00:26:54:00	00:26:55:00	ON THIS COMMUNICATION.
00:26:55:00	00:26:58:00	I DID WANT TO FILE IT INTO THE
00:26:58:00	00:26:58:00	RECORD BUT AFTER SOMEONE
00:26:58:00	00:27:02:00	BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT A

00:27:05:00	00:27:06:00	I DID JUST WANT TO STAND UP AND
00:27:06:00	00:27:09:00	SHARE MY THOUGHTS ON IT.
00:27:09:00	00:27:10:00	LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT SHOWING UP
00:27:10:00	00:27:12:00	LISTENING AND DOING THE WORK.
00:27:12:00	00:27:13:00	THAT'S WHAT I'VE DONE EVERY DAY
00:27:13:00	00:27:16:00	AS AN AT LARGE CITY
00:27:16:00	00:27:17:00	COUNCILOR ELECTED WITH OVER

00:27:23:00	00:27:24:00	I FIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE I
00:27:24:00	00:27:24:00	REPRESENT.
00:27:24:00	00:27:28:00	THAT'S WHY I WON'T STAY SILENT
00:27:28:00	00:27:28:00	WHEN I SEE BLATANT EXCLUSION
00:27:28:00	00:27:31:00	AND POLITICAL GAMESMANSHIP
00:27:31:00	00:27:32:00	WHETHER IT'S BEING DELIBERATELY
00:27:32:00	00:27:33:00	PREVENTED FROM SPEAKING AT

00:27:43:00	00:27:43:00	ISOLATED INCIDENTS.
00:27:43:00	00:27:44:00	THEY ARE PART OF A PATTERN
00:27:44:00	00:27:47:00	MEANT TO SILENCE DIMINISH AND
00:27:47:00	00:27:47:00	DISCREDIT ME.
00:27:47:00	00:27:48:00	BUT I REFUSE TO LET THAT HAPPEN
00:27:48:00	00:27:52:00	NOT JUST FOR MYSELF BUT FOR
00:27:52:00	00:27:52:00	EVERY CITY EMPLOYEE RESIDENT
00:27:52:00	00:27:55:00	AND ADVOCATE WHO HAS EVER BEEN
00:27:55:00	00:27:56:00	TREATED AS INVISIBLE WHEN THEY
00:27:56:00	00:27:59:00	SPOKE UP.
00:27:59:00	00:27:59:00	THIS IS NOT ABOUT PLAYING THE
00:27:59:00	00:28:00:00	VICTIM.
00:28:00:00	00:28:02:00	IT'S ABOUT DEMANDING THE
00:28:02:00	00:28:03:00	RESPECT THAT EVERY ELECTED
00:28:03:00	00:28:06:00	OFFICIAL IN EVERY RESIDENT

00:28:10:00	00:28:13:00	VOICES THEY DISAGREE WITH, IT
00:28:13:00	00:28:14:00	SENDS A DANGEROUS MESSAGE THAT
00:28:14:00	00:28:17:00	GOVERNMENT IS ABOUT POWER NOT

00:28:28:00	00:28:29:00	CASES HAVE MADE ME STRONGER AND

00:28:37:00	00:28:38:00	UNDERMINED I DO IT BECAUSE I
00:28:38:00	00:28:41:00	KNOW THAT IF IT HAPPENS TO
00:28:41:00	00:28:44:00	ME AN ELECTED OFFICIAL IT IS
00:28:44:00	00:28:45:00	HAPPENING TO OTHERS WHO DON'T
00:28:45:00	00:28:46:00	HAVE THE SAME PLATFORM TO PUSH

00:40:35:00	00:40:36:00	CLARIFIED THE POLICY WAS

00:40:47:00	00:40:50:00	DISCUSSIONS AND JUDGES WERE
00:40:50:00	00:40:50:00	MADE AND THERE WERE THREE
00:40:50:00	00:40:53:00	DISCUSSIONS THAT WERE MADE TO
00:40:53:00	00:40:54:00	THE LANGUAGE THAT COUNCIL WEBER
00:40:54:00	00:40:57:00	PROPOSED AND THERE WERE THREE
00:40:57:00	00:40:57:00	SMALL AMENDMENTS.
00:40:57:00	00:40:57:00	ONE WAS TO ADD LANGUAGE.
00:40:57:00	00:40:59:00	IT CLARIFIED THAT THE POLICY
00:40:59:00	00:41:00:00	APPLIES TO COUNCILORS AND THEIR
00:41:00:00	00:41:01:00	STAFF WHO ARE EMPLOYED WITH THE
00:41:01:00	00:41:03:00	CITY COUNCIL MEANING THAT WE
00:41:03:00	00:41:04:00	ARE CONTROLLING WHAT WE CAN
00:41:04:00	00:41:05:00	WHICH IS RIGHT HERE ON THE
00:41:05:00	00:41:05:00	BOSTON CITY COUNCIL.
00:41:05:00	00:41:07:00	SO THERE WAS LANGUAGE ADDED
00:41:07:00	00:41:08:00	JUST TO CLARIFY THAT IT WAS FOR
00:41:08:00	00:41:10:00	THE CITY COUNCIL AND THEN THERE
00:41:10:00	00:41:11:00	WAS LANGUAGE ADDED REGARDING
00:41:11:00	00:41:14:00	JUST A CLARIFY THAT ANY
00:41:14:00	00:41:15:00	AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO
00:41:15:00	00:41:16:00	BULLYING WOULD ALSO BE
00:41:16:00	00:41:19:00	PROHIBITED.
00:41:19:00	00:41:19:00	THIS COUNCIL LAST YEAR VERY
00:41:19:00	00:41:22:00	SIMILARLY PASSED IN ORDER TO
00:41:22:00	00:41:23:00	PROHIBIT BULLYING ON THE ON THE
00:41:23:00	00:41:23:00	CITY COUNCIL.
00:41:23:00	00:41:27:00	SO THIS LANGUAGE WAS ADDED ON
00:41:27:00	00:41:27:00	THE SUGGESTION AND
00:41:27:00	00:41:28:00	RECOMMENDATION OF COUNCIL QUOTE
00:41:28:00	00:41:31:00	ZAPATA TO ADD BULLYING AS TO
00:41:31:00	00:41:31:00	THE LANGUAGE.
00:41:31:00	00:41:33:00	AND THEN THIRD WAS JUST ABOUT
00:41:33:00	00:41:34:00	IMPLEMENTATION.
00:41:34:00	00:41:37:00	THERE WAS LANGUAGE ADDED TO
00:41:37:00	00:41:37:00	STRENGTHEN THE ADMINISTRATIVE
00:41:37:00	00:41:38:00	PROCEDURES AROUND ENSURING THAT
00:41:38:00	00:41:40:00	ALL CURRENT AND FUTURE STAFF
00:41:40:00	00:41:41:00	MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL ARE
00:41:41:00	00:41:42:00	AWARE OF THE POLICY AGREED TO
00:41:42:00	00:41:42:00	THE POLICY AND THAT THEIR
00:41:42:00	00:41:44:00	AGREEMENT IS ADEQUATELY
00:41:44:00	00:41:45:00	RETAINED AS IT WAS WRITTEN
00:41:45:00	00:41:49:00	THERE WAS LIKE YOU COULDN'T BE
00:41:49:00	00:41:52:00	100% SURE THAT IT WOULD APPLY
00:41:52:00	00:41:52:00	TO CURRENT EMPLOYEES.
00:41:52:00	00:41:53:00	SO THAT THIRD EDITION WAS JUST
00:41:53:00	00:41:56:00	TO ENSURE THAT IT WAS NOT JUST
00:41:56:00	00:41:57:00	APPLIED TO FUTURE EMPLOYEES BUT
00:41:57:00	00:41:59:00	THAT CURRENT EMPLOYEES WOULD
00:41:59:00	00:42:00:00	ALSO GET A COPY OF THE POLICY.
00:42:00:00	00:42:02:00	SO THESE THOSE ARE THE THREE
00:42:02:00	00:42:02:00	CHANGES THAT WERE MADE.
00:42:02:00	00:42:03:00	MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT
00:42:03:00	00:42:06:00	DOCKET NUMBER 016 TO REMAIN IN

00:42:06:00	00:42:10:00	NUMBER 0101908 TO PASS I WILL
00:42:10:00	00:42:13:00	PASS IT OVER TO THE LEAD
00:42:13:00	00:42:14:00	SPONSORS IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO
00:42:14:00	00:42:17:00	SPEAK ON THIS MATTER AND
00:42:17:00	00:42:20:00	WHETHER YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
00:42:20:00	00:42:21:00	ALL RIGHT.
00:42:21:00	00:42:25:00	THANK WELCOME BACK
00:42:25:00	00:42:28:00	COUNCILOR BREADON AS A THANK
00:42:28:00	00:42:31:00	YOU TO MADAM PRESIDENT AND TO
00:42:31:00	00:42:32:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY FOR FILING THE
00:42:32:00	00:42:33:00	HEARING ORDER YOU KNOW,
00:42:33:00	00:42:36:00	REPRESENTING WORKERS FOR THE
00:42:36:00	00:42:36:00	LAST TWO DECADES I'VE BEEN
00:42:36:00	00:42:40:00	CONCERNED BY THE INCREASED USE
00:42:40:00	00:42:43:00	OF NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS
00:42:43:00	00:42:43:00	NON-COMPETE AGREEMENTS,
00:42:43:00	00:42:44:00	ARBITRATION CLAUSES AND ALL
00:42:44:00	00:42:47:00	SORTS OF OTHER AGREEMENTS THAT
00:42:47:00	00:42:51:00	PRIVATE EMPLOYERS NOW REQUIRE
00:42:51:00	00:42:55:00	EMPLOYEES TO SIGN WITH IN ORDER
00:42:55:00	00:42:56:00	FOR THEM TO EVEN GET A JOB AT A
00:42:56:00	00:42:58:00	COMPANY.
00:42:58:00	00:42:59:00	I'VE ALSO BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT
00:42:59:00	00:43:00:00	THE SPREAD OF THE USE
00:43:00:00	00:43:02:00	OF NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS IN
00:43:02:00	00:43:06:00	POLITICS EVEN THOUGH THEY WOULD
00:43:06:00	00:43:06:00	NOT BE ENFORCEABLE UNDER THE
00:43:06:00	00:43:10:00	OUR STATE WHISTLEBLOWER ACT IF
00:43:10:00	00:43:11:00	SOMEBODY WAS COMING FORWARD TO
00:43:11:00	00:43:14:00	EXPOSE UNLAWFUL ACTIVITY.
00:43:14:00	00:43:15:00	YOU KNOW, I DO THINK THERE IS A
00:43:15:00	00:43:18:00	POTENTIAL FOR INTIMIDATION AND
00:43:18:00	00:43:19:00	I JUST I DON'T THINK THEY'RE
00:43:19:00	00:43:22:00	GOOD PUBLIC POLICY.
00:43:22:00	00:43:23:00	THE THE LANGUAGE OF THE POLICY
00:43:23:00	00:43:25:00	THAT I DREW UP DOES TWO THINGS.
00:43:25:00	00:43:28:00	FIRST, IT MIRRORS THE LANGUAGE
00:43:28:00	00:43:31:00	OF THE STATE SENATE PASSED IN
00:43:31:00	00:43:32:00	2019 TO BAN NONDISCLOSURE
00:43:32:00	00:43:32:00	AGREEMENTS THERE.
00:43:32:00	00:43:35:00	IT JUST SAYS YOU AS A BODY THE
00:43:35:00	00:43:36:00	COUNCILORS AGREED NOT TO
00:43:36:00	00:43:39:00	REQUIRE PEOPLE TO SIGN
00:43:39:00	00:43:39:00	NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS
00:43:39:00	00:43:42:00	NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT SORRY,
00:43:42:00	00:43:43:00	NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS,
00:43:43:00	00:43:43:00	NON-DISPARAGEMENT AGREEMENTS,
00:43:43:00	00:43:46:00	CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS OR
00:43:46:00	00:43:46:00	ANYTHING ELSE THAT WOULD
00:43:46:00	00:43:47:00	RESTRICT SOMEBODY'S ABILITY TO
00:43:47:00	00:43:50:00	EXPOSE OR TO TALK ABOUT POLICY
00:43:50:00	00:43:53:00	ISSUES AND WHAT'S GOING ON IN
00:43:53:00	00:43:53:00	THE COUNCIL AS A CONDITION
00:43:53:00	00:43:57:00	OF WORKING ON THE COUNCIL.
00:43:57:00	00:43:58:00	NUMBER TWO, IT WOULD THE
00:43:58:00	00:44:01:00	COUNCILORS WOULD AGREE THAT ANY
00:44:01:00	00:44:01:00	OF THESE AGREEMENTS THAT THEY
00:44:01:00	00:44:02:00	CURRENTLY HAVE THEY WOULD NOT
00:44:02:00	00:44:05:00	SEEK TO ENFORCE.
00:44:05:00	00:44:09:00	AND SO ESSENTIALLY BY, YOU
00:44:09:00	00:44:09:00	KNOW, ENACTING THIS POLICY WE
00:44:09:00	00:44:13:00	WOULD SHOW THE PUBLIC THAT WE
00:44:13:00	00:44:13:00	STAND TOGETHER IN EMPOWERING
00:44:13:00	00:44:17:00	OUR STAFFERS TO SPEAK OUT, YOU
00:44:17:00	00:44:20:00	KNOW, ON BEHALF OF THE PUBLIC
00:44:20:00	00:44:24:00	AND THAT WE ARE NOT ONLY
00:44:24:00	00:44:24:00	SUPPORTING TRANSPARENCY, WE'RE
00:44:24:00	00:44:28:00	SUPPORTING OUR OWN STAFFERS.
00:44:28:00	00:44:31:00	THANK THANK YOU AND
00:44:31:00	00:44:32:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY, YOU HAVE THE
00:44:32:00	00:44:36:00	FLOOR.
00:44:36:00	00:44:39:00	THANK YOU, COUNCILOR.
00:44:39:00	00:44:40:00	WE HELD AN IMPORTANT HEARING TO
00:44:40:00	00:44:42:00	EXAMINE THE USE
00:44:42:00	00:44:43:00	OF NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS
00:44:43:00	00:44:47:00	CONFIDENTIALITY CLAUSES AND
00:44:47:00	00:44:47:00	OTHER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
00:44:47:00	00:44:51:00	WITHIN THE COUNCIL AND ACROSS
00:44:51:00	00:44:51:00	AGENCIES AND WHETHER THIS IS
00:44:51:00	00:44:52:00	STAYING IN COMMITTEE BECAUSE WE
00:44:52:00	00:44:54:00	DIDN'T REALLY TOUCH ON OTHER
00:44:54:00	00:44:57:00	CITY AGENCIES AT THIS MEETING
00:44:57:00	00:44:58:00	YET.
00:44:58:00	00:44:58:00	SO THIS DISCUSSION IS CRUCIAL
00:44:58:00	00:45:01:00	IN ENSURING THAT OUR POLICIES
00:45:01:00	00:45:02:00	ALIGN WITH THE PRINCIPLES
00:45:02:00	00:45:05:00	OF TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY
00:45:05:00	00:45:06:00	AND WORKFORCE WORKPLACE
00:45:06:00	00:45:09:00	FAIRNESS WHILE NDAS AND
00:45:09:00	00:45:10:00	CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS ARE
00:45:10:00	00:45:10:00	OFTEN INTENDED TO PROTECT
00:45:10:00	00:45:14:00	SENSITIVE INFORMATION, THEIR
00:45:14:00	00:45:15:00	USE IN MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT
00:45:15:00	00:45:18:00	RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS IN A
00:45:18:00	00:45:19:00	GOVERNMENT THAT SERVES THE
00:45:19:00	00:45:19:00	PUBLIC IT IS ESSENTIAL TO
00:45:19:00	00:45:22:00	BALANCE THE NEED FOR
00:45:22:00	00:45:23:00	CONFIDENTIALITY WITH THE
00:45:23:00	00:45:26:00	PUBLIC'S RIGHT TO TRANSPARENT
00:45:26:00	00:45:26:00	SEE PARTICULARLY WHEN THESE
00:45:26:00	00:45:27:00	AGREEMENTS HAVE THE POTENTIAL
00:45:27:00	00:45:30:00	TO CONCEAL MISCONDUCT ACT LIMIT
00:45:30:00	00:45:31:00	ACCOUNTABILITY OR ERODE PUBLIC
00:45:31:00	00:45:34:00	TRUST AND ALL OF US OR MOST
00:45:34:00	00:45:38:00	OF US PROBABLY READ THE AUDIT
00:45:38:00	00:45:39:00	THAT CAME OUT FROM AUDITORS.
00:45:39:00	00:45:41:00	ZOGBY OH, LAST WEEK AND THE
00:45:41:00	00:45:42:00	GOVERNOR SWIFTLY BANNING THEM
00:45:42:00	00:45:45:00	FROM ALL STATE AGENCIES AND
00:45:45:00	00:45:45:00	DEPARTMENTS.
00:45:45:00	00:45:49:00	SO THE HEARING DID PROVIDE AN
00:45:49:00	00:45:49:00	OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW EXISTING
00:45:49:00	00:45:52:00	POLICIES AS ASSESS THEIR IMPACT
00:45:52:00	00:45:55:00	ON GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY AND
00:45:55:00	00:45:56:00	EXPLORE POTENTIAL REFORMS.
00:45:56:00	00:46:00:00	AND SO I'M GLAD WE'RE GOING TO
00:46:00:00	00:46:01:00	MOVE FORWARD WITH THE POLICY
00:46:01:00	00:46:02:00	BRIEF THAT COUNCILOR WEBER PUT
00:46:02:00	00:46:04:00	FORTH FOR US ON THE COUNCIL.
00:46:04:00	00:46:07:00	BUT I DO WANT TO SAY THAT MAYBE
00:46:07:00	00:46:08:00	WE COULD FILE AN AMENDMENT TO
00:46:08:00	00:46:12:00	THAT POLICY BRIEF BUT I KNOW
00:46:12:00	00:46:12:00	COUNCIL FLYNN AND I HAVE FILED
00:46:12:00	00:46:15:00	A HOME RULE PETITION THAT WILL
00:46:15:00	00:46:18:00	BE FOR NEXT WEEK'S AGENDA TO
00:46:18:00	00:46:19:00	EXPAND THIS FOR ALL CITY
00:46:19:00	00:46:19:00	AGENCIES ACROSS THE CITY.
00:46:19:00	00:46:22:00	SO I'M NOT TRUMP COUNCIL.
00:46:22:00	00:46:23:00	FLYNN WANTED TO SPEAK MORE ON
00:46:23:00	00:46:26:00	THAT BUT I AM LOOKING FORWARD
00:46:26:00	00:46:26:00	TO PASSING IT HERE ON THE
00:46:26:00	00:46:29:00	COUNCIL BUT I FEEL LIKE THAT'S
00:46:29:00	00:46:29:00	JUST THE FIRST STEP AND WE DO
00:46:29:00	00:46:30:00	NEED TO GO FURTHER.
00:46:30:00	00:46:30:00	SO THANK YOU.

