I
just
wanted
to
quickly.
We
had
a
great
reception
right
before
the
council
meeting
started
for
the
Shattuck
Award
recipients,
and
we
do
this
every
year,
in
partnership
with
the
Minister
for
Research,
Bureau
and,
what's
so
exciting
frankly
about
these
awards
is
they
are
awarded
to
our
dedicated
and
long
serving
public
employees.
So
there
are
some
recipients.
B
Who've
received
an
award
today
that
have
worked
for
the
city
for
over
40
years,
and
so
I'm
gonna
invite
Pam
to
come
up
and
say
a
couple
of
words
also
to
say
the
names
of
the
folks
who
are
receiving
the
awards
and
then
we're
gonna
just
take
a
group
picture,
but
I
just
wanted
to
publicly
acknowledge
them.
Folks
at
home,
look
at
these
faces.
B
They
serve
you
every
single
day
overworked
underpaid,
but
they
are
dedicated
to
all
of
us,
and
we
also
talked
about
the
fact
that,
regardless
of
who's
sitting
in
these
chairs
as
counselors
or
whoever
the
mayor
is,
these
folks
are
been
here
and
dedicated
and
serving
us
every
single
day.
So
thank
you
to
each
and
every
one
of
the
recipients.
D
Thank
You
Andrea,
it's
interesting
to
be
on
this
side
of
the
city
council
chamber.
We
are
so
pleased
to
be
able
to
share
with
you
and
celebrate
with
you
our
shadek
Award
winners
for
2019,
recognizing
key
public
servants
who
do
go
unrecognized,
as
we
mentioned.
This
is
one
of
the
joys
of
what
the
research
Bureau
is
able
to
do
beyond
the
dollars
and
cents
and
numbers
that
we
often
share
with
you.
So
we're
so
pleased
to
be
able
to
celebrate
our
folks
here.

B
B
H
I
Thank
You
council
president
Campbell
I'm
here
with
councilor
Janie
council
Baker,
councillor
O'malley
and
we're
here.
We
are
honored
to
welcome
police
officers,
green
and
police
officer
O'connor
here
today
to
recognize
the
heroism
in
service
to
our
community.
These
two
dedicated
police
officers
saved
a
six
week
old
baby
in
the
South
End.
Recently
they
were
stopped
by
the
parents
of
a
choking
baby
when
they
were
in
the
South
End
and
the
baby
was
unresponsive.
I
These
officers
quickly
performed
back
massages
in
trying
to
clear
the
baby's
airway
and
eventually
the
baby
started
breathing
in
making
noises
again.
The
baby
is
okay,
after
being
treated
by
by
our
EMS
professionals
as
well.
We
want
to
commend
these
two
officers
for
their
quick
action
that
saved
this
baby.
We
know
that
the
baby's
parents
are
grateful
to
both
of
these
dedicated
police
officers,
and
we
are
also
grateful
for
your
service
to
our
community
in
our
city.
I
We
have
a
resolution
here
recognizing
both
of
these
officers
and
they
are
presented
by
me,
counsel,
Jamie,
councillor
Baker,
councillor
O'malley.
Both
of
those
police
officers
live
in
comfort,
o
Malley's
district,
and
we
just
so
wanted
that
these
out
these
police
officers
answer
the
call
to
duty
and
they're
of
great
reflection
upon
the
residents
of
Boston,
and
we
just
wanted
that
there,
quick,
quick
life
saving
skills
were
used
on
that
day,
I'd
like
to
ask
my
colleague,
councillor,
Baker,
well
counselor
Janey,
to
offer
as
well.
Thank.
J
You
so
much
I
just
want
to
extend
my
deep,
deep
gratitude
for
your
heroism,
for
just
stepping
up
and
stepping
in
as
a
mom.
I
know
that
this
is
one
of
the
scariest
things
that
you
can
go
through
as
a
mom
and
to
have
such
a
young
baby
be
unresponsive
and
cannot
breathe.
For
you
guys
to
just
step
in.
We
are
all
grateful
so
for
all
the
moms
around
the
world,
all
parents
everywhere,
certainly
for
our
south
and
I,
just
want
to
also
acknowledge
captain
Sweeney
for
his
work
and
his
dedication.
J
E
And
I
just
want
to
echo
what
my
colleagues
had
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
heroism.
In
quite

You
you've
saved
a
life,

how
important
the
work
our
men
and
women
are
first
responders,
do
each
and
every
day,
and
it's
just
one

of
that.

