Could

a
great
honor
for
me
and
indeed
a
pleasure
to
address
boston
city
council

mark
st
patrick's

I
am
so
very
grateful
to
the
president
of
the
council,
ed
flynn,
for
your
very
kind
invitation,
and
could
I
at
the
outset
say
a
very
sincere
thank
you
for
and
the
very
beautiful
shamrock
and
the
blessing
of
the
shamrock,
and
also
the
very
fantastic
and
energetic
dancing
by
these
two
young
girls.
H
That's
showing
that
the
irish
culture
and
heritage
is
very
much
growing
and
being
nurtured
and
thriving
here
in
boston.
So
so
thank
you
for
that.
Thank
you
and
thank
you
to
the
girls
very
much,
so
it
is
true
to
say
that
the
bonds
between
ireland
and
boston
run
very,
very
deep
indeed
over
centuries,
and
I
would
like
to
express,
on
behalf
of
the
irish
government,
our
great
appreciation
of
all
who
have
forged
those
very
close
ties.
H
I
would
also
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
congratulate
all
of
you
on
your
recent
election
to
council.
I
have
served
on
council
myself
for
very
many
years,
and
I
know
it
is
an
incredible
honor,
so
congratulations
and
well
done
to
you
and
we
at
home
in
ireland
look
forward
to
building
ever
closer
links
with
you
in
this
the
capital
city
of
irish
america.
H
H
We
consider
ourselves
blessed
beyond
measure
to
have
a
thriving
and
noble
irish
community
here
in
boston
in
ireland.
We
are
marking
our
national
day
this
year
with
solidarity
rather
than
celebration,
both
as
we
reflect
on
the
toll
of
the
recent
pandemic
and
also,
of
course,
in
light
of
the
horrific
and
heartbreaking
war
in
ukraine.
H
H
I
have
a
very
small
presentation
that
I
would
like
to
make
to
your
president
an
appreciation
of
your
hospitality
here
today,
but
equally
so
in
appreciation
of
the
long-standing
ties
that
exist
between
the
fair
emerald,
isle
and
boston.
B
We
on
behalf
of
the
boston
city
council,
I
would
like
to
ask
councillor
braden
if
she'd
like
to
come
to
the
podium,
we
would
like
to
present
the
council
general
and
the
minister
with
some
shamrocks
here
as
a
a
token
of
our
friendship
between
our
two,
our
two
countries,
so
I'd
like
to
ask
councillor
braden
if
she
will
present
these
on
behalf
of
the
city
council,.
B
B
And
we
also
have
the
mayor
of
boston
is
with
us
here
as
well,
and
we're
just
honored
to
have
michelle
wu
as
our
mayor,
but
be
with
us
today
on
this
special
eve
of
saint
patrick's
day.
Mayor
will
would
love
to
invite
you
to
the
podium
and
offer
offer
official
greetings
from
the
residents
of
boston,
okay,
we're
going
to
do
a
a
picture
first
and
then
the
mayor
mayor
will
speak.
H
B
B
J
Thank
you,
mr
president,
I
caught
a
bit
of
the
remarks
from
from
the
hallway
and
so
just
wanted
to
come
by
and
add
my
thanks
to
minister
foley
and
consul
general
moore
for
all
your
leadership
here.
We
know
that
boston
has
always
enjoyed
a
very
special
relationship
and
connection
to
ireland,
and
I've
had
many
fond
memories
in
this
chamber.
Also
celebrating
that
connection
and
I
think,
holding
up
the
culture
and
heritage
of
our
boston.
Irish
as
a
reminder
of
how
important
the
immigration
story
and
immigrant
story
is
to
every
part
of
our
community
here.
J
So
we
thank
you
for
your
visit
here.
We
thank
you
for
your
example.
There
have
been
many
time
also
where,
in
passing
policy,
we
have
invoked
that,
for
example,
ireland
is
way
ahead
of
us
in
implementing
plastic
ban
plastic
bag
bands
and
really
focusing
on
climate.
So
you
are
green
in
many
ways
and
we
hope
to
join
you
in
that
front
too.
So,
thank
you
for
having
me.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you,

thank
you

for
my

roxbury,
richie
gormley

the

just
honored
to
have
minister

That
was
with
us,
and
my
sister
maureen
is
married
to
a
man
named
foley
and
they're
also
from
the
same
part
of
ireland
in
kerry.
So
I
won't
hold
that
against
her,
though
okay,

