B
B
Today,
I
am
joined
by
my
colleagues
city
council
president
Ed
Flynn
of
District
2,
District,
5,
City
councilor,
and
the
co-sponsor
councilor
Ricardo
Arroyo
and
District
4
City
councilor
Brian
Worrell.
We
are
joined
by
the
administration.
We
have
Chief
white
Hammond,
the
chief
of
environment,
energy
and
open
space,
Leo
Boucher,
the
director
of
Maintenance
and
operations
and
commissioner
for
the
parks
and
recreations
Ryan
Woods.
B
We
are
also
joined
by
Jay
Serrano,
who
is
with
us
and
is
a
BPS
student
and
a
Community
member
and
his
mother,
Stephanie
Trinidad,
who
are
in
the
chambers
with
us
today.
So
this
is
a
working
session.
So,
unlike
a
hearing,
it's
much
more
open
discussion
and
we're
here
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
adjustable
height
basketball.
Hoops
I
would
like
to
start
off
with
Jace.
If
that
is
okay
with
everybody,
we're
gonna
get
Jace's
mic
on
and
we're
gonna
hear
from
Jay
SWAT
he's
looking
for
it's
on
yep
there
you
go.
B
A
B
I
thought
it
was
something
that
we
should
explore
and
I
know
that
we've
been
having
some
conversations
about
how
that
happens
and
what
that
looks
like
another
parent
has
gotten
wind
of
our
working
session,
and
they
have
also
sent
a
video
of
another
child
who
wanted
to
advocate
for
the
hoop.
So
we're
gonna
play
the
video
now
so
that
we
can
see
it.
B
Thank
you
so
much
and
that
that
was
pierce
Ransom
who
sent
that
video
into
so
Jace.
It's
not
just.
You
I
think
that
you
sending
your
letter
is
going
to
help
a
lot
of
other
kids,
your
age,
so
you're,
not
just
asking
for
yourself.
Everybody
else
wants
to
have
a
conversation
about
it,
so
I'm
hoping
to
hear
from
the
administration.
What
are
you
know?
What
are
your
thoughts?
How
does
how
does
this
go
and
obviously
you're
sitting
next
to
Jason?
You
can
talk
to
him
so.
E
As
I
said,
I'm,
Reverend,
Mario
and
chief
of
environment,
energy
and
open
space,
I
oversee
the
parks
department.
We
were
made
aware
of
this
by
counselor,
Lara
and
so
very
shortly
you
will
hear
from
Ryan
Woods,
who
is
our
Parks
commissioner
and
Leo
Boucher,
who
oversees
maintenance
on
all
of
our
parks,
and
we
have
some
ideas
based
on
what
you've
raised,
but
also
want
to
lift
up
this
important
suggestion.
We
we
try
very
hard
to
make
sure
our
parks
are
open
and
accessible
to
everyone.
E
I
think
what
Jason
is
Raising
is,
we
think,
a
lot
about
sort
of
the
tot
lots
and
the
playground
area
and
we
think
a
lot
about
Recreation
but
I
think
what
you're
lifting
up
is.
How
do
we
help
our
children
transition
from
when
they
might
be
playground
age,
but
they
might
not
yet
be
sort
of
middle
school,
basketball,
Age
and
and
you're
not
going
to
be
great
at
basketball
in
middle
school
and
high
school.
Unless
you
have
an
opportunity
to
start
practicing
earlier
and
so
I
think
it's
a
really
great
idea.
E
We
try
to
make
sure
our
parks
are
matching
the
needs
at
every
stage
of
folks
lives,
but
you
have
raised
this
important
question
of
how
we
help
children
transition
from
the
sort
of
smaller
kids
way
of
using
the
park
to
the
big
kids
way
of
using
the
park
in
a
in
a
way
that
allows
you
to
to
gain
your
skills
and
and
show
your
your
possibilities
a
little
bit
earlier.
So
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
commissioner
Woods
to
share
a
little
bit.
F
F
For
that,
thank
you,
counselor
I
have
a
six-year-old
and
a
nine-year-old
as
well
that
both
play
basketball
so
and
they're
fortunate
to
go
into
the
neighbor's
yard.
