A
A
B
Good
afternoon
and
thanks
so
much
for
inviting
us,
my
name
is
arthur
jamieson,
I'm
the
director
of
the
boston
planning
and
development
agency,
I'm
also
the
chief
of
planning,
I'm
thrilled
to
be
here
with
you
to
provide
testimony
consistent
with
the
process,
I'm
starting
my
second
week
in
the
job.
So
I'm
just
getting
to
know
the
leaders
that
are
here
next
to
me
for
and
getting
a
sense
of
the
way
that
bpda
works
in
the
in
the
in
the
current
manifestation
of
the
agency.
B
As
a
former
staffer
of
this
agency
back
in
the
late
90s
and
early
2000s,
I'm
I'm
going
to
be
here
to
to
provide
and
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
about
direction
and
perspective,
but
because
this
is
a
budget
hearing
with
with
a
specific
prescribed
scope,
I'm
going
to
allow
michelle
our
director,
finance
and
chief
procurement
officer
to
weed
off
with
an
introduction
in
the
background
appropriate
I
do
want.
I
did
think
you
introduced
all
the
colleagues
I
have
up
here.
C
There
you
go.
Thank
you
chief.
My
name
is
michelle
goldberg
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
fernandez,
anderson
and
members
of
the
council.
I
am
the
director
of
finance
and
chief
procurement
officer
for
the
boston
planning
and
development
agency
as
an
independent,
self-sustaining
organization,
the
bpda
is
made
up
of
five
business
units
that
interact
through
what
is
referred
to
as
related
party
transactions.
C
The
units
are
composed
of
three
major
entities:
the
boston
redevelopment
authority
or
bra
the
economic
development,
industrial
corporation
or
edic,
which
includes
the
mayor's
office
of
workforce
development
or
owd,
and
the
boston,
industrial
development,
finance
authority
or
bitfa.
There
are
two
minor
entities
which
are
associated
with
501c3
nonprofits,
the
boston,
local
development,
corporation
or
bldc,
and
friends
of
youth,
opportunity,
boston
or
fyob.
C
Although
our
fy
23
budget
won't
be
final
and
approved
until
our
direct
board
of
directors
meet
on
july
on
june
16,
we
can
discuss
fy22
and
we
provided
our
third
quarter
update
in
the
questionnaire
responses,
and
with
that
I
can
hop
into
bpda's
sources
and
uses
bpda
operating
revenue
is
derived
from
several
categories.
First,
rental
leases
and
parking.
This
revenue
represents
all
ground
lease,
tenant
leases
and
parking
fees
associated
with
bpda
owned
properties.
C
C
The
slide
here
shows
our
equity
participation
revenue,
which
has
internal
restrictions
that
support
specific
bra
activities.
Grants
and
donations
include
both
owd
funds
and
a
reflection
of
the
subsidies
that
edic
sends
to
the
bra.
Our
smallest
category
is
any
late
fees
or
interest.
We
need
to
reflect
for
our
holdings
moving
into
our
expense
budget
categories
for
fy,
22
personnel
and
benefits
represents
the
largest
category
of
our
expenses
for
the
vpda.
C
It
is
important
to
note
that
the
costs
related
to
operating
owd's
community-based
organizations
are
accounted
for
in
contractual
services.
Adding
personnel
in
cbo
expenses
together
would
account
for
about
60
percent
of
bpda
expenses,
so
the
green,
dark,
blue
and
teal
sections
of
that
pie
chart
up
there.
C
The
next
category
is
general
administrative
expenses
and
the
contractual
services
group.
Contractual
services
includes
externally
funded
pass-through
grants
for
the
community-based
organizations,
as
well
as
planning
studies
and
the
inter-company
grant
from
bra
to
edic
property
management
on
this
next
slide
here
is
where
we
are
starting
to
see
more
expenses.
Our
assets
are
rapidly
deteriorating,
and
in
this
category
we
attempt
to
fund
large
repairs
that
do
not
qualify
to
be
capitalized
happy
to
get
into
that.
More
later.
C
If
folks,
like,
we
anticipate
this
trend
to
continue
as
more
of
our
construction
projects
will
focus
on
maintaining
our
assets.
Most
folks
know
us
for
the
development
activity
that
runs
through
our
agency.
The
bpda
finance
staff
are
also
responsible
for
the
fiduciary
management
of
funds
that
do
not
go
towards
bpda
expenses.
C
C
If
we
look
at
our
department
budget
slide,
it
breaks
down
all
of
those
expenses
by
cost
center,
and
so
you
can
see
again,
our
real
estate
department
is
maintaining
our
assets
and
owd
is
providing
community-based
organization
funding,
as
mentioned
before.
Much
of
our
focus
is
on
our
construction
needs.
We
have
invested
a
great
deal
of
effort,
building
databases
to
gather
more
detail
about
those
infrastructure
needs.
Since
our
initial
inventory
project
in
2017.,
we
now
anticipate
a
total
of
450
million
dollars
in
necessary
repairs
and
improvements
over
the
next
10
years.
C
C
This
investment
is
a
significant
sum
and
will
require
the
bpda
to
continue
thoughtful
financial
planning
in
the
years
ahead
to
ensure
that
these
needed
these
needs
are
appropriately
addressed
in
the
most
equitable
way
possible.
With
that,
I
will
turn
it
back
to
the
council
so
that
we
may
begin
questions.
C
D
You,
madam
chair
and
good
afternoon,
everyone
it's
good
to
see
you
after
it's
been
a
while
congratulations
on
your
new
assignment
and
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
your
team,
and
obviously
we
see
devin
and
michelle
and
tren
a
lot
more,
but
we'll
be
seeing
you
more
moving
forward.
So
it's
a
pleasure
having
worked
with
you
in
the
past,
I
guess
I
want
to
opine
just
briefly
on
the
challenge
that
we
have.
D
I
think,
as
the
city
is
we're
sort
of
coming
out
of
covet
and
we're
seeing
some
of
the
economic
realities
across
the
country
in
the
world.
The
challenge
for
boston
is:
how
do
we
keep
that
investment?
How
do
we
keep
that
development?
How
do
we
keep
those
housing
opportunities
coming
ceos
constantly
talking
about
moving
their
companies
here
to
tap
into
a
lot
of
our
great
strengths?
You
know
you
get
the
best
colleges,
universities
in
the
world.
D
We
get
the
best
hospitals,
a
network
of
community
health,
centers
we've
got
financial
services,
we've
got
a
direct
pipeline,
we're
a
livable,
walkable
and
relatively
safe
city
for
cities,
our
size
or
bigger.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
mojo
going
on
that
people
really
want
to
participate
in,
and
I
think
one
of
the
challenges
we
have
is
particularly
on
the
life
science
side
of
the
house
is
to
balance
the
life
science
lab
side.
So
I
know
that
the
demand
currently
exceeds
the
sort
of
the
available
inventory,
whether
some
people
say
it's.
D
The
demand
is
13
to
15
million
square
feet,
but
we
can
sort
of
accommodate
six
to
eight
we're
starting
to
see
so
the
life
science
and
the
labs
kind
of
maybe
for
lack
of
a
better
word
creep
closer
to
the
to
the
neighborhoods
and
just
having
sort
of
a
clearly
defined
set
of
rules,
because
it's
all
for
for
me
as
an
at-large
member
of
the
council.
It's
all
about
predictability.
D
D
D
You
know
those
numbers
better
than
I
do
as
folks
are
looking
to
come
down
to
the
ray
flynn
marine
industrial
park.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
that
if,
if
they're,
not
marine
industrial
freight
forwarding,
cold
storage,
seafood
processing
marine
ship
repair
that
that
they're,
that
they're
in
that
percentage
of
being
an
allowed
use
down
there
and
then
just
a
final
shout
out
to
some
of
the
dedicated
employees.
D
You
have
heather
camposado
rich
mcginnis
mike
christopher
teresa
pohemis,
all
no
matter
what
day
of
the
week,
no
matter
what
hour
of
the
day,
if
there's
a
question
or
a
concern
or
an
issue
or
a
development,
or
an
opportunity
to
convene
folks,
they're
willing
and
ready
and
right
at
the
right
at
the
helm,
with
the
two
hands
on
the
wheel,
making
sure
that
they're
putting
their
best
foot
forward
on
behalf
of
the
agency
but
they're.
Also
true
public
servants
looking
to
try
to
make
a
difference.
D
B
Sure,
well
through
the
chair
to
to
council
member
clarity.
So
yes,
I
would
tell
you
that
in
my
last
week
I've
been
briefed
on
a
lot
of
matters
and
one
of
the
most
interesting
was
a
briefing
on
life
sciences
and
and
lab
space
and
the
demand
for
it.
Just
how
much
of
demand
there
is
the
places
that
it's
beginning
to
show
up
and
the
ways
and
the
kind
of
demands
it
has
and
the
ways
that
it
interacts
with
our
plans.
B
B
What
are
the
features
of
you
know
when
it's
needed
the
ways
that
it's
used,
the
duration,
what
their
workforce
looks
like
you
know
what
kind
of
housing
needs
and
and
also
trip
generation
and
and
parking
and
other
needs
that
the
use
has.
And
then
you
know
how
do
many
of
the
things
I
know
about
life
sciences
have
to
do
with
you
know
phds
have
to
explain
them.
B
These
are
the
other
places
in
the
country
that
people
might
want
to
have
a
life
sciences,
how
we
can
be
as
competitive
as
possible
and
create
the
the
inventory
of
of
space
required
to
so
to
satisfy
the
proven
demand.
So
that's
a
little
bit
on
life
sciences.
I
would
I
agree
with
you.
We
need
to
create
a
balance
because,
like
any
other
use,
it
has,
it
has
dimensions
that
need
to
be,
they
have
impacts
and
the
impacts
need
to
be
measured
and
mitigated.
B
D
Thank
you,
chief
and
obviously
devin.
You
know
the
model
from
marine
industrial
park
where
we're
trying
to
protect
the
warehouses
and
stuff,
and
we
can
see
the
opportunity
potentially
wide
at
circle
newmarket,
maybe
even
though
the
master
cassie
area
and
even
the
papa
site,
where
we've
got
these
light,
manufacturing,
blue
collar
jobs,
good
companies,
arguably
being
priced
out
because
we're
a
land,
poor
city
and
everyone's
chasing
the
buck
on
the
real
estate.
D
If
there's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
be
creative,
will
we
keep
those
industrial
keep
those
light
manufacturing
on
that
first
floor,
but
allow
the
upper
floors
to
maybe
fetch
some
of
those
rents?
So
I
think
striking
that
balance,
particularly
we've,
seen
it
and
it's
sort
of
paying
dividends
now
marine
industrial
park,
but
also
wide
at
circle.
New
market
papas-
and
you
know
one
sure
way
if
we
can
give
a
an
economic
development
shot
in
the
arm
to
mass
and
cast
the
residents
over
there.
D
The
businesses
over
there
they've
absolutely
had
it
and
if
you
haven't
seen
it
over
the
last
few
weeks,
it's
growing
again
so
short
of
them
getting
a
massive
tax
break
which
this
council
is
has
got
a
matter
in
committee
right
now
to
talk
about
an
abatement
for
the
poor
landowners
and
building
owners
and
business
owners
in
residence
over
there.
Something
needs
to
happen
and
if
we
could
take
that
sort
of
that
model
that
we've
got
in
marine
industrial
park
and
bring
it
to
those
other
areas,
so
we're
keeping
the
light
manufacturing
we're.
E
E
It's
one
of
the
two
largest
land
that,
along
with
charlestown
navy,
are
the
two
largest
land
buildings
in
the
bpd's
inventory
and,
as
you
well
know-
and
I
think
your
comments
spoke
to
this
already-
it
was
founded
for
the
with
the
mission
of
keeping
a
maritime
economy
in
boston,
knowing
that
that
land
is
very
valuable
and
there
are
other
uses
that
could
be
could
be
cited.
There.
We've
done
a
lot
of
work
through
our
updated
master
plan
to
make
sure
that
that
america
time
economy
is
protected
in
the
future.
E
So
to
answer
your
question,
the
number
it's
67
so
67
of
the
ground
floor.
Equivalent
land
area
needs
to
remain
maritime
industrial.
The
remainder
of
the
marine
park
is
allowed
for
general
industrial
and
some,
I
think
five
percent
is
the
cap
on
commercial
and
that's
meant
to
be
supporting
commercial
uses
for
the
maritime
and
general
industrial
businesses
within
general.
Industrial
is
life
science.
So
there
is
a
significant
life
science
cluster
building
within
the
marine
park.
E
So
that's
where
that
that
funding
is
being
generated
in
order
to
make
investments
in
the
maritime
economy
and-
and
it's
going
well
and-
and
I
think
the
one
other
thing
I'd
add
to
it-
is
that's
also
a
place
where
we
draw
a
lot
of
our
funding
to
support
the
rest
of
our
mission
as
well.
So
as
that,
as
that
area
changes,
we
need
to
keep
that
maritime,
those
blue
collar
jobs
there.
E
F
A
G
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
a
couple
couple
of
issues
as
it
relates
to
life
sciences.
