A
A
C
As
deputy
director
at
the
lawyers
Committee
for
rights
and
economic
justice,
you
are
a
family
man
and
you
know
a
husband,
a
dad
two
amazing
daughters,
you're
an
ordained
reverend
at
st.
Paul
AME
Church
in
Cambridge.
You
serve
on
a
number
of
boards,
but
two
of
note
em
lack
and
as
a
trustee
of
the
Himes
foundation,
you
were
once
an
ad
a:active,
not
just
in
education
and
voting
rights
issues,
making
sure
that
all
of
our
community
is
heard
and
is
at
the
table,
and
it
is
just
we
will
be
blessed.
C
D
You
very
much
councillor
Janie.
It
is
a
privilege
and
an
honor
to
be
before
you
all
this
day
on
for
me,
a
personally
satisfying
occasion,
but
also
at
very
trying
times
in
our
nation
and
in
this
city.
So
out
of
respect
for
all
faiths
and
religions
and
lack
thereof,
let
us
center
ourselves
for
a
moment
in
prayer.
D
Oh
God
many
awoke
with
heavy
hearts
on
this
day,
because
you
told
us
in
your
scriptures,
see
that
you
do
not
despise
one
of
these
little
ones
before
I
tell
you
that
their
angels
in
heaven
always
see
the
face
of
my
father
in
heaven,
but
somehow,
as
a
nation,
we
have
lost
sight
of
your
lessons
or
we
have
refused
to
honor
them.
Somehow
we
have
become
unmoored
from
our
grounding
in
you
or
we
have
run
astray.
D
Somehow
we
have
become
indifferent
to
the
suffering
or
our
passive
complicity
suggests
we
never
cared.
Now
we
stand
preparing
to
do
the
work
that
has
been
put
to
our
hands
the
work
of
administration,
the
work
of
discernment,
the
work
of
service,
let
that
service
be
done.
In
light
of
the
lessons
we
have
learned
from
you,
let
that
service
be
done
in
a
way
that
reflects
our
anchoring
in
you.
Let
that
service
be
done
in
a
way
that
shows
that
we
care
care
for
the
least
among
us,
the
most
vulnerable,
the
soldier
neurs
within
our
myths.
D
D
C
Thank
you
and
now
just
stay
right
here,
because
we
have
another
special
surprise,
another
member
from
st.
Paul
AME
Church.
It
is
with
great
pleasure
that
I
bring
to
you
a
resident
of
District,
seven
and
activist
and
a
leader
in
our
community
miss
charlotte
nelson.
Would
you
join
us
here,
along
with
your
family.
C
She
is
also
a
member
of
the
Roxbury
strategic
master
plan
oversight
committee,
which
is
an
appointed
board
of
the
mayor
and
she's
also
on
the
deadly
vision,
advisory
task
force
and
those
are
particularly
important
as
we
know
that
we
have
a
lot
of
challenges
throughout
different
neighborhoods
in
our
city
in
terms
of
displacement
and
gentrification,
and
so
having
a
strong
community
voice
represent
us
is
particularly
important.
She
has
been
with
Northeastern
University
since
1979.
C
She
is
a
member
of
the
st.
Paul
AME
Church
in
Cambridge.
She
is
a
mom
to
miss
Laurie
Nelson,
who
is
our
new
chief
of
resiliency
for
the
City
of
Boston,
doing
amazing
work
and
the
grandmother
to
Malachi,
and
it's
just
a
blessing
to
have
you
so
I
just
wanted
to
present.
I'm,
a
big
believer
that
we
need
to
honor
people
when
they're
here
when
they
can
enjoy
it
to
give
the
flowers
now
and
I
know
you'll,
be
with
us
for
many
years
to
come.
C
The
Boston
City
Council,
and
on
this
day
we
are
presenting
with
you
presenting
you
with
this
resolution
and
I
won't
go
through
all
of
the,
whereas,
whereas,
whereas
because
we
have
several
presentations
but
just
know
that
this
is
heartfelt
and
in
recognition
of
all,
you
do
and
I
look
forward
to
continued
partnership
with
you.
So
thank
you
so
much
and
we
can
do
some
photos,
make
some
remarks.
E
Hello,
everyone
I
am
almost
speechless
but
very
grateful
that
I
was
able
to
connect
with
a
lot
of
people
that
some
of
you
may
know
in
this
room
from
this
beautiful
city.
Going
back
to
the
60s.
I
won't
call
names
because
I'll
be
here
for
five
days,
but
anyway,
thank
you
so
much
and
to
this
young
lady
I,
guess
I,
guess
what
I
can
say
to
councilor
Janie
is
that
is
that
I'm
glad
from
my
generation?
E
G
H
G
The
incredible
honor
of
recognizing
a
Boston
Marathon
legend.
We
began
this
having
five
years
ago
with
recognizing
Dave
McGilvery,
our
the
race
director,
a
longtime
race,
director,
Team
Hoyt,
a
father-son
team
that
really
encapsulate
what
it
means
and,
in
the
spirit
of
a
bust
and
strong
jack
faults
a
great
marathoner.
Last
year
we
had
Joan,
but
on
Samuelsson,
when
the
greatest
runners
of
all
time
we
weren't
able
to
get
it
together
before
I,
wasn't
able
to
get
it
together
before
this
year's
marathon.
We
typically
do
it.
G
The
Wednesday
before
the
Patriots
day
and
boy
am
I
glad
that
I
wasn't
able
to
get
it
together,
because
for
the
first
time
ever,
we
have
a
newly
minted
winner,
the
winner
of
this
year,
the
first
American
woman
to
win
it
in
33
years
and
what
an
amazing
day
it
was
so
I'm
just
gonna
go
through
and
good
carries,
ready.
I'll
tell
you
when
to
hit
when
to
when
to
hit
play
on
this
cuz.
G
It
builds
in
the
crescendo,
which
we
know
the
ending,
but
anyway,
if
we
could
just
pause
that
or
go
back
okay,
that's
all
right!
You
know
how
it
goes
anyway,
from
her
roots
in
California,
desiree
desmond
in
has
competed
every
level
of
running.
She
started
as
a
high
school
all-star
athlete
at
Chula
Vista
California,
two-time
all-american.
She
exceeded
at
Arizona
State
and
then
found
herself
in
the
Midwest
where
her
running
career
really
took
off.
She
got
silver
medals
in
the
2010
Chicago
Marathon,
as
well
as
the
2015
Turin
Toronto
pan-american
game.
G
She
is
a
two-time
Olympian.
She
first
qualified
in
2012,
the
London
Games,
but
her
dreams
of
Olympic
medals
would
be
sidelined
due
to
a
stress
factor
fraction
in
her
femur
as
she
was
unable
to
finish
the
race
it
occurred.
While
she
was
running,
obviously
an
incredibly
heartbreaking
setback,
but
des
would
be
back
at
the
Olympics
four
years
later
in
Rio,
where
she
came
in
seventh
place.
She
has
a
long
history,
although
not
a
Bostonian,
by
birth.
She
is
an
honorary
Bostonian.
She
first
ran
in
Boston
in
2007,
where
she
finished
in
19th
place
in
2011.
G
She
set
the
fastest
pace
by
an
American
woman
where
she
finished
a
heartbreaking
second
place
in
2014.
She
was
the
second
fastest
American
coming
in
tenth
place.
In
2015
she
was
a
fastest
American
woman
at
fourth
place.
She
also
finished
4th
place
again.
Last
year
des
and
I
have
run
two
marathons
together
by
the
time
she
is
crossing
the
finish
line.
I
am
making
my
way
by
Wellesley
College,
which
isn't
even
the
halfway
point.
G
That
is
not
even
an
exaggeration,
but
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
this
year's
race
because
it
was,
it
was
unbelievable.
I
didn't
run
this
year.
I
was
down
sharing
folks
on,
but
my
predecessor
and
our
friend
John
Tobin
did
run
this
year
and
he
was
the
one
I
talked
to
him
after
he
said
it
was
like
running
through
a
carwash.
It
was
38
degrees,
the
temperature
there
were
25
mile
and
I
our
headwinds
coming
at
you.
G
It
was
cold,
it
was,
it
was
rainy,
it
was
teeming
rain
the
whole
time
the
conditions
were
unbelievable.
Now
we
knew
sort
of
going
into
this
weekend
before
going
into
that
weekend
that
there
was
because
of
incredible
athletes
like
Desmond,
and
there
was
a
chance
that
a
woman
could
win
an
American
woman
could
win
it
this
year,
but
very
few
thought.
The
conditions
were
just
so-so
distresses,
incredibly
difficult
that
about
mile
six.
It
does
said
to
herself
I.
G
Don't
think
that
I'm
gonna
be
able
to
finish
it
to
show
what
an
incredible
person
she
is
when
incredible
athletes.
She
is.
She
talked
to
some
of
the
other
women
who
were
in
competition
to
possibly
come
in
first
place
like
Shalini
Flanagan
and
said
what
can
I
do
to
help
you
I'm
not
gonna,
be
able
to
finish
this
use
me
to
help
cut
down
on
the
headwind
or
to
pace
yourself.
Many
of
us
know
she
actually
waited
for
to
be
able
to
continue.
