Description
Boston City Council Meeting on January 26, 2021
C
B
A
B
A
A
Now
onto
the
first
order
of
business,
which
is
the
approval
of
minutes,
seeing
in
hearing
no
discussion
on
the
matter,
the
chair
moves
to
approve
the
minutes
from
the
last
meeting
as
presented
all
of
those
in
favor
of
approving
the
minutes
from
the
last
meeting
say:
aye
all
opposed,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it.
Thank
you.
The
meetings
of
the
last
minute
stand
is
approved.
A
A
We
will
vote
on
this
talk
at
first
to
adopt
the
rules
so
that
we
can
assign
the
matter
into
the
appropriate
committee
and
actually
hold
hearings
at
the
appropriate
time.
The
updated
rules
deleted
some
redundant
sentences.
He
had
added
clarifying
language
and
added
back
a
previous
rule
about
not
using
electronic
devices
on
the
floor.
It
also
include
includes
updated
names
for
the
various
committees.
A
A
F
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
say
that
um
you
know
congratulations
on
your
presidency
and
um
I
just
as
the
dean
of
this
delegation,
the
one
that's
serving
the
longest
continuous
time
I
mean
that
might
be
a
beat
between
flaherty
and
I,
but
I
I
have
to
get
up
and
say
that
I'm
uncomfortable
here
taking
this
vote,
not
knowing
is
the
first
time
in
in
doing
this.
F
I
think
we
I
mean
that
there
could
even
be
opportunities
to
invoke
rule
33
and
put
it
in
front
of
a
committee
and
and
talk
about
it
a
little
bit,
because
I
for
one
feel
like
um
someone
in
the
dock
on
this,
and
I
would
like
to
see
some
sort
of
list
of
what
the
committees
are
at
some
point.
It's
after
we
vote
on
this
and
now
and
again,
I'm
just
up
here.
I
I
just
wanted
to
stand
and
make
that
public
known
that.
F
I
don't
think
that
this
was
necessarily
a
great
way
to
assign
committees,
nobody
knowing
where
they
were.
The
only
time
we
saw
them
was
when
people
that
didn't
have
the
authority
to
claim
committees
put
them
in
the
newspaper
that
should
come
from
you.
We
should
all
know
where
everybody
is.
I
don't
necessarily
know
where
I
am.
I
think
I
know
where
I
am,
but
I
have
some
major
concerns
moving
forward
with
what
the
perception
of
may,
what
may
happen
and
I'll
conclude
my
remarks
there.
Thank
you,
mr
president,.
A
I
went
out
of
my
way
as
much
as
I
could
to
be
accessible
during
this
period
of
time,
just
to
try
to
listen
as
much
as
I
possibly
could
to
my
counselors
on
what
they
are
interested
in.
Trying
to
I
try
to
make
a
decision
that
helps,
helps
the
city
the
best
we
that
I
thought
I
thought
we
could
and
I
try
to
match
people
up
at
best
with
their
skills
and
education
experience.
So
I'll
continue
to
work
with
my
colleagues
and
we
also
have
the
option
down
the
road.

refunding

of

A
A
D
D
A
H
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
to
my
co-sponsor
counselor
bach.
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
dockets
that
we're
going
to
be
speaking
on
today,
so
I
will
be
brief.
We
introduced
this
home
rule
petition
last
year,
but
unfortunately
we
were
not
able
to
pass
it
or
act
on
it.
We
are
hoping
that
this
year
we
will
get
to
the
point
where
we
can
send
it
over
to
the
mayor's
desk
and
then
on
to
the
state
house.
H
Young
people
have
major
impacts
in
our
community,
but
often
do
not
have
a
say
in
the
decisions
that
shape
their
lives.
They
pay
taxes
but
don't
have
a
say
on
how
they
are
spent.
They
have
tried
to.
They
are
tried
as
adults,
but
are
treated
as
minors
in
other
courts
of
law.
They
are
expected
to
advocate
on
behalf
of
their
schools,
but
are
not
given
an
equal
voice
to
do
so.
We
are
hoping
to
address
that
through
this
whole
new
petition.
We
look
forward
to
the
conversation
and
to
moving
forward
on
this
issue.
Thank
you.
I
I
For
that
to
be
the
case,
whereas
for
if
young
people
were
able
to
start
exercising
the
franchise
on
local
issues
where
they
live,
while
they're
in
community
we'd
be
hearing
these
debates
in
school
hallways,
and
I
think
we
would
be
cultivating
the
habit
of
voting
that
would
really
last
over
time,
in
addition
to
the
fact
that
I
think
that,
as
we
see
time
and
time
again,
our
young
people,
they
are
prepared
to
make
their
voices
heard
and
they
do
deserve
a
say
in
what
happens
in
our
community.
So
looking
forward
to
the
conversation
ahead.
J
Mr
president,
um
just
a
point
of
information
with
passage
of
council
rules
and
docket
0205
when
will
committee,
be
assignments,
be
communicated
to
the
members
of
the
council
and
will
communication
be
filed
with
the
clerk
as
part
of
of
the
record,
we're
already
assigning
dockets
to
committees,
but
we
don't
have
any
idea
who's
actually
on
those
committees
and
who
will
be
chairing
those
committees.
uh
It's
it's
not
it's
not
uh
in
our
hands.
J
At
this
moment,
dockets
are
being
assigned
to
committees
right
now
and
without
an
understanding
of
the
committee
composition,
members
will
not
know
if
they
would
like
to
move
for
a
reconsideration
or
or
of
recommendations
for
another
committee.
So
I
I
really
feel
at
this
moment
it's
important
that
we
we
we
address
the
committee
assignment
issue.
Thank.
A
B
K
You,
uh
mr
president,
I'm
going
to
keep
this
brief,
because
I
have
a
couple
refills.
This
is
a
refile
on
uh
survivor
benefits
for
the
wife
of
a
boston
firefighter
mr
leroy
or
roy
rodriguez,
who
died
on
the
surgery
table
for
injuries
he
sustained
during
the
course
of
his
duties.
He
was
responding
to
a
fire.
He
tore
his
achilles
tendon.
He
still
went
to
this
fire.
K
Besides,
the
survivor
benefits
is,
if
you
pass
away
in
the
line
of
duty,
your
children
have
a
separate
line
to
join
the
boston
fire
department.
His
son
would
like
to
follow
in
his
footsteps
and
join
the
boston
fire
department
and
so
receiving.
This
would
would
allow
him
entry
before
he
ages
out,
and
so
that
is
something
that
we're
going
to
move
on,
uh
hopefully
soon
uh
once
we
once,
we
know
how
that's
going
to
go,
but
that
is
what
this
is
for.
K
C
K
K
K
That
is
uh
not
necessarily
perfect,
but
is
good
and
does
the
work
that
the
city
has
asked
us
to
do
when
they
voted
overwhelmingly
to
to
enact
an
an
elected
school
committee,
uh
and
so
this
is
just
a
re-file
from
last
year
and
there'll
be
more
uh
edits
to
this
and
more
work
done
on
this
with
the
body.
Thank
you.
H
President
and
to
my
co-sponsor,
counselor
last
november,
boston
residents
made
it
perfectly
clear
that
we
need
to
return
to
an
elected
school
committee
with
over
99
000
bostonians
voting
in
favor
of
returning
to
an
elected
school
committee.
We
have
an
obligation
to
make
that
happen
and
to
make
the
process
as
engaging
and
as
collaborative
as
possible.
H
We
have
had
the
privilege
of
working
alongside
several
amazing
advocates:
the
yes
on
three
coalition,
the
naacp,
the
boston,
education,
equity
and
more
we're
going
to
continue
engaging
the
public
through
a
series
of
community
conversations
that
we
hope
to
be
hosting
soon
and
I'm
happy
to
say
that
we'll
be
doing
it
in
various
native
languages
to
ensure
that
all
voices
are
heard.
Thank
you.
A
K
This
will
also
undergo
some
changes
through
the
working
uh
process.
uh
Councillor
edwards
uh
has
raised
some
some
good
uh
amendments
and
things
that
might
happen
here
to
ensure
that
it
expands
its
scope
from
just
sort
of
laborers
and
construction
workers
to
folks
who
are
in
uh
sort
of
our
restaurant
industry
and
places
like
that,
where
we're
dealing
with
wage
theft
on
a
regular
basis.
uh
This
is
going
to
uh
strengthen
our
wage
theft,
sort
of
uh
rules
in
the
city
of
boston.
K
A
H
uh
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
to
my
co-sponsor,
counselor
members
of
my
staff
have
experienced
wage
theft
at
previous
jobs.
Y'all,
don't
worry
and
we're
leaving
the
experience
brought
something
incredibly
important
to
light,
because
it's
not
just
the
higher
ups
who
are
experiencing
wage
theft,
it's
not
the
ceo
or
the
cfo
or
the
general
manager.
No,
it's
the
low-income
workers,
the
people
out
on
these
sites
doing
the
work.
It's
the
people
who
have
who
have
if
a
hundred
dollars
or
so
is
missing
out
of
their
paycheck.
It
can't
just
be
written
off.
K
You
uh
this
is
a
refile.
