C
Thank
you,
madam
president.
It's
an
honor
for
me
and
for
my
colleague,
councillor
Kim
Janey,
to
introduce
and
present
Reverend
Jay
Williams.
He
serves
as
the
lead
pastor
at
Union
Church
in
the
south
end.
He
obtained
his
PhD
at
Harvard
University
in
works
closely
across
the
city
on
issues
that
impact
the
homeless,
the
poor,
the
hungry
working
families
across
the
city.
C
D
Thank
you
first,
my
appreciation
to
councillor
Flynn
and
to
councillor
Janie
for
this
gracious
and
generous
invitation,
which
was
extended
to
me
earlier
this
month
at
the
city's
49th
annual
Martin
Luther
King
memorial
breakfast,
which
my
congregation
co-hosts
to
President
Campbell
and
the
Honorable
members
of
the
council
I.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
stand
before
you
to
offer
the
invocation
for
today's
meeting.
I'm,
also
grateful
to
my
members
of
my
congregation,
shantel
Charles
and
Kempton
fleming,
who
work
here
in
city
hall
for
their
presence
today.
D
Every
week
I
get
to
stand
before
the
wonderful
people
of
Union
United,
Methodist
Church
in
the
south
end
a
congregation
that
has
been
a
beacon
of
love
and
hope
in
justice
and
service
in
Boston.
Since
1796
last
year
we
celebrated
our
Bicentennial
of
our
1818
incorporation,
and
this
year
we
celebrate
70
years
in
the
south
end.
Having
previously
lived
on
Beacon
Hill
in
the
West
End
and
Roxbury
and
unions.
Reason
to
cysts
are
calling
is
pretty
simple.
As
the
gospel
spiritual
goals,
we
are
determined
to
love
everybody
and
treat
everybody
right
in
unions.
D
History
and
present
is
a
testament
to
this
calling
a
calling
a
calling
through
the
invocation.
We
call
the
spirit
into
this
place.
Invocation
it
means
to
call
in
it
is
an
opening
prayer
that
invites
the
holy
one
known
by
many
names,
to
dwell
among
us
and
to
be
present
in
this
place.
So
before
anything
else,
the
invocation
begins
the
work
it
signals
that
we
all
believe
in
something
bigger
something
greater
than
ourselves,
whether
we
go
to
church
or
to
Temple
or
to
synagogue
or
to
mosque,
or
no
place
at
all.
D
We
all
gather
here
today,
because
we
are
people
of
faith
we
believe
in
a
tomorrow.
That
is
somehow
more
perfect
than
our
today
seems
to
me
that
we
gather,
because
we
know
that
all
we
see
is
not
all
that
can
be.
So
we
gather
to
make
that
vision
a
reality,
what
we
feel
in
our
hearts
and
what
we
see
in
our
minds,
I,
so
vocation
or
the
work
to
which
we
are
called
an
invocation.
D
It
shares
the
same
root,
the
same
basis,
Josephine
Baker,
that
great
entertainer
who
refused
to
perform
and
segregated
audiences
described
vocation
as
what
you
do
with
joy,
as
if
you
had
fire
in
your
heart.
So
on
this
cold
Boston
day
may
our
hearts
be
set
afire
ablaze
with
a
passion
for
equity
and
justice,
as
we
call
in
the
holy
and
all
that
is
good
within
us.
We
call
ourselves
then,
to
the
task
that
is
before
us.
D
We
cover
this
day
in
prayer
and
we
order
our
minds
toward
unending
grace
and
we
give
voice
to
our
hearts
deepest
desires
for
a
more
excellent
way
of
living,
and
we
passionately
commit
ourselves
to
this
pursuit,
so
we
pray
Oh,
God
our
help
in
ages,
past
and
our
hope
for
years
to
come
before
we
ask
for
anything.
We
want
to
say
thank
you
God
for
everything
before
we
arose
this
morning,
you
were,
you
were
shining
light.
You
were
bringing
snow,
you
were
giving
life
to
the
world
and
for
this
we
are
grateful.
D
Oh
yes,
you
woke
us
up
this
morning
and
you
started
us
on
our
way
now
be
with
us
here.
In
this
place,
at
this
time,
for
the
facing
of
this
day,
set
this
council,
and
indeed
the
entire
city
of
Boston,
to
the
work
of
your
love
and
establishing
the
new
creation,
be
with
counselors
Campbell
and
George,
and
flare
'ti
and
garrison
and
Wu
and
Edwards
and
Flynn
and
Baker
and
McCarthy
and
O'malley
and
Jamie
and
Zakim
and
co-moh.
Yes,
we
call
these
counselors
by
name,
because
the
work
is
difficult
and
often
thankless.
D
So
we
remember
them
in
our
prayers
and
we
pray
that
they
might
carry
the
mantle
of
leadership.
Well,
let
their
deliberations
and
their
business
be
of
one
mind
and
one
spirit
United
for
the
creation
of
a
better
Boston
for
all
of
her
people,
set
them
to
this
task
dear
God,
and
to
nothing
else,
grant
your
wisdom,
compassion
and
mercy
to
this
council
so
that
they
might
be
filled
with
grace,
holiness
and
justice,
give
them
courage
and
fortitude,
and
the
will
to
do
always
what
is
right,
keep
forever
before
these
elected
servants.
D
Those
who
you
never
forget
the
most
vulnerable
and
marginalized
the
oppressed
and
the
brokenhearted,
the
poor,
the
homeless
and
the
hungry,
and
let
not
our
bodies
grow
weary
or
our
hearts
real
cold.
Until
all
your
people
have
warm
mills
by
day
and
safe
havens
by
night,
their
God
in
a
world
full
of
hatred.
D
Send
your
spirit
of
love
in
a
divided
nation,
marked
by
government,
shutdowns
and
desires,
to
build
walls
of
separation,
send
a
spirit
of
reconciliation,
to
build
bridges
of
justice
and
harmony
in
a
city
of
rising
costs
and
growing
wealth
disparities,
send
a
spirit
of
equity,
equality
and
economic
justice
during
days,
so
full
of
violence
send
your
spirit
of
peace.
Gracious
God,
send
your
spirit
of
compassion
and
of
courage.
Come
divine
present
holy
God
holy
guide
and
fill
this
room.
E
E
While
they're
making
their
way
up
our
get
started
today,
I
am
honored
to
recognize
the
Pine
Street
outreach
team.
A
few
months
ago,
I
had
the
privilege
of
participating
in
a
ride-along
with
Mike
Jason
Margie
and
Lynne
dia.
The
temperatures
that
night
were
below
freezing
very
much
like
today,
and
we
met
many
individuals.
The
outreach
team
met
each
person
with
respect
and
love.
E
They
knew
many
of
the
individuals
we
met,
they
knew
their
names,
their
stories,
their
circumstances
and
how
long
and
why
they
were
still
on
our
streets
as
we
made
our
way
through
different
parts
of
the
city
and
talked
to
many
of
our
residents
experiencing
homelessness.
One
thing
was
clear:
Mike,
Jason
and
Margie
were
loved
by
these
people.
They
were
the
connection
to
not
just
a
cup
of
soup
or
warmth.
They
were
a
connection
to
a
warm
warm
smile
and
a
conversation.
Pine
Street
Inn
is
the
only
organization
offering
night.
E
Street
outreach
of
Boston,
Mike,
Jason
and
Margie
are
the
true
stewards
of
our
community.
They
go
out
when
we
are
all
asleep
to
build
connections
and
Trust
with
individuals
that
are
on
the
street
at
night.
It
is
through
trust
and
relationships
that
many
chronically
homeless
individuals
have
moved
from
the
streets
to
permanent
housing
and
towards
independence.
E
I'd
like
to
thank
them
today,
especially
because
tonight
marks
the
39th
annual
homeless
census
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
although
there
will
be
hundreds
of
people
out
tonight,
interacting
and
connecting
with
those
that
are
facing
homelessness
and
experiencing
homelessness,
this
crew
right
here
and
theirs,
two
crews-
this
is
the
crew,
my
favorite
crew.
There
are
two
crews
through
the
Pine
Street
Inn,
but
they're
out
every
single
night,
and
they
are
connecting
with
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
residents
in
the
city
of
Boston.
E
F
F
The
Pine
Street
vans
are
an
integral
part
of
the
work,
that's
done
in
the
city
and
engaging
folks
that
are
unsheltered
that
are
sleeping
on
the
streets.
We've
seen
a
24
percent
reduction
in
Street
homelessness
over
the
last
few
years,
and
that's
that's
been
a
lot
of
work
by
the
Pine
Street
outreach
team.
We
have
a
day
team
that
covers
the
city,
all
of
Boston,
Proper,
Dorchester,
Roxbury
and
JP.
F
The
overnight
teams
are
here
with
Jason
and
Margie,
and
this
is
really
about
the
work
that
they
do
the
work
they
commit
to
day
in
and
day
out.
You
know,
we
believe
we're
going
to
eradicate
homelessness
through
housing,
first
thinking
in
action
and
that's
part
of
our
mission,
vision
and
values,
work
at
Pine,
Street
led
by
Lindy
at
downy,
our
CEO,
who
is
simply
amazing.
So
it's
a
it's
a
genuine
thank
you
for
having
us
here
today
and
it's
just
an
incredible
to
be
here.
Thank
you
very
much.
E
Thank
you,
Mike
I
have,
on
behalf
of
all
the
members
of
the
Boston
City
Council,
a
citation
or
an
official
resolution.
Just
recognising
your
dedication
and
your
commitment
to
giving
a
voice
to
the
city's
most
vulnerable
and
your
advocacy
to
end
homelessness.
I
appreciate
you
and
I
think
all
of
our
colleagues
are
going
to
come
up
and
also
say
thanks
and
we're
going
to
take.
A
great
group
picture
come
on
up.
E

