a
set

under
the

Department.
On

Number:

message
and
water
authorizing
the
Commissioner
of
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
to
accept
and
expend
a
parkland
acquisition
and
renovations
for
the
communities
known
as
park
program
grant
from
the
Massachusetts
Executive
Office
of
Energy
and
Environmental
Affairs
Division
of
Conservation
services
in
the

$400,000.
The
fund
will
provide
capital
improvements
to
noise

located
in
the
neighborhood
of
East
Boston.
B
The
grant
was
initially
filed
on
February,
14th
2018
and
is
being
resubmitting
this
order
to
include
the
clarifying
language
that
the
parks
department
will
permanently
dedicate
noise
playground
for
park
purposes.
This
language
is
required
by
the
Executive
Office
of
Energy
and
Environmental
Affairs
for
the
purpose
of
this
green.
C
You,
madam
president,
this
is
a
very
unique
situation
where
this
body
has
already
voted
unanimously
on
this
four
hundred
thousand
dollar
grant.
My
committee
held
the
hearing.
Councillor
Edwards
participated
as
well.
This
is
a
wonderful
thing.
Apparently,
the
state
in
order
to
receive
state
matching
funds
needed
clarifying
language
that
would
designate
noise
playground
for
park
purposes
permanently.
C
C
It's
for
a
wonderful
expenditure,
nearly
half
a
million
dollars
for
a
terrific
park
in
East,
Boston
I'm,
asking
that
we
suspend
the
rules
and
pass
this
so
that
the
the
funds
will
be
available
and
we
can
get
to
work
on
what
will
be
a
wonderful
wonderful
place
for
the
young
and
the
young
at
heart
and
ease
Boston.
Thank
you
by
the
president,
Thank.
A
You
councillor
O'malley
at
this
time,
councillor
Molly,
who
is
the
chair
of
the
Committee
on
Environment
sustainability
and
parks,
moves
for
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
docket
zero,
four,
four
five,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
duck
at
zero.
Four
four
five
has
been
passed
and
before
we
move
on
madam
clerk
to
reports
of
public
officers
and
others,
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
a
special
visitor
and
I
should
have
done
it
at
the
beginning,
but
I
apologize
councillor
Janey.
We
have
many
special
visitors.
A
Everyone
in
here
is
special,
but
we
have
a
sixth
grader
with
us
who
is
joining
a
meeting
for
the
first
time,
and
she
is
here
in
person
and
her
name
is
Jasmine
lang.
If
you
could
stand
up
Jasmine,
she
is
a
sixth
grader
at
the
ten
acre
Country
Day
School
in
Wellesley.
She
lives
in
Roxbury
she's,
a
constituent
of
councillor
Janie,
and
we
always
are
encouraging
our
young
people
to
participate
and
be
a
part
of
our
meetings,
and
so
when
they
do
I
think
we
should
acknowledge
them.
So
Jasmine.
Thank
you
for
being
here.

four
six,

zero
four

will
be

on
file
matters
recently
heard
for
possible

In

I'm
going
to
ask
that
we
pull
the
first
late
file
matter
out
of
order
which
offers
clarification
on
docket

So
all

of

this

matter
out
of

say

any

nay,
the
eyes
have
it.
Madam
clerk,
if
you
could
read
the
firstly
file
matter
into
the
record,
thank.
B
You,
madam
president,
in
the
office
of
Mayor
Martin
J
Walsh,
March,
21st
2018,
dear
city
clerk,
Feeney,
docket,
number
0,
1,
2
9
in
ordinance,
allowing
short-term
residential
rentals
in
the
city
of
Boston
was
filed
with
the
Boston
City
Clerk
on
January
19th
2018
during
a
robust
process,
including
public
hearing
and
2
working
sessions.
Important
and
complex,
complex
questions
were
raised.
Members
of
the
City,
Council
and
I
agree
that
more
time
is
necessary
to
ensure
that
we
enact
the
best
and
most
effective
policy
and
regulations
regarding
short-term
rentals
in
Boston.
B
My
administration
and
the
City
Council
have
a
shared
commitment
to
ensure
expeditious
passage
of
a
comprehensive
legislation
that
prevents
displacement
and
protects
the
quality
of
life
in
our
neighborhoods
I.
Look
forward
to
refiling
a
proposal
in
the
coming
weeks
and
working
collaboratively
with
the
Boston
City
Council
to
produce
the
most
effective
policy.
B
A
C
C
Don't
call
me
late
for
supper.
Madam
president,
very
very
briefly.
I
just
wanted
to
really
thank
the
the
number
of
you.
Virtually
every
office
was
represented,
Madam
President,
you
were
there
councillor
Flynn
councillor
Baker
had
some
great
questions.
This
was
a
follow-up
to
an
initiative
that
we
started.
Last
fall
really
last
December
I
should
say
last
winter,
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
work
to
address
the
fact
that
50%
of
our
carbon
greenhouse
gas
emissions
come
from
buildings
in
an
unprecedented
building
boom.
We're
only
going
to
see
that
exacerbated.
C
We
don't
need
to
get
into
how
climate
change
is
affecting
us
right
now.
It
was
one
of
the
best
working
sessions
that
I've
convened
in
my
nearly
eight
years
on
this
body.
We
had
tremendous
experts
from
the
business
community
from
the
public
sector
from
the
private
sector.
Neighbors
and
local
government
across
the
Commonwealth
came,
but
I
really
talked
about
best
practices
and
what
we
ought
to
be
doing
so.
There's
no
action
to
be
taken.
I'm
gonna
ask
that
this
matter
remain
in
committee,
I'd
like
us
to
hold
an
additional
series
of
working
sessions.
C
You
know
in
the
months
and
year
ahead,
but
I
really
think
we
have
an
opportunity
here
to
lead
lead
nationally
on
what
it
what
it
means
to
really
build
sustainable,
environmentally
conscious
buildings.
Houses
really
really
have
a
tremendous
impact.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
indulgence
of
letting
me
touch
on
this
issue.
It's
a
great
thing
and
I'm
excited
to
continue
to
work
with
all
of
you
to
get
it
done
so
I.
Ask
that
this
remaining
committee
and
look
forward
to
another
working
session
in
probably
two
months
or
so
thankful.
E
E
The
cost,
the
differences
in
cost,
but
also
I,
think
we
should
be
looking
as
a
body
as
how
do
we
incentivize
people
to
build
to
build
this
way,
whether
it's
tax
credits
or
you
know
some
of
the
when
the
city's,
giving
away
land
or
or
or
not
giving
it
away,
but
but
giving
it
a
reduced
cost.
These
buildings
should
should
be
built.
I
just
want
to
congratulate
council
councillor
O'malley
again
it
was
a
really
really
good
working
session.
Thank
you.
Thank.

