For

Excuse

C

With
these
words,
we
must
delight
in
each
other,
make
others
conditions
our
own
rejoice
together,
mourn
together,
labor
and
suffer
together
always
having
before
our
eyes
our
commissioning
community
in
the
work
as
members
of
the
same
body.
So
shall
we
keep
the
unity
of
the
spirit
in
the
bond
of
peace?
C
So
let
us
set
our
hearts
for
just
a
moment
of
prayer
asking
god
to
guide
and
bless
you,
god
of
justice
and
mercy.
Thank
you
for
the
gift
of
the
women
and
men
elected
to
serve
on
our
city
council.
We
thank
them
for
her
work.
Their
faithfulness
to
their
commitment
and
the
sacrifices
that
they
and
their
families
make
in
seeking
to
build
the
city
of
justice
and
compassion.
C

May
our
city
councilor
be
guided
by
your
wisdom
as
we
tackle
the
complex
challenges
of
governance
in
these
difficult
times
and
finally,
father
the
new
vein
of
strength
and
presence
and
the
joy
of
helping
to
build
the
community
worthy
of
a
human
person.
We
ask:
is
your
sons
and
daughters,
confident
in
your
goodness
and
love,
amen,
amen,.
D
F
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
father.
I
know
you're
pressed
for
time,
but
we
will
now
move
on
with
the
rest
of
our
meeting
after
we've.
Had
that
wonderful,
inspirational
message,
I
don't
think
we've
been
enjoined
yet
by
councillor
baker,
but
he
will
join
us
late,
so
we
will
continue
to
move
on
and
that
will
be
with
the
first
order
of
business,
which
is
the
approval
of
the
minutes.

You,
madam
president,
docket
1052
notices.
You
see
from
the
mirror
of
the
appointment
of
gregory
rooney
as
the
commissioner
of
the
boston
transportation
department,
effective
october

2020
and
docket
number
1053
notices
received
from
the
mayor
of
the
appointment
of
indira

as

of

effective

Thank
you
docket0226.
The
committee
on
government
operations
to
which
was
referred
on
january
29
2020
docket,
number
zero;
two
six.
Sorry,
two
ordinance
to
provide
for
the
safe
disposal
of
shops
through
the
establishment
of
a
product
stewardship
program
to
miss
a
report
recommending
the
ordinance
ought
to
pass
in
a
new
draft.
A
B
You
very
much
dr
dockett026
was
sponsored
by
councillor
sabi
george
and
the
committee
held
a
working
session
on
october
5th
2020..
This
would
establish
a
product
stewardship
program
for
the
safe
collection
and
disposal
of
sharps.
The
manufacturers
of
the
sharks
would
be
required
to
work
with
retailers
that
sell
sharps
for
personal
use
to
take
back
the
sharps
at
the
end
of
life,
with
no
additional
cost
to
the
consumer.
The
proposal
will
provide
consumers
with
more
convenient
options
to
return
shops
and
will
ensure
the
safe
and
environmentally
sound
disposal
of
those
personal
sharks.
B
At
the
working
session
we
heard
comments
from
chris
english
chief
of
staff
at
isd,
pj
mccann
legal
counsel
for
the
boston,
public
health,
commission,
jed
tracy,
director
of
recovery
services,
leon,
bethune,
director
of
environmental
health
division
for
boston,
public
health.
The
committee
discussed
the
city's
current
efforts
regarding
sharp's
disposal,
including
adding
staff
and
additional
kiosks.
The
committee
discussed
community
outreach
and
public
feedback
and
emphasized
the
importance
that
the
public
have
additional
options
for
safe,
secure
disposal.
B
The
committee
discussed
and
supported
that
the
collection
sites
be
accessible
and
that
the
and
pharmacies
must
pay
a
role.
The
committee
also
discussed
the
city
should
educate
residents
about
the
proper
disposal
of
sharks.
Based
on
the
information
received
at
the
working
question,
docket
0266
was
amended
as
follows.
We
changed
the
title
of
the
ordinance
to
an
ordinance
to
provide
for
the
safe
disposal
of
sharks.
B
The
the
second,
whereas
clause
is
amended
after
the
word
needles
and
adds
the
following
phrase
both
for
medical
treatments
and
or
illegal
drug
use.
The
fourth
warehouse
class
clause
was
amended
was
an
immaterial
change.
That
basically
removes
the
word
and,
after
the
word
safety,
it's
further
amended
by
eliminating
all
references
to
the
establishment
of
a
product
store
program
and
replaces
with
safe
sharps
disposal
program
for
pharmacies,
section
12-16.
B
Language
is
added,
however,
that
would
require
retailers.
Retailers
to
take
back
sharks
further
amended
in
12.16
12-16.1
provides
that
the
purpose
of
the
ordinance
to
protect
the
health,
safety
and
welfare
of
the
public
and
the
environment
by
providing
for
the
safe
and
orderly
collection
of
disposal
disposal
sharps
by
requiring
retailers
to
take
back
the
sharks
at
the
end
of
life
at
no
additional
cost
to
the
consumer.
The
original
intent
of
the
purpose
pause
to
provide
consumers
with
more
convenient
ways
to
return
the
safe
and
environmentally
sound
disposable
and
12-16.2.
B
The
additional
language
clarifies
that
the
ordinance
applies
to
sharps
after
their
use.
The
definition
of
the
term
pharmacy
is
amended
by
removing
the
phrase
licensed
by
massachusetts,
board
of
registration
and
pharmacy
and
the
first
sentence
and
is
amended
in
the
last
sentence
by
striking
out
the
word
to
and
placing
it
with
word
for
the
amended
definition
of
the
term
pharmacy
is
now
a
pharmacy
means
a
facility
under
the
direction
of
supervision
of
a
registered
pharmacist,
which
is
authorized
to
dis,
dispense,
controlled
substances.
B
B
12-16.3
subsection,
a
the
following
sentence
is
added
for
each
pharmacy
location,
fully
enclosed
in
another
retail
entity.
The
kiosk
may
be
substituted
for
a
mailback
program
at
no
cost
of
the
consumer
or
other
alternative
collection
system.
At
that
location,
12-16.3
subsection
b
is
further
amended
with
the
clause
with
locations
within
another
establishment.
B
B
12.
There
are
further
amendments
regarding
the
implementation
and
enforcement
enforcement.
Section
is
amended
by
adding
a
new
first
sentence
with
a
language
making
the
provisions
of
the
ordinance
effective
a
year
after
its
adoption.
The
first
full
paragraph
in
the
initially
filed
docket
is
stricken
in
its
entirety.
B
The
second
sentence
adds
the
following
clause:
after
the
words
provisions
of
12-16,
a
severability
clause
is
added
to
assure
that,
if
any
part
of
this
proposed
ordinance
is
deemed
illegal
unconstitutional
that
the
rest
of
it
they'll
survive
the
docket
in
its
amended
draft
and
ensures
that
the
disposal
is
safe
and
accessible
through.
The
establishment
of
the
safe
shards
starts
disposal
program
for
pharmacies,
with
oversight
and
approval
of
the
collection
of
the
sites
by
isd
and
bphc.
B
The
amended
draft
will
ensure
the
security
of
collection
sites
and
allows
for
flexibility
and
options
for
pharmacies.
The
admitted
draft
also
requires
public
outreach
and
education
program,
so
the
residents
are
aware
of
their
options
for
safe
disposal
programs
by
the
chair
of
by
the
chair.
As
the
chair
of
the
committee
on
government,
ops,
to
which
the
following
is
referred,
I
submit
this
report
recommending
that
the
docket,
as
amended,
ought
to
pass.
A
I
I
First
I'd
like
to
thank
my
current
staff,
jessica,
malaika,
rachel,
karen
ava
and
jack
as
well,
and
our
former
staff,
particularly
particularly
alana
olson,
and
nadine
jean,
who
worked
on
this
ordinance
in
its
infancy
over
the
years
we've
learned
so
much
about
the
prevailing
use
of
sharps,
including
for
ivf
treatments,
diabetes
and
many
kinds
of
therapeutic
drug
use.
For
too
long
the
city
has
shouldered
the
burden
of
unsafe
sharp's
disposal,
as
our
residents
have
had
no
other
option.
I
I
I
Last
year,
the
city
reported
collecting
upwards
of
700
000
needles,
and
we
know
that
that
number
is
an
underestimate
at
the
best
of
the
volume
of
used
sharps
in
our
city.
We
are
at
a
point
where
the
city
of
boston
is
training:
little
league
coaches,
janitors
and
school
teachers
on
safe
needle
disposal.
Instead
of
focusing
on
education,
they
are
taking
turns
walking
through
school
yards
scanning
for
sharps
and
cleaning
out
their
own
safe
disposal.
Kiosks
weekly
and
still
kids
in
our
community
have
been
stabbed
by
these
sharks
in
their
school
playgrounds.
I
I
Through
this
ordinance
we
will
also
hold
pharmaceutical
manufacturers
responsible
for
their
role
in
the
growth
of
shark's
litter
and
the
opioid
epidemic.
We
finally
will
be
removing
the
financial
burden
of
needle
disposal
off
the
shoulders
of
our
residents
within
the
next
year.
I
am
so
pleased
that,
through
this
ordinance,
our
large
pharmaceutical
companies
will
be
mandated
to
provide
safe
disposal
mechanisms
throughout
our
city
in
places
where
residents
already
go
to
receive
their
vital
medicine.
I
I
Thank
you
all
colleagues
for
your
comments
over
the
years
and
in
our
most
recent
working
session,
thanks
to
the
boston,
public,
health,
commission
and
isd
for
their
careful
guidance
in
shaping
the
language
of
this
ordinance.
I'm
looking
forward
to
passage
today
and
to
seeing
the
incredible
impact
this
will
have
for
all
of
our
residents
in
our
city.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
A
L
K
G
B
D
M
J
F
D
A
A
B
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
president,
as
I
committed
to
my
colleagues,
we
would
have
something
for
you
to
for
your
consideration
on
october
21st,
which
is
today.
As
you
know,
the
mayor
introduced
the
housing
notification
act
on
october
7th
I
committed
to
having
a
full
conversation.
We
did
have
that
conversation
on
october
14th,
at
which
point
we
discussed
many
different
changes
and
suggestions
for
the
mayor's
office
through
back
and
forth.
B
But
I
am
moving
right
now
and
I
believe
the
amendments
will
be
provided
to
all
of
my
colleagues
to
reflect
that
conversation
and
the
fact
that
I've
listened
to
the
administration's
concerns
and
you
should
receive
those.
So
I
I
move
to
formally
amend
the
docket
zero
or
one
zero.
Three
two.
We
can
discuss
those
amendments,
madam
president,
and
if
they
are
accepted,
I
will
then
I'll
subsequently
move
that
the
amended
version,
as
you
had
already
stated,
be
adopted
by
this
body.
A
K
B
A
B
Thank
you
very
much.
The
amendments
to
this
housing
notification
act
as
people
will
recall
the
act
itself
is
really
just
getting
information
in
the
hands
of
tenants
with
the
notice
of
quit
and
collecting
that
information
at
the
office
of
housing
stability,
the
the
original
act
had
proposed.
That
isd
would
be
enforcing
this,
which
is
a
I
thought,
a
very
intelligent
and
very
good
move,
and
that
there
would
be
a
fine
per
day.
B
The
first
amendment
defines
what
that
fine
would
be,
which
is
the
maximum
that
the
city
could
charge,
which
is
300
per
day,
and
that
is
proposed
by
the
by
the
mayor's
by
the
mayor's
office
to
make
sure
that
it's
very
clear
what
the
fine
will
be,
how
it's
consistent
and
how
that
is.
It
is
part
of
our
green
ticket
law.
That's
the
first
amendment.
A
B
Yes,
they
would
they
would,
but
it
would
start
upon
the
the
tenant
filing
a
complaint.
Okay.
So
the
other
other
amendment
suggested
by
me-
and
I
believe,
supported
by
the
counselor
or
excuse
me
supported
by
the
mayor's
office,
is
a
may
clause
so
that
the
money
that
is
collected
may
go
to
rent
relief.
B
While
we,
the
administration,
does
not
like
to
call
dibs
on
funding,
so
we
couldn't
direct
the
fines
to
go
to
rent
relief.
We
wanted
to
give
the
flexibility
at
the
origination
of
the
ordinance
to
allow
for
money
to
go
essentially
to
rent
relief.
It
cannot
go
to
the
tenants
themselves,
but
it
could
hopefully
go
to
a
program
or
something
that
the
city
sets
up
and
then
the
final
amendment
is
amending
language
I
had
proposed.
B
I
had
wanted
to
have
the
city
and
the
board
of
health
declare
an
emergency
emergency
declaration
similar
to
somerville,
similar
to
cambridge,
similar
to
the
cdc's.
That
basically
said,
evicting
someone
or
removing
them
physically
from
their
dwelling
unit
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic,
is
a
health
issue
and
a
health
risk.
B
The
language
after
back
and
forth,
with
the
administration
and
looking
at
regulations,
has
been
softened
to
essentially
require
the
city
of
boston,
to
petition
the
board
of
health
to
come
up
with
regulations
to
prevent
or
discourage
eviction
actions
during
a
pandemic
and
other
other
such
actions
that
would
incur
or
exacerbate
a
public
health
risk.
So
essentially,
it's
not
demanding
of
the
mayor
specifically
or
of
the
board
of
health.
It
is
really
just
telling
the
city
of
boston,
which
is
within
our
jurisdiction,
to
go
to
the
board
of
health
and
petition
for
regulation.
B
K
B
Yeah,
like
all
other
city,
fines
normally
go
into
general
fund.
We
just
noted
that
you
know
the
tenant,
who
is,
who
is
the
one?
Who's
injured
actually
gets
none
of
this,
and
so,
while
we
couldn't
do
it
direct
to
the
tenant,
we
thought
at
least
give
them
have
the
option.
For
one
day,
the
allocation
to
rent
relief.

