The
council's
budget
review
process
this
year
is
comprised
of
a
set
of
hearings
and
working
sessions.
These
working
sessions
are
a
chance
for
councillors
to
generate
comments
for
the
upcoming
and
questions
for
the
upcoming
hearings,
and
so
as
such,
we
don't
take
public
testimony
at
the
working
sessions,
but
you
can
testify
in
the
budget
process
in
one
of
a
number
of
ways.
So
when
we
have
hearings
which
are
frequent,
there
will
be
many
more
coming
in
the
coming
weeks.
B
You
can
go
to
the
public
notice
online
and
join
via
the
Zoom
link
and
then
at
the
end
of
the
hearing,
give
a
comment
in
person:
/
zoom.
If
you
don't
want
to
wait
and
use
that
method,
you
can
send
us.
You
go
to
Boston
duhkha
/,
Council,
FY,
21
budget.
You
can
read
all
about
our
process
and
the
testimony
and
procedures,
and
you
can
submit
a
two-minute
video
of
yourself
testifying.
So
you
can
also
email
written
comments
to
CC
CWM
at
Boston
gov.
B
We
will
take
comments
in
spoken
or
written
in
any
language
that
you
speak
and
committee.
Ana's
translated
for
the
whole
council
and
we'll
also
have
at
the
end
of
the
departmental
hearings,
will
be
having
two
dedicated
public
testimony
hearings,
one
on
May
26th
at
6
p.m.
to
testify
about
the
bps
budget
and
1
on
May
28th
at
6
p.m.
to
testify
about
the
rest
of
the
city
budget.
B
So
our
focus
today
will
be
the
set
of
of
departmental
hearings.
We
have
upcoming
so
because
of
the
ongoing
COBIT
19
emergency
we've
combined
some
hearings,
so
the
Department
of
Public
Works
and
the
Boston
Transportation
Department
will
be
coming
in
together
before
the
council
I'm.
So
we're
going
to
talk
about
those
today,
the
Boston
Public
Library
and
the
Boston
Center
for
you
can
families
be
cyf
and
and
ye
the
youth
engagement
and
employment
office
as
well,
so
we're
gonna,
so
we're
gonna
be
taking
all
those
offices
today.
B
My
proposal
I
also
want
to
welcome
counselors
at
Flynn,
Liberty,
Edwards
and
Matt
O'malley
and
6
respectively,
who
have
just
joined
us
as
well
few
friends
and
all
right
great.
So
there's
a
lot
of
departments
today
and
I
should
know
that,
especially
for
transportation
and
public
works.
We
have
forwarded
over
a
whole
bunch
of
questions
that
were
generated
in
the
capital
budget
working
session.
B
We're
gonna
go
with
that.
Alright,
so
and
I'll
put
it
in
the
comments,
but
I
mean
I'll,
be
recognizing
people
I'm
in
order
of
arrival
so
but
I
know
council,
it
was
breeding
us
to
step
out
for
a
second,
so
I'll
read
the
order
which
is
gonna,
be
councillor:
clarity,
councillor
Breeden
and
councillor
Baker
councillor
Janey,
councillor
savvy
George,
councillor
Arroyo,
councillor
Flynn,
councillor,
Edwards,
count
LaRue
councillor,
I'm,
Ally
and
we've
also
been
joined
by
councillor
Julia,
Mejia,
at-large,
so
excellent,
great,
all
right.
So
councillor
Flaherty.
B
A
Know
just
just
a
general
overall
update
on
the
street
and
the
conditions
of
the
street
important
I
think
that
the
city
and
the
taking
up
on
it,
particularly
as
it
pertains
to
crosswalks
that
are
not
clearly
visible
our
hotspots
and
just
make
sure
that
we're
on
track
with
safe
streets
and
doing
our
right
to
make
our
roads
say.
Four
souls
it's
in
line
with
that.
A
B
D
D
It
is
stage
of
presenting
recommendations
and
I'm
very
concerned
that
we
make
sure
that
those
recommendations
are
acted
upon
and
that
there's
many
sort
of
low-hanging
fruit
items
like
improvements
to
crosswalks
traffic,
calming
pedestrian
safety
measures
that
come
under
the
purview
of
streets
and
I
hope
that
we
can
work
with
the
folks
from
the
BPD
a
and
streets
to
implement
some
of
those
recommendations
in
the
short
term
so
that
we
can
get
started
on
on
on
showing
some
fruit
from
that
very
long
public
process.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Great.
C
You,
madam
chair
I,
just
be
looking
for
for
updates
on
slow
Street
initiatives
in
particularly
in
District,
three
updates
on
Long
Island,
and
you
know
in
a
parochial
sense.
I
have
quite
a
few
requests
in
for
sidewalks
and
speed
bumps
and
those
sorts
of
things,
and
also
I,
wouldn't
mind
hearing
from
Public
Works
on
where
they
are
with
with
their
planning
or
thought
around
organics
in
in
in
composting.
C
B
E
You
so
much
madam
chair
in
terms
of
so
I'm
gonna
just
try
to
get
all
of
my
questions
out.
I
know
you
have
the
different
rounds,
but
if
I
can
get
them
all
out
and
I,
don't
have
to
be
here
for
the
second
round
now
for
the
public
works.
A
lot
of
that
was
already
talked
about
that
during
the
capital.
So
I
won't
repeat
that
stuff.
B
F
F
So
I'm
curious
how
many
ways
crosswalks
we
have
in
the
city
and
how
those
areas
were
selected.
I
know
some
of
it's
through
safe
streets
at
the
with
the
humps,
but
I
am
but
you
can
really
curious
about
race.
Crosswalk,
an
update,
love
an
update
on
the
northern
Avenue
Bridge,
where
we
are
at
the
design
plans,
the
bridge
and
and
I
think
that
this
came
up
in
the
overview
or
and
capital.
F
Perhaps
so
we
could
just
have
a
deeper
dive
into
the
northern
Avenue
bridge
curious
about
project
Oscar
around
composting
I
think
somebody
else
has
brought
that
up
in
previous
meeting.
So
we
could
have
information
on
that
on
the
success.
How
much
has
been
collected
and
where
the
additional
sites
are
going,
then
I
think
I.
Think
a
number
of
colleagues
have
brought
up
the
pedestrian
ramps
across
the
city
and
making
sure
that
they
are
ad8
compliant,
we're
sort
of
where
we
are
in
that
again.
F
I
think
that
came
up
in
one
of
the
overview
hearings
so
hopeful
to
get
deeper
into
the
to
the
weeds.
On
that
and
I'm
sure
one
of
my
colleagues
will
ask
about
electric
vehicles:
that's
important
to
have
to
make
sure
that
our
fleet
is
more
and
more
electric,
if
not,
you
know,
and
how
we're
moving
towards,
hopefully
a
fully
electric
municipal
fleet.
So
that's
it
for
my
questions
on
public
works,
I'll
save
the
rest
for
for
the
next
round,
so
I
think
I've
taken
a
little
bit
of
time.
I
do
have!
F
Oh
did
you
say:
fab
the
transportation,
quickly.I
safe
routes
to
school,
big
proponent,
of
making
sure
that
we
have
safer
to
school.
F
B
G
And
Public
Works
Department
is
all
right
yep,
so
the
first
one
is
to
the
Public
Works
Department.
What
clan's
is
the
Public
Works
Department
has
to
try
and
increase
contract
diversity.
At
the
moment,
837
contracts
are
with
minority-owned
aluminum
businesses.
What
are
the
insulin
creeps
out
reach
to
get
a
more
diverse,
full
potential
respondents,
especially
since
a
lot
of
those
contracts
expire,
June,
30th
of
this
year
and
for
fiscal
year
twenty?
