B
A
B
B
Different
though
you
might
be,
you
join
together
as
one
each
and
every
time
you
convene
a
legislative
session
such
as
this,
you
join
together
as
one
each
and
every
time
you
speak
as
a
public
body
to
prepare
for
the
work
that
lies
before
you
this
day.
Might
you
begin
your
time
together
by
invoking
by
inviting
in
three
essential
guides,
courage,
compassion
and
commitment?
B
B
That
has
the
compassion
to
notice
the
needs
and
vulnerabilities
of
many
in
our
community,
and
all
that
is
in
you
that
moves
your
hearts
in
your
hands
to
help
soothe
that
distress
in
the
name
of
all
that
is
in
you.
That
has
the
commitment
to
believe
that
every
single
effort
made
on
behalf
of
what
could
be
matters
in
the
name
of
all
of
this
and
more.
You
come
together
to
begin
this
day
bright,
bringing
to
the
forefront
by
inviting
in
by
invoking
all
the
courage,
compassion
and
commitment
the
creation
has
given
you.
B
May
your
hearts
and
mind
to
be
open
to
receiving
even
more
as
you
begin
this
day
together
as
you
ready
yourself
for
all
the
work
that
is
etched
into
your
hearts,
into
the
lives
of
your
constituents
and
into
the
written
agenda.
That
undoubtedly,
is
before
you
in
a
shared
moment
of
silence.
Then
may
you
now
evoke
for
yourself:
may
you
invite
in
these
three
friends
courage,
compassion
and
commitment?
D
Thank
you,
madam
president,
you
know
thank
you
to
my
colleagues.
I
want
to
thank
council,
oh-whoa
and
council
Janey
for
joining
me.
The
reason
for
for
this
presentation
is
to
recognize
CM
debreu,
but
also
to
recognize
the
outstanding
work
of
the
ethiopian
community.
Here
in
Boston,
Ethiopians
and
Ethiopian
Americans
have
played
a
key
role
in
our
city.
Boston
has
welcomed
this
community.
The
Ethiopian
community
has
contributed,
contributed
greatly
in
the
arts
and
culture
at
our
universities
and
businesses
in
various
cultural
organizations
across
Boston
and
across
Greater
Boston.
D
We're
proud
as
a
city
of
the
outstanding
contributions
they
have
made
to
our
city,
inmate
swallow
country
and
we're
proud
of
the
Ethiopian
community
in
their
role
here
in
the
civic
life
of
Boston
I'm,
proud
to
be
joined
by
my
colleagues
and
I
want
to
ask
council
about
councilor
Janie
before
we
introduce
in
if
you'd
like
to
offer
a
few
words.
I
will.
F
Had
a
very
lovely,
beautiful
flag-raising,
on
the
plaza
over
the
weekend
to
prepare
for
the
you,
keep
an
Ethiopian
New
Year
in
Kota
Tash.
So
I
want
to
thank
Sam
for
making
sure
that
whatever
he's
doing
he's,
always
bringing
community
members
with
him-
and
it
was
just
a
great
display
of
culture
and
unity
and
the
strength
and
beauty
of
Boston.
G
Thank
You
counselors
Flynn,
Jane,
Ian
Wu,
for
your
friendship
and
your
support.
Good
afternoon.
Everyone
I
have
the
real
honor
of
organizing
for
last
four
years,
the
Ethiopian
flag,
raising
ceremony
that
we
have
at
Boston,
City,
Hall,
plaza
and
just
to
say
a
few
words
about
that.
You
know:
I
have
lived
in
the
United
States
for
over
20
years.
I
came
here
as
a
kid
and
I've
always
been
jealous
of
these
other
immigrant
communities
that
can
put
off
a
really
good
show.
G
You
know
so,
whether
it's
the
Greek
community
or
Italians,
or
the
Haitians,
the
Dominicans,
the
Puerto,
Ricans
and
others.
You
know
they
they
have
the
ability
to
really
put
on
a
show,
and
so
a
few
years
ago,
I
said
you
know
well,
instead
of
complaining.
Let
me
try
to
put
something
together
and
so
in
2015
we
organized
the
first
Ethiopian
flag,
raising
ceremony
for
the
City
of
Boston.
It
was
a
lovely
lovely
Sunday
afternoon
and
since
then,
we've
continued
the
tradition
to
mark
the
Ethiopian
new
year.
G
Ethiopia,
as
some
of
you
may
know,
is
a
very
ancient
country
that
has
over
5000
years
of
civilization.
It's
the
one
of
the
oldest
continuously
surviving
countries
in
the
world,
it's
the
oldest
in
Africa,
and
one
of
the
only
in
the
world
that
have
never
been
colonized
as
well
for
any
of
you,
coffee
lovers.
Here,
it's
also
the
birthplace
of
coffee.
It's
actually
the
only
place
in
the
world
where
the
coffee
bean
grows
wild
and
it's
also
the
birthplace
of
humanity.
G
So
there's
a
lot
to
celebrate
here,
but
unfortunately
in
the
United
States
and
in
much
of
the
west.
What
we
know
of
Ethiopia
is
as
a
place,
that's
ravaged
by
war,
famine
and
and
AIDS,
and
so
that's
not
the
complete
story,
of
course,
and
so
as
Ethiopians
that
live
work
play
and
innovate
in
the
city
of
Boston
I
felt
like
it
was
important
to
bring
the
community
together
and
have
a
space
where
we
could
come
together
at
City,
Hall
plaza
and
celebrate
the
New
Year.
So
tomorrow
Ethiopia
begins
the
year
of
2012.
G
So
for
all
of
you
who
may
have
had
regrets
back,
then
you
can,
you
know,
go
ahead
and
amend
things
you
can
relive
the
year
2012
and,
and
it
follows
its
own
calendar.
It's
very
similar
to
the
ancient
Julian
calendar
and
it's
based
off
of
the
Ethiopian
Orthodox
Church's
calculations
of
of
the
world,
but
I
just
want
to
thank
these
counselors
and
all
of
you
today
for
coming
together
and
for
recognizing
the
Ethiopian
New
Year
of
2012
and
I
hope
that
throughout
the
coming
year,
you
will
find
that
this
is
your
best
year.
Yet.
G
So,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
time
that
you've
given
me
and
then
I
do
have
a
special
gift
to
all
of
you,
counsellors,
Ethiopia,
u.s.
lapel
pin.
Some
of
you
may
have
received
them
from
prior
events
with
me,
but
I
have
13
here
and
I,
don't
know
what
the
protocols
but
I'm
happy
to
give
them
to
all
of
you
as
well.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
You

Flynn,

Wu

I
Thank
you,
madam

I,
do

speak
to
docket

Two,
eight
three
regarding
my
request
to
amend
docket
number,
zero,
two
five,
eight
to
add
a
fourth
bullet,
so
it
is
so
we're
able
to
cover
this
topic,
in
particular
in
my
public
working
sessions
around
the
opioid
crisis,
and
that
is
so
that
we
can
discuss
publicly
a
inconvenient
to
report
the
findings
regarding
a
recent
trip
to
both
supervised
injection
facilities
in
Toronto
Canada,
as
well
as
the
conversations
around
public
health.
I
I
would
like
to
state
for
the
record
that
neither
the
Committee
on
homelessness,
mental
health
in
recovery,
nor
the
council
as
a
whole
body,
has
taken
a
formal
position
on
the
opening
of
safe
injection
facilities
or
super
supervise
consumption
sites
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
my
own
capacity
is
a
public
official
as
an
elected
official
I
am
on
the
record
as
being
opposed
to
safe
consumption
sites
or
supervised
injection
facilities.
My
stance
has
not
changed,
but
I
do
think.
I
H
You,
madam
president,
on
August
28th,
we
heard
three
dockets,
two
of
which
were
under
the
Committee
on
healthy
women,
families
and
communities.
This
is
the
first
of
those
two
and
then
we'll
get
into
another
one
from
the
Environment
Committee.
This
is,
of
course,
docket
zero.
Six,
six

I
wanted
to
thank
council,
Ed,
Flynn
and
Kim
Janney
for
their
participation
and
input
in
the
hearing
aid.
H
Strong,

well
as

behalf

authorizes,
two
thousand

and
sixty
two
thousand
seven
hundred
and
sixty
three
dollars
for
the
senior
Companion
program,
which
helps
older
adults
live
independently.
The
program
matches
volunteers
over
the
age
of
55
living
two
hundred
under
two
hundred
percent
of
the
poverty
guidelines
with
older
seniors
in
need
of
miscellaneous
help
and
companionship.
H
The
grant
funds,
the
stipends
of
the
volunteers
as
well
as
meal
and
travel
reimbursements,
as
well
as
administration
expenses
program,
currently
has
sixty
six
volunteers
at
fifteen
between
15
and
20,
and
fluctuates
part
and
organizations
throughout
the
city
that
serve
as
volunteer
stations.
This
is
a
great
program
that
really
helps
deal
with
loneliness
that
can
often
be
detrimental
to
so
many
of
our
seniors.
So
I'm
really
delighted
that
the
city's
taking
such
a
proactive
approach
to
not
only

O'malley,

to
which
is
referred
on:
April
24th,
2019,
docket,
number,
zero,
six,
six,
seven
message
and
authorizes
city
Boston
to
accept
and
expend
an
amount
of
one
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty
three
dollars
in
forma
grant
for
the
retired
senior
volunteer
program.