B
A
A
A
Thank
You
counselor,
so
yeah
well,
I
think
this
hearing
order
is
a
little
self-explanatory,
but
I
want
to
give
some
context
because
the
hearing
order
comes
from
a
recent
incident
that
happened
in
conmen
square
section
of
my
district,
but
I'm
sure
happens
in
other
parts
of
the
city
as
well.
So
Popeyes
came
before
the
community
in
October
of
2016
and
they
filed
for
a
conditional
use
permit
to
operate
the
restaurant
with
certain
conditions.
A
The
community
there
was
a
robust
community
process
and
Codman
Square
and
many
neighbors
stood
up
and
actually
opposed
the
project
and
subsequently
the
permit
was
denied.
Then
in
sort
of
after
a
period
of
litigation,
sometime
afterwards,
Popeyes
filed
again
and
actually
apply
for
an
allowed
use,
permit,
they
were
approved
and
no
notification
went
to
the
community.
I
didn't
receive
notification.
No
one
knew
about
this.
Until
a
resident
in
the
cotton
wind
square
community
was
walking
down
the
street
and
saw
Popeyes
was
under
construction.
As
you
can
imagine,
she
was
shocked.
A
She
ran
back
and
told
all
of
her
neighbors
in
everybody,
and
she
also
called
the
dorcester
report,
and
so
we
have
been
having
conversations
particularly
around
projects
that
go
before
the
board,
where
the
community
has
denied
approval
and
because
for
many
reasons
either
it
doesn't
align
with
the
values
of
their
community
or
it's
not
in
line
with
the
vision
that
that
community
has
for
their
residents.
So
in
this
particular
case,
Codman
Square
has
been
pushing
for
a
really
long
time:
healthy,
living,
healthy
food.
A
They
do
year-round,
farmers,
markets
and
I
know
all
of
my
colleagues
I
think
or
many
of
them
have
participated.
They
just
had
their
winters
farmers
market
open
up.
They
also
have
non-smoking
so
reverend
leche
has
been
in
the
bold
teens,
have
been
active
supporters
of
getting
smoking
out
of
their
community
and
out
of
housing
and
out
of
housing
developments
in
the
Codman
square
area.
A
So
this
hearing
order
just
said:
it's
a
hearing
order
to
have
a
conversation
and
is
to
have
a
conversation
with
both
the
BPD,
a
and
ISD,
but
also
other
interested
parties
about
a
couple
of
things
one.
If
a
project
goes
up
and
is
not
approved
the
first
time
and
they
proceed
as
a
right,
should
they
be
required
to
notify
folks
who
oppose
them
in
the
first
place,
I
think
at
a
minimum.
That's
not
a
lot
to
ask.
A
We
don't
have
to
do
it
for
every
project
for
those
projects
that
really
actually
did
a
combust
community
process
pulled
the
community
in
as
we
expected,
which
Popeyes
did
but
then
later
decided
to
do
something.
Different
I
had
a
similar
occurrence
in
my
rosin
Dale
section
of
the
district,
where
the
Taco
Bell,
so
at
a
minimum,
should
they
be
required
to
give
notice.
A
So
this
is
an
opportunity
to
have
a
conversation
with
BP
da
about
this
and
what
is
possible,
what
the
council
can
do
and
then
I
will
add.
One
concern
that
came
up
is
when
the
restaurant
applied
for
a
conditional
use
permit
I'm
sorry
an
allowed
use
permit
as
a
Nazarite
project.
There
were
some
conditions
that
were
placed
on
their
takeout
provision,
so
the
question
became:
does
ISD,
have
the
resources
or
the
capacity
to
enforce
the
takeout
restaurant
restrictions?
A
Who
is
going
to
go
into
popeye's
and
count
the
number
of
chickens
or
the
amount
of
chicken
that
is
being
made
in
the
kitchen
to
ensure
that
this
restaurant
is
adhering
to
those
takeout
provisions?
I
think
it's
a
lot
to
ask
and
I
think
the
question
about
whether
or
not
IC
has
the
resources
and
human
capital
to
enforce.
This
is
legitimate
one.
A
These
are
the
residents
who
I
like
to
think
a
reasonable,
rational,
rational
are
not
anti,
are
not
an
automatic
no
but
I
like
to
participate
in
the
conversation,
but
have
visions
and
dreams
for
their
community.
That
I
absolutely
want
to
support.
So
I.
Look
forward
to
this
hearing.
I
hope
that
all
of
my
colleagues
will
participate
and
that
this
can
be
a
real,
robust
dialogue
about
other
things
that
we
could
possibly
do
around
some
of
the
current
zoning
regulations.
Thank
You
councillor
Cielo
and
thank
you,
madam
Clerk
Thank,.
G
Both
what's
might
be
received
in
the
mail
through
zba
or
what's
hand
delivered
through
flyers
and
often,
if
they're
not
engaged.
With
that
flyer.
Oftentimes,
our
residents
become
further
disengaged,
and
that
is
a
problem
when
we
can,
if
we
are
to
consider
our
residents
the
city's
greatest
asset.
So
I
look
forward
to
this
hearing
and
I
look
forward
to
clarity
on
this
in
particular
as
well.
Thank
you
thank.
H
Wanted
to
rise,
and
also
graduate
the
maker
I,
think
this
conversation
is
well
overdue,
especially
in
the
communities
that
I
represent,
with
the
with
the
amount
of
development
that
is
going
on
in
increasing
the
the
ability
for
developers
or
for
businesses
to
just
figure
out
what
they
have
as
of
right
and
to
literally
do
the
opposite
of
what
the
community
just
said
or
to
ignore
them.
All
together
is
something
that
I'm
deeply
concerned
about.
H
What
can
and
can't
happen
and
I
also
love
to
have
a
robust
discussion
about
just
because
it's
as
of
right
doesn't
mean
that
there
aren't
benefits
and
certain
obligations
that
you
have
to
community.
So,
looking
at
how
we
can
require
folks
who
are
building,
even
if
it
is
as
of
right
to
be
part
of
the
process,
but
also
to
benefit
the
community
as
well.
H
F
I
You
mr.
chair,
please
add
my
name
and
also
through
the
maker
just
asked
to
include
all
deferrals.
As
you
know,
anytime,
anyone
defers
up
there.
None
of
the
neighbors
get
an
additional
notice
at
all,
and
it's
really
incumbent
upon
come
Salafi
Jewish
inquiring
as
to
who
it
should
be
I
would
think
it
should
be
inspectional
services
they
bring
in
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
a
new
permitting
every
year.
It's
really
a
software
mechanism
and
it's
the
hit
of
a
button
that
could
very
easily
notify
the
advisors.
I
It's
also
it's
become
kind
of
a
game
and
a
little
bit
of
a
trick
that
contested
projects
and
their
council
and
folks
doing
their
ground
game
will
use.
They
get
everyone
all
fired
up,
and
then
everyone
shows
up
at
the
hearing
and
at
the
eleventh
hour
they
defer
and
then
conveniently
they
get
another
date,
usually
around
a
holiday
July
4th
whatever
and
no
additional
notice
goes
out.
Council,
Flynn
and
I
were
just
discussing
that
it's
really
up
to
the
direct
about
is
the
end
or
the
other
neighbors
to
really
stay
on
this.
I
It
shouldn't
really
be
there
that
shouldn't
be
their
focus.
They
got
other
things
to
worry
about.
It
should
be
the
proponent
you.
The
proponent
should
be
required
to
Reno
tiss
through
inspectional
services
and
through
the
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
the
guessing
game,
the
hocus-pocus,
the
who
you
know
the
who
you
hire
the
gamesmanship.
It
has
to
be
taken
out
of
this
process
in
one
way
we
could
do.
It
is
through
that
deferral
process
require
brand-new
Reno
de
Singh,
along
with
an
additional
meeting
and
abutters
meeting
we're
dealing
with
it.
I
Now
in
our
neighborhood,
where
we
have
an
interim
iPod
overlay
on
anything
over
1,000
square
feet
just
