A
A
A
C
All
right
good
afternoon,
everyone
and
thank
you
for
your
patience.
It
would
seem
that
the
Lord
is
awesome
and
powerful,
but
cannot
create
parking
spaces.
So
so
this
afternoon
we
are
joined
by
pastor
Omar
Jeffrey
Jarvis.
He
is
married
to
the
form
of
Aneta
Angela
Brooks
in
2001,
who
has
been
his
greatest
friend
and
support.
They
work
as
a
team
in
ministry
in
2002,
God,
blessed
them
with
their
first
child
Malaika.
Yes,
Malaika
I
like
the
middle
name,
heaven
Malaika,
heaven
Jarvis
in
2004,
and
they
had
their
second
child
Ileana
serenity.
C
Jarvis,
pastor
Jarvis
has
been
privileged
to
serve
congregations
in
Rhode
Island,
Massachusetts,
Montreal
Canada
and
currently
serves
as
the
pastor
of
the
historic
Berea
seventh-day
Adventist
Church
in
Boston,
and
is
the
area
coordinator
of
New
England
North
pastors
for
those
of
you
unfamiliar
the
seventh-day.
Adventists
is
a
Protestant
Christian
denomination.
C
It
distinguishes
itself
by
its
observance
of
the
Sabbath
on
Saturday
and
its
emphasis
on
the
advent
of
Jesus
Christ
I've
had
the
opportunity
and
the
privilege
and
blessing
to
worship
with
them
many
times,
and
one
of
the
things
I
really
appreciate
about
their
ministry
is
their
commitment
to
academic
excellence
and
scholarship.
I
know
that
councillor
McCarthy
is
aware
that
they
have
a
school
in
Mattapan
that
unfortunately
suffered
an
electrical
fire
in
July
of
2017.
C
D
D
D
Ask
that
today,
as
this
session
will
meet
to
deliberate
many
various
issues,
acts
Lord,
God
that
you
will
grant
them
wisdom,
I
pray
Lord
that
as
they
deliberate
the
concerns
of
this
city,
that
father
God,
that
they
will
remember
your
words,
which
calls
for
righteousness
and
justice
to
roll
like
a
river
I
pray.
Father
God
that,
even
as
they
deliberate
today's
agenda
that
you
will
bless
them
with
wisdom,
I
pray
Lord
that
you
will
lead
them
in
their
discussions
that
you
will
continue
to
guide
them
and
inspire
them.
E
C
Okay
for
I
guess:
wanna
join
us
at
the
Dyess
so
good
afternoon.
Again,
so
May
is
a
Mental
Health,
Awareness
Month,
and
one
of
the
issues
that
I
wanted
to
highlight
for
May
for
Mental
Health,
Awareness
Month,
and
in
the
midst
of
the
ongoing
debate
around
gun,
violence
I'll
just
share
a
little
something
with
you.
If
you
had
not
seen
the
recent
report
in
the
globe
by
nestor
ramos
quote
when
we
talk
about
gun
violence.
C
These
days
we
picture
madmen
on
rampage,
rampages
and
gangs,
doing
drive-bys
we
conjure
images
of
home,
invasions
and
random
robberies
gone
wrong.
We
talk
about
fear,
but
most
who
die
by
gun.
Violence
are
not
killed
by
a
mass
murderer
or
a
violent
gang
and
fear
plays
little
part.
Most
gun
deaths
are
suicide
and
the
person
pulling
the
trigger
is
the
victim.
These
shootings
are
in
random
or
unpredictable
or
terrifying,
quite
the
opposite
to
those
of
us
who
have
loved
someone
who
has
died
by
suicide.
The
loss
feels
frustratingly
and
painfully
preventable.
C
Unquote,
I
mean
it's.
For
this
reason,
you
know
that
I
have
many
other
advocates,
including
moms,
on
demand,
are
supporting
state
legislation,
extreme
risk
protective
order,
the
red
flag
law,
which
creates
a
legal
Avenue
by
which
families
and
law
enforcement
can
take
guns
out
of
the
hands
of
people
who
a
court
deemed
dangerous
to
others
or
more
often
themselves
again.
C
Given
the
public
health
crisis,
an
epidemic
that
is
soo,
I
thought
it
appropriate
during
mental
health
awareness
month
to
have
a
conversation
about
what
we
can
be
doing
to
prevent
suicide
and
how
we
can
better
support
those
impacted
families,
and
so
I
wanted
to
bring
up
Joseph
de
Feaster
Jr.
Who
is
no
stranger
to
this
council,
he's
been
practicing
law
in
the
public
and
private
sectors
for
over
40
years,
during
which
time
he
has
developed
an
expertise
in
numerous
areas
of
the
law,
including
corporate
employment
and
labor,
real
estate
contracts,
licensing,
zoning
and
probate.
C
Joe
Feaster
is
a
prostate
cancer
survivor
since
2002
and
a
strong
advocate
on
mental
illness
and
suicide,
particularly
since
he
lost
his
own
son
to
suicide
in
2010.
He
currently
serves
on
the
advisory
council
of
Samaritans
incorporated
and
as
chairman
of
the
board
of
the
Urban
League
of
eastern
Massachusetts,
as
co-chair
of
my
brother's
keeper
and
as
a
board.
Member
of
the
national
lawyers.
C
Committee
for
civil
rights
under
law
and
I
could
go
on
he's
very
active
in
the
public
health
community
and
he
is
going
to
come
before
us
and
talk
about
the
good
work
of
Samaritans
incorporated,
but
before
mr.
Feaster
comes
up.
I
also
just
wanted
to
invite
Telstra
sabe
George.
If
she
would
like
to
say
something:
okay,
so
obviously
the
councillors
up
here
in
to
endorse
this
and
her
role
as
chair
of
the
Committee
on
mental
health,
homeless,
homelessness
and
recovery.
And
we
thank
her
for
joining
us
in
the
rostrum.
Mr.
Pfister.
F
F
So
I'll
just
be
here
for
about
an
hour,
because
it
looks
pretty
good
from
this
I'm
usually
sitting
out
there,
but
I
want
to
thank
off
obviously
councilor
Pressley
counselor,
counselor
sabe
Jorge,
for
this
opportunity
to
be
before
you
I
have
with
me
the
executive
director
of
Samaritans
Inc,
who
will
say
a
few
words
as
well,
so
I
would
reserve
some
time
for
him.
