Description
Boston City Council Meeting on November 18, 2020
A
A
D
E
You
so
much
I've
been
informed
by
a
clerk
that
we
have
a
quorum
present.
I
know
that
counselor
asabi
george
is
running
a
few
minutes
late
and
she
will
join
when
she
can
and
will
update
the
attendance
report
when
she
does
before
I
invite
counselor
campbell
to
come
up
and
introduce
our
clergy
for
today.
E
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge,
with
with
november
being
a
native
american
heritage
month,
that
it's
important,
that
we
do
a
land
acknowledgement
that
we
acknowledge
that
the
land
that
city
hall
sits
on
that
much
of
the
land
where
our
homes,
the
entire
you
know.
Commonwealth
of
massachusetts,
was
home
to
indigenous
people
and,
as
we
deal
with
our
own
kind
of
national
reckoning
around
race,
it's
important
to
realize
I'm
often
on
the
record
talking
about
400
years
of
receipts,
as
it
relates
to
the
african-american
experience
in
this
country.
E
But
it's
really
important
that
we
go
further
back
and
acknowledge
the
atrocity
that
happened
on
this
land,
which
allowed
this
country
to
form
and
be
created,
and
so
just
important
that
we
acknowledge
that
there
are
still
people
within
our
commonwealth.
Our
neighbors,
who
are
indigenous
to
this
land
and
who
have
similar
struggles
and
fights
around
justice,
and
we
know
that
we
can't
get
to
that
justice
until
we
really
do
some
soul
searching
and
healing.
E
So
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there,
and
I
want
to
appreciate
all
of
my
colleagues,
particularly
councilor,
braden
and
others
for
really
putting
this
forth.
It's
really
important
that
we
just
ground
ourselves
with
our
history
as
we
move
forward.
So
with
that
said,
I
would
like
to
invite
councillor
campbell
up
who
will
introduce
today's
clergy,
and
then
we
will
go
into
the
pledge
of
allegiance
and
to
our
special
presentations.
B
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
for
acknowledging
what
you
just
did
and
I
think
it's
quite
timely
and
perfect,
given
the
clergy
that
we
have
today,
who
gets
these
issues
in
a
very
deep
and
profound
way
and
is
challenging
the
church
and
all
of
us
who
call
ourselves
who
call
ourselves
believers
to
do
the
deep
work
and
to
talk
about
the
role
religion
has
played
in
much
of
this.
So
thank
you.
Madam
president.
It
is
my
honor
to
introduce
mako
nagasak
nagasawa

joining
us
today.

He

He

christian
education
and
ministry,
where
he
and
his

The

version,

new

bible-
and
he

honor,
shame
and
the
gospel.
B
He
is
just
an
incredible
leader
in
the
community
and
again
really
honored
to
have
michael
here
today,
and
I
will
have
you
take
over,
but
your
work,
your
podcasts,
your
writings
all
relevant
to
the
issues
of
racial
justice
that
we're
talking
about
and
that
our
president
just
spoke
of.
So
thank
you
for
joining
us
this
morning.
For
this
afternoon,.
F
Thanks
so
much
for
the
invitation,
councilor
campbell,
it's
great
to
see
you
and
I
I
hope
I
represent
you
and
your
district
well,
and
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
the
invitation
from
all
of
you,
city,
councilors
and
for
your
service.
I
know
these
are
these
are
hard
times
and
challenging
times
you
know
perhaps,
or
ordinary
issues
would
would
be
challenging
enough,
but
with
cohood.
F
I
just
want
to
express
my
thanks
that
to
you
for
serving
you
know
our
city
and
our
communities,
because
in
many
ways
you
know
trying
to
be
connected
and
stay
connected
with,
so
many
people
makes
you
an
essential
worker,
and
you
know
the
work
of
caring
for
for
our
city
goes
on,
and
I
just
so
appreciate
that
and
as
councilor
campbell
said,
you
know
I
I
I
am
a
christian
minister
and,
and
I
stand
in
the
christian
tradition,
I
was
asked
to
just
pray
for
for
this
particular
meeting
and
and
to
bless
each
of
you
in
your
service,
and
you
know
I
had
a
glance
at
the
agenda
just
so
you
know
I
can
appreciate
what
what
you're
doing-
and
you
know
a
lot
of
things
stood
out
to
me,
especially
caring
for
for
teachers.
F
You
know
maybe
most
of
all
and
their
retirement
because
they
obviously
are
are
caring
for
our
young
ones.
I
have
three
children
and-
and
we
all
have
to
think
about
the
future
of
our
city
and
the
future
of
our
the
larger
community
that
we're
part
of
so
I
just
wanted
to
read
from
isaiah
chapter
58,
verses,
11
and
12..
This
is
from
the
hebrew
bible
and
it
it's
just
a
beautiful
picture
of
the
work
of
restoration.
F
F
Your
people
will
rebuild
the
ancient
ruins
and
will
raise
up
the
age-old
foundations
and
you
will
be
called
repairer
of
broken
walls,
restore
of
streets
with
dwellings
with
homes
and
green
spaces,
and
things
that
remind
us
of
the
garden
of
eden
picture,
and
I
know
not
everyone.
You
know
it
would
would
identify
it
with
the
judeo-christian
tradition,
but
I
hope
that
the
images
themselves
are
compelling
enough
just
to
inspire
your
work.
F
For
you
know
this
day
and-
and
I
I
think,
the
the
the
poetry
of
this
passage,
which
is
in
in
context
and
you
can
go
back
and
and
check
it
out,
is
speaking
of
defending
people's
labor
rights.
F
I
mean
it's
fascinating
and
and
as
we
do
things
like
that,
the
the
picture
comes
alive
as
we
are
re-enacting
or
instantiating
or
or
remembering
what
the
garden
of
eden
might
be
like
if
we
were
to
restore
today,
and
so,
if,
if
you're,
if
you
don't
stand
in
that
tradition,
I
I
hope,
as
I
pray,
you
can
still
feel
blessed
and
participate
as
as
best
you
can
or
as
meaningfully
as
as
you
can
in
that
picture
and
because
it
really
is
for
for
me
a
picture
of
your
work
and
an
expression
of
my
thanks.
F
F
So,
lord
it
it
is
it's
a
great
honor
to
to
be
among
those
who
have
committed
to
serve
so
many
people,
and
I
pray
that
you
would
refresh
them
that
there
would
be
an
experience
in
them
during
this
meeting
and
and
afterwards,
where
they
feel
like
springs
of
water
are
welling
up
from
within
them
to
to
refresh
them
in
ways
that
replenish
their
energies
that
meet
their
thirst
and,
and
I
pray
that
you
would
bless
each
of
them
in
their
sense
of
purpose
and
meaning
and
significance
and
and
reward
them
for
the
the
service
they're
rendering
to
our
community.
F
We
do
pray
for
this,
the
whole
city
of
boston,
that
there
would
be
something
more
beautiful
that
happens
here
more
nourishing
to
people
that
hap
because
of
what
happens
here
and
and
we
pray
that
you
would
be
honored
and
be
pleased
with
what
you
see.
F
So
thank
you
again
for
this
work.
For
that
you,
you
would
bless
the
work
of
these
folks
and
their
hands
and
their
voices
and
their
thoughts.
F
Thank
you
for
their
families,
pray
that
you
have
blessed
them
this
day,
as
they
have
have
surely
been
participating
in
sending
these
these
counselors
and
representatives
here
to
serve
our
city,
even
even
if
it's
as
simple
as
just
making
a
quiet
space
in
their
home,
so
that
they
could
zoom
in
to
this
meeting.
F
We
thank
you
for
them.
We
thank
you
for
the
work
that
will
happen
here
and,
and
I
pray
that
you
bless
these
decisions
to
the
flourishing
and
and
the
lives
of
many
in
jesus.
E
Name,
amen,
amen,
amen.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
that.
That
wonderful
word
is
our
tradition
is
to
do
the
pledge
of
allegiance
and
you're
certainly
welcome
to
to
stay
on
pastor.
I
know
you're
busy,
so
I
invite
you
to
join
us
as
we
stand
for
the
pledge
of
allegiance
and
stay
on
for
as
much
as
you
can,
as
you
like,
but
feel
free
to
leave
after
the
pledge
of
allegiance.
Thank
you.
G
I
E
We
don't
do
these
often
since
we've
been
in
the
remote
zoom
world,
but
it's
important
that
we
take
time
to
to
recognize
those
unsung
heroes
in
our
community.
Before
I
bring
folks
up
for
a
special
presentation,
I'm
going
to
ask
our
clerk
just
to
amend
the
attendance
record.
I
see
counselor
isabe
george
has
joined
us,
madam
clerk.
If
you
could
amend
the
record,
I
our
first
presentation
is
to
the
boston
black
hospitality
coalition.
E
I
asked
my
colleague
and
sister
in
service
julia
mejia
councilman
here
to
join
me
in
presenting
a
resolution
that
I
hope
and
pray
my
colleagues
will
adopt
later
in
the
meeting.
So
the
resolution
is
on
our
agenda
for
us
to
vote
on
and
adopt.
E
We
certainly
will
be
seeking
suspension
of
the
rules
and
ask
our
colleagues
to
to
support
and
adopt
this
resolution.
Why?
I
thought
it
was
important
to
bring
this
resolution
for
folks
who
don't
know
the
boston
black
hospitality
coalition
is
a
coalition
of
people
who
are
in
obviously
the
hospitality
space.
So
many
of
our
restaurants,
our
lounges
our
bars.
E
We
know
I
don't
have
to
tell
my
colleagues
we've
been
on
several
calls
with
constituents
with
the
mayor
with
business
owners
themselves,
as
as
they
have
tried
to
navigate
through
this
pandemic
in
terms
of
covid
for
many
of
the
restaurants
in
my
district,
and
I'm
grateful
for
the
folks
who
are
here.
Certainly
cheryl
stratter
from
soleil
and
nia
grace
from
daryl's
are
both
district
seven
establishments
and
I'm
really
grateful
for
their
partnership.
E
But
just
a
little
bit
about
my
district.
My
district
as
folks
know,
is
roxbury
south
in
dorchester
and
fenway
and
for
some
of
the
businesses.
Many
of
the
businesses
in
my
district,
particularly
nubian
square,
which
has
been
in
transition
for
the
last
several
years,
and
there
have
been
business
owners
who
are
really
standing
in
that
gap.
E
They're
standing
in
the
gap
dealing
with
many
challenges
that
we
are
all
trying
to
solve
in
our
city
and
they
oftentimes
feel
alone.
E
I
I
don't
know
that
it's
been
enough,
but
fortunately
folks
came
together,
and
so
this
coalition
formed
because
they
saw
a
need-
and
they
came
together
to
provide
that
need
to
support
other
black
businesses,
particularly
in
the
restaurant,
the
hospitality
field,
to
make
sure
that
they
had
access
to
ppe,
that
everyone
understood
what
the
guidelines
are
and
really
to
make
sure
that
these
businesses
can
survive
through
covid
and
thrive
beyond
covid.
E
That
is
the
goal,
certainly
that
I
have
in
my
work,
trying
to
support
small
business
in
my
tenure
on
this
council,
and
I
recognize
that
for
many
of
the
businesses
of
color
black
owned
businesses
that
there
is
already
this
uneven
playing
field,
and
so
our
work
on
the
council,
as
well
as
the
work
of
the
coalition,
is
trying
to
level
that
playing
field
and
make
sure
that
black
business
owners
have
the
information
that
they
need
and
the
support
that
they
need
and
the
resources
that
they
need
to
not
only
stay
in
business
through
the
pandemic,
but
really
thrive.
E
And
so
I'm
really
grateful
grateful
grateful
that
we
have
folks,
like
nia
grace
from
daryl's
and
sheryl
stratter.
Two
amazing
women
entrepreneurs
who
are
doing
amazing
work.
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
mr
furman
is
also
on
this
call
as
part
of
the
coalition
he
owns
saver.
E
I
brought
this
resolution
forward
and
because
now
more
than
ever,
we
already
went
through
the
first
search.
We
had
to
kind
of
stumble
our
way
through
that,
as
best
we
could
as
a
city
as
a
council,
the
mayor's
office
as
as
entrepreneurs,
and
we
are
now
in
our
second
surge.
E
So
more
than
ever,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
taking
the
lessons
from
the
first
surge
and
we're
applying
them
that
we
are
not
just
reacting,
that
we're
being
proactive
and
our
support
to
these
entrepreneurs,
and
this
is
critical
if
we're
serious
about
closing
the
wealth
gap
in
boston,
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
everything
that
we
can
to
support
entrepreneurs,
particularly
our
restaurants,
who
we
know
are
suffering.
E
The
guidelines
are
changing.
Frequently
more
restrictions
are
coming
and
we
need
to
continue
to
support
and
make
sure
that
these
restaurants
will
be
here
for
the
long
term.
I'm
going
to
stop
now
because
I
want
to
bring
up
council
mejia
briefly
to
offer
a
few
words
and
then
we're
going
to
hear
briefly
from
the
coalition.
E
J
Now,
thank
you
so
much
council
president
janie
for
allowing
me
to
join
you
on
this.
I
I
feel
really
honored
that
you
reached
out
to
me
knowing
that
as
the
chair
of
small
business
and
as
someone
who's
deeply
committed
to
equity
and
issues
of
ensuring
that
those
who
are
in
most
in
need
are
front
and
center,
and
so
I
do
have
a
speech
for
when
we
do
the
resolution.
But
we're
going
to
be
brief.
J
So
I
hope
I
get
to
say
that
later,
but
right
now,
I'm
just
thanking
everyone
for
being
here
and
a
big
show
of
support
for
the
black
covet
coalition
as
well
in
the
hospitality
folks
who
have
been
here
every
day,
letting
us
know
how
we
can
be
of
service
here
in
the
city
of
boston.
J
So
I'll
save
my
remarks
for
the
official
situation
since
I
I
don't
want
to
take
up
any
more
time,
but
I'm
just
incredibly
grateful
for
your
partnership
and
for
the
opportunity
to
thank
them
publicly
for
how
hard
they
work
and
how
hard
they
go
for
those
who
need
it
most.
So
thank
you.
E
Thank
you
so
much
and
with
that
I'm
not
sure
who
will
be,
I
believe,
maybe
nia
I'd
like
to
invite
you
nia.
Is
it
nia
cheryl,
you
can
each
speak.
If
it's
very
very
brief,
I
don't
want
to
turn
anyone
away
since
there's
only
three
of
you
representing
the
coalition.
But
again
I
would
ask
that
you
keep
your
remarks
brief.
Thank
you.
So
much
nia
grace.
K
Yeah,
thank
you
well
just
on
behalf
of
the
coalition,
as
well
as
our
counterparts,
who
are
not
here
from
wally's
jazz
club
and
cafe
in
district
seven
tavern
we're
just
grateful
for
the
efforts
of
the
city
overall
in
recognizing
and
initially
even
starting
off
with
small
committees
that
would
address
small
businesses
and
then
particularly
restaurants,
just
in
general
trying
to
understand
our
needs-
and
you
know
how
we
could
collaborately
work
together
to
you
know
still
exist
during
a
pandemic.
K
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
appreciate
that
piece
and
then
charles
schroeder,
from
soleil
shall
actually
speak
more
for
our
behalf.
So
thank
you.
E
I
L
M
Thank
you,
I'm
ready,
so
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
on
behalf
of
the
boston,
black
hospitality
coalition.
Thank
you
for
the
recognition
of
the
work
that
we
do.
As
I
was
just
sitting
here,
it
was
funny
I
thought
of
a
metaphor.
It's
like
we're
swimming
upstream
at
times
to
keep
our
business
alive,
so
bear
with
me
by
using
the
food
analogy,
but
we
are
resilient.
Just
like
those
salmon.
You
know
we
come
in
every
day
facing
the
challenges
that
we
have
and
addressing
them
to
the
best
of
our
ability.
M
M
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
and
I
I
just
want
to
again
say
thank
you
for
your
your
commitment
to
our
communities
across
the
city
and
for
your
continued
effort
to
to
keep
your
businesses
afloat
and
to
really
thrive,
because
that's
what
makes
our
neighborhoods
so
vibrant,
it's
the
businesses
and
the
shops.
So
thank
you
for
being
here.
I
will
keep
us
moving
to
the
next
presentation.
E
I
know
our
guests
are
very
busy
in
their
day.
This
is
a
public
meeting,
so
you're
certainly
welcome
to
stay
on
but
understand.
If
you
have
to
leave
no
problem,
we
have
another
special
presentation
and
again
briefly,
I
thought
it
was
very
important
and
I
know
all
of
my
colleagues
agree
to
take
a
moment
to
recognize
a
neil
doherty
who
just
put
his
camera
on.
Thank
you.
Neil
neil
has
been
the
oh.
My
internet
is
unstable.
I'm
giving
a
heads
up.
I
hope
I'm
not
freezing
on
you.
Can
you
guys
hear
me?
E
Okay,
okay,
yes,
okay,
great,
so
neil!
You
have
been
around
since
I
got
here,
and
you
were
here
since
2017,
I
believe
in
this
role,
but
when
councilor
edwards
councillor
flynn
and
myself
all
started
on
january
1st
of
2018,
you
were.
There
certainly
made
my
life
easier
as
the
liaison
to
the
mayor's
office
for
the
council
and
understanding
navigating
this
building.
E
We
all
are
very
grateful
for
how
you
conducted
yourself
for
your
responsiveness
for
always
being
available
for
for
putting
up
with
the
drama
for
the
late
night
hearings
for
for
everything
that
you've
done
in
this
role.
I
know
we
said
a
few
words
when
we
acknowledged
and
welcomed
fernando
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
but
we
wanted
to
officially
recognize
you,
neil
doherty,
and
we
do
have
a
gift
for
you.
E
E
This
is
a
a
gavel
and
I
want
to
read
it
here.
Your
name
is
on
it.
It
says
neil
doherty
blossom
city,
council
liaison,
and
it
says
igr
with
the
dates
2017
to
2020,
but
the
stand
is
also.
I
L
E
Deepest
gratitude,
I
know
that
you
are
staying
on
and
that
you
will
continue
to
work
in
the
mayor's
office,
and
so
we
look
forward
to
being
able
to
continue
to
work
with
you
as
part
of
the
mayor's
team
and
just
really
grateful
for
all
of
your
work
with
this
council.
Thank
you
also
for
being
a
very
helpful
and
supportive
to
fernando
as
he
transitions
so
round
of
applause
for
neil
neil
will
leave
this
in
the
chamber,
for
you
leave
your
gift
in
the
city
council
chamber.
Thank.
N
E
F
N
No,
nothing
brevity
is
key,
but
thank
you
all
appreciate.
It
learned
a
lot
and
you
know
the
work
continues,
there's
so
much
to
do.
I
appreciate
everyone's
collaboration
throughout
covet

