A
B
Keen
to
do
their
best
hear
these
words
of
the
Athenian
Pericles
I
would
have
you
day
by
day
fix
your
eyes
on
the
greatness
of
your
country
until
you
become
filled
with
love
for
her
and
when
you
are
impressed
by
the
spectacle
of
her
glory
reflect
that
it
has
been
acquired
by
men
and
women
who
knew
their
duty
and
had
the
courage
to
do
it
and
these
words
of
the
Hebrew
psalmist.
Let
the
people
give
praise
O
God
of
all
the
nations.
C
They
visited
Chinatown
in
the
downtown
area,
they
had
over
400
volunteers
and
they
helped
clean
the
street.
They
did
some
work
in
our
schools
and
they're
a
great
neighbor.
There
were
great
corporate
neighbor.
They
provide
a
lot
of
feet,
a
lot
of
help
back
to
our
city.
It
was
an
honor
to
join
them
and
join
mayor
Walsh
in
in
helping
helping
our
neighborhoods,
but
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Comcast

a
a
great
day
of
volunteering
in
our
neighborhoods
and
it's
it's
an
honor
to
have
you

the
city.
D
It's
an
honor
to
be
here.
Thank
you

much

the
work
that
we've

It's

of

Boston
Comcast

So

E
Quickly
want

staying
with
us
throughout
the
morning
and
then
continuing
on
through
lunch.
He
was
there.
The
whole
time
had
a
great
exchange
with
our
senior
executives
that
came
up
from
Philadelphia
and,
of

as
the
council
said,
mayor
Walsh
who
joined
us,
he
came
in
on
two
wheels.
E
It
was
the
morning
for
youth,
baseball
ceremonies
and
kicks
kickoffs,
and
we
know
how
busy
you
all
are
in
the
morning
and
the
mayor,
and
he
took
the
time
to
say
some
kind
words
to
kick
off
the
let's
call
em
festivities,
and
for
that
we're
grateful.
They
were
grateful
for
the
council
and
many
you
know
a
view
that
we've
done
work
publicly.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank

communities,
so
Thank

The

Thank.
I
You,
madam
president,
doctor
zero
one
zero
one
was
sponsored
by
the
mayor
and
referred
to
the
Committee
on
January
24th
of
2018
and
docket
zero,
nine,
eight
seven
as
an
ordinance
amending
chapter
two
of
the
city,
boston
code.
That
was
sponsored
by
counsel,
woo,
council,
president
campbell
and
myself,
and
that
matter
is
referred
to
the
Committee
on
june
20th
in
their
original
proposals,
both
dockets,
to
find
an
outline,
the
manner
in
which
lobbyists
are
allowed
to
interact
with
city
hall,
along
with
elaborating
on
process
fees
and
penalties.
I
However,
the
difference
between
the
proposals
include
the
original
home
petition
allowed
for
either
the
city
clerk
or
the
commission
or
commission
appointed
by
the
mayor
and
approved
by
the
council
to
be
the
local
enforcement
entity,
whereas
the
ordinance
calls
for
the
city
clerk
to
be
the
local
enforcement
entity.
The
home
rule
calls
for
registration
and
reporting
requirements
twice
a
year,
while
the
ordinance
calls
for
four
times
a
year.
I
I
Many
factors
were
brought
to
light,
including
whether
to
address
this
manner
is
a
Home
Rule
petition
or
an
ordinance
whether
to
have
the
city's
clerk's
office,
be
the
local
enforcement
entity
or
to
create
an
independent
commission
that
would
provide
oversight
while
the
Home
Rule
petition
goes
beyond
state
requirements,
but
it's
based
on
state
requirement.
It
does
not
necessarily
take
into
effect
how
City
business
is
conducted
and
or
what
constitutes
lobbying,
what
data
collection
technology
would
be
necessary
to
implement
the
tracking
system.
I
The
Superior
Court
case
Gibbons
at
all
versus
William
Galvin,
which
reviewed
the
interpretation
application
of
direct
Business
Association
with
public
officials
also
how
at
the
moment,
lobbyists
are
required
to
register
once
a
year
by
filing
a
letter
with
the
city's
clerk
that
states
the
nature
of
their
business
registration
and
reporting
requirements
under
this
proposal
tended
to
be
burdensome
and
also
other
agencies.
Would
needed
would
be
needed
to
be
brought
in
for
enforcement
potential
issues
when
lawyers
are
working
on
project
specifically
when
registering
and
reporting
requirements
would
violate
the
attorney-client
privilege.
I
And
finally,
the
proposal
should
reflect
the
needs
of
how
business
is
conducted
in
the
city.
We
compared
and
contrasted
both
proposals
revisit
many
of
the
discussion
topics
from
hearings
and
found
that,
while
both
proposals
have
similar
intents,
that
made
sense
to
move
forward
with
the
ordinance
in
terms
of
registration
and
reporting
requirements
with
the
clerk's
office
being
the
enforcement
entity
and
then
proceed
with
the
Home
Rule
petition,
which
enables
the
Attorney
General
to
enforce
the
penalties.
I
So
what
we
have
before
us
are
two
new
drafts
of
both
dockets
doctored
0
1
0
1
shall
maintain
the
enforcement
provisions
section
5
of
the
Home
Rule,
as
originally
filed
by
the
mayor,
giving
the
Attorney
General
in
the
jurisdiction
to
impose
criminal
sanctions,
as
well
as
increased
monetary
penalties
up
to
10
thousands
to
the
effective
date
which
will
be
changed
upon
passage
and
then
also
docket,
0