This
is
for.
H
B
G
Works
and
the
Boston
Transportation
Department,
the
Public
Works,
still
has
about
15
million
plus
available
in
the
budget,
and
BTD
still
has
about
nine.
So
what
the
plans
are
for
that
gets
back
toward
into
the
following
budget.
What
would
happen
if
there
was
a
little
beryllium
different
uses
for
that
for
the
Boston
Transportation
Department
specifically?
Is
there
any
new
funding
for
traffic
calming
Mendes
in
general,
speed
bump
streetlights,
which
is
probably
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
I
hear
about
in
district
5?
G
The
other
ones
are.
How
are
you
the
community
during
this
time
and
call
it
for
those
kinds
of
construction
projects?
Any
plans
for
investment,
I
think
they're
going
to
do
highway
with
us
to
find
safety
improvements,
but
also
are
there
any
plans,
district,
other
areas
for
bike
lanes
and
safety?
Everything
comes
American,
Legion
is
actually
one
of
the
hotspots.
We
didn't
mention
those
all
the
time.
Any
plans
for
investment
at
I,
Park
Avenue
on
the
design
study
that
was
funded
by
the
USDA.
G
Will
they
be
recruiting
engineers
during
this
period
and
what's
the
budget
for
that
see
with
similarly
to
BTB
to
the
public
works
similar
to
them?
Btv
only
has
5
of
34
contracts
with
minority-owned
women
among
small
local
businesses.
How
are
they
planning
representation?
G
What
vision
zero
items
are
allocated
to
these
five?
What
what
are
they
doing
to
make
sure
that
they're
at
Google
throughout
districts,
if
you
can
get
a
rundown
for
how
they're
impacting
all
of
the
districts
and
do
they
have
any
data
available
on
the
place
on
the
blueblack
stations
and
their
use?
And
what
they're
doing
with
that
data?
And
that's
that's,
oh
and
technically
before
they
would
read
the
trees,
the
arborist
things
like
that?
I
You
council
Bach
I
just
want
to
highlight
the
conditions
of
the
sidewalks
throughout
my
my
district.
They
need
significant
work,
especially
in
the
south
end
rovol
of
victoria.
The
sidewalks
are
in
are
in
rough
shape,
I'd
like
to
get
a
update
on
on
what
we're
doing
in
terms
of
a
sidewalk
in
making
sure
that
their
ad
a
compliant
the
sidewalks
throughout
throughout
the
district,
in
making
sure
that
the
crosswalks
align
with
the
ramps
or
ad8
compliance.
I
I
Slow
going
down,
the
traffic
is
also
critical
and
we
so
I'd
like
to
get
an
update
on
humps
in
in
my
district,
the
the
street
traffic,
the
street
lighting
as
well,
making
sure
it's
working
properly
and
I
just
I
just
think
we're
also
I'm
working
with
council
a
baker,
but
we're
gonna
have
to
have
a
serious
conversation
eventually
on
the
e
limits.
That's
happening
in
in
our
city.
I
What's
what's
working,
what's
not
working
but
we're
just
seeing
so
many
cars
speeding
throughout
our
hours
made
were
even
during
this
time
when
there's
no,
no
traffic
people
are
going
50
miles
an
hour
through
streets
of
Boston,
unacceptable,
still,
vision,
zero
transportation,
bike
paths
along
Summer
Street
is
an
issue
that
I've
been
focused
on
as
well,
and
that's
that's
all
I
got
for
right
now.
That's
a
lot
great.
J
Arts
yeah
I'm
here.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
excellent,
so
I
just
wanted
to
highlight,
first
of
all,
a
bunch
of
thank
yous
for
the
hard
work
of
folks
in
Public
Works
and
an
BTD
just
want
to
list
off
some
folks,
an
apprentice,
Mike
summers,
ty
Jackson
Chris,
a
pole,
Luca
hecho,
jobless,
Oh,
NIC
mustachio
for
all
the
work
that
they've
done
and
throughout.
Even
though
somewhat
we
had
us
closed
winter.
This
year,
I
just
want
to
say
those
those
folks
have
been
the
people
we've
been
able
to
turn
to
consistently
and
district.
J
One
I
had
a
lot
of
questions
in
the
working
session,
so
just
quick
reminders
about
all
the
bridges,
especially
in
the
infrastructure,
the
biggest
bridge
project
being
the
North
Washington
Bridge.
We
have
an
East
Boston
task
force
traffic
task
force,
specifically
wondering
where
that's
going
on
and
the
plants
they've
had
or
any
and
how
that
be
implemented.
It's
so
slow,
Street,
bennington
Street,
especially,
is
a
priority.
North
End
sidewalks.
Because
of
this
or
nature,
and
some
of
the
way
the
building's
been
built.
J
How
do
we
make
sure
again,
those
sidewalks
are
becoming
a
be
a
compliant
I
know
there
was
a
big
project
to
push
and
move
and
do
the
curb
cuts.
Crosswalks
things
like
that
because
of
the
barrels
or
I
think
one
of
the
number
one
asks
of
our
community
in
the
north
end
also
in
East,
Austin,
I
think
at
a
minimum.
J
Every
single
City
lot
should
have
a
bear
room
that
people
can
throw
in
their
trash
and
also
we
need
to
consider
having
a
doggie
waste
barrel
as
well
attached
to
or
near
that,
so
that
people
have
with
bags
on
them
down
the
Greenway
and
down
on
any
public
barrel
that
we
have
assuming
people
are
walking
there
their
pets
around
there.
I
want
to
also
make
sure
that
we
were
talking
about.
J
Excuse
me
infrastructure
with
regards
to
not
just
trash,
but
as
we're
looking
at
tourist
impact
in
our
neighborhood,
especially
in
the
North
End
I
know
we
allocate
based
off
of
kind
of
population,
but
the
North
End
gets
two
million
people
a
year
again.
So
that's
looking
at
the
Hokie
hours
and
planning
to
either
increase
or
decrease.
Also,
a
concern
is
about
the
the
timing
for
the
the
street
work,
especially
the
north,
on
or
throughout.
It
seems
like
with
fewer
cars
in
the
road.
J
J
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
a
lot
of
y'all,
specifically
about
Russia
and
gpw,
combined
combined
after
the
round
long
island.
So
that's
certainly
one
that
I
more
increased
focus
and
discussion
on.
Similarly,
some
of
the
specific
capital
projects,
as
it
relates
to
Center
Street
in
both
Jamaica
Plain
and
West
Roxbury,
where
we've
seen
some
allocation
for
safety
initiatives
as
it
relates
to
vision,
zero
delighted
to
see
the
increase.
H
The
five
million
dollar
increase
obviously
want
to
drill
down
a
little
bit
more
in
the
funding
the
ility
crash
data
on
a
lot
of
the
decisions
and
wanted
to
echo
the
purpose
pollution
of
projects.
There
is
a
state
project
that
has
a
city
component
between
my
district
in
councillor,
Jamie's
district.
That's
the
Columbus
Avenue
dedicated
bus
lane,
which
is
a
DC,
are
to
me
an
MBTA
state,
d-o-t
project,
but
there's
been
some
talk
about
having
a
bike
connection
between
district
six
and
seven
to
allow
for
that
to
encourage
better
usage
of
the
Southwest
corridor.
H
So
you
know
that's
something:
we've
talked
about
at
length,
one
a
little
bit
more
specificity
on
that
as
it's
not
in
the
capital
budget.
