by
transferring

The
manor
was
sponsored
by
our
mayor,
Mott
and
J.
Walsh
referred
to
the
committee
back
on
April
the
24th
we
held
a
hearing
on
May
30th,
where
public
comment
was
taken.
F
Christopher
cook,
chief
of
the
Environment
and
energy
and
open
space
along
with
Nicole
to
Hamel
director
of
Finance
for
the
park,
spoke
on
behalf
of
the
administration
and
their
testimony
included,
needs
for
from
the
functional
standpoint
and
educational
standpoint.
The
transport
animal
could
tear
and
can
Animal
Care
and
Control
unit
to
the
Parks
and
Rec
Department,
because
a
majority
of
the
complaints
concerning
Unleashed
dogs
in
wildlife
occur
in
parks
and
open
spaces.
Chief
cook
further
testified.
F
The
department
is
in
a
good
position
to
engage
people
about
the
environment
and
wildlife
through
its
programs,
materials
and
resources.
The
transfer
will
apply
to
all
employees
currently
under
Animal,
Care
and
Control
unit.
There
are
currently
18
existing
positions.
The
committee
inquired
about
factors
that
led
to
the
transfer
if
the
transfer
will
help
improve
response
times,
if
there'll
be
any
cost
savings
and
how
the
transfer
will
impact
the
animal
adoption
program
based
upon
the
discussion
at
the
hearing,
the
docket
will
be,
as
would
be
amended
as
follows.
F
In
section
4,
the
second
sentence
is
amended
from
the
original
filing
to
read
as
follows:
all
employees

physicians

the
inspectional
services
shall
be
transferred
to
and
within
the
Animal
Care
and
Control
unit
of
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Department.
The
original
filing
listed
specific
positions.
F
This
language
will
ensure
that
all
positions
within
the
unit
are
being
transferred
at
the
same
time
as
shared

Kim
Gini
referred
to
the
Committee
on
operating
government
operations
back
of
every
the
sixth
committee
held
a
public
hearing,
Tuesday
March,
the
19th
2019,
and
also
a
well
attended
working
session.
Yesterday,
at
the
working
session
we
heard
from
Jerome
Smith
chief
of
civic
engagement
and
neighborhood
services,
along
with
Alexis
co-director
of
emerging
industries.
The
administration
provided
testimony
they,
after
that
they're
supportive
of
reserving
up
to
half
of
all
the
licenses
for
equity
applicants.
F
The
committee
inquired
about
the
status
of
current
community
host
agreements,
as
well
as
some
of
the
proposed
amendments
that
were
discussed
during
the
match
during
matches
hearing
the
discussion
around
amendments
focused
on
ensuring
that
there
was
an
equitable
rollout
of
the
program
around
Boston
equity
program
criteria
and
the
Boston
cannabis
board,
among
other
things,
based
on
yesterday's
discussion
in
the
working
session
as
chair
of
Governors
I
recommend
the
dark
at
zero.
Three:
zero,
zero.
F
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I,
want
to
thank
the
chair
of
Gov
ops
for
his
leadership
in
the
working
session
yesterday.
I
want
to
thank
all
of
my
colleagues
who
are
able
to
attend
I
believe
it
was
in
addition
to
Michael
Flaherty
Michelle
whoo
Josh,
Zakim
Lydia
Edwards
at
Flynn,
Frank,
Baker
I
know
that
you
had
staff
there,
ten
others
who
may
have
had
staff.
Thank
you
for
your
participation
for
your
input
during
this
process.
As
you
may
know,
cannabis
is
now
legal
in
the
Commonwealth.
G
We
need
to
make
sure
that
as
shops
roll
out
in
Boston
that
we
do
so
in
an
equitable
way,
and
so
this
ordinance
is
about
promoting
equity
in
the
process.
It
establishes
an
equity
program
as
well
as
a
a
board
here
to
oversee
the
process.
It
would
create
a
registry
and
also
a
fund.
We
had
a
wonderful,
robust
discussion
with
the
administration.
Many
of
you
were
there
as
well
as
many
of
the
advocates
and
entrepreneurs.
G
I
think
we
are
close
in
terms
of
agreement
around
equity
and
agreement
around
other
items
in
the
ordinance,
but
I
think
we
need
more
discussion
and
so
I
certainly
support
it's
staying
in
committee
and
welcome
any
additional
feedback
and
input
as
this
process
moves
forward.
Thank
you,
Thank
You
councillor.
H
You
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
rise
to
again
commend
the
maker
for
your
leadership
in
this
conversation
and
also
to
note
I
wanted
to
also
thank
the
chair
of
govern
opps
I
thought
it
was
a
very
productive
conversation
on
that
topic
that
could
have
easily
blown
up
and
so
I
thought.
Well,
you
know
when
I
came
in,
that
we
were
getting
down
to
the
details
and
doing
exactly
what
people
liked
us
to
do
so.
I
wanted
to
thank
you
both
for
your
leadership.
H
We
also
made
very
clear
that
it
made
no
sense
to
really
give
up
some
power
from
Boston
through
a
Home
Rule
petition
for
the
liquor
licensing
board
to
have
the
additional
power
to
deal
with
cannabis.
We'd
actually
have
to
go
back
to
the
suburbs
and
leave
the
city
of
Boston
asked
permission
to
combine
that
when
we
are
going
to
create
an
infrastructure
or
conversation
and
set
standards
right
here
in
Boston
for
Boston.
So
we're
going
to
want
to
echo
I
support
this
wholeheartedly.

