00:21:07:00	00:21:08:00	OF RESPONSIBILITIES WAY MORE
00:21:08:00	00:21:10:00	THAN WHAT YOU SEE ON THIS ON
00:21:10:00	00:21:12:00	THIS SLIDE.
00:21:12:00	00:21:13:00	BUT AS A CONDENSED VERSION, OUR
00:21:13:00	00:21:15:00	MAIN STREETS PROGRAM OPERATES
00:21:15:00	00:21:16:00	UNDER OUR SMALL BUSINESS TEAM.

00:21:39:00	00:21:40:00	ON, OUR TEAM HAS ADDED A LOT
00:21:40:00	00:21:43:00	OF OTHER DIVERSE INITIATIVES

00:21:51:00	00:21:52:00	AND THE WORK THAT THEY DO FALLS

00:22:14:00	00:22:17:00	TO LIFT A CAP THAT ALLOWS US TO

00:22:37:00	00:22:38:00	ALWAYS JUST TO GIVE A RECAP
00:22:38:00	00:22:39:00	OF WHAT THE VISION FOR OUR

00:23:00:00	00:23:01:00	WHAT WE MEAN WHEN WE'RE TALKING
00:23:01:00	00:23:04:00	ABOUT EQUITY AND SO BE EQUITY
00:23:04:00	00:23:05:00	AND INCLUSION.
00:23:05:00	00:23:08:00	CABINET DEFINES EQUITY AS THE
00:23:08:00	00:23:09:00	PROACTIVE PROCESS OF PROVIDING

00:35:31:00	00:35:32:00	WE EXPECT THAT NUMBER TO
00:35:32:00	00:35:34:00	INCREASE BECAUSE OF THE
00:35:34:00	00:35:35:00	CONTRACTING OPPORTUNITY FUND
00:35:35:00	00:35:35:00	ALTHOUGH YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE

00:35:47:00	00:35:51:00	RISE PROBABLY TO AROUND TWO
00:35:51:00	00:35:51:00	HUNDRED.
00:35:51:00	00:35:54:00	WE HAVE 53 NEW CERTIFICATION

00:35:59:00	00:36:01:00	HAVE UNFINISHED APPLICATIONS DO
00:36:01:00	00:36:02:00	FINISH THEM, WE EXPECT THAT
00:36:02:00	00:36:05:00	NUMBER TO INCREASE EVEN MORE IN
00:36:05:00	00:36:06:00	BLUE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE

00:36:18:00	00:36:21:00	THIRTY SEVEN PERCENT OF THOSE
00:36:21:00	00:36:22:00	BUSINESSES ARE SMALL LOCAL
00:36:22:00	00:36:23:00	BUSINESSES WHICH MEANS THAT
00:36:23:00	00:36:25:00	THEY HAVE THEIR A CERTAIN SIZE
00:36:25:00	00:36:26:00	BASED ON THE GROSS RECEIPTS
00:36:26:00	00:36:26:00	OF SALES OF THE BUSINESS AND

00:36:44:00	00:36:45:00	SLIGHTLY BY THE END OF TWENTY
00:36:45:00	00:36:45:00	THREE.

00:42:09:00	00:42:10:00	BUDGET FOR THE PROCUREMENT
00:42:10:00	00:42:13:00	DEPARTMENT IS INCREASING BY ONE
00:42:13:00	00:42:13:00	POINT SIX DOLLARS MILLION OVER
00:42:13:00	00:42:16:00	THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR AND
00:42:16:00	00:42:17:00	THAT'S PRIMARILY DUE TO THE
00:42:17:00	00:42:20:00	INTEGRATION OF THE STRATEGIC
00:42:20:00	00:42:21:00	PROCUREMENT TEAM WHICH HAD
00:42:21:00	00:42:24:00	PREVIOUSLY BEEN INCUBATED, IF
00:42:24:00	00:42:25:00	YOU WILL, IN THE CFOS OFFICE
00:42:25:00	00:42:27:00	INTO EXISTING PROCUREMENT
00:42:27:00	00:42:28:00	DEPARTMENT.
00:42:28:00	00:42:32:00	THE BUDGET ALSO CONTEMPLATES
00:42:32:00	00:42:35:00	NEW RESOURCES FOR THIS EXPANDED
00:42:35:00	00:42:36:00	AND INTEGRATED DEPARTMENT FOR
00:42:36:00	00:42:39:00	BOTH PERSONNEL AND CONTRACTED
00:42:39:00	00:42:40:00	SERVICES TO TO HELP GROW AND
00:42:40:00	00:42:43:00	EXPAND THIS WORK FURTHER AND
00:42:43:00	00:42:47:00	REALLY THE THE INVESTMENTS ARE
00:42:47:00	00:42:50:00	REALLY INTENDED TO COMPLEMENT
00:42:50:00	00:42:51:00	SOME OF THE WORK THAT YOU JUST
00:42:51:00	00:42:55:00	HEARD CHIEF INTERVIEW AND
00:42:55:00	00:42:56:00	DIRECTOR LEMME TALK ABOUT IN
00:42:56:00	00:42:59:00	SUPPLIER DIVERSITY WITH THE
00:42:59:00	00:43:02:00	ULTIMATE GOAL OF BOTH CLOSING
00:43:02:00	00:43:03:00	THE RACIAL WEALTH GAP HERE IN
00:43:03:00	00:43:06:00	THE CITY AS WELL AS JUST MAKING
00:43:06:00	00:43:07:00	SMART GOOD SENSE PROCUREMENT
00:43:07:00	00:43:10:00	IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR PROCESS.
00:43:10:00	00:43:14:00	SO WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
00:43:14:00	00:43:15:00	THE THE THE STRATEGIC
00:43:15:00	00:43:19:00	PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT WAS
00:43:19:00	00:43:20:00	STARTED OUR OFFICE WAS STARTED
00:43:20:00	00:43:23:00	A NUMBER OF YEARS GO WITHIN THE
00:43:23:00	00:43:26:00	CFOS OFFICE AND REALLY WITH THE
00:43:26:00	00:43:26:00	INTENTION OF MAKING PROCUREMENT
00:43:26:00	00:43:30:00	WORK BETTER, FASTER, EASIER FOR
00:43:30:00	00:43:31:00	FOLKS, LOWER THE BARRIERS FOR
00:43:31:00	00:43:32:00	PEOPLE TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE
00:43:32:00	00:43:33:00	CITY.
00:43:33:00	00:43:35:00	AND SO AFTER A FEW SUCCESSFUL
00:43:35:00	00:43:38:00	YEARS OF INCUBATING US WORK, WE
00:43:38:00	00:43:39:00	ARE MOVING IT INTO THE
00:43:39:00	00:43:42:00	PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT FOR A
00:43:42:00	00:43:42:00	COUPLE OF REASONS.
00:43:42:00	00:43:45:00	ONE TO REALLY REINFORCE A
00:43:45:00	00:43:46:00	STRUCTURE WITHIN FINANCE AND
00:43:46:00	00:43:47:00	WITHIN THE CABINET.
00:43:47:00	00:43:49:00	SO WE CAN HAVE A SORT OF ONE
00:43:49:00	00:44:00:00	PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO GO WHEN
00:44:00:00	00:44:00:00	THEY ARE BUYING GOODS OR
00:44:00:00	00:44:01:00	SERVICES.
00:44:01:00	00:44:02:00	AND AND LIKE I SAID, THE THE
00:44:02:00	00:44:02:00	WORK WAS REALLY STARTED AS A
00:44:02:00	00:44:03:00	WAY TO IMPROVE WHAT I THINK CAN
00:44:03:00	00:44:04:00	BE A CONFUSING MULTI-STEP
00:44:04:00	00:44:09:00	PROCESS FOR HOW YOU DO BUSINESS
00:44:09:00	00:44:10:00	WITH THE CITY.
00:44:10:00	00:44:11:00	AND SO COMING UP WITH
00:44:11:00	00:44:12:00	IMPROVEMENTS BOTH INTERNALLY IN
00:44:12:00	00:44:13:00	THE WAY THAT WE PUT OUT

00:44:20:00	00:44:21:00	EASIER TO DO WORK WITH THE CITY
00:44:21:00	00:44:24:00	AND THEN LASTLY REALLY WORKING
00:44:24:00	00:44:28:00	ON DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING
00:44:28:00	00:44:29:00	NEW POLICIES TO IMPROVE SERVICE

00:44:44:00	00:44:47:00	SORT DIVIDED INTO THREE
00:44:47:00	00:44:48:00	FUNCTIONAL AREAS THAT WE CAN

01:16:51:00	01:16:53:00	THEN NURTURED AND GROWN OVER
01:16:53:00	01:16:54:00	THE WORK THAT OUR OFFICE
01:16:54:00	01:16:55:00	OF WORKER EMPOWERMENT IS DOING.
01:16:55:00	01:16:57:00	WHEN YOU SAW THE TUITION FREE
01:16:57:00	01:16:58:00	PROGRAM WHICH I MEAN I

01:16:59:00	01:17:02:00	COMPARE THEMSELVES TO WHAT
01:17:02:00	01:17:02:00	BOSTON IS DOING TO PREPARE
01:17:02:00	01:17:05:00	BOSTON RESIDENTS FOR THE JOBS
01:17:05:00	01:17:06:00	OF THE FUTURE USING THE

01:17:07:00	01:17:10:00	OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGES, OUR
01:17:10:00	01:17:10:00	FINANCE TEAM AND WHAT ASHLEY
01:17:10:00	01:17:13:00	MENTIONED AROUND THE
01:17:13:00	01:17:14:00	PROCUREMENT WORK THAT WE'RE
01:17:14:00	01:17:15:00	DOING SO YOU KNOW, THE SMALL
01:17:15:00	01:17:17:00	BUSINESSES THAT WE HAVE, YOU
01:17:17:00	01:17:18:00	KNOW, THEY DON'T GROW AND
01:17:18:00	01:17:20:00	THRIVE IN SCALE IF WE ARE NOT
01:17:20:00	01:17:21:00	ALSO DOING BUSINESS WITH THOSE
01:17:21:00	01:17:21:00	BUSINESSES.
01:17:21:00	01:17:22:00	AND SO THE WORK WE'RE DOING
01:17:22:00	01:17:25:00	THROUGH PROCUREMENT TO AWARD
01:17:25:00	01:17:26:00	MORE OF OUR CONTRACTS TO

01:17:29:00	01:17:29:00	AND THOSE OWNED BY PEOPLE
01:17:29:00	01:17:30:00	OF COLOR AND WOMEN AND THEN
01:17:30:00	01:17:33:00	NONE OF THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE
01:17:33:00	01:17:35:00	TO 18000 EMPLOYEES WITHOUT THE
01:17:35:00	01:17:36:00	WORK THAT OUR PEOPLE OPERATIONS

01:17:42:00	01:17:44:00	COMMUNITIES THAT WE'RE SERVING
01:17:44:00	01:17:45:00	BUT ALSO THAT WE'RE PAYING FAIR
01:17:45:00	01:17:48:00	WAGES THAT ARE ALSO FAMILY

01:17:49:00	01:17:52:00	ADVANCEMENT WITHIN THE CITY.
01:17:52:00	01:17:53:00	SO I HOPE I THINK THAT MIGHT
01:17:53:00	01:17:57:00	THAT COVER EVERYONE WHO I MISS

01:19:53:00	01:19:54:00	OF WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