That
has
an
adjustable
hoop,
so
they
use
it
all
the
time,
because
in
the
park
near
our
house,
we
also
have
high
hoops
so
I
printed
off
a
couple
of
pictures
that
I'm
going
to
share
of
a
couple
places
one's
in
JP
and
one's
in
Charlestown
of
the
two
Hoops
that
we
know
of
that
are
lower
level.
F
The
challenge
with
these
hoops
are
they
are
set
at.
You
know
about
a
five
foot
level
they're,
not
adjustable,
because
one
of
the
challengers
like
when
you
go
to
a
vcyf
center
or
Community
Center
or
a
school,
is
they
have
full-time
employees
that
work
at
each
of
those
places
that
are
able
to
easily
help
lift
up
the
hoop
and
bring
it
down
for
every
single
time.
Somebody
wants
to
use
it
and
adjust
it
all
the
time.
F
F
So
we
see
that
it's
there.
So
we
just
want
to
show
some
examples,
because,
if
we're
not
always
in
a
park
to
be
able
to
lift
them
up
and
raise
them
down,
you
know
or
have
the
equipment
there.
You
know
and
sometimes
they're
left
down,
people
that
want
to
be
more
aggressive
with
it,
sometimes
like
the
slam
dunk
and
do
a
little
more
damage
to
those
that
they
may
intend
to.
F
B
E
B
E
D
E
F
D
So
one
of
my
concerns
was
like
making
sure
that,
if
this
is,
if
that's
how
we
end
up
doing
it,
that
you
know
people
are
good,
adults
are
going
to
run
back
and
forth
on
the
other
one.
If
anybody
Falls
or
runs
into
one
of
those
polls,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
adequately
cushioned
or
that
they're
in
a
position
where
there's
some
space
that
you're,
not
necessarily
in
a
position
to
smack
into
them.
E
Right,
that's
why
I
can't
run
this
this.
They
have
to
be
in
sort
of
a
t
yeah,
because
if
you
put
them
on
the
same
like
because
the
other
layer
to
that
is
it
that
level
of
running
back
and
forth
if
your
legs
are
smaller,
is
a
significantly
longer
difference.
So
so,
if
you're,
turning
those
to
the
side
yeah,
you
decrease
the
chance
that
that
players
on
the
I
mean,
obviously
you
can't
play
at
the
same
time.
No.
E
E
D
Because
it's
about
human,
like
human
adult
size
when
you're
at
the
top
of
it
right,
so
you
could
like
run
into
the
hoop
there's
a
bunch
of
things
that
could
happen
there.
We
want
to
kind
of
make
sure
it
doesn't
happen,
but
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
to
do
it
that
way.
I
know
we
probably
don't
do
we
have
the
resources.
Is
there
like
so.
H
D
I
D
Except
the
youth
looked
different
than
the
people
who
lived
in
the
neighborhood,
and
so
they
cut
it
to
a
half
court
for
no
reason
other
than
to
really
make
it
so
that
didn't
get
usage,
and
so
nowadays
it
doesn't
get
almost
any
usage.
I've,
never
seen
anybody
play
a
half
court
game
there,
and
so
that
is
the
kind
of
location
I
don't
know.
If
the
I
don't
know.
If
this
city
has
any
half
court
spaces,
but
I
would
assume
they
get
less
usage
in
a
half
court.
Space
would
probably
be
perfect
for
an
idea.
H
H
H
D
Yeah
because,
like
for
instance,
somewhere
like
Almont
park,
has
so
much
space
that
if
you
were
to
put
a
half
like
a
child-sized
cord
on
the
other
side
of
the
tennis
courts,
where
like
there's
like
a
cricket
field
or
whatever
that
would
probably
fit
just
fine,
but
I
don't
know.
Maybe
this
would
be
helpful.
What
is
the
cost
to
build
because
there's
there's
a
there
is
obviously,
if
you're
going
to
put
in
sort
of
the
surface,
maybe
put
fencing
or
not
put
fencing
I,
don't
know
how
you
would
do
that
or.
D
E
Great
I
mean
I,
think
I
think
these
are
examples
of
how
we
could
take
spaces
that
already
exist
and
with
not
a
lot
of
resources.
You
could
add
something,
but
it
it
would
have
the
challenge
that
you
then
the
little
kids
and
the
big
kids
couldn't
be
there
at
the
same
time,
I
think
the
idea
of
having
smaller
kids
courts
right
now,
that's
not
usually
something
that
people
are
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
get
as
much
possibility
into
yeah.
