O
D
Anybody
is

anybody
that
I've

who
might
be
joining
us
on
the
phone.
D
D
Yes,
okay,
so
let's
we'll
move
to
approval
of
the
minutes
from
the
last
meeting
who
would
like
to
make
a
motion
wants
to
open
it
up
or
if
there's
any
open
for
discussion
about
the
minutes
from
the
last
meeting.
D
So
just
one
moment.
D
Sorry
I
am
I'm
trying
to
pull
up
my
my
window
and
to
see
the
agenda
I've
got
it
now.
Okay,
it
looks
like
we
have
a
presentation.
D
Talking
about
accessibility
efforts
at
Fenway
Park,
but
that
person
apparently
is
sick,
so
Andrea.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
know.
Andrew
was
able
to
actually
at
the
last
minute,
rather
than
have
our
our
intentioned
presenter
we're
having
somebody
from
the
office
of
food
Justice.
Who
is
going
to
be
here
today
and
we
have
hey
and
Kim
with
us.
P
All
right,
hi
everyone
I'm
hanging
pronoun.
She
hers,
found
okay,
cool
yeah
and
with
the
city
of
Boston
office
of
food
Justice
and
the
mission
of
the
office
is
to
establish
a
sustainable
resilient,
just
food
system
in
Boston.
P
So
last
year,
ofj,
which
is
what
our
office
is
called
the
short
short
term.
We
piloted
a
program
to
where
we
worked
with
five
local
organizations
to
build
280
raised
beds
for
a
food
and
secure
households
in
Boston,
and
this
year
we're
working
with
Boston's
Urban
ag
office,
which
is
called
grow
Boston
to
expand
this
program,
and
the
Raisman
program
is
going
to
work
for
the
next
few
years
and
will
provide,
and
it
will
be
provide
basically
local
food
sources
for
low-income
households
and
increase
the
increase
people's
capacity
around
gardening.
P
So
there
is
Nintendo
recipients
are
low
income,
food
and
secure
residents
in
Boston,
and
we're
really
excited
about
this
opportunity,
because
they'll
also
be
paired
with
gardening
education.
So
we
haven't
rolled
out.
There
will
be
an
application
that
we
can
share
with
Andrea.
P
We
haven't
rolled
that
out
yet
completely,
but
we
are
receiving
referrals
from
the
agency
commission
and
maybe
a
couple
other
CA
Department
departments
who
are
doing
facing
and
then
working
with
Health
Care
Centers,
who
are
doing
the
food
and
security
screening
that
way
and
we're
hoping
that
doing
this
doing
this
kind
of
targeted,
Outreach
we'll
make
sure
folks
who,
like
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
get
this
kind
of
resource,
are
able
to
access
it.
P
P
The
recipient's
home
address
must
be
based
in
Boston,
and
the
third
thing,
which
is
a
little
challenging,
is
that
resistance
either
need
to
have
permission
to
build
on
the
site
that
they
want
the
raised
bed
to
be
installed
at
or
they
need
to
like,
be
the
owners
of
their
property.
So
they
can
build
a
raised
bed.
P
I
think
we
still
want
to
hear
from
folks
who
want
to
grow,
but
maybe
either
don't
own
property
or
don't
have
that
from
from
their
landlord,
because
there's
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
increase
growing
capacity
in
Boston
for
residents,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
the
raised
bed
like
it's
essential
that
grow
lost
and
could
could
think
about
like
okay,
Community
make
more
sense
for
the
community,
and
so
there
I
don't
want
to
all
this
stuff
like
the
only
way
people
can
grow
in
Boston,
but
it's
just
one
option
and
for
this
option
for
doing
it
on
the
property
or
or
have
permission
to,
install
it,
and
because
the
timeline
folks
can
request
the
bed
first,
this
summer
summer,
2024
or
next
spring
20
or
December,
2023
or
next
spring
2024
and
we'll
start
with
us.
P
Greeting
applicants
in
May
and
early
June,
yeah,
so
I
think
that's
a
background.
I'll
definitely
send
along
a
fire.
That'll
be
translated
as
well
as
application.
The
application
question
has
a
question
about
accommodations,
I
think
last
year.
That
was
something
that
the
vendors
were
able
to
to
intubate
yeah.
That's
the
question
about
the
raised
beds.
Oh
raised
bed
is
instead
of
a
garden,
that's
like
in
the
ground.
It's
it's
like
a
growing
growing
space
that
is
elevated
above
the
ground
and
so
a
couple
things
like
ground.
P
There
are
times
on
the
lead
right
so
like
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
soil
that
people
are
growing
in
have
if
to
grow
food
in
so
it's
not
actually
in
the
ground
and
then
for
accessibility
reasons.
It
was
like
often
they
are
higher
off
of
that
and
I
think
I
think,
like
the
height
and
the
exact
size
that
we
determine
based
on
folk
needs
and
like
based
on
like
a
location
itself.
P
But
that's
what
everybody's
bed
is,
so
it
could
be
like
a
smaller
I,
don't
even
know
where
a
right,
the
rape
dimensions
are,
but
it's
something
where
you
can
grow
a
good
amount
of
food
in,
but
off
the
ground,
that's
accessible
to
folks
in
the
way
that
they
need
it.
Yeah
I,
won't,
say
also
I,
think
we're
exceeding
the
invitation
to
me
organization.
P
So
if
folks
themselves
don't
have
property
where
we
have
built
these
raised
beds
for
committee
boards
in
the
past,
who
have
opened
them
up
to
Carnegie
Corps,
the
the
community
that
they
serve
so
yeah,
that's
background.
I
will
leave
my
email
and
the.
P
Q
This
is
Wes.
Thank
you
so
much,
and
we
really
appreciate
you
being
here
and
to
speak
about
this.
Does
anybody
have
any
questions
for
high-end
high-end,
while
she's
here
Olivia
I,
see
you're
hand
raised
I?
Think
there
is
a
question
Olivia
did
you
have
a
question.
J
Yeah
I
put
my
question
in
the
chat.
I
was
wondering
whether
someone
can
maintain
a
raised
bed
for
someone
else
who
has
a
disability
who
can't
Garden
on
their
own.
P
I
think
there's
a
couple
ways
that
can
happen
either
it
could
be
a
community
plot
where,
like
a
commute,
org
is
maintaining
like
the
grounds
that
could
be
something
yeah,
I
think
there's
space
in
the
application,
where,
if
folks
want
to
put
that
information,
so,
like
then
I
think
I
think
the
question
for
us
mainly
is
like:
where
should
this
bed
go
so
like
and
then
how
it
utilized,
like?
P
That's,
definitely
I,
think
something
we
can
talk
about
and
like
I
think
it
would
depend
if,
if,
if
someone
already
had,
someone
goes
one
in
the
garden
feather
or
if
folks
would
need
like
external
support.
So
this
external
support
part
then
I
think
a
community
work
might
be
the
best
better
way
to
go.
Q
Q
I
have
to
tell
you
very
honestly
that
my
chairs
report
this
evening
will
be
short
and
sweet
because
I
actually
have
nothing
to
report.
So
there
you
go.
O
Thank
you,
Wes
I
believe
Andrea
is
going
to
share
the
slides.
O
Here
we
go
okay,
so,
as
you
can
see,
the
bear
is
squeezing
in
a
lot
of
coffee
hours
this
year.
It's
an
annual
tradition
that
the
mayor
does
Every
Spring
to
get
out
into
the
community
meet
folks
in
their
neighborhoods.
The
parks
department
gives
out
plants.
So
it's
a
great
event
where
you
can
come
out
meet
the
mayor
meet
other
City
officials,
a
lot
of
department
heads
will
attend.
My
staff
and
I
usually
attend
different
Coffee
hours.
O
They
are
in
most
neighborhoods
and
we
didn't
put
down
the
location,
but
there
is
a
website
where
you
can
get
more
information.
I
will
ask
one
of
my
staff
to
put
that
in
the
chat,
but
they
are
really
great
opportunities
to
get
out
and
have
some
face-to-face
time
with
your
local
officials.
So
I
would
encourage
everyone
to
attend,
especially
if
you
haven't
attended
before
so
again.
They
begin
May
2nd
and
they
run
through
June
21st,
and
you
can
see
the
neighborhoods
that
are
listed
here,
where
they
will
be
occurring.
O
And
while
Andrea's
doing
that,
you
can
see
that
Chris
moraski,
our
staff
specialist,
has
posted
the
link
to
the
Coffee
hours
in
the
chat
so
come
on
out
and
get
a
free
plant
and
meet
Mary
Wu.
Okay.
The
next
slide
talks
about
2023
disability,
commission
events,
things
that
my
department
is
working
on,
so
two
of
our
main
events
have
been
in
the
spring
and
summer.
O
The
spring
we
have
our
annual
disability
Community
forum,
so
that
is
scheduled
this
year
for
Thursday
May
11th,
it's
going
to
be
in
person
live
at
Suffolk,
University
law
school.