B
G
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
speak
on
doc
at
zero,
two,
zero,
nine
delighted
that
the
Boston
Transportation
Department,
the
mayor
have
introduced
this
proposal
to
regulate
shared
mobility
service.
This
is
a
topic
that
I've
been
interested
in
for
quite
some
time.
Many
of
you
join
me
to
hearing
last
summer
at
the
end
of
last
summer,
as
we
brought
in
several
of
the
vendors
that
are
taking
advantage
of
this
and
cities
around
the
globe.
G
It's
really
important,
as
we
talk
about
moving
people
around
the
city,
that
we
think
of
innovative
ways
that
we
embrace
innovation,
but
we
also
put
up
some
safeguards
in
place.
A
lot
of
it
is
touched
upon
in
this
ordinance.
I've
read
through
most
of
it.
One
thing
that
is
not
contemplating
the
ordinance
before
us
is
the
idea
of
revenue
sharing.
Meanwhile,
we
don't
want
to
be
overly
onerous
restrictions.
Our
would-be
organizations
that
we
work
with
we
certainly
shouldn't
leave
money
on
the
table,
so
I
look
forward
to
a
hearing.

A
B
J
You
have
the
floor.
Thank
you,
madam
president,
on
behalf
of
the
committee,
just
asked
that
that
matter
be
kept
in
the
committee.
I
know
that
we
have
some
other
election
related
matters
that,
as
president
council
you've
asked
us
to
submit
those
together,
but
we
had
a
very
employment
of
hearing
led
by
the
two
lead
sponsors,
our
colleague
city
councilor,
dr
shaken
City,
Council
Kim
Jeanne.
During
the
hearing,
we
discussed
ways
to
encourage
greater
participation
in
the
election
process,
particularly
the
success
of
early
voting
for
the
most
recent
state
election.
J
The
committee
discussed
the
cost
the
information
implementation
of
early
voting
at
the
city
level,
as
well
as
staffing
matters.
Commissioner,
dion,
irish
and
sabine
opium
on
tea
from
the
city's
election
department
offered
testimony
in
support
of
early
voting,
and
they
estimated
the
cost
would
be
somewhere
the
vicinity
of
$380,000.
They
also
noted
that
the
election
of
Padma
would
like
a
sixth
month
advance
timeline
to
effectively
implement
early
voting,
so
it's
important
those
that
have
any
election
related
matters
that
are
either
in
my
committee
or
other
committees
to
try
to
maybe
get
these
things.
J
Get
these
things
vetted
and
have
a
hearing
the
very
short
terms
that
we
can
put
the
package
together
and
get
it
up
to
Beacon
Hill.
So
with
that
threw
the
chair
if
the
lease
sponsors
have
anything
additional
to
add
I'm,
asking
that
this
matter
remaining
committee,
but
knowing
that
the
feedback
we
got
from
all
the
stakeholders
were
that
they
were
in
support
of
this
and
looking
forward
to
having
the
council
pass
it
having
the
mayor
sign
and
getting
sent
up
to
Beacon
Hill
as
soon
as
possible.
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
K
You,
madam
president,
want
to
thank
Celtic
Flaherty
for
his
swiftly
scheduling
this
hearing
and
administering
it
and,
of
course,
my
co-sponsor
at
Council,
Janey
and
yourself,
madam
president,
and
everyone
else
who
was
in
support
of
this.
This
is
one
of
those
great
hearings
where
everyone
spoke
in
favor,
both
as
as
councillor
flighty
said:
Commissioner
Irish
folks
from
progress
in
Massachusetts
from
massive
oat.
Certainly
our
colleagues
who
were
able
to
attend.
As
the
chairman
noted,
this
is
somewhat
time-sensitive.
K
Although
we
are
aware
that
things
on
Beacon
Hill
can
move
slowly,
we
do
want
to
get
this
up
to
them
as
soon
as
possible.
The
goal
will
be
to
have
this
in
place
for
2019.
That
is
an
ambitious
goal.
We
are
aware
of
that,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
try
and
it's
important
to
make
sure
that
in
our
elections,
which
we
know
can
sometimes
be
particularly
low
turnout,
we
give
people
more
options.
K
So
look
happy
to
work
with
our
colleagues
with
the
administration
make
sure
this
version
and
other
related
legislation
gets
through
the
home
roll
process
and
set
up
to
Beacon
Hill.
We
need
to
move
swiftly
on
this
in
order
to
have
a
chance
of
getting
in
place
for
this
fall.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
those
you
who
signed
on
as
co-sponsors
who
attended
the
hearing,
and
particularly
the
administration
and
the
advocates
for
their
support
of
this.
It's
it's
time.
K
L
Jane,
you
have
to
speak
in
this
manner,
not
sure
I'll
just
add
my
two
cents.
First,
thank
you
to
council
clarity
for
holding
the
hearing.
Co-Sponsors
you,
madam
president,
as
well
as
counselors.
They
come
for
your
leadership
on
this
issue,
just
to
quote
what
many
of
the
advocates
say
or
easy.
So,
let's
get
it
done.
Thank
you.

The

approximately
65%

The

repairs
will
not

materially
extend

of

provide

A
M
I'm
several
priorities
and
plans
as
a
member
of
the
Boston
City
Council,
includes
not
just
in
a
general
way
to
say
we
want
to
strengthen
our
public
schools
in
the
city
of
Boston,
but
find
concrete
and
specific
ways
to
help
educate.
Our
children's
and
young
people
in
a
holistic
way,
therefore
propose
a
hearing
to
discuss
mundane
at
least
a
year
more
of
American
civics
to
be
taught
in
all
our
boston
public
school
system.
According
to
the
center
of
American
Progress,
only
nine
states
and
the
District
of
Columbia
require
one
year
u.s.
M
government,
our
civics,
Massachusetts
and
Boston.
By
extension,
not
being
one
of
them,
31
states
only
require
a
healthier
of
civics
US
government,
education
of
which
Massachusetts
is
included,
while
federal
education
policy
has
focused
on
improving
academic
achievement
in
reading
and
math.
This
has
come
at
the
expense
of
a
broader
curriculum.
M
Most
states
and
local
school
have
dedicated
insufficient
class
time
to
understand
the
basic
functions
of
government
at
the
expense
of
other
courses,
state
civic
curriculums
as
heavy
on
knowledge,
but
light
on
building
skills.
An
agency
for
civic
engagement,
an
example
of
standards
for
civics
and
US
government
courses,
found
that
32
states
and
the
District
of
Columbia
provide
the
more
basic
instructions:
an
American
democracy
in
comparison
to
other
systems
of
government.
The
history
of
the
Constitution
and
the
Bill
of
Rights
and
explanation
of
mechanic
mechanism
for
public
participation
and
instructions
on
state
and
local
voting.
M
M
Only
1/4
of
American
26%
can
name
all
three
branches
of
government
I
propose
that
we
open
up
the
conversation
and
work
with
our
City
Hall
education
cabinets,
although
the
position
of
chief
is
sadly
still
vacant,
the
Boston
Public
Schools
Superintendent

