B
A
C
That
which
we
hold
most
sacred
by
whatever
name
we
use.
We
gather
in
gratitude
for
this
day
and
this
opportunity
to
do
work
that
builds
up
this
city
and
its
people
help
us
to
be
open
to
the
presence
of
the
holy,
the
creative
spirit,
which
is
always
around
us
and
at
work
help
us
be
connected
also
to
our
centers,
our
core,
the
place
from
which
flows
our
courage,
our
remembrance,
that
we
are
part
of
something
larger
than
ourselves.
C
I
lift
up
the
counselors
and
leaders
gathered
here
and
give
thanks
for
their
presence
for
their
service
for
the
gifts
they
bring
in
service
of
the
people.
May
they
be
strengthened
and
comforted
in
the
personal
struggles
and
worries
that
they
bring
in
through
these
doors,
may
they
and
their
breathing
in
and
breathing
out.
C
Remember
that,
whatever
our
troubles,
sickness
financial
worries,
relationships,
struggles
that
none
of
us
is
alone
in
these
and
I've
lift
up
a
prayer
that,
in
this
time
of
discussion
and
decision-making
today,
that
our
leaders
stay
connected
to
the
vision
and
purpose
that
led
them
here.
In
the
midst
of
the
pressure
demands,
busyness
help
them
continue
to
be
guided
by
their
highest
principles,
help
them
be
guided
by
courage,
thoughtfulness,
wisdom
and
care
and
when
things
are
especially
hard,
help
them
to
pause
and
breathe,
amen.
D
So
I
just
good
afternoon
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
and
extend
my
deep
gratitude,
not
just
for
opening
the
prayer,
but
for
all
that
you
do
at
the
Unitarian
Universalist
ministry.
Urban
ministry
for
our
community
you've
been
just
a
wonderful
neighbor
in
terms
of
really
opening
up
your
doors
and
being
that
that
meeting
space
for
so
many
in
our
community
and
I'm,
so
grateful
that
you
were
able
to
be
here
today
and
share
your
wonderful
words
of
encouragement
with
us.
So
thank
you
so
much.
E
A
A
And
as
they're
making
their
way
up
and
mr.
Rashid,
who
is
going
to
join
me,
this
is
the
Boston.
A
youth
leadership,
Association
and
I
have
to
give
a
special
thank
you
to
CJ
in
my
office,
who
did
a
lot
of
the
organizing
to
make
this
happen,
and
any
time
we
have
young
people
in
this
space.
Of
course,
it's
important
that
we
recognize
them
and
we
acknowledge
their
presence,
but
I
wanted
to
invite
them
up,
because
this
organization
in
this
group
is
particularly
unique.
A
Their
goals
and
objectives
are
to
prepare
our
young
people,
and
particularly
our
young
people,
of
color.
Frankly
for
public
service
through
leadership,
active
leadership,
awareness
and
personal
involvement.
The
program
enables
these
students
to
realize
their
potential
as
citizens
in
this
democracy,
also
as
potential
leaders
and
maybe
one
of
them
or
many
of
them
will
stand
up
here
someday.
That
would
be
the
hope
and
it
provides
them
of
motivation
and
encouragement
to
inspire
them
into
leadership
roles,
regardless
of
what
they
choose
that
to
be
for
themselves.
So
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
them.
A
F
It's
an
honor,
it's
truly
an
honor
to
be
here
to
do
this,
because
this
is
one
of
my
greatest
ambition
throughout
my
life
was
to
be
able
to
see
young
people
see
themselves
as
leaders
and
to
be
exposed
to
the
kinds
of
leadership
that
run
and
govern
cities.
So
this
opportunity,
you
have
no
idea
how
excited
this.
My
birthday
is
today.
A
F
The
greatest
gift
I've
ever
received
in
my
life,
to
be
very
frank
and
honest
with
you,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
make
this
happen
and
thank
these
students.
Could
that
brave
trust
me
we
listen
to
them
talk.
You
would
be
shocked,
I
hope
someday.
Some
of
you
might
even
consider
taking
them
in
as
interns
I'm
just
saying,
but
thank
you.
G
A
H
Thank
you.
Everyone.
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
today
I've
got
two
