Dockets #04800 -0486 - Fiscal Year 2023 Budget
Held on June 7, 2022
A
B
B
A
Let's
go
all
right,
we're
back
in
section
we
were
talking
about
hokies
and
we
added
two
more,
but
we
are
not
final
on
the
bfd
stuff
and
there's
a
lot
of
bfd
stuff
that
the
counselors,
mostly
council
bach,
has
suggested
unused
funds
from
boston
fire
department.
A
So
we're
going
to
go
to
councillor
lujan
suggestions
that
changes
things
a
little
bit
from
addressing
only
departments
we're
just
trying
to
get
counselors
that
have
to
leave
early
out
of
the
way
council
flaherty
had
his
thing
on
the
floor
too.
We
still
haven't
figured
out
where
to
get
the
million
dollars
for
council
flaherty.
Just
to
be
clear,
we
cannot
actually
take
money
out
of
bps.
A
D
We
we
don't
know
the
actual
dollar
amount,
we
sort
of
just
sort
of
forecasted:
a
million
based
on
car
10,
but
based
on
two,
possibly
three
retirements
that
number's
going
to
change
it's
going
to
go
down.
I
just
don't
know
what
that
number
is,
and
so,
if
we
want
an
accurate
accounting,
we'll
probably
have
to
reach
out
to
bfd
or
carney
connie
warren.
A
A
Counselor,
let's
just
buy:
where
can
I
find
your
stuff.
A
Okay,
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
build
capacity
in
office
of
returning
citizens
coming
out
of
bpd
overtime.
A
This
will
be
the
second
to
last
bpd
over
time
suggestion
the
second
one,
so
an
additional,
an
addition
of
1
million.
What
is
it?
800,
80
000,
the
80
coming
from
council
braiding
suggestions,
two
crosswalks
for
winship.
E
Not
crosswalks
crossing
guards.
E
A
Stress
that
then,
at
this
point
at
this
time,
so
it's
bpd
to
bpd
but
right
and
so
eighty
thousand
dollars
for
two
crossing
guards
for
worship.
Sorry
guys,
I
don't
have
my
glasses
today.
Thank
you,
council
braden,
for
the
correction.
So
are
we
okay
with
just
moving
things
around
bpd
to
bpd?
A
A
Fantastic,
I
got
it
and
then
the
other
one
is
the
800
000
suggest
suggestion
to
build
capacity
in
the
office
of
returning
citizens
from
boston
police
department
over
time
to
again
office
of
returning
citizens.
A
Can
we,
if
you
support
it
already,
let
me
see
your
hands.
F
A
One
two
three
four:
five:
six:
seven,
oh
seven,
eight
and
then
nine
he's.
B
Yeah,
my
question
is
so:
if
we,
if
we're
advocating
to
take
money
out
of
them-
and
I
know
you
probably
went
through
this-
and
I
apologize-
if
I
wasn't
paying
attention
at
that
time-
but
taking
money
out
of
the
overtime
budget,
we
take
it
out
if
they
need
it
at
some
point,
it
still
goes
in
there.
So
how
do
you
address
that?
Where?
Where
will
that
money?
Now
that
is
overtime
money?
Where
is
that
coming
from.
G
A
Sorry,
yeah
counselor
baker
and
counselor
lara.
Would
you
like
to
address
claire
any
clarifications
on
the
record?
Please
you
all
set.
G
Yes,
as
was
discussed
earlier,
when
we
were
discussing
this
with
respect
to
youth
jobs,
we
are
statutorily
required
to
pay
for
overtime,
and
so
what
we're
hoping
to
do
is
do
some
behavior
shifting
here
mbpd
came
before
the
city
council.
They
said
that
they
continue
to
put
more
efficiencies
in
place
to
reduce
overtime,
and
that
includes
increasing
the
medical
triage
unit
and
clinicians
to
connect
more
regular
health
screenings
of
officers
out
on
injury
leave
to
get
them
back
to
work
quickly
and
involuntarily
retiring
officers
who
have
been
out
injured
for
over
two
years.
G
So
I
believe,
bpd's
commitment
to
reducing
overtime,
and
I
believe
that
we
have
a
role
here
to
support
an
office
that
we've
created,
but
never
really
supported.
There's
a
direct
connection
here
to
making
sure
that
we
are
supporting
those
who
are
coming
home
with
the
resources
and
building
out
an
office.
G
That's
partnering
with
community-based
organizations
that
a
lot
of
us
heard
from
yesterday,
even
we've
been
hearing
from
them
a
lot
that
are
doing
the
work
when
it
comes
to
housing
when
it
comes
to
mental
health,
and
this
800
000
will
really
help
support
that
which
reduces
recidivism
and
and
offer
a
soft
landing
to
our
folks
coming
home
and
to
those
who
are
formerly
incarcerated.
A
And
I
know
that
they
were
supportive
of
this
program
as
well,
as
I
think
that
we
are
at
about.
Let's
see,
six
seven
eight
and
I
think
that
there
was
al.
It
was
also
expressed
that
the
limit
of
of
shifting
money
from
overtime
was
10
million
like
yep.
Please
do
not
exceed
10
million,
that
we
are
flexible
and
okay
with
10
million.
G
This
is,
I
think
these
are
conversations
that
folks
have
had
about
what
we
could
potentially
be
comfortable
with
when
it
comes
to
considering
how
egregious
it
has
been
that
we
have
consistently
getting
this
wrong
on
the
issue
of
overtime,
and
so
we
are
also
trying
to
with
this
send
signals
of
what
we
want
to
see.
Bpd
do.
A
We're
not
going
to
move
on
because
we
we
are
now
going
to
move
on
because
we've
reached
nine.
The
next
thing
for
counselor
lucian
is
programmatic
support
to
moya
for
the
sorry,
programmatic
support
for
citizenship
day
to
moya
in
the
amount
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
central
fleet.
B
A
A
G
It's
so
because
of
the
pandemic.
We
saw
they.
You
know
there
was
a.
There
was
what
was
budgeted
for
fy,
22
and
what's
projected,
which
is
going
to
come
under,
and
we
think
that,
because
of
you
know,
moving
towards
for
towards
electrification
of
car
of
cars,
there's
also
a
deeper
partnerships
with
madison
park
in
terms
of
repairing
our
vehicles
that
we
could
potentially
see
more
cost
savings
when
it
comes
to
maintaining
ourselves.
A
Okay,
sorry,
let
me
just
click
on
it
and
make
sure
I
have
that
typed
in.
A
A
30.,
we're
clocking,
you
thank
you.
Next,
we
have
for
another
bpd.
A
For
tree
maintenance,
urban
wilds
project
manager,
granted
bgwt
and
tree
pruning
of
for
the
amount
of
726
thousand
to
go
to
parks
from
parks,
personnel
and
environment
contract
rule,
this
would
be
again
in
the
amount
of
726
thousand
dollars
to
come
from
bpd
over
time.
A
Ot
to
sorry,
council
bach,
I
I
I
have
you
next.
A
Ot
parks,
personnel
and
environmental,
we
got
a
contractual,
so
we
can
separate
those
amounts.
Council
bach
you
have
the
floor.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Madam
chair,
it
was,
I
think
this
is
based
on
the
proposal
that
I
filed.
Is
that
true,
that's
true
right,
so
I
was
actually
hoping
to
have
that
come
out
of
bp
out
of
a
set
of
specific
bpd
unspent
funds,
not
bpd
overtime
line,
okay,.
H
It's
bpd
on
spendcom,
there
are
contractual
services,
they're
comms
line,
five,
two
one
hundred
which
is
way
under
budget,
and
I
think
just
for
anybody
who
wasn't
at
the
working
session.
It
appears
as
though
the
police
must
have
gotten
a
cheaper
phone
contract
and
not
adjusted
the
line
item
or
something
because
it
was
significantly
under
last
year
and
it's
running
significantly
under
again
this
year.
A
No
problem
can,
can
we
separate
the
amounts
for
contract
and
personnel?
Please
can
you
give
me
those
amounts?
Oh.
H
Yeah
sure
so
for
environment
department
line
303
for
contractual
services,
it
was
just
37
627..
This
was
just
a
small
adjustment.
Thirty,
seven,
thirty,
seven,
six,
two
seven.
H
A
We
had
a
total
of
sorry
a
counselor.
We
had
a
total
of
two
726
thousand.
