Good
afternoon
everyone
it's
my
honor
to
introduce
pastor
david
cyrils
from
the
century
central
assembly
of
god,
church
on
bennington
street
in
east
boston.
It's
actually
right
behind
my
house.
This
church
has
been
dedicated
to
service
and
providing
food
and
clothing
for
not
only
before
the
pandemic,
but
also
only
increase
their
services.
H
To
I
have
been
with
david
or
pastor
david,
I
should
say
on
many:
a
peace
walk
in
east
boston,
uniting
our
community,
making
sure
that
all
of
our
community,
our
immigrant
community,
our
long-standing
community,
all
feel
welcome
and
safe
and
feel
that
they're
part
of
the
solutions
to
help
bring
about
a
more
united,
beautiful
east
boston.
Pastor.
I
I
I
We
thank
you,
god
that
we
were
able
to
eat
our
daily
bread.
We
give
thanks.
Oh
god,
we
give
thanks
for
a
woman
named
alice
in
our
congregation
who
struggled
in
homelessness.
Who
now
is
in
a
safe
and
good
place,
has
her
own
room
and
we
give
thanks.
Oh
god,
we
thank
you
for
a
man
named
joe
who
was
struggling
with
addiction
and
homelessness,
and
now
is
sober
and
in
an
apartment,
lord.
We
give
thanks
for
these
good
gifts
and
they
are
a
result
of
the
good
work
going
on.
We
give
thanks.
I
We
also
recognize
our
need
and
the
challenges
that
are
before
us.
We
pray
as
psalm
46
says
to
remember
that
you
are
a
refuge.
You
know
how
we
need
a
refuge
when
we're
facing
great
needs.
We
need
a
place
of
safety,
oh
lord,
in
our
city
and
in
our
personal
lives
that
you
are
our
refuge
and
that
you
are
our
strength.
I
We
need
strength
to
carry
on
when
it
seems
as
if
there's
no
more
energy
to
carry
on
when
we
may
feel
hopeless
in
the
midst
of
dealing
with
ongoing
and
persistent
issues,
give
us
strength,
o
lord,
and
to
remember
that
you
are
an
ever
present
help
in
time
of
need.
We
pray
that
for
this
council
meeting
and
these
counselors,
who
are
here
to
remember
that
you
are
present
in
our
midst
in
the
time
of
need
to
be
our
help,
our
strength,
our
refuge.
I
pray
that
in
christ's
name,
amen,
amen,
amen,.
D
F
Thank
you
again,
uh
pastor
and
thank
you
councillor
edwards.
uh
It's
always
going
to
be
a
good
meeting
if
it
can
begin
with
music-
and
I
again
wanted
to
thank
mariachi
on
boston
for
that
incredible
performance.
Obviously
it
is
hispanic
heritage
month
and
we
are
celebrating
it
now
and
every
month
as
we
should
in
the
city
of
boston.
I
did
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
on
behalf
of
councillor
mejia
and
council
arroyo.
F
We
are
holding
our
virtual
hispanic
heritage
month
celebration,
the
city
councils
on
october,
15th
at
noon
and,
as
you
know,
each
councilor
will
have
two
honorees
to
represent
their
district
uh
to
be
presented
and
recognized.
So
majority
of
this
event
will
be
pre-recorded,
although
some
of
it
will
take
place
in
here,
but
please,
um
if
you
can
send
either
jessica
morris,
my
chief
of
staff
or
kerry
jordan