would
provide
the
transparency
in
government
by
requiring
registration
and
reporting
of
lobbying
activities,
while
recognizing
how
the
city
actually
functions.
I
So
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
obviously
yourself
and
council
Lou
for
your
time
and
talents
around
helping
with
the
ordinance
as
long
as
well
as
christine
michele
from
central
staff.
They
did
tremendous
work
on
redrafting,
the
definitions
and
really
taking
a
hard
look
and
trying
to
guess
morph,
both
you
and
into
the
whole
new
petition
into
each
other,
and
also
acknowledge
the
administration's
leadership
and
partnership
on
this
I.
Finally
get
to
go
to
an
event
and
not
have
the
mayor
say
you
know:
what
are
we
doing
on
this
one?
I
I
It
was
invaluable
as
well
so
I'd
like
to
revisit
the
matter
of
looking
at
the
resources
allocated
to
the
clerk's
office
and
seeing
how
we
could
assist
in
enhancing
her
ability
and
to
give
her
the
necessary
infrastructure,
given
that
they'll
have
to
deal
with
an
additional
layer
of
responsibility
with
lobbyist
registration.
So
I
need
a
conversation,
I
guess
for
another
point,
or
we
can
have
a
discussion
around
what
implications
or
budget
impacts
that
will
have
on
her.
I
So
at
this
time
is
the
chair
of
government
operations
I'm,
recommending
that
darken
0
1
0
1,
but
issued
for
a
special
law
Act
to
regulate
lobbying
activities
for
the
city
of
Boston
and
dark
at
0,
9
8
7,
an
ordinance
amending
chapter
2
of
the
city
of
Boston,
coat
ordinances
regarding
lobbying
registration
regulation,
both
pass
and
new
drafts,
and
now
through.
The
chair
would
like
to
turn
it
over
to
my
colleague
counsel.
But
we
as
well
as
yourself.
I
It's
all-encompassing
in
terms
of
not
just
with
elected
officials
but
with
other
decision-makers
as
well,
and
also
working
with
the
administration
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
appropriate
level
of
teeth
and
enforcement
behind
those
that
either
don't
register
all
who
are
violating
sort
of
a
tenor
of
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
here.
So
spirit
of
cooperation,
I
think
provided
the
best
result
in
allowing
both
of
these
to
come
forward.
And
now
we
have
something
officially
that
we
can
move
forward
and
if
we
can
make
if
we
need
to
make
adjustments
along
the
way.
I
Based
on
what
we're
saying,
we
have
the
ability
to
now
do
that
through
the
ordinance
and
then
down
the
road.
When
that
home
rule
petitions
passes,
the
legislature
will
have
additional
tools
or
that
disposal.
So
I
appreciate
your
time
and
attention
and
I
look
forward
to
voting
on
it
today.
Thank
You
members.
J
You,
madam
president,
just
tries
to
thank
the
chairman
for
shepherding
this
through
over
multiple
years
now
the
couple
has
been
working
on
this
for
a
while
and
Madam
President
for
your
partnership
on
this
and
echo,
the
thanks,
particularly
to
Christine
and
Michelle
and
central
staff,
for
their
work.
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
also
for
pushing
this
conversation
and
I.
J
Think
we've
arrived
at
a
place
now,
where
I
feel
confident
that
there
are
strong
rules
in
the
ordinance
that
can
be
implemented
immediately
and
then,
as
the
chairman
said,
seeking
that
additional
ability
to
put
some
teeth
on
the
penalty
side
to
add
that
extra
deterrent.
For
me
this
is
this
is
a
clear
vote.
J
It's
about
insurance
insurance,
perón,
see
to
have
all
the
lobbyists
and
anyone
who's
attempting
to
influence
city
business
on
behalf
of
a
client
register
and
disclose
it's
about
creating
fairness,
so
that
there's
one
set
of
rules
that
everybody
plays
by.
But,
most
importantly,
it's
it's
really
about
reinforcing
public
trust
in
the
integrity
of
its
government.
At
a
time
when
that
is
being
questioned
every
day
in
different
ways.
J
Most
recently
like
the
short-term
rentals
ordinance
issues
like
the
cannabis
market
developing
and
who
has
access
to
these
licenses
and
then
the
day
to
day
of
development,
zoning
licensing,
small
businesses.
What
happens
at
the
city
level
is
different
from
what
happens
at
the
state
level.
It's
a
different
type
of
decision-making,
as
well
as
a
different
pace
of
decision
making.
So
I
am
happy
that
our
version
this
legislation
were
considering
today
has
more
frequent
reporting,
as
well
as
a
more
closely
tailored
set
of
language
to
city
business.
J
A
Thank
You
councillor,
Wu
I,
just
want
to
quickly
add
aye
Thank
You
councillor
clarity
for
your
leadership
on
this
and
counselor,
who
the
same.
Thank
you
to
Christine
and
Michelle
for
their
work
on
this
as
well,
and
thank
you
to
the
mayor
in
his
administration
for
turning
this
around
so
quickly
after
the
working
session
on
Monday.
You
know
this
is
a
bifurcated
approach
and
we
might
find
that
this
is
useful
to
other
policy
matters.
A
I
think
when
looking
at
the
ordinance
versus
the
home
rule,
the
biggest
part
of
the
discussion
was:
how
do
we
allow
ourselves
or
how
do
we
get
things
done
quicker
and
how
do
we
get
things
done
faster?
Sometimes
we
send
things
up
to
the
Statehouse
and
it
can
take
a
really
long
time
and
not
because
of
some
ill
intention.
It's
just
a
different
process
up
there.
A
I
will
add,
and
just
echoing
what
you
were
saying,
council
rule
I
think
this
levels,
the
playing
field
in
terms
of
access
to
power
and
allowing
folks
to
be
able
to
come
into
this
space
and
feel
as
though
whatever
they're
sharing
with
us
has
the
same
weight
as
someone
else
who
may
have
a
financial
interest
in
what
they're
telling
us.
So
I
think
this
was
a
great
compromise
and
look
forward
to
voting
in
the
affirmative
on
this.
So
thank
you
at
this
time.
Anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
these
dockets.
A
K
You,
madam
president,
it
is
a
well-worn
trope
that
the
definition
of
insanity
is
doing
the
same
thing
over
and
over
again
and
except
expecting
a
different
result.
I
am
profoundly
pleased
to
tell
you
that
council,
Pressey
and
I
have
been
doing
this
for
a
while,
and
we
did
indeed
get
a
different
result.
At
Monday's
hearing
we
had
a
tremendous
hearing
on
curbside
composting
with
Chris
Osgood
mayoral
panel.
Initially,
then
we
had
some
experts
and
academics.
We
had
Sarah,
which
is
a
cooperative
composting
company.
K
We
had
bootstrap
compost
to
start
up
from
Jabez
based
in
Jamaica
Plain,
which
now
is
2,000
clients
throughout
Boston
and
Greater
Boston,
and
it
really
underscored
the
desire
for
this
now.
I
know
we
have
a
lot
to
get
to
through
at
today's
meeting,
so
I
will
be
as
brief
as
I
can,
but
I
just
want
to
talk
about
sort
of
the
practical
reason
why
composting
is
important.
We
have
200
as
Bostonians.
We
discard
240
thousand
tons
of
trash
every
year
that
includes
recycling,
that
includes
yard
debris.
K
That
includes
regular
trash
and
it's
trash
day
in
my
house
today,
and
we
had
our
big
blue
bin
out.
Our
our
yard
waste
and
then
regular
trash
bags
so
to
about
240,000
tons
every
year
of
that
50,000
tons.
Our
yard
waste,
which
means
190,000
tons,
are
considered
trash
of
that
hundred
ninety
thousand
tons,
one-third
or
60,000
tons
or
our
organics.
They
can
be
composted.
Now
that
is
significant.
K
More
of
our
trash
that
can
be
composted
is
going
to
the
trash
right
now,
then,
are
come
significantly
more
10,000
tons
per
year
more
than
all
of
our
recycling.
So
we're
going
to
address
it
two
weeks
in
the
final
sort
of
math
equation
is
of
the
60,000
tons
of
organics.
40,000
tons
are
considered
food
waste
20,000
tons
are
created,
yard
waste.
K
Now
in
this
year's
in
the
budget,
that
is
the
last
year's
fiscal
budget,
through
efforts
of
council
McCarthy
and
I,
we
were
able
to
increase
the
number
of
yard
waste
pickups
that
will
be
increased
to
two
additional
weeks.
Next
year.
That's
gonna
go
to
20
weeks.
That's
gonna
help
with
the
yard
waste
pickup,
but
getting
more
compose
did
ya.
Organics
or
food
is
going
to
in
the
pipeline.
So
Chris
Osgood
said
that
there's
a
four-part
process
they're
looking
at
right
now
one
is
expanding
disposals.
K
The
other
is
expanding
project
Oscar,
which
has
worked
well,
but
it's
not
as
prevalent
as
it
should
be.
The
third
is
to
better
support
small
businesses
and
fourth-
and
this
is
what
I
was
most
excited
about-
figuring
in
how
we
can
have
a
city
lead
curbside
composting
program
now
I,
don't
want
to
get
up
hopes
too
high,
yet
it's
not
a
done
deal
yet,
but
they
are
doing
a
cost-benefit
analysis.
I
am
quite
confident
that
the
CBA
will
show
how
this
is
good
for
the
ratepayer.
K
A
tipping
fee
for
a
ton
of
trash
is
at
its
lowest
$70
per
ton.
So
of
those
two
hundred
and
forty
thousand
tons,
you
know
less
the
fifty
thousand
yard
way
so
190
thousand
tons
we're
paying,
on
average,
$70
per
ton
for
yard
for
a
typical
debris
and
trash
the
highest
tipping
point
for
organics
is
$35,
so
at
the
highest
market
for
or
the
best
consumer
market
for
trash
in
the
worst
consumer
market
for
organics
we
are
still
paying
double.
K
Thank
you
again
to
councillor
Presley
for
a
partnership
and
leadership
on
this
issue,
and
so
many
of
you
who
participated
I
asked
it
doesn't
matter
remain
in
committee
for
now
we're
gonna
check
in
again
towards
the
end
of
the
summer.
This
this
dovetails
nicely
in
Mayor
Walsh's
zero
waste
initiative,
but
this
is
something
that
I,
really
hope
can
be
can
be
implemented
the
not-too-distant
future.
K
We
also
just
as
a
point
of
caution,
heard
from
some
folks
about
some
of
the
shortfalls
with
Cambridge
and
other
municipalities
that
have
basically
put
some
of
the
composting
and
combined
it
with
with
sludge
and
it
doesn't.
It
doesn't
achieve
the
same
goal
that
we
want,
and
obviously
the
administration
and
all
of
us
are
united
to
make
sure
that
we
do
it
and
when
we
do
it,
we
will
do
it
right.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
know.
A
Thank
You
councillor,
Malley
counsel,
present.
You
want
to
speak
on
this
stuff.
Okay,

