with
our
development
partner.
J
The
lgbt
senior
housing
inc,
eileen
montour
is
the
president
and
she-
and
I
are
the
co-developers
of
or
the
lgbt
senior
housing
income
penrose,
I
should
say,
are
the
co-developers
of
the
william
rogers
school,
which
is
a
old
historic
middle
school
in
hyde
park,
and
we
wanted
to
we
thank
you
for
having
us
today.
J
We
want
to
give
you
a
short
presentation
on
what
we
are
trying
to
do
at
that
at
that
old
school,
how
we're
converting
a
historic
structure
into
senior
housing,
and
we
have
a
little
presentation
that
we
put
together
that
we'll
go
through
and
I'll
just
gonna
kick
it
off,
and
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
our
architect
and
our
landscape
architect,
who
are
with
us
on
the
call
who
other
people
that
actually
know
where
the
real
facts
are
about.
This
building
and
can
walk
you
through
it.
J
J
J
It's
an
old
as
I
mentioned,
it's
a
old
historic
structure,
beautiful
building
and
our
plan
is
to
preserve
it
and
convert
it
into
housing
for
seniors,
and
it
will
hold
the
distinction
of
being
the
first
lgbtq
friendly,
affordable
housing
development
in
in
all
of
new
england,
actually
in
all
in
boston
and
as
well
as
all
of
new
england.
So
we're
pretty
excited
about
that
next
slide.
Please
please,
and
please
tell
me,
speak
if.
J
Okay,
so
this
is
sort
of
our
mission
for
the
building
is
to
adapt
the
school
into
a
vibrant,
inclusive
and
welcoming
mixed
income
senior
housing
community.
J
Our
plan
is
to
celebrate
the
historic
elements
of
the
building
and
incorporate
some
meaningful
public
spaces
which
you'll
see
for
the
residents
of
hyde
park,
the
city
of
boston
and
and
including
lgbtq
elders.
Next
slide.
Please
please,
oh
so
we're
going
to
get
right
into
it.
We
we
cut
the
presentation
down,
so
we
could
have
some
questions
that
you
could
open
up
your
questions.
So
I'm
going
to
turn
this
point
over
to
philippe
who's
going
to
walk
you
through,
and
I
and
I
just
want
to
say
at
the
beginning.
K
I
mean
I
can
take
on
from
here,
given
that
this
is
we're
going
to
start
talking
about
the
development
and
the
design
of
the
building,
and
then,
when
charlie
comes
in
he'll
join
us
again.
My
name
is
philippe
sad.
I'm
the
lead
architect
for
this
project.
I
am
an
associate
principal
at
the
male
shaper.
K
It's
a
boston-based
firm
that
one
of
our
main
practices
is
is
senior
living,
so
we're
excited
to
be
redesigning
this
school,
that
is
more
than
100
years
old
in
the
neighborhood
of
hyde
park
and
the
the
location
of
the
school
is
the.
Is
this
peachy
triangle
on
the
left
image
annotated,
the
william
barton,
rogers
school,
it's
very
close
to
cleary
square.
K
Those
of
you
are
familiar
with
hyde
park
and
very
close
to
two
major
commuter
rail
line
on
the
right
and
on
the
left,
and
it's
a
it's
a
neighborhood
that
is
full
of
amenities
and
that's
one
of
the
main
reasons
why
we
thought
that
this
location
at
this
school
would
be
ideal
for
senior
housing
that
we're
developing
in
the
neighborhood.
K
Few
images
of
the
building
as
it
stands
right
now:
it's
really
beautiful,
building,
yellow
colored,
brick,
a
lot
of
historic
details
and,
like
I
said
the
building
is
more
than
100
years
old.
However,
it
was
built
in
two
stages:
three
wings.
As
you
will
see
throughout
the
presentation,
the
building
is
a
little
bit
challenging
from
to
transform
from
a
school
that
was
built
a
hundred
years
ago,
with
very
different
standards
and
regulations
and
codes
to
announce,
senior
living
and
an
accessible
building
that
should
be
open
to
the
community
and
to
the
residents.
K
K
The
all
the
building
is
also
built
on,
like
I
said
at
mound,
and
we
did
some
exploration
for
the
ground
and
it
seems
that
there's
a
lot
of
rock
underneath,
which
makes
it
very
difficult
to
dig.
So.
Our
team
has
spent
a
lot
of
time
trying
to
really
understand
how
to
transform
this
building
into
a
housing
for
seniors
where
every
entrance
is
accessible.
C
K
These
are
views
of
the
inside.
The
building
has
no
elevators.
It
has
two
monumental
stairs
and
additional
three
other
stairs
to
serve
the
different
parts
of
the
building
and,
as
I
said,
it
has
beautiful,
millwork
and
molding
details
very
large
windows
and
three
two
very
large
spaces,
an
auditorium
on
the
top
left
image
that
you
see
and
then
a
gymnasium
at
the
bottom
right
image
on
the
screen
that
you
can
see.
These
are
oversized
spaces
that
will
be
great
for
community
gathering
next
slide.
K
That's
a
diagram
of
the
floor
plan
of
the
building
the
building
sits
on
harvard
avenue
and
average
street.
These
are
two
main
streets
that
surround
the
building
and
we
decided
so
that
we
make
access
to
the
building
the
clearest
possible.
To
avoid
confusion
is
that
the
building
will
be
accessed
from
the
entrances
that
are
currently
existing
on
the
hardwood
avenue
and
we're
trying.
We
have
worked
a
lot
to
site
with
our
landscape
architect
and
our
civil
engineer
to
make
those
entrances
accessible.
K
K
And
if
you
take
a
section
and
you
cut
through
the
building,
this
is
a
section
that
shows
you.
How
harvard
avenue
is
one
level
below
the
courtyard
and
we
will
show
you
in
the
design
how
we
have
worked
the
circulation
with
located,
elevators
and
worked
in
ramps
and
access
to
make
the
entire
development
accessible
forever.
K
K
This
is
the
site
plan.
I
will
let
jess
hamilton
from
my
kyung
kim
design,
who
is
our
landscape
architect
to
walk
you
through
a
different
aspect
of
the.
B
Outdoors
fully,
I
just
have
a
quick
comment
or
a
question.
You
you
meant.
You
meant
that
the
bpil
hyde
park
is
on
harvard
avenue,
correct.
That's
correct!.
L
We
really
had
the
goal
of
creating
sloped
walkways
to
each
entrance
so
that
we
wouldn't
have
to
have
any
ramps
and
stairs
wouldn't
be
required
to
get
to
the
entrances.
So
in
order
to
do
that
to
kind
of
reach
each
of
these
designated
entrances,
we
set
out
grading
so
working
from
left
to
right.
That
is
really
our
community
entrance.
You
can
see
kind
of
a
curvilinear
path
there
that
works
along
the
hillside
and
then
up
to
kind
of
a
landing
and
into
the
residential
entrance
at
that
area.
L
There
is
an
existing
historic
stair,
which
we
are
going
to
be
resetting
at
that
lower
level
to
make
those
a
more
comfortable
set
of
stairs.
The
risers
currently
are
quite
narrow
and
quite
tall,
so
those
will
be
reset,
but
we'll
re
reuse,
the
kind
of
existing
granite
stairs
that
are
there,
but
just
make
them
more
comfortable
to
go
up
and
we'll
be
adding
handrails
to
again
make
that
stair
path
more
more
accessible.
L
There
will
be
benches
at
that.
We're
calling
all
these
kind
of
porch
areas
outside
of
all
of
our
main
kind
of
public
entrances,
so
that
to
that
end,
is
our
community
entrance
that
kind
of
accesses
some
community
rooms
within
the
building?
That
felipe
will
talk
about
a
little
bit
more
shortly.
I
think
moving
right
on
the
page,
you
can
see.
That's
our
service
entrance
this
again.
It's
not
a
ramp
does
not
require
handrails,
but
will
really
be
used
for
back
of
house
needs
trash
kind
of
facilities.
L
L
There
is
a
canopy
there
that
I
think
again,
philippe
will
call
out,
but
so
that's
really
kind
of
our
more
public
area
for
the
residents
to
kind
of
connect
with
the
community
and
that
harvard
ave
kind
of
traffic.
So
from
here
again,
this
is
those
entrances
are
all
at
our
ground
level
to
get
people
to
to
those
entrances
without
having
to
even
go
up
one
of
those
sloped
walks.
L
We've
created
a
drop
off
area
at
the
historic
front
entrance
of
the
building
and
provide
provided
handicap
accessible
parking
in
that
front
area
off
of
everett
street
too.
So
people
will
have
different
kind
of
shuttles.
People
can
be
dropped
off
in
that
little
bumped
out
area
or
residents
can
park
there
if
needed
and
providing
kind
of
more
direct
access
to
that
residential
entrance.
L
So
again,
this
is
all
at
ground
level
to
get
people
up
to
that
courtyard.
At
the
first
floor
level,
another
level
up-
we've
graded
it
such
that
we've
kind
of
created
this
long
path
that
goes
around
along
the
building
following
philippe's
mouse
there
and
then
up
through
the
stripes.
That
would
be
a
shared
vehicular
and
pedestrian
area
again
less
than
a
ramp
slope,
and
then
here,
where
he's
showing
that's
the
only
area
in
the
site
that
we
had
to
create
a
ramp.
L
So
that
is,
I
believe,
six
percent
that
will
bring
people
up
that
little
straight
shot
and
then
we
go
back
to
a
sloped
walk.
So
this
is
really
just
a
long,
accessible
pathway
that
can
get
residents
up
to
this
courtyard
there's
much
more
direct
access
through
the
building,
but
this
provides
kind
of
an
exterior
circuit
up
then,
once
we're
in
the
courtyard
that's
kind
of
where
all
of
our
fun
amenities
exist.
