C
D
You,
madam
president,
today
I
have
the
pleasure
of
introducing
father
Marcos
Enrique's,
father,
father
Henry
Kay
grew
up
in
Spain
the
eldest
of
eleven
children
in
a
in
his
family
when
he
was
12.
His
parents
offered
to
serve
as
a
mission
as
a
missionary.
Family
kondal
are
asked
for
two
Spanish
families
to
come
to
Boston,
to
assist
with
Spanish
apostolate,
so
father
and
Rico's
family
relocated,
not
knowing
any
English.
He
went
to
high
school
in
East
Boston
received
his
bachelor's
degree
in
philosophy
from
Catholic
University
of
America
and
a
master's
degree
from
Boston
College.
D
He
was
a
director
of
admission
admissions
at
North
Cambridge
Catholic,
High
School,
which
later
became
Cristo
Rey
high
school,
which
is
now
in
Savin
Hill
a
position
he
held
for
seven
years
to
which
he
credits.
One
of
the
reasons
he
entered,
st.
John's,
Seminary
father
Marcos
entered
the
seminary
in
2015
was
own
gain
into
the
priesthood
in
May
2009,
teen,
father
Marcos.
Current
currently
is
the
parochial
vicar
at
st.
marks
in
st.
Ambrose
collaborative
in
Dorchester,
father
Michaels.
E
God
of
my
father's
Lord
of
Mercy,
you
have
made
all
things
by
your
word
and,
in
your
wisdom,
have
established
man
to
rule
the
creatures
produced
by
you
to
govern
the
world
in
holiness
and
justice
and
to
render
judgment
in
integrity
of
heart.
Give
me
wisdom
the
attendant
at
your
throne
and
reject
me
not
from
among
your
children
for
I.
Am
your
servant,
the
son
of
your
handmaid,
a
man
weak
and
short-lived
and
lacking
in
comprehension
of
judgment
and
of
laws.
E
Indeed,
the
one
be
perfect
among
the
sons
of
men.
If
wisdom
who
comes
from
you
be
not
with
him,
he
shall
be
held
in
no
esteem
now
with
you
his
wisdom,
who
knows
your
works
and
was
present
when
you
made
the
world
who
understands
what
is
pleasing
in
your
eyes
and
what
is
conformable
with
your
commands,
send
her
forth
from
your
holy
heavens
and
from
your
glorious
throne
dispatch
her
that
she
may
be
with
me
and
work
with
me.
But
I
may
know
what
is
your
pleasure
for?
F
So
good
morning,
everyone
I
am
very
proud
to
be
with
my
colleagues
here
today
and
to
welcome
miss
Vasquez,
her
daughter,
miss
Vasquez,
Yvonne,
Espinosa
Madrigal
of
the
lawyers
Committee
for
civil
rights
as
well,
Janelle,
Dempsey
and
Jake
Leibovich
to
join
us
for
a
special
presentation.
I
think
we
all
read
in
the
news
a
few
weeks
ago,
when
Miss
Vasquez
and
her
daughter,
when
lado
miss
Vasquez,
were
in
East,
Boston
speaking
Spanish
and
then
were
attacked.
G
Good
afternoon
I
have
the
distinct
pleasure
of
representing
East
Boston,
where
60%
of
my
constituents
are
Latino
and
so
East
Boston's
history
has
been
about
immigrants.
It's
been
about
newcomers,
it's
been
about
being
here
to
start
something
and
to
be
welcomed
into
our
beautiful
country,
and
so
when
these
incidents
happen,
we
need
to
stand
together
as
a
City
Council
to
say
you
are
not
only
welcome,
but
we're
excited
that
you're
here
and
it's
unfortunate
that
that
ugliness
have
occurred
at
all
in
Boston.
G
It's
really
unfortunate
to
happen
in
in
my
neighborhood
at
that,
but
today
is
a
celebration
of
the
strength
of
these
two
women,
miss
Vasquez
and
mrs.
Vasquez
standing
here
today
too,
not
just
about
them,
but
for
everybody
else
who
is
voiceless,
who
may
have
experienced
any
form
of
hatred
who
didn't
come
forward.
It's
their
strength
that
we
are
celebrating.
I
also
want
to
thank
a
seven
and
the
local
police
officers
who
did
respond
and
did
help
with
the
charges
of
the
hate
crime
and
investigated.
G
So
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
our
community,
our
police
officers,
our
community
police
officers,
especially
have
been
there
from
day
one
for
our
immigrant
population,
so
I'm
here
as
their
city
councilor
I'm
here
with
my
colleagues
in
the
City
Council
I,
want
to
thank
again
councilor
Wu
for
her
leadership
and
councillor
Mejia
for
her
consistent
and
constant
support.
Not
only
the
people
in
East
Boston,
but
all
people
in
in
Boston.
So
thank
you
and
I
want
to
again.
Thank
you,
mrs.
best
Fez
and
mrs.
best
class
for
your
incredible
strength.
H
H
I'm
really
excited
to
be
here
in
support
of
this
initiative
and
this
well
first,
let
me
just
say
that
this
councilor,
who
asked
me
if
I,
could
say
a
few
words
just
a
few
minutes
ago,
so
I'm
really
taking
my
time
to
ground
myself
and
making
sure
that
I
utilize
this
mic
to
amplify
the
importance
of
recognizing
that
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
When
it
comes
to
issues
of
race
and
discrimination,
we
really
need
to
lead
with
our
hearts.
H
H
So
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
take
their
leadership
and
their
mandate
for
us
as
city
councilors
and
as
a
city
to
lead
with
integrity
and
so
counsel,
who
I
appreciate
you
inviting
me
to
participate
in
this
conversation
and
I
hope,
I
didn't
hog
of
the
mic,
but
muchas
gracias,
por
todo,
no
comparison,
no
solamente,
para
ustedes
nice,
my
poor
opal
nuestra
gente
que
ahora
my
most
on
sufriendo
por
que
tiene
demasiado,
esta
aqui,
so
Gracia.
Thank
you.
I
I
K
L
My
name
is
Janelle
Dempsey
I'm,
an
attorney
representing
the
Vasquez
family,
on
behalf
of
lawyers
for
civil
rights
in
center.
Presente
would
like
to
thank
president
Janie
and
all
of
City
Council,
particularly
counselors,
Edwards
and
Wu
for
hosting
us
today.
We
also
want
to
thank
councilor
Mejia
for
her
support
through
the
committee
on
civil
rights.
Having
the
Vasquez
family
here
is
important,
because
survivors
are
often
not
heard
or
seen.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
raise
awareness
on
the
importance
of
fighting
hate
in
our
city.
Thank
you
for
your
support.
B
C
Thank
you
so
much
counselors
mejia,
counselors,
edwards
and
counselor
wu
at
this
time.

