Twenty

doc
at
0-865
message.
A
If
you
didn't
understand
all
that
that
I
just
read
the
basic
gist
is
that
the
city
council
authorizes
an
annual
budget
every
year,
but
for
the
collective
bargaining
agreements
with
city
workers
that
don't
yet
have
a
finalized
contract
in
hand.
We
sort
of
make
a
guess
at
how
much
it
might
cost
and
put
it
in
reserve.
But
it
doesn't
go
directly
into
the
department
budget,
because
department
budgets
depend
on
what
we've
actually
contracted
to
pay
our
city
workers,
and
so
when
those
contracts
are
finalized.
A
B
Good
start
uh
good
morning
uh
counselor
and
thank
you,
council
mark
and
council
murphy
council
flynn,
uh
we're
here
to
testify
uh
on
the
dockets
before
you
and
are
here
to
answer
questions
about
them.
uh
Dockets,
zero,
eight,
six,
two
and
zero
x,
zero.
Eight
six
three
are
appropriation
transfer
orders.
They
cover
the
fy
22
costs
of
collector
bargaining
agreements
between
the
city
and
school
traffic
supervisors
union
in
total,
145,
115,
uh
dockets,
zero,
eight,
six,
four
and
zero.
B
These
dockets
reduce
the
central
collective
borrowing
reserve
in
each
respective
fiscal
year
and
provide
funding
to
support
the
costs
for
the
boston
police
in
the
property
management
departmental
budgets
in
fy
22.
The
budget
passed
by
the
city
council
included
a
10
million
dollar
in
aggregate
reserve
to
cover
collective
bargaining
in
fy
23.
The
budget
recently
approved
includes
75.4
million
dollars
for
future
collective
bargaining
agreements,
including
the
school
of
traffic
supervisors
and
fy
22.
B
With
the
approval
of
these
supplementals,
the
remaining
balance
of
the
fy
22
collective
bargaining
reserve
will
be
full
approximately
4.7
million
dollars
and
the
fy
23
collective
bargaining
reserve
will
be
75.3
million
dollars,
uh
as
was
discussed
in
the
in
the
dockets.
uh
The
agreements
cover
three
years.
The
school
traffic
supervisors
runs
from
september,
1st
2020
to
august
31st
2023
in
the
municipal
police,
patrolman's
association
runs
from
july
1st
2020
to
june
30
2023,
uh
the
school
traffic
supervisor
wage
increases
occur
in
september
of
each
year
and
are
two
percent
point.
B
Five
percent
and
two
percent
in
the
uh
the
municipal
police
patrolmen's
association,
uh
occur
in
october
and
are
at
the
same
wage
pattern
of
two
percent
one
point:
five
percent
and
two
percent.
um
I'm
here
uh
joined
by
my
colleague
from
labor
relations.
To
answer
any
additional
questions
you
might
have.
C
Good
morning,
councilor
bach,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
us
good
morning,
councilman,
murphy
and
council
president
flynn.
My
name
is
jose
lopez.
I'm
the
deputy
director
of
the
office
of
labor
relations
before
you
today
are
the
results
of
contract
negotiations
with
the
bpstsa
and
the
mppa
I'll
begin
with
the
bpstsa.
C
The
duration
of
this
contract
has
been
discussed
september,
1st
2020
to
august
31st,
2023
I'll
mention
some
of
the
language
items
and
compensation
items
that
have
not
been
covered
already
in
terms
of
language
items.
We
did
update
the
military
leave
policy
that
required
some
update.
I
believe
the
city
council
received
a
redline
version
of
that.
I'm
glad
to
answer
any
additional
questions
if
there
are
on
the
updated
military
leave
policy.
C
In
addition,
we
added
the
covet
vaccine
policy
in
terms
of
compensation
items
that
have
not
been
discussed
already
in
recognition
of
the
hard
work
during
coven
19.
The
bps
tsc
members
are
also
provided
with
a
375
dollar
lump
sum:
payment,
minus
standard
deductions,
I'll
switch
over
to
the
mppa
collective
bargaining
agreement.
If
there
aren't
any
questions
with
the
bpsdsa.
A
C
C
C
In
addition,
other
compensation
items
that
have
not
been
discussed
thus
far
in
recognition
of
the
hard
work
during
the
pandemic.