We
just
deducted
thirty,
seven
thousand
six.
Two
seven.
Can
you
give
me
the
remainder
of
that?
I
can't.
A
Thank
you.
Can
you
show
your
hands
if
you
support
this.
A
No
sorry
there's
two
left.
We
had
already
discussed
600
000
to
blackmail,
advancement,
same
concept,
well,
not
saying,
but
preventative
in
terms
of
preventive
measures.
We
had
already
discussed
it
and
we
tabled
it
and
then
the
next
one
is
parking
enforcement.
But
this
that's
that's
vpd
to
btd.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I'm
going
to
amend
so
this
is
my
amendment
for
two
parking
enforcement
officers
in
east
boston.
I'm
looking
at
the
transportation
department
budget
now
and
they're
actually
decreasing
their
traffic
enforcement
line
item
by
one
percent,
but
increasing
their
traffic
commissioner's
office
by
95
percent.
So
I'm
going
to
pull
from
that
btd
to
btd
btd
btd.
A
A
Right
right,
totally
different
from
the
rest
back
to
blackmail
advancement
again,
it's
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
expand
resources
and
blackmail
advancement
from
bpd
overtime.
A
A
D
B
A
H
Well,
madam
chair,
have
we
have
we
taken
out
of
fire
yet
nope?
I
left
them
for
you,
okay,
and
have
we
and
I'm
sorry
if
I
missed
this,
but
we
haven't
discussed
yet
so
I
know
we
just
discussed
one
of
the
ones
that
I
had.
If
we
discuss
the
others,
we.
A
We
have
not,
we
tabled
it.
Okay,
we
tabled
hokies,
okay,.
H
H
I
mean
yeah,
I
think
I
think
the
place
to
do
it
would
be
inside
of
like
fire.
Lease
purchase
is
way
way
down.
We
talked
about
this
again
at
the
last
working
session,
but
basically-
and
actually
sorry
myself,
oh
yeah-
that
would
be
great.
This
is
the
fire
budget.
H
I
passed
these
out
at
the
last
working
session,
but
just
so
that
everybody
has
a
copy,
so
these
are
stapled,
but
actually
the
best
thing
is
if
you
on,
if
you
pull
them
apart
and
you
put
them
next
to
each
other,
so
basically
what
it
shows
you
is
kind
of
what
the
fire
department's
approved
budget
for
last
year
was
how
they've
moved
their
allocations
around,
but
as
of
mid-april
and
kind
of
what
they've
encumbered
what
they've
expended
their
total
spent
to
4
18
22
the
total
available.
H
Then
it
gives
you
a
kind
of
percentage
of
the
amount
left
just
for
comparison.
The
benchmark
here
would
be.
If
everything
was
running
totally
non-lumpily
to
budget
it
would
be
at
21
and
then
then
it
shows
you
their
fy
23
proposed
budget.
But
basically,
what
I
was
highlighting
is
there's
a
couple
of
places
where
fire
is
hugely
underspending.
H
Its
budget
and
probably
the
biggest
one
and
the
place
to
find
a
million
dollars,
would
be
in
the
lease
purchase
line
where
they
budgeted
at
3.6
they've
already
in
their
internal
budget,
knocked
it
down
another
600
000
that
they
know
they're
not
going
to
spend
and
then
their
actual
expenditure
up
to
up
through
april
was
1.2,
but
even
if
they
kept
going
on
track,
you'd
expect
them
to
end
up
with
more
than
2
million
unspent
here
and
lease
purchase
is
the
type
of
thing
where
I
feel
like
it
shouldn't
be
that
lumpy
for
this
type
of
thing,
because,
as
you
know,
counselor
flaherty,
this
is
not
apparatus.
F
F
H
Seems
like
they
really
do
have
more
in
this
line
item
than
they
need,
so
my
suggestion
would
be
to
move.
You
could
move
a
million
out
of
this
up
into
personnel,
permanent
employees,
51
000,
and
then
you
would
still
have
the
314
that
I
had
proposed
out
of
this
line
for
hokies
and
such
and
also
some
of
the
waste
reduction
work
and
open
streets
work.
H
A
H
Yeah
and
in
fact,
when
you
look
at
the
historical
spending
so
yeah
for
folks
who
look
at
our
capital
budget,
you'll,
see
that
like
engines
and
ladders
and
stuff
are
actually
capital
expenditures
that
we
bond
for,
if
you
look
back
the
bump
in
this
lease
purchase,
spending,
I'm
pretty
sure
was
for
those
washer
dryers.
That,
commissioner
finn
did
remember
because
of
the
concern
about
the
carcinogens
and
everybody's
uniforms.
So
there
was
a
big
bump
to
pay
for
those
washer
dryers
and
all
the
stations,
and
I
think
what
happened.
H
D
A
H
From
where
from
law
department,
so
that's
up
on
the
first
page
of
the
order,
contractual
services,
I
mean
he's
proposing
a
he's
proposing
a
10
cut
to
law
contractual
services.
H
I
think
it's
probably
worth
saying
that
this
council
does
continue
to
be
involved
in
cases
which
send
us
to
the
supreme
court,
a
thing
which
counselor
flaherty
knows.
We
do
in
fact
need
outside
counsel,
for,
but
there's
like
three
in
my
time
on
the
council
but
yeah.
So
it's
a
2.4
million
dollar
line
item,
madam
chair,
which
I
think
he's
proposing
cutting
by
250
000.
A
J
For
one
comment:
please,
of
course-
and
it
may
have
some
relevance
to
the
discussion-
I
know
the
washes
the
washer
and
and
wash
machine
washing
in
the
drying
that
the
hot
that
the
fire
departments
do
washing
washing
the
fire
equipment,
jackets
and
pants.
J
F
A
A
A
A
It's
like
17
I'll
I'll,
take
away
my
80.
delete
it.
K
K
A
A
I'll
pull
it
from
bpd
ot.
If
you
guys
don't
mind,
it's
just
80
000.
How
many
are
we
at
for
bpd,
less
than
about
nine.
A
Would
you
like
to
let
me
just
let
me
just
get
counselor
clutter
out
of
the
way
and
then
your
we'll
just
address
your
things.
Next,
oh
sorry,
mejia!
Then
you
have
oh
great
you're
here
good.
We
don't
want
anybody
to
leave
anyway,
council
coletta.
A
I
Yeah,
so
thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
this
would
be
for
those
of
you
who
weren't
there
during
the
working
session
east
boston,
east
boston,
charlestown
in
the
north
end,
have
a
significant
threat
of
sea
level
rise
in
the
next
couple
of
years.
So
right
now
there
are
parallel
planning
processes
that
are
happening
in
charlestown
and
east
boston,
and
it's
also
been
made
clear
that
it
is
a
priority
from
the
administration
to
have
a
municipal,
harbor
planning
process
in
east
boston
in
particular
right
now.
I
I
It
would
be
director
of
waterfront
planning
or
whomever
under
the
the
cabinet
of
energy,
sorry,
environment,
energy
and
open
space
that
they
could
go
to
and
we
could
sort
of
have.
This
person
lead
this
process,
so
I'm
proposing
150
000
for
this
one
person
to
to
lead
this
charge.
I
I
He
does
do
waterfront
planning,
although
he
is
just
a
staff
member
of
the
bpda
okay.
I
Thinking
this
would
this
individual
would
work
across
departments-
okay,
sorry,
not
across
departments,
but
between
the
energy
environment
and
open
space
cabinet,
as
well
as
the
bbda,
and
bring
everybody
together
and
pull
this
one
planning
process
together.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
okay,.
B
I
I
B
H
H
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
things
we
need
to
iron
out
about
this
process
going
forward,
but
I
also
feel
like
it's
a
piece
of
what
the
administration
can
sort
of
process
and
get
back
to
us
on.
I
mean
you're,
correct
right
that
anything.
Anybody
personnel,
you
really
have
to
add
another
50
to
understand
what
they're
costing
the
city,
however,
because
all
those
pension
and
health
care
costs
are
included
in
separate
lines
like
even
for
the
even
the
city
departments,
just
report
salary
to
us.
B
H
No,
but
opeb
is
yeah,
that's
old
stuff.
This
is
no.
This
isn't.
If
you
get.
If
you
look
in
the
sorry,
the
orders
are
in
the
back
of
the
first
volume
of
the
book.
