Thank

Mr

I'm
going
to
read
this
this
committee
report.
If
people
just
stick
with
me
here,
the
committee
on
planning
and
development
and
transportation
was
referred,
the
following
docket
for
the
consideration:
docker
zero
one:
three:
four,
an
order,
beginning
the
process
of
sun
setting
urban
renewals
in
the
city
of
boston
until
december
31st.
C
That's
actually
wrong.
It's
supposed
to
be
march
30.
This
is
the
original
docket.
Okay,
this
matter
was
sponsored
by
mayor.
Michelle
will
win
first
committee.
On
march,
2nd
2022
committee
held
a
hearing
on
tuesday
march
22.
2022
testimony
was
presented
by
boston
redevelopment
authority
officials
included
director
of
real
estate,
devon,
cork,
urban
renewal
manager,
chris
spreen
chief
of
staff,
heather
capisano
and
general
counsel,
eileen
brophy.
C
The
summary
is
in
2016
the
boston
redevelopment
authority,
doing
business
as
a
bpda
requested
approval
for
10-year
extension
for
the
14
active
renewal
plans
that
were
set
to
expire
on
april
thirtieth,
two
thousand.
Sixteen,
the
bpda
urged
the
city
council
to
pass
this
order
that
will
protect
the
community
development
tools
that
will
continue
to
cultivate
vibrant
neighborhoods
around
the
city.
C
After
extensive
deliberations
around
the
use
of
eminent
domain
power,
trust
and
equity
issues
in
the
lack
of
accountability
and
access
to
the
bpda
in
the
past
in
the
past
and
procedural
changes
moving
forward,
the
city
council
agreed
to
grant
the
approval
of
a
six-year
extension
of
the
fourteen
urban
renewal
planned
areas
which
is
set
to
expire
april.
Twenty
second,
twenty
twenty
two.
This
request
was
subsequently
approved
by
the
department
of
housing
and
urban
development
in
2016..
C
Devon
cork
gave
a
historical
look
back
on
the
negative
impacts
of
urban
renewal
tools
used
in
the
past
that
caused
irreparable
harm
to
neighborhoods
across
the
city,
particularly
the
west
end
and
other
parts
of
the
city.
He
explained
that
the
bpda
is
operating
in
a
new
era
of
transparency
and
accountability.
C
He
explained
that
the
bpda's
position
is
that
authorization
of
this
order
will
allow
them
to
continue
important
work
and
spur
economic
development
in
partnership
with
public
and
private
investments.
Community
stakeholders
in
in
working
with
the
boston
city
council
that
is
focused
on
the
future
development
that
addresses
equity
displacement
and
building
affordable
housing
for
the
residents
of
boston.
He
highlighted
that
the
administration
is
looking
at
development
from
the
lens
of
of
equity
and
inclusion,
community
and
community
development.
C
Through
zoning
viewer
administration
officials
testified
that
the
bpda
reviewed
the
program
and
looked
at
the
ongoing
use
of
the
urban
renewal
tools
within
the
existing
planned
area
to
determine
the
future
of
bpda's
urban
renewal
powers
in
the
city
of
boston
and
to
begin
the
process
of
sun
setting
urban
renewal.
The
bpda
is
seeking
approval
for
a
short-term
extension
of
the
nut
extension
of
nine
of
the
14
remaining
plans.
C
In
the
boston
in
boston
that
are
set
to
expire
december,
31st
2022
bpda
officials
noted
that
they
plan
immediately
to
sunset
five
of
the
14
urban
renewal
plans
on
april
22
2022,
as
the
original
intent
and
purpose
of
these
plans
have
fulfilled.
Mr
quirk
said
that
they
intend
to
return
to
the
council
with
a
plan
moving
forward
that
requires
further
extension
of
some
of
the
plans
in
order
to
wrap
up
ongoing
community-centered
efforts.
C
C
Councils
expressed
reservations
around
extension
of
timeline
of
december
31st
2022,
as
this
will
not
allow
bpda
enough
time
to
radically
adequately
review
and
analyze.
All
the
ldas
lda
parcels
in
their
inventory
councils
discuss
the
impact
on
the
owners
of
these
properties
relative
to
potential
tax
increases
in
the
possibility
of
giving
developers
an
edge
in
acquiring
these
parcels
for
market
rate
development.
C
If
these
parcels
were
to
expire
without
notice
to
the
general
public,
discussions
included
the
goals
and
responsibilities
of
bpda
to
use
the
urban
renewal
tools
to
shape
and
promote
economic
development
throughout
the
city
in
a
way
that
supports
public
good,
particularly
for
the
residents
living
in
marginalized
communities,
council
stated
that
their
focus
is
to
protect
the
residents
who
were
impacted
by
the
urban
renewal
strategy
in
the
past
and
most
and
most
importantly,
are
looking
to
protect
residents.
Who
will
be
impacted
by
the
sun.
C
Councils
expressed
concerns
in
connection
with
eight
month
extension
for
aforementioned
urban
renewal
plans,
including
the
lack
of
information
regarding
bpda's,
complete
list
of
lda
inventory.
To
date,
they
indicated
that
in
order
to
mitigate
the
potential
future
harm
post-residents
moving
forward,
it
was
determined
that
further
analysis
in
review
of
the
proposed
nine
current
lda
zones
and
other
bpda
ldas
is
necessary.
C
C
As
chair
of
the
committee
on
planning
development
and
transportation,
I
recommend
moving
the
list
docket
from
the
committee
to
full
council
for
discussion
and
formal
action
at
this
time.
My
recommendation
to
the
full
council
would
be
that
this
matter
ought
to
pass
in
a
new
draft,
for
the
reasons
stated
above.
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
I'd
also
like
to
if
council,
warrell
or
councillor
anderson
or
councillor
bach
would
like
to
to
to
speak.
I
like
them,
allow
them
the
time.
Also.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
thank
you,
council,
vaca.
At
this
time,
I'd
like
to
recognize
councillor
block
council
block
you
of
the
floor
yeah
mr
trump.
E
Speaking
substantively,
I
just
wanted,
from
a
point
of
order,
perspective
to
suggest
that
we
take
a
vote
that
the
account
that
the
new
language
is
properly
before
the
council.
Just
because
there's
a
the
committee
report
that
the
chair
read
reflects
an
update
to
the
order
and,
and
specifically
then
it
turned
out
the
updated
version
on
the
order
accidentally
had
brunswick
king
twice
at
the
end
and
not
kitchen
square.
A
E
E
And
with
that,
I
would
just
say
briefly,
because
the
chair
covered
it
very
exhaustively
that
I
think
this
is
a.
I
think
the
council
talked
a
lot
about
the
fact
that
we
want
to
make
sure
this
is
a
thoughtful
process.
It's
really
important
to
our
constituents,
and
each
of
us,
as
district
councillors
have
very
specific
district
issues
with
each
of
these,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
time
enough
to
learn
them
and
process
them.
E
So
I
appreciate
the
chair's
recommendation
that
we
extend
that
time
period
a
bit,
so
it's
not
hitting
us
at
the
exact
same
time
as
the
crunch
on
all
other
legislation
and
that
we
move
a
few
of
the
districts
that
have
some
outstanding
questions
into
that
bucket
for
study
over
the
next
year.
So
thank
you,
mr
president.