G
You
so
much,
madam
president,
as
the
chair
of
the
committee
of
arts,
culture
and
special
events
and
the
district
councillor
representing
many
of
our
highly
acclaimed
arts
institutions
and
as
an
advocate
for
racial
justice,
I
was
very
dismayed
and
disheartened
to
learn
about
the
experience
of
students
from
the
Helen
Y
Davis
Leadership
Academy
at
the
Museum
of
Fine
Arts.
A
couple
of
weeks
ago,
arts
and
cultural
institutions
are
critical
to
our
tourism
economy
here
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
they
also
are
a
great
source
of
pride
for
our
city
and
for
the
residents
here.
G
Arts
Boston
just
released
a
report
saying
that
arts
generate
billions
for
our
economy
here
in
Boston
and
bring
roughly
21
million
people
to
our
region
each
year.
Our
world-renowned
arts
institutions
are
not
only
a
critical
cultural
asset,
they
are
fundamental
to
our
economy
and
our
society.
Yet
at
too
many
of
these
institutions,
visitors
of
color
are
often
viewed
with
suspicion,
treated
with
contempt
or
even
taunted,
with
racial
slurs.
This
incident
goes
well
beyond
the
Museum
of
Fine
Arts.
This
is
a
bigger.
This
is
bigger
than
that
one
incident.
G
It
is
time
for
us
to
have
a
broader
conversation
on
race,
inclusion
and
diversity
in
the
arts.
I
am
optimistic
that
this
is
a
conversation
that
cultural
organizations
are
eager
and
willing
to
participate
in
you
and
I
both
sat
with
the
the
Museum
of
Fine
Arts,
the
leadership
there.
There
was
also
a
meeting
at
the
school
yesterday,
so
I
think
this
is
an
important
conversation
and
I'm
hopeful
that
our
cultural
institutions
want
to
participate,
that
they
are
already
taking
some
steps
in
terms
of
providing
training
around
cultural
Commission
see
around
how
to
be
more
diverse.
G
Some
have
even
said:
diversity
is
a
key
part
of
their
mission
statements
and
so
I'm
hopeful
that
we'll
have
this
conversation
I
think
it's
also
important
to
point
out
as
a
footnote
that
many
of
our
cultural
institutions
still
have
a
long
way
to
go
in
terms
of
contributing
fully
to
the
pilot
here
in
Boston.
So
we
can
also
have
that
conversation,
but
really
this
is
our
opportunity
to
be
proactive
and
thinking
about
how
the
city
of
Boston
our
cultural
institutions
here
can
do
a
better
job
at
being
more
inclusive,
around
really
welcoming
and
respecting.
G
All
folks,
but
also
as
a
city,
the
image
that
we
project
out,
you
know
an
opportunity
to
look
at
our
websites
to
look
at
our
brochures
to
look
at
everything
that
really
signals
here.
We
are
Boston
as
a
city
and
making
sure
that
we
are
also
being
represented
there.
So
I
welcome
this
conversation.
I
believe
it
will
be
very
productive,
encourage
all
of
you
to
participate.
G
A
You
Thank
You
councillor