Mppa
members
employed
on
the
date
of
this
agreement,
when
funded
by
the
city
council,
will
receive
a
one-time
only
lump
sum
payment
of
one
thousand
dollars
minus
standard
deductions.
C
D
Thank
you
thank
you,
chair,
and
thank
you
for
that.
Update
just
want
to
no
specific
question,
but
do
just
want
to
shed
light
as
a
boston,
public
school
teacher
for
over
20
years.
I
know
many
of
the
school
crossing
guards
and
I
do
just
want
to
recognize
their
hard
work
and
lift
up
the
increased
traffic
concerns
across
the
city
that
I
know
we
talk
about.
A
lot
here
on
the
council
on
council
of
president
flynn
is
a
advocate
about
making
sure
our
streets
are
safe.
D
So
I
do
just
want
to
recognize
that
I
do
understand
with
cars
feeding,
and
I
see
it
all
the
time
myself
where
people
just
drive
right
through
cross
walks
and
not
that
their
job
is
dangerous
and
they
do
an
amazing
job.
So
I
do
just
want
to
lift
that
up
and
also
with
the
bus
crisis.
We
had
this
past
year,
where
many
school
buses
were
not
picking
up
or
dropping
off
our
students.
D
The
regular
pattern
that
many
of
the
crossing
guards
who
were
assigned
to
a
certain
school
for
the
whole
year
were,
you
know,
changed
a
lot.
So
parents
coming
to
pick
up
when
they
normally
don't
or
kids
walking
to
school
when
they
normally
cut
off
a
bus,
definitely
changed
the
pattern
and
made
it
more
their
job
more
difficult.
So
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that,
and
so
I
am
happy
that
we
are
compensating
them
and
looking
at
you
know,
increase
in
their
pay.
D
I
just
will
always
say
I
hope
we
could
pay
them
more,
especially
um
and
then
just
also
the
the
mppa
bargaining
agreement
also,
I
know
the
seven
months
I've
been
here
know
most
of,
if
not
all,
of
the
um
the
guards
here
at
the
city
hall,
and
they
just
do
a
wonderful
job,
so
just
want
to
lift
that
up.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
chill
thank.
C
F
Thank
you,
chair
bach,
and
thank
you
to
the
administration
piano
that's
here
and
for
the
professional
work
that
you've
been
doing
on
behalf
of
the
administration
and
the
residents
of
the
city
um
so,
and-
and
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
again
on
my
my
colleague,
council
councilor
murphy
and
echo
the
exceptional
work
of
our
school
crossing
guards.
We
see
them
every
day
during
the
school
year,
providing
public
safety
support,
crossing
support
for
young
young
young
kids
and
their
parents,
um
walking
to
school
um
they're.
F
Stopping
cars,
they're
really
they're,
really
putting
their
body
in
front
of
the
of
the
automobile
in
in
the
student
to
make
sure
that
the
student
is
safe
crossing
the
street.
I
have
the
tremendous
amount
of
respect
for
the
job
they
do
um
school
crossing
guys.
How
much
do
they
make
how
much
they
make
um
an
hour?
How
much
they
make
a
year.
F
So
so
the
pay
is
going
up,
2
1.5
percent,
but
is
that
an
hourly
wage
that's
going
up
or
is
that
their
weekly
pay
or
just
give
me
a
little
background
on
on
how
how
they
get
paid?
I
know
they
work
from
like
eight
in
the
morning
or
seven
in
the
morning
until
till
ten,
the
minute,
then
they
might
come
back
at
after
this.
You
know
before
school
gets
out
and
then
they
work
till
three
o'clock,
so
they
might
work
a
total
of
four
or
five
hours
a
day.
C
And
so
these
are
part-time
employees,
which
is
why
their
covid
lump
sum
payment
is
significantly
less
than
our
40-hour
week.
Employees,
and
so
they
do
work.
Those
two
separate
shifts
and
I
believe
they
are
paid
hourly,
and
so
these
increases
represent
increases
to
those
wages.
For
these
percentage.
Excuse
me.
F
B
C
We
had
some.
There
was
a
lot
of
language
in
the
policy
president
flynn
that
really
just
wasn't
clear
and
so
a
former
employee
of
the
office
of
labor
relations.