A
F
E
F
Thank
you,
mr
president.
Everyone
should
have
the
substituted
copy
on
their
desk.
It's
the
one
dated
march
30th
2022..
F
This
docket
was
sponsored
by
the
mayor
and
referred
to
the
committee
on
government
operations
on
march,
2nd
2022.
The
committee
held
the
hearing
on
march
14th
2022,
where
public
comment
was
taken
in
a
working
session
on
march
25
2022.
This
matter
must
be
acted
upon
before
may
2nd
of
2022.
F
The
proposed
legislation
would
prohibit
targeted
residential
picketing
between
the
hours
of
9,
00
pm
and
9
a.m.
The
term
targeted
residential
picketing
is
defined
as
picketing
protesting
or
demonstrating,
with
or
without
signs
that
is
specifically
directed
towards
a
particular
residence
or
one
or
more
occupants
of
the
residence
and
which
takes
place
before
or
about
the
targeted
residence.
All
other
ordinances
and
statues
would
apply,
including
laws
regarding
excessive
noise,
disturbing
the
peace
and
blocking
streets
and
sidewalks.
F
That's
the
version
that
was
submitted,
I'd
like
to
thank
my
council
colleagues
for
joining
the
working
session,
councillor
murphy
councillor,
flaherty
counselor,
lara
councillor,
fernandez,
anderson
council,
warrell,
councillor
mejia,
councillor
louis
jen,
councillor
flynn
and
counselor
edwards.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
the
members
of
the
administration
for
their
participation
during
the
working
session.
The
committee
discussed
why
this
ordinance
is
needed
when
the
city
noise
ordinance
already
exists
and
how
that
noise
ordinance
was
being
enforced.
The
committee
also
discussed
concerns
with
the
fines
and
appeals
process
of
this
particular
matter.
F
The
law
department
was
able
to
provide
clarity
on
the
legal
analysis
and
discuss
the
significant
government
interest
in
protecting
individuals,
privacy
rights
within
their
homes,
bpd
discussed
the
need
for
balancing
freedom
of
expression
and
enforcement
of
the
noise
ordinance,
stating
that
the
objective
of
the
department
is
to
de-escalate
divert
and
negotiate.
Arrests
are
a
last
resort.
Bpd
also
stated
that
there
have
been
no
citations
issued
for
violations
of
the
current
noise
ordinance
for
the
protected
protests,
but
that
the
departments
have
been
coordinating
with
the
west
roxbury
district
court
during
the
working
session.
F
Counselors
offered
several
language
suggestions,
including
defining
harm
as
a
standard,
in
order
to
provide
context
for
the
ordinance,
for
example,
regulating
activity
that
rises
above
a
noise
level
and
blocks
public
ways,
removing
the
word
towards
and
replacing
a
with
against
or
in
opposition
to
and
removing
a
particular
residence.
The
committee
also
asked
for
clarification
around
the
term
subsequent
offense
and
whether
offenses
would
be
tracked
over
a
period
of
time.
The
law
department
reiterated
that
targeted
residential
picketing
is
permissible
for
12
hours
of
the
day.
F
The
amendments
that
have
been
made
to
the
ordinance
include
the
following:
the
removal
of
the
words,
a
particular
resonance
after
the
term
towards
to
eliminate
ambiguity
so
that
it
now
reads
for
the
purpose
of
this
section:
targeted
residential
picketing
means
picketing,
protesting
or
demonstrating,
with
or
without
signs
that
is
specifically
directed
towards
one
or
more
occupants
of
a
particular
resonance
and
which
takes
place
before
or
about
the
particular
targeted
residence
amending
the
fine
structure
so
that
they're
now
lower
so
50
for
the
first
offense
150
for
the
second
offense
and
300
for
the
third
and
subsequent
defenses
and
then
defining
the
period
for
which
subsequent
offenses
happen
to
within
a
12-month
period.
F
In
other
words,
after
the
first
12
months.
If
there's
another
offence,
you
would
start
at
one
again
referencing
the
specific
state
laws
that
give
the
city
authority
to
issue
fines.
Inserting
the
word
state
before
statutes,
inserting
the
word
harassment
in
the
third
paragraph
and
finally,
inclusion
of
severability
language,
which
is
standard
practice
for
the
city,
to
ensure
that,
if
challenged,
only
the
challenge
provisions
would
be
impacted.
The
substituted
committee
report
also
includes
one
additional
amendments.
F
In
the
fifth
paragraph
that
would
prevent
information
collected
by
the
boston
police
department,
through
enforcement
of
this
ordinance
from
being
included
in
any
database
maintained
by
the
boston
regional
intelligence
center
passage
of
this
docket
in
a
new
draft
will
ensure
that
the
expectation
and
privacy
that
individuals
have
in
their
homes
is
protected,
while
maintaining
freedom
of
speech
and
assembly
rights,
the
stock.
It
regulates
targeted
residential
picketing
between
certain
hours
and
imposes
reasonable
limitations
on
the
time,
place
and
manner
of
speech
and
is
content
neutral.
F
The
purpose
of
this
ordinance
is
to
protect
the
quality
of
life
of
our
residents
and
prevent
them
from
becoming
captive
audiences
in
the
privacy
of
their
own
home.
In
particular.
This
ordinance
seeks
to
do
this
during
the
night
and
day
a
night
and
early
morning
when
such
intentional
intrusion
into
privacy
is
especially
invasive
and
burdensome.
The
proposal
in
its
amended
draft
provides
clarity
and
is
narrowly
tailored,
while
leaving
ample
alternative
channels
of
communication.
F
A
A
C
I
wish
this
body
came
around
me
when
this
was
happening
to
me.
There
weren't
people
out
in
front
of
my
house,
but
they
were
crawling
all
around
my
house
all
hours
of
the
evening.
They
were
calling
my
phone
calling
me
a
scumbag
landlord
scum
back.
C
They
were
harassing
my
wife
on
her
phone
fireworks
being
shot
at
my
house,
post
being
posted
on
my
house,
and
this
was
happening
march
april
may
june
july
august
of
2020,
because
I
took
an
action
that
was
about
transparency
and
now
because
this
is
happening
to
one
person,
we're
going
to
change
all
the
rules,
and
I
think
we,
I
think
we're
we're
edging
in
on
first
amendment
here.
I
think
we're
edging
in
on
the
right
of
free
speech.
C
Do
I
think
that
people
should
be
out
in
front
of
the
mayor's
house
at
this
point
screaming
at
seven
in
the
morning?
No,
but
it's
their
right
to
be
able
to
do
it,
and
because
it's
happening
to
one
person
now
we're
gonna
change
the
rules.
I
just
think
it's
totally
wrong
and
again
I
wish
I
knew
the
severity
of
what
happened
at
my
house.
The
last
time.
C
The
same
guy
that
drove
by
my
house
all
summer
long
and
threw
firecrackers
at
my
house
all
summer
long
I
came
running
out
of
the
house
and
all
my
neighbors
came
out
the
women
with
that
with
their
babies
and
everything,
and
they
told
me
they
were
watching
it
happen.
I
didn't
see
it.
I'm
living
on
the
second
and
third
floor,
don't
see
necessarily
what's
happening.
On
the
first
floor,
people
were
creeping
all
around
my
house.
C
This
body
didn't
really
give
that
much
of
a
care
about
me
and
my
family,
then
my
family
and
I
proper
english
correct,
but
now
because
it's
happening
to
one
person
and
she
happens
to
be
sitting
over
there
now
she
could
do
certain
things
like
maybe
have
the
police
back
up
into
her
driveway
and
get
out
the
back
door
and
drive
through
them.
She
could
do
things
like
that,
but
I
don't
think
she's
doing
that,
because
this
is
a
back
and
forth
here.
We're
looking
to
just
get
people
more
divided,
more
and
more
divided.
C
So
I
today
will
be
voting
no
on
this,
not
because
I
think
that
people
should
be
in
front
of
anybody's
house.
They
were
at
my
house,
they
called
my
house.
I
lived
with
them
for
six
months.
I
just
got
rid
of
all
the
text.
Messages
calling
me
a
scumbag
just
got
rid
of
them
because
I
don't
need
it
in
my
life,
but
I
think
that
this
is
a
problem
here,
so
when
it
doesn't
work
for
us
we're
going
to
change
all
the
rules
at
what
point?
Does
it
end
first
amendment?
G
A
great
working
session
on
this
as
but
I
know
that
a
lot
of
the
counselors
had
questions
from
the
boston
police
department
regarding
some
of
the
language
that
currently
exists,
saying
what
laws
would
continue
to
be
enforced.
I'm
just
wondering
if
the
chair's
office
ever
received
any
data
from
the
boston
police
department
regarding
requests
from
counselors
on
enforcement
over
the
last
10
weeks
in
the
last
year
on
this
on
the
laws
that
are
included
in
the
ordinance
that
will
continue
to
be
enforced.
F
So,
as
far
as
we
know,
I
know
that
the
question
specifically
and
you
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
on
this
council
louis
gem
was
they
had
made
clear
that
there
were
no
noise
citations,
that
they
had
put
up
to
their
knowledge
within
the
last
10
week
period,
and
I
think
we
asked
for
a
time
of
a
year
so
that
we
can
have
a
better
analysis
of
when
and
how
they've
actually
held
up
the
noise
ordinance.
F
We
are
still
waiting
on
boston
police
department
to
send
us
those
numbers.
They
have
not
sent
us
those,
but
we
will
continue
to
ask
and
wait
to
receive
and,
if
required,
do
a
17
f
to
get
the
information
specifically
on
the
noise
ordinances
and
how
they've
in
the
past
enforced
or
not
enforced
them
and
where
they're
doing
that
and
where
they're
not.
F
A
E
Thank
you,
council
flynn.
I
wasn't
going
to
speak
on
this
matter,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
in
response
to
what
councillor
baker
was
saying.
You
know.
I
I
think
that
a
lot
of
the
the
outreach
in
2020,
both
both
as
council
baker,
was
saying
that
spring
and
then
you
know
for
many
councillors
that
summer
after
the
budget
vote.
E
I
think
that,
as
the
chair
has
repeatedly
said,
9am
to
9pm
still
leaves
12
hours
for
picketing
and
I
don't
actually
think
that
the
media
coverage
in
the
city
has
left
anybody
unable
to
express
their
message
on
any
number
of
points
recently.
And
so
I
guess
what
I
would
say
to
counselor
baker's
point
is
that
it?
E
It
seems
to
me
that,
rather
than
being
a
reaction
like
just
for
one
person,
you're
saying
for
the
mayor,
it's
more
like
we've
got
a
consistent
pattern
here
in
which
folks
are
crossing
this
threshold
and
it's
a
real
problem
for
a
lot
of
our
neighbors
right
and
we're
trying
to
deal
with.
How
do
you
think
about
the
fact
that
elected
officials
we
answer
to
you?
E
We
absolutely
need
to
hear
what
people
are
are
saying,
but
at
the
same
time
we've
got
neighbors
who
you
know
have
a
right
to
their
sleep
at
seven
in
the
morning,
and
so
for
me,
I
guess,
as
a
counselor
who's
only
been
in
for
a
couple
of
years.
It
feels
as
though
that
this
that
this
last
couple
of
years
has
been
characterized
by
a
lot
of
activity
of
this
type,
and
so
I
don't
think
about
the
ordinance
that
we're
voting
on
as
being
just
about
the
mayor
I
do
think
about.
E
It
is
also
about
what
you
were
discussing
happening
at
your
dwelling,
and
I
I
think
that,
of
course,
that's
always
the
way
that
we
should
be
thinking
about
legislation
is
that
as
its
general
impact
and
yeah,
we
might
have
a
specific
instance.
That
makes
us
focus
on
the
issue,
but
we
should
always
be
legislating
for
general
impact
and
I
think
for
me.
E
So
I
just
wanted
to
stress
that,
for
me,
there's
actually
a
continuity
rather
than
a
discontinuity
here,
as
somebody
who
was
really
troubled
by
what
happened
to
councillor
baker.
What
happened
to
many
of
our
houses
in
the
summer
of
2020
and
and
also
what's
been
happening
to
the
mayor
and
other
other
folks,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that,
from
my
perspective,
it's
more
of
a
reaction
to
a
pattern.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
I
just
want
to
note
as
well
that
obviously
targeted
harassment
of
any
kind,
including,
and
especially
what
councilor
baker
offered
up
is
wrong.
It
shouldn't
be
happening,
and,
frankly,
you
know
last
year,
with
the
budget
votes,
we
saw
folks
homes
targeted
in
sort
of
an
isolated
incident
this
year,
and
I
think
it's
mostly
this
year
to
get
started
this
year
in
2022,
we
started
to
see
targeted
residential
picketing
in
a
way
that
we've
never
seen
before.
We
had
superintendent
bailey
on
our
working
session.
F
Those
kinds
of
mistakes
will
happen.
They
will
end
up
outside
of
people's
homes
that
aren't
the
people
that
they're
actually
trying
to
get
to.
They
are
going
to
be
putting
people
in
distress
who,
frankly,
aren't
even
necessarily
the
targets
of
who
they're
trying
to
put
in
distress,
and
so
this
doesn't-
and
I
just
want
to
be
clear-
this
doesn't
even
stop
them
from
doing
that
from
9
a.m.
To
9pm,
if
they
wanted
to,
they
could
still
go
to
any
home
in
the
city
and
do
what
they've
been
doing.
It
doesn't
actually
stop
that.
F
It
just
gives
folks
some
grace
from
9pm
to
9am
to
allow
them
to
get
ready
start
their
day.
Put
kids
on
school
buses.
Do
the
things
that
they
have
to
do
in
the
city,
regardless
of
where
their
political
leanings
are.
It
allows
them
to
do
this.
This
doesn't
even
stop
the
behaviors
that
we're
talking
about
it
doesn't
actually
say
you
can't
go
to
somebody's
home
period.
It
says
from
9
00
a.m
to
9
00
p.m.
For
12
hours
of
the
day,
we
got
24
hours
in
a
day
for
50
of
this
day.
F
If
you
want
to
go
stand
outside
of
somebody's
grandmother's
house
or
mother's
house,
unfortunately,
you
can
still
do
that.
There's
nothing
here
that
stops
that,
and
so
this
is
very
narrowly
tailored
very
contained.
I
think
the
idea
here
is
to
provide
some
grace
to
residents
to
allow
them
some
peace
in
the
early
morning
hours
because,
frankly,
they
deserve
that
they
did
not
sign
up
for
that
kind
of
picketing
in
their
neighborhoods,
and
so
that's
addressing
a
new
issue
that
I
think
we
see
escalating.
We've
never
seen
this
kind
of
escalation.
F
We've
never
had
to
deal
with
this.
To
this
degree,
I
think
it's
awful
that
it's
happened
in
the
past
and
my
hope
is
that
you
know
I
had
someone
say
it's
awful
that
we're
legislating
civility,
but
we
are,
and
so
my
goal
is
ultimately
peace
in
our
neighborhoods
for
folks
to
come
to
the
appropriate
sections,
I
have
actually
spoken
with
protesters.
I've
taken
the
time
out
of
the
day
to
do
that.
F
I
have
been
at
city
hall
and
yet
they
still
found
their
way
to
our
homes,
and
so
what
I
am
saying
period
is
when
we're
doing
these
things.
There's
a
time
and
place
to
do
them,
and
this
is
just
saying
from
9
00
pm
to
9
a.m.
The
place
is
not
in
front
of
people's
homes.
So
that's
that's
what
this
is
doing.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
A
H
So
to
follow
up
on
the
question
my
colleague,
council
louisiana,
had,
if
you
could
clarify
council
arroyo
why,
if
there
were
some
questions,
I
was
at
that
working
session
and
I
know
we
had
many
questions
and
some
of
them
were
answered
in
this
new
wording,
but
if
we
have
until
may
2nd,
if
you
could
just
make
it
clearer
for
me,
why
we're
voting
today
and
we're
not
waiting
for
some
of
those
more
of
the
answers
to
come
back.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you
because
none
of
the
questions
that
we're
waiting
to
come
back
deal
with
the
legality
of
the
ordinance
itself.
There
are
questions
about
enforcement
of
other
existing
ordinances.
F
That,
frankly,
I
think
are
important
in
our
data
we're
going
to
get
and
we
can
follow
up
on
how
and
how
we
expect
the
city
and
bpd
to
enforce
or
deal
with
sort
of
these
civil
infractions
and
whether
or
not
there's
discrepancies
in
how
they're
being
used
and
where
they're
being
used,
but
all
of
the
questions
that
had
to
do
with
legality
and
whether
or
not
this
ordinance
would
be
legally
or
constitutionally
upheld
have
been
answered
at
this
time.
F
There
are
no
outstanding
questions
on
that
that
were
posed
at
the
working
session,
and
so
that
is
why
we're
moving
forward
with
the
vote
today.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
thank
you,
mr
chair,
for
holding
the
hearings
and
working
sessions.
I
just
have
a
point
to
make
because-
and
it's
really
unfortunate
to
my
brother,
frank
baker
that
you
had
to
go
through
that
and
wrong
to
one
is
wrong.
Is
no
matter
no
matter.
What
is
wrong
to
all,
so
I
and
james
baldwin,
I
think-
and
I'm
not
don't
quote
me
word
for
word
but
in
the
letter
to
angela
davis
talked
about
if
they
come
for
you
in
the
night.
I
They'll
come
for
us
in
the
morning,
and
I
think
that
the
tone
is
about
you
know
wrong
done
to
one
human
kind
is
is
like
you
are
doing
it
to
all,
and
I'm
just
a
little
bit
disturbed
that
wanted
to
happen
to
you,
but
two
that
the
point
is.
I
If,
if,
let's
say
hypothetically
that
that
was
the
case,
you
should
I
I
believe
you
I'm
saying
in
your
case
you
should
have
been
protected
and
supported
and
I'm
sure
our
colleagues,
many
of
them
supported
you.
But
let's
say
hypothetically
that
it
was
only
about
one
person
in
this
instance.
Then
it's
wrong
wrong
is
wrong.
Right
is
right
and
when
someone
is
harassed
or
hurt-
and
if
that
has
to
go
to
the
extreme
for
us
to
change
a
thing
in
order
for
someone
to
feel
safe,
then
it's
wrong.
Then
she
is
not
safe.
I
Let's
say
it
was
only
about
one
person
remove
the
mayor
from
it.
Then
we
have
to
do
what
is
right
to
ensure
that
now
we
had
the
war
concession
and
the
police
department
was
very
clear
that
no
one
was
arrested.
There
was
there
were
no
actions
taken
and
so-
and
I
also
I'm
to
believe
that
I've
seen
it
with
my
own
eyes,
because
I
know
some
of
us
have
driven
to
her
home
to
to
witness
it
to
understand.
I
What's
going
on
and
I've
seen
it
where
officers
stand
by
and
things
happen
and
she's
harassed
and
she
has
to
walk
through
people
to
go
somewhere
as
a
woman
or
as
a
man
as
a
child
senior,
it
doesn't
matter,
she
doesn't
feel
safe,
even
if
it
was
only
about
one
person,
remove
her
position
or
her
job
title
and
tell
me
what
you
think.
That
is
that's
wrong,
so
we
have
to
address
it
either
way,
and
I
I
don't
believe
that
we
need
a
new
law,
a
new
ordinance.
I
I
knew
anything
I
think
we're
talking
about
something
totally
different.
This
is
not
protesting.
This
is
harassment.
This
is
abuse
and
and
verbal
assault.
It's
totally
different.
I
don't
think
we
need
it,
but
if
we
have
to
go
to
the
extremes,
because
there's
a
group
of
people
not
doing
their
job
not
arresting
not
taking
action
for
now
we
do
what
we
must
to
intervene
so
that
someone
can
feel
safe.
But
I
don't
think
that
this
is
just
about
the
mayor.
I
A
Thank
you,
council
fernandez.
I
wasn't
planning
to
speak
on
this
matter,
but
I'll
speak
briefly.
A
I'm
going
to
support
support
this
proposal
and
one
of
the
reasons
or
several
of
the
reasons
I'm
supporting
it,
is
based
on
the
quality
of
life
of
neighbors
that
live
near
an
elected
official
or
a
public
official.
Can
you
imagine
a
senior
85
years
old?
That's
a
that's!
A
world
war
ii
veteran,
that's
struggling
to
try
to
get
to
sleep
and
having
being
woken
up
at
nine
o'clock
at
night
or
or
seven
o'clock
in
the
morning.
Or
could
you
imagine
a
person
with
disabilities?
A
Some
respect
for
neighbors,
and
I
think
this
compromise
is
is
fair.
I
I
I
do
have
a
little
prop
problem
with
the
nine
o'clock
one.
I
I
couldn't
imagine
someone
going
to
someone's
house
at
8
30
at
night
and
trying
to
wake
someone
up
and
especially
a
little
baby
is
trying
to
sleep
or
a
senior
or
a
veteran
is
trying
to
sleep,
I'm
supporting
it,
but
I
think
this
is
a
fear,
a
fear
compromise.
A
C
I
appreciate
your
concern,
but
my
colleagues
weren't
wrapping
themselves
around
me.
They
weren't
calling
to
make
sure
my
family
was
okay.
When
the
fire
was
out
behind
my
house,
that
was
at
about
midnight.
They
were
crawling
all
around
my
house
three
four
five
in
the
morning
the
call
started
at
seven
didn't
until
midnight.
C
C
So,
at
what
point
does
she
show
that
she's,
above
it
or
more
and
she's
not
going
to
be
harmed
there?
Maybe
maybe
her
ears
will
be
harmed,
but
the
boston
police
will
not
let
her
behind
and
now
mind
you
I
lived
through
watching
watching
newberry
street
get
totally
looted.
Nobody
was
arrested,
we're
looking
to
arrest
people
here
now
for
for
noise
violations,
we're
going
to
go
up
with
these
things
and
oh
that's
above
70
decibels.
We
better
arrest
that
guy
the
city
was
on
fire.
We
didn't
arrest
anybody.
C
I
think
we
arrested
the
one
kid
that
that
burnt
the
the
police
car-
that's
what
I
saw.
I
saw
my
city
that
went
through
20,
20,
championship,
banners
and
and
and
parades
and
everything,
not
a
problem,
not
a
problem,
but
yet
we
allowed
people
from
outside,
because
I
was
standing
on
the
corners.
I
was
standing
on
the
corners.
I
was
watching
who
was
creeping
around
my
neighborhood
pennsylvania
plates
ohio
plates
florida
plates.
C
This
was
a
national
agenda
plan
out
here,
and
it
was
the
left
that
brought
this
all
here
now
that
it's
happening
to
the
left,
we're
going
to
change
the
rules
and
I
think
it's
very
specific
towards
one
person-
and
I
disagree
with
you-
that's
what
we're
having
this
this
this
discussion
about,
because
we
should
be
able
to
to
disagree
without
everybody
in
this
room.
Hating
me,
quite
frankly,
I
don't
care
if
you
hate
me
or
not,
I'm
here
to
to
represent
my
people
from
district
three
and
I'm
gonna
say
what
I
have
on
my
mind.
C
C
I
mean
the
people
that
were
that
were
that
were
looting.
The
stores
on
on
on
newbury
street,
not
a
single
person,
got
arrested.
Not
a
single
person
got
arrested.
What
about
that
business
person
that
lost
all
of
their
all
of
the
inventory?
Did
you
see
the
video
for
the
guy
on
newbury
street
with
the
bikes?
That's
in
your
district.
What
happened
there
so
yeah?
I
think
it's
wrong.
C
A
J
Thank
you,
president
flynn.
I
just
wanted
to
correct
for
the
record
that
during
the
george
floyd
protest,
53
people
were
arrested.
J
E
A
Right,
can
you
counsel,
can
you
respond
very
briefly?
Let
me
let
me
just
be
clear.
This
will
be
the
last
testimony
before
we
go
on
to
a
vote.
Yeah.
E
E
It
was
pretty
clearly
a
separate
action
from
the
folks
who
are
on
the
common
protesting,
and
so
I
just
want
to
stress
that
I
think
the
whole
history
of
that
is
quite
distinct
from
what
we're
talking
about
here,
and
it
was
of
course
something
that
I
was
deeply
concerned
about
in
my
district,
and
the
ramifications
continue
to
be
something
we
struggle
with
in
the
district,
but
it
was
not,
I
think,
connected
to
the
to
the
conversation
that
we're
having
today.
So
thank
you.
Thank.

Thank
you,
president

and
thank
you
chair
arroyo.
As
vice
chair
of
government
operations,
we
had
a
wonderful
hearing
on
monday
march.
28Th
at
10
am
regarding
the
ordinance
creating
a
commission
to
study
reparations.
The
ordinance
would
establish
a
special
commission
on
the
study
of
reparation
proposals
as
currently
written.
The
commission
would
include
15
members
from
specific
organizations
who
would
be
chosen
in
consultation
with
the
named
organizations,
the
mayor
and
the
city
council.
G
The
commission's
duties
would
include
defining
reparations,
studying
disparities
and
inequalities,
documenting
personal
stories
and
histories
and
creating
spaces
for
information
sharing.
The
commission's
findings
would
be
synthesized
in
a
report
with
specific
reparation
proposals
that
address
international
standards
of
remedy.
How
the
city
will
offer
a
formal
apology
for
its
role
in
the
perpetration
of
human
rights
violations
and
crimes
against
humanity
and
how
the
city's
current
laws
and
policies
continue
to
disproportionately
negatively
affect
african-americans.
G
I
want
to
thank
the
sponsors
councils
mejia
franz
anderson
and
warrell.
Thank
you
to
the
councils
who
attended
council
president
flynn,
councillor
edwards,
braden,
bach,
murphy
and
lara.
Thank
you
to
central
staff,

and
kerry

for
their
support,
as
I
jumped
into
this
to

this
hearing,
and
thanks
to

chief

solicevera
from
the
office
of
equity
and
inclusion
and
laurie
nelson,
the
chief
resilience
officer
for
the
city
of
boston.
G
It
was
an
incredible
group
of
panelists
who
have
really
been
dedicating
themselves
to
this
work
around
operations
and
really
encouraging
that
they
believe
that
boston
could
be
a
model.

