A
City

the
boston

A
As
you
know,
the
purchase
of
these
working
sessions.
The
purpose
of
these
working
sessions
is
to
facilitate
a
conversation
among
counselors
about
the
fy
23
budget
and
pursuant
to
the
council's
authority.
Under
the
recently
amended
charter,
discuss
potential
amendments.
The
council
would
like
to
make
to
the
fy
23
budget
appropriations
as
proposed
for
those
in
the
room
with
us
today.
I
would
like
to
note
that
we
will
not
be
holding
a
public
comment
period
during
our
working
sessions,
but
members
of
the
public
are
encouraged
to
testify
on
the
budget
during
budget
hearings.
A
A
I
am
joined
today
by
my
colleagues
counselor
julia
mejia
at
large
counselor
aaron
murphy
at
large
counselor,
michael
flaherty,
at
large
council
of
president
ed
flynn,
district,
two
counselor
kendra
lara
district,
six,
councilor
liz,
braden
district,
nine
councillor,
gabriella
coletta
district,
one
counselor
brian
warrell
district.
Four.
A
If
you're
watching
this
later
you'll
notice
that
other
counselors
will
be
joining
us,
they've
sent
me
messages
that
they
are
running
behind,
because
they're
attending
a
different
event.
A
This
war
concessions
for
those
of
you,
who've,
never
worked.
Watch
a
working
session
from
the
home
is
a
bit.
I
guess
not
as
rigid
or
not
with
the
same
rules.
We
would
be
more
casually
going
back
and
forth,
but
all
by
recommendations
or
facilitation
by
the
chair
of
course.
So
I
ask
you
that
you,
you
can
raise
your
hand.
A
A
But
as
long
as
you
wait
until
I
call
on
your
name
to
speak.
Thank
you.
If
you
guys
have
any
opening
statement,
light
up
your
mics,
and
I
will
call
on
you
for
to
make
your
opening
statements.
A
A
In
that
case,
today's
working
session
will
be
the
last
of
four
working
sessions
for
us
as
counselors
to
discuss
together
how
we
feel
about
the
budget
today.
We'll
continue
our
discussion
on
proposed
amendments,
and
I
guess
I'm
not
I'm
not
going
to.
I
can
go
in
order
of
arrival
for
for
the
amendment
any
thoughts
or
amendment
suggestions
it
where
we
were
or
I
can
start
presenting
and
then,
if
you,
if
it
applies
to
you
and
you
want
to
speak
on
it,
raise
your
hand
or
light
up
your
mic.
A
I
have
a
list
of
the
amendments,
at
least
that
I
feel
I've
taken
out
at
least
that
I
feel
that
appropriate
to
suggest
to
the
administration
I've
taken
out
all
of
the
capital,
any
capital
projects
or
any
projects
that
or
any
suggestions
that
we've
discussed
that
could
come
from
arpa
or
that
we
could.
Oh,
that
we've
already
filed
to
request
funds
from
arpa.
A
With
that
being
said,
I
will
add,
I
will
read
from
description
where
it's
going
and
where
we're
suggesting
it
comes
from,
and
I
will
not
read
the
counselor's
name.
If
you
want
to
make
a
comment
again,
your
mics
or
your
hand.
Thank
you.
A
So
a
council
counselor
counselor,
suggested
the
following
additional
inspector
for
pest
control,
150
000
for
additional
inspector
for
pest
control
from
I
am
suggesting
that
it
comes
from
isd
to
isd.
A
13
hokies
all
together
and
two
in
austin
brighton,
one
in
chinatown,
two
in
roxbury,
I'm
sorry
guys
it
didn't
print
out.
Let
me
just
pull
it
up.
B
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
Could
you
provide
or
could
someone
provide
a
little
more
information
on
the
unspent
boston,
fire
department
funds
and
what
part
of
money
in
the
fire
department
was
that
money
allocated
to
for
what?
For
what
purpose
and
was
the
was
the
fire
department
not
spending
it
for
a
particular
reason?
B
A
Okay,
thank
you,
council.
President
flynn,
I
don't
have
the
actual
explanation
from
what
the
administration
has
been
sharing
is
that
this
poses
a
problem,
because
there
is
no
specific,
like
unspent
amounts
that
they've
given
me,
and
so
I
think
that
we
could
mark
this
as
something
to
discuss
further,
and
I
do
have
a
checklist
of
the
things
that
we're
okaying
so
far
and
the
things
that
we
have
to
come
back
and
discuss
before
actually
proposing
it.
Okay,
so
I've
take
I've
removed
the
checklist.
It's
not
final,
we'll
come
back
so
that
we
can
discuss.
E
A
D
Madam
chair
council,
murphy,
yes,
so,
like
council
of
flint
said
I
did
have
a
question
at
the
last
working
session,
also
because
there
seemed
to
be
several
when
the
column
of
where
we're
going
to
get
the
money
from
so
I
do
have
the
same
question
of.
Is
this
really
unspent
money
or
is
it
just
not?
A
Okay,
the
administration
is
here
and
they
I'm
happy
to
get
those
answers
before
making
actual
suggestions
actually
submitting
the
amendment,
but
it's
not
checked
yet.
Let's,
let's
table
it
for
more
further
conversation.
A
Thank
you
no
problem.
Next
is
so
a
bus
company
or
an
rfi
for
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
go
to
tourism
for
a
tourist
company
to
do
tours
in
the
areas
of
south
end
roxbury
and
dorchester.
A
I
don't
actually
I
think
this
will
be
tabled.
I
don't
actually
have
a
place
to
take
this
funds
from
yet
so
I
think
we'll
table
it
and
come
back
to
the
conversation
for
now.
If
I
can
just
get
through
the
list
and
we
check
off
the
things
that
we
all
are
okay
with
moving
forward.
A
Thank
you
so
also
75
000
for
the
mission
hill
link
to
extend
to
roxbury
as
well.
A
A
Let
me
just
be
specific
about
the
amount
726
thousand
dollars
to
go
to
tree
maintenance,
urban
wilds
for
power
corps
and
project
manager
grant
to
bgwt,
and
it
would
go
to
parks,
personnel,
and
the
suggestion
was
that
it
comes
out
of
bpd,
unspent
boston,
boston,
police
department,
unspent
any
comments
or
concerns
council
flaherty.
F
A
A
I
am
documenting
that
now
and
as
far
as
your
list,
I've
removed
anything
that
was
capital,
anything
that
was
suggested
that
could
come
out
of
our
dollars
and
then,
of
course,
my
list
looks
like
things
that
I
think
are
green
like
good
to
go
and
then
we'll
get
into
more
difficult
conversations
about
those
lists
that
I've
said
that
I
that
we
moved
the
capital
and
arpa.
I
will
go
into
record
and
say
exactly
what
those
are,
but
from
the
agreement
that
we
came
down
to
in
the
last
working
session.
A
F
So
then,
I
guess
the
question
is
in
order
for
us
as
a
city
to
have
a
standalone
tree
pruning
division
whereby
each
district,
each
parks,
department
district,
would
have
their
own
tree
pruner.
I
guess
the
question
would
be
with
the
request
with
a
suggestion
from
our
colleague
with
700,
and
I
don't
know
what
the
number
72
725
7
would
that
be
enough.
I
guess
is
my
follow-up
question:
do
we
we
currently
now
sub?
F
We
contract
it
out,
so
anyone
that
needs
tree
pruning
services
in
their
respective
districts
have
to
reach
out
to
the
parks
they
have
to
reach
out
to
the
arborist.
They
get
told
that
they
don't
have
enough.
Arborists
they're
told
that
they'll
put
it
on
the
list
and
then
you
can't
cut
them
down
certain
times
of
the
year
and
then
they
don't
get
to
that
list.
They'll
put
it
on
next
year's
list,
and
so
people
just
take
matters
into
their
own
hands
and
they
just
start
cutting
trees
down
on
their
own
streets.
F
A
Okay,
the
mat-
I
don't
recall
exactly
how
many
that
would
mean
for
each
district
or
if
that
even
reaches
the
capacity
that
we
want.
I
think
that
we
can
definitely
I've
highlighted
that
we
need
to
discuss
the
amount.
G
A
Okay,
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
2ft
soar
to
the
soar
program
in
charlestown.
The
suggestion
that
I'm
making
is
that
it
comes
from
boston,
public
health
commission
to
boston,
public
health,
commission.
A
Six
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
towards
civic
engagement
funds
for
each
counselor's
office
to
be
able
to
provide
reimbursement
receipts
to
the
council
administration
in
order
to
fund
civic
engagement
activities
with
four
constituents
again,
that's
that
would
that
would
turn
out
to
be
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
each
counselor's
office.
A
The
suggestion
was
that
it
came
out
of
bfd
unused
funds,
but
I've
sent
a
message
to
administration
so
that
we
can
get
more
clarity
on
that
and
we'll
return.
So
I
won't
give
that
a
go.
I
know
that
the
idea
was
a
go,
but
obviously,
where
we're
decreasing,
the
money
is
still
unclear.
So
we'll
come
back
to
that.
A
Eight
million
dollars
to
fund
summer
jobs
for
two
to
six
thousand
youth
and
pay
increase
in
2023
fy
2023..
This
was
a
go
in
as
far
as
the
idea,
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
consider
after
conversations
with
administration.
A
I
think
that
we
need
to
consider
whether
or
not
we
are
going
to
be
able
to
get
full
support,
meaning
enough
to
override
a
decision
from
the
administration.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
to
my
colleagues.
I
unfortunately
was
not
here
when
we
took
the
vote
in
support
of
the
two
suggested
budget
amendments
that
came
from
my
office,
specifically
around
youth
jobs,
but
I
know
that
a
part
of
the
conversation
was
about
where
the
money
comes
from
and
getting
agreement
on
where
the
money
comes
from.
H
I
know
that
most
of
us
are
in
agreement
about
cutting
this
amount
from
the
boston
police
department's
overtime
budget,
but
we
do
not
have
a
veto,
proof
majority,
and
so
I
have
given
all
of
my
council
colleagues
a
justification
for
pulling
this
amount
from
the
boston
police
department's
budget.
And,
if
you
allow
me,
I
would
like
to
talk
through
it
a
little
bit
just
to
share
and
see
if
by
any
chance,
I
can
convince
my
colleagues
to
vote
in
support
of
this
amendment.
We
have
been
in
conversation
how
long.
A
H
Need
just
a
couple
of
minutes:
I'm
not
going
to
read
the
entire
thing.
I
think
everybody
has
it.
We
have
been
in
conversations
with
the
administration
about
adjusting
this
number.
The
administration
has
not
yet
yet
provided
us
with
the
justification
for
the
attrition
rates
they
are
working
on
it.
They
said
that
I
would
have
it
before
the
end
of
this
hearing.
H
So
if
we,
if,
for
some
reason
there
is
a
question
or
an
ability
for
to
shrink
this
number,
then
once
we
get
the
justification
from
the
mayor's
office,
then
we
can
have
that
conversation,
but
for
right
now
the
amendment
I'm
keeping
the
amendment
as
presented.
H
So
ultimately
there,
the
conversation
was
about
using
the
the
boston
police
department's
overtime
budget.
On
the
first
page,
you
can
see
the
table
that
one
cutting
the
police
overtime
budget
is
going
to
really
lead
to
change
in
spending
over
on
overtime
in
from
fy17
to
fy20,
the
police
overtime
budget
increased
every
single
year
and
in
the
same
years
the
spending
also
increased.
The
information
that
we
have
from
the
administration
shows
that
in
fy,
20
and
fy21,
when
the
police
overtime
budget
was
cut,
the
actual
overtime
spending
actually
lowered.
H
And
so
even
though
we
expect
that
the
boston
police
department
is
still
going
to
go
over
the
budget
that
we
give
them
cutting
the
police
overtime
budget
is
actually
shown
to
signal
to
them
that
they
need
to
be
more
prudent
with
their
spending
and
shrink
their
numbers.
And
so
we
have
that,
and
it
shows
that
here
if
we
cut
the
overtime
budget.
H
Ultimately,
I
think
that
it
will
have
an
impact
in
our
spending
and
it
will
signal
to
the
boston
police
department
to
spend
less,
even
if
they
go
over
the
budget,
that
we
are
giving
them
the
in
recent
history-
and
this
is
section
three
page
two
for
the
folks
that
are
following
along
the
city
has
usually
regularly
ended
up
with
far
more
than
13.7
million
dollars,
which
is
the
total
of
my
budget
request
in
extra
money
available
for
appropriations
than
originally
budgeted.
H
The
following
chart
just
shows
how
we
used
that
surplus
in
the
same
in
the
same
years,
and
so
you
can
look
at
that
chart
and
see
where
that
money
was
split,
and
so
the
adopted
budget
calls
for
a
40
million
dollar
in
reserves
to
be
used.
But
in
all
of
those
years
the
40
million
dollars
has
actually
not
used
has
not
been
used,
because
we've
had
so
much
overage.
H
If
you
go
to
the
bottom
of
page
five,
the
bottom
of
page
four
point
four
section:
four,
basically
notes
that
the
mayor's
revenue
estimates
in
june
are
higher
than
the
original
estimates
that
we
have
in
april.
So
the
budget
that
we
have
right
now.
The
estimates
for
the
appropriations
are
basically
lower
than
what
we're
going
to
get
from
the
mayor's
proposed
investments.
So,
even
if
we
use
this
revenue
to
adopt
some
of
the
city
council's
proposed
investments,
the
mayor
can
use
some
of
that
money.
H
Even
if
the
mayor
rejects
the
city
council's
proposed
cuts,
there's
still
money
to
be
used
there
and
you
can
see
there
in
that
table
for
the
past
three
years,
the
april
proposed
budget
and
the
june
final
for
appropriations.
In
section
five
in
the
middle
of
page
five,
it's
basically
talking
about
budget
health.