awarded
by
the
corporation
of
National
and
Community
Service,
to
be
administered
by
the
elderly,
Commission
submits
a
report
recommending
council.
H
You,
madam
president,
this
dock
at
667,
which
authorizes
one
hundred
and
sixty-five
thousand
three
hundred
and
three
dollars
and
sixty
cents
for
the
retired
senior
volunteer
program
or
RSVP.
For
short,
this
is
similar
to
the
docket
we
just
discussed.
There
are
666,
however,
in
terms
of
it
engages
volunteers
over
the
age
of
55
to
deliver
food
service,
bus,
buddies,
help
veterans
in
their
community
as
well
as
provide
other
support
to
homebound
or
seniors
with
disabilities.
H
The
original
docket,
when
this
was
listed,
they
listed
the
amount
of
a
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty
three
dollars.
However,
since
the
dockets
filing
the
Commission
received
an
increase
to
the
base
amount
for
the
grant,
that's
why
the
numbers
a
little
bit
different
about
thirty
five
thousand
dollars
increase,
but
we
went
over
that
at
the
hearing
and
the
change
is
reflected
in
the
committee
report
before
you
today:
the
grant
funds,
administrative
staff
expenses,
as
well
as
travel
reimbursement
for
this
volunteer
program.
H
It
doesn't
have
the
same
stipend
or
one-on-one
volunteerism
the
way
the
prior
talk
it
does,
but
nevertheless
it
employs
a
lot
more
volunteers
or
takes
works
with
a
lot
more
volunteers.
There's
the
program
goal
has
three
hundred
and
fifty
volunteers
around
the
city,
and
there
are
forty
different
volunteer
stations
again
similarly
to
the
last
docket.
This
is
something
that
the
aide,
strong
Commission,
is
really
led
in
the
way
of
peer-to-peer
support
among
seniors
and
making
sure
that
we
have
great
opportunities
for
volunteerism,
as
well
as
support
programs
in
place
and
I
recommend
passage
once
again.

H
You,
madam
president,
additionally,
since
we
last
met
the
Committee
on
Environment
in
part,
sustainability
and
parks
held
a
hearing
on
dock
at
zero,
eight

which
is
an
order
authorizing
the
city
of
Boston,
to
accept
the
350
thousand
dollar
grant
from
the
National
Endowment
for
the
Humanities
to
be
administered
by
the
Environment
Department,
which
will
fund
an
archeologist
to
collect
data
and
digitize
archeological
findings.
City
archaeologist,
Joe
Bagley
provided
a
brief
overview
and
stated
that
the
funding
will
digitize
five
archeological
sites
that
were
excavated
from
the
1980s
and
1990s.
H
The
five
sites
included
are
the
Boston
Common
Faneuil
Hall
Brook
Farm,
the
Paul
Revere
house
in
27
to
29
Endicott
Street
in
the
North
End.
With
the
very
sad
news
in
my
district
yesterday,
I
may
see.
If
we
can
get
Doyle's
cafe
listed
as
well
and
get
some
archaeological
preservation
out
there,
there
will
be
an
estimated
200,
10,000
artifacts
and
we
probably
catalogued
and
including
the
digitisation
after
some
of
you
were
here
when
I
did
the
council
luncheon
several
years
ago
with
Joe
Bagley.
He
is
an
absolute
treasure
in
this
city.
He's
our
city
archaeologist.
H
This
gives
him
some
much-needed
support
and
staffing
to
really
catalog.
So
much
of
our
history.
There
is
so
much
history
in
this
city
of
nearly
400
year
old
history.
It's
really
exciting
to
see
the
significant
grant
which
will
allow
for
additional
staffing,
digitization
and
one
thing
I
had
asked
which
they
were
amenable
to.
Is
we
take
some
of
these
artifacts
and
we
do
a
traveling
show
around
the
city,
use
our
libraries,
our
police
station,
certain
areas
just
to
really
show
off
some
of
the
incredible
deep,
rich
and
powerful
history
that
the
city
has.
H
D
You,
madam
president,
I
just
want
to
echo
what
consul
O'malley
mentioned.
It
was
a
great
hearing
and
Joe
did
a
tremendous
job
working
in
the
division
working
with
various
departments
to
make
sure
that
the
history
of
Boston
is
shared
with
everybody.
Joe
Bagley
and
his
many
volunteers
were
working
this
summer
in
Chinatown
at
at
a
dig
and
they
were
finding
various
artifacts
over
the
last
50
a
hundred
years,
and
it's
a
way
for
us
to
remember
our
history
and
to
learn
from
our
history.

F
You,
madam

I'll
invite
the
district
councillor
whose
district
this
parcels
in
to
chime
in
as
well.
We
had
a
very
informative
hearing
on
this
particular
surplus
order.
Forty
to
fifty
40-50
Warren
Street
in
Roxbury
is
currently
parking.
A
municipal
parking
lot
of
25
parking
spaces,
there's
been
a
process
through
plan
deadly
and
with
the
Roxbury
Oversight
Committee
and
many
other
community
groups
over
the
last
two
years
to
determine
the
future
of
this
particular
parcel.
F
F
So
we
have
had
this
conversation
in
the
community,
and
this
is
really
the
final
step
and
I
just
want
to
note
that
this
is
the
order
in
which
we
should
have
these
conversations
with
the
council
that
our
vote
to
formally
dispose
of
the
parcel
should
come
after
all,
the
pieces,
with
a
community
with
RFPs
with
developers
and
all
the
negotiations
have
happened
so
that
we
can
know
what
we
are
we
voting
on.
So
I
will
turn
it
over
to
the
district
councillor
to
weigh
in.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
E
And
thanks
so
much,
madam
president
and
I
want
to
thank
Council
who,
for
her
leadership
and
sharing
the
hearing
yesterday,
as
she
already
stated,
it
is
a
parcel
that
is
out
for
bid.
There
is
a
development
team
that
has
put
forth
a
proposal
that
has
24
rental
units
as
well
as
affordable
units.
The
retail
space
will
be
really
important
in
terms
of
activating
deadly

supporting
the
existing
businesses
that
are
there.

the

D
Thank
You
Madame
president
I,
want
to
say
thank
you
to
councillor
O'malley
for
his
leadership
on
this

I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to

Frank

as
well
in
my
colleagues
in
the
state

Moakley
Park
is
an
incredible
park,
that's
utilized
by
so
many
people
across
our
city.
D
There
was
a
people
jogging
on
the
track
playing
football
lacrosse,
so
it's
well
utilized,
but
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
when
we
go
forward
with
planning
of
the
park
that
our
coaches,
our
parents
and
people
that
use
the
park
everyday
are
also
involved
in
a
planning
process
as
well
again
want
to
say
thank
you
to