the

changing

chair,
docket
zero.
Two
four
eight
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
education.
A
K
Anyone
who
was
considered
undesirable
by
the
Nazi
government
in
Germany
in
World
War
two
and
that's
something
that
over
and
over
again
we
grapple
with
as
elected
officials
as
citizens
and,
what's
supposed
to
be
a
civil
democracy,
and
we
need
to
keep
working
on
that.
We
need
to
reflect
on
the
continued
battle
for
human
rights
and
civil
rights
and
remembering
the
past
and
thinking
about
the
future.
K
Some
people
can't
come
in
this
country.
Let's
encourage
them
to
emigrate,
then
let's
force
them
to
emigrate
and
then,
let's
just
not
let
people
into
this
country
or
that
country
altogether.
So
it's
it's
always
timely,
given
the
state
of
our
world
and
of
our
democracy,
but
I
think
especially
right
now,
so
I
can't
say
enough
how
much
I
want
to
thank
councilor
Flynn
for
his
partnership
and
its
leadership
on
this.
K
We're
gonna
ask
that
we
suspend
and
adopt
this
resolution,
as
were
already
a
couple
days
late
cause
the
council
didn't
actually
meet
on
Remembrance,
but
it's
an
important
opportunity,
I
think
to
to
reflect
and
talk
about
what
we
continue
need
to
do,
what
this
body
has
done
and
will
do
in
the
future
on
human
rights
and
civil
rights.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Council
as
a
come
on
his
important
leadership
on
this
issue.
We
are
here
today
to
remember
six
million
Jews
that
were
killed
by
a
terrible
government
in
Europe
in
Germany
in
Poland
I
had
the
opportunity,
as
a
young
kid
to
visit
ostrich
wits
and
several
other
concentration
camps
and
had
the
opportunity
to
visit
these
museums
and
I
saw
firsthand
the
hatred
that
people
had
for
for
mostly
for
Jews,
but
for
people
that
were
different
and
I.
Think
it's
so
important.
C
That
council
is
a
come,
provided
exceptional
leadership
on
this,
because
not
only
we
remembering
the
people
that
were
killed
during
the
Holocaust
we're
also
we
committed
to
making
sure
that
not
only
does
it
doesn't
happen
again,
but
to
treat
everybody
fairly
to
treat
everybody
with
respect
and
dignity.
I
think
that's
what
the
City
Council
and
the
city
has
always
done.
It's
always
been.
B
Excuse
me:
Thank
You,
councillor
Flynn,
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
at
their
name,
madam
Clerk,
if
you
could
add
councillor
co-moh
councillor,
Edwards
councillor,
sabi,
George,
councillor,
Flaherty,
councillor,
garrison,
councillor,
Janey,
council,
McCarthy,
council,
male
counselor
Wu,
as
well
as
the
chair
at
this
time,
councillor
Zakim
in
Flynn
seat,
suspension
of
the
rules,
an
adoption
of
docket
0
to
49,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
habit.
Duquette
0
to
49
has
been
adopted.
B
O
You,
madam
president,
I'm,
really
excited
to
continue
partnering
with
councillor
O'malley
and
refiling,
this
ordinance
from
last
session,
with
just
a
few
tweaks,
to
make
some
clarifications,
based
on
the
hearing
that
we
had
several
months
ago.
At
this
point,
I
like
to
talk
about
this
ordinance
as
one
that
is
actually
very
tangible
to
the
city.
When
you
say
wetlands,
it
kind
of
you
envision
a
part.
You
know
a
climate
that
you
might
not
associate
or
an
ecosystem.
O
We
might
not
associate
with
Boston,
but
the
reality
is
that
every
single
district
in
the
city,
each
one
of
our
districts,
has
portions
of
land
that
would
fall
under
this,
and
this
also
is
an
opportunity
to
give
tremendous
tools
to
the
city
of
Boston,
in
particular
our
Conservation
Commission,
in
thinking
about
our
climate
future.
Just
as
this
council
worked
with
the
administration
to
authorize,
Community
Choice
energy
and
took
the
biggest
fastest
single
step,
we
could
take
to
transition
to
renewable
energy.
This
would
be
the
fastest
largest
single
step.
O
For
the
city,
chief
Cook
has
been
incredible
in
engaging
and
reached
out
just
before
weary
filed
this,
to
say
that
he's
looking
forward
to
making
sure
we're
sitting
down
with
our
coalition
and
and
all
the
colleagues
and
in
crafting
something
that
works
for
Boston.
But
the
bottom
line
is
that
we
have
to
start
meshing
all
of
our
actions.
When
it
comes
to
climate
change.
We
can't
have
one
set
of
plans
around
resiliency
and
then
another
set
of
decision-making
criteria
for
individual
developments
that
come
up.
O
O
So,
lastly,
and
most
importantly,
I
want
to
thank
our
coalition
of
advocates
that
has
come
together
from
around
the
city.
Frank
O'brien
is
representing
many
people
in
the
chamber
today
and
that
we
have
folks
from
East,
Boston
and
Roslindale
and
Hyde
Park
and
Jamaica
Plain
in
Roxbury,
and
all
over
so
really
looking
forward
to
having
this
conversation
and
putting
one
more
one
more
accomplishment.
Under
this
councils
Belle
and
saying
that
we
stood
up
the
best
we
could
to
creating
a
livable
future
for
our
kids
and
the
kids
to
come
after
that.
Thank
you.
G
You,
madam
president,
I
rise
to
first
thank
my
dear
colleague
and
friend.
The
at-large
council
are
from
Roslindale
for
her
once
again
her
partnership
on
this.
This
is
a
refile.
She
encapsulated
the
purpose
quite
nicely,
so
I
will
be
somewhat
brief.
I'm
also
wanted
to
thank
David
Morgan,
who
was
a
policy
fellow
in
my
in
the
lead
sponsors
office
this
summer,
who
really
put
some
great
work
into
this
and
really
drafted
this
remarkable
piece
of
legislation.
G
When
we
talk
about
sustainability,
when
we
talk
about
the
single
greatest
culprit
for
greenhouse
gas
emissions
in
the
city
of
Boston,
it
is
buildings,
and
we
have
this
realization
in
the
midst
of
one
of
the
largest
building
booms
in
Boston's
history.
Yesterday,
the
city
officially
received
the
carbon
free
Boston
report
in
the
fact
that
more
than
70%
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions
come
from
buildings
in
the
city
of
Boston
shows
that
when
we
talk
about
building,
that's
a
way
that
we
can
actually
address
it
and
fix
it
and
really
get
to
work.
G
That's
why
I've
been
so
honored
to
work
with
so
many
of
you
on
net
zero
carbon.
The
other
part
of
that
coin
are
part
of
that
equation
would
be
zoning
and
using
tools
that
we
have
in
our
disposal,
but
we
haven't
yet
used
in
terms
of
sustainability
in
terms
of
building
what's
right
and
nothing
can
really
address
that
more
quickly,
more
succinctly
and
more
effectively
than
actually
implementing
a
local
wetlands
ordinance.
As
my
colleague
said,
we
are
one
of
three
cities
and
towns
throughout
the
Commonwealth
coastal
cities
or
towns.
G
That
does
not
take
advantage
of
this.
There
have
been
local
wetlands
ordinances
on
the
books
in
places
around
the
Commonwealth
since
the
early
1960s,
since
before
many
of
us
in
this
room
were
born.
It
is
high
time
that
we
do
at
the
benefit
of
wetlands
are
too
numerous
to
list,
but
obviously
they
reduce
pollutants.
They
offer
a
storm
buffer,
they
reduce
soil
erosion,
they
provide
habitats
from
any
plant
and
wildlife.
It's
important
that
we
are
really
methodical
in
terms
of
how
we
build
what
we
build
to
not
only
make
sure
that
we
build
some
means.
G
This
is
sustainable
as
humanly
possible,
but
also
as
energy
efficient
as
humanly
possible.
So
again,
I'm
excited
to
have
this
opportunity
to
continue
to
work
with
my
call
of
my
colleagues
on
this
and
delighted
that
the
mayor
is
really
interested
in
working
with
chief
cook
to
craft,
something
that
really
makes
sense.
That's
going
to
really
be
effective.
Thank
you,
the
coalition
partners
for
getting
us
here,
I'm
looking
forward
to
getting
to
work.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
A
B
P
You
this
is,
this
is
an
attempt
to
continue
our
conversation
on
pilot
payments.
We
had
a
wonderful
hearing
actually,
where
we
discussed
how
pilot
payments
payments
in
lieu
of
taxes
by
some
of
our
richest
neighbors
in
Boston
are
still
not
meeting
the
requirements
and
are
still
not
actually
getting
to
the
goals
that
we
set
as
a
city
with
them
in
2012.
P
This
is
continuing
that
conversation
I
want
to
thank
the
colleagues
who
are
here
at
that
time,
councillor
clarity,
who
is
one
of
them,
who
led
the
charge
actually
and
saying
we
need
to
do
better
by
our
our
communities.
You
are
not
only
here,
educating
our
kids,
educating
the
future
of
Boston,
but
also
you
need
to
make
sure
that
you
are
contributing,
as
you
are
educating
you're,
also
taking
you're
using
our
T's
you're
living
in
our
housing.
P
So,
as
a
result,
the
pilot
payment
seemed
like
a
wonderful
balance
to
make
sure
that
they
contributed
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
good
work.
When
it's
done,
we
did
see
a
jump
in
the
contributions
from
65%
to
81%
just
last
year,
actually
with
the
with
the
private
payments,
with
many
of
these
institutions
contributing
more
of
their
fair
share.
P
But
the
fact
is,
that's
not
a
hundred,
and
the
fact
is
that
81%
is
based
off
of
numbers
and
property
tax
values
from
2011
and
that's
a
problem,
because
we
really
are
not
seeing
the
true
