A
A
C
Thank
you
all
for
being
our
attendance
today,
some
updates
from
since
we
saw
you
in
August.
It
was
pretty
busy
here
at
OPEC.
So
as
we
put
it
in
our
our
August
update,
we
did
the
fee
funding
for
the
byproc
RFP.
Since
that
time
we
sent
out
requests
for
a
proposal
from
218
vendors
on
the
for
biodiversity
lists
of
those
we
did
get
two
responses
back.
I
should
back
up
some
just
for
the
member
who
was
not
here
last
month.
So
I
can
let
you
know
what
that
is.
C
We
received
funding
to
retain
a
Consultants
to
look
into
the
hiring
retention
and
promotion
of
black
and
dangers,
and
people
of
color
sworn
and
civilian
employees
of
the
Boston
Police
Department,
and
specifically
we're
looking
to
identify
ways
to
increase
diversity
within
the
department
and
to
and
to
begin
the
necessary
work
to
have
the
department
be
reflective
of
the
community
that
it
was
serves.
C
So
that's
why
we're
not
just
looking
at
police
officers
also
looking
at
the
civilians
aspects,
because
we
want
the
entire
BPD
to
to
look
like
that
and
so
from
the
beginning
we
have
included
Boston
Police
Department
I'm
at
the
table
when
drastically
proposal,
as
well
as
in
the
selections
of
State
consultant,
as
well
as
the
equity
cabinet
cabinet,
who
has
been
represented
by
the
Human
Rights
Commission
director
Susan.
C
So
they
tell
me,
and
so,
we've
had
various
meetings,
also
with
the
Affinity
members
of
Boston
Police
Department,
to
help
guide
what
we
should
be
looking
for
in
this
consultant.
So
of
the
two
that
have
submitted
proposals,
this
past
Monday
they
came
in
and
gave
presentations,
we've
asked
them
to
make
sure
and
that
they
ask
for
a
lot
of
money
comparative
to
what
we
were
actually
allocating
for
their
work,
because
a
lot
of
the
work
has
been
done.
C
Many
of
you
also
at
this
table
know
that
there's
always
been
a
done
on
what
the
department
looks
like
in
many
departments
across
the
city,
and
so
we
are
hopeful
to
have
a
collection
made
by
next
week.
That
is
our
time
and
the
work
will
begin
next
month
in
meeting
with
different
partners,
so
that
is
very
exciting
work
that
we're
hoping
to
get
underway.
C
Our
policy
data
analyst
Mariah,
who
is
also
part
of
our
executive
team
here
back
with
us
today,
but
has
been
instrumental
in
leading
the
work
on
that
and
also
looking
at
other
ways
to
increase
diversity,
even
through
the
cadet
program
and
looking
at
the
civil
service
exam
as
well,
we'll
be
leading
that
project
going
forward
once
the
selection
is
made.
C
We
are
also
looking
at
listening
sessions.
We've
talked
about
this
before
people
know
as
you
that
we
exist,
but
not
really
know
what
we
do.
We've
done
a
lot
of
Outreach.
C
Last
month,
my
team
did
some
great
work
August
and
currently
now
going
to
community
centers
I
asked
everyone
in
our
on
our
team
to
look
at
libraries
and
community
centers
within
a
two-mile
radius
of
their
home,
which
they
did
and
they
all
dropped
off
information
about
who
we
were
for
our
OPAC
commission
community
meeting
to
really
solicit
more
people
to
come
in.
One
of
the
things
that
we
did
learn
is
that
I
know
a
lot
of
people
who
are
owners
of
barbershops.
So.
D
C
Was
able
to
talk
to
them,
and
so
we
will
be
changing
some
of
that
Outreach
too,
just
so
that
we
are
getting
some
of
the
people
who
really
want
to
know
more
about
what
we're
doing
and
through
that
we'll
be
having
listening
sessions
going
forward
those
with
an
session,
and
we
will
have
three
this
fall.
Those
listening
sessions
will
also
be
an
opportunity
to
meet
the
new
commissioner,
commissioner.
Cox
they
will
be.
C
One
will
be
virtual,
so
we'll
start
we're
going
to
try
to
kick
it
off
virtual,
so
we
can
be
more
inclusive
and
have
more
participation.