This
has
to
deal
with
uh
sort
of
growing
our
uh
tree
protection,
our
tree
canopy
protections
in
the
city
of
boston,
other
cities
like
wellesley
and
cambridge
and
other
neighborhoods
in
in
sorry.
Other
towns
uh
within
the
state
uh
have
already
enacted
policies
like
this.
The
idea
is
to
protect
trees
and
sort
of
create
a
policy
for
not
just
public
trees,
but
for
private
trees.
K
Much
of
what
we
lose
in
terms
of
canopy
is
on
private
property.
Much
of
it
is
due
to
clear
cutting
or
development,
and
so
this
is
to
create
some
some
rules
around
that.
I
just
want
to
remind
everyone
that
we
did
have
a
hearing
on
this
uh
or
inform
our
newer
members
that
we
had
a
hearing
on
this
last
year.
The
urban
forestry
group
is
working
on
this
and
they're
going
to
come
up
with
an
urban
forestry
plan.
K
The
idea
is
to
sort
of
dovetail
this
with
that
and
work
in
conjunction
with
sort
of
their
findings
and
with
what
the
groups
and
the
advocates
in
there
in
their
process
have
brought
up
and
said
and
sort
of
make
something.
That's
very
powerful,
based
off
of
sort
of
things
that
we're
seeing
in
other
cities
and
states,
but
also
what
this
group
is
able
to
put
together,
and
so
this
is
something
that
will
be
filed.
J
J
A
Would
anyone
else
would
anyone
like
to
add
their
name?
Madam
clerk?
Please
add
counselor
baker,
councillor
bach,
council
fernandez,
anderson
council,
flaherty,
council
of
lara
council,
rejean
councillor,
uh
mejia,
council,
murphy,
councilworld
and
please
add
the
chair
as
well:
docket
zero
one,
eight
nine
will
be
referred
to
the
committee
on
government
operations.
I
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
president,
um
and
I
know
I
have
a
run
of
mainly
refiles
now,
so
I
will
try
to
be
brief
on
them
this,
uh
but
really
what
what
holds
them
all
together
and
they're
all
connected
to
a
set
of
filings.
I
did
last
year
related
to
really
making
sure
that
we're
using
public
land
and
public
finance
um
for
public,
good
and
thinking
robustly
about
how
the
city
sort
of
uses
those
resources
and
a
number
of
them
are
focused
on
housing.
I
So
this
one
folks
uh
incumbent
former
incumbents
on
the
council
will
remember
that
I
raised
this
last
year.
Public
housing,
as
we
talked
about
even
in
the
past
week,
is
in
increasingly
many
of
our
neighborhoods.
The
only
way
that
we're
anchoring
really
low
income
bostonians
in
the
city
and
it's
something
that
we
should
recommit
to
both
in
terms
of
existing
units
and
in
terms
of
creating
new
units
and
there's
some
amazing
new
financing
tools
to
help
us
do
that
in
more
places
and
mix
them
in
and
add
them
on
top
of
libraries.
I
And
I
really
want
the
city
to
be
digging
in
on
this
and
committing
to
this
course
of
action,
not
least
because,
where
many
of
boston's
peer
cities
are
prohibited
from
the
federal
government
by
something
called
a
fair
cloth
limit
from
adding
any
new
public
housing
units.
The
city
of
boston
is
2
500
units
under
our
fair
cloth
limit.
So
we
have
10
000
public
housing
units
in
this
city
with
a
waitlist
of
50
000
families,
and
we
have
the
ability
to
have
it
in
our
control
to
increase
that
number
by
25.
I
That
also
helps
us
get
a
more
sustainable
subsidy,
so
this
sounds
kind
of
technical,
but
um
from
my
perspective,
it's
probably
our
best
bet
at
getting
a
significant
tranche
of
new,
extremely
low
income
housing,
and
it's
something
that
I
want
us
to
be
um
pursuing
uh
very
vociferously
and
in
partnership
with
the
wood
administration
in
the
coming
term.
So
I
look
forward
to
having
a
hearing
on
it
soon
and
thank
you,
mr
president,.
A
E
uh
Please
have
my
name
is
a
co-sponsor
and
I
just
want
to
commend
uh
the
previous
speaker
for
her
great
work
and
constant
advocacy
on
public
housing
issues
as
someone
who's
born
in
public
housing
and
knows
the
importance
of
public
housing
in
our
city,
but
also
as
it
pertains
to
my
family.
Public
housing
was
there
when
my
grandfather
had
died
very
suddenly,
when
my
grandmother
had
two
children,
my
mother
and
her
brother,
and
it
was
a
safety
net
lifeline
for
them.
E
So
I
think
between
the
three
myself,
my
mother
and
my
grandma,
I
think
we
have
probably
about
a
combined
100
years
of
the
old
harbor
projects,
which
is
down
the
maryland
mccormick,
so
I've
always
been
steadfast
in
sticking
up
and
fighting
for
folks
in
public
housing.
Making
sure
their
quality
of
life
is
uh
is
consistent
with
quality
life
throughout
the
city,
and
I
know
that
council
bock
has
been
a
staunch
advocate.
So
again,
please
sign
my
name
and
look
forward
to
an
expedited
hearing.
A
Okay,
if
anyone
else
would
like
to
add
their
name,
please
raise
your
hand.
Council
arroyo,
councillor
baker,
councillor
fernandez,
anderson
council
of
lara
council
region,
council
of
mejia,
councillor,
murphy,
council,
warrell
and
please
add
the
cheer
as
well
um
docket
zero
one.
Nine
zero
will
be
referred
to
the
committee
on
housing
and
community
development.
I
I
And
I
know
this
was
the
subject
of
lots
of
conversation
in
the
election
season.
Last
year-
and
I
think
it's
time
for
us
to
do
something
about
it-
and
we
know
from
our
previous
iterations
that
it
takes
some
doing
to
get
zoning
amendments
through
because
there
are
these
multiple
layers,
so
we
really
wanted
to
start
early
and
say
this
should
be
a
priority
for
the
coming
session.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
A
J
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
want
to
thank
the
lead
sponsor
on
this
very,
very
important
hearing
order.
um
I
think
I
think
we
forget
just
the
sheer
scale
of
what
we're
up
against
in
terms
of
the
need
for
affordable
housing
in
our
city.
I
know
from
alston
brighton.
We
at
our
cdc
has
a
wait
list
of
17
000
folks,
who
are
families
who
are
needing
and
waiting
for,
affordable
housing
opportunities
in
our
in
our
neighborhood,
and
this
is
reflected
all
across
our
city.
J
So
what
there's
a
huge
level
of
urgency
here,
and
I
really
hope
that
we
can
start
to
be
really
creative
in
with
regard
to
development
in
the
city
and
trying
to
pair
um
sort
of
thinking
about
all
the
huge
amount
of
lab
development
and
trying
to
leverage
some
additional
funds
and
space
for
affordable
housing
in
the
context
of
all
the
the
lab
development.
That's
happening
in
our
city,
so
that
we
are
anticipating
an
increase
in
numbers
of
workers
in
our
in
these
facilities,
but
those
those
folks
are
going
to
need
housing.
J
So
I
think,
as
uh
rather
than
anticipating,
that
all
the
workforce
is
going
to
be
coming
in
from
the
suburbs
that
we
will
actually
be
housing
them
in
our
neighborhoods,
they
will
work,
live
and
play
in
our
neighborhoods
and
contribute
to
the
civic
life
of
our
neighborhoods
and
the
affordable
housing
piece
of
the
equation
is
critically
important
to
that
conversation.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
council
braden.
Would
anyone
else
like
to
speak
on
this
matter
and
would
anyone
like
to
add
their
name?
Please
add
counselor
baker.
Please
add
counsel
arroyo,
counselor
wu,
zhen,
council
lara
councillor,
murphy
council
were
all
in
the
chair.
um
Docket
0191
will
be
referred
to
the
committee
on
planning,
development
and
transportation.
B
B
A
D
B
B
E
E
E
K
L
A
N
H
A
A
D
F
C
B
B
B
I
Thank
you
so
much,
um
uh
mr
president,
uh
this
stock,
it's
again
a
refill,
but
we
didn't
have
a
chance
to
talk
about
it
um
in
the
latter
half
of
last
year,
so
I
am
hoping
to
hold
a
hearing
on
it
soon.
um
I
really
think
that
there
is
an
opportunity
for
this
council
to
think
about
how
we
should
transform
the
use
of
the
boston,
planning
and
development
agency's
planning
and
land
use
tools
for
the
public
good.
I
There's
a
really
strong
precedent
here
in
the
1980s,
the
boston
redevelopment
authority
used
those
powers
to
enable
the
dudley
street
neighborhood
initiative
to
assemble
a
land
trust
in
a
60-acre
area.
It
was
actually
the
first
time
that
such
governmental
powers
were
used
on
behalf
of
a
non-profit
anywhere
in
the
country
that
happened
in
the
flint
administration.
I
um
These
are
the
building
housing,
public
social
housing
places
like
I
was
talking
about
earlier,
and
also
when
we
think
about
kind
of
some
of
the
climate
mitigation
land
uses.