H
I
think
people
are
concerned
about
budget
health
and,
in
the
very
unlikely
event,
as
you
can
see
in
all
of
the
tables
that
I've
given
you
that
moving
13.7
million
from
police
over
time
would
lead
to
any
additional
spending
from
the
reserves.
The
amount
would
be
incredibly
small
compared
to
the
city's
fund.
Balance
and
reserves,
so,
at
the
end
of
2022,
the
city
had
a
fund
balance
of
1.21
billion
dollars,
which
is
30
of
our
annual
exponentials.
H
13.7
million
dollars
represents
a
1.1
of
this
amount.
In
fact,
every
single
year
the
massachusetts
department
of
revenue
certifies
our
budgetary
fund
balance,
which
we
call
free
cash
here.
So
this
is
not
the
amount
that
the
city
has
in
cash
on
hand,
it's
actually
defined
as
the
portion
available
of
reserves
which
the
city
can-
and
this
is
the
key
word
responsibly
appropriate
for
spending,
meaning
that
we
could
spend
the
entire
amount
and
it
would
have
not.
H
It
would
have
no
impact
on
the
financial
health
of
the
city
of
boston,
so
it's
defined
as
the
amount
that
we
can
use
responsibly.
So
the
state
certifies
this
every
year,
so
we
could
use
all
of
the
budgetary
fund
balance
without
jeopardizing
the
health
of
the
city.
The
budgetary
fund
balance
our
free
cash
has
increased
every
single
year
since
2014
and
is
currently
at
428.1
million.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Councillor
there
are
at
least
I
know
that
at
least
to
one
or
two
very
minimum
one
person,
but
max
two
counselors
are
on
their
way.
C
A
Can
hold
to
get
a
general
consensus
from
when
those
folks
join
us?
Those
counselors
join
us
and
we'll
come
back
and
reserve
questions
and
discussions
for
that
time.
But
I
think
at
this
point
we've
we
all
well.
The
majority
you've
already
gained
the
majority
support
in
terms
of
the
idea
we
need
to.
I
I
now,
as
the
chair,
need
to
understand
and
see
if
you
can
get
that
nine.
Okay,
the
nine
votes
support
and
if
we
can,
then
that's
that's
what
determines
it.
A
Absolutely
so
we're
tabling
a
conversation
about
eight
million
to
be
removed
from
boston
police
over
time
to
be
to
to
go
to
yee
for
youth
summer
jobs
as
well
as
the
following,
which
is
5
million.
A
Council
lara.
Would
you
like
to
proceed
since
we
have
enough
people
now?
Okay,
the
question
on
the
table
one
moment:
the
question
on
the
table
is
that
we
we've
already
supported
the
idea,
but
the
determining
factor
is
whether
or
not
we
can
get
nine
support
on
the
nine
counselors
to
support
the
idea
and
counselors
to
support
where
it's
coming
from
and
if
that's
the
case,
it
goes
through.
A
It
would
seem
that
we
have
enough
people
to
try
to
get
nine
should
if
council
baker
is
on
his
way.
We
can.
We
can
wait
council
ira.
What
would
you
like
to
do.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
because
I
wasn't
here
at
the
end
of
our
last
amendment
session,
to
see
how
my
council,
colleagues
voted
in
terms
of
removing
this
amount
from
the
boston
police
overtime
budget.
I
would
like
to
ask
for
a
roll
call
vote
so
then
we
can
start
the
conversation
from
there.
H
A
A
The
same
the
same
that
we're
discussing
now,
please
don't
call
me,
please
raise
your
hand
or
light
up
your
mic.
Yes,
council
block.
J
J
I
think,
on
the
last
few
years
of
maybe
normal
council,
that
has
always
been
the
challenge,
so
the
onboarding
process
has
to
be
really
a
quick
turnaround
and
if
we're
increasing
the
number
of
young
people
that
we
want
to
offer
youth
jobs
to
do,
we
have
to
increase
the
capacity
of
our
human
resources
department
to
facilitate
that
onboarding,
and
it's
just
like,
I
think
the
goal
we're
we,
I
think
most
we're
all
in
agreement
of
the
goal.
J
It's
a
good
idea,
but
it's
really
how
we
get
there
and
the
logistics
of
making
it
happen
are
are
important
details
that
we
need
to
attend
to.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
can
answer
through
the
chair
that
question
for
counselor
braden.
The
answer
to
that
is
yes,
so
this
measure
of
increasing
the
youth
jobs
to
6000
for
the
summer
and
1500
for
the
school
year
is
actually
coming
from
the
mayor's
office
and
has
been
submitted
to
us
in
that
way.
So
my
assumption
is
that
the
mayor
believes
that
the
human
resources
department
and
the
ye
also
has
the
capacity
to
onboard
young
people.
Part
of
our
original
amendment
actually
included
increasing.
H
I
did
have
a
meeting
with
chief
muscle
yesterday,
and
chief
muscle
was
very
clear
that
we
are
going
to
be
there
they're
going
to
be
working
on,
ultimately
putting
a
proposal
forward
for
making
sure
that
ye
is
doing
their
own
hiring
and
that
we
don't
have
to
use
the
city's
human
resource
basically
database,
because
it
is
what
is
slowing
us
down.
So
there
is
currently
a
plan
to
move
it
forward.
H
We
don't
have
the
capacity
in
terms
of
doing
it
in
a
timely
manner,
which
is
why
we're
not
requesting
that
the
jobs
run
from
september
to
june
anymore,
because
we
would
need
to
make
an
investment
in
their
own
database
and
they're
not
prepared
to
make
that
request.
Yet,
in
our
conversation,
we
also
talked
about
what
the
outreach
plan
would
be
between
my
office
and
other
counselors
to
make
sure
that
we
fill
those
jobs.
But
as
of
right
now,
mayor
wu
has
said
that
she
wants
to
increase
it
to
6000
to
1500
year
round.
H
C
H
H
I
Council
bloc,
two
things
so
just
to
follow
up
on
counselor
braden's
point.
I
think
the
point
is
that
they
haven't.
They
have
not
changed
the
systems
that
are
actually
going
to
onboard
young
people
to
start
on
whatever.
That
monday
is-
and
I
think,
we've
the
last
two
years
experienced
tremendous
frustration
with
those
delaying
back
a
week,
two
weeks
etc.
H
You
so
much,
I
appreciate
it.
That
is
true
in
terms
of
where
we
are
prepared
to
bring
them
on.
I
think
that
we
know
that
there
is
a
percentage
of
attrition.
The
administration
has
failed
to
provide
us
the
justification
for
the
attrition
or
the
amount
they
have
given
us
a
ballpark
of
anywhere
from
25
to
30
percent.
I
have
asked
for
that
justification,
so
we
are
willing
to
meet
the
attrition
rate
in
terms
of
the
amount,
but
we
still
don't
have
that
number.
H
They
did
say
that
they
would
have
that
number
for
me
before
this
hearing
was
over.
So
I
think
that
if,
if
we
are
suggesting
that
we
don't
have
the
infrastructure
and
therefore
we
shouldn't
fund
the
jobs
we
need
to
be
able
to
like-
I,
I
guess
through
the
chair,
that's
the
question
for
a
counselor
brock.
Are
you
suggesting
that
we
don't
fully
fund
them,
because,
okay.
J
A
A
I,
if
I
don't.
Obviously,
if
I
don't
see
you
and
my
head
is
way
turned
fine,
say
madame
chair,
but
I
would
hope
that
that's
not
your
first
option,
because
everyone
would
be
like
madam
share
madam
chair
or
t-money
bags,
either
way,
so
I
would
like
for
you
guys
to
get
into
dialogues,
but
that
I
moderate
that
does
that
anyone
have
any
questions
about
that
process
cool
if
the
two
of
them
are
going
back
and
forth.
I
would
ask
that
you
wait
a
turn
before
you
can
engage
the
presenter
council
bach.
Please
continue.
I
Yeah,
so
I
think
the
question
is
about
well
two
points.
I
think
one
thing
is:
is
that,
and
I
I
know
I
I
missed
counselor
lara's
presentation,
but
I
did
have
notes
on
it
from
my
staff.
So
forgive
me
if
I,
if
I
get
it
wrong,
but
my
impression
is,
you
know
it's
the
idea
of
kind
of
well.
We
know
that
we've
run
surpluses
in
the
past.
Let's
take
money,
we
take
money
from
the
overtime
they
run
over.
Then
we
know
we're
going
to
have
it
in
the
surplus.
I
Last
year
was,
as
you
know,
the
first
year
in
a
while
that
we
took
the
40
and
last
year's
budget
was
also
supported
by
55
in
federal
dollars
and
there's
a
proposal
for
another
40
in
federal
dollars.
So
the
reality
is
what
we've
done
as
a
city
is:
we've
allowed
our
budget
to
continue
to
climb
through
the
covid
period,
including
with
the
revenue
declines
by
backfilling
with
federal
funds,
and
so
I
think
you
know
there's
a
in
that
context.
I
So
I
mean
my
gut
on
this-
is
that
I
think
we
can
and
should
take
some
of
the
police
over
time
line,
because
I
agree
with
you
that
it
it
makes.
It
sends
a
good
signal
to
the
department
about
the
council's
deep
impatience
with
the
huge
cost
overruns,
but
we
also
fundamentally
know
that
that
line
is
not
going
to
come
down
until
we
get
contract
reform.
I
So
I
think
the
council
has
to
be
careful
about
how
much
additional
we
add
to
the
budget
in
light
of
the
fact
that
we're
still
replacing
revenue
with
federal
dollars.
So
because
of
all
that,
the
question
for
me
about
this,
you
know:
how
are
we
not
prepared
to
to
get
everybody
into
a
six-week
youth
job
which
is
unbelievably
frustrating
to
me,
and
ye
will
tell
you.
I
have
bothered
them
about
for
the
last
two
years.
Systems
wise.
I
Is
that
what
doesn't
make
sense,
I
think,
is
for
the
council
to
take
more
than
necessary
out
of
that
budget
in
terms
of
like
what
who
we
can
actually
get
viably
on
the
rolls
right
in
terms
of
the
current
systems
that
ye
has
set
up.
So
I
guess
the
point
to
counselor
laura's
point
and
I
hear
you
on
the
administration
hasn't
provided
these
numbers.
So
that's
a
frustrating
thing.
It's
like.
I
don't
think
that
this
number
is
up
at
13.
I
Is
it
13.7
sorry
I've
forgotten,
but
like?
I
don't
think
that
it's
realistically
at
13.7
in
terms
of
what
we
could
use
if
we
got
all
guns
blazing
today
on
getting
like
every
youth
into
a
job
that
we
with
the
city's
current
systems.
I'm
hopeful
that
we
can
change
the
rate
at
which
ye
converts
job
opportunities
into
actual
jobs
and
pay
for
young
people,
because
I
think
it's
been
hovering
at
more
like
50,
which,
as
opposed
to
even
the
75,
which
would
be
a
plus.
I
I
think
the
shift
into
grants
has
helped
that
but
yeah.
So
for
me,
that's
what
I'm
balancing
it's
like
I'd
like
to
see
us
grow
the
ye
line
and
so
yeah.
The
question
back
would
be
like
you
know,
I'd
like
to
see
us
grow
the
ye
line,
but
I
do
think
there's
a
real
concern
about
how
the
council
communicates
sort
of
its
its
fiscal
responsibility
for
the
city
and
doesn't
deliberately
just
draw
from
a
surplus
that
could
be
less
strong
this
year
than
it
was
in
the
pre-pandemic
years.
So.
H
Yes,
so
one
this
idea
of
fiscal
responsibility
right-
and
I
know
that
you
missed
my
presentation,
but
all
of
that
information
is
there
in
the
packet
in
front
of
you
that
details
very
clearly
how
we
would
not
in
any
way
shape
or
form
be
putting
the
city
of
boston
in
any
fiscal
jeopardy,
and
also
we
would
not
be
dipping
into
the
surpluses
at
all.
H
It's
very,
very,
very
small,
small
chance
that
we
would
be
dipping
into
the
surplus,
giving
all
that
we
have,
even
with
the
lower
numbers
after
the
pandemic,
the
surplus
money
that
we
had
to
add
back
into
the
reserves.
That's
after
we
had
an
extra
and
then
appropriated
those
funds
was
still
15
million
point
four,
so
even
with
the
pandemic,
we
still
wouldn't
be
cutting
into
any
surplus
if
the
police,
overt
and
just
to
be
clear,
because
I
think
it's
important
to
say
this
increasing
this
line
item
is
not
going
into
the
surplus.
H
We
have
more
than
enough
to
be
able
to
do
that
without
actually
having
any
impact
on
the
city's
financial
health.
So
the
argument
is
just
not.
The
argument
is
not
there
to
make
the
numbers
do
not
reflect
that
argument
in
terms
of
what
we're
spending
at
all
I'm
more
than
happy,
and
I
share
your
frustration
in
terms
of
how
many
youth
jobs
we
can
actually
take
on
based
on.
Like
our
capacity,
you
know,
capacity
and
all
of
the
logistical
things,
and
also
if
the
money
is
left
over
in
the
budget.
H
Both
mayor,
menino
and
mayor
walsh
in
previous
years
have
granted
that
money
to
both
the
private
industry,
council
and
abcd
to
have
it
used
for
jobs,
and
so
it
doesn't
mean
that,
just
because
we
can't
house
that
many
jobs
or
we
can't
hire
that
many
young
people
that
that
money
is
somehow
going
to
go
unspent.
We
have
presidents
from
other
mayors
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
we
grant
that
money
out
before
the
fiscal
year
is
up
as
well.
A
Thank
you
that
we'll
stop
there
can
we
can
we
get
a
vote
on
it?
Did
you
sorry
was
this
about
this
discussion
here.
Councilman
here,
chair.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
so
at
the
risk
of
being
vulnerable.
I
I
just
wanted
to
ask,
I
know,
there's
a
lot
on
the
line
here
right
and
we're
talking
about
an
opportunity
for
us
to
change
the
way
we
do
business
right
and
it's
one
year's
budget
right.