uh
by
the
end
of
this
week,
uh
the
videos
and
and
the
the
two
uh
honorees
from
your
district.
That
would
be
great.
F
uh
We
have
a
number
of
uh
two
presentations
actually
and
I'd
like
to
begin
by
inviting
uh
paralympian
chaz
davis,
as
well
as
his
parents
mark
and
audrey
uh
his
brother
austin
uh
david
brown,
our
dear
friend
and
tom
grilk,
from
the
boston
athletic
association
to
please
join
me
on
the
deus,
as
some
of
you
know,
um
for
my
last
11
years
in
office.
I
I've
uh
the
wednesday
before
the
marathon
monday,
which
has
always
been
in
april
or
patriots
day.
We've
recognized
some
incredible
marathon
greats.
F
We
began
with
jack
fultz,
who
was
the
winner
in
1976.
I
believe,
but
tom
will
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
um
of
course,
joan
benoit
samuelson
the
greatest
of
all
time,
in
my
opinion,
as
it
relates
to
runners
team
hoyt,
we
had
in
this
very
chamber,
which
was
a
professional
point
of
uh
just
incredible
pride
for
me
uh
who
des
linden
the
the
last
american
woman
to
win
it
back
several
years
ago.
um
Ladies
gentlemen,
please
join
me
right
up
here.
F
um
Just
the
list
goes
on
and
on
just
some
incredible
athletes,
uh
and
we
are
continuing
that
today
by
recognizing
chas
davis
before
I
present
chas.
You
with
the
resolution
join
me
right
up
here.
Wanted
to
tell
you
all
a
little
bit
about
chas
he's
represented
the
united
states
in
the
commonwealth
of
massachusetts
at
the
2016
rio
olympic
paralympic
games.
F
He
earned
his
bachelor's
degree
in
criminal
justice
and
psychology
from
the
university
of
hartford
as
well
as
hartford,
as
well
as
a
master's
degree
in
social
work
from
the
university
of
denver.
During
his
freshman
year
in
college,
he
began
experiencing
loss
of
vision
and
was
later
diagnosed
with
labor
hereditary
optic
neuropathy.
F
In
order
to
obtain
a
spot
at
the
rio
games,
chaz
had
to
complete
at
the
2016
us
paralympic
team
trials
where
he
earned
a
gold
medal
for
the
1500
meter,
as
well
as
the
5
000
meter
track
and
field
events
later
that
year.
He
ran
his
debut
marathon
at
the
united
states
association
for
blind
athletes
where
he
set
a
new
american
record
for
his
division
to
put
in
perspective.
Chaz
runs
about
a
two
and
a
half
hour
marathon,
I'm
typically
at
the
halfway
point
of
a
marathon
course
at
two
and
a
half
hours.
F
um
That's
not
self-effacing.
That's
absolutely!
The
truth.
uh
In
2018,
chaz
ran
the
122nd
boston
marathon
as
part
of
the
massachusetts
association
for
the
blind
and
visually
impaired.
Charity
group
called
team
with
a
vision
and
team
with
a
vision
is
an
international
team
of
runners
whose
goal
is
to
raise
awareness
and
funding
for
rehabilitation,
services,
support
groups
and
assistive
technology
for
individuals
who
are
experiencing
loss
of
vision
and
blindness
and
we're
joined
by
our
dear
friend,
david
brown.
F
I
was
an
executive
with
t
uh
with
mass
association
for
the
blind
and
just
a
dear
friend
to
me.
um
David's
husband
ben,
has
also
offered
the
invocation
of
my
uh
invitation
many
times
here
on
this,
uh
so
it
really
is
old
homes.
Week
with
all
my
dear
friends,
um
chas
now
works
with
the
organization
as
an
adjustment
counselor
and
is
the
coordinator
for
team
with
the
vision.
F
So
I'm
honored
today
chaz
to
present
to
you,
he's
going
to
run
on
monday,
and
we
are
all
will
be
rooting
for
him,
he's
also
a
constituent
of
counselor,
braden's,
district
and
and
typically
I'm
in
council
brains,
district,
I'm
cheering
on
the
runners
and
while
marathon
monday
is
going
to
be
a
big
day.
Today
is
an
equally
auspicious
occasion
today,
the
city
council.
All
of
us
have
voted
to
declare
october
6
2021
as
chaz
davis
day
in
the
city
of
boston.
Congratulations,
we
wish
you
all
the
best
we're
so
proud
of
you.
J
J
And
so
I'm
just
extremely
grateful
to
have
been
given
the
opportunity
to
join
team
with
the
vision
and
the
mass
association
for
the
blind
and
visually
impaired,
where
I
really
can
combine
my
two
passions
of
working
with
people
adjusting
to
vision,
loss
and
also
helping
people
realize
their
dreams
of
competing
in
the
boston
marathon,
as
people
with
visual
impairments
and
the
boston.
Athletic
association
has
just
been
tremendous
with
giving
that
opportunity
and
raising
the
bar
for
elite.
J
F
K
Well,
thank
you
and,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
uh
you're
doing
a
wonderful
thing
here
this
morning.
It
is
very
gratifying
to
see
if
there's
something
particularly
special
about
the
boston
marathon
is
that
it
brings
people
together
in
a
whole
lot
of
ways,
whether
they're
running
or
watching,
or
volunteering
or
just
live
around
here,
and
we
want
to
bring
as
many
people
as
we
can
to
it.
And
jazz
brings
such
excellence
to
this,
along
with
other
athletes
known
as
para
athletes.
K
People
like
chaz
will
often
say
when
they
are
told
that
they
are
inspirational.
But
that's
not
what
they're
here
to
do
they're
not
out
to
inspire
anybody
they're
out
to
do
the
very
best
they
can
for
themselves
and
that's
true,
but
the
rest
of
us
just
can't
help
it.
We
watch
them
and
we
are
inspired
and
think
can
I
do
half
so
well
as
that
at
anything
that
I
do
so.
We
at
the
baa
congratulate
all
of
you
for
recognizing
chaz.
It's
a
wonderful
thing,
good
for
you
and
a
good
day
to
all.
F
Thank
you,
tom
and
good
luck
to
all
uh
marathoners.
On
monday,
a
special
shout
out
to
my
dad,
who
many
of
you
know,
george
o'malley
starting
72
years
old
next
week,
he's
also
running
the
marathon
on
monday
to
raise
money
for
dana
farber
in
honor
of
his
daughter,
my
sister
jill,
so
congrats
to
all
runners
and
and
colleagues.
If
you
please
join
me
for
a
picture
with
chaz.
uh
That
would
be
wonderful,
so
right
up
here,
chairs.