in

and
especially
to

Thank
you,

A
K
C
A
Thank
You
counselor
garrison.
Apologies
for
that
everyone
should
have
a
copy,
it's
actually
just
minor
correction.
For
the
most
part,
it's
adding
a
language
or
adding
language
at
the
end,
saying
that
a
copy
of
the
resolution
should
be
forwarded
will
be
forwarded
to
some
parties,
Thank
You,
councillor
garrison
as.
K
I
travel
across
the
city
of
Boston
each
and
every
day,
I
have
sadly
heard
that
many
rank-and-file
boston,
police
officers
and
members
of
the
Boston
Public
Administration
feel
unsupported
and
unfairly
criticized
even
by
politicians
for
the
selflessness
service.
They
provide
to
keep
our
city
safe
here
in
this,
along
with
recent
events
in
our
city,
where
there
has
been
drastic
increase
in
unnecessary
violence.
K
Animosity
antagonism
toward
the
very
people
who
are
tasked
with
protecting
and
defending
us
caused
me
to
rise
in
support
of
the
Boston
Police
Department
and
the
Boston
Police
patrolman
Association,
while
freedom
of
speech
and
right
to
peaceful
protests
must
always
be
respected.
Commit
crime
of
assault
against
Boston
police
officers
must
not
be
tolerated.
As
elected
officials,
we
have
a
moral
obligation
to
partner
with
the
Boston
Police
Department
in
upholding
the
laws
honor
and
peace
throughout
the
city.
K
L
You
very
much
when
I
read
this
resolution.
My
first
thought
was:
you
know,
if
there's
ever,
where
are
police
officers,
those
who
are
willing
to
put
their
life
on
the
lines
when
they
do
feel
unappreciated
and
disrespected
by
individuals?
Then
it's
your
right
councillor
garrison.
It
is
our
job
to
demonstrate
to
them
that
we
absolutely
support
them.
So
I'm
gonna
go
on
record
and
support
and
say
thank
you
to
nor
Bastion.
L
Captain
McCormick
captain
Foong
start
Duan
go
sergeant.
Martin's
Commissioner
cross
each
one
of
them
individually
have
been
part
of
helping
myself.
My
constituents
deal
with
some
of
the
hardest
and
most
devastating,
and
sometimes
the
most
disgusting
things
I've.
As
a
legal
services
attorney
I
took
because
of
police
officers,
I
was
I
was
actually
standing
by
AIDS
victims
who
are
subjected
to
domestic
violence.
L
I've
worked
with
immigrants
and
have
been
the
bridge
with
the
police
officers
and
happily
have
watched
the
police
officers
deal
with
them
with
the
respect
and
dignity
that
they
deserved,
regardless
of
the
fact
of
where
they
were
born.
I
have
watched
police
officers
been
down
on
knees
to
talk
with
three-year-olds
to
make
sure
that
they
felt
safe
and
that
they
felt
heard
I
have
seen
the
best
come
out
of
them
when
the
worst
comes
out
of
society,
so
I
absolutely
support
the
Boston
Police
officers
I
absolutely
support
the
police.
L
I
have
family
members
who
serve
regularly
right
now
and
what
is
unfortunately
called
chiraq.
There
are
police
officers
there
who
put
their
life
on
the
lines
or
they
have
70
shootings
in
a
weekend
and
I.
Don't
know
that
we
have
that
many
in
several
months.
It
would
be
devastating
to
me
that
any
of
these
officers,
any
officer
my
family,
would
have
lose
their
life,
be
disrespected
matter
of
fact,
my
my
cousin
and
I.
J
L
Had
the
tough
upbringing
and
then
he
he
held
back
the
fact
that
he
told
us
he
was
a
history
major
for
years.
He
was
embarrassed
actually
not
embarrassed,
but
scared
about
my
reaction,
my
family's
reaction
about
him
becoming
a
police
officer
and
how
we
would
see
him
because
I'd
attended
go
to
the
left,
not
so
much.
L
We
have
wonderful
debates
because
he's
a
police
officer.
We
have
debates
because
he
goes
in
there
and
in
the
line
of
fire
when
bullets
are
being
fired
to
hit
him
at
the
same
time,
people
in
our
own
community
or
screaming
had
him
get
the
hell
out
of
here
and
he's
like
I
wouldn't
be
here.
If
somebody
didn't
call
me
because
I
didn't
feel
safe
again,
we
asked
many
times
our
police
officers
to
rise
to
the
occasion
when
society
is
devolving.
L
We
asked
them
to
do
that
despite
the
fact
that
they're
human
beings
and
that
they
are
amazing,
superheroes
who
come
out
there
when
no
one
wants
them,
sometimes
so
I
absolutely
support
the
Boston
Police
I,
absolutely
support
that
they
have
to
do
the
toughest
job
and
I.
Don't
have
to
do
that
because
someone
else
is
going
to
call
them
and
they're
going
to
show
up
no
matter
who
it
is,
but
I
don't
support
this
resolution.
I
don't
support
this
resolution
because
I
don't
believe
it's
actually
intended
to
support
the
police.
L
I
think
it's
intended
to
support
a
political
agenda
and
to
kick
those
who
are
protesting
or
call
or
hold
the
police
accountable
to
make
them
really
the
perpetrators.
So
I
do
not
intend
to
support
this
resolution,
but
I
in
continue
to
intend
to
support
the
Boston
Police
Department
and
the
Boston
police
officers
and
I'll
meet
with
them
individually.
Each
and
every
one
of
them
and
I
did
actually
before
this
hearing
to
tell
them
where
I
would
stand.
I
respect
them
bad
enough
enough
to
take
that
no
surprises
from
me.
I.
L
L
This
resolution
doesn't
help
further
the
conversation,
but
I
will
happily
be
part
of
any
conversation,
anytime
anyplace
anywhere
to
make
sure
that
the
Boston
Police
feel
supported,
but
also
to
make
sure
that
people
further,
they
can
absolutely
protest
and
hold
them
accountable,
so
I
want
it
again
say
thank
you
to
the
officers
who
are
here
today
tell
your
representatives
that
I
would
not
be
supporting
this
resolution.
If,
at
any
time
any
of
you
individually
feel
you
are
disrespected
by
myself
from
my
constituents.
I
want
to
be
there.
L
F
Madam
president,
I
am
proud
and
grateful
every
day
to
live
in
a
city
that
is
kept
safe
by
our
first
responders
and
by
those
sworn
to
protect
and
serve
in
the
Boston
Police
Department.
We
have
I
think
well.
Maybe
all
of
us
sitting
on
this
floor
are
a
little
bit
biased
but
I.
Think
objectively
also,
we
have
the
most
professional
force
in
the
country,
one
that
provides
training
and
expertise
for
other
departments
in
Massachusetts,
certainly
and
nationally
and
I
stand
to
condemn
violence
against
our
Boston
police
officers
against
police
officers.
F
I
stand
to
condemn
violence
in
all
its
forms,
affecting
residents
across
our
city
and
in
our
neighborhoods.
What
makes
me
proudest
of
the
Boston
Police
Department
is
that
time
and
again
this
department
has
stated,
through
its
leadership
and
through
its
participation
in
council
proceedings,
that
the
philosophy
should
be
for
safety
for
effective
policing
that
that
hash
has
to
start
from
a
foundation
of
trust
with
the
community,
and
that
has
come
across
in
various
ways.
Again
and
again.
Boston
is
home
to
community
policing.
F
It
is
a
history
that
we
all
have
to
be
aware
of
and
I
think
in
order
to
use
this
opportunity
to
grow
that
trust
with
community
as
opposed
to
threaten
it
or
create
misperceptions
that
will
affect
that
trust
in
community
I
request
a
madam
president
that
this
docket
received
an
opportunity
for
public
conversation
in
committee.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
to
have
the
greatest
respect
for
our
Police
Department.
You
know
officers
that
have
worked
so
hard
and
are
so
professional
in
keeping
us
safe,
especially
during
difficult
times
in
our
city,
whether
it's
the
recent
protest
or
was
during
various
racial
periods
in
our
city's
history
was
always
the
or
often
it
was
always
the
Boston
Police
that
took
the
leadership
role
and
tried
to
bring
people
together,
whether
it
was
Tom,
Scott,
R,
Willis
Saunders,
who
was
a
friend
of
mine
who
was
a
Tuskegee
Airmen
matter
president.
D
Just
the
other
day,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
be
with
many
members
of
the
Boston
Police
patrolman's
Association
and
with
a
good
friend
of
mine
from
South
Boston
rich
DeVoe
in
recognizing
the
hundredth
anniversary
of
the
of
the
Boston
police
strike
and
the
Boston
police
went
on
strike
a
hundred
years
ago.
The
other
day
they
voted
at
the
social
club
which
in
the
south
end
of
Boston,
but
they
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
had
a
decent
wage.
They
had
field
working
conditions.
D
They
were
working
80
hours
a
week
with
one
day
off
every
three
weeks
and
they
would
pay
one-third
less
of
the
salary
than
a
traditional
city
laborer,
the
city.
The
strike
went
on
for
a
period
of
time
and
the
governor
of
the
state
calvin
coolidge,
who
basically
overseen
the
Boston
Police
Department,
fired
the
police
offices
and
at
that
time
they
brought
in
striking
police
offices
as
replacements,
but
the
Boston
Police
Department
came
together
and
they
really
demanded
justice,
they
demanded
fairness
and
they
wanted
to
make
sure
that
their
families
were
treated
with
respect
and
dignity.
D
This
is
still
not
paid
enough
money.
The
it's
a
it's
a
lot
of
forced
overtime,
that
these
police
officers
are
doing.
It's
having
an
impact
on
their
family.
That's
say
having
an
impact
on
on
our
city
as
well
the
opportunity,
as
many
of
many
of
you
know,
to
have
served
overseas
and
them
in
the
military,
but
I
also
think
of
the
police
officers
that
were
at
the
at
the
Boston
Marathon
bombing
several
years
ago,
and
what
impact
that
had
on
them,
what
impact
it
had
on
their
family?
D
Do
we
have
police
officers
that
are
suffering
from
PTSD
like
many
military
people,
do
I
think
those
issues
that
we
also
have
to
discuss
as
a
city
going
forward.
We
can't
keep
delaying
that
that's
a
critical
issue.
I
stand
with
the
Boston
Police
offices,
because
the
Boston
Police
offices,
in
my
opinion,
have
always
been
there
for
the
residents
of
Boston
as
we
celebrate
and
recognize
the
hundredth
anniversary
of
the
of
the
strike.
D
We
also
want
to
reflect
on
what
the
Boston
Police
patrolman's
Association
is
all
about.
It's
a
it's.
A
union
and
they're
fighting
for
fair
wages,
they're
fighting
for
decent
working
conditions,
time
off
to
spend
with
their
family
medical
care,
just
like
every
other
Union,
would
so
I'm
proud
to
stand
here
and
support
the
police
officers
Madam
President.
D
D
We
really
need
to
come
together
and
focus
on
issues
that
really
unite
us.
Instead
of
these
narrow
issues
that
can
divide
us,
I
think
that's.
What
Boston
is
all
about
is
looking
for,
the
goodness
and
people
looking
for
the
best
out
of
people
and
not
focusing
on
negative
aspects
at
times
of
