Yes,
I'm
jerry
boyd
advisory
board.
Member
and
I
live
in
west
roxbury.

Hello,
this
is
yardley
sanchez
member
for.
H

K
K
Hi
everybody-
I
am
jenna
savid.
I
live
in
roslindale
and
I
am
the
deputy
director
of
the
boston
police
department's
office
of
research
and
development,
which
means
that
one
of
the
things
I
do
is
apply
for
grants
and
manage
grants,
and
I've
been
doing
so
in
the
area,
in
particular
mental
health.
K
For
about
10
years
now,
and
over
those
10
years,
I've
gotten
to
know
ralph,
poland
and
scott
martin
of
safetynet,
who
first
worked
with
the
boston
police
kind
of
informally
through
one
particular
officer,
who's
very
interested
in
issues
related
to
developmental
disability
in
particular,
but
we
then
were
able
to
formalize
this
partnership,
starting
in
2014.
K
We
got
some
grant
funding
to.
Let
us
purchase
some
safety
net
services
for
people,
and
we
now
have
another
such
opportunity
through
current
bja.
Grant
pja
is
the
bureau
of
justice
assistance,
and
so
we
have
this
grant.
That
is
allowing
us
for
three
years
to
provide
essentially
lifetime
safety
net
service,
to
people
who
qualify
or
who
need
it
and
just
live
in
the
city
of
boston.
K
It's
for
individuals
who
have
a
tendency
to
wander
due
to
either
dementia
or
developmental
disabilities,
and
so
I'm
going
to
basically
turn
it
over
to
our
state
net
partners.
I
don't
know
if
scott
has
tuned
in
or
not,
but
we've
got
ralph
and
this
grant
will
also
provide
training
to
the
boston
police
department's
street
outreach
unit,
which
is
our
unit
focused
specifically
on
mental
health
substance
and
homelessness.
K
G
G
All
right,
thank
you,
jenna,
so
scott
martin
here,
I
guess.
A
G
Oh,
absolutely,
I'm
sorry
for
having
some
technical
difficulties
I'm
down
in
connecticut
today
we're
experiencing
difficulties
in
any
event.
So
I
am
scott
martin
and
I
am
the
president
of
safety
net
and
I
am
a
retired
police
officer.
I
was
with
the
connecticut
state
police
for
24
years
and
then
I
was
with
the
local
department
up
in
massachusetts
for
five
practice,
and
we
started
safety
net
program
about
11
years
ago
and
associated
with
the
boston,
pd
and
the
city
of
boston.
G
Is
our
home,
we're
based
in
boston
for
the
last
nine
or
ten
years,
and
it's
a
great
relationship.
Safety
net
has
expanded
dramatically
in
the
last
11
years
from
boston.
We
expanded
across
massachusetts
and
we
are
now
in
21
states
with
our
home
still
being
in
southie.
We
have
a
customer
service
center
based
in
braintree,
and
we
have
an
emergency
call
center
based
in
quincy,
and
we
have
a
shipping
and
receiving
location
based
down
in
rockland.
G
So
we're
we're
definitely
boston
and
greater
boston
based
very
excited
to
be
part
of
other
grant
opportunity
thanks
to
jenna,
who
does
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
for
the
bpd
and
the
citizens
of,
and
this
is
our
I
think.
Third,
maybe
fourth
round
with
this,
I
can
tell
you
that
safetynet
has
had
well
over
900
successful
searches
since
we
have
been
going
and
with
at
least
five
or
six
hundred
of
these,
resulting
in
a
lot
space,
and
many
of
these
have
actually
been
within
the
city
of
boston.
G
We'll
have
an
example
of
that
on
a
news
video
shortly
and
the
videos
that
you're
going
to
see
as
part
of
this
call
really
do
speak
for
themselves
and
show
you
how
valuable
a
tracking
service
and
identification
emergency
service
such
as
safetynet
can
be,
and
the
proof
is
in
the
pudding
has
been
very
successful
in
the
city
of
austin
and
we're
really
excited
to
be
part
of
this
opportunity.
Once
again.
G
L
L
And
the
entirely
about
him,
the
midnight
to
eight
shift
in
early
to
search
for
him.
The
state
police
sent
the
helicopter
with
a
forward-looking
infrared
camera
to
see
if
they
could
pick
up
his
heat
signature.
This
was
in
february,
22
degrees
out
and
we
didn't
get
the
call
until
about
8
o'clock
at
night.
So
it
was,
you
know,
pitch
black,
very
cold,
22
degrees.
L
The
two
towns
north
and
south
of
us
sent
their
canines
to
search
for
him
and
we
couldn't
find
him,
but
we
spent
hours
and
thousands
of
dollars
trying
to
locate
this
gentleman.
The
good
news
is
that
he
was
located,
but
not
by
the
search
team.
Just
by
luck
he
had
wandered
into
the
open
garage
of
a
single
family
home
in
the
area
and
the
family
came
home
that
evening
when
they
went
to
pull
into
their
garage
they
saw
somebody
sitting
in
their
other
car
and
they
thought
it
was
being
stolen,
so
they
called
night.
L
We
had
people
off
the
search
team
that
we
were
looking
for
this
gentleman
and
send
him
on
the
stolen
car
report,
and
that
was
him.
So,
a
couple
of
weeks
later,
I
found
out
about
this
program
brought
it
to
our
town.
We
were
trained
and
equipped,
and
to
this
day
we
small
population,
25
000,
we
average
in
the
vicinity
of
25
people
on
this
program,
ranging
from
alzheimer's
dementia
children
with
autism,
traumatic,
brain
injury.
L
Any
cognitive
issue
issue
that
would
require
you
know,
maybe
to
cause
them
to
wander
off
and
become
lost,
and
the
jenna's
gonna
show
you
a
video.
In
a
little
while
of
a
gentleman
that
I
actually
put
the
tracker
on
before
I
retired
he
was
our
first
rescue
and
it
took
one
police
officer
under
20
minutes
from
the
time
he
was
reported
missing
to
from
the
police
station,
put
his
frequency
into
the
receiver
that
the
officers
have
go
to
where
he
was
last
seen
and
find
him.
L
It
was
literally
stuck
in
the
mud
at
low
tide
in
a
river
and
the
tracker
that
you'll
see
on
him
was
on
his
ankle
and
it
was
literally
12
to
18
inches
in
river
mud
and
still
picked
up
the
signal.
L
So
this
is
radio
frequency,
it's
not
gps
or
cell
and,
as
we
all
know,
radio
frequency
like
police,
radios
and
scanners
goes
through
everything.
So
the
average
search
time
for
what
scott
mentioned
we
have
over
940
successful
searches
around
the
country.
The
average
search
for
somebody
on
this
program
is
under
30
minutes.
K
A
K
I'll
do
it
so
there's
a
bracelet
that
basically
has
a
radio
frequency
signal
that
gets
put
out,
that
the
person
can
wear
and
it's
actually
now
in
the
form
of
a
very
nice
watch.
So
it's
also
functional
functional
and
factorable,
but
because
it
puts
out
this
radio
frequency.
K
Basically,
the
second
someone
go
is
reported
missing.
K
Police
have
search
equipment
that
picks
up
a
specific
radio
frequency
and
associated
with
that
specific
bracelet,
and
it
allows
them
to
search
for
them
and
the
police
have
this
equipment,
the
state
police,
and
so
it
enables
people
to
be
found
very
quickly
and,
as
ralph
said,
a
lot
like
many
lives
have
been
saved
into
this,
and
safety
net
also
has
a
kind
of
lower
level
bracelet,
that's
just
an
id
bracelet
that
allows
someone
to
at
least
be
identified
if
they
don't
need
that
level
of
cracking
and
all
this
information
is
kept
in
a
secure
database.
K
So
within
the
within
the
bracelet,
there
will
be
an
id
number
and
when
they,
you
know,
and
safety
night
will
will
have
very
important
information
about
each
individual
person
such
as
the
name.
They
tend
to
respond
to
or
something
that
something
that
will
help
people
gain
trust
and
you
know
and
and
make
contact
I'm
sure,
I'm
doing
a
far
worse
job
of
this
than
ralph
or
scott.
If
you
want
to.
L
Yeah,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
I
can
jump
in
yes,
everyone.
I
don't
know
if
you
can
see
me
because
I
can
only
see
like
three
people
but
I'm
holding
up
the
watch.
This
is
a
new
device
that,
as
of
this
past
wednesday,
we
were
just
able
to
get
out
to
the
public.
Like
jenna
was
saying.
L
The
original
safety
net
tracker
was
just
basically
around
about
half
the
size
of
a
golf
ball
device,
and
it
was
a
you
know,
the
typical
you
know,
stereotype
type
of
like
a
hospital
or
bracelet
or
a
medical
bracelet.
Over
the
years
we've
had
had
people
request
something
more
more.
You
know
friendly
looking,
especially
with
people
with
alzheimer's
and
dementia.
L
They
did
not
like
this
item
on
there
there
have
been.