So,
let's
just
say
for
instance,
what
lessons
can
we
learn
right
based
on
the
things
that
we
are
embarking
on,
and
you
know
in
terms
of
supporting
this
right?
K
Let's
have
an
opportunity
to
see
what
that
could.
Look
like
right
and
supporting
this
initiative
this
year
is
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
step
it
up
a
notch.
So
I
I
just
think
that
sometimes
we
are
so
afraid
of
taking
risks,
but
if
we
don't,
then
we
may
never
move
the
needle.
So
I
I
just
wanted
to
just
name
that
I
think
we
just
should
it's
a
year.
A
I
Yeah
yeah
and
I
guess
a
question
to
you,
the
chair,
so
first
question
is
because
and
again
I'm
sorry
that
I
was
late
are
any
of
the
other
items
in
the
chairs
amendment
packet,
drawing
from
police
over
time,
no
okay
and
so,
and
so
then
I
guess
so.
Two
quick
things.
One
is
just
to
say
that
what
I
appreciate
the
point
about
one
year
etc.
I
I
do
think
we
just
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
the
the
budgetary
fund
balance
gets
certified
every
year
for
future
one-time
spending,
and
so
one
of
the
challenges
we
have
here
is
that
I
think
we
would
all
like
to
see
a
permanently
more
robust
youth
program.
So
I
think
that
is
a
type
of
money
budget
challenge
for
us,
because
we
wouldn't
do
this
every
year,
but
we
would
want
this
to
continue
every
year.
I
The
other
thing
I
just
want
to
say
is
like
I
would
be
happy
to
support
a
council
vote
to
you
know,
take
from
police
overtime
and
give
to
ye
in
this
round,
with
the
proviso
that
if
the
administration
comes
back
with
more
info
about
like
okay
for
all,
like
we're
doing
everything,
we
possibly
can
what's
the
number
of
actual
like
hours
that
we
can
get
into
our
young
people's
hands
this
year
with
our
program,
and
it's
lower
that,
like
my
su,
my
support
would
match
what
seemed
viable.
So
I
just
want
to
flag
that.
I
A
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
counselor
for
this
for
this
proposal.
This
was
really
well
done.
This
memo
so
kudos
to
you
and
your
team.
I
think
again
I
just
echo
my
colleagues
counselor
bach
and
counselor
braden,
where
I
think
we
all
agree
that
there
should
be
more
youth
jobs,
but
my
concern
is
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
set
ye
for
up
for
success,
and
so
I'm
worried
about
the
again
the
ineffective
aspects
of
the
system
that
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
be
fixed
on
time.
L
So
I
would
like
to
get
that
information
from
the
administration.
I
know
we're
waiting
on
it
I
fee.
I
would
feel
more
comfortable
voting
on
this
until
I
had
that
information
and
just
in
general
talking
about
fiscal
responsibility
there
there
are
other
amendments
or
there
were
amendments
from
other
councillors
pulling
from
bpd
discretionary.
L
So
I
this
is
news
to
me.
That's
coming
that
this
particular
amendment
is
coming
from
or
is
going
to
be
the
majority
of
bpd
discretionary.
So
I
do
support
counselor
box
proviso,
and
I
think
I
would
like
to
consent
come
to
consensus
on
where
the
other
items
are
coming
from
before
we
vote
on
this.
Thank
you.
A
I
think
the
the
concern
was
that
we
didn't
want
to
just
pile
on
a
whole
bunch
of
things
in
bfd
a
whole
bunch
of
things
in
bpd.
So
as
we
go
through
this,
you
will
see
that
a
lot
of
there
is
just,
I
think,
one
I
take
that
back.
So
there
is
just
one
other,
that's
coming
from
bpd
and
it's
actually
recommended
by
you.
A
L
A
There's
been
discussions,
the
administration
has
not
confirmed
nor
denied
anything.
C
B
B
We
usually
have
ships
that
come
into
the
city,
but
if
we
are
cutting
back
the
the
police
budget
is
this
the
opportunity
to
for
us
to
also
discuss
cutting
back
on
events
that
are
happening
in
boston
over
the
next
three
months
over
the
next
five
months
over
the
next
six
months?
Because
if
we
are
cutting
the
police
over
time
overtime
budget,
you
know
when
we,
we
should
not
be
going
forward
on
a
lot
of
these
major
tourism
events
that
impact
the
economy
of
boston.
B
So
you
know,
if
we're
going
to
cut
the
overtime
budget,
I
think
I
think
in
all
seriousness,
we
should
have
an
honest
discussion
about.
You
know
future
parades
that
we
have
in
this
city
as
well.
That's
a
significant
amount
of
overtime
budget
that
the
police
use
and
they
are
needed
in
various
neighborhoods
across
across
the
city.
B
B
So
I
I
you
know,
I
would
want
us
to
have
an
honest
discussion
and
say
if
we
are
cutting
the
overtime
budget,
that,
let's
let's
eliminate
these
parades,
it
seems
drastic
and
it
seems
like
we're
hurting
the
neighborhoods
which,
which
I
probably
should
probably
think
I
think
we
are
but
we're
in
these
difficult
financial
times,
and
if
we're
making
these
cuts,
then
we're
going
to
have
to
cut
various
events
happening
in
and
around
the
downtown
area
in
and
around
the
the
city
as
well.
B
A
A
Permission
to
speak
yet,
please
give
me
a
moment.
Thank
you
so
much.
I.
I
think
that
if
we
raise
our
hand-
and
we
know
that
we
have
an
issue
with
it-
we'll
address
the
people
that
have
an
issue
council.
Are
you
open
to
address
the
per
the
person
that
is
in
disagreement,
and
I
think
that
by
process
of
elimination
we
can
get
to
a
solution
as
opposed
to
just
going
back
and
forth,
and
everybody
commenting.
A
So
if
we
can
move
forward,
I
see
council
bakers,
council,
flaherty,
then
councillor
arroyo.
E
A
E
F
Chair
just
wanted
to
state
that
the
boston
city
council
has
always
supported
our
youth,
and
this
is
usually
the
time
where
we
throw
an
extra
shoulder
into
youth
summer
jobs
as
well
as
year-round
jobs.
So
I
obviously
appreciate
the
makers.
F
Push
here
would
say
that,
obviously
summer,
jobs
in
year-round
jobs
make
a
tremendous
difference
in
keeping
kids
in
school,
giving
them
opportunities
to
stay
away
from
you
know,
don't
get
involved
with
drugs
and
gangs
and
that
activity
gives
them
experiences
and
opportunities
they're
able
to
earn
some
some
money,
they're,
building
skills,
life
skills
and
credit
worthiness,
so
lots
of
good
things
come
from
both
summer
jobs
and
year-round
jobs
mike.
My
question-
I
guess
is
I
just
don't
know
if
is
13.7.
F
Is
that
the
number?
In
light
of
our
partnerships?
You
know
private
industry,
council
others
as
well
as
the
private
sector,
is
hiring.
I
see
you
know
higher
signs
all
over
the
place,
and
is
this
the
opportunity
for
us
to
to
lean
into
to
those
sort
of
private
sector.
The
coffee
shops
sandwich
ups,
the
restaurants
that
are
all
looking
for
for
for
workers?
Is
this
the
time
and
this
the
year,
where
you
know
sort
of
the
bulk
of
the
jobs
come
from
sort
of
those
partners?
F
If
you
will
so
again,
my
question,
I
guess
is
is:
is
the
number
13.7
I
guess?
What's
the
science
behind
that
specific
number,
should
it
be
2
million?
Should
it
be
4
million,
should
it
be
20
million?
I
just
don't
know
where
we're
justifying
the
13.7
on
the
6
000
in
light
of
what
opportunities
currently
exist
on
the
job
market
and
also
with
just
my
other
concern,
is
obviously
taking
it
from
from
the
police
as
referenced
by
some
of
my
colleagues.
F
You
know
we
have
the
benefit
of
looking
at
what's
happening
in
other
cities,
our
size,
bigger
or
smaller.
Many
of
those
cities
are
upside
down
because
of
actions
that
have
been
taken
against
their
local
police
departments,
and
I
just
would
caution
that
one
of
our
strengths
here,
in
addition
to
having
the
greatest
colleges,
universities,
hospitals,
network,
community
health,
centers
life,
science,
financial
services,
lots
of
mojo
as
well
as
championship
teams.
F
Hopefully,
council
flynn
didn't
jinx
us,
but
that
we're
a
relatively
safe
city
and
people
come
here
because
it's
safe
and
they
invest
here
because
it's
safe
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
the
best
in
terms
of
supporting
our
police
partners
and
not
continue
to
sort
of
take
away
from
what
they
do
and
the
value
that
they
had
and
keeping
our
city
safe.
So
I
love
the
concept
of
more
funding
for
summer
and
year-round
jobs.
They
clearly
make
a
difference
here.
F
I
just
don't
know
if
13.7
is
the
actual
number
that
we
need
to
do
what
we
need
to
do
in
light
of
what's
happening
in
our
economy
and
in
our
partners,
and
I
also
can
caution
just
taking
it
away
from
the
police
department
in
time
when
you
know
we're
demonstrating
through
community
policing
and
our
partnerships,
that
we
are
not
like
these
other
cities
that
we're
seeing
imploding
across
the
country.
Thank
you
manager.
Thank.
A
You
just
for
clarity.
The
eight
million
is
for
six
thousand
jobs
year
of
summer
jobs
and
the
5.5
million
is
for
a
year
around
1500
jobs.
C
G
You
I
just
have
a
few
questions
and
I
think
everybody
I
know
I'm
a
little
a
little
late
today,
but
I
just
want
to
get
cut.
So
I
have
these
as
two
separate
amendments
in
terms
of
the
6
000
increase
to
the
summer
jobs,
and
then
I
thought
that
that
also
included,
but
it
sounds
like
it
doesn't
the
year-round
jobs.
I
thought
the
six
or
it's
actually
short
of
six.
It's
like
five
point,
five.
That
makes
it
to
thirteen
seven
was
for
wage
increases.
G
G
It's
probably
not
the
last
question,
but
it
then
informs
like
my
second
question
which
is:
are
we
then
voting
on
these
as
separate
amendments,
and
it's
not
a
vote?
So
let
me
take
that
back,
but
are
we
indicating
support
on
these
as
separate
amendments
or
together
as
one.
G
Okay
and
then
I
know
that
the
way
we
did
this
and
it's
probably
for
the
chair,
I
know
the
way
that
we
have
done
this
in
the
past
is
we
vote
support
for
where
the
money
is
going
and
then
there's
this
or
not,
and
then
we
have
a
different
conversation
about
where
the
money's
coming
from.
Is
that
how
we're
doing
this
one
or
is
it
just
one
vote.
A
G
Coming
from
okay,
and
so
then
I
guess
my
question
is,
and
this
is
for
counselor
lara.
I
think
what
I
heard
counselor
bach
and
others
mentioned
tonight,
and
I
don't
think
I'm
misrepresented,
but
if
I
am
pleased
to
jump
in
is
that
if
the
city
comes
back
and
says
we
can't
actually
do
it
to
this
amount,
then
we
would
adjust
the
dollars
to
reflect
the
amount
they
could
do.
It
is
that,
basically,
the
idea.
G
A
Or
whether
or
not
they
are
willing
or
capable
or
able
to
get
it
from
the
location
that
the
department
that
lara
is
suggesting.
G
G
These
are
for
jobs
from
14
to
18
year
olds,
and
I
know
that
the
boston
herald
certainly
has
had
a
daily
tracker
of
conversations
about
whatever
thing
a
juvenile
gets
into
the
business
of
doing
nowadays,
and
so
this
is
very
much
needed,
and
so
that's
not
really
my
concern.
I
also
just
want
to
be
clear-
and
I
appreciate
this
memo,
which
I
I
saw
late,
but
thank
you
that
goes
into
what
we've
seen
for
overages.
G
I
think
we
all
know
at
this
point
that
boston
police
department
over
time
is
statutory.
So
what
we're
really
talking
about
is:
are
we
willing
to
dip
into
reserves
for
youth
jobs,
because
whether
or
not
we
budget,
the
overtime
they've
been
very
liberal
in
using
it,
so
it
doesn't
really
make
a
difference.
So
really,
what
we're
having
conversation
about
is
this
doesn't
work
for
other
things.
G
So
if
we
don't
budget
youth
jobs,
for
instance,
we
don't
pull
that
out
of
reserves,
and
so
it's
sort
of
a
way
to
shuffle
money
from
reserves
into
things
that
we're
trying
to
do
when
when
it's
from
this,
at
least
as
it's
created,
and
so
I
understand
counselor
box
point
about
what
that
threshold
is,
but
I
think
that
this
is
helpful
in
explaining
exactly
what
we
can
afford
to
do
and
so
really
to
me.
This
is
a
way
of
funding
things
that
aren't
in
the
budget
right
now,
but
it
just
to
be
clear.
G
Together
got
it
okay,
perfect,
thank
you
and
then
that
other
questions
to
you.
H
Thank
you
counselor
arroyo,
and
so
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
I
want
to
start
off
by
answering
the
question
about
why
ee
is
capacity
yee
and
the
administration
has
already
stated
that
they
have
the
capacity
for
6
000
summer
jobs
and
1500
youth
round
jobs.
That
is
what
mayor
wu
came
out
with
her,
that
is
in
mayor
wu's,
proposed
budget.
So
this
is
that
6,
000,
youth
jobs
and
1500
year-round
jobs
is
not
a
part
of
my
amendment.
H
This
amendment
is
to
make
sure
that
the
financial
investment
in
the
budget
is
reflective
of
how
much
it
actually
costs
to
fund
6
000
jobs
in
1500,
year-round
jobs
and
so
in
terms
of
capacity
in
terms
of
our
ability
to
do
that.
The
administration,
by
way
of
including
this
in
their
budget,
has
already
said
that
they
can
manage
this
and
that
this
is
what
they
plan
to
do
now.