They
have
a
really
nice
large,
accessible
space
on
Tremont
Street,
very
close
to
Park
Street
station.
So
we
invite
you
all
to
come
out.
It's
on
Thursday
the
11th
from
2
to
3
30.,
we'll
also
have
a
virtual
option
so
watch
out
for
a
zoom
link
to
be
posted
soon.
O
This
is
like
I
said
it's
an
annual
session
for
residents
to
give
us
input
on
their
priorities
and
concerns.
It
helps
us
shape
our
agenda
for
the
next
year
of
what
we
need
to
work
on.
What's
working.
Well,
it's
a
great
chance
for
residents
to
come
out
again
and
meet
officials
face
to
face
and
get
to
give
direct
input.
The
mayor
usually
attends
many
staff
and
department
heads
attend
and
it's
traditionally
hosted
by
myself
and
The
Advisory
board,
so
I'll
send
an
email
out
after
tonight's
meeting
to
get
RSVPs
from
everybody.
O
But
if
you
haven't
attended
before
the
format
is
that
we
put
tables
up
front
in
a
conference
style
and
we
sit
at
the
front,
we
have
microphones
and
really
we
don't
do
too
much
presenting
the
only
thing
that
is
presented
is
I.
Go
over
the
annual
report
from
2022,
which
I've
compiled
and
just
to
give
kind
of
a
snapshot
of
the
things
at
the
department
and
the
board
has
worked
on
over
the
last
year.
So
I'll
give
overview
of
the
annual
report
and
then
we'll
really
just
listen
to
people's
comments.
It's
a
great
event.
O
O
I
know
it's
in
the
middle
of
the
work
day,
but
this
is
a
time
frame
that
we
figured
would
work
best
for
the
disability
community
and
if
you
can't
join
us,
live
you're
welcome
to
join
us
virtually
so
keep
that
date
in
mind
and
then
our
biggest
event
happens
every
summer
in
July
right
around
the
time
of
the
anniversary
of
the
Ada
passage,
so
this
year
will
be
July
18th
and
it's
going
to
be
Ada
day
it's
from
12
noon
to
2
p.m.
On
City,
Hall
Plaza.
O
This
will
be
our
first
year
on
the
newly
built
accessible
Plaza,
which
was
opened
up
for
business
as
usual
in
October.
So
it's
been
a
long
redesign
and
a
reconstruction
project
at
the
plaza.
But
now
it's
a
beautiful,
accessible
space,
so
we're
thrilled
to
host
Ada
day
in
this
space,
because,
as
many
of
you
may
remember,
previous
Renditions
of
the
Ada
celebration
have
been
on
cracked
bricks
and
you
know,
cracked,
concrete
and
just
very
non-ideal
conditions
for
accessibility,
so
we're
excited
to
kind
of
show
off
the
new
Plaza
and
celebrate
Ada
day.
O
If
you
haven't
been
there
before,
we
have
information
tables
from
disability
organizations
and
also
from
City
of
Boston
departments,
you
can
register
to
vote.
You
can,
you
know,
learn
about
Neighborhood
Services,
who
your
liaison
is.
We
have
organizations
like
bcil
and
Easter
sales
Spalding
sometimes
brings
adaptive
Rec
equipment,
it's
just
a
fun
celebration.
O
We
have
food
music,
t-shirts,
lots
of
time
for
socialized
and
we
also
have
a
speaking
program
where
we
recognize
an
outstanding
partner
in
accessibility
inclusion
from
the
last
year
and
this
year
we
have
a
special
edition,
we're
going
to
be
launching
our
Boston
breaks,
public
education
campaign
to
talk
about
the
intersection
of
pedestrians
and
pedestrians
with
disabilities
and
cyclists.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
jam-packed
event
and
we
hope
you
will
all
put
it
in
your
calendars
and
plan
to
attend
and
also
spread
the
word
to
your
communities
and
next
slide.
O
So
for
my
my
monthly
reports,
I
decided
to
change
my
format
a
little
bit
I'm
going
to
focus
on
one
main
update
every
month.
Instead
of
you
know,
trying
to
give
multiple
little
updates,
so
I'll
do
one
in-depth
update
every
month.
O
O
Sorry,
if
everyone
could
mute
mute,
that
would
be
great
so
this
month,
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
work
we're
doing
on
economic
Mobility
for
people
with
disabilities.
So
economic
Mobility
is
one
of
Mayor
Wu's
top
five
priorities,
and
it's
also
one
of
the
equity
and
inclusion
cabinets
main
three
top
priorities,
so
economic
Mobility
for
people
with
disabilities.
What
does
that
mean?
So?
As
we
know,
the
Ada
has
been
very
successful
in
making
a
lot
of
accessibility
improvements,
but
one
place
where
it
hasn't
done.
O
O
You
know
it's
just
a
lot
of
barriers
still
exist
in
this
realm,
so
we're
working
to
increase
systemic
accessibility
in
the
city
of
Boston
in
several
ways,
so
we're
looking
at
contracts
we're
looking
at
ways
to
support
disability
owned
businesses.
The
city
currently
has
a
priority
of
awarding
contracts.
They
look
at
minority-owned
businesses,
women-owned
businesses
and
we're
trying
to
get
a
priority
status,
a
potential
certification
for
disability,
owned
businesses
that
would
give
people
with
disabilities
who
own
their
own
businesses
a
better
shot
at
getting
a
city
contract
for
work.
O
So
that
would
be
something
that
we're
working
on
this
year.
We're
also
looking
at
reviewing
City
procurement
contracts
to
ensure
that
everything
we
purchase
is
ADA
Compliant.
This
would
be
something
like
say
a
website
like,
or
the
311
app.
We
usually
contract
out
to
different
vendors
for
things
like
that.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
language
is
clearly
spelled
out
in
our
contracts
that
any
products
they
deliver
to
us
have
to
be
ADA
Compliant,
so
something
like
the
311
app
would
have
to
be
compliant
to
a
screen
reader.
O
It
would
have
to
have
visual
contrast
that
would
work
for
somebody
with
low
vision
and
things
like
that.
So
that
sounds
like
a
simple
thing,
but
if
it's
not
written
into
the
contract
language,
it
could
potentially
get
missed.
So
these
are
the
type
of
systemic
access
issues
that
my
department
works
on.
O
So
it
will
have
a
big
impact
and
we're
pursuing
avenues
like
that
for
on
the
city
end,
we
also
have
worked
a
long
time
to
create
an
accessibility
toolkit,
and
this
is
meant
to
increase
accessibility
in
small
businesses
outside
of
the
city's
governance.
O
It's
meant
to
help
small
businesses
on
like
main
streets
and
organizations
and
non-profits,
so
we
created
a
pretty
robust
toolkit
and
we
actually
were
able
to
share
it
last
month
with
the
national
main
streets
conference
and
we're
rolling
it
out
internally
externally
in
Boston
through
Boston
main
streets,
the
city's
Department
of
Economic
Opportunity
inclusion
and
our
agency
partners.
So
the
toolkit
includes
several
different
checklists.
The
first
one
is
an
accessibility,
self-assessment
survey
for
businesses,
agencies
and
organizations.
This
is
a
really
simple
checklist.
It's
about
10
pages
long,
but
you
don't
need
to
be
an
architect.
O
You
don't
need
a
ruler.
You
don't
need
to
have
any
knowledge
in
order
to
complete
it.
It
asks
basic
things
like
is
the
front
entrance
of
your
business
accessible
and
you
can
check
yes,
no
things
like
it's
a
it's
a
sidewalk
in
front
of
your
agency
or
business
in
good
condition
or
is
a
cracked
or
broken.
So
then,
once
this
survey
is
complete,
we
offer
a
low-cost
free
and
low-cost
solutions
for
barrier
removal
tips.
O
This
is
some
things
that
they
can
do
for
free
on
low
cost
things
like
if
the
sidewalk
is
cracked
put
in
a
3-1-1
report
and
the
city
will
make
us
make
safe
repair
or
replace
the
sidewalk.
If
you
only
have
one
step
think
about
purchasing
a
portable
ramp,
so
a
real,
practical,
free
and
low-cost
solutions
to
improve
access.
We
also
have
guidelines
for
temporary
structures,
things
like
sidewalk
sales,
pop-up
events.
O
We
have
guidelines
available,
so
they
don't
end
up
in
the
middle
of
the
path
of
travel
so
that
there's
clearance
to
get
in
and
out
of
the
pop-up
tents
and
things
like
that.
Then
we've
created
meetings
and
accessibility,
checklist
in
Outreach
and
engagement
checklist.
These
are
both
internal
and
external.
We
give
them
out
to
City
departments
and
we
also
spread
them
out
to
the
public.
So
these
are
all
links
I,
invite
you
all
to
click
on
them
and
see
the
kind
of
work
we're
doing.
O
The
last
thing
we
do
is,
and
the
toolkit
is
tax
incentives
for
battery
removal,
and
this
is
something
that
businesses
and
agencies
can't
apply
for.