to
one
bring
some
restore
some
sanity
to
the
process,
but
to
slow
things
down
a
little
bit
and
also
to
recognize
that
you
know
community
process
in
a
butter
input.
It's
it's
critical,
it's
to
the
process
and
when
you
can
go
and
have
a
contested
process
and
have
a
community
meeting
and
then
get
your
date.
And
then,
when
you
show
up
at
your
date
the
morning
of
the
date,
you
withdraw
you
defer,
and
then
you
get
another
date.
I
6
8
10
weeks
down
the
road
and
there's
no
additional
notice
going
up,
and
then
that
party
shows
up
again
with
50
people
and
the
bus
loads
come
in
and
then
at
the
next
hearing
date
no
one's
there
making
it
look
like
everyone's
on
board
when
in
fact
no
one
got
any
notice.
No
one
knew,
and
it's
arguably
it's
at
that
point.
It's
it's
Austin,
our
staffs
at
the
11th
hour,
making
around
a
phone
calls
to
try
to
get
people
in
here
on
short
notice.
It's
just
inappropriate
and
it's
it's
just
really.
I
It's
dysfunctional,
so
I
would
argue
that
through
that
process,
I'd
love
to
again
participate
in
this
hearing
and
ask
that,
in
addition
to
this
particular
specific
instance,
we
also
look
at
all
deferrals
anytime.
Someone
comes
in
and
through
their
council
into
themselves
as
proponents
they
defer.
That
starts
the
clock
over
again,
or
at
least
in
the
very
instance,
starts
a
notice
clock
over
again
and
in
special
services.
Neighborhood
services
they're
in
the
perfect
position
to
execute
that.
So
please
again
and
my
name
look
forward
to
expedited
hearing
Thank.
J
Much
mr.
vice
president
I'd
like
to
have
my
name
added
and
I
agree
with
everything
that
everybody
said.
I
would
like
to
quickly
add
when
you
go
to
for
the
cba
at
for
a
variance,
it's
a
privilege,
you're
supposed
to
prove
hardship
and
sometimes
variance
is
given
because
good
project,
but
nothing
derails
a
project
faster
than
the
very
next
door,
neighbor,
not
getting
a
notice
even
on
a
good
project
and
as
a
district
city
councilor.
J
J
You
know,
community
groups
need
to
know,
and
and
that
needs
to
be
expanded,
and
especially
on
the
larger
projects
where
builders
or
developers
are
planning
on
making
plenty
of
money
on
it.
A
certified
piece
of
mail
to
a
certain
area
wouldn't
kill
them,
but
it
would
certainly
make
their
process
more
viable,
so
I'm,
looking
forward
to
the
hearing.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
C
It's
this
bizarre
duality
where
there
are
many
seemingly
innocent
innocuous
projects
where
the
owner
has
to
go
through
incredible
hoops,
jump
through
hoops
and
and
go
to
great
lengths
to
satisfy
when
virtually
everyone
likes
I'm
talking
about
your
dormer
or
a
shed
or
something
along
those
lines
where
there
are
other
projects
that
are
deemed
as
of
right.
That
really
ought
not
be
in
my
opinion
and
can
spring
up
overnight.
So
anything
we
can
do
to
strengthen
the
community
process
and
awareness
a
lot
of
times.
People
just
want
to
know
what
is
going
on
next
door.
C
What
is
going
on
down
the
street
from
me?
We
recognize
that
that
many
zoning
variances
can
can
trigger
some
some
hard
feelings
and
some
ill-will
and
unfortunately,
that's
part
of
doing
business,
but
anything
we
can
do
to
make
it
so
that
more
information
is
shared
and
more
people
have
an
opportunity
to
at
least
be
aware
of
what
is
happening
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
C
H
F
K
We've
done
this
and
we've
led
on
the
Boston
trust
act
on
daca
on
GPS,
on
bilingual
education
or
on
e
ll
or
municipal
ID
in
2015
I
filed
a
hearing
order
in
the
wake
of
the
closing
of
a
number
of
Adult
Basic,
Education
and
English
language
learner
facilities
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
that
instance
we're
able
to
galvanize
the
support
to
keep
those
particular
offices
from
shuttering
their
doors
in
East
Boston
in
Mattapan
and
in
the
South
End.
But
the
problem
has
continued
to
grow,
and
so
has
the
waitlist.
K
If
you
miss
the
Globe
article
on
March,
9th
entitled
invisible
in
any
language,
Massachusetts
Latinos
faced
intense
inequality.
It
reports
that
Latinos
in
Massachusetts
face
the
greatest
income
inequality
of
any
state
in
the
nation,
and
certainly
we
can
agree
that
one's
ability
to
be
competitive
in
the
job
market
to
be
the
best
wage
earner
they
can
be
to
provide
for
their
family.
K
L
You,
madam
president,
and
I,
just
want
to
commend
the
maker.
Thank
you
so
much.
This
is
such
an
important
issue
as
someone
who
has
spent
a
good
chunk
of
my
career,
advocating
for
English
language
learners
and
Boston,
Public
Schools
I
understand
the
challenges
that
the
system
faces,
but
also
that
there
are
many
young
people
who
are
not
being
served
who
have
transitioned
out
who
have
not
acquired
English
and
how
that
hurts
them
in
terms
of
their
opportunity
to
go
on
to
college
or
to
career,
and
so
just
to
add
a
face
to
this.
L
This
challenge
you
know
a
couple
years
ago,
I
was
in
my
education
advocacy
working
with
a
family
who
had
recently
come
from
dr2
the
United
States.
It
was
a
mom
joining
her
husband
who
was
already
here
and
her
two
young
daughters,
the
youngest
daughter
I
entered
into
Boston.
Public
Schools
was
put
into
a
program
four
Slice
students
because
they
had
limited
English
and
education
back
at
home.
M
L
Mom
was
able
to
get
into
an
ESL
program
because
she
was
a
bps
parent.
The
older
daughter,
however,
who
had
already
graduated
from
high
school
and
dr,
was
kind
of
just
left
limbo.
She
did
not,
so
we
try
tried
to
help
her
get
into
programs,
but
because
of
this
weightless
issue,
she
was
not
able
to
get
into
a
program
where
that
she
could
acquire
some
English
go
on
to
work
or
go
on
to
school.
She
was
not
able
to
enter
into
Roxbury
Community,
College
or
Bunker
Hill,
because
the
cost
was
prohibitive,
and
so
it
just.
L
We
really
need
to
do
something
here.
She
ended
up
this
young
lady,
who
is
now
I,
think
nineteen
years
old
is
currently
enrolled
in
Boston
Public
Schools,
even
though
she
has
a
high
school
diploma
from
her
own
country,
but
so
now
she's
just
being
sent
back
for
a
year
or
two
or
however
many
in
terms
of
being
able
to
enter
into
college
or
to
the
job
market.
So
I
just
certainly
want
to
add
my
name
and
again
I
appreciate
this.
L
A
You
councillor
Janey,
council
Edwards,
you
have
the
floor.
Oh
actually,
before
kids
are
it
takes
two
floor
councillor
Jeannie.
Would
you
like
to
add
your
name
aye,
madam
clerk?
If
you
could
add
councillor
Janie's
name,
councillor
co-moh
councillor,
sabe
George,
councillor
Flynn,
councillor
McCarthy,
councillor
Malley,
councillor,
woo
councillors,
ake
councillor
Baker,
councillor
Edwards,
you
have
the
floor.
H
Congratulation
is
not
just
about
income
inequality,
I
feel,
but
it's
about
the
future
of
our
city.
As
you
mentioned,
20%
of
our
city
is
Latino,
but
there
are
many
beyond
that
percentage
who
do
not
speak
English
as
a
first
language,
so
our
investment
in
assuring
that
they
their
family
children,
their
families,
are
able
to
access.
English
lessons
is
an
actual
investment
in
our
future
that
will
pay
many
times
over
the
amount
of
an
English
class.
H
N
N
English
Proficient
in
the
way
that
that
works
in
our
school