I
I
probably
have
maybe
20
proposals
potential
proposals
going
into
district
district
2
in
in
the
coming
more
towards
the
neighborhood
as
well
as,
as
you
know,
my
big
concern,
or
one
of
my
big
concerns
is
how
are
we
going
to
ensure
that
residents,
especially
at
the
youngest
ages,
have
an
opportunity
to
learn
about
life
sciences
at
the
earliest
age,
the
stem
subjects
math
and
science?
G
This,
I
think,
they're
still
struggling
with
that
with
that
question,
and
we
need
to
provide
them
some
guidance
on
exactly
what
we
expect
from
life
sciences
as
it
relates
to
what
benefit
it
could
have
on
residents,
young
students,
bps
students
they
might
be
living
in
roxbury,
they
might
be
living
in
in
charlestown,
they
might
be
living
in
miami
or
southeast
chinatown.
So
just
want
to
see
what
your
thoughts
might
be
on
that.
B
Through
the
chair
to
president
flynn,
so
president
flynn
I've
one
of
the
things
that
has
come
to
my
attention,
both
in
a
very
brief
discussion
with
with
councilmember
baker
and
others
has
been
an
effort
by
the
industry.
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
the
prior
question
was
very
appropriate.
What's
the
sort
of
industry
strategy
question
because
everyone
wants
to
know
if
this
is
such
a
strong
growing
business?
How
do
I
get
my
son
or
daughter
members
of
my
family
into
the
business
and
how
do
I
get
access
to
it?
B
So
I've
begun
to
hear
from
different
quarters.
In
particular,
it
seems
that
there's
a
group
forming
around
of
both
developers
and
people
and
industry
leaders
to
say
we
need
to
have
academies.
We
need
to
have
special
places
and
organizations
where
young
people
can
at
a
at
a
young
age
learn,
but
also
we
can
get
people
who
are
older
and
maybe
opportunity.
Youth
is
the
word
they
sometimes
use
about
people
who
may
be
of
college
age,
but
not
in
not
not
in
education.
At
this
time.
B
How
do
we
get
those
folks
tracked
into
the
work
associated
with
life
sciences?
So
I'm
interested
to
see
where
that
goes?
But
to
your
point
I
I
guess
I
hear
you're
saying
that
needs
to
be
kind
of
an
expectation.
That's
set
out
front
and
I'm
absorbing
that
and
I
think
as
we
I
continue
to
get
briefed
by
the
team.
You
may
hear
more
about
how
I've
absorbed
that
information,
but
saying
it's
something
we
expect
would
is
a
is
a
is
an
interesting
idea,
but
that
was
a
question
to
me.
B
G
Thank
thank
you,
sir.
I
appreciate
your
answer.
One
of
the
things
I've
focused
on
since
I
arrived
here
along
with
consulate
flaherty
down
at
the
south,
boston,
waterfront
flynn,
marine
industrial
park,
and
I've
worked
with
your
team
on
it,
devon
and
michael
christopher
and
others
lack
of
basic
city
services
down
down
in
the
south
boston
waterfront.
G
We
have
made
progress,
I
have
to
say
in
terms
of
the
ems
presence
going
in
there,
but
but
like
you,
I
get
calls
from
business
owners
that
want
to
relocate
to
the
south,
boston,
waterfront
and
and
they're
asking
do
we
have
basic
city
services
there
and-
and
I
said
you
know
we
don't,
but
we
are
getting
them.
You
know
we
are
getting
an
ems
presence
very
soon,
so
you
know
having
an
ems
presence
potentially
having
a
fire
presence.
G
We
have
boston
police,
we
have
state
police
down
there,
massport
police,
that's
also
part
of
a
neighborhood
and
when
we're
encouraging
businesses
to
come
here,
life
sciences,
including
in
residence.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
basic
city
services
such
as
ems
presence,
because
I
know
the
the
response
time,
especially
during
traffic
getting
in
and
out
of
the
south
boston
waterfront,
is
going
up
so
just
want
to
hear
what
your
thoughts
might
be
on
basic
city
services
in
and
around
the
the
southwestern
waterfront.
E
Thank
you,
president
flynn,
I
mean
you've
been
a
great
advocate
on
this
topic
and
I
know
we've
had
numerous
conversations
and,
and
one
of
the
results
is
obviously
the
ems
station.
We're
excited
to
be
hosting
on
our
property
working
with
public
facilities,
indiana
irish's
team
to
get
that
built
into
the
near
future
on
on
the
fire
services
front.
G
Thank
you
and
just
want
to
finally
say
it's
been
a
pleasure
working
with
trent
as
well
on
workforce
development,
job
training
issues.
I
know
that's
an
important
subject
that
your
team
works
on
making
sure
that
we're
able
to
connect
residents
with
job
training
programs
so
that
they're
able
to
have
the
skills
for
a
career
so
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you
and
your
team
for
being
proactive
and
being
a
good,
a
good
neighbor
to
so
many
boston
residents,
providing
job
training
opportunities
for
them.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
good
afternoon.
Everybody
thanks
for
coming
out,
probably
for
devon
devon.
How
do
we,
how
do
we
measure
what's
happening
in
the
development
scene
in
the
city?
Is
it?
Is
it
planning
completed
projects
and,
like
so,
can
you
lay
out
what
it
looks
like
from
pre-covered
1819
to
what
it
is
now
and
what
we
expect
in
the
future
if,
if
you're
yeah,
that
might
be
a
lot
too?
But
if
you
can.
E
H
That's
something
I'm
going
to
be
looking,
so
if
you
can
put
together
a
package
that
would
be
nice
to
me
what
what
were
the
permanent
projects
in
18
or
19
you
picked.
So
we
can
see
what
the
trajectory
of
the
city
of
the
city
is
going
to
be
that
that
would
be
helpful
to
me.
Have
you
are
you
familiar
and
I'm
just
going
to
throw
them
out?
Whoever
wants
to
answer
it's,
probably
mostly
for
devin
but
devin.
I
was
involved
a
little
bit
in
the.
H
H
E
H
H
Yeah,
so
regen
had
something
like
five
million
five
million
dollars
in
in
monies
that
were
gonna
be
idp
money.
They
they
were
in
discussions
with
bha
and
south
boston,
cdc
at
at
that
time
and
right
on
its
o'connor
way.
There
was
a
bha
held
parking
lot
right
so
that
money
was
seed
money
to
be
able
to
stop
that
project.
H
H
Not
necessarily
there
could
be,
there
could
be
a
good
job
training
facility
happening
there
could
be,
there
could
be
housing
where
people
are
connecting
on
with,
with
with
nonprofits
that
may
own
the
land
things
like
that.
Is
there
an
appetite
in
this
with
you
guys
for
direct
designation,
and
how
would
someone
go
about
doing
that.
E
I
think
the
answer
to
that
question
is
at
this
moment
of
transition,
and
again
I
defer
to
chief
johnson
here.
I
think
we're
open
to
any
conversation
about
anything
that
will
help
us
use
our
dollars
better,
to
create
more
affordability
in
our
city.
I
think
what's
important
is
that
as
we
set
up
new
systems
and
structures,
it's
very
clear
where
that
decision
making
lies.
E
H
But
it
finally
funnels
for
you,
when
the
neighborhood
neighborhood
housing
trust
I'm
talking
about
before
it
gets
the
neighborhood
housing
trust.
How
do
we?
How
do
we
have
the
conversation?
If
I'm,
if
I'm
a
district
city
council,
that's
getting
ready
to
have
a
million
square
feet,
six
million
square
feet
developed
over
the
next,
the
next
five
five
to
ten
to
fifteen
years
is
going
to
be
50
million
dollars
in
whatever
the
number
is
going
to
be.
H
How
do
we,
how
do
we,
myself,
as
the
current
district,
3,
counselor
and
I'll,
speak
about
district
3
and
whoever's
sitting
where
you
guys
are
sitting?
How
do
we
deal
with
that
developer
and
say
you
know
he
has
a
housing
opportunity.
He
has
a
job
training.
What
does
that
look
like?
Is
it
always
going
to
like
it?
Is
there
an
administrative
or
an
executive
decision
that
always
has
to
be
made
there,
and
how
do
we
get
get
around
that?
Maybe.
B
B
Similarly,
we're
expecting
something
similar
with
with
linkage
so
devin's
comment
that
we
want
to
have
any
conversation
is,
is
completely
accurate.
The
other
point
about
the
neighborhood
housing
trust.
I
think
you're
asking
the
question
of
us
that
I
think
is
a
fair
question,
probably
of
of
them
and
to
me
and
sheila,
which
is,
if
I'm
going
to
have
this
amount
of
development.
You
know
I
you.
What
should
I
expect
would
happen
in
my
neighborhood
in
terms
of
investments
in
in
affordable
housing
and
job
training.
B
I
think
the
the
difficult
thing
about
direct
designation,
as
I
remember
it
from
the
old
days,
is
that
you
know
if
you
start
to
say
like
well.
My
part
of
the
city
is
having
this
impact
and
we
should
have
the
resource
allocation
that
becomes
it
that
can
be
a
tense
conversation,
and
so
we
have
the
neighborhood
housing
trust
to
help
us
say
what
are
the
city-wide
issues,
but
while
also
respecting
and
understanding
your
reasonable
request,
I'm
experiencing
development.
How
do
I
protect
my
neighborhood?
So
I
think
the
next
60
to
90
days.
H
F
H
I
would
argue,
and
again
I'm
not
looking
to
keep
all
the
dollars
right
in
my
community,
I'm
looking
I'm
looking
to
build
units
because
I've
sat
on
the
housing
trust.
I
sit
on
the
jobs,
trust
and
I
see
not
that
we
don't
do
gold
great
work
in
both
places.
I
see
us,
take
money
and
cut
it
up,
cut
it
up
to
two
to
two
pieces.
B
H
Pieces
where
five
million
going
into
it
going
into
a
housing
development,
is
real
money.
500
000
is
maybe
the
plans
for
something.
So
if
we're
able
to
connect
onto
city
lands,
direct
designation,
you
know
and
do
things
on
the
front
end
as
a
city,
whether
if
we're
providing
land
or
providing
like
what
the
nhi
did,
they
they
gave
actual.
H
B
Know
he
said
right
now:
can
he
finish
that?
Yes,
one
question
to
ask
so
to
remember
baker,
so
one
other
thing
to
think
about
is
you
know,
developers
do
have
the
option
of
providing
housing
on
their
site,
so
something
if
you
really
want
to
make
sure
that
it
happens
in
your
district.
You
can
also
encourage
our
development
partners
to
say.
B
Is
there
a
way
to
incorporate
this
into
your
own
project,
and
maybe
that
way
it's
a
way
of
making
sure
that,
if
you're
concerned
about
that
factor
that
it
all
happens
in
the
same
area
now,
every
development's
different
people
may
not
have
room
on
their
site
to
do
that.
But
it
is
something
that
I
know
sheila
or
pardon
me.
Chief
dylan
has
talked
about
as
a
goal.
H
I
Working,
yes,
I'm
working
good.
Thank
you
for
being
here
a
few
questions.
Let's
see,
I
I
was
looking
at
the
the
the
the
contractual
services
expenses
under
money
for
personnel
personnel
personnel
was
21,
24.1
million,
and
then
contractual
services
was
24.4
million
and
the
contractual
services
for
planning
studies
and
engineering
design.
It
seems
that
you
don't
have
the
personnel
capacity
to
do
a
lot
of
this
in-house
and
that
we
need
to
change
the
equation.
A
little,
and
one
big
issue
I
have
is,
is
your
planning
capacity.
I
I
B
Through
the
chair
to
to
councilman
reed,
I
would
say
that
this
is
probably
our
number
one
I
mean
from
before.
I
got
here
and
and
sort
of
in
in
every
form
of
communication.
For
the
last
60
days,
I've
been
hearing
about
the
gap
in
our
ability
to
process
the
demand
on
the
demand
on
on
having
projects
reviewed,
but
I
think
I
only
highlight
that
to
say
you
know.
B
The
mayor's
view
is
that
there
needs
to
be
planning,
led
development
review
and
for
us
to
reach
a
threshold
where
we
actually
have
the
level
of
planning
support.
We
need
to
actually
cause
that
to
be
true.
We
need
a
huge
surge
of
of
people
and
personnel
in
order
to
get
that
to
happen.
We've
lost
too
many
positions
in
this
area,
and
so
it's
our
number
one
priority
we
have
I
mean
devin
can
speak
to
this
better
than
I
can,
but
we've
already
posted
a
number
of
jobs.
B
E
The
only
thing
I
add
is
that
we
are
hiring
of
35
positions
posted
and,
like
arthur,
mentioned,
hiring
his
job
one,
so
we're
out
there
looking
for
people
to
join
the
team,
and
now
is
a
very
exciting
time
to
be
on
the
team,
where
we're
looking
at
how
to
do
planning
and
development
differently
in
the
future
of
boston.
So
we
want
people
to
come
at
the
front
row
seat
with
us
with
you
all,
as
we
as
we
craft
that
future
together.
I
Thank
you
and
I'm
excited
at
the
prospect
of
having
a
more
planning
led
development
process,
then
the
other,
the
other
important
piece
of
the
work
of
of
the
bpda
that
we
tap
into
as
as
legislators
and
whatever
is
the
the
research
department
and
and
the
great
publications
that
you
produce.