If
they
have
taken
steps
to
remove
areas,
they
can
apply
for
tax
incentives
and
one
other
thing
that
we're
working
on
I
didn't
get,
have
room
to
put
in
the
slide,
but
the
city
of
Cambridge
has
an
ordinance
that
requires
barrier
removal,
that's
readily
achievable
So.
Currently,
that
is
required
by
the
Ada
as
a
civil
right,
not
so
much
as
a
building
code,
but
as
a
civil
right.
O
Any
title
III
entities
which
are
businesses
are
required
to
remove
barriers
as
long
as
it's
readily
achievable.
However,
compliance
for
that
is
based
on
complaint,
so
someone
would
have
to
ask
oh
I
can't
get
into
this.
I
can't
get
off
this
threshold.
Could
you
please
buy
a
threshold
ramp
and
then
the
company
would
be
the
business
would
be
obligated
to
remove
that
barrier.
However,
the
Cambridge
ordinance
makes
it
proactive
that
stores
have
to
identify
barriers
and
remove
them
as
long
as
it's
readily
achievable.
O
So
we're
looking
at
a
potential
language
for
an
ordinance
on
that
and
then
also
Cambridge
has
a
grant
program
that
gives
a
matching
grant
for
businesses
that
do
improve
access
so
we're
at
the
very
beginning
stages
of
these
conversations.
But
those
are
two
other
things
we're
working
on
for
economic
mobility
in
the
coming
year.
O
So
that's
it
from
my
report.
I
just
like
I
said:
I
wanted
to
do
a
deep
dive
on
kind
of
one
project
that
we're
working
on
every
month.
I
know.
Last
month
we
talked
about
the
disability
commissions
across
the
country
that
we
work
with
so
this
month.
I
wanted
to
update
you
on
economic
mobility
and
I'm
happy
to
take
questions.
D
O
So
if
it's
a
title,
III
business-
and
it
has
like
one
step-
or
things
like
that-
or
anything
that
can
be
solved
with
our
free
and
low
cost
Solutions-
that
would
certainly
increase
employment
opportunities
for
businesses,
but
I
know
separately
that
Disability
Advocates,
including
those
in
my
office
and
mayor
Wu,
have
gotten
behind
the
state
legislation
that
will
update
the
a
b
regulations
to
include
accessible
employee
areas,
because
right
now,
they're
not
included
under
aab.
They
are
part
of
ADA
but
they're,
not
part
of
aab.
So
that's
a
great
Point.
O
N
I
think
thank
you
for
your
update.
Commissioner.
I
have
two
quick
questions,
one
of
them
for
the
self-assessment
tool,
so
that's
just
something
an
agency
could
choose
to
do
internally.
N
In
other
words,
if
it
pertains
to
businesses
or
agencies
that
already
exist
and
just
kind
of
as
an
FYI
or
I
would
I
guess
what
I'm
trying
to
think
of
is
some
agencies
or
organizations
meet
those
criteria
they
might
be
more
willing
to
take.
You
know
to
look
that
over
but
be
satisfied
with
where
they
are,
but
I
I'm
just
wondering
how
that
works
or
how
that's
is
there
an
educational
piece
or
what
yeah?
How
does
that
work
in
other
settings?
That's.
O
A
great
question:
yeah,
that's
a
great
great
question:
Andrea.
Would
you
be
able
to
pull
up
the
checklist
just
the
first
paragraph,
so
you
could
refer
to
that,
because
that
kind
of
gives
a
good
explanation
of
the
the
reasoning
and
the
the
ideas
of
the
checklist
if
you're
not
able
to
that's
fine,
but
basically
the
idea
came
to
us
because
a
lot
of
city
of
Boston
departments
give
out
grant
money.
Things
like
the
Arts
commission
gives
out
many
grants
to
different
artists
and
different
Arts
communities,
different
programs
in
Boston.
O
So
during
compensation
a
couple
years
ago
with
the
Arts
commission,
I
asked
about
the
accessibility
of
the
venues
that
they
give
grants
to,
and
they
really
didn't
know
about
what
the
access
was.
So
I
said
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
figure
out
a
way
to
assess
the
access
and
monitor
it.
So
this
is
the
first
page.
So
it's
a
really
good
explanation.
So
this
survey
is
intended
to
help
agencies,
organizations
and
businesses
identify
existing
barriers
that
may
prevent
people
with
disabilities
from
participating.
O
Once
the
barriers
are
identified,
you
may
be
able
to
make
free
and
low-cost
changes
which
we
can
help
identify,
and
then
they
can
also
start
thinking
about
longer
term
plans
around
ADA
compliance.
We
asked
them
to
take
a
look
around
this
space
before
they
begin
the
survey
just
so
they
have
an
idea
of
like
what
the
front
door
looks
like
what
the
bathroom
looks
like,
and
then
we
do
want
to
make
it
clear
that
the
survey
is
intended
only
for
their
benefit
in
use.
O
O
So
if
the
outs
commission
gives
out
10
money
grants
a
year,
we
awesome
to
distribute
this
survey
along
with
the
grant
funding
to
have
their
agencies
that
they
work
with
fill
it
out,
share
with
the
Arts
commission
and
then
us
and
then
just
keep
it
for
themselves.
So
it's
definitely
an
education
component.
O
It's
also
a
chance
for
them
to
stop
thinking
about
access,
and
it
will
give
the
Arts
commission
and
us
a
sense
of
how
accessible
the
programming
is
that
we
are
working
with,
and
it
can
also
potentially
again
beginning
stages,
which
is
rolling
it
out
now,
but
we
could
think
about
ways
to
offer
incentives.
You
know
to
hopefully
improve
access
and
another
organization
we
want
to
roll
this
out
with
is
like
the
Freedom
Trail
like
they
have
a
number
of
churches.
They
have
a
number
of
museums.
O
There
are
just
you
know,
houses
and
other
buildings
along
the
Freedom
Trail,
but
there's
no
chat
really
that
tells
how
accessible
those
places
are.
So
this
would
be
a
great
place
for
them
to
self-assess
in
plenty
of
big
businesses
that
are
on
the
trail.
Like
you
know
the
old
self
meeting
house
or
the
Paul
Revere
House,
we
know
that
big
organizations
institutions
think
about
access
and
have
Ada
Specialists.
This
is
really
more
for,
like
smaller
non-profits,
who
don't
have
a
lot
of
money
just
to
help
them
kind
of
think
about
it.
O
N
Okay
and
thank
you
and
Miss
there
I'm
any
non-incentive,
non-monitor
I
know
you
mentioned
about
that.
There
might
be
some
sources
of
funding
or
you
could
help
directly
into
it.
Otherwise
is
there
any
other
even
being
able
to
maybe
deciding
happens
but
say
having
the
universal
wheelchair
above
those
signs
or
something,
but
that
that
may
not
that
that
was
especially
if
you're
talking
about
visibility
or
the
social
media
or
things
like
that
other
other
ways
that
consumers
have
benefit.
O
Yeah
I
would
really
encourage
everyone
to
look
at
all
the
links,
because
in
the
accessibility
meetings
and
events
checklists
and
the
Outreach,
the
Outreach
and
engagement
could
be
for
City
departments
as
well
as
businesses
and
on
those
checklists
we
say
like.
Does
your
web
page
contain
information
on
accessibility?
Do
you
use
the
accessibility
symbol
like
in
your
window
or
on
your
you
know
in
your
Outreach
on
Twitter?
If
you've
done
an
assessment,
like
you
know,
do
you
promote
that?
O
Do
you
Market
your
things
to
people
with
disabilities,
so
there's
all
kinds
of
tips
and
tools
to
encourage
people
to
do
that,
but
yeah
again
I
would
encourage
you
to
look
at
all
the
links,
because
it's
I
think
it
will
be
pretty
helpful
and
also
we
have
worked
with
age
strong.
They
have
what
they
call
age-friendly,
Austin
I,
think
I.
Think
Andrea
has
worked
on
this
a
little
bit.
Do
you
want
to
give
a
brief
overview
of
that.
A
Sure,
thanks,
commissioner
yeah
age
friendly,
so
age,
friendly
Boston
is
a
big
part
of
the
age
strong
commission's
work,
one
of
their
particular
projects,
is
called
an
age
friendly
business
designation.
So
they
get
a
list
of
I'm
making
up
numbers
here.
But
let's
say
it's
25
items
that
they
can
pick
from
and
as
long
as
they
do,
10
of
them
or
15
of
them.
I
forget
exactly
what
the
numbers
are.
They
can
receive
an
age
friendly
business
designation.
A
So
what
that
means
is
some
signage
in
their
shop.
You
know
at
the
door
they
get
listed
on
the
age
strong
commissions
website
as
an
age
friendly
business,
and
that
includes
a
number
of
different
things,
including
actually
before
the
captions
are
dense,
was
passed.
It
included
having
captions
turned
on
automatically
on
their
television
if
they
had
one.
So
that
is
the
age
friendly
business
designation
program.