That's

cut
Madam

the

is

bicycle

Hill
Station,
including
a

entrance
at

This

I've,
obviously

Thank.
L
You,
madam
president,
we
held,
we
held
a
hearing
on
all
three
of
these
grants
together,
and
it
was
kind
of
divided
into
two
parts.
The
first
docket
was
described
by
Charlotte
Fleetwood
and
then
the
second
two
dockets
were
described
by
Matt
Moran
and
both
from
the
Boston
Transportation
Department.
The
first
is
for
construction
and
additional
costs
that
weren't
anticipated
related
to
the
project
that
comes
from
Ally
just
spoke
on
the
Gateway
path
through
the
our
Rosendale
to
in
the
Arboretum
over
to
the
Forest
Hills
station.
This
is
part
of
phase
1
finishing
up
the
construction.
L
Just
for
the
gate
closest
to
the
station
phase.
2
will
be
building
out
the
designing
and
building
out
the
boardwalk
and
then
phase
3
is
the
southernmost
section.
Those
latter
two
phases
are
in
much
earlier
stages
of
design
and
concept.
So
this
is
recommend
this
for
passage,
because
we
are
at
90
percent
design
and
and
want
to
finish
this
chunk
of
it
will
be
a
huge
huge
benefit
to
the
neighborhood.
L
As
you
heard
earlier,
the
next
two
dockets
are
similar
in
that
they're,
both
for
funding
to
hire
a
consultant
to
complete
a
plan
and
councillor
Baker
and
councillor.
Flynn
has
asked
some
really
really
great
questions
about
both
of
these
grants.
I
hope
that
comes
from
Baker
might
chime
in
especially
on
the
JFK
UMass
one,
since
he's
been
so
involved
with
this
for
a
while.
The
zero
665
is
about
access
to
JFK
UMass
station
from
the
neighborhood
side
as
it.
L
Currently,
you
have
to
go
under
the
the
highway
and
there's
some
concerns
around
mobility,
around
climate
vulnerability
with
the
flooding
and
how
the
neighborhood
will
access
that
with
so
many
future
projects
under
development.
In
the
area,
we
were
told
that
an
RFP
would
be
online
within
four
to
six
weeks
to
go
out
to
bid
for
the
consultant,
and
then
the
process
of
the
consultant
working
with
the
community
would
take,
probably
through
the
end
of
next
year,
to
come
back
with
an
action
plan.
L
That
plan
would
have
some
immediate
enhancements
and
and
next
steps
appropriate
for
the
next
six
to
twelve
months
after
that
that
funding
to
do
those
enhancements
would
have
to
come
from
elsewhere.
Not
within
this,
and
this
entire
grant
is
just
for
the
consultant
and
then
the
action
plan
would
also
talk
about
bigger
picture
items
that
would
likely
quiet
the
mbta
to
be
on
board
and
maintaining
and
changing
up
the
station,
particularly
because
the
entry
meant
the
entry
point
from
that
side.
L
The
neighborhood
side
is
a
very
set
very
steep
set
of
stairs
that
is
sort
of
crumbling.
So
there's
there's
not
accessibility,
there's
not
access
on
that
side.
Finally,
talk
at
zero,
nine,
seven
zero
again.
Similarly,
for
a
consultant
to
do
a
plan,
this
is
on
a
rapid
bus
plan
from
the
Seaport
and
more
station.
There
were
no
specifics
about
what
streets
might
be
the
route
about
where
we
might
be
taking
parking
versus
a
lane
of
traffic,
or
anything
like
that.
L
E
Say
Madam
President
I
like
to
thank
that
you
have
around
an
efficient,
an
efficient
hearing,
I'm
speaking
on
zero
six
six,
five,
it's
$250,000
for
an
RFP
for
in
and
around
the
JFK
station
the
money
comes
from
negotiating
with
the
IAG
and
the
owner
of
that
of
that
project.
The
RFP
is
for
I
originally
got
involved
in
in
politics,
because
I
was
grew
up
on
the
other
side
of
the
tracks,
and
this
is
addressing
that
issue
here.
E
How
can
the
people
on
the
other
side
of
the
tracks,
access
the
water,
the
bike
paths
to
walk
the
walking
paths?
How
do
we
get
to
our
train
station?
How
do
we
just
get
over
to
it?
Umass
is
gonna,
be
we
have
a
lot
of
development
happening,
UMass,
wind
properties,
Oakley
Park,
that
neighborhood
in
there
that
I
grew
up
from
literally
trapped
by
the
highway
by
the
by
the
the
train
tracks
and
by
Kazuko
circle.
E
This
is
what
we
would
like
to
see
as
community,
so
this
is
just
very
much
planning
for
multimodal
walking
biking,
baby
carriages,
that
sort
of
thing,
not
at
not
a
traffic
study,
more
more
of
a
walking
biking,
sort
of
how
do
we
connect
this
neighborhood
to
that
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
You,
council
president,
and
thank
you
to
Council
of
Lu
for
her
leadership
on
this
issue,
just
want
to
echo
what
counsel
at
Baker
said
as
in
regards
to
zero
six
six
five
cause.
Cuzco
circle
is
not
technically
in
my
in
my
district,
but
it
does
overlap
with
what
the
area
that
I
represent.
There's
a
lot
of
development
taking
place
at
Bayside
at
Miriam
and
McCormack
in
Frank's
district
and
in
the
Savin
Hill
in
South
Boston,
but
having
a
traffic
plan,
a
traffic
study
that
includes
this
important
rotary.
I
This
important
circle
making
sure
that
our
cars
and
pedestrians
and
people
are
safe,
walking
in
and
around
this
area,
but
especially
people
that
are
coming
from
the
MBTA
station
over
to
Moakley
Park.
We
do
see
a
lot
of
Boston
Public
School
students
that
use
the
park
during
the
day
for
various
sports,
so
that
is
also
an
important
part
of
this
plan
as
well.
I
Madame
president,
on
nine
one,
zero,
nine
seven,
zero
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
councillors,
comments
the
transportation
from
North
Station
to
Seaport
via
via
bus.
It's
also
important
and
I
know
be
PDA
stated
as
well,
but
it's
also
important
that
there
be
a
robust
community
input
as
it
relates
to
the
exact
route
of
this
bus
and
also
that
the
residents
weigh
in
how
how
it
impacts
them,
how
it
impacts
their
access
to
their
employment,
making
sure
we
get
to
get
residents
to
and
from
work
safely.
I
B
Thank
You