I
think
we're
going
to
need
these
tools,
um
but
at
the
same
time
we
want
to
constrain
and
prevent
sort
of
some
of
the
past
of
urban
renewal,
and
this
is
all
going
to
come
to
conversation
before
the
council
very
imminently,
because
the
city's
existing
urban
renewal
zones
are
set
to
expire
in
april
um
without
some
form
of
mayoral
and
council
action.
I
So
I
expect
we'll
hear
from
the
administration
on
this
um
and
there's
and
there's
probably
some
of
those
that
we'll
want
to
talk
about
expiring
and
some
things
that
we
may
want
to
talk
about,
transforming
in
this
way
for
the
public
good.
So
I
hope
to
be
able
to
have
a
hearing
quite
soon
to
discuss
this
and
wanted
to
um
file
this
hearing
order
um
so
that
we
could
get
that
conversation
started
and-
and
I
want
to
thank
counselor
louis
jen-
for
joining
me
in
this.
I
A
I
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
president,
um
this
again
is
a
refile
and
it's
actually
something
that
I
was
pleased
to
offer
in
partnership
with
uh
former
council
president
acting
mayor,
janie
and
also
uh
councillor
campbell
uh
related
to
um
the
rental
bar
the
barriers
that
uh
folks
in
boston,
especially
um
low-income
folks
in
boston,
face
to
renting,
and
we
talk
a
lot
about
the
basic
financial
barrier
of
how
much
the
cost
of
housing
is
these
days.
um
Oh,
mr
president,
I'm
so
sorry
I'm
going
to
interrupt
myself.
I
Thank
you
so
much
sorry
for
that,
um
so
uh
yeah
grateful.
As
I
said,
I
lost
two
colleagues
who
were
collaborators
on
this,
so
grateful
to
have
two
other
freshman
colleagues
joining
and
again
they'll
save
their
remarks
for
the
hearing.
um
But
uh
you
know
we
dug
in
in
october
2020
um
there
was
a
housing
committee
hearing.
We
talked
to
the
bha
about
the
barriers
that
their
voucher
holders
face
um
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
heard
was
even
when
somebody
has
a
voucher
that
can
pay
for
rent.
I
Often
there
are
credit
checks
that
are
being
imposed.
um
There
are
enormous
thumbs
that
are
required
for
first
lasting
security.
These
are
things
that
folks
in
boston
who
rent
know
well,
but
they
act
as
a
kind
of
invisible
barrier,
often
to
housing.
That
should,
in
theory,
be
accessible
and
they're
a
huge
burden
on
our
families,
and
we
see-
and
we
see
that
both
credit
and
other
things
like
criminal
background
check
um
over
utilization
can
really
impact,
in
particular
our
black
and
brown
families
in
the
city
and.
D
I
What
we
sort
of
talked
about
this
informationally
last
session,
and
we
decided
we
wanted
to
get
to
a
next
step
of
actually
working
on
a
real
ordinance
and
figuring
out
how
to
put
some
teeth
into
removing
these
barriers
when
they
don't
do
any
good
and
they
aren't
necessary,
for
instance,
a
voucher
holder.
Their
rent
is
guaranteed
by
the
federal
government.
You
don't
need
to
also
be
checking
their
credit,
um
and
this
is
something
I'm
looking
forward
to
us.
Partnering
with
the
administration
on.
I
um
I
think
other
cities
across
the
country
have
done
a
lot
to
um
to
set
better
best
practices
than
we
have
and
even
in
our
own
um
program.
I
think
we
have
in
some
of
our
affordable
programs,
sponsored
by
the
city,
credit
checking
requirements
that
we
probably
should
look
again
at.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
talking
about
this
and
seeing
how
low-income
families
can
not
be
locked
out
of
housing
in
this
way,
and
we
can
therefore
expand
access
to
safe
and
stable
housing.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
A
A
I
A
I
And
so
um
this
is
really
a
hearing
order
to
do
a
few
things.
um
It's
designed
to
give
us
a
space
to
talk
about
the
allocation
of
those
monies
going
forward,
um
but
it's
also
designed
to
talk
about
some
of
the
recent
guidance.
That's
been
issued
by
the
federal
government
about
how
those
funds
are
to
be
um
used
and
overseen
and
and
to
review
how
the
monies
that
were
already
appropriated
by
the
council,
mainly
on
june
30th,
um
2021
how
those
are
being
used.
I
Many
counselors
that
voice
support
for
significant
further
funds
going
to
housing,
both
affordable
rental
and
home
ownership.
um
So
I
think
this
is
an
area
where
we're
proud
of
the
council
action
last
year
um
and
uh
we
want
to-
and
I
know,
mr
president,
um
that
you
you
want
us
to
sort
of
step
quickly
and
strenuously
into
making
sure
that
we're
getting
these
dollars
out
where
they
can
have
the
most
impact
on
our
residents
in
boston.
A
J
J
uh
Now
that
we're
operating
under
a
new
charter,
and
this
council
holds
budgetary
powers
together
with
the
mayor
for
the
first
time,
I
look
forward
to
our
ongoing
partnership
with
the
administration
to
ensure
recovery
relief
funds
are
appropriately
appropriated
in
the
most
efficient
and
equitable
way.
So,
thank
you.
I
look
forward
to
this
conversation.
A
A
I
I
I
And
you
know,
and
we're
thinking
here
about
everything
from
installing
green
infrastructure
to
urban
forestry,
um
to
building
retrofitting
and,
like
I
said
in
philly,
they've,
really
laid
out
a
pretty
model
program.
That's
having
a
lot
of
success
and
operating
a
pretty
large
scale.
So
we
think
it
makes
sense
to
sort
of
do
an
initial
pilot
in
boston.
I
A
Would
any
other
council
like
to
um
please
raise
your
hand
if
you'd
like
to
sponsor
this?
um
To
add
your
name?
Please
add:
madame
corporate
counselor,
brayden
council,
rel,
council
of
royal
council
lara
councillor,
anderson
council,
murphy,
council,
mejia,
council
baker,
council
lujan,
council
of
flaherty
ian
the
chair
as
well.
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
president.
um
The
internet
is
rapidly
becoming
as
essential
of
public
utility
as
water
and
sewer.
Yet
too
many
bostonians
find
themselves
locked
out
of
internet
service
or
um
stuck
with
very
second
rate
uh
internet
service,
which
then
you
know,
as
we've
seen
in
the
pandemic,
can
mean
being
locked
out
of
school
public
meetings
like
this
critical
information
and
key
services,
and
I
think
often
folks,
don't
realize
that,
in
fact,
we
do
not
regulate
internet
broadband
in
this
country.
I
Like
a
utility
like
something
that
everybody
needs,
we
continue
to
regulate
it
much
more
like
an
amenity,
something
that
should
be
provided
to
people
who
can
pay,
and
I
think,
we've
just
seen
the
reality
that
that
doesn't
reflect
the
world
as
we
live
in
today.
So
I'm
a
big
believer
that
the
city
of
boston
should
be
using
the
public
right-of-way
to
build
out
even
more
robust
municipal
broadband
network
to
secure,
affordable
and
high
quality
internet
access
for
all
bostonians.
I
I
think
this
is
a
this
is
a
sort
of
century
scale
thing
that
we
need
to
do,
and
I
think
that
much
like
our
predecessors
discovered
that
private
sewers
and
private
train
lines
weren't
going
to
work
and
realize
they
really
needed
to
be
publicly
supported
systems
with
public
access.
I
think
we're
going
to
need
to
do
the
same
for
the
internet.
Instead,
what
we've
traditionally
done
is
partnered
with
our
you
know,
with
the
large
providers,
the
handful
of
large
providers,
but
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
I
So
I'm
very
interested
in
us
expanding
the
existing
bonet
work
to
lay
fiber
connections
beyond
municipal
buildings,
which
we've
done
recently
and
the
bha
which
we've
done
from
those
hubs
out
to
actual
households
and,
I
think,
um
experimenting
with
actually
providing
internet
to
at
the
household
levels.
Again,
not
just
the
community
facilities
of
the
public
housing
developments
but
to
the
actual
households
would
be
a
really
great
way
to
pilot
this,
and
I
was
proud
to
partner
with
councillor
mejia
in
advocating
for
a
municipal
broadband
study
to
be
put
in
the
budget
last
last
budget
season.
I
But
I
think
that
we
need
to
check
in
on
sort
of
what
that
turned
into
rfp
wise
and
how
we
really
move
forward
on
opening
up
this
conversation
and
pushing
for
a
re-imagining
of
this
vital
public
service.
um
So
looking
forward
to
that
and
grateful
to
both
my
co-sponsors,
counselor,
great
and
mejia,
and
to
you,
mr
president,
um
who
uh
really
pushed
uh
last
night
last
session
on
digital
equity-
um
and
I
know,
is
a
big
advocate
for
this.
So
thank
you.
A
H
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
to
councillor
bach
and
for
adding
us
as
an
original
co-sponsor.
We
saw
throughout
the
pandemic
how
just
how
important
it
is
to
have
stable,
reliable
internet
connection
um
since
the
pandemic
began.
Our
office
has
worked
to
ensure
that
information
justice
reaches
all
communities
across
the
city.