everything
else,
and
and
through
the
tough
votes
and
the
the
easy
votes.
It's
you
do
some
good
work
here
and
we
just
got
to
keep
working.
So
thank
you
all
and
again
fernando's
going
to
be
excellent

and
I
hope
you
treat
him
as
well
as

O
Thank
you
very
much.
Madam
president,
dockett0981
was
sponsored
by
councillor
savvy
george
and
referred
to
the
committee
on
september
16
2020..
The
committee
held
a
public
hearing
on
november
9th.
We
also
where
we
also
took
public
comment.
This
is
a
home
rule
petition
that
will
amend
the
general
laws.
Chapter
32
subdivision,
4
of
section
5
relating
to
superannuation
retirement
for
members
in
the
teachers
retirement
system,
this
system
would
superannuation
retirement,
otherwise
known
as
the
teachers
alternate
retirement
plan
allows
members
to
contribute
11
percent
of
all
regular
compensation
under
the
current
law.
O
Participation
in
this
retirement
is
mandatory
for
all
teachers
hired
on
or
before,
or
on
or
after
excuse
me
july,
1st
2001.,
any
member
of
the
teacher's
retirement
system
or
any
teacher
who
was
a
member
of
the
boston
retirement
system.
Before
july,
1st
2001
could
elect
to
participate
in
this
alternative
program.
O
The
election,
however,
only
took
place
between
january
1st
and
july
1st
of
2001
and
any
member
of
a
contributor
or
a
retirement
system
who
transfers
into
the
retirement
system
or
transfers
into
the
boston
retirement
system,
as
a
teacher
may
elect
to
participate
in
this
program
now.
But
that
said
election
occurred
within
180
days
of
establishing
membership
in
the
teacher's
entire
retirement
system.
O
O
This
is
a
cost-saving
matter
for
many
of
us,
and
the
cost
savings
presented
to
us
was
calculated
that
with
more
people
being
able
to
contribute-
and
they
can
also
catch
up
for
the
time
that
they
were
not
able
to
contribute
up
to
11,
there
will
be
people.
Teachers
excuse
me
who
can
retire
earlier,
without
that
many
of
them
are
on
a
different
plan
that
has
only
allowed
them
to
contribute
nine
percent
and
therefore
have
to
wait
for
a
longer
retirement
in
order
to
receive
their
full
benefits.
O
He
specifically
spoke
to
the
confusion
that
a
lot
of
teachers
had
and
how
they
thought
they
were
actually
getting
the
11
contribution
because
it
says
in
their
paycheck
nine
plus
two
percent,
so
they
thought
they
were
in
the
plus
plan
and
contributing
11,
and
he
found
out
he
was
not
and
that
the
election
period
was
so
short.
Many
of
them
didn't
elect
for
it.
O
So
this
is
essentially
allowing
through
the
homeworld
petition
people
to
contribute
more
to
their
retirement
and
they
can
make
a
lump
sum
payment
or
add
the
difference
onto
their
paycheck
or
excuse
me.
Have
the
difference.
Subtracted
through
their
paycheck,
it
would
cost
the
city
or
excuse
me
it
would
actually
save
costs
to
the
city
in
terms
of
payment.
O
O
So,
having
heard
from
my
colleagues
having
talked
and
been
at
the,
what
I
thought
was
a
very
good
hearing,
a
thorough
hearing
and
hearing
the
overwhelming
support
from
my
colleagues
and
myself
understanding
that
it
makes
perfect
sense
to
allow
people
to
be
able
to
contribute
more
to
their
savings.
I
submit
this
poor
report
recommending
that
this
docket
ought
to
pass.
Thank
you
very
much,
madam.
E
President,
thank
you
so
much.
I'm
just
checking
to
see
if
there's
discussion
blue
hands.
Yes,
wonderful!
The
chair
recognizes
counselor
sabe
george.
A
Thank
you
much.
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
president.
Thank
you
to
council
edwards.
This
home
rule
petition
will
essentially
allow
for
our
educators
and
nurses
to
increase
their
retirement
contributions,
so
they
can
retire
sooner
than
previously
determined.
I
know.
Counselor
edwards
went
through
some
of
these
details
and
just
want
to
reiterate
that
we
did
hear
from
many
of
those
teachers
during
our
hearing,
both
in
person
virtually
and
via
written
testimony.
I
know
many
of
you
have
also
received
emails
and
communications
from
from
those
teachers.
A
The
reasons
for
this
home
rule
petition
were
not
included
specifically,
but
are
certainly
varied,
and
this
home
rule
petition
will
allow
us
to
correct
the
issue
that
needs
to
be
corrected
and
will
allow
our
educators
and
nurses
to
retire
sooner
than
previously
expected,
but
all
sooner
than
we
previously
maybe
expected,
but
certainly
as
soon
as
they
expected
to,
and
this
will
certainly
help
us
fiscally
as
a
city
and
help
the
boston
public
schools
have
the
flexibility
it
needs
to
hire
more
new
teachers.
A
E
You
so
much
seeing
no
other
discussion.
Counselor
edward
seeks
passage
of
docket
0981.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
world
thank.
C
L
D
D
C
E
E
C
E
P
Thank
you
so
much.
Madam
president,
I
want
to
thank
my
co-sponsors
on
matter:
zero.
Eight
three,
nine
councillor
campbell,
the
chair
of
public
safety
and
criminal
justice
and
also
counselor
o'malley
and
counselor
arroyo
who's,
the
sponsor
of
1039.
P
P
In
july,
we
filed
a
matter
839
in
order
to
make
sure
that
the
council
would
do
ongoing
oversight
of
the
cuts
in
the
police
budget,
specifically
the
overtime
budget
that
have
been
scheduled
in
our
fy21
budget
that
the
council
passed
in
june.
Those
are
cuts
that,
although
they
represented
a
12
million
reduction
from
60
million
to
48
million
of
the
police
department's
budgeted
over
timeline
item
actually
represent
a
24.5
million
dollar
reduction
from
the
police
department's
actual
overtime
of
72.5
million
last
year.
P
So
it's
a
major
reduction
and
I
think
the
council
had
many
members
of
the
council
been
united
in
saying
that
we're
not
going
to
get
there
without
real
oversight,
real
planning
and
kind
of
structural
changes,
and
what
we
heard
from
the
department
is
that
the
over
the
first
quarter
of
fy21
this.
This
hearing,
I
should
say,
is
part
of
a
series
of
quarterly
hearings,
we'll
be
holding
all
year
in
order
to
watch
and
and
oversee
this
item.
P
So
we
held
this
one
after
the
q1
numbers
came
in
what
the
q1
numbers
reflect
is
a
14.6
reduction
in
police
overtime
compared
to
last
year,
which
would
put
us
on
track
to
a
10.5
million
dollar
savings
which
well
significant,
is
not
at
the
same
scale
as
what
has
been
budgeted
and
one
of
the
things
we
discussed
from
the
council
side.
It's
just
that.
P
A
number
of
a
number
of
the
savings
that
have
been
achieved
have
been
kind
of
contingent
on
coveted
circumstances,
and
so
we're
still
looking
to
the
department
for
a
more
overall
strategy
structurally
to
reach
those
more
permanent
reductions
and
sort
of
hold.
This
budget
line
item
down
more
in
line
with
what
the
administration
and
the
council
committed
to
in
june.
P
Simultaneously
with
that,
we
were
also
holding
a
hearing
on,
as
I
said,
daca
1039
from
counselor
arroyo
focus
in
particular
on
court
over
time
and
the
issues
both
of
how
much
of
that
is
on
work
time
because
of
how
our
contract
is
structured
and
concerns
about
oversight
and
making
sure
that
people
are
not
sort
of
double
charging
and
that
all
that
over
time
is
being
booked
appropriately
because
of
research.
That
came
out
of
comparisons
between
the
data
he
received
in
a
17f
and
some
follow-up
by
a
number
of
advocacy
groups.
P
So
so
we
were
really
addressing
both
of
those
inter-related
issues
at
the
same
time,
and
I
think
that
while
the
council
received
a
lot
of
data
from
the
department
and
is
grateful
for
that
and
it
let
us
dig
in,
I
think
that
there's
still
a
lot
of
questions
left
unanswered.
A
major
theme
that
was
returned
to
again
and
again
was
sort
of
how
minimum
staffing
standards
are
calculated
and
wanting
more
transparency
on
that.
P
P
A
number
of
the
suggestions
raised
by
counselors
over
the
course
of
the
hearing
for
how
to
achieve
some
of
these
more
structural
savings
are
connected
to
the
police
contracts
which
are
currently
up
for
negotiation,
and
so
the
council
does
have
a
docket
about
police
contracts,
has
public
policy
documents
before
it
right
now
we
had
a
hearing
on
it
back
in
september
and
we
will
be
having
a
working
session
on
that
docket
on
november
30th.
So
looking
forward
to
that,
I
think
for
the
time
being.
P
Madam
president,
I
would
thank
all
my
colleagues
for
attending
and
for
their
good
questions
and
to
the
department-
and
I
think
like-
and
you
know,
as
we
acknowledge
throughout
the
conversation
the
department's
done-
some
really
important
work
during
this
time
and
it's
a
difficult
time
in
covid,
and
I
think
that
we
can
hold
that
simultaneously
with
the
fact
that
we
still
need
to
achieve
these
structural
change
changes
and
that's
something
that
the
administration
and
the
council
committed
ourselves
to.
P
So
we
will,
I
think,
the
my
preference
as
chair
would
be
to
hold
both
of
these
dockets
in
committee.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
E
You
so
much
councillor
bach
dockett's,

