtual
speed
bumps,
which
you
know
are
the
way
lines
are
painted
or
the
striping
can
be
done
to
help
slow
down
speed.
There's
some
innovative
things.
We
can
do
at
very,
very
little
cost
that
will
have
a
profound
impact,
so
look
forward
to
participating
in
the
hearing
shortly,
and
please
add
my
name.
Thank
you.
Please.
I
Q
Q
Q
You
as
an
our
city
continues
to
go
through
an
an
era
of
unprecedented
growth
and
development.
We
hear
every
day
from
constituents
that
in
residents
that
are
unable
to
for
the
rinse
they're
not
even
afford
to
buy
those
that
currently
owned,
simply
can't
afford
the
property
taxes
and
the
homes
that
they've
lived
in
for
years.
Q
I
think
they
just
levied
a
fine
of
summer
in
the
vicinity
of
about
600,000,
which
I
think
hopefully
will
deter
a
similar
activity
from
happening
in
the
future.
Nothing
more
disgusting
than
a
greedy
developer
and
not
to
broad-brush
developers,
but
in
these
particular
instances,
building
units
and
purposely
skirting
the
IDP,
because
it
made
more
sense
for
them
economically
I
guess
they
were
able
to
sell
the
call
of
the
unit's
at
market
rate
and
they
took
a
chance.
They'd
rather
pay
the
fine
than
any
it's
almost
like
coming
in
town
and
realizing.
Q
If
you
can
park
in
a
meter
and
get
the
tickets
for
overstaying
the
meter,
because
you
don't
want
to
go
in
a
garage,
it
just
makes
sense.
So
and
then
we
obviously
were
working
closely
with
our
colleague
council
idiots,
who
had
at
a
tremendous
value
in
putting
this
whole
order,
together
with
respect
to
identifying
areas
of
the
city
that
are
obviously
experiencing
folks
being
displaced
and
an
opportunity
here
for
us
to
really
dial
in
find
out
how
the
program
is
working,
how
we
can
strengthen
it
and,
more
importantly,
how
we
can
enforce
it.
Q
You
know
developers
get
the
message
that
they
can't
just
ignore
the
IDP
and
continue
to
build
market-rate
without
taking
into
it
context
the
folks
that
are
being
displaced
and
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
an
expedited
hearing
and
committed
to
making
sure
that
residents
and
neighbors
know
afforded
the
greatest
opportunity
to
try
to
stay
in
the
neighborhood
that
they
were
born
and
raised
in
where
the
support
system
is
where
their
family
is
and
keep
them
in
the
city,
because
we're
losing
too
many
residents
to
to
the
suburbs.
So
thank
you,
I'm
an
impressed.
No.
M
M
And
so
today,
we're
at
part
of
the
triangle
renewal
that
the
administration
put
in
or
implemented
in
2015
saying
we
will,
through
his
executive
order,
come
up
with
and
renew
IDP.
That
conversation
has
started.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
and
when
the
first
ask
that
we
have
had
from
advocates
is
that
that
conversation
just
doesn't
happen
on
the
desk
of
the
BPD,
a
with
the
administration.
M
This
building
I
also
would
add
to
that
conversation
that,
when
it
comes
to
looking
at
the
percentage
of
13,
now
looking
at
the
13
percent,
the
actual
number,
we
need
to
revisit
that
and
honestly
ask
ourselves.
Are
we
asking
enough
from
developers
the
other
look
that
we
need
to
have?
Is
it's
very
project
specific?
M
As
in
a
building
over
10
units,
the
IDP
applies
well,
there
are
a
lot
of
developers
and
a
lot
of
individuals
who
are
building
a
bunch
of
triple-deckers
are
redoing
a
bunch
of
triple-deckers
throughout,
and
so
their
portfolio
might
be
a
couple
hundred
units,
but
none
of
them
are
over
ten
units
on
an
individual
basis.
As
a
result,
someone
can
build
a
couple
hundred
units
and
never
build
one
affordable
unit
in
Boston
because
of
the
way
the
IDP
is
is
is
set
up.
M
So
I
asked
us
to
not
only
look
at
project
specific
and
that
13%,
but
look
at
portfolio
specific
and
look
at
how
many
units
someone
has
been
able
to
build
and
make
money
in
Boston
not
build
one
affordable
unit.
It's
about
making
sure
that
this
is
also
not
just
part
of
an
executive
order
so
that
we
have
the
will
of
an
administration
which
we
do
have
right
now.
M
We
do
have
the
leadership
and
I
thank
the
mayor
for
that,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
it's
beyond
that
will
that
it
actually
becomes
part
of
our
zoning
code.
Many
people
do
not
realize
that
it
is
not
part
of
our
zoning
code.
So
if
it's
chosen
not
to
be
implemented,
if
someone
doesn't
want
to
do
it,
we
don't
have
to
developers.
Don't
have
to.
This
has
become
a
problem
in
that
we
always
have
to
have
this
conversation
and
push
for
political
will.
