Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).

A
A
Obviously
you
see
that
the
floor
is
now
level
with
all
of
the
entrances,
for
universal
accessibility
to
the
floor,
to
the
the
rostrum
up
here
and
to
all
the
council
seats,
we
have
new,
energy-efficient
LED
lighting,
I
know
at
least
some
of
us
to
be
very
proud
of
that
there
we're
working
on
finishing
up
the
wheelchair,
friendly
seating
right
here
in
this
first
row,
there'll
be
companion,
seating
there
to
accompany
that
as
well.
You
see
some
extra
screen
so
that
everybody
can
see
the
closed
captioning
from
all
across
the
chamber.
A
What
am
I
missing
here?
Let
me
see
Oh
curtains
in
the
back
to
help
with
some
of
the
the
sound
bouncing
off
everywhere
and
some
sound
treatments
up
above
too
so,
hopefully
you'll
be
able
to
hear
better,
all
throughout
and
just
more
brightness
and
and
liveliness
and
openness
to
the
space.
So
as
as
the
chief
was
informing
me,
there's
still
a
little
bit
of
stuff
left
to
go.
So
after
today's
meeting
there's
going
to
be
some
more
work,
some
greats
or
the
lights
and
panels
to
be
done.

A
D
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
welcome
everyone.
It
is
a
very
appropriate
as
we
return
to
our
home
as
as
counselors
that
we
have
before
us
this
afternoon,
someone
who
has
made
it
her
her
business
to
create
spiritual
home
for
people
every
day.
She
is
a
dear
friend,
a
woman
of
conscience,
of
compassion
and
conviction.
D
I
do
believe
she's
been
on
the
frontlines,
probably
since
utero
of
every
racial
social,
economic,
green
justice
issue,
I'm
introducing
her
to
some
of
you
reintroducing
you
her
to
most
of
you
as
she.
Her
good
work
has
been
chronicled
on
GBH
the
globe.
The
base
state
banner.
We
are
just
so
very
proud
of
her,
and
it
is
our
honor
to
have
her
today
to
offer
the
invocation
I
do
want
to
just
read
a
little
bit
from
her
bio
Reverend.
D
Maruyama

Please
join
us.
E
Good
afternoon,
oh,
you
guys
can
do
a
little
bit
better
than
that
good
afternoon.
Thank
you.
It
is
so
good
to
be
here
in
this
new
space
to
see
it
renovated
and
hopefully,
revitalized
in
a
way
and
I.
Ask
that
you
would
bow
your
heads
with
me
and
as
we
call
upon
our
Creator
in
this
moment-
oh
god,
we
thank
you
so
much
for
the
remembrance
this
morning
this
afternoon,
rather
that
this
land
that
we
live
in
is
your
land.
E
E
We
bless
this
space,
this
newly
renovated
space,
and
we
thank
you
that
in
many
ways
it
demonstrates
that
which
you've
called
us
to
do
God
you've
called
us
to
make
our
spaces
accessible
to
everybody,
and
so
we
thank
you
for
the
fact
that
it
is
accessible
to
those
who
have
mobility
challenges.
God.
You
called
us
to
be
good
stewards
of
the
earth,
and
so
we
thank
you
that
the
LED
bulbs
are
using
less
energy
than
those
who
are
those
that
were
here
before
and
God.
E
We
know
that
you
call
us
to
work
together,
and
so,
even
as
we
are
here,
we
remind
ourselves
that
in
your
eyes
there
is
no
distinction
of
persons
that
each
of
us,
as
citizens
are
called
to
be
part
of
the
process
of
figuring
out
how
we
share
this
land.
That
is
yours
as
we
go
into
the
weekend.
We
also
remember
that
far
too
often,
we
have
come
to
this
land
because
of
painful
things.
E
So
today
we
think
of
those
in
Texas
and
Florida
Barbuda,
Dominica
and
Puerto
Rico,
who
right
now
are
living
with
the
consequences
of
our
decisions,
and
we
ask
that
you
would
guide
us
so
that,
now
that
we
know
we
would
do
better
that
we
would
be
better
that
we
would
take
every
opportunity
to
address
climate
change
like
the
crisis
that
it
is
and
God
we
don't
forget.
Our
people
in
Las
Vegas,
who
only
days
ago,
woke
up
to
find
that
loved
ones
are
no
longer
with
them.
E
E
E
Thank
you
for
the
fact
that
you
have
kept
us
as
a
city
for
so
long,
and
we
trust
that
you
will
bring
us
into
the
next
place
to
which
we
were
called,
that
you
will
bring
us
there
together
and
that
we
will
be
unafraid
to
be
courageous,
doing
that
which
we
have
been
called
to
do
in
this.
Your
land
I
ask
all
of
this,
and
whatever
name
that
you
call
the
divine
I
call
in
the
name
of
Jesus
Christ
may
we
all
say
together,
amen.
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
four
representatives
of
the
Renegades
to
come
on
down
but
I
will
get
started.
I
know
we
have
a
busy
agenda
today,
exciting
to
welcome
back
the
Boston
renegades
football
team,
the
women's
professional
football
team
from
Boston.
They
were
here
with
us
last
year,
and
this
year
we
are
celebrating.
Although
I
know
it's
still
a
touchy
subject
that
they
were
in
the
championship
game.
Not
too
long
ago,
there
were
Conference
champions.
F
And
I'm
just
so
proud
to
have
them
here
with
us
and
representing
the
city
of
Boston
at
council,
McCarthy
and
I
were
able
to
go
to
one
of
their
games
and
I
do
the
coin
flip
over
at
a
cm?
Well,
I
got
the
full
tour
of
the
facilities
from
councillor
McCarthy,
but
also
to
see
these
women
and
their
teammates
and
coaches
and
opponents
play
a
really
incredible
game
of
football,
and
you
know
this
has
been
for
the
last
couple
years.
F
A
joy
for
me
and
I
think
my
team
and
I
hope
many
of
you
to
get
to
know
them
a
little
better
and
it
all
came
out
of
delayed
flights
at
LaGuardia
Airport,
where
Brooke
and
I
is
one
of
the
team
captains
found
ourselves
sitting
there
I
think
you
were
stretching
out
on
the
floor
after
a
game
and
I
said
yes.
What
does
this
person
do?
What
are
you
doing
lying
on
the
floor
of
the
airport?
F
And
she
told
me
she
just
played
a
football
game
said
what
kind
of
football
the
women's
professional
football
team
from
Boston
and
it
was
a
real
opportunity.
I
thought
to
help
get
them.
Some
recognition
here
in
the
city
well
deserved
to
help
broaden
the
outreach
efforts,
because
you
know
it's
hard
for
any
team
to
play
in
the
shadow
I
think
of
the
New
England
Patriots
these
days
and
it's
important
that
we
celebrate
their
efforts
in
their
work.
These
these
women
and
their
teammates.
You
know
our
self
funding
their
fundraising
all
the
time.
F
F
G
Thank
you
for
having
us
I'll
keep
this
quick,
because
I,
don't
like
public
speaking
I'd,
rather
just
play
sports
being
a
football
player,
is
one
of
the
most
incredible
things
I've
ever
done
during
the
day.
I'm
a
scientist
like
all
of
us.
We
have
day
jobs.
That's
why
our
group
here
is
a
little
small
because
everybody's
at
work,
but
we
just
you
know
we're
thankful
that
we've
had
the
opportunity
to
get
our
names
out
there.
G
We
just
want
people
to
know
that
women
do
play
football,
tackle
football
with
pads
and
helmets
and
the
whole
nine.
So
if
you
want,
you
know
to
support
us
in
any
way
we
sell
gear,
we
sell
season
tickets
and
we
have
different
events
for
children
in
the
area.
So
if
you
want
to
check
out
our
website
or
Facebook
page
Instagram,
we're
very
big
into
social
media,
you
can
follow
us
there
and
find
out
more
information.
So
thanks.
C
A
Quick
note
chief
Brophy
has
asked
me
to
pass
this
along
we're
still
one
of
the
pieces.
We're
waiting
for
to
come
in
is
just
a
protective
surface
on
the
desks
right
in
front
of
everyone.
So
if
you
could
just
be
a
little
careful
as
you're
writing
things
down
on
pen
can,
if
you
can
write
it
sort
of
on
the
folder
or
another
surface,
we
want
to
be
very
careful
and
preserve
the
taxpayer-funded
furniture
and
until
the
final
surface
is
on
there.