I
know
that
so
I
got
the
numbers
from
the
administration,
so
I
will
get
to
that.
H
We
got
the
the
numbers
attrition
numbers
from
the
administration,
so
one
this
is
not
about
this.
The
conversation
that
we're
having
is
not
about
the
six
thousand
fifteen
hundred
jobs,
they
have
said
that
that's
how
much
they
wanna
do.
The
administration
is
committed
to
make
that
happen
to
president
flynn's
question
in
terms
of
where
we're
taking
the
money
from
in
the
mayor's
budget.
H
There's
a
4.4
million
dollar
increase
in
personnel
for
the
boston
police
department,
and
so
we
would
talk
about
the
fact
that
they're
going
so
much
over
the
overtime
budget,
because
they're
understaffed
there
is
4.4
million
dollars
worth
of
personnel
growth
here
in
the
boston
police
department's
budget.
So
I
do
think
that
we
are
even
if
we
do
remove
it
from
the
overtime
budget.
We
are
increasing
capacity
for
the
boston
police
department
in
this
budget,
ultimately
with
bodies.
H
I
I
don't
think
that
it's
a
fair
request
to
to
say
that,
because
we
are
funding
youth
jobs,
that
now
we
can't
have
community
events,
I
think
that
it's
a
false
choice.
I
think
that
we
shouldn't
make
that
choice
for
the
people
in
our
community,
and
so
I
don't
necessarily
have
a
budget
answer
to
that.
I
think
it's
just
a
moral
response
of
is
that
what
we're
gonna,
what
we're
gonna
do.
H
I
think
that
we
can
maintain
what
we're
doing,
and
I
think
the
boston
police
department
can
use
their
overtime
budget
and
they
will
hire
their.
They
will
pay
their
overtime
and
the
city
of
boston
will
pay
it
out,
as
we
always
do
so
to
counselor
flaherty's
question
and
I
think
also
to
counselor
bach's
question
about
this.
This
question
about
capacity.
H
And
so
we
talked
about
moving
some
of
this
line
item
to
the
contractual
so
that
they
wouldn't
just
be
city
jobs,
but
that
it
would
increase
our
capacity.
And
then
we
could
split
it
up
between
these
places,
so
that
came
up
I'm
more
than
willing
to
do
that
to
say:
okay,
let's
move
it
from
personnel
to
contractual
services,
bring
in
more
partners
bring
in
the
private
sector,
bring
in
the
the
businesses
and
bring
in
the
community-based
organizations
and
have
them
do
the
hiring
and
basically
pay
it
out
in
grants.
H
That
is
to
me,
I
think,
a
good
middle
ground
and
to
answer
this
question
about
our
capacity
and
I'm
more
than
willing
more
than
willing
to
do
that
and
talk
about
how
we
get
that
done.
The
number
the
5.5
million
dollars
counselor
arroyo
is
for
the
1500
year-round
jobs
and
for
the
wage
increase
again,
the
wage
increase
is
not
coming
from
my
office.
Mayor
wu
has
committed
already
to
increase
the
wages
from
19
to
24
year
olds
to
17
that's
already
in
the
budget.
It's
a
policy
decision
that
the
mayor
made.
H
The
issue
is
that,
because
of
our
fiscal
year,
it
wouldn't
happen
until
july
of
next
year,
and
so
the
money
that
is
included
in
this
5.5
million
dollars
is
just
to
make
sure
that
the
change
happens
at
the
beginning
of
2023
and
not
until
july.
So,
yes,
it
does
have
some
for
wage
increases
there
19
to
24
year
olds,
they
were
struggling,
I
mean
they
were
struggling
and
that's
the
reason
why
we
increased
it
from
14.
H
I
know
that
there
are
concerns
about
taking
this
money
from
the
police
overtime
budget.
The
the
chair
has
made
sure
that
this
is
the
only
thing
that's
coming
from
the
boston
police
overtime
budget,
because
we
really
want
to
get
your
support.
I
think
that
for
years
this
has
been
a
request
from
our
from
our
constituents
from
everybody
in
the
city.
It's
been,
we've
heard
it
very
loudly
across
the
country.
H
Two
years
ago
the
boston
city
council
said
we're
not
making
symbolic
votes.
If
we
can
only
vote
yes
or
no
on
the
budget,
it's
a
symbolic
vote.
We
can't
actually
do
anything
about
it
and
then
the
boston
city
council
embarked
on
a
massive
campaign
to
amend
the
city
charter.
To
give
us
the
power
to
make
line.
Item
changes
the
catalyst
to
that
was
our
inability
to
shrink
the
police
budget.
H
We
have
the
power
to
do
it
now.
People
are
asking
for
it.
They
want
to
see-
and
I
think
what
council
arroyo
said
is
right
on
this
is
a
reparative
investment
and
it
is
a
preventative
investment
into
public
safety
and
the
well-being
of
young
people
is
the
13.7
million
number
it
no,
and
I
can
get
into
that
right
now,
so
I've
gotten
the
numbers
from
the
administration
in
terms
of
where
the
budget
sources
are
coming
from
and
the
attrition.
Ultimately,
the
city
is
using
a
30
attrition
rate
right
now.
H
For
that
number,
I
am
willing
to
say
that
with
because
we're
planning
on
moving
some
of
this
money
to
contractual
and
therefore
increasing
both
retention
and
capacity
that
if
it
would
convince
one
of
the
four
one
of
my
four
colleagues
that
are
not
in
support
of
bringing
this
to
the
bots,
taking
it
out
of
the
boston
police
overtime
budget,
that
if
it
would
convince
them
to
support
this
and
give
us
a
veto,
proved
proof
majority.
H
H
A
What
does
that
look
like
in
each
line
item.
A
One
second
sorry,
council
lara:
can
you
give
me
the
math
reduce
eight
eight
million
just
so
I
can
continue
to
facilitate
and
the
five
million
five
point
five
by
twenty
five
percent
and
give
it
back
to
me.
Counselor
flaherty.
F
A
quick
question
on
math,
so
if
we're
looking
at
those
two
I'll
just
refer
them
as
line
items
summer,
jobs,
6,
000
summer,
jobs
in
the
2020,
2023
pay
increase,
and
that
comes
to
that's
8.1
round
numbers,
8.1
million.
Okay,
then,
if
we're
going
to
look
at
year-round
jobs
to
the
tune
of
1500
2023,
that
number
comes
to
5.5.
F
So
if
it
was
apples
to
apples,
then
that
the
second
number
would
be
more
in
line
with
2
million
as
opposed
to
5.5.
So
I
guess
the
question
is
yeah.
M
F
Is
the
differential
because
they're
they're
year-round
jobs
so
they're
stretched
out
over
the
so
the
52
weeks
versus
the
summer?
Jobs
are
limited
window.
If
that's
the
case,
that
makes
sense.
C
H
C
H
Yes,
no
pay
increase
for
the
summer
jobs,
counselor
flaherty,
only
the
year-round
jobs.
The
numbers
for
the
original
amendment
is
six
million.
One
hundred
and
seven
thousand.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
I
had
one
question
before
before
we
voted
on
this
before
we
vote
on
this.
Are
we
able
to
determine
from
the
mayor's
office,
maybe
or
from
boston
police,
that
if
we
were
to
make
this
cut
from
the
overtime
budget,
what
impact
would
it
have
on
on
the
police
and
staffing
levels?
B
And
I
referenced
that
by
by
saying
many
police
officers,
because
they're,
because
we
have
so
because
we
are
down
in
numbers?
Many
as
as
we
all
know,
especially
district
councils,
are,
are
forced
to
work
overtime
as
part
of
the
shift,
basically
a
16-hour
shift.
But
are
we
able
to
get
a
sense
from
the
mayor's
office
about
what
impact
this
would
have
on
our
manning
levels
in
the
districts?
If
we
make
this
cut,
does
that
mean
that
boston
police
are
still
able
to
continue
with
the
appropriate
manning
levels
that
we
have
or
would
we
would?
B
We
reduce?
You
know
the
number
of
police
we
have
on
the
street,
and
I
just
I
just
would
like
a
an
answer
for
that
before
before
I
vote,
because
I
I
think
that's
an
important,
an
important
factor
in
in
how
I
decide
is,
if,
if
the
boston
police
say
it
has
no
impact
on
on
manning
levels,
this.
H
Yes,
so
again,
the
personnel
levels
are
going
up
by
4.4
million
dollars.
We
have
to
cadet
classes
instead
of
one
and
so
we're
increasing
the
past
the
personnel
capacity
of
the
boston
police
department.
Now
the
conversations
that
we're
having
here
are
based
on
the
budget
hearing
that
we've
already
had
right
so
during
the
boston
police
department's
hearing,
the
superintendent
of
field
services,
when
asked
by
myself
and
other
counselors
where
they
were
cut
in
their
budget,
each
of
them
identified
the
overtime
budget
of
the
place
where
they
would
cut.
H
That
is
what
they
said
here
at
the
hearing,
and
so
this
is
reflective
of
the
boston
police
department's
own
indication
of
where
we
could
basically
find
money
to
fund
this.
He
said
here
at
the
budget
hearing
that
the
overtime
spending
similarly
to
you
was
talking
about
that.
There
were
a
lot
of
events
and
that
the
overtime
spending
is
basically
the
place
where
it
could
come
from.
H
So
one
person
that
was
going
up
were
increasing
capacity
and
two
the
boston
police
department
has
said
that
if
we
were
to
cut
their
budget
that
the
overtime
spending
is
the
place
that
we
would
have
it
they've.
Also,
in
that
same
hearing
failed
to
give
the
city
council
any
information
that
indicated
that
they
were
understaffed.
They
gave
us
the
minimum
staffing
for
each
of
the
district.
They
gave
us
the
numbers
of
the
sworn
officers
that
they
have.
H
We
minus
the
people
who
were
out
because
of
health,
or
they
were
just
on
leave
and
the
number
of
sworn
officers
that
we
have
was
still
over
the
minimum
that
we
needed
for
each
of
the
districts.
So
not
only
do
we
have
enough
police
officers
based
on
the
numbers
that
they
gave
us
here.
We
don't
have
any
information
from
the
boston
police
department
that
we
don't
have
enough
cops.
H
B
I
I
think-
and
I
I
have
said
this
publicly-
I
don't
think
we
have
enough
police
officers
in
the
city
and
I've
referenced
that
by
recently,
19
young
boston,
police
officers
left
the
force
with
only
with
only
a
one
or
two
years
of
service
and
they
left
for
various
reasons.
Some
went
to
the
fire
department,
some
went
to
various
other
cities
or
towns
outside
of
greater
inside
greater
boston
rather
and
then
we're
also
having
a
lot
of
retirements
as
well.
B
I
just
want
to
make
sure-
and
I
know
my
colleagues
agree-
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
have
an
adequate
level
of
manning
of
police
and
in
the
city
and
and
if
I
have
to
disagree
with
the
boston
police,
then
then
I
then
I
think
I
I
do
would
disagree
with
them.
I,
in
my
opinion,
based
on
my
my
experience
as
a
city
councilor
and
as
a
community
leader.
B
I
don't
think
we
have
enough
police
officers
in
the
city
and
that's
based
on
going
to
community
meetings
every
night
in
the
south
end
in
chinatown
in
south
boston,
especially
in
the
south
end.
They
ask
me
council
flynn,
we
need
more
police
in
various
neighborhoods
in
the
south
end
peter's
park
or
or
tremont
street
or
columbus
avenue.
H
And
just
to
be
clear,
president
flynn,
the
boston
police
department
does
not
think
that
they
have
enough
police
officers,
but
it
is
the
boston
police
department's
job
to
justify
that
to
the
city
council
during
their
budget
hearings,
and
so
my
what
I
was.
What
I
was
saying
is
that
the
boston
police
department
did
not
give
us
that
justification
so
based
on
the
numbers
that
they
submitted
here
and
the
questions
that
they
answered
during
the
budget
hearing,
we
basically
have
no
data
to
show
that
they
are
not
sufficiently
covered.
H
I
do
think
that
if
you
ask
the
boston
police
department's
field
inspector,
they
will
tell
you
that
they
do
not
have
enough
officers,
but
it
is
their
job
to
give
us
the
information
that
we
need
to
make
decisions
and
realistically
they
have
not.
And
so
I
appreciate
the
ex
like
neighborhood
experience,
and
I
know
that
other
counselors
will
say
the
same,
that
they're
hearing
the
same
thing,
but
we
also
know
that
there's
a
management
issue,
and
so
is
it.
Is
it
really
budgetary
and
again
we
are
increasing
their
capacity.
A
Thank
you,
councillor.
Baker.
Final
comment,
council.
Braden,
final
final:
we
are
at
12
o'clock.
I
think
the
points
we've
made
our
points,
clear,
council
baker.
You
have
four.
E
Yeah,
just
to
kind
of
echo
what
what
council
flynn
was
saying
that
and
a
4.4
million
dollar
increase
doesn't
necessarily
mean
more
bodies,
more
uniformed
police
officers,
to
attrition,
I
think,
we're
probably
going
to
lose
more
people
through
retirement
and
leaving
the
the
department
than
the
two
cadet
classes,
the
the
two
cadet
classes
that
are
coming
in
and
we
don't
know
where
we're
gonna
not
have
those
police.
Whether
it's
on
the
events
like
council
flynn
was
talking
about
which
we're
planning
a
lot
more
events.
E
I
was
told
about
closing
down
dot
ave
again
to
just
close
it
down,
for
whatever
reason
I
guess
it's
community
building,
but
that
is
an
overtime
day
and
then
also
to
fill
regular
positions
at
c11,
which
is
my
would
which
would
be
my
home
police
station
when
people
are
out
injured,
when
people
you
know,
maybe
take
a
vacation
day,
it's
overtime.
It's
filling
that
and
that's
why?
E
There's
not
enough
police
there
to
fill
those
the
manning
issues
that
we
have
the
day-to-day,
not
even
getting
into
patriots,
parades,
celtics,
parades
st
patrick's
day
dot
day.