We've
got
a
walking
track
that
runs
kind
of
the
perimeter
of
the
courtyard.
L
You
can
see
there
that
adds
some
color
that'll,
be
really
comfortable
slipped
slip,
resistant
surface
and
right
that
wood
area,
the
brown
in
the
middle,
that's
kind
of
the
core
of
our
courtyard.
There
we
have
a
deck
area
for
residents
to
relax.
We've
got
some
lounge
furniture
as
well
as
a
pergola
we've
put
a
lot
of
effort
into
creating
creating
ample
shade
in
the
courtyard,
so
people
can
comfortably
be
sitting
out
there.
L
We
have
a
community
table
and
grill,
so
people
can
have
little
gatherings
and
we
really
took
inspiration
for
the
courtyard
from
the
historic
nature
of
this
than
the
school.
So
we
really
envision
it
as
a
place
where
people
can
gather
and
learn
and
be
active.
So,
there's
kind
of
clues
of
that
throughout
the
courtyard
see
that
space
is
an
opportunity
for
kind
of
those
learning.
You
know
little
workshops,
performances,
potentially
we've
also
so
that's
kind
of
the
more
public
bigger
gathering
space
of
the
courtyard
we've
also
created
some
smaller
nooks
along
that
little
path.
L
That's
bisecting
the
courtyard
for
quieter
kind
of
places
to
relax
a
little
more
removed
areas
and
then
kind
of
to-
I
guess
the
left
side
of
the
courtyard.
You
can
see
those
green
boxes.
We've
got
raised
garden
beds
there,
so
all
table
height
that
people,
you
know,
can
stand
or
wheel
up
to
sit
next
to
to
do
some
gardening,
so
those
would
be
reserved
for
the
residents
to
have
their
own
area
of
garden
back
there
and
then
just
below
those
squares.
We
also
have
a
variety
of
fitness
equipment.
L
L
I
think
that
is
pretty
much
what's
going
on.
In
the
plan
next
slide,
please
philippe,
so
this
just
gives
gives
you
an
idea
of
kind
of
the
materiality
that
we're
looking
at
we're
trying
to
on
the
exterior
really
have
as
light
a
touch
as
possible
and
highlight
the
historic
nature
where
we
are
making
interventions
we're
trying
to
use
really
modern
and
clean
materials,
but
minimize
the
impact
on
that
historic
nature.
L
You
can
also
see
we
took
a
lot
of
time,
picking
out
the
various
furnishings.
You
can
see
an
idea
of
those
raised
garden
beds
that
provide
kind
of
more
access
than
your
typical
raised
bed.
That's
at
a
lower
level,
so
really
spent
a
lot
of
time,
researching
furnishings
that
were
higher
seated
so
they're
a
little
easier
to
get
in
and
out
of
having
a
mixture
of
arms
and
armless
and
backed
seats
around
that
feel
comfortable
and
sturdy
to
get
in
and
out
of
next
slide.
Please
philippe.
K
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
jess,
so
I'll
be
taking
you
into
the
building
to
give
you
an
idea
of
where
things
are
and
how
we
have
reorganized
this
building
to
be
senior
housing
and
a
community
a
place
for
community
amenities.
Like
just
has
taken
you
previously,
I
will
start
on
the
left-hand
side.
This
is
the
community
entrance
that
we've
mentioned
previously.
K
It'll
be
people
coming
through
a
lobby.
There
is
a
gallery
that
leads
you
into
an
elevator
that
is
inserted
will
be
inserted.
Part
of
the
project.
Remember,
there's
no
elevators
at
all.
In
this
100
year
old
school,
this
elevator
will
take
us
down
to
the
lower
level
gymnasium,
which
is
located
here,
which
will
be
used
and
reused
as
a
multi-purpose
space
for
large
events.
K
Besides
that
elevator
there
is
an
art
room
and
a
classroom.
There
is
a
space
that
we
are
dedicating
to
the
454th
regiment.
It
is
a
local
high
park
organization
that
needs
a
home
to
locate
their
historic
material
and
their
office,
and
then,
as
we
walk
past
this
line,
this
becomes
the
residential
side.
So
people
who
this
will
be
only
accessible
to
people
who
live
in
the
building
and
their
and
their
visitors
on
that
side.
This
is
how
it's
accessed.
K
K
Two
b
is
two
bedrooms
and
there's
a
range
between
one
bedroom
and
two
bedrooms
in
majority:
one
bedrooms,
because
senior
living
is
most
of
the
time
requiring
a
bigger
balance
off
my
bedrooms,
there's
also
a
small
gym
or
fitness
room
on
that
side
of
the
floor,
with
some
machines
and
strength
equipment,
and
then
everything
in
gray
here
in
the
middle
is
for
maintenance
staff
and
additional
storage.
K
The
two
elements
that
are
the
three
elements
that
are
added
in
the
in
the
building
is
an
elevator
located
here.
Another
elevator
located
in
this
location-
and
this
is
the
footprint
of
the
sunroom
one
level
high.
So
if
people
come
in,
they
come
up
through
the
walk,
stop
walkway.
They
come
in
through
the
front
door
they
check
in
at
the
main
reception
area
and
they
can
go
through
these.
These
doors
will
be
on
hold
open
and
then
people
will
come
in
this
way
and
get
into
the
elevator
and
go
upstairs
to
with
the
residential
units.
K
If
people
decide
to
come
this
way
or
if
people
live
upstairs
and
they
want
to
use
the
classrooms
or
the
art
room
or
the
gallery,
they
would
take
this
elevator
and
come
down
and
go
through
this
corridors.
There
is
a
ramp
here,
because
this
is
grade
and
we
have
the
stairs.
That
is
an
existing
condition.
So
we've
added
a
ramp
right
there
to
take
people
from
this
upper
level
into
the
slower
level.
K
K
The
next
slide
is
the
upper
level,
which
is
the
courtyard
level.
You
notice
that
the
sun
room
is
located
right
here
off
that
courtyard
and
it
will
have
beautiful
views
off
of
this
beauty,
landscape
space
and
it's
right
next
to
the
two
elevators
one
on
this
end
and
one
of
them
and
all
the
blue
boxes
are
the
units
that
are
some
studios,
one
bedroom
and
two
bedrooms.
K
We
have
some
studios
that
I
failed
to
mention
previous
and
as
we
go
up,
this
is
the
second
level
it's
in
majority
units,
as
you
can
see,
it's
all
blue
to
the
exception
of
this
auditorium,
which
is
the
current
auditorium
in
the
school
that
was
used
by
students.
It
has
its
stage
right
there,
so
we're
adding
bathrooms
an
accessible
bathroom,
a
small
pantry
here,
and
it's
very
close
to
the
new
elevator
that
is
being
added
for
piece
of
accent
and
the
last
level
of
the
school
is
in
majority
units.
K
Which
is
the
current
tiered
auditorium
that
the
school
and
the
massachusetts
historic
commission
is
requiring
us
to
keep
as
it
is?
It
is
not
accessible,
but
it
will
be
maintaining
the
space.
There
is
a
space
for
real
chairs
to
be
wheeled
into
the
front
of
the
room,
but
all
these
steps
are
all
in
historics
and
they
need
to
be
restored
as
they
are.
We
don't
think
this
room
will
be
utilized
as
much
because
it's
on
the
upper
floor,
but
it's
required
by
historians.
K
K
We
have
focused
here
in
this
view
on
the
community
entrance
and,
if
you
remember,
jessica's
description
of
the
sloping
walkway
that
takes
you
from
the
sidewalk
into
the
hillside
to
take
you
off
to
this
intermediate
level,
so
that
people
could
enter
the
new
entrance
that
we
are
creating
right
here.
This
big
portal
in
the
historic
entrance,
that
is,
we
can't
make
this
accessible,
so
it's
being
just
restored,
the
doors
will
be
shut
and
it
will
not
be
used.
This
will
be
the
new
entrance
creatively.
K
This
is
the
residential
side
of
the
building.
This
is
the
little
drop-off
that
has
been
mentioned
before.
So,
if
somebody
comes
in
in
a
car
needs
to
be
dropped
off
or
picked
up,
they
could
be
dropped
off
picked
up
here
and
all
this
is
that
great
or
flat
and
people
could
go
directly
into
the
new
entrance
that
is
created
right
here
under
this
new
canopy
and
the
porch
that
jessica
has
described
is
under
this
changing
area,
there's
also
a
ramp
here
into
the
hillside
and
behind
the
plants
that
we
cannot
see
in
this
image.
K
All
sidewalks
around
the
building
will
be
fixed
and
to
the
requirements
of
the
city
of
boston,
and
I
think
this
is
oh.
This
is
a
view
of
the
courtyard
you
can
see
this.
This
is
the
walking
path,
the
track,
the
track
that
jessica
has
mentioned,
as
well
as
all
the
beautiful
planting
and
the
flowers
and
the
benches
all
along
this.
K
In
this
outdoor
space,
these
are
the
elevator
towers,
on
this
left
hand,
side
and
on
the
right
hand,
side-
and
this
is
the
sunroom
towards
the
end
of
that
courtyard,
with.
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation
very
much.
It's
like
a
looks
like
it
will
be
a
beautiful
repurpose
of
of
the
building
and
and
of
the
space.
Where
are
you
in
terms
of
development
right
now?
Have
you
broken
ground?
Are
you?
Are
you
hoping
to
break
ground
soon.
J
B
You
know
it
was
very
charlie.
I
didn't
identify
myself.
This
is
would
be
helpful
for
the
interpreter.
This
was
jerry
who
asked
those
questions.
Oh.
J
Great
okay,
so
this
is
charlie
adams.
Answering
sorry
I
I
like
I
said
I
lost
my
my
phone,
so
I'm
on
my
house
phone
here.
So
good
question,
though,
where
we
are
in
the
process
is
we
just
received
article
80
approval,
which
is
fantastic
and
we
are
now
going
through
zoning
zoning
would
be
next,
so
we're
still
a
little
ways
away.