system
is
that
you
come
in
at
level
one
when
you
need
the
most
boost,
and
then
you
go
to
the
level
one
two,
three
four
or
five
and
after
you've
sort
of
finished
all
five
levels
in
the
system
and
many
of
the
kids
do
it
in
fewer
than
five
years.
You're
then
still
tagged
as
quote-unquote
F
LEP,
formerly
limited
English
Proficient
in
the
system.
So
to
me
that
proves
that
when
we
do
it
we
do
and
when
we
do
it.
N
O
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I'd
also
like
to
ask
my
name
to
be
added
and
I'd
like
to
highlight
that
outside
this
building,
there's
a
plaque
to
our
immigrants-
and
it
reads:
America's
Promise
has
drawn
people
from
all
corners
of
the
world
to
Boston
in
search
of
a
better
life
for
themselves
and
their
families.
Their
traditions
and
values
have
become
the
fabric
of
our
neighborhoods.
Here
in
Boston,
we
seek
to
fulfill
that
promise
by
providing
a
life
filled
with
peace,
dignity,
an
opportunity
for
all
who
make
this
great
city
home.
O
A
You
councillor
Flynn,
madam
clerk
I,
think
we
already
recorded
it,
but
if
you
could
add
councillor
Flynn's
name,
if
you
could
also
add
councillor
Flaherty
at
this
time,
docket
second
Oh
as
well
as
the
chair.
Thank
you,
madam
clerk.
At
this
time,
dock
at
zero,
four
zero.
Four
five
zero
will
be
place
in
the
Committee
on
education.
K
K
He
had
that
commitment
long
before
he
was
elected
mayor,
so
I
do
want
to
thank
him
for
his
partnership
and
all
of
you
for
the
2014
Home
Rule
that
we
we
did
successfully
pass
again
in
the
spirit
of
collaboration,
since
there
are
so
many
new
faces
here.
We
are
using
the
neighborhoods
that
were
included
in
the
2014
legislation
as
our
starting
point
that
is
sort
of
the
blueprint
for
this
right,
so
the
neighborhoods.
K
Let's
take
them
specifically
that
we
are
that
are
currently
included
in
this
second
Home
Rule
petition
are
Roxbury
Mattapan,
Dorchester,
Hyde,
Park,
Jamaica,
Plain,
Mission,
Hill
and
East
Boston.
Now,
for
those
of
you
who
have
heard
debate
on
this
second
home
rule
previously,
you
know
that
we
are
allocating
licenses
for
Main
streets
and
we're
allocating
licenses
to
neighborhoods,
because
what
we
realized
through
our
last
Home
Rule
petition
is
that
neighborhood
were
still
being
pitted
against
one
another.
K
So
in
this
latest
iteration,
what
we
are
doing
is
instead
of
pitting
Main
streets
against
neighborhoods
and
neighborhood
against
neighborhood
Main
streets
will
have
their
own
allocation,
neighborhoods
will
have
their
own
allocation
and
they
will
be
bankrolled
and
it
will
be
up
to
the
community
to
activate
them
according
to
their
own
desires
and
vision
for
their
neighborhood.
So
as
an
example
Mattapan,
which
is
a
neighborhood,
we
did
not
see
benefit
from
the
first
Home
Rule,
because
no
one
applied
there's
a
lot
of
work.
K
We
have
to
do
to
build
a
bench
there
right
and
so,
with
this
new
legislation,
there
would
be
15
licences
allocated
for
each
neighborhood.
That
would
be
five
five
and
five
over
a
period
of
three
years,
so
for
a
Matapan.
If
no
one
applies
the
first
year,
then
those
licenses
will
bankroll.
If
no
one
applies
the
second
year,
those
licenses
will
bankrolls
so
they
will
be
there
waiting
to
be
activated
so
I
want
this,
and
so
I
should
also
add.
K
I
want
to
thank
our
partners
at
the
state
level
who
have
been
apart
from
the
beginning
of
this
second
Home
Rule
petition,
and
they
have
asked
that
we
send
up
to
them
in
a
min
double
Home,
Rule
petition.
So
again,
this
is
a
blueprint
and
a
starting
point,
because
I
want
to
be
mindful
the
fact
that
we
have
many
new
councilors
on
the
body,
but
I
look
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you
and
our
colleagues
on
the
state
level
to
expand
the
reach
of
this
home
rule
petitioner
again.
K
Ultimately,
what
we
will
send
up
to
the
State
House
is
amendable,
but
we
can
debate
and
talk
about
what
other
neighborhoods,
with
the
partnership
of
the
district
councillors
and
state
representatives
want
to
be
included
to
expand
the
reach
of
this
second
Home
Rule
petition.
The
City
of
Boston
continues
to
grow,
but
income
inequality
and
wealth
disparity
also
continue
to
grow,
and
we
know
the
restaurants
are
critical:
economic,
social
and
cultural
anchors
for
any
neighborhood.
K
You
know
just
as
a
as
a
quick
example,
but
the
demand
continues
to
grow
for
neighborhood
sit-down,
restaurants
with
full
amenities,
and
that
is
why
we
need
to
create
a
new
ceiling
for
the
number
of
licenses
now
I
know.
Many
of
you
are
worried
about
the
devaluing
of
existing
liquor
licenses
and
you
have
every
right
to
feel
uneasy.
I
know
how
much
hard
work
these
families
have
put
into
their
craft
and
their
businesses.
These
are
you
know,
family-run
and
owned
businesses,
but
to
contextualize
this
and
to
be
fair.
K
Our
first
round
of
legislation,
the
going
price
for
a
full
liquor
license
in
2014,
was
$400,000.
You
know,
which
is
incredibly
cost
prohibitive,
and
it's
going
right
back
up
there
right.
So
that's
a
cost,
prohibitive
barrier
to
our
economic
growth
and
development,
and
in
my
opinion,
we
have
always
been
considerate
of
these
concerns
and
which
is
why
we
have
made
it
a
point
to
introduce
legislation
that
sequences
the
onboarding
of
these
licenses.
So
as
not
to
saturate
the
market.
K
We
have
made
every
single
license
in
the
2018
legislation,
non-transferable
meaning
they
are
not
competing
with
transferable
licenses
in
the
market,
and
we
have
staggered
the
creation
of
licenses
over
three
years
again
to
build
in
time
for
adjustments.
Further,
we
have
restricted
80%
of
these
licenses
to
specific
neighborhoods,
meaning
the
new
seaport
or
downtown
bar
will
still
have
to
pay
for
a
transferable
license
again.
The
neighborhoods
included
in
our
original
blueprint
are
Roxbury
Mattapan,
Dorchester,
Hyde,
Park,
Jamaica,
Plain
mission,
Hill
and
East
Boston.
K
These
restricted
licenses,
our
neighborhood,
specific
meaning,
a
license
designated
for
Mattapan,
cannot
be
used
in
East,
Boston
or
anywhere
else
in
the
city,
and
this
legislation
also
creates
a
new
classification
of
licenses
called
umbrella
licenses.
The
goal
of
these
licenses
is
to
protect
large
neighborhood.
I'm,
sorry
is
to
protect
local
neighborhood,
restaurants
from
large-scale
development,
and
we
are
talking
about
very
large
scale
projects.
Only
Hey
full
of
sites
would
actually
qualify
to
apply
for
those
licenses.
K
It
is
also
about
quality
of
life,
so
I
look
forward
to
our
having
a
robust
conversation
with
all
of
you
about
how
we
can
make
this
a
better
home
rule.
I.
Believe
everyone
here
is
aware
of
the
measure
and
I
hope
to
be
able
to
move
right
into
a
working
session,
so
we
can
roll
our
sleeves
up
and
get
right
into
the
details.
K
We
do
have
a
deadline
based
on
the
end
of
the
state
legislative
session
and,
if
fairness
to
our
colleagues
I
want
to
give
them
time
to
debate
and
improve
the
home
rule
before
the
end
of
July
I,
look
forward
to
discussing
this
matter
and
to
working
with
the
chair
to
get
the
conversation
started
again.
I.
Thank
you
for
your
indulgence,
while
offered
a
larger
statement
to
give
some
history
to
our