Madam
president,
I'm
here,
because
I
am
I
find
the
whole
issue
around
mental
health
and
suicide.
This
is
my
ministry.
F
It
I
know
this
chamber
well
because
the
Great
Council
of
flower
tea,
my
son,
worked
for
him,
my
son
passed
in
August
2010
and
those
of
us
who
have
suffered
a
loss.
We
never
forget
to
date.
We
never
forget
the
time,
but
what
I've
decided
to
do
is
not
to
take
that
particular
loss
and
to
be
an
advocate
for
the
issues
of
mental
illness.
F
I'm
an
advocate
I
like
to
agitate
those
of
you
who
know
me
know
I
can
do
that
fairly
well
and
I
want
to
be
able
to
raise
and
educate
folks
on
the
issue
of
mental
illness
and
suicide.
I
serve
with
a
distinguished
and
committed
group
of
folks
on
the
Advisory
Council
of
Samaritans
I
also
sit
on
the
board
of
the
mass
Association
of
mental
health
and
also
on
health
care
for
all
so
I'm
in
it
fully.
F
And
what
we're
here
today
to
want
to
thank
both
councilor,
Pressley
and
councilor
tsunami
George,
is
that
we
want
folks
to
understand-
and
Steve
will
talk
about
this-
that
we
want
to
break
the
silence.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
this
becomes
an
issue
that
infiltrates
itself
into
our
society,
so
that
people
will
recognize
the
mental
illness
is
a
is
an
illness.
The
other
thing
that
I
want
to
talk
about,
and
you
and
Steve
will
talk
about
this
as
well.
We
provide
you
with
some
statistics
and
I
just
want
to
briefly
go
through
them.
F
These
are
2012
2015
statistics,
but
we
had
631
completed
suicides.
We
had
three
thousand
nine
hundred
and
sixty-seven
hospital
discharges
for
self-inflicted
injuries
and
7180
emergency
department.
Visits
for
self
inflicted
the
information
you
have
also
talks
about
it
breaks
down
by
gender
breaks
down
by
race.
F
So
you
see
that
this
is
a
circumstance
which
affects
us
all
at
all
levels
and
the
reality
is
that
what
Samaritan
does
can
protect
a
co-worker
of
yours,
a
family
member
of
yours,
in
preventing
them
so
that
they
have
a
place
to
have
a
dialogue
around
this
and
to
possibly
walk
them
away
from
dying
by
suicide.
So
again,
I.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
this
opportunity
to
be
here.
F
We
need
more
resources
and
support,
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
having
this
opportunity
to
speak
here
at
this
in
this
historic
chamber
is
something
which
I
cherish
greatly
and
if
I
can
Madame
president
like
to
let
Steve
the
executive
director
of
Samaritans
say
a
few
words
as
well.
Thank
you
very
much.
G
Joseph
and
really
isn't
honor
to
be
here,
I'll
just
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background.
What
brought
me
to
Samaritans
I
first
lost
a
friend
to
suicide
in
high
school,
another
friend
in
college
and
I
married
my
college
sweetheart.
Shortly
after
our
wedding,
the
father
of
the
maid
of
honor
took
his
life
by
suicide,
a
man
we
knew
pretty
well
and
then
one
of
our
cousins
I
then
lost
several
co-workers
over
the
years.
G
But
what
hurt
the
most
was
the
loss
of
one
of
my
brother-in-law's,
but
the
loss
of
my
sister
really
changed
the
dynamic
in
in
my
home
dramatically
and
coming
from
one
of
eight
you
know,
I
was
looked
up
to
Kathy's
honor,
for
she
was
one
of
the
earliest
coeds
at
ICI
and
she
was,
you
know,
a
bright
light
to
me
and
we
never
saw
it
coming
when
a
lot
of
years
in
my
family.
Without
really,
we
didn't
deny
what
happened,
but
we
should
certainly
didn't
address
it.
G
Didn't
know
how
to
talk
about
it
and
then
I
found
Samaritans
and
it
really
changed
our
conversation.
It
allowed
my
family
to
open
up
about
what
we
had
experienced.
It
gave
me
the
opportunity
to
share
stories
with
her
seven
grandchildren
who
never
had
the
honor
to
meet
her
so
today
and
we've
done
a
Samaritans
walk
now
for
a
dozen
years
in
a
row,
the
5k,
and
today
those
kids
know
about
this
wonderful
woman.
She
was
not
that
the
dark
secret
that
she
was
grandmother
killed
herself,
so
it
has
really
changed.
G
My
life
I
ended
up
after
discovering
Samaritans
volunteering
and
when
you're
sitting
in
the
crisis
center
at
3:00
in
the
morning-
and
you
get
a
call
from
someone
that
tells
you
basically
they're
calling
to
say
goodbye,
but
an
hour
and
a
half
later,
they
agree
to
watch
the
sunrise
and
talk
to
you
again
tomorrow.
Nothing
is
more
rewarding
than
that.
So
we
do
save
lives
week
in
and
week
out.
Not
every
call
we
get
is
an
emergency
call,
but
every
day
we
get
at
least
one
who's.
G
The
way
members
work
out
cracking
the
code
with
the
city
of
Boston
has
been
a
challenge.
I
served
on
the
board
for
over
eight
years
and
we
do
a
lot
of
community
education
program.
So
we
go
out
into
schools,
work
with
other
groups
and
do
suicide
prevention
workshops
and
despite
the
fact
that
we've
been
doing
them
all
around
the
city,
we
had
never
done
a
workshop
in
a
Boston
Public
School
until
last
year
in
a
little
story
behind
that
is
that
when
mayor
walls
right
after
his
inauguration,
he
attended
a
breakfast
for
hope.
G
G
He
had
to
jump
up
and
share
a
few
words,
and
he
really
made
a
lot
of
connections
between
he's
been
so
open
about
his
own
recovery
and
in
the
kind
of
work
we
do
at
Samaritans
and
then
I
was
able
to
stay
in
touch
with
him
for
several
months.
He
might
say:
I
pestered,
him
I,
just
say:
I
stayed
in
touch
with
him,
but
in
any
way
he
ultimately
talked
to
former
Chief
Arroyo.
We
ended
up
meeting
with
the
Health
and
Human
Services
team.
