Four
one:
five
hearing
a
hearing
regarding
the
possible
closing
of
several
Boston
public
schools
and
Boston
centers
for
Youth
and
families
bcyf
community
centers
this
summer,
bcyf
centers,
are
often
a
Bedrock
of
support
for
many
low-income
and
diverse
families,
offering
many
different
types
of
classes
and
programs
for
our
youths
and
families.
B
These
programs
are
not
only
about
fun
and
social
socializing
socialization,
but
they're
also
critical
role,
Tools
in
keeping
our
children
active
and
engaged
over
the
summer
months
so
that
they
are
safe,
cared
for
and
eventually
prepared
and
eventually
prepared
for
school
in
the
fall
school
and
Community.
Centered
closures
have
a
meaningful
and
measurable
impact,
deterring
youth
violence
in
our
black
and
brown
communities
and
thus
must
be
equitably
prioritized
my
staff
will
be
attending
and
I
will
be,
and
I
will
also
thoroughly
review
the
video
hearing,
minutes
and
public
testimony.
B
B
B
Today's
hearing
is
on
docket
number
zero,
four
one:
five
order
for
a
hearing
for
the
possible
closing
of
several
Boston
public
schools
and
bcyf
community
centers.
This
summer
we
are
joined
this
morning
by
Administration
officials,
commissioner
Marta
Rivera
Boston
centers
for
Youth
and
families,
Brian
Ford,
director
of
BPS
facilities,
Carrie
Griffin,
director
of
public
facilities,
Department
Adam
Mullen,
public
facilities,
department
and
Morgan
McDaniel
Deputy
Chief
of
operations,
public
facilities
Department.
B
C
C
If
you
go
back
to
the
history
of
when
our
community
centers
that
are
attached
to
schools,
were
first
built
in
the
70s,
the
Murphy
being
one
of
them,
they
were
accessible
to
our
special
needs
population.
So
the
Murphy,
the
Marshall,
many
of
these
Community
Center,
slash,
Boston
Public,
School
Partnerships
are
in
buildings
that
are
accessible,
and
so
that's
why
many
of
the
bcyf's
community
centers
are
also
where
esy
programming
is.
C
That
being
said,
the
list
of
schools
that
we're
going
to
need
repair,
which
facility
repairs
a
much
needed
something
of
been
advocating
for
so
in
no
way
do
I
want
anyone
to
think
that
this
hearing
was
to
slow
down
or
stop
the
need
to
continue
to
improve
our
facility
buildings
across
the
city,
but
to
know
that
the
timing
of
this
and
the
communication
of
which
schools
would
be
closed
and
what
programming
would
be
impacted
is
why
we
call
this
hearing
community
centers
offer
so
much
more
than
just
a
space
for
our
youth.
C
This
morning,
I
attended
the
base
sixth
annual
morning
leadership,
women,
leadership,
breakfast
and
six
of
the
panelists
were
one
was
as
young
as
seventh
grade,
but
high
school
students
who
participate
in
the
base,
which
is
a
program
in
the
city
that
offers
not
just
Athletics
but
also
tutoring
and
other
supports.
C
And
talking
with
these,
you
know
real
powerhouse,
women
and
Leadership
roles,
and
they
were
really
holding
their
own
and
just
reminded
me
that
the
connection
to
that
program
is
what
our
BCF
centers
offered
to
many
of
our
kids
and
I
know
in
my
neighborhood
and
councilor
Baker.
It's
why
he
joined
me
in
this
hearing.
C
You
know
the
Leahy
hollering
Community
Center,
with
Jill
and
Lisa
and
Mary
the
programming
they
you
know
really
work
hard
to
offer
is
more
than
just
you
know,
a
babysitting
spot
for
our
kids
and
in
the
summer
where
we
need
to
make
sure
we're
wrapping
our
communities
around
with
programming
and
offering
them
supports
and
mentorship
all
year
is
so
important.
So
this
hearing
is
important.
C
D
You,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
everybody
for
coming
out
today.
I
think
I.
Think
we've
I'll
speak
for
myself
more
looking
for
information.
My
children
are
a
product
of
the
Murphy
School
product
of
the
Lahey
horn.
That's
in
sits
in
my
district.
So
of
course
that's
going
to
be
my
focus,
but
that
doesn't
diminish.
You
know
the
orangeburger
and
the
Condon
and
the
Quincy
all
those
places
I'm
more.
Looking
for
what
supports
are
going
to
be
available
to
the
the
Leahy
holler
in
this
summer.
D
What
about
the
the
kids
that
are
in
wheelchairs
and
we're
going
to
be
able
to
get
them
to
the
Perry,
but
again
I
also
know
and
value
the
work
that
that
Kerry's
team
will
be
doing
to
try
and
make
the
Murphy
School
safe
and
healthy
for
upcoming
school
years,
so
I'm
I'm?
Looking
for
how
are
we
working
together
on
this?
How
do
we
support
these
and
not
just
the
Murphy?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
that
those
summer
programs
are
supported?
D
D
Those
discussions
ended
up.
We
kind
of
landed
on
the
field
house
which
is
in
which
is
in
the
sits
across
the
street
from
the
Columbia
Point
Housing
Development.
Those
things
are
things
that
that
the
future
should
hold
for
for
our
children.
Then
we
wouldn't
have
to
worry
about
mixing
in
with
the
Murphy.
Since
I've
been
involved
in
the
Murphy.
It's
been,
we
can't
use
the
pool
Latins
there.
D
We
can't
use
the
gym
this
school
is
here
and
that's
all
good
stuff,
I'm
glad
we're
able
to
provide
those
things,
but
I
do
think
we
should
be
looking
at
the
larger
picture
of
of
how
we
move
forward.
In
that
logic,
picture
for
me,
I'm
going
to
say
at
every
possible
chance.
I
get.
Is
the
mountain
Richard
field
house
down
in
Columbia
Point?
How
do
we
get
together
and
how
do
we
support
that?
D
And
how
do
we
get
that
built
we're
not
having
this
discussion
because
kids
from
the
Condon
could
go
to
the
Martin
Richards
kids
from
the
Murphy
can
go
to
Lamont
emergency
kids
from
Fields
Corner
kids
from
all
around
could
go
there.
So
that's
my
plug
for
the
Martin
Richards
I'm
headed
to
try
and
help
help
be
part
of
the
the
the
the
the
solution.
D
Not
looking
to
hold
up
good
work
in
the
Murphy,
not
looking
to
hurt,
hurt
the
lady
or
bcyf
for
that
matter.
How,
however,
it
is
looking
to
be
a
straight-on
partner
yeah.
So
thank
you
guys
for
coming
out.
Thank
you
guys,
for
you
know,
making
yourself
available.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
B
Thank
you
concert
Baker
concert
council.
President
Flynn,
you
have
the
floor.
E
E
They
do
a
tremendous
job,
but
they
also
communicate
effectively
with
parents
in
in
different
languages.
So
I'm
very
fortunate
that
we
have
an
excellent
bcyf
team
at
the
Josiah
Quincy
School,
the
Condon
bcyf
Condon,
likely
to
move
to
the
wall.
Center
we've
talked
about
the
the
Quincy,
so
I
I,
just
I
just
have
some
questions.
E
B
Thank
you,
councilor
Flynn,
so,
okay,
it's
time
for
the
administration
panel
who's
up.