A
C
Number

seven
messaging
auto-attendant
City
Boston
to
accept
and
extend
an
additional
amount
of
six
million,
seven
hundred
and
eight
thousand
dollars
for

Port
Authority.
For
the
purposes
stated
in
the
amendment
to
the
foundation,
grant
an
East

foundation,
Declaration

H
You,
madam
president,
I
rise
to
ask
that
we
suspend
and
passed
on
docket
number
1
to
97.
This
is
a
mitigation
to
the
East
Boston
community
from
Massport,
and
we've
been
doing
this
for
over
20
years.
Finally,
the
neighborhood's
working
with
mass
support
to
address
some
of
the
issues
this
year.
All
the
neighbourhood
presidents
met
to
work
out
this
agreement
and
it's
a
very
good
agreement.
Is
it's
money
to
fund
the
foundation
for
another
10
years?
H
There's
money
in
there
to
open
a
new
Senior
Center
to
operate
a
new
Senior
Center
in
East
Boston
and
this
foundation.
It
really
supports
a
lot
of
nonprofits
in
East
Boston,
including
zoomx
et
Friday,
which
is
a
big
event
to
the
neighborhood.
A
lot
of
the
schools
churches
seniors
on
the
YMCA.
So
it's
a
good
thing,
so
I
just
ask
that
the
members
of
audio
we
support
the
stay.
Thank
you.

I
You,
madam
president,
and
just
ask
for
everyone's
indulgence,
so
this
has
been
a
very
lengthy
but
very
transparent
process
involving
many
parties,
so
asking
your
indulgence
to
read
what
I
consider
to
be
sort
of
an
exhaustive
report,
but
puts
everything
in
perspective.
This
matter
was
sponsored
by
Mayor
Martin
Walsh,
originally
under
some
of
the
7th
of
2016
that
carried
over
to
January
11th
of
2017.
The
purpose
of
this
Home
Rule
petition
is
to
offer
guidelines
for
both
tenants
and
landlords
who
encounter
situations
that
may
lead
to
the
eviction
of
a
tenant.
I
After
a
6-hour
public
hearing
that
was
held
on
March,
the
6th
of
2017,
followed
up
by
a
lengthy
working
session
on
May,
the
8th
of
2017
we're
at
public
testimony
from
the
city
of
Boston
chief
Sheila
Dillon
of
D&D
Deputy,
Director,
Lydia
Edwards
of
the
office
of
housing
stability
that
both
supported
this
proposed
legislation.
We
also
heard
testimony
from
proponents
a
variety
of
community-based
organizations,
along
with
opponents
of
real
estate,
attorneys
property
owners,
etc.
I
The
matters
that
were
discussed
at
both
the
hearing
in
the
working
session
in
clue
the
need
for
a
housing
market
that
complements
the
population,
growth
in
the
city,
solutions
to
high
cost
of
rent
in
displacement,
the
rights
of
landlords
versus
tenants
and
tenants
versus
landlords,
and
how
an
educational
component
may
be
beneficial.
The
current
process
in
place
for
eviction
and
housing
court
proceedings,
the
legal
implications
that
this
legislation
could
have,
such
as
making
it
more
difficult
to
remove
bad
tenants
from
a
property.
How
this
will
affect
residential
development
in
our
city?
I
How
this
proposal
may
or
may
not
be
a
form
of
rent
control.
The
administration
stated
on
the
record
that
it
was
not.
Opponents
of
the
proposed
proposal
explained
that
there
are
existing
state
laws
in
place
that
currently
governed
landlord
and
tenant
relationships,
and
that
certain
provisions
in
the
proposal
would
bypass
the
traditionally
traditional
housing
court
method,
quick
presented
in
a
new
draft
to
clarify
the
intent
into
place
notice
requirements
on
the
landlord's.
I
The
following
changes
include
revisions
to
the
purpose
clause
in
order
to
make
it
clear
that
the
purpose
of
the
proposal
is
to
provide
stability
of
housing
in
order
to
promote
stability.
The
amended
draft
notice
requirements
are
on
the
landlord
in
the
foreclosing
homeowner,
requiring
landlords
or
foreclosing
homeowners
to
provide
tenant
information
concerning
their
basic
housing
rights
and
resources
when
serving
and
notice
to
quit
or
other
notice
of
lease
non-renewal
or
expiration.
I
Action
against
the
tenant
or
form
a
homeowner,
along
with
the
city's
rights
notice,
the
landlord
or
foreclosing
owner
shall
also
provide
a
copy
or
copies
of
the
after
mentions
city
termination
notice
to
the
office
of
housing
stability
under
the
definition
section.
It's
the
super,
loose
definition
has
been
removed
that
do
not
have
any
legal
effect
on
this
proposal.
There
has
also
been
removal
in
or
conditions
of
terms
of
consistency
under
the
applicability
provision
of
section.
4
of
changes
have
been
made.
I
Subsection
II
has
been
amended
by
striking
the
paragraph
has
initially
filed
and
replacing
it
with
public
housing
units
managed
by
the
Boston,
Housing
Authority
and
other
residential
rental
units
such
as
federal
public
housing
that
are
subsidized
and
regulated
and
federal
laws.
To
the
extent
such
applicable
federal
law
is
expressly
pre-emptive.
Is
of
this
act.
I
The
provisions
in
section
5
in
the
initial
document
that
identify
conditions
in
order
to
evict
have
been
removed
because
of
the
perfection
protections
in
place
on
the
state
law
and
the
procedures
currently
available
in
housing
court,
the
amended
version
would
require
nanak
will
form
a
homeowner
with
the
notice
of
basic
housing
rights
and
resources,
as
well
as
city
termination
notice,
on
the
forms
prepared
by
the
city
of
Boston's
office
of
housing
stability.
A
new
section,
5a,
has
been
added
section.
I
5A
establishes
just
cause
eviction
for
homeowners,
section
5a
would
prevent
a
foreclosing
owner
from
recovering
possession
of
housing
accommodation
unless
the
Court
finds
that
certain
conditions
are
met.
And,
lastly,
the
remedy
section
has
also
been
amended
to
include
the
following
provisions:
dismissal
of
action
for
failure
to
provide
notice
of
rights,
dismissal
of
action
for
failure
to
provide
the
tenant
or
form
owner
form
a
homeowner
or
a
timely
City
termination
notice,
and
a
provision
indicating
that
the
remedy
section
of
the
Act
is
not
exclusive.
I
The
grounds
for
eviction
provision
and
the
damages
provision
have
also
been
removed.
Rationale
for
having
this
matter
passed
a
new
draft.
This
matter,
as
we
all
know,
has
been
a
very
long-term
ongoing
conversation
with
many
stakeholders.
There
are
many
pieces
of
this
that
are
governed
by
state
law
and
there
is
no
doubt
that
residents
in
Boston
are
being
priced
out
and
or
in
some
instances
kicked
out.
There
was
a
consensus
on
the
importance
of
data
collection.
We
heard
loud
and
clear
from
both
the
hearing
in
the
working
session.
I
What
is
really
needed
as
the
data
collection
city
of
Boston's,
tremendous
resources
between
the
VRA
and
D&D
and
now
coming
online?
The
very
near
future
cpa
funding
will
be
there
where
the
directed
is
really
the
question
and
getting
the
data
to
find
out
where
the
displacement
is
taking
place
and
more
specifically,
who's
doing.
It
will
really
be.
I
The
crux
of
what
both
council
of
baker
and
council
is
akin
will
be
speaking
on
shortly
than
an
ordinance
that
we
are
introducing
today,
as
really
the
sum
and
substance
of
what
we
learned
from
both
the
hearing
in
the
working
session,
but
requiring
the
landlords
also
notify
the
city.
When
exercising
a
right
of
lease
of
non-renewal
or
exploration,
may
our
expiration
may
further
assist
in
Allston,
preventing
the
ability
to
recover
possession
upon
failure
to
do
so
provides
the
city
with
the
enforcement
authority
and
the
capabilities.
I
I
Bringing
logistical
and
these
legal
concerns
to
our
attention
and
making
sure
that
the
revisions
are
reflected
properly
and
that
I
word
here
into
current
state
law.
To
my
colleagues
and
their
staff
that
have
been
part
of
this
conversation
and
also
to
the
real
estate.
Folks,
they've
been
an
equal
partner,
specifically
the
Greater
Boston
real
estate
board
in
the
small
property
owners
association
along
with
individual
landlords.