You
know.
Children
with
autism
didn't
want
to
wear
the
older
style
because
it
was
embarrassing.
Somebody
would
ask
them
what
it
is
and
they'd
have,
you
know,
didn't
want
to
tell
them
so.
Research
and
development
has
been
going
on
for
almost
a
little
over
a
year,
and
now
our
tracker
watch
is
available.
L
Each
one
of
these
things
has
a
specific
frequency
and
when
somebody
goes
missing,
we
have
the
caregiver
call
absolutely
911
first
and
then
call
safetynet
afterwards,
just
to
make
sure
that
the
the
authority
or
agency
is
actually
going
out
looking
for
this
person,
because
it
could
be
somebody
from
california
that
is
visiting
in
boston
and
goes
missing
in
boston.
L
L
The
frequency
for
that
specific
person
shows
up
and,
like
jenna,
said,
any
particulars
that
that
may
be
involved
with
this
person
so
like
the
person's
name
is
john
smith,
but
he
likes
to
be
called
frank,
so
that
is
in
the
database.
So
the
officers
know
that
this
gentleman's
name
is
john
smith,
but
they're
going
to
address
him
or
call
for
him
by
the
name
of
frank,
also
information
about
whether
or
not
this
person
could
be
aggressively
approached
by
police.
L
So
all
of
that
information
is
in
this
database
that
law
enforcement
knows
about
and
also
we've
had,
several
what
we
call
a
reverse
saves,
which
actually
one
happened
in
right.
Not
long
ago
it
was
in
july
a
gentleman
was
walking
down
the
street
70
75
degrees
out.
L
L
L
The
police
officer
noticed
the
safety
net
tracker
device
on
his
wrist,
so
the
officer
took
out
his
trusty
buck
knife
cut,
the
strap
off
opened
up,
the
back,
took
the
battery
out
and
inside
is
the
frequency
and
id
of
that
person
on
dispatch.
He
calls
dispatch
and
says
I
have
a
safety
net
client
here,
who's
non-verbal,
whose
frequency
is
216123.
L
L
So
now
the
officer
has
positive
identification
as
to
who
this
person
is,
even
though
they're
non-verbal
and
it
turns
out
the
gentleman
was
living
in
a
secure,
assisted
living
facility
about
a
mile
away.
So
the
officer
was
able
to
put
this
gentleman
into
his
cruiser
drive
back
to
the
facility
and
return
him
to
safety
to
his
caregivers.
A
L
A
K
L
L
Okay,
so
this
has
a
a
button
on
it
that
I
just
dragged
this
one
out
of
the
warehouse.
It's
not
set
up
yet
but
button
on
on
this
one.
Here,
you
probably
can't
see
it
it's
kind
of
embedded
into
the
plastic
or
the
rubber,
but
when
you
push
that
button,
the
watch
turns
on
and
tells
the
time
you
push
the
button
again
and
it
tells
what
the
battery
life
is.
So
the
caregiver
knows
that
a
month
two
months,
three
months
down
the
road
they
can
keep
looking
at
the
battery
life.
L
A
In
the
interest
of
time,
could
we
show
the
video,
because
I'm
thinking
the
board
members
probably
have
some
questions?
Absolutely
okay,.
K
Yep
you
got
it.
I
have
to
keep
the
video
relatively
small
because
the
the
quality
gets
worse.
When
I
enlarge
it,
hopefully
everyone
can
see
it.
Okay,
if
you
can't
hear
it,
let
me
know,
but
it
should
work.
M
M
O
M
M
K
I
also
on
the
last
slide
I'll
I'll
put
that
up
for
a
minute
just
so
everyone
can
see
the
phone
number
to
call,
but
I
guess
what's
important
to
know
is
that
through
this
current
grant
opportunity,
we
have
enough
funding
for
residents
in
boston,
for
I
believe
it's
215
people
to
get
lifetime
safety
net
service,
the
safety
net
tracking,
an
additional
40
people
can
get
id
bracelets,
and
so
we
want
to
get
the
word
out
both
to
officers
which
I've
been
working
on
doing
so
that
when
they
encounter
someone
who
may
have
wandered
they
can
let
the
family
know
that
this
service
is
available,
but
also
we
want
to
get
the
word
out
to
the
community
and
it
was
during
a
city
council
hearing
that
counselors
flynn
and
campbell.
K
I
didn't
even
know
this.
This
commission
existed
and
made
this
wonderful
connection,
so
we
wanted
to
get
the
word
out
that
a
we
have
funding
for
this
for
people
who
can't
afford
it
themselves
but
or
if
you
can't
afford
it
yourself.
This
is
a
really
important
and
really
helpful.
Service
is
available
throughout
the
state,
so
I'll
put
up
that
number
just
for
a
second
and
obviously
we
can
send
this
out
as
well.
If
anyone
wants,
but
if
you
have
any
questions
by
all
means,
we
will
take
them.
K
Let
me
just
make
sure
that's
in
the
slide,
let's
see
no
not
to
you
here,
okay,
so
everyone
can
see
this
so
yes,
215
people
for
the
tracking
and
40
people
for
id
bracelets,
and
you
can
see
the
pricing
there
and
again.
This
is
lifetime
service,
and
so
we're
really
excited
to
have
this
opportunity.
It's
essentially
going
to
be
given
away.
K
First
come
first
serve
the
only
thing:
that's
really
required
is
that
you'll
be
a
city
resident
and
then
you
enroll
by
contacting
safety
net
directly
at
this
number,
which
I'll
show
on
the
last
slide.
It's
larger
there
and
just
refer.
You
know
reference
the
boston
police
program
to
basically
get
access
to
this
funding.
There's
another
video
which
you
can
watch
and
here
so
this
is
the
phone
number
you
call
directly
to
get
to
safetynet
and
our
email
addresses
are
down
here
but
again
happy
to
share
this
slug.
K
L
I
just
like
to
say
a
couple
of
things
on
the
id
bracelet
that
is
connected
into
the
same
secure
database
as
the
tracking
device,
and
again
this
is
a
an
id
bracelet.
It
has
no
personal
information
on
it.
For
that
person
it
has
a
safety
net,
our
name
and
a
code
number,
so
any
officers
or
anybody
for
that
matter.
That
camera
comes
across
somebody
wearing
one
of
these
bracelets
and
they're
unresponsive
or
non-verbal.
L
That
number
can
be
called
and
the
same
as
the
the
issue
that
the
the
brighton
police
officer
said
that
information
to
include
a
photograph
for
positive
id
can
be
emailed
to
ems.
L
What
we
call
the
e2,
the
brand
new
tracking
device
watch,
I
should
say,
and
if
anybody
wants
hard
copies
of
this
thing,
you
can
email
me
and
give
me
a
you
know:
a
good
street
address
a
an
address.
I
could
mail
these
to
you
and
we'd
be
more
than
happy
and
your
supply
of
them
great.
I
I
I
was
wondering,
and
I
I
think
you
would
answer
the
other
one
about
a
client's
willingness
to
customer
or
whatever
the
right
word
is
here
a
person's
willingness
to
to
wear
it,
but
I
was
wondering
also
about
durability
and
those
kind
of
issues,
or
is
it
just
if
there's
any
problem
with
the
watch,
for
whatever
reason
it's
a
replacement
issue
that
it
will
be
replaced
promptly.
L
Yes,
these
I've
been
with
this
program
since
2009
2012,
I'm
sorry
when
I
retired
but
2010
when
we
first
got
involved.
There
are
people
in
in
my
town
and
around
the
country
that
came
on
this
program
in
2010.
L
That
has
had
the
exact
same
tracker
for
all
those
years.
The
amount
of
ones
that
have
had
to
have
been
replaced.
L
99.9
of
them
is
because
somebody
somehow
cut
them
off
and
threw
them
down
a
toilet
and
there's
no
way
to
recover
it,
or
you
know
just
smashed
it
to
pieces,
somehow
so
they're
very,
very
durable
and
they
have
been
for
since
2010.
L
J
Yes,
okay,
so
my
questions
are
somewhat
similar
to
elizabeth's,
but
I
will
ask
them
anyway.
I
do
have
a
few
questions
and
they're
two
different
topics.
So
the
first,
I
think
you
know
from
my
point
of
view
it
kind
of
sounds
like
maybe
this
would
happen
later,
but
this
is
just
a
different
perspective.
J
We
want
to
make
it
safe
for
people
who
have
cognitive
disabilities,
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
they're
required
to
register
through
that
program
and
if
they
have
to
have
a
consent
form
that's
signed
and
if
so,
who
fills
that
out?
Is
that
the
person
themselves
who
are
getting
the
watch
or
would
that
be
maybe
their
their
legal
guardian,
perhaps
or
their
caregiver?
J
So
who
would
sign
that
consent
form
and
then
they
would
have
to
wear
the
bracelet
or
the
watch
at
all
times?
Are
they
able
to
take
it
off
in
an
emergency
situation?
So
that's
that's
sort
of
one
set
of
questions.
