You

probably
also
recommend

B
B
D
Foreign,
thank
you,
president,
Flynn
and
good
afternoon
to
everyone
very
excited
to
have
Reverend
Abigail
Henrich
with
us
here
today.
Reverend
Abigail
Henrich
is
a
pastor
of
the
Stratford
Street
United
Church
in
West
Roxbury.
D
Even
if
that
doesn't
seem
ministerial,
Abby
graduated
from
Princeton,
with
her
Masters
in
Divinity
in
2001,
and
has
since
served
churches
exclusively
in
the
Boston
area,
a
city.
She
is
proud
to
call
home
after
hailing
from
Buffalo
New
York,
she
has
been
the
pastor
at
Stratford
Street
United
Church
in
West
Roxbury
for
five
years,
Abby
was
drawn
to
Stratford
Street
Church
when
she
observed
what
a
few
determined
people
could
achieve
together
through
the
Roses
Bounty
food
pantry.
E
I
realized
that
we
all
come
from
different
traditions
and
there
might
even
be
an
atheist
in
the
crowd,
certainly
agnostics
and
that's
okay,
because
for
me,
prayer
is
about
Gathering
us
together.
However,
that
works
for
you.
So,
let's
pray,
God
help
us
be
co-builders
of
community
together
help.
This
dedicated
group
of
people
help
build
community
that
is
based
in
equality
and
justice,
and
welcome
and
always
fill
us
with
joy.
As
we
go
about
what
can
feel
like
exhausting
work,
we
pray
all
of
these
things
together,
amen.
D
D
Sorry
excuse
me:
I
lost
my
place
on
behalf
of
myself
and
the
Boston
city
council
and
all
my
colleagues
I'm
honored
to
present
Dara,
with
a
citation
in
recognition
of
her
compassionate
leadership
as
the
Director
of
rose's
Bounty
food
pantry,
and
for
her
tireless
and
ever
expanding
advocacy
on
behalf
of
those
facing
food
insecurity
in
our
city.
Thank
you,
Dara,
for
the
tremendous
work
that
you
do.
I
also
just
want
to
say
that
I
know
that
it
is
a
difficult
job
that
you
have
taken
on,
but
I
know
that
roses
has
been
a
light.
D
E
E
She
says
yes,
and
she
says
yes
with
a
ridiculous
amount
of
joy
and
a
little,
maybe
naivete,
but
that
is
why
we
have
been
feeding
people
across
our
neighborhood
and
making
I,
hope
and
I
believe
real
connections
that
make
a
difference
with
people,
because
it's
not
just
about
food.
It's
about
community
and
so
I
am
so
grateful.
Counselor
Laura
that
we
get
to
honor
Derek
today.
E
F
Thank
you
all
I
just
want
to
say
a
few
words
I
want
to
say
it's
really
really
important.
Your
support
for
all
food
pantries
across
Boston.
It's
hard
work
and
I
feel
like
I'm,
expecting
this
for
other
food
pantries
that
have
dealt
with
the
pandemic,
where
it
felt
like
the
goal.
F
Post
kept
getting
moved
and
moved
and
moved,
and
you
kept
thinking
like
this
is
going
to
be
over
soon
and
it
kept
getting
moved
and
then
now
there's
inflation
that
is
causing
you
know,
families,
seniors
veterans
that
are
struggling
every
day
because
they
don't
have
enough
food
to
serve
I
get
calls
all
the
time,
and
it's
so
great
that
you're
giving
me
me
this
citation,
because
it's
just
we
can't
do
it
without
your
support.
Without
you
know
the
political
machine
pushing
that
this
is
important.
It
is
important
that
people
have
enough
food
to
eat.
It's.
F
What
helps
raise
people
out
of
poverty
and
I
feel
like
I'm
preaching
to
the
choir
right
here
right
now,
but
I
just
I
I
can't
say
thank
you
enough,
because
we
really
can't
do
this
more
without
your
support
and
thank
you.
B
C
B
I
know
we
I
know
we
have
a
two
two
limit
of
of
two
presentations,
but
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna,
add
a
third
one
today,
but
this
next
one
is
a
presentation
by
councilor
Mejia
councilman
here.
Will
you
please
come
to
the
podium.
G
Thank
you,
president
Flynn,
and
thank
you
for
accommodating
us
being
able
to
honor
people
in
this
way.
So
I
am
really
excited
to
honor
a
fabulous
woman
who
has
contributed
so
much
to
the
art
and
culture.
Seen
here
in
the
city
of
Boston,
I'm
excited
to
I'm,
going
to
read
you
this
file,
so
that
you
can
experience
the
why
we
are
here
today.
G
So
we
are
here
today
to
celebrate
the
work
of
Margot,
Thunder,
I
guess
so.
I'm
gonna
get
right
into
it.
When
most
kids
are
barely
able
to
speak
little
Margo
Thunder
was
singing
back
to
any
song.
G
Margot
began
her
recording
career
with
Capitol
Records
as
a
solo
artist
working
with
Lambert
imparter,
who
also
produced
The
Four
Tops,
Tavares
and
Margo's
solo,
debut,
album
soul
of
a
woman
earned
her
two
International
hits
Express
to
your
heart
and
soul
of
a
woman
with
the
unknown
crooner
Luther
Vandross
singing
background
on
the
album.
Okay,
while
traveling
from
City
to
City
Margot,
began
to
Parlay
her
vocal
talents
into
collaborations,
with
legendary
producers,
gambo
and
huff.
Following
the
success
of
her
solo,
album
Margot
and
her
two
high
school
friends
formed
the
hit
group
Trio
9.9.
G
The
group
scored
a
record
deal
with
RCA
records
after
singer
and
writer,
Richard
dimples
Fields
discovered
and
produced
a
demo
on
them.
9.9
released
their
first
titled
album,
which
included
two
smash
singles.
All
of
of
all
of
all
of
me
for
all
of
you,
I,
like
the
way
you
dance
I
like
the
way
you
dance.
Both
singles
enjoyed
a
healthy
run
of
the
Billboard
charts
and
as
well
internationally
chart
success,
including
performing
on
American,
Bandstand,
okay,
solid
gold,
soul,
train
and
bet
one
of
Boston's
own
did
all
that
y'all.
G
The
multi-talented
Marvel
Thunder
moved
from
9.9,
creating
a
new
group
Lady
Soul
this
hot
Trio
savored
Margot
another
hit
single.
If
my
sister
is
in
trouble,
which
Graces
the
soundtrack
of
Whoopi
Goldberg,
Blockbuster's
movie,
Sister
Act
again
from
Boston
here,
y'all
Margot
has
shared
the
stage
with
such
Legends
as
Aretha
Franklin
Patti
LaBelle
The,
Whispers,
Pito,
Bryson,
Eric
Benet,
the
Barclays,
just
to
name
a
few
Margo
Thunder's
latest
recording
entitled
r
b
101
is
back
to
the
basics.
G
G
You
know
that
when
you've
been
out
all
day,
you
want
to
get
home,
but
my
good
friend
Mia
who's
here
on
the
stage
here
in
the
audience,
said
I
need
you
to
experience
this,
because
when
you
talk
about
Margot
I
want
you
to
talk
from
your
heart
and
I
was
antsy,
because
I
had
a
12
year
old,
