welcome

E
To
Mohammed,
thank
you,
Bismillah.
In
the
name
of
Allah,
the
beneficent
the
merciful,
I've
been
witness
to
the
Oneness
of
God
and
to
the
Oneness
of
his
prophetic
Community
I.
Thank
him
for
my
leading
teacher,
The
Honorable,
Minister,
Louis
Farrakhan
and
their
names.
I
agreed
this
Argus
body
assalamu
they
come
for.
Those
who
are
unfamiliar,
simply
means
peace,
be
unto
you
city,
council,
Brian
world.
Thank
you
for
providing
me
the
opportunity
to
come
before
this
this
body.
E
Our
city
is
a
great
City
one
of
the
greatest
cities
in
the
country
and
hence
one
of
the
greatest
cities
in
the
world.
We
have
a
lot
of
opportunity.
Let's
make
sure
that
the
opportunities
that
come
our
way
reach
all
of
our
people.
Currently,
my
concern,
which
should
be
all
of
our
concern,
is
the
violence
that
took
place
yesterday
at
one
of
our
high
schools,
the
Jeremiah
e
Burke.
There
was
a
shooting
that
took
place.
E
These
are
the
things
that
we
must
come
together
as
a
city
to
address
the
root
cause
of
the
violence,
and
it's
something
that
we
must
work
collaboratively.
We
all
have
our
responsibility.
It
is
not
just
law
enforcement.
It
is
legislators,
and
it's
also
the
common
citizens.
We
must
work
together
to
solve
these
problems.
So
with
that
I
open
and
offer
this
prayer,
we
pray
in
Islam.
When
we
do
it
do
all,
we
spread
out
our
hands
as
we're
receiving
a
gift
but
pray
in
the
position.
E
We
beseech
your
Aid
and
we
ask
for
your
mercy
for
we
believe
in
you
and
trust
in
you
for
all
that
we
need.
Surely
we
are
helpers
in
thine
cause,
but
all
of
your
prophets,
Messengers
and
apostles,
please
Grant
to
us
success
bless
our
city
bless.
Our
mayor
bless
our
city.
Councilors
bless.
These
Chambers
bless
those
that
are
doing
the
people's
work
guide,
their
hearts,
their
passion
that
they
may
do
the
work.
That
is
in
the
best
interest
of
all
people,
not
negating
the
least
fortunate
or
the
marginalized.
E
A
A
We
also
wanted
to
let
you
know.
We
have
great
respect
for
Minister
Dawn
as
well:
we've
known
Minister
Dawn
for
40
years
and
during
difficult
times
in
the
city
of
Boston,
the
Nation
of
Islam
and
in
Minister
Dawn,
we're
always
there
for
the
residents
on
public
safety
issues
in
Economic
Development
issues
as
well
that
Supermarket
shopping
shopping
mart
area
was
the
result
of
the
leadership
of
the
Nation
of
Islam
and
Minister
Dawn,
building
strong
and
neighborhoods.
So
please
let
Minister
Dawn

This

the

will

Currently,
the

000
and
members
of
the
city
council
is
half
of
that
at
103
500..
This
proposal
would
increase
the
salary
of
the
city
counselors
to
115
000,
and
it
would
include
increase
the
salary
of
the

H
We
held
a
hearing
on
this
proposed
ordinance
and
the
committee
on
government
operations
review
the
provisions
of
the
proposal
and
the
current
applicable
laws
that
govern
the
mechanism
for
salary.
For
the
mayor
and
the
city
council.
The
applicable
laws
are
the
city,
Charter
and
State
Law
chapter
39,
Section
3,
section
6A,
which
provide
that
the
mayor
shall
be
paid.
An
annual
salary
that
is
fixed
by
ordinance.
H
The
following
individuals
represented
the
administration
at
the
hearing
that
we
had
Chief
Alex
Lawrence
people
officer,
yusufi,
Valley,
Deputy,
Chief
of
Staff
from
the
mayor's
office,
John
Tobin,
chair
of
the
compensation,
Advisory
board
or
cab,
which
you'll
hear
me
refer
to,
and
John
Joanne
with
sneski
Joanne,
I
hope
I
got
that
pronunciation
right,
Chief,
Human,
Resources
officer
and
HR
transformation
leads.
All
I
was
also
joined
by
my
colleagues,
counselors
Bach
Braden
Coletta,
Fernandez,
Anderson,
Flaherty,
Lara,
Mejia,
Murphy
and
Laurel
I.
Think
I
got
everyone
Chad
Tobin
explained
chair
Tobin.
H
Is
the
chair
of
the
of
cab
explained
that
the
city
commission,
Deloitte
to
study
compensation
for
appointed
positions
and
other
high-level
non-ordinance
positions?
Deloitte
issued
a
report
with
recommendations
and
cab
approved
the
recommendations.
The
report
recommended
salary
range
adjustments
of
15
to
30
percent
for
select
ordinance
titles.
The
cab
also
recommended
increasing
the
salary
of
the
mayor
in
the
city
council
by
11,
based
upon
cost
of
living
adjustments.
H
Since
2018.,
no
other
factors
were
considered
in
the
recommended
salary
for
the
mayor
and
City
Council
in
the
report
produced
by
Deloitte,
even
though
under
cab
there's
a
requirement
to
analyze
and
study
salary
increases
and
not
just
do
a
cost
of
living.
Adjustment
Administration
officials
explain
the
methodologies
that
were
used
in
examining
the
salary
ranges
for
the
appointed
positions.
The
City
compared
Boston's
current
pay
rate
pay
ranges
and
actual
base
salaries
for
fiscal
year,
2021
and
2022
to
other
comparable
positions
among
public
at
their
employees.
Around
the
country.
H
The
city
completed
a
Personnel
conversation
study
using
salary
survey
and
Analysis
and
comparable
locality
analysis
based
upon
straight
compensation
and
based
upon
these
findings.
Again,
the
range
was
15
to
30
percent,
the
committee
inquired
about
the
compensation
review
for
the
mayor
and
city
council
and
the
method
and
the
methodical
methodology
and
benchmarks
that
were
used.
The
committee
asked
if
there
was
an
analysis
of
city
council
and
mayor
compensation
with
CDs
comparable
to
Boston
Council
Louisiana
myself
presented
reports
that
contained
data
which
compared
Nationwide
counselor
compensation
with
cost
of
living
in
comparable
cities.
H
This
was
an
important
exercise
because
we
felt,
like
analysis
was
important,
so
it's
and
it's
it's
research
that
my
office
undertook
and
based
upon
these
reports,
the
salary
for
City
Council
in
Boston
should
be
higher
than
the
recommendation.
Former
city
councilor
Tito
Jackson,
also
offered
testimony
former
counselor
Jackson
stated
that
salary
should
be
studied
across
the
board
for
both
bargain
for
positions,
non-union,
non-union
positions
and
elected
officials.
He
referred
to
a
2016
Pew
Research
Center
study
that
examined
salaries
of
elected
officials.
H
H
Their
city
council
has
paid
141
thousand
dollars
approximately
for
Seattle,
with
a
population
of
just
over
700
000,
where
the
average
rent
is
two
thousand
eight
hundred
and
ten
dollars.
The
city
council
has
paid
136
thousand
and
Minneapolis
they're
paid
the
same
as
Boston
city
council
at
103
500,
but
the
average
for
a
two
bedroom
is
half
of
that
of
Boston,
that
is
at
1
720
and
just
for
the
record
city
of
Boston,
an
average
two
bedroom
is
3
360
dollars
doc.
So
we
proposed
amendments
to
this
docket
docket
number,
zero.
Nine.
H
Twenty
is
amended
in
section
two.
By
striking
the
words
one
hundred
fifteen
thousand
dollars
and
replacing
it
with
the
words
one
hundred
twenty
five
thousand
dollars,
docket
number
zero.
Nine
two
zero
is
amended
in
section
one
by
striking
the
words
230
000
and
replacing
it
with
the
words
two
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars.
Increasing
the
salary
ranges
for
certain
appointed
positions
will
ensure
that
the
city
has
competitive
benefits,
to
attract
and
retain
the
most
talented
and
diverse
employees,
while
recognizing
the
cost
of
living
the
city
and
what
comparable
positions
make
in
the
in
the
public
sector.
H
The
recommendations
for
the
city
council
again
we're
initially
solely
based
on
the
cost
of
living,
and
there
was
no
comparable
compensation
reviews
for
the
city
council
with
peer
cities
and
salary
recommendations
should
be
data
driven,
which
is
again
where
my
office
undertook
that
data
intensive
process
of
seeing
what
other
cities
were
doing
based
upon
reports
that
were
presented
at
the
hearing
that
analyzed
Nationwide
counselor
compensation
I
make
these
recommendations
and
I
I
will
follow.
What
what
usually
happens.
H
The
mayor's
salary
will
be
double
of
that
at
250,
000
and
so
I
recommend
that
this
docket
pass.
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that,
in
conversation
that
we've
had
and
in
the
hearing
everyone
expressed
all
of
my
colleagues
expressed
how
we
support
increasing
the
base
wage
of
all
of
our
Municipal
Employees,
especially
our
lowest
paid
employees.
H
That's
shared
by
many
of
us
here
on
the
city
council
and
a
lot
of
our
parents,
and
so
while
we,
while
we
talk
about
appointed
positions
and
about
our
salaries,
we
stand
in
solidarity
with
everyone
in
the
city
of
Boston,
especially
who
are
city
of
Boston
employees
who
are
required
to
live
here.
We
really
support
increasing
their
base
wages,
while
whatever
the
process
may
be,
whether
it's
through
collective
bargaining
or
whatever
processes.
We
hope
that
the
administration
will
will
will
take
note
of
the
fact
that
they're
solidarity
here
on
the
Boston
city
council.
H
Second
point
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
the
increase
in
salaries
is
just
to
bring
us
up
to
par
with
our
peer
cities
across
the
country
and
that
third,
even
though
there's
some
debate
as
to
whether,
when
this
could
under
the
law,
take
effect
just
out
of
an
abundance
of
caution
and
to
make
sure
that
we
do
this,
the
right
way,
this
is
going
to
go.
H
This
wouldn't
go
into
effect
until
January
2024
until
everyone
here
has
undergone
a
re-election
if
they
so
choose,
and
so
this
would
not
affect
current
city
council
or
mayor's
salaries.
It
would
go
into
effect
after
the
next
election
cycle
for
both
us
and
the
mayor,
and
so
thank
you.
I
recommend
the
share
of
government
operations.
I
recommend
that
this
docket
ought
to
pass
as
amended.
Thank
you,
president.
Flynn.
A
A
As
we
know,
with
a
significant
increase
cost
of
living.
The
Boston
compensation
Advisory
board
has
conducted
an
extensive
analysis
of
these
salaries
for
elected
officials
for
cabinet
Chiefs
in
comparison
to
to
other
cities.
This
is
an
effort
to
retain
and
attract
talented
employees
in
what
is
an
extremely
competitive
job
market.