C
The
last
one
will
be
our
community
meeting
for
OPAC
commission,
which
will
be
on
December
6th,
and
we
have
already
secured
a
location
for
that,
because
our
community
meetings
are
supposed
to
be
throughout
the
city
of
Boston,
not
just
Insurance
like
in
one
location,
so
that
will
be
at
the
Adams
Street,
Library
and
I.
Believe
then,
if
I'm
more
share
so
leave
us
at
two
230,
but
the
other
two
will
be
evening
meetings,
so
we're
trying
to
grab
hold
of
a
lot
of
different
people
and
have
a
lot
of
people
understand.
C
What's
going
on
as
it
relates
to
Public
Safety
across
the
city
of
Boston
and
again
working
with
different
Public
Safety
stakeholders
within
the
city,
you
know
what
we
do
here
at
OPAC
with
the
correlation
of
what
we
do
with
BPD
and
other
Public
Safety
efforts
that
are
going
on
my
other
pride
and
joy
is
the
youth
advisory
Council.
C
C
It
was
over
here
a
little
bit
earlier
today,
so
I
see
the
staff
working
on
the
application
that
will
go
out
tomorrow
and
we
have
narrowed
it
down
to
the
youth
that
we
are
looking
to
bring
on
our
ages
14
to
19.
So
we'll
get
like
the
8th
grader
through
high
school
I,
know,
I
thought
it
was
important
that
we
try
to
get
the
the
child
who's
right
before
they
get
to
high
school
and
they
don't
want
to
be
bothered
with
us
at
all.
C
C
I
will
say
that
I
did
have
a
lengthy
conversation
with
Deputy,
with
my
deputy
and
with
commissioner
Cox,
and
we
are
in
agreement
that
we
will
share
our
youth
advisory
commission
youth
advisory
Council,
so
that
this
work
is
not
done
in
a
bubble
and
that
the
kids
will
actually
be
able
to
live
out
this
Mission
by
having
access
both
our
office,
which
is
direct
connection
to
the
mayor's
office,
as
well
as
having
access
to
the
commissioner.
C
So
the
opaque
youth
Council
advisory
council
is
a
form
where
youth
from
around
Boston
are
encouraged
to
engage
and
advocate
for
police
reforms.
Our
overall
objective
is
to
give
youth
a
safe
space
to
be
heard
where
we
can
discuss
public
safety
issues
in
our
community.
From
our
perspective,
we
strive
to
end
the
disconnect
between
the
youth
and
the
BP
Boston
Police
Department,
by
building
positive
connections
through
Communications
accountability
and
transparency.
C
So
again,
we're
hoping
to
have
the
application
go
out
tomorrow
latest
and
then
have
our
first
meeting
during
the
winter
holiday
break
and
then
get
them
moving
throughout
the
school
year,
and
that
will
be
in
addition
to
our
year-long
internship
program
with
high
school
and
college
students
and,
last
but
not
least,
I
want
to
introduce
our
new
opod
investigator
Diana.
C
Our
team
on
my
birthday
last.
D
C
So
she
can
know
if
we
get
that
date
and
we
are
still
actively
into
interviewing
and
looking
for
a
community
mediator.
So
if
you
have
anyone
that
you
know
wants
to
do,
this
is
going
to
be
a
little
a
lot
different
than
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we
have
been
doing.
This
is
someone
it's
basically
leading
up
to
the
work,
we're
doing.
C
There's
someone
who
will
come
in
when
we
do
get
complaints
that
don't
necessarily
ride
to
the
level
of
going
to
the
civilian
review
board
it's
really
building
and
that
relationship
between
the
community
and
the
police.
Where
I've
always
said
that
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
what
the
police
do
other
than
arrests
and
this
person
will
be
charged
with
getting
that
information
out
and
helping
with
some
of
these
complaints,
where
someone
doesn't
know
why
an
officer
is
doing
what
they're
doing
why
they
there.
C
Why
do
they
move
in
this
format
and
helping
get
that
information
in
the
right
places
and
getting
police
understand
when
certain
things
are
going
on
in
the
community?
Why
they
should
not
possibly
come
in
the
way
that
they're
coming,
because
the
culture
is,
is
calling
for
a
different
type
of
response
from
the
police,
so
they
will
work
in
dual
capacity
roles?