You
know
the
caribbean
festival.
That's
that's
all
over
time
and
I
think
to
say
that
we're
increasing
personnel
with
4.4.4
isn't
the
truth.
It's
the
cost
of
doing
business.
It's
all
going
up.
So
that's
all!
I
just
wanted
to
make
those
points.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
just
I
was
looking
at
the
the
the
document
with
regard
to
reserve
funds
like
it's
a
statutory
obligation
that
we're
required
to
do
two
and
a
half
percent
of
of
the
previous
year's
appropriation,
and
it's
reserved
for
let's
see,
what's
its
reserve
for
extraordinary
and
unforeseen
circumstances.
J
And
you
know,
the
fact
that
it
hasn't
been
dipped
into
in
preceding
years
is
a
blessing,
because
those
extraordinary
and
extreme
circumstances
include
natural
disasters,
hurricanes,
snowmageddons,
all
the
rest
of
it.
So
you
know
that
money
set
aside
as
a
rainy
day
fund
for
emergencies
and
it
shouldn't
be
seen
as
a
as
an
automatic
source
of
in
funds
for
anything
other
than
an
emergency.
J
J
J
A
Finishing
that
yeah.
J
You
know
I'm
learning
as
I
go.
I
really
would
love
to
have
more
information
on
how
this
reserve
fund
is.
It
originated
way
back
in
2000,
2018,
no
1982
or
something
it's
been
on
the
books
for
a
long
time.
It's
a
statue,
statutory
requirement,
but
I
I
just
would
love
to
get
a
better
understanding
on.
You
know
it's
important
to
have
it
there,
but
it's
not
something
that
we
routinely
dip
into
it's.
It's
a
rainy
day
fund.
H
There
were
questions
about
whether
or
not
moving
this
money
from
the
boston
police
department's
budget
would
make
it
so
that
the
police,
overtime,
overage,
would
make
us
dip
into
this
fund,
and
I
presented
these
numbers
to
show
specifically
that
the
chances
of
us
having
to
dip
into
any
fund
because
of
boston
police
over
judges
were
low.
H
So
I
presented
these
numbers
not
because
I
am
requesting
that
we
dip
into
this
account
at
all,
but
to
show
that
we
wouldn't
have
to
based
on
the
financial
history
of
the
city
of
boston
that
there's
more
than
enough
financial
resources
and
every
other
place,
both
with
the
increase
in
the
appropriations
between
april
and
june
and
the
surplus
that
the
city
of
boston
currently
has
to
be
able
to
cover
this
without
actually
dipping
into
the
fund.
So
if
I
can,
do
you
mind
if
I
take
another
minute.
A
I
do
okay.
Thank
you.
I
think
that
we
move
forward.
If
you
got
you,
I
think
the
council
all
have
their
opinions
and
they've
made
up
their
decision.
I
think
you've
made
your
point
very
clear,
counselor
and
you've
made
it
at
least
three
times.
I've
heard
you
loud
and
clear.
If
you
support
this,
if
you
say,
if
you're
going
to
make
a
decision,
make
a
decision,
I've
said
that
we've
belabored
this
point:
we've
taken
about
an
hour
and
a
half
to
discuss
this
point.
A
Council
lara's
amendment
recommendations,
and
at
this
point
we
will
move
forward
to
the
next
step
that
I've
said
at
least
three
times.
I'm
asking
my
counselor
colleagues
to
respect
that.
M
I
M
I
H
I
H
I
A
I
H
H
I
Okay,
I
think
the
chair
currently
has
two
numbers
that
add
up
to
10.
and
the
reason
I'm
asking
this
just
to
be
clear
is
because
I
would
be
prepared
to
support
a
6.9
collective
number.
Yes,
but
I
think
what
currently
is
before
the
chair
is
a
10
or
11
collective
number.
So
that's
why
I'm
pursuing
the
correction,
because
I
would
like
to
be
supportive.
H
Get
the
numbers
but
split
like
do
the
6.9
ultimately
like
knowing
that
it's
the
6.9
not
having
the
bigger
number
so
instead
of
splitting
them
this
way,
because
it
does
bring
us
so
basically
it's
four
point:
twelve
million
and
then
hold
on
and
two
point:
seven
nine
million
yeah
so
that
I
would
support
two
so
yeah,
that's
yeah!
So
let
me
do
this
again.
H
So
2.79
4.12
2.79.
A
C
D
H
H
Why
ee
already
goes
through
that
process
and
they
and
organizations?
So
I've
been
an
executive
director
of
an
organization,
so
I've
been
through
the
process,
and
so
you
apply
to
the
city
of
boston
to
be
an
organization,
and
so
I
think
you
know
we
can
talk
strategy.
I
would
love
to
kind
of
work
with
the
counselors
to
like
get
organizations
to
apply
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff,
but
yee
manages
that
process.
Currently
the
organizations
apply
to
become
youth,
job
services.
H
L
I'll
be
quick,
I
promise
so
I
do.
I
do
appreciate
the
move
to
switch
to
contractual
services.
I
think
that
addresses
a
majority
of
my
concerns
and
I
do
also
you
know
the
4.4
million
in
personnel
that
is
our
cadet
class
and
because
we
do
have
this
increase
in
personnel.
L
A
I
I
A
A
It's
not
a
motion,
I'm
just
going
to
try
to
count
that
we
have
nine
nine
support
so
that
I
can
actually
recommend
it.
I
can't
recommend
it
if
we
know
it.
It's
just
going
to
be
a
waste
of
time.
So
if
we
have
it
it's
one
amendment
so
whatever
you're
suggesting
flaherty
other
colleagues,
it's
going
all
in
one
amendment.
E
C
N
E
A
K
H
You
know
if
the
administration
vetoes
it
so
trying
to
get
like
it's
one
amendment,
and
so
I
I
I
counselor
fernandez
anderson
has
spoken
about
what
she's
looking
for.
For
me,
there
are
other
amendments
that
people
want
like
if
councillor
florida
wants
his
latter
five
and
he
wants
to
take
a
million
dollars
from
bps.
K
K
Five
is
something
that
is
and
you're
coming
from
my
bps
budget
and
I
need
to
you
know
we
need
to
talk
about
those
things,
and
so
you
know
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
same
grace
and
hour
and
a
half
that
we've
just
spent
on
this,
that
we
are
willing
to
go
tit-for-tat
for
all
of
the
things
that
we're
fighting
for
here,
because
y'all
know
that
we
are
we're
a
body
of
a
hole
here
and
I
am
going
to
be
paying
attention.
F
Okay
sounds
like
you're
gonna
be
ordering
for
dinner,
sounds
like
you're
on
the
hook
for
dinner,.
N
Fat
chance,
but
okay
counselor
arroyo.
G
Briefly
on
this
is
process,
not
what
we've
just
discussed,
but
I
think
what
I
understand
from
council
baker's
request
is
when
we
finally
vote
on
this.
It's
not
just
going
to
be
one
amendment
with
25
different
things
or
is
it?
Is
it
going
to
be
one
one,
one,
one
one
one
and
we're
voting
like?
I
think
we
have
56
amendments
in
here,
but
what,
however,
many
you
propose?
Is
it
individually?
G
No,
no
I'm
not
talking
about
right
now,
I'm
talking
about
when
we
actually
vote
to
make
this
real.
So
is
it
going
to
be
like
one
vote?
Every
single
amendment
is
on
a
page
and
you
vote
for
the
whole
page,
or
is
it
one?
Okay?
So
just
one
okay,
that's
good
to
know,
so
you
basically
take
all
of
it
or
you
take
none
of
it.
A
G
I
It's
probably
worth,
I
think,
for
the
record
that
this
is
a
meeting
a
working
session
of
the
council
in
which
the
chair
is
seeking
advisory
opinions
on
what
counselors
might
support
in
a
proper
open
session
of
the
council,
which
would
have
to
happen
at
a
meeting.
And
so
therefore,
the
council
is
not
taking
any
binding
votes
today
and
the
what
the
chair
is
trying
to
think
about
is
the
fact
that
the
easiest
way
and
it's
it's
new
here,
but
it's
standard
in
legislative
bodies
right
across
the
country,
the
easiest
way
to
kind
of
like
package.
I
These
things
on
the
floor
on
our
wednesday
meeting
is
for
the
chair
to
propose
an
omnibus
amendment,
but
the
chair
doesn't
want
to
propose,
as
I
think
she
shouldn't
an
omnibus
amendment
that
doesn't
have
sufficient
collective
support.
So
this
conversation
is
about
is
about
testing
the
waters
right,
and
I
do
think
that
it's
just
important
to
say
that
for
the
record,
because
this
council
is
not
empowered
to
take
binding
votes
in
this
session.
I
So
I
just
think
like
it's,
which,
which
does
mean
like
nobody,
is
taking
a
binding
vote
with
anything
that
they
are
indicating
to
the
chair.
But
I
also
think
that,
in
the
context
in
which
the
chair
is
delegated
with
this
authority
and
has
to
present
a
committee
report
which
is
going
to
contain
proposed
amendments,
it's
reasonable
for
her
to
be
trying
to
seek
a
sense
of
the
meeting.
In
advance
of
that.
Thank.
O
N
Are
we
good
to
go?
This
is
exciting
all
righty.
A
Counselor
we
weren't
doing
names,
we
were
doing
items,
but
we
know
that
council
some
counselors.
If
you
weren't
here-
and
you
missed
what
I
said,
I
was
just
going
to
read
the
description
where
it
was.
Where
would
go
where
it
was
coming
from
and
the
amount
if
the
counselor
that
proposed
it
wants
to
talk,
speak
on
it
they're
welcome
to.
A
If
not
we
say
yes,
move,
move
past
that
next,
okay,
now
as
far
as
what's
on
the
floor
right
now,
what's
on
the
table,
four
million
one
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
come
out
of
bpd
overtime
to
go
to
youth
employment
and
engagement
for
summer
jobs
to
reach
the
goal
of
6
000
summer
jobs
and
increase
wages.
A
A
All
right
moving
on
to
the
next
one,
the
description
is
two
million
seven
hundred
ninety
dollars:
the
idea
to
go
to
y
e
e
year
jobs
to
increase
it
to
1500
school
year
jobs.
Do
you
support
the
idea.
A
A
Go
to
city
clerk
personnel
general
support,
it
would
go
to
city
clerk,
we
want
opinions
about
where
would
come
from.
We
have
not
decided
where
it
would
come
from
you'd
like
to
speak
on
it.
J
Just
source
you.
J
It's
coming
from
the
litigation
program
at
the
law
department.
They
have,
they
had
an
increase
in
their
contractual
services
and
that
that's
where
we
were
going
to
take
it
from.
A
We
all
we
all
support
the
idea,
so
I'm
not
going
to
ask
for
support.
That's
that's
already
done
very
good.
We
need
to
would
would
we
agree
to
take
it
out
of
the
law
department?
That's
the
question.
They
are
getting
an
increase.
There
are
so
many
justifications
and
reasons
why
increases
are
happening.
You
have
them
with
you,
the
packet
that
was
sent
by
the
administration,
but
at
this
point
we're
just
at
you
know
if,
if
that's
a
good
idea.
A
I
I'll
be
honest
with
you,
even
after
reviewing
the
reasons
it
makes
it
even
more
difficult
because
you
still
don't
know
the
domino
effect
that
it
has
in
terms
of
moving
funds
around.
So
let's
be
very
careful
in
terms
of
departments
in
the
city,
and
I
know
that
everyone
here
does
not
want
to
take
money
out
of
personnel,
but
if
there
is
a
significant
increase,
I
can
understand
why
you
would
do
that,
and
I
think
that
law
is
actually
a
part
of
the
report
that
they
sent
back
and
the
impacts
of
other
departments.
A
The
scope
of
work
is
legal
services
for
city-wide
needs
and
impact
to
other
departments,
additional
support
for
public
facilities,
police
department,
public
records
and
mayor's
office
of
housing.
This
is
the
explanation
by
the
administration
and
the
reason
specifically
personnel,
reorganization,
new
advisors
for
the
other
departments,
support
for
public
records
additional
outside
council
services.
M
J
So
the
justification
and
the
human
resources
worked
with
the
law
department
to
conduct
a
comprehensive
markets
study
resulting
in
a
regrading
of
legal
positions
and
a
22
increase
in
the
appropriation
for
personnel
services.
Hopefully,
with
the
increased
in-house
investment,
the
law
department
will
not
need
to
rely
on
contracting
out
for
legal
services
and
that
that
money
from
the
clerk's
office
would
come
from
the
contracting
contractual
services
from
the
the
legal
department
and
the
the
the
legislative
support
program
of
the
clerk's
office
should
increase
by
at
least
one
halter.
J
The
reason
we're
asking
to
is
it's
helpful.
It's
the
the
clerk
staff
have
increased.
Their
work
has
increased
exponentially
over
recent
years,
especially
with
each
ordinance
from
the
city,
council
or
the
mayor
offices,
and
then
also
the
whole
area
of
lobbyist
registration.
So
we've
increased
their
workload
without
increasing
their
their
personnel
in
many
years.
J
So
I
think
it's
just
a
it's
just
a
shift
from
it's
not
a
thousand
miles
away
in
terms
of
the
roles
that
were
being
applied,
but
the
the
this
and
the
law
department
is
proposing
an
increase
of
20.6
for
contractual
services,
with
some
a
total
of
a
million
one
million,
nearly
two
million
dollars.
So
we're
feeling
that
the
deduction
of
80
000
is
a
modest,
a
modest
moving
of
funds
over
to
the
clerk's
office
to
help
them
handle
their
increased
workload.
G
And
just
a
question
for
you:
if
you
have
it
or
the
administration,
if
they
have
it,
it's
my
understanding
that
the
law
department
does
contract
out
a
lot
of
their
cases
for
significant
for
significant
amounts
of
money,
whether
it's
the
report
that
we
just
saw
with
with
the
mission
hill
school
or
other
things,
they
tend
to
contract
out
a
lot
of
their
money,
and
so
I
just
want
to
know
how
much
or
how
often
they
go
over
what
they've
budgeted
contractually
for
that
just
to
sort
of
know
the
butterfly
effect
of
taking
80
thousand
dollars,
because
on
paper
it
sounds
relatively
small.