who
was
hungry
but
I
stayed,
and
let
me
just
tell
you
that
the
blessing
right
to
be
in
that
space
and
to
see
her
perform
and
how
her
soul
lit
up
and
how
so
many
people
around
there
were
filled
with
joy.
G
This
is
what
this
citation
is
all
about.
It
is
about
the
joy
that
we
bring
through
ART
through
culture,
to
celebrating
and
being
fully
expressed
so
Margo.
This
citation
for
all
that
you
have
done
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
bringing
us
joy.
This
citation
is
in
honor
of
you
and
all
that
you
have
done
and
we're
going
to
ask
you
to
do
a
little
a
little
harm,
real,
quick.
I
I,
don't
know
if
you
can
hear
me
or
not,
but
I'm
a
little
girl
from
Roxbury
and
I
was
born
in
Boston
City
Hospital
to
a
mother
that
raised
nine
children
all
by
herself,
and
you
know
I.
Just
my
dream
was
just
to
do
what
it
was
that
I
wanted
to
do,
and
I
just
wanted
everything
that
I've
ever
done.
It's
always
been
about
Boston.
So
before
there
was
new
addition
before
there
was
New
Kids
on
the
Block.
Even
before
there
was
a
Donna
Summers.
I
There
was
a
Margot
Thunder
I
signed
to
Capitol
Records
when
I
was
11
years
old,
and
you
know
my
pride,
you
know,
I
haven't
been
here
in
17
years,
I've
moved
to
L.A,
but
I
still
from
L.A
I
represent
Boston,
and
you
know
I'm
so
overwhelmed
by
the
things
that
are
happening
because
I'm,
a
little
girl
that
grew
up
in
Roxbury
and
born
like
I,
said
in
City
hospital
and
I'm
moving
up
the
street.
The
Berkeley
school
of
music
is
recognized.
What
it
is
that
I
do
and
they
want
me
to
come,
teach
a
class.
I
You
know
so
that
being
said-
and
you
know
like
she's,
holding
up
the
the
album
that
that
I
recorded
and
she
she
told
me
a
story
about
some
of
the
songs
that
I
sung
that
touched
her
heart
and
saved
her
at
a
time
when
she
was
in
turmoil
with
her
family,
a
victim
of
rape-
and
you
know
for
me
to
hear
this
today
that
my
music
has
touched
people
in
this
way.
I
am
doing
everything
that
God
put
me
on
this
planet
to
do
so.
It's
really
not
about
me.
I
J
Little
she
meant
Mama
lie
down
in
Old,
New
Orleans
strutting
her
stuff
on
the
street.
She
said
hello,
Hey
Joe,
you
want
to
give
it
a
go:
Gitchi,
Gitchy.
A
A
A
B
J
B
H
Oh
my
God.
Thank
you.
Thank
you!
So
much.
You
know.
You
all
know
how
much
I
love
this
city,
This
Is,
My,
Chosen,
City,
my
family,
it's
all
over
the
world.
You
know
yeah
and
I.
The
the
city
on
the
hill
is
wonderful
and
when
I
look
around
now
I'm
more
proud
than
ever
to
see
the
sitting
Council
and
to
the
the
lady
mayor
and
such
diversity.
Today
at
the
apartment
house,
she
asked
to
what
was
the
best
memory
of
being
in
in
service
here
and
I
said
as
a
public
servant.
H
I
remember
when
I
first
came,
there
were
very
few
Latinos
very
few
and
very
few
African-American.
We
we
had
just
gone
through
the
dead
landsmark
and
we
had
bossing
when
I
was
in
school
and
we
also
how
the
housing
was
segregated
and
I.
Remember
going
to
the
apartment
house
for
the
first
time
being
mesmerized
and
this
wonderful
city,
the
city
of
forest,
you
know
it's
a
reflection
of
what
America
is
and
should
always
be
a
pluribus
room.
You
know
that
it
respects
the
diversity
and
recognizes
that.
H
That's
what
we
need
more
today,
more
than
ever
and
Shadow
all
it
represents
being
a
public
servant
and
and
I
have
my
daughters
here
they
came
because
they
were
so
proud.
You
know
and
I.
Thank
you
all.
You
know.
Thank
you.
God
bless.
H
H
A
L
Juan's
always
a
man
of
very
few
words
he
already
slipped
out.
I
was
proud
on
behalf
of
all
of
us
here,
to
nominate
Juan
for
the
Shattuck
award,
someone
that
I've
known
here
my
entire
tenure
on
the
Boston
city
council
he's
been
selfless.
Obviously,
with
his
time
and
his
energy
and
anytime
any
staffer
or
counselor
has
called
him
whatever
the
issue.
Whatever
the
question,
he
immediately
drops
everything
and
comes
through
Aid
So
Not
only
was
he
a
positive
reflection
of
his
community,
which
is
Cuban.
He
is
a
positive
reflection
of
all
of
us.
L
He
takes
his
job
very
seriously
representing
each
and
every
one
of
us
in
good
faith
and-
and
he
has
anyone-
that's
met
him.
People
that
have
either
have
known
him
for
a
while
or
have
just
meeting
him
for
the
first
time
and
anyone
that
has
been
the
recipient
of
one
of
Juan's
famous
tours
around
here,
but
also
up
to
the
model
room.
L
All
of
them
immediately
will
call
or
they'll
send
a
note
or
a
text
back
saying
that
how
how
informative
it
was,
but
how
gracious
he
was,
and
and
so
Testament
to
him
his
character.
But
more
importantly,
his
passion
for
our
city.
L
He
has
seen
our
city
at
its
very
worst
and
he's
also
seen
our
city
at
the
very
best
and
as
he
indicated,
he
was
one
of
the
first
and,
if
not
I,
think
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
he
was
maybe
one
of
the
first
Latino
cabinet
members
I
believe
under
the
Flynn
Administration,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
or
at
least
we're,
given
some
latitude
in
the
Hispanic
liaison
under
the
fund
Administration
and
was
given
wide
latitude
and
I
think
latitude
that
he's
taken
full
advantage
of.
But
we
we
are
all
blessed
for
his
Public
Service.
L
Our
constituents
are
blessed
from
his
Public
Service.
Anyone
coming
in
to
say:
City
Hall
are
coming
into
on
the
council
side
of
the
building
anytime,
there's
an
issue
or
a
question
or
concern.
He
is
the
most
knowledgeable,
he's
the
most
formative
and
does
it
with
Grace
in
with
professionalism.
So
it's
my
honor
on
behalf
of
all
of
us
here
to
recognize
you
and
be
a
further
resolved
that
the
city
council
extends
its
best
wishes
for
continued
success,
and
this
resolution
be
duly
signed
with
the
president
Council.
L
All
of
us
here,
you've
seen
a
number
of
these
you've
participated.
You've
asked
us
all
to
draft
them
for
other
folks,
but
you
haven't
been
a
recipient
of
this,
and
so
hopefully
that
this
is
special.
This
is
our
love
in
support
of
you
and
as
to
the
core
as
a
person,
but
also
how
you
make
us
look
good,
because
you
come
to
work
every
day
with
professionalism
in
your
passion
for
the
city.