Yes,

H
You
sorry
rice
to
talk
about
something
very
different.
H
I
write
to
talk
about
honeybees
today
and
I
want
to
first
say
thank
you
to
residents
in
Hyde,
Park,
Val,
Jim
and
Sheila,
who
really
brought
this
to
my
attention
and
working
alongside
state
representative
Rob
consalvo
about
how
complex
unnecessarily
complex
our
zoning
code
is
so
I
wanna
not
only
give
a
shout
out
to
Val,
but
I
also
want
to
show
the
honey
that
she
gave
me
as
a
result
of
her
beekeeping
and
if
all
of
my
counselor
colleagues
will
look
under
your
desk,
there's
some
honey
for
you
too.
C
J
H
Honey
and
you
next
time
next
time
we
can
all
share
this,
put
it
in
your
teeth.
Okay,
but
it's
really
great
honey
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
folks
know
that
there
are
people
and
institutions
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
that
are
beekeeping,
and
we
need
to
make
it
easier
for
them
to
do
that.
So
Val
is
an
incredible
woman
who
lives
in
Hyde
Park,
an
incredible
black
woman
who
comes
from
a
long
tradition
of
of
family
who
are
beekeepers
stemming
all
the
way
back
to
South
Africa.
H
She
has
a
really
great
story
that,
hopefully
you
all
will
hear
soon,
but
our
zoning
code
makes
it
really
incredibly
difficult
for
people
to
know
what
the
rules
are
when
it
comes
to
following
on
how
they
can
legally
and
permissibly
keep
bees
in
the
city.
So
honeybees
play
a
critical
role
in
our
food
system.
They
pollinate
over
85
different
crops
and
contribute
to
35
of
the
global
food
production.
Honeybees
contribute
to
the
greater
biodiversity
within
Urban
cities
like
Boston,
by
supporting
and
strengthening
plant
and
tree
growth
through
pollination.
H
Many
residents
in
Boston
and
businesses
in
Boston
are
already
hosting
beehives
on
their
rooftops
and
backyards
as
local
interests
in
beekeeping
increase
during
the
pandemic,
I
went
out
to
some
of
the
beekeeping,
some
of
the
some
of
our
residents,
who
beekeep
and
got
to
put
on
the
gear
and
really
experience
what
it
takes
to
be.
Keep
and
the
incredi
the
incredible
Dedication
that
our
beekeepers
have
to
not
only
themselves
and
their
interest
in
beekeeping,
but
really,
as
I,
said,
how
they
contribute
to
our
environment.
Bees
have
been
rapidly
and
mysteriously
disappearing
from
rural
areas.
H
I
mean
this
has
Brave
implications
on
our
agriculture,
but
we
seem
to
flourish
in
environments
like
Boston,
and
new
studies
suggests
that
Urban
beekeeping
might
play
a
role
in
supporting
both
the
city
and
species
whereby
City
environments
can
provide
alternative
spaces
for
honeybees
to
maintain
healthy
habitats
as
they
have
access
access
to
protected
areas.
So
why?
Why
is
this
in
zoning
at
all?
That
is
essentially
the
question
that
we
had
because
early
on
the
process
of
trying
to
create
this
ordinance,
we
explored
different
ways
to
make
it
easier
to
keep
these
in
Boston.
H
But
due
to
the
unwieldy
and
ponderous
nature
of
the
zoning
code,
every
fix
unintentionally
had
a
ripple
effect
that
we
didn't
intend.
And
so
my
office
has
been
working
on
this.
For
quite
some
time,
and
after
a
lot
of
back
and
forth
with
the
bpda,
we
found
that
even
if
we
changed
all
of
Boston
from
it
being
a
forbidden
use,
because
right
now,
beekeeping
under
the
code
is
forbidden
in
most
of
this
city,
with
some
pockets
of
areas
where
there's
conditional
use
and
some
Pockets,
where
it's
allowable.
H
But
they
would
still
have
to
go
before
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
for
Relief
if
they
wanted
to
change
it
for
their
neighborhood
for
to
conditional
or
allowable,
and
we
felt
that
this
was
still
too
high
of
a
bar
for
our
residents.
H
And
if
we
change
the
zoning
to
allow
beekeeping
as
a
right,
then
there
wasn't
much
use
for
it
to
be
in
the
zoning
code
at
all.
So
coming
to
that
conclusion,
what
we've
done
here
is
a
text
Amendment
to
the
zoning
code
to
take
beekeeping
out
of
zoning
and
put
it
into
the
municipal
into
a
municipal
ordinance
with
the
same
requirements
of
height
distance
from
the
street
number
of
hives
that
you
can
keep
under
this
you'll
be
able
residents
can
keep
up
to
three
hives
pursuant
as
long
as
they
follow.
H
The
other
requirements
and
it
we
thought
it
would
be
best
controlled
by
either
animal
control
or
ISD,
but
we're
also
open
to
having
this
conversation
to
all
to
see
what's
best
on
the
city
level.
So
moving
from
the
zoning
code
to
Municipal
Code
will
require
a
bifurcated
process
where
we
first
take
it
out
of
zoning,
and
so
we're
gonna
have
a
hearing
on
that,
but
will
also
require
us
to
in
the
zoning
commission
for
a
text
Amendment.
The
regulations
we
propose
in
the
ordinance
are
the
same.
H
I
think
I
just
said
this
are,
as
those
in
article
89
setbacks,
distance
from
Neighbors
and
windows,
and
so,
if
anybody
needed
a
particular
exemption,
this
would
be
easier
because
either