We
took
time
out
of
their
schedule
to
come
down
to
City
Hall
to
have
their
voices
heard,
and
we
very
much
and
I'm
very
want
to
emphasize
this.
I
We
very
much
understand
the
legal,
financial
and
logistical
concerns
that
you
raised
and
would
like
to
say
that
this
is
going
to
be
an
ongoing
conversation.
So
it's
chair
of
this
committee
on
government
operations
with
respect
to
docket
zero,
such
an
order
approving
a
petition
for
the
special
law
known
as
the
Jim
Brooke
stabilization
Act,
also
known
as
Jessica's
eviction.
I'm
submitting
a
report
recommending
that
the
docket
ought
to
pass
in
a
new
draft.
Thank
You
miniature.
F
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
thank
kaljaa
Flaherty
for
chairing,
obviously
chairing
govern
Operations,
Committee
and
working
through
this
process,
as
evidenced
by
the
committee
report.
This
was
a
long,
extensive
process
of
many
stakeholders.
I
want
to
thank
many
of
the
folks
who
are
here
today
who
participated
in
who
was
advocates
on
both
sides.
It
was
certainly
interesting
process
and,
as
a
chair
of
the
Committee
on
housing,
community
development,
I
think
we've
come
out
with
a
good
product
and
I
look
forward
to
voting
in
favor
of
the
bill
today,
I
think.
F
As
councilor
flowery
said,
we
had
a
ongoing
discussion
with
numerous
stakeholders
from
tenant
advocates
from
some
of
the
advocacy
organizations
he
named
from
the
real
estate
community
from
the
mayor's
office,
and
obviously
many
of
our
colleagues
I
think
we've
presented
what
is
an
interesting
and
an
important
approach
forward
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
ordinance
that
councillor,
Baker
and
I
are
introducing
later
when
that
comes
up
on
the
agenda.
But
we
found
I
think
a
two-pronged
approach.
F
That
I
am
hopeful
when
enacted
will
make
a
real
difference
in
our
community
to
make
sure
that
folks
are
not
being
displaced,
while
at
the
same
time
making
sure
that
when
people
there
is
a
just
cause
for
eviction
that
folks
can
be
removed
when
it's
deserved,
but
in
the
meantime
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
who
participate
in
this
process.
I'm
excited
to
vote
on
this
bill
today.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
last
night
I
joined
all
the
candidates
running
for
City
Council
at-large
for
form
in
Roslindale.
The
very
first
question
posed
to
us
was
about
the
housing
crisis
and
what
we
can
and
would
do
to
stem
displacement.
Of
course,
this
was
in
Roslindale,
but
we
get
asked
this
question
in
every
room
and
every
neighborhood
that
we
are
in
and
I
will
say
what
I
said
last
night.
D
Housing
is
a
human
right,
and
the
displacement
of
families
needs
to
be
addressed
as
the
public
health
crisis,
but
it
is
being
evicted,
is
destabilizing
and
devastating
to
our
families
and
our
neighborhoods
and
threatens
the
very
diversity
that
we
say
we
value
and
celebrate
as
a
city.
My
directive
constituent
services,
spends
about
60%
of
her
time
addressing
concerns
around
safe,
clean
and
affordable
housing,
and
while
certain
neighborhoods
are
feeling
the
burden
more
acutely
and
publicly
displacement
is
happening
in
every
single
neighborhood.
D
The
office
of
housing
stability
as
well-
and
it
is
unfortunate
that
at
times
during
this
debate
about
this
legislation,
it
has
pitted
a
landlord
against
tenant
and
vice
versa.
But
surely
we
can
all
agree
and
have
come
to
a
place
to
recognize
that
everyone,
regardless
of
their
position
or
wealth,
what
an
or
homeowner
deserves
to
know
their
rights,
and
that
is
why
I'm
supporting
this
legislation
today,
we
cannot
fully
address
a
problem.
D
We
do
not
have
complete
data,
for
we
need
to
know
who,
where
and
how
evictions
are
happening
in
the
city
and
for
a
host
of
reasons.
We
have
not
been
able
to
access
the
housing
court
data
around
this
issue,
but
even
putting
those
challenges
aside,
we
know
that
this
would
not
give
us
the
full
picture
of
displacement
and
that's
why
we
need
the
Jim
Brooke
stabilization
act.
So
again,
I
want
to
come
in
the
coalition.
D
A
You
councillor,
firstly,
I
just
want
I
just
want
to
remind
everyone.
We
so
appreciate
that
you're
here
it's
a
new
space,
but
the
rules
are
the
same.
We
ask
for
silent
appreciation
just
to
make
sure
that
everybody
can
hear
everything
that's
happening.
So
you
know,
emotions
aren't
high,
we're
so
happy
you're
here,
but
please
just
use
fingers
instead
of
instead
of
applause
thanks
counselor
sabe
Jorge.
J
You
of
the
floor.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
rise
today
in
support
of
the
Jim
Brooke
stabilization
act
would
like
to
thank
the
administration
all
of
my
colleagues,
especially
those
that
spent
sort
of
the
bulk
of
the
their
time,
most
recently
on
this
work
and,
of
course,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
advocates
for
participating
in
this
process.
We've
heard
from
so
many
constituents
and
to
everyone
who
was
called
and
emailed
and
testified
at
a
hearing.
Thank
you.
J
We
are
in
the
middle
of
Boston's
biggest
boom
and
every
day
we
are
scrambling
to
help
people
who
are
being
swept
up
in
the
tide
of
change
and
the
reality
is.
We
have
very
few
tools
to
help.
Although
I
am
proud
to
support
this
home
rule
petition
today,
I'd
like
to
point
out
that
there
is
still
work
to
do
and
we
need
everyone's
help
to
do
it.
As
chair
of
the
Committee
on
homelessness,
mental
health
and
recovery,
my
primary
concern
has
been
that
those
that
are
most
vulnerable.
J
We
know
that
the
top
Victor's
in
the
city
are
actually
some
of
our
largest
owners
of
subsidized
in
affordable
housing.
We
have
not
addressed
that
issue
at
the
same
time,
I
believe
that
this
process
has
shone
a
light
on
the
challenges
that
many
of
our
small
property
owners
face
and
I
hope
that
we
can
continue
the
conversation
about
escrow
accounts
and
technical
support
for
small
and
Lorde's,
many
of
whom
are
doing
the
right
thing
by
their
tenants.
J
K
Believe
the
floor,
thank
you,
madam
president.
I
want
to
thank
counselor,
Flaherty
and
and
for
your
work
on
this,
and
also
the
mayor
for
supporting
this
and
his
administration
for
their
work
on
this,
along
with
D
and
D
I
want
to
sort
of
echo
councillor
Presley's
comments
about.
You
know
the
calls
that
we
get
through
constituent
services.
K
K
The
problem
and
I
was
extremely
devastated
to
learn
that
this
might
do
very
little,
so
I'm
excited
that
it's
going
to
pass
today
and
I
hope
it
will
I
think
it
will
I'm
excited
about
that,
but
I'm
concerned
about
whether
or
not
this
will
actually
address
the
nature
of
the
problem.
This
is
a
serious
problem,
the
city
of
Boston,
it's
a
crisis,
so
we
need
solutions
that
arise
to
the
level
to
actually
allow
people
to
stay
in
this
city.
So
this
is
one
step.
We
have
many
steps.
K
We
have
to
take
I,
look
forward
to
working
with
landlords,
those
who
are
involved
in
the
real
estate
market
I
think
they
have
fins
and
many
of
them
brought
them
to
our
office,
and
many
of
them
were
concerned
at
this
statute,
and
this
ordinance
also
would
not
address
the
crisis
and
had
some
incredible
creative
ideas.
So
I
hope
that
we
can
set
up
painting
adverse
painting
it
as
us-versus-them
that
we
can
come
together
to
come
up
with
even
more
solutions
to
keep
people
in
their
home
before
it's
frankly
too
late.
K
I
want
to
thank
the
Advocate
I
want
to
thank
the
advocates,
especially
for
holding
us
as
electives
accountable.
Many
of
us
when
we
campaign
said
we're
gonna
support,
Just
Cause
eviction,
and
then
you
guys
came
and
we're
like.
Well,
we
don't
really
know
so.
Thank
you
for
holding
us
accountable.
We
only
get
things
done
at
this
level
when
you
guys
show
up
I
tell
folks
in
my
district.
All
the
time
show
up,
though,
turnout
show
but
hearing
send
us
emails
call
our
office.