G
I
want
to
thank
the
advocates
from
king
boston,
new
democracy
coalition,
no
naacp,
and
thank
you
to
all
the
people
who
testified
towards
this
very
rich
discussion
and
who's
written
comments,
who
are
now
all
part
of
the
record.
Personally
I
wanna
there
was
one
of
a
member
of
the
public
who
made
a
really
great
comment
during
public
testimony
is
that
this
is
a
topic
and
a
conversation
that
we
need
to
run
towards
and
not
run
away
from,
even
if
the
conversation
is
difficult
for
some
or
if
it's
a
new
topic
for
others.
G
This
is
an
important
conversation
for
us
to
repair
harm
that
was
done
so
that
we
can
continue
to
build
towards
a
more
just
boston
and
so
that
we
can
continue
to
repair
communities.
The
conversation
will
continue
in
hearings
and
working
sessions
and
I'm
proud
of
the
council
for
leading
in
this
discussion.
I
leave
it
to
the
chair
to
recommend
further
action
on
this
docket,
but
I
recommend
that
it
stays
in
committee
for
future
working
sessions.
G
A
F
Briefly,
this
will
stay
in
committee
for
working
sessions
and
we'll
we'll
get
this
out
through
working
sessions.
Thank
you
to
the
original
sponsors
for
their
creation
and
passage
and
proposal.
K
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
to
vice
chair,
counselor,
luis
jen,
for
stepping
in
and
sharing
monday's
hearing.
You
know
I
want
to
start
off
by
thanking
our
advocates.
Yvette
modestine,
dr
jamara
jamar
madari
kamara,
dr
raymond
winbush,
and
I
would
also
like
to
thank
the
administration,
especially
chief
soleus
cervera,
who
moved
her
entire
calendar
around
to
stay
and
listen
to
the
full
testimony.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Neil
giving
you
a
shout
out,
because
I
know
you
made
that
happen
so
really
do
appreciate
you.
K
One
thing
that
I
think
is
important
to
drive
home
is
that
we
are
working
on
something
that
both
stands
on
the
shoulders
of
centuries
of
work,
but
it's
also
incredibly
new.
We
need
to
both
be
looking
to
other
cities
or
even
other
commissions
here
in
boston,
but
we
also
need
to
be
setting
an
example
for
what
this
work
needs
to
look
like.
K
K
You
know
it
is
always
difficult
to
stand
up
and
speak
and
oftentimes
to
speak
for
folks
who
have
really
never
felt
heard
here
in
the
city
of
boston
and
sometimes
even
for
myself
to
speak
in
this
space.
Even
sometimes
when
my
voice
quivers.
K
So
if
we're
serious
about
this
work,
we
have
an
opportunity
to
flush
out
the
logistics
and
do
so
in
a
way
that
honors
and
that
does
not
replicate
harm.
And
so
we
are
fighting
with
and
alongside
the
advocates
who
worked
on
crafting
this
ordinance,
because
that
is
what
we
do.
K
We
step
to
the
side
and
create
space
for
other
people
to
lead,
and
in
the
spirit
of
that,
I
am
going
to
continue
to
honor
that
way
of
working,
because
it's
refreshing
and,
as
my
colleagues
continue
to
bring
their
questions
and
recommendations
to
the
space,
I'm
going
to
also
encourage
you
to
recognize
that
this
is
heart,
work,
not
hard
work,
and
if
we
can
open
up
our
hearts
as
we
do
this
work,
it
might
be
a
little
bit
easier
for
us
for
us
to
digest.
K
And
so,
let's
move
forward
in
the
spirit
of
recognizing
that
700
000
constituents
live
here
in
the
city
of
boston
and
as
a
city
as
a
whole,
we're
responsible
for
all
of
them.
So
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
and
to
my
co-sponsors
for
signing
on
and
taking
on
this
battle
because
it's
going
to
be
a
fight.
L
You,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
to
councillor
louis
jen
for
chairing
a
great
great
hearing,
I'd
like
to
thank
my
co-sponsors
council,
mejia
and
councilman
anderson
and
our
colleagues
that
attended.
I
also
like
to
thank
chief
nelson
chief
solis
sivera,
dr
kamara,
dr
winbush
yvette,
modestein,
reverend
kevin
peterson,
king
boston
and
the
new
democracy
coalition
for
joining
the
conversation
and
thank
you
to
central
staff
for
what
they
do.
L
I'm
looking
forward
to
having
further
hearings
and
working
sessions,
including
at
least
one
in
community,
for
example,
utilizing
venues
like
the
bowling
center
second
church
of
dorchester
or
the
thelma
burns
building.
I
would
love
and
I
think
it's
important
to
have
our
neighbors
involved
in
the
early
conversations
of
reparations.
I'm
encouraged
that
we
will
be
able
to
work
out
the
details
to
establish
a
commission
and
to
be
able
to
lead
on
rep
reparations
here
in
the
city
of
boston.
A
I
Thank
you
I'll.
Try
to
keep
it
brief
and
shout
out
to
all
my
co-sponsors
lead
sponsor
co-sponsor
all
the
panelists
shout
out
to
all
the
black
and
brown
people.
My
white
brothers
and
sisters
who've
been
working
on
this
allies
and
everybody
nationally
working
on
this,
a
big
shout
out
to
tennehisi,
coates
and
folks
that
I
admire
brian
stevenson,
but
I
wanted
to
just
touch
real
briefly.
I
had
something
to
read
but
honestly,
whatever
like
I,
what
I
want
to
say
is:
whenever
we
have
to
create
space
and
we
have
to.
I
As
my
colleague
mentioned
councilmember
mentioned,
we
have
to
create
space
to
do
the
hard
work.
It's
somehow
we
project
our
insecurities
on
other
and
somehow
begin
to
get
uncomfortable
right
and
so
to
have
those
conversations.
We
have
to
question
ourselves
that
the
thing
that
bothers
you,
the
most
is
the
thing.
The
pet
peeve
is
the
thing
that
you
yourself
are
guilty
of,
and
so
you
have
to
be
very
reflective
in
this
work
and
really
look
within
yourself
and
question.
I
What
is
this
really
about?
Is
this?
Am
I
upset
with
this
change?
Does
this
threaten
my
livelihood
or
my
comfort
or
my
privilege
or
my
power?
Do
you
then
be
you
know,
philanthropic
and
opening
up
your
pockets
and
your
hearts
the
quest
the
issue
is
that
when
we
begin
to
talk
about
these
things,
the
people
that
counter
these
types
of
dialogues
are
really
just
saying:
how
does
this
does
this
impact
me?
Am
I
safe?
Am
I
going
to
continue
to
be
comfortable?
Am
I
going
to
am
I
going
to
have
my
privilege?
I
Am
I
going
to
have
my
comfort
in
my
livelihood?
I
think
there's
space
for
everybody,
and,
and
sometimes
it
doesn't
mean
that,
because
you're
white,
that
you're
gonna
you're
gonna
be
on
the
opposite
side.
I
believe
that
our
brother,
white,
brothers
and
sisters
here
want
what
is
good
for
our
background
in
america.
I
believe
that
in
a
city,
but
I
feel
that
the
conversation
is
going
to
get
uncomfortable
and
we
should
be
patient
and
honest
in
order
to
really
talk
about
how
what
do
you
really
want
to
talk
about?
I
How
does
how
do
you
really
feel
about
this
and
let's
go
through
the
work
so
that
we
can
perpetuate
or
be
exemplary
of
the
behavior
that
we
want
perpetuated
in
the
community
so
that
we
are
the
leaders
so
that
we
are
saying
we
together
collectively
our
brothers
and
sisters
and
we're
working
on
this
issue,
and
we
together
are
exemplifying
what
the
community
should
look
like.
So
I
look
forward
to
that
that
camaraderie
to
that
spirit-
and
I
look
forward
to
the
work.
Thank
you.
A
E
Cyprus,
okay,
great,
thank
you
so
much
counselor
flynn.
We
had
a
great
hearing
on
monday
and
it
was
really
wonderful
to
have
brian
coughlin,
our
superintendent
of
waste
reduction,
certain
waste
of
management
services
here,
and
he
took
all
of
our
questions
and
talked
about
all
different
manners
of
what
the
city
does
on
the
waste
management
front.
And
then
we
actually
heard
from
panelists
from
both
seattle
and
I'm
forgetting
its
name
right
now,
but
just
north
hooksett,
new
hampshire
hearing
about
what
other
model
cities.
E
E
So
I
want
to
thank
all
the
colleagues
that
attended
in
particular,
I
think
the
most
exciting
thing
was
the
confirmation
that
the
the
city
curbside
composting
pilot
that
this
council
has
long
been
fighting
for,
and
I
want
to
particularly
flag
the
work
of
our
colleague,
councilor
matt
o'malley
on
this
body.
E
We've
been
fighting
for
that
and
funding
it
for
several
cycles
now
and-
and
it
now
actually
like
the
rfps-
come
back
they're
planning
to
launch
it
this
summer
and
it's
going
to
make
curbside
composting
available
to
10
000
families
at
the
beginning,
and
my
hope
is
that
that's
a
real
start
down
a
path
of
ramping
up
to
a
city-wide
service
in
the
same
way
that,
as
we
heard
seattle
has
so
I
thought
that
was
really
exciting.
But
we
talked
about
everything
from
batteries
and
and
e-waste
management
at
hazardous
materials.
E
The
fact
that
the
five
days
the
city
holds
right
now
are
just
you
know
their
way
above
demand
to
recycling
and
the
recycling
market
and
how
we
can
make
sure
that
that
we
really
put
our
city
on
a
trajectory
to
reach
our
zero
waste
goals,
because
I
think
ryan
was
very
upfront
about
the
fact
that
they've
taken
some
major
strides
and
yet
still
we
are
not
on
a
path
to
actually
meeting
our
goals
there.
E
So
it's
grateful
for
the
participation
of
the
environmental
justice,
chair,
counselor,
lara
and
a
whole
bunch
of
counselors,
and
I
think
another
thing
that
really
came
out
of
the
hearing
that
I
expect
we'll
do
more
council
follow-up
on
is,
as
councilor
baker
has
constantly
pointed
out,
and
I
think
it's
something
that
council
laura
and
I
share.
I
know
you
do.
E
So
I
think
we
learned
about.
I
can't
summarize
everything
I
mean
we
learned
about
the
fact
that
state
guidance
is
going
to
affect
how
mattresses
get
recycled
and
turned
and
thrown
away
in
the
city
of
boston.
That's
going
to
be
an
upcoming
challenge
and
I
think
just
it
was
very
brass
tack,
city
services.
E
You
know
what
we
what
we
do
and
in
many
ways
one
of
the
ways
that
cities
were
organized
and
grew
in
the
first
place,
was
to
help
manage,
manage
trash
and
waste
and
make
sure
that
people
have
the
opportunity
to
live
in
a
clean
and
sanitary
city.
So
I
was
grateful
to
host
it
and
we'll
definitely
be
continuing
follow-up.
Mr
chair
and
my
request
would
be
that
the
daca
remaining
committee.
Thank
you.
E
Oh
sorry
and
I
I
neglected
to
mention
my
co-sponsors
on
the
docket
counselor
flaherty
and
councillor
braden
who's
right
here
with
me,
who
were
wonderful
and
stayed
for
our
whole
very
long
hearing.
So
thank
you.
A
A
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
when
we
roll
the
pro
program
out,
the
different
neighborhoods
have
different
needs
in
the
south
end,
I'm
struggling
with
barrels
and
with
the
recycling
and
with
pest
control
and
adding
composting
which
which,
which
I
support,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
when
we
roll
this
out,
we
have
a
public
awareness,
educational
campaign
that
especially
includes
the
residents
but
also
includes
district
city
councils,
so
that
they
can
educate
their
constituents
working
with
ons
on
the
importance
of
this
program.
A