G
It
was
remarkable
and
then
in
about
mild
22,
not
quite
mark
SEOmoz
district,
just
before
it
mild
23,
she
started
to
feel
a
little
bit
better.
She
pulled
the
head.
I
asked
her
earlier.
When
did
you
know?
You
were
gonna
win
and
she
said
was
until
I
was
90
percent
down
Boylston
Street,
and
then
this
happened.
If
we
can
just
Riku
this
tape,
because
it's
well
worth
it
Thank
You
Kerri,
maybe
get
some
volume.
If
possible.
G
G
H
H
G
An
amazing
day,
I
got
chills
watching
that
I.
Don't
need
to
tell
you
folks
about
what
the
marathon
means
to
our
city
five
years
after
the
incredibly
dark
days.
The
resilience
of
this
city
is
the
greatest
legacy
of
those
people
whom
we
lost
in
2013,
and
very
few
people
exemplify
what
it
means
to
be
Boston
strong
than
des
linden.
That
is
why
I
am
incredibly
honored
to
announce
today
that
this
City
Council
has
voted
to.
I
Thank
you.
What
else
can
I
say
you've
seen
it
all
yeah
I
never
expected
to
be
a
marathoner
I
watched
people
do
that
distance
and
I
thought
wow.
What's
wrong
with
them,
I
came
to
Boston
and
ran
my
first
marathon
here
in
2007
and
it
changed
the
direction
of
my
life.
I
fell
in
love
with
the
event
and
I
wanted
to
do
something
special
in
this
city
on
this
course,
and
for
these
great
people
and
I've
come
so
close.
I
I've
gone
through
the
ups
and
downs
and
I've
seen
you
know,
history
happen
in
the
city,
the
good,
the
bad,
the
ugly
and
the
city
bounces
back
and
when
I
felt,
like
I,
was
ready
to
give
up
chasing
the
dream
in
2017
I.
Couldn't
let
it
go.
I
had
to
show
up
one
more
time
and
became
my
mantra
for
the
last
ten
months
year
keeps
showing
up
and
I'm
gosh
I'm.
Glad
I
did
thank
you
for
giving
me
a
platform
to
do
what
I
do
and
celebrate
running
and
yeah.
Thank
you.
A
F
All
right,
we'll
we'll
get
started
with
the
meeting
and
I
appreciate
everyone's
indulgence,
but
this
is
a
day
of
celebrating
winners,
and
so
we
celebrated
our
earlier
winners
in
service
in
public
service
and
in
community
building.
We
just
celebrated
a
marathon
champion
and
winner
and
now
we're
going
to
celebrate
us
some
of
our
bps
winners
who,
for
those
of
you
that
are
that
are
not
aware.
F
I
mean
it's
no
secret
I'm,
certainly
very
passionate
about
the
restaurant
industry
and
the
culinary
arts,
and,
while
all
of
you
are
supporting
efforts
to
grow
that
industry
for
the
critical
role
that
food
plays
in
community
and
also
in
economy,
we
also
need
to
make
sure
that
our
workforce
is
keeping
pace
with
that
and
Madison
Park
has
a
premier,
culinary
arts
program.
I
hope
for
us,
for
one
of
our
council.
F
F
So
one
dollar
and
forty
three
cents,
while
also
meeting
strict
nutritional
standards
and
so
their
winning
dish,
was
saute.
Chicken,
onions
and
peppers
with
brown
rice,
fresh
tomato
and
corn
salsa
with
banana
bites
for
dessert.
I
know
you
guys
are
getting
hungry
just
listenin
to
that
right,
and
so
then
they
went
on
to
Washington
DC.
After
winning
the
challenge
locally
to
represent
us
in
Washington
DC.
We
are
so
very
proud,
joined
on
the
die
ass
by
executive
director
of
Madison
Park
Kevin
McCaskill
by
bps
food
and
nutrition,
executive,
director,
Laura,
Benavidez
and
I.
F
Think
our
instructors,
chef,
Tony
Larkins
and,
of
course
our
chefs
and
I-
will
name
them.
Joan,
Joanne,
Elise,
Jennifer,
syama
Ashley
did
I
get
it
all
right,
not
at
all
okay.
Well,
they
will
introduce
themselves
okay
and
we
will
make
sure
the
next
time
you
come
that
you
come
with
that
winning
dish.
Okay,
oh
you
do.
J
My
name
is
taya,
Henderson,
okay,
I'm,
actually
a
junior
here
at
Madison
Park.
This
is
my
first
competition
doing
this
competition
actually
taught
me
a
lot
of
things
that
I
didn't
think
I
can
do.
I
didn't
think
I
can
make
a
delicious
meal
without
a
dollar.
Forty
three,
since
it
was
just
three
season
and
that's
all
we
had
I'm
planning
on
definitely
doing
this
competition
next
year.
It's
a
really
powerful
competition.
It's
not
something!
J
K
L
Hi
my
name's
Artesia
Fuentes
I'm
in
ninth
grade
there's
my
first
competition
as
well.
I
am
so
happy
that
we
got
this
far,
especially
because
taya
actually
trained
me
in
three
hours
for
the
whole
dish
and
I
was
ecstatic
when
I
found
out
that
we
went.
I
was
over
the
roof,
I'm
happy
that
we
got
to
make
the
dish
I'm
happy
that
we
got
to
go
to
finals.
L
Basically,
our
goal
was
trying
to
create
a
healthy,
simple
dish
that
children
would
like
something
that
they
would
want
to
eat,
that
they
would
enjoy
and
I
feel
like.
Even
though
we
didn't
win
nationals,
we
feel
like
we've
stepped
a
milestone
and
we've
got
to
a
goal
that
we
didn't
think
we
were
going
to
reach
so.
M
First
and
foremost,
thank
you
for
having
us
in
and
noticing
in
a
comment
and
acknowledging
our
victory,
but
it's
one
of
the
things
that
we're
really
proven
to
ourselves
that
our
students
are
capable
of
great
things,
and
this
is
just
the
first
of
many
many
competitions
and
excuse
me
and
success
stories
at
Madison
Park
we'll
have
so.
Thank
you
again.
We
truly
appreciate
it,
but
also
for
miss
Benavidez
for
her
support
from
Boston
Public
Schools.
It
was
greatly
appreciated.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you
so
much
so
the
intent
of
this
competition
is
clearly
you
can
hear
from
the
students
it's
an
opportunity
to
know
all
of
the
regulations
that
what
we
have
to
go
through
to
put
meals
and
menus
and
recipes
together,
but
for
them
to
also
put
their
spin
on
it,
but
knowing
the
restrictions
that
we
have
not
only
nationally,
but
specifically
here
in
Boston,
we're
very
particular
about
no
antibiotics.
No,
no
artificial,
flavors,
colorings
preservatives
because
we
want
to
do.
N
We
want
to
be
as
fresh
as
possible
with
our
meals
so
giving
that
list
to
those
students
and
then
saying,
oh
by
the
way,
it
is
a
dollar
forty
three,
because
that's
our
budget.
It
truly
is
a
challenge,
and
they
here
in
Madison
Park,
we
had
the
opportunity
to
compete
in
a
Boston
competition
with
Madison
Park
Boston
day
and

A
G
Co-Sponsor
on
this
very
important
initiative,
alongside
my
dear
friend
and
colleague,
at-large
council,
anna
presley,
it
was
a
terrific
hearing.
Thank
you
to
you,
our
colleagues
who
participated
in
staffs
that
were
there
as
well.
It
was
nearly
three
hours
long
and
we
had
a
really
informative
and
worthwhile
discussion
with
Commissioner
Cook
in
his
team.
We
then
heard
from
some
academics
some
folks,
we've
been
working
on
similar
issues,
the
way
that
we
can
grow
our
tree
canopy
in
Boston
and
2014
the
last
time
there
was
an
honest
assessment
of
a
flyover.
We
recognize
it's
about.
G
24,
25
percent
of
Boston
has
a
tree.
Canopy
coverage,
that's
a
pretty
good
barometer,
but
but
we
have
an
ambitious
goal,
as
we
often
do
in
this
city
to
even
go
beyond
that
and
hit
almost
35%
tree
coverage
canopy
by
2030.
We
clearly
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
We
were
discussing
some
ideas
and
strategies
that
we
can
use
to
grow,
that
in
the
midst
of
development,
at
the
midst
of
using
both
trees
as
coverage
to
help
as
a
coastal
city
dealing
with
floods
dealing
with
the
torrential
rains
and
downpours.
G
So
it's
an
exciting
time,
looking
forward
to
continuing
to
work
alongside
councilor
Pressley
in
the
parks
department,
as
well
as
other
advocates
that
stakeholder,
as
many
of
whom
spoke
very
eloquently
and
passionately
about
this
very
important
issue
and
I.
Ask
that
this
matter
remaining
committee.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
You,
madam
president,
again
thank
you
to
my
good
friend
and
chair
for
a
well-run
hearing
and
for
expediting
the
scheduling
of
this
appreciate
your
partnership
on
this
and
your
stewardship
on
so
many
environmental
issues.
I
will
be
brief
because
there's
a
lot
of
they're
there
for
us
to
follow
up
on
and
if
we
told
you
all
our
next
steps,
we'd
be
having
a
much
longer
meeting,
but
I
will
say
that
you
know
there
are
things
that
I
learned
in
the
hearing.