We
want
to
be
involved.
We
want
to
get
things
done.
K
L
L
Who's
worked
on
this,
especially
chairman
flower
T,
for
for
his
efforts
to
continue
to
diligently
work
on
a
very
difficult
matter,
listening
to
all
sides,
the
administration
and
how
folks
are
trying
to
come
together
around
this
particular
piece
of
legislation,
but
I
rise
to
say,
I
will
not
support
this
I.
Don't
think
that
this
truly
addresses
the
matter.
L
I
One
last
when
I
mentioned
her
in
micronics,
but
he
just
actually
saw
she
was
here.
I
wanted
to
single
out
the
great
work
of
Chief
Sheila
Dillon
from
D
&
D,
very,
very
passionate
about
the
issue
of
housing.
But
was
she
deserves
a
round
of
applause,
but
I
know
I'm
violating
the
but
she's
very
passionate
about
housing
and
the
issues
of
housing
in
our
city
very
thoughtful,
very
deliberative,
excellent.
To
deal
with
in
this
process.
M
You,
madam
president,
I
rise
in
support
of
this
matter
and
I
want
to
thank
councillor
Flaherty
and
others
on
our
council
for
the
work
that
they
have
done.
I
also
want
to
thank,
in
particular,
the
advocates
who
force
this,
because
I
do
want
to
note
that
this
administration
was
slow
on
this
matter.
They
dragged
their
feet
on
this
matter.
Madam
President
and
ran
the
clock
on
this
matter
and
I
believe.
M
In
that
time
many
people
were
harmed.
Many
people
were
displaced
and
many
folks
don't
currently
live
in
the
city
because
of
the
foot
dragging
that
has
occurred.
So,
let's,
let's
talk
about
the
city
of
Boston
in
terms
of
rents,
Zillow
says
that
the
average
price
of
all
apartments
is
two
thousand
four
hundred
and
eighty
dollars
jumper.
Has
it
at
three
thousand
fifty
eight
dollars
for
all
bedrooms?
M
M
M
68%
of
Bostonians
are
renters,
nearly
half
are
rent
burdened
and
the
wages
have
been
stagnant
and
I
would
note
55%
of
renters
or
people
of
color
in
the
city
of
Boston.
The
question
is:
is
Boston
great
for
everybody
and
not
just
some
people?
My
friend
who's
next
to
me
to
my
left,
councillor,
llama
Tina
and
East
Boston
development
pressures
have
driven
up
rent
increases
to
nearly
30%
increases
on
an
annual
basis
and
I
guess.
M
It
is
going
to
require
courageous
leadership
to
do
something
about
this.
It
is
not
a
require.
Yes,
the
Jim
Brooks
act
would
shine
some
sunshine
on
on
this,
and
I
would
note
that
symbolic
changes
mean
nothing
without
real
substantive
action,
and
this
is
one
baby
step
and
making
rosy
claims
that
rental
costs
are
going
down.
Do
nothing
for
the
people
who
call
our
offices
who
are
being
displaced
on
an
annual
basis
and
on
a
daily
basis.
It
is
going
to
require
courageous
leadership.
M
It's
going
to
require
courageous
leadership
that
steps
forward
and
increases
the
IDP
from
13%.
Madam
president,
to
25%
in
the
city
of
Boston
Madam
President
is
going
to
require
courageous
leadership
that
it's
going
to
state
that
on
any
parcel
of
City
land
that
leaves
the
city's
hands.
There
needs
to
be
30%,
low-income,
30%,
middle
income
and
30%
market
rate,
30
30
30,
or
you
don't
get
it.
We
must
as
a
body
step
forward
and
not
only
make
plans
for
the
richest
of
those.
M
We
had
a
whole
department
in
this
building
that
was
created
for
Boston
2024,
Olympics
a
whole
department.
We
had
tens
of
employees
who
planned
for
an
IndyCar
race
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
we
had.
We
have
an
administration
that
was
willing
to
give
25
million
dollars
to
one
of
the
richest
countries
and
companies
in
the
history
of
man,
a
General
Electric.
It
is
about
time.
M
N
N
For
me,
it's
not
always
great
for
you,
but
all
you
have
to
do
is
go
around
to
some
other
cities,
see
what's
going
on
and
see
that
those
cities
are
suffering
so
to
be
in
a
city
where
people
actually
want
to
be
and
actually
want
to
move
to.
I
remember
the
days
when,
if
you
want
a
tree
deck
or
a
lot
of
times,
the
the
rent
didn't
even
pay
the
mortgage,
so
I
remember
those
days.
I
don't
want
to
go
back
to
those
days
and
I
also
wanted
to
commend,
especially
counselors
a
come.
N
Who
was
along
for
the
entire
ride
here
and
also
counselor
counselor
flower
tea,
who
really
wrapped
it
all
together,
and
maybe
it's
not
everything
that
yeah
the
advocates
want.
It's
certainly
not
everything
that
the
real
estate
community
wants.
Maybe
that's
good
legislation
nobody's
happy
so,
but
thank
you.
I
will
be
supporting
this
today.
A
I
Through
the
chair,
just
a
requirement
from
one
of
our
colleagues
I
just
want
to
explain
so
the
delay
and
to
say
that
the
mayor
filed
us
in
2016.
He
wanted
a
past
in
2016
and
it
was
refiled
in
2017.
He
wanted
to
pass
right
out
of
the
gate.
In
fact,
he
had
asked
me
a
hundred
times
what's
going
on
with
this.
I
So
so
that
was
really
the
the
the
impetus
behind
the
delay.
There
was
no
intentional
slow
dance.
It
clearly
was
not
at
the
mayor's
directive.
In
fact
it
was
to
the
contrary.
They
may
have
kept
saying:
let's
get
this
done,
let's
pass
this.
Let's
pass
this,
of
course,
as
the
chair
of
government
operations,
with
two
hands
on
the
wheel,
the
entire
time
working
with
colleagues,
but
also
working
with
sort
of
a
broader
base
community
out
there,
it
took
a
little
bit
longer
than
probably
one
would
expect,
but
again
we're
here
today.
I
That's
obviously
celebrate
a
great
opportunity
to
in
the
memory
of
Jim
Brooks
to
move
something
forward
and,
as
I
had
alluded
to-
and
my
final
comments
was
that
this
is
an
ongoing
discussion.
This
is
an
ongoing
process.
We
have
in
this
docket
today
an
ordinance
that
also,
hopefully,
will
speak
to
the
other
piece
that
rose
to
the
top,
but
I
just
wanna
make
sure
that
we're
all
in
this
together
there's
no
one
photo
blaming
I.

Madam
president,.
C
O
You,
madam
president,
the
action
we're
about
to
take
may
rank
among
the
most
important
things.
Many
of
us
do
this
year.
I
want
to
begin
by
thanking
my
co-sponsor
on
this
initiative.
The
City
Council
President,
Michelle
Wu
who's
been
a
great
partner
and
friend
to
me
on
this,
and
so
many
other
environmental
initiatives.
O
She
has
become
a
trusted
partner,
a
dear
friend,
a
very
grateful
for
your
leadership
and
collaboration
on
this,
particularly
for
her
team,
and
my
team.
I
want
to
thank
Jessica
Mars
from
my
team,
as
well
as
central
staff,
who
has
really
helped
carry
this
through
the
and
really
been
the
glue
that
has
helped
to
hold
it
together.
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you,
my
colleagues,
for
your
engagement
throughout
this
process.
You
asked
thoughtful
questions
and
you
pushed
to
make
this
order
better.
I'd
like
to
thank
mayor
Walsh
and
his
team.
O
Finally,
and
most
importantly,
I
want
to
thank
the
advocates
who
have
made
this
day
a
reality
to
became
the
green
justice
coalition.
West
Roxbury
saves
energy,
350.org,
ace,
BCE,
CB,
Sachs,
CPA,
community
labor,
united
greeting
Razi,
mothers
out
front
environment,
Massachusetts
Clean,
Water,
Action
and
Sierra
Club
and
countless
others.
You
have
made
this
happen.
We
would
not
have
carried
the
ball
to
the
end
zone,
but
for
your
tireless
advocacy
and
work
I
say
if
you
give
you
a
very
profound
and
heartfelt
thank
you
for.
O
City
or
town
to
choose
the
electrical
supplier
for
its
residents
in
businesses.
Currently,
a
hundred
and
twenty
seven
cities
and
towns
throughout
the
Commonwealth
have
adopted
some
form
of
CCE.
