A
B
A
You,
madam
clerk
I've,
been
informed
by
the
clerk
that
a
quorum
is
present
at
this
time.
If
all
colleagues,
guests
and
staff
could
please
rise
as
counter
Janey
introduces
our
clergy
for
the
day
who
will
bring
us
through
our
invocation
I
ask
that
everyone
remain
standing
after
the
invocation
as
they
take
us
through
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
A
D
You
so
much,
madam
president,
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
this
afternoon,
introducing
my
dear
friend
Reverend
art
Gordon,
who
is
the
pastor
at
st.
John
Missionary
Baptist
Church,
which
is
right
in
my
neighborhood
right
around
the
corner
from
where
I
live,
pastor
Gordon
is
originally
from
Georgia.
He
attended
bu
School
of
Theology.
D
What
I
am
most
impressed
about,
though,
is
that
he
is
part
of
this
new
generation
of
activists,
leaders
of
activists
pastors
who
engage
with
us
as
partners
also
to
hold
us
accountable
for
the
things
that
we're
doing
in
our
community
in
our
districts
and
they're,
really
the
leading
voice.
So
I
really
appreciate
your
advocacy
and
your
partnership,
and
all
that
you
do
to
keep
our
community
of
Roxbury,
but
the
entire
city
of
Boston
strong.
So,
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here.
Please
good.
E
Afternoon,
everyone
Thank
You
councillor
Janey
for
having
me
to
all
of
the
other
councillors
public
servants,
it's
a
beautiful
day
in
Boston
and
I'm
glad
to
be
alive
and
glad
to
serve
and
live
in
such
a
great
city.
If
you
would,
please
bow
your
heads
as
we
pray,
Almighty
God.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
of
a
new
day,
a
day
in
which
we
can
live
a
day
in
which
God
we
are
also
called
to
serve
others.
Thank
you
so
much
for
God
this
great
city.
Thank
you
for
the
history.
E
We
have
God,
but
the
future
that
is
set
before
us
for
every
City,
Councilor
God,
for
every
public
servant.
Here
we
ask
God
for
your
grace
and
mercy
upon
their
lives.
God
for
every
fighter
and
activists
of
justice
continue
God
to
keep
them
strong
and
to
continue
to
fight
for
what
is
right
and
on
this
afternoon,
God
as
we
prepare
for
this
session,
we
ask
for
your
guidance
God.
E
We
ask
God
that
the
ideals
of
diversity,
of
inclusion,
a
peace
of
prosperity
as
well
God,
would
be
within
the
midst
of
the
circle,
touch
us
and
guide
us
and
help
us
to
be
reminded
God
that
our
calling
is
to
serve
others,
especially
God,
as
we
reminded
of
Jesus
Christ,
who
wanted
to
serve
the
least
the
last
and
the
left
out,
help
us
God
to
look
towards
that
and
your
holy
name.
We
pray,
amen.
A
Thank
You

Janie

Reverend
Gordon,

A
F
A
F
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
very
much.
The
FY
2008
review
included
28
hearings
on
the
capital
and
operating
budget
details
on
departmental
budgets,
a
hearing
dedicated
to
public
testimony
and
written
testimony
from
all
departments.
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you,
my
colleagues,
for
your
commitment
to
a
thorough
review
of
the
budget
over
the
course
of
two
months
and
over
55
hours
of
public
hearings.
The
dockets
currently
before
us
represent
the
resubmitted
budget,
which
contains
important
additions
to
the
original
proposal
and
many
reforms.
F
Funding
for
Gulf
Boston
2030
projects
like
Improvement,
two
major
roadways
and
bridges,
sidewalks
bus
lanes,
bike
corridors
and
more
new
supports
for
addiction
services
through
the
mayor's
office
of
recovery
services.
A
new
long-term
commitment
to
funding
the
arts,
efforts
to
diversify
our
police
fire
and
EMS
forces
and
meet
the
demands
of
our
growing
city.
Preparing
for
climate
change
through
climate
resilience,
efforts
and
zero
waste
programming
and
funding
our
fixed
obligations,
including
pensions,
debt
service
and
state
assessments.
F
The
FY
2008,
as
the
largest
in
the
history
of
the
city,
made
possible
by
the
development
boom
of
the
last
few
years,
the
biggest
in
the
city's
history
and
strong
and
effective
fiscal
management
over
many
years
and
though,
as
City
counselors,
we
will
always
want
more
for
our
constituents.
This
is
a
good
budget.
F
F
Until
FY
12,
we
have
to
use
reserves
free
cash
to
make
up
the
deficits
in
revenue
and
state
aid
and
work
with
the
residual
effects
of
the
wealth
loss
by
residents
and
highest
percentage
of
unemployment.
Since
the
Great
Depression,
the
FY,
10
and
11
budgets
included
wage
freezes,
layoffs,
deep
budget
reductions
affecting
the
city's
operations
and
the
capital
plan
had
to
defer
projects
all
over
the
city
I'd
like
to
quote
from
my
speech
regarding
the
budget
in
2010.
A
vote
to
support
this
budget
is
certainly
not
painless.
F
The
FY
2008
reflects
the
city's
awareness
of
the
challenges
of
today
addiction,
climate
change
displacement,
and,
while
there
is
always
more,
we
would
like
to
do.
I
am
cognizant
of
the
need
to
work
with
our
within
our
means
and
pay
off
our
debts
to
ensure
that
those
that
come
after
us
can
continue
in
this
work.
Thank
you
again
to
my
colleagues
on
the
council.
Thank
you
to
my
co-chair
councilor
Tim
McCarthy
and
the
chair
of
Education
and
ESA's
sabe
Jorge
for
our
co-chairing
and
taking
leadership
roles
in
this
budget.

Thank
you

mayor
and
his
team.