My
other
question
is
I've
been
thinking
about
the
future
developments
of
protection?
J
So
do
you
think
you
would
have
the
opportunity
to
work
with
some
smart
watch
companies
like
apple
or
fitbit,
because
I'm
thinking
about
those
people
in
those
companies,
maybe
they
would
prefer
to
have
a
watch
like
a
smart
watch
instead
of
this
no
offense
weird-looking
device?
So
those
are
the
two
sort
of
versions
of
questions
that
I
have.
L
Yeah
sure,
thanks
erica,
as
as
far
as
the
who
signs
up
for
this
program,
it
would
be
the
caregiver
we
have
a
caregiver
agreement
and,
and
basically
what's
is-
is
the
person
the
caregiver
is
going
to.
Let
us
know
that
the
person
going
on
this
program
does
have
a
cognitive
issue.
L
They
do
not
have
access
to
a
vehicle,
they
do
not
have
access
to
public
transportation
alone,
they
can
have
somebody
go
with
them
and
they
have
somebody
that
would
be
able
to
report
them
missing,
24
7.,
so
for
so
they
have
to
not
so
much
medical
care,
24
7,
but
you
know
a
responsible
adult
that
would
be
able
to
know
that
this
person
has
gone
missing
15
minutes
ago,
as
opposed
to
you
know
somebody
caregivers
going
to
work
in
the
morning
and
then
coming
home
at
five
o'clock
at
night
and
notice
that
the
person
isn't
there.
L
Are
they
gone
five
minutes
or
are
they
gone
seven
hours,
which
is
a
huge
difference
and
that
that
is
what
we
call
our
caregiver
agreement?
The
other
question:
what
was
the
other
question
that
you
had
erica?
I'm
sorry?
I
should
have
written
them
down.
K
This
question
actually,
but
I
think
it
was
about
whether
there's
going
to
be
any
future
partnerships,
maybe
down
the
line
with
smart
watches
and
that
kind
of
thing
which
is
both.
L
Breakfast:
okay
yeah-
that
is
probably
not
going
to
happen
because
this
is
the
we
have.
This
is
rf
radio
frequency,
it's
not
gps
or
cell
and
in
certain
situations,
gps
systems
are
lost.
The
signals
are
lost.
Just
a
perfect
example.
L
L
L
Down
and
when
I,
but
to
a
certain
area,
it
go
hand,
switch
switch
over
to
a
hand
held
widget
and
when
I
pointed
like
my,
they
call
it
a
yagi
antenna
to
the
ground,
and
I
got
the
loudest
signal.
I
was
at
the
saturn
hill
t-stop,
so
gps
never
would
have
gotten
that
signal.
L
We've
had
people
that
are
were
hot
multi-storey
buildings,
where
you
would
get
the
signal
gps,
that
if
you
followed
it,
you
could
attract
that
person
that
they
went
to
this
multi
multi-story
unit
building.
But
you
don't
know
where
they
are
in
the
building
with
the
radio
frequency
tracking
system.
We
can
literally
find
them
hiding
anywhere
in
that
building
in
a
closet
basement
or
where,
wherever
within
minutes
so.
L
L
Good
point:
yes:
there
there
is
a
locking
mechanism
that
the
caregiver,
when,
when
they
put
it
on
the
the
person
it
is
locked
and
the
caregiver
can
unlock
it
anytime.
They
want.
So
you
know
situation
if
a
person
has
to
go
in
for
some
some
type
of
of
a
scan
at
a
hospital
doctor's
appointment
if
they
can
remove
it
because
again
popping
out
a
radio
frequency
every
second.
So
it's
it's
not
something
that
has
to
be
activated
or
turned
on
it's
always
on.
So
we
tell
the
caregivers.
L
If
you
need
to
go
to
a
some
kind
of
a
appointment
where
there
may
be
interference
with
you
know
like
a
scan
or
or
whatnot
that
they
can
take
it
off,
but
but
the
person
wearing
it
they're,
not.
B
Okay,
carl.
C
For
those
who
can't
who
live
outside
of
the
boston
area
and
can't
afford
it,
how
much
would
it
be?
How
much
does
it
cost
the
service
cost.
L
Yeah
there
are,
there
are
several
other
agencies
that
offer
support
the
the
doug
flutie
foundation
will
support
any
family
in
new
england.
Actually,
on
this
program
for
a
child
with
autism,
my
town
alone
in
marshfield,
we
promoted
it
so
well
that
we
got
enough
donations
that
anyone
in
marshfield
would
be
able
to
run
this
program
at
no
cost
plymouth
county
sheriff's
department.
L
This
ain't
the
same
thing
so
and
if
there
was
an
area
where
there
was
no
coverage,
it
would
be
449
for
the
first
year
and
then
299
for
consecutive
years,
or
I
believe
it's
179
for
the
initial
enrollment
and
25
a
month.
A
B
D
Hey,
yes,
thank
you
so
much
this
is
duca.
Thank
you
so
much
you
all
for
your
ralph
and
jennifer
presentation.
I
am
I
I'm
I'm
in
awe
of
your
project
and
I
I
actually
had
a
few
questions.
However,
on
one
hand,
the
video
answered
almost
all
of
them,
so
so
some
other
members
asked
some
questions
I
had,
but
I
think
I
do
have
one
more
question
for
you,
so
I
I've
been
having
a
conversation
with
some
other
people
about
this.
D
Regarding
immigrants,
I
know:
there's
families
who
speak
english
or
sing
the
language
or
have
or
put
in
the
skills
is
there
any
way
that
they
can
get
the
same
this
services
as
well,
whether
in
their
language
or
any
way
they
can
get?
Maybe
you
can
reach
out
to
them
or
they
can
reach
out
to
you
and
not
be
like,
because
I
know
it's
it's
really
hard.
When
you
don't
speak
english
very
well
and
whatnot,
then
they
and
they
need
that
service.
It
is
there
any
way
that
they
can
get
in
touch
with
you,
phenomenal.
D
L
Yeah
yeah
yeah,
it's
as
far
as
we
at
safetynet
are
concerned
this.
This
is
a
life-saving
situation
and
not
a
political
one.
Anybody
that
wants
to
get
on
this
program,
we
feel,
should
have
access
to
it
period.
A
Do
you
have
capability,
in
other
words,.
E
A
L
Yes,
we
we
have
actually
the
brochures
that
I
mentioned
earlier.
We
do
have
them
in
spanish
and
we're
working
on
trying
to
get
otherwise
other
ones
in
different
languages,
but
we
know
we're
still
working
on
that,
but
we
do
have
them
in
english
and
spanish.
Q
P
Oh
hi,
my
apologies
first
to
everyone
because
I'm
being
late
to
the
meeting,
my
name
is
juan
ramirez.
I
a
lot
of
I'm
in
the
same
position.
As
you
see,
a
lot
of
things
were
already
answered,
but
just
perhaps
to
clarify
you
didn't
already
explain
this.
Is
there
a
minimum
elevated
eligibility
requirement
to
apply
for
the
device.
P
Perhaps
a
particular
population
who
perhaps
you
don't
recommend
getting
this
gadget
and
sorry,
sorry,
sorry
and
then
what
is
the
timeline
from
the
moment
of
the
application
to
actually
receiving
the
device?
So
those
are
the
kind
of
questions
I
had
thanks.
K
A
great
question
I'll
defer
to
ralph
on
the
second
half
and
on
the
first
half
I
think
you
know
we
we're
basically
just
doing
it
on
a
first
come
first
serve
basis
and
not
really
asking
for
any
proof
of
eligibility
other
than
being
a
boston
resident.
We're
not
making
people
prove
that
they
cannot
afford
it,
and
you
know,
I
guess
we'll
we'll
see
how
the
demand
goes.
But
you
know
it's
just
we
just
I
don't
know
I
just
that's.
K
Why
I'm
having
people
just
call
stinky
nut
directly
and
letting
them
kind
of
just
just
give
it
away
to
ever
ask
for
as
long
as
they're
in
the
city
of
boston.
So
there's
really
no,
no,
no
priority,
no
preference!
Just
if
you
need
it
and
you
ask
for
it
and
you
live
in
the
city,
and
you
refer
to
the
program,
then
you
will
get
out.
L
Yep,
as
far
as
how
soon
can
somebody
obtain
one
of
these
things,
they'll
just
run
you
down
the
the
process,
so
a
caregiver
would
call
customer
service
and
mention
that
they
have
a
loved
one
on
this
pro
on.
That
has
a
cognitive
issue
and
they
would
like
them
to
go
on
this
program
and
they
live
in
the
city
of
boston
and
what
the
customer
service
will
take
all
of
their
information.
That's
going
to
go
on
in
our
secure
database,
like
all
the
stuff
that
I
mentioned
earlier
about.
L
You
know
things
that
they
like,
they
may
be
afraid
of
dogs.
They
could
be
aggressive.