H
If
anybody
wants
them,
there's
a
line
for
healthcare,
I'm
just
trying
to
find
it
I'll,
find
it
in
a
second
but
basically
there's
a
line
for
healthcare
pension
costs,
and
so
I
feel
like,
as
the
chair
has
referenced
several
times
as
this
process
like
matures
in
the
future,
and
we
both
have
budget
staff
and
whatever
it
seems
like
it
would
make
sense
for
the
administration
to
come
up
with
some
kind
of
pro-rated
number
and
for
the
council
to
know
that
and
for
personnel
changes
to
have
that
baked
in.
But
I
feel
like
we're.
H
Not
we
haven't
done
that
with
any
of
the
personnel
that
anybody's
recommended
and
it's
not
really
how
the
administration
presents
their
own
personnel
numbers.
So
it
feels
like
what
makes
sense
is
to
just
throw
this
across
the
fence
with
the
number
of
what
you're
actually
going
to
pay
them.
Personally,
I
think
it's
closer
to
125
and
150,
but
that's
just
a
comment
and
then
and
then
have
them
kind
of
come
back
to
us.
With
that
conversation.
B
Fair
enough,
so
we're
consistent
in
just
salary,
exactly
yeah
yeah
and
stick
somebody
else
with
the
other
bill.
Kenzie.
I
L
Human
resources,
don't
kill
me
it's
having
a
21
21
increase
as
well
of
1.3
million.
I
saw
the
reasoning
for
it,
so
additional
staff
to
promote
updated
human
services
functions
yes
and
then
there's
the
secondary
line.
That's
funding
for
employee
transportation
options
that
I
don't
know
what
that
means,
and
I
should
I
could
have
asked
on
monday,
but
I
didn't
and
I'm
wondering
if
anybody
here
has
the
answer
to
that,
what
that
means
and
if
it
would
suffer
from
150
000
cut
it's
in
the.
L
My
suggestion
I
I
want
to
suggest
that
we
get
150
000
from
there,
but
I
don't
know
what
funding
for
employee
transportation
options
are,
and
I
don't
want
to
cut
into
it
if
it's
going
to
have
a
negative
like
an
adverse
impact
like
if
it
could,
if
it
would
be
fine
with
150
000
less
than
I
would
suggest
it
from
there.
But
I'm
not.
I
mostly.
The
question
is
for
the
council.
If
anybody
knows,
if
not,
then
I
will
remove
my
suggestion.
The
increase.
I
I
I
think
what
I
need
to
do
is
get
a
better
sense
from
the
administration,
what
they,
what
the
salary
might
be.
I
think
120
is
reasonable
and
then
increasing
it
based
on
healthcare.
So
why
don't
I
pull
this
for
now
I'll
pull
the
amendment
and
just
have
more
conversations.
A
H
Honestly,
I
feel
like
we're
gonna,
have
more
conversations
in
this
process,
so
my
friendly
suggestion
would
be
leave
it
in
pull
it
out
of
this
fire
release,
purchase
line
at
120
or
125,
and
then
we
have
a
conversation
with
the
administration
over
the
next
week
about
what
makes
sense
be
mine,
but
I
do
just
when
I
did
want
to
stay
on
counselor
lara's
point
I
I
would
just
stress
almost
every
hearing
we've
had
obviously
we've
been
frustrated
by
hr
and
hiring
challenges
and
the
need
for
the
administration
new
comp
in
class.
H
I
personally
have
a
lot
of
confidence
in
alex
lawrence
who's,
just
sort
of
taken
over
that
function,
and
so
my
my
gut
feeling
would
be
let
the
office
of
hr
have
what
they
need
to
transform
that
function
in
the
city,
because
all
these
other
functions
that
we
care
about
are
falling
down.
So
that's
just
my
gut
yeah.
H
L
A
I
A
I
F
A
H
G
A
Yeah,
I
think
you're
right,
everybody
was
thinking
that
way.
Council
collateral,
I
have
like
a
500
000
thing
here
with
like
no
notes
from
you.
I
I
think
I
forgot
to
type
in.
Did
you
if
you
forgot
it's
okay,
counsel
me
here
we
are
next.
A
So
a
proposal
of
2.5
million
to
go
from
y-e-e
to
y-e-e,
specifically
creating
a
line
item
for
the
youth
and
college
academic
partnership
to
create
jobs
to
employ
youth
and
college
students.
The
college
students
providing
tutoring
the
high
schoolers
getting
tutoring
to
include
also
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
academic
experiential,
experiential
learning.
C
C
We'll
fall
under
some
advocacy
work
that
she's
doing
we.
We
us
three
me
rorell
and
anderson,
so
I
would
just
like
to
ask
500
000
of
what
they're
proposing
to
fall
underneath
their
line
item.
So
that's
the
way
that
we're
going
to
get
to
that
point.
A
Basically,
that
300,
that
three
million
dollars
of
the
yee
jobs
for
youth
from
I
yeah
is
considered,
is
to
create
this
program
where
they
are
hiring
high
school
students
to
be
tutored,
while
learning
so
working
while
learning
and
then
also
500
000
of
that
to
be
allocated
toward
experiential
community
learning.
So
you
know
outdoor
classroom.
You
know
learn
by
the
beach
math
by
going
to
the
science
museum.
L
L
My
question
my
question
mostly,
is
that
it
sounds
programmatic
and
wondering
if,
like
what
the
I
mean,
I
guess
they'll
just
implement
it.
If
it's
in
the
budget
is
that
your.
L
A
Okay,
we
don't
want
to
move
the
money.
Can
you
please
show
your
hands
if
you
support
it.
H
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
and
I
think
also
thank
you.
The
hearing
order
the
hearing
order,
hopefully,
with
your
support
and
help
and
brains,
we
can
come
up
with
ways
to
partner
with
colleges
to
get
them
to
pay
their
students
to
partner
with
this
program.
A
Next,
we
have
from
economic
development
to
economic
development.
Councilman
here
is
proposing
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
build
capacity
of
a
personnel
that
would
provide
technical
assistance
to
in
order
to
give
immigrant
owned
businesses,
business
owners
access
to
grants.
So.
C
Yeah,
thank
you
chair,
so
just
wanna
that
I
really
do
appreciate
my
colleagues
feedback.
Last
week
I
came
in
with
I
want.
C
What's
this
going
to
look
like
so
in
speaking
with
you
all,
I
have
now
reevaluated
that
ask
and
looking
at
a
full
500
000
and
it
will
be
broken
down
to
two
full-time
staff,
and
this
will
all
be
under
the
office
of
economic
empowerment
instead
of
moya,
which
is
what
initially
we
had
proposed,
because
we
do
know
that
here
in
the
city
of
boston,
we
have
a
high
number
of
immigrant
businesses,
but
many
of
which
struggle
to
navigate
city
services
so
to
allocate
financial
services
and
support
to
help
immigrant
owned
businesses,
navigate
city
services
and
opportunities
is
important
and
then
the
rest
of
that
funding
will
go
towards
providing
grants
and
opportunities
for
technical
assistance,
helping
them
navigate
whether
it's
increasing
their
digital.
C
You
know
platform,
maybe
some
legal
support,
but
what
we
have
come
to
learn
is
that
immigrant
businesses,
it's
not
just
a
matter
of
putting
out
information
in
translation
and
that
they
all
have
access
to
it-
is
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
oftentimes
hold
their
hands
through
the
entire
process
so
that
they
can
be
set
up
for
success.
So
that
is
why
I
am
pushing
for
this
particular
line
item
and
the
budget
to
be
amended.
A
Can
you
please
raise
your
hand
if
you
support
it,
just
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
for
two
staff:
technical
support
staff,
linguistic,
appropriate
technical
assistance
staff
to
provide
access
or
to
give
access
to
immigrant
business
owners
to
access
the
grant
of
the
amount
of
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
So.
C
A
C
I
think
I
did
a
little
bit
of
I.
I
think
the
math
was
200
000
for
staffing
and
300
000
for
capacity
building.
Do
you.
A
C
A
C
A
For
the
rfps
or
grants
sorry.
G
L
C
I
was
originally
saying
two
staff.
A
hundred
thousand
each
but
150
for
once
is
that
75.
F
A
H
A
And
is
it
one
so
150
to
create
two
linguistically
appropriate
texts
with.
