Boston City Council Meeting on January 29, 2020
A

A

A
A
A
A
Thank
you,
I've
been
informed
by
the
clerk
that
a
quorum
is
present
at
this
time.
I
would
ask
all
counselors
to
end
guess
to
rise
today.
The
invocation
will
be
given
by
our
illustrious
clerk
after
the
invocation.
I
would
ask
all
members
to
remain
standing
as
we
will
recite
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
Madam
clerk.
B
On
a
new
year,
Oh
God
of
our
being
and
becoming
we
enter
a
new
year
in
the
spirit
of
reflection,
we
look
back
to
decisions
made
and
issues
we
have
dealt
with
and
we
look
ahead
to
the
issues
of
the
coming
year.
The
decisions
that
we
have
yet
to
make.
We
ask
you
for
wisdom.
We
ask
you
for
strength
in
helping
us
to
become
better
servants
of
your
love.
We
take
this
time
at
the
turning
of
the
year
to
thank
you
for
the
gifts
of
another
year.
B
B
On
this
day,
we
acknowledge
issues
that
generate
a
lot
of
feelings.
May
you
grant
our
public
servants
wisdom
to
make
the
decisions
that
will
bring
the
greatest
good
to
the
greatest
number
of
people?
We
ask
your
blessings
and
guidance
in
this
new
year.
We
pray
in
the
many
names
by
which
you
are
known,
amen.
A
A
A
A
Bless
you
thank
you
so
much.
Madam
clerk,
before
we
move
on
the
chair,
moves
for
new
language
of
rule
44
to
reflect
the
new
lobbying
ordinance
that
was
passed
last
session,
all
in
favor,
say
aye,
all
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it,
and
now
the
chair
moves
for
passage
of
the
amended
docket
zero.
Two,
eight
nine
did
you
want
to
speak.
D
To
speak
on
the
amended
rules
and
speak
to
one
point:
in
the
committee
assignments
when
I
took
office
in
2016,
I
worked
to
create
the
Committee
on
homelessness,
mental
health
and
recovery,
but
then
council,
president
Wu,
because
the
opioid
epidemic
was
ravaging
all
of
our
because
we
were
faced
with
the
deeply
interwoven
crisis
of
homelessness,
pervasive
trauma
and
unaddressed,
mental
health
issues
and
the
opioid
epidemic,
and
that
reality
remains
true
today.
I
believe,
then,
and
continue
to
believe
that
these
issues
deserve
our
specific,
concentrated
and
undivided
attention,
because
the
devastating
impact
in
Boston
continues
today.
D
So
I
must
express
my
disappointment
that
the
Committee
on
homelessness,
mental
health
and
recovery
no
longer
exists.
This
committee
was
formed
because
creating
solutions
for
the
opioid
crisis
is
not
just
about
addiction.
It's
about
unemployment,
it's
about
poverty,
it's
about
homelessness
and
mental
health.
We
can't
talk
about
opioids.
Without
talking
about
the
crisis
of
affordable
housing.
You
can't
help
an
individual
find
recovery
if
they
don't
have
a
place
to
live.
We
can't
talk
about
homelessness
without
talking
about
mental
health
issues
that
often
contribute
to
homelessness.
In
the
first
place.
D
This
committee
was
intended
to
lift
up
the
issues
impacting
communities
who
are
always
left
behind
the
poor
disenfranchised
communities
who
continue
to
be
disproportionately
impacted
by
this
epidemic,
our
families
and
kids
in
Roxbury
Dorchester
in
the
South
End
and
across
the
city
who
bear
the
brunt
of
this
crisis.
By
separating
these
issues,
we
lose
our
effectiveness
to
develop
holistic
and
comprehensive
solutions
for
this
crisis.
More
importantly,
we
further
marginalize
these
issues
and
our
most
vulnerable
residents.
D
Obviously,
this
work
is
very
personal
to
me.
It's
personal
to
my
team
and
many
of
us
in
this
room
and
the
countless
providers
I've
worked
with
across
the
city
of
Boston
over
the
last
four
years.
I
remain
committed
to
working
with
all
of
you
on
these
issues
and
then
to
make
sure
as
a
body
we
do
not
forget
our
most
vulnerable,
those
who
are
struggling
and
need
our
support,
our
families
and
children
experiencing
homelessness.
Our
black
and
brown
communities,
disproportionately
impacted
whose
lives
and
problems
are
routinely
marginalized
and
left
behind.
D
I
will
continue
this
work
and
support
our
most
vulnerable
to
make
sure
that
we
end
homelessness,
that
we
create
better
access
to
mental
health
services
that
we
help
individuals
find
repair.
This
needs
to
be
a
top
priority
for
the
Boston
City
Council
needs
to
be
a
top
priority
for
the
city
of
Boston
I.
Look
forward
to
the
work
ahead.
I
look
forward
to
continuing
my
commitment
in
the
commitment
of
my
office
on
this
work
ahead.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
A
You
so
much
councillor,
asabi,
George
and
I
want
to
go
on
the
record
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
in
this
space
for
those
who
are
in
the
audience
or
watching
at
home.
Please
know
the
commitment
to
homelessness
and
recovery.
Services
is
a
priority
for
this
body.
The
issues
around
recovery
and
mental
health
will
be
addressed
in
our
new
public
health
committee
and
the
issues
around
homelessness
will
be
addressed
in
our
Housing
Committee.
Thank
you
again
for
that.

Thank

Thank

So
jacket
zero.
Two
four
eight
through
zero,
two
five
zero
I've
been
read
it
Brent
in
was
that
right,
I
got
pretty
I'll,
just
quickly
speak
to
them
separately.
Apologies
for
the
confusion
as
chair
of
Public
Safety
was
waiting
for
the
rules,
but
they
were
going
to
do
it
so
again:
Madam
President,
my
apologies,
so
docket
zero,
two
four
eight,
given
its
that
it's
a
small
grant
of
just
fifty
thousand
dollars,
is
pretty
self-explanatory.
F
It
will
fund
high
visibility,
traffic
enforcement
of
motor
vehicle
laws,
not
limited
to
speeding
and
aggressive
driving,
impaired
driving
and
occupant
protection.
This
is
a
grant
that
the
department's
received
before
we've
had
hearings
on
and
in
the
past,
nothing
has
changed.
If
anything,
they
were
looking
for
additional
resources
to
do
this
work.
So
I
asked
us
chair
of
Public,
Safety
and
Criminal
Justice
that
we
used
to
spend
the
rules
and
pass
docket
zero.
Two
four
eight
for
jacket,
0
to
49
again
self-explanatory.
F
It's
a
small
amount
that
we
want
to
get
to
the
department
as
soon
as
possible.
It
is
a
$10,000
grant
self-explanatory,
we'll
fund
initiatives
that
support
health
and
wellness
for
the
members
of
the
police
department,
as
well
as
those
officers
that
are
injured
as
well,
so
seeking
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
docket
zero,
two
four
nine
and
lastly,
dog
at
zero,
two
five
zero
again
pretty
self-explanatory.
The
department
would
like
to
receive
the
vehicle
as
soon
as
possible.
F
A

thank
you
so
much
for
the
confusion.

you.

at

Two
six
six
notice
was
received
from
the
clerk
I'm,
sorry
in
in
accordance
with
chapter
six
of
the
ordinance
of
1979.
Regarding
action
taken
by
the
mayor
on
papers
acted
upon
by
the
City
Council
at
its
meeting
of
December
4th
2019
docket
number
zero.
B
A
D
Transportation
budget
for
fiscal
year,
20
we've
prepared
for
fiscal
year
21s
budget.
Over
the
last
few
years,
I've
held
a
bps
transportation
budget
hearing
so
that
the
council
is
more
prepared
for
the
upcoming
budget
cycle.
Bps
continues
to
have
cost
overruns
year
after
year
and
continues
to
have
a
chaos
inducing
chaos
inducing
transportation
issue
issues,
particularly
at
the
start
of
each
school
year.
D
So
the
council
can
have
a
more
accurate
picture
of
the
BPS
transportation
budget
to
date,
spending
to
date
so
that
we
can
evaluate
potential
savings,
look
for
improvements
and
funding
and
advocate
for
a
more
reasonable
and
appropriately
appropriated
transportation
budget
for
fiscal
year
21.
Unlike
some
of
these
other
education,
focused
hearing
orders.
This
one
I
asked
be
sent
to
the
Committee
on
ways
and
means:
okay,
wonderful,.
G
Yes,
the
diligence
of
our
education
chair
and
also
remind
folks
that
we're
educating
less
students,
thousands
of
less
students
in
which
means
we're
transporting
less
students,
yet
transportation
costs
continue
to
skyrocket,
that's
very
precious
funds
that
would
be
better
used
in
the
classroom
as
opposed
to
brake
repair
and
windshield
wipers,
etc.
So
time
has
come
to
to
bring
these
folks
in
to
find
out
why
we
see
transportation
costs
continue
to
spiral
out
of
control
at
the
same
time
that
were
wonderful.
G
F
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
want
to
thank
councillor
Asami
George
for
her
leadership,
not
only
the
education
committee,
but
also
on
this
particular
issue.
To
echo
the
comments
made
by
councillor
Flaherty,
we
do
have
a
declining
school
population,
and
yet
the
transportation
costs
continue
to
go
up
and
will
continue
to
go
up
because
there's
nothing
we
have
in
place
now
that
will
cap
those
costs.
F
So
I
would
hope
that
at
the
hearing
the
Department
administration
would
come
with
ways
in
which
we
either
can
cap
those
costs
reduce
them,
don't
see
how
that's
possible,
given
the
current
arrangement
in
the
contract,
but
it
would
be
nice
to
have
some
creative
solutions
brought
to
that
hearing,
not
just
a
simple
update
on
the
numbers
as
to
ways
in
which
we
can
reduce
that
and
redirect
those
resources
to
the
classroom
into
the
school
level.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank
You
councillor,
sorry
George.
Thank.
A
A
D
You
again,
madam
president,
this
hearing
order
will
give
the
students
of
the
Boston
Student
Advisory
Council
an
opportunity
to
share
their
policy
agenda
with
this
body
as
a
City
Council,
we
vote
on
the
budget
that
impacts
our
students
daily
lives,
so
we
should
hear
from
them
about
their
core
issues.
Hopes
and
concerns
for
their
schools
in
this
city
be
sac
currently
has
representation
from
every
High