you

It's

to
be
made,

of
the

will
stand
as

Association

ought

Thank.
C
M
You
I,
we
held
a
hearing
on
Friday
May
of
March
6th
on
both
these
dockets,
so
these
are
companion.
Dockets
one
is
to
take
money
out
of
the
collective
bargaining
Reserve,
where
it
was
placed
in
while
waiting
for
collective
bargaining
and
then
to
move
it
in
to
actually
fund
the
new
contract.
That's
been
reached
with
the
traffic
supervisors,
so
these
are
folks
who
are
helping
our
students
around
the
city
across
the
street
and
the
council
will
notice.
That's
it's
a
small
sum
of
money.
That's
because
these
workers
are
doing
this
work
part-time.
M
It's
you
know
an
hour
and
a
half
of
the
morning,
an
hour
and
a
half
an
afternoon,
the
contract
that
was
agreed
between
the
Union
and
the
administration
lines
up
with
the
whole
sort
of
round
of
collective
bargaining
arrangements
that
we've
seen
over
the
last
few
years
with
the
other
unions
in
the
city.
So
this
is
a
2
percent
raise
and
the
creation
of
an
additional
step.
M
The
council
heard
from
the
budget
director,
Justin,
starett
and
I,
was
joined
by
councillor
Flynn
councillor,
asabi,
George
council,
president
Janey.
Hopefully
no-one
else
and
I
think
it
was
a
productive
hearing.
It's
a
it's
a
short
contract,
it's
just
for
the
year
that
is
largely
already
gone,
and
what
it
will
do
is
to
get
this
union
into
line
with
the
whole
set
of
collective
bargaining
agreements,
which
are
all
going
to
open
up
for
the
city
to
negotiate
starting
July
1st.
So
it's
sort
of
it's
part
of
completing
that
complement.
M
C
N
You
Madame
president,
and
thank
you
to
council
block
for
a
great
hearing.
As
council
block
stated,
the
traffic
supervisors
play
a
critical
role
in
the
education
of
our
children,
they're
out
on
the
front
lines
on
many
dangerous
crosswalks
in
our
city
crossing
our
children
crossing
our
parents.
They
don't
make
all
that
much
money.
This
is
a
modest
increase.
They
should
be
getting
paid
more,
but
it
is
it
is.
N
C
You
so
much
now,
as
I
said
earlier,
we're
going
to
take
each
docket
separately,
so
we'll
begin
with
docket

0

councillor

C

Thank

Madam
president,
yesterday
the
Committee
on
Environment
sustainability
and
Parks
held
a
hearing
on
docket
number
zero
one,
nine
three
to
discuss
the
capital
improvements
from
McConnell
Park
in
Dorchester
I
want
to
thank
my
dear
colleagues
and
friends,
the
district
to
city
councilor,
as
well
as
the
District
three
city,
councilor
and
host
city
councilor
of
this
particular
Park
for
attending
and
giving
their
critical
input.
I
also
wanted
to
thank
Commissioner,
Ryan
Woods
and
Aldo
Garen
Senior
Planner
for
the
parks
department
for
really
doing
a
terrific
succinct
job
of
explaining
what
is
happening
here.
O
Obviously,
it
goes
without
saying.
I
support
this
wholeheartedly.
I
know
all
of
you
will,
if
you
weren't
at
the
hearing.
If
you
certainly
followed
along
this,
will
be
absolutely
terrific
for
a
wonderful
Park,
a
popular
Park
in
Savin
Hill.
It's
going
to
make
it
more
inclusive
for
more
folks,
kids,
particularly
having
a
challenge.
You're
bald
filled
for
kids,
who
may
use
a
wheelchair
may
have
some
mobility
issues
to
allow
them
to
take
part
of
such
a
great
Boston
Park.
O
To
add
the
resiliency
piece,
with
more
trees,
with
using
some
green
space
as
a
way
to
offset
some
of
the
flooding
that
occurs,
of
course,
can
occur
with
a
park
that
abuts
a
body
of
water.
This
is
really
exciting.
It's
a
million
dollars
from
the
state
I
think
the
overall
projects
gonna
be
about
three
million
dollars
in
our
Dear
Colleague
District
three
as
well
as
other
colleagues,
have
been
fighting
for
that
money
in
the
capital
budget.
O
So
this
is
just
one
part
of
it,
but
it
is
an
absolutely
crucial
and
a
critical
part
if
done
right
construction.
If
we
vote
on
this
today,
construction
can
begin
in
earnest
this
spring
and
the
project
is
estimated
to
be
completed
by
June
of
2021.
It's
just
a
great
project
in
something
we
should
be
doing.
It's
a
great
expression.
Parks
are
for
people
and
I
fully
agree
with
that.
O
We
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
fill
that
their
use,
that
it's
a
great
meeting
place
a
backyard
of
a
city
of
an
urban
oasis
like
Boston,
but
parks
are
also
for
our
planet,
so
any
way
that
we
can
build
better
parks
that
address
that
sustainability
and
resiliency
piece
is
a
homerun.
This
is
something
I'm
very
proud,
look
forward
to
joining
all
of
you
and
certainly
does
the
District
three
counts
are
next
June
for
the
groundbreaking.
So
thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
C
D
You,
madam
president,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
chair
for,
for
the
hearing
yesterday
was
it
was.
It
was
good
news.
This
was
a
pop
that
I
grew
up
playing
baseball
in
and
and
to
be
able
to
have
it
done
now.
As
pretty
is
it's
pretty
special,
it
shows
the
commitment
that
this
administration
has
to
the
PAC's,
not
just
to
my
neighborhoods
but
all
across
the
city
they're.
Actually
using
this
this
money
for
resiliency
measures.
D
Last
year
the
whole
pack
flooded,
we
had
I
think
close
to
a
foot
of
water
in
the
entire
park,
so
that
comes
at
a
good
time,
then
also
the
challenger
field.
We
have
a
challenge,
a
league
down
there,
I,
don't
know
if
anybody's
ever
seen
a
challenger
league,
but
it's
it's
literally
kids
that
that
may
be
in
wheelchairs
or
may
be
on
crutches,
and
we
allow
them
to
get
out
on
the
field
and
run
and
play
baseball.
Have
experience?
Is
that
being
an
able-bodied
person?
D
O
O
C
N
You,
madam
president,
madam
president,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
council,
O'malley
and
councillor
Baker
for
their
work
in
the
mayor's
office
as
well
on
saturdays.
I
do
go
down
to
the
south
shore
at
times
to
watch
the
challenger
baseball
wave.
My
nephew
plays
in
one
of
the
league's
down
there
and
there's
nothing
better
than
watching
a
child
with
special
needs,
get
up
to
bat
in
a
wheelchair
or
with
crutches
and
try
to
hit
the
ball
and
run
the
bases.
N
So
it's
a
great
it'd,
be
great
for
the
young
people
of
Washington
that
have
that
have
special
needs
issues
to
be
able
to
enjoy
a
game
of
baseball
and
that's
what
that's
what
this
city
is
all
about,
making
sure
there
are
opportunities
for
everybody,
including
those
with
with
disabilities.
So
thank
you
to
the
mayor's
office,
the
parks
department
and
my
colleagues
as
well.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
C
Thank
You
councillor
Flynn