gonna
get

B
K
President,
we're
here
to
discuss
docket
0-264
the
order
to
review
applications
for
the
commission
on
black
men
and
boys,
I'm
sponsored
by
council,
julia
mejia
and
yourself
council,
president
ed
flynn.
I
was
referred
to
the
committee
on
february
9
2022
mayu
is
accepting
14
recommendations
from
the
boston
city
council,
of
which
seven
will
be
approved
and
appointed
to
serve
on
the
commission.
An
ordinance
creating
the
commission
on
black
men
and
boys
was
initially
codified.
K
Last
september
this
year
the
current
ordinance
was
amended
by
adam
divisions
relating
to
executive
director
and
defining
the
role
of
the
executive
director.
The
executive
director
would
be
a
member
of
the
commission
ex-officio
without
additional
compensation
and
would
have
a
vote
on
a
mat
on
matters
before
the
commission
in
order
to
collaborate
with
the
city
council.
The
mayor
requested
recommendations
from
us
and
will
appoint
seven
members
to
the
commission
from
our
14
recommendations.
K
We
established
an
online
application
process
where
members
of
the
public
were
encouraged
to
apply
for
to
be
one
of
the
14
nominees
submitted
to
the
council,
and
members
of
the
commission
will
serve
a
staggered.
Two
three
and
four
year
terms
councils
nominated
two
or
three
individuals.
When
we
held
a
hearing
a
working
session
for
consideration
by
the
mayor
councillors,
we
discussed
the
community
involvement
and
experience
of
the
nominees.
K
We
also
recognized
the
work
of
former
district
7
city
council,
tito
jackson,
in
getting
this
commission
really
off
the
ground,
even
when
he
was
initially
told.
No.
He
persisted
and
counselors
expressed
also
support
for
their
our
fellow
city,
council
colleague,
brian
worrell,
to
serve
as
a
commission
member.
K
We
emphasized
the
importance
of
participation
and
we
also
recognized
that
we
wanted
to
ensure
that
members
of
the
public
had
one
of
the
21
seats
on
the
commission,
and
so
it
is
our
understanding
that
brian
morrell,
who
had
overwhelming
support
from
city
during
the
civil
council
process,
he'll,
be
included
in
administration
selection
process,
which
may
also
include
just
being
a
member
of
the
steering
committee
and
being
involved
in
other
ways
so
as
to
ensure
that
members
of
the
public
will
be
able
to
have
one
of
the
seats
and
can
be
civically
engaged
in
that
way.
K
So
the
passage
of
this
order
will
approve
the
names
of
the
following.
14
individuals
for
submission
to
mayor
wu:
first
tito
jackson,
daryl
miller,
james
hill
dave
brazile,
james
mackey,
jeff
semillion,
justin
brown,
alex
edwards
devin
morris,
kurt
faustin,
kwame
edwards
louis
osa,
ohioba,
ohio,
moba
and
stephen
hanton.
K
B
B
Okay,
I
I
apologize,
I
didn't
see
the
I
didn't
see.
L
L
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
come
to
president
flynn
and
congratulations
to
council
luigi
for
cheering
your
first
hearing
and
holding
it
down
like
she
always
does
I'm
incredibly
proud
to
be
here
today
to
vote
in
favor
of
the
14
black
men
that
we
have
nominated
to
serve
on
the
commission
for
black
men
and
boys.
Our
nominees
come
from
all
different
backgrounds.
L
Sexual
orientation
ages
lived
experiences
and
bring
so
much
resources
and
life
to
this
conversation,
and
while
the
mayor
is
slated
to
select
seven
of
our
14
nominees,
I
think
we
can
all
agree
that
all
14
deserve
to
sit
on
the
commission
during
the
working
session.
It
also.
We
also
came
to
the
conclusion
that
our
very
own
counselor
is
incredibly
qualified
to
serve
on
the
commission,
and
we
hope
that
the
mayor
will
make
room
for
him
so
that
the
voice
of
black
men
from
the
council
can
be
heard.
L
As
well,
I
look
forward
to
working
with
the
commission,
the
commissioners
once
we
they
are
sworn
in,
so
that
we
can
continue
to
uplift
the
voices
and
the
lived
experiences
in
all
spaces.
Thank
you.
B
M
Thank
you,
president
flynn,
and
thank
you
thank
you
councillor
louis
jen
and
councilman
mejia
for
your
work
and
your
leadership
in
establishing
the
black
men's
and
boys
commission,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
to
all
my
colleagues
for
nominating
me.
I'm
very
honored.
I'm
truly
grateful
to
have
the
opportunity
to
serve
on
this
historic
commission
here
in
the
city
of
boston
that
will
advance
black
men
and
boys
here
in
the
city
of
boston
and
to
ensure
that
you
know
our
community
are
giving
the
supports
and
tools
that
they
need
to
thrive.
B
Thank
you,
councilwell.
Would
anyone
else
like
to
speak
on
this?
Thank
you,
council,
illusion,
councillor
mejia,
thank
you,
council
of
warrell,
and
I'm
so
so
glad
that
council
rule
will
play
a
key
role
on
this
commission.
He
has
an
incredible
important
voice
in
the
city,
so
thank
you,
council
ralph,
for
the
important
work
you
do.
B
B
N
Full
thank
you.
Mr
president.
On
tuesday
march
14th
the
committee
held
the
hearing
on
docket
0185.
This
matter
was
introduced
by
councillors,
mejia
and
councilor
bach.
I
want
to
thank
the
lead
sponsors
for
introducing
this
matter
and
for
my
council,
colleagues
that
were
able
to
join
us
councillor,
braden
councillor
fernandez,
anderson
counselor,
lara
councillor,
louis
jen,
councillor
flynn,
councilor
warrell
and
councillor
flaherty.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
elections
department
and
our
panel
of
advocates
for
their
time
and
participation.
N
This
home
rule
petition
would
authorize
the
city
of
boston
to
allow
any
individual
aged
16
or
17,
who
is
a
resident
of
boston
to
be
able
to
vote
as
long
as
they
are
eligible
under
state
law
for
other
all
other
qualifications
other
than
age.
These
individuals
would
be
added
to
a
separate
list
of
orders
to
be
established
and
maintained
by
the
board
of
election
commissioners
and
would
be
allowed
to
vote
for
local
office
and
ballot
questions.
This
would
be
done
by
having
them
fill
out
an
alternative
registration
form.
N
The
board
of
elections
would
be
responsible
for
associated
costs.
The
petition
would
also
grant
the
board
the
authority
to
implement
regulations
associated
with
this
act.
When
the
individual
turns
18,
they
would
be
removed
from
the
separate
list
and
informed
that
they
must
register
to
vote
in
accordance
with
state
law.
During
the
hearing,
we
heard
testimony
from
the
elections
department
on
the
logistical
details
that
would
be
needed
to
address
the
implement
and
implement
this
petition,
including
restrictions
around
how
information
of
16
year
olds
would
need
to
be
safeguarded.
N
Both
the
administration
and
the
advocates
were
able
to
speak
to
practices
from
other
cities,
states
and
countries
that
implanted
have
implemented
similar
electoral
policies,
as
well
as
the
impact.
This
legislation
would
have
on
expanding
the
electorate
in
boston
this
con.
This
conversation
serves
as
a
good
starting
point
for
this
homeworld
petition,
and
I
look
forward
to
more
detailed
conversations
about
the
language
and
future
working
sessions.
As
chair,
I
recommend
this
matter
ought
to
rain
ought
to
remain
in
committee.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
B
L
I
just
wanted
to
thank
the
chair
for
hosting
the
hearing
and
also
just
want
to
uplift
nasa
rare
who
is
one
of
the
young
pers
one
of
the
young
people
that
participated
in
the
hearing.
She
took
some
time
from
school
to
participate
with
us,
which
goes
to
show
how
important
it
is
to
ensure
that
we
recognize
that.
The
reason
why
we're
pushing
for
this
is
that
young
people
want
to
be
engaged.
L
They
are
mature
and
understand
what
is
at
stake
for
them:
they're
the
ones
they're
working,
paying
taxes,
oftentimes
working
two
to
three
jobs,
just
to
help
support
their
families.
So
we
need
to
do
right
by
them
and
making
sure
that
we
support
this
effort,
and
I
really
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
who
participated
and
for
their
support
around
this
initiative
as
well.
So,
thank
you
so
very
much.
O
Thank
you
so
much.
Mr
president,
I
also
want
to
thank
the
chair
and
counselor
mejia
and
all
our
panelists
who
came
and
the
counselors.
I
think
that
you
know
this
is
a
docket,
where
I
think,
we've
already
heard
a
majority
of
counselors
in
support.
We
heard
support
from
the
elections
commission.
We
had
really
good
tangible
feedback
from
the
elections
commission
about
what
they
would
need
to
implement
it
most
effectively.
O
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
working
session
under
the
auspices
of
the
chair,
but
I
just
want
to
emphasize
you
know
we
we
had
a
colleague
from
scotland
come
and
join
the
meeting
virtually
in
scotland,
16
and
17
year
olds
have
been
voting
for
almost
a
decade
in
their
local
elections
and,
and
it's
been
a
huge
driver
of
youth
participation.
O
It
has
not
upended
the
world,
but
it
has
allowed
a
lot
of
people
to
really
get
involved
in
democratic
civic
activism
and,
as
was
brought
raised
on
the
call
when
we
involve
our
our
young
people,
it
also
means
involving
a
lot
of
our
marginalized
communities.
It.
It
often
drives
things
in
a
direction
of
economic
justice.
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
reasons
why
we
want
to
make
voices
and
immigrant
families.
O
Sometimes
it's
the
only
vote
that
might
have
you
might
have
access
to
for
now,
and
so
just
really
want
to
stress
that
we're
looking
forward
to
partnering
with
the
chair
and
making
this
something
that
the
council
is
able
to
support
in
in
the
near
term.
So
thank
you,
mr
president.
B
Docket
zero
one,
eight
five
will
remain
in
committee.
Docket0291
has
been
withdrawn
from
the
agenda
at
this
time.
Mr
clerk,
please
read
docket
zero.
Three
one.
C
B
N
Mr
president,
on
monday
march
13th,
the
committee
held
a
hearing
on
docket
0312,
an
ordinance
regarding
residential
picketing
to
protect
the
quality
of
residential
life
in
our
city.
This
matter
was
introduced
by
the
mayor
on
march,
2nd
2022
and
according
to
council,
rules
must
be
acted
upon
by
this
body
before
may
2nd
2022.
N
I
want
to
thank
my
council
colleagues
that
were
able
to
join
us
councillor,
murphy
councilor,
louis
jen,
councillor
bach
councilor,
braden,
councillor
fernandez,
anderson
councilor,
flaherty,
councilor,
mejia,
councillor
flynn
and
councillor
lara.
I
also
want
to
thank
chief
milor
for
joining
us
from
the
administration.
N
This
ordinance
would
limit
the
ability
of
individuals
to
engage
in
targeted
picketing
between
9
pm
and
9
am
for
this
ordinance,
targeted,
picketing
means,
pickening,
protesting
or
demonstrating
directed
towards
a
specific
residence.
This
ordinance
would
work
in
addition
to
existing
laws
around
excessive
noise.
Disturbing
the
peace
and
blocking
streets
and
sidewalks
violation
of
the
ordinance
would
result
in
a
fine
of
100
for
the
first
offense
200
for
the
second
offense
and
300
for
the
third
and
any
subsequent
offense.
The
ordinance
would
be
enforced
by
the
boston
police
department.
B
We're
back
in
session!
Thank
you,
mr
president,
council
of
royal,
you.
N
Have
the
floor,
thank
you.
During
the
hearing,
the
committee
discussed
the
legality
of
the
ordinance
and
whether
it
would
unreasonably
restrict
first
amendment
rights.
There
was
some
discussion
of
including
a
sunset
clause
or
more
clearly
defining
which
protests,
demonstrations
and
picketing
would
be
covered
by
this
ordinance.
Several
counselors
highlighted
the
fact
that
this
ordinance
was
not
introduced
in
a
void,
but
rather
in
the
context
of
hateful
extended
attacks
in
the
mayor's
residential
neighborhood.
N
While
the
law
department
did
send
a
letter
discussing
some
high-level
legal
aspects
of
the
ordinance,
they
declined
to
attend
the
hearing,
and
the
committee
was
not
able
to
get
further
clarification
on
how
the
ordinance
could
be
more
narrowly
tailored.
Several