this
time,

2
through
zero

eight

sustainability

a
great
process.
I
think
I

Rodriguez,
who
I
put
a
lot
of
work
into
the
budget.
She
does
a
lot
more.
M
She
simplifies
the
process
for
me
so
forth,
so
so
much
and
then
also
central
staff,
especially
Kate
Sullivan,
and
the
work
that
she's
done
not
just
this
year,
but
year
after
year
after
year,
we
will
certainly
miss
her
expertise
and
her
knowledge
of
this
process.
Thank
You,
Kate
I
know
that
for
central
staff,
as
well
as
the
administration,
it's
not
easy,
working
with
13
different
offices
and
they
are
respective
and
they're
respected
respective
offices.
M
M
We
had
both
written
submission,
written
testimony,
in-person
testimony
and
then
a
round
of
video
testimony,
which
was
very
cool
and
a
great
way
great
way
to
include
them
and
I'd
like
to
thank
and
wish
well
kyandre
McClay,
who
is
the
school
committee
member
from
the
Boston
Student
Advisory
Council,
who
was
very
active
and
sort
of
preparing
for
that
for
that
process?
I
am
proud
to
say
that
I've
been
able
to
participate
in
all
the
FY
19
budget
hearings
and
as
a
counselor
at
large.
M
The
budget
process
is
an
important
time
to
reflect
on
all
the
issues
impacting
the
residents
of
the
city
of
Boston.
It's
also
an
opportunity
to
know
what
constituents
have
advocating
for
all
year-round
that
they
have
their
voice
during
this
process.
Although
it
doesn't
end
when
the
budget
cycle
ends,
it
continues.
It's
important
that
their
voices
are
are
part
of
this,
especially
as
I
think
of
my
work
as
chair
on
the
committee,
the
committee
for
education,
as
well
as
the
committee
on
homelessness,
mental
health
and
recovery.
M
M
We
need
30
additional
police
officers
as
well
as
the
new
Cadet
class
coming
in,
as
well
as
our
work
to
support
the
phasing
in
of
police
body,
worn
cameras,
we
also
need
to
fire
houses.
That's
great
I'm
really
excited
about
that.
That's
been
a
long
time
coming,
as
well
as
our
support
and
increase
an
investment
for
our
EMS
system,
both
of
the
ambulances
and
personnel
as
chair
of
the
Committee
on
homelessness,
mental
health
in
recovery.
M
I
applaud
the
1.8
million
dollar
investment
to
the
permanent
engagement
Center,
as
well
as
the
investment
we're
making
as
a
city
to
replace
the
Long,
Island
Bridge
and
the
work
that
needs
to
happen
out.
There
I'm
also
on
board,
with
investing
$250,000
to
add
to
recovery,
service,
youth
prevention
program
managers
and
know
that
we
need
to
in
order
to
respond
to
some
of
the
issues
around
homelessness,
double
the
size
of
the
DMV's
downpayment
assistance
program.
M
As
chair
of
the
Committee
on
education,
we're
making
some
great
investments
in
our
schools
I'm
excited
that
we
are
adding
student
facing
nurses,
psychologists
and
social
workers
to
our
classrooms
to
our
school
buildings.
Every
child
in
Boston
should
have
access
to
school,
based
professionals
that
will
account
for
their
health
emotionally
mentally
and
physically.
Although
we
are
not
fulfilling
the
commitment,
I
think
we
need
in
making
sure
that
one
nurse
is
in
every
building
that
we
do
have
school
psychologists
in
every
building,
as
well
as
guidance,
counselor's
and
social
work.
We've
got
work
to
do.
M
We
are
making
steps
in
the
right
direction
and
that
will
help
make
us
more
safe,
make
our
kids
more
safe.
Our
faculty
more
safe
and
I
am
relieved
that
we
are
responding
to
the
need
for
school
safety,
with
an
increase
from
the
initial
plans
of
2.4
million
dollars
to
five
million
dollars
in
the
capital
investment
to
upgrade
external
safety
measures
for
our
school
buildings,
including
door
locks
cameras
access
to
our
buildings.
These
are
great
achievements
in
all
worthy
of
support
and
celebration,
but
there's
still
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
M
For
example,
BP
billed
bps
continues
to
be
a
problem.
The
idea
of
upgrading
our
schools
is
great
and
it
is
needed,
but
the
process
is
a
mess.
There
is
a
desire
for
our
public
and
Transport,
transparent
conversation
and
I
hope,
after
the
approval
of
today's
budget,
that
bps
will
get
to
it.
That
spending
plan
needs
to
be
articulated
clearly
for
the
goals
and
the
projects
that
are
planned
over
the
next
10
years.
I
also
want
to
emphasize
the
need
to
right-size
the
best
clinicians
that
we
work
so
hard.
M
For
a
year
ago
we
were
worked
for
and
had
the
support
for
four
best
clinicians.
The
funding
didn't
help
us
realize
four
full
positions.
You
need
to
get
to
that
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
the
administration
in
this
upcoming
fiscal
year.
To
make
sure
that
happens.
We
also
need
a
plan
for
our
libraries
across
our
schools.
M
So
although
I
will
be
voting
YES
today,
there
is
still
work
to
be
done
and
I
look
forward
to
doing
it.
Doesn't
it
doesn't
end
because
we've
supported
the
budget
today
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you,
of
course,
the
the
chair
of
ways
and
means
through
our
work
and
in
all
of
our
committees,
to
get
this
done.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Thank.
K
You,
madam
president,
wise
men
recently
said
to
me:
remember
it's
not
your
money
and
that's
something
that
I
take
with
me
and
I
know
each
and
every
one
of
you
do
as
well.
This
is
the
most
important
role
that
we
have.
We
are
voting
today
on
a
three
point:
three
billion
dollar
budget
and
I
know
that
each
and
every
one
of
us
takes
that
responsibility
very
seriously.
We
all
participate
in
the
hearings.
We
all
ask
questions.
We
all
work
together.
K
We
try
to
advocate
for
issues
that
are
in
policies
they're
important
to
us-
and
this
is
this-
is
a
this-
is
a
very
important
day-
the
most
important
vote
we
take
each
and
every
year,
in
my
opinion,
having
said
that,
I
think
that
this
is
one
of
the
better
budgets
across
the
board
that
I
have
dealt
with
in
my
time
on
this
body.
It's
not
perfect,
there's
always
room
for
improvement.
Of
course,
there
is
I,
think
the
mayor
and
the
administration
would
agree
to
that
as
well.
K
But
this
is
a
sound,
solid,
fiscally
responsible
and
effective
budget,
and
it's
for
that
reason
that
I
will
be
voting
YES
on
the
operating
bps
and
the
capital
budget.
Very
briefly
wanted
to
thank
again,
of
course,
the
chairman
of
ways
and
means
consurtio
moe,
as
well
as
councillor
sabi
George,
who
was
at
his
left
every
time
and
particularly
central
staff,
for
the
great
work
that
they
did.
I'm
excited
to
see
and
invest
not
only
police
and
fire,
but
EMS
classes
as
well
I'm
excited
to
see
new
fire
houses.
K
The
first
time
new
fire
houses
have
been
built
in
the
city
and
I
think
my
lifetime,
or
close
to
it
transportation,
seeing
five
million
dollars
in
new
capital,
operational
funding
for
sidewalk
roadway
signals,
repair,
expanding
the
bike,
strategic
bike,
Network.
Finally,
getting
hub
way
or
blue
bike,
I
should
say
in
West
Roxbury
and
in
Roslindale.
Something
counts.
Mccarthy
and
I
are
delighted
to
see
seeing
this
city
lead
as
it
relates
to
addiction
services,
the
funding
of
the
Long
Island
Bridge
and
the
vision
and
the
development
of
a
long-term
recovery
campus.
K
That
is
significant,
and
that
is
something
that
I
am
among.
The
most
proud
to
vote
for
included
in
this
budget
housing
is
obviously
an
issue
and
I
see
some.
My
dear
friends,
we're
advocating
I
share
their
desire,
and
this
body
will
continue
to
push
for
councillors.
Acres
been
a
leader
on
this
on
city,
rent
subsidies,
but
they're
in,
and
we
don't
have
as
much
as
we
should.
K
We
don't
have
what
we
need
in
that
regard,
but
there
is
new
housing
through
IP
and
linkage
doubling
down
payment
assistance
program,
as
well
as
beefing
up
staff
to
make
sure
that
we
can
particularly
folk
on
focus
on
low
income
residents
and
seniors
as
well.
I
could
go
on
and
on
as
it
relates
to
what
how
we're
going
to
invent
in
parks,
invest
in
parks
and
playgrounds,
something
that's
very
important
to
me,
particularly
Millennium
Park
in
West
Roxbury
Jamaica
pond
in
Jamaica
Plain
how
we're
gonna
really
support
arts
and
culture.
This
is
some.
K
This
is
really
a
well
thought
out.
A
responsible
and
effective
budget
as
it
relates
to
bps
I,
think
seeing
the
need
demonstrated,
unfortunately
across
the
country,
in
our
real
support
of
clinicians
social
workers.
School
counselors,
not
just
guidance
counselor's,
but
people
adjustment
counselors
as
well
as
well
as
nurses,
is
a
significant
investment
in
bps
I'm
glad
to
see
that
I
have
had
issues
with
bps
in
the
past.
I
think
that
this
is
a
better
budget
than
we've
seen
I
think
it's
51
million
dollars
over
last
year,
but
there's
still
a
lot
of
work.
K
We
need
to
do
and
I'm
hopeful
that,
given
the
news
of
the
resignation
of
superintendent,
Chang
and
the
naming
of
an
interim
superintendent
and
then
a
final
superintendent
that
we
have
a
real
opportunity,
we
have
an
opportunity
and
I
am
hopeful
that
we
can
work
collaboratively
together
to
address
the
needs,
make
the
tough
decisions
work
together.
Most
importantly,
have
a
robust
ecumenical
process,
including
our
students,
including
our
parents,
including
the
folks
that
have
made
BPS
as
good
as
it
is.
K
We
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do,
but
these
budgets
are
going
to
help
us
get
there.
So
I
will
say
in
conclusion
that
given
sort
of
some
of
the
national
uncertainty
as
it
relates
to
the
economy
as
it
relates
to
trade
wars,
as
it
relates
to
seeing
the
national
debt
balloon
at
the
highest
level
since
World
War
two,
it
is
incumbent
upon
cities
to
truly
run
strong
in
responsible
budgets,
and
that
is
precisely
what
is
before
us
today.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
N
You,
madam
president,
I
wanted
to
first
thank
the
chair
of
the
committee
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
patience
for
your
guidance
for
your
mentorship.
You
had
mentioned
that
there
are
three
of
us
who
are
very
new
to
this
process
and
you
have
made
yourself
incredibly
available
to
I'm
sure
all
of
us,
but
especially
me
and
helping
me
understand,
what's
going
on
and
what's
the
point
of
all
of
this
beyond
advocacy,
but
looking
at
the
bigger
picture
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that
and
I
will.
N
Thank
you
in
advance
for
your
continued
mentorship
as
I'm
sure
I
will
need
it,
and
I
wanted
to
also
thank
the
central
staff
and
all
the
people
who
have
worked
incredibly
hard
again
to
actually
all
of
my
colleagues.
It's
the
conversations.
It's
the
guidance.
It's
the
perspective
that
you've
all
been
able
to
provide
that
I
am
incredibly
grateful
for,
and
this
is
my
first
budget
vote.
This
is
my
first
time
going
through
this
incredible
process
and
in
a
city
that
I
absolutely
love.
N
So
much
from
those
advocates
about
how
to
be
an
advocate
and
an
activist,
and
then
there's
the
political
me
that
looks
at
the
practical
realities
the
needs
in
my
district,
the
potholes
that
need
to
be
filled,
the
schools
that
need
the
funding,
the
master
plan
that
needs
to
happen
and
I
see
all
of
the
practical
things
that
need
to
happen
and
what
is
connected
to
this
budget.
So
I
didn't
sleep
last
night.
N
Thinking
about
how
my
advocate
me
would
be
so
disappointed
in
the
political
me
if
I
voted
YES
for
this
budget,
I,
look
at
this
budget
and
I
think
about
the
women
who
are
dealing
with
sexual
assault,
I
think
about
them
and
I
wonder
if
this
budget
truly
has
responded
to
that
need
and
that
cry
I
wonder
if
this
budget
is
a
true
response
to
the
fact
that
if
I
were
a
Boston
firefighter,
my
chances
of
sexual
assault
would
go
up.
Does
this
budget
respond
to
that?
That
is
my
question.
N
Is
there
a
sense
of
urgency
in
this
budget
to
that
and
yes,
the
numbers
may
be
small,
but
the
implications
are
huge.
We
are
not
talking
about
any
more
individual
pockets
of
money
that
go
to
deal
with
racism
or
training.
We
are
talking
about
a
true
commitment
from
this
administration
to
do
something,
and
it's
not
$500,000
worth
of
doing
something.
N
It
is
a
true
commitment
to
not
just
hire
women
and
people
of
color
to
stand
in
front
and
to
deal
with
the
systemic
issues
and
then
to
be
fired
if
they
don't
or
be
held
accountable,
if
they
don't,
when
the
real
question
is
in
the
system
that
we
have,
are
we
challenging
it?
Are
we
looking
at
the
list,
our
Reid
Amanda
Moore?
Yes,
we
have
an
issue
that
much
of
what
we
have
to
deal
with
is
state
level
I'm.
Looking
for
leadership
at
challenges
at
the
state
level.
N
Does
this
budget
does
this
reflect
that
the
answer
is
no,
and
so
the
question
I
have
again
with
all
of
the
good
things
that
my
colleagues
have
mentioned,
that
this
budget
does
looking
at
myself,
looking
at
the
Advocate
me
looking
at
how
I
would
look
at
these
women
these
women
who
look
and
talk