budget
together
and
review
it
thoroughly
thoroughly.
I
am
pleased
today
to
ask
for
your
vote
in
the
affirmative
for
these
dockets
that
represent
the
culmination
of
these
efforts.
F
It
has
been
my
honor
to
serve
as
the
chair
of
ways
and
means
for
the
past
11
years
to
my
colleagues
that
will
be
leaving
at
the
end
of
the
year
with
me.
I
am
proud
to
have
served
alongside
you,
such
dedicated
public
servants,
and
to
my
colleagues
continuing
on
to
new
term
next
year
and
beyond.
The
future
is
in
good
hands.
Thank
you.
A
H
You,
madam
president,
I
begin
by
I
will
suspend
my
self-imposed
rule
of
not
naming
names
of
colleagues
from
the
floor
by
saying
job
well
done.
Mark
co-moh,
you
have
been
the
ways
and
means
chair
for
every
year
that
I've
been
on
this
body,
which
I
came
in
at
the
end
of
2010.
This
was
my
ninth
budget.
You
have
served
this
city
with
honor
with
distinction.
We
will
certainly
miss
you
in
this
building.
We
know
you
won't
be
too
far,
but
congratulations.
H
My
friend
on
a
remarkable
career
and
another
great
great
bit,
probably
the
best
budget
that
I
will
vote
on
to
have
capped
it
off
so
job.
Well
done
on
that.
Similarly,
thank
you
to
Emma
and
Justin
Neil,
the
entire
administration,
our
folks
from
bps,
especially
I,
wanted
to
thank
superintendent,
Perl
Laura
Perl
called
me
to
talk
about
the
budget.
The
other
night
that
was
the
first
superintendent
who's
ever
called
me
on
a
budget
boat,
and
it
was
my
fourth
superintendent
since
I've
been
here
and
I.
H
Think
that
really
speaks
to
the
acting
superintendent
in
just
the
mark
that
she
served
throughout
this
process.
I
will
be
voting
YES
on
the
operating
budget.
I
will
be
voting
YES
on
the
bps
budget
and
I
will
be
voting
YES
on
the
capital
budget.
This
has
been
as
smooth
a
process,
as
we
have
seen
it
my
time
on
this
body.
Certainly,
and
one
thing
that
I'm
particularly
proud
of,
is
the
fact
that
this
body
really
act
as
a
true
partner
with
the
administration
and
crafting
many
of
the
initiatives
in
the
budget.
H
There's
no
question
the
bulk
of
the
power
sort
of
dynamic
and
Boston's
government
lies
with
the
executive
branch,
but
I
am
incredibly
proud
of
each
and
every
one
of
you
and
the
proof
is
literally
in
the
pudding.
We
are
seeing
some
initiatives
put
forth
by
this
body
that
are
reflected
in
this
budget
as
it
relates
to
nursing
staffing
levels
in
our
schools.
H
Counselor
asabi
George
has
done
some
great
work
in
that
space,
working
on
making
sure
that
we
have
menstrual
products
in
the
school,
something
that
councillor
Edwards
and
I
have
been
leading
onto
that
is
now
reflected.
Some
of
the
environmental
initiatives,
councillor
Wu
and
I
and
others
have
been
working
on,
is
now
being
reflected
in
this
budget.
This
is
a
strong
budget.
This
is
a
responsible
budget.
This
is
the
most
important
vote
we
take
each
and
every
year,
I
defy
anyone
to
challenge
that.
We
all
have
a
job.
H
We
are
elected
by
either
as
a
district,
counselor,
74
75,000
or
as
an
at-large
counselor
six
hundred
eighty
thousand
individuals
every
year.
The
most
important
role
of
our
job
is
to
provide
sound
financial
oversight
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
the
city
remains
on
this
upward
trajectory
and
having
budgets
that
truly
reflect
the
vibrancy,
the
diversity,
the
values
of
our
city.
This
is
as
strong
a
budget
as
I
have
voted
for.
I
will
be
proud
to
vote
for
it
again.
Thank
you
again
mark
for
a
great
career
and
great
leadership
at
this
level.
D
Thank
you
so
much
so.
First
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you
for
chairing
ways
and
means
for
all
the
years
that
you
have,
but
certainly
my
last
18
months
as
the
counselor.
This
is
my
second
budget
and
I
really
appreciate
your
leadership
and
your
openness
and
helping
newer
counselors
navigate
this.
This
process
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
central
staff,
in
particular,
Michelle
Schoen,
Cora,
Candice
and
Kerry
for
their
great
work
and
supporting
you
in
this
effort.
D
D
Those
are
all
key
to
combating
the
housing
crisis,
so
I
appreciate
the
investments
there
as
the
chair
of
small
business,
I'm,
also
glad
to
see
funding
for
economic
development
center
to
support
small
business
owners,
the
new
certification
managers
to
help
nve's
and
w
bees
get
certified
as
such
by
the
city
and
resources
to
support
the
work
of
the
office
of
emerging
industries.
In
order
to
ensure
that
we
receive
equitable
representation
and
our
fair
share
of
resources.
The
budget
includes
investments
in
ensuring
that
all
Bostonians
are
counted
in
the
2020
census.
Still,
there's
room
for
improvement.
D
I
would
have
liked
to
have
seen
greater
investment
in
violence,
prevention
and
intervention.
As
last
night's
hearing
showed,
there
is
a
great
deal
of
work
to
do
and
we
can
and
must
do
better
in
that
area.
We
need
to
do
a
better
job
at
responding
to
trauma
and
supporting
families.
While
there
are
some
important
investments
and
needle
cleanup
and
recovery
services,
including
staffing,
specifically
for
the
orchard
gardens
school,
which
is
in
my
district,
we
still
need
to
do
much
more
to
combat
the
opioid
crisis
and
mitigate
its
impact
on
communities
all
throughout
our
city.
D
Finally,
I
believe
that
we
need
to
create
a
city
funded
rental
assistance
program
to
help
families
stay
in
their
homes
in
terms
of
the
BPS
budget,
together
with
the
BTU
contract,
and
what
we're
doing
here
today
there
are
a
number
of
important
investments.
One
of
the
most
critical
is
a
commitment
to
bringing
a
full-time
nurse
to
every
school
building
and
to
adding
23
student
facing
mental
health
professionals.
We
need
to
fill
these
positions
with
diverse
staff
as
quickly
as
possible
to
ensure
the
health
and
safety
and
well-being
of
our
students.
D
Another
important
investment
that
I've
been
advocating
for
many
many
many
years,
certainly
longer
than
I've
been
on
this
body
is
the
commitment
to
providing
universal,
high-quality
pre-k
to
all
four-year-olds
who
wanted
I
think
that's
a
very
important
investment
here.
I
would
like
to
see
all
of
those
dollars
be
spent
on
creating
BPS
classrooms,
but
these
are
important
investments.
D
My
advocacy
for
Madison
Park
in
terms
of
the
capital
budget,
I'm
proud
to
have
advic
advocated
for
the
expansion
of
Dudley
square
Complete
Streets,
which
will
now
extend
till
mell
Nia
Cass,
which
is
an
important
gateway,
particularly
for
the
Dudley
area,
and
and
supporting
businesses
there
and
connecting
to
other
neighborhoods
as
well
as
the
highway.
They
are
very
important
that
we
make
the
transportation
hub
the
commercial
district,
all
of
Dudley,
more
safe
and
less
congested.
D
I
You
very
much
mr.
vice
chair
first
I'd
like
to
thank
and
I
think
we'll
echo
this
today
and
it's
very
much
okay
to
do
this,
I'd
like
to
thank
Michelle,
Shane,
cork,
Kerry
and
Candice,
and
the
rest
of
central
staff
for
their
work
on
the
budget.
They
are
certainly
the
forces
behind
the
scenes
that
ensure
that
we
have
a
smooth
budget.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
members
of
my
own
team,
especially
my
chief
of
staff,
just
Jessica
Rodriguez,
who
leads
this
process
for
us
in
our
office.
I
I'd
also
like
to
commend
and
thank
councilor
co-moh,
not
just
for
leading
the
budget
this
year,
but
for
his
years
of
service
to
his
district
and
to
this
body.
I've
learned
so
much
about
the
budget
process
through
your
leadership
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
when
I
was
first
elected
to
the
council,
I
think
before
I
was
sworn
in.
We
had
lunch
and
you
suggested
to
me
that
for
me
to
do
my
job
and
to
do
it
well
that
I
should
ask
to
be
on
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee.
I
That
I
should
attend
every
budget
hearing
and
really
be
a
part
of
this
process,
because
it
is
truly
the
way
that
we
understand
all
that
our
city
has
to
offer
all
that
our
city
does
what
our
city,
values
and
I
know
that
you
value
this
process
and
I
appreciate
your
friendship
and
your
mentorship
and
your
leadership
through
this
process.
As
a
city,
councilor
at-large,
representing
the
entire
city
of
Boston,
the
budget
process
is
an
important
time
to
reflect
on
the
issues
impacting
all
of
the
residents
in
the
city
it
was.
I
I
The
additional
funding
for
for
homeless,
peer
navigators,
formerly
homeless,
individuals
who
move
within
the
shelter
system
to
connect
currently
homeless,
individuals
with
permanent
housing
pathways
and
the
expansion
of
the
Boston
substance,
use
street
team
for
access
intervention
and
next
steps
or
sustains
in
the
Boston
Public
Health
Commission
budget.
This
budget
also
includes
capital
funding
for
the
Long
Island
Bridge,
with
the
insufficient
number
of
recovery
beds
across
the
Commonwealth.
I
am
happy
that
both
versions
of
the
budget
recognized
the
urgency
in
rebuilding
the
bridge
and
reopening
a
new
recovery
campus.
I
When
rebuilt,
the
Long
Island
recovery
campus
will
serve
as
an
invaluable
public
health
resource
that
Boston
and
the
Commonwealth,
and
the
region
needs
to
provide
the
appropriate
response
to
the
opioid
epidemic
and
the
comprehensive
continuum
of
care
services
necessary
for
long-term
recovery.
In
addition,
it
will
shelter
individuals
experiencing
homelessness
and
alleviate
the
overburdened
mental
health
services
in
Boston
as
a
Boston
resident.
I
I
For
that
particular
position,
I'm
also
proud
that
the
resubmitted
budget
includes
an
investment
of
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
the
Boston
Police
Department
to
find
additional
positions
in
the
forensics
unit
with
the
forensics
requirements
established
in
the
most
recently
passed
crime
bill,
it's
very
important
that
our
city
can
meet
those
standards.
It
also
allows
us
to
address
the
urgent
need
to
reduce
the
backlog
of
data
for
our
victims
in
the
criminal
justice
system.
I
At
the
budget
hearing
for
BPD,
the
importance
of
this
investment
was
confirmed
by
Commissioner,
Ross
and
I'm,
proud
that
the
council
played
a
role
to
make
our
criminal
justice
system
more
efficient.
This
investment
will
nod.
Aunt
will
not
is
not
the
answer
to
ending
violence
in
our
city.
However,
it
does
help
resolve
cases
and
bring
to
justice
for
those
victims
that
are
waiting
for
answers
that
are
backlogged
within
BPD's
Crime
Lab.
There
is
certainly
a
need
for
additional
personnel.
I
The
investments
to
improve
public
safety
also
includes
additional
funding
for
bcy
apps
violence
intervention
program
and
adding
a
new
cadet
program
to
the
Boston
Fire
Department
and
the
Boston
Police
after
attending
and
participating
in
almost
30
budget
hearings.
I
rise
today
to
vote
YES
for
the
operating
budget
and
the
capital
budget.
I
believe
these
make
significant
investments
in
our
city.
It
reflects
our
advocacy
from
this
body
in
response
to
some
of
the
immediate
needs
of
our
residents.
As
chair
of
the
Committee
on
education,
I
have
thoughtfully
considered
my
vote.
I
I
acknowledge
that
this
is
not
a
perfect
budget,
but
includes,
what's
fundamentally
necessary
and
investments
to
our
schools,
investments
that
have
taken
years
of
advocacy,
as
you
know,
I'm
a
former
Boston
public
school
teacher
and
taught
in
art