A
This
is
gonna
get
harder.
Now,
yes,
michelle,
I
see
you
there.
Can
you
please
make
those
addition
at
the
edits
over
here
too.
Thank
you.
A
tiny
goldberg.
A
All
right,
so
next
we
have
from
moh
to
moh
that
we
move
or
that
we
prioritize
500
000
for
stipends,
for
youth
from
the
ages
of
19
to
24,
for
support
for
housing.
The
exact
amount
for
each
stipend
is
not
specific.
We
haven't
specified
yet
council
mejia.
Did
you
want
to
speak
on
this?
Yes,
all.
C
And
I
think
what
we're
looking
to
ideally
probably
support
at
least
25
of
their
housing
costs,
assuming
that
the
average
rent
right
now
is
at
2500
and
that
total
will
come
out
to
be
600
000
for
housing
costs,
so
we're
pushing
for
500
assuming
attrition
and
different
in-house
and
housing
costs.
So
this
one,
I
think
about
the
fact
that
we
keep
talking
about
supporting
young
people
and
youth
jobs,
but
the
reality
is
that
a
lot
of
young
people
when
they
graduate
from
high
school
and
then
have
to
live
on
their
own.
C
It
becomes
really
difficult
to
stay
here
in
the
city
of
boston.
So
I
am
advocating
for
a
line
item
a
budget
or
amendment
or
somewhere,
somehow
that
we
can
provide
an
allocation
of
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
support
youth
housing
efforts.
Looking
forward
to
the
discussion
figuring
out
how
we
can
make.
C
Some
of
our
most
vulnerable
right,
like
really
being
targeted
to
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
young
people,
absolutely
sore,
even
the
office
of
well.
I
know
that
the
office
of
returning
citizens
has
a
lot
of
advocacy
in
that
front,
but
I
also
think
about
young
people
who
are
aging
out
of
dys
and
young
people
who
are
aging
out
of
foster
care
and
young
people
who
are
graduating
with
a
very
limited
career
path
and
are
struggling
to
make
their
ends
meet.
So
we
have
a
responsibility
if
we're
really
serious
about
reducing.
C
I
see
this
also
as
a
prevention.
You
know
advocacy
effort
here
we
talk
about
public
safety,
you
know
if
young
people
have
a
place
to
live
and
they're
set
up
for
success,
that
I
think
that
this
500
000
investment
is
worth
every
penny
of
it.
L
Sorry
counselor,
thank
you,
I'm
fine
with
supporting
the
measure
and
I'm
also
cons.
I'm
also
thinking
about
some
of
the
other
amendments
that
folks
made
for
housing,
vouchers
and
other
and
those
kind
of
things
and
thinking.
I'm
thinking
in
a
policy
sense
are
those
things
accessible
to
young
people
and,
if
they're
not,
then
what
do
we
need
to
change
to
make
sure
that
a
lot
of
the
investments
that
we're
making
in
housing
now
are
accessible
too
right,
like
I'm
thinking,
I'm
like.
F
F
L
M
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
applaud
you
for
advocating
for
this
vulnerable
age
group,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
make
sure
that
all
of
the
issues
that
the
other
counselors
have
already
raised
about,
making
sure
that
the
resources
we
already
have
are
getting
to
them.
But
I
will
be
there
with
you
for
this
work.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
everyone,
because
this
for
me
is
personal
and
professional,
and
so
you
know
I
know
it's
not
a
lot
of
money.
It's
not
like
millions
of
dollars,
but
like
500
000
for
us
to
be
able
to
invest
and
support
a
lot
of
the
youth.
That
would
be
amazing
and
the
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
start.
C
It's
a
good
place
to
start,
but
to
cancellata's
point
we
created
a
new
line
item
in
the
budget
that
that
that
never
existed,
which
was
jobs
for
19
to
24
year
olds,
because
we
always
focus
on
up
to
18,
but
this
vulnerable
population
always
gets
lost
in
all
policy
conversations.
So
I
think
that
we
have
a
responsibility
and
an
opportunity
to
really
you
know
lean
into
this
age
group
and
really
set
them
up
for
success.
So
thank
you.
C
We
have
a
lot
of
city
employees
here
who
are
literally
living
below
the
poverty
line
and
working
for
the
city,
and
we
have
an
opportunity
to
do
right
by
them
and
help
them
and
we've
seen
it
through
the
rental
relief
fund.
When
we
were
in
crisis,
we
we
figured
out
the
infrastructure
to
support
people
to
be
able
to
deal
with
their
housing
crisis.
We've
seen
it
through
other
programs
that
have
been
created
here
in
the
city
of
boston.
I
do
believe
that
there
is
a
pathway
to
supporting
our
city
employees
with
support
on
housing.
C
We
can't
expect
them
to
live
here
and
work
here
if
they
can't
afford
to
do
that.
So
I
am
really
pushing
us
to
think
about
how
we
can
make
that
happen
here
and
set
the
presidents
that
we
do
care
about
our
municipal
employees
and
we're
going
to
do
whatever
it
takes
to
help
them.
Be
able
to
stay
here
so
looking
forward
to
having
the
conversation
and
suggestions.
L
L
The
mayor
janie
convened
this
group
that
was
basically
having
conversations
about
alternative
to
mental
health
responses
that
don't
require
like
armed
responses
right
so
like,
instead
of
calling
the
boston
police
department
we're
going
to
call
these
folks,
and
so
that
working
group
has
been
working
together
and
they
are
scheduled
to
have
a
recommendation
for
the
mayor's
office
ready
for
september,
and
so
we
were
having
conversations
about,
there's,
not
money
in
the
budget.
L
For
that
conversation
or
there's,
like
a
very
small
amount
on
the
budget
for
that
conversation,
because
they
don't
have
a
recommendation
ready
now,
which
is
when
we're
having
the
budget
conversation,
and
I
know
that
you
also
filed
a
hearing
order
to
have
this
conversation,
and
so
my
suggestion
is
more
about
process.
Like
my
suggestion
is,
do
we
have
the
hearing?
Do
we
hear
from
the
administration?
L
Do
we
create
a
program
like
a
housing
support
program
instead
of
asking
for
a
million
dollars
that
are
going
to
go?
I
mean
it's
from
moh
to
moh,
but
like
suggesting
the
change
from
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
to
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
for
a
program
that
doesn't
exist
and
therefore
the
money
might
not
be
spent
like
how
it
happened
with
the
with
the
other
money
that
we've
had
in
the
line
item,
and
so
I'm
I
will
vote
for
it.
L
If
we
like
you
know
if
everybody
collectively
decides
to
like
yeah
we're
going
to
vote
for
it,
but
I
think
that
it
would
be
a
missed
opportunity
to
actually
like
fund
an
actual
program
that
we
create.
We
go
through
the
hearing
process
with
community
members
and
say
this
is
what
the
city
needs
to
do:
to
support
housing
for
the
employees
of
the
city
of
boston
and
then
fully
fund
that,
instead
of
getting
a
million
dollars
that
will
or
may
or
may
not
get
spent,
because
we
don't
have,
we
haven't
had
a
hearing.
L
A
I
mean,
I
think,
that
the
question
is,
you
know:
can
we
spend
it
in
the
first
year,
say
the
hearing
happen
and
most
likely
we'll
all
support
it,
and
then
we
iron
out
the
actual
logistics.
I
think
that
a
million
dollars
for
municipal
support
or
staff's
support
in
housing
will
be
spent
in
less
than
like
six
months,
but
that's
just
an
opinion.
L
C
I
think
it's
better,
that
we
establish
the
funding
and
use
the
hearing
to
design
a
collaborative
process
of
what
that
looks
like
right,
because
I
think
that
oftentimes
this
whole
notion
of,
like
you,
got
to
work
with
what
you
have
until
you
have
what
you
want,
but
sometimes
what
we
need
we
never
get.
C
A
L
That's
that's
my
my
argument.
My
argument
is,
is
it
worth
put?
You
know
like
that?
We
might
not
spend
it
because
we
had
this.
We
had
the
same.
Like
we
had
the
same
conversation
we
were
like.
Oh,
is
it
worth
me
adding
an
amendment
for
this
thing
for
a
million
dollars
because
you're
going
to
have
a
proposal
ready
in
september
instead
of
like
waiting
until
next
budget
season
and
actually
having
the
budget
ask
reflect
the
proposal.
