june
21st
at
5
pm.
The
bcb
does
not
give
any
more
weight
to
spoken

than
it
does
to
written
testimony.
We
will
begin
with
the
first
item.
The
applicant
is
east
boston,
local
roots,
llc.
The
license
premise
is
1006
bennington
street
east
boston.
The
license
type
is
a
recreational
cannabis
dispensary
license.
The
request
is
to
use
dba
east
boston
cannabis
code,
who
is
president
on
behalf
of
the
licensing.
C
C
Okay,
thank
you
good
good
afternoon
ma'am
chair
and
members
of
the
board
and
ms
winn
again.
My
name
is
mike
ross.
I
am
the
attorney
for
east
boston,
local
roots.
We
are
here
on
a
changing
of
the
dba
of
a
do.
Business
has
east
east
boston's,
local
roots,
original
dba
was
going
to
be
east
boston,
local
roots.
C
It's
it's
it's
far
out
there,
I'm
forgetting
madam
chair,
exactly
where
it
is
now
at
the
mic.
It
could
be
like
in
plainville
or
something
like
that.
It's
kind
of
it's
out
there,
it's
not
in
the
city
of
boston,
it's
not
in
somerville
or
cambridge.
It's
not
in
the
immediate,
greater
boston
area.
It's
I
think
it's
in
like
mid
massachusetts
thereabouts
and
they
may
have
more
than
one
outlet.
You
know
we
didn't.
C
B
A
A
A
E
E
E
A
A
G
G
G
G
It's
we're
not
a
very
non-equity
applicant
but
local
roots
on
mission
hill,
isis
for
the
better
word
and
since
obtaining
the
approval
that
all
of
you
were
so
gracious
with
have
been
searching
for
an
investor
who
would
provide
the
necessary
investments
so
that
we
could
complete
the
licensing
process
as
well
as
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
build
this
business
while
maintaining
all
of
the
commitments
to
giving
back
to
this
community
and
being
that
positive
endeavor
as
a
lifelong
boston.
President.
G
It
was
critical
for
me
to
find
a
business
that
can
appreciate
everything
that
everything
the
building
the
initial
parts
of
of
this,
as
well
as
make
sure
to
honor
the
commitments
that
we
made
to
the
community
and
we're
incredibly
fortunate
to
have
found
partner
and
jimmy
and
his
team,
and
I'm
really
happy
to
say
that
this
change
is
beneficial
interest.
That,
if
approved
50
percent
minority
stake
to
76,
my
new
partner
will
bring
the
operational
experience.
That's
going
to
be
necessary
to
successful
business.
G
G
H
G

