submits
a
report
recommending
that
the
docket
ought
to
pass.
A
E
You
chair
at
our
hearing,
we
were
joined
by
Thomas
Sullivan,
the
director
of
cemeteries
for
the
cemetery
Division
and
Margaret
Tyson.
The
trust
manager
of
the
Treasury
Department
during
the
hearing.
The
administration
respectively,
requested
that
the
city
council
release
funds
from
the
cemetery
trust
to
support
the
maintenance,
repair,
Improvement
and
embellishment
of
the
three
cemeteries
in
Boston's,
open
space
for
burials
Cemetery
trust
were
established
in
1961
and
mandated
that
any
City
and
towns
adopting
the
legislation
maintain
independent
account
and
Trust
separate
from
the
Department.
Traditionally,
this
type
of
appropriation
has
been
done
annually.
E
However,
the
last
appropriation
to
the
cemetery
division
from
the
trust
was
in
October
2019
for
175
thousand
dollars
in
breaking
down.
The
dollar
amounts
designated
for
the
project,
both
cemeteries.
The
panel
elaborated
upon
the
specific
work
needed
at
each
of
the
sites,
for
example,
to
expand
the
veteran
and
Indian
indigence.
Excuse
me,
burial
area
at
the
Fairview
Cemetery,
the
28
800
are
going
to
go
towards
laying
new
concrete
foundation
and
to
rehabilitate
them
at
Hope.
E
Cemetery
258
thousand
dollars
will
go
toward
design
construction
and
capital
cost
necessary
to
repair
the
disarray
of
the
facility
due
to
failure
to
just
maintain
the
exterior,
which
has
led
to
storm
damage
inside
of
the
building
as
well.
E
Finally,
they
want
to
rehabilitate
the
face
of
the
Mount
Hope
Cemetery
for
400
000,
and
that's
going
to
go
towards
repairing
the
entrance
that
is
facing
the
surrounding
landscape.
The
administration
explained
that
completing
this
work
is
necessary
to
serve
and
support
the
community
at
large,
the
bereaved
and
the
staff
on
site.
E
The
timing
for
the
interior
repair
at
Mount
Hope
Cemetery
is
sensitive
as
the
fall
construction
season
approaches
and
as
a
concerns
the
health
and
safety
of
the
cemetery
employees,
because,
like
I
mentioned,
we
have
storm
damage
inside
of
the
building
where
the
employees
are
at.
So
the
maintenance
and
repair
projects
discussed
during
the
hearing,
we're
going
to
be
are
going
to
be
contracted
out
by
the
parks
department.
That
was
one
of
my
concerns
is
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
large
amount
of
money.
E
That's
going
to
come
out
of
the
city,
and
so
I
had
questions
for
the
administration.
About
how
they
were
going
to
make
sure
that
these
contracts
were
in
alignment
with
the
administration's
goals
for
women
and
minority
owned
businesses,
and
so
the
contract
Union
is
going
to
first
consult
the
certified
business
directory
to
search
for
mwb
companies
to
contact,
and
they
are
then
going
to
fill
out.
The
Equitable
procurement,
clients
and
assistive
assistance
form
send
the
scope
of
work
to
the
office
of
Economic
Development
and
inclusion.
E
For
assistance
with
finding
qualified
bidders
in
related,
Industries
and
I
have
had
a
conversation
with
the
chief
and
confirmed
that
this
is
the
proposed
process
to
ensuring
that
we
are
hiring
local
women
and
minority
owned
businesses.
So,
as
the
chair
of
the
committee
for
environmental
justice
resolution,
Parks
I
recommend
that
this
docket
ought
to
pass.
A
A
A
D
The
phone
thank
you,
madam
chairs,
chair
just
to
ask
that
this
man,
a
remaining
committee.
We
held
a
hearing
last
Thursday
that
was
recessed.
Until
this
this
past
Monday.
There
was
obviously
a
disconnect
with
respect
to
the
ask
from
the
maker
and
chair
as
to
who
from
BPS
was
being
requested
to
attend
the
hearing
and
as
a
result
of
which
we
heard
on
Monday
from
Rochelle
nosu.
D
She
attended
she's
the
new
chief
of
staff
for
the
incoming
soon
to
begin
new
superintendent,
Mary
Skipper,
who
starts
on
next
Monday,
and
she
asked
that
we
as
a
courtesy,
give
her
an
opportunity
to
get
started
and
get
a
little
time
under
her
belt.
And
then
we
will
reconvene
that
hearing
on
a
very
important
discussion.
D
One,
obviously
that
the
incoming
superintendent
is
wants
to
participate
sends
her
regrets
that
she
was
able
to
participate
today,
wants
to
work
with
the
council
and
assure
the
council,
as
well
as
students
and
parents,
of
our
commitment
to
safety,
particularly
around
the
issues
of
bullying
and
violence
on
school
grounds
and
so
through.
The
chair,
unless
they
make
it
has
anything.
To
add
to
that.
I
will
be
reconvening.
Probably
within
the
next
few
weeks,
I
think
we've
gotten
a
date.
Maybe
the
chair
can
report
a
date
that
we've
sent
to
BPS
for
their
attendance.
Thank
you.
A
A
F
Thank
you,
madam