That's
going
on.
C
A
H
I
get
very
nervous
about
that
because
I
just
feel
like
all
of
those
programs
are
really
robust
and
substantial.
So,
like
I,
I
kind
of
feel.
Similarly-
and
I
know
I
said
this
in
the
last
working
session,
it
seems
to
me,
like
anything,
that's
going
to
seriously
address
municipal
worker
housing
needs.
I
mean
first
of
all,
counselor
louisiana
already
said
this
in
the
last
working
session,
but
a
significant
piece
of
this
puzzle
is
what
counselors
have
referred
to,
which
is
the
fact
that
salaries
have
to
be
higher
right.
H
I
mean
that's
the
easiest
way
to
give
somebody
a
housing.
Stipend
is
to
pay
them
more
money
and
more
the
employer,
and
then
I
think,
like
a
housing
program
is
going
to
have
to
be
specifically
and
naturally
tailored.
We
have
18
000
employees,
so
there's
going
to
have
to
be
some,
and
I
think
what
I
hear
counselor
mahia
really
talking
about-
are
our
lowest
paid
employees
who
are
working
these
multiple
jobs
right.
So
there
is
a
tailoring
intention.
H
A
I'm
just
like
getting
awful
where
you
can
get
it
yeah,
so
console
or
deletion.
F
A
No,
can
we
can
we
move
to
support
or
not
could.
F
B
B
Like
there's
a
lot
of
housing
proposals
here
and
it's
like
a
million
here-
a
million
there
it'd
be
nice
if
we
could
see
them
all
together.
I
think
this
may
be
what
you
were
trying
to
speak
to
and
in
a
way
that
we,
I
think-
and
this
may
be
off
topic-
that
we
help
that
city
worker
is
to
provide
grants
to
buy
homes.
B
You
know
and
not
have
it
be,
because
the
more
we
put
people
in
rentals
that
we're
that
that
we're
supporting
them
in
that
increases
our
budget
out
over
time,
if
we're
supporting
on
the
front
end
for
for
housing
and
again
to
get
back
to
what
a
one
in
all
these
dollars
all
this
paperwork.
What
are
we
building?
Where
are
the
units
we're
building
with
this
money?
So
just
a
couple
comments.
I'm
gonna
support
with
my
hand.
It's
still
up.
B
A
So
yeah,
absolutely
if
we
can
get
one
or
two
final
comments:
counselor
arroyo,
then
counselor.
K
Which,
which
I
think
could
be
helpful-
the
18
000
city
employees
that
we
have
not
all
of
them
have
residential
restricted
like
requirements
right.
So
this
was
specifically
for
folks
who
are
working
a
certain
amount
of
hours
for
the
city
and
have
residential
requirements.
I
think
we
can
narrowly
tailor
it
in
a
way
where
we're
reaching
the
folks
that
we
want,
but
I
also
would
piggyback
with
councillor
louis
jan,
that
paying
people
more
money
is
the
and
counselor
bach
is
the
best
way
to
really
get
after
this.
C
C
I
just
want
to
soak
it
all
in
okay,
but
I'm
not
going
to,
and
so
I
really
do
appreciate
all
of
my
colleagues
feedback.
I
to
be
honest
with
you.
I
just
want
to
make
it
better
for
our
most
vulnerable
city
employees
who
have
dedicated
their
lives
to
the
city
and
I've
actually
met.
Even
on
that
day,
I
came
across
two
employees
who
one
is
still
working
here
and
the
other
one
said
she
said.
C
I
can't
afford
to
live
here,
I'm
anymore,
so
I
had
to
leave
working
for
the
city,
so
I
think
we're
all
on
this
and
so
yeah.
No,
no,
I
hear
that,
but
I
do
believe
that
we
that
we
we
need
to
come
to
some
sort
of
like
either
we
use
the
million
to
increase
pay
or
we
use
the
million
to
help
support
some
of
the
housing.
A
Initiatives,
thank
you,
councilman
mejia,
I'm
sorry,
we
just
I'm
looking
at
time
and
now
my
heart's
beating.
So
can
we
get
a
vote.
I
mean
a
support,
raise
our
hands.
If
we
support
it,
raise
our
hands.
If
we
don't
support
it
and
we're
going
to
wait
until
we
have
the
session,
so
we
can
discuss,
increase
a
pay
or
voucher
program
or
whatever
so
raise
your
hand.
First,
if
you
support
it.
A
Thank
you,
that's
why
we
didn't
need
all
the
fluff,
great
segway,
200
and
200
and
sorry
not
200.
2.5
million
dollars
recommended
for
city
housing,
vouchers
from
council
bach,
council,
louisiana
and
council
will
row,
but
this
is
to
go
to
moh
from
partially
bpd
and
partially
bfd
and
council
bach.
You
have
the
floor
first
to
explain
exact
line
items
where
it's
coming
from.
H
Yeah
sure
so
thank
you,
madam
chair
and
yeah.
If
folks
go
there,
there's
a
second
sheet
that
went
out
that's
sort
of
the
same
thing
as
before,
but
for
bpd,
it's
smaller.
So
I'm
sorry
for
folks
with
eyesight
difficulty,
but
basically
the
proposal
here
is
to
take.
So
again.
If
you
go
under
the
miscellaneous
equipment
line,
I
think
that's!
No!
Sorry!
It's
not
miscellaneous
equipment.
It's
the
least
purchase
line
again
on
police,
the
police,
okay,
yeah.
J
H
The
police
police
first
lease
purchase
line,
which
is
five
five:
four
zero
zero
there.
If
you,
if
you
go
across
what
you
see,
is
that
similarly,
this
is
being
dramatically
underspent.
This
year,
they'd
spent
a
million
by
mid
april,
leaving
more
than
three
million
in
it,
which,
even
if
you
so
basically
we
project
that
it's
going
to
have
quite
a
lot
like
3
million
left
in
it
at
the
kind
of
spend
rate.
H
So
basically,
you
take
1.7
out
of
here
and
then,
if
you
go
back
on
the
fire
spreadsheet
that
I
gave
everybody,
you
get
the
other
400s
out
of
extra
in
the
in
the
miscellaneous
equipment
line
for
fire,
which
is
that
last
line
at
the
bottom
and
then
or
maybe
not
the
last
one
yeah.
It
is
okay
and
then,
and
then
another
400
out
of
the.
H
H
So
the
idea
is
you're,
taking
800
out
of
fire
and
1.7
out
of
police
again
trying
to
use
places
where
we've
got
this
big
padding
in
the
line
item
to
pay
for
the
2.5
and
then
just
the
thing
I'll
say-
and
I
know
other
counselors
will
talk
about
the
merits
of
this
but
like
as
counselor
baker
reference.
There
is
a
lot
of
interest
on
the
advocate
side
in
increasing
the
housing
voucher
program
from
it's
been
at
five,
the
mayor
proposes
to
increase
it
to
7.5.
This
would
increase
it
to
10..
H
I
just
want
to
stress
that
I
think,
as
we've
been
talking
about
other
housing
interests,
that
this
council
has,
whether
it's
returning
citizens
or
like
home
ownership
vouchers
or
the
ability
to
do
more,
like
project-based
vouchers
in
idp
units
and
stuff.
The
nice
thing
about
the
city
voucher
program
is
it
has
this
flexibility
that
the
state
and
federal
doesn't
so?
It
seems
like
an
area
where
there's
an
opportunity
to
solve
a
lot
of
the
challenges
we're
facing
creatively
by
increasing
this
line
item,
and
I
would
love
to
see
that
happen.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
H
Do
you
mind
just
do
you
mind
just
give
me
a
second:
do
you
mind
just
going
to
somebody
else?
Will
I
just
pull
this
because
I
think?
Oh
it's
because
I'm
sorry,
I've
got
the
bpd
matching
with
the
fire,
which
is
why
it's
off
all
right.
Now,
I'm
not,
but
was
it
400
and
400,
so
it's
400
yeah.
So
so
it's
400
and
400
out
of
fire.
H
I
think
it
was
lines
five
to
seven
hundred
and
five
five:
nine,
zero,
zero
and
out
of
on
the
fire
side
and
then
on
bpd
it's
the
least
purchase
line
which
is
five
five,
four
hundred,
but
man,
I'm
sure
I'm
happy
when.
A
Is
miscellaneous
equipment
yeah?