that's

O
O
The
hearing
was,
I
think,
one
of
the
more
successful
hopeful
hearings
that
we've
had
on
housing.
Specifically,
the
administration
discussed
the
9
million
dollars
and
the
goals
of
it
and
the
fact
that
it
gave
much
updated
and
gave
many
updates.
Excuse
me
on
where
the
money
has
gone
so
far
in
helping
bostonians
stay
stable
in
their
homes.
Despite
the
pandemic,
the
nine
million
dollars
ultimately
is
not
going
to
be
used
this
year,
but
will
be
added
to
the
kitty
to
help
us
really
support
and
sustain
and
stabilize
or
stabilize
our
neighborhoods
into
2022..
O
I
still
think
we
should
release
those
funds,
or
at
least
allow
them
to
move
on,
so
the
city
can
have
access
to
them
as
soon
as
possible,
but
they
are
dedicated
to
rent
relief
and
economic
economic
relief
as
related
to
housing,
and
I
also
asked
at
the
during
the
hearing
if
it
would
be
helping
to
fund
some
of
the
attorneys
that
the
office
of
housing,
stability
in
the
city
of
boston
from
through
dnd,
is
actually
paying
to
help
support
tenants
in
knowing
their
rights.
They
they
are.
They
think
at
the
time.
O
When
you
add
all
the
funding
together,
basically
contribute
to
about
18
million
dollars
in
rent
relief
and
the
city
of
boston
through
the
cares
act
and
through
city
bg
grants.
Some
updates
that
we
have
had
on
the
rent
relief
of
the
eight
million
dollars
that
had
they
had
to
spend
about.
Four
million
dollars
has
gone
out
to
neighborhoods.
1100
families
have
received
them,
they
have
recently
opened
up
the
application
again
and
just
real
quick
about
1200
people
have
applied.
700,
unfortunately,
were
rejected
for
various
reasons.
O
Some
didn't
live
in
boston,
some
didn't
qualify
for
financial
reasons,
all
sorts
of
reasons,
but
about
468
other
families
are
about
to
be
considered.
I
will
have
to
say
they
to
d's
credit.
O
They
had
to
build
a
bike
and
ride
it
at
the
same
time,
in
in
a
pandemic,
with
no
understanding
of
how
this
could
work
with
a
maybe
supportive
administration
in
terms
of
federally
or
not
and
to
their
credit,
those
men
and
women
rose
to
the
occasion
and
they
learned
from
the
first
time
they
released
it
to
this
time
that
they
re-released
it.
O
They
made
it
a
one-stop
shop,
all
documents
at
one
time
applying
for
everything
they
created
a
portal
where
tenants
and
landlords
could
work
together
to
put
the
documents
in
to
be
submitted
at
one
time.
Their
language
access
is
huge,
hugely
improved.
I
also
want
to
give
credit
for
the
46
000
newsletters
that
they
put
out
to
the
entire
community
about
housing
rights
and
in
the
in
the
corner
of
each
one.
O
They
had
the
little
cube
so
that
you
could
click
on
it
and
see
the
language
in
real
time
in
any
language,
I
think
of
21
different
languages,
so
the
amount
of
efficiency,
how
they've
communicated
how
they've
pushed
this
narrative
and
also
helping
to
draft
the
first
housing
notification
act,
of
which
we
all
as
the
city
council,
made
sure
we
improved
and
got
it
done
in
two
weeks
to
get
that
out.
I
I
want
to
say
congratulations
to
all
of
us.
Congratulations,
especially
to
dnd.
O
I
know
I
forgot
to
actually
submit
that
to
you,
council
president
about
the
suspended
pass,
but
if
it
is
still
available
at
this
moment
to
suspend
and
pass
the
nine
million
dollar
budget,
I
would
push
for
that.
I
believe
all
of
us
want
dnd
to
have
the
funds
they
explain
where
they're
going
to
go
and
made
assurances
to
counsel
back
that
if
there's
any
change
in
any
way
shape
or
form
as
to
their
goals
of
that
money,
they
will
come
back
to
the
council
and
I
believe
them.
E
Far,
and
so
I
just
want
to
clarify
for
folks-
there
are
three
dockets
that
counselor
edwards
spoke
to
the
first
docket
is
docket
0998
and
in
that
docket
councilor
edwards
is
seeking
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
that
docket
are
people
clear,
all
right,
wonderful,
madam
clerk,
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
call
the
roll
counselor
edward,
seeks
suspension
of
the
rules
and
adoption
in
a
passage.
Could
you
please
call
the
rule.
Thank.
C
J
C
Q
C
So
docket
number
zero.
Nine
nine
eight
has
passed.
E
Thank
you
so
much
so
docket,
zero,
nine,
nine.
Eight
s
pass
the
other
two
dockets
docket
zero,
five,
eight,
seven
and
dock
at
zero.
Two
one
eight
will
remain
in
the
committee
of
housing
and
community
development.
Madam
clerk,
yes,
madam
clerk,
could
you
please
read:
docket
1085
and
1086
together.
Certainly.
C
P
Floor,
thank
you.
Madam
chair
and
counselor
edwards
mentioned
the
the
sort
of
excellent
presentation
and
optimism
inspired
by
the
dnd
hearing,
and
I
will
have
to
say
that
this
one
on
the
josiah
quincy
upper
school
was
similarly
optimistic.
P
It
was
a
a
project
that
has
been
long
dreamt
of
and
pursued,
in
fact,
the
principal
richard
chang
who
joined
us
characterized
us
as
entering
the
promised
land,
because
there
have
been
three
failed
efforts
to
procure
site
control
and
make
this
school
happen
in
the
past
and
now
we're.
Finally
looking
at
a
successful
one.
P
So
I
was
joined
yesterday
by
councillor
flynn,
whose
district
the
new
school
would
be
in
and
then
councillors,
brayden,
flaherty,
mejia
and
asabi
george,
and
we
we
were
also
joined
on
behalf
of
the
administration
by
brian
mclaughlin,
from
bps
capital
planning,
nate
cooter,
their
cfo
pip
lewis,
who's
from
hmfh
architects
and
really
walked
through
the
whole
plan
for
the
school
and
then
carlton
jones
and
rowan
mcnulty,
who
are
both
from
the
public
facilities
department
along
with
chief
brophy.
P
And
you
know
the
types
of
matters
we
discussed
were
the
the
designs
for
the
school
and
in
fairly
extended
detail,
including
the
environmental
components,
the
sort
of
advanced
air
filtration
system
they're
going
to
have
for
the
school,
given
both
all
that
we
have
learned
about
the
need
for
grid
air
filtration
through
covid,
and
also
its
location
close
to
a
highway
where
we
know
there's
a
lot
of
particles,
a
green
roof
that
they've
designed
with
a
bunch
of
interactive
space
for
the
students.
P
The
fact
this
is
going
to
comply
with
the
city's
new
net
zero
carbon
rules
for
new
municipal
buildings,
which
is
really
exciting,
the
the
systems
that
will
be
in
place
for
getting
lots
of
students
up
and
down
the
stairs
and
the
elevators
on
a
six-story
school
and
the
ways
that
this
is
really
going
to
tie
in
with
the
josiah
quincy
elementary
school
campus,
which
is
right
across
the
street.
I
think,
speaking
of
that
sort
of
long
journey
and
the
many
the
many
rejected
sites
to
get
here.
P
It's
it's
great
that
the
one
where
this
proposal
has
ended
up
is
the
one
that's
right
across
the
street
and
really
most
cohesive
with
the
existing
jqes
school
community
and-
and
I
think
it
was
reflected
in
our
hearing
that
this
is
a
you
know.
This
is
a
school
that
educates
an
immigrant
community,
a
community
of
95
percent
students
of
color,
and
it's
just
it's
a
really
it's
an
excellent
school
that
deserves
an
excellent
building
and
and
was
also
cheered
to
here.
P
As
a
former
resident
of
bay
village
myself,
the
school
department
expressed
that
they
that
they
very
much
expected
that,
when
the
current
jques
building,
which
is
in
bay,
village,
is
vacated
that
that's
something
that
they
would
look
to
use
for
other
school
related
purposes,
given
our
shortage
of
downtown
school
facilities,
so
that
was
cheerful
as
well.
On
the
on
the
nuts
and
bolts
dollars
and
cents
side.
P
This
is
a
school,
it
will
be
the
most
expensive
school
we've
ever
built
in
the
city
of
boston
and
folks
will
see
that
there
are
two
appropriations
being
considered
today.
One
is
for
182
point,
eight
million
dollars
and
another
is
for
eight
and
a
half
million
dollars,
and
that
latter
one
is
actually
from
a
fund
that
was
created
by
the
sale
of
city,
land
15
years
or
so
ago,
and
those
funds
were
promised
to
the
construction
of
the
school.
And,
as
I
said,
it's
been
a
long
time
coming.
P
But
if
we
vote
for
that
appropriation
today,
we
will
be
finally
allocating
the
balance
of
those
funds
toward
this
project.
Before
making
my
formal
request.
I
just
do
want
to
also
note
that
this
is
a
project.
That's
been
done
in
participation
in
partnership,
it's
being
pursued
with
the
massachusetts
school
building
authority,
which
is
the
state
level
authority
that
provides
support
for
municipal
school
building
projects,
and
we
often
come
before
the
body
with
items
related
to
window
and
root
and
roof
and
boiler
replacements,
which
is
a
lot
of
what
they
do
do.
P
But
it's
very
exciting
when
they
are
willing
to
participate
in
a
new
school
construction
and
in
the
case
of
this
school
building,
where
we'll
be
eligible
for
up
to
54
million
dollars
of
this
sum
to
be
ultimately
reimbursed
by
the
state,
which
is
a
huge
amount.
And
I
think
with
what
we
heard
yesterday,
was
that
we
might
not
quite
hit
the
54
depending
on
how
everything
gets
documented,
but
we'll
it'll
definitely
be
north
of
50..
P
So
a
large
chunk
of
this
very
expensive
school
building
construction
will
be
paid
for
by
the
state
which
is
important
and
and-
and
we
did
discuss
in
very
much
in
partnership
with
councillor
mejia,
who
was
at
the
hearing
sort
of
the
need
when
we
look
at
these
big
capital
projects,
to
return
again
to
the
question
of
how
we
get
more
women
and
minority-owned
businesses
participating
and
more
workers
who
are
boston
residents
participating
as
counselor
janie
has
often
led
on,
and
so
I
think
we're
going
to
be
returning
for
a
broader
conversation
about
our
msba
sponsored
projects
and
how
to
create
more
of
a
pipeline
on
that
in
the
new
year.
P
So
I
think
that
piece
of
the
work
is
unfinished
and
will
continue,
but
for
today
I
do
want
to
recommend
that
docket
1085
ought
to
be
read
for
the
first
time
and
a
sign
for
further
action.
That
is
a
capital
docket.
So
it'll
require
two
positive
readings,
two
weeks
apart
from
this
body
and
then
docket
1086,
which,
as
I
said,
is
allocating
that
existing
fund,
and
so
it
does
not
indebt
the
city
and
only
requires
one
vote.
I'm
recommending
today
that
daca
1086
ought
to
pass.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
E
At
least
once
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
we're
going
to
vote
on
these
dockets
separately
and
we'll
start
with
docket
10
85
and,
having
received
its
first
reading,
docket
1085
will
be
assigned
for
further
action.
Madame
clerk,
would
you
please
we
have
to
do
a
roll
call
on
that
road?
Oh
yeah,
could
you
call
the
poll?
Thank
you
so
much
very
excited.