First.
F
Good
morning,
Madam,
chair
and
counselors
I
am
Morgan
McDaniel
Deputy
Chief
of
operations
here
on
behalf
of
Chief
Irish,
who
unfortunately,
was
unable
to
attend
this
morning.
We're
happy
to
have
an
opportunity
to
discuss
some
of
the
critical
Investments
That
mayor
Wu
is
making
in
BPS
facilities
as
well
as
Municipal
facilities
in
general
to
ensure
that
Boston
families
have
the
quality
programming
they
deserve
and
to
increase
the
Energy
Efficiency
of
our
buildings
to
advance
this
goal.
F
Some
Boston
public
school
buildings
that
host
bcyf
community
centers
will
receive
necessary
repairs
to
replace
aging
infrastructure
this
summer
and
next
summer.
The
work
we
will
be
discussing
today
includes
a
21.8
million
dollar
investment
in
the
envelope
and
roof
repairs
at
the
Josiah
Quincy
elementary
school,
as
well
as
9.9
million
at
the
Murphy
School
and
Leahy
Holleran,
Community
Center
and
2.3
million
at
the
time
in
both
energy
retrofits.
As
part
of
our
renew
Boston
trust
program,
renew
Boston
trust
is
a
city
program
that
invests
in
Energy
Efficiency
upgrades
for
municipal
buildings.
F
It
is
an
important
tool
for
the
city
to
lead
by
example,
and
reach
in
carbon
neutrality
and
becoming
a
green
New.
Deal
City
to
complete
these
projects
safely,
bcyf
will
have
to
temporarily
adjust
and
relocate
some
summer
programming.
We
appreciate
the
flexibility
of
our
families
and
communities
so
that
we
can
make
these
important
long-term
Investments
and
we
are
committed
to
continued
communication
with
them
through
this
process
so
that
they
know
when
they'll
be
able
to
access
programming
where
they
typically
access
it
and
know
about
any
unforeseen
changes
to
the
project.
G
Good
morning,
Carrie
welcome
thanks,
thank
you,
Morgan
and
thank
you
counselors
for
this
hearing,
so
I'll
just
I'm
going
to
let
my
colleague
Adam,
who
is
running
the
RBT
program
for
the
public
facilities.
Department
speak
a
little
bit
about
the
program
and
the
and
the
amount
of
planning
that
goes
into
this.
We
started
this
process
for
this
trench
of
work
for
the
renew
Boston
trust
back
in
July
of
last
year.
We,
you
know,
made
a
presentation
to
our
partners
at
OBM
with
our
partners
at
this
is
a
partnership
with
the
environmental
Department.
G
Once
we
were
determined
and
we
were
appropriated
the
funds,
then
we
went
and
started
our
Communications
with
our
our
other
partners
bcyf
and
the
school
department
from
there.
We
determined
the
most
need
for
this
cycle
this.
This
is
a
program
that
is
self-funding
and
it
will
continue
to
hopefully
last
for
a
long
time.
This.
This
allows
a
lot
of
work
to
happen
outside
of
chapter
149
time.
So
with
this,
this
is
a
chapter
25A
program
which
allows
for
things
to
be
done
expeditiously
in
terms
of
how
we
can
get
this
work
done.
G
So
we
we
started
these
communications
with
the
schools,
the
school
leaders
and
bcyf,
probably
a
few
months
ago
and
developing
a
plan.
We
weren't
there's
no
secrets
here.
We
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
plans,
and
we
had
alternates
for
that.
So
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
PFD
as
executors
of
this
program,
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
program
and
then
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
our
partner
Mata.
H
Thank
you,
director,
Griffin,
to
piggyback
with
director
Griffin
said
we
are
an
energy
performance
contract.
We
have
between
OBM
environment
department
and
Honeywell,
which
is
our
Esco,
are
Energy
Services
Company.
So
we
work
with
the
various
City
departments
to
identify
buildings
based
on
their
energy
usage
and
the
the
Deep
needs
that
they
need.
So
this
has
been
a
process
again.
H
We've
worked
with
Boston
Public
Schools
we've
identified
again
buildings
based
on
you
know
the
the
most
savings
we
can
get
because
the
essentially
the
funding
comes
from
how
much
we're
able
to
save
from
the
measures
we
Implement.
Those
measures
are
heating,
ventilation,
air
condition,
upgrades
lighting,
low
flow
water
fixtures.
Anything
that
can
be
attributed
to
a
utility
bill
will
do
a
deep
energy
audit
in
those
sites
come
up
with
the
scope
of
work
and
essentially
Implement
that
construction.
H
Once
we
sign
the
contract
and
agree
to
the
scope,
we
are
at
the
third
cycle,
the
third
phase
of
this
program
that
started
construction
roughly
six
years
ago.
Schools
is
our
biggest
per
building.
They
have
the
the
largest
building
portfolio.
So
we
we
see
not
only
in
this
phase
but
few
phases.
A
lot
of
good
work
we
can
do
as
far
as
Energy
savings
and
saving
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
providing
these
buildings
the
improvements
that
they
need.
H
If
you
want
to
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
this
current
iteration
this
summer
is
our
phase
3B.
It
includes
Murphy,
ornberger,
tine
and
Condon.
These
are
our
deep
Dives.
We
call
them.
These
are
the
energy.
These
are
the
heating
ventilation,
air
condition
upgrades
that
take
a
lot
of
time
in
planning.
As
you
know,
to
install
these,
we
are
already
in
these
buildings
in
as
part
of
our
phase
3A
doing
what
we
call
the
light
touch,
which
is
the
lighting.
H
The
Water
fixtures
we've
been
able
to
install
these
second
shift
off
hours
with
minimal
disruption
and
we'll
continue
to
proceed
with
phase
three
B
the
summer
and
the
following
summer.
To
do
the
HVAC
deeper
retrofit
upgrades.
H
H
Yeah
so
to
date,
I
have
it
up
on
the
slide
as
far
as
see
them
phase
one
because
of
the
measures
that
we've
identified
and
installed
sorry
technical
difficulties.
H
H
That
cycle
starts
as
far
as
the
savings,
what
we're
anticipating,
roughly
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
in
Energy
savings
phase,
3A,
which
is
currently
under
construction,
we're
we're
anticipating,
roughly
half
a
million
dollars
in
Energy
savings
based
on
those
installations
and
phase
3B,
which
is
up,
which
is
upcoming.
This
summer
and
summer
2024
we're
anticipating
roughly
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
dollars
on
utility
savings.
H
You
know
we
put
some
of
the
numbers
how
to
equate
what
that
usage
is
as
far
as
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
there's
the
several
ways
you
can
interpret
that,
but
for
the
most
part
we
used
how
many
cars
you
take
off
the
road
so
phase,
one
or
roughly
400
cars
a
year
were
taken
off
the
road,
how
many
trees
planted
a
year
depending
on
what
that
usage?
Is
that
you're
saving?
You
convert
it
to
many
different
Energy
savings.
B
Thank
you
before
we
move
on
to
the
bcyf
presentation,
which
is
more
about
the
programming
and
the
impacts
and
program.
I
think
my
colleagues
would
like
to
do
a
deeper
dive
into
the
into
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
of
this
program,
and
this
sounds
like
a
fabulous
program
but
I
think
counselor
Baker
had
a
question
country
Baker
did
you
have.