animal
control
or
ISD
could
give
them
an
exception.
For
example,
of
number
of
high
number
of
hives
are
set
back
from
the
street,
and
so
this
is
just
creating
a
new
Pathway
to
keeping
bees.
That
would
be
clear
and
simplified
for
the
average
beekeeper
in
the
city.
People
want
to
comply
and
it's
just
been
too
hard.
H
So
this
is
basically
trying
to
make
it
easier
for
folks
to
comply
with
the
law,
and
we
know
that
there
are
so
many
problems
with
those
zoning
codes.
So
this
is
just
one
fix
that
we're
trying
to
make
based
on
constituents
coming
to
our
office
and
seeing
how
we
can
work
together.
So
thank
you
and
I'll
have
honey
for
you
all
next
time.
A
K
Foil,
thank
you.
Councilor
Flynn
I
want
to
thank
councilor
Louis
Jen
for
her
service
in
bringing
this
forward
and
all
of
her
hard
work
and
bring
this
forward.
She
made
many
of
the
key
points,
so
I
won't
be
labor
those
points,
but
I
will
just
say
that
I'm
grateful
to
those
in
my
district
who
are
doing
this
work.
K
The
bee
population,
if
you
just
Google
bee
population
you're,
going
to
find
a
number
of
alarming
articles
on
this
I,
actually
am
a
huge
connoisseur
of
honey
for
a
long
time,
and
so
I've
been
aware
of
the
declining
population
that
has
had
real
impacts
on
environment
as
well
as
supply
and
demand
and
other
sort
of
adjacent
impacts
on
our
food
supply
in
the
country
as
a
whole,
and
so
for
the
folks
that
are
sort
of
pushing
back
on
that
by
doing
their
part
individually,
to
create
more
resilient
bees
and
to
keep
bees.
K
I
think
that's
fantastic
and
putting
it
in
a
process
that
allows
for
more
people
to
have
access
to
it
without
going
through
the
ZB,
EA
I
think
makes
a
lot
more
sense,
and
so
I'm
grateful
to
rusi
luigien
councilor
Jen
for
her
advocacy
on
this
and
her
lifting
this
up.
I
think
this
is
something
good
for
the
city
as
well
as
the
overall
impact
on
on
bees
and
then
be
the
bee
population
that
we
are
seeing
in
this
country
and
worldwide.
Thank
you.
A
J
You
so
much
Mr
President
and
like
Council
Arroyo
I
want
to
thank
councilor
Louie
John
for
including
me
on
this
and
for
all
the
amazing
work
that
her
office
has
been
doing
to
get
us
to
this
point
of
filing
the
way
I
see.
This
is
that
you
know
bees
really
are
a
common
good,
they're
critical
to
our
ecosystem,
they're
key
pollinators
and
and
the
reality
is
that
you
know
it's
not
enough
to
just
have
them.
J
I
mean
the
the
populations
collapsing,
as
counselor
Arroyo
said,
and
even
though
we've
got
some
amazing
beehives
popping
up
in
some
of
Boston's
public
or
semi-public
spaces
like
I,
just
I
opened
an
apiary
in
the
Fenway
Victory
Gardens.
In
my
district,
there
are
beehives
up
in
Kevin
Fitzgerald
Park
in
Mission
Hill,
but
the
reality
is
much
like.
When
we
talk
about
tree
cover
in
the
city
and
we
say
hey,
we
can't
just
do
it
with
trees
on
the
public
land.
We
need
trees
to
be
on
private
land
too.
J
If
we're
going
to
really
have
the
key
ecosystem
benefits
that
we
have
from
bees,
they
have
to
also
be
on,
like
you
know,
at
people's
private
residences,
who
want
to
keep
them
and
the
reality
is
when
there's
something
like
that.
That
serves
a
common
good
that
we
want
our
private
residents
to
be
participating
in.
J
We
have
to
make
it
easier
and
not
harder,
and
the
dynamic
today
is
that
deciding
to
you
know,
put
a
beehive
on
your
property
is
kind
of
like
deciding
to
add
an
addition
to
your
house
and
I
think
that
we
want
to
shift
it.
And
what
council
early
gen
has
really
recommended
here
is
that
we
shifted
into
being
more
alike
wanting
to
have
a
dog
and
going
to
get
it
licensed
right
and
that
there
be
definite
rules
and
regs
and
we're
going
to
go
through
the
ordinance
process
to
kick
the
tires.
J
The
ones
that
already
exist.
But
the
fact
that
those
regs
have
been
in
the
zoning
code
has
just
discouraged
too
many
of
our
residents
and
and
frankly,
we
should
hope
that
many
more
residents
than
even
the
ones
in
Hyde
Park,
who
really
brought
this
issue
to
the
fore,
are
actively
trying
to
keep
bees
in
the
city,
because
the
benefits
to
the
whole
ecosystem
are
are
manifest.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
on
this
with
councilor
John
and
Council
Arroyo
and
the
whole
Council
and
hope
everyone
will
sign
on
support.
Thank
you.
Mr
President.

you,

Collide.
So
this
is
great.
Not
only
is
this
a
feel-good
piece
of
legislation,
it's
also
incredibly
Savvy.
You
were
able
to
take
it
out
of
the
zoning
code
and
put
it
in
Municipal
Code,
which
is
just
a
good
example
of
good
government
and
having
it
work
better
for
residents.
So
this
was
incredibly
smart.
L
An
incredibly
smart
move
of
you
and
so
I
just
want
to

I
Thank
you,
Mr
President
I
also
want
to
thank
all
counselors
in
attendance
and
particularly
Central
staff
for
last
Thursday
evening's
committee,
on
redistricting
public
hearing
on
redistricting
principles.