00:46:32:00	00:46:33:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN, YOU HAVE THE
00:46:33:00	00:46:36:00	FLOOR.
00:46:36:00	00:46:36:00	THANK YOU MA'AM.
00:46:36:00	00:46:37:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
00:46:37:00	00:46:40:00	AND AND WELCOME BACK AS WELL.
00:46:40:00	00:46:43:00	I ALSO WANT TO THANK MY
00:46:43:00	00:46:44:00	COLLEAGUES FOR BRINGING THIS
00:46:44:00	00:46:46:00	FORWARD ESPECIALLY
00:46:46:00	00:46:47:00	COUNCIL MURPHY WHO HAS BEEN
00:46:47:00	00:46:48:00	WORKING ON THIS ISSUE FOR A
00:46:48:00	00:46:51:00	LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
00:46:51:00	00:46:51:00	I DON'T BELIEVE NDAS OR
00:46:51:00	00:46:55:00	CONFIDENTIAL AGREEMENTS OR ANY
00:46:55:00	00:46:56:00	OTHER WORDING WE MAY HAVE TO
00:46:56:00	00:46:58:00	DESCRIBE THEM.
00:46:58:00	00:46:59:00	I DON'T BELIEVE THEY BELONG IN
00:46:59:00	00:47:03:00	CITY GOVERNMENT PERIOD.
00:47:03:00	00:47:07:00	I FIND THEM MENTALLY OPPOSED TO
00:47:07:00	00:47:08:00	THEM HERE ON THE CITY
00:47:08:00	00:47:10:00	COUNCIL AND CITY DEPARTMENTS
00:47:10:00	00:47:14:00	AND IT'S THEY'RE NOT TRANS
00:47:14:00	00:47:18:00	PARENT AND WE'RE HIDING
00:47:18:00	00:47:19:00	SOMETHING WHEN NDAS ARE SIGNED
00:47:19:00	00:47:22:00	AND KEPT QUIET PUBLIC DESERVES
00:47:22:00	00:47:25:00	THE RIGHT TO KNOW IN HIDING
00:47:25:00	00:47:29:00	BEHIND AN NDA ONLY ADDS
00:47:29:00	00:47:36:00	CONFUSION IT ONLY ADDS RUMOR OR
00:47:36:00	00:47:39:00	FACTS THAT ARE UNCLEAR TO
00:47:39:00	00:47:43:00	PEOPLE IN IT BRINGS OUT THE
00:47:43:00	00:47:47:00	WORST IN PEOPLE AS WELL AND THE
00:47:47:00	00:47:48:00	NDAS HAVE NO PLACE AT ALL IN
00:47:48:00	00:47:50:00	CITY GOVERNMENT.
00:47:50:00	00:47:51:00	GOVERNOR HEALEY WAS CLEAR ABOUT
00:47:51:00	00:47:55:00	THAT IN ORDER BODY AUDITOR
00:47:55:00	00:47:56:00	DISSOLVED LEO WAS CLEAR ABOUT
00:47:56:00	00:47:58:00	THAT TOO.
00:47:58:00	00:47:59:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY MENTIONED WE
00:47:59:00	00:48:03:00	ARE FILING A HOME RULE TO BAN
00:48:03:00	00:48:06:00	THEM THROUGHOUT CITY
00:48:06:00	00:48:06:00	GOVERNMENT.
00:48:06:00	00:48:10:00	I BELIEVE THIS PROPOSAL THAT
00:48:10:00	00:48:10:00	GOING TO SUPPORT DOESN'T GO FAR
00:48:10:00	00:48:13:00	ENOUGH.
00:48:13:00	00:48:17:00	WE ALSO HAD I DON'T KNOW MAYBE
00:48:17:00	00:48:18:00	SEVEN OR SIX COLLEAGUES AT THE
00:48:18:00	00:48:21:00	MEETING AND IT WAS A VERY GOOD
00:48:21:00	00:48:24:00	MEETING BUT THERE WAS A LOT
00:48:24:00	00:48:24:00	OF GOOD INFORMATION THAT SOME
00:48:24:00	00:48:28:00	OF OUR COLLEAGUES THAT WEREN'T
00:48:28:00	00:48:31:00	THERE WEREN'T ABLE TO
00:48:31:00	00:48:35:00	UNDERSTAND OR WORK ON OR HAD
00:48:35:00	00:48:35:00	THEIR INPUT.
00:48:35:00	00:48:36:00	I THINK THEIR INPUT WOULD HAVE
00:48:36:00	00:48:38:00	BEEN CRITICAL TO MAKE THIS AN
00:48:38:00	00:48:42:00	EVEN MORE STRONGER POLICY.

00:48:53:00	00:48:57:00	AND IF WE WANT ME TO PROVIDE
00:48:57:00	00:48:57:00	THE CORRECT PAPERWORK I'D

01:03:20:00	01:03:20:00	MAKERS.
01:03:20:00	01:03:23:00	WHERE THIS WOULD GO IN THE
01:03:23:00	01:03:24:00	PROPOSAL.
01:03:24:00	01:03:27:00	BUT THE PROPOSED POLICY.
01:03:27:00	01:03:27:00	OH, DID HE?
01:03:27:00	01:03:34:00	I DIDN'T.

01:03:36:00	01:03:38:00	IT WOULD BE THE LAST SENTENCE
01:03:38:00	01:03:42:00	OF OF OF THE OF THE WRITTEN
01:03:42:00	01:03:43:00	DOCUMENT AND BASICALLY IT WOULD
01:03:43:00	01:03:49:00	BE YOU KNOW WOULD BE A ALMOST A
01:03:49:00	01:03:50:00	RECOMMENDATION FOR CITY
01:03:50:00	01:03:53:00	ADMINISTRATION TO INCLUDE THIS
01:03:53:00	01:03:57:00	AS WELL ENDS.
01:03:57:00	01:04:00:00	IT'S NOT IT'S NOT ME MANDATING
01:04:00:00	01:04:01:00	THAT THE CITY ADMINISTRATION
01:04:01:00	01:04:05:00	COMPLY WITH WHAT WE'RE
01:04:05:00	01:04:05:00	PROPOSING BUT IT'S BASICALLY A
01:04:05:00	01:04:08:00	RECOMMENDATION THAT WE THINK
01:04:08:00	01:04:11:00	THE ADMINISTRATION SHOULD NOT
01:04:11:00	01:04:15:00	GO FORWARD WITH ANY NDAS
01:04:15:00	01:04:16:00	BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT TRANSPARENT
01:04:16:00	01:04:19:00	AND THEY TAKE AWAY FROM THE
01:04:19:00	01:04:27:00	VOICES OF RESIDENTS IN THIS THE
01:04:27:00	01:04:28:00	THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION IN MY
01:04:28:00	01:04:31:00	OPINION SHOULD BE PUBLIC ALL
01:04:31:00	01:04:32:00	ENDS PRIOR ENDS AS WELL SHOULD
01:04:32:00	01:04:33:00	BE PUBLIC BUT PUBLIC.
01:04:33:00	01:04:38:00	BUT GOING FORWARD MY MY GOAL IS
01:04:38:00	01:04:41:00	TO ENSURE THAT NDAS HAVE NO
01:04:41:00	01:04:42:00	PLACE AT ALL IN CITY
01:04:42:00	01:04:42:00	GOVERNMENT.
01:04:42:00	01:04:46:00	THIS IS A RECOMMENDATION TO
01:04:46:00	01:04:46:00	CITY ADMINISTRATION THAT THEY
01:04:46:00	01:04:49:00	SHOULD FOLLOW FOLLOW THIS
01:04:49:00	01:04:52:00	RECOMMENDATION TO EXCLUDE ANY
01:04:52:00	01:04:56:00	NDAS GOING FORWARD.

01:05:14:00	01:05:18:00	OF YOU KNOW, CLEARLY STATE WHAT
01:05:18:00	01:05:21:00	WHERE WE STAND ON THIS ISSUE

01:05:22:00	01:05:25:00	WHAT WE DO THROUGH POLICIES.
01:05:25:00	01:05:26:00	I THINK WE REGULATE OTHER
01:05:26:00	01:05:30:00	ENTITIES THROUGH ORDINANCES.
01:05:30:00	01:05:30:00	YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE'S EVEN

01:05:48:00	01:05:49:00	DON'T HAVE LET'S SEE SO WE JUST
01:05:49:00	01:05:51:00	WOULD ADD THAT PHRASE TO THE
01:05:51:00	01:05:52:00	END OF THE FIRST SENTENCE
01:05:52:00	01:05:52:00	OF THE POLICY STATEMENT.

01:05:58:00	01:05:59:00	.
01:05:59:00	01:06:02:00	SO IT'S I THINK IT'S STRANGELY
01:06:02:00	01:06:09:00	WORDED YOU KNOW IF IT WAS IF IT
01:06:09:00	01:06:10:00	WAS SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES
01:06:10:00	01:06:13:00	OF BECAUSE IT'S LIKE WE'RE
01:06:13:00	01:06:13:00	PROMOTING PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN
01:06:13:00	01:06:16:00	THIS BODY AND WE'RE PROMOTING

01:06:17:00	01:06:17:00	AGREEMENTS CITYWIDE IT'S SORT

01:06:29:00	01:06:29:00	HAPPY TO JUST LET IT GO FORWARD
01:06:29:00	01:06:32:00	FOR A VOTE.
01:06:32:00	01:06:32:00	I DON'T HAVE STRONG FEELINGS