Madam
president,
last
night
we
had
an
affordab,
an
informative
hearing
on
the
city's
melania
cast
mass
massab
2.0
plan.
We
were
joined
by
members
of
the
administration,
including
kim
tai
special
assistants,
the
mayor,
the
office
of
recovery
services,
ems,
the
boston
public
health,
commission,
the
department
of
neighborhood
development,
the
boston
police
department,
barry
bach
from
the
task
force
and
other
representatives
from
the
mayor's
office
who
discussed,
plan
specifics
and
the
impact
of
covet
on
that
plan.
H
We
were
also
very
fortunate
to
be
joined
by
advocates
in
this
discussion,
including
cassie
hurd
from
the
material
aid
and
advocacy
program
leo
baletsky
faculty
director
at
the
health
injustice
action
lab
daniel
hogan
from
the
codman
square,
health
center
and
jessica
gallagher
from
the
committee
for
public
council
services.
These
advocates
were
able
to
bring
their
lived
experiences
to
the
conversation
and
helped
frame
and
contextualize
a
lot
of
what
we
heard
from
the
administration
and
a
lot
of
what
we
weren't
hearing.
H
I'd
like
to
thank
the
lead
sponsor
council
president
janie
for
working
with
me
to
make
sure
we
have
this
important
conversation.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
councillors,
flynn,
braden,
asabi,
george
baker,
mejia
campbell,
o'malley,
flaherty
and
wu
for
joining
us
for
this
hearing,
which
served
as
a
starting
point
for
a
much
longer
conversation
around
what's
being
accomplished
in
the
melania
cast
mass
ave
2.0
plan.
H
From
from
the
conversation
that
we
did
have
it's
clear
that
we
have
more
work
to
do
as
a
city
to
provide
more
extensive
support
and
resources
to
our
in-house
community
members
and
individuals
with
substance
use
disorder,
as
well
as
to
ensure
that
families,
children
and
house
residents
feel
safe
in
the
mass
cass
area.
We
also
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
being
intentional
about
who's
being
included
in
these
conversations
and
through
you,
council,
president
janie,
to
be
clear.
I
don't
know
if
you
would
like
to
add
any
additional
remarks.
E
So,
thank
you
so
much
just
for
brevity
of
the
meeting
when
it
comes
to
committee
reports.
I'd
like
to
just
leave
that
to
the
chair
of
the
committee
and
include
other
comments.
If
we
were
voting
on
legislation
and
obviously
the
sponsor
should
jump
in,
I
think
you've
offered
a
very
thorough
report
and
obviously
there's
a
lot
more
work.
That
needs
to
be
done
in
this
front.
E
There's
still
a
lot
of
frustration,
but
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity.
Thank
you
for
chairing
and
for
your
partnership
and
thank
you
to
colleagues
for
their
their
work
on
this
issue.
With
that
said,
docket
0931
will
remain
in
the
committee
of
public
health.
As
we
have
much
more
work
to
do.
We
will
now
move
on
to
motions
orders
and
resolutions,
starting
with
docket
one
one:
zero
zero.
Thank
you.
T
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
so
much
to
my
co-sponsor
councillor,
liz
braden
on
this.
This
is
a
an
ordinance
that
we
are
proposing
that
you
know
may
seem
short
in
terms
of
the
length
of
it,
but
will
carry
a
huge
impact.
We
are
talking
about
making
sure
that
every
single,
not
just
policy
on
the
books
but
piece
of
paper
and
important
licenses
documents
certificates
that
are
that
people
have
to
interact
with
at
city
hall.
Okay,
there's
the
second
one
are
inclusive
of
of
all
gender
identities.
T
This
ordinance
came
out
of
the
experience
of
a
constituent
who
reached
out
to
say
that
their
process
of
getting
married
at
city
hall
wasn't
ideal
and
it
wasn't
the
amazing
clerk's
office.
It
wasn't
the
incredible
staff.
It
was
the
the
fact
that,
in
filling
out
the
forms
for
that
marriage
license,
there
was
only
two
gender
identity
options.
Male
and
female,
and
as
the
state
has
taken
actions
as
other
countries
have
taken
actions
to
ensure
that
we
are
inclusive
of
all
gender
identities
of
non-conforming
residents
and
community
members.
T
The
city
of
boston
needs
to
do
the
same
just
about
a
year
ago.
Today,
the
rmv
in
massachusetts
announced
that
they
were
creating
a
gender
ex
designation
on
driver's
licenses.
This
is
a
matter
of
this
is
a
matter
of
not
just
representing
and
fully
being
a
welcoming
city
and
commonwealth
for
everyone,
but
public
health
and
safety
as
well.
T
That
is
one
more
way
in
which
we
are
perpetuating
that,
so
I
want
to
thank
dom
for
reaching
out
and
one
and
making
sure
that
their
experience
in
city
hall
will
be
used
to
transform
the
experience
of
others,
particularly
during
covid,
coming
when
this
is
the
time
that
you
get
to
celebrate
and
that
for
every
other
form,
we
have
the
same
conversation.
A
few
years
ago,
I
had
heard
from
a
constituent
who
was
coming
to
get
a
birth
certificate
for
her
daughter
and
in
a
two-mom
household.
T
For
the
request
form,
we've
we've
changed
it
administratively,
since
then
to
say
parent,
one
and
parent
two,
but
we
need
to
look
at
every
document
and
the
ways
that
we
can
be
fully
inclusive
of
all
family
status
and
family
configurations
and
and
experiences
as
well
as
all
gender
identities.
And
finally,
I
just
really
want
to
thank
those
who
have
pushed
the
way
for
this
statewide.
T
U
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
also
to
councillor
wu
for
her
initiative
on
this
topic.
I'm
pleased
to
co-sponsor
this
ordinance
ensuring
that
proper
gender
identification
and
inclusivity
and
inclusivity
of
my
lgbtqi,
siblings
and
family,
including
those
who
identify
as
non-binary
and
or
or
gender
non-conforming.
U
This
ordinance
is
a
critical
step
forward,
ensuring
that
gender-based
discrimination
and
I'm
sure
towards
ending
gender-based
discrimination
by
ensuring
gender
inclusivity
on
all
city
city
issued
forms
documents
and
certificates
having
a
gender
marker
on
an
identification
or
public
forms
that
does
not
match
one's
gender
identity
may
lead
to
discrimination
and
even
violence
and
may
cause
many
individuals
to
avoid
avoid
receiving
services.
U
E
G
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
president,
I
I
wish
to
speak
in
full
support
of
this
ordinance.
Obviously
thank
the
two
makers,
the
at-large
council
from
roslindale
and
the
district
council
from
austin
brighton.
This
is
a
long
overdue
and
important
change
that
we
need
to
advocate,
and
similarly
I
had
an
issue
several
months
ago,
where
a
constituent
had
reached
out,
on
behalf
of
their
friend
a
very
similar
scenario
where
the
friend
was
unable
to
use
x
to
denote
their
gender,
and
there
was
no
no
reason
why
that
should
be
so.
G
We
reached
out
to
some
colleagues
at
the
state
legislature
and
I
want
to
specifically
acknowledge
the
incredible
work
of
senator
joe
commerford
who's,
been
really
leading
on
the
issue
of
the
inclus
inclusivity
of
trans
and
non-binary
individuals.
So
this
is
something
that
we
can
do
in
boston.
We
must
be
doing
across
the
commonwealth
and
looking
forward
to
seeing
this
come
to
fruition.
So
thank
the
makers.
Please
add
my
name.
E
Thank
you
not
seeing
anyone
who
wants
to
speak,
so
I
will
take
a
show
of
hands
physical
hands,
but
let
me
just
add
kudos
to
the
makers.
E
I
think
identity
is
so
critically
important
and
and
make
giving
space
for
folks
to
identify
how
they
identify-
and
this
is
one
of
those
moments
like
duh,
like
I'm
of
course,
like
it
seems
so
small,
but
it's
huge
and
so
kudos
to
you
guys.
I'm
hope.
I
know
it's
late
in
the
legislative
calendar,
but
I'm
hopeful
that
this
is
going
to
be
something
that
we
can
just
get
right
through
our
legislative
cycle.
So
kudos,
I
you
know
at
2020.
We
should
be
doing
this
already.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
it
forth.
E
Madam
clerk,
if
you
could,
please
add
councillor
o'malley,
please
add
councillor
flynn,
council
of
flaherty
councillor
edwards
councillor
bach,
councillor
campbell
councillor,
baker,
council,
asabi,
george
councillor,
mejia,
council
of
royal.
Please
also
add
the
chair.
I
believe
that
makes
it
unanimous
dockets
1100,
which
is
one
one:
zero
zero
will
be
assigned
to
the
committee
on
government
operations.
E
Madam
clerk,
could
you
please
read
into
the
record
docket
1101.
C
P
Since
then,
my
staff
has
been
researching
and
working
on
what
that
would
actually
look
like
in
practice
today,
I'm
filing
this
hearing
order
on
creating
a
city
level
conservation
corps
for
boston,
which
is
an
initiative.
That's
in
line
with
other
great
climate,
focused
work
on
the
council,
including
councillor
o'malley's,
work
on
net
zero
buildings
and
zero
waste
goals
and
councilor
wu's
great
new
deal
for
boston,
but
my
particular
operational
focus
here
today
really
comes
out
of
my
work
as
the
council's
chair
of
ways
and
means.
P
As
you've
all
heard
me
say
before,
investing
in
a
robust
capital
budget
is
one
of
the
best
counter-cyclical
things
we
can
do
at
the
city
level.
In
response
to
the
economic
impacts
of
the
kova
19
pandemic,
the
city
has
a
favorable
bond
rating
and
by
using
it
to
invest
in
capital
projects
that
will
benefit
boston
for
years
to
come.
We
can
stimulate
our
local
economy
each
year.
The
city
actually
leaves
something
along
the
lines
of
100
million
dollars
or
more
of
the
approved
capital
budget
unused.
P
That's
the
sort
of
average
for
the
last
three
years,
and
one
aspect
that
limits
throughput
for
our
capital
projects
is
the
intensive
public
request
for
proposals
process
by
utilizing
an
expanded
city
workforce
focused
on
these
types
of
projects.
We
could
accelerate
our
capital
projects
and
increase
the
share
of
those
projects
that
are
environmentally
focused.
P
The
original
federal
civilian
conservation
corps
was
one
of
the
most
popular
and
successful
programs
in
fdr's
new
deal,
it's
responsible
for
planting
over
2
billion
trees,
which
is
still
more
than
half
the
deforestation
we've
done
in
this
country.
Reforestation,
I
should
say,
and
also
I
created
many
of
the
hiking
and
walking
paths
still
in
use
today.
P
P
Other
cities
like
la
austin
and
seattle
are
utilizing
their
new
local
conservation
cores,
which
are
staffed
by
young
people.
People
have
lost
jobs
due
to
covet
19
or
people
in
transition
out
of
homelessness
to
plant
trees,
tend
to
native
plants,
restore
habitats,
install
green
infrastructure
and
solar
panels,
and
retrofit
municipal
and
non-profit
owned
buildings
for
increased
energy
efficiency.
P
We
recently
had
a
hearing
that
discussed
a
lot
of
the
frustrations
and
we've
had
many
hearings,
and
many
colleagues
here
have
led
those
for
years
now.
The
frustrations
we
constantly
encounter
in
making
progress
on
that
front
and
I
think
a
conservation
corps
program
could
be
a
real
way
to
expand
and
diversify
the
construction
and
labor
workforce
in
our
city.
P
There's
basically,
two
paths:
we
can
partner
with
unions
to
do
this
by
creating
a
broad
project,
labor
agreement
across
a
major
batch
of
new
work,
to
train
new
work
that
would
train
climate
corps
members
as
they
work
on
capital
projects
and
provide
a
pathway
into
union
jobs.
The
other
thing
is
to
create
a
dedicated
city
workforce
that
works
on
new
types
of
projects
directly.
P
So
those
are
things
like
permeable
pavement,
green
roofs,
bios,
whales,
rain
gardens.
A
lot
of
this
is
the
type
of
work
that
we're
not
doing
at
scale
in
the
city
yet,
and
so
the
question
is:
do
we
set
up
a
system
to
do
it
at
scale
with
equitable
jobs
right
from
the
start?
Or
do
we
just
wait
for
sort
of
private
firms
to
bid
and
then
get
a
result?
That's
very
similar
to
the
result
that
we've
seen
over
time
in
our
other
in
our
other
types
of
capital
projects.
P
I'm
introducing
this
hearing
order
on
today,
really
in
hopes
of
making
concrete
progress
towards
such
a
capital
funded
workforce
in
time
for
next
year's
budget
cycle.
So
in
a
context
in
which
our
operating
budget
is
expected
to
be
tight,
this
kind
of
innovative
program
on
the
capital
side
can
accelerate
our
progress
towards
carbon
neutrality,
give
more
boston
residents
the
opportunity
to
participate
and
benefit
from
the
emerging
green
economy
and
counteract
the
job
loss
and
recession
tied
to
the
coven
19
pandemic.
P
It's
I'm
introducing
it,
like,
I
said
late
in
the
legislative
cycle
here,
because
I
think
for
us
to
really
grow
city-based
jobs
that
are
funded
out
of
the
capital
budget.
Instead
of
the
operating
budget,
we
need
to
pull
a
bunch
of
the
threads
of
conversation
that
have
been
happening
on
the
council
and
in
the
administration
together
efficiently
in
advance
of
next
year's
budget.
P
So
that's
really
the
goal
from
where
for
me-
and
I'm
you
know
introducing
this
today
in
hopes
that
in
the
decades
to
come,
we
this
council
be
able
to
look
back
on
the
actions
that
we
took
and
know
that
we
did
our
very
best
to
meet
the
simultaneous
crises
of
climate
change,
racial
and
economic
justice
and
covet
19
head
on
for
the
future
of
our
city.
Thank.
E
You
amen,
the
chair
recognizes
councillor
o'malley
council
o'malley.
You
have
the
floor,.
G
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I
wish
to
really
commend
the
maker,
the
district
councilor
from
beacon
hill.
E
T
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
say
I'm
so
so
excited
and
grateful
to
the
sponsor
here
for
leading
on
this.
This
is,
as
mentioned,
a
really
important
piece
of
connecting
the
dots
between
our
sustainability
and
climate
resiliency
and
economic
development
and
the
workforce
and
economic
crisis
that
we
are
in
at
this
moment.
T
This
is
the
one
policy
in
the
the
green
new
deal
plan
that
we
put
forward
that
actually
underpins
so
many
of
the
other
ones,
whether
it
was
giving
the
city
the
ability
to
then
move
forward
with
resilient
stormwater
infrastructure
and
having
the
capacity
to
do
that
for
residents
who
otherwise
wouldn't
be
able
to
afford
it
or
moving
towards
the
urban
tree
canopy
coverage
that
we
need,
particularly
in
our
environmental
justice
neighborhoods
where
heat
is
going
up
and
up
and
up.
You
know
another
issue
that
several
in
this
council
have
been
working
on.
T
We
have
the
chance
to
not
only
stave
off
the
harms
of
climate
change,
but
to
really
grab
a
hold
of
the
incredible
benefits
that
would
come
from
jobs,
good
local
technical
training
that
would
prepare
people
for
a
whole
variety
of
careers
that
could
open
up
and
so
there's.
This
is
incredibly
transformational
and
foundational
to
what
we
need
to
be
thinking
about,
and
thank
you
so
much
to
the
chair
for
always
operationalizing
or
pushing
us
to
to
work
towards
operationalizing
these
ideas.
Thank
you,
oh
and
please
add
my
name.
E
G
Doing
much
better,
thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
actually
lost
electricity
for
a
minute
because
I
do
not
have
pv
panels
on
my
roof,
so
it
underscores
the
point
of
why
this
is
such
a
needed
initiative.
Obviously
thank
the
maker
councilor
bach
for
her
leadership.
You
know,
we've
always
said
we
are
seeing
just
the
the
the.
E
Oh
no
counselor
o'malley,
we
lost
you
again
and
at
this
time
I'm
gonna
call
upon
another
colleague
and
hopefully
you'll
be
able
to
work
out
the
connection
issues.
The
chair
recognizes
councillor
braden
councillor
braden.
You
have
the
floor.
U
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
president,
I
am
so
excited.
Thank
you
to
councillor
bach
for
this
initiative.
I
think
this
is
critically
important
as
we
work
to
address
environmental
justice
in
our
city.
Address
urban
heat,
island
effects,
storm
water
management,
there's
a
whole
list
of
things
that
that
this
conservation
corps
could
help
address
and
move
move
us
along
the
the
road
to
be
more
resilient
more
quickly,
and
I
really
applaud
the
maker
for
this
and
I'm
very,
very
excited
and
very
happy
to
support
this
initiative.
E
B
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Yeah
he'll
join
us
soon.
I'm
sure
I
just
wanted
to
give
kudos
to
councillor
bach
on
this,
but
also
your
intentionality
with
respect
to
including
communities
of
color.
In
these
conversations
around
the
this
setup
and
recognizing
the
failures
of
the
green,
you
know
the
green
new
deal.
B
I
should
say
the
the
new
deal
under
fdr,
which
most
folks
don't
even
know
right,
often
excluded
or
left
behind
communities
of
color,
black
and
brown
residents,
and
so
I
appreciate
your
intentionality
in
lifting
that
up
and
naming
it
in
this
current
conversation
on
how
we
can
do
it
differently,
but
also
couching
it
in
language
that
communities
of
color
wrap
you
know,
can
wrap
their
heads
around
that
when
we
talk
about
environmental
justice,
it
really
is
about
jobs.
B
I
also
want
to
thank
you
for
your
push,
which
of
course
connects
to
this
on
the
capital
projects
and
specifically
looking
at
ways
in
which
we
can
still
still
be
doing
that
right
now
as
a
way
to
help
those
who
are
struggling
with
unemployment
because
of
cobit
19
and
the
pandemic,
and
there's
a
way
to
fast
track
some
of
those
projects.
B
This
is
something
I
care
deeply
about
when
you
look
at
the
unemployment
rates
in
my
district
or
in
communities
of
color
across
the
city
of
boston.
So
we'll
continue
to
work
in
partnership
with
you
on
that,
along
with,
of
course,
all
of
our
council
colleagues,
but
thank
you
for
your
leadership
here
and
your
staff
for
the
in-depth
research,
and
please
do.
Madam
president,
add
my
name
thank.
E
Madam
clerk,
if
you
could
please
add
counselor
braden
councillor
mejia
councillor
flynn,
councillor
baker,
council,
asabi,
george
councillor,
arroyo,
councillor
edwards,
council
of
flaherty,
councillor
campbell.
I
thought
I
saw
another
hand
in
there.
The
chair,
please
did
I
get
everyone
who
wants
to
be
added.
E
M
E
Wonderful,
I
believe
we
are
on
docket
1102.
Yes,
yes,
wonderful,
and
so
are
you
we're
on
1102
or
1101
1102.?
Did
we
assign
that?
No,
I
don't
think
we
did
a
sign
1101.,
so
1101
is
being
assigned
to
the
committee
on
environment,
resiliency
and
parks
and
now
we're
moving
on
to
1102..
E
Did
I
get
that
right?
You
did
wonderful,
wonderful
and
hopefully
we
will
be
joined
by
councillor
o'malley,
madam
clerk,
if
you
could
please
read
into
the
record
docket
1102
dr.
P
Thank
you,
madam
president.
This
is
a
an
order
which
has
been
introduced
by
a
series
of
ways
and
means
chairs.
So
it's
my
first
time
introducing
it,
but
I
think
we'll
be
familiar
to
the
veteran
counselors.
P
As
folks
may
know,
we
have
two
different
property
tax
centers
in
the
city
of
boston,
one
for
resident
residential
property
and
one
for
commercial
property
and,
as
the
order
alludes
to
actually
the
ability
to
even
make
that
distinction
is
something
that
the
residents
of
boston
fought
for
in
the
state
constitution
many
years
ago
and
and
also
subsequently
back
in.
P
So
this
is
a
order
which
would
continue
the
tradition
that
we
have
held
for
a
long
time
of
approving
a
residential
exemption
at
the
maximum
level
of
savings
for
homeowners,
which
is
35
on
class
1,
residential
parcels
per
chapter
59
and
and
to
basically
create
the
maximum
classification
differential
between
the
residential
and
commercial
property.
P
So
this
is
something
that,
as
I
said,
we
have
to
do
in
order
to
have
the
commissioner
of
revenue
certify
our