J
We
would
once
we
get
zoning,
then
we
would
apply
for
financing,
so
we're
still
a
little
good
ways
away
from
breaking
ground,
but
then
it
also
gives
the
opportunity
to
get
more
feedback
from
folks
you
know
and
what
they
like
and
don't
like
and
ways.
We
can
tweak
the
plan
so.
N
N
So
I
took
some
notes.
While
I
was
watching
the
presentation,
so
I'll
read
through
them.
My
first
question
is
my
understanding
is
that
the
building
is
very
historic
and
it's
going
to
be
a
challenge
to
kind
of
re
renovate
this
building.
N
K
K
This
is
the
best
image
to
to
show
you
where
the
stairs
are.
The
building
is
very
historic
and,
as
I
said
it's
built
in
two
in
three
segments,
this
is
the
first
wing.
Then
you
have
the
second
wing
and
you
have
the
third
one
towards
the
left.
K
We
have
studied
the
building
very
carefully
with
our
structural
engineering
and
we
did
not
want
to
disrupt
the
the
structure
of
the
building
itself.
Anytime,
you
insert
into
elements
like
an
elevator.
You
really
disturb
a
lot
of
the
floors
and
the
beams
and
what
is
holding
the
building
together,
but
their
recommendation
was
to
put
the
elevators
into
the
courtyard
and
the
elevators
are
exactly
this
rectangle
right
here,
which
you
can
see
on
this
side.
This
is
one
elevator
and.
K
Here
this
other
rectangle
on
the
left-hand
side
or
in
the
nozzle
we
put
them
on
either
ends
so
that
we
can
make
them
closer
to
this
wing
or
closer
to
this
wing,
so
that
people
don't
have
to
walk
all
the
way
to
get
to
to
set
up
an
elevator
that
is
located
in
one
place.
So
that's
why
they
were
their
location
is
not
really
close
to
the
stairs,
but
it
doesn't
really
matter.
I
mean
this.
One
is
somehow
close
to
the
stairs.
K
J
Okay,
if
I
could
just
add
things,
two
things
wellesley,
I
would
add
one
is
that
one
thing
you
can
self
understand
is
that
anybody
who
enters
the
building
can
go
to
either
elevator,
so
it's
completely
accessible
one
to
the
other.
So
if
you
know
one
side,
you
go
to
one
or
the
other,
and
we
put
two
elevators
in
there
in
the
event
that
if
there
was
a
if
one
needed,
maintenance
or
broke
down
we'd
have
the
other
available
to
get
people
around
the
building.
J
M
N
Okay,
thank
you
philippe,
so
much
and
I
guess
you
took
care
of
another
question
that
I
had
so
I
only
have
two
left
at
this
point.
So
my
next
question
is,
I
know
you
mentioned
the
fitness
centers
being
part
of
the
building
plan.
N
Can
you
explain
if
the
fitness
center
will
be
accessible
for
everybody,
who's
going
to
be
coming
in
the
building.
K
K
It's
very
close
to
this
elevator
and
it's
a
little
bit
further
away
from
this
elevator,
but
it's
all
accessible.
We
made
sure
that
no
matter
where
you
are
in
the
building,
where
you
live,
you
can
get
to
all
the
different
amenities
and
to
the
front
doors
without
having
to
take
any
stairs.
K
F
N
75
units
available
for
people
to
move
into.
Yes,
can
you
please
tell
me
if
all
of
those
units
or
give
me
the
number
of
the
units
that
are
ada
accessible,
that
match
ada
requirements
out
of
that
number
of
75.
K
We
eight
of
those
will
be
88,
yes,
will
be
nab,
which
is
eight.
Yes,
we
have
ten
percent
of
the
unions.
G
Yeah,
thank
you
jerry.
Yes,
thank
you,
philip
and
jess.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation
of
silent
seducia.
G
I
have
to
say
that
the
first
few
questions
I
had
were
already
answered
thanks
to
wesley,
but
I
do
have
an
additional
follow-up
questions.
I'm
assuming
that.
G
So
you
mentioned
two
entrances
and
I'm
assuming
that
one
of
the
entrances
that,
like
for
every
resident
there's
like
an
exit
entrance
that
should
be
accessible
like
there's,
a
fire,
god
forbid
the
fire
habits
or
something
so
it
both.
So
it's
the
exit
when
there's
a
fire.
Is
there
a
ramp
as
well
as
the
main
entrance?
That's
my
first
question.
K
So
the
code
requires
us
to
come
back
to
to
abide
by
what
the
egress
code
and
the
nfpa11
requires.
So
this
is
an
entrant
that
is
fully
accessible,
and
this
is
an
exit
right
now.
This
is
an
exit
that
is
not
exactly
accessible
because
of
the
grade,
so
we
have
a
few
steps
here
and
a
few
steps
here
on
this
end,
this
is
the
accessible
route
for
people
to
evacuate.
If
something
happens,
this
is
another
stair
that
is
not
an
accessible
window
fever,
so
we
have
both
and
they're
spread
throughout.
G
G
Thank
you
and
the
other
question
I
have.
I
maybe
missed
that
when
you
were
doing
the
presentation.
This
is
just
for
the
lgbt
community
correct.
G
J
A
J
I
I
was
asking
if
I
lean
on
tournaments.
G
Okay,
good!
Okay!
Thank
you
for
that
clarification.
The
main
reason
why
I'm
asking
is,
I
wonder,
is
it
just
for
singles
or
for
couples
as
well.
G
Okay
and
the
other,
the
last
question
I
have
is:
is
there
going
to
be
a
requirement
regarding
income
wise?
You
know
actually
two
questions.
There
will
be
like
income
requirements
like
there's
somebody
with
low
income
or
if
the
somebody
who
has
a
good
good
retirement,
possibly
so
it
doesn't
matter
like
do
you
have
to
be
part
of
a
certain
income
requirement,
so
you
can
be
a
resident
here.
J
J
50
will
be
restricted
below
60
of
the
area,
median
income,
which
basically
means
that
they
are
considered
affordable
and
are
eligible
for
tax
credits,
which
is
the
primary
vehicle
for
getting
these
developments
built
we're
going
to
have
other
units
that
will
be
pegged
at
what
they
call.
Eighty
percent
of
the
area
mean
income
and
then
some
more
at
a
hundred
percent
of
the
airbnb
income,
so
there'll
be
lots
of
options
for
people
at
different
income
banks
to
live
there.
G
Okay,
thank
you
and
my
last
question.
I
promise
sure
I
no
no
all
right.
The
last
question
is,
though,
because
this
is
a
senior
resident
or
is
there
going
to
be
like
a
nurse
on
site
or
like
a
person
who
people
can
go
to
if,
for
example,
they
don't
feel
well
like
not
necessarily
call
911,
but
just
like
yeah
like
an
office
where
a
medical
office
on
site,
they
can
see
a.
J
J
Yeah
excellent
question:
philippe:
do
you
want
to
do?
Do
you
want
to
show
the
room
where
we
have
the
wellness?
Yes,
so
so
there
will
not
be
a
full-time
paid
nurse
on
site,
but
we
will
make
there's
a
room
available,
which
we
call
a
wellness
room
which
would
be.
We
would
bring
people
in
and
just
to
see
residents
and
have
that
service
available.
So
the
other
piece
that
we
really
haven't
gotten
into
here
is
there's
a
there's,
a
bunch
of
social
service
programming
that
we
have
planned
for
this
building.
J
So
we're
going
to
have
a
resident,
full-time
resident
service
coordinator,
who'll,
coordinate
work
for
the
residents,
we're
also
looking
at
some
additional
supportive
service
staff
for
just
a
community
area
itself
to
to
add
to
that
as
well.
So
there'll
be
lots,
there'll,
be
a
group
that'll
be
dedicated
to
trying
to
link
our
residents
up
with
services
and
we'll
have
that
wellness,
room
and
other
places.
Other
you
other
spaces
in
the
facility.
J
If
you
will
to
to
have
people
come
in
and
deal
with,
you
know
different
types
of
services
that
are
needs
that
are
needed,
one
of
the
along
those
same
lines.
If
you
look
on
this
slide,
one
thing
we
didn't
mention
is
you
see,
there's
a
word
store
there.
K
J
J
Otherwise
about
you
know:
how
can
this
building
be
used
as
a
resource
and
how
would
we
have
done
things
differently
in
an
environment
that
you
know,
none
of
us
have
ever
really
lived
in
in
terms
of
a
pandemic
and
people
having
to
you
know,
isolate,
and
you
know,
shelter
in
place,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
came
up
with
as
a
idea
was
just
a
great
sort
of
a
commissary.
J
If
you
will
so
it's
it's
a
store
in
the
sense
that
it'll
have
sort
of
non-perishables
right,
and
so
you
know,
it'll
have
the
basic
necessities
that
people
might
need
in
terms
of
toiletries
and
staples.
You
know
cans
of
food
and
other
things
that
aren't
perishable.
So
you
know
that
there
could
be
that
resource
for
people
if,
if
they're
stuck
in
the
building
and
needed
those
types
of
resources
or
just
if
they
wanted
to
access
them
and
not
have
to
go
outside
for
some
of
that
stuff
too.
So.
B
And
elizabeth
has
questions.
This
is
jerry.
O
For
someone
else
who
is
experiencing
some
kind
of
connectivity
issues
of
not
only
my
sympathies
but
apologies
to
the
board
and
to
anyone
from
the
public,
I'm
elizabeth
gene
clower
the
vice
chair
of
the
advisory
board.
I've
been
labeled
for
with
him
by
phone
since
for
most
of
the
meeting,
but
it
took
me
a
little
bit
to
get
online.
So
I
appreciate
the
presentation
that
was
one
of
my
questions
was
not
only
literally
covid19
but
looking
forward
to
unfortunately
other
instances.