Today
we
are
seeking
to
make
Boston
the
one
hundred
and
twenty
eighth
and
obviously
the
most
impactful.
By
opening
a
transparent
and
fully
vetted
process,
we
can
leverage
our
sheer
size.
There
are
well
more.
O
There
are
well
more
than
two
hundred
thousand
accounts
among
our
six
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
residents
and
businesses
to
negotiate
a
better
deal
for
ratepayers
with
an
increase
of
our
renewable
energy
portfolio.
Think
of
this
is
the
Costco
effect.
Costco
can
sell
items
in
greater
bulk,
but
at
a
lesser
price
to
individual
price
because
of
the
sheer
quantity
of
product
the
same
economic
fit.
Economic
theory
holds
true
for
Boston.
In
this
regard,
studies
have
shown
the
Boston
can
increase
its
renewable
energy
source
for
electricity
by
up
to
six
percent
without
an
increase
to
the
ratepayer.
O
Our
order
today
is
calling
for
an
increase
of
five
percent.
We
will
also
have
an
opt-out
proviso
so
that
any
individual
or
business
can
of
course,
opt
out,
and
we
will
also
have
an
opt
up
proviso
so
that
any
rate
payer
may,
if
they
so
choose
up
to
100
percent
of
renewable
energy
sources.
Now
there
are
significant
safeguards
here
to
protect
all
ratepayers,
not
the
least
of
which
is
once
we
authorize
this.
We
then
charge
the
Walsh
administration
to
begin
the
process
of
procurement
and
sort
of
data
collection.
O
If
they're
unable
to
find
a
supplier
who
is
at
or
below
the
default
rate,
we
will
not
proceed
additionally
if
we
opt
in
and
find
a
supplier
that
conforms
to
our
increase
in
renewables
in
price
and
changes
that
down
the
road,
we
can
pause
the
program.
This
is
precisely
what
the
town
of
Melrose
is
happen
is
doing
right
now,
assuming
we
do
and
I
feel
very
confident
that
we
will
be
able
to
find
several
suppliers
to
achieve
our
goals.
O
O
Watches
ward
committee
meetings
and
other
neighborhood
groups
to
talk
about
this
issue
and
garner
some
great
grassroots
support.
It
should
be
noted
that
eversource
will
still
deliver
electricity,
will
fix,
outages
and
send
residents
bills.
Ratepayers
will
not
have
to
deal
directly
with
the
alternative
supplier,
their
job,
the
alternative
suppliers
job
is
to
contract
with
the
power
plants,
windmill,
solar,
arrays
that
produce
the
electricity.
Additionally,
once
this
is
done,
we
will
convene
a
working
group
made
up
of
advocates
members
of
this
body
and
other
stakeholders
to
work
with
the
administration
going
forward.
Now.
O
Why
are
we
doing
this?
There
is
no
leadership.
Absolutely
no
leadership
coming
from
this
president
and
his
cabinet
on
the
issues
addressing
climate
change
and
the
inherit
effects
that
come
I
would
argue
that
in
many
instances,
they're
rolling
back
regulations
and
they
are
making
matters
much
worse.
It
is
up
to
cities
to
lead
on
climate
change,
making
an
additional
5%
of
our
residents.
Electricity
come
from
renewable
energy
is
the
equivalent
of
removing
6,400
cars
and
trucks
from
our
streets.
O
It
is
the
single
largest
way
of
reaching
our
greenhouse
gas
reduction
goals
of
25
percent
by
2020
and
80
percent
by
2050.
It
also
means
less
air
pollution
from
power
plants.
It
addresses
environmental
justice,
it
creates
green
jobs,
it
creates
green
infrastructure,
simply
put,
it
builds
a
greener
Boston
once
in
a
while,
it's
very
rare
that
this
happens,
but
once
in
a
while
things
are
not
too
good
to
be
true,
as
has
been
demonstrated
by
cities
and
towns.
O
Throughout
this
Commonwealth
and
over
1300
municipalities
throughout
the
country,
community
choice
will
meet
or
lower
costs,
while
increasing
class
1
local,
renewable
energy
sources,
and
there
are
protections
in
place
if
those
goals
are
not
met.
Sound
environmental
policy
is
good
for
the
planet,
good
for
green
job
good
for
the
ratepayer.
It
doesn't
get
much
better
than
that
now
before
I
close
I
wanted
to
mention
something
that
really
stuck
with
me.
I
mentioned
it
at
yesterday's
hearing.
We
had
12
pages
of
individuals
that
had
signed
up.
Obviously
not
everybody
had
wanted
to
testify.
O
Otherwise,
we
would
still
be
there,
but
we
had
12
pages
of
individuals
who
wanted
to
testify
and
the
third
person
who
testified
what
is
a
young
woman
named
Balaji
who
mentioned
in
her
remarks?
She
was
affiliated
with
clean
water
action.
She
mentioned
in
her
remarks
that
she
had
family
in
Saint
Maarten,
the
island
in
the
Caribbean,
where
95%
of
it
has
been
destroyed
by
recent
weather
events
following
Balaji
was
Kyla
SH
who's
with
the
Sierra
Club.
He
mentioned
that
he
had
family
in
Puerto,
Rico
that
he
couldn't
talk
to
for
a
week.
He
was
worried.
O
Luckily
they
are
fine,
but
obviously
we're
seeing
the
same
effects
happening
in
Puerto
Rico,
the
third
speaker
after
that
so
speakers,
four
five
and
six
of
our
top
of
our
first
six
speakers
was
a
gentleman
named
Grady
who
works
works
with
elders,
Climate,
Action
and
Grady
had
mentioned
that
he
was
from
Houston.
Now
these
three
individuals
didn't
know
one
another.
We
didn't
plan
it.
This
way
again,
we
had
12
sheets
of
people.
They
are
all
with
different
environmental
organizations,
but
hadn't
coordinated
in
sort
of
a
NASA
and
offhand
comments
had
mentioned.
O
If
that
doesn't
underscore
that
we're
not
talking
about
doing
this,
for
our
kids
or
our
grandkids,
this
is
happening
now
and
by
God
cities
have
to
lead.
This
is
a
great
way
that
Boston
can
lead.
We
will
have
an
absolute
impact
almost
right
away.
It's
the
right
thing
to
do.
Let's
make
it
happen.
Thank
you.
Mr.
vice
president
Thank.
B
A
To
thank
echo
all
of
the
things
that
the
chair
of
the
environment
sustainability
committee
just
issued,
starting
with
with
councilor
O'malley
himself
for
his
leadership
on
a
whole
range
of
issues.
This
one
I'm
particularly
proud
of
our
partnership
and
the
coalition
that
has
been
with
us.
You
know
as
councillor
Jackson
like
to
say
in
and
back
all
around
the
mothers
and
everyone
else,
I
want
to
thank
the
administration
also
for
the
quick,
quick
work.
A
We
had
some
concerns
coming
out
of
yesterday's
hearing
and
immediately
overnight,
corporation
council,
mayor
Walsh,
chief
Blackmon
and
Katie
King
and
others
have
been
working
to
make
sure
that
the
order
we
have
in
front
of
us
today
represents
a
solid
piece
of
work
that
will
kick
us
off
in
the
right
direction.
I
I
have
to
say:
I
was
struck
by
the
same
thing
as
councillor
O'malley.
At
that
hearing
you
know
there
were
maybe
too
close
to
200
people.
A
We
have
to
change
the
physical
and
economic
reality
for
future
generations
that
that
has
gotten
us
to
this
point.
We're
in
an
economic
system
where
large
corporate
interests
are
locked
into
fossil
fuel
infrastructure,
where
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
are
tied
to
profits
and
in
many
ways
the
changes
that
we
need
to
see
need
to
reorient
us
to
the
green
economy,
to
wind
and
solar
jobs
that
are
actually
growing
12
times
faster
than
the
average
job
growth
across
the
country.
A
Massachusetts
and
the
Boston
region
have
been
tapping
into
a
large
share
of
those
jobs,
because
we've
been
out
in
front
thanks
to
the
legislature
leading
on
solar
we
need
to
do
and
on
the
city,
council
Week.
This
is
how
we
do
our
part
today.
As
matt
said,
this
is
the
single
largest
action
that
the
City
Council
could
take
to
immediately
and
dramatically
increase
our
renewable
energy
sources
in
Boston,
and
not
just
that.