in
our
high
school
and
at
East
Boston
high
for
13
years.
I
know
from
firsthand
experience
the
commute
that
the
community
that
exists
in
and
outside
of
our
schools
cares
deeply
about
our
kids
having
a
seat
in
our
schools
and
our
voice.
I
Have
our
families
having
a
voice
I,
encourage
parent
advocacy
I,
want
our
students
to
succeed,
academically
and
I
wish
for
the
Boston
Public
Schools
to
be
responsive
to
all
of
our
kids
needs.
This
year's
budget
provides
important
investments
to
provide
our
kids
with
the
baseline
student
facing
resources
to
mitigate
conditions
our
kids
face
in
order
to
set
up
our
children
for
success
and
resolve
systemic
failures
in
our
school
system.
The
social,
emotional,
behavioral,
mental
and
physical
well-being
of
our
children
must
be
a
priority.
I
We
have
an
obligation
to
provide
our
students
with
high
quality,
public
education
and
a
learning
environment
that
is
welcoming
and
safe
for
all
of
our
children.
I
am
particularly
excited
that,
after
a
lengthy
negotiation,
the
contract
with
the
Boston
Teachers
Union
includes
a
full-time
nurse
in
every
Boston
public
school.
I
Additionally,
through
the
btu
contract,
we
are
also
investing
in
23
new
student
facing
mental
health
providers,
additional
staffing
for
inclusion
classrooms
and
full-time
paraprofessionals
for
all
K
2
classes.
Citywide
I'm
also
pleased
that
the
btu
contract
allocates
an
additional
hundred
thousand
dollar
Rivest
investment
to
combat
student
homelessness.
We
have
almost
5,000
students
in
the
boston,
public
school
experience,
schools
experiencing
homelessness,
and
this
is
an
issue
I've
pushed
for
since
day,
one
after
receiving
two
hours
of
public.
Testimony
on
at
my
hearing
on
IEP
s
for
students
that
require
additional
learning
supports.
I
I
am
pleased
that
the
education
budget
also
includes
a
five
hundred
and
seventy
seven
thousand
dollar
investment
to
establish
a
proportionate
share
team
responsible
for
conducting
IEP
meetings
and
evaluations.
This
investment
to
improve
the
IEP
process,
along
with
other
investments
in
the
special
ed
Department,
will
make
important
important
improvements
for
all
of
our
families
and
students
combined.
The
overall
education
budget
makes
important
strides
to
reduce
the
opportune,
an
achievement
gap
and
address
the
impact
of
socio-economic
disparities.
I
The
education
budget
is
not
a
perfect
budget,
but
these
are,
but
these
are
investments
that
we
cannot
ignore
and
say
no
to
these
are
investments
that
will
help
improve
the
services
and
support
the
needs
of
our
students.
My
vote
today
serves
to
recognize
the
importance
of
those
investments,
but
also
the
work
that
still
is
needed
to
provide
our
kids
with
the
education
they
deserve.
I
remain
remain
disappointed
in
the
lack
of
investments
to
renovate
the
facilities
at
Madison,
Park
vocational
technical,
high
school,
the
city's
only
vocational
high
school.
I
It
desperately
needs
repairs,
upgraded
technology
and
expanded
classroom
space,
but
the
budget
is
not
the
end
for
us
to
epilim
implement
change.
Nor
is
it
the
end
of
our
advocacy
on
behalf
of
our
students,
parents,
teachers
and
school
communities.
Today,
I
will
be
voting
YES
on
the
education
budget
and
will
continue
to
advocate
and
work
towards
improving
our
education
system
for
our
families
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Again,
this
is
not
a
perfect
budget
and
there
are
still
many
investments
that
I've
asked
to
be
added
to
the
budget.
I
am
disappointed.
I
We
weren't
able
to
increase
funding
for
the
mobile
Sharps
team
with
the
city
collecting
almost
700
needles
last
year.
It
is
critical
that
we
increase
funding
for
that
and
look
for
ways
to
mitigate
the
challenges
of
improperly
discarded
needles,
I'm,
also
hopeful
that
we
will
find
time
to
invest
in
an
increase
the
number
of
best
clinicians
those
mental
health
professionals
that
partner
with
our
Boston
Police
Department,
to
address
the
impacts
of
mental
health
on
our
criminal
justice
system.
I
Ultimately,
I
am
taking
my
vote
because
this
budget
is
a
culmination
of
advocacy
and
past
budget
cycles
and
serves
as
a
strong
foundation
for
the
work
ahead.
I
look
forward
to
continuing
down
this
path
with
my
colleagues
on
the
council,
the
residents
of
Boston
and,
of
course,
the
administration.
Thank
you
thank.
J
J
Opportunities
for
me
to
explore
to
make
phone
calls
I
just
really
appreciate
that
patience
and
that
kindness
and
reaching
out
you
weren't,
even
trying
to
convince
me
to
come
to
your
site,
but
just
trying
to
convince
me
or
tell
me
about
ways
in
which
I
could
advocate
for
my
site
even
better
and
I.
I.
Think
I
really
do
appreciate
that
leadership
and
that
kindness
I
want
to
thank,
as
many
of
my
colleagues
have
all
the
central
staff
individuals
who
have
come
forward.
J
Who've
helped
out
immensely
also
staying
here,
late
nights
for
all
of
our
hearings,
but
especially
during
budget
season.
It's
a
special
kind
of
time
for
us
and
I
just
want
to
appreciate
all
of
the
work
that
they've
done.
I
am
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
Capitol
and
then
operating
and
then
I'll
get
to
the
school
budget.
J
With
regard
to
the
capital
budget,
I'm
very
very
proud
to
say
that
district
1
did
very
well
in
this
budget,
and
there
are
many
investments,
especially
and
one
thing
that
I'm
very
passionate
about
in
that
is
housing.
For
the
first
time,
the
city
of
Boston
is
going
to
be
bonding
and
housing
for
to
the
tune
of
30
million
dollars.
To
assure
that
the
largest
housing
development
in
New
England
is
getting
the
infuse
of
funding
that
it
needs
in
order
to
provide
dignified,
safe,
clean
housing
for
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
individuals.
J
I
support
that
and
I
thank
the
mayor
and
administration
for
their
leadership.
In
doing
that,
I
think
it's
incredibly
important
also
to
note
and
highlight
the
partnership
in
East
Boston
master
plan
and
going
forward
literally
I,
understand,
mark
our
colleagues
and
the
BPD
a
are
walking
on
the
streets
of
East
Boston
with
East
Bostonians
to
make
sure
that
our
neighborhood
is
actually
part
of
designing
and
planning
for
our
future.
J
I
think
one
of
the
best
ways
for
the
city
to
do
that
is
to
look
at
the
resource
that
we
have
and
I
believe.
The
mayor
announced
in
his
State
of
the
City,
the
Human
Rights
Commission,
would
be
coming
back
and
I
just
want
to
note
that
that
is
by
far
one
of
the
most
progressive
institutions
that
we
have
and
the
protections
that
many
of
us
have
in
Boston.
J
J
I
am
critical
still
of
the
amount
of
investment
and
I
think
it's
a
half
a
million
dollars
in
just
training
alone,
because
I,
don't
believe
training
is
actually
fixing
anything
I.
Think
it
is.
It's
really
helping
with
some
conversations
but
I
don't
see
a
true
investment
in
actually
fixing
the
systemic
bias.
The
Human
Rights
Commission
has
investigatory
powers.
J
Think
we
got
additional
for
Hokies
just
for
this
summer,
and
that
is
in
response
to
the
fact
that
in
the
the
area,
the
North
End
that
I
represent,
we
get
two
million
tourists
a
year
and
so
to
see
the
push
from
the
administration
to
make
sure
that
we
had
the
resources
to
respond
to
that.
The
investment
capital
investment
in
the
parks
in
the
North
End
and
nice
Boston
I
do
want
to
thank
them
for,
for
those
continued
investments.
J
Same
goes
for,
as
my
colleague
needs
to
sabe
George
noted
the
investment
I'm
excited
about
Long
Island
I'm
excited
to
see
get
what
we
a
step
closer
to
making
sure
that
we
have
a
recovery
compass
that
so
many
of
us
so
desperately
need
and
I
also
want
to
thank
BTU.
It
was
their
advocacy
honestly
that
got
many
of
the
things
that
we
needed
for
our
school
budget
to
assure
equity,
and
so
it
is
their
leadership
that
I
am
I,
am
very
proud
to
support
and
voting
for
their
ultimate
their
their
contracts.
J
That
being
said,
I
want
to
thank
I,
want
to
thank
the
parents
from
Charlestown
who
are
here
today.
I
want
to
thank
the
parents
and
the
students
from
East
Boston,
who
were
who
showed
up
at
the
school
committee
meeting
who
showed
up
here
in
this
City
Council
hearing
I
want
to
thank
the
parents
at
the
Warren
Prescott,
who
organized
and
had
bps
come
to
them.
I
want
to
thank
my
community
for
standing
up
to
bps,
consistently
to
fight
for
their
communities
and
I'm.
J
Sorry
to
say
that
this
budget
is
not
a
response
in
any
way
shape
or
form
of
of
a
bps
that
is
listening
to
district
1.
This
budget
cuts
my
district
more
than
any
other
district
in
the
city
of
Boston
by
2.6
million
dollars.
If
a
budget
is
a
reflection
of
the
values
of
a
government,
then
it's
very
clear
that
bps
does
not
value
district
1
schools,
1.2
million
dollars
of
that
2.6
is
just
coming
from
East
Boston
high
school.
J
We
are
dealing
with
a
displacement
crisis
and
the
weighted
student
formula
does
not
account
for
displacement
that
a
community
is
dealing
with
now.
The
mental
emotional
physical
impacts
on
learning
that
displacement
has
it
that
it
does
to
students
is
the
same,
or
it
presents
the
same
for
students
who
are
dealing
with
homelessness.
That
means
displacement
does
impact
your
ability
to
learn,
and
that
means
when
you're
talking
about
a
way
to
store
the
formula.
You
cannot
simply
look
at
who's,
not
there
and
then
cut
the
budget
and
then
say
this
placement
has
no
impact
you.
J
J
There's
no
commitment
to
make
it
part
of
the
weighted
student
formula
when
we're
dealing
with
the
fact
that
in
the
same
community
down
the
street,
we
have
a
growing
charter
school
brand-new,
high
school,
that's
gonna
be
built
in
East
Boston,
when
I
as
a
parent
have
to
decide
where
I'm
gonna
send
my
kid
I
can
send
it
to
the
school
that
BPS
has
decided
to
give
up
on
or
I
can
send
it
to
the
brand-new
charter
school.
What
do
you
think
they're
gonna
do
this?
J
Only
exasperate
sidess
asked
the
displacement
and
they're
running
away
of
our
public
schools.
You
go
to
the
other
side,
my
community
of
Charlestown,
and
we
have
families
who
are
moving
out,
not
because
they
can't
pay
rent
as
in
East
Boston,
but
because
they
have
no
actual
committed
plan
from
BPS
for
their
children.
We
do
not
have
enough
spaces
for
K
1
and
K
0
students
in
Charlestown.
We
do
not
have
a
commitment
from
BPS
to
given
those
spaces
and
well
I.
J
Do
appreciate
and
I
saw
bps
respond
in
such
a
quick
swift
way
for
giving
us
a
modular
classroom
in
the
middle
of
the
school
year
for
a
million
dollars
to
the
warm
Prescott.
I.
Do
appreciate
that
that
that
falls
very
short.
When
we
asked
for
an
actual
commitment
to
assure
that
the
Edwards
middle
school
will
be
a
space
for
families
and
Charlestown
to
grow
into
I.
Don't
have
that
commitment
from
BPS,
don't
have
it
and
we
have
a
press
release
from
VPS.
J
That
is
not
the
same
thing
when
we
ask
for
timelines,
and
we
ask
for
actual
commitment,
we
didn't
get
it
so
what
I
have
from
bps
budget
cuts
and
a
press
release
I
have
no
confirmation
and
no
no
plan
for
my
parents
in
East,
Boston
or
Charlestown
I
have
no
idea
what
to
tell
my
parents
who
are
trying
to
figure
out
what
to
do
with
their
fourth
graders.
My
parents
are
trying
to
figure
out
what
to
do
with
the
lack
of
spaces
for
the
k1
and
KZ
rows
in