I
already
knew
going
into
it.
F
That
neighborhoods,
like
the
Seaport
in
East
Boston,
are
at
greater
risk,
given
their
proximity
to
sea
level
rise
and
the
climate
and
East
Boston
has
only
7%
tree
coverage,
the
lowest
in
the
city,
and
so
we
have
neighborhood
organizations
like
the
NOAA
CDC
and
East
Boston,
who
have
been
stepping
up
with
youth
that
are
stipended
to
fill
that
gap.
But
you
know
that
is
not
going
to
allow
us
to
address
these
disparities
and
tree
canopies
throughout
the
city
of
Boston.
F
The
other
thing
that
I
learned
is
that
our
budget
for
trees,
that
budget
exists
entirely
in
our
capital
budget
and
I,
really
do
think,
given
the
role
that
trees
play
in
public
health
in
quality
of
life
and
reducing
asthma
rates
in
reducing
stress
that
we
should
be
considering
trees
as
a
part
of
our
Boston
Public,
Health
Committee
Commission
budget,
and
also
our
Boston
Transportation
Department
budget.
Given
the
role
the
trees
play
in
enhancing
quality
of
life
and
loading
walkability.
So
right
now
that
entire
budget
is
sitting
in
capital.
F
The
other
thing
is
that
we
have
a
very
small
number
of
true
tree
wardens
and
arborist
who
are
charged
with
maintaining
the
preservation
and
the
life
of
our
existing
trees.
So
we
are
losing
trees
because
of
development.
We
are
losing
trees
because
of
extreme
weather,
and
so
we
have
to
make
sure
for
every
tree
we're
losing
that
we
are
planting
and
for
the
trees
that
we
are
planting,
that
they
stay
alive
and
then
we've
got
to
be
more
aggressive
in
our
planting.
F
Matapan,
comparatively
in
Hyde
Park
are
considered
to
have
a
greater
tree
canopy,
but
that
number
is
misleading
because
the
tree
canopy
and
Matapan
in
Hyde
Park,
most
of
that
is
made
up
by
the
Neponset.
So
that
is
not
speaking
about
the
disparity
in
street
trees,
so
you
know
there's
much
more
work
to
be
done
in
this
space.
I
look
forward
to
partnering,
with
my
good
friend
and
colleague
on
this
and
I
think
everyone.
F
A
Q
You,
madam
chair,
this
Monday
June
18th.
We
held
a
hearing
on
teacher
diversity
in
the
Boston
Public
Schools.
Unfortunately,
I
was
unable
to
attend
the
hearings.
I
wasn't
feeling
well
so
I
do
want
to
thank
counselor
Jeannie
for
her
leadership
and
her
chairmanship
of
that
hearing.
I
just
want
to
highlight
a
few
points
before
I
turn
it
over
to
so
Jeannie
for
a
more
fuller
report.
First
I
believe
very
wholeheartedly
that
diversity
matters
that
includes
includes
race,
ethnicity,
gender
and
sexual
orientation.
Oftentimes
the
men
get
forgotten.
Q
When
we
talk
about
teacher
diversity
and
our
schools,
it's
so
very
important
that
we
do
have
we
encourage
more
men
to
participate
in
education
and
in
our
classrooms
as
a
mother
of
four
boys,
the
most
meaningful,
some
of
the
most
meaningful
classroom
experiences
they
have
had
have
been
with
male
teachers,
especially
their
science
and
math
teachers
right
now,
mr.
Charles
and
mr.
kid,
as
they
wrap
up
their
here.
Q
Thank
you
for
taking
care
of
them,
and,
secondly,
we
heard-
and
we
heard
it
throughout
the
course
of
the
hearing
about
some
of
the
barriers
that
our
teachers
face,
that
want
to
teach
in
our
schools
and
in
particular,
the
MTEL
test.
Third,
and
most
probably
most
importantly,
we
have
to
focus
on
the
burnout
rate
of
our
teachers
and
the
pressures
that
we
put
on
teachers
in
the
classroom.
They
need
support
both
for
their
work
and
their
profession
and
for
their
kids
so
that
they
can
teach.
Q
C
You,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
councillor,
Sabri
George,
glad
to
see
that
you
are
feeling
better
and
that
you're
with
us
today,
so
on
Monday,
June,
18th
I
did
hold
a
hearing.
This
was
a
hearing
that
I
had
sponsored
earlier
on
teacher
diversity.
We
had
a
panel
from
the
Boston
Public
Schools
join
us
as
well
as
some
of
our
our
community
partners.
So
we
heard
from
the
lawyers
Committee
for
civil
rights
and
economic
justice.
They
are
the
lead
author
of
the
report,
broken
promises
that
was
discussed
at
the
hearing.
C
The
bus
and
teachers
union,
of
course,
was
there
the
black
educators
alliance
of
Massachusetts?
We
also
heard
from
the
Boston
network
for
black
student
achievement
and
testimony
from
fair
test
as
well,
certainly
want
to
thank
all
of
my
colleagues
who
were
able
to
participate
in
that
hearing.
Very
important
discussion
certainly
want
to
echo
the
points
that
councillor
sabe
Jorge
already
raised,
particularly
that
around
our
male
teachers.
C
So
when
we
talk
about
diversity,
clearly,
race,
ethnicity
and
language
is
important,
but
we
also
need
to
do
much
more
to
recruit,
hire
and
develop
and
retain
our
male
teachers
as
well.
One
of
the
takeaways
from
this
was
just
the
importance
of
not
just
doing
new
and
different,
but
doing
more
of
what
we
know
already
works.
So
there
are
some
proven
strategies
that
folks
want
us
to
see
has
come
back
to
I
think
you
know
this.
We
know
that
this
is
not
a
new
issue.
C
It's
a
persistent
problem
that
we
have
to
tackle,
and
so,
as
des
linden
has
just
reminded
us,
it's
important
to
keep
showing
up
I
think,
there's
a
lot
more
work
that
we
need
to
do.
I,
look
forward
to
doing
that
in
working
session
and
partner
with
my
colleagues
here,
but
also
with
the
community
partners,
who
were
present
and
asked
that
this
matter
remaining
committee.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
And
when
we
looked
at
what
the
demographic
is
for
the
student
body
in
bps
and
if
we
use
that
metric
to
see
if
we
were
meeting
that
in
every
school
in
the
City
of
Boston
in
terms
of
our
teachers,
zero
schools
are
a
success.
Some
are
doing
better
than
others,
but
zero
came
close
to
the
demographics
of
the
studio
student
body
when
it
comes
to
teachers
of
color.
So
thank
you
for
holding
such
a
powerful
hearing.
A
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
partner
with
you
in
the
work,
but
it
was
robust
and
I
thought
it
did
a
really
great
job
of
painting
the
scope
of
the
problem
and
then
also
highlighting
areas
where
we
could
do
better
in
terms
of
solutions.
So
thank
you
again,
councillor
Janie

at
the

of
the

Boston's

Committee
known
as

sounds.
R
The
City
Council
is
required
to
take
action
on
the
Community
Preservation
Committee's
recommendation
for
the
funding
appropriations
to
take
effect.
There
were
35
projects,
as
mentioned
each
one
with
various
funding
requests
under
the
following
categories.
We
had
12
projects
for
historic
preservation,
three
projects
for
affordable
housing,
13
projects
for
recreational
use
in
open
space
and
seven
projects
for
blended
historic
preservation,
recreation
use
and
open
space.
After
hearing
we
heard
from
ma
handy
chief
financial
officer
for
the
city,
along
with
Christine
Poth
who's,
the
director
of
the
community
preservation
program
both
spoke
in
support
of
dr.
R
zero

for
CFO
handy
explained.
The
process
by
selecting
the
projects,
how
was
fair
and
transparent
and
also
aligned
with
the
goals
of
Boston
2030,
as
well
as
the
city's
capital
plans,
and
also
meet
the
legal
requirements
of
the
Community
Preservation
Act
outlined
in
Mass
General
Laws
chapter
44.
The
direct
UPOV
also
explained
that
the
CPC
retos
received
a
total
of
58
applications
and
noted
that
there
were
no
applications
from
the
neighborhoods
of
Charlestown
and
Mattapan.
R
So
folks
are
listening
from
Charlestown
and
that
opinion
gonna
get
in
the
game
right
so
reach
out
to
your
district
or
your
at-large
council.
Isn't
we
can
help
you
through
that
process,
but
there's
very
notable
and
worthwhile
projects
on
both
of
those
neighborhoods
that
could
have
been
the
beneficiaries
of
some
very
precious
and
needed
funds?
So
hopefully
they'll
get
to
the
forefront
of
the
next
round
before
the
CPA
Sam
Tyler
from
the
boss,
municipal
research
be
offered
testimony
concerning
CPA
funds
that
included
comments
about
the
blended
projects.
R
Mr.
Tyler
recommended
that
the
CPC
reconstruct
the
numbers
concerning
the
blended
projects
for
reporting
requirements
to
provide
better
transparency
for
the
public.
We
also
heard
from
25
individual
applicants,
some
of
who
are
here
today
in
the
chamber,
who
talked
about
their
projects
and
a
need
to
receive
the
funding
they
talked
about
to
give
us
an
overview
of
the
projects,
discuss
the
impacts
of
that
their
organizations
have
on
the
surrounding
community
and
describe
the
benefits
that
the
project
will
bring
to
the
neighborhoods
of
Boston
and
those
were
from
all
over
the
city.