B
A
Of
a
one
to
75
message
in
order
authorizing
the
city
to
adopt
the
property
tax
exemption
for
members
of
the
National
Guard
and
reservists
who
are
serving
in
foreign
countries,
the
City
of
Boston
initially
adopted
the
exemption
in
fiscal
year,
twenty
in
2012
and
by
law.
This
local
option
must
be
extended
by
a
vote
of
the
City
Council
every
two
years.
The
city
of
Boston
shall
offer
a
property
tax
exemption
of
up
to
100
percent
for
active
members
of
the
National
Guard
and
reservists.
M
You,
madam
president,
the
Committee
held
its
hearing
on
on
Monday
October
21st
and
received
testimony
from
Commissioner
R&L
of
the
assessing
Department,
the
National
Guard
exemption,
as
stated
in
the
it's:
a
hundred
percent
real
estate
tax
exemption
to
homeowners,
who
are
active
members
of
the
National
Guard
or
reservists
serving
in
a
foreign
country
during
the
fiscal
year.
The
exemption
which
the
city
began
offering
in
fiscal
year
2012
requires
the
City
Council
action
to
extend
this
tax
relief
program
every
two
years
per
that
Massachusetts
General
Laws.
M
Since
2012,
the
assessing
department
has
approved
19
National,
Guard
exemptions,
saving
qualified
members
of
the
National
Guard
and
Reserve
as
nearly
40,000
in
real
estate
taxes.
Collectively.
This
is
an
important
program
that
provides
relief
to
our
fellow
Bostonians.
Should
they
be
called
to
serve
abroad.
They
recommend
passage
Thank.
I
Thank
You
council
president
I,
want
to
thank
the
chair
for
his
great
work
on
this
great
program.
It
is
an
exceptional
program.
I
just
would
like
to
know,
for
the
record
is
it's
for
the
national
god
Ian
reserves
and
it's
the
reserves
affiliated
with
the
National
God,
which
means
that
reservists
and
other
branches
would
are
not
eligible
for
this
program,
such
as
the
Marines
Navy,
Coast,
Guard,
EF
Force,
as
well
again,
it's
a
great
program
I'm
glad
to
support
it.
The
assessing
department
is
doing
a
great
job.
I
The
City
of
Boston
veterans
department
is
working
closely
with
the
assessing
department,
but
maybe
sometime
down
the
road,
we
can
continue
having
a
conversation
about
how
we
can
get
more
reservist
that
are
not
part
of
the
national
guard.
How
we
can
get
them
involved
in
this
program,
because
I
think
would
benefit
much
more
many
more
residents
of
the
city.
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
Thank.
B
A
G
You
very
much
Madam
President.
We
had
a
hearing
on
October
21st.
This
Monday
I
want
to
thank
superintendent
rich
from
the
Boston
Police
Department,
as
well
as
deputy
superintendent
Horton
from
the
MBTA.
We
had
some
colorful
people
speaking
and
giving
their
version
of
what
they
feel
about
this
mask
ordinance
and
they
were
welcome
and
I
was
great
to
see
them
and
we're
gonna
keep
this
in
a
working
session.
Okay,.
B
A
I
You,
madam
president,
madam
president,
we
held
a
hearing
on
docket
1
1:05
yesterday
on
a
grant
from
Verizon
Wireless
for
1.5
million
to
fund
digital
equity
programs
and
to
support
a
smart
city.
Fellow
in
the
department
of
new
urban
mechanic,
the
panelists
were
Chief
Chris
Osgood
Casey
Wilson
in
Chris
kata
from
new
urban
mechanics.
The
panelists
talked
about
how
the
city
will
use
this
grant
and
disperse
it
to
community
organizations
in
fund
of
fellow.
That
would
help
the
city
better,
integrate
technology
to
help
residents
powder.
I
The
funding
will
go
to
the
go
towards
the
digital
equity
fund,
which
Awards
grants
to
community
organizations
like
the
Castle
Square
tenant
organization,
the
south
end
Technology
Center
other
organizations
to
advance
their
work
on
digital
equity.
These
organizations
can
use
the
funds
for
training
equipment
in
technology
resources
for
residents.
They
are
about
30
applications
last
year,
and
this
grant
from
Verizon
would
help
the
digital
equity
fund
to
continue
helped.
Neighborhood
organizations
advance
their
work.
I
The
Smart
City
fellow,
would
be
helping
the
new
urban
mechanics,
develop
new
ways
to
use
technology
for
city
services
and
civic
engagement.
The
beta
blocks
that
you
see
now
in
the
mezzanine
is
actually
part
of
that
project,
and
this
funding
would
also
allow
the
department
to
Hiawatha
hire
a
fellow
to
do
more
work
on
this
front.
I
believe
that
this
grant
would
help
our
residents
in
city
have
a
better
access
to
technology
and
better
integrate
technology
into
city
services