On
monday
we
held
a
hearing
on
docket
0957,
during
which
we
discussed
a
grant
awarded
to
the
city
of
boston,
to
be
administered
by
the
department
of
youth,
engagement
and
employment.
We
were
joined
by
rashad
cope
director
of
y
ee,
along
with
my
council
colleagues,
counselor
bach
and
flynn.
During
the
hearing
we
heard
about
how
we
heard
a
lot
of
stuff.
Let
me
flip
my
page.
O
We
heard
the
grant
will
be
used
to
research
ways
to
build
equity
and
youth
employment
opportunities
in
this
grant,
youth
is
defined
as
anyone
between
the
ages
of
14
to
24..
We
also
learned
that
the
director
will
be
working
to
ensure
that
there
is
feedback
in
real
time
from
the
young
people
participating
in
this
research.
Councilor
bach
also
advocated
that
these
young
people
be
paid
for
their
role
in
this
research
project.
F
F
H
You
very
much
we
had
our
biannual
um
our
second
hearing
on
the
boston
residence
job
policy
as
as,
as
is
required
by
ordinance.
It
was
a
great
hearing
honestly
uh
for
many
reasons,
one.
We
got
some
updates
on
the
csl
course
and
additional
pipelines
that
the
city
is
trying
to
make.
We
also
heard
that
there
finally
moved
formally
all
of
their
enforcement
to
salesforce,
which
makes
for
real-time
enforcement
of
folks
who
are
violating
the
the
ordinance
or
construction
companies.
H
I
want
to
thank
councillor
mejia
councillor
bach
councillor
flynn,
councillor
braden,
council
flaherty
for
attending
um
the
the
hearing
to
really
kind
of
again
direct
where
our
concerns
are.
I
also
wanted
to
just
use
this
moment
now
to
really
thank
chair
of
the
back
travis
watson,
who
came-
and
I
think,
gave
some
of
the
most
powerful
testimony
specifically
walking
us
through
the
history
how
we
got
to
where
we
are
and
where
we
still
need
to
go.
H
um
He
is
no,
he
is
leaving
his
his
position
as
the
chair
of
the
of
the
commission
and
uh
he
will
be
sorely
missed.
um
He
did
leave
us
all
with
a
message.
However,
uh
that
is
as
we
go
forward
as
a
sit
as
a
city
that
he
hopes
that
whoever
is
picked
to
replace
him,
that
it's
a
woman
that
is
a
woman
of
color
who's
committed
to
racial
equity
and
also
able
to
build
within
the
jobs
for
um
within
the
jobs
coalition.
H
F
F
H
Thank
you,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
co-sponsors
for
being
there
yesterday,
especially
the
lead
sponsor
and
who
was
able
to
help
conduct.
The
hearing
on
my
behalf,
unfortunately
had
a
conflict
and
couldn't
be
there.
That
being
said,
I
am
going
to
turn
it
shortly
over
to
uh
one
of
the
sponsors
counselor
bach,
but
and
in
short,
we're
going
to
keep
it
in
committee
to
continue
to
work
on
some
certain
issues,
but
we
hope
to
move
on
this
shortly.
F
P
uh
Yeah
I
want
to
thank
councillor
edwards.
um
Her
staff
was
instrumental
in
the
hearing
yesterday,
although
I
was
holding
the
gavel,
I
was
a
great
hearing.
Thank
you
so
much
to
the
colleagues
who
came
in
addition
to
yourself.
Mr
president,
um
counselors
mejia
arroyo
braden
um
flynn,
and
we
had
letters
from
council
roo
and,
of
course,
counselor
edwards.
um
It
was
very
productive.
We
had
dnd
and
the
bpda
and
btd
there.
P
We
had
some
technical
changes
to
the
amendment
language
that
had
come
from
the
dnd
feedback
at
the
last
twerking
session,
but
in
many
ways
the
focus
yesterday
was
on
the
hearing
element
and
really
had
very
powerful
testimony
from
the
folks,
particularly
members
of
mass
senior
action,
but
also
from
action
for
equity,
transit
matters,
livable
streets,
fenway,
cdc
and
a
number
of
members
of
the
public.
So
it
was
a
really
great
conversation.
P
We
have
a
couple
of
uh
outstanding
questions
and
the
vpa
is
checking
on
a
technical
thing
that
we've
listed
all
the
right
zoning
districts.
So,
as
the
chair
said,
I'm
looking
forward
to
partnering
with
her
to
having
this
out
on
the
floor
for
votes
soon,
but
um
but
not
today.
So
thank
you.
So
much
mr
brown.
F
F
H
We
have
to
continue
also
to
up
update
and
continue
to
move
in
the
city
of
boston
as
we're
looking
at
our
jobs
and
living
wage
ordinance.
So
this
is
really
just
making
sure
it's
expanded
to
all
contracts
and
subcontracts
our
prevailing
wage
standards.
This
was
not.
This
is
not
new
again.
This
was
introduced.
Actually,
um
it
was
filed
on
july
10,
2018
by
the
walsh
administration,
but
was
withdrawn,
and
then
the
jne
administration
did
an
executive
order
on
june
10th
of
2021
and
set
forth
a
prevailing
wage
for
custodial
and
security
wages
in
contract
services.
H
However,
as
an
executive
order
it
may
we
want
to
make
sure
that
it
is,
we
need
to
codify
it
to
make
sure
that
it
is
lasting
and
forever
and
continues.
So.
This
is
what
this
does.
This
is
a
codification
of
the
executive
order
and
of
the
originally
filed
ordinance
in
2018
to
make
sure
that
we
codify
living
wages
for
our
custodial
staff,
as
well
as
our
security
service
workers.
H
This
is,
I
want
to
thank
32,
bga,
seiu
32
bj
for
their
leadership
in
this
and
they're,
pushing
to
make
sure
that
we
remember
all
workers
and
we're
going
to
talk
about
city
wages,
so
this
is
exciting.
I
think
this
is
consistent.
It
is
not
at
all.
I
honestly
don't
think
it's
really
controversial,
it's
just
bringing
those
workers
into
the
same
standards
we
hold
for
everybody
else.
Thank
you.
F
O
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
to
councillor
edwards
for
adding
me
as
an
original
co-sponsor.
As
the
chair
of
the
committee
of
workforce
development,
it
is
crucial
that
we
expand
the
living
wage
ordinance
so
that
as
many
people
as
possible
have
strong
job
protections
in
place.
This
is
this
absolutely
needs
to
include
our
custodial
and
security
staff
members
contracted
and
subcontracted
throughout
the
city.
This
issue
is
personal
and
professional.
For
me,
as
many
you
know,
I
grew
up.
Cleaning
offices
across
the
city
with
my
mom
to
make
ends
meet
the
kinds
of
jobs.
O
We're
talking
about
in
this
ordinance
are
the
ones
that
are
often
taken
up
by
immigrants
and
undocumented
people
throughout
the
city
of
boston
people,
who
are
some
of
the
least
protected
by
our
system.
If
we
had
a
living
wage
and
prevailing
wage
ordinance
back
when
I
was
spending
my
nights
cleaning
offices,
I
would
probably
be
better
off
today.
O
We
are
incredibly
lucky
to
have
the
city
of
boston
to
have
so
many
advocates
pushing
for
us
to
redefine
what
a
living
wage
looks
like
the
boston
jobs
coalition
has
been
working
with
our
office
for
months
to
find
new
ways
to
expand
the
protections
offered
under
the
living
wage
ordinance.
They
are
continuing
the
work
of
the
late
chuck
turner,
whose
work
to
uplift
working-class
people
across
the
city
continues
to
inspire
me.
We
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
continue
his
work,
and
we
see
this
app
as
an
opportunity
to
do
just
that.
F
Thank
you,
counselor
mejia.
Would
anyone
else
wish
to