C
Yet
yes,
so
we're
doing
a
youth
one
right
now
we'll
see
how
this
works
and
then
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
earlier
today.
What
the
age
range
will
be.
C
My
super
staff
is
smiling
because
if
you
leave
it
to
me,
I'm
gonna
have
a
whole
bunch
of
age
groups,
but
we
we
have
to
figure
out
how
we
can
manage
that
thing.
Through
the
college
internship
program,
we'll
figure
out
how
we
can
manage,
bringing
in
the
younger
adults
that
can
be
just
as
powerful
and
we
can
talk
to
them
as
well.
I
just
don't
know
who's
going
to
manage
that
we
have
to
I.
Don't
want
myself
to
not
like
me
even
more
people,
so.
D
A
Adults
from
21,
they're,
32
or
so,
and
then
the
adult
system
and
I
think
that
would
work
well
also
with
help
helping
to.
We
think
how
we
interact
as
a
community
with
the
police
and
how
the
police
interact
with
us.
A
So
it's
just
a
thought.
No.
C
We
have
a
program
but
we're
actually
being
effective
with
the
program,
because
I
can
have
every
program
here,
but
if
I
don't
have
the
right
people
managing
it
and
we're
not
having
the
right
outcomes,
then
it
just
becomes
something
that
we
have
on
paper,
and
so
I
am
hopeful
that,
with
the
different
programs
that
we
have
in
place
now
to
get
those
going
and
we
can
stop
filling
in
the
holes
with
some
appropriate
places.
It
may
not
be
that
opat
has
it.
It
may
be.
C
A
different
department
needs
to
hold
it
and
that
we
are
yes
just
following
our
youth
advisory
Council
from
one
once
they
finish
here
that
they
matriculate
to
the
next
department
and
they
are
fully
prepared
to
take
on
the
role
of
the
next
tax
that
are
that
await
them,
and
I
would
love
to
see
that,
for
example,
in
our
youth
advisory
Council
the
mayor
to
make
sure
that
there
is
a
connection
with
the
mayor's
office
on
the
mayor's
youth
advisory
Council.
C
They
may
have
used
Council
I,
think
that's
what
it's
called
one
member
of
their
Team
actually
will
serve
on
the
youth
advisory
Council
for
OPAC,
so
that
there
is
always
going
to
be
the
funnel
information
going
and
coming
so
that
there
is
a
connection
and
that
we're
not
overlapping
so
much
and
that
the
work
is
actually
being
done
on
multiple
levels.
So
we
are
being
very
intentional.
So
I
do
believe
that
that
should
happen,
but
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
us
that
we'll
take
that
lead
or
if
there's
another.
C
There
should
take
that
with
you,
but
I.
Don't
think
that
any
of
us
aren't
thinking
that
there's
another
layer
that
should
happen.
There
was
another
department
that
was
recently
created,
created
workers,
empowerment,
cabinets
and
it
may
be
some
places
that
if
one
of
a
young
Council
young
person
Council
lives
and
that
our
groups
got
to
go
there
because
I
think
we
do
have
a
lot
of
use
both
throughout
Boston.
But
then
it
kind
of
falls
off
somewhere
and
we
need
to
engage
in
someplace
else.
A
B
A
To
go
into
I
have
a
motion
to
go
into
executive
sessions.
Motion
to
second.
A
All
those
in
favor,
aye,
aye,
okay,
second
Obsession
in
five
minutes,
got
to
keep
these
rooms.
A
Oh
for
okay,
for
the
record,
we're
going
into
executive
session
to
hear
cases
16,
37,
39
and
74..
B
So
if
everyone
remembers,
this
is
the
one
that
you
right
you
but
didn't
so.
I
actually
have
the
original.
C
A
B
B
D
D
D
D
D
D
D
D
D
D
C
C
A
A
D
A
C
Okay,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
think
so
what
happened
last
time,
for
it
was
a
little
bit
more.
A
B
To
make
sure
we
were
doing
it,
the
right
thing
the
right
way
and
is
the
vote,
is.
A
B
A
Okay,
because
at
this
point
we're
going
to
move
into
executive
session,
so
I
will
entertain
a
new
vote
to
go
into
executive
session.
We
discuss
the.