amount
of
money
that
we
are
missing
as
a
city.
We
are
not
seeing
that
because
we
do
not
assess
the
property
that
is
tax-exempt
on
an
annual
basis.
We
haven't
actually
done
a
full
assessment
of
all
the
property,
that's
tax-exempt
and
since
2009,
so
that's
ten
years
ago.
We
need
to
do
that
again.
Plus.
P
We
need
to
make
sure
that,
when
we're
calculating
numbers
for
the
amount
of
tax
dollars
that
we're
not
getting,
we
need
to
do
that
based
off
of
the
tax
numbers
and
assessments
in
2019
standards.
We
do
that
for
everyday
Bostonians.
My
taxes
go
up,
as
does
everyone
else's
on
an
annual
basis,
because
we
assess
the
values
of
our
properties
on
an
annual
basis.
P
We're
asking
that
when
it
comes
to
pilot
payments
that
we
do
the
same
thing,
so
this
working
session
is
not
just
about
continuing
the
debate
about
how
we
can
actually
force
more
of
the
payments.
This
is
also
about
the
administration
and
the
City
Council
working
together
do
some
practical,
immediate
first
steps,
first
be
transparent
and
honest
about
how
much
money
we're
actually
not
getting
based
off
of
2019
standards
just
put
that
out
there.
P
Second,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
when
we
talk
about
community
benefits
that
the
city
is
defining
them
very
clearly
and
of
the
city
defines
them
to
the
community
lens
that
we
convene
a
workshop
or
individuals
coming
together
to
say
as
the
community.
These
are
actual
benefits
that
we
need
and
want.
They
are
not
defined
right
now,
as
we
saw
when
many
of
the
community
benefit
reports
came
in,
and
one
nonprofit
said
our
benefit
to.
P
P
So
it
has
the
money
and
that
is
not
an
educational
purpose,
managing
their
hedge
fund.
So
if
that
administration
in
DC
can
take
that
leadership,
I
would
hope
and
I
did
ask
that
this
administration
in
Boston
would
at
least
look
at
what
it
would
take.
Have
the
legal
department
assess
write
a
memo?
Do
something
about
taxing
the
endowment
of
local
nonprofits?
P
If
the
again
the
administration
in
DC
can
say,
their
nonprofit
status
is
not
enough
anymore
for
the
IRS
to
avoid
tax,
taxing
there
and
diamonds
I,
don't
know
why
the
city
of
Boston
cannot
I,
don't
even
know
why
we're
not
curious
about
that.
So
those
are
concrete,
immediate
steps.
The
administration
can
take
short
of
getting
into
the
back
and
forth
about
how
to
make
sure
these
institutions
are
paying,
and
so
this
working
session
is
again
an
invitation
for
them
to
come
to
that
table.
P
E
You,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
to
councillor
Edwards
for
her
partnership
and
in
this
work
and
what
I'd
like
to
add
to
councilor
Edwards
comments
as
we
prepare
for
this
working
session.
Is
that
we're
also
preparing
in
the
next
two
months
for
our
city's
budget
process?
And
we
know
that
during
that
process
we
talked
quite
a
bit
about
the
reliance
we
have
of
the
city
on
property
tax
and
about
seventy
percent
of
our
budget
is
property
tax
and
we
continuous
councillor
Edwards
said
we
go
back
and
we
reverse
it.
E
We
reassess
personal
property
across
our
city
regularly
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
the
same
when
it
comes
to
our
nonprofit
institutions,
cultural,
centers,
universities,
hospitals,
everybody,
that's
doing
business
in
this,
but
not
required
to
pay
taxes
on
that
property.
So
there's
an
important
need
to
get
back
to
the
table
on
this
working
session
order.
E
Does
that
I
think
it
also
will
highlight
the
need
to
bring
the
parties
back
together
to
re-energize,
to
renew
to
reconvene
the
original
pilot
task
force,
to
bring
those
parties
back
to
the
table
to
make
sure
that
the
right
people
are.
They
are
having
conversations
and
advocating
for
what
we
need
in
our
city
when
it
comes
to
these
partnerships-
and
you
know
just
like
our
taxpaying
residents
and
property
owners
in
the
city
of
Boston,
our
nonprofit
partners
rely
on
public
works.
Other
city
resources,
infrastructure,
fire
police.
E
You
know
all
of
those
things
come
when
they're
called,
and
so
this
for
us
is
calling
of
this
working
session.
The
continuing
of
the
work
is
really
a
call
for
fairness
when
it
comes
to
assessment
when
it
comes
to
a
fairness
and
partnership
and
the
need
for
these
partners
to
be
a
at
the
table
and
and
fulfilling
their
commitment
that
they
made
so
many
years
ago,
andrey
energizing
it.
So
I
look
forward
to
the
immediate
work
I
had
on
this
hearing
order.
E
I
look
forward
to
some
of
the
immediate
responses,
some
of
the
small
incremental
things
we
can
do
very
quickly
and
hope
to
do
very
quickly
in
partnership
with
the
administration,
with
the
pilot
action
group
with
our
community
with
our
nonprofit
partners,
who
have
varying
degrees
of
participation
in
pilot,
as
it
is
right
now.
So
look
forward
to
that
look
forward
to
the
work
ahead
with
all
of
you.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
K
You,
madam
president,
I,
want
to
thank
our
good
colleagues
district
council
from
East
Boston
at-large
councillors
from
Dorchester
for
bringing
this
order
forward.
It's
incredibly
important,
it's
something
that,
as
was
alluded
to
earlier,
this
has
been
ongoing
for
decades
in
the
city
of
Boston.
It
is
great
and
wonderful
that
we
have
these
institutions
here
that
are
educating
people
that
are
helping
with
our
economy.
K
That
are,
that
is
that
are
helping
the
economic
growth
in
the
City
of
Boston,
but
they
need
to
pay
their
fair
share
and,
what's
most
striking
to
me,
there
are
two
aspects
of
this
one.
We
have
some
institutions
who
have
done
a
lot
of
what's
asked.
I,
don't
think
you
know
a
lot
as
far
as
educational
and
cultural
institutions
go
they're,
not
meeting
their
hundred
percent
requirement.
There
is
a
range,
and
there
shouldn't
be.
Everyone
should
be
meeting
their
obligations.
K
We
have
folks
I
get
Boston
University,
who
are
getting
closer
to
where
they
should
be
they're,
not
there
yet
we've
other
institutions
in
my
own
district
and
Northeastern
University
in
particular
that
repeatedly
fall
short,
and
that
is
a
repeated
issue.
When
I
talk
to
constituents
in
Mission
Hill
when
I
talk
to
folks
in
the
Fenway
in
the
symphony
area
who
do
suffer
some
of
the
day-to-day
quality
of
life
impacts
of
institutional
expansion,
but
it
is
an
issue
of
fairness.
K
The
city
of
Boston
alone,
amongst
our
peer
cities,
is
hugely
dependent
on
real
estate
property
taxes
for
our
revenues.
70%
none
of
our
pure
cities
are
closed.
You
look
at
Chicago,
New,
York
Seattle
there
may
be
half
at
best.
This
is
vital
for
the
City
of
Boston.
While
it
is
a
voluntary
program
and
I
do
think,
that's
a
problem
that
it's
voluntary
we
can
do
better,
but
we
need
to
update
these
valuations.
As
we
heard
earlier.
This
is
based
on
valuations
almost
a
decade
ago.
K
I
know
many
of
my
constituents
would
be
very
happy
to
be
paying
their
real
estate
taxes
based
on
valuations
of
a
decade.
You
know
we
reached
a
reasonable
agreement
to
a
reasonable
process
of
the
pilot
working
group
about
a
decade
ago,
and
it
was
based
on
25%
of
what
the
assessed
property
taxes
would
otherwise
be.
If
that's
a
valid
agreement,
then
it
is
now,
and
we
should
update
that
that's
number
one,
that's
the
most
important
first
step
and
also
standardizing
how
we're
judging
the
other
community
benefits.
K
This
is
hugely
important
to
the
city's
fiscal
health
to
fairness
to
issues
of
equity.
We
have
so
many
people,
and
this
comes
up
over
and
over
again,
particularly
in
some
of
the
neighborhoods
I
represent,
where
young
people
in
our
communities
are
literally
looking
across
the
street
at
gleaming
towers,
whether
it's
dormitories,
whether
it's
lab
or
classroom
space,
and
that's
great-
we
want
that
here,
but
we
need
to
be
sharing
the
wealth.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
people
who
are
growing
up
across
the
street
from
Northeast
université
have
an
opportunity
to
attend.
K
Northeastern
University
have
an
opportunity
from
some
of
the
revenue
that's
going
there.
So
that's
a
long
way
of
saying
I
offer
my
wholehearted
support.
I'd
like
to
add
my
name.
We
need
to
do
better
on
this
in
a
fair
and
transparent
way,
and
that's
what
should
be
happening.
The
first
step
to
that
is
reassessing
these
property
values.
Madam
President.
J
You,
madam
president,
rise
to
have
my
name
added
look
forward
to
the
working
session
and
through
the
chair
would
suggest,
or
at
least
offer
to
the
makers,
and
it's
something
that
I
would
be
willing
to
propose
at
the
working
session
is
that
we
revisit
a
standalone
Committee
on
the
city
council
floor
for
pilot
the
city
and
the
council's
best
results
have
been
when
we
had
a
standalone
committee
on
pilot
reform.
It
was
one
that
I
created
on
the
council.
J
It
worked
and
paid
great
dividends
to
the
tune
of
tens
of
millions
of
additional
dollars
to
the
city
coffers.
I've
met
with
the
advocates
on
it.
I
know
the
advocates
want
to
sort
of
have
a
citizens
Commission,
if
you
will,
which
obviously
is