counselors
also
inquired
about
the
lack
of
enforcement
of
the
city's
existing
noise
ordinance
and
expressed
concern
over
the
addition
of
this
ordinance.
Instead
of
enforcement
upon
an
existing
law,
the
committee
will
be
submitting
requests
for
information
to
the
administration,
including
an
explanation
from
the
police
department,
about
why
existing
noise
ordinance
has
not
been
enforced.
B
Me,
that's
your
warning,
sir.
Please
do
not
disrupt!
Please
do
not
disrupt
this.
This
hearing,
you
have
your
right
to
your
opinion
not
to
disrupt.
Please
escort
him
out,
please,
let's
take
a
quick,
quick.
N
We're
back
in
session.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
The
number
of
attorneys
within
the
law
department,
their
responsibilities
and
their
salaries,
as
well
as
the
amount
of
money
spent
on
contracting
outside
legal
counsel,
whether
a
stay
away
order
would
be
a
more
effective
punitive
measure
rather
than
fines.
This
hearing
has
also
included
a
large
amount
of
public
testimony
and,
as
chair,
I
would
just
like
to
correct
some
misinformation
that
may
have
been
spread
because
of
this
hearing.
The
coven
19
virus
is
real.
N
It's
not
a
hoax
vaccines
are
approved,
safe
and
important
way
to
prevent
serious
illness
and,
in
addition,
city
hall
has
been
open
to
the
public
since
last
summer.
I
also
want
to
thank
our
central
staff.
You,
lady
candice,
and
christine,
whose
patients
leading
up
to
and
throughout
the
hearing
allowed
it
to
go
as
smoothly
as
I
believe
it
possibly
could.
N
P
P
P
I
want
to
give
a
quick
history
lesson
because
there's
a
lot
of
institutional
knowledge
about
cannabis
that
needs
to
be
brought
into
this
moment
and
hopefully
will
be
discussed
as
we
discuss
how
it
is
going
on
in
the
city,
as
many
of
you
know,
in
2016,
the
city
of
boston
voted
overwhelmingly
to
decriminalize
and
outright
legalize
cannabis.
A
part
of
the
statewide
initiative.
P
The
statewide
initiative
also
required
the
creation
of
a
state
agency
called
the
ccc,
the
cannabis
control
commission
and
they
have
a
specific
mandate,
a
moral
mandate
to
undo
the
harm
of
the
war
on
drugs
that
allows
for
cities
and
towns
also
to
opt
in
or
opt
out
of,
having
legalized
marijuana
and
the
sale
of
it
or
cannabis.
I
should
say
in
their
districts,
but
it
also
puts
on
them
an
obligation
to
also
deal
with
the
war
on
drugs
and
the
harms
and
caused
by
it.
P
Moreover,
when
we're
talking
about
from
the
statewide
mandates,
you
are
required
every
city
in
town
to
have
at
least
20
of
the
liquor
licenses.
You
must
have
20
of
those
in
terms
of
cannabis
establishments
and
licenses.
So
we
have
a
quota
to
meet.
We
have
a
more
obligation
to
meet.
We
have
also
a
an
industry
to
grow
and
to
regulate
in
the
city
of
boston
that
the
city
of
boston
overwhelmingly
chose
to
be
regulated
and
to
grow
here.
P
Now,
with
all
of
that
being
said,
there
was
a
delay.
Some
people
felt
the
prior
administration
had
taken
too
long
and
even
trying
to
establish
a
system
to
give
out
licenses
to
give
out
host
community
agreements,
which
is
basically
the
way
in
which
we
can
contract
with
a
dispensary
to
allow
them
to
open,
and
they
felt
that
there
was
due
to
the
baker
administration
and
the
wallace
administration
seemed
to
over
oppose
the
legalization.
There
seemed
to
be
the
unclear
understanding,
but
eventually
we
opened
up
the
office
of
emerging
industries.
P
P
No
one
gets
to
say
not
in
my
backyard,
because
everyone
voted
for
it.
So
as
a
result,
we
didn't
want
a
green
mile
as
well,
where
it's
just
that
neighborhood
to
go
to
to
go,
get
high
or
go
get
your
stuff.
As
a
result,
a
half-mile
buffer
zone
was
put
into
this
regulation
to
separate
them
and
to
encourage
diversity,
geographic
diversity.
That
is
why
it's
put
in
there's
no
other
industry,
nor
other
vice
in
the
city
of
boston
that
has
a
buffer
zone
like
that.
P
P
Now
I
do
want
to
note
that
your
office
of
emerging
industry
was
called
by
this
body,
which
is
our
number
one
role
which
is
to
hold
accountable
and
to
demand
answers.
Counselor
janie
at
the
time
held
a
hearing
specifically
to
ask
what
is
going
on
and
why
aren't
people
getting
their
licenses?
What
are
the?
What
are
the
point
system
you're
even
using,
and
why
is
it
that
this
person
got
it
and
this
person
didn't
in
east
boston?
P
They
were
physically
in
front
of
him
in
line.
That's
it.
He
came
up
and
said
well,
I
would
like
to
also
open
up
one
and
they
said
sorry
you're
within
a
half-mile
buffer.
They
enforce
it
against
him.
They
could
have
easily
switched
the
order
and
favored
the
local
veteran
they
chose
not
to,
and
they
had
no
guidance
to
do
so.
P
These
licenses
are
connected
to
the
hca,
so
now
we
have
a
cannabis
board.
This
did
not
exist
when
the
half
mile
buffer
was
introduced
introduced.
This
did
not
exist
when
we
legalized
it.
It
existed
three
years
later
and
that
board
has
grown
immensely
and
has
made
the
entire
process
very
transparent.
They
have
hearings,
they
require,
for
the
first
time,
a
district
city
councillor
to
be
notified
to
write
the
letter
of
opposition
of
support.
All
of
these
things
happen
in
the
public
eye.
They
require
a
community
meeting.
P
All
of
these
things
before
the
person
can
even
come
in
front
of
them
and
they
have
to
have
security.
They
have
to
show
that,
if
they're
an
equity
applicant-
and
that
was
one
of
the
best
things
one
of
the
lasting
legacies
of
councilor
janie
former
mayor
janie-
is
the
equity,
the
one
for
one
requirement,
so
that
corporations
can
come
in
and
just
take
up
all
the
good
spots
and
take
up
all
the
cannabis
areas.
We
have
a
one
for
one,
but
that
only
exists
for
the
bcb
equity
applicants
only
exist
with
the
bcb.
P
P
We
added
in
indigenous
people
we
this
body
and
the
thing
is
we,
this
body
can
only
add
and
amend
the
bcb,
those
standards,
those
individuals
who
sit
there,
that's
where
our
power
lies
and
we
are
able
to
adjust
with
the
bcb
as
this
industry
will
adjust,
because
we're
going
to
have
on-site
consumption
at
some
point.
We're
going
to
have
restaurants
at
some
point
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
regulate
them.
P
P
That's
moving
like
this
is
moving
faster
than
them
with
different
standards
in
them
with
equity
obligations
that
they
do
not
have
are
not
trained
in,
don't
know
what
they're
talking
about
asking
about
race,
asking
about
equity
applicants
to
only
cannabis
establishments,
they
don't
ask
about
the
color
or
the
racial
demographics
of
the
developers
who
come
before
them,
trust
and
believe
it's
nowhere
near
as
diverse
they
don't
ask
about
it:
they're
not
trained
in
it.
Yet
they
play
around
and
what
happens?
P
P
When
we
had
the
hearing
about
the
original-
and
I
introduced
a
zoning
amendment
to
remove
the
zba
when
they
came
forward,
one
of
the
applicants
owner
of
prior
races
said,
if
I
didn't
have
to
go
to
the
zba,
I
would
have
saved
forty
thousand
dollars.
I
wasted
time
and
money,
that's
what
we're
doing
to
an
emerging
industry.
That's
supposed
to
actually
be
repairing
the
harm
on
black
and
brown
individuals
who
are
harmed
by
the
war
on
drugs.
P
We
continue
that
harm
by
bureaucratic
mess
that
we
allow
to
continue
to
happen.
So
last
year
I
introduced
the
zoning
amendment.
It
did
go
to
the
zoning
commission
during
that
conversation,
counselor
bach
and
I,
which
we
disagreed
on
the
bro
on
the
broadness
of
my
amendment.
We
disagreed,
but
we
believe
we
came
to
it.
I
think
a
narrowly
tailored
compromise.
P
I
hope
that
council
brock
will
come
to
the
hearing
on
this.
To
talk
about
that
narrowly
tailored
compromise
as
a
district
city
councilor,
I
am
sympathetic
with
her
situation
and
that
she
represents
predominantly
the
downtown
neighborhoods
where
there
might
be
an
oversaturation
of
a
lot
of
industries,
including
cannabis.
P
So
I
know
that's
a
lot,
but
I,
like
half
the
council,
wasn't
here
when
all
this
happened,
so
I
wanted
you
to
know
why
this
is
so
important.
We
have
this
conversation.
We
are
talking
about
real
money
and
the
tens
of
millions,
if
not
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars.
We
are
talking
about
an
obligation,
a
moral
one,
to
make
sure
that
money
flows
equally
equitably
into
hands
of
people
who
are
formerly
incarcerated
into
people
who
are
veterans
who
are
indigenous,
who
are
black,
who
have
grown
up
in
communities
that
have
been
over
over-policed.
P
All
of
that
is
in
our
hands
and
by
the
way,
if
we
separate
the
zba,
it's
solely
in
this
body's
hands,
that's
the
kind
of
control
and
the
movement,
and
also
the
empowerment
that
we
need
to
have.
The
zba
has
nobody
on
there
that
deals
with
public
safety.
They
do
not
have
somebody
on
there.
That's
dealing
with
economic
equity.
We
put
them
on
the
bcb,
they
don't
deal
with
public
health
they're,
not
dealing
with
addiction
specialists.
All
of
them
are
on
the
licensing
board
right
now
we
have
the
expertise.
P
Why
are
we
letting
them
do
this
so
apologize
for
the
length
of
time
I
just
felt
it
was
very
necessary
that
you
understood
my
passion
in
this.
My
neighborhood
was
the
one
that
got
screwed
over
the
most
in
this
back
and
forth
and
half
mile
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
We
now
have
four
candidates,
establishment
in
east
boston,
half
of
whom
are
equity
applicants
I'm
proud
of
that,
so
I'm
not
against
the
industry,
I'm
also
not
looking
to
promote
it.
P
B
D
And
thank
you
to
the
previous
speaker
as
the
original
sponsor
of
the
half-mile
buffer
and
as
the
former
chair
of
government
operations
worked
closely
on
the
ordinance
that
created
the
boston
cannabis
board.
I'm
happy
to
have
this
discussion.
Please
add
my
name,
and
it
was
obviously
a
great
recap
of
things
that
have
happened
to
date.
So
as
a
referenced,
the
spirit
in
the
intent
of
the
buffer
zone
was
to
ensure
cannabis
facilities
were
cited
equitably
throughout
the
city.
D
Unfortunately,
our
zba
has
approved
a
few
buffer
zone,
conflicts
and
they've
denied
others,
exposing
the
city
to
potential
legal
action
and
causing
additional
lack
of
predictability
and
fairness
for
residents,
first
and
foremost,
as
well
as
for
the
business
owners
who
are
out
there,
trying
to
make
commitments,
signing
leases,
getting
securing
investors
trying
to
navigate
the
lengthy
permitting
process
to
site
a
fully
legal
business
with
that
said,
I
think
it's
also
important
to
note
that
that
we
as
a
city
were
familiar
with
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
process.
D
Our
residents,
our
civic
groups,
understand
how
to
engage
in
that
process
that
takes
place
every
week
in
this
building.
On
the
second,
on
the
upstairs
on
tuesdays,
the
state
law
that
legalized
marijuana
also
allows
for
municipalities
to
control
the
time
place
and
manner
of
cannabis
establishments,
and
that
does
not
need
to
be
done
through
local
zoning.
So
we
do
have
a
cannabis
board
and
we
could
empower
them
to
make
these
decisions
at
the
end
of
the
day.
For
me,
it's
about
predictability
and
process,
it's
about
fairness
and
it's
about
upholding
the
half-mile
buffer
zone.
D
That's
that's
in
the
zoning
code
and
it
can't
be
about
who
you
know
and
who
you
hire
and
this
meeting
in
that
meeting
we
have
a
half-mile
buffer
zone
that
was
supported
by
this
body
that
was
supported
overwhelmingly
by
residents
across
the
city.
Who
asked
us
to
do
that,
and
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
a
public
discussion
about
this.
Let's
get
the
civic
associations
in
the
community
groups.
Let
them
get
them
in.
I
know
that
when
we
talked
about
this
the
last
time
there
was
concern
because
that's
the
process.
D
They
know
they
know
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
process.
They
know
that
they
deal
with