Charlestown.
J
This
this
budget
is
embarrassing.
It's
wrong.
It
is
not
helpful
and
while
it
may
be
the
largest
budget
ever
for
BPS,
it
is
the
largest
cuts
from
my
district.
I
cannot
turn
back
to
my
constituents.
The
people
that
I
represent
and
say
I
support
this
budget
for
bps
I
do
think
BPS
can
rise,
but
right
now
at
the
budget
stands
it
freezes
in
the
inequality
that
already
exists.
In
my
neighborhood,
some
parents
got
resources
in
the
middle
of
the
school
year.
J
I
had
black
and
brown
parents
come
here,
cry
beg
and
ask
for
additional
resources,
and
they
were
at.
They
were
completely
ignored.
The
budget
was
resubmitted
with
no
additional
soft
landing,
and
while
they
mentioned
that
there
was
some
form
we
went
from.
15
teachers
gone
from
East,
Boston,
High
School
to
13
I.
Don't
call
that
soft
I
call
that
ignorant
I
call
that
dismissing
of
our
largest
high
school
and
I
cannot
support
that.
J
K
Well,
Thank
You,
council
co-moh
for
providing
exceptional
guidance
and
in
friendship
when
I
started,
along
with,
along
with
Kim
and
Lydia,
showing
us
the
budget
process,
how
it
works
and
being
a
great,
a
great
teacher
and
a
great
friend
so
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you,
Mach
for
outstanding
work
as
the
chair
of
the
ways
and
means.
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Michelle
and
central
staff
here
on
the
council
for
working.
So
many
long
nights
and
getting
all
the
documents
prepared,
scheduling
prepared.
K
So
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
central
staff
for
excellent.
We
rep
dryness
there
during
this
period.
I
also
want
to,
as
my
colleagues
have
also
mentioned,
Emma
and
Justin
for
working
closely
with
the
City
Council,
along
with
Neil
in
the
mayor's
office,
in
being
as
transparent
and
helpful
as
you
possibly
could.
K
I'm
also
going
to
vote
in
the
affirmative
on
the
operating
the
capital
in
the
education
budget
and
I
won't
highlight
all
the
reasons,
but
one
issue
that
was
really
critical
to
me.
That
I
noticed
that
it
was
increased
almost
over
a
hundred
percent,
but
was
the
language
and
community
access
and
went
from
200
last
year,
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
over
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
this
year,
and
that
is
providing
language
assistance,
language
access
to
people
that
don't
speak.
English.
That
may
speak
another
language.
K
So
it's
giving
people
the
opportunity
to
make
sure
their
voice
is
heard
in
city
government
if
they
don't
speak.
English
so
I
think
that's
a
great
accomplishment
for
the
mayor's
office
for
the
advocacy
on
all
of
my
colleagues
who
supported
it,
but
especially
for
the
residents
of
Boston
that
don't
speak
English,
that
their
voice
will
be
heard
in
city
government
and
that's
something
we
all
can
be
proud
of
and
again.
I
just
want
to
highlight
the
the
great
work
of
the
city
councilors
in
making
sure
that
the
voices
of
Boston
residents
are
heard.
K
Listening
to
their
concerns
at
supermarkets
said
bingos
that
at
community
meetings,
community
forums,
but
the
residents
really
weighed
in
to
me
and
to
to
the
other
councillors
as
well
on
what
their
priorities
are,
and
it
was
our
job
to
effectively
advocate
on
their
behalf.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
your
leadership
on
on
this
budget
as
well
and
to
the
mayor's
office
Thank
You.
Mr.
chairman,.
A
Thank
You
councillor,
siamo
and
I
first,
of
course,
want
to
start
by
thanking
you
not
just
as
chair
ways
and
means,
but,
as
my
vice
I
appreciate
you,
your
dedication
to
public
service
you've
been
working
for
the
city
for
a
very
long
time,
their
dedication
as
a
district
council
and,
of
course,
your
leadership
of
one
of
the
most
important
committees,
the
Boston
City
Council.
Thank
you
for
always
taking
my
late-night
phone
calls
and
my
calls
on
the
weekend
and
always
holding
my
confidence
and
appreciate
that
you
truly
will
miss
you
on
the
council.
A
I
also,
of
course,
want
to
thank
the
vice
chair,
councillor
McCarthy,
who
stepped
in,
of
course,
when
either
you
were
sick.
The
last
minute
something
happened.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership
as
well,
and,
of
course,
you
will
be
missed
as
well
as
you
move
on
to
greener
pastures.
I
guess.
I
also
want
to
thank,
of
course,
my
colleagues
for
their
work,
their
attendance
of
the
hearings,
councillor
asabi
George,
her
leadership
with
the
Education
Committee,
but
particularly
during
the
budget
cycle.
It's
a
lot
of
hearings
to
manage.
A
She
was
at
every
single
one,
working
extremely
hard
for
all
of
us
who
could
not
always
show
up
at
every
hearing,
so
Thank
You
councillor,
sorry,
George!
Thank
you
to
essential
staff.
All
of
central
staff
plays
a
role
in
this
and
it's
been
an
incredible
honor
frankly
to
to
lead
them
as
council
president
and
Michelle.
You
have
done
a
remarkable
job
taking
over
for
Kate
who
we're
all
loved
and
you
did
it
just
seamless.
A
So
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
for
your
work
and,
of
course,
everyone
in
the
central
staff
team
for
working
in
partnership
with
you.
It
was
a
lot
of
late
nights
and
weekends.
So
thank
you
think
of
court.
Thank
you,
of
course,
in
administration,
the
mayor,
his
administration,
Emma
Justin
their
incredible
team
in
the
budget
office.
They
always
answered
our
questions
and
came
with
thoughtful
responses
and
really
tried
to
work
with
us
all.
The
time.
Neil,
of
course,
has
a
very
tough
job
and
going
back
and
forth
I
always
thank
him
and
applaud
his
work.
A
It's
not
an
easy
job
to
be
Neil,
so
Neil.
Thank
you
as
well
for
the
work
that
you
do
on
behalf
of
the
administration,
but
also
coordinating
with
the
council
and
I.
Think
many
folks
have
already
said
this
last,
but
certainly
not
least,
I
also
want
to
thank
my
team.
I
have
an
incredible
team
nigh
on
ele,
my
chief
of
staff,
Caroline
Cheryl
Dustin
CJ,
all
of
our
fellows
Kyle
as
well.
Who's
at
the
front
desk
I
have
an
incredible
team
and
each
one
participated
in
different
ways.
A
Based
on
the
constituent
cases
we
got,
they
went
through
those
thousands
of
cases
to
come
up
with
questions
to
come
up
with
thoughts
and
ideas
to
form
the
budget.
This
cycle,
we
did
it
very
differently.
Everyone
truly
participated.
So
thank
you
to
my
incredible
team
and,
of
course,
to
the
interns
and
the
fellows.
A
So
we
don't
just
sort
of
see
the
inequities
on
paper.
We
are
living
and
breathing
at
every
single
day.
My
district
is
a
wine.
If
you
want
to
know
about
the
inequities
in
education
transportation,
any
issue
you
can
imagine
will
come
in
to
district
4.
You
will
see
it
is
readily
apparent.
It
is
quite
visible
and
I
always
say.
If
you
solve
the
issues
of
district
4,
you
solve
the
issues
of
the
entire
city
of
Boston,
so
it
is
an
honor
and
a
privilege
to
represent
that
district.
A
Predominately,
a
district
of
color
definitely
has
pockets
and
Cub
concentrations
of
poverty,
but
it's
an
honor
and
privilege
to
represent
that
district,
because
I
also
have
residents
who
step
up
every
single
day,
regardless
of
the
demographic
I
mean
where
they
live
in
that
community
to
work
together
to
solve
the
inequities
every
single
day,
and
their
expectation,
of
course,
is
that
government
is
going
to
respond.
Take
their
ideas,
maybe
every
once
in
a
while
give
them
the
credit
for
their
ideas
and
then
act
upon
it
to
close
those
inequities.
A
So
I
applaud
the
operating
and
capital
budget.
I
think
it
does
a
really
great
job
in
trying
to
close
those
inequities.
Some
of
the
ideas
that
we
see
within
the
budget
are
ideas
that
came
from
the
community,
and
that
includes,
of
course,
pushing
for
investments.
You
know
unsolved
murders.
It
was
great
to
see
an
investment
in
the
police
department
to
try
to
address
that
issue.
Something
I've
been
passionate
about
for
a
really
long
time
on
the
cadet
program
for
the
Boston
Fire
Department
is
a
great
investment.
A
This
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
make
sure
that
our
public
safety
agencies
reflec
the
demographics
of
the
city
of
Boston,
an
issue
that
is
very
important
to
the
constituents.
In
my
district,
of
course,
Long
Island
and
anything
we
can
do
to
address
the
issue
of
opioids
and
substance.
Abuse
is
important.
There's
investments
around
mental
health
in
our
health
commission
to
do
some
innovative
things,
there's
a
lot
of
great
things
there
and
for
that
I
will
be
voting
for
both
the
operating
budget
and
the
capital
budget.
A
And
although
there
are
no
dollar
amounts
attached
to
the
operating
budget,
I
was
recently
proud
to
have
some
conversations
with
the
administration
to
get
their
commitment
to
move
us
forward
when
it
comes
to
racial
equity,
training.
Ours
articulated
by
the
executive
order
that
the
mayor
signed
under
the
leadership
of
Laurie
Nelson,
it's
great
to
assign
executive
orders
and
pass
ordinances,
but
if
there
is
no
financial
or
dollar
amount
attached
to
that.
A
Well,
how
are
you
going
to
do
it
and
I
was
promised
and
was
and
I
think
the
commitment
was
made
to
this
body
that
there
are
resources
that
we
can
pull
from
to
make
sure
that
our
department
heads
our
departments
are
trained
and
equipped
to
deal
with
bias
inequities
and
to
have
the
tools
to
solve
these
issues.
The
very
thing
we
were
actually
undergoing
right
here
at
the
council:
a
racial
equity
training
by
getting
investments
external
dollars
to
make
that
happen
here.
A
I
think
it's
something
that
every
department
should
go
through,
so
I'm
excited
for
that
commitment
and
although
there
also
is
no
dollar
amount,
there
is
a
commitment
by
the
administration
to
work
with
us
to
also
invest
in
technology
for
the
Boston
City
Council.
It
is
sad
that
in
2019,
some
of
my
colleagues
may
be
using
manila
paper
folders
for
constituent
cases.
That
is
ridiculous
and
so
I
am
excited
for
in
working
with
do
it
the
budget
office
to
finally
get
a
case
management
system
for
the
council
as
we
handle
thousands
of
constituent
cases
every
year.
A
It
is
extremely
difficult
to
really
coordinate
that
to
do
that
really.
Well.
For
our
constituents,
our
residents
without
such
a
system,
in
addition,
if
we
are
really
creative,
we
have
four
at-large
councilors,
of
course,
district
councillors
that
may
be
working
on
the
same
case.
At
the
same
time,
why
not
have
technology
that
could
help
streamline
these
processes
and
make
it
more
efficient,
thereby,
of
course
the
needs
of
our
constituents
regarding
the
bps
budget.
A
It
wasn't
easy
easy
decision
and
it
definitely
isn't
an
easy
decision
now,
but
when
I
think
about
my
constituents
when
I
think
about
the
inequities
that
exist,
particularly
in
the
education
space
in
my
district,
I,
have
to
speak
for
my
residents
and
the
best
way
to
do
that
is
to
vote
no
on
this
budget.
I
sat
in
budget
hearings.
Of
course,
I
still
have
questions
and
I've
asked
in
previous
years
about.
Where
is
the
money
going?
A
I.
Also,
of
course,
always
ask
questions,
and
this
is
probably
similar
to
questions
that
councilor
Janie
always
brings
up
as
well
around
equity,
which
is
how
are
we
closing
the
achievement
gap?
How
does
the
district
define
equity
and
one
of
my
one
of
the
hearings
equity
kept