G
Janie
you

before
thank
you
so
much.
Madam
president,
John
Francis
de
Freitas
was
born
on
July
26
1916
in
Boston
Massachusetts
John
resided
at
198,
st.
Patal
Street,
and
so
this
hero
square
would
be
right
in
his
home
neighborhood,
where
he
resided
here
in
Boston.
John
was
killed
in
action
during
the
German
counter-attack
on
September
12
in
1944,
for
his
heroism
that
he
displayed
and
his
service
to
our
country.
John
was
awarded
the
Purple
Heart
and
the
combat
infantry
badge
John
was
survived
by
his
parents,
John
and
Angeline
de
Freitas.
G
A
Thank
You
councillor
Jamie
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
and
I'm
assuming
I
counsel
Janey.
You
would
like
to
see
suspension
of
the
rules
in
an
adoption.
Thank
you
at
this
time.
Does
anyone

A
B
J
A
H
I
think
we're
just
all
excited
to
make
sure
that
we're
a
city
where
workers
work
and
get
paid
for
their
work,
that
they
do
that's
right
and
so
I
look
forward.
To
that
conversation.
I
look.
We've
recently
met
with
the
Office
of
Economic
Development
to
discuss
wage
theft
on
specific
projects.
We've
talked
with
32bj
about
wage
theft
at
Logan
Airport.
So
this
is
just
a
continued
conversation
and
we
look
forward
to
councillor
Baker
to
scheduling
that
hearing
as
soon
as
possible.
Right.
K
C
We
must
consider
the
issue
of
menstrual
equity
for
our
residents.
It's
critical
to
address
the
health,
wellness
and
educational
challenges
posed
by
lack
of
access
to
menstrual
products
worldwide.
Over
100
million
high
school
students
miss
school
each
year
due
to
lack
of
access
of
these
products.
Low
attendance
rates
results
in
lower
grades
as
well
as
lower
chances
of
graduation
menstrual
products
are
an
expensive
necessity
for
many
families
and
they
can
cost
on
average
about
$84
per
year.
C
New
York
City
has
already
implemented
free
menstrual
products
in
800
public
schools,
while
also
increasing
accessibility
of
these
products
in
homeless
shelters,
as
well
as
jails
and
houses
of
Corrections.
The
Brookline
Select
Board
recently
voted
last
month
to
install
dispensers
for
menstrual
products
and
restrooms
by
2021
Massachusetts
chapter
of
the
national
organization
of
women.
Mass
now
is
advocating
for
the
I
am
bill
in
the
state
legislature,
which
has
been
sponsored
by
Senator
Pat,
Jalen
representative
J
Livingstone,
as
well
as
representative
Christine
Barbour.
C
This
bill
would
provide
free
menstrual
products
to
people
in
prisons,
homeless,
shelters
and
public
schools
from
grades
6
through
12.
There
are
great
nonprofits
I
know.
Many
of
you
have
been
working
with,
including
the
at-large
counts,
from
Dorchester
with
Katie's
closet,
which
accepts
donations
of
menstral
products
for
23
different
boston,
public
schools.
Yet
there
are
75
other
schools
that
would
benefit
from
this
program
and
they
currently
are
excluded.
We
as
a
City
should
help
all
people
access
these
products
without
facing
barriers
that
can
be
caused
by
poverty.
C
What
we
need
is
to
open
the
conversation
hear
from
individuals
who
are
experiencing
challenges
with
access
to
menstrual
products,
learn
from
their
stories
and
address
the
social
determinants
of
health
inequities.
We
can
really
lead
here.
This
is
an
important
first
step,
look
forward
to
continuing
the
great
work
of
the
Committee
on
healthy
women,
families
and
communities.
Once
again,
thank
my
dear
colleague
and
friend
for
her
partnership.
Look
forward
to
seeing
this
a
reality
in
Boston
and
beyond.
Thank
you.
Thank.
H
You
very
much
and
I
want
to
also
thank
the
original
maker,
and
then
councillor
Malley,
for
coming
and
talking
to
me
specifically
about
partnering
on
this
I
think
very
important
legislation.
It's
really
it's
not
just
about
making
sure
the
products