Q
As
many
of
you
know,
Austin
is
a
neighborhood
like
no
none
other,
exactly
the
only
neighborhood
in
the
entire
nation.
As
far
as
we
know
that
it's
actually
named
for
an
artist
Washington
Alston,
it
is
known
as
rock
city
for
all
the
garage
and
basement
shows
that
occurred
there.
It's
a
place
for
artists
such
as
Aerosmith
got
their
start
in
a
small
Commonwealth,
Avenue
apartment,
and
every
day
its
artists
population
is
adds
life
to
our
neighborhood.
Q
Many
live
than
live
music
venues
which
really
define
Austin
as
a
place,
a
very
special
place
within
our
city
of
Boston,
and
therefore
like
the
jewel
that
it
is,
we
need
to
harness
that
and
have
it
recognized
as
an
art
as
Austin
as
a
as
an
arts,
innovation,
district
I
want
my
office
and
this
assembled
body
of
counselors
to
help
in
the
creation
of
an
arts
and
innovation
district
in
Austin
Village
area
in
particular.
This
area
has
was
proved.
Q
This
idea
was
promoted
by
a
discussion
with
my
colleagues
co-sponsor,
a
baker,
as
he's
worked
with
the
Vietnamese
community
in
fields
corner
just
establish,
Little
Saigon,
and
then
they
also
spoke
with
constant
O'malley,
but
the
Latin
Quarter
creation
and
JP,
and
for
the
folks
involved
in
the
arts
community
in
Ulsan
Brighton.
The
idea
of
having
an
arts
center
arts
culture,
a
cultural
district
in
in
in
Ulsan
sort
of
seems
very
appropriate.
Q
So
tomorrow,
I
will
be
discussing
the
idea
further
with
Commissioner
Ortega
and
the
arts
department,
and
over
the
coming
months.
I
will
work
with
residence
in
Austin
Village,
the
artists
community
and
several
other
nonprofits,
such
as
Austin
Main
streets
and
local
businesses,
to
develop
interest
and
come
up
with
plans
to
move
this
forward
this
process.
So
thank
you
and
I
look
forward
to
your
support
on
this
initiative
and
please
come
visit
Ulsan.
It's
really
has
to
be
thank.
C
D
You,
madam
president,
I'm
normally
not
this
chatty,
sorry
for
all
the
talk
today,
I'm
happy
to
be
partners
with
with
council
Braden
in
Austin
I
think
I
left
at
least
a
quarter
of
my
hearing
back
and
awesome
back
on
the
day
listening
to
music,
and
you
know
drinking
beers,
whatever
we're
having
a
good
time,
but
it's
it's.
It's
long
overdue
for
Austin
become
this
cultural
district
and
again
I,
look
forward
to
having
the
hearing
in
the
district
in
the
district
in
Austin
and
I.
Think
when
we
go
to
the
district
you
pay
for
dinner.
A
C
Q
Madame
president
I
stand
before
you
as
a
health
care
professional.
Many
of
you
know:
I'm
a
physical
therapist
by
profession.
I
have
worked
in
health
care.
All
my
adult
life,
my
mother,
was
a
nurse
and
nurse
midwife
and
her
two
sisters
were
nurses,
so
I'm
very,
very
familiar
with
the
ethos
and
traditions
of
the
nursing,
nursing
profession.
Q
It's
a
very
proud
tradition,
and
the
bottom
line
in
in
that
is
that
nurses
were
now
or
are
never
going
to
have
a
situation
in
which
they
will
not
deliver
the
necessary
care
and
take
care
of
their
patients
regardless
of
the
situation,
and
it
has
come
to
my
attention
recently
that
our
nurse
colleagues
at
st.
Elizabeth's
are
in
a
dispute
with
the
management
at
Sint,
Elizabeth's
Hospital
and
their
employer,
Stewart
Healthcare
regarding
staffing
levels,
and
yesterday
they
had
an
informational,
picket,
absent
Elizabeth
to
share
their
concerns
with
the
community.
C
R
R
Elizabeth's,
so
that
the
work
that
happens
there
every
day,
the
good
care
that
happens
there
every
day
in
support
of
our
city's
residents
and
those
that
come
from
the
region
to
Tuesday
Elizabeth's
can
continue
to
get
the
fine
care
that
the
the
nurses
and
other
staff
in
that
hospital
provide
every
single
day.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
C
H
You,
madam
president,
Thank
You
counselors,
Brayden
and
asabi
George.
Yesterday,
council,
Burton
and
I
went
down
to
st.
Elizabeth's
to
attend
the
protest
and
I
got
to
hear
from
so
many
amazing
labor
leaders
and
people
living
the
realities.
I
was
so
inspired
about
the
amazing
action
being
taken
by
the
unions
like
the
Massachusetts
Nurses
Association,
and
it
made
me
think
of
my
own
mom,
who
never
got
union
benefits
and
at
this
point
is
71
years
old
and
still
too
poor
to
retire.
I
hope
that,
with
our
support,
the
nurses
and
health
care
staff
at
st.
H
Elizabeth's
will
be
able
to
push
for
better
working
conditions
and
better
staffing
so
that
they
can
get
back
to
doing
the
important
job
they
do.
I
wish
them
all
the
best
and
urge
them
to
continue
holding
them
accountable
and
I
have
to
say
I'm
going
off
script
to
y'all,
be
careful
now,
just
I
just
have
to
say
that
often
times
we
have
this
expectation
that
we
want
people
to
do
more
with
less
and
I.
H
C
F
I
just
wanted
to
rise
and
thank
my
colleagues
for
their
leadership
and,
of
course,
to
the
nurses
and
and
knowing
the
number
of
people
that
you
represent,
and
taking
the
time
to
be
here
with
us
and
to
be
advocating
is
just
a
an
action
that
you
shouldn't
be
happy.
Should
it
be
having
to
take
in
this
moment,
especially
now
as
we're
facing
a
worldwide
pandemic
and
the
resources
and
the
capacity
of
our
healthcare
institutions
are
becoming
more
and
more
strained
facing
this
coronavirus
public
health
crisis.
F
We
should
not
be
having
conversations
about
pinching,
pennies
and
making
that
profit
on
the
backs
of
workers.
In
fact,
instead,
we
should
be
directing
every
possible
resource
to
supporting
the
foundation
of
what
is
the
lifeblood
of
every
single
community,
so
I
just
wanted
to
rise
and
give
special
thanks
to
you
all,
as
we
were
dealing
with
this
frightening
and
urgent
crisis
and
whatever
we
can
do
to
support
you
in
that
front.
Let
us
know
thank
you.
N
You,
madam
president,
madam
president,
please
add
my
name
and
also
here
to
stand
up
and
speak
for
the
nurses
at
st.
Elizabeth's,
but
also
a
wonderous
is
throughout
the
city
throughout
the
state.
The
mass
Nurses
Association
provides
exceptional
work,
representing
our
nurses,
making
show
that
they
have
good
healthcare
that
they
have
good
wages.
We
stood
with
them,
joined
the
strike
at
the
Tufts
Medical
Center.
N
They
were
fighting
for
safe
patient
limits
and
they
continue
to
fight
for
safe
patient
limits
across
across
the
Commonwealth,
and
you
know
this
body
has
always
stood
up
for
working
men
and
woman.
Regardless
of
their
occupation.
We
stood
up
for
the
workers
of
local
26,
which
is
the
hotel
and
restaurant
workers.
We
stood
up
for
the
steel
workers,
which
are
the
National
Grid
workers
when
National
Grid
was
not
even
on
strike,
which
were
locked
out
by
National
Grid.
N
So
this
body
has
a
long
history
of
standing
up
for
working
men
and
women,
making
sure
that
they
earn
a
decent
wage
health
care
benefits
in
that
there
is
some
protection
for
them.
That's
what
the
Union
provides
our
workers
is
they
fight
for
them
in
solidarity,
making
sure
that
their
voice
collectively
is
heard
at
the
bargaining
table.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
P
President
and
please
add
my
name
in
support,
thank
you
to
the
makers
for
their
leadership
in
this
nurses
are
the
lifeblood
in
a
lot
of
places
in
terms
of
the
ways
that
our
hospitals
operate.
This
is
a
opportunity
for
us
to
stand
as
one
and
say
that
profits
over
employees,
safety
and
the
care
that
is
afforded
to
our
patients
is
unacceptable.
I
stand
with
our
nurses
from
st.
Elizabeth's,
Medical,
Center
and
I.
Think
the
makers
for
putting
this
for
thank.
C
S
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
wasn't
at
first,
but
just
you
know,
being
obviously
in
the
hospital
recently
given
birth
to
a
child.
We
all
know
the
tremendous
role
that
nurses
play
not
only
in
delivering
care,
but
doing
it
in
a
compassionate
way
and
in
many
instances
teaching
new
folks
or
having
children
how
to
be
mothers.
How
the
nurse
that's
incredible,
work
there
on
the
front
lines
your
doctor
usually
gives
you
know,
gives
birth
hand
to
the
baby.
You
never
see
them
again,
but
you
always
see
the
nurses,
and
sometimes
they
follow
up
with
you.
S
If
you
build
a
relationship
to
make
sure
you're
doing
well
so
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there,
because
my
you
know
recently
was
a
trying
situation
with
our
baby
Aydin,
but
the
nurses
were
just
incredible.
So
thank
you
for
your
service
and
thank
you
to
the
makers
for
putting
forth
this
resolution.
Thank.
C
You
thank
you
so
much
anyone
else,
something
to
add
their
name.
Madam