presentations.
It's
the
end
of
the
school
year,
which
means
we're
gonna.
We
like
to
bring
our
kids
through
our
youth
through
to
celebrate
some
of
their
greatest
accomplishments
over
this
current
school
year.
That's
ending
today
today
is
the
last
day
of
school
for
our
Boston
students.
I
am
first
gonna
recognize
our
MGH
scholars.
If
they
join
me
here
down
here,
that'd
be
great
and
they'll
start
talking.
H
I'm
incredibly
excited
to
be
joined
by
the
student
graduates
from
the
MGH
Scholars
Program
and
to
present
citations
in
honor
of
their
recognition
and
recognizing
their
achievements.
Over
the
last
four
years,
MGH
Scholars
is
a
four
year
work
force
development
program
for
students
from
Boston
that
are
interested
in
STEM
subjects,
science,
technology,
engineering
and
math,
and
no
doubt
these
kids
are
good
at
lots
of
things,
but
that's
the
focus
of
this
program.
H
Over
the
course
of
the
program
they
have
completed
an
intensive
research
program,
shadowed
doctors
in
Neurology
and
oncology
departments
and
completed
rigorous
internship
programs
behind
me
are
a
few
of
the
12th
grade
graduates
from
this
year,
each
of
whom
who
have
graduated
from
the
youth
Scholars
Program
and
will
be
attending
college
next
year.
The
students
that
are
with
us
today,
too
are
will
be
studying
biology
in
the
fall
and
on
the
medical
track.
H
One
is
studying
pharmacy
and
looking
to
become
a
pharmacist,
and
the
last
will
be
either
a
mechanical
engineer
or
we'll
also
study
and
explore
a
strong
astronomy
I'd
like
to
formally
congratulate
these
students
for
their
academic
achievement
and
being
a
shining
example
of
what
Boston
one
of
Boston's
best
assets,
its
students,
its
youth.
As
a
when
I
was
teaching
in
East
Boston
high.
H
H
Maybe
to
it
UMass
Thank
You
councillor
Campbell,
for
that
I'd
also
like
to
welcome
the
scholar
athletes
program.
We
have
a
few
representatives
from
scholar
athletes
with
us
today
today,
I'm
honored,
to
be
joined
by
members
of
the
scholar
athletes
program
in
recognition
and
in
celebration
of
their
10th
year
anniversary,
we're
joined
today
by
Mack
Charles
tower
to
join
a
Tajani,
sorry,
honey,
tire,
janae
and
DeSean.
H
Desean
is
actually
a
very
recent
graduate
of
Fenway
High
School
scholar.
Athletes
is
an
amazing
program.
I
am
lucky
enough
to
sit
on
the
board
of
scholar,
athletes
with
a
mission
to
support
student
academic
achievement
through
athletics
and
they're,
committed
to
closing
the
opportunity
in
chief
Montgomery's.
Their
organization
goes
far
beyond
athletics
by
providing
a
rigorous
academic,
coaching
and
mentoring
program,
as
well
as
college
and
career
readiness.
The
goal
for
each
of
the
zone.
H
Members
students
who
are
in
the
program
is
to
graduate
from
high
school
with
a
plan
to
be
focused
on
the
future
and
have
the
support
and
skills
and
tools.
They
need
to
put
that
plan
into
action.
I'm
grateful
for
the
work
that
scholar
athletes
does
every
single
day
and
so
many
of
our
schools
not
just
supporting
our
kids
through
supporting
athletic
programming
in
the
Boston
Public
Schools,
but
through
that
mentoring
and
tutoring
effort
that
happens
across
our
city
every
single
day.
H
When
we
think
about
athletes,
we
sometimes
have
a
stereotypical
athlete
or
a
jock,
male
or
female
in
mind.
But
this
the
scholar,
athletes
program
and
the
work
that
happens
in
the
zone
is
really
about
embracing
the
whole
student
to
use
athletics,
as
the
carrot
to
use
supporting
athletic
programming
has
the
carrot,
but
it's
really
about
closing
the
achievement
gap.
It's
about
creating
greater
access
to
programming
and
support
and
it's
lending
a
hand
and
giving
kids
an
opportunity
to
explore
to
grow
and
to
really
improve
the
student
piece
and
the
athlete
piece
at
the
same
time.
A
Thank
you
very
much