are
available.
It's
also
about
saying,
as
a
city
as
a
place
where
half
the
population
at
some
point
in
their
lives,
will
administrate
that
there's
no
stigma
about
it,
that
these
products
are
just
as
available
just
like.
H
We
provide
water
for
free
in
the
bathrooms,
toilets
for
free
in
the
bathrooms
and
hands
to
hand
towels
to
dry
your
hands
in
the
bathrooms.
All
these
are
normal,
normal
products
that
we
just
have,
because
you
go
about
your
life
and
your
day.
So
this
is
just
part
of
the
many
things
that
we're
also
going
to
provide
as
well
for
free
for
individuals
that
ministry
to
us.
H
So
this
is
I
think
is
a
common-sense
legislation
and
I
wanted
to
also
not
only
echo
the
organizations
that
councillor
Malley
had
mentioned
as
they're
in
their
leadership,
but
also
rekha,
to
recognize
my
sister
and
service,
many
capoeman
in
Cambridge,
who
also
introduced
I,
believe
this
couple
years
ago,
and
she
led
Cambridge
to
also
provide
for
equity
and
free
minstrel
products
in
their
schools.
So
this
is
something
that
is
part
of
a
movement,
and
it's
just
part
of
something.
That's
common
sense.
H
L
You,
madam
chair
I,
rise
to
express
my
strong
support
for
this
hearing
order
and
to
thank
our
colleagues
from
West
Roxbury
and
East
Boston
for
their
leadership
on
this
issue.
The
subject
of
menstral
equity
is
very
important
to
me,
specifically
in
the
context
of
a
healthy
school
environment,
because
the
impact
that
access
to
products
have
have
on
student
attendance
achievement
and
over
all
comfort
and
well-being
among
their
peers.
L
In
addition
to
low-income
families,
lack
of
access
to
mental
menstrual
products
will
also
have
a
disproportionate
impact
on
girls
and
young
women
of
color,
because
they
have
a
significantly
greater
risk
of
developing
diseases
of
the
reproductive
system
that
are
not
STDs
such
as
fibroids
and
the
ending
endometriosis.
Sorry,
with
an
early
onset
puberty,
these
diseases
are
reported
in
young
black
girls
as
young
as
eight
years
old,
creating
a
greater
need
for
widespread
access
to
these
products,
as
we
work
to
build
supportive
and
healthy
school
environments
that
provide
an
equal
opportunity
for
success
and
academic
achievement.
L
L
It
certainly
doesn't
always
cover
high-quality
products,
because
there
is
a
difference
and
the
types
of
products
we
give
girls
access
to
when
we
do
give
them
access.
Please
add
my
name
I,
look
forward
to
this
hearing
and
look
forward
to
changing
how
we
provide
these
products,
especially
in
our
schools.
Thank.
A
You
Thank
You
councillor,
sabi
George,
madam
clerk.
If
you
could
add
councillor
asabi
George
anyone
else:
consular
co-moh,
councillor
baker,
councillor
Flaherty,
councillor,
Flynn,
councillor,
Janey,
councillor,
McCarthy,
councillor,
woo
councillors,
a
come
as
well
as
the
chair.
Let's
see,
docket
0
8
7
6
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
healthy
women,
families
and
community.
B
C
You,
madam
president,
around
this
time
of
year,
many
people
start
cleaning
out
their
closets
and
donating
their
old
clothes
as
they
get
ready
for
a
new
season.
In
fact,
in
Massachusetts
each
year,
residents
and
businesses
dispose
of
more
than
a
quarter
of
a
million
tons
of
textiles
each
year,
the
vast
vast
majority
of
those
get
caught
in
the
waste
stream.
Now,
the
reason
why
this
is
critical
is
because
97%
of
textiles
can
actually
be
reused,
recycled
or
this
notion
of
upcycle
that's
taking
old
material
and
putting
into
a
new
filler
for
pillows,
for
example.
C
That
is
a
staggering
statistic
and
there's
clearly
more
that
we
need
to
do
now
right
now.
The
city
is
in
the
midst
of
sort
of
having
a
new
negotiation
with
Costello,
who
does
our
recycling
contract
to
try
to
negotiate
a
