B
Thank
you
very
much
councillor
and
thanks
for
having
us
here
today.
I
am
very,
very
privileged
to
be
joined
here
with
some
of
my
colleagues
from
inspectional
services
who
I
get
a
chance
to
work
with,
as
well
as
the
teams
of
Parks
and
Rec,
as
well
as
the
teams
at
the
Environment
Department
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have
on
on
that.
These
are
just
a
few
members
of
the
Walsh
administration
who
are
focused
on
making
Boston
a
more
healthy,
innovative
and
thriving
city
from
particular
protecting
our
consumers
through
restaurant
and
price
scanner.
B
Although
we're
proud
of
the
progress
we've
made
at
ISD
under
Mayor,
Walsh's
leadership,
Commissioner,
Christopher
and
I
are
dedicated
to
making
further
improvements
to
make
the
customer
experience
more
efficient
and
make
the
city
safer.
So
with
that
brief
introduction,
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
if
it
pleases,
the
chair,
I'd
like
to
have
Commissioner
Christopher,
give
an
opening
statement,
introduce
the
rest
of
the
team
and
get
more
details
on
our
plans
for
FY
19.
Thank
you.
C
Good
morning,
I
always
look
forward
to
these
hearings,
because
it's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
talk
about
the
great
successes
we're
having
at
inspectional
services.
Some
of
the
greatest
metamorphose
about
ISD
is
its
management
structure,
how
we
implement
work
and
how
we
record
our
accomplishments.
It's
not
always
about
adding
staff,
our
budget
to
items
it's
more
about
efficiently,
handling,
constituent
complaints
and
concerns.
A
C
It's
it's
helping
us
implement
a
new
program
of
how
we're
going
to
inspect
buildings
throughout
the
city
of
Boston.
Previously
it
was
all
based
on
wards
where
an
individual
inspector
was
identified
into
a
ward
and
I
know
a
number
of
you.
The
councillors
got
calls
about
us
not
having
enough
inspectors
in
a
ward.
What
we've
done
is
we've
redefined
the
city
into
five
major
districts,
and
we
now
have
teams
of
inspectors
that
are
working
in
those
five
districts.
We
hope
to
keep
a
common
face
in
the
wards,
because
that
does
create
a
synergy.
C
That's
really
important
for
the
relationship
of
our
community
with
contractors
and
development
and
we've
also
with
the
advent
of
the
five
new
positions,
are
actually
creating.
What
we're
calling
a
complaint
team.
A
form
of
this
has
existed
in
the
past,
but
this
is
going
to
be
specifically
to
deal
with
those
concerns
that
come
in,
so
that
we
can
address
them
quickly,
as
well
as
maintain
a
constant
inspection
program
for
the
rest
of
the
city.
A
To
that
point,
when
you
said
quickly,
I'm
just
thinking
of
a
situation,
it
literally
just
happened
last
Thursday
and
Friday
and
I
want
to
commend
especially
Brian
Rowan
and
Sean
Lydon
for
getting
out
there.
You
know
somebody
was
preparing
their
yard
to
be
totally
paved
over,
got
the
call
from
the
the
residence
of
budding
residents.
They
were
out
there,
the
the
very
next
day,
I
got
the
call
I
think
in
mid-afternoon,
and
they
were
out
there
the
first
day
of
the
next
day,
shut
them
down.
Those
are
the
kinds
of
issues.
A
C
C
There
are
some
that
are
more
involved
that
involve
involve
more
housing
and
more
negotiations,
but
overall
I
feel
the
department
has
become
very,
very
responsive
and
there's
a
whole
ideological
change
that
we
are
there
to
assist,
as
opposed
to
just
you
know,
issue
fines,
kind
of
an
approach.
You
are.
A
C
There
were
two
departments
that
the
skill
sets:
a
very
very
unique
building.
Inspectors
have
to
come
to
the
table
with
five
years
of
supervisory
experience
in
that
field,
they're
reviewed
by
the
state
for
their
certification.
They
then
have
to
pass
an
exam
with
and
I
believe
it's
18
months,
that
is
state-certified
in
the
planning
in
Zanic
planning
and
zoning
department,
it's
even
more
difficult
because
we
have
a
higher
bar
that
they
have
to
attain.
We
do
a
lot
of
outreach.
We
reach
out
to
a
lot
of
universities
we
reach
out
to
industry.
A
D
You
counsel,
siamo
Thank,
You
Commissioner
for
being
here
I've,
said
a
couple
questions.
I
know
you
mentioned
the
complaint
team
that
you
have.
Can
you
give
us
a
little
bit
of
background
about
the
complaint
team
as
it
relates
to
especially
non-working
traditional
working
hours,
whether
it's
weekends
or
after
hours
after.
C
Hours
permits
are
how
I
spend
my
weekend.
There
are
a
body
of
people
that
either
through
ignorance
or
by
choice,
feel
they
need
to
work
on
weekends.
There
are
situations
that
we
absolutely
allow
it
if
there's
a
critical
path
involved
in
a
project.
If
a
contractor
has
worked
with
the
community
to
identify
the
period,
they
need
to
go
out
and
do
some
specialty
work
if
it
involves
enhanced
Public,
Safety,
the
erection
of
a
crane
or
street
cutting
that
would
cause
more
public
harm
during
the
week.
C
You
will
allow
that
there
have
been
certain
neighborhoods
throughout
the
city
that
have
asked
us
specifically
to
limit
work
in
a
very
big
way,
and
we
do
respond
to
that.
We
do
internally
publish
a
list
of
those
job
sites
that
are
able
to
work
on
the
weekends.
If
we
have
a
question
about
it,
we
defer
the
project
to
the
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
so
we
can
make
sure
that
the
community
is
in
understanding
about
what's
going
to
happen,
but
there
are
also
a
group
of
people
that
just
choose
to
work.
C
I
will
not
stop
somebody
whose
homeowner
that's
working
on
reciting
their
house
during
the
course
of
the
week
and
I
think
that's
you
know
totally
within
the
guidelines
of
zoning
and
the
building
code.
But
if
it's
a
for-profit
individual,
that's
doing
work
purely
for
the
selfish
reason
of
accelerating
their
schedule,
then.
Yes,
we
deal
with
that
very
very
quickly.
There
is
a
three
hundred
dollar
fine
for
doing
it.
D
You,
commissioner,
one
more
one
more
question,
as
relates
to
animal
control,
we're
having
a
hearing
May
18th
on
the
recent
stray
voltage
incidents
in
the
city
of
Boston
impacting
pets.
It's
my
hope
that
this
session
would
allow
us
to
work
with
the
city
of
Boston
Department's
state
government
agencies,
utility
companies
to
try
to
come
up
with
the
solution
about
what's
happening.
C
We're
very
aware
that
you
know
the
unfortunate
age
of
a
lot
of
our
systems
have
left
situations
so
that
they,
you
know,
the
idea
of
a
dog
being
shocked
is
a
reality.
You
know
there
were
two
recently
cases
and
in
both
cases
it
was
after
a
period
of
rain.
Water
is
a
great
conductor.
Some
frayed
are
aged.
Electrical
lines
will
cause
a
problem.
This
is
an
inter
department
and
also
state
and
local
and
a
cooperation.
C
It's
going
to
be
required
because
a
lot
of
the
walking
paths
that
are
not
on
city
land,
you
know
they
do
have
lighting,
and
the
only
answer
I
can
give
you
to.
This
effect
is
the
more
we
know
about
it.
The
more
we
can
do
it.
I
know
this
state
in
the
Parks,
Department
and
DC
are
all
addressing
this
and
trying
to
deal
with
their
infrastructure.
But
if
it's
an
isolated
case,
we
hope
to
hear
about
it
quickly,
so
we
can
work
on
it
immediately.
Thank.
E
Mccarthy
travesty
chair
in
welcome,
commissioner
chief,
just
a
couple
things
I
was
like
this
style
would
thank
yous
because
you
know
we
do
a
lot
of
an
awful
lot
of
work
with
10
10
massive
and
certainly
an
awful
lot
of
work
with
ISD.
So
calling
Kennedy,
Lisa
company,
Joe
Cox,
of
course,
and
Chris
Broderick
have
been
instrumental
in
district
5,
helping
us
always
answering
our
calls
immediately
answering
our
e-mails
back
and
in,
and
so
importantly,
especially
on
the
the
Lisa
and
Colleen.
E
E
Continuing
I'm
still
concerned
and
I've
said
you
offline,
I'm,
still
concerned
that
you
know
you
you're
the
athlete,
that's
taking
on
more
and
more
issues
more
and
more
moving
parts
without
enough
people.
So
I
am
concerned
about
how
many
people
you
have
and
how
many
people
you're
adding
on.
So
you
can
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
for.
C
Me
I'm
sorry
I
hear
about
this
almost
every
day
from
both
staff
it
in
at
ISD
and
it's
out
in
the
street
and
I
think
I
stated
last
year
at
these
hearings
that
it's
not
always
about
just
throwing
bodies
at
a
situation,
it's
being
able
to
analyze
the
situation,
so
the
resources
that
we
have
deployed
in
the
most
efficient
manner.
The
reorganization
of
the
building
department
itself
is
a
major
issue.
C
We
have
a
senior
management
team
at
ISD,
now
made
up
of
ten
people
that
have
all
been
empowered
so
that
within
their
divisions
they
can
make
logical
decisions.
Nothing
is
bottlenecked
as
we
go
forward
issues
like
the
recreational
cannabis,
the
plastic
bag,
ordinance
Airbnb
for
the
first
time
in
a
lot
of
administrations.