O
D
Great,
and
also
are
there
any
other
questions
here
with
a
commissioner
to
respond
to
her
report.
Anyone
else
have
questions
for
the
commissioner.
D
N
N
So
you
and
the
commissioner
can
help
me
sort
that
out
Wesley,
but
it
had
to
at
the
end,
when
you
were
mentioning
the
commissioner
about
the
issue
of
workspaces
for
employees
with
disabilities,
that
comes
up
I'm
really
at
the
state
legislature
and
still
hasn't
been
I've
done
it
for
now,
at
the
two
decade
mark
about
20
years
of
trying
to
get
that
passed.
But
I
was
curious
to
know
and
I,
don't
know
if
Carl
Wilson
might
be
able
to
and
give
some
help
of
what.
N
How
that
looks
for
what
what
we
might
be
thinking
ahead
for
our
participation
in
the
next
session
of
the
legislature
for.
G
For
that
bill.
O
O
It
just
seems,
like
you
know,
a
no-brainer
to
most
of
us,
but
unfortunately,
some
of
the
the
real
estate
groups
have
strong
lobbying
power
and
can
push
back
about
some
of
these
regulations.
So
again
we
will
be
involved
once
it
comes
up.
I,
don't
know
if
Carl's
on,
if
he
knows
his
status
or
Andrea
I'm,
Not,
In,
The,
Weeds
on
dates
and
filing
things
like
that.
But
if
Carol
Andrea,
you
know,
please
feel
free
to
jump
in.
A
This
is
Andrea,
I
haven't
seen
Carl
unmute,
so
what
I'll
say
is
I
have
not
tracked
this
particular
bill
number
in
the
new
session.
If
I
had
to
guess,
because
I
know
that
the
sponsors
and
authors
are
still
in
the
House
and
Senate
the
ones
who've
been
reintroducing
it
every
year
are
still
in
office.
My
guess
would
be
that
they
have
reintroduced
it.
A
A
lot
of
bills
have
been
assigned
to
committee
lately,
so
it
may
or
may
not
be
in
committee,
but
we're
still
in
early
stages
and
about
to
enter
budget
season.
So
my
guess
is:
it
isn't
scheduled
to
have
a
hearing
anytime
soon,
but
I
will
triple
check
all
those
numbers
and
work
with
Carl
to
have
an
update
at
the
next
board
meeting.
O
And
we
work
closely
with
our
intergovernmental
relations
office,
which
is
the
office
that
works
with
the
different
government
bodies
because
we're
strictly
like
mayor's
office
staff.
So
we
have
to
go
through
igr
to
work
with
the
city
council
or
our
state
Partners
or
our
federal
Partners.
So
we
worked
very
closely
with
igr
to
pick
out
the
bills
that
we
want
to
prioritize
for
the
mayor,
and
certainly
this
is
one
that
we
prioritize
every
year
and
the
mayor
always
signs
off
on
it
and
writes
a
letter
in
support
of
it
so
yeah.
N
E
Yes,
just
a
brief
question,
commissioner:.
E
How
is
do
have
we
got
any
feedback
on
the
on
how
businesses
are
are
taking
to
the
captioning
ordinance,
I
I
know
initially,
you've
thought
feedback
was
good,
but
I
just
didn't
know.
If
we've
had
added
an
update.
You
know
a
few
months
more
in.
O
Yes,
so
we
haven't
done
any
sort
of
official
surveying
or
anything
like
that.
A
business
says
we
haven't
received
any
complaints,
which
is
a
good
sign
and
now,
when
I'm
out
and
about
I
sort
of
take
it
for
granted,
like
I,
was
out
to
brunch,
Sunday
and
I
just
noticed
halfway
through
it
that
the
TV
had
captions
and
the
only
reason
I
noticed
it
was
because
I
was
actively
reading
the
captions
to
I,
just
like
to
listen
to
the
news
and
then
I
realized
like
oh,
my
God,
this
caption's
on.
O
So
it
seems
to
me
like
I've,
every
place
I've
gone
into,
they
are
abiding
by
the
ordinance,
but
anything
I
could
say
would
be
anecdotal
at
this
point.
I
did
have
it
on
my
agenda
to
Circle
back
with
Andrea
next
week
to
talk
about
either
some
more
Outreach
to
businesses
or
a
potential
survey.
But
as
far
as
I
understand,
we
haven't
received
any
complaints
and
it
looks
like
a
lot
of
businesses
are
in
compliance.
Andrew.
Do
you
have
anything
to
add
to
that.
A
The
only
I
guess
I
do
have
one
thing,
which
is
the
business
card
that
we
are
getting
printed
to
give
members
of
the
public
to
have
in
their
wallet
to
show
a
business
if
they
see
that
it's
doesn't
have
their
captions
on
is
in
progress,
so
that
is
still
happening
just
caught
in
the
the
procurement
deadlines.
E
This
is
Jerry
again
that
that
will
be
a
very
useful
tool
and
it's
a
good
sign
that
that
there
have
been
no
no
complaints
and
it's
good.
It's
good,
just
from
anecdotal
evidence
that
that
you
see
that
businesses
are
are
having
captions
on.
So
that's
great.
Q
Yeah,
this
is
what
I'm
thinking
about
the
captioning
ordinance
as
well.
I
have
noticed
actually
very
few
places
that
are
not
in
compliance,
which
is
also
a
good
thing.
I've
been
I
can
see.
You
know,
places
where
I've
gone
to
see
out
the
window.
Q
For
example,
places
I
haven't
gone
into,
I
know
that
there
are
some
locations
that
are
going
to
need
to
be
gently,
nudged
or
let
not
so
gently
done,
but
I
have
seen
a
lot
of
restaurants
in
the
North
End,
particularly
that
have
the
captions
on
so
I
think.
That's
terrific
I
Echo
everyone's
sentiments
about
that.
Q
Okay,
being
none
commissioner
makash.
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
report.
We
will
move
on.
We
have
the
architectural
access
report
by
Patricia
Mendes.
A
This
is
Andrea
I.
Think
Patricia
was
unable
to
join
tonight
with
technical
difficulties,
but
I
know
what
she
had
planned
to
say
was.
Thank
you
to
the
members
of
the
board
who
joined
the
advanced,
cam
training,
the
acam
training.
A
I
know
we
found
it
really
helpful.
We
hope
you
all
did
as
well.
If
there
are
other
trainings
that
you
would
like,
let
us
know,
and
if
you
would
like
to
use
your
newly
trained
selves
and
and
do
a
subcommittee
of
this
board
to
look
at
architectural
access
issues.
I
know
Wes
gets
the
variance
applications
for
Boston
applicants.
A
I
So
you
know,
I
I
think
we
all
recognize
that
mental
health
is
also
a
disability
challenge
that
people
face
and
on
May
6th,
which
is
the
beginning
of
Children's
Mental,
Health,
Awareness
Week,
the
Baker
Center
for
Children
and
Families
is
having
a
a
walkathon.
If
you
will
on
field
or
field
at
the
Esplanade,
it's
a
Saturday,
it's
a
family-friendly
event.
Kids
are
invited,
it's
very
modestly,
priced
at
up
to
25
dollars.
Students
are
fifteen
dollars
and
those
who
are
18
or
under
are
ten
dollars
to
attend.
I
It
sounds
like
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
fun,
ding,
a
lot
of
activities
for
children.
There
is
a
1K
opportunity
to
walk
roll
or
run
a
5k
opportunity.
I
It
should
be
very
nice
and
it
would
be
a
way
for
the
commission
to
the
extent
and
if
you
are
interested
in
attending
to
make
our
imprint
a
little
bit
on
the
mental
health
challenges
of
children,
which
of
course,
they're
they're,
the
Next
Generation-
that
we
need
to
care
about
and
I
think.
We
all
know
how
mental
health
is.
Unfortunately,
the
stepchild
of
the
Health
Care
industry,
so
I
think
anything
we
can
do
and
highlight
that,
especially
for
kids
is
pretty
laudable.
I
Q
Q
So
I
have
some
four
items
that
I
wanted
to
discuss
under
old
business.
The
first
one
is
accessible,
Health,
Care.
Q
Everything
just
one
second,
okay,
so
I
know
we
have
had
this
conversation.
Last
month
we
talked
about
it.
It
came
up
during
our
conversation
and
I
thought.
What
I
would
do
is
recap
the
conversation
that
we
had
in
February.
Q
N
Okay,
thank
you.
This
is
Elizabeth
Dean
Crowley
I
wanted
to
I,
I,
guess
two
questions.
N
One
is
there
had
we
also
discussed
identifying
which
of
the
Napier
hospitals
were
I,
don't
know
if
there's
other
health
facilities
that
have
it
but
which
have
I'm
somebody
who
helps
an
office
like,
for
instance,
sarees
over
at
MGH,
which
of
the
other
men,
major
medical
centers,
have
somebody
either
recognized
I,
don't
know
the
the
terminology
might
differ
place
to
place,
but
there
that,
although
there's
often
for
larger
hospitals
at
least
have
patient
advocacy.