A
It's
seamless
for
residents,
the
utility
company,
continues
to
deliver
the
billing
and
be
at
the
table
and
be
a
partner,
and
there
are
numerous
safeguards
in
this
process,
not
just
for
the
city
to
put
pause.
If,
if
the
prices
to
end
up
being
different
than
we
expect,
but
for
any
individual
at
any
time
to
be
able
to
opt
out
and
go
back
to
the
original
default
utility
contract,
so
I'm
really
proud
of
everyone.
That's
been
with
us
and
working
on
this.
Thank
you
so
much
you
know.
A
So
many
of
us
on
the
council
have
been
working
on
this
as
well
looking
forward
to
seeking
a
vote
on
this
today
and
and
then
the
many
steps
that
will
follow
to
make
sure
that
this
is
implemented
in
the
way
that
best
fits
Boston,
and
then
we
move
on
to
the
other
green
initiatives
that
will
continue
to
effect
change.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
L
L
Most
people
don't
know,
and
if
correct
me,
if
I'm
wrong,
but
it's
a
it's
available
to
each
and
every
one
of
us
to
do
this
ourselves.
At
this
time
we
can
join
a
program
that
would
allow
us
to
to
claim
green
energy
as
that
source
for
our
particular
home,
so
that's
available
to
those
who
can
afford
it
or
are
willing
to
afford
that
that
sort
of
energy
and
I
think
to
try
and
to
place
the
green
energy
in
space
that
that
everybody
is
allowed
to
do
it.
L
The
only
issue
I
have
is
that
it's
affordable,
so
it
needs
to
be
affordable,
as
I've
stood
up
on
a
number
of
occasions.
Sometimes
it's
the
only
person
on
the
body
even
for
the
preservation
act,
so
even
for
the
Preservation
Act
I
I
feel
that
the
cost
to
the
individual,
and
especially
those
who
can't
afford
it,
is
an
issue,
and
it
needs
to
be
addressed
as
as
we
move
forward.
So
I
will
be
supporting
this
because
I
believe
it's
heading
in
the
right
direction
and
again
I
want
to
congratulate
Domingo.
M
Let's
understand
and
let's
set
the
record
straight
I'm
glad
that
I
don't
know
if
this
extra
coffee
at
today
or
there
was
some
epiphany
that
occurred.
But
this
is
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
I
want
to
give
props
and
credit
where
credit's,
due
to
councillor
O'malley
and
councillor
Wu,
for
standing
up
for
the
people
of
the
City
of
Boston
and
for
standing
up
for
those
who
don't
even
live
here
yet
and
who
actually
don't
live
for
the
future
of
the
City
of
Boston,
because
we
are
a
coastal
city,
there
have
been
13
named.
M
Storms
were
halfway
through
the
alphabet,
we're
on
Maria
13
named
storms
that
continue
to
get
stronger
and
stronger.
If
you
haven't
been
to
the
beach,
we
are
a
coastal
city
and
we
need
to
know
that
if
we
don't
move
with
urgency,
it's
not
if
it
is.
When
will
this
hit
the
city
of
Boston
and
by
the
way,
as
I
noted
yesterday
and
I
need
a
note
today
when
we
think
about
whether
or
not
the
city
of
Boston
can
do
this?
M
M
Herring
ham
has
327
residents,
we
have
650
people
in
the
city
of
Boston,
we
have
17,000
able
city
employees
that
could
actually
put
this
in
in
motion
and
we
host
a
climate
conference.
Yet
we
have
actually
not
moved
forward
on
this
and
we've
actually
been
able
to
pull
together.
So
many
things
for
think
for
initiatives
that
people
and
the
administration
and
others
want
to
do.
This
is
the
right
thing
to
do.
This
is
absolutely
the
right
time
to
do
it
and
I
think
we
also
need
to
know
when
we
look
at
the
cost.
M
M
We
have
Dominica
that
has
been
hit.
We
have
several
other
parts
of
our
country
that
have
been
hit.
All
of
that
is
a
cost
and,
in
addition,
there
is
a
human
cost
to
what
we're
talking
about.
This
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
lead
and
not
end
up
where
we
would
be
the
128th
out
of
351
communities
in
the
City
of
Austin.
That
would
push
forward
with
this.
M
A
P
Very
nice
over
here,
I
wanted
to
thank
counselor
O'malley
in
council
woo
on
their
leadership
in
this.
In
this
form,
Matt
I
agree
with
what
counsel
in
and
said
you
are.
Our
green
guy
in
even
your
leadership
is
as
welcome
on
this
floor.
As
I
said
from
the
very
beginning,
my
concern
always
was
safeguards.
Matt
walked
me
through
this
process.
P
D
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
again
Thank
You
councillor
Mallory
councillor
Wu,
for
your
leadership.
I
just
wanted
to
pause
for
a
moment,
because,
although
a
ver
confluence
of
circumstances,
culturally
politically
from
a
policy
standpoint,
have
led
us
to
this.
This
place
this
crossroads
in
our
country,
where
we're
dealing
with
it
seems
it's
incoming
every
day.
D
I
just
wanted
to
pause
and
just
say
that
I'm
very
encouraged
by
the
fact
that
our
organizing
silos
are
really
breaking
down
and
that
whether
we're
talking
about
climate
and
weather
refugees
or
displacement
refugees
that
we
are
getting
to
a
point.
Finally,
where
we
recognize
that
we
are
truly
in
this
together
and
that
this
is
not
about
the
utilities
versus
the
people
or
landlords
versus
the
people
or
government
versus
the
people,
or
this
neighborhood
against
this
neighborhood
and
this
race
against
that.
A
O
Thank
you
and
thank
you
again.
I
will
be
brief,
quit
while
I'm
ahead,
but
thank
you
I
just
wanted
to
thank
Kate
Sullivan
from
central
staff
who
worked
very
quickly
and
efficiently
to
get
committee
report
out
and
make
sure
that
we
were
able
to
work
with
the
administration
on
those
changes
and
I
would
just
like
to
say.
You
know
there
was
talk
from
the
administration
yesterday
about
having
a
working
session,
I.
Think
chief
Blackman
and
his
team
has
always
said:
they've
been
open
to
this.
There
have
been
dialogue,
so
there
was
never.
O
There
was
never
know
from
the
administration.
There
was
council,
president
I
and
speaking
with
the
mayor,
see
a
real
utility
in
getting
this
done
now,
which
is
why
we
were
able
to
forego
the
working
session
because
we
address
some
of
those
concerns
ahead
of
time.
So
we're
grateful
for
partnership
and
collaboration
all
around.
Thank
you.
Thank.

has
received
a
unanimous
vote.
Thank.
A
F
You,
madam
president,
this
resolution
is
pretty
well
summarized
in
the
title
here.
There
are
bills
at
the
Statehouse
in
both
houses,
the
representatives
in
the
in
the
Senate
that
would
allow
for
automatic
voter
registration
for
eligible
voters
in
the
Commonwealth.
You
know,
as
we
all
just
observed
last
week
and
incredibly
low
turnout
municipal
election,
our
state
elections,
a
little
higher
turnout,
but
still
there
are
many
barriers
to
access.
F
We
actually
just
had
a
hearing
and
the
special
committee
on
civil
rights
last
week
on
other
ways
that
we
can
increase
voter
turnout,
lower
barriers
to
voting
and,
as
we've
seen
in
other
states
that
currently
allow
automatic
weighted
voter
registration.
Several
in
New
England,
along
with
us
places
as
diverse
as
Georgia
Alaska
California
West
Virginia,
not
places
that
are
often
not
States,
they're,
often
on
the
same
page,
when
it
comes
to
issues
like
this,
it's
just
it's.
F
F
One
of
the
challenges
we
have
for
folks
registering
to
vote
is
that
if
here's
a
primary
in
September
or
preliminary
election
and
municipal
many
people,
especially
in
my
district
and
council,
see
almost
districts
have
just
moved
on
September
1st
and
by
definition
you
are,
you
know,
unless
you're
playing
and
go
vote
register
to
vote
on
the
day.
You've
just
moved
in
gotten
to
you.
F
You
all
done
everything
else,
you're
many
times
missing
a
deadline
and
that's
something
else
we're
looking
at
it's
the
20-day
deadline,
but
I
just
think
it's
important
that
we
do
this
I
am
you
know
we're
gonna,
ask
that
we
suspend
and
a
resolution
to
join
our
friends
at
the
Statehouse
and
putting
this
in
place.
It
does
not
change
the
requirements
of
voter
registration,
obviously,
but
it
does
make
it
easier.