Similarly,
you
know
delighted
to
see
this
petite
bike
Network
increased
and
want
to
talk
about
how
we
were
utilizing
that
and
what
it
looks
like,
not
only
in
district
6
but
throughout
the
entire
city.
H
Finally,
I
think
much
of
my
discussion,
which
is
much
of
the
focus
on
BTD
in
the
budget
process,
is
going
to
be
how
we
can
work
with
sort
of
the
new
reality
that
we're
looking
at
we're
going
to
have
fewer
people
likely
at
least
initially
use
the
MBTA
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
infrastructure
available
not
only
for
cyclists,
but
also
for
a
scooters.
As
many
people
know,
I've
been
working
on
this
issue
for
quite
some
time.
We've
panel,
they
a
working
group
with
BTD
the
disabilities
Commission
Public
Works
as
well.
H
There
was
some
talk
about
highlighting
a
program
which
we've
actually
kind
of
slowed
down,
but
this
is
just
something
that
should
be
part
of
our
conversation:
Mike
mobility,
how
we
use
it
and
how
we
use
it
well
and
then.
Finally,
switching
gears
to
DPW
appreciate
the
comments.
Many
of
my
colleagues
on
our
efforts
around
waste
and
sustainability.
We,
after
many
many
years
of
fighting,
were
able
to
secure
piloted
composting
and
textile
pickup
in
last
year's
budget.
Both
of
those
were
put
out
to
bid
there's,
obviously
been
some.
H
It's
moved
into
someone's
glacial
pace,
so
that
I
think
needs
to
be
really
focused
on
going
forward.
We
also
need
to
have
the
difficult
discussion
as
it
relates
to
moving
away
from
single
stream
recycling
to
multiple
stream
recycling,
because,
as
I
think,
all
of
you
know
I'm
like
a
broken
record
on
this,
but
it
bears
repeating
the
cost
for
recycling
is
now
significantly
more
than
just
traditional
trash
pickup.
To
put
that
in
comparison,
when
I
began
on
this
body,
we
were
actually
generating
revenue
for
our
every
tonnage
of
recycling.
H
That
was
picked
up,
we're
now
paying
120
hundred
twenty-five
dollars
per
ton
where
we
used
to
get
paid
about
three
to
five
dollars
per
ton.
So
this
is
something
that
not
only
is
environmentally
important,
but
also
good,
as
our
jobs
and
stewards
of
the
taxpayer
money
to
make
sure
we're
getting
the
best
deal.
So
I
think
my
line
of
questioning
on
those
two
I
know
libraries,
we
all
care
about.
As
well
delighted
to
see
Egleston
eggleston
branch
renovation
in
the
budget
want
to
drill
down
on
that
when
we
get
to
ppl
as
well.
K
Thank
You
chairwoman
clock,
so
my
questions
are
for
Public,
Works
I.
Think
one
of
the
goals
that
they
stated
in
FY
21
was
to
launch
a
recruitment
campaign
to
hard-to-fill
engineer
and
skilled
laborers
I'm
just
curious
about
what
the
proposal
we
quit.
We
could
make
campaign
will
look
like
and
what
the
campaign
will
be.
K
Conducting
specifically
outreach
for
engineers
and
still
neighbors
or
people
who
are
people
of
color
just
want
to
get
a
better
sense
of
what
I
can
aim
looks
like
and
just
to
follow
up
on
contours
question
I'd
like
to
hear
more
about
the
FY
21
goal
to
implement
new
procurement
policies.
Who
are
they
looking?
What
who
are
they
looking
to
expand
and
improve
the
pool
respondents
to
include
I'm
just
really
curious
about
what
that
process
will
look
like
in
the
budget
narrative?
It
says
that
the
PWD
has
so
far
spent
1.3
million
in
overtime.
K
However,
in
the
PD
in
the
PWD
summarize
a
portion
that,
but
they
says
that
they
have
so
far
spent
2.3
million
in
overtime.
Why
is
there
a
difference
between
these
two
numbers?
Just
curious
about
that
and
in
regards
to
Public
Works
I?
Would
love
to
know
how
city
sidewalks
get
determined
in
terms
of
which
city
sidewalks
they
fix
and
how
and
what
the
timeline
looks
like?
K
I
know
from
experience
in
my
neighborhood
that
this
is
just
that
just
because,
if
you
are
building
something
doesn't
necessarily
mean
people
will
use
it.
What
funding
is
available
to
actively
encourage
people
out
of
their
cars
and
onto
bikes
on
this
corridor?
So
again,
just
having
these
new
bikes
there
in
certain
neighborhoods
is
just
getting
people
to
use
them
so
wondering
that
they
plan
to
do
some
public
awareness
campaign
or
something
to
get
people
out
of
their
cars.
K
I
asked
these
same
questions
in
the
Public
Works
Department,
but
is
there
a
plan
in
terms
of
recruitment
campaign
for
hard
to
fill
positions?
Where
are
they
recruiting
from
and
does
this
campaign
include
reaching
out
the
skilled
employees
of
color
and
we're
not
talking
about
the
libraries
now
are?
We
can.
K
So
then,
just
these
two
departments,
I
guess
I'm-
also
wondering
I-
know
that
certain
neighborhoods
have
more
garbage
cans.
If
you
will
I'm
just
also
curious
about
the
process
of
how
do
we
decide
how
many
garbage
cans
are
we
spreading
across
the
city?
Do
do
they
have
do
they
do
a
study
to
see
how
much
garbage
is
in
a
particular
neighborhood,
and
then
they
put
put
a
garbage?
Can
there
I'm
just
curious
about
how
those
things
get
decided
and
also
I'm
curious
about
the
time
where
the
garbage
is
picked
up?
B
Great,
thank
you
so
much
councillor,
all
right,
I'll
just
quickly
say
on
my
end,
I
asked
a
full
bunch
of
streets
related
questions
in
our
capital
hearing
which
I
will
be
coming
back
to
I.
Do
want
to
thank
them.
In
the
meantime,
I've
had
a
chance
to
chat
with
BTD
about
some
of
the
plans
for
resurfacing
and
adding
race
crosswalk
on
Beacon
Hill,
and
also
the
plans
to
improve
bike
safety
on
Boylston
Street
in
Fenway
and
pedestrian
safety
on
that
stretch
as
well.
So
really
appreciate
that
outreach
I
think.
B
We
need
to
think
systematically
moving
through
our
lights,
all
over
the
city,
about
how
we're
prioritizing
vulnerable
users
in
those
signals
and
I
really
want
to
understand
what
the
plan
is
for
that,
because
I
know
that
we
to
some
extent
we
think
signalization
when
we
redo
a
given
intersection.
But
it's
signalization
changes
shouldn't
have
to
wait
on
the
physical
redoing
of
an
intersection.
F
B
Street
in
Cambridge
versus
Boston,
pretty
immediately
so
definitely
want
to
raise
those
issues.
I
know
I've
seen
I,
don't
know
whether
it's
related
to
Cove
it
or
not,
but
a
whole
bunch
of
the
pedestrian
beg
buttons,
which
you
know
are
the
buttons
people
press
supposedly
to
get
the
light
along.
Calm
ad
have
been
removed
recently,
which
makes
sense
because
those
lights
are
all
I.
B
Conversely,
I
think
there
are
a
bunch
of
places
where
we
really
appreciate
where
we
put
in
like
pedestrian
activated
lights
and
crossings,
and
those
can
be
really
useful
for
neighborhoods
and
first
slowing
down
traffic.
So
would
love
to
understand
more
about
our
policy
on
on
rolling
out
more
of
those
and
then
I
think
just
in
general.