N
But
then
in
Mass
generals
cases
are
has
specific
expertise
for
accessibility
and
I.
Don't
know
if
we
have,
if
there's
a
way
with
that,
the.
N
Has
been
corrected
or
available,
but
I
was
wondering,
as
that
was
one
question,
but
I'm
stepping
back
is.
Is
there
a
way
to
have
internal
thing
to
be
there
if
it
was
going
to
be
people
gathering
in
a
location
to
as
important
as
it
might
be,
for
people
to
tell
their
short
stories
share
their
story,
but
with
some
either
people
in
the
room
who
have
expertise
or
some
professional
guidance
on
in
others?
N
There's
components
of
both
I
can
see
rather
than
having
it
who
there
are
I
think
if
people
are
sharing
information
but
or
stories,
but
without
some
better,
some
at
least
unified
way
of
collecting
that
information.
What
categories
that
falls
into
what
people
in
the
room?
Who
can
help
direct
them
towards
things
like
professionals,
at
that
those
institutions
or
in
the
community
who
could
help
them
access
that
separately?
N
I'm
just
wondering
if
I
was
trying
to
remember
you
know,
with
a
little
more
particular
and
or
specificity
there,
where
we
left
off
in
that
way.
That
I
think
it's
important
after
Dr
Lisa
isoni's
presentation
to
think
of
ways
to
make
that
experience
for
people
with
various
disabilities
in
Healthcare
settings
more
accessible
in
the
ways
they
needed
to,
but
have
it
be
somewhere
where
it
makes
forward
progress,
Ive
the
individuals
with
disabilities,
as
well
as
the
institutions
or
offices.
Thank
you.
O
So
Elizabeth,
yes,
you
you
asked
if
I
knew
of
any
I
did
work
closely
with
bcil
over
10
years
ago
now
we
came
up
with
agreements
with
Boston
Medical
Center,
Mass,
General,
Brigham
and
Women's.
Tufts
was
not
a
part
of
that,
but
I'm,
assuming
with
such
a
big
hospital,
is
tough.
O
They
probably
also
do
have
someone
who
pays
attention
to
accessibility,
but
I
know
Bill
Henning
did
a
lot
of
work
on
this
with
bcil
I'm,
not
sure
if
Jerry
was
involved
in
that,
but
you
know
Lisa
I
believe
she's
still
on
the
board
at
bcil,
Dr,
izoni
and
so
yeah.
I
know
that
bill
has
a
lot
of
this
information.
O
I,
don't
know
if
I
think
we
mentioned
before
having
him
come
and
talk,
but
just
on
one
personal
note
you
mentioned
like
big
hospitals
and-
and
it
really
is
across
the
board,
because
I
had
a
very
negative
experience
recently
and
it
was
at
not
even
a
clinic.
It
was
like
a
lab.
I
just
went
to
get
like
a
blood
draw
and
the
access
was
like
was
not
good
and
the
treatment
as
far
as
like
non-discrimination
treatment
was
not
good.
N
And
had
her
own
situation
of
lack
of
access,
but
you're
right
I
should
step
back
I,
guess
the
reason
I
still
thought
of
the
big
hospitals
and
would
be
interested
to
know
if
the
work
of
Bill
had
any
Mothers
at
bcio.
If
there's
any
update
to
some
of
those
like
I
I
could
ask
about
Tufts
I
I've
worked
with
faculty
over
there
at
the
medical
school,
but
it
doesn't
happen
to
be
a
it's
not
where
I
get
medical
care.
N
So
I
I
don't
know
that
status
myself
at
the
medical
center,
but
I
I
agree
with
you.
It's
often
these
other
offices
and
Clinics
and
many
Specialties
that
even
have
components
that
are
recognizingly
going
to
affect
people
with
certain
disabilities.
N
I'll
use
the
example
of
Mobility
impairments
or
people
who
have
some
kind
of
balance,
issues
that
you
know
not
having
any
rooms
that
have
exam
tables
that
that
have
a
raised
lower
function,
but
that
anyone
with
disability
with
a
disability
of
whichever
kind,
also
needs
to
have
care
across
the
board,
not
only
primary
care
but
could
need
to
have.
N
Q
Is
this
Wes
Richard
go
ahead.
I
I
I
E
Yes,
thank
you
Wes
for
bringing
this
issue
up
again.
I
think
I
was
the
one
who
who
suggested
getting
Gathering
stories
from
our
communities,
either
in
a
large
group
or
or
separately.
This
was
based
on
a
discussion
that
I
had
after
Dr
ozoni's
talk
with
both
her
and
separately
with
Bill
Bill
Henning
from
bcil.
E
The
one
thing
that
he
did
say
a
challenge
is
that
that
a
lot
of
times
people
do
not
want
to
share,
maybe
because
of
the
intimacy
of
of
the
doctor-patient
relationship
that
people
do
not
want
to
share
their
personal
experiences
so
that
that
may
be
something
that
we
encounter.
E
If
we,
if
we
decided
to
do
a
forum,
that's
why
I
did
like
the
idea
of
of
of
having
some
professionals,
maybe
guide
the
discussion
or
or
there
to
support
folks
who,
who
do
talk
I
like
either
idea
myself
getting
a
form
together,
or
you
know,
getting
getting
some
literature
together
or
or
I.
Don't
remember
exactly
what
the
second
idea
there
is,
but
I
would
support
I
would
support
either
one,
but
I
also
agree
that
I
think
this
is
a.
This
is
a
major
issue
that
that
we
could.
Q
You
know
sharing
those
very
intimate
issues
and
I
think
that
the
other
suggestion
about
having
you
know
some
informative
literature
available
for
people,
some
informational
tools,
so
maybe
there's
ways
for
people
to
fill
out
some
complaint
forms
or
fill
out
some
paperwork
to
submit
their
complaints
without
having
to
share
in
such
a
public
forum
that
might
be
a
useful
tool
for
them
also
to
to
get
their
thoughts
out
without
and
subjecting
themselves
to
a
lack
of
privacy.
Commissioner,
go.
O
N
Foreign,
given
the
nature
of
my
disability,
I
I
worked
at
Dana
Barber
in
a
not
as
a
clinician
but
I'm
doing,
Education
and
Research
for
patients
and
that
they're
even
there
there
were
some
problems
that
I
knew
I
couldn't
access.
N
If
I
wanted
to
go
in
certain
locations,
I
would
need
to
certain
elevators
and
not
others,
because
there
were
stairs
involved,
but
that
professionally
is
was
the
imitation
of
where
I
was
working
in
my
setting,
but
certainly
the
way
my
unfortunate
just
the
way
my
own
Health
Care
situation
has
evolved.
N
It's
it's
fragmented
across
the
city,
partly
based
on
expertise
and
some
Physicians
moving
locations,
so
I
certainly
personally
can
attest
that
a
number
of
these
are
outpatient,
clinics
or
or
are
I
guess
even
more
of
a
friend
of
reference
of
hospital-based
outpatient
clinics.
Do
not
have
things
I'm,
not
talking
about
for
people
in
wheelchairs
or
who
can't
stand
on
a
conventional
standing
scale
that
doesn't
have
root
even
at
a
sitting.
N
Scale
or
a
lift
style
scale
to,
for
instance,
get
an
accurate
weight,
but
even
today,
in
2023
major
Hospital
departments
for
things
like
GI
or
Primary
Care
do
not
have
that
capability,
nor
just
Dermatology
to
do
a
full,
a
full
body
exam.
So
yes,
intimate
in
a
sense
Gary
of
what
you're
describing,
but
that
really,
if
you're
going
to
do
a
full
body
skin
check,
there
are
ways
that
can
be
done
on
somebody's
on
somebody.
You
know
in
a
chair
who
can
be
lifted
onto
a
table
that
you
have
to
go.
O
D
Okay,
Wes
is
saying:
Olivia
I
think
will
take
your
question
comment
and
then
we'll
have
to
wrap
this
up
and
move
on
Olivia.
J
It
might
be
useful
to
rope
in
the
Boston
Public
Health
commission
on
something
we
do
considering.
They've
got
the
teeth
when
it
comes
to
hospitals
in
Boston
and
Clinics
and
health
care
in
Boston,
but
also
I'm
thinking
of
an
individual
named
NASA
or
Nicholas,
who
is
works
at
Department
of
Public
Health
on
disability
action.
D
D
D
Tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
all
the
ways
that
bcil
is
set
up,
for
you
know
people
to
be
able
to
share
their
story,
so
that
might
be
a
good
next
step
for
us
to
maybe
host
that
sort
of
forum
or
some
sort
of
event
that
the
commission
could
maybe
publish
with
a
list
of
Patient
Advocates
advocacy
materials,
and
we
could
share
that
information
widely
onto
the
community.
A
This
is
Andrea
yep
I
think
we
can
definitely
put
the
invite
to
bill
and
start
collecting
all
the
information
about
those
Patient
Advocates
together.
D
Okay,
so
next
I
would
I'm
sorry
did
I
see.