great,
but
but
presidents
of
the
colleges
and
universities
aren't
going
to
meet
with
them.
Heads
of
the
governor
fee
is
folks
not
going
to
show
the
books
to
them,
but
they
will
show
it
to
this
council
if
we
call
it
an
order
for
hearing-
or
we
have
a
meeting
here
in
the
chamber.
J
Presidents
and
CEOs
of
our
colleges,
universities
and
heads
of
government
affairs
will
show
up
and
we'll
be
forthright
with
that
information.
So,
in
addition
to
getting
those
assessed
values
at
a
quicker
pace,
I
think
having
a
standalone
committee
on
this
body
for
whether
it's
we
can
call
a
pilot
reform,
we
can
call
it
pilot
tracking.
J
We
can
call
it
call
it
anything
you
want,
but
having
everyone's
attention
and
having
this
body
being
able
to
gavel
in
presidents
and
CEOs
of
these
schools
would
be
tremendous
help
to
getting
the
answers
that
we
need
into
also
finding
out
who's,
giving
and
who's
stepping
up
to
the
plate.
Who's.
Not
so
I
offer
that
just
food
for
thought.
It
would
require
a
rule
change
because
the
rules
were
set
forth
by
you.
Madam
President
I
would
require
two-thirds
of
majority
to
change
the
rules
to
add
an
additional
committee
during
the
middle
of
the
year.
J
So
again,
just
food
for
thought.
Look
forward
to
working
with
the
sponsors
on
it,
but
I
can
just
assure
you
I,
don't
know,
madam
clerk.
At
the
time
she
had
a
front
row
seat
to
it
as
well.
We
were
having
a
hard
time
getting
the
college,
universities
and
the
other
nonprofits
our
hospitals
and
others
to
comply
and
to
come
forward.
But
when
we
had
that
stand-alone
committee,
we
had
public
hearings
in
this
very
chamber,
they
showed
up
and
if
they
didn't
show
up,
we
went
looking
for
them.
We
had
subpoena
policies,
get
them
here.
B
Clerk,
if
you
could
add
counselors
a
calm,
counselor,
flirty,
counselor,
Baker,
counselor,
Flynn,
counselor,
garrison,
counselor,
Janey
counsel,
mccarthy,
counsel,
o'malley,
counselor
woo,
as
well
as
the
chair,
docket
0
to
5.
One
will
be
assigned
to
the
committee
on
the
committee
on
ways
and
means
thank.
A
J
You,
madam
president,
at
this
time,
is
the
chair.
Moving
for
suspension
of
the
rules
in
passage
dark
at
zero
to
five
to
is
technically
a
refil
that
originated
in
2014
first
as
an
ordinance,
then
as
a
whole
new
petition.
This
Home
Rule
petition
seeks
to
increase
the
existing
Boston
residency
preference
on
civil
service
exams
from
one
year
to
three
years.
We're
all
firm
believe
is
that
our
city's
police
and
firefighters,
police
officers
and
firefighters
do
a
better
job
when
they're
more
familiar
with
our
communities.
They
know
the
streets,
they
know
the
neighborhoods.
J
Suggestion
that
came
back
from
the
legislature,
we
were
advised
to
add
the
language
quote
immediately
with
inline
4
in
the
first
sentence
of
section
2
to
explicitly
state
that
a
civil
service
applicant
for
BPD
and
BFT
must
live
in
the
City
of
Boston
for
three
is
prior
to
them
sitting
for
the
examination.
So
that
you
wouldn't
have
a
situation
where
someone
might
be
born
at
say,
you
know
st.
Elizabeth's
and
they
here
for
two
three
years
and
then
they
move
out
to
Weymouth.
Then
they
go
to
Weymouth
Public
Schools.
J
They
play
for
Weymouth,
usako,
Weymouth,
Little
League,
and
they
work
in
the
Weymouth
registrate
jobs
if
they
have
them
council,
McCarthy
and
then
all
of
a
sudden.
They
just
think
it's
a
nifty
idea
to
join
the
Boston
Police
in
the
Boston
Fire
Department
and
they
come
in
put
a
mattress
address
down
with
a
relative
and
they
and
they
get
on
the
job.
J
So
we
had
recognized
that
there
was
a
technical
clarification
with
us
needed
so
at
this
point
as
the
chair
moving
for
suspension
rules
and
passage
so
that
they're
actually
waiting
for
it
believe
it
or
not,
or
once
we
get
it
up
to
their
they'll,
get
it
passed
and
won't
see
it
take
effect
immediately.
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
Thank.
J
Had
accepted
sort
of
a
an
oral
clarification,
however,
the
Senate
did
not
so
we
be
in
the
respective
committees
of
Public
Safety.
It
could
also
at
this
point,
probably
would
be
more
I,
probably
probably
the
Bills
of
third
reading
at
this
point,
because
it's
gone
through
the
house
with
a
suggested
technical
change,
they
accept
that
it
went
to
the
Senate.
They
then
sent
it
back.
J
B
All
Thank
You
counselor
Birds
Thank
You
councillor
Flaherty
for
clarification
at
this
time.
Madam
clerk,
can
you
add
the
following
names:
councillor
Baker
councillor
Edwards
councillor
asabi
George,
councillor
Flynn,
councillor
garrison,
councillor
Janey,
councillor
McCarthy
counts,
councillor,
woo,
councilors
a
come
as
well
as
the
chair
at
this
time,
jock
at
0
to
5,
so
council,
Flaherty
who's,
a
chair
of
the
Committee
on
government
operations,
seeks
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
dock
at
zero
to
five
to
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
docked
at
zero.
B
L
Janie
you
have
the
floor.
Thank
you
so
much.
Madam
president,
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
and
thank
counselor
asabi
George
for
your
partnership
on
this
issue
and
for
your
leadership
and
advocating
for
our
students,
as
well
as
around
substance,
abuse,
disorder
and
homelessness
in
our
city.
I
want
to
also
commend
the
custodians
at
orchard
gardens
school,
who
have
to
take
time
out
of
their
schedules
to
clean
the
playground
outside
of
the
school
which
is
taking
away
from
them
to
be
able
to
clean.
L
The
actual
building
also
want
to
highlight
the
work
of
the
mobile
sharps
team,
who
are
doing
an
incredible
job
in
terms
of
picking
up
needles
all
around
our
city,
but
this
is
an
ongoing
challenge
in
our
city
and
a
problem,
and
so
we
need
more
support
and
more
resources.
As
many
of
you
know,
there
was
a
student
at
orchard
gardens
Keita
8,
who
was
pricked
by
a
discarded
needle
on
the
school
property.
This
is
not
the
first
time
that
it's
happened.
L
L
We
need
to
take
every
step
possible
to
prevent
this
from
happening
again
in
our
future,
I'm,
very
proud
to
stand
with
the
orchard
garden
school
community,
including
their
principal,
their
parents,
their
teachers
who
all
took
to
the
streets
to
call
for
action
and
to
get
more
resources
for
this
school,
so
that
this
doesn't
happen
again
and
while
I'm
talking
about
orchard
garden
school,
there
are
other
schools.
There
are
other
parks
or
other
playgrounds
that
are
dealing
with
this
issue.
L
Oftentimes
people
are
concerned
about
what's
happening
at
Clifford,
Park
and
and
other
playgrounds
in
our
city
and
throughout
the
New
Market
area.
With
this
hearing
order,
we'll
be
able
to
engage
the
community
as
well
as
city
officials,
to
see
what
more
we
can
do,
so
that
this
unfortunate
incident
does
not
happen
again.
So
thank
you
again
for
your
partnership
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you
to
explore
how
we
can
do
more
to
protect
our
children
and
keep
our
streets
clean
of
needles.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
You,
madam
president,
Thank
You
councillor
Jeannie
for
your
leadership
in
this
issue.
The
school.
The
topic
of
school
safety
is
not
new
to
the
council
floor.
It
is
unfortunate,
but
I
am
hopeful
that,
as
a
body
we
can
take
action
that
will
give
our
current
students
and
future
students
to
save
the
safe
environments
they
deserve
school
safety
is
something
I've
always
thought
about
since
I
first
started
teaching.
Certainly
since
my
four
boys
started
school,
it
has
become
even
more
important.
Today,
a
safe
community
must
exist
inside
and
outside
of
a
school
building.
E
A
safe
school
environment
is
more
than
locks
and
training
is
about
creating
a
community
that
is
safe
and
welcoming
needles
are
a
daily
threat
to
the
safety
and
well-being
of
children
and
the
community
at
large.
We
need
to
do
more
to
ensure
that
all
of
our
schools,
playgrounds
and
communities
are
kept
safe
and
clean.
We
also
need
to
have
a
better
understanding
of
the
the
real
number
of
children
and
school
faculty
who
may
have
been
exposed
and
stalked
by
sharps
and
needles
that
they
have
found
in
and
around
their
schools.
E
B
You
counselor,
sorry
George.
Anyone
else
looking
to
speaker
on
this
matter
add
their
name.
Madam
clerk,
if
you
could
add
councillor
Baker
councillor,
Flynn
councillor,
garrison,
council,
McCarthy,
council,
Malley,
councillor,
woo,
councilors
a
come
as
well
as
a
chair,
docket
zero.
Two
five
four
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
education.
A
L
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Just
last
night
a
fire
displaced,
16
residents
in
my
district
and
injured
one
last
week,
another
fire
displaced,
five
and
tragically
one
person
was
killed.
Fires
are
destructive,
they're
devastating.
They
result
in
massive
property
loss,
death
injury.
Whenever
there's
a
fire,
I
always
try
to
reach
out
to
the
families
to
ensure
that
they
know
their
rights
and
what
resources
are
available
to
them
and
to
offer
my
support
and
I
do
so
through
the