All
of
that
information
is
put
into
this
database
to
include
a
photograph,
so
we
asked
the
caregiver
to
email,
a
photograph
of
this
person
just
head
and
shoulder
shot
of
this
person
to
go
on
the
database
once
that
is
done.
L
Customer
service
sends
the
order
to
our
our
warehouse
here
in
rocklin,
we
fulfill
the
order
same
day,
ship
it
out
the
door
the
same
day,
so
the
customer
would
probably
get
it
the
next
day
or
depending
on.
If
it's
a
you
know
if
it's
a
friday,
they'll
get
it
on
monday
and
then
what
we
ask
the
caregiver
to
do
is
once
that
device
shows
up.
They
need
to
actually
put
it
on
the
person
and
then
call
us
and
let
us
know
it's
on
the
person
there's.
L
The
reason
for
that
is,
there's
been
a
way
back
in
history.
Before
we
had
that
requirement
that
people
got
the
device
did
not
put
it
on
the
person
a
month.
Two
months
went
by
and
you
know
somebody
that
person
went
missing,
but
they
did
not
have
the
tracker
on,
and
the
law
enforcement
agency
couldn't
locate
them.
So
now
we
have
to
make
sure
that
that
this
device
is
actually
attached
to
the
person.
L
So
we
have
that
caregiver
call
us
back
and
let
us
know-
and
at
that
point
up
until
that
point
on
the
database,
we
indicate
that
they
are
waiting
to
be
activated
and
as
soon
as
the
caregiver
calls
us
back
and
says.
Yes,
it
is
on
my
uncle's
wrist
or
whatever.
Then
we
go
back
to
the
database
and
activate
it
realistically,
we're
not
actually
activating
the
device
because
it's
already
on,
but
we're
just
letting
law
enforcement
know
that
this
device
just
now
it
adds
to
that
person.
So.
P
It
takes
about
an
eight,
maybe
two
great
great
quickly,
sorry,
everyone,
and
if
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
maintenance
of
I
don't
know
the
batteries,
how
often
do
they
have
to
be?
I
don't
know
if
they
have
to
be
recharged
or
how
do
you
maintain
them
or
the
user
should
maintain
them.
L
Yeah
there
are
no
batteries
to
replace
or
maintain.
The
only
thing
that
it
would
do
is
one
of
the
the
button
on
the
watch.
They
could
push
when
they
push
the
button.
The
time
will
show
up
the
next
time
they
push
it.
B
Q
A
Let
me
give
a
final
wrap-up
just
to
say
that
my
office
will
be
working
on
outreach
and
everybody
has
the
contact
info
for
safetynet.
So
we're
really
excited
about
this
program.
It's
such
an
opportunity
for
residents
and
we
will
definitely
all
get
the
word
out
so
board
members.
You
have
your
charge
ahead
of
you.
Let
your
communities
know
that
this
is
available.
First,
come
first
serve
and
we
will
get
it
into
the
residents
hands
who
need
it.
Thank
you.
B
You
thank
you
all
right.
The
next
presentation
is
our
city
department
presentation,
which
is
the
by
the
office
of
emergency
management.
R
So
how
you
feeling
everybody
thank
you
for
having
us
and
allowing
us
to
present
at
today's
advisory
meeting.
My
name
is
kyron
owens,
I'm
the
communicator.
R
Today,
you
will
have
a
presentation
for
our
consultant
over
at
western
sampson,
the
representatives
who
are
also
because
we're
assuring
will
be
adria
and
steve
if
they
really
go
over
the
natural
hazard
mitigation.
Thank.
L
R
Which
is
why
we
are
here
today,
so
just
to
give
you
guys
a
little
bit
of
a
background
about
the
office
of
emergency
management.
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
you
may
have
got
medical
department.
Our
mission
is
really
to
enhance
the
city's
capacity
to
prevent,
protect
against
respond
to
and
recover
from
major
emergencies
in
the
city,
and
so
through.
R
This
planning
process
is
one
of
the
ways
that
we
help
swim
through
that,
and
so
what
I'll
do
now
is
I'll
pass
over
to
adria,
who
can
actually
open
up
the
official
presentation
and
then
I'll
come
and
close
it.
So
thank.
S
A
S
Absolutely
so
I
I'll
start
by
just
thanking
everyone
for
giving
us
time
on
your
agenda
tonight,
I'm
showing
an
image
here
of
my
photo
and
my
colleague
as
well
steve
roy
steve.
Do
you
want
to
introduce
yourself
quickly.
S
All
right
well,

that
case,
you've
got
a
photo
of
steve
here.
He
is
on
the
lines
feel
free
to
chat
post
in
the
chat
if
you'd
like,
but
I'll
just
start
by
saying
that
we've
got
a
quick
presentation,
we'd
like
to
share
about
our
project,
which
is
the
city
of
boston's,
natural
hazard
mitigation
plan,
update
and
I'm
showing
an
image
of
the
city
of
boston
on
this
slide
here,
to
indicate
that
this
is
a
city-wide
planning
effort.
We
are
working
across
city
neighborhoods,
so
I'll
start
with
what
is
natural
hazard
mitigation
anyway.
S
Natural
hazard
mitigation
is
the
effort
to
reduce
impacts
from
natural
hazards
like
flooding,
extreme
temperatures,
winter
weather-
that
I
know
we've
all
experienced
recently,
and
we
want
to
reduce
those
impacts
through
things
like
planning,
policy,
education
and
infrastructure
projects.
So
I
have
some
icons
on
the
screen
here
to
help
visualize
that
help
visualize
the
hazards
and
the
potential
solutions,
but
to
be
a
little
more
specific
I'll
walk
you
through
what
is
included
in
this
natural
hazard
mitigation
plan
and
in
the
process.
S
So
I've
got
a
diagram
here
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
the
screen
that
helps
visualize
what
is
included
in
each
chapter
of
the
plan
in
terms
of
the
overall
process.
We
are
working
on
gathering
data,
we're
also
gathering
stories
and
experiences
and
ideas
from
residents,
city
staff
and
more
we're
identifying
vulnerabilities
and
risks
from
natural
hazards
and
climate
change,
which
includes
flooding,
sea
level,
rise
extreme
heat,
and
we
want
to
update
progress
from
the
last
natural
hazard
mitigation
plan.
So
this
is
a
document
that
has
to
be
updated
every
five
years.
S
We
want
to
figure
out
not
just
what
hazards
are
we
at
risk
to?
But
what
are
the
potential
strategies
that
could
increase
our
resilience
and
once
we've
got
a
list
of
those
strategies
we
want
to
prioritize
them,
which
do
we
try
to
pursue
first
and
then
we're
making
a
plan
to
implement
those
action
items
that
we've
identified.
S
S
The
diagram
on
the
left
that
I
have
here
indicates
that
the
research
tells
us
every
dollar
spent
on
proactive
hazard
mitigation
planning,
for
what
we
might
experience
in
the
future
saves
us
six
dollars
on
disaster
recovery
and
beyond
the
metrics
beyond
the
economics
of
it,
the
more
prepared
we
are,
the
better
we
can
protect
our
community
and
protect
our
most
vulnerable
residents.
S
S
Are
the
climate,
ready,
boston,
east
boston
and
charlestown
project
and
the
austin
heat
resilience
planning
study,
so
we're
staying
coordinated
with
these
plans
that
we
don't
do
with
efforts,
we're
trying
to
schedule
overlapping
public
meetings
and
if
it
helps
differentiate.
One
of
the
things
that
is
a
little
different
from
our
plan
versus
these
other
city
studies
is
that
we're
looking
at
historic
hazard,
impacts
and
historic,
extreme
events,
in
addition
to
looking
at
future
climate
change
projections,
we're
also
looking
at
some
risks
that
are
distinct
to
hazard
mitigation
planning.
S
So
that's
things
like
earthquakes,
landslides,
dam
failure
and
extreme
winter
weather
and
equitable
engagement
is
a
priority
for
this
project.
We
are
doing
a
lot
of
stakeholder,
and
public
engagement
and
part
of
the
process
includes
working
with
what
we're
calling
a
street
team,
which
is
a
group
of
trusted
community
resources
who
can
help
us
get
the
word
out
about
the
project,
share
project
materials
and
share
opportunities
for
the
public
to
get
involved.
S
We're
also
hoping
that
our
street
team
partners
will
participate
in
these
engagement
opportunities.
So,
for
example,
we've
created
an
online
survey
and
would
love
for
the
street
team
to
help
share
that
survey
and
also
take
the
survey
themselves.
So
I've
got
a
list
of
potential
street
team
partners
on
this
slide.
S
So
this
is
our
ask
for
the
disability
commission.
We
have
created
a
package
of
public
engagement
materials
and
would
love
your
help,
sharing
those
materials
and
we
can
follow
up
after
the
call
with
some
of
those
I've
got
images
of
some
of
the
materials
on
the
slide.
So
they
include
our
project
webpage
and
I
can
post
a
link
to
that
project.
Web
page
in
the
chat
there's
a
lot
of
information
there
about
what
we're
working
on
what
our
next
steps
are.
