He
is
one
of
the
leaders
and
teachers
at
the
mosque
and,
along
with
over
hundreds
of
Muslims,
who
pray
and
learn
the
teachings
at
the
mosque
are
working
to
make
sure
that
this
is
not
just
a
space
for
for
faith
and
for
prayer,
but
also
for
a
community
and
and
everything
that
goes
along
with
it,
so
they're
working
very
hard
to
expand
that
space
and
continue
to
make
improvements

it.

I'd
love
to
just
give
like
a
two
minute
overview
of
what
we're
doing
in
that

So
the
striking
movements
cited
and
Sweden
last
year
with
a
16
year
old,
named
Greta
and
she
said
striking
in
front
of
Swedish
parliament.
The
sign
said
school
strike
for
climate
and
that's
really
grown
and
expanded
really
throughout
the
world
and
there's
been
some
major
strikes
that
have
happened
there.
F
All
on
Fridays,
some
people
shake
every
Friday
and
they've
all
been
school
strikes
so
far,
but
this
next
one
on
Friday
is
gonna,
be
a
general
strike,
so
we're
calling
on
everybody,
whether
you're,
three
or
your
99,
to
come
out
and
to
strike
with
us
to
really
demand
action
on
the
climate.
So
we're
really
excited
our
events
happening
right
outside
of
City
Plaza.
So
we're
super
excited
about
that
we're
expecting
about
10,000
people.

It
was

and
referred
to
the
committee
back
on
February
6th
and
being
a
citizen's
petition,
it's
being

advisory
question
on
the
ballot
for
the
November
5th
2019
municipal
election
to
rename
Dudley
square
to
Nubian

The
language
of
the
proposed
question
is:
do
you
support
the
renaming
/
changing
of
Dudley
square
to

square
question?

with

the
Board
of
Election
Commission's.
If
commissions
examined
and
certified
the
signatures
and
deemed
them
sufficient,
the
community
on
government
operations
held
a
public
hearing
on
August
the
28th.
K
At
the
hearing,
the
administration
testified
through
Jerome
Smith,
chief
of
civic
engagement,
as
well
as
a
needed
to
virus
interim
Commissioner,
as
well
as
Savino
P
Monti
assistant
register
of
Elections.
They
stated
that
while
the
administration
does
not
have
a
position
on
what
the
name
should
be,
but
they
do
support
the
efforts
of
the
roxbury
neighborhood,
they
refer
to
memorandum
prepared
by
the
cities.
Law
department.
Explain
that,
because
of
state
law,
the
question
must
be
a
citywide
and
cannot
be
a
district
for
neighborhood
vote.
K
They
also
explained
that
the
city
will
closely
examine
the
precincts
of
Roxbury
and
give
emphasis
to
those
precincts.
While
looking
at
the
data
members
of
the
Nubians
quia
coalition
offered
testimony
in
support
of
the
petition
in
the
name
change
because
of
the
history
of
discrimination
inequities
and
explain
that
the
name
of
the
commercial
district
should
be
representative
and
reflective
of
the
surrounding
community.
The
majority
of
the
public
comments
were
in
support
of
the
name
change.
However,
there
was
public
comment
supporting
changing
the
name
from
Dudley,
but
they
did
not
support
the
name
to
be
changed.
K
The
Nubians
square
overall
testimony
urged
the
City
Council
to
support
this
petition
and
have
a
placed
on
the
ballot
to
let
the
people
decide.
Therefore,
as
a
result,
is
the
chair
of
government
I
recommend
the
dark
at
zero.
Eight
three
zero
ought
to
pass
and
go
out
to
the
public
and
now,
through
the
chair,
turn
it
over
to
my
colleague
from
district
7
Kim
Janie.
If
she
has
any
additional
comments,
Thank.
L
You
so
much
I
have
some
assistance
here.
Helping
me
out.
I
first
want
to
thank
my
colleague
and
the
chair
of
the
committee
for
his
work.
I
want
to
thank
the
Coalition
for
their
work
and
their
organizing
efforts
and
I
want
to
highlight
and
recognize
and
thank
Jerome
Smith's
for
his
work
and
in
representing
the
mayor's
office
and
working
with
the
coalition
to
get
this
ballot
before
the
voters
in
November.
As
you've
already
heard,
a
very
thorough
report,
I
won't
say
much
only
that
I
urge
my
colleagues
to
join
me
and
supporting
this
resolution.
L
I
believe
strongly
that
the
residents
of
Roxbury
deserve
the
opportunity
to
determine
for
themselves
what
they
would
like
to
be
called,
and
so
this
ballot
question
will
give
them
the
opportunity
to
do
just
that
to
vote
on
November
5th
on
whether
or
not
they
want
to
change
the
name
from
Dudley
to
Nubian.
As
I've
said
it
several
times,
I
remain
focused
on
really
trying
to
change
the
conditions
and
make
sure
that
we're
doing
all
we
can
to
improve
the
life
outcomes
and
opportunities
economic
opportunities
for
people
in
the
district.

of
Boston
to
accept
a
donation
of
sculpture
from
the
Boston
Properties
purpose.
Prue
Center
acquisition,
LLC,
the
sculpture
is
appraised
at
360
thousand
dollars.
The
sculpture
is
described
as
follows:
the
quest
eternal
by
Donald
Alou,
the
sculpture,
is
approximately
27
feet
in
height
and
made.
L
L
Many
of
you
may
know
this
statue
is
the
big
naked
guy
in
front
of
the
Prudential
and
if
you're
wondering
what
happened
to
him,
if
you
missed
the
hearing,
he
will
be
placed
in
a
park
in
Austin,
so
I'm
glad
to
know
that
we
know
where
this
statue
is
and
that
we
can
receive
this
gift.
If
we
pass
this,
which
I
will
ask
for
you
to
do,
I
recommend
that
this
order
out
of
pass
so
that
we
can
receive
this
gift.
L
I'm
hopeful
that
we
will
have
much
more
robust
discussion,
but
I
think
it
is
great
to
receive
this
gift
that
there
has
been
a
community
engagement
process
with
neighbors
who
were
already
discussing
the
redesign
of
this
Park,
and
so
I
am
asking
based
on
the
hearing,
based
on
everything
we
heard
from
the

I
asking
all
of
you
to
pass
this
matter.