better
rate.
To
put
this
in
perspective,
in
my
nine
years
on
this
body
when
I
was
first
elected,
certainly
the
chair
of
ways
and
means
can
tell
you
this.
We
used
to
generate
a
fairly
I
would
say
generous
revenue
stream
from
our
tonnage
of
recycling.
It
was
about
seven
eight,
ten
dollars
per
ton.
C
The
waste
stream
is
about
eighty
eighty-five
dollars
per
ton
that
waste
stream,
bearing
has
stayed
essentially
the
same,
but
the
cause
for
recycling
has
dropped
considerably,
we're
now
paying
for
it,
and
there
could
be
a
time
in
the
not-too-distant
future
or
it
actually
costs
more
per
tonnage
to
recycle
than
it
does
just
to
bury
trash.
That
is
a
terrifying
statistic
to
all
of
us
who
care
and
love
the
environment.
C
Luckily,
this
city
is
committed
to
doing
whatever
it
takes
to
make
sure
that
we
can
increase
our
recycling,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
we
need
to
have
a
tough
conversation
about
the
fact
that
single-stream
recycling
does
not
work.
It
is
not
the
best
option
for
cities
going
forward
now.
What
do
I
mean
by
that?
The
notion
of
single
stream
recycling
makes
a
tremendous
amount
of
sense.
Make
it
easier
for
folks
get
more
people
to
participate
in
it.
C
In
theory,
that
should
be
the
case,
but
that's
clearly
not
the
case,
and
in
fact
our
recycling
rates
have
stayed
pretty
static
for
the
last
decade
plus,
and
that's
something
that's
really
challenging.
So
how
do
we
address
that?
Well,
we
need
to
acknowledge
the
fact
that
not
everything
that
ends
up
in
the
recycle
bin
has
the
same
value
as
the
others.
There
are
certain
things
that
have
a
lot
of
value
paper,
for
example,
has
a
tremendous
amount
of
value.
Yet,
when
it's
put
into
the
single
stream
recycling
it
gets
contaminated
and
therefore
is
worthless.
C
Textiles
have
an
incredible
value,
but
again
they
can
get
contaminated
and
no
longer
generate
revenue
for
the
city.
What
is
my
point
here?
My
point
is
we
have
an
option
to
look
at
what
other
cities
and
towns
have
done
40
throughout
the
Commonwealth
we've
done,
which
is
a
separate
textile
recycling.
Now
I'm
not
gonna,
give
a
free
commercial
to
this
business,
but
there
is
a
pink
bag.
C
I
had
argued
for
purple,
but
I
think
the
enlarged
council
from
Dorchester
is
happy
with
the
pink
it
provides
this
to
every
household
in
any
given
City
collects
textiles
when
they're
filled
up.
These
are
old
clothes,
old,
towels,
old
sheets,
whatever
recycles
them
gives
the
person
another
bag
to
use
for
another
drop-off,
and
it
pays
a
tonnage
fee
to
that
city.
They
do
it
all
on
their
own.
There
is
zero
cost
to
the
taxpayer
and
it
actually
can
generate
tens
of
thousands,
if
not
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
to
a
municipality
every
year.
C
This
is
what
Boston
ought
to
be
doing.
We
can
leverage
our
share
size.
We
can
leverage
the
fact
that
we've
got
a
tremendous
amount
of
resources
here
and
we
can
do
it
right
and
also
it's
going
to
not
only
drive
our
recycling
cost.
It's
going
to
generate
some
revenue
for
the
city
of
Boston
as
it
comes
to
curbside
textile
recycling.
We
have
to
do
this.
You
know
many
of
us
have
been
talking
about
curbside
composting
as
well,
which
is
another
great
passion
of
mine.
That's
a
little
more.
C
That
can
be
a
little
bit
more
labor-intensive
in
terms
of
the
process
to
get
there,
but
for
textile
recycling.
We
should
be
putting
out
an
RFP
and
RFQ
get
some
businesses
in
here
that
want
to
work
with
us,
or
maybe
we
make
the
determination.
The
city
should
be
running
this
program
itself,
but
this
is
another
opportunity
where
sound
environmental
policy
can
also
generate
revenue
for
the
city
of
Boston.
It
doesn't
get
any
better
than
that.
Let's
get
to
work.
Thank
you.
Thank.