D
D
You
this
again,
is
a
refil
from
last
year
to
create
a
Boston
city's,
so
youth
council
providing
our
youth
with
opportunities
for
civic
engagement
and
contributing
to
government
policy,
as
it's
critical
for
us
to
help
them
become
strong
leader.
Stronger
leaders
for
our
future
I
look
forward
to
working
with
councilor
Mejia
and
all
of
you
to
establish
HCC
UIC
as
a
pathway
for
our
youth
to
get
first-hand
experience
and
how
government,
and
in
particularly
the
city
of
Boston
and
its
council
works.
Thank.
H
For
us,
when
we
say
all
means
all,
we
really
do
believe
that
young
people
should
be
at
the
center
of
every
conversation
that
we're
having
and
I
look
forward
to
partnering
with
you
I'm,
bringing
this
council
forward
and,
more
importantly,
it
should
not
just
be
a
transactional
voice,
but
that
we
create
an
opportunity
for
young
people
to
be
on
boards
and
commissions
and
we're
really
thoughtful
about
the
role
that
they
play
and
helping
to
move
the
city
forward
and
I
look
forward
to
collaborating
with
you
on
this.
Thank
you
thank.
B
A
D
You
this
is
a
hearing
order
that
is
a
refile
to
revisit
the
conversation
around
Madison
Park
technical
vocational
high
school
with
colleagues,
counselors
Jamie,
and
will
we've
been
we've
co-sponsored
this
hearing
and
this
work.
Over
the
last
few
years,
we've
held
multiple
conversations
and
hearings
and
working
sessions
to
hear
from
students
faculty
advocates
the
teachers,
union
and
partners
in
this
work.
These
conversations
have
produced
certain
recommendations
for
changes
to
the
admissions
policy,
how
to
increase
or
why
to
increase
funding
for
Madison
Park
and
to
build
out
Madison
Park
partnerships
I'm
hopeful.
D
I
You,
madam
president,
I
wanted
to
rise
to
thank
the
lead,
sponsor
and
and
yourself
for
continued
partnership
on
this
I
think
it's
pretty
clear
just
how
transformational
this
would
be
for
the
city
to
have
a
premiere,
state-of-the-art
facility
with
with
everything
that
our
students
needs
be
accessing
this
vocational
pathway.
We
have
the
resources
in
Boston
to
do
it
and
the
students
are
talented
and
brilliant.
We've
met
them
at
the
school.
The
faculty
are
excited
and
ready
to
go.
I
We've
been
out
to
see
schools
and
other
parts
of
the
state
and
when
you're
standing
in
some
of
those
buildings
such
as
in
Worcester,
you
just
sense
how
possible
it
is
for
Boston
if
we
can
just
prioritize
and
take
care
of
some
of
the
issues
around
governance
funding
and
facilities.
So
looking
forward
to
continuing
this
and
seeing
real
progress
this
year.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
so
much
and
the
only
thing
I'll
say,
is
I'm
looking
forward
to
partnering
with
the
two
of
you
and
getting
this
work
done.
Anyone
else
looking
to
add
their
name:

Arroyo,
councillor
Baker
councillor,
Bob,
Council,
Braden,
councillor
Campbell,
councillor
Edwards,
councillor
Flaherty,
councillor,
Flynn,
Council
women.
Here,
counselor
O'malley
is
already
on
there.
Thank
you,
docket
0
to
7
one
will
be
referred
to
the
Committee
on
education.
D
Education
Committee
held
a
number
of
hearings
to
explore
governing
structures
for
the
Boston
School
Committee.
We
did
that
starting
in
December
of
2018.
This
docket
is
a
refile,
because
this
conversation
is
still
ongoing.
It
has
become
clear
that
the
citizens
nominating
panel
also
deserves
a
closer
look
along
with
the
actual
structure
of
the
school
committee.
I,
look
forward
to
this
conversation
in
this
new
year.
Thank.
A
D
You,
madam
president,
I,
will
know
because
I've
received
the
question
now
twice.
Many
of
these
are
reef
Isles,
but
I
would
request
that
colleagues
who
have
a
particular
interest
in
any
of
these
topics,
we
read
the
reef
Isles
compared
to
last
time
because,
as
the
work
has
continued,
we
have
edited
refined
refocused
some
of
the
efforts,
so
the
warehouses
may
have
changed
over
time,
as
is
the
case
for
this
build
bps
hearing,
as
you
all
know,
build
BPS
as
an
ongoing
project
to
rebuild
our
schools.
D
This
investment
in
our
school
facilities
offers
us
a
huge
opportunity
to
also
advance
our
climate
goals.
Approximately
70%
of
Boston's
carbon
emissions
come
from
our
buildings,
given
the
mayor's
recent
executive
order
that
new
municipal
building
construction
will
target
an
zero
net
carbon
on-site
or
a
positive
energy
standard
build
bps
should
utilize
should
be
utilized
to
accelerate
our
progress
towards
this
standard
at
our
schools
and
our
citywide
goal
to
be
carbon
neutral
by
2050.
D
J
J
An
Irishman,
but
you
can't
tell
him
much
thank
my
colleague
and
friend,
the
difference
between
the
reef.
I
love
this
this
year,
as
opposed
to
last
year,
is
because
of
this
body.
In
our
leadership
collectively
working
alongside
Mayor
Walsh,
we
were
able
to
put
in
a
new
ordinance
our
new
rule,
new
guidelines,
which
will
mandate
that
all
new
municipal
buildings
will
be
Net,
Zero
Carbon.
So
this
is
such
an
exciting
development.
I
look
forward
to
seeing
schools,
libraries,
police
stations,
fire
houses,
housing
developments
that
are
all
Net
Zero
carb.
J
We
need
only
look
at
the
Hastings
School,
which
is
a
wonderful
High
School
in
Lexington
Massachusetts,
a
NetZero
carbon
school,
which
generates
an
additional
two
hundred
thousand
kilowatt
hours
each
year
of
energy.
That
then
goes
back
into
the
grid,
which
then
helps
fund
and
power,
other
city
agencies
and
other
city
amenities.
So
it's
really
a
great
example
of
doing
the
right
thing
for
the
environment
for
the
taxpayer
as
well.
What
could
be
better
than
that?
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
K
You
very
much
I
want
to
first
congratulate
the
makers
of
this
ordinance.
Part
of
this
hearing
order.
I
appreciate
your
leadership,
both
in
terms
of
making
sure
that,
when
we're
talking
about
education
and
equity
and
building
I
would
have
to
say,
councilor
sabi
George
has
been
a
credible
leader.
I
wanted
to
thank
also
councilor
O'malley
for
his
leadership
in
making
sure
that
any
way
in
which
we
move
in
the
city
of
Boston,
we
are
thinking
towards
a
future
thinking
in
terms
of
making
it
as
green
as
possible.
K
I
wanted
to
add
my
name
and
also
add
to
this
conversation
with
the
hopes
that,
when
we
do
this,
Gus
build
bps,
we're
also
discussing
and
inviting
the
BPD
a
to
be
at
the
table,
because
they
are
also
the
pushers.
They
are
the
planners.
They
are
those
owners
of
our
city
and,
if
the
zoning,
if
the
planning
is
taking,
hopefully
an
equity
lens
and
is
looking
at
how
we're
going
to
move
around
our
city
literally
planning
the
streets
planning
the
density,
then
they
need
to
be
at
the
table
when
we're
talking
about
building
schools.
K
And
what
we
have
found
is
that,
unfortunately,
the
conversations
have
been
siloed.
I
am
encouraged,
that
they
will
be
at
a
planning
meeting
for
Charlestown
to
discuss
some
of
the
school's
issues,
as
well
as
planning
I.
Believe
that's
tomorrow.
But
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that,
as
we
talk
about
build
PBS
collectively
around
the
city,
the
BPD
a
is
there
and
that
bps
and
the
BPD
a
are
planning
appropriately
as
well.
Thank.

A
B
D
You,
this
is
a
refile
to
give
BPS
an
opportunity
to
discuss
the
improved
infrastructure
and
safety
practices
at
every
school.
We
know
things
have
improved
over
the
last
number
of
years
and
I'm
thankful
that
BPS
has
worked
pretty
aggressively
and
purposefully
towards
making
sure
that
every
classroom
has
doors
that
locks,
that
classrooms
have
doors
that
lock
and
other
measures
are
in
place
to
protect
students,
certainly
from
any
active
shooter
situation.
D
We
also
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
protecting
students
from
bullying
in
any
form
that
we
have
safe
routes
to
school
and
that
we
are
protecting
our
kids
from
active
drug
use
and
in
improperly
discarded
needles.
All
students
deserve
a
safe
learning
environment
where
they
can
thrive
academically
and
without
fear.
That
is
why
I
look
forward
to
a
continued
discussion
on
this
issue,
as
it
continues
to
be
important,
certainly
to
all
of
us
here,
but
especially
those
that
have
kids
in
the
school
system.

recently
released
her
strategic
plan
for
build

I'm
so
excited
to
sort
of
get
to
that
work
and
see
how
it's
reflected
in
the
upcoming
budget
process.
I'm
calling
for
this
hearing
to
give
us,
as
a
body
an
opportunity
in
the
pub
our
residents
an
opportunity
to
better
understand
the

schools

Madam
clerk
docket.
B
D
Done
since
my
first
year
in
office,
I've
advocated
alongside
our
former
colleague
congresswoman
diana
presley
for
a
full-time
nurse
in
every
school,
given
the
fact
that
so
many
of
our
young,
our
youth,
have
childhoods,
rocked
by
gun,
violence,
homelessness
or
family
and
stability.
It's
clear
that
a
full
time
mental
health,
professional
and
every
single
school
is
equally
necessary.
We
want
our
kids
to
learn
if
their
traumas
and
insufficient
social
and
emotional
support
networks
are
holding
them
internally
hostage
or
trapped,
they
will
never
be
able
to
fully
participate
in
school
or
in
their
life.
D
D
Although
that
hiring
process
has
been
slow,
the
funding
was
not
enough
to
have
a
full-time
mental
health
professional
in
every
school,
and
we
need
to
get
to
that
in
order
support
our
kids
I,
look
forward
to
and
understand
that
it's
a
commitment
of
Superintendent
kuselias
is
to
have
these
providers
in
our
buildings.
So
I
look
forward
to
working
with
her
her
administration,
as
well
as
Mayor
Walsh's
administration,
to
implement
a
policy
requiring
all
Boston
Public
Schools
to
have
at
least
one
full-time
mental
health
specialist
in
each
of
our
school
buildings.
Thank.
A
You
so
much
anyone
else,
looking
to
add
their
name:
counselor
Arroyo,
councillor,
Bob,
councillor,
Braden,
councillor
Edwards,
Council
of
Flaherty,
councilors,
Flynn,
Mejia,
O'malley,
whoo
and
the
chair.
Thank
you
so
much
doc
at
zero
to
seven
six
will
be
referred
to
the
Committee
on
education.
Moving
on
to
dock
at
zero,
two
seven,
seven
dock.
D
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
last,
but
certainly,
not
least
in
my
refil
and
submission
of
new
hearing
orders.
This
one
is
about
inclusion
done
right
in
our
classrooms.
There
are
many
wonderful
learning,
opportunities
and
aspects
to
the
learning
environment
that
come
with
inclusion
classrooms,
but
the
truth
is:
if
inclusion
is
not
done
right,
it
is
shortchanging
our
students,
whether
they
have
an
IEP
or
not,
and
it
makes
stressful
work
environments
for
our
teachers.
Historically,
inclusion
Pro
the
inclusion
program
model
has
been
so
hamstrung
by
budgetary
constraints.
D
That
bps
counts
a
teacher
with
multiple
licenses
as
sufficiently
fulfilling
the
program
it
does
not.
We
need
inclusion
done
right
across
our
district.
Having
this
hearing
will
provide
an
opportunity
to
identify
program,
strengths
and
identify
areas
which
need
improvement.
It
will
give
our
school
community
members
a
platform
to
discuss
their
demands
and
needs
for
a
robust
inclusion
program
across
the
district.
This
issue
has
been
ongoing.
Last
year.
I
held
a
hearing
on
bps
is
failure
to
comply
with
many
student
IEP
plans.
We
heard
hours
of
testimony
from
parents,
students
and
teachers.
D
It
is
crucial
that
we
hear
from
them
as
many
times
as
it
takes
to
have
inclusion
done
right.
Parents
and
teachers
and
students
will
testify
at
the
school
committee
tonight
about
improving
the
program
across
the
district.
We
need
to
use
our
power
here
at
the
city
council
to
determine
the
current
Barrie
barriers
to
implementing
a
fully
funded
and
well
resourced
inclusion
program.
District-Wide