I
The
hearing
was
dedicated
to
receiving
Community
testimony
in
order
to
inform
a
proposed
redistricting
plan
submitted
by
the
chair
and
vice
chair.
In
particular,
we
have
sought
the
testimony
of
community
leaders
who
have
been
directly
involved
in
Civil
Rights,
Voting,
Rights
and
redistricting
efforts
throughout
this
our
City's
history.
I
Consideration
of
strengthening
existing
and
identifying
new
opportunity,
districts
and
transparency
and
access
to
live,
streamed
and
recorded
committee
proceedings
and
ensuring
a
thorough
committee
and
Community
engagement
process
ahead.
Our
proposed
ordinance
is
just
that
one
proposal
of
several
intended
to
be
a
reflection
and
culmination
of
Consular
deliberation
during
committee
working
sessions
and
public
testimony
received.
I
The
same
Boston
redistricting
Court
ruling
considered
the
balance
between
cracking
and
parking
in
respect
to
an
effective
majority
of
minor
minority
districts.
The
minority
population
of
at
least
65
percent
in
a
single
District
in
a
single
member
district
is
necessary
to
give
minority
voters
a
reasonable
opportunity
to
elect
a
candidate
of
their
choice.
I
While
65
was
the
total
population
goal,
60
has
been
the
what
has
been
the
aim
of
the
voting
Edge
population
to
reach
an
effective
majority
in
2010
District
3
had
16
62.3
total
minority
population
and
a
58.3
voting
Edge
minority
population
in
2020,
District
3
had
61.8
percent
total
minority
population
and
58.5
voting
age.
Minority
population,
our
proposal,
District
3,
would
have
64.9
total
majority
total
minority
population
and
61.5
voting
age
minority.
I
Among
the
proposals,
this
plan
would
also
have
the
least
amount
of
minority
residents
affected
by
their
voting.
Precinct
change,
changing
their
voting,
Precinct
changing
districts
if
passed.
This
is
something
the
committee
the
council
and
the
city
could
be
could
be
proud
of
achieving
after
40
Years
of
District
representation
on
this
body,
while
in
still
ensuring
two
dorchester-based
District
seats
for
the
largest
neighborhood
in
our
city,
we
still
have
a
community
process
ahead
of
us
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
our
colleagues
and
hearing
directly
from
residents
in
our
communities.
I
D
Full
thank
you,
president
Flynn,
and
thank
you
Council
Braden
and
Central
staff
and
our
teams
for
all
their
work
on
in
this
process.
This
back
was
built
on
the
input
of
community
leaders,
activists
and
counselors.
This
map,
which
is
still
open
to
feedback
his
approach
that
strengthens,
strengthens
and
maintains
opportunity
districts.
D
Following
the
principles
of
the
Voting
Rights
Act,
we
were
able
to
create
four
districts
that
a
majority
people
of
color
with
a
strong
voting
age
population,
my
value,
the
level
of
Engagement
from
the
counselors
and
our
constituents
in
this
process
and
just
looking
ahead.
These
are
tentative
dates
to
hold
evening
public
hearings
and
Dorchester,
Mattapan
or
Roxbury,
so
we're
looking
at
Monday
10,
17,
Thursday,
10,
20
or
Monday
10
24..
We
look
forward
as
a
committee
to
continuing
this
collaborative
effort
in
order
to
create
fair
and
Equitable
maps
for
our
city.
Thank
you.
A
F
F
Last
year
during
mayor
mayor
tenure
and
I
am
hoping
that
today
we
can
do
the
same
thing
that
we
did
last
year
in
suspend
and
pass
it.
So
we
can
get
this
much
needed
legislation
back
to
the
state
house
before
our
next
session
last
year.
This
homework
position
was
sponsored
by
my
Council
colleagues,
Michael
Flaherty
and
Kenzie
Bach,
and
it
is
regarding
expiring.
These
properties,
so
expiring,
used
properties
are
really
an
issue
that
impact
thousands
of
currently
affordable
units
in
the
city
of
Boston.
F
We
know
that
our
affordable
housing
Supply
needs
to
grow,
not
shrink
in
the
city
and
therefore
preserving
our
existence.
Stock
is
going
to
be
an
essential
step
that
we
need
to
take.
We've
met
with
Advocates
who've
pushed
the
city
and
state
levels
to
make
to
make
ensure
that
such
reforms
as
this
home
will
petition
pass
in
Council
of
Braden's
district.
For
example,
we
have
the
Babcock
Towers
in
Austin
and
in
my
district
we
have
been
working
closely
with
The
Advocates
around
the
Forbes
building.
F
Essentially,
these
buildings,
once
set
aside,
have
been
zoned
for
affordable
housing
and
when
that
timeline
ends,
the
owners
are
able
to
take
them
off
the
market
as
affordable
people
as
affordable
housing
and
make
them
Market
great
housing.
As
of
2021,
there
are
30
435,
privately
owned
subsidized
apartments
in
Boston
and
close
to
2.
000
of
those
have
been
converted
to
high
Market
rents.
F
A
M
Flow,
thank
you
Mr
President
and
thank
the
lead
sponsor
for
the
opportunity
to
partner
with
her
and
our
colleague,
Council
lebach
and
our
colleagues.
Here.
It
is
incumbent
that
the
city
preserve
its
affordable
housing
stock
and,
according
to
former
mayor
Marty,
Walsh's
housing,
a
changing
City
report,
3038
apartments
are
at
the
risk
of
conversion
into
market
rate
housing
within
the
next
10
years.
That's
a
significant
number.
We
also
know
that
a
number
of
them
are
in
the
city's
highest
priced
neighborhoods,
where
Financial
incentives
are
therefore
developers
to
convert
to
market
rate.
M
This
home
rule
petition
will
help
towards
ensuring
affordable
housing
and
will
take
steps
to
allow
the
city
to
maintain
units
as
affordable
and
also
this
body
has
always
stood
with
residents
of
expiring
use.
As
long
as
I've
been
here
on,
the
council,
I
can
attest
to
that.
We've
also
also
stood
with
the
residents
of
the
Forbes
building
as
most
recently
as
the
last
couple
of
years,
so
kudos
to
Michael
Kane,
who
continues
to
Advocate
staunchly
on
there,
as
well
as
other
expiring,
use
residents
behalf.
M
There
is
a
sense
of
urgency
here,
given
that
there'll
be
a
an
event
and
a
rally
fairly
soon
in
Jamaica
Plain.
So
I
concur
with
my
colleague
that
would
look
to
move
suspension
and
adoption
today,
so
we
can
get
this
over
to
the
residents.
Let
them
know
that
the
Boston
city
council
stands
with
them
in
their
efforts
to
protect
their
expiring
use,
affordable
property
and
residence
and
homes.
Thank
you,
Mr
President
thank.
J
Last
year
and
sent
it
up
to
the
state
house,
I
think
it's
a
very
important
thing
for
us
to
repeatedly
send
the
reality
is
that
you
know
expiring
use.
Affordable
housing
was
a
huge
mistake
in
the
sense
of
having
it
expire
after
40
years.
These
are
all
properties
that
the
public
poured
a
ton
of
money
into
creating.
So
the
idea
that
we've
poured
that
money
in
we've
created
real
communities.
J
In
many
cases
you
know
you've
got
seniors
families
who
have
been
there
for
many
decades
and
then
the
idea
that
we
would
just
hit
a
deadline
and
suddenly
those
communities
could
all
be
uprooted.
In
search
of
you
know,
a
higher
dollar
amount,
it's
just
it's
unconscionable
and,
like
I
said
you
know,
you
really
have
to
understand.
The
history
of
these
properties
is
public
investment
and,
and
that
shouldn't
be
privatized
and
certainly
not
in
ways
that
break
our
communities
apart.
J
Affordability
put
money
in
work
with
the
owners
to
recognize
that
they
want
to
stay
on
the
affordable
path,
but
the
reality
is
that
we
could,
through
state
law,
just
change
this
crazy
situation
that
we
find
ourselves
in
over
and
over
so
I
think
you
know
it
makes
sense
for
this
body
to
consistently
Express
to
our
partners
at
the
state
that
that's
something
that
we
hope
to
see
happen
and
really
important
for
all
of
our
house
communities.
So
thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
Mr
President,
just
rising
to
say,
add
my
name
and
I
want
to
thank
Council
Lara
and
the
co-sponsors
for
filing
this
in
strong
support
that
we
hear
all
the
time
from
our
tenants,
whether
in
the
in
the
South
that
residents,
either
in
the
south
end
or
Ford's,
building
or
wherever
how
these
expiring
use
buildings,
how
it's
just
like
all
of
a
sudden,
their
lives
may
be
uprooted,
and
it's
important
that
we
continue
to
urge
that
we
use
our
public
dollars
for
public
goods
like
maintaining,
secure
housing
for
folks
and
making
sure
that
income
restricted
housing
is
a
reality
that
many
of
our
residents
need
and
are
able
to
obtain.
H
A
Thank
you,
Council
Louisiana
is
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
or
to
add
their
name.
I
would
just
like
to
add
my
support
of
work
with
the
Sheila
Dylan
on
this
on
this
issue
for
five
years.
Many
of
these
situations
or
examples
have
happened
in
the
Chinatown
neighborhood,
but
I
think
if
you
work
closely
with
City
officials,
if
you
work
closely
with
residents
advocate
in
in
making
sure
that
our
residents
are
treated
with
respect,
that's
what
this
is
all
about.