G
J
I
think,
madam
chair,
I
think
the
issue
is
that
we
have
the
large
numbers
of
their
vacancies,
so
they're
pushed
to
do
contri
to
contract
out
because
they
don't
have
the
personnel
to
do
it
in-house,
but
hopefully,
they've
got
funding
for
those
vacancies.
If
we
fill
those
vacancies,
then
we
shouldn't
be
needing
to
contract
out.
That's
the
rationale.
N
A
We
have
enough
people
here,
we're
just
missing:
miss
coletta
council
coletta.
Can
we
can
we
move
forward
to
support
this
with
nine?
I
Yes,
council
blog,
I'm
sure
I'm
sorry,
I
think
just
the
one
challenge
I'm
having
is.
I
do
think
that,
like
obviously
things
are
going
to
trade
off
against
each
other
in
terms
of
like
where
we,
where
we
think,
there's
money
that
we
can
take
plausibly,
and
so
it's
hard
to
vote
in
a
vacuum
or
not
vote
express
a
sense
in
a
vacuum.
I
A
I
Saying
yeah,
I
understand
the
context
about
the
overall
budget.
What
I'm
saying
is,
let's
say
that
I
think
that
there
is
80
000
to
give
in
the
law
department,
but
the
judgment
about
whether
I
think
that
that
eighty
thousand
dollars
makes
sense
to
go
to
another
position
in
the
clerk's
office
or
like
another
tree
pruner
right
like
at
some
point.
There
are
direct
trade-offs
because
I
wouldn't
necessarily
say
oh
and
then
there's
another
80
and
then
another
80
and
another
80..
I
I
A
The
administration's
response
was
just
that,
like
we
can
have
that
conversation
about
every
single
line
item
we
suggested
I've
done
the
best
that
I've
could,
in
the
last
couple
of
days
to
look
at
areas
where
I
felt
was
less
harmful
or
to
go
into
a
department
right,
and
so
this
is
what
I'm
putting
laying
out
now,
if
you,
if
you
feel
that
you
have
an
input
or
a
better
suggestion,
this
is
a
time
for
you
to
make
that
recommendation.
I
A
So
it's
not
coming,
I
mean
that's
it's
not
it's
not
like
I've,
aggregated,
so
that
I
can
tell
you
exactly
what
is
the
total
that
we're
actually
amending
from
one
department
to
a
separate
different
department
or
what
is
a
total
from
intro
department?
If
that,
if
that's
what
you
want,
like
the
total
number
of,
what's
on
the
table
right
now,
I'm
not
ready
to
do
that,
because
I
have
certain
things
that
were
pending.
I
want
to
read
them
onto
on
record
to
talk
about
the
arpa
things
that
you
concerns
that
we
had.
A
I
A
Yeah,
please
thank
you.
Caso
roya.
G
A
Or
the
same,
if
I,
if
I
feel
look,
this
is
still
a
problem,
I'm
going
to
state
that,
on
the
record,
I'm
going
to
say
this
bfd
suggestion
is
still
unclear.
Gotcha
did
not
find
solutions
between
myself
an
administration
or
myself
and
myself,
and
it's
open
for
discussion.
What
counselor
bach
is
saying
as
the
chair.
What
are
my
recommendations?
I'm
saying
I'm
okay
with
this
suggestion
with
this
particular
gotcha,
okay,.
G
Yes,
which
I
I'm
less
so
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
just
is.
Is
this
the
only
so
more
helpful
to
me
than
a
total
number
is.
This
is
the
only
appropriation
coming
from
say
the
law
department,
because
I
have
to
weigh
how
much
money
am
I
actually
taking
from
the
law
department?
If
I
say
yes,
this
one
sounds
interesting,
but
then
there's
another
one
that
takes
800
000,
and
I
prefer
that
or
I
disagree.
A
G
Able
to
see
it,
it
just
helps
me
yeah.
It
just
helps
me
prioritize
like
if
I'm
going
to
take
a
certain
amount
of
dollars
from
a
department
rather
than
like,
as
we
go
down
the
line
saying
oh
wow,
I
think
I
just
took
a
million
dollars
from
the
department
being
able
to
say
I
would
take
this
if
I
had
to
prioritize
these.
G
So
if
there's
two
or
three
or
four
that
come
from
the
law,
department,
it'd
probably
be
better,
at
least
for
my
thinking,
if
they
come
as
a
whole,
if
they
get
presented
as
a
whole,
so
I
can
basically
say:
okay,
this
one,
no,
because
we're
already
doing
this
one
or
whatever
it
is.
So
I
can
prioritize
that
because
I
don't
want
to
give
false
support
to
things
where
I
say
yes,
I
support
that,
but
I
didn't
know
this
one
was
coming
so
now.
I
can't
support
that
because
I'm
going
to
support
this
one,
okay.
I
C
A
E
I
Of
personal
privilege,
which
is
just
what
does
that
mean,
it
means
it
means
that
I,
as
a
as
a
person
in
the
council,
need
a
favor
which
is
just
to
say
that
I
super
promised
that
I
would
be
at
this
organizational
board
meeting
in
my
district
from
12
to
2.
I
obviously
have
missed
the
first
hour.
I
need
to
go,
make
a
little
section
of
it,
so
I
would
just
ask
if
you
could
not
present
my.
G
Would
make
more
sense
just
for
me
because
I
don't
want
to
give
anybody
like
there's
a
the
total
number
we
take
from
the
department
impacts
that
department,
and
so
it's
better
for
me
to
know
if
I'm
taking
80
000
but
then
there's
another
hundred
thousand
that
comes
on
the
pike
and
I'd
rather
do
that.
But
to
make
that
justifiable,
I'm
not
going
to
do
this.
I
want
to
just
sort
of
know
the
general
scope
of
department
by
department,
so
I
know
exactly
what
I'm
hitting
them
for.
Okay,.
G
And
I
guess
just
to
flag
it
if
any
money
is
going
back
into
that
department
for
some
reason,
if
we're
like
shuffling
shares
like
if
I
take
up
800,
so
let's
say
we
have
180
000
coming
from
the
law
department,
but
somebody
else
put
250
000
back
into
the
law
department,
just
anything
that
relates
to
departments,
I
guess
in
in
a
subtraction
addition
standpoint.
So
I
know
what
we're
talking
about
is
just
very
helpful.
G
A
Council,
brave
is
not
back
so
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
law.
Department
decrease.
A
Is
she
back
all
right?
Thank
you
la
here
we
go,
there's
a
suggestion
to
build
youth
capacity
in
I'm
sorry
to
build
capacity
for
the
youth
council
in
opat
office
of
police
accountability
from
law.
Just
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
go
to
the
youth
council.
G
A
The
opat
department
had
is
is
working
on
a
youth
council.
They
are
interested
in
working
on
independent
of
measures
that
creates
opportunity
or
platforms
for
youth
to
do
more,
inter
interventions
or
crisis
interventions
and
they're
building
that
youth
council
and
they
had
asked
for
a
million
dollar
increase.
I
think
they
got
200
mil
200
000
increase.
M
M
And
then
I'm
open
for
suggestions,
please
you
have
the
you.
Have
the
budget
breakdown
in
front
of
you?
Yes,
counselor
here.
K
Madam
chair,
I'm
just
curious:
would
this
be
to
provide
stipends
to
or
to
build
the
infrastructure?
Could
I
just
how
many
young
people
are
we
looking
to
support?
Do
you
have
any
of
those.
H
I
am
supportive
of
the
recommendation
of
taking
it
out
of
the
law
department
department,
but
I
think
the
hundred
thousand
dollars,
if
they're,
if
they're,
if
they've,
already
received
a
200
000
increase
and
they're
using
the
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
hire
someone.
I
would
probably
reduce
that
if
they're
like
implementing
the
program
searching
for
young
people-
I
don't
I
you
know,
depending
on
the
size
of
the
council,
but
that's
only
in
relation
to
the
200k
that
they've
already
gotten.
So,
if
they're
going
to
use.
H
A
A
Any
other
concerns
or
questions
arroyo
we're
waiting
for
you.
G
Yeah
I
mean
I
I
do
have
questions
mostly
so
it's
180
000
total
two
separate
things.
One
going
to
the
clerk's.
A
A
G
Okay,
and
whose
proposal
is
it
that's,
also
helpful,
okay,
good
to
know
all
right.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
if
there
aren't
any
absolute,
like
restrictions,
we're
adding
that
to
the
amendment.
Okay.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
A
Okay
and
that's
it
for
law,
what's
coming
out
of
law,.
A
There's
a
recommendation
to
allocate
eighty
thousand
dollars
for
the
senior
programming
at
nazaro.
Again,
that's
eighty
thousand
dollars
just
to
move
from
dc
bcyf
to
bcyf
to
the
senior
programming
in
nazar,
yes,
council,
coletta.
L
A
From
bcyf
to
bcyf
intro,
oh
youth
and
senior
programming
at
nizarro.
A
H
No,
I
just
thought
that
we
had
to
vote
on
the
specific
line
item,
but
if
we
only
have
to
vote
on
the
department,
then
I'm
fine.
It's.
A
A
Okay,
that's
that's
the
only
intra
from
bcyf
anyway,
so
we'll
move
on
next
department.
Let's
tackle
arts
and
culture.
A
Yeah
one
item
intro
department:
again
this
is
200
000
in
to
go
to
for
contractual
services
for
the
arts
corridor
in
district
7.
M
M
yeah,
so
like
the
arts
and
culture,
they're
they're,
getting
they
get
into
20
million.
So
then
I'm
saying
okay!
Well,
since
you
want
to
activate
art,
there's
a
project
already
starting
in
d7,
can
you
to
spend
200
000
in
the
first
year
for
the
activation.
M
Thank
you
guys
and
then
that's
it
for
arts
and
culture.
Let's
go
to
anything
else
that
was
recommended
from
bpd,
since
we
already
heard
bpd.
A
A
M
A
M
A
Also,
his
all
right,
fine,
let's
go
to
something
else:
345
000
we're
going
to
go
to
it's
this.
This
one
is
asking
to
for
it
to
remove
some
from
obm
and
some
from
do
it.
M
Supervisor
one
tech
staff,
a
total
of
three
hundred
and
forty
five
thousand
dollars
to
go
to
city
city
council
personnel,
to
create
to
give
us
that
that
those
three
supports
again:
one
budget,
analyst
staff,
one
performance
supervisor
and
one
tech
staff.
M
O
A
O
Something
okay!
Well,
so
the
purpose
of
this
is
because
we
now
have
this
new
power,
but
our
staff-
we
don't
have
enough
staff
really
internally
in
the
city
council,
to
really
help
us
through
this
budget
process.
Michelle
has
been
doing
an
incredible
job,
but
I
think
really
to
be
able
to
lean
into
this
role.
Having
more
support
would
be
great
and
having
that
transfer
from
a
f
makes
sense,
because
it's
about
sharing
power,
sharing
power
between
the
city,
council
and
the
mayor.
O
A
A
Role
so
like
maybe
145
and
then
200,
and
do
it
because
your
the
budget
analyst
makes
sense,
I
think
we
should
take
it
from
obm.
Obm
is
getting
an
increase.
Sorry,
jim
and
the
the
200
can
come
from.
Do
it.
E
O
Yeah
yeah,
and
especially
because,
as
we're
going
into
you
know
what
we
learned
during
covid,
making
sure
that
we're
able
to
continue
having
virtual
options
to
increase
the
capacity
that
it's
not
just
all
falling
on
one
person
so
making
sure
that
we're
putting
out
our
staff
in
capacity
of
city
council.
I
agree
with
those
amendments.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you.
Does
anyone
have
any
opposition.
A
H
I'm
just
trying
to
find
do
it
on
here,
because
I
know
that
one-
the
city
council,
but
also
the
mayor's
office,
is
trying
to
implement
a
lot
of
like
digital
equity
work
and
I'm
not
sure
if
they
got
an
increase
or
not.
So
I
can't
find
it
in
the.
I
can't
find
it
here.
So
not
not
opposition
just
wanted
to
be
clear.
H
Well,
so
I'm
guessing
that
they
didn't
have
a
10
increase
because
they're
not
in
this
document
right,
which
means
that
their
budget
is
the
same
as
last
year.
So
would
this
be
a
budget
cut
for
them.
H
A
O
J
I
have
a
little
reservation
about
taking
funds
from
do
it.
I
do
appreciate
council
louisiana's
suggestion
that
these
staff
positions
are
necessary
and
for
central
staff,
but
in
the
light
of
increasing
threats
of
cyber
on
cyber
security
and
and
then
our
digital
equity
push
across
the
city,
and
I'm
just
wondering
if,
if
there's
anywhere
else
that
we
can
pull
those
funds
from
and
do
it
is
a
it's
a
department.
I'd
like
to
increase
funding
for,
but
that's
by
the
buy.
A
Overall,
the
department
is
getting
a
4.48,
an
increase
of
1
million
1.8
million.
A
J
H
H
And
the
enterprise
applications,
so
their
budget
is
growing
by
four
percent,
but
it
seems
like
the
two
things
that
at
least
I've
heard
from
city
councillors
are
a
priority,
for
us
are
dipping,
which
is
broadband
and
digital
equity.
O
Both
the
things
that
I
support,
this
transfer
here
is
really
thinking
about
supports
that
we
would
need
from
do
it
right,
which
is
why
the
it
would
be
for
supports
for
city
council
that
we
would
otherwise
be
leaning
on
to
it.
For
so
I
want
to
put.
I
want
us
to
put
more
money
into
municipal
broadband,
and
I
want
us
to
put
more
money
into
those.
This
is
just
regarding
the
technology
services
that
we
would
be
leaning
on
and
having
those
in-house
and
city
council
anyways.