01:06:41:00	01:06:41:00	FLOOR.
01:06:41:00	01:06:42:00	YEAH.
01:06:42:00	01:06:44:00	THANK THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
01:06:44:00	01:06:48:00	I DO HAVE STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT
01:06:48:00	01:06:48:00	IT AND I THINK THE RESIDENTS
01:06:48:00	01:06:51:00	WANT US TO SEE NDAS EXCLUDED
01:06:51:00	01:06:55:00	CITYWIDE AND THEY DON'T LIKE
01:06:55:00	01:06:55:00	THE PRACTICE.
01:06:55:00	01:06:58:00	THEY THINK IT'S NOT TRANSPARENT
01:06:58:00	01:06:58:00	.
01:06:58:00	01:06:59:00	THEY THINK WE'RE HIDING
01:06:59:00	01:06:59:00	SOMETHING.
01:06:59:00	01:07:02:00	CITY CITY HALL IS HIDING
01:07:02:00	01:07:06:00	SOMETHING WHEN AN NDA IS
01:07:06:00	01:07:06:00	IMPLEMENTED, CITY DEPARTMENTS
01:07:06:00	01:07:09:00	ARE HIDING SOMETHING.
01:07:09:00	01:07:10:00	WHEN THERE'S AN NDA IT BRINGS
01:07:10:00	01:07:17:00	OUT MISTRUST AND IT BRINGS OUT
01:07:17:00	01:07:18:00	CONFUSION AND RUMORS BUT IT
01:07:18:00	01:07:25:00	ALSO I THINK HAVING NOT HAVING
01:07:25:00	01:07:26:00	NDAS ALSO IS A SIGN THAT
01:07:26:00	01:07:29:00	EVERYBODY'S CONDUCT IS GOING TO
01:07:29:00	01:07:30:00	AND THEIR BEHAVIOR WILL BE IN
01:07:30:00	01:07:33:00	THE PUBLIC AND YOU'LL BE HELD
01:07:33:00	01:07:37:00	ACCOUNTABLE AND YOU CAN'T BE
01:07:37:00	01:07:38:00	YOU CAN'T HIDE BEHIND IT AND
01:07:38:00	01:07:40:00	NDA TO PROTECT THE DEPARTMENT
01:07:40:00	01:07:44:00	YOU CAN'T HIDE BEHIND AN NDA TO
01:07:44:00	01:07:48:00	PROTECT THE CITY ADMINISTRATION
01:07:48:00	01:07:48:00	.
01:07:48:00	01:07:49:00	THIS IS ABOUT THE RESIDENTS
01:07:49:00	01:07:51:00	OF THE CITY.
01:07:51:00	01:07:55:00	THIS IS ABOUT TRANSPARENCY.
01:07:55:00	01:07:56:00	THIS IS ABOUT GOOD GOVERNMENT.
01:07:56:00	01:07:58:00	THIS IS ABOUT ETHICS AND
01:07:58:00	01:07:59:00	THERE'S THIS THERE'S REASONS
01:07:59:00	01:08:03:00	WHY NOT JUST FOR IT BUT THOSE
01:08:03:00	01:08:04:00	ARE THE REASONS TO SUPPORT IT.
01:08:04:00	01:08:07:00	I GAVE I GAVE MY REASONS WHY I
01:08:07:00	01:08:10:00	DON'T BELIEVE IN NDAS BECAUSE
01:08:10:00	01:08:14:00	THEY'RE NOT TRANSPARENT AND
01:08:14:00	01:08:17:00	PEOPLE WANT TO SEE US OPERATING
01:08:17:00	01:08:21:00	IN OPEN, OPEN PUBLIC AND BEFORE
01:08:21:00	01:08:22:00	BEFORE RESIDENTS AND BEING HELD
01:08:22:00	01:08:22:00	ACCOUNTABLE.
01:08:22:00	01:08:26:00	THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE NDAS IN
01:08:26:00	01:08:29:00	MY OPINION AND I'VE TALKED TO A
01:08:29:00	01:08:30:00	LOT OF PEOPLE OVER THE LAST
01:08:30:00	01:08:30:00	SEVERAL WEEKS AND THEY'VE SAID
01:08:30:00	01:08:34:00	TO ME IF WE BELIEVE NDAS AND
01:08:34:00	01:08:38:00	NOT A NOT GOOD FOR THE CITY,
01:08:38:00	01:08:38:00	THEY'RE NOT GOOD FOR THE
01:08:38:00	01:08:41:00	RESIDENTS IN WHY ARE YOU GUYS
01:08:41:00	01:08:42:00	WHY DO YOU GUYS HAVE NDAS?
01:08:42:00	01:08:43:00	SO YOU GUYS HIDE IN SOMETHING
01:08:43:00	01:08:45:00	AND I SAID NO BUT I THINK YOU
01:08:45:00	01:08:49:00	ARE RIGHT HAVING NDAS DOES
01:08:49:00	01:08:49:00	BRING OUT THE WORST IN CITY

01:09:08:00	01:09:09:00	MESSAGE FOR RESIDENTS THAT WE
01:09:09:00	01:09:11:00	TAKE TRANSPARENCY AND WE TAKE

01:09:59:00	01:10:02:00	GET RID OF THEM FINE.
01:10:02:00	01:10:03:00	I AGREE WITH YOU 100%.
01:10:03:00	01:10:05:00	THE QUESTION THOUGH HERE IS
01:10:05:00	01:10:06:00	SUCH AGREEMENT CITYWIDE KIND
01:10:06:00	01:10:09:00	OF GENERAL KIND OF YOU KNOW,
01:10:09:00	01:10:09:00	OPEN SO CITY WIDE COULD INCLUDE
01:10:09:00	01:10:13:00	NON-GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES AS
01:10:13:00	01:10:13:00	WELL.
01:10:13:00	01:10:14:00	SO LIKE THE LANGUAGE SHOULD BE
01:10:14:00	01:10:17:00	SPECIFIC.
01:10:17:00	01:10:18:00	AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION IS
01:10:18:00	01:10:21:00	THEN IF IT'S THIS IF THIS IS A
01:10:21:00	01:10:22:00	POLICY TO CHANGE OUR RULES,
01:10:22:00	01:10:25:00	THEN LAWS DON'T BELONG IN HERE
01:10:25:00	01:10:25:00	.
01:10:25:00	01:10:26:00	AND SO IF WE'RE IF WE ARE
01:10:26:00	01:10:28:00	TRYING TO LEGISLATE A LAW FOR
01:10:28:00	01:10:29:00	CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT IS THE
01:10:29:00	01:10:33:00	ONLY WAY OR MEDIUM THAT WE CAN
01:10:33:00	01:10:34:00	USE TO TELL CITY DEPARTMENTS
01:10:34:00	01:10:37:00	WHAT TO DO SO THAT I THINK IT'S
01:10:37:00	01:10:37:00	A GREAT IDEA FOR YOU TO FILE
01:10:37:00	01:10:40:00	THE HOME RULE PETITION AND
01:10:40:00	01:10:40:00	INCLUDE THAT BUT SPECIFICALLY
01:10:40:00	01:10:44:00	TO THE RULES IN THIS POLICY WE
01:10:44:00	01:10:47:00	CAN ONLY TELL OURSELVES TO
01:10:47:00	01:10:48:00	CHANGE THOSE RULES.
01:10:48:00	01:10:48:00	YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
01:10:48:00	01:10:51:00	SO LIKE MAYBE I'M NOT SURE IF
01:10:51:00	01:10:52:00	AGAIN CITYWIDE FEELS TOO
01:10:52:00	01:10:55:00	GENERAL, TOO VAGUE AND SPECIFIC
01:10:55:00	01:10:55:00	SPECIFYING CITY DEPARTMENTS AND
01:10:55:00	01:10:59:00	THEN DOING THAT IN THE HOME
01:10:59:00	01:10:59:00	RULE PETITION AND I'M HAPPY TO
01:10:59:00	01:10:59:00	SUPPORT IT.
01:10:59:00	01:11:00:00	THANK YOU.
01:11:00:00	01:11:03:00	THANK YOU.
01:11:03:00	01:11:03:00	CONSUL FERNANDES SANDERSON,
01:11:03:00	01:11:06:00	COUNCILOR WEBER YEAH, THANK
01:11:06:00	01:11:06:00	YOU.
01:11:06:00	01:11:07:00	I MEAN I.
01:11:07:00	01:11:10:00	I JUST I THINK MY COLLEAGUE
01:11:10:00	01:11:12:00	FROM DISTRICT SEVEN HIGHLIGHTED
01:11:12:00	01:11:13:00	JUST THE ISSUE WITH WITHOUT YOU
01:11:13:00	01:11:16:00	KNOW, DOING A HEARING ON THIS
01:11:16:00	01:11:17:00	EVEN KNOWING WHETHER THERE ARE
01:11:17:00	01:11:19:00	THESE AGREEMENTS IN CITY
01:11:19:00	01:11:20:00	GOVERNMENT AND THEN THE FACT
01:11:20:00	01:11:23:00	THAT THERE MIGHT BE GOOD
01:11:23:00	01:11:24:00	REASONS LIKE IF WE HIRE A
01:11:24:00	01:11:27:00	VENDOR WHO HAS ACCESS TO
01:11:27:00	01:11:27:00	PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR PEOPLE
01:11:27:00	01:11:28:00	WE DON'T WANT THEM DISCLOSING
01:11:28:00	01:11:30:00	THAT INFORMATION.
01:11:30:00	01:11:31:00	WE MAKE THEM FILE YOU KNOW,
01:11:31:00	01:11:32:00	SIGN A NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT
01:11:32:00	01:11:34:00	OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT.
01:11:34:00	01:11:38:00	I MEAN THE ISSUE I THINK IS FOR
01:11:38:00	01:11:39:00	US TO SHOW THAT WE CARE ABOUT
01:11:39:00	01:11:42:00	TRANSPARENCY ON THIS BODY AND
01:11:42:00	01:11:43:00	WE WANT TO EMPOWER OUR
01:11:43:00	01:11:43:00	STAFFERS.
01:11:43:00	01:11:46:00	I THINK THE POLICY DOES THAT
01:11:46:00	01:11:46:00	YOU KNOW, I'M PREPARED TO VOTE
01:11:46:00	01:11:49:00	FOR THE LANGUAGE.
01:11:49:00	01:11:50:00	I JUST YOU KNOW, WITHOUT HAVING
01:11:50:00	01:11:53:00	DONE THE GROUNDWORK, I'M NOT
01:11:53:00	01:11:53:00	YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WE DON'T
01:11:53:00	01:11:57:00	EVEN KNOW IF THEY'RE THERE BUT
01:11:57:00	01:11:58:00	WE CAN CERTAINLY PROMOTE THE
01:11:58:00	01:12:01:00	REMOVAL OF THEM WHERE THEY'RE
01:12:01:00	01:12:01:00	BEING USED IN THIS WAY WHERE
01:12:01:00	01:12:04:00	PEOPLE AREN'T ALLOWED TO WORK
01:12:04:00	01:12:05:00	ON THE CITY YOU KNOW, FOR THE
01:12:05:00	01:12:08:00	CITY UNLESS THEY SIGN THIS.
01:12:08:00	01:12:09:00	BUT AGAIN, THERE MAY BE
01:12:09:00	01:12:09:00	LEGITIMATE PURPOSES FOR THEM IN
01:12:09:00	01:12:12:00	SOME PLACES.
01:12:12:00	01:12:12:00	I'M NOT SAYING THEY'RE ALWAYS,
01:12:12:00	01:12:16:00	YOU KNOW, BAD POLICY BUT
01:12:16:00	01:12:16:00	CERTAINLY IN WHERE ELECTED
01:12:16:00	01:12:20:00	OFFICIALS ARE HIRING STAFFERS
01:12:20:00	01:12:21:00	YOU KNOW, I I STAND BY THE
01:12:21:00	01:12:24:00	POLICY AND I'M FINE TO VOTE FOR
01:12:24:00	01:12:25:00	THIS LANGUAGE BUT WE'LL SEE HOW
01:12:25:00	01:12:27:00	IT PLAYS OUT.
01:12:27:00	01:12:28:00	THANK YOU, COUNCILOR WEBER.
01:12:28:00	01:12:31:00	COUNCILOR MEJIA YOU HAVE THE
01:12:31:00	01:12:31:00	FLOOR.
01:12:31:00	01:12:35:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
01:12:35:00	01:12:35:00	AND I JUST WANT TO THANK MY
01:12:35:00	01:12:36:00	COLLEAGUES FOR THEIR WORK IN
01:12:36:00	01:12:38:00	THIS SPACE.
01:12:38:00	01:12:39:00	AS I SAID LAST TIME AROUND WHEN
01:12:39:00	01:12:42:00	WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE
01:12:42:00	01:12:46:00	BULLYING POLICY AND I ALSO
01:12:46:00	01:12:47:00	BROUGHT THIS UP DURING THE
01:12:47:00	01:12:47:00	WORKING SESSION THAT WE HAD IS
01:12:47:00	01:12:50:00	THAT AS WE CONTINUE TO
01:12:50:00	01:12:51:00	IMPLEMENT THINGS I JUST WANT TO
01:12:51:00	01:12:54:00	BE SUPER MINDFUL AROUND THE
01:12:54:00	01:12:54:00	CULTURAL COMPETENCY PIECE
01:12:54:00	01:12:57:00	OF THIS WORK BECAUSE SOMETIMES
01:12:57:00	01:13:01:00	PEOPLE MAY WANT TO TARGET YOUR
01:13:01:00	01:13:02:00	DEMEANOR AND THE WAY YOU
01:13:02:00	01:13:05:00	EXPRESS YOURSELF AND THAT THAT
01:13:05:00	01:13:06:00	CAN BE CONSIDERED JUST BECAUSE
01:13:06:00	01:13:06:00	I'M AGGRESSIVE AND I'M
01:13:06:00	01:13:09:00	ASSERTIVE AND I'M SPICY AND
01:13:09:00	01:13:10:00	SOMETIMES A LITTLE BIT TOO
01:13:10:00	01:13:12:00	SAUCY FOR PEOPLE'S APPETITE
01:13:12:00	01:13:16:00	THAT MY DEMEANOR MAY FEEL A
01:13:16:00	01:13:19:00	LITTLE BIT UNCOMFORTABLE FOR
01:13:19:00	01:13:20:00	SOME AND I JUST DON'T EVER WANT
01:13:20:00	01:13:22:00	TO PUT MYSELF IN A SITUATION
01:13:22:00	01:13:23:00	FOR UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
01:13:23:00	01:13:26:00	AROUND PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT OR
01:13:26:00	01:13:27:00	ETHICAL CONDUCT BECAUSE OF THE
01:13:27:00	01:13:28:00	WAY I SHOW UP IN THIS WORLD AND
01:13:28:00	01:13:31:00	I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
01:13:31:00	01:13:32:00	IF WERE AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE
01:13:32:00	01:13:35:00	THROUGH THESE CONVERSATIONS
01:13:35:00	01:13:35:00	THAT WE DON'T HAVE UNINTENDED
01:13:35:00	01:13:38:00	CONSEQUENCES BECAUSE I THINK
01:13:38:00	01:13:41:00	THAT SOMETIMES WE CAN UTILIZE
01:13:41:00	01:13:46:00	TOOLS TO JUST OPPRESS PEOPLE
01:13:46:00	01:13:46:00	FROM BEING FULLY EXPRESSED.
01:13:46:00	01:13:50:00	I THINK THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT I
01:13:50:00	01:13:50:00	BROUGHT TO COUNCILOR WEBER
01:13:50:00	01:13:54:00	DURING THE WORKING SESSION THAT
01:13:54:00	01:13:54:00	WE'RE ADDING WORDS THAT COULD
01:13:54:00	01:13:58:00	BE MISCONSTRUED AND IN THE
01:13:58:00	01:13:58:00	CULTURE IN THE CLIMATE THAT WE
01:13:58:00	01:14:00:00	HAPPEN TO BE IN I JUST WANT TO
01:14:00:00	01:14:02:00	MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS NOT
01:14:02:00	01:14:03:00	GOING TO BE A TOOL THAT GETS
01:14:03:00	01:14:06:00	USED TO TRY TO TONE OR POLICE
01:14:06:00	01:14:09:00	TONE ANYONE IN THIS CHAMBER OR
01:14:09:00	01:14:10:00	ANY SPACE THAT WE HAPPEN TO BE
01:14:10:00	01:14:10:00	IN.
01:14:10:00	01:14:12:00	SO WHILE THIS IS SPECIFICALLY
01:14:12:00	01:14:16:00	ABOUT STAFF AND I WAS TOLD THAT
01:14:16:00	01:14:17:00	THAT THEY WOULDN'T YOU ALL AS
01:14:17:00	01:14:20:00	COLLEAGUES WOULD NOT USE IT
01:14:20:00	01:14:21:00	AGAINST COLLEAGUE TO COLLEAGUE
01:14:21:00	01:14:24:00	I JUST WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR THE
01:14:24:00	01:14:25:00	RECORD THAT THAT IS WHAT I'M
01:14:25:00	01:14:28:00	SIGNING UP FOR BECAUSE I AM NOT
01:14:28:00	01:14:28:00	GOING TO STOP SPEAKING THE WAY
01:14:28:00	01:14:32:00	THAT I DO SHOWING UP THE WAY
01:14:32:00	01:14:32:00	THAT I DO AND FIGHTING THE WAY
01:14:32:00	01:14:33:00	THAT I DO BECAUSE THAT IS THE
01:14:33:00	01:14:36:00	WAY I'VE LEARNED HOW TO SHOW UP
01:14:36:00	01:14:36:00	IN THIS WORLD.
01:14:36:00	01:14:37:00	AND FOR THOSE FOLKS WHO DO
01:14:37:00	01:14:40:00	FOLLOW ME, I WANT TO MAKE SURE
01:14:40:00	01:14:41:00	THAT THEY KNOW THAT THEY CAN BE
01:14:41:00	01:14:43:00	THEMSELVES NO MATTER WHAT
01:14:43:00	01:14:43:00	ENVIRONMENT THAT THEY'RE IN.
01:14:43:00	01:14:47:00	AND SO I JUST DON'T WANT TO GET
01:14:47:00	01:14:47:00	INTO THE CULTURE OR TO THE
01:14:47:00	01:14:48:00	HABIT OF MINIMIZING OR TONE
01:14:48:00	01:14:51:00	POLICING ANYONE PARTICULARLY IN
01:14:51:00	01:14:51:00	THIS CLIMATE THAT WE HAPPEN TO
01:14:51:00	01:14:55:00	BE IN TODAY.
01:14:55:00	01:14:55:00	THANK YOU CONSTANTLY HERE
01:14:55:00	01:14:56:00	CONSTANTLY AND YOU HAVE THE
01:14:56:00	01:14:58:00	FLOOR YET.
01:14:58:00	01:14:58:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
01:14:58:00	01:15:01:00	AND I RESPECT MY COLLEAGUES AND
01:15:01:00	01:15:05:00	THEIR OPINIONS AND ONE OF THE
01:15:05:00	01:15:06:00	ONE OF THE CONCERNS IS DO WE
01:15:06:00	01:15:08:00	REALLY WANT TO BE TELLING THE
01:15:08:00	01:15:12:00	ADMINISTRATION WHAT TO DO OR
01:15:12:00	01:15:12:00	RECOMMENDING TO THE
01:15:12:00	01:15:13:00	ADMINISTRATION WHAT TO DO AND
01:15:13:00	01:15:16:00	THAT'S THAT'S A FAIR QUESTION.
01:15:16:00	01:15:17:00	THAT'S A FAIR CRITIQUE OF MY
01:15:17:00	01:15:23:00	PROPOSAL AND IN I RESPECT THAT
01:15:23:00	01:15:27:00	AND MY ANSWER TO THAT IS MY
01:15:27:00	01:15:28:00	ANSWER TO THAT IS WE DO THAT
01:15:28:00	01:15:31:00	ALL THE TIME ABOUT FEDERAL
01:15:31:00	01:15:32:00	ISSUES.
01:15:32:00	01:15:35:00	WE WEIGH IN ON FEDERAL ISSUES.
01:15:35:00	01:15:36:00	WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW IN
01:15:36:00	01:15:39:00	WASHINGTON, D.C. WE WEIGH IN ON
01:15:39:00	01:15:39:00	THAT.
01:15:39:00	01:15:43:00	WE HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT CUTS
01:15:43:00	01:15:43:00	TO VARIOUS PROGRAMS AND
01:15:43:00	01:15:46:00	SERVICES, HOW IT IMPACTS HOW IT
01:15:46:00	01:15:47:00	IMPACTS BOSTON.
01:15:47:00	01:15:50:00	WE WEIGH IN SPECIFICALLY ON
01:15:50:00	01:15:51:00	STATE LEGISLATION ALL THE TIME
01:15:51:00	01:15:54:00	AND THE IMPACT IT COULD HAVE ON
01:15:54:00	01:15:58:00	BOSTON ON FEDERAL ISSUES.
01:15:58:00	01:16:04:00	IT'S UNLIKELY THAT IT'S OUR
01:16:04:00	01:16:04:00	WRITTEN DOCUMENT.
01:16:04:00	01:16:08:00	OUR RESOLUTION HAS ANY HAS ANY
01:16:08:00	01:16:12:00	WEIGHT TO IT AND THAT MIGHT BE
01:16:12:00	01:16:13:00	TRUE BUT IT SAYS THAT BOSTON
01:16:13:00	01:16:16:00	RESIDENTS THAT THIS ISSUE
01:16:16:00	01:16:19:00	WHATEVER WHATEVER ISSUE IT IS
01:16:19:00	01:16:20:00	THAT THIS IS OUR POLICY, THIS
01:16:20:00	01:16:24:00	IS OUR THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE
01:16:24:00	01:16:27:00	IN IN WHAT HAPPENS WHAT HAPPENS
01:16:27:00	01:16:28:00	IN D.C. WE WANT TO WEIGH IN
01:16:28:00	01:16:31:00	WITH A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OR
01:16:31:00	01:16:31:00	AGAINST SOMETHING BECAUSE WE
01:16:31:00	01:16:35:00	FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT WHAT
01:16:35:00	01:16:35:00	IS HAPPENING.
01:16:35:00	01:16:39:00	IT MAY NOT HAVE ANY WEIGHT TO
01:16:39:00	01:16:40:00	IT BUT WE WE FEEL STRONGLY
01:16:40:00	01:16:45:00	ABOUT IT AS IT RELATES TO THIS
01:16:45:00	01:16:46:00	THIS CHANGE.
01:16:46:00	01:16:50:00	MY RECOMMENDATION IT MAY NOT
01:16:50:00	01:16:54:00	HAVE ANY WEIGHT TO IT BUT WHAT
01:16:54:00	01:16:54:00	IT DOES SAY IS THAT WE
01:16:54:00	01:16:55:00	RECOMMEND TO THE CITY
01:16:55:00	01:16:58:00	ADMINISTRATION THAT THEY ALSO
01:16:58:00	01:17:02:00	SHOULD EXCLUDE NDAS GOING
01:17:02:00	01:17:03:00	FORWARD WHETHER IT'D BE PEACE,
01:17:03:00	01:17:06:00	WHETHER IT'S AT ANY OTHER CITY
01:17:06:00	01:17:06:00	DEPARTMENT.
01:17:06:00	01:17:10:00	SO CERTAINLY IT CAN BE IGNORED
01:17:10:00	01:17:10:00	BUT IT'S A VALUE STATEMENT.
01:17:10:00	01:17:14:00	IT'S A VALUE STATEMENT ON WHAT
01:17:14:00	01:17:15:00	WE BELIEVE IN AND I THINK A LOT
01:17:15:00	01:17:18:00	OF RESOLUTIONS THAT WE FILE
01:17:18:00	01:17:18:00	HERE IN THE CITY
01:17:18:00	01:17:22:00	COUNCIL OFTENTIMES ARE NOT
01:17:22:00	01:17:23:00	RELATED TO CITY ISSUES BUT WE
01:17:23:00	01:17:26:00	STILL FILE THEM BECAUSE THE
01:17:26:00	01:17:28:00	VALUE STATE STATES THIS ONE HAS
01:17:28:00	01:17:32:00	A MAJOR IMPACT ON ON CITY
01:17:32:00	01:17:32:00	GOVERNMENT AND I THINK IT'S
01:17:32:00	01:17:36:00	APPROPRIATE THAT WE WEIGH IN.
01:17:36:00	01:17:36:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
01:17:36:00	01:17:36:00	THANK YOU.
01:17:36:00	01:17:39:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN,