D
G
Sure
so
chapter
149
is
the
bulk
of
PFD
work.
149
149a,
that
is
a
design
bid,
build
which
you
know
has
there's.
You
know
a
lot
in
terms
of
procurement
processes.
It
takes
a
little
longer
than
a
normal.
G
G
G
It's
an
eskos
with
the
utility
companies
and
it's
allowed
under
25A,
which
is
the
procurement
vehicle.
Okay,
so
it
allows
us
to
actually
contract
directly
with
a
contractor
which
we
happen
to
ours
is
Honeywell.
There
was
a
procurement
process
as
part
of
that
six
years
ago,
and
we
entered
into
this
agreement.
This
allows
us
to
work
directly
with
the
our
clients.
D
Correct
now
is
it
Adam
you
had
talked
about
savings
is
the
savings
because
I
know
when
we
did
this
with
the
street
lighting
a
couple
years
ago
they
switched
out,
they
went
to
LED
and
in
high
efficiency.
The
the
electric
companies
literally
gave
them
a
check.
D
So
there
was
a
savings
on
one
hand,
but
then,
then
a
check
came
from
them
it.
When
you
talk
about
the
dollars,
it's
more
just
savings
that
will
that
will
maybe
come
off
on
folks
and
energy.
Energy
costs
down
the
line
in
a
year
or
year
or
two.
Is
there
any
compensation
coming
for
making
these
efficiencies
up
front
like
with
with
what
the
energy
companies
do
with
Street
lighting.
H
Correct
so
we
have
a
relationship,
as
you
know,
with
with
all
the
utilities
in
the
city,
so
we
essentially
use
which,
similar
to
the
massive
program
which
each
of
the
measures
we
perform
have
a
certain
incentive
or
rebate
a
lot
of
the
stuff
is
custom.
So
we
work
directly
when
we
develop
these
Scopes.
We
work
directly
with
our
partners
utility
to
figure
out
what
what
they
will
fund
based
on
the
scope
that
we
present
them.
So
there
is
a
dollar
amount
that
we
get
from
the
utilities
to
offset
the
the
final
dollar
amount.
H
And
that
number
cheese
is
based
on
the
utility
periods,
a
three-year
period
where
they
set
the
next
guidelines
for
what
they're
going
to
incentivize.
So
it's
it's
a
process.
That's
always
ongoing.
Those
dollar
amounts
change
again,
based
on
that
three-year
period,
but
all
the
stuff
we
do
has
an
incentive
piece
that
the
utilities
grant
us.
As
far
as
the
work
we
do.
B
C
You
so
my
question
is
we're
going
to
be
doing
work
in
the
entire
building
correct,
not
just
on
the
community
center
sides.
Correct
and
I
noticed
that
the
Murphy
is
up
for
this
year
and
next
year
and
the
Condon
and
orenberger
are
just
the
others
seem
to
be
one
year.
Can
you
explain
why
I
mean
I'm
happy
to
know
that
there'll
be
two
years
worth
of
upgrades,
but
then
that
says
it's
in
really
bad
condition:
I.
H
So,
with
the
Murphy
in
particular,
with
the
two
back-to-back
closures,
one
of
them
is
for
the
HVAC
upgrades,
which
will
be
taking
place
in
2024.
This
go
around
typically
out
lighting
is,
is
one
of
our
easier
measures
to
install,
but
because
of
the
how
the
ceilings
are
in
the
spline
ceilings
that
they
have
in
the
Murphy.
H
We
work
together
with
Honeywell
and
the
subcontractor
and
said
you
know
what
it'd
be
a
lot
better
and
for
everybody
if
we
were
able
to
just
remove
that,
put
a
brand
new
ceiling
grid
and
put
the
lights
in,
because
we're
going
to
need
access
to
those
ceilings
summer
2024
to
get
to
the
mechanical
equipment,
that's
in
the
ceiling,
so
it
was
an
opportunity
for
us
to
address
the
sailing
need
because
those
the
ceilings,
those
tiles,
are
hard
to
get
these
days.
H
So
we're
going
to
remove
those
we're
going
to
put
the
a
new
grid,
that's
easier
for
facilities
or
maintenance
staff
to
get
into
in
future.
You
know
if
they
have
to
repair
anything
in
the
ceiling.
Also,
it
helps
us
with
the
lighting
install
because
with
the
spline
ceiling,
if
we
would
have
put
just
the
LED
up,
raising
it
it'd
be
tough
on
the
contract.
It'll
really
get
that
right
as
far
as
fixture
that
looks
nice
that
performs
well
and
that'll
fit
in
that
ceiling
without
damaging
it.
E
Good,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
my
my
question.
I
guess
could
be
answered
by
the
by
the
next
piano
or
the
next
group
or
speaker.
But
can
you
go
over
what
what
the
infrastructure
improvements
need
to
take
place
at
the
Condon
yep.
H
So
I
can
answer
that
Council
Okay,
so
my
information
so
with
the
cod
in
we've
identified,
there's
18
Air
Handlers
that
are
responsible
for
pushing
air
throughout
the
the
building,
yeah
eating
and
cooling
that
we're
going
to
replace,
there's
12,
there's
12
Supply
rooftop
fans
that
are
in
pool
condition
that
we're
going
to
replace
and
also
a
new
cooling
tower.
G
And
so
essentially,
we
cannot
keep
a
building
open
where
we
don't
have
the
air
quality
for
the
children
or
the
you
know,
humidity
or
cooling
in
the
summer.
So
that
would
be
that's
not
something
we
could.
We
would
even
do
and
then
to
if
we
would,
if
we
did
bring
in
temporary
units
that
takes
away
from
other
schools
in
the
program
where
we're
spending
money.
G
So
we
wanted
to
do
it
this
way
so
that
we
could
capture
I
mean
this
is
a
huge
undertaking
to
try
to
perform
this
much
work
in
a
very,
very
short
window.
So
we
wanted
to
you
know:
we've
been
working
with.
You
know
BPS
and
bcyf,
so
that
we
could
attain
this.
G
And
then
you
know
there
might
be
some
additional
work
as
the
year
goes
on
in
the
school
year,
but
that
would
be
done
after
hours.
So.
E
G
Say
that
it's
beyond
its
useful
life,
so
this
improves,
you
know,
adding
new
equipment
with
you
know,
based
on
today's
ashrae
standards,
is
always
an
improvement
for
the
air
quality.
Okay,
I!
Don't
want
to
say
that
it's
bad
air
quality
I
mean
I,
think
the
the
BPS
and
doesn't
you
know
their
best
to
maintain
their
equipment,
and
they
have
you
know
air
monitoring
throughout
the
build
their
buildings.
So
I
think
it's
be
it's
it's
well
beyond
its
useful
life.
E
Okay,
so
that
is
the
Condon
Madam
chair,
I'm,
just
I'm.
Just
thinking
should
could
I
go
through
other
schools
or
is
it
more
appropriate
for
me
to
wait
at
another.
B
I
think
perhaps
we
would
like
to
hear
from
bcyf
and
we'll
hear
what
they're
saying
and
then,
if
you,
if
you've
got
the
time,
they'll
be
great.
B
Know
well
and
I
might
be
asking
the
question
if
Council
Finn
might
be
wanting
to
ask
us.
You
know,
in
terms
of
I,
really
appreciate
that
this
is
incredibly
important
work,
a
hitchvac
and
air
cooling.