J
Thank
you,
president
flynn.
On
tuesday
march
29th
yesterday,
the
committee
on
environmental
justice,
resiliency
and
parks
held
a
hearing
regarding
a
city
level
conservation
corps
that
was
sponsored
by
councilor
bach.
I
was
joined
by
my
colleagues,
counselors
bach
braden,
luigen,
murphy,
mejia,
warrell
and
council
president
flynn.
We
were
also
joined
by
members
of
the
administration
chief,
reverend
mariama
whitehammond
executive
director
of
the
boston
power
corps
as
newly
named
the
newly
the
new
name
for
our
youth
green
jobs
program,
commissioner,
woods
director
when
and
leadership
from
power
corps
in
philadelphia
as
a
new
counselor.
J
This
was
an
incredibly
informative
hearing
for
me
just
to
hear
about
the
progress
that
we've
made
around
the
youth,
the
the
youth
green
jobs
initiative
and
a
timeline
for
implementation
as
well.
I
would
like
to
see
the
floor
to
the
lead
sponsor
and
I
recommend
that
the
stock
can
remain
in
committee.
Thank
you.
A
E
This
council,
in
our
supplemental
appropriation
on
june
30
of
last
year,
put
three
million
dollars
in
the
budget
to
make
this
program
possible,
and
so
it's
been
awesome
to
see
it
go
from
an
announcement
in
the
jne
administration
to
a
real
flowering
and
hiring
of
the
new
executive
director
dave
o
jefferson
in
the
woo
administration,
and
to
see
the
administration's
commitment
and
just,
I
think,
the
the
real
opportunity
we
have
here
to
to
marry
our
goal
of
meeting
climate
justice
with
a
real
commitment
to
racial
and
economic
justice
and
getting
these
good
green
jobs
for
our
young
people
in
the
city
of
boston.
E
G
G
Historically
this
body
and
as
a
city,
we
know
how
hard
it
has
been
to
get
liquor
licenses
for
our
communities,
especially
in
our
black
and
brown
communities,
because
of
how
expensive
the
liquor
licenses
are,
and
so
this
this
would
be
a
request
for
four
non-transferable
restricted
licenses
in
the
past
that
we've
attempted
to
get
a
lot
more
dispersed
around
the
city
and
we
have
failed
even
when
the
mayor
has
tried.
So
this
is
just
petition
before
liquor
licenses.
G
We
hope
to
in
the
future
work
towards
getting
more
liquor
licenses
to
our
neighborhoods,
but
this
is
just
for
the
bowling
building.
We
have
some
great
businesses
in
that
area
in
roxbury.
That
could
really
benefit
from
having
those
licenses.
We
also
know
that
our
colleague,
counselor
fernandez
anderson,
has
been
doing
really
great
work
in
d7,
and
this
would
really
help
the
businesses
in
her
district
make
sure
that
they're
able
to
make
more
money
and
revitalize
help
to
continue
to
revitalize
the
nubian
square
area
with
these
liquor
licenses.
So
thank
you.
A
K
K
K
Unfortunately,
a
lot
of
those
did
not
end
up
in
in
matapan
in
dorchester
and
other
parts
of
our
most
distressed
neighborhood.
So
I'm
hoping
that
this
is
just
the
beginning
of
the
revolution.
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
president.
Let
me
say
for
the
record
that
I
appreciate
the
nuances
involved
as
it
pertains
to
the
issue
on
of
liquor.
Licenses
said
licenses,
do
create
a
degree
of
economic
viability
for
restaurants,
but
let
me
also
state
to
quote
an
old
adage
that
a
man
does
not
live
by
bread
alone,
simply
stated.
My
deeply
felt
religious
views
and
customs
placed
me
in
a
position
of
opposition
the
partaking
of
spirits
as
a
practicing
muslim.
I
We
believe
that
the
consumption
of
alcohol
is
a
decision
that
is
detrimental
to
health
and
well-being.
However,
recognizing
the
significance
of
this
issue
to
many
of
our
esteemed
small
business
owners,
I
have
stepped
aside
and
allowed,
or
not
allowed
but
welcomed
my
sister
julie,
mejia
and
rusi
lugia
to
file
in
my
stead.
Hence
there
is
a
duality
at
play
here
for
yours,
truly,
where
the
importance
of
economical
and
spiritual
realms
are
direct
indirect
confrontation
for
me,
and
while
I
recognize
that
the
economic
realm
is
a
great
concern,
I
cannot
compromise
my
core
tenants.
I
I
A
M
The
non-profit
sector
is
now
also
often
known
as
the
third
sector,
because
they
fill
gaps
to
reach
underserved
communities,
often
overlooked
by
private
and
public
sector
services.
The
past
two
years
have
shown
the
importance
of
local
governments.
Coordination
with
community-based
non-profits
to
collectively
need
meet
the
needs
of
our
residents,
while
many
community
non-profits
stepped
up
to
serve
our
city.
The
entire
non-profit
sector
across
the
country
has
drastically
taken
a
hit
with
smaller,
locally
based
organizations
serving
disadvantaged
communities,
often
often
being
most
impacted.
M
The
country
is
experiencing
what
economists
have
dubbed
the
great
resignation
historic
rates
of
workforce
voluntarily,
leaving
their
jobs
due
to
wage
stagnation,
rising
costs
of
living
and
inflation
and
outdated
workforce
culture
with
smaller
community
based
social
services,
non-profits
being
particularly
impacted.
The
pandemic
exacerbated
many
of
the
existing
stressors
with
real
estate
speculation.
M
Long-Standing
non-profits
have
struggled
to
remain
in
their
office
spaces.
For
example,
the
brazilian
workers
center
in
allston
is
threatened
because
of
increasing
rents
among
many
others.
I'm
sure
many
of
my
colleagues
can
cite
other
examples.
M
That
means
our
goals
of
achieving
an
equitable
recovery
must
could
act
maximize
impact
through
partnerships
with
non-profits
who
have
existing
infrastructure
as
trusted
messengers
to
hard-hit
communities
with
federal
funds.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
strengthen
partnerships
by
supporting
the
incredible
import.
Incredibly
important
work
infrastruct
that
important
infrastructure
that
community-based
non-profit
organizations
in
our
city
provide,
while
also
establishing
infrastructure
for
long-lasting
transformative
government,
non-profit
partnerships
that
could
be
sustained
beyond
recovery
dollars.
M
This
is
an
essential
step
toward
equitable
and
sustainable
relief,
recovery
and
transformative
future,
and
I
look
forward
to
holding
a
hearing
to
discuss
envisioning
that
process
by
for
of
for
intentional
investment
in
our
city's
non-profit
sector.
I
also
just
today
on
on
a
similar
theme
and
a
related
related
to
this
issue.
Mayor
wu
has
just
announced
today
that
38
million
of
30
mi
38
million
dollars
to
support
non-profit
organizations
to
provide
services
to
individuals
experiencing
homelessness
through
by
supporting
15
non-profit
organizations
that
deliver
critical
services
to
support
our
unsheltered
residents.
M
The
homelessness
and
housing
instability
is
one
aspect
of
the
work
that
our
nonprofit
sector
does.
We
have
many
non-profits
working
on
supporting
families,
supporting
food
access,
literacy
and
job
training,
there's
a
whole
range
of
of
different
different
functions
that
our
non-profit
sector
does
that
and
our
non-profit
sector
have
been
providing
essential
support
for
our
communities
over
the
past
two
years
and
at
this
moment
in
time,
it's
a
timely
opportunity
just
to
reflect
on
what
they've
done
and
how
we
can
support
them
going
forward.
Thank
you,
mr
and
mr
president,.
K
Just
wanted
to
rise
and
thank
council
breeding
for
her
intentionality.
K
You
know
our
office
during
at
the
height
of
covet,
ended
up
working
with
a
lot
of
non-profit
organizations,
many
of
which
were
small,
mom
and
pop
shops
oftentimes
under
resourced,
and
really
doing
the
work
without
any
real
capacity,
and
I
think
when
we're
thinking
about
equity
and
we're
thinking
about
making
sure
that
we're
supporting
folks,
we
also
need
to
be
super.
Mindful
of
who
gets
on
that
list
and
who's
getting
that
support.
K
And
I
also
think
that,
in
terms
of
some
of
the
work
that
we've
experienced-
and
it's
not
just-
there
are
a
lot
of
folks
who
are
running
organizations
that
don't
know
how
to
speak
english,
but
have
managed
to
create
miracles
during
covet.
And
I
think
that,
as
we
think
about
how
we
support
folks,
we
I
always
go
back
to
this
information
justice
situation.
K
A
A
A
Going
back
to
docket
zero
four
three
five,
I
neglected
to
ask
if
anyone
would
like
to
add
their
name
to
that
docket.
If
you
would
like
to
add
your
name,
would
you
please
raise
your
hand?
Mr
clerk?
Please
add
counselor
arroyo,
please
add
counselor
bach
councillor
edwards,
council
of
clarity,
council,
lara
council
murphy
council
well
pleased
at
the
chair.
B
M
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
moved
to
suspend
rule

in
order
to
add
counselors,
louisiana
and
councillor
bach,
please,
as
original
co-sponsors
of
this

M
Our
cities
pilot
program
currently
calls
for
tax
exempt
educational,
medical
and
cultural
organizations
with
property
values
in
excess
of
15
million,
to
make
voluntary
payments
equivalent
to
25
of
taxes
that
would
be
paid
where
they
are
not
were
they
not.
Tax
exempt
with
half
of
the
payment
in
cash
and
half
through
in-kind
community
benefit
contributions.
M
A
G
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
to
my
colleague,
counselor
braden,
for
introducing
this
resolution.
I
am
more
than
happy
to
be
a
co-sponsor
on
this,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
as
a
city
to
make
sure
that
we
are
paying
for
the
things
that
matter.
We
have
a
climate
crisis
on
our
hands.
G
I
support
this
bill
and
I'm-
and
I
am
I'm
glad
to
sign
on
to
this
resolution,
so
that
cities
and
municipalities
can
have
a
local
option
to
tax
institutions
in
their
cities.
We
depend
so
heavily
on
property
taxes,
obviously,
and
there's
so
much
that
we're
missing
out
on
when
these
large
institutions
don't
have
to
pay
in
and
they
need
to
be
good
neighbors,
and
so
I'm
grateful
again
to
council
braden
for
introducing
this
resolution
and
very
happy
to
co-sponsor.
G
E
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
to
councils,
braden
and
luigen
for
allowing
me
to
co-sponsor
on
this.
I
think
it's
so
important
that
our
large
institutions,
our
hospitals
and
universities,
pay
their
fair
share
in
supporting
the
city
which
all
of
our
institutions
depend
on
it's
a
totally
symbiotic
relationship
and
and
given
how
dependent
we
are
on
property
tax.
The
reality
is
that
we,
just
we
can't
have
our
very
successful
non-profit
institutions,
continue
to
take
more
and
more
parcels
off
the
taxable
roles.
E
It's
just
an
unsustainable
situation
for
the
city
fiscally,
and
so
I'm
really
proud
of
the
fact
that
the
city
back
in
2009
sort
of
forged
an
initial
way
forward,
and
it
was
mentioned
it
really
is
a
model.
A
lot
of
other
cities
around
the
country
and
other
municipalities
in
the
commonwealth
have
copied
that
program.
E
But
I
think
we've
seen
in
the
last
few
years-
and
I
was
proud
to
share
the
pilot
committee
last
term,
like
that,
you
know
we're
running
up
against
the
challenge
of
when
everybody
doesn't
participate,
then
you
know
it
makes
the
folks
who
are
doing
the
right
thing
who
are
paying
their
full
pilot
assessment,
which,
in
terms
of
cash,
is
1
8
of
what
you'd
be
paying.
If
you
were
taxable
you
know
it
makes
those
folks
feel
like
they're
getting
a
raw
deal,
because
other
people
aren't
stepping
up
and
doing
it.
E
So
I
think
the
question
of
what
could
we
actually
have
as
a
local
option
that
would
authorize
this
as
a
more
than
voluntary
arrangement
seems
like
a
conversation
that
does
need
to
be
had
at
the
state,
even
as
I
hope
very
much
that
you
know
we're
able
to
reconvene
a
pilot
task
force
under
the
mayor.
That
was
something
that
happened
under
many
note.
E
E
That
was
the
sort
of
theory,
and
I
think
that
since
09,
the
conversations
really
move
where
more
of
our
institutional
partners
would
acknowledge.
Like
hey,
we
as
institutions
in
the
city,
we
have
a
stake
in
the
city's
school
system.
We
have
a
stake
in
the
city's
public
health.
God
knows
we
all
work
together
through
this
crisis.
You
know
we
we
have
a
stake
in
the
streets
and
whether
they're
clean
and
whether
they
operate
and
whether
it's
safe
to
get
from
point
a
to
point
b,
whether
you're
a
pedestrian,
a
bicyclist,
a
motorist.
E
So
I
think,
like
we've,
we've
embraced
a
bigger
picture,
understanding
of
how
what
we
do
in
this
building
affects
everybody
in
all
of
these
institutions,
and
we
need
a
pilot
program
that
reflects
that
reality.
So
I'm
really
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
co-sponsor
this
resolution
and
urge
colleagues
to
join
in
support
today.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
council
block.
Would
anyone
else
like
to
speak
on
this
matter?
Would
anyone
else
like
to
add
their
name?
Please
raise
your
hand.