E
That's
that's
where
I
mean
you
know.
Having
now
sat
through
a
few
of
our
design
processes,
you
I
mean
what
one
of
the
challenges
you
have
is
that
you
have
different
constituencies
of
folks
that
all
want
different
things
right
like
whether
or
not
you
can
as
an
example
like
if
you
have
two
softball
fields,
and
that
could
be
a
tournament
Park.
But
if
you
only
have
one
softball
field,
then
it
really
can't
because
then
you
have
to
spread
your
tournament.
You
know
so
so
people
are
trying
to
maximize
space
in
in
lots
of
different
ways.
E
The
one
thing
I
would
say
is
because
it
would
be
smaller.
It
might
be
the
kind
of
thing
that
if
you
get
lucky,
you
might
have
this
odd
space
that
could
fit
it.
Whether
or
not
we
could
do
it
consistently
at
every
park.
With
all
of
the
different
things
that
want
people
want,
I,
think
I,
think
that
would
be
a
challenge.
There
might
be
some
parks
that
could
be
well
set
up,
because
we
do
have
some
parks
that
are
smaller
for.
E
Into
particularly
in
Roxbury,
we
have
some
spot
parks
that
are
smaller
and
probably
at
this
point
are
considered
not
viable
for
any
kind
of
recreation
because
it
can't
fit
anything.
That's
regulation,
size,
one
possibility
is,
as
we
think
about
some
of
those
spaces,
they
can't
fit
regulation,
but
these
are
not
regulations.
D
Then,
if
you
promote
that
population-
and
then
you
know,
Roxbury
is
a
good
location,
because
it's
Central
I'm,
just
thinking
through
the
parks
we've
got
in
my
district
there's.
A
lot
of
them
are
DCR,
because
the
High
Park,
but
Roslindale
has
a
few
but
I.
Think
if,
if
we're
gonna
do
this-
and
you
actually
do
it,
maybe
in
one
two
or
three
different
locations
and
then
promote
that
to
parents,
I
think
that
it
becomes
sort
of
a
destination.
C
E
D
The
ones
that
I'm
thinking
of
is
one
of
the
ones
I
attended,
which
was
the
sour
Greenwood,
which
is
pretty
well
located,
has
that
big
back
rope
and
we
used
to
use
it
for
like
soccer,
but
it
was
all
asphalt
right
so
like
I,
don't
even
think
they
really
parked
back
there.
It
was
just
literally
just
a
big
big.
It's
a
big
space,
so
that's
like,
and
it's
already
in
sort
of
that
condition
and
the
local
community
was
already
going
up
in
there.
E
E
C
C
C
E
E
It
would
be
great
for
if
they
were
able
to
go
there,
see
what
we
have
already
and
just
give
us
some
feedback
about.
What's
there
because
I
know
that
that
solution
is
one
that
we
probably
could
do
sooner
rather
than
later,
because
it
doesn't
take
a
whole
park
redesign,
and
so
it
would
be
great
to
sort
of
hear
from
them
directly,
like.
Obviously,
I
am
tall
enough
that
I'm
not
going
to
have
an
accurate
personal
understanding
of
how
it
works.
E
It
would
be
great
to
have
someone
who
can
have
an
accurate
person,
understanding
and
and
and
maybe
also
because
it's
well
used-
maybe
they're
parents,
and
then
that
would
give
us
some
additional
feedback.
I
think
we
can
definitely
move
on
the
interim
solution
and
really
figure
out.
I
mean
we'll
have
to
look
at
your
particular
Park
and
sort
of
what
constraints
there
are
or
are
not,
but
I
think
we
can
certainly
find
a
park
in
Roxbury.
That's
I
know
that
is
not
Beyond
this
to
find
a
park
and
Roxbury
that
this
can
work.
E
E
E
C
E
So
do
each
of
our
Parks
is
different,
and
so
like
some
of
them,
we
have
untold
amounts
of
space
and
we
can
really
think
and
some
of
them
we
have
like
real
space
constraints,
sometimes
they're
on
Hills.
So
like
you
can't
do
this
or
that.
But
we
do
have
a
practice
of
trying
to
make
sure
that
certain
kinds
of
things
we
see
one
per
neighborhood
or
one
per
region.
So,
for
instance,
we
have
three
Parks
correct
Ryan
that
are
full
sensory
parks.