K
We
also
heard
from
rich
McGinnis
deputy
director
of
climate
change,
who
spoke
on
behalf
of
the
administration,
explaining
that
these
issues
touch
upon
article
97
of
the
Commonwealth's
Constitution
regarding
protected
open
space.
We
hear
it
from
utility
companies
that
had
some
concerns
around
sections
of
the
home
rule
as
it
pertains
to
liability.
We
also
heard
from
the
former
City
Council
Larry
dakara,
who
is
the
attorney
of
record
for
capital
properties
who
provided
a
history
of
the
area
as
well
as
the
building's
noting
that
the
buildings
are
over
200
years
old.
K
They
predate
the
be
IRA
ownership
of
Long
Wharf
and
his
dignity,
and
it's
also
as
as
its
designation
as
protected
Park
space.
He
also
elaborated
on
the
legislative
process,
noting
that
the
state's
executive
office
of
energy
and
environment
dolfe
is
advised
that
the
proposed
easements
require
a
bill
enacted
by
both
the
house
in
the
senate
via
a
two-thirds
vote
and
because
the
topic
of
discussion
is
a
parcel
of
land
owned
by
the
city
of
boston.
Through
the
VRA,
a
Home
Rule
petition
has
been
filed.
It
clearly
underscores
exactly
what
the
problem
is.
K
That's
why
we
have
to
continue
to
go
up
there
to
get
liquor
license
and
everything
else.
This
sort
of
is
the
crux
of
how
sort
of
backwards
some
of
this
stuff
is.
So
the
committee
also
discussed
and
addressed
the
identification
of
apostle
scope
for
the
project
utility
company
stated
in
the
legislation
and
whether
approval
was
needed
from
the
National
Park
Service,
or
not
the
feasibility
of
the
timeline
of
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
with
respect
to
the
legislative
process
and,
lastly,
the
community
process
in
the
North
End.
K
They
represent
a
documentation
with
the
VRA,
as
well
as
the
National
Park
Service,
stating
that
they
that
they
were
they
were
respectful
of
that
process
and
at
the
time,
given
the
concerns
and
understanding
the
urgency
of
an
80,000
square
foot.
Building
that's
about
to
be
fully
tented
in
the
very
near
future
and
don't
have
a
certificate
of
occupancy
because
they
don't
have
to
sign
off
on
these
utilities.
Sort
of
time
is
of
the
essence.
K
That
said,
we
requested
that
they
go
back
out
and
speak
to
folks
from
the
community
just
to
give
them
the
full
scope
of
what
is
necessary
in
a
which
case
I'm,
asking
that
at
remaining
committee
for
a
short
period
of
time
and
threw
the
chair
off
of
my
district
colleague
and
opportunity
to
weigh
in
as
well.
Thank
you,
Thank.
M
You
very
much
I
want
to
thank
councilor
ferdi
for
holding
a
very
efficient
and
fair
hearing.
I
want
to
also
thank
councilor
breaker
for
coming
there
as
well
and
asking
great
questions.
The
issue
before
us
for
for
us
yesterday
is
that
there
was
a
lot
of
things
that
was
missing
before
even
the
hearing
one
we
found
out
during
the
hearing
that
we
didn't
even
have
the
complete
language
of
the
proposed
ordinance.
So
we
got
that
from
one
of
the
cable
companies
that
came
in.
M
The
other
thing
that
we
found
out
is
that
there
no
one
has
any
plans.
We
actually
don't
know
what
the
plans
are
and
where
the
utility
lines
are
going
to
go,
why
the
utility
lines
are
inefficient.
So
there's
a
lot
of
questions
still
before
us
and
I
think
for
many
of
us
our
meet
myself.
Particular
there
was
a.
Why
didn't
they
go
to
the
community
at
all
to
present
that
this
is
something
that
they
want
to
do.
I
understand.
M
The
time
is
of
the
essence
now,
but
when
they
talked
about
how
they
went
to
the
National
Park
Service's
in
June
and
July
the
it
really
does.
Considering
that
the
community
groups
have
monthly
meetings,
why
they
didn't
reach
out
before
then
I
think
the
architect
was
very
honest.
He
just
didn't
think
that
he
had
to
do
it
and
I
respect
the
fact
that
he
was
doing
his
best
for
any
for
his
clients.
M
So
I
push
back
on
that
saying:
that's
probably
not
a
realistic
deadline
anyway.
So
in
the
time
that
you're
going
to
have
in
order
to
get
all
that,
why
don't
you
go
back
up
to
the
community
councillor
Baker
suggested
and
I
thought
there
was
a
really
great
suggestion
out
of
fairness
and
understanding
the
urgency,
one
of
the.
M
If
there
is
an
executive
session
that
one
of
the
community
groups
could
have,
one
does
have
an
executive
session
that
fell
within
this
time
frame,
the
other
one
and
does
not,
but
if
they're
willing
to
combine
and
do
that
and
I
noted
that
that's
a
favor
of
volunteers
that
regularly
meet
to
adjust
their
schedule
to
try
and
see
if
these
they
can
get
their
utility
this
home
roll
past
or
you
certainly
if
they
can
at
least
present
to
the
community
groups.
The
other
concern
that
I
have
is
and
councillor
Flaherty
raised
it.
M
But
I
want
to
reiterate
this.
The
home
Leticia,
which
was
new
to
me,
is
already
naming
the
future
clients
and
the
cable
companies
of
who
automatically
get
to
have
the
bid
for
the
late
for
the
lines
and
when
we
asked
councillor
Takara
our
former
councillor
Dirk
our
excuse
me.
He
mentioned
that
they
were
the
only
ones
who
seemed
to
express
interest.
So
I
thought
that
was
interesting.
They
were
legislating.
M
C
A
You
counselor
CMO,
so
this
is
the
official
ordinance
draft
ordinance
to
introduce
the
idea
of
the
inspector
general
I.
Think
many
have
seen
my
sort
of
releases
related
to
this
idea.
I'm
excited
to
have
a
conversation
with
each
and
every
one
of
you
I
think
we
all
agree
that
Boston
deserves
a
city
government
that
is
free
of
corruption,
waste
grounded
in
transparency
and
accountable
to
the
people
and
I.
Don't
know
about
many
of
you,
but
I've
received
a
lot
of
calls
with