G
G
We've
been
in
several
different
departments
now
within
Health
and
Human
Services
to
do
those
workshops
and
have
cracked
the
code
and,
as
I
said
finally
gotten
into
the
Boston
Public
Schools
to
last
this
year,
we'll
have
almost
2,000
students
sitting
in
on
some
of
our
workshops,
and
we
know
it's
making
a
difference
because
we
get
texts
coming
in
to
the
crisis
center.
Saying
some
lady
dropped
off
this
wristband,
so
I
was
thinking
about
taking
an
overdose
tonight,
but
instead
I'm
gonna
give
you
guys
a
try.
G
So
we
know
that
at
that
level
we're
really
opening
some
doors,
we're
opening
the
and
creating
the
conversation
for
those
of
you
who
know
andrea
amador,
with
watson,
public
schools,
the
behavioral
health
area,
she's
been
a
godsend
and
she's
really
helping
us
so
we'll
be
infiltrated
in
the
ninth
grade
in
every
high
school,
hopefully
over
the
next
two
sessions
back
to
the
breakfast
for
hope.
Tomorrow
morning,
if
you're
available
from
8:00
to
9:00,
it's
at
the
Westin,
we
can.
G
C
If
everyone,
in
addition
to
the
statistical
information
but
they've
provided
us
with
so
that
you
know,
will
strengthen
our
resolve
to
be
partners
in
suicide
awareness
and
prevention,
if
everyone
would
put
on
their
their
green
bracelet
and
join
us
at
the
podium,
we'll
do
a
photo
and
we
can
share
on
all
of
our
social
media
platforms,
make
sure
people
are
aware
of
your
good
work.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
Thank
you
again,
councilor
Pressley
and
councillor
sabe
Jorge,
and
thank
you
two
good
Samaritans
for
the
work
they
do.
I
have
to
add
and
I.
Don't
often
do
this
sort
of
a
personal
note
if
you're
thinking
about
more
ways
to
get
involved
with
Good
Samaritans,
my
husband
used
to
volunteer
in
the
evenings
overnight
shift
at
Good
Samaritans.
They
have
a
call
center
and
they're.
A
Always
looking
for
volunteers
and
I
know,
this
is
on
TV
and
people
often
watch
I
hope,
hopefully
watch
the
council
meetings,
but
it's
a
way
in
which,
for
folks
to
get
involved
in
an
active
way
to
truly
save
lives,
they
get
calls
on
a
consistent
basis.
The
overnight
shifts
are
sometimes
I
think
hard
to
fill
it's
an
rewarding
work.
It
requires
you
to
show
up,
take
calls
and
to
listen
and
so
I
encourage
folks
to
look
into
that
as
well.
Moving
on
to
the
regular
order
of
business
approval
of
the
minutes.
A
I
Purpose:
do
you
rise
sorry,
bad
sir
C
to
deal
with
the
dark
at
zero:
seven,
zero,
nine
and
just
a
for
everyone's
edification
in
1980
1981,
the
city
acquired
two
parcels
of
land
on
what
is
now
known
as
reservation
road
in
High
Park
from
1999
to
2000,
the
city
developed
a
playground
on
those
parcels
after
the
legislature
approved
the
changes
of
use
from
conservation
to
playground
use
pursuant
to
article
97
the
constitution
of
the
Commonwealth.
However,
the
legislation
only
listed
one
of
the
two
possums
I
believe
clerical
error.
I
So
this
Home
Rule
petition
seeks
to
correct
that
situation
by
obtaining
legislative
approval
for
the
second
parcel,
so
that
the
usage
can
be
changed
from
conservation
used
to
playground
and
given
the
work
that's
already
in
progress,
we're
told
that
it
probably
at
this
point
makes
more
sense
to
suspend
and
pass
so
that
the
legislature
can
do
their
work
for
an
expedited
approval.
And
so,
through
the
chair,
be
moving
for
suspension
rules
and
passes.
But
we'd
like
to
defer
to
our
colleague
a
city
councilor
Tim
McCarthy,
it's
in
his
district.
J
You
very
much
Madam
President.
Thank
you.
I'll
cops
of
Flaherty
for
handing
it
over.
We
had
a
meeting
last
night,
actually
about
reservation
Road.
It's

B
I
You,
madam
president,
we
held
a
working
session
on
Monday
May
7th.
This
matter
was
originally
sponsored
by
our
colleague
city
council,
Jana
Presley.
The
legislation
seeks
to
add,
create
hundred
fifty
three
new
non-transferable
liquor
license
of
the
City
of
Boston
over
three
years
to
various
neighborhoods.
It
should
be
noted
a
similar
proposal
was
filed
last
year
and
also
refiled
this
year
and
with
a
couple
amendments,
including
an
all
alcohol
license
for
the
Bruce
C
bowling
building
in
$150,000
fee
for
umbrella
licenses.
I
At
the
working
session
we
heard
from
Chief
John
Burroughs
in
chill
woman
Christine
bull
Jeannie
on
behalf
of
the
administration,
alongside
with
industry,
reps
and
lawyers,
discussion
of
topics
included
the
allocation
of
umbrella
licenses
based
on
develop
proposals
in
their
size.
The
value
of
licenses,
population
and
business
growth,
staffing
levels
and
also
the
use
of
the
Balor
and
decision,
which
is
a
US
Court
of
Appeals
decision,
as
the
standard
showing
appropriate
need
before
licenses
are
offered
further
colleagues
offered
for
consideration.
I
Other
neighborhoods
that
were
not
initially
included,
such
as
rosin
deal
such
as
the
Greenway
such
as
Charlestown
and
such
as
West
Roxbury.
When
the
council
O'malley
there's
also
a
discussion
of
looking
at
the
proposal
in
two
separate
proposals-
bifurcating
the
Home
Rule
petition
into
a
neighborhood
licenses,
verse
policy
and
practice
for
umbrella
licenses.
So
all
things
considered,
it's
still
a
work
in
progress.
At
this
time
we
recommend
that
stay
in
committee
through
the
chair
recognize
our
colleague,
City
Council,
Ayanna
Presley
for
her
work
to
date,
as
well
as
being
the
lead
sponsor,
Thank.
C
C
We
sensibly
had
a
quorum
at
this
working
session
for
your
participation
on
Monday.
Thank
you
for
your
expressed
and
demonstrate
a
commitment
to
the
intent
behind
this
legislation
to
address
disparities
and
the
two-tiered
food
system
that
has
existed
in
our
city
for
far
too
long,
I'm
grateful
for
the
earnest
debate
and
candid
dialogue
and
the
sharing
of
ideas
and
listening
to
all
stakeholders
from
every
side
of
this
issue,
I'm
grateful.