As
we
see
this
increased
with
climate
change,
we're
seeing
really
really
hot
weather
in
May
and
June,
when
schools
are
still
open
and
in
September
when
school,
kids
get
back
so
a
hitchvac
and
air
quality
infrastructure
is
really
important.
B
So
and
I
also
think
it's
wonderful
that
we're
we're
exploiting
the
opportunity
of
like
just
as
in
mass
saved
us
for
residential.
This
is
this
is
for
more
public
buildings,
so
I
appreciate
that
the
money's
there
we
should
be
using
it
and
just
in
terms
of
the
timeline,
you
know
how
many
schools
are
in
the
pipeline
that
going
forward
this
we're
talking
about
four
at
the
moment
like
I
know,
this
is
an
ongoing
program.
What's
the
plan
for
going
forward.
G
B
B
I
You
good
morning,
Madam
chair
councils,
Murphy
Baker
council,
president
Flynn,
the
commissioner
of
the
Boston
centers
for
Youth
and
families
known
as
bcyf.
I
So
first,
first
and
foremost,
we
are
thrilled
and
excited
to
work
with
PFD
and
BPS
on
these
Investments,
and
particularly
the
ones
there
are
school-based
sites
because,
of
course
we
benefit
from
that
and,
as
you
all
know,
dcyf
will
also
undergo
its
own
building
facilities
assessment.
So,
as
BPS
is
doing
some
of
that
work,
we
expect
we'll
be
in
the
same
position
where
making
these
tough
decisions
of.
When
do
you
need
to
actually
close
a
building.
I
So
that
said,
we
have
for
this
book
summer
summer,
2023,
as
Adam
mentioned,
there
are
three
bcyf
community
centers
within
the
facilities
that
are
planned
to
have
work
done
this
summer.
The
Murphy
School,
which
houses
the
bcyf
Leahy
Holleran,
the
bcyf
Tainan
Community
Center,
and
the
bcy
of
Quincy,
starting
with
the
Leahy
hollering,
the
Leahy,
has
operated
for
the
past
several
years
for
many
years.
A
licensed
licensed
summer
camp
that
camp
will
continue
to
operate
out
of
the
Perry
Leahy
hollering
per
the
site.
I
Director
had
mentioned
that
there
were
in
the
past,
the
the
programming
had
moved
to
the
Perry
temporarily,
so
it's
a
site
that
works
for
the
community
and
works
for
the
staff
they're
familiar
with
it,
and
the
the
summer
camp
can
be
licensed
out
of
that
site
as
well
the
families
there
was
no
need
to
notify
families
from
the
camp
because
registration
has
not
opened
yet
it
opens
on
April
1st,
but
we
have
already
communicated
with
members
of
the
site
and
families
that
have
utilized
the
services
in
the
past.
I
The
so
again
the
staff
will
relocate
to
that
facility
and
we
will
accommodate
any
families
that
need
transportation
to
the
Perry
from
the
Leahy
Holleran.
I
We
anticipate
to
have
the
curly
open
and
operational
by
the
summer,
so
they
will
have
that
facility
to
themselves
the
all
the
programming
will
move
to
that
site
and
communication
has
also
been
sent
to
the
Tainan
members
next
slide
and
for
this
summer,
The
Last
site
that
requires
a
contingency
plan
is
the
bcy
of
Quincy,
which,
unfortunately
again
because
of
the
scope
of
the
work
will
need
to
close.
There
are
nine
summer
camps
licensed
summer
camps
in
Chinatown,
so
the
Quincy
actually
doesn't
operate
a
licensed
summer
camp.
I
They
have
a
variety
of
drop-in
activities
and
they
are
actually
the
you
know
gym
or
the
pool
that
other
camps
use
in
the
area.
I
Communication
has
already
been
sent
to
the
partner
agencies
that
utilize
the
facility,
as
well
as
families,
and
if
families
choose
to
use
other
bcyf
locations
working
with
the
site
director,
we
will
accommodate
families
with
transportation
to
Alternative
locations
as
well
and
getting
I
have
ahead
of
next
summer
summer.
2024.
The
sites
that
we
know
will
also
be
impacted.
As
you've
already
noted,
the
lady
Holleran
is
a
two-year
project,
or
rather
two
summer
project
Adam
talked
about
what
that
work
entails.
I
At
this
time
we
planned
put
in
place
the
same
contingency
plan
as
this
summer,
but
of
course,
after
the
summer,
we'll
evaluate
and
see
if
that
is
the
plan,
the
site
that
works
and
we'll
make
any
changes
that
are
needed
before
the
next
summer.
I
I
We
will
implement
or
have
plans
to
have
the
same
contingency
plan,
as
is
Summer
and
as
with
the
lady
Holland,
will
evaluate
if
there's
any
alterations
or
any
other
changes
we
need
to
make
to
that
plan,
see
how
it
works
for
families
and
Forest
staff.
I
And
lastly,
next
summer
the
bcyf
warm
Burger,
which
the
Camp
Joy
I
believe
Council
Murphy
mentioned,
operates
out
of
the
Oren
Burger
Camp
Joy
families
will
be
notified.
Enrollment
is
current,
so
we
just
opened
Camp
to
our
applications.
So
all
the
families
that
have
used
that
service
in
that
camp
in
the
past
and
currently
will
be
notified.
But
the
staff
has
already
started
to
identify
alternative
locations
and
I
want
to
thank
BPS.
C
Thank
you
for
that
overview.
A
few
questions
and
I
would
like
to
start
with
notifying
families,
because
most
parents
know
that
if
you're
going
into
February-
and
you
haven't
already
planned
out
what
choices
your
children
are
going
to
do
for
summer
camp,
you
many
of
the
other
options
are
either
too
expensive
because
we
know
bcyf
is
very
accessible
because
the
cost
is
so
low
and
or
they're
filled.
C
So
one
of
the
reasons
we
also
and
thank
you
chair
for
Expediting,
this
hearing,
Consular
bacon
and
I,
said
like
we
need
families
to
know
right
that
communication,
because
if
the
Perry
isn't
going
to
be
an
option
or
if
you
know
so,
making
sure
that
we're
communicating
with
families
as
soon
as
possible
is
important
because
maybe
and
the
reason
I
say
that
as
a
special
education
teacher,
there
were
Summers.
C
I
worked
esy
or
the
other
summer
programs
that
are
offered
to
our
students
in
the
summer
through
BPS
and
many
families
piggyback
on
the
community
center,
in
the
sense
that
you
know
esy
might
be
from
10
to
2.
But
you
drop
off
at
the
camp,
that's
connected
to
the
school
and
then
you'll
or
when
this
will
you
drop
off
at
10,
maybe
to
esy.
But
then
you
can't
pick
up
your
child
until
you're
out
of
work
so
that
they
do
go
over
to
the
campsite
the
community
center
side.
C
So
that's
going
to
be
a
logistical,
maybe
nightmare
for
many
of
our
families
who
used
the
you
know
the
partnering
Community
Center
side
for
the
extended
day
needed
for
their
children.
C
Also
and
I
know
you
mentioned
Jill
and
Lisa
said
like
they
have
used
the
Perry
before,
but
when
you
think
of
the
Perry
like
why
not
the
Kenny,
because
the
Perry
doesn't
have
a
pool,
the
Perry
doesn't
have
a
gym
and
the
Perry
is
3.8
miles
away
from
the
Murphy
School
and
in
a
different
neighborhood
and
director
Griffin
Carrie,
you
were
you
know
in
Charlestown.