R
Further,
the
committee
discussed
the
process
projects
in
equity,
indicating
a
breakdown
of
actual
surcharges
by
neighborhood
and
asked
that
that
be
included
now,
the
next
round
of
submissions
for
coal
would
be
helpful
as
well.
So
at
this
time,
as
the
chair
of
community
of
preservation,
I'm
recommending
the
docket
0
9
1
for
an
appropriation
and
order
total
amount
of
8
million
35
thousand
$55
for
fiscal
year,
2018
community
preservation
funds
that
it
ought
to
pass.
Thank
you
very
president.
A
Thank
You
councillor
T
anyone
else
wishing
to
speak
on
this
matter
at
this
time,
I'll
just
quickly,
add
Thank,
You
councillor
flurry
for
holding
a
hearing
and
thank
you
to
Christine
and
her
incredible
team
for
shepherding
the
committee
and
the
community
through
this
process
and
on
all
of
the
technical
assistance
that
was
provided
to
applicants
to
make
it
easier
for
them
to
navigate
this.
You
went
above
and
beyond.
So
thank
you,
ladies
for
your
work
and
I
would
just
quickly
add
because
I
heard
this
concern
from
some
constituents
and
also
raised
it
at
the
hearing.
A
There
were
two
projects
that
are
playgrounds
for
school
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
no
one
wants
to
stand
up
against
playgrounds,
but
these
constituents
want
to
make
sure
that
the
committee
is
mindful
that
there
are
a
lot
of
projects,
historic
preservation
and
housing
that
have
less
access
to
money
within
the
city
of
Boston's
budget
for
those
types
of
projects,
whereas
the
bps
budget
is
obviously
larger,
and
so
for
me
when
I
was
talking
about
this.
At
the
hearing,
I
noted
the
transportation
budget,
which
we
always
talk
about,
which
is
120
million
dollars.
A
A
I
think
is
something
that
we
should
be
mindful
of,
and
so
I
wanted
to
flag
that
because
I
raised
it
at
the
hearing
and
I
know,
some
constituents
were
concerned
about
that
and
I
hope
that
the
CPC
will
take
take
that
into
consideration
when
thinking
about
the
project's
historic
preservation,
open
space
and
other
spaces
as
well
as
affordable
housing
that
has
less
resources
to
tap
into
in
the
city
of
Boston's
budget
councillor
Flaherty.
Thank
you
again
for
a
credible
hearing
Kristine.
Thank
you
for
your
work
and
that
hearing
as
well.
S
You
very
much
Madam
President
I
first
want
to
thank
officer
Wu,
and
am
president
Campbell
for
co-sponsoring
0
to
64.
I
was
a
very
well
attended
hearing
that
we
had
last
night.
Many
people
testified
chief
cross
in
BPD
were
the
first
panel.
The
second
panel
was
many
advocates,
and
members
of
the
ACLU
surveillance
and
technology
allows
Boston
Police
Department
to
protect
our
citizens,
but
we
also
want
our
citizens
protect
it
as
well.
This
is
a
very
fluid
technology.
It's
a
very
fluid
process.
S
Boston
Police
Department
has
committed
to
work
with
us
committed
to
work
through
this
fluid
technology
as
they
as
they
continue
to
move
forward
with
these
new
spaces
will
hold
they've
promised
to
have.
Several
working
sessions
will
bring
this
to
a
working
session
where
we
continue
to
make
the
policy
that
not
only
works
for
the
Boston
Police
Department
protects
our
own
citizens
and
our
own
rights.
So
at
this
time,
as
chair
we'd
like
to
leave
this
in
committee,
Thank.
T
Wanted
to
rise
to
thank
the
chairman
for
running
a
great
hearing
in
fir
and
to
you,
madam
president,
for
partnering
I
thought
it
was
really
exciting
that
there
was
broad
consensus
at
the
hearing
that
one
we
understand.
Technology
and
data
are
going
to
be
driving
a
lot
of
the
way
that
city
services
will
be
delivered
now
and
into
the
future
and
that
it
that
only
makes
it
more
important
that
there's
trust
and
accountability
through
legislative
and
policy
protection.
T
So
it
was
great
to
hear
that
the
representatives
and
leadership
from
Boston
Police
were
on
board
with
that
and
now
I
think
it's
on
to
tweaking
some
of
the
details
of
what
that
means
and
how
to
make
sure
we're
putting
in
place
safeguards
that
will
continue
to
apply
as
everything
gets
more
and
more
complicated
and
the
technology
continues
to
advance
with
all
the
equipment
we're
talking
about.
So
thank
you
both
and
looking
forward
to
next
steps.
I
Thank.
F
Okay,
okay,
all
right
well,
I
just
rise
to
commend
the
makers.
Thank
you
comes
from
Campbell
and
Wu
for
your
leadership
on
this.
I
also
want
to
thank
our
community
partners,
the
ACLU
ace
n-double-a-cp
and
Urban
League,
and
it
also
just
come
in
the
many
young
people
that
were
there,
and
it
is
encouraging
to
know
that
we
are
all
on
the
same
page
and
efforts
and
wanting
to
both
protect
privacy
and
civil
liberties,
while
also
keeping
us
all
safe.
F
But
the
underlying
issue
here
just
continues
to
be
the
need
to
to
build
trust
and
so
I'm
appreciative
that
we
all
share
that
commitment
and
to
look
forward
to
next
steps
and
what
sort
of
you
know
ordinance
might
might
come
out
of
this
to
ensure
all
of
that,
but
we
just
have
to
continue
to
be
vigilant
on
all
those
fronts,
to
both
protect
privacy
and
civil
liberties
and
to
make
sure
they're
we're
being
thoughtful
in
these
broader
conversations
about
how
to
keep
one
another
safe
without
being
profiled.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
A
It
not
only
talked
about
the
need
for
our
Police
Department
to
have
the
technology
to
do
their
work
effectively,
but
striking
that
balance,
not
only
in
terms
of
privacy
in
our
civil
liberties,
but
also
making
sure
that
folks
in
certain
communities
feel
like
they
can
actually
trust
the
police
when
they
say
something
and
I
think
this
was
a
great
example
of.
Sometimes
we
do
things
and
we
don't
inform
certain
communities.
So
how
do
we
make
sure
that
they're
informed
at
the
beginning
when
we're
thinking
about
rolling
something
out?
So
thank
you
again.
A
U
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
want
to
thank
Council
Edwards
co-sponsoring
this
order.
The
purpose
of
this
hearing
is
to
give
the
office
of
veteran
services
the
emigrated
departments,
including
state
and
federal
officials,
active
and
helping
veterans,
an
opportunity
to
provide
an
update
in
raise
awareness
on
all
the
great
work
they
that
they
are
doing
in
support
of
veterans
in
military
families
in
Boston.
U
Through
this
point
for
this
hearing,
I
hope
to
make
the
public
in
veterans
in
military
families
more
aware
of
the
services
available
to
all
who
served
I
come
from
the
family
and
community
that
has
always
valued
service
to
our
country
in
equally
as
important
helping
military
families
from
the
South
Boston
Vietnam
veterans
that
built
the
first
Memorial
in
the
country,
twelve
fallen
brothers
via
service
will
always
be
real.
Remember
on
this
most
memorial
on
this
recent
Memorial
Day
I
was
honored
to
join
Mayor
Walsh
at
the
Puerto
Rican
Veterans
Memorial.
U
In
the
south
end
and
at
the
Chinese
American
Veterans
in
Chinatown
as
well,
we
have
seen
every
community
in
neighborhood
throughout
Boston,
stand
up
and
serve
our
country.
Every
ethnic
group,
race,
religion,
color,
sexual
orientation,
young
people
or
we
are
veterans,
younger
veterans,
Perkins
posed
the
mckeon
posed
student
veterans.
I
have
also
been
proud
to
attend
recent
veteran
veterans.
Events
at
the
Cotter
post
on
boo,
hoo
Avenue,
with
african-american
veterans,
Latino
veterans,
Asian
veterans,
all
have
earned
our
respect
as
a
society.
U
Let
us
ensure
that
we
remember
in
honor
them
I'm,
also
proud
of
the
work
of
Commissioner
sterling
in
Mayor
Walsh.
They
have
worked
hard
for
all
veterans
in
military
families,
ensuring
they
are
treated
with
dignity
and
respect,
and
just
asking
for
your
support
on
this
hearing.
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
Thank.
V
Well,
I'm,
not
a
veteran
I
am
a
daughter
of
a
veteran
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
have
found
when
my
mother
retired
is
often
times
that
when
resources
are
available
but
you're
not
made
or
you're
not
connected
with
them,
they're
virtually
useless,
and
so
what
I
wanted
to
make
sure
and
working
with
councillor
Flynn
is
that
the
resources
that
we
are
providing,
which
are
necessary,
which
are
great,
which
are
good,
are
as
streamlined
as
possible.
This
is
not
a
hearing
criticizing
at
all
the
efforts
of
the
mayor
or
Gisele
Stirling.