speak
on
docket
0143,
seeing
no
takers
when
any
counselors
wish
to
add
their
name?
As
a
co-sponsor?
Madam
clerk,
please
add
counselor
baker,
counselor
bach
counselor,
braden,
counselor,
campbell,
counselor,
sybee,
george
council
flaherty,
councillor
flynn,
you're
already
added
counselor
emilia,
please
add
the
chair,
please
add
counselor
wu
and
docket
1043
will
be
referred
to
the
committee
on
government
operations
now
like
to
invite
uh
councillor
braden
to
please
take
over
the
rostrum.
Q
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
um
Thank
you
for
councillor
o'malley
for
partnering
with
me
on
this
important
hearing.
Hearing
order,
counsel,
o'malley
and
mayor
janie
and
mayor
walsh,
just
finished
the
alberto
2.0
and
I
know
the
city
and
residents
are
better
off
for
that
that
strong
leadership.
Q
Q
The
biden
administration
has
proposed
eight
billion
dollars
in
infrastructure
improvements
for
electrical
electric
vehicle
charging
station
throughout
the
country.
Additionally,
they're
also
offering
a
12
000
tax
credit
for
people
that
buy
an
electric
vehicle.
That's
where
our
city
is
headed,
that's
where
our
our
country
is
headed
and
it's
a
tremendous
way
for
us
to
make
sure
that
our
cities
and
towns
and
communities
across
the
country
are
safe
and
healthy
for
all
residents.
Q
We
have
had
major
pollution
air
pollution
throughout
throughout
the
history
of
our
city,
in
my
neighborhood
in
south
boston.
Certainly,
the
boston
edison
has
been
a
major
major
polluter
in
the
in
the
city
and
in
the
region.
South
boston
had
the
highest
rate
of
lupus
scholar,
derma
in
other
types
of
cancers,
especially
impacting
woman.
Q
L
F
Perfect,
thank
you
very
much
obviously
want
to
begin
by
thanking
counselor
flynn,
councillor
flynn
and
his
team
did
all
the
work
going
into
this
resolution.
They
were
kind
enough
to
ask
me
to
partner-
um
and
I'm
just
incredibly
delighted
and
grateful
for
this
opportunity
because,
as
was
noted
in
the
president's
infrastructure
bill
which
I
am
very
hopeful
will
pass
and
will
pass
soon
we're
looking
at
close
to
eight
billion
dollars.
It's
going
to
go
down
to
our
cities
into
our
states
to
build
this
renewable
renewable
infrastructure.
F
Now,
I'm
old
enough
to
remember
when
you
couldn't
find
any
ev
charging
stations
and
then
I
think
three
showed
up
or
four
showed
up
on
cambridge
street
uh
and
it
was
a
godsend,
and
I-
and
I
know
I
know
at
least
a
quarter
of
this
body-
owns
and
drives
electric
vehicles.
um
It's
it's
what's
needed
and
we
need
to
encourage
opportunities
for
more
folks
to
buy
them.
F
What's
the
one
expression-
and
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
them-
that
I
I'm
like
a
broken
record
repeating,
but
every
fiscal
conservative
ought
to
be
an
environmentalist,
because
my
chevy
bolts
through
state
rebates,
cost
a
heck
of
a
lot
less
than
a
car
that
cost
a
lot
had
a
smaller
sticker
price.
Obviously
I
don't
pay
for
gas.
I
don't
pay
for
uh
a
lot
of
the
maintenance
and
wear
and
tear
and
electricity
because
of
community
choice.
F
Energy
is
actually
cheaper
in
boston
than
it
was
a
year
ago,
so
it
makes
financial
sense
to
invest
in
this.
It
is
obviously
important
to
protect
our
planet
to
invest
in
this,
and
this
is
great
leadership
that
I
know
councilor
flynn
and
many
of
you
will
be
continuing
in
the
next
year.
um
But
it's
really
important
that
the
city
has
this
conversation
now
and
works
with
the
next
administration
to
make
sure
that
we
can
access
those
funds
to
build
this
out.
F
The
number
one
uh
prohibition
for
an
individual
for
buying
electric
car
isn't
the
cost,
because
again,
there's
state
rebates
that
will
save
you
money
you're,
going
to
pay
a
lot
less
for
an
electric
car
now
than
you
would
for
a
similarly
priced
car
or
even
a
less
expensive,
less
a
more
expensive
car
you're
going
to
pay
less.
For.
I
think
I
may
have
got
that
wrong,
um
but
there's
also
sort
of
you
know.
Many
of
us
don't
have
an
opportunity
to
charge
our
cars
at
home.
F
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
uh
Thank
you
to
the
makers
for
this.
I
am
one
of
the
one
of
the
counselors
who
owns
an
electric
vehicle,
so
uh
I
was
not
necessarily
surprised
but
disappointed
that
there
isn't
an
electric
charging
station
in
all
of
high
park.
All
of
matapan,
I
don't
believe,
there's
any
in
roslindale
either,
but
I
might
be
wrong
on
that
one
uh
in
terms
of
increasing
the
existing
infrastructure.
B
That's
great,
and
I
love
that
we're
having
that
conversation,
one
of
the
things
I
hope
we
can
also
either
tie
on
to
this
conversation
or
have
a
further
conversation
on
is
we
have
a
school
bus
fleet
that
should
be
electrified.
That's
that's
a
possibility.
Now
they
make
electric
school
buses,
that's
something
that
should
be
done.
My
father
was
on
the
council
when
uh
he
was
pushing
vegetable
oil
vehicles,
uh
because
that
was
a
thing
and
you
know.
B
As
more
of
these
things
become
available,
and
we
have
this,
hopefully,
I
share
your
optimism
that
we
have
an
infrastructure
bill
that
we
can
use
specifically
for
this
purpose,
because
this
this
meets
many
many
goals
that
we
have
as
a
city
and
as
a
country.
So
thank
you
to
the
makers
for
doing
this,
and
hopefully
we
make
some
real
strides
on
this.
Thank
you.
R
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Please
add
my
name
as
well.
um
I
was
I'm
glad.
Counselor
royal
spoke
because
I
was
going
to
throw
him
under
the
electric
bus,
because
I
wanted
just
to
make
two
notes,
one
that,
in
addition
to
electrifying
our
vehicle
fleet,
we
have
to
think
about
all
the
infrastructure
impacts
in
terms
of
the
way
this
building
and
all
the
the
parking
and
storage
is
wired,
and
so
he
has
been
as
an
electric
vehicle
driver
as
well.
R
He
has
been
I've
been
trying
to
fend
off
his
entry
to
switch
spots
because
I've
won
near
the
plug
in
the
garage
downstairs,
and
the
other
point
that
I
just
want
to
make
sure,
if
possible,
for
the
sponsors
to
add
to
this
is
I'm
hearing
a
lot
from
tenants
in
larger
buildings
that,
as
new
buildings
are
being
built,
the
requirements
now
for
just
a
small
percentage
of
the
spots
to
have
capacity
for
charging
is
now
not
even
enough.
So
it's
time
to
update
those
as
well.
F
F
M
I
first
want
to
thank
tina
cherry
and
her
entire
team
at
the
peace
institute
for
the
work
they
do
every
single
day
to
respond
to
incidents
of
violence,
both
fatal
and
non-fatal
in
the
city
of
boston,
and
particularly
the
extra
step
they
go
to
make
sure
folks
who
are
currently
living
in
dangerous
situations
can
find
housing,
whether
in
boston
or
outside
the
city
of
boston.
They
work
have
worked
with
my
office.
M
I
think
everyone
on
the
council,
the
mayor's
office,
the
d.a
everyone
they
often
are
the
coordinator
in
trying
to
to
pull
us
all
together
to
find
folks
emergency
housing.
I