just
bleeds
in
terms
of
everything
you
do
so
we
love
you
I
love
you
personally,

a
dear
friend.

We
all
have
private
meetings

we
all
are
trying
to
meet
with
folks.

always
been

I've
known
you
and
the
20
years
here,
no
matter

to

With

we
we
did
amend

the
one
particular
thing
that
was
of
concern
for

is
the
projected
development
projected
housing
units,
and
we
felt
that
that
was
not

which
should
not
be
included
in

this

further.

M
B
O
Thank
you
so
much
Mr
President.
We
had
this
hearing
yesterday
at
morning.
Thank
you
to
my
colleagues
yourself,
president
Flynn
councilor
Murphy
and
councilor
Mejia
for
joining.
O
We
talked
about
both
these
sets
of
dockets,
so
one
of
them
is
about
the
recently
ratified
school
bus
drivers,
con
contract
and
the
other
is
actually
just
for
three
employees
in
the
teamsters
in
property
management
and
so
just
to
quickly
speak
to
that
one,
which
is
the
latter
two
dockets
924
and
925..
O
That
is
the
same
terms
that
we've
been
seeing
in
a
series
of
the
contracts
that
have
been
resolved.
So
it's
two
percent
one
point:
five
percent
two
percent
increases
across
the
three
years.
There
was
a
one-time
one
thousand
dollar
lump
sum
payment.
O
The
fact
that
the
employees
are
getting
Juneteenth
was
memorialized
and
a
recent
update
to
military
leave,
benefits
based
on
Federal
Regulation
was
codified
so
that
one
we've
really
kind
of
gone
over
at
nauseam
and
a
bunch
of
other
cases,
and
it's
just
a
very
small
amount
of
money
to
cover
these
three
employees.
O
The
main
topic
of
conversation
was
docket0922
and
0923,
which
had
to
do
with
this
contract.
With
the
between
the
bus
driver,
Union
and
trans
Dev,
it's
a
very
unusual
contract,
usually
when
we're
making
adjustments
to
the
budget.
It's
for
city
employees-
and
these
are
folks
who
are
not
employed
by
the
city
they're
employed
by
transdev,
but
we
have
a
contract
that
passes
the
costs
through
and
so
when
there's
a
change
in
in
the
driver,
benefits
and
wages
that
needs
to
be
reflected
in
our
budget.
O
This
was
a
pretty
significant
contract
change,
so
we
had
James
Jim
Williamson
the
budget
director
with
us,
along
with
Delaware
and
stennis
law.
The
director
of
Boston
Public
Schools
is
transportation
department,
one
for
Deputy
directors,
Jacqueline
Hayes
and
then
Jeremiah
Hassan,
the
director
of
Labor
Relations
for
BPS.
Basically,
the
new
contract
for
the
school
bus
drivers.
It
both
significantly
increased
wages,
doing
a
kind
of
true
up
of
1.35
and
then
adding
a
two
percent
bump
on
top
of
that
and
lining
up
a
plan
to
continue
adding
two
percent
bumps.
O
We,
the
city
and
transdev,
and
the
drivers
together,
agreed
to
basically
run
a
significant
kind
of
CDL,
Academy
and
so
of
the
87
drivers
recruited
in
the
last
month,
or
so.
55
of
them
didn't
have
a
CDL
but
are
in
the
classes
and
process,
and
a
bunch
of
them
have
actually
already
graduated
and
a
bunch
of
them
are
imminently
graduating.
So
we
set
up
a
kind
of
whole
thing
there.
O
There
were
changes
to
the
leave
policy
and
the
absentee
policy
to
decrease
the
frequency
of
the
situation
where
a
bus
driver
doesn't
show
up,
and
we
don't
know
in
advance,
they're
not
showing
up,
which
is
part
of
what
has
driven
unpredictability
for
our
students
and
then
made
a
bunch
of
other
changes,
including
changes
to
the
probationary
period.
An
increase
to
retirement
severance
pay,
just
like
a
bunch
of
tweaks
and
increase
for
the
drivers
of
weekly
minimum
hours
from
25
to
31..
O
The
really
important
structural
change
is
that
the
city
signed
a
side
letter
where
we
agreed
that
these
are
basically
going
to
be
the
contractual
terms
for
these
bus
drivers
and
they're
going
to
be
the
bus
drivers
for
the
city
of
Boston,
regardless
of
who
wins
the
bus
contract.
That
is
out
for
consideration
now.
So
some
folks
may
know
we
had
an
original
three-year
contract
with
transdev
that
we've
been
doing
a
series
of
one-year
extensions
on
I
think
for
eight
years,
which
is
crazy
and
it's
not.
O
It
hasn't
been
a
well-structured
contract
from
a
bunch
of
ways.
So
the
city
now
has
a
a
new
information
for
bids
out
for
a
five-year
contract
for
the
buses
that
they
think
will
be
better
suited
to
really
driving
performance
and
the
things
that
affect
our
families.
But
the
good
news
for
the
bus
drivers
is
that
they
don't
have
to
worry
that,
depending
on
who
wins
that
contract,
they
won't
have
a
job
or
that
they're
like
labor
protections
and
wages,
won't
be
protected.
O
So
it's
a
pretty
big
shift
for
the
city
to
have
made
that
guarantee
that