With
the
development
boom
taking
place
in
South
Boston,
the
added
density
and
people
will
have
a
continue
to
have
a
major
impact,
a
negative
impact
on
the
quality
of
life
in
our
neighborhood.
There
are
many
vibe
skill
developments
being
proposed
or
already
approved
in
South

along
corridors
of

including

Piecemeal,
like
we've
done
in

I,
want
to
see
you
a
holistic,
large-scale
master
plan
where
people
are
working
together,
transportation,
people,
officials
working
together,
so
we
can
address
these
quality

issues
that
are
happening
throughout

with
all
the
development
that
is
taking
place.
I,
don't
think
we
did
a
good
job
of
you
know,
working
with
the

making
sure
that
their
voice
is
heard
as
it
relates
to

Thank
you.
Madam

I
echo
the
comments
of
my
dear
friend
neighbor
in
colleague.
While
there
have
been
numerous
traffic
studies
in
south
boston
over
the
years,
most
recently
the
so
Boston
seaport
strategic
transit
plan.
There
has
not
been
a

that
accounts
for
the
cumulative
impact
of
all
of
the
large-scale
article
80
developments
that
sort
of
encumber
all
of
the
major

corridors
of

G
All
of

here
can
attest

process
of
projects
happening
in
their
respective
districts,
but
the
time
has
come
to
have
a
comprehensive
transportation
study
on
South
Boston,
particularly
as
it
pertains
to
cumulative
effects
that
are
happening
with
more
in
the
pipeline
and
so
I
look
forward
to
partnering
with
my
colleague,
Council
Flint
on
this
hearing.
I
look
forward
to
an
expedited
hearing,
so
we
can
get
our
Navy's
the
answers
that
they
deserve,
while
they're
sort
of
mulling
over
many
of
the
different
projects
that
happen
in
the
community.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
G
E
You,
madam
president,
I
rise
to
first
support
my
colleagues
from
so
costs
and
very
good
idea,
and
it's
always
it's
always
good-
to
take
into
account
transportation
when
we're
dealing
with
large
scale
projects.
Just
a
brief
note,
Kazuko
circle
policy,
boulevard
that
that's
my
district
there,
so
the
the
Bayside
property,
the
globe,
property,
the
center
core
property,
the
T
and
I
think
I'm
missing
some
the
the
the
way
we're
moving
forward
with
that
airier
town
with
and
it's
and
it's
been
driven
because
of
the
good
work
of
the
of
the
elected
CA.
E
My
colleagues
on
the
City
Council
councillor,
George,
council,
council,
sorry,
George,
sorry,
boss,
but
also
there's
also
the
state
delegation.
The
planning
for
this
for
this
area
now
is
we're
looking
to
expand
on
an
I
AG
in
call
it
a
CAC,
a
community
community
advisory
committee
I
believe.
But
what
the
ask
is
for
the
people
that
are
coming
to
weigh
in
on
the
development
to
really
put
a
transportation
head
on,
because
we're
looking
at
lowering
or
raising
Kazuko
circle.
E
Marcy
Boulevard
needs
to
be
raised
in
in
taking
into
account
the
neighborhood
that
I'm
from
we've
spent
well
I'm
15.
My
father
was
born
in
the
neighborhood
we've
spent
80
years
a
hundred
years
on
the
other
side
of
the
tracks
on
the
other
side
of
the
highway
on
the
other
side
of
the
train
station.
So
so
looking
at
this
will
allow
us
in
the
neighbor
to
be
able
to
get
over
to
the
water
that
is
so
close
to
us.
E
So
I
just
want
to
get
up
to
commend
my
my
my
colleague
and
say
that,
because
of
the
work
that
we
are
doing,
we
were
able
to
do
in
this
in
this
seat
here
that
there's
gonna
be
a
really
really
good,
comprehensive
planning
initiative
that
will
take
one
piece
of
what
kind
of
flame
was
talking
about.
So
please
sign
my
name.
One
thank.
A
You
anyone
else
looking
to
add
their
name.
We
have
councillor
Baker,
adding
his
name.
Anyone
else,
councillor,
Edwards
councillor,
sabe,
George,
councillor,
Mejia
and
councillor
Wu
count
docket.
Thank
you
all
docket,
0,
2,
7
8
will
be
referred
to
the
Committee
on
planning
development
and
transportation.
Madam
clerk,
could
you
please
read
docket
zero.
Two,
seven,
nine.
B
L
You,
madam
president,
and
Madam
President.
Thank
you
for
co-sponsoring
this
with
me.
Over
a
period
of
seven
months,
there
were
many
incidents
involving
involving
debts.
Earlier
this
month,
another
person
tried
to
jump
from
a
six
story
garage.
These
tragic
incidents
call
attention
to
the
security
measures
at
high-rise
garages,
as
well
as
a
lack
of
measure
at
garages
that
prevent
people
in
distress
from
jumping
in
helping
them
find
resources.
Well,
most
tall
buildings
in
bridges
have
barriers
or
fencing
to
prevent
people
who
are
distressed
from
jumping
parking.
L
Garages
are
often
accessible
to
the
public,
with
minimum
security
or
barriers,
making
it
harder
to
prevent
people
in
distress.
Well
with
mental
health
issues
from
jumping
there
are
measures
for
suicide
prevention
at
parking
garages.
Aside
from
installing
fencing,
including
using
signage
to
direct
people
with
suicidal
thoughts,
to
call
the
suicide
prevention
hotline
installing
cameras
to
monitor
top
levels,
quoting
landscaping
to
block
an
open
landing
area
in
training
parking
garage
staff
on
suicide
prevention,
we
should
work
with
parking
garage
operators
to
prevent
fraud
like
those
that
have
occurred
from
happening.
L
A
D
Think
you
Madame
president
I'd
like
to
thank
the
maker
and
the
sponsors
for
this
hearing
order.
I
think
it's
important
and
I
appreciate
that
councillor
Flynn
noted
that
it's
about
safety
and
security
in
the
garages,
but
access
to
mental
health
services
and
in
that
work,
because
that's
critically
important
to
the
conversation.
D
A
You
anyone
else
looking
to
add
their
name:
councillor
Arroyo
councillor
Bob
councillor
Braden,
councillor
Campbell,
councillor,
Flair,
'ti
council,
with
mejia
councillor
wu,
we've
added
councillor,
savvy
George.
Thank
you
so
much
doc
at
zero.
Two
seven

will
be
referred
to
the
Committee
on
city
and
neighborhood
services.
Moving
on
to
doc
at