01:23:23:00	01:23:24:00	DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING ON AN
01:23:24:00	01:23:27:00	OFFICIAL PUBLIC JUST BECAUSE

01:23:28:00	01:23:28:00	CLIMATE AND CULTURE IN THIS

01:23:34:00	01:23:35:00	ASSERTION OF SOME OF THE HOW
01:23:35:00	01:23:39:00	UNCOMFORTABLE AND HOW SOMETIMES
01:23:39:00	01:23:39:00	UNSAFE IT IS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE

01:23:48:00	01:23:50:00	CONSEQUENCES.
01:23:50:00	01:23:51:00	WHEN YOU ALL ARE FEELING THAT I
01:23:51:00	01:23:52:00	AM BEING A LITTLE BIT OR

01:24:06:00	01:24:06:00	LET ME FINISH MY THOUGHT.
01:24:06:00	01:24:07:00	I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
01:24:07:00	01:24:09:00	NOT CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT IN
01:24:09:00	01:24:10:00	THIS PARTICULAR BODY WHERE
01:24:10:00	01:24:14:00	PEOPLE ARE YOU KNOW, ARE
01:24:14:00	01:24:14:00	APPROVING POLICIES THAT THEY

01:24:15:00	01:24:17:00	IN THE FUTURE.
01:24:17:00	01:24:18:00	SO OUT OF MY OWN SAFETY AND FOR
01:24:18:00	01:24:21:00	MY OWN CONCERN, I JUST WANT TO
01:24:21:00	01:24:22:00	MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER I
01:24:22:00	01:24:25:00	SIGNED UP FOR I KNOW EXACTLY
01:24:25:00	01:24:26:00	HOW IT'S GOING TO GET
01:24:26:00	01:24:26:00	IMPLEMENTED.

01:24:44:00	01:24:45:00	I THINK AS WEBER STATED IT,
01:24:45:00	01:24:46:00	THIS IS ABOUT AGREEMENTS
01:24:46:00	01:24:48:00	BETWEEN US AS EMPLOYERS AND

01:24:48:00	01:24:51:00	IT'S JUST THAT RELATIONSHIP.
01:24:51:00	01:24:52:00	I THINK THE QUESTION THAT YOU
01:24:52:00	01:24:55:00	HAVE REGARDING SHOWING UP IS
01:24:55:00	01:24:56:00	MORE ABOUT THE BULLYING POLICY

01:25:00:00	01:25:01:00	CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS.
01:25:01:00	01:25:03:00	SO BASED ON THE WORDING OF THIS

01:25:22:00	01:25:23:00	ADDITION TO THE POLICY WHICH

01:25:26:00	01:25:27:00	WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
01:25:27:00	01:25:27:00	ALL CLEAR BECAUSE THERE'S
01:25:27:00	01:25:30:00	CULTURAL COMPETENCY, THERE IS

01:28:43:00	01:28:44:00	THAT QUESTION ONTO THE RECORD
01:28:44:00	01:28:47:00	AND I DO BELIEVE THAT US AS A
01:28:47:00	01:28:48:00	BODY SHOULD COME TOGETHER AGAIN
01:28:48:00	01:28:48:00	BEFORE THEN TO REALLY
01:28:48:00	01:28:52:00	UNDERSTAND WHAT A NO VOTE TO
01:28:52:00	01:28:54:00	THE BUDGET MEANS AND WHAT A ONE
01:28:54:00	01:28:55:00	FOURTH BUDGET WOULD MEAN TO THE
01:28:55:00	01:28:58:00	CITY AND TO OUR STUDENTS.

01:29:02:00	01:29:05:00	THE BUDGET AND I'VE ALWAYS
01:29:05:00	01:29:06:00	GIVEN MY REASONS WHY AND WE
01:29:06:00	01:29:09:00	HAVE SAID IN THAT MEETING IT
01:29:09:00	01:29:10:00	WAS CLEAR THAT WE MAY FOR THE

01:29:21:00	01:29:24:00	AND OUR FAMILIES HAVE AND THE
01:29:24:00	01:29:25:00	UPCOMING BUDGET AND IF WE DO

01:31:42:00	01:31:43:00	I CRINGE AT THE THOUGHT OF THAT
01:31:43:00	01:31:45:00	PHONE CALL.

01:32:16:00	01:32:19:00	REACTIVE RATHER THAN PROACTIVE

01:32:43:00	01:32:45:00	ACCOUNTABILITY TO OUR DRIVERS

01:32:53:00	01:32:56:00	THANK YOU TO THE MAKERS AND IN
01:32:56:00	01:32:57:00	SUPPORT OF THIS.
01:32:57:00	01:32:58:00	BUT I DO JUST WANT TO RISE TO
01:32:58:00	01:33:00:00	SAY IT'S DISCOURAGING THAT WE
01:33:00:00	01:33:03:00	HAVE TO KEEP ADDING MORE LAYERS
01:33:03:00	01:33:04:00	OF GOVERNMENT WHEN WE COULD
01:33:04:00	01:33:08:00	LEAN ON AND IMPLEMENT THE RULES
01:33:08:00	01:33:09:00	AND LAWS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE
01:33:09:00	01:33:09:00	IN PLACE.
01:33:09:00	01:33:12:00	SO I DO JUST MANY TIMES IN
01:33:12:00	01:33:12:00	THESE PAST THREE YEARS I'VE
01:33:12:00	01:33:13:00	BEEN ON THE COUNCIL WE'RE
01:33:13:00	01:33:16:00	PASSING ORDINANCES OR FILING
01:33:16:00	01:33:19:00	FOR NEW RULES IN THE CITY WHEN
01:33:19:00	01:33:20:00	WE ALREADY KNOW THAT THERE'S
01:33:20:00	01:33:23:00	LAWS THAT COULD ALREADY
01:33:23:00	01:33:24:00	IMPLEMENT AND KEEP OUR STUDENTS
01:33:24:00	01:33:24:00	SAFE.
01:33:24:00	01:33:24:00	ARE OUR CHILDREN SAFE?
01:33:24:00	01:33:27:00	SO IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT WE
01:33:27:00	01:33:28:00	NEED THIS.
01:33:28:00	01:33:31:00	SO I WILL OBVIOUSLY BE
01:33:31:00	01:33:32:00	SUPPORTIVE OF IT IF IT KEEPS
01:33:32:00	01:33:35:00	AND HELPS OUR CHILDREN STAY
01:33:35:00	01:33:35:00	SAFE.
01:33:35:00	01:33:36:00	BUT I DO JUST WANT TO FLAG THAT
01:33:36:00	01:33:38:00	THERE ARE RULES AND IT COULD GO
01:33:38:00	01:33:39:00	TO WHICH A HEARING ORDER THAT I
01:33:39:00	01:33:43:00	FILED LATER ON IN THE MEETING
01:33:43:00	01:33:43:00	ABOUT THE LACK OF POLICE
01:33:43:00	01:33:47:00	STAFFING SO WE COULD BE JUST
01:33:47:00	01:33:49:00	NOT ABLE TO HAVE ENOUGH POLICE
01:33:49:00	01:33:50:00	GIVING OUT THE TICKETS THAT ARE
01:33:50:00	01:33:50:00	NECESSARY.
01:33:50:00	01:33:54:00	BUT IF SOMEONE'S SPEEDING
01:33:54:00	01:33:54:00	THROUGH A STOP SIGN OR DRIVING
01:33:54:00	01:33:55:00	AROUND A BUS THEY SHOULD
01:33:55:00	01:33:58:00	AUTOMATICALLY BE PULLED OVER
01:33:58:00	01:33:58:00	AND TICKETED.
01:33:58:00	01:34:02:00	AND SO IF THIS ADDS SAFETY I'M
01:34:02:00	01:34:03:00	FOR IT BUT JUST WANTED TO PUT
01:34:03:00	01:34:03:00	THAT OUT THERE THAT AS WE
01:34:03:00	01:34:05:00	CONTINUE TO JUST ADD MORE
01:34:05:00	01:34:06:00	LAYERS TO GOVERNMENT, I DON'T
01:34:06:00	01:34:09:00	THINK THAT HELPS THE RESIDENTS
01:34:09:00	01:34:10:00	THINK DO IT.
01:34:10:00	01:34:11:00	ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK ON
01:34:11:00	01:34:14:00	THIS MATTER?