A
A
You're
welcome.
We
will

equity

Our

J
A
K
All
right
can
everybody
see
my
screen.
Yes
awesome.
Good
morning,
everyone
good
afternoon,
everybody,
my
name
is
jeff
similian,
ceo
of
loki
dispensary,
I'm
a
boston
resident,
as
previously
mentioned.
We
currently
got
one
due
to
time,
so
I'm
actually
going
to
try
to
speed
this
up
a
little
bit.
We
currently,
we
recently
got
one
store
approved
in
dorchester.
We
are
currently
in
the
process
of
getting
under
construction.
Currently
and
rob
is
the
general
contractor
as
well
business
partner
as
well
he's
running
the
operation
and
construction
as
well.
K
Currently,
as
I
mentioned,
we
have
our
chief
of
security
on
the
call
our
cfo
felix
legal
counselor.
I
believe
our
compliance
officer
is
also
on
the
call
as
well.
We
are
working
with
verity
to
make
to
ensure
that
we
are
employing
current
residents
from
the
city
of
boston
and
also
from
the
community
of
covent
square
as
employees,
and
we
also
have
our
general
manager
and
matt
dever
on
the
call
as
well.
That's
who
pretty
much
our
team
consists
of.
K
We
are
again,
as
I
mentioned,
we
are
a
recreational
brand
in
boston,
primarily
focused
on
boston,
and
we
currently,
as
I
mentioned,
have
a
store.
That's
under
construction
in
in
the
dorchester
in
the
community
that
rob-
and
I
grew
up
in
our
mission
again-
is
to
just
really
focus
on
bringing
a
change
to
this
community.
K
Boston
dorchester
is
a
community
that
we
grew
up.
In
reason
I
got
into
this.
Industry
is
because
in
2016
from
what
I've
learned
as
far
as
cannabis,
in
cannabis,
industry
being
such
a
profitable
and
lucrative
business,
I
figure.
This
is
something
that,
with
the
work
that
rob
and
I
are
doing
as
commercial
as
real
estate
brokers
in
the
community.
This
is
something
that
we
could
continue
to
do
to
utilize,
that
vehicle
to
utilize
the
cannabis
industries
as
a
vehicle
to
continue
to
employ
people.
K
M
Good
afternoon,
madam
chairwoman
and
members
of
the
board,
thank
you
for
having
us
on
today.
I'm
robert
nichols
jeff's
co-founder
and
ceo
of
low-key
dispensary
and,
as
jeff
had
mentioned,
you
know
with
local
guys,
born
and
raised
in
the
city,
and
I
really
want
to
do
what
we
say
and
say
we
do
so.
With
that
said,
our
positive
community
impact
plan
starts
first
and
foremost
with
ensuring
we
hire
locally.
You
know
we're
going
to
hire
as
many
local
residents
as
possible.
M
I
think
you
know
we're
committed
to
75
or
more,
but
we're
hoping
to
get
as
many
folks
as
we
can
other
than
folks
who
kind
of
have
a
special
experience
specific
to
the
cannabis
industry.
We're
going
to
use
local
contractors,
I'm
a
local
contractor
myself,
so
my
team
and
I
will
be
able
to
handle
the
build
out
of
the
space
there's.
M
Obviously,
the
three
percent
community
impact
fee
is
a
mandate,
but
we're
committed
to
going
above
and
beyond
that
by
providing
a
250
000
commitment
over
the
course
of
five
years
to
local
civic
groups,
so
that
that
money
can
be
utilized
where
it's
needed
most.
So
we're
gonna
set
up
a
small
community
board
with
local
members
and
they'll
decide
how
those
funds
are
dispersed
on
an
annual
basis.
M
You
know
we'll
also
really
be
looking
to
help
our
team
members
grow
and
develop
and
build
wealth,
so
we're
going
to
be
providing
real
estate
courses
and
classes
and
also
providing
first
time
home
buyer
classes
and
even
down
payment
assistance
if
they
go
through
the
program
and
then
you
know.
Lastly,
jeff
does
a
lot
with
kings
and
most
kings.
It's
a
non-profit
group
men's
group
that
he
runs
that
really
provides
mentorship
and
business
development
opportunities
for
folks
to
come
together,
weekly
and
that's
solely
for
free.
M
And
then
hours
and
safety,
I
know
we're
going
to
get
more
into
this,
but
just
based
on
our
first
hca
we've
requested.
You
know
10
am
to
9
pm,
obviously
that
those
times
are
flexible.
You
know
we're
going
to
optimize
that
so
that
we're
not
disturbing
the
community
and
being
open
in
hours
really
we're
not
getting.
You
know
many
customers
coming
in
so
that's
kind
of
a
moving
target,
but
this
proposal
is
just
kind
of
based
on
and
what
we
were
able
to
get
for
our
first
location.
M
L
Yeah
so
hello,
everyone,
my
name
is
mark
conrad,
I
own
a
security
firm,
that's
been
in
operation
and
is
been
operating
in
the
city
of
boston
for
22
years
now
yeah.
So
we
have
a
couple
of
dispensaries
that
are
actually
operating
right
now,
so
this
process
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
everybody
is
checked,
verified
in
terms
of
their
ids,
make
sure
that
the
community
and
the
business
understand
the
accountability
of
that.
L
Obviously
I
just
spoke
about
that,
but
you
know
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
all
of
our
people
are
uniformed
and,
of
course,
identifiable.
We
have
still
safety
protocols
that
will
be
put
in
place.
We
do
a
multi-layer
training
process
not
only
for
our
security
staff,
but
we
have
todd
mcgee
that
comes
in
he's
a
retired
state
trooper,
but
todd
is
not
only
known
as
a
retired
state
trooper,
but
todd
trains
regionally
locally
and
also
internationally.
L
So
what
we
do
is
a
two-prime
approach
in
terms
of
when
we
hire
our
security
staff.
We
make
sure
that
we
also
integrate
that
with
the
staff
as
well,
but
these
are
some
of
the
things
making
sure
that
we
also
make
sure
that
we
pay
attention
to
nuisance
things
that
are
actually
happening
in
the
community
and
so
forth.
That's
around
this
particular
area
and
keeping
the
sidewalk
as
clear
as
possible
as
we
can.
Our
authority
obviously
is
to
the
building
itself
in
the
parking
lot
and
we're
going
to
do
our
best.
B
B
L
Yeah,
so
I
think
the
the
sentiment
from
the
community
group
that
there's
a
park
that's
across
across
the
street.
As
I
had
a
conversation
with
a
couple
of
people,
I
tried
to
explain
to
them
as
best
as
I
possibly
could
one
trying
to
find
out,
and
we
we've
done
some
research
in
terms
of
finding
out.
Is
there
people
going
in
the
park
and
it's
creating
a
nuisance
in
terms
of
people
actually
going
in
the
park
and
smoking
marijuana?
L
Is
that
a
place
that's
hanging
out
two
in
terms
of
our
authority,
I'm
certified
through
the
state
police.
My
license
is
a
detective
watch
license.
We
don't
have
authority
to
control
the
park
itself,
but
we
want
to
work
with
the
community
in
terms
of
any
issues
or
concerns
that
they
may
have
in
terms
of
nuisance.
Calls
now
assault
calls
or
something
that's
actually
happening.
L
You
know
smoking
on
the
property
or
doing
that,
but
just
to
be
you
know
careful
in
terms
of
you
know
going
across
the
street
in
terms
of
that
park.
I
think
from
what
I
I
took
from
the
community
meeting,
and
this
is
just
what
I've
I
received
is
that
when
I
spoke
to
people
in
the
community
they
they
want
kind
of
like
a
detailed
plan
of
what
we're
going
to
do
to
work
in
the
park.
L
And
you
know,
quite
honestly,
low-key
really
doesn't
have
the
authority
to
work
inside
that
park.
We
can.
We
can
suggest
to
the
clients,
obviously
that
come
through
the
door
to
make
sure
that
there
is
any
issues
we
can
work
with
the
police.
If
there's
any
issues,
if
we
see
anybody,
that's
hanging
out,
if
there's
an
assault
that
takes
place
or
some
criminal
activity,
absolutely
we
will
do
our
best
to
make
sure
we
notify
the
police,
but
we
don't
have
the
authority
to
actually
go
in
and
actually
patrol
the
park.
That's
across
the
street.
O
And
and
mrs
joyce,
if
I
just
this-
is
kyle
smith
council
for
the
applicants
just
to
follow
up.
Basically
on
a
little
bit
of
what
mark
said,
but
only
as
of
yesterday,
we
have
active
communication
with
an
officer
roche
of
the
e5
department
for
the
police.
So
they
are
very,
you
know
proactively
trying
to
have
open
lines
of
communication
with
the
you
know,
relevant
policing
authority.
L
Yeah-
and
I
I
just
want
to
add
just
before
chairwoman-
you
know
myself
and
my
business
partner.
We
have-
and
you
know
the
people
that
are
on
myself.
We
have
120
years
of
police
experience.
My
my
business
partner
is
a
retired
state.
Trooper
35
years
worked
in
that
specific
area
for
over
20
years,
we
have
wonderful
relationships
with
the
police
department.
So
that's
not
that's
not
going
to
be
the
issue.
I
just.
L
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
approach
this
as
somebody
that's
going
into
the
community
that
we're
good
community
citizens
and
that
you
know
this
is
something
that
you
know
I
obviously
teach
at
in
terms
of
and
criminal
justice
and
so
forth.
It
takes
a
community
in
terms
of
understanding
a
whole
host
of
these
issues
when
it
comes
to
things
that
are
coming,
we're
not
going
our
our
hope
is
that
we're
going
to
add
an
added
value,
a
positive
added
value
and
kind
of
take
the
stigma
off
of
people.
L
I
understand
that,
but
that's
that's
not
what
I
see
I
don't
you
know
from
the
dispensaries
that-
and
this
is
we're
getting
ready
to
open
up
our
fourth
dispensary
next
month.
You
know
in
terms
of
partnerships
with
other
businesses
and
so
forth.
We
haven't
seen
any
sort
of
migration
of
of
an
access
of
people
coming
through
and
and
going
to
an
open
park.
P
B
A
D
E
K
Not
necessarily
the
reparations,
no,
we
have
a
contribution
to
to
help
our
employees
being
that
we
are
real
estate,
real
real
estate
owners
and-
and
you
know,
brokers,
we,
you
know,
we
think
we
think
that
is
very
important.
You
know
for
for
the
community,
for
for
everybody
to
own
real
estate,
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
do
for
a
community
for
our
employees.
K
K
Oh
yes,
we
are
also
working
with
mass
cultivator
to
create
to
create
a
a
fun
because
they
they
are
also
working
with
individuals
who
are
basically
coming
back
from
being
incarcerated
into
the
job
force.
So
we
are
working
plan
on
working
with
them
to
create
a
fund
to
help
their
program
and
continue
getting
people
back
into
the
workforce.
D
Okay-
and
you
said
that
you're
starting
to
pay
across
the
board
is
18
an
hour,
correct,
okay
and
one
last
question
on
the
real
estate
one-on-one
mentorship,
you're,
thinking
that
your
employees
will
be
interested
in
doing
some
sort
of
real
estate
course.
It's
part
of
part
and
package
of
hiring
them
wasn't
it.
M
It's
specifically
to
helping
them
become
first-time
home
buyers,
especially
folks.
You
know
as
we're
employing
them.
We
also
want
to
encourage
them
to
build
wealth
and
really
invest
in
ourselves
through
the
acquisition
of
real
estate.
It's
a
skill
that
jeff
and
I
have
so
it's
something
that
we
definitely
wanted
to
impart
on
our
team,
and
you
know
provide
that
guidance,
because
it's
not
an
easy
process.
K
M
Correct-
and
I
think
that's
a
big
part
of
this
counselor
smith-
I
mean,
I
think,
we've
got
to
make
sure
you
know
we're
committing
to
local.
Obviously
we're
going
to
be
hiring
folks
of
color
as
well,
but
you
know
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
by
them
supporting
us.
We
want
to
support
them
as
best
we
can.
O
Thank
you,
and
just
to
briefly
chime
in,
but
you
know,
hiring
locally
also,
hopefully
reduces
the
amount
of
people
commuting.
They
can
find
alternative
means
of
transportation
other
than
driving,
so
that
you
know
helps
to
reduce
traffic
flow,
which
is
you
know,
a
critical
thing
usually
for
these
types
of
facilities.
Also.
O
I
have
not
really
spoken
too
much
with
rob
and
jeff
about
this,
but
if
it
comes
to
general
education
to
their
employees
for
real
estate,
I
do
help
people
buy
and
sell
residential
real
estate,
and
I
teach
both
the
class
to
get
agents
licensed.
I
teach
a
lot
of
first-time
homebuyer
classes
at
a
lot
of
local
cdc's
in
indie
cities,
so
just
very
happy
to
impart
anything
that
I
can
have
for
advice
to
their
staff
to
help
further
that
mission
of
theirs.
So.
L
Q
M
Q
Oh
under
construction,
so
it's
not
an
operation,
no,
I
see
and
then
on
the
20
to
30
full-time
part-time.
What's
the
breakdown
that
you're
thinking?
The
reason
why
I
ask
is
many:
employers
have
used
part-time
as
a
way
to
not
provide
benefits
for
folks,
so
I'm
just
wondering
what
your
full-time
part-time
breakdown
is.
M
R
R
Really
great
employee,
really
great
asset,
but
you
know
maybe
they
have
some
kind
of
medical
condition
where
they
can't
work.
Full-Time
we
might
be,
might
be
able
to
assist
them
in
getting
them
at
least
some
some
payment
on
the
books,
but
we
definitely
prefer
full-time
employees
and
a
majority
of
those
would
be
full-time.
Q
S
M
Oh
okay
also
lombos.
Excuse
me,
commissioner:
lombos
we
went
with
viridi
early
on
because
they
were
the
first
cannabis
specific
staffing
agency
that
we
were
able
to
identify
and
we
met
with
them,
and
you
know
they've
done
a
great
job,
helping
us
find
some
employees.
They
are
not
a
vendor
of
color,
but
they
do
ex.
They
do
have
an
expertise
in
sourcing
cannabis,
talent,
which
is
a
skill,
and
you
know
jeff
and
I
are
not
cannabis-
operators
we're
real
estate.
M
First,
you
know
cannabis
is
something
we're
kind
of
getting
into
so
we
had
two
options:
it
was
one
you
know
we
could
try
to
run
it
ourselves
and
keep
it.
You
know
we're
we're
the
owners
and
we're
doing
this
or
two.
We
could,
you
know,
get
the
license
and
bring
in
an
outside
operator
to
run
it.
So
we
opted
for
option
one,
and