respect
to
development
projects.
A
The
CBA
also
concerns
around
the
conviction
of
a
former
city
employee
related
to
bribery,
but
I
want
to
be
clear
that
this
idea
related
to
an
Inspector
General
has,
while
it
does
pertain
to
that.
It's
not
rooted
in
being
responsive
or
reactive.
To
that
it's
an
idea
that
I
heard
at
a
council
presidents
conference
some
time
ago.
Right
now
in
34
states
across
the
country,
there
there's
an
inspector
general,
whether
at
the
state
level,
the
county
level
or
the
municipal
level
I'm.
A
In
a
couple
of
the
cities,
including
Baltimore,
for
example,
Chicago
New
York,
the
role
of
the
inspector
general
is
to
ensure
that
there
is
a
government
that
is
free
of
corruption,
grounded
in
transparency
and,
of
course,
accountable
to
the
residents.
So
for
me,
this
role
is
not
just
to
say
that
we
have
a
government
that
is
loaded
with
corruption.
That's
not
the
case.
I
think
we
all
would
agree
with
that.
A
While
there
are
some
concerns
and
some
incidents
that
have
occurred
recently,
that
we
should
all
be
concerned
about,
we
Boston
is
different
than
other
cities
in
terms
of
how
our
government
functions.
So
I
just
want
to
make
that
clear
that,
for
me,
this
position
is
about
bringing
in
someone
who
can
proactively
not
reactively,
look
at
our
departments
how
they
spend
their
money.
A
Look
at
our
policies
and
practices
that
are
supposed
to
ensure
transparency
and
accountability,
as
well
as
making
sure
that
we
have
good
governments
and
good
governance
and
good
management,
and
that
those
policies
that
are
in
paper
well-intentioned
actually
show
up
in
reality
with
actually
having
good
governance
and
accountability
and
transparency
for
our
residents.
It's
also
about
ensuring
that
we
don't
have
waste.
For
example,
I
know
through
many
budget
hearings.
We
have
talked
about
concerns
related
to
some
departments
that
spend
money,
and
sometimes
we
wonder
what
that
money
is
being
spent
on.
A
How
is
it
being
used?
So
this
position
is
our
office?
Is
a
position
in
an
office
that
I
think
can
begin
to
proactively
look
at
where
we
can
do
better
with
respect
to
our
financial
management
to
ensure
we
don't
have
waste
where
we
can
do
better
with
respect
to
our
policies
and
practices
that
are
supposed
to
ensure
transparency
and
accountability
and
where
we
can
do
better
in
terms
of
management,
and
you
know,
I
saw
the
employees
do
a
lot
every
single
day,
I
often
say
that
our
city
employees
are
overworked
and
underpaid.
A
It
can
be
really
challenging
to
take
the
time
that
is
necessary
to
ensure
that
we
are
being
fair
in
our
processes
that
our
processes
are
equitable
for
residents
in
the
city
of
Boston.
So
this
office
could
proactively
work
with
those
employees
work
with
those
departments
to
ensure
that
they
are
actually
doing
their
jobs
really
well.
A
The
concept
in
the
ordinance
you
will
see
it's
just
that
it's
a
draft
I
look
forward
to
conversations
not
only
with
my
colleagues
with
the
administration
who
am
early
in
contact
with,
as
well
as
residents
in
the
city
of
Boston,
to
make
this
as
perfect
as
possible
in
the
ordinance
in
the
draft.
I
call
for
an
inspector
general
that
is
appointed
by
an
advisory
board
in
other
cities,
sometimes
is
appointed
by
the
mayor.
Sometimes
it's
appointed
by
the
council.
A
A
So
in
the
ordinance
there
is
language
around
an
advisory
board
of
seven
members,
one
appointment
by
the
mayor,
one
by
the
council,
president
won
by
the
chair
of
Ways
and
Means,
also
pulling
in
our
city
auditor
as
well
as
Corporation
Counsel
for
an
appointment
and
then
having
a
public
application
process.
Probably
that
could
be
similar
to
how
we
did
the
CPA
to
pull
folks
from
the
city
of
Boston
to
also
play
a
role
in
appointing
an
inspector
general.
The
term
of
the
inspector
general
says
five
years.
That
is
intentional.
A
It
is
supposed
to
go
past
the
term
of
the
mayor,
with
the
hopes
that
this
person
will
not
be
accountable,
of
course,
to
the
mayor
or
the
council,
but
really
to
the
community
and
can
do
their
work
without
a
political
interfere
man.
The
IG,
it
also
says,
should
not
be
removed
for
any
reason,
but
for
cause.
It
also
talks
about
the
role
that
the
council
will
play
in
ensuring
that
that
can
happen,
or
that
happens.
The
ordinance
also
speaks
to
the
budget
for
this
office,
and
this
is
a
place
I've
heard
and
gotten
different
responses.
A
We
could
have
it
within
the
city
of
Boston's
budget,
with
a
minimum
percentage
from
each
department
contributing
to
this
office,
or
we
could
look
to
do
something
different,
where
it's
actually
not
within
the
city
of
Boston's
budget
I've,
gotten
some
creative
ideas
from
community
with
respect
to
that,
so
that
this
office
is
truly
independent.
Even
in
its
financial
means,
so
there
is
a
lot
of
ideas
floating
or
writing
since
releasing
the
ordinance
that
I
am
open
to.
A
But
the
goal
of
this
office
of
this
person,
who
was
ultimately
selected
to
take
on
this
role,
is
to
ensure
that
we
as
electives
not
only
are
delivering
good
governance
to
the
residents
in
the
city
of
Boston,
but
that
we're
allowing
them
tools
and
mechanisms
to
hold
us
all
accountable
and
the
work
that
we
do
every
day
and
to
do
it
in
such
a
way
that
it
truly
is
independent.
That
is
accountable
to
residents
and
I'll.
A
Give
you
one
example:
many
of
the
recent
concerns
related
to
the
CBA
we've
gone
to
outside
legal
counsel,
and
that
decision
is
not
made
by
councilors
it's
not
made
by
the
public.
It's
an
investigation
that
is
happening
within
the
walls
of
a
law
firm.
They
are
not
required
to
give
updates