O
If
we
were
to
have
situations
trying
to
think
of
contingencies
like
a
pandemic
where
there
might
be
restriction
on
visitors
and
that
situation,
but
also
in
a
separate
realm.
I'm
in
the
thinking
about
evacuations
a
couple
of
questions,
one
for
the
historic
door
that
won't
be
usable.
O
K
It's
not
going
to
be
bricked
off,
however,
in
case
of
emergency,
the
code
requires
us
to
have
very
clear
path
to
the
outside.
So
if
the
door
is
not
required,
we
should
not
signal
it
as
a
way
for
people
to
go
outside
and
we're
talking
about
here
about
two
doors:
we're
talking
about
that
current
door
right
here
and
the
other
door
right
there.
K
So
this
one
will
have
to
be
blocked
because
we
are
not.
The
stairs
are
absolutely
not
usable
on
that
end
and
we're
not
even
gonna
have
the
seven
inch
riser
that
are
usual
because
we
are
enlarging
this
area
so
that
we
allow
people
to
come
in
through
between
those
two
rounds
of
stairs
in
the
slope
walkway.
So
this
is
basically
an
access
that
we
absolutely
cannot
choose
and
the
doors
will
be
closed
on
that
and
the
door
will
be
closed,
but
there
will
still
be
a
mechanism
that
allows
the
door
to
open.
K
J
One
other
thing
to
add
is
you
know
circle's
not
saying,
but
this
building
will
be
fully
sprinkler
just
as
another.
You
know,
that's
obviously
a
requirement,
but
just
to
also
give
people
comfort
that
it'll
be
fully
sprinkled,
and
you
know
to
follow
up
on
on
philippe's
point
if
the
fire,
if
the
fire
department
want
to
get
through
that
front
door,
they'll
be
able
to
get
through
that
front
door.
So
if
they
head
to
an
emergency,
it
won't
be
won't,
be
ripped
off,
but
so
they'll
find
a
way
in
if
they
have
to.
O
And
similarly,
obviously
the
elevator,
the
multiple
elevators
is
an
essence
there
in
contingency,
as
you
said,
not
only
for
maintenance,
but
in
the
event
that
part
of
the
building
had
to
be.
You
know,
separated
from
the
other
foreign
are
the
size
of
the
elevators.
I
guess
the
one
thing
when
you
hear
the
combination.
O
It's
it's
certainly
an
ambitious
undertaking
to
repurpose
a
building
that
has
been
historic
for
something
that's
senior
of
wanting
to
meet
the
the
current
and
future
needs
are
those
elevators
of
sufficient
size
that,
if
people
needed
to
leave
on
a
stretch
or
a
combination
of
people,
obviously
you
know,
I
know
they
say:
don't
use
an
elevator
in
an
emergency.
O
You
know
unless
necessary,
but
for
many
people
in
wheelchairs,
whether
at
whatever
age,
but
certainly
all
the
more
so
if
they
age
might
be
an
aspect
of
it
that
in
situations
where
that
that
might
be
a
requirement,
I
was
just
wondering
what,
if
you
already
know
like
what
the
elevator
capacity
is.
K
I
don't
know
it,
I
don't
know
it
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
I
think
it's
essential
that
those
elevators
are
allowed
for
spreadshirts
and
I
will
make
sure
our
team
has
this
with
in
their
on
their
nose
and
we
do
their
essential
changes.
Thank
you
for
that.
I
don't
want
the
answer
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
I
wouldn't
be
surprised
that
there
are
already.
O
Yeah
or
something
that
again
just
needing
to
make
sure
that,
although
you
might
be
up
against
certain,
you
know
spatial
constraints,
but
on
the
other
hand
that
to
the
extent
the
elevator
size
can
be
on
the
larger
side,
I
mean
not
the
same
as
the
hospitals,
but
that
if
several
people
had
to
get
out
and
and
it
wasn't
workable
to
have
them
be
carried
up
and
down
the
stairs
are
the.
Are
they
going
back
to
wesleyan's
point
about
ada
compliant
rooms?
Will
those
rooms
be
at
all
levels.
K
Yes,
okay
and
they
are
spread
throughout
and
they
are
representative
of
the
mix.
So
where
can
we
we'll
have
some
studio,
one
bedrooms
and
some
two
bedrooms
and
they
are
throughout
the
building?
Who
allow
people
to
to
to
have
the
choice
of
whether
you
want
to
live
on
a
ground
floor?
You
want
to
live
next
to
the
elevator
or
you
want
to
unwind
one
or
two.
It
will
be
spread
throughout
the
day.
O
And
similarly,
usually
from
the
point
of
view
going
back
to
the
other
income
related
question
that
usually
too,
that
there's
some
combination
of
a
mix
of
ones
that
something
is
both
ada
compliant
and
in
the
moderate
income.
J
O
Okay,
and
just
just
lastly,
I
mean
because
it's
going
to
be
a
new
structure,
that's
very
helpful
to
already
know,
as
far
as
environment
and
and
ventilation,
but
again
from
what
we're
learning
with
the
covid
situation
and
schools,
and
that
kind
of
thing
that
are
there
ways
to
have
that
be
on
that
the
higher
end
of
of
the
requirement
than
just
meeting
requirement
is
that.
K
Right,
charlie
I'll
answer
this
so
we're
working
with
charlie
is
with
penrose
llc,
a
large
developer
national
and
they
have
their
own
standard
and
even
before,
combat
this
company's
requirements
for
hvac
within
the
unit
is
to
have
every
unit
totally
independent
from
a
ventilation
perspective,
so
that
you're
not
breathing
your
neighbor's
hair
and
vice
versa.
So
clean
air
comes
in
directly
from
the
outside
into
the
unit,
gets
warmed
up
in
the
winter
months
and
then
it
gets
distributed
inside
it's
one
minute
and
then
the
same
thing.
K
The
air
gets
pulled
out
of
that
unit
directly
into
the
outside,
so
that
there
is
no
cross-contamination.
This
is
already
basic
before
women
we
have
to
plan
according
to
it,
and
then
this
is
fixed
into.
B
B
Olivia,
yes,
please
I'm
sorry.
If
you
could,
it
would
be
helpful
for
me
olivia
if
you
could.
Let
me
let
me
know
in
the
chat
that
you
have
a
question
that
way.
I
can't
see
everybody.
That's
online.
It's
just
a
logistical
thing.
Go
ahead.
A
F
Hi
this
is
olivia.
Are
you
guys
going
to
be
integrating
any
technology
into
the
apartments,
such
as
voice,
control
or
automatic
door?
Openers
things
like.
J
K
Yeah,
there's
currently
no
plan
to
automate
entrances
ex
yes
or
do
any
voice
commands
or
anything,
but
right
now
the
building
will
be
wi-fi
enabled
and
if
people
would
want
to
add
any
home
smart
system,
it
will
very
easily
doable.
K
B
B
Because
one
of
your
colleagues
very
helpfully
in
the
chat
had
put
the
2020
income
levels
and
rent
limits
and
that
that
website
also
has
sales
prices
and
whatnot.
So
I
just
wanted
to
to
clarify
that
this
building
will
be
rental
rental.
Only
that's
right.
B
Right
great
well,
thank
you,
everybody
for
your
presentation
and
thanks
everybody
for
their
questions
as
well.
B
B
And
next
on,
the
agenda
is
the
chairs
report
and
I
will
make
this
very
very
brief.
B
I
don't
have
much
if
anything
on
on
my
report,
although
I
will
say
I
don't
think,
we've
met
since
the
ada
event
and
it
was
a
wonderful,
wonderful
event,
so
kudos
to
jessica
and
and
the
team
for
for
for
such
a
great
event
and
and
hope
everybody
enjoyed
it.
You
know,
I
know
it
was
extremely
well
received
and
there
were
thousands
of
people
people
you
know
who
attended.
I
couldn't.
I
couldn't
believe
the
the
number
of
people
that
attended
so
kudos
kudos
to
you
guys.
B
And
also,
I
would
just
say
I
was
very
happy
yesterday
personally
to
to
receive
my
ballot
for
the
for
the
primary
I
was.
You
know
with
all
this
news
of
voter
suppression
and
post
office
troubles.
I
was
very
anxiou
anxiously.
Looking
at
my
mailbox,
hoping
to
receive
my
ballot
and
sure
enough.
It
came
yesterday
and
I
was
able
to
fill
it
out
today
and
popped
it
right
back
in
in
in
the
mail.
So
I
would
encourage,
as
I
as
I've
said
for
months
now,
I
would
encourage
everyone
to
register
to
vote.
M
B
And
and
make
sure
your
voice
is
heard
in
the
upcoming
election
because,
as
as
justin
dart,
one
of
the
one
of
the
architects
of
the
ada
said
vote
as
if
your
life
depends
on
it,
because
it
does,
and
and
with
that,
I
will
replica
for
the
commissioner's
report.
A
Thank
you
so
much
gary,
yes,
as
you
guys
can
tell
commissioner,
is
not
here,
commissioner,
is
on
vacation
this
week,
so
I'm
filling
in
for
her.
In
regards
to
her
report.
The
one
announcement
that
I
first
wanted
to
make
is
that,
due
to
kovid,
we
have
we
have
a
team.
Has
we,
as
a
team,
have
decided
that
the
rest
of
the
board
meetings
for
2020
will
continue
to
be
virtual?
A
A
But
that
means
that
we
only
we
only
have
three
more
meetings
for
2020..
It's
hard
to
believe
that
this
year
is
already
coming
to
an
end.
We
have
a
september
meeting,
we
have
an
october
meeting
and
then
every
year
we've
we've
started
to
combine
the
november
and
december
meeting
and
so
we'll
be
doing
that
again
this
year
and
I
believe
it's
the
beginning
the
first
week
in
december.