and
I
specifically
focused
on
yesterday.
I
How
can
we
use
this
grant
to
make
sure
that
the
most
vulnerable
residents
of
our
city
that
may
not
have
the
technology,
or
even
the
education
or
skills
to
work
on
computer
technology?
How
can
it
benefit
them,
especially
our
elderly,
our
seniors
persons
with
disabilities,
our
immigrant
neighbors
as
well
Madam,
President
I,
ask
that
we
vote
yes
in
passage
of
docket
one
one,
zero
five.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
You
councillor
Flynn
at
this
time,
councillor
Flynn,
who
is
chair
of
the
Committee
on
city,
Neighborhood,
Services
and
veterans
and
military
affairs,
seeks
acceptance
of
the
committee
report
and
passage
of
docket
1
1:05,
all
those
in
favor
of
passage,
say:
aye
any
opposed
a
made.
The
eyes
have
it
docket
one
one:
zero
five
has
been
passed.
A
B
I
You,
madam
president,
Madam
President
I
want
to
thank
councillor
O'malley
president
campbell
council
edwards
on
this
important
hearing
that
we
had.
Yesterday,
we
held
a
joint
hearing
on
vacant
properties
yesterday
for
docket
zero,
five,
eight
four,
eight
and
zero
three
one
six
on
vacant
properties
and
to
discuss
strategies
to
activate
in
reduced
vacant
residential
properties,
including
streamlining
the
process
for
popups
in
vacant
properties,
putting
a
fee
to
reduce
vacancies,
embedded
data
collection.
I
We
heard
from
administration
officials
yesterday,
including
chris
english,
from
the
problem
property
Task,
Force
chief
Sheila
Dillon,
chief
Jerome
Smith
in
Andrew
grace
from
the
Office
of
Economic
Development.
We
talked
about
the
current
process
of
dealing
with
vacant
in
problem
properties
in
some
of
the
challenge.
Some
of
the
challenges
on
unease
issues
we
heard
from
Monique
folks
from
the
Wentworth
Institute
of
Technology
in
Stephanie
Lee
from
space
us
both
of
them
are
involved
in
transforming
vacant
lots
into
pop-ups
and
spaces
for
the
community,
and
they
highlighted
some
of
the
challenges
for
activating
vacant.
I
H
The
Boston
real
estate
market
has
never
been
hotter,
certainly
in
our
lifetimes,
probably
in
any
time
in
history,
yet
we're
seeing
many
mercial
districts,
which
was
the
approach
that
I
was
focused
on
stay
banking
for
longer
periods
of
time,
we're
seeing
residential
units,
which
was
your
focus
Madame
president,
that
seemed
to
get
overgrown,
and
it's
a
trick
that
many
developers
will
use
let
a
place
fall
into
such
disrepair.
That
neighbors
are
resigned
to
accept
many
variants,
changes
that
a
developer
would
want
to
be
able
to
build
more
and
it's
wrong.
H
So
there's
a
couple
of
tools
in
our
toolbox.
We
can
look
at
to
see
what
other
cities
have
done.
Well,
I
spent
some
time
with
several
colleagues
in
Vancouver,
which
has
is
also
grappling
with
a
vacancy
fee.
They
also
really
have
honed
in
on
some
of
the
foreign
investment
and
how
that
can
play
a
role
as
well.
This
notion
of
high-end
library.
We
have
these
multi-million
dollar
condos
that
are
essentially
tax
shelters.
H
Similarly,
for
the
business
point
of
view,
obviously,
we
can't
force
an
individual
to
rent
out
the
space
but
you're,
seeing
a
real
detrimental
impact
on
surrounding
businesses.
A
neighborhood
business
can
see
up
to
25%
of
their
bottom
line
fall.
If
there's
a
long
term,
they
can
see
next
to
it.
So
there's
no
action
to
take
today
and,
quite
frankly,
it's
unlikely.
H
We
will
take
action
in
terms
of
an
ordinance
this
year,
but
talking
to
you,
both
all
of
you
and
all
of
our
colleagues
and
folks
who've
been
interested
in
this
I
think
there's
a
real
opportunities.
We
go
forward
to
look
at
having
some
registry
a
real
registry
in
place
with
real
information.
Looking
at
a
vacancy
fee,
which,
of
course
the
media
reports
ran
with
today,
which
was
fine
that
should
be
part
of
it
as
well.
Arlington
has
used
this
as
a
great
detriment,
they've
seen
their
vacancy
commercial
rate
drop
by
40
percent.
H
Now
you
cannot
equate
the
town
of
Arlington
with
the
city
of
Boston,
but
you
can
certainly
equate
the
town
of
Arlington
at
the
neighborhood
to
make
a
plane
or
West,
Roxbury
or
or
Hyde
Park
or
several
other
neighborhoods,
so
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
work.
We
will
continue
to
do.
We've
been
pushing
this
and
really
leading
the
city
and
look
forward
to
continuing
work
and
partnership
to
solve
this
very
real