Ombudsman
grant
the
Committee
held
a
hearing
on
this
grant
back
in
April
and
Commissioner
Emily
Shea
of
the
Aged
strong
Commission
participated.
The
purpose
of
this
grant
is
to
fund
services
and
advocacy
for
seniors
in
nursing
homes.
G
This
grant
is
received
by
the
Commission
every
year,
which
then
puts
the
program
out
to
bid
in
the
winning
vendor
runs
the
program
which
recruits
in
trains
volunteers
to
provide
support
for
senior
citizens
living
in
nursing
homes.
The
city's
long
serving
their
long
long
standing
vendor
for
this
program
has
been
ethos,
an
incredible
multi
service
agency
in
my
district,
which
is
one
of
the
few
that
certified
to
run
the
program.
Now.
G
The
reason
why
I'm
asking
that
we
passed
us
in
a
new
draft,
because
the
original
docket
was
for
171
thousand
dollars
and
that
does
not
reflect
a
buffer
amount
which
is
typically
included
in
these
grant
orders
too.
In
case
the
funding
would
exceed
the
projected
amount.
So
we
have
today
revised
the
order
to
include
that
buffer,
which
brings
the
amounts
to
two
hundred
and
fourteen
thousand
dollars.
Even
as
chair
of
the
Committee
on
healthy
women,
families
and
communities,
I
recommend
the
duck
at
zero
one.
One
zero
ought
to
pass
in