C
This
has
been
a
collaborative
effort
not
just
with
each
and
every
one
of
you
on
this
body,
but
also
with
our
mayor
and
with
chair
pole,
Jeanie
and
also
with
chief
barrows
and,
of
course,
with
our
State
House
delegation.
I
want
to
thank
the
councillors,
who
advocated
for
their
neighborhoods
to
be
opted
in
Thank,
You,
councillor,
McCarthy,
O'malley
and
Edwards
for
stepping
up,
respectively
for
Roslindale,
West,
Roxbury
and
Charlestown.
We
have
all
seen
the
transformational
power
of
sit-down
restaurants,
neighbourhoods.
C
I
know
this
legislation
can
lay
out
a
new
foundation
for
a
more
equitable
licensing
system
and
the
controlled
growth
of
more
restaurants.
I,
look
forward
to
working
with
the
Chairman
on
specific
edits,
including
many
that
were
offered
by
our
colleagues,
keep
in
mind
the
longer
we
wait
as
a
body.
Our
small
business
owners
are
being
kept
in
limbo
and
forced
to
guess
at
the
availability
and
the
viability
of
certain
locations
in
neighborhoods.
C
E
You
thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
want
to
be
voice
briefly,
the
same
thing
that
I
said
at
the
working
sessions-
and
this
is
to
to
my
district
city,
councilor
colleagues-
that
these
umbrella
license
is,
in
my
opinion,
cut-offs
right
out,
cut
us
right
out
of
the
negotiation
with
these
large
developments.
I
know
any
development
coming
in
front
of
my
idea
coming
in
front
of
in
my
district
I'm
gonna
want
them
sitting
with
me
more
often
than
less
often.
Why
would
we?
Why
would
we
give
away
something
that
we
created
a
pathway
to?
E
Why
would
we
give
it
away
to
now
have
whoever
the
administrator
is?
That's
going
to
be
dealing
with
these
large
large
developments
now
saying
we're
gonna
get
you
liquor
licenses,
it's
it's.
We
should
be
looking
to
get
more
power,
not
give
power
away.
So
thank
you
so
so
I
would
want
to
advocate
to
again
by
furyk
a
these
these.
E
These
liquor
licenses
I
think
the
the
umbrella
licenses
should
be
handled
separately.
If
we're
talking
about
equity
and
the
neighborhoods
that
need
let's
go
after
the
equity
piece.
Let's
go
after
the
neighborhoods.
Let's
take
care
of
the
neighborhoods
someone
coming
in
a
million
square
feet
of
development:
I,
don't
think
that
they're
hurting
for
anything.
They
should
at
least
have
to
come
in
front
of
us
and
ask
us
what
we
think
about
their
developments.
What
we
think
should
be
going
in
their
development.
So
thank
you,
president.
K
You
madam
chair
first
I,
would
just
like
to
say
thank
you
to
chairman
Flaherty
for
the
working
session.
Very
robust
discussion,
I
think
very
helpful
as
we
move
this
forward.
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
councilor
Pressley
for
her
work
and
her
leadership
on
this
issue.
As
councillor
Baker
just
stated,
this
is
an
issue
of
equity,
while
I
think
there
are
some
things
that
could
be
improved.
K
You
know
and
happy
to
work
with
all
of
my
colleagues
to
make
sure
that
we
get
revised
language
I
want
to
echo
the
sense
of
urgency
on
this
matter,
particularly
as
the
chair
of
the
Small
Business
Committee.
This
is
very
important
for
our
commercial
districts
to
have
restaurants
that
offer
full
liquor
licenses
as
well
as
wine
and
beer,
so
that
they
can
become
viable
options
and
help
to
anchor
our
commercial
district.
So
just
want
to
echo
the
the
need
to
move
quickly
through
this
and
still
be
thoughtful.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
L
So
how
are
we
still
maintaining
equity
again?
The
biggest
concern
I
have
about
Suffolk
Downs.
Is
that
it's
going
to
become
another
seaport
unless
we
are
intentional
about
how
we
allow
development
to
happen
there,
and
so
we
need
to
be
intentional
about
the
equity
that
we
allow
there
and
if
we
all
allow
unlimited
liquor
licenses
in
one
section
of
just
East
Boston,
while
the
rest
is
competing
for
five
I,
think
we
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
fully
balanced
and
how
we're
going
to
allow
for
development.
L
That
being
said,
I
think
this
at
the
time
is
now
and
I
do
think
that
time
is
of
the
essence.
We
do
need
to
get
this
back
to
the
Statehouse
and
in
a
and
Anna
means,
or
in
a
way
that
is
satisfactory
to
all
of
us
and
I.
Don't
want
perfection
to
be
the
enemy
of
progress.
We
need
this.
I
do
want
to
I
want
to
know,
and
maybe
someone
can
educate
me
after
this
hearing
is
bifurcation
the
only
way
to
deal
with
the
Umbrella
licenses.
L
Is
there
a
delay
clause
that
we
could
put
in
there
so
that
the
equity
can
move
right
away
and
that
when
we
are
dealing
with
a
bifurcation,
it's
two
to
three
years
after
we've
enacted
this
as
well?
So
I
wanted
to
put
that
out
there.
That's
possibly
another
option
to
allow
for
equity
to
take
off
and
then
for
us
to
deal
with
the
issue
of
umbrella.
License
is
still
allowing
them,
but
also
saying
we
need
their
they're
not
going
to
hit
the
same
time
as
the
as
the
neighborhood
licenses.
L
A
I
You,
madam
president,
the
Committee
held
a
hearing
yesterday
on
docket
0
6
2
3
Mattawa,
sponsored
by
a
colleague,
city
council,
Frank,
Baker
and
referred
to
committee
back
when
April
25th
for
background
reference
under
the
current
law.
The
maximum
age
requirement
for
police
officers
for
original
appointment
is
40
years
of
age.
On
the
date
of
the
examination
the
entrance
exam,
the
maximum
age
has
been
adjusted
several
times
in
the
past,
most
recently,
I
believe
it
was
in
2007.
Mr.
I
Hugh
no
is
required
to
meet
all
qualifications
in
order
to
become
a
police
officer,
including
passing
the
exam
physical
capabilities
and
successful
completion
of
the
Academy.