lens
of
someone
who
has
been
there.
L
So
when
my
daughter
was
three
years
old,
we
had
a
fire,
a
very
scary
event.
We
were
home
at
the
time.
Fortunately,
it
was
during
the
day.
I
made
a
bad
judgment,
call
and
went
back
upstairs
to
get
photo
albums
because
the
fire
was
way
down.
The
hall
and
I
thought
I
had
plenty
of
time.
I
think
we
all
underestimated
how
quickly
fires
move.
Fortunately,
I
was
able
to
get
her
out
and
myself
out
safely,
but
that
is
not
anything
that
anyone
should
ever
do.
L
My
sister
experienced
a
fire
when
she
was
pregnant
with
her
youngest
son
was
displaced.
My
mom,
just
in
2012,
was
displaced.
All
three
fires
that
I'm
speaking
of
and
in
my
family
we
were
all
displaced
and
only
in
my
mom's
case
was
she
able
to
move
back.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
families
have
to,
or
individuals
have
to
deal
with,
not
just
loss
of
property.
L
What
they're
going
to
do
next
they're
missing
time
from
work
to
deal
with
these
issues?
There
are
costs
associated
with
trying
to
move,
and
it's
just
very
traumatic
and
very
overwhelming
I
do
appreciate
the
work
that
the
city
is
doing.
We've
got
lots
of
we've
got
departments
within
our
city
as
well
as
agencies
throughout
our
neighborhoods
who
respond
to
fires.
I
certainly
want
to
apply
the
the
fire
department
and
EMS.
L
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
the
city
Neighborhood
Services,
the
office
of
housing,
stability,
the
Boston
Housing
Authority,
and
all
that
they
do
to
make
sure
that
families
can
quickly
find
more
permanent
housing
when
they're
displaced
from
fires,
and
then
obviously
folks,
like
the
Red
Cross
for
the
amazing
work
that
they
do
and
often
times,
renters
have
even
more
of
a
burden
in
terms
of
just
not
understanding
their
rights
if
they
don't
have
renter's
insurance,
it's
incredibly
difficult
for
them,
and
so
I
just
think.
It's
it's
important
for
us
to
have
this
conversation.
B
You
councillor
Janey
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
add
their
name,
madam
clerk.
If
you
could
add
councillor
asabi
George
councillor,
Flynn
councillor,
Flaherty,
councillor,
garrison,
councillor,
O'malley,
councillor,
Wu,
councilors
a
come
as
well
as
the
chair,
docket
zero.
Two
five
five
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
Public
Safety
and
criminal
justice.
E
You,
madam
president,
as
I
mentioned
in
our
opening
remarks
earlier
today
today
marks
the
39th
annual
homeless
census
volunteers,
along
with
mayor
Walsh,
will
go
through
all
of
the
neighborhoods
of
Boston
to
survey
and
offer
shelter
and
services
to
people
staying
on
the
street.
The
homeless
census
counts
people
in
two
ways.
First,
it
tracks
how
many
people
are
using
services
like
emergency,
shelters,
transitional
housing
and
treatment
programs.
Second,
the
city
collects
information
about
host
household
demographics,
income
level,
family
size
and
the
community
of
origin
for
each
person
together.
E
This
data
helps
us
understand
who
we
are
serving
and
what
the
gaps
in
our
services
are.
It
helps
us
understand
our
priorities,
so
we
can
design
even
better
policies.
Census
results
also
inform
federal
funding
and
help
measure
progress
in
our
efforts
to
prevent
and
end
homelessness.
Convening
a
hearing
will
allow
the
city
to
examine
the
results
of
the
2019
homeless,
census,
its
changes
over
time
and
identify
gaps
in
methodology
of
collecting
data
to
ensure
that
we
have
the
best
system
in
place
to
track
and
support
those
experiencing
homelessness.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
C
You,
madam
president,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
my
colleague,
councillor
George,
for
her
leadership
on
this
important
issue.
I
always
enjoy
attending
the
census.
Count
I
attended
it
when
I
was
when
I
was
young
and
looking
forward
to
joining
tonight.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
mayor,
mayor,
Walsh
and
his
administration,
especially
on
homeless
veterans,
making
sure
that
our
returning
veterans
have
a
place
to
live.
C
I
know
Court
Street,
the
one
going
Center
for
homeless
veterans
does
an
excellent
job,
but
also
the
mayor
in
his
administration
have
also
done
an
excellent
work
in
making
sure
that
our
veterans
are
treated
fairly,
have
an
opportunity
to
engage
in
mental
health.
Counseling
engage
in
housing
services.
Some
looking
forward
to
joining
some
of
my
colleagues
tonight
and
I'd
like
to
add
my
name
to
that
as
well.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
B
E
Thank
you
again.
Madam
President
I
am
refiling
an
important
hearing
order
to
examine
mental
health
and
suicide
prevention
resources
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Nearly
two
months
ago,
I
held
a
hearing
with
13
practitioners
from
leading
hospitals,
universities
and
advocacy
organizations
to
discuss
the
impact
of
mental
health
and
suicide
on
Boston
residents.
Each
panelist
spoke
about
their
own
experience
with
their
patients,
but
many
of
the
themes
were
consistent.
First,
mental
health
and
suicide
is
a
public
health
crisis
in
the
city.
Second,
there
are
not
enough
providers
for
those
that
need
services.
E
According
to
the
Kaiser
Family
Foundation
Massachusetts
is
identified
as
a
state
as
a
state
with
a
shortage
of
mental
health
care
professionals,
with
only
42%
of
the
need
met.
Third
insurance
and
Medicaid
reimbursement
for
mental
health
services
are
so
low
that
many
providers
are
choosing
not
to
accept
insurance.
This
disproportionately
affects
low-income
patients.
It
is
also
troubling
to
know
the
challenges
families
have
faced
when
trying
to
access
services
for
their
children.
E
Lastly,
there
is
a
trend
that
is
that
it
is
more
profitable
to
cut
mental
health
services
because
of
that
low
reimbursement
rate
and
add
different
services
to
any
clinical
pet
plant
panel.
Excuse
me,
I
will
work
with
my
colleagues
at
the
State
House
to
advocate
for
mental
health
parity
in
order
to
ensure
that
providers
have
the
resources
they
need
to
treat
our
residents
our
residents,
our
residents
and
our
resident
children
deserve
to
access
a
comprehensive
and
affordable
service
services
of
mental
health.
I
look
forward
to
continuing
these
conversations
and
finding
solutions
to
these
pressing
issues.
B
You
councillor
sabi
George,
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
add
their
name.
Madam
Clerk,
if
you
could
add
councillor
Edwards
counsel,
Flaherty,
councillor
Flynn,
councillor,
garrison,
councillor,
Janey,
Council
O'malley
come
through
counselors
a
calm
as
well
as
the
chair,
docket
zero.
Two
five
seven
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
homelessness,
mental
health
and
recovery.
E
You
and
once
again,
madam
president,
I,
will
try
to
keep
this
short.
This
is
again
a
refil
to
convene
a
collaborative
working
session
to
tackle
the
opioid
crisis,
as
the
opioid
crisis
continues
to
persist
and
and
lives
continue
to
be
lost,
the
need
for
collaboration
deepens.
It
is
through
strong
partnerships
between
local
state
and
federal
agencies
that
change
will
occur.
Last
year
we
held
two
successful
working
sessions
with
members
of
the
State
House
in
the
City
Council
to
find
points
of
collaboration
regarding
the
opioid
crisis.
E
As
the
State
House
moves
into
its
new
legislative
session,
it
will
be
imperative
to
advocate
for
increased
funding
for
on-the-ground
prevention,
treatment
and
recovery
solutions.
We
also
know-
and
it's
noted
in
this
hearing
order,
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
exploring
and
analyzing
all
opportunities
to
address
the
opioid
epidemic,
including
a
feasibility
study
of
a
public
health
surge
targeting
major
encampments,
reducing
criminal
activity
supporting
the
unsheltered
population,
responding
to
the
needs.
E
We
also
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
talking
about
a
conversation
we've
had
here
at
the
City
Council
previously
regarding
safe
injection
facilities
or
safe
consumption
sites,
as
well
as
a
presentation
of
our
work,
a
small
group
of
us
went
to
Vancouver
to
visit
some
of
their
facilities
and
we'd
like
to
present
that
to
the
council
and
to
the
to
the
public.
This
working
session
will
give
us
that
opportunity
and.
E
B
President
Thank
You
councillor
asabi
George
anyone
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
or
add
their
name.
Madam
Clerk,
if
you
could
add
councillor
Baker
councillor,
Edwards
counsel,
Flaherty,
councillor,
Flynn,
counter
Janey,
Council,
McCarthy,
council,
Malley
counter
whoo
councillors
a
come
as
well
as
the
chair,
docket
zero.
Two
five
eight
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
homelessness,
mental
health
and
recovery.
Docket.
A
E
You,
madam
president,
is
expecting
expecting
you
to
go
first,
but
again,
this
is
a
refil
from
a
hearing
we
had
towards
the
end
of
last
year
and
we
will
sort
of
continue
with
that
work,
but
also
make
sure
that