madam
president,
once
again
duck
at

two

We
also
discussed
at
this
hearing
on
April
5th.
The
grant
here
will
fund
meals
for
seniors
in
Boston,
both
through
home
delivery,
as
well
as
47
congregate
meal
sites,
which
I
would
encourage
you
all
to
visit
these
sites.
If
you
haven't
already
they're
really
wonderful

places
they've
really
gone
to

competency,

provide

environment
for
all
seniors.
This
order
is

dock

which
the
Committee
passed
in
December
of
last
year
and
was
a

the

received

potential
bidders
on
an
number
of
factors,
including
scope
of
services,
management,
capability,
quality
control,
disaster,
business
recovery,
references
and
cost.
The
three
firms
that
scored
in
the
highest
range
were
Bank
of
America
Santander
and
Citizens
Bank,
our
current
Bank
banking
service
provider.
After
evaluating
cost
proposals
in
their
overall
technical
score,
it
was
determined
that
Citizens
Bank
would
be
awarded
the
contract.
It
was
noted
that
citizen's
banks
fee
schedule,
while
already
low,
will
be
even
lower
than
the
current
cost
structure.
I
The
total
expected
annual
costs
of
the
contract,
though
difficult
to
determine
the
Treasury
Department
estimates
that
it
could
be
approximately
2
million
dollars
annually.
The
banking
services
that
will
be
provided
will
include
payroll
management,
automated
Clearing,
House
credit
and
reporting
demand
deposit
accounts,
wire
services
in
bank
reconciliation
reports
for
all
accounts.
As
the
chair
of
the
Committee
on
ways
and
means,
I
recommend
moving
the
listed
docket
from
the
committee
to
the
full
council
for
discussion
and
formal
action
at
that
at
this
time,
I
recommend
that
this
law
ought
to
pass.
Thank
you.