What
are
the
opportunities
for
engagement?
S
We're
also
gearing
up
to
launch
that
online
survey
that
I
mentioned,
which
we've
paired
with
a
very
visual
fact
sheet,
and
both
the
survey
and
the
fact
sheet
are
available
in
six
languages
and
thank
you
kyron.
He
just
posted
the
project
web
page
in
the
chat
so
check
that
out.
We
have
also
created
additional
resources,
things
like
newsletter
text,
a
short
15.
Second,
second,
video
and
a
social
media
toolkit
to
help
our
street
team
partners
share
these
resources.
S
So
these
are
really
the
materials
that
we're
working
on
right
now,
but
there
is
more
to
come.
We
are
planning
two
public
meetings
coming
up
in
may
and
june
and
would
love
to
follow
up
with
you
when
we
get
closer
to
those
public
meetings
to
help
get
the
word
out.
So
that
folks
know
we're
going
to
have
this
conversation
would
love
to
have
as
many
people
attend
as
possible.
S
R
Adria
really
quickly,
is
it
okay?
If
I
share
the
survey
link
or
do
we
just
want
to
do
the
web
page.
A
I
have
one
question
kind
of
an
overview
question.
Anyone
have.
R
While
people
come
up
with
their
questions,
I'll
make
a
final
plug,
I
encourage
you
all
to
sign
up
for
alert
boston,
which
is
the
fullest
mass
notification
system.
So
that
way
you
would
be
able
to
receive
emergency
loads
whenever
there's
a
major
emergency
impacting
city
of
boston.
So
what
I
will
do
is
I'll
put
a
link
to
our
webpage,
where
you
can
actually
sign
up
online
and
that
can
help
you
begin
your
work
preparedness
and
we
really
want
you
guys
to
help
us
hey.
R
You
know,
spread
the
word,
but
also
just
really
be
involved
in
this
process.
The
more
input
we
have,
the
more
experiences
we're
able
to
leverage
through
this
process,
the
better
the
plan
and
will
be,
and
so
we
really
need
you.
The
actors
in
the
stairway
come
to
the
public
meeting,
stay
informed
and
make
sure
you're
supporting
your
friends
and
family
and
your
whole
network
about
this
process
and
making
sure
that
they're
involved.
A
S
It's
all
of
the
above,
we
are
looking
both
at
events
we've
experienced
historically
and
future
climate
change
impacts
that
we
might
experience
in
the
future,
and
it
includes
things
like
you
said:
earthquakes,
we're
looking
at
landslides,
we're
looking
at
dam
failure,
winter
weather,
extreme
temperatures,
both
very
hot
and
very
cold,
we're
looking
at
all
kinds
of
flooding,
so
coastal
flooding,
sea
level
rise,
dorm
surge,
storm,
water,
flooding,
inland
flooding
from
extreme
precipitation.
A
And
just
so,
the
board
knows
to
put
it
in
a
little,
because
this
is
very
like
big.
It's
a
big
scope,
but
just
so
the
board
knows
some
ways
that
you
can
get
involved.
We've
worked
in
the
past
with
the
boston
public
health
commission.
When
you
talk
about
heat,
they
did
a
some
outreach
and
we
work
with
them
closely
to
talk
about
safety,
for
people
with
disabilities
and
extreme
heat
and
extreme
cold
temperatures.
A
So
there's
a
lot
of
specific
concerns
about
climate
change
and
these
events
that
would
affect
people
with
disabilities
like
it
could
be
shelters.
If
you
need
to
go
to
shelter,
it
could
be
like
the
temperature
changes.
So
this
has
a
wide-ranging
impact
and
I'm
just
wondering
do
you
specifically
look
at
ways
it
would
affect
people
with
disabilities.
S
We
absolutely
it's
a
priority
to
plan
for
how
these
hazards
impact
our
most
vulnerable
residents
and
what
are
the
strategies
to
help
support
those
residents
and
plan
for
future
impacts,
so
we're
doing
that
through
the
stakeholder
and
public
engagement
process
and
having
conversations
like
this.
So
if
you're
able
to
you
know
take
that
survey,
share
your
experiences.
What
what
happened
during
a
previous
event
where
you
realized
here's
a
resource,
I
really
need,
or
you
know,
hear
something
that
I
know
a
neighbor
of
mine
could
really
benefit
from.
S
A
One
final
point:
olivier:
I'm
sorry,
can
you
just
be
sure
that
all
the
materials
that
you
give
out
are
accessible
to
people
who
use
screen
readers
and
that
you
do
multimedia
approach
like
audio
and
visual
and
large
print
if
needed,
and
things
like
that.
S
Yeah,
all
of
those
recommendations
are
really
important
for
us
to
keep
in
mind
as
part
of
our
goals
for
equitable
engagement.
For
this
project,
one
is
making
sure
our
materials
are
acceptable.
So
thank
you
for
highlighting
that.
R
And
and
lastly,
I
just
want
to
say,
we
appreciate
the
partnership
and
support
of
this
advisory
board
and
the
disability
commission,
and
just
want
to
thank
you
once
again
for
the
opportunity
to
come
on
here
and
really
present
to
you
and
get
you
engaged
and
involved
in
this
process.
So
thank
you,
oh,
and
I
think
there
was
a
question
by.
B
J
Yes,
hello,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation.
Actually,
I
have
a
follow-up
question,
so
I've
been
thinking
about
you
know
I
live
in
the
north
end
and
I'm
near
the
water
right.
So
thinking
about
that-
and
I
know
that
coastal
flooding
is
sometimes
a
big
problem
in
this
area.
J
So
sometimes
I
think
really
it
depends
on
the
moon
right
how
high
the
tide
is
going
to
go,
but
I
think
that
sometimes
the
long
wharf
area
will
have
floods
and
it
prevents
people
from
walking
or
running
or
someone
in
a
wheelchair
from
accessing
that
area.
And
that
really
bothers
me.
I
don't
think
that
people
get
notifications.
J
You
know
I
don't
get
that
notification
on
my
phone
about
the
floods
or
that
it's
happening,
and
I
think
it
would
be
nice
for
people
in
the
long
wharf
area
who
live
in
the
north
end
in
general
to
get
those
kind
of
notifications
to
avoid
that
area.
To
know
you
know,
I'm
a
runner.
I
like
to
run
a
lot
and
I
run
along
the
water
and
the
harbor
area
as
well
in
the
harbor
walk,
so
I'm
just
wondering
sort
of
how
we
can
resolve
that
issue.
R
Adria
I'll
take
that
one.
So
this
is
great,
and
this
is
really
the
kind
of
insight
that
we're
looking
for
through
this
process
through
that
third
day,
because
it
really
gives
us
insight
and
that
we
can
enhance
the
way
we
do
business
in
the
city.
So
one
of
the
great
members
is
the
world
district,
and
that's
only
one
of
them.
Obviously
we're
going
to
work
with
neighborhood
associations
across
the
world
in
different
organizations.
J
Can
I
interrupt
for
one
second,
this
is
the
interpreter,
there's
a
lot
of
feedback,
so
I'm
having
trouble
the
understanding.
So,
if
someone's
not
on
mute,
do
you
mind
muting?
Thank
you.
I'm.
R
Sorry
go
ahead,
I'm
sorry!
I
I
get
I
get
going
and
it's
like
a
race
car,
but
I
was
just
saying
this
is
why
we
need
to
input.
This
is
the
time
where
you
can
really
have
that
voice
and
really
push
for
those
things,
because
we
want
to
hear
from
you
and
that's
what
we
enhance
the
way
we
do
business
in
the
city,
but
making
sure
that
residents
are
prepared
and
they
are
made
aware
of
things
that
may
be
impacting
the
city,
especially
on
a
major
scale,
where
it's
impacting
obviously.
R
And
those
alerts
that
you're
talking
about
they
come
in
like
an
email,
phone
call
or
a
text
message
just
kind
of
all
three.
So
how
we
are
looking
at
that
process
and
then
the
survey
you
will
support
some
questions.
So
I
think
you
can
definitely
have
that
that
input
and
like
I
appreciate
you
so
much
for
everything
we
bring
here.
J
Yeah,
this
is
wes
again,
so
you
know.
Sometimes
I
think
I
get
text
notifications,
but
I
never
got
it
for
coastal
flooding.
So
I'm
just
wondering
if
we
can
sort
of
add
that
to
the
notification
list
and
just
throw
that
out
there
in
case,
that's
not
on
your
radar
yet
definitely.
R
So
what
I'm
doing
is
I'm
taking
notes
on
this
right
now,
I'm
going
to
edit
this,
and
I
can
bring
this
back
as
part
of
the
feedback
that
we
get
for
the
conversation.
The
other
thing
I'm
going
to
really
encourage
you
to
do.
Is
I'm
going
to
encourage
you
to
fill
out
that
survey
and
I'm
going
to
encourage
you
to
have
your.