people,
but
bringing
out
what's
good
of
our
city
and
bringing
out
what's
good
of
our
neighborhoods
and
for
those
reasons
and
many
others
I
I'm,
proud
to
stand
here
and
support
the
Boston
Police.
H
You,
madam
president,
I,
will
be
brief,
because
I
know
we
have
a
packed
agenda
but
appreciate
the
comments
of
all.
My
colleagues
appreciate
the
at-large
council
for
her
leadership
on.
This
obviously
goes
without
saying
the
men
and
women
of
the
Boston
Police
Department
and
the
EMS
division
VPP
AMS
divisions
with
us
as
well
know.
There
are
several
other
herring
orders
we'll
get
into
later.
That
will
be
relevant
to
some
of
the
issues
that
are
discussed
but
wanted
to
thank
councilor
garrison
and
ask
that
my
name
be
added
to
this
resolution.
Thank.
M
When
is
that
not
okay?
When
can
we?
When
can
we
say
to
the
people
that
are
coming
into
Boston?
You
know
if
we
want
to
talk
about
community
policing,
I,
believe
our
police
are
in
our
communities,
but
it's
the
people
coming
from
Vermont
Somerville,
Belmont,
Bellingham
Middleborough
to
come
into
our
streets
with
weapons
on
them
and
masks
on
at
what
point
is
that
not
okay
and
at
what
point
can
we
say
is
enough?
M
Is
enough
because
it's
not
kids
from
Dorchester
Roxbury,
so
in
Sao
Paulo
there
were
some
kids
out
there,
but
I,
don't
think
that
our
kids
are
out
there
with
masks
on
and
bats
under
them
and
throwing
bottles
of
urine
at
our
police.
So
I
want
to
sign
on
to
this.
Please-
and
thank
you
thank
you
for
this
today
and
I
believe
that
there's
a
couple
things
on
the
docket
today
that
will
get
us
into
this
into
this
conversation
here.
M
A
You
councillor
Baker
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
at
the
name:
Madame
clerk.
If
you
could
add
councillor
Baker
accounts
of
co-moh
councillor,
sabi
George,
councillor,
Flynn,
council,
McCarthy,
council
O'malley
did
I
miss
anyone
in
terms
of
adding
names
at
this
time,
because
it's
been
an
objection
on
the
floor
with
respect
to
the
resolution
and
when
you
suspend
the
rules,
the
rule
will
say
that
everyone,
because
it's
a
suspend
and
pass
and
it's
been
introduced
to
the
council
for
the
first
time
everyone
has
to
be
on
board.
A
A
B
M
M
And
this
has
been
the
talk
in
the
Vietnamese
community
in
a
field
corner
for
my
entire
time
on
the
on
the
council
and
uShip
field
corner
with
me.
So
thank
you
for
signing
on.
Also
council
Boston
is
the
largest
population
of
Vietnamese
Americans
in
in
Massachusetts,
and
of
those
nine
thousand
four
hundred
and
three
foreign-born
Vietnamese
Americans.
M
Three-Quarters
of
them
are
living
in
Dorchester,
the
majority
of
Vietnamese
American
residents,
businesses
and
community
programs
are
concentrated
along
Dorchester
Avenue
in
fields
corner
the
first
Vietnamese
American
community
center
in
the
country
was
built
in
Dorchester
in
1994
and
a
cultural
designate.
District
designation
aims
to
attract
more
business
and
tourism
to
the
area.
M
This
hearing
order
will
be
an
opportunity
to
hear
from
the
Massachusetts
Cultural
Council
the
city
of
Boston,
the
Little
Saigon
Little
Saigon
cultural
district,
Advisory
Committee
and
the
residents
to
hear
the
comments
and
questions
and
concerns
one
of
the
things
that
was
the
issue
in
fields
corner
of
the
the
people
in
fields
corner
were
concerned
that
they
were
going
to
lose
their
identity
to
a
little
saigon
district.
I
argue.
We
argue
that
within
fields
corner
there
is
a
little
saigon
district
to
promote
the
vietnamese
community
there.
M
One
of
the
good
things
that's
coming
out
of
this
is:
is
the
the
Little
Saigon
cultural
district.
Advisory
Committee
will
be
partnering
with
the
the
main
streets
group,
because
one
of
the
issues
that
Main
streets
has
is
connecting
on
to
the
Vietnamese
businesses,
because
they
don't
have
enough
translators
and
they're.
Not
there
messaging
is
incorrect,
so
I
see
this
as
a
positive
will
bring
the
will
bring
the
meeting
right
into
fields
corner.
So
we
can
have
everybody
there.
All
stakeholders
there
to
voice,
hear
the
comments,
question
and
concerns.
F
You,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
to
the
district
councillor
for
his
partnership
on
this.
This
is
a
designation
that
the
community
I
know
has
been
seeking
for
a
long
long
time,
just
recognition
of
how
much
vibrancy
in
fields
corner
and
even
more
throughout
Dorchester
really
is
because
of
the
contributions,
the
businesses,
the
cultural
events,
the
commitment
to
community
that
comes
from
our
Vietnamese
American
community
in
Dorchester
and
in
Boston.
So
a
lot
of
work
has
already
gone
into
the
proposal.
A
A
It's
it's
not
an
easy
district,
there's
a
lot
of
things
going
on,
but
this
is
a
unique
opportunity
to
have
a
hearing
that
will
talk
about
the
tremendous
value
that
our
Vietnamese
Americans
bring,
not
only
in
fields
corner
and
particularly
in
Dorchester
and
they've,
been
there
for
a
very
long
time
and
what
they
contribute
to
the
economy
and
the
culture
there,
but
across
the
entire
city
of
Boston,
so
really
excited
for
the
conversation
and
thank
you
both
for
the
partnership.
Anyone
else.
Oh
I
apologize,
counselor
Flint.
You
have
the
floor.
Thank.
D
You,
madam
president,
Madam
President
I
just
want
to
highlight
the
role
of
counsel
of
Baker
and
counselor
wool
and
council
president
Campbell
on
representing
the
Vietnamese
in
Vietnamese
community
extremely
well,
and
I'd
also
like
to
recognize
our
city
clerk,
who
also
recognized
represented
the
Vietnamese
community,
very
well
as
a
district
city
councilor
in
Dorchester.
So
we've
had
great
leaders
in
this
city,
always
there
for
the
Vietnamese
and
Vietnamese
community.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
my
colleagues.
Thank.
A
You
so
much,
and
would
you
like
to
add
your
name?
Yes,
madam
clerk,
if
you
could
add
a
counselor,
Flynn,
counselor,
CMO,
counselor,
Edwards,
counselor,
sabe,
Jorge,
counselor,
garrison,
counsel,
McCarthy
counsel,
Malley,
counselor,
Jose
come
doc,
yet
one
two
eight
eight
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
arts,
culture
and
special
events
and
I
just
want
to
quickly
acknowledge
that
we
have
a
state
representative
who's
sort
of
hiding
way
in
the
back.
That's
why
I
didn't
see
him
Tommy
rotolo.
Thank
you
for
being
here
also
with
local
26.
A
Are
you
a
steak
rub
too
I
see
you
raising
your
hand?
No,
but
it's
nice
to
see
you
thank
you
for
being
here.
Thank
you
to
local
26
our
being
here
and
thank
you
state
Rep
for
being
here.
Apologies
for
missing
you
earlier
I
know
you're
like
amongst
the
people,
so
thank
you
moving
on
to
the
next
docket.
Thank
you,
madam
clerk.
B
D
You,
madam
president,
night,
want
to
say
thank
you
to
counselor
ed
woods
for
her
leadership
on
so
many
veteran
issues
and
issues
impacting
military
families.
It's
been
great
to
work
with
councilor
Edwards
on
these
important
issues,
not
a
president.
This
is
a
resolution
to
support
children
born
abroad
to
military
members
in
federal
workers
serving
abroad
in
response
to
a
recent
Trump
administration
policy
change
that
would
make
it
hotter
for
some
of
these
children
to
get
automatic,
American
citizenship.
D
Before
this
policy
change
children
born
abroad
to
parents
serving
in
the
military,
while
working
in
the
federal
government
can
be
considered
residing
on
US
soil
for
immigration
purposes.
However,
this
new
policy
change
would
make
it
more
difficult
for
some
of
these
children's
who
automatically
become
citizens.
Children
who
are
adopted
by
certain
servicemembers
born
abroad
to
parents
who
are
recent,
who
were
recently
naturalized
or
two
parents
who
are
US
citizens
but
not
lived
in
the
United
States,
are
also
impacted.
This
is
through
the
Trump
administration
change
in
immigration
policy.
D
This
new
policy
change
is
making
it
more
stressful
and
confusing
for
military
members
in
federal
workers
serving
abroad.
These
men
and
women
make
tremendous
sacrifice
serving
our
country,
as
I
mentioned,
I've
seen
so
many
military
families
abroad,
whether
it
was
in
Guantanamo,
Cuba
I,
was
in
Japan
or
throughout
Europe,
but
these
kids,
these
American
children
that
were
born
on
these
military
bases,
are
as
Americans
as
as
we
are
as
my
family,
who
are
a
military
family
as
well,
but
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
counselor
Edwards
for
her
leadership
and
I
know.
D
Consul
Edwards
also
comes
from
a
military
family
and
we
don't
want
to
put
more
stress
on
military
families.
They
go
through
enough
as
it
is.
They
should
not
be
subjected
to
more
hardships,
more
pain
from
our
federal
government
in
denying
them
citizenship.
We
should
make
it
easier
someone
that
wants
to
put
the
military
uniform
on
their
back
to
serve
our
country,
give
their
kids
an
opportunity
to
become
American
citizens.
Let
them
enjoy
our
country.
D
The
appearance
fought
for
their
parents
were
in
harm's
way
and
the
apparent
sacrifice
for
us,
many
of
them
now
are
at
the
VA
medical
hospitals
getting
care
for
some
of
their
injuries.
And
now
what
are
we
saying
to
their
children
that
you're,
not
a
US
citizen
or
we're
gonna
limit
your
ability
to
come
to
the
United
States?
So
these
types
of
immigration
laws
are
not
only
unfair
that
mean-spirited
and
I
think
we
owe
it.
D
L
L
If
you
are
serving
in
this
in
the
military,
you
are
placed
abroad.
Okay,
you
may
choose
sometimes
some
locations,
but
ultimately
is
the
decision
of
the
US
military
to
put
you
and
your
family
abroad,
and
so,
when
you
are
put
abroad
to
defend
this
country,
you
should
not
be
denied
in
any
way
shape
or
form
citizenship
to
your
kids,
whether
you
adopt
them,
whether
they,
whether
what
your
citizenship
status
it
is,
the
law
should
remain
the
same,
which
is
that
you
are
serving
the
United
States.
L
One
of
the
very
basic
understandings
is
when
you
are
on
that
military
base.
You
are
in
the
United
States,
and
that
is
all
that
we're
asking
is
that
we
maintain
the
course
and
what
we
have
been
doing,
because
it's
a
most
respectful
thing.
You
can
do
I've
said
many
times.
It
is
not
just
the
service
member
that
is
serving
this
country.
We
serve
as
well
the
children,
the
wives,
the
husbands,
the
brothers,
mothers
we
serve
as
well.
L
We
serve
are
there
waiting
for
our
loved
ones
to
come
home
sometimes
were
the
only