C
I
brought
this
up
when
I
filed
this
hearing
order
that
you
know
when
we
met
with
Charlestown
residents
about
the
clarity
pool,
even
though
there
were
other
pools
in
their
Community.
They
wanted
that
one,
even
though
they
could
go
to
the
North
End.
They
were
like
no,
we
want
our
pool
in
our
neighborhood
and
I.
Think
that
goes
to
what
councilor
Baker
is
saying
like.
Why
do?
C
Why
do
our
families
need
to
go
to
South
Boston,
especially
when
the
Perry
isn't
offering
a
gym
or
a
pool
that
the
Murphy
does
have,
rather
than
like
he
hollering,
and
will
three
and
four-year-olds
be
able
to
attend
I
heard
first
that,
because
of
the
lead
levels,
we've
had
we've
done
an
assessment
with
all
of
our
buildings
to
know,
especially
when
we're
trying
to
expand
our
preschool,
like
which
schools
can
add
our.
C
You
know,
Pre-K
grades
and
some
families
are
worried
that
their
three
or
four-year-old,
which
would
have
been
able
to
stay
with
the
siblings
at
the
one
Community
Center,
will
they
be
able
to
go
to
the
Perry?
And
my
last
question
for
now
is:
is
it
accessible
to
families,
children
who
have
you
know,
mobility
issues
at
the
Perry.
I
J
C
I
Yeah
we'll
confirm
what
spaces
are
being
okay.
Thank
you
and
get
back
to
you
at
the
site
and
the
then
you
mentioned
the
notifications,
so
the
registrations
I
mentioned
it
doesn't
open
until
April
1st,
and
that
was
the
dead
lighting
before
we
knew
it
wasn't
delayed
by
any
decisions,
and
we
were
trying
to
make
sure
we
confirmed
a
location
before,
of
course,
parents
had
to
enroll
and
the
there
were
other
locations
that
were
explored,
and
that
was
the
location
the
staff
advocated
for
and
we
do
have
with
the
other
sites
in
South
Boston.
I
They
are
going
to
be
accommodating
and
providing
and
coordinating
with
the
staff
to
ensure
that
the
amenities
of
Perry
school
doesn't
have
they
have
access
to.
So
they
can
use
the
gym
at
the
walls.
You
can
use
the
pool
at
the
content,
so
we
are
coordinating
with
those
sites
and
ensuring
that
we
are
making
every
effort
to
have
the
lady
hollering
kids
have
not
miss
a
beat
and
have
the
same
experience
they
would
have
had
at
the
Murphy
are.
C
D
Thank
you,
Mr
chair.
We
had
talked
about
the
curly
a
little
bit,
which
is
which
will
be
good
if
they're
able
to
use
that
and
use
the
beach.
That's
almost
like
a
regular
like
a
like
a
real
Camp
I
guess
if
they're,
not
real
camps,
but
I
I
would,
if
you
can
modern.
Thank
you.
D
If
you
can
talk
about
like
what
that
that
Transportation
plan
is
going
to
look
like,
so
if
if
the
Murphy
would
normally
start
at
eight
o'clock
or
nine
o'clock,
does
that
mean
get
down
the
Murphy
at
8,
30
and
there'll
be
yellow
buses?
There
that'll
bring
that'll,
bring
kids
over
to
the
Perry
and
and
the
curly.
We
did
say
that
Curly
will
be
available
to
them.
Correct.
D
I
D
Yeah,
which
would
probably
be
better
if
we
could
do
it
with
that
with
our
own
Vans,
yeah
and
I
think
see.
We
can
sit
and
talk
here
now,
but
until
it
all
starts
and
then
it's
like
we'll,
we
all
of
us
will
see
the
problems
on
day
one
day
two
day,
three.
So
again,
it's
going
to
be,
how
are
we
communicating
and
and
the
ability
to
communicate
and
the
ability
for
you
guys
more
you
than
public
facilities?
D
They
have
a
very
defined
job
for
you,
guys
to
be
flexible
in
in
working
with
working
with
I,
see
Liz
from
the
school
department.
Oh
your
school,
I'm,
sorry
Ryan!
You
wanted
to
say
something
earlier
and
you
didn't-
and
you
didn't
say
well,
we'll
get
we'll
get
to
you
in
a
second.
D
So,
as
long
as
we
are
flexible
and
and
able
to
move
like
that,
I
notice
in
the
city
a
lot
of
times
we
it
takes
three
days
to
get
an
answer,
and
that's
that's
what
we're
trying
to
avoid,
because
those
three
days
are
going
to
be
the
first
three
days
of
some
of
the
first
three
days
when
Mama,
Dad
or
whoever
is
dropping
Junior
off
and
Junior's
standing
on
the
sidewalk
down
there
and
that's
just
we
just
we
just
don't
want
it.
So
it's
more
of
a
let's.
D
Let's
stay
connected
on
this
one
and
exchange
cell
phone
numbers
and
make
sure
that,
like
if
I,
have
concerns
that
I'm
able
to
bring
them
to
you
and
we
can-
and
we
can
as
a
team,
help
help
the
kids
down
there
help
the
kids
and
help
the
staff
it
it's.
It's
critical
that
we
are
just
available
I
think
because
we
don't
want
to
stop
the
the
good
work,
that's
happening.
We
want
efficient
lights
and
efficient.
You
know
heating
systems
and
units
and
things
like
that.
But
we
don't.
D
We
have
to
be
able
to
do
the
backs
out
of
that
job
and
and
that's
all
communication
and
that's
all
sticking
together
on
it.
So
if
we're
gonna
off
you
for
a
second
here
if
we're
gonna,
if
it's
the
equivalent
of-
and
this
is
just
kind
of
a
quip,
I'm
gonna-
throw
at
yeah
yeah
if
it's
the
equivalent-
maybe
it
maybe
it's-
maybe
it's
to
you
Morgan.
If
we're,
if
it's
the
equivalent
of
planting
1600
trees,
can
we
plant
800
trees?
Someplace
can
I
get
some
trees
in
District
three?
That
would
be.
D
Don't
have
to
answer
that
yeah
all
hammering
down
on
communication,
because
this
transportation-
it's
not
ideal,
but
if
the
transportation
works
and
people
know
that
they're
still
bringing
their
kids
to
the
Murphy
or
even
if
you
can
get
them
over
to
the
power
to
get
them
over
the
Perry,
it's
going
to
be
critical
I
when
the
summertime
happens
and
I
guess,
that's
my
my
main
charge
that
we're
between
school
and
bcyf,
that
that
we're
operating
and
communicating
and
and
and
helping
as
best
we
can
for
all
these.
For
all
these
organizations,
so.
I
D
I
So,
even
before
I
get
the
call
or
many
of
you
typically,
they
would
have
already
flagged
it,
but
we
welcome
the
partnership
and,
as
you're
hearing
just
you
know,
elevating
any
issues
that
arise
but
I
I
am
fortunate.
That
I
have
an
incredibly
again
connected
Dynamic
experience
team
that
I
know
will
make
sure
that
all
of
those
kinks
are
identified
and
addressed
early
and.