A
A
So
the
letter
that
you
guys
are
working
on
would
be
great
as
a
piece
of
support
and
then
also
as
the
commissioner
and
I
work
on
our
policy
doc,
we'll
be
sharing
it
with
you
guys,
especially
those
were
that
were
particularly
interested,
so
especially
wes
carl.
I
think
jerry
had
voiced
some
some
thoughts
too.
We'll
make
sure
that
that
policy
document
is
sent
over
to
you
guys
in
advance
of
us,
sending
it
to
legal
so
that
you
guys
can
add
your
information.
Some
background
information
experience.
Things
like
that.
A
A
Our
offices
were
still
working
remotely
and,
oh
sorry,
wes.
Do
you
want
to
ask
a
question.
H
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
we
are
working
on
a
draft
of
the
letter
and
we're
hoping
to
have
it
ready
before
the
end
of
september,
before
great.
E
B
A
Prior
to
this,
we
a
lot
of
city
departments
and
a
lot
of
programs,
as
I'm
sure
all
of
you
have
experienced
both
within
your
own
workplaces
and
in
other
things,
that
you
interact
with
a
lot
of
things,
shut
down
and
put
things
on
hold
in
lieu
of
coping
as
it
as
it
looks
like
this
is
our
our
reality
for,
for
the
foreseeable
future,
we
are
working
to
see
how
we
can
take
those
programs
and
and
situations
off
hold
and
continue
to
operate
our
office.
A
A
So
not
the
blue
placards
that
hang
in
the
cars,
those
are
run
by
the
registry
or
motor
vehicle,
but
the
the
actual
signs
and
parking
spaces
in
the
city
is
run
by
our
office
in
partnership
with
the
transportation
department
here
in
the
city,
and
so
previously
that
program
had
been
run
by
paper,
application,
half
of
it
being
done
by
the
resident
and
half
of
it
being
done
by
the
doctor
and
then
submitted
to
us
by
mail,
mail
or
walk-in
or
email
or
fax.
So,
right
now,
we
are
mostly
accepting
them
by
email
or
fax.
A
The
ones
that
are
submitted
by
mail
are
picked
up
on
a
monthly
basis
on
board
weaning
days
when
I
come
into
city
hall,
one
time
a
month
to
grab
all
the
mail
and
so
we're
working
on
moving
that
entire
application
system
online,
which
will
hopefully
reduce
barriers
for
people
to
submit
applications
and
we'll
also
streamline
our
process.
As
well
jessica,
so
that's.
A
Correct
so
so,
residents
who
can
apply
for
parking
spaces
in
front
of
their
homes,
more
the
commercial
areas
are
handled
by
the
transportation
department,
with
consultation
from
our
office.
So
if
there's
a
certain
area
of
the
city
that
we
have
gotten
concerns
from
constituents
that
there
isn't
enough
accessible
parking,
we
will
talk
to
btd
and
see
whether
or
not
there
are
areas
that
we
can
add
more
and
then
for
businesses
and
businesses
and
churches
that
are
in
more
residential
areas.
A
They
can
apply
through
our
office
as
well,
and
then
we
work
with
btd
to
figure
out
who
has
the
final
say
in
in
regards
to
that
parking
parking
situation.
Elizabeth,
I
see
you
have
a.
O
Yes,
thanks
jessica:
oh,
are
you
done
with
your
reporter?
Where
is
there
more
that
you
were
going
to.
O
Answer
it,
I
just
didn't
know
if
that
was
the
conclusion
of
it,
because
also
one
went
back
to
jerry's
size,
letting
him
know
that,
but
I'll
wait
till
the
end
of
your
report.
A
A
I
know
that
a
lot
of
people
are
bored
of
zoom
calls
kind
of
done
with
zoom
calls,
but
if
the
board
has
any
suggestions
as
to
effective
and
engaging
constituent
engagement
to
use
the
word
twice,
please
let
us
know
if
you
happen
to
participate
in
an
event
or
participate
in
a
social
media
campaign
that
you
think
are
is
particularly
interesting
and
you'd
like
to
see
our
office
do
a
similar
activity
or
event.
Please
let
us
know
we're.
A
Speaking
of
virtual
engagement,
thank
you
jerry
for
noting
the
ada
30
event.
It
is
true
that
this
is
the
first
meeting
that
we've
had
since
the
since
the
the
event
happened,
and
it
was
quite
a
success.
I
was
also
amazed
jerry
by
the
number
of
people.
A
I
don't
think
that
we
ever
went
below
700
active
participants
within
the
event,
virtually
in
real
time
since
the
event
has
been
over.
We
have
had
we've
had
multiple
thousands
of
people
interact
with
the
video
either
on
social
media
or
on
youtube,
and
so
I
really
wanted
to
thank
everyone
for
their
participation,
who
helped
get
the
word
out
about
it,
who
sent
in
photos
with
the
ada
30
shirts
and
who
participated
in
the
event.
So
thank
you,
everybody
for
that.
A
A
Essentially,
the
federal
department
of
transportation
is
working
to
create
a
strategic
plan
related
to
accessibility
and
department
of
transportation
and
so
they're
having
an
online
dialogue
and
so
you're
able
to
participate
in
that
up
until
august
21st.
The
contributions
during
the
dialogue
will
will
inform
the
full
strategic
plan
that
will
be
released
at
the
end
of
2020.
A
O
Could
I
ask,
could
I
ask
a
couple
questions?
Absolutely
oh
great.
Well,
for
thanks
for
the
commissioner's
updates
that
one
of
them
I
had
wondered-
and
this
might
might
be
better-
I
eat
more
easily
dealt
with
offline,
but
I
didn't
know
where
things
stood
with
hearing
back
from
the
chief
of
operations
about
the
plaza
redesign.
O
If
anything
had
happened
yet.
A
I
will
follow
up
with
the
commissioner
about
that.
I
know
the
commissioner
had
been
in
conversation,
but
I
don't
believe
that
we
have
an
update
on
that
prior
to
her
coming
back
from
vacation,
so
I'll
be
sure
to
check
in
with
her
and
have
her
reach
out
to
you
sure.
O
Thanks
no
problem
and
then
the
I
don't
know,
perhaps
jerry
isn't
on
right
at
the
moment,
but
in
any
case
it
not
only
was
an
excellent
reminder
by
jerry
about
the
voting,
but
also
if
anyone
is
concerned
to
grow
to
my
great
release.
My
ballot
just
arrived
today
after
a
lengthy
delay,
and
that
was
boston
to
boston.
O
O
I'm
really
surprised
that
that
was
getting
close
to
a
two-week
turnaround
and
though,
and
although
one
of
the
options,
if
there
was
a
problem
with
the
initial
application,
getting
back
to
them,
faxing
back
was
an
option.
This,
the
secretary
galvin's
office,
didn't
seem
as
familiar
with
that
option,
but
the
boston
board
of
elections
was
so
and
it
might
not
pertain
to
people
in
the
boston,
our
boston
networks,
but
for
statewide
networks
that
that
is.
O
You
know
that
people
have
the
option,
if
they're
part
way
into
that
process
of
trying
to
make
sure
their
application
gets
in
in
order
to
hopefully
have
enough
turnaround
to
get
their
ballot
and
get
it
back
in
otherwise.
There
there
will
be
the
early
early
in
person,
opportunities
that,
but
I
think
they'll
be
in
fewer
places.
Does
that
sound
right,
jessica.
A
They
are
in,
they
are
in
fewer
places,
but
they
are
all
over
the
city
and
also
additionally,
this
year
with
concerns
about
the
post
office
and
ballots
not
being
mailed
back
in
time.
The
city
has
also
opted
to
have
essentially
ballot
boxes,
that
you
can
drop
off
your
ballot
in
city
hall
and
also,
I
believe
you
can
drop
off
your
ballot
at
the
early
voting
locations
as
well.
A
While
that
still
requires
you
to
leave
your
house,
it
requires
you
to
be
at
a
location
for
less
time
and
surrounded
by
less
people,
so
it
takes
less
time
than
early
voting,
because
you
would
simply
go
in
and
hand
your
ballot
in
or
you
could
go
into
city
hall.
I
believe
it's
five
days
a
week.
I
believe
it's
monday
through
friday
and
the.
M
A
B
Actually,
carl,
if
you
could
hold
on
a
second,
I
would
I
would.
I
was
going
to
open
up
the
voting
question
under
new
business.
If
that's
okay,
thank
you.
O
No,
the
other
thing,
I'm
just
to
add
on
to
both
what
you
and
jessica
already
said
about
the
ada
event,
also
in
her
role
as
the
as
a
co-moderator,
the
commissioner
did
an
excellent
job
in
that
setting
the
panelists
were
outstanding
and
I
thought
she
both
represented.
You
know
as
usual,
but
with
that
big,
an
audience
both
in
the
moment
and
afterwards,
both
you
know
the
office,
the
mayor,
the
city.
She
really
did
an
excellent
job,
along
with
helped
me
with
the
the
co-moderator.
O
Thank
you.
I
could
visualize
her.
I
was
just
having
a
a
name,
a
momentary
name
gap,
but
they
both
did
an
excellent
job
and
it
was
really
memorable.
So
thanks
for
that.
A
I
think
the
last
things
I
have
to
add
to
my
report,
which
now
I
remember,
are
a
couple
things
related
to
access,
which
is
so.
As
many
of
you
know,
we
had
to
subs
suspend
the
deaf
tax
days,
the
so
the
asl
tax
days
that
we
hold
at
deaf
inc
every
year.
We
had
to
suspend
them
due
to
covid,
and
so
we
we
have
come
up
with
another,
a
virtual
online
system
and
are
going
to
be
able
to
to
handle
the
last
couple
clients
that
weren't
able
to
get
their
taxes
done.