I
just
want
to
say
congratulations
to
council
edwards
and
wasabi
george
good
job
y'all,
okay.
So
moving
on
to
my
matter
here.
So
thank
you.
Madam
president.
Last
night,
the
committee
on
small
business,
oh
no,
the
other
night
a
few
nights
ago.
I
can't
keep
up
with
these
days
anymore.
The
committee
on
small
business
and
workforce
development
held
a
hearing
discussing
residents
and
neighborhoods
in
boston,
most
impacted
by
student
debt
and
beyond
the
pandemic.
J
We
learned
a
lot
from
this
hearing.
Chancellor
saguaro
suarez
contributed
an
excellent
framework
for
this
conversation.
We
are
dealing
with
two
different
pandemics
right
now
there
is
covet
19
pandemic,
but
there's
also
a
pandemic
of
racial
inequality
and
student
debt
is
a
great
example
of
that
inequality.
J
Finally,
vanessa
offered
a
personal
view
as
someone
who
has
who
was
the
first
in
her
family
to
go
to
college
and
what
it's
like
to
live
with
thousands
of
dollars
of
debt.
I
also
just
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
the
amazing
members
of
the
public
who
took
time
out
of
their
business
evening
to
provide
public
testimony.
One
person
in
particular
jerome,
mentioned
that
due
to
a
misunderstanding
in
his
sallie
mae
payments,
his
credit
score
dropped
by
150
points.
J
A
B
Very
much-
and
I
wanted
to
thank
the
sponsors
for
their
leadership
in
this
matter.
This
conversation
is
very
timely.
I
just
just-
and
I
apologize
I
could
not
make
that
hearing,
but
one
thing
I
I
would
love
to
bring
up
in
the
next
conversation
that
we
will
certainly
have
about.
This
is
what
we
discovered
during
our
divestment
hearings,
specifically
about
where
the
city
of
boston
invests
its
money
and
retirement
funds.
While
we
were
focused
on
prison,
labor
and
environmental
justice,
what
we
found
out
was
a
huge
amount
of
our
retirement.
B
Savings
are
invested
in
student
loan,
debt
and
student
loan
carriers,
and
so
I
wanted
that
to
be
part
of
our
future
conversations
is
how
we're
investing
our
retirements
and
making
sure
we
get
a
return
on
our
investment
on
payments,
I'm
still
making
so
apparently,
I'm
paying
into
my
retirement
in
two
different
ways,
but
I
just
want
to
remind
people
that
we
did
discover
that
the
amount
of
student
loans
and
debt
that
the
city
of
boston
is
invested
in
in
maintaining
and
keeping.
So.
A
Thank
you
so
much,
and
all
that
I'll
say
as
a
sponsor
of
this
docket
is
that
it
was
a
very
important
conversation.
I
want
to
thank
council
mejia
for
her
partnership
and
her
leadership
in
this
space
and
sharing
that
hearing.
We
do
need
to
continue
the
conversation
to
counselor,
edwards
point
and
so
dockett08
will
remain
in
the
committee
of
small
business
and
workforce
development
and
we'll
now
move
on
to
docket
zero,
nine,
four
five.
Thank
you!
A
B
Thank
you
very
much
a
madam
president.
This
matter
was
referred
to
the
committee
of
government
ops
on
august
19
2020.
The
lead
sponsors
are
our
counselor,
andrea
campbell
and
counselor
council,
president
kim
janey.
The
proposal
amends
of
the
chapter
12-9
by
adding
a
new
section
that
would
prohibit
covered
employers
from
discriminating
against
employees
or
applicants
based
on
their
credit,
history
and
information.
B
The
hearing
was,
I
think,
one
of
the
best
hearings
we
had
specifically
getting
to
the
nuts
and
bolts
and
really
all
agreeing
that
a
person's
credit
history
doesn't
define
who
they
are
their
character
or
their
ability
to
do
the
job
part
of
we
are
we're
joined
by.
Excuse
me,
vivian
leonard,
director
of
human
resources
for
the
city
of
boston,
evandro,
caballo,
executive,
director
of
the
boston,
human
rights
commission
and
lynn
sanders
deputy
director
of
the
mayor's
office
of
workforce
development,
as
well
as
nating
cohen,
for
greater
boston
legal
services.
B
There
is
an
exception.
I
will
note,
in
the
actual
proposed
ordinance
to
exempt
any
employer
from
this
if
they,
if
they
demonstrate
that
the
credit
history
is
a
bona
fide
qualification
of
the
job
that
could
include,
I'm
sure
some
banks
and
some
financial
institutions,
but
for
the
most
part
we
did
want
to
provide
the
flexibility.
B
B
So
I
wanted
to
thank
the
lead
sponsors
for
their
leadership
and
foresight
and
noting
again,
it
marries
well
with
the
conversation
on
student
debt
that
we're
just
having
the
medical
debt
that
people
are
in
and
the
fact
that
we
are
going
to
be
rebounding
some
in
many
ways
from
a
pandemic
and
a
lot
of
people
are
living
off
of
their
credit
cards.
So
why
would
we
judge
them
for
the
rest
of
their
lives,
about
their
ability
to
work
and
be
housed
off
of
a
credit
report?
A
Thank
you
so
much
councilor
edwards
and
as
a
sponsor
on
this
docket
as
well,
very
important
conversation
before
I
go
on
and
assign.
I
want
to
make
sure
I
make
space
for
a
co-sponsor
here
before
I
call
you
counselor
campbell,
I'm
going
to
call
upon
councillor
flynn,
councillor
flynn,
you
have
the
floor.
A
M
You,
madam
president,
just
want
to
say
that
the
co-sponsors
had
an
excellent
discussion
and
very
informative
what
I
especially
liked
about
the
the
topic,
which
is
very
critical,
but
they
included
the
human
rights
commission,
which
will
play
a
critical
role
in
this
issue,
making
sure
that
any
cases
are
hopefully
investigated
and
documented
by
the
human
rights
commission
was
established
in
1984
by
mayor
flynn
reenacted
by
mayor
walsh.
So
I
think
it
was
one
of
the
best
decisions
mayor
walsh
made
was
bringing
back
the
human
human
rights
commission.
M
A
G
Of
course,
their
credit
is
being
harmed
by
the
fear
of
eviction
and
displacement,
but
this,
of
course,
should
not
serve
as
a
barrier
to
them
obtaining
a
job
in
the
future
or
in
the
immediate,
and
this
has
been
a
topic
of
discussion
since
2016
when
we
initially
filed
this
in
partnership
with
then
councillor
ayanna
pressley,
so
looking
forward
to
getting
it
done.
I
also
wanted
to
thank
the
administration
folks,
who
showed
up
and
stayed
for
the
entire
hearing,
which
I
truly
appreciated.
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
madam
president,.
A
Thank
you
so
much
and
I'll
just
add
as
co-sponsor
that
I'm
really
grateful
to
partner
with
you,
counselor
campbell
and
moving
this
incredibly
important
work
forward.
We
have
to
get
it
done
this
year
and
it's
not
you
know
about
the
history.
I
appreciate
counselor
edward's,
bringing
the
historic
council
and
the
historic
work
that
we're
doing
into
the
space.
But,
quite
frankly,
it's
just
what's
needed.
A
I
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank
you.
Everyone
who
participated
in
yesterday's
public
testimony
only
hearing-
and
we
heard
from
a
number
of
folks
right
off
the
bat
sharing
their
experiences
about
the
reopening
some
significant
concerns
about
the
reopening
and
some
some
of
the
unmet
needs
of
both
our
educators,
our
families
and
certainly
our
students
as
we've.
I
think
we
all
are
aware.
Now
there
are
some
changes
going
forward
due
to
the
rising
rate
of
covet
in
our
city,
so
we
will
continue
to
certainly
discuss
this
in
in
sort
of
the
public
space.
I
I
So
so
we
have
that
hearing
next
week
and
then
we
also
have
an
upcoming
hearing
regarding
the
plan
overall
and
then
the
facilities
planned
as
well.
So
a
lot
of
education
on
all
of
our
minds
these
days,
no
doubt
and
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
make
sure
that
our
students
are
receiving
the
services
that
they
that
they
require
and
certainly
need.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
M
M
Madam
president,
I'm
calling
for
this
hearing
just
to
discuss
large
house
parties
in
gatherings
in
our
city,
as
my
neighborhood
in
south
boston
and
across
this
district.
True
brought
this
issue
to
my
attention
this
summer.
My
constituents
are
very
concerned
about
these
large
house
parties
in
our
neighborhood.
Sometimes
20
30
people
without
masks
no
physical,
distancing
and
oftentimes
indoors.
M
They
are
concerned
not
only
because
of
what
we've
seen
across
the
country
in
the
serious
potential
to
become
in
the
age
of
covert
19,
but
also
due
to
the
noise
and
impact
on
the
quality
of
life
for
for
our
residents.
As
these
parties
are
often,
they
often
leave
trash
and
litter
on
the
street
and
attract
rodents
and
pests.
M
Unfortunately,
we've
since
witnessed
an
uptick
in
this
irresponsible
and
inconsiderate
behavior.
As
a
result,
I
had
a
zoom
meeting
two
weeks
ago
with
over
90
neighbors
with
the
police
captain,
the
assistant
commissioner
of
isd
commissioner
miller
and
again
advised
neighbors
to
call
9-1-1
and
contact
isd
about
problem
property
list.
I
can
report
that
assistant
commissioner
miller
has
been
excellent,