officer
officer,
neighborhood
services.
They
work
with
district
and
at-large
counselors
and
our
staffs.
Maybe
it
was
sort
of
a
new,
a
new
sort
of
process
for
them,
but
we
need
to
bring
them
in
so
that
they
understand
that
the
cannabis
board
that
we
have
up
and
running
they
can
be
empowered
to
make
these
decisions
that
these
aren't
local
zoning
decisions,
but,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
again
predictability
process.
D
Fairness
in
upholding
the
half-mile
buffers
is
key
to
this
entire
equation.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
Look
forward
to
the.
B
O
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
to
counselor
edwards
for
both
reintroducing
the
conversation
and
for
that
summary
to
everyone.
I
think
that
we,
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
councilor
edwards
mentioned
in
passing,
but
I
just
want
to
underscore
is
that
I
think
this
council
passed
last
year
in
ordinance
a
number
of
changes
to
the
bcv
in
order
to
address,
as
councilor
flaherty
was
saying,
the
question
of
whether
the
bcb
itself
was
considering
location
in
the
buffer
zone
because
part
of
what
was
happening
was
that
the
beast.
O
There
was
a
sense
that
the
buffer
zone
question
was
sort
of
being
punted
to
the
zba
and
that
therefore,
if
we
took
the
zba
out
of
the
process,
we'd
be
taking
out
that
factor
altogether
and
so
councillor
edwards
her
with
her
leadership.
We
passed
something
that
put
more
expertise
in
zoning
and
more
focus
on
location
into
the
bcb
side
of
the
equation
and
also
raised
the
standard
for
a
buffer
zone
exemption
that
the
bcb
was
weighing,
and
I
and
I
want
to
give
credit
to
the
cannabis
board.
O
I
think
we've
seen
them
reflect
those
changes
like
we've
seen
them,
because
that
was
another
question,
as
will
they
do
it,
but
but
we've
seen
them
kind
of
process
those.
I
think
that
the
remaining
thing
that
we
have
to
navigate-
and
it's
going
to
be
the
topic
of
further
conversation,
is
just
that,
aside
from
the
concern
downtown
about
concentration,
we
have
both
in
my
district
and
I
know
a
number
of
colleagues
districts.
O
These,
like
neighborhood
business
sub
districts,
where
a
lot
of
uses
are
all
on
top
of
each
other
and
one
of
the
ways,
historically,
that
we
figured
out
how
to
deal
with
the
fact
that,
like
five
different
people
are
getting
deliveries
for
their
businesses,
all
to
one
corner
is
that
we
basically
use
the
zba
process
as
a
way
to
be
like.
Where
are
you
storing
your
trash
and
what
are
you
doing
with
deliveries
and
stuff?
O
And
so
one
of
the
one
of
the
concerns
that
arose
on
in
my
district
was
okay,
but
that
level
of
granular
detail
isn't
really
what
the
bcb's
talking
about.
But
if
someone's
going
to
open
a
stationary
store
in
this
sub-district
they're
going
to
need
to
talk
about
this
with
their
neighbors
and
we
don't
want
it
to
be
that
a
marijuana
store
doesn't
have
to
talk
about
those
things
with
their
neighbors.
O
So
that's
sort
of
the
the
kind
of
operational
challenge
that
we're
dealing
with
in
the
sub-districts,
but
I
think,
as
councilor
edward
said,
that
we
sort
of
move
towards
a
a
narrowly
tailored
solution
to
that
problem
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
discussing
it
further.
So
thank
you,
mr
president.
B
Q
Thank
you,
president
flynn,
and
thank
you
to
councilor
edwards
for
for
offering
this
hearing
order.
I
just
wanted
to
speak
in
support
of
reviewing
the
process
of
how
we
approve
cannabis
doors
in
our
neighborhoods,
but
also
wanted
to
caution
us
to
maybe
use
a
wider
lens
when
we're
looking
at
it.
I
know
of
at
least
two
instances
when
the
boston
cannabis
board
has
approved
two
locations
within
the
same
half
mile,
and
then
the
zba
has
had
to
make
the
decision
on
which
one
they
were
going
to
approve
in
the
neighborhood.
Q
One
of
those
instances
is
outside
of
my
district
one
instance
is
curry,
is
currently
excuse.
Me
currently
live
in
jamaica,
plain
where
the
cannabis
board
approved
one
corporation,
one
equity
applicant,
and
now
the
zba
is
left
to
make
a
decision
about
who
goes
there.
In
the
other
instance,
it
was
in
a
different
neighborhood.
The
zba
made
the
choice
to
obviously
leave
in
the
equity
participant,
and
so
I
say
that
to
say
that
I
would
like
us
to
really
look
at
the
entire
process.
Q
Find
the
inflection
points
on
where
we
can
make
changes
to
make
sure
that
it's
streamlined
and
also
I
am
supportive,
I'm
not
supportive
of
the
cpa
in
any
way,
shape
or
form,
but
also
thinking
about
how
we
remove
remove
bureaucracy
without
zoning
in
on
only
one
issue.
When
we've
also
seen
similar
decisions
come
out
of
the
boston
cannabis
board.
So
I
really
look
forward
to
having
this
discussion.
Q
B
Anyone
else
like
to
speak
on
this
matter.
Would
anyone
else?
Would
anyone
like
to
add
their
name?
Please
raise
your
hand.
Please
add:
council
arroyo,
councillor
ball
councillor,
braden
councillor
fernandez,
anderson
council,
flaherty,
council,
lara
consolution,
councillor,
mejia,
council,
murphy,
council
rollin,
please
add
the
chair,
docket
zero.
Three
eight
one
will
be
referred
to
the
committee
on
planning
development
transportation.
I
Thank
you,
mr
president.
This
is
a
hearing
order
on
an
important
on
the
importance
of
the
census
and
demographic
demographic
data
and
the
consequences
of
an
undercount.
I
The
important
work
of
population
estimates,
projections
and
demographic
interpretations
happens
every
year
and
every
day,
as
we
know,
the
election
department
conducts
our
annual
residential
listing,
which
is
which
some
decision
making
is
based
on.
However,
there
are
additional
annual
programs
in
the
sense
programs
of
the
census
bureau,
which
would
significantly
impact
boston
over
the
next
decade
if
we
do
not
collect
correct
the
inaccuracies
of
the
2020
census.
I
The
city
of
boston
has
a
record
of
successfully
disputing
estimates
in
the
count
in
2005
2006
2007
2008
2014,
with
the
cities
of
official
population
estimates
being
revised
with
increases
between
5
000
to
over
35
000
residents
at
a
time
any
change.
I
just
want
to
state
that
any
any
changes
or
correction
of
the
numbers
will
not
influence
our
discussions
regarding
redistricting
or
re
representing
within
the
city.
I
There
is
also
the
city,
the
census,
bureau's
housing
unit
estimates,
which
also
uses
the
20
census,
2020
census,
population
base
and
factors,
the
boston's
reported
building
permits
and
new
residential
construction.
K
President
flynn,
I
just
rise
to
say
to
add
my
name
and
to
say
that
I
support
this
hearing
order.
We
know
that
with
under
counts.
They
severely
affect
immigrant
populations
oftentimes,
who
are
afraid
to
answer
census
questions,
especially
under
this
past
administration.
K
We
know
that
if
it
affects
transient
folks,
those
are
under
houzz,
black
and
brown
folks,
and
that
this
and
accounting
is
directly
tied
to
a
federal
funding
right
as
seeing
seeing
and
realizing
a
decrease
in
funding
at
that
level,
and
so
I
100
support
this
hearing
order
so
that
we
can
get
our
numbers
right
so
that
we
can
get
the
funding
that
we
deserve
for
our
neighborhoods
and
for
our
black
and
brown
and
immigrant
communities.
Thank
you.
B
I
also
wanted
to.
I
also
wanted
to
state
that
during
the
census
count
there
was
a
lot
of
tremendous
work
from
various
neighborhood
and
civic
groups,
including
the
chinese
progressive
association,
the
castle
square,
tenants
association,
the
naacp
in
boston,
and
this
during
this
count,
this
census
count.
It
happened
during
the
pandemic
and
a
lot
of
the
a
lot
of
my
constituents,
weren't
answering
their
door
or
their
phone,
especially
in
the
aapi
community
here
in
boston.
B
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
counselor
braden
for
the
important
work
that
you're
doing
on
this
on
this
issue.
Would
anyone
else
like
to
would
anyone
like
to
add
their
name?
Please
raise
your
hand,
please
add
counselor
arroyo,
councillor
bark
counsel,
edwards
counselor
fernandez,
anderson
council,
lara
councillor,
legend
council,
mejia,
council,
murphy,
council.
Overall,
please
at
the
chair,
docket
zero.
Three
eight
one
will
be
referred
to
the
committee,
I'm
sorry
yeah,
ze,
docket,
zero.
Three
h
will
be
referred
to
the
committee
on
city
services
in
innovation
technology.
L
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
to
council
arroyo
for
co-sponsoring
this
resolution
with
us.
This
morning.
We
kicked
off
our
day
in
support
of
the
shah,
and
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues,
councilor
louisiana
and
councilor
murphy
for
showing
up
and
councilor
arroyo
for
supporting
the
families
there.
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
recognize
that
you
know
there's
a
lot
happening
in
our
education
system
right
now
and
there's
a
lot
of
concerns
around
whether
or
not
families
are
really
being
heard,
and
students
and
educators
being
paid
attention
to.
L
So
when
our
office
was
reached
out
to
by
some
of
the
folks
in
the
show
we
took
it
upon
ourselves
to
lean
into
the
conversation
and
to
create
space
and
to
not
just
listen
but
to
roll
up
our
sleeves
and
organize
alongside
them.
So
we
utilized
our
social
media
platform
and
our
voice
to
uplift
theirs
right,
but
it
was
really
the
young
people,
the
little
ones
who
took
to
the
streets
who
went
to
the
school
committee
meetings
and
told
their
stories
they're
the
reasons
why
they
were
able
to
secure
their
fourth
grade.
L
L
So
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
we
are
filing
this
resolution
because
it's
really
important
for
the
administration
to
recognize
that.
While
we
appreciate
the
two
fourth
grades,
that
there's
still
a
lot
more
to
do
and
there's
a
saying
that
if
it's
not
broke,
don't
fix
it.
L
What
are
we
doing
to
fund
schools
that
nurture
educational
excellence
like
the
shah
does,
and
I
hope
that,
as
as
a
council,
we
can
send
a
message
through
this
resolution
that
we
are
invested
in
the
academic
future
of
our
students
and
to
expand
models
that
work
best
for
our
students
in
our
community.
I
move
that
we
suspend
and
pass
the
rules
and
pass
this
resolution
today.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you,
president
flynn,
and
thank
you
council,
julia
mejia,
for
your
advocacy
on
behalf
of
the
shaw
school
and
thank
you
to
councillor
louis
jan
and
council
murphy
for
being
present
this
morning.
It's
great
that
their
advocacy
was
heard
when
it
comes
to
the
addition
of
a
fourth
grade.
N
We
are
still
going
to
be
working
towards
a
fifth
and
sixth
grade,
so
that
is
an
alignment
with
our
school
communities,
so
that
the
shah
and
their
families
can
continue
to
grow
and
learn
in
a
community
that
they
are
comfortable
with
that
they
want
to
be
in
that
they
want
to
continue
to
grow
in,
and
so
we
will
continue
the
advocacy
to
do
that.
N
I'm
grateful
that
bps
responded
to
their
advocacy
by
providing
that
fourth
grade
class,
and
now
we
have
to
continue
to
move
to
bring
it
into
alignment
with
our
first
through
sixth
grade
model
that
that
we
have
for
the
district,
and
so
thank
you
to
the
to
the
shaw
and
the
parents
who
have
been
on
this
from
day
one
for
months.
N
I'm
grateful
to
the
organizing
teachers
there
and
to
the
students,
most
of
all
for
ensuring
that
they
got
the
resources
that
they
deserved,
and
I
hope
that
as
we
move
forward
with
bps,
it
doesn't
rely
on
having
first,
second
and
third
graders
continue
to
have
to
rally
for
the
resources
that
they
deserve.
We
shouldn't
put
them
in
those
positions
to
begin
with,
and
so
I'm
grateful
to
them
for
doing
that,
and
I'm
grateful
to
bps
for
answering
it,
and
I
hope
that
we
have
many
less
situations
like
that
moving
forward.
Thank
you.
President
flynn,.
F