you
for
your
leadership

all
your

During
this,
as
Vice
chair,
there
was
District
in
committee.
You
have
been
hard
at
work
hitting
the
ground
running
to
ensure
we
deliver
Fair
balance
in
Eco
districts
for
the
city
of
Boston.
Already
we
have
two
working
sections
with
the
council,
one
last
Friday
September
16th
and
yesterday
September
20th.
F
In
our
first
working
session,
we
announced
a
series
of
goals
for
this
committee.
One
we
released
proposed
map
seven
days
before
a
public
hearing
to
ensure
adequate
time
for
Review
Committee
elections
and
bpda
consolidate
and
publicize
public
data
and
essential,
centralized
location
and
three
engage
with
Community
organizations
and
conduct
Outreach
on
the
workings
of
the
committee.
Four,
our
first
major
public
hearing
will
be
Thursday
September
29th
at
3
pm.
We
will
need
the
help
of
the
entire
Council
to
bring
members
of
their
District
to
represent
priorities
and
focus
focuses
for
the
committee.
F
Our
final
goal
is
to
release
a
map
to
this
Council
between
October
3rd
to
the
7th
incorporating
community
and
Council
input.
We
have
also
shared
information
with
each
Council
to
educate
the
neighborhood
on
the
redistricting
process.
From
yesterday's
working
session,
we
focused
on
split
precepts
and
the
surrounding
communities
of
interest.
There
are
16
six
splits
precincts
which
now
cross,
which
now
cross
into
two
or
three
current
council
districts.
They
must
be
moved
as
a
whole
during
the
22
city
council
redistricting.
These
precincts
have
a
total
population
of
50
226..
F
Our
goal
as
a
committee
is
to
ensure
the
voices
of
those
constituents
are
heard
and
respected.
When
drawing
these
lines,
we
look
forward
to
continuing
this
process
with
the
rest
of
the
council
and
the
City
of
Boston
in
order
to
achieve
our
ultimate
goal
of
creating
districts
that
represent
the
communities
they
serve
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
that
was
in
attendance
on
making
sure
that
we're
moving
redistricting
forward
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Thank
you.
A
G
So
after
multiple
heat
waves
in
unprecedented
lack
of
rainfall,
Boston
has
experienced
one
of
the
warmest
and
driest
Summers
on
record.
According
to
the
U.S
drought,
monitor's
weekly
report
released
on
August
25th,
roughly
96
percent
of
the
state
experienced
severe
drought
conditions
at
some
point.
This
summer
last
month
was
the
hottest
August
on
record
in
Massachusetts.
G
G
Only
two
of
the
seven
open
pools
were
located
in
neighborhoods
with
an
area
median
income
lower
than
the
city's
average,
then
Mason
pool
in
Roxbury
in
the
pool
inside
the
Leahy
Holleran
Community
Center
in
Dorchester.
In
addition,
no
public
pools
were
open
at
one
point
in
the
South
End
in
West
Roxbury.
G
A
You
councilman
Murphy.
Would
anyone
else
like
to
speak
on
this
matter?
Consular
I
think
it
was
counselor
Coletta.
H
H
As
you
know,
given
what
constituents
in
Charlestown
are
going
through
and
I've
brought
up
the
clarity
pool
many
times
during
budget
season
and
our
Opera
debate
trying
to
get
opera
and
federal
money
to
help
renovate
this
pool.
But
it's
honestly
been
a
travesty
that
we
only
just
found
out
a
week
before
the
pool
was
supposed
to
open
that
it
was
going
to
be
closed
indefinitely
for
the
summer.
Even
though