popping
up?
The
word
just
sort
of
was
just
thrown
around
and
I
asked
I
said
well,
I'm
curious.
How
do
we
define
equity,
and
a
few
folks
on
the
panel
said?
That's
a
good
question.
A
I
have
a
problem
with
that.
If
schools
that
are
serving
our
most
vulnerable
students-
and,
of
course
this
includes
East
Boston
high
school,
it
also
includes
the
Lea
Lea
school
in
my
district
and
some
others
that
are
facing
some
drastic
cuts
that
have
not
been
restored.
Equity,
surely
is
not
the
lens
we're
using
to
close
the
achievement
gaps
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
English
language,
learners
and
special
needs
students,
or
to
really
help
our
open,
enrollment
high
schools,
where
the
largest
concentration
of
the
most
needy
students
special
needs?
Students,
English
language
learners,
are
concentrated.
A
These
schools
have
a
difficult
task
to
meet
the
needs
of
those
students
and
are
struggling
to
do
so
because
of
the
concentration
of
those
students,
in
particular
schools.
Because
of
the
concentration
of
certain
types
of
program
strands
in
particular
schools.
They
need
resources.
They
need
us
to
think
differently
about
resourcing
their
school
versus
another
school
that
may
not
have
similar
needs
because
their
students
are
high-performing.
A
That
is
the
kind
of
conversation
I
want
the
district
to
be
having
and
to
respond
to
via
the
budget,
but
rather
than
stay
in
a
space
of
what
is
not
working
over
the
course
of
six
months
and
of
course,
years
before
this
is
my
fourth
year
and
the
council,
through
many
conversations,
I
put
forth
an
action
plan
earlier
this
week.
That
was
informed
by
so
many
folks.
A
Some
who
work
in
the
system
some
who
work
at
schools
in
my
district
outside
my
district
who
work
at
bps
central
office,
who
are
retired
from
bps
community
folks
activists,
hearings
that
this
council
has
held
under
the
leadership
of
not
just
councilor
asabi
George,
but
many
others,
including
folks
who
are
in
the
past,
I,
put
forth
a
plan
that
one
offers
a
definition
of
equity
and
I
told
our
recent
or
incoming
superintendent.
She
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
adopt
that
definition,
but
I
think
it's
a
starting
point,
I'm,
not
just
about
talking
about
the
problems.
A
I
also
like
to
come
up
with
solutions
and
ideas,
and
so
the
definition
that
we
come
up
with
base.
It
wasn't
me
sitting
in
a
vacuum
or
in
my
living
room
coming
up
with
this.
All
by
myself,
it
was
informed
by
many
stakeholders,
as
equity
is
giving
every
child
what
they
need
to
succeed
in
school
and
to
pursue
the
life
of
their
choosing
in
Boston.
We
must
commit
to
the
idea
that
those
who
have
the
least
deserve
the
most
from
our
public
schools.
A
We
haven't
done
that
and
this
event
this
budget
and
programming's
attached
to
it
with
the
lack
of
accountability,
has
not
demonstrated
that
and
I'll
give
you
one
stat
I
live
in
Mattapan
like
I
just
said:
what's
that
my
son,
who
I
altima
ly,
want
to
go
to
bps
like
I
did,
but
if
you
live
in
Mattapan,
you
have
a
5%
chance
at
attending
a
quality
school.
You
live
in
downtown,
neighborhoods
or
other
neighborhoods,
including
Charlestown.
Those
data
on
this
80%
chance
80%
chance
to
find
and
attend
a
high
quality
school.
A
That
tells
me
something
is
terribly
wrong
in
the
system
and
until
a
budget
or
planned
addresses
that
I
can't
support
it.
In
addition,
we
talked
about
flipping
the
paradigm
of
the
central
office.
I,
think
all
of
us
have
heard
the
central
office
and
many
do
not
think
particularly
our
students
and
our
families
that
they
serve
them,
and
so
the
report
calls
for
us
to
literally
flip
the
paradigm
and
says
it
our
our
schools
are
accountable
to
supporting
I'm.
Sorry,
let
me
just
read
this
again.
A
This
is
what
happens
when
you
can't
read
your
own
writing
when
you
take
notes
on
the
place,
but
our
schools
are
accountable
for
supporting
our
students,
and
our
families
and
central
office,
of
course,
is
accountable
for
supporting
our
schools,
not
the
other
way
around,
and
it
often
doesn't
feel
like
that
in
some
of
my
school
visits.
Folks
feel
as
though
they
are
disconnected
either
from
the
central
office
or
if
they
are
connected
they're
receiving
mandates
versus
work
feeling
like
they're
working
in
collaboration
or
partnership.
A
Our
students
and
our
families
feel
like
they're
not
even
being
heard
sometimes
by
central
office,
and
this
by
no
means
is
a
knocking
on
the
hardworking
employees
at
central
office
that
do
their
work
every
single
day.
It's
just
what
we
hear
from
our
constituents
and
I
think
it's
time
to
shift
the
way
in
which
the
central
office
shows
up
with
respect
to
education
issues.
We
need
to
enhance
our
incitement
systems
to
ensure
that
student
in
every
neighborhood
have
equitable
access
to
quality
school
seats,
including
our
English
language,
learners
and
our
special
needs.
A
A
We
don't
need
another
report
to
demonstrate
just
how
important
early
edie
is
and
right
now,
if
you
are
a
parent
in
Boston,
it
is
extremely
difficult
to
navigate
the
process
to
actually
find
out
what
is
available
to
you
as
a
parent
as
a
family
from
birth
to
five
years
old,
we
could
be
doing
a
lot
better
and
be
more
progressive
than
we
currently
are
when
it
comes
to
early
IDI.
In
addition,
we
need
high
schools,
of
course,
that
prepare
our
students
for
the
future
and
for
success
after
graduation.
The
district
needs
to
be
held
accountable.
A
They
need
to
make
concrete
amendments
and
attach
real
accountability.
Metrics
to
that
and
as
a
new
superintendent
begins,
her
appointment
in
Boston
I'm
excited
for
it,
because
it's
a
pivotal
time
and
it's
an
opportunity
for
change-
and
this,
of
course
is
my
vote-
is
by
no
means
a
knock
on
her
or
our
interim
superintendent,
who
has
been
incredible
to
work
with
Laura
came
in
as
interim
with
a
difficult
task,
and
so
I
just
want
to
applaud
her.
Thank
her
anytime
I
sent
her
an
email
or
called
her.
She
was
extremely
responsive.
A
I've
learned
a
great
deal
from
her
even
before
she
was
interim
and
I
applaud.
Her
in
this
vote
is
by
no
means
a
knock
on
her
leadership
at
all.
I
look
forward,
though,
to
working
with
the
new
superintendent
as
she
looks
to
make
meaningful
change
for
all
of
our
families,
but
ultimately,
taking
action
to
improve
our
schools
is
a
matter
of
public
and
political
will.
A
We
all
must
demand,
and
that's
all
of
us,
those
who
are
in
this
space,
of
course,
outside
of
this
space,
that
the
pace
of
change
that
we
see
in
bps
rise
to
meet
the
urgency
of
our
children's
needs
and
right
now
we
are
far
from
that
and
if
you
spend
any
time
in
my
district,
you
will
see
that
every
single
day
and
if
we're
talking
about
incidents
of
violence
and
we've
had
many
in
our
district.
Recently,
we
have
to
talk
about
the
root
causes
of
why
some
of
our
young
people
feel
hopeless.
A
Some
of
them
maybe
went
to
the
bps
system
and
didn't
make
it
to
the
end,
because
there
was,
it
didn't,
serve
them
well,
some
of
them
have
graduated
from
bps,
but
can't
read
or
write
at
the
level
in
which
they
require
to
so
this
system
is
failing
from
our
students.
Don't
get
me
wrong.
There
are
other
systems
that
are
failing
our
students
as
well,
and
some
of
that
is
personal
and
involving
many
other
systems
and
players.
A
But
our
job
on
this
body
requires
us
to
meet
their
needs
and
BPS
is
such
a
large
percentage
of
our
budget.
For
almost
40%
that
we
really
have
to
ask
really
tough
questions
and
push
for
change
and
for
it
to
happen
sooner
and
for
me,
this
work
is
not
just
professional
in
the
sense
that
we
are
required
to
do
that
because
we
are
counselors
and
our
budget
is
our
biggest
budget
review
is
our
biggest
responsibility.
It
is
deeply
personal
to
me.
I
was
a
product
of
VPS
schools
and
born
and
raised
in
the
city.
A
I
went
to
five
of
them.
I
went
to
the
Bradley
in
East
Boston,
the
Harvard
Kent
in
Charlestown,
the
Blackstone
in
the
south
and
the
Timothy
in
Roxbury,
Boston,
Latin
School,
all
across
the
city.
Every
one
of
those
schools
was
excellent.
You
can't
actually
say
that
about
some
of
those
schools.
Today,
I
go
off
to
an
Ivy
League
university
I
go
off
to
law
school
and
by
all
metrics
I'm,
successful.
Well,
I.
A
A
I
will
keep
pushing
and
pushing
and
demanding
that
that
change
happen,
but,
of
course,
offering
suggestions
in
ideas
not
simply
calling
out
the
problem
but
being
a
part
of
the
solution,
and
of
course
I
am
happy
that
many
of
my
colleagues,
of
course
get
that
and
I
hope
you
would
join
me
in
doing
the
same,
but
again
Thank
You,
councillor
co-moh,
for
your
leadership.
Thank
you
to
my
colleagues
on
this
body
for
your
work
in
this
space
as
well.
Thank.
F
C
You
very
much
mr.
vice
chair.
Thank
you
also
for
your
service,
thanks
to
central
staff
and
my
staff,
of
course,
I'm
not
go
on
and
on
thanks
everybody.
How
about
that?
We'll
just
do
that.
I
want
to
talk
first
about
the
capital
budget.
This
is
my
sixth
and
final
budget
and
I
will
tell
you
that
district,
five
and
I
believe
the
entire
city.
The
capital
expenses
that
the
Walsh
administration
has
sunk
in
to
Boston
is
truly
second
to
none.
We've
rebuilt
four
or
five
even
six
parks
in
District
five.
C
There's
50
million
dollars
added
to
the
budget
this
year
and
38
million
of
that
is
going
to
the
btu
contract.
I
think
it's
unconscionable
to
hand
dr.
cassellius
a
112
budget
before
she's
even
started
on
a
112
budget,
we're
taking
money
away
from
our
kids
and
we're
taking
away
money
from
our
teachers,
so
I'll
be
affirmative
vote
on
the
bps
contract
as
well
as
chair
of
Public
Safety
and
criminal
justice.
You
know,
working
with
Commissioner
grass
has
been
an
honor
working
with
his
command
staff.
C
C
As
we
talk
about
a
new
Police
Academy,
building
new
fire
stations,
building
new
EMS
stations,
I
hope
that
whoever
sits
in
this
seat
and
I
know
the
people
who
will
remain,
who
are
remaining
or
hope
to
remain
here
in
the
next
couple
years,
continue
to
push
for
the
for
the
men
and
the
women
of
the
public
safety
divisions
in
our
in
our
city
for
the
best
best
equipment
and
the
best
facilities
for
them.
As
the
city
grows.
C
L
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
Every
budget
cycle
allows
the
City
Council
our
constituents,
in
collaboration
with
the
administration,
to
look
back
at
how
we
invest
in
our
services
in
and
resources
for
the
city,
and
we
also
get
an
opportunity
to
look
at
where
we
could
do
better
in
this
budget
season.
There's
no
exception
to
that,
and
and
it's
really
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
city
government.
L
It's
it's
basic
city
services
and
we
are
expanding
the
human
capital
for
instructional
services
to
ensure
that
the
department
has
the
ability
to
enforce
the
short-term
rental
ordinance
that
this
body
passed
last
year,
they'll
be
adding
new
staffers
inspectors
and
clerks
dedicated
to
do
that.
Work
they'll
also
be
collaborating
with
do
it
to
create
vital
online
registration
as
well
as
data
collection
that
will
help
us
make
better
decisions
in
the
future,
and
that
will
also
help
us
with
the
rental
inspection
portion
of
inspectional
services,
as
well
as
code
enforcement,
roading
control
and
the
health
inspectors.
L
So
that's
a