ones
there
to
receive
that
coffin.
We
also
serve
in
many
cases
when
we're
sitting
there
waiting
myself
when
Iraq
one
happened,
and
we
had
to
deal
with
the
fact
that
our
parents,
our
family
members,
our
neighbors,
were
going
off
to
war
and
we
had
therapy
groups
for
us
as
children
on
the
military
base.
It's
a
special
community
of
amazing
families,
of
amazing
Patriots
who
live
on
military
bases
who
serve
this
country.
L
All
of
my
friends
are
from
all
over
this
world,
especially
those
who
grew
up
in
those
military
bases
and
no
one
questioned
their
patriotism.
No
one
questioned
their
love
of
this
country,
and
this
kind
of
policy
does
just
that
by
virtue
of
the
fact
that
their
parents
were
placed
abroad
to
serve
this
country.
So
a
Viet
Minh
Lee
oppose
any
attempt
to
try
and
curtail
or
pullback
citizenship,
especially
when
we're
talking
about
military
children,
children
of
military
service
members,
but
I
just
want
to
think
again
a
counselor
Flynn
for
your
support.
L
A
Thank
You
counselor
Edwards
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
or
add
their
name.
A
madam
clerk.
If
you
could
add
counselor,
Baker,
counselor,
CMO,
counselor,
sabe,
Jorge,
counselor,
Janey,
counselor,
McCarthy
counsel,
male
counselor,
rule
counselors,
a
calm
as
well
as
the
chair,
counselor
counselor,
Flynn
and
Edwards
seek
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
docket,
one
two,
eight
nine,
all
those
in
favor
of
passage,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
docket
one.
Two
eight
nine
has
been
passed.
D
On
this
on
this
resolution,
Madam
President
local
26
members
are
right
behind
us.
They
recently
went
out
on
strike
at
battery,
yet
battery
wolf,
which
is
located
in
in
the
north
end,
and
what
these
workers
are
seeking
to
do
is
they
want
to
be
treated
fairly.
They
want
to
be
treated
with
respect
and
dignity.
They
want
to
fear
a
fair
wage.
They
want
decent
working
conditions.
D
They
want
to
make
sure
that
their
families
also
have
the
opportunity
for
the
American
dream,
just
like
just
like
everybody
else.
Does
they
work
hard?
They
the
really
the
first
people
that
tourists
come
when
they
come
to
Boston,
as
they
see
these
wonderful
professional
people,
workers
who
are
doing
an
outstanding
job
for
our
city
and
for
our
state
and
they're
not
getting
paid
the
the
salary
that
they
they
deserve.
D
They're
taking
advantage
of
by
the
by
this
company,
they're
not
respected
by
the
hotel,
and
this
this
body
has
always
stood
for
the
working
men
and
woman
of
our
city,
especially
low-wage
workers.
So
what
immigrant
community
men
and
women
that
need
government
on
their
side
to
advocate
for
them
and
I?
Think
that's
what
this
body
has
always
done
effectively
has
been
there
to
fight
for
those
without
a
voice
and
fight
for
those
that
need
need.
D
Our
assistance
I'm,
proud
to
support
local
26
and
we've
always
supported
the
members
of
the
hotel
and
restaurant
workers,
because
they've
always
supported
the
people
of
Boston.
They
make
our
city
better.
They
make
our
country
better,
they're,
always
contributing
they're,
always
giving
back
they're
our
schoolteachers
they're,
our
PTA
they're,
our
little
league
coaches.
D
They
work
so
hard
and
they
contribute
so
much
and
sacrifice
so
much
without
little
recognition,
and
often
with
disrespect
from
a
major
company
that
they're
working
for
so
I'm,
proud
to
stand
here
and
support
local
26
I'm,
proud
to
support
the
working
men
and
women
of
this
excellent
Union
and
our
immigrants
deserve
a
fee
of
contract.
A
working
men
and
women
deserve
a
fair
contract.
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
this
strike
is
also
about
making
sure
that
our
communities
of
color
are
also
treated
fairly,
are
also
treated
with
respect
and
I.
Don't
think.
D
Unfortunately,
this
company
is
doing
that
right
now
and
that's
the
role
of
the
Boston
City
Council
is
to
stand
up
for
people
that
need
our
support
and
they
certainly
do
and
they've
earned
it
and
I'm
just
proud
of
the
outstanding
work.
Local
26
and
the
hotel
and
restaurant
workers
have
done
for
our
city
for
so
many
years.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
A
L
To
again
thank
counseling
for
his
leadership
to
the
members
here
today,
I
just
want
to
say
looking
at
you
as
absolutely
I,
think
one
of
the
most
beautiful
group
folks,
I've
ever
seen
I
think
he
represents
honestly
Boston
I,
look
at
the
diversity,
I
see
women,
I,
see
men,
I,
see
all
colors
I,
see
workers,
I,
see
immigrants
and
I
see
our
future
in
your
faces,
and
so
standing
with
you
and
standing
by
your
side
standing
by
working
families.
It's
what
we
do
in
Boston.
L
You
make
us
a
stronger,
a
better
City
because
of
the
hard
work
that
you
do,
that
is
oftentimes
unrecognized,
it's
not
valued,
and
it's
not
seen
and
I
see
not
only
in
you
but
I
see
your
families
who
are
standing
with
you,
because
going
on
strike
is
a
brave,
incredible,
courageous
thing
to
do.
It
is
not
easy
and,
yes,
you
stand
together,
but
a
lot
of,
what's
also
unseen,
is
the
fact
that
your
kids,
your
husband's
your
wives,
all
of
them
are
standing
with
you
too.
L
It's
amazing
thing
to
watch
this
kind
of
solidarity,
because
God
knows
we
need
to
see
it.
We
need
to
see
workers
standing
up
being
unapologetic
for
the
rights
for
the
diversity
and
making
sure
that
this
world
is
a
better
place,
and
not
only
do
you
stand
up
for
yourselves,
you
stood
up
for
student
workers,
you
stood
up
for
domestic
workers,
you
stand
where
other
workers
need
the
support.
Local
26.
It's
like
this
beat
for
the
for
workers.
L
Rights
is,
is
led
by
you
every
single
time,
every
single
time
you
stand
by
with
other
people's
what
other
people
don't
want
to
be
there.
So
this
speaks
to
the
credit
of
your
union.
It
speaks
to
the
credit
of
your
universe,
but
it
also
speaks
to
the
fact
that
in
this
world
today,
if
we
don't
stand
by
workers,
we
don't
stand
by
you.
Then
we
are
walking
away
from
our
own
future
and
the
own,
our
own
health
of
our
city,
I'm.
So
incredibly
honored
and
proud
to
stand
with
you.
L
You
inspire,
and
you
give
energy
to
this
body
every
single
time
you
step
up
and
so
I'll,
be
there
I
know
I.
Wasn't
there
the
first
time
I'll
be
there?
I
was
out
of
the
country.
Actually,
when
you
started
on
strike,
but
I'll
be
there
until
the
strike
is
over
and
we're
going
to
win
you're
going
to
win.
I
E
E
So
thank
you
for
all
of
the
work
that
you
do
every
single
day
for
working
women
and
men.
These
are
good
jobs
that
we
are
fighting,
for.
These
are
jobs
that
put
people
on
the
path
to
middle
class.
This
these
are
jobs
that
help
people
break
out
of
the
cycle
of
poverty
by
their
first
home,
put
their
children
through
college.
It
is
important
that
this
body
stand
with
local
26
and
our
hotel
workers.
They
do
an
amazing
job.
I
was
proud
to
be
out
there.
E
The
first
day
of
the
strike
I
will
continue
to
stand
with
them,
because
that
is
what
makes
our
community
strong
and
we
have
good
jobs
where
people
can
take
care
of
their
families
and
their
communities.
That's
how
we
win
in
the
city,
and
so
just
like
our
councillor.
Edward
said.
Yes,
we
will
win
this
because
when
we
fight
we
win
and
one
job
should
be
enough.
So
thank
you.
N
Thank
good
colleagues
who
sponsored
this
this
resolution
today
and
the
men
and
women,
the
organizers,
the
supporters
of
local
26,
who
are
here
with
us
today
and
who've,
been
out
on
the
picket
lines
for
about
a
week
now.
Is
that
right,
we're
there
every
day
and
I'm
sure
heading
back
there
after
this
without
I,
expect,
will
be
a
strongly
supported
resolution
in
hand
from
this
body.
This
is
incredibly
important
for
the
city
of
vos.
N
I
know
a
good
colleague,
councillor
Flynn,
mentioned
this
earlier,
that
the
history
of
labor
activism
in
the
city,
going
back
to
the
police
strike
of
1919
I,
think
it's
important
that
we
do
have
our
patrolman's,
Union
and
Association
here
today
as
well.
This
is
how
we
get
good
jobs.
This
is
how
we
maintain
good
jobs
and
a
middle
class
and
grow
our
economy
and
challenge
some
of
the
inequities
and
inequalities
and
injustice
is
in
our
community
I'm,
incredibly
proud
to
stand
and
offer
my
name
to
be
added.
N
We
need
to
be
encouraging
private
industry.
We
need
to
be
saying
that
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
hopefully
beyond
at
a
time
of
growing
inequality,
we're
gonna
to
support
good
jobs,
good
wages,
with
fair
working
conditions,
where
you
can
have
health
care,
we
can
save
for
retirement
and
we
can
support
a
family.
So
I
enthusiastically
add
my
name
to
this
look
forward
to
passage
and
look
forward
to
continuing
to
support
these
efforts.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
I
I
Those
of
you
that
have
chosen
to
come
here,
who've
wanted
to
make
a
life
here.
We
owe
you
our
support.
We
owe
you
our
names
to
this
resolution
to
help
you
fight
this
cause
to
win
this
battle.
So
again,
please
add
my
name.
Congratulations
to
the
sponsors,
who
have
no
doubt
led
the
way
through
many
renditions
of
this
experience,
that's
unfortunate
that
we
have
to
continue
with
the
chance
of
one
job
should
be
enough.
I
A
F
You,
madam
president,
would
you
please
add
my
name
as
well
to
the
the
resolution?
There's
not
much
more
to
say
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
It
is
brave
and
courageous
to
take
on
the
risk
of
going
on
strike
and
you're
doing
it,
not
just
for
yourselves
and
your
families,
the
future
that
you're
building
for
your
kids
and
the
sacrifices
you're
making
to
do
that,
but
for
kids
and
families
all
across
our
city
and
really
beyond.
F
A
A
At
this
time,
does
anyone
else
want
to
add
their
name?
Okay,
madam
clerk,
if
we
could
add
counselors
a
comb
counter,
asabi
George,
councillor
woo,
as
well
as
councillor
Baker
councillor
CMO
luminous
encounter
McCarthy,
councillor
Malley,
as
well
as
the
chair.
At
this
time,
councillors
Edwards,
Janey
and
Flynn
request
suspension
of
the
rules
and
passage
of
docket,
one,
two:
nine
zero,
all
those
in
favor
of
passage,
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
Delta
vote,
madam
clerk?
If
you
could
call
the
roll.
B
B
Council
Edwards,
yes,
counselor,
sabe,
George,
councilor,
savvy
George;
yes,
council,
clarity,
Council
Planning,
Council,