newer
colleagues
and
to
walk
through
the
changes
in
the
new
proposal.
Thank
you.
H
Wanted
to
first
thank
you
thank
the
maker
for
this
incredible
legislation.
I
couldn't
agree
with
you
more
that
this
is
about
equity.
This
is
about
also
small
business
and
economic
development
in
all
of
our
neighborhoods.
I
also
am
excited
to
work
with
you
about
the
neighborhoods
that
we
choose
to
be
a
part
of
this.
H
I
actually
know
from
your
previous
efforts
that
Charles
Town
has
directly
benefited
already
from
an
expansion
of
our
liquor
licenses,
I
think
in
the
first
go-around,
and
so
it's
wonderful
and
I
think
we
can
work
together
to
make
sure
the
Charles
Town
is
again
and
one
of
the
neighbourhoods
included
in
making
sure
that
they
get
part
of
the
five
additional.
Thank
you
very
much
additional
licenses.
H
I
just
also
wanted
to
say
thank
you
not
only
to
the
maker
I
also
want
to
commend
the
mayor
chief
barrows,
also
for
working
with
you
and
continuing
to
be
committed
to
making
sure
that
we're
expanding
economic
opportunity.
I
also
have
to
thank
my
colleagues
in
the
State
House
rep
Michael
Wits,
rep,
Mike,
Moran
and
rep
madro
and
rep
Danny
Ryan.
These
guys
are
on
my
three
of
the
guys.
Are
on
my
delegation
and
I
know
that
each
one
of
our
neighborhoods
are
looking
for
continued
development
but
at
the
same
time
having
rep
Michael.
H
It's
also
make
sure
the
north
end
wasn't
part
of
the
continued
conversation
about
additional
liquor
licenses
that
we
we
don't
need
there.
I
do
want
to
talk
to
the
point
of
the
devaluation
of
the
liquor
license.
I
think,
to
be
very
frank:
there's
been
an
artificial
valuation
of
liquor
licenses
because
they
were
so
few.
H
They
ended
up
costing
almost
half
a
million
dollars
each
which
actually
furthered
the
inequality
in
neighborhoods
and
making
it
so
that
only
the
rich
and
only
the
people
who
can
get
the
loans
and
all
of
the
people
who
can
get
the
capital
we're
able
to
even
open
a
restaurant
and,
as
you
know,
without
a
liquor
license
many
restaurants.
If
you
can't
serve
beer
and
wine,
even
the
best
food
isn't
gonna
be
enough
to
keep
your
doors
open.
So
this
is
vital
to
the
ability
for
family
businesses
to
thrive
and
I.
J
You
very
much
Madam
President
I'd,
like
to
thank
council
Presley
I'd
like
to
sign
on
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
council
Presley
for
putting
this
forward
again.
Her
steadfastness
on
this
issue
has
been
incredibly
important
and
she
took
the
words
right
out
of
my
mouth.
In
2014
we
passed
this
I
was
happy
to
vote
for
it,
there's
not
a
lot
of
things
that
we
can
say
absolutely
helps
neighborhoods,
but
40
new
businesses
absolutely
helps
neighborhoods
and
I'm.
A
G
Should
you
be
interested
and
what
breweries
have
to
offer,
but
because
of
the
way
that
their
licensing
is,
is
set
up
with
a
manufacturer's
license
and
a
pouring
license.
They
are
only
allowed
to
sell
the
beer
that
they
brew
and
as
great
as
that
beer
can
be.
It
does
often
create
a
barrier
for
those
breweries
to
be
stable
and
successful
over
the
long
term.
G
So
I'd
like
to
see
if
we
can
help
them
be
more
competitive
and
more
successful
as
businesses
and
offer
some
support
so
that
they
can
diversify
their
offerings
just
slightly
whether
it's
a
house
rather
house
white
and
a
cider
to
compliment
their
in-house
brews
I,
think
that
would
be
very
helpful
to
those,
and
you
know,
there's
one
in
Dorchester,
there's
one
in
JP
and
there's
a
few
others
ending
popping
up
across
the
city.
We
also
have
some
distilleries
that
are
facing
a
similar
challenge
with
their
businesses.
G
A
L
Janie
and
I
just
want
to
offer
my
deep
gratitude
to
the
maker.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
advocacy
on
this
issue.
It
is
a
very
important
issue,
certainly
impacts.
My
district
I
also
want
to
offer
appreciation
to
the
administration
for
all
of
the
past
work
on
this,
as
people
have
already
noted,
this
is
an
economic
justice
issue.
It's
not
just
about
equity,
it
is
really
an
economic
justice
issue
and
how
we're
able
to
build
wealth.
L
So,
as
you
know,
chair
as
the
Small
Business
Committee,
small
business
and
Consumer
Affairs
I
think
this
is
so
important.
With
my
district
in
particular,
we
have
pockets
where
we
have
restaurants-
and
you
know
thriving
business
districts
because
of
that
because
of
the
liquor
licenses
that
previously
existed
because
of
the
liquor
licenses.
That
came
a
couple
of
years
back
and
so
I'm
excited
about
the
possibilities
and
the
opportunities
you
know.
L
My
neighborhood
of
Roxbury
in
particular,
has
been
you
know
over
time,
a
desert
when
it
comes
to
restaurants,
but
you
know,
thankfully,
because
of
the
earlier
work
and
because
of
your
leadership
on
this
issue.
There
are
restaurants
that
now
you
can
go
sit
down,
you
know
with
your
family,
have
a
nice
glass
of
wine
and
a
delicious
meal,
and
it's
a
game
changer,
and
so
this
is
huge.
This
is
a
huge
issue,
certainly
for
my
district,
but
for
all
neighborhoods
in
the
city
of
Boston.
L
If
we're
talking
about
really
having
thriving
commercial
in
this
business
districts,
where
small
business
owners
can
open
up
restaurants
and
build
wealth,
and
so
just
a
couple
of
examples,
sue
a
joint
deadly
cafe,
which
I
know
was
a
fan,
favorite
a
Taronga
deadly
dough
all
were
able
to
benefit
from
before,
and
some
of
those
were
restaurants
that
we
had
here
in
our
chamber
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
or
maybe
a
month
ago
now
for
our
Black
History
celebration
of
black
immigrants.
So
this
is
just
a
very
important
issue.
L
A
E
You,
madam
chair
and
I'm
first,
to
want
to
thank
council
Presley
for
putting
this
forward
again.
A
couple
things
that
at
points
that
I
wanted
to
make
sign
me
on
first,
is
with
one
of
the
concerns
that
the
the
industry
has
would
be
the
size
of
those
restaurants
so
like
when
you
say
one
liquor
license
a
twenty
or
forty
seat.
Restaurant
is
a
lot
different
from
a
400-seat.
E
I
think
if
we
took
that
language
out
of
there,
that
would
give
us
City
Council's
as
District
Council's,
more
more
sway
when
it
comes
to
those
large
developers
coming
to
us
to
have
to
negotiate
with
us
instead
of
it
being
at
the
you
know,
just
saying
if
you,
if
you
develop
a
million
square
feet,
we're
going
to
give
you
licenses.
I
would
advocate
that.
E
Maybe
we
look
at
that
language
and
possibly
take
it
out
of
there
and
with
the
caveat
that,
when
you
negotiate
with
us
that
will
get
that
will
get
that
piece
of
it
done
for
them,
but
it
shouldn't
I'm
concerned
about.
You
know
the
large
developments
just
because
you're
developing
a
million
or
seven
hundred
square
feet,
whatever
it's
gonna,
be
automatically
get
liquor
license.
So
those
are
just
two
thoughts
of
mine
but
I
think
it's
great
work,
my
neighborhoods
absolute
all
my
neighborhoods
have
benefited
from
this
and
I.
Thank
you
for
that.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
A
C
You,
madam
there's
two
things
that
I
love,
one
is
really
diving
into
the
weeds
on
wonky
legislation
and
the
other
is
going
out
for
a
nice
meal
in
a
neighborhood
restaurant,
so
Thank
You,
councillor
Presley
for
marrying