zero.
B
L
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Council
for
partnering
with
me
on
this
Madam
President.
The
census.
2020
is
one
of
the
most
important
issues
we
will
face
as
a
City
Council.
Recently
this
week,
City
Council
of
Campbell
in
representative
Tyla
had
a
working
session
on
the
importance
of
the
census.
Last
week
in
Chinatown,
the
Chinese
progressive
Association
also
held
a
hearing
with
many
of
my
colleagues.
Were
there
as
well
talking
about
how
important
the
census
is
to
our
city
into
our
country.
L
The
census
not
only
dictates
how
many
elected
and
rational
members
we
have,
but
even
more
importantly
than
that
it
determines
the
federal
resources
that
come
into
a
city
or
a
state
such
as
snap,
the
food
assistance
program
that
is
now
being
cut
in
by
the
federal
government.
Several
months
ago,
the
federal
government
put
out
a
statement
that
a
citizenship
question
would
be
asked
on
the
census.
Thankfully,
that
is
not
part
of
the
census
now,
but
it
did
have
a
negative
impact
on
many
communities
across
Boston.
As
many
of
you
know,
I
represent
a
large
immigrant.
L
Community
I
represent
a
large
non
english-speaking
community
as
well.
People
speak
in
Cantonese,
Mandarin
and
Spanish.
What
is
important
about
the
census
is
everybody
counts.
Everyone
is
important
and
I
just
want
to
work
with
my
colleagues.
We
work
with
the
mayor's
office,
but
work
with
everybody
across
the
city
to
make
sure
everybody's
counted.
Everybody
is
important
in
this
city,
and
everyone
will
be
treated
with
respect
and
dignity
and
and
part
of
that
process
is
making
sure
that
they
are
counted
and
they
participate
in
the
upcoming
census.
L
I
You,
madam
president,
I'm
going
to
thank
our
colleague
from
district
2,
letting
me
partner
on
this.
You
know
the
numbers
tell
the
story
already.
We
know
historically,
that
Boston
has
one
of
the
lowest
rates
of
return
for
the
census,
forms
and
participation
in
the
country
of
the
top
100
US
cities.
We
are
in
the
largest
100
ooh,
a
cities
we're
in
the
top
10
for
being
hardest
to
count,
given
our
populations
that
are
multilingual.
That
may
be
immigrant
residents
that
are
renters
versus
homeowners.
I
So
there's
a
lot
about
our
city
that,
where
there's
a
lot
of
stake
in
terms
of
the
on-the-ground
work
of
outreach
and
getting
people
to
understand
how
to
participate
in
that
it's
safe
and
that
they're
supported-
and
this
is
a
community
driven
effort,
so
we
are
fighting
every
day
on
the
council
to
make
sure
that
our
policies
really
are
recognizing
that
every
person
counts.
That
all
means
all,
and
so
literally
here
everyone
has
to
be
counted
and
I
think
that
Boston
City
Council
can
uniquely
add
to
this
effort
right.
I
There's
a
whole
lot
going
on
with
the
administration
and
funding
for
organizations
and
a
large
mobilization,
but
we
can
often
add
to
the
conversation,
is
the
platform
to
bring
people
in,
and
so
we're
not
gonna.
Just
do
this
in
City
Hall
we're
going
to
have
this
hearing
order
and
in
this
discussion
out
in
partnership
with
communities
across
the
city,
to
make
sure
that
we're
supporting
residents
in
counting
their
communities
and
not
just
kind
of
continuing
to
try
to
impose
resources
and
hope
that
it
works
out.
This
has
got
to
be
from
the
ground
up.
F
Many
spoke
about
it's
not
just
about
the
money,
it's
about
being
seen
right
and
it's
about
communities
that
we
talk
about
immigrant
communities,
those
that
are
formerly
incarcerated,
recognizing
that
they
exist
in
the
city
of
Boston
I
have
to
actually
applaud
and
thank
the
mayor
with
respect
to
the
work
that
he
is
doing
around
the
census.
He
has
a
whole
bunch
of
committees
that
cover
various
industries
and
various
topics,
and
they
have
been
convened
by
Sebastian
who
was
leading
that
work
and
kudos
to
him.
He
is
doing
incredible
work
as
I
sat
here.
F
Actually,
an
email
from
him
went
out
to
a
few
folks
related
to
the
census.
So
there
are
several
committees
already
that
exists,
including
one
for
elected
officials,
and
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
here
that
have
been
joining
those
efforts.
I
am
Co
chairing
that
committee
with
representative
Tyler
China
Tyler
who's
been
doing
remarkable
work
as
well,
and
so
we
don't
want
to
make.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
this
in
partnership
and
that
we're
not
duplicating
efforts.
F
So
I
hope
that
we
can,
with
her
you
guys,
our
respective
teams
to
talk
about
how
we
get
all
of
our
elected
officials
state
as
well
federal
delegation
who
have
been
attending
some
of
these
working
sessions
and
meetings
at
the
Statehouse.
All
of
us,
together
coming
together
to
continue
to
do
the
work
in
community
to
make
sure
that
everyone
gets
counted.
So
thank
you
again
for
your
leadership
and
look
forward
to
partnering
with
you
guys,
as
well
as
all
of
our
other
colleagues,
and
please
add
my
name.
Thank
you.
H
So
I
would
like
to
thank
councilor
Flynn,
and
your
leadership
on
this
and
I'm
really
also
really
excited
to
join
you
in
this
effort.
But
I
also
just
want
to
really
make
a
point
that
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
are
undocumented
here
in
the
city
of
Boston,
who
feel
afraid
and
I
think
that
we're
going
to
have
to
be
really
super.
Mindful
of
how
we
are
going
to
communicate.
H
Given
the
scenarios
that
we've
already
seen
here
in
the
city
in
terms
of
how
we
violated
information
sharing
and
so
I
think
it's
just
being
really
mindful
of
how
we're
going
to
bring
people
in,
but
also
as
a
city
recognize
that
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
rebuild
that
trust
here.
So
I'm
signing
my
name
and.
A
Support
of
that,
thank
you
so
much
anyone
else.
Looking
to
add
their
name.
Councillor
Arroyo
councillor
Bach,
councillor
Braden.
We
have
councillor
Campbell's
name,
councillor
Edwards,
councillor,
asabi
George,
councillor
Flaherty.
We
obviously
have
plenty
of
new
customer
here,
counselor
O'malley
and
please
also
add
the
chair
and
please
also
add
councillor
Baker.
Thank
you,
I,
think
that
makes
all
of
us
wonderful
doc.
At
zero.
Two
eight
zero
will
be
referred
to
the
Committee
on
census
and
redistricting.
Moving
on
to
dock
at
zero,
two
eight
one
dock.
E
You,
madam
president,
this
is
a
home
rule
petition.
This
type
of
legislation
has
come
through
this
body
before
less
about
the
talk
of.
We
need
local
control.
This
is
our
pathway
to
more
licenses,
and
my
idea
here
was
neighborhood
licenses
and
I
put
five
five
over
three
years
so
and
I
was
thinking
of
my
neighborhood
selfishly,
because
I
represent
Dorchester
and
between
district
four
and
myself
we
have
the
largest
number.
I
came
up
with
five
over
three
years,
so
that
would
be
fifteen
licenses.
I
was
going
to
get
in
and
say
you
know.
E
Charlestown
may
need
one
or
two,
but
then
I
said:
why
should
I
put
a
number
in
that?
Isn't,
isn't
my
neighborhood,
so
this
document
will
be
amendable.
So
so,
if
in
all
sent
and
brightened,
you
don't
want
licenses,
that
number
could
be
zero
in
South
Boston.
If
you
don't
want
five
license,
your
number
could
be
one
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
looking
to
do
I'm,
not
looking
to
tell
people
what
they
think
they
needed
in
their
neighborhood.
The
last
time
this
legislation
came
out.
E
E
Now
these
licenses
Matapan
it
over
three
years,
we'll
have
15
licenses
and
if
and
if
nobody
in
Mattapan
is
ready
when
we
pass
these
and
hopefully
when
we
went
past
the
home
loan
petition,
if
Mattapan
business
is
not
ready,
those
licenses
will
be
on
the
shelves
specifically
for
Mattapan,
specifically
for
Roxbury,
specifically
for
Charlestown,
again
I
plan
on
having
a
working
document.
If
people
will
figure
out
what
they
want
in
their
neighborhoods
and
then
also
amendable
up
at
the
Statehouse.
So
if
the
reps
up
there
want
to
I,
don't
want
them
to
come
to
I.
E
Think
in
my
neighborhood
15
over
my
neighbor
being
Dorchester,
my
neighborhood
and
in
Council
Campbell's
neighborhood
15
is
the
right
number
I'm,
not
looking
for
them
dough
to
scale
back
on
those,
but
they
can.
If
they
want
so
it'll,
be
amendable
going
up
to
the
Statehouse
and
I
will
be
working.
My
say
patan
is
hopefully
when
we
pass
this
and
hopefully
when
the
mayor
signs
it.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
J
You,
madam
president,
to
commend
the
maker.
The
district
3
counselor
asked
that
my
name
be
added
and
no
it's
premature
for
friendly
amendments,
but
would
certainly
asked
to
add
I
appreciate,
West
Roxbury
being
in
that
I.
Think
Jamaica
Plain
would
make
a
case
as
well
being
included
too.
Perhaps
through
you
to
the
maker.
I
have
clarity,
but
I'd
certainly
ask
that
as
we
go
through
the
government
office
process,.
E
A
You,
and
so
we
will
have
plenty
of
discussion
for
folks
who
want
to
advocate
for
the
communities
that
they
represent:
Thank
You
councillor
Baker
anyone
else
looking
to
add
their
name:
councillor
Arroyo
councillor
bog,
councillor,
Campbell,
councillor,
asabi,
George,
councillor,
Flynn,
councillor
Mejia.
We
have
councillor
O'malley
councillor,
woo
and
please
add
the
chair
to
that
aisle
breeding.
Sorry
say:
that's
why
you
have
to
raise
your
hands
high,
so
I
can
see
him
all
right.
A
J
You,
madam
president,
this
is
a
refil
of
a
hearing
order
that
I
introduced
with
the
former
district
5
councilor
the
last
year
and
unfortunately,
the
calendar
got
ahead
of
us
we're
unable
to
hold
it.
But
it's
it's
a
really
important
in
timely
one
rise
to
speak,
of
course,
of
behalf
of
the
unsung
heroes
of
Public
Safety
in
the
city,
the
paramedics
and
EMTs,
the
men
and
women
of
Boston
EMS
in
2018,
Boston
EMS
transported
over
85,000
patients,
nearly
a
quarter
of
whom
were
Priority
One
or
life-threatening
situations.
J
Those
priority.
1
situations
require
response,
time
of
6,
minutes
or
fewer,
and
we
were
able
to
reach
that
goal
and
achieve
that
goal
largely
because
of
our
extremely
capable
EMS
paramedics
and
EMTs.
We
have
more
rapid
emergence
response
times
than
most
cities,
even
those
with
larger
EMS
fleets.
This
is
a
testament
to
the
great
performance
and
ability
of
our
city's
emergency
workers
and
is
deeply
commendable.
I
know.
All
of
you
share
my
deep
appreciation
for
the
men
and
women
of
Boston
EMS,
and
it's
time
that
we
serve
those
heroes.
J
The
way
that
they
serve
us
9
out
of
20
to
basic
life,
support
ambulance
units
in
the
city
of
Boston,
don't
have
a
station
or
Bay
for
their
response
area.
These
nine
units,
referred
to
as
reposted
units,
are
forced
to
idle
on
the
side
of
the
road
or
in
parking
lots
for
extended
periods
of
time
in
order
to
cover
their
respective
areas
of
service.
To
maintain
proper
temperatures
for
medicines
kept
on
board,
as
well
as
to
keep
life-support
systems
on
ambulances
must
remain
on
and
idling
in
between
calls.
J
This
is
a
strain
on
our
emergency
services
and
staff,
and
it
deserves
to
be
corrected.
Unit
812,
which
is
one
of
those
reposted
ambulances
in
particular,
is
overstretched
a
12
responds
to
sections
of
Dorchester
to
make
a
plain
and
Rock
Street,
and
it
is
forced
to
sit
idle
at
Boston's
largest
green
space,
Franklin
Park
in
order
to
effectively
cover
its
area
of
the
city.
Other
units,
such
as
a
17
in
Roslindale
square
and
a
21
in
Roxbury
crossing
and
Mission
Hill,
face
similar
issues.
This
has
many
repercussions
without
a
dedicated
garage
or
porch
shift.
J
Changes
are
more
difficult
and
take
longer
causing
service
gas
gaps,
forcing
Boston
EMS
to
have
leave
to
have
to
leave
the
area
they
cover
and
there's.
Obviously,
an
environmental
concern
as
well:
Boston's
Air,
Pollution,
Control
Office
has
zeroed
in
on
idling
as
a
key
source
of
airborne
pollutants
and
greenhouse
gas
emissions
with
good
reason.
Idling
for
two
minutes
consumes
the
same
amount
of
fuel
as
two
miles
of
driving.
Idling
also
puts
a
physical
strain
on
the
ambulances
themselves,
causing
diesel
particulate
buildup.
That
requires
frequent
maintenance,
closing
the
significant
expense
over
time.
J
Reposting
units
caused
inequitable
service
for
our
constituents
pollution
and
can
fatigue
our
EMS
workers,
but
these
issues
can
be
resolved.
Dedicated
garages,
an
ambulance
port
comes
with
a
relatively
low
price
tag.
Such
investments
in
Boston,
sustainable
infrastructure
infrastructure
will
show
great
returns
in
the
years
to
come,
as
well
as
better
served.
All
of
our
communities.
Studies
show
that
ambulance
Bay's,
improve
access
to
emergency
rooms
at
nearby
hospitals,
allow
EMTs
to
rest
and
recuperate
in
between
calls
save
fuel
emissions
and
improve
response
time.
J
L
You,
madam
president,
I,
want
to
say
thank
you
to
contour
O'malley,
for
this
important
hearing.
I
recently
had
the
opportunity
to
attend
the
EMS
graduation
that
Fanueil
Hall
with
councilor
sabe
Jorge,
and
we
had
an
opportunity
to
talk
to
some
of
the
dedicated
medical
professionals
that
we
have
in
the
city
was
so
was
so
proud
of
them.
Madam
President
in
my
neighborhood
in
the
South
Boston
waterfront.
As
councillor
O'malley
mentioned,
we
don't
have
a
dedicated
garage
for
an
ambulance
and
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
time
it
does
take
now
to
get
into
a
neighborhood.
L
That's
that
has
huge
traffic
problems
in
without
a
dedicated
ambulance.
That's
a
priority
of
mine.
I
know
it's
a
priority
as
well
for
council
a
flower
tea,
so
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
councilor
O'malley
for
his
great
work
on
this
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
to
make
sure
we
have
dedicated
garages
and
in
every
neighborhood
or
where
they're
desperately
needed.
Thank
you,
madam
president.