Youth,

yes,
Council,
whoa,
council,
woo,
yes
and
councillors.
Aiken
counts
as
a.
B
L
A
L
You
apologizing
I
just
wanted
to
again
thank
councillor
Flynn
for
his
leadership
and
also
councillor
Wu
for
her
leadership
and
a
demonstration
of
her
continued
leadership
on
this
particular
issue.
When
it
comes
to
short-term
rentals,
I
have
had
the
privilege
to
be
to
work
with
both
of
these
counselors,
but
especially
councilor
when
it
came
to
her
being
able
to
navigate
what
I
think
is
one
of
the
more
complicated
conversations
on
short-term
rentals
and
we
got
there
in
the
end
and
today
we're
after
the
September
1st
deadline,
be
the
actual
implementation
and
the
full
laws.
L
Finally,
in
effect
and
I'm
excited
to
see
that,
but
I'm
also
wary
of
the
fact
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
it
is
actually
working
in
the
way
that
it
was
intended
to
work.
We
did
express
concerns
that
would
could
overburden
some
property,
some
small
property
owners.
We
were
concerned
that
it
could
chase
and
move
a
lot
of
the
issues
in
downtown
into
our
neighborhoods.
L
These
are
all
continued
conversations
and
we
promised
our
constituents
that
we
would
not
just
walk
away
from
this,
so
this
conversation
will
continue
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
hearing
to
really
discuss.
Is
it
working
the
way
we
intended
do?
We
need
to
tweak
what
we
passed
do
we
need
to
make
sure
that
it's
actually
protecting
our
neighborhoods
or
did
our?
Are
we
are
or
are
we
simply
adding
more
regulation
was
not
necessary.
D
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
to
council
Edwards
in
Council
will
feel
leadership
on
this
issue.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
work
of
Mayor
Walsh
in
his
administration,
as
well
as
the
for
their
leadership
on
on
on
this
on
this
issue
as
well.
Now
that
the
lawsuit
between
Airbnb
in
the
city
is
settled,
we
want
to
discuss
any
potential
issues
that
may
exist
regarding
enforcement
enforcement
of
the
ordinance
in
remove
in
the
removal
of
investor
units
in
large
corporations
that
have
a
negative
impact
on
our
housing
stock
rental
market.
D
Our
the
quality
of
life
issues,
via
our
recent
reports
from
my
constituents
that
some
unregistered
and
potentially
ineligible
units
are
still
operating
residents
in
the
residence
in
the
Boston
Sun
highlighted
a
building
in
the
south
end
offering
units
for
rent
by
the
night
through
its
website.
Neighbors
in
my
neighborhood
of
South
Boston
have
contacted
me
for
over
a
year
about
an
investor
unit
in
South
Boston
that
is
not
a
primary
residence
or
owner
occupied.
D
D
I
have
notified
Commissioner
Irish
and
his
staff,
as
well
recently,
a
corporate
operator
at
D
in
first
grade
in
south
boston,
held
a
community
meeting
as
they
seek
to
change
17
existing
short-term
rental
units
into
executive
suites,
which
would
not
free
up
housing
units
as
the
ordinance
intended.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
this
ordinance
is
strictly
enforced,
no
exceptions,
so
this
hearing
will
be
discussing
it's
not
about
any
potential
loopholes
to
ensure
that
investor-owned,
a
short-term
rental
units
are
not
displacing
residents
and
causing
quality
of
life
issues.
D
I
have
a
feeling
that
there's
a
lot
of
these
Airbnb
operators
that
continue
to
exist
and
they're
they're,
not
following
the
rules
they're
having
a
devastating
and
tremendous
impact
on
quality
of
life,
issues
for
residents
and
our
neighbors
in
our
neighborhoods,
and
we
need
to
find
out
what
these
loopholes
are
and
work
with
the
various
city
departments
to
make
sure
that
everyone
is
in
compliance
and
that
people
are
following
their
rules.
If
there
are
here
being
being.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
F
We
passed
an
ordinance
that
included
a
provision
around
platform
liability
that
would
find
Airbnb
or
any
other
short
term
rentals
platform
for
every
instance
where
they
were
accepting
the
taking
the
fee
for
accepting
an
illegal
listing
and
booking
that
listing.
This
is
something
that
we
were
and
warned
by
other
cities
by
the
company
that
we
would
get
sued
over,
that
we
would
lose
over
because
other
cities
have
been
going
through
this
with
Airbnb
they
had
been
using
their
weight.
F
Their
bullying
force
is
a
large
corporation
to
Sioux
City
after
City
after
City
to
really
scare
other
cities.
It
did
not
even
starting
with
the
legislation,
but
since
we
did
that
and
then
when
we
won
the
victory
from
the
judge,
who
said
not
only
does
your
ordinance
stand,
but
we
are
actually
setting
a
precedent
for
the
country
and
that
this
platform
liability
piece
stands
as
well.
F
That
gave
us
the
leverage
so
that
the
law
department
was
able
to
secure
this
huge
victory
for
enforcement,
so
I'm
just
so
excited
that
we
are
a
back
full
circle
and
finally,
talking
about
making
it
connect
with
the
neighborhoods
and
following
up
on
all
the
little
pieces
that
the
city
needs
to
do,
to
connect
that
legislation
to
actual
reality
on
the
ground.
Thank
you,
Thank.
E
Really
important
conversation
that
we
need
to
follow
up
on.
So
thank
you
for
that,
and
just
really
to
share
what
I
am
hearing
from
constituents
is
that
their
rather
than
having
housing
that
was
previously
Airbnb,
become
part
of
our
housing
stock
and
available
to
people
who
need
housing
instead,
folks
are
looking
to
create,
but
in
breakfast
'iz
and
corporate
housing.
So
I
think
it's
a
very
timely
conversation.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
You
councillor
Jenny,
would
you
like
to
add
your
name,
madam
Clerk?
If
you
could
add
councillor
Janey,
anyone
else
want
to
add
their
name
to
this.
If
you
could
add
councillor
Janey
councillor,
asabi,
George,
I
know
your
counsellor
co-moh
council,
garrison
council
McCarthy
councillor,
Malley
councillors
a
come
as
well
as
the
chair.
Let's
see,
docket
one
one,
two
nine
one
would
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
housing
and
community
development.
B
O
Thank
you
very
much.
People
are
very
concerned
about
the
First,
Amendment
and
I.
Don't
take
narrowing
of
this
fundamental
right
lightly.
The
Boston
Herald
reported
that
Civic
civil
rights
attorney
and
expert
Harvey
silver
Hill
silverglade
stated
that
in
our
paraphrase
properly
written
he
believes
it,
meaning
this
ordinance
would
pass
constitutional
muster
and
to
be
fair
to
counsel
Silva
gate.
He
did
state.
He
wasn't
in
favor
of
this
proposal
as
I
am.
My
question
is
simple:
when
did
protesting
that
equals
violence
become
society's
normal?
O
When
did
society
save
is
okay
to
throw
cups
of
urine
and
bottles
at
police
officers.
When
did
people
wake
up
in
the
morning
and
say:
hey,
let's
go
to
a
peaceful
protest,
but
don't
forget
your
razors
and
your
your
keys
for
handcuffs
and
your
your
face
mask
in
case
you
get
urine
and
bleach
the
we're
throwing
at
the
cops.
O
You
don't
want
to
get
that
in
your
own
eyes
and
oh,
don't
forget
the
the
trash
barrel
shield
that
I
made
out
in
the
backyard
make
sure
you
bring
that
and
God
forbid,
don't
forget
to
bring
your
masks.
These
are
normal.
He's
asked
the
norms
of
our
society
and
for
the
safety
our
first
responders,
all
of
them
EMS
fire
as
well
as
police,
are
civilians
that
are
here
from
Boston
and
the
visitors
that
come
from
all
over
the
world
to
visit
our
world-class
City.
This
is
incredibly
important.
That's
what
this
ordinance
is
based
on.
O
That's
what
this
ordinance
is
based
on,
but
common-sense
legislation
that
people
should
not
be
allowed
to
do
what
happened
last
week.
That
is
not
First,
Amendment
speech,
that
is
violence
and
it
shouldn't
be
stared
for
in
the
city
of
Boston,
so
I
look
forward
and
I'm
eager
to
have
you
here.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
L
Public
safety
committee,
you
have
led
I,
think
this
body
and
several
difficult
conversations
and
I
think
this
is
only
part
of
that
as
well,
when
we
were
talking
about
surveillance,
for
example,
and
how
we
as
a
body,
would
work
with
the
police
for
any
additional
surveillance
technology
that
they
used.
So
this
is
not
new
and
I
and
I
appreciate
your
leadership.
L
Continued
I
am
going
to
sign
on
to
this,
because
I
think
it's
where
again
part
of
the
conversations
that
you've
helped
to
either
bring
about
or
have
helped
start
as
a
as
a
city,
councilor
and
I
want
to.
Thank
you
again
for
that.
I
do
want
to
say,
though,
that
I
think
the
conversation
not
only
should
involve
whether
we
should
be
regulating
or
eliminating
mass
and
protests.
We
should
also,
as
part
of
that,
make
sure
that
we,
we
don't
forget
historical
context.
L
I
actually
think
that
this
is
part
of
several
ordinances
that
we're
dealing
and
trying
to
regulate
the
Ku,
Klux
Klan,
for
example,
and
why
you
would
want
to
make
sure
that
you
had
if
you're
going
to
come
out,
you
need
to
be
out
about
who
you
are,
but
at
the
same
time
we
shouldn't
assume
that
this
is
a
silver
bullet.
Nor
do
I,
think
you'd
you're,
saying
that
this
is
not
going
to
eliminate
violence
in
protesting
right,
I,
believe
a
man
who
was
open
about
his
hatred
for
people
of
color
drove
a
drove
his
car.
L
In
that
protest
and
I
think
in
Charlottesville
Virginia
right,
he
was
open
about
it.
They
had
the
tiki
torches,
I,
guess
and
you
can
see
their
faces
at
night.
I,
don't
know
what
the
heck
they
happened
for,
but
ultimately
people
have
been
open
about
their
hatred
before
so
this
is
not
and
I
don't
want
to
confuse
folks
either
saying
that
we're
doing
this
to
stop
violence
and
protests
right.
L
It
is
just
making
sure
that
if
you're
going
to
come
and
be
a
part
of
a
hard
difficult
conversations,
you
are
not
incentivized
to
do
more
stupid
stuff
right,
because
you're
able
to
hide
who
you
are
that's,
how
I
understand
this
conversation
to
be
and
I
think
it's.
It
is
important
to
make
sure
that
we
we
do
not
only
talk
about
the
constitutional
muster,
I
appreciate.
What's
his
name,
mister
I,
don't
know
whoever
his
name.
It
yeah.
J
L
Sure
yeah
I
appreciate
his
context
and
understanding
of
the
constitutional
muster
I
think
it's
still
worth
the
the
continued
conversation.
But
let's
add
also
to
that
conversation.
If
we're
gonna
talk
about
people's
faces
being
out
there
shouldn't,
we
also
be
considering
whether
we
should
be
regulating
surveillance
and
face
face
facial
recognition,
technology
as