D
And
so
action
items,
action
items
leaving
here
like
when
do
you
guys
sit
with
those
groups
and
say
this
is
this?
Is
what
you'll
probably
need
the
the
registration
first,
so
you
get
an
idea
of
numbers
so
around
that
first
week
of
April,
we
can
assume
that
we'll
start
having
meetings,
you
guys
won't
have
meetings
to
figure
out
for
lack
of
a
better
term
troop
movement,
how
we're
moving
our
troops,
these
little
kids
and
what
are
they
going
to
be
on?
D
You
know
the
bcy
of
Vans
or
you're
going
to
need
to
are
we
going
to
need
to
employ?
You
know
the
buses,
so
I
think
that's
going
to
be
critical
for
us
once
we
once
we
figure
out
what
the
what
the
masses
are
going
to
be,
and
we
should
probably
be
not
necessarily
involved
in
them
in
the
meetings,
but
no
have
an
understanding
of
what
the
meeting
is
going
to
be
about
when
the
meetings
are
and
what
what
our
goals,
what
our
goals
are,
are
going
to
be
there.
I
So
that
work
has
already
started
because,
as
for
instance,
the
with
the
Lee
hollering,
the
licensure
of
the
camp
right,
so
they
need
to
start
that
work
now
and
identifying
the
spaces,
and
all
of
that,
which
is
why
I
turned
to
Brian
about
his
face
when
Wade
went
and
did
the
walkthrough
of
the
the
Perry
school.
And
so
again
those
conversations
have
already
started.
I
Mapping
out
the
spaces,
the
how
many
we
anticipate
based
on
last
year's
enrollment
and
based
on
you
know,
current
enrollment
of
programming
and
use
of
space
and
we'll
continue
to
work
on
those
Logistics.
It's
just
that
again.
The
closer
we
get
to
over
the
next
couple
of
months,
we'll
have
a
more
defined.
D
I
You
know
layout
of
what
programs
you
know
the
what
The
Who
and
the.
Why
and
all
of
the
questions
that
you're
asking.
D
I
I
D
B
B
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
to
the
mayor's
Administration
for
being
here
and
for
providing
excellent
information
to
us
so
and
thank
you,
commissioner,
for
talking
about
bcyf
facilities.
E
So
what
I
just
want
to
go
into,
as
I
mentioned
in
my
opening
statement,
the
Jose
Quincy,
so
the
staff
from
Josiah
Quincy
would
be
moved
into
facilities
in
South
Boston,
the
North,
End
and
Charlestown.
E
E
Will
we
be
able
to
communicate
effectively
with
the
with
the
parents
of
the
of
the
students
that
traditionally
go
to
the
Josiah
Quincy
School,
some
of
the
students,
as
you,
as
you
know,
their
parents
speak
Cantonese
might
be
some
language
and
communication
related
challenges.
But
do
we
have
a
communication
plan
where
we're
able
to
communicate
with
the
parents
about
how
their
child
is
doing
at
Camp
about
any
issues
that
might
develop
about
any
logistic
challenges
or
how
to
better
coordinate
scheduling
for
the
child?.
I
Yep,
thank
you
for
the
question.
So,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
Quincy
doesn't
operate
a
summer
camp.
There
are
nine
other
licensed
summer
camps
in
the
Chinatown
area
that
families
utilize,
so
that's
quite
a
significant
number.
So,
rather
than
saturate,
you
know
the
community
with
another
program
or
summer
camp
that
isn't
needed
what
the
site
offers
is.
I
They
have
a
variety
of
drop-in
activities,
and
this
site
becomes
a
place
where
those
camps
again
have
swim
lessons
or
use
the
gymnasium
or
the
auditorium
they
do
employ
teens
for
the
summer
through
super
teens
as
well
as
Yee
those
teens.
The
scientists
will
be
applying
for
those
positions
because
they
would
have
been
allocated
on
within
the
next
few
weeks
and
those
the
staff
feel
confident
that
those
positions
will
be
absorbed
by
other
organizations
in
the
area.
I
So
the
families
as
I
mentioned
they
will
be
notified,
that
the
site
is
closed
and
they'll
be
notified
of
what
other
opportunities
are
across
the
network
as
well
as
other
non-profits,
and
if
they
are
interested
in
having
their
child
participate
in
another
bcya
program,
they
will
be
provided
with
transportation
from
the
site
and
as
far
as
the
linguistic
capacity
of
the
staff
and
communicating
with
them,
either
Mandarin
or
Cantonese.
We
do
have.
I
E
J
Good
morning
to
the
council,
my
name
is
Brian
Ford
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
the
facilities
department
and
on
top
of
the
programming
that
we
coordinate
with
the
bcyf
programs
that
are
in
schools
as
well.
E
Have
we
been
in
contact
yet
with
the
Wang
YMCA
about
how
they
can
help
us,
how
they
can
help
the
students
that
might
go
into
jqs
as
a
drop
in
site,
but
how
they
can
be
helpful
with
BPS
kids
for
exercise.
J
Yes,
so
we
actually
have
an
ongoing
relationship
and
we
work
with
the
Wang
all
year
long
as
for
the
exact
details
of
what's
happening
this
summer,
I'd
have
to
get
back
to
you,
but
I
know
that
it's
an
ongoing
partnership
where
the
school
leader
over
there
has
conversations
about
how
they
can
continue
to
Traverse
those
spaces
and
provide
programming.
I
Okay,
so
sorry
the
b2f
side,
the
the
director
has
communicated,
and
they
are
you
know,
open
to
assisting
and
we'll
continue
talking
to
them
about
any
details
and
what
that
means
as
far
as
expanding
access
or
including
some
of
the
youth
that
are
in
our
Center
and
as
I
understand
it.
A
lot
of
the
youth
use
the.
Why
and
other
programming
and
summer
camps
in
the
area
anyway,
so
from
the
families
are
familiar
with
the
the
other
entities
in
the
area.
I
You
I
also
wanted
to
add
that,
in
addition,
I
mentioned
communication
to
families
and
members.
We've
also
already
updated
our
landing
page
on
the
city's
website
and
we'll
just
continue
to
communicate
and
reiterate
again,
not
just
the
closure
for
this
summer,
but
next
year,
so
that
we
can
start
to
have
families
plan.
E
Okay
and
in
my
last
question
at
the
Josiah
Quincy,
what
is
the
what
is
BPS
doing
or
what
is
bcyf
doing
in
terms
of
food
access
to
young
people,
to
students
to
Camp
to
kids
in
Camp,
maybe
to
their
families?
What
are
we
doing
on
food
access
issues.
J
So
I
know
that
being
a
member
of
BPS,
we
usually
have
our
food
nutritional
services
that
does
delivery
programs
to
both
the
community
center
schools
and
programs
that
are
operating
in
the
city
of
Boston.
But
I
do
not
have
my
counterparts
from
food
nutritional
Services
here
so
I
will
have
to
talk
with
them
and
get
you
that
answer
later
to.
E
B
E
C
I
have
a
staffing
question,
commissioner:
Rivera.
If
we
find
out
that
enrollment
is
it
drops?
Will
we
still
fully
staff
these
programs?
Many
of
the
youth,
the
kids,
have
grown
up
through
the
system
where
campers
themselves
they're
looking
forward
to
you,
know
being
a
counselor
this
summer,
and
now
this
is
kind
of
getting
in
the
way.