The
use
of
electric
bicycles
or
e-bikes
has
grown
rapidly
over
the
past
several
years
and
they
expand
and
they
expand
mobility,
particularly
for
seniors
and
people
with
disabilities.
However,
massachusetts
is
one
of
four
remaining
states
lacking
adequate
e-bike
regulations,
joining
alaska,
new
mexico
and
rhode
island
with
a
rating
labeled
problematic.
M
The
proposed
bill
would
standardize
regulations
and
grant
e-bikes
the
legal
classification
necessary
for
implement
implementing
them
as
blue
bikes
in
boston.
Several
major
cities
have
introduced
e-bikes
for
for
their
bike
share
systems,
including
new
york,
san
francisco,
chicago
philadelphia
and
seattle.
M
The
bill
would
provide
legal
options
for
municipalities
with
jurisdiction
over
shared
use
paths
to
determine
if,
when
and
where
e-bikes
are
allowed.
I
urge
my
colleagues
to
join
me
in
supporting
this
bill
to
improve
mobility
access
for
all
and,
mr
president,
I
would
seek
to
suspend
the
rules
in
passage
of
an
adaptation
of
this
resolution
today.
After
my
co-sponsors
have
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
on
it.
Thank
you.
A
G
You,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
councillor
braden,
for
introducing
this
resolution.
E-Bikes
are
great,
encourage
folks
to
try
them.
We
need
to
find
make
sure
that
we
are
building
a
multimodal
city
and
make
sure
that
we
are
allowing
for
legal
classification
to
allow
them
so
that
we
can
continue
to
build
out
the
multimodal
city.
I
am
not
an
e-biker,
I
have
a
biker,
but
I'm
an
e-scooter,
and
even
that
lacks
classification
here
under
state
law.
So
there's
a
lot
that
we
can.
G
We
need
to
do
if
we
are
committed
to
building
a
city
that
is
open
not
just
to
cars
but
to
cars
and
bikes
and
e-bikes
and
scooters
that
we
can
be
multimodal
as
a
city.
So
this
is
just
the
beginning.
I
know
that
the
boston
cyclist
union
they're,
the
ones
first
introduced
me
to
e-bikes
and
the
issue
of
e-bikes
here
in
the
city,
so
credit
to
them
in
the
work
that
they're
doing.
G
E
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
thanks
again
to
co-sponsors
counselors,
brandon
and
luigen.
I
I
feel
like
e-bikes
are
just
such
an
exciting
thing
in
the
sense
that
you
know
when
we
talk
about
really
widening
access
to
bicycling
to
a
wider
set
of
people
anywhere
where
you
got
to
go
up
and
down
hills
like
you
know
the
fact
that
you
can
have
that
electronic
assistance.
It
really
gives
more
folks
access.
E
It
helps
more
people,
use
it
as
a
reliable
commuting
option
and
when
we
think
about
a
city
where,
frankly,
delivery
vehicles
are
currently
choking
our
streets,
the
possibility
of
having
like
e-bike
cargo
delivery
like
what
the
city's
already
looking
at
is
it's
exciting
and
it's
potentially
a
way
to
move
a
lot
of
people
in
goods
more
efficiently
in
a
way
that's
more
climate-friendly
friendly.
E
But
it's
really
important
that
the
city
take
its
like
health
and
safety
regulatory
capacities
on
board
on
this,
and
the
only
way
we
can
really
do
that
is
through
state
action.
That
enables
us
to
do
that,
because
the
reality
that
we
have
seen
in
a
bunch
of
jurisdictions
is
that
when
you
don't
do
that,
you
know
when
you
have
a
heavy
utilization
of,
for
instance,
like
electric
scooters
and
bicycles
go
up
in
an
area.
E
You
do
see
more
head
trauma
in
in
emergency
rooms
and
that's
because
there's
not
necessarily
a
safe
place
on
the
street
for
them.
It's
because
you
know
we
don't
have
some
of
the
same
norms
around
around
helmet
wearing
that
we
might
want,
and
now
things
are
going
even
faster
and
also
you
know.
I
always
think
at
the
top
of
the
vision.
Zero
pyramid
is
the
pedestrian
and
I
think
it
becomes
all
that
much
more
important,
that
we
have
our
bicycles
and
other
electric
vehicles
off
of
the
sidewalks
and
onto
their
own
street
space.
E
A
Thank
you,
council
balkan
from
the
chair
to
the
sponsor
council
braden.
Just
one
question
on
on
e-bikes:
is
there
a
helmet
requirement
or
a
or
a
speed
limit
requirement.
M
We're
we're
asking
that
this
this
issue
will
be
looked
at
at
the
state
level
and
they
will
determine
those
those
issues.
It's
really
just
to
put
it
into
the
conversation
and
and
establish
some
some
norms
around
e-bikes
because,
as
counselor
bach
said,
they're
not
even
recognized
as
a
form
of
vehicular
transportation.
Right
now,.
A
N
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
please
add
my
name.
I've
tried
and
tested
one
of
these
things.
You
may
have
seen
the
video
the
poor
bike
I'll
leave
it
at
that,
but
so
I
think
that
it's
time
has
come
and
hopefully
someday
I'll
own
five
of
them.
N
A
A
A
B
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
president,
I'd
like
to
suspend
the
rules
and
add
a
counselor
brian
varel
as
a
co-sponsor
as
well.
Please.
I
Thank
you.
The
post
copy
world
has
seen
windfall
profits
accrue
to
giant
corporations,
while
our
small
businesses
have
suffered
shuttered
doors,
skyrocketing
rents
and
devastating
dimension
of
sales.
Council
royal
councillor
warrell
and
myself
are
here
today
to
address
this
disturbing
economic
reality
and
to
begin
the
process
of
introducing
an
idea
to
the
city.
Why
digital
marketplace?
I
That
will
benefit
our
bipart
small
business
owners
and
this
to
include,
of
course,
business
owners
of
lower
income
as
well
and
seek
to
counteract
the
domination
of
international
corporates
and
in
the
realm
of
local
commerce
in
our
communities.
Such
a
digital
marketplace,
if
properly
implemented
and
sustained,
could
be
an
integral
tool
to
support
our
beloved
small
businesses
last
day
parish,
due
to
their
lack
of
online
presence,
always
problematic,
but
particularly
devastating
in
the
midst
of
a
pandemic.
I
L
L
We
know
that
establishing
an
online
presence
is
becoming
more
crucial
for
businesses,
as
consumers
have
changed
their
way
on
how
they
buy
goods,
whether
it's
for
a
house,
a
car,
a
book
even
groceries,
it's
all
happening
online.
This
is
another
creative
pilot
by
counselor,
my
co-sponsors
council,
the
royal
counseling
andersons,
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
discussion.
Thank
you.
A
F
You,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
councillor,
fernandez
anderson
for
this
and
my
co-sponsor
council
rarel.
We
know
I
used
to
know
this
number
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
I
think
it's
something
like
80
percent
plus
of
our
small
businesses
in
the
city
of
boston
are
immigrant
people
of
color
own
small
businesses.
F
Because
often
when
you
are
coming
to
a
new
country,
you
have
to
make
your
own
job,
and
so
they
are
a
large
driver
of
our
local
economies,
our
local
identities,
and
we
know
that
when
we
had
the
question
about
the
big
box
corporation
stores,
walmart
mayor
menino,
one
of
the
things
I
actually
very
much
enjoyed
about
him
was
his
his
not
allowing
walmart
to
ever
really
set
foot
in
boston
because
of
the
damage
it
would
do
to
small
businesses.
F
And
we
know
that
when
we
look
at
the
new
sort
of
metric
of
what
is
doing
damage
to
our
small
businesses,
it's
online
commerce.
It's
things
like
amazon,
sort
of
crowding
out
our
small
businesses.
If
there's
a
way
for
us
to
create
an
online
marketplace
that
takes
a
lot
of
the
heavy
lifting
off
of
our
small
businesses.
F
In
terms
of
the
creation
and
maintenance
of
a
website,
but
allows
them
to
compete
in
a
similar
way,
that
only
brings
dollars
back
to
our
local
communities
and
again
it's
these
small
businesses
that
are
sponsoring
our
little
leagues,
our
our
school
dance
recitals,
our
schools,
all
the
things
that
I
go
to,
I
always
go
to
my
small
businesses.
I
don't
go
to
the
target
in
my
district.
F
I
don't
go
to
those
areas
because,
generally
speaking,
the
money
for
our
neighborhoods
always
comes
from
the
folks
who
live
in
it
and
work
in
it,
and
so
I
look
forward
to
finding
any
way
we
can
to
strengthen
our
local
businesses
and
our
small
businesses,
and
I
think
this
will
be
a
nice
step
towards
exploring
whether
or
not
we
can
do
that
in
an
online
space.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
F
A
M
Thank
you
man,
mr
madam
president.
Mr
president,
sorry
about
that,
I
really
want
to
thank
the
the
co-sponsors
for
for
this
important
bringing
this
issue
forward.
M
One
we
last
year
we
had
a
hearing
about
the
issue
of
grubhub
and
other
platforms
that
were
interjecting
their
their
presence
into
our
small
businesses
and
acting
as
a
middle,
a
middleman
to
and
taking
a
huge
cut
on
a
fee
from
our
our
restaurants
and
again
last
week,
I
I
was
on
a
a
walk
in
our
main
streets
district
with
chief
sagon,
idaho,
and
one
of
the
issues
that
came
up
was
the
restaurants
talking
about
this.
M
This
this
experience
of
having
a
very
significant
fee
taken
taken
from
their
bottom
line
by
the
delivery
services.
So
I
think
that
having
having
this
conversation
about
the
digital
marketing
marketplace
for
our
small
businesses
in
the
city
is
a
very
timely
one,
and
thank
you
please
add
my
name.
A
K
You
know
I'm
always
going
to
rise
on
everything
and
anything
that
my
sister
over
there
puts
forth,
because
it's
this
type
of
innovation
that
we
need
more
of
here
in
the
city
of
boston
and
kind
of.
So
I'm
really
encouraged
by
your
leadership
in
this
space
and
thank
you
to
your
co-sponsors
for
joining
you.
K
I
know
I
always
keep
talking
about
kovit,
because
that's
the
only
reference
that
I
have
that
a
lot
of
our
small
businesses,
many
who
struggle
with
reading
and
writing
even
in
their
own
native
language,
really
struggle
to
have
access
to
information
and,
as
we
start
thinking
about
creating
this
digital
platform,
really
being
super
intentional
about
how
we
can
use
it
in
a
way.
K
So
I
think,
there's
some
work
that
we
need
to
do
on
the
council
in
terms
of
advocacy
to
ensure
that
we're
setting
up
the
administration
for
success,
and
I
also
think
there's
such
an
amazing
opportunity
to
include
some
of
these
business
owners
to
helping
design
what
it
could
look
like
in
terms
of
a
user
experience.
So
I'm
really
grateful
for
your
leadership
and
looking
forward
to
supporting
this,
and
I
am
encouraged
to
what
is
to
come.
If
you
continue
to
roll
these
out.
Thank
you.
I
Very
quickly,
thank
you
for
that
point.
I'm
really
excited
because
imagine
a
world
that
it's
not
grubhub,
it's
our
own
and
yes,
I
have
to
say
more
so
imagine
a
world
where
it's
like
you
have
this
digital
platform
and
you
combine
it
with
a
back
office
for
main
streets
and
I'm
so
excited
because
so
many
of
you
have
done
some
of
this
work
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
expand
and
also
have
partnered
with
chief
idol
and
the
administration
looking
at
the
possibilities.
I
A
A
H
You
I'd
like
to
suspend
the
rules
and
add
councillor
louisiana
and
also
my
colleague,
councillor
braden,
as
original
co-sponsors.
A
H
Thank
you,
so
I'm
calling
for
this
hearing,
because
our
public
school
students
deserve
a
full
range
of
athletic
opportunities
in
nearby
towns.
Like
concord,
the
public
school
department
spends
821
dollars
per
student
on
athletic
programs
for
their
kids.
The
state
average
is
161
dollars,
but
here
in
boston
we
only
spend
76
dollars
per
student.
H
That
is
less
than
one-third
of
one
percent
of
the
1.3
billion
dollar
school
budget,
and
it's
not
like
we're
not
spending
money.
In
fact,
at
close
to
twenty
four
thousand
dollars
per
student,
boston
spends
more
per
pupil
than
most
other
cities
and
towns
in
the
state,
twenty
four
thousand
dollars
per
student,
and
we
can't
find
a
few
hundred
dollars
for
our
children.
I
think
it's
not
right.
H
The
recent
closure
of
the
highly
successful
scholar
athletes
program
by
its
private
funders
adds
to
the
loss
of
meaningful
school
sports
for
most
of
our
public
school
students.
The
problem
like
so
many
problems
plaguing
our
public
school
system
is
not
funding.
We
have
the
money.
What
we
need
is
the
will
and
the
leadership
to
follow
through
teachers,
coaches
and
volunteer
parents
work
so
hard
for
our
kids.
This
has
to
stop
and
I
will
fight
for
our
students
here
at
the
co
on
the
council.
H
It's
the
right
thing
to
do,
because
we
know
that
sports
are
good
for
everyone.
Sports
provide
our
children
with
way
more
than
just
the
opportunity
to
exercise
their
bodies.
The
physical
benefits
are
just
the
beginning.
There
are
social
health
and
physiological
benefits
that
allow
our
kids
to
do
better
in
life.
H
Kids,
who
participate
on
school
teams
are
far
more
likely
to
have
improved
grades,
better
school
attendance
report,
healthier
social
behavior,
and
to
reach
higher
academic
and
professional
success
after
high
school
as
a
mother
of
student
athletes
go
dragons
who
benefited
in
so
many
ways
from
their
time
on
school
teams
and
as
a
public
school
teacher.
Who
knows
that
educating
the
whole
child
has
to
include
physical
and
social
wellness
to
be
successful,
I
will
fight
for
school
sports
for
our
kids.
H
Boston,
public
school
kids
need
this
outlet
for
their
social
and
mental
health.
Now
more
than
ever,
and
I
believe
we
should
be
doing
everything
possible
to
get
our
boston
public
school
sports
back
on
track.
Our
own
kids
have
the
will
the
talent
and
the
right
to
all
the
wonderful
lifelong
benefits
that
sports
offer.
I
hope
today
my
colleagues
will
join
us
on
this
and
join
the
fight
to
be
there
for
our
boston,
public
school
students
every
step
of
the
way.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
council
murphy.
Would
anyone
else
like
to
speak
on
this
matter?
The
chair
recognizes
council
illusion
council
region,
you
have
the
floor.
Thank.
G
You,
mr
president,
president
and
thank
you
to
council
murphy
for
introducing
this
hearing
order.
You
know
the
current
focus
of
bps
and
I
think
we
should
be
doing
is
adding
a
lot
more
school
counselors
family
liaison
social
workers,
and
we
are
headed
in
that
direction.
We
need
to
continue
to
push
in
the
direction
for
a
lot
of
us
who
go
and
visit
schools.
You
know
madison
park
you
go
and
you
hear
students
complain
about
the
lack
of
sport
options,
a
lack
of
teams
at
what
they
once
had
that
have
been
taken
away.
G
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
addressing
the
whole
child,
which
means
their
emotional,
social
and
physical
intellect.
We
also
know
that
making
sure
that
our
students
have
access
to
sports
helps
to
deal
with
the
issue,
issues
of
absenteeism,
that's
both
for
just
sports
and
for
arts.
The
more
that
we
allow
our
students
to
exercise
different
parts
of
their
lives
in
the
school
building,
the
better
it
is
and
we're
talking
about
all
these
capital
improvements
that
we
need
to
make
to
our
schools.
Almost
25
of
our
schools.
G
Don't
have
gym
facilities
right
and
we're
in
a
city
with
world-class
sports
teams
that
disparity
of
being
in
a
city
that
with
those
teams
but
yet
having
schools
that
don't
have
any
teams
at
all
and
that
don't
have
the
physical
structure
to
support
that
is
unacceptable.
G
And
so
I'm
in
support
of
this
hearing
order,
so
that
we
can
see
what
we
can
do
to
support
more
at
more
sports
in
our
schools
and
to
make
sure
that
we
are
supporting
our
students
as
a
whole.
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
council,
murphy,.
A
J
Thank
you,
president
flynn,
and
I
want
to
extend
my
gratitude
to
the
sponsors
of
this
hearing
order.
Okay,
sorry
you're
talking
to
me.
I
first
want
to
add
my
name
to
it.
Please,
if
I
can
as
a
student
athlete
myself,
both
through
bps
and
in
college,
I
understand
the
importance
of
investing
in
our
student
athletes
and
investing
in
bps
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
students
have
access
to
sports.
J
I
wanted
to
rise
to
talk
particularly
about
the
problem
of
our
fields
and
our
athletic
fields
in
the
city.
As
the
chair
of
the
environmental
justice,
resiliency
and
parks
committee,
our
office
has
been
working
with
a
lot
of
the
youth
sports
organizations
in
the
city
to
have
a
conversation
around
how
we
can
increase
access
to
our
athletic
fields,
and
so
I
think
that
this
is
a
perfect
place
for
collaboration
and
a
perfect
place
to
extend
conversations.
I
think
that
bps
provides
a
lot
of
the
athletics
for
our
young
people,
but
we
have
pop
warner.
J
We
have
jpu
soccer
and
all
of
the
other
teams
that
ultimately
provide
respite
for
our
young
people
during
the
summer
and
after
school
hours.
So
we
have
to
have
a
conversation
around
the
financial
investment,
but
we
also
have
to
think
about
the
structural
investment.
How
are
we
making
sure
that
we
have
athletic
fields
and
parks
available
in
all
of
our
neighborhoods
to
all
of
our
students
and
to
all
of
the
places
in
the
city
of
boston
who
are
providing
enrichment
to
our
students
and
our
young
people?
A
M
Mr
president,
I
was
in
late
addition
and
I
want
to
thank
councillor
murphy
for
adding
me
as
a
co-sponsor
I
I'll
speak
to
this
issue.
I
really
do
feel
that
school
sports
are
a
vital
component
of
a
healthy
development
of
young
young
people
and
I'll
speak
to
my
own
experience.
When
I
was
14
years
old,
my
father
passed
away
very
suddenly
and
it
was
my
participation
in
school
sports.
M
That
really
was
a
lifeline
for
me
as
a
young
person
facing
a
sudden
and
and
sudden
loss
in
my
life
and
for
my
family
and
the
school's
sports
teams.
My
my
fellow
teammates,
my
coaches
and
my
teachers
involved
in
the
sports
realm
were
instrumental
in
helping
me
weather
that
time
in
my
life,
and
I
really
do
understand
how
vitally
important
it
is
for
young
people
to
have
access
to
sports
in
school.
M
Many
of
them
don't
have
other
opportunities
to
join
clubs
and
and
the
y
or
whatever
so
school
sports
is
a
critical
lifeline.
I
also
thinking
about
my
earlier
conversation
about
pilot
and
and
our
relationship
with
our
institutions
or
educational
institutions
in
the
city.
I
really
feel
that
we,
this
this
hearing
of
order,
also
offers
an
opportunity
to
perhaps
explore
potential
opportunities
for
our
local
schools
to
partner
with
our
local
colleges
to
access
some
of
their
incredible
world-class
sports
facilities
in
the
off
season.
M
When
there's
no
students
in
town,
we
have
a
lot
of
resources
in
the
city
of
boston.
My
colleague,
councilor
flackerty
speaks
about
this
all
the
time
we
we
have
so
many
world-class
institutions,
incredible
educational
opportunities
for
higher
and
further
education,
but
we
really
need
to
pay
attention
to
our
our
public
school
population
in
the
city,
and
I
also
want
to
give
a
big
shout
out
to
boston.
High
school
teams
go
bengals.
M
A
N
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Please
have
my
name.
Commend
the
lead
sponsor
and
the
co-sponsors,
as
mentioned
sports
in
general,
keeps
kids
in
school,
keeps
them
away
from
drugs
and
alcohol
and
gangs.
It
fosters
competition,
sportsmanship
school
pride
friendships,
not
to
mention
the
potential
for
college
scholarships
and,
if
folks,
are
really
that
good
potential
drafts
and
maybe
even
an
opportunity
to
have
a
professional
career.
The
state
of
school
sports
with
respect
to
the
bps
is
in
complete
disarray.
N
The
fact
that
we
had
teams
that
were
not
able
to
compete
in
the
miaa
because
of
whether
it
was
a
clerical
or
an
administrative
issue.
Whatever
the
issue
was
not
only
was
it
a
statewide
embarrassment,
probably
a
national
embarrassment,
those
kids
missed
out
on
an
opportunity.
The
buck
stops
at
the
top
with
the
athletic
director.
I
challenge
my
colleagues
to
try
to
get
in
touch
with
the
athletic
director.
Good
luck.
N
I
think
the
lights
are
on
no
one's
home,
so
more
than
appropriate
to
have
a
hearing
on
the
status
of
the
boston,
public
schools,
school
sports
school
sports
is
a
game
changer
for
kids
for
a
whole
multitude
of
reasons,
and
why
we
are
not
more
competitive,
why
we
are
not
providing
more
opportunities
for
kids
in
the
schools
as
it
pertains
to
their
athleticism
and
the
connection.
N
There's
a
whole
program.
Former
state
representative,
kevin
fitzgerald,
created
sports
and
society
over
at
northeastern
they've
done
great
work
over
there
and
the
link
between
folks
that
are
playing
sports
and
again
that
could
be
on
the
ice
that
could
be
on
the
field.
It
could
be
at
the
gym.
There
could
be
anywhere
you
want
in
in
the
pool
school
sports
in
general
can
change
the
trajectory
of
someone's
life
on
a
number
of
fronts,
and
so
time
has
come
to
address
this
issue.
N
So
I
look
forward
to
that
hopefully
be
an
expedited
hearing
because
as
we're
heading
into
the
budget
season,
so
folks
need
to
answer
some
questions
regarding
the
state
of
affairs
with
respect
to
school
sports
in
boston,
public
schools.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
A
K
Thank
you
and
thank
you
to
the
makers
for
this
very
important
conversation.
You
know.
K
Am
I
gonna
hijack
it,
but
I
will
just
say
you
know
there
are
a
lot
of
young
people
who
are
working
two
to
three
jobs
that
can't
participate
in
athletics,
and
I
just
want
to
name
that,
as
we
start
thinking
about
this
conversation
is
that
we
really
need
to
look
at
some
of
the
things
that
prevent
young
people
from
participating
in
sports,
and
so
that
should
be
a
part
of
the
conversation
in
terms
of
how
we're
going
to
remove
barriers
so
that
young
people
can
actually
participate
because
otherwise
you
know
it's
just
another
conversation
about
another
conversation,
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
really
remove
barriers,
so
everybody
could
participate
and
then
the
other
piece
that
I'd
like
to
just
uplift
is
that
I've
gotten.
K
So
many
phone
calls
from
folks
who
are
looking
for
access
to
gyms,
who
are
doing
not
school
sports
but
like
are
trying
to
supplement
and
create
space
for
for
folks
to
be
able
to,
for
young
people
in
particular
to
to
continue
to
participate
in
sports.
And
so
I
think
there
is
an
opportunity
for
the
city
to
recognize
the
role
that
they
play
in
opening
up,
some
of
the
centers
and
working
more
collaboratively
with
other
folks
non-profits.
K
There
are
places
and
spaces
that
I
think
we
need
to
include
in
this
conversation
so
that
it
goes
beyond
the
school
sports,
but
that
we're
looking
at
360
and
that
everybody
is
here
to
participate
and
create
space
for
that
sort
of
well-rounded
opportunity
for
all
kids.
So
thank
you
and
please
act.
My
name
please.
I
Thank
you,
mr
president.
Counselor
murphy.
I
think
this
is
a
phenomenal
idea.
It's
fantastic
everything
that
you've
been
talking
about
and
doing
around
mental
health
and
education.
I
Amazing
ideas,
you
sit
there
and
all
of
this
brilliance
comes
out
and
I'm
I
can't
wait
to
collaborate
or
talk
to
you
more
about
it,
and
we've
been
talking
to
berkeley
and
a
few
other
schools
about
bringing
in
music
and
facilities
as
well,
and
it's
like
my
colleague
mejia
saying
we
get
calls
about
opening
up
gyms
and
facilities
and
possibly
you
know
doing
like
how
do
how
do
muslim
young
girls
swim
separate
from
or
whatever
so
access?
And
talking
about
that,
I
just
want
to
say
like
as
so.
I
For
me
sports
saved
my
life.
I
grew
up
in
the
projects.
Everybody
knows
the
story
right.
I
came
immigrant
poor.
I
had
to
work
two
jobs.
I
was
in
throughout
middle
school
in
high
school.
I
fun
fact:
I
actually
practiced
martial
arts
for
10
years
so
doing
that
martial
arts
being
in
sports
and
for
all
those
years.
I
Yes,
I
can
kick,
but
no
I'm
kidding
so
doing
that
all
those
years
and
it
really
did
save
my
life
like
I
had
a
subunim,
a
trainer
that
would
really
literally
like
whoop
my
behind,
if
I
did,
if
I
didn't,
keep
up
to
school
and
then
when
I
grew
as
I
became
a
young
parent,
I
put
my
kids
in
mecco
right,
so
my
oldest
was
an
athlete
and
they
went
to
weston
the
best
school
in
massachusetts
like
when
I
say
the
best,
you
walk
through
literally
it's
an
emotional
experience
to
see
all
of
the
facilities
that
they
have
everything
how
I
get
involved
as
a
parent
there
in
western
and
then
to
have
clients
in
bps
and
see
the
difference,
a
stark
difference.
A
Thank
you,
council
fernandez
anderson.
I
would
also
like
to
thank
councillor
murphy
in
the
for
her
work
on
this
important
issue.
Sports
and
school
is,
is
critical
during
the
pandemic,
our
students
suffered,
didn't,
have
access
the
right
access
to
sports
and
it
really
hurt
their
development.
I
think
it
hurt
their
development,
especially
academically,
certainly
certainly
physically
and
mentally
as
well,
but
when
we
hear
that
there's
25
percent
of
students
that
don't
have
access
to
an
athletic
gym
at
a
school,
that's
that's
outrageous.
A
We
had
a
conversation.
I
know.
Council
braden
mentioned
that
we
had
a
conversation
on
pilot
a
few
minutes
ago,
but
we
also
have
to
get
our
colleges
and
universities
more
involved.
I'd
be
embarrassed
if
I
was
a
college
college
president
right
now
hearing
this
hearing
this
topic
of
of
being
discussed
here.
Knowing
that
boston,
public
schools,
students
don't
have
access
to
a
gym.
I
if
I
were
a
college
president
I'd
call
the
mayor
up
in
five
minutes
and
and
say
what
can?
What
can
we
do
to
be
helpful?
How
do
we
get
involved?
A
How
do
we
donate
more
money?
So,
as
a
as
a
parent
of
a
a
son,
that's
in
the
bps
and
plays
plays
sports
sports
is
critical.
So
just
want
to
thank
my
colleagues,
especially
counselor
murphy,
for
leading
on
this
important
issue
and
just
following
up
on
a
comment
of
counsel
clarity.
It's
it's!
It's!
H
Thank
you
everyone.
I
do
just
want
to
thank
you
for
bringing
that
to
our
attention,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
when
we
are
in
these
working
sessions,
the
conversation
needs
to
include
what
athletics
are
being
offered
during
the
school
day,
also,
if
it's
before
school
or
during
the
day,
and
also
not
limiting
to
traditional
sports,
that
we're
making
sure
we're,
including
color
guard
dance,
share,
martial
arts
that
we're
not
just
thinking
boys,
playing
hockey
or
like
crew.
H
All
of
these,
so
thank
you
and
also
the
open
spaces
will
definitely
be
a
concern
because
if
you
visit
schools
and
you
walk
through
the
door,
they
look
very
different.
Some
don't
have
gyms
at
all
and
making
sure
that
how
do
we
get
to
use
those
spaces
if
it's
the
park
next
door
or
if
it's
getting
into
the
gym?
I
know
there's
issues
around
union
and
custodians
opening
the
doors
and
we've
had
many
of
those
conversations
during
covid
with
hoping
that
bcyf
could
get
back
into
spaces
and
knowing
the
importance
of
our
kids
playing
athletics.
A