01:22:05:00	01:22:08:00	THE GREAT WORK THAT WE'RE DOING
01:22:08:00	01:22:08:00	HERE IN THE CITY OF BOSTON
01:22:08:00	01:22:11:00	AROUND SMALL BUSINESSES AND
01:22:11:00	01:22:12:00	INVESTING IN OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
01:22:12:00	01:22:23:00	AND WORKFORCE AND THIS IS KIND
01:22:23:00	01:22:23:00	OF FOLLOWING UP ON
01:22:23:00	01:22:24:00	COUNCILOR ANDERSON'S LINE
01:22:24:00	01:22:24:00	OF QUESTIONING AROUND
01:22:24:00	01:22:24:00	PROCUREMENT.
01:22:24:00	01:22:25:00	WE'RE DOING BOTH GREAT WORK IN
01:22:25:00	01:22:26:00	PROCUREMENT AND SUPPLY
01:22:26:00	01:22:26:00	DIVERSITY AND WHAT SEEMS LIKE
01:22:26:00	01:22:27:00	WE'RE SCALING UP IN BOTH
01:22:27:00	01:22:30:00	DEPARTMENT.
01:22:30:00	01:22:31:00	DOES IT MAKE MORE SENSE JUST A
01:22:31:00	01:22:34:00	HOUSE YOU KNOW, PROCUREMENT
01:22:34:00	01:22:35:00	UNDER UNDER SUPPLY AND
01:22:35:00	01:22:38:00	DIVERSITY SINCE THEY'RE
01:22:38:00	01:22:41:00	DIRECTLY IN CONTACT WITH THE
01:22:41:00	01:22:42:00	BUSINESSES AND I THINK THAT
01:22:42:00	01:22:45:00	THEIR POLICIES KIND
01:22:45:00	01:22:49:00	OF PRIORITIZE THE EQUITY PART
01:22:49:00	01:22:50:00	OF IT AS WELL.
01:22:50:00	01:22:51:00	AND I BELIEVE ALSO IT WOULD
01:22:51:00	01:22:52:00	JUST KIND OF PREVENT FROM
01:22:52:00	01:22:54:00	DUPLICATION QUESTION I RAISE I
01:22:54:00	01:22:58:00	GUESS EITHER ASHLEY OR CHEAPY
01:22:58:00	01:23:02:00	TO ANDRE NOT SURE WHO WHO CAN
01:23:02:00	01:23:02:00	TAKE THAT ON.
01:23:02:00	01:23:06:00	I'M HAPPY TO TAKE A STAB AT THE
01:23:06:00	01:23:06:00	QUESTION COUNCILOR AND THEN
01:23:06:00	01:23:09:00	CHIEF, YOU AND ANDRE CAN CHIME
01:23:09:00	01:23:09:00	IN AS WELL.
01:23:09:00	01:23:13:00	I THINK IT'S A GREAT QUESTION
01:23:13:00	01:23:14:00	AND SOMETHING THAT CHIEF AND I
01:23:14:00	01:23:17:00	HAVE TALKED ABOUT SINCE I
01:23:17:00	01:23:21:00	JOINED AND IN THE LAST YEAR OR
01:23:21:00	01:23:24:00	SO I THINK THE RELATIONSHIP
01:23:24:00	01:23:25:00	THAT EXISTS BETWEEN THE
01:23:25:00	01:23:26:00	PROCUREMENT OFFICE AND THE
01:23:26:00	01:23:29:00	SUPPLIER DIVERSITY TEAM IS
01:23:29:00	01:23:30:00	REALLY STRONG AND THEY WORK IN
01:23:30:00	01:23:32:00	REALLY, REALLY CLOSE
01:23:32:00	01:23:33:00	PARTNERSHIP.
01:23:33:00	01:23:36:00	AND SO I DON'T BELIEVE THAT
01:23:36:00	01:23:37:00	THERE IS DUPLICATION HAPPENING
01:23:37:00	01:23:40:00	BUT RATHER THERE'S A REALLY
01:23:40:00	01:23:41:00	STRONG PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH
01:23:41:00	01:23:43:00	DIRECTOR LIMAS TEAM IS REALLY
01:23:43:00	01:23:44:00	GETTING THE BUSINESS AS
01:23:44:00	01:23:48:00	CERTIFIED AND CONNECTING TO
01:23:48:00	01:23:49:00	PROCUREMENT AND THEN THE
01:23:49:00	01:23:51:00	PROCUREMENT TEAM IS DOING THE
01:23:51:00	01:23:52:00	ACTUAL TECHNICAL WORK OF DOING
01:23:52:00	01:23:56:00	THE PURCHASING GETTING
01:23:56:00	01:23:56:00	CONTRACTS SET UP.
01:23:56:00	01:23:57:00	SO I THINK THEY'RE REALLY
01:23:57:00	01:24:00:00	COMPLEMENTARY SKILL SETS AND
01:24:00:00	01:24:04:00	WORK THAT'S HAPPENING AND THERE
01:24:04:00	01:24:08:00	IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT VOLUME
01:24:08:00	01:24:09:00	OF WORK THAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR
01:24:09:00	01:24:11:00	ESPECIALLY OUR GOODS
01:24:11:00	01:24:11:00	PROCUREMENT SIDE WHERE WE'RE
01:24:11:00	01:24:15:00	BUYING FIRE TRUCKS AND PENS,
01:24:15:00	01:24:19:00	PAPER, THINGS LIKE THAT THAT
01:24:19:00	01:24:22:00	HAPPENS SORT OF INVISIBLY
01:24:22:00	01:24:23:00	BEHIND THE SCENES THAT WE HAVE
01:24:23:00	01:24:27:00	A REALLY STRONG OPERATION
01:24:27:00	01:24:28:00	THAT'S THAT'S DOING THAT AS
01:24:28:00	01:24:28:00	WELL.
01:24:28:00	01:24:29:00	SO I I THINK THERE'S GREAT
01:24:29:00	01:24:31:00	PARTNERSHIP THAT EXISTS.
01:24:31:00	01:24:32:00	WE'RE EXCITED THAT THERE ARE
01:24:32:00	01:24:35:00	ADDITIONAL RESOURCES INCLUDED
01:24:35:00	01:24:36:00	FOR BOTH TEAMS.
01:24:36:00	01:24:39:00	IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE CONSTANTLY
01:24:39:00	01:24:40:00	THINKING ABOUT THOUGH AND IF
01:24:40:00	01:24:40:00	THERE ARE MORE OPPORTUNITIES IN
01:24:40:00	01:24:43:00	THE FUTURE TO MORE CLOSELY
01:24:43:00	01:24:44:00	ALIGNED THAT WORK, WE'RE HAPPY
01:24:44:00	01:24:44:00	TO EXPLORE THOSE.
01:24:44:00	01:24:47:00	BUT WE THINK FOR THE UPCOMING
01:24:47:00	01:24:50:00	YEAR WITH THE NEW RESOURCES AND
01:24:50:00	01:24:51:00	THE SCALING UP THAT WILL JUST
01:24:51:00	01:24:52:00	CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN THAT
01:24:52:00	01:24:54:00	PARTNERSHIP THAT CURRENTLY
01:24:54:00	01:24:59:00	EXISTS OF TVEIT WHO HAD
01:24:59:00	01:25:01:00	SOMETHING TO SAY.
01:25:01:00	01:25:05:00	I THINK THAT CHUBAROV AMBERGER
01:25:05:00	01:25:07:00	KIND OF SUMMED IT UP, YOU KNOW,
01:25:07:00	01:25:10:00	WITH PASSING OF THE BUDGET I
01:25:10:00	01:25:11:00	THINK, YOU KNOW, THERE'LL BE
01:25:11:00	01:25:13:00	SIX NEW ROLES AND SUPPLIER
01:25:13:00	01:25:14:00	DIVERSITY THAT DON'T CURRENTLY
01:25:14:00	01:25:17:00	EXIST THAT ARE MEANT TO WORK
01:25:17:00	01:25:18:00	MORE CLOSELY WITH DEPARTMENTS
01:25:18:00	01:25:21:00	TO HELP ACHIEVE THEIR ANDREI'S
01:25:21:00	01:25:22:00	OR NOT EITHER YES OR NO IF I'M
01:25:22:00	01:25:25:00	CORRECT IN THAT BECAUSE BUT YOU
01:25:25:00	01:25:28:00	KNOW, AS WE'RE BUILDING UP THE
01:25:28:00	01:25:29:00	TEAM, YOU KNOW, AS ASHLEY
01:25:29:00	01:25:30:00	MENTIONED, THEY'RE WORKING MUCH
01:25:30:00	01:25:32:00	MORE CLOSELY TOGETHER AND
01:25:32:00	01:25:33:00	ACTUALLY MANY OF THEM HAVE BEEN
01:25:33:00	01:25:37:00	I MEAN I SEE MIKE MILLER HERE
01:25:37:00	01:25:38:00	JOHN DOFOR ANDRE AND SUPPLIER
01:25:38:00	01:25:40:00	DIVERSITY HAVE BEEN PRETTY
01:25:40:00	01:25:41:00	JOINED AT THE HIP.
01:25:41:00	01:25:45:00	YOU KNOW, IN THE LAST YEAR OR
01:25:45:00	01:25:45:00	TWO TO HELP PUSH SOME OF THESE
01:25:45:00	01:25:48:00	POLICIES FORWARD AND HELP US
01:25:48:00	01:25:49:00	ACHIEVE SOME OF OUR GOALS.
01:25:49:00	01:25:52:00	SO I THINK AS ASHLEY SAID, I
01:25:52:00	01:25:53:00	THINK IN THE FUTURE TO YOU
01:25:53:00	01:25:55:00	KNOW, I THINK WE CAN REASSESS
01:25:55:00	01:25:59:00	AND COMING FISCAL YEARS WHAT
01:25:59:00	01:26:00:00	WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH BOTH
01:26:00:00	01:26:02:00	TEAMS AND AND WHAT THE
01:26:02:00	01:26:03:00	COUNCIL MIGHT RECOMMEND FOR
01:26:03:00	01:26:07:00	FURTHER ALIGNING THE WORK.
01:26:07:00	01:26:07:00	THANK YOU.
01:26:07:00	01:26:08:00	AND YEAH, DEFINITELY SOUNDS
01:26:08:00	01:26:11:00	LIKE BECAUSE OF THE STRONG
01:26:11:00	01:26:12:00	RELATIONSHIP AND THE ALIGNMENT
01:26:12:00	01:26:15:00	THAT I BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD
01:26:15:00	01:26:18:00	BE DEFINITELY UNDER ONE HOUSE
01:26:18:00	01:26:19:00	GOING OVER TO THE TUITION FREE
01:26:19:00	01:26:22:00	COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
01:26:22:00	01:26:26:00	I LOVE THIS PROGRAM.
01:26:26:00	01:26:27:00	ONE QUESTION I HAVE IS YOU
01:26:27:00	01:26:30:00	KNOW, IF A STUDENT DECIDES TO
01:26:30:00	01:26:30:00	TRANSFER FROM A COMMUNITY
01:26:30:00	01:26:31:00	COLLEGE AND GO TO I SAY LIKE A
01:26:31:00	01:26:34:00	NE SUFFIXED, IS THERE ANYTHING
01:26:34:00	01:26:40:00	THAT SUPPORTS DESK'S, THAT
01:26:40:00	01:26:40:00	TRANSFER?
01:26:40:00	01:26:41:00	THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION,
01:26:41:00	01:26:44:00	COUNSELOR.
01:26:44:00	01:26:44:00	SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.
01:26:44:00	01:26:48:00	WE LOVE THE TUITION FREE
01:26:48:00	01:26:48:00	COMMUNITY COLLEGE PROGRAM AS
01:26:48:00	01:26:49:00	WELL.
01:26:49:00	01:26:52:00	RIGHT NOW OUR PRIORITY IS TO
01:26:52:00	01:26:53:00	WORK WITH STATE FUNDED SCHOOLS
01:26:53:00	01:26:56:00	MAINLY BECAUSE WE CAN LEVERAGE
01:26:56:00	01:27:00:00	THOSE THOSE DOLLARS SO
01:27:00:00	01:27:00:00	UNFORTUNATELY PRIVATE SCHOOLS
01:27:00:00	01:27:03:00	SUCH AS NORTH-EASTERN
01:27:03:00	01:27:04:00	UNIVERSITY SUFFIT EU ARE
01:27:04:00	01:27:07:00	PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND SO WE WE'D
01:27:07:00	01:27:11:00	LIKE THOSE PRIVATE SCHOOLS TO
01:27:11:00	01:27:12:00	PICK UP THAT TUITION.
01:27:12:00	01:27:14:00	BUT I THINK THAT'S OUR LONG
01:27:14:00	01:27:15:00	TERM RANGE.
01:27:15:00	01:27:19:00	BUT RIGHT NOW IF THE FCC
01:27:19:00	01:27:22:00	COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS
01:27:22:00	01:27:23:00	TRANSFER TO ANY OF THE FOUR
01:27:23:00	01:27:23:00	YEARS STATE FUNDED SCHOOLS,
01:27:23:00	01:27:26:00	THEIR TUITION A BACHELOR'S
01:27:26:00	01:27:27:00	DEGREE WOULD BE PAID.
01:27:27:00	01:27:30:00	BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT GEARED
01:27:30:00	01:27:31:00	TOWARDS PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN MY
01:27:31:00	01:27:34:00	PERSONAL OPINION.
01:27:34:00	01:27:35:00	I THINK PRIVATE SCHOOLS SHOULD
01:27:35:00	01:27:38:00	PICK UP THE TAB FOR STUDENTS.
01:27:38:00	01:27:42:00	BUT THAT'S THAT'S JUST ON THE
01:27:42:00	01:27:43:00	SO MUCH MORE WORK TO DO AROUND
01:27:43:00	01:27:46:00	PILOT AND I DO AGREE THAT YOU
01:27:46:00	01:27:47:00	THEY SHOULD BE KICKING IN A LOT
01:27:47:00	01:27:47:00	MORE.
01:27:47:00	01:27:48:00	BUT I ALSO WANT TO HEAR A
01:27:48:00	01:27:49:00	LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE
01:27:49:00	01:27:50:00	BOSTON'S ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION
01:27:50:00	01:27:53:00	INITIATIVE THAT'S CURRENTLY UP
01:27:53:00	01:27:54:00	AND RUNNING AND HOW MANY
01:27:54:00	01:27:57:00	STUDENTS ARE ENROLLED, HOW DOES
01:27:57:00	01:27:58:00	A STUDENT GET ENROLLED AND HAVE
01:27:58:00	01:28:02:00	WE HAVE AND HAVE WE HAD ANY JOB
01:28:02:00	01:28:02:00	PLACEMENTS SO FAR?
01:28:02:00	01:28:04:00	THAT'S GREAT.
01:28:04:00	01:28:05:00	ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION I'D LOVE
01:28:05:00	01:28:08:00	I DON'T HAVE THE DATA IN FRONT
01:28:08:00	01:28:09:00	OF ME AND I DON'T WANT TO THROW
01:28:09:00	01:28:13:00	OUT INFORMATION THAT IS NOT AS
01:28:13:00	01:28:14:00	ACCURATE AS I LIKE IT TO BE.
01:28:14:00	01:28:16:00	SO I NEED TO FOLLOW WITH YOU ON
01:28:16:00	01:28:17:00	THOSE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS BUT
01:28:17:00	01:28:19:00	FOR OUR ALTERNATIVE IN ADULT
01:28:19:00	01:28:20:00	EDUCATION OR YOUNG ADULTS
01:28:20:00	01:28:24:00	THAT'S ONE AREA IN WHICH WE
01:28:24:00	01:28:24:00	WANT TO HEAVILY INVEST AND
01:28:24:00	01:28:29:00	WHICH IS LOOKING AT I WOULDN'T
01:28:29:00	01:28:30:00	SAY ALTERNATIVE CAREER PATHWAYS
01:28:30:00	01:28:37:00	BUT MORE OF A DIFFERENCE IN
01:28:37:00	01:28:38:00	THAT FIRST PIPELINE FOR
01:28:38:00	01:28:41:00	VOCATIONAL TRACKS AND DIFFERENT
01:28:41:00	01:28:42:00	CAREER PATHWAYS THAT MAY NOT BE
01:28:42:00	01:28:46:00	CONVENTIONAL BUT WILL LEAD TO
01:28:46:00	01:28:46:00	GOOD PAYING JOBS.
01:28:46:00	01:28:47:00	SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE
01:28:47:00	01:28:49:00	ARE ALIGNING IS TO MAKE SURE
01:28:49:00	01:28:53:00	THAT THOSE EMPLOYERS THERE WITH
01:28:53:00	01:28:56:00	A GUARANTEED JOB PLACEMENTS FOR
01:28:56:00	01:28:57:00	THE GRADUATES THAT COME OUT
01:28:57:00	01:28:58:00	OF THERE.
01:28:58:00	01:29:00:00	SO WE'RE PUTTING THE PIECES
01:29:00:00	01:29:01:00	TOGETHER WITH THE STATE ON

01:29:21:00	01:29:22:00	BUT HOW DOES HOW DOES A STUDENT

01:29:59:00	01:30:00:00	HIRE CENTERS FOR REFERRALS.
01:30:00:00	01:30:04:00	WE DO HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB
01:30:04:00	01:30:08:00	WITH LOCATING THOSE WHO ARE NOT

01:43:29:00	01:43:30:00	POLICY IS ACTUALLY BEING
01:43:30:00	01:43:34:00	ENFORCED, FINDING OUT FINDING

01:43:45:00	01:43:46:00	REALLY LOOK AT WHAT A POLICY
01:43:46:00	01:43:48:00	AGENDA FOR THE BOSTON RESIDENT

02:04:24:00	02:04:25:00	TERMS OF OUR FUNDING TO GET
02:04:25:00	02:04:25:00	THAT OUT.
02:04:25:00	02:04:29:00	AND SO I THINK KIND OF THAT'S
02:04:29:00	02:04:30:00	WHAT HAS BEEN ONE OF OUR FOCUS
02:04:30:00	02:04:33:00	AREAS OVER THE LAST COUPLE
02:04:33:00	02:04:34:00	OF MONTHS TO MAKE SURE THAT
02:04:34:00	02:04:37:00	BUSINESSES UNDERSTAND HOW OUR
02:04:37:00	02:04:41:00	PROGRAMS CAN BE SUPPORTIVE TO
02:04:41:00	02:04:42:00	THAT TO TO THEM IN TERMS
02:04:42:00	02:04:43:00	OF FUNDING.
02:04:43:00	02:04:44:00	WE HAVE OUR MAJOR PROGRAMS THAT
02:04:44:00	02:04:47:00	WE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT BEFORE.