J
J
We
additionally
heard
testimony
from
the
three
appointees
about
their
prospective
qualifications
in
their
professional
backgrounds
and
how
they
will
further
the
Commission's
objectives.
Sam
uniball
sees
an

Stephanie
Everett
is
an
attorney
with
experience
in
government
and
policy,
and
Vivien
Leigh
has
experience
in
government,
public
disclosure
regulations
and
also
serving
on
other
municipal
boards.
J
The
members
of
the
Commission
stated
that
their
role
is
to
create
a
process
that
works
and
to
provide
clarity
to
the
ordinance
the
Commission
will
interpret
and
provide
clarification
through
rulemaking
Authority,
which
ensures
effectiveness
of
the
ordinance
through
education
and
will
enforce
provisions
of
this
ordinance.
The
committee
also
engaged
a
discussion
pertaining
to
some
of
the
aspects
of
the
ordinance
in
any
potential
conflicts
of
interest
that
may
appear
whether
among
the

a
matter
that
may
appear

them

operations.
J
A
K
And
this
and
that
again
you
know
we
had
two
of
the
three
people
before
us
are
either
on
another
board
or
slated
to
join
another
board,
having
been
confirmed
by
the
council
and
I,
just
think
it.
There
needs
to
be
a
lot
of
clarity.
If
there
are
one
board
in
the
city,
that
probably
should
be
a
requirement
that
you
could
not
serve
on
another
board
or
Commission
I
think
it
would
be
the
the
lobbying
compliance
commission
so
just
wanted
to
flag
my
concerns
about
that.
K
We
talked
about
ways
to
mitigate
that,
or
maybe
create
policies
for
the
other
boards
that
those
people
are
serving
on
to
ensure
strict
dichotomy,
but
because
this
is
the
first
round
of
appointments.
I
think
we
need
to
be
very
clear
that
this
is
something
the
council
should
consider.
Maybe
it's
changes
to
the
ordinance
or
something
later
on,
but
something
that
we
need
to
be
aware
of.
Thank
you.
B
A
E
You,
madam
president,
I
am
rising
today
to
introduce
amendments
to
our
2014
Boston
Trust
Act,
which,
at
the
time
of
this
council
unanimously
passed,
was
the
most
progressive
version
of
that
legislation
across
the
country
prohibiting
the
Boston
Police
Department
from
detaining
people
based
on
immigration
status.
Since
that
time,
just
a
couple
years
ago,
the
Supreme
Judicial
Court
made
an
important
ruling
that
prohibited
all
law
enforcement
across
Massachusetts
from
holding
individuals
based
on
their
immigration
status.
It
was
a
landmark
decision,
it
was
an
important
decision,
but
we
are
in
a
changed
time
right
now.
E
Just
yesterday,
our
president,
once
again
has
lashed
out
via
Twitter,
threatening
people
based
on
their
immigration
status,
threatening
immigrants
threatening
people
with
arrest
with
deportations,
things
that
are,
quite
frankly,
unacceptable
and
any
time
an
American
and
it's
incumbent
upon
all
of
us
to
continue
to
stand
up
for
these
values.
So
this
bill
was
in
the
works
long
before
these
recent
actions
by
the
president,
but
it
just
illustrates
how
important
it
is
for
cities
like
Boston,
for
states
like
Massachusetts
to
stand
up
for
our
values
to
say
we
can't
control
the
Twitter
of
the
president.
E
Their
immigration
status
that
we
have
thousands
of
people
here
or
participating
in
our
economy
who
live
in
our
communities,
who
have
US,
citizen,
family
members
and
children
that
should
not
be
living
in
fear,
and
the
very
least
we
can
do
is
make
sure
that
in
the
city
of
Boston
our
resources,
our
personnel
are
not
going
to
participate
in
those
persecutions.
So
these
amendments
are
meant
to
clarify
the
role
of
city
of
Boston
agencies,
including
the
police
department,
in
immigration
enforcement
issues.
There
is
clear
we
work
to
make
sure
this.
E
Is
it
practical,
enforceable
policy
that
provides
clarity
to
the
police
and
to
our
community
members,
and
some
of
it
is
in
response
to
a
widely
reported
incident
that
happened
a
couple
years
ago,
where
a
Boston,
Police
and
Immigration
and
Customs
Enforcement
have
been
sharing
some
information.
So
in
this
bill
and
I
hope
to
have
a
swift
hearing
and
work
with
pass
work
on
passing
the
Sun
wanna
thank
mayor,
Walsh
and
his
team
for
their
support
and
announcing
this
together
and
working
together
to
make
sure
this
is
a
strong
policy.
E
Essentially,
what
it
says
is.
It
goes
to
say
that
the
Boston
Police,
Department
or
other
city
agencies
are
not
going
to
actively
work
with
immigration
and
customs
enforcement
to
detain
people
to
investigate
them
to
share
information
around
immigration
issues
being
here
without
status
being
undocumented
is
not
a
crime
even
under
federal
law.
It's
a
civil
violation.
Our
Police
Department,
as
we
know
every
day,
has
important
Public
Safety
functions
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
They