There
is
also
precedent
on
the
Boston
City
Council
to
consider
such
a
waiver
back
in
December
2013,
a
homo
petition
was
passed
by
the
Boston
City
Council
and
similar
naina.
We
had
interviewed
mr.
you
know.
Yesterday
he
was
actually
in
the
Academy
I
think
he
was
about
five
or
six
weeks
in
to
the
Academy,
so
he
passed
the
entrance
exam.
He
passed
the
recruit
investigation.
He
passed
the
background
check.
I
He
passed
the
physical
fitness
test.
He
passed
the
drug
test,
any
passed,
the
psychological
test
into
the
Academy
and
was
in
the
Academy
when
I
had
to
guess.
What's
the
appropriate
word
enough,
it
was
resigned,
I
guess,
drop,
well,
withdraw
for
family
reasons
and
then
of
course,
his
birthday
in
it.
So
he
was
asking
yesterday
if
we
could
consider
this
matter,
so
I'll
defer
it
through
the
Chia
to
the
lead,
sponsor
and
anyone
else
that
would
like
to
speak,
but
moving
that
moving
for
passage
of
darken
zero.
E
You,
madam
president,
Council
flowery,
summed
it
up
quite
well,
just
a
little
more.
On
top
of
that,
you
is
from
fields,
corner
Dorchester,
guy
born
and
grow
bps
bps
graduate.
He
has
a
degree
in
engineering
and
and
a
degree
in
criminal
justice,
and
he
also
is
Vietnamese
since
and
it's
law
in
Vietnamese,
where
we
know
we
don't
have
an
I
mean
Vietnamese
officers
and
and
I
think
who
we
would
add,
value
to
the
city
of
Boston.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
E
A
You
councillor,
Baker
and
I'll
just
add,
counsel,
Baker
and
I
split
fields
corner
and
he
lives
in
in
District.
Four
and
I
was
at
the
hearing
an
echo,
the
the
sentiment
that
he
is
fully
qualified,
and
this
is
sort
of
a
technical
issue,
but
adding
that
he
does
speak
Vietnamese
and
we
know
that
we're
talking
about
increasing
diversity
when
it
comes
to
BPD.
We
need
to
do
a
lot
better,
specifically
when
it
comes
to
Asian
officers,
so
Thank
You
councillor
Flaherty,
for
having
a
hearing
on
this
and
Thank
You
councillor
Baker
for
filing
it.
A
At
this
time.
Councillor,
clarity,
chair
of
the
Committee
on
government
operations,
recommends
substance
of
the
committee
report
and
passage
of
docket
zero.
Six,
two
three,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
duck
in
zero.
Six
two
three
has
been
passed:
moving
on
to
motions
orders
and
resolutions,
docket.
L
We
have
essentially
spot
zoning
with
variances
being
the
rule
of
the
day,
instead
of
the
actual
master
plan
and
the
zoning
ordinances
that
we
passed
as
a
community.
So
today,
I'm
asking
for
us
to
engage
in
that
conversation
again
and
either
do
a
master
plan
or
a
rezoning
initiative
that
we've
seen
in
South
Boston
to
make
sure
that
the
residents
of
East
Boston
are
at
the
helm,
and/or
driving
this
bus
instead
of
being
driven
by
it.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
that
plan
is
comprehensive
and
includes
traffic
parking.
L
It
includes
resiliency
and
it
also
includes
Suffolk
Downs
again,
it's
a
now
over
a
hundred
acres
of
nothing,
but
ultimately
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
dealing
with
this
as
part
of
a
cohesive
vision
and
plan
that
is
led
by
the
residents
of
East
Boston.
Not
only
are
we
going
to
try
and
have
this
master
plan,
but
we
certainly
are
going
to
have
this
hearing.
L
Thank
you,
councillor,
whoo
in
East
Boston,
and
so
that
folks
will
come
out
and
we'll
make
sure
that
we
say
to
the
invited
guests
of
BTD
of
the
BPD
a
that
this
is
our
vision.
This
is
our
shared
excitement
for
development
and
I
want
to
make
this
very
clear.
This
plan
is
not
a
plan
of
no.
This
is
not
a
plan
of
trying
to
prevent
something.
This
is
a
plan
where
weak
envisioned
a
future
that
we
can
all
live
with
and
also
set
limits
that
we
can
all
live
with
so
I'm.
I
Guess
the
density
and
increase
parking
requirements
per
projects
and
also
to
relieve
the
congestion
in
the
neighborhood
streets,
but
also
the
tool
that
we
had
used,
which
because
of
my
tenure
here,
because
I
knew
having
the
experience
on
this
body.
Knowing
that
the
interim
iPod
overlays
played
a
huge
dividend,
we
were
able
to
introduce
the
interim
iPod
overlay
as
a
way
just
to
kind
of
calm
things
down
a
little
bit
so
through
this
year.
I
Making
our
freight
suggesting
to
our
colleague
that
as
they're
thinking
about
the
master
plan
for
East
Boston
as
they're
thinking
about
possibly
rezoning
East
Boston,
that
they
may
also
think
about
injecting
an
interim
iPod
oval
egg
is
an
effort
to
again
control.
The
density
increase
no
parking
on
the
projects,
which
obviously
also
helps
control
the
density
and
and
try
to
protect
the
quality
of
life
over
in
East
Boston.
So
please
add
my
name.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
M
You,
madam
president,
I
just
wanted
to
rise
and
commend
the
maker
and
ask
that
my
name
be
added.
East
boston
truly
is
sort
of
a
confluence
of
all
of
the
big
issues
at
the
cities
grappling
with
climate
change
and
housing
and
Economic
Development,
and
really
what
the
vision
will
be
for
the
type
of
city
that
we're
building
so
I
want
to
applaud
councillor
Edwards,
because
the
the
work
that
she's
going
to
lead
here
is
really
going
to
have,
impacts
and
set
precedents
for
neighborhoods
across
the
city
and
and
really
beyond
Boston.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
You
councillor
Wu
at
this
time.
Madam
clerk,
if
you
could
add
councillor
flirty
councillor,
woo
councillor,
asabi,
George,
councillor,
Janey,
council,
McCarthy,
councilor,
Pressley
councillors,
a
come
councillor
Flynn
as
well
as
the
chair
and
I
will
just
add.
I
want
also
think
councillor
Edwards
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
know
that
several
colleagues
have
had
visiting
visioning
sessions
around
development
in
certain
neighborhoods.
But
how
do
we
actually
put
something?