So
I'm
definitely
here
in
support
of
this,
and
any
promises
made
to
school
committees
should
not
be
able
to
go
back
on
because
the
instability
and
the
ever
changing
leadership
at
the
bowling
building,
so
making
sure
that
we're
advocating
for
this
school
community
and
that
that
promise
is
kept,
and
it's
great
that
the
children
are
going
out
and
fighting
for
this.
But
we
as
leaders
and
adults
in
the
city
should
always
be
backing
our
young
children
and
making
sure
that
you
know
they
get
what
they
deserve.
B
K
Thank
you.
President
flynn
just
want
to
underscore
what
my
colleagues
have
already
said,
though
the
community
rally
this
morning
was
amazing.
It
was
led
completely
by
the
students
there
who
are
set.
You
know
second
graders
third
graders
and
they
are
the
ones
who
are
leading
the
way
on
this
issue.
So
it's
up
to
us
to
listen.
You
go
to
these
school
committee
meetings
and
you
hear
them
speak
out,
and
then
they
send
you
an
email.
K
They
are
really
serious
about
saving
their
school
and
we
also
do
a
disservice
to
our
families
here
and
wreak
havoc
on
the
planning
process
for
our
families.
When
we
promise
the
communities
one
thing
and
then
we
draw
back
right
and
if
we're
serious
about
bps
and
about
making
it
a
a
system
where
our
families
can
enroll
their
kids,
we've
got
to
make
sure
that
we
allow
them
the
room
and
the
space
to
plan
for
the
future.
K
To
know
if
they're
going
to
have
a
fourth
grade
and
a
fifth
grade-
and
this
goes
just
beyond
the
shaw
to
other
schools
that
are
trying
to
expand
and
have
been
made-
promises
like
the
mccormick
and
bcla
of
expansion
of
improvement.
But
yet
when
it
comes
time
to
put
the
money
where
the
mouth
is,
we
don't
see
that
work
actually
happening.
K
So
we
do
need
to
really
be
honest
when
we're
communicating
with
our
school
communities
about
the
plan
for
the
school
to
expand
it
to
help
it
grow
or
if
it's
a
school,
that
there
you
know
that
there
is
no
other
alternative,
but
to
close
it,
we
need
to
be
honest
with
families
up
front
so
that
they
can
plan
for
the
future.
That's
all
I
support
this
resolution
and
support
the
work
that
has
been
done
around
this
issue.
So,
thank
you.
B
Same
with
you,
council
murphy,
the
chief
recognizes
council
we're
all
at
this
time.
Council
royal,
you
have
the
floor.
Thank
you.
M
President
flynn
and
thank
you
councillor,
mejia
and
council
arroyo
for
this
resolution,
and
I
want
to
speak
in
strong
support
for
the
resolution
related
to
the
pa
sha.
It
was
an
honor
to
meet
with
the
students.
Recently
I
got
the
opportunity
to
visit
the
pa
sha
and
got
to
visit
classrooms,
art
classes
and
gym
classes
and
kids
were
just
so
excited
about
the
letters
they
were
asking.
M
Where
I
heard
firsthand
on
the
strong
desire,
this
community
has
to
expand
grade
levels
at
the
pa
sha
and
just
want
to
make
sure
that
those
school
committee,
those
teachers,
those
those
teachers,
those
parents-
are
involved
in
the
conversation
with
whatever
the
plans
that
the
district
does
have,
that
we
are
making
sure
that
they're
involved
in
those
conversations.
M
It's
also
because
of
their
hard
work
and
dedication
that
the
phra
will
have
a
fourth
grade.
But
there's
still
work
to
be
done
and
I
urge
my
fellow
colleagues
to
make
sure
that
we
support
them
in
this
initiative.
So
thank
you.
B
Yeah,
your
name
council,
yes,
police.
Would
anyone
else
like
to
speak
on
this?
Would
anyone
else
like
to
would
add
their
name?
Please