I
do
see
a
hand,
Jerry
go
ahead.
I
do
want
to
keep
going
but
go
ahead.
E
Sorry
about
that
muting
and
unmuting
again
so
I
just
want
to
be
clear
on
next
step.
Is
that
you'd
like
us
as
a
commission,
to
host
some
sort
of
community
event
or
you'd
like
to
bring
in
bill
first
or
or
how
are
we
moving
forward.
D
D
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
I
think
it
would
be.
It
would
be
nice
if
we
could
have
an
open,
caption
effort,
move
to
move
forward
and
I've
asked
for
some
screenshots
in
order
to
show
to
give
some
proof
that
these
movie
theater
seat
that
the
movie
theater
seats
are
at
capacity
when,
when
there's
open,
captions
just
to
sort
of
show
that
that's
not
an
issue.
D
D
Also,
some
of
you
have
asked
about
open
audio
description
and
yeah
I
I,
don't
see
I,
don't
think
we
have
any
research
that
says
that
gives
us
a
picture
of
what's
Happening
and
I.
Don't
know
if
there
are
any
I,
don't
see
any
current
theaters
that
actually
have
this
tool,
and
so
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
worth
the
effort
to
try
to
also
include
the
request
for
open
audio
description.
D
I
Boss,
what
exactly
when
you're
talking
about
open
caps-
and
you
mean
the
same
kind
of
thing-
that
you
know
we
now
have
in
bars
and
restaurants
and
televisions-
is
that
what
you're
talking
about.
D
Yes,
sort
of
it's
sort
of
like
that.
Actually,
in
movie
theaters,
open
captions
means
that
the
captions
are
open
to
the
movie
goers
everywhere.
So
it
doesn't
matter
where
you
sit
in
the
theater.
There
are
open
captions
that
make
the
theater
make
the
movie
accessible
for
everybody.
I
D
I
A
I'm
sure
I
could
find
it
of
all
the
theaters
in
Greater
Boston
that
provide
closed
captioning
to
the
hearing,
impair.
D
D
Some
movie
houses
do
have
closed
captioning
available
and
they
provide
the
patron
with
a
thing
called
like
it's
a
hand,
Shield
it's
like
a
handheld
device
that
they
place
at
their
seat
and
for
deaf
and
hard
of
hearing
people
to
watch
the
large
screen
and
have
this
small
device
with
these
captions
at
the
bottom.
It's
really
uncomfortable.
It's
really
awkward.
It's
not
what
deaf
people
really
want.
Deaf
or
hard
of
hearing
people
want.
H
D
Well,
there's
there
are
a
lot
of
there's
a
number
of
reasons
why
people
resist
some
are
shown
some
some
open
caps.
Some
movies
do
show
open
captions
and
some
theaters.
Don't
they
don't
provide
that
and
so
I
think
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
movie
theaters
that
do
provide
some
form
of
access.
D
So
that's
really
the
main
point.
Okay,
let
me
this
is
Carl.
I
seek
I
I
had
identified
commissioner
makosh
to
go
next,
but
I
don't
know
Carl.
Do
you
want
to
follow
up
yeah
Kyle?
Why
don't
you
go
second,
sorry,
Carl?
Why
don't
you
go
ahead?
Yeah.
K
Complaints
on
a
weekly
basis
from
members
of
the
deaf
and
Hardy
and
Community
is
that
the
staff
at
movie
theater
because
of
the
nature
of
the
staff
being
I
turn
over,
don't
know
how
to
use
the
equipment,
don't
know
how
to
maintain
it.
It
can
be
awkward,
it
doesn't
often
work
or
open.
Captioning
are
like
subtitle
that
have
been
seen
at
all
times
of
that
and
I
think
for
many
deaf
and
Hardy
here,
and
it
it
preferable.
K
I
will
tell
you,
though,
and
I'm
not
saying
I
I
tend
to
agree
with
the
deaf
and
Hardy
Community
I'm
prefer
an
open
caption,
but
I
will
tell
you
that
the
movie
theaters
will
show
some
resistant
because
they
think
they're
already
meeting
obligation
under
Department
of
Justice
guideline
and
they're
afraid
of
losing
deserts.
K
Who
don't
want
to
see
that
the
open
caption
as
far
as
open
audio
description,
I
have
I
personally,
would
love
it,
but
I
know
that's
going
to
be
a
much
harder
battle
to
fight,
because
there
was
no
theater
that
is
currently
doing
open
description
anywhere
that
I'm
aware
of,
but
maybe
we
can
ask
for
other
things.
If
we
don't
win
that
battle,
the
equipment
often
does
not
work.
K
The
staff
is
not
trained.
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
times
as
a
blind
person
I've
gone
through
in
the
theater
and
I've,
asked
the
audio
description
devices
and
they
give
me
Caption
glasses
death,
because
they're
not
trained
as
required
by
doj
guidelines
and
laws,
they're
not
trained,
they
don't
promote
it
and
the
equipment
often
doesn't
work.
K
So,
even
if
we
can't
get
open
audio
description,
I
do
think
we
should
ask
that
at
least
a
handful
of
theaters
in
Boston
to
train
their
staff
on
all
the
accessible
accessibility
features
from
captioning
to
audio
description
to
whatever,
and
it
would
be
very
easy
for
the
theater
to
be
able
to
do
open
captioned,
because
when
they
nowadays,
they
download
what
they
call
a
packet
from
the
movie
studio
and
in
that
packet
of
what's
called
atha
and
in
the
asset,
our
caption
and
file
audio
description
files,
in
some
cases,
alternative
language
files,
and
they
simply
have
a
switch
where
they
can
conflict
in
their
computer
settings
that
they
option
versus
close.
K
If
it's
closed,
they
run
that
file
and
Wesley's
ready
to
get
the
individual
invite
if
it's
open,
if
it
looks
just
like
subtitle,
do
for
a
film
foreign
language
film,
so
I
support,
roughly
approach.
I
just
think
we
ought
to
have
a
little
bit
of
this
might
be
a
harder
ask
than
than
the
open
caps
than
the
open
caption
for
television,
because
that
was
simply
looking
on
a
switch
on
your
TV
set
on
a
remote
control.
This
is
the
parents
would
argue,
would
fundamentally
change
what
they're
trying
to
do.
K
I,
don't
necessarily
agree
with
them.
I'm.
Just
saying
this
will
be
a
hard
to
ask,
but
I
do
think
we
should
be
aware
of
take
that
then
Wesley
has
pointed
out.
The
AMC
is
already
partially
shown
some
open,
caption
title
I'm
happy
to
thank
Andrea
a
link
to
what
the
current
and
existing
rules
are.
We
got
a
movie
theater
under
Department
of
Justice,
which
started
in
2016.
K
D
Thank
you
Carl
and
I.
Also,
the
purpose
of
this
effort
would
be
because
in
other
cities
and
States
they've
already
passed
open
caption
laws
for
movie
houses,
so
I
was
hoping
that
Boston
could
be
one
of
those
cities
all
right.
Commissioner
I'm
going
to
give
you
the
floor
next
and
then
we
will
go
to.
Oh,
then
I'll,
give
this
photo
Elizabeth
for
her
comment
or
question.
O
Great
I
have
a
three
the
comments.
So,
first
of
all,
when
I
know
Richard,
you
mentioned
Greater
Boston
having
a
list,
but
we
would
only
actually
have
impact
in
Boston
itself,
City
of
Austin,
proper
and
I.
Think
somebody
mentioned
that
we
only
have
two
movie
theaters
right
now
in
Boston,
which
is
almost
kind
of
sad,
but
so
regarding
those
two
theaters,
my
office
has
a
tool
that
we
use.
We
call
it
the
do.
O
O
We
send
these
letters
just
to
remind
them
of
their
obligations
onto
Ada
title
III,
so
I
could
potentially
compose
a
letter
just
to
speak
to
what
Kyle
mentioned,
like
you
know,
make
sure
your
staff
is
trained
on
captioning
and
everything
else
talk
about
the
the
files
that
they
get
the
assets.
That
would
be
interesting
in
Kyle
I'd
like
to
learn
more
about
that.
So,
like
I
said,
we
send
these
letters
frequently
enough,
so
we
could
think
about
having
me
send
a
letter
and
then
other
than
that.
O
I
also
wanted
to
say
that
I
had
one
other
thing
to
say.
You
know:
I
just
lost
my
train
of
thought.
Oh,
if
the
board
wanted
to
to
vote
to
write
a
letter
as
well.
Oh
yeah,
the
other
thing
I
was
going
to
say
is
we
did
reach
out
to
the
city
of
Boston
Commissioner
of
Parks
and
Recreation,
to
ask
about
the
outdoor
movies
that
they
show
they
don't
currently
have
captions.
So
we're
haven't
tried
to
have
a
discussion
to
talk
through
any
ways
that
we
could
potentially
have
those
captioned
as
well.