01:34:49:00	01:34:52:00	I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY LAST YEAR

01:34:56:00	01:34:59:00	I'M OVER IN DISTRICT SEVEN AND
01:34:59:00	01:35:00:00	ALTHOUGH THEY'RE DOING AMAZING
01:35:00:00	01:35:03:00	WORK AND HAVE A GREAT TEAM,
01:35:03:00	01:35:03:00	SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY EVIDENT
01:35:03:00	01:35:07:00	WAS THE FACILITY AND THE
01:35:07:00	01:35:08:00	CONDITIONS AND RIGHT NOW I KNOW
01:35:08:00	01:35:12:00	MY COLLEAGUES COUNCILOR MURPHY

01:35:19:00	01:35:22:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON.
01:35:22:00	01:35:22:00	AND I THINK THE LACK OF A
01:35:22:00	01:35:25:00	PROPER FUNCTIONING FACILITY FOR
01:35:25:00	01:35:26:00	OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TEAM

01:35:37:00	01:35:40:00	SOLUTIONS.

01:36:07:00	01:36:10:00	DISASTERS, OUTAGES, TERRORISM,
01:36:10:00	01:36:10:00	CYBER SECURITY ATTACKS, PUBLIC
01:36:10:00	01:36:14:00	HEALTH EMERGENCIES AND YOU
01:36:14:00	01:36:14:00	KNOW, SOME OF THESE EMERGENCIES
01:36:14:00	01:36:18:00	WILL REQUIRE YOU KNOW, MULTIPLE
01:36:18:00	01:36:19:00	DEPARTMENTS TO BE ABLE TO GET

01:36:41:00	01:36:41:00	APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENTS AND
01:36:41:00	01:36:44:00	PERSONNEL ABOUT THE POSSIBLE
01:36:44:00	01:36:48:00	SOLUTIONS I THINK WE SHOULD
01:36:48:00	01:36:51:00	EXPLORE, YOU KNOW, POTENTIALLY
01:36:51:00	01:36:54:00	LOOKING AT ALL FIRE STATIONS OR
01:36:54:00	01:36:58:00	AS WE'RE RENOVATING A OTHER
01:36:58:00	01:36:59:00	FACILITIES TO BE ABLE TO JUST
01:36:59:00	01:36:59:00	BE CREATIVE.
01:36:59:00	01:37:01:00	WE CAN ALSO LOOK AT PRIVATE
01:37:01:00	01:37:02:00	PARTNERSHIPS WITH THIS THE
01:37:02:00	01:37:06:00	OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

01:37:06:00	01:37:10:00	GRANTS JUST FOR THEIR PERSONNEL
01:37:10:00	01:37:11:00	AND SO WE SHOULD JUST BE

01:39:25:00	01:39:29:00	OF THE ART EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
01:39:29:00	01:39:29:00	FACILITY.
01:39:29:00	01:39:33:00	I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT
01:39:33:00	01:39:33:00	THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
01:39:33:00	01:39:36:00	FACILITY WITH COUNSELOR SANTANA
01:39:36:00	01:39:41:00	AND OTHERS RECENTLY IN OVER THE
01:39:41:00	01:39:42:00	YEARS AND WHAT WHAT I CAN SAY
01:39:42:00	01:39:45:00	IS THE PERSONNEL THERE DO A
01:39:45:00	01:39:45:00	TREMENDOUS JOB.
01:39:45:00	01:39:48:00	THEY ARE PROFESSIONAL.
01:39:48:00	01:39:52:00	HOWEVER, THE FACILITY ITSELF IS
01:39:52:00	01:39:52:00	CLEARLY NOT HELPFUL.
01:39:52:00	01:39:53:00	IT'S NOT USEFUL.
01:39:53:00	01:39:56:00	IT'S OLD IT'S OBSOLETE IN MY
01:39:56:00	01:39:56:00	OPINION.

01:40:00:00	01:40:00:00	OF ISSUES MY ENTIRE LIFE

01:40:15:00	01:40:18:00	DESERVES A STATE OF THE ART
01:40:18:00	01:40:19:00	FIRE HEADQUARTERS AS WELL.
01:40:19:00	01:40:23:00	THE FIRE HEADQUARTERS THAT WE
01:40:23:00	01:40:26:00	CURRENTLY HAVE IN MY OPINION IS
01:40:26:00	01:40:30:00	OLD IS OBSOLETE, IS RUN DOWN IS
01:40:30:00	01:40:33:00	AN EMBARRASSMENT.
01:40:33:00	01:40:34:00	BOSTON SHOULD HAVE A STATE
01:40:34:00	01:40:37:00	OF THE ART FIRE HEADQUARTERS.
01:40:37:00	01:40:38:00	BOSTON SHOULD HAVE A STATE
01:40:38:00	01:40:41:00	OF THE ART EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

01:45:54:00	01:45:55:00	IMPORTANT THAT WE'RE DOING DUE
01:45:55:00	01:45:58:00	DILIGENCE ON ENSURING THAT WE
01:45:58:00	01:45:59:00	GET THAT WE ARE DOING BEST
01:45:59:00	01:45:59:00	PRACTICES IN GETTING THESE
01:45:59:00	01:46:02:00	GRANTS AND ALSO HOW WE'RE
01:46:02:00	01:46:06:00	MONITORING THE HOW THE

01:46:06:00	01:46:09:00	BEEN EXPENDED AND THEN ALSO
01:46:09:00	01:46:09:00	LOOKING AT OUTCOMES.
01:46:09:00	01:46:10:00	SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THE
01:46:10:00	01:46:13:00	OPPORTUNITY TO TALK MORE MORE
01:46:13:00	01:46:16:00	AT A DEEPER LEVEL WITH FOLKS

01:46:25:00	01:46:25:00	IT'S REALLY IT'S REALLY NOT
01:46:25:00	01:46:28:00	GOOD.

01:48:03:00	01:48:04:00	IS ACCURATE AND THAT MONEY IS
01:48:04:00	01:48:08:00	USED AS A REGIONAL APPROACH IN
01:48:08:00	01:48:12:00	SUPPORTING PUBLIC SAFETY
01:48:12:00	01:48:12:00	AGENCIES THROUGHOUT GREATER
01:48:12:00	01:48:16:00	BOSTON THAT OFTEN BORDER BOSTON
01:48:16:00	01:48:20:00	WHETHER IT'S SOMERVILLE OR
01:48:20:00	01:48:23:00	CAMBRIDGE OR QUINCY OR CHELSEA
01:48:23:00	01:48:26:00	OR OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS NEWTON
01:48:26:00	01:48:30:00	OBVIOUSLY WHAT HAPPENS IN
01:48:30:00	01:48:31:00	CHELSEA HAS AN IMPACT ON EAST
01:48:31:00	01:48:34:00	BOSTON VICE VERSA.
01:48:34:00	01:48:35:00	WHAT HAPPENS IN NEWTON HAS AN
01:48:35:00	01:48:38:00	IMPACT ON BRIGHTON.
01:48:38:00	01:48:39:00	SO THESE FUNDS, THESE FEDERAL
01:48:39:00	01:48:42:00	FUNDS ARE CRITICAL FOR OUR

01:48:50:00	01:48:53:00	ON THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE.
01:48:53:00	01:48:54:00	HOMELAND SECURITY RELATED
01:48:54:00	01:48:57:00	ISSUES ARE INCLUDED BUT BOSTON
01:48:57:00	01:49:00:00	IS BASICALLY THE FISCAL AGENT
01:49:00:00	01:49:01:00	AND WE DISTRIBUTE WE RECEIVE
01:49:01:00	01:49:02:00	THE MONEY AND THEN WE KIND
01:49:02:00	01:49:06:00	OF DISTRIBUTE THE MONEY
01:49:06:00	01:49:09:00	APPROPRIATELY.
01:49:09:00	01:49:10:00	SO GOING FORWARD IT IS
01:49:10:00	01:49:12:00	IMPORTANT FOR US TO HAVE
01:49:12:00	01:49:16:00	HEARINGS ON THIS BUT ALSO TO
01:49:16:00	01:49:17:00	ACCEPT THE MONEY BECAUSE OTHER
01:49:17:00	01:49:20:00	CITIES AND TOWNS ARE FOR BOSTON
01:49:20:00	01:49:24:00	TO ACCEPT THAT MONEY SO ADDING
01:49:24:00	01:49:24:00	DELAYS IN RECEIVING THIS MONEY
01:49:24:00	01:49:27:00	DOES HAVE AN IMPACT ON CITIES
01:49:27:00	01:49:28:00	AND TOWNS THAT DON'T DO NOT
01:49:28:00	01:49:31:00	HAVE THE FINANCIAL CAPABILITIES
01:49:31:00	01:49:35:00	SUCH AS BOSTON AND IT DOES HAVE
01:49:35:00	01:49:36:00	AN IMPACT WHEN WE DELAY

01:51:17:00	01:51:20:00	IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES IS BEING
01:51:20:00	01:51:20:00	THREATENED BY A NEW WAVE
01:51:20:00	01:51:21:00	OF FEDERAL POLICIES AND HATEFUL
01:51:21:00	01:51:25:00	RHETORIC IN OUR CITY DESPITE
01:51:25:00	01:51:25:00	BEING THE SAFEST MAJORITY CITY
01:51:25:00	01:51:28:00	IN THE COUNTRY IS BEING
01:51:28:00	01:51:29:00	TARGETED FOR OUR COMMITMENT TO
01:51:29:00	01:51:32:00	ENSURING THAT PEOPLE FEEL SAFE
01:51:32:00	01:51:32:00	AND WELCOMED.
01:51:32:00	01:51:33:00	I FILED THIS HEARING ORDER TO
01:51:33:00	01:51:35:00	GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO
01:51:35:00	01:51:39:00	STRENGTHEN THAT COMMITMENT AS
01:51:39:00	01:51:39:00	IN THIS MOMENT IN TIME IT'S
01:51:39:00	01:51:40:00	WHAT IT'S CALLING FOR.
01:51:40:00	01:51:43:00	THERE HAVE BEEN DRASTIC CHANGES
01:51:43:00	01:51:43:00	TO OUR LEGAL, SOCIAL AND
01:51:43:00	01:51:46:00	POLITICAL LANDSCAPE SINCE THE
01:51:46:00	01:51:49:00	TRUST ACT WAS FIRST CREATED IN
01:51:49:00	01:51:49:00	2014 AND EVEN SINCE THE MOST
01:51:49:00	01:51:50:00	RECENT AMENDMENTS THAT WAS
01:51:50:00	01:51:54:00	PASSED IN 2019, THE FEAR STILL
01:51:54:00	01:51:58:00	PERSISTS BUT THEY FEEL A LITTLE
01:51:58:00	01:51:58:00	BIT DIFFERENT THIS TIME.
01:51:58:00	01:52:01:00	IMMIGRANTS ACROSS THE CITY ARE
01:52:01:00	01:52:02:00	FEARFUL OF GOING TO WORK.
01:52:02:00	01:52:05:00	THEY ARE HESITANT TO TAKE
01:52:05:00	01:52:05:00	PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND ARE
01:52:05:00	01:52:08:00	AFRAID TO REALLY BE ANYWHERE
01:52:08:00	01:52:09:00	THAT IS NOT THEIR HOME YET.
01:52:09:00	01:52:12:00	EVEN DESPITE ALL OF OUR ALL
01:52:12:00	01:52:13:00	OF THE WORK THAT WE'VE BEEN
01:52:13:00	01:52:16:00	DOING, MANY STILL DON'T FEEL
01:52:16:00	01:52:17:00	SAFE AND THE FEAR TACTICS BEING
01:52:17:00	01:52:20:00	IMPLEMENTED BY OUR NATION'S
01:52:20:00	01:52:20:00	LEADERS ARE AIMING TO PARALYZE
01:52:20:00	01:52:24:00	SILENCE AND RACE OUR IMMIGRANT
01:52:24:00	01:52:24:00	COMMUNITIES.
01:52:24:00	01:52:27:00	BUT WE MUST PUSH BACK, ENSURE
01:52:27:00	01:52:28:00	THAT OUR POLICIES AND
01:52:28:00	01:52:29:00	PROTECTIONS SUCH AS THE TRUST
01:52:29:00	01:52:32:00	ACT ARE STRONGER AS MEMBERS
01:52:32:00	01:52:35:00	OF CITY GOVERNMENT WE SERVE AS
01:52:35:00	01:52:38:00	THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE FOR
01:52:38:00	01:52:38:00	OUR IMMIGRANT CONSTITUENTS AND
01:52:38:00	01:52:42:00	AGAINST FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
01:52:42:00	01:52:43:00	WHICH VIEWS THEIR EXISTENCE AS
01:52:43:00	01:52:43:00	CRIMINALS.
01:52:43:00	01:52:46:00	IMMIGRANTS ARE OUR FRIENDS,
01:52:46:00	01:52:46:00	FAMILY, NEIGHBORS AND
01:52:46:00	01:52:46:00	COLLEAGUES.
01:52:46:00	01:52:50:00	THEY ARE US.
01:52:50:00	01:52:51:00	THEY ARE MEAN AND WE DESERVE TO
01:52:51:00	01:52:53:00	BE IN ALL SPACES AND PLACES
01:52:53:00	01:52:54:00	ACROSS THE CITY WITHOUT FEAR
01:52:54:00	01:52:55:00	THAT THE PUBLIC SAFETY
01:52:55:00	01:52:57:00	DEPARTMENTS WILL COLLABORATE
01:52:57:00	01:52:58:00	WITH ICE TO DETAIN US.
01:52:58:00	01:53:02:00	WE MUST TAKE A DEEP DIVE INTO

01:53:50:00	01:53:51:00	.