just
like
the
women
I
represented
just
two
years
ago,
this
sexual
harassment
victims,
the
nannies,
the
house
cleaners,
all
of
them
speak
in
the
same
voice.
It
doesn't
matter
the
title
or
the
job
that
they
have.
N
All
of
them
speak
with
the
same
fear,
concern
and
so
I
say
to
those
women
all
of
them
who
many
have
not
come
forward.
I
hear
you
I,
believe
you
and
I
want
this
budget
to
reflect
that
as
well.
I
say
this
to
all
of
the
folks
who
are
also
struggling
to
stay
in
the
city.
Financially
I
hear
you
I,
believe
you
I
see
you
I
will
fight
for
you
to
the
administration's
credit.
This
budget
does
demonstrate
a
step
towards
that.
N
G
You
Madam
President
I,
want
to
join
in
the
chorus
thanking
graduating
council
co-moh
on
another
successful
hearing
several
dozen,
as
this
is
the
norm
for
this
body,
as
we
do
dig
in
to
what
every
year
becomes
a
larger
and
larger
City
of
Boston
budget,
our
essential
staff
and
to
the
individual
staffs.
The
advocates
people
who
have
been
here
and
lent
their
voice
to
this
process
is
incredibly
important
for
us
and
certainly
for
me
to
understand
the
impacts.
I'm
pleased
with
some
of
the
additions
to
this
budget.
G
Some
of
the
things
we've
been
pushing
for
for
a
long
time
have
been
included.
Some
we're
not
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
his
budget
team
and
the
administration
both
for
their
attendance
and
participation
at
the
hearings,
explaining
sometimes
defending
decisions
that
were
in
the
budget
that
we
may
not
have
agreed
with,
but
it's
always
been
a
constructive
process
and
I
also
want
to
note
you
know,
as
someone
who
used
to
be
a
municipal
bond,
attorney
the
impact,
the
positive
impact,
I,
think
of
our
careful
fiscal
stewardship
of
the
city
budget.
G
As
we
see
we
continue
to
have
high
credit
ratings.
We
continue
to
save
money,
I
believe
in
the
last
bond,
offering
we
saved
over
a
million
dollars
because
the
city,
this
body
in
the
mayor's
office,
have
been
careful
stewards
of
the
public
FISC,
which
is
incredibly
important.
A
couple
specific
things
in
this
budget
I'm
very
pleased
I
want
to
publicly
thank
the
administration
for
adding
to
permanent,
full-time
Park
Ranger
positions,
that's
something
that
we've
been
pushing
for
in
the
parks
department
budget
for
quite
some
time.
That
I
know
many
advocates
from
across
the
city.
G
Friends,
groups
of
the
parks
conservancies
have
been
pushing
for
both
because
it's
I
think
an
issue
of
safety
and
maintenance
in
our
parks,
but
our
Park
Rangers
are
great
ambassadors
for
the
city
of
Boston,
and
people
come
with
its
the
Boston
Common
or
any
of
the
parks
around
the
neighborhood's
throughout
this
city.
Those
are
folks
they
can
engage
with,
have
a
positive
experience
with
as
tourists
as
residents.
G
It's
incredibly
important
I'm
glad
to
see
that
we
continued
to
increase
our
funding
for
Boston
Public
Schools,
there's
virtually
no
obligation
of
a
city
more
important
than
educating
the
next
generation.
Our
next
generation
of
children.
I'm
glad
to
see
continue
to
focus
on
that.
I
will
note,
as
I
have
in
every
single
budget,
since
I've
been
here
that
we
still
do
not
have
a
downtown
K
to
eight
school.
G
That
is
something
that,
as
I
think,
more
and
more
families
desire
to
stay
in
the
city
are
trying
to
stay
in
the
city
are
balancing
the
costs
and
the
benefits.
There
are
a
lot
of
reasons,
I
think
why
folks
will
choose
to
move
outside
of
a
city.
It's
unfortunate
that
in
a
lot
of
cases,
particularly
in
district
8,
one
of
those
is
that
there's
not
a
closely
located
Elementary
k-8
school
for
their
students.
G
I
also
see
here
advocates
for
city
funded,
rent
vouchers
and
subsidies,
there's
something
that,
as
a
council
of
Mally
noted,
we've
been
pushing
for
several
years
and
I.
Think
it's
something
that
we
cannot
forget
that
all
we
do
have
CPA
money
and
I
was
thrilled
to
join
the
rest
of
this
body
and
appropriate
the
first
round
of
grants.
That's
an
important
funding
source.
We
need
to
be
looking
at
what
we
can
do
in
direct
subsidy
to
help
people
who
are
struggling
in
the
city
of
Boston
to
help
people
stay
here.
G
You
know
we
do
have
a
booming
economy.
Things
are
going
well
in
the
city,
but
that
has
not
been
touched.
Everyone
has
not
been
touched
by
that
everyone
has
not
been
lifted
up
by
that,
and
while
it's
important
that
this
budget
does
address
many
of
these
issues
and
takes
important
steps
forward,
we
need
to
continue
working
on
that
and
I
will
continue
to
work
on
that.
Moving
forward.
I
also
just
quickly
want
to
know
the
I'm
thrilled
to
see
the
increased
funding
for
more
classes
for
our
public
safety
officials
at
first
Ponder's.
G
For
a
long
time
and
I
know
many
of
my
colleagues
share
this.
You
really
want
to
see
more
cadets
to
be
PD,
making
sure
that
we
are
addressing
public
safety
issues,
but
also
quality
of
life
issues
around
our
neighborhood
that
we
need
more
police
officers
for
the
additional
funding.
The
mayor's
office
of
immigrant
sment
is
incredibly
important,
incredibly
timely
and
continues
this
city's
tradition,
I,
think
of
leading
on
civil
rights
and
outreach
to
others
and,
of
course,
our
additional
funding
for
transportation
and
vision.
Zero
important
improvements
is
so
important,
particularly
the
district's
I
represent.
G
We
have
some
of
the
riskiest
intersections
for
cyclists
and
pedestrians,
proud
to
see
renewed
commitment
to
that
or
I
should
say
it
expanded
a
continued
commitment
because
we
have
been
moving
in
that
direction
for
several
years.
I
look
forward
to
voting
in
the
affirmative
on
the
budget
proposals
before
us.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
A
Make
sure
that
we
were
pulling
all
the
appropriate
dockets
at
the
appropriate
time.
I'm
gonna
speak
and
say
a
few
words
on
the
budget
and
if
colleagues
changed
your
mind
about
speaking
on
the
budget,
feel
free
to
just
press
in
I
wanted
to
thank
councilor
CMO
for
your
leadership
through
this
process
and
also
your
leadership
around
helping
and
assisting,
not
just
the
newer
consulars,
but
also
the
new
councillors
who
just
joined
us,
really
appreciate
you
and
your
partnership
in
this,
as
well
as
your
your
staff
and
your
team
members.
A
I
too,
want
to
thank
central
staff
for
their
hard
work,
Michelle
and
Kate
in
particular,
and,
of
course,
the
central
staff
team
members
that
sit
up
here
and
do
the
hearings
which
are
a
lot.
So
thank
you
to
them
and
a
special
thank
you
to
Kate
who's
just
been
remarkable
in
this
process.
We
are
sad
to
be
losing
her,
but
her
institutional
knowledge
will
not
be
lost.
She's
passed
on
much
of
it
to
Michelle
and
many
others
of
central
staff.
So
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
A
I
also
want
to
thank
the
administration
and
Emma
and
Justin
for
the
hard
work
that
they
put
into
this
budget.
It
was
their
first
and
navigating
us
in
shepherding
us
through
this
part.
This
process
is
not
easy.
I
also
want
to
thank
inter-governmental
relations,
IDR
and
Neil
for
all
of
the
back-and-forth.
We
were
just
talking
earlier
today
at
the
elevator
about
the
budget,
so
thank
you,
Neil
and
I
just
felt
compelled
to
just
say
a
little
bit
more
I
will
be
voting
in
the
affirmative
for
the
operating
and
capital
budget.
A
I
echo
the
concerns
or
I
should
say
echo.
What
my
colleagues
have
said
are
good
investments
which
are
body
cameras.
The
youth
Development
Fund
I've
been
fighting
for
that
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
line
item
in
our
budget
that
serves
that
allows
organizations
that
serve
young
people
in
the
city
of
Boston
to
be
able
to
apply
to
that
to
the
city
for
funding
that
didn't
exist
before,
and
it
wasn't
a
transparent
process.
A
We
had
over
120
organizations
that
applied
for
the
first
round
of
funding
and
that
line
and
only
contained
250
thousand
dollars,
but
through
partnership
with
the
mayor,
it's
been
doubled
and
that's
a
good
thing.
I'm
I
know
organizations
are
excited
about.
I
also
want
to
applaud
the
additional
position
at
the
office
of
immigrant
advancement
colleagues
here
advocated
for
that
and
I.
Don't
know
that
we
would
have
that
position
and
it
would
be
funded
if
it
weren't,
for
that
advocacy.
So
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
their
leadership
and
Moya
as
well
and
Alejandra
I'm.
A
Given
what
we're
talking
about
nationally,
it
was
really
important
that
they
have
an
additional
funded
position
to
do
their
work
and
they
probably
need
more
body
cameras.
This
has
been
an
issue
even
before
I
joined
the
council,
not
just
led
by
councilor
Yancey,
my
predecessor
and
councilor
Jackson,
but
many
others
on
the
council.
Now
we
have
two
million
dollars
to
be
able
to
start
a
full
implementation
program
for
the
police
department.
A
I
also
want
to
applaud
the
additional
investments
in
slow
streets,
and
it's
at
the
top
of
the
lists
when
it
comes
to
constituent
service
cases.
People
saying
those
cars
are
speeding
up
and
down
my
street
and
nothing
is
changing,
and
it
can't
just
be
that
we
add
additional
signage.
We
also
need
to
change
the
infrastructure,
so
the
investments
and
just
in
the
slow
streets
program,
I,
applaud
and
I
am
grateful
that
it
is
happening.
A
Think
that,
along
with
housing,
I'm
looking
at
the
folks
here,
who've
been
advocating
for
years
for
the
voucher
program,
I
think
all
of
these
problems,
frankly,
are
solvable.
I
think
they're,
doable
and
I
think
that
we
do
have
adequate
resources
in
our
budget
in
this
city
to
solve
them,
and
so
for
that
reason,
I
am
voting
no
on
the
Boston
Public
Schools
budget
and
I've
thought
long
and
hard
about
this.
It
was
not
an
easy
decision.
I
think
BPS
has
adequate
resources
to
provide
our
students
and
their
parents
with
an
excellent
education.
A
A
Every
school
leader
should
have
access
to
nurses,
social-emotional
partnerships
or
other
things
to
serve
their
student
body
and,
as
it
currently
exists
that
doesn't
happen
today
and
I.
Think
we
to
think
about
how
do
we
do
a
different?
How
do
we
employ
a
different
strategy
to
get
the
results
that
we
want?
In
addition,
I
think
this
idea
of
you
know
what
does
it
mean
to
hold
a
department
accountable
if
this
was
a
private
sector
and
we
said
to
a
division
in
that
company?
A
Save
me
ten
million
dollars
in
a
year
and
they
came
back
and
said
we
saved
half
of
that
I.
Don't
think
that
we'd
be
giving
them
additional
millions
of
dollars.
We
would
ask
another
tough
questions
of.
Why
were
you
able
to
save
that?
Ten
million
that
you
agreed
to
what
held
you
back
from
realizing
those
savings?
And
so
this
idea
of
continuing
to
give
money,
I
think,
is
a
real
problem.
I
think
it
also
pushes
us
or
should
push
us
to
think
about
the
limit,
the
limits
on
the
council's
budget
review
authority.
A
I
was
at
a
conference
with
other
council
presidents
from
other
cities,
major
cities
across
the
country,
and
they
were
shocked
that
that
was
our
authority
and
that's
all
the
authority
who
sort
of
had
around
the
budget,
and
they
couldn't
believe
that
we
go
through
all
of
these
hearings
and
conversations
to
vote
up
or
down
on
our
budget.
Some
actually
said:
why
do
you
have
all
those
hearings?
Don't
you
have
a
sense
of
how
are
you're
gonna
vote
at
the
beginning
up
or
down?
So
why
do
you
go
through
the
process?
A
Otherwise
we're
gonna
be
continuing
to
do
the
same
thing
and
not
able
to
pull
other
levers
to
realize
the
things
that
we
know
our
constituents
need
so
right
now,
I'm
pulling
the
old,
only
lever,
I,
think
I
have,
which
is
to
say
no
I'm,
not
accepting
the
bps
School
Committee
budget,
because
I
want
our
strategy
to
be
different.
I
want
us
to
save
money
on
transportation
so
that
either
we
reinvested
in
programming
for
bps,
or
we
take
five
million
of
the
120
million
dollar
transportation
budget
and
we
do
rent
vouchers.
A
But
we
take
10
million
of
that
and
we'd
have
more
slow
streets
programs
so
that
people
can
see
changes
not
in
three
or
five
years,
but
in
one
or
two
years,
or
that
Public
Works
has
the
resources
to
be
able
to
buy
certain
machinery
to
allow
us
to
remove
the
snow
like
Canada.
Does
all
my
constituents
talk
about
snow
removal
in
Canada,
I?
Think
Public
Works
would
like
to
do
that
too,
but
I
think
they're
like
what
what
resources
do
I
have
to
buy
new
equipment.
A
I
felt
it
was
important
to
say
that,
and
maybe
I
think
that
now,
given
this
new
role
and
what
I'm
able
to
see
and
also
I
see
the
advocacy
of
each
of
my
colleagues
and
what
they
would
like
to
see
in
the
budget
and
not
everyone
got
what
they
wanted
and
I
think.
This
is
a
time
to
have
a
larger
conversation
about
what
this
body
can
and
can't
do
and
to
remind
even
our
constituents
that
we
only
have
so
much
power
to
do
certain
things.