That's
more
formalistic
in
place
where
it
can
be
community
driven,
so
Thank
You
councillor
Edwards
for
bringing
it
forward.
A
N
Boston
is
certainly
unique
when
it
comes
to
our
wealth
of
colleges,
hospitals
and
art
institutions
and
all
of
those
institutions
are
very
unique
and
the
amount
of
wealth
they've
accumulated
over
time
they
own
acres
of
our
most
valuable
land
and
continue
to
buy
properties,
taking
them
out
of
our
tax
base
and
leaving
taxpayers
to
make
up
for
that
loss.
Many
of
our
tax-exempt
institutions
enjoy
enormous
and
down
run
billion-dollar,
kept
capital
campaigns
and
build
larger
luxury,
dorms
and
top-of-the-line
athletic
facilities.
Many
have
expanded
their
campuses
to
other
cities
and
invested
funds
in
offshore
accounts.
N
Money
doesn't
seem
to
run
in
short
supply
at
our
tax-exempt
institutions,
except
for
some.
When
it
comes
to
the
city,
they
proudly
call
home
the
vibrant
city
that
attracts
visitors
to
their
exhibits
and
students
to
their
classrooms,
but
also
the
city
that
has
Public
Schools,
running
bake
sales
and
online
fund
me
campaigns
to
buy
supplies
or
keep
an
arts
program.
The
city
where
students
experiencing
unprecedented
levels
of
stress,
asthma
and
allergies
are
all
too
often
find
there
is
no
nurse
or
psychologist
available
at
their
school.
N
The
city
with
the
majority
of
students,
with
learning
challenges
and
learning
English
as
a
second
language,
but
without
enough
funds
for
libraries
or
librarians
in
many
schools.
The
city,
where
some
schools
have
no
playing
fields
and
must
pay
colleges
to
use
theirs,
even
though
the
city
has
given
so
many
fields
to
our
colleges,
many
institutions
that
the
programs
they
offer
make
up.
Many
of
the
institutions
say
that
the
programs
they
offer
make
up
for
the
pilot
payments.
N
Yes,
those
programs
are
indeed
valuable,
but
the
city
plows
the
roads
for
their
tens
of
thousands
of
employees
to
get
to
work
and
their
delivery
vehicles
and
their
buses,
and
that
costs
us
money.
The
city
protects
their
buildings
from
fire,
their
streets
from
crime
that
costs
money
and
the
city
educates
already
workforce
for
their
institutions
to
thrive.
Yet
many
of
our
residents
can
access
those
jobs
and
one
look
at
their
income
statement
shows
that
they
have
indeed
thrived.
N
N
L
First
I
wanted
to
thank
my
colleague,
councillor
asabi
George,
for
partnering
with
me
on
this
initiative
and
what
I
think
is
going
to
be
a
robust
discussion
about
people
are
institutions
to
filling
their
promises
to
the
City
of
Boston.
As
you
know,
and
as
my
colleague
stated,
70%
of
our
revenue
is
coming
from
property
taxes
which
I
pay
regularly
of
which
all
of
us
pay
here,
and
it
is
concerning
to
me
that
institutions
that
teach
ethics
that
teach
accounting
that
teach
math
that
teach
these
basic
things
and
also
hopefully
character.
L
These
large
wonderful
institutions
managed
to
just
forget
the
promises
that
they
made.
The
city
of
Boston,
that's
not
lost
on
me.
What's
not
lost
on
me
as
well
is
the
fact
that
this
body
is
also
working
and
trying
to
help
low-income
seniors
come
up
with
a
payment
plan
who
want
to
actually
do
right
by
the
city
of
Boston
and
we're
trying
to
alleviate
that
burden
on
their
shoulders
and
they're
coming
to
the
table
and
we're
gonna
come
up
with
that
solution.
I
firmly
believe
that,
but
here
we
weren't,
we
worked
with
these
institutions
in
2011.
L
We
came
up
with
a
number
25
percent
of
their
taxable
income,
their
taxable
income
on
their
property.
They
agreed
to
that
and
walked
away
now.
Yes,
there
are
some
institutions
that
are
paying
more
than,
and
they
often
pat
themselves
on
the
back
on
the
back
and
they're,
paying
seventy
five
percent
of
a
hundred
percent
of
what
is
what
we're
asking
for
I
think
according
to
their
standards
and
ours,
that's
a
c-plus
I'd
like
to
get
them
to
an
A
and
I
like
them
to
do
right
by
the
City
of
Boston.
L
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
when
we
talk
about
institutions,
I
just
don't
want
academic
institutions
institutions
to
be
at
the
table.
There
are
also
cultural
and
medical
institutions
that
also
play
a
huge
role
in
displacement
and
ownership
of
huge
swathes
of
our
land,
and,
yes,
they
do
provide
benefits.
There
are
still
another
level
of
institutions
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
fully
transparent
about
Massport,
for
example,
does
pay
pilot
payments
to
the
city
of
Boston.
For
those
who
don't
know,
we
are
in
the
middle
of
renegotiating
that
agreement
with
massport.
L
That's
something
that
we
need
to
be
at
the
table
at
and
need
to
be
aware
of
not
only
that
I
openly
and
I'm,
proud
to
say,
I'm
happy
to
put
it
out
there.
There
is
also
a
quasi
government
entity
that
develops
regularly
and
has
a
profit
from
that
development.
It
exists
because
of
its
development.
That's
the
BPD,
a
and
I'd
love
for
the
city
to
engage
in
possible
negotiations
with
them
about
any
potential
pilot
payments
they
can
make
to
us.
L
I
The
president
on
pilot
reform
and
we
actually
created
a
standalone
committee
special
committee
on
pilot
reform,
which
which
paid
tremendous
dividends
for
us
city,
clerk
and
former
city
council
Maureen
Feeney
participated,
as
did
former
colleague,
City
Council,
Steve
Murphy,
and
as
a
result
of
which
the
net
gain
for
us
City
was
great.
So
that
was
flour
tea
round.
One
looks
like
we're
getting
a
head-fake
now
from
the
institution,
so
through
the
chair,
happy
to
happy
to
work
with
you
on
may
be
reinstituting
that
special
committee
on
pilot
reform,
I'm
happy
to
chair
it.