well,
so
I
think
the
two
actually
marry
each
other.
If
we're
gonna
say
show
your
face,
do
we
as
a
body
also
say
we
would
use
this
the
facial
recognition
technology
to
make
sure
that
we
can
do
that?
L
I
know
our
our
sister
city,
Somerville,
is,
has
been
or
will
be,
banning
the
use
of
that
facial
recognition.
Technology
I
think
the
conversations
are
deeply
married
and
I
hope
that
that
can
be
part
of
that
conversation
with
the
several
invited
guests
that
you
have.
Excuse
me
speakers
that
you
have
for
the
hearing
so
again
I
sign
on
to
this.
L
It
is
the
conversation
that
we
need
to
have
about
what
is
affective
protest,
what
is
protest
within
the
First
Amendment,
and
also
making
sure
that
we
are
continuing
different,
difficult
dialogues
when
it
comes
to
public
safety
and
making
sure
that
we
are
actually
implementing
things
that
keep
us
safe
versus
things
regulating
speech.
So
thank
you
so
much
councillor,
McCarthy
Thank.
N
You,
madam
president,
I,
want
to
thank
her
good
colleague,
council
McCarthy,
for
bringing
this
forward.
I'll,
be
quite
honest
when
I
first
reviewed
the
agenda
for
this
week,
I
had
some
serious
concerns
about
this
hearing
order,
but
I've
done
some
historical
research.
Some
legal
research
and
you
know
I,
am
of
the
opinion
that
carefully
considered
carefully
drafted
and
I
think
outside
the
context
of
reacting
to
one
specific
event.
This
is
something
that
this
body
can
and
maybe
should
consider.
N
As
our
good
colleague
counselor
Edwards
mentioned
many
of
the
anti-mask
ordinances
and
laws
around
this
country
came
out
of
opposition
to
the
Ku
Klux
Klan
and
to
terrorism
that
was
happening
across
this
country,
but
I
want
to
reiterate
when
I
can't
say
this
strongly
enough
how
important
it
is
that
any
discussion
about
this,
not
just
for
constitutional
reasons,
because
just
because
something's
constitutional
doesn't
make
it
good
policy.
We
see
that
over
and
over
again,
but
if
we're
gonna
have
a
policy
on
this,
it
has
to
be
neutral.
A
law
of
this
sort
cannot
be
enforced.
N
Selectively
needs
to
be
enforced
fairly.
We
need
to
be
talking
about
exemptions
for
religious
belief,
sincerely
held
religious
beliefs
for
health
reasons.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
if
this
is
a
path
that
the
city
wants
to
even
explore,
we
do
it
thoughtfully
and
I
also
think
stating
it
as
a
reaction,
both
in
time
and
in
the
language
of
this
hearing
order
to
an
incident
that
happened
believe
two
weeks
ago
now,
the
so-called
straight
Pride
Parade.
Well,
there's
still
a
lot
of
tension.
N
Well,
there's
still
a
lot
of
discussion,
a
lot
of
confusion,
I
believe
we
have
another
gearing
order
coming
up
from
one
of
our
colleagues
about
that
today
is
not
the
appropriate
context
for
this
discussion.
I
think
is
going
to
lead
to
maybe
some
some
raise
temperatures
so
to
speak
when
we
could
otherwise
have
a
thoughtful
discussion.
So
I
want
to
commend
council
because
we're
bringing
this
forward.
N
It's
not
an
easy
discussion
to
have
you
know
the
city
of
Boston
has
a
long
history
of
mass
protesters
going
back
to
the
Sons
of
Liberty
and
the
Boston
Tea
Party.
It's
something
to
keep
in
context.
There
is
a
place
for
inanimate
II
in
political
discourse.
In
protest
and
before
I
ramble
on
and
on,
and
just
give
my
stream
of
consciousness
on
what
is
a
very
serious
and
timely
issue.
I
just
want
to
say
whatever
this
body
decides,
whether
we
move
forward
with
this
hearing.
N
If,
ultimately,
councillor
McCarthy
proposes
an
ordinance
for
me,
the
central
issues
are
going
to
be
neutrality
and
making
sure
that
this
body,
this
city,
exercises
its
oversight
to
make
sure
that
this
is
not
an
ordinance
or
law
that
is
used
to
discriminate.
Based
on
viewpoint
based
on
background
based
on
political
stance,
so
I'm
not
actually
gonna.
Add
my
name
right
now.
I
want
to
share
my
thoughts
on
this
and
my
thinking
moving
forward,
but
you
look
forward
to
participating
in
hearing.
Thank
you.
Thank.
N
I
But
most
important
is
public
safety.
When
we
think
about
our
roles
as
elected
officials
and
the
responsibility
that
we
have
to
our
constituents
to
our
residents
to
our
visitors
to
the
city,
public
safety
is
paramount,
so
keeping
keeping
that
the
religious
exemptions
on
the
table
and
making
sure
that
that's
a
part
of
this
conversation
is
really
important
to
me,
because
the
implications
can
be
needs
to
be
considered
for
this.
I
A
You
councillor
Baker
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter.
No,
madam
clerk,
if
you
could
add
councillor
Baker
councillor,
co-moh
councillor,
Edwards,
councillor,
sorry
George,
councillor
flame
councillor,
garrison!
Thank
you!
Sorry
about
that.
Appointing
you!
At
this
time,
docket
1
to
9
2
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
Public
Safety
in
criminal
justice.
A
A
A
B
A
Madam
clerk,
before
you
do
that
just
for
clarification
purposes,
if
there
are
no
objections,
actually
adding
these
three
late
filed
matters
to
the
agenda
and
just
for
clarification,
one
is
a
letter
from
our
colleague
about
his
absence.
Today.
Two
are
a
one:
is
a
hearing
order
and
the
other
is
a
resolution.
You
should
have
the
hearing
order
in
the
resolution
on
your
desk.
Does
everyone
have
a
copy
of
the
hearing
ordering
resolution?
A
B
City
councilor
at
large
Michael
priorities
yeah,
please
b5
that
I
will
not
be
no
attendance
during
today's
Boston
City
Council
meeting
on
Wednesday
September
11
2019,
due
to
a
long-standing
schedule,
commitment,
I,
respectfully:
ask
the
city
clerk
read
this
letter
into
the
public
record.
Thank
you
regards
Michael
Claire,
the.
B
Second
wave
file
matter
offered
by
councilor
Kim
Janie
water
for
hearing
regarding
public
safety,
public
demonstrations
and
assemblies
encounter
demonstrations,
whereas
in
light
of
recent
incident
at
the
straight
Pride
Parade
and
the
counter
protest
rally
in
ensuring
and
maintaining
the
safety
of
all.
Can
all
the
community
abiding
to
include
bystanders
participants,
counter
demonstrators
and
the
police
should
be
restated
priority
for
the
council.
B
A
A
friendly
reminder:
you
try
to
shy
away
from
late
files
just
because
they
don't
appear
on
the
agenda,
and
that
means
that
folks,
obviously
in
the
public,
don't
know
about
it
beforehand,
so
just
a
friendly
reminder
that
we
want
to
be
careful
about
late
files.
Councillor
Janie,
you
have
the
floor.
Thank
you.
So.
E
Much
Madam
President
as
I
rise
I
am
very
mindful
that
today
is
the
18th
anniversary
of
9/11,
and
we
saw
all
over
this
country
first
responders
in
New
York
and
at
the
Pentagon
respond
very
bravely
respond
to
what
at
that
time
was
very
unknown,
and
so
I
make
my
comments
in
that
context.
That
I
am
someone
who
deeply
respects
our
police
officers
and
you've
heard
many
comments
already
from
my
colleagues
and
I'm,
so
glad
that
there
are
representatives
that
are
still
here
in
the
chamber
today.
I
know
this
meeting
has
gone
on
long.
E
So
thank
you
for
being
here.
Thank
you
for
what
you
do
every
single
day
to
keep
us
safe,
I
believe
that
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
have
deeper
conversation,
and
we've
had
several
already
based
on
the
different
hearing,
orders
and
resolutions
that
have
been
introduced
today,
but
to
have
a
deeper
dive
one
around
how
we
do
more
to
build
community
and
build
trust,
I'm
deeply
concerned
that
we
often
talk
about
things
with
us
us
versus
them.
E
E
All
of
you
really
want
to
understand
what
the
protocols
are
when
dealing
with
large
crowds.
You
know
what,
when
is
it
appropriate
to
use
pepper
spray
when
it
is
appropriate
to
bring
in
riot
gear,
for
example,
and
I?
Think
that
is
an
important
conversation
and
it's
around
Public
Safety
it's
around
accountability
and
it
is
to
keep
all
of
us
safe.
I.
Do
not
condone
violence
in
any
form,
whether
directed
at
protesters
are
directed
at
police
officers.
E
I
think
none
of
us
are
here
saying
that
violence's
is
okay
and
I
know
that
our
police
officers
often
do
a
very
thankless
job.
Someone
one
of
you
already
mentioned,
I,
don't
know
if
it
was
Frank
or
Lydia
that
we
as
counselors
often
have
to
go
into
meetings
and
and
receive
a
lot
of
negative
energy
and
I'm
sure
that
our
police
officers
have
to
do
that
as
well.
E
Cameras
I
want
to
have
a
conversation
that
really
gets
at
getting
away
from
this
us-versus-them,
which
I
see
play
out
too
often,
I
think
we
obviously
all
need
to
feel
safe.
We
obviously
all
need
to
feel
like
we
can
voice
our
opinions,
whether
that
is
coming
to
testify
at
a
public
meeting
or
going
out
to
a
protest
rally.
E
So
I
hope
folks
will
sign
on
and
certainly
participate,
and
what
I
hope
will
be
a
meaningful
conversation
that
helps
us
all
understand
how
we
can
live
together
in
a
way.
That
is
not
this
us
versus
them
that
we
can
respect
our
First
Amendment
rights
and
that
we
can
also
respect
police
officers
as
they
try
to
do
a
difficult
job.
So,
thank
you
so
much.
A
Thank
You
councillor
Janey
anyone
else
looking
to
speak
on
this
matter
or
add
their
name.
Madam
Clerk,
if
you
could
add
councillor
Baker
councillor,
Edwards
councillor,
asabi
George,
councillor
Flynn.
At
this
time
the
first
late
file
matter
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
Public,
Safety
and
criminal
justice.
B
Offered
by
councillor
Kim
Jamie
resolution
is
supportive,
full-time
non-tenured
track
faculty
at
Boston
University,
whereas
the
adjunct
faculty
of
Boston
University
unionized
with
SEIU
Local
509
in
in
2015
and
are
currently
negotiating
the
second
contract.
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
Boston
City
Council
hereby
calls
on
Boston
University
to
agree
to
a
fair
and
equitable
contract
with
the
adjunct
faculty.
B
E
You
so
much
and
I
apologize
for
the
the
late
file
and
I'll
be
very
brief.
I
know
the
hour
is
late.
This
is
a
resolution
to
support
full-time
non
attract
faculty
at
Boston.
University
I
recently
did
one
for
Northeastern.
We
see
that
unionization
has
been
under
attack.
We've
already
heard
from
my
colleagues
around
support
for
local
26
and
why
that
was
important,
and
it
is
important
that
we
also
stand
with
workers
here
at
Boston,
University
and
so
I
offer
this
resolution
and
hope
that
my
colleagues
will
sign
on.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
councillor
Janey
anyone
else
looking
to