02:04:52:00	02:04:52:00	MAIN STREETS SWITCHBOARD WHICH
02:04:52:00	02:04:54:00	WORK WITH BUSINESSES DIRECTLY
02:04:54:00	02:04:55:00	BUT THEN ALSO WE ARE GOING TO
02:04:55:00	02:04:59:00	LAUNCH HOPEFULLY BY THE END
02:04:59:00	02:05:00:00	OF THE MONTH OR EARLY NEXT NEXT
02:05:00:00	02:05:02:00	MONTH WHICH IS THE RESTAURANT

02:05:03:00	02:05:06:00	BIG PART IN.
02:05:06:00	02:05:07:00	AND IN THAT PROGRAM WE'RE
02:05:07:00	02:05:08:00	REALLY JUST TRYING TO BE
02:05:08:00	02:05:09:00	INTENTIONAL AND MAKING SURE
02:05:09:00	02:05:11:00	WE'RE WE'RE KIND OF HITTING ALL
02:05:11:00	02:05:15:00	THE BUSINESSES WHO THE PROGRAM
02:05:15:00	02:05:16:00	WAS INTENDED TO SUPPORT AND
02:05:16:00	02:05:18:00	BECAUSE OF THAT IT'S TAKING
02:05:18:00	02:05:19:00	LONGER FOR US TO KIND OF BUILD
02:05:19:00	02:05:21:00	THAT OUT AND WORK ON IT BECAUSE
02:05:21:00	02:05:22:00	WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE
02:05:22:00	02:05:23:00	GETTING BUY-IN FROM THE
02:05:23:00	02:05:24:00	COMMUNITY ON THE PROGRAM TO
02:05:24:00	02:05:26:00	MAKE SURE WE HAVE TAKEN THAT WE

02:05:37:00	02:05:38:00	THAT PROCESS AND INCORPORATING
02:05:38:00	02:05:41:00	OUR LEARNINGS INTO THIS NEW
02:05:41:00	02:05:41:00	ONE.
02:05:41:00	02:05:42:00	SO WE'RE NOT MAKING THE SAME
02:05:42:00	02:05:45:00	ERRORS AND WE'RE BEING
02:05:45:00	02:05:45:00	RECEPTIVE TO TWO BUSINESSES.
02:05:45:00	02:05:49:00	THANK YOU ALICIA AND THANK TELL
02:05:49:00	02:05:49:00	THEM ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE
02:05:49:00	02:05:50:00	PROGRAM.
02:05:50:00	02:05:53:00	I THOUGHT THAT I WAS THINKING
02:05:53:00	02:05:54:00	ABOUT WHETHER IT HAD BEEN
02:05:54:00	02:05:55:00	ROLLED OUT OR NOT AND IT'S GOOD
02:05:55:00	02:05:56:00	TO KNOW THAT IT HASN'T AND THAT
02:05:56:00	02:05:57:00	IT WILL SOON BE SOMETHING THAT
02:05:57:00	02:05:58:00	I WANT TO BRING UP TO YOU AND I
02:05:58:00	02:06:00:00	WANT SQUARELY PLACED HERE
02:06:00:00	02:06:01:00	BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING THAT
02:06:01:00	02:06:04:00	WE'VE SEEN ON OUR SHE WALKS IS
02:06:04:00	02:06:08:00	THAT IT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT
02:06:08:00	02:06:09:00	IF IT CAN BE A PILOT PROGRAM
02:06:09:00	02:06:12:00	AND I SEE THIS AS A LAWYER BUT
02:06:12:00	02:06:13:00	I'M SEEING THIS AS SOMEONE WHO
02:06:13:00	02:06:14:00	SEES HOW OUR BUSINESSES REALLY
02:06:14:00	02:06:16:00	STRUGGLE A BLACK AND BROWN
02:06:16:00	02:06:16:00	BUSINESSES AND WE MATTAPAN
02:06:16:00	02:06:19:00	TOGETHER ARE PROGRAMS WE
02:06:19:00	02:06:19:00	PROVIDE FREE COUNCILOR FOR
02:06:19:00	02:06:23:00	BUSINESSES OR SOME SORT
02:06:23:00	02:06:24:00	OF PARTNERSHIP OR WHERE LIKE
02:06:24:00	02:06:24:00	WHEN THEY'RE SIGNING LEASES
02:06:24:00	02:06:27:00	THEY HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING
02:06:27:00	02:06:27:00	OF WHAT THEY'RE SIGNING THAT
02:06:27:00	02:06:28:00	THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO
02:06:28:00	02:06:31:00	NEGOTIATE THE TERMS THEY WANT
02:06:31:00	02:06:32:00	TO JUST JUST PUTTING THAT OUT
02:06:32:00	02:06:33:00	THERE BECAUSE I THINK WE HAD
02:06:33:00	02:06:34:00	SEEN THAT THERE'S LIKE A NEED
02:06:34:00	02:06:35:00	FOR THAT.
02:06:35:00	02:06:36:00	BUT IF WE CAN EXPLORE THAT MORE
02:06:36:00	02:06:38:00	CHEAP I SEE YOU COMING UP AND
02:06:38:00	02:06:39:00	JUST TO SAY THAT POINT IS NOT
02:06:39:00	02:06:42:00	ONLY VALID BUT SOMETHING THAT
02:06:42:00	02:06:43:00	WE HAVE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT FOR
02:06:43:00	02:06:43:00	NEW PROGRAMING.
02:06:43:00	02:06:46:00	SO I SAY THE TECHNICAL
02:06:46:00	02:06:47:00	ASSISTANCE THAT SMALL BUSINESS
02:06:47:00	02:06:49:00	DOES THAT IS AN OFFERING BUT
02:06:49:00	02:06:50:00	MORE INTENTIONALLY AROUND THE
02:06:50:00	02:06:53:00	SPACE PROGRAM AND YOU ASK THE
02:06:53:00	02:06:54:00	QUESTION ABOUT WHICH BUSINESSES
02:06:54:00	02:06:54:00	ARE STRUGGLING.
02:06:54:00	02:06:55:00	ALICIA MENTIONED THE
02:06:55:00	02:06:57:00	RESTAURANTS YOU KNOW, IT'S
02:06:57:00	02:06:58:00	REALLY ENTER ANY OF OUR
02:06:58:00	02:07:01:00	STOREFRONT BUSINESSES ARE
02:07:01:00	02:07:02:00	SUFFERING BECAUSE OF THE LACK
02:07:02:00	02:07:02:00	OF FOOT TRAFFIC MORE PEOPLE ARE
02:07:02:00	02:07:05:00	ORDERING OUT, YOU KNOW, WORKING
02:07:05:00	02:07:05:00	FROM HOME, ET CETERA.
02:07:05:00	02:07:08:00	AND SO A LOT OF THEM ARE
02:07:08:00	02:07:09:00	SUFFERING ACROSS INDUSTRY AND
02:07:09:00	02:07:12:00	THIS IS WHY WE DEVELOPED A
02:07:12:00	02:07:13:00	SPACE PROGRAM AND WE'RE
02:07:13:00	02:07:14:00	GRATEFUL TO THE COUNCIL FOR
02:07:14:00	02:07:14:00	AUTHORIZING THE NINE MILLION
02:07:14:00	02:07:17:00	DOLLARS TO LAUNCH THIS PROGRAM
02:07:17:00	02:07:18:00	AND THE FIRST WAVE IS GOING TO
02:07:18:00	02:07:20:00	GO OUT NEXT MONTH.
02:07:20:00	02:07:23:00	BUT PART OF THAT IS HAVING THE
02:07:23:00	02:07:24:00	CITY LITERALLY SIT AT THE TABLE
02:07:24:00	02:07:27:00	WITH ENTREPRENEURS AT THE
02:07:27:00	02:07:28:00	NEGOTIATING TABLE WHEN IT COMES
02:07:28:00	02:07:29:00	TO THEIR LEASES BECAUSE WE
02:07:29:00	02:07:31:00	DON'T WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE
02:07:31:00	02:07:32:00	HAPPEN AS WE SAY OH, WE HAVE
02:07:32:00	02:07:33:00	THREE YEARS WORTH OF RENT AND
02:07:33:00	02:07:36:00	LANDLORDS ARE A GREAT WE'LL
02:07:36:00	02:07:36:00	TAKE THE MONEY AND THEN AFTER
02:07:36:00	02:07:37:00	THREE YEARS BECAUSE THEY HAD A
02:07:37:00	02:07:40:00	THREE YEAR LEASE, THEY SAY
02:07:40:00	02:07:40:00	WE'RE GOING TO JACK IT UP BY
02:07:40:00	02:07:41:00	20000 DOLLARS NEXT MONTH AND
02:07:41:00	02:07:43:00	NOW YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO BE
02:07:43:00	02:07:44:00	THERE.
02:07:44:00	02:07:44:00	SO WE'RE DEFINITELY VERY
02:07:44:00	02:07:46:00	FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE THAT
02:07:46:00	02:07:47:00	PARTICULAR ON THE LEGAL SIDE
02:07:47:00	02:07:48:00	THAT THAT OFFERING IS AVAILABLE
02:07:48:00	02:07:50:00	TO BUSINESSES.
02:07:50:00	02:07:51:00	YEAH, AND I THINK ABOUT AND
02:07:51:00	02:07:52:00	THAT'S GREAT.
02:07:52:00	02:07:53:00	I THINK ABOUT LIKE THE WORK
02:07:53:00	02:07:54:00	THAT WE NEED TO DO TO REALLY
02:07:54:00	02:07:55:00	STAND THE GAP.
02:07:55:00	02:07:56:00	WE'RE LIKE THE ASYMMETRY
02:07:56:00	02:07:56:00	OF INFORMATION THAT EXISTS FOR
02:07:56:00	02:07:58:00	OUR BUSINESS OWNERS AND MAIN
02:07:58:00	02:07:58:00	STREETS.
02:07:58:00	02:08:01:00	SO I JUST THINK IF THERE'S LIKE
02:08:01:00	02:08:02:00	WE COULD DO AROUND MORE FUNDING
02:08:02:00	02:08:03:00	AND SUPPORT BECAUSE OUR MAIN
02:08:03:00	02:08:06:00	ISSUES ARE ARE TRYING TO DO THE
02:08:06:00	02:08:09:00	HERCULEAN HERCULEAN EFFORTS
02:08:09:00	02:08:10:00	INSTEAD OF THE GOT BUT THEY
02:08:10:00	02:08:11:00	CAN'T DO IT ALONE.
02:08:11:00	02:08:12:00	AND SO MORE CREATIVITY ABOUT
02:08:12:00	02:08:14:00	HOW WE SUPPORT WITH OUR MAIN
02:08:14:00	02:08:14:00	STREETS AND OUR BUSINESSES.
02:08:14:00	02:08:17:00	I THINK I'M FULLY SUPPORTIVE
02:08:17:00	02:08:18:00	OF WHAT WE CAN DO THAT THE
02:08:18:00	02:08:20:00	SPACE PROGRAM BUT ALSO LIKE
02:08:20:00	02:08:21:00	LITERALLY HOW TO BE THERE AT
02:08:21:00	02:08:24:00	THE TABLE TO REALLY BALANCE
02:08:24:00	02:08:25:00	THAT ASYMMETRY OF POWER AND
02:08:25:00	02:08:29:00	INFORMATION.
02:08:29:00	02:08:29:00	SECOND QUESTION IS REGARDING
02:08:29:00	02:08:33:00	RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO A
02:08:33:00	02:08:34:00	BUSINESS IN THE EVENT OF ANY
02:08:34:00	02:08:34:00	UNFORESEEN DISASTER OR
02:08:34:00	02:08:34:00	EMERGENCY.
02:08:34:00	02:08:36:00	SO I REALLY, YOU KNOW, CARE A
02:08:36:00	02:08:37:00	LOT ABOUT ASSISTANCE AND TO
02:08:37:00	02:08:40:00	MAKE THESE BUSINESS FRUITFUL I
02:08:40:00	02:08:41:00	THINK ABOUT THE RIVER STREET
02:08:41:00	02:08:44:00	BRIDGE CLOSURE CLOSURE ON IN
02:08:44:00	02:08:45:00	HYDE PARK AND HOW BUSINESSES
02:08:45:00	02:08:48:00	THAT ALSO DEPENDED ON FOOT
02:08:48:00	02:08:52:00	TRAFFIC WERE REALLY IMPACTED
02:08:52:00	02:08:52:00	THANKS TO THE MAIN STREET'S
02:08:52:00	02:08:53:00	MONEY THAT THEY RECEIVE FROM
02:08:53:00	02:08:53:00	THE STATE.
02:08:53:00	02:08:55:00	THERE'S SOME GRAVITY GRANTS
02:08:55:00	02:08:56:00	THAT WERE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE
02:08:56:00	02:08:56:00	BUSINESSES AND I WAS THINKING
02:08:56:00	02:08:59:00	LIKE IS THERE SO WE CAN BE
02:08:59:00	02:09:00:00	DOING ON THE CITY LEVEL IS
02:09:00:00	02:09:03:00	THERE AN AVENUE A PROGRAM THAT
02:09:03:00	02:09:04:00	HAVING A CITY LEVEL TO HELP BUT
02:09:04:00	02:09:05:00	LIKE FOLKS SOMETHING ABOUT LIKE
02:09:05:00	02:09:07:00	A FORCE MAJEURE, THINGS THAT
02:09:07:00	02:09:08:00	ARE OUTSIDE THAT THAT NOT
02:09:08:00	02:09:10:00	WITHIN THEIR CONTROL ESPECIALLY
02:09:10:00	02:09:12:00	THAT ARE A RESULT OF SOME SORT
02:09:12:00	02:09:12:00	OF GOVERNMENT ACTION OR
02:09:12:00	02:09:13:00	INACTION THAT MAKES THEIR
02:09:13:00	02:09:15:00	BUSINESS IMPACTS ON THEIR
02:09:15:00	02:09:16:00	BUSINESS MODEL PREVENTS FOOT
02:09:16:00	02:09:18:00	TRAFFIC LIKE ARE WE ABLE TO
02:09:18:00	02:09:19:00	HAVE A PILOT PROGRAM OR HAVE
02:09:19:00	02:09:22:00	SOME SORT SUPPORT FOR
02:09:22:00	02:09:23:00	BUSINESSES THAT FIND THEMSELVES
02:09:23:00	02:09:23:00	IN THOSE SITUATIONS?
02:09:23:00	02:09:26:00	WELL, I KNOW THAT SMALL
02:09:26:00	02:09:30:00	BUSINESS HAS A FUND TO TRY TO
02:09:30:00	02:09:31:00	BE RESPONSIVE AND ONE OF THE
02:09:31:00	02:09:33:00	REQUESTS FOR THE 250000 DOLLARS
02:09:33:00	02:09:34:00	IN THE RECOMMENDED BUDGET IS TO
02:09:34:00	02:09:37:00	BE ABLE TO ALLOW FOR EMERGENCY
02:09:37:00	02:09:41:00	SUPPORT THROUGH GRANT FUNDING.
02:09:41:00	02:09:42:00	HOWEVER, YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS I
02:09:42:00	02:09:45:00	REALLY DO APPRECIATE THAT
02:09:45:00	02:09:46:00	QUESTION BECAUSE IT GIVES US
02:09:46:00	02:09:46:00	THE OPPORTUNITY TO MENTION THAT
02:09:46:00	02:09:48:00	A LOT OF FRONT OF THE FUNDING
02:09:48:00	02:09:49:00	THAT THE CITY HAS GIVEN OUT
02:09:49:00	02:09:50:00	OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS HAS
02:09:50:00	02:09:52:00	BEEN A DIRECT RESULT OF THE
02:09:52:00	02:09:53:00	FEDERAL STIMULUS THAT CAME TO
02:09:53:00	02:09:57:00	CITIES AND SO THAT FUNDING IS
02:09:57:00	02:10:00:00	GOING TO DRY UP AND SO HAPPY TO
02:10:00:00	02:10:01:00	WORK WITH THE COUNCIL ON
02:10:01:00	02:10:02:00	ADDITIONAL RESOURCES THAT THE
02:10:02:00	02:10:04:00	CITY PROVIDES, ALTHOUGH I DON'T
02:10:04:00	02:10:04:00	THINK THAT WE'LL EVER BE ABLE
02:10:04:00	02:10:07:00	TO MATCH WHAT THE FEDS GAVE US
02:10:07:00	02:10:08:00	IN THE FACT THAT IT WAS
02:10:08:00	02:10:09:00	MILLIONS AND MILLIONS
02:10:09:00	02:10:11:00	OF DOLLARS.
02:10:11:00	02:10:12:00	NOT SURE WHAT OUR BUDGET IS TO
02:10:12:00	02:10:13:00	BE ABLE TO ALLOW FOR SOMETHING
02:10:13:00	02:10:15:00	LIKE THAT.
02:10:15:00	02:10:16:00	HOWEVER, I DO THINK THAT IT
02:10:16:00	02:10:19:00	WOULD BE PRETTY INTERESTING AND
02:10:19:00	02:10:20:00	COOL TO WORK WITH THE
02:10:20:00	02:10:20:00	COUNCIL AND HOW WE CONNECT WITH
02:10:20:00	02:10:23:00	THE PRIVATE SECTOR BECAUSE
02:10:23:00	02:10:24:00	THERE'S A LOT OF FOLKS IN THE
02:10:24:00	02:10:26:00	PRIVATE SECTOR THAT WANT TO
02:10:26:00	02:10:27:00	SUPPORT BUSINESSES WHETHER IT
02:10:27:00	02:10:28:00	BE OUR BANKS OR OTHER
02:10:28:00	02:10:30:00	CORPORATIONS AND COMPANIES AND
02:10:30:00	02:10:34:00	HOW WE CREATE A JOINT FUND THAT
02:10:34:00	02:10:35:00	OTHERS CAN GIVE TO THAT ALLOW
02:10:35:00	02:10:36:00	US TO SUPPORT BUSINESSES
02:10:36:00	02:10:38:00	BECAUSE YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT
02:10:38:00	02:10:39:00	TO JUST RELY ON THE CITY
02:10:39:00	02:10:41:00	COFFERS.
02:10:41:00	02:10:42:00	THERE'S MANY, MANY OTHER ACTORS
02:10:42:00	02:10:45:00	THAT ARE BENEFITED BY THE
02:10:45:00	02:10:46:00	HEALTH AND GROWTH OF OUR SMALL