you,

B
B
Be
it
ordered
that
a
petition
to
the
general
court,
accompanied
by
a
bill
for
a
special
law
relating
to
the
city
of
boston,
to
be
filed
with
an
attested
copy
of
this
order
being
be
and
hereby
is
approved
under
clause
1
of
section
8
of
article
2,
as
amended
of
the
articles
of
amendment
to
the
constitution
of
the
commonwealth
of
massachusetts,
and
to
the
end
that
legislation
be
adopted,
precise
precisely,
except
for
clerical
or
editorial
changes
of
form.
Only.
O
Thank
you
very
much.
I
rise
in
support
of
an
essential
worker
of
a
public
servant
of
someone
who
was
simply
doing
her
job
in
east
boston
and
when
doing
her
job
due
to
the
mentality
or
mental
illness
of
the
person
she
was
trying
to
help.
She
was
stabbed
multiple
times
as
a
result
of
those
injuries.
She
and
we
will
find,
is
unable
to
do
the
work
anymore
as
an
ems
worker.
O
This
is
part
of
normal
process
that
we
have
in
the
city
council,
where
those
who
have
sustained
injuries,
police
officers,
firefighters,
ems
workers
on
the
job
they
are
then
retired,
disabled.
She
is
now
retired
disabled,
but
in
order
for
her
to,
I
believe
fully
be
compensated
for
all
of
the
work
that
she's
done.
She
can
file
this
homo
petition,
which
allows
her
to
go
from
80
compensation
to
100
compensation.
O
That's
what
this
is
seeking.
We
need
a
special
law
in
order
to
do
that,
we
will
have
a
hearing
where
her
medical
records
will
be
reviewed
by
you,
and
will
she
will
demonstrate
to
this
body
that
she
is
permanently
incapacitated
and
unable
to
do
this
law
now?
This
has
been
somewhat
controversial
because
people
wondered
well.
O
You
know
this
seems
unfair,
what's
what's
really
an
injury
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
and
we
had
copious
amounts
of
conversations
and
we've
come
down
to
kind
of
grouping
and
looking
at
these
issues,
one
is
making
sure
that
the
person
isn't
permanently
tired
and
getting
a
hundred
percent
disability
and
then
able
to
go,
do
the
same
job,
someplace
else
so,
for
example,
police
officers.
O
If
you're
not
gonna,
do
law
enforcement,
you
cannot
do
law
enforcement,
you
shouldn't
be
able
to
get
100
retirement
and
then
go
to
georgia
or
go
to
virginia
and
then
become
a
police
officer
there.
This
follows
that
as
well.
She
is
not
going
to
be
working
in
ems
services
for
anybody
anywhere
going
forward.
The
other
thing
we
wanted
to
fix
was
the
fact
that
there
is
a
certain
level
of
income
capped
that
you
can
make
in
the
state
law.
O
So
if
somebody
happened
to
go
back
and
get
a
job
or
go
back
to
school
and
made
some
kind
of
extra
money,
not
in
the
field
that
they're
retired
from
the
max
that
they
could
ever
make
is
fifteen
thousand
dollars.
So
we
as
a
body,
have
started
to
implement
a
higher
cap
of
one
hundred
thousand
dollars,
allowing
them
to
do
to
get
a
second
job
or
to
work.
Someplace
else
still
collect
their
disability
and
make
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Essentially,
I
wanted
you
to
know
that
this
is
following
exactly
what
we've
done
before.
O
It
also
requires
her
to
check
in
on
her
disability
as
well.
She
is
not
exempt
from
that
and
being
able
to
confirm
that
she's
still
permanently
disabled
and
unable
to
work.
So
this
is
following,
along
with
what
we
have
passed
in
this
body
before
the
vetting
will
be
the
same
it
has
as
it
has
been
before.
I
will,
however,
check
with
her
about
and
her
union
as
to
whether
she
will
testify
you
must
understand
this
is
a
ptsd.
O
This
is
triggering
for
her
to
talk
about
what
she
has
gone
through
and
if
she
cannot
talk
about
it,
I
am
asking
that
this
body
be
willing
to
accept
her
medical
records
and
the
testimony
of
the
union
specifically
about
what
she's
gone
through.
There's
no
point
in
having
someone
go
through
this
suffering
again.
O
So
so
again,
I've
offered
this
homeworld
petition
with
counselor
flynn,
another
great
supporter
of
our
ems
and
public
safety
workers
in
in
this
body,
with
the
hopes
that
we
will
be
able
to
present
this
pass
this
and
then
get
it
over
to
the
state
house
so
that,
hopefully,
our
sponsors
on
that
side
will
be
able
to
make
sure
that
she
is
retired
with
a
hundred
percent
disability.
Also
worth
noting
she
is
the
prime
married
breadwinner
in
her
family.
O
A
You,
council,
royale.
I
think
council
of
edwards
said
it
perfectly
about
the
issue
before
us.
A
Miss
mcallister
really
is
a
hero
in
our
city,
putting
her
life
on
the
line
for
us
at
a
very
difficult
time
here
in
here
in
the
city.
So
you
know
we're
not
she's,
not
asking
for
any
any
type
of
special
favor
from
us
she's
just
asking
us
to
treat
her
fairly
failing
to
treat
her
with
respect
so
the
ems
community.
A
They
play
a
critical
role
in
our
city.
These
ems
technicians
and
professionals
do
an
outstanding
job,
very
difficult
job
and
unsung
heroes
really
in
our
city.
So
you
know
I.
I
obviously
support
this
along
with
council
edwards
and
look
look
forward
to
the
to
the
hearing.
The
hearing
as
well.
Thank
you,
council
edwards,
for
the
important
work
that
you've
done
on
this
issue.
F
Thank
you,
councillor
flynn.
Would
anyone
else
like
to
speak
on
this
matter,
seeing
no
discussion
with
anyone
else
like
to
add
their
name?
F
Please,
mr
clark,
please
add
counselor
baker,
please
add
counselor
bach,
please
add
counselor
braden,
please
add
counselor
fernandez,