problem.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Thank
You
councillor
Malley
for
the
partnership
as
well
and
I.
Think
the
best
thing
about
the
hearing
was
looking
at
all
the
tools
that
we
currently
have
problem:
property
task
force,
the
foreclosure
registration
and
other
tools
that
we
could
strengthen
to
reduce
commercial
vacancies
and
residential
vacancies
and
then,
of
course,
looking
at
other
tools
that
we
currently
don't
have
in
the
toolbox.
I
really
appreciate
the
and
also
councillor
Flynn
encounter
Edwards
thanks
for
being
flexible
and
jointly
holding
these
hearings
together.
Thank
you
both
docket,
zero.
Five.
B
N
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
found
this
all
of
right
here
in
regarding
the
need
for
more
dedicated,
seniors
housing
in
Boston
as
I
travel
across
the
city
I'm.
Here
every
day
from
our
senior
citizens
who
are
frail
and
vulnerable
part
of
Boston
population,
they
often
require
care
and
protection
from
the
challenge
they
face.
While
the
aged
strong
Commission
has
stated
that
their
goal
is
to
ensure
that
Bostonians
have
safe,
secure,
affordable
housing,
concrete
ways
to
realize
the
goal
is
to
dedicate
more
houses
solely
for
senior
citizens.
N
I
know
senior
citizens
in
Boston
right
now
do
not
feel
safe
in
their
resident,
as
it
was
a
a
mixed
housing
situation
where
they
are
forced
to
live
with.
Those
who
experience,
substance,
abuse
and
other
who
display
Darlan,
behavior
I,
believe
the
city
of
Boston
needs
to
look
at
the
way
in
which
all
allocation
of
our
does
not
allocate
certain
buildings
for
dedicated
senior
housing,
so
that
seniors
do
not
feel
as
though
they're
our
only
option
to
find
safe
and
secure
housing
issue
in
an
assisted
living
facility
or
nursing
home
I.
N
B
So
the
order
will
be
assigned
a
Thank,
You
counsel,
garrison
right.
So
it's
an
order
for
a
hearing,
so
there's
no
passage
required.
So
I'm
gonna
put
it
into
a
committee
for
a
discussion
to
be
had
and
a
hearing
to
be
had
on
the
very
topic
that
you
put
forward.
So
we
don't
need
to
take
any
action,
but
for
me
to
sign
it
to
the
appropriate
committee,
which
will
absolutely
do
Thank
You
counselor,
garrison,
councilors,
Toby
George.
You
have
the
floor.
I.
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
rise
today
to
support
this
hearing
order
and
the
need
for
more
senior
housing
in
Boston.
We
need
to
do
a
better
job
as
a
city
to
ensure
that
we
are
being
inclusive
and
thoughtful
about
what
we
are
building
in
our
city.
However,
I
do
strongly
object
to
the
language
used
in
this
hearing
order
to
describe
people
who
are
dealing
with
substance
use
disorders.
O
It
is
important
to
recognize
that
those
who
struggle
with
substance
use
disorders
are
people
of
all
kinds,
including
our
seniors,
every
person,
whether
whether
they
are
struggling
with
substance
use
disorders
or
not,
whether
they
are
elderly
or
not
deserve
our
respect
and
safe
and
supportive
housing.
I.
Look
forward
to
this
hearing
to
learn
about
ways
that
we
can
ensure
our
most
vulnerable
populations
have
access
to
the
housing
and
support
services
they
need.
Please
add
my
name
Thank.
B
You
councillor
Sabri
George
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
or
add
their
name.
Mr.
clerk,
if
you
could
add
councillor
Baker
councillor,
Edwards
councillor,
asabi,
George,
councillor,
Flaherty,
councillor,
Flynn,
counter
Janey,
council
McCarthy,
as
well
as
the
chair
docket,
one
475
would
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
housing
and
community
development.
O
Thank
you
again,
madam
chair
I
rise
today
in
support
of
the
student
Opportunity
Act
on
October
3rd.
The
Senate
unanimously
passed
this
bill
representing
a
huge
step
forward
to
ensure
equitable
funding
for
our
public
schools,
though
we
do
not
have
a
long-term
chart
of
reimbursement
solution.
The
student
Opportunity
Act
is
a
substantial
update
to
our
state
funding
formula
for
our
public
schools.
O
The
Senate's
version
included
amendment
number
17,
which
maintains
local
control
over
district
plans
to
close
the
achievement
gap
and
ensure
all
students,
particularly
English
language,
learners,
special
education
and
low-income
students
have
access
to
the
resources
they
need.
Today
the
bill
is
being
debated
in
the
house
and
will
hopefully
have.
We
will
hopefully
have
a
final
bill
soon.
I'd