L
You
again,
madam
chair
I'm,
very
excited
to
present
this
resolution
to
recognize
immigrant
Heritage
Month
and
the
large
and
diverse
immigrant
populations
in
our
city.
This
year
marks
the
fifth
annual
immigrant
Heritage
Month,
observed
in
June
and
offers
a
chance
to
celebrate
those
who
have
contributed
to
Boston's
neighborhoods
economy
economy
and
its
vibrant
diversity.
This
year,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
visit
Tunisia
on
a
u.s.
sponsored
trip
by
the
arab-american
Institute
to
support
Tunisia
and
their
most
recent
decentralization
and
elections.
L
I
was
honored
to
be
able
to
visit
my
grandmother
as
the
only
elected
Tunisian
American
of
Tunisian
descent.
My
childhood
was
defined
by
the
experience
of
being
a
daughter
of
a
Polish
and
Tunisian
parents,
and
also
living
with
my
grandparents
who
immigrated
to
the
u.s.
from
a
displaced
persons
camp
in
Poland.
One
of
my
primary
motivations
to
run
for
office
was
my
experience.
L
Growing
up
in
household
at
a
very
young
age,
I
expressed
an
interest
in
public
office
to
my
Arab
father,
who
quickly
told
me
that
an
Arab
girl
with
the
last
name
of
savvy
could
never
get
enough
votes
from
the
residents
of
Boston
so
being
able
to
stand
here
today
as
an
at-large
City
Council
representing
the
entire
city
of
Boston.
It
is
more
than
just
fulfilling
a
childhood
dream.
It
is
a
living
testament
to
the
contributions
that
immigrants
have
made
and
continue
to
make
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
beyond.
L
It's
also
a
testament
to
the
character
of
our
city,
whether
it
was
the
Irish
community
after
the
potato
famine
or
the
Polish
community
in
the
aftermath
of
World
War
one
and
two
or
the
Haitian
community.
After
the
the
wake
of
a
devastating
earth
of
devastating
earthquakes,
our
city
of
Boston
has
and
always
welcomed
and
embraced.
Immigrant
populations.
L
Immigrant
Heritage
Month
should
also
be
used
as
a
time
to
remember
that
nearly
all
of
us
can
trace
our
heritage
to
another
nation
and
honor
the
courage
and
bravery
it
took
for
our
ancestors
to
start
life
anew
through
their
belief
in
the
American
dream,
while
some
would
deny
the
contributions
of
immigrants,
Boston
will
always
be
proud
to
call
itself
a
city
of
immigrants
and
reaffirm
its
support
and
appreciation
for
our
cherished
foreign-born
population
and
their
children.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
councillor
Sabra
George,
seeking
suspension
of
the
rules
and
adoption.
Yes,
thank
you.
Anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter

At

seats,
suspension
of
the
rules,
an
adoption
of
docket

eight

all
those
in
favor
of

say
aye
any

say,

the
eyes
have
it
dark
at

L
A
L
You
again,
madam
president,
earlier
this
year
study
came
out
indicating
that
Boston
is
the
worst
city
in
terms
of
traffic
I.
Don't
think
any
of
us
actually
need
a
study
to
confirm
that
Boston
area
drivers
lose
an
average
of
a
hundred
and
sixty
four
hours
each
year
sitting
in
traffic
the
most
in
the
nation.
If
we
want
to
improve
connectivity,
increase
competitiveness
and
efficiency
for
the
region,
make
commuting
more
convenient
and
accessible
to
all
and
reduce
the
environmental
impact
of
commuting.
We
need
to
support
the
necessary
infrastructure.
L
Boston
is
served
by
two
commuter
rail
systems,
one
extending
to
the
north
of
the
city,
the
other
to
the
South
Boston
has
the
single
gap
in
continuous
services
between
Amtrak's
Northeast
Corridor,
which
runs
from
Washington
DC
to
Boston
and
Amtrak's
Downeaster,
which
runs
from
Brunswick
Maine
to
Boston.
The
result
is
a
fragment,
fragmented
region
in
which
workers
and
employers
cannot
access
each
other
efficiently,
where
a
highway
congestion
is
severe.
An
Economic
Opportunity
is
very
unequal
ly
distributed.
L
These
disconnection
squander
the
potential
of
our
existing
transportation
infrastructure
and
hobble
our
regional
economy
connecting
our
northern
and
southern
rail
lines
with
a
rail
link
between
north
and
south
station
will
transform
our
19th
century
rail
lines
into
a
world-class
regional
rail
system,
leverage
leveraging
the
value
of
our
existing
rail
infrastructure
and
vastly
increasing
access
and
opportunity
across
the
region.
I
look
forward
to
having
this
important
hearing
and
discussing
ways
to
improve
the
infrastructure
of
our
infrastructure
in
our
city
in
order
for
the
city
to
be
accessible
to
all.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Thank.
A
H
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
wanted
to
commend
the
maker
I,
can't
imagine
a
more
prescient
president
conversation
to
be
having
right
now,
especially
about
how
we're
going
to
move
folks,
I
I,
look
forward
to
this
hearing.
I,
look
forward
to
bringing
all
the
partners
into
the
room
to
really
talk
about
how
what
we
can
leverage
as
the
City
of
Boston
to
get
this
done
at
the
end.
H
You
know:
I
live
in
East,
Boston
I
live
by
the
center
tunnel,
which
was
fixed
fixed
recently,
and
as
a
result
of
that,
we
have
probably
seen
more
traffic
than
we've
ever
seen
before
and
again,
a
lot
of
that
is
Northshore
traffic
coming
in,
and
it
would
be
wonderful
to
know
that
they
can
come
in
and
connect
one
day
to
the
South
Shore
through
the
city
of
Boston.
So
this
is
a.
This
is
exactly
the
kind
of
conversation
I'm
excited
to
have
and
I
wanted
to
commend
the
maker
for
this
and
her
leadership.
A
Thank
You
councillor
Edwards,
add
your
name,
madam
Clerk.
If
you
could
add
councillor
Edwards
anyone
else,
councillor
Baker
councillor,
co-moh
councillor,
Flaherty
councillor,
Flynn,
councillor,
garrison,
councillor,
Janey,
councillor,
O'malley,
councillor,
woo
councillors,
a
come
as
well
as
the
chair,
docket,
zero,
zero.
Eight
seven
nine
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
Planning
development
and
transportation.
H
You
very
much
this
I
think
just
dovetails
wonderfully
with
the
conversation
that
we're
going
to
eventually
have
on
the
north-south
rail
link.
Luckily,
the
State
House
has
already
taken
up
leadership
in
this
and,
having
has
included
that
conversation
in
the
capital
budget,
I,
don't
think
it's
confusing
to
anybody
or
there's
any
question
and
anyone's
mind
as
to
why
the
red
blue
line
collector
makes
sense
at
the
end
of
the
day.
H
It
is
that
the
only
two
lines
that
actually
don't
touch
each
other
right
now
and
for
many
of
us
in
East
Boston
and
those
who
rely
all
the
way
up
into
Revere
to
get
on
the
blue
line
to
connect
to
services
such
as
MGH
or
other
hospitals,
or
even
just
getting
down
down
further
down
the
red
line.
This
would
be
a
wonderful
streamlined
approach.
H
We
have
an
opportunity,
luckily
now
with
the
with
a
large
development,
that's
about
to
happen
at
MGH,
we
can
see
where
it
can
happen
at
Bowden
and
also
at
at
the
MGH
t
stop,
and
this
is
also
fulfilling
promise
that
we
were.
We
were
for
the
Big
Dig,
also
also
we
had
promises
when
it
came
to
mass
border
mitigation,
so
this
is
part
of
a
conversation.
That's
been
going
on
for
many
years,
and
so
this
resolution
is
in
recognition
of
those
current
advocates.
My
state
representative,
Adrienne
Mario,
who
is
the
vice
chair
of
transportation.
H
My
Senator
Joe
bond
Cory
who's,
the
chair
of
transportation.
Their
leadership
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
in
this
house,
and
also
to
thank
folks,
a
counselor
was
actually
at
the
hearing
as
well
to
support
this.
So
what
we're
hoping
to
do
is,
with
this
resolution,
encourage
the
Commonwealth
to
begin
the
preliminary
design
and
engineering
and
to
support
those
that
step
going
forward
to
make
sure
that
this
connector
moves
as
soon
as
possible.