also
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
the
vyapp
team
at
bmc
and
other
organizations
that
do
this
work.
What
we
have
found
is
my
team,
and
I
are
often
in
these
conversations
doing
our
best
to
get
families
housed,
but
there's
no
process.
M
M
F
O
Thank
you,
mr
president,
and
thank
you
counselor
campbell.
um
If
I
am
lucky
enough
to
continue
to
be
here,
I
will
be
championing
this
work
forward.
I
think
it's
really
important
when
we
think
about
community
violence.
We
have
also,
through
our
office,
have
come
in
contact
with
folks
who
have
lost
their
loved
ones
right
in
front
of
their
homes
and
also
feel
traumatized
by
that.
So
some
of
it
is
housing
to
support
folks
who
are
afraid,
but
then
there's
also
the
family
that
seeks
refuge
so
that
they
don't
have
to
be
right.
O
There
at
home,
be
re-traumatized,
and
so
we
have
helped
several
families
throughout
this
year
find
temporary
spaces,
whether
it
be
through
working
our
networks
working
reaching
out
to
folks
who
have
homes
outside
of
the
city
of
boston,
to
help
find
places
for
people
to
go,
even
if
it's
just
for
a
short
term.
So
when
I
think
about
this
emergency
housing,
I
also
just
want
to
uplift
the
folks,
the
homicide
victims
who
are
left
to
feel
and
be
re-traumatized.
O
F
Q
Thank
you,
mr
president.
Mr
president,
could
you
please
add
my
name,
and
I
just
also
want
to
thank
council
campbell
for
the
important
work
that
she's
done
for
many
years
on
domestic
violence.
I
worked
closely
with
council
campbell
and
have
in
coordinating
a
hearing
at
northeastern
with
on
domestic
violence,
and
it
was
really
council
campbell
in
her
office
working
close
with
northeastern
university
domestic
violence
advocates
across
greater
boston
but
being
exposed
and
listening
to
people
that
were
victims
of
domestic
violence
um
and
services
that
are
available.
Q
um
You
know,
council
campbell,
really
provided
exceptional
leadership
on
this
issue,
especially
for
our
immigrant
communities
as
well.
So
that's
something
I
hope
um
I'm
going
to
continue
as
as
a
district
city
council,
but
I
just
I
just
want
to
thank
council
campbell
for
getting
me
exposed
to
that
to
that
issue
and
learning
a
lot
from
her.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
F
Thank
you,
councilman
flynn,
madam
clerk,
please
add
counselor
ed
flynn
as
a
co-sponsor.
Would
anyone
else
wish
to
speak
on
docket
0-1045,
seeing
no
takers
or
any
counselors
wish
to
add
their
name?
Madam
clerk,
please
add
counselor
arroyo,
councillor
baker,
councillor
bach
councillor,
braden,
counselor,
edwards,
counselor,
sybee,
george
councillor
flaherty,
councillor
mejia,
please
add
the
chair,
counselor
wu
and
dockett
1045
shall
be
referred
to
the
committee
on
housing
and
community
development.
F
M
I
have
to
give
a
big
shout
out
to
the
dorchester
food
co-op,
which
I
am
a
member,
and
I
think
others
on
this
body
are
as
well,
and
I
also
want
to
recognize
where
we
are
going,
I'm
going
to
seek
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
this
docket
to
declare
this
month
as
a
food
co-op
month.
I'd
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
acknowledge
that
this
is
also
domestic
violence
month.
M
Obviously,
various
months
show
up
around
particular
topics,
so
it'd
be
I'd,
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
mention
that,
particularly
given
what
counselor
flynn
just
said,
the
dorchester
food
co-op
has
over
a
thousand
member
owners,
and
I
want
to
thank,
of
course
not
only
my
colleagues
who
supported
those
efforts
over
the
years.
It
is
a
grassroots
effort
and
it
really
is
ahead
of
what
frankly,
the
city
should
be
talking
about
in
co-op
models.
M
These
are
locally
owned.
Businesses,
of
course,
run
by
people
who
come
together
to
achieve
shared
goals
and
to
really
build
community
ownership
and
and
to
help
a
community
thrive
around
particular
topics
but
owned
by
the
community
centered
in
the
community
and
always
foreign
by
the
people
and
as
the
dorchester
co-op
joins
members
of
the
neighboring
food
co-op
association
in
this
year's
co-op
month,
theme,
which
is
building
back
for
impact
or
build
back
for
impact.
M
M
Of
course,
they
provide
jobs,
economic
opportunity
rate
in
the
community
for
folks
who
live
in
those
communities,
and
so
this
is
a
step
into
in
a
direction
to
lift
up
their
work,
but
also
to
declare
this
month
as
co-op
month
in
the
city
of
boston
and
hopefully
begin
a
deeper
conversation
with
the
city
on
how
they
can
support
these
efforts,
similar
to
new
york,
city
and
other
places
that
are
actually
pouring
in
dollars
and
investments
into
these
efforts.
So
seeking
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
this
docket.
Thank
you.
F
P
Thank
you
so
much
councillor
o'malley,
um
and
I
want
to
thank
councillor
campbell
uh
for
introducing
this
today.
Please
add
my
name.
um
I
I
think
that
sometimes
you
know
these
resolutions
that
we
do
can
feel
just
symbolic,
but
I
think
that
actually
for
cooperatives,
which
are
like
so
critical
to
a
healthy
ecosystem
in
the
city
that
actually
you
know
keeps
money
in
our
local
communities
builds
community
wealth.
P
For
those
to
succeed,
they
actually
really
need
the
kind
of
recognition
that
this
resolution
brings
and
the
rest
the
recognition
that
these
are
the
types
of
businesses
that
we
should
be
preferentially
trying
to
work
with.
I
know
my
office
has
repeatedly
written
letters
of
recommendation
and
support
for
cooperative
businesses,
especially
with
the
large
university
and
hospital
employers
in
my
district,
and
I
think
that
it's
just
it's
one
of
those
things
that,
unfortunately,
the
kind
of
attitude
towards
cooperatives
as
being
bespoke
and
inherently
kind
of
a
small
corner
of
the
economy
limits
them.
P
And
there
are
other
places
in
the
world
where
they've
taken
on
a
much
larger
share
of
market
and
of
the
sort
of
like
economic
democracy
space,
including
in
spain.
And
so
I
just
think.
I
think
this
is
really
important,
and
I
also
just
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
dnd
for
all
the
work
they've
done
are
on
the
housing
cooperative
side,
which
obviously
we
sometimes
talk
about
a
little
bit
differently
from
business
cooperatives.
But
it
is
that
same
idea
of
of
sort
of
economic
democracy
together
and
the
the
new
share
loan
fund.
P
That
d
d
has
just
inked
to
help
people
who
don't
have
as
much
means
buy
into
a
cooperative
and
have
that
housing
stability
and
the
new
module
that
they're
teaching
in
the
homeownership
class.
On
that.
I
think
is
another
piece
of
the
city
recognizing
co-ops
and
their
importance
to
the
fabric,
so
I
just
want
to
commend
them
for
that
and
thank
counselor
campbell
for
leadership,
and
please
add
my
name.
F
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
clerk.
Please
add
counselor
kenzie
bach