I
was
just
wondering
in
terms
of
I
think
there
was
a
prolific
production
of
reports
when
in
previous
administrations.
I
think
during
menino's
time
there
was
400
those
in
the
space
of
14
years.
I
It
was
435
and
right
now
I
think
we're
since
20
in
the
last
year
or
so
there's
about
eight
and-
and
we
rely
on
these
to
help
us
get
a
sense
of
what's
happening
on
the
ground
in
terms
of
infrastructure.
Do
you
have
the
capacity
and
the
resources
to
continue
to
deliver
really
good
quality?
And
I
don't
mean
like
surface
level
analysis,
but
really
you
know
getting
into
the
weeds
a
little
more
on
on
on
the
reports.
E
J
I'm
sorry,
I
would
also
add
for
the
office
of
workforce
development.
We
also
use
area
schools
northeastern
dukakis
center.
We
work
with
them
closely
on
releasing
up-to-date
quarterly
labor
market
data
that
gets
to
the
job
vacancies
for
the
residents,
who
don't
have
a
bachelor's
degree
we're
in
conversations
with
the
boston
fed
on
policies
that
and
research
that
impacts
low-wage
workers.
J
We
have
many
researchers
around
the
country,
particularly
in
boston,
that
focuses
on
randomized
control
studies
and
also
constant
surveys
to
find
out
what's
on
the
ground
and
what
impacts
low-wage
workers
so
that
we
can
draft
policies
and
improve
programs
that
meet
the
constant
needs
of
the
residents,
so
that
is
always
ongoing.
I
apologize
if
that
wasn't
very
visible
in
the
on
the
website.
C
When
it
comes
to
our
research
department,
I
believe
it
was
fy19
that
we
added
to
staff
they
have
been
instrumental
in
providing
research
support
to
the
mayor's
office.
During
the
pandemic
19
crisis,
they
focused
very
heavily
on
those
weekly
updates
and
I've
been
in
conversation
with
alvaro
thinking
about
between
the
work
that
we
are
doing
contesting
the
census
and
some
of
the
other
critical
projects
that
are
going
on
how
we
might
prioritize
going
forward.
So
I'd
be
happy
to
share
this
feedback
or
discuss
more
if
there's
additional
reporting.
That
would
be
helpful.
I
Very
good,
thank
you.
Let's
see
research
questions,
the
other
institutional
master
plans
and
and
the
challenges
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
our
big
ins.
We
have
the
eds
and
meds
and
we
have
sort
of
a
perfect
storm
next
year.
We're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
impacted
by
of
institutional
master
plans
coming
up
for
review.
I
B
Through
the
chair
to
remember
breeden,
I
would
say
all
of
the
above
is
a
is
a
hope
is
an
appropriate
answer.
I
mean,
I
think,
the
the
institutional
master
plans
give
us
an
opportunity
to
have
a
very
direct
and
transparent
discussion
with
our
institutions
about
what
our
expectations
are,
the
impact
that
they're
having
on
the
local
housing
market,
and
I
think
we
intend
to
use
it
as
a
way
to
look
very
closely
with
them
again.
These
are
some
of
the
leading
institutions
in
the
united
states.
B
In
many
cases,
I'm
sure
that
they'll
have
ideas
above
and
beyond
the
two
or
three
that
you-
and
I
have
talked
about
now
about
how
to
resolve
that.
I
think
my
immediate
focus,
if
you
pardon
me
for
being
very
mundane,
is
having
enough
horsepower
people
power
to
actually
engage
those
plans
as
fully
as
they
should
be
engaged.
I
I
think
the
harsh
power,
the
people
part
of
the
horsepower
analogy,
is
very,
very
important.
We,
I
know,
there's
a
very
there's
a
few
people
in
our
district
who
focus
on
the
institutional
master
planning
process
and
it's
getting
in
it's
intense
work
and-
and
you
know,
making
sure
you
have
the
capacity
to
really
do
a
good
job
on
that
is
and
not
just
give
our
institutions
a
free
pass
is
really
important.
I
But
really,
if
we're
really
serious
about
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing,
we
can't
be
letting
them
have
a
pass
on
this
and
it
has
to
be
an
important
component,
especially
in
our
district,
a
lot
of
developers,
favor
doing
single
and
studios
and
single
one
bedroom.
Housing
units
over
more
family,
suitable
housing
for
families
and
amenities
for
families,
so
I
think
that's
something
I
just
like
to
flag
up
as
an
important.
I
I
E
So
when
it
comes
to
how
they
I
know
to
counsel,
you
may
know
this
prior
to
my
coming
to
this
role
at
bpda,
I
worked
for
sheila
dillon
in
the
department
of
neighbor
development
now
mayor's
office
housing.
So
I
know
something
about
the
way
that
the
lotteries
were
run
for
affordable
housing
units
that
are
created
off-site,
which
is
through
the
fair
housing
office.
I
believe
that's
also
the
case
for
idp
units,
although
I'm
not
an
expert
on
the
idp
net,
so
I'd
have
to
get
back
to
you.
I
K
Four
thanks
so
much
madam
chair
picking
up
on
affh,
I
feel
like
we
have
really
given
you
with
the
zoning
amendment
and
the
policy
and
the
viftic
like
kind
of
a
sword
and
a
stone
there.
But
I
feel
like
it's
still
in
the
stone,
and
I
guess
a
couple
of
questions
so
and,
and
I
think
just
to
like
conceptually
it
was
based
on
the
green
building
committee.
K
It
was
the
same
idea
of
like
we
all
share
responsibility
for
a
new
thing,
which
is
like
a
greener
city
of
boston,
a
a
less
segregated,
more
inclusive
city
of
boston,
and
so
instead
of
saying
that
everyone's
responsible
for
something
that
they
did
it's
instead
like.
We
all
share
this
thing
that
we
need
and
we
need
to
do
something
proactive
right
and
so,
and
I
feel
like
what
you've
seen.
Is
the
green
building
committee
get
much
more
aggressive
about
what
its
standards
are
over
its
10
years
or
whatever
of
existence?
K
And
I
think
basically,
what
we
need
is
for
the
the
interagency
fair
housing
committee
to
do
the
same
thing,
but
on
a
much
shorter
timeline
like
I
don't
think
we
have
10
years
for
it
to
sort
of
find
its
footing
and
realize
its
powers
and
like
whatever,
like
we
kind
of
need
it
to
do
that
now.
The
good
news
is,
I
actually
think
you
have
now
in
statute
a
lot
of
the
powers.
That
would
be
helpful.
So
an
example
I
wanted
to
give
we
we
right
now.
K
K
I,
a
significant
number
of
our
buildings
have
landlords
who
will
tell
a
tenant
who
comes
with
a
voucher
that
could
actually
afford
the
market
rate
rent
of
the
building.
Oh,
no,
you
can
only
use
that
in
the
affordable
units.
I
think
we
have
a
ton
of
our
landlords
who
are
miseducated
about
source
of
income,
discrimination,
prohibitions
and
that's
another
issue
that
the
council's
raised
with
fair
housing
and
there's
all
kinds
of
testing,
etc.
K
Yes,
I'm
not
just
going
to
rent
to
people
with
vouchers,
because
technically
I'm
legally
required
to,
even
though
maybe
I
don't
know
it,
but
I'm
actually
going
to
like
sort
of
proactively
make
my
systems
work
for
voucher
holders.
I'm
not,
for
instance,
going
to
fill
an
apartment
so
fast
that
a
voucher
tenant
can't
have
their
inspection
done
and
the
time
permitted
right
or,
like
I,
you
know,
there's
just
there's
a
bunch
of
things:
I'm
not
going
to
run
credit
checks
on
people
whose
rent
is
backed
by
the
full
faith
and
credit
of
the
federal
government.
K
I
think
there's
like
a
bunch
of
things
that
the
bpda
could
do
to
actually
help
unlock
the
market
rate,
rentals
that
we're
approving
to
these
lower
income.
Folks,
in
addition
to
the
idp
units-
and
I
think
that
would
make
a
huge
difference
for
formerly
furthering
fair
housing,
and
but
it
means
that
the
bpda
needs
to
work
really
closely
with
the
bha
on
understanding
that
I'm
thinking
about
how
you
monitor
that
how
you
make
that
real.
I
also
think
that
and
I'll
say
this
to
the
idp
technical
folks
at
some
point
as
well.
K
But
I
think
that
in
addition
to
wherever
we
land
on
idp,
it
would
be
huge
if
we
also
move
towards
having
a
tranche
of
apartments
in
any
residential
building,
where
we
simply
asked
folks
to
commit
to
keeping
them
below
this
payment
standard.
Because
since
we
switched
to
small
area,
fair
market
rents
at
the
bha,
our
payment
standards
are
quite
high
and
they're
very
close
to
real
market.
K
But
the
new
buildings
that
come
online
tend
to
be
a
bit
above
the
average
because
they're
new,
and
so
it
could
literally
be
a
very
shallow
subsidy
commitment
where
we're
asking
people
to
have
the
runs
500
bucks
lower
than
they
would
be
they're,
otherwise
getting
market
rents.
But
then
we've
got
low
income
folks
coming
into
it.
K
So
I
mentioned
some
of
those
ideas
just
to
say
that
I
think
that's
the
type
of
thing
that
the
bift
it
could
be
asking
building
owners
to
talk
about
and
commit
to
up
front
that
we're
not
asking
them
to
do.
In
addition
to
there's
a
bunch
of
harder
housing
creation
asks
and
built
into
the
bift
dick
right,
then
imagine
like
that.
K
You
might
actually
you
know
partner
with
the
bha
on
public,
on
project-based
vouchers
or
you
might
grab
land
and
do
some
sort
of
thing
or,
like
you
were
saying
arthur
you
might
you
know
repurpose
part
of
your
space,
so
I
just
really
want
to
emphasize
that.
I
think
it
would
be
great
for
that
to
be
on
your
like
soon
list,
not
your
sort
of
like
one
year
list
of
things
to
kind
of
really
get
your
arms
around,
because
I
think
a
lot
of
what
we
hope
to
see
in
terms
of
a
more
like
how's.
K
Our
people
focused
planning
policy.
There's
like
the
seeds
of
it
are
already
there.
We'd,
also
love
to
hear
if
you
guys
have
started
thinking
about
expediting,
affordable
of
housing
review
at
all
in
article
80.
I
I
mean
in
a
small
way
we
helped
with
this
with
lifting
the
parking
minimums
on
affordable
housing.
That
was
obviously
a
partnership
between
agency
and
the
council
last
year,
but
I'm
wondering
whether
there's
been
any
thought
to
just.
K
E
Thank
you,
counselor.
Those
are
all
excellent
thoughts
and
I
really
again
appreciate
your
advocacy
on
behalf
of
affordable
housing
in
our
city.
A
couple
thoughts,
one.
Those
are
all
great
ideas
again
just
want
to
come
to
this
body
with
the
spirit
of
all
ideas
around
the
table.
We
really
want
to
hear
how
we
can
incorporate
them
into
our
into
our
thinking
as
the
new
team
gets
started.
I
think
one
thing
that
immediately
comes
to
mind
with
that
set
of
ideas
is
where,
in
the
regulatory
process
might
they
be
embedded?
E
Are
these
things
that
are
in
zoning?
Are
these
things
that
are
in
cooperation
agreements?
Are
these
things
that
are
part
of
the
new
idp
policy,
like,
I
think
how
as
we,
if
we
could,
I
think,
sit
down
and
sort
of
hash
out
how
to
operationalize
into
the
different
regulatory
tools
that
the
vpda
has
how
to
how
to
make
that
happen.
I
think
that'd
be
really
exciting
and
productive
conversation
and
on
the
question
of
are
we
considering
expediting
affordable
housing
permitting?
E
The
answer
is
yes,
and
chief
dylan's
team
has
started
a
work
group
on
this
that
we
were
invited
to
last
week.
I
think
it
would,
I
think
it
overlapped
with
one
of
our
arthur's
first
onboarding
conversations.
We
could
make
it
the
very
first
meeting
on
it,
but
that
has
started
and
our
and
a
team
of
bpda
staff
will
be
working
together
and
I'm
sure
we'll
be
before
this
council
relatively
soon
to
talk
about
how
how
to
how
to
actually
make
that
real.
K
Yeah,
we
need
all
all
hands
on
deck
and
all
levels,
and
I
mean
I
also
would
love
to
see
the
bpda
sort
of
in
the
city
partnering
to
sort
of
create
a
housing
corporation,
and
this
is
all
part
of
the
conversation,
maybe
for
the
land
study
and
such
so
more
to
come.
I
I
just
want
to
also
emphasize
vis-a-vis
research.
Alvaro's
team
is
amazing
in
our
affh
work.
They
were
amazing.
K
K
I
am
really
interested
in
the
bpda
research
folks
playing
a
role
in
us
getting
our
arms
around
that
problem
kind
of
like
quickly
and
aggressively
so
that
we
can
help
lead
this
conversation
and
not
sort
of
end
up
in
a
state,
governor's
departure
checklist
space,
and
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize
that.