as
has
captain
boyle
just
in
south
boston.
The
data
shows
the
complaint
calls
have
increased
significantly
during
this
pandemic,
with
many
restaurants
and
vaz
operating
as
limited
limited
capacity
due
to
covert
19.
M
M
Governor
baker
has
said
for
weeks
that
the
data
shows
young
people
are
driving
the
increase
in
cases
in
positivity
positivity
rates.
His
covet
19
order
number
52
states
that
there
should
never
be
more
than
25
persons
in
a
single,
enclosed
indoor,
space
and
failure
to
comply
may
result
in
a
civil
fine,
but
we
know
with
that
issues
in
large
house
parties
still
persist.
M
I
also
want
to
remind
everybody
we're
in
a
pandemic
and
it
may
not
be
your
health,
but
it
might
be
someone
that's
elderly
or
someone,
a
person
with
disabilities,
so
it's
about
respect
and
dignity
to
all
of
the
people,
and
you
might
have
to
put
away
your
parties
and
your
in
your
beer
cans
to
make
sure
that
our
elderly
people
are
safe.
That's
critical!
A
E
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
to
councils
flynn
and
braden
for
their
partnership
on
this
important
issue,
also
like
to
amend,
make
an
amendment
a
motion
for
an
amendment
on
the
on
the
final
order
that
we
include
outdoor
next
to
indoor.
So,
as
you
can
see
in
the
final
ordered
for
a
hearing,
we
mentioned
indoor,
but
would
also
like
to
include
outdoor,
particularly
given
what
we
experienced
here
in
our
neighborhood
council
fun
and
I,
with
respect
to
all
the
big
parties
along
the
beaches.
E
K
E
Gathering,
quite
frankly,
so
I
know
that
house
parties
have
been
a
quality
of
life
issue
here
in
the
city
for
for
a
long
time,
but
the
presence
of
coven
19
has
completely
raised
the
stakes
on
the
matter,
shifting
it
from
a
quality
life
issue
to
a
major
public
health
issue.
We
have
encouraged
residents
to
call
9-1-1
and
to
report
this,
as
well
as
to
reach
out
to
inspectional
services,
to
see
whether
or
not
we
can
investigate
and
have
the
property
potentially
placed
on
the
city's
property.
E
This
particularly
if
they
continue
to
have
party
after
party
after
party.
So
I'm
I'm
looking
for
a
robust
discussion
about
how
we
could
more
effectively
enforce
the
governor's
order
in
partnership
with
all
stakeholders,
boston,
police
department,
inspectional
service
department,
boston,
health,
commission
and
landlords,
tenants
and
other
concerned
residents.
I
I
know
that
we're
encouraging
folks
to
call
9-1-1,
I
know
and
I'm
hearing
the
frustration
from
from
residents
and
community
groups
that
it
comes
in
as
a
priority.
Nine
call.
E
E
You
have
a
large
gathering
and
there's
alcohol
involved.
You
know
having
a
neighbor
knock
on
the
door
and
or
having
someone
out
other
than
law
enforcement
coming
by
oftentimes
will
lead
to
a
mind
your
business
slam
door
in
your
face,
maybe
a
face
mush
or
a
punch
or
other
violence,
and
so
I
would
strongly
encourage
folks
to
not
take
matters
into
their
own
hands,
despite
the
frustration
level
that
they
they're
experiencing
and
continue
to
call
9-1-1
and
continue
to
reach
out
to
3-1-1
for
inspectional
services.
E
And,
let's
see
if
we
can
kind
of
work
together
to
curtail
this
activity
because,
as
we
start
to
see
boston's
numbers
tick
up.
This
is
going
to
continue
to
be
a
major
concern,
particularly
if
we
start
to
roll
back
some
of
what
we've
been
able
to
sort
of
roll
out
over
the
last
couple
of
months,
particularly
around
restaurants
and
other
establishments.
So
if
we're
going
to
start
to
see
a
roll
back
on
that
front,
we're
going
to
see
an
uptick
on
the
house
parties
side
so
that.
D
A
A
N
N
Everyone
made
huge
sacrifices
in
the
spring
to
flatten
the
curve
and
limit
the
spread
and
we
were
successful,
but
here
we
are
facing
into
the
winter
and
we
see
more
house
parties
all
across
the
country,
we're
hearing
of
increased
infection
rates
and
hospitals
being
overwhelmed
by
folks
turning
up
within
with
covet
19..
So
it
now
is
the
moment.
We
need
to
really
ask
everyone
to
be
responsible
and
to
do
their
part,
to
try
and
limit
the
spread
of
this
this
infection
so
that
we
until
such
times
as
we
can
find
a
vaccine.
N
A
Thank
you
so
much
not
seeing
any
blue
hands.
We
will
go
right
in
to
sign
on
show
a
physical
hands
for
those
who
want
to
add
their
name.
Madam
clerk,
if
you
could
please
add
counselor
edwards
counselor
baker,
councillor
o'malley,
counselor,
sabi,
george
counselor
bach,
councillor
campbell
councillor,
mejia
council
of
wu,
please
also
add
the
chair.
A
A
J
J
What
happened
that
day
made
me
feel
unsafe
in
a
city
that
I
grew
up
in
and
spent
most
of
my
life
time
living
in
it
made
me
think
about
my
mother,
who
was
undocumented
for
a
period
of
time
during
my
childhood.
It
made
me
think
about
all
the
times.
I've
looked
over
my
shoulder
to
review
and
through
my
review,
mirror
because
I
thought
it
was
my
turn
to
be
stopped.
J
J
G
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
just
quickly,
and
I
think
my
co-sponsor
council
mejia
would
agree.
Can
we
suspend
the
rules
and
add
council
o'malley
as
an
original
co-sponsor,
given
the
fact
the
incident
occurred
in
his
district
and
of
course
he
raised
it
in
the
council
meeting
right
after
to
talk
about
how
critically
important
it
is
that
we
didn't
let
this
event
just
pass
us
by.
A
G
G
There
are
tragic
examples,
particularly
of
black
men
and
brown
men
being
profiled
targeted,
even
murdered
for
just
walking
or
running
in
their
own
neighborhood.
I
cannot
watch
another
video
of
what
often
starts
as
a
police
stop
or
worse
in
the
case
of
omar
aubry
by
vigilantes,
going
from
troubling
to
life,
threatening
in
a
matter
of
minutes.
That
should
not
happen
anywhere
and
certainly
not
in
the
city
of
boston.
G
The
incident
between
ice
and
beena
earlier
this
month
is
a
painful
reminder
that
ice
agents
continue
to
operate
on
our
streets
and
are
targeting
black
and
brown
residents
and
putting
all
of
our
lives
at
risk.
We
must
continue
our
advocacy
to
limit
the
presence
of
federal
law
enforcement
in
our
community
and,
of
course,
protect
our
residents
and
their
rights.
This
stop
was
blatantly
racist
and
this
is
an
example
of
racial
profiling
and,
while
I'm
grateful
it
did
not
escalate.
I
know
how
traumatizing
and
terrifying
it
was
for
the
individual
involved.
G
I've
been
in
contact
with
his
family,
who
are
also
traumatized.
It
doesn't
just
affect
the
individual.
It
affects
the
community
and
the
family
as
well.
It's
a
call
to
action
for
all
of
us
to
be
honest
about
the
racial
disparities
that
exist
not
only
with
respect
to
ice
and
what
is
happening
at
the
federal
level.
G
I
also
want
to
thank
thank
and
lift
up.
The
aclu
who
has
taken
on
this
case
immediately
responded,
of
course,
when
I
think
council
o'malley
as
a
district
councillor
for
that
area,
who
also
immediately
responded
along
with
state
state
elected
from
that
area
and
our
congresswoman
presley
and
other
federal
members
and
other
members
of
the
federal
delegation
who
stepped
up
quickly
as
well.
So,
thank
you
again.
Thank
you,
council
mejia
for
your
leadership
and
your
partnership
as
well.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
G
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
president,
thank
you,
of
course,
to
the
two
lead
sponsors,
counselors,
mejia
and
councillor
campbell,
for
their
leadership
and
for
including
me
on
this.
I
there
are
no
profound
words
I
have
to
say.
I
don't
need
to
illustrate
the
fact
that
black
men
and
women
are
being
murdered
for
wearing
a
hoodie
or
selling
loose
cigarettes
or
jogging.
F
F
Thankfully,
thank
god
did
not
end
up
tragically
in
death,
but
it
was
a
tragic
reminder
of
how
much
work
we
need
to
do
as
a
city,
I've
gotten
to
know
benna
a
little
bit.
We've
gone
running
together
since
then
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks,
he's
a
little
he's
10
years
younger
than
me,
but
expecting
his
new
baby.
Soon,
I
don't
think
it's.
I
don't
think.
F
I'm
telling
tails
out
of
school-
and,
like
me,
you
know,
has
taken
to
running
during
the
pandemic
as
a
means
to
help
stay
healthy,
both
mentally
and
physically
lose
weight.
You
know
me
more
than
him
and
he
was
doing
what
so
many
of
us
do
and
to
be
candid,
as
as
a
white
man,
I
do
without
ever
thinking,
there's
a
risk
of
something
happening.
F
The
only
risk
I
have
when
I
run
is
that
I'm
going
to
have
shin
splints
and
thank
god
he
had
the
presence
of
mine
and
the
strength,
quite
frankly,
to
pull
out
his
cell
phone
during
this
incident.
I
don't
know
that
I
would
have
had
that
strength.
I
certainly
don't
believe
I
would
have
had
that
presence
of
mine
said
to
him.
Were
you
worried
that
you
would
have
been
shot
when
you