02:12:47:00	02:12:58:00	MILEAGES OVER THE LAST I THINK
02:12:58:00	02:12:59:00	LIKE FIVE YEARS AGO WE WERE
02:12:59:00	02:13:00:00	RUNNING IN THE RANGE OF ABOUT

02:13:01:00	02:13:01:00	WE'RE UP TO SIX MONITORS.
02:13:01:00	02:13:03:00	SO I THINK IS AN ADEQUATE
02:13:03:00	02:13:04:00	AMOUNT FOR THE WORKLOAD THAT WE
02:13:04:00	02:13:10:00	HAVE ERM MEAN IN TERMS OF THE
02:13:10:00	02:13:11:00	DATA I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU

02:13:25:00	02:13:25:00	WEBSITE.
02:13:25:00	02:13:27:00	MY LAST QUESTION IS I HAVE TO
02:13:27:00	02:13:29:00	TWO LAST QUESTIONS.
02:13:29:00	02:13:33:00	ONE IS THE SPACE GRANT IS I
02:13:33:00	02:13:34:00	THESE ARE OFFICE DOLLARS AND
02:13:34:00	02:13:37:00	THEY'RE GOING TO RUN OUT SOON.
02:13:37:00	02:13:38:00	ANY PLANS ON MAKING SURE THAT
02:13:38:00	02:13:39:00	THIS IS ON THE OPERATING LINE
02:13:39:00	02:13:43:00	ITEM IN THE FUTURE?
02:13:43:00	02:13:44:00	WE'VE NOT GOTTEN TO THAT POINT
02:13:44:00	02:13:47:00	BUT AGAIN THIS I WILL SAY THAT
02:13:47:00	02:13:48:00	ALL THE WORK THAT WE ARE IS

02:13:52:00	02:13:55:00	ABOUT THE PRIVATE SECTOR
02:13:55:00	02:13:56:00	BECAUSE WE WE KNOW THAT I MEAN
02:13:56:00	02:13:57:00	THE CITY IS THE FACT THAT WE
02:13:57:00	02:13:59:00	HAVE STAFF MEANS THAT WE'RE
02:13:59:00	02:14:00:00	DEDICATING RESOURCES TO THESE

02:15:04:00	02:15:05:00	THAT ARE GOING OUT.
02:15:05:00	02:15:07:00	SO WE RECENTLY CONTRACTED WITH

02:15:13:00	02:15:15:00	SEE WHERE BUSINESSES ARE WHERE
02:15:15:00	02:15:16:00	THE ECONOMY IS IN BOSTON AND
02:15:16:00	02:15:20:00	THEN WE HAVE OUR HAVE SLATED TO
02:15:20:00	02:15:23:00	MORE REPORTS TO TO BE COME OUT
02:15:23:00	02:15:24:00	AND WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO DO
02:15:24:00	02:15:27:00	THOSE AS WELL QUOTE CONTRACTS.
02:15:27:00	02:15:28:00	SO MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE
02:15:28:00	02:15:31:00	DESIGNATED AS SO MAKING SURE
02:15:31:00	02:15:34:00	THAT MINORITY OWNED BUSINESSES
02:15:34:00	02:15:35:00	ARE FORMS CAN CAN RESPOND TO
02:15:35:00	02:15:38:00	THAT ONE OF THAT ONE OF THEM IS
02:15:38:00	02:15:38:00	AN EQUITY STUDY.
02:15:38:00	02:15:39:00	SO LOOKING AT OUR MAIN STREETS
02:15:39:00	02:15:42:00	AND LOOKING AT ABOUT
02:15:42:00	02:15:43:00	PARTICULARLY ABOUT FUNDING
02:15:43:00	02:15:45:00	ACROSS OUR MAIN STREETS AND HOW
02:15:45:00	02:15:46:00	CAN WE LOOK AT THAT MORE
02:15:46:00	02:15:50:00	EQUITABLY IN MAKING SURE THAT
02:15:50:00	02:15:51:00	IF WE NEED TO ADD MORE FUNDS TO
02:15:51:00	02:15:54:00	ONE'S MAIN STREET OR ANOTHER,
02:15:54:00	02:15:57:00	HOW HOW HOW WOULD THAT LOOK AND
02:15:57:00	02:15:58:00	HOW COULD THAT KIND
02:15:58:00	02:15:59:00	OF COMPOSITION GO?
02:15:59:00	02:16:01:00	AND THEN THE OTHER IS A
02:16:01:00	02:16:02:00	PLACEMAKING STUDY IN TERMS
02:16:02:00	02:16:05:00	OF HOW CAN WE CREATE THESE
02:16:05:00	02:16:06:00	SMALL ECOSYSTEMS THAT ARE
02:16:06:00	02:16:08:00	ROBUST WITHIN OUR COMMUNITIES
02:16:08:00	02:16:09:00	WITHIN OUR MAIN STREETS TO HELP
02:16:09:00	02:16:13:00	THESE BUSINESSES GROW AND
02:16:13:00	02:16:13:00	BUILD.
02:16:13:00	02:16:14:00	AND SO IT WOULD BE KIND OF TO
02:16:14:00	02:16:17:00	SEPARATE TWO SEPARATE STUDIES
02:16:17:00	02:16:20:00	BUT THAT WOULD GO TOGETHER TO
02:16:20:00	02:16:21:00	REALLY HELP TO CREATE THIS
02:16:21:00	02:16:24:00	ECONOMIC COMMUNITY THAT'S
02:16:24:00	02:16:25:00	VIBRANT FOR OUR SMALL
02:16:25:00	02:16:25:00	BUSINESSES.
02:16:25:00	02:16:28:00	AND SO I JUST WANT TO THE
02:16:28:00	02:16:29:00	REASON I HAVE ELYSHA KIND OF GO
02:16:29:00	02:16:30:00	THROUGH THE DIFFERENT PIECES
02:16:30:00	02:16:32:00	OF WORK THAT ARE PUTTING OUT
02:16:32:00	02:16:33:00	THERE IS BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL
02:16:33:00	02:16:34:00	WORK THAT WAS BEING DONE ON
02:16:34:00	02:16:35:00	REIMAGINE WHICH WAS ONLY
02:16:35:00	02:16:36:00	THINKING ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP
02:16:36:00	02:16:39:00	BETWEEN THE 20 DIFFERENT
02:16:39:00	02:16:40:00	NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT
02:16:40:00	02:16:40:00	HAVE THE TITLE OF MAIN STREETS
02:16:40:00	02:16:43:00	AND THE CITY OF BOSTON AND WE
02:16:43:00	02:16:44:00	WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER
02:16:44:00	02:16:47:00	PRODUCT OR WHATEVER
02:16:47:00	02:16:47:00	RECOMMENDATION WE'RE PROVIDING
02:16:47:00	02:16:51:00	TO THE MAYOR, TO THE
02:16:51:00	02:16:51:00	COUNCIL AND TO THE COMMUNITY
02:16:51:00	02:16:52:00	ARE INCORPORATING ALL OF THESE
02:16:52:00	02:16:55:00	OTHER FACTORS BECAUSE WHEN THAT
02:16:55:00	02:16:56:00	REPORT WAS BEING PUT TOGETHER
02:16:56:00	02:16:59:00	IT WAS IN A PRE COVID DURING
02:16:59:00	02:17:00:00	COVID SPACE AND NOT POST COVID
02:17:00:00	02:17:02:00	AND IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY
02:17:02:00	02:17:03:00	IMPORTANT THAT THE INFORMATION
02:17:03:00	02:17:06:00	INFORMING THE RECOMMENDATION
02:17:06:00	02:17:07:00	WE'RE MAKING AND INCLUDES WHAT
02:17:07:00	02:17:08:00	IS THE STATE OF SMALL BUSINESS
02:17:08:00	02:17:11:00	PERIOD THINKING OF NOT JUST
02:17:11:00	02:17:11:00	STORE FRONT BUSINESSES BUT ALSO
02:17:11:00	02:17:14:00	HOW MAIN STREET'S ENGAGED WITH
02:17:14:00	02:17:15:00	ONLINE BUSINESSES THINKING
02:17:15:00	02:17:18:00	ABOUT THE EQUITY PIECE I THINK
02:17:18:00	02:17:19:00	WE ALL KNOW JUST FROM LIVING IN
02:17:19:00	02:17:21:00	AND WALKING THROUGH AND
02:17:21:00	02:17:22:00	SHOPPING IN OUR COMMUNITIES
02:17:22:00	02:17:22:00	THAT THERE ARE SOME COMMUNITIES
02:17:22:00	02:17:25:00	AND THEIR MAIN STREETS THAT ARE
02:17:25:00	02:17:26:00	WAY BIGGER DISADVANTAGE THAN
02:17:26:00	02:17:29:00	OTHER COMMUNITIES.
02:17:29:00	02:17:30:00	THE ORIGINAL STUDY DID NOT TAKE
02:17:30:00	02:17:32:00	THAT INTO INTO PLACE AND THEN
02:17:32:00	02:17:33:00	THE PLACEMAKING PIECE AGAIN
02:17:33:00	02:17:34:00	THINKING OF HOW WE ADD THAT
02:17:34:00	02:17:38:00	COMPONENT IN THE MAIN STREETS.
02:17:38:00	02:17:39:00	SO AGAIN WE JUST GOING TO HAVE
02:17:39:00	02:17:41:00	A COMPREHENSIVE RECOMMENDATION
02:17:41:00	02:17:42:00	THAT WE'RE GIVING.
02:17:42:00	02:17:46:00	SO ALL OF THAT HOLD I THINK ALL
02:17:46:00	02:17:47:00	OF THESE ARE ARE MEANT TO BE
02:17:47:00	02:17:49:00	DONE LATER THIS YEAR AND WE'LL
02:17:49:00	02:17:50:00	LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING
02:17:50:00	02:17:51:00	SOMETHING FOR YOU AS SOON AS
02:17:51:00	02:17:52:00	POSSIBLE.
02:17:52:00	02:17:53:00	THANK YOU.
02:17:53:00	02:17:56:00	AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK I
02:17:56:00	02:17:57:00	KNOW THE SMALL BUSINESS
02:17:57:00	02:17:58:00	COMMUNITY APPRECIATES ALL THE
02:17:58:00	02:18:00:00	INVESTMENT INVESTMENTS AND
02:18:00:00	02:18:01:00	INITIATIVES THAT YOU GUYS ARE
02:18:01:00	02:18:02:00	PUTTING FORWARD.

02:18:24:00	02:18:28:00	STREET SMALL BUSINESSES ON THAT
02:18:28:00	02:18:30:00	STREET HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN AND
02:18:30:00	02:18:31:00	IS ABOUT SEVEN OR EIGHT
02:18:31:00	02:18:32:00	STOREFRONTS THAT ARE VACANT.
02:18:32:00	02:18:35:00	SOME OF IT HAS TO DO WITH
02:18:35:00	02:18:38:00	TRANSPORTATION RELATED
02:18:38:00	02:18:39:00	CHALLENGES INFRASTRUCTURE,
02:18:39:00	02:18:42:00	TRANSPORTATION ISSUES.
02:18:42:00	02:18:43:00	BUT ARE YOU AWARE OF THE
02:18:43:00	02:18:46:00	CHALLENGES ON STATE STREET AND
02:18:46:00	02:18:48:00	IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE
02:18:48:00	02:18:51:00	ABLE TO WORK WITH THE SMALL
02:18:51:00	02:18:54:00	BUSINESSES ON TO SEE WHAT
02:18:54:00	02:18:58:00	CHALLENGES THEY HAVE AND WE
02:18:58:00	02:18:59:00	MIGHT BE ABLE TO ASSIST THEM?
02:18:59:00	02:18:59:00	ABSOLUTELY.
02:18:59:00	02:19:02:00	SO DOWNTOWN IN GENERAL I THINK
02:19:02:00	02:19:06:00	EVERY SINGLE CITY IS DEALING
02:19:06:00	02:19:07:00	WITH WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF THE
02:19:07:00	02:19:10:00	DOWNTOWN BECAUSE ALL OF OUR
02:19:10:00	02:19:11:00	CITIES WERE BUILT AROUND YOU
02:19:11:00	02:19:13:00	KNOW THIS CORE AND AND MOST
02:19:13:00	02:19:16:00	OF IT WAS FOCUSED ON OFFICE
02:19:16:00	02:19:18:00	BUILDINGS AND NOW WE'RE IN A
02:19:18:00	02:19:21:00	STATE WHERE WE CAN ALL MANY
02:19:21:00	02:19:22:00	OF US I MEAN THE FACT THAT
02:19:22:00	02:19:23:00	WE'RE HAVING THIS HEARING
02:19:23:00	02:19:25:00	VIRTUALLY NOT IN OUR DOWNTOWN
02:19:25:00	02:19:28:00	OFFICE SPEAKS TO THE STATE
02:19:28:00	02:19:28:00	OF THE WORLD TODAY.
02:19:28:00	02:19:29:00	AND SO WHETHER IT'S STATE
02:19:29:00	02:19:32:00	STREET OR WASHINGTON STREET OR
02:19:32:00	02:19:33:00	OTHER PLACES AND THROUGHOUT OUR
02:19:33:00	02:19:36:00	DOWNTOWN ALL OF OUR SMALL
02:19:36:00	02:19:37:00	BUSINESSES ARE STRUGGLING
02:19:37:00	02:19:40:00	BECAUSE OF THE DECREASE IN FOOT
02:19:40:00	02:19:41:00	TRAFFIC AS A RESULT OF COVID-19
02:19:41:00	02:19:44:00	I WILL SAY THAT THE CITY HAS
02:19:44:00	02:19:45:00	BEEN TAKING VERY PROACTIVE
02:19:45:00	02:19:47:00	STEPS TO ADDRESS THIS ONE WAS
02:19:47:00	02:19:47:00	SPACE GRANT THAT WE ANNOUNCED
02:19:47:00	02:19:48:00	EARLIER AND WAS MENTIONED ON
02:19:48:00	02:19:51:00	THIS CALL.
02:19:51:00	02:19:52:00	BUT REALLY WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS
02:19:52:00	02:19:52:00	OUR CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH
02:19:52:00	02:19:55:00	THE DOWNTOWN BOSTON BID TO
02:19:55:00	02:19:59:00	ADDRESS BUSINESSES AGAIN NOT
02:19:59:00	02:20:00:00	JUST ON STATE STREET BUT
02:20:00:00	02:20:03:00	THROUGHOUT OUR DOWNTOWN AREA TO
02:20:03:00	02:20:04:00	DRIVE RESOURCES TO DRIVE FOOT
02:20:04:00	02:20:04:00	TRAFFIC.
02:20:04:00	02:20:07:00	THE CITY HAS SPENT A LOT
02:20:07:00	02:20:08:00	OF MONEY IN ON EVENTS IN THE
02:20:08:00	02:20:11:00	DOWNTOWN AREA TO DRIVE TRAFFIC
02:20:11:00	02:20:12:00	IN THOSE AREAS.