Even
in
that
context,
I
have
really
no
interest
at
all
in
us,
considering
a
hotel
to
dorm
conversion
of
an
adjacent
building
before
we've
even
figured
out
what's
happening
with
the
hinds.
B
B
I
think
the
real
immediate
challenge
there
is
making
sure
that
the
buyer
does
not
develop
such
expectations
about
the
development
of
the
site,
that
it
can't
really
have
a
multi-layered
use
to
the
to
the
city,
meaning
that
in
it
in
our
regulatory
review
of
whatever's
proposed
there
isn't
enough
planning
room
there
for
there
to
be
the
things
that
benefit
the
city
to
be
achieved.
So
I
think
what
we
are
focused
on
now
is
identifying
those
broad
expectations
as
a
way
to
help.
B
K
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
to
the
vpda
for
being
here
and
answering
some
of
our
questions.
So
my
first
question
is
going
to
be
about
supplier
diversity
and
vendor
diversity
within
the
bpda.
You'd
say
that
you
could
delve
more
into
that
and
I'd
l
and
I'd
like
you
to.
I
believe
the
stats
were
that
at
the
time
that
the
disparity
study
was
done.
L
C
So
in
may
21
we
passed
our
equitable
procurement
plan.
It
sits
with
the
board
now
and
requires
means
the
cpo
to
monitor
and
report
on
a
variety
of
actions.
We
did
attempt
to
break
that
plan
into
five
key
areas
of
focus,
with
outreach
and
data
tracking
being
two
kind
of
key
areas
that
we
knew
we
needed
to
improve
upon.
We
had
participated
with
the
city's
disparity
study,
so
over
the
same
time
period
the
city
spend
was
2.2
billion.
C
C
C
L
C
We
are
finding
success
in
areas
like
landscaping
and
general
repair
and
maintenance,
so
primarily
providing
services
in
the
marine
park.
We've
also
focused
quite
a
bit.
We,
we
have
some
ebbs
and
flows
in
our
capital
construction
projects,
we're
in
a
heavy
design
phase
right
now,
so
we've
been
working
really
hard
to
get
more
designers
on
board,
and
so
you
know
I
think,
going
forward.
Yes,
our
biggest
challenge
is
we
want
to
maintain
the
relationships
that
we
have.
We
have
niche
providers,
we
have
niche
needs.
C
We
have
an
awful
lot
of
waterfront
infrastructure
and
so
to
have
white-owned
entities
that
are
able
to
do
this
work.
Sorry,
women-owned
entities
that
are
able
to
do
this
work.
We
still
want
to
hold
on
to
them,
but
it
is
clear
that
we
have
much
further
to
go
in
creating
supplier
diversity
across
the
board
for
both
entities.
L
Got
it
so
I'm
wondering
what
from
the
massport
model
have
there
has
to
be
pda,
been
because
they've
seen
success,
they've
been
successful,
getting
black
businesses
and
getting
lucrative
black
businesses.
I
think
it's
important
that
we're
that
you
know
we're
doing
the
landscaping,
because
someone
has
a
landscaping
company
in
roxbury.
L
Like
that's
great,
I
think
that
is,
and
we
need
to
be
upping
the
level
of
technical
assistance
that
we
give
to
folks
in
our
neighborhoods
to
be
able
to
become
vendors
and
contractors
with
the
bpda
and
to
get
that
mbwe
certification,
so
not
knocking
that
at
all.
That
is
very
important
to
have
that
entry,
but
I
think
there's
a
lot.
We
can
learn
from
what's
been
done
and
so.
C
Yes,
ma'am,
we
have
been
working
in
the
land
disposition
space.
I
know
devon
can
speak
about
that
a
lot.
We
have
been
working
to
bring
diversity
plans
into
our
30b
procurements,
which
is
a
bit
of
gymnastics,
but
we
are
trying
to
make
sure
that
we're
narrowly
tailoring
our
projects,
and
so,
if
there's
downstream
suppliers,
diversity
plans
are
super
important.
C
If
it's
the
scenario
where
it's
direct
service
diversity
plans
can
sometimes
prevent
people
from
participating
in
the
process,
and
so
we
don't
want
it
to
be
a
burden,
but
we
have
worked
very
closely
with
the
real
estate
department
and
the
land
disposition
space
so
devon.
I
don't
know
if
we
have
time
for
comment
on
that.
E
I
would
just
say
briefly
that
I
think
this
is
this
is
a
diverse,
designing.
Our
spend
is
critically
important
to
advancing
our
mission
and
as
a
real
estate
entity.
This
is
this:
is
it's
ultimately
a
passion
area
for
a
lot
of
our
staff
members?
We
have
tried
to
lead
on
the
with
we're
doing
real
estate
disposition
rfps
similar
to
massport,
including
as
one
of
our
four
selection
criteria.
Diver,
diversity,
equity
inclusion
as
one
of
the
deciding
factors
as
to
which
team
we're
going
to
work
with
when
developing
public
land.
E
All
all
real
estate
dispositions-
and
that's
been
our
policy
since
2018
since
2020
we've
rated
that
at
20,
no
less
than
25
percent
of
the
overall
evaluation
criteria
of
who
we're
going
to
work
with,
and
I'm
happy
to
send
you
more
information
on
this
offline.
But
we
have
about
16
developments
that
we've
awarded
during
that
time
period,
all
of
which
have
significant
diversity,
inclusion
plans
and,
what's
I
think,
important
about
that
list-
is
that
includes
development
at
a
lot
of
different
scales.
L
Thank
you.
I
think
it's
really
important.
You
know,
you
all
know
the
reputation
of
the
bpda
bra
and
about
it,
acting
as
a
force,
what
it's
doing
to
communities
and
I
think,
that's
amplified
even
more
when
we
look
at
you
know
when
you
peel
those
diversity
numbers
and
see,
what's
actually
happening.
So
it's
really
important,
for
you
know
in
the
areas
where
the
bpda
is
trying
to
self-correct
and
get
things
right.
L
I
think
this
is
a
really
really
important
area,
especially
when
folks
are
already
upset
oftentimes,
that
development
is
happening
in
their
communities
and
they
feel
like
their
voice,
hasn't
been
heard.
Like
you
know,
the
bpda
is,
you
know,
working
hand-in-hand
with
the
developer,
then
you
also
see
the
vendors
who
come
on
the
projects
and
the
vendors.
Don't
look
like
you
right
and
the
contract.
You
know
what
I
mean,
so
I
think
it's
just
an
important
area
for
us
to
continue
for
the
bpda
to
continue
really
leaning
in
doing
the
work.
L
Another
question
I
have
is
regarding
the
jobs,
trust
the
allocation
in
the
in
the
linkage
fees
so
like
the
trust
is
replenished
with
linkage,
fees
paid
by
developers
and
one
of
the
things
I
think
that's
important
to
workforce
development
that
I
don't
know
how
much
we
talk
about.
It
is
language
access
and
english
language
learners.
So
I
was
wondering
what
what
do
you
see?
L
The
role
of
the
neighborhood
jobs,
trust
in
contributing
to
english
language,
english
as
a
second
language
classes,
especially
because
there's
a
very
long
wait
list
in
the
city
of
boston
for
those
classes
so
like?
How
do
you
think
about
that
in
the
office
of
workforce
development
for
our
immigrant
populations.
J
Question
and
I'm
glad
you
had
stated
the
difference
with
the
linkage
law,
which
we
have
two
housing,
and
this
is
relevant
to
the
neighborhoods
jobs.
Trust
adult
basic
education
at
esol
remains
one
of
the
highest
priority
for
the
mayor
and
for
the
city
and
for
the
neighborhoods
jobs,
trust,
and
so
what
we
do
is
work
closely
with
the
state.
They
have
an
out
direct
allocation
of
9.7
million
to
25
community-based
groups
serving
thousand
people.
J
State
allocation:
this
is
the
state
allocation
directly
to
community-based
partners
in
the
city,
and
we
work
closely
with
them.
Although
we
don't
have
direct
funding,
we
utilize
and
leverage
our
dollars
to
help
provide
ta
where
the
state
does
not
provide
funding
for
so.
For
example,
we
provided
two
million
dollars
of
chromebooks
and
also
updated
professional
development
staff
for
teachers
of
esol
so
that
they
can
continue
a
hybrid
approach
to
doing
and
conducting
esl
and
abe
classes.
J
We've
also
done
assessments
because
the
state
has
required
hybrid
and
online
tests
for
hiset
and
the
residents
are
not
necessarily
equipped
for
it.
So
we
provide
a
year-long
of
we
free,
wi-fi
and
chromebooks
so
that
they
can
obtain
the
tests
from
the
state,
and
so
there's
a
variety
of
reasons
and
projects
and
research
that
we've
worked
with
the
state
on
happy
to
follow
up
with
you
online
on
the
ongoing
efforts.
J
L
One
more
question
regarding
language
access
for
the
bpda,
so
you
know
I.
I
just
think
it's
really
important
that
we
just
have
to
do
a
better
job
of
including
all
of
our
communities,
our
immigrant
communities,
and
sometimes
I'm
on
these
bpda
hearings
and
you're
hearing
these
translations
and
you're
like
what
is.
What
is?
L
Is
this
the
language
that
I
know
right,
and
so
I
my
questions
are
my
question
about
this:
is
how
does
the
bpd
establish
when
to
do
a
special
language
and
communication
access
for
a
plan
for
certain
neighborhoods,
and
do
you
depend
on
the
city's
lca
division
for
translations
and
yeah?
How
do
you
set
those
policies
and
how
do
we
make
translations
better
when
it
comes
to
development,
both
translation
and
outreach,
because
oftentimes?
The
word
for
word,
translation,
that
is,
that
does
not
work
right.
L
E
Yeah
and
I
think
something
that's
absolutely
critical
to
us-
counselors,
making
sure
that
we're
actually
able
to
reach
every
every
every
every
person,
the
city,
every
community,
in
the
city,
in
the
language
that's
most
appropriate
to
them.
But
to
answer
your
questions
specifically,
we
now
have
a
language
access
policy
that
we've
had
for
a
little
over
a
year
and
now
happy
to
share
that
with
you,
where
we
are
about
to
hire
a
new
language
access
coordinator,
that
language
access
policy
sets
out
pretty
firmly
what
based
on
the
demographics
of
the
neighborhood.
E
E
Yes,
we
have
a
long
way
to
go
to
where
we're
actually
achieving
our
goal
of
reaching
reaching
every
community
member
in
an
authentic
and
in
an
easily
understood
way,
and
that's
something
as
we
hire
a
new
diverse
director
of
diversity,
equity
inclusion
and
a
director
of
community
engagement
that
is
front
and
center
for
what
those
roles
this
important
objectives
for
those
roles.
So
we
would
absolutely
love
to
sit
down
with
you
more
and
talk
about
how
to
make
that
a
reality.
L
Thank
you,
and
I
just
also
urge
that
you
also
work
with
community
groups,
because
this
is
a
group.
This
is
a
concern
that
I've
heard
a
great
that
I've
heard
from
community
groups
of
all
stripes
and
of
all
cultures.
So
thank
you
and
thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
allowing
me
to
ask
that
additional
question
appreciate
it.
M
M
You
know
that
understanding
that
we
can't
wait
until
kids
are
in
middle
school
or
high
school
or
young
adults
to
say:
oh
here's
some
supports
we
have
to
start
early.
I
knew
that
as
a
kindergarten
teacher
that
you
know
when
we
start
early
we're
going
to
have
better
results
and
I
don't
think
we're
doing
a
great
job
yet
of
starting
early.
It's
more
like
react
when
we
see
that
there's
groups
or
certain
individuals
who
need
support.
M
J
J
What
we
try
to
do
is
provide
complementary
or
what
we
call
integrated
programs
so
that
it
would
help
boost
early
college
education,
dual
enrollments,
as,
as
you
know,
the
mayor
had
launched
12
new
sites
at
the
high
schools
for
dual
enrollment,
which
our
schools
have
for
for
a
variety
of
reasons
never
taken
advantage
of,
and
so
what
we
did
also
use
is
linkage
dollars
to
provide
tuition-free
community
college
for
all
students.
In
the
city
I
mean
when
developments
are
happening
and
beautiful
buildings
are
happening.
J
So
we've
had
those
constant
conversations
and
obviously
the
training
dollars
are
never
enough.
So
we
leveraged
that
with
the
federal
government
usdol
the
higher
education
funding
pell
grants,
as
you
know,
state
funding
as
well.
But,
more
importantly,
we
really
link
employers
to
graduates
and
internships,
and
also
those
who
are
graduating
with
those
disciplines
into
the
jobs
that
are
available.
M
Are
you
collecting
data,
or
is
it
too
soon
because
I
often
hear
in
the
labor
world
also
that
there's
jobs
they
want
and
they
offer
internships
and
opportunities
for
our
bps
kids
but
oftentimes?
They
start
and
they're
just
not
prepared
to
succeed,
and
I
we're
failing
them
right
and
I
know
you
said
we
have
to
push
back
on
bps,
but
we
do
know
the
date.
Is
there
that
they're
not
doing
a
great
job
at
preparing
our
students,
if
they're
coming
out
of
a
boston
public
school
to
be
prepared
for
this
type
of
great
work?