Sorry,
I
missed.
H
The
other
one,
the
other
one,
is
repairs
and
service
to
equipment.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
can
we
raise
our
hand
if
we
support
it?
Oh
sure,
counselor.
B
If
the
police,
if
what
is
the
least
purchase
like
what
are
they
buying
under
the
lease
purchase,
if
it's
down,
what
do
you
say
it's
down?
2.7.
H
Sorry,
I've
got
too
many
sheets
here,
but
but
they
had
about
three
million
unspent.
So
honestly,
it's
so
low
counselor
baker
that
I
assume
this
has
to
be
non-automobile
stuff
for
them.
Just
because,
as
you
know,
they
have
a
lot
of
cars.
Yeah.
B
B
H
Well,
I
think
I
think
my
point
is
more.
Our
default
presumption
as
a
council
is
that
lease
purchase
costs
are
roughly
like
consistent
over
time.
So
with
the,
unless
the
administration
comes
to
us
and
says
we
want
to
lease
purchase
a
bunch
of
like
new
types
of
stuff
right
like
they
did
with
the
washing
machines
you
know,
and
so
they
need
to
increase
this.
B
A
L
You,
madam
chair,
only
two
seconds,
I
just
with
the
permission
of
the
folks
who
submitted
this
amendment,
it's
an
amendment
that
we
kind
of
got
ourselves
whipped
into,
but
I
didn't
submit
it
because
counselor
bach
was
already
doing
this.
Why
would
I
do
the
extra
work?
So,
with
the
permission
of
all
of
you,
I
would
like
to
put
my
name
as
including
this
amendment
because
we
were
like
I
was
like:
can
you
figure
out
where
to
get
this,
so
I
just
want
to
add.
I
want
to
support
it,
but
I
also
want
to
have.
L
A
Want,
if
you
want
your
name
included,
send
me
an
email
of
a
list
of
everything
I
will
put
it
on
record:
okay,
okay,
so
we're
ready
raise
your
hand
if
you
support
it
in
full.
Thank
you.
A
Here
we
go
exciting
stuff
and
waste
reduction.
Don't
forget
that
yes
and
noise
reduction,
okay.
H
Let's
go
and
open
streets,
yes
the
yeah
so,
but
I
think
it's
people
might
have
my
amendment
in
front
of
them,
but
it
actually
got
modified
in
the
conversation,
I
think
with
the
with
the
whole
group.
So
I
don't
know,
madam
chair,
if
you
have
the
updated
number
on
that.
A
H
H
So
I
think
that
was
basically
a
collapse
right
of
a
whole
bunch
of
different
people's
hokies.
Yes,.
H
A
For
the
race
reduction
to
be
cleared
to
178
thousand
and
six
hundred
eighteen
dollars.
H
A
Say
that
again
it's
how
much
waste
reduction
a
hundred
and
seventy
eight
thousand
seventy
thousand
yeah.
So.
H
Yeah,
so
I
guess
I'd
recommend
taking
the
and
madam
chair,
I'm
happy
to
reconcile
notes
with
you
afterwards.
If
that's
okay,.
H
But
I
think
I'd
probably
take
the
the
our
565
as
the
last
thing
out
of
that
fire
lease
purchase
line
and
then
the
178
out
of
this
police
lease
purchase
line.
Just
because
we
sort
of
used
the
extra
and
fire.
A
Okay
moving
forward,
I
literally
like
I,
I
know
we're
doing
this
and
we
I'm
you
know
just
to
remind
you
that
you
don't
actually
have
to
be
here
for
the
rest
of
this,
because
we've
reached
nine
votes,
but
I
just
want
to
go
on
record
and
make
sure
that
we
all
all
on
the
same
page
so
that
it's
it's.
We
know
what
exactly
what
everyone
is
proposing
and
the
other
thing
is
to
the
mission
hill
link
and
council
bloc.
A
I
was
suggesting
that
we
increased
that
to
75
000,
to
reach
roxbury,
to
extend
it
to
roxbury.
Well,.
H
F
A
Okay,
please
can
you
expand
on
expound
on
the
where
you're
taking
it
from
decrease?
A
What
did
we
end
up?
Putting
we
have
it
on
lease
purchase
agreement?
Still,
I
mean
at
least
purchase
still
in
vfd,
okay,.
H
I
think
probably
we
should
move
that
over
to
least
purchase
bpd,
okay,
just
based
on
how
we
loaded
other
things
on
fire,
I
understood
and
yeah
and
just
for
people's
reference.
I
said
this
in
the
working
session
on
thursday,
but
the
mission
hell
link
it's
partially
subsidized
by
the
t,
partially
subsidized
by
local
hospitals,
mainly
the
new
england
baptist,
and
it's
a
shuttle
that
basically
gets
like
mo.
It's
it's
not
exclusively
for
seniors.
H
Anyone
can
ride
the
link,
but
it
is
largely
our
senior
and
disabled
population
in
mission
maine
and
alice
taylor,
and
it
gets
them
up
the
hill
to
the
hospital
and
the
grocery
store.
And
so
it's
a
it's
a
really
vital.
Last
mile
service
for
a
very
steep
kind
of
grade
and
the
city
of
boston
has
recently
been
supporting.
H
We
adjusted
the
we
adjusted
the
route
in
order
to
get
it
all
the
way
to
ruggles
for
folks
and
the
city
just
made
its
first
ever
city
bus
stop
signs
for
the
mission
hill
link,
but
it
is
running
into
challenges
with
inflation
in
terms
of
paying
the
bills.
I
just.
A
Wanted
to
say
that,
of
course,
I'm
in
support
of
it,
but
considering
that
nubian
square
is
sort
of
a
central
location
for
folks
in
a
lot
of
senior
housing,
at
least
two
or
three
in
nubian
square,
one
coming
in
two
now
there.
A
A
Okay,
there
you
go
all
right.
Moving
on
counselor
rural,
there
is
a
proposal
for
125
000
for
home
ownership,
voucher
program,
and
this
is
intra
department
moh
to
moh
council
rel.
Would
you
like
to.
N
Yeah,
this
is
a
very
small
investment
into
promoting
home
ownership.
Here
in
the
city
of
boston,
it's
gonna
be
being
able
to
help
five
families.
I'm
gonna
be
asking
for
five
families
on
operating
another
five
families
through
opera
and
it'll
be
giving
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
per
year.
N
Bha
gave
a
proposal
that
said
that
we
will
be
able
to
increase
a
family's
buying
power
by
a
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
by
giving
them
a
home
ownership
voucher,
which
creates
a
real
opportunity
for
families
to
buy
here
in
boston,
a
lot
of
money
going
into
rentals
to
suggest
the
first
initial
investment
to
see
if
this
home
ownership
voucher
program
can
help
keep
people
into
the
city
of
boston
and
help.
You
know
increase
that
eight
dollar
medium
income,
our
net
worth
that
you
know
black
black
black
residents
are-
are
tagged
with
now.
B
Right,
so
is
that
a
is
that
a
like
a
monthly
rental
voucher
that
can
go
towards
home
ownership?
So
if,
if
the
vouchers
2000
the
thousand
goes
towards
home
ownership.
N
A
H
Council
obama
yeah-
and
I
just
wanted
to
add
for
councillor
baker
that
this
came
about
in
the
context
of
the
conversation
about.
Obviously,
we've
also
talked
about
this
proposal
in
arpa
hearings
and
about
like
a
much
more
substantial
amount
of
money
going
into
this
like
on
the
arpa
side,
but
I
think
counselor
royal
was
making
the
point
of
wanting
like
to
do
some
foothold
in
the
budget.
Yeah.
F
A
N
This
was
bach
and
flaherty.
A
Thank
you,
and
next
we
have
fifty
thousand
dollars
suggestion
to
go
to
esl
classes
contractual
to
go
to
emma,
I'm
sorry
moya
from
vpd
bat
council
operating.
Do
you
want
to
talk
about
that.
E
Madam
chair,
in
our
work
with
the
austin
brighton
adult
education
coalition,
it
became
obvious
last
year
that
the
very
low
level
entry-level
beginning
english
classes
were
not
being
funded
through
monies
from
workforce
development
or
whatever.
So
this
money
will
be
sent
through
english
for
new
bostonians
to
support
english
language
classes
for
new
beginners
in
in
all,
and
specifically,
we
have
we've.