B
I
do
want
to
ask
me
to
D
a
question
about
how
to
how
to
think
about
this
shift,
even
if
it's
temporary
in
usage
of
our
streets
and
how
we
make
more
of
our
Street
space
available
for
pedestrians,
bicyclists,
etc.
And
my
instinct
is
that
it's
almost
one
of
those
things
that
you
have
to
do
to
do
it
well
to
create
more
space
for
people
to
socially
distance
and
walk
around
the
city,
but
without
incentivizing
a
whole
bunch
of
people,
the
crowd
to
a
specific
location.
B
You
almost
have
to
do
like
a
wider
set
of
places.
I've
been
intrigued.
Beacon
Hill
has
a
long
tradition
of
informal
shared
streets
in
the
sense
that
most
people
walk
in
the
street
unless
a
car
is
coming.
But
the
quit
and
drivers
sort
of
learned
to
know
that
and
I'm
curious
about.
Are
there
ways
in
kovat,
even
without
blocking
a
street
that
we
could?
B
So
those
are
kind
of
semi-conscious
BTD,
like
I,
said:
I
have
a
ton
of
specific
ones
which
I
already
forwarded
over
to
them
on
the
public
works.
I'd
just
really
want
to
understand
the
composting
thing.
It's
something
that
a
ton
of
people
in
my
district
are
really
yearning
for
so
understanding
that
roll
out
an
expansion
that
pilot
and
what
its
gonna
mean
for
somebody
who's
actively
interested
in
connecting
to
that
system.
B
What
can
we
tell
our
constituents
and
then
I
just
really
want
to
echo
councilor,
Arroyo
and
Mejia
on
procurement,
for
both
these
departments,
BTD
and
PWD.
I?
Think
to
councillor
Edwards
point:
there's
an
enormous
opportunity
for
us
to
do
a
hugely
increased
amount
of
street
work
because
of
the
decrease
in
traffic
right
now,
and
also
I.
Think
in
a
moment
where
we,
where
we
are
trying
to
have
a
robust
capital
budget,
you
know
we're
in
a
position
to
borrow
money
on
the
capital
side.
B
In
many
ways
that
seems
like
it
may
be
more
available
in
the
coming
year,
then
precious
operating
dollars
I
just
think
that
if
that's
gonna
be
a
big
way
that
our
city
is
spending
money,
we
have
got
to
be
doing
more
than
our
more
than
the
pilots.
We
were
planning
before
more
than
a
five-year
trajectory
for
how
to
get
some
more
diverse,
be
in
our
bids,
like
we've
got
to
figure
out
ways
to
intervene
now.
B
So
that's
some
of
the
money
that
goes
out
the
door
and
FY
21
is
is
going
out
to
a
much
more
diverse
segment
of
this
population.
That's
hurting
so
much
so
yeah!
So
really
just
want
to
echo
those
things.
Those
are
mine,
great
and
now
we'll
go
back
up
to
the
top
and
we'll
do
the
library
and
DCYF
and
ye
together.
A
B
B
D
D
It's
important.
This
is
the
only
we
see
why
out
of
community
center,
that
we
have
in
our
district
and
it's
really
important
that
we
plan
ahead
and
ensure
a
smooth
transition
and
continue
to
provide
the
services
that
that
the
Jackson
man,
Community
Center,
provides
right
now.
A
smooth
transition
to
that
interim
period
is
really
important
and
the
libraries,
the
Fanueil
branch
library,
is
created
for
renovation,
which
will
begin.
D
According
to
my
recent
discussions,
it
will
begin
in
December
of
this
year
and
I
like
to
see
some
provision
made
to
provide
some
library
services
in
the
interim.
Given
that
we
will
be
losing
our
missing
my
App
Center
at
the
same
time
as
losing
one
of
our
libraries
I,
feel
that
there
may
be
potential
to
provide
some
ongoing
programming
library
programming
in
a
community
space.
That's
available
to
bridge
bridge
that
time
when
the
library
is
closed
and
also
when
the
BC
1f
centers
closed.
So
those
are
two
things
that
I'd
like
to
look
at.
A
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
With
respect
to
b
c
YF,
obviously,
we've
we've
had
some
we've
got
some
very
exciting
news
with
respect
to
capital
projects
there
in
the
pipeline.
So
I
think
folks,
over
there
and
across
the
city
in
various
neighborhoods
will
be,
will
be
pumped
about
some
of
our
local
community
centers,
getting
an
infusion
of
investment
and
upgrades.
So
that's
on
the
good
news
front.
A
My
concern,
obviously,
is
that,
given
the
Cova
19
response
and
the
shutdown,
if
you
will,
you
know,
where
do
we
stand
with
our
youth
and
what's
the
plan
moving
forward
as
our
children
obviously
trying
to
learn
at
home?
But
what's
that's
what's
the
summer
going
to
look
like?
Is
this
a
big
question
that
I
have
and
I
think
to
hear
from
a
lot
of
the
nonprofit
organizations
across
the
city,
particularly
the
youth
organization.
Just
to
you
know,
concerns
around
what
the
plan
is.
A
What's
the
programming
going
to
look
like
the
hours
of
operation
gonna
be
so
again
a
lot
of
uncertainty
around
that
and,
quite
frankly,
we
probably
don't
even
have
a
real,
clear
picture,
but
hopefully
the
wheels
are
spinning
over
a
B,
COF
and
they're,
starting
to
think
about.
You
know
how
we're
going
to
engage
our
youth.
You
know
independent
of
obviously
the
pandemic.
A
You
know
we
have
violent
crime
that
continues
to
a
dog-ass
City,
as
does
the
opioid
crisis,
and
one
thing
we
know
is
that
we
got
to
keep
our
kids
active
and
engaged
busy
off
the
streets.
You
know
with
meaningful
opportunities
that
you
know
that
they
could
have
great
learning
experiences
with
indoor
job
opportunities
what's
the
summer
job
plan.
A
So
those
are
my
big
concerns
with
respect
to
be
cyf
and
would
love
to
hear
so
what
their
vision
is
now
in
light
of
the
Cova
19
shutdown
and
what
pressures
that's
put
on
them
and
how
we,
as
a
body
and
or
our
other
local
partners,
can
can
assist
in
in
their
effort
as
well,
so
and
also
with
respect
to
the
libraries
it.
The
same
applies
to
that.
A
A
So
those
are
things
I'm
going
to
be
looking
and
asking
as
it
pertains
to
our
community
centers
and
their
libraries
and
what
potential
capital
plans
down
the
road
could
we
envision
that
will
increase
our
housing
opportunities
for
Housing
Opportunity
will
increase
our
small
business
opportunities
and
will
increase.
You
know
local
parking
opportunities
for
residents
that
are
in
densely
populated
neighborhoods
or
business
districts
that
could
use
additional
parking
to
attract
business.
I,
appreciate
your
attention
here
to
detail
and
look
forward
to
getting
the
responses
from
the
appropriate
parties.
At
the
hearing.
Great.
C
C
Libraries
I
think
that
the
West
End
Wars
was
a
library
that
was
identified
as
potentially
excited
to
do
something
like
that's
a
we're
in
that
discussion
and
PB
CY
yeah
I
talked
about
it
for
a
couple
years,
haven't
really
made
much
headway
on
it.
The
Leahy
Halloran
does
does
great
work
down
there
in
the
deposit
section
well,
just
and
and
when
they're
closed
or
in
the
weekend
or
whatever.
You
know.
C
A
lot
of
those
kids
are
running
around
parking
lots
and
they're
they're
starting
they're
drinking
Perez,
so
looking
to
see,
if
BC,
why
I've
had
any
any
plan
around
a
standalone
community
center.