went
for
your
phone
with
the
ice
officers,
saying
that
perhaps
you
were
grabbing
a
weapon.
N
F
Just
said
that
he
had
to
do
it
and
thank
god
that
he
did
because
that
it
shouldn't
have
taken
that,
but
that
is
what
diffused
the
situation
with
the
ice
officers.
You
know
this
resolution
is
so
important
because
it
again
reaffirms
a
the
work
that
we
need
to
do
as
a
city
and
the
fact
that
we
can't
we're
not
we're
not.
We
can't
in
good
conscience,
say
this
doesn't
happen
here.
This
happens
in
other
cities.
This
happens
in
other
states.
This
happens
in
the
south.
This
happens
in
the
midwest.
F
This
doesn't
happen
here.
This
can
happen
here
and
we
have
a
hell
of
a
lot
of
work
to
do
so
again.
I
I
can't
add
anything
more
other
than
my
sincere
appreciation
for
my
two
colleagues
for
including
me
on
this
important
resolution
and
look
forward
to
continuing
the
work
as
long
as
as
long
as
we
are
in
these
positions
and
beyond.
So
thank
you,
madam
president.
L
Thank
you,
madam
president,
so
I
just
want
to
also
focus
folks
on
who,
who
don't
understand
necessarily
the
depth
of
the
issue
with
ice
and
detains
doing
detentions
and
doing
these
unlawful
stops.
The
reality
is
ice
has
detained
according
to
the
new
york
times
and
others,
thousands
of
us
citizens
incorrectly
and
when
I
say
detained,
I
mean
held
and
locked
up
thousands
of
u.s
citizens
incorrectly
over
the
last
decade.
It's
not
an
issue
that
gets
a
lot
of
attention.
L
The
reality
is,
as
a
public
defender,
I
often
saw
ice
targeting
not
just
folks
who
I
represented,
who
were
in
courts
for
very
minor
issues
like
a
failure
to
produce
a
license.
Things
like
that,
but
also
folks
who
were
coming
in
to
file
reports,
folks,
who
were
looking
for
protection
from
the
courts
who
were
then
being
detained
with
no
notice,
but
no
warning
taken
away
from
their
families.
L
And
if
you
see
that
happen
before
you-
and
I
have
it's
an
incredibly
traumatic
experience,
there's
no
warning
there's
no
preparation
for
their
children
for
people
in
that
situation,
and
I
think
what
people
may
not
understand
is
that
the
barrier
for
arrest
for
a
detention
for
ice
is
so
low.
Had
he
had
the
same
name
as
the
person
who
they
were
seeking.
L
And
so
if
we
are
going
to
really
protect
our
population,
if
we're
really
going
to
stand
up
and
say
these
things
are
wrong,
we
need
to
identify
them
when
they
happen.
We
need
to
be
outspoken
when
it
occurs,
and
we
really
need
to
be
clear
that
this
is
not
just
a
threat
for
undocumented
folks.
This
is
not
just
a
threat
for
people
of
color
ice
has
a
history
of
detaining
citizens
of
this
country.
L
L
Isn't
just
a
personal
color
issue,
this
isn't
just
a
immigrant
issue.
This
is
an
everybody
issue.
They
do
these
things
in
our
name.
They
are
empowered
by
us.
They
do
them
with
our
tax
dollars.
This
is
this
is
a
requirement
for
all
of
us
to
stand
up
and
be
heard
on
these
issues,
and
so
thank
you
for
this
moment
to
share
the
realities
that
we're
up
against,
and
I
appreciate
everybody
taking
the
time
to
really
dig
in
on
this
issue.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
wanted
to
echo,
not
even
echo.
I
wanted
to
emphasize
part
of
this
resolution
that
I'm
very
proud
to
sign
on
to
when
that
opens
up
is
the
fact
that
it
states
that
we
as
leaders
have
a
moral
obligation
to
act
and
legislate
in
a
way
that
protects
the
interests
and
safety
of
our
constituency,
and
so
I'm
calling
on
our
colleague
my
colleagues
to
let's
get
deep
and,
let's
think
about
what
that
action
looks
like
and
what
that
legislation
looks
like.
B
We
have
a
trust
act
and
that
trust
act
is
about
communication
between
the
bpd,
the
boston
police
department
and
ice.
This
didn't
involve
the
bpd.
This
was
ice,
acting
a
fool
if
you
will
on
our
streets
and
harassing
folks
in
boston.
So
what
are
we
going
to
do?
What
can
we
legislate?
What
we?
What
can
we
push
on
and
how
do
we
hold
them
accountable?
As
an
agency?
You
know
we
have
you
know
to
me.
This
is
a
this.
Is
a
warning
shot
or
if
anything,
this
is
a
last
warning.
B
Don't
ever
do
this
again
if
we
are
going
to
have
any
relationship
with
you
in
any
shape
or
form
at
brick
at
the
city
level,
any
way,
shape
or
form.
You
cannot
harass
our
constituency.
You
cannot
harass
people
in
boston
and
racially
do
so
and
then
expect
us
to
to
work
with
you
in
any
way,
shape
or
form.
You
are
losing
not
just
the
trust
of
the
constituency,
but
the
trust
of
the
administration,
the
trust
of
our
law
enforcement
and,
of
course,
the
trust
of
the
council.
B
There
needs
to
be
repercussions
for
this
action,
and
the
city
needs
to
more
than
condemn
needs
to
say
this
is
the
first
and
last
and
never
will
happen
again.
Otherwise,
we
don't
work
with
you
in
any
way,
shape
or
form
no
exceptions,
no,
nothing,
including
brick.
That's
what
I'm
talking
about
meaningful
action.
We
need
to
also
wonder
I
mean
I
I'm
happy
to
research
and
work
with
folks
about
why.
Why
isn't
all
law
enforcement
wearing
a
camera?
B
It
shouldn't
have
been
him
the
person
the
victim
to
have
to
record
this,
and
it
shouldn't
have
had
to
force
that
camera
was
his
defense.
It's
called
daylight
and
transparency
if
you're
truly
part
of
the
law
enforcement
community
and
truly
you're
trying
to
keep
people
safe,
you're,
not
scared
of
either
you're,
not
scared
of
transparency.
You're,
not
scared
of
daylight
you're,
not
scared
of
people
watching
you
do
your
job,
which
is
to
be
a
hero
and
to
protect
and
serve
those
of
us.
B
That's
why
it's
so
just
disheartening
to
me
that
they
did
this.
This
is
not
individuals,
there's
a
culture
within
I
that
would
allow
them
to
out
of
their
jurisdiction
right
out
of
there
any
real
reason
they
are
about
immigration
enforcement.
Someone
is
jogging
down
the
street.
They
have
a
culture,
a
lack
of
accountability,
one
that
clearly
is
racist.
One,
that's
clearly
is
discriminatory
that
they
could
just
do
this
for
joy
for,
for,
for
I
don't
know
whatever
giggles
that
they
thought
they
were
getting
out
of
this.
They
were
protecting
no
one.
B
There
was
no
call
about
anyone
and
I
think,
that's
important
for
us
to
really
push
them
on
their
someone,
or
I
will
put
a
foia
request
in
to
figure
out
who
were
they
supposedly
going
after
what
call
and
what
supposed
crime
that
they
felt
that
they
needed
to
investigate
any
random
dragger
going
by
it's
harassment,
and
we,
as
a
city
of
boston,
can
do.
We
must
at
the
council
today
support
this
resolution,
but
we
need
to
go
deeper.
B
I
want
to
figure
out
how
we
disassociate
and
hold
them
accountable
as
and
if
this
happens
ever
again,
the
city
of
boston
is
through
with
you.
What
they
did
is
disgusting,
but
u.s
senators
sit
in
to
our
constituency
to
any
person
here
for
no
apparent
reason.
Besides
the
fact
that
he
is
black
that
hurts
us
all,
whatever
trust
we
are
trying
to
build,
whatever
enforcement
and
protection
and
safety
that
we
are
trying
to
maintain,
you
want
to
maintain
order,
you
don't
let
ice
go
out
of
order
and
act
this
this
this
way.
B
You
really
want
us
to
trust
and
believe
when
the
police
say
to
do
something,
you
cannot
let
ice.
Do
these
obnoxious
actions
to
our
constituency,
so
I
I
am
excited
about
supporting
this
resolution.
I'm
excited
about
pushing
even
further
and
taking
those
actions
that
we
act
and
legislate
in
a
way
that
protects
the
interests
and
safety
of
our
constituency
for
this
resolution.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
M
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
I
also
want
to
thank
council
mejia,
councillor
campbell
and
councillor
o'malley,
for
bringing
this
forward
learned.
I
learned
a
lot
about
this
incident
like
many
of
us
over
the
over
the
media,
but
we
had
elected
officials
that
really
stepped
up
and
addressed
it.
So
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
on
the
boston
city
council
that
really
worked
hard
to
make
sure
that
civil
rights
and
equal
rights
are
are
part
of
community
policing.
M
I
want
to
say
thank
you
also
to
my
colleague,
michael
flaherty,
that
worked
with
stephen
lynch
congressman
lynch
and
with
matt
o'malley,
but
I
just
want
to
especially
say
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
on
the
city
council
for
bringing
this
forward
this
important
issue
and
there's
a
lot
for
us
to
learn
about
racial
profiling
from
this
from
this
incident.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
my
colleagues.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
A
J
A
You,
council
o'malley,
for
your
words
at
our
last
meeting
when
this
incident
happened.
It
is
important
that
we
continue
this
conversation
and
that
we
back
up