I
think
similar,
we've
seen
such
success
with
the
motor
voter
law.
F
O
Rise
to
commend
the
maker
councillor
shake
him
for
his
leadership
on
this.
Ask
that
my
name
he
added
I
can
remember
vividly
as
a
you
know,
relatively
nerdy
college
student
following
election
returns
in
1998,
which
was
the
first
year
that
the
state
of
when
Minnesota
had
it
was
an
automatic
voter,
but
it
was
same-day.
Voter
registration
and
turnout
was
71
percent
for
governor's
race.
Compare
that
with
14%
a
week
ago
for
our
preliminary
election.
We
need
to
make
it
easier,
not
harder
for
people
to
vote.
O
A
You
councillor
O'malley,
madam
clerk,
could
you
please
add
counselor
O'malley's
name,
please
add
counselor
Campbell
counselor,
co-moh,
counselor,
sabe,
George,
councillor,
Jackson,
councilor,
Pressley
and
councilor
Pressley
you
of
the
floor?
No,
oh,
thank
you
just
to
sign
on.
Please
have
the
chairs
name,
please
dad
counselor
la
mattina
and
please
that
counts
her
McCarthy
at
this
time,
councilors
a
camus
for
suspension
and
adoption
of
daca
at
one-30
for
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
any
posts,
a
name,
the
ice
habit
and
docket
one
three
zero
four
has
been
adopted.
F
F
These
are
folks
who
are
supporting
families
who
are
working
in
our
communities
and
who
are
working
at
some
of
the
wealthiest
institutions
in
the
country
in
the
world
and
I.
We
just
asked
that
both
northeastern
and
their
subcontractor
have
a
fair
and
open
discussion
with
their
workers
and
that
they
have
a
negotiation,
as
we
often
do
here
in
the
city
of
Boston,
with
the
unions
that
represent
the
city
of
Boston
employees.
It's
important
if
we're
going
to
talk
about
striking
a
blow.
We
just
talked
about
displacement.
We
just
talked
about
housing.
F
We
just
talked
about
high
rents
in
the
city
of
Boston.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
when
people
are
working
and
working
hard
and
working
full-time
jobs,
they're
gonna
have
a
livable
wage
and
well.
We
can't
solve
that
problem
every
day.
I
do
think
it's
important
that
we
stand,
who
are
standing
up
for
themselves,
who
are
organizing
themselves
and
who
are
working
to
make
our
community
a
better
place
so
again.
Well,
this
vote
is
ongoing.
F
Today,
I'm
gonna
also
ask
that
we
suspend
and
adopt
this
I
certainly
encourage
everyone
to
to
be
supportive
of
this
I
think
it's
important
local
26
that
continues
to
be
a
voice
for
our
hospitality
workers
and
restaurant
workers.
That's
in
cafeteria
workers
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
it's
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
them
and
I,
certainly
think
it's
very
important
that
this
body,
once
again
as
we
have
over
and
over
again
stands
with
workers
stands
with
those
who
needs
our
protection
and
our
support
and
calls
on
their
employer
to
to
act
fairly.
A
F
A
Hearing
no
objection,
the
new
revised
language
is
before
the
council.
I
saw
a
motion
to
sign
on
madam
clerk.
Could
you
please
add
council
any
hands?
Name,
please:
head
counselor
la
mattina,
councillor
McCarthy
councillor
Flaherty,
councillor
sabi
George,
councillor
co-moh,
councillor
Campbell,
councillor
Baker,
councillor
O'malley,
councilor
Pressley.
You
have
the
floor.
I.
D
Just
rise
to
come
in
the
maker
and
also
local
26,
but
I
also
just
wanted
to
say,
following
the
strike
online,
that
I've
been
very
encouraged
by
the
number
of
students
that
are
standing
in
solidarity
with
workers.
You
know
these
are
students
that
are
sharpening
their
tools
and
developing
their
minds
to
emerge
into
the
world
in
this
city
to
do
to
do
good
and
to
take
on
many
social
and
justices
and
I'm
glad
that
while
they
are
students,
they
are
not
turning
a
blind
eye
to
or
being
complicit
in
their
silence
about
the
way.
D
A
M
You,
madam
president,
I,
have
northeastern
a
significant
portion
of
northeastern
in
my
district
and
I've
had
trouble
with
northeastern
and
councillor
councillors
a
command-I.
We
asked
northeastern
to
come
and
discuss
something
with
us
when
they
added
assault
rifles
and
they
told
us
absolutely
categorically
no
and
they
still
have
not
come
to
this
day
and
I
think
it
is
notable
that
we
have
folks
in
our
community
who
are
working
hard
every
day
to
make
a
mere
22
thousand
dollars
who
work
for
local
26.
When
the
president
of
Northeastern
president,
a
Yoon
makes
3.1
million
dollars.
M
Madam
president,
3.1
million
dollars-
and
we
also
have
a
university
that
has
tossed
in
our
face
that
they
don't
want
to
pay
pilot
and
in
fact,
when
they
send
a
cheque
to
Boston,
they
refuse
to
even
call
it.
A
pilot
payment
and
Boston
University,
which
has
about
the
same
physical
imprint
in
the
city
of
Boston,
sends
us
over
eight
million
dollars
a
year
and
Northeastern
sends
us
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
says
it's
not
a
pilot
payment.
M
Northeastern
pay
pay
a
fair
wage
to
your
workers.
You
want
to
build
buildings
all
over
our
district
you've.
Just
built
a
Science
Center
on
nearly
two
hundred
million
dollar
building
and
currently
you
are
building
over
the
objection
of
my
office
in
the
community,
a
22
I'm,
sorry,
I
apologize,
twenty
one
story:
812
room,
812
bed,
skyscraper
on
Columbus
Avenue,
where
buildings
are
eight
stories.
Yet
you
can't
pay
your
workers,
people
who
work
hard
every
single
day,
$62,000
62,
actually
I'm.
Sorry
sixty
three
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
attend,
yet
you
can't
pay
your
workers
counselors.
M
They
come
I
appreciate
you
holding
your
thumb
down
on
Northeastern
University.
We
should
emphatically
make
sure
that
all
colleges
and
universities
are
paying
at
least
a
livable
wage.
And,
yes,
we
call
them
nonprofits,
but
when
I
see
the
head
of
a
university
making,
3.1
million
dollars
that
doesn't
scream
nonprofit
to
me
do
right
by
the
workers,
do
right
by
local
26
and
I
look
forward
to
voting
and
affirmative
and
I
also
ask
that
you
add
my
name:
Thank
You
council,
president
wolf
Thank.
C
N
N
Stabilization
now
that
person
is,
is
in
front
of
an
advocate,
that's
kind
of
going
to
help
them
in
their
situations.
I
think
that
can
potentially
do
more
than
what
the
Home
Rule
petition.
My
opinion
can
do
and
and
again
great
work.
I
had
the
two
lawyers
with
me
when
we
were
talking
about
all
this
stuff.
Thank
goodness,
but
that's
all
thank
you.
Thank.
F
You,
madam
president,
I,
want
to
thank
a
councillor
Baker
and
a
councillor
clarity
and
Chief
Dillon
on
corporation
council,
the
mayor's
office
for
their
work
on
this.
This
is
certainly
intended
to
be
a
complimentary
legislation
to
the
Home
Rule
that
we
just
passed
to
do
what
we
can
without
a
change
in
state
law,
to
make
sure
we're
finding
out
where
these
evictions
are
happening,
where
people
are
being
displaced
and
that
way
we
can
get
the
resources
in
there.
You
know
I
think.
F
As
we
all
know,
we
are
limited
under
state
law
by
what
the
city
can
do
on
its
own,
but
this
is
something
that
we
can
do
that
this
body
can
pass
and
that
can
be
enacted
swiftly
to
find
out
where
these
things
are
happening.
To
make
sure
we
get
services
like
the
office
of
housing,
stability
like
Greater,
Boston
legal
services,
like
so
many
of
the
other
great
nonprofit
organizations
in
touch
with
tenants
in
real
time
so
they're
aware
of
their
rights.
F
I
That
well,
then,
allow
us
to
take
advantage
of
the
very
precious
resources
that
we
do
have
as
a
city
through
a
variety
different
departments,
in
funding
streams,
and
particularly-
and
our
hope
is
that
CPA
will
provide
some
relief
as
well,
but
that
we'll
be
able
to
direct
it
to
where
it
needs
to
go.