knew
just
how
deteriorated
the
pool
was
and
I'm
not
talking
about
folks
in
this
Administration.
H
This
dates
back
all
the
way
to
manino
in
2008
when
they
funded
assessments,
and
they
knew
just
how
bad
it
was
and
it
continued
through
the
Walsh
Administration
and
the
only
thing
that
was
done
was
quick
fix,
Band-Aids,
and
so
now
we
are
stuck
with
this
mess.
It
is
a
mess
and
we're
trying
to
figure
out
how
much
it's
going
to
cost
for
a
complete
renovation,
and
the
number
is
out
courageous
and
so
I
am
thankful
for
you
bringing
this
up.
H
Council
Mejia
I'm
thankful
for
my
other
at
large
city
councilors
for
supporting
Charlestown
and
their
Endeavor
to
try
to
open
up
their
pool.
I'm
also
concerned
about
the
Paris
Street
pool
as
well,
which
has
significant
delays.
So
I
really
look
forward
to
this
hearing
and
I
look
forward
to
advocating
for
my
constituents
during
the
hearing.
Thank.
D
Please
add
my
name
Echo
those
comments,
so
obviously
it
is
timely
on
a
number
of
fronts,
one
we
have
resources
in
front
of
us
too
we're
going
to
be
heading
before
you
know
it
into
another
budget
cycle.
So
it's
more
than
important
critical
to
do
an
overall
assessment.
It
seems
as
though
our
pools
were
treated
like
our
schools,
many
and
obviously
in
our
schools,
but
so
it
probably
asks
it
probably
calls
upon
us
to
do
an
assessment
of
of
all
of
our
City
properties.
D
It's
our
community
centers,
it's
our
libraries
Etc
to
see
what
condition
they're
in
so
that
we're
not
faced
with
this
situation
years
from
now
on
on
those
facilities,
but
in
addition
to
the
fact
that
we
need
to
address
and
assess
and
and
rehab
and
in
some
instances,
probably
new
capital
projects
for
pools.
We
also
need
to
talk
about
the
programming
at
that
pools.
It's
probably
more
essential.
D
So
that
said
again,
please
add
my
name,
look
forward
to
an
expedited
hearing
and
let's
get
all
the
stakeholders
in
here
and
let's
see
what
funds
we
have
available
now
to
address
some
of
those
critical
concerns
and
let's
see
what
we
need
to
get
in
the
pipeline
for
Capital
moving
forward.
Thank
you,
madam.
I
You,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
to
my
colleague
for
bringing
this
to
the
council
and
I
just
want
to
uplift
councilor
Coletta
and
how
hard
you
have
been
working
towards
making
sure
that
Charlestown
residents
really
feel
seen
and
heard
as
they
navigate
through
this
process.
So
it's
just
been
really
great
to
work
alongside
you
all
on
that.
I
So
thank
you
for
your
leadership
in
that
space
and
I
I
really
do
appreciate
councilor
Murphy,
bringing
this
into
the
chamber
as
a
something
that's
happening,
city-wide,
because
we
have
spent
a
lot
of
time
and
energy
really
looking
at
what
we
could
be
doing
as
a
city
as
a
whole
and
I
think
this
is
a
great
example
of
doing
a
full
audit
and
assessment
of
what's
Happening
across
the
entire
city.
I
know
I
always
even
though
it's
a
joke,
but
it's
not
funny.
I
You
know,
I
I
didn't
know
how
to
swim.
When
I
was
a
kid
right
and
so
I
made
sure
that
my
daughter
learned
how
to
swim.
But
you
know
these:
the
pool
is
not
just
for
recreation.
It's
also
life-saving,
so
I
think
we
have
a
responsibility
and
an
opportunity
to
really
uplift
what
we
can
do
as
a
council
right.
I
So
it's
not
just
about
blaming
or
shaming,
or
things
like
that
when
it
comes
to
the
administration,
because
a
lot
of
these
things
we
have
inherited
and
so
I
really
do
look
forward
to
the
opportunity
to
have
a
robust
hearing
but,
more
importantly,
what
we're
going
to
do
with
the
information
as
we
prepare
for
our
under
the
leadership
of
my
colleague,
counselor
Anderson,
for
next
year's
budget
season,
which
is
going
to