Thank

Thank
you
to
council
Flaherty
for
partnering
with

on
this
hearing.
As
you
know,
there
was
a
recent
accident
at
the
Evelyn
moakley
bridge
in
the
South
Boston
Waterfront.
A
Who
said
this
incident
illustrates
the
need
to
ensure
that
our
light,
poles,
Bridges
and
other
public
infrastructures
are
safe
and
stable
for
our
residents
again
visitors
alike,
especially
as
harsh
weather,
Sea,
Air,
Salt
Water
can
deteriorate.
The
city's
infrastructure
I
had
the
opportunity,
as
many
people
know,
to
serve
in
the
military
in
the
Navy
and
I've
seen
the
destruction.
A
Salt
water
in
the
open
ear
can
have
on
on
infrastructure
as
a
coastal
city,
with
many
bridges
and
it's
a
city
with
harsh
New,
England
weather
light
poles
and
public
infrastructure
in
it
inevitably
get
corroded
by
as
I
mentioned
salt
water
in
the
elements,
and
we
need
to
ensure
that
they
are
safe,
especially
those
that
live
near
these
areas.
It
is
critical
that
the
city
be
inspecting
all
of
these
light
poles
bridges
in
public
infrastructures
to
make
necessary
repairs
in
a
timely
manner
in
working
our
best
with
our
estate
Partners
Federal
Partners.
A
To
ensure
incidents
like
these
don't
happen
again,
but
there's
also
a
critical
role
for
residents
to
play.
If
you
see
a
situation
that
could
potentially
be
a
hazard,
please
contact
311,
so
it
can
be
documented
in
the
appropriate
City
officials
can
begin
the
process,
but
these
quality
life
issues.
These
city
services
are
critical.
A
I
have
great
respect
and
confidence
in
our
city
officials,
but
we
must
make
sure
that
our
roads,
our
bridges,
our
poles,
that
we
rely
on,
are
safe
for
everybody,
whether
it's
in
the
South
Boston
Waterfront,
whether
it's
in
Mattapan,
whether
it's
in
Dorchester
or
East
Boston.
These
quality
life
issues
are
critical.
Thank
you,
councilor
Flaherty,
for
partnering
with
me.
M
They're
going
down
to
the
Evelyn
Oakley
bridge
on
the
South
Boston
Waterfront,
we
are
so
lucky
that
that
pedestrian
was
not
killed
and
so
are
lots
of
prayers
for
a
speedy
recovery.
But
it
also
underscores,
as
council
president
had
alluded
to,
that.
Our
light.
Poles,
Bridges
and
other
public
infrastructure
need
to
be
routinely
inspected,
repaired
and
replaced
one.
He
mentioned
harsh
weather,
two
Salt
Air
and
salt
conditions,
but
we're
also
an
old
city.
We've
got
old
bones:
we've
got
old
infrastructure,
it's
why?
M
When
there's
water
main
breaks
in
your
respective
districts
they're,
arguably
almost
catastrophic
right
in
terms
of
just
the
the
the
the
volume
that
and
the
amount
of
folks
in
residences
and
businesses
that
get
impacted.
We
also
know
about
the
gas
leaks
that
are
in
our
city,
so
this
is
maybe
an
opportunity
for
us
to
reset
the
button
clearly
on
our
roads
and
our
bridges
and
our
light
poles
and
our
infrastructure.
M
But
we
really
got
to
take
a
long,
hard
look
at
our
gas
lines
and
our
water
lines
to
make
sure
that
we're
making
the
necessary
upgrades.
We
should
not
be
waiting
for
a
major
water
main
break.
We
should
not
be
waiting
for
more
gas
leaks.
We
should
be
addressing
these
issues
on
sort
of
a
methodical
and
regular
basis
as
our
city
grows,
and
we
invite
new
businesses
here
and
we're
inviting
new
development.
M
Here
we
have
to
recognize
that
it's
the
old
bones,
it's
the
old
underground
that
we're
currently
living
with,
and
we
have
a
responsibility
as
a
legislative
body
to
make
sure
that
we're
making
the
necessary
infrastructure
upgrades,
repairs
and
Replacements
repeatedly
throughout
the
process.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank.
I
L
Thank
you,
councilor,
Braden
and
I
want
to
be
sure
to
thank
the
makers.
Please
add
my
name
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
your
oversight
and
push
for
greater
accountability.
This
was
a
tragic
occurrence
that
took
place
on
this
bridge
and
I'm
heartbroken
for
that
woman
and
her
family
and
I'm
wishing
her
a
speedy
recovery
as
a
counselor
for
a
coastal
District.
This
is
deeply
concerning
for
me
and
my
constituents
and
in
this
conversation,
I'd
like
to
be
sure
to
Loop
in
massport.
L
This
is
where
a
lot
of
light
posts
in
my
district
reside
but
I
think
just
to
make
sure
we
get
this
on
record.
I
think
we
all
know
our
city
workers
and
we
know
that
they
work
hard
on
a
daily
basis,
especially
those
who
are
out
there
in
the
elements
like
folks
that
work
for
transportation
and
public
works
and
what
happened
here
should
not
be
a
poor
reflection
on
them,
but
rather
a
system
that
did
not
move
fast
enough
to
fix
a
deteriorating
street
light.
We
all
know
bureaucracy
limits,
expeditious
action.
L
Sometimes,
however,
there
should
be
some
sort
sort
of
way
to
work
with
the
state
and
work
with
massport
to
fix
the
repair
process
when
imminent
danger
is
identified.
So
I
just
want
to
commend
the
makers
again
and
I
look
forward
to
this
hearing
and
identifying
Solutions
moving
forward.
Thank
you.
Thank.
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
This
is
this
is
well
overdue.
We
have
a
couple
questions.
You
need
to
ask
hey
we're,
not
we're
not
looking
too
criticize
the
public
works
department
or
the
lighting
department,
but
we
do
need
some
questions
answered.
If
there's
a
report
there
that
showed
failing
infrastructure
whose
desk
was
it
on,
did
you
read
it?
If
you
read
it,
how
come
there
isn't
any
action
on
it?
N
If
you
didn't
read
it,
why
didn't
you
read
it
and
why
you
in
that
position
there,
where
you're
not
reading
reports
like
that,
so
those
are
a
couple
questions
that
we
need
to
answer.
I
would
suggest
that
we
bring
this
into
the
district.
We
bring
this
to
to
District
Hall
down
down
on
the
waterfront
I,
don't
know
where
it's
going
to
go,
but
we
should
talk
to
the
chair
about
bringing
this
in
into
that
district
there.
It's
a
relatively
new
bridge
this
shouldn't
this
shouldn't
be
happening.
B
O
O
Thank
you
so
much.
The
people
of
these
of
district
7
are
tired
of
Decades
of
unsatisfying
development
policies
that
have
marginalized
them
for
the
levers
of
decision
making.
Our
district
is
predominantly
black
and
brown
in
working
class
District
that
has
seen
the
political
and
economic
Elites
sideline
them
for
from
positions
of
power.
Rather,
development
development
projects
are
invariable
presented
to
community
members
after
initial
decision
has
been
made
or
to
what
nature
that
development
will
be.
O
The
status
quo
is
absolutely
an
acceptable,
as
it
severely
limits
the
limit
of
community
members
of
fundamentally
determine
what
will
be
built
and
will
not
be
built
in
the
communities.
The
land
is
ours,
it's
the
communities.
This
is
our
community
and
our
Collective
voice.
Voices
should
be
the
core
component
of
the.
What
results
we
have.
People
are
feasting
at
our
expense
and
throwing
off
set
a
few
crumbs
to
rationalize
their
Endeavors,
and
the
people
are
saying
we
need
to
cook
the