V
If
anything,
it's
commending
their
efforts
and
then
saying
where
there
are
some
methods
for
improvement,
let's
hear
from
the
veterans
about
where
that
improvement
can
be
and
how
we
will
immediately
provide
those
services
and
make
sure
that
we
are
going
to
be
standing
with
them.
I
also
think,
what's
really
important
when
we
have
this
hearing
is
a
matter
of
letting
those
veterans
who
feel
unseen
to
be
seen
and
to
have
a
voice.
V
I
also
wanted
to
note
that
there
are
already
some
wonderful
systems
already
that
we
learned
from
the
hearing
with
the
Boston
Fire
Department,
where
they
actually
are
notified
when
people
are
coming
into
the
Commonwealth
who
have
retired
or
coming
here
as
a
veteran,
and
that
we
support
that
effort,
they
may
be
streamline
those
efforts
as
well
to
make
sure
of
those
things.
I
just
want.
V
Also,
people
to
understand
that
being
a
veteran
is
an
honorable
and
incredible
thing,
but
you
do
struggle
financially
and
my
family
did
struggle
financially
when
my
mother
got
on
the
of
the
Air
Force,
and
so
it's
important
that
we
not
only
see
these
not
just
as
benefits
but
as
earned
earned
real
resources
that
these
individuals
need
to
continue
and
to
serve
our
country.
I'm
again,
gonna
commend
my
mother
for
her
service,
but
also
what
she
continues
to
do.
Veterans
reach
out
to
each
other.
V
A
A
Thank
You
councillor
Edwards
and
Thank
You
councillor
Flynn
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
your
family
is
here.
I
thought
you
were
gonna,
say
that
but
they're
here
they're
in
the
building
they're
in
the
chamber.
So
thank
you
to
the
former
first
lady
of
the
City
of
Boston
and
your
wife
and
your
daughter.
Thank
you
guys.
A
If
councillor
Flynn
didn't
see
it
today,
he
does
say
it
often
he
loves
his
family
and
he
knows
that.
You
know
you
can't
we
don't
get
here
alone
without
the
support
of
our
loved
ones
and
our
family
and
I
see
your
daughter,
I
just
saw
recently
somewhere
else.
So
thank
you
guys
for
supporting
him,
but
also
for
being
here
on
this
special
day
at
this
time.
Okay,
at
this
time,
Duquette,
let's
see
doc
@
0,
9
8
6
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
Neighborhood
Services,
Veterans
and
military
affairs.
A
A
A
W
A
T
T
So
thank
you
to
the
administration.
I
want
to
thank
the
council,
president
and
former
council
president
for
their
partnership
on
this
I.
Think
having
the
perspective
of
folks
who
have
managed
the
council
from
an
administrative
perspective
and
seeing
all
the
rules
and
who's
interacting
with
counselors
and
staff.
It
has
been
very
helpful.
This
comes
about
as
an
ordinance
through
a
great
and
diligent
research
of
one
of
my
interns
Vinay,
who
is
a
law
student
at
Yale,
Law
School,
who
looked
at
every
other
single
municipalities,
lobbying
and
ethics
ordinances.
T
Many
of
them
have
based
it
off
of
model
legislation
that
this
ordinance
is
now
adapting
to
Boston
situation
and
I'll.
Leave
it
to
the
co-sponsors
to
say
more,
but
I
just
want
to
make
a
note,
because
there's
been
some
back-and-forth
in
the
media
about
you,
know:
Home
Rule,
petition
and
ordinance.
What
are
the
pros
and
cons
of
different
formats
and
I?
Think
for
me,
I
wanted
to
help
contribute
to
suggesting
language
for
something
that
we
could
implement
tomorrow
today
at
the
city
level.
T
That's
within
our
control,
because
it
is
about
setting
fair
and
a
level
playing
field
for
people
who
wish
to
do
business
with
the
city
and
influence
decisions
that
are
happening
that
have
impacts
at
the
city
level.
If
we
want
to
talk
about,
can
we
strengthen
the
penalties,
or
can
we
put
some
real
teeth
with
enforcement
by
an
independent
state
commission,
let's
pass
the
ordinance
and
then
we
can
do
an
additional
Home,
Rule
petition
that
adds
that
piece
to
it.
T
If
there's
conversation
about
tweaking
some
of
the
exemptions
to
tighten
up
this
language,
that
is
something
that
I
very
much
welcome,
but
I
think
having
an
ordinance
to
compare
and
hopefully
to
implement,
will
at
least
set
the
rules.
Make
sure
that
the
understanding
across
the
board
is
consistent
is
transparent,
is
accountable
and
again
helps
reinforce
public
trust
in
city
city
government
as
a
partner
to
what
we're
doing
with
community.
Thank
you.
R
You,
madam
president,
take
this
opportunity
to
commend
our
colleague
counsel,
who
and
her
staff
had
done
a
lot
of
the
heavy
lifting
on
this
as
well
as
you,
madam
president,
for
being
attentive
so
and
as
described.
We've
had
two
hearings
on
the
matter.
The
first
hearing
was
helped
back
on
January
17th
of
2017.
R
We
heard
from
from
Katie
King
and
Chris
English,
who
had
testified
on
behalf
of
the
administration,
and
at
that
hearing
there
was
a
whole
bunch
of
procedural
and
legal
questions
that
were
brought
up,
which
then
led
to
a
second
hearing
which
was
on
April
28th
of
2017.
At
that
hearing
we
heard
from
madam
Clerk
we
heard
from
Boston
Regional
Research
president
Sam
Tyler.
R
We
also
heard
from
former
House
Counsel
from
the
House
of
Representatives,
who
arguably
is
probably
the
the
most
knowledgeable
about
the
subject
matter
that
was
Lou,
Rizzoli
and
and
sort
of
we
kind
of.
We
continue
to
hit
a
conundrum
in
the
hearing
around
a
Home
Rule
petition,
but,
as
counsel
would
describe
that
the
ordinance
just
continued
to
sort
of
kind
of
rear
its
head,
as
that
might
be
a
potential
venue
or
opportunity
for
us
to
sort
of
solve
the
dilemma
that
we
kept
confronting.
So
it's
a
very
complex
matter.
R
We
have
through
counsel,
whose
office,
if
we've
looked
at
other
cities,
for
examples
as
to
how
to
present
an
implement
lobbyists,
regulations,
B
or
an
ordinance
versus
a
homo
petition.
We
heard
recommendations
say,
for
example,
same
tile:
I
thought
we
should
go
the
route
of
either
a
Blue
Ribbon
Commission
end
or
have
just
an
outside
independent
council
take
a
shot
at
so
we
run
the
gamut
and
I
just
thought
that
was
important.
R
Maybe
we
could
have
a
situation
where
we'll
have
a
working
session
and
we
literally
have
the
homo
petition
and
the
ordinance
right
in
front
of
us
and
colleagues
can
can
make
an
informed
decision
and
it
could
be
a
situation
where
it's
an
either/or
or
it
could
be
a
blended
version
that
we
might
be
able
to
amend
the
Home
Rule
petition.
So
it's
it's!
R
It's
it's
it's
for
everyone
to
decide
themselves
with
what
they
think
is
important,
appropriate
to
address
this
issue
and
welcome
everyone's
attendance
at
the
working
session
on
that
on
Monday,
so
appreciate
everyone's
time
and
attention
and
and
again,
congratulations
and
come
in
I
colleague,
counsel
for
a
great
job
and
I'm
grasping
the
audience
Thank
You.
Mr.
president,
Thank.
A
You
councillor
flirty
and
Thank
You
counsel
and
councillor
Flaherty
for
the
partnership,
and
thank
you
to
central
staff,
Christine
and
Michelle
for
offering
also
additional
support
and
getting
us
this
far.
You
know
we
we
want
a
government
that
is
transparent,
but
also
allows
us
to
be
more
accessible
and
to
hold
ourselves
accountable
and
for
the
public
to
hold
us
accountable,
and
in
order
to
do
that,
we
need.
A
We
need
to
do
something
in
this
space
and
I
agree
that
the
ordinance
or
I
agree
with
councilor
woo
I
think
that
the
ordinance
right
now
is
probably
the
best
route,
because
we
want
to
get
things
done
as
much
as
I
respect.
My
colleagues
in
the
State
House,
sometimes
home
petitions
can
take
long
time
and
if
we're
serious
about
transparency,
accessibility,
accountability,
this
I
think
is
the
best
Avenue
to
go.
So
thank
you
again
to
council,
woo
and
councillor
priority
for
your
leadership
on
this.
Anyone
else
wishing
to
speak
on
this
matter.

Campbell,
please
be
advised
that
I
will
not
be
in
attendance
at
the
Boston
City
Council
meeting
on
Wednesday
June

Please

this
matter
into

Thank
you
sincerely.
Frank

Boston
City
Councilor
district
3,
the.
W
Wonderful,
thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank
You
colleagues.
I
will
be
brief,
because
there's
really
not
much
to
say
on
this
subject.
You
know
I'm
heartened
by
recent
news
in
the
last
hour
that
the
president
claims
to
be
planning
to
sign
something
and
I
say
something
quotations,
because
that's
exactly
what
he
said
to
end
these
policies.
That's
not
enough!
It's
outrageous
that
these
policies
were
put
in
place
to
begin
with
that,
at
a
border
of
the
United
States,
we
have
our
government,
our
law
enforcement
agencies,
separating
families,
locking
them
up
locking
children
up
literally
in
cages.