C
Will
we
be
making
sure
that
all
of
the
kids
who
had
planned
that
this
was
the
summer
they
were
old
enough
and
they
had
done
everything
they
needed
to
to
be
licensed
to
be
a
camp
counselor
that
we're
going
to
make
sure
we're
hiring
all
of
them.
Even
if
we
find
out
that
the
enrollment
is
down
because
some
families
don't
see
and
I
could
talk
to
each
individual.
C
But
if
we
think
of
you
know
the
con
the
leiky
hollering
like
if
they
find
out
that
less
kids
are
going
to
sign
up
and
they're
going
to
use
the
drop-in
down
at
the
Garvey
or
other
options
around
the
neighborhood.
C
C
C
That
would
be
great
to
make
sure
you
I
know
in
BPS
we
we
spend
lots
of
millions
of
dollars
on
funding
empty
seats,
I
think
if
we
could
make
that
commitment
to
these
individual
community,
centers
impacted
and
I'm
assuming
lifeguards,
because
we
have
such
a
shortage
that
it
may
actually,
with
some
of
these
pools,
closed
Health
ease,
putting
lifeguards
in
different
positions,
but
the
actual
camp
councils.
B
Thank
you,
councilor
Murphy
concert.
Baker,
do
you
have
any
questions?
Yeah
I
do
I
I,
councilman
Murphy
just
asked
the
question.
I
was
going
to
ask
about
Staffing
and
and
I.
Imagine,
because
students
and
young
people
will
be
moving
around
in
different
to
different
locations
and
maybe
an
element
of
more
more
extra
coordination
needed
just
to
connect
all
the
docs
and
keep
Communication
open
across
different
places,
spaces
that
you
may
normally
not
work
in
not
be
connected.
B
Necessarily
who
do
you
have
a
sort
of
a
coordinator
who's
going
to
oversee
how
all
this
is
going
to
pull
together
and
a
troubleshooter
and
Problem
Solver?
Who
I
don't
know
at
The,
Kinks,
I'm
sure
there's
going
to
be
Kinks,
but
they.
I
Have
some
news,
as
I
mentioned,
the
Kings
will
be
worked
out
at
the
at
the
site
level.
The
coordination
happens
to
our
operations
team,
and
then
we
have
weekly
meetings
with
BPS
and
pfds.
We
have
a
series
of
meetings
at
different
levels
across
departments
and
but
again
when
the
program,
implementations
or
the
programs
are
open
for
the
summer,
it
really
is
the
site
level
staff
working
with
our
operations
team,
the
region,
operations
managers
and
our
director
operations,
Eddie
McGuire.
That
will
be
working
through
some
of
these
shoes.
B
Yeah
and
and
to
the
to
the
question
about
lifeguards
like
I,
think
last
summer
we
had
a
really
hard
time
getting
enough
lifeguards.
So
do
we
have
a
pipeline
to
develop
those?
You
know
to
certify
lifeguards
and
young
up
and
coming
counselors
in
in
bcyf
who've
got
an
aptitude.
Do
we
have
a
program
to
train
them
and
help.
I
Them
get
those
jobs,
we
do
it's.
We
have
a
junior
lifeguard
program.
B
I
What
we
want
to
do
for
the
future
is
build
that
up
as
well
as
ensure
that
we
have
swim
programming
to
feed
into
that
pipeline,
so
as
early
as
possible,
but
until
we
have
all
of
our
lifeguards
it's
it's
hard
to
do.
You
know,
because
we
need
a
certain
ratio
to
be
able
to
do
the
swim
classes,
but
I
will
be
sharing
a
lot
of
that
in
our
budget
hearing
which
I'm
sure
all
of
you
have
a
lot
of
questions
around
that.

We
go
through
this
delicate
balance
of
how
many
programs
do
we
have
and
where
should
we
place
them
based
upon
the
work
that
needs
to
happen
in
the
building?
As
you
know,
we've
sat
in
this
room
many
times
and
talked
about
the
work
that
needs
to
happen
in
VPS
because
of
our
school
year.
It
generally
happens
at
a
very
finite
time,
which
gives
us
eight
weeks
to
make
major
minor,
Renovations
and
refresh
the
school
building
along
with
our
normal
cleaning.
J
So
the
answer
is
yes:
sometimes
the
Murphy
has
programming,
but
the
programming
is
not
building
the
Perry,
the
Perry,
the
Perry
right,
the
Perry
has
building
programming
but
is
not
always
building
specific,
so
we
oftentimes
move
them
around
the
district
to
make
sure
we
can
accommodate
for
the
changes,
improvements
and
oftentimes
construction
with
our
partners.
Here
to
my
right.
Okay,.
D
Thank
you
and
I
think
Morgan.
This
might
be
viewed.
Can
you
talk
and
I
know
you
did
a
bit
at
the
beginning,
renew
lost
and
Trust?
How
did
it
come
to
be?
Is
it
a
new?
Is
it
a
new
tool
that
we're
using
to
is
it?
Is
it
connected
to
Opera
money,
so
we
can
spend
that
money
efficiently
and
correctly
or
or
yeah?
Whoever
wants
to
win,
sir.
F
Sure
and
I
think
Adam
is
probably
more
of
an
expert
on
the
subject
than
I
am
but
I
believe
this
program
was
begun
in
2017
as
an
effort
to
use
some
sort
of
alternative
financing
to
help
us
make
our
buildings
more
energy
efficient.
So
it's
a
financing
mechanism
where
we
borrow
against
the
savings
that
we
will
generate
from.
F
B
E
My
my
question
or
comments.
I
wanted
to
see
with
the
issue
with
the
Perry
School,
taking
on
more
possibly
more
students
or
more
Camp
kids.
We
also
have
we
also
communicated
with
the
parks
department
as
well.
I
know
they
have
summer
programs
in
and
around
Medal
of
Honor
Park
I
see
them
up
there
frequently
in
the
summertime.
E
E
J
E
That
might
be,
that
might
be
a
good
opportunity
to
develop
some
Partnerships
with
with
other
City
departments,
but
also
with
other
non-profits
in
commissioner
I
know
you're
familiar
with
this
issue
and
we're
going
to
be
opening
a
brand
new,
state-of-the-art,
curly,
Recreation
Center
very
soon
and
I
know
it
could
play
a
critical
role
this
summer.
For
for
young
people
for
students,
my
concern
is
and
I
know
it's
probably
a
concern
of
of
everyone's
when
we
do
factor
in.
E
If
there
are
kids
going
to
be
going
there
for
camp
could
be
also
factor
in
The
Pedestrian
safety
access,
the
drop-off
location
for
the
kids
going
to
Camp
I
am
often
concerned
about
the
traffic
going
by
on
the
boulevard
and
I
know.
I
know
you
are
as
well,
but
could
we
work
together
on
a
a
plan
where
we
could
make
sure
that
Boston
transportation
is
involved?
The
Boston
Public
Schools
Boston
police
are
involved
as
well
to
make
sure
that
we
provide
the
safest
route
into
the
building
as
possible
for
the
kids.
E
Okay
and
as
and
as
we
go
through
the
summer
and
I
know
there'll
be
some
there'll,
be
some
changes
to
this,
and
things
might
change
on
the
Fly
because
of
some
certain
logistic
issues.