the
conversation
with
real
action,
as
councilor
edwards
has
noted,
and
she
made
a
point
of
repeating
this
is
not
about
the
individuals
it's
about
a
culture.
We
often
talk
about.
You
know
bad
players
and
and
rotten
apples
we're
not
dealing
with
rotten
apples.
The
whole
barrel
is
rotten.
A
That
is
the
challenge
that
we
have
to
force
ourselves
to
realize
and
until
we
are
willing
to
deal
with
that
barrel,
because
the
barrel
will
continue
to
rot
the
good
apples.
That's
why
we've
got
to
deal
with
the
system
with
the
culture
so
great
to
see
this
come
forward.
Now
that
there's
no
other
discussion
would
love
to
see
who
would
like
to
add
their
names.
A
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
clerk,
if
you
could,
please
add
counselor
edwards
councillor
braden
councillor
flynn,
councillor
bach,
council,
sabri,
george
council
of
flaherty
council
of
wu.
Please
also
add
the
chair
docket.
Oh,
wait!
No
council!
So
these
are.
This
is
a
resolution
council?
Oh,
please,
also
add
counselor
arroyo,
madam
clerk.
A
C
H
D
I
F
D
A
F
D
F
A
A
We
imagining
what
public
safety
and
community
empowerment
look
like
and
as
how
we
invest
our
federal
dollars.
This
resolution
is
to
show
our
support
for
our
congresswoman
and
our
federal
partners
as
they
work
to
get
this
done.
The
breed
act
encompasses
four
main
ideas:
divesting
federal
funds
from
incarceration
and
policing,
investing
and
non-carceral
non-punitive
systems
that
center
community
safety
and
black
lives,
including
black
mothers,
black
trans
people
and
women,
three
prioritizing
funding
to
build
healthy,
equitable
and
sustainable
communities
and
four
holding
political
leaders
accountable
and
empowering
black
communities
to
guide
their
own
decision-making.
A
A
Not
only
in
public
safety
and
criminal
justice
reform,
but
also
are
banning
facial
recognition
and
the
recent
recommendations
around
police
reform,
but
also
in
areas
like
planning,
language,
access
and
much
more,
but
as
always,
there
is
still
more
work
to
do
in
dismantling
the
many
barriers
that
continue
to
be
prevalent
and
continue
to
push
the
needle.
That
says,
but
I
like
to
say,
change
the
record
we're
doing
too
much
of
the
pushing
the
needle.
A
We
need
to
continue
to
support
our
federal
partners
and
those
at
the
state
and
breaking
systemic
inequities
that
impact
individuals
at
the
local
level
of
the
state
and
the
federal
level
throughout
our
city.
Therefore,
I
am
proud
to
present
this
resolution
alongside
council
bach,
and
ask
that
my
colleagues
suspend
the
rules
and
pass
adopt
this
resolution
and
support
this
work
moving
forward.
Thank
you.
So
much.
F
H
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
to
the
council
president.
I'm
proud
to
co-sponsor
this
with
her.
She
described
many
of
the
sort
of
core
pillars
behind
this,
but
I
think
what
I
really
want
to
emphasize
in
addition
to
the
fact
that
it's
a
way
for
us
to
show
support
for
congresswoman,
ayanna,
pressley
and
rashida
talib
who've
really
been
championing
this
at
the
federal
level.
H
One
thing
it
proposes
is
a
brand
new
federal
agency
completely
dedicated
to
community
safety,
but
grounded
in
public
health
rather
than
criminal
punishment.
So
this
would
be
called
the
community
public
safety
agency,
which
would
research,
non-punitive,
non-cultural
approaches
to
public
safety,
provide
technical
assistance
and
provide
grants
that
fund
this
kind
of
non-punitive
non-carceral
approach
to
public
safety
in
state
and
local
governments,
and
I
think
you
know,
we've
all
seen
that
when,
when
something's
a
federal
priority,
if
it's
keeping
your
harbor
safe,
then
suddenly
you
have
a
lot
of
funding
for
harbor
safety.
F
E
C
E
C
E
And
so
I
just
if
we're
particularly
if
we're
we're
moving
for
a
suspension
and
passage,
I
I
would
like
to
have
the
document
I'd
like
to
sort
of
learn
about
some
of
the
intricacies
of
it.
I
understand,
as
it
just
was,
framed
that
it's
a
framework
for
reform,
but
if
it's,
if
it's
that
comprehensive,
I
I
think
it
may
be
like
a
15
or
20
page
document.
I
just
would
like
that
to
be
included
in
our
packet
and
or
if
someone
could
send
it
to
me.
E
Maybe
we
take
a
recess.
We
read
through
the
13
14
15
pages
and
we
can
make
an
informed
decision
that
on
all
of
the
parts
of
it,
I
assume
that
I'll
probably
believe
and
be
willing
to
support
a
significant
portion
of
it,
but
maybe
not
all
of
it.
So
I
don't
want
to
be
boxed
out
here.
So
through
you,
the
chair
to
the
makers,
do
they
have
a
copy
of
the
actual
federal
legislation.
A
E
E
F
H
It's
technically
a
federal
bill
proposal
right
now,
rather
than
a
formal
bill,
although
it
the
way,
I
don't
know
folks,
know
this,
but
whereas
for
we
draft
all
of
our
legislation
here
in
the
council
at
the
congressional
level,
actually
you
put
together
like
a
full
description
of
what
you're
achieving
with
the
legislation
and
then
there's
actually
a
a
sort
of
all-purpose
congressional
legal
team
that
drafts
the
final
language
and
so,
and
so
that
piece
is
still
in
process.
And
so
really.
H
What
I
think
we're
asking
folks
to
support
here
with
the
resolution
today
is
the
the
sort
of
full
federal
bill
proposal
of
the
kind
of
core
goals
of
this.
And
what
what's
trying
to
be
achieved.
But
we
have,
I
will
send
over
a
pdf
to
everybody
and-
and
I
just
I
guess
I
would
encourage
counselor
flaherty.
H
I
think
that
the
kind
of
the
kind
of
diligence
that
he's
describing
would
be
very
important
were
we
in
congress
voting
on
the
final
bill
before
us,
but
I
think
the
spirit
of
the
resolution
would
be
supporting
supporting
the
desire
for
these
kinds
of
principles
to
drive
action
at
the
federal
level,
and
I
I
trust-
I
trust
our
siblings,
older,
siblings,
perhaps
in
the
federal
legislature,
to
take
care
of
the
t's
and
the
eyes
on
that
front.
But
thank
you,
mr
chair.
F
E
Just
if
I'm
gonna,
if
the
council
or
me
specifically,
but
I'm
gonna,
go
on
in
on
record
supporting
the
breathe
act,
I
would
one
like
to
have
a
copy
of
it
and
two
like
to
know.
You
know
how
comprehensive
it
is
and
again
you
know,
do
I
support
every
facet
of
it,
the
framework
piece
of
it
and
or
us
calling
for
some
of
the
changes
in
that
framework.
E
Of
course,
that
makes
some
sense,
but
I'd
really
like
to
see
what
else
it
entails
for
me
to
feel
comfortable
voting
on
this
today,
just
as
a
matter
of
basic
fairness
to
to
me
as
a
as
a
member
of
the
body
and
wanting
to
have
the
information
and
be
able
to
read
it,
myself
make
an
informed
decision
and
then
cast
a
vote
to
either
support
adoption
or
resolution.
Unless
this
is
going
to
go
into
committee,
and
this
is
something
we
can
hash
out.
E
F
F
If
that's
the
right
characterization,
madam
president,
comes
for
box,
so
it
is
the
two
authors,
as
I
understand
it,
or
calling
for
a
suspension
of
the
rules
and
adoption
or
a
vote
on
this
on
this
hearing,
or
excuse
me
on
this
resolution,
which
I
certainly
support
and
will
add
my
name
at
the
current
time
to
do
so.
Of
course,
those
watching
know
that
an
individual
can.
F
It
only
takes
one
counselor
to
object
to
prevent
a
vote
or
a
rule
change
which
would
prevent
this
vote
so
we're
not
there.
Yet.
Hopefully,
we
can
have
some
more
further
discussion
or
have
some
more
questions
answered,
but
just
want
to
sort
of
illustrate
the
process
before
us.
Currently,
the
chair
now
recognizes
the
district
councilor
from
dorchester
councillor
baker.
You
have
the
floor.
K
K
F
F
K
We're
voting
to
support
legislation
here,
whatever
you,
people
want
to
say
framework
or
whatever,
but
we're
voting
to
support
legislation
and
to
not
have
the
legislation
for
a
full
week
before
us
is
again
another
slam.
Dunk
should
be.
We
should
be
going
to
committee.
If
we
really
want
to
talk
about
this.
But
again,
I
remember
what
happened
to
me
in
march
when
I
invoked
rule
31,
so
I'm
not
going
to
do
that
here
today.
F
F
F
B
F
That
is
that,
well,
it
is
my
understand.
Interpretation
is
cherry.
Yes,
you
are
correct,
although
the
way
I
would
phrase
it
is.
The
two
sponsors
have
asked
to
suspend
the
rules
and
put
this
before
the
body,
in
which
case
it
in
the
it's
the
opinion
of
the
chair,
that
it
is
before
the
body
by
robert's
rules
of
orders
and
the
clerk
will
will
clarify
this.
F
I
I
In
addition
to
also
supporting
this
resolution,
obviously
understand
and
appreciate
the
rules
as
they
are
the
guiding
factors
of
our
body,
but
will
should
the
opportunity
arise?
Add
my
name
to
this,
but
also
would
appreciate
a
very
sort
of
robust
and
public
discussion
about
the
breathe
act
and
its
implications
for
us
here
in
boston
in
particular.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.