We
are
at
the
table
when
these
discussions
are
taking
place,
so
the
enforcement
piece
is
always
being
analyzed
and
looked
at
Airbnb
is
one
that
is
not
fully
resolved.
C
Yet
we've
been
going
back
and
forth
with
the
council
to
determine
what
is
the
right
policy
that
we
wanted
to
put
into
place.
At
that
point,
we
will
determine
you
know
what
the
right
enforcement
will
be.
That
has
not
been
included
in
our
budget
this
year
at
all,
because
we
really
don't
know
what
the
magnitude
of
that
is.
The
cannabis
situation
is
a
very
big
one.
We
work
very
closely
with
our
partners
at
the
b
ra
to
determine
what
makes
sense
in
terms
of
zoning
moving
forward.
C
I
think
we
have
written
a
really
good
policy
around
that
as
we
go
forward.
It
like
many
things
is:
are
in
their
infancy
right
now,
we
don't
know
how
this
is
gonna
all
play
out.
We've
analysed
all
the
cities
and
around
the
country
that
have
been
dealing
with
it,
Colorado
being
the
the
leader
in
this
right
now,
we've
modeled
a
lot
of
our
dances
based
on
a
lot
of
data
that
they
collected
in
general
across
the
municipality
I,
think
we're
prepared
to
bring
it
on.
But
as
always,
we
as
we
move
forward.
C
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
ability
to
manipulate
our
enforcement
packages
so
that
we
do
it
properly
so
that
it's
not
just
haphazard
or
wasteful
efforts,
but
I
honestly
do
believe
that
the
culture
and
isd
has
changed
radically.
I
give
mayor
Walsh
the
credit
for
all
of
that
because
of
the
ideology
the
response
time.
We
understand
that
you
know
someone's
small
issue
in
the
bigger
city
issues
is
no
small
issue
to
them.
C
The
staff
I
really
have
to
come
in
because
they
treat
each
issue
that
way
so
I
think
that
you
know
we're
marching
in
the
absolute
right
direction
through
the
management
policies.
Last
year
we
actually
came
out
with
the
deficit
in
our
budget,
which
was
really
good.
We've
got
staffing
situations
that
are
challenging
Mari
who's.
C
The
this
is
the
commission
for
HR
she's,
constantly
trying
to
find
the
right
people
to
do
the
right
jobs
I'd
prefer
to
take
a
little
bit
more
time
to
make
sure
that
I've
got
the
right
personalities
in
that
position,
rather
than
I
would
just
to
plug
it
with
a
body
and
then
I
have
to
deal
with
those
issues
yeah.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
F
Morning,
good
morning,
when
I
echo,
the
thanks
from
all
of
our
colleagues,
you
all
have
always
been
extremely
responsive
and
it's
been
great
to
work
on
such
a
wide
variety
of
issues.
Over
the
last
couple
of
months,
I
wanted
to
start
with
some
of
the
performance
measures
numbers
just
to
get
a
sense.
So,
on
the
page
where
it
talks
about
CBA
appeals,
filed
and
CBA
decisions
filed,
it
looks
like
there's
a
you're
predicting
a
big
drop
in
decisions
and
appeals.
C
In
general,
council
I
think
that
you
know
the
way
zoning
is
being
dealt
with
now.
Some
of
the
newer
zoning
that
we've
written
in
in
South
Boston
is
really
lending
itself
to
being
more
developer-friendly.
I
also
think
the
educational
piece
about
how
zoning
works
is
is
helping
us
an
awful
lot,
so
people
are
really
sculpting
their
projects
so
that
we
can
have
more
as
a
right
project
rather
than
those
appeals.
I
think
that
the
Planning
and
Zoning
Department
in
and
of
itself
has
really
prioritized
how
they
deal
with
projects.
C
If
we
can
knock
off
some
easier
ones,
we
do
so.
The
efficiency
numbers
go
up
there.
The
board
of
appeals
with
the
subcommittee
has
proved
to
be
an
excellent
way
of
dealing
with
a
lot
of
projects
so
that
those
projections
are
not
based
on
a
limitation
of
new
projects.
Developing
we
still
see
the
city
growing
at
a
tremendous
rate.
F
Thank
you
so,
overall,
it's
sounding
like
it's
not
that
the
sort
of
development
pipe
it's
not
that
the
market
is
necessary,
slowing
down
and
that's
what
the
numbers
are
reflecting.
It's
more:
the
efficiency
of
the
department
and
a
move
towards
trying
to
agree
on
the
planning
ahead
of
time,
rather
than
sort
of
duking
it
out
in
the
appeals
process.
Every
time,
absolutely
okay
and
then,
in
terms
of
the
restaurant
inspections,
a
big
decrease
in
the
number
of
inspections
predicted
between
FY
17
and
18
I.
Don't.
C
Necessarily
agree
with
that
number
I
think
the
inspection
is
going
to
be
the
same,
because
we're
required
to
visit
every
restaurant
every
year.
We
do
see
the
profile
of
restaurants,
changing
that
number
fluctuates
up
and
down,
but
I
think,
overall
again
through
the
outreach
programs
that
ISDN
is
done,
we
are
having
less
problems
with
them.
The
actual
number
of
inspections
will
not
change
them.
Okay,.
C
Going
tremendous
we
see
all
the
predictions
that
we
had
made
in
the
very
beginning.
The
number
of
A's
coming
out
is
tremendous.
We're
starting
to
see
a
lot
of
tourism
is,
is
using
this
information
to
select
restaurants,
because
they
feel
that
it's
safe
and
comfortable,
and
we
also
see
that
the
restaurant
industry
is
done
a
tremendous
job
about
stepping
up
to
the
plate
and
being
more
proactive
and
in
their
resolve
before
it
becomes
an
issue.
C
F
And
then
I
guess
it's
a
larger
question
about
given
the
pace
of
development,
particularly
in
some
of
the
neighborhoods
outside
downtown.
Now
that
we're
seeing
a
lot
going
on
in
district
5
and-
and
you
know
further
from
downtown
what
is
the
process
like
of
inspections
being
able
to
kind
of
match
and
check
to
make
sure
that
everything
was
built
according
to
what
was
actually
approved,
whether
it
was
the
specific
design,
details
or
the
height
or
something
else.
C
Those
those
standards
have
not
changed
at
all,
I
mean
we're
in
the
9th
edition
of
the
building
code.
Right
now,
the
changes
were
really
not
substantive
into
that.
It
was
more
dealing
with
energy
efficiency
is
probably
one
of
the
paramount
issues
in
the
building
code.
Zoning
as
I
say
we
are
an
active
part
of
that
discussion
so
that
we're
able
to
deal
with
issues
before
they
become
issues.
The
reorganization
of
the
building
department,
for
the
actual
feel
that
inspections,
we
think,
is
already
starting
to
show
some
real
positive
improvements
under
the
old
system.
C
If
you're
WOD
inspector
was
on
vacation,
you
didn't
get
an
inspection,
we
all
felt
that
was
unreasonable.
So
what
we
are
doing
by
creating
teams,
each
team
will
have
four
of
four
or
five
in
some
cases,
six
wards
those
inspectors
will
cover
for
each
other
so
that
you
should
not
see
a
downtime
in
the
inspection
response
time.
C
F
C
You've
got
to
realize
we
have
the
projected
which
the
inspections
that
we
know
we're
going
to
do,
there's
also
a
whole
series
of
reactive
inspections.
That's
a
number
that
we
can't
control
I
mean
every
time
we
get
the
complaint,
we're
out
there
right
now,
I,
don't
understand
why
there's
such
a
huge
differential
there,
but.
F
F
Okay
and
then
my
final
point
was
on
construction
mitigation
and
this
kind
of
overlaps
with
the
environmental
and
sustainability
piece,
so
I'm
hearing
a
lot
from
residents-
and
you
know
I
hear
about
the
one
right
next
door
to
me.
A
lot
from
the
person
who
lives
in
my
bedroom
with
me
about
the
construction
then
causing
dirt
to
Eero
it
all
the
way
down
in
the
street
there's
sort
of
mud
all
over
our
area.
F
C
None
of
that
runoff
is
legal,
a
construction
site
is
not
allowed
to
adversely
affect
it's
about
or
whether
it
be
another
resident
or
the
city
there.
Each
project
that
comes
in
to
us
has
to
have
an
on-site
stall
mitigation
program
that
they
go
through
during
construction.
So
if
you're,
seeing
an
adverse
effect
to
the
abut
is
that
is
a
problem
and
there's
something
we're
notified.
3-1-1
does
a
tremendous
job
of
all
getting
that
information
to
us
within
hours.
Okay,.
A
G
In
good
morning
to
everybody,
as
the
longest-serving
council,
I
have
to
say
that
particularly
commissioner
buddy
Christopher,
you've
been
the
most
visible,
the
most
accessible
and
the
most
proactive
Commissioner
I
know
in
at
least
my
time
here.
Arguably
probably
in
the
city
where
and
I
can
say,
this
many
of
your
predecessors
would
be
chained
to
the
desk
I
guess
over
a
10
10
minutes.
G
Had
to
be
everywhere,
yeah
and
also
having
been
on
the
other
side
of
the
counter-
and
he
did
that's
a
big
part
of
that
and
I
think
that,
as
we
think
about
sort
of
future,
you
know
leaders
and
commissioners
and
superintendents
that
it
it's
it's
you've
been
a
consumer.
You've
been
on
the
other
side,
so
you
should
have
already
had
a
jump
start
on
sort
of
what
was
not
working
and
you've
made
some
great
strides
and
not
alone.