A
Thank
you.
I
used
to
teach
you,
so
it's
not
easy.
Anyone
any
other
suggestions
or
comments
or
concerns.
Can
we
support
it.
Yep,
okay
and
next
we
have
oh,
yes,
counselor
is.
N
A
A
We
already
got
the
nine,
I'm
just
ask
I'm
just
creating
a
democratic
process
so
that
everyone
understands
that
we
are
in
this
together.
We
don't
change
our
minds
and
do
something
else
we're
in
this
together.
You're
hearing
it,
you
know
we're
on
the
same
page,
there's
a
little
bit
left.
We
could
just
go
raise
his
hand
or
if
you
have
objections,
that's
the
only
time
we
stop
is
that
that.
A
Mean
like
ten
more
suggestions.
A
Just
show
our
hands
or
light
up
your
mic.
If
you
want
object,
okay,
let's
go
150
000
to
go
to
african
culture,
festivals
or
parades
tourism
to
tourism.
They
don't
have
anything
allocated
to
africa
and
okay,
very
anything
in
tourism.
A
A
E
B
A
So
from
to
council
administration
personnel
obviously
same
from
overtime
bpd
over
time.
A
A
This
means
that
we
have
to
support
them
in
raising
their
pay,
even
if
it
means
that
they
get
paid
more
than
us.
Okay,
all
right,
that's
it!
Oh
my
gosh,
so
thank
you.
A
Let's
not
fight
about
this,
and
then
we
have
special
events
for
lgbtq.
I
wanted
to
come
from
historic
preservation
to
go
to
lgbtq
150
000.
Only
special
events,
lgbtq.
E
Concerned
about
it
coming
from
historic
preservation,
because
that
department,
landmarks
etc
has
been
understaffed
for
years,
and
they
have
a
backlog
of
a
whole
lot
of
studies
that
need
to
be
done
to
try
and
preserve
some
of
our
historic,
even
just
the
highland
park.
Neighborhood.
That
sort
of
stuff
takes
a
lot
of
time
and
we're
way
behind.
So
I
really
wish
we
could
find
some
money
somewhere
else
not
from
the
historic
preservation.
L
A
So
all
right,
let's
table
that,
let's
keep
going.
We
said
we're
going
to
keep
going
so
age
strong
to
age
strong,
and
I
think
it
probably
goes
to
like
isd
or
public
works.
I
don't
know,
but
to
allocate
500
000
to
the
senior
repair
program.
This
is
the
program
that
gives
out
grants
to
for
seniors
of
lower
income
to
repair
their
homes.
E
It's
under
mayor's
office
of
housing,
yeah.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
You
want
to
increase
their
budget.
A
All
right
moving
on
and
the
the
seniors
everywhere,
thanks
you
in
boston,
rfp
to
for
smart
from
the
start.
They
usually
get
money
from
bcyf.
This
is
bcyf
prioritizing
and
keep
making
sure
that
they
continue
to
get
their
grant.
I
know
they've
contacted
every
single
one
of
us.
Yes,
do
we
support
500
000
to
go
to
smart
from
the
start?
No,
how
much
do
you
support.
L
L
A
A
A
A
A
Council
acquisition
for
natural
wild
I'm
gonna
need
a
little
help
with
this
from
parks
to
parks
acquisition
from
natural
wild
from
parks
to
parks.
Do
we
have
an
issue
with
that
council
or
well.
N
So
they
don't
have
the
money
to
purchase
it
either
like
so
there's
no
bucket
of
money
to
to
purchase
you
know.
So
it's
both.
It.
H
H
H
No
but
they're
trying
they're
trying
to
hire
still
for
those
positions,
so
they've
got
six
physicians
for
graffiti
busters,
but
they
currently
only
have
three
people
hired
and
they're
still
trying
to
hire
for
the
other
three
and
I'm
not
sure
we
want
to
reduce
because
they're
crews
of
two.
So
if
we
reduce
that
by
one,
they
wouldn't
have
a
complete
third
crew.
If
they
do
manage
to
hire.
H
E
H
H
A
To
that
graffiti
busters,
we'll
come
back
to
that
lgbtq
special
events
we'll
come
back
to
that.
A
Okay,
so
I
am
asking
for
you
guys
to
allocate
for
us
to
allocate
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
life
insurance
for
four
four
people
in
the
city
of
boston,
just
a
study
from
boston
public
health
commission
to
go
to
economic
opportunity.
I'm
open
for
suggestions.
A
Next,
miss
console
colada.
Let
me
know
when
you're
ready.
Oh
okay,
please
tell
me
because
I
didn't
take
notes
properly
on
yours.
I
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
chair,
so
I
am
introducing
two
additional
amendments.
The
first
one,
I'm
gonna
start
with.
I
So
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
moya-
and
this
particularly
the
program
of
immigrants,
lead
boston.
It's
a
12-week,
civic
engagement
course
for
immigrant
residents
to
become
leaders
and
advocates
in
their
own
communities.
I
I
spoke
to
now
outgoing
director
valli
about
this
program.
They
do
incredible
work.
They
provide
a
stipend
for
people
in
their
community
or
folks
in
their
own
communities
to
go
out
and
advocate
to
elected
leaders.
I
would
like
to
see
an
expansion
of
this
program
to
have
more
individuals.
I
guess
there
is
there's
a
wait
list
for
it,
and
a
bunch
of
people
want
to
to
get
a
part
of
it.
I
A
I
A
To
know
no
yes,
which
one
caused.
I
H
I
I
I
would
hope
to
modernize
the
system,
provide
better
accountability
and
transparency,
potentially
higher
quality
compliance
positions
that
act
as
ombuds
people
for
residents
right
now.
This
system
is
a
call
center.
It's
a
web
app,
it's
a
mobile
app
all
in
run,
and
my
understanding
is
that
they're
using
a
crm
system
that
was
developed
during
during
the
menino
era
in
2011..
I
A
A
It
to
come
from,
let's
have
a
conversation,
all
right,
we'll
come
back,
counselor
braden
is,
is
asking
for
professional
services
for
ordinances
charter
and
to
go
to
city
clerk
contractual
services
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
come
from.
A
I
thought
that
a
f
contractual
looks
pretty
handsome.
E
Congratulations
hang
on
a
sec
hang
on
from
a
f,
yes,
yeah.
A
E
E
A
Okay,
no
issues
we're
moving
on
us
for
counselor,
hello,
coletta,
okay,
go
back
to
councilletta.
What's
the
suggestion.
L
And
I
know
that
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
boston
police
department
personnel,
but
they
are
increasing
their
mobile
officers
by
10.
and
if
you
remove
one
eft
out
of
the
741
000,
you
might
be
able
to
do
that
and
they
still
would
increase
by
nine
from
fy22.
I
don't
know
if
you're,
okay
with
that,
but
for
for
which
mobile
officers.
L
A
Yeah,
I
think,
if
they're
already,
I
think
we
should
have
an
increase
of
just
119.
yeah,
sorry
119.,
one
page
119..
No,
no!
The
increase
is
119.
000..
Okay,
I
don't
know
question.
E
Is
if
this
is
a
one-off
sort
of
upgrade
of
software
or
whatever
reform
would
would
some
arpa
funds
be
appropriated
for
this
project?.
H
A
If
we're
talking
about
equity,
though
there's
five
million
in
the
personnel
yeah,
because
isn't
there
five
million
suggested
for
to
then
measure
equity,
whether
or
not
the
spending
is
secretable
yeah?
Are
you
talking
about
digital.
I
Yeah,
this
could
be
considered
under
digital
equity.
I
I
For
I
mean
you
would
need
personnel
to
help
with
this
onboarding
process,
because
you
need
to
create
a
whole
system.
You
need
to
create
another,
you
need
to
keep
the
system
and
then
integrate
them
at
some
point
is
what
I'm
being
told
by
people
smarter
than
me
when
it
comes
to
software,
so
we
would
need
to
hire
them
yeah.
A
H
A
H
Already,
this
is
what
I'm
trying
to
say:
they're
all
they
already
have
in
the
budget.
The
replacement
of
the
legacy
through
in
one
system
like
from
a
pure
software
perspective.
I
think
what
counselor
is
suggesting
is
more
of
the
kind
of
like
also
programming,
complementary
yeah
programmatic
apparatus
around
it
to.