M
J
I
mean
we
are
working
with
administrative
data
with
mous
with
the
state
community
colleges.
As
you
know,
we've
pulled
them
in
because
they
can
go
to
scale
here
to
help
us
with
workforce
development
and
then
leveraging
the
pell
dollars
for
low-income
students
and
so
we're.
We
are
putting
those
data
agreements
together
to
track
and
collect
data
for
students
and
completions,
but
you're
right.
We
have
to
do
a
better
job
with
our
schools
to
really
you
know,
document
and
track
outcomes.
M
And
before
my
time's
out,
I
will
lift
up
my
colleague
council
of
warrell,
and
I
myself
and
council
of
flaherty
joined
in.
I
don't
know
if
you
saw
his
cradle
to
career
initiative
that
we're
working
on
with
him,
but
that
idea
of,
if
we
wait
too
long
in
that
data
collecting
the
data
from
birth
and
seeing
at
what
points
are
these
kids
falling
off
or
when?
Are
they
successful?
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
Chief,
it's
great
to
meet
you.
Congratulations,
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
we're
all
excited
about
your
arrival.
I
do
want
to
just
shout
out
incredible
individuals
in
the
bpda
that
I've
gotten
a
chance
to
work
with
over
the
years,
joe
cristo
jared
staley,
christina
riccio,
jay
rogerio
mike
christopher
teresa
polymus
ted
schwartzberg,
alvaro,
lima,
chris
breen,
rich
mcguinness
and
devin.
N
I'm
also
happy
to
hear
that
you
are
pushing
for
more
personnel
and
planners
to
help
with
this
initiative
and
looking
at
the
top
10
of
earners,
it's
still
disheartening
to
see
that
75
of
them
are
white.
So
I
know
that
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
in
this
space
and
my
question
is,
I
mean
only
because
I've
heard
anecdotally,
we
are
not
competitive
in
terms
of
salary
when
it
comes
to
major
development
corporations,
and
I
think
a
lot
of
what
we
can
do
is
just
pay
people
what
they
deserve
right.
N
We've
lost
a
lot
of
talent
over
the
last
couple
of
years
to
these
major
development
corporations.
So
I'm
wondering,
if
you're
doing
an
analysis
of
the
levels
of
or
the
salary
levels,
that
you're
providing
for
planners
and
project
managers
and
comparing
them
to
some
of
the
other
salary
levels
that
others
are
providing.
B
E
Yeah,
thank
you
counselor,
and
so
the
answer.
The
quick
answer
is
yes,
I
think
you've
heard
the
job.
One
is
capacity
and
it's
really
important
for
us
to
bring
people
onto
our
team
to
achieve
the
day-to-day
work
of
the
agency
and
all
that
all
the
bigger
and
better
work
we
want
to
do
together,
but
we
can't
do
that
without
without
without
people.
E
We
know
there
are
a
couple
things
holding
us
back
from
being
able
to
hire,
retain
great
people.
One
is
the
overall
economy
and
we
can't
change
that
right.
That's
that's!
It's
a
tough
hiring
market
in
the
united
states
right
now,
but
the
the
second
thing
is
pay,
and
we
know
we
are
not
paying
in
line
with
the
market
and
in
fact,
in
some
places
we're
not
even
paying
in
line
with
other
municipalities
that
are
local
right
and
it's
sort
of
devastating
to
lose.
F
E
So
we
are
absolutely
going
to
correct
that
we
are.
We
are
contracting
now
with
a
firm
to
do
a
class
in
compensation
study.
That
study
should
be
done
by
the
end
of
the
summer
and
that
should
immediately
affect
how
we're
able
to
both
post
jobs
that
also
affect
retention
rates
as
well.
We
will
adjust
salaries
based
on
that
data.
E
I
think
it's
probably
worth
mentioning
the
third
issue,
which
is
that
there's,
I
think,
there's
maybe
perhaps
a
little
skepticism
in
the
marketplace
about
whether
now
is
the
time
to
join
the
bpda
in
a
moment
of
transition.
I
think
and
arthur
and
myself-
and
I
think
the
entire
team
would
emphatically
say
now-
is
the
time.
In
fact,
it
is
the
best
time
to
join
the
team
and
be
part
of
shaping
planning
and
development
for
the
next
generation
of
boston.
So
we're
really
excited
to
get
that
recruiting
message
out
there.
E
N
F
B
Through
the
chair,
I
would
only
add
devon
covered
all
the
hr
matters
very
well.
I
would
just
add
one
other
thing,
which
is
I
I
don't
think
I
said
this
earlier,
but
I
did
want
to
make
sure
you
you
heard
it
so,
as
we
are
beginning
to
have
conversations
with
developers
about
the
plan
being
the
guiding
document.
You
know
we
need
all
the
hands
and
voices
we
can
get
to
do
that.
B
B
N
Yeah
I
look
forward
to
that
work.
I
mean
the
number
one
thing
that
I've
heard
from
all
stakeholders
is
just
predictability
right.
We
have
those
guardrails
up
so
that
when
developers,
I
think
so
I'm
visual
person
when
developers
bowl,
they
know
exactly
what
they're
going
to
get
and
they're
they
stay
in
the
lane
that
they're
supposed
to
so
look
forward
to
that,
and
thank
you
for
that
answer.
I'm
happy
to
hear
that
we're
going
to
be
paying
people,
hopefully
more
money
after
this.
This
study.
B
So
I
had
a
very
intense
briefing
earlier
this
week
last
week
about
charlestown
we're
reaching
a
pretty
important
inflection
point
there.
I
know
a
little
bit
less
about
east
because
we
haven't
had
the
pardon
me
in
east
boston
because
they
haven't
had
the
briefing
there,
but
I
expect
us
to
sort
of
you're
going
to
see
us
in
the
next
30
to
60
days
back
out
on
charlestown
engaging
people
in
the
community
about
what
the
plan
is.
B
There's
a
lot
of,
I
would
also
say,
maybe
without
giving
you
a
direct
answer,
because
I
don't
have
it
yet.
I
would
also
say
that
we
are
very
aware
of
a
range
of
development
proposals
that
are
very
wide-ranging
and
far-reaching
and
we
would
like,
if
we
like,
to
have
planning
led
development
review.
We've
got
to
get
that
plan
out
there
in
a
way
that
allows
the
guidance
of
those
the
development
review
of
those
projects.
B
N
N
Are
there
any
success
stories
that
you
want
to
highlight
here
anything
that
we've
been
able
to
extract
from
that
process?
I
know
that
everything
is
in
limbo,
but
I
would
love
to
hear
having
worked
on
this
with
counselor,
then
council,
edwards
and
councillor
bach.
I
just
would
love
to
hear
how
it's
going
from
your
perspective.
B
E
I
I
would
because,
as
you
know,
counselor
I've
been
the
director
of
real
estate
here
for
the
past
three
years,
I've
been
a
little
less
directly
involved
in
the
afh,
but,
and
I
think
it
is
a
national
leading
program,
I
think,
there's
been
a.
I
think.
A
lot
of
other
communities
are
looking
to
boston's
leadership
here
and
and
this
county
this
council
did
a
lot
of
work
to
put
that
program
together.
So
while
I
don't
have
any
stories
at
my
fingertips
to
share
with
you,
I
think
those
do
exist.
A
B
B
No
sweat
the
we
have
a
community
engagement
section
of
the
agency
whose
job
it
is
to,
I
think,
enhance
the
existing
community
process,
but
there's
a
number
of
statutory
and
regulatorily
required
processes
related
to
the
review
of
projects
where
community
meetings
are
required.
I
think
the
vision,
at
least,
is
that
the
community
engagement
team
is
supposed
to
work
in
concert
with
the.
B
E
E
E
E
Taking
the
last
question
first,
I
think
the
the
rush
to
rfps
really
has
to
do
with.
We
don't
want
to
rush
anything.
The
perception
is
russian.
We
need
to
do
better
engagement,
but
if
there
is
a
perceived
rush,
it
is
because
of,
I
think,
our
need
on
our
our
mission
deliver
public
land
for
public
good.
We
have
this.
We
have
this
incredible
resource,
which
is
vacant
land
in
some
of
our
communities,
and
that
should,
and
it
shouldn't
be
vacant.
E
It's
it
is
that
it's
not
it's
not
doing
anything
productive
for
our
communities
as
vacant
land.
So
it's
an
opportunity
for
community
gardens
for
open
space
for
new,
affordable
housing
for
new
market
rate
housing
for
new
new
job,
creating
projects,
and
it
is
really
important
to
us
to
move
those
productively
forward.
E
We
have
to
do
that
in
a
way,
and
then
we
part
of
public
land
for
public
good,
is
listening
to
communities
and
and
developing
it
in
a
with
a
shared
vision.
So
we
have
to.
We
have
to
be
responsive
to
building
that
vision
together,
but
at
the
same
time
we
I
think
we
all
know
there's
a
lot
of
engagement
happening
across
all
of
our
communities.
So
the
work
back
to
the
sort
of
like
overwhelming.
D
E
Of
it
all,
I
think
that
you
know
yeah
counselor,
clutter
up
previously
is
very
predictable
and
that's
something
we've
heard
across
the
board.
That
is,
if
there
is
that
is.
That
is
one
of
the
words
that
should
drive
the
changes
that
we
want
to
make
to
the
agency
to
make
things
more
predictable,
so
that
perhaps
some
things
don't
require
the
same
level
of
community
process
so
that
we
all
sort
of
already
have
established
what
the
what
the
outcome
goals
should
be,
and
we
can
trust
that
the
system
will
deliver
that
without
the
need.
E
A
Put
before
us,
I
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
you.
Thank
you
for
that
answer.
We
want
a
full
inventory
of
what's
going
on
in
d7
in
terms
of
what
stages
they're
they're
in
and
if
you
could
send
that
to
me,
that
would
sort
of,
I
guess
save
time,
and
we
want
to
be
able
to
assess
what
the
community
needs
without
a
proper
asset
mapping
or
deficit
mapping.
We're
not
able
to
actually
tell
you
yeah,
you
can
put
an
affordable
rental
property
over
here
right.
A
A
A
If
you're
going
to
build
affordable
rental.
There's
this
huge
push
back
and
they
are
now
coordinating
and
organizing
to
push
back
because
they
believe
that
they
that
roxbury
black
people
deserve
quality
of
life,
that
we
deserve
public
land
for
public,
good
parks
and
urban
farms
and
other
types
of
spaces
where
we
can
go
and
decompress
our
stressors,
not
just
affordable
rental,
which
further
perpetuates
poverty
in
our
community.
A
And
so
the
problem
with
d7
is
that
all
of
these
rfps
are
out
and
they're
going
out
fast
and
roxbury
and
district
7
south
end
does
not
want
them,
and
I
know
this
because
I
sit
with
over
40
plus
civic
engagement
leaders,
who
tell
me
they
don't
want
this,
because
this
is
the
general
the
majority
consensus
in
each
civic
engagement,
neighborhood
groups.
We
know
that
we're
willing
to
do
a
survey
to
give
you
that
response,
not
developers,
we're
talking
about
people
that
get
displaced.
A
So
if
it's
public
land
for
public
good,
then
how
are
you
ensuring
that
black
people
get
housed
when
these
developments
go
up?
You
can't
because
then
you'll
say
it's
discriminatory
right.
Well,
isn't
that
the
whole
point
that
you're
trying
to
undo
a
harm
that
has
been
done.
So
I
guess
my
final
question
and
I'll
go
back
to
my
colleagues
is:
how
are
you
how
how
does
70
ami
help
district
7
if
the
ami
and
roxbury
is
30.?
A
How
does
if
how
is
deep,
how
why
are
you
calling
it
deeply
affordable
when
it's
60
ami
that
doesn't
make
sense
either?
Why
is
this
a
thing
and
how
will
you
ensure
that
roxbury,
black
people,
and
particularly
because
we
know
that
they're
at
the
bottom,
are
not
being
displaced
when
you're
building
and
continue
to
build
in
d7.
B
So
there's
a
lot
of
questions
there
I
mean
we
can
go
through
them
individually.
If,
if
you'd,
like
I
mean,
I
think
the
the
challenge
with
ami
is,
is
that
I
think
if
I
recognize
your
comment,
you're
saying
amis
are
very
high
and
relatively
speaking,
relative
to
roxbury
d7
incomes,
and
so
I
I
don't
want
to.
B
I
want
to
make
sure
I'm
I'm
listening
and
I
want
to
presume
the
I
think
the
notion
you're
saying
is:
it
should
be
lower
if
we
should
target
lower
income
households
in
on
d7
bpda
owned
property.
If
that's,
if
that's
the
input
you're
sharing
with
us,
I
definitely
want
to
absorb
that
and
the
second
question.
A
B
Got
it
I
appreciate
that
point:
it's
been
it's
a
point,
I'm
very
familiar
with
a
lot
of
the
city.
Old
land
is
in
roxbury
in
district,
seven
historically
has
been,
and
so
this
is
a
a
comment
that
I've
heard
before
and
I
appreciate
hearing
it
today.
This
has
been
at
least
for
me
as
a
newer
person
to
the
dyess.