could
you
please.
J
K
You,
madam
president,
I
rise
in
support
of
my
colleague
and
I,
wanted
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership
again
and
convening
the
stakeholders.
I
am
putting,
particularly
because
this
speaks
to
stretch
the
Greenway
in
East
Boston.
Whether
it's
chequered
on
one
side
is
Massport,
then
there's
a
stretch
that
the
city,
then
you
continue
with
mass
porting
and
continue
with
mass
sport.
And
then
you
go
back
to
the
city,
and
we
also
include
other
cities
as
well.
Hopefully,
one
day
we'll
be
going
all
the
way
out
to
win
from.
K
But
ultimately,
when
you,
when
I,
run
the
the
Greenway,
it's
very
clear
who
is
or
isn't
doing
their
job,
and
so
this
conversation
is
hopefully
going
to
make
sure
we
have
a
clear
Greenway
in
East,
Boston
and
throughout,
but
also
it's
gonna,
convene
the
stakeholders
and
talk
about
how
collectively
we
need
to
be
doing
our
part.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
your
leadership.
A
Thank
you.

L
You,
madam
president,
January
is
designated
as
National
Braille
Braille
literacy
month
to
promote
in
raise
awareness
of
the
importance
of
the
Braille
code
to
the
blind
and
visually
impaired.
Community
Braille
literacy
is
an
important
way
for
those
with
visual
disabilities
to
attain
independence
in
employment.
The
National
Federation
for
the
blind
was
found
as
a
positive
correlation
between
those
who
are
literate
in
Braille
and
those
who
have
achieved
higher
education
in
better
employment
outcomes.
L
We
have
Perkins
School
for
the
Blind
in
Greater
Boston,
which
provides
great
education
for
students
who
are
blind
or
visually
impaired,
and
it
is
the
oldest
school
in
the
country.
Actually,
it
started
in
South
Boston,
and
now
it's
located
in
Watertown
I
hope
that
we
can
suspend
the
rules
and
pass
this
read
resolution
so
that
we
can
affirm
the
City
Council's
support
for
the
blind
and
visually
impaired
community
and
recognized
in
order
January
as
Braille
literacy
month
for
the
City
of
Boston
and
I
want
to
also
recognize
the
tremendous
work
of
our
former
colleague.
L
Council
is
akin.
Is
the
chair
of
Civil
Rights
I'm,
proud
to
be
the
vice
chair
now
working
with
counseling
me
here
as
as
the
chair,
but
the
the
work
of
the
City
Council?
The
City
Council
in
supporting
people
with
disabilities
has
always
been
a
cornerstone
of
this
country
of
this
body
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
everybody,
so
persons
with
disabilities
will
get
the
services
that
they
need.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
K
You,
madam
president,
I
want
to
thank
councilor
Flynn
for
inviting
me
to
be
a
co-sponsor
on
this
as
a
councillor.
Fun
and
I
have
worked
a
great
deal
on
dealing
with
the
issues
of
folks
and
having
access
not
only
to
City
Council,
but
individuals
with
disabilities,
feeling
that
they
are
seen
heard
and
valued.
I
wanted
to
just
add
my
name
and
note
that
not
only
do
I
support
your
leadership,
but
I
think
this
is
also
a
call
to
action
on
behalf
of
the
City
Council
to
assess
ourselves
again.
K
Are
we
as
accessible
as
we
should
be,
especially
to
those
of
us
in
our
community
who
are
blind?
I
would
look
to
us
to
analyze
very
small
things,
even
our
business
cards.
We
could
actually
have
them
printed
in
Braille.
Another
thing
that
we
looked
at
and
it
was
actually
brought
up
during
the
hearing
that
you
are,
that
we
co-hosted
I
believe
on
access
and
City
Council.
For
folks
who
have
disabilities
was
looking
at
the
way
that
we
listed
the
offices
and
the
elevators.
K
K
I
also
value
the
the
very
culture
and
the
very
I
think
not
only
culture
but
but
also
there's
a
there's,
a
way
in
which
people
move
when
they
have
language
when
they
have
a
way
of
moving
around.
So
there's
a
huge
culture
around
ASL
I'm,
hoping
to
I'm
a
student.
Now
of
ASL,
but
also
in
Braille,
and
so
when
you
lose
that
language
skill,
you
also
lose
a
section
of
culture
as
well,
so
it's
a
matter
of
cultural
preservation.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
You
at
first
like
to
support
my
colleagues.
Thank
you
for
doing
this.
My
oldest
brother
was
blind
was
a
graduate
from
Perkins
school,
the
blind.
He
was
hands
down
the
most
well-read
in
my
family.
That
might
be
like
being
the
smartest
and
the
dumbest
class
I,
don't
know,
but
he
he
was
a
pretty
exceptional.
He
was
an
exceptional
person.
He
was,
he
was
a
musician.
He
he
repaired
furniture.
He
he
tuned
pianos.
He
was
awesome.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
my
brother
into
my
life
today.
Thank
You.
D
I
would
like
to
share
that
over
the
last
few
summers,
we
have
had
an
intern
from
the
mass
Commission
for
the
blind
intern
in
our
office,
as
it
is
a
paid
internship
program.
It
is
a
fabulous
internship
program
that
comes
with
lots
of
supports
and
we
will
again
this
spring
host
the
mass
Commission
for
the
blind
to
speak
to
all
office's
who
have
an
interest
in
hiring
and
this
coming
summer.
D
L
Thank
you,
I
apologize
for
speaking
again
Madam
President
I
just
also
want
to
recognize
the
tremendous
work
of
the
disability
Commission
from
the
mayor's
office.
I
work
closely
with
them.
I
should
have
mentioned
them
at
the
at
the
beginning,
but
I
just
wanted
to
let
this
dedicated
and
professional
staff
know
at
that
department
that
they're
doing
an
outstanding
work
outstanding
job
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
them
over
the
next
two
years.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
A
You
so
much
and
for
clarification
counsel
me
here:
did
you
want
to
add
your
name
to
the
resolution?
Wonderful
anyone
else,
looking
to
add
their
name,
counselor
Arroyo.
We
have
you
counselor
Baker.
Thank
you!
So
much
councillor,
Bob
councillor
Braden
councillor
Campbell.
We
have
councillor
Edwards
councillor,
sorry
George,
councillor,
clarity,
councillor.
He
has
added
her
name,
councillor,
O'malley,
counsel,
Wu
and
please
add
the
chair.
Councillor
Flynn
moves
for
suspension
of
the
rules
and
seeks
adoption
of
docket
0
to
8
for
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
all
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it.
A
K
You,
madam
president,
I'm
pleased
to
kick-off
I
think
a
very
important
conversation
about
transportation
that
a
deeply
involves
our
business
community
transportation
benefit.
Ordinances
are
not
new.
There
are
many
cities
that
already
have
them,
such
as
Seattle
Los,
Angeles,
San,
Francisco,
DC,
New
York
and
the
entire
state
of
New
Jersey.
So
essentially,
what
does
it
do?
It
basically
requires
employers-
and
in
this
case
it
would
be
employers
in
Boston
to
give
this
as
an
option
as
a
benefit
to
their
workers,
for
a
pre-tax
benefit,
essentially
to
pay
for
the
tea
pass.
K
The
commuter
rail
house
we
already
have
this
actually
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
all
of
the
workers
who
work
for
the
city
of
Boston
have
this
as
an
option
and
what
we're
asking
for
and
what
we
would
want
is
for
employers
to
at
least
give
that
option
to
their
workers.
I
know
people
are
critical
because
they
feel
like
it's
one,
more
mandate
on
the
business
community,
but
the
mandate
is
really
just
to
say:
give
them
an
option
to
have
a
pre-tax
benefit.
K
It
does
not
cost
the
employers
anything
unless
they
have
a
huge
amount
of
employees
and
they
need
they
have
an
administrative
cost,
but
it
could
actually
save
employees
a
lot
of
money.
An
example
of
that
is
for
many
people
who
feel
pushed
out
of
Boston
right
now.
They
now
have
to
have
longer
commutes,
so
they
went
to
another
place
in
the
suburbs,
for
example,
to
save
money
on
rent
or
mortgage,
so
they're
further
away.
But
now
they're
commuter
costs
have
gone
up
if
they're
taking
the
commuter
rail.
K
Could
you
be
a
hundreds
of
dollars
a
month
that
they
didn't
have
to
pay
before?
This
would
be
a
pre-tax
benefit
to
them,
allowing
for
their
taxable
income
to
go
down
while
their
income
pays
for
the
commuter
rail
pass?
So
this
is
a
huge
benefit
and
actually
helps
people
in
terms
of
taxes,
and
we
I
believe
as
a
leader,
the
city
of
Boston,
already
having
issues
with
congestion
with
traffic.
K
This
is
something
that
we
should
be
requiring
employers
to
offer
Boston
based
employers,
so
that
folks
can
get
here
and
also
get
a
tax
break,
and
hopefully
it
helps
the
congestion
and
transportation.
Now
this
is
not
going
to
fix
our
transportation
infrastructure.
Let's
be
clear.
Our
brothers
and
sisters
in
the
Statehouse
are
working
on
that
right.
Now,
I'll
give
a
shout-out
to
my
delegation,
members,
Vice
Chair
of
Transportation
Adrian
Morrow
and
chair
transportation
in
the
Senate
Joe
bond
Cory.
K
So
we're
excited
to
see
what
the
State
House
does
to
help
us
move
and
provide
the
infrastructure,
but
for
right
now,
I
think
the
City
of
Boston
should
at
least
say
everyone
could
be
offered
this
benefit.
And
yes,
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
has
come
out
and
said
this
is
already
offered
by
a
lot
of
people.
So
why
bother
to
have
it
mandated
because
well
it's
about
those
who
aren't
offering
it
and
it's
about
setting
a
floor.
K
The
mandate
is
just
for
a
benefit,
and
if
we
set
the
floor,
I
think
in
this
economy,
this
booming
economy,
a
lot
of
employers,
are
going
to
be
competitive
about
how
they
actually
benefit
people
in
terms
of
transportation.
So,
let's
set
the
floor.
Let's
require
this
benefit,
let's
hopefully
clear
out
some
of
the
congestion
and
let's
give
it
workers
a
tax
break.
I
think
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
I
wish
I
was
as
eloquent
as
councillor
O'malley
and
the
fiscal
conservative
so
on
and
so
forth.
K
I
won't
do
that
that's
his
mind,
but
I
will
have
to
say
when
writing
this.
We
were
inspired
by
that
thought.
So
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
his
leadership
already
in
providing
infrastructure
for
the
city
to
build
appropriately.
So
hopefully
we
will
require
this
benefit
so
that
people
can
drive
or
not
drive
into
the
city
of
Boston,
so
Thank
You,
councillor,
O'malley
and,
of
course
thank
my
co-sponsor
councillor
Wu,
whose
leadership
and
transportation
conversations
along
with
the
chair
and
equity
and
looking
at
busing
has
also
fed
into
this
as
well.
Thank
you.
I
You
Madame
president,
thank
you
to
my
sponsor
councillor.