housing,
lotteries
both
for
rental
and
ownership
opportunities
and
through
those
efforts
we
set
out
to
make
sure
that
that
access
point
was
not
just
present,
but
that
it
was
something
that
we
could
do
and
that
our
residents
could
access
easier
and
we
continue
to
face
some
challenges
with
that
work.
It's
an
expensive
process.
M
But
just
recently
we
were
made
aware
of
the
true
magnitude
of
the
number
of
units,
both
rental
and
affordable
ownership
opportunities
that
are
across
the
across
the
city,
and
it
appears
that
that
number
is
actually
839
and
those
units
are
associated
with
37
projects
and
as
the
city
grows,
those
units
are
meant
to
offer
an
opportunity
for
some
of
our
lower-income
earners
to
access
a
piece
of
the
growth
that
the
city
has
here
right
now
in
Boston.
It
is
an
opportunity
to
balance
in
a
very
small
way
the
expensive
costs
to
live
in
our
city.
M
It's
a
requirement,
as
all
of
you
know,
for
developers
to
have
a
portion
of
their
units
be
affordable
and
when
we
understand
and
find
out
that
there
are
actually
eight
hundred
and
thirty
nine
units,
potentially
both
rental
and
ownership
that
are
available
that
have
not
been
occupied.
It
says
to
me
that
we
need
to
do
better
as
a
city
that
we
need
to
streamline
this
process
that
we
need
to
bring
it
into
the
public
view,
understand,
what's
broken
and
realize
how
we
can
fix
it.
We've
got
a
number
of
questions
that
I
hope.
M
M
It
is
an
unfortunate
I
think
reality
that
we
are
seeing
this
many
units
that
are
unoccupied
across
our
neighborhoods
in
this
city,
so
I
look
forward
to
an
expedited
hearing
and
a
resolution
and
to
the
celebration
of
potentially
839
families
realizing
an
opportunity
for
either
a
an
affordable
rental
unit
or
an
ownership
opportunity
in
our
city.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
O
Just
rise
to
come
in
to
make
her
she's
had
laser
focus
on
this
particular
issue,
and
it's
just
a
reminder
in
government
that
oftentimes
we
have
things
that
work
on
paper,
but
they
don't
work
for
real
people
in
real
lives
and
so
I.
Look
forward
to
the
hearing
and
I
just
rise
to
come
in
to
make
her
wish
to
have
my