rates,
and
so
the
ways
and
means
committee
will
be
holding
a
hearing
on
this
expeditiously
in
order
to
bring
it
back
to
the
council
for
a
vote.
P
But
that
just
wanted
to
explain
the
context
of
of
this
here,
and
I
think
we
all
know
that
we
are
in
a
time
right
now
in
the
city
of
boston,
where
you
know
everyone
across
the
board
is
hurting
in
covet
19
and-
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
our
that
our
residential
homeowners
and
our
families
are
not
burdens
still
further
and
yet,
at
the
same
time,
the
only
thing
that
is
allowing
us
to
do
a
lot
of
the
critical
covet.
P
Related
things
on
behalf
of
the
city
is
our
property
tax
base,
and
so,
as
stewards
of
that
you
know,
we
find
ourselves
in
a
situation
of
both
wanting
to
provide
relief
and
also
knowing
that
the
least
among
us,
in
our
in
our
city,
who
many
of
whom
do
not
own
property,
need
the
full
force
of
their
city
behind
taking
care
of
of
them,
and
a
myriad
of
issues
and
keeping
our
city
workforces
doing
their
critical
work
day
in
day
out
with
our
property
tax
base.
P
E
Excellent,
not
seeing
any
blue
hands
for
speakers
who
would
like
to
add
their
name
to
this
docket
show
of
physical
hands.
Madam
clerk,
if
you
could
please
add
councillor
braden
counselor,
mejia,
council,
o'malley,
council
flynn,
councillor
sabi,
george
council
of
royal
councilor,
edwards
council,
flaherty,
council
wu,
please
also
add
the
chair
and
counselor
campbell.
E
Docket
1102
will
refer
to
the
committee
on
ways
and
means
before
we
move
on
madam
clerk,
I
want
to
just
offer
the
opportunity
for
council
o'malley
to
add
his
name
to
docket
1101
mall.
You
would
like
to
add
your
name
to
the
docket
1101.
Yes,
so,
madam
quick,
if
you
could,
please
add
counselor
o'malley
to
docket
1101,
thank
you.
C
E
G
Indeed,
thank
madam
president,
is
this
clear
or
is
there
sufficient.
G
All
right,
well,
perhaps
perhaps
that's
more
important,
counselor
flynn
often
says
I
have
a
face
for
a
radio,
so
it's
probably
better
that
you
just
hear
my
voice
right
off
the
bat
I'd
like
to
suspend
the
rules
and
error.
I'd
like
to
add
council
ricardo
arroyo.
As
an
original
co-sponsor
on
this
resolution,
docket
1103.
G
Terrific
thank
you
very
much.
Next
month
marks
the
one
year
anniversary
of
the
mayor,
signing
the
ordinance
sponsored
by
councillor
wu
and
myself
and
and
co-sponsored
by
every
member
of
this
body,
codifying
the
protection
and
preservation
of
boston's
wetlands.
Our
work
continues
to
promote
climate
resiliency
across
the
city,
whether
it
be
in
our
upcoming
hearing
on
thursday,
regarding
netgear,
not
net
zero
carbon
construction,
but
through
the
controversial
core
efforts
that
were
listed
and
set
out
as
a
very
noble
goal,
which
I
wholeheartedly
support
from
the
concert
from
beacon
hill.
Earlier
today.
G
The
purpose
of
this
resolution
is:
it's
been
filed
for
a
recommendation
made
by
the
commonwealth
of
massachusetts
executive
office
of
energy
and
environmental
affairs
to
process
their
awarded
grant
for
an
exciting
upcoming
project
on
108
walters
street
roswell
wetlands,
which
lay
between
district
5
and
district
6.
108
walter
is
designated
as
an
urban
wild
area,
otherwise
known
as
the
rosado
wetlands
urban
wild.
This
location,
as
well
as
the
parcel
that
abuts
it
is
for
sale.
G
G
The
mere
fact
that
this
this
grant,
which
was
awarded
several
months
ago
or
several
weeks
ago
I
should
say,
has
to
then
have
a
city
council
affirmation
in
addition
to
the
expect,
accept
and
expend
order,
which
we
will
be
voting
on
in
in
short
time,
sort
of
shows
that
the
level
of
nuance
and
complication
comes
but
suffice
it
to
say
we
are
all
united
and
just
as
sort
of
a
point
of
reference.
G
This
has
been
going
on
for
decades,
individuals
like
kathy
mccabe
and
jim
taff
and
deb
aspran,
debbie
deb
betty
wayne,
butler
janet
forresta,
inca,
frank
o'brien,
so
many
others
have
been
working
on
this.
Since
I
was
a
kid
playing
in
the
these
very
open
fields
and
these
very
wetlands,
my
grandmother
and
I
still
have
family
members
that
live
the
back
of
it.
My
dad
grew
up
in
that
house
on
coniston
road.
G
I
would
play
there
with
my
cousins
and
with
friends
in
the
neighborhood
as
a
kid
and
back
then,
in
those
days
it
was
seen
as
something
that
was
likely
to
be
developed
unless
the
neighborhood
and
the
city
could
come
together.
Well,
we
have-
and
this
is
a
crucial
first
step
and
on
a
personal
note,
to
now
know
that
my
daughter
will
be
able
to
play
in
those
fields
because
of
great
leadership
by
so
many
neighbors,
it's
just
beyond
exciting.
G
I
also
wanted
to
acknowledge
all
four
at-large
counselors
who
were
integral
instrumental
and
integral
partners.
During
this
process
we
submitted
a
letter,
counselors
royal
myself
and
the
four
at
large
counselors
to
the
state
secretary
on
july
8th,
and
we
found
out
exactly
earlier
this
month.
G
This
is
a
home
run
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
am
incredibly
proud
of
our
collective
efforts
to
advance
this,
the
council
royal,
and
I
will
be
asking
for
suspicion
of
the
rules
and
adoption
of
this
resolution
today.
Thank
you
again
to
everyone
who
made
it
possible
we're
not
quite
out
of
the
woods
yet.
We
still
have
work
to
do,
but
this
is
a
pretty
monumental
victory
for
the
neighborhood
and
for
the
incredibly
dedicated
neighborhood
activists
who
have
been
working
so
hard
to
advance
this
literally
for
decades.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
H
Thank
you,
madam.
Madam
president.
For
the
sake
of
time,
I
won't
rehash
a
lot
of
what's
been
said.
Certainly,
our
office
has
been
very
close
to
the
ground
on
this
in
terms
of
sending
letters
and
being
involved
with
the
longfellow
area,
neighborhood
association
and
their
efforts
to
acquire
this,
and
as
councilor
o'malley
has
said,
this
has
been
the
work
of
years
by
by
really
dedicated
folks,
and
you
know,
one
of
the
parts
of
this
resolution
is
that
it
supports
the
inclusion
and
preservation
one
way.
H
Walter
street
is
part
of
the
roslindale
wetlands
urban
wild,
once
they're
able
to
officially
acquire
that
land-
and
you
know
speaking
candidly
of
this
part
of
my
district,
it's
one
of
the
nicer
and
nicest
parts
of
my
district.
It's
it's
a
very
affluent
space,
we're
talking
about
a
very
well
connected,
neighborhood
community
group.
H
That's
able
to
advocate
for
itself
is
able
to
understand
where
and
how
to
navigate
what
has
been
very
difficult
waters
to
get
this
done,
and
it's
my
deepest
hope
that
the
city
puts
as
much
energy
as
they
put
into
acquiring
this
parcel
for
this
community,
as
they
will
into
other
parts.
Parts
of
the
city
where
those
means
and
that
ability
to
necessarily
advocate
for
these
things
at
the
same
level
in
fervor
isn't
readily
available.
H
We
know
that
preserving
these
wetlands
and
preserving
space
like
this
is
crucial
for
communities,
and
so
it's
hopeful
for
me
for
for
my
office
and
myself
that
as
the
city
moves
forward
and
looks
at
other
parcels
for
acquiring
that
they
they
make
an
effort
to
really
keep
acquiring
these,
because
what
we
know
is
that
when
you
do
this,
you're
you're
practicing
environmental
justice,
and
so
my
hope
is
moving
forward,
that
those
disproportionately
impacted
by
climate
change
receive
the
care
and
attention
that
they
deserve
and
that
as
we
pass
this
resolution,
we
we
also
make
clear
that
this
this
city
council
wants
to
see
that,
for
you
know
all
of
our
constituents
in
all
of
our
specific
areas
who
have
similar
needs
when
it
comes
to
ensuring
that
their
green
space
and
their
places
of
play
and
and
relaxation
are,
are
really
respected
and
and
maintained.
H
And
so
with
that,
you
know
I'll
conclude
my
remarks
there
to
say
thank
you
to
all
those
who
have
made
sure
that
we've
gotten
here
there's
been
a
level
of
commitment
from
a
very
dedicated
crew
in
roslindale,
for
this
and
councilor
o'malley
has
given
them
all
their
shout
outs,
so
I
will
do
it
twice,
but
I
do
want
to
say
thank
you,
because
I
know
that
they've
taken
hours
and
hours
and
hours
and
hours
and
years
to
really
get
us
there
and
we're
very
close,
and
so
that's
exciting.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you
so
much
a
show
of
physical
hands
for
those
who
would
like
to
add
their
name.
Madam
clerk,
if
you
could
please
add:
counselor,
brayden,
council,
mejia,
council,
abba,
council
of
wu
council
of
flynn,
council
wasabi
george
councillor
edwards
council,
flaherty,
councillor
baker,
counselor
campbell,
please
also
add
the
chair,
counselors
o'malley
and
arroyo
seek
suspension
of
the
rules
and
adoption
of
docket
1103.
C
D
C
E
Thank
you
so
much
docket
1103
has
been
adopted
and
if
the
vice
chair
council
o'malley,
if
your
internet
is
okay,
I'd
like
to
invite
you
to
take
over
so
I
could
introduce.
So
I
can
do
my
next
resolution
at
this
time.
I'm
gonna
call
upon
council
o'malley
to
take
over
council
o'malley.
G
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
please
read
into
the
record
and
place
before
the
body
docket
one
one,
zero,
four.
G
E
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
vice
chair,
and
I
will
try
to
be
very
brief.
As
I
said
most
of
what
I
need
to
say
earlier
this
morning,
during
the
special
presentation
when
we
had
representatives
from
the
coalition
with
us
as
we
began
our
council
meeting,
this
is
a
resolution.
E
The
truth
is
that
for
many
of
the
restaurants
in
my
district,
who
are
within
this
coalition,
we're
already
having
difficulties
because
of
the
inequities
that
we
that
already
existed
pre-covid,
we
already
know.
I
don't
have
to
explain
to
you
guys
the
number
of
ways
that
businesses
owned
by
people
of
color,
particularly
restaurants,
have
been
left
out
of
the
opportunity
to
prosper
in
our
city.
We
can
just
look
at
the
process
in
the
history
of
liquor
licenses
in
our
city.
E
That
demonstrates
how
so
many
folks
have
been
left
out
and
why
it
is
important
to
do
the
work
that
we're
doing
in
terms
of
trying
to
level
the
playing
field,
so
that
businesses,
particularly
these
restaurants,
will
not
just
be
able
to
navigate
the
coveted
waters
and
make
their
way
through
covid,
but
will
be
able
to
thrive
in
the
long
term.
The
members
that
we
heard
from
today
and
it
wasn't
the
entire
coalition-
have
been
tireless
in
their
advocacy
and
in
their
own
support,
trying
to
understand.
E
So
I'm
just
really
grateful
to
the
folks
that
we
saw
this
morning,
nia
cheryl,
I
want
to
add
people
like
royal.
He
wasn't
here.
He
owns
district
7
tavern
right
up.
The
street
from
my
house
he's
been
very
active
in
this
coalition
and
I'm
just
grateful
that
that
folks
have
stepped
in
because,
as
I
say,
all
the
time,
we
can't
do
it
all.
We
can't
do
it
alone.
E
We
are
best
when
we
are
doing
this
work
in
partnership
with
those
in
our
community,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
shine
some
light
on
folks
who
are
doing
so
much
for
others,
and
I'm
grateful
to
to
all
of
my
colleagues.
I
know
each
of
you
have
been
trying
to
support
business
owners
and
restaurants
in
your
your
own
district.
E
I
would
ask
that
you
would
support
this
resolution
so
that
we
can
adopt
and
suspend
today
or
suspend
and
adopt
today,
and
then
that's
it
for
me.
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
vice
chair
and
I
I
just
lastly
want
to
to
thank
my
sister-in-service
counselor
mejia
for
joining
me.
I
know
her
commitment
to
small
businesses
to
economic
justice.
She
shares
my
passion
in
terms
of
trying
to
support
these
entrepreneurs,
so
I'm
really
grateful
for
her
partnership
as
well.
Thank
you,
mr
vice
chair.
E
Obviously
we
will
be
seeking
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
this
docket.
Thank
you.
G
J
Okay,
great,
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you,
mr
vice
president,
and
thank
you
to
the
council
president
janie
for
adding
our
office.
As
a
co-sponsor.
As
the
chair
of
the
committee
of
small
business
and
workforce
development,
our
office
has
spoken
with
businesses
owners
across
the
entire
city.
We've
heard
the
stats,
but
hearing
them
directly
from
these
business
owners
about
what's
at
stake
for
them
changes
the
conversation.
J
This
isn't
just
about
their
businesses.
This
is
their
lives.
I
feel
like
a
broken
record.
Sometimes
when
I,
when
I'm
up
here
saying,
we
know
what
we
know,
but
the
question
is:
is
what
are
we
going
to
do
about
it
now?
You
all
have
heard
me
say
that
countless
times
well,
the
people
who
have
answered
that
question
and
committed
themselves
to
the
work
are
the
boston
black
hospitality
coalition.
J
Oh
sorry,
we
have
so
much
further
to
go
and
by
celebrating
them
we
commit
ourselves
to
the
work
of
fighting
for
more,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
again
thank
counselor
president
council
janie
for
her
leadership
and
and
more
importantly,
for
her
for
her
mentoring,
as
I
stepped
into
this
role
as
the
committee
chair
for
small
businesses
and
who
has
been
instrumental
in
helping
me
guide
along
the
way,
the
politics
of
the
politics
so
really
grateful
to
have
you
in
my
corner,
president
council,
janie
council,
president
janie,
I'm
going
to
get
it
right
one
of
these
days,
but
I
just
want
you
to
know
how
much
I
appreciate
you
for
including
me
in
this
resolution,
but
also
for
all
your
mentoring
along
the
way
and
how
we
can
better
serve
those
who
are
most
that
need.
J
So
thank
you
and
I'm.
I
am
encouraging
my
colleagues
to
suspend
to
adopt
these
rules
and
and
pass
this
resolution.
Thank
you.
G
Thank
you,
counselor
mejia.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
this
resolution?
Seeing
no
blue
hands
would
any
counselors
wish
to
add
their
name.
Madam
clerk,
please
add
counselor
flynn
counselor
sybi
george
counselor
wu
councillor,
flaherty
councillor
arroyo,
councillor
baker,
councillor
edwards,
councillor
braden,
councillor
bach,
please
add
the
vice
chair's
name,
counselor
campbell,
and
I
believe
that
is
everyone.
The
council
president
and
councilor
mejia
move
for
suspension
of
the
rules
and
adoption
of
this
resolution.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
role.
L
C
D
C
G
Thank
you,
madam
clerk,
and
congratulations.
Madam
president,
councillor
mejia,
madam
president,.
E
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
vice
president,
we'll
now
move
on
to
docket
1105,
madam
clerk.
E
A
You
very
much,
madam
president,
this
resolution
recognizes
november
as
national
homeless
youth
awareness
month
in
boston
too
many
of
our
young
people
are
experiencing
homelessness
and
these
young
people
disproportionately
are
black,
latinx
and
or
lgbtq
as
a
city.
We've
taken
great
steps
to
address
this,
including
creating
the
bps
homeless,
education,
resource
network
and
the
boston
youth
action
board.
A
P
P
I,
as
some
folks
know,
have
taught
a
class
for
a
few
years
at
harvard
called
housing
justice
and
there's
a
preference
for
my
for
students
who
are
working
on
these
issues
directly
and
so,
as
a
result,
a
large
number
of
the
folks
I've
taught
for
a
few
years
are
the
students
who
are
helping
to
run
the
y2y
youth
to
youth
peer
homeless,
shelter
in
cambridge,
and
I
have
to
say,
I
think
there
is
nothing
to
radicalize
a
person
so
fast
about
the
need
to
just
overhaul
our
entire
housing
system
in
this
country.
P
As
a
you
know,
up
close
and
personal
experience
of
what
youth
homelessness
looks
like
on
the
ground.
I
mean
it's
just
it's
unconscionable,
it's
an
aspect
of
our
society
that
we
should
not
allow
and-
and
I
I'm
personally
encouraged
by
the
steps
that
we've
taken
in
the
city,
to
name
that
issue
and
start
to
really
focus
on
it
in
the
way
that
we
have
in
other
aspects
of
homelessness.
P
P
You
know
just
conversations
to
identifying
housing
for
them
and
the
work
that's
going
on
with
the
new
money
at
dnd,
both
both
to
create
pathways
to
housing
for
our
unhoused
homeless,
youth
who
are
in
shelter
or
sleeping
on
the
street
and
then
also
the
many
youth
who
are
sort
of
informally
homeless
and
don't
meet
that
technical
definition,
but
are
doubled
up
bouncing
around
and
having
a
really
hard
time,
starting
a
a
stable
career
education,
family,
life,
etc,
because
because
of
that
situation,
so
I
just
think
we
need
to
really
up
our
focus
on
this
as
a
society
until
we
eradicate
it,
and
I'm
grateful
to
counselor
sabe
george
for
her
leadership
here.
E
Thank
you
so
much,
and
I
I'm
grateful
to
counselor
sabe
george,
for
your
constant
advocacy
in
this
space.
I
think
a
lot
of
people
don't
realize
how
many
young
people
are
out
there
experiencing
homelessness
and
I'm
reminded
of
a
quote
from
nelson
mandela.
That
says
there
can
be
no
keener
revelation
of
a
society's
soul
than
the
way
in
which
it
treats
its
children,
and
so
we've
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do,
and
we've
got
to
do
much
better
show
of
blue
hands
for
those
who
want
to
add
their
names.
E
Madam
clerk,
if
you
could
please
add
councillor
braden
counsel,
counselor
edwards,
councillor
baker,
council,
flaherty,
councillor
mejia,
councillor
flynn,
councillor
o'malley,
councillor
campbell,
I
believe
their
council
of
royal.
I
believe
a
few
folks
would
like
to
speak
to
this,
so
the
chair
recognizes
counselor
campbell.
Would
you
like
to
say
a
few
words,
or
did
you
just
want
to
add
your
name?
I
was
just
saying
my
name.
Thank
you.
Okay,
wonderful
council
me
here.
Did
you
want
to
speak
to
this,
or
did
you
just
want
to
add
your
name?
I
see
your
blue
hand.
J
Yes,
you
directed
us
to
the
blue
hand
situation,
so
I
did
that.
K
E
Thank
you
so
much
so
if
we
have
all
of
the
the
physical
hands
for
folks
who
want
to
sign
off,
I
believe
that
we
do
counselor
savvy
george,
seeks
suspension
of
the
rules
and
adoption
of
docket
1105.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
roll.
C
S
C
E
Thank
you
so
much
docket
1105
has
been
adopted.
Madam
clerk,
could
you
please
read
docket
1106.
A
Thank
you
again,
madam
president,
last
week
we
honored
our
school
psychologists
for
the
incredibly
necessary
work
they
do
in
our
schools
in
bps.
76
of
our
students
are
high
needs
and
require
social
and
emotional
support
specialists
like
school
psychologists.
We
know
that
this
pandemic
is
taking
a
toll
on
everyone,
including
our
students,
especially
our
students.
Our
school
psychologists
can
be
their
main
form
of
support
and
they
are
trained
to
help
our
students,
whether
their
emotional
stress
and
trauma.
I
am
grateful
for
them
for
continuing
this
hard
work
throughout
this
pandemic.
A
We
need
to
hire
more
school
psychologists
across
the
district
so
that
our
students
who
need
access
can
see
a
school
psychologist
easily
and
so
that
mental
health
is
destigmatized
for
everyone.
Mental
health
is
a
foundation
is
as
foundational
as
physical
health
to
all
of
our
bps
school
psychologists.
I
thank
you
and
celebrate
you.
I
ask
for
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
this
resolution.
E
Thank
you
so
much,
let's
see
if
I
can
get
this
straight
so
show
of
blue
zoom
hands
for
speakers.
I
don't
see
any
so
now,
I'm
going
to
call
upon
physical
hands
for
those
who
want
to
sign
on
madame
clerk.
If
you
could
please
add,