G
You've
got
a
great
team
folks
that
are
here
with
you,
but
quick,
shout
out
to
DeSean
Lydon
to
Brian
Ronan
to
Joe
Cox
into
to
my
client's.
Obviously,
all
utility
infield
is
for
your
team
over
there
they're
tremendous
and
it's
always
on
a
late
Friday
afternoon
or
or
sometime
over
the
weekend
or
it's
a
first
thing
Monday
morning,
but
they
get
right
after
it.
So
I
just
wanted.
C
I
appreciate
that
console,
but
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
say
that
there
are
a
whole
body
of
other
people
that
you
don't
even
know
their
names
of
the
administrative
staffs.
The
people
that
you
know
actually
push
the
paperwork.
We
have
seen
a
step
up
in
the
quality
of
personalities
and
I
HD
that,
in
my
private
life,
I
never
experienced
before
so
I.
Thank
you
for
bringing
that
up,
but
I
do
all.
G
C
Getting
closer
with
the
dry
ice,
there
has
been
a
case
in
California
where
one
company
was
given
exclusive
rights
to
promote
and
sell
dry
ice.
The
local
departments
here
said
to
us:
well,
you
can
pursue
that
same
Avenue.
That
was
not
what
the
plan
was.
The
plan
was
to
make
dry
ice
available
to
everybody.
The
chemical
composition
is
dry
ice.
It's
frozen
co2!
That's
all
it
is.
We
are
working
right
now.
Kim
Thai
from
my
department
has
been
working
very
closely
with
the
Department
of
Agriculture
we're
getting
much
closer.
C
G
C
There's
an
overlap.
A
lot
of
those
are
licensed
by
the
state.
Barber
shops,
beauty,
parlors,
massage
parlors,
with
as
far
as
the
pets.
So
if
they're
harboring
I
believe
it's
more
than
nine
nine
animals
overnight
their
kennel,
we
certify
the
kennels
as
we
go
forward.
So
when
we
investigate
these
places
that
are
certified
by
the
state,
we're
looking
at
it
primarily
from
a
building
in
health
point
of
view,
we're
not
looking
at
it
from
a
licensure
point
of
view.
Okay,.
C
Animal,
Care
and
Control
has
been
really
strong
advocates.
You
know
for
all
of
the
pets
in
our
city
and
they
do
they
do
a
tremendous
job
of
getting
out
there
again
a
lot
of
times
its
complaint
driven.
They
may
actually
be
a
grooming
center
that
we
don't
even
know
about
until
somebody
brings
it
to
our
attention,
but
yes,
I
think
that
that's
something
that
warrants
more
attention.
G
C
It's
unfortunate
and
I
would
never
target
one
industry.
We
see
a
number
of
people
that
choose
to
play
outside
the
rules
of
the
game
and
we
try
to
deal
with
them
as
effectively
as
they
can.
We
have
very
close
partnerships
with
the
police
department,
the
fire
department
and
public
health
to
you
know
team
a
lot
of
these,
so
that,
if
there's
a
regulation
that
we
can
enforce,
it
may
not
come
from
ISD,
even
though
we
may
be
the
lead
in
the
case.
Okay
and.
G
C
H
H
C
The
average
pert
permit
cost
is
$10
per
thousand
there's
a
filing
fee
is
an
occupancy
P
fee.
There's
a
microfilm
fee.
That's
on
the
positive
side
of
things
on
the
negative
side.
You
know
they're
after-hours
fees
that
come
into
play.
We
also
categorize
fire
escapes
and
building
facades
and
then
there's
the
whole
violation
piece
that
comes
into
play
and.
C
Wish
I
could
answer
that
with
one
sentence
it
depends
on
what
they're
doing
the
reality
is.
A
Nazarite
permit
still
is
averaging
about
twenty
seven
days,
which
is
tremendous:
a
board
of
appeals,
hearing
averages
around
75
days,
providing
their
own
glitches
and
that's
the
time
that
it
lives
at
ISD.
We
are
now
tracking
the
time
that,
if
more
informational
letter
is
issued
because
the
package
is
incomplete,
that
goes
back
to
the
applicant.
C
We
don't
track
that
time,
because
we've
had
projects
where
we've
asked
for
information
and
not
caught
it
back
for
six
months,
and
then
the
complaint
comes
out
to
us.
Well,
it's
taken
me
eight
months
to
get
a
project
through.
Well,
it's
only
been
at
ISD
for
six
weeks
and
we
were
able
to
process
it.
So
a
lot
of
that
is
just
the
analysts
that
the
data
as
it
sits
in
inside
is
Dave
and.
G
Then
I
don't
see
an
execution
of
courts
here
so
when
the
instructional
services
gets
sued,
which
you
do
regularly
like
members
of
the
council
gets
to
car
hits
a
pothole
we
sort
of
part
of
the
corporation.
So
when
they
sue,
they
sue
them
and
they
sue.
The
council,
then,
who
handles
the
litigation
portion?
Is
that
something
that
the
law
department
now
state.
C
C
G
G
Because
I've
noticed
that
it's
not
it's
not
in
here
and
so
that's
a
nutrient,
that's
a
new
change
that
you
guys
have
sent
sort
of
legal
legal
liabilities.
Execution
of
courts
took
it
out
of
ISD
and
sent
it
over
there.
Yes,
and
it
would
be
a
fairly
significant
number
I
think
in
years
past,
so
so
then,
and
as
I,
oh
you
know
you,
you
take
the
company
line
on
this
one,
but
I
think
I,
think
you're,
understaffed
and
I.
Think
that
would
love
to
see
more
people
just
because
of
the
volume.
Sixty-Eight
million.
G
C
We
compare
ourselves
to
other
cities
across
the
country
and
we
were
actually
doing
pretty
good
or
on
average
you
know
they.
We
have
been
doing
a
lot
of
research
about
the
business
plan
at
ISD
and
how
things
happen,
and
out
of
that
has
come
a
lot
of
reform
to
our
processes
and
for
right
now.
That's
really
where
my
focus
is
is
to
have
our
seniors
to
have
team
to
reanalyze
just
about
every
process
that
exists
at
ISD
and
there
are
all
lot
and
we're
revamping
them.
Thank.
A
A
I
You
and
thank
you
for
your
work.
You
took
a
whole
line
of
questioning
about
the
North,
End
rats
and
dry
house
dry
out
some
way
so
I
appreciate
that
and
we
did
meet
in
to
talk
the
Commissioner
and
I
and
your
commitment
to
not
only
making
sure
that
this
becomes
a
citywide
program,
but
also
being
willing
to
come
out
to
the
North
End
and
help
him
work
with
residents
if
they
so
choose
to
have
a
private
means
of
going
about.
This
I
wanted
to
commend
you
on
that,
and
thank
you
again.
I
J
I
So
I
just
wanted
to
go
through
some
questions,
some
specifically
about
my
district,
but
also
in
general,
just
to
help
me
get
a
little
bit
more
educated
about
where
you
guys
are
working.
My
council
and
my
colleague,
councillor
Wu,
had
talked
about
your
and
your
inspection
of
restaurants
and
I
wanted
to
know
within
that
umbrella.
Does
that
include
pop-up
restaurants?
Does
that
include
food
trucks,
and
how
are
you
adjusting
to
that
kind
of
new
economy?
It.
C
Includes
any
place
that
food
is
consumed
or
processed
on
site,
so
the
food
trucks
there.
There
was
a
program
at
ISD
that
we're
partnered
with
the
fire
department
to
make
sure
the
food
trucks
are
all
safe
and
certified
as
they
go
forward.
Pop-Up
restaurants,
which
is
a
relatively
new
event
in
our
city,
which
the
mayor
wholly
supports.
We
work
very
closely
with
them.
We've
done
things
like
you
know,
like
the
taste
of
Dorchester.
C
The
way
that
that
was
permitted
before
we
thought
was
absolutely
ridiculous,
because
every
vendor
had
to
come
in
and
apply
for
their
own
license.
So
you
know
again
through
really
good
business
practices.
We've
got
it
down,
so
there's
one
application
that
comes
forward,
although
all
the
vendors
have
to
be
listed
and
have
to
give
us
the
data
that
we
require,
but
the
financial
impact
of
it,
it
was
always
felt
that
that's
usually
for
some
sort
of
a
charity
or
event
that
the
money's
going
somewhere
more
positive.
C
I
And
I
think
that's
great,
a
balanced
approach
to
being
able
to
assure
safety,
but
not
not,
kill
economic
and
specifically
I
noticed
that
your
goal
that
the
department's
goal
this
year
for
fiscal
year
18
so
I
guess
last
year,
was
to
inspect
4800
units
out
of
the
10,000
that
are
registered.
How
are
you
or
did
you
achieve
that
goal?
Yeah.
C
I
C
What
we're
looking
at
is
we
looked
at
the
rental
registry
ordinance
in
and
of
itself
and
there's
some
edits
and
modifications
that
we
hope
we'll
be
bringing
to
the
council
this
year,
so
that
we
can
redefine
the
goal
for
that
understand
that
when
the
first
10,000
projected
number
was
put
into
place,
it
was
purely
an
estimate.
It
had
no
basis
in
reality
and
now
we've
had
three
to
four
years
of
really
doing
it
mm-hmm,
and
so
we
have
some
real
numbers
of
what
it's
going
to
take
in.
I
C
C
Their
triggers
so
that
if
you
spend
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
or
more
on
a
project,
you
have
to
have
a
path
of
accessibility,
mm-hmm
in
the
facility.