the

just
wanted
to

Thank
you
as
chair
I'd,
like
to
limit
the
discussion
on
this
DACA
to
the
sponsors,
as
this
matter
is
connected
to
the
redistricting
process
that
we
are
already
discussing
I
ask
that
we
defer
further
discussions
on
this
matter
to
further
redistricting
hearings
in
working
sessions.
Again
there
will
be
a
redistricting
hearing
tomorrow
at
3
pm
in
a
redistricting
working
session
on
Friday
at
10
A.M
that
Shia
recognizes
Council
Arroyo.
You.
P
Have
the
full
thank
you,
councilman,
president
Flynn,
this
map
represents
the
first
map
filed
before
this
body
for
the
2022
redistricting
process
for
the
city
of
Boston.
It
was
put
together
by
myself
and
district
7
city
council,
Tanya,
Fernandez
Anderson,
and
it's
my
belief
and
I
believe
it's
her
belief
as
well
that
this
map
ensures
the
most
Equitable
path
forward
for
the
city
of
Boston.
It
unifies
communities
of
Interest.
It
maintains
racial
demographics
within
nearly
every
single
District,
as
they
are
currently
comprised,
and
it
has
the
most
parity
for
population
levels.
P
This
map
has
a
parody
or
a
deviation
of
2.55
percent,
which
means
nearly
every
district
is
identical
in
population.
The
unifying
of
neighborhoods
and
communities
of
interest
is
a
foundation
for
this
map.
It
solidifies
the
south
end
in
a
way
that
has
not
been
solidified
in
the
past.
By
doing
so,
it
deals
with
sort
of
of
the
population
growth,
as
folks
will
see
when
other
maps
are
constructed.
P
This
map
does
a
couple
things:
it
unites
the
Vietnamese
Community
around
Fields
Corner
in
District
three,
it
unites
the
Cape
Verdean
community
in
district
7,
and
it
creates
a
strong
lgbtq
plus
community
in
District
3,
while
also
raising
the
total
aapi
population
in
District
3
up
to
18
percent,
which
makes
District
3
a
true
opportunity.
District,
this
map
unifies
the
majority
of
the
South
End
under
one
District.
P
It
also
does
so
in
a
way
that
confirms
that
sort
of
follows
their
state
leadership
and
so
Nick
Collins
is
a
state
senator
for
the
south
end
and
for
Dorchester
and
these
lines
as
constructed
for
district
three,
a
hundred
percent
of
these
precincts
fall
within
that
very
same
district.
This
would
also
create
a
more
unified
Rosendale.
P
Think
many
district
councilors,
at
least
on
on
our
side
of
town,
are
used
to
having
conversations
about
who
represents
me
in
this
on
this
street
and
not
this
street,
and
this
makes
it
more
clear
and
compact
in
that
way.
This
map
conforms
to
all
federal
laws
and
does
so
in
a
way
that
I
think
leads
us
forward
in
a
much
more
Equitable
way,
because
it
ensures
that,
even
though
we
have
lost
black
population
in
the
city
of
Boston
per
our
last
census.
P
We
welcome
input,
I,
look
forward
to
having
those
kinds
of
conversations,
and
so
with
that
I
want
to
thank
the
chair,
Mr
President,
for
making
sure
that
this
will
be
discussed
in
in
those
hearings
along
with
Council
Braden.
So
thank.
M
P
M
B
Q
Thank
you,
council
president
Flynn
I'm,
proud
to
co-sponsor
this
ordinance
with
councilor
Arroyo.
This
map,
I
I'll,
try
to
do
the
best
to
reiterate
some
points
without
being
too
repetitive,
this
map
will
act
to
unify
neighborhoods,
as
Council
Royal
was
mentioning,
leading
to
an
improved
consistency
and
coherence
for
our
districts.
South,
End
and
Mattapan
will
read
the
benefits.
Certainly
of
this.
Meanwhile
Dorchester
one
of
the
most
diverse
neighborhoods
in
the
city
is
not
currently
drawn
up
to
for
the
district
purposes
in
the
manner
that
truly
reflects
that
diversity.
Q
Q
There
must
be
some
alteration
of
D3
District
3,
and
this
map
accounts
for
that
as
well.
These
three
under
this
proposal
would
extend
northward
into
the
south
end
in
return.
D7
district
7
could
attain
some
precincts
that
have
significant
populations
of
black
and
brown
people,
particularly
a
wide
section
of
Cape
Verde
Community,
as
Ricardo
Rory
was
mentioning
Council
Royal
just
mentioned
their
move
into
D7
would
represent
a
form
of
race
and
class
cohesion
with
the
population
of
currently
make
up
the
district.
Q
B
B
D
You,
president
Flynn
I,
would
like
to
suspend
the
rules
and
add
counselor
luigien
as
one
of
the
original
co-sponsors.
D
Thank
you
for
the
West
Roxbury,
we're
seniors
in
West,
Roxbury
and
Roslindale
have
been
organizing
to
secure
a
senior
center
in
their
neighborhood.
That
would
serve
as
a
central
place
for
resource
sharing
a
place
for
community
building
and
connection
in
a
neighborhood
with
the
highest
concentration
of
seniors
in
the
city
and
a
moment
when
our
seniors
are
still
recovering
from
the
impact
of
the
isolation
of
the
covid-19
pandemic.
D
As
it
stands,
representative
at
Coppinger
of
West
Roxbury
has
secured
around
250
000
for
senior
services,
but
the