changes
that
we
should
be
making
for
traffic
and
congestion
and
transportation
and
I
am
so
excited
that
we'll
be
moving
forward
with
this
early
in
the
year.
I
We
know
from
the
data
that-
and
we
know
from
the
experience
of
our
residents,
our
neighborhoods,
that
a
large
part
of
the
traffic
not
just
on
the
main
thoroughfares,
but
on
now,
almost
all
of
our
residential
side
streets
comes
from
people
trying
to
get
to
work
and
often
from
people
outside
Boston
trying
to
get
to
work
in
Boston
or
near
Boston.
So
the
decisions
that
we're
making
in
terms
of
the
commute
and
how
employers
are
involved
in
that
conversation
have
tremendous
impacts
all
throughout
the
neighborhoods.
So
I
also
want
to
note
I've
had
some
conversations.
I
I
happen
to
meet
the
folks
who
work
at
the
MBTA
on
their
perk
program
and
met
on
the
orange
line,
and
it
was
lovely
and
and
they're
working
really
really
hard,
and
this
hopefully,
will
help
amplify
their
efforts
to
way.
So
I
know
they'll
be
great
at
coming
in
and
explaining
how
employers
can
plug
in
how
we
can
continue
to
expand
this
and
then
finally,
I
just
want
to
add
that
this
is
a.
This
is
a
parallel
track.
I
I
am
so
excited
to
be
doing
this
in
the
short
short
term,
but
we
are
still
moving
towards
a
world
where
this
will
not
be
necessary
whatsoever
because
there
be
no
need
for
payment
and
passes
on
the
tea,
so
we're
still
trying
to
free
the
tea
and
we'll
hear
more
about
that
in
future
council
sessions.
But
in
the
meantime
this
is
something
that
would
be
transformational
in
the
very
very
short
term.
Thank.
H
So
I'm
excited
to
have
this
conversation
and
thank
both
councilor
Lydia
Edwards
and
shell
for
their
leadership
on
this
and
I
would
just
like
to
add.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
and
are
no
longer
able
to
live
in
Boston,
because
they've
been
displaced
and
have
been
gentrified
out
and
who
are
commuting
from
Brockton,
but
still
working
here.
H
A
You
so
much
anyone
looking
to
add
their
name:
councillor
Arroyo
councillor
Baker
councillor,
Bob,
councillor,
Braden,
councillor,
Campbell,
councillor,
Lobby,
George,
Council
of
Flaherty,
councillor
Flynn,
councillor
Mejia
can
float
O'malley
and
please
also
add
the
chair.
Dock
at
0
285
will
be
referred
to
the
Committee
on
planning,
development
and
transportation.
B
K
A
K
Wanted
to
note
that
councillor
Campbell
had
been
at
a
sponsor
when
we
edition,
when
we
initially
filed
this
last
year,
and
so
I
unintentionally
left
her
name
out
when
coming
to
refile
this,
as
noted
by
our
president,
this
is
a
refile.
This
is
part
of
the
conversation.
That's
kicked
off
about
many
of
our
neighbourhood
issues
with
parking
I,
don't
know
many
neighborhoods
that
don't
have
this
issue,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it
has
a
lot
to
do
with
planning.
K
It
has
a
lot
to
do
with
creativity
and
it's
gonna
require
all
hands
on
deck
to
be
part
of
us.
We
want
to
look
at
how
do
we
plan
accordingly
for
the
cars
in
the
city,
but
also
how
do
we
make
sure
that
we
are
planning
accordingly
for
people
to
be
able
to
come
home
from
night
or
come
home
at
night
and
be
able
to
just
go
home
into
their
into
their
buildings
into
wherever
they're
living
without
having
to
circle
the
block
a
thousand
times?
K
I
actually
think
in
many
cases
we
end
up
with
a
lot
of
carbon,
a
carbon
monoxide
in
our
streets
and
a
lot
of
idling
cars
just
for
looking
for
parking.
But
this
conversation
is
more
comprehensive.
We
want
to.
We
want
everything
on
the
table.
We
want
to
look
at
metered
parking
in
East
Boston.
We
are
by
the
airport.
K
We
have
40
stations,
we
do
not
have
one
meter
in
East
Boston,
and
so
what
that
does
encouraged
folks
from
other
cities
and
towns
to
come
in
and
Park
on
our
city
streets
and
then
take
our
public
transportation
and
well
they
get
that
for
free
because
they
have
the
two
hour
parking.
But
if
you
parked
it
four
o'clock,
not
that
I'm
encouraging
this
you
get
from
4:00
to
whenever
you
come
home
from
the
theatre
for
free
in
the
city
of
Boston,
but
for
those
of
us
who
live
in
East,
Boston,
meaning
those
streets.
K
So
we
want
to
look
at
metered
parking.
We
want
to
look
at
angled
parking,
however
gonna
plan
for
that
in
our
neighborhoods.
We
want
to
look
at
visitor
parking,
look
at
looking
at
health
care
workers
and
also
one
of
the
things
that
came
to
my
attention.
Last
year
was,
while
we
have
an
incredible
shelter,
crossroad,
shelter
in
East
Boston,
a
woman
came
to
us
because
she
had
a
boot
on
her
car.
She
had
been
assigned
to
the
shelter
from
across
the
state
and
that's
not
something
she
can't
control.
K
K
So
these
are
these
are
things
that
the
city
of
Boston
needs
to
talk
about
in
terms
of
how
we're
going
to
treat
our
most
vulnerable,
how
we're
gonna
plan
for
all
of
our
families
to
be
able
to
come
home
at
night
and
to
stop
idling
around
our
neighborhoods,
so
I
look
forward
to
having
this
conversation
this
year.
Thank.
F
F
Whether
it
is
parking
reform
can't
park,
speeding,
cars,
congested
streets,
ways,
you
name
it
so
I'm
excited
to
have
a
comprehensive
conversation
with
respect
to
all
the
pieces
that
are
in
the
hearing
order
and
also
creating
a
space
for
residents
and
other
councillors
to
bring
concerns
for
their
specific
neighborhoods
and
then
getting
creative
around
their
response,
because
it
shows
up
differently,
sometimes
depending
on
the
district,
but
depending
on
the
population,
depending
on
the
density
etc.
So,
looking
forward
to
the
conversation-
and
I
think
my
co-sponsors-
thank
you,
madam
president,
thank.
H
Thank
you,
councillor
Edwards,
and
a
sobbing
George
councillor,
sabi
George,
for
your
leadership
in
this
I
just
want
to
just
quickly
uplift
that,
when
I
think
about
parking,
I
I
think
that
we
also
need
to
be
mindful
that
for
some
folks
it's
a
difference
between
paying
one
$40
ticket
or
putting
food
on
your
table.
So
we
need
to
be
really
mindful
of
how
we're
ticketing
folks,
but
I
just
think.
It's
also
really
interesting.
H
Is
that,
depending
on
where
you
happen
to
Park
in
the
city,
that's
what
your
fees
cost
so
like
if
I
park
on
Newbury
Street,
it's
X
amount
of
dollars,
but
if
I
park
in
Mattapan
or
in
Dorchester,
the
fees
tend
to
differ,
depending
on
where
you
go
and
I
think
that
that
often
prohibits
people
from
low
economic
statuses
to
be
able
to
park
in
certain
places
of
the
city.
So
I
just
would
like
to
uplift
that
as
an
issue
of
concern
as
we're
looking
at
this
issue
of
parking
before.
A
Thank
you
so
much.

to
add
their
names.