do
a
great
job
with
that.
E
They
do
not
need
to
be
put
into
a
position
that
undermines
trust
in
the
community
that
we
are
serving
every
day
to
further
work
with
immigration
and
customs
enforcement
on
this
failed
federal
immigration
policy.
Regardless
of
what
side
people
are
taking
when
it
comes
to
the
immigration
debate
in
this
country,
one
thing
is
certain:
the
system
is
broken
and
unfortunately,
it's
falling
on
local
governments.
E
People
like
us,
people
in
this
building,
to
try
and
make
sense
of
it
to
try
and
work
in
a
day
to
day
basis
in
a
practical
way
that
continues
with
with
what
we
can
do.
We
can
do
to
make
things
work
better.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor,
the
police
department,
the
advocates
the
ACLU
and
many
of
my
colleagues
and
others,
not
just
in
2014
passing
the
original
bill,
but
working
on
a
thoughtful
way
to
pass
these
amendments.
They
are
incredibly
important.
We
need
to
continue
to
be
vigilant
and
standing
up
for
civil
rights.
E
E
So
I
won't
go
on
and
on
about
this
I
think
it's
incredibly
important.
It's
incredibly
proud
of
when
this
body
unanimously
supported
the
two
that
14
bill.
These
updates
are
necessary
in
a
changed
environment.
Look
forward
to
working
with
my
colleagues
on
a
quick
hearing,
the
mayor's
administration,
the
police
department,
ACLU
immigration
advocates
and
others
to
make
sure
Boston
continues
to
have
a
strong
policy,
protects
our
public
safety
and
protects
everyone
in
the
city.
Thank
you.
Thank.
L
L
We
have
stated
quite
firmly
as
a
city
that
we
stand
by
all
people
who
live
here,
that
our
job
is
not
to
determine
whether
they
have
a
right
to
be
here
as
a
US
citizen
or
not,
but
they
will
be
protected,
they
will
be
educated
and
they
will
be
valued
and
I
think
that
this
only
furthers
that
commitment
and
I
just
want
to
again
end
with
commending
the
maker.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
for
this
body
and
those
who
are
here
to
pass
the
first
trust,
Act
and
I.
Look
to
passing
it.
A
You
councillor
Edwards
and
I'm,
assuming
you
also
would
like
to
add
your
name.
Okay,
madam
clerk,
if
you
could
add
councillor
Edwards
anyone
else,
councillor
siamo
councillor,
asabi,
George,
councillor,
Flaherty,
councillor,
Flynn,
councillor,
Janey,
council,
Malley,
councillor
Wu,
as
well
as
the
chair.
Let's
stock
it
zero
nine
seven
five
would
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
government
operations.
L
And
for
that's
very
near
and
dear
to
my
heart
that
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
actually
working
with
my
senator
to
help
craft
its
the
Holmes
Act,
which
is
the
Housing
Opportunity
and
mobility
through
eviction
ceiling.
We
know
that
our
city
and
state
are
facing
a
housing
crisis.
This
resolution
is
not
necessarily
going
to
deal
with
that
end
of
the
housing
crisis.
It's
dealing
with
the
individuals
who,
unfortunately,
have
made
it
out
in
the
other
end,
who
were
evicted
who
were
brought
to
court.
L
As
a
matter
of
fact,
there
are
a
million
people
in
Massachusetts
with
an
eviction
record.
Many
of
them
are
women.
Many
of
them
are
people
of
color,
but
all
of
them
or
excuse
me,
80%
of
them,
are
in
we're
in
eviction
court
because
they
didn't
have
the
rent.
That's
really
what
has
caused
most
evictions
and
with
our
rising
rents,
especially
we're
finding
more
and
more
people
not
being
able
to
make
them.
L
So
these
records
oftentimes
are
inaccurate
and
they're
used
by
third
party
servicing
companies
to
rendered
automatic
judgments
to
prevent
landlords
from
even
renting
to
or
even
considering
that
person
as
a
tenant.
Let's
be
clear:
I'm
a
landlord
and
I
do
support
being
able
to
do
a
background
check
on
tenants
and
finding
out
if
they
have
an
eviction
record,
but
it
doesn't
make
any
sense.
Nor
is
it
really
important
to
know
or
helpful
to
know
that
a
person
was
evicted
20
years
ago.
L
These
records
from
20
years
ago
are
permanently
available
and
publicly
searchable
right
now
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
stop.
It
creates
a
scarlet
letter
e
on
a
person
and
creates
a
stigma
with
what
really
means
is
that
they
just
didn't.
Have
the
money
at
one
point
in
their
life,
we're
talking
about
seniors,
many
of
them
women
on
Social
Security.
Now
who
have
an
eviction
record
and
some
of
them
are
facing
displacement
already
having
low
income
and
Social
Security.
L
They
now
also
have
this
scarlet
letter
from
the
80s
or
from
the
90s,
the
chances
of
them
finding
a
new
place
is
extremely
low
and
we
just
don't
think
that
tenants
should
be
denied
access
or
denied
our
have
a
stigma
for
fighting
for
their
rights,
because
what
we've
also
found
is
eviction.
Records
are