I
A
I
H
H
I'm
trying
so
currently
trying
to
find
sources
for
452
000
and
I'm
just
asking
if
there's
anything
else
on
the,
so
I
have
150
for
the
three
on
one
thing.
Taking
into
account
the
upgrade
that
they're
already
embarked
on
the
hundred
for
immigrants
lead
boston,
the
150
for
the
lgbtq
events
and
then
the
52
for
the
property
management
graffiti
grants.
A
Counselor
braden
is
going
to
need
help
with
a
couple
of
places.
Well,
I.
A
A
Okay,
great
so
yes,
that's
it
counselor
block.
L
Madam
chair,
yes,
I
just
wanted
to
oh
like
that
it
is
4
20.
So
I
have
to
excuse
myself
because
I
have
to
get
my
kid
okay,
but
that
I
trust
counselor
bach
and
the
remaining
members
of
the
body
to
make
decisions
about
where
it
comes
from.
L
F
A
We
did
it,
we
did
it.
No
I'm
kidding
so
counselor
bach,
I'm
waiting
for
the
recommendations.
Oh,
we
have
one
thing,
though,
that
I
just
have
to
read:
that's
different
counselor
flynn.
Although
this
sounds
like
a
capital
thing,
it
can
also
be
done
as
a
priority
from
streets
to
streets,
to
fix
sidewalk
for
sidewalk
repairs
and
he'll
work
with
the
department
to
talk
about
where
those
priorities
chief,
yasha
and
them
is,
and
council
flynn
are
in
conversation
and
is
willing
to
prioritize
that.
A
But
it's
just
a
matter
of
like
following
up.
L
A
Let
me
type
that
in
but
yeah
that's
just
an
apartment.
E
A
E
A
It's
just
fifty
thousand
yeah,
I'm
sure
they're
already,
if
they're
already
doing
it,
it'll
make
it
easier.
Jackson,
man
closure
transitional,
200
000
to
do
what.
E
The
2000
was
to
do
a
have:
a
transitional
transitional
transition
coordinator
and
resources,
the
bcyf
center,
the
jackson
man
center-
is
the
only
one
we
have
it's
going
to
close
this
time
next
year.
E
All
of
the
programs
that
happen
there
and
there
are
a
lot-
will
need
to
be
relocated
to
other
other
facilities
within
and
we
may
need
to
rent
space.
We
may
need
to
you
know
it's:
it's
esol,
adult
education,
senior,
recreational
services,
summer
program,
child
care,
fema,
emergency
heating
and
cooling
center,
and
it's
an
election
precinct
for
five
district,
five
precincts.
So
I'm
thinking
that
has
to
come
within
bcyf
to
bc
bcyf,
but
I
wanted
to
be
made
a
priority
within
their
within
their
own
budget.
A
That's
fine,
okay:
where
is
it
coming
from?
I'm
sorry.
E
I
think
it
might
be
a
combination
of
coming
from
both
those
buckets,
and
this
is
annoying
this
this
these
youth
workers.
We
have
the
two
two
bha
facilities,
commonwealth
developments
and
the
the
faneuil
gardens-
have
a
large
population
of
young
people.
We
don't
have
any
youth
workers.
We
have
youth
workers
now
that
we
we
got
some
funding
from
the
state
from.
E
But
it's
not
it's
not
a
permanent
line
item
that
we
have
to
sort
of
go
back
and
beg
for
every
year,
so
there's
a
definite
need
to
try
and
keep
our
young
people
out
of
trouble
and
to
provide
them
with
with
use
youth
worker
support.
So
I
was
thinking
bcy,
a
combination
of
bcyf
and
yee,
perhaps
would
be.
A
Done
I
split
it
in
half
and
it's
both
going
to
pcyf
for
the
youth
workers
for
bha
and
if,
if
is
this,
something
that
already
exists
or
will.
E
Yeah,
this
would
be
an
80
000
for
to
really
focus
on
early
early
early
literacy
specialists.
E
A
A
A
Oh
one
second.
C
C
A
C
C
A
C
C
Lives
in
b,
boston,
public
health
commission
under
the
youth
development
network
line.
It
is
a
line
item
that
historically
never
moves
up,
but
the
need
does,
and
so
what
I'm
advocating
for
is
an
additional
bump
at
the
very
least
of
160,
so
that
they
can
address
some
of
their
hiring
barriers,
which
is
the
pay
rate.
So.
A
C
H
I
think,
madam
chair,
that
she's
seeking
a
she
thinks
there
are
eight
fdes
and
that
she's
seeking
a
20
000
increase
for
each
of
them,
so
it
would
be
a
that
would
be
160.
H
Obviously
your
discretion
on,
but-
and
I
think
obviously
we
would
just
have
to
add
it
to
the
special
appropriation
for
bphc
and
sort
of
specify
the
intent
for
it
to
go
there,
but
it
it
is
an
operating
budget
item,
so
they're
posted
in
the
schools
but
they're
bphc
employees.
So
I
do
think
it's
an
appropriate
thing
to
chase
in
the
operating
budget.
A
H
I
was
not
working
on
sidewalk
repair,
but
I
think
we
can.
Oh.
That
was
my
me
thinking
out
loud
sorry,
okay
yeah,
so
I
think
we
can
add.
Another
hundred
for
immigrants
lead
boston
from
the
another
hundred.
H
No,
no,
no!
This
is
I'm
going
through
the
okay,
the
things
that
I
was
finding
sources
for,
so
I
think
we
could
probably
do
another
100
for
the
immigrants
leave
boston
thing
out
of
the
that
bpd
calms
line
item
that
I
talked
about
before,
because
we
left
space
and
space
in
that,
and
then
I
think,
probably
do
the
the
352
and
this
160
for
counselor
mejia
out
of
the
bpd
lease
purchase
number
because
again,
there's
significant
room
there,
and
then
I
just
think
it's
you
know.
H
H
Oh
sorry,
yeah
sorry
that
was,
I
was
putting
that
in
there
too,
it's
putting
coletta's
3-1-1
is
comms
at
least
purchase
in
lease
purchase.
Thank
you.
Immigrants
lead
boston
in
coms.
Yes,
then,
the
150
for
the
lgbtq
thing
in
lease
purchase
and
the
52
for
pmd
also
in
these
purchases.
So
those
three
together
roll
up
to
352
more
in
lease
purchase,
and
then
I
think,
probably
counselor
mahia's
160
could
go
there
as
well.
F
H
A
I
okay
for
the
record,
I
think
also
mejia
was
saying:
let's
amend
more
funds
for
the
community
to
be
clear,
not
we
should
get
extra
five
thousand
dollars.
So
can
we
all
right
well
I'd
like
to
thank
all
of
you,
especially
the
three
of
you
that
stayed
behind
counselor
bach.
Thank
you
so
much
for
becoming
my
vice,
even
though
you
rejected
that
position.
A
So
apparently,
but
here
we
are-
and
I
appreciate
you
for
your
studious
and
always
astute
response
and
technical
assistance
in
these
processes
and
both
of
you
for
hanging
in
here
with
us
and
your
beautiful,
innovative
ideas
in
your
work.
We
look
forward
to
tomorrow
to
a
beautiful
presentation
and
heartwarming
comments.
Thank
you
for
the
administration
to
the
administration
and
to
opening
up
their
doors
to
from
here
forth,
to
working
together
in
creating
this
collaborative
effort
of
presentatory
budget.
If
you
have
any
closing
remarks
I'll
take
them
down.
H
But
I
would
suggest
counselor
mahia.
We
will
be
taking
the
initial
vote
on
the
budget
with
the
amendment
tomorrow.
We
have
to
or
else
the
administration's
budget
goes
into
effect,
and
I
do
think
that
most
likely
counselors
will
tomorrow,
as
they
have
in
the
past,
give
sort
of
like
speeches
on
things
that
they
are
excited
and
not
excited
about
vis-a-vis
budget
in
advance
of
their
vote.
I
would
anticipate
that
happening.
A
So
that's
that
would
be
your
opportunity
tomorrow
will
be
your
opportunity
to
take
strong
stance.
Just
your
statements
typical,
like
whatever
like
we
do
in
other
council
meetings,
where
you
say
you
know
what
I
support
this
and
although
I
wasn't
too
strong
on
this,
but
I'm
happy
about
this
process
and
thanks
to
the
chair,
thanks
to
the