W
Some
of
the
discussion
I've
seen
in
the
past
days
and
weeks
about
this,
have
drawn
appropriate
parallels,
I
think
between
the
actions
of
Nazi
Germany
between
the
actions
of
other
totalitarian
states.
Racist
states
throughout
our
history
and
I
am
frankly
ashamed
that
the
United
States
government
has
been
doing
this
at
all,
never
mind
where
we
are
today
that
there
are
nearly
2,400
immigrant
children,
including
babies,
toddlers
who
have
been
separated
from
their
families.
W
We
need
to
continue
moving
on
this
and
the
reason
there
has
been
even
a
little
bit
of
a
glimmer
of
a
change
by
this
president
on
this
issue
is
because
of
actions
like
well
that
we're
gonna
take
today
on
this
resolution:
City
Council's,
Town,
Council's
representatives,
individuals,
the
hundreds
or
even
thousands,
unfortunately,
as
a
protests
happening
right
now
that
we
cannot
be
standing
with
because
we're
here
outside
the
Statehouse
talking
about
this,
these
are
happening
around
the
country.
This
makes
a
difference.
This
makes
a
difference.
What
we're
doing
and
I
know
people
talk
about.
W
Sometimes
this
is
not
a
city
issue.
This
is
a
city
issue.
There
are
immigrants
document
and
undocumented
in
our
community
in
the
city
of
Boston
who
are
affected
by
this.
As
someone
whose
family
came
here
as
refugees
from
another
totalitarian
regime
agenda
two
generations
ago,
fleeing
Nazi
Germany,
it
certainly
does
strike
home
while
things
we
like
to
think
about
the
United
States
being
a
better
place,
having
more
of
a
higher
values
being
a
place.
To
so
called.
W
I'll
stop
here,
because
I
go
on
and
on
about
how
disgusted
I
am
by
this
inhumane
behavior.
How
ashamed
I
am
that
this
is
being
done
in
all
of
our
names
by
the
United
States
government.
So
we
asking
this
to
spend
and
adopt
this
and
I.
Think
and
I
hope
that
actions
like
this
one,
no
long
would
be
necessary,
but
sadly
I
fear
that,
given
the
Trump
administration
and
their
actions,
we're
gonna
be
continually
talking
about
issues
like
this
here
in
the
Boston
City
Council
and
across
the
country.
W
So,
thank
you
and
I
want
to
thank
councillors,
Wu
and
Presley
for
helping
put
this
together
and
our
staffs
and
in
such
short
order.
I
will
say
it's
probably
one
of
the
easier
resolutions
we
wrote
because
there's
no
nothing
to
argue
about
here.
There
is
only
one
answer
on
this
question,
so
thank
you
very
much.
Madame
president.
F
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you,
CalSTRS
a
command
Wu
for
applying
rule
12
so
that
I
could
join
you
on
this.
You
know:
do
I
think
that
this
resolution
that
will
affirm
as
a
body
today,
will
reverse
the
hurt
of
this
racist,
cruel
and
inhumane
policy.
That
is
basically
a
mandate
and
child
abuse
and
the
separation
of
families,
probably
not.
F
But
while
we
are
in
this
new
world
Academy
of
figuring
out
how
to
resist
and
how
to
progress
at
the
same
time,
it's
important
that,
while
we're
outraged
about
what
is
happening
at
the
border,
that
we
take
advantage
of
the
opportunity
before
us
locally
to
progress
and
to
advance
and
to
actualize
it
to
codify
our
values,
and
that
means
passing
the
Safe
Communities
Act.
That
means
ensuring
that
TPS
recipients
have
driver's
licenses.
F
Ostensibly,
you
know
we
are
losing
our
global
standing
in
the
world
because
we
are
losing
our
compassion,
our
inability
to
see
the
humanity
in
one
another,
and
increasingly
we
are
becoming
isolationist
when
you
think
of
those
images
at
the
g7
summit.
But
not
only
are
we
saying
we're
gonna
go
it
alone,
but
we're
asking
when
everyone
else
in
this
country
to
do
the
same
thing.
You
go
it
alone.
F
It
flies
in
the
face
of
and
contradicts
every
promise
an
ideal
of
this
country,
and
it
is
sad-
and
it
is
infuriating
but
I'm,
proud
to
serve
on
this
body
with
each
and
every
one
of
you
and
again
I.
Think
my
colleagues
for
the
opportunity
to
co-sponsor
this
resolution
with
you
and
to
continue
to
do
this
work
together
as
a
body
and
a
city
to
not
only
resist
what
is
coming
out
of
Washington
every
day
but
to
progress
locally,
because
there
are
plenty
of
opportunities
for
us
to
do
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
T
You,
madam
president,
I'm
not
going
to
say
much
on
this
one
I
just
wanted
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
co-sponsoring.
This
I
have
not
been
able
to
leave
the
house
the
last
couple
days
without
breaking
down
I'm
leaving
a
house
with
maybe
Babies,
dropping
mafia,
take
care
and
just
can't
help
see
all
of
us
who
care
about
little
ones
who
are
parents
who
are
caretakers
to
see
images
of
little
ones
being
ripped
away
from
their
families.
It's
just.
T
We
cannot
stand
for,
and
you
know
this
is
just
one
more
example
of
a
policy
that
is
designed
to
distinguish
between
who
deserves
to
be
in
this
country
and
who
doesn't
who
deserves
to
have
access
to
the
opportunities
that
should
be
saved
for
the
to
look
a
certain
way
or
come
from
a
certain
background
and
I
just
I.
Think
for
me.
T
This
has
truly
shaken
me
to
the
core
that
you
have
decision,
makers
and
policy
makers
who
do
not
recognize
the
humanity
of
us
and
the
ability
to
see
your
own
baby
is
reflected
in
the
toddlers
that
are
being
taken
away
from
their
families
that
are
poor
life
being
impacted
in
this.
Incredibly
cruel
way
so.
T
I'm
glad
that
the
council
is
taking
the
stand,
I
thought
it
was
important.
You
know
I
tend
not
to
do
resolutions
that
may
not
affect
direct
city
business,
but
in
this
case
this
is
personal.
This
is
about
our
kids.
This
is
about
our
families
and
this
is
not
an
isolated
incident,
so
whatever
we
can
do
as
we're
thinking
about
our
city
is
home
to
babies
and
kids
and
families
who
come
to
seek
that
safety.
That
vision
of
the
American
dream,
we
have
a
lot
in
our
own
lives
personally
and
professionally.
Thank
you.
T
That
we
could
be
working
on
with
even
more
urgency
every
day,
so
I
love.
All
of
you
guys.
I
know
that
our
our
hearts
are
all
in
the
same
place
and
miraculously
it
seems
to
have
gotten
to
the
president
and
his
advisors
that
we
were
going
to
do
this
today,
but
much
more
to
come
and
and
I
just
appreciate
you
all
so
much
that
it's
not
a
question
today.
T
Q
You,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
to
my
colleagues,
certainly
for
their
emotional
and
passionate
this
morning.
I
was
sick
at
the
beginning
of
the
week,
but
I
couldn't
figure
out
why
I
was
also
angry
and
tired
and
frustrated,
but
I.
Think
mostly,
my
emotion
was
angry
about
what
was
happening
and
I
thought
a
lot
and
I
think
a
lot
since
this
President
took
office
about
my
own
family's
experience.
Q
Many
of
you
know
that
my
mother
was
born
in
a
displaced
persons
camp.
My
grandfather
was
a
POWs,
a
part
of
the
Polish
Army.
My
grandmother
worked
in
a
labor
camp
in
Germany
and
although
she
was
young
by
the
time
she
left
that
camp,
the
hints
in
the
the
hint
of
the
memory
has
had
a
tremendous
impact
on
her
experience
growing
up
here
in
the
United
States
and
although,
as
a
toddler,
she
was
living
in
a
camp.
She
was
with
my
grandparents.
They
were
never
separated.
Q
She
came
to
the
United
States
in
a
very
different
way.
She
was
welcomed.
She
was,
you
know,
came
here
with
her
family
and
although,
although
they
had
challenges
with
language
and
with
getting
settled
in
the
United
States,
they
were
welcomed
and
we
did
that
as
a
country
and
to
have
such
and
my
dad
had
a
little
bit
of
a
different
experience
coming
to
the
United
States
as
an
Arab
a
little
bit
later
in
time.
Q
But
they
were
given
this
opportunity
that
we
are
ripping
from
from
these
people
today,
not
post-world
War,
two,
not
post-world
War
One
today
in
2018,
so
I
think
about
this
very
different
experience
that
my
mother
and
my
grandparents
had
and
what
we're
doing
today
to
people
into
their
children
coming
to
the
United
States
again
for
a
greater
opportunity.
The
reason
that
my
grandparents
came
United
States
for
my
grandmother
for
my
mother
and
for
for
their
grandchildren.
Q
We
have
to
figure
this
out
and
the
fact
that
we
are
collectively
as
a
nation
standing
on
the
same
platform
and
still
but
maybe
not
falling
on
deaf
ears.
It
is
frustrating
it's
upsetting,
it's
maddening
and
it
it.
It
boggles
my
mind
that
we're
even
having
our
conversations
about
this,
we
should
be
talking
about
city
services.