We
secured
budget
funding
to
create
a
study
to
explore
how
not
whether
but
how
the
city
can
implement
municipal
broadband,
but
we
know
that
there's
still
so
much
more.
H
This
is
an
equity
issue
at
the
very
heart
and
as
a
city,
we
should
be
moving
with
urgency
to
make
sure
that
everyone
is
able
to
have
reliable
internet
access
as
a
right,
not
a
privilege,
and
I
look
forward
to
this
conversation
and
to
working
alongside
councilor,
bach
and
breeding
on
this
issue.
Thank
you.
A
J
J
We
work
with
a
lot
of
our
constituents
or
elders.
Increasingly,
um
um
access
to
medical
care,
telehealth
is
is
conducted
on
on
the
internet
and
um
and
our
schools
uh
are
using
remote
learning
to
a
great,
much
greater
extent,
our
students
and
second
to
third
level.
Education
are
using
uh
the
internet
for
classes
as
well.
We
have
families
who
are
trying
to
access
their
classes
with
two
or
three
uh
students,
um
you
sharing
the
the
family's
uh
iphone
um
cell
phone,
and
this
is
not
appropriate.
J
A
I
will
speak
very
briefly.
This
is
a
critical
issue
facing
facing
this:
the
city,
especially
residents
in
public
housing
as
well
in
bha
housing.
They
don't
have
the
same
access
to
digital
access
as
as
other
residents,
and
this
is
an
issue
of
equity,
but
it's
also
an
issue
of
fairness
and
making
sure
that
our
public
housing
residents
have
the
same
equal
access
to
uh
the
internet
as
any
other
neighborhood.
A
A
A
A
A
B
A
A
A
E
H
Thank
you,
mr
president,
um
and
this
is
basically
a
refile
from
our
office
um
first
hearing
order
we
held
in
here
on
this
uh
back
in
december,
and
we
wow
many
many
many.
It
feels
like
forever
ago
um
and
we've
been
working
with
amazing
um
teams
of
advocates
ever
since
um
we
plan
to
file
something
in
addition
to
this
in
the
near
future,
but
in
the
meantime
we're
just
we
follow
this
docket.
Thank
you.
A
A
B
A
H
H
H
We
know
that
this
is
an
issue
that
uh
is,
is
you
know,
concerning
safety,
but
also
the
social
and
emotional
well-being
of
students
who
have
been
sexually
harassed
and
assaulted
in
their
schools,
um
and
this
is
an
important
issue
to
our
office
and
we're
incredibly
grateful
for
councillor
warrell's
um
leadership
and
and
stepping
in
to
help
us
um
shepherd
this
conversation
along
as
someone
who
deeply
cares
about
the
fossil
public
schools,
there's
an
honor
to
work
alongside
his
office
to
highlight
the
voices
of
the
young
people
who
have
been
impacted
by
this.
So
thank
you.
H
H
So
what
we
decided
to
do
is
um
have
an
opportunity
to
work
with
the
education
advocates
from
all
backgrounds,
united
on
the
goal
of
ensuring
that
our
community
is
leading
the
voices
on
all
things
that
deal
with
education,
and
we
need
to
hear
from
our
local
and
state
officials
in
regards
to
what
the
plan
is
moving
forward
to
ensure
that
we're
not
just
bringing
about
change
for
the
sake
of
change,
I
look
forward
um
to
learning
and
working
alongside
others
on
this
topic.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
H
As
many
of
you
know,
back
in
december,
we
learned
that
the
boston
police
department
used
funds
obtained
through
civil
asset
furniture
to
purchase
surveillance
equipment
without
our
knowledge
as
a
city
council,
it
is
unaccept
unacceptable
that
we
are
getting
more
information
about
what
our
police
department
is
doing
from
the
news
than
we
are
from
our
own
city.
This
is
an
issue
of
government,
accountability
and
transparency.
H
H
A
K
Thank
you,
mr
president.
Thank
you
councillor
mejia.
uh
This
is
something
that
I
believe
is
a
part
of
course
of
duty
with
what
we've
already
sort
of
done
on
the
council
in
the
last
term.
In
terms
of
surveillance
oversight,
I
do
believe
that
protecting
civil
liberties
and
protecting
our
communities
are
not
mutually
exclusive
and
doing
so
is
dependent
on
our
ability
to
ensure
transparency
and
accountability.
K
uh
These
things
are
part
of
a
social
contract.
We
socially
agree
to
be
police,
but
I
think
that
the
way
that
we
do,
that
is
by
ensuring
that,
when
we're
the
methods
that
are
used
and
how
we
use
them
are
transparent
uh
to
the
public
and
that
there's
public
buy-in
in
those
ways
in
which
they
decide
to
engage
with
our
communities.
K
A
J
And
thank
you,
mr
president.
I
will
thank
you
and
for
taking
these
two
dockets
together.
uh
As
many
of
you
know,
the
jackson
man
um
campus
in
in
union
square
in
allston
uh
is
a
location
of
the
jackson,
man
elementary
school,
the
horace
mann
school
for
the
deaf
and
hard
of
hearing,
and
also
the
site
of
our
only
bcyf
community
center
in
austin
brighton,
the
building
has
fallen
into
extensive
disrepair
and
the
site
hosting
the
jackson.
J
Man
um
k
through
8th
school
and
the
school
for
the
deaf
will
be
closed
um
in
the
summer
of
2022
this
summer.
The
jackson
man
elementary
school
will
not
exist
any
longer
after
this
summer,
and
then
the
harassment
school
for
the
deaf
will
remain
on
that
site
for
another
year
um
and
it's
unclear
what
arrangements
have
been
made
for
relocation
of
the
bcyf.
J
The
importance
of
these
schools
cannot
be
overstated.
Both
schools
serve
populations
of
high
needs
students,
including
primarily
the
students
on
the
autism
spectrum
and
multilingual,
sheltered
english
instruction
programs
at
the
jackson,
man
and
the
deaf
community's
unique
needs
are
served
within
the
horace
mann
school
for
the
deaf.
J
Boston
university
has
an
educational
program
that
specializes
in
deaf
education,
and
also
the
close
proximity
of
um
deaf
inc
in
union
square
is
another
part
of
the
ecosystem
that
supports
the
deaf
community
and
the
deaf
families
with
students
who
are
deaf
in
austin
brighton.
um
So
it's
really
critically
important
that
in
the
future,
as
we
plan
the
way
forward
that
these
uh
that
we
consider
uh
the
plans
to
locate
the
horace
mann
school
for
the
deaf
in
austin
brighton
and
going
forward
in
the
short
term.
J
um
There's
arrangements
been
made
to
locate
um
the
harassment
school
for
the
deaf
temporarily
in
the
edwards
school
in
in
charlestown,
beginning
at
the
beginning
of
the
school
year
of
2024.
I
think,
um
but
and
and
we
have
applied
for
the
boston
and
the
massachusetts
school
building
authority.
For
for
this
to
be
for
the
rebuild
of
the
horace
mans
of
the
deaf
to
be
considered
for
funding
um
again.
J
These
are
very
critical
issues
and
I
think
it's
really
important
to
have
a
more
extensive
conversation
about
the
future
of
these
school
communities
at
the
horace
mann
and
the
jackson.
Man,
then,
on
to
the
bcyf
community
center,
the
jackson,
man,
consul
facility
also
houses
a
bcyf
community
center,
the
jackson
man
community
center,
and
it
will
be
greatly
impacted
again.
We
do
not
have
any
idea
where
this
community
center
will
be
relocated
in
on
a
temporary
basis
or
what
the
plans
are
for
rebuilding
the
community
center.
A
A
This
school,
the
horace
mann
school,
supports
students
across
boston
in
greater
boston
and
we're
going
into
the
budget
season.
Now
we
must
all
work
together
to
make
sure
that
our
students
with
disabilities
have
the
same
rights
and
access
and
services
as
any
other
student.
So
you
know
this
is
a
question
of
of
respect
and
dignity
for
our
students
with
disabilities
as
well.
The
civil
rights
issue.
A
F
B
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
president,
and
may
I
ask
um
do
the
same
councils
want
to
vote
on
docket
0202
for
the
bcyf
piece?
Are
they
the
same
that
are
are
going
to
support
that
it
looks
like
I'm
getting
a
lot
of
nodding
heads.
So
I
guess
they
are
okay,
great,
so
that
would
be
councillor
arroyo,
council
baker,
council
block
council,
braden's,
sponsor
counselor
fernandez,
anderson
council,
flaherty,
uh
council,
la
lara
council,
louis
jean
councillor,
mejia,
council,
murphy,
council,
warrell
and
council
flynn.
I
I
believe
you
spoke
on
it.
So
yes,.
A
B
J
J
However,
I
believe
this
order
is
necessary
because
the
census
bureau
did
not
begin
formally
accepting
uh
the
uh
client
question
resolution
program
requests
from
local
government
units
until
january
of
3rd
2022
this
year.
This
order
seeks
to
ensure
that
the
city
follows
through
informally,
initiating
a
review
of
our
census
current.