C
E
Thank
you,
so
much
docket1107
has
been
passed.
We've
got
a
couple
of
late
files,
I'm
informed
by
the
clerk
that
there
are
two
matters
that
are,
I
think,
resolutions
and
the
first
is
a
personnel
order.
So
the
first
is
a
personnel
order
from
me
and
I
apologize
for
the
late
file
here
and
then
the
others
are
resolutions.
E
C
Would
you
like
it,
would
you
like
me
to
call
the
committee?
Thank
you.
Yes,
following
the
committee
on
planning
development.
E
C
Person
from
me
right
correct,
so
the
first
of
three
late
files
november
18th
2020
counselor
janey,
ordered
that
effective
december
1
2020,
the
following
name
person
be
named.
E
And
madam
clerk,
I
just
want
before
we
get
into
the
particulars
of
my
personnel
order.
I
want
to
get
these
late
files
onto
the
agenda,
so
I
want
to
take
a
roll
call
vote.
Once
people
have
seen
the
items
to
get
them
onto
the
agenda
once
we
have
them
on
to
the
agenda,
then
we'll
vote
on
the
individual
items.
E
C
C
E
E
Councillor
janie
for
counselor,
jamie,
yes,
and
do
we
need
a
roll
call
vote
on
this
one?
This.
E
C
Council
arroyo.
Yes,
councillor
arroyo;
yes,
councillor
baker;
yes,
councillor
baker;
yes,
counselor
bach;
yes,
councillor