A
R
Thank
you
again,
madam
president.
This
is
the
first
of
several
filings
for
my
women's
agenda
in
honor
of
women's
three
month
that
we're
into
today
this
resolution
is
in
support
of
the
I,
am
bill,
an
act
to
increase
access
to
menstrual
products
in
prisons,
homeless,
shelters
and
in
public
schools.
Last
year
we
made
period
products
available
for
free
in
our
Boston
Public
Schools
this
bill.
The
state
level
would
bring
that
effort
to
every
school,
every
homeless,
shelter
in
every
prison
in
the
state.
R
C
G
You
very
much
and
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
the
work
of
my
colleague,
councillor
O'malley.
We
initially
called
for
the
hearing
last
year
to
discuss
about
period
equity
in
our
schools
in
making
sure
that,
at
least
when
it
comes
to
places
where
our
children
and
our
our
women
of
Boston
are
gathering,
but
they
know
that
they
have
a
resource
and
support
from
the
city.
So
I
wanted
to
thank
councillor
O'malley
for
that.
Since
then,
the
administration
responded
wonderfully
by
assuring
that
we
had
a
grant
and
that
we
were
providing
mental
products
in
our
public
schools.
G
C
Else

to

R
Thank
you
again,
madam
president,
as
we
main
public
places,
parks
and
streets
and
create
statues
in
part,
we
do
this
all
the
time
to
commemorate
important
figures
in
our
community
in
our
our
Boston's
history.
Only
six
of
the
hundred
and
twenty-five
Boston
Public
Schools
are
named
for
women,
two
of
the
almost
400
properties
managed

our

and
none
of

Four,
nine
nine
ducats.
C
R
You
again,
I've
got
a
few
here,
so
I'll
be
up
a
few
more
times,
but
we
all
know
that
the
oak
crisis
continues
to
weigh
on
Boston
and,
although
there's
a
lot
of
good
work
being
done
by
our
practitioners
on
the
ground,
you
know
that
we
are
missing
touching.
So
many
of
our
women
who
are
dealing
with
substance
use
disorders.
These
disorders
impact
women
differently
than
they
impact
men.
R
They
are
intersecting
and
complicating
health
concerns
with
pregnancy,
with
sexuality
and
gender
with
race
and
women,
and
they
are
an
elevated
risk
for
passing
on
Hep,
C
and
HIV.
As
a
result
of
their
substance
use
disorders,
young
women
die
from
opioid
overdoses
as
a
at
a
higher
rate
than
young
men,
and
the
horrible
truth
is
that
the
vast
majority
of
these
deaths
are
preventable.
R
I,
look
forward
to
this
hearing
and
ensuring
that
our
outreach
efforts
that
continue
day
in
and
day
out
today
on
our
streets
are
very
specific
and
targeting
and
supporting
women,
many
of
whom
are
very
young,
dealing
with
substance
use
disorders
and
are
really
in
the
midst
of
this
crisis
on
our
streets
in
Boston.
Thank
you,
madam
president.