02:20:16:00	02:20:17:00	NICHOLS AND HIS TEAM TO PROVIDE

02:20:26:00	02:20:26:00	I DID.
02:20:26:00	02:20:27:00	I ALSO THINK IT'S TIME FOR
02:20:27:00	02:20:30:00	PEOPLE TO GET BACK TO WORK AND
02:20:30:00	02:20:32:00	THE DOWNTOWN I THINK IT'S

02:20:33:00	02:20:36:00	EXAMPLE HERE IN BOSTON, YOU

02:20:50:00	02:20:50:00	AT CITY HALL.
02:20:50:00	02:20:52:00	I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE TO SET
02:20:52:00	02:20:53:00	AN EXAMPLE THAT IF WE'RE
02:20:53:00	02:20:56:00	SERIOUS ABOUT SUPPORTING OUR
02:20:56:00	02:21:00:00	SMALL BUSINESSES IN DOWNTOWN WE

02:21:08:00	02:21:09:00	I THINK I THINK IT'S I THINK
02:21:09:00	02:21:11:00	WOULD HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT IF

02:33:27:00	02:33:30:00	BUT TO ANSWER MORE DIRECTLY
02:33:30:00	02:33:31:00	YOUR QUESTION AT LEAST ON WHAT
02:33:31:00	02:33:31:00	THE COUNCIL CAN DO HONESTLY
02:33:31:00	02:33:34:00	WHERE WE ARE AT THIS POINT FOR

02:33:38:00	02:33:39:00	GETTING INFORMATION OUT THERE.
02:33:39:00	02:33:42:00	THERE ARE SO MANY FOLKS WHO SO
02:33:42:00	02:33:45:00	THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY IN

02:34:24:00	02:34:24:00	SUPPORT ON ISSUES LIKE THIS.
02:34:24:00	02:34:27:00	AND BEFORE YOU ANSWER THAT, I'M

02:35:40:00	02:35:43:00	ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO
02:35:43:00	02:35:44:00	SUBMIT APPLICATIONS.
02:35:44:00	02:35:45:00	BUT IF THERE ARE FOLKS WHO HAVE
02:35:45:00	02:35:45:00	FALLEN THROUGH THE CRACKS,
02:35:45:00	02:35:48:00	PLEASE SEND THEM OUR WAY SO
02:35:48:00	02:35:50:00	THAT I HOPE WILL ADDRESS AT THE

02:35:51:00	02:35:52:00	I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER GRANT
02:35:52:00	02:35:54:00	FUNDS THAT THE CABINET SO WITH
02:35:54:00	02:35:58:00	RESPECT TO FEEDBACK FOR BIDDERS
02:35:58:00	02:35:59:00	WHO WERE NOT AWARDED CONTRACTS
02:35:59:00	02:36:02:00	FOR SHELTERED MARKET CONTRACTS
02:36:02:00	02:36:06:00	WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO SORT
02:36:06:00	02:36:07:00	OF AN OFF BOARDING PROCESS IN
02:36:07:00	02:36:11:00	THOSE FOR THOSE CONTRACTS,
02:36:11:00	02:36:11:00	THEIR MARKET CONTRACTS, THE
02:36:11:00	02:36:14:00	POOL OF BIDDERS IS BY
02:36:14:00	02:36:14:00	DEFINITION SMALLER BECAUSE IT'S
02:36:14:00	02:36:18:00	LIMITED TO EITHER MINORITY AND
02:36:18:00	02:36:19:00	WOMEN OWNED BUSINESSES OR SOME
02:36:19:00	02:36:21:00	SUBCATEGORY MINORITY OWNED
02:36:21:00	02:36:22:00	BUSINESS.
02:36:22:00	02:36:25:00	AND SO IN THOSE CASES IT'S MUCH
02:36:25:00	02:36:26:00	EASIER FOR OUR TEAM TO MEET
02:36:26:00	02:36:29:00	WITH BIDDERS WHO ARE NOT
02:36:29:00	02:36:29:00	ULTIMATELY AWARDED THE CONTRACT
02:36:29:00	02:36:30:00	TO BETTER UNDERSTAND SORT
02:36:30:00	02:36:33:00	OF WHERE THE PAIN POINTS ARE.
02:36:33:00	02:36:36:00	I WILL ALSO SAY THAT OUR
02:36:36:00	02:36:37:00	BUSINESS MANAGER SAMWELL
02:36:37:00	02:36:41:00	HURTADO WORKED WITH A LARGER
02:36:41:00	02:36:41:00	GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS.
02:36:41:00	02:36:42:00	I THINK MIKE IN GENERAL ALSO
02:36:42:00	02:36:45:00	INVOLVED THIS IN A BPA EFFORT
02:36:45:00	02:36:49:00	TO BETTER UNDERSTAND SOME
02:36:49:00	02:36:50:00	OF THE PAIN POINTS IN THE EPA
02:36:50:00	02:36:53:00	AND CITY PROCUREMENT PROCESS
02:36:53:00	02:36:53:00	FOR SMALL BUSINESSES.
02:36:53:00	02:36:57:00	SO WE'VE DONE AND I THINK FOR
02:36:57:00	02:36:58:00	THE MOST PART THE RESULTS
02:36:58:00	02:37:01:00	OF THAT SURVEY MECHANISM PRETTY
02:37:01:00	02:37:05:00	WERE NOT SURPRISING.
02:37:05:00	02:37:05:00	BUT WHEN WE HAVE THE ABILITY
02:37:05:00	02:37:09:00	PARTICULARLY IN THE CONTEXT
02:37:09:00	02:37:09:00	OF SHELTER MARKET CONTRACTS, WE
02:37:09:00	02:37:10:00	DO TRY AND SIT WITH BUSINESSES
02:37:10:00	02:37:12:00	WHO ARE NOT AWARDED CONTRACTS
02:37:12:00	02:37:13:00	TO BETTER UNDERSTAND SORT
02:37:13:00	02:37:17:00	OF WHY WHAT ELEMENTS OF THE
02:37:17:00	02:37:18:00	PROCESS THEY HAD TROUBLE WITH.
02:37:18:00	02:37:20:00	SOME BUSINESSES HAVE BUSINESSES
02:37:20:00	02:37:20:00	OF A VARYING UNDERSTANDING
02:37:20:00	02:37:21:00	OF THE CITY'S PROCUREMENT
02:37:21:00	02:37:23:00	PROCESS IN SOME CASES
02:37:23:00	02:37:24:00	BUSINESSES NEED SUPPORT
02:37:24:00	02:37:25:00	UNDERSTANDING SORT OF WHAT'S
02:37:25:00	02:37:25:00	THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A
02:37:25:00	02:37:27:00	TECHNICAL AND A PRICING
02:37:27:00	02:37:28:00	PROPOSAL IN THE CONTEXT OF AN
02:37:28:00	02:37:29:00	RFP BUT FOR SHELTER MARKET
02:37:29:00	02:37:32:00	CONTRACTS WE'VE TRIED TO DO
02:37:32:00	02:37:32:00	THAT.

02:38:34:00	02:38:37:00	STATUS.
02:38:37:00	02:38:38:00	IF THERE ARE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS
02:38:38:00	02:38:39:00	THAT PEOPLE HAVE AND THEY'VE

02:38:50:00	02:38:50:00	CLEAR AS POSSIBLE TO WHERE OUR
02:38:50:00	02:38:53:00	COMMUNICATIONS GOING OUT THAT
02:38:53:00	02:38:54:00	YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THERE'S SO
02:38:54:00	02:38:55:00	MUCH NEED, YOU KNOW, AND WE

02:38:57:00	02:39:00:00	WHAT WE SAY THAT LIKE YOU KNOW,
02:39:00:00	02:39:01:00	WE HAVE THIS MUCH MONEY WE
02:39:01:00	02:39:02:00	COULD ONLY AWARD THIS MANY
02:39:02:00	02:39:04:00	PEOPLE AND UNFORTUNATELY WE
02:39:04:00	02:39:05:00	WEREN'T ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS
02:39:05:00	02:39:05:00	PARTICULAR BUSINESS SOMETIMES
02:39:05:00	02:39:08:00	BECAUSE THEY FELL OUT OF THEY
02:39:08:00	02:39:09:00	WEREN'T THE PRIORITY CATEGORY
02:39:09:00	02:39:12:00	OR THEY DON'T HAVE ALL THE
02:39:12:00	02:39:13:00	NECESSARY INFORMATION OR COULD
02:39:13:00	02:39:16:00	BE A WIDE RANGE OF THINGS.
02:39:16:00	02:39:17:00	SO WE TRIED TO BE CLEAR IN OUR
02:39:17:00	02:39:19:00	COMMUNICATIONS LIKE WHY SOMEONE
02:39:19:00	02:39:20:00	MAY NOT HAVE GOTTEN A GRANT
02:39:20:00	02:39:21:00	DOLLAR BUT AT THE END OF THE
02:39:21:00	02:39:22:00	DAY IT COMES DOWN TO THE FACT
02:39:22:00	02:39:24:00	THAT WE JUST DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
02:39:24:00	02:39:25:00	RESOURCES TO GIVE OUT THERE
02:39:25:00	02:39:28:00	WHICH IS I WAS MENTIONING
02:39:28:00	02:39:28:00	EARLIER THAT WE WANT TO WORK
02:39:28:00	02:39:29:00	WITH OUR COLLEAGUES IN THE
02:39:29:00	02:39:30:00	PRIVATE SECTOR BECAUSE THERE'S
02:39:30:00	02:39:32:00	WAY MORE ABILITY TO TO MEET THE
02:39:32:00	02:39:35:00	DEMAND.
02:39:35:00	02:39:36:00	BUT IF THEY'RE IF IF YOU HAVE

02:41:02:00	02:41:06:00	APPLICATION AND WERE FOR SOME
02:41:06:00	02:41:06:00	REASON DENIED CERTIFICATION
02:41:06:00	02:41:09:00	WHICH DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN MORE
02:41:09:00	02:41:10:00	OFTEN THAN NOT WHAT HAPPENS AS
02:41:10:00	02:41:11:00	A BUSINESS WILL SUBMIT A
02:41:11:00	02:41:14:00	CERTIFICATION APPLICATION
02:41:14:00	02:41:14:00	MISSING SOME PIECE
02:41:14:00	02:41:17:00	OF INFORMATION AND AS MUCH AS
02:41:17:00	02:41:18:00	WE TRY AND FOLLOW UP WITH THE
02:41:18:00	02:41:21:00	BUSINESS THEY DON'T FINALIZE
02:41:21:00	02:41:21:00	THEIR APPLICATION.
02:41:21:00	02:41:22:00	WE DO HAVE RECORDS FOR THOSE
02:41:22:00	02:41:25:00	BUSINESSES BUT WE DON'T HAVE
02:41:25:00	02:41:26:00	INFORMATION ABOUT THE ENTIRE
02:41:26:00	02:41:28:00	SORT DENOMINATOR OF MINORITY
02:41:28:00	02:41:32:00	WOMEN OWNED BUSINESSES IN THE
02:41:32:00	02:41:32:00	GREATER BOSTON AREA.
02:41:32:00	02:41:36:00	YEAH, I FEEL LIKE WE COULD
02:41:36:00	02:41:36:00	MISSING AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE
02:41:36:00	02:41:40:00	THERE AND CHIEF, YOU KNOW I
02:41:40:00	02:41:41:00	KEEP PUTTING PROCUREMENT IN
02:41:41:00	02:41:43:00	YOUR DEPARTMENT WHETHER YOU
02:41:43:00	02:41:44:00	LIKE IT OR NOT.
02:41:44:00	02:41:47:00	I JUST THINK IT BELONGS THERE.
02:41:47:00	02:41:51:00	BUT I WONDER WE'RE MISSING AN
02:41:51:00	02:41:52:00	OPPORTUNITY HERE.
02:41:52:00	02:41:53:00	SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF I IF I'M
02:41:53:00	02:41:56:00	APPLYING AND WE COME TO PAY RGV
02:41:56:00	02:42:00:00	OR WE FILE SOMETHING, YOU KNOW,
02:42:00:00	02:42:01:00	THE COUNSELORS WILL BE LIKE,
02:42:01:00	02:42:01:00	YOU KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH
02:42:01:00	02:42:03:00	DIVERSITY OR WHAT'S HAPPENING
02:42:03:00	02:42:04:00	WITH THIS OR OVERSIGHT OR
02:42:04:00	02:42:05:00	ACCOUNTABILITY.
02:42:05:00	02:42:07:00	WE TURN TO INVESTMENTS AND YET
02:42:07:00	02:42:11:00	WE HAVE A LIST OF PEOPLE THAT
02:42:11:00	02:42:12:00	COULD POTENTIALLY EVENTUALLY BE
02:42:12:00	02:42:15:00	CERTIFIED OR NEED SUPPORT AND
02:42:15:00	02:42:19:00	WE'RE KIND OF JUST YOU KNOW,
02:42:19:00	02:42:20:00	NOT DOCUMENTING THAT.
02:42:20:00	02:42:21:00	SO HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THERE
02:42:21:00	02:42:22:00	ARE BLACK CONTRACTORS?
02:42:22:00	02:42:23:00	HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE NOT
02:42:23:00	02:42:26:00	THERE AREN'T ENOUGH PEOPLE
02:42:26:00	02:42:27:00	AVAILABLE TO DO THAT?
02:42:27:00	02:42:28:00	WELL, THEY WERE THAT COULD HAVE
02:42:28:00	02:42:31:00	BEEN BUT THEY WE MISSED AN
02:42:31:00	02:42:31:00	OPPORTUNITY TO DOCUMENT THAT
02:42:31:00	02:42:32:00	AND THEN WE MISS AN OPPORTUNITY
02:42:32:00	02:42:35:00	TO FOLLOW UP AND OFFER OUTREACH
02:42:35:00	02:42:35:00	OR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SO THAT
02:42:35:00	02:42:39:00	WE CAN GET THEM CERTIFIED AND I
02:42:39:00	02:42:43:00	THINK SO SO LIKE THEY USED TO
02:42:43:00	02:42:44:00	BE THIS REALLY ARDUOUS CRAZY
02:42:44:00	02:42:46:00	APPLICATION TO GET CERTIFIED.
02:42:46:00	02:42:47:00	I MEAN I KNOW THAT CHIEF, YOUR
02:42:47:00	02:42:50:00	DEPARTMENT STREAMLINED OR
02:42:50:00	02:42:51:00	STREAMLINED IT AND IT'S A
02:42:51:00	02:42:53:00	SIMPLER PROCESS HOPEFULLY
02:42:53:00	02:42:54:00	DIGITIZED THAT YOU NOW HAVE YOU
02:42:54:00	02:42:58:00	ALSO HAVE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
02:42:58:00	02:42:58:00	TO SUPPORT PEOPLE.
02:42:58:00	02:43:02:00	BUT THEN AGAIN WE'VE MISSED A
02:43:02:00	02:43:03:00	LOT OF OPPORTUNITY AND I THINK
02:43:03:00	02:43:04:00	THAT THE RESPONSE IS ALWAYS
02:43:04:00	02:43:05:00	LIKE OH OF THAT JUST NOT ENOUGH
02:43:05:00	02:43:06:00	BLACK CONTRACTORS AND THAT'S
02:43:06:00	02:43:06:00	JUST NOT TRUE.
02:43:06:00	02:43:09:00	SO HOW ARE WE DOCUMENTING THAT
02:43:09:00	02:43:10:00	AND HOW ARE WE DOING THE
02:43:10:00	02:43:13:00	OUTREACH TO BE ABLE TO CREATE
02:43:13:00	02:43:16:00	THIS FOR THIS NETWORK BLACK
02:43:16:00	02:43:17:00	CONTRACTORS?
02:43:17:00	02:43:20:00	WELL, I WILL TAKE A QUICK SWING
02:43:20:00	02:43:21:00	AND I KNOW THAT ANDRE MIKE AND
02:43:21:00	02:43:24:00	JAN WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT WHERE
02:43:24:00	02:43:26:00	I LEAVE A LOT OF GAPS WHICH
02:43:26:00	02:43:29:00	TENDS TO HAPPEN.
02:43:29:00	02:43:30:00	SO JUST PUTTING YOU ON NOTICE
02:43:30:00	02:43:31:00	THEY HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING
02:43:31:00	02:43:32:00	SHORTLY.
02:43:32:00	02:43:33:00	BUT ON THIS ONE COUNSELOR, I
02:43:33:00	02:43:36:00	WILL SAY SO I THINK THE FIRST
02:43:36:00	02:43:37:00	STEP THE CITY DID TO TRY TO
02:43:37:00	02:43:40:00	ADDRESS THAT WAS THE DISPARITY
02:43:40:00	02:43:40:00	STUDY TO UNDERSTAND WHO AND
02:43:40:00	02:43:43:00	WHAT IS OUT THERE IN TERMS
02:43:43:00	02:43:44:00	OF AVAILABILITY AND WHETHER OR
02:43:44:00	02:43:45:00	NOT THE CITY HAS BEEN DOING
02:43:45:00	02:43:47:00	BUSINESS WITH THEM.
02:43:47:00	02:43:48:00	AND I THINK ALL OF US KNOW THE
02:43:48:00	02:43:49:00	RESULT OF THAT WHICH WAS
02:43:49:00	02:43:58:00	ABSOLUTELY NOT.
02:43:58:00	02:43:59:00	AND SO WORKING WITH COLLEAGUES
02:43:59:00	02:43:59:00	IN THE ADMINISTRATION AND THEN
02:43:59:00	02:44:00:00	ON THE COUNCIL WE'VE BEEN
02:44:00:00	02:44:01:00	WORKING TO ADDRESS THAT AND I
02:44:01:00	02:44:02:00	WILL SAY THAT TO THIS POINT
02:44:02:00	02:44:02:00	THAT YOU'VE BROUGHT UP, WHICH
02:44:02:00	02:44:03:00	IS REALLY IMPORTANT AROUND
02:44:03:00	02:44:06:00	AVAILABILITY BUT ALSO CAPACITY
02:44:06:00	02:44:07:00	, I WANT TO THANK THE
02:44:07:00	02:44:10:00	COUNCIL AGAIN ON AUTHORIZING
02:44:10:00	02:44:11:00	ANOTHER NINE MILLION DOLLARS IN
02:44:11:00	02:44:12:00	ARPA MONEY FOR A PROGRAM THAT
02:44:12:00	02:44:15:00	WE ARE GOING TO BE ANNOUNCING
02:44:15:00	02:44:16:00	IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
02:44:16:00	02:44:18:00	SO I GUESS YOU ALL GET A SCOOP
02:44:18:00	02:44:19:00	EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE NOT
02:44:19:00	02:44:19:00	JOURNALISTS THE THE SCALE
02:44:19:00	02:44:22:00	PROGRAM WHICH IS FOCUSED
02:44:22:00	02:44:23:00	EXACTLY ON BUILDING THE
02:44:23:00	02:44:26:00	CAPACITY OF WOMEN IN BIPAC
02:44:26:00	02:44:30:00	OWNED BUSINESSES IN SPECIFIC
02:44:30:00	02:44:31:00	SECTORS WHERE THE CITY IS
02:44:31:00	02:44:33:00	SPENDING A WHOLE BUNCH OF MONEY
02:44:33:00	02:44:34:00	TO YOUR POINT ABOUT MISSING
02:44:34:00	02:44:35:00	THESE OPPORTUNITIES, IT'S NOT
02:44:35:00	02:44:38:00	JUST ABOUT THAT WE'RE WE'RE NOT
02:44:38:00	02:44:38:00	ALWAYS IDENTIFYING IT'S ALSO
02:44:38:00	02:44:39:00	THAT EVEN WHEN THERE ARE THE
02:44:39:00	02:44:41:00	OPPORTUNITIES A LOT OF OUR
02:44:41:00	02:44:42:00	BUSINESSES TODAY DO NOT HAVE