to
this
body
or
to
the
residents.
These
are
costly
transactions.
I
know,
because
I
used
to
be
in
the
private
sector
for
a
little
bit
and
it's
expensive
to
run
an
investigation
out
of
a
law
firm.
A
So
there's
a
lot
that
we
could
do
in
this
office
to
ensure
that
this
city
and
the
residents
in
it
get
the
best
government
and
the
government
they
deserve,
and
do
it
in
such
a
way
that
it
is
a
transparent,
accountable,
efficient,
effective
and,
most
importantly,
powerful,
probably
saves
residents
money
which
I
think
we
all
care
about
as
fiscal
stewards
of
the
City
of
Boston.
And
lastly,
it's
a
draft
so
I
encourage
folks
to
not
only
reach
out
to
me,
as
I
already
have
been,
with
their
suggestions
on
how
to
make
this
work.
A
The
same
with
my
colleagues
as
well
as
the
administration
and
I
wanted
to
make
it
crystal
clear
that,
while
we
are
seeing
its
issues
in
the
news
that
are
concerning,
this
has
not
have
to
anything
to
do
with
the
extortion
case,
for
example,
that
we
were
talking
about
in
terms
of
to
employees.
This
is
separate,
and
apart
from
that,
don't
get
me
wrong.
The
bribery
conviction,
I
think
took
us
all
by
shocked
us
all,
and
it's
something
that
is
extremely
concerning
bribery
is
corruption,
but
I.
A
Don't
think
that
we
should
equate
that
with
an
administration
or
a
government
that
is
corrupt,
but
it
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
learn
from
our
mistakes,
to
look
to
do
better
and
to
put
forth
ideas
and
concepts
that
can
ensure
that
we
don't
get
these
incidents
going
forward
and
that's
what
this
conversation
should
be
about.
I
know
we
often
want
to
pit
elections
against
each
other.
That's
not
what
this
is.
A
This
is
an
opportunity
to
work
together
to
create
create
a
position
in
an
office
that
can
work
in
preventive
May
to
ensure
that
we
all
are
great
at
what
we
do
and,
lastly,
I
just
want
to
give
a
plug
and
a
thanks
to
Michelle
from
central
staff
for
working
with
me
on
this
ordinance
and
going
through
all
the
various
ordinance
from
the
various
municipalities
across
the
country
and
look
forward
to
the
feedback
of
my
colleagues
and
having
a
timely
hearing.
Thank
you.
Thank.
M
You
and
I
wanted
to
commend
the
maker
honestly
I
think
this
is
an
excellent
piece
of
legislation,
so
please
certainly
add
my
name
to
it.
I
also
wanted
to
note
that
myself,
councillors
am
and
also
councillor
Campbell.
We
had
previously
introduced
a
hearing
order
on
looking
at
an
in
creating
an
independent
commission
to
do
investigations
and
created
to
create,
or
to
excuse
me
to
have
subpoena
powers
and
to
actually
delve
into
the
long
systemic
biases
and
concerns
in
the
city
of
Boston.
So
I
think
these.
These
are
not
contrary
conversations.
M
They
might
even
be
a
combined
conversation
if
we
have
that
hearing
already
planned
or
to
look
at
how
we
can
make
sure
that
we're
truly
looking
at
ways
in
which
we
are
holding
ourselves
accountable,
I
think
I
want
to
commend
the
mayor
for
his
already
stepping
forward
on
parts
of
the
systemic
concerns
when
it
comes
to
gender
and
race
by
helping
to
really
push
for
the
HRC,
the
Human
Rights
Commission,
to
get
started
again.
That
also
has
subpoena
powers.
M
I
think
this
is
dealing
with
the
other
end
of
other
things
that
we
want
to
investigate,
including
corruption.
This
is
an
excellent
piece
of
ordinance.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that,
when
we're
discussing
this,
however,
we're
also
making
sure
that
we,
by
the
way
I've
already
had
people,
apply
for
the
job.
So.
H
M
Been
received
very
well
by
folks
in
my
in
my
district,
but
I
want
to
be
clear
that
to
make
sure
that
it's
not
politically
motivated
and
that
people
aren't
burdened
by
false
accusations
which
result
in
them
Anthony
out
there
in
box
and
having
to
deal
with
harassment,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
neutral
and
accessible
access
point.
Is
it
by
complaint
that
folks
are
coming
in?
What's
the
jurisdiction?
Is
it
just
for
city
of
Boston
folks
to
talk
about
the
city
of
Boston?
M
Is
it
anyone
from
around
the
country
who
could
file
a
concern
or
complaint
and
basically
hold
this
person
this
office
and
our
budget?
You
know
hostage
while
they
investigate
for
years
and
years
and
years
and
years-
and
you
know,
there's
some
people
who
would
look
forward
to
being
able
to
a
huge
amount
of
complaints
and
concerns.
M
So
what's
the
access
point,
what's
the
jurisdiction,
I
I
do
appreciate
the
fact
that
there's
a
term
limit
I,
don't
think
that
you
had
mentioned
that,
but
it
does
assert
that
a
person
will
do
about
ten
years
and
it
doesn't
matter
who
the
administration
is
I.
Think
that's
excellent.
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
and
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
actually
the
way
in
which
the
person
can
be
removed.
M
It's
by
two-thirds
of
the
vote
of
the
City
Council,
though,
is
the
city,
the
councilor,
the
mayor
or
anyone
can
prompt
that,
but
I
do
want
to
delve
into
the
four
cause
if
there's
other
reasons
that
might
warrant
this
person
being
removed,
I
just
also
think
it's
really
key,
not
only
looking
at
how
we're
gonna
fund
this,
but
where
we're
gonna
hold
it.
Is
it
going
to
be
here
on
the
fifth
floor
in
this
building?
M
Is
it
going
to
be
someplace
else
where
there's
a
true
independence,
and
how
do
we
make
sure
that
the
that
we
don't
have
conflicts
of
interest?
So
I
think
this
is
a
great
conversation.
I'm
excited
to
be
about
it,
I,
don't
think
this
has
anything
to
do
with
any
case
pending
or
any
of
the
other
issues.
I
think
we
need