M
If
it
were
part
of
our
zoning
code,
it's
something
that
we
can
amend
as
the
public.
It's
something
that
we
can
move
on
on
a
regular
basis
and
so
I
think
we
need
to
have
a
firm
commitment.
We
need
to
state
as
a
city
that
this
is
something
that
we
want
permanently
in
our
code
and
how
we're
going
to
build
in
Boston
that
it
will
be
affordable,
it
will
be
accessible
and
it
will
be
community
led.
D
You,
madam
president,
thank
you
to
council
of
clarity
to
council
Edwards
on
your
leadership
on
this
important
issue.
Both
of
you
remain
focused
on
housing,
stability
in
affordable
housing
and
I'm.
Happy
to
work
with
you
to
ensure
Boston
remains
a
city
for
working
people
for
middle-class
families,
for
the
poor
for
the
needy.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
mayor
Walsh
and
his
administration
for
their
work
on
this
issue
as
well.
Council
Flaherty
highlighted
a
couple
cases
of
developers
that
were
skirting
the
the
law
and
they
were
fined.
D
Six
hundred
thousand
dollars
I
would
have
thought
I
would
think
they
should
be
fined
that
amount
and
their
license
should
be
suspended
as
well
for
a
period
of
time.
It
was
also
discovered
that
three
other
projects
fail
to
comply
with
the
affordable
housing
requirements.
These
actions
resulted
in
the
permanent
loss
of
designated
affordable
units
for
Boston
residents.
I
know
all
my
colleagues
hear
a
lot
from
their
neighbors
from
their
from
their
friends
and
community
leaders
about
this
issue.
D
At
a
time
when
our
city
faces
an
affordable
housing
crisis,
the
greed
and
actions
of
some
unscrupulous
developers
to
skirt
via
obligation
that
they
that
they
agreed
upon
with
the
city
in
our
residents
is
unconscionable
I.
Think
about
all
the
people
that
want
to
stay
in.
You
know
a
city,
but
they
can't
I
also
think
about
the
family,
with
the
modest
income,
the
family,
who
loses
income
going
part-time
to
take
care
of
a
newborn
child.
I.
Also
think
of
my
friends
from
local
26
hotel
and
restaurant
restaurant
workers
in
other
union
workers
as
well.
D
I
talk
frequently
with
members
of
the
Chinese
progressive
Association.
They
have
some
great
ideas
about
updating,
IDP
requirements
to
ensure
working
class
families
have
access
to
housing
in
what
we
are
building
housing
address,
the
needs
of
Boston
residents
rather
than
speculation
and
profit
increasing,
affordable
housing
will
keep
Boston
a
diverse
in
vibrant
city.
Housing
should
be
a
human
right
in
updating
the
IDB
requirements
may
also
help
to
combat
homelessness.
D
So,
in
the
interest
of
transparency,
I
think
we
need
to
discuss
this
issue
in
what's
happening,
ensure
our
database
or
an
accounting
system
inventory
in
how
the
system
or
process
can
be
improved
to
ensure
this
does
not
take
place
again.
Moreover,
we
need
to
look
at
updating
IDP
requirements
so
that
we
may,
in
a
diverse
environment
city
for
all
and
that
we're
able
to
build
more
affordable
housing,
we're
able
to
build
housing
for
the
poor,
we're
able
to
get
housing
for
working
families,
and
we
can
do
more
on
this
issue.
D
S
You,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
to
the
makers
of
this
order.
I
would
like
to
ask
that
my
name
be
added
and
just
hope
that
a
part
of
this
conversation
includes
a
continued
conversation
that
we
had
earlier
or
halfway
through
last
year
regarding
access
to
affordable
units.
So
once
we
have
X
amount
of
affordable
units
on
any
on
any
project
that
they
do
not
go
vacant
available
able
to
be
occupied
yet
vacant
and
many
times
because
of
the
delays
that
are
happening
here
at
City
Hall.
S
You
need
to
make
sure
that
the
process
of
getting
our
families,
our
residents
into
affordable
units
and
more
more
affordable
units
happens
quickly,
happens
without
delay
and
oftentimes.
We
find
that
these
buildings,
the
market
rate
units,
whether
rental
or
ownership
opportunities,
have
been
filled.
Yet
the
affordable
units
have
gone
unfilled
because
of
a
delay
in
our
work
and
our
effort
here
in
this
building,
so
I
do
ask
that
that
be
a
part
of
this
conversation.
So
I
think
it's
an
important
one
to
have.
S
We
counted
middle
of
the
summer
that
there
were
hundreds
upon
hundreds
of
vacant
available,
affordable
units
and
some
some
protocol
has
been
put
in
place
to
make
sure
that
that
is
not
occurring.
But
I
do
know
that
it
is
a
huge
barrier
to
accessing
affordable
units
in
our
city
of
Boston
for
our
residents,
so
I
hope
that
that's
included
as
part
of
this
conversation.
Thank
you.