Who
was
a
veteran
thought
that
he'd
take
a
second
look
and
try
to
clarify
the
language
that
way,
people
who
were
reading
it
felt
more
comfortable
and
really
understood
what
it
was
that
was
presented
in
front
of
them,
and
so
he
made
some
changes
in
structure.
F
F
F
We
can
fill
these
with
boston
police,
but
I
think
other
times
we're
not
able
to
do
it.
Just
sometimes
it's
not
enough
boston
police
for
various
reasons,
but
I
I
would
like
are
you
able
to
provide
me
a
list
of
times
or
a
list
of
a
list
of
times
and
days
over
the
last
year
where
a
school
area
was
unoccupied
because
we
didn't
have
a
police
officer
or
a
school
crossing
guard.
F
C
F
F
F
C
F
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much
president
flynn,
and
definitely
we'll
be
following
up
on
both
that
question
about
uncovered
shifts
um
and
also
the
wage
schedules
for
the
um
for
the
crossing
guards.
I
just
want
to
specify
for
the
future,
to
both
of
your
departments
that
I
certainly
expect
when
you
come
to
these
hearings
for
you
to
be
coming
with
a
wage
schedule
for
the
relevant
unit.
A
A
If,
in
the
future,
you
can
come
with
that
and
also
similarly,
I
think
you
know,
although
it
is
helpful
to
have
these
summary
sheets
of
the
items
that
have
changed
in
the
contract
since
that's
what
we're
funding,
um
it
would
also
be
good
for
olr
to
come
with
the
full
existing
agreement
right,
the
so
that,
for
instance,
with
a
question
like
on
the
uniforms,
you
can
be
like
well.
This
is
the
current
provision
which
didn't
change
in
this
thing.
A
To
flag
that
for
the
future
um
and-
and
I
before
actually
before
I
offered
questions-
I
had
neglected
to
say
at
the
start
of
this
hearing,
so
I
just
want
to
say
it
now
that
it
is
a
hearing,
so
we
are
taking
public
testimony.
So
if
you're
here
in
person,
please
feel
free
to
sign
up
over
there
in
the
corner.
A
There's
a
sheet
sign
in
sheet,
but
also,
if
you
are
watching
this
at
home
and
now
you
can
be
because
it's
being
live
streamed,
um
you
can
email,
uh
meghan,
kavanagh
and
I'm
just
going
to
give
you
megan's
email
um
and
we
can
put
you
onto
the
zoom
testimony
list.
So
that's
m-e-g-h-a-n,
dot,
k-a-v-a-n-a-g-h,
boston.gov
I'll!
Do
that
one
more
time:
m-e-g-h-a-n
dot,
k-a-v-a-n-a-g-h.
A
Boston.Gov
um
so
yeah,
that's
if
you
want
to
testify
and
if
um
you
are
watching
this
later
and
you
just
have
some
input
you'd
like
to
enter,
please
feel
free
to
email,
megan
after
the
fact
or
you
can
email
us
at
the
committee
at
ccc.csit
boston.gov
and
we
can
add
written
testimony
to
the
record
related
to
this
docket.
So
just
wanted
to
make
that
note
and
then
a
couple
more
questions.
On
my
end,
um
the
paid
detail
rate
for
mppa
what
what
types
of
things
is
mppa
doing
paid
details
for.
C
A
C
And
so
the
rate
that
was
chosen
was
chosen
so
that
they
still
are
an
affordable
option
for
third-party
vendors.
There's
still
work
available
for
them,
and
individual
individuals
or
vendors
are
able
to
make
the
decision
and
say
we'll
go
with
them
for
what
they
can
provide
and
in
instances
where
we
might
need
an
officer
that
still
has
those
powers
they'll
be
paying
a
higher
rate,
got.
A
G
C
Don't
anymore,
because
that
building's
not
there
once
that
reopens,
however,
we
have
some
officers
there.
They
will
be
utilizing
the
full
plaza
now,
and
I
know
they
have
vacancies
that
they're
trying
to
fill
so
that
they
have
enough
staff
to
cover
the
plaza
and
there's
a
there's,
a
trade
building
as
well
for
getting
the
address
where
we
have
offices.