I
Thank
you,
mr
president.
You
may
wonder
the
equitable
global
concerning
equitable
global
vaccinations
against
covet
19,
as
we
are
in
this
moment
where
we
are
returning
to
some
sense
of
normalcy
in
in
boston
and
in
new
england.
I
This
is
an
international
issue
that
has
a
local
connection
to
this
council
in
this
city.
Greater
boston
is
a
region,
as
a
region
is
a
home
to
the
global
headquarters
of
moderna
and
to
and
a
major
research
campus
for
pfizer,
which
are
the
two
companies
that
currently
enjoy
patent
protections
over
the
covet.
19
vaccines
we're
very
fortunate
to
have
that
intellectual
powerhouse
right
here
in
our
neighborhood
and
we've
reaped
the
benefits
of
those
early
access
to
vaccines.
I
However,
there
is
a
thing
called
the
trips
waiver,
which
waiver
through
the
trips
waiver,
patents
and
intellectual
property
protections
for
the
pharmaceutical
industry
would
be
temporarily
lifted,
and
the
control
of
production,
price
and
distribution
of
covert
19
vaccines
would
be
lifted
from
pharmaceutical
industries
as
leaders
in
boston.
I
I
We
it's
time
to
turn
our
attention
to
asking
the
united
states
to
prioritize
pharmaceutical
pro
to
not
prioritize
pharmaceutical
corporate
profits
and
vaccine
nationalism
over
the
lives
and
livelihoods
of
billions
of
people
around
the
world.
I
do
have
personal
friends
in
my
church
community
who
have
family
in
india.
I
I
This
is
not
the
last
pandemic.
We're
going
to
see,
and
the
omicron
variant
may
not
be
the
last
variant
that
we're
going
to
see
in
relation
to
covet
19..
So
we
are
calling
on
the
the
biden
administration
to
expedite
this,
this
waiver
so
that
we
can
share
the
technology
and
help
save
more
lives
around
the
world.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
council
braden
is
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter?
If
you
can
raise
your
hand,
is
anyone
else
looking
to
sign
on
to
this?
Please
raise
your
hand,
mr
clara,
please
add
counselor
arroyo,
counselor
bar
counselor,
edwards,
council
fernandez,
anderson
council,
lara
consola,
jen,
councillor,