two
of
my
passions
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
in
this
you've
done
remarkable
work.
I've
been
proud
to
stand
behind
you
every
step
of
the
way
and
we
have
seen
a
direct
result
of
a
good
government
good
work
and
how
it
has
benefited
the
neighborhoods.
C
You
know
for
many
many
years
there
was
this
misconception
that
more
than
one
sit-down
restaurant
in
the
same
block
in
the
same
neighborhood
would
adversely
affect
the
other,
and
it's
in
you
know
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
saw
it
in
council
McCarthy's
district
Roslindale
square,
which
couldn't
be
more
different
now
than
it
was
when
I
was
growing
up
twenty
plus
years
ago,
because
what
happens
is
when
you
have
multiple
restaurants.
You
have
people,
then
that
are
gonna
shop
locally.
C
While
they
wait
for
their
table,
they're
gonna
go
to
a
flower
shop
or
a
wine
store
or
some
other
supermarket.
It's
gonna
make
the
neighborhood
safer,
you're
gonna
have
more
activity
bustling
at
night.
It's
going
to
help
the
economy.
You're
gonna
have
jobs,
it's
gonna
help.
Obviously
our
tax
rolls,
so
the
benefits
are
enormous.
We've
seen
it
obvious
thing:
Jamaica
Plain
we're
seeing
at
West
Roxbury
too,
but
not
far
enough,
so
I.
C
Ask
that
my
name
be
added
I'll,
be
fighting
to
include
West
Roxbury
in
this,
when
I
campaigned
for
this
seat
in
2010,
one
of
the
most
repeated
things
on
the
doors
as
it
related
to
the
business
district
was
we
had
too
many
banks
in
West
Roxbury,
not
enough
restaurants.
We
have
seen
a
growth,
but
there's
still
more
that
we
need
to
do
so
hope
we
can
include
West,
Roxbury
I,
look
forward
to
working
on
it
and
thank
you
again,
council
Presley,
for
your
leadership
on
this.
A
Thank
You
council
Malley,
madam
clerk,
if
you
could
add
council
Mally's,
name
councillor
co-moh
councillor,
Flaherty
councillor,
Flynn
councillor,
woo
councillors
a
come
as
well
as
the
chair
dock
at
zero.
Four
five
one
we'll
be
placing
the
committee
on
government
operations
moving
on
to
personnel
orders,
madam
clerk,
if
you
could
read
doc
at
zero,
four
or
five.
Thank
you
doctor.
A
Chair
moves
for
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
dock
at
zero,
four
five,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
dock
at
zero.
Four
five
two
has
been
passed:
I'm
informed
by
the
clerk
that
there
are
two
late
file
matters
earlier.
We
actually
added
one
of
those
we
took
it
out
of
order
to
the
agenda,
but
we
have
one
more
hearing
instead
well,
which,
in
the
absence
of
objection,
will
be
added
to
the
agenda
hearing
and
seeing
no
objections.
A
A
A
So
this
hearing
order
is
similar
to
something
that
he
filed
in
the
past,
where
he
held
a
hearing
at
the
Suffolk
County
house
of
correction
was
the
first
time
it
had
ever
been
done
to
look
at
reentry
programs
and
how
the
city
of
Boston
could
do
a
better
job
with
respect
to
these
programs,
and
so
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
that
previous
work
I
also
see
the
importance
of
continuing
it.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
councillor
McCarthy,
who
will
be
a
partner
in
this
work
as
well.
A
Whoo
laughter
have
to
remind
folks
in
the
community
that
he
is
the
chair
of
the
Committee
on
Public
Safety
in
criminal
justice.
I
am
the
vice
chair
and
we
actually
do
see
ourselves
as
partner
partners
in
that
work,
and
so
I
want
to
acknowledge
his
partnership
and
some
of
these
discussions
as
well,
particularly
with
a
recent
reentry
organization
that
came
to
meet
with
us
about
some
legislation
and
some
things
they
have
going
on
at
the
State
House.
But
I
think
the
hearing
order
is
pretty
self-explanatory.
A
It's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
go
into
the
Suffolk
County
house
of
correction
in
partnership
with
Suffolk
County
Sheriff
Thompkins,
to
hear
about
the
work
they
are
doing
internally
in
that
space,
some
of
the
programming
they
have
going
on
currently
to
hear
about
the
benefits
of
such
programming,
particularly
in
a
space
like
the
house
of
correction,
but
also
to
talk
about
ways
in
which
the
city
of
Boston
can
can
continue
to
partner.
In
that
work.
I
held
a
hearing
last
term
on
a
program
called
overcoming
the
odds,
and
we
were
unfortunate
in
that.
A
We
weren't
able
to
get
funding
for
that
program
from
the
city,
but
it
did
prompt
a
bigger
discussion,
which
is
what
is
the
role
the
city
of
Boston
should
play
in
funding
programs
that
provide
reentry
services,
whether
it's
mental
health
support
housing,
job
training,
other
necessities
that
folks
who
are
coming
out
of
the
system,
men
and
women-
need
in
order
to
rebuild
their
lives.
The
majority
of
folks
that
are
getting
out
of
not
just
the
houses
of
Correction
across
the
Commonwealth,
but
also
the
prisons,
are
coming
to
the
city
of
Boston.
A
When
we
talk
about
reentry,
we
are
largely
talking
about
a
big
portion
of
residents
who
may
not
necessarily
live
in
the
city
of
Boston,
but
the
first
step
they
take
is
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
I,
always
use
a
personal
story
here
and
I
got
permission
to
do
this.
My
older
brother,
when
he
got
out,
got
out
of
a
facility
with
nothing.
No
tea
pass,
no
transportation
and
no
clothes,
not
a
not
a
dollar
zero
and
had
to
coordinate
with
him.
A
He
actually
brought
someone
else
with
him
who
was
living
in
the
western
part
of
the
state,
but
didn't
have
the
resources
to
get
back
out
to
the
western
part
of
the
state
and
they
needed
to
get
basic
things
like
driver's
license
your
Social
Security
card.
All
of
those
things
no,
and
don't
get
me
wrong.
He
put
in
the
hard
work
and
continues
to
do
that.
So
what
role
can
we
play
to
support
these
returning
citizens
and,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
majority
of
folks
who
are
getting
out
of
these
facilities
are
coming
out?
A
They
will
be
on
the
street,
they
will
be
in
our
community,
so
the
best
investment
is
to
invest
in
them
when
they
are
getting
out.
Of
course,
the
the
even
better
way
to
do
it
is
while
they're
in
the
facilities
and
I
think
sheriff.
Thompkins
is
an
a
really
incredible
job
of
thinking
outside
the
box
on
how
you
deliver
services
within
a
facility.
I
look
forward
to
my
colleagues
participating
in
the
hearing.
A
There
are
some
logistics
and
we
will
make
sure
that
the
community
knows
about
that,
because
it
is
at
the
House
of
Corrections,
so
you
have
to
bring
an
ID
and
you
have
to
go
through
security,
and
there
are
different
security
protocols
that
folks
have
to
follow,
and
we
will
make
sure
that
folks
have
that
information.
But
I'm
excited
about
this
conversation.
I'm
also
excited
for
the
possibility
of
it.
A
They
have
done
a
lot
of
incredible
work,
as
well
as
in
partnership,
of
course,
with
the
mayor
and
setting
up
the
office
of
re-entry
and
making
sure
there's
a
one-stop
shop
for
folks
who
are
getting
out
to
be
able
to
get
some
of
this
documentation
in
the
things
they
need
in
order
to
be
successful
and
I
envision
them
be
participating
in
this
hearing
as
well.
So
thank
you.
Thank
You
councillor,
seola
Thank,.
K
Thank
you,
mr.
vice
president,
and
come
in
the