Q
Okay,
this
is
Wes
Elizabeth
you
had
mentioned,
or
excuse
me
before
we
go
to
Elizabeth.
Somebody
mentioned
two
movie
theaters
in
Boston.
Is
that
the
number
that
we
have
in
Boston
currently
I.
O
Believe
it's
done:
Tremont
Street
and
South
Bay,
two
AMC's
I,
believe
that's
all
that's
left
in
Boston.
Q
S
Q
Think
AMC
will
be,
as
I
mentioned,
they'll
be
opening
a
new
location
in
in
North
Station
and
the
Alamo
Drafthouse
a
new
movie
theater
in
Seaport.
So
that
means
instead
of
we'll
be
looking
at
four,
two
of
which
are,
you
know,
on
the
work
in
the
works
to
come
soon,
but
so
that's
helpful
to
know
the
scope
that
we're
looking
at
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
point.
Okay,
this.
Q
N
You
Elizabeth
Dean
Clower,
so
just
also
what
about
Coolidge
Corner.
N
Yeah
I
just
realized
that
after
I
said
that
this
I'm,
going
back
to
your
earlier
Point
West
I,
totally
agree
with
the
importance
of
data.
But
I.
Don't
think
that
that's
I,
don't
think.
That's
going
to
go
over
well
I'm
trying
to
have
screenshots
of
both
theaters
because
of
issues
where
people
have
to
sign
photo
permission
that,
even
if
he's
not
that
many
people
were
selling
but
depending
on
the
movie.
If,
if
minors
were
in
you
know,
if
there
were
children
in
the
onions
or.
N
Q
N
Yeah,
okay
yeah,
that
makes
sense,
I,
think
that
would
be
helpful
information.
The
the
other
I
I
think
the
commissioner
raised
an
important
point
that
I
think
any
outdoor
venue.
Those
are
sponsored
by
the
city
of
Boston.
Commissioner
I
mean
that
under
the
auspices
of
one
of
the
city
departments,.
O
Only
some
adult
movies
I
know
a
lot
of
private
places
like
I
know
the
lawn
on
D,
for
example,
they
have
outdoor
movies
I'm
thinking
like
during
covet,
especially
a
lot
of
places
have
like
pop-up
movies.
The
city
of
Boston
parks
department
does
oversee
a
series
of
Summer
Films,
but
I
know.
There
are
several
other
outdoor
venues
that
have
them
that
wouldn't
be
under
the
city's
control.
N
And
do
all
the
the
ones
under
the
Sims
control
are
those
those
have
captions?
They.
N
That
I
think
is
very
important
and
there
would
be
a
different
level
of
Authority
behind
it.
I
think
that
would
be
an
important
starting
point.
The
one
the
one
thing
I'm
wondering
I'm.
Obviously,
what's
the
most
important
aspect
of
the
situation
is
the
the
moviegoer
experience
for
those
who
have
to
use
the
devices
that
Wesley
and
Carl
have
been
mentioning
but
I
wonder
even
secondarily
it's
of
less
important,
but
it's
part
of
the
again
not
only
being
inclusive
but
having
this
be
on
the
best
experience
for
the
entire
audience.
N
I
would
imagine
it's
it's
a
little
bit
disruptive
from
like
a
full
experience
of
the
movie
for
people
in
the
vicinity
of
the
people
trying
to
to
do
both
and
the
only
reason
I
even
bring
that
up
is
that
I
know
for
concert
performance
venues
they're
very
strict,
not
only,
of
course,
not
worrying
about
any
recording
of
of
concerts,
but
also
just
with
smart
with
phones
or
whatever
the
light
that
they
give
off,
and
so
I'm
wondering
you
know
as
I'm
I
think
there's
just
so
many
reasons.
N
Why
it
not
only
makes
the
experience
inclusive
and
does
not
take
away
from
the
experience
of
the
overall
audience,
because,
frankly,
as
a
tangent,
a
tangent,
someone
was
recently
telling
me
that
people
in
their
20s
and
30s
on
their
own
devices,
often
have
the
captioning
on
because
they're
multitasking
and
you
know,
or
in
a
setting
where
they
want
to
watch
it.
That
way.
N
So
again,
the
most
important
reason
is
to
have
it
be
accessible
for
the
people
who
who
need
it
to
be,
but
that
I
I
wonder
if
any
of
the
and
especially
where
the
request
isn't
every
every
showing
but
I
I.
The
anonymous
seems
like
such
a
reasonable
aspect.
I,
don't
know
how
many
cities
I
already
have
or
States
already
have
this
I'm
available
rest.
But
just
you
know,
building
on
the
momentum
of
what
and
I
know,
that's
what
you're
already
doing,
but
I
just
didn't
know
is
that
those
help
at
all.
Q
This
is
Wes
yeah
Elizabeth.
To
follow
up.
I
know
that
Hawaii
has
passed.
An
ordinance
around
open,
captioning
Maryland
has
occurred,
is
actually
currently
having
conversations
with
the
state
legislature
and
hoping
to
pass
something
shortly.
There
are
a
few
cities
that,
on
a
local
level,
also
have
open
captioning
ordinances
for
films.
This
is
talking
all
about
movies,
so
potentially
more
coming
on
board
soon,
but
those
are
the
ones
that
I'm
aware
of.
N
I
would
say
the
most
important,
immediate
step
I
can
think
to
take
is,
is
the
one
that
goes,
it's
the
the
the
ones
sponsored
by
the
recreation
department
or
whatever
City
Department
in
in
conjunctions,
parallel
to
the
pursuit
of
the
private
James.
Thank
you.
Q
Okay,
well,
thank
you,
everyone
for
sharing
your
thoughts
for
engaging
in
that
conversation
with
me.
We
can
move
on
to
the
next
agenda
item
that
I
have
under
old
business.
Q
Q
No,
no
I'm
asking
for
an
update
about
the
the
Statewide
closed
captioning
bill.
Oh.
K
K
That,
just
like
garlic,
the
that's,
also
okay,
on
the
end
of
it
so
and
that's
in
the
hub,
for
whatever
reason
they
both
had
one.
The
Senate
version
went
to
the
committee
on
telecommunication
and
the
house
version
went
to
the
committee
on
children,
families
in
person
for
disability,
not
sure
why
they
want
two
different
committees.
He
fell
into
two
different
committees,
but
they
have
to
my
knowledge.
Neither
bill
has
been
given
a
hearing
date
yet,
and
I
will
certainly
update.
K
So,
when
I
find
out,
I
will
be
reaching
out
to
this
Commission
to
reach
out
to
the
legislature
through
their
friends
and
families
and
Outreach,
because
I
think
because
of
the
president,
that
the
city
of
Boston
said
that
we
actually
have
a
more
than
decent
shot
of
getting
something
passed.
Statewide.
Q
Thank
you
Carl.
We
appreciate
that
update
any
questions
for
Carl
before
we
move
on
from
this
topic.
Q
Okay,
great,
thank
you
for
again
for
the
update
Carl.
We
appreciate
that
next
on
Old
business
we
had
the
BPS
Boston
Public,
Schools
transportation.
Follow-Up
I
was
going
to
ask.
Q
Excuse
me
at
the
last
meeting
we
had
a
presentation,
so
I
was
hoping
to
get
some
information
about
that
and
I
was
wondering
what
the
board's
thoughts
were.
What
comments
might
have
been
about
that?
My
plan
was
to
start
us
off
by
asking
Charlie
to
share
some
information,
so
Charlie
feel
free.
F
Thank
you
first
I
wanted
to
thank
the
commissioner
and
the
board
for
actually
having
the
director
the
new
director
of
Transportation
come
and
give
your
presentation
I.
Think
the
amount
of
information
that
was
presented
as
a
baseline
polish
clearly
shows
that
there
are
a
lot
of
students,
high
percentage
of
students
with
disabilities
that
do
require
and
need
public
trans
or
the
yellow
bus
or
the
the
transportation
to
get
to
and
from
school
and
they're.
F
Admitting
the
challenges
that
are
in
front
of
them
and
I
believe
and
I
heard
and
and
I
did
ask
as
follow-ups
that
they
did
put
in
new
infrastructure
to
try
to
help
parents
communicate
more
to
have
more
transparency
and
then
also
more
more
people
and
infrastructure
to
make
sure
that
things
are
getting
fixed.
So
what
I?
F
What
I
would
like
to
ask
the
board
and
then
also
the
commissioner,
is
that
we
as
a
commission
if
we
can
hear
updates
from
transportation
and
how
that
is
going
because
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we
heard
that
I
heard
clearly
is
that
BPS
tires
is
hiring
a
contractor.
That
does
everything
from
training
of
bus
monitors
to
the
maintenance,
to
the
busing.
To
the
scheduling
you
know,
A
to
Z
and
basically
Boston
Public
Schools
is
the
is,
is
the
people
that
communicate
the
parents?