R
I.
Thank
you
again.
This
is
a
new
file
from
last
year
and
over
the
course
of
this
last
year,
my
office
has
continued
to
press
for
patron
safety
efforts
to
be
taken
more
seriously
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Since
I
last
filed
this
hearing
order,
we've
been
working
with
the
bar
Safety
Alliance.
This
Alliance
has
a
new
chapter
in
Boston
and
they
have
developed
a
bar
safety
training,
specific
for
nightlife
industry
managers
and
workers
to
reduce
sexual
harassment
and
assault.
T
Flaherty
lead
sponsor
for
including
me,
everyone
in
the
city
should
have
an
opportunity
to
be
safe
and
to
enjoy
our
nightlife.
I
know
that
we
already
have
a
lot
of
partners,
Boston
Police
Department,
many
of
whom
are
here
this
afternoon,
and
also
the
licensing
board
and
the
administration
they've
been
very
productive
in
robust
in
discussing
this
topic,
wanna
remind
folks
that,
back
in
2007,
this
party
unanimously
passed
a
home
rule
petition
that
I
had
sponsored
called
third
party
training
and
background
checks
for
violent
history
for
security
staff
at
bars.
T
In
addition,
the
third
party
training
should
include
identifying
the
problem
and
making
sure
that
we
were
able
to
get
a
problem
patron
out
with
limited
and
aggressive
behavior,
as
well
as
curb
underage
consumption
of
alcohol,
as
well
as
the
presentation
of
fake
IDs
in
the
employment
of
best
practices
regarding
several
of
our
guiding
safe
removal
of
problem
patrons
from
the
premise
without
physically
harming
the
problem
patron,
another
patron
or
any
other
person
in
just
last
week,
I
think
to
door.
Men
put
a
beating
on
a
guy
outside
of
a
joint
in
the
A&E
hall.
T
So
it
continues
to
happen.
We
actually
have
an
executive
order
from
the
city.
We
also
have
a
Home
Rule
petition
with
this
body
passed.
That
would
safeguard
patrons,
and
particularly
some
of
our
more
vulnerable
residents.
Those
particularly
women
and
those
that
may
have
had
too
much
to
drink
when
they're,
leaving
or
they're
being
asked
to
leave
with
heard
of
situations
where
people
have
been
asked
to
leave
and
they
end
up
somewhere
in
the
shower.
So
we
can
must
be
doing
a
better
job.
T
We
have
something
on
the
books
right
now,
so
look
forward
to
working
with
the
lead,
sponsor,
have
a
productive
hearing
and
try
to
find
out.
You
know:
what's
working,
what's
not
working?
What
do
we
have
the
tools
that
I
disclosure
right
now
to
be
able
to
implement
this,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
anybody
that's
working
in
a
bar
or
nightclub.
That's
making
an
assessment
taking
someone's
identification
needs
to
have
a
query
check,
it's
pretty
straightforward
and
that's
what
the
rule
says:
that's
what
Pilar
is,
but
no
one
adheres
to
it.
T
So
maybe
we
need
to
bring
anybody
in
and
remind
them
and
have
a
refresher
course
as
to
what's
permissible.
What's
not
and
maybe
we'll
see
a
reduction
in
incidence
that
we
saw
last
week
into
a
folks
getting
into
uber
or
lyft
in
a
state
that
the
condition
that
they
should
not
be
in
or
it
could
be
prevented.
So
thank
you
and
look
forward
to
the
hearing.
Thank.
C
You
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
or
add
their
name.
Madam
Clerk,
if
you
could
please

Please
also
add
the

counselor
Edwards.
Would
you
like
to
speak
on
this
matter.
G
Chef
I
just
wanted
to
add
also
to
the
conversation
I
think
that
the
city
needs
to
be
talking
about
the
infrastructure.
We
can
build
around
our
nightlife,
whether
those
are
certain
phone
numbers
to
have
in
the
bars
to
call
for
a
friend
or
to
try
and
be
a
friend
to
say
that
I
think
there's
someone
who
is
probably
too
inebriated
to
go
home
by
his
or
herself
I.
G
C
R
Is
also
a
refil,
the
criminal
justice
reform
bill
had
important
provisions
that
require
rape
kits
to
be
processed
within
30
days.
Well,
this
is
a
huge
step
in
the
right
direction
for
survivors.
It's
a
big
ask
for
our
crime
lab,
which
is
already
under
resourced
and
has
an
insufficient
space
to
meet
their
current
caseload
efficiently.
This
hearing
will
give
the
Boston
Police
Department
a
chance
to
share
with
the
council
what
they
need
to
meet
that
capacity
in
their
demands.
R
I
do
want
to
note
that
our
crime
lab
is
highly
accredited
and
saw
scene
as
the
model
for
crime
labs.
We
do
need
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
capacity
and
the
ability
to
do
the
work
that
they
need
to
do
both
on
the
rape
kit
front,
but
also
on
unsolved
homicides
that
we
talk
a
great
deal
about
the
work
needs
to
be
able
to
happen
and
happen
in
a
very
timely
manner.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
resources
they
need
to
do
that.
Thank
you,
madam.
C
President,

you.

R
An
individual
who
has
a
mental
health
crisis
I
think
that
we
have
a
surprisingly
simple
and
easy
way
to
help
more
Bostonians
get
the
resources
they
need,
and
we
can
do
this
through

they've
demonstrated
some
great
success

engaging

residents

Look

have
the
resources
to
do
more.
Thank.