be
assigned
to
the
Committee

and

Development.
B
O
You,
madam
president,
I
would
like
to
thank
advocacy
groups
like
Mira
and
central
presente
and
their
Brazilian
women's
group,
and
so
many
others
who've
been
doing
the
frontline
work
of
immigrant
and
Refugee
advocacy
work
and
leading
a
broad
and
diverse
coalition.
I
want
to
thank
councillors,
AECOM,
who
filed
a
resolution
supporting
the
Safe
Communities
Act
last
year.
This
is
a
very
timely
resolution.
O
Last
week,
this
body
unanimously
passed
a
resolution
condemning
the
current
federal
zero-tolerance
immigration
policy
that,
by
my
account
and
I'm
sure
you
share,
it
is
informed
by
zero
compassion
that
policy
is
separating
families
at
the
us-mexico
border.
We
were
moved
as
a
body
to
show
our
support
and
solidarity
for
immigrant
families
at
the
border,
and
we
must
do
the
same
for
families
right
here
in
our
own
state,
on
Blue
Hill,
Avenue
fighting
to
keep
families
intact
and
to
reduce
trauma
at
the
border
and
on
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
do
something
locally.
O
That
would
positively
benefit
the
lives
of
the
6,000
Salvadorians,
nearly
5,000
Haitians,
also
Hondurans
and
Nepalese,
with
temporary
immigration
status,
immigrants
and
their
families
in
our
city
and
our
Commonwealth.
Let's
our
state
colleagues
who
are
currently
charged
with
wreck
saalu,
House
and
Senate
versions
of
the
safe
communities
Act
to
include
provisions
that
would
protect
parents
from
being
torn
away
from
their
children.
Currently,
the
safe
communities
Act
does
not
explicitly
prohibit
the
exchange
of
information
between
the
Department
of
Corrections
and
ice.
O
However,
there
are
amendments
that
should
be
enacted,
including
restricting
police,
from
asking
about
immigration
status
during
routine
interactions,
barring
sheriffs
and
police,
from
entering
into
agreements
to
exchange
information,
otherwise
known
as
287.
Ensuring
immigrants
are
informed
of
their
legal
rights
and
barring
Massachusetts
from
contributing
to
any
discriminatory
registry.
O
We
have,
as
a
body,
demonstrated
strong
support
for
the
safe
communities
act,
but
advocating
and
ensure
that
these
specific
provisions
are
included
in
the
final
version
will
also
show
our
city's
leadership
and
compassion
to
the
families
being
separated
by
our
broken
immigration
system
here
at
home
and
at
the
border.
I
move
to
suspend
and
pass
this
resolution.
Thank.
G
What
were
you
doing
when
this
was
happening?
What
were
you
doing
when
the
Trump
administration
was
using
our
federal
law
enforcement,
using
immigration
and
customs
enforcement
to
persecute
people
to
separate
families,
to
close
our
borders,
to
reject
American
values
and,
while,
unfortunately,
in
this
room
right
now,
we
could
not
stop
what's
happening
border
and
we
have
spoken
out
strongly
against
and
I'm
proud
that
we
have.
G
But
we
can
do
something
here
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts,
just
as
we
have
acted
in
the
city
of
Boston
to
prevent
law
enforcement,
from
cooperating
with
immigration
and
customs
enforcement
to
stop
our
local
law
enforcement
from
holding
people
based
on
their
immigration
status,
the
state
needs
to
follow
suit.
It's
unacceptable
that
when
folks
are
in
state
custody,
they
can
be
turned
over.
Governor
Baker
has
one
of
his
first
acts
upon
coming
into
office
was
to
reactivate
these
cooperation
agreements
with
Immigration
and
Customs
Enforcement.
The
state
needs
to
act.
G
We
need
to
stand
up
right
now.
This
is
not
a
time
when
we
can
be
silent.
I
wish
we
could
do
more
than
this
resolution.
I
wish.
We
could
legislate
further
as
we
have
in
the
past,
but
it's
up
to
our
colleagues
and
the
Statehouse
right
now,
and
they
need
to
see
that
we
support
this,
that
the
city
of
Boston
is
a
city
of
immigrants.
We
are
a
city
of
freedom,
we
are
a
city
of
democracy.
G
A
You