01:53:55:00	01:53:57:00	ATTENTION TO YOURSELF?
01:53:57:00	01:53:58:00	AND I SAID YES I DO BECAUSE IF

02:00:00:00	02:00:00:00	CITY.
02:00:00:00	02:00:03:00	THESE WORKERS KEEP OUR SCHOOLS
02:00:03:00	02:00:04:00	RUNNING OUR STREETS AND PARKS
02:00:04:00	02:00:04:00	CLEAN.
02:00:04:00	02:00:07:00	OUR PUBLIC TRANSIT OPERATIONAL
02:00:07:00	02:00:08:00	AND OUR SERVICES ACCESSIBLE.
02:00:08:00	02:00:08:00	THAT SAID TOO OUR SERVICES
02:00:08:00	02:00:08:00	ACCESSIBLE.
02:00:08:00	02:00:09:00	THAT SAID, TOO MANY OF THEM ARE
02:00:09:00	02:00:12:00	BEING PRICED OUT OF THE VERY
02:00:12:00	02:00:12:00	COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE.
02:00:12:00	02:00:15:00	WHEN WORKERS CAN NO LONGER
02:00:15:00	02:00:16:00	AFFORD TO LIVE HERE, IT WEAKENS
02:00:16:00	02:00:16:00	OUR CITY'S STABILITY.
02:00:16:00	02:00:19:00	WORKFORCE RETENTION AND OVERALL
02:00:19:00	02:00:20:00	QUALITY OF LIFE.
02:00:20:00	02:00:23:00	THIS WOMAN CALLS FOR A REAL
02:00:23:00	02:00:24:00	COMMITMENT TO SUPPORTING THE
02:00:24:00	02:00:25:00	PEOPLE WHO MAKE OUR CITY RUN TO
02:00:25:00	02:00:27:00	ENSURE THAT BOSTON REMAINS A
02:00:27:00	02:00:27:00	COMPETITIVE AND EQUITABLE CITY.
02:00:27:00	02:00:30:00	I ALSO JUST WANT TO NOTE FOR
02:00:30:00	02:00:31:00	THE RECORD THAT OUR OFFICE FOR
02:00:31:00	02:00:35:00	A HOUSING FUND OF I BELIEVE IT
02:00:35:00	02:00:37:00	WAS $750,000 TO SUPPORT
02:00:37:00	02:00:40:00	MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES.
02:00:40:00	02:00:41:00	THAT WAS ONE OF THE NEGOTIATING
02:00:41:00	02:00:44:00	THINGS THAT I FOUGHT FOR DURING
02:00:44:00	02:00:48:00	THE COVID RELIEF EFFORTS AND SO
02:00:48:00	02:00:48:00	THAT MONEY CAME AND WENT AND IT
02:00:48:00	02:00:49:00	DRIED UP.
02:00:49:00	02:00:51:00	AND I THINK IT'S REALLY
02:00:51:00	02:00:52:00	IMPORTANT FOR US IN THIS MOMENT
02:00:52:00	02:00:55:00	IN PARTICULAR TO RECOGNIZE THAT
02:00:55:00	02:00:56:00	OUR CITY EMPLOYEES ARE DOING
02:00:56:00	02:00:59:00	THE WORK WHILE OTHER FOLKS ARE
02:00:59:00	02:00:59:00	GETTING PAID FOR IT.
02:00:59:00	02:01:02:00	AND I THINK THAT THERE'S A LOT
02:01:02:00	02:01:03:00	OF INJUSTICES AND THEY'RE
02:01:03:00	02:01:05:00	USUALLY THE LOWEST WAGES ARE
02:01:05:00	02:01:06:00	USUALLY THE FIRST PEOPLE TO
02:01:06:00	02:01:06:00	LEAVE.
02:01:06:00	02:01:10:00	AND I THINK THAT WE HAVE AN
02:01:10:00	02:01:10:00	OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THE WAY
02:01:10:00	02:01:11:00	WE DO BUSINESS.
02:01:11:00	02:01:14:00	AND I THINK IN FORCING AND
02:01:14:00	02:01:14:00	CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR
02:01:14:00	02:01:14:00	MEANINGFUL WORKFORCE
02:01:14:00	02:01:18:00	DEVELOPMENT, HOUSING FOR THEM
02:01:18:00	02:01:19:00	AND THEIR SUPPORT EMPLOYEES
02:01:19:00	02:01:21:00	DEMONSTRATES THAT WE AS A
02:01:21:00	02:01:22:00	COUNCIL ARE NOT JUST PROVIDING
02:01:22:00	02:01:22:00	PEOPLE LIP SERVICE.
02:01:22:00	02:01:23:00	WHILE I UNDERSTAND THERE'S
02:01:23:00	02:01:26:00	EFFORTS TO INCREASE IT THROUGH
02:01:26:00	02:01:30:00	THE INCREASING WAGES THAT'S
02:01:30:00	02:01:30:00	ONE.
02:01:30:00	02:01:31:00	BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE
02:01:31:00	02:01:34:00	AN OPPORTUNITY FOR LOOKING AT
02:01:34:00	02:01:37:00	EMPLOYEES AS A WHOLE IN HOUSING
02:01:37:00	02:01:38:00	AND THEIR STABILITY IS A PART
02:01:38:00	02:01:39:00	OF THAT CONVERSATION.
02:01:39:00	02:01:42:00	SO I LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING THE
02:01:42:00	02:01:42:00	HEARING AND MORE IMPORTANTLY
02:01:42:00	02:01:43:00	MAYBE PUTTING SOME MONEY ASIDE
02:01:43:00	02:01:45:00	IN OUR BUDGET TO PILOT
02:01:45:00	02:01:46:00	SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT MORE
02:01:46:00	02:01:46:00	AGGRESSIVE.
02:01:46:00	02:01:46:00	THANK YOU.
02:01:46:00	02:01:50:00	THANK YOU.
02:01:50:00	02:01:50:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES COMES OVER
02:01:50:00	02:01:53:00	COUNCIL WHERE WE HAVE THE FLOOR
02:01:53:00	02:01:53:00	.
02:01:53:00	02:01:53:00	THANK YOU AND THANK YOU TO
02:01:53:00	02:01:56:00	COUNCILOR MEJIA FOR FOR FOR
02:01:56:00	02:01:57:00	LEADING THIS EFFORT.
02:01:57:00	02:01:58:00	I THINK WE'VE ALL HEARD TOO
02:01:58:00	02:02:00:00	OFTEN ABOUT THE VACANCIES IN
02:02:00:00	02:02:00:00	CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT PROVIDE
02:02:00:00	02:02:01:00	ESSENTIAL SERVICES THAT CAN'T
02:02:01:00	02:02:04:00	BE FILLED BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN'T
02:02:04:00	02:02:04:00	AFFORD TO LIVE HERE.
02:02:04:00	02:02:08:00	I THINK THIS IS, YOU KNOW, AN
02:02:08:00	02:02:08:00	INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO
02:02:08:00	02:02:11:00	PROVIDING THE HOUSING THAT WILL
02:02:11:00	02:02:12:00	ALLOW PEOPLE TO LIVE AND WORK
02:02:12:00	02:02:15:00	IN THE CITY AND SUPPORT OUR
02:02:15:00	02:02:15:00	RESIDENTS.
02:02:15:00	02:02:16:00	AND I THINK AS WE LOOK AT THIS,
02:02:16:00	02:02:17:00	WE SHOULD ALSO LOOK AT THE
02:02:17:00	02:02:19:00	LIVING WAGE ORDINANCE AND
02:02:19:00	02:02:20:00	MAKING SURE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE
02:02:20:00	02:02:24:00	PROVIDING THE WAGES THAT OUR
02:02:24:00	02:02:25:00	CITY WORKERS DESERVE.
02:02:25:00	02:02:25:00	THANK YOU.
02:02:25:00	02:02:25:00	THANK YOU.
02:02:25:00	02:02:25:00	THE CHAIR.
02:02:25:00	02:02:27:00	CAN I JUST COME THROUGH FOR ANY
02:02:27:00	02:02:28:00	OTHER FLOOR?
02:02:28:00	02:02:31:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
02:02:31:00	02:02:32:00	AND THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
02:02:32:00	02:02:34:00	AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO
02:02:34:00	02:02:35:00	COUNCILOR MEJIA FOR BRINGING
02:02:35:00	02:02:38:00	THIS FORWARD BUT ALSO THE
02:02:38:00	02:02:39:00	IMPORTANT WORK SHE HAS DONE
02:02:39:00	02:02:42:00	CONSISTENTLY IN SUPPORTING CITY
02:02:42:00	02:02:43:00	EMPLOYEES, ESPECIALLY LOW WAGE
02:02:43:00	02:02:46:00	CITY EMPLOYEES.
02:02:46:00	02:02:50:00	TO TWO POINTS I WANT TO MAKE.
02:02:50:00	02:02:51:00	MADAM CHAIR WOULD BE AND I KNOW
02:02:51:00	02:02:53:00	COUNCILOR MEJIA REFERENCED
02:02:53:00	02:02:56:00	REFERENCE BOTH OF THEM
02:02:56:00	02:02:57:00	RESIDENCY ESPECIALLY FOR THE
02:02:57:00	02:03:00:00	LOWEST WAGE CITY EMPLOYEES.
02:03:00:00	02:03:05:00	IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM
02:03:05:00	02:03:11:00	MAKING $30,000 A YEAR MAKING 40
02:03:11:00	02:03:12:00	$40,000 A YEAR TO TRY TO GET AN
02:03:12:00	02:03:15:00	APARTMENT OR EVEN BUY A HOME ON
02:03:15:00	02:03:18:00	SUCH A RENT AN APARTMENT IS
02:03:18:00	02:03:19:00	ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
02:03:19:00	02:03:22:00	ARE WE ABLE TO CONSIDER GIVING
02:03:22:00	02:03:23:00	RESIDENCY WAIVERS TO THE LOWEST
02:03:23:00	02:03:26:00	WAGE CITY EMPLOYEES?
02:03:26:00	02:03:30:00	THEY CAN'T MAKE IT HERE IN
02:03:30:00	02:03:33:00	BOSTON ON THEIR SALARY $40,000
02:03:33:00	02:03:34:00	AND MAYBE THEY HAVE A FAMILY
02:03:34:00	02:03:37:00	VERY DIFFICULT.
02:03:37:00	02:03:37:00	EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.
02:03:37:00	02:03:40:00	THAT ONE ISSUE.
02:03:40:00	02:03:43:00	AND THE SECOND ISSUE AS MANY
02:03:43:00	02:03:44:00	OF YOU KNOW, WHEN WE HAVE UNION
02:03:44:00	02:03:47:00	CONTRACTS HERE, THE INCREASE
02:03:47:00	02:03:51:00	USUALLY HAS BEEN 2% FOR THE
02:03:51:00	02:03:55:00	LOWEST THE LOWEST WAGE CITY
02:03:55:00	02:03:55:00	WORKERS.
02:03:55:00	02:03:58:00	AND I ALWAYS CHALLENGE THE CITY
02:03:58:00	02:03:59:00	ADMINISTRATION REGARDLESS
02:03:59:00	02:03:59:00	OF WHO IT IS, WHAT
02:03:59:00	02:04:02:00	ADMINISTRATION IT IS IS THAT
02:04:02:00	02:04:03:00	THE BEST WE CAN DO?
02:04:03:00	02:04:06:00	THAT'S THE QUESTION I ASK.
02:04:06:00	02:04:07:00	AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE GET UPSET
02:04:07:00	02:04:09:00	WITH ME FOR ASKING.
02:04:09:00	02:04:13:00	BUT A 2% RAISE FOR CITY
02:04:13:00	02:04:16:00	EMPLOYEES IS NOT ENOUGH.
02:04:16:00	02:04:17:00	FACTORING INFLATION IT'S ALMOST
02:04:17:00	02:04:20:00	A PAY DECREASE IN MY OPINION.
02:04:20:00	02:04:23:00	I'M GOING TO CONTINUE
02:04:23:00	02:04:24:00	ADVOCATING FOR A DECENT WAGE
02:04:24:00	02:04:27:00	FOR OUR LOWEST WEIGHT LOWEST
02:04:27:00	02:04:27:00	PAID CITY EMPLOYEES.
02:04:27:00	02:04:31:00	BUT I WOULD ALSO ASK MY FELLOW
02:04:31:00	02:04:34:00	CITY COUNCILORS DURING THE
02:04:34:00	02:04:38:00	OPPORTUNITY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
02:04:38:00	02:04:39:00	UNION CONTRACTS LET'S ALSO ASK
02:04:39:00	02:04:42:00	ABOUT THESE LOW WAGES AND HOW
02:04:42:00	02:04:46:00	DO WE INCREASE THEM WAGE
02:04:46:00	02:04:46:00	INSTEAD OF 2%?
02:04:46:00	02:04:49:00	ARE WE ABLE TO INCREASE IT TO
02:04:49:00	02:04:49:00	3%?
02:04:49:00	02:04:53:00	MANY OTHER CITY UNIONS GET 3%
02:04:53:00	02:04:57:00	BUT THE LOWEST WAGE WORKERS
02:04:57:00	02:04:57:00	OFTENTIMES GET 2%.
02:04:57:00	02:05:00:00	I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ALL
02:05:00:00	02:05:00:00	OF US TO ADVOCATE FOR THEM SO
02:05:00:00	02:05:04:00	THAT THEY CAN RECEIVE A DECENT
02:05:04:00	02:05:08:00	WAGE SO THAT THEY CAN SUPPORT
02:05:08:00	02:05:08:00	THEIR FAMILIES AND LIVE IN
02:05:08:00	02:05:08:00	DIGNITY.
02:05:08:00	02:05:13:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
02:05:13:00	02:05:13:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES CONTRABAND
02:05:13:00	02:05:15:00	AND YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
02:05:15:00	02:05:16:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
02:05:16:00	02:05:19:00	AND THANK YOU COUNCILWOMAN HERE
02:05:19:00	02:05:20:00	FOR ONCE AGAIN BRINGING THIS
02:05:20:00	02:05:22:00	VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE FORWARD.
02:05:22:00	02:05:26:00	THE THE MIXED INCOME WE REALLY
02:05:26:00	02:05:27:00	JUST AREN'T WE NEED TO BUILD
02:05:27:00	02:05:29:00	MORE HOUSING BUT WE ALSO REALLY
02:05:29:00	02:05:30:00	NEED TO BE ABLE TO BUILD MORE
02:05:30:00	02:05:33:00	MIXED INCOME HOUSING.
02:05:33:00	02:05:34:00	I THINK THE REALITY OF THE
02:05:34:00	02:05:37:00	SITUATION IS THAT THE MIDDLE
02:05:37:00	02:05:38:00	INCOME HOUSING IS THE MOST
02:05:38:00	02:05:41:00	DIFFICULT TO FUND AND FINANCE.
02:05:41:00	02:05:41:00	THE LUXURY HOUSING WILL TAKE
02:05:41:00	02:05:44:00	CARE OF ITSELF AND THE LOW
02:05:44:00	02:05:48:00	INCOME HOUSING IS VERY OFTEN
02:05:48:00	02:05:49:00	ABLE TO GET SUBSIDIES AND
02:05:49:00	02:05:52:00	GRANTS FROM FEDERAL AND STATE
02:05:52:00	02:05:53:00	AND OTHER SOURCES.
02:05:53:00	02:05:56:00	BUT IT'S THE MIDDLE INCOME
02:05:56:00	02:05:56:00	FOLKS, THE FOLKS THAT ARE
02:05:56:00	02:06:02:00	LEARNING EARNING MAYBE 60 TO
02:06:02:00	02:06:02:00	MAYBE $100,000.
02:06:02:00	02:06:03:00	THEY'RE THE MOST THAT'S THE
02:06:03:00	02:06:06:00	MOST DIFFICULT SPACE IN WHICH
02:06:06:00	02:06:07:00	TO GET FUNDING TO SUBSIDIZE THE
02:06:07:00	02:06:10:00	BUILDING OF THOSE HOMES.
02:06:10:00	02:06:14:00	AND I THINK THAT THIS IS THIS
02:06:14:00	02:06:15:00	IS WHERE THE PAIN POINT IS AND
02:06:15:00	02:06:17:00	I THINK WE HAVE TO REALLY PUT
02:06:17:00	02:06:18:00	OUR SHOULDERS TO THE WHEEL AND
02:06:18:00	02:06:21:00	TRYING TO FIGURE OUT SOME
02:06:21:00	02:06:21:00	DIFFERENT APPROACHES.
02:06:21:00	02:06:25:00	I DO LIKE THE NOTION PRESENTED
02:06:25:00	02:06:28:00	BY COUNSELOR SANTANA THE WHOLE
02:06:28:00	02:06:29:00	ISSUE AROUND SOCIAL HOUSING
02:06:29:00	02:06:30:00	THAT'S CERTAINLY AN AREA WE
02:06:30:00	02:06:32:00	NEED TO DIVE INTO WITH MORE AND
02:06:32:00	02:06:33:00	WE ALSO NEED TO DO MORE TO
02:06:33:00	02:06:36:00	PROMOTE OUR NONPROFIT HOUSING
02:06:36:00	02:06:37:00	DEVELOPERS AS THEY ARE ABLE TO.
02:06:37:00	02:06:40:00	THEY'RE NOT PAYING DIVIDENDS TO
02:06:40:00	02:06:40:00	THEIR INVESTORS AND THEIR
02:06:40:00	02:06:43:00	PRIVATE EQUITY FUNDS.
02:06:43:00	02:06:44:00	THEY ARE BUILDING HOUSES FOR
02:06:44:00	02:06:47:00	THOSE THAT MOST NEED IT.
02:06:47:00	02:06:48:00	SO I THINK WE HAVE LOTS
02:06:48:00	02:06:49:00	OF SPACE HERE TO EXPLORE OTHER
02:06:49:00	02:06:51:00	OPTIONS AND LEARN LEARN MORE
02:06:51:00	02:06:52:00	AND AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO
02:06:52:00	02:06:55:00	BECAUSE WE'RE NOT FACING INTO A
02:06:55:00	02:06:56:00	VERY PROMISING ENVIRONMENT WITH
02:06:56:00	02:06:59:00	REGARD TO FEDERAL FUNDING.
02:06:59:00	02:07:02:00	SO WE HAVE TO SORT OF PUT OUR
02:07:02:00	02:07:03:00	PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER AND SEE
02:07:03:00	02:07:04:00	IF WE CAN COME UP WITH OTHER
02:07:04:00	02:07:07:00	CREATIVE SOLUTIONS.
02:07:07:00	02:07:07:00	SO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND
02:07:07:00	02:07:08:00	ALSO THANK YOU COUNSELOR
02:07:08:00	02:07:10:00	SANTANA FOR YOUR WORK ON THE