in
doing
so
we
had
to
find
a
team
that
could
help
us
source
the
best
talent
to
give
the
business
a
chance.
This
has
been
a
very,
very
difficult
process.
M
It's
not
a
easy
business
to
run,
and
so
from
that
lens,
I've
already's
been
great
with
helping
us
source
some
great
talent,
but
yeah
they'll
be
helping
us
with
our
job
fairs.
They
help
us
identify,
matt
and
sam
who
both
have
cannabis
experience
and
not
they're
on
the
call
as
well.
If
brett,
you
want
to
speak
to
what
you
guys
do.
S
S
I've
worked
with
about
50
accounts
in
the
state,
a
lot
start
with
retail
some
cultivation
and
start
with
some
of
the
first
social
equity
applicants
in
exceeding
those
goals,
including
western
front
trade
routes,
joint
operations.
So
we're
always
looking
to
help
where
we
can
and
it's
been
a
pleasure
working
with
the
team
at
lowkey.
Q
M
Q
T
Jeff
and
team
have
also
met
with
many
civic
groups
since
then,
including
the
west
roxbury
civic
improvement
association,
which
oversees
the
washington
street
corridor
in
west
roxbury.
They
received
a
full
letter
of
support
from
the
west
roxbury
civic
improvement
association
and
on
april
19th
at
the
west
roxbury
neighborhood
council,
the
council
voted
5-1
in
support
of
the
project
as
well.
We
have
received
both
letters
of
support
and
opposition
for
the
proposal
and
at
this
time
we
defer
decision
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
A
V
V
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
for
the
time,
and
thank
you
all
on
the
call
for
hearing
me
out
really
quick.
I
just
wanted
to
speak
on
behalf
of
little
key
and
the
great
work
that
jeff
robbed
mark
and
the
whole
team
have
done
just
being
on
the
back
and
I'm
also
an
investor,
I'm
just
seeing
how
they've
gone
through
the
first
process
with
the
dorchester
location.
It's
a
very,
very
hard
process.
Difficult
they've
had
to
commit
so
much
to
the
community
and
they've
done
that
with
flying
colors.
V
I'm
a
member
of
the
king
of
most
kings
community
as
well
and
just
seeing
jeff
also
create
that
from
scratch
to
give
back
to
the
community,
I've
learned
through
real
estate
from
him
and
rob
from
the
fix
and
flips
that
they've
done
to
give
back
to
the
community.
These
are
very
high
value.
Ceos
and
western
rock
spray
would
be
a
great
community
for
them.
You
know,
they'll,
add
more
value.
The
low
key
team
will
I
mean
even
giving
me
somebody.
V
You
know
and
being
an
african-american
there's,
not
really
it's
not
really
many
investment
opportunities
in
businesses
like
this,
so
all
they've
done
is
give
back
to
the
communities
and
give
back
to
everything
that
they've
done,
for
you
know
for
the
business
and
for
everybody.
So
I'm
just
wanting
to
speak
really
highly
of
them.
They're
great
people
and
low-key
would
be
a
great
addition
to
the
west
raspberry
community,
and
you
know
you
can
bet
on.
W
Hello
good
afternoon,
everyone,
my
name,
is
mario
perez,
I'm
a
west
roxbury
resident.
I
actually
live
right
between
where
this
location
would
be
and
the
park
that
we've
been
talking
about-
and
I
could
just
you
know,
speak
to
the
fact
that
I
have
seen
representatives
from
loki
out
in
the
neighborhood
knocking
doors
handing
out
leaflets
doing
their
due
diligence,
sending
out
emails
participating
in
the
community
meeting.
W
That
was
just
mentioned
a
couple
of
minutes
ago
and
they've
been
organized
all
throughout
that
and
answering
questions,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
you
know,
step
in
today
just
to
voice
my
support
for
them
and
and
yeah.
You
know,
I
think
all
the
concerns
that
have
been
raised
in
the
past
have
been
answered
pretty
thoroughly
in
previous
meetings
as
well,
and
so
just
thank
you
for
the
space
and-
and
I
wish
loki
the
the
best
of
wishes
with
with
the
rest
of
the
process.
X
How
you
doing
today,
great
great,
I
just
want
to
say
you
know,
I
support
these
two.
I
support
the
business
and
these
two
guys
they're
phenomenal
people.
I'm
I'm
excited
about
the
employment
opportunity.
You
know
a
lot
of
employers,
the
retirement
fund.
You
got
health
benefits,
but
with
these
with
this
company,
you
get
wealth
benefits
and
I
think,
that's
extremely
important
once
they
have
everything
all
the
box
check.
I
think
this
is
a
business
model
that
I
think
a
lot
of
companies
are
going
to
follow.
I'm
from
dorchester
I
live.
X
I
live
in
dorchester
and
I
run
a
real
estate
brokerage.
So
you
some
will
say
rob
is
my
competition,
but
I'm
here
today
to
speak
on
on
on
my
company's
behalf
and
the
city
behalf.
I
think
this
is
a
great
model
once
they
check
all
the
boxes.
I
think
this
is
a
great
model
that
we
all
should
follow:
health
retirement
and
wealth
building,
and
they
they
got
it
all
in
one.
So
I'm
excited
honestly.
This
is
this
is
a
great
idea
and
I
I
take
my
hat
off
to
loki.
Y
P
Hello
guys,
I
just
wanted
to
call
in
and
get
my
support
and
let
me
say
hello
to
all
the
commissioners,
hello,
everyone.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
support
jeff
and
rob.
I
see
all
the
work
that
they
do.
I
also
am
a
member
of
kings
amongst
kings.
I
go
to
the
meetings
and
I
get
a
lot
of
value
out
of
a
lot
of
the
things
that
they
put
together.
Z
Hello,
my
name
is
david
scouten.
I
am
a
investor
and
marketing
advisor
with
low
key
dispensary.
I
currently
live
in
everett.
I'm
extremely
excited
about
the
opportunity
at
hand
in
terms
of
the
job
creation
and
wealth
building
for
its
employees,
I'm
originally
from
brooklyn
new
york
and
since
I've
landed
in
boston,
I've
worked
for
several
fortune,
500
companies
and
none
of
them
have
had
the
intuition
to
build
its
employees
in
terms
of
wealth
building
and
giving
them
the
keys
to
buy
real
estate
and
manage
real
estate
and
things
of
that
nature.
Z
Z
So
I
I
think
west
roxbury
is
going
to
have
a
valuable
resource
on
their
hands
with
a
ceo
and
a
ceo
that
are
bringing
such
a
wealth
of
knowledge
in
the
real
estate
space
and
on
the
cannabis
side,
I
think
the
cannabis
industry
is
growing
rapidly.
This
is
going
to
empower
the
west
roxbury
residents
to
be
a
part
of
a
growing
industry
that
hopefully
one
day
is
federally
legal.
So
it's
going
to
be
able
to
take
the
west
roxbury
of
residence
to
the
world
and
be
competitive
in
one
of
the
fastest
growing
industries
in
america.
A
AA
Do
I
have
it
did
I
do
it
good
afternoon,
everyone
good
afternoon,
commissioners
and
and
everyone
on
the
call.
Thank
you
for
the
floor.
I
think
I
commend
everything
that
loki
is
doing.
I'm
celia
williams,
I'm
the
manager
of
equity
and
strategic
partnerships
here
at
the
cannabis
control
commission.
I
have
a
variety
of
different
initiatives
that
I
feel
are
super
important,
especially
when
businesses
are
starting
up.
I
think
with
regard
I
did
have
a
question.
M
M
M
Yeah,
so
mass
cultivated
their
whole
initiative
is
predicated
on
them.
Finding
folks
who
have
felony
convictions
who
want
to
get
into
this
cannabis
industry
to
kind
of
help
them
get
the
skills,
get
the
training
and
put
them
in
the
program
that
positions
them
so
that
when
they
come
to
us,
they've
kind
of
got
a
leg
up
on
your
average
person
coming
to
work
with
us,
because
they've
got
that
training,
and
so
now
you
know
we
kind
of
just
jump
jump
right
into
getting
them
down
to
business.
M
They
can
go
in
and
work
and
you
know
work
on
the
plant
touching
tasks.
You
know
in
the
cultivation
facilities
we're
working
on
and
the
same
goes
in.
The
dispensary
they'll
have
a
stronger
knowledge
base
than
the
average
person
coming
to
us
off
the
street.
So
we
really
think
project
ships
like
this
are
going
to
help
us
continue
to
push
the
initiatives
we've
already
been
engaging
in.
Since
you
know,
we've
been
working
in
the
real
estate
space,
so
I'm
going
to
bring
it
right
to
cannabis.
AA
B
B
AA
M
So
we
do
a
lot
of
advertising
on
social
media
flyers
in
the
neighborhood
local
community,
centers
working
with
civic
groups
for
folks
who
send
us
people
we're
from
boston,
so
people,
you
know
they
know
us
they're,
calling
hey,
I'm
looking
for
a
job,
I
mean
jeff
and
I
recently
interviewed
one
of
my
cousins
how
to
kind
of
help
help
us
out.
You
know
with
some
things,
and
so
you
know
just
word
of
mouth
and
through
firing
and
advertising
in
addition
to
viridity's
efforts,
we're
going
to
be
able
to
get
the
word
out
there
to
folks.
K
AB
So
I
guess
this
is
a
perfect
time
to
introduce
myself.
My
name
is
tim,
dill
and
formerly
incarcerated
of
19
and
a
half
years
and
was
blessed
with
the
opportunity
to
work
with
rob
nichols
here
at
boston,
realty
funding
since
last
august
and
worked
with
jeff
representing
private,
linda
and
helping
just
kind
of
educate
individuals
about
fixing
flips
going
through
that
whole
process.
AB
AB
O
And
this
is
kyle
smith
council
for
the
applicant
again.
I
just
want
to
note
that
the
applicants
do
have
another
matter
before
you
today.
So
I
think
that,
even
though
we
are
taking
up
a
lot
of
your
time,
this
testimony
will
continue
to
be
relevant
for
them
in
their
in
their
next
matter
and
hopefully
that
can
be
much
more
succinct
and
truncated.
So
just
appreciate
you
lending
the
time
to
other
people
to
testify.
A
A
The
next
matter
we
have
is
cannabis:
hailing
llc,
cannabis,
hail
and
dba.
The
proposed
license
premise
is
for
neptune
road
east
boston.
This
is
a
recreational
cannabis
dispensary
license.
The
proposed
hours
are
10
a.m
to
10
p.m.
Seven
days
a
week
this
is
a
non-equity
applicant.
The
initial
application
was
found
march,
29
2021,
the
instructional
services
filing
was
april,
16
2021
and
the
community
meeting
was
april.
6
2022.,
who
was
president
on
behalf
of
the
licensee.
A
A
The
next
matter
is
low-key
cultivation.
Llc,
the
proposed
license:
premise
is
48
to
54
walter
street
high
park.
This
is
a
cultivation
license.
The
proposed
hours
are
8
00
a.m
to
9
00
p.m.
Seven
days
a
week
this
is
the
equity
applicant.
The
initial
application
was
filed
january
13
2022
with
inspectional
services.
It
was
found
november,
19,
2021
and
the
community
meeting
was
held
april,
28
2022..
I
I
A
K
Yes,
so
here
we
are
once
again
low
key
cultivation
which
is
owned
by
me
and
rob
as
mentioned
again.
Our
goal
is
to
be
a
sustainable
brand
in
boston
to
not
only
you
know,
provide
opportunities
in
cannabis,
but
also
be
vertically
integrated
and
to
provide
opportunities
on
the
retail
side
and
also
on
the
cultivation
side
as
well.
Pretty
much
have
the
same
team,
as
I
mentioned,
who
we
are
what
we,
our
intentions,
are
I'll
just
jump
right
into
the
property
which
is
located
at
54,
walter
street
and
hyde
park.
K
We
are,
we
are
strictly
applying
for
a
retail,
I'm
sorry,
a
cultivation
site
and
our
goal
is
to
cultivate
their
package
it
and
wholesale
to
ourselves
and
other
and
other
retail
stores
again.
So
we
are
currently
applying
for
you
know
for
licensing
here.
The
building
meets
all
the
criteria.
There
is
no
school
or
churches
and
and
within
a
mile.
So
this
is
currently
the
floor
plan.
The
building
is
24.
K
K
M
Thank
you
jeff
and
hello.
Again,
I'm
adam
chairman
members
of
the
board
so
similar
to
the
low
key
to
location,
we're
looking
to
create
a
community
board
specific
to
high
park.
You
know,
we've
had
a
lot
of
interaction
with
them.
We
recently
participated
in
an
aponza
river
cleanup
on
a
saturday
just
to
really
show
our
commitment
to
the
community
and
and
help
them
out.
M
So
we
had
five
members
from
low
key
six
members
from
lowkey
that
came
out
who
several
are
on
the
call
david
matt
and
a
few
of
the
team
here
and
jeff
and
myself
went
out
there.
But
in
addition
to
that,
we
are
going
to
set
up
a
community
board
and
are
we
committed
to
also
providing
250
000
over
a
five-year
period
again
that
money
will
be
directed
by
the
community
members
on
an
annualized
basis?
L
Yeah,
just
just
you
know,
I
think
the
most
important
thing
that
we
can
extrapolate
from
this.
This
is
different
than
a
retail
store.
Where
you
know
you
have
customers
coming
in
and
out
virtually
it's
employees
that
are.
Are
there
working
and
you
know
more
importantly,
you
know
this
is
within
a
community
area
where
there's
people
that
are
living
going
to
sleep
at
night
and
everything
else.
L
So
we're
going
to
be
very
specific
about
you
know
who
what
what
kind
of
terms
of
traffic
hours
and
so
forth,
but
in
terms
of
our
security,
it's
it's
it's
it's
interior
of
making
sure
that
that's
this
place
is
secure,
24
hours
a
day
and
and
making
sure
that
there
is
no
disruption
of
people
coming.
You
know
in
terms
of
the
traffic
in
terms
of
deliveries
and
stuff,
like
that,
for
the
most
part.
M
Yeah
one
of
the
things
to
support
what
mark
is
stating
when
we
had
our
one
of
our
community
meetings.
They
had
mentioned
that
there
was
a
shooting
and
there's
a
lot
of
illicit
activity.
They
believe
is
taking
place
in
the
evenings
at
this
location,
and
you
know
they
were
happy
to
know
that
we're
coming
in
you
know
it's
gonna
be
well
lit.
M
There
will
be
security
on
site,
so
you
know
they
were
very
supportive
in
the
sense
that
they
felt
that
us
being
there
would
help
curtail
and
eliminate
a
lot
of
what's
happening
when
the
sun
goes
down
in
in
this
area,
just
because
it's
kind
of
off
the
beaten
path
back
there.
So
you
know,
I