But
is
it
possible
to
keep
the
district
City
councils
especially
involved
and
informed,
and
we
could
help
communicate
your
message
to
residents
as
well?
And
we
could
you
could
use
us
as
a
as
as
as
people
that
can't
get
your
message
out
to
our
constituents
in
a
particular
neighborhood
neighborhood.
E
Yeah,
that
would
be
great
and
just
finally,
as
we
go
into
budget
season
and
it's
our
job
to
advocate
for
services
and
programs
in
our
district,
but
also
city-wide
as
well.
Certainly,
the
the
the
camp
of
special
for
children
with
special
needs
is
a
is
an
excellent
program.
An
excellent
camp
impacts
every
every
neighborhood
in
the
city,
but
is
there
anything
that
we,
as
City
councils,
can
do
during
the
budget
process
that
could
be
helpful
to
anyone
here?
So
we
can
improve
Services.
E
F
E
F
Other
facilities,
maintenance
measures
that'll
allow
us
to
do
better,
proactive
planning
for
Capital
maintenance
so
that
we
can
keep
our
buildings
in
really
good
repair
and
make
sure
that
they're
available
for
the
programming
that
are
that
our
families
deserve.
So
we
look
forward
to
speaking
with
you
more
about
that
during
the
budget
cycle.
Okay,.
E
A
E
B
B
D
We
figure
out
the
beach
piece,
the
sooner
we
can,
because
I
think
that
that
could
potentially
be
a
game
changer
the
beach
is
available.
I
think
that
is
a
good
I
mean
for
me,
I
like
the
beach
I
guess,
but
if
that
is
open
and
available
to
the
the
kids
that
are
coming
over,
that,
if
we
can
figure
that
out
sooner
rather
than
later
and
communicate
with
us.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank.
B
B
For
closing
statements,
but
we
have
public
testimony,
we
have
several
okay.
B
So
we'll
start
is
Dennis
Kirkpatrick
available.
B
K
A
B
B
Folks,
who
are
signed
up
for
virtual
testimony
are
not
available
right
now,
councilor
Murphy.
Would
you
like
to
closing
statement.
C
Yes,
thank
you
and
I'll
Echo.
What
Dennis
Kirkpatrick
said
all
my
questions
were
answered
now,
thank
you
for
coming
and
being
prepared
and
just
sharing
what
you
know
in
you
know
promising
that
going
forward
we're
going
to
continue
that
communication,
because,
as
you
know,
when
parents
or
people
are
afraid,
then
the
rumors
start
and
they
spread
quicker
than
the
truth.
So
one
of
the
reasons
we
you
know
filed
this
right
away
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
were
supporting
your
message
of
it's
going
to
be.
C
Okay
and
the
Project's
happening
are
needed
and
are
great,
so
we
should
be.
You
know
applauding
that
we're
having
this
work
done.
At
the
same
time,
lots
of
people
doing
all
the
right
things
to
make
sure
that
our
kids
are
going
to
have
programming
offered
in
a
way
that's
going
to
be
accessible
and
safe
and
fun
for
them,
and
parents
can
not
have
to
worry
about
it.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
look
forward
to
continuing
to
communicate
to
make
sure
we
have
a
smooth
summer
camp
opening
at
all
of
our
centers.
Thank
you.
Councilor.
B
E
B
Joining
us,
would
you
like
to
give
your
public
testimony.
L
Yes,
can
you
hear
me
we
can
hear
you?
Thank
you.
Okay,
great
I
have
a
series
of
questions.
My
first
one
has
to
do
with
what
is
bps's
plan
for
the
impact
relative
to
transportation
of
those
young
people
that
have
always
done
foot
traveling
to
the
schools
that
are
going
to
be
directly
impacted.
How
many
of
those
children
will
be
reassigned
to
other
locations
where
I'm
very
concerned,
as
councilor
Flynn,
is
about
Public
Safety
crossing
the
streets,
the
impact
of
bus
transportation
through
those
areas
that
are
also
occupied
by
charter
schools?
L
I'm
suggesting
you,
you
should
know
from
the
schools
that
have
been
operating,
how
many
of
those
young
people
either
walk
to
school,
take
public
transportation
or
take
the
school
bus
and
what
I'm
asking
is?
Have
you
looked
at
based
on
that
those
young
people
are
going
to
be
assigned
to
a
new
location?
Is
that
correct,
where
they're
going
to
be
attending
whatever,
whatever
programs
they're
going
to
be
attending,
it's
going
to
be
a
new
location
for
them.
C
Yes,
but
like
I
when
I
started,
I
did
say
we
I
invited
a
panelist
from
the
special
ed
department
at
BPS
they're,
not
here
today.
So
we'll
have
to
continue
that
conversation
because
they
do
not
have
a
plan
yet
in
place
for
but
I'm
going
to
say
that
BPS
is
going
to
have
to
get
them
there.
It
is
their
legal
responsibility,
so
we'll
make
sure
that
that
happens.
L
So
my
question
question
in
regard
to
that
is
I
would
think
that
the
first
priority
on
DPS
would
be
to
look
at
what
challenges
they
had
transporting
young
people
in
the
last
cycle
to
the
summer
programs
and
what
what
things
have
they
learned
from
it
that
they're
preparing
to
get
ahead
of
right
now
for
this
coming
cycle,
the
gentleman's
question
the
gentleman's
response
about
using
affiliated
non-profits
I'm
I,
want
to
know.
Have
you
done
an
analysis
of
the
neighborhoods
where
the
schools
that
you're
going
to
be
operating
programs
in
have
a
good
neighborhood
association?
L
L
And
then
my
last
question
has
to
do
with
the
community
centers
I
heard
you
talk
about
lifeguards,
I,
don't
know
if
you
all
know,
but
but
DCI
has
had
a
phenomenal
I
I
like
God
training
program
for
years
and
I,
don't
know
if
the
city
of
Boston
has
taken
advantage
of
it,
but
I
would
think
that
the
school
department
would
make
some
connection
with
DCI
they
have
instructors.
L
It
would
seem
to
me
that
they
would
offset
the
cost
or
the
city
being
able
to
afford,
like
God's
at
various
locations
and
I
would
also
think
that
the
Mass
Department
of
Environmental
Protection
would
also
be
able
to
just
help
sponsor
whatever
environmental
related
programs
are
going
to
be
offered
to
these
young
people.
In
the
summer
we
have
a
number
of
Community
Gardens.
At
the
neighborhood
level,
we
have
a
number
of
agricultural
initiatives
happening
with
non-profits
and
I
would
like
to
see
us
PRI
young
people
with
those
experiences.
L
B
I
think
my
understanding
is
that
Contra
Murphy
is
also
going
to
have
another
hearing
on
summer
jobs,
and
some
of
these
questions
are
actually
pertinent
in
that
conversation
as
well.
So
next
person
is
Priscilla,
Flint
Priscilla.
B
Okay,
it
seems
that
Priscilla
is
having
difficulty
getting
on
anyone
who's
watching
this
hearing
who
would
like
to
you
know
contact
us
by
email.
Please
do
so
we
want
to
hear
from
from
the
community
and
from
the
public
on
this
issue.
So
if
you,
if
you
feel
moved
to
communicate,
please
do
Country
Murphy
I'm
good.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
everyone
for
being
here
this
morning,
hearing
no
other
public
testimony
and
no
other
questions.
Thank
you.
This
meeting
is
adjourned.