please
add

please
add
counselor

B
Late
file
resolution
recognizing
women
veterans
during
women's
history
month
offered
by
council
as
ed
flynn
and
lydia
edwards,
whereas
women
currently
comprise
nearly
20
percent
of
serving
military
personnel
and
10
percent
of
the
veteran
population.
However,
many
women
veterans
do
not
receive
proper
recognition
for
their
services
and
face
a
host
of
issues
when
they
re-enter
civilian
life.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
ordered
that
the
boston
city
council
affirms
its
support
for
women
veterans
and
honors
their
service
bravery
and
sacrifice
they
have
made
towards
the
city
of
boston
in
our
country.
F
A
I
always
like
to
partner
with
council
edwards,
because
her
mother
is
a
veteran
and
she
knows
much
better
than
anyone
on
the
the
critical
role
women
play
in
our
military,
but,
more
importantly,
that
the
challenges
women
veterans
have
when
they
return
from
active
duty.
I
know
council
edwards
can
describe.
I
can
describe
that
yesterday
the
opportunity
to
attend
a
women's
veterans,
roundtable
discussion
with
councillor
murphy
and
mayo
wu
on
this
issue,
but
I
know
when
I
go
to
the
va
in
jamaica,
plain
in
west
roxbury.
A
A
We
have
to
make
sure
women
veterans
also
have
received
these
services
and
programs
that
they
that
they
have
earned
as
well.
So
I'm
going
to
stop
there
and
give
my
colleagues
an
opportunity
to
discuss
this
important
issue,
and
I
hope
my
colleagues
will
support
this
resolution.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Thank.
O
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
an
air
force
brat.
I
was
born
on
st
patrick's
air
force
base
december
13th
1980.
They
delivered
myself
my
sister
and
everybody
else,
born
in
december
in
large
stockings
to
our
families,
and
my
mother
is
the
veteran
and
oftentimes
that's.
I
have
to
correct
people
when
I
say
I'm
a
military
brat,
because
they
want
to
talk
about
the
father.
My
father
did
in
terms
of
this
country
so
23
years
she
served
this
country
she
joined
during
vietnam
and
she
left
during
iraq.
O
O
It
is
extremely
high
and
you
cannot
imagine
the
sense
of
violation
that
you
feel
when
you
are
serving
your
country
and
you're
willing
to
die
for
the
nation
and
that
the
colleague
that
is
next
to
you
has
either
raped.
You
traumatized
you
in
such
a
way
and
treated
you
as
a
less
than
human
being
and
somehow
somewhere
you're
supposed
to
continue
to
work
with
them.
O
O
I
want
to
bring
that
up
because
in
so
many
cases,
so
much
of
our
society
hasn't
adjusted
for
them.
They
were
still
trying
to
come
up
with
babysitting
for
myself
and
my
sister
on
the
military
bases,
because
my
mother
was
a
single
mom.
They
were
trying
to
come
up
with
different
ways
to
always
adjust
for
the
fact
that
mothers
are
serving
in
the
military.
H
Thank
you,
and
as
the
chair
of
veterans
and
military
families,
I'm
proud
to
join
council
of
flame
and
council
edwards
on
this.
Supporting
our
veterans
is
vitally
important,
but
our
women
veterans
we
know,
have
different
needs
so
to
make
sure
that
we're
supporting
and
advocating
our
women
veterans
is
very
important.
So
thank
you
for
letting
me
join
you
in
this
and
I
look
forward
to
the
work
ahead.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
Seeing
no
discussion
would
anyone
else
like
to
add
their
name?
Mr
clerk?
Please
add
counselor
baker,
please
add
counselor
bach,
please
add
counselor
braden,
please
add
counselor
fernandez,
anderson,
please
add
counselor
flaherty,
please
add
counselor
lara,
please
add
counselor
louis
jen,
please
add
counselor
mejia,
please
add
council
warrell
and
please
add
my
name.
F
A
B
A
O
You
very
much
I'll
be
brief.
We
all
stood,
or
predominantly
all
of
us
stood
just
right
before
this
meeting
in
support
of
these
workers
and
heard
directly
from
the
workers
from
32bj
and
those
who
are
desperate
to
make
sure
that
they're
part
of
a
union
about
why
it's
so
important
that
this
body
speak
in
solidarity
for
their
dignity
for
their
respect
and
make
sure
that
no
one
thinks
ever
that
they
are
unseen
by
us
or
under
appreciated
by
this
body.
O
So,
having
said
a
lot
of
things
already
and
the
fact
that
I
know
that
many
of
my
colleagues
were
there
in
solidarity,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
just
ask
that
we
move
to
suspend
the
rules
and
vote
for
this
formally
right
now.
In
order
for
this
resolution
to
pass-
and
I
hope
that
you
will
join
me
in
doing
so.
K
Yeah,
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
councillor
slash
senator
edwards
for
sponsoring
this
resolution,
and
by
now
you
have
already
you
know.
I
always
talk
about
the
fact
that
my
mom
is
73
years
old
and
still
to
poor
to
retire,
because
she's
never
been
able
to
join
a
union
and
we've
seen
the
power
of
a
good
union.
Job
can
make
these
days,
and
so
I
just
think,
I'm
sure
all
my
colleagues
are
going
to
join
us.
K
It
was
incredibly
an
honor
to
be
able
to
speak
to
the
crowd
of
32
bj
workers
earlier
today,
and
you
could
tell
by
speaking
with
them
that
they
were
passionate
and
determined
when
it
comes
when
it
came
to
standing
up
for
their
rights
for
working
class.
It
often
feels
like
we're
living
in
a
tale
of
two
cities
and
I'm
just
baffled
that.
How
could
it
be
that
airlines
across
the
country
reported
billions
of
dollars
in
profit
through
2021,
and
yet
our
airline
workers
are
still
expected
to
live
off
of
15
an
hour?
K
That
is
just
financial
abuse.
I
just
don't
understand
how
that
is
possible.
You
know
I
said
during
our
rally
earlier
and
I
want
to
say
it
here
again
that
I
want
to
challenge
anyone
who
are
passengers
and
folks
who
are
traveling
through
logan
airport
to
look
around
you.
The
floors
did
not
clean
themselves.
Your
baggage
did
not
get
on
the
flight
on
its
own
and
the
work
that
was
done
by
the
hard-working
people.
You
see
here
out
there
fighting
this
morning.
Those
are
the
ones
who
are
behind
that.
K
K
When
you
look
at
the
discrepancies-
and
you
look
at
the
fact
that
people
can't
even
afford
to
live
here
in
the
city
of
boston,
but
yet
they
have
to
work
two
to
three
jobs,
just
to
make
their
ends
meet.
That
conversation
needs
to
be
uplifted
and
as
a
council,
one
thing
is
to
show
our
solidarity
and
show
up,
and
the
other
piece
of
that
work
is
making
sure
that
we
continue
to
put
pressure
wherever
that
pressure
needs
to
be.
K
If
we're
going
to
move
this
work
forward,
because
I
guess
that
a
lot
of
folks
are
just
tired
of
having
the
same
conversation
and
expecting
different
results
and
we
need
to
hold
those
who
are
profiting
off
the
backs
of
the
hard
labor
of
our
people
to
recognize
the
role
that
they
play
and
the
responsibility
that
they
have
to
increase
these
wages
so
that
everyone
can
afford
to
stay
here
in
the
city
of
boston.
Thank
you.
A
E
E
So
for
folks
who
may
not
know
you
know,
32bj
and
others
have
fought
hard
to
get
this
floor
across
all
subcontractors
at
massport,
and
I
think
it's
really
important
to
stress
that,
like
in
today's
environment,
what
keeps
happening
is
that
our
unions
have
organized
hard
with
our
big
institutions
and
they
get
unionized
workforces,
and
then
those
institutions
just
outsource
the
work
to
other
folks
not
covered,
and
so
this
fight
for
a
floor
at
massport
that
says
whatever
the
subcontractor
is
you
really
got
to
be
paying
this
livable
wage?
E
That
was
a
huge
win
and
the
reality
is
that
that
wind
is
being
inflated
away
right
now.
That
ceiling
is
only
at
15
bucks
an
hour,
and
now
minimum
wage
in
the
state
has
risen
to
14.25
so
where
that
floor
used
to
be
two
bucks
or
more
above
the
minimum
wage.
Now
that
gap
has
decreased
and
it
hasn't
been
continuing
to
rise.
E
So
I
think
this
is
so
important
for
us
to
support
today,
because
I
think,
frankly,
this
battle
really
sort
of
should
have
already
been
won
back
when
massport
committed
to
that
higher
ceiling
many
years
ago,
and
and
just
they
haven't
been
keeping
up
with
it.
E
But
I
also
want
to
stress
that,
like
to
me,
it
seems
like
a
model
as
we
look
across
the
city
at
places
where
the
you
know,
the
reaction
to
the
union
sector
has
been,
it
has
been
to
push
more
and
more
jobs
into
the
non-union
sector,
to
really
talk
about,
like
sectoral
bargaining
and
places
where
we
can
say,
look
like
bostonians
need
to
make
of
the
kind
of
wage
that
can
sustain
a
family
in
this
town.
E
A
Please
I
didn't
you
want
your
name
added
to
me.
Anyone
else
like
to
speak
on
this
manner.
Anyone
else
like
to
add
their
name.
Please
add:
council,
royal
council
baker,
council
bar
council,
braden,
council,
fernandez,
anderson
council,
flaherty,
council,
lara
consoles,
jen,
councilman,
council,
murphy,
council,
mejia,
council
rel,
and
please
have
the
chair.
A
Councillor
edwards
and
council
mejia
seeks
suspension
of
the
rules
and
adoption
of
second
late
mata,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
all
opposed,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it.
The
resolution
is
adopted.
A
B
Fourth,
late
final
amount
offered
by
council
is
kendra
lara
and
lucy
louisiana
order
for
a
hearing
regarding
the
state
of
affordable
housing
in
boston's
inclusionary
development
policy.
B
In
smaller
developments,
representatives
from
the
boston
planning
and
development
agency,
mayor's
office
of
housing,
office
of
fair
housing
and
equity,
affordable
housing
organizations,
community
groups
and
other
interested
parties
are
invited
to
testify.
The
hearing
will
also
discuss
immediate
changes
to
the
idp
before
a
new
study
is
complete
ways
to
ensure
a
robust
study
and
substantial
community
input
and
the
impact
of
developments
currently
under
review.
J
J
You
so
much
president
flynn
for
me
as
councillor
mejia
mentioned
at
our
one
of
our
last
hearings.
The
personal
has
always
been
political
and,
during
my
campaign
run.
I
think
that
we
were
all
made
aware,
as
was
the
entire
city
through
a
very
detailed
boston
globe,
article
of
my
own
struggles
with
housing
and
security,
and
so
it's
a
great
honor
for
me
to
be
the
chair
of
the
housing
and
community
development
committee
here
on
the
city
council.
I'm
also
a
beneficiary
of
our
inclusionary
development
policy
here
in
the
city
of
boston.
J
This
strategy
would
include
codifying
the
relationship
between
landlord
and
tenants,
expansion
of
social
housing
and
public
housing
in
the
city
of
boston,
land,
reclamation,
zoning,
anti-speculation
legislation,
implementation
of
a
ffh
and
our
inclusionary
development
policy,
as
presented
here
today.
Like
I
mentioned
before
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
housing
crisis,
we
have
unaffordable
housing
costs
that
are
rising
housing,
instability
and
displacement,
particularly
that
has
been
exacerbated
by
the
kova
19
pandemic
and
eviction
rates
that
are
2.3
times
higher
in
black
and
brown
communities
than
in
predominantly
white
neighborhoods.
J
Here
in
the
city
of
boston,
the
area
median
income
that
we
use
right
now
in
the
city
of
boston
is
skewed
and
inflated.
If
you
know
it's
for
lack
of
a
better
word,
it
includes
114
surrounding
towns
and
cities,
not
just
the
city
of
boston,
a
lot
of
which
are
much
much
wealthier,
and
so
we
are
using
a
70
to
100
ami
to
talk
about
affordability
here
in
the
city,
when
the
ami
for
the
people
in
the
city
of
boston
is
actually
around
zero
to
60
percent.
J
We
have
a
significant
need
for
family
sized
housing.
63
percent
of
new
development
was
either
a
one-bedroom
or
a
studio,
even
though
we
have
a
growing
need
for
families
here
in
the
city
of
boston.
So
this
growing
shortage
of
affordable
housing
is
really
threatening
to
exclude
or
otherwise
severely
harm,
low
and
moderate
income
residents
in
the
city.
J
This
hearing
order
is
like
most
things
that
will
be
coming
out
of
our
office,
really
a
continuation
of
a
long
legacy
of
decades,
work
of
housing,
justice,
work
from
community
organizations
and
the
city
and
people
right
here
on
the
city
council,
namely
councillor
edwards
and
councillor
bach,
and
so
I'm
also
really
excited
to
maintain
and
continue
the
work
of
the
housing
committee
as
they
transition
into
well
councillor
edwards
transitions
into
her
role
as
senator,
and
I'm
sure
that
she'll
bring
this
work
to
the
senate.
J
But
to
that
end
I
want
to
also
thank
the
coalition
for
a
truly
affordable
boston
who
have
been
partners
to
our
office
in
filing
for
this
hearing
order,
and
I'm
excited
for
the
conversation.
Thank
you,
president.
G
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
to
council
lara
for
filing
this.
I'm
happy
to
be
a
co-sponsor
our
you
know
too
often
our
inclusionary
development
policy.
There
are
some
like
who
are
able
to
benefit,
but
overall
there
it's
people
who
sneak
through
like
council
lara.
There
are
so
many
other
families
that
are
in
need,
and
people
who
are
needed
are
of
in
need
of
some
form
of
affordable
housing
and
don't
get
it
too
often.
Our
idp
inclusionary
development
policy
is
functioning
as
an
intentional
displacement
policy
right.
G
The
idps
means
something
else,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
ensure
that
it
is
a
policy
that
is
really
about,
including
our
families
and
our
residents
in
the
city
of
boston,
into
these
new
developments
that
that
we
see
going
out.
I
know
a
lot
of
us
a
few
weeks
ago
got
an
email
from
a
resident
at
30.
I
think
early
30s,
black
woman.
G
It
broke
my
heart
because
she
was
born
and
raised
here
in
this
city
and
she's,
trying
to
do
everything
right
to
get
out
to
get
somewhere
to
live,
and
she
thinks
that
she
has
to
leave
the
city
of
boston
because
she
just
misses
the
income
requirements
for
an
idp
unit,
and
those
are
the
people
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
protecting.
So
here,
she's
here
she's
a
social
worker
trying
to
do
right
by
our
kids
and
can't
afford
to
live
in
this
city.
G
So
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
just
becoming
a
city
of
have
and
have
nots.
G
You
know
page
two
of
this
hearing
order
talks
about
how
we
have
to
do
an
analysis
of
idp
to
include
that
includes,
potentially
lowering
profit
levels
and
taking
a
look
at
what
that
looks
like
yesterday,
I
was
sitting
down
with
a
developer
and
I
was
saying
we
need
to
go
down.
We
need
to
look
at
the
numbers
to
see
what
are
the
numbers.
The
13
policy
that
we
have
right
now
is
a
displacement
policy.
G
13
is
not
enough,
and
so
but
oftentimes
you'll
have
developers
say
that
we
can't
build
if
it's
20,
we
can't
build
if
it's
25,
so
I
think
it
is
on
our
job.
It
is
our
job
to
look
at
those
numbers
and
really
take
a
look
at
what
it
means
when
they
say
they
can't
build.
Is
it
because
that
would
eat
into
their
profit
or
is
it
because
the
numbers
actually
don't
work,
so
I'm
excited
for
to
to
delve
into
that
more
deeply.
G
I
also
just
want
to
talk
about
something
that
was
mentioned
earlier
when
we
were
talking
about
picketing.
Is
that
our
role-
and
I
and
I
didn't
get
to
say
this-
our
role
is
is
not
just
to
say:
what's
legal
and
what's
legal
within
the
four
corners
of
a
piece
of
paper,
our
role
is
more
than
that,
because
a
lot
of
things
are
legal
and
unjust,
and
so
it
is
legal
to
profit,
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
off
of
our
property.
G
But
I
think
our
role
is
often
to
ask
what
is
just,
and
so
I'm
excited
to
have
this
to
continue
to
continue
this
conversation
on
housing
as
an
attorney
who
represented
families
facing
eviction
and
foreclosure.
As
our
eviction
moratorium
is
about
to
end
we're
about
to
see
more
displacement
in
our
city,
more
of
our
families
are
going
to
be
suffering,
so
we
have
to
do
everything
we
can
every
tool
in
that
toolkit
to
make
sure
we
are
doing
everything
to
protect
our
families.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
president,
thank
you
to
counselors
lara
and
lujan
for
allowing
me
to
join
and
and-
and
I
really
want
to
give
thanks
to
my
colleague,
councillor
edwards
as
well,
because
the
reality
is,
I
think,
we're
at
an
exciting
crossroads
in
terms
of
how
to
make
our
idp
policy
better
serve
the
residents
of
boston
and
in
significant
part.
That's
because
of
her
leadership
in
getting
a
home
rule
petition
passed
through
the
state
house
last
year
happened
in
the
wee
hours
of
january
6.
E
I
think
three,
and
it
means
that
we're
actually
going
to
be
able
to
codify
the
idp
policy,
not
just
as
a
mayoral
executive
order.
But
actually
it's
something.
That's
in
our
zoning
and
kind
of
has
that
that
formality.
That
linkage
has
long
had
since
the
80s,
and
I
think
that's
really
going
to
strengthen
the
policy
and
it's
going
to
help
us
move
towards
a
number
of
the
things
that
the
coalition
for
truly
affordable,
boston
and
other
advocates
have
pushed
for.
Namely
you
know.
How
do
we
lower
the
threshold?
E
E
And
I
think,
like
the
challenges,
obviously
are
that
each
of
those
things
is
costly
like
it,
you
know,
we
don't
always
focus
on
the
fact
that,
if
like
we
have
a
30
ami
unit,
the
the
way
that
all
pencils
out,
one
of
those
could
cost
sort
of
what
two
of
the
70
ones
do
in
terms
of
like
the
profit
number.
So
I
think
what
what
our
advocates
have
really
challenged.
All
of
us
to
do
is
push
towards
the
limits,
like
counselor
louis
jensen,
really
really
think
about.
E
And
the
city
says
now:
you
can
build
12
stories.
It's
like
we've
created
another
piece
of
land
that
you
can
build
six
stories
on
out
of
the
sky,
and
I
just
think
that,
as
we
think
about
adjusting
the
policy,
we
really
need
to
look
at
places
where
we're
creating
major
public
value
and
saying
we
need
more
of
this.
For
the
public
good
and
the
public
good
looks
like
housing,
our
our
lower
income
citizens.
So
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
digging
into
the
weeds.
E
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor's
team
and
the
mayor
for
the
major
steps
that
she
announced
back
in
december
on
this
front
and-
and
I
know
that
you
know
part
of
what
the
coalition
and
the
administration
is
weighing
right.
Now
is
what
do
we
do
in
the
interim,
and
what
can
we
codify
in
zoning
as
counselor
edwards
helped
make
possible
for
us?
So
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
that
conversation
and
I'm
thrilled
that
we've
got
so
many
housing
advocates
on
the
council.
So
thank
you,
mr
president.
C
You,
mr
baker,
you
have
the
floor.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
don't
necessarily
disagree
with
with
this
as
it
stands,
but
I
do
think
that
we
have
to
be
careful.
The
more
layers
of
government,
the
more
costs
coming
from
government
on
the
development
community.
I
think
we're
going
to
see
the
development
community
start
to
trickle
away
from
boston.
That
being
said,
we
still
haven't
spent
anything
on
building
any
units
at
all
we've
spent.
I
think
I
think
it
was
38
million
going
in
was
it
38
million
going
into
support
of
homeless
services.
C
One
number
I
got
for
the
roundhouse
was
over
five
million
dollars
where
we're
spending
on
giving
people
rooms
in
it
and
and
the
people
that
are
performing
that
are
coming
to
our
neighborhoods
our
communities
and
wreaking
havoc
in
them
and
we're
giving
them
we're
giving
them
housing
we're
not
helping
that
family
that
that
can
maybe
come
up
with
15
or
sixteen
hundred
we're
not
giving
them
five
hundred
or
a
thousand
bucks
to
be
able
to
get
that
unit
for
twenty
five
hundred
opera
money.
C
Where
is
it
all
going
still
haven't
built
a
single
unit
with
opera
money?
We
should
be
looking
at
direct
designation
for
the
developers
because
they
know
how
to
spend
their
money
efficiently
and
we
should
we
ought
to
allow
them
set
them
up,
set
them
up
with
ways
to
put
their
money
into
actual
developments.
We're
going
to
build
100
units
here
from
this
project
that
project
that
project
we're
not
having
any
of
those
discussions.
C
It's
all
layers
of
bureaucracy,
layers
of
of
rules
and
more
and
more
money
every
time
we
turn
around
so,
but
do
sign
my
name
on
to
this,
because
I
need
to
be
part
of
this
conversation,
because
I'm
probably
the
only
one
that
thinks
like
this.
But
thank
you,
mr
chair,
thank.
M
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
really
want
to
thank
the
lead
sponsors.
I
think
this
discussion
is
past.
Due
in
austin
brighton
we've
seen,
we've
been
working
really
hard
to
try
and
move
the
needle
on
this
issue,
and
you
know
we've
we've
seen
over
the
past
10
years,
thousands
ten!
Ten
thousand,
I
don't
know
what
the
number
is,
but
it's
thousands
of
new
units
of
housing
built
in
austin,
brighton
and,
frankly,
you
know
the
idp
units,
the
13,
that
the
developers
said
they
couldn't
possibly
do
any.
M
They
were
70
of
the
area,
median
income
so
and
there
were
studios
and
one
bedroom.
So
that
meant
that
you
can't
raise
a
family
in
a
studio.
The
studios
were
priced
at
2
400.
Those
were
the
affordable
units.
M
So
most
of
the
folks,
the
working
people
in
austin
brighton
couldn't
afford
the
so-called
income
restricted
housing
that
was
being
built.
So
really
welcome
this
opportunity
to
really
see
if
we
can
get
change
this
this
pattern.
M
M
We
percent
one
project
under
development
or
under
review
right
now
it's
going
to
be
80
affordable.
So
we
really
really
are
grateful
to
those
developers
who
are
provide
prepared
to
dig
in
and
find
other
mechanisms
to
help
them
build
more
affordable
housing,
but
across
the
city
we
have
so
much
more
to
do.
I
heard
this
morning
on
the
news
that
boston
is
going
to
knock
san
francisco
off
the
pole
position
for
the
most
lab
space.
M
We
have
60
million
30
million
square
feet
of
lab
space
in
the
city
right
now
and
there's
another
60
million
in
the
pipeline
or
on
on
the
horizon.
Do
we
really
want
to
be
san
francisco?
M
We
have
to
ensure
that
there's
a
balance
between
we
have
limited
amount
of
land.
We
have
to
ensure
that
there's
some
sort
of
a
balance
between
lab
development
and
residential
development.
One
thing
in
our
neighborhood
we're
asking
the
lab
developers
is
you
want
to
build
a
lab?
You
have
to
build
some
housing
because
at
the
same
time
as
we're
talking
about
that,
we
have
we're
building
right
now
we
have
6
000
parking
spaces
being
built
to
support
lab
development
in
our
neighborhood.
M
That
means
that,
where
those
people,
that's
the
assumption
that
those
workers
cannot
live
in
our
city,
so
we
have
to
change
that
equation,
not
only
from
the
livability
and
the
sustainability
of,
but
also
from
a
climate
perspective.
So
I
really
welcome
this.
This
is
a
a
very
complex
intersectionality
of
all
these
different
factors,
but
this
is
a
well
past
due
initiative
and
I
really
look
forward
to
being
part
of
the
conversation.
Thank
you.
A
K
Thank
you,
president
flynn,
and
thank
you
to
the
sponsors
for
bringing
this
in
2013
in
the
height
of
the
the
the
mural
race.
K
Had
someone
say
to
me
that
in
the
next
ten
years
the
city
was
going
to
look
very
different,
because
I
was
talking
about
the
importance
of
building
black
and
brown
leadership
and
and
more
folks
being
able
to
stay
here,
and
I
was
really
caught
off
guard
and
I
didn't
understand
why
this
individual
said
it
was
so
much
confidence
that
the
city
was
going
to
look
very
different
10
years
from
now
and
now.
K
I
know
why,
because
the
tools
that
we
have
in
our
toolbox
have
not
been
set
up
for
us
to
stay
in
the
city
of
boston,
and
I
think
that
now
10
years
later,
that
hypothesis
is
quite
clear
that
we
need
to
do
more,
as
it
relates
to
being
more
aggressive
around
dealing
this
with
this
conversation
around
displacement
and
to
who
said
that-
and
you
know
who
you
are,
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
own
it
and
do
something
different.
So
I'm
here
for
all
the
conversation
and
thank
my
colleagues
for
bringing
it
up.
J
Thank
you,
president
flynn.
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
a
couple
of
things
one.
I
want
to
share
my
agreement
with
councillor
baker
on
one
point
and
it's
that
we
need
to
use
all
of
our
resources
to
meet
the
housing
crisis,
right,
federal,
state
money,
that's
coming
to
us
and
that
we
need
to
do
a
better
job
at
that.
I
want
to
clarify
for
the
record,
because
there
was
a
mention
of
the
resources
that
we
were
investing
in
the
temporary
housing
plan,
particularly
for
people
who
live
on
mass
and
cass.
J
The
numbers
that
we
have
in
the
city
data
show
that
80
percent
of
the
people
who
we
are
housing
in
the
low
threshold
housing
actually
show
a
previous
permanent
address
of
being
in
the
city
of
boston.
It's
really
important
for
me
to
clarify
that,
because
that
is
a
really
incredibly
dangerous
narrative
that
positions
people
from
our
city
who
are
struggling
against
other
people
in
our
city
who
are
struggling
while
developers
come
into
our
city
and
make
off
with
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
of
profit
on
the
backs
of
the
residents
of
the
city
of
boston.
J
So
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
shared
that
information.
I
don't
think
that's
information.
That's
been
shared
on
the
council
floor
publicly,
but
I
think
that
it's
a
persistent
narrative
that
we
are
somehow
investing
money
into
people
who
are
not
from
our
city
and
the
numbers
and
the
data
that
we
have
for
the
people
that
we're
housing
in
low
threshold
housing
show
the
opposite.
J
I
am
not
a
believer
in
the
narrative
that,
even
if
these
people
were
not
from
here
that
we
shouldn't
support
them,
but
the
numbers
that
we
have
go
against
that
narrative
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
it
was
shared
on
the
floor
and
that
we're
careful
about
not
positioning
our
constituents
against
other
members
of
our
constituency
while
people
are
coming
to
our
city
and
reaping
the
benefits
of
our
policies.
Thank
you.
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
to
my
to
the
co-sponsors
or
the
sponsors
on
this.
I
felt
like
I
I
needed
to
say
something
because
I,
as
a
district,
7
city
councilor,
so
much
development
is
going
or
is
being
proposed
or
rfps
out
from
the
city
from
bpda,
proposing
to
the
community
to
see
what
they
want
in
to
take
place
in
district
7..
I
Mostly
roxbury
is
impacted
by
this,
and
when
we
get
into
the
meetings
I
agree.
I
wholeheartedly
support
this
and
hopefully
look
forward
to
the
conversations,
and
I
think
that
it's
perfect
time
to
say
that
a
lot
of
these
development,
a
lot
of
these
community
processes
or
developers,
are
going
to
come
to
you,
my
colleagues,
to
ask
you
for
your
support.
I
I
am.
I
want
to
go
on
record
that
I
will
wholeheartedly
object
or
not
support
any
further
development,
especially
in
roxbury,
encroaching
gentrifying
moving
people
out
in
roxbury.
That
is
a
detriment
to
our
community
and
I
think
that
what
they
do
is
they
go
to
different.
They
go
to
my
colleagues
to
try
to
seek
support
behind
my
back
or
in
front
of
my
in
front
of
me.
It
doesn't
matter-
and
I'm
saying
to
you
in
the
spirit
of
this
conversation
here-
we're
not
we're
not
having
it
and
roxbury
is
galvanizing.
D7,
roxbury
fenway.
I
I
have
every
single
leader
on
one
team
and
we're
all
saying
the
same
thing.
It's
not
going
to
happen.
So,
while
we're
doing
this,
because
this
is
going
to
take
time,
everything
else
is
moving
at
light
speed.
The
rfps
are
going
out
like
this
left
to
right.
These
meetings
are
happening
left
to
right.
People
are
not
being
heard.
Like
my
counselor
louisiana
lujan
was
saying.
I
I
How
is
she
eating
and
then
can't
qualify
for
food
stamps,
because
technically
she
has
income,
it's
so
bad
in
roxbury
and
roxbury
has
the
brunt
of
it,
and
I
can.
I
know
that
my
colleague
viral
can
speak
to
this,
because
his
district
is
the
poorest.
We
have
people
that
are
dying
and
suffering
and
calling
our
offices
and
all
on
this
housing
thing
and
telling
developers
and
telling
bpda
and
telling
brb
zba
this
ami
is
too
high.
The
calculation
is
ridiculous.
Idp
this
doesn't
this
doesn't
pertain
to
us.
I
We
don't
qualify,
we
can't
get
in
the
house,
it
is
not
roxbury's
responsibility
to
house
everybody,
that's
homeless.
We
want
to
help,
but
you
can't
play
on
our
feelings.
You
can't
pull
on
our
heartstrings
to
try
to
tell
us
how
what
you
don't
care
about
housing.
So
this
is
how
they
come
at
us.
You
care
about
housing
right.
So
what
do
you
want
to
see
in
this
land?
No
we're
not
doing
it,
and
I'm
telling
you.
I
don't.
I
came
here
and
my
call
is
here
here.
I
No,
I
ran
for
office
with
my
heart,
32
bj
is
why
I'm
here?
This
is
how
I
got
here
and
then
I
got
everybody
else
to
support
after
I
won
the
primaries.
So
I
owe
nothing
but
god
my
people
and
I'm
here
to
represent,
and
this
really
hurts
home,
because
my
rent
is
three
thousand
dollars
as
a
counselor.
I
can't
afford
to
be
here,
so
it's
very
personal
and
we're
gonna
start
getting
real
crazy.
We're
gonna
start
pushing
back
and
fighting
it's
time.
I
Y'all
do
not
please
I'm
asking
you
as
a
favor
do
not
support
these
developments
in
b7.
We're
gonna
push
really
hard
until
we
make
sure
that
it's
truly,
you
know
that
it
actually
helps
that
it
doesn't
hinder
us.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
council,
fernandez
anderson.
Would
anyone
like
to
add
their
name