If
you
spend
more
than
I
believe
it's
33%
the
assessed
value
of
the
project,
you
have
to
bring
the
entire
project
up
to
accessibility
standards
so
that
there
are
gray
areas
in
the
middle
that
we
deal
with.
All
the
time
is.
I
C
I
C
Think
the
biggest
piece
of
that
is
more
about
education,
that
when
you're
going
to
do
something
you
have
to
have
an
eye
towards
accessibility,
and
sometimes
some
very
subtle
changes
in
your
plan
and
approach
make
a
huge
bit
of
difference
to
somebody
who
has
mobility
issues,
we're
only
too
happy
to
work
with
them
on
that.
But
we
have
no
no
ability
to
assist
financially.
We
can.
We
can
give
advice
and
education,
but
that's
about
it.
So.
I
Just
talking
a
little
talking
a
little
bit
about
East
Boston
with
our
growing
population,
I
think
in
2010.
We're
at
forty
thousand
I
think
we're
above
that
now
and
we're
gonna
continue
to
grow
with
Suffolk
Downs
and
all
of
these
different
areas
of
growth
and
development.
My
understanding
is,
we
have
one
inspector.
Would
we
be
getting
no
more
under.
I
C
I
C
But
this
is
for
the
inspectors
themselves
and
we
try
to
keep
that
information
flowing
back
and
forth
to
each
other.
The
biggest
thing
about
you
know,
accessible
design
is
their
design
alternatives
and
that
usually
ends
up
going
back
to
planning
and
zoning,
because
now
we're
starting
building
inspectors
are
literally
black
and
white.
It
meets
that
or
it
doesn't
mean
it
planning
and
zoning
is
a
little
more
understanding
in
trying
to
flee
out
paths
of
success,
as
opposed
to
just
saying
yes
or
no
and.
I
J
I
C
I
C
Sure
that
project
was
fully
permanent,
they
were
not
working,
they
had
put
a
bracing
system
inside
the
building
that
was
marginal
at
best.
That's
an
area,
that's
subject
to
a
lot
of
vibration
because
of
the
trains
in
the
area.
It's
it's
called
the
double
with
brick
bearing
wall
which
is
in
and
of
itself
and
has
no
lateral
stability
whatever,
and
what
happened
was
you
know?
C
It's
the
straw
that
broke
the
camel's
back,
one
small
section
of
the
brick
on
the
maverick
side
of
the
building
dislodged
for
whatever
reason,
I,
don't
know
why
it
dislodged,
but
that
brick
fell
down.
That
was
the
first
report.
We
got
Sunday
morning
around
11
o'clock.
When
we
get
out
there,
we
made
an
immediate
assessment
of
the
building,
and
you
know:
I
turned
that
the
building
was
unstable,
the
bracing
that
was
in
the
building
concerned
us
we
tried
to
work
with
the
owner
of
the
building.
C
In
my
usual
delicate
fashion,
I
told
them
they
had
an
hour
to
give
me
a
plan.
What
were
you
going
to
do?
That
was
not
successful
from
the
advocates
point
of
view.
So
then,
the
city
steps
in
and
took
over
control
of
the
demolition
of
that
building
I
saw
no
feasible
way
for
that
building
to
be
saved,
nor
was
it
worth
saving
and
in
its
original
state
prior
to
us
demolishing
it,
it
posed
a
real
danger
to
the
abutting
properties.
We
had
to
evacuate
an
apartment
building.
C
We
had
to
close
five
businesses,
not
to
mention
the
traffic
impacts
that
we
had
with
that
again
working
very
closely
with
the
fire
department.
We
brought
in
structural
engineers
to
do
a
very
quick
analysis.
We
made
a
prediction
of
what
was
going
to
happen
to
that
building.
I'll,
be
honest,
I
didn't
expect
it
to
happen
in
15
seconds,
I
thought
it
was
going
to
take
a
little
bit
longer
to
take
that
building
down,
but
it
went
as
absolutely
predicted
in
its
demolition.
It
was
down
within
an
hour.
I
C
C
The
fire
departments
NFPA
s
241
plan,
which
is
the
fire
protection
program
during
construction,
and
as
far
as
we
can
go
with
construction
methods,
we
do
not
get
involved
in
means
and
methods
of
construction,
but
overall
concept
of
buildings,
the
other
four
projects
were
able
to
be
back
online
within
three
days,
because
we
want
to
do
our
evaluation,
the
project
in
question.
Right
now
it
has
been
given
permits
to
clean
the
site
and
they
are
coming
back
in
with
a
new
project,
because
part
of
their
project
was
to
revitalize
one
of
the
buildings.
C
I
C
Well
ist
is
open,
because
then
it
goes
into
the
301
backup
when
we
close,
but
you
know
we
have
a
call
center
I
believe
made
up
of
six
people
that
take
immediate
responses.
Our
constituent
services
department
is
one
two
three
four
five
people
one
vacancy
in
there
in
that
department
now
because
Aisha
was
just
promoted
to
assistant
commissioner.
So
there's
a
new
director's
position,
that'll
be
coming
up.
It's
their
responsibility,
not
necessarily
to
solve
the
problem.
I
K
C
It's
a
delicate
balance
and
when
you
look
at
those
numbers
that
way
boy
does
it
look
disproportionate
in
that
iousy
should
be
living
in
the
world
of
lavender,
but
the
reality
of
it
is,
is
you
know
and
I
really
credit
the
budget
department,
particularly
the
mayor,
and
his
involvement
of
balancing
out
the
real
needs
of
the
city.
Our
part,
our
the
central
budget,
as
you
know,
supports
all
kinds
of
programs
that
are
across
the
city.
K
With
you,
because
I
just
not
you've
heard
it
already
different
people
talking
about
not
having
enough,
it
doesn't
seem
like,
like
you
guys,
are
staffed
enough
with
rental
rental
inspections.
Now
we're
talking
about
Airbnb,
which
is
a
whole
other
thing.
How
we
plan
on
how
we
plan
on
enforcing
that
I
think
is
I
mean
you
talk
about
I,
think
you
said
we're
gonna
enforce
through
the
data
and
we're
gonna
have
people
on
computers
enforcing
that's
I,
don't
I,
don't
see
that
happening.
K
C
And
last
year
we
actually
ended
up
with
revenue
at
the
end
of
our
fiscal
year,
because
the
the
team
that's
in
front
of
you
right
now
spends
every
dollar
the
most
efficiently,
as
we
can
and
as
I
say,
adding
bodies,
although
that's
the
common
thought
pattern
usually
doesn't
solve
the
problem,
because
that
those
parties
don't
have
a
direct
plan
or
I've
managed
efficiently.
I,
don't
know
what
we're
adding
to
the
mix
yes,
I
would
I
would
love
to
see
it
so
that
you
could
walk
in
and
walk
out
with.
The
permit.
C
I
would
love
to
see
that,
but
I
also
realized
that
the
the
nuances
of
very
complicated
things
like
zoning,
like
Building
Code,
they
prevent
these
things
from
being
instantaneous,
but
at
the
same
time
they
provide
life.
Safety
I
mean
I'm
very
proud
to
say
that
there's
not
been
a
fatality
due
to
a
building,
at
least
since
I've
been
commissioner,
and
so
that's
something
that
I
take
absolute
pride.
My
staffs
ability
to
really
analyze
the
situation
and
promote
the
state,
the
best
safe
environment,
that's
possible.
Okay,.
C
The
simplest
technology-
I
love
it.
It's
really
at
my
level,
you
know
you'd
find
a
rat
hole
and
packet.
You
fill
it
with
rice.
Dry
ice
kick
over
some
dirt
over
the
top
of
it.
As
the
it's
that's
you
know,
turning
to
a
gas
it'll
show
you
where
other
raffles
are
on
that
bar
Oh.
Repeat
the
same
process:
go
away
for
48
hours,
come
back
any
of
the
rat
holes
that
have
been
disturbed
because
you
kicked
dirt
over
because
the
dry
ice
itself
will
be
gone.
You
you
redo
the
process
and
I.
K
Good
point,
because
it
is
the
spring
those
calls
now.
Will
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
your
external,
your
external
funds,
where
they
go
like
it's?
Are
they
just
your
revolving
funds
for
animal
control
for
clothes,
you're,
fine,
wait,
wait,
wait,
weird
where's!
The
external
money
come
from
how
much?
How
much
do
you
use
and.
C
All
right,
the
animal
control
which
I
know
it's
a
separate
hearing,
but
basically
that's
the
money.
That's
used
to
pay
for
our
vet
for
our
medicines,
that's
generated
by
the
sale
of
licenses
as
we
go
forward.
That's
that's
a
number
that
we've
had
animal
care
now
for
three
years:
the
budget
that
we're
looking
at
it's
a
little
bit
different
than
what
the
budget
was
before
the
city's
plan
is
to
address
the
efficiencies
of
the
animal
shelter
itself.
C
The
city
has
appropriated
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
do
this
analysis
so
that
we
can
figure
out
what
the
right
place
for
animal
care
and
what
it
should
look
like.
So
that's
one
of
it
weights
and
measures
their
residual
funding
comes
from
fines
and
fees.
That's
all
put
in
toward
the
reinvestment
of
that
department.
They
have
some
very
specialized
tools,
as
you
can
imagine,
weights
and
volume
meters
and
uniforms
that
they
wear.
We
have
a
couple
of
trucks
that
are
used
for
every
scale.
C
C
C
Bit,
that's
a
really
good
thing.
Each
property
that's
goes
into
foreclosures
was
to
notify
ISD
I,
believe
it's
$100
a
month
fee
that
they
paid
for
us
to
maintain
that.