G
A
A
A
Got
it
um
and,
uh
and
then
we've
got
these
two
wellness
days
for
folks
juneteenth.
Obviously,
juneteenth
is
not
on
the
crossing
guard
side,
because
it's
part-time
workers
right
and
same
thing
with
the
paid
parental
leave
policy
not
being
on
that
side.
But
and
sorry,
can
you
just
remind
me
again
for
the
record?
I
know
you
said
it
a
minute
ago,
but
just
what
that
update
to
the
paid
parental
leave
policy
is
for
the
mppa.
C
E
A
Yeah,
it
would
just
be
great
to
understand.
I
agree
with,
I
agree
with
counselor
flynn
that
they're
very
important,
and
I
also
think
I
know
we've
had
challenges
with
some
of
the
the
um
sort
of
like
part-time
support
staff
who
help
our
operations
at
uh
bps
run.
Bus
monitors
are
the
other
example
right.
We
sort
of
pay
on
a
per
diem
and
we've
had
trouble
having
consistency.
So
I
think
the
council
would
love
to
understand
what
um
to
the
president's
question.
You
know
like
how
many
of
those
shifts
are
going
uncovered.
A
B
A
Right,
but
if
we
had
a
healthy
ecosystem,
then
it
would
be
fine
that
we'd
have
continuous
flow
into
the
police
academy,
because
we'd
have
new
people
coming
up
in
mppa
right,
and
I
just
think
um
you
know
I
think,
in
a
lot
of
ways
the
mppa
faces
the
same
questions.
You
know
a
lot
of
the
a
lot
of
the
like
sort
of
supplementary
police
forces
whose
status
was
changed
by
the
law.
The
state
law
changed
a
year
and
a
half
ago.
A
I
think
it
puts
more
onus
on
us
to
think
about
the
training
as
sort
of
like
customer
service.
Right
I
mean
we've
had
this
conversation
with
the
park
rangers
like
the
ambassadorial
role.
I
think
we
all
know
that
these
folks
play
a
huge
ambassadorial
role
of
first
people
who
everyone
meets
when
they
enter
city
hall,
whichever
entrance
they
come
through
right,
and
so
I
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
important
to
like
to
recognize
those
places
where
the
role
may
be
shifting
a
bit,
um
but
we
have
to.
A
We
have
to
make
that
appealing
and
uh
and
competitive.
um
So
just
just
want
to
register
that.
um
I
think
those
are
my
main
comments.
I'm
going
to
go
back,
I
saw
both
my
colleagues
lights
flashing,
so
I'm
going
to
go
back
in
order
again
so
counselor
murphy
and
that
will
be
counselor
flynn.
Counselor
murphy.
D
D
It
may
be
something
outside
of
your
concern
here,
but
something
the
council
really
needs
to
look
at
to
make
sure
that
these
types
of
jobs
when
they're
not
able
to
get
there,
it
really
affects
our
students
getting
to
and
from
school
safely.
So
it's
very
important.
So
that
was
it
and
thank
you
thank
you
for
being
here.
F
I
believe
it's
like
an
edic
building
bpda
across
from
channel
7
under
under
property
management,
so
minnesota
police
work
there
as
well
um
um
among
other
places.
So
my
my
final
question
or
comment,
I
think
you
you
mentioned
it.
Counselor
bark
and
counselor
murphy,
just
with
the
just
with
the
low
low
pay
of
the
municipal
employees,
municipal
police,
are
they
subjected
to
the
residency
requirement?
F
F
F
That's
that's
half
their
salary
right.
There
20
that's
24,
000
bucks.
um
Then
then
you
have
your
bills.
The
electric
bill,
your
water
bill,
your
cable
bill,
food
bill,
that's
thirty
thousand
at
least
thirty
thousand.
Then,
if
you
have
a,
if
you
have
a
child,
our
our
family
who
pay
school
bills
and
tuition
bills,
you
know
we
we
we
almost
need
to
have
the
conversation.
F
C
What
I'll
share
um
president
flynn
is
that
we've
encouraged
the
office
of
labor
relations
has
also
encouraged
management
to
in
instances
where
they
believe
that
the
salaries
represent
a
barrier
to
hiring
that
they
engage
with
the
city
of
boss's
class
and
compensation
department
to
do
a
market
analysis
and
to
determine
whether
or
not
the
salaries
that
we're
offering
are
commensurate
with
those
positions
and
similarly,
similarly
situated
cities.