I
M
F
D

J

J
J
You,
madam
president,
I
feel
like
he
say
this
every
election,
but
the
election
coming
up
is
going
to
be
the
most
important
one
of
our
lifetime.
With
everything
that's
been
going
on,
our
lives
are
at
the
ballot
this
year.
Every
single
vote
will
matter.
Believe
me.
I
know
I
won
by
one,
which
is
why
we
have
to
do
everything
that
we
can
to
make
sure
that
everyone
who
is
eligible
to
vote
has
access
to
the
ballot
box.
J
J
There,
meaning
there
are
nearly
600
eligible
voters
in
suffolk
county
who
may
not
be
able
to
easily
cast
their
ballots.
So
this
resolution
is
a
call
to
action.
We
have
13
days
to
place
a
ballot
box
outside
of
a
house
of
correction
in
boston
of
all
of
the
barriers
that
have
been
put
in
the
way
to
prevent
people
from
voting.
This
is
one
of
the
easiest
to
tear
down
it's
just
one
ballot
box.
J
I
move
that
we
suspend
the
rules
and
pass
this
resolution
and
let
it
be
known
that,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
those
who
are
most
impacted
and
live
in
the
realities
deserve
the
right
to
decide
who
should
be
representing
them,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
here
in
the
city
of
boston
to
lead
with
that.
So
I'm
encouraging
my
colleagues
to
enthusiastically
sign
on
on
this
resolution
and
do
right
by
all.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
B
You
and
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
the
work
of
councillor
o'malley,
who
actually
initiated
this
conversation
specifically
about
the
safety
and
inclusion
of
all
people,
despite
our
pandemic
in
our
democratic
process.
So
I
want
to
thank
him.
Counselor
flynn
also
attended
the
the
hearing
as
as
did
counselor
bach
and
all
of
us
were
and
counselor
braden,
and
I
apologize
if
I
missed
my
other
colleagues
who
attended,
of
course,
councilor
mejia
was
there,
and
the
goal
really
was
to
keep
pushing
forward.
B
Despite
the
moment
that
we're
in
and
what
we've
seen
is
the
elections
department
to
their
credit,
has
made
sure
that
many
of
us
were
voting
at
levels
that
we
had
never
before.
We
went
from
2
to
17
ballot
boxes,
drop
off
boxes
in
the
city
of
boston
between
the
primary
and
the
general
election.
These
are
all
good
things.
B
I
really
appreciate
working
with
you.
I
wanted
to
say
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
concluded
that
we
found
out
the
standards
for
a
dropbox
were
very
simple,
that
it's
in
a
secure
place
in
a
highly
frequented
and
it's
publicly
owned
area.
So
that's
why
libraries
are
ideal
for
this,
but,
as
I
noted
the
house
of
corrections
is,
is
publicly
owned.
It
is
a
secure
place
and
many
people
frequent
it.
Now
there
was
a
boat
to
help.
B
B
You
matter
your
voice
matters
and
don't
forget
to
vote,
and
we
also
felt
at
this
particular
moment
it
was
low-hanging
fruit
that
we
could
at
least
put
a
ballot
box.
That's
secure
at
the
house
of
in
the
front
of
the
house
corrections
in
front
of
the
major
entrances
that
is
already
a
secure
plane,
but
just
to
give
some
background
for
folks
to
understand
people
with
misdemeanors
can
vote.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
on
pre-trial
who
haven't
been
convicted
of
any
crime
who
are
incarcerated
as
well
on
any
given
day.
B
There
are
eight
to
ten
thousand
eligible
voters
in
massachusetts,
who
are
incarcerated.
Eight
to
ten
thousand
people,
and
so
are.
Are
we
as
municipality?
Are
we
as
government
officials?
Are
we
as
a
community,
pushing
to
make
sure
their
voice
matters
just
as
much
as
everyone
else
is
when
they
see
the
sandwich
boards
when
they
see
the
the
ballots
coming
into
their
homes?
Are
we
really
putting
the
same
effort
into
them?
Have
we
already
dismissed
them
and
denied
them
their
voice
in
democracy?
I
hope
not,
and
I
think
that
again
this
is
low-hanging
fruit.
B
They
put
a
ballot
box
there.
Other
things
that
we
should
consider,
quite
frankly
as
a
municipality,
is
with
a
certain
within
making
sure
that
we
implement
policies
going
forward
that,
within
a
certain
amount
of
days
before
the
election,
that
the
absentee
ballot
applications
will
be
provided
by
the
elections
department,
specifically
for
those
in
suffolk
county
in
boston
who
are
incarcerated,
that
there
should
be
a
concerted
effort
from
our
city
to
lead
the
way.
B
We
also
need
to
make
sure
that
there's
community
communication
and
coordination
between
our
elections,
commission
and
the
sheriff-
I
know
the
sheriff-
has
come
out,
at
least
for
his
facility
and
other
sheriffs
have
come
out
to
say
that
they
have
provided
this.
I
think
that
it's
absolutely
wonderful,
but
that's
him
going
above
and
beyond.
We
have
a
department
of
elections,
and
I
want
them
to
be
part
of
that
conversation.
B
And
finally,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
people
can
use
their
place
of
incarceration
as
their
residents
and
make
sure
that
they
understand
that
that
they
can
use
it
as
their
residence
and
not
be
waiting
for
a
ballot
that
they
could
have
applied
for
going
to
their
home
address
that
they
don't
get
because
they're
currently
incarcerated.
So
these
are
things
that
we
could
push
for
advertise
advocate
for
and
just
outright
for
our
elections
department
to
really
put
get
themselves
involved
right
away.
B
It's
about
making
our
state
and
our
process
more
democratic.
It's
about
not
dismissing
humanity
and
people
who
are
incarcerated,
who
have
the
right
to
vote
and,
in
some
cases
haven't
been
convicted
of
crime
at
all
they're,
just
pre-trial
they
actually
just
didn't,
have
the
probation
money
or
the
bail
money
to
get
to
avoid
that.
So,
let's
be
clear
about
who
we
are
incarcerating
as
well.
B
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I'm
very
proud
to
be
a
co-sponsor
of
this
resolution
again
thanking
the
lead
sponsor
of
the
entire
conversation
which
was
councilor
o'malley
for
making
sure
that
we
even
got
to
this
point.
So
thank
you.
So
much.
Thank
you
so
much
councillor
mejia
as
well,
for
your
leadership.
G
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
council
mejia
for
your
leadership
and
thank
you
councillor
edwards
as
well
for
the
partnership,
and
yes
thank
you
to
council
o'malley
for
continuing
the
critical
conversation
with
respect
to
not
only
the
most
important
presidential
election
of
our
lifetime,
but
how
you
know
voting
in
every
election
matters
and
the
work
you've
done
in
that
space
is
greatly
appreciated.
I'll,
be
quick.
You
know
why
I'm
so
excited
by
this
is
one
on
the
voter
awareness
piece.
G
There
is
such
misinformation
in
the
community
that
there
are
so
many
folks
who
do
not
know
that
if
they
are
formally
incarcerated,
pre-trial
detainees
or
a
pre-trial
anything
that
they
have
the
right
to
vote
in
our
elections
and
whether
it
is
putting
making
it
easier
in
terms
of
access
with
a
mailbox
so
that
they
know
that
they
see
that
or
that
their
family
members
who
are
engaging
with
those
who
are
incarcerated
are
also
aware
of
this.
It
goes
a
long
way
in
just
the
the
voter
awareness
piece.
G
I
was
recently
on
a
radio
station
with
past
pastor.
Pastor
hobbs
was
there,
but
with
priscilla,
flint,
pastor,
hobbs
chimed
in
on
the
work
he
was
doing
in
this
regard,
particularly
with
sheriff
tompkins,
who
was
proactively
working
to
ensure
that
people
are
aware
that
they
have
the
right
to
vote
so
want
to
thank
him
as
well,
and,
of
course,
we
included
him
in
the
resolution
and
then
on
the
second
piece.
G
I
guess
I'm
borrowing,
council
mejia's,
point
all
means
all
right.
So
literally,
if
we
want
full
participation
and
to
see
our
numbers
go
up,
we
have
to
make
it
easier.
We've
done
a
lot
to
push
for
early
voting
mailing
in
ballots,
ensuring
that
those
who
are
unable
to
cast
their
ballot
on
their
own
have
some
assistance.
Language
access,
you
name
it
breaking
down.
Barriers
is
critically
important
and
when
you
look
at
what's
happening
across
this
country
with
respect
to
voter
suppression,
which
is
real,
we
should
be
thinking
about
anything
and
everything.
G
We
can
do
to
make
sure
that
the
commonwealth
is
a
leader
with
respect
to
these
efforts
so
really
proud
to
partner
with
councillors,
mejia
and
edwards
on
this.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
the
follow-up.
After
that.
Hearing
which
I
wasn't
able
to
participate
in,
but
I
saw
online
and
again
taking
action
when
you
hear
legitimate
things
that
we
could
be
doing
and
reasonable
things
we
could
be
doing
at
the
city
level
to
make
it
easier
for
folks
to
access
such
an
important
right.
M
M
I
I
think
it's
a
good
idea,
also
ensuring
that
the
personnel
at
the
jail
or
the
house
of
correction
also
have
the
ability
to,
since
it's
in
a
public
location,
also
have
the
ability
to
drop
their
ballot
off
so
we'll
make
it
easier
for
the
the
court
personnel
and
the
in
the
the
sheriff's
department
as
well,
making
it
easier
for
them
to
drop
off
their
ballot.
So
I
think
it's
very
helpful
in
that
regard,
and
for
a
lot
of
the
families
that
do
visit
their
loved
ones.