I
I
Universities
was
a
staggering
statistic:
configured
trash
collection,
staggering
street
cleaning
snowplow,
so
the
municipal
services
that
we
provide
these
institutions
pales
in
comparison
to
what
we're
getting
a
great
granted
there
we
boast
of
the
best
institutions,
probably
in
the
world,
there's
some
of
our
largest
employers.
People
come
all
around
the
world
education
here
to
get
health
care
here
so
they're
great
partners,
but
they
continue
to
take
taxable
property
off
of
the
tax
rolls,
and
with
that
you
know
we
pay
it's
a
it's
an
unsustainable
situation.
I
When
we
now
have
more
tax-exempt
property
in
Boston
than
taxable
when
I
joined
the
council,
it
was
just
about
even
just
about
around
there,
so
I
think
the
pendulum
is
kind
of
swung.
Where
I
believe.
Now
we
have
more
tax-exempt
property
than
tackle
at
that
ten.
Can
that
trend
continues?
It's
just
not
sustainable.
It's
not
how
you'd
run
your
household
budgets
on
how
you'd
try
to
educate
your
kids,
it's
not
how
we
would
run.
I
A
You
counsel,
Flaherty,
and
thank
you
also
for
the
football
analogy
it
brought
some
laughter
up
here.
I
will
just
add
before
I.
Add
folks
to
this
I
think
something
that
came
up
in
and
budget
conversations.
The
past
two
cycles
and
by
several
colleagues,
including
some
who
are
no
longer
here,
is
the
voluntary
nature
of
pilot
programs
and
whether
or
not
we
should
be
having
a
conversation
about
expanding
the
avenues
or
potential
resource
pools
for
taxes.
A
Obviously
these
are
conversations,
but
when
it
comes
to
the
state
and
interacting
with
the
state,
but
I
would
love
to
make
that
a
part
of
your
hearing,
because
I
think
it
all
goes
hand
in
hand.
So
thank
you
both
for
bringing
this
forward
at
this
time.
Madam
clerk,
if
you
could
add
councillor
Flaherty
councillor,
Baker
councillors,
Flynn
councillor
Janey,
councillor,
McCarthy
counts
of
O'malley,
councilor,
Pressley,
councillor,
rule
councillors
a
come
as
well
as
the
chair,
docket
0,
7,
2
1
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
ways
and
means.
J
You
very
much
I,
madam
chair
I,
want
to
thank
councillor
Eadie
Flynn
for
joining
me
in
this
endeavor.
The
South
Boston
waterfront
is
not
the
same
as
it
was
50
years
ago.
It's
not
the
same
as
it
was
20
years
ago
or
even
10
years
ago.
In
fact,
in
ten
years
ago
the
city
of
Boston
collected
about
16
million
dollars
in
taxes
from
the
South
Boston
waterfront
and
FY
16.
It
collected
one
hundred
point:
eight
million
dollars
in
taxes
from
the
South
Boston
waterfront.

This
is
not
what
this
would
do
is
not
take
away
any
authority
from
the
state
troopers
by
any
stretch
of
imagination,
but
it
gives
the
Boston
Police
Department
our
Boston
Police
I
mean
authority
as
the
troopers
do
in
that
area.
This
hearing
is
really
simple.
In
my
opinion,
this
hearing
is
meant
to
explain
to
the
council
and
the
citizens
of
Boston.
Why
concurrent
jurisdiction
is
an
issue
and
not
a
solution?
O
That
resolution
was
related
to
a
House
of
Representative
budget
amendment
filed
at
the
state
level
by
Pharma
rep
Nick
Collins,
the
Boston
City
Council
went
on
record
in
support
of
rep
Collins's
amendment
for
concurrent
jurisdiction
in
equal
access
to
police
services
for
all
areas
of
Boston,
Council,
McCarthy
and
I
are
proposing
a
hearing
on
discussing
shid
enforcement
jurisdiction
between
the
Boston
Police
and
State
Police.
This
proposal
would
not
take
away
the
authority
of
the
State
Police.
It
seeks
to
provide
the
Boston
Police
the
same
police
jurisdiction
as
State
Police
in
the
city
of
Boston.
O
This
hearing
is
all
about
Public
Safety
in
providing
equal
access
to
services
from
the
Boston
Police
Department
for
all
of
our
residents,
including
our
neighbors
on
the
South
Boston
waterfront.
We
want
what
is
in
the
best
interest
of
community
members
and
business
owners
as
well.
We
are
merely
seeking
concurrent
jurisdiction
for
enforcement,
just
as
we
currently
have
for
state
roads,
the
MBTA
and
DCI
property
I
want
to
thank
Council,
McCarthy
and
council
Flowery
as
well.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
I
L
L
We
have
a
huge
amount
of
our
neighborhood
that
has
this
issue
of
the
dual
jurisdiction
and,
talking
to
at
a
recent
neighborhood
association
meeting,
the
local
police
specifically
mentioned
that
this
is
something
that
is,
they
find
frustrating
one
because
they're
the
ones
that
the
evening
meetings
they're
the
ones
coming
to
the
community,
that
they're
ones
forming
the
bonds
and
then
they're
the
ones
who
are
held
accountable
and
yelled
at
if
people
don't
feel
safe.
So
the
faculty
matter
is
no
one
really
cares
which
uniform
shows
up
to
protect
them.
L
H
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
asked
I
want
to
thank
the
the
makers
and
accounts
of
clarity
and
Flint
for
bringing
this
issue
up
before
this
has
been
ongoing
year
after
year.
Commissioner
Evans
comes
here
and
talked
to
us
and
I.
Don't
know
councillor
flatty,
you
might
know
better
how
many
times
we've
sent
a
home
rule
petition
up
or
sent
a
resolution
up
in
support
of
this.
It's
just
ridiculous.
It's
I
think
an
embarrassing
position
for
the
State
Police
to
take
on
this
issue
and
for
our
state
government.
I
know
now.
H
Senator
Collins
has
been
working
hard
on
this,
but
we
need
all
of
our
Boston
delegation
I
think
to
be
standing
up
on
this
and
to
be
talking
their
colleagues
in
the
legislature
with
the
governor's
office,
because
this
someone's
gonna
get
hurt.
You
know
this
is
an
issue
of
Public
Safety.
We
have
a
Boston
Police
Department
that
is
world-renowned
for
their
community
policing.
H
This
is
just
an
unacceptable
situation
and
I
hope
we're
not
here
again
in
six
months
or
12
months
or
two
years,
because
there's
been
a
tragedy
because
we
haven't
resolved
this
ridiculous
shoo
and
dispute.