02:44:45:00	02:44:46:00	IN TERMS OF IF THEY'RE BLACK OR
02:44:46:00	02:44:47:00	BROWN OR WOMEN OWNED OR VETERAN
02:44:47:00	02:44:49:00	OWNED OR JUST A SMALL BUSINESS
02:44:49:00	02:44:50:00	IN BOSTON, MANY OF THEM DON'T
02:44:50:00	02:44:53:00	HAVE THE CAPACITY TO TAKE ON
02:44:53:00	02:44:54:00	MANY OF THE LARGE CONTRACTS
02:44:54:00	02:44:55:00	THAT WE PUT OUT EVERY YEAR OR
02:44:55:00	02:44:57:00	EVERY FEW YEARS.
02:44:57:00	02:44:58:00	AND SO WE ARE WORKING TO PUT
02:44:58:00	02:45:01:00	THE CITY'S MONEY WHERE ITS
02:45:01:00	02:45:02:00	MOUTH IS NOT JUST SAYING WE
02:45:02:00	02:45:03:00	WANT TO AWARD MORE CONTRACTS TO
02:45:03:00	02:45:05:00	BUY BLACK AND WOMEN OWNED
02:45:05:00	02:45:05:00	BUSINESSES BUT TO ACTUALLY

02:45:08:00	02:45:09:00	BUSINESSES TO GROW THEIR

02:45:25:00	02:45:26:00	BUT ANDRE MIKE JOHN I DON'T
02:45:26:00	02:45:27:00	KNOW IF THERE'S OTHER THINGS

02:45:31:00	02:45:35:00	I CAN SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, SOME
02:45:35:00	02:45:36:00	OF THE WE'VE REPURPOSED SOME

02:47:09:00	02:47:12:00	IT TOGETHER WITH THIS CRAZY
02:47:12:00	02:47:12:00	SCHEDULE.
02:47:12:00	02:47:12:00	RIGHT.
02:47:12:00	02:47:16:00	WE'RE EVERYWHERE.
02:47:16:00	02:47:16:00	WE'RE KISSING BABIES AND TAKING
02:47:16:00	02:47:17:00	PICTURES AND GIVING AWAY
02:47:17:00	02:47:19:00	TURKEYS AND AND THEN AND THEN
02:47:19:00	02:47:20:00	THERE'S THE REAL WORK.
02:47:20:00	02:47:20:00	RIGHT.
02:47:20:00	02:47:23:00	AND SO I WONDER IF WE'RE
02:47:23:00	02:47:27:00	WORKING BACKWARDS BECAUSE HERE
02:47:27:00	02:47:28:00	WE ARE AWAKE I'M THE CHAIR WAYS
02:47:28:00	02:47:31:00	AND MEANS MAYBE NEXT YEAR YOU
02:47:31:00	02:47:35:00	GET SOMEBODY ELSE AND THEN YOU
02:47:35:00	02:47:36:00	HAVE TO SORT OF START THIS
02:47:36:00	02:47:38:00	CONVERSATION ALL OVER AGAIN SO
02:47:38:00	02:47:39:00	YOU COME IN AND YOU'RE
02:47:39:00	02:47:40:00	DELIVERING WHAT YOU'RE DOING
02:47:40:00	02:47:41:00	FOR THE YEAR OR WHAT YOU HAVE
02:47:41:00	02:47:43:00	BEEN DOING TO TALK ABOUT THE
02:47:43:00	02:47:43:00	INCREASES AND WHY.
02:47:43:00	02:47:46:00	BUT WORKING TOGETHER
02:47:46:00	02:47:47:00	COLLABORATIVELY I THINK I
02:47:47:00	02:47:50:00	ENVISION THE COUNCIL TO
02:47:50:00	02:47:54:00	ACTUALLY BE IN A FULL MONTH
02:47:54:00	02:47:54:00	TRAINING WHERE WE UNDERSTAND
02:47:54:00	02:47:58:00	THESE THINGS AHEAD OF TIME WITH
02:47:58:00	02:47:59:00	DEPARTMENTS BECAUSE THEN YOU
02:47:59:00	02:48:02:00	CAN AVOID PUTTING OUT DUMB
02:48:02:00	02:48:03:00	POLICIES THAT I MEAN I'M SURE
02:48:03:00	02:48:06:00	YOU GET STUCK IN YOU LIKE WHAT
02:48:06:00	02:48:06:00	WHY?
02:48:06:00	02:48:10:00	AND SO LIKE WE FILE STUFF AND
02:48:10:00	02:48:11:00	WE'RE LIKE YOU SHOULD DO THIS
02:48:11:00	02:48:11:00	AND YOU'RE LIKE I'M ALREADY
02:48:11:00	02:48:14:00	DOING THAT AND THEN WE'RE ON
02:48:14:00	02:48:14:00	THE OTHER END.
02:48:14:00	02:48:17:00	WE'RE HERE IN THE CONVERSATION
02:48:17:00	02:48:18:00	NOW AND I'M LIKE WHY DO YOU
02:48:18:00	02:48:21:00	NEED THIS MONEY?
02:48:21:00	02:48:22:00	WELL BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET WHAT
02:48:22:00	02:48:25:00	I'M DOING AND SO I THINK IF WE
02:48:25:00	02:48:28:00	HAVE THIS TRAINING AHEAD
02:48:28:00	02:48:29:00	OF TIME AND I'M YOU KNOW, I'M
02:48:29:00	02:48:32:00	READING A LOT THESE RIGHT
02:48:32:00	02:48:33:00	BECAUSE I GET THE THE HONOR TO
02:48:33:00	02:48:37:00	BE CHAIR SO I HAVE TO BUT WHAT
02:48:37:00	02:48:38:00	ABOUT PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE
02:48:38:00	02:48:42:00	TIME AND AGAIN LIKE AS SMART AS
02:48:42:00	02:48:44:00	YOU CAN SOUND WITH YOUR FIVE
02:48:44:00	02:48:45:00	QUESTIONS IN EIGHT MINUTES YOU
02:48:45:00	02:48:48:00	STILL DON'T GET WHAT A
02:48:48:00	02:48:49:00	DEPARTMENT DOES NEVER MIND A
02:48:49:00	02:48:52:00	WHOLE BUNCH OF DEPARTMENTS THAT
02:48:52:00	02:48:53:00	WORK TOGETHER THAT ARE REALLY
02:48:53:00	02:48:54:00	KEEPING THE ECONOMY OF THE CITY
02:48:54:00	02:48:59:00	TOGETHER AND SO OFTEN WE LIKE
02:48:59:00	02:49:00:00	TO THINK ABOUT THE UNDERTAKING.
02:49:00:00	02:49:03:00	IT'S HUGE.
02:49:03:00	02:49:04:00	YOU WORK REALLY HARD.
02:49:04:00	02:49:07:00	YOU HAVE MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS
02:49:07:00	02:49:08:00	AND GO AFTER AND EVEN WHEN IT'S
02:49:08:00	02:49:09:00	JUST A DEPARTMENT OR EVEN WHEN
02:49:09:00	02:49:12:00	IT'S JUST A JOB, YOU STILL HAVE
02:49:12:00	02:49:12:00	MULTIPLE THINGS TO DO.
02:49:12:00	02:49:13:00	YOU'RE JUST OVERWORKED AND
02:49:13:00	02:49:15:00	UNDERPAID PROBABLY.
02:49:15:00	02:49:16:00	BUT AND THEN YOU COME TO MEET
02:49:16:00	02:49:20:00	WITH US AND THIS CONVERSATION
02:49:20:00	02:49:23:00	FEELS NOT PRETENTIOUS BUT NOT
02:49:23:00	02:49:27:00	NOT REACTIONARY AFTER THE FACT
02:49:27:00	02:49:27:00	.
02:49:27:00	02:49:31:00	AND SO I WONDER I'M JUST I'M
02:49:31:00	02:49:32:00	NOT I'M NOT GOING OFF ON A
02:49:32:00	02:49:33:00	TANGENT HERE.
02:49:33:00	02:49:35:00	I I PROMISE YOU IT'S MAKING
02:49:35:00	02:49:35:00	SENSE IN MY HEAD.
02:49:35:00	02:49:40:00	I WONDER IF WE COULD LOOK AT A
02:49:40:00	02:49:43:00	POLICY THAT FORCES COUNCILORS
02:49:43:00	02:49:44:00	TO GET TRAINED SO THAT WE CAN
02:49:44:00	02:49:47:00	WORK MORE COLLABORATIVE.
02:49:47:00	02:49:50:00	WE IN TERMS OF THE OPERATIONS
02:49:50:00	02:49:51:00	OF EACH OFFICE BECAUSE IT
02:49:51:00	02:49:52:00	DOESN'T MAKE SENSE FOR A BODY
02:49:52:00	02:49:56:00	TO MAKE DECISION ON YOUR MONEY,
02:49:56:00	02:49:59:00	ESPECIALLY OPERATING WHEN WE
02:49:59:00	02:50:01:00	HAVE NOT ACTUALLY HAD THE TIME
02:50:01:00	02:50:04:00	TO CONNECT AND BUILD OUT THAT
02:50:04:00	02:50:05:00	RELATIONSHIP WORKING
02:50:05:00	02:50:08:00	RELATIONSHIP, THAT
02:50:08:00	02:50:08:00	UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S
02:50:08:00	02:50:08:00	HAPPENING OPERATIONALLY.
02:50:08:00	02:50:12:00	SO HOW DO YOU EXECUTE HOW DO I
02:50:12:00	02:50:12:00	TELL YOU ABOUT EXECUTING
02:50:12:00	02:50:13:00	SOMETHING THAT I DON'T KNOW
02:50:13:00	02:50:15:00	ABOUT THAT DOESN'T THAT TO ME
02:50:15:00	02:50:16:00	FEELS PRETENTIOUS SO EXCUSE ME
02:50:16:00	02:50:20:00	IF I AGAIN SAY I DON'T THINK
02:50:20:00	02:50:23:00	WE'RE QUALIFIED TO TO REALLY TO
02:50:23:00	02:50:24:00	REALLY TELL YOU WHAT TO DO BUT
02:50:24:00	02:50:26:00	IN TERMS OF AMENDMENTS WE HAVE
02:50:26:00	02:50:31:00	WE HAVE A A RESPONSIBILITY TO
02:50:31:00	02:50:35:00	CARRY ON A THING RIGHT.
02:50:35:00	02:50:39:00	TO MAKE CHANGES THAT PEOPLE
02:50:39:00	02:50:39:00	WORK SO HARD FOR.
02:50:39:00	02:50:42:00	THEY BROUGHT THIS TO US.
02:50:42:00	02:50:43:00	WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY.
02:50:43:00	02:50:45:00	WE HAVE TO MAKE AMENDMENTS TO
02:50:45:00	02:50:47:00	AT LEAST SAY HEY, YOUR HARD
02:50:47:00	02:50:50:00	WORK DIDN'T GO TO WASTE.
02:50:50:00	02:50:51:00	WE HEARD YOU AND THERE ARE SOME
02:50:51:00	02:50:51:00	CHANGES.
02:50:51:00	02:50:54:00	THERE ARE SOME PRIORITIES.
02:50:54:00	02:50:55:00	BUT OBVIOUSLY LIKE I ALWAYS
02:50:55:00	02:50:56:00	SAY, THE BUDGET IS A GOOD
02:50:56:00	02:50:58:00	BUDGET IS INFLATED A LITTLE BIT
02:50:58:00	02:51:01:00	PROBABLY BUT ONLY BECAUSE YOU
02:51:01:00	02:51:01:00	CAN'T HIRE FAST ENOUGH.
02:51:01:00	02:51:06:00	AND SO AGAIN, THIS IS JUST ME
02:51:06:00	02:51:09:00	AFTER READING ALL THE STOCK AND
02:51:09:00	02:51:09:00	UNDERSTANDING WHY WE'RE DOING
02:51:09:00	02:51:10:00	IT FOR THE MONEY OR WHERE THIS
02:51:10:00	02:51:12:00	IS WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO, WHAT
02:51:12:00	02:51:13:00	HAPPENS, HOW DO YOU PULL THE
02:51:13:00	02:51:13:00	MONEY?
02:51:13:00	02:51:16:00	AND SO I WOULD SAY THAT I'M
02:51:16:00	02:51:17:00	HALF QUALIFIED NOW WITH READING
02:51:17:00	02:51:20:00	AND RESEARCHING AND BEING CHAIR
02:51:20:00	02:51:21:00	AND HAVING ALL THIS INFORMATION
02:51:21:00	02:51:22:00	IN FRONT OF ME.
02:51:22:00	02:51:24:00	BUT NO COUNCILOR HAS A TIME.
02:51:24:00	02:51:24:00	IT'S JUST UNFAIR.
02:51:24:00	02:51:28:00	SO JUST PUTTING THAT ON THE
02:51:28:00	02:51:31:00	TABLE AS A PREPOSITION FOR US
02:51:31:00	02:51:32:00	TO WORK TOGETHER IN A FUTURE
02:51:32:00	02:51:35:00	OF REALLY UNDERSTANDING GETTING
02:51:35:00	02:51:39:00	INTO THE GRAIN OF IT AND
02:51:39:00	02:51:40:00	UNDERSTANDING HOW THE STUFF IS
02:51:40:00	02:51:40:00	ALL CONNECTED.
02:51:40:00	02:51:42:00	SO I WOULD MY OTHER QUESTION
02:51:42:00	02:51:43:00	OBVIOUSLY IS GOING TO BE ABOUT
02:51:43:00	02:51:46:00	AMENDMENTS.
02:51:46:00	02:51:50:00	AND SO IN TERMS OF H.R. ALEX,
02:51:50:00	02:51:54:00	IF YOU CAN TELL ME ABOUT WHAT
02:51:54:00	02:51:55:00	YOUR ORG CHART LOOKS LIKE RIGHT
02:51:55:00	02:51:58:00	NOW IN TERMS OF DIVERSITY.
02:51:58:00	02:51:59:00	IF WE TALK ABOUT DIVERSITY WE
02:51:59:00	02:52:00:00	CAN'T JUST HIRE ONE BLACK
02:52:00:00	02:52:02:00	PERSON TO DO IT OR LATINO OR
02:52:02:00	02:52:02:00	WHATEVER.
02:52:02:00	02:52:06:00	BUT WHAT WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE
02:52:06:00	02:52:07:00	RIGHT NOW AND WHAT ARE YOU
02:52:07:00	02:52:07:00	DOING?
02:52:07:00	02:52:09:00	AND IF YOU'RE NOT WHERE YOU
02:52:09:00	02:52:10:00	NEED TO BE IN TERMS
02:52:10:00	02:52:11:00	OF REPRESENTATION, WHAT ARE YOU
02:52:11:00	02:52:16:00	DOING TO FIX IT?
02:52:16:00	02:52:17:00	SO IS THIS ARE YOU ASKING
02:52:17:00	02:52:18:00	SPECIFICALLY IN TERMS OF THE
02:52:18:00	02:52:19:00	BREAKDOWN OF LEADERSHIP WITHIN

02:52:53:00	02:52:54:00	DIRECTION.