like
to
thank
a
number
of
partners
who
have
made
the
student
Opportunity
Act
happen.
O
First,
this
bill
is
the
culmination
of
work
of
the
fund,
our
future
campaign,
which
includes
the
Boston
teachers,
union,
mass
education,
justice,
Alliance,
mass,
the
Massachusetts
chapter
of
the
American
Federation
of
Teachers,
the
Massachusetts
teacher,
so
Teachers
Association,
then
n-double-a-cp,
youth
on
board,
citizens
for
public
schools,
phenom
and
the
Massachusetts
Jobs
with
Justice
the
fund.
Our
future
campaign
is
endorsed
by
incredible
Boston
community
partners
like
the
Chinese
progressive
Association,
the
Jewish
Alliance
for
law
and
social
action
and
the
asian-american
resource
workshop,
as
well
as
the
boss
of
Education
justice
Alliance.
O
This
bill
would
not
have
been
possible
without
the
Joint
Committee
on
education
in
particular,
chairs.
Senator
Jason,
Lewis
and
representative
Alice
Pais
I'd
like
to
expand,
extend
a
special
thanks
to
Senator
Pat
Jalen
of
Somerville
for
her
addition
of
amendment
number
17
and
to
Senator
Sonia
chang-diaz
for
being
a
tireless
champion
of
our
public
schools
of
Boston
and
for
ushering
in
this
work
that
led
to
the
important
this
important
Act.
Thank
you,
I
do
ask
for
suspension
and
adoption
of
this
resolution
today.
Thank.
B
Anyone
else
will
give
me
speak
on
this,
add
their
name.
Mr.
clerk,
if
you
can
add
councillor
Baker
councillor,
CMO
councillor,
Edwards,
councillor,
Flaherty,
councillor,
Flynn,
councillor,
Janey,
Council,
McCarthy,
council,
Mally,
councillor
woo
councillors
a
come
as
well
as
the
chair
doc
you
at
this
time,
councillor
sobbing
George,
seeks
suspension
of
the
rules
and
adoption
of
docket
one
four,
seven,
six,
all
those
in
favor
of
adoption,
say
aye
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes.
Have
it
docket,
one:
four,
seven
six
it's
been
adopted.
B
Like
had
to
look
at
the
dates
cuz,
it
was
so
long
ago,
but
in
January
of
2017
I
actually
introduced
this
hearing
order
to
review
the
community
I'm
spud
Minh
oversight
panel
and
I'm
refiling
it
today
again,
because
we
never
actually
had
a
hearing
and
so
to
remind
folks
what
the
coop
panel
does.
It's
an
independent
group
of
civilians
appointed
by
the
mayor.
B
Thank
you.
It's
an
independent
group
of
civilians
appointed
by
the
mayor
with
backgrounds
in
law,
criminal
justice
and
or
civil
process.
It
was
originally
established
by
executive
order
in
2007
by
Mayor
Menino,
to
review
civilian
appeals
against
the
police
department
in
an
effort
to
promote
professionalism
and,
of
course,
enhanced
community
relations.
The
panel
is
facing
a
backlog
of
cases,
limited
capacity
to
ensure
fair
in
thorough
investigations.
They
actually
put
out
our
recommendation
recommendations
in
a
report
in
December
of
2015,
and
this
was
the
panelists
themselves
have
put
out
these
recommendations.
B
I
then
filed
a
hearing
order
to
have
a
conversation
about
those
recommendations,
but
never
we
never
had
the
hearing
so
I'm
filing
this
again,
because
since
then
the
mayor
has
made
changes
adopted
some
some
of
those
recommendations
from
that
report
back
in
June
of
2017
and
it's
my
understanding.
They've
also
acted
on
some
of
those
recommendations,
which
is
a
really
great
thing,
but
I
think
at
this
point
it's
important
that
the
public
be
provided
an
opportunity
to
hear
updates
I'm.
B
B
I
just
want
to
add
in
it's
important,
given
the
context
of
what
we're
talking
about
whether
it's
parade's
that
I
think
shouldn't
have
been
permitted
or
other
things
that
we
have
to
be
very
careful
how
we
navigate
some
of
these
conversations,
particularly
when
it
comes
to
our
police
officers.
We
honored
to
today
for
some
of
the
heroic
work
they
do
every
single
day,
they're.
Putting
their
lives
on
the
front
line,
I
call
captain
Fritz
Patrick
in
b3
all
the
time
for
things
happening
in
our
neighborhood.
He
is
extremely
responsive.
B
He
gets
things
done
from
traffic
enforcement
to
people
hanging
out
in
cars
and
doing
the
list
of
activity
in
Mattapan.
So
the
conversation
really
is
about
this
report
that
came
out
a
couple
of
years
ago
now
recommendations
that
the
mayor
put
forward,
but
there
was
no
opportunity
for
the
council
to
engage
in
conversations.
So
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
do
just
that.
B
It
is
not
to
create
an
us
versus
them
or
to
bash
anybody