At

Pressley
seeks
suspension
of
the
rules
and
adoption
of
docket
1
0
for

all
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
haven't
docket
1
0
for
one
has
been
adopted.
A
O
I've
been
fighting
for
those
supports
for
those
family
members
who
have
been
impacted
by
homicide
in
the
city,
but
what
we'd
rather
do
is
prevent
I
won't
even
call
it
a
loss
of
life.
Every
time
this
happens.
We
have
a
fatality
or
a
shooting
that
doesn't
result
in
fatality,
but
where
lives
are
irreparably
changed,
we're
being
robbed
of
a
life,
and
so
we
must
do
everything
possible
to
address
this
public
health
crisis
and
epidemic
that
is
gun,
violence
and
so
I
want
to
thank
councillor
Campbell
for
co-sponsoring
this
resolution.
O
With
me,
in
Massachusetts,
we
are
considered
to
have
some
of
the
strictest
gun,
violence
prevention
laws
in
the
country,
but
at
the
federal
level
there
are
attempts
to
serve
into
a
road
at
the
laws
and
regulations
by
States
when
it
comes
to
gun
ownership.
One
of
the
latest
attempts
is
the
concealed
carry
reciprocity
Act
of
2017.
This
law
would
force
law
enforcement
of
one
state
to
enforce
the
state
law
from
wherever
the
gun
permit
is
issued,
regardless
of
the
deliberations
and
decisions
of
that
local
state
or
municipal
government
Massachusetts.
O
O
That
is
why
we
cannot
allow
this
dangerous
and
yet
very
preventable,
loophole
to
pass
this
legislation
if
passed,
would
wreak,
weaken
the
regulations
we
value,
especially
in
the
city
and
our
Commonwealth,
by
allowing
gun
owners
from
estates
with
significantly
less
stringent
regulations
to
carry
weapons
in
our
state
and
to
carry
concealed
weapons.
The
massive
availability
of
guns
perpetuates
more
violence
in
our
communities,
our
places
of
worship,
our
schools
and
on
our
city
blocks.
O
That
is
why
I
urge
this
body
to
go
on
record,
opposing
HR,
38
and
Senate
bill
446
the
concealed
carry
reciprocity
Act
of
2017
and
to
call
on
our
federal
elected
officials
to
vote
against
this
bill.
This
is
about
ensuring
we
can
continue
to
build
upon
the
good
work
that
we've
done
here:
preventing
criminal
firearm
trafficking,
criminal
possession
of
weapons
and,
again
the
general
proliferation
of
pot
firearms
in
our
public
spaces.
I
move
to
suspend
and
pass
this
resolution
and
again
I.
O
A
You
very
much
councilor,
Pressley
and
I.
Think
you
summed
it
up.
Well
I!
Think
you
too,
for
your
partnership
on
this.
One
of
the
things
that
we
often
hear
about,
of
course
from
our
constituents
is
the
prevalence
of
guns
on
this
on
our
streets,
and
we
often
say
much
of
this
is
either
state
issue
a
federal
issue.
A
So
this
is
one
way
that
we
can
stand
up
for
something
on
stand
up
for
something
do
something
I
should
say
on
this
issue
that
comes
up
quite
a
bit
from
folks
in
the
community,
so
Thank
You
councillor
Presley
for
your
partnership
on
this.
Anyone
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
add
their
name,
madam
Clerk.

Oh

Urging
the
activation
of
the
disaster
housing
assistance
program
to
support
for
to
Puerto,
Rico,
Puerto,
Rican,
evacuate
displaced
by
Hurricane
Maria,
whereas
since
September
20th
2017
Puerto
Rico,
was
devastated
by
Hurricane
Maria,
with
an
estimated
death
toll
of
over
4,000
significantly
surpassing
the
official
count
of
64
and
affecting
3
million
residents.
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
Boston
City
Council
and
meeting
assembled
go
on
record
urging
support
the
activation
of
the
disaster.
O
O
The
contributions
of
Latinos
in
particular
up
were
tokens
just
wanted
to
go
over
some
of
the
numbers,
so
as
of
2016
Massachusetts
is
the
fifth
largest
Auto
Rican
population
Boston
accounts
for
5.1
percent
of
the
Puerto
Rican
population,
the
second
largest
in
the
state,
and
we
are
home
to
the
third
largest
Puerto
Rican
evacuees
population
because
of
weather
refugees
who
have
a
resettled
here.
So
that
means
there
are
over
3,300
individuals
who
have
recent
our
Commonwealth
since
last
fall.
O
So
I'm
asking
us
to
reactivate
this
program
that
was
implemented
after
Hurricane
sandy
and
Hurricane
Katrina
I'm
asking
us
to
stand
in
solidarity
with
the
massive
black
and
Latino
legislative
caucus.
Our
Governor
Baker
has
taken
action
in
creating
the
Massachusetts
United
for
Puerto
Rico,
a
fund
which
many
on
this
body
have
supported,
which
provided
over
1
million
dollars
towards
relief
efforts.
However,
it
is
not
enough.
Funds
are
needed
to
support
the
increase
in
school
enrollment
assistance
for
families
and
for
individuals
to
find
permanent
housing.
O
Since
last
October
FEMA
has
supported
displaced
individuals
through
the
transitional
sheltering
Assistance
Program
TSA.
However,
in
three
days
on
June
30th,
this
federal
assistance
program
will
expire
for
individual
adults,
so
we
need
a
state-level
extension
on
a
state-level
extension
to
July
30th
for
families
and
children.
Currently
utilizing
temporary
sheltering
in
hotels
again,
given
the
large
population
of
Puerto
Ricans
and
our
Commonwealth,
who
have
yet
to
find
stable
and
permanent
housing
or
jobs.
O
The
end
of
TSA
transitional
sheltering
assistance
could
prove
to
be
further
devastating
to
folks
who
have
already
been
and
experienced
their
fair
share
of
trauma.
Many
of
these
families
lack
the
capital
or
employment
opportunities
to
exit
transitional
housing
on
their
own.
They
are
sleeping
in
hotels
and
unable
to
find
comfortable
and
permanent
accommodations
to
call
home
so
again,
I'm
asking
our
body
to
support
our
colleagues
at
the
State
House,
particularly
the
mass
of
black
and
Latino
legislative
caucus,
to
call
for
the
federal
government
to
reactivate
the
disaster.
C
You
Madame
president
I
also
want
to,
if
knowledge
the
words
of
counsel
Presley
I
had
the
opportunity
to
visit
Villa
Victoria
over
the
weekend
and
heard
from
many
residents
over
there
about
their
family
members
from
Puerto
Rico
them
that
are
now
here
in
Boston.
So
I
would
like
to
respectfully
ask
my
name
to
be
included.
C
I
want
to
thank
councilor
Pressley
for
her
leadership
on
this
issue
and
I
stand
with
the
people
of
Puerto
Rico
I
have
a
high
concentration
of
Puerto
Ricans
in
my
community
and
their
exact
they're
telling
me
exactly
about
the
struggles
they
have
in
coming
to
Boston,
coming
to
Massachusetts,
looking
for
housing
looking
for
social
services,
so
I
think
this
is
a
good
step
in
the
right
direction.
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
Thank.