created
the
minute
that
a
landlord
files,
a
court
art
files
a
case
in
court.
At
that
moment
you
are
defendant
and
that's
what's
available
to
the
public.
Now
you
may
have
worked
it
out
with
with
the
landlord
a
lot
of
tenants.
L
Think
they've
actually
with
by
signing
an
agreement
for
judgment
that
they
will
not
have
a
record.
That
is
not
true.
We're
finding
that
many
people
who've
worked
it
out,
who
walked
away,
who
left
without
being
formally
evicted,
still
have
an
eviction
record,
and
they
didn't
know
that
your
case
could
have
been
dismissed.
You
could
have
even
won,
and
it's
still
a
black
America
against
you
landlords
that
I've
spoken
to
didn't
know
that
by
filing
these
notices
to
quit
and
going
to
court
that
they
were
actually
creating
permanent
eviction
records
against
their
tenants.
L
This
is
a
just-in-case
measure
that
a
lot
of
them
take
and
they're
advised
to
take,
but
they
didn't
realize
that
this
is
going
to
cause
permanent
damage
to
their
tenants.
The
majority
have
no
idea
about
this.
I
didn't
know
about
this.
As
a
landlord.
The
mass
law
reform
Institute
recent
released
a
report
evicted
for
life,
I
provided
a
copy
for
everyone
to
see.
That
demonstrates
many
instances
where
people
are
arguing
eviction
records.
L
It
also
demonstrates
the
impact
on
that
how
they're
rejected
for
housing,
how
they're
misidentified
and
how,
to
this
day,
landlords
name
children
when
they're
evicting
the
entire
family,
so
the
mother,
the
father,
the
children,
are
also
named
as
defendants.
So
you
have
children
graduating
from
college
who
would
like
to
rent
their
first
apartment
and
they
have
an
eviction
record.
L
They
did
not
sign
the
lease
they
didn't
not
pay
the
rent
but
they're
the
ones
who
have
the
burden
in
the
record
actually
report
in
terms
of
misidentification
found
that
a
woman's
name
by
Maria
Rivera,
there's
three
hundred
and
forty
cases
with
a
woman's
name
like
that,
and
you
could
look
up
any
other
common
name
and
you
will
find
that
they
are
that
they
are
filled
with
hundreds
of
those
names
and
a
lazy
third
party
reporting
agency.
Oftentimes
would
then
say
the
Maria
Rivera
applying
for
my
apartment
should
be
discarded
and
dismissed.
L
We
think
those
tenant
screening
companies
should
be
accurate
and,
if
they're
not
accurate,
that
they
should
pay
a
fine.
So
we're
asking
them
for
the
state
to
take
action
on
this
legislation
proposed
by
representative
Mike,
Moran
and
Senator
John
Corey.
We
protect
tenants
from
being
unfairly
branded
with
an
eviction
record
by
sealing
those
records
until
a
judgment
is
rendered
and
ensuring
the
accuracy
of
the
records
so
not
so
no
longer
will
a
person
who
has
simply
filed
has
a
case
filed
against
them
automatically
be
given
an
eviction
record.
L
Instead,
we
want
them
to
go
to
the
process
in
a
sealed
record,
and
only
if
a
judge
finds
that
you
didn't
pay
the
rent
or
you
violated
the
lease
or
that
you
need
to
be
evicted.
Should
that
record
be
made
public.
If
you
managed
to
work
it
out,
we
don't
see
the
point
in
punishing
you
for
the
rest
of
your
life,
and
we
also
think
that
once
those
records
are
made
public,
there
should
be
a
finite
amount
of
time
that
they're
available
to
the
public.
L
We
look
to
already
what
the
state
house
did
when
it
came
to
core
reform.
Misdemeanors
were
giving
people
a
second
chance
after
three
years
after
a
misdemeanor.
We
think
that
this
should
be
on
parity
with
that.
So,
after
three
years
have
you
been
evicted,
we
believe
that
the
case
should
be
sealed
and
you
should
be
allowed
to
move
on
with
your
life.
I
want
to
be
very
clear
as
a
landlord
in
helping
to
draft
and
work
on.
This
I
made
very
clear
that
landlords
rights
to
evict
are
not
impacted
by
this
law.
L
The
process,
the
timing,
the
notice,
the
costs
all
of
those
things
stay,
the
exact
same,
we're
talking
about
a
person
being
able
to
move
on
with
their
life
after
they've
been
evicted.
It's
those
individuals,
those
million
individual
cases
that
we're
trying
to
protect
good
thing
about
this
is
that
there's
a
growing
coalition
behind
this.
We
see
that
this
is
beyond
just
a
landlord-tenant
conversation.
L
We
have
organizations
such
as
SEIU
11.
Excuse
me
SEIU
888.
We
have
young
B's
and
people
who
support
then
increasing
density
in
our
communities.
We
have
the
ACLU
of
Massachusetts.
We
have
the
Jewish
Alliance
for
law
and
social,
just
Massachusetts
jobs
with
justice,
mayor
credit,
oniy
of
Somerville,
home
start,
mass
law,
reform,
Greater,
Boston,
Legal
Services,
and
it's
a
growing
coalition,
where
we
expect
only
more
more
individuals
from
the
labor
community
from
the
racial
justice
from
the
gender
justice
from
all
different
communities
to
come
on
board
with
us.