we
have
a
tower
at
this
hearing.
One
scheduled
that
we've
heard
updates
from
the
city
regarding
the
some
of
the
challenges
that
we're
facing
with
the
permit
process,
where
we
are,
and
in
current
litigation
that
is
being
pursued
by
the
city
of
Quincy.
How
many?
What
are
the
programs
that
we're
expecting
to
see
out
there?
E
What
are
the
recovery,
the
number
of
recovery
beds
we
know
recovery
beds
are
a
really
important
piece
to
the
work
that
ahead.
What
are
the
services
that
will
be
planned
for
Long,
Island
and
I?
Think
the
answer
that
we
all
are
looking
for
when
will
Long
Island
be
open?
When
can
we
see
services
out
there,
because,
as
we
go
about
the
city
of
Boston,
regardless
of
the
neighborhood,
the
question
is
often
asked:
when
is
Long
Island
going
to
be
open?
E
Because
we
see
that
as
an
answer
or
at
least
one
of
the
answers
to
to
the
problems
that
we
face
when
considering
the
opioid
crisis,
so
I
look
forward
to
that
work
ahead,
getting
back
to
it
and
hopefully
finding
and
hearing
the
news
that
Quincy
has
come
to
its
senses
and
realizes
that
Long
Island
is
an
important
piece
to
the
puzzle.
We
talk
about
recovery,
not
just
for
residents
in
the
city
of
Boston,
but
residents
of
the
region,
residents
of
the
Commonwealth
residents
of
the
city
of
Quincy.
Thank
you
very
much.
Madam
president.
Thank.
B
B
I
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
president,
quickly.
I
want
to
thank
the
sponsors.
I
also
just
want
to
you
know.
As
we
talked
at
the
councillor,
asabi
George
mentioned
Vancouver
and
I
was
one
of
the
group
that
went
there,
but
I
just
want
to
stress
again
as
we
go
into
this
refile
and
go
into
this
hearing
and
we've
all
agreed.
You
know
this
is
an
opportunity,
not
just
for
Boston,
but
this
is
an
opportunity
for
the
Commonwealth
the
step
up.
It's
not
it
just
can't
be
Boston's
bill.
I
It
has
to
be
the
surrounding
towns
in
this
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
that
have
got
to
help
us,
because
the
people
who
are
in
need
from
Provincetown
out
to
Mount
Greylock.
It's
not
just
Boston,
that's
suffering,
but
we
have
so
many
facilities.
We
have
so
many
hospitals
and
so
much
outreach
that
people
from
all
over
come
here
and
the
people
in
the
surrounding
towns
go.
Thank
you
very
much.
Boston
there
always
comes
down
to
supporting,
so
this
has
to
be
an
effort
for
all
the
communities
in
all
the
towns.
B
You
councillor
McCarthy
at
this
time,
madam
clerk,
if
you
could
actually
because
it's
docket
and
we've
gotten
out
of
this
habit,
was
previously
jointly
assigned
we're
going
to
continue
to
keep
it
in
both
those
committees,
so
docket
zero.
Two
five
nine
will
be
jointly
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
homelessness,
mental
health
and
recovery
and
planning
development
and
transportation.
A
L
Much
so
I
know
several
hearing
orders
have
been
introduced
to
this
body
or
from
this
body
in
the
past
regarding
the
achievement
gap
in
Boston
Public
Schools,
when
I
was
an
advocate,
doing
work
on
education
issues.
You
know
I've
worked
with
my
predecessor
as
well
as
his
predecessor
on
this
issue,
as
well
as
councillor
John
Connolly
when
he
chaired
the
Education
Committee
on
this
issue.
So
this
is
not
a
new
issue.
L
They
were
not
prepared
to
finish
college
some
found
themselves
homeless
and
we
for
me
it
was
just
a
kind
of
a
call
to
action
to
say
now
is
the
time
to
introduce
this
hearing
order
again
to
bring
all
people
to
the
table
advocates
that
I've
had
the
the
great
pleasure
of
working
with,
like
the
Lord
for
civil
rights,
ACLU
and
double
ACP.
The
black
educators
alliance
in
Massachusetts.
L
Certainly
all
of
the
amazing
teachers
who
are
doing
incredibly
hard
work
every
single
day
with
very
limited
resources,
making
sure
that
we're
engaging
the
council
engaging
the
mayor's
office,
the
superintendent,
the
School
Committee.
Anyone
in
everyone.
We
know
that
the
data
is
staggering
either
from
that
Globe
report.
If
we're
just
looking
at
MCAT
scores-
and
we
know
that
standardized
tests
don't
tell
the
whole
story
when
we're
talking
about
school
quality.
L
But
what
they
do
show
is
certainly
a
persistent
gap
that
often
widens
and
certainly
is
affects
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
students,
even
more
whether
those
are
students
with
disabilities.
Students
are
who,
at
language,
English
language
learners,
some
of
our
immigrant
children,
children
who
come
from
poor
communities
and
it's
time
that
we
do
all
that
we
can
and
continue
to
keep
this
at
the
forefront
of
everything
that
we
do
so
that
we
are
making
some
progress
here
in
2016.
L
I'm
sure
you
all
know
that
the
School
Committee
adopted
unanimously
a
policy
on
eliminating
the
opportunity
and
achievement
gaps
and
Boston
Public
Schools,
and
it's
time
that
we
check
in
to
see
where
they
are
in
terms
of
implementation
and
what
has
happened,
what
hasn't
happened
and
what
is
needed
to
make
sure
that
we
are
in
fact
making
progress
in
this
area.
So
thank
you
for
your
work
and
I
look
forward
to
engaging
with
all
of
you
as
we
have
this
important
conversation.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
B
You
councillor
Janey
anyone
looking
to
add
their
name
or
speak
on
this
matter.
Madam
Clerk,
if
you
could
add
councillor
Edwards
councillor,
asabi
George,
councillor
Flaherty,
councillor,
Flynn,
councillor,
garrison,
councillor,
McCarthy,
Council,
Malley,
councillor,
rule
councillors,
a
come
as
well
as
a
chair
talk
at
zero.
Two
six
zero
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
education,
docket.
B
K
You,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
for
your
partnership
on
this
important
resolution.
This
is
in
many
ways
similar
to
resolution.
This
body
has
passed
earlier
this
year
last
year,
the
year
before,
probably
the
year
before,
that
you
know
temporary
protective
status
as
an
important
designation
from
the
Department
of
Homeland
Security.
That
is
based
on
the
situation
in
an
immigrants
home
country
either
because
of
political
unrest.
K
Here
in
Boston
is
pursuing
a
graduate
degree
in
Northeastern
University
and
is
essentially
at
their
wit's
end,
and
they
said
you
know,
we
don't
know.
If
there's
anything
you
can
do,
don't
know.
If
there's
anything,
anyone
could
do
under
the
current
climate-
and
you
know
I'm
sad
to
say
this-
is
all
we
can
do
in
the
Boston.
City
Council
is
to
lend
our
voice
in
this
struggle
for
these
folks
who
are
here,
we're
working
who
are
studying
and
whose
home
countries
are
too
dangerous
to
return
to
because
of
earthquake
because
of
natural
disaster.
K
So
we
were
calling
on
the
Trump
administration
on
the
Department
of
Homeland
Security
once
again
to
extend
temporary
protective
status,
because
that's
what
the
law
says
it
should
be
done.
This
is
about
following
the
law.
There
is
discretion
in
federal
law
to
the
President
to
the
partner
Homeland
Security,
but
the
standards
are
pretty
clear
if
someone's
home
country
is
too
dangerous
to
return
to,
TPS
should
be
extended
and
they
should
be
able
to
stay
here.
K
So
I
won't
belabor
the
point,
because
we
have
talked
about
this
over
and
over
again,
because
I
think
all
of
us
are
sadly
becoming
familiar
with
the
details
of
temporary
protected
status
with
many
other
immigration
classifications.
Do
the
Trump
administration's
continual
undermining
of
the
law
and
the
welcoming
place
that
this
country
should
be
so
I've
asked
them
that
we
suspend
and
adopt
this
resolution,
make
sure
we
send
it
to
Washington
and
form
our
congressional
delegation
and
do
everything
we
can
to
do
this
in
hope.
K
B
You
counselors
a
command.
Thank
you
for
the
partnership,
my
to
receive
that
email
in
some
other
calls
with
respect
to
folks
thinking
that
this
country
was
sort
of
left
off
the
list,
and
it's
sad
that
we
have
to
revisit
this
again,
but
I
appreciate
the
work
that
you
continue
to
do
and
I
appreciate
the
partnership
at
this
time.
Anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
or
add
their
name.
Excuse
me
counselor
Flynn.
You
have
before
thank.
C
You,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
to
counsel
as
a
command
council.
President
Campbell
I
had
the
opportunity
this
week.
Maybe
it's
it's
somewhat
related
by
the
opportunity
this
week
to
join
Council
at
Edwards
that
at
a
community
forum
in
Dorchester
on
a
similar
situation,
that's
happening
to
the
Vietnamese
community
and
a
lot
of
these
Vietnamese
came
over
here
after
the
the
after
the
communist
government.
C
Even
this
Saturday,
we
had
a
an
event
in
the
South
Boston
waterfront
I
believe
they're
about
2,000
Vietnamese
residents.
That
came
for
a
festival,
and
they
were
talking
about
how
proud
they
are
to
be
here
in
the
United
States
they're
contributing
every
day.
The
Mayor
was
there,
council
was
there
and
it's
an
honor
for
me
to
not
only
be
part
of
that
event
on
Saturday,
but
to
work
with
the
colleagues
here
on
the
City
Council.