Q
We
should
be
talking
about
potholes
and
instead
we're
discussing
immigration
policy
and,
if
has
been
fouled
up
at
the
national
level,
to
the
point
where
City,
Council's
and
town
committees
across
the
United
States
have
to
take
a
leadership
role,
it's
it's
backwards
its
backwards
and
it's
2018.
Thank
you
and
please
add
my
name.
Thank
you.
A
U
You
Thank
You
council
president.
Thank
you
to
council
is
akin
to
council
rule
and
council
Presley
for
hovering.
This
resolution
I
joined
my
colleagues
and
supporting
our
federal
representatives
in
their
efforts
to
end
these
policies
that
we
are
seeing
play
out
on
the
nightly
news.
Children
are
being
separated
from
their
parents
with
no
plan
on
how
to
reunite
families.
Let
us
never
forget.
We
are
a
nation
and
city
of
immigrants.
U
We
all
see
immigrants
every
day
contributing
to
our
city,
making
it
vibrant.
They
help
to
make
a
part
of
the
fabric
of
our
neighborhoods.
They
work
hard,
they
pay
taxes,
they
raise
families,
they
volunteer
in
our
neighborhoods.
They
coach,
Little
League.
They
are
our
parents,
grandparents
and
their
young
children.
People
from
all
over
the
world
come
here,
come
to
Boston
in
search
of
a
better
life
for
themselves
and
their
children,
often
seeking
asylum
as
a
flea
gangs
and
violence
in
their
home
countries.
U
Boston
is
a
better
city
because
of
our
immigrant
roots.
The
plaque
as
council
is
a
convention.
The
plaque
at
the
base
of
the
Statue
of
Liberty
reads:
give
me
your
tired,
your
poor,
your
huddled
masses,
yearning
to
be
to
be
free.
Those
are
great
words
that
the
council
highlighted
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
the
immigrant
gateway
memorial
in
front
of
City
Hall
that
my
family
was
proud
to
dedicate
many
years
ago.
U
P
G
G
Obviously,
it's
reprehensible,
it's
vile,
it's
disgusting,
it's
heart-wrenching,
it's
heartbreaking
and
it's
not
American,
it's
an
American
and
it's,
as
has
been
said
by
all
of
you
and
words,
far
more
eloquent
than
my
own
I
mean
this
is
this
is
wrong
and
we
shouldn't
be
talking
about
this,
but
we
have
to
I've
been
a
critic
in
the
past
when
this
body
has
has
gone
in
sort
of
off
topic,
but
this
is
a
new
time
we
live
in.
This
is
a
new
world.
We
live,
and
we
have
to
do
this.
G
We
have
to
reaffirm
it,
it's
not
going
to
change
anything
other
than
it
will
show
and
it
will
be
hopefully
replicated
by
other
cities
in
other
states
to
say
that
this
is
wrong.
This
isn't,
who
we
are
obviously
I,
asked
that
my
name
be
added
and
look
forward
to
voting
in
the
affirmative
on
this
today
and
I
I.
G
Don't
I
just
don't
know
what
else
to
say:
I,
like
all
of
you
have
been
watching,
the
news
I've
been
listening
to
the
audio
tape
of
children
crying
of
infants
crying
for
their
parents,
my
god,
this
this
seems
surreal.
Sadly,
it
is
not.
It
is
happening,
it's
happening
in
the
United
States
of
America
because
of
a
misguided
in
an
in
a
cruel
administration
that
is
using
this
as
a
political,
wedge
issue.
G
Donald
Trump
is
using
this
as
a
wedge
issue,
just
like
he
did
with
NFL,
just
like
he
did
with
Colin
Kaepernick,
just
like
he
always
does,
and
he's
going
to
I'm
sure
use
this
as
an
opportunity
to
either
make
a
play
for
some
other
foolish
idea
folly
that
he
continues
to
do
or
he's
going
to
use
it
to
fire
Robert
Muller
this
week,
because
as
a
society,
we're
focused
on
something
else,
and
this
is
exhausting.
This
administration
is
exhausting,
but
we
have
to
fight.
G
A
Clerk,
if
you
could
add,
counsel,
O'malley
and
just
quickly
also
think
counselor,
Zakim,
counselor,
woo,
councilor,
Pressley
and
I
know.
Even
if
we
didn't
have
this
resolution,
we
couldn't
have
let
this
council
meeting
go
by
without
talking
about
it.
We
started
my
team
meeting
on
Monday
having
this
difficult
conversation
and
as
a
mother
as
a
Bostonian
as
a
Christian
and
a
believer
and
as
a
leader
of
a
very
diverse
team
with
similar
experiences
to
the
children
we're
talking
about.
A
A
Present
as
if
they
don't
care
about
this
issue,
some
of
those
folks
are
in
our
families.
So
to
push
back
on
this
sense
of
powerlessness,
my
team
has
been
brainstorming
about.
How
can
we
show
up
to
make
a
difference
and
I?
Think
it's
one
having
conversations
like
this
in
this
body
and
I
know
that
every
single
member
of
this
council
shares.
A
This
country
has
a
dark
history
and
so
I
think
about
the
folks
who
have
either
been
Irish
or
Italian
coming
to
the
city
of
Boston,
where
they
were
excluded
or
african-americans
or
those
who
identify
as
LGBTQ
or
anyone
who
identifies
as
other
being
excluded
and
how
far
we've
come
for
those
folks
but
I
also
mindful
of
the
trauma
that
may
be
triggered
within
them.
By
watching
what's
happening,
I,
don't
watch
TV
anymore.
We've
gotten
rid
of
cable
I,
think
it's
total
waste
of
time.
A
I
recommend
it,
but
I
know
that
we'll
make
it
through,
because
we
have
in
other
dark
circumstances
and
I
hope
that
each
of
you
thinks
of
a
way
in
which
to
make
a
difference
and
I
think
there's
some
small
ways
that
we
may
not
even
be
thinking
about.
So
thank
you
again.
The
counselors
a-come
council
rule
and
councilor
Pressley
for
your
leadership
here.
A
Thank
you
to
all
of
my
colleagues
for
your
leadership
and
thank
you
to
all
of
our
team
members,
whether
you're
permanent
employees,
interns,
central
staff
or
city
employees
who
care
deeply
about
this
issue,
and
we
obviously
would
allow
everyone,
probably
here
to
say
something
on
this
because
I
know
everyone
cares
about
this
issue.
So
thank
you
for
showing
up
to
this
building
every
single
day
to
do
the
work
in
the
face
of
this
ugliness.
A
Thank
you
for
leaving
your
homes
and
Thank
You
Council,
for
leaving
and
being
here
to
do
the
work
to
make
a
difference
for
these
families
and
I'll.
Leave
it
at
that.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
incredible
folks
in
front
of
us
for
the
work
that
you
guys
do.
I
know
that
this
is
I'm
also
affecting
them
as
well.
So
at
this
time,
councilor
is
a
compress
Lee
in
Wu
are
asking
for
suspension
of
the
rules.
A
Yes,
if
you
could
add
my
name,
they're
asking
for
suspension
of
the
rules
and
adoption
of
the
second
late
file
matter,
this
resolution,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it.
The
resolution
has
been
adopted
at
this
time.
I
wish
we
could
just
move
on,
but
we
cannot
we're
gonna
move
on
to
the
green
sheets.
Is
anyone
wishing
to
remove
a
matter
from
the
green
sheets?
Oh
councilor,
Pressley?
Oh
sorry,
councillor
booth,.
L
F
B
A
T
You
I
have
learned
in
this
new
role
as
committee
chair
about
jitney
you
licenses,
and
he
was
good
to
be
talking
about
that
now.
So
I
want
to
clarify,
because
the
very
first
jitney
hearing
that
I
had
convened.
We
heard
from
two
different
petitioners
this
one
limo
liner
was
for
the
route
to
operate
between
back
Bay
near
the
circle,
furniture
on
Stewart
Street
and
our
sorry,
st.
James
Street
see
James,
Ave
and
Framingham
and
the
office
park
out
there.
T
The
petitioner
came
to
the
hearing
with
support
from
the
business
owner
that
he
would
be
operating
picking
up
passengers
in
front
of,
as
well
as
with
support
from
the
local
transportation
management
authority
out
in
the
Framingham.
You
know
that
area
that
testified
to
the
need
for
a
more
direct
route.
While
there
is
commuter
rail
service
to
the
commuter
rail
station
in
Framingham,
it's
an
additional
20
minute
drive
between
that
station
and
the
office
park,
and
so
there's
significant
interest.
T
We
talked
about
all
sorts
of
conditions
on
where
the
bus
would
idle,
whether
there
be
fully
accessible
to
people
with
a
wheelchair
or
mobility
disability.
And
since
then
the
petitioner
has
followed
up
by
reaching
out
to
to
neighborhood
associations
that
we
recommended
and
doing
additional
follow-up
with
the
Transportation
Department
and
the
police
department.
A
You
councillor
rule
just
for
the
record.
We
read
in
the
wrong
docket
so
to
correct
the
record,
the
docket
that
we
are
actually
discussing
his
docket
zero
seven
one,
eight,
not
0
8
4
2,
so
that
is
the
docket
that
is
should
be
before
the
council
and
so
at
this
time,
counsel
Wu,
who
is
the
chairman
of
the
committee
on
Planning
development
and
transportation
represent,
recommends
passage
of
docket
0,
7,
1
8.