and
I'm
really
grateful
to
the
Public
Safety
unions,
leadership
for
not
only
passing
this
along
to
their
members,
but
also
already
saying
they're,
looking
forward
to
also
participating
in
the
hearing
as
well
and
I.
Hope.
Of
course,
if
we
can
have
this
hearing
before
the
end
of
the
year
and
that
all
of
you
will
also
participate
participate,
add
your
voice.
Thank
you,
Thank
You,
councillor,
Sheila.
Thank.
M
You
please
assign
docket
number
one.
Oh
he's
looking
around.
Please
add
councillor
Baker's
name,
councillor
Edwards
councillor,
sabe
George,
councillor,
Flaherty,
councillor,
Flynn,
councillor,
garrison,
councillor,
Janey,
council,
McCarthy,
councillor,
O'malley
councillors,
a
command
the
chair,
please
docket,
one
477
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
Public
Safety
and
criminal
justice.
B
So
this
is
I'm
really
excited
actually
to
introduce
this
hearing
order,
I'm,
actually
hoping
before
the
end
of
the
year,
that
we
can
start
the
conversation
about
what
I
think
is
an
issue
for
all
of
us,
especially
those
that
represent
districts
where
you
have
a
larger
concentration
of
people
of
color
or
low-income
communities.
And
so
anyone
that
owns
a
car
in
the
city
of
Boston
definitely
knows
how
extremely
high
auto
insurance
is.
B
This
of
course
presents
a
serious
economic
hardship
for
residents
and
families
in
our
communities
that
rely
on
their
cars
to
get
to
school,
to
work
or
other
destinations,
and
it
also
presents
a
hardship
for
those
residents
who
live
in
parts
of
our
city
that
lack
direct
access
to
quality,
reliable
and
fast
public
transportation
options.
In
the
most
highly
concentrated
minority
communities,
the
average
premium
for
all
drivers
was
90
percent,
more
per
vehicle,
roughly
four
hundred
and
forty
nine
dollars
than
the
average
premium
and
communities
with
lower
concentration
of
minority
residents.
B
Legislation
has
been
filed
to
the
state
level
to
address
these
disparities.
Even
I
just
get
a
study
has
been
difficult,
but
I'm
calling
for
a
hearing
on
this
issue,
because
I
want
to
create
a
space
where
residents
can
actually
come
forward
and
start
to
publicly
talk
about
the
frustration
they
are
seeing
with
respect
to
their
insurance
rates,
and
these
are
residents
who
have
been
longtime
residents
in
the
city
of
Boston
or
life-long,
who
are
moving
sometimes
from
one
community
to
another
community
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
are
shocked
to
receive
their
auto
insurance
rates.
B
G
Threw
me
off
there
I
couldn't
agree
more
president.
Please
sign
me
on
in
you
know,
representing
the
most
diverse
district
in
the
city
in
district
5.
I
can
tell
you
that
the
disparity
between
High,
Park,
Mattapan
and
even
Rosendale
to
other
parts
of
the
city
is
ridiculous.
As
you
know,
an
owner
of
three
cars,
you
know
start
the
Twitter
bug
now,
the
oldest
the
the
newest
car
we
have
is
a
2013
and
I'm
paying
$4,500,
which
is
ridiculous.
G
H
You,
mr.
vice
president
rise
to
commend
the
make
of
the
council.
President
I
am
really
excited
about
this.
I
just
wanted
to
sort
of
offer
a
couple
of
their
some
perspective
on
it,
just
to
show
how
inherently
unfair
and
inconsistent
inconsistent
the
system
is
the
house
where
I
grew
up.
It
was
originally
West
Roxbury.
It
then
became
Roslindale
and
probably
the
50s
or
the
60s,
and
then
in
2007
when
they
moved
the
post
office,
they
reclassified
it
back
as
West
Roxbury.
Now
it's
I
actually
live
in
the
same
neighborhood
now,
not
the
same
house.
H
Obviously,
but
my
father
would
often
say
you
know
he
lived
in
three
different
neighborhoods
while
being
in
the
same
house
over
a
number
of
years.
You
could
go
to
get
car
insurance
and
it
was
seen
as
Roslindale,
and
if
you
brought
the
deed
to
your
house
that
she
said
West
Roxbury,
your
premiums
would
be
not
cut
in
half
the
probably
40%
off
35%
off
for
the
same
house.
H
So
the
same
house
with
with
if
it
happened
to
have
been
built
ten
years
earlier
than
the
house
next
door
would
be
able
to
save
money
on
car
insurance.
I
mean
that's
absurd
and
it
shows
how
deeply
flawed
the
system
is.
That's
one
piece,
the
second
piece
which
I,
hope
and
I
know
the
council
president
want
to
include
is
this:
is
we
have
a
real
issue
in
this
city?
H
So
that's
something
that
we
need
to
be
talking
about
as
well
and
then
making
sure
that
the