But
as
that
number
drops
that
indicates
to
us
that
there
was
less
foreclosures,
you
know
you
don't
have
to
be
a
rocket
scientist
to
know
the
value
of
what's
going
on
in
Boston
in
every
single
community.
K
Staying
on
what
you
remember,
88
Milton
Street,
which
we
finally
were
able
to
take
over
and
and
now
a
first-time
homebuyer,
is
in
there
we
coming
across
so
so
I'll
cut
right
to
the
chase.
I
have
a
building.
Now
where
man
was
in
there
for
his
whole
life,
no,
no
Aires,
he
was
a
hoarder
houses,
aren't
houses
on
him.
You
know
nice.
A
nice
street
he's
been
dead
for
two
years
now,
there's
raccoons
in
there
and
everything
else.
K
C
K
C
Then
it
goes
into
probate
yeah
that
takes
forever.
The
commitment
from
ISD
is.
First,
we
try
to
locate
the
responsible
party
in
some
cases.
It's
the
bank
that
holds
the
money,
sometimes
there's
a
trust.
That's
set
up
that
we
can
tap
into.
They
do
have
the
responsibility,
even
if
the
litigation
is
going
on
over
the
ownership
of
the
property
to
maintain
a
safe
environment.
That
I
maintain
the
yard
in
the
buildings
supposed
to
be
sealed.
So.
K
C
But
I
I
think
that
the
housing
court
judges
understand
the
importance
of
this
I
mean
they're
they're,
always
the
one
offs
that
cause
the
the
biggest
amount
of
public
awareness.
We
do
have
success
at
this.
The
bad
ones
are
bad
and
we
fight
and
put
a
lot
of
resources
into
that,
but
I.
It's
our
hope
that
people,
you
know,
are
responsible
some
of
the
worst
characters
we
had
were
actually
banks
that
were
outside
of
the
city
of
Boston
yeah.
C
They
have
no
need
and
they
can
throw
a
little
bit
of
a
legal
argument
against
us
and
it
fosters
the
process.
You
know
six
ten
months
at
time,
but
we've
got
a
commitment
and
we
do
it
through
our
board
up
program
that
received
more
funding
this
year
from
the
city
as
well,
so
that
if
we
get
a
landlord
that
is
totally
non-responsive
or
laid
up
in
court,
we
will
go
out
and
board
our
properties
clean
it
and
lean.
It
is
another
program
that
we
use.
C
Where
we'll
do
all
this
will
clean,
you
Gert
will
cut
the
grass.
You
know,
fix
the
doors,
hold
the
car
off
the
lot,
but
then
we
put
a
lien
against
the
property.
It's
not
you
know
the
best
financial
commitment
of
money,
but
I
think
it's
absolutely
imperative
that
we
do
it
for
Nabel
it's,
because
one
of
these
projects
can
absolutely
destroy
any.
B
On
composting
councillor,
we've
got
a
program
that
it's
called
project
Oscar.
It's
started
as
a
pilot
program
a
few
years
ago,
where
we
do
community
composting,
so
this
is
instead
of
going
from
each
and
every
house
in
the
city
of
Boston,
which
may
or
may
not
have
compost.
It
really
is
a
program
that
allows
the
folks
who
feel
passionately
about
this
to
take
any
of
their
leftover
materials
to
a
community
bin,
and
then
the
Public
Works
Department
will
come
and
collect
that
compost
and
process.
It
we've
had
the
opportunity
to
that
thinking.
B
K
I
was
in
New,
York
City
I
went
to
look
at
some
of
their
the
way,
they're
doing
things
similar,
so
they
do
a
they
do
a
commuter
drop-off
and
at
the
train
stations
you
bring
your
bag,
you
put
it
in
there's,
there's
there's
city
people
there
from
sanitation
and
then
it's
attached
to
foundations
that
are
doing
this
work
they
and
then
that
compost
goes
to
a
goes
to
a
community
garden
that
does
all
the
compost
in
themselves.
So
it
doesn't
go
to
a
third-party
vendor,
they
use
the
material
and
and
they
use
their
relationships.
K
They
leverage
relationships
to
to
to
do
to
do
all
that.
Work
and
and
I
think
it's
time
that
we
start
doing
something
for
real
I
know.
I
know,
councillor
Malley
agrees
with
me,
but
I
would
be.
I
would
be
hard
pressed
to
to
support
something
that
collected
compost
and
then
we
go
to
another
third-party
vendor
I.
Think
years
ago
we
like
we
stopped
doing
our
own
snow
plowing.
K
We
don't
do
our
own
collections
anymore,
New,
York,
City,
New,
York
City
does
all
their
own
trash
collection,
they
do
all
their
own
tipping
they're,
not
they
don't
they
don't
have
to
deal
with
with
with
contracts
and
I
think
it's.
We
have
an
opportunity
in
front
of
us
to
stop
the
discussion.
I
mean
you,
but
he
has
48
million
dollars
every
year.
You
know
that
goes
into
wherever
it
goes.
He
had
a
good
answer
for
it,
but
I'm
not
really
sure
where
it
goes.
K
B
Just
thank
you
for
your
advocacy
on
that
as
well
and
I,
thanks
for
going
to
New
York
and,
as
you
know,
council
we're
doing
a
zero-waste
plan
and
coordination
with
chief
Osgood
who's
over
the
Public
Works
and
transportation
department.
That's
a
study.
One
of
the
things
that
is
going
to
be
looking
at
where
you
are
looking
at
is
how
we
can
do
a
better
job
with
our
organics
and
composting,
whether
it
is
a
curbside
program
or
otherwise.
We've
got
the
folks
who
implemented
the
program
for
San
Francisco
working
on
that.
B
B
Across
the
board
so
including
organics
construction,
recycling
and
excited
cetera,
they
they
send
80%
of
their
waste,
gets
diverted
away
from
landfill
and
Boston.
If
we
hit
20%
we're
having
a
pretty
good
day,
so
we've
got
a
long
way
to
go
and
that's
why
Mayor
Walsh
tasked
us
to
do
this.
Zero
waste
planning
process
as
part
of
our
broader
initiatives
on
how
we
get
the
city
to
be
carbon
neutral.
As
that
plan
wraps
up
the
whole
idea
on
the
timing
of
it
is,
as
you
know,
our
falling
contracts
are
coming
up
to
being
due.
B
So
we
wanted
to
have
the
recommendations
coming
out
of
this
planning
process
ready
to
go
so
that
we
could
incorporate
them
as
we
go
out
to
the
market
and
figure
out
how
we
can
move
the
needle
on
some
of
our
waste
initiatives.
So
it
will
certainly
make
sure
to
keep
you
apprised
and
your
staff
a
prize
evolve,
though.
The
work
that
we're
doing
on
that
yeah.
K
And
I
mean
I,
think
I
know
I
said:
I
was
done,
but
could
be
a
minute
here.
You
know
and
again
we
get
back
to
streamlining
and
and
we
need
less
people
to
do.
This,
I
was
in
a
city
to
find
the
bottom
that
just
got
streamline
right
out
of
right
out
of
all
of
our
jobs
and
I.
Think
with
the
new
technology
and
I
can't
stress
this
enough,
we
should
be
on
the
front
end.
We
should
have
our
own
facility,
we,
you
know,
there's
people
doing
good
work,
Bruce
Fulford
out
there.
K
L
You,
mr.
chairman,
good
afternoon,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
add
my
voice:
Colleen
Kennedy,
Lisa
company,
Frank,
D'amato,
Brian,
Road
and
Keith
Barry.
Do
amazing
work
they're,
incredibly
responsible
grateful
for
them
among
the
others,
you
know.
Obviously,
there
are
other
areas
in
the
department
where
there's
room
for
improvement
and
I
want
begin
by
echoing
the
sentiments
made
by
several
colleagues,
which
you
don't
hear
at
many
budget
hearings
the
need
for
increased
staffing
because
of
the
sheer
number
of
the
size
of
the
portfolio
that
you
have
to
oversee.
I
appreciate
your
remarks,
commissioner.
L
As
you've
said
several
times
before,
it's
not
about
throwing
money
at
a
problem.
It's
about
managing
people
better
and
I.
Think
that
is
true
to
an
extent,
but
I
do
think.
There
is
a
number
of
initiatives
here
where
we
need
to
see
improvement,
not
the
least
of
which
are
so
many
of
these
new
things
that
you're
undertaking
and
that's
how
I'd
like
to
start.
My
line
of
questioning
chief
I
assume
the
plastic
bag
ordinance
will
come
under
ISD
in
terms
of
implementation,
so.
B
It's
a
collaboration
between
the
Environment
Department,
as
well
as
with
ISD,
so
once
that
ordinance
went
into
effect,
Commissioner,
Specter
and
Commissioner
Christopher
got
together.
The
enforcement
of
the
ordinance
is
going
to
be
led
out
of
ISD
the
the
policy
work
and
the
community
engagement
components
in
terms
of
working
with
our
vendors,
our
small
retail
shops.
That's
going
to
be
staffed
out
of
the
Environment
Department
and
the
mayor
recommended
some
funding
for
that
as
well.
Okay,.
L
So
can
you
do
either
you
or
buddy?
Can
you
just
sort
of
talk
about
where
we
are?
No,
we
had
one
councillor.
Wu
and
I
did
one
sort
of
working
session.
We
have
another
one
slated
for
a
couple
weeks
from
now.
Can
you
sort
of
talk
about
where
we
are
in
the
process
in
terms
of
learning
people,
both
businesses,
consumers
and
then
sort
of
the
inspection
pieces?
If
I'm.