think
you
know
what
marx
is
speaking
to
there.
On
the
security
front,
the
community
was
appreciative
and
they
agree
that
it's
better
to
have
us
there
versus
kind
of
leaving
it.
You
know
as
it
stands.
L
Yeah-
and
I
would
just
add
that
you
know
the
high
visibility
of
some-
you
know
the
police
department,
understanding
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
cultivation
center.
That's
going
to
be
there
us
working
with
the
police
department
and
the
community
and
so
forth,
and
understanding
that
we
don't
want
to
disrupt
anybody's
lives
that
that's
living
in
this
community.
O
And
this
is
kyle
smith
counsel
for
the
applicant
just
a
brief
note,
as
it
relates
to
parking
and
transportation,
and
otherwise
we
are
in
you
know,
for
anybody
that
knows
the
site.
We
are
in
very,
very
close:
proximity
to
the
fair
amount
training
station
to
hopefully
facilitate
people
taking
public
transit
to
and
from
work
just
want
to
make
that.
As
a
brief
note,.
K
Well,
so
some
of
those
things
that
you
know
the
frequently
asked
questions
that
I
wanted
to
cover.
I
know
some.
Some
of
those
questions
has
been
quickly
covered.
As
far
as
you
know,
we
have
cameras.
I
have
black
lab
alarm
on
the
call
as
well,
so
they
recently
provided
us
this.
You
know
camera
plane,
so
I
just
want
to
be
able
to
show
you
guys
this
camera
plan.
K
I
don't
know
if
todd
is
on
a
call,
if
you
want
to
say
something
on
this,
but
so
these
are
the
cameras,
that's
going
to
be
in
the
facility
to
ensure
that
every
single
corner
of
the
facility
is
covered
per
ccc
sop
large.
So
all
these
little
yellow
spots
here
are
all
the
you
know:
security
cameras,
that's
going
to
be
inside
a
facility
and
we're
going
to
keep
track
of.
N
Yes,
I'm
on
the
call
jeff
and
madam
chair
commissioners,
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'm
more
than
happy
to
provide
answers.
I've
done
a
number
of
facilities
both
on
the
recreational
side
and
growth
facilities,
and
this
is
full
in
full
compliance
with
the
guidelines
under
the
cmr
935
and
the
requirements.
K
Yeah,
we
also,
you
know,
frequently
asked
questions
as
far
as
water
usage
electric
usage.
Again,
you
know
we
talked
about
you
know
about
recapturing
rainwater,
that's
something
you
know
possibility
of
things
that
we
want
to
do.
You
know
solar
systems.
We
talked
about
those
things
as
well,
but
ideally
our
plan.
Currently
is
we
talking
to
a
company
named
agrify
to
to
build
our
system
with
basically
hydroponics
our
head
cultivators
on
the
call
as
well?
K
K
B
I
have
one
question
in
the
board
memo:
it
states
that
you're
going
to
have
60
to
80
full-time
employees.
So
can
you
break
down
for
me
like
roughly,
I
don't
need
exact
numbers,
but
during
like
regular
business
hours,
how
many
people
are
working
there
at
a
time
like
how
many
compared
to
how
many
people
work
like
overnight.
I'm
just
curious
the
impact
of
the
neighborhood.
AC
As
a
head
cultivator,
I
have
something
to
say
on
that
one
as
far
as
employees
that's
needed
in
the
building
as
far
as
doing
the
daytime
hours,
it
depends
on
the
season.
So,
if
we're
harvesting,
where
we
need
large
amounts
of
people
during
those
daytime
hours,
we
will
probably
have
maybe
20
to
30
people
at
a
time,
but
during
the
regular
season.
As
far
as
the
flowering
and
all
that
the
most,
I
would
say
it
would
be,
15
is
a
minimum,
I
would
say,
20
tops
depending
on.
K
And
that
will
only
that
that
will
only
survive.
You
know
for
the
for
his
cultivation
team.
Then
again
we
also
need
management,
you
know
vendors
and
and
other
staffing
that
would
be
on
the
facility.
So
that's
just
basically
the
touch
the
touch
point.
The
plant
touching
position
that
he's
referring
to.
B
B
B
F
Yeah,
just
one-
I
am
kind
of
familiar
with
that
that
area,
so
I
know
that
building
will
your
vans?
Are
you
going
to
make
a
garage?
Are
your
vans
going
to
be
stored
inside
that
area,
or
are
you
going
to
leave
them
out
in
like
the
parking
lot
area?
How
are
you
going
to
do
your
your
vans
or
your
trucks.
F
But
I
mean:
do
you?
Is
there
a
way
you
can
like
make
an
indoor
garage?
As
I
know
you
have
a
gate,
but
are
you
taking
up
that
whole
warehouse?
Yes,
I
guess
I
should.
I
don't
even
know
what
it
takes
to
do.
A
cultivation
so
maybe
that's
face,
but
I
was
wondering
if
there
was
just
space
to
like.
Maybe
when
you're
delivering
you
can
back.
You
know
you
back
the
trucks
in
like
a
sally
port
or
something.
AC
I
would
assume
that
you're
asking
to
not
be
seen
doing
any
transportation
moving
out
of
their
buildings
into
the
vans.
So
if
that's
a
concern,
the
way
that
they
have
the
dock
as
I've
seen
is
that
they
have
a
loading
dock.
So
if
the
van
is
able
to
back
up
like
any
other
loaded
van,
it
should
be
able
to
just
seal
off
where
people
on
the
inside
should
be
loaded
right
into
the
truck.
D
Thanks
jasmine,
I
want
to
go
back
to
the
environmental
impacts
so
from
what
I've
read
you
know
the
disposal
of
cannabis
and
stuff
like
that,
creates
just
a
huge
environmental
impact.
So
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
what
are
your
plans
around
disposal
of
waste
and
how
are
you
planning
to
protect
the
environment
around
there?
D
AC
As
far
as
the
plans
of
stuff
what
I
envision,
I
mean,
I
feel
like
there's
a
lot
of
technologies
that
we're
able
to
use
to
utilize
and
we're
still
reviewing
a
lot
of
stuff
that
we
can
go
about
doing.
But
the
traditional
way
it's
like
jeff
mentioned
is
we
can
catch
rain
water
to
try
to
save
money
on
the
water.
AC
As
far
as
the
energy
goes,
we
would
like
to
be
invested
into
solar
panels,
because
I
feel
like
it's
going
to
help
as
far
as
with
our
electrical
bill,
but
overall,
it's
not
consuming
as
much
electricity
as
far
as
the
waste
goes,
because
of
the
way
that
these
systems
are
designed.
It's
not
that
much
waste
that's
being
used
depending
on
how
we're
growing
now,
for
we
was
growing
as
far
as
straight
out
of
the
soil.
AC
There
would
be
more
waste,
that's
being
used
being
that
we're
using
a
certain
type
of
system
that
uses
rockwell
we're
really
just
having
more
leaf
left
over.
My
plan,
I
feel
like
I
want
to
use,
is
enzymes,
if
you're
familiar
with
them.
So
if
we're
able
to
have
an
area
that
we
can
have
on
our
facility
area
where
it's
organically
eating
itself,
it
takes
care
of
a
lot
of
our
waste
through
time.
AC
H
Okay
and
just
back
to
the
environment
on
packs-
and
I
think
you
know
in
like
with
commissioner
smith-
and
I
fully
understand
that
you're
still
in
the
hiring
process
retrofitting-
if
if
this
does
go
through
you'll,
be
there's
only
going
to
be
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
to
get
it
up
up
and
running.
I'd
love
to
see
some
kind
of
commitment
to
minimal
environmental
impact
you
know
and
and
whether
that
could
come
along
with
any
kind
of
goals
or
percentages.
H
I'm
not
I'm
not
sure
it's
not
an
expert
expertise
area
of
mind,
but
I
just
know
that
in
you
know
that
this
is
a
place
where
you
know
as
they
as
we
start
to
grow.
I
would
love
to,
as
we
start
to
have
more
of
these
cultivation
areas,
because
I
do
love
having
cultivation
within
the
city.
I
think
that's
a
it's
a
really
great
economic
impact,
particularly
for
our
equity
impact
equity
applicants.
H
Qualifications
and
in
the
work
that
they
did,
and
so
how
that
has
impacted
the
water
and
so
forth.
So
just
you
know
some
form
of
commitment
to
really
just
be
have
a
minimal
carbon
footprint
and
just
laying
how
laying
out
how
you
would
do
that.
I
think
it
would
be
important
and
something
to
revisit
when
you
know
once
you're
up
and
running,
and
you
come
and
to
renew
the
license
with
something
that
I
think
would
be
great
for
this
body
to
to
monitor.
H
But
I
do
I,
you
know
just
again
support
having
urban
farming
having
urban
cultivation
within
the
city.
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
in
terms
of
delivery,
so
the
idea
is
delivery
straight
to
your
stores,
other
stores
as
well,
and
I'm
assuming
there's
no
direct
deliver
you'd
have
to
apply
for
a
license
for
direct
delivery
to
consumers,
but
that's
not
a
that's,
not
a
plan
at
this
time.
Right.
U
H
K
H
I
have
a
silly
question
for
the
products:
do
you
within
them
within
the
manufacture,
so
you
grow
there.
Do
you
also
say
like
create
the
product,
so
it
can
be
delivered
right
to
the
retail
or
is
it
at
the
return
store
where
they're
like
if
they're
doing
like
I
don't
know
like
singles,
or
what
have
you
like?
Is
that
something
that
gets
done
at
the
at
the
facility,
or
is
that
something
that
gets
done
at
the
retail
shop.
K
M
And
to
answer
your
question
about
environmental
impact,
I
mean,
I
think,
the
the
key
to
this
solving
problems
like
this
is
looking
at
where
goals
are
aligned
and
I
believe
the
cost
of
doing
business
in
the
city
is
much
higher
than
doing
it
in
the
western
part
of
the
state,
and
this
is
something
jeff
and
I
talked
about,
but
we're
committed
to
the
city
of
boston.
We
want
to
have
a
positive
impact
here.
We
want
to
hire
locally
and
in
doing
that,
we
also
want
to
have
a
positive
impact
environmentally.
M
So
you
know
we
are
definitely
going
to
be
investing
in
solar
panels.
We've
all
been
talking
about.
You
know
harnessing
rain
water
and
looking
at
systems,
we
can
get
rain
water
to
really
offset
the
uses
of
water
and
then
obviously
we're
gonna
do
our
best
to
find
the
best
way
to
dispose
of
all
of
the
cannabis
with
the
lowest
environmental
impact,
as
barry
had
mentioned,
using
enzymes
and
things
of
that
nature.
So,
but
we
are
committed
to
that
and
it's
mutually
beneficial
for
us
to
commit
to
that.
Q
Yeah,
I
do
you
know
we
get
these
board
mem
memos
that
describe
your
application
and
I'm
sorry.
We
don't
always
have
time
to
read
all
of
the
applications,
but
the
memos
are
very
helpful
from
the
staff
and
it
it
you're
they're
two
different
businesses
today
and
it's
hard
not
to
compare
them
that
they're
very
similar
they're,
almost
the
same
application,
but
they're
two
different
businesses.
So
I
just
I
just
want
to
hear
more
about
what
you're
playing
like
these
are
two
very
different
workforces.
Q
M
Yeah,
so
I
mean,
I
think,
that
the
key
is
again.
Is
it's
mutually
beneficial
for
us
to
really
be
thorough
about
how
we
go
about
recruiting
folks
how
we
go
about
training
folks,
because
you
are
gonna-
require
skilled
labor
for
this.
So
I
am
a
licensed
contractor
as
well.
I've
been
working
in
the
construction
industry
for
over
ten
years,
and
so
I
I
think
this
is
more
similar
to
the
work
I've
done
in
that
space.
M
M
You
know
such
as
barry
who's
on
the
call
now
who
has
a
team
of
his
own,
who
was
an
experienced
cultivator
to
really
lead
the
charge
on
hiring
folks
that
he
know
can
get
the
job
done.
But
you
know
we,
it's
gonna,
take
different
approaches
and
you
know
it's
not
a
perfect
science.
It's
an
art,
you
know
and
we're
gonna
do
our
best
to
be
thorough
in
our
process
and
work
out
the
kinks
as
we
go
along,
but
it's
a
new
business
for
all
of
us.
Q
M
O
Lombos,
just
to
briefly,
you
know
chime
in
on.
As
far
as
the
workforce
is
concerned,
you
know
we
do
have
potentially
a
first
location
to
be
operational.
Come
this
calendar
year,
for
which
you
know
these
applicants,
not
wishing
that
they
aren't
successful,
but
clearly
there
obviously
is
growing
pains
and
they
can
learn
from
that
to
then
make
their
perspective
other
locations
more
successful.
O
Q
Q
You
know
to
show
that
there's
a
robust
employment
plan
that
includes
retention,
recruitment,
career
paths,
those
kinds
of
things
that
we
like
to
see
in
applications,
so
we
can
look
at
them
in
a
way.
You
know
these.
Are
this
part
of
the
things
that
we
look
at
when
we're
looking
at
applicants
again,
I
would
encourage
you
to
look
at
the
score
sheets,
so
you
understand
what
it
is
that
we're
looking
for.
L
L
A
majority
of
those
people
are
african-american
and
latino,
giving
these
people
opportunities
to
work.
So
if,
if
you
all
know,
if
you
look
at
any
major
high-rise
in
downtown
boston
or
or
in
in
a
lot
of
communities,
you'll
see
you
know
african
americans
and
latinos
that
are,
you
know,
kind
of
the
line
level
kind
of
employees,
those
people
that
are
security
officers,
but
the
people
that
are
actually
writing
the
check
myself.
My
business
partner
that
actually
own
a
company.
J
Yes,
phantom
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process.
Our
office
held
a
community
meeting
on
april
19th,
where
48
people
were
in
attendance.
J
As
you
heard
from
the
applicant,
a
big
topic
of
discussion
was
security
and
safety
concerns.
In
that
particular,
there
has
been
some
crime
and
some
other
instances
the
applicant
pledged
by
working
with
the
police
by
adding
more
security
measures
around
the
property.
It
would
increase
more
eyes
on
that
area
would
alleviate
a
lot
of
those
concerns
we
had
other
concerns
raised
regarding
just
congestion
in
the
area
and
some
environmental
concerns.
J
We
forwarded
letters
of
support
and
letters
of
opposition
to
the
board,
which
you
guys
should
have
on
file
the
applicant
received
over
150
signatures
from
business
owners
residents
and
community
leaders
in
that
area,
and
our
office
also
received
indications
of
support
from
state
rep
rob
gonsalvo