Docket

to

will
be

to
the
Committee

Moving
on
to
dock
at
zero,
two
eight

dock.
K
You,
madam
president,
I,
want
to
first
thank
my
colleagues.
Who've
been
overwhelmingly
supportive
of
this
conversation.
This
is
a
necessary
conversation
because
many
of
us
who
live
in
East,
Boston
and
many
of
us
who
are
part
of
the
movement
for
a
greener
Boston,
are
concerned
about
the
need
at
all
for
a
substation
in
the
middle
of
an
of
an
environmental
justice
community.
The
proposed
substation
is
going
to
be
next
to
the
proposed
police
station
that
we're
going
to
build.
K
It
is
also
near
a
densely
packed
neighborhood
that
is
very
diverse
and
near
a
playground,
and
all
of
that
or
a
moment
aside,
a
lot
of
people
are
not
convinced,
it's
even
necessary.
We
are
not
actually
understanding
why
we
need
a
substation,
and
particularly
this
location
in
East
Boston.
We
feel
it's
a
matter
of
environmental
justice,
it's
very
clear
from
the
ef-s
be
reports.
This
is
in
a
flood
zone
and
based
on
the
recent
designs
of
the
substation.
K
It
will
flood
so
we're
talking
about
a
permanent
infrastructure,
that's
supposed
to
fill
a
need
that
we're
not
quite
convinced,
actually
happens
and
a
location
that
is
actually
very
concerning
to
a
lot
of
people
whose
children
play
near
that,
but
also
add
to
the
fact
that
process
was
extremely
flawed.
It
was
run
by
eversource
and
for
many
of
us
we
felt
that
that
was
not
an
inclusive
process.
It
was
actually
discriminatory
to
many
of
my
constituents
in
East
Boston,
who
do
not
speak
English
as
a
first
language.
K
It
actually
violated
the
language,
access
policy
and
guidelines
established
by
the
executive
office
of
administration
and
Finance,
so
as
in
each
of
one
of
the
hearings
that
they
had
on.
This
did
not
include
interpretation
in
any
way,
shape
or
form,
which
meant
that
many
people
who
are
concerned
and
many
of
the
people
who
live
in
this
particular
area
of
East
Boston,
who
are
Latino,
who
do
not
speak
English
as
a
first
language,
were
not
included
in
that
process.
They
could
not
comment.
They
could
not
criticize.
K
They
could
not
ask
questions
a
silencing
of
such
a
large
population
on
something
that
is
permanent
and
could
impact
their
health
is
discriminatory.
It's
wrong
and
the
process
was
failed.
So
I
am
standing
here
today
to
ask
that
we
revisit
this
decision,
not
only
because
we
I
don't
believe
that
we
were
given
all
the
facts
that
we
needed
as
the
City
Council
when
this
land
was
surplus,
but
also
a
new
fact
has
emerged.
K
We
learned
that
less
than
a
half
mile
away
massport
is
building
a
substation
on
airport
land
that
is
not
in
a
flood
station
at
flood
zone
that
is
protected.
That's
not
where
children
play,
and
so
the
question
for
us
is:
why
does
every
source
need
to
substations
less
than
a
half
mile
away,
one
in
a
densely
populated
neighborhood,
if
at
anything,
take
this
opportunity
to
build
an
infrastructure
that
can
support
the
airport
and
the
neighborhood
at
the
same
time?
So
what
we're
asking
for
is
for
real
conversation
right
now.
K
Eversource
is
already
talking
about
the
design.
Leonie's
Boston
have
rejected
the
design.
We
reject
the
substation.
We're
asking
for
a
true
vetting
and
I
expect.
My
colleagues,
who
have
been
incredible
supportive
to
be
there
to
ask
these
questions,
because
if
it's
not
East
Boston,
it
could
be
South
Boston,
it
could
be
West
Roxbury.
K
These
are
questions
we
need
to
be
asking
in
general,
if
we're
going
to
be
especially
putting
things
on
city
land
that
we
surplus
in
an
environmental
justice
area,
densely
populated
for
children
play
and
the
community
itself
is
not
sold
on
it
and
the
community
itself
was
silenced
in
the
process.
How
could
we
support
this
so
I'm
here
today?
Introducing
this?
Very
importantly,
just
a
a
hearing
order,
I,
look
forward
to
working
with
my
colleagues.
I
also
look
forward
to
having
this
hearing
in
that
beautiful
community
of
East
Boston
with
translation
services,
wonderful.
A
Thank
you
so
much
anyone
else,
looking
to
add
their
name.

back.
Thank
you
so
much
docket
zero.
Two
eight
seven
will
be
referred
to
the
Committee
on
city
and
neighborhood
services.
Moving
on
to
docket
a
zero
to
eight
eight.
Madam
clerk,
could
you
please
read
the
docket.
J
When
I
was
first
elected
to
this
body,
I'm
in
my
first
budget
season
was
2011,
which
was
nine
years
ago
and
isn't
that
long
of
a
time,
but
but
it
really
just
put
things
in
perspective.
Less
than
a
decade
ago,
when
I
was
going
through
the
budget
process,
we
had
the
DPW
folks
come
and
I
asked
what
the
cost
of
her
tonnage
for
our
trash,
pickup
and
I
want
to
say
it
was
in
the
$80
I.
Remember
the
exact
figure,
maybe
86
87
dollars
per
ton.
J
I
asked
what
the
revenue
was
being
generated
for
collecting
recycling.
In
those
days
less
than
10
years
ago
we
were
generating
revenue.
Wasn't
a
tremendous
amount
of
revenue
was
probably
five
or
six
dollars
per
ton,
I'm
sure
the
clerk
can
remember.
She
was
serving
in
this
role
in
those
days,
but
we
were
getting
paid
for
our
recycling
efforts.
We've
seen
that
change
and
we've
seen
recycling
become
less
of
a
valuable
commodity,
but
still
it
was
more
advantageous
to
recycle
than
it
was
to
throw
away
trash
in
2017.
J
When
many
of
you
joined
this
of
a
majority
of
this
council
joined
this
board.
We
were,
we
were
paying
at
that
point.
It
was
six
years
after
the
date
I
referenced.
We
were
paying
for
every
something
and
we
were
paying
about
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
our
recycling
citywide
200
grand
again.
It's
not
that's
not.
You
know,
chopped
liver,
but
that's
that's
a
three
billion
dollar
Buy.
That's
not
a
bad
investment.
They
don't
want
to
take
a
guess
of
what
we
will
be
paying
this
year
for
our
recycling.
J
It's
more
than
two
hundred
thousand
six
million
dollars.
It's
now
more
expensive
to
pick
up
recycling
than
it
is
to
pick
up
trash
that
86
or
87
dollars
per
ton
that
we're
paying
for
trash
pickup.
In
2011
it's
gone
up,
but
it's
gone
up,
it's
in
the
low
90s
or
the
mid
nineties.
It
might
be
ninety
five
dollars,
yet
it's
gonna
be
a
hundred
and
twenty
or
a
hundred
twenty-five
dollars
per
ton
for
our
recycling.
Think
about
that.
For
a
for
a
moment,
there
are
a
whole
host
of
reasons.
J
That's
happening
for
this,
not
the
least
of
which
is
that
China
is
no
longer
accepting
foreign
recycling
they
used
to
and
they
had
a
pretty
reasonable
contamination
rate.
Five
to
ten
percent
they
would
accept.
Our
rate
is
actually
pretty
good.
Comparatively
it
was
about
three
percent,
so
we
were
able
to
may
have
a
relationship
in
place
where
we'd,
actually
keep
costs
low
or
and
sometimes
in
the
earlier
days,
aren't
a
profit.
J
The
Chinese
market
has
essentially
shut
down
all
international,
particularly
recycling
products
from
the
United
States.
They
do
have
a
very
small
contamination
that
they
will
allow
about
half
of
one
percent
which
obviously
we
couldn't
accommodate,
even
if
they
were
looking
to
so
what's
happening
around
the
state.
There
are
a
lot
of
municipalities
in
2020
when
we
know
that
climate
justice
is
a
public
health.
J
Emergency
are
no
longer
recycling,
they're
burying
their
recycling
into
their
landfills,
because
it's
cheaper
and
I
get
that
and
I
am
so
grateful
that
this
administration,
this
mayor
has
said,
that's
not
going
to
happen.
We
are
going
to
pay
the
extra
fee
to
keep
the
recycling,
but
we
need
to
have
some
tough
conversations.
We
need
to
talk
about
the
fact
that
single-stream
recycling
while
convenient
and
while
wonderful
key
for
getting
people
to
understand
what
it
means
to
recycle
and
how
important
it
is.
It
doesn't
work
because
we
are
contaminating
things
and
we're
mixing
things.
J
So
we've
got
some
issues
such
as
textiles,
which
are
still
worth
a
lot
of
money
as
a
commodity
and
get
a
glass
which
in
which,
which
is
actually
pretty
good,
although
in
many
cases
now
it's
more
expensive
to
recycle
glass
in
the
car
and
marking
that
is
to
produce
glass.
But
then
you've
got
food
scraps
and
you've
got
plastics
being
thrown
into
the
recycle
bin
which
contaminated
and
can
make
the
recent
the
the
attributes
or
the
the
parts
of
the
recycling
they're
actually
worth
money
rendered
worthless.
J
So
we
have
to
talk
about
maybe
moving
away
from
single
stream
recycling.
One
way
we
can
do
that.
We
had
a
hearing
order
in
this
body
last
year.
Those
who
were
serving
all
supported
to
have
a
text,
a
separate
textile
recycling
which
is
being
done
at
no
cost,
not
low
cost,
no
cost
to
municipalities.
We
would
we
could
put
an
RFP
out
and
there
would
be
a
number
of
firms
that
would
want
to
do
it
because
it's
such
a
valuable
commodity.
J
We
also
pushed
as
we
have
for
many
many
years,
starting
with
the
former
at-large
councillors
now
serving
in
Congress
with
the
district
5
councillors,
older
brother,
who
served
and
working
on
this
with
me
to
get
composting
pick
up.
We
finally
have
an
RFP
ready
to
go
as
it
relates
to
curbside
composting,
but
that's
something
that
that's
a
quarter
of
our
recycling
could
be
compostable.
I
mean
that's
a
significant
way
that
we
can
address
some
savings.
Public
education
has
to
be
part
of
this
of
all
of
our
trash.
Nearly
three-quarters
could
be
recycled.
J
That's
a
that's
a
staggering
statistic
that
we're
putting
three
out
of
every
four
things
that
go
into
our
waste
stream
could
be
recycled,
but
we
have
to
have
these
tough
conversations
about
what
that
means.
We
have
to
look
at
moving
away
from
single
stream.
We
have
to
have
a
conversation
about
creating
our
own
municipal
recycling
plant.
Other
cities
have
done
it.
J
Large-Scale
cities,
like
Seattle,
have
done
it
small
scales,
town
like
Wellesley
Massachusetts,
which
admittedly
has
a
much
higher
tax
base,
but
Wellesley
has
its
own
recycling
system,
other
smaller
towns
that
are
less
affluent
than
Boston
have
done
it.
We
should
be
having
this
conversation
as
well
as
we
go
forward.
We
have
to
talk
about
working
with
our
partners
in
the
state,
as
it
relates
to
extended
producer
responsibility
policies,
refillable
programs
like
coffee
cup
collection
and
grain
maker
and
Boston
things
that
are
already
working.
We
need
to
not
only
address
and
highlight
but
really
implement.
J
This
is
a
huge
issue.
This
is
not
only
an
environmental
issue,
although
it
is
one.
This
is
not
only
a
public
safety
issue
or
a
public
health
issue,
although
it
is
one
it's
really
quality
of
life
issue
and
the
most
important
role
we
all
have.
The
13
of
us
all
have
is
to
be
fiscal
stewards
of
the
taxpayers.
J
Money
well
right
now
we're
not
getting
a
good
deal
for
our
taxpayers,
we're
doing
the
right
thing
because
I
will,
you
know,
mark
my
words
I'll
make
sure
that
we
have
recycling
programs
here
in
Boston,
but
we
need
to
be
more
efficient.
We
need
to
be
more
effective
if
we
have
these
conversations,
so
it's
heavy
hearing,
let's
bring
in
the
stakeholders,
let's
bring
in
the
advocates.
Let's
have
some
tough
conversations,
make
some
tough
decisions
and
really
address
that,
and
then
not
only
will
we
agree.
J
E
Did
speaker?
Thank
you,
madam
president,
want
to
make
one
point.
Thank
you
for
leading
on
this
councillor
O'malley,
the
one.
The
one
thing
that
I
would
like
to
see
happening.
We've
talked
about
this
in
the
past
is
if
we
can
get
rid
of
the
Oakland
organics
to
compost,
I,
think
it's
25%
or
more,
but
there
are.
E
There
are
examples
of
actual
digesters
that
that
we
could
that
we
could
build
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
it
would
do
two
things
we
would
be
in
control
of
our
own
destiny,
meaning
we
would
be
able
to
control
that
price
moving
into
the
future.
We
would
we
would
create
jobs
and
also
be
able
to
end
there
and
they're
good
jobs.
So
this
is
something
that
with
councilor
O'malley
I've
been
talking
about
for
a
couple
years.
E
F
F
All
of
that
that
you
brought
up
in
this
hearing
what
I
think
are
so
critical,
so
look
forward
to
engaging
with
you
and
what
the
the
body
specifically
when
it
comes
to
certain
neighborhoods
around
these
conversations
and
I
think
that
goes
to
the
larger
point
of
climate
change,
climate
justice,
certain
communities
that
don't
necessarily
participate
in
the
larger
conversations,
but
want
to
maybe
are
doing
it
in
a
siloed
way,
so
excited
to
work
with
you
on
this
hearing
order,
but
also
bringing
it
outside
of
this
space.
And
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
Thank.
A
You
and
add
your
name
yes,
and
so
we're
adding
councillor
Baker
and
Campbell
anyone
else.
Councillor
Arroyo
councillor,
Bob
councillor,
Braden,
councillor,
Edwards,
councillor,
savvy
George,
Council
of
Flaherty
council
Flynn,
councillor
Mejia,
councillor
whoo
and
please
also
add
the
chair.
Docket
0
to
8
8
will
be
referred
to
the
Committee
on
Environment,
resiliency
and
parks.
A
A
A
A
E
Baker
you
have
the
flu.
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
this
was
the
this
was
the
amendment
that
I
brought
to
the
floor.
It
seems
like
10
years
ago,
but
it
was
two
weeks
ago.
I
think
it's
a
technical
change
for
the
lobbying
lobbying
ordinance
that
was
put
forth
and,
and
it
will
not
if
it
will
not
affect
the
legislation.
A
E
Okay,
so
what
I'll
do
is
I'll
read
my
talking
parents
from
the
from
the
amendment
we
are
submitting
this
way
file
today.
The
IT
department
of
the
city
of
Boston
created
an
online
portal
for
the
registration
and
reporting
for
lobbyists,
lobbying
entities
and
clients,
all
activities
required
by
this
ordinance
processed
and
completed
electronically
upon
registration,
each
lobbyist
lobbying
in
it
entity
and
client
our
signed
a
registration
number
which
they
will
use
as
long
as
they
are
engaged
in.
E
The
lobbying
with
the
city
of
Boston
language
we
are
seeking
to
delete,
is
necessary
to
allow
the
system
to
create
active
and
inactive
designations.
Once
someone
is
terminated,
they
are
unable
to
file
their
quarterly
reports
for
each
reporting
period,
which
is
the
overall
purpose
of
this
legislation.
E
The
city's
quarterly
reporting
is
twice
as
much
as
a
so
basically
what's
happening
at
the
end
of
the
people
that
are
have
have
registered
via
lobbyist
they're
automatically
getting
knocked
off
and
becoming
inactive,
and
because
it's
a
online
online
registration
you're
unable
to
file
your
report
so
going
into
January
everybody
that
Lobby
last
year
they're
unable
to
file
their
reports.
So
this
change
would
help
the
IDP
IT
department
enable
that
website
or
a
link
that
you
look
at
to
be
able
to
able
to
decipher
between
active
and
inactive.
Thank.
A
You
so
much
I
have
this
right
right,
so
just
to
be
simple
and
crystal
clear.
Our
rules
that
we
adopted
earlier
in
the
meeting
did
not
reflect
the
change
of
the
ordinance
that
we
passed
last
session.
So
what
councillor
Baker
is
asking
is
that
we're
updating
that
particular
rule?
It's
rule,
44
I,
believe
to
reflect
the
new
language.
E
This
is
lobbying
ministration,
ordinance
crap,
so
within
that
order
within
that
ordinance,
there's
a
the
language
created
a
glitch
for
the
IT
department.
So
when
we
change
this
language,
it
will
allow
the
IT
department
and
I'd
rather
a
hammer
in
my
hand,
then
that
I've
got
a
computer,
so
I'm
doing
the
best
I
can
at
this
one
yeah.
This
allows
the
IT
department
to
fix
that
language
and
people
won't
automatically
at
the
end
the
yet
become
an
actor.