big
win
for
ISD
we're,
also
expanding
the
supply
of
affordable
housing
in
investing
in
programs
that
will
help
preserve
affordability,
to
support
efforts
to
end
chronic
homelessness.
I
also
will
be
supportive
of
the
budgetary
proposals
made
by
the
Boston
cyclists
Union
in
Massachusetts
vision,
zero
coalition
to
address
the
need
to
have
safer,
protected
bike
lanes
and
consider
ways
to
eradicate
traffic
related
incidents.
I
think
a
big
crucial
piece
of
that
was
the
transportation
analyst
position
that
was
put
in,
and
that's
obviously
with
the
intention
of
looking
at
the
data.
L
So
we
can
get
to
zero.
The
goal
is
to
get
to
zero
having
that
data
and
maybe
expanding
on
some
additional
enhancements
that
may
be
necessary.
That
will
help
us
as
well
on
the
public
safety
note
in
the
violence
prevention
into
our
chair
has
done
a
great
job
in
actually
hearing
last
night
to
discuss
community
concern,
particularly
around
preventative
strategies.
L
So
I
think
this
is
a
worthwhile
effort
to
target
the
25
to
30
year
old
sector
to
see
if
we
can
continue
to
do
more
for
them.
Further,
we've
heard
the
need
around
unsolved.
Homicides.
I
can
speak
to
this
personally,
having
had
a
cousin
that
was
murdered,
the
additional
budget
support
to
add
additional
positions
to
the
forensic
unit
that
will
help
tremendously
I.
Think
in
terms
of
bringing
closure
for
friends
and
families
that
have
lost
a
loved
one
due
to
violence
and
helping
bring
a
bring
about
that
justice
will
be,
will
be
extremely
important.
L
So
that's
another
big
plus
and
the
sort
of
the
public
safety
unsolved
homicides,
the
bps
budget,
always
a
significant
portion
of
the
budget
process,
would
have
made
significant
significant
investments
in
our
school
system
through
bill
BPS.
Some
of
these
facilities
just
got
pushed
off
while
we
were
just
doing
some
patchwork
to
finally
get
to
a
point
where
we're
putting
in
sort
of
a
real,
concerted
effort
around
making
major
upgrades
and
improvements
around
our
schools
in
a
very
thoughtful
way.
L
L
That's
truly
a
hugs
and
high-five
moment:
it's
not
just
about
graduating
our
kids,
it's
about
making
sure
that
they
have
an
opportunity
to
get
into
these
great
schools
graduate
from
these
schools
and
take
a
look
outside
of
this
building.
All
the
cranes
that
are
in
the
sky,
land,
all
the
companies
that
are
coming
here,
major
investment
coming
here.
L
I
know
that
we've
had
great
partners.
It
started
this
budget
sided
obviously
with
with
Kate
Sullivan.
They
know
that
we
have
Michelle
Goldberg
along
with
Cora
Shayne
Kerry
Candice,
all
supporting,
along
with
that
central
staff,
giving
you
the
resources
that
you
need
to
assist
your
colleagues
and
getting
that
information
back
and
forth
from
the
government.
Clearly,
mail
goes
back
and
forth
on
a
pretty
regular
basis,
but
and
also
a
kudos
to
the
mayor's
budget
team.
I
know
Emma,
handy
and
Justin
here,
they've
done
a
lot
of
work
on
it.
L
So
it's
a
collective
effort
in
that.
It's
also
noting
that,
from
on
behalf
of
the
school,
the
school
superintendent
gets
to
hit
the
ground
running,
because
she
has
two
very
capable
folks
that
have
done
time
here
and
that's
rockin
Sabo
and
Emma
McDonald.
They
do
great
work
too
here
again
today.
They
care
deeply
about
loss
of
the
Boston
Public
Schools,
the
role
of
the
council
in
the
legislative
branch,
the
city
government,
but
also
their
role
with
working
with
the
administration
to
get
to
yes
to
get
to
that
best
product.
L
G
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
want
to
echo
the
thanks
all
around
and
especially
to
chairman
co-moh,
who
I
think
has
just
has
already
made
orientation.
I,
don't
know
what
we'll
do
without
you,
but
also
sat
me
down
early
on
and
I
had
the
pleasure
and
privilege
of
serving
as
your
vice
chair
for
a
little
bit
of
your
tenure
in
that
role.
So
I
know
firsthand
how
hard
you
work.
How
much
goes
into
it,
how
hard
your
staff
works?
So
I'm
just
want
to.
Thank
you
so
much
for
many
many
years.
G
Thank
you,
of
course,
to
our
central
staff
to
Madam
President
for
making
sure
to
advocate
for
the
council
as
an
institution
in
the
budget
as
well
and
and
some
of
those
changes
that
are
going
to
be
so
transformational
for
us.
Thank
you
to
the
administration
and
the
Emma
and
Justin
and
and
Neil
and
and
Rob
and
Ellen,
and
the
entire
team
for
coming
back
at
again
and
again.
G
I
want
to
commend
the
administration
for
for
being
very
responsive
to
councilors
concerns
to
community
concerns.
I
think
much
has
been
said
on
the
operations.
Budget
and
I
will
be
supporting
the
voting,
yes
to
support
the
investments
that
are
that
many
colleagues
have
described
on
that
front
and
including
the
the
changes
between
the
original
budget
and
the
resubmission
which
I
thought
were
again
a
mark
of
how
much
the
administration
has
been
listening.
G
The
beauty
of
city
government
is
that
we
can
drive
sweeping
systemic
change
while
also
building
it
step-by-step
wit,
with
tangible
actions,
and
so
the
budget
is
an
expression
of
our
values,
but
it's
also
the
plan
for
what
we're
going
to
do
in
the
next
year
and
I
just
want
to
spend
most
of
my
time
as
succinctly
as
possible.
Just
commenting
on
why
I
will
not
be
supporting
the
the
bps
portion
of
the
budget.
G
I
have
I
set
out
a
goal
for
myself
of
this
last
spring
of
getting
to
spend
some
time
in
every
single
one
of
our
high
schools
across
the
district.
This
spring
I
got
almost
there.
I
think
we
ended
at
22
of
them,
and
another
five
or
six
that
I
had
visited
in
previous
years,
so
saw
almost
every
piece
of
the
high
school
perspective
and
have
been
really
honored
to
also
push
alongside
councilor
sabi
George
and
councillor
Jamie
on
Madison
Park
in
particular.
G
So
when
you
look
at
the
district
just
from
again
that
that
tier
of
high
school,
it
is
heartbreaking,
the
inequities
across
the
system.
It
is
devastating
some
of
the
conditions
that
our
students
and
teachers
and
and
school
communities
are
having
to
face
day
after
day.
Thank
you
to
the
administration
as
well
for
addressing
some
of
those
issues,
some
of
the
the
low-hanging
fruit
that
I
brought
up
from
my
visits.
G
You
know:
shades
at
Brighton,
High,
School
and
more
support
for
janitorial
services
at
Orchard
guard
at
orchard,
gardens
and
efforts
to
support
the
needs
and
Trauma
supports
for
students
who
are
dealing
with
a
lot
given
the
location
of
the
school
and
its
proximity
to
the
opiate
crisis
in
Boston.
The
conditions
really
need
addressing
and
they
stand
in
stark
contrast,
beautiful
new
charter
schools
that
are
that
are
being
built
in
many
places
around
the
city.
G
The
second
thing
that
stands
out
is
the
resiliency
of
our
school
communities,
despite
some
of
what
we
see
kind
of
with
the
age
of
the
buildings
and
and
those
needs
teachers
working
so
hard.
Every
day,
students
ready
to
learn
school
leaders,
putting
every
ounce
of
creativity
into
balancing
the
numbers
and
making
it
work.
G
I
think
most
of
all,
what
stood
out
to
me
is
just
what's
at
stake
that
every
year
we
let
go
by
before
we
sort
out
the
enrollment
system
or
figure
out
how
to
better
support,
behavioral
health
needs
or
every
year
that
we
delay
is
another
class
of
high
schoolers.
That's
moved
on
and
hasn't
had
access
to
those
opportunities
every
year
that
we
delay.
Access
to
pre-k
and
early
education
is
another
set
of
families.
G
Thousands
of
future
Boston
leaders
who
are
leaving
the
district
and
maybe
even
leaving
the
city
and-
and
that
is
across
I-
mean
we've
heard
from
Charlestown
today,
and
we
heard
about
Matapan
and
in
East,
Boston
and
Roslindale.
It's
all
across
the
city,
this
lack
of
access,
and
so
my
vote
on
the
school
budget
is
mostly
around
the
need
for
actionable
plans
for
accountability
for
stability,
and
it
is
an
expression
of
wanting
to
do
my
job
and
setting
a
baseline
in
welcoming
the
superintendent
with
huge
arms
and
tremendous
excitement.
G
Ready
for
her
leadership
have
had
some
really
great
conversations
with
her
and
thank
her
so
much
for
coming
before
the
council
and
meeting
with
us
individually,
laying
out
her
plans
for
a
very
ambitious
agenda
in
her
first
hundred
days
and
the
plans
that
she
will
have
ready
by
that
bayern
December
of
this
next
school
year.
So
I
look
forward
to
supporting
her
in
that
working
with
her
so
that,
hopefully
we
will
be
at
a
place
next
budget
cycle
where
her
plans
have
been
have
gotten.
G
Feedback
from
a
community
have
been
put
into
place
and
we
are
starting
to
see
not
just
those
values,
but
the
action,
steps
and
the
accountability
so
I
think
most
of
all.
I
just
want
to
I
want
all
of
us
to
remember
the
role
and
the
scale
of
change
that
we
can
make.
If
we
just
keep
it
laser
focused
on
being
able
to
move
things
as
quickly
as
possible,
and
not
you
know,
year
after
year
after
year,
but
even
month
after
month
after
month.
Thank
you
thank.
M
You,
madam
president,
I
like
to
join
the
course
of
voices
thinking
a
good
chairman
of
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee
for
his
work
on
this
budget
and
the
many
before
it.
I
certainly
sits
in
that
chair
and
wields
that
gavel.
I
would
venture
as
many
hours
as
all
of
us
combined
in
the
typical
typical
budget
process.
M
I'm
pleased
with
the
budgets
that
we've
been
presented
here,
particularly
in
the
interactive
process,
through
our
hearings
through
the
resubmission
and
just
in
my
time
here
on
the
City
Council,
seeing
our
dramatically
increased
funding
for
parks
for
bps,
for
dressing,
homelessness
and
substance,
abuse,
vision,
zero
transportation,
planning,
all
things
that
start
off,
I
think
very
small.
When
this,
when
the
Walsh
administration
came
in
with
many
of
us,
came
to
the
council
in
2014
and
still
have
a
long
way
to
go
on
many
of
those.
M
But
the
consistent
investment
and
commitment
to
those
important
issues
has
really
shown
through
it.
I've
been
proud
to
support
those
efforts.
One
thing
I'd
like
to
see
in
a
future
budget
that
I
will
not
be
voting
on
that
has
not
been
here
is
I.
It
goes
hand-in-hand
with
the
bill
bps
program,
making
sure
that
in
all
of
our
neighborhoods
have
quality
public
schools,
I
think
it
does
mean
that
we
need
a
cait
eight
options
for
downtown
families
as
well.
That
has
continued
to
be
an
issue.
I
know
my
predecessor
worked
on
that
issue.
M
I
worked
on
it.
My
successor
will
and
I
look
forward
to
celebrating
that
someday,
but
I
think
this
is
a
responsible
budget,
fiscally
responsible,
socially
responsible,
the
people
that
we
represent
in
balancing
the
vast
and
challenging
priorities
for
a
thriving
city
like
Boston
I,
look
forward
to
voting
YES
on
this
and
continuing
to
work
with
you
all
on
the
administration
moving
forward.
Thank
you.
Thank.
N
N
In
my
whole
life,
we
played
on
parks
that
had
soils
in
the,
but
that's
a
result
of
the
good
economy
that
we
have
going
on
in
this
administration.
Understanding
how
important
it
is
to
have
good
spaces
good
social
spaces.
Two
people,
two
people
together
their
mindset
totally
changed
with
libraries.
They
see
the
value
in
libraries
as
that
that
space
to
be
able
to
to
to
congregate,
and
it's
not
just
books
on
a
shelf,
so
I
congratulate
them
for
that
Emma,
Emma
and
Justin.