So
I've
been
around
a
little
bit
as
the
longest-serving
councillor,
Jim
Brooks
stabilization
act.
Just
cause
eviction
has
reared
its
head
in
a
multitude
of
different
forms.
During
my
tenure,
the
clerk
can
probably
attest
to
it
as
well
during
her
tenure.
I
So
my
sense
is
that
arguably
probably
will
will
die
at
the
Beacon
Hill,
but
this
will
be
the
real
work.
This
will
be
the
game.
Changer
no
councillor
Linehan
alluded
to
it.
In
his
comments
with
respect
to
darken
0
1:06,
but
this
will
really
make
a
difference
if
we're
able
to
put
our
collective
minds
around
this
ordinance
in
particularly
getting
that
data
and
being
able
to
address
where
it's
happening,
who's
doing
it.
I
think
well.
It'll
have
a
lasting
impact
on
on
the
folks
that
need
it.
I
The
most
the
people
that
are
being
displaced,
our
seniors
focus
on
fixed
incomes,
but
particularly
as
more
developers
coming
in
Boston
becomes
even
more
attractive
than
it
already
is,
and
more
people
want
to
come
here
and
all
the
kids
from
around
the
world
that
come
into
Boston
and
get
those
diplomas
in
years
past.
They
would
come
across
the
stage,
get
their
diploma
and
then
they'd
head
back
home
that
brainpower
those
kids
staying
there
staying
because
the
economy
is
great
they're
staying
because
it's
a
happening
place,
they've
fallen
in
love
with
the
Red
Sox.
I
They
fall
in
love
with
the
Patriots.
The
Bruins
and
Celtics
they've
fallen
in
love
with
the
waterfront
in
restaurants
and
in
in
establishments,
and
so
all
that
Boston
just
a
great
attractive
place
that
it
is,
and
as
a
result
of
that,
we
need
this
ordinance
now
more
than
to
really
make
a
difference
in
to
what's
going
out
in
all
of
our
neighborhoods.
So
I
usually
acidly,
sign
on
and
look
forward
to
expedited
hearings
on
the
subject
matter:
Thank
You
men
pretty.
A
Thank
You

A
A
A
This
is
a
larger
issue
that
I'm
hoping
to
explore
in
terms
of
development
and
community
process
and
input
across
the
city
anyway.
This
particular
facet
of
it
I
think,
is
an
extreme
example
where
we
are
seeing
Fort
Point
and
the
Seaport
experience
an
incredible
boom
in
development
overall,
but
especially
in
the
number
of
people
who
will
be
living
in
the
neighborhood
right
now,
an
estimated,
probably
four
thousand
people
in
the
area.
A
So
this
particular
hearing
was
actually
requested
by
colleagues
at
the
state
level
and
in
the
community,
given
how
quickly
everything
is
developing
there,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
as
we're
talking
about
a
five
or
even
six
fold
increase
in
the
number
of
residents
in
a
neighborhood
that
currently
has
no
fire
station.
No
library,
no
school,
no
Civic
space
and
even
as
the
council
was
discussing
the
reap
resyncing
effort
and
splitting
Ward
six
precinct.
One
so
that
that
area
would
have
quicker
access
to
a
polling
location.
A
The
only
potent
the
only
feasible
place
that
we
could
have
put
a
polling
location
was
District
Hall,
which
is
in
a
public
privately
set
to
expire,
and
you
know
part
of
ongoing
conversations.
But
there
really
is
no
there's
no
community
center,
nothing
and
there
was
a
whole
separate
conversation
about
transportation
infrastructure,
but
wanted
to
get
this
on
the
docket
and
in
the
conversation
thank
you.
Thank.
P
P
We
have
the
issue
with
the
state
troopers
and
Boston
Police
Department,
and
we
heard
quite
clearly
from
Commission
defendant,
he's
very
concerned
that
the
fact
that
the
the
biggest
the
best
tower
unit
to
get
through
that
area
of
the
city
I
was
over
on
the
Greenway
and
as
we
know,
if
anybody
travels
the
Greenway,
the
best
way
to
the
Greenway
is
by
foot
or
by
bike,
and
it's
certainly
not
by
bike
our
vehicle
in
Ohio
truck.
So
this
comes
at
a
perfect
timing.

You

I'll.
P
Be
brief,
I
just
want
to
do
well,
let
everybody
know
regarding
the
airplane
issues
that
we've
been
having
counsel
Baker
and
I,
along
with
Katie
King
intergovernmental
relations.
Director
representing
Mayor
Walsh
met
with
congressman
Capuano,
as
well
as
congressman
Lynch
in
Washington
DC.
To
get
updates
on
everything
that's
been
going
on.
There
was
a
I
will
send
everybody
via
email.
There's
a
90
page
report
that
came
out
from
an
MIT
professor
that
congressman
Lynch
and
Congress
Capuano
got
to
do
a
study.
It
is
not
a
great
reading.
P
I
will
be
honest
with
you,
so
we
get
lots
of
coffee
and
get
ready.
It's
90
pages
of
data.
They
are
working
very,
very
hot
and
I
am
pleased
to
say
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page
and
we're
taking
a
bigger
than
city.
But
a
metro
Boston
view
of
this
and
again
this
comes
down
to
flying
over
the
exact
same
pattern
all
day
long
morning,
noon
and
night
I
know
Cass
has
been
woken
up
in
the
morning
because
of
the
the
earlier
flights.
P
P
There's
several
hearings
that
congressman
Lynch
gets
a
selfie
up
if
you
will
and
tells
the
FAA
exactly
how
he
feels
about
them,
but
we're
working
hard
to
make
sure
that
it
moves
forward.
So
I
urge
you
to
read
the
report
that
I
will
send
you
or
at
least
glance
through
it
and
you'll
get
an
idea,
the
heat
maps
at
exactly
what
we're
talking
about
here,
and
it
is
an
issue
we
plan
on
having
some
type
of
town-hall
later
on
in
the
year
or
the
beginning
of
next
year.
A
H
You,
madam
president,
first
I
want
to
say
this
looks
absolutely
beautiful.
Oh
I
thank
the
administration
and
Pat
Brophy,
and
the
mayor
for
Jesus
I've
been
coming
here
since
1974,
believe
it
or
not
so
I'm
dating
myself,
but
not
as
old
as
you
I
just
want
to
I.
Just
wanna.
Take
this
opportunity
to
thank
my
colleagues
who
came
out
on
Monday
for
the
Italian
flag,
raising
ceremony
council
president
councilor
Josh
castellari.
Actually
it
was
council
flower
who
came
to
me
so
sad.
H
We
should
do
a
flag
raising
for
the
Italians,
and
so
thank
you,
but
I.
Just
wanna
take
his
opportunity.
Wish
you
all
a
happy,
Columbus,
Day
and
hope
to
see
you
at
my
last
parade
on
Sundays
in
the
north
end.
You
know
Thomas
day
has
been
a
tradition
since
I
believe
it's
80
years
this
year,
so
happy
Columbus
Day
to
all
my
friends.
H
N
A
couple
things
that
I
wanted
to
echo:
what
counsel
on
Martinez
said
about
the
chamber
good
work
on
your
part
Michelle,
you
were
you
drove
quite
a
bit
of
it,
but
I
wanted
to
talk
and
I'm
sure
we
will
close
in
memoriam
in
Las
about
Las
Vegas
having
kids
that
are
getting
ready
to
go
into
that
time.
Will
they'll
go
out
and
they'll
be
going
up
to
concerts
and
that
sort
of
stuff
and
with
all
the
evil
that
we
have
in
the
world
that
I
just
wanted
to
this
really
affected
me
and
I.
N
Don't
really
know
why?
Because
there's
so
much
going
on,
you
know
I
just
wanted
to
tell
let
people
know
that
there
is
still
good
in
the
world
and
and
we
as
leaders
in
our
city
can
always
you
know,
speak
with
kindness
in
our
heart
and
speak
with
love
in
our
heart,
and
you
know,
try
and
get
through
this
stuff
right
here.
It's
it's.
There
was
a
shooting
in
Tennessee,
I.
N
Think
the
day
after
five
or
six
people
were
killed,
didn't
even
make
didn't
even
make
the
newspaper
what
is
going
on
without
with
our
country,
so
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
mention
that
say
that
I
I
was
really
affected
and
it's
and
it's
I
think
it's
about
my
children
I'm
not
really
sure
what
it
is.
So
thank
you
for
indulging
me
Thank.