states
here
I
know
one
of
our
former
colleagues,
the
former
district
5
councillor
before
the
current
district
5
councillors.
Talking
about
this
issue
as
well
for
many
many
years
I
know
others.
The
at-large
cons
from
South
Boston
has
as
well.
H
We
have
to
make
sure
that
the
state
is
seated
at
the
table
and
we
have
this
conversation
and
use
the
full
bully
pulpit
that
we
can
offer
to
try
to
affect
change,
because,
ultimately,
the
state
is
in
leadership
with
this,
but
I
think
the
better
opportunity
we
have
to
expose
the
rank,
hypocrisy
and
unethical
system
that's
in
place
as
it
relates
to
auto
insurance.
The
better
will
serve
our
constituents.
Thank
you.
Please
add
my
name.
Please.
M
B
B
I
am
informed
by
the
clerk
that
there
are
two
late
file
matters
which
in
that
which,
in
absence
of
objection,
will
be
added
hearing
and
seeing
no
objection.
The
two
matters
are
added
at
this
time.
The
chair
moves
for
adoption
of
the
consent
agenda.
All
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay.
The
consent
agenda
has
been
adopted
announcements.
Does
anyone
have
any
announcements
counter
flame?
You
have
the
floor.
I
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Madam
President
I
just
wanted
to
notify
my
colleagues
that
today,
at
3:30,
the
the
mayor's
Commission
for
persons
with
disabilities
will
present
the
annual
report.
That
said
3:30
today
here
at
the
Peabody
room
and
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues,
we
have
an
official
resolution
me
thanking
the
members
for
their
great
work
on
working
to
make
sure
that
our
persons
with
disabilities
have
equal
access
throughout
the
city.
I
also
want
to
thank
Council
is
a
come
as
chair
of
the
Civil
Rights
Committee
and
is
his
work
on
persons
with
disabilities.
I
I'm
proud
to
be
the
vice
chair.
I
want
to
thank
him
for
a
lot
of
great
work
over
the
years
on
on
this
important
issue
and
I'll
make
sure
that
I
let
the
members
of
the
committee,
the
Commission,
rather
know
about
the
great
work
that
they're
doing
in
the
thanks
from
the
City
Council
as
well.
So
I
just
want
to
pass
that
along
to
my
colleagues.
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
B
E
You,
madam
chair
I,
just
want
to
announce.
We
had
somewhat
of
a
failed
trip
yesterday
out
to
Long
Island.
We
listened
to
the
plan
of
what
the
administration
has
in
store,
even
though
it
seems
like
it
may
be
far
off
in
our
future.
If
we
don't,
if
we
don't
stay
with
this
plan,
this
crisis
will
only
get
worse
and
it
will
play
out
in
all
of
our
neighborhoods
it's
it's
kind
of
centralized
down
by
mass
and
cast
now
it
will
only
get
worse.
E
I
thought
it
was
good
in
a
sense
where
there
will
be
public
private
partnerships,
but
the
whole
area
will
be
available
to
all
the
people.
All
the
people
are
there.
From
from
wellness
to
family
interactions
will
happen,
people
will
be
able
to
get
off
the
island
and
go
to
work.
Have
some
sort
of
freedom.
I
think
that
this
could
be
could
be
cutting
edge
in
a
model
that
the
rest
of
the
country
may
want
to
look
at
so
just
for
people
to
stay
open
to
it
and
and
pay
attention
to
it.
E
I
think
it's
very,
very
important.
We're
gonna
need
all
hands
on
deck.
We're
gonna
need
we're.
Gonna
need
Long,
Island,
we're
gonna
need
the
Shattuck.
We're
gonna
need
more
more
step-up
housing,
which
is
not
necessarily
the
sole
by
housing,
but
we
need
to
deal
with
the
people.
We're
good
at
getting
people
into
detour.
We're
failing
is
those
people
after
they
come
out
of
detox
if
they're
fortunate
to
have
30
days
or
60
days
to
dry
out
we're
losing
the
battle
one
that
when
they
come
out
of
there,
there's
really
really
good
programs
like
Hope
House.
E
E
B
Else
have
any
other
announcements:
I
just
have
two
quick
ones:
one
is
tomorrow's
our
last
racial
equity
training.
It
is
at
9
a.m.
in
the
piedmont,
a
broom
and
then
it's
obviously
Breast
Cancer,
Awareness
Month,
and
so,
if
folks
could
stick
around
at
the
very
end
for
a
photo
carry
would
be
very
happy
and
he
does
a
lot
for
us.
So
we
should
do
this
for
carry
and
also
for
all
those
folks
who
not
only
acknowledged
this
month
but
have
actually
battled
breast
cancer.
Some
have
won.
B
B
I
would
like
all
of
my
colleagues,
guests
and
staff
to
please
rise
as
we
adjourn
today's
meeting
in
memory
of
the
following
individuals
for
counselor
Baker
Jimmy
black,
more