You
very
much,
madam
president,
last
night
we
had
a
long
hearing
about
four
and
a
half
hours
worth
of
hearing
regarding
Boston's
efforts
to
quell
summer
violence.
As
we
know,
the
4th
July
is
right
around
the
corner.
We
had
super
oldrich
as
well
as
super
chin
from
Boston
Police
Department,
as
well
as
many
nonprofits,
and
testimony
all
people
who
are
continuing
to
continue
to
work
with
everybody
in
the
City
of
Austin
to
make
sure
that
this
summer
remains
a
very
quiet
summer.
There's
a
lot
of
great
information
will
certainly
have
several
follow-ups
at
this
time.
D
Thank
you
so
much.
Madam
president,
I
want
to
thank
the
chair
for
last
night's
hearing.
We
had
a
robust
discussion
on
the
importance
of
making
sure
that
we
are
doing
all
we
can
in
the
city
to
combat
some
of
violence.
Obviously,
violence
happens
all
year,
not
just
in
the
summer,
but
we
wanted
to
address
the
summer.
Uptick
I
agree
that
it
should
stay
in
committee.
I
want
to
thank
the
chair.
D
I
want
to
thank
you
as
a
co-sponsor
Thank
You
councillor,
Matt
O'malley,
for
your
leadership
on
this
issue
and
staying
to
hear
from
not
just
the
administration's
panel,
but
the
community
panel
for
me.
I
just
want
to
highlight
a
couple
of
takeaways
that
I
think
was
really
important
coming
out
of
that
hearing
and
things
that
we
will
have
to
follow
up
on
one
that
we
make
sure
that
the
the
efforts
are
community
driven
and
that
we've
got
space
incorporating
community
voice.
D
I
mean
that
we
do
the
analysis
to
understand
exactly
where
our
resources
are
going
and
whether
or
not
we
are
being
the
most
effective
and
efficient
with
that,
and
so
I
look
forward
to
continuing
this
work
with
all
of
you
and
all
of
those
in
our
community
who
are
doing
amazing
work
every
single
day.
Thank
you.
Thank.
H
You,
madam
president,
I,
do
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
and
co
makers
in
this
the
councillor
from
district
7
and
the
council
president,
as
well
as
the
chairman
of
the
Committee
on
Public
Safety
in
criminal
justice
counsel
from
district
5.
It
was
a
great
event.
I
mean
it
was
a
great
worthwhile
opportunity
to
sit
down,
really
identify
some
good
cross-collaboration
happening
at
the
city
happening
with
nonprofits.
H
We
clearly
have
worked
to
continue
to
do,
but
I
really
value
this
as
an
opportunity
to
hear
from
one
another
learn
from
people
hear
from
members
of
the
public
and
make
sure
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page,
really
as
we
advance
new
initiatives
and
thoughtful
holistic
approach
to
we
tackle
public
safety,
so
kudos
all
around
and
look
forward
to
continuing
partnership
as
we
go
forward.
Thank.
A
B
K
A
K
You,
madam
president,
madam
president,
this
resolution
comes
out
of
the
City
Council
hearing
on
services
for
persons
with
disabilities
on
may
29th,
and
we
were
able
to
hear
from
the
disability
commission
the
language
access
program
in
advocates.
Now
what
to
thank
my
co-sponsors
council,
Authority
and
councillor
Edwards
for
that
hearing
one
lopes
of
a
central
staff
research
director
for
working
on
this.
The
P
analysts
in
advocates
stressed
the
importance
of
the
Americans
with
Disabilities
Act,
which
is
the
federal
law
that
prohibits
discrimination
against
people
with
disabilities
in
ensures
that
people
with
disabilities
have
public
accommodations.
K
In
the
hearing,
the
chair
of
the
advisory
board
for
the
disability,
Commission
talked
about
a
state
bill
called
enact
relative
to
the
architectural
access
access
board,
which
would
update
the
architectural
access
Ford's
jurisdiction
to
align
that
with
the
Americans
with
Disability
Act.
The
bill
at
the
Statehouse
is
sponsored
by
Senator
Michael
Moore
Representative
Mike
Moran
in
Christine
Barbara,
and
it
is
supported
by
many
electives
from
the
Boston
delegation
such
as
Senator
Nick,
Collins,
senator
Brown
berga
rep
want
senator
bond
corey,
rep
dan
commoning
representative
l,
guató
representative
Adrienne
Madero
in
others.
K
The
Massachusetts
act-
architectural
access
board,
is
the
state's
accessibility
in
oversight
enforcement
party,
which
develops
and
enforces
regulations
designed
to
make
public
buildings
accessible
and
safe
for
use
by
persons
with
disabilities.
Yet
it
can
only
up
uphold
compliance
with
state
law,
which
has
fallen
decades
behind
the
federal
Americans
with
Disability
Act.
The
bill
would
ensure
that
the
building
in
our
state,
well,
the
buildings
in
our
state,
would
be
a
DEA
compliant.
K
It
would
make
more
housing
units
accessible
by
requiring
adaptable
units
in
renovated
buildings,
as
well
as
requiring
employees,
employees
area
in
commercial
buildings
to
be
accessible.
The
bill
would
make
sure
that
our
buildings
are
accessible
to
all
and
that
our
state
standards
for
accessibility
is
not
outdated.
I
hope
that
I
can
I
hope
that
we
can
suspend
in
pass
this
resolution
today,
so
that
we
can
help
this
bill
pass
at
the
Statehouse
as
well.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
J
Briefly,
I
just
wanted
to
commend
the
maker
for
this
resolution
also
thanked
him
and
councillor
Flaherty
for
I.
Think
a
robust
incredible
hearing
with
disability
advocates
and
the
folks
in
the
disability
Commission
here.
This
is
really
just
an
attempt
to
update
our
standards
for
building,
to
assure
that,
as
we
look
to
the
future
and
at
this
robust
economy
that
we
are
building
for
everybody
in
the
state
and
I
support
our
our
leads
over
in
the
State
House
I
think
it
was
senator.
L
A
You
I'm
at
this
time
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
or
add
their
name
Madame
clerk.
If
you
could
add
councillor
Baker
councillor,
co-moh
councillor,
sabe,
George,
councillor,
garrison,
councillor,
Janey,
councillor,
McCarthy,
Council,
Malley
come
through
and
councillors
Aiken
as
well
as
the
chair.
At
this
time.
Councillor
Flynn,
seeks
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passed
I'm.
Sorry,
adoption
of
docket
one
zero,
two
one,
all
those
in
favor
of
adoption,
say
aye
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
docket
one
zero.
Two
one
has
been
adopted.
B
A
K
A
K
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Madam
President.
This
resolution
also
comes
out
of
that
same
hearing
on
services
for
persons
with
disability,
we're
proud
of
the
excellent
excellent
leadership
of
Commissioner
Kristen
macaws
when
so
many
on.
So
many
of
these
issues
at
our
hearing
advocates
talked
about
the
lack
of
opportunity
that
many
persons
with
disabilities
face
in
in
terms
of
employment.
In
fact,
according
to
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
the
unemployment
rate
for
persons
with
disabilities
is
twice
as
high
as
those
without
a
disability.
K
The
bill
is
sponsored
by
Senator
Collins,
rep,
rep,
David,
Beale,
rep,
Dan
hunt,
and
it's
supported
by
representative
Michael.
It's
representative
Russell
Holmes,
representative
Madero
in
representative
Santiago
in
others.
The
bill
would
expand
opportunities
for
persons
with
disabilities
in
the
workforce
and
help
them
to
achieve
their
full
potential
in
career
goals.
You
know
how
the
commonwealth
of
massachusetts
to
continue
to
lead
in
promoting
equity
for
persons
with
disabilities.
K
I
hope
that
we
can
suspend
and
pass
this
resolution
today
so
that
we
can
expand
employment
opportunities
for
persons
with
disabilities
and
on
a
on
a
on
a
additional
note.
You
know
this
this
location,
this
room
here
is
a
DEA
accessible.
It
provides
a
a
space
for
everybody,
especially
persons
with
disabilities.
K
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
councilor
whoa
into
Mayor
Walsh
in
his
administration,
for
looking
out
for
people
with
disabilities
and
making
sure
that
their
voice
is
heard
in
state
government,
but
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
all
of
my
City
Council
colleagues
for
your
work
on
a
DA
issues
as
well.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
J
I
think
it's
an
incredible
I
think
it's
an
incredible
move
and
a
move
of
leadership
that
assures
that
in
many
cases
an
entire
population
is
underemployed.
Despite
the
talents
because
of
prejudices
about
people
with
disabilities,
this
is
actually
incentivizing
a
lot
of
folks
in
the
private
market
to
say
it's
worth
giving
this
person
a
chance
and
assuring
that
they
can
be
a
lead
and
have
an
economic
opportunity
with
my
company,
because
I
now
have
funds
from
the
state
of
Massachusetts
Thank.
A
You
counselor
Edwards
counsel.
Are
you
looking
to
speak
on
this
target?
Okay
at
this
time,
councillor
Flynn
see
I'm,
sorry
before
I.
Do
that
anyone
else
wanting
to
add
their
name
to
this
docket?
Madam
Clerk,
if
you
could
add
councillor
Baker