food,
because
food
is
ours.
O
Don't
take
our
food
toss
us
a
few
samples
and
say
that
the
legitimate
development
process
has
occurred.
What
why
do
I
say
this
way
or
do
I
speak
this
way,
because
we
in
district
7,
particularly
in
Roxbury,
have
been
inundated
with
low-income
rentals.
In
fact,
54
of
all
the
housing
units
in
Roxbury
are
income
restricted
compared
to
19.2
percent
for
the
city
as
a
whole.
That
is
astounding.
That
means
that
there
are
nearly
three
times
the
percentage
of
income
restricted
rentals
in
Roxbury
than
there
is
in
the
rest
of
Boston,
which
begs
a
question.
O
Where,
then,
should
low-income
rental
housing
be
built
from
now
on?
Surely
not
in
the
neighborhood?
That
already
has
three
times
as
much
as
the
rest
of
the
city?
Let's
look
a
bit
deeper
at
some
of
the
other
neighborhoods
in
Boston
and
the
percentage
of
low-income
rental
housing.
Six
percent
of
back
base
housing
is
rental,
restricted
is
income
restricted.
Six
percent
of
Bay
Village
housing
is
income
restricted.
Six
percent
of
Beacon
Hills
housing
is
income
restricted.
Six
percent
of
North
End
housing
is
income
restricted.
Six,
seven
percent
of
Hyde
Park
Housing
is
inconstricted.
O
A
percent
of
South
Boston
Waterfront
housing
is
income
restricted.
Let's
build
some
low-income
housing
in
those
neighborhoods
Roxbury
has
nine
times
more
affordable
housing,
more
affordable
rentals
by
percentage
than
four
of
these
communities,
I
would
say
if
a
neighborhood's
got
nine
times
as
much
as
anything
as
another
neighborhood
has.
We
should
look
into
our
distribution
system
a
bit.
75
percent
of
Roxbury
residents
are
renters
and
48
percent
of
those
renters
are
low-income.
Rentals
poverty
essentially
is
concentrated
in
Roxbury
and
done
intentionally.
O
If
it's
not,
then
we
should
take
a
look
at
it
as
a
condition
of
living
in
low-income
housing.
You
must
remain
impoverished
or
your
rent
will
go
up
significantly
or
you
will
be
evicted
connected
to
this
concentration.
The
average
Roxbury
residents
earns
thirty
four
thousand
dollars
a
year.
Less
than
half
of
the
average
wage
71
000
for
Boston
resident
as
a
whole.
There
is
no
denying
that
low-income
rental
housing
is
needed
again.
O
I,
repeat:
I
repeat:
there
is
no
denying
that
low-income
rental
housing
is
needed
in
our
city,
but
it
is
not
needed
in
Roxbury
when
Roxbury
already
has
such
housing
at
nearly
three
times
the
rate
of
the
rest
of
the
city.
Let
such
housing
be
built
in
the
wealthier
and
less
dense
areas
of
Boston,
and
what
do
we
need
in
district
7?
You
ask.
O
We
need
opportunities
for
affordable
home
ownership
that
will
allow
people
to
build
generational
wealth
and
live
in
high
quality.
Define
dignifying
housing
of
the
56
695
total,
restricted
income
units
in
Boston,
53
898,
are
said
units
of
rentals,
the
breakdown,
95
percent
of
affordable
housing
are
rentals
and
only
five
percent
are
owner
occupied,
put
it
another
way
for
every
20,
affordable
homes
in
Boston,
19
or
rentals,
and
one
is
owned.
O
So,
let's
strengthen
the
ratio
out,
especially
in
Roxbury.
What
else
do
we
need?
We
need
Open
Spaces.
We
need
to
utilize
the
dozens
of
parcels
that
are
currently
in
currently
live
vacant
and
activate
them
for
Arts
culture,
space,
Recreation,
entertainment,
Urban,
Gardens,
playground,
trees
and
more.
And
how
do
we
get
this?
We
get
this
by
saying
no
more
to
the
current
process
of
development.
O
Therefore,
we
are
calling
for
moratorium
to
all
development
on
city-owned
land
in
district
7
prior
to
request
of
proposal
project.
It
is
time
for
fair
and
Equitable
development,
death
centers,
the
voices
and
views
of
those
who,
for
too
long
in
our
supposedly
Progressive
City,
have
been
marginalized,
oppressed
and
disenfranchised.
O
The
time
for
change
is
now
and
on
behalf
of
the
district
7
advisory
Council,
which
is
comprised
of
all
of
the
Civic
engagement
chairs
or
Civic
Association
boards,
and
on
behalf
of
the
constituents
who
have
been
fighting
and
playing
and
chasing
these
meetings,
sometimes
double
booked
in
one
evening
on
behalf
of
all
of
the
people
in
Roxbury
that
have
for
too
long
have
been
advocated
and
been
ignored.
O
F
I
want
to
First
say
that
councilor
Fernandez,
Anderson
and
I
have
had
healthy
conversations
and
disagreements
on
how
the
best
way
to
do
this
is
but
I
think
that
ultimately,
I
have
been
since
I
ran
for
office
and
during
my
tenure
here
on,
the
city
council
been
an
advocate
for
deepening
our
Democratic
process,
Beyond
The,
Ballot
Box,
and
what
that
looks
like
is
ensuring
that
we
are
involving
our
neighbors
and
the
community
members
within
our
districts
and
our
constituents
in
the
process
of
making
decisions
about
what
their
neighborhoods
look
like.
F
Beyond
just
election
day
right
now
for
decades,
as
a
member
of
the
community
and
people
who
have
been
here
on
the
council
have
heard
from
our
neighbors
that
the
development
process
oftentimes
leaves
Community
voice
and
Community
input
until
the
last
minute
and
by
the
time
that
they're
presenting
proposals
in
front
of
us.
Ultimately,
some
of
the
key
decisions
have
already
been
made,
and
so
what
this
here
hearing
order
on
this
conversation
is
ultimately
presenting
to
us.
Our
two
things:
two
requests.
F
The
first
request
is
that
the
people
of
District
Seven
and
the
people
of
Roxbury
want
an
opportunity
to
develop
a
transformative
vision
for
how
the
city-owned
land
is
used
in
their
neighborhood.
They
want
to
be
able
to
have
conversations
with
the
people
who
live
there
about
what
they
want
there.
What
is
going
to
best
serve
their
needs
and
how
to
best
make
that
happen
and
put
a
proposal
in
front
of
the
city
and
we're
unable
to
do
that.
If
we're
continuing
to
move
forward
with
the
processes
they
currently
as
it
currently
stands.
F
Are
we
continuing
the
legacy
of
building
more
segregated
neighborhoods
by
overly
concentrating
them
in
one
neighborhood
and
so
I'm
happy
to
have
this
conversation
with
councilor
Fernandez
Anderson
in
the
district
7
Advisory
Group,
although
I
only
represent
one
Precinct
in
raspberry
in
Roxbury,
it
is
my
home
neighborhood
of
Eggleston
square
and
I'm
happy
to
partner
with
councilor
Anderson
in
this
conversation,
so
that
we
can
help
the
people
of
Roxbury
in
district
7,
bring
their
Collective
vision
for
their
neighborhood,
not
only
to
the
city
council
but
to
the
mayor
as
well.
Thank
you
thank.
P
You
Mr
President,
and
thank
you
to
my
sisters
in
service
for
bringing
this
here
to
the
council.
I
am
encouraged,
and
while
we
are
focusing
on
D7
when
I
think
about
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
across
the
city
in
terms
of
Planning
and
Development,
it
always
is
an
afterthought
in
terms
of
community,
and
you
already
know,
I
always
talk
about
nothing
about
us
without
us
is
for
us,
and
what
ends
up
happening
is
that
people
come
into
our
neighborhoods