councilor
at
large
ruth

J
AD
AD
AE
AF
Thank
you
so
so
much
madam
chair,
as
well
as
this
august
body
of
board
members,
I'm
very
very
excited
to
support
jeff
as
well
as
rob
on
this
endeavor.
I
plan
on
buying
their
product
and
supporting
these
brothers.
I
think
it's
so
significant
that
they
are
building
a
vertically
integrated
company
and
what
does
that
mean
in
our
world?
AF
Most
of
the
companies
that
we
deal
with
that
are
owned
by
people
of
color
either
have
one
of
the
components
of
the
cannabis
industry
a
store,
possibly
a
manufacturing
or
a
a
cultivation.
What
they
are
attempting
to
do
is
amazing,
and
also
it's
new
for
people
of
color
in
the
state
of
massachusetts.
It
is
so
critical
that
we
support
this
type
of
growth
in
the
city.
AF
We
don't
have
many
cultivations
in
the
city
of
boston,
and
I
would
note
that
this
also
gives
people
what
I
like
to
refer
to
some
transferable
skills.
There
are
people
in
the
legacy
marketplace
who
have
built
skills
over
the
course
of
time
and
but
risk
their
freedom.
What
is
now
being
presented
is
an
opportunity
for
them
to
use
their
skill
sets
and
actually
do
well
for
themselves
as
well
as
their
family,
and
I
also
know
that
jeff
and
rob
have
commitments
to
helping
people
purchase
their
own
homes.
AF
That's
what
they're
doing
in
their
other
business.
I
would
assume
that
would
transfer
over
here,
and
so
I'm
just
emphatically
in
support
of
the
great
work
that
these
brothers
are
doing,
and
I
can't
wait
to
stock
their
products
on
my
shelf
down
at
150
state
street.
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
opportunity
and
brothers,
I'm
so
so
proud
of
you.
V
Hi
everybody
back
again,
commissioner.
Members
of
the
board
appreciate
you
all.
I
just
wanted
to
again
speak
on
behalf
of
loki
echoing
tino's
point
on
being
a
vertically
integrated
businesses.
I
don't
want
to
skip
over
how
major
that
is
for
the
city
and
especially
for
being
a
majority
minority
company.
This
is
a
black
owned
business
and
it's
just
an
honor
to
be
a
part
of
the
company
and
see
how
far
that
you
know
jeff
and
rob
have
come.
This
is
an
amazing
opportunity.
V
They've
already
dedicated,
you
know
their
resources
back
to
the
community,
and
this
is
no
different.
Jobs
are
coming
back
into
the
hyde
park
community
and
it's
just
an
amazing
opportunity.
You
know
I'm
so
proud
of
them
so
proud
for
the
opportunities
they
gave
me.
You
know
help
with
kingsman's
kings
and
just
be
a
supporter
of
low
key
and
just
seeing
how
far
they've
come
and
just
seeing
how
you
know
hard.
V
A
AG
AH
Good
afternoon,
thanks
for
you
guys
for
allowing
us
to
do
this
presentation,
we
believe
in
what
we're
doing,
and
we
really
appreciate
this
opportunity.
Sorry,
you
can't
actually
see
us
but
we're
gonna
move
forward.
Thank
you.
So
very
much
cannabis
healing
is
a
family
business
owned
by
mother,
wanda
jones
and
son
brian