So
I
is
that
my
name
I
fully
support
this
and
would
certainly
support
a
homo
petition,
any
other
legislation
that
would
address
this
issue.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
councillor
Zakim,
madam
clerk,
if
you
could
add
a
councilors
Aikens
name
as
well
as
councillor
Edwards
as
well
as
councillor
Baker
calen,
Schwabe,
George,
Council,
Malley,
councilor,
Pressley,
council
whoo,
as
well
as
a
chair.
I,
will
add
my
voice
to
this.
As
the
previous
chair
of
the
Committee
on
Public
Safety
and
criminal
justice,
this
was
an
issue
that
came
up
often
and
I
agree
with
councillors
a
commits
quite
ridiculous.
A
A
A
Janey
seeks
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
docket,
seven,
two,
four,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
duck
at
zero.
Seven
two
four
has
been
passed.
Moving
on
too
late
files,
I
am
informed
by
the
clerk
that
there
is
one
late
file
which,
in
the
absence
of
objection,
will
be
added
to
the
agenda
hearing
and
seeing
the
objection.
A
No
will
be
added
to
the
so
at
this
time,
because
we
have
one
objection
by
councillor.
Baker,
the
late
file
matter
will
not
be
added
to
this
agenda
and
moving
on
now
to
the
green
sheets.
Anyone
wishing
to
remove
a
matter
from
the
green
sheets.
They
do
so
now.
Okay,
seeing
that
no
one
would
like
to
move
anything
moving
right
along
I'm,
informed
by
the
clerk
that
we
have
four
late
file
matters
to
be
added
to
the
consent
agenda.
A
In
the
absence
of
objections,
the
in
the
absence
of
objection,
those
four
late
file
matters
will
be
added
to
the
consent
agenda
hearing
and
seeing
no
objection.
The
four
late
file
matters
will
be
added
to
the
consent
agenda.
At
this
time.
The
chair
moves
for
adoption
of
the
consent
agenda.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it.
The
consent
agenda
has
been
adopted
at
this
time.
I
would
like
all
of
my
colleagues,
staff
and
guests
to
please
rise
as
we
oh
I
apologize
just
a
moment.
I
apologize,
councilor
Pressley.
C
Collaborative
reasoning
with
the
Boston
Public
Health
Commission
we'll
be
going
over
the
data
from
the
2016-2017
annual
healthy
Boston
report,
which
will
highlight
a
lot
of
the
trends
and
the
disparities,
including
issues
like
suicide
and
other
things.
So
you
certainly
can
get
access
to
the
report
on
your
own,
but
I
find
that
the
presentation
is
one
that
is
very
informative
and
allows
you
to.
You
know
have
that
back
and
forth.
C
So
I
hope
you'll
join
us
we'll
be
right
here,
actually
we'll
be
in
the
council
chamber,
because
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
can
get
this
information
on
the
record
and
that
it
could
be
live
stream.
So
we'll
be
right
here
in
the
council-chamber,
from
2:00
to
3:00,
for
that
healthy
Boston
annual
report
in
partnership
with
the
Boston
Public
Health
Commission.
I,
also
wanted
to
remind
you,
since
today
is
school
nurses,
Appreciation
Day
and
invite
you
to
my
annual
luncheon
on
Friday.
C
You
should
have
it
in
your
inboxes
to
support
and
to
celebrate
and
to
recognize
the
contribution
of
our
school
nurses.
It
also
affords
us
the
opportunity
to
talk
with
them
about
what
they
are
seeing
and
experiencing
on
the
front
lines
and
then,
finally,
just
because
I'm
gonna
filibuster
reminder
that
the
Mother's
Day
annual
Walk
for
Peace
was
wonderful
to
have
chaplain
sherry
in
here
last
Wednesday.
Is
this
Sunday?
C
If
you
have
not
already
made
a
contribution
councillor
Campbell
last
year,
I
know
convened
a
briefing
for
all
the
counselors
to
better
unpack
and
to
explain
the
work.
The
incredible
work
that
that
goes
on
here
to
support
surviving
family
members
of
loved
ones,
lost
to
gun,
violence
and
so
I
hope
to
see
all
of
you
Sunday
for
the
kickoff
at
8
a.m.
in
town
field
in
fields
corner
in
Dorchester
and
I
hope,
you'll,
consider,
making
a
contribution
and
happy
Mother's
Day
to
all
the
moms.
Thank.
K
K
Thank
you
for
the
reminder
of
the
the
Mother's
Day
peace
walk
as
people
across
our
city
have
been
reading
in
the
news
about
a
young
victim
who
was
shot
and
killed
last
Friday.
He
was
set
to
graduate
next
week.
May
19th
he's
someone's
son,
but
so
are
I
think
he
was
a
17th
homicide
victim,
but
so
are
all
the
other
16
victims
that
preceded
him.
K
They
are
also
someone's
child
someone's
brother,
someone's
father,
someone's
sister
someone's
mom,
but
there
was
a
stabbing
last
night,
so
just
ask
that
we
continue
to
lift
these
families
in
prayer
and
that
we
continue
to
work
to
make
sure
that
our
city
is
safer,
more
equitable
for
all
of
our
residents
and
then
in
closing
many
of
you
I
know.
All
of
you
know,
and
many
of
you
attended
the
prayer
service
for
former
city
councilor
Felix
Arroyo,
who
is
currently
the
probate
register.
K
E
To
make
a
statement
regarding
memoriam
so
a
week
and
a
half
ago,
I
allowed
my
son
to
go
off
the
street
for
the
first
time
on
his
bike
with
to
another
nephew
of
mine
and
actually
counsel
George's
son
and
the
reason
why
I
say
that
is
because
the
the
person
who
I'm
gonna
talk
about
was
the
first
person.
I
went
off
my
street
with
on
my
bike.
He
was
52
years
old
spent
the
last
25
years
in
and
out
of
detox
and
homeless
shelters.

Kevin
Karin
and
Jane
Donovan.
At
this
time,
I
asked
for
a
moment
of
silence.
A
Thank
you
at
this
time.
The
chair
moves
that
when
the
council
adjourns
today

does
so
in
memory
of
those
aforementioned
individuals.
We
are
scheduled

meet
back

this
chamber

Boston
City
Hall
on
Wednesday
May
16th
at
noon,
all
those
in

a
German,

opposed,

it.
The