maker,
and
thank
you
for
putting
this
forward
and
look
forward
to
participating
and
just
reiterating
the
need
for
us
to
have
a
conversation
about
how
we
ensure
gender
responsive
practices
to
support
people
in
their
transition.
There
really
is
no
one-size-fits-all
approach
and
we
have
more
women
incarcerated
than
ever
before,
and
we
have
to
be
very
intentional
and
how
we
figure
out
how
to
meet
the
unique
needs
of
women.
You
know
physically
emotionally
psychologically
and
socially.
K
O
You
have
a
good
plan
before
they
actually
get
out
now
what
that
would
include
mental
health,
counseling
job
training,
a
stable
housing
plan,
short
term
in
long
term.
You
know
some
family
support
as
well,
so
I
think
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
learn
about
the
issue
and
hopefully
make
some
progress
on
it.
So
I
want
to
add
my
name
in
my
name
to
the
proposal.
Thank.
L
Q,
mr.
vice
chair,
please
add
my
name.
I
also
want
to
thank
councilor
president
and
councillor
McCarthy
for
their
leadership
on
this
and
acknowledged
former
district
city,
councilor
Tito
Jackson,
for
the
work
that
he
has
done
on
this.
This
is
a
huge
issue,
certainly
impacting
my
district
district,
7
and
and
residents
throughout
the
city
of
Boston.
L
Mass
incarceration
is
pretty
much
just
devastating
families
and
communities
throughout
our
country,
and
we
need
to
do
more
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
to
help
people
get
back
on
their
feet
and
reenter
their
communities
in
a
way
that
they
can
be
successful
again.
This
is
another
economic
justice
issue,
but
it
is
also
an
issue
around
how
we
can
stabilize
our
families
so
I'm
just
proud
to
stand
with
you.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
again
add
my
name
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
the
hearing,
Thank.
G
G
We
are
as
a
city
for
sure,
and
it's
in
the
end.
It's
our
responsibility.
So
as
much
as
you
know,
we
talk
about
municipal
issues.
We
can
talk
about
County
issues,
we
can
talk
about
state
responsibility
in
the
end,
those
are
our
residents
and
we
need
to
do
what
we
need
to
do
to
support
that
work
and
I
think
this
is
a
great
great
way
to
to
do
that.
Thank
you.
Public
Safety.
A
A
A
A
Moving
right
along
the
consent
agenda,
I
am
informed
by
the
clerk
that
we
have
four
late
file
matters
which,
in
the
absence
of
objection,
will
be
added
to
the
consent
agenda
hearing
and
seeing
no
objections.
The
matters
are
so
added
at
this
time.
The
chair
moves
to
adopt
for
adoption
of
the
consent
agenda,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it.
The
consent
agenda
has
been
adopted.
K
A
Thank
you,
I
guess,
I
guess
I
should
give
some
point
of
a
clarification
there.
So
one
of
the
things
no,
no,
no.
You
did
not
actually
because
I
gave
no
clarification
or
anything.
So
thank
you
for
being
the
test.
I
appreciate
that
councilor
Pressley,
but
I
know
that
we
asked
for
unanimous
consent
to
just
ask
to
say
a
few
words
and
I've
been
talking
to
various
colleagues
and
sometimes
people
care
a
curious
beforehand.
What
it
is
you
might
want
to
talk
about
so
I
think
going
forward.
K
Meeting
and
I
don't
mean
to
filibuster,
but
I
just
wanted
to
close
the
loop.
Last
week,
I
spoke
about
the
number
of
our
youth
that
will
be
going
up
to
Washington
DC
for
the
March
for
our
lives
and
again
we
are
so
inspired
by
the
leadership
of
Parkland
youth
and
what
they've
been
doing
in
the
face
of
tragedy.
We
are
similarly
inspired
by
our
whoo
youth,
who
have
been
working
to
foster
peace
in
communities
and
so
often
for
communities
disproportionately
impacted
by
gun
violence.
K
God
bless
you
in
partnership
with
an
organization
called,
we
are
better
together:
Ruth
Rollins
and
Leonard
Lee.
We
have
four
buses:
totaling
220
youth
and
one
plane
of
45
youth
that
will
be
going
to
represent
our
Bay
State
as
well
as
40
adult
chaperones.
They
will
be
departing
on
Friday
night
at
11:30
and
I'll
be
going
to
send
them
off.
You're.
K
Certainly
all
welcome
to
join
us
in
comments
we're
in
Dorchester
at
Grace,
Church
of
All
Nations
located
at
451
Washington
Street
I
also
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
the
Gabby
Giffords
foundation
and
skidaddle
for
their
very
generous
fiscal
sponsorship,
and
then
just
if
folks,
you
know,
aren't
up
for
a
Friday
night
sending
a
bus
off
at
11:30
p.m.
in
Cottonwood
Square.
If
you
would
like
to
contribute
to
this
effort,
there
is
a
link
at
the
WWDC
lipstick
org.
The
fundraising
goal
was
$40,000.
K
We
are
currently
at
30,000
and
again,
if
you
make
a
donation
of
$10,
you
are
sponsoring
one
Youth.
You
can
also
make
in-kind,
donations
and
drop
those
off
of
my
office.
It
would
be
very
expensive
for
the
kids
to
overnight
in
DC,
so
they
will
actually
be
on
an
eight
ride,
bus
trip.
Then
they
will
rally
in
protest
and
then
get
back
on
a
bus
and
come
back.
K
H
H
Successful
hearing
that
we
had
last
week
in
Charlestown
about
the
one
Charlestown
project,
as
you
know,
it's
the
largest
housing
project
in
New
England
with
eleven
hundred
units
and
I
just
wanted
to
also
thank
my
colleagues,
councillor
Wu
councilor
Pressley
council
obby
George
for
coming
out
to
support
and
to
come
to
hear
directly
from
the
residents
of
Charlestown
about
how
this
huge
project
is
going
to
impact
us
for
years.
Specifically.
H
I
also
wanted
to
thank
the
central
staff
and
the
amazing
work
that
they
did
coming
out
to
the
Knights
of
Columbus
in
Charlestown
and
also
representative
Dan
Ryan,
who
came
there
and
what
we
heard
were
a
lot
of
different
things.
There's
a
real
concern
about
this
process,
but
most
important
is
that
the
residents
of
the
BHA
are
at
the
table
every
single
step
of
the
way,
helping
them
make
the
real
decisions,
because
it's
their
lives
that
are
directly
impacted
by
this.
H
They
will
be
the
ones
that
are
going
to
be
displaced,
they're
gonna,
be
the
ones
fighting
to
come
back
to
Charlestown.
The
questions
that
we
had
addressed
is
about
the
wraparound
services.
Looking
at
how
we
can
ensure
that
students
who
are
enrolled
in
bps
schools
can
continue
to
be
enrolled
in
them,
despite
moving
to
other
places.
H
So,
in
any
event,
I
just
wanted
to
give
this
update
on
the
hearing
order
of
0
to
9
3
about
the
hearing
that
we
had
on
March
15th
and
thank
you
again.
It
was
wildly
successful.
We
had
close
to
200
people
there
and
I.
Think
it's
something!
That's
going
to
start
I.
Can
a
conversation
and
I
ask
that
this
remaining
committee,
as
we're
still
going
through
this
conversation,
Thank.
A
You,
council
headwords,
thank
you
before
I
recognize
some
counselor
sabe
Jorge
I
just
want
to
quickly
acknowledge
another
young
person
who
is
here
in
the
chamber.
Councillor
Janie's
chief
of
staff
Samuel
has
his
son
Alden,
who
is
here,
who
is
a
sixth
grader
at
the
Quincy
Upper
School
in
Chinatown,
and
so,
like
I,
said
it's
important
to
acknowledge
our
young
people,
especially
the
young
people
of
people
who
actually
work
here.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
and
Samuel.
Thank
you
for
all
the
hard
work
you
do
for
councilor
Janie
councillor,
sabi
George.
G
You,
madam