ii.
AH
AH
Our
location
shall
be
at
four
neptune:
road,
east
boston,
mass
zero,
two
one,
two
eight.
We
signed
a
lease
for
ten
years,
paying
building
rent
each
month
since
april
2021
why
we
chose
this
location,
five
minutes
away
from
logan
airport,
four
minutes
away
from
woodland,
island
station,
meaning
zone
requirements
and
beautiful
scenery.
AG
Here's
just
a
picture
of
our
graphic
designs
by
sta
design.
Here's
we
have.
We
have
a
pickup
window
outside
which
I
will
get
into
further
further
on
in
the
conversation
to
discuss,
but,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
a
beautiful
colors.
We
have
white
purple
and
gold.
We
really
love
the
location,
we're
right
there
by
the
by
the
train
station.
We
really
believe
that
we're
going
to
be
an
asset
to
the
community
and
everything
that
we
that
we
want
to
provide.
AD
AG
AH
AH
AG
As
stated,
we
will
have
two
to
three
security
guards
with
overnight
watch
to
protect
our
establishment,
a
security
guard,
a
security
door
that
requires
clearance
for
customers
to
to
enter
our
greeter
will
scan
the
id
into
the
system.
Once
in
the
system,
they
will
be
buzzed
through
the
security
door
to
enter
our
dispensary.
AG
We
will
have
viewable
display
walls
for
customers
upon
entry.
We
will
have
four
registers
with
the
product
behind
the
glass
to
help
customers
with
a
checkout.
We
will
only
allow
cash
and
debit
transactions.
Only
customers
are
required
to
actually
exit
the
dispensary
after
purchase
our
registered
cpa
and
resources
records.
AG
AG
Our
traffic
solutions,
we
understand
that
our
company
has
a
heavy
concerns
with
the
traffic
and
our
plans
are
sufficient.
We
have
a
parking
lot
behind
our
establishment
that
has
eight
parking
spots.
We
will
also
have
a
traffic
director
outside
for
for
for,
for
all
our
customers.
Throughout
the
day,
we
we,
we
have
the
mbta,
subway
and
bus
lines
on
bench
street
at
neptune,
road
to
to
help
customers
with
traffic.
AG
We
will
encourage
all
customers
to
use
the
transportation
system,
and
our
company
will
also
donate
to
the
transportation
system
for
customers
using
train
or
subway
platforms,
to
help
keep
the
clutter
away
from
our
establishment
from
having
too
many
vehicles,
we
will
have.
We,
we
have
an
uber
and
lyft
drop
off
for
our
pre-orders,
we're
we're
we're
going
to
work
with
the
state
to
it's
a
bennington
street
parking
lot
for
customers.
AG
That's
a
one-minute
walk
from
our
establishment,
we're
going
to
do
everything
we
can
to
to
add
more
parking
spots
there
as
well
and,
as
stated
on
our
pickup
window.
The
reason
the
reason
for
our
pickup
window
is
because
we
we
really
understand
the
traffic
solutions
and
we
really
want
to
to
give
everyone
their
own
version
of
healing.
So,
for
example,
if
a
person
is
in
a
rush,
a
customer's
in
a
rush
and
they
feel
like
well,
I
have
a
deadline
to
have
somewhere
to
go.
AG
They
can
place
their
order
online
using
the
using
a
debit,
a
debit
transaction.
Only
they
they'll
place
their
order
online
and
once
they
get
to
the
pickup
window,
a
security
guard
will
be
there.
They
have
to
have
their
id,
they
will.
They
will
give
give
the
yes,
yes,
the
id
will
get
scanned,
and
once
the
id
is
scanned,
our
our
our
employees
will
give
them
their
a
ticket
number
and
give
them
their
purchase.
AG
So
they
can
be
on
their
way
if
they
decide
that
they
want
to
come
into
our
establishment
just
to
get
their
own
version
of
healing,
and
you
know,
talk
to
the
employees
and
see
the
tvs
and
see
everything
that
we
have
on
the
inside.
They
can
do
that
as
well,
but
but
we
feel
like
the
pickup
window
will
definitely
help
eliminate
traffic
and
get
and
get
customers
in
and
out
in
a
timely
fashion,
especially
the
customers.
That's
right
off
the
train
station
we
will
place.
AG
AG
Safety,
safety
and
security.
We
will
follow
all
city
state
and
cannabis
control.
Commission
safety
guidelines.
We
will.
Our
plan
is
to
have
a
relationship
with
the
east
boston
police
department,
our
hiring
traffic
director
for
after
school
hours
to
to
to
control
traffic
for
for
our
young
adults,
our
security
partners
we
have,
we
have
former
marines,
understands
the
priority
and
the
safety
of
of
of
carrying
a
cannabis,
especially
we've.
We've
also
got
in
contact
with
with
another
security
company
guarding
capital
who
does
who?
Who
does
security?
AG
Excuse
me
at
a
happy
valley,
which
is
eight
minutes
away
from
our
establishment,
so
we're
going
to
talk
to
both
parties
and
see,
what's
the
best,
the
best
scenario
for
cannabis
hill
and
to
be
protected
in
the
right
way.
Our
company
will
have
overnight
security
to
protect
our
establishment
after
hours,
and
we
plan
to
work
with
the
ccc
to
ensure
our
design
is
efficient
and
safe.
AG
AH
AH
Our
fashion,
art
style,
apparel
and
brands
for
our
businesses
are
appealing.
All
boston
residents
have
the
first
choice
of
working
at
cannabis,
healing
we
will
post
and
alert
local
residents
about
our
establishment,
cannabis
healing
already
has
minorities
and
women
working
on
our
team.
Our
company
will
embrace
all
ethnicities
and
host
events
for
women
and
minority
groups,
benefits
for
residents
in
east
boston,
discounts,
scholarship
opportunities
and
assets
to
all
events,
we
host
to
better
our
community.
AH
I
plan
for
individuals
with
a
criminal
record
to
create
a
safe
job
that
can
allow
someone,
with
their
background,
to
generate
money.
Our
community
outreach
plans
and
how
we
will
give
back
to
our
community
products.
We
bring
to
the
community,
are
safe
and
purchased
from
ccc
license
distributors
to
give
customers
the
greatest
experience
possible.
AH
We've
just
approved
our
apparel
we're
currently
collaborating
with
a
streetwear
clothing
brand
called
neighborhood
heroes.
Our
mission
is
to
be
the
heroes
in
our
neighborhood
and
community.
We
also
have
our
own
clothing
brand
in
the
realm
of
fashion,
to
allow
our
customers
to
add
unique
pieces
to
their
wardrobe.
AH
B
AG
Yes,
we
did.
We
had
our
community
outreach
meeting
january
26th
with
with
eagle
hill
civic
association.
We
definitely
explained
how
we
we're
gonna
do
the
pickup
window
and
a
couple
a
couple.
Representatives
definitely
stated
that
they
feel
that
it
would
be
a
great
asset
because
it
would
definitely
help
with
traffic
and
but
obviously
they
stated
that
we
have
to
go
to
the
board
and
we
have
further,
you
know
further
stages
to
go
to.
B
And
I
know
thank
you,
I
know
in
your
presentation.
You
just
stated
no
smoking
outside.
So
what
are
you
gonna
do
to
enforce
that
I
mean
I
walk
down
the
street
every
day
and
I
see
people
smoking
outside.
I
think
that's
a
great
goal.
I'm
just
worried
about
the
takeout
window
and
sort
of
that
sort
of
like
lingering
thing
have
you
thought
through
that
at
all.
AG
Yes,
actually,
yes,
yes,
we
have.
So
what
we're
going
to
do
is
between
our
traffic
director
and
our
and
our
and
our
security
guard
and
we're
going
to
have
someone
outside
the
establishment
as
well
just
to
you
know,
also
attract
customers
to
our
establishment.
We're
going
to
we.
We
made
that
very
known
to
our
team
already
that
there
will
be
no
smoking
around
the
premises
so
once
they
get
there
once
they
go
to
pick
up
window
and
they
get
their
product
and
they're
leaving.
AG
There
will
be
no
smoking
on
the
side
street.
No,
no
smoking
by
the
train
station.
We're
gonna
make
sure
that
our
circle,
our
our
area,
that
there
will
be
no
smoking,
allowed
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
that's
one
of
the
main
things
because
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
you
know
it's
children
around
as
well.
You
know-
and
we
just
don't.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
everything
safe
and
secure.
A
H
AG
AG
You
know
the
whole
community
and
everyone
we
really
want
to
be
together.
We
don't
want
anything
to
be
separate.
We
want
to.
We
want
to
help
all
businesses
so
we're
definitely
working
with
felipe
he's,
the
owner
of
garden
capital
security.
We're
definitely
gonna
be
working
with
him
to
do
our
security.
AG
AG
I
play
I
play
sports
basketball
and
baseball,
and
I
want
just
me
personally:
I
want
to
give
back
to
you
know,
to
a
certain
baseball
basketball
programs-
and
I
know
by
me
having
a
cannabis
establishment
having
my
name,
cannabis,
hill
and
being
on
that
isn't
good,
so
we
definitely
created
the
jaclyn
foundation
to
where
we
can
donate
to
any
to
any
non-profit.
We're
definitely
going
to
be
donating
to
the
eagle
hill,
civic
association.
AG
That's
a
non-profit,
we're
going
to
be
donating
to
and
all
the
pro
all
the
non-profits
that
we're
going
to
donate
to
in
the
city
of
boston.
It'll
come
under
the
jaclyn
foundation,
so
they
won't
be
cannabis
selling
because
I
love
kids.
Like
I
love
sports,
you
know
I
really.
I
love
going
to
the
east
boston
high
school
games.
I
love
I
love
seeing
them
play
and
I
would
love
to
you
know,
give
a
donation
and
support
them
by
buying
cleats
or
buying.
AG
AD
D
AG
Yes,
when
we
first
got
the
location,
we
had
the
demographics
of
the
of
the
traffic,
and
we
understand
that
we're
obviously
in
boston.
You
know
anywhere
from
two
to
six-
is-
is
extremely
packed
in
that
area,
and
I
me
and
my
mother
we're
over
there
every
day.
Just
you
know,
checking
on
the
location
talking
to
businesses
and
just
talking
to
residents-
and
you
know
over
this
past,
we
started
in
february
2021.
AG
So
over
this
past
year
and
a
half
we've
pretty
much
been
there
every
other
day.
So
we
pretty
much
got
a
good,
a
good
gist
of
traffic
in
the
winter
time
and
in
the
summertime.
So
it's
kind
of
benefit
that
we've
been
going
through
this
process
so
long
we
kind
of
got
to
see
exactly
all
seasons,
and
you
know
what
ways
we
can
make
sure
that
our
establishment
is
safe,
secure
and
you
know
ready
to
to
be
open.
AI
D
AG
We
will
have
two
at
the
at
the
pickup
window
and
we
will
have
four
four
to
five
and
in
employees
on
the
on
the
inside,
so
we're
looking
at
seven
employees
a
day
not
including
our
not
including
our
security
and
they're
gonna.
Most
of
them
are
to
be
part-time
because
we
want
to
give
everyone
the
opportunity
to
work
at
cannabis
ceiling
within
this
year
and
a
half
it's
been
so
many
people,
that's
like,
oh
my
god,
brian.
What?
What?
What
can
we
do
to
work
there?
AG
Even
if
it's
part
time
like
if
we
can
just
get
one
day,
help
us
out
so
we're
we're
encouraging
everyone
to
be
part-time?
Obviously
you
know
me
and
my
mother,
will
you
know
we'll
be
there
full-time
yeah
and
our
managers
will
be
there
full-time,
but
as
far
as
our
employees,
we
encourage
them
to
be
part-time
employees.
So.
F
AH
AH
When
I
mean
incentives
like
I
was
saying
an
opportunity
for
them
to
say,
for
example,
they
say:
okay,
we
want
to
go
back
to
school,
so
what
we
will
try
to
do
is
give
some
money
to
them
to
try
to
help
them
go
back
to
school
by
way
of
buying
books
or
something
some
kind
of
something
to
help
them.
You
know
move
forward.
It
doesn't
mean
that
they
have
to
stay
at
cannabis,
healing
all
their
lives.
AH
AG
Residence,
oh
so
the
the
requirements
for
a
residents
to
access
the
scholarship
fund.
We
will
need
to
see
grades,
we'll
definitely
need
to
see
grades
so
like,
for
example,
if
it's
a
high
school
student,
our
jack
of
the
foundation
we
already
established
to
where,
if
you
have
a
3.3.4
gpa
and
you
score
a
certain
amount
on
your
a.c.t,
you
will
get
a
thousand
dollars
in
scholarship
money
or
you
know
things
things
and
things
of
that
nature.
They
they
they
have
to
show
that
they
are
good
students
and
they're
dedicated
we're.
AG
Also
in
the
letter
of
support
from
their
teacher
and
their
principal
to
understand
that
you
know
every
that
the
the
applicant
is
who
they
say
they
are,
and
they
actually
are
a
good
person.
We
really
want
to
help.
You
know
everyone
in
the
city.
You
know,
with
their
own
version
of
healing
whether
it's
sports
education
working
in
the
cannabis
field,
plant
trees,
whatever
it
takes,
we
just
want
to
make
the
city
a
better
place
and
we'll
do
whatever
it
takes
to
make
that
happen,
and.
AH
AG
From
the
jacqueline
foundation,
not
from
cannabis,
everything
everything
will
be
from
our
foundation
and
that's
why
I'm
glad
that
we
created
it,
because
I
can
feel
more
comfortable
with
donating
to
anyone
pretty
much
because
it's
a
non-profit
and
it's
not
really
tied
to
our
to
our
organization.
So
I'm
really
excited
about
the
jaclyn
foundation.
AG
I
feel
like
we
can
do
a
lot
in
the
city
of
boston
with
the
foundation,
and
I
really
do
believe
that
our
our
employees
once
they
see
everything,
we're
doing
and
how
we're
trying
to
get
back
and
how
we're
trying
to
help
help
each
other
be
great.
I
do
think
that'll
help
our
whole
establishment
and
our
city
kind
of
just
be
more
together
and
be
more
happy
and
be
more.
You
know
create
their
own
version
of
healing.
AH
AH
AG
Yes,
so
everyone
that
we're
working
with
for
as
far
as
our
employees
are
one
of
our
one
of
our
assistant
managers,
hansel
conderis,
he's
he
he
does
management
at
the
airport
and
he
that's
pretty
much
what
he
that
is
his
job.
As
far
as
you
know,
reading
resumes
and
accepting
who
should
be
you
know
in
the
in
the
establishment
he's
also.
He
also
used
to
work
at
a
former
establishment.
So
you
know
he's
experienced
in
that
matter.
Him
me,
my
my
mother
and
we're
also.
AG
AG
The
eyes
are
died
and
the
teaser
across
and
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
be
doing
that
as
well
a
couple
a
couple
months
way
before
opening.
We
already
did
some
practice
walkthroughs,
but
as
we
get
further
along
in
the
process,
pray
to
god
once
we
get
further
along
we'll,
definitely
have
it
more
more
realistic
and
we'll
definitely
have
some
practice
runs
and
by
him
being
certified
and
already
working
with
multiple
dispensaries.
AG
Yes,
whenever
we,
whenever
we
hire
a
consultant,
we're
going
to
hire
them
exactly
to
to
do
a
job,
so
that
specifically
consultant
that
we're
hiring
that
that
that
pretty
much
does
the
management
and
and
the
and
the
employee
structure.
Yes,
we're
gonna
hire
him
to
do
that.
We're
gonna
everyone!
All
specialists,
we're
gonna,
hire
another
mentor
of
mine
who
spoke
previously
jeff,
who
who
owns
low
key
dispensary.
AG
I'm
also,
you
know,
gonna,
be
helping
him
out
free
of
charge
because
he's
been
mentoring
me
and
helping
me
out
during
the
process
and
by
him
you
know
already
having
a
store
pretty
much
established
that
that'll
help
help
out
as
well
with
knowledge.
My
previous
experience
me
and
my
mother
in
michigan
and
california,
and
in
colorado,
managing
and
working
with
working
with
the
specialties,
has
also
taught
us
the
the
game
plan
and
the
regiment
of
how
employees
and
you
know
how
they
need
to
operate.
In
order
for
your
business
to
be
successful,.
AG
D
Q
AG
Yes,
we
do
I've.
Obviously
you
know
they.
Everyone
wants
a
discount
on
purchases,
so
we'll
definitely
give
a
small
discount
on
purchases.
My
my
a
friend
also
he
he
wants
to
he's
a
driver
and
what
he
wants
to
do
is
he
really
wants
to
pick
up
employees
and
I
guess
he
want
to
create
his
own
kind.
I
guess
uber
lyft
system
and
so
we're
going
to
be
picking
up
our
employees
using
using
his
system.
AG
AG
I
know
for
sure
when
we
do
stuff
in
the
city
of
east
boston,
just
to
show
our
support
and
job
fairs,
and
you
know
giving
out
food
and
water
and
those
things
I
know
for
sure
any
any
employee
would
you
know,
love
the
opportunity
to
work
with
cannabis
healing
and
I
think
just
off
of
all
of
those
attributes.
I
feel,
like
I
feel,
like
our
employees,
should
be
very,
should
be
very
satisfied
in
our
establishment.
AG
Not
for
not
for
part
time
only
only
full
time
and
managers
get
a
dental
and
a
health
part-time
employees
we'll
give
them
the
opportunity
to
you
know,
can
continue
to
work
and
we'll
we'll
have
to
manage
them
and
make
sure
that
every
you
know
that
they're
doing
their
job
correctly
before
we
can
pro
before.
We
can
promote
them,
but
we
definitely
do.
You
know
want
to
promote
our
part-time
employees
to
a
full-time
me
and
me
and
my
mother's
dream.
We
definitely
want
to
expand
and
start.
AG
You
know
start
another
store
in
in
the
city
of
massachusetts
as
well,
so
we
we
are.
Definitely
we
are
definitely
want
to
encourage
them
to
stay
with
us,
so
they
can
get
those
benefits.
But
to
answer
your
question,
only
managers
and
full-time
members
get
the
health
and
dental
benefits
part-time
employees.
They
just
get
the
small
incentives
like
tickets
to
games,
rights
rise
to
work,
and
just
you
know,
in
a
discount
on
a
certain
purchases
and
access
to
our
events.
Q
AH
You
know
we
don't
want
anyone,
you
know
getting
mad
or
getting
upset
things
happen,
but
what
our
goal
is
is
to
make
everybody
feel
at
home
and
and
make
sure
that
that,
if
there's
any
questions
they
can,
if
they
can't
get
it
resolved
with
our
management,
they
can
come
and
talk
to
us.
Our
office
will
always
be
open
to
them
and
that's
what
we
want
to
do.
We
want
to
make
sure
that's
a
smooth
transition
between
the
two.
P
AG
So,
basically,
our
our
establishment.
You
know
it
is
a
cannabis
retail
dispensary,
it's
just
when
you
walk
in
we'll
just
have
a
wall
and
we'll
just
have
a
wall
with
like
certain
art
pieces,
so
we'll
have
so,
for
example,
we'll
say
you
know
if
someone
you
know
the
best
artist
throughout
the
month.
You
know
the
best
three
artists
or
four
artists.
AG
We're
gonna
put
your
paintings
on
our
wall,
and
you
know
artist
of
the
month
kind
of
thing
where
people
can
come
in
and
appreciate
their
artwork
and
appreciate
the
establishment
and
but
obviously,
of
course,
with
our
security
guard
and
everyone
inside
we're
going
to
encourage
everyone
to
you
know,
make
their
purchase
and
exit
the
dispensary
as
soon
as
possible.
We
don't
want
anyone
just
sitting
around
lingering.
AG
AH