That
would
be.
That
would
be
a
mix
of
senior
team
toddler
sort
of
center
for
us
down
here
in
the
profit
area
or
part
of
Dorchester,
and
that's
about
it.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
great.
B
F
Thank
You
chair
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
through
our
libraries
we've
seen
some
no
effort
to
support
individuals
dealing
with
in
experiencing
homelessness
and
I
meant
the
health
issues
and
certainly
substance
use
disorders.
So
I
would
love
them
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
work
that's
happening
in
the
Central
Library
I
know
that
they
had
convened
over
the
last
few
years,
a
working
group
that
put
together
a
resource
guide
that
incorporated
some
efforts
to
connect
visitors
to
the
library
with
social
workers.
F
So
I'm
just
I'm
curious
about
the
work
that
continues,
especially
in
the
center
sent
a
library.
But
how
has
that
been
supporting
and
been
rolled
out
to
efforts
in
our
in
our
branch,
libraries
and
then
there's
a
particular
relationship
and
partnership
with
Pine
Street
in
and
just
curious
how
that's
been
working
out
and
if
we'll
be
expanding,
expanding
that
as
well
and
and
through
the
library.
We
know
that
a
lot
of
our
residents
can
access
some
housing
search
in
case
work
in
particular,
so
just
curious
about
how
successful
that
program
has
been.
F
You
know
the
important
role
they
play
for
our
families
and
for
our
youth.
They
also
play
a
critical
role,
could
play
a
more
important
role
for
our
small
businesses
in
our
sort
of
a
mini
economic
engines
across
our
city.
So
could
we
see
some
of
that
work?
That's
happening
in
the
central
branch
through
small
business
and
economic
development
support
in
our
branches,
I'd
love
to
see
some
of
that
happening,
and
then
you
know
Cove
in
note.
F
So
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
the
sort
of
the
bones
of
our
library
system
for
the
future,
because
if
we
could
have
maintained
them
open
longer
and
through
this
pandemic,
a
lot
of
our
residents
who
are
experienced
in
isolation
who
don't
have
access
to
food
services
or
mental
health
services
or
the
Internet,
and
we
think
about
our
kids
if
we
could
have
maintained,
kept
them
open
longer.
I
think
that
that
would
have
been
really
helpful
on
BC,
uif,
I'm,
just
summer
program.
F
I
think
we're
all
really
interested
in
the
role
of
summer
programming
and
it's
okay
to
be
C
way
off.
Right
now.
Right,
yeah,
perfect
and
then
just
sort
of
again,
it's
it's
another
place
where,
if
we
have,
if
we
can
learn
from
this,
this
experience
with
vat19
the
BC
way
app.
The
youth
centers,
a
family
centers
really
could
be
a
resource
and
an
asset
we've
seen
them
used
for
food
distribution
and
things
like
that.
But
they
really
the
more.
F
We
can
do
out
of
those
places,
those
centers
of
our
communities,
the
more
resources
we
can
get
to
our
families
and
our
residents
across
the
city
so
curious
about
some
of
the
jobs
curious
about
the
role
that
they'll
play
through
the
summer.
We
are
continuing
to
distribute
meal,
distribute
meals
and
other
things
across
across
the
city
in
the
summer
and
then
and
sort
of
specifically
things
that
are
happening.
F
Our
street
outreach
soar
which
it
comes
to
be
cyf,
curious
about
the
work
that's
happening
there
and
then
some
sort
of
general
programming
or
you
know,
what's
the
planning
that's
happening,
going
forward
to
reincorporate
our
families
into
activities,
whether
it's
swimming,
whether
it's
physical
activities,
whether
it's
cooking
classes,
in
addition
to
sort
of
the
summer
camp
stuff?
That's
it
for
me,
that's
brown!
Thank
you
great.

Similarly,
what
their
plans
are
for
your
Libya
I'm,
a
big
fan
of
the
Libya
app
and
it
creates
access
to
electronic
ebooks,
but
they're
usually
stunted
in
number,
and
so
you
have
to
wait
sometimes
months
to
get
access
to
the
newer
ebook
in
light
of
Koba
19.
What
are
the
plans
to
kind
of
change,
the
way
that
they
do
their
online
service?
G
And
what
programming
are
they
thinking
about
doing
for
youth
and
for
folks,
like
that,
similar
to
Public
Works
in
the
transportation
department,
16
Boston,
Public
Library
contracts
and
if
one
was
awarded
to
a
woman-owned
business,
none
to
any
people
of
color?
What's
BPL
planning
on
doing
to
improve
representation
of
folks
of
color
and
women
in
small
businesses
and
contracts,
especially
since,
like
Public
Works,
many
of
their
contracts
are
expiring
on
June
30th
when
we
get
to-
and
this
might
be,
I
think
we've
covered.
D
G
The
other
thing
really
briefly
on
that
part
was
I'd
spoken
to
BPL
about,
because
our
libraries
are
all
closed
in
terms
of
Roslindale.
We
were
having
an
issue
with
folks
tuning
their
books
on
coal.
We
talked
about
a
book,
dispensing
machine
that
exists
similar
to
a
vending
machine
for
books,
so
that
folks
could
get
their
holes
and
you
get
new
books
out
of
the
piece
of
wire
facility.
There
was
some
interest
in
that
now:
post
Colvin,
just
kind
of
checking
in
where
they
are
on
that
from
BC
YF.
G
G
You
see,
what's
be
CYFS
plan
to
proactively
sign
contracts
to
folks
of
color
and
women
owned
small
local
businesses
when
it
comes
to
some
of
youth
employment.
How
was
that
reflected
in
the
program
in
the
budget
and
although
their
plans
there
and
then
just
on
the
PC?
Why
is
appalling
fun?
But
what
effect,
if
any,
has
koba
19
had
on
the
fiscally
revolving
fund,
receipts
and
expenditures,
and
that
is
it
for
now
anything
else
that
comes
up
I'll,
send
it
in
and
so
we'll
go
from
there
great.
G
I
Thank
You
counsel,
Bach,
as
it
relates
to
the
public
libraries
we,
the
the
city,
invested
money
recently
in
the
Southend
branch,
and
actually
the
Southend
branch
is
in
the
middle
of
is
the
border
of
mine
and
Kim
Jaime's
district.
So
we
both
take
great
pride
in
the
Felton
library,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
it's.
I
It
continues
to
be
an
outstanding
library,
but
I
want
to
see
in
the
staff
in
there
or
excellent
and
I
want
to
see
what
type
of
outreach
in
services
we
are
going
to
do
for
the
nearby
village
of
Tori
of
residence.
Many
of
them
many
of
them
are
Puerto
Rican,
so
I'd
like
to
be,
and
our
access
to
services
for
spanish-speaking
residents
in
and
around
the
South
End,
especially.
I
The
West
End
library
is
something
I'm
also
concerned,
but
I
do
have
a
lot
of
constituents
that
that
use
that
so
I
certainly
support
new
one
and
in
the
others,
in
making
sure
that
that's
an
excellent
library
as
well.
The
stealth
Boston
branch
is
is
one
of
the
oldest
public
is
one
of
the
oldest
branches
we
have
in
the
city.
I
It
needs
a
lot
of
work,
eventually
I'd
love
to
see
a
brand-new
library
and,
as
Council
of
clarity
mentioned,
perhaps
having
senior
housing
above
it
again.
The
staff
they
didn't
do
a
tremendous
job.
I
want
to
see
more
services
for
children.
We
have
a
lot
of
mothers
groups
a
lot
of
children
with
mothers
that
go
up
there,
nannies
that
go
up
there
during
the
day
as
well
want
to
see
what
type
of
services
we
can
expand.