A
You,
I
guess,
streamlining
that
pro,
that
community
process
creating
the
schedule,
so
it's
not
duplicating
it's,
not
overlapping
other
community
processes
or
meetings
and
making
sure
that
people
are
not
feeling
overwhelmed.
I
had
a
meeting
yesterday
now
I'm
going
to
this
one
now,
there's
one
at
night,
there's
a
lot
of
that
going
on
too,
and
I
guess
just
in
terms
of
your
staff
and
top
paid.
You
know
salary
earners.
My
colleagues,
council,
calera
and
casa
lujan
mentioned
this,
but
you
know
it's
not
enough
to
just
say
like
we
haven't
done
a
good
job.
A
J
Yeah
I
mean
I,
I
would
argue
that
we
should
look
beyond
the
35
yeah.
I
think
that
we
should
have
a
long-term
vision
and
commitment
to
racial
diversity
up
and
down
the
supply
chain
of
not
just
the
bpda
owd
city
agencies,
but
who
we
work
with
and
who
comes
to
do
business
in
boston,
so
yeah.
We
love
it.
Okay,
we
wanna.
A
H
Probably
devin,
with
with
the
dorchester
bay
city
plan
over
over
at
umass
there
there
was.
There
was
an
effort
to
have
a
transportation
sort
of
group
convening
regularly
and
I'd
just
like
to
know
where
that
is.
Is
that
group
still
convening
between
state
stakeholders
and
and
the
developers
that
were
all
in
the
area?
Is
that
still
talked
about
it?
All?.
E
I
I
believe
it
is
counselor.
I
think
this
isn't
one
of
those
projects
that
I
was
not
super
familiar
with.
As
my
role
as
director
of
real
estate,
my
christopher
and
his
team
are
briefing
chief
jemison
and
I
on
all
the
statuses
of
the
of
planning
projects
and
all
the
large
development
projects
in
the
city.
So
that's
an
answer
we
can
get
to.
In
short,.
H
Order
well,
the
reason
why
I
ask
is
because
you
know
if
we're
planning,
to
put,
I
think,
it's
six
million
square
feet
of
development
over
there
between
the
point
and
santander
and
all
the
other
and
all
the
other
stuff
with
the
vehicle
traffic.
That's
going
to
come
in
with
the
foot
traffic
that's
coming
in
the
area.
Isn't
it
is,
has
some
challenges
as
far
as
transportation
is
going
and
my
my
concern
is
more
about
how
do
we,
the
people
that
live
in
the
neighborhood?
H
How
do
we
get
from
on
the
other
side
of
the
highway
on
the
other
side
of
the
tracks?
How
do
we
get
over
to
everything?
That's
good!
That's
going
that's
happening
and
going
to
be
happening
at
at
the
point.
So
I'd
like
to
know
that
we
have
a
commitment
there,
I'm
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
what
our
commitments
are.
They
seem
to
be
a
moving
target.
E
Absolutely
so
in
terms
of
answering
that
question
counselor,
that
is
absolutely
something
we
can
commit
to
that's
exactly
what
our
role
should
be
and
able
to
convene
a
process
and
talk
to
you
and
others
that
this
this
is
the
the
vision
for
that
site
this
and
how
it
aligns
with
the
community
process
to
date
and
where
the
project
that's
been
proposed,
where
it
matches
and
does
not
align
with
that
vision.
So
I
know
where
the
scoping
document's
being
put
together.
G
H
H
H
You
know,
maybe
we
maybe
we
get
a
hundred
million
dollar
bond
bill
that
can
go
towards
infrastructure
improvements
and
in
in
I
want
to
talk
more
about
how
we,
the
people
living
there
going
to
get
across
the
train
station
across.
How
are
we
going
to
get
there
less
about
the
vehicles
being
able
to
come
from
point
a
to
point
b
most
efficiently
through
my
neighborhood,
you
know.
Is
it?
Is
it
a
transportation
bond?
Is
it
a?
H
H
E
H
E
E
I
mean
that
program.
I
believe
it
does,
but
it
doesn't
mean
this
couldn't
be
crafted
in
a
different
way
and
another
model.
That's
in
the
council
of
breden's
district
is
the
the
I
believe
it's
called
the
albright
ownership
fund,
where
the
austin
brandon
cdc
uses
a
recycling
pot
of
funds
to
purchase
homes
that
are
on
the
market
that
are
vacant.
Put
a
how.
E
Just
people
who
are
moving
out
like
people
home
ownership
units
people
are
moving
out
to
compete
with
developers
who
might
buy
it
and
rent
it
buy
it
put
an
owner,
occupancy
restriction
on
it
and
then
resell
it
at
a
market
rate
which
is
now
slightly
reduced.
But
now
you
know
that
and
there's
going
to
be
an
owner
living
there
rather
than
someone
renting
it
out,
so
there's
different
different
models
by
which
the
the
city
is
either
participating
or
assisting
with
the
participation
in
the
real
estate
market
for
social
goods.
H
Yeah,
well
I
mean
I
would
like
to
go.
I
would
like
to
go
beyond
housing.
I
would
like
to
I
mean,
because
it's
transportation
issues
there
that
we,
you
know
and
again
back
to
the
person.
My
mother
always
said
to
me,
if
you're
trying
to
get
if
you're
trying
to
figure
something
out
like
walking,
someplace
pretend
you
want
you,
you
you're
pushing
a
carriage
yep.
So
can
you
get
from
point
a
to
point
b,
pushing
a
carriage
without
getting
run
over
by
a
car.
E
H
You
know
so
that's
a
lot
of
the
challenges
that
we
have
there.
So
what
is
our
commitment?
Moving
forward
to
that
area?
Are
we
actively
and
these
are
you
don't
need
to
answer
these?
I'm
just
laying
it
out
here,
probably
more
for
you
arthur,
so
you
know
for
for
moving
forward.
Are
we
committed
to
real
transportation
trans
transformation
in
the
in
that
area?
B
H
B
I
I
don't,
I
don't
know
the
narrow
answer
to
that.
I
think
you
know
when
it
was
held
up
to
white,
that
you
know
one
neighborhood
was
going
to
benefit
from
the
the
revenues
of
of
of
a
part
of
that
neighborhood
and
in
that
that
into
something
on
the
scale
of
what
you've
seen
in
the
sea
in
the
in
south
boston
waterfront.
So
far
it
was
it
not
only
had
legal
issues.
There
were
sort
of
questions
about
whether
that
was
fair
to
the
rest
of
the
city.
Again,
that's
going.
B
I
would
also
say
that
I
think
later
this
week,
I'm
getting
a
briefing
on
the
on
what's
possible
at
dorchester
bay
city
and
when
you
think
about
the
things
you've
mentioned,
I
mean
every
one
of
them
mike
christopher
and
the
rest
of
the
team
at
the
development
of
you
have
already
briefed
me
on,
like
the
the
the
things
that
happening
at
mocley.
They
need
to
to
do
something
about
kazusko
the
fact
that
that's
one
of
the
area
adjacent
to
dorchester
base.
B
It
is
one
of
the
key
places
that
water
could
come
into
the
city,
and
so
I
think,
frankly,
there's
going
to
need
to
be
a
a
public-private
partnership
over
there
to
get
that
development
to
happen
and
include
these
key
or
either
down
payments
or
elements
entirely
of
these.
These
key
things,
because
the
great
news
is,
we
know
what
to
do.
It's
been
identified
in
concept
and
some
extent
priced
and
the
question
is:
how
do
we
get
it
into
the
eventual
project
that
gets
developed?
B
I
think
this
is
going
to
be
one
of
those
takes
of
village
conversations
where
we
say
to
accordia,
who
I
think
is
the
proponent,
yeah.
Listen.
We
have
these
known
things
that
have
to
happen
for
this
to
work.
What
contribution
are
you
making
and
then
how
do
we
create
an
agenda
for
the
state
and
for
other
resources
of
the
city
to
make
sure
that,
as
you
said,
someone
with
a
carriage
can
get
across
because
you're
raising
the
right
point.
H
I
And
thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
I'd
just
like
to
say
that
the
albright
home
ownership
fund
is
has
limited
utility
and
you're
still
sort
of
it's
helping.
Some
people
stabilize
our
home
ownership,
but
those
those
homes
are
bought
at
market
rate
and
they're
not
inexpensive.
So
I
I
you
know,
I
think
it's
we're
looking
at
any
and
all
our
to
look
at
every
tool
that
we
can
possibly
utilize
to
stabilize
our
community
and
get
get
more
home
ownership
opportunities.
I
Isn't
you
know,
due
to
the
land
scarcity,
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
increased
interest
in
developing
land
rights
over
over
over
a
transit
infrastructure
like
in
austin,
brighton
harvard
is
looking
to
have
air
rights
over
the
I-90
project
and
certain
you
know
to
in
the
area
of
what
new,
possibly
west
station
will
be
located.
I'm
just
wondering:
do
we
have?
I
E
My
limited
understanding
of
the
I-90
project
that
relates
to
air
rights
has
to
do
with
the
financial
modeling
associated
with
it,
because
it
is
outlandishly
expensive
to
do
air
rights
development,
and
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that,
in
our
conversations
with
the
federal
government,
the
state
and
harvard
around
what
can
happen
with
the
beacon
yards
project
and
the
relocation
of
I-90,
that
the
absolute
best
possible
benefits
flow
to
the
city
of
boston
and
that
we
pay
an
appropriate
share
for
it.
Because
there's
there's
a
capital
project
there.
E
That
chief
franklin,
hodges
team
will
be
responsible
for
implementing,
but
not
overpay.
For
that
right
and
preserve
our
dollars
for
the
great
programs
that
we
want
to
run
and
the
other
other
other
uses
in
the
mayor
and
city
council's
purview
where
our
dollars
can
flow.
So
I
I
would
say
we
are.
We
are
supporting
the
btd
team
with
the
consultants
to
understand
the
financial
implications
of
the
air
rights
project
and
the
permitting
implications
are
significant
as
well.
I
Very
good
and
then
impact
advisory
groups
like
they,
they
do
yeoman's
work
and
they
impact
looking
at
overseeing
all
our
article
ed
projects.
One
concern
we
have
right
now:
we've
got
about
23
projects
in
the
works,
and
we
we
did
asked.
We
did
a
file
in
17f
just
to
get
a
better
handle
on
who
who's
serving
on
iags-
and
you
know
I
think
bpda
has
hasn't-
doesn't
have
a
centralized
database
or
a
spreadsheet
that
keeps
track
of
everybody.
I
I
know
that
in
our
district
we
have
some
individuals
are
serving
on
about
11
to
19
iags
as
a
full-time
job.
I
also
wonder
how,
with
all
due
respect
to
the
the
efforts
they're
making,
how
you
can
possibly
review
that
number
of
projects
and
without
having
a
sort
of
a
it
begs,
a
question
and
the
other
issue
that
we're
trying
to
do
in
our
in
our
office
is
trying
to
diversify
the
representation
on
iag
so
that
we
have
a
broader,
more
representative
group
of
people
who
represent
the
neighborhood
better.
I
So
that's
a
work
in
progress,
so
we're
wondering
if
the
bpda
could
implement
a
more
centralized
record
retention
policy
with
iag
appointments.
So
that
we
can
actually
track
who
who's
serving
and
what
their
diversity
looks
like
and
just
to
get
a
better
handle
of
like
we
try
ourselves
to
keep
track
of
it,
but
it's
difficult.
The
other
issue
with
regard
to
iags
is
the
oversight
role.
I
They.
They
provide
a
critical
oversight,
role
to
help
guide
the
development
process,
and
I
really
feel
that
a
robust
iag
can
improve
a
project
really
dramatically
and
make
it
more
more
respect,
responsive
to
community
concerns.
So
I
was
just
wondering:
is
it
possible,
for
you
know
the
draft
cooperation
agreements
with
iag
members?
Iag
members
get
them,
but
our
district
councillors
would
also
love
to
see
those.
I
The
draft
community
benefits
agreements
that
that
the
memorandum
of
understanding
that's
written
ahead
of
and
getting
to
the
board,
because
we
can
give
some
timely,
timely
feedback
and
then
it's
also
our
job
to
sort
oversee
the
community
mitigation
and
see
that
it's
appropriate
and
and
see
if,
if
community
benefits
are,
are
targeted
in
a
way.
That's
that's
beneficial
to
the
neighborhood.
I
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
work
being
done
in
the
chinatown
and
and
councillor
coletta
has
issues
with
the
east
boston
and
the
the
airport,
especially,
and
we
have
the
I-90
coming
through
and
we
is.
Is
there
someone
doing
research
on
the
environmental
impacts
on
on?
You
know
more
on
dave
on
populations
outside
of
chinatown
and
east
boston,
like
just
thinking
along
the
southeast,
expressway
and
and
the
I-90
coming
into
boston.
There's
a
huge
number
hundreds
of
thousands
of
cars
that
come
in
every
day.
E
That's
to
take
the
last
question
first,
that
I
don't
know
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
I
believe
rich
mcginnis
who's,
our
deputy
director
for
climate
and
resilience
planning
who
probably
speak
eloquently
to
air
quality
studies
and
what
is
and
what
is
and
is
not
being
currently
studied
in
my
home.
So
that's
an
answer.