council,

yeah,.
V
Q
C
Council
mejia,
yes,
councillor,
o'malley,
yes
after
o'malley,
yes,
the
council
of
wu,
yes,
council
of
wu.
Yes,
the
first
laid
file
matter
has
received
a
unanimous
vote.
E
E
W
Yes,
thank
you,
council
president.
I
want
to
first
apologize
to
my
colleagues
for
the
late
file.
We
recently
heard
that
marriott
copley
place
laid
off
230
of
its
workers,
offering
little
severance
for
decades
of
service
and
in
some
instances,
so
I'm
filing
this
resolution
in
support
of
these
workers.
W
This
is
the
second
resolution
that
we
filed
in
support
of
hotel
workers
being
laid
off.
The
first
one
was
with
councillor
bark
when
the
four
seasons
laid
off
a
large
number
of
its
employees
back
in
in
may
marriott
copley
is
the
second
largest
hotel
in
boston
in
the
hospitality
industry
is
the
third
largest
in
the
city,
which
employs
tens
of
thousands
of
local
residences.
W
These
hospitality
jobs
provide
good
pay
benefits
and
a
path
to
the
middle
class.
Many
black
and
brown
boston,
hotel
workers,
including
immigrants
and
women.
These
jobs
have
allowed
many
residents
to
achieve.
First,
generational
wealth
buy
a
home,
raise
a
family
and
stay
in
the
city.
The
marriott
copley
place
layoffs
came
after
the
four
seasons,
hotel
layoffs
back
in
may.
W
It
is
unconscionable
to
me
that
a
large
corporation,
like
marriott
hotels,
who
reported
100
million
dollars
in
profits
for
the
third
quarter,
would
offer
little
severances
to
its
workers
again,
many
of
them
in
the
communities
of
color
immigrants
and
women.
Many
with
decades
of
services
to
the
company.
Our
hotel
workers
are
a
critical
part
of
our
city's
economic
engine
and
I'm
proud
to
stand
with
them,
and
I
know
my
colleagues
are
proud
to
stand
up
and
stand
with
them
as
well.
As
is
may
walsh.
W
P
I
want
to
thank
councillor
flynn
for
bringing
this
forward,
and
certainly
at
my
name
as
he
mentioned,
we
were
co-sponsors
on
a
similar
resolution
related
to
the
four
seasons
workers
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
and
I
think
it's
just
important
to
emphasize
that
we
know
that
all
of
our
businesses
are
fa
are
under
duress
right
now
and
that
there
are
really
difficult
economic
decisions
that
have
to
get
made
and
and
that
re
the
reality
is
that
we
should
be
seeing
federal
support
across
our
business
sectors
that
we're
not,
but
at
the
same
time
it
matters
how
you
do
things
and
it
matters
what
commitments
you
make
about
the
other
side
of
the
crisis
and
so
to
change
the
severance
policy
three
days
out,
so
that
your
workers
who
have
given
of
their
lives,
you
know
to
you
just
for
years
and
years
and
years,
get
less
than
what
should
be
due
to
them
and
to
not
guarantee
that
when
things
get
better
again
that
they
will
share
in
that
and
come
back
to
their
jobs,
you
know
that's
that's
not
the
way
that
we
want.
P
Our
companies
in
boston
to
handle
this,
and
so
I
think,
it's
really
important
for
us
to
to
speak
up
right
now
and
to
support
the
overall
right
to
recall
that
counselor
flynn
has
referenced,
and
I
also
just
want
to
say
that.
I
really
think
it's
commendable
that
local
26,
our
hotel
workers
union
has
been
at
the
forefront
of
helping
these
workers
at
the
marriott
copley
and
also
the
workers
at
the
four
seasons.
P
Despite
the
fact
that
neither
are
unionized
hotels
and
I
think
it
really
speaks
to
a
spirit
of
solidarity
and
an
aspiration
towards
sexual
bargaining
and
a
world
in
which
you
know
all
folks
who
are
working,
stand
together,
united
for
good
working
conditions
that
that's
the
approach
that
unite
here
has
taken.
So
I
want
to
thank
them
for
their
advocacy
and
thank
counselor
flynn
for
bringing
this.
Today
and
again,
please
add
my
name.
J
Oh,
I
see
you
got
your
skills
on
love,
jamie,
you
see
the
hulu
hands
and
everything
okay,
so
I
I
just
wanted
to
thank
the
maker
and
the
makers,
and
also
I
would
love
to
add
my
name.
J
You
know
I
often
talk
a
lot
about
my
mom
who
right
now
is
71
years
old
and
too
poor
to
retire
she's,
a
food
handler
and
at
a
college,
but
before
that
she
used
to
clean
offices
and
before
that
she
worked
at
a
hotel,
and
so
when
I
think
about
the
labor
movement
and
I
think
about
all
the
spaces
and
places
that
she
has
worked.
J
And
so
I
wanted
to
not
only
lend
my
name
to
this
resolution,
but
also
want
to
uplift
the
importance
of
labor
and
the
role
that
they
play
in
making
sure
that
people
have
the
type
of
working
conditions
and
the
pay
that
they
deserve,
and
so
really
do.
Thank
councillor
flynn
and
councilor
bach
for
your
continued
advocacy.
On
behalf
of
united
26
and
all
of
the
unions
that
are
representing
our
most
vulnerable
communities,
so
so
thank
you
for
your
work
and
please
add
my
name.
T
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
wanted
to
echo
thanks
to
the
sponsor
and
to
local
26
unite
here,
in
particular
for
their
advocacy,
always
on
behalf
of
of
workers
and
families
all
throughout
the
city,
not
even
just
unionized
workers,
not
even
just
hotel
workers
and
hospitality
workers.
But
this
is
a
time
of
tremendous
stress
and
financial
upheaval
and
risk
a
threat
to
people's
lives.
T
We
need
to
make
sure
that
the
burden
does
not
continue
to
be
passed
down
on
the
backs
of
working
families,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
voice
my
strong
support
here
and
and
say
that
you
know
this
council
has
always
done
whatever
we
can
do
for
workers
and
and
for
labor,
and
I'm
grateful
to
councillor
flynn
for
bringing
this
forward
once
again.
Today.
I
T
E
You
thank
you
so
much.
The
chair
recognizes
counselor
campbell.
B
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
just
quickly
wanted
to
thank
councillor
flynn
for
his
continued
leadership
here,
councillor
bach,
as
well
for
her
leadership
with
him
previously
many
of
the
essential
workers,
of
course,
that
you're
talking
about
in
this
industry,
live
in
my
district
and
and
are
hard-working.
Many
of
them
are
immigrants
and
are
the
backbones
of
you
know
not
only
the
backbone
of
the
economy,
but
it.
B
This
pandemic
has
reminded
us
that
we're
all
interconnected
and
that
the
folks
who
are
living
communities
of
color,
who
are
immigrants,
are
very
much
saving.
Many
of
us
right
as
we
as
we
maintain
our
livelihoods,
and
so
I
just
appreciate
your
leadership
here
I
often
have
been-
or
I
should
should
say
lately.
B
I've
been
talking
to
some
folks
who
feel
like
this
particular
industry
in
the
hospitality
industry
has
been
overlooked
in
some
of
the
conversations
around
recovery
or
relief,
and
so
I
appreciate
you
always
lifting
them
up
and
reminding
folks
that
this
is
an
industry
that
is
being
devastated
and
continues
to
be
anything.
We
can
do
to
support
support
local
26,
their
leadership
as
well
as
workers
on
the
ground
and
other
advocates,
with
respect
to
this
industry.
Happy
to
continue
that
in
partnership
with
you.
B
E
Thank
you
so
much
not
seeing
anyone
else
who
wants
to
speak
a
show
of
physical
hands
for
folks