R
Because
we
are
looking
at
the
type
of
alerts
that
we
send
out
and
if
that
we
need
to
increase
that,
because
right
now,
the
reason
why
you
don't
repeat
those
alerts
is
because
it's
not
a
major
emergency
impact
in
the
city.
It's
kind
of
like
more
civil
garment.
If
I
can
use
it
as
an
example
where
floods,
everybody
kind
of
knows-
and
we
just
look
around
it,
but
it's
not
per
se
a
major
emergency.
R
And
so
I
think
that
this
could
be
an
infantry
where
we
can.
Maybe
you
know,
with
their
advisories
and
in
addition
to
emergency
awards,.
Q
R
R
A
B
B
You
can
fill
it
out
as
a
paper
you
can
or
you
can
send
it
in
through
email
or
not
email.
Sorry,
there's
a
link.
If
you
go
to
boston.gov
elections,
there's
a
link
to
fill
out
the
census
electronically.
B
I
highly
encourage
you
if
you
have
kids,
this
year's
census
add-on
for
the
city
to
get
data
is
about
child
care.
B
And
so,
if
you
could
get
those
in
those
are
very
important
not
only
for
you
to
be
able
to
vote,
but
also
for
the
city
to
be
able
to
serve
you
better.
A
Yes,
so
we
had
done
a
lot
of
work
actually
with
chiron
when
he
was
in
elections
a
few
years
ago
to
also
get
a
disability
survey
added
on
to
the
city
census,
and
it
was
on
there
for
a
few
years,
but
I
think,
through
some
transitions
and
in
staff,
and
things
like
that,
the
disability
survey
is
not
up
there
right
now,
but
we're
working
closely
with
elections
to
get
that
put
back
on
and
basically
what
it
is.
Is
it's
similar
to
the
questions
that
are
asked
on
the
american
community
survey?
A
B
P
A
A
So
we
can
send
that
all
out
to
you
tomorrow,
if
you're
interested
and
then
juan
carlos,
when
we
get
new
data,
we'll
be
able
to
update
that
and
send
it
out
to
you.
But
that
will
be
a
ways
off
because
we're
just
collecting
the
census
data
now.
But
we
do
have
existing
data
that
we
can
share
and
it's
really
helpful
to
know.
A
No,
it's
it's
public,
it's
all
from
the
census,
so
yeah
we
have
public
information.
We
can
share
yeah.
B
Okay-
and
we
have
one
more
thing
I
wanted
to
mention-
is
the
governor
announced
there's
a
new
process
for
vaccine
signups
for
the
mass
vaccination
sites?
B
So
if
you've
been,
you
know,
setting
your
alarm
clock
for
thursday
morning
at
8
a.m.
To
try
to
get
one
of
the
few
coveted
slots
that
as
of
the
next,
the
next
release,
that's
over.
So
what
you'll
do?
Is
you
go
to
the
site
and
you
sign
up?
It's
first
come
first
serve,
but
they
will
contact
you
when
a
vaccine
appointment
becomes
available.
B
So
you
don't
have
to
sit
on
your
computer
or
you
know,
try
to
get
assistance
with
this.
The
state
has
heard
our
pleas
and
they
are
revamping
the
system.
I
still
encourage
everyone
who,
for
it's
safe
to
do
so
to
get
one.
A
Alrighty
thanks
olivia
and
again
welcome
on
as
your
first
meeting
as
board
chairperson
and
thank
you
thank
you
for
that
excellent
report.
So
I
have
a
lot
to
report
on
so
I
will
get
right
into
it.
We've
been
extremely
busy
working
on
vaccines,
as
I'm
sure
you
can
all
imagine
as
olivia
just
talked
about.
It's
been
a
very
complex
rollout
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
concern
by
people
with
disabilities,
about
where
they're
placed
in
the
system
and
the
types
of
support
that
they
need.
A
So
when
covid
first
began
mayor
walsh
established
a
health
inequities
task
force
and
this
was
really
created
to
look
at
covet
and
how
it
affects
underserved
populations.
As
we
know,
there
are
certain
populations
who
are
disproportionately
impacted
by
covid,
that
includes
people
of
color
people
who
are
older
and
people
with
certain
disabilities.
A
So
we,
the
mayor,
established
this
task
force
and
we
pushed
really
hard
to
be
sure
that
there
was
disability
representation
on
the
task
force
and
the
mayor
did
appoint
dr
sherry
blauett.
So
she's
been
working
closely
with
us
and
with
the
hospitals
and
with
the
vaccination
centers
to
look
at
the
disability
community
and
we're
really
striving
for
equity
in
all
things
related
to
covid,
such
as
testing
vaccines,
economic
recovery
and
all
the
things
that
the
disability
community
needs.
A
So
on
that
note,
I
might
have
mentioned
last
month,
but
we
worked
closely
with
kyle
actually
in
the
mess
association
for
the
blind
and
visually
impaired,
to
set
up
a
vaccine
clinic
for
people
who
are
blind
and
low
vision,
and
we
had
that
at
the
reggie
lewis
center
on
february
20th,
and
some
of
the
things
that
we
put
in
place
were
that
mavvy
reached
out
to
their
group
of
constituents
who
are
eligible
for
the
vaccine,
who
were
boston
residents
and
who
were
blind
or
visually
impaired.
So
with
that
outreach,
we
also
put
supports
in
place.
A
So
we've
heard
loud
and
clear
from
the
disability
community
that
this
group
should
be
prioritized
in
the
order
of
vaccines
and,
as
I'm
sure
you
all
know,
right
now,
it's
only
people
with
two
co-morbidities
that
are
listed
on
a
very
specific
list
from
the
cdc.
So
because
we
want
to
open
that
up
more.
Unfortunately,
we
have
to
go
by
the
state's
guidelines,
so
we
don't
have
any
leeway
in
boston
to
include
more
disabilities
in
that
list.
A
A
Another
thing
we're
working
on
is
creating
a
plan
for
people
who
are
homebound.
The
state
released
guidelines
on
people
who
qualify
for
that.
So
right
now
we're
meeting
internally
to
see
how
we
can
address
this
issue,
what
resources
we
have
available
and
how
we
can
identify
residents
who
really
can't
get
out
of
the
house
and
again
be
just
because
of
capacity.
A
We
really
have
to
focus
on
people
who
actually
can't
leave
the
house,
except
by
ambulance
or
with
the
assistance
of
more
than
one
person.
Although
we
know
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
feel
uncomfortable
still
leaving
the
house,
they
wouldn't
be
covered
in
this
group.
Unfortunately,
but
we
are
looking
at
multiple
approaches
for
the
disability
community.
A
A
A
So
they
are
doing
a
good
job
from
what
we've
heard
and
we'll
continue
to
work
closely
with
them
in
the
future
and
also
if
in
case,
anybody
hasn't
heard,
fenway
will
be
closing
at
the
end
of
the
month
and
it
will
be
moving
to
the
heinz
convention
center
to
make
way
for
the
red
sox.
So
in
some
ways
that's
really
good,
because
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
return
back
to
our
old
way
of
life,
but
just
make
sure
we
get
the
word
out
to
the
community.
That
fenway
will
be
closing
in
the
near
future.
A
Q
A
A
Made
that
clear,
so
we've
raised
the
idea
to
the
state
of
allowing
someone
with
a
disability
to
accompany
their
pca
and
get
vaccinated.
At
the
same
time.
It
is
not
in
place
just
to
be
clear,
but
we
are
raising
that
idea
to
hope
that
the
governor
will
consider
it,
and
I
know
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
advocacy
by
the
disability
community.
A
I
did
send
out
to
the
board
and
I
hope
you
all
got
a
chance
to
read
it.
But
the
arlington
disability
commission
wrote
a
letter
to
the
governor
to
urge
him
to
prioritize
people
with
disabilities,
and
I
know
that
you,
the
board,
had
voted
last
month
to
write
a
similar
letter
to
the
governor
and
to
the
mayor,
and
hopefully
elizabeth
may
have
an
update
on
that
because
she
volunteered
to
work
on
it
and
if
not,
we
can
work
on
it,
because
this
is
a
really
good
template.
A
I
I
I
would
find
the
template
helpful,
and
I
did
want
to
give
the
group
an
update
about
that,
but
specifically
in
regard
to
what
you're
talking
about
what
I'm
hearing
in
other
contexts
is
the
reality
right
now
is
that,
as
far
as
the
the
number
of
biles
that
are
available
in
massachusetts
versus
the
number
of
slots,
that
people
could
sign
up
for
would
takes
it
through
to
the
end
of
march
right
now,
and
so
I
I
think
these
ways
that
you
tell
you
talking
about
partnering
are
very
important
and
either
now
or
later
for
the
letter.
I
I
I
frankly
view
this
as
I
I
thought
there
were
some
excellent
points
in
the
arlington
letter,
but
I
view
it
as
more
of
a
civil
right
or
certainly
it's
it's
a
different
group,
but
the
rtag
executive
board
was
well
aware
of
the
obstacle
transportation
and,
although
we
don't
have
anything
to
report
right
now,
but
we
are
actively
looking
into
that
aspect
of
one
of
the
challenges
for
people
with
disabilities.