This,
the
the
rail
line,
the
highway,
the
the
massachusetts
pike
and
the
store
drive
and
then
the
the
paul
white
cycle
track
all
together
in
a
very,
very
narrow
area.
It's
about
most
it's
of
what
utmost
importance
that
we
continue
to
create
walkable
and
bikeable
neighborhoods
well
connected
with
access
to
the
river
and
that
that
the
options
for
safe,
cycling
or
and
pedestrian
access
are
considered
in
all
of
the
options
being
considered.
N
Every
day,
as
we
look
forward
to
a
21st
century
solution,
we
want
to
consider
multi-modal
transportation
options,
including
train
commuter
trains,
shared
bus
lanes,
bicycle
tracks
and
north-south
connections
as
well.
So
I
I'm
asking
my
colleagues
to
urge
the
massachusetts
department
of
transportation
to
offer
due
diligence
and
serious
consideration
to
design
elements
which
will
prioritize
a
livable,
walkable
and
bikeable
riverbank
and
parkland
for
all,
including
an
upgrade
option
for
a
design
for
the
throat
area.
H
Thank
you
so
much.
Madam
president,
I
wanted
to
commend
councillor
braden
on
bringing
this
to
the
council
and
also
strongly
express
my
support.
Although
the
project
in
question
will
really
unlock
this
huge
community
potential
for
the
area
that
councilor
braden
represents
in
allston.
Technically,
the
throat
is
just
inside
of
my
district
district
8..
H
H
Our
transportation
department
for
the
city
of
boston
has
been
advocating
very
strongly
for
something
that
really
takes
into
consideration.
Walkers
bikers
you
know,
transit
users
and
kind
of
the
possibility
for
a
real
new
neighborhood
here,
but
I
can't
emphasize
enough
how
important
it
is
for
everyone's
voice
to
be
heard
on
this,
because,
unfortunately,
what
you're
really
doing
is
an
urban
planning
project
with
huge
potential
for
our
city
in
this
neighborhood
specifically.
But
the
agency
doing
it
fundamentally
builds
highways
right
and
like
when
you're
when
you're
a
hammer.
H
There's,
just
a
lot
of
things
that
are
on
the
table
here
and
short-sighted
thinking
of
the
kind
that
we
have
seen
a
few
times
in
this
process,
and
that
is
reflected.
I
think,
in
a
spreadsheet
recently
published
by
the
department
of
transportation
for
thinking
through
this
decision
is
going
to
set
us
back
in
a
huge
way.
So
this
really
is
a
generational
moment.
H
I
think
councilor
brandon
is
right
to
bring
it
to
the
whole
council
and
ask
for
everybody's
support
and-
and
I
think
we
in
the
council
expressing
our
view
on
this-
we
would
be
at
one
with
the
mayor's
administration
and
our
transportation
department.
That's
also
been
very
vocal
in
this
front,
so
madam
chair,
please
add
my
name
thank.
M
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Madam
president,
please
add
my
name.
I
just
want
to
thank
councillor
braden
for
highlighting
so
many
health-related
issues
as
it
relates
to
the
mass
pike.
I
know
she
referenced
chinatown
and
you
know
alston
and
brighton
is
lucky
to
have
a
leader
like
council
of
braden
and
and
the
reason
I
bring
this
up.
M
Madam,
madam
president,
is
my
neighborhood
in
chinatown
because
of
the
mass
pike
we're
dealing
with
terrible
public
health
related
issues
because
of
the
mass
pike
because
of
the
highway
system
because
of
the
trains
in
and
out
from
south
station,
the
the
truck
route
from
maine
to
florida.
There's.
No,
it's
not
a
coincidence
that
we
have
the
highest
asthma
rate
of
any
neighborhood
practically
in
the
country
in
chinatown.
So
you
know
having
an
advocate
like
council
braden
addressing
those
issues
and
also
in
brighton
is
invaluable.
M
A
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
so
much
not
seeing
any
other
discussion,
let's
show
of
physical
hands
for
who
wants
to
add
their
name.
Madam
clerk,
if
you
could
please
capture
counselor
flynn,
council
o'malley,
councillor
edwards,
council
of
mejia
council
of
flaherty,
I
believe
you
have
counselor
bach
councillor,
asabi
george
councillor
baker,
councillor
campbell
councillor
wu,
please
also
add
the
chair,
counselor
baker.
We've
got
you.
I
think
we've
got
everyone
who
wants
to
be
on
there.
Please
also
add
the
chair
council
braden,
seek
suspension
of
the
rules,
an
adoption
of
docket
105
five.
L
D
F
D
A
F
D
F
F
M
M
I
I
thank
all
of
us
who
represent
the
south
end
know
just
how
much
marlene
has
done
for
our
neighborhood.
That's
why
I'm
proud
to
partner
with
president
janey
in
council
council
baker,
the
board
of
the
friends
of
the
south
end
library
recently
reached
out
and
wanted
to
honor
moline
by
naming
the
community
room
on
the
second
floor
of
the
the
library
the
mount
wayne
new
house
community
room
part
of
the
process
to
do
that,
requires
a
vote
by
the
boston
city
council
to
support
this
request.
M
These
are
just
some
of
the
things
that
molly
did
during
her
time.
As
the
head
of
the
friends
of
the
south
end
library,
I
think
she's
completely
deserving
of
being
recognized
for
her
work
and,
and
I
hope
that
we
can
help
get
the
community
room
named
after
her.
I
ask
that
we
suspend
and
pass
this
resolution
today
so
that
the
friends
of
the
salton
library
can
get
what
they
need
for
this
request.
F
A
A
I
am
proud
to
support
this
resolution
on
the
renaming
of
the
southend
library
community
room
after
marlene
newhouse,
who
has
been
instrumental
in
advocating
for
necessary
renovations
to
the
library
and
the
library
park.
Marlene,
like
many
unsung
heroes,
strives
to
make
her
community
a
better
place
and
inviting
for
all
before
retiring.
A
For
many
years
she
led
the
friends
of
the
southend
library,
as
you
heard
from
councillor
flynn
and
they've,
worked
hard
to
build
a
community
and
strengthen
ties
between
residents
and
they
organized
many
events.
You
heard
councillor
flynn
talk
about
the
jazz
and
the
blue
summer
concerts
the
easter
egg
hunts
and
really
taking
care
of
the
library
park
and
creating
a
butterfly
garden.
A
I'm
really
proud
to
have
her
as
a
south
south
end
resident
and
look
forward
to
working
with
her
and
many
of
the
residents
and
electeds
in
the
future,
as
council
flynn
mentioned
in
order
to
rename
the
community
room.
The
first
step
is
passing
this
resolution
on
the
council.
I
encourage
all
of
my
colleagues
to
add
their
name
and
support
this
resolution.
For
those
who
know
marlene,
she
is
just
a
fire.
A
You
know
she's
out
there,
just
getting
it
done,
there's
so
much
activity
in
this
room.
This
room
in
particular
in
the
south
end,
is
such
an
important
room
because
it's
where
so
much
whether
you're
talking
about
the
south
end
forum,
whether
you're
talking
about
the
ward
4
meetings,
if
you're
talking
about
anything
happening
in
this
neighborhood,
the
work
is
happening
right
upstairs.
So
it's
very
fitting
to
to
name
this
room
in
her
honor.
A
So
I'm
encouraging
all
of
my
colleagues
to
join
us
in
supporting
this
resolution,
I
want
to
thank
my
good
friend,
dear
friend,
counselor
flynn,
for
his
leadership
and
his
partnership
working
in
the
south
end
and
want
to
thank
councillor
baker
for
joining
us
as
well,
and
many
thanks
to
marlene
for
all
of
her
work
and
her