J
This
official
review
process
is
necessary,
giving
the
challenges
of
the
2020
census
at
the
outset
of
the
pandemic,
with
census
day
beginning
on
april
1st
2020,
just
two
weeks
after
the
city
was
shut
down.
These
challenges
impacted
the
accuracy
of
counting
underserved
communities,
in
particular
renters
recent
immigrants
and
college
students
and
those
in
correctional
facilities.
J
Austin
brighton,
in
particular
would
be
distinctly
impacted
by
an
uncorrected
under
under
account,
as
our
residents
include
large
populations,
who
are
renters
college
and
postgraduate
students
and
foreign-born
and
recent
immigrants,
the
bpda's
own
census.
Data
analysis
suggested
that
austin's
population
fell
by
5.9
percent,
with
a
40
percent
decline
in
the
group
quarter.
Population
suggesting
that
the
college
dorm
population
in
often
may
not
have
been
correctly
content
in
the
wake
of
the
pandemic
evacuation
as
current
and
accurate
census.
J
Current
is
instrumental
in
ensuring
that
federal
funding
for
education,
healthcare,
housing
and
transportation,
food
and
nutrition
and
other
social
services
and
our
own
study,
planning
and
services
reflect
the
full
extent
of
our
residents
needs
in
order
to
ensure
that
almost
all
of
our
boston
communities
are
counted
and
that
the
boston
census
contest
accurately
reflects
uh
our
residents.
The
city
of
boston
must
submit
account
question
resolution
operation
case
to
the
u.s
census
bureau,
and
for
this
reason
I
seek
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
this
order
today.
J
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Council
braden.
um
I
know
council
braden
is
seeking
to
suspend
and
pass
that
we
also
have
the
option
of
putting
it
in
the
committee
on
city
services
in
innovative
technology,
but
I
think
out
of
out
of
respect
for
council
braden
and
for
the
importance
of
this
this
this
hearing
order
um
resolution.
A
B
B
A
B
F
A
I
Thank
you.
um
Sorry.
This
one
is
out
of
order,
but
rounding
out
uh
my
housing
policy
um
and
public
good
filings
today.
um
This
one
is
uh
about
continuing
to
focus
our
work
on
first
january,
um
birth
time.
Sorry,
I
think
I
hear
somebody
else
all
right,
I'm
just
gonna,
um
so
this
is
about
really
focusing
on
the
city's
work
for
first
time
home
buyers
and
especially
first
generation
home
buyers
in
boston.
I
um
Because
again,
it
is
where
we
can
really
make
the
biggest
difference
on
the
racial
wealth
gap,
um
and
I'm
excited
about
that
work
and
about
the
opportunity
to
expand
that
work
on
the
city's
behalf
um
and
really
grateful
uh
to
both
counselor
braden
and
councillor
louis
jen
for
joining
me
today.
I
know
that
the
latter
won't
be
speaking,
but
I
actually
first
met
her
advocating
for
exactly
this
for
first
generation
home
buyer
programs
and
funding
for
them
to
be
expanded
in
the
city
of
boston.
I
We've
just
started
to
really
figure
out
how
to
support
cooperative
housing
more
robustly
when
we
think
about
our
home
buyer
tools
um
and-
uh
and
I
would
love
to
see
us-
be
creating
some
new,
affordable
home
ownership
units.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
discussing
and
working
on
moving
forward
on
these
and
uh
grateful
um
to
the
council
for
your
support.
A
J
Home
buyers,
especially,
is
one
of
the
most
effective
ways
to
directly
target
the
racial
wealth
gap
in
boston.
And
we
cannot
continue
to
be
a
city
where
the
net
worth
of
white
households
is
247
500
and
only
808
dollars
for
black
households.
And
again
it's
the
home
ownership
aspect
of
this
situation
that
is
so
critically
important.
J
J
Our
my
office
has
been
able
to
achieve
commitments
from
proposed
developments
to
shift
from
high
ami
ami
rents
to
home
ownership
units
at
affordable
levels
that
are
attainable
for
our
veterans,
but
sadly,
the
numbers
of
these
actual
units
are
pretty
was
pretty
limited.
However,
we've
also
heard
from
first
generation
homeowners
who
have
attained
their
homes
through
city
programs
and
are
experiencing
difficulty
with
unexpected,
excessive
home
maintenance
costs
and
managing
maintenance
funds
through
homeowner
associations
and
as
we
work
to
increase,
funding
and
support
for
first-generation
home
owners
to
attain
their
homes.
J
In
the
first
place,
we
must
also
consider
technical
assistance
and
education
available
from
the
city
and
our
community
partners
who
offer
first-time
homeowner
homebuyer
courses.
It's
one
thing
buying
your
home
is
another
thing,
maintaining
it
and
ensuring
your
your
stability
in
the
longer
term
as
well.
We
must
open
conversations
and
review
programs
for
home
buyer
systems
to
move
towards
a
city
where
more
of
us
can
actually
call
home.
So
thank
you
very
much,
counselor
bach,
for
this
initiative
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
with
this
work.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
A
I
Sorry,
mr
president,
if
I
could
just
make
a
very
brief
addition
I'll,
I
would
feel
remiss
not
to
mention
I
mentioned
the
great
work
of
the
massachusetts,
affordable
housing
alliance.
um
I
also
just
wanted
to
highlight
in
terms
of
recent
progress
on
all
this,
that
actually
affordable.
Homeownership
was
a
big
part
of
the
reason
that
the
greater
boston
interfaith
organization
got
involved
in
organizing
for
community
preservation
act,
legislation
for
the
for
the
um
referendum
in
2016.
I
uh
and
after
it
passed
um
they
and
a
number
of
other
allies
advocated
for
us
to
launch
the
one
oneplus
boston
program.
So
just
want
to
note
for
counselors
who
are
here
that
the
city's
expanded
support
for
affordable
home
ownership
has
really
accelerated
over
the
last
few
years,
and
I
just
I
would
be
remiss
not
to
mention
all
the
organizing
work
that
gbio,
along
with
maha,
has
put
into
that.
So
thank
you.
Mr
president,
uh
thanks
for
your
indulgence.
A
A
A
B
B
Thank
you
motion
of
counsel
brayden,
be
it
moved
that
the
boston
city
council
rules
for
municipal
year
2022
2023
be
amended
as
followed
by
inserting
the
following
after
the
second
sentence.
In
the
first
paragraph
of
rule-
and
it
reads,
communication
shall
be
filed
with
the
city
clerk
detailing
the
named
chairs,
vice
chairs
and
members
who
are
assigned
and
authorized
to
vote
on
matters
in
each
committee.
B
C
J
Thank
you,
mr
president.
uh
It's
really
just
a
matter
of
having
some
clarity
about
um
and
um
and
transparency
with
regard
to
our
committees.
Right
now,
we
we
have
suspended
and
passed
different
dockets
this
afternoon
and
allocated
them
to
committees.
We
have
uh
we've
suspended
in
past
and
we
have
admit
allocations
to
committees,
and
uh
the
body
uh
is
not
really
clear
on
who
who
those
committees
are?
Who
are
the
the
chairs?
Who
are
the
vice
chairs
and
who
the
members
of
those
committees
are?
B
B
B
A
P
My
end,
sorry,
then
it's
just
on
my
end,
um
so
just
to
be
just
to
make
sure
I'm
clear
earlier
in
today's
session.
You
had
mentioned
that
while
there
could
be
a
vote
today
and
yes,
I
understand
that
there'll
be
some
sort
of.
I
think
the
word
was
transparency
about
what
and
who
the
city,
committees
or
council
committees
would
be.
P
A
P
My
my
apologies,
madam
clerk,
I
just
I
recall
earlier
in
the
session
counselor
or
president
flynn
had
mentioned
that
um
the
uh
the
rules,
while
they
could
be
voted
on
today.
It
doesn't
prevent
further
discussion
about
them,
further
amendments
that
they
could
go
to
the
rules
committee
and
even
with
its
amendment,
adding
in
the
certain
amount
of
transparency
of
who's
getting
what
and
when
it
doesn't
preclude
that
future
conversation.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
was
still
your
understanding
and
president
flynn's
as
well.
B
That
is
as
as
you
know,
um
we
cannot
have
the
same.
Matters
referred
more
than
once
so
when
something
gets
filed
and
action
is
taken
on
it,
it
can't
be
filed
in
the
same
year,
but
what
is
being
proposed
is
just
an
amendment
to
the
approved
minutes
and
I
believe
president
flynn
had
made
it
clear
that
you
know
at
any
point
in
time
people
can
bring
to
the
floor
amendments
for
the
rules,
which
would
then
go
to
the
rules.
Committee.
A
A
B
J
A
H
I
always
am
just
curious
about
these
little
surprises
that
pop
up
onto
our
council
floor,
and
I
just
want
to
be
really
clear
about
what
is
the
discussion
that
we're
having
right
now
um
it
seems
like
there
is
some
question
and
I
need
to
get
a
better
sense
that
we
are
moving
forward
with
the
motion
that
is
going
to
give
us
as
counselors
an
opportunity
to
rebuttal
whether
or
not
people
got
assigned
what
committees,
because
I'm
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
What
are
we
voting
on.