A
A
I
believe,
it's
being
announced
soon
with
the
boston
lyric
opera,
which
is
a
theater
company
here
in
boston,
to
create
reusable,
partially
clear
masks
for
those
who
rely
on
lip
reading
in
some
capacity.
So
the
deaf
and
hard
of
hearing
community,
and
also
others
with
disabilities,
who
rely
on
lip
reading
for
visual
communication
and
so
we're
working
on
they're,
developing
the
masks,
they're
testing
them
out
and
then
they'll
be
working
to
produce
them.
A
B
Great
thanks,
jesse
and
thanks
everybody
for
for
your
input,
because
that
handled,
I
think
we
covered
old
business
during
the
commissioner's
report,
because
the
commissioner
is
going
to
jessica's
going
to
get
back
to
us
and
the
commissioner
is
going
to
get
back
to
us
regarding
the
plaza
renovations
and
and
the
letter
and
so
forth
and
and
carl
and
wes,
and
I
are
going
to
work
on
work
on
the
letter
and
you
know
a
possible
ordinance
regarding
the
open,
captioning
and
so
forth,
so
so
that
that
killed,
two
birds
with
the
with
that
stone,
as
it
were.
B
I
know
wesley,
had
had
a
suggestion,
though
I
don't
know
about
yeah,
you
know.
But
what
specifically
would
go
ahead
wesley.
H
H
This
is
wes
here
speaking
through
an
interpreter.
I
do
have
a
suggestion
for
the
commissioner's
report.
I
know
you
were
looking
for.
H
H
On
google
drive
or
some
sort
of
website
house
thing
like
that,
that
might
help
reduce
the
calls
to
the
office
or
emails
to
the
office.
It
might
be
a
bit
better
rather
than
people
calling
and
leaving
voicemails.
So
that's
just
a
suggestion
that
I
had.
I
thought
it
might
help,
I'm
not
sure
if,
if
anyone's
used
that
or
if
it's
accessible
for
everyone-
but
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
suggestion
out
there-
and
I
have
one
more
comment-
sure
related
to
voting.
B
A
So
I
think
I
I
really
appreciate
that
suggestion
and
we
will
certainly
look
into
it.
I
think
that
that
that
brings
that
wes
brings
up
a
good
point
about
the
the
pieces
of
information
that
we
could
work
harder
to
get
out
to
the
community
so
that
they
don't
have
to
reach
out
to
us,
so
the
information
that
we
would
often
store
on
a
google
doc
or
in
google
drive
that
could
be
disseminated
via
our
social
media
in
some
way.
A
People
will
be
able
to
get
confirmation
that
their
application
was
received
and
where
it
stands
in
the
application
review
process,
because
that
is
the
number
one
phone
call
that
we
get
is.
Did
you
get
my
application?
Did
you
get
an
answer?
Do
I
have
an
answer?
What's
the
status
of
it,
and
so,
if
we're
able
to
automate
that
in
some
way,
I
think
that
will
also
cut
down
on
on
phone
calls
as
well.
A
B
Right
and
this
is
jerry-
we
certainly
appreciate
that
jessica
and
like
like
like
for
me
every
one
of
these
meetings.
I
have
you
know,
trouble
seeing
folks,
sometimes
and
whatnot,
so
we're
we're
still
trying
to
to
navigate
gate
our
way
during
these
difficult
time
times.
So
we
we
definitely
appreciate
that.
B
I
think
moving
on
now
under
new
business.
Before
the
meeting
started,
I
had,
I
had
sent
an
email
to
jessica
around.
You
know
what
the
city
was
doing
to
make.
B
You
know,
vote
vote
by
mail
as
accessible
as
it
could
be,
and
it
can
be
as
it
needs
to
be
for
folks,
with,
with
all
sorts
of
disabilities,
hand,
dexterity
issues,
visually
impaired
and
so
forth,
who
would
have
trouble
independently
filling
out
filling
out
a
ballot
while,
while,
as
I
mentioned
in
my
report,
I
was
very
pleased
to
receive
my
pallet
and
be
able
to
get
back
in
into
my
mailbox
today.
B
I
normally
use
an
automark
machine
when
I
go
to
my
polling
place
and
find
that
to
be
very
helpful,
just
fill
out
the
belt
and-
and
I
can
just
I'm
just
barely
able
to
to
fill
in
the
the
boxes-
the
ovals
on
myself
independently.
So
I
can
imagine
what
what
challenges
some
other
folks
would
would
have,
and
I
know
that
carl
mentioned
mentioned
a
couple
of
meetings
ago.
I
think
you
know
the
difficulty
that
the
visually
impaired
community
and
blind
community
would
have
with
vote
by
mail.
B
So
I
didn't
know
if,
if
folks
wanted
to
wanted
to
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
and-
and
I
know
jessica
said
prior
to
the
meeting
or
before
it
started-
that
she
would
try
to
get
as
much
information
from
the
city
and
from
the
state
as
she
could
and
discriminate.
B
E
You
know
about
I'll,
probably
a
month
and
a
half
ago
that
passed
the
rule
saying
that
the
ballast
must
be
accessible
and
that
included
blind
people
and
the
blindness
community
has
been
in
touch
with
the
secretary
of
state
office,
saying
where's
the
blindness
alternative
and
to
the
satisfaction
of
the
blindness
community
they're,
not
meeting
the
satisfaction
of
the
blindness
community,
so
they
are
working
with
the
disability
law
center
and,
I
suspect,
very
soon,
you're
going
to
see
them
file
an
injunction
or
a
lawsuit
against
the
secretary
of
state's
office.
I'm
not
involved
in
that
part.
E
No
way
whether
it
be
online
or
what
have
you
version
of
an
accessible
balance
so
that
they
don't
have
to
be
in
person
that
has
been
created
for
blind
people.
So
the
blindness
community
is
is
extremely
unhappy
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
known
to
focus
on
the
commission.
B
Right
well,
I
will
also
share
that
that
I
did
get.
I
did
get
contacted
coincidentally
today
by
bcil
reaching
out
to
see
see
if
folks
would
be
interested
in
in
in
participating
in
any
potential
legal
action
with
dlc.
So
I
know
that
they're
very
close,
they're,
very
close
to.
B
That
so
I
didn't
know
if
anybody
else
had
any
any
thoughts.
D
Yes,
hi
everyone
just
a
comment
to
adhere.
I
was
just
writing
this
in
the
chat.
My
understanding
is
that
massachusetts
is
not
accepting
the
ballots
if
they
arrive
after
election
day,
so
it
would
be
as
a
good
reminder
for
everyone
and
all
our
friends
that
if
they
choose
to
mail
in
the
ballots
to
do
so
as
early
as
october,
20
or
even
sooner
just
because
massachusetts
doesn't
accept
those
ballots
after
election
day.
B
Right
and
I'll
use
myself
as
a
as
an
example.
This
is
jerry
right
on
the
ballot
itself
for
the
primary
it
says
they
must
be
received
back
to
the
election
department
by
the
primary
date
september.
First,
in
order
to
be
counted
so
so
I
mean
it
they,
it
does
not
allow
for
a
very
quick
turnaround
time
in
most
cases.
So
so,
while
while
mail-in
voting
is,
is
helpful
particularly
around
in
this
coveted
time
there
there
are.
There
are
challenge.
There
are
a
lot
of
challenges
so,
and
I
know
olivia
head.
F
Yeah,
I'm
going
to
be
availing
myself
of
early
voting
because
I
need
the
auto
mark.
I
spoil
balance
like
crazy
when
I
try
to
fill
them
out
by
hand,
and
even
though
I
can
use
my
topaz
magnifier
to
blow
up
the
ballot
for
my
eyes,
I
still
don't
have
the
dexterity
to
do
it
any
other
way.
F
B
C
E
O
Yeah,
I
I
actually
from
what
carl
is
saying
and
certainly
the
I
I've
had
a
version
of
what
jerry
and
olivia
have
gone
through
that
the
times
that
I
I
couldn't
use
the
auto
mark
machine.
One
time
I
was
just
incorrectly
told
it
wasn't
working
that
turned
out
to
be
misinformation,
but
I
felt
I
was
back
to
the
pointillist.
O
You
know
just
trying
to
fill
in
point
by
point
by
point
with
some
of
it
going
outside
the
mark,
but
I
thought
outside
the
circle,
but
it
seemed
except
acceptable.
It
just
took
so
extra
long,
but
it
looks
like
that
these
issues
are
not
going
to
be
obviously
resolvable
for
the
primary,
but
what
about
for
the
general
election
as
a
part?
O
One
question
for
november,
and
secondly,
I
don't
know
with
our
role
and
partly
that,
although
we're
the
advisory
board,
but
with
the
commissioner
working
in
on
the
mayor's
office,
I
don't
know
what
our
as
a
board,
what
our
role
can
be,
but
that's
pretty
appalling.
As
I
you
know
worse
than
disenfranchisement.
O
I
don't
know
what
the
word
I
to
exclude
a
portion
of
the
community
we
represent,
including
on
our
own
board,
but
obviously
constituents
for
all
of
us.
I
had
no
idea
that
that
was
still
unresolved,
that
that's
really
appalling,
so
I
just
didn't
know.
Is
there
it's
not
going
to
make
a
difference,
unfortunately,
for
in
addition
to
the
lawsuit
that
others
are
filing,
is
there
a
way
that
at
least
for
the
general
election
carl,
do
you
have
any
recommendation
for
a
role
we
we
might
have
before
then,
or
jerry
or
death.
E
O
Well,
and
also
what
about
jessica
for
clarification
for
our
role
unless
this
needs,
even
for
those
who
aren't
employees
of
the
city,
but
what
do
we
is
there?
Where,
where
do
we
stand.
A
So
I
can
check
with
our
legal
department
as
to
whether
or
not
if
you
wanted
to
engage
hypothetically
hypothetically.