Thank.
A
B
F
A
A
A
You
so
much
councillor,
sorry
George,
for
the
clarification
we
will
Madame
clerk.
I'm
gonna
ask
you
to
reread
that
docket
0
to
2
7
and
that
it
will
be
assigned
from
the
committee
of
the
whole
into
the
Committee
of
Public
Health.
Could
you
just
read
that
into
the
record
so
that
it's
nice
and
clear
mm-hmm.
K
A
A
I
Would
read
this
during
the
break,
but
I
was
just
looking
back
at
docket
number
0
2
6
8
councillor
sabi,
George's,
hearing
on
the
Boston
Public
Schools
transportation
budget
and
reading
through
the
docket
more
clearly
and
was
wondering
because
now
there
is
a
new
post,
Audit
Committee
if
it
could
potentially
be
jointly
assigned
to
ways
and
means
and
post
audit,
because
it
is
both
looking
backwards
and
fors
I'm,
just
throwing
that
out
there.
But
if
you
want
to
discuss
more,
we
could
go
into
recess.
Thank.
A
You
for
that,
for
now
we're
going
to
leave
it
in
the
committee
of
ways
and
means
certainly
would
hope
that
you,
as
chair
of
Post,
thought
it
would
participate.
Okay
and
thank
you
now
we're
going
to
move
on
to
the
consent
agenda
I've
been
informed
by
the
clerk
that
there
is
one
addition
to
the
consent
agenda.
Hearing
no
objections.
The
matter
will
be
added.
The
chair
now
moves
for
adoption
of
the
consent
agenda.
All
those
in
favor
say
those
opposed,
nay,
the
eyes.
Have
it
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
announcements.
D
D
to
be
a
late,
and
it
will
be
a
cold
evening
also
during
this
time.
There
is
a
point
in
time,
count
that
happens
across
shelters
and
hospitals
and
other
locations
across
the
city
and
across
the
state.
So,
if
I
invite
you
all
to
join
mayor,
Walsh
myself
this
evening
for
this
annual
census
almost
census,
thank
you.
G
Thank
you,
man,
a
president
I
know
a
resolution
was
circulated
by
a
colleague,
city,
councilman
O'malley
on
behalf
of
council.
One
and
I,
on
behalf
of
the
entire
council,
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
publicly
wish
Jimmy
Donley
a
happy
42nd
birthday.
Let
him
know
that
we're
thinking
of
him
we're
praying
for
him
he's
been
ill
and
we
appreciate
all
the
work
that
he's
done
for
all
of
us,
our
staffs
in
the
residence.
No
one
runs
the
dark
square
garage
better
than
Jimmy
Donnelly.
G
L
You,
madam
president,
I
also
want
to
echo
what
councilor
clarity's
said
about
our
good
friend
Jimmy
John
Lee
on
his
42nd
birthday
Jimmy's.
A
tremendous
example
of
what
a
dedicated
city
of
Boston
official
employee
is
all
about.
Hard-Working
takes
his
job
serious,
always
helping
people
treats
everybody
with
respect
and
kindness
and
proud
that
Jimmy's,
a
friend
of
mine.
He
has
many
friends
in
this
audience
of
putting
all
the
City
Council,
including
my
friend,
Kenny
and
Neil
up
there
as
well,
but
we
want
to
wish
Jimmy
a
happy
birthday
in
you
know.
J
You,
madam
president,
I
ask
unanimous
consent
to
make
a
brief
statement.
You
have
it.
Thank
you
ditto.
We
love
you
Jimmy
and
we're
all
thinking
about
you
and
happy
birthday.
Buddy,
that's
not
the
brief
statement.
This
is
the
brief
statement
is
that
one
of
the
people,
for
whom
we'll
be
closing
in
memory
of
today
is
a
very
dear
friend
to
me
and
my
family,
whom
we
lost
two
weeks
ago.
Ed
maza
is
his
name
and
I
know
his
family's
watching
this.
J
So
I
just
wanted
to
very,
very
briefly
just
talk
about
what
a
great
guy
we
have
in
a
huge
loss
to
West
Roxbury
we've
known
the
maza
family,
our
entire
lives.
We
went
to
school
together
and
Ed's.
Just
was
always
just
just
a
happy
kind.
Funny
dry,
just
tremendous
guy
and
I
would
see
him
walking
around
our
neighborhood.
He
lives
two
blocks
away.
I
live
two
blocks
away
from
Catherine
and
I,
and
seeing
him
was
always
a
highlight
in
an
often
tough
days.
J
E
President,
like
like
councillor
Malley
I,
just
want
to
mention
someone's
name,
and
he
was
connected
on
earlier
because
of
the
thing
that
my
brother
John
come
up
this.
This
gentleman
was
my
brother's
drummer
Jake
Trina
son
of
South
Boston
worked
for
the
fire
department,
he
was.
They
were
big
in
the
music
scene
and
in
Dorchester
and
in
South
Boston
back
in
70s
80s,
and
he
was
he
was
a
fabulous
artist.
Also.
E
I
would
also
like
to
say
if
anybody
wants
to
come
see
a
good
development,
conscious
developer
looks
to
do
something
that
he
works
with
the
neighborhood
daily
marketing
in
on
Savin
Hill
Ave,
Savin,
Hill
Ave
in
Sydney
Street
is
opening
tomorrow.
It
just
happens
to
be
my
brother
who's,
the
developer
in
there
and
and
and
the
person
who's
opening
the
store
that
tagline
is
where
communion
community
and
convenience
collides.
E
So
thank
you
and
also
I,
have
one
question:
if
I'm
allowed
to
ask
so
in
the
lobbying
here,
we
were
talking
about
no
person
to
for
compensation,
reward,
actually
promote,
opposed
or
influence
a
matter
pending
before
the
council.
Does
that
mean
the
the
advocates
that
are
paid
to
be
here?
Are
they
gonna
have
to
take
out
the
lobbying?
Are
they
gonna
need
to
register
as
lobbyists,
because
it
looks
like
they
paid
to
to
push
an
agenda,
just
a
thought?
Whoever
wants
to
answer
it
today,
I'll
be
around
feel.
A

will