city
services.
A
R
I,
do
I
do
have
one
more
after
this,
but
this
is
something
that
my
office
and
I
have
been
working
on
for
some
for
some
time.
I've
got
some
comments
here
that
I'd
like
to
read
and
I'll
pick
a
few
of
them,
but
related
to
a
hearing,
order
that
home
latisha,
then
I'm
filing
later,
in
a
conversation
that
I
had
with
a
group
of
first
responders,
one
had
shared
a
quote
with
me
that
has
really
resonated
with
me
and
has
stuck
with
me
for
some
time,
but
the
quote
was
from
a
first
responder.
R
Everyone
thinks
I'm,
okay
and
I'm,
not
and
I
think
that
it
speaks
to
the
trauma
both
primary
and
secondary
trauma
that
our
first
responders
see
every
single
day,
while
they're
working
for
us,
whether
they're
fire,
whether
they're
police,
whether
they're
EMS,
responding
to
our
needs.
When
we
are
in
a
desperate
moment,
what's
a
very
desperate
moment
for
us,
we
call
9-1-1
and
they
come
to
our
aid
and,
as
a
result
of
coming
to
their
our
aid,
they
are
often
exposed
to
very
traumatic
events.
Very
violent
events
and
often
dangerous
events
and
I.
R
Think
that
it's
important
for
us
as
a
city
to
recognize
that
to
say
that
out
loud
and
to
make
sure
that
our
first
responders,
every
single
one
of
them
have
access
to
wellness
programs
access
to
both
physical
and
mental
health
resources,
so
that
they
can
better
serve
us
and
better
continue
to
serve
us
for
many
many
years.
We
know
that
peer
support
units
within
our
first
responder
service
units
are
overwhelmed.
R
We
know
that,
due
to
the
repeated
exposure
to
trauma
whether
it's
a
significant
international
event
like
the
Boston
Marathon
or
whether
it's
a
domestic
violence
event
that
happens
within
one
of
our
neighborhoods
on
a
you
know
on
a
less
known
scale,
because
it's
not
it's
not
widely
reported.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
consistently
providing
supports
for
our
first
responders.
I
think
that
it's
certainly
better
for
us
as
residents,
but
it's
better
for
them
and
for
the
longevity
of
their
own
lives.
R
We
know
that
first
responders
have
a
particularly
high
rate
of
suicide
and
and
more
first
responders
die
by
suicide
than
by
any
job
injury.
We
know
that
our
first
responders
have
high
rates
of
depression
and
PTSD,
but
they
also
very
high
rates
of
physical
impacts
to
their
body.
So
I,
look
forward
to
this
hearing
and
I
look
forward
more
to
making
sure
that
all
of
our
first
responders
have
access
to
the
care
and
the
treatment
that
they
need
day
in
and
day
out.