I
I
And
the
the
Central
Library
is
in
my
district.
It's
an
exceptional
library.
I
want
to
I
want
to
see
what
what
services
we
can
continue
to
have
for
our
seniors
that
went
to
that
library
frequently
what
services
we
have
specifically
for
persons
with
disabilities
in
that
library,
as
well
as
spanish-speaking
residents
and
residents,
that
speak
other
languages
as
well,
and
that's
probably
it
for
libraries
council
bark
as
it
relates
to
be
cyf
programming,
is
always
a
concern.
I
I
Going
into
the
south
end,
the
Blackstone
be
cyf
facility,
it
needs
it
needs
work.
The
structural
work
I
had
an
opportunity
to
visit
recently
and
I'd
like
to
see
a
more
of
an
investment
into
the
BC
YF.
They
have
a
swimming
at
Blackstone.
They
have
a
swimming
pool
there
as
well.
I
want
to
know
about
the
hours
of
the
swimming
pool
and
what
is
the
status
of
a
you
know,
chill
teaching
children
how
to
swim
is
critical.
I
I
I
J
Just
need
to
be
seen
at
first
and
I'm,
not
worthy
Senior,
Center
I
think
it's
coming
under
DCYF
was
under
libraries,
but
it's
an
East
Boston.
That's
a
p.m.
senior
center,
the
pool,
as
well
as
getting
redone
and
he's
Constance
with
the
timeline
for
that
bizarro
Center
and
the
north
and
I
believe
it's
budgeted
to
be
plainer
than
just
curious
about
that
process.
There
has
been
a
lot
of
good
neighborhood
feedback
into
the
new
version
of
the
Nazzaro
Center
sure
it's
going
to
be
proposed.
J
Looking
at
I
just
want
to
echo
canceller
or
sorry,
George
is
concerned
about
or
suggestions
or
just
wanting
feedback
on
summer.
Jobs,
specifically
in
our
youth
engagement
through
clothing
and
I,
would
I
would
really
like
it
to
just
go
beyond
the
jobs.
But
how
are
we
going
to
be
a
chanting
for
looking
at
talking
when
feeding
these
families
and
how
we're
gonna
make
summer
break
or
summer
vacation?
J
I
am
curious
about
the
police
station
in
East
Boston
and
how
that
is
a
person
update
on
how
that
is
ducks
the
position
to
the
new
substation
supposedly
coming
in
the
East
Boston
I
know
ever
sources,
both
no
substation
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
a
true
sign
up
and
a
true
accounting
for
having
a
new
police
station
with
a
lot
of
radio
technology
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
Right
next
to
a
substation
I,
don't
know
that
they
actually
was.
J
There
is
also
a
pic
Commission
done
for
equal
square,
specifically
about
the
acquiring
of
the
city
of
a
huge
amount
of
land
from
a
private
owner
and
how
that
should
be
designed,
and
we
purposed
for
city
purposes,
I'm
curious
about
the
there
was
a
huge
initiative,
I
think
when
I
first
human
to
for
the
first
time
have
integrity
analysis,
but
also
has
an
accounting
system
for
all
the
BC
Weinstein
screws.
Some
people
may
not
realize
their
bonding
is
actually
containing
our
nonprofits.
J
The
city
has
no
access
to
the
bank.
Accounts
of
those
nonprofits
have
received
no
reports
for
those
nonprofits.
In
some
cases
the
nonprofit's
accepted
cash.
They
accepted
money
orders,
they
didn't
know
it
except
checks,
so
there
was
no
way
to
trace
where
the
money
went.
That
resulted
in
a
lot
of
concerns
about
putting
issues
some
bcy
us
being
able
to
raise
a
huge
amount
of
money,
others
less
so
or
some
raising
money
and
having
no
idea
where
it
went.
Where
is
that
process
right
now.
B
H
It's
been
quite
a
while
I,
remember
being
a
young
kid
at
the
last
renovation
and
I'm
no
longer
young
orchid
as
it
relates
to
be
cyf
specifically
I
want
to
really
drill
down
in
the
N
again
community
center
on
8th
Street
JP
back
of
the
hill.
Now,
as
we
know,
many
of
these
community
centers
shares
space
with
schools
and
want
to
talk
about,
so
they
could
literally
share
a
building
but
be
obviously
completely
different
entities,
which
is
for
safety
reason
and
a
whole
host
of
other
reasons.
H
H
Are
we
undertaking,
as
it
relates
to
the
school
buildings
that
also
holds
ecy
of
centers,
and
then
similarly,
is
there
an
opportunity
for
the
Hennigan,
specifically
I've
met
with
a
number
of
the
residents
there,
mostly
my
constituents,
but
quite
a
few
from
the
other
side
of
the
hill
and
councillor
box
districts
as
well?
It's
it's
a
wonderful
little
place.
The
only
issue
is
it's.
It's.
It's
been
a
dilapidated
building
now
for
going
on
decades.
So
how
do
we
address
that
in
the
short
term?
H
And
then
how
do
we
look
at
this
in
relation
to
bps
is
build
the
EPS
plan
as
well
going
forward.
Similarly,
you
know
the
need
for
a
standalone
senior
building
in
West
Roxbury,
specifically
a
neighborhood
that
boasts
about
a
quarter
of
all
residents
as
senior
citizens
is
something
that
I
know.
My
colleagues
and
I
have
been
pushing
for
quite
some
time
again.
H
We
understand
constraints
that
will
be
presented
on
us
with
this
budget,
but
this
is
or
with
future
buzz
it's
particularly
in
the
short
term,
but
this
is
a
conversation
that
we
at
least
need
to
be
undertaking,
as
it
relates
to
planning
for
a
standalone.
Senior
Center
potentially
have
any
looking
at
leasing
at
some
space
or
some
other
ideas
that
may
have
presented
themselves,
so
those
will
be
sort
of
the
main
line
of
focus
on
libraries,
district
specific,
as
mostly
my
district
colleagues
have
said,
for
both
of
those
topics.
Thank
you.
K
Let
me
go
up
to
the
library
and
if
I
sneeze
I
just
want
everybody
to
know,
I
do
not
have
Corona
I
just
have
allergies,
so
I
don't
want
you
all
spreading
rumors
about
me
out
there.
Okay,
so
just
you
know
I'm
trying
to
contain
myself
here
all
right.
So
in
terms
of
the
libraries
just
two
questions,
one
in
the
FY
21
budget
I
recommend
that
a
library
maintenance
are
number
positions
with
a
required
or
recommended.
Second
language
keep
capabilities
which
are
reviewed
on
a
on
a
roll
or
neighborhood
basis.
K
This
is
a
required
number
of
positions
broken
down
by
particular
languages,
or
is
it
just
by
the
second
leg
which
that
is
okay,
so
just
trying
to
get
some
clarity
around.
How
are
they
determining
which
are
the
second
language
is
that
they're
gonna
be
offering
in
different
sites
just
one.
We
understand
that
process
a
little
bit.
K
Second
question
for
the
libraries
is
one
of
the
hiring
challenges
of
the
BPL
has
stated
it
has
to
do
with
the
IT
positions,
mostly
due
to
the
large
number
of
universities
and
IT
firms
in
the
Greater
Boston
area.
My
question
is:
what
opportunities
are
there
for
apprentices
or
other
training
programs
for
these
positions?
So
how
can
we
expand
in
that
pool
to
help
build
the
pipeline
I'm
curious
about
so
moving
on
to
the
Boston
centers
for
youth
to
family
questions?