prove
to
be
an
amazing
turnaround.
I
A
Thank
you.
Pardon
sorry,
councilor
Louisiana,
I
didn't
see
the
light
on.
J
Thank
you
also,
please
add
my
name,
but
also
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
bringing
this
is
an
issue.
It's
a
city-wide
issue.
I
would
just
like
to
ask
you
know
for
consideration
that
bcyf
the
pools
that
the
city
has
are
within
our
purview,
and
so
that's
important
that
we
have
a
hearing
on
that.
J
But
it
could
also
be
a
good
opportunity
for
us
to
also
hear
from
the
state
about
what's
happening,
to
are
the
pools
that
are
within
their
jurisdiction
that
are
within
our
city,
because
we've
heard
a
number
of
concerns
from
across
the
city
about
pools
that
are
run
by
the
state,
and
it
could
be
a
great
form
to
also
bring
the
state
in
so
just
putting
that
out
as
an
idea
as
we
address
the
city-wide
issue,.
A
Thank
you,
Council
Louisiana.
Anyone
else
want
to
switch
to
speak.
Okay,
I.
Would
anyone
else
like
to
add
their
name:
councilor
Arroyo
councilor
Baker,
counselor
Bach.
We
have
councilor
Coletta,
counselor,
Fernandez,
Anderson,
councilor,
Lara,
Council
Louisiana,
please
add
the
chair.
Thank
you.
Mr
Kirk,
docket
1144
will
be
referred
to
the
committee
on
City
service
and
innovation
technology.
G
You
chair
so
given
that
the
context
of
this
hearing
is
similar
to
the
previous
one.
I'll
keep
this
brief,
but
my
office
and
I
did
go
back
and
forth
and
decided
it
would
be
best
to
file
these
separately
so
that
we
could
focus
on
the
previous
order,
with
facilities
in
bcyf
and
also
in
BPS,
because
we
know
overall,
Staffing
shortages
is
a
crisis
across
the
city,
but
there
is
and
has
been
a
current
labor
shortage
of
lifeguards
in
Boston
that
has
affected
our
bcyf
pools.
G
They
have
changed
some
of
the
city
requirements
with
residency
and
increasing
pay
this
summer,
because
there
was
such
a
crisis
to
keep
pools
open
according
to
bcyf.
There
are
four
pools
closed
today
due
to
Staffing
shortages.
We
also
know,
depending
on
what
day
it
is
sometimes
they
shift
lifeguards,
which
is
hard
for
management,
but
also
the
lifeguards
themselves.
G
They
don't
always
know
what
pool
they
need
to
show
up
to
the
Hennigan
Community
Center
in
Jamaica
Plain,
the
Marshall
Community
Center
pool
in
Dorchester,
which
is
hard
more
because
previously
it
was
closed
all
summer
due
to
facilities,
issues
which
did
go
well
and
the
pool
was
reopened
and
the
facilities
were
complete.
The
repairs
were
complete,
but
now
it's
closed
for
Staffing
shortages,
the
Perkins
Community
Center
in
Dorchester
in
the
Condon
Community
Center
pool
in
South
Boston,
which
has
been
closed
for
a
long
time
because
of
Staffing
shortages.
G
Now,
like
the
facility
issues,
these
closures
are
a
disservice
to
Residents
prohibiting
several
neighborhoods
from
city
services
like
recreational
swimming
and
Aquatic
lessons,
especially
in
one
of
Boston's
hottest
and
driest
Summers.
This
is
why
I'm
ordering
a
hearing
ordered
to
address
and
brainstorm
solutions
for
the
Lifeguard
labor
shortage
affecting
pools
managed
by
bcyf
in
order
to
ensure
Equitable
city
services
to
all
of
our
city
residents,
like
Council
of
Flaherty,
said
he
hopes
for
a
speedy
hearing,
which
I
will
work
with
counselor
Bach
to
make
sure
that
happens.
G
But
we
also
know
that,
even
though
the
summers
are
hot
and
the
pools
may
be
used
more,
but
these
pools
that
are
not
the
outdoor
two
pools
or
the
beaches
are
used
all
winter
and
fall
also.
So
we
do
want
to
make
sure
that
the
Staffing
shortage
is
fixed
and
we
can
support
that
in
any
way
we
can.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
A
Let's
move
on
to
docket
one
one:
four:
six:
Mr