problem
of
a
permanent
space
remains
West.
Roxbury
is
home
to
the
orenberger
and
roach
community
centers,
where
community-based
organizations
like
ethos
offer
an
array
of
programming
for
seniors.
But
the
challenge
presented
by
the
separate
locations
mean
that
the
programming
is
not
cohesive
and
therefore
does
not
reach
as
many
seniors
as
it
could.
D
I
want
to
thank
at
large
counselors
of
Flaherty
and
lugen
for
supporting
this
effort
and
I
also
like
to
thank
the
administration,
in
particular
Chief
muscle
and
Lisa
Conley,
and
commissioner
Emily
Shea,
who
have
all
been
incredibly
supportive
and
are
looking
forward
to
joining
the
city
council
in
a
conversation
about
how
to
make
this
happen
and
they're,
currently
working
with
all
of
The
Advocates
to
schedule.
A
meeting
in
preparation
for
it.
D
I'm
hopeful
that
this
entire
body
agrees
that
our
seniors
have
dedicated
themselves
to
the
city
and
the
deserve
a
space
where
they
can
congregate
with
the
community
right
in
their
neighborhood.
I
also
want
to
extend
my
thanks
to
all
of
The
Advocates,
who
have
had
numerous
meetings
with
my
staff
have
shown
up
to
events
for
standouts
have
advocated
to
our
office
and
all
of
the
counselor's
office
and
the
mayor
for
their
senior
center
I.
D
B
L
You
Mr
President
and
thank
the
lead
sponsor
for
including
me
as
a
co-sponsor.
These
are
my
peeps
right.
It's
not
the
gray
hair.
It's
not
the
five
car
handle.
It's
not
the
dance
moves,
it's
how
much
I
love
and
appreciate
our
seniors
in
how
they
collectively
have
made
our
city
the
great
City
that
it
is
it's
an
opportunity
for
me
going
to
senior
events
to
thank
them
for
their
commitment
and
service
to
our
city.
It's
an
opportunity
to
thank
Veterans
for
their
service.
L
It's
also
an
opportunity
to
spend
time
with
mothers
and
grandmothers
in
some
instances,
great-grandmothers
who
not
only
raised
their
own
kids,
but
they
raised
other
kids
in
the
neighbors
of
the
city,
so
they
are
and
we
obviously,
as
a
city
are
indebted
to
all
of
them
for
their
service.
There
are
9
000
seniors
in
West
Roxbury,
there's
currently
only
I
believe
five
centers
for
Youth
and
Family
that
just
committed
and
dedicated
just
for
seniors.
So
clearly,
there
is
the
road
Center,
but
this
all
kinds
of
other
programming,
our
seniors,
particularly
seniors
in
which
works.
L
We
deserve
some
space
for
themselves
to
have
senior
programming
and
and
I'll
commit
to
working
hard
with
the
co-sponsors
as
well
as
our
colleagues
here
and
we'll
also
be
as
passionate
as
I
was
for
the
Martin
Richards
field
house.
We
have,
if
there's
ever
a
time
when
the
city
has
resources
it's
now
and
making
sure
we
put
those
resources
to
work,
whether
it's
for
a
field
house
or
a
senior
center
or
anything
in
any
one
of
my
colleagues
District.
L
Please
consider
me
an
ally
and
a
friend
to
get
those
things
accomplished,
as
we
continue
to
move
forward
collectively
together
in
partnership
with
this
Administration.
So
I
will
just
leave
that
that
the
Western
Community
would
benefit
by
having
the
space
and
that's
not
said
not
to
be
said-
that
other
communities
also
don't
need
senior
centers
because
of
a
references.
L
Only
five
bcyf
facilities
in
the
city
that
have
senior
spaces
but
I
think
there's
only
maybe
one
or
two
that
have
direct
dedicated
seniors,
and
this
would
be
obviously
a
great
addition
to
the
city,
obviously
to
Council
of
Ira's
District,
but
but
as
soon
as
we
can
have
an
expedited
hearing
on
it,
I
look
forward
to
getting
the
input
from
our
seniors
and
worked
with
the
elderly
commission
age,
strong
folks
to
see
how
we
can
make
this
a
reality.
Thank
you,
Mr
chair.
K
Thank
you,
president
Flynn,
and
thank
you
councilada
for
adding
me
and
Council
Flaherty
for
your
work
here.
The
need
to
provide
spaces
where
our
seniors
can
gather
is
important.
That
was
reflected,
especially
so
during
the
pandemic,
as
we
saw
a
lot
of
our
seniors
experience
that
time
in
isolation,
so
I'm
incredibly
excited
to
support
this
effort
so
that
our
elderly
residents
are
able
to
find
have
spaces
where
they
can
gather
with
dignity
and
in
dignity
with
everybody
else,
and
so
I
know
that
this
is
there's
I've
talked
to
commissioner
Shea.
K
Before
about
the
need
for
us
to
have
more
senior
centers,
especially
in
the
southern
part
of
our
city.
High
Park
could
also
there's
none
in
High,
Park
or
Roslindale.
So,
if
we
think
about
what
the
need
is
there,
the
need
for
us
to
really
come
back
to
your
loneliness
is
important,
which
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
fought
for
Opera
funding
for
us
to
provide
for
engaging
activity.
Use
for
our
seniors.
K
B
You
thank
you
Council
Louisiana.
Would
anyone
else
like
to
speak
on
this
matter
or
rage
or
or