of
the
following
order,
requesting
certain
information
under
set
under
Section
17
F
documents
related
to
the
Boston
Police
Department's
field,
interrogation
and
observation
policy,
as
well
as
the
field
interrogation
and
observation
data
from
2017,
2018,
2019
and
2020.
Thank.
C
S
You,
madam
president,
today
I
rise
to
introduce
an
order
requesting
the
Boston
Police
Department,
released
its
field,
interrogation
and
observation
data,
also
known
as
stop
and
frisk
from
2017
2018
2019
and
2020
under
Section
17
s
of
the
Boston
City
Charter,
which
allows
this
council
gives
this
council
the
legal
authority
to
compel
the
release
of
documents
that
are
in
the
public
interest.
This
data
was
previous
previously
released
in
2017.
The
2016
was
released
in
2017
and
back
in
2015
amid
a
minute
conversation
around
stop-and-frisk
policies
in
the
disproportionate
impact
it
has
on
communities
of
color.
S
The
administration
agreed
to
release
this
data
so
I'm,
following
up
to
ensure
that
it
gets
released.
There
have
been
numerous
public
records
requests
not
only
from
folks
in
from
media
outlets,
also
from
civil
rights
organizations,
and
those
requests
have
not
been
fulfilled
because
we
have
done
this
in
the
past.
S
I
think
we
should
do
this
again
as
a
matter
of
public
record,
but
also
transparency,
so
I
look
forward
to
the
administration,
releasing
the
record
and
all
of
your
support
and
in
support
of
this
order,
and
so
I
seek
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
DOC
at
zero
five
zero.
Four.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
C
You
so
much
councillor
Campbell,
seek
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
duck.
Well,
does
anyone
want
to
speak
or
anything?
Did
you
want
to
speak
how's,
my
hair
before
we
move
on
I'm
gonna
give
councilman
here
an
opportunity.
The
chair
recognizes
councilor
Mejia
council
Mejia.
You
have
the
floor.
Thank.
H
You,
madam
president,
for
me,
I'm
always
trying
to
find
opportunities
to
call
people
into
the
conversation.
The
most
recent
field,
interrogation
observation
reports
we
received
use
data
from
2016.
A
lot
has
changed
in
the
last
four
years
since
the
most
recent
data
that
we
can
get
to
work
on
to
adjust
the
issues
were
policing.
Our
communities
also
curious
to
see
how
this
data
will
reveal
for
people
who
are
undocumented.
H
I
think
that
we
there's
there's
some
stuff
that
we
can
learn
and
how
those
racial
profiling
is
impacting.
The
immigrant
community
and
I
hope
that
these
reports
will
tell
us
more
about
what
we
can
do
as
elected
officials
to
hold
ourselves
accountable
to
undocumented
people
from
all
backgrounds.
We
need
to
be
mindful
that
how
we
build
trust
between
undocumented
people
and
law
enforcement
to
make
sure
that
all
people
feel
protected
and
safe
in
their
communities.
H
In
these
conversations
that
we
really
think
about
this
as
an
opportunity
to
learn
on
both
sides,
and
how
can
we
do
this
in
a
way
that
doesn't
further
divide
the
community
and
people
feel
attacked
on
one
side
or
the
other,
and
so
my
hope
is
that,
as
we
continue
to
do
this
work
and
bring
people
together,
that
we
recognize
that
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
all
want
what's
best
and
that
is
to
feel
protected
and
served
and
heard
so
I
look
forward
to
the
process.
Thank
you.
So
much.
C
C
R
You,
madam
president,
Day
I,
do
want
to
thank
the
clerk
for
naming
them
in
her
reading,
but
I
do
want
to
say
again
on
behalf
of
Scott
Ryan
Harry,
Terry,
Matthew
and
Richard
on
behalf
of
the
city
I'd
like
to
thank
them
for
their
service
to
our
city
and
recognize
that
they
have
all
sustained
significant
injuries,
both
physical
and
psychological,
due
to
their
capacity
as
police
officers.
Here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
R
These
injuries
have
happened
over
a
number
of
many
years:
2004
2013,
2013,
2013,
2016,
2016,
2006
and
I
think
that
it's
really
important
that
we
understand
the
impact
that
these
injuries
have
had
to
these
men
that
they
sustained
in
the
line
of
duty
which
have
dramatically
and
significantly
changed
their
lives.
They
were
at
work
and
then
they
were
no
longer
at
work.
Some
have
attempted
to
return
to
work.
R
Great
great
difficulty
and
this
home
will
petition
here
will
make
right
some
of
some
make
some
of
right.
What
we
can
do
here
for
them
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
We
can
never
repay
them
for
giving
us
and
to
the
residents
here
in
the
city
of
Boston,
but
there
was
a
small
piece
again
that
we
can
make
right
and
I
look
forward
to
doing
that
with
a
hormonal
petition
here,
I,
look
forward
to
that
hearing
and
passage
and
then
delivering
it
to
the
State
House
for
passage
there.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
C
N
President,
could
you
please
add
my
name
and
I
just
want
to
echo
the
comments
of
councilor
sabi
George
of
the
dedication
in
the
professionalism
of
these
police
officers.
Their
sacrifice,
their
dedication,
their
duty
to
our
our
city,
but
also,
but
also
their
family,
as
well
as
sacrificed
for
our
city
and
their
family
has
also
gone
through
difficult
times
as
well.
N
C
Thank
You
councillor
Flynn,
please
add
councillor
Flynn's
name,
please
add
the
chair,
madam
clerk.
Please
also
add
councillor
royal
councillor,
Baker
counselor,
Bob,
council,
Braeden,
Council
clarity,
council
mejia
and
councillor
woo,
docket,
zero.
Five,
zero
five
will
be
referred
to
the
Committee
of
government
ops
government
operations.
Madam
clerk,
if
we
could
move
on
to
dockets.
C
N
You,
madam
president,
and
Madam
President
in
my
colleagues,
I
added
counsel,
ed
woods
because
her
mother,
as
we
know,
served
honorably
in
the
United
States
military
for
over
20
years,
and
she
brings
a
tremendous
perspective
on
women
veterans
and
family
issues
impacting
our
women
veterans.
So
thank
you
to
council,
Edwards,
Madam,
President
I
had
the
opportunity
to
serve
in
the
US
Navy
for
about
25
years
and
Ian
saw
upfront
the
tremendous
impact
women
veterans
had
in
our
country.
N
N
25%
of
women
veterans
experience
military
sexual
trauma
while
serving
serving
in
the
military.
They
have
a
higher
rate,
also
of
homelessness
and
in
mental
health
related
issues
as
well
going
into
the
VA
system.
The
VA
system
now
is
not
adequately
prepared
to
assist
our
women
veterans.
We
need
more
federal
money
to
make
sure
that
gender
specific
health
is
provided
to
a
woman
veterans.
Again
they
worked
hard.
They
served.
N
They
sacrificed
their
families,
have
also
served
and
sacrificed
so
I
think
today
recognizing
how
a
woman
veterans,
the
critical
role
they
played
in
the
defense
of
our
country
is
something
we
want
to
recognize
in.
Following
this
this
resolution,
my
first
hearing
on
veterans
issues
will
be
a
another
hearing
on
women
veterans
in
the
services
that
they
need
I'll
file
that
sometime
over
the
next
couple
weeks,
but
I
hope
we
can
suspend
and
pass
this
resolution
today.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
C
G
G
And
yes,
the
sexual
assault
rates
are
very
high
for
women
and
we
be
clear
about
who's
doing
the
assaulting.
It
is
their
fellow
soldiers.
It
is
not
enemy
combatants,
we're
talking
about
a
culture
within
the
military
that
makes
many
of
our
military
members
more
vulnerable
to
assault,
and
so
that's
something
we
need
to
continue
to
push
for
and
change.
We
need
to
push
for
it,
not
just
in
recruitment
but
in
our
military
academies
as
well.
This
is
an
issue
for
us.
We
are
stronger
country
because
we
have
women
out
there.
G
Defending
our
country
and
I
say
this
on
behalf
of
many
of
the
daughters
of
the
women
who
served
in
this
country
that,
having
a
role
model,
seeing
your
mother
serve
where
combat
boots
in
the
debt
during
the
day,
then
high
heels
at
night
to
watch
her
manage
that
strength
and
grace
is
something
that
helped
influence
me
and
help
me
make
her
become
a
city
councilor
today.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
again
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
and
to
honor
when
women
veterans
thank.
O
C
Any
other
folks
looking
to
speak
or
add
their
name.
Madam
Clerk,
if
we
could
add
councillor
Arroyo
councillor,
Bob
councillor,
Braden,
councillor,
Campbell,
councillor,
sabi,
George,
Council
of
clarity,
council
Mejia.
We
also
have
councillor
O'malley
councillor
Wu
and,
if
you
could
please
add
the
chair,
a
councillor
Flynn
and
councillor
Edwards
seeks
a
suspension
of
the
rules
and
adoption
of
docket
zero,