AJ
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
natalia
benitez,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
the
applicant
met
with
the
eagle
health
civic
association
in
january
this
year.
Some
comments
in
regards
to
close
proximity
to
other
cannabis
stores
in
the
area,
but
overall,
in
the
opposition
from
the
association
our
office
held
at
a
buddhist
meeting
on
april
6th
of
this
year,
there
were
some
concerns
regarding
traffic
flow
in
the
area.
The
area
tends
to
be
a
problem
when
it
comes
to
traffic
and
pedestrians
going
back
and
forth.
AJ
So
there
were
some
comments
regarding
that,
but
it's
from
safety
and
proximity
to
schools.
This
is
in
between
two
high
schools:
well,
one
middle
school
and
a
high
school,
but
overall
the
inviters
were
supportive
of
the
business
plan
that
the
applicants
presented.
So
at
this
time
our
office
would
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
Y
Hi,
I'm
brittany
again,
I'm
the
college
kid!
That's
just
for
a
paper.
I
was
just
well.
I
think
you
guys
just
the
all
the
questions
that
people
asked
before
me
answered
my
question
because
I
was
just
wondering
like
if
you
guys
were
from
east
boston
since
you're,
so
like
focused
around
healing.
I
was
just
wondering
like
if
you
knew
your
community
and
like
what
you
wanted
to
heal.
Y
But
after
hearing,
like
all
your
questions
in
all
your
answers
to
the
community
questions
that
they
asked,
I
think
I
think
I
got
my
answer
like
since
you
guys
went
based
off
like
your
grant
the
your
mom's
mom's
profit.
I
forgot.
I
really
forgot
what
it
was
called,
but
since
you
want
to
give
back
to
your
community
and
things
like
that,
I
guess
it
answered
my
question.
Y
AK
Hi,
can
you
hear
me
yes,
yes,
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
marita
palabicini
and
my
family
owns
the
building
at
formed.
Lipton
road
we've
owned
it
for
around
since
2004
2006,
and
I'm
here
to
support
wanda
and
brian
jones
for
the
for
this
dispensary,
because
this
dispensary
is
very
different
from
others,
because
this
is
a
family-owned
business.
So
they
have
a
personal
stake
in
this
business.
AK
Moreover,
they're
committing
to
the
east
boston
community
by
investing
and
providing
jobs
and
donating
to
local
efforts
and
organizations,
plus
I've
been
dealing
with
wanda
and
brian
for
for
a
year
and
they're
very
knowledgeable
about
the
candidates,
products
and
they
care
about
the
community.
One
thing
that
I
want
to
mention
is
because
a
lot
of
people
have
been
concerned
about
the
the
traffic
the
location
we.
We
had
a
function
hall
there
for
about
three
years
in
east
boston,
with
the
capacity
of
100
100
persons.
AK
AK
There's
a
lot
of
parking
now,
not
only
on
the
the
parking
lot
itself
is,
but
there's
a
lot
of
up
street
parking
right
on
lipton
road
and
also
on
bennington
street,
and
there's
a
parking
lot
within
walking
distance
of
the
location.
Moreover,
it's
very
close.
It's
like
a
few
feet
away
from
route,
1a
ted
karen
tunnel,
ted
williams,
channel
kellen
tunnel.
AK
AD
A
All
right,
our
final
matter,
so
next
we
have
new
applications
for
courier,
slash
delivery
operator
licenses
which
do
not
count
for
the
purposes
of
the
one-to-one
equity
to
non-equity
ratio.
So
the
applicant
is
pro
aces.
Llc
pure
oasis.
The
proposed
license
premise
is
430
blue
hill
avenue
dorchester,
the
license
type
is
a
delivery
operator
license.
The
proposed
hours
of
operations
are
10,
am
to
9
pm
seven
days
a
week.
This
is
the
equity
applicant.
The
initial
application
was
filed
november,
8th
2020
2021.
A
Y
I
Mr
evans
submitted
a
sufficient
amount
of
documentation
that
verified
that
he
has
been
a