this?
Please

N

And
in
the
in
the
spirit
of
women's
history
month,
and
also
with
respect
to
today's
resolution,
I'd
like
to
pull

it's

That's

the

and
it
is

it's
a
federal
grant
from
the
u.s
department
of
justice,
which
I
know
the
clerk
will
read.
Violence

A
B
Docking

and
expend
the
amount
of
twenty
eight

N
Thank
you,
mr
clerk,
and
this,
mr
president,
may
just
add
that
this
grant
it's
allocated
from
the
federal
funds
that
we're
not
spending.
Yes,
council.
N
A
If
you
can
give
us
give
me
one
minute,
mr
clerk,
can
you
please
call
the

to

if
they
would
allow

Thank

council
florida
fiery
of

N
Yes,
just
to
thank,
mr
president,
just
a
footnote,
the
28
thousand
dollar
grant
was
not
spent
from
the
previous
year,
so
those
funds
will
be
added
to
the
current
year
and
this
body
has
already
passed
125
000
to
go
to
this
very
same
program,
so
a
great
and
worthy
program
for
doing
great
work
over
the
family
justice
center,
and
I
would
like
to
get
these
resources
over
to
them
again
in
the
spirit
of
women's
history
month.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
A
A
I
have
been
informed
by
the
clerk
that
there
is
one
addition
to
the
consent
agenda.
The
chair
moves
for
adoption
of
the
consent
agenda
as
presented
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
all
those
opposed.
Thank
you.
The
consent
agenda
has
been
adopted
now
we're
on
to
announcements.
Does
any
of
my
colleagues
have
any
announcements
at
this
time?
The
chair
recognizes
councilman
here.
Council
me
here
you
have
the
flaw.
Yes,.
K
K
We're
joined
by
linda
spears,
who's
the
commissioner
of
the
massachusetts
department
of
children
and
families
and
lynn
hogan
who's,
a
deputy
commissioner
for
the
massachusetts
department
of
children
and
families.
We
recognize
their
amazing
work
through
a
couple
of
official
resolutions
that
we
passed
a
few
weeks
ago,
but
I
wanted
to
take
this
time
during
our
announcement
portion
today
to
talk
about
their
work
and
the
impact
it
has
had
on
our
community.
K
K
After
spending
four
years
there,
she
came
to
massachusetts
to
work
for
what
what
we
know.
What
was
then
called
department
of
social
services
now
dcf,
she
remained
for
nearly
a
decade,
serving
in
a
variety
of
roles,
the
last
of
which
was
the
director
of
field
support
in
2015.
She
was
appointed
as
the
commissioner
of
dcf
by
governor
baker.
K
K
Dcf
is
one
of
the
most
important
social
services
we
provide
as
a
commonwealth
and
that
work
cannot
go
without
the
leadership
of
the
people.
Like
commissioner
spears
and
deputy
commissioner
hogan,
it
can
often
be
thankless
to
work
under
these
conditions.
I
know
that
to
be
the
case,
so
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
you
both
for
your
hard
work
and
to
present
you
with
these
official
resolutions,
I'm
in
citations,
on
behalf
of
the
boston
city,
council
and
we'd
like
to
take
a
photo.
K
N
President,
just
briefly
on
behalf
of
myself
and
council
of
bark
and
all
the
members
of
the
council,
I'd
like
to
adjourn
in
memory
of
norman,
herr
norman,
obviously
before
mike
became
the
14th
city
council,
norman
herr,
held
that
title
as
a
old-time
west
ender,
and
I
found
out
recently
that
he
had
passed
and
I
was
waiting
for
the
action
we
took
today,
which
was
sunsetting
the
urban
renewals,
because
he
was
just
so
passionate
about
that
issue
and
he
would
come
into
this
chamber
every
single
wednesday,
never
missed
a
council
session.
N
When
I
served
here
and
he
would
sit
literally
right
behind
where
councillor
box
sits
and
he
was
a
student
of
politics,
he
was
very
knowledgeable.
He
used
to
host
the
west
end
tree
lightings
every
year
did
a
lot
of
private
fundraising,
helping
many
different
causes,
a
peach
of
a
guy.
He
had
died,
sort
of
during
covet
with
very
little.
If
any
fanfare,
I
don't
even
think
he
really
even
got
a
mention,
but
he
loved
the
boston
city,
council
loved
the
institution,
he
loved
city
hall,
city
government.
N
He
was
passionate
about
the
west
end
and
I
just
thought
it
was
fitting
that
we
adjourn
his
memory
today,
particularly
because
we
are
sunsetting
nine
urban
renewal
plans,
which
he
spent
a
significant
part
of
his
life
fighting
as
an
all-time
west
end-
and
I
believe
kenzie
may
know
this
or
not,
but
I
believe
he
may
have
been
one
of
the
last
remaining
houses
that
may
not
have
been
sort
of
touched
by
urban
renewal.
A
Well
said,
council,
flaherty
and
as
councillor
as
council,
mejia
mentioned
immediately
after
after
we
adjourn,
we
will
have
a
a
photo
with
the
state
state
leaders
that
are
with
us
a
group
photo
and
also
we're
going
to
have
a
quick
lunch
right
in
the
curly
room
as
well.
At
this
time,
let
me
recognize
council
fernandez,
anderson.
I
I'm
sorry
I'm
in
a
really
talkative
mood
today.
I
don't
know
what's
going
on.
I
just
wanted
to
this:
I'm
not
going
to
mention
the
name
for
this
announcement
in
respect
to
keeping
it
to
this
person's
privacy.
I
I
We
don't
know
what's
going
on
with
each
other
in
terms
of
our
health
in
terms
of,
and
this
person
shared
something
today,
that's
very
emotional
for
me,
because
my
sister
has
the
exact
same
condition
as
this
person
and
has
gone
through
and
has
also
suffered,
strokes
and
is
going
into
a
situational
procedure.
So
I
would
like
for
you
to
just
ask
that
we
all
keep
each
other
in
prayer
in
terms
of
our
health
and
wellness
and
spirit
and
be
grateful
to
each
other
to
forgive
one
another
when
we're
less
impatient
with
each
other.
A
Thank
you,
council
fernandez
anderson,
we're
on
two
memorials.
Today.
We
will
adjourn
our
meeting
in
memory
of
the
following
individuals:
councilor

fabrizio

A
The

the

it
does
so
in
memory
of
those
mentioned,
we
are
scheduled

up