02:53:01:00	02:53:01:00	YEAH.
02:53:01:00	02:53:02:00	SO PEOPLE OPERATIONS ITSELF IS
02:53:02:00	02:53:05:00	A VERY TINY CABINET.
02:53:05:00	02:53:06:00	THERE ARE IT'S WHAT YOU SHOWED
02:53:06:00	02:53:08:00	ME ALREADY EXACTLY.
02:53:08:00	02:53:09:00	OK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:53:09:00	02:53:13:00	YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR YOUR GOAL
02:53:13:00	02:53:17:00	DOCUMENTING CITY POLICY AND I
02:53:17:00	02:53:20:00	MEAN OBVIOUSLY THAT'S LIKE
02:53:20:00	02:53:21:00	IMPORTANT.
02:53:21:00	02:53:24:00	HOW ARE YOU MAKING THAT
02:53:24:00	02:53:25:00	ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC AND IS
02:53:25:00	02:53:27:00	THAT PART OF THE JOB?
02:53:27:00	02:53:29:00	YEAH SO I THINK THERE'S A LOT
02:53:29:00	02:53:32:00	THAT WE CAN DO IN TERMS
02:53:32:00	02:53:33:00	OF IMPROVING THAT.
02:53:33:00	02:53:34:00	I MEAN RIGHT NOW IS A VERY,
02:53:34:00	02:53:35:00	VERY SMALL EXAMPLE.
02:53:35:00	02:53:36:00	WE HAVE INCREDIBLY RICH
02:53:36:00	02:53:40:00	BENEFITS IN ALL SENSES OF THE
02:53:40:00	02:53:41:00	WORD FOR CITY EMPLOYEES BUT IF
02:53:41:00	02:53:42:00	YOU APPLY FOR A CITY JOB YOU
02:53:42:00	02:53:44:00	CAN'T IT'S NOT EASY TO FIGURE
02:53:44:00	02:53:45:00	OUT WHAT THOSE BENEFITS ARE.
02:53:45:00	02:53:47:00	SO UNDERSTANDING THE DETAILS
02:53:47:00	02:53:49:00	OF YOUR HEALTH CARE PLAN, ALL
02:53:49:00	02:53:49:00	OF THE VARIOUS THINGS THAT COME
02:53:49:00	02:53:50:00	WITH BEING PART OF A CITY JOB
02:53:50:00	02:53:52:00	AND SO I THINK THERE'S A LOT
02:53:52:00	02:53:53:00	OF THAT THAT COULD BE JUST
02:53:53:00	02:53:55:00	WRITTEN AND MUCH MORE CLEAR
02:53:55:00	02:53:59:00	WAYS I THINK IN TERMS
02:53:59:00	02:53:59:00	OF ACCESSIBILITY PLAIN LANGUAGE
02:53:59:00	02:54:00:00	IS KEY.
02:54:00:00	02:54:01:00	SO SO MANY CITY POLICIES ARE
02:54:01:00	02:54:03:00	WRITTEN BY LAWYERS OR THEY'RE
02:54:03:00	02:54:04:00	WRITTEN INTO OUR COLLECTIVE
02:54:04:00	02:54:04:00	BARGAINING AGREEMENTS WHICH ARE
02:54:04:00	02:54:07:00	ALL SUPER IMPORTANT PEOPLE.
02:54:07:00	02:54:08:00	YOU KNOW, IT KIND OF TAKES A
02:54:08:00	02:54:10:00	LAW DEGREE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT
02:54:10:00	02:54:11:00	THEY MEAN AND SO WE'VE BEEN
02:54:11:00	02:54:12:00	ABLE TO HIRE SOME REALLY
02:54:12:00	02:54:14:00	INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT ROLES
02:54:14:00	02:54:15:00	OF BASIC LIKE COMMUNICATIONS
02:54:15:00	02:54:16:00	PEOPLE WHO CAN WRITE THESE IN
02:54:16:00	02:54:18:00	PLAIN LANGUAGE WHO CAN PUT FAKE
02:54:18:00	02:54:19:00	USE AND GUIDES TOGETHER.
02:54:19:00	02:54:22:00	SO THAT IS LIKE A HUGE PRIORITY
02:54:22:00	02:54:23:00	OF OURS IS JUST MAKING SURE
02:54:23:00	02:54:23:00	THAT THEY'RE UNDERSTANDABLE TO
02:54:23:00	02:54:26:00	OUR WORKFORCE AND THAT IT
02:54:26:00	02:54:30:00	DOESN'T TAKE A LAW DEGREE TO
02:54:30:00	02:54:30:00	UNDERSTAND YOUR OWN BENEFITS.
02:54:30:00	02:54:34:00	DEFINITELY WE'VE PUT MADE A LOT
02:54:34:00	02:54:34:00	OF THOSE THINGS PUBLICLY
02:54:34:00	02:54:35:00	AVAILABLE LARGELY BECAUSE OTHER
02:54:35:00	02:54:37:00	CITIES ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT
02:54:37:00	02:54:38:00	THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING IN
02:54:38:00	02:54:39:00	TERMS OF PUTTING WRITING PLAIN
02:54:39:00	02:54:41:00	LANGUAGE POLICY AND IF WANTED

02:56:44:00	02:56:45:00	I MENTIONED DURING THE

02:56:46:00	02:56:50:00	SPECIFICALLY HIRE A DIRECTOR
02:56:50:00	02:56:51:00	OF EMPLOYEE MENTAL HEALTH AND
02:56:51:00	02:56:52:00	WELLNESS.
02:56:52:00	02:56:54:00	WE KNOW THAT THIS IS AN AREA
02:56:54:00	02:56:55:00	THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO ADD
02:56:55:00	02:56:57:00	ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AND WE ALSO
02:56:57:00	02:57:01:00	ARE WORKING REALLY CLOSELY WITH
02:57:01:00	02:57:02:00	THE EQUITY CABINET AND OUR
02:57:02:00	02:57:05:00	URGES TO REALLY STRENGTHEN
02:57:05:00	02:57:05:00	THOSE AS WELL.
02:57:05:00	02:57:07:00	SO RIGHT NOW THEY DON'T FIT IN
02:57:07:00	02:57:09:00	THE IN OUR DEPARTMENT AND SO
02:57:09:00	02:57:10:00	WE'RE JUST WORKING CLOSELY WITH
02:57:10:00	02:57:10:00	THEM TO ADD THAT AS AN
02:57:10:00	02:57:13:00	ADDITIONAL RESOURCE TO OUR
02:57:13:00	02:57:13:00	STAFF.
02:57:13:00	02:57:14:00	AND I THINK HAVING STRONG URGES
02:57:14:00	02:57:17:00	AND BUILDING COMMUNITY FOR OUR
02:57:17:00	02:57:17:00	STAFF, PARTICULARLY OUR STAFF
02:57:17:00	02:57:21:00	OF COLOR WILL HELP AS PART THAT
02:57:21:00	02:57:21:00	THANK YOU.
02:57:21:00	02:57:24:00	I DON'T HAVE A FULL STUDY BUT
02:57:24:00	02:57:29:00	BY DEPARTMENTS WHEN THEY'VE
02:57:29:00	02:57:30:00	COME INTO HEARINGS BLACK PEOPLE
02:57:30:00	02:57:32:00	JUST GET HIRED FOR LIKE LOWER
02:57:32:00	02:57:36:00	PAYING JOBS AND I KNOW THAT
02:57:36:00	02:57:37:00	THERE'S A LOT OF BLACK PEOPLE
02:57:37:00	02:57:38:00	OUT THERE APPLYING THAT DO
02:57:38:00	02:57:40:00	QUALIFY BUT IT JUST SORT
02:57:40:00	02:57:41:00	OF HAPPENED LIKE PARKS FOR
02:57:41:00	02:57:44:00	EXAMPLE, MOST OF THE PEOPLE
02:57:44:00	02:57:45:00	THAT CLEAN OUR STREETS OR PICK
02:57:45:00	02:57:48:00	UP OUR LEAVES OR DO STUFF LIKE
02:57:48:00	02:57:51:00	THAT LABOR MORE LABOR WHERE ARE
02:57:51:00	02:57:52:00	BLACK AND THEY GET PAID THE
02:57:52:00	02:57:53:00	LOWEST.
02:57:53:00	02:57:55:00	AND SO YOU HEAR ME OFTEN FILING
02:57:55:00	02:57:56:00	THINGS TO RAISE YOUR SALARY OR
02:57:56:00	02:57:59:00	ADVOCATE FOR FAIR PAY.
02:57:59:00	02:58:00:00	SOME OF THIS IS IN COLLECTIVE
02:58:00:00	02:58:01:00	BARGAINING, I GET IT.
02:58:01:00	02:58:03:00	BUT SOME OF IT IS NONUNION JOBS
02:58:03:00	02:58:07:00	AND SO I WONDER WHAT WE'RE
02:58:07:00	02:58:11:00	DOING IN TERMS OF BEING MORE
02:58:11:00	02:58:12:00	INTENTIONAL THAT WE HAVE MORE
02:58:12:00	02:58:12:00	BLACK PEOPLE IN UPPER
02:58:12:00	02:58:14:00	MANAGEMENT OR IN OTHER JOBS
02:58:14:00	02:58:17:00	OTHER THAN JUST A LOWER PAYING
02:58:17:00	02:58:21:00	MINIMUM WAGE JOBS.
02:58:21:00	02:58:21:00	YES.
02:58:21:00	02:58:25:00	SO I THINK PART OF THAT
02:58:25:00	02:58:26:00	OF COURSE IS BERNARDINO'S ROLE
02:58:26:00	02:58:29:00	RIGHT IN RECRUITMENT AND
02:58:29:00	02:58:30:00	WORKING WITH DEPARTMENTS RIGHT
02:58:30:00	02:58:33:00	NOW JUST WE HAVE A
02:58:33:00	02:58:34:00	DECENTRALIZED HRR SO I'M NOT
02:58:34:00	02:58:37:00	SURE IF EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT
02:58:37:00	02:58:38:00	AND SO WE HAVE CENTRAL H.R. SO
02:58:38:00	02:58:42:00	WE HAVE MY TEAM BUT THEN EACH
02:58:42:00	02:58:42:00	DEPARTMENT HAS ITS OWN H.R.
02:58:42:00	02:58:45:00	DIRECTOR PERSONNEL OFFICER AND
02:58:45:00	02:58:49:00	SO RIGHT NOW THE WAY THAT
02:58:49:00	02:58:50:00	RECRUITMENT WORKS, IT'S REALLY
02:58:50:00	02:58:52:00	EACH DEPARTMENT IS HAS BEEN
02:58:52:00	02:58:53:00	WORKING INDEPENDENTLY.
02:58:53:00	02:58:54:00	AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE
02:58:54:00	02:58:56:00	LOOKING TO DO WITH BERNARDINI
02:58:56:00	02:58:57:00	ROLE IN STRENGTHENING OUR
02:58:57:00	02:58:58:00	CENTRAL TEAM IS TO REALLY BE
02:58:58:00	02:59:00:00	ABLE TO WORK WITH DEPARTMENTS
02:59:00:00	02:59:01:00	AND REALLY OFFER TOOLS SUCH AS
02:59:01:00	02:59:05:00	RUBRICS AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO
02:59:05:00	02:59:06:00	MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE HIRING
02:59:06:00	02:59:09:00	PROCESSES ARE MORE EQUITABLE IN
02:59:09:00	02:59:09:00	HOW THEY'RE BEING DONE.
02:59:09:00	02:59:12:00	SO IT'S DEFINITELY AN AREA THAT
02:59:12:00	02:59:13:00	WE KNOW WE NEED TO DO A LOT
02:59:13:00	02:59:14:00	OF WORK IN AND WE'RE HOPING TO
02:59:14:00	02:59:16:00	GET AS MANY RESOURCES BEHIND AS
02:59:16:00	02:59:19:00	POSSIBLE AND WE DID A CITY
02:59:19:00	02:59:20:00	BERNADINE DID WITH THE MAYOR'S
02:59:20:00	02:59:24:00	CHIEF OF STAFF A TRAINING FOR A
02:59:24:00	02:59:24:00	DEPARTMENT HEADS AND OTHERS
02:59:24:00	02:59:27:00	AROUND RECRUITMENT AS WELL AND
02:59:27:00	02:59:28:00	WHAT ARE THE BEST RESOURCES AND
02:59:28:00	02:59:29:00	TACTICS.
02:59:29:00	02:59:32:00	SO WE'RE MOVING DEFINITELY I
02:59:32:00	02:59:32:00	DON'T AGAIN DON'T HAVE NUMBERS
02:59:32:00	02:59:35:00	IN FRONT OF ME BUT IT'S
02:59:35:00	02:59:36:00	SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK
02:59:36:00	02:59:37:00	TOWARDS GETTING TO YOU HOW
02:59:37:00	02:59:38:00	WE'VE BEEN DOING SO THUS FAR I
02:59:38:00	02:59:39:00	CAN SAY ON MY OWN TEAM WE'VE
02:59:39:00	02:59:42:00	DONE REALLY WELL SO IT'S
02:59:42:00	02:59:43:00	DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE
02:59:43:00	02:59:44:00	WERE LEADING BY EXAMPLE FOR
02:59:44:00	02:59:44:00	SURE.