If
you
wanted
to
engage
with
dlc
in
regards
to
the
lawsuit,
then
we
could
clarify.
You
would
most
likely
have
to
involve
yourself
only
as
a
resident
of
the
city
of
boston
and
would
not
be
able
to
be
involved
in
any
way
as
a
board.
Member.
O
I
wouldn't
think
that,
but
I
wondered
if
it
was
just
preferable
since
there's
other
simultaneous
issues
that
we're
pursuing,
like
the
plaza
redesign.
If,
if
we
know
people
who
could
it's
not
a
it's,
not
an
unwillingness
to
speak
out,
but
just
in
trying
to
pick
and
choose
or
recognizing
what
responsibilities
we've
already
committed
to,
but
certainly
being
supportive
of
it.
And
so
let
maybe
letting
others
also
know
that
these
are
the
avenues
for
how
to
pursue.
That.
A
So
so
I
would
say
that
if
you,
if
you,
if
the
board
itself
wants
to
speak
out
in
regards
to
this
issue,
this
is
an
issue
that
has
to
be
handled
at
the
state
level
and
not
at
the
city
level,
because
the
state
handles
how
we
do
elections
and
how
we
handle
voting.
But
if
the
board
wanted
to
write
a
letter
that
we
could
send
to,
is
it
the
secretary
of
state
carl.
A
Then
the
board
could
do
that
and
use
their
voice.
That
way.
E
E
So
you
know:
hey
I'm
just
saying
she,
I'm
not
the
one
getting
in
touch
with
her.
I'm
just
saying
I've
heard
a
lot
of
contact
so
and
maybe
contact
your
individual
legislator,
because
at
the
state
level,
in
the
case
of
boston,
we
all
probably
have
many
of
the
same
legislators.
E
So
that's
the
other
thing
you
can
do
yeah.
O
Because
otherwise,
jessica,
what
about
the
mass
office
on
disability
mod
or
is
there?
In
other
words,
should
it
be
handled
at
the
state
level.
O
O
Right,
I
want
to
be
respectful
of
those
needs,
but
just
that
certainly
it's
it's
of
concern
to
us,
and
I
just
didn't
know
if
there's
other
which
channels
and
which
advocates
are
are
because,
as
I
said,
I
don't
know
if,
there's
and
realistically
for
the
general
election
at
least
there
might
be
a
different
range
of
options
still.
A
I
will
say
that
as
an
individual
you
can.
We
can't
advise
you
what
to
do.
There
are
a
couple
options
that
carl
has
mentioned
in
regards
to
dlc
in
regards
to
talking
to
your
state
legislature
talking
to
the
secretary
of
state's
office
yourself
in
regards
to
the
board.
A
If
a
letter
wants
to
be
written,
that
we
can
send
to
the
secretary
of
state
that
we
can
send
to
mod,
that
is
also
an
option
too.
You
also,
as
individual
residents
can
contact
mod
as
well
state
agency,
the
state
agency.
They
may
have
more
ability
to
speak
to
the
right
people,
but
in
regards
to
specifically
what
we
can
and
can't
do,
I
think
a
letter
as
the
board
is
an
option.
If
people
wanted
to
go
that
route.
B
I
would
say
this
is
jerry.
I
would
suggest
that
maybe
the
board
write
a
letter.
Does
someone
want
to
move
that
we
do
that
or.
B
No,
so
so
jessica
can
I
work
with
you
and
maybe
we
can
draft
a
a
letter
that
can
go
to
the
secretary
of
state's
office
and.
A
M
E
B
G
Here's
juicia.
I
just
want
to
mention
that
if
we
didn't
have
the
issue
with
security
concern,
I
would
even
suggest
it
that
we
could
have
the
the
poll
that
could
be
done
somewhere.
Like
the
like
point
by
serving
monkey
like
you
know,
you
get
the
sorry
monkey
website
and
you
I'm
sorry.
Can
you
hear
me.
B
G
Okay
yeah,
so
I
would
just
say,
like
the
surrey
monkey
is
used.
If
there
was
no
security
concern,
you
could
have
used
security.
Sorry,
that's
a
good
serbian
monkey.
Similarly,
because
they
would
have
a
polite
which
person
which
person
you
want.
That's
present
there
will
be
like
a
poll
and
you
could
type
in
your
name
at
the
beginning
or
the
end
and
just
just
mail
it
out
or
whatever
that
process
is.
But,
as
I
said,
that
would
be
maybe
an
idea
if
we
did
not
have
security
concerns.
B
Sure
so
so
I
I
appreciate
that
comment,
susie,
yes,
but,
unfortunately
again
we
want
to
make
sure
that
nobody
can
hack
hack,
the
ballot
and
everything
else.
So
I
think
carl's
correct.
I
think
there
would
be
a
a
whole
whole
host
of
security
concerns
that
the
state
would
probably
not
want
to
tackle,
but
anyway,
I
appreciate
everybody's
comments
and
everybody's
input.
I
think
this
is
a
very
important
issue.
B
We
want
to
make
sure
that
that
that
voting
is
as
easy
and
accessible
to
all
our
our
constituents
as
possible
because,
as
I
said
during
my
report,
I
mean
we
have
to
we
have
to
vote
as
if
our
life
depends
on
it,
because
because
in
fact
it
it
does
in
many
cases.
So
I
appreciate
everybody's
thoughtful
discussion
on
on
this
point.
B
E
Wait
wait.
I
have
one
more
thing,
I'd
like
to
say,
I
would
like
to
put
in
the
shameless
plug.
This
is
for
me,
but
I
just
started
a
podcast
with
a
friend
of
mine
called
picture
this,
and
it's
all
about
the
world
of
audio
description
and
whether
it
be
movie
theater
television,
museums,
we're
going
to
become
national
parks,
we're
going
to
be
covering
it
all.
We
already
have
five
episodes
posted
again.
E
It's
called
picture
this
and
today,
I'm
very
happy
to
say,
unfortunately,
until
now
it
hasn't
been
accessible
from
deaf
and
hard
of
hearing,
but
I
just
hired
a
company
who
will
be
transcribing
all
of
my
shows
and
we
will
also
be
putting
up
accessible
transcripts
for
those
who
you
who
need
to
who
need
print
access
to
put
a
deafblind
to
use.
Refreshable
braille
displays
so
that'll
be
happening
in
the
next
couple
weeks,
I'm
just
putting
in
a
single
plug
for
my
podcast.
That's
fine
carl.
B
O
Okay,
an
issue
just
came
up
within
the
past
week
for
myself
that
I
was
trying
to
see
about.
I
had
some
medical,
durable
medical
equipment
that
I
was
no
longer
using.
O
So
I
called
the
number
I
was
given
about
seeing
if
it
could
be
repurposed
and
they
said
that
the
money
had
been
slashed
from
the
budget,
and
so,
although
it
was,
I
think,
both
for
the
purposes
of
I
think
both
for
their
the
personnel
in
their
office
as
well,
as
you
know,
being
able
to
take
any
new
items
as
well.
O
As
you
know,
kind
of
it
sounded
like
overseeing
or
facilitating
how
it
would
be
distributed,
and
yet
he
also
brought
to
my
attention
it's
a
time
when,
if
anything,
people
are
trying
to
go
from
the
hospital
to
home
situations
without
say
an
inpatient
rehab
stay
in
between
it.
For
you
know,
I
would
imagine
some
of
the
orthopedic
surgeries
someone
had
a
hip
or
a
knee
and
are
able
to
go
straight
home.
O
So
even
some
people
who
might
not
have
a
permanent
disability
but
might
have
need
for
a
walker
or
something
a
piece
of
equipment
and,
as
a
number
of
us
have
come
across
that
many
pieces
of
equipment
aren't
covered
by
insurance.
You
know
bathroom
equipment,
things
like
that.
You
can
shower
chairs
things
of
that
nature,
and
so
I
didn't
know
if
I
think
that
he
said
that
the
person
that
is
karen
langley,
someone
that
jessica
that
you
or
the
commissioner
have
worked
with.
I.
B
I've
I've
worked
with
her
in
the
past.
I
I
know
that
she
was.
She
had
a,
I
don't
know
if
it's
still
active,
but
she
did
have
a
you
know,
kind
of
a
a
equipment
loan
program
or
something
at
at
one
point
I
don't
like
I
said
I
don't
know
she
is.
O
Yeah
well
this,
I
don't
have
his
information
in
front
of
me,
but
on
the
person
I
spoke
with
works
for
her,
that
she's
she's
his
supervisor,
and
he
said
that
they
have
no
money
for
it,
and
so
I
don't
know,
does
that
mean
for
this
entire
upcoming
next
fiscal
year?
You
know
that
this
wouldn't
even
be
considered,
or
I
would
imagine
that
the
amounts
of
money
relative
to
other
programs
that
any
and
not
only
any
infusion
of
money
would
be
helpful.
But
I
would
imagine
it
it's
if
she's.
B
If
she's
this
gentleman
supervisor
it's
jerry
and
he's
saying,
there's
no
money,
I
would
imagine
at
least
for
for
I
know
we
just
the
state
just
went
into
a
new
fiscal
year,
so
maybe
for
the
for
this
at
least
this
current
fiscal
year.
Oh.
O
No,
I
I
think,
that's
exactly
what
that
meant
through
regular
channels.
All
I'm
saying
is,
I
don't
know
if
there's
any,
obviously,
in
the
scheme
of
emergency
funding
measures,
you
know
things,
it's
not
it's
not
an
emergency
in
the
way
other
things
are,
and
yet
even
governor
baker
talked
about
the
long
gap
during
the
worst
of
the
covid
surge,
the
time
frame
when
he
wasn't
able
to
visit
with
his
own
father.
O
So,
although
it
might
not
have
been
equipment
related,
but
I
just
didn't
know,
is
there
any
other
having
just
learned
of
this
myself,
you
know
between
now
and
next
summer.
