She

team
leader
at
the
school
department
and
knows
all
of
the
buildings
within
the
school's
inventory
she
went
out
and
did
some
work
in
the
private
sector
for
quite
some
time.
After
going
to
the
private
sector,
she
returned
back
to
the
city
of
boston,
where
we
hired
her
as
an
assistant
director,
and
she
was
here
for
a
number
of
years
until
she
was
stolen
away
from
us
by
the
massachusetts
convention
center
authority,
where
she
led
an
entire
team
of
facilities.
E
E
We
respectfully
ask
for
your
consideration
to
appoint
kerry
full-time
as
the
director
of
the
department,
culminating
years
and
years
and
years
of
service
to
the
city
of
boston
and
we're
hopeful
that
you'll
receive
this
recommendation
in
a
positive
light
in
a
positive
manner,
and
it
will
continue
to
provide
great
services
to
our
constituents
of
boston,
making
sure
that
all
the
taxpayer
money
is
duly
watched
over
and
that
we
exercise
this
authority
in
a
very
transparent,
responsible
manner
and
pleased
to
present
this.
For
your
consideration,
kerry
griffin
is
director
of
the
department.
B
D
Yeah
I'd
like
to
to
add
you
know,
thank
you,
I'm
chief
for
that
presentation,
we're
certainly
very
lucky
to
have
kerry.
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
her,
and
I
know
that
she
she
will
do
a
great
job
and
with
this
department
that
is
sort
of
unknown
to
many,
but
does
great
work
day
in
and
day
out,
maintaining
and
improving
city
facilities.
D
C
E
E
So
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
for
your
kind
words
about
the
department,
we'll
be
sure
to
convey
that
to
the
rest
of
the
staff.
This
vote
is
to
authorize
kerry
to
to
sign
on
behalf
of
the
department.
At
times
this
department
spends
a
lot
of
money.
So,
as
commissioner
irish
knows,
the
the
inspectional
service
department
is
a
department
that
is,
you
know,
has
a
tremendous
amount
of
almost
250
dedicated
public
servants.
E
It's
a
20
million
dollar
operation.
It
is
a
24,
7
public
safety
agency.
It's
an
amazing
group
of
dedicated
civil
servants
and
they
bring
in
about
60
million
dollars
in
revenue
every
year.
That's
that's
due
a
large
part
to
permits
and
building
permits
and
fees
and
associated
stuff,
but
that
is
very,
very
important
to
maintain
the
health
and
well-being
of
our
of
our
city
and
our
constituents
with
that
60
million
in
revenue.
E
This
department
here
is
spending
almost
12
to
14
million
dollars
every
month
on
investments
in
almost
a
billion
dollars
worth
of
of
buildings
in
the
capital
plan.
The
mayor's
had
a
very,
very
aggressive
capital
plan,
he's
always
thought
of
it
as
a
holistic
thing
and
trying
to
get
in
and
do
wonderful
work
to
wonderful
buildings
of
high
architectural
character
of
efficient
resilient
buildings
and
being
innovative
in
in
terms
of
using
city
services
and
allocating
city
resources
to
to
to
serve
the
public.
E
We
spend
a
lot
of
money.
There's
a
lot
of
paperwork,
a
lot
of
documentation.
It
is
all
necessary
in
the
interest
of
transparent,
open
government.
That's
been
a
stalwart
of
mayor
walsh's
tenure
to
make
sure
that
government
is
transparent
and
that
we
are
spending
money
wisely,
and
this
vote
here
is
to
authorize
kerry
to
sign
all
those
documents
which
is
a
lot
of
paperwork.
So
we
respectfully
ask
your
consideration
to
give
her
the
authority
to
execute
on
behalf
of
of
the
department.
E
So,
yes,
we
do
have
a
pen
for
her.
It
will
run
out
of
ink
very
quickly,
but
they
are
refillable.
So
yes,
it's
it's
a
tremendous
amount.
I
I've
been.
You
know,
handling
a
lot
of
that
signature
authority
for
quite
some
time,
commissioner,
since
since
trisha
line's
departure
over
a
year
ago,
now
it's
hard
to
believe
it's
been
a
year
and
it's
a
tremendous
amount
of
paperwork
and
it's
a
lot
from
all
of
the
project
managers
throughout
the
department
and
its
design.
It's
construction!
It's
it's
design,
build
work.
E
F
Thank
you,
chief
brophy.
Thank
you,
commissioners.
I
really
appreciate
being
appointed
to
this
position.
It's
very
honoring
and
humble
for
me.
You
know
I
grew
up
in
this
city.
I
raised
my
son
in
the
city.
You
know,
I'm
I'm
excited
about
the
work
that
we
do.
I
think
it's
very
impactful
and
you
know
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you.
Thank
you
very
much
for
entrusting
me
with
this
position.