J
Counselor
uh
mejia,
the
the
sole
purpose
of
my
request,
is
that
we
would
put
out
that
that
we
would
be
furnished
with
a
list
of
our
committee
assignments,
who's,
the
chair,
who's,
the
vice
chair
and
who
the
members
of
the
committees
are
we're
already
this
afternoon
voting
allocating
assigning
dockets
to
committees.
We
are
suspending
and
passing,
um
and
we
don't
have
any
idea
who
we
don't
have.
H
Yeah,
so
I'm
just
curious
because
I
went
through
this
in
2020,
and
this
was
not
a
conversation
that
we
had
so
I'm
just
curious.
What
is
different
between
the
the
rules
that
we
voted
on
the
last
time
now
fast
forward
to
2022?
What
is
the
discrepancy
here
so
that
I
can
have
a
better
sense
of
the
discussion
that
we're
having.
A
Yeah
councilman
here
um
I
think,
that's
a
good
question
and
and
the
reason
you're
right
during
2020,
we
didn't
have
conversations
back
and
forth
about
committee
chairs
about
vice
chair
or
chair.
um
I
chose
as
the
incoming
president
to
engage
my
colleagues,
especially
knowing
that
we
had
a
large
group
of
new
colleagues.
A
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
were
comfortable
with
their
with
their
new
committee
assignments,
so
I
did
try
to
be
as
engaging
and
try
to
have
as
many
conversations
as
I
could
with
counselors,
especially
new
counselors,
um
and
tried
to
be
as
fair
as
as
I
could.
But
but
you
are
right
generally,
there
is
no
discussion
back
and
forth
between
the
the
president
and
the
the
councils
on
what
committee
you
get
there's
no
negotiation.
J
A
Yes,
this
will
be
a
public
record,
it'll
be
a
public
document,
it
will
be,
it
will
be
on
our
home
page
and
constituents
will
will
be
able
to
read
it
and
we'll
be
able
to
call
us
up
on
and
know
exactly
who
the
chair
is
with.
The
vice
chair
is
who
the
members
are,
and
then
it's
our
obligation
to
respond
to
constituents.
B
um
If,
if
I
may
just
add
a
little
piece
to
this
um
and
I'm
not
trying
to
be
generous,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
people
are
aware
that
we
are
taking
you
know
for
all
you
future
presidents
out
there,
we
we
hope
we're
gonna
have
a
lot
of
them.
um
uh
You
know
each
year
there
each
each
election.
We,
the
council,
um
elects
a
president
for
two
year
period
and
it
is
the
under
the
purview
of
um
the
president
to
create
or
change
uh
committees.
B
B
The
actual
assignments
um
are
always
made
public.
um
Honestly,
generally,
you
know
prior
to
um
adopting
the
minutes.
They
usually
are
known
for
whatever
reason
we're
in
this
situation
and
what
I
I
would
just
say
is
you
know
to
take
um
proprietary
action
from
the
president
as
to
who
he
appoints
or
who
she
appoints.
B
Is
I
I
don't
know
I
I
just
I
just
want
to
raise
that
issue.
um
This
has
never
been
included
in
the
rules
because
it
is
under
the
sole
discretion
of
the
president.
Now
you
may
still
decide
to
do
it.
That's
fine!
I'm
I'm
not
taking
sides
here,
I'm
just
pointing
out
to
you
that
um
one
is
a
function
of
how
this
council
operates.
B
B
E
A
Thank
you,
madam
madam
clerk.
Madam
clerk,
um
I
think
I
I
know
people
still
have
their
hands
raised.
Let
me
let
me
call
on
councilman
here.
I
do
want
to
make
sure
anyone
that
wants
to
speak
on
this
matter
is
heard.
Council
mejia
wants
to
be
heard,
counsel
of
clarity
as
well,
and
I
want
I'll
call
on
whoever
else
wants
to
um
add
their
input
on
this.
But
at
this
time
let
me
ask
councilman
here
you
have
the
flaw.
H
Thank
you,
president
um
flynn.
I
just
want
to
be
clear,
and
I
really
do
appreciate
this
conversation,
because
I
know
that
a
lot
of
people
who
are
tuning
in
and
probably
learning
right
about
how
how
government
works
and
how
sometimes
you
know
we
we
go
back
and
forth
on
certain
things,
and
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
bring
our
people
along
in
these
conversations.
H
H
I
I
I
personally
do
have
some
concerns
about
the
the
the
nature
of
the
the
just
how
we
even
got
here,
but
I
will
say
that
in
good
faith,
right,
I'm
going
to
assume
that
my
that
president
flynn,
the
discussions
that
he's
had
with
all
of
these
folks
here
all
of
my
colleagues
that
he's
going
to
honor
those
conversations
right
and
that
we're
going
to
be
assigned
the
committees
that
we
have
been
um
speaking
on
right.
So
I
guess
to
counselor
raiden's
point.
H
There
is
seems
to
me
there
might
be
some
uncertainty
and
the
devils
are
on
the
details
and
there's
some
some
questions
that
are
leading
us
to
believe.
And
to
doubt
you
know
what
that
looks
like,
and
I
just
want
to
just
say
that
in
good
faith,
you
know
I'm
supporting
moving
forward
and
and
moving
forward
with
um
with
just
moving
on
with
these
rules,
with
the
understanding
that
the
conversations
that
I've
had
and
the
commitments
that
have
been
made
to
me
are
going
to
be
honored.
H
E
A
uh
I
guess
they
um
offer
of
a
suggestion,
or
maybe
even
a
friendly
amendment,
that
just
given
the
hour
it's
almost
3
30.
We
probably
would
have
wrapped
up
session
had
we
not
been
interrupted
and
had
to
shift
to
zoom
that
doesn't
make
any
sense
to
take
a
brief
recess,
circulate
or
distribute
the
committee
assignments
and
then
uh
rejoin
rejoin
just
to
adjourn
the
hearing
just
again,
just
to
suggest
a
friendly
amendment
given
the
hour
under
normal
circumstances,
we
probably
would
have
already
had
that
document.
A
J
B
C
K
K
J
Thank
you.
um
I'd
I'd
just
like
to
uh
reiterate
that
this
um
this
addition
to
the
the
rules
in
no
way
takes
away
um
your
authority
to
assign
committees
as
as
you
see
fit.
Mr
president,
uh
it's
really
just
a
matter
of
communication
and
addic,
adding
um
ensuring
that
the
committee
assignments
are
put
into
the
public
record
and
that
we
get
the
assignment
that
we
understand
the
full
extent
of
the
assignments
uh
in
a
timely
manner
going
forward.
Thank
you.

Councilman
murphy,
yes
and
council
of
warrell.
Yes,
it's
a
warrior.
Yes,
mr
president,
um
the
late
file
offered
by
councillor
braden
has
passed
unanimously
um
and
I
I
would
just
add,
um
I
think,
as
as
counselor
um
braden
indicated,
this
is
more
for
a
timeline
than
a
chain.
If
I'm,
if
I'm
not,
I
hope
I'm
not
over
overstepping,
but
so
um
I
guess
I
would
as
clerk
ask
one
question:
does
this
change
the
vote
on
the
committees?
B
I
Mr
president,
as
a
point
of
order,
I
would
say
my
understanding
at
least
what
we
just
voted
on
was
that
obviously
the
rules
were
properly
adopted
uh
at
the
start
of
the
meeting
that
they're
fully
in
in
place
and
that
and
and
council
braden
did
not
propose
reconsideration.
She
merely
proposed
an
amendment
on
the
rules,
um
so
I
think
that
the
rules
now
just
stand
amended.

Mr

the
consent
agenda
has
been
passed
unanimously.
A
K
K
K
I
would
always
say:
that's
my
cousin,
and
so
we
would
have
conversations
about
that,
uh
and
so
uh
it's
sort
of
been
a
fascinating
thing
to
have
sort
of
how
you
dovetailed
into
my
life
over
time,
but
you've
been
a
fantastic
of
just
an
absolute
fantastic
clerk
uh
and
counselor,
and
so,
as
you
take
these
next
steps,
much
much
uh
joy
and
happiness.
I
wish
for
you
and
I
hope
that
this
retirement,
I
know,
you've
been
busy
and
you're
sort
of
somebody's
always
been
busy.
So
hopefully,
this
retirement
isn't
something
uh
that
you
dislike.
K
A
A
N
N
N
Sorry,
you
were
the
second
woman
to
be
elected,
as
the
council
president
and
you
held
that
position
for
two
terms
and
then
took
this
role
on
as
city
clerk
and
I'm
proud
of
you
and
the
decades
of
service
you've.
Given
the
people
of
austin,
your
departure
will
leave
a
hole
in
the
council,
your
smile
and
willingness
to
help
all
of
the
counselors
so
that
we
do
our
job
not
only
correctly
but
also
effectively,
will
be
missed.
N
N
I
know
you
will
keep
yourself
busy
with
many
more
meaningful
things,
but
you
will
never
regret
this
extra
time.
You
have
with
him
and
your
family,
your
daughter,
caitlin
and
her
husband,
reed,
your
son
matt
and
his
wife
kerry
and,
of
course,
your
beautiful
grandchildren,
delaney
declan
and
lee
all
adore
you
and
must
be
very
excited
that
they
will
have
more
time
with
you
I'll
end
with
saying
that
I'll
miss
having
this
little
small
window
into
your
personal
life.