Is
there
any
not
for
something
would
be
necessarily
doing
anything
further
with
tonight,
but
it
just
came
out
to
my
attention
a
few
days
ago.
C
C
M
E
So
so
I
don't
know
that
I
have
any
money
coming
to
me
past
october,
because
no
as
of
now,
the
state
has
not
adopted
a
fiscal
budget
for
this
fiscal
year,
even
though
we're
already
into
the
end
of
august,
what
they're
doing
is
they're
doing
the
most
emergency
appropriations
and
waiting
to
see
the
full
impact
of
cobit
and
they're
also
waiting
to
see
how
much
money
we
get
from
the
federal
government
before
we
come
up
with
the
budget,
I
can
tell
you
this:
there
are
going
to
be
drastic
cuts
and
they're
all
going
to
be
cut
the
program,
because
we're
already
doing
I
don't
want
to
say
too
much
we're
already
doing
budgetary
exercises
based
on
certain
scenarios.
O
Okay,
that's
helpful
to
know
I
I'm
new
to
this
realm
and
certainly,
if
with
the
level
of
accessible
need,
I
mean
I
would
think
not
only
you
know,
like
legal
compliance,
the
spirit
and
the
letter
of
the
law
that,
if
you're
already
up
against
those
kind
of
constraints,
that's
what's
helpful.
So
now
I
mean
I
knew
things
are
very
austere
and
then
also
with
the
loss
of
state
revenues.
O
Well,
it
turns
out
for
the
particular
piece
I
had
in
mind
didn't
meet
the
criteria,
but
but
it's
that's
what
happened
to
bring
it
to
light.
I
was
referred
by
the
vendor
by
the
durable
medical
equipment
vendor
at
to
her
office
and,
although
in
this
case
it's
not
a
piece
of
equipment
that
they
would
have
accepted
for
under
this
program.
O
B
There
may
be
other
resources,
I'm
I'm
not
there.
I
know
I
know
bcil
also
used
to
do
an
equipment
program
as
well,
so
you
might
want
to
give
them
a
call
sure.
H
H
N
Again
so,
apparently
in
previous
conversations
we
had
talked
about
the
mayor
and
I
realized
that
I
mean
he
might
have
a
lot
of
advocacy.
N
The
mayor
himself
could
possibly
join
one
of
our
meetings.
You
know,
I'm
not
sure
I
don't
recall
if
he
had
joined
in
the
past,
but
I
thought
that
he
had
joined
at
least
one
of
the
meetings,
and
I
thought
maybe
that
would
be
a
good
idea
based
on
him
being
involved
in
multiple
advisory
groups.
B
We've
had
different
folks
from
his
office,
come
and
speak
about
various
different
things,
but
but
the
mayor
himself
has
not,
I
know,
he's
hosted,
he's
hosted
a
couple
of
different
events,
for
you
know:
advisory
boards
and
and
different
things
for
the
city.
I
don't
think
they
did
that
this
year.
I
know
the
commissioner
had
I
mentioned
it
once
to
the
commissioner,
and
she
said
she
was
gonna
look
into
look
into
it,
but,
but
I
haven't
heard
anything,
maybe
jessica.
You
know
you
know
of
anything.
A
Yeah,
so
I
will
say
that
I
do
not
believe
that
the
that
there
was
an
event
hosted
this
year
for
boards
and
commissions.
I
would
assume
due
to
covid.
So
in
previous
years
there
have
been
kind
of
reception
type
events
for
boards
and
commissions
there
are.
I
was
looking
to
see
whether
or
not
I
could
look
up
just
how
many
boards
there
are.
It
looks
like
there
were
probably
at
least
50
different
boards
and
commissions
that
that
are
connected
to
the
city
of
boston.
A
So
whether
or
not
it's
the
public
improvement
commission,
the
arts,
commission,
the
freedom,
trail,
commission
or
the
disability
commission,
there
are
many
of
those.
I
will
also
tell
you
that
I
do
not
believe
that
the
mayor
has
attended
one
of
our
advisory
board
meetings,
while
he
has
attended
our
ada
event,
and
I
believe
he
is
stopped
by
during
our
community
forum,
which
is
the
opportunity
for
the
board
and
our
staff
to
listen
to
the
concerns
of
the
community.
A
I
will
say
also
that
that,
while
he
he
has
many
of
them,
the
commissioner,
the
the
role
of
commissioner
makash,
is
to
be
kind
of
the
mayor's,
the
mayor's
point
person
on
disability
issues,
and
so
she
she
represents
the
mayor,
both
figuratively
and
literally,
and
that
is
kind
of
her
role
within
this
space
here
is
to
to
represent
the
mayor
and
the
mayor's
agenda
and
also
give
our
concerns
back
to
the
mayor
as
well.
A
I
would
imagine
that
he
probably
has
his
hand
hands
full
a
bit,
but
I
will
discuss
that
with
the
commissioner.
I
Thanks
for
doing
that
on
our
behalf,
paul
appreciate
it-
and
you
know
I
appreciate
it.
You
know
I
wish
more
of
us
attended,
because
mayor
walsh
was
open,
heirs
to
the
board
and
he
and
chief
brophy
gave
went
above
and
beyond
accommodating
the
disability
commission
advisory
board.
Our
needs
our
thoughts,
any
comments.
There
wasn't
any
kind
of
time
limit,
even
though
we
didn't
attend
a
meeting.
I
This
was
sort
of
a
meeting
for
us
to
express
our
concerns
personally
face
to
face
with
the
mayor
and
as
commissioner
mccauchian
chief
of
staff
doonan
did,
and
they
know
he
went
above
and
beyond
accommodating
us
and
listened
to
all
our
concerns
any,
and
there
was
more
than
enough
time
for
us
to
express
anything
on
our
agendas
that
day,
unfortunately,
not
a
lot
of
us
attended.
It
was
a
privilege
to
attend,
and,
during
the
challenging
times
of
covert,
I
just
feel
mayor
walsh
is
doing
an
outstanding
job
guiding
the
city.
I
He
reminds
all
people
to
be
cautious
and
careful
and
through
his
leadership,
has
been
positive
and
strong,
not
just
to
our
commission,
but
I
think
to
all
the
boards
that
are
recommended
and
referred
to
under
his
realm.
Like
I
said
during
the
groundbreaking
event,
anyone
who
had
anything
to
say
a
comment
to
him,
a
chief
broke
brophy
were
they
went
above
and
beyond,
to
express
their
interest.
B
Well,
I
appreciate
you
making
those
comments
paul,
and
I
know
that
chief
brophy
said
in
in
his
meeting
that
that
a
few
of
us
had
with
with
them
that
that
he
would
still
try
to
make
make
himself
and
the
mayor's
office
and
whatnot
open
to
us
throughout
the
whole
renovation
process.
So
that's
you
know.
Hopefully
you
know,
more
of
us
will
be
able
to
participate
in
that
process
and
take
a
look
at
at
the
renovations
as
they
go
along
as
we.
We
hopefully
move
out
of
these
cove
but
covet
times.
I
You
know
no
problem,
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
other
thing
concerns
that
the
board
would
have.
He
wasn't
just
about
the
landmark
renovation
that
he's
you
know,
keeping
his
word
to
doing,
but
also
any
other
concerns
we
had
were
open.
It's
like
an
open
mic
to
him,
whatever
we
had
to
express,
he
gave
us
there's
plenty
of
time
at
that
time.
Unfortunately,
it
was
only
a
few
of
us
that
were
able
to
attend.
E
O
Paul
paul
thanks
for
letting
us
know
that
I
think,
if
we
were
to
have
I
I
think
that
does
that's
an
an
important
idea
to
keep
in
mind
for
the
future.
With
the
mayor
of
the.
O
Because
I
know
that,
when
the
combination
of
the
that
prior
event,
that
was
celebrating
all
the
boards
and
commissions
that
that
was
the
year-
that
just
the
disability,
individuals
with
disabilities
weren't
even
mentioned
in
the
city,
the
state
of
the
city
address
and
jerry
straightforwardly
respectfully,
but
straightforwardly
mentioned
it
to
mayor
walsh,
and
this
last
year
he
did
include
he
did
include.
O
It
was
part
of
you
know
the
laundry
laundry
list,
if
you
will
of
all
the
different
groups.
But
nonetheless,
at
least
we
were
included
because
that
was
distressing
to
have
not
only
racial
and
ethnic
groups,
but
though
just
many
other
people
who,
in
one
way
or
another,
you
know,
have
felt
marginalized.
I
O
Well,
I
I
think
again,
though,
it's
helpful,
that's
great,
to
know
that,
but
I
think
what
some
of
us
at
least
when
we
found
out
about
the
plaza
redesign,
even
though
in
some
ways
it
felt
kind
of
11th
hour.
But
at
least
there
was
the
opportunity
to
have
had
an
internal
meeting
put
together
bullet
points
and
that's
wonderful.
That
was
there
for
those
who
knew
it,
but
a
lot
of
us
besides
having
some
prior
commitments.
O
But
I
mean
without
even
knowing
that
there
was
going
to
be
that
extra
dimension,
I
think,
would
be
terrific
to
have
some
their
plans
could
change
on
a
moment's
notice.
But
if
we
had
some
expectation
that,
given
the
array
of
issues,
whether
it's
elections

In
this
renovation
too,
if
you
notice
all
safety
precautions
are
taken
taken

The
clerk
of
the
works
is
right.
There,
safety
offices,
they're,
going
above
and
beyond,
whereas
past
renovations
at
city

plaza
when
they
were
just
digging
up,
15
20
brick
at
a
time
and
throwing
them
in
they
didn't
even
have
cones
out.
So
I
think
that
this
mayor's
agenda
has
gone
above
and
beyond,
with
not
only
listening
to
all
agencies,
but
all
the
safety
precautions
alone
have
been
a
great
help.