a
period,
and
this
is
about
us
being
good
government
and
not
being
afraid
of
being
held
accountable.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
We.
N
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
rise
in
opposition
to
an
orange
establishing
an
office
of
inspector
general
in
the
city
of
Boston.
We
already
have
an
IG,
Inspector
General
for
federal
government.
We
have
an
IG
and
expected
government
general
for
state
governments.
Why
do
we
need
and
argue
for
municipal
governance?
If
we
have
this
money,
we
can
take
this
money
and
give
on
taxpayer
attacks
per.
Thank
you
Thank.
O
You,
mr.
vice
president,
although
I
can
understand
what
the
lead
sponsor
is
looking
to
do
here,
I
do
think
that,
as
as
someone's
been
in
the
city
for
30
plus
years
dealing
with
city
departments,
I
think
it
doesn't
fir
that
there's
a
lot
of
people
in
the
city
that
that
are
dirty
or
on
the
take.
Whatever
don't
forget,
I
think
it's
99
point
some
of
the
people
who
have
come
in
they
do
they
work.
They
work
hard.
I.
O
Just
think
that
an
office
like
this
could
really
grind
the
daily
workings
of
the
city
to
a
halt.
Because
now
you're
rank-and-file
is
gonna,
say:
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
what
I
can
do.
I
have
someone
looking
over
my
shoulder
every
all
day,
not
necessarily
totally
opposed
to
it,
but
looking
forward
to
the
hearing
will
sign
on,
but
but
I'm
coming
from
a
point
where
I'm
not
sure
that
we
need
this,
it
could
be
redundant.
The
previous
council
talked
about.
O
We
have
an
IG
IG
at
the
state
level
in
and
even
how
do
we
pay
for
this?
You
know
this
is
this?
Is
an
office,
it's
gonna
cost
at
least
a
million
dollars
at
least
a
million
dollars
and
I
will
get
back
to
the
print
department.
We
were
closed
over
a
million
dollars
hate
to
bring
it
up
again.
Mister
a
million
dollars
a
lot
of
work,
no
longer
doing
printing
for
the
city
manufacturing
job.
So
now
we're
gonna.
P
Mr.
vice
president
I
rise
to
commend
the
maker
and
the
council
president
for
her
leadership.
You
know:
I've
read
through
this
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
solid
smart
well
put
together
sort
of
potential
in
in
place
here
and
support
everything.
Obviously
we
can
do
to
increase
transparency
and
openness
and
ask
that
my
name
be
add
and
look
forward
to
participating
in
the
hearing
shortly.
Thank.
A
L
I
rise
to
to
commend
the
maker,
thank
you
so
much
for
putting
this
forward
I
think
as
a
city,
and
this
is
not
to
point
fingers
about
any
individuals
or
to
somehow
create
an
environment
where
people
would
feel
like
they
couldn't
do
their
work,
I
think
it
what
it
does.
It
helps
us
do,
government
better.
It
helps
us
be
make
sure
that
we
have
things
in
place,
we'll
ensure
accountability
and
transparency.
So
please
add
my
name.
Thank
you.
He's.
A
A
At
the
same
time,
what
I've
noticed
and
I've
had
some
discussions
with
some
city
employees
is
some
of
our
departments
will
hire
an
external
auditor
to
come
in
to
make
sure
their
practices
are
great.
Some
will
go
out
and
bring
in
a
consultant
to
help
them
be
more
accountable
or
transparent
in
their
processes
in
their
work.
They
don't
necessarily
have
someone
on
staff
that
helps
them
to
do
that.
So
I
think
there's
a
cost
savings.
If
we
bring
that
back.
A
I
absolutely
know:
there's
a
cost
savings
if
we're
not
always
doing
external
investigations
through
private
law
firms,
so
I.
A
part
of
this
conversation
will
absolutely
be
about
the
money
but
I
like
to
think
that
we
might
actually
save
money
by
creating
this
office
to
work
in
partnership
hand-in-hand
with
our
residents
not
to
be
lurking
over
the
shoulder
someone
or
to
see
their
role
as
sort
of.
Let
me
go
out
and
get
you
that's
not
what
this
should
be
designed
to
be.
A
It
should
be
someone
who
is
working
in
partnership
with
every
single
employee
to
ensure
that
we're
all
delivering
good
government
governance
and
helping
us
do
that
with
special
skill
sets
that
this
person
may
have
in
resources
and
other
things
and
then
who
can
consistently
and
proactively.
Look
at
that
across
the
board.
A
I
just
wanted
to
add
that,
because
there
are
some
concerns
and
calls
that
I've
gotten
from
from
even
city
employees
who
love
the
idea
but
had
thoughts
and
I
want
to
stress
the
the
value
of
the
people
that
show
up
in
this
building
and
others
to
do
the
work
for
this
city
every
single
day
that
that
should
not
be
undermining
this
conversation.
Nor
should
we
also
make
this
about
some
corrupt
government,
because
that's
not
what
we
have.
It
really
is
about
good
governance,
transparency
being
proactive
and
being
the
best
elected
in
public
servants.
C
A
I
You,
madam
president,
Madam
President
I
called
for
this
hearing,
because
pedestrian
safety
is
an
important,
significant
issue,
not
just
in
my
district
but
throughout
the
city
I
also
added
councillor,
Janie
she's
done
a
lot
of
great
work
on
the
pedestrians
or
irrigated
issues,
as
have
all
my
colleagues
as
well
as
the
city
administration,
vision,
zero
is
critical
for
our
city.
We
want
to
make
sure
our
roads,
our
streets,
our
sidewalks,
are
as
safe
as
they
possibly
can
for
pedestrians,
especially
for
our
seniors
for
persons
with
disabilities.
I
We
see
a
lot
of
parents
walking
their
children
to
school
in
the
morning.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
they
can
arrive
at
school
as
safe
as
we
can.
We
also
had
several
tragedies
over
the
last
over
the
last
year,
in
my
district
and
throughout
the
city.
Some
of
it
had
to
do
with
speeding
some
of
it
had
to
do
with
infrastructure