B
B
There
were
going
to
be
in
the
Environment
Department
yeah,
but
then
they're
gonna
be
working
very
closely
with
the
staff
in
Commissioner
Christopher
shop
as
well,
where
we're
gonna
have
the
enforcement
start.
Commissioner
Christopher's
team
has
really
drafted
what
the
the
enforcement
mechanisms
will
look
like
for
em,
which
shops
will
start
with
based
on
their
square
footage
and
what
their
resources
are
and
that's
something
that
he
and
commissioner
Specter
going
back
and
forth
on
so
that
by
the
time
the
the
ordinance
takes
full
force
we'll
be
ready
to
go
with
that.
B
The
the
plan
is
to
have
this
resource
on
board
just
because,
obviously
yes,
as
we're
talking
about
we've,
got
the
inspectors
who
are
going
to
these
locations
and
they've
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do
already.
So
we'll
have
this
community
engagement
person,
that's
gonna,
be
really
starting
that
process,
particularly
with
the
shops
that
are
gonna,
be
under
under
the
ordinance
first
and
having
a
conversation.
Let
him
know
that
the
ordinance
is
going
to
be
in
place.
What
that
means
and
making
sure
that
we
do
that
in
a
fashion
so
that
they
can
go
through.
B
They
can
start
planning
their
orders
for
whatever
types
of
bags
that
they
will
be
planning
on
using,
if
that's
a
concern
that
they
have
or
a
challenge
that
they
have
getting
their
feedback
on
it
and
helping
them
from
that
policy
perspective.
In
the
meantime,
buddy's
team
will
continue
to
be
able
to
do
at
weights,
and
measures
will
be
able
to
continue
to
do
the
inspections
that
they're
doing
and
we'll
get
them
trained
up
on
how
to
do
the
enforcement,
and
once
that
comes
into
the
plate
and
they'll
start
that,
and
it
should
be
seamless.
So.
B
C
I
could
add
to
that,
to
what
I
was
talking
about
the
public
piece.
We're
not
involved
in
the
ordinance
is
written.
You
know
we're
in
the
final
stages
of
it.
We're
gonna
step
it
out
in
three
different
phases,
depending
upon
the
size
of
the
stores
weights
in
the
people
that
actually
visit
the
stores
on
a
regular
basis
will
be
actually
the
enforcers
part
of
our
constituent
services.
Team
will
be
bringing
this
information
out
to
the
neighborhood's
so
that
they
understand
that
this
is
going
into
place,
we're
obviously
starting
with
a
much
larger.
B
L
Yes,
okay.
Well
as
someone
who
wrote
the
ordinance
I
think
the
process
was
included
in
it
and
the
discretion
was
left
to
your
bosses
opportunity
to
decide
prioritization
of
the
size
for
the
record.
My
boss
is
the
mayor
fair
enough:
well,
the
mayor's
chief
of
energy
environment
who's
sitting
next
to
you,
and
it
says
specifically
that
he
or
she
whomever
holds
that
position
will
prioritize
reaching
out
to
stores.
Now
that's
fine
and
if
you
have
problems
with
the
ordinance,
there
was
a
whole
two-year
period
where
you
could
have
weighed
in
on
this.
L
So
I
am
a
little
bit
taken
aback
with
your
tone
towards
this
right
now.
I
think
that
what
I
am
finding
a
little
bit
disappointing
in
is
that
were
seven
months
out
from
this
going
into
effect
and
I
understand
the
position
not
being
filled
yet
because
of
budgetary
constraints,
but
I
would
urge
your
inspector
in
your
team
to
begin
this
conversation
now,
because
there's
a
lot
of
time.
There's
a
lot
of
questions.
I
am
fielding
questions
now.
It
is
my
understanding
that
we,
despite
my
request
for
a
web
page
to
be
put
up.
B
L
The
other
ordinance
that
this
that
I
am
very
proud
to
have
worked
on
with
my
colleagues
here
was
passing
the
puppy
mill
bill
in
Commissioner
Christopher
that
went
into
effect.
January
1st.
Have
you
had
any
inspections?
I
know,
there's
at
least
one
pet
store
in
the
chairman's
district
that
was
selling
cat.
Have
you
gone
in
there
make
sure
that
they
are
in
compliance
with
the
law.
They.
C
C
L
C
M
H
M
No,
it's
good
to
know,
I
think
just
it's.
Some
some
of
the
department's
will
just
refer
back
to
what
was
approved
to
instead
of
what
was
actually
spent
and
I
think
that's
it's
an
important
number
to
have
and
that's
the
projection.
That's
good
savings
are
always
good.
Thank
you
for
that.
What
is
in
three
one
one
and
the
calls
related
to
is
see.
What's
the
general
breakdown
and
the
the
types
of
calls
that
you
get
four
three
one,
one
Commissioner.
C
They're
they're
all
over
the
place,
obviously
on
weekends,
it's
about
working
without
permits
or
the
question
of
working
without
permits.
We
are
part
of
anything
that
happens
in
the
form
of
a
failure
or
a
dangerous
situation
to
a
building
during
the
week.
The
primary
thing
is,
is
my
permit
finished.
Yet
that's.
M
J
M
Are
delay
in
work
when
they
come
across
the
sharps?
Is
there
there
was
I?
Think
one
of
the
incidents
is
from
last
year.
Just
referring
to
my
notes
was
there
was
a
hoarding
situation
with
the
resident.
Then
there
was
an
ISDN
call.
Is
it
man
hours
that
representative
from
your
department
is
waiting
for
the
mobile
sharps,
independent.
C
No,
not
a
great
proportion
at
all
when
we
go
to
a
situation,
whether
we
know
it's
hoarding
that
we
will
notify
Public
Health
in
their
shops
team
that
we're
going
in
there.
If
we
run
into
a
situation
where
we
do
have
an
abundance
of
shops
to
be
removed,
we
will
work
around
that
situation.
There
are
many
other
things
that
we
can
be
doing.
While
that's
scheduled,
I
think
the
shops
recovery
team
has
done
a
fantastic
job
and
I
know
in
dealing
with
us.
They
are
very
responsible.
M
Of
our
departments
across
the
city
have
been
trained
in
proper
needle
disposal
and
handling
of
needles,
whether
it's
the
parks
department,
whether
it's
the
school
department,
especially
with
our
custodial
staff
but
teaching
staff,
has
been
trained
in
needle
protocol.
Is
that
something
that
is
worth
the
investment
at
ISD
to
train
your
employees
and
probably.
C
I
think
awareness
would
be
would
be
an
appropriate
thing
for
them.
For
us
to
start
dealing
with
the
shops
would
be
something
else
that
would
take
these
people
away
from
their
primary
primary
responsibilities
of
the
life
safety
issues
in
the
building,
but
any
form
of
education
I.
Think
it's
a
positive
thing
for
our
eyes.
Okay,.
M
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
we've
got
librarians
and
library
staff
that
are
disposing
of
needles.
We've
got
school
teachers
and
custodians,
removing
we've
got
Park
staff,
we're
moving,
we've
got
information
shared
with
parents
and
little
league
coaches
on
properties
needles.
So,
and
imagine
that
there's
a
point
that
is
D
and
your
employees
may
want
to
also
be
trained
properly
and
disposal
and
handling
of
sharps
on
Animal,
Care
and
Control.
How
many?
What's
the
percentage
of
the
budget?
That's
spent
on
that
on
that
department?
The.
H
H
H
M
C
N
N
N
M
About
18,
that's
great
I
think
that,
as
as
the
I
don't
even
know
how
to
phrase
this
right,
but
you
know
we
get.
We
get
calls
into
our
office
about
challenges
with
felishj
dogs
in
many
of
our
parks
and
it's
you
know
it's
some
dogs
that
are
well
behaved
and
some
I
suppose
it's
really
the
owner.
Some
of
the
owners
are
more
better
behaved
than
other
owners,
but
sort
of
balancing
that
relationship
between
dog
owners,
dogs
off
of
leash
and
in
some
of
our
parks,
where
it's
probably
not
most
appropriate
for
dogs
to
be.
M
If
there's
a
baseball
game
happening
or
a
soccer
game
happening,
the
call,
unfortunately,
could
go
in
about
an
off-leash
dog,
but
when
we're
not
necessarily
staffed,
you
know
four
hundred
percent
or
eight
hundred
percent
or
whatever
the
number
would
be
to
be
at
every
park
across
the
city.
It's
one
of
the
challenges
we
face
as
counselors
for
the
cause
that
we
get,
but
then
also,
as
you
know,
if
I'm
at
the
ball
field,
with
the
kids.
J
M
C
We've
done
is
we
prioritize.
The
animal
calls
that
come
in
and
off
leash
is
not
a
front.
It's
not
the
number
one
or
number
two
response
times.
A
dangerous
dog
situation
is
definitely
a
number
one.
If
so,
if
you're
at
a
ball
park
and
there's
a
dog
that
is
exhibiting,
you
know,
aggression
towards
you
know
children
or
other
dogs.
We
dispatch
to
that
immediately.
As
far
as
the
off
leash
goes,
what
we've
doing
we're
working
very
closely
with
the
parks
department
and
it's
really
about
an
educational
program
that
goes
in.
C
C
C
We
do
em
Street
Park
was
was
the
biggest
then
we
have
the
best
dog
park
right
across
the
street,
but
M
Street
was
was
by
far.
The
biggest
Rowan
and
park
was
another
one
that
had
a
lot
of
dog
calls.
So
we
do
when
the
offices
are
not
being
dispatched
on
a
call
and
they're
in
the
city.
We
have
them,
go
to
the
parks
and
literally
walk
around
so
that
we're
using
their
time
and.