And
um
I
don't
think
that's
necessarily
been
an
approach
before
to
really
try
to
push
it
that
way.
F
F
I
know
I
know
my
colleagues
on
the
city
council
have
been
advocating
for
that
for
city
employees
over
the
last
year
over
the
last
two
years,
but
I
think
my
city
council
colleagues
make
sense.
They
want
to
see
an
opportunity
for
some
type
of
housing,
assistance
for
low-wage
city
employees
so
that
they're
able
to
live
in
boston.
They
love
the
city.
F
They
certainly
love
helping
helping
kids
cross
the
street
so
or
or
working
in
public
safety,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
our
part
and
provide
them
a
little
assistance
and
opportunity
so
that
they're
able
to
live
in
an
apartment
where
or
or
a
house.
Hopefully
so,
maybe
as
we
go
forward,
we
can
have
a
discussion.
You
guys
can
have
a
discussion
with
union
leaders
about
how
can
we
work
together?
A
Thank
you,
president
flynn,
um
and
I
agree,
and
I
think
I
was
um
pleased
that
the
that
there
is
a
pilot
program
funded
through
the
arpa
um
bill
that
the
council
passed
last
week
to
to
do
a
sort
of
pilot
of
thinking
about
how
we
help
city
workers
with
emergency
housing.
You
know,
needs
whether
it's
a
mortgage
or
a
or
a
rental
payment,
and
I
think,
like
you
said
that
was
a
strong
advocacy
point
from
the
council.
A
I
think
um
I
strongly
agree
that
in
the
long
run
like
these
comp
in
class
assessments
that
really
increase
um
the
basics
of
what
people
are
being
paid,
I
mean
wages
and
housing
are
two
sides
of
the
same
coin.
Right.
You
can
make
housing
more
affordable
by
lowering
the
price
of
the
housing
or
by
paying
people
more,
um
and
I
think
it's
it's
important
for
the
city
of
boston
to
make
sure
that
we're
competitive
um
and
uh
and
it's
what
our
workers
deserve.
And
then
I
think
to
the
president's
point.
A
I
think
when
you
look
at
the
history
of
our
collective
bargaining
in
the
city,
there
are
certain
units
who
have
advocated
for
housing
funds.
You
know
specific
to
their
union
that
we've,
the
city
has
participated
in
supporting
and
funding,
and
so
I
think
thinking
about
are
there
more
things
like
that
that
we
could
do
in
this
moment?
um
Obviously,
in
addition
to
the
programs
that
we
run
out
of
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
that
are
open
to
city
workers,
like
other
people
um
yeah,
I
just
I
agree.
A
um
I
think
those
are
all
the
questions
for
me.
I
don't
think
we
have
any
public
testimony
signed
up
in
person,
I'm
just
going
to
check
whether
we
have
any
virtual
okay,
no
virtual
public
testimony
um
are
both.
My
colleagues
all
set
okay
great
then
um
I
just
want
to
say,
as
I
mentioned
before,
I
do
anticipate
um
proposing
that
these
pass
the
council
at
our
next
meeting,
which
will
be
on
august
10th,
and
that
way
we
can
since
much
as
I
mentioned.
Much
of
this
is
retroactive.
A
We
can
get
the
retroactive
pay
increases
to
our
city
workers.
Some
people
wait
for
a
while
on
them,
um
I'll
just
underscore
the
things
I
said
today
about
kind
of
you
know
forward,
looking
how
we
think
about
that,
and
then
just
also
that
in
the
future
we
have
kind
of
the
base
contract
and
the
base
wage
scheme
and
everything
to
hand
for
these
hearings.
A
I
think
it's
important
and
we
will,
although
I
am
proposing
packet
passage,
we
will
be
following
up
my
committee
just
on
making
sure
that
the
questions
that
we
asked
today
we
get
answers
for
before
that
meeting
in
in
um
the
second
week
of
august.
So
thank
you
both
uh
jim
and
jose
um
for
joining
us.
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
had
anything
you
wanted
to
say
by
way
of
closing
statement.