improvements
that
need
to
be
made.
I
Some
of
it
has
to
do
with
signaling
I've
worked
with
counselor
Baker,
trying
to
reduce
the
speed
limit
from
25
to
20
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
council
Baker
for
his
for
his
work.
We
are
making
improvements,
we're
20
miles
an
hour
would
be
appropriate,
especially
in
and
around
schools
in
and
around
elderly
developments
as
well.
I
I
represent
oblige
a
lot
of
constituents
that
are
also
seniors,
as
I
mentioned
before
and
at
times
when
they're
crossing
the
street
in
the
morning
to
get
the
newspaper
again,
milk
or
bread,
they
don't
feel
confident
or
safe,
because
the
cars
speeding
so
fast
I
was
yesterday
morning.
I
was
at
the
Leduc
district,
with
Sophia
from
my
office
with
Sajit
Moy,
and
we
were
on
Lincoln
Street
and
people
are
coming
off
the
highway
going
to
going
up.
I
Lincoln
Street
heading
towards
the
downtown
area
in
the
coming
off
that
highway
at
a
high
rate
of
speed,
sometimes
50
miles
an
hour
and
that's
a
residential
neighborhood,
the
leather
district
connecting
Chinatown
so
pedestrian
safety
is
probably
the
issue
that
I've
focused
most
on
it's
critical
for
improving
pedestrian
safety
for
everybody
vision.
Zero
is
critical.
I
came
out
with
the
12-point
plan
last
year.
Some
of
it
was
implemented
by
the
city
administration,
so
I
want
to
thank
them
for,
but
we
need
to
do
more.
We
need
more
speed.
Humps.
We
need
more,
stop
signs.
I
We
need
to
slow
the
traffic
down.
We
need
to
pump
out
sidewalks.
We
need
to
put
the
road
on
a
diet
and
we
need
more
beacon,
lights,
flashing
lights,
making
sure
that
our
signals
working
appropriately
I,
don't
like
the
fact
that
at
times
there
are
signals
across
the
city
where
a
pedestrian
can
walk
across
the
street
in
a
crosswalk
and
the
vehicle
can
go
at
the
same
time,
I
want
to
ask
our
city
Department
of
Transportation.
I,
already
have
asked
them
and
I'm
working
with
them
on
it
to
take
a
closer
look.
I
At
that
scenario,
it's
a
it's
a
it's
unsafe
in
my
opinion
and
I
want
every
intersection
across
our
city
to
at
least
be
checked
to
see
if
that
scenario
is
taking
place,
but
to
make
improvements
based
on
the
recommendations
in
advice
of
people
that
have
more
experience
on
it
than
I.
Do
we
also
have
a
lot
of
uber
left
across
our
city?
Where
are
they
picking
people?
Where
are
they
dropping
the
mouth?
I
Do
we
have
a
safe
place
for
our
residents
to
get
into
these
vehicles
to
get
out
of
the
vehicles
and
I
I
want
to
work
closely
with
the
city
administration,
as
I
have
been
over
the
last
two
years,
as
as
my
council
colleagues
have
been
for
many
years
in
improving
our
safe,
the
safety
of
everybody
in
our
city
again,
this
is
a
critical
issue.
I
focus
on
this
every
day.
As
do
my
count,
my
council
colleagues.
I
Last
night,
we
had,
unfortunately
another
accident
on
L
Street
in
South
Boston
that
I
want
to
work
closely
again
with
what
the
city
to
reduce
that
speed
on
our
on
our
neighborhoods
of
Boston.
With
that
matter,
president
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time
and
again
want
to
say
thank
you
to
councillor
Janey
for
her
tremendous
leadership
on
this
issue
for
many
years.
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank.
L
And
by
just
thanking
my
good
friend
and
colleague,
counselor
Flynn
for
his
leadership
on
this
issue,
he
is
always
speaking
up
for
seniors
in
our
city
for
young
people,
children
and
those
with
disabilities.
On
this
issue
and
you've
already
heard
him
say
that
he's
looking
to
examine
the
speed
limit,
we
had
a
hearing
last
year,
I
believe
on
that.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
join
with
you.
This
is
a
really
important
issue.
L
It
affects
many
of
us
in
this
city,
particularly
as
our
neighborhoods
are
becoming
more
and
more
dense
through
development
as
more
construction
is
underway.
There
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
put
things
in
place.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
chief
Osgood
for
his
good
work,
and
his
team
they've
been
working
closely,
certainly
with
my
office
as
I'm
sure,
with
many
of
you
around
different
things
in
our
districts.
One
thing
I
would
highlight
in
particular,
was
a
crosswalk
that
I
was
able
to
get
for
some
seniors
in
my
district
on
Walkman
Street.
L
L
We
often
talk
about
transportation
in
our
system,
our
roads
through
a
Carlin's,
and
it's
important
that
we
understand
that
there
are
many
other
people
who
travel
on
our
streets
who
are
not
in
cars,
but
they
are
walking
or
they're
taking
a
bus,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
our
streets
and
sidewalks
are
safe
for
them.
So
again,
I.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership
council,
councillor,
Flynn
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
our
good
work
on
this
issue.
Thank
you.
Thank.
O
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
want
to
thank
council
Clinton
for
his
tireless
work
here.
We've
been
asking
for
through
this
vision,
zero
went
through
the
legislation
that
lowered
the
speed
limit.
We've
been
asking
for
speed,
lumps
bumps
humps
raised
sidewalks,
something
anything
we
can
get.
Hopefully
we
can
get
some
of
these
just
to
make
a
point.
O
Council
used
the
word
accident,
the
word
police
might
be
after
you
supposed
to
use
crash,
I,
guess
and
with
that
crosswalk
you
got
there
the
other
day
that
that
new
IG
might
have
an
issue
with
you
jump
in
the
line
on
that.
So
just
a
couple
points
I
wanted
to
make.
You
know
if
you
called
in
a
favor
that
might
be
a
problem
with
this.