Clark.
Can
you
please
please
read
docket
four
one,
one
four,
six
talking.
H
You
councilor
burden,
so
ultimately,
I
will
be
withdrawing
this
docket,
because
councilor
luigien
introduced
something
before
I
got
on
the
council,
but
I
do
just
want
to
provide
some
contacts
and
I
look
forward
to
merging
our
efforts
to
try
to
get
services
for
our
families
who
have
gone
through
disasters.
H
This
might
so.
My
intention
with
this
was
to
elevate
the
issues
of
of
our
response
to
families
who
have
suffered
from
a
fire
a
building
collapse.
We
had
a
building
collapse
in
the
North
End,
where
hundreds
of
people
were
out
of
a
home
for
a
very
very
long
time,
and
this
is
not
to
to
cast
any
sort
of
negativity
on
the
fire
department
who
did
an
incredible
job
and
he's
Boston
recently
at
the
Princeton
Street
fire.
H
When
28
families
were
displaced
or
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
they
were
incredible
and
were
there
on
scene,
I
think
it's
in
the
subsequent
weeks.
Afterwards,
where
families
are
kind
of
looking
around
once
the
dust
is
settled
and
the
city
has
left
them
to
their
own
devices,
to
figure
out
what
they're
going
to
do
for
housing.
H
The
office
of
housing
stability
does
provide
supports
for
these
families,
but
they
are
told
to
find
a
lease
and
then
they
will
be
given
first
and
last
rent
what
happens
when
you're
already
on
the
thresholds
of
barely
hanging
on
any
spots,
and
you
can
barely
afford
it
now,
and
you
can't
find
a
lease
that
you
can
afford
they.
These
families
are
still
homeless
to
this
to
this
day
and
thanks
to
East
Boston,
Mutual,
Aid
or
Mutual
Aid
easty
and
East
Boston
social
centers.
H
They
were
the
fiscal
sponsors
and
stewards
of
the
money
that
was
donated
and
help
disperse
it
in
an
equitable
way,
which
I
think
is
a
model
for
us
to
consider.
But
I
think
it's
time
to
move
past.
This
ad
hoc
process
of
what
happens
after
this
type
of
disaster
and
standardize
it
through
the
city
and
utilizing
office
of
housing,
stability
and
Council.
H
Illusion
and
I
have
already
talked
about
this
potentially
City
vouchers,
because
these
people
are
homeless
and
so
I
just
I'm
very
excited
for
this
conversation
I
apologize
that
it
was
a
duplicate,
although
I
didn't
know,
but
I
am
looking
forward
to
the
hearing
and
thank
you
again.
I
Thank
you
thank
you,
chair
and
thank
you
to
my
colleague,
councilor
Coletta
and
I
am
really
looking
forward
to
working
alongside
Council
luigien,
you
know
being
on
the
council.
Now
for
two
and
a
half
years.
What
we
have
noticed
in
our
office
is
that
we
become
the
crisis,
Management,
Center
and
oftentimes
we're
helping
to
support
people,
sometimes
with
our
own
campaign
funds,
and
it
becomes
really
taxing
and
tapping
into
our
Network
to
help
support
people
who
are
in
crisis.
So
I
do
agree
that
there
is
something
that
we
need
to
do
better
to
support.
I
Folks
and
I
know
that
counselor
Anderson
has
been
talking
and
been
thinking
about
ways
that
we
can
actually
help
support
people
who
are
navigating
crises,
so
some
of
it
could
just
be
through
just
fire,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
other
cases
like
folks
who
are
in
domestic
violence
situations
that
need
to
go
or
people
who
have
suffered
a
loss
due
to
homicide
and
they're
being
traumatized.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
different
issues
that
are
happening
in
our
community
and
I.
I
Think
this
particular
hearing
could
help
really
open
up
the
the
space
for
all
different
types
of
situations
that
our
residents
find
themselves
in,
so
definitely
look
forward
to
working
alongside
councilor,
luigien
and
I
would
just
offer
that
we
opened
it
up
a
little