sponsor
it?
Please
raise
your
hand
Mr
Clark.
Please
add:
council
Royal,
Council,
Baker,
councilor,
Braden,
Council,
Coletta,
Council,
Mejia,
councilor,
Murphy,
Council,
we're
all
and
please
add
the
chair
and
I
I
would
just
like
to
note.
Thank
you
to
the
sponsors
for
bringing
this
forward
into
into
Council
of
Flaherty,
and
your
commitment
to
your
seniors
to
seniors
across
the
city.
B
You've
Really,
Got,
That
advocacy
from
from
your
mother,
who
was
a
tireless
worker
in
support
of
our
seniors,
whether
it
was
in
South
Boston
it
was
in
Roxboro,
was
in
Jamaica
Plains.
So
we
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you,
Council
Flaherty,
but,
more
importantly
to
you
to
your
mother,
Peggy
Flaherty
docket
one
one.
Eight
seven
will
be
referred
to
the
committee
on
strong
woman,
family
families
and
children,
communities,
Mr
clerk.
Please
read
docket
one
one,
eight
eight,
please.
C
D
Thank
you,
president
Flynn,
before
I
give
my
remarks.
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
as
the
chair
of
ways
and
means
counselor,
Kenzie
Bach
has
stewarded
this
process
through
the
city
council
before
I
believe
in
in
2020
and
I.
Think
that,
as
a
practice,
the
city
council
should
have
this
process
happen.
D
Whenever
there
is
abpa
contract
on
the
floor
because,
as
counselor
Brock
has
said
before
and
as
I
have
stated,
the
bppa
contract
is
a
policy
document
and
transparency
in
how
our
government
works
is
essential
to
a
process
that
has
brought
much
contention,
not
only
here
in
the
city,
but
all
across
the
country.
My
office
is
Hope
and
councilor.
D
Royal
office's
hope
is
that
we
provide
a
forum
that
will
give
us
Baseline
information
for
the
contract
process,
allow
the
council
to
share
or
affirm
our
priorities
and
give
Community
open
Forum
to
share
their
vision
for
the
new
bppa
contract.
We're
very
much
aware
that,
there's
certain
information
that
the
public
is
not
allowed
to
know
due
to
the
collective
bargaining
process
and
that
the
city
council
does
not
sit
at
the
bargaining
table,
but
we
want
the
community
to
hear
from
the
administration.
D
What
is
the
plan
for
the
community
process
how
far
along
we
are
and
how
we
expect
the
process
to
move
forward
during
the
negotiation
stage?
This
hearing
is
meant
to
be
an
informative
hearing
that
sheds
lights
on
the
information
that
all
of
the
folks,
not
only
in
District
six
but
across
the
city,
have
been
asking
to
receive
and
that's
why
I
look
forward
to
having
it
happen.
D
We've
already
been
in
conversations
with
the
administration
who
said
that
they're
more
than
happy
to
come
and
update
the
council
about
where
we
are,
and
although
we're
unsure
about
what
the
mayor's
process
for
Community
engagement,
looks
like
myself
and
councilor.
Roy
are
committed
to
create
open
forum
for
people
to
come
and
share
their
priorities
here
on
the
council
and
hope
to
have
a
hearing
similar
to
our
budget
hearings
where
people
can
come
and
just
share
public
testimony
about
what
they're.
Looking
for
in
the
bppa
contract,
thank
you.
P
I,
don't
want
to
add
too
much
to
that
I
just
want
to
thank
councilor
Lara
for
her
leadership
here
and
councilor
Bach
for
her
leadership
on
this
contract
and
sort
of
the
contract
process
and
the
work
that
she
has
done
on
her
time
on.
The
council
on
this
I
think
it's
important
that
we
have
a
sense
of
the
timeline,
a
sense
of
the
goals
and
the
sense
of
how
the
community
engagement
process
goes
here
within
where
the
law
allows
and
how
the
law
allows,
and
so
I
look
forward
to
sort
of
getting
that
update.
M
P
B
O
The
reality
is
that
there
are
Charter,
there's
a
charter
provision
and
also
there's
a
fair
bargaining
law
in
Massachusetts.
That
will
limit
the
types
of
things
that
we
can
ask.
The
administration
to
give
us
chapter
and
verse
on,
but
I
think
that
there's
definitely
room
inside
of
that
for
us
to
get
as
much
update
on
the
process
as
we
can
from
them
and
then
also,
as
counselor
alluded
to
to
really
hear
from
community
and
hear
from
counselors,
and
also
raise
back
up
some
of
the
issues.
O
O
Another
had
to
do
with
you
know
how
we
think
about
civilianization
and
civilian
work
and
and
issues
around
the
way
that
over
time
and
details
are
structured
in
the
contract.
So
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
substance
that
we've
discussed
before
in
the
council
over
the
last
two
years,
but
it
would
be
good
with
this
new
Administration.
K
You
president,
Flynn
and
I
want
to
just
thank
the
sponsors
and
just
say
during
the
budget
process.
A
lot
of
us
had
brought
a
lot
brought
up
a
lot
of
issues
that
were
actually
relevant
for
the
contract
process.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
this
to
get
a
lot
of
clarity
on