M
M
C
What
the
planning
budget
the
budget
office
has
started
is
is
an
investment
into
that
planning
department,
they've
allocated
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
study
for
the
site,
location
development
of
the
project.
We
know
that
we
have
to
situate
two
sites
right
now
that
we're
looking
at,
but
it
was
felt
it
was
more
important
to
do
a
more
comprehensive
citywide
study
as
opposed
to
what
we
had
done
at
ISD
and
in
the
meantime,
property
management
is
maintaining
the
building
at
Mile,
Road
and.
C
M
Just
as
a
city,
we
have
a
lot
of
lease
leases
that
we're
spending
significant
amounts
of
money
on
property.
We
don't
own
as
a
city,
so
I
would
I
would
hope
that
there's
a
priority,
if
not
only
an
exclusive
search
of
property
that
we
own
as
a
city
or
if
there
was
a
partnership
with
a
state
agency,
perhaps
so
that
we
aren't
leasing
and
spending
resources
on
private
property.
That
is
it
for
me.
Charity
thank.
O
Thank
You
councillor
co-moh,
and
thank
you
guys
for
being
here
and
thank
you
for
your
hard
work.
I
echo
the
thank
yous
to
your
team
members.
Usually
our
first
line
of
contact
I'm
at
your
respective
departments,
and
we
were
amazing
and
I,
have
to
add
I,
know.
Colleen
we
work
with
quite
a
bit,
but
Amanda
as
well
is
very
responsive
and
gets
a
lot
of
things
done.
So
thank
you.
I
most
of
my
questions
have
been
asked
and
answered.
I
have
more
questions
related
to
the
the
as
a
right
hearing
that
we
held
and
Commissioner.
O
Thank
you
again
for
being
there.
The
goal
is
to
take
some
of
the
ideas
we
heard
and
at
that
hearing
and
also
emails.
I've
also
received
from
folks
since
that
hearing
to
compile
what
people
are
talking
about,
that
may
be
short
term
and
long
term
solutions
as
to
improve
communities,
sort
of
community
process
or
expand
community
process.
O
I
know
we
also
talked
about
zoning
and
changing
zoning
in
the
complications
and
and
the
heavy
lift
that
that
is
particularly
having
to
interface
with
the
Statehouse,
but
at
some
point,
I'm
looking
forward
to
having
a
working
session
and
having
you
back
to
talk
through
some
of
these
ideas.
Given
your
expertise
and
those
of
your
team
I'd
be
curious.
O
Just
on
some
of
the
things
that
we
did
talk
about
simply
just
around
notification,
whether
it's
emails
going
out,
whether
it's
notifying
not
just
owners
of
record
but
tenants
in
the
buildings
who
frankly
live
there
and
the
owner
may
live
outside
of
Boston
I'm.
Assuming
that's
going
to
require
some
level
of
resource
or
maybe
I.
C
Don't
know
I've
had
discussions
with
OH&S
about
the
best
way
to
develop
this
first
pass
on.
It
is
to
develop
a
web-based
piece
of
information
so
that
everyone
could
have
access
to
it.
As
I
discussed
that
night
at
the
Great
Hall
that
we
don't
keep
records
of
residents,
we
keep
records
of
owners
so
that
piece
I
know
the
community
felt
it
was
critically
important
because
we
have
more
residents
than
we
do
owners.
O
J
O
H
C
Different
we're
exploring
as
many
possibilities
as
we
can
for
a
public
notification.
The
web,
although
is,
is
one
very
effective
tool.
It
is
not
all
encompassing,
so
there
are
other
methods
that
are
being
used
by
other
departments
throughout
the
country
that
we're
looking
into
now
each
carries.
You
know
a
financial
burden
that
we've
got
to
address.
Somehow,
how
do
we
pay
for
these
things
to
be
done,
so
we're
hoping
to
have
some
more
stuff,
so
a
working
session
will
be
that
the
best
you
know
venue
for
us
to
be
able
to
explain
and
discuss
this.
C
O
I
think
that's
great
and
web-based
I
know
the
Civic's
would
love
that,
because
folks
are
saying
I
used
to
get
this
and
now
I
don't,
but
if
there's
a
system
where
they
can
sort
of
go
into
as
well
as
in
situations
that
that'll
be
great
I,
don't
have
any
more
questions.
After
that,
I
look
forward
to
continuing
the
conversation
during
the
working
session.
O
I
will
say:
I'm
an
energy
person
scope
that
little
tit
for
tat
or
whatever
that
was
frankly,
was
really
uncomfortable,
but
I
will
say
we're
not
always
gonna
agree
on
all
the
issues
or
the
processes,
but
we're
all
on
this
together.
I
mean
I,
think
we
each
represent
different
districts
or
the
city
as
a
whole,
and
so
how
do
we
work
together
to
move
things
forward?
How
do
we
stay
in
communication
as
we're
doing
this?
We
of
course
acknowledge
the
hard
work
that
you
guys
have,
and
vice
versa.
O
The
hard
work
and
I
got
an
email
today
from
a
guy
who
just
kept
going
on
and
on
and
being
frankly
crazy.
So
it's
not
easy
work,
but
you
know
they
think
the
council
in
each
of
us
is
in
partnership
with
you
guys
and
if
it
doesn't
feel
that
way,
then
let's
continue
the
conversation
to
change
that.
But,
commissioner,
thank
you
for
the
hard
work.
O
J
A
D
Thank
You
council
assume
oh
I,
had
a
question
for
chief
Blackman.
Can
you
describe
a
little
about
the
relationship
between
the
water
and
soil
Commission
in
your
office
as
it
relates
to
Fort
Point
in
the
the
flooding
that's
taking
place
down
there?
What
steps
are
you
taking?
What
does
some
of
the
public
outreach
that
you're
doing
I
know
that
you
are
working
working
hard
down
there,
but
if
you
can
give
us
a
little
background,
information
that'd
be
helpful.
Yeah.
B
Sure,
absolutely
so
the
Boston
waters
and
Sewer
Commission
is
one
of
our
major
partners
on
the
effort
that
we're
doing
across
the
entire
city
called
climate
ready
Boston,
but
in
particular,
as
it
relates
to
the
four
point
channel
and
South
Boston
as
well.
This
is
an
effort
where
we're
not
only
trying
to
understand
where
we
are
vulnerable
to
impact
the
sea
level
rise,
but
then
also
in
from
a
climate
preparedness
perspective
as
well.
B
So
looking
at
that
from
our
storm
water
infrastructure,
where
we
work
very
closely
with
the
Massachusetts
Water
Resources
Authority,
as
well
as
the
Boston
Water
and
Sewer
Commission,
and
in
the
four
point
Channel,
as
well
as
some
of
the
work
that
we've
done
in
Charlestown
and
East
Boston.
We're
now
at
the
point
where
we're
trying
to
understand
what
are
the
conceptual
projects
that
we
can
do?
That
would
be
that
would
in
getting
those
to
a
place
where
they're
shovel-ready
so
that
we
can
actually
move
forward
and
implement
them.
B
So
we've
announced
some
projects
in
East
Boston
in
Charlestown
already
so
protecting
the
East
Boston
Greenway
with
a
temporary
flood
wall
and
also
elevating
Main
Street
in
the
solvent
square
area.
But
as
it
relates
to
the
for
point
channel
and
the
the
work
that
we're
doing
there,
one
of
the
challenges
is:
we've
got
quite
a
few
private
sewers
that
have
been
unmarked,
and
so
the
Boston
Water
and
Sewer
Authority
is
continuing
to
evaluate
some
of
those
areas,
because,
if
they're
not
properly
equipped,
they
can
actually
be
flood
entry
pathways.
B
If
the
tide
comes
high
enough,
even
if
you
have
a
flood
wall
or
additional
protection,
if
the
the
weight
of
the
water
can
push
through
and
through
those
channels,
then
you
can
actually
get
back
back
channels
into
the
street,
and
so
that's
a
major
component
of
the
worth
as
a
Boston,
Water
and
Sewer
Commission
is
doing
we
work
very
closely
as
well
with
the
parks
department.
As
you're
well
aware,
we
have
Martin's
Park
on
the
four
point
channel
we're
making
an
investment
there
to
make
that
part
more
climate
resilient
as
well.
B
And,
of
course,
we
work
closely
with
the
Boston
Planning
and
Development
Agency
as
they
review
projects
and
as
they
have
conversations
with
some
of
our
property
owners
in
the
city
of
Boston.
They
use
the
analysis
and
the
projections
that
we
have
in
terms
of
the
elevations
in
the
Fort
Point
channel,
South,
Boston
and
elsewhere
to
help
the
developers
understand
what
they
need
to
do
with
their
site
and
with
their
buildings
in
order
to
make
them
climate
prepared,
as
far
into
the
future
as
possible.
D
Many
concerns
about
the
rat
problem,
especially
in
especially
in
Chinatown
in
in
the
Bay
Village,
as
well
developers
in
contractors.
Doing
enough
to
you
know,
set
traps.
Are
they
effectively
setting
the
traps,
making
it
easier
to
catch
these
rats,
or
do
we
need
to
be
working
closely
a
closer
with
them
to
give
them
more
instruction
on
how
to
do
this?
On.
C
The
construction
site
they
are
required
to
do
an
inspection,
pre-development
maintain
catching
during
the
project
and
then
there's
a
post
development
point
of
view.
The
thing
we
found
that
worked,
the
best
in
Chinatown
was
the
first
place.
We've
done
it
two
years
ago,
where
we
did
a
block
by
block
program
where
we,
you
know,
went
out
and
explained
how
to
manage
some
of
the
trash
working
with
Public
Works.