I
So
I
will
get
that
out
to
you
and
commissioner
pardons
making
an
offline
discussion
to
find
that
I
think,
like
arlington,
for
as
far
as
concrete
things
to
propose
what
additional
we're
in
the
working
group
working
on
this
letter
at
this
juncture
here
and
now
what
additional
things
to
propose,
in
addition
to
ones
like
that,
you've
already
got
in
place
or
that
make
a
lot
of
sense
that
iran
is
it's
ironic
to
have
to
think
of
it
as
the
other
way
around,
but
either
any
way
that
it
works.
I
That
people
with
disabilities
are
definitely
not
being
served
by
the
system.
The
way
is
functioned,
as
we
know
from
everything
from
how
quickly
the
dexterity
or
you
know
how
fast
you
can
get
an
appointment
to
that.
Some
people
are
willing
to
drive
an
hour
two
hours
in
each
direction
to
get
a
vaccine
or
I've
even
heard
of
scenarios
where
people
who
weren't
on
the
list
on
a
given
day
are
able
to
show
up
in
a
setting,
and
you
know
get.
I
I
guess
something
where
someone
didn't
show
up,
but
those
people
with
disabilities
often
don't
have
that
those
kind
of
latitude.
So
I'll
I'll
be
in
touch
offline
for
and
then
and
then
you
know,
help
get
this
out
that
I
I've
been
following
different
aspects:
different
threads
of
it,
but
it
does
need
to
be
now
so
why.
A
A
One
other
note
just
to
let
people
know
I
was
able
to
purchase
a
large
bulk
order
of
clear
face
masks
with
some
grant
money
that
I
had.
So
we
gave
a
big
group
of
those
masks
to
the
reggie
lewis
center
so
that
they
can
serve
people
when
they
come
in
to
get
vaccinations
and
also
gave
some
to
age
strong
that
they're
distributing.
F
Commissioner,
I
just
said
a
couple
of
things
sure
I
wanna
this
is
jerry
by
the
way
I
wanted
to
echo.
I
think
that
is
a
fantastic
idea
about
having
you
know:
pcas
go
with
their
pca
users
go
with
their
their
attendance.
You
know,
I
think,
as
you
mentioned,
I
think
it
will.
You
know,
kill
so
many
birds,
you
know
with
one
stone
and
and
frankly,
I'm
I'm
disappointed
that
the
that
the
administ
that
the
state
did
not
think
of
that
much
earlier
yeah.
F
Yeah
definitely
so
please,
if
there's
any
way
that
we
can
as
a
board
or
individually
assist
with
that
advocacy
on
that.
That
would
be,
you
know,
I'd
be
happy
to
and
I'm
sure
the
rest
of
the
the
board
members
would
be
as
well
around
the
issue
of
transportation,
though
I
have
seen
some
news
reports
that
that
the
city
of
boston
is
starting
to
do
some
mobile
vaccination
sites
at
some
of
the
some
of
the
bigger
housing
developments
around.
F
I
don't
know
if
you've
you've
seen
that
or
you
you
can
provide
any
information
about
that
and
maybe
make
sure
that
that
yeah,
you
know
about
the
availability
of
of
the
mobile
vaccination
sites.
Sure.
A
So
the
city
is
setting
up
dedicated
mobile
sites
for
certain
things
like
the
teachers
are
going
to
be
able
to
go
to
a
certain
site,
because
there
are
so
many
of
them.
They
can
also
go
to
other
sites
like
they
they're
welcome
to
go
to
fenway
or
gillette
or
wherever,
wherever
they
can,
you
know
can
get
to.
But
there
are
going
to
be
some
mobile
access
sites
said
there
are
some
set
up
now.
A
F
B
B
Yeah
bha
came
to
a
couple
of
elder
disabled
public
housing
complexes.
It
was
boston
ems
that
was
actually
doing
the
jabin
right.
A
B
B
A
I
think
the
point
really
is
it's
not
going
to
be
a
one
approach
fits
all
so
olivia
for
the
people
who
are
mobile
and
can
get
down
like
you
said,
but
the
state
did
mandate
that
all
municipalities
look
at
a
program
for
people
who
can't
literally
can't
leave
their
apartment
or
their
home.
So
that's
what
we're
working
on
now
and
it
will
be
like
I
said,
tightly
limited
just
because
of
resources,
but
we
will
be
addressing
that
population.
A
All
right
any
other
questions,
or
I
can
move
on
with
my
report-
okay,
great
so
just
a
few
other,
not
too
many
other
things,
but
talking
about
covid
still
and
the
economic
recovery
that
the
city
is
working
on.
So
we
are
back
at
our
ramp
distribution
program.
In
case
you
don't
know,
I
don't
remember.
A
We
began
giving
out
ramps
to
restaurants
last
year
when
they
set
up
dining
in
the
on
the
street
level,
so
that
people
could
get
from
the
curb
to
the
street
so
patricia
and
sarah
have
been
busy
working
on
that
and
so
far
this
year.
They've
given
out,
I
think
about
between
30
and
40
ramps,
and
what
we
did
this
year
is.
We
prioritized
women
owned
minority
owned
and
veteran
owned
in
small
businesses,
small
restaurants
in
the
neighborhoods,
rather
than
downtown.
A
So
we're
really
proud
of
our
work
on
equity
in
that
sense
and
and
that
we're
really
trying
to
support
the
smaller
restaurants
that
that
really
can't
afford
to
buy
a
ramp
so
great
work
by
my
team
on
that,
and
that
will
continue.
We
have
about
40
ramps,
left
to
distribute
and
we'll
be
working
on
that,
because
outdoor
dining
opens
on
april
1st.
A
A
You
know
looking
at
different
issues
for
people
with
visual
disabilities
and
people
in
wheelchairs,
and
things
like
that.
So
the
master
plan
is
progressing
and
we're
working
closely
with
the
team
on
that,
and
then
I
believe
the
last
update
I
have
is
on
the
caption
ordinance.
I
know
wesley
has
been
in
touch
with
me
about
that
and
I
did
submit
the
plan
that
I
had
shared
with
you
last
year
to
igr,
which
is
the
intergovernmental
relations
office.
A
H
A
Thank
you
david.
Yes,
I
I
should
have
said
that
65
and
over
what
I
was
referring
to
specifically
was
the
companion
program,
because
that's
only
for
75
and
older,
and
that
did
cause
a
little
confusion
in
the
beginning.
So
only
people
yep
only
people
who
are
75
and
older
can
bring
a
caretaker
to
get
vaccinated,
but
you
are
eligible.
N
Hello,
I
have
a
follow-up
question
and
once
you
find
out
that
date
for
the
hearing,
could
you
please
move
on
and
make
the
requests
for
asl
and
contributing
services
because
those
kind
of
requests
they
need
advanced
notice?
So
that's
the
only
thing
I
would
like
for
you
to
make
sure
we
have
asl
internet
services
requests
in
advance.
A
A
I
I
Are
there
what
editions
or
are
the
you
know
what
having
seen
this
letter?
What
would
you
like
our
letter
to
additionally
include
focus
on
that
kind
of.
I
I
Okay,
well,
if
there,
if
there
aren't
any
specific,
then,
as
I
had
said,
I
will
finish
out
the
draft
and
circulating
to
I.
N
N
I
Well,
the
only
one,
the
only
thing
I
might
I
will
see
what
people
think.
I
agree
that
you
could
not
have
an
exhaustive
there's,
no
way
if
you're
just
doing
a
list,
you
could
capture
every
single
disability,
but
I
think
frankly,
that
one
of
it's-
and
not
only
that
letter
but
but
in
the
program,
the
way
that
list
is
written
as
far
as
treatment.
I
It's
not
only
what
does
someone
with
someone's
medical
condition,
but
they've
really
so
far
excluded
a
large
number
of
immunosuppressive
treatments
that
don't
have
if
you
don't
have
in
death
cancer
or
you
don't
happen
to
have-
had
a
solid
organ
transplant,
but
you
might
be
receiving
an
immunosuppressive
therapy
for
anything
ranging
from
rheumatoid
arthritis,
multiple
sclerosis,
certain
bowel
conditions
there
are.
There
are
a
lot
of
that.
I
also
think
that
ins
in
the
way
that
that
list
has
been
the
narrowly
drawn
up
list.
I
I
do
think
that
at
least
it
might
be
worth
our
while
to
to
just
indicate
a
category
not,
but
no.
I
think
that
that's
if
anything,
I
think
our
approach
wants
to
be
people
with
any
kind
of
disability.
Are
you
know
that?
I
Otherwise,
if
even
the
situation
of
of
saying
the
people
with
one
disability,
you
know
belong
in
the
same
category
as
you
know,
some
of
the
people,
the
general
public,
that
I
think
that-
and
I
heard
at
least
at
a
national
level-
there's
now
a
big
push
for
obesity
that
obesity,
which
again
it's
I
I
know
they
have
data
on
that
and
it's
not
just
like.