bit
to
look
at
all
people
who
are
experiencing
housing
crises
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Thank
you
thank.
A
K
K
Mr
Clark,
please
read
docket
1147
into
the
record
document.
B
J
You
so
I
just
want
to
first
thank
the
constituents
who
have
been
emailing
and
bringing
this
matter
to
our
attention,
my
office
for
digging,
deep,
to
figure
out
what
the
status
of
this
ordinance
is.
As
many
of
us
know,
September
is
National
Recovery
month,
a
time
where
we
celebrate
and
honor
those
folks
who
are
in
recovery
and
the
dedication
that
their
providers
show
them.
J
Many
on
the
council
this
year
and
in
past
years,
have
participated
in
Needle,
cleanups
and
know
firsthand
how
important
it
is
to
have
a
convenient
and
safe
access
to
needle
drop-off
locations
on
this
ordinance
that
was
passed
in
2020
was
a
response
to
those
was
a
response
to
all
of
that.
However,
this
and
it
merely
requires
pharmacies
that
sell
the
syringes
syringes
to
provide
a
way
to
safely
dispose
of
them.
J
But
what
we've
seen
and
what
constituents
constituents
have
brought
to
my
attention
is
that
this
ordinance
has
not
been
follow
through
if
it
was
put
into
effect.
It's
not
just
about
those
using
drugs
or
needle
waste,
but
it's
also
about
our
seniors
and
about
diabetics
and
those
who
are
in
need
of
a
safe
and
convenient
location
to
drop
off
their
Sharps.
The
safe,
sharp
ordinance
is
about
a
broader
infectious
disease
prevention
strategy
that
helps
with
prevention
and
transmission
of
HIV
AIDS,
hepatitis,
C
and
other
communicable
diseases.
J
It's
about
a
broader
strategy
of
connecting
active
users
to
resources
and
services
and
about
overdose
prevention.
So
the
ordinance
was
intended
to
create
over
100
collection
sites
across
the
city
of
Boston
and
requiring
pharmacies
to
provide
the
city
with
data
on
traps
collection
on
an
annual
basis.
J
That
would
help
inform
how
we
are
attacking
the
issue,
and
you
know
that
all
the
ordinance
also
provides
Pharmacies
with
with
implementing
a
different
collection
action
plan
if
they
didn't
want
to
have
a
needle
collection
on
site
that
would
require
review
by
the
Boston
Public.
Health,
commission
and
ISD
is
empowered
with
the
ability
to
enforce
the
law,
and
so
this
ordinance
started.
J
The
work
on
this
ordinance
started
in
2017
with
many
counselors
who
are
still
on
on
the
city
council
and
there's
a
lot
of
work
put
into
it.
Revisions
and
coordination
with
the
administration
and
the
pharmacy
industry,
but
there's
a
lot
of
pushback
as
well,
but
it
was
eventually
sent
into
law
in
2020
and
I
believe
it
was
I
believe
it
was
counselor
at
large,
councilor
asabi
George
that
really
spearheaded
helped
to
really
Shepherd
this
through
the
council.
J
And
so
the
purpose
of
this
hearing
order
is
to
elevate
the
concerns
that
constituents
have
brought
to
my
attention
and
also
to
get
clarity
on
the
status
of
the
ordinance.
What
good
is
an
ordinance
if
it's
not
being
implemented
and
if
we're
not
seeing
it
enforced
and
so
ISD
has
the
ability
to
enforce
this
ordinance.
J
We
have
bphd
that
has
a
role
here
and
our
pharmacies
and
corporations
that
are
making
millions
of
dollars
off
of
off
of
drugs
and
the
use
of
of
medication
need
to
be
able
to
provide
for
the
collection
of
syringes
on
site
or
provide
for
an
alternative,
and
so
I
look
forward
to
this
hearing
order
to
get
clarity
on
enforcement.
I
want
to
thank
the
Office
of
Recovery
Services,
Emergency,
Medical
Services,
our
hospitals
and
health
centers,
and
our
nonprofits,
who
have
been
working
on
this
issue.
J
A
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
really
don't
have
much
to
add
to
Consular
norwegian's