doc
at

One
excuse

councillor

councilor

F

of

one
zero?
Four,
eight,
all
those
in
favor,
please
indicate
by
saying
aye
opposed,
nay
the
eyes
have
it.
The
docket
has
passed.
We
are
now
moving
on
to
late
files,
I'm
informed
by
the
clerk
that
there
are
four
late
file
matters.
uh
Three
of
them
are
personnel
orders
and
one
is
a
resolution
from
counselor
mejia.
So
all
those
in
favor
of
adding
the
four
late
file
matters
into
the
agenda,
please
indicate
by
saying
aye
opposed
nay
the
eyes
have
it.
F
F
F
F
Seeks
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
the
third
late
file
personnel
order?
All
those
in
favor,
please
indicate
by
saying
aye
opposed,
nay,
the
guys
have
it.
The
order
has
passed
now.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
please
read
the
first
and
last
uh
clause
of
the
fourth
plate
file
matter?
Oh
there's
one
more!
Oh,
I
do
apologize.
I'm
sorry!
I
think
I
had
that
wrong.
There
are.
This
is
the
fourth
the
personnel
order.
F
Madam
clerk,
is
that
correct
and
then
there
will
be
a
resolution,
so
I
misspoke,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
if
you
want
to
object,
you
can,
but
I
should
have
said
there
are
five
total
blade
files
for
our
personnel
one
as
a
resolution
from
counselor
mejia
is
everyone,
and
everyone's
good
with
that?
We've
just
gone
through
the
first
three
personnel
orders,
so
this
is
the
fourth
laid
file
personnel
order.
Madam
clerk,
please
proceed.
F
Chair
seeks
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
the
fourth
late
file
personnel
order.
All
those
in
favor,
please
indicate
by
saying
aye
opposed,
nay
the
eyes
have
it
the
fourth
late
file
personnel
order
has
passed.
So
we
are,
we've
dispensed
with
personnel
orders,
madam
clark
correct,
and
we
are
now
moving
on
to
the
resolution
that
is
probably
before
us.
Would
you
please
read
the
first
and
last
clause
of
the
fifth
late
file
matter,
which
is
a
resolution.
G
Public
schools,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
boston
city
council
receives
its
strong
opposition
voices,
its
strong
opposition
to
the
possibility
of
state
receivership
of
boston,
public
schools
and
be.
It
therefore
resolved
that
the
boston
city
council
continues
to
work
with
boston,
public
schools,
the
boston
school
committee,
boston
teachers,
union
and
boston
education,
justice
alliance
and
others
to
ensure
that
our
students
are
on
the
pathway
to
success
filed
in
council
october
6,
2021.
F
O
O
It
is
clear
from
this
data
that
a
state
receivership
is
not
the
answer
to
bps's
problem
and,
while
we're
not,
and
while
we're
not
where
we
need
to
be,
we
are
better
off
with
local
solutions
by
centering
the
voices
of
the
people
who
are
closest
to
this
issues:
educators,
students
and
parents,
as
opposed
to
the
state.
We
stand
a
much
better
chance
of
working
towards
academic
equity.
O
For
those
reasons,
I'm
really
pushing
that
we
move
um
to
suspend
the
rules
and
pass
this
resolution,
and
you
know
I
I
think
what
I
find
often
times
is
that
we
always
place
blame
on
teachers
and
parents
and
even
students,
but
what
we
fail
to
do
is
put
the
blame
where
it
belongs
and
oftentimes
that's
the
system.
The
system
is
what
is
failing.
O
F
M
um
Thank
you,
and-
and
I
do
want
to
applaud
uh
council
mejia
for
the
for
the
resolution,
because
I
in
the
past
have
gone
on
record.
Saying
that
I
don't
think
state
receivership
is
is
the
way
to
go,
but
where
I
do
agree
with
you
is
that
we
can't
blame
the
teachers.
We
can't
blame
the
families,
we
can't
blame
the
parents,
we
can
blame
the
state,
I
think
for
many
things,
but
we
absolutely
need
to
blame
bps.
We
absolutely
need
to
blame
the
district.
We
absolutely
need
to
blame
elected
officials.
M
We
need
to
blame
various
facets
of
this
local
system
that
continue
to
fail
not
only
students
and
parents,
but
teachers
and
principals
and
others
who
work
within
the
system
as
well,
and
I
agree,
we've
made
some
some
progress
and
I
always
want
to
give
credit
where
credit's
due
there
are
folks
within
bps,
including
the
district
at
the
school
level.
My
uh
four-year-old
just
started
at
the
kinney
school
they're.
Doing
amazing
work
there
on
the
ground
with
incredible
leadership.
M
So
clearly,
there
are
folks
in
within
the
system
that
are
making
improvements
in
making
progress,
but
I
want
to
be
clear
that
this
district
is
failing
still
so
many
in
many
of
the
inequities
within
boston.
Public
schools
have
actually
gotten
worse,
not
better
and
probably
worse.
Since
many
of
us
were
some
of
us
were
students
within
bps.
M
I
often
recite
living
in
matapan.
The
families
have
a
five
percent
chance
of
getting
into
a
high
quality
boston
public
school
compared
to
some
other
neighborhoods
in
downtown
particular
80
percent
is
their
access
rate.
Nothing.
The
district
has
done,
has
changed
that
over
the
years
you
look
at
the
literacy
rates
at
younger
grade
levels.
They
are
still
abysmal
in
many
ways,
particularly
for
our
latinx
and
black
students.
M
You
look
at
the
high
school
graduation
rates.
Six
out
of
ten
students
for
non-exam
high
schools
will
graduate.
That
is
ridiculous.
When
you
think
about
all
the
resources
and
everything
we
have
that
we
could
bring
to
bear
to
change
those
graduation
outcomes
and
the
mou
there
is
still
very
little
evidence
from
the
superintendent
from
the
district
that
is
being
produced
publicly.
M
That
actually
shows
that
they're
meeting
those
benchmarks,
including
around
facilities,
including
not
just
around
facilities
but
also
around
buses,
and
if
you
talk
to
my
parents,
for
example,
at
the
sarah
greenwood
school,
they
would
probably
say
we
want
a
whole
bunch
of
people
to
take
over
this
district
because
they
have
repeatedly
been
on
email
chains
day
after
day.
Many
are
just
have
thrown
up
their
hands,
pushing
for
better
infrastructure
for
that
school,
a
swing
space
and
what
they
get
repeatedly
from.
M
The
district
is
cancellations
of
the
tours
cancellations
of
the
meetings
in
which
the
district
says
we're
going
to
show
up
and
meet
you
where
you
are
and
actually
provide
some
solutions.
These
parents
are
black
and
brown,
they
work
really
hard
they're
taking
time
out
of
their
busy
schedules
to
advocate,