this
matter
or

Madam
Clerk,
if
you
could
please
add
councillor
Edwards
councillor,
asabi
George,
council,
whoo,
councillor
Zakim,
councillor,
Flynn,
councillor,
Baker,
councillor,
math,
council
McCarthy,
as
well
as

count
sapling.
Would
you
like
to
speak
on
the
matter.
D
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
want
to
thank
counselor,
Janie
foo
for
this
resolution.
I
think
any
time
a
group
of
workers
come
together
in
water,
organize
I
think
it's
in
the
best
interests
of
these
workers.
It
protects
them.
It
protects
their
family.
It
makes
our
city
stronger
unions,
help
build.
Our
city
unions
help
build
our
country
and,
with
with
with
unions,
it's
a
pathway
as
Jamie
and
council
Edward
said
it's
a
pathway
to
the
middle
class.
So
anytime,
a
group
of
workers
want
to
come
together
to
organize
I.
Think
it's
critical
that
we.

Thank
you,
madam

and
I
rise
today,
just
to
share
why
I
have
a
bunch
of
my
table.
A
councillor
Molly
and
I
this
morning
went
to
Davison
Savin
Cowan
florist
in
West,
Roxbury
they'd
have
for
18
years
now
in
today's
marks,
the
18th
anniversary
of
September
11th
by
chance
on
September
11th
2001.
They
were
hosting
a
good
neighbor
day
in
councillors,
geomos
district
when
they
had
a
shop
in
Brighton
or
Austin
Brighton,
and
it
it
really
is
this
wonderful
celebration
of
community
and
love
and
a
way
to
celebrate
good
neighbors.
I
What
has
always
happened
for
the
last
ten
years,
separate
from
the
events
of
September
11th,
the
attacks
of
September
11th
has
been
this
effort
by
a
local
business,
just
a
couple
that
wanted
to
share
some
some
good
cheer
and
love
with
with
their
neighbors,
so
14
thousand
roses
being
given
up
today.
Every
year
on,
September
11th
and
councilor
Molly
and
I
had
got
to
run
the
store
for
a
little
bit
this
morning
and
hand
out
roses,
so
just
wanted
to
share
that,
because
it
is
something
special
about
today.
I
E
A
We
always
love
seeing
her
at
the
council
Thank
You
councillor
Janey
at
this
time.
I
would
like
all
colleagues
and
guests
and
staff
to
please
rise,

adjourn
today's
meeting
in
memory
of
the
following
individuals
and
before
I
get
to
that
of
course
want
to
acknowledge,
but
it
is
the
18th
anniversary
of
September
11th
and
we
want
to
probably
take
a
longer
period
of
time
today
to
stand
in
silence.