No
ieg
I
just
want
to.
Let
you.
A
A
Q
You,
madam
chair
and
please
add
my
name:
I
just
rise
to
support
councillor
Flynn
and
councillor
Janie's
hearing
order,
I
think
says
it's
really
important.
It's
a
council
Baker's
point
about.
In
my
ideal
city
we
have
raised
crosswalks,
especially
in
front
of
our
playgrounds,
elementary
school
and
senior
centers
I.
Think
as
we've
raised
up
little
ones
and
those
who
we
all
will
lose
a
few
inches
I
think
as
we
age,
but
before
a
wheelchairs
are
using
walkers
or
walking
a
little
bit
slowly.
It's
it's
important
to
raise
us
up.
Q
I
think
it's
it's
a
big
part
of
why
so
many
of
us,
including
myself,
advocated
for
establishing
or
refunding
the
class
data
analyst
to
PPD
and
BTD
this
this
that
position,
I,
don't
think,
has
been
filled.
Yet
it's
critical
to
get
to
that
point
and
include
that
data
in
this
conversation.
But
we
don't
need
to
study
this
issue
anymore.
We.
Q
Some
significant
improvements
across
the
city
to
create
a
create
a
safer
City
for
all
of
our
residents,
both
pedestrian
bicycles
and
vehicle
drivers,
the
alike
it's
important,
let's
get
to
it,
let's
stop
studying
it.
Let's
put
some
more
paint
down,
let's
raise
some
crosswalks
and
put
the
protections
in
place
where
our
residents
need.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Thank,.
J
You
very
much,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
on
council,
Flynn
and
Janey
for
this.
The
one
thing
that
is
happening
around
a
dovetail
off
of
what
my
good
friend
from
Dorchester
just
stated
is
the
reality
that
we've
had
enough
studies.
We
know
how
to
fix
things.
The
biggest
issue
in
a
district
office
is
people
going
too
fast
or
people
not
going
at
all.
It's
got
to
be
a
happy
medium
there
and
the
reality
is
when
I
was
in
Public
Works,
we
were
sued
by
the
federal
government
for
a
DA
compliant
sidewalks.
J
We
had
to
come
up
with
a
plan.
We
came
up
with
a
plan.
It
was
a
ten
million
dollar
over
seven
year
plan,
something
like
that
and
we're
fixing
all
the
pedestrian
ramps
throughout
the
city.
You
see
them
all
getting
redone,
we
don't.
We
shouldn't,
have
to
be
forced
by
the
federal
government
to
do
this.
This
is
gonna.
Take
money.
I
won't
be
here
next
budget
season.
Having
said
that,
it's
gonna
take
money
and
it
comes
to
the
point
where
we
really
need
a
full
plan.
J
We've
been
talking
about
speed
humps
for
years,
not
speed,
bumps
or
not.
Speed
strips
speed,
humps
we've
been
talking
about
the
reflective
radar
signs.
I
have
a
couple
in
High
Park
in
Mattapan
and
Roz
Neil
I'd
love
to
have
more
I've
noticed
that
they
are
very
they're.
Successful
I've
been
behind
people
on
Austin
Street
who
see
they're
going
42
miles
an
hour,
who've
tapped
the
brakes
and
slowed
down.
We
know
for
a
fact
they
were,
but
it's
gonna
take
some
money,
so
I
urge
the
City
Council
next
year's
budget
season.
J
I've
sat
on
that
side
of
the
table
when,
when
the
City
Council
would
ask,
are
actually
mark
co-moh
would
ask
hey
you
know:
do
you
have
enough
money
in
your
department
and
I've
sat
there
and
said?
Yes,
we
do,
and
in
my
head
I'm
thinking?
No,
we
don't.
We
need
honest
answers.
We
need
to
get
to
it.
So
as
we
go
forward,
this
I
look
forward
to
the
hearing
and
bringing
a
little
bit
of
my
history
along
with
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
councillor
McCarthy
aye,
madam
Clerk
I,
don't
think
I
stated
this.
If
you
could
add
councillor
sobbing
George
as
well,
I
think
I
got
everyone
did
I
get
count.
Sir
Edwards
I
guess
I
did
awesome.
Thank
you
guys.
At
this
time,
docket
1
3,
3,
1,
3,
3
8
will
be
assigned
to
the
Committee
on
planning
development
and
transportation.
A
B
We
are
as
forensic
science
plays
a
vital
role
in
our
criminal
justice
system
and
carrying
out
criminal
investigations
across
the
nation,
whereas
this
year
marks
the
seventh
annual
National
Forensic
Science
Week,
a
national
observance
celebrating
the
significant
contribution
of
Frazetta
forensic
science
crack
practitioners,
the
f
will
be
it
resolved
that
the
Boston
City
Council
celebrates
all
of
its
forensic
science
practitioners
and
recognizes
the
week
of
September
15th
of
the
21st
2019
as
National
Forensic
Science.
Because
of
the
city
of
Boston,
filed
September,
18
2013,.
Q
Thank
you
again,
madam
chair
I,
just
want
to
speak
to
this
resolutions.
I
think
it's
important
to
recognize
the
men
and
women
both
uniformed
and
civilian
employees
that
are
doing
the
work
of
our
Boston
Police
Crime
Lab.
In
particular.
They
are
understaffed,
under-resourced,
well
over
capacity
and
the
work
that
they
need
to
do,
which
is
very
important
not
just
for
justice,
but
for
really
solving
the
problems
or
the
the
symptoms
of
crime,
not
the
symptoms,
but
the
when
crime
happens
in
the
city.
Q
Our
residents
deserve
a
quick
response
when
there
is,
unfortunately,
a
rape
in
our
city,
our
residents
deserve
a
quick
response
and
we've
had
some
significant
improvements
to
crime
legislation
or
through
crime
legislation
at
the
state
level.
That
has
put
a
lot
of
pressure
on
our
on
our
crime
lab
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
so
for
for
this
week.
Q
In
the
city
of
Boston
and
and
I
want
to
recognize
that
they
are
doing
it
with
not
that
not
all
the
resources
that
they
need
to
make
sure
that
they're
doing
their
piece
to
protect
our
residents
so
now
for
the
science
and
for
the
labor
that
happens
in
that
crime,
lab
I
want
to
recognize
their
work
today,
because
it's
often
unnoticed
it's
the
work
that
happens
after
there's
been
an
unfortunate
incident
in
our
city.