and
their
advocacy
is
going
absolutely
nowhere,
and
so
I
do
want
to
lift
up
all
of
those
concerns
which
we
know
hold
back,
not
just
black
and
brown
students,
but
every
student
we
lost
2
000
families
within
bps
the
sharpest
decline
in
the
last
15
years.
F
C
You,
mr
chair,
um
I
do
not
wish
to
add
my
name
if
this
were
in
order
for
a
hearing
where
we
could
have
a
discussion
on
what
receivership
means.
I
would
definitely
add
my
name
because
I'm
not
similar
to
council
campbell's
comments.
My
children
started
in
10
years
ago,
and
I
watched
bps
in
the
last
10
years.
Steadily
go
down
the
school
that
they
were
in
was
a
high
performing
school.
I
don't
say
that
with
confidence
today,
that
the
same
school
that
they
were
in
the
first
grade
is
a
high
performing
school.
C
Here
today
the
the
author
talked
about
the
state
needing
to
take
responsibility.
This
is
what
they're
trying
to
do.
Take
the
schools
over,
so
they
can
take
responsibility.
Can't
agree
enough
over
here.
With
with
the
blame,
is
on
the
bureaucrats.
The
blame
is
on
the
school
committee
and
top
down
the
fish
rots
from
the
head
down.
Mr
president,
again
I
think
we
should
have
a
discussion
about
receivership
and
see
where
we
are
with
received
receivership.
C
One
thing
that
I
think
that
we
could
absolutely
change.
If
the
schools
did
go
to
receive
a
ship,
we
could
get
rid
of
the
busing
contract
and
do
that
differently.
We
cannot
will
not
ever
be
able
to
even
get
into
that
contract
unless
the
school
goes
into
receivership.
How
much
is
it
this
year,
125
million?
When
I
started
it
was
about
85
million,
so
that's
5
million
a
year
whatever,
whatever
the
numbers
are,
we're
throwing
bad
money
after
bad
money
with
just
the
busing
I
went
through
the
devil
school
I
started.
C
My
illustrious
school
first
year
of
busing
was
bussed
over
the
depth
over
to
the
devil
school
and
and
what
happened
over.
There
was
bad
because
when
it
went
into
receivership
they
were
actually
doing
really
really
good
work
over
there
and
the
state
did
not
give
the
school
enough
time
to
turn
around.
It
was
a
three-year
turnaround
and
they
were
absolutely
turning
that
boat
around,
but
they
didn't
give
them
enough
time.
So
again,
I
don't
want
to
oppose
receive
receivership.
I
want
information
on
receivership.
C
What
does
it
look
like
so
again?
If
this
were
order
for
a
hearing-
and
we
were
having
a
real
discussion
here,
so
we
could
all
throw
opposing
views
in
not
all
the
same
view,
and
everybody
says
yes,
I'm
on
board,
I'm
not
on
board
for
opposing
receivership,
because
I
think
we
might,
we
probably
should
go
into
receivership.
Another
thing
we
might
be
able
to
do
is-
and
I
think
should
happen-
mayoral
candidates,
please
listen
up.
We
should
we
should
take
um
hold
on
draw
blank
there
madison
park
and
let
madison
park
become
their
own.
C
District,
so
they
would
have
a
suffolk
county
suffolk
county
training
school
like
they
do
like
they
do
at
blue
hill,
like
they
do
in
worcester.
Let
them
make
their
their
own
choices
out
of
there
away
from
the
disaster
that
it
is,
that
is
the
school
department,
not
teachers,
not
parents,
not
the
people
that
are
in
the
schools
working,
because
we
all
know
they're
all
pretty
hard
working
and
they
want
the
best
by
their
children.
I
think
the
failure
is
at
the
top.
Thank
you.
F
N
You,
mr
president,
the
previous
two
speakers
made
some
great
points
through
the
chair
to
the
maker.
Would
the
maker
consider
having
a
public
hearing
to
get
to
the
sort
of
the
crux
of
all
the
issues
what
schools
are
performing
well,
which
ones
are
not?
What
does
receivership
mean
at
the
end
of
the
day
that
flashlight
has
been
shown
on
bps
and
it's
about
time.
N
We
get
the
superintendent
in
here
to
do
some
explaining
as
to
why
these
schools
are
chronically
underperforming,
particularly
the
ones
that
are
under
her
watch
so
again
through
the
chair
to
the
maker.
I
think
would
be
great.
It's
a
great
suggestion
by
the
previous
speaker.
uh
Why
just
sort
of
pass
it
off
as
a
resolution.
Let's
have,
let's
have
a
hearing
and
let's
bring
everybody
in
and
let's
get
to
the
bottom
of
this
issue.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
we
have
a
responsibility,
particularly
parents.
Your
primary
responsibility
is
the
education
of
your
children.
N
F
You,
council,
flaherty,
so
uh
councilman
here
you
heard
the
query
from
counselor
flaherty.
I
I
think
the
option
the
question
is:
would
you
have
a
hearing
the
other
opportunity?
If
that's
what
you're
interested
is
you
could
just
not
move
for
suspension
of
the
rules?
This
would
be
referred
to
committee
and
we
would
have
a
hearing,
but
I
wanted
to
give
you
an
opportunity
to
answer
that
question
for.
O
F
O
O
I've
been
here
for
almost
19
months
and
one
of
the
biggest
lessons
that
I've
learned
is
the
importance
of
relationships
and
identifying
compromises
and
figuring
out.
What's
the
best
way
to
move
forward
and
often
recognizing
that,
sometimes
we
need
to
get
out
of
our
own
way.
For
that
work
to
happen,
and
I
think
I
am
so
incredibly
grateful
for
the
feedback
that
we
received
right
now
and
I
do
agree.
I
think
that
the
conversation
needs
to
happen.
It
needs
to
be
a
public
hearing.
O
We
need
to
bring
everybody
to
the
table
and
we
need
to
unpack
this
because,
like
you
counsel
campbell,
I
went
to
boston,
public
schools
and
I
now
am
a
parent,
a
bps
parent
and
there's
a
lot
of
work.
That
needs
to
be
done
here
and
we
have
to
address
what
that
is
and
what
it's
going
to
take
in
terms
of
the
political
will
to
ensure
that
our
students
have
the
type
of
quality
education
that
we've
been
allegingly
fighting
for.
O
O
P
F
I
could
just
assign
this
to
the
education
committee,
so
that
means
you
wouldn't
suspend
rules
and
we
wouldn't
take
action.
That
would
give
an
opportunity
for
everyone
to
speak
on
and
add
their
name
if
they
wished
and
then
the
hearing
would
be
um
on
the
resolution
itself.
So
that's
probably
the
cleanest
way.
If
that's
good
with
you,
I'm.
F
F
So,
thank
you.
So
I
just
heard
council
flaherty
say:
please
add
his
counselor
flaherty's
name.
To
that.
Please
add
counselor
edward
I'm
going
to
start
in
alphabetical
order.
Please
add
counselor
arroyo,
please
add
counselor