Eamon
I

advocates
on
repressing
ting
in
the
city
of
Boston.
The

a.m.

the
Atkins
room
at
City.
Hall
I
have
extended
invitations
to
all
my
colleagues,
so
a
quorum
may
be
present.
If
you
have
any
questions,
please
feel
free
to
contact
me
sincerely.
Michelle
woo,
Boston
city
councilor,.
A
It
the
second
late
foul
matter,
will
be
placed
on
file
moving
on
to
the
Green
sheets.
Anybody
wishing
to
remove
a
matter
may
do
so
now.
Moving
right
along
I
am
informed
by
the
clerk
that
there
are
too
late
file
matters
which,
in
the
absence
of
objection,
will
be
added
to
today's
consent
agenda
hearing
and
seeing
no
objections.
The
too
late
file
matters
are
so
added.
The
chair
moves
for
adoption
of
the
consent
agenda
at
this
time,
all
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it.
The
consent
agenda
has
been
adopted.
D
D
To
continue
to
do
everything
we
can,
whether
it's
for
the
immigrant
community,
whether
it's
for
tenants
who
have
been
evicted,
whether
it's
dealing
with
the
wealth
gap
in
Boston.
We
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
ensure
that
we
are
all
are
all
truly
free
in
this
country.
There
are
wonderful
celebrations.
If
folks
are
interested,
there
was
Roxbury
homecoming
at
Franklin
Park
last
Saturday.
It
was
an
amazing
event.
D
There
are
Juneteenth
celebrations
today,
both
in
my
district
I'm
sure
there
are
other
events
happening
as
well,
but
at
the
Center
for
afro-american
artists,
there's
a
wonderful
celebration:
they
do
it
every
single
year
at
the
Museum
of
Fine
Arts.
There's
a
celebration
as
well:
I
encourage
folks
to
come
out
to
support
those
events.
If
you
can,
if
you
cannot
certainly
to
read
up
happy
to
talk
with
folks
after,
if
people
are
confused
about
why
we
need
to
celebrate
Juneteenth.
D
The
short
answer
is
after
the
Emancipation
Proclamation
in
1863,
or
to
two
and
a
half
year
for
folks
in
Texas
those
who
were
enslaved
in
Texas
to
to
realize
or
to
be
told
that
freedom
in
fact
was
here.
But,
as
I
said
at
the
beginning,
freedom
is
an
ongoing
struggle
and
we've
got
to
make
sure
that
everyone
in
our
communities
that
we
represent
everyone
in
our
city
and
everyone
in
this
nation
are
truly
free.
So
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
with
folks
Thank
You.

A
G
Two
weeks
ago
today,
my
dear
colleague
from
East,
Boston
and
I,
introduced
a
hearing
order
on
period
poverty
and
making
sure
that
we
had
menstral
products
later
in
that
meeting
I
had
a
hearing
order
on
textile
recycling.
All
of
us
have
been
working
on
composting
and
I'm
delighted
to
report
that,
because
of
the
good
leadership
of
our
mayor
and
his
incredible
team,
all
of
those
things
are
going
into
effect.
So
people.
G
Moving
slowly
and
it
does
at
a
glacial
pace,
often
times,
but
once
in
a
while
you'll
see
good
people
working
together
to
get
things
done,
and
it's
a
great
day
and
I'm
proud
of
all
of
you
and
my
this
incredible
body
for
our
great
leadership
and
partnership
with
the
mayor
and
his
his
great
leadership
on
these
as
well.
So
that's
all
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you.
Thank.
H
Want
to
wish
all
of
our
students
in
the
Boston
Public
Schools
today
is
their
last
day
it's
day,
180,
if
they're
still
in
school
and
today,
those
that
have
muscled
through
to
the
very
last
day
I
just
want
to
wish
them
a
very
safe
and
happy
summer.
I
wish
my
teacher
friends
who
I
say
you
know
people
ask
me
all
the
time
do
I
miss
the
classroom.
H
They
certainly
miss
being
with
young
people
day
in
and
day
out,
but
more
than
that
I
miss
my
colleagues,
the
teachers,
the
left
to
the
right
across
the
hall
and
I
know
that
they're
all
most
we're
probably
out
now
is
it's
a
half
a
day
in
Boston,
Public
Schools,
and
they
have
kicked
off
their
summer,
those
that
are
taking
the
summer
off.
They
deserve
every
single
minute.
H
I,
say
I
want
my
kids
teachers
to
be
so
exhausted
by
the
time
they
get
to
summer
that
the
only
place
they
want
to
find
themselves
is
on
the
beach
are
just
enjoying
their
time
off.
Some
of
them
will
commit
working
over
the
summer,
whether
at
summer,
school
or
other
employment,
as
many
of
our
teachers
do
have
second
jobs,
but
I
just
want
to
wish
them
all
I
thank
them
for
a
great
school
year
and
wish
them
a
wonderful
summer
off.
Thank
you,
Thank.