five
zero.
Six,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
all
opposed,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
and
docket
zero.
Five
six
has
been
adopted.
C
C
C
C
A
Secondly,
file
matter
sponsored
by
counsel
Lydia
Edwards,
a
resolution
requesting
the
governor
of
the
Commonwealth
postpone
a
hearing
by
the
energy
facilities
citing
board
in
light
of
procedural
and
public
health
concerns.
Whereas
the
energy
facility
siting
board
was
scheduled,
a
hearing
for
machi
Levin
concerning
a
controversial
electric
substation
in
East
Boston,
we
are
as
residents
of
limited-english-proficiency
mail
act
and
accurate
information
regarding
four
cautionary
measures
to
take
to
prevent
the
contagion
of
cofee
19.
We
were
as
excuse
me.
A
It
is
critical
to
promote
public
trust
in
government
through
inclusive,
safe
and
responsive
public
process
by
regulatory
agencies.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
Boston
City
Council
requests
the
governor
of
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts,
postpone
the
March
11th
hearing
of
the
energy
facility
siting
board.
I
was
in
the
council
on
March
11
2020.
C
G
You,
madam
president,
I
originally
filed
this
resolution
today
and
I
apologize
for
the
lateness
of
it,
because
the
state
of
emergency
was
just
a
cleared
yesterday
and
as
of
literally
probably
a
half
hour
ago,
the
FSB
was
planning
to
have
the
hearing.
Today
in
East
Boston,
we
expected
a
couple
hundred
people
to
show
up
at
the
hearing
expected
to
be
for
five
hours
and
it
was
going
to
be
in
the
high
school
auditorium.
G
G
I
am
happy
to
report
to
report
to
my
colleagues
that
the
meeting
is
postponed
and
I
just
received
an
email,
noting
that
so
I
appreciate
those
who
would
have
come
on
board
and
pushed
this
to
happen,
but
we
filed
this
an
hour
ago
and
it's
been
well
taken
care
of,
so
we're.
Thank
you.
So
much
and
I
wanted
to
so.
C
Wonderful,
so,
madam
clerk,
we
were
drawing
that
and
wonderful.
Thank
you.
So
much,
though,
thank
you
for
your
advocacy,
we're
gonna
move
on
to
the
green
sheets.
Anyone
wishing
to
remove
a
matter
may
do
so
at
this
time.
Okay,
wonderful,
nothing!
Wonderful!
The
consent
agenda
I've
been
informed
by
the
clerk
that
there
is
one
addition
to
the
consent
agenda.
It
is
the
resolution
here
seeing
and
hearing
no
objections
from
my
colleagues.
That
matter
has
been
added
to
the
consent
agenda.
The
chair
now
moves
for
adoption
of
the
consent
agenda.
C
G
To
recognize
the
passing
of
an
East
Boston
resident,
who
has
been
I,
would
say,
a
stalwart
of
the
community,
his
entire
life
Richard
aelion's,
2076
years
old
transition.
It
is
now
with
God.
He
grew
up
in
the
maverick
landing
housing
projects
he
went
on
to
own
a
home.
He
went
on
to
be
a
business
owner
and
owned.
A
flower
shop
emerged
from
Rhydian
Street
for
many
years.
He
was
a
member
of
the
Knights
of
Columbus,
but
again
he
lost
his
battle
to
lymphoma.
He
is
deeply
missed
by
many
people
in
the
community.
G
He
leaves
behind
his
son,
Richard
Richie,
Lanz
Joann
and
his
daughter
Joann
and
his
son
John
and
his
his
wife
Ann,
and
it
was
a
beautiful
moment
to
go
to
the
week
on
Sunday
to
see
how
many
people
in
East
Boston,
who
no
longer
lived
there
came
back
to
acknowledge
him
his
presence
and
what
he
did
for
our
community.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
his
name
today
before
all
of
my
colleagues
Thank.
C
T
So
hopefully
Ursula
will
get
her
just
reward
and
rest
in
peace
at
103
and
on
that
sort
of
same
trajectory
want
to
give
a
shout
out
in
a
happy
birthday
wish
to
my
first-grade
nun,
sister
Evelyn
Hurley,
who,
as
you
all
know,
comes
here
every
year,
just
turned
105
and
she's,
hoping
to
come
to
Boston
at
the
end
of
the
month
for
a
month,
she's
actually
at
the
mother
house
and
Yuval
Kentucky.
So
she
is,
will
hopefully
have
her
into
given
a
vacation,
but
she's
never
felt
any
better
exposure.
T
T
Obviously,
to
to
this
building
is
her
father
served
as
a
city
council,
council,
Foley
and
served
as
council
president
as
well,
so
she
has
sort
of
a
rich
history
and
tradition
with
the
Boston
City
Council
and
we
all
know
I
know
Clark
Feeny
his
she's
come
in
every
year
since
I've
been
here
so
to
get
medication
and
she
looks
better
and
better
every
year,
so
happy
birthday
to
sister,
Evelyn,
Hurley
who's
in
Kentucky,
but
we're
thinking
of
her
here
in
Boston.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
O
O
C
You
so
much
and
I
want
to
echo
that
really
important
that
we
minimize
large
crowds
working
with
all
committee
chairs
to
discuss
what
hearings
are
coming
up,
which
hearings
can
be
postponed.
How
can
we
engage
folks
remotely
using
technology?
So
it's
really
important
if
you
haven't
received
a
call
or
check
in
from
my
office
already.
You
certainly
will
I'm
probably
about
halfway
through
my
colleagues
in
terms
of
having
these
conversations
for
our
hearings
that
are
coming
up
and
the
same
goes
for
our
council
staff.
We
want.
C
M
Unanimous
consent
to
make
it
brief.
Yes,
along
these
lines,
I
just
wanted
to
lift
up
and
recognize.
You
know:
I
represent
a
large
number
of
universities
and,
as
some
folks
know,
I
also
teach
history
seminar
to
a
group
of
undergraduates
across
the
river
at
Harvard,
and
this
week
my
students
and
students,
all
over
the
city,
found
out
that
their
classes
were
moving
online,
but
also
that
for
many
of
them
who
live
in
dormitories
around
our
city
and
the
adjacent
cities
that
they're
going
to
be
asked
to
go
elsewhere.
M
M
Think
you
know
many
of
the
universities
are
providing
ways
for
students
who
don't
have
an
alternative
place
to
stay,
but
I
just
want
to
I
just
want
to
sort
of
say
aloud
in
this
chamber
that
you
know
those
folks
are
our
residents
to
they're
members
of
our
community
and
I
know
we're
all
looking
at
ways
to
support
them.
I
know
my
office
is
working
with
councilor
Mia's
office
and
councillor
asabi
George's
office,
as
we
speak
to
sort
of
collect
the
information
on.
M
You
know
how
you
petition
your
university
to
stay
or
sort
of
follow
all
the
resources
for
each
of
the
schools,
but
I
just
know.
You
know:
I've
I
have
four
senior
thesis
advisees.
Who
are
you
know
now:
gonna
not
have
the
last
couple
months
of
their
semester
and
I
just
think
like
as
I
as
a
university
town,
University
Region
acknowledging
how
hard
that
is
for
our
students
and
also
just
acknowledging
that
we're
at
the
level
of
you
know,
corporations
and
institutions
making
decisions
about
what
the
work
day
is.
M
Gonna
look
like,
but
that
people
still
have
their
lot
like
when
we're
going
home
right.
The
question
of
where's
home
what
happens
at
home?
How
do
the
resources
work
if
school
is
covering
your
meals
and
suddenly
that
dining
hall
is
shot?
What
does
that?
Look
like
it's
gonna
be
a
whole
second
level
of
this,
and
so
I
just
really
want
to
lift
up
the
community
to
the
student
community
today
and
say
that
we're
all
gonna
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
support
them
and
also,
and
also
add
to
that,
just
in
general.
M
That
I
think
a
lot
of
us
I
nice
to
say
this,
like
as
a
Bostonian
I,
think
a
lot
of
us
right
now.
Our
first
set
of
questions
about
Corona
says:
what
does
this
mean
for
me?
What
does
this
mean
for
the
routines
of
my
life?
That's
a
natural
place
for
our
headspace
to
go,
but
it's
not
just
gonna
be
things
that
we
normally
do
being
canceled.
It's
gonna
be
us
thinking
about
what
do
I
need
to
add
now
to
help
support
my
neighbor
to
help
support.
M
You
know
that
elder
I
see
you
around
the
corner,
because
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
are
gonna
need
to
get
phone
calls.
There's
a
lot
of
alternative
ways
that
we're
gonna
need
to
provide
things
so
I,
just
I
want
to
lift
up
the
way
that
the
way
that
these
cancellations
are
gonna
affect
everybody's
life
and
because
I'm,
a
teacher
and
I
have
undergraduate
students,
particularly
the
undergraduate
students
across
the
region,
who
are
being
asked
to
move
and
disrupt
their
whole
schedule.
Thanks.
Thank.
Q
Q
And
I
really
want
to
just
hold
up
the
nurses
and
all
the
health
care
professionals
and
all
the
folks
who
are
supporting
them
and
support
roles
in
our
hospitals
and
our
community
health
centers
all
across
this
all
across
the
state
all
across
our
nation.
Right
now
who
are
dealing
with
the
uncertainty
of
this
epidemic
epidemic
and
to
assure
them
that
we
are
eternally
grateful
for
their
professionalism
and
their
dedication
to
work.
Thank
you.

other