So
not
for
you
know
my.
A
A
A
A
E
P
Well,
they
requested
50,
and
then
they
asked
for
75
000
for
another
line
item
which
we're
requesting
for
in
this
amendment
as
well.
Your
suggestion.
E
I
think
so
the
rank
and
file
city
departments,
the
ones
that
are
out
there
doing
our
work,
the
work
that
we
see.
I
think
we
should
leave
them
all
alone.
Public
works
parks,
transportation,
even
isd,
we
need
to
be
investing
in
them.
They're
all
they're,
all
short
staffed
public
health
is,
is
stacking,
the
money
right
now
and
they
also
have
been
the
beneficiary
of
most
of
the
opera
money.
So
just
a
friendly
sort
of
thing.
E
E
A
Yes,
council,
large
there's.
H
A
bureau
in
the
boston,
public
health
commission
of
children
and
families,
but
there's
also
the
emergency
preparedness
bureau,
which
could
be
responsive
to
that
with
a
trauma
response,
team
kind
of
lives
and
so
thinking
about
the
trauma.
Response
team
is
oftentimes
kind
of
responding
to
families
who
have
lost
someone
and
if
they
could
have
resources
to
kind
of
like
connect
like
if
the,
if
the
rfp
could
be
there,
so
that
they
can
give
the
rfp
out
to
the
community
organizations
that
they
can
connect
them
to.
That
would
be
helpful
too.
A
Okay,
if
there
aren't
anything
else
again,
proceeding
with
what
has
been
suggested
to
come
out
of,
do
it.
A
I
don't
have
anything
else
all
right.
We
were
talking
about
bphc
to
bphc.
We
said
yes
to
the
soar
program
right
and
let's
go
continue
on
bphc,
then
bphd,
vphc
ems
supervisor
to
implement
services
to
teach
community
on
first
aid,
and
did
you
want
to
speak
up
on
that.
P
Yeah,
so
this
is
a
effort
called
stop
the
bleed
which
will
educate
our
community
on
cpr
how
to
stop
a
wound.
Also
having
someone
like
the
cso
department
and
police
department
fire
department
to
go
to
our
schools
and
go
to
our
community
meetings
to
just
educate
them
and
try
to
create
that
pipeline
of
new
ems
students
coming
into
the
medic
ems
field.
And
I'm
just
asking
for
another
supervisor
in
the
community
initiative
department
to
increase
the
capacity
and
help
with
outreach
and
training.
A
Okay
and
council
overall
is
just
recommending.
80
000
be
moved
into
your
department
again,
okay,
moving
on.
A
Dphc
to
bphc
counselor
murphy
is
asking
that
bphd
provides
training,
professional
development
or
training
on
how
to
address
mental
health
or
mental
health
intervention
crisis
intervention.
D
D
There
is
an
amount:
how
much
did
we
put
in
80,
000
yeah.
A
E
P
A
G
G
D
G
G
A
It's
a
narrative.
No,
it's
a
narrative,
some
some
some
some
people
were
late
like
everybody
else,
but
it's
a
narrative
suggestion.
It's
just
saying.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
you
prioritize
the
council's
staff
in
providing
this
training.
H
H
They're,
not
they
don't
the
boston
public
health
commission
doesn't
do
over
time
in
that
sense,
and
so
the
if
we
were,
for
example,
contracting
like
the
boston
public
health
commission,
gets
trained
by
somebody
else.
So
we're
bringing
that
person
to
like
train
all
of
our
constituent
services
staff.
Then
there
would
be
a
cost
for
that
training.
But
if
we're
asking
the
bphc
staff
already
to
come
here
and
we're
trying
to
signal
to
them
like
hey,
then
that
number
can
be
anything.
A
Yeah,
but
if
it's
contractual,
which
I
recommend,
because
bphc
does
have
a
hard
time,
building
capacity
with
clinicians
and
it's
easier
to
contract
a
couple
of
people
to
do
this
part-time,
where
you
know,
eighty
thousand
dollars
could
possibly
contract
two
clinicians
to
do
this
on
a
part-time
basis
to
come
in
and
co-facilitate.
Usually,
things
like
this
takes
two
facilitators
yeah
to
co-facilitate
this
type
of
professional
development,
but.
M
H
Two
three-day
training
to
train
our
constituent
services
directors.
Even
if,
if
you
want
to
be
generous,
you
can
say
oh
eight
sessions
or
something
of
like
really
in-depth,
like
if
a
constituent
and
then
counselor
murphy.
Please
correct
me
if
I'm
misinterpreting
what
you're
saying
we
get
a
bunch
of
calls
here,
right,
yeah
we're
responding
to
families.
H
Family
people
die
like
all
of
those
things
in
the
neighborhood,
and
so
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
make
sure
that
our
staff
members
who
are
responding
to
this
right
like
who
are
going
into
the
neighborhoods
responding
to
them,
have
the
proper
training
to
respond
to
our
families
and
our
constituents.
And
so,
if
the
boston
public
health
commission
has
the
capacity
to
give
that
training,
then
they
would
come
we're
asking
them
to
come
to
the
city
council.
Like
you
said
it's
a
narrative.
If
they
do
not
have
the
capacity,
then
this.
D
D
Travel,
that's
not
my
thought
and
if
they're
already
offering
trainings
we
go
to
them.
Yes,
exactly
it
doesn't
have
to
be
specific
that
you
know
we
have
a
special
training.
They
can
share
with
us
the
calendar
of
when
their
trainings
are
offered,
and
we
can
just
make
sure
that
they
allow
our
staff
without
cost
to
our
budgets,
to
sign
up
for
those
trainings
yeah.
So.
M
A
Updated
or
upgraded
or
whatever,
but
if
it's,
if
it's,
if
the
whole
point
is
so
that
our
staff
can
be
okay
right,
that
there
may
be
room
here
to
create
some
sort
of
professional
development
on
a
group
therapeutic
basis
where
people
can
get
together
and
actually
you
know,
treat
like
either
triage
or
get
recommendations
on
how
to
address
how,
when
when
they
are
overwhelmed
emotionally
on
these
issues,
and
we
know
that
our
staff
and
generally
not
just
constituent
service
directors,
but
also
other
staff,
that
they
deal
with
these
stressors
on
a
daily
basis.
A
If
we
could
provide
this
contractor
in
a
way
that
you
know
every
other
week,
there
is
time
allocated
for
folks
to
be
in
a
group
setting
that
is
therapeutic.
It's
self-care!
So.
A
A
A
We
were
on
oh
council
braden.
This
sorry
this
was
already
done.
Isd
was
for
those
of
you
who
missed
it.
Additional
inspectors
on
pest
control,
counselor
friend
braden.
A
I
think
flaherty
like
we
were
all
supporting
moving
it
isd
to
isd,
to
to
prioritize
additional
inspector
for
pest
control,
and
we
already
said
okay
to
that
and
then
the
second
one
was
twelve
thousand
dollars
for
rodent
abatement.
I
stayed
to
isd
as
well
also
council
braiding,
and
we
have
already
said:
okay,
sorry.
A
E
E
E
I'd
like
to
just
make
a
point:
there
isd
raises
about
75
million
dollars
a
year
and
they
don't
get
there,
they
don't
get
their
cut,
but
I
don't
I
mean:
do
we
need
to
cut
something
from
their
budget
and
move
it
and
they
should
be
able
to.
We
should
be
able
to
say,
okay,
add
125
000
in
there
10
000
per
you
know:
130
000,
10,
000
per
district
or
whatever
you
know
without
having
to
take
it
from
here
to
move
it
to
there.
J
A
A
N
J
J
A
Recommendation
was
that
it
would
come
out
of
just
moving
it
around
just
reallocating
iced
tea
to
isd
120
000.
E
J
N
J
J
Questions
now
it
was
city-wide.
Okay,
okay,
you
know
a
lot
of
our
a
lot
of
the
beatings
requ.
You
know,
contractors
and
developers.
Contractors
are
supposed
to
do
a
lot
of
the
beating
yeah,
we're
we're
the
beating
the
city
does
is,
is
beating
on
on
on
storm
drains
and
sewers,
and
things
like
that.
Just
it's
it's!
It's
not
we're
not
going
around
the
city.
Beating
everybody's
house.
L
Sure
so
somebody
mentioned
dry
ice.
I
just
think
we
all
need
to
realize
that
there's
one
company
that
does
dry
ice
across
we
have.
L
A
G
So,
just
to
touch
on
one
quick
thing
that
counselor
baker
brought
up,
which
I
agree
with,
but
is
unfortunately
not
what
we
have
for
folks
who
are
watching.
Unfortunately,
because
the
mayor
sets
the
budget
and
the
way
that
the
amendment
was
written
is
we
can't
go
over
it
every
every
increase
we
make.
We
have
to
take
something
which
is,
I
don't
know,
any
other
legislative
body
who
has
to
do
that
frankly,
so
that
that's
pretty
awful,
but
in
terms
of
the
pest
control
problem.
This
is
an
issue
even
in
my
district.
G
I
think
it's
an
issue
that
shows
up
in
in
districts
that
have
had
a
lot
more
development,
so
south
boston,
austin
brighton,
as
the
development
happens
as
these
nests
come
out.
This
is
the
council
of
braden
and
I'm
not
sure
she
knows
off
the
top
of
her
head,
because
you
said
they
are
hiring
an
additional
person.
G
J
J
I
think,
given
the
scale
of
the
problem
that
we're
facing
like
we
hear
a
perennial
problem
with
our
rodent
control
issues,
it
doesn't
seem
unreasonable,
but
I
was
focused
primarily
on
materials
and
and
also
you
know
if
it's,
if
there's
five
people
and
adding
another
one,
is
a
20
increase
in
their
ftes.
J
So
that's
it
in
theory,
you,
I
don't
want
to
be
again
we're
back
to
that
old
bone
of
you
know
we
we
we
appropriate
funds
for
for
extra
staff,
but
then
we
can't
recruit
them
and
the
money
is
left
there,
not
unused.
So
that's
that's
always
the
question
as
well.
J
E
To
follow
up
on
council
coletta's
discussion
and
I've
been
listening
to
it
for
for
a
couple
years,
is
things
that
we
have
to
contract
out
for
that
there's
only
a
single
company
that
does
it
painting
lines
that
our
our
crosswalks
are.
One
of
those
one
of
those
things
is
very
few
companies
that
do
it.
So
I've
been
saying
to
the
previous
administration
the
administration
before
that.
E
Well,
then,
why
aren't
we
buying
those
machines
and
training
those
people
if
we're
experiencing
an
enormous
uptick
in
rats
and
there's
only
one
company
that
does
it
with
with
dry
ice
and
we've
established
that
that's
the
most
effective
way
to
do
it?
Why
aren't
we
training
our
people
up
in
in
how
to
get
in
there
with
dry
ice
and
do
what's
the
most
effective
treatment,
just
a
thought
to
complicate
it
a
little
bit,
but
that's
where
we
should
be
thinking?
How
are
we
building
city
services
with
this
money
that
we're
shuffling
around
and
again?
E
I
wish
we
did
this
with
oppa,
so
we
could
be
building
city
services
and
in
our
input
on
how
the
departments
are
going
to
interact.
So
this
here,
although
good
we're
kind
of
coming
at
it
as
from
it
in
a
very
disjointed
way,
12
000.
How
do
we
come
up
with
that?
We
should
have
more
employees.
We
should
have
people
that
could
be
able
to
go
into
the
holes
and
and
do
the
dry
ice
again,
sorry
to
digress
a
little
bit.
E
J
A
No,
no,
it's
fine
we're
just
talking
about
a
small
amount.
The
only
thing
we
said
is
the
additional
inspector
for
pest
control.
We
asked
for
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
We've
already
moved
for
pasta
that
was
iced
iced
tea,
just
saying
prioritize
pest
controls,
because
that's
a
thing
and
then
we
said
wrote
an
abatement.
A
E
J
Line
item
for
supplies:
this
is
the
line
item
for
supplies
and
materials
for
isd
field
services.
So
what
we're
talking
about
is
34
450
and
my
proposal
was
to
increase
it
by
an
in
35
percent
increase
in
that
sum,
and
by
the
addition
of
another
twelve
thousand
dollars,
I
think
twelve
thousand
dollars
a
thirty
five
percent
increase
seems
reasonable
and
that's
for
across
the
city.
J
That's
what
they
you
know.
The
budget
book
doesn't
go
into
that
sort
of
detail,
but
that's.
A
A
Okay,
the
next
one
pokies
13
hokies,
I'm
gonna
read
what
the
where
they're
going.
We
had
said
two
in
allston
brighton,
two
in
chinatown,
two
in
east
boston,
two
in
d4,
two
in
roxbury,
two
in
fenway
mission,
hill,
beacon,
hill
and
south
end
and
two
city
wide.
I
didn't
see
any
for
dorchester.
A
E
M
That
doesn't
nothing
to
do
with
me.
So
two
in.
M
A
So
and
then
counselor
this
was
a
box
console
box,
a
recommendation
for
it
to
come
out
of
the
boston
fire
department
and
spend
funds
and
there's
a
lot
of
those
so
we're
gonna
table
it
to
discuss
it
later.
Fair,
all
right
since
council
bach
is
not
here
all
right:
council
flaherty,
you,
we,
we
we
every
everyone,
not
just
council,
flaherty
everyone,
but
recommended
by
council
flaherty
car
five
and
ladder
13
a
million
dollars
to
go
to
boston
fire
department.
F
F
There
should
be
very
rare
circumstances
by
which
we
assign
or
farm
out
or
engage
outside
council
seems
like
we're
a
little
trigger
happy
on
outside
council
upstairs
when
we
should
really
have
our
own
team
of
lawyers,
which
we
do,
they
should
be
lawyering
upstairs
for
the
people
of
boston
instead
of
calling
up
someone
that
they
know
that
works
at
a
firm
asking
them
to
handle
something
again,
very
rare
and
very
specific
instances
where
it's
a
niche,
that
we
don't
have
an
area
of
expertise,
but
general
liability
is
as
simple
as
it
gets
in
the
practice
of
law,
and
so
I
would
suggest
that
we
curtail
our
outside
legal
spending
across
the
board
on
all
of
our
departments.