F
What
is
going
on
so
recently
I
believe,
commissioner,
you
had
also
brought
this
up
in
a
prior
meeting
that
there
is
a
a
non-for-profit
legal
firm
that
is
representing
some
parents,
and
some
of
the
findings
that
they
came
up
with
was
that
the
reports
that
there
is
training
that
there
is
active
maintenance
being
done
on
the
buses
for
wheelchair
lifts
that
there
wasn't
any
evidence
to
show
and
support
that
there
is
active
training
or
up-to-date
training
and
then
also
active
and
up-to-date
maintenance.
F
So
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
that
I
had
noticed
is
that
when
you
have
one
entity
doing
everything
from
training
to
maintenance,
also
self-policing
and
self
accountability.
That
is
hard
for
one
entity
like
EPS
to
to
sit
there
and
and
check
so
I
didn't
know
if
it's
appropriate
to
have
them
kind
of
report,
but
then
to
ask
the
commissioner:
what
is
it
that
that
we
can
do
or
that
the
commission
can
do
to
check
in
or
to
I,
don't
know
if
I'd
advise
but
really
under
Title
II?
F
It's
one
of
those
to
check
in
or
to
help
supplement
with
compliance
and
I
think
it
brought
up
some
great
points
about
trainings
to
help
with
some
of
those
trainings
to
help
with
some
of
the
the
job
fairs,
but
I
think
the
biggest
piece
that
I
hear
from
parents
in
some
issues
with
the
wheelchair
lifts
and
maintenance
right,
the
denial
of
service,
because
there
is
an
a
physical
problem
or
a
mechanical
problem.
You
know
with
that
bus.
That
is
one
of
the
things
where
an
entity
like
the
contractor
self-policing
themselves.
F
I,
don't
think,
is
a
good
practice
just
in
general,
but
people
that
are
doing
the
work
to
also
check
up
on
their
own
heart
and
say
that
they're
doing
a
good
job.
So
I
think
it's
just.
You
know.
Following
up
with
this
commission
and
asking
you
Commissioners,
you
know
what
what
else
can,
along
with
potentially
having
them,
come
and
report
on
a
regular
basis,
because
they
will
be
doing
you
know
summer,
school
and
I.
O
Yeah
so
just
to
respond.
A
Charlie,
commission
I
think
the
interpreters
are
gonna
switch.
Give
me
one
second.
O
So
I
don't
think.
I
said
that
there
were
no
training
materials
or
would
something
you
referenced.
That
I
said
because
we
haven't
seen
any
yet,
but
to
my
knowledge
they
do
exist
there.
There
is
a
training
in
place.
O
We
have
not
followed
up
since
the
last
meeting,
so
I
can
make
a
note
to
do
that,
but
we
you're
right.
We
were
going
to
ask
about
the
training
and
also
about
the
maintenance
and
see
if
we
could
get
involved
in
the
training
at
least
review
how
they
train
the
drivers
who
work
on
the
accessible
buses
are
operate.
The
left
see
what
the
training
is
for
that
so
yeah.
My
apologies.
I
have
not
followed
up
with
BPS
yet,
but
we'll
be
happy
to
do
that.
F
And
and
commissioner
I
apologize,
if
what
I
was
saying
is
that
you
had
mentioned
that
you
know
supporting
some
of
the
training,
because
one
of
the
findings
from
the
I
guess
what
is
known
as
a
problem
resolution
system
that
the
the
the
legal
firm
there's
representing
the
parents,
one
of
the
results
of
the
findings
was
that
the
training
was
actually
not
happening
right,
even
though
the
the
busing
organization
stated
that
the
training
was
happening.
So
it
wasn't.
If
I,
misspoke
and
I
apologize.
O
Yeah
I
don't
have
any
knowledge
whether
the
training's
happening
or
not,
but
I
will
follow
up,
but
the
presenter
who
came
last
month.
Thank
you.
D
Oh
okay,
let's
see
I
am
based
on
what
is
being
asked
for
I.
Think
that
the
commission
can
definitely
because
you
can
definitely
do
some
sort
of
follow-up
with
BPS
on
this,
so
I
believe.
That's
good
Next,
Step.
D
D
D
And
another
comment
from
the
Bostic
Boston
public
transportation.
Are
there
any
other
comments
on
the
BPS
Transportation
follow-up.
D
D
Okay,
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
the
next
item
on
our
agenda,
which
is
new
business.
Does
anybody
have
new
business.
D
Okay,
seeing
no
new
business
great
now
it's
time
for
public
input,
so
this
is
the
time
for
that.
I
want
to
remind
the
public
that
you're.
You
are
allotted
two
minutes
to
ask
your
question
or
make
your
comment
and
so
we're
open
for
public
input.
At
this
point,
so
I'd
like
to
recognize
suleika
sulika
Soto
go
ahead.
You
cut
the
floor,
please
unmute
yourself
and
go
ahead
and
ask
your
question.
T
Hi
good
evening
and
hello,
everyone.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity.
My
name
isoto
I
am
a
Boston
Public
School's
parents,
I
have
one
child
that
has
an
individual
educational
plan
or
and
it's
under
disability
I
have
another
child
who
is
at
Tech,
Boston,
Academy
and
I'm.
Also
a
part
of
the
Citywide
parent
Council,
which
represents
all
of
the
parent
councils
within
the
community
I'm,
not
in
speaking
in
behalf
of
them
on
behalf
of
them
today.
T
T
Believe
and
I
didn't
write
nothing
down
that
it's
very
important
for
this
commission,
which
I
just
learned
about
to
hold
Boston,
Public,
Schools
or
everyone,
the
folks
that
are
in
charge
of
transporting
students
with
disabilities,
accountable
for
the
lack
of
access
to
Equitable
education
or
access
to
education
in
general.
There
are
still
many
parents
to
this
day
that
are
struggling
to
get
their
students
to
school.
There
are
many
many
parents
with
students
with
disabilities
who
have
to
have
had
to
quit
their
jobs
or
leave
their
jobs
due.
H
T
Not
being
able
to
access
golden
for
their
children
and
having
to
stay
home,
so
I
believe
personally
that
this
should
really
be
a
priority,
and
there
should
be
a
lot
of
follow-up
to
what's
happening
with
our
students
with
disabilities
that
are
not
able
to
access
education,
because
you
know
in
the
long
run
it's
also
gonna.
You
know
push
into
them,
not
being
able
to
access
jobs
or
not
being
able
to
access
other
things
and
I'm,
not
saying
that.
T
That's
what's
going
to
happen,
but
if
we
don't
hold
or
or
not
hold
folks
and
hold
folks
accountable
or
like
what
is
going
on.
Why.
T
Where
is
the
accountability,
and
why
are
our
students
I,
don't
know
how
many
months
now,
until
the
year
since
September
have
not
been
able
to
access
education
in
an
equitable
way,
our
students
with
disabilities,
bus
monitors
and
their
training
I
feel
like
there
needs
to
be
accountability
from
any
government
agency
that
can
provide
it
to
be
to
know
that
bus
monitors
are
being
trained
and
that
there
are
enough
bus
monitors
and
that
they
being
paid
well
for
to
take
care
of
our
most
vulnerable
students
and
to
make
it
so
that
they
have
accessibility
to
education.
T
So
I
just
wanted
to
sort
of
speak
on
that
and
the
importance
of
it.
If
you
speak
to
parents
on
the
ground,
they're
really
struggling,
and
they
you
know
there
are
many
folks
have
to
leave
their
jobs
in
the
middle
of
the
day
or
they're
getting
called
or
like
it's
a
big
issue,
and
parents
can't
access
their
jobs.
Students
are
not
accent
accessing
their
education
and
there's
a
really
big
problem.
T
So
I
would
just
ask
for
this
committee
to
really
pay
attention
to
it
and
to
do
the
follow-up
that's
needed
and
to
get
from
BPS.
J
T
Ensure
that
they're,
following
all
their
idea,
laws
and
all
the
laws
that
make
it
so
that
students
with
disabilities
have
access
to
an
equitable
education.
T
So
I
just
wanted
to
sort
of
Express.
That
and
the
importance
of
it
and
I
would
want
to
encourage
this
committee
to
push
BPS.
And
if.
A
D
We
we
will
ask
the
commissioner.
We
will
make
sure
that
this
gets
followed
up
on
we'll
make
this
a
priority.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
comments.
Any
other
comments
from
the
public.
A
A
This
is
Andrea
I,
think
we've
lost
one
of
the
interpreters,
I,
don't
know
Rachel.
If
you
can
pop
in.
Q
Q
R
Hey
what
that.

A

S
A
Okay,
this
is
Andrea
our
Cape
Verdean
translator.
Can
you
try
again
for
me.
B
S
Perfect
I,
don't
know
what's
happening
because
she
she
was
able
to
hear
me
okay,
because
I'm
doing
I
was
told
I
needed
to
come
to
English,
to
speak
to
you
guys
when
she
translated.
Isn't
that
correct
you.
A

S

Q
Q
We
are
short
on
time,
so
I
would
like
to
propose
that
we
close
the
meeting.
Can
we
get
a
motion
to
close
the
meeting?
Please.