fighting
for
what
she
believed
in
for
that
today.
I
want
all
of
Boston
to
say
her
name.
G
G
Marielle
dedicated
her
life
to
fighting
for
favela
residents,
many
of
whom
are
afro-brazilian
like
herself
and
speaking
out
against
social
injustice
and
police
brutality
they
face
on
a
basis.
She
also
fought
for
the
women
of
Brazil,
particularly
afro-brazilian
women,
who
consistently
faced
constantly
faced
extreme
violence,
racism
and
sexism.
A
recent
study
showed
that
young
black
women
in
Brazil
are
twice
as
likely
to
suffer
from
murder
as
their
white
counterparts.
She
dedicated
her
career
as
a
Councilwoman
to
helping
those
populations.
She
led
the
House
Committee
on
women.
G
She
led
the
committee
that
tracks
Rio's
military
intervention
just
the
day
before
her
death.
She
publicly
publicly
denounced
the
murder
of
a
young
man
killed
by
police
in
a
favela
as
as
a
City
Council.
We
recognize
that
the
murder
of
this
extraordinary,
innovative
black
gay
public
servant
is
devastating
not
only
to
our
family,
community
and
city,
but
also
the
world.
As
a
city
council
made
up
of
six
women
women
of
color,
we
recognize
that
we
will
not
be
silent
and
accept
this
attempt
to
silence
women
of
colors
voices.
G
G
We
ask
you
to
celebrate
her
life
by
remembering
the
commitment
she
made
to
public
service,
recognizing
her
devotion
to
human
rights,
the
human
rights
of
women
and
men
of
the
Rio,
and,
to
please
say
her
name,
Marielle
Franco
I
would
like
to
leave
you
today
with
the
words
that
Marielle
left
with
a
group
of
black
women.
She
was
addressing
at
a
roundtable
discussion
before
she
was
slain.
It
was
a
quote
from
Audrey
Lord
I
am
NOT
free,
while
any
woman
is
unfree.
Even
when
her
shackles
are
very
different
from
my
own.