E
E
How
are
we
communicating
this
better
so
that,
if
you
go
to
our
Parks
website,
you
might
have
an
opportunity
to
say
I'm
looking
for
this
resource,
yeah
chances
I
would
probably
have
it,
but
that
doesn't
help
you
if
you
don't
know
332
properties
in
the
parks
department.
Yes,
so
you
you
would
definitely
need
something
that
helps
you
navigate
that
because
can't
be
like
a
drop
down
list
and
you're
gonna
have
to
scroll
through
all
332.
we'll
have.
B
B
B
B
Me
another
write
me
another
letter
or
record.
You
know
what
send
us
a
video.
However,
you
want
to
do
it
whatever
feels
good
for
you
yeah
exactly
and
let
us
know
how
you
like
it
and
then
we'll
we'll
work
together
to
find
a
place.
That's
closer
to
you.
Okay,
beautiful
I,
just
want
to
give
it
to
an
opportunity
for
my
Council
colleague,
president
Flynn
and
councilor
warrell,
to
say
a
few
words
before
you.
G
My
comment
really
is
to
Jace's
mother,
and
you
know
just
you
must
be
proud
to
have
see
this
young
young
boy
here
who's
doing
such
a
tremendous
job
and
he's
well
behaved
and
he's
a
real
credit
and
just
want
to
say
congratulations
on
the
great
work
that
you're
doing
of
raising
this
little
little
boy
and
he's
he's
a
really
nice
kid.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say:
congratulations
to
you!
Thank
you
and
I.
Guess
my
I
guess
my
comment,
maybe
to
the
chair
or
maybe
to
or
maybe
to
whoever
else
in.
G
Work
on
together
is
supporting
people
with
with
disabilities
as
well
young
people
with
disabilities,
but
with
it
with
this
also
help
young
children
with
with
disabilities
I'm
just
kind
of
thinking
out
loud
a
little
bit
with
having
a
basketball
Rim
a
little
lower.
Does
that
give
young
young
children
with
disabilities
an
opportunity
to
play
a
little
bit
more
Sports
and
be
a
little
more
engaged
in
in
basketball.
H
So
I
hope
so
I
mean
the
the
Hoops
are
going
to
be
lower,
so
they'll
be
accessible
based
on
the
height,
you
might
be
able
to
work
from
a
wheelchair,
yeah
I'm,
a
big
try,
manino
Park
Fan
I
walk
through
there
every
day,
it's
kind
of
a
place
I
like
to
keep
an
eye
on,
because
I've
got
a
little
cousin
who's
Down
syndrome
who
uses
it
on
a
regular
basis.
So
it's
very
close
to
me
so
places
like
that
are
wonderful,
but
I
think
the
lower
hoop
will
definitely
help
with
some
accommodations.
H
You
know
with
different
accommodations
I
mean
the
most
important
thing
is
especially
for
a
young
guy
like
Jace,
who
is
beyond
impressive.
We
had
a
great
conversation
before
we
came
in
here
and
it's
it's
a
situation
where
you
want
kids
who
play
sports
to
come
back.
Yeah
want
them
to
play
again.
So
if
I'm,
if
I
can't
reach
that
10
foot
hoop
at
my
age,
six
or
seven
years
old,
I
get
frustrated,
I,
don't
know
what
the
chances
are
of
me.
H
Coming
back
I'm
a
little
biased,
I've
been
approaching
high
school
basketball
for
30
years.
I
played
High
School
in
college,
and
you
know
your
dad
and
I.
Obviously
we
had
an
All-Star
team
to
travel.
The
city
in
the
90s
and
I
I
have
to
tell
you
having
a
young
kid
at
six
years
old,
because
he's
seven
now
but,
as
Jace
told
me,
he
was
six
when
he
wrote
the
letter,
so
I
had
six
years
old
to
do
that.
To
do
that
is
pretty
cool.
H
So
as
far
as
accommodations
I
mean
the
combination,
combinations
for
people
who
are
handicapped
or
disabled,
absolutely
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
and
then,
as
far
as
the
young
kids
I'm
just
a
bit
just
a
big
fan.
It's
it's
like
it's
any
sport.
It's
literally
little
league
has
t-ball
hockey
has
half
ice.
You
know
football
has
flag.
You
know
basketball
once
again,
being
biased.