please
add
counselor

b,
george
councillor
flaherty
counselor
flynn.
F
We
don't
need
to
add
you
constantly
here.
We
already
got
you
there.
Please
add
the
chair,
please
add
counselor
wu
and
the
uh
fifth
late
file
matter,
which
is
the
resolution
on
receivership,
will
be
referred
to
the
committee
on
education.
So
thank
you.
uh
Thank
you
all.
That
was
a
good
good
discussion
on
that.
um
Would
anybody
now
wish
to
remove
an
item?
Oh
before
I
move
to
the
green
sheets
uh
council
royal.
For
what
reason
does
the
gentleman
stand?
uh
Just
a.
F
K
F
Thank
you
we're
now
moving
on
to
the
green
sheets.
Anybody
wishing
to
remove
a
matter
from
the
green
sheets
may
do
so
at
this
time.
Seeing
no
takers
we're
now
moving
on
to
the
consent
agenda.
We've
I've
been
informed
by
the
clerk
that
we
have
one
late
file
to
the
consent
agenda,
which
is
a
resolution
from
councillor
bach.
um
Anyone
object
to
adding
counselor
box
late
file
to
the
consent
agenda.
Please
indicate,
or
is
all
in
favor
of
adding
counselor
box
late
file
uh
to
be
a
consent
agenda.
F
F
S
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
president,
I
rise
today
as
it
happens
on
occasion
that
a
birthday
lands
on
uh
council
meeting
day,
so
I'd
like
to
wish
douglas
a
very
happy,
it's
horrifying
to
even
say
it
out
loud,
17th
birthday,
but
happy
birthday
douglas
or,
as
your
friends
like
to
call
you
dougie
um
on
your
17th
birthday.
Thank

mr

Happy.
F
P

The

to
add
that

is
the
2021
henry
l
shattuck
public
service
awards

in
pre-covet
times
we

typically
hold
an
event.

really
one

my
favorite
meetings
of
the
year
so
for
you
uh
freshmen
I
I
hopefully
will
get
back

we'd
have
all
the
shattuck
awardees
with
a
little
reception
before
the
council
meeting.
F
um
It
is
obviously
for
safety
reasons
being
held
virtually,
but
I
did
want
to
take
a
moment
to
congratulate
our
public
service
leaders
who
have
gone
above
and
beyond,
to
serve
this
city
exceptionally
well,
particularly
during
this
incredibly
difficult
time,
and
I
want
to
begin
by
congratulating
the
senior
administrative
assistant
at
the
clerk's
office,
our
own
trish
finnegan.
Congratulations,
trish,.

deserved,