attempted

find
safe
ways

sharps
in

neighborhood
of
Alston
Brighton,
and
they
came
up
with
they
didn't
find
anywhere
that
they
could
do
that
so
I
we
we
are.

will

and
now
Mr

Would

please

1148
into

record
doctor.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
This
is
a
hearing
order
to
discuss
how
we
are
helping
our
migrants,
who
are
here
and
how
the
city
is
ensuring
that
we're
providing
Services.
As
many
folks
know,
last
week
about
15
migrants
arrived
on
Martha's
Vineyard
as
a
result
of
a
political
Stunt
by
Governor
DeSantis
in
Florida.
They
were,
they
arrived
after
being
fraudulently
inducing
traffic
to
board
planes
with
false
promises
of
work,
educational
opportunities
and
help
with
immigration
paperwork
in
Boston.
Generally
that
that
moment
just
crystallized.
J
And
so,
as
a
result
of
you
know
what
we
saw
last
week,
it
was
just
a
good
idea
to
pull
together
a
hearing
order,
so
we
can
just
put
out
playing
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
in
the
work
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
Moya,
the
mayor's
office
of
immigrant
advancement
is
doing
to
support
our
immigrants
and
our
migrant
communities.
There
are
so
many
non-profits
here
who
are
also
doing
the
work,
who
have
been
leaders
here
in
this
space
and
bringing
them
in
to
address
the
work.
J
They've
been
doing
to
help
migrants
that
have
been
arriving
across
from
across
the
border,
whether
they
be
Haitian
migrants,
Venezuelan
migrants,
Mexican
migrants,
Honduran
migrants.
J
We've
been
seeing
a
steady
increase,
and
so
we
know
that
this
country
has
a
damning
past
when
it
comes
to
meeting
the
needs
of
our
migrants,
particularly
our
black
migrants,
as
we
saw
last
year
with
the
by
the
patrol
agent
for
drill
agents
engaged
and
harassed
and
physically
harmed
Haitian
migrants
at
the
border,
and
here
on
this
Council
I
filed
a
resolution
to
end
title
42,
which
was
an
immediate
deportation
without
access
to
the
Asylum
process
or
legal
process
to
migrants
arriving
at
the
border,
an
act
that
has
been
held
up
in
court,
so
Advocates
all
over
the
country
have
been
dealing
with
this
issue.
J
We've
been
doing
it
here
on
the
city
council
via
the
Opera
funds.
My
office,
along
with
councilor
Ricardo
Arroyo's
office,
fought
for
1.1
million
dollars
in
temporary
funding
in
in
funding
for
temporary
housing
because
of
all
of
the
issues
that
migrants
were
facing,
and
so
we
got
that
allocation,
but
we
haven't
seen
implementation
and
so
bringing
Moya
into
into
City
Hall,
together
with
other
non-profits
that
have
been
doing
the
work
to
see
how
we
can
better
support
them
together
with
State
actors.
J
Really
because
we've
been
seeing
this
happening
in
other
jurisdictions
as
well,
including
New
York,
including
Washington
DC,
that
have
been
able
to
allocate
more
resources
to
addressing
the
needs
of
our
migrants.
So
I.
We
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
I'm,
looking
forward
to
doing
the
work
with
my
colleagues
and
to
also
you
know,
talk
about
how
we
work
in
deeper
partnership
with
state
and
federal
government
and
addressing
this
issue.
Thank.