Having
these
low
Hoops
is
going
to
keep
kids
coming
back,
it's
going
to
keep
them
engaged
and
put
them
in
a
situation
where
they
won't
get
frustrated.
C
G
Making
sure
young
young
kids
with
disabilities
have
access
equal
access
to
Sports
and
that's
what
really
the
city
is
all
about,
making
sure
everybody
has
an
equal
and
fair
opportunity,
so
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
council
Lara,
but
also
to
the
the
the
wonderful
panel.
That's
here.
Thank
you.
Councilor
thank.
A
I
Lebron
all
right
I,
like
LeBron's
good
guy,
so
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
a
location
on
a
park.
That's
going
to
be
redesigned
I!
Think
this
summer,
Finland
Park
I
know
they
have
a
full
court
and
behind
that
full
court
they
have
another
basketball
hoop,
but
they
have
some
distance
going
this
way
that
could
possibly
be
a
location
for
these
smaller
Hoops.
I
My
nephew
and
I
was
out
there
last
weekend.
It
was
hard
it
took
probably
like
20
30
shots,
but
just
seeing
his
face
light
up,
you
know
once
he
got
that
ball
through
the
hoop
it
and
it
just
started
sinking
after
that.
So
I
understand
the
importance
of
you
know
having
those
small
hoops
and
I
I
have
a
two-month-year-old
son
and
I
want
to
be
able
to
dunk
and
when
he
gets
a
little
bit
older
and
can
remember
it.
So
please
help
me
out.
I
B
D
D
Parents
within
these
neighborhoods
have
an
outlet
to
go
to
for
this
and
I
think
you'll
see
that
fill
up
pretty
quickly
right,
like
I,
also
think
that
they're,
you
know
not
spoken
in
any
of
this-
is
that
children
that
are
six
or
seven
unless
they're,
like
my
parents,
are
not
showing
up
to
these
parks
by
themselves,
they're
showing
up
with
parents
and
one
of
the
things
that
I've
realized
on
a
separate,
completely
unrelated
aspect
of
that
is
like,
for
instance,
with
dog
parks.
There's
a
community.
D
D
When
we
talked
about
like
like
when
we
talk
about
the
M
Street
playground
and
I
ran
like
five
million
dollars
and
I
was
like
you
did.
What
now
yeah
you
signed,
Marcus
Banks
for
what
so
there's
a
there's
a
whole.
That's
an
old
basketball
reference
by
the
way.
It's
not
a
market.
Smart
mistake
yeah,
but
basically,
that
is,
that
is
how
much
it
costs
it
costs
like
millions
of
dollars
for
some
of
these
redos,
and
so
if
we
could
find
places
where
we
could
work
it
in
I
think
that
would
be
excellent
right.
D
D
No
I
knew
that
because
they
they
thought,
like
you,
can
literally
I
I
immediately
thought
that
was
a
bad
idea,
but
like
the
smaller
ones,
is
there
any
difference
because
of
who
it's
guided
to
so,
for
instance,
is
there?
Is
there
a
general
idea
that
the
rules
are
the
same
across
the
board
for
an
adult
basketball
court
and
a
youth
basketball
court?
There's
no
special
sort
of
rules
or
accommodations.
E
D
D
And
then
is
there
a
way?
Perhaps
you
brought
a
half
skate,
maybe
if
we're
dedicating
space
in
this
fashion,
there's
a
way
to
multi-purpose
it
for
a
youth
of
that
age
group.
So,
like
I,
don't
know
if
there's
a
way
to
necessarily
do
that
on
the
same
space,
but
I
remember
when
they
built
the
High
Park
Ave
soccer
field
adjacent
to
it.
They
had
that
smaller
youth
soccer
field.
It
was
very
small
and
then
adults
ended
up
using
it
as
well.
D
But
it
was
like
a
smaller
as
a
smaller
soccer
field
in
size,
with
sort
of
like
the
same
idea.
You
don't
want
children
running
longer
distances
than
they
have
to,
and
so
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
way
to
multi-purpose
it
with
field
hockey
or
something
like
that
for
that
age
group,
but
maybe
different
seasons,
different
different
uses.
I
I
D
E
Yeah
I
mean
I,
think
I
think
that
the
question
of
making
things
is
multiple
purpose
as
possible
is
actually
very
much
part
of
the
heart
of
the
design
and
construction
team
when
they're
out
in
the
community
being
really
honest
with
people
about
like
we
can
do
this
if
we
have
this
amount
of
space,
but
you
know
that
it
is
true
that
sometimes
people
want
like
seven
things
out
of
the
same
space
and
and
there's
sometimes
limitations
in
how
much
we
can
do
this.