K
K
One
of
the
goals
is
to
create
a
social
media
campaign
to
share
all
be
cyf,
has
to
offer
for
the
summer
and
fall
2020
as
a
follow-up
to
my
previous
question,
what
this
campaign,
the
multilingual
you
know
still,
how
are
they
gonna
been
adapting
this
to
summer
programming
during
the
Kovach
19
that
we
find
ourselves
in
terms
of
youth,
engagement
and
employment?
A
number
of
the
other
departments
that
we've
spoken
about
today
during
this
working
session
have
stated
that
they're
hiring
that
hiring
for
hard
to
fill
positions
have
been
a
challenge.
K
You
know
we
keep
hearing
that
everywhere
that
I
go
I,
hear
that
from
folks
but
I'm
just
curious.
Is
there
an
opportunity
for
Yee
to
partner
with
these
agencies
to
create
opportunities
that
young
people
can
fill
either
right
away
or
through
training
in
apprentices
right?
So
what
opportunities
exist
for
us
to
start
building
that
pipeline
within
our
own
youth
pool?
K
K
We
hosted
a
youth
development
a
session
on
hi
day
when
we
got
to
can
be
profit
organizations
and
young
people
across
the
city
to
really
unpack
how
we're
gonna
live
in
this
new
norm
without
knowing
whether
or
not
we're
gonna
be
returning
back
to
back
to
school
back
to
work
back
to
quote-unquote
life
and
just
you
know
a
lot
of
the
conversations
that
came
from
that
was
really
about.
How
do
we
create
virtual
spaces
for
young
people
and
what
type
of
core
that
we
could
create
for
you
to
work?
K
K
A
little
bit
curious
about
the
participatory
budget
process.
There
was
a.
There
was
once
upon
a
time,
a
youth
participatory
project
process,
Ashley
Rose,
who
I
know
we
used
to
run
it
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
that's
still
around
and
if
so,
who's
leading
it
and
how?
How
does
it
work
and
how
are
young
people
in
forming
these
decisions?
K
Aside
from
just
the
Midler's
Youth
Council,
which
is
great
and
I,
appreciate
that
they
have
a
formal
voice
but
just
one
drink.
What
other
ways
we
can
engage
young
people
in
these
processes
and
I
am
curious
about
I,
think
about
youth
employment
and
not
just
during
the
summer,
just
wondering
what
year
around
employment
opportunities
exist.
For
you
thank.
B
You
thank
you
so
much
councillor
maria
I
yeah
I
on.
We
need
year-round,
year-round
job
opportunities
for
our
young
people
and
and
on
the
on
the
youth
budget.
There
is
still
in
the
capital
budget
like
line
item
for
youth
capital
budget
projects,
but
I
agree
that
we
don't
really
have
a
lot
of
detail
on
how
that
process
is
going
or
who
or
what
it's
yielding
so
good
thing
for
us
to
ask
that
about
my
own
further
questions
on
the
I'll
stay
with
youth
for
a
minute
on
the
BC
YF
front.
B
B
But,
like
you
know,
programs
around
that
are
gonna
be
impacted
by
covin
in
terms
of
like
that,
you
know
in
person
works
that
they
focus
on
so
understanding,
but,
like
the
need,
is
still
really
there.
So
understanding
how
we're
rethinking
Network
understanding,
how
we're
rethinking
for
all
the
young
people
who
use
our
BC
YF
centers,
you
know
if
there's
a
modified
way
to
make
those
available
this
summer.
If
there
isn't,
what
are
we
gonna?
B
Creating
you
know,
I,
think
the
question
of
like.
Could
we
be
sending
out
materials
for
some
kind
of
arts
activity
or
like
science
activity
or
something?
Could
we
be
sending
like
a
weekly
package
of
materials
to
our
families
all
summer?
The
same
way
that
we're
thinking
about
getting
food
out
to
our
families?
We
can't
come
to
the
sites.
I,
just
think
I
think
we
need
to
think
way
outside
the
box
in
terms
of
how
to
engage
young
people
and
I.
B
You
know
digital
music
composition,
I
think
there
are
a
bunch
of
things
that
people
could
be
doing,
that
young
people
could
be
doing
that
are
engaging
and
creative
and
expand
your
mind
and
can
be
done
from
home,
and
then
people
can
kind
of
check
in
with
each
other
and
feel
a
sense
of
community.
That
way
so
I
just
really
would
like
to
hear
how
BC
YF
is
thinking
about
the
possibilities
on
that
front
and.
B
And
then
on
BPL
I
eye
last
time,
I
checked
in
on
it.
It
was
working.
Okay,
we've
had
a
bunch
of
issues
with
the
Parker
Hill
library's
elevator,
so
I
want
to
check
in
on
how
that's
doing
and
whether
it
needs
replacing
I
asked
him
public
facilities,
but,
alas,
calls
for
the
BPL
about
the
Weston
library
study.
Specifically,
the
plan
for
community
engagement
around
that
facility
study
I
think
that
there's
a
bunch
of
interested
parties.
You
know
the
Friends
group
would
love
to
have
a
seat
on
the
sort
of
CAC
equivalent.
B
For
that
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
interest
as
far
as
accounts
or
Baker
referenced
and
doing
housing
or
both
public
assets.
They're
just
really
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
having
that
planning
study
conversation
in
a
360-degree
way
with
all
the
participants
I
want
a
I.
You
know
technically
at
the
Central
Library
is
council
instead
is
in
his
district,
but
but
it's
also
used
by
a
huge
amount
of
my
district
and
my
district
votes
in
it.
B
Digitize
more
of
the
manuscript
and
rare
book
collections
interested
also
in
the
capital
planning
around
that
third
floor
space
and
the
old
library
which
I
think
still.
After
all,
the
other
work
hasn't
been
renovated
and
dealt
with,
and
then
just
really
want
to
hear.
You
know
the
community
of
folks
who
are
unhappy.
B
B
How
are
we
thinking
about
the
role
that
our
libraries
play
and
how
to
modify
that
and
how
to
handle
that
in
over
the
summer
and
into
the
fall
ahead,
so
that
those
are
my
those
my
big
a
questions
for
BPL
yeah
and
then
on
youth
I,
just
want
to
stress
I
think
we
have
to
find.
We
can't
be
canceling
the
summer,
a
youth
jobs
program
like
we
just
we
have
to
figure
out
a
way,
regardless
of
regardless
of
what
jobs
are
sort
of
constrained
to
be.
B
You
know
helping
our
young
people
who
count
on
those
jobs
to
support
their
families
and
their
and
themselves
this
summer,
and
so
that's
really
important
to
me
and
and
I
want
us
to
all
be
being
really
creative
about
that.
So
those
are
my
questions.
Oh
and
the
last
one
is
sorry
I
forgot.
We
have
no
BC
YF
centers
in
most
of
my
district,
with
a
great
one
at
the
Tobin
out
admission
park,
and
so
I
would
love
to
see.
As
we
talked
about
some
big
in
my
district
there's,
the
Hurley
building,
there's
MGH
is
project.
B
You
know
even
this
Weston
library
project.
The
question
of
what
capacity
is
there
for
us
to
add
some
community
center
Senior
Center
youth
center
type
space
when
we
have
those
big
building
projects
same
thing
up,
their
behinds
is
really
important,
so
yeah,
so
those
are
mine.
Alright,
I
see
Michael
clarity's
hand
is
up
so
I'll
go
to
him
next
and
since
we've
run
through
sort
of
the
official
topics,
we'll
just
do
a
round
of
remaining
questions
for
anybody
who
has
them
on
any
of
the
things
that
we've
discussed
so
I'll
go
first
councillor
flurry
thank.