least
the
past
seven
years
by
providing
a
proof

So
our

plan
mimics
the
regulations

were
put
forth
by
the
cannabis
control
commission.
If
you
want,
I
can
go
into
all
of
them,

pretty
much.
You

trying.
Hopefully
you
know
in
the
near
future,
there
will
be
more
opportunities
for
cashless
transactions,
but
really
trying
to
keep
everyone
safe
and
not
have
any
cash
on
hand.
If
need
be,
all
customers
need
to
be
verified
before
a
delivery
is
initiated
working
with
a
company
potentially
on
fleet
as
our
third-party
service
provider
and
what
they
do
is
they
maximize
their
roots
and
also
randomize
the
route
so
that
it's
not
predictable?
AL
In
this
instance,
customers
won't
be
able
to
track
the
delivery
like
different
than
if
it
was
grubhub
or
uber,
where
you
can
see
where
the
vehicle
is
at
all
time.
That
won't
be
the
case
in
this
scenario
and
again
going
through
the
rigorous
background
screening
process
of
drivers,
no
firearms
in
the
vehicle.
AL
The
ccc
has
done
a
pretty
good
job
at
coming
up
with
a
robust,
robust
set
of
set
of
regulations
for
delivery
that
again
keep
our
drivers
safe,
as
well
as
customers
operations.
We
have
been
open
for
more
than
two
and
a
half
years
and
then
that
we've
grown
tremendously
cannabis
is
like
dog
years.
You
know
one
year
in
the
industry
is
probably
equivalent
to
three
to
five
years
and
in
that
time
we've
learned
a
lot
about
just
basic
retail
operations
and
also
leveraging
our
networks.
AL
AL
AL
This
way
we
have
good
security,
we
have
good
communication
between
home
base
and
the
truck
so
that
we
don't
worry
as
much
about
security
or
diversion,
or
you
know
in
this
case,
if
someone's
putting
in
an
order,
they're
pre-verified,
we
check
their
id
when
we
get
there.
Our
drivers
are
wearing
body
cameras
and
then
people
sign
off
on
the
order.
Once
it's
delivered.
AL
Employment
we've
done
pretty
good
with
employment.
You
know.
One
of
the
things
that
happened
after
covet
is
that
you
know
we
really
had
to
double
down
on
making
sure
that
people
were
compensated
properly,
and
so
we
did
a
whole
revamp
of
of
our
compensation
process
process
to
make
sure
that
we
are
being
competitive
with
the
industry,
because
it's
a
newer
industry.
AL
We
revisit
salaries
after
the
first
six
months
and
then
annually,
and
we
still
believe
in
hiring
from
the
community,
because
people
who
generally
work
for
a
dispensary
you
know
enjoy
using
weed
and
and
coupled
with
coming
from
marginalized
communities.
Sometimes
they
could
be
at
risk,
and
so,
if
they
aren't
working
for
us
making,
you
know
competitive
salaries,
then
there
sometimes
isn't
an
alternative
for
them,
and
so
they
end
up
going
back
to
the
streets
and
so
we're
sensitive
about
you
know
making
sure
they're
compensated
properly
again.
AL
You
know
three
of
our:
our
businesses
are
in
boston
and
this
would
be
kind
of
a
fourth
vertical
and
we
have
a
great
relationship
in
the
city,
and
we
want
to
celebrate
that.
We've
made
a
very
conscious
city
decision
to
you
know,
keep
our
roots
within
the
city.
You
know
this
is
our
home
base,
we're
we're
comfortable
here,
and
we
want
to
continue
to
celebrate
that
relationship
again.
AL
Her
address
some
issues
with
some
landscaping
around
one
of
the
city-owned
watson,
we're
working
with
girl
called
main
streets
as
a
conduit
to
distribute
some
funds.
You
know
because
it's
hard
as
a
nonprofit
or
it's
hard
for
non-profits
in
the
community
to
feel
comfortable
taking
money
directly
from
from
us,
but
we
found
a
relationship
with
growth
hall
main
streets
and
they
are
potentially
going
to
act
as
a
conduit
to
you
know,
spread
some
of
those
community
benefits
around
two.
AL
And
again,
it's
really
comes
down
to
experience
and
and
experience
and
cannabis
goes
a
long
way.
You
know
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
happen
silently
that
works
well
and
then
there's
some
glaring
alarms
when
things
don't
work
well
and
that
comes
from
you
know,
learning
over
time
and
there's
a
big
time
component
and
time
equals
experience,
and
you
know
looking
at
delivery
it.
It
wouldn't
be
as
difficult
as
maybe
cultivation
or
something,
and
so
we're
excited
about
deploying
some
of
our
experience
into
a
new
vertical.
B
I'm
trying
to
wrap
my
head
around
some
of
the
delivery
stuff,
and
so
I'm
going
to
ask
you
some
of
the
same
questions.
I
asked
some
of
the
other
applications.
So
when
you
take
your
online
orders,
do
you
like
group
them
and
then
send
the
trucks
out
at
certain
times
a
day
or
is
it
on
demand?
You
go
out
like
how
many
orders
would
be
in
a
particular
vehicle
again.
AL
So
we
really
leverage
the
algorithm
of
the
software
of
someone
like
on-fleet,
and
so
you
know
they
have
the
algorithm.
They
have
the
maps,
they
have
all
the
addresses,
and
so
I
think
you
know
if,
on
average
they
showed
in
the
demo.
If
you
had
110
deliveries
in
the
queue
they
would
be
able
to
say
here's
the
route
here
are
the
deliveries
for
driver
a
b,
c
d,
and
literally
they
do
everything
for
you.
AL
So
it
takes
the
thinking
out
of
it,
and
so
you
know
this
logistic
component
is
a
billion
dollar
industry
around
amazon.
Regarding
ups
to
try
and
make
sure
that
you
know
your
drivers
are
efficient
because
you
know
if
you're
inefficient,
it
costs
you
money.
So
we
you
know
you
partner
with
someone
like
on
fleet,
so
you
don't
have
to
think
about
it
and
and
the
problem
is
already
solved
for
you
but
yeah
they
they
literally
in
in
in
the
span
of
10
seconds.
Q
AL
There
may
in
fact
be
a
surplus
as
you
get
all
these
people
are
opening
and
they're
not
doing
the
numbers
they
thought
they
were
going
to
be
doing,
but
we're
still
in
this
kind
of
marching
up
the
hill
effect
of
you
know
more
people
being
open
or
opening
and
and
needing
staff,
and
we
have
staff
so
we're
just
an
easy
target,
and
so
it
varies.
You
know
some
people
say
you
know,
I'm
a
bud
tender
and
there's
a
new
place
opening
and
they
made
me
all
these
promises
and
they
leave
us
and
we've
had.
AL
Maybe
a
handful
of
people
come
back
because
they
go
somewhere
and
it's
not
what
they
thought
it's
going
to
be
so
bud
tenders
are
anywhere
from
16
to
18
an
hour,
but
your
managers,
you
know
those
are
the
people
that
get
picked
off.
First.
When
it
comes
to
competitors,
you
know
they're
really,
on
the
high
end,
a
manager
kevin.
What
do
you
think.
U
Yeah
so
so
from
a
from
a
supervisor
perspective
they're,
typically
making
around
41k
with
us,
and
we
actually
have
an
internal
scale
that
we
use
so
that
there's
equity
amongst
roles
and
then
so
for
eight
assistant,
general
managers
they're
in
the
50
range,
and
then
general
managers
are
in
the
60
and
70
range.
And
then
director
of
operations
are
upward
of
thinking.
They
can
be
well
into
the
six
figures
depending
upon
the
size
of
the
operation.
AL
But
the
competitive
component
is
that
someone
may
come
to
one
of
our
gm's
at
70
and
say
we're
going
to
pay
you
90.95
just
because
we
need
you
right
now
so
excuse
the
whole
equation,
because
it's
it's
not
market
driven,
it's
demand
driven.
So
now
we
have
to
guard
against
someone.
You
know
making
some
sort
of
astronomical
offer,
and
so
you
know
that's
what
kind
of
threw
everything
off
after
covet
is
that.
U
Your
earlier
point,
your
earlier
point
was
a
good
one.
I
think,
like
being
first,
you
know
to
market
in
this.
Industry
has
its
disadvantages,
one
of
which
is.
We
now
have
staff
that
have
over
two
years
of
experience,
so
when
people
are
opening,
the
first
likely
place
to
poach
is
from
pure
oasis.
So
we've
dealt
with
that
quite
a
bit.
Q
Yeah,
I'm
sorry.
I
have
so
many
questions
because
it's
so
it
is,
you
have
been
around
in
the
first
open.
So
you
have
a
lot
of
lessons
but
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
Just
one
more
question:
I'm
just
curious
about
this
driver
career
part
of
this
industry.
So
are
you
you're
buying
the
vehicle
so
you'll
own,
the
vehicles,
yeah
sure
and
then
so
you'll
have
all
the
liability
for
any
accidents
or
anything
like
that.
Q
AJ
J
Yes,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board
some
background
information
on
the
process.
As
you
heard
from
the
applicant,
there
was
a
community
meeting
as
well
as
robust
outreach
with
neighborhood
stakeholders,
including
project
wright.
Our
office
is
unaware
of
any
serious
concerns
at
this
time,
but
we
know
residents
would
like
pure
oasis
to
continue
conversations
with
them
and
keep
them
updated
as
changes
occur
with
operations.
Thank
you.
A
A
Thank
you.
So
those
are
all
the
matters
before
the
board
today.
The
board's
voting
meeting
will
take
place
next
wednesday
june
22nd
at
1pm.
The
information
to
access
the
voting
here
is
already
posted
on
our
website.
Boston.Gov

Again,
the
record
will
be
kept
open
until
next
tuesday
june
21st
5pm.
Thank
you
all
for
attending
and
enjoy
the
rest
of
your
evening.