But
I
do
think
what
I
I
will
say
is.
E
We
have
talked
about
this
with
the
design
and
construction
team
and
I
think
that
this,
in
addition
to
sort
of
meeting
this
immediate
need
and
figuring
out
how
we
can
lean
in
this
also
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
think
about.
Is
this
something
that
we
could
be
doing
in
more
places
and
and
again
getting
to
the
point
where
we
can
have
some
dedicated
youth
like
spaces?
E
I
think
it's
something
we
can
keep
an
eye
out
for
now
that
we're
thinking
about
it,
maybe
there's
a
way,
there's
a
way
to
add
it
onto
the
side
of
things
or
if
we
have
a
little
extra
space
or
because
we
don't
have
the
same
constraints
in
terms
of
it
being
regulation,
we
could,
we
can
think
outside
the
box.
A
little
I
do
think.
One
thing
I
really
want
to
do
is
really
think
about
this
with
BPS,
because
I
I
really
think
this
actually
can
work.
Yeah.
E
The
kinds
of
spaces
that
they
already
have
they're
not
interested
in
doing
sort
of
maintaining
some
of
the
grass
fields
and
all
of
the
other
pieces
that
we
do
I've
heard,
but
they
and
I'm
not
it's
not
enough
to
BPS,
but
I'm
saying
they.
They
already
have
quite
a
few
asphalt
spaces
in
proximity
to
children
that
that
already,
maybe
with
a
little
paint
and
some
leveling
could
also
meet
a
need.
F
D
Department
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
then
another
Park
that
isn't
yet
on
the
radar
for
redesign.
But
it's
been
talked
about
a
lot
and
I'm
pushing
forward
this
budget
just
to
start
the
planning
not
to
not
to
jump
ahead
of
anything
that
we
have
to
do,
but
just
future
wise
is
rossfield
and
High.
Park
has
not
been
really
it's
a
large
space.
It
has
multiple
baseball
fields,
I've
played
on
them.
They
haven't
changed
since
I've
played
on
them.
There's
been
requests
from
Community
for
like
field
hockey.
D
D
So
if
you
I
I
feel
like
it's
one
of
those
moments
where,
if
you
invest
in
that
Park
you're
investing
in
much
of
that
community
and
that
surrounding
community
in
a
way
that
they
haven't
really
felt
invested
in,
and
so
this
might
be,
I
don't
think
it.
Currently,
it's
been
a
little
bit
since
I've
checked,
but
I
don't
think
they
actually
have
a
basketball
court.
To
my
knowledge,
they
have
like
major
Fields
like
a
lot
of
field
space,
but
I,
don't
know
that
they
have
a
dedicated
basketball
court.
Yeah.
D
No,
and
so
this
is
something
where,
if
we're,
what
I
wanted
to
do
in
this
budget
cycle
is
see.
If
we
can
start
having
somebody
look
at
it
for
designs,
what
we
could
do
there
I've
had
preliminary
conversations
with
the
administration
on
that.
So
stay
posted
on
that,
but
this
might
be
something
where
if
it
works
somewhere
else,
maybe
we
work
it
into
this.
E
Are
we
just?
We
know
that,
there's
a
backlog
on
the
projects
that
we
have,
and
we
have
also
been
having
conversations
with
me,
but
there's
I
think
we're
making
some
progress
on
on
what
we
would
need
to
make
sure
that
more
of
the
parks
that
we're
supposed
to
be
designing
and
moving
along
are
are
moving
faster.
We've.
G
B
Thank
you,
councilor
Arroyo.
Thank
you!
So
much
to
the
administration
for
being
here
with
us,
Jace
I
hope
you
are
excited
about
going
to
try
the
shorter
basketball
hoop
and
tell
us
how
you
like
it,
and
then
we're
going
to
keep
working
to
see
if
we
can
get
one
closer
to
you
and
I'm,
sorry
that
it
took
us
a
a
year
of
your
life
to
get
you
yes,
that
you
said
that
you
said
that
you
sent
this
letter
when
you
were
six
and
now
at
seven
years
old
is
when
you
finally
got
here.