present
us
plans,
and
then
we
have
to
decide
whether
or
not
we
like
them.
P
M
Over
the
floor,
thank
you,
Mr
President.
It
sort
of
helps.
This
quarter
helps
hearken
back
to
when
we
were
in
the
process
of
creating
and
permitting
the
South
Boston
Waterfront.
The
Southwestern
Community,
through
its
elected
and
Civic
leaders,
fought
the
Menino
Administration
and
the
bra
vigorously
for
more
affordable
housing
for
more
inclusionary
Zoning
for
a
public
school,
a
public
library,
a
police,
fire
and
or
EMS
Depot.
M
In
addition
to
open
space
and
we're
rebuffed
at
every
single
term
by
both
the
Medina
Administration
and
the
VRA
so
you're
down
there.
Now
it's
in
the
South
Boston
Waterfront,
but
yet
you
almost
kind
of
feel
like
you're
in
New
York
a
huge
missed
opportunity.
There
were
some
good
things
happening
down
there,
but
it
could
have
been
more
inclusive.
M
We
could
have
had
more,
affordable
housing
should
have
had
more
affordable
housing,
the
mitigation
funds
the
linkage
was
taken
out
of
there
and
instead
of
putting
affordable
unit,
it's
and
again
a
public
school,
a
public
library,
Etc,
we're
taken
in
and
we're
a
lot
of
development
took
place
in
District,
Seven
and
or
other
districts
across
the
city
and
the
community.
The
South
Boston
Community.
Always
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
were
there
was
enough,
affordable
housing.
M
They
wanted
there
to
be
had
the
opportunity
to
live
down
there,
and
we
also
wanted
to
make
sure
it
was
a
fabric
of
the
neighborhood
and
and
a
great
addition
to
the
city.
So,
while
you
see
a
lot
of
buildings,
you've
got
companies
moving
in
down
there
there's
lots
of
job
opportunity.
We
also
wanted
a
a
stem
job
training
program
down
there
as
well,
because
we
knew
what
would
be
coming
to.
M
We
knew
the
companies
and
CEOs
would
be
moving
their
companies
down
there
to
be
where
the
brain
power
is
to
be
where
the
college
and
university
and
the
hospitals
are
so
again.
Look
looking
back
at
you
know
over
all
of
this
opportunity,
but
the
South
Boston
Community
threw
his
electives
and
Civics
fought
hard
and
so
I
sympathize.
Please
add
my
name:
I
look
forward
to
an
expedited
hearing
and
a
discussion.
It's
the
residence,
it's
the
neighbors!
It's
folks
that
have
made
Roxbury
District
7,
the
great
neighborhood
that
it
is.
M
They
should
have
some
more
say
in
what's
happening
and
I'm
a
testament
to
having
been
in
those
beatings
and
having
been
in
those
fights
and
only
to
have
an
Administration
and
and
a
bra
ignore
the
requests
and
the
pleas
from
the
community
from
the
electives
and
Civics
to
create
more
affordable
housing
down
there
and
and
to
this
day,
that's
probably
the
Achilles
heel.
M
Everyone
talks
about
the
South
Boston
Waterfront
and
talks
about
lots
of
the
activity
down
there,
but
you
don't
feel
sort
of
it
doesn't
have
that
neighborhood
homegrown
feeling
that
it
would,
if
there
were
more
inclusion
in
Arizona,
more
affordable
housing,
a
public
library,
a
public
school
Etc.
So
please
add
my
name
as
president.
A
Thank
you,
Council
Flaherty
and
I
would
Echo
what
you
said.
Council
Flaherty,
but
I
I,
want
to
say
to
council
Fernandez
Anderson
I
had
the
opportunity
to
join
you
in
district
7,
your
Advisory
Group
on
a
Saturday
morning,
I
believe-
and
it
was
an
excellent
discussion
about
this
issue
in
in
other
in
other
issues
as
well.
But
it
was
a
group
of
dedicated
neighbors
of
yours
that
really
are
concerned
about
God.
The
future
of
of
the
neighborhood,
so
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
important
work
you're
doing
Council
Fernandez
Anderson.
A
Would
anyone
else
like
to
speak
on
this
matter
or
well?
Raise
your
hand
if
you
want
to
sign
on
to
it
Mr
clerk.
Please
add
council
operating,
please
Council
Louis
gen,
Council,
Mejia,
Council,
Flaherty,
councilman,
Council,
Burrell,
Council
council,
president.
A
Anyone
else
did
I
miss
anybody.
Okay,
docket
one
two
one
nine
will
be
referred
to
the
committee
on
planning
development
and
transportation.
A
G
A
modification
would
better
reflect
the
Park's
goal
to
honor
veterans
of
African
descent,
gourdine's
military
Legacy
in
the
culture
in
the
Roxbury
Community.
The
modification
is
personally
pursued
by
grandchildren,
family
veterans
and
Friends
of
the
park.
Some
who
are
here
with
us
today
thank
you
for
coming
and
staying
through
this
meeting,
who
have
worked
tirelessly
for
the
Park's
completion,
achieving
many
significant
milestones
in
participating
in
numerous
Community
meetings
in
public
meeting
hearings
for
over
a
decade.
G
A
O
Thank
you,
council.
President
I
am
very
happy
to
co-sponsor
this
resolution
with
my
colleague,
counselor
Aaron
Murphy
Gerald,
Edward
gordine.
It
was
a
formidable
figure,
an
incredible
resume,
particularly
at
his
time,
and
his
accomplishment
reminds
us
of
his
contemporaries
that
incomparable
Paul
Robeson
I
not
to
beat
the
dead
horse
or
the
bees
in
this
case,
but
I.
O
It's
it's
incredible
to
be
here
to
file
this
resolution
and
what's
really
exciting
about
this,
and
particularly
adding
African-American
to
the
name
as
it
honors
a
single
accomplishment
of
a
black
man
from
a
hundred
years
ago.
This
is
everything
to
me
to
be
able
to
prioritize
African
Americans
in
particularly,
and
some
may
say
that
it's
just
a
symbol,
but
it's
just
a
name,
but
in
the
way
that
we
preserve
our
history
and
identity
and
me
as
an
African,
immigrant
woman
and
being
your
far
distant
cousin
from
the
across
the
ocean.
O
Thank
you
as
a
family
and
relatives
and
Advocates
that
have
pushed
us
to
do
this
and
I'm
very
happy
to
do
this
and
look
forward
to
more
to
beautifying
Roxbury
to
representing
you
in
our
district,
as
well
as
to
fighting
alongside
you,
you
have
a
sister
or
a
niece
in
you
and
I
hope
I
hope
very
soon
to
break
bread
and
celebrate
this.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
A
I
would
I'd
like
to
speak
briefly
in
thanking
councilman,
Murphy
and
councilor
Fernandez
Anderson
on
recommending
this
change.
This
change
will
also
as
someone
that
worked
on
Veterans
issues,
but
this
change
will
also
highlight
the
incredible
contributions
and
sacrifices
of
African-American
veterans
and
it's
important.
We
we
do
that.
A
We
recognize
African-American
veterans
here
they
are
serving
in
our
major
Wars
of
this
country,
World
War
One,
World,
War
II
and
when
they
return
back
to
to
Boston
our
cities
across
the
the
country
that
discrimination
still
took
place,
but
they
were
willing
to
die
for
our
country
at
very
difficult
times,
and
this
November
we'll
recognize
Veterans
Day,
but
we
also
recognize
African-American
veterans
with
a
breakfast
that
will
be
hosted
by
Maya
Wu
sometime
over
the
next
several
weeks.
So
again,
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
council,
Fernandez,
Anderson
and
Council
Murphy.
A
Would
anyone
like
to
add
their
name?