operate
motor
vehicles
for
the
carriage
of
passengers
for
hire
over
certain
streets
in
Boston
refer
to
the
Committee
on
April
25th
2018.
There
was
a
hearing
held
on
May
25th
2018.
J
You
I've
sort
of
gone
down
the
jitney
rabbit
hole
with
this
one,
so
I'm
gonna,
it
says
more
detail
than
folks
need,
but
in
John
the
top
line
is
that
I'm
recommending
rejection
of
this
petition
because
of
this
particular
instance,
but
there's
a
larger
issue
that
now
is
needs
a
lot
of
attention.
So
the
company
local
motion
of
Boston
submitted
a
petition
at
the
same
hearing
that
we
heard
the
last
one
which
we
voted
on
last
week
and
approved.
J
J
J
They
noted
to
me
that
if
they
don't
get
this
and
they
won't
be
able
to
without
the
license
or
they
won't
move
forward
without
the
license,
some
other
transportation
company
may
just
bid
for
that
and
decide
to
skip
this
whole
process
altogether
and
and
how
will
we
really
know
that
so
Ronnie
in
particular,
for
my
team
has
been
going
back
and
forth
with
the
clerk's
office?
We
know
that
the
city
of
Boston
has
18
now
Counting
last
week's
19
active
jitney
licenses
and
there
are
far
more
routes
being
operated
than
that
across
the
city.
J
Basically,
the
jitney
laws
say
that
anyone
operating
vehicles
for
vehicles
open
for
passengers
who
are
payment
across
city
streets
with
a
fixed
route
and
start
and
ending
points,
should
come
before
the
council
to
get
a
jitney
license.
This
is
actually
a
huge
area
where
we
have
Authority,
because
the
council
license
specifies
not
only
where
they
pick
up
and
drop
off
the
maximum.
They
can
charge
the
hours
the
specific
route.
So
there
is
a
lot
we
can
do
here
in
terms
of
think
about
traffic
patterns
and
and
who
is
moving
around
the
city.
J
How
the
problem
is
that
the
enforcement
end
there's
some
gaps
right
now
and
we're
trying
to
figure
out
if
it's
just
that
everybody's
going
above
us
to
the
state,
because
dpu
has
a
similar
licensing
mechanism.
That
I
think
has
a
lot
more
registered
participants
than
the
jitney
process,
so
we're
figuring
that
out
I
have
promised
these
particular
petitioners
that
I
will
not
just
leave
this
and
drop
it,
because
it
is
very
unfair
that
in
trying
to
do
this,
the
right
way
they
are
being
punished
for
not
just
essentially
doing
it
behind
our
backs.

You

I

need
for
these
funds
and
to
make
sure
that
they
are
readily
available
for
the
following
fiscal
year,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
pull
this
from
the
green
sheet
to
make
sure
that
they're
ready
come
July
first.
These
are
IDP
funds
that
we've
been
already
part
of
administrating
in
the
city
and
I'd
like
to
continue.
That's
all.

Thank
you
very
much,
and
it
was
said
earlier
by
many
of
us
how
blessed
we
are
to
have
the
central
staff
that
we
have,
and
you
know
the
past
ten
years,
I've
been
chairman
of
ways
and
means,
as
you
all
know,
and
seven
of
those
years
I've
been
served.
Can
you
come
out
please?
Yes,.
L
Out
serve
she's
been
like
an
extension
of
my
staff,
but
even
more
importantly,
a
great
friend
and
her
work
ethic
will
be
missed.
Your
guy
who's,
your
counsel,
your
sense
of
humor,
everything
about
you,
Kade
has
been
wonderful
to
work
with
you,
I'm
gonna,
miss
you
tremendously
and
I
just
wanted
to
present
these
on
behalf
of
all
of
us,
for
you
know,
we're
gonna
miss
you.
This.
L
A
C
Got
the
City
Council
for
signing
a
letter
of
support
for
the
United
Steelworkers.
As
my
colleagues
know,
the
gas
workers
of
local
1200,
3
and
1201
to
have
been
locked
out
by
National
Grid
today
I
joined
these
workers
at
5:00
this
morning
in
Dorchester
to
march,
in
support
of
a
fair
collective
bargaining
process,
fear
of
living
wages,
health
health
benefits
and
especially,
and
most
importantly,
safety.
These
hard-working
men
and
women
give
back
so
much
to
our
city.
They
ensure
our
public
utilities
stay
safe
in
up-to-date
with
maintenance.
They
also
live
in
our
neighborhoods
Coachella
kids.
C
They
are
owned.
They,
our
neighbors
and
Families.
The
nature
of
gas
utility
work
is
sensitive
and
requires
a
trained
workforce
to
ensure
our
infrastructure
and
residents
remain
safe.
Any
substitute
for
a
trained,
experienced
workforce
places
the
residents
of
our
city
at
risk.
Now
more
than
ever,
we
must
continue
to
support
our
brothers
and
sisters
in
the
labor
labor
movement,
I
firmly,
like
all
of
you,
to
believe
in
the
ability
to
organize
and
collective
collectively
bargain
for
fair
wages
in
healthcare
as
an
essential
right
for
all
in
our
mayor
and
safety
in
the
workplace.
C
M
A
M
You
I
just
want
to
just
give
a
special
shout
out
to
some
very
cool
accomplishments
that
some
of
our
student-athletes
have
had
this
spring
season.
If
I
could
just
run
through
this
list
for
the
Spring
City
Championships
boys,
volleyball,
Boston,
Latin
Academy
for
Girls,
Track
and
Field,
the
John
do
Bryant
for
boys
track
and
field
East
Boston
high
for
softball
Boston,
Latin
Academy
for
baseball,
Snowden,
international
for
middle
school,
girls
track
and
field,
the
Condon
and
middle
school
boys
track
and
field
the
McCormack
and
then
some
special
notes
of
MIAA
significance.
M
The
Latin
Academy
boys
tennis
team
was
a
d1
north
semifinalist,
the
Latin
school
girls,
tennis
team
was
also
a
d1
north
semi
finalists
excel
high
school,
also
known
as
Southie
high
was
baseball
d-4d
for
north
semifinalist,
as
was
English
High
in
the
Munez
margarita
Munez
Academy.
They
were
d4,
North,
semi-finalists
and
then
very
exciting.
We
got
to
watch
it
firsthand
because
Doug
is
a
graduate
and
a
former
baseball
player
at
Boston
Latin
School.
M
They
were
the
d1
North
champions
and
state
semifinals,
which
is
the
furthest
they've
ever
gone
in
the
school's
history
and
then
athletes
of
the
year.
For
softball
Kayla
Elliot
from
East
Boston
High,
who
was
a
pitcher
for
baseball
athlete
of
the
year,
is
Alex
turn
turn
turn
ko.
So
from
South
Boston
high,
a
pitcher,
a
senior
girls
track
and
field
athlete
of
the
year
is
Sofia
Jillian
from
West
Roxbury,
high
school
or
one
of
the
schools
out
there,
and
the
boys
track
and
field
is
Courtley.
M
A
Thank
you
at
this
time.
If
all
my
colleagues
and
guests
and
staff
could
please
rise
as
we
adjourn
today's

of
the