We
can
certainly
get
you
to
the
point
about
iags.
It
sounds
like
you
have
some
constituents
who
may
want
to
apply
for
some
of
our
open
jobs.
E
It
seems
like
they're
quite
quite
engaged
and
we're
happy
to
pay
them
for
our
services,
but
I
do
as
we've
been
hearing
from
constituents
and
even
staff
members
about
where
there
are
opportunities
for
reforms.
The
impact
advisory
group
process
is
something
that
has
come
up
numerous
times:
transparency
who's
serving
on
these,
and
what
is
the?
E
I
Thank
you,
and
let's
see,
there
was
one
more
climate
readiness
I
know
in
east
boston,
there's
rising
sea
levels
and
madam
chair
can
I
finish
of
course,
in
nelson
brighton.
You
know
we
have
the
possibility,
like
riverine,
fro
flooding
and
along
we're
on
the
charles,
the
flood
plain
of
the
charles,
a
good
chunk
of
all
this
land.
That's
going
to
be
developed
in
north
austin
is
on
the
floodplain,
so
stormwater
management
and
and
just
thinking
about,
I
know
the
first
place
we
go
with
regard
to
climate
impacts
is
sea
level
rising.
I
But
the
other
issue
is:
we've
is
storm
water,
storm,
water,
flooding
and
then
heat
the
heat
island
effect,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
it's.
Basically,
the
forest
it
also
in
brighton,
austin
doesn't
have
many
trees.
It's
a
it's
a
persistent
heat
island
problem,
so
thinking
about
the
impacts
like
really
insisting
and
working
with
developers
to
if
you're
developing,
as
previously
industrial
space
that
was
sort
of
asphalt
or
hard
top,
that
to
say
you're,
creating
green
space,
as
well
as
to
try
and
mitigate
some
of
these
heat
island
effects.
Going
forward.
E
And
absolutely-
and
I
know
that's
an
area
that
numerous
of
our
numero
numerous
planners
and
urban
designers
on
our
team
are
passionate
about
and
we
actually
have
landscape
architects
on
our
team.
Take
a
look
at
precisely
these
issues.
So
the
the
answer
is
overwhelmingly
yes,
but
the
I
think
the
details
matter
for
the
specific
planning
project
or
the
or
the
specific
development.
K
K
We
just
can't
do
that
in
our
eight
minutes,
so
I
guess
the
zero
net
carbon
building
zoning
you
guys
put
in
your
appendix
sort
of
the
timeline
on
that
I'm
slightly
antsy,
because,
although
I
think
the
timeline
hasn't
technically
slipped
and
that
you're
still
saying
that
you're
gonna
have
it
done
by
the
winter
like
the
end
of
this
year,
I
don't
feel,
like
I
at
least,
have
seen
a
lot
of
of
like
meetings
and
such
happening
in
the
last
few
months.
So
and
obviously
you've
been
in
a
time
of
transition.
K
B
Well,
I
guess
that
I'd
say
through
the
sheridan
councilmember
bach,
so
we've
got
a
lot
of
things
that
are
hovering
near
the
edge
of
zoning
and
we're
going
to
have
to
honestly
make
some
probably
tough
decisions
about
what
the
priorities
are.
There's
a
team
working
this
issue
and
I
expect
them
to
to
make
the
date
that
they
proposed,
but
I've
got
zoning
in
charlestown,
south
boston.
B
K
And
I
would
just
say
I
would
challenge
you
to
challenge
us
to
provide
political
support.
I
mean
to
some
extent
how
quickly
something
can
go
into.
Zoning
is
a
question
of
how
long
is
a
piece
of
string
right,
it's
all
about.
What's
the
resistance
and
what's
the
support,
and
and
can
it
and
to
me
it's
like
if
we
have
three
major
things
that
need
to
go
into
zoning
like
damn
it
they
can
all
go
in
in
the
same
meeting
like
I
just.
K
K
I
think
I've
been
conducting
my
own
informal
exit
interviews
whenever
you
lose
a
good
staffer
who
I
liked
working
with,
and
I
really
feel
like
the
external
perception
may
be
that
it's
been
the
uncertainty
at
the
agency,
but
my
ex-interview
suggest
that
it's
just
pay
like
over
and
over
again.
I've
had
multiple
conversations
with
really
good
people
who
are
at
your
agency,
who
have
said
I
would
have
loved
to
stay
it's
just
like.
K
I
couldn't
even
get
a
modest
raise,
and
these
other
folks
were
offering
me
more
and
it
wasn't
like
you
even
needed
to
match.
It
was
just
like
they're,
not
moving
close
enough,
so
just
really
want
to
underscore
that
that
seems
like
an
issue
you
know
like
every
imp
is
up
next
year.
Almost
all
of
them
are
in
my
district.
K
I
would
really
like
to
be
deeply
involved
in
how
we
reimagine
that
institutional
master
planning
process,
and
in
particular
you
know
to
dovetail
on
counselor
brandon's
point.
You
know.
I
also
think
that,
in
addition
to
questions
about
enrollment
numbers
questions
about
commitments
from
institutions
on
what
proportion
of
their
students
they're
requiring
to
live
on,
campus,
I
think,
are
really
important.
One
of
the
things
we've
seen
is
a
dynamic
where
dorms
might
get
built,
but
then
only
students
with
very
high
incomes
are
able
to
family
incomes.
K
The
way
that
we'd
like
them
to
so,
I
think
thinking
about
like
actual
programmatic
things
like
yeah
now,
not
just
the
freshmen,
but
also
the
sophomores,
have
to
live
on
campus
or
whatever
seems
like
an
important
piece
of
that
puzzle,
and
just
in
general,
I
think
our
institutions
could
be
asked
to
do
more,
and
I
think
we
saw
what
it
looks
like
when
they
do
do
more
in
the
coven
emergency.
That's
something
that
I
try
to
stress
is
it's
not
just
hypothetical.
K
I
think
a
lot
of
our
institutions
did
really
step
up
to
counselor
baker's
question.
I
think
the
legal
distinction
is
that
the
betterment
was
kind
of
just
like
a
general
fund
for
the
neighborhood,
whereas,
for
I
think,
what's
stood
up
better
is
things
that
are
tied
to
specific,
like
mitigation
related
to
the
impacts
of
projects,
so
my
sense
is
that
transportation
can
absolutely
fall
into
that
an
example
would
be:
we've
got
terra
street,
transforming
on
my
district
in
my
district.
From
light
industrial
to
residential,
this
is
in
mission
hell.
K
Similarly
in
fenway,
we
just
have
enormous
development
and
and
again
we've
been
getting
commitments
from
folks
per
square
foot
to
kind
of
like
fund
trent,
a
transformative
thing,
and
I
continue
to
need
more
city
help
pulling
together
all
of
the
stakeholders
on
fenway
transportation.
But
that's
something
to
follow
up
on
later.
K
I
think,
just
on
linkage
just
a
note
that
it
seems
to
me
like
we
need
to
be
thinking
about
linkage,
and
I
know
we're
thinking
already
about
a
different
rate
for
labs
and
we
need
that
because
there's
a
lot
more
profit
under
the
hood
on
the
labs
right
now,
but
I
think
it's
not
just
about
capturing
the
total
profit.
I
think
it's
also
this
tension
where
the
better
we
make
the
idp
policy,
the
more
that
we
may
drive
people
to
then
just
flip
from
residential
to
lab
or
commercial
because
they're
like
well.
K
I
don't
have
to
do
this
idp
thing
if
I'm
over
on
this
side-
and
so
I
think
part
of
the
goal
has
to
be
to
have
a
linkage
policy
that
sort
of
equalizes
for
that,
so
that
you're
not
incentivized
to
flip
from
residential
to
lab
because
it
doesn't
have
idp,
because
linkage
is
so
much
larger
that
basically
like
it
ends
up
being
a
wash
right.
So
I
just
would
flag
that
there
does
seem
to
me
to
be
a
real
relationship
as
we
try
to
drive
use
decisions.
K
Lifestyle
everyone's
talked
about
the
workforce
development
super
important
having
a
strategy
making
everyone
pay
into
the
strategy,
it's
kind
of
the
same
thing
with
transfer
transportation.
It's
like
how
does
the
city
with
you
as
the
planning
chief?
How
do
we
move
from
at
this
snapshot
moment
in
time?
K
The
right
insightful
community
member
has
to
be
in
the
room
and
go.
We
need
a
speed
bump
right
there
and
then
the
developer
who's
trying
to
get
the
thing
across
the
line
goes
okay,
I'll
pay
for
a
speed
bump
right
there,
and
then
it's
like
voila.
You
have
a
speed
bump
there
and
like
sometimes
it's
nice
you're
like
hey,
we
achieved
that,
but
it's
so
random
and
I
think
it
gives
people
this
feeling
of
like
randomness
it's
like,
and
it
also
creates
the
anxiety
counselor
french
anderson
was
talking
about
of.
K
Like
did
I
go
to
the
right
meeting?
Did
I
say
the
right
thing
and
I
feel
like
what
we
need
is
more
of
a
thing
where
all
of
our
developers
are
sort
of
paying
predictably
and
substantially
into
these,
like
public
mitigation
needs,
and
then
we're
really
quarterbacking
what
needs
to
get
provided?
Whether
it's
transportation
or
this
like
a
serious
lab
ecosystem
for
workforce
development
for
our
kids,
especially
our
black
and
brown
kids
folks
coming
out
of
bps,
like
I
just
feel
like.
K
That's
the
that's
the
quarterbacking
role,
where
I
feel
like
the
agency-
has
been
stuck
ushering
projects
through
the
development
process,
instead
of
playing
that,
like
quarterbacking
role
and
turning
the
projects
into
like
handmaidens,
for
like
our
goals
right-
and
that
is
the
transformation
that
I
fundamentally
hope
you
will
be
able
to
achieve.
We'll
follow
up
on
urban
renewal.
K
You
know
I
have
a
bunch
of
specific
things
about
how
that
data
is
presented
to
the
council
and
how
we
kind
of
move
forward
on
analyzing
that
over
this
year
I
said
this
at
the
schools
hearing
this
morning,
but
I
really
think
bpda
and
schools
need
to
get
more
joined
up
so
that
again
we
can
be
making
those
development
asks
related
to
kidneys
for
our
schools
and
then
the
last
thing
is
just
to
say
that
I
am
going
to
follow
up
on
those
mclaughlin
park.
Parcels
devon.
K
You
answered
my
email,
so
thank
you
for
that.
But
the
there's
a
couple
of
parcels
owned
by
vpda
they're,
small
they're,
actually
literally
adjacent
to
an
existing
urban
wild
they're,
extremely
vertical
they're
filled
with
old
growth,
trees
on
mission
hill
and
like
they
should
just
get
folded
into
the
urban
wild
that
they're
connected
to,
but
technically
they're
sort
of
sitting
there
in
the
agency's
hands
and
it
makes
the
tenders
of
the
urban
wilds
anxious
and
I
just
think
we
should
like
move
them
formally
into
park's
custody.
K
N
The
floor,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
also
this
is
going
to
be
a
lightning
round
for
me
because
I
have
to
get
going,
but
I'm
just
so
grateful
for
everybody
uplifting
all
the
great
work.
That's
happening
in
east
boston,
so
thanks
everybody,
neighborhood
housing,
trust
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
N
We
went
through
that
together
there
are
still
some
kinks.
I
would
love
to
hear
offline.
How
that's
going
not
now.
Don't
worry
about
that
and
just
grateful
for
my
colleague
councillor
bach
talking
about
incentivizing
builders
to
stay
in
the
housing
space
rather
than
lab
space,
because
we're
already
seeing
that
suffolk
down
so
underscoring
that
and
then
love
the
push
to
to
quarterback
appropriate
mitigation
for
our
neighborhoods.
I
often
feel
like
our
office
is
pushing
one
thing
when
it
comes
to
development
and
then
the
bpd
is
pushing
another
thing.
N
You
know,
if
is
it
traffic
calming
measures?
Oh
no,
we
want
more,
affordable
housing.
Can
we
all
just
get
on
the
same
page?
So,
let's
make
sure
that
we
have
good
lines
of
communication
through
project
managers.
Whoever
just
put
me
in
the
right
direction
on
that
I
was
going
to
get
into
waterfront
planning,
but
arthur
you've
been
here
for
two
weeks.
I
would
love
to
talk
to
you
at
some
point
about
waterfront
planning.
N
I
mean
we
need
to
start
planning
for
the
inclusion
of
everybody
and
there's
a
way
to
do
it,
where
we're
protecting
blue
jobs
that
are
dependent
on
maritime
industrial
use,
while
also
trying
to
build
housing
that
is
inclusive
of
everybody,
while
also
making
sure
that
we're
meeting
our
climate
ready
goals,
while
also
making
sure
that
we
have
inclusive
business
spaces.
So
just
letting
that
you
know
be
said
on
record
and
that
it's
it's
a
priority
for
me,
so
understood
that.
B
I'm
eager
to
I'm
eager
to
sit
down
with
you
and
talk
about
it.
I've
had
some
experience
with
the
east
boston
waterfront
as
a
mass
former
mass
sport
person
and
I'd
love
to
talk
to
you
about
about
all
the
issues
you
mentioned
in.