and
please
add

chair.
B
C
N
B
You
council
arroyo
and
I'm
honored
to
partner
with
my
colleague
council
of
council
braden.
As
we
celebrate
on
the
eve
of
saint
patrick's
day.
We
were
honored
to
have
the
the
minister
today
with
us,
but
we
also
wanted
to
have
the
council
general
with
us
as
well,
and
the
the
lord
mayor
of
west
roxbury,
my
good
friend
richie
gormley,
who
does
incredible
work
in
the
boston
community,
this
body
several
several
months
ago.
B
So
I'm
proud
to
be
here
today
and
recognize
the
contributions
and
sacrifices
of
the
irish
and
the
irish
american
community
here
in
boston
across
our
country.
They
were
active
in
building
trades.
They
were
active
in
our
city
city
governments
across
across
the
country,
but
they
also
served
in
the
u.s
armed
services.
B
So
during
this
month
we
celebrate
these
remarkable
achievements
and
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
the
irish
and
irish-american
organizations
across
massachusetts
that
contributes
so
much
to
our
state,
but
also
recognizing
the
important
role
that
all
immigrants
play
in
our
society
and
making
sure
that
all
immigrants
have
equal
access
to
social
and
economic
justice
as
well.
So
I'm
honored
to
partner
with
my
colleague,
councillor
braden.
Thank
you,
council
royale.
Thank
you.
Councillor.
N
I
What
am
I
doing
here
is
that
working
okay.
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
to
mr
pr,
mr
president,
for
your
initiative
and
in
putting
forward
this
resolution
today
we
talk
a
lot
about
the
great
hunger
gotta
more
and
how
it
precipitated
the
mass,
an
incredible
decrease
in
the
population
of
ireland.
We
lost
100,
we
lost
4
million
people
in
population.
I
The
population
of
ireland
was
just
cut
in
half
a
million
people
died
of
hunger
and
starvation
and
disease
on
the
island
and
millions
more
left
to
find
safety
and
shelter
and
food
in
other
places,
mainly
united
states
of
america.
Many
landed
on
these
shores
in
in
boston
there's
a
memorial
to
those
who
died
in
the
quarantine
camp
out
on
deer
island.
I
So
two
two
centuries
further
forward.
We
still
have
to
learn
from
what
happened
there.
Our
immigrants
from
ireland
faced
incredible
prejudice,
they
came,
many
of
them
didn't
speak
english.
They
spoke
gaelic,
they
were
impoverished,
they
had
suffered
malnutrition
and
they
came
here
in
poverty.
They
faced
prejudice
and
discrimination
in
jobs
and
housing,
and
they
put
down
routes
here
in
boston
and
in
the
united
states
and
and
thrived
we.
That
is
the
wish
that
all
immigrants
who
come
from
wherever
they
come
from
that
they
come
to
this
land
of
opportunity.
I
They
are
able
to
put
down
roots
and
thrive
and
be
safe.
Ireland,
last
three
weeks
ago,
when
the
ukrainian
crisis
happened,
it
was
unfolded
and,
and
the
russian
federation
invaded
ukraine,
ireland
suspended
all
requirements
for
visas
for
folks
who
were
fleeing.
I
Fleeing
from
the
war
in
2020,
in
the
midst
of
in
in
the
1840s,
in
the
midst
of
the
great
famine,
the
choctaw
nation
sent
aid
to
the
people
of
ireland
in
the
to
help
them
survive
the
great
famine
and
in
2020,
the
irish
people
returned
the
favor
and
the
kindness
by
sending
money
to
the
choctaw
nation
to
help
them
survive
the
culvert
epidemic
because
they
didn't
have
access
to
supplies
and
health
care
and
those
those
kindnesses
out
of
that
experience
of
privation.
I
The
irish
people
have
opened
their
hearts
and
recognize
the
struggles
of
other
people.
So
I
think
it's
a
learning.
Let's
pass
it
forward,
let's
extend
the
hand
of
friendship
and
let's
welcome
the
stranger
in
boston
and
I'm
very
proud
to
honor
the
irish
american
heritage
month
with
you,
president
flynn
today,
but
there's
so
much
more
work
to
do,
and,
let's
recommit
ourselves
to
welcoming
stranger.
Thank
you.
P
Thank
you.
I've
been
honored
to
represent
charlestown
in
this
time
and
and
learned
a
great
deal
about
not
only
irish
history,
but
also
how
generations
of
irish
immigrants
have
helped
to
build
this
city,
but
I
think
what
we've
learned,
also
in
any
of
our
conversations,
that
we
must
speak
truth
to
power
and
and
to
call
things
what
they
really
are.
And
yes,
we
should
have
and
and
continue
to
have
and
acknowledge
the
many
people
who
died
in
the
hunger,
the
great
hunger,
but
we
also
need
to
acknowledge
it
wasn't
a
great
hunger
accidentally.
P
P
N
Thank
you,
councillor
edwards.
When
any
other
counselor
likes
to
speak
on
this
matter,
seeing
no
hands
would
anyone
like
to
add
their
name?
N
Counselor
flynn,
I
assume
you're
seeking
to
suspend
and
pass
council
flynn,
seeks
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
docket
385.
All
those
in
favor,
say:
aye,
perfect,
all
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it.
Docket
385
has
been
adopted.
Mr
clerk,
can
you
please
read
docket
zero
three.
Eight
six
dunkin.
N
B
B
There's
a
there's,
a
possibility
that
the
uss
massachusetts,
which
is
a
submarine,
could
be
commissioned
here
in
boston,
and
this
is
what
this
resolution
would
do
is
encourage
our
federal
leaders
to
consider
bringing
the
submarine
to
boston
for
this
commission
and
the
reason
we're
doing
that
is.
Boston
has
strong
maritime
roots
in
the
city,
whether
it's
in
east
boston,
whether
it's
in
charlestown
or
or
the
downtown
area
or
south
boston,
but
the
maritime
community,
the
fishing
community,
the
port
of
boston,
it's
it's
actually
named
after
my
father
now,
but
the
longshoremen
as
well.
B
They
play
an
incredible
role
in
our
city,
but
the
reason
we're
doing
this
is
we
want
the
uss
massachusetts
which,
which
I
mentioned,
is
a
submarine,
and
it's
specifically
designed
to
have
both
men
and
women
working
and
living
on
the
sub.
And
it's
it's
it's
a
state-of-the-art
subway
woman
in
the
middle
in
the
navy
would
have
certain,
obviously
certain
private
areas
for
work
and
for
for
their
barracks
as
well.
B
So
I
think
myself
and
council
ferry
do
hope
to
go
to
d.c
and
try
to
try
to
talk
to
some
of
our
federal
officials
about
the
importance
of
the
uss
massachusetts
coming
here
to
boston
for
a
commissioning.
We
had
one
a
few
years
ago,
which
was
the
thomas
uss
thomas
hudner,
and
it
was
an
exceptional
commissioning.
B
N
Thank
you,
councillor
flynn,
and
thank
you
for
your
service
in
our
navy.
Does
anyone