A
During
heat
waves
and
for
example,
we
had
situations
where
we
had
folks
working
in
new
community
centres,
7:00
to
3:00
they
little
packing
up
and
walking
out
the
door
when
kids
from
for
after-school.
So
just
again,
I'd
like
to
get
a
sense
as
to
you
know,
have
we
worked
out
the
kinks
on
that
reorg
in
our
community
centers
and
libraries?
Are
they
working
on
all
cylinders
that
they're,
open
and
staffed
in
there's
actual
programming
going
on
when
our
kids
need
them?
The
most?
You
know
to
make
sure
that
we
get
them
engaged
for
after-school.
A
We
got
them
on
the
street.
We
got
them
with
alternatives
to
drugs
into
gangs
into
mischief.
So,
but
it's
on
the
lines
everywhere.
You
were
they
just
want
to
follow
up
on
that
that
project
you
arriving,
you
did.
The
city
did
trying
to
do
a
reorg
and
I
know
that
there
was
some
resistance
to
that
for
the
various
some
some
employees
and
some
of
the
labor
unions.
So
hopefully
they've
worked
out
the
kinks
on
that
and
that
we
actually
have
centers
and
libraries
that
are
open
when
they
should
be
open
and
resources
in
the
programming.
F
You
I
do
have
a
couple
a
few
just
a
few
questions
mayor's
Youth
Council
just
curious
about
where
that
stands
right
now,
I
know
do
this
time.
Kids
are
sort
of
disengaged,
so
just
curious.
So
a
brief
update
on
mayor's
Youth
Council
and
the
youth
lead
the
change
effort.
So
that's
the
the
mayor's
program
where
I
use
it
to
do
some
participatory
budgeting
and
they
can
determine
some
spending
a
million
dollars
of
spending
in
the
mayor's
capital
budget.
F
F
What
will
the
application
be
like
for
this
and
what's
the
criteria
that
will
be
used
to
determine
that
so
just
very
youth,
specific
youth
engagement,
so
questions
probably
under
ye
I,
believe
that's
where
that's
where
that
will
sit
and
I
think
I
think
I
might
have
mentioned
it
briefly.
I'm
sure
that
it
did
and
I
know
that
all
of
us
have,
but
just
to
reiterate
how
important
that
summer,
the
summer
jobs
process
is
and
just
curious
where
we
are
with
the
online
application
process
and
just
to
follow
up
with
that.
F
I
You
Thank
You
council
block,
I
I
just
had
one
follow-up
as
it
waits
to
be
cyf
I
have
several
in
my
in
my
in
my
district
that
are
physically
located
in
public
housing
developments.
You
know
I'd
like
to
know
you
know
what
type
of
interaction
BC
YF
is
having
with
BH
a
to
improve
services
to
ensure
residents
of
BH
a
our
youth
know
about
the
various
programs
and
also
trying
to
get
you
know.
I
The
food
access
program
I
know
they're
involved,
but
let's,
let's
see
how
we
can
ensure
that
kids
in
the
public
housing
have
the
same
opportunities
for
youth
opportunities
and
at
p,
cy
f
centres
and
making
sure
that
they
have
healthy
meals
as
well.
When
they're
at
these
centers
I
know
they
do.
But
let's
continue
to
work
hard
to
make
sure
that
you
know
the
resources
are
there
so
that
these
programs
can't
continue.
I
K
Thank
you.
You
you
skipping
O'malley
is
that
okay.
K
Just
one
of
my
lethal
order
law
here,
I
saw
I
just
have
a
one
or
maybe
two
I,
don't
know
how
many
follow-ups,
but
one
is
specifically
to
be
cool,
I.
Think
it's
the
department
that
deals
with
the
sidewalks
and
the
pavement
in
our
neighborhoods
I
think
I
mentioned
this
in
terms
of
the
heating
patterns.
I
just
want
to
know
what
are
we
doing
to
kind
of
cool
things
down
in
certain
parts
of
the
neighborhoods
aside
from
just
planting
trees?
K
K
So
I'm
just
wondering
if
the
civic
engagement
Academy
can
be
a
vehicle
for
that
or
if
there's
other
ways
that
we
can
figure
out
how
we
can
develop
their
skillset
and
I
know
that,
as
we
are
so
unclear
about,
what's
gonna
happen
this
summer
particular
just
wondering
if
there's
an
opportunity,
I
think
this
was
during
one
of
my
Facebook
events.
Someone
had
mentioned
an
opportunity
to
create
for
young
people
to
be
able
to
not
so
much
clean
the
streets,
but
that
they're,
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
environmental
things
happening.
K
People
dropping
their
gloves
on
the
streets
if
there's
a
way
to
engage
young
people
in
a
campaign
to
help
keep
their
neighborhoods
clean
back
in
the
day,
ABCD
or
I,
don't
know
who
it
was,
but
there
were
the
red
shirts
that
were
part
of
the
youth
programming
jobs.
So
how
can
we
get
young
people
engaged
in
unifying
our
neighborhoods?
Not
just
cleaning
but
like
being
really
thoughtful
about?
K
K
The
ways
that
many
said
they
don't
have
babysitting
kids
and
you
know
at
a
camp
which
is
what
normally
it's
either
the
kidnapper.
Let's
just
be
creative
and
think
about
what
opportunities
exist
for
young
people
during
the
summer,
but
they
need
to
get
they
need.
They
need
work
and
I'm
really
gonna
be
looking
when
used
to
support
this
department
to
find
creative
ways
to
employ
young
people,
and
that's
it.
Thank
you.
B
Great,
thank
you
so
much
counselor,
yeah,
yeah,
I
I,
just
want
to
echo
I.
Think
that
I
think
that
one
of
its
really
valuable
to
give
young
people,
leadership,
opportunities
and
chances
to
you
know
be
involved
in
a
way
where
they
can
tell
that
their
responsibility
is
real
and
I.
Think
we
have
a
huge
number
of
things
that
need
doing
in
this
crisis
and
I
think
that
we
can
ask
our
young
people
to
step
up
and
that
that's
that
gives
them
an
opportunity
to
take
on
responsibility
too,
and
so
we
should
think
about
that.
B
We
should
think
about
individual
project
sort
of
thing.
This
is
just
all
kinds
of
ways
that
people
can
learn
independently
and
we
really
need
to.
We
need
to
step
up
our
creativity
as
a
city
on
that,
because
we
can't
afford
to
have
this
be
six
months
where
our
young
folks
don't
have
don't
have
learning
opportunities
or
jobs
and
I.
Just
really
want
to
stress.
B
I
know
that
when
you
look
in
the
budget
book
but
3330
I
think
summer
jobs,
the
city
is
contemplating
are
meant
to
be
funded,
partly
with
city
funds,
probably
private
funds
and
partly
with
state
money,
and
traditionally
it's
been
hard
to
keep
that
state
line.
Item
up
and
I
think
this
is
gonna,
be
a
tough
state
budget
year.
So
I'm
really
concerned
about.
B
You
know
what
we
do
at
the
City
of
Boston
level
to
make
sure
that
we
really
have
all
those
jobs
we
were
anticipating
for
our
youth
and
yeah
and
I
just
I
I
I
agree.
We
need
to
do
a
ton
on
this
front
in
the
coming
months,
so
all
right,
any
I
somebody
should
anybody
who
has
a
remaining
burning
question
should
raise
their
blue
hands.
Otherwise,
I'm
gonna
gobble
us
out
seeing
none
this
working
session
of
the
Boston,
City,
Council's,
Ways
and
Means
Committee
is
now
adjourned.
Thank
you
all.
So
much
for
joining
nice.