The

late
fall
matter
has
been

we'll
move
on
to
the
third
late
foul
matter,
and
this
one
is
a
resolution
from
counselor
asabi
george,
madam
kirk,
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
read
that
first,
whereas
and
that
last
therefore
be
resolved,
as
we
did
with
the
last
one
into
the
record,
and
then
I'm
going
to
call
upon
the
counselor
to
speak.
Thank
you.
E
A
Thank
you
again,
madam
president,
on
friday
november
20th
we
will
recognize
transgender
day
of
remembrance,
as
this
is
transgender
awareness
week.
In
recent
years,
we
have
seen
far
greater
acceptance
and
celebration
of
transgender
and
gender
non-conforming
people.
Still.
Every
year
too
many
people
harass
are
violent
against
or
murder,
transgender
and
gender
non-conforming
people,
the
transgender
day
of
remnants,
began
in
1998
and
sparked
the
awareness
week
so
that
transgender
people
are
not
just
known
for
their
deaths,
but
also
for
their
lives
and
important
contributions
to
our
world.
A
We
can
all
do
more
to
uplift
the
voices
of
the
transgender
non-binary
and
gender
non-conforming
people,
and
to
do
and
to
do
all
we
can
to
ensure
that
they
are
able
to
live
full
lives
free
from
harassment
and
violence.
I
ask
that
we
suspend
the
rules,
pass
this
resolution
and
send
a
clear
message
to
our
transgender
residents,
as
we've
done
earlier
in
today's
agenda,
that
we
see
them
that
we
stand
with
them
and
that
we
fully
recognize
their
humanity
here
in
boston.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
A
E
You
so
much
I
am
now
looking
for
blue
hands
there.
They
are.
The
chair
recognizes
councilor
braden
councillor
braden.
You
have
the
floor.
Thank.
U
You,
madam
president,
I
I
want
to
express
my
gratitude
to
from
to
councillor
savvy
george
for
for
this
resolution.
Rita
herder
was
a
resident
of
austin
brighton
when
she
was
killed
and
she
was
the
person
that,
in
her
death,
instigated
the
first
vigil
to
commemorate
transgender
remembrance,
they've
remembered
transgender
people.
It's
very
sad
to
reflect
on
the
number
of
folks
who
are
transgender
or
non
non-binary
folks
who
exist
discrimination,
violence
and
death
every
day
in
our
nation
and
across
the
world
for
that
matter.
So
please
have
my
name.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you,
counselor
sabi
george,
for
bringing
this
this
forward.
I
know
that
black
black
trans
women
in
particular
face
a
lot
of
violence
in
this
space
and
I'm
grateful
for
the
leadership
that
this
council,
this
body
is
showing
in
terms
of
stepping
up
and
and
standing
up
with
our
folks
in
our
community.
So
thank
you
not
seeing
any
other
speakers
a
show
of
physical
hands
to
add
your
name.
E
Councillor
bach,
you
guys
leave
your
cameras
on
when
you
turn
your
cameras
off
the
screen
goes
crazy.
I'm
not
sure
where
I
left
off
did
everyone
who
wanted
to
add
their
name.
If
you
did
not
hear
me
say
your
name,
please,
I
got
lost
with
all
of
the
shifting
boxes.
I
think
I
have
everyone
if
you
could
also
please
add
the
chair,
madame
clark,
councillor
asabi
george,
or
what
would
just
vote
on
this
the
the
late
foul
matter.
This
is
a
resolution
again
offered
by
councillor
sabi
george,
madam
clerk.
H
S
L
L
Q
D
C
Madam
president,
the
third
lay
file
matter
did
receive
a
unanimous
vote.
E
Wonderful,
this
third
late
foul
matter,
which
is
a
resolution
from
counselor
isabe
george,
has
been
passed
before
we
move
on
to
the
green
sheets.
I
know
council
wasabi
george
had
to
step
out
briefly
during
the
meeting
for
her
appointment.
I
wanted
to
offer
you
the
opportunity
to
if
you've
missed
anything.
E
I
believe
you
wanted
to
vote
0998.
C
E
Thank
you
so
much
great
excellent.
So
now
we
will
move
on
to
the
green
sheets.
This
is
the
opportunity
for
anyone
in
the
council
to
remove
an
item
from
the
green
sheets
and
I
believe
we,
I
see
a
blue
hand,
counselor
wu.
You
want
to
remove
an
item.
T
Madam
clerk,
if
I
can
remove
nine
items,
please
I
believe
christine
o'donnell
have
has
emailed
everyone.
Would
you
like
me
to
read
all
of
them?
The
talking
numbers.
E
Them
up
so
I'm
going
to
have
the
the
clerk
read
the
the
dockets
into
the
record
and
while
she's
doing
that,
I'm
going
to
ask
colleagues
to
check
their
emails.
We're
also
going
to
pull
the
committee
and
then
once
everything
once
we've
done.
All
of
that
then
we'll
start
voting
one
by
one
on
these
dockets
and
I
will
allow
you
the
opportunity
council,
abu
to
speak
to
the
dockets.
E
Thank
you
very
much
while
folks
are
checking
their
email.
Madam
clerk,
if
you
wouldn't
mind
reading
these
dockets
and
then
also
polling,
the
committee.
E
C
Thank
you,
madam
president,
on

C
There

it
was
referred

committee
on

2020..
Would
you
now
like
me
to
re
poll
the
committee.
E
E
C
E
C
E
Yeah,
so
that
we're
just
pulling
from
the
committee,
the
committee
is
being
pulled.
So
not
everyone
is
on
the
committee.
Only
the
people
who
are
on
this
particular
committee,
adam
clerk,
is
going
to
read
their
names
and
you
guys
will
vote
to
get
it
out
of
committee.
Then
we'll
call
upon
wu
and
we're
going
to
vote
on
each
docket
after
they're
out
of
the
committee
individually.
X
C
Yes,
so
the
chair,
and
vice
chair
and
council
baker,
say
yes,
council
arroyo.
E
T
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
want
to
thank
all
of
my
colleagues.
Who've
been
part
of
various
hearings
that
we've
had
with
with
these
candidates
and
others,
or
these
nominees
and
others.
I
just
want
to
clarify
what
we
are
not
voting
on
today,
because
there
are
still
additional
appointments
in
committee
and
explain
why
not
everyone
is
coming
out.
So
first
we
at
our
hearing
last
week,
we
also
heard
from
new
nominees
for
the
bidva
board,
boston,
industrial
development,
financing
agency
board,
as
well
as
for
the
zoning
commission.
T
The
new
nominee
appeared
and
answered
some
questions,
but
there
was
a
wish
from
the
committee
and
from
the
council
to
have
the
reappointments
also
answer
the
same
questions
and
where
we'll
try
to
figure
out
whether
that
is
another
in-person
session
or
a
zoom
session,
or
just
an
email
back
and
forth.
So
that's
just
to
say,
we
also
had
heard
other
nominees
and
are
considering
them,
but
there's
a
few
more
steps
there.
T
So,
in
terms
of
these
three
batches,
the
beacon
hill,
architectural
commission,
the
landmarks
commission
and
zoning
board
of
appeals,
the
first
two
we
had
a
hearing
recently
great
support
from
community
and
from
counselors
and
from
the
administration.
Again,
these
are
all
volunteer
positions.
We're
very
grateful
for
their
service,
the
zoning
of
zoning
board
of
appeals.
T
I
just
want
to
know
that
this
is
a
follow-up
from
a
hearing
now,
several
months
ago,
on
the
two
architect,
architect,
seat
nominees
we
had
been
holding
off
and
in
fact
I
had
been
asking
the
administration
week
after
week
after
week,
if
they
had
made
a
decision,
because
there
was
one
issue
at
that
hearing-
which
I
remain
very
concerned
about
and
and
personally
unhappy
with,
which
is
that
all
of
the
black
and
latinx
members
appointed
to
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
are
in
alternate
spots,
including
the
very
very
qualified
women
of
color.
T
Who
we
heard
from
at
the
last
session.
We
had
an
extensive
back
and
forth
with
the
administration
about
whether
one
of
those
members
in
an
alternate
recommendation
could
be
moved
into
the
nomination
for
the
new
and
open
at
large
member
seat.
That
was
fully
within
the
mayor's
discretion.
We
did
not
get
a
response
and
finally,
I
set
a
deadline
and
said
we're
going
to
vote
on
these
no
matter
what-
and
I
will
just
add
my
own
commentary
at
this
meeting,
and
so
we
did
see
earlier
in
the
meeting.
T
T
I
will
just
express
that
I
remain
extremely
disappointed
and
frustrated
that
we
are
where
we
are
in
in
2020,
and
that
feedback
was
not
heard
by
councillors
or
by
others,
but
in
my
capacity
to
bring
forth
qualified
individuals
and
to
you
know
not
prevent
business
from
being
done
of
the
mayor's
dba
and
the
way
that
the
administration
wishes
to
conduct
this.
T
I
am
putting
you
know,
stopping
the
delay
and
putting
these
before
the
the
council,
because
we
do
need
to
have
an
architect
seated
on
the
board,
so
that
that
is
my
my
note
on
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
Madam
president.
T
E
You
so
much
so
we're
going
to
be
voting
on
each
of
these
dockets
and
we'll
be
voting
on
them
individually
and
through
a
roll
call
vote.
I'm
not
seeing
any
discussion,
I'm
just
going
to
take
us
through
these
dockets,
then,
okay,
good
councillor,
wu,
seeks
confirmation
and
we'll
start
with
of
docket
zero
zero.

Thank
you
so
much
and
now
we'll
move
on
to
announcements.
The
chair
recognizes
councillor
baker,
councillor
baker.
You
have
the
floor.

Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
want
to
remind
everybody
that
I'm
having
a
demonstration
will
actually
be
in
the
the
chambers
if
anybody
wants
to
see
it
and
it's
and
it's
cutting
edge
technology
that
that
will
ensure
and
safeguard
people
that
are
in
custody.
I
believe
that
this
technology
will
help
us
not
only
in
the
city
of
boston
but
in
the
in
the
state
in
the
country
avert
situations
like
what
happened
in
minneapolis
with
george
floyd.
X
It
will
be
a
quick,
quick
presentation
and
the
two
gentlemen
will
remain
there
for
for
questioning
they.
They
have
a
good
background
that
you
can
ask
them
about
if
anybody
can
make
it
it'll
be
much
appreciated.
That's
my
first
thing.
My
second
thing
on
the
memorial
today
is
one
of
my
older
brothers
and
it
and
it's
difficult
every
time
that
you
lose
someone.
It's
happened
for
me
quite
often,
my
brother
louis
was
a
sweet,
sweet,
caring,
loving
individual.
X
He
had
six
kids,
you
know,
but
he
suffered
with
addiction
pretty
much
his
whole
life.
X
We
we
buried
an
older
brother
with
a
heroin
overdose,
louis
buried,
a
daughter
with
a
heroin
overdose
and,
and
he
was
in
a
lot
of
pain
and
ultimately,
the
the
run
that
he
was
on
left
him
with
diabetes
and
a
whole
host
of
other
issues,
depression
being
one
of
them.
And
finally,
my
brother
lou
went
on
last
week
and
and
it's
difficult
because
we're
not
coming
from
a
tribe
and
you
can't
honor
your
your
your
people
that
go
before
you
in
this
covid
type
situation
that
we
have
going
on.
X
E
H
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
just
want
to
extend
my
own
very
heartfelt
condolences
to
councillor
baker,
I
very
close
to
my
family
and
my
siblings,
and
the
thought
of
losing
any
of
them
is
incredibly
difficult,
and
so
my
thoughts
are
with
you
during
this
period
in
time,
and
I
do
hope
you
you
get
some
peace
and
sometimes
to
really
you
know,
focus
on
yourself
on
that
grief.
H
H
He
was
blessed
in
his
life
to
have
nine
children
and
over
23
grandchildren
and
unfortunately,
due
to
the
timing
of
his
passing
he's,
not
an
official
person
that
we're
closing
in
memory
of,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
honor
him
here
because
of
the
impact
he
had
on
so
many
immigrants
in
our
community
and
the
impact
that
he's
had
on
his
his
own
family,
and
so
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
reflect
on
him
and
give
him
his
due
at
this
meeting.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
R
Thank
you,
madam
president,
also
extended
condolences
to
to
frank
and
their
extended
family.
It's
a
big
family,
but
it's
also
a
family
that
has
contributed
a
lot
to
our
city,
as
did
lewis
and
the
rest
of
his
family,
so
hanging
there
frankie.
I
just
want
to
give
a
cpa
announcement
and
let
folks
know
that
this.
V
R
R
Step
on
cpa,
the
community
preservation
received
28.6
match
on
round
one
of
the
trust
fund,
distribution
and
the
base
match
is
significantly
higher
this
year
due
to
an
increase
in
the
cpa,
trust
fund,
and
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
suffolk
county
registered
deeds,
steve
murphy.
O
R
E
Yes,
and
so,
if
that
is
important,.
N
E
R
So
very
good,
so
we
received
this
28.6
match
on
round
one
of
the
trust
fund,
distribution
and
that
matches
significantly
higher
due
to
recent
years,
because
we
increased
the
cpa,
trust
fund
and
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
city
council,
suffolk,
county,
registered
deed,
steve
murphy,
who
gave
us
the
heads
up
on
this,
and
we
on
the
council,
both
council
campbell
and
I,
in
partnership
with
the
rest
of
the
council,
filed
a
resolution
increasing
the
recording
fees
at
the
registry
of
deeds
that
provided
an
increase
in
revenue
for
the
cpa
community.
R
So
in
december
of
we're
going
to
see
more
than
a
double
the
monthly
revenue,
and
without
that
legislation
the
base
match
would
have
probably
plummeted
into
single
digits.
So
this
year,
boston
received
over
six
million
dollars
to
be
exact.
Six
million
one
hundred
eighty
one
thousand
five
hundred
seventeen
trust
fund
distribution,
which
was
the
largest
in
the
commonwealth,
so
great
job
on
the
cpa
and
so
glad
it
passed.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
E
Thank
you.
Let
me
also
I
reached
out
to
frank
privately
this
morning,
but
let
me
also
just
publicly
say:
councillor:
baker
offer
my
deep
condolences
to
you
and
your
family
you've
underscored
not
only
that
so
many
families
have
lost
loved
ones
this
year,
but
the
difficulty
and
not
being
able
to
mourn
and
have
some
sort
of
resolution
and
come
together.
So
thank
you
for
highlighting
that.
We
will
certainly
honor
your
brother
today
in
tribute.