As
the
letter
that's
addressed,
madam
clerk,
acknowledging
the
city's
count.
City
Council's
Committee
on
Community
Preservation,
like
to
reappoint
Matt,
keep
to
the
city's
Community
Preservation
Committee
Matt,
as
everyone
remembers,
was
one
of
the
four
counseling
appointments
of
the
Community
Preservation
Committee,
and
it
was
originally
appointed
for
one
year
and
took
it
under
the
proviso
that,
in
the
event
that
everything
was
working
well,
he
would
be
reappointed
for
the
three-year
term,
which
ran
and
expired
back
on
in
2018.
So
he's
actually
been
technically
a
holdover.
J
It
should
be
noted
that
the
three
other
appointments
are
various
staggered
terms.
So
for
clarification,
the
council
will
be
addressing
just
this
appointment
and
will
be
addressing
the
other
appointments
at
a
later
time
when
they
come
up.
So
given
his
professional
background,
the
feedback
has
been
tremendous
in
terms
of
the
value
that
Matt
Kieffer
has
added
to
the
community
for
human
preservation.
Our
committee,
his
acumen,
the
amount
of
time
that
he's
been
spending
on
it.
J
He
has
perfect
attendance,
I'm
told
as
well,
so
given
that
a
liking
that
seek
to
suspend
and
pass
docked
at
zero
to
six
two
and
continue
reappointment
key
furinkan
to
a
three
determine,
allow
him
to
continue
doing
the
great
work
that
he's
doing
on
the
council's
behalf.
As
a
council
representative
to
the
communication,
Preservation
Committee.
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
Thank.
B
B
B
Garrison
seeks
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
dock
at
zero
to
six
for
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
duck
at
zero.
Two
six
four
has
been
passed:
okay,
moving
on
to
the
green
sheets,
anybody
wishing
to
remove
a
matter
from
the
green
sheets
do
so
now,
council
already
looking
to
remove
a
matter
from
the
green
sheets.
B
Actually
I
think
even
I've
skipped
late
files
and
apparently
we
have
a
couple,
so
my
apologies
take
it
a
step
backwards
at
this
time,
I'm
informed
by
the
clerk
that
there
are
two
late
file
matters
which,
in
the
absence
of
objection,
will
be
added
to
the
today's
agenda.
Any
objections
I'm
at
this
time,
the
too
late
file
matters
will
be
added
to
the
agenda.
Madam
clerk,
if
you
could
read
the
first
late
file
matter,
which
is
a
personnel
order,
thank.
B
A
J
Floor.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
guess
it's
somewhat
self-explanatory
for
those
that
are
familiar
with
it.
We're
looking
for
the
VRA
to
halt
the
article
80
process
on
776
on
the
street.
This
committee,
this
is
driven
by
the
community
community.
Members
have
already
spent
an
extensive
amount
of
time
attending
meetings
on
this
project,
a
total
of
8
public
meetings
and
six
impact
advisory
group
meetings.
During
all
of
the
14
meetings.
J
The
question
it
begs
the
question
as
to
why
they're
in
the
article
ad
process
in
the
first
place
so
communities
on
the
siege
there's
so
many
development
projects
happening.
This
project
has
taken
everyone's
attention
away
from
the
growth
zone.
From
the
rezoning
of
Broadway
and
other
major
projects
that
are
happening
in
and
around
the
neighborhood,
and
particularly
on
the
Southwest
Waterfront,
so
we're
just
asking
for
a
TV
timeout
here
and
we're
hopeful
that
that
TV
time
oh
the
proposal,
the
proponents
will
be
able
to
secure
an
agreement
from
Massport.
J
However,
if
you
decide
that
you're
not
going
to
give
me
permission,
then
we'll
wasted
everyone's
time
with
resources
and,
more
importantly,
the
anxiety
level
from
folks
in
the
neighborhood
has
reached
an
all-time
high,
they're
meeting,
doubt
they're
meeting
doubt
they're
also
condo
doubt
but
they're
meeting
doubt
as
well,
and
this
plays
a
big
part
of
it.
So
our
hope
is
that
we
just
take
a
TV
timeout
called
the
article
ad
process.
Allow
the
proponents
to
go
and
secure
the
necessary
approvals
that
they
need
in
order
to
move
forward
within
the
article
ad
process.
J
It's
equivalent
to
putting
again
they're
happy
for
the
horse.
I
hope
is
that
the
community
will
get
an
opportunity
to
look
at
to
one
or
two
of
the
alternative
proposals
that
are
in
the
initial
submission,
but
until
we
get
to
that
point,
we're
just
gonna
continue
to
sort
of
chase
that
tail
on
this
one.
So
I
joined
my
elected
colleagues
in
an
effort
to
restore
some
sanity
to
this
process
and
and
allow
allow
them
to
secure
the
appropriate
agreements
that
they
need
in
order
to
do
what
they're
looking
to
do.
So.
Thank
you
very
president.
J
C
Madam
President,
I,
think
counsel.
If
I
already
said
it
best,
my
community
that
I
represent,
wants
to
make
sure
that
they
have
a
voice
in
this
process.
They
feel
like
you
know.
We
have
too
much
development
going
on.
We
have
so
many
condos
that
are
going
up
so
fast
that
we
have
a
transportation
system
that
is
not
able
to
get
out
people
from
South
Boston
into
downtown
Boston.
Pedestrian
safety
is
a
major
concern.
C
So
there's
a
lot
of
quality
of
life
issues
impacting
this
proposal,
and
you
know
the
people
of
South
Boston
have
said
clearly
that
they
want
to
halt
to
this
process.
They
want
to
learn
more
and
they
need
their
elected
officials
to
stand
with
them
to
make
sure
that
the
neighborhood
voice
is
respected
and
heard
at
the
Statehouse
at
City
Hall
and
at
other
governmental
agencies.
Also,
we've
heard
many
times
from
the
longshoremen
from
the
Commons
Union.
C
The
longshoremen
want
to
protect
the
working
port
of
Boston
that
we
fought
for
so
long
to
build
up
in
the
in
the
Commons.
Union
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
have
a
good
transportation
that
works
for
everybody
that
we're
able
to
effectively
transport
people
from
South
Boston
into
into
downtown
Boston.
We
are
struggling
with
that
right
now.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
No.
B

you

Flynn

this
time.

this