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
were
brought
up
during
the
budget
process
and
also
there's
been
a
lot
of
community
engagement
around
this
issue
during
our
budget
process,
but
also
a
lot
of
really
great
work.
K
Put
out
that
I'm
excited
for
us
to
hear
from
and
how
it
informs
things
like
just
termination
raining
in
overtime.
So
I
really
look
forward
to
this
opportunity
to
really
delve
deeply
into
what
is
the
second
largest
budget
item
that
we
are
called
to
vote
on
and
think
about.
So
thank
you
to
the
makers.
B
L
I
think
I
speak
for
probably
all
Municipal
Employees
and
bargaining
units
no
bargaining
unit,
whether
it's
the
bppa
or
anyone
should
be
out
over
two
years,
and
that
seems
to
have
been
the
trend
with
the
city.
We
should
be
engaging
in
discussions
and
talks
well
before
the
termination
of
that
contract
in
an
effort
to
try
to
get
a
new
contract
turned
around
so
I'm
sure
the
bppa
would
welcome
this
discussion.
I
know
I
would,
but
it
shouldn't
just
be
limited
to
the
bppa.
L
We
should
be
literally
looking
at
all
collective
bargaining
agreements,
let's
find
out
who
and
how
many
are
a
year
out
two
years
three
years,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day
the
taxpayer
is
on
the
hook
for
the
Retro
right.
So
when
we
do
actually
settle
this
contract
and
other
contracts,
they
have
to
run
them
back
and
then,
before
you
know
it
it's
back
up
again.
L
We
really
need
to
kind
of
be
a
little
bit
more
prudent
and
fiscally
responsible
we're
dealing
with
these
contracts,
as
they're
expiring,
in
an
effort
to
try
to
get
to
to
that
and
I'm
all
for
obviously
the
accountability
piece.
The
transparency
piece
collaboration
Community
engagement.
This
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
to
boast
how
we
have
the
best
community
policing
model
in
the
country
in
his
efforts
across
the
country,
around
sort
of
the
the
defund
concept.
L
Cities
are
upside
down
across
the
country,
Seattle
San,
Francisco,
Philadelphia,
New,
York,
Baltimore,
Pittsburgh,
Minneapolis,
and
on
and
on
and
on,
because
we
have
a
great
community
policing
model
because
we
have
a
well-trained
force.
So
we
perfect.
No,
we
are
not,
but
we're
in
in
a
much
better
position
than
a
lot
of
these
other
cities,
and
so
the
time
has
come
obviously
to
let's
have
that
discussion.
Let's,
let's
bring
folks
in.
L
Let's
talk
about
our
Police
Department,
let's
as
a
body
give
them
the
support
and
the
resources,
they
need
to
continue
the
great
work
that
they're
doing
again
just
turn
on
the
news:
Street
violence
alone,
break-ins
across
the
country.
L
Like
we
have
through
our
budget
process
in
terms
of
things
that
we
think
where
we
think
resources
should
go
and
where
they
shouldn't
go
and
and
adding
hair
and
taking
from
here,
so
all
for
that,
and
so
hopefully,
and
if
depending
on
sort
of
obviously
where
it
goes,
I'm
assuming
it's
in
the
ways
and
means
I
think
an
expedited
hearing,
but
again
I,
don't
want
to
just
limit
it
to
one
collective
bargaining
unit.
O
Just
wanted
to
very
quickly
just
as
an
addendum
on
a
point
of
information
on
Council
clarity's
comments
that
we
have
in
in
city
services
over
the
last
few
of
these
hearings,
talk
to
the
administration
about
that
and
so
I
think
we
have
a
pretty
up-to-date
list
of
who's
still
out
which
I'm
happy
to
provide,
but
also.
O
That
the
Administration
has
made
that
commitment
on
the
floor
that
they're
looking
to
get
to
a
place
of
actually
negotiating
contracts
before
they
lapse,
instead
of
not
even
sitting
down
at
the
table
until
after
they
left.
So
that
is
something
I
think
we
should
hold
the
administration
to,
but
I
just
wanted
it
on
the
record
that
that
was
a
commitment
that
they
had
made
before
us
at
one
of
those
prior
hearings.
B
G
G
I
see
this
as
a
unique
opportunity
for
us
to
really
look
into
these
conversations
and
dive
in
with
a
government,
accountability
and
transparency
lens,
because
oftentimes
these
behind
closed
door
deals
that
you
know
happen
without
the
publicly
understanding
always
feels
like
things
are
being
done
to
us
without
us.
G
So
I
really
do
appreciate
having
an
open
Forum
where
people
could
be
fully
expressed
and
and
I'm
not
saying
that
I
want
this
in
my
committee,
but
I
will
just
say
that
the
government,
accountability
and
transparency
committee
also
looks
at
the
post
audit
and
regardless
of
whether
or
not
where
this
Falls
I
think
there
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
look
at
all
the
dollars
that
we
have
approved
in
this
budget
cycle
and
do
a
deeper
dive
to
look
at
what
our
return
on
investment
looks
like.
So
that's
all
I
have
to
say
thank.
B
You
thank
you
Council
Mejia.
Would
anyone
like
to
add
their
name?
Please