F
L
F
And
I
would
also
I
would
offer
I
raised
the
outside
council
waste
for
us
before
our
colleagues
did
that,
but
I
could
also
recognize
the
fact
that
we
would
expand
our
meter
maids
and
allow
them
to
work
later
into
the
evening
as
well
as
including
weekend
shifts.
We
would
raise
significant
revenue
to
offset
any
expenses
incurred
by
adding
car
5
car
9
tree
pruning,
rodent
control.
F
There's
a
there's,
some
low
hanging
fruit
there
in
addition
to
the
services
and
the
fees
and
fines
that
are
levied
over
inspection
service
and
code
enforcement.
So
we
need
to
do
better
enough.
We
didn't
need
to
do
a
better
job
of
harnessing
those
revenue,
generators
that
that
we
don't
so
allowing
our
media
maids
to
have
a
shift
that
goes
beyond
8
pm
to
say,
10
or
11,
and
allowing
them
to
to
work
on
the
weekends.
If
they
you
know,
if
we
have
a
shift,
we
would
raise
millions
of
dollars.
F
I
mean
you
think
about
our
business
district
and
particularly
around
the
south
boston
waterfront.
There's,
no
reason
why
those
meters
can't
go
beyond
eight
o'clock,
particularly
in
our
entertainment
district
as
well.
Our
theaters
restaurants
are
downtown
over
and
around
back
bay
newbury
street.
No
reason
why
those
meters
cannot
run
past
8
p.m
and
again,
that's
the
workers
themselves
that
they
would
have
to
bid
a
shift
right.
So
you
could
have
a
shift
that
goes
until
11
o'clock.
F
That
might
be
a
great
opportunity
for
someone,
as
well
as
on
the
weekends,
to
go
past
eight
and
to
go
on
sundays,
particularly
in
thickly
populated
neighborhoods.
Residential
parking,
arguably
is
ignored
from
saturday
afternoon
literally
until
monday
morning.
F
So
when
folks
can't
find
a
place
to
park
in
their
own
neighborhood,
it's
because
of
overnight
guests,
arguably
most
of
them
from
out
of
town.
They
know
that
the
city
does
not
enforce
resident
parking
on
the
weekends
again
adding
a
a
weekend.
A
weekend.
Crew
provide
overtime
or
a
new
shift
for
folks
put
people
to
work,
novel
idea,
but
we
pay
they
pay
for
themselves,
meet
a
maze,
pay
for
themselves,
inspection
services,
as
council
baker
referenced.
F
They
paid
themselves
and
again
to
that
point
isd
they
they
raised
tremendous
amount
of
revenue
and
they
don't
even
use
a
fraction
of
it.
Yet
we
continue
by
ordinance,
dump
more
on
their
plate.
You
know,
so
it's
because
there
needs
to
be
a
fairer
sort
of
distribution,
so
we
would
come
up
with
a
million
dollars.
It
could
be,
I
guess,
a
number
of
different
factors
outside
council
spending
and
putting
pressure
on
btd
to
expand
the
the
media,
the
enforcement
division
into
the
night
and
weekends.
F
Don't
even
get
me
started
on
the
towing.
We
also
farm
out
our
towing
to
the
tune
of
what
it
costs
to
get
towed
when
we
have
our
own
city,
tow
vehicles
and
tow
force
that
we
could
also
employ
too.
A
Thank
you
so
much.
I
appreciate
the
alternative
suggestions.
Let's,
let's
stick
to
the
numbers
that
are
before
us
right
now
and
what
we
can
work
with.
If
anyone
has
a
suggestion,
please
now
is
your
time
to
speak
or
an
objection.
A
F
F
So
if
we
want
to
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is,
with
respect
to
you
know
having
our
departments
and
our
city
leaders
look
like
the
face
of
the
city,
I
could
make
no
stronger
argument
and
we
missed
the
window
here,
because
the
individuals
who
are
positioned
to
to
slot
into
those
spots
the
civil
service
list,
the
current
scores,
die,
I
believe,
within
the
next
month
or
so,
and
then.
Therefore,
competition
starts
all
over
again
and
we
lose.
A
Their
numbers
are
like
significantly
high
and
I
guess
I
wonder
why
they're
getting
an
increase
of
a
million
about
a
million
dollars.
F
And
again,
if
we
were
thinking
sort
of
strategically
inspired
about
this
council
baker
several
years
ago,
talked
about
our
municipal
parking
lots
as
well
as
our
libraries
and
community
centers,
having
capacity
either
to
have
parking
in
our
local
business
districts
and
or
increasing
housing
in
business
opportunities
on
either
the
lower
levels
or
the
upper
levels
of
those
of
buildings.
In
exchange
for
whether
it's
rent
or
parking
fees
again
great
idea
that
we
should
continue
to
explore
to
generate
additional
revenue
for
our
city.
F
We
probably
want
to
do
an
audit
as
to
which
city
employees,
I
I
guess,
get
to
are
allowed
to
take
their
vehicle
home
and
which
ones
really
shouldn't
and
either
take
public
transportation,
buy
an
electric
bike
I'll
give
you
a
ride
in
one
of
my
five
cars
etc,
but
there's
a
significant
number
of
city
employees
across
the
board
that
take
their
vehicle
home,
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
maybe
take
another
look
at
that,
particularly
given
fuel
prices
at
the
pump,
as
well
as
the
cost
of
maintenance
and
repair
to
the
tune
of
who
knows
what
that
number
is.
A
For
the
sake
of
us
moving
forward
in
this
amendment,
I
I
would
like
to
work
with
numbers
that
we
have
currently
proposed
in
the
budget
or
the
administration
has
proposed
in
a
budget.
O
The
objection
just
the
library
was
here
yesterday
and
they
were
talking
about
all
the
work
that
they
need
to
do
around
continuing
to
make
making
sure
that
our
libraries
are
secure,
making
sure
that
we're
doing
the
work
around
civic
engagement
around
racial
equity.
So
unless,
without
more
information,
I
wouldn't
want
to
take
money
from
our
libraries.
A
That
we
take
money
out
of
bps
administration
and
or
contractor,
and
we
can't
do
that.
So
I'm
still
I'm
open,
I'm
still
open
for
suggestions.
F
And
if
it
gets
to
a
situation
where
we
can
sort
of
maybe
put
that
off
to
the
side
in
light
of
not
actually
knowing
whether
or
not
it's
a
million
dollars,
it
could
be
less
and
we're
also
factoring
in
a
recent
announcement
of
two
possibly
three
retirements.
F
F
So
as
a
matter
of
basic
fairness,
maybe
we
get
someone
from
the
administration
or
you
know
connie
connie
wong
from
bfd
to
maybe
give
us
an
exact
dollar
amount,
so
it
one
million
may
be
inflated.
I
think
we're
basing
1
million
for
car
5
on
the
number
for
car
10
and
it's
really
not
apples
to
apples,
because
we
are
at
least
two
possibly
three
retirements
that
may
get
absorbed
within
that.
F
So
that
would
offer
that
if
it's
a
concept
than
an
idea
that
people
support-
and
we
just
haven't
agreed
on-
where
we're
going
to
take
the
funding
from
it-
might
be
helpful
if
we
identify
what
the
exact
cost
of
car
5
and
ladder
13
would
be,
and
then
we
can
go
at
it
from
that
point,
we
may
be
able
to
get
it
in
some
of
the
some
of
the
ideas
that
have
just
been
talked
about.
A
Okay,
we'll
come
back
to
that,
we'll
go
on
to
the
things
that
I
think
we
can
move
forward
with
a
suggestion
for
historic
preservation
to
historic
preservation,
150
000,
to
go
to
preserving
a
historic
museum
in
historic
arts
museum
in
roxbury.
A
A
I'm
just
creating
a
line
item
to
say
that
they
created
our
fee
for
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
preserve
a
historic
arts
museum
in
roxbury.
A
E
J
B
Thank
you.
I
just
had
a
a
quick
question
or
a
comment.
I
don't
know
if
you
you
may
want
to
weigh
in
on
council
flaherty,
do
we
know,
does
the
city
buy
when
they
fill
up
for
gas?
Is
there
a
central
location
for
city
vehicles?
B
B
The
reason
I
ask
is
is
maybe,
if
the
city
departments
kind
of
pulled
together
and
went
to
one
or
a
couple
of
different
locations,
maybe
it
might
be
an
opportunity
for
the
city
of
boston
to
save
some
money,
but
just
something
just
something
to
think
about.
I
know,
obviously
with
the
price
of
gas
and
it's
a
discussion
we
just
had
so
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
in
the
conversation.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank.
A
You
council
flynn,
just
to
close
out
what's
on
the
table
right
now.
There's
a
new
office
of
office
of
historic
preservation
and
historic
preservation
is
getting
1.2
million,
one
million
two
hundred
and
fifty
two
thousand
five
hundred
and
twenty
three
dollars,
and
this
is
brand
new,
I'm
just
suggesting
that
150
000
of
that
gets
put
into
an
rfp
to
preserve
a
historic
art
museum
in
roxbury.
A
E
E
A
Right
because
I
don't
oversee
cover
recovery
committee,
so
I
think
I
would
have
done
it
like
that,
where
it's
a
negotiation,
if
we're
voting
down
the
mayor's.
M
This
process
in
that
committee,
that's
up
to
the
chair,
who
is
not
here
right
now
to
answer,
but
I
think
we
can
definitely
suggest
it
to
the
chair
council
bach
to
create
this
process.
K
K
We
really
have
a
voice
and
if
it's
one
time
and
there's
going
to
be
lots
of
things
that
we're
asking
for
within
the
operating
budget,
it
just
feels
like
the
hunger
games
like
we
have
we're
having
to
fight
within
the
little
crumbs
that
we
have
when
there's
like
all
of
this
other
money
that
we
can
also
tap
into.
So
I
would
like
to
go
on
the
record
and
also
suggest
that
the
chair
of
that
committee
revises
the
way
she's
doing
business
so
that
we
can
also
feel
heard
in
that
space.
I'm.
A
Happy
to
bring
up
this
point
again
because
there
are
a
lot
other
ideas
that
the
chair
herself
in
the
last
working
session
suggested
that
they
were
opera
request,
our
per
request.
I
heard
that
a
lot
arpa
arfa
arpa.
So
if
that's
the
case,
then
I'm
happy
to
open
up
that
conversation
when
she
returns
for
now.
I'm
saying
that
I've
asked
for
this
specifically-
and
I
was
told
no,
and
so
I'm
asking
that
this
gets
allocated,
because
there
is
a
new
office
of
historic
preservation
and
getting
1.2
million.
A
I'm
asking
that
that
office
allocates
to
a
grant
for
historic
preservation
as
what
the
office
is
supposed
to
do
just
150
000
to
repair,
because
roxbury
does
not
get
historic
preservations.
Typically,
we
what
we
get
are
crumbs.
We
were
in
the
historic
preservation
hearing
where
we,
or
at
least
when
they
came
as
panelists,
and
we
heard
we
heard
people
say
that
you
know
roxbury
and
dorchester.
Mattapan
didn't
want
fancy
things
and
we
do.
We
want
fancy
things,
so
I
am
trying
to
set
precedence.
A
I
was
told
no,
I
went
to
and
I
asked
hey:
can
I
get
this
for
this
museum?
That's
falling
apart
that
volunteers.
They
have
volunteers
working
there
every
day
for
free
cleaning,
it
up
doing
patchwork,
fixing
up
the
big.
It's
called
the
big
head
museum.
You
guys
know
where
it
is
fixing
it
up
doing
tours
art
people
coming
into
that
out
of
the
museum
all
the
time
it's
used,
but.
M
M
E
Combining
things
waters
waters
it
down
in
in
and
there's
been
a
whole
budget
put
together
now
and
we're
supposed
to
vote
on
350
million
all
in
one
piece.
I
think,
if
that's
the
way
it's
going
to
move
forward,
not
totally
sure
on
it,
but
that
that's
a
lot
to
vote
on.
If
we,
if
we
fight
over
or
bandy
around
every
year
in
the
city
budget,
it's
you
got
250
million
or
whatever
that's
that
we
can
move
around
and
in
this
one-time
opportunity,
800
million
through
here
and
we
haven't
really
been
asked
our
opinion
on
it.
E
A
The
reason
why
the
reason
I
was
yes
and
we,
let's
again,
let's
hold
that
conversation
when
the
chair
returns.
A
The
reason
why
I'm
asking
for
it
as
well
is
because
I
was
told
that
because
it
can't
be
like
sustainable
like
every
year,
giving
money
to
a
non-profit
to
fix
this,
to
preserve
this
historic
site
that
they
couldn't
do
it,
because
arpa
says
that
it
has
to
be
sustainable,
and
so
I
was
given
that
reason.
That's
why
I
asked
in
here.
E
So
that's
a
reit.
Can
I
continue
to
talk
here,
we're
a
little
off
subject.
That's
the
same
reason
I
talk
about
with
the
free
busing.
It's
not
it!
That's
not
a
one-time
thing.
I
would
argue
if
I
were
you
that
a
repair
that's
going
to
going
to
stop
the
water
from
coming
in
a
building.
A
one-time
repair
is
a
one-time
expense.
It's
not
that's.
Not
operating,
repairing
in
expense
repair
is
different
from
operating
expenses.
Can
I
make
one
more
point.
A
To
start
eating
my
hands:
can
I
guess
before
I
go
before
we
go,
I
guess:
can
we
raise
hand
if
we're
gonna
move
this?
If,
if
not,
can
we
raise
our
hand,
we're
gonna
move
it?
Let's
count
the
nine
okay,
we
have
nine.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
lunch
we'll
recess
and
return.
How
much
time
do
we
need.