Council,

and

as

councillor,
asabi
George
suspension
of
the
rules
and
adoption
of
the
late
file
matter,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it.
The
late
file
is
adopted.
A
H
L
Generations
of
Janey's
come
through
12th
Baptist
Church
that
he
himself,
the
christened
are
baptized
married
and
eulogized,
but
more
than
just
my
family,
what
he
has
meant
to
the
Roxbury
community
and
what
he
has
meant
to
this
city
in
terms
of
the
work
that
he
has
done
at
the
church
to
expand
the
church
and
its
reach
in
terms
of
services
and
ministry
to
those
in
our
community.
He
has
served
in
an
unofficial
capacity
as
the
Dean
of
all
ministers.
He
is
recognized
as
the
Dean
you
know
in
the
black
ministerial
Alliance,
just
a
great
man.
L
I
also
want
to
inform
folks
if
people
don't
know
that
they're,
the
the
wake
is
this
Friday
from
4
to
8
you'll
have
an
opportunity
to
pay
respects
then,
and
the
funeral
services
are
Saturday
at
11
at
12th,
Baptist
Church,
but
certainly
keep
the
Haines
family
in
your
prayers.
You
may
have
caught
a
wonderful
interview
that
Reverend
Haines
just
did
in
the
banner
I
was
just
the
week
before
he
died
on
him
and
his
brother
Roy,
who
is
a
famous
jazz
musician?
If
you
haven't
seen
it,
please
take
a
look.
L
J
I
We
were
close
with
our
state
in
federal
government's
as
well
to
make
sure
that
anyone
that
served
our
country
and
their
remains
are
unaccounted
for-
that
we
continue
to
work
closely
to
try
to
bring
their
remains
back,
either
opportunity
to
speak
to
congressman
Lynch
over
the
weekend
in
South
Boston
at
the
rededication
of
the
South
Boston
Vietnam,
Veterans
Memorial,
with
counsel
of
clarity
and
in
with
Mayor
Walsh
as
well.
We
were
talking
about
this
issue
and
how
important
it
is
for
our
city,
but,
more
importantly,
how
it.
I
How
important
is
for
our
military
families
that
have
someone
that
pain
never
ends
even
after
30
40
50
years?
They
they
keep
thinking
about
their
loved
one,
not
just
on
Memorial
Day
but
every
day.
So
there's
a
lot
of
these
military
families
that
paid
the
supreme
sacrifice
for
our
country,
but
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
our
government
continues
to
do
everything
they
can
to
bring
the
every
manes
home.
Thank
you,
madam
president,
know.
A
Thank
You
councillor
Flynn
any
other
announcements,
I'll
just
quickly
remind
folks
that
we
have
another
racial
equity
training
tomorrow
and
then
also
this
Sunday.
If
you
are
around,
come

your
family,
bring
your
friends

hosting,
along

Ron
Savage

Berklee,
College
of
Music,

I
hope
to
be
the
first
annual
Matapan
jazz
and
unity
festival.
It
should
be
fun,
it
is
highlighting
Matapan
and
all
the
great
things
about
Matapan
that
often
get
lost
in
the
media
and
the
news.
It
is
a
free
event.
A
It
starts
at
1:00,
but
it
goes
to
a
five.
It
is
behind
the
fully
residences,
which
is
at
2:49,
River
Street
in
Mattapan,
great
it'd,
be
great
to
see.
All
of
you
I
also
want
to
give
a
plug
to
councillor
McCarthy
and
other
Matapan
electives
in
particular.
That
also
are
sponsoring
and
being
a
part
of
this
event
very
much.
It
should
be
fun.
A

you're

by,
but

you

me
to
say