We
actually
changed
some
of
the
collection
processes
in
Chinatown
and
to
me
that's
the
biggest
thing
so
I
think
contractors
are
doing
their
job.
C
D
Was
one
Street
that
was
that
over
the
weekend,
it's
it's
a
private
street,
it's
Oxford
place
in
Chinatown
and
I
was
walking
by
there
on
Saturdays
a
lot
of
lot
of
rats
running
around.
But
since
it's
a
private
street,
is
this
still
a
responsibility
for
the
city
of
Boston
to
do
any
setting
of
traps
in
that
area?
We're.
C
Responsible
for
all
public
ways,
so
we
do
that
and
we
do
go
further
into
that
in
cases
where
there's
a
dispute
of
ownership
or
problems
of
an
absentee
landlord.
So
we
are
on
top
of
that,
but
it's
usually,
if
you're
seeing
rats
they're,
usually
not
rats
just
by
themselves.
There's
usually
you
know
a
trash
situation,
that's
associated
with
it
and
that's
the
thing
that
we
can
be
the
most
proactive
with
is
to
is
to
kill
that
source
Thank.
D
C
And
we
also
all
have
our
teams
come
out
to
any
group
that
wants
to
sit
and
talk
about
it
as
an
educational
piece.
It
doesn't
have
to
be,
like
you
know,
an
organized
Business,
Association
or
anything,
but
a
group
a
neighbors
want
to
get
together
or
business
owners
we're
more
than
happy
to
come
out
and
explain
it.
Yeah.
D
F
G
C
G
C
Of
that,
because
we're
seeing
multiple
sandwich
boards
based
on
the
number
of
occupants
in
the
building
and
that
I
know,
was
one
of
the
biggest
complaints.
The
concern
for
us
was
one
one
billboard
or
one
sandwich
board
for
a
building
would
result
in
a
cottage
industry
that
that
would
become
revenue
generating
space
for
advertising,
whereas,
if
everybody's
responsible
for
their
own,
we
would
hope
to
defeat
that
before
it
happened.
G
C
Haven't
seen
that
really
start
generating
itself,
we've
limited
the
size
of
the
billboard,
the
height
of
the
billboard,
sandwich
border
because
density,
that's
a
bad
mistake
and
we're
not
seeing
the
problem
being
reported
to
us.
We
will
double
check
with
code
enforcement.
My
last
discussion
with
them
was,
as
I
say,
very,
very,
very
minimal
and
fractious
mischief.
G
It's
been
in
constant
C,
almost
district
with
the
student
move-in
and
you
and
I
had
this
conversation
is
that
as
our
neighborhoods
of
becoming
more
gentrified
and
we're
getting
the
younger
population,
we're
probably
many
of
the
other
neighborhoods
getting
a
lot
of
the
graduate
students,
but
it
seems
as
though
it
for
the
longest
time
it
was
Austin
Brighton
for
the
most
part,
really,
your
Mission
Hill
Fenway
area
really
took
the
brunt
of
it.
Sort
of
at
that
September.
First
move
in
we're
now
sort
of
starting
to
see
that
sort
of
spread
in
other
pockets
of.
L
G
Boston
East
Boston
Charlestown,
the
downtown
sorry
huge
influx
as
again
as
our
College
universities
are
growing,
but
also
as
more
jobs
are
coming
here.
Folks
that
used
to
get
the
diploma
and
head
back
to
where
they
came
from
now
staying
in
Boston
and
they're
living
in
many
other
different
neighborhoods
outside
of
the
traditional
sort
of
where
there's
a
heavy
student
population.
So
but
you
you,
the.
C
Student
accountability
report
is
showing
to
us
that
there
is,
you
know
a
migration
across
the
city
in
you
know
the
past
three
years
we've
taken,
you
know
great
success
and
great
pride
in
the
work
that
we've
done
interdepartmental
ii
across
across
the
board.
We've
seen
less
of
an
impact
in
you
know
the
3-prime
neighborhoods
that
we've
always
seen
as
the
impact,
but
we
do
monitor
it
across
the
city
and
even
that
weekend
we
do
put
teams
out
in
all
of
the
other
areas
and.
G
C
A
And
let
me
just
follow
up
to
say
that
I've
seen
a
tremendous
improvement
and-
and
it
I
think
it's
a
lot
and
due
to
the
the
things
we
do
in
advance
of
the
first
of
the
year,
having
your
inspectors
out
there
in
full
force,
doing
the
education
piece
and
I
want
to
applaud
you.
It's
been
very
smooth
the
past
several
years
and
great
working
with
you
on
that
Council
Baker.
Thank.
K
H
K
H
K
K
H
K
C
A
lot
of
discussion
about
it
right
now
there
are
a
number
of
people
that
are
very
interested
in
that
lot
going
forward,
but
the
mayor
is
set
up.
You
know
a
committee
to
look
at
the
under
use
of
city-owned
properties
and
our
buildings.
So
that's
one
of
the
lots
that's
being
considered
in
that
program
as
what
would
be
a
better
use
and
development
of
that
that.
B
Have
to
get
back
to
you
and
the
exact
folks
know
that
it's
a
Tenten
has
kind
of
come
under
quite
a
few
different
evaluations,
including
one
for
the
renew
Boston
trust,
and
it's
also
part
of
as
commissioner
Christopher
was
mentioning.
It's
part
of
this
housing
initiative
to
see
if
there
is
city-owned
land
that
could
be
redeveloped,
as
there
are
some
of
our
other
parcels
throughout
the
city.
But
it's
one
of
the
largest
opportunities
that
we
have
both
in
terms
of
its
location
and
its
energy
used
to
make
improvements
either
for
housing
or
in
terms
of.
B
C
C
K
K
Again
back
to
the
services
I,
don't
know
why
we're
I,
don't
know
why
we
have
outside
companies
in
your
building
doing
doing
taking
care
of
that
again.
We
we
should
be
looking
at
how
we
create
jobs
and-
and-
and
you
know
those
those
could
be
jobs
that
we
could
give
to
people
in
the
city,
but
that's
a
broken
record
now.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
you
time
today,
George.
A
C
It's
the
target.
You
know
that
we're
looking
at
we
I
I
think
our
guesstimate
serve
as
high
as
two
hundred
and
thirty-four
thousand
in
a
big
portion
of
those
are
public
housing
and
things
there
right
that
yeah.
So
the
number
is
growing.
We
the
last
two
years
we
had
big
jumps,
but
now
we're
creating
a
real
database
as
we
move
forward
and.
C
A
C
I,
don't
have
the
exact
numbers,
but
I'll
get
them
for
you
counselor,
but
we
see
a
big
increase
in
people
applying
for
them.
The
application
process
is
a
little
more
rigorous
than
the
standard
inspection,
and
you
have
to
have
a
very
clean
history
on
your
property
to.
You
know
be
part
of
that,
but
the
larger
developments
are
seeing.
That's
a
real
benefit
to
them.
It's
a
real
benefit
to
us
as
well.
So
what
we're
seeing
that
steadily
grow
great.
K
Just
one
more
question,
but
with
with
everything
going
on
over
UMass
and
and
and
us
trying
to
advocate
in
the
neighborhood
to
have
UMass
come
in
front
of
us
for,
for
you
know,
for
planning
or
zoning
whatever
that
Peninsula
is
going
to
look
like.
Do
you
guys
have
any
role
in
any
of
that
building
over
there?
That
estate.
C
K
So
if
that
goes,
if
that
goes
public,
private
and
there's
there's
institutional
use
and
also
housing
and
and
whatever
else
happens
over
there,
they'll
inspect
all
that
we
won't,
even
if
it's
even
if
it's
a
private
developer,
developer
building,
you
know
housing,
we
won't.
We
won't
even
get
a
look
at
that.
Well,.
A
Great,
thank
you.
I've
just
had
my
voice
to
the
chorus
and
people
looking
at
your
budget
has
been
very
flat.
Your
personnel
lines
probably
only
gone
up
to
satisfy
some
contracts,
union
contracts
and
I.
Don't
know
how
you
doing
it,
but
you
know
I,
think
you
have
a
lot
of
support
here
to
look
at
you
know
more
employees
and
I.
We
had
a
conversation
earlier
difficult,
recruiting
them
right
now,
but
anything
we
can
do
to
help.
You
know
ice-t
impacts
the
quality
of
life
for
the.
A

Both
broadcast

CN

to

and
Verizon

streamed
at
Boston

backslash
city
Council,

I'd
asked
folks
in
the
chamber
to
silence
their
electronic
devices
the
conclusion
of
the
the
presentation,
questions
and
answers.
We
will
take
public
testimony.
You
need

Please
state

if
you

also
in

C
C
A
K
K
Oh
so
so,
they're
green
with
all
your
ft,
ease
and
and
in
I
know,
what's
revolving
fun
but
buddy.
What
if
whatever
happened
with
them,
we're
back
to
buildings
are
not
investing
in
buildings
and
I
mean
we
had
the
rules
at
the
caucus
freezer
last
summer.
Are
they?
Are
we
investing
in
that
building
there
or
we're.
C
Gonna
maintain
that
building
for
right
now.
Well,
you
know
a
comprehensive
study
is
done
to
determine
the
best
location
for
a
new
shelter,
whether
it's
keeping
it
at
Mile,
Road
and
reinvesting
in
that
or
if
there's
another
like
location
that
would
be
better
suited
for,
but
the
property
management
is
investing
in.
Maintaining
that
building
right
now
may.