03:02:36:00	03:02:37:00	SHE HAD TO DROP UNFORTUNATELY
03:02:37:00	03:02:39:00	FOR SHE'S ACTUALLY MEETING WITH
03:02:39:00	03:02:40:00	THE SMALL BUSINESS RIGHT NOW
03:02:40:00	03:02:44:00	KIND OF A STUDY THAT WE'RE
03:02:44:00	03:02:44:00	DOING AROUND PLACEMAKING AND
03:02:44:00	03:02:47:00	WHAT MORE THE CITY CAN BE DOING
03:02:47:00	03:02:48:00	BOTH IN TERMS OF INVESTMENTS
03:02:48:00	03:02:49:00	BUT ALSO THINGS THAT WE MIGHT
03:02:49:00	03:02:52:00	DO OUTSIDE THAT WHETHER IT'S
03:02:52:00	03:02:52:00	POLICY OR INITIATIVES OR HIRING
03:02:52:00	03:02:55:00	OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
03:02:55:00	03:02:56:00	BUT WE HAD A LITTLE BIT
03:02:56:00	03:02:57:00	OF MONEY IN THE LAST YEAR.
03:02:57:00	03:02:59:00	I THINK WE GOT 75 THOUSAND
03:02:59:00	03:03:00:00	SARAH CORRECT WILL CORRECT ME
03:03:00:00	03:03:09:00	IF I'M WRONG BUT WE HAD 75000
03:03:09:00	03:03:10:00	PLACEMAKING THAT I THINK A
03:03:10:00	03:03:11:00	LITTLE BIT OF IT GOT
03:03:11:00	03:03:12:00	DISTRIBUTED AND THE MONEY THAT

03:04:27:00	03:04:28:00	SO WE THEN PARTNERED WITH
03:04:28:00	03:04:31:00	HARVARD AND BEGAN TO COMMUNITY
03:04:31:00	03:04:31:00	MEMBERS BEGAN TO DEVELOPING
03:04:31:00	03:04:32:00	THIS ORGANIZATION THAT YOU TALK
03:04:32:00	03:04:35:00	ABOUT A COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP
03:04:35:00	03:04:36:00	THAT WOULD HOPEFULLY PARTNER
03:04:36:00	03:04:39:00	WITH THE CITY TO BE ABLE TO
03:04:39:00	03:04:39:00	RECEIVE FUNDS FROM PRIVATE

03:04:51:00	03:04:51:00	SMALL BUSINESSES WOULD SUSTAIN
03:04:51:00	03:04:54:00	FUTURE SUSTAINABILITY.
03:04:54:00	03:04:55:00	SO THE IDEA IS THAT THE
03:04:55:00	03:04:58:00	PARTNERSHIP TO CONCLUSIONS
03:04:58:00	03:04:59:00	POINT THAT IF WE CREATED A
03:04:59:00	03:05:02:00	PERSON THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BE
03:05:02:00	03:05:03:00	THE LIAISON THE BRIDGE BETWEEN
03:05:03:00	03:05:06:00	THE CITY AND THAT PRIVATE
03:05:06:00	03:05:06:00	ORGANIZATION OR RATHER THAT
03:05:06:00	03:05:09:00	NONPROFIT COMMUNITY NONPROFIT
03:05:09:00	03:05:10:00	WE'RE EACH IMAGINE THAT EACH
03:05:10:00	03:05:14:00	DISTRICT HAD ONE AND THEN THE
03:05:14:00	03:05:17:00	ORGANIZATION ITSELF WOULD SAY
03:05:17:00	03:05:21:00	TO THE CITY LOOK OR THE LIAISON
03:05:21:00	03:05:22:00	WOULD SAY TO THE CITY LOOK THIS
03:05:22:00	03:05:25:00	THIS BUSINESS LIKE FOR EXAMPLE
03:05:25:00	03:05:26:00	THE LEGACY BUSINESSES BUSINESS
03:05:26:00	03:05:29:00	IS GOING TO IT HAS PROVEN
03:05:29:00	03:05:30:00	PATHWAY TO SUSTAINABILITY NOT
03:05:30:00	03:05:33:00	BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO SUPPORT
03:05:33:00	03:05:34:00	THEM IN THIS WAY.
03:05:34:00	03:05:35:00	THEY HAVE A RECORD PROBABLY IN
03:05:35:00	03:05:38:00	THE CITY THEN SORT GIVES THEM
03:05:38:00	03:05:39:00	THAT SEED MONEY TO GET THEM OUT
03:05:39:00	03:05:41:00	OF THE TEMPORARY SITUATION AND
03:05:41:00	03:05:42:00	THEN THE ORGANIZATION WOULD
03:05:42:00	03:05:46:00	CREATE SUSTAINABILITY AND D7 IS
03:05:46:00	03:05:49:00	GOING TO HAVE THAT SEVEN IS
03:05:49:00	03:05:50:00	GOING TO HAVE THIS THIS
03:05:50:00	03:05:51:00	NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION WHO IS
03:05:51:00	03:05:54:00	WORKING WITH BOSTON FOUNDATION
03:05:54:00	03:05:55:00	TO FIGURE OUT WHERE DO WE GO IN
03:05:55:00	03:05:58:00	TERMS OF FUNDING BUT ALSO
03:05:58:00	03:05:58:00	MITIGATING COMMUNITY BENEFITS
03:05:58:00	03:06:01:00	THROUGH DEVELOPMENT TO BE ABLE
03:06:01:00	03:06:01:00	TO DO THAT.
03:06:01:00	03:06:02:00	AND I'M WONDERING AND THIS HAS
03:06:02:00	03:06:05:00	BEEN THE WORK OF MY OFFICE AND
03:06:05:00	03:06:08:00	I WANT I'M WONDERING IF WHERE

03:06:10:00	03:06:13:00	WORKING WHERE FROM WHERE YOU
03:06:13:00	03:06:16:00	ARE WITH OUR WORK IN OUR OFFICE
03:06:16:00	03:06:18:00	TO BE ABLE TO DO JUST WHAT YOU
03:06:18:00	03:06:20:00	SAID YOU WANT TO DO.
03:06:20:00	03:06:21:00	WELL, COUNCILOR , IN THAT
03:06:21:00	03:06:24:00	SCENARIO I WOULD SEE US SITTING
03:06:24:00	03:06:25:00	WITH CONTINUING TO SIT WITH
03:06:25:00	03:06:28:00	YOUR OFFICE WHOEVER IS A PART
03:06:28:00	03:06:29:00	OF THIS NEWLY ESTABLISHED
03:06:29:00	03:06:32:00	ORGANIZATION AND WITH OUR MAIN
03:06:32:00	03:06:33:00	STREETS TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE'RE
03:06:33:00	03:06:36:00	MARSHALING EXISTING CITY
03:06:36:00	03:06:37:00	RESOURCES TO SUPPORT THE VISION
03:06:37:00	03:06:40:00	THAT THAT YOU'VE IDENTIFIED SO
03:06:40:00	03:06:44:00	THAT THE REPORT THAT YOU'VE PUT
03:06:44:00	03:06:45:00	TOGETHER I THINK WE COULD GO
03:06:45:00	03:06:48:00	THROUGH THAT AND KIND OF THINK
03:06:48:00	03:06:49:00	ABOUT LIKE YOU KNOW, BASED ON
03:06:49:00	03:06:52:00	WHAT'S LAID OUT, WHAT ALREADY
03:06:52:00	03:06:53:00	EXISTS ON SMALL BUSINESS OR
03:06:53:00	03:06:55:00	SUPPLIER DIVERSITY OR TOURISM,
03:06:55:00	03:06:56:00	ET CETERA THAT WE MAKE SURE ARE
03:06:56:00	03:06:59:00	PART OF WHATEVER PACKAGE TO,
03:06:59:00	03:07:00:00	YOU KNOW, SUPPORT THAT VISION
03:07:00:00	03:07:03:00	COMING TO LIFE AND THEN, YOU
03:07:03:00	03:07:06:00	KNOW, IN TERMS OF FTD, YOU
03:07:06:00	03:07:10:00	KNOW, I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S
03:07:10:00	03:07:11:00	ANY DEPARTMENT THAT WOULD NOT
03:07:11:00	03:07:14:00	GLADLY ACCEPT MORE HUMAN
03:07:14:00	03:07:15:00	CAPACITY BUT TO AVOID
03:07:15:00	03:07:19:00	DUPLICATION I WOULD I THINK
03:07:19:00	03:07:20:00	THIS ALSO KIND OF GOES TO
03:07:20:00	03:07:22:00	COUNCIL WHERE I WAS QUESTIONED.
03:07:22:00	03:07:23:00	SO I ACTUALLY WOULD LOVE TO
03:07:23:00	03:07:24:00	LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS SO THAT
03:07:24:00	03:07:27:00	WE COULD THINK ABOUT WHAT IS
03:07:27:00	03:07:27:00	THE ROLE OF OUR MAIN STREETS
03:07:27:00	03:07:29:00	GIVEN THAT THE CITY IS GOING TO
03:07:29:00	03:07:30:00	BE INVESTING SO MUCH IN THAT
03:07:30:00	03:07:31:00	ORGAN AND THOSE ORGANIZATIONS
03:07:31:00	03:07:33:00	AND PART OF IS TO ENSURE THAT
03:07:33:00	03:07:37:00	THEY ARE ADDING CAPACITY AS
03:07:37:00	03:07:38:00	MANY OF THEM ONLY HAVE THE
03:07:38:00	03:07:39:00	DIRECTOR AND THAT'S THE ONLY
03:07:39:00	03:07:41:00	STAFF PERSON WE WANT TO SEE WAY
03:07:41:00	03:07:42:00	MORE FOLKS WORKING AT THE MAIN
03:07:42:00	03:07:43:00	STREETS.
03:07:43:00	03:07:45:00	AND SO AS KIND OF OUR BOOTS ON
03:07:45:00	03:07:46:00	THE GROUND IN DIFFERENT
03:07:46:00	03:07:49:00	COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS, I WOULD
03:07:49:00	03:07:52:00	WANT TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE
03:07:52:00	03:07:53:00	EMPOWER MAIN STREETS TO KIND
03:07:53:00	03:07:56:00	OF BE THAT LIAISON GIVEN THAT
03:07:56:00	03:07:57:00	ARE ALREADY OUT THERE
03:07:57:00	03:07:59:00	CONNECTING WITH FOLKS YOU KNOW
03:07:59:00	03:08:00:00	, PHILANTHROPY, INVESTMENT, ET
03:08:00:00	03:08:00:00	CETERA.
03:08:00:00	03:08:04:00	BUT ANYWAY YEAH, I DO
03:08:04:00	03:08:07:00	APPRECIATE YOUR FRUGAL AND
03:08:07:00	03:08:08:00	RESOURCEFUL WAY OF THINKING
03:08:08:00	03:08:11:00	OF USING WHAT'S ALREADY
03:08:11:00	03:08:12:00	EXISTENT AND EXISTENCE AND YES,
03:08:12:00	03:08:15:00	MAIN STREETS WOULD BE GREAT BUT
03:08:15:00	03:08:18:00	ALSO LIKE COULD MATRIX BE THE
03:08:18:00	03:08:19:00	THAT BODY, THE BRIDGE OR THE
03:08:19:00	03:08:22:00	LEADS ON TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
03:08:22:00	03:08:26:00	OFFICE THAT IS IS IS EMPLOYED
03:08:26:00	03:08:30:00	BY THE CITY AND NOT CONTRACTING
03:08:30:00	03:08:31:00	OR NOT REIMBURSED BY CBG OR
03:08:31:00	03:08:34:00	CITY FUNDS CITY AND I THINK
03:08:34:00	03:08:35:00	IT'S MOSTLY CDG BUT THERE'S
03:08:35:00	03:08:38:00	SOME RIGHT THERE SOME FUNDS
03:08:38:00	03:08:39:00	THERE FROM CITY AND THAT THEY
03:08:39:00	03:08:42:00	ARE CITY EMPLOYEES THAT THE
03:08:42:00	03:08:45:00	BOARD OF MAIN STREETS ARE SEEN
03:08:45:00	03:08:46:00	AS TASK FORCES SO THAT THEY
03:08:46:00	03:08:49:00	THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE AN INPUT
03:08:49:00	03:08:50:00	AND NOT BE THE BODY THAT IS
03:08:50:00	03:08:53:00	CONTROLLING THE DIRECTOR.
03:08:53:00	03:08:55:00	I THINK THE DIRECTOR COULD BE
03:08:55:00	03:08:58:00	THE REMOTE OFFICE AN EXTENSION
03:08:58:00	03:09:03:00	OF THE ECONOMIC ECONOMICAL
03:09:03:00	03:09:08:00	ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THAT IT'S
03:09:08:00	03:09:12:00	AN EXTENSION AND THEN YOU HAVE
03:09:12:00	03:09:16:00	YOUR TECH VIRTUAL TECH PEOPLE
03:09:16:00	03:09:17:00	AND THEN WE COULD WORK ON BE
03:09:17:00	03:09:20:00	LOCAL AND NOT TO PROMOTE TOO
03:09:20:00	03:09:20:00	MUCH.
03:09:20:00	03:09:21:00	OBVIOUSLY THAT'S THE POINT FOR
03:09:21:00	03:09:24:00	MOST OF WHAT I FEEL BUT TO BE
03:09:24:00	03:09:25:00	ABLE TO DIGITIZE OUR SMALL
03:09:25:00	03:09:27:00	BUSINESSES BECAUSE COVID
03:09:27:00	03:09:28:00	BECAUSE WE NEED TO COMPETE WITH
03:09:28:00	03:09:31:00	AMAZON'S RIGHT OF THE WORLD BUT
03:09:31:00	03:09:32:00	TO BE ABLE TO DIGITIZE AND
03:09:32:00	03:09:33:00	CREATE AND CREATE THIS VIRTUAL
03:09:33:00	03:09:35:00	MARKET SPACE MEANS THAT YOU
03:09:35:00	03:09:36:00	HAVE IN A MAINSTREAM OFFICE
03:09:36:00	03:09:39:00	WITH TECH ASSISTANCE THAT
03:09:39:00	03:09:40:00	PROVIDES TECH SUPPORT VIRTUALLY
03:09:40:00	03:09:42:00	FROM THESE REMOTE OFFICES AND
03:09:42:00	03:09:43:00	THE DIRECTORS ARE ESSENTIALLY
03:09:43:00	03:09:47:00	YOUR EMPLOYEES AND YOUR BOARDS
03:09:47:00	03:09:48:00	THEY THEY ARE TASK FORCES THAT
03:09:48:00	03:09:50:00	GIVE INPUT THAT GO OUT THE
03:09:50:00	03:09:51:00	VOLUNTEER THAT FUNDRAISE FOR
03:09:51:00	03:09:54:00	COMMUNITY EFFORTS BUT THAT THEY
03:09:54:00	03:09:55:00	ARE NOT INDEPENDENT NONPROFITS.
03:09:55:00	03:09:58:00	THESE ARE I WORK FOR MAIN
03:09:58:00	03:10:02:00	STREET AND I KNOW ZALI IT DOES
03:10:02:00	03:10:02:00	NOT WORK.
03:10:02:00	03:10:03:00	IT'S THE FUNDS ARE NOT
03:10:03:00	03:10:06:00	SUFFICIENT AND TO CONTINUE TO
03:10:06:00	03:10:07:00	FUND AN ORGANIZATION THAT IF
03:10:07:00	03:10:10:00	YOU ARE IN A COMMUNITY WHERE
03:10:10:00	03:10:14:00	BOARD MEMBERS ARE INVOLVED
03:10:14:00	03:10:15:00	BECAUSE THEY ARE DEVELOPERS OR
03:10:15:00	03:10:18:00	BECAUSE THEY WANT SOMETHING FOR
03:10:18:00	03:10:18:00	THEIR BENEFIT.
03:10:18:00	03:10:19:00	RIGHT.
03:10:19:00	03:10:22:00	AND IT BECOMES A CONFLICT IT'S
03:10:22:00	03:10:22:00	NOT.
03:10:22:00	03:10:23:00	BUT THEN WHEN THEIR DEVELOPMENT
03:10:23:00	03:10:24:00	COMES UP MAIN STREET TO PROVE
03:10:24:00	03:10:26:00	IT WITHOUT IT PROPERLY GOING
03:10:26:00	03:10:27:00	THROUGH OTHER CIVIC
03:10:27:00	03:10:30:00	ASSOCIATIONS SO IS ALL OF THIS
03:10:30:00	03:10:31:00	CONFLICT THAT I COULD TALK TO
03:10:31:00	03:10:32:00	YOU ABOUT ALL DAY AND I'LL STOP
03:10:32:00	03:10:33:00	THERE.
03:10:33:00	03:10:34:00	BUT I ENVISION THE DIRECTORS
03:10:34:00	03:10:37:00	BEING CITY EMPLOYEES AND YOU