amazing
advocacy
in
the
south
end.
Thank
you.
F
F
K
F
F
South
boston,
we
cannot
hear
you
we're
very
choppy
and
coming
in
and
out
we
can,
if
you
want
to
maybe
try
to
connect
just
the
audio
again.
We
can
wait
a
moment
because
I
know
you
want
to
speak
to
this
and
we
may
have
just
lost
counselor
baker.
I
see
counselor
flaherty's
back
I
I
know.
Counselor
baker
wanted
to
speak
on
this,
and
and
the
point
that
I
could
hear
through
some
choppiness
was
about
how
it's
important
to
we
often
do
these
after
someone
has
passed
away.
F
So
so
it's
important
to
recognize
the
good
work
of
our
legendary
bostonians,
while
they're
with
us.
So
I'm
hopeful
that
counselor
baker
will
be
able
to
return
and
we
will
come
back
to
him.
I
do
see
a
video,
so
counselor
baker.
If
you
want
to
get
sick
well,
let's
try
now
sound
check,
counselor
baker.
F
F
Baker,
if
you
can
stop
your
video,
that
may
make
the
that
may
lessen
the
bandwidth
demand
and
allow
for
a
clearer,
clearer
voice.
So
I'm
going
to
come
back
to
you,
I'm
going
to
go
to
counselor
asabi
george
next.
We
will
then
return
to
you,
but
I'd
urge
you
to
turn
your
video
off
and
just
have
the
audio
feature.
So
we
will
return
to
you
counselor
baker,
whose
screen
is
currently
frozen.
I
hope
you
heard
that
counselor.
F
I
I
I
think
her
commitment
and
her
commitment,
which
will
continue,
certainly
in
the
many
years
to
come
to
that
community.
Especially
one
note
I
want
to
make.
Is
we
often
hear
sort
of
the
the
greater
programs
that
are
organized
through
central
library
and
just
in
the
shadows
of
the
central
library
lies
the
south
end
library
and
marlene
has
and
through
her
work
and
through
the
programming?
That's
happened
through
the
friends
has
sort
of
uplifted
it.
I
think
in
many
ways,
far
beyond
some
of
the
program
programming
that
happens
at
the
central
library.
I
F
K
You
hear
me
yes,
please
hear
me:
oh
okay,
I'll
leave
my
I'll
leave
my
camera
off.
I'm
just
happy
to
be
part
of
this.
This
partnership
with
councillor
flynn
and
counselor
janie
maureen,
has
turned
this.
This
volunteer
effort
into
a
full-time
job
like
a
lot
of
people
in
our
neighborhoods,
the
way
they
care
for
for
their
things
that
are
dear
to
them
in
our
neighborhoods
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
we
do
wrong
is
we
we
honor
people
after
they
pass
away.
K
F
Thank
you,
counselor
baker.
We
heard
it
loudly
and
clearly,
and
I
will
just
take
the
chair's
prerogative
to
agree
with
everything
you
just
said.
I
did
not
know
marlene,
although
I
feel
like
I
know
her
with
the
stories
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
was
very
proud
to
have
done.
Early
on
in
my
council
career
was
to
name
the
room
at
the
west,
roxbury
library
after
alice
hennessey,
who
was
a
former
boston
city
council
staff
director
for
many
many
years.
She
was
mayor
tom
menino's
right
hand.
F
I
know
the
clerk
and
she
worked
very
closely
together
and
we
did
it
after
she
passed
away.
She
died
relatively
suddenly,
but
her
husband
bill
was
able
to
be
there
and
then
he
passed
away
shortly
after
so
to
at
least
have
that
opportunity
was
great,
and
I
think
this
is
just
such
a
wonderful
tribute
that
I
will
be
proud
to
support,
not
seeing
any
further
discussion
on
docket
1059.
F
I'd
like
to
now
ask
if
there'd
be
any
counselors
wishing
to
add
their
name
as
co-sponsors.
Madam
clerk,
please
add
counselor
michael
flaherty,
please
add
counselor
julia
mejia,
please
add
counselor
michelle
wu.
Please
add:
counselor
liz
braden,
please
add
counselor
kenzie
bach,
please
add
counselor
ricardo
arroyo,
please
add
counselor
lydia
edwards,
please
add
counselor
andrea
campbell,
please
add
the
chair's
name
and
on
docket
1059
counselors
flynn,
jamie
and
baker
move
for
a
suspension
of
the
rules
and
adoption
and
I'm
sorry
did
I
neglect
to
add
counselor
kenzie
bach.
As
a
co-sponsor.
Oh.
F
D
J
C
D
A
A
L
J
I
A
B
I'm
so
sorry,
I
just
wanted
to
remind
my
colleagues
today.
After
our
meeting
we
are
going
to
be.
I
hope
you
will
join
me
for
a
quick
presentation
from
chris
siminelli
from
the
executive
executive
director
director
for
the
boston
groundwater
trust.
He
will
do
a
wonderful
presentation
that
a
lot
of
all
of
us
have
gone
through.
It's
kind
of
I
hate
to
describe
it
to
the
newbies,
a
form
of
hazing.
B
If
you
will,
you
will
find
out
that
our
entire
city
is
on
a
set
of
pilings
and
that
if
those
pilings
become
exposed
to
air
or
water
you
we
will
sink
into
the
into
the
what
was
formerly
marshland-
and
I
I
was.
I
was
never
the
same
after
that
presentation,
every
single
little
plug
and
whatnot.
I
see
on
the
ground.
I
know
that
at
least
someone's
monitoring
that
I
say
that
as
a
as
a
form
of
humor,
but
it
really
is
kind
of
life-changing.
B
You
have
no
idea,
and
so
I
I
encourage
you
to
come,
hear
about
it
as
newbies
to
learn
about
what
we
can
do
and
also
to
get
the
word
out
about
how
there's
I
know
chris.
Similarly
is
pushing
for
more
infrastructure
and
monitoring
infrastructure
in
places
like
roxbury
and
east
boston
and
other
other
parts
of
the
city,
and
I
formally
support
that.
So
I
hope
you'll
join
me.
It's
a
quick
zoom
20
minutes,
and
so
we
can
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
our
city
and
the
infrastructure
that
supports
it.
M
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Madam
president,
I
just
want
to
echo
what
council
edwards
stated
about
the
groundwater,
trust
I'm
actually
a
member
of
the
committee
and
it's
a
big
issue
not
only
in
east
boston
but
in
the
bay
village,
as
kenzie
bark
knows,
and
it's
a
big
issue
in
the
south
end
in
downtown
boston
as
well,
so
it's
it'll
be
a
very
informative
discussion.
M
A
Well,
I'm
getting
ready
to
felt
like
I
was
going
to
sneeze,
so
no
other
comments
or
announcements
from
colleagues
I'll
just
mention
a
few
one.
I
want
to
recognize
officially
that
we
have
a
new
council
liaison
so
want
to
say,
welcome
to
fernando
ortiz,
I
believe
he
has
signed
on
to
this
zoom.
I
know
he
you
won't
see
his
face,
but
wanted
to
officially
welcome
him.
I
know
neil
is
still
with
us.
We
certainly
want
to
extend
our
deepest
gratitude
to
neil
doherty
for
all
of
his
work.
A
A
As
you
see,
we've
had
a
number
of
technical
difficulties
here,
dealing
with
the
zoom
and
while
that
can
be
annoying,
it's
important
that
we
remember
our
own
privilege
and
that
we
have
the
ability
to
work
and
that
we
can
use
technology
to
do
our
jobs,
which
is
good,
but
it's
still
not
without
its
its
challenges.
So
I
just
want
to
really
extend
my
deepest
gratitude
for
central
staff.
There
have
been
a
lot
of
hearings
this
week.
A
number
of
them
were
late
into
the
evening.
A
So
many
thanks
to
my
colleagues,
central
staff
and
my
own
team,
samwell
kiera,
michaela
and
brandon
for
their
amazing
work.
The
last
thing
that
I
want
to
say,
since
we
had
this
wonderful
discussion
around
the
southend
library
with
that
last
docket
is
I
want
to
bring
into
the
space
mel
king,
who
is
just
an
amazing
boston
treasure
he
celebrated
his
birthday
yesterday,
his
92nd
birthday.