By
seeing
you
drop
off
your
grandson
declan
at
daycare
downstairs
my
window
here.
N

Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
I
obviously
want
to
extend
uh
my
best
wishes
to
our
clerk
served
with
her
longer
than
anyone.
uh
She
deserves
uh
this
much
needed
uh
break
in
the
action
today.
She
earned
her
retirement
quite
frankly,
but
um
for
someone
that
has
given
uh
their
life
uh
frankly
to
helping
others
constituents
in
her
in
her
district,
of
course,
but
also
across
the
city
uh
in
her
leadership
role
that
she
played
here
on
the
city
council
for
the
many
years
of
kind
words
support
thoughtful
remembrances.
E
E
Maureen
has
a
reputation
of
being
a
utility
infielder,
and
when
we
served
together,
you
would
do
whatever
it
took
to
make
sure
that
you
got
it
done,
and
you
were
so
helpful
to
the
folks
in
your
district.
So
uh
I'm
so
proud
to
to
call
you
a
uh
a
friend
and
a
former
colleague,
uh
but
uh
you
absolutely
missed,
but
I
know
that
um
you'll
be
spending
some
uh
much
deserved
time.
You
larry,
obviously
uh
caitlin
matt
and
the
grandkids
uh
they're
now
finally
uh
going
to
get
more
of
you
moefini.
E
Don't
hesitate
to
pick
up
the
phone
because,
as
I
mentioned
to
former
colleagues,
your
phone
is
going
to
continue
to
ring
you're
going
to
be
well
retired
and
people
are
still
going
to
call
you
uh
to
pitch
it
to
to
marry
them
or
to
run
out
the
ground
ball
on
a
constituent
service,
and
you
have
so
many
friends
uh
me
included.
Obviously
they're
willing,
ready
and
able
to
help
you
out.
So
I
love
you
and
I
wish
you
the
very
best
in
retirement.
E
A
P
P
It's
not
just
an
orientation
in
the
way
things
work,
it's
an
orientation
to
public
service
and
dedication
to
this
particular
body,
and
that's
something
that
I
hope
that
everyone
will
inherit
that
there's
a
real
loyalty
to
the
body
to
the
city
council,
not
just
uh
to
city
government,
not
just
to
your
districts
or
out
large
constituent
services,
but
to
this
precious
institution
and
maureen.
You
have
demonstrated
your
absolute
complete
and
total
loyalty
to
this
precious
institution
and
has
stood
by
me,
and
I
noticed
it
by
other
counselors.
P
B
P
I'm
a
little
more
than
average,
but
man
you
are,
since
you
were
so
great
and
above
average
you
were
able
to
not
only
provide
a
guiding
hand,
a
calming
voice,
but
also
the
encouraging
whisper
voice.
Like
you
got
this,
you
can
keep
going,
I'm
proud
of
you
and
it
mattered.
So
much
that
it
came
from
you.
P
I
know
uh
you
know
with
you
and
diane
monica
and
peggy,
and
al
and
rosario
was
all
of
these
women.
um
So
many
of
us
as
women
on
the
city
council.
We
stand
on
your
shoulders
and
there's
so
many
things
that
were
able
to
do
and
conversations
were
able
to
have
with
complete
and
total
ease
that
that
just
weren't
happening
not
because
you
didn't
think
of
it,
but
because
you
had
a
different
millstone
to
push
up
a
steeper
hill.
So
I
thank
you
for
your
service.
P
I
will
absolutely
use
your
cell
phone
I'll,
be
calling
you
up
and
thanking
you
so
much
for
your
support,
um
as,
as
I
know,
you'll
always
stay
involved,
because
that's
what
public
servants
do
you
serve
the
public?
No
matter
your
title
and
it's
just
now,
you
just
won't
get
paid
for
it,
but
in
any
event,
thank
you
so
much
yeah.
I
know
I
know
you're
gonna,
you're,
never
retirement
doesn't
mean
you
work
for
free,
I'm
sorry
to
break
it
to
you,
but
um
my
dear
friend
I
will
I
will
deeply
miss
you.
A
A
I
I
I
had
seen
in
print
in
the
papers
and
um
over
the
last
two
years,
you've
just
been
such
a
level
head
and
a
source
of
counsel
and
historical
perspective,
like
everyone's
been
saying
to
to
me
and
to
everybody
else,
and-
um
and
I
just
often
think
a
lot
about
your
poise
in
public
you're
that
great
counselor
behind
the
scenes,
but
also
your
poise
in
public.
um
My
parents
were
commenting
on
it
at
our
swearing-in.
I
think
we
saw
it
again
today.
um
It's
been
a
couple
of
years.
I
I
And
I
just
think
there's
a
a
great
deal
of
grace
in
the
way
that
you
approach
our
questions
and
and
provide
that
institutional
knowledge
to
us
and-
um
and
I
think
we
know
a
lot
about
people
from
how
they
act
under
pressure
uh
and
and
you
just
again
and
again
under
pressure.
You
shine
um
it.
And
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
um
is
that
you
know
the
other
way.
I
I
think
one
of
the
other
ways
that
you
know
a
lot
about
people
is
from
their
children
um
and
I'm
sorry
that
caitlyn's
not
physically
in
the
chamber
to
be
embarrassed.
But
um
it
was
also
her
last
day
on
the
on
our
at
our
last
meeting,
our
in
on
the
third
and
I
I
can't
quite
believe
that
um
that
you
and
she
are
together
hitting
us
with
the
departures
of
I
think,
almost
combined
50
years
of
city
hall
service.
A
F
You
thank
you,
mr
chair
um
maureen.
I
had
the
um
the
task
of
following
you
in
district
three.
You
were
always
someone
that
was
there
for
us
in
district
three
in
your
role,
um
you've
been
a
great
mentor
to
me.
You've
been
a
great
friend
to
me
and
and
everybody
before
and
then
after
me,
we'll
we'll
say
the
same
thing,
your
fairness,
your
willingness
to
work
with
us,
your
willingness
to
guide
us
um
it's
difficult
to
measure
how
much
that
means.
F
I
know
to
me
and
to
all
all
of
us
here,
um
I'm
only
the
third
person
that
has
represented
this
this
district
and
and
because
I
think
um
we
get
in
it
and
we
care
for
our
district.
The
way
you
kid
for
18
years
and
where
bunzo
before
you
kid,
um
I
just
really
wish
the
best
for
you
maureen.
um
You
know,
larry
has
sat
around
waiting
for
you
quietly
he's
out
in
the
car.
F
When,
when
we
were
going
up
there
and
myself,
you
know
you
were
there
and
you're
a
constant
fixture
in
in
not
just
one
neighborhood,
but
in
all
the
neighborhoods,
and
I
know
and
and
I
hope
that
you
know
how
much
the
people
of
of
dorchester
love
you
care
for
you
and
really
wish
the
best
for
you
and
your
family
and
and
uh
we
were
having
a
conversation,
the
other
night
and
your
little
grandson
was.
It
was
in
the
car
right.
F
I
know
that
those
those
are
the
best
moments
for
you
when
you're
dealing
with
with
uh
with
your
grandson,
your
grandchildren,
so
again
from
from
my
heart
from
my
family
to
your
family.
Thank
you
for
all
the
service
to
the
city
of
boston
and
especially
the
district
three
and
and
and
being
a
mentor,
a
friend
and
and
just
someone
that
we
can.
F
F
One
of
the
best
compliments
is
having
the
person
that
served
before
you
say
that
they
think
that
I've
I've
done
a
good
job
and
and
you've
communicated
to
that
to
me
and
that
that
just
means
the
world
so
all
the
best
in
these
next
couple
years,
for
you
maureen,
I
think
it's
going
to
be.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
great
and,
like
aaron
also
said,
we'll
see
you
around
the
neighborhood
and
we'll
see
you
down.
A
J
Thank
you,
mr
president.
um
uh
You
know
maureen,
I
have
to
say
I
I
don't
know
you
very
well,
it's
it's
the
covent
thing
you
know
we've
had
two
years
of
remote
uh
everything,
um
but
I
have
to
say,
as
a
new
immigrant
coming
to
boston
from
northern
ireland,
um
I
did
home
care
in
neighborhoods
around
boston
and
one
thing
that
I
was
very
impressed
with
the
name.
J
um
I
really
appreciate
um
your
support
and
guidance
um
as
me
for
a
new
city,
councillor,
moving
in
from
being
a
community
activist
to
being
a
a
city.
Councilor
is
a
very
it's
a
different,
different
sort
of
way
of
doing
things,
and
uh
I
really
appreciate
your
wisdom,
your
guidance,
your
grace
and
your
patience
with
um
like
example.
Today
you
know
um
your
patience
with
with
me
and
uh
with
our
learning.
um
As
someone
said,
being
a
new
city,
councilor
is
like
a
a
fire
hydrant.