After

I,
as
and
as
looking
while,
I'm
looking
at
planning
for
to
facilitate
hearings
for

city's
budget,
I
can't
help
but
to
think
about
equity
and
looking
at
the
different
ways
that
the
city
puts
out
the

budget
as

to

operations
budget
and
just
the
issues
on
not
understanding
exactly
what's
going
to
what
community
what's
going
to
different
departments
and
understanding,
especially
with
operations,
budget
and
understanding,
specifically,
who
is
it
for
or
what
issues
are
being
addressed
specifically
to
what
demographics,
so
I
I
thought
that
it
would
be
a
good
idea
for
us
to
talk
about
whether
or
not
a
metrics
or
a
dashboard
is
necessary
to
measure
any
type
of
progress
at
all.
R
If,
if
we're
making
progress,
where
is
it,
how
are
we
measuring
it?
How
are
we
monitoring
it?
How
do
we
know
that
we're
actually
building
equity
in
the
city
of
boston?
Thank
you.
L
Know
I'm
always
going
to
rise
up
for
equity
right,
so
I
know
I
just
would
like
to
just
add
that
I
think
it's
really
important,
as
as
I
learned
my
job,
you
know
this
is
my
third
year
really.

and
be

I
Thank
you,
mr
president,
thank
you
for
my
indulging
my
request
for
a
late
file
on
this
resolution.
Yesterday
afternoon
in
barry's
corner
at
the
intersection
of
harvard
harvard
harvard's
north
harvard
street
and
western
ave.
There
was
a
rally
by
the
coalition
for
just
also
brighton
to
raise
up
the
issue
of
asking
harvard
to
meet
some
of
the
commitments
that
have
been
drawn
up,
ask
harvard
to
commit
to
working
with
the
community
to
build
an
inclusive,
equitable
and
resilient
neighborhood
in
in
in
austin
harvard.
I
This
is
one
of
the
posters
from
yesterday
harvard
on
one
one
third
of
allston
and
this
neighborhood.
This
particular
neighborhood
has
has
had
a
a
long
history
of
exploitation
and
abuse
really
by
authorities
such
as
universities
and
governments
in
the
1930s
and
1950s.
They
were
redlined.
They
were
subject
to
urban
renewal
in
the
1960s.
Barry's
corner
was
demolished.
I
This
is
an
environmental
justice
community
we've
seen
institutional
expansion
by
three
universities
in
our
neighborhood.
We
have
some
of
the
lowest
homeownership
in
the
whole
city.
Austin
has
a
home
ownership
of
about
10
percent.
I
think
mission
hill's
lower.
I
think
it's
about
nine
percent,
it's
a
direct
correlation
to
institutional
expansion
in
our
neighborhood
family,
housing
for
students
and
absentee
landlords.
We
have
a
problem
with
absentee
landlords
and
speculative
investors
coming
in
and
buying
up
our
family
homes
to
house
students
and
young
professionals.
I
Students
pay
eight
hundred
to
a
thousand
dollars
for
a
bedroom.
It's
five
bedrooms
in
the
home
five
thousand
dollars
a
month.
No
working
class
family
can
afford
five
thousand
dollars
a
month
for
for
a
for
an
apartment
for
a
home.
So
this
is
an
ongoing
trend.
Right
now,
harvard
is
on
the
cusp
of
developing
their
land
holdings.
They've
started
by
doing
it
project
by
project,
giving
out
the
the
projects
to
third-party
developers
and
the
community
is
putting
their
foot
down
and
saying.
We
want
to
work
with
harvard.
I
We
want
harvard
to
develop
a
division,
a
vision
for
an
inclusive,
equitable
and
resilient
neighborhood.
We
want
to
correct
the
wrongs
of
the
past.
We
don't
want
to
see
further
gentrification
and
displacement
of
our
working
families
and
our
immigrant
families
her
this
neighborhood
of
alston
used
to
have
a
historic
african-american
population.
We
had.
It
was
the
home
to
immigrants
from
all
over
the
world,
ireland
at
italy,
greece,
armenia,
all
over.
B
I
Thank
you,
mr
president,
so
really
we're
really
asking
as
harvard
embarks
on
this
new
rolling
out
all
this
new
development
in
this
huge
space
that
we
work
together
with
the
city
with
harvard
with
the
state,
the
federal
government
for
that
matter,
to
develop
a
space
that
is
inclusive,
equitable
and
resilient,
that
we
we
want
to
see
a
a
master
planning
process
that
will
engage
with
the
neighborhood
in
a
real
way
and
make
something
that
we
can
be
proud
of
as
a
city,
and
that
harvard
can
be
proud
of.
I
B
L
Yes,
so
I
just
wanted
to
stand
and
rise
and
ask
that
my
name
get
added,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
council
braden
for
leaning
into
this
conversation
and
really
holding
harvard
accountable
right,
because
oftentimes
things
are
always
being
done
to
us
without
us,
and
I
think
we,
as
a
body
on
the
council,
also
have
to
recognize
our
responsibility.
K
I
was
there
yesterday
in
austin
at
barry's
corner,
where
it
brought
together
a
phenomenal
group
of
activists
from
around
the
city
really
standing
in
solidarity
with
our
neighbors
in
austin
to
hold
harvard
accountable,
which
owns
a
third
of
the
land
through
in
austin.
Often
through
these
land
grabs,
often
through
hiding
a
lot
of
their
assets.
Not
only
does
harvard
have
an
endowment
of
56
billion
dollars.
It
grew
by
10
billion
dollars.
It
increased
by
10
billion
dollars
in
2021.
K
They
have
the
money
to
do
everything
that
cj
jab
is
asking
for,
which
is
affordable.
Housing,
planet
planning
for
a
future
for
austin
that
includes
a
neighborhood
harvard
is
seeking
to
transform
its
campus
and
it
teaches
the
students
that
to
seek
the
truth.
K
That's
what
it
taught
me
for
four
years
and
the
truth
is
that
they
can
do
a
lot
better,
and
so
I
I
am
thankful
for
the
leadership
of
counselor
braden
on
this
issue,
thankful
for
all
of
the
incredible
activists
from
around
the
city
that
were
there
yesterday,
and
I
look
forward
to
supporting
cjab
and
austin
residents
in
making
sure
that
they
come
first
in
harvard's
land
grab.
Thank
you.
B
You,
the
chair,
recognizes
council,
murphy,
council
murphy,
you
have
the
fall.
F
Thank
you
and
thank
you
councillor
brayden.
I
was
happy
to
join
you,
council,
lugian
and
also
reponent
and
rep
moran,
and
so
many
other
strong
community
advocates.
So
I'm
happy
to
add
my
name
to
this
and
c
jab
is
going
to
fight
to
make
sure
that
people
are
put
over
profit,
so
I'm
happy
to
join.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
B
B
R
Thank
you,
mr
president,
I'd
like
to
ask
if
it'd
be
okay
for
mr
clerk
to
pull
docket
zero,
three
four
six.
B
Mr
clerk,
will
you
please
read:
read
docket
zero
three,
four
six
into
the
record.
It
should
be
on
the
last
page
in
the
green
sheet.
Yes,
dr.
B
R
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I'm
pulling
this
docket
from
the
green
sheets
in
order
to
enable
bps
to
move
forward
with
their
application
process
to
the
massachusetts
school
building
authority.
The
msaba
supports
school
districts
with
support
for
repairs,
renovations
and
major
capital
projects
for
schools
throughout
the
commonwealth.
R
R
R
B
Thank
you,
council
fernandez,
fernandez,
anderson.
The
chair
recognizes
council
block
council
block.
You
have
the
floor.
O
Thank
you
so
much,
and
I
want
to
say
first
of
all
that
I
am
supporting
the
chair's
request
today.
I
think
it's
super
important
that
boston
get
gets
these
funds
and
we've
had
an
excellent
track
record
lately
of
getting
these
funds
from
the
msba
and
obviously
we
would
not
want
to
miss
the
funding
round.
O
But
I
feel
like
it's
really
important
for
this
body,
to
communicate
over
to
bps
that
it's
just
not
acceptable
to
file
the
msba
docket
so
late,
that
there
isn't
council
time
to
conduct
hearings
and
the
reason
that
I'm
standing
on
this
is
because
at
the
our
folks
in
bps
and
pfd,
did
this
to
me
when
I
was
cheering
ways
and
means
on
several
occasions
and
now
they're
doing
it
to
counselor
fernandez
anderson
and
it's
just
not
something
that
the
body
should
accept
and
it's
and
it's
something
that
absolutely
needs
to
get
back
to
the
people
in
charge
that
they
have
to
take
their
timelines
and
back
them
out
and
make
time
for
council
oversight.
O
Because
the
reality
is
that
you
know.
These
are
amazing
grants
for
us
to
get
they're
for
roofs,
spoilers
and
windows.
But
when
we
get
them
from
the
state,
they
then
obligate
us
vis-a-vis,
that
building
not
to
like,
for
instance,
knock
it
down
to
build
a
new
building
for
like
a
20-year
period,
so
they
actually
have
like
long-term
impacts
on
bps
capital
planning,
which,
as
we've
been
discussing
today
in
relation
to
the
sha,
is
something
that
we
really
like
need
to
do
better
at
as
a
city.
O
So
I
do
like
I
recognize
that
we
will
have
other
bites
at
this
apple
and
get
a
chance
to
talk
about
it,
and
I
think
that
the
last
thing
we'd
want
to
do
is
to
not
have
the
opportunity
to
get
these
funds
from
the
state.
Since
it's
been
such
a
successful
accelerator
repair
program,
but
I
just
want
to
put
on
the
record
that
the
next
time
that
they
that
pfd
and
bps
file
these
dockets
with
us.
O
So
lately
there
isn't
time
for
a
hearing
like
I'm
just
going
to
vote
against
it,
and
I
just
think
that
we
really
need
them
to
recognize
the
important
role
of
this
body
in
this
process.
So
I
just
I
wanted
to
support
the
chair.
I
think
she's
doing
the
right
thing
today
and
pulling
this,
but
I
also
think
that
that
the
administration-
and
this
has
now
happened
across
three
administrations-
is
putting
the
council
in
a
situation
that
it
should
not
be
vis-a-vis
expenditures.
So
thank
you,
mr
president,.
B
Thank
you
councilwork.
The
chair
recognizes
council
me
here.
Council
me
here
you
have
the
floor.
Yes,.
L
So
I
just
want
to
rise
and
say
that
I
too
support
the
chair
in
pulling
this,
and
I
think
in
in
the
spirit
of
government,
accountability
and
transparency.
L
So
I
will
have
to
underscore
that
while
we
definitely
want
to
support
this
process
and
making
sure
that
we
suspend
and
pass
in
the
spirit
of
and
and
support
of
this,
I
also
want
to
just
make
it
clear
for
the
record
that
when
it
comes
to
the
way
we're
spending
our
money,
we're
going
to
have
to
start
being
a
little
bit
more
responsible
and
holding
folks
accountable
to
doing
business.
The
way
it
should
be
done.
So
thank
you.
Q
Thank
you,
president
flynn.
I
just
want
to
share
my
support
for
both
pulling
this
from
the
green
sheets
and
suspending
and
passing
it
as
the
chair
of
environmental
justice,
resiliency
and
parks
committee.
Q
This
is
really
going
to
increase
energy
conservation
and
decrease
energy
related
costs
for
the
school
and
as
the
representative
from
district
six,
three
out
of
the
seven
schools
are
in
my
district,
the
orenberger,
the
curly
and
the
english
high
school
are
all
meant
to
be
beneficiar.
Beneficiaries
of
this
grant,
both
all
three
schools
which
are
incredibly
high,
need
in
my
district,
two
of
which
are
my
alma
maters,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
stand
and
support
it,
both
as
the
chair
of
the
environmental
justice
committee
and
as
the
representative
from
district.
B
R
R
I,
of
course,
would
say
that
we
have
to
push
it
forward
and
I
again
like
I
I
I
support
it
and
I'm
all
for
the
process,
and
you
know
the
respectful
process
of
understanding
that
we
need
time
that
they
should
be
more
organized
to
file
these
things
sooner,
and
I
think
that
the
administration
did
a
great
job
with
getting
it
to
me
as
soon
as
possible.
B
B
B
I
I
She
was
a
volunteer
at
the
austin
brighton
food
pantry,
and
she
was
a
very
avid
and
enthusiastic
supporter
of
the
faneuil
branch
library.
She
was
the
treasurer
of
the
friends
and
she
died
very
suddenly
recently
and
she's
been
greatly
missed
in
our
neighborhood.
It's
important
to
hold
up
those
folks
who
quietly
go
about
the
job
of
making
our
communities
better
every
day
and
important
to
recognize
their
work,
and
I
I
want
to
just
give
thanks
and
tribute
pay
tribute
to
jeanette
today,
as
as
we
mourn
our
passing.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you,
mr
president.
You
know
I
just
want
to
quickly
take
a
moment
to
talk
about
last
night's
incident
that
happened
at
tech.
Boston
part
of
me
is
speaking
as
the
chair
of
the
committee
of
education,
but
I'm
also
mostly
speaking
here
as
a
community
member
as
a
single
mom
who's,
always
worried
about
whether
or
not
my
daughter
will
be
safe
when
I
drop
her
to
and
from
school
right,
and
while
it's
reassuring
to
know
that
the
victims
are
in
stable
condition.
L
As
of
yesterday
evening,
what
happened
at
tech
boston
will
no
doubt
spark
conversations
about
what
we're
doing
as
a
district
and
as
a
community
and
to
ensure
that
our
children
and
our
educators
are
safe
and,
and
I,
and
although
I
know
we
may
not
always
agree
on
what
the
solutions
would
look
like.
L
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
and
accommodating
care
and
mental
health
and
trauma-informed
resources
for
everyone
that
was
involved,
there's
a
lot
of
issues
around
vicarious
trauma.
You
know
people
who
have
experienced
and
have
witnessed
violence,
and
we
have
this
expectation
that
we're
just
going
to
keep
on
keeping
on,
but
at
some
point
we
need
to
recognize
and
grapple
with
the
trauma
and
the
residue
of
that,
because
sometimes
it's
paralyzing
you
may
not
even
want
to
go
to
school
anymore
because
of
it.
L
So
I
just
would
also
just
want
to
just
to
thank
the
administration,
the
administrators
and
the
mayor
for
quickly
responding
to
the
incident
and
also
for
showing
up,
and
I
hope
that
we
can
work
collaboratively
on
pathways
that
will
censor
violence,
prevention
and
community
dialogues
as
we
move
forward
in
this
discussion.
Thank
you.