we've

B

And
what
about
the
United
States
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
to
be
administered
by
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development.
The
grant
will
fund
the
tenant
based
assistance
for
up
to
two
years,
assistance
to
first-time
homebuyers.
All
home
funds
must
be
used
to
benefit
low
and
moderate
income.
Households,
docket
number
zero,
seven,
seven
one
message:
an
order
authorizes
City
of
Austin
to
accept
an
expanded
amount
of
two
million.
B
H
You
very
much
I
I
would
be
brief.
These
are
funds
that
DoD
needs
to
continue
in
terms
of
its
ability
to
build
and
help
those
contractors
with
affordable
housing
units,
its
funds
used
by
our
Office
of
Economic
Development,
to
make
sure
that
small
businesses
get
the
assistance
that
they
need.
These
are
funds
that
we
regularly
approve,
and
this
is
something
I,
don't
think.
Is
that
all
controversial
and
just
assures
that
we're
getting
the
federal
funding
and
that
we
are
able
to
administer
it?
H
C
K
A
H
E
C
H
Absolutely
I
understand,
and
if
this
was
an
additional
new
grant
or
funding
from
the
federal
government
with
conditions
on
that,
I
absolutely
would
want
to
have
the
hearing
on
it
specifically
coming
from
this
particular
administration.
But
these
are
funds
that
have
been
used
consistently
by
DND
to
assure
that
we
can
move
on
about
our
business
of
building,
affordable
and
low
income,
moderate
housing.
H
So
if,
if
it's
necessary,
I'm
happy
to
also
can
be
in
a
conversation
directly
with
DND
to
talk
about
where
those
funds
are
going,
but
in
terms
of
the
AIDS
funding
or
the
funding
for
AIDS
housing
in
terms
of
the
funding
for
homelessness
and
assuring
that
we
have
job
training
skills,
those
are
CDBG
funds.
That's
a
grant.
That's
been
around
for
I,
don't
know
how
long
that
we've
been
administering
is
the
city,
so
I
actually
think
so.
H
A
K
A
M
A
M
A
It
sounds
like
it's
fine.
It
was
just
a
point
of
clarification
if
we've
had
hearings
on
these
specific
grants
in
the
past
and
if
they're
reauthorizations,
that
DND
has
received
over
and
over
again-
and
it
sounds
like
based
on
testimony
of
all
of
our
previous
chairs,
at
least
since
I've
been
here,
but
that
is
the
case.
So
thank
you
and
thank
you
councillor,
Malley
for
the
question
and
Thank
You
councillor
Edwards.
At
this
time.
A