B
Dear
Council,
colleagues,
please
be
advised
that
I'm
unable

council
meeting

I'm

the
national
league
of
cities,
meetings
convening
in

to
remove
a

may
do
so

A
G
I
feel

we
must
give
credit
when
credit
is
due
and
I
would
like
to
give
a
huge
shout
out
and
thank
you
to
the
MBTA.
After
a
30-day
shutdown
of
the
Orange
Line,
our
MBTA
workers
were
able
to
make
five
years
of
improvements,
including
replacing
3
500
feet
of
track,
14
000
feet
of
rails,
20
units,
a
special
track:
400
rail,
Fasteners,
six,
slow,
Zone
removals
in
Signal
upgrades
quite
the
work
in
only
30
days.
Let's
continue
this
hard
work
to
provide
a
smooth,
reliable
tea
for
all
of
our
residents.
G
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Two
things
on
a
personal
note:
I
just
wanted
to
wish
a
happy
wedding
anniversary
to
my
parents
37
years
and
on
a
district
note.
Well,
I'm!
Really
a
city-wide
just
wanted
to
wish
Tana
Tova
to
all
the
Jewish
constituents
who
are
celebrating
Rosh
Hashanah
over
this
weekend
going
into
the
start
of
next
week,
which
obviously
is
the
start
of
the
Jewish
New
Year.
So
just
wanted
to
wish
that
home.
I
I
was
really
impressed
with
just
really
recognizing
the
hard
work
that
that
you
all
have
to
do
every
day
to
save
lives
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
having
to
put
out
a
fire,
was
it
adrenaline
rush?
Needless
to
say,
it
was
fake
though,
but
nonetheless
I
still
felt
like
I
was
doing
something
big,
but
I
just
want
to
say.
I
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I
just
wanted
to
invite
all
my
colleagues
to
an
event
that
we're
having
for
Hicks
Auto,
Body,
Body,
Willie,
Willie
e
Hicks
senior,
we're
going
to
be
honoring
him
on
Saturday
between
12
and
2.,
he's
been
in
business
for
52
years,
black
owned
business
multi-generational
and
we're
going
to
be
renaming
one
of
the
streets
after
Willie
Hicks
senior,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
knew
about
it
and
all
welcome
to
come
in
and
join
in
festivities.
Thank.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
just
wanted
to
update
the
body
on
the
status
of
my
uncle
and
thank
folks
who
have
been
praying
for
him.
He
has
recently
yesterday
come
out
of
his
coma
and
is
responsive,
so
we're
hopeful
that
we're
in
a
better
place
today,
certainly
than
we
were
when
I
was
here
last
week
and
so
I
thank
folks
for
praying
and
keeping
him
in
your
prayers.
His
name
is
Carlos,
and
so
folks
are
willing
to
keep
praying
for
him.
A
G
Thank
you
just
want
to
remind
everyone
that
this
week
on
the
24th
is
the
third
and
final
open
streets

Dorchester.
So
we
hope
you
all
come
out
and
join
us.
It
will
be
a
fun
day,
as
the
last
two
have
been.
Thank
you.