As

please

B
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Council
Brad,
our
Human
Service
workers
serve
our
residents
and
families
with
intellectual
and
physical
disabilities,
people
struggling
with
mental
health
issues,
substance
use
disorders,
children
and
people
who
need
support,
securing
housing
in
economic
benefits.
We
have
seen
this
tremendous
work
across
our
city
across
our
state.
The
work
is
critical
in
people's
lives
depend
on
them.
They
ensure
everyone
can
live
in
a
safe
and
healthy
environment.
Whether
it's
here
in
Boston
across
across
our
state
as
well.
B
Human
Services,
is
among
the
fastest
growing
sectors
in
the
state,
and
there
are
there
are
over
150
000
Human
Service
workers
in
Massachusetts
alone,
and
they
provide
critical
care
and
services
to
so
many
residents
in
need.
So
it's
important
that
we
recognize
the
contribution
of
Human
Service
workers
and
support
them
in
any
way.
We
can
I
hope
we
can
suspend
and
pass
this
resolution
today.
Thank
you,
Council
Braden,.
N
I
also
want
to
recognize
that
so
many
of
these
workers
are
immigrants
and
women
from
across
the
world
who
come
here
and
who
work
in
this
sector
and
work
very
hard
to
make
a
better
life
for
themselves
and
their
families,
and
they
make
an
invaluable
contribution
to
our
communities
and
to
our
city.
So
it's
with
great
pleasure
that
I
join
you
in
recognizing
these.
The
great
work
that
our
essential
workers,
these
essential
workers,
these
Human
Service
workers,
do
every
day.
B
D
Thank
you,
president
Flynn,
and
thank
you
to
councilor
Braden,
for
both
of
you
adding
me
as
a
sponsor
to
this
important
resolution,
recognizing
the
incredible
work
of
our
Human
Service
workers
in
Boston
and
Statewide,
our
Human
Service
workers
don't
get
the
recognition
that
they
deserve
every
day.
They
face
cases
that
constantly
change
problems
that
evolve
as
the
world's
Dynamics
shift,
and
yet
they
meet
these
issues
head
on
and
with
Grace
recognition
for
their
courage
is
but
a
gesture.
D
As
a
body
and
a
city,
we
must
recognize
their
sacrifices
and
ensure
that
they
have
the
resources
to
succeed.
Our
families,
children
and
neighbors
will
be
better
for
it.
So,
on
behalf
of
all
other
city,
kids
like
myself,
who
have
directly
benefited
from
Human
Service
workers,
whether
it
be
through
bcyf
or
any
other
City
program,
and
now,
as
a
parent
of
an
autistic
child
who
has
benefited
from
the
care
and
attention
of
numerous
therapists.
I
wanted
to
extend
my
thanks
and
very
happy
to
be
sponsoring.
This
resolution.
B
K
Flynn
and
thank
you
to
the
sponsors,
I
am
not
going
to
belabor
the
point.
I
didn't
wasn't
aware
that
there
was
a
Human
Service
this
week,
but
I
just
want
to
rise
in
recognition
of
all
of
the
incredible
work
that
they
do.
My
two
older
sisters,
our
Human
Service
workers,
and
they
are
incredible,
one
of
whom
just
organized
her
workplace,
so
I
just
want
and
I
know
that
they
just
deal
with
a
lot
every
single
day
and
sacrifice
a
lot
of
their
time
to
make
sure
that
others
are
cared
for
to
ensure
their
well-being.
K
B
G
Just
wanted
to
thank
the
sponsors
and
to
add
my
name
yeah,
that's
it
yeah.
That's
it.
B
Thank
you
councilman
here.
Would
anyone
like
to
add
their

Please

your
hand.

G
Thank
you,
Mr
President
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
we
filed
the
17
F's,
not
because
the
city
was
not
responsive
to
our
request.
It
was
just
more
for
time
we
expedited
processes,
because
we
were
working
in
collaboration
with
the
bu
spark
initiative
to
help
us
identify
ways
that
we
can
better
serve
our
community
and
we
just
needed
some
baseline
data,
so
just
want
to
go
on
the
record
and
stating
that
the
administration
would
have
probably
responded
to
us,
but
we
were
just
in
a
very
expedited
situation.
So,
thank
you.
That's
it

The

that
they're

three
late
file

The
late
file
matters
include
a
personal,
a
Personnel
order
from
councilor
Murphy,
a
resolution
celebrating
Hispanic
Heritage
Month
in
ordinance
on
surveillance
oversight
and
information
sharing
from
Council
of
Flaherty.
B
B
C
Resolution
offered
by
city
council
president
Ed
Flynn
resolution
celebrating
National
Hispanic
Heritage
Month,
whereas
every
year
National
Hispanic
Heritage
Month,
is
a
observed
from
September
15
to
October
15th.
During
the
course
of
the
month.
We
recognize
the
immense
contributions
that
Hispanic
and
Latino
Americans
bring
to
our
city
and
Country
and
celebrate
their
Rich
cultures
and
histories.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
ordered
that
the
Boston
city
council
celebrates
National,
Hispanic
Heritage
Month
from
September
15
to
October
15th
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
pays
tribute
to
the
Hispanic
and
Latino
American
community.
B
Thank
you,
Council
Braden,
it's
an
honor
to
talk
about
Hispanic,
Heritage,
Month
and
I'm,
proud
to
represent
the
lodge,
has
spent
Hispanic
latinx
Community
here
here
in
Boston.
According
to
the
2020
census,
there
are
62
million
Hispanic
and
Latino
Americans
here
in
the
United
States
Massachusetts
makes
up
about
13
percent
of
our
population.
Boston
is
around
20
percent.
B
We
also
are
very
fortunate
to
have
so
many
Civic
organizations
in
our
city
in
our
state
that
work
with
the
Hispanic
and
latinx
Community
I'll
mention
mention
just
a
few
of
them,
but
even
in
my
neighborhood
of
South
Boston,
the
South
Boston
and
Axion
there's
a
lot
of
Outreach,
especially
during
this
pandemic.
They
did
a
lot
of
food
access,
food
access
issues
and
the
Puerto
Rican
veterans,
Monument,
Square
Association
and
the
South
End
they
don't.
They
do
incredible.
Work
representing
veterans,
making,
sure
Puerto,
Rican
veterans
are
treated
with
respect
and
dignity.
B
I
have
the
opportunity,
when
I
lived
in
Cuba
for
a
year
to
work
with
the
Puerto
Rican
Army,
National,
Guard
and
I
saw
how
professional
these
soldiers
are
so
I'm
filing
this
resolution
to
honor
their
contributions
in
achievements
and
to
thank
them
for
helping
make
making
Boston
a
stronger
city
in
the
United
States
a
stronger
country,
I
hope
we
can
suspend
and
pass
this
resolution
today.
Thank
you,
Council
Braden.
R
Thank
you,
counselor
Braden
I'd
like
to
thank
the
maker,
and
please
add
my
name
and
in
this
space
I
always
like
to
honor
and
celebrate
my
grandmother,
Celia
Trujillo,
because
at
the
time
she
did
not
even
or
she
could
not
even
celebrate
herself
in
the
1960s,
because
she
was
told
to
assimilate
here
into
essentially
whitewash
herself.
R
So
it's
like
to
say
her
name
in
these
spaces,
but
I'm
honored,
to
represent
the
beautiful
community
of
East
Boston
home
to
thousands
of
individuals
from
Central
and
Latin
America,
who
have
immigrated
here
from
places
like
Colombia,
El,
Salvador,
Mexico,
Guatemala,
Peru
and

process.
L
They've
asked
for
more
time

policy,

for
December
the
14th.
L
So
as

all
involved
asking
for
a