A
A
How's,
the
feeling
do
you
want
to
say
a
few
words
under
socket:
okay,
Thank
You,
council
whoo.
At
this
time,
council
rule
a
chairman
of
the
committee
on
Planning
development
and
transportation,
recommends
passage
of
docket,
0,
7,
1
8,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
haven't
docket
zero.
Seven
one
eight
has
been
passed.
A
Moving
on,
I
am
informed
by
the
clerk
that
we
have
four
late
file
matters
which,
in
the
absence
of
objection,
will
be
added
to
the
consent
agenda
hearing
and
seeing
no
objection.
The
forward
late
file
matters
are
added.
The
chair
moves
at
this
time
for
to
adopt
the
consent
agenda.
All
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it.
The
consent
agenda
has
been
adopted,
councilor
Pressley.
You
have
the
floor.
F
Yes,
okay,
I'll,
be
brief.
I
must
concede
that,
throughout
this
meeting,
I'm
thinking
about
someone
who
would
have
enjoyed
every
element
of
this
meeting,
even
the
heartbreaking
moments
and
would
have
been
leaning
in
because
we've
talked
about
everything
that
he
dedicated
his
life
to
and
Betty
cared
about,
and
that
is
the
reverend
bill
leche
who
transitioned
this
past
sunday
and
they
just
a
force
of
life
and
in
ministry
and
community
mobilization
and
empowerment
I'm,
his
daughter,
Cynthia
lash.
Many
of
you
may
know
her.
F
As
soon
as
it
was
delivered,
he
read
the
globe
and
Dorchester
reporter
from
cover
to
cover
and
clipped
out
articles
for
future
reference
from
the
year
he
first
registered
to
vote.
He
voted
in
every
local
state
and
federal
election
and
often
worked
at
the
polls.
As
his
daughter,
Cynthia
les
Johnson
said
my
father
inspired
me,
along
with
many
others
to
be
a
leader.
He
always
led
by
example
by
helping
others,
regardless
of
the
circumstance
his
legacy
will
live
on
through
the
organizing.
F
We
will
continue
to
do
every
day
around
health
policy,
the
bold
teens,
the
hidden
heroes
and
she
rose
award
celebration
and
the
Codman
square
farmers
market.
Just
two
other
quick
things,
just
as
an
example
of
this
extraordinary
man
and
how
selfless
he
was
for
so
many
years,
twenty
seven
to
be
exact,
living
across
the
street
from
Cronin
Wainwright
Park
on
Wren,
Street,
Reverend,
dr.
bill,
leche
spent
time,
planting
flowers
and
trying
to
make
the
park
more
attractive
and
more
welcoming.
And
then
he
came
up
with
the
idea
to
name
the
park.
F
And
so
we
have
that
place
to
go
to
to
remember
him
and
to
build
community
whenever
we
so
choose
and
there
will
be
a
celebration
of
life
at
2nd,
Church,
Codman
square
600,
Washington
Street
in
Dorchester
on
Saturday
July,
14th
from
begining
visiting
hours
at
noon
and
the
service
will
begin
at
1
o'clock.
Again,
that's
on
Saturday
July,
14th,
dr.
A
Thank
you,
councilor
Pressley,
dr.
Reverend,
bill
leche
was
an
amazing
human
being.
He
was
a
district
4
resident
and
supported
me
from
the
very
beginning.
Apparently,
that
was
controversial,
had
the
honor
of
introducing
him
to
my
son
Alexander
before
he
passed
and
just
catching
up
and
making
sure
that
we
continued
to
do
the
hard
work
to
be
dedicated
to
bring
our
faith
into
the
work
and
he
demonstrated
what
that
looked
like.
He
was
an
incredible
human
being
and
he
leaves
behind
an
incredible
legacy
that
we
have
to
live
up
to
in
many
ways.
A
C
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
chair,
I
rise
to
ask
for
unanimous
consent
to
speak
so
certainly
want
to
offer
my
condolences.
Thank
you
for
that.
Warm
tribute,
quick
reminder
on
the
council
luncheon
that
I
am
hosting
for
you
immediately
after
this
meeting.
It's
getting
really
late.
Hopefully
you
have
an
appetite.
I
have
with
me
two
brothers,
Sheldon
and
Glenn
Lloyd,
who
are
entrepreneurs
I,
want
to
continue
that
rich
conversation
that
we
had
at
my
my
first
hearing
as
the
the
chair
of
small
business
and
then
I'd
also
like
to
make
a
brief
statement.
C
C
There
was
another
rally
this
morning,
proud
to
say
that
the
workers
who
were
terminated
last
week
have
been
reinstated.
I
was
joined
by
councilor
Pressley
at
that
rally
this
morning,
where
we
literally
escorted
workers
into
the
building.
So
we
know
that
they're
there
I
want
to
thank
my
colleague,
councillor
Flynn,
for
his
leadership
on
this
issue.
C
As
well
and
I
wanted
to
make
this
point
because
I
think
it's
really
easy
to
criticize
and
for
folks
to
kind
of
stand
on
the
sidelines
and
throw
stones
and
when
the
right
thing
happens,
I
think
it's
important
to
publicly
acknowledge
that.
So
I
also
want
to
thank
the
president
and
see
CEO
Frederico
Williams
for
her
leadership
and
all
of
this
and
look
forward
to
a
partnership
with
the
health
center.
R
Just
rise
to
make
a
brief
statement
regarding
someone:
that's
on
the
hospital,
so
on
behalf
of
all
of
us
here,
the
city
can
also
have
a
seat.
Madam
clerk,
who
had
served,
and
also
a
former
councillor
former
mayor
and
former
ambassador
to
the
Vatican
ray
Flynn,
who
also
served
with
John
Nucci,
so
I
just
want
to
give
some
heartfelt
well
wishes
to
John
who's
recovering
at
the
Mass
General
Hospital
for
life-saving
kidney
surgery,
I
was
probably
watching
I
think
Matt
would
probably
attest
to
that.
R
He
probably
watching
us
master
no,
but
but
also
to
use
the
phrase
that
we
hear,
suppress
the
use
off
at
about
oshiro
and
also
really
senate.
Congratulations
to
that
young
woman,
Carrie
Abrams,
who
was
a
family
friend
of
John,
who
actually
gave
the
gift
of
life
that
allows
John
to
hopefully
gain
one
of
1%
health
and
recovery,
so
so
best
wishes
to
him,
and
also
congratulations
in
the
thanks
to
to
that
young
woman,
Carrie
Abrams
Thank.
A
R
R
A
A
Thank
you
Michael
for
being
here,
as
we
talk
about
just
connection
in
this
chamber,
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
you
Michael
for
just
consistently
being
here
and
being
a
part
of
these
discussions,
really
appreciate
you
and
then
just
a
couple
of
technical
things
before
we
move
on
in
terms
of
hearings
and
I.
Just
this
we
had
some
hiccups
earlier
in
the
week.
A
In
addition,
if
you
are
going
to
schedule
another
hearing
that
follows
a
different
chairs
hearing,
if
you
guys
could
touch
base
with
each
other
to
get
a
sense
of
how
long
that
person
thinks
the
hearing
might
last
so
that
when
you
schedule
yours,
it
all
can
run
smoothly
and
then
lastly,
I'll
add
in
terms
of
presentations.
We
all
love
presentations,
I,
know
that
folks
plan
their
schedule
as
best
they
can
when
they
get
the
agenda
and
they
want
to
run
out
of
here
and
they
have
engaged
with
engagements
after
the
council
meeting.
A
So
we'll
probably
go
back
to
the
council
rule
of
limiting
it
to
and
whoever
pings
us
first,
we
will
do
those
two
presentations
and
we'll
push
it
off
to
the
next.
So
those
are
just
some
housekeeping
things
and
thank
you
to
central
staff
for
maneuvering,
a
lot
of
hearings
that
have
been
happening
these
past
couple
of
weeks.
It's
been
a
lot,
so
thank
you
to
central
staff
and
moving
on
to
memorials.
If
everyone
could
please
rise.
A
And
I
think
it's
appropriate
to
to
acknowledge
that
today
is
World
Refugee
day
and
a
member
of
my
team
flagged
it
for
me,
and
this
was
a
day
declared
by
the
United
Nations
and
given
what
we're
talking
about.
I
thought.
It
was
important
to
recognize
that
at
this
time
we're
going
to
adjourn
today's
meeting
in
memory
of
the
following
individuals
for
council,
Mally,
Kathleen,
Smith,
Vince
and
Ryan
for
councillor
co-moh,
Alphonse,
fresco
for
councillor
sabe
George
and
councillor
Baker,
william
fenton,
for
councilor
Pressley,
Michael
Connolly,
and
for
the
entire
council,
dr.
A
Thank
you
at
this
time
that
counts
the
chair,
moves
that
when
the
council
adjourns
today
it
does
so
in
memory
of
those
aforementioned
individuals,
we
were
scheduled
to
meet
again
in
this
chamber
at
Boston
City
Hall
on
Wednesday
June
27th
at
noon.
All
those
in
favor
of
adjournment,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it.
The
councillors
adjourned.