co-moh
counter
asabi
George,
counter
garrison

Jamie
Kelso,
McCarthy,

A

I've
been
informed
by
the

that
there
are
three
late
file
matters
which,
in
the
absence
of
objection,
will
be
added
to
today's
agenda
hearing
and
seeing
no
objection.
The
three
late
file
matters
are
so
added,
madam
clerk,
if
you
could
read
the
first
late
file
matter
into
the
record,
thank.
A
And
just
a
point
of
clarification
to
our
hearing
orders,
one
as
a
personnel
order,
so
you
probably
do
not
have
the
personnel
order
and
the
personal
order
councillor
Edwards.
At
this
time,
councillor
Edwards,
seeks
suspension
of

of
the
first
late

all
those
in

aye,
any

the

The
first

A
B
Therefore,
be
it
ordered
that
the
appropriate
committee
of
the
Boston
City
Council,
holds
a
hearing
to
understate,
understand
and
discuss
this
proposed
public
memorial
and
its
historical
contribution
to
the
city
of
Boston
and
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
representatives
from
the
administration
and
other
interested
parties
shall
be
invited
to
attend.
5:00
the
City
Council
on
June
26
2019.
N
You,
madam
president,
first
of
all
I
apologize
for
the
late
feet
for
the
late
file
golf
get
in
the
way
of
my
job
last
week,
so
I
left
some
loose
ends,
one
of
them
being
to
add
council
Flynn
I
would
like
to
hold.
I
would
like
to
hold
a
hearing
to
better,
understand
and
discuss
the
proposed
auction
block
public
memorial
and
its
historical
contribution
to
the
city
of
Boston
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
I.
N
Believe
public
spaces
should
reflect
the
true
history
of
the
city
and
its
people,
and
it
appears
this
more
memorial
seeks
to
do
just
that.
As
many
may
know,
there's
an
effort
in
the
city
to
change
the
name
of
Fanueil
Hall
when
I
first
heard
this
effort,
I
was
not
in
favor
of
this
proposed
change
as
I
do
not
believe
we
should
erase
history
but
tell
its
story
whether
good
or
bad
Peter.
N
N
No
Makkah
currently
exists
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
or
the
city
of
Boston
to
tell
the
history
of
the
slave
trade
that
took
place
at
Faneuil,
Hall,
Steve,
locked
and
honest
in
residence
for
the
city
of
Boston
is
proposing
a
memorial
dedicated
to
those
enslaved
African,
American,
Africans
and
African
Americans,
whose
kidnapping
and
sale
took
place
at
Faneuil,
Hall
and
I
believe
this
is
a
good
opportunity
to
tell
the
story
of
the
slave
trade
in
Boston
and
recognize
the
history
of
Phanuel
Hall.
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
Thank.
K
K
It's
something
that
hopefully,
we
all
can
learn
from
learning
from
our
past
the
terrible
mistakes
in
criminal
activity
that
took
place
hundreds
of
years
ago,
but
it
still
has
a
meaning.
It
still
has
an
impact
today.
So
it's
important
to
listen
to
concerns
of
residents
in
to
hear
residents
talk
about
the
terrible
injustice
that
has
happened
in
our
city
and
also
to
learn
from
our
mistakes,
but
also,
hopefully,
we
can
go
on
and
become
a
better
society,
a
better
city,
a
better
country
learning
from
our
past.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
A
You
councillor
Flynn
council,
clarity
of
my
name,
madam
clerk.
If
you
could
also
add
councillor
Flaherty
councillor
co-moh
councillor,
sabe
George,
councillor,
garrison,
councillor,
McCarthy,
council
Malley,
as
well
as
the
chair,
docket
I,
guess
the
second
late
foul
matter
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
arts,
culture
and
special
events.
B
C
C
Is
a
refile
from
last
year,
madam
chair
and
and
I
again,
I
apologize
for
lief
I'm,
not
a
big
late
file
guy,
especially
on
today,
but
I
wanted
to
get
it
in
as
we're
not
gonna
have
a
meeting
next
week
because
of
the
holiday
and
I
want
to
get
this
in
the
process.
This
stems
from
last
year,
we
had
a
really
wonderful
project
being
built
right
down
the
street
from
my
house.
I
supported
the
project,
but
the
developer
then
clear-cut.
The
lot
and
we
lost
I'm
gonna,
say
seven
or
eight.
C
You
know
hundred
year
olds,
and
it's
not
a
clicking
on
my
head-
that
we
can't
do
this
the
way
and
he
planted
some
trees
and
grants
that
we
had
a
great
discussion.
He
did
the
right
thing.
Having
said
that,
we
can't
lose
those
trees
like
that.
Other
towns
and
cities
are,
if
you
have
to
cut
down
a
tree
to
to
build
your
project.
C
The
certain
finds
a
certain
fees,
whether
whether
or
not
you're,
building
new
trees
on
the
lot
or
paying
into
the
tree
fun
and
having
Chris
cook
plant
those
trees
for
you,
we
have
to
continue
to
work
with,
with
our
tree
scape
and
throughout
the
city
of
Boston
and
with
climate
ready,
Boston
being
created
right
now,
I
think
it's
imperative
to
put
this
this
ordinance,
possibly
into
the
cloud
already
Boston,
as
we
move
forward.
Thank
you.
Thank.
H
Thank
you,
madam
president,
thank
you,
my
dear
colleague
and
friend,
the
district
five
city,
councilor
I'm
delighted
to
again
partner
with
him
on
this.
This
is
a
particularly
timely
hearing
order
as
one
of
the
things
that
we
voted
for
in
the
operating
budget
earlier
today
was
a
lidar
study,
something
that
I
had,
and
many
of
us
have
been
pushing
for
for
many
years,
but
a
light.
Our
study
is,
it's
essentially
planes
that
fly
over
the
city
to
really
gauge
what
the
tree
canopy
coverage
looks
like.
We
cannot.
H

Finally,
when
we
talk
about
the
purpose
of
trees
in
the
necessity
of
trees,
it's
not
just
aesthetics,
it's
not
just
environmental
benefits.
It
really
is
a
true
public
health
benefit
as
well,
and
this
is
a
way
that
that
can
create
cooling
centers
can
can
can
make
it
a
much
more
vibrant
and
healthy
City.
So
I
look
forward
to
our
continued
partnership
and
work.
Thank
you.
Thank.

Wanted
to
remind
my
colleagues
that
June
is
PTSD,
Awareness
Month
and
it's
an
opportunity
for
many
veterans,
military
families
that
have
almost
undiagnosed
mental
health
issues
to
encourage
them
to
seek
treatment,
whether
it's
through
the
VA
or
through
other
other
other
locations
that
provide
mental
health
counseling.
We
had
a
young
young
man
in
my
community
in
South
Boston,
Tim
Cook,
who
was
a
u.s.
Navy,
u.s.
K
Navy
veteran
who
had
PTSD,
and
he
and
he
came
back
to
Boston
and
had
difficult
time,
readjusting,
I'm,
good
friends
with
his
father
and
Tim's
no
longer
longer
with
us,
but
his
father,
Joe
cook
is
doing
excellent
work.
Educating
so
many
people
in
encouraging
veterans
that
are
dealing
with
mental
health
issues
to
seek
to
seek
mental
health
assistance
through
the
VA.

You
I'll
be
brief.

the

I.
Think

hope.
They'll