J
You
know
you're
you're,
it's
all
coming
at
you
and
and
you've
been
a
tremendous
source
to
all
of
us
who
came
into
this
council
as
new
new
members
and
um
and
guided
us
gently
and
carefully
and
wisely
as
we
move
forward.
um
I
really
have
to
uh
thank
you
for
your
your
incredible
what
nearly
35
years
of
service
to
our
city,
it's
no
small
thing
and
and
you're
both
as
a
counselor
as
a
president
of
our
city
council
and
atlanta
city,
a
city
clerk.
So
I
really
appreciate
all
the
wonderful
service.
J
um
I
look
forward
to
maybe
having
a
coffee.
uh
You
know.
Maybe
we
get
together
over
the
course
of
the
year
um
and
and
catch
up
and
get
to
get
to
know
each
other
a
bit
better.
But
I
really
I
want
to
thank
you
from
the
depths
of
my
heart
for
all
your
service
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
um
our
conversations
going
forward,
but
uh
we're
going
to
miss
you
and
I
wish
you
all
the
best,
long
and
healthy
and
happy
retirement.
A
A
H
Girls
happy
okay!
um
Well!
So,
first
of
all
I
did
not
know
that
we
were
saying
goodbye
to
you
today.
I
need
to
catch
up
with
all
my
meeting
notes,
um
but
I
am
so
happy
that
we
are
getting
an
opportunity
to
um
share
our
thanks
um
and
and
and
to
for
me
you
know
I
came
in
in
2020
after
a
traumatic
one.
Vote
win
didn't
have
enough
time
to
even
learn
the
council
rules,
let
alone
execute
them
throughout
the
year,
um
and
you
became
um
such
an
amazing
mentor
and
um
and
guidance
to
me.
H
So
so
thank
you
for
that.
You
know
and
having
come
into
the
council
with
very
little
friends,
um
you
know
I
I
latched
on
to
you
as
someone
who
I
knew
that
I
could
trust,
um
because
navigating
uh
navigating
politics
was
definitely
something
that
I
really
signed
up
to
do,
but
I
had
to
learn
how
to
do
it
really
quick.
um
But
I
knew
that
if
I
ever
had
a
question
about
what
was
at
stake
and
what
did
that
really
mean?
H
You
know,
I
think
I've
grown
a
lot
in
my
two
years
on
the
council
and
a
lot
has
to
do
with
my
ability
to
know
that
I
can
call
you
and
ask
you
very
specific
questions
about
things
that
I
was
uncertain
about.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
seeing
me
for
believing
in
me
for
embracing
me
for
supporting
me
and
my
team
as
we
navigated
our
first
term,
and
I
just
hope
that
I
continue
to
be
able
to
connect
with
you.
H
I
will
also
be
blowing
up
your
phone,
um
so
you
know,
regardless
of
whether
or
not
you
are
in
your
official
capacity.
I
still
will
always
lean
on
you,
because
I
know
that
if
I
have
a
question-
and
it's
not
going
to
be
I'm
going
to
get
the
right
answer-
I'm
not
going
to
get
like
a
political
answer,
which
is
what
oftentimes
we
find
ourselves
debating
about.
H
You
know,
and
I
feel,
like
your
answers,
were
always
the
right-
uh
what
I
needed
to
hear
so
that
I
can
participate
in
ways
that
were
more
in
line
with
my
soul.
So
thank
you
for
everything.
Thank
you
for
for
just
being
you,
and
I
hope
that
I
continue
to
see
you
out
in
these
streets
and
know
that
you
have
four
at-large
city
councilors.
I
am
one
of
those
four
and
you
better
howl
at
me.
If
you
have
a
pothole,
because
I
will
take
care
of
it
um
so
so
thank
you
for
for
everything.
O
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
president
uh
morning,
my
I'm
last
mine
will
be
the
shortest
because
we've
known
each
other
for
the
shortest
period
of
time,
but
maureen
in
the
short
amount
of
time
that
we've
known
each
other
like
the
gusto,
the
energy.
It's
like
you
know
if
we
didn't
know
any
better.
It's
like
you
just
started
um
just
because
of
the
passion
that
is
so
evident
in
everything
we
do.
O
I
am
so
grateful
um
and
I
you
know
for
for
not
only
for
you
and
what
you've
meant
for
the
city,
but
also
for
you
know
when
you
you
don't
know
what
you
don't
know,
so
I'm
constantly
learning
from
every
source
that
I
can
and
you've
been
one
of
them
in
these
past
three
weeks.
So
thank
you.
I
hope
you
enjoy
retirement.
O
A
M
Maiden
speech
uh
would
have
been
maureen
is
so
beautiful,
maureen
you're
such
a
pleasure.
I
like
uh
ruthie.
I
don't
know
you
that
well
right,
so
I
want
to
make
this
as
genuine
as
possible.
um
It's
just
been
such
a
pleasure
you're,
a
beautiful
woman,
your
energy
is
amazing
and
you
were
so
kind
to
me
and
you're
always
smiling
and
so
bright.
um
One
of
the
few
people
that
um
honestly,
everyone
is
so
kind
in
city
hall.
M
B
A
G
G
There's
always
uh
a
warm
um
welcome
and
there's
always
a
smile
on
your
face
and,
um
like
we've
heard
it's
just
always
filled
with
energy
um
and
yesterday,
when
he
was
trending
on
twitter,
I'm
not
sure
if
you
saw
that
there
was
so
many
stories
of
you
know
how
you
impacted
and
um
how
to
impact
and
how
you
impacted
the
city
and
everyone's
life.
So
um
it's
gonna
be
unfortunate
that
I
don't
get
to
have
more
stories
of
my
own
to
tell,
but
I
wish
you
the
best
in
retirement.
Thank
you.
A
R
Thank
you,
president
flynn,
and
this
is
not
my
maiden
speech.
um
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
clerk
feeney
for
all
of
your
years
of
service.
uh
You
have
been
serving
the
city
uh
and
I
am
aging
myself
for
as
long
as
I've
been
alive
so-
and
I
know
that
you
know
hearing
stories
from
other
city
councilors-
that
you've
had
a
great
impact,
not
only
on
the
work
that
we
do
on
the
city
council,
but
on
the
city
of
boston.
R
So
I'm
really
grateful
uh
I've
known
you
as
a
youth
organizer,
both
as
a
city,
councilor
and
the
clerk
you
know
coming
to
city,
to
city,
council
meetings
and
testifying
and
advocating,
um
and
I've
always
remembered
um
your
all
the
things
that
everyone
here
says
about
you.
That
is
one
of
the
things
that's
most
memorable
about
you
and
the
first
time
that
I
got
to
meet.
R
R
R
A
That's
what
william
ray
did
is
bring
a
sport,
especially
to
african-american
youth,
not
here
not
only
just
here
in
boston
but
across
the
country,
and
that's
what
being
an
athlete
is,
is
really
it's
not
about
you,
it's
about
providing
some
leadership
for
the
next
generation.
So
when
you
get
a
chance
to
read
council
warrell's
resolution
on
william
ray
who's,
the
again
the
first
african-american
hockey
player
in
nhl,
it's
a
wonderful
tribute
to
a
wonderful
man
that
has
never
retired
recently
at
the
boston
garden.
A
I
know
many
people
were
over
there
from
boston,
so
brian
just
wanted
to
congratulate
you
on
that.
Well,
written
peace
and
resolution
in
support
of
willie
and
his
contributions
to
um
youth
sports,
especially
um
and
then
my
my
final.
My
final
comment.
um
I
also
would
like
to
acknowledge
the
tremendous
friendship
that
I've
had.
My
family
has
had
really
for
40
40
years,
maybe
maybe
longer
with
with
maureen
and
in
her
her
family.
A
We've
always
had
great
respect
for
you,
maureen,
not
not
just
as
a
city
councilor
or
as
a
clerk,
but
really
really
as
a
friend,
and
you
were
always
there
for
people
when
they
were
down
in
their
luck.
If
someone
lost
a
job,
maureen
and
larry,
were
there
trying
to
help
them
out
if
someone
needed
help
getting
their
kid
in
drug
treatment
programs,
regardless
of
what
neighborhood
maureen?
Was
there
trying
to
help
that
young
person
out?
So
she
never
looked
for
any
credit.
A
She
never
looked
for
any
accolades,
but
that's
what
really
the
the
heart
of
boston
is
all
about.
Is
people
digging
in
and
supporting
their
neighbor,
especially
when
times
are
very
difficult,
and
that's
what
I
think
of
when
I,
when
I
hear
the
name
maureen
feeny
is
being
there
for
others.
So
I'm
proud
to
call
you
a
friend,
maureen
and
uh
we're
going
to
miss
you.
A
G
A
You
had
a
chance
to
say
hello
to
stephen
and
stephen
wanted
to
come
by
today
to
wish
you
best
of
luck
and
and
to
thank
you
maureen,
so
on
behalf
of
my
colleague,
um
stephen
lynch
and
senator
nick
collins,
and
represent
representative
david
beal
and
council
flaherty,
who
already
spoke
in
baker,
but
also
michael
donovan.
We've
always
had
great
respect
for
you
maureen,
so
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you.
A
Is
it
well,
I
don't
think
anyone
has
any
more
announcements
but
we're
going
to
go
into
memorials
um