Getting
that
venn
diagram,
the
space
that
they're
shared
among
all
those
issues.
A
A
F
F
A
So
I
look,
I
always
look
forward
to
her
testimony
we'll
come
back
to
her
counselor
mejia
would
like
to
know.
The
bpa
requires
proponents
of
large
projects
in
boston
to
submit
a
large
access
plan.
Can
you
talk
through
who
reviews
a
language
access
plan
and
what
is
done
to
ensure
that
it
complies
with
city,
state
and
federal
guidelines.
A
Thank
you.
A
major
complaint
we
hear
in
iag
and
developing
meetings
across
the
city
is
that
residents
who
show
up
to
those
meetings
only
heard
about
only
heard
about
it
from
a
friend
or
neighbor,
and
while
developers
claim
that
they
handed
out
flyers
in
their
neighborhood,
nobody
from
the
neighborhood
can
ever
back
that
up.
A
E
E
One
being
needs
significant
improvement,
five
being
absolutely
exceptional,
one
of
the
top
performers
in
the
agency
on
that
metric.
There
things
like
teamwork,
responsiveness
and
quality
of
work,
et
cetera,
and
so
those
are
the
sort
of
standard
criteria
for
performance
assessments.
In
addition,
a
more
qualitative
assessment
is
done
on,
based
on
performance
against
the
goals
that
the
employee
and
their
manager
set
out
for
them
at
the
at
the
at
the
end
of
the
previous
review
period.
So
that's
that's
in
a
nutshell.
How
that
how
that
system
works.
A
Okay,
thank
you
last
question.
She
has
is
another
comment
we
hear
often
from
a
large
number
of
iag
members
and
people
looking
to
serve
on
iags
is
that
it
is
always
the
same
subject
and
that
we
are
letting
people
who
already
have
housing
decide
what
housing
should
look
like
for
people
who
don't
currently
have
housing.
In
that
neighborhood.
A
E
That
that's
a
really
insightful
question
from
the
counselor
and
excited
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
that,
because
I'm
I
wasn't
actually
familiar
with
that
hearing,
so
blending
I'm
excited
to
go.
Look
it
up.
I
don't
believe
we've
made
any
substantive
changes
to
iags
over
the
past
year,
given
all
the
transition
work,
but
we
are,
as
already
mentioned,
looking
at
doing
that
in
the
in
the
near
future.
H
H
No
well
she
mentioned,
but
when
she
was
citing
what
she
did
in
her
district,
it
was
sounded
like
one
street,
so
I
don't
know
and
the
so
so
if
I
were
to
do
a
diff
to
do
a
transportation
bond,
can
you
only
do
a
transportation
bond?
There
are
other
bonds
you
can
do
like.
If
I
wanted
to
help
finance
a
failed
house
in
columbia
point
could
I
do?
Could
I
do
that?
H
E
H
E
I
think
a
maybe
a
broad
scale
answer
to
that
question
is
there
there
are
lots
of
new
creative
financing
mechanisms
that
are
available
in
the
marketplace,
social
impact
investing,
I
think,
being
one
of
them,
but
there's
also
traditional
financing
mechanisms
for
development
that
we
could.
We
could
look
to
if
it's
appropriate
tax.
H
Tax
revenue
generating
property.
What
the
nature
of
the
project
is,
it's
a
basically
a
boys
and
girls
club.
That's
going
to
encompass
indoor
fields,
outdoor
fields,
classrooms,
performance,
centers
spaces,
where
kids
in
wheelchairs
can
you
know
like
so
we're
looking
to
go
at
the
future
holistically
and
deal
with
deal
with
a
whole
lot
of
situations
that
have
happened
in
covet.
So.
E
Amazing
project-
and
I
I
think
what
I
listen
people
want
to
communicate-
is
that
that
sounds
like
a
project
that
doesn't
isn't
going
to
finance
itself
right.
It's
going
to
it's
not
going
to
have
a
revenue
generating
component
or
if
it
is
it's
very
small,
so
you
don't
have
money
to
borrow
against
or
tax
revenues
to
borrow
against,
so
it
needs
outside
subsidy
sources
and
and
then
we'd
be
happy
to
work
with
you
and.
H
So
fundraising,
fundraising
and
we're
going
I'm
going
after
opera
money
also
through
here
unable
to
get
any
kind
of
answer
the
state
has
committed
the
state
has
committed.
So
I'm
wondering,
can
I
take
this
matter
into
my
own
hands
and
say:
okay,
I
want
to
bond.
I
want
to
transportation
social
bond
that
will
give
30
million
dollars
to
this
field.
E
H
You
know
what
I'm
saying
fair,
so
we
could
talk
first
or
when,
when
we
do
talk
about
what
I
should
be
doing,
because
the
amount
of
development
that's
happening.
That's
when
I
talk
about
capturing
future
revenue,
that's
not
even
getting
into
glover's
corner,
which
is
about
70
acres
right
down
around
the
corner.
H
So
for
my
area,
you
know,
I
think
it's
incumbent
on
myself
for
the
person
that
comes
after
me
or
representatives,
whoever
they
are,
whoever
they
be
to
try
and
capture
some
of
them,
some
of
those
dollars
to
keep
some
of
the
money
in
the
naval.
But
it's
also
I'm
also
not
looking
to
keep
all
the
dollars
in
the
neighborhood,
because
I
do
believe
if
there's
a
housing
component,
you
get
large
numbers
of
dollars
in
housing.
You
can
you
can
build.
H
B
H
H
Going
to
do
so,
that's
going
to
save
a
person's
life.
Potentially
I
mean
that's
hypothetical,
but
we're
going
to
be
saving
lives
is
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
not
to
get
on
our
soapbox,
but
the
memorandum
of
understanding,
that's
where
that's
where
we
direct
the
developer
money,
the
mouse
now
that
just
directs
mitigation,
because
the
idp
money
would
go
to
housing,
trust
and
job
trust,
correct.
E
H
E
That's:
okay!
We
we
are
allowed
to
have
a
boston
preference
for
housing,
but
I
think
you're,
probably
speaking,
to
a
more
specific
neighborhood
focus,
and
we
did
several
years
ago
now,
when
I
was
working
on
chief
dylan's
team,
we
did
work
on
implementing
a
neighbor,
neighborhood
diversity,
preservation,
preference
and
that
that
was
an
attempt
to
try
to
within
the
guidelines
of
fair
housing
law
and
not
to
perpetuate
segregation.
E
H
Well
that
perpetuates
dr
locke
is
supposed
to
be
doing
a
neighborhood
preference
and
zero
two
one.
Two
five
is
the
most
diverse
district.
The
most
is
diverse,
zip
code
in
the
country.
That's
what
I've
been
told.
I
can't
point
to
any
study
that
that
actually
tells
me
that
so
are
you
familiar
with
john
clark?
Are
you
familiar
with
the
with.
H
J
Yeah
I
mean
I
can
talk
to
you
offline
with
it
as
well
and
send
you
materials.
If,
if
I
may
it's,
you
know,
we've
been
working
on
it
for
quite
some
time
since
last
year,
it's
from
the
economic
development
agency
called
the
eda
good
jobs
grant.
It
is
a
competitive
grant
that
any
city
municipality
nonprofits
can
go
after
and
in
the
state
of
massachusetts,
11
applications,
and
I
think
we
were
one
of
three
applicants
from
the
boston
area.
Ours
is
a
regional
plan
just
because
it
makes
it
more
competitive.
J
H
F
J
That's
an
average
cost.
Every
every
track
is
very
different.
That
is
not
an
unusual
number.
It's
based
from
the
math,
the
state's
massachusetts
training
per
cost
unit,
so
they
run
the
numbers.
We
can't
use
that
for
all
people
that
we
serve
different
ages,
different
economic
barriers,
but
that
is
a
standard
that
we
use.
We
match
it
with
some
kind
of
standard.
H
And
I'm
just
gonna
say
the
same
thing:
I've
been
saying
for
a
while.
You
know
we
need
brick
and
mortar.
We
need
places
where
we
can
direct
people
that
are
ours.
You
know
we.
We
need
to
stop
building
infrastructures,
not
platforms,
not
websites.
We
need
to
start
building
brick
and
mortar
and
bringing
people
in
you
don't
need
to
even
research.
J
No,
but
I
do
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
do
want
to
echo
that
value
statement,
as
the
chief
in
the
leadership
team
has
stated
that
development
has
to
happen
with
people
and
people
means
jobs
and
housing
and
quality
of
life,
and
that
you
know
I
have
been
been
invited
and
have
been
active.
Members
of
you
know
this
conversation
on
quality
of
life
as
the
city
develops,
and
that
includes
job
training,
career
pathways
and
other
indicators
that
promotes
inclusivity
and
also
quality
life
for
residents
in
and
around
boston.
We
still
need
brick.
A
O
O
Insufficient
parking
ratios
are
being
specified
by
the
vpda
transportation
group
in
developments
near
small
business
districts
as
a
result,
small
business
owners,
which
each
of
these
projects
have
to
take
time
to
build,
strengthened
numbers
gather
together
and
provide
testimony
at
the
zoding
board
about
insufficient
parking
ratios
in
my
community,
the
parking
department,
I'm
sorry,
the
boston,
transportation
department
itself
acknowledges
that
customers
need
parking
in
our
spa.
Small
business
areas
not
only
are
zoning
code
violations
being
built
in
the
transportation
group
is
seemingly
not
following
its
old
standards.
O
In
essence,
they
are
promoting
large
article
80
guidelines
in
small
projects
near
residential
areas,
and
we've
talked
about
predictability.
We've
talked
about
consistency,
there's
no
predictability
and
consistency.
When
this
happens
and
just
to
note
that
affordable
units
are
far
fewer
than
the
60
percent
in
these
buildings,
so
community
members
have
questions.
O
One
are
the
bpda
and
btd
developing
new
or
modified
parking
standards
for
all
new
large
and
small
development
projects?
Two.
If
so,
what
is
the
public
process
for
developing
these
standards
and
three
will
these
standards
be
voted
into
the
regulations
as
amendments
to
the
zoning
code
before
they
are
implemented?
Thank
you
for
hearing
my
testimony.
B
What
comes
out
of
those
neighborhood
plans
or
what
has
come
out
of
those
neighborhood
plans
already,
and
then
there
will
be
a
process
involving
community
outreach
that
also
involves
presentations
to
boards
and
commissions
about
the
adoption
of
those
parking
standards.
So
there's
a
process
attached
to
approving
those
plans.
Where
that
will
discussion
will
happen,
we
are
beat
this
btd
and
bpda.
I
mean
I'm
only
a
couple
weeks
in
here,
but
we've
already
had
pretty
robust
discussion
about
the
need
to
align
our
to
department's
views
on
parking
ratios.
B
It's
probably
not
for
this
particular
occasion,
but
the
discussion
about
the
need
for
for
lower
parking
ratios
is
one
that
it
sounds
like
you're
very
familiar
with,
and
the
arguments
for
and
against
are
probably
ones
you
know.
Well,
I
think
that
there's
going
to
be
a
a
robust
public
discussion
about
them
in
the
context
of
the
plans
and
the
zoning
associated
with
the
plans
and
I'm
confident
you'll
be
a
part
of
it
not
just
as
it
affects
your
neighborhood,
but
but
more
broadly.
A
Thank
you.
I
do
have
some
questions
and
in
the
interest
of
time
I
I'll
just
read
them
into
record
and
if
you
can
submit
them
the
answers
in
by
email,
so
I
can
send
them
to
the
constituents
who
sent
them
and
then
just
clarify.
If
some
of
the
questions
I've
noticed
that
it
just
may
be
lack
of
information.
A
A
A
I
guess
I
don't
know
if
it's
a
community
process,
but
I'm
a
hearing
to
begin
talking
about
how
to
determine
which
properties
are
being
willingly
neglected
and
which
are
being
neglected
due
to
lack
of
funds.
Are
there
any
characteristics
that
stand
out
as
ways
to
differentiate
between
the
two
types
of
properties?
I
think
the
remaining
of
these
questions
are
actually
directed
to
me
because
I
filed
something
to
explore
what
to
do
about
decrepit
properties
in
d7,
so
I
and,
as
I
read
they're
all
related
to
that
blighted
buildings.
A
So
I
appreciate
it
if
you
guys,
if
there
is,
if
there
is
a
thing,
if
you
can,
if
you
can
answer
that
by
email,
I
appreciate
it.
If
you
have
any
comments,
oh
shout
out
to
mike
christopher,
I
just
saw
you
thank
you
so
much
for
all
of
your
help
and
you're
you're
so
efficient,
always
so
responsible.
Thank
you
so
much
if
you
have
any
closing
comments
or
statements.
A
B
Through
the
chair,
I
would
just
say
to
yourself
all
the
council
members
in
the
audience.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
to
you
today
a
lot
of
great
questions.
We're
going
to
try
to
answer
the
ones
that
were
just
asked
in.
I
think
in
the
appropriate
form,
whether
that's
in
writing
or
another
medium,
but
but
appreciate
the
time
in
the
audience
with
you
today
and
look
forward
to
meeting
with
you
in
particular
among
all
the
others
in
person
and
following
up.