We
don't
want
to
pit
one
medical
condition
against
another
one
type
of
disability
against
another.
I
It's
not
trying
to
be
disrespectful,
but
I
really
do
think
as
a
category
for
the
in
cross
that
cross
the
intersection
of
difficulties
with
you
know
getting
to
places
potentially
not
everyone's
this
fit,
but
that
I
do
the
challenges
that
people
who
have
disabilities
face
already.
I
I
really
would
like
to
see
some
kind
of
system
that
is
able
to
draw
a
much
broad,
have
physicians
involved
to
have
that
involved
differently,
but
I
do
agree,
there's
no
way
we
could
just
do
an
exhaustive
lift.
We're
trying
to
say
that
I
know
the
governor
was
proud
has
stated
that
he
was
proud
of
recognizing
that
people
with
intellectual
disabilities
are
in
a
different
that
they
should
be
prioritized.
But
there
are
many
other
significant
types
of
disabilities
and
I
think
that's
where
we
want
to
travel
to.
I
You
know,
fill
in
the
gaps
that
aren't
being
filled
in.
If
people
aren't
able
to
you
know,
don't
live
in
a
large
map
group
setting
or
it's
not
don't
live
in
an
area
where
getting
to
a
mass
site
is
as
feasible
but
anyway,
but
I
I
will
take
that
into
consideration
as
well.
Elizabeth.
A
I
D
I
Yeah
that
that
that's
fine,
I
do
want
to
do
that.
As
I
said,
perhaps
I
focus
too
much
on
the
element
of
transportation,
but
you
know
I
I
am
trying
to
follow
up
on
that,
so
I
absolutely
will
do
that
great.
B
Okay,
new
business,
do
we
have
any
new
business.
A
I
have
a
few
things
to
list
a
new
business.
Speaking
speaking
of
the
code,
the
letter
from
arlington
I
wanted
to
let
the
board
know,
I'm
not
sure
if
I've
mentioned
this
in
the
past,
but
the
disability,
communities
in
greater
boston
have
a
monthly
call
and
they
call
themselves
coda.
The
commission's
on
disability
alliance
and
my
staff
participates
every
month.
Patricia
takes
those
calls
and
they
talk
about
all
kinds
of
issues
like
this
letter
was
discussed,
and
things
like
that.
A
So
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
about
it,
because
you're
all
more
than
welcome
to
join
the
calls
they're
on
a
wednesday
at
I
think,
like
12
or
12
30
once
a
month-
and
you
know
it's
it's
towns
that
are
very
close
to
boston.
It's
newton,
brookline
arlington,
you
know,
there's
several
towns
that
we
work
closely
with
and
that
border
boston,
brookline
and
they're
very
active
commissions,
so
most
towns
certainly
don't
have
the
staff
that
boston
has
so
a
lot
of
people
on
the
call.
A
A
I
have
a
standing
meeting
on
wednesdays
that
conflicts
with
this
protocol,
but
once
I
can
change
my
schedule,
I
I
plan
to
join
them
as
well,
because
the
few
times
I've
been
on
it's,
it's
really
good
information
and
it's
a
chance
to
collaborate
on
things
like
this
letter.
So
I
would
recommend
it
if
anyone
has
the
time
and
then.
A
So
congratulations
to
all
our
strong
women
advocates
and
we
look
forward
to
highlighting
your
work
and
then
the
last
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
is
before
the
call
kicked
off
tonight.
There
was
some
informal
conversation
about
elections
that
are
coming
up
this
year
and
the
issue
was
raised
about
doing
a
potential
survey
of
mayoral
candidates
to
see
where
they
stand
on
different
issues
relating
to
disability
and
accessibility.
A
So
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
on
the
table
to
see
olivia
being
the
chairperson.
If
you
wanted
to
think
about
raising
that
to
a
vote
to
send
out
a
survey,
I
may
have
the
old
survey
that
we
did
that
I
could
send
to
the
board
to
look
at
and
see
if
you
wanted
to
use
that
or
make
any
changes,
and
we
could
potentially
send
that
out
to
male
candidates
just
to
see
where
they
stand
on
the
issues.
B
All
right
I
want
to
make
a
motion
am
I
allowed
to.
I
want
to
make
a
motion
that
we.
B
F
Discussion,
I
would
just
say
I
would
I'm
sorry
olivia.
I
would
just
say,
commissioner,
if
you
don't
have
an
existing,
the
existing
survey.
Can
you
let
us
know
as
soon
as
possible,
so
that
olivia
and
the
exec
board
can
and
whoever
can
help
draft
graph
questions.
A
Absolutely
I'm
I'm
pretty
sure
I
have
it
and
I'm
really
glad
that
paul
kind
of
kicked
off
this
discussion
tonight,
because
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
to
get
the
candidates
stands
on
the
issues
because
it
makes
them
think
about
it
right,
even
if
they
hadn't
thought
about
it
yet
yeah
and
then
you
have
you
actually
have
a
commitment
in
writing.
Say
you
promised
you
were
going
to
do
this,
so
when
you
get
elected
you
can
hold
them
to
it.
A
G
B
All
right
public
input
is
there
any
public,
any
members
of
the
public
who
want
to
step
forward
and
address
the
board.
H
Nice
to
be
here
so
a
couple
of
observations
before
I
make
my
comments,
I
think
that
people
who
are
not
a
speaker
have
a
clearer
presentation
than
those
who
are
on
speaker
because
of
background
noise,
and
I
I
find
that
the
google
option
here
is
a
lot
noisier
than
the
one
we
had
with
zoom.
H
So
going
on
to
my
comments
for
the
last
three
years,
or
so
I
brought
up
at
the
mbta's
our
tag,
meetings,
issues
about
elevators
and
the
tea
is
engaged
in
replacing
or
installing
new
elevators
in
certain
parts
of
the
system,
and
I
brought
to
their
attention
the
fact
that
the
panel
that
you
use
to
press
the
buttons-
it's
not
always
visible
from
an
accessibility
point
of
view
and
I'm
sure
that
most,
if
not
all
of
you,
have
gotten
on
an
mbta
elevator
and
had
to
do
a
360
degree
search
to
find
out
where
the
buttons
are,
and
I
had
a
discussion
with
laura
brelsford
from
system-wide
accessibility.
H
So
if
any
of
you
have
any
views
on
that,
I
invite
you
to
send
an
email
to
laura
brailsford.
At
l
b,
r
e
l,
s
f,
o
r
d
at
mbta.com.
H
A
few
meetings
ago,
I
was
told
that
the
brochure
was
being
prepared
and
there
was
going
to
be
some
outreach
to
the
cycling
community
and
I
was
going
to
get
a
call
back
on
that
and
I
never
did.
I
want
to
know
where
that
brochure
is
at
present
and
what
outreach
is
being
done
to
the
biking
community,
to
ensure
that
standard
traffic
regulations
and
riding
on
sidewalks
and
through
crosswalks
and
all
of
those
other
things
that
we
know
happen
are
being
addressed
to
the
biking
community
and
that's
all.
I
have
to
say.
A
A
Melinda
did
create
her
outreach
plan
and
she
finished
her
presentation,
so
I
did
have
it
on
my
list
of
things
to
do,
but
we've
just
been
so
overwhelmed
with
covid
work
and
down
a
staff
person,
because
jessica
left
certainly
no
excuse,
but
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
just
complete
the
whole
loop
with
melinda,
but
I
did
want
to
suggest
that
we
actually
give
the
bike
presentation
at
a
board
meeting,
so
we
can
do
that
next
month,
if
you're
interested
melinda-
and
I
can
do
it
together-
we
can
show
you
what
the
plan
is
and
then
it
will
probably
be
good
timing,
because
the
weather's
getting
nice
now
and
then
we
can
launch
into
our
outreach
right
after
the
board
meeting.
A
A
S
Also,
if
david
would
like,
I
could
give
him
a
call
and
then
or
I
could
just
do
like
a
presentation
with
him
via
zoom
or
google
me
if
that
works
for
him
actually.
K
H
A
That's
what
I've
seen
and
also
we
want
to
work
with
the
boston
police
too,
just
to
make
them
aware
of
it,
so
that
it's
on
their
radar,
especially
the
community
police,
and
I
mean
there's
so
many
people
we
can
work
with.
We
can
work
with
our
office
of
neighborhood
services.
They
have
people
out
on
in
the
neighborhoods
to
get
the
word
out
to
community
groups,
and
things
like
that,
so
melinda
can
share
it
with
you,
like
first
thing
in
the
morning
or
tonight,
because
it's
the
draft
is
pretty
much
done.
A
We
I,
but
it
would
be
great
now
at
this
point,
to
get
your
input.
So
if
you
see
things
that
are
missing
you,
let
us
know
we'll
put
them
into
the
presentation
and
then
second
thing
that
you
mentioned
was
the
platform
we
can
look
into
to
zoom.
If
that
is,
is
something
that
people
would
prefer.