B
Offered
by
councilor
Ken
to
allow
a
resolution
recognizing
indigenous
people's
day,
whereas
the
city
of
Boston
now
celebrates
indigenous
people's
day
on
the
second
Monday
in
October.
Pursuant
to
the
October
6
2021
executive
order
of
acting
mayor,
Kim
Janey
and
be
it
resolved
that
the
council
encourages
the
people
of
Boston
to
observe
indigenous
people's
Day
by
reflecting
upon
the
dispossession
of
the
homelands
and
Villages
of
the
Massachusetts
people
of
this
region.
B
Who
lived
here
for
Millennia
before

continuing
presence
that
are
the
caretakers
of
the
land
to
reflect
upon
the
history
of
the
other
indigenous
peoples
who
had
lived
in
Boston
and
to
celebrate
the
survival
of
indigenous
peoples.
Against
All
Odds,
as

cultures
and
values
that
indigenous
peoples
have
brought
and
continue
to
bring
to
our
city.

A
F
Thank
you
so
much
thanks
to
an
executive
order
that
was
signed
by
mayor
Kim
Janey,
the
city
of
Boston
celebrates
indigenous
peoples
day
on
the
second
Monday
of
October
I
filed
this
resolution
on
the
Urge
of
local
Advocates,
who
stress
the
importance
of
the
city
of
Boston,
continuing
to
recognize
indigenous
people's
day
since
time
immemorial,
American
Indians,
Alaska,
Natives
and
native
Hawaiians
have
built
a
vibrant
and
diverse
cultures,
safeguarding
land,
language,
Spirit
knowledge
and
tradition
across
the
Generations
on
indigenous
peoples
day.
F
Here
in
the
city
of
Boston,
we
celebrate
indigenous
peoples
and
valuable
contributions
and
resilience
and
recognize
their
inherent
sovereignty.
Today,
I
respectfully
request
that
we
suspend
the
rules
and
pass
this
resolution
so
that
we
can
fly
the
flag
of
an
indigenous
Nation
for
the
first
time
in
our
City's
history.
If
passed
on
Friday
October
7th
at
approximately
11
A.M,
we
will
be
flying
the
Massachusetts
at
Ponca
Park
flag
for
the
first
time
ever
and
I
would
like
my
Council
colleagues
to
please
join
me.
F
A
H
You
Mr,
President
and
I
want
to
thank
Council
Lara
for
introducing
this
resolution
to
honor
indigenous
people's
day.
As
we
all
know,
Boston
is
on
still
in
Massachusetts
and
proud
tuck
at
land.
We
honor
the
many
contributions
and
limit
the
struggles
of
the
indigenous
population
here
in
our
city,
many
of
which
the
struggles
of
which
are
rooted
in
European
exploration
that
led
to
the
decimation
of
many
an
indigenous
tribes.
Here
in
Boston,
when
British
colonial
colonists
started
arriving
in
droves,
many
indigenous
people
were
killed
in
wars
or
forcibly
removed
to
the
Boston
Harbor
Islands.
H
And
it's
up
to
us
to
really
correct
the
harm
that
we've
created
in
ignoring
the
importance
of
these
sites
for
our
indigenous
communities.
So
a
true
Reckoning
with
history
will
necessarily
change.
Traditions
and
change
can
be
hard
and
uncomfortable,
but
we
owe
it
to
our
kids
and
our
kids
kids
to
try
to
get
it
right
to
create
an
inclusive
and
Equitable
City
and
to
live
a
life
where
we
honor
our
neighbors.
H
We
must
work
every
day
to
get
closer
to
the
truth
and
to
bend
the
moral
art
for
justice
and
so
I
believe
continuing
to
do
what
former
mayor
Kim
Janie
did
in
recognizing
indigenous
people's
day
is
an
important
thing
that
we
do
here
as
a
council
and
create
space
for
everyone
and
all
of
our
all
of
our
coach,
different
cultures
that
make
up
this
city.
So
thank
you
for
introducing
this
resolution
and
I
look
forward
to
honoring
our
indigenous
people
here
in
the
city.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
Thank
you
so
much
Mr,
President
I
just
wanted
to
speak
briefly.
To
say,
please
add
my
name:
I've
been
privileged
to
be
with
the
Massachusetts
tribe
for
the
raising
of
their
flag
on
sites.
In
my
district
and
I
think
you
know
it's.
It's
deeply
ironic
and
painful
that
we
actually
took
the
name
of
the
tribe
for
the
state
and
that
we
still
have
a
state
flag
that
has
a
representation
of
a
Native
American
person
on
it.
J
And
yet
so
often
the
history
of
our
indigenous
people
on
these
lands
is
forgotten
and
not
highlighted,
and
so
it's
been
very
meaningful
for
me
to
get
to
know
the
leadership
of
the
tribe
and
also,
of
course,
the
North
American
Indian
Center
of
Boston.
That
is
on
the
border
between
my
district
and
councilor
Lara's,
just
to
say
that
they,
you
know
they
continue
to
observe,
really
important
moral
leadership
and
be
asking
us
to
kind
of
find
ways
to
really
honor
this
history
and
Market
more
consistently.
A
L
L
L
With
more
conversations
to
be
had
so
I
celebrate
this
and
again,
please
add
my
name
and
I
look
forward
to
those
conversations.
Thank
you.
A
A
B
Offered
by
City
councilor
Julia
Mejia
order
for
a
hearing
on
Green
New
Deal
for
Boston
Public
Schools
plans,
especially
the
plan
to
merge
six
schools
into
three
and
split
each
of
them
onto
two
campuses.
Whereas
one
of
the
fundamental
fundamental
responsibilities
of
the
Boston
city
council
is
to
ensure
that
there
is
accountability,
transparency
and
accessibility
in
All
City
business,
including
the
appropriation
of
funds
to
the
Boston
Public
Schools,
and
be
it
ordered
that
the
appropriate
Committee
of
the
Boston
city
council
hold
a
hearing
regarding
government
transparency
and
the
potential
inequity.
P
P
Our
office
was
contacted
by
a
number
of
Advocates
who
were
really
concerned
about
the
process
that
we
were
moving
as
it
relates
to
some
of
the
mergers,
and
we
were
advised
that
the
equity
planning
tool
had
not
been
used
for
this
very
specific
process
and
in
the
interest
of
making
sure
that
community
and
families
and
students
and
stakeholders
all
have
an
ability
to
weigh
in.
P
We
know
that
there's
going
to
be
a
vote
coming
down
at
the
school
committee
that
we
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
pause
and
really
get
a
better
handle
about
how
this
is
going
to
impact
folks.
So
we
are
in
our
office
hoping
to
schedule
a
speedy
hearing
so
that
we
have
a
better
understanding
of
the
scope
of
what
is
at
play
and,
more
importantly,
the
voice
of
community
and
this
whole
entire
process.
P
So
oh
I
would
like
to
also
say
and
I'm
sorry
that
I
forgot
to
say
this
in
the
earlier
part
that
I
like
to
suspend
Rule
and
add
my
colleague
councilada
to
join
me
on
this
hearing
order.
Thank
you
and
sorry
for
that
oversight.
Thank.
A
F
You
president,
Flynn
and
I'll,
also
be
brief
in
in
my
remarks,
given
that
this
is
a
late
file.
The
green
New
Deal
for
BPS
was
presented
early
on
this
year
by
the
administration.
F
Previously
we
had
the
build
BPS
plan
and
what
we've
heard
consistently
from
people
in
the
communities
is
that
the
bill
BPS
plan
and
also
the
green
New
Deal
for
BPS,
is
really
falling
short
when
it
comes
to
community
engagement
and
listening
to
community
voice
and
including,
but
not
limited
to
using
the
equity
tool
that
has
been
provided
to
us
in
the
city.
Although
we
have
been
told
that
they're
hoping
to
ensure
that
we're
using
it
in
the
future.
F
As
the
chair
of
the
environmental
justice,
resiliency
and
Parks
committee
I
know
how
important
it
is
that
we
are
moving
towards
a
just
transition
and
ensuring
that
we
are
not
only
right
sizing.
Our
schools
based
on
our
enrollment,
but
that
we're
moving
as
fast
as
possible
towards
decarbonization.
But
one
of
the
tenets
and
the
principles
of
a
just
transition
is
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
causing
harm
to
marginalize
communities
as
we're
going
through
this
process.
F
And
so,
although
I
am
incredibly
encouraged
by
the
green
New
Deal
for
BPS
and
the
new
model
that
the
BPS
has
put
forward
for
our
schools,
I
think
that
we
have
to
take
very
very.
We
have
to
take
good
care
to
ensure
proper
Community
process
and
listening
to
Community
Voices
about
the
possible
impact
of
this,
so
I'm
happy
to
partner
with
councilmania,
to
move
this
conversation
forward
and
continue
centering
the
voices
of
the
people
who
are
going
to
be
most
impacted
by
these
changes
in
the
process.
Thank
you.