02:07:10:00	02:07:14:00	HOUSING AS IS THE CHAIR OF THE
02:07:14:00	02:07:14:00	HOUSING COMMITTEE.
02:07:14:00	02:07:14:00	I REALLY APPRECIATE THOSE
02:07:14:00	02:07:15:00	EFFORTS.
02:07:15:00	02:07:17:00	THANK YOU.
02:07:17:00	02:07:18:00	THANK YOU.
02:07:18:00	02:07:18:00	SO ANYONE ELSE WILLING TO SPEAK

02:22:44:00	02:22:44:00	OTHER CITIES LIKE DETROIT HAVE
02:22:44:00	02:22:45:00	TAKEN STEPS TO ASSIST

02:22:52:00	02:22:52:00	MEASURES.
02:22:52:00	02:22:55:00	THIS HEARING WILL ALLOW US TO
02:22:55:00	02:22:55:00	EXAMINE THE POSSIBILITY
02:22:55:00	02:22:58:00	OF CREATING TAX EXEMPTIONS OR

02:24:22:00	02:24:23:00	WE CAN GO BEYOND THOSE STEPS.
02:24:23:00	02:24:24:00	I WAS GOING TO READ A COUPLE
02:24:24:00	02:24:26:00	OF YEARS IDEAS THAT MY TEAM AND
02:24:26:00	02:24:30:00	I CAME UP WITH UM AND THE

02:24:41:00	02:24:41:00	SEASON AS WE'RE MAKING SOME
02:24:41:00	02:24:45:00	PRIORITIES.
02:24:45:00	02:24:46:00	UM, SO THAT IDEA CENTRAL

02:24:59:00	02:25:00:00	CENTRAL REGISTRY MEMBERS OF THE
02:25:00:00	02:25:03:00	PUBLIC IN COMMITTEE WORKS THAT

02:25:08:00	02:25:13:00	TO INVITE.
02:25:13:00	02:25:13:00	ANOTHER IDEA THAT WE DISCUSSED

02:25:21:00	02:25:21:00	BUT COULD ALSO BROADEN
02:25:21:00	02:25:24:00	ACCESSIBILITY TO IT CAN BETTER
02:25:24:00	02:25:25:00	INTEGRATE VIRTUAL PUBLIC

02:25:33:00	02:25:37:00	SO YOU KNOW, THE IDEA IS THAT
02:25:37:00	02:25:38:00	WE CAN WITH AN EXTRA STAFFER ON
02:25:38:00	02:25:40:00	THE CENTRAL STAFF AND WE CAN
02:25:40:00	02:25:43:00	HAVE A FULL TIME PERSON

02:25:47:00	02:25:48:00	HEARINGS, OUR MEETINGS ARE
02:25:48:00	02:25:51:00	ACCESSIBLE TO TO OUR COMMUNITY
02:25:51:00	02:25:51:00	MEMBERS.
02:25:51:00	02:25:52:00	I KNOW THAT WE'VE ALSO BEEN
02:25:52:00	02:25:54:00	TALKED ABOUT MAYBE IF WE WERE
02:25:54:00	02:25:58:00	TO HAVE SUCH A PERSON AND
02:25:58:00	02:25:59:00	APPROVED EQUIPMENT EVEN WHEN
02:25:59:00	02:26:02:00	WE'RE HAVING HEARINGS IN HERE
02:26:02:00	02:26:03:00	WE CAN PROBABLY IDENTIFY
02:26:03:00	02:26:04:00	DIFFERENT AREAS IN THE
02:26:04:00	02:26:07:00	COMMUNITY WHERE WE CAN HAVE A
02:26:07:00	02:26:07:00	HYBRID MODEL WHERE PEOPLE CAN
02:26:07:00	02:26:10:00	YOU, YOU KNOW, GO TO THAT
02:26:10:00	02:26:13:00	LIBRARY OR COMMUNITY OR OUTSIDE
02:26:13:00	02:26:14:00	OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE AND
02:26:14:00	02:26:17:00	BE ABLE TO TESTIFY FROM THERE
02:26:17:00	02:26:18:00	AS ARE TUNING IN HERE.
02:26:18:00	02:26:19:00	SO YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN HEARING
02:26:19:00	02:26:21:00	FROM A LOT OF RESIDENTS
02:26:21:00	02:26:25:00	OBVIOUSLY OUR HEARINGS ARE AT

02:26:29:00	02:26:33:00	WORKING OR SCHOOL OR DOING
02:26:33:00	02:26:33:00	SOMETHING ELSE.
02:26:33:00	02:26:36:00	SO THIS IS WILL BE A BETTER WAY
02:26:36:00	02:26:37:00	MORE HEARING AND OR HEARING
02:26:37:00	02:26:40:00	ORDER TO A DISCUSSION TO BE
02:26:40:00	02:26:41:00	ABLE TO HAVE WITH ALL OF US TO
02:26:41:00	02:26:47:00	DISCUSS BETTER WAYS TO INCREASE
02:26:47:00	02:26:47:00	IT, TO INCREASE PUBLIC
02:26:47:00	02:26:50:00	ENGAGEMENT WITHIN OUR CITY
02:26:50:00	02:26:51:00	COUNCIL MEETINGS.
02:26:51:00	02:26:51:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
02:26:51:00	02:26:52:00	THANK YOU.
02:26:52:00	02:26:56:00	THE CHAIRMAN OF THIS
02:26:56:00	02:26:56:00	COUNCIL OVER HERE COMES FROM
02:26:56:00	02:26:58:00	HERE YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
02:26:58:00	02:26:58:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
02:26:58:00	02:26:59:00	AND I WANT TO THANK MY
02:26:59:00	02:27:02:00	COLLEAGUE FOR A FILE IN THIS
02:27:02:00	02:27:02:00	HEARING.
02:27:02:00	02:27:04:00	I REMEMBER IN 2018 2019 WHEN I
02:27:04:00	02:27:05:00	WAS RUNNING PEOPLE WOULD ASK
02:27:05:00	02:27:08:00	ME WHAT WAS GOING TO BE MY
02:27:08:00	02:27:09:00	FIRST HEARING AND I SAID I WAS
02:27:09:00	02:27:10:00	GOING TO DO A HEARING ON PUBLIC
02:27:10:00	02:27:12:00	HEARINGS BECAUSE THEY DON'T
02:27:12:00	02:27:13:00	WORK BUT ACTUALLY BECAUSE
02:27:13:00	02:27:13:00	OF THE CLIMATE THAT WE WERE IN
02:27:13:00	02:27:16:00	I ENDED UP HAVING TO FILE THE
02:27:16:00	02:27:17:00	HEARING ON SAFE SANCTUARY
02:27:17:00	02:27:17:00	SPACES.
02:27:17:00	02:27:19:00	SO THAT'S WHAT I FOCUSED ON.
02:27:19:00	02:27:20:00	BUT I REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOUR
02:27:20:00	02:27:24:00	INTENTIONALITY AROUND CIVIC
02:27:24:00	02:27:24:00	ENGAGEMENT AND I KNOW THAT
02:27:24:00	02:27:27:00	COUNCILOR BREDON AND THEN
02:27:27:00	02:27:27:00	COUNCILOR EDWARDS AND I WORKED
02:27:27:00	02:27:31:00	ON DIGITAL DEMOCRACY AND MAKING
02:27:31:00	02:27:31:00	SURE THAT WE WERE MEETING THE
02:27:31:00	02:27:32:00	MOMENT AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
02:27:32:00	02:27:35:00	HOW WE COULD MAINTAIN THAT.
02:27:35:00	02:27:38:00	I WALKED INTO THIS CHAMBER
02:27:38:00	02:27:39:00	THINKING THAT WE WERE GOING TO
02:27:39:00	02:27:40:00	CHANGE EVERYTHING BUT THEN
02:27:40:00	02:27:42:00	COVID CAME AND CHANGED ALL
02:27:42:00	02:27:43:00	OF US AND EVEN HOW WE
02:27:43:00	02:27:44:00	FUNCTIONED AND IT REALLY
02:27:44:00	02:27:46:00	DEMONSTRATED THAT CIVIC
02:27:46:00	02:27:47:00	ENGAGEMENT INCREASED WHEN WE
02:27:47:00	02:27:50:00	SAW PEOPLE WHO WERE ABLE TO LOG
02:27:50:00	02:27:50:00	IN VIRTUALLY.
02:27:50:00	02:27:54:00	SO I AM BLAKE HERE FOR WHATEVER
02:27:54:00	02:27:55:00	IS GOING TO GIVE PEOPLE A VOICE
02:27:55:00	02:27:58:00	AND LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING
02:27:58:00	02:27:58:00	ALONGSIDE YOU.
02:27:58:00	02:28:01:00	I ALSO THINK THAT ACCESSIBILITY
02:28:01:00	02:28:02:00	TO THESE TYPE OF SPACES IS NOT
02:28:02:00	02:28:05:00	JUST ABOUT THE TIMES THAT WE
02:28:05:00	02:28:06:00	HAVE THEM BUT ALSO THE TYPES
02:28:06:00	02:28:06:00	OF SUPPORT SERVICES THAT WE'RE
02:28:06:00	02:28:09:00	ABLE TO PROVIDE SO LANGUAGE
02:28:09:00	02:28:13:00	ACCESS OUR OFFICE WAS THE FIRST
02:28:13:00	02:28:14:00	OFFICE TO HOST THE HEARING
02:28:14:00	02:28:17:00	WHERE THERE WAS MULTIPLE
02:28:17:00	02:28:21:00	INTERPRETATION OFFERED AND SO I
02:28:21:00	02:28:22:00	THINK THAT THAT SHOULD BE A
02:28:22:00	02:28:25:00	PRACTICE OFTENTIMES WHEN WE DO
02:28:25:00	02:28:26:00	IT WE DO IT JUST MAKE PEOPLE
02:28:26:00	02:28:28:00	SIGN UP AND IF THEY DO THEN WE
02:28:28:00	02:28:29:00	ARE ABLE TO ASK FOR IT.
02:28:29:00	02:28:30:00	SO I THINK THAT THERE'S SO MANY
02:28:30:00	02:28:32:00	BARRIERS TO ENGAGEMENT AND I
02:28:32:00	02:28:33:00	ALSO JUST WANT TO UPLIFT THAT
02:28:33:00	02:28:37:00	I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
02:28:37:00	02:28:40:00	CHILDCARE AND WORKING ALONGSIDE
02:28:40:00	02:28:41:00	NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS FOR
02:28:41:00	02:28:44:00	CHILD CARE NOT JUST CHILDCARE
02:28:44:00	02:28:46:00	BUT MAYBE ACTIVITIES FOR YOUNG
02:28:46:00	02:28:47:00	PEOPLE WHO ARE FIVE YEARS OLD
02:28:47:00	02:28:47:00	AND OVER.
02:28:47:00	02:28:49:00	WE WANT TO GET INTO THE HABIT
02:28:49:00	02:28:50:00	OF CARING FOR KIDS BECAUSE THAT
02:28:50:00	02:28:53:00	CAN GET US INTO SOME TROUBLE.
02:28:53:00	02:28:54:00	AND I ALSO THINK THAT IF WE'RE
02:28:54:00	02:28:57:00	REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT ENGAGEMENT
02:28:57:00	02:28:58:00	THEN OUR BUDGETS ALSO HAVE TO
02:28:58:00	02:29:01:00	REFLECT, YOU KNOW, SOME SUPPORT
02:29:01:00	02:29:02:00	SERVICES FOR EVEN PROVIDING
02:29:02:00	02:29:04:00	REFRESHMENTS.
02:29:04:00	02:29:05:00	I KNOW THAT SOUNDS CRAZY.
02:29:05:00	02:29:06:00	THOSE ARE THE SORT OF THINGS
02:29:06:00	02:29:08:00	THAT I'D LOVE FOR US TO BE ABLE
02:29:08:00	02:29:11:00	TO TALK ABOUT IN TERMS OF REAL
02:29:11:00	02:29:12:00	ENGAGEMENT.
02:29:12:00	02:29:15:00	AND THEN WHILE I HAVE THE MIC,
02:29:15:00	02:29:16:00	I ALSO THINK IT'S REALLY
02:29:16:00	02:29:16:00	IMPORTANT FOR US TO EVEN
02:29:16:00	02:29:19:00	CONSIDER HOW WE FACILITATE SOME
02:29:19:00	02:29:19:00	OF THESE HEARINGS.
02:29:19:00	02:29:23:00	I THINK THAT WE HAVE AN
02:29:23:00	02:29:27:00	OPPORTUNITY TO REVISE THE
02:29:27:00	02:29:29:00	CONSTRUCTS IN TERMS OF JUST WHO
02:29:29:00	02:29:30:00	SPEAKS FIRST, HOW MUCH TIME
02:29:30:00	02:29:33:00	THEY HAVE TO SPEAK.
02:29:33:00	02:29:34:00	I THINK THAT THOSE ARE SORT
02:29:34:00	02:29:35:00	OF THE THINGS THAT I ALSO WOULD
02:29:35:00	02:29:37:00	LOVE TO SEE HERE IN THE ART AND
02:29:37:00	02:29:40:00	IN YOUR HEARING ORDER.
02:29:40:00	02:29:41:00	AND I ALSO THINK THAT WE HAVE
02:29:41:00	02:29:44:00	TO BE SUPER MINDFUL OF MAKING
02:29:44:00	02:29:45:00	SURE OR AT LEAST I'VE BEEN
02:29:45:00	02:29:48:00	TRYING TO DO MORE OF THIS BUT
02:29:48:00	02:29:51:00	THAT OFTENTIMES WHEN WE DO HAVE
02:29:51:00	02:29:52:00	HEARINGS THEY USUALLY START AND
02:29:52:00	02:29:56:00	SOMETIMES WE PUT THINGS OUT AND
02:29:56:00	02:29:57:00	PEOPLE SHOW UP AND IT'S BASED
02:29:57:00	02:29:59:00	ON YOUR CONSTITUENCY AND WHO'S
02:29:59:00	02:30:00:00	FOLLOWING YOU.
02:30:00:00	02:30:00:00	BUT I THINK HAVING SOMEBODY
02:30:00:00	02:30:04:00	DEDICATED TO ALSO MAKING SURE
02:30:04:00	02:30:04:00	THAT WE'RE BEING NEUTRAL AND
02:30:04:00	02:30:07:00	THAT WE'RE HAVING SPACE FOR ALL
02:30:07:00	02:30:08:00	DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES TO BE
02:30:08:00	02:30:08:00	HEARD, I THINK THAT SHOULD BE
02:30:08:00	02:30:13:00	ALSO ADDED TO THE WAY WE DO
02:30:13:00	02:30:13:00	BUSINESS HERE.
02:30:13:00	02:30:13:00	THANK YOU.
02:30:13:00	02:30:14:00	THANK YOU.
02:30:14:00	02:30:15:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES

02:30:30:00	02:30:30:00	UPSET WITH ME FOR SAYING THIS
02:30:30:00	02:30:31:00	BUT I THINK PART OF THE
02:30:31:00	02:30:34:00	SOLUTION IS FOR CITY COUNCILORS
02:30:34:00	02:30:37:00	TO SHOW UP TO MEETINGS AS WELL
02:30:37:00	02:30:37:00	.

02:30:41:00	02:30:44:00	TELEVISION, THEY'RE ON VIDEO
02:30:44:00	02:30:45:00	LIVE AND THEY'VE BROADCASTED
02:30:45:00	02:30:48:00	THROUGHOUT THE WEEK AND AT
02:30:48:00	02:30:51:00	TIMES THE PUBLIC WILL SAY TO
02:30:51:00	02:30:59:00	ME HEY ED, HOW COME COUNCILORS
02:30:59:00	02:31:03:00	IF YOU COULD SO THAT TO THE
02:31:03:00	02:31:04:00	COUNCIL WHEN YOU HAVE THE FLOOR
02:31:04:00	02:31:06:00	THEY'LL SAY TO ME HEY ED, YOU
02:31:06:00	02:31:07:00	KNOW, I NOTICED THERE WAS TWO
02:31:07:00	02:31:10:00	COLLEAGUES OF YOURS IN THE
02:31:10:00	02:31:10:00	CHAMBER.
02:31:10:00	02:31:11:00	I DON'T I DON'T WANT TO CALL
02:31:11:00	02:31:12:00	PEOPLE OUT BUT IT'S BEEN
02:31:12:00	02:31:13:00	HAPPENING FOR THE LONGEST
02:31:13:00	02:31:14:00	PERIOD OF TIME.
02:31:14:00	02:31:17:00	I'M NOT MAKING FRIENDS HERE BY
02:31:17:00	02:31:17:00	POINTING OUT THAT MY COLLEAGUES
02:31:17:00	02:31:20:00	DON'T SHOW UP FOR MEETINGS BUT
02:31:20:00	02:31:24:00	IT SETS IT SETS AN EXAMPLE.
02:31:24:00	02:31:27:00	DO WE TAKE MEETINGS SERIOUSLY
02:31:27:00	02:31:29:00	OR DO WE JUST NOT SHOW UP
02:31:29:00	02:31:32:00	BECAUSE OF WHATEVER REASON?
02:31:32:00	02:31:33:00	BUT I THINK IT STARTS WITH THAT
02:31:33:00	02:31:36:00	SO I SUPPORT THIS HEARING ORDER
02:31:36:00	02:31:39:00	BUT IT DOES START WITH US
02:31:39:00	02:31:43:00	ENGAGING IN BEING PRESENT AT
02:31:43:00	02:31:46:00	THESE MEETINGS WE SHOULD HAVE

02:31:50:00	02:31:53:00	THAT'S OUR JOB.
02:31:53:00	02:31:57:00	AGAIN, I KNOW PEOPLE DISAGREE
02:31:57:00	02:32:01:00	WITH ME BUT IF WE'RE SERIOUS
02:32:01:00	02:32:04:00	ABOUT HOW WE INCLUDE THE PUBLIC

02:32:16:00	02:32:19:00	IT'S ABOUT WELCOMING PEOPLE.
02:32:19:00	02:32:19:00	IT'S ABOUT WELCOMING PEOPLE
02:32:19:00	02:32:22:00	WITH DISABILITIES ALSO INTO

02:32:37:00	02:32:38:00	FAMILY THAT WAS HERE A FEW
02:32:38:00	02:32:38:00	MINUTES AGO.

02:33:03:00	02:33:03:00	CITY COUNCILORS ARE PRESENT AT
02:33:03:00	02:33:06:00	A MEETING?
02:33:06:00	02:33:10:00	WE HAVE TO ANSWER THAT
02:33:10:00	02:33:10:00	QUESTION.
02:33:10:00	02:33:14:00	I THINK IT IS I THINK I THINK
02:33:14:00	02:33:15:00	THE PUBLIC WANTS EVERY SINGLE
02:33:15:00	02:33:20:00	PERSON AT AT A PUBLIC MEETING
02:33:20:00	02:33:20:00	REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE SUBJECT
02:33:20:00	02:33:24:00	IS CERTAINLY I UNDERSTAND IF
02:33:24:00	02:33:25:00	THERE'S A SICKNESS IN THE
02:33:25:00	02:33:28:00	FAMILY, IF THERE IS A MEDICAL
02:33:28:00	02:33:31:00	CONDITION, IF YOUR CHILD HAS TO
02:33:31:00	02:33:32:00	BE AT SCHOOL, THOSE ARE ALL
02:33:32:00	02:33:35:00	UNDERSTANDABLE BUT BUT IT
02:33:35:00	02:33:38:00	SHOULD NOT BE BECAUSE I HAD
02:33:38:00	02:33:39:00	SOMETHING I'D RATHER DO IN
02:33:39:00	02:33:42:00	ANOTHER PART OF THE CITY.
02:33:42:00	02:33:43:00	THIS THIS JOB IS ABOUT SHOWING
02:33:43:00	02:33:47:00	UP AND WE NEED TO DO A BETTER
02:33:47:00	02:33:51:00	JOB OF THAT LEAD BY EXAMPLE.

02:33:56:00	02:33:58:00	SUPPORT OF THIS HERE IN ORDER I
02:33:58:00	02:33:58:00	THINK THAT IT'S A BRILLIANT

02:33:59:00	02:34:01:00	THE BEST HEARINGS THAT WE HAVE
02:34:01:00	02:34:02:00	IS WHEN THEY'RE BETTER ATTENDED
02:34:02:00	02:34:02:00	BY THE PUBLIC.
02:34:02:00	02:34:05:00	AND I THINK THAT IT'S REALLY
02:34:05:00	02:34:06:00	CRUCIAL FOR US TO FIND WAYS TO
02:34:06:00	02:34:09:00	BE ABLE TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR
02:34:09:00	02:34:09:00	ANY RESIDENT TO MAKE IT TO A
02:34:09:00	02:34:10:00	CITY COUNCIL HEARING.
02:34:10:00	02:34:12:00	SO KUDOS TO THE CIVIC
02:34:12:00	02:34:13:00	ENGAGEMENT COUNCILOR AND I ALSO

02:34:17:00	02:34:20:00	THE YOUTH OR STUDENTS I WOULD
02:34:20:00	02:34:20:00	LOVE IT IF WE CAN HOLD THEM
02:34:20:00	02:34:21:00	AFTER SCHOOL HOURS SO THAT WE
02:34:21:00	02:34:24:00	CAN INVITE THE YOUTH SO THERE'S
02:34:24:00	02:34:25:00	ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT THEM.
02:34:25:00	02:34:28:00	I THINK THAT I WASN'T A
02:34:28:00	02:34:29:00	COUNCILOR YET BUT I REMEMBER
02:34:29:00	02:34:29:00	WATCHING THE O'BRIEN HEARING I
02:34:29:00	02:34:32:00	THOUGHT THE MAYOR DID A GREAT
02:34:32:00	02:34:32:00	JOB.
02:34:32:00	02:34:33:00	I KNOW I REMEMBER SHE CHAIRED
02:34:33:00	02:34:36:00	THAT BUT YOU DID A GREAT JOB
02:34:36:00	02:34:36:00	PROVIDED CHILD CARE AND THERE
02:34:36:00	02:34:40:00	WAS ROOM FILLED WITH O'BRIEN
02:34:40:00	02:34:40:00	STUDENTS SO WE SHOULD SEE MORE

02:34:52:00	02:34:54:00	SAY SOME OF THE BEST HEARINGS
02:34:54:00	02:34:58:00	THAT THE PUBLIC AND THE
02:34:58:00	02:34:59:00	COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN FULLY
02:34:59:00	02:34:59:00	ENGAGED IN HAVE BEEN THE ONES

02:35:10:00	02:35:10:00	LIKE THAT.
02:35:10:00	02:35:11:00	THERE HAS BEEN THIS BECAUSE
02:35:11:00	02:35:14:00	WE'VE ALWAYS DONE IT BUT THAT
02:35:14:00	02:35:15:00	DOES NOT IN ANY WAY MEAN THAT
02:35:15:00	02:35:16:00	THOSE ARE THE RULES OR THIS
02:35:16:00	02:35:18:00	IDEA OF BEST PRACTICES AND WE
02:35:18:00	02:35:21:00	AS A BODY CAN ALWAYS DECIDE
02:35:21:00	02:35:22:00	WHAT THE BEST PRACTICES ARE AND
02:35:22:00	02:35:22:00	THOSE CHANGE IN THE
02:35:22:00	02:35:25:00	ADMINISTRATION OFTENTIMES WANTS
02:35:25:00	02:35:29:00	TO HAVE THEIR PANELIST COME
02:35:29:00	02:35:29:00	FIRST OR THEY CHOOSE WHICH
02:35:29:00	02:35:30:00	PANELIST OR NOT SEND THEM ALL
02:35:30:00	02:35:33:00	AND THEN ALSO ON THE FORMAT
02:35:33:00	02:35:33:00	OF STAYING THROUGH PUBLIC
02:35:33:00	02:35:36:00	TESTIMONY SO WHEN WE'RE
02:35:36:00	02:35:40:00	ALLOWING THE NON ADMINISTRATION
02:35:40:00	02:35:41:00	PANELISTS TO GO FIRST OR WE'RE

02:35:41:00	02:35:44:00	PUBLIC TO COME THE
02:35:44:00	02:35:44:00	ADMINISTRATION PANEL, I THINK
02:35:44:00	02:35:48:00	THAT OFTENTIMES IS MORE
02:35:48:00	02:35:48:00	EFFECTIVE.
02:35:48:00	02:35:49:00	SO I DO WANT TO PUT THAT OUT
02:35:49:00	02:35:50:00	THERE ALSO AND I KNOW WE'LL
02:35:50:00	02:35:52:00	TALK IT AT THE HEARING BUT THAT
02:35:52:00	02:35:55:00	THE ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT SET
02:35:55:00	02:35:56:00	THE RULES OR THE FORMAT FOR THE
02:35:56:00	02:35:56:00	CITY COUNCIL THAT WE SHOULD
02:35:56:00	02:35:59:00	TAKE THAT POWER BACK AND WE
02:35:59:00	02:36:00:00	SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT WE AS A
02:36:00:00	02:36:03:00	BODY STICK UP FOR EACH OTHER ON
02:36:03:00	02:36:03:00	THAT.
02:36:03:00	02:36:04:00	AND WHEN WE HAVE HEARINGS WHERE
02:36:04:00	02:36:06:00	THEY DON'T SHOW UP WHERE THEY
02:36:06:00	02:36:07:00	SAY WELL I HAVE A HARD STOP AND
02:36:07:00	02:36:10:00	I HAVE TO LEAVE, WE'RE ALL BUSY

02:37:01:00	02:37:04:00	I WANT TO RISE AND ACTUALLY SAY
02:37:04:00	02:37:05:00	LIKE KUDOS TO ALL OF YOU AND
02:37:05:00	02:37:08:00	INCLUDING MYSELF WHO TRIES TO
02:37:08:00	02:37:09:00	MAKE IT IN THIS JOB LIKE YOU
02:37:09:00	02:37:12:00	BASICALLY HAVE TO SHOW UP TO
02:37:12:00	02:37:12:00	HEARINGS.
02:37:12:00	02:37:13:00	YOU HAVE TO SHOW UP TO EVENTS
02:37:13:00	02:37:14:00	IN A COMMUNITY AND I HAVE RISEN
02:37:14:00	02:37:16:00	BEFORE AND I'VE SAID HEY, IT'S
02:37:16:00	02:37:17:00	NOT COOL NOT TO SHOW UP TO A
02:37:17:00	02:37:17:00	HEARING.
02:37:17:00	02:37:19:00	SO I'M WITH COUNCILOR QUINN ON
02:37:19:00	02:37:20:00	THAT BUT IT'S GAME TIME AND
02:37:20:00	02:37:20:00	MORE OBSERVATION.
02:37:20:00	02:37:23:00	FOR EXAMPLE JUST NOW WE DID
02:37:23:00	02:37:26:00	HAVE A FAMILY WITH DISABILITY
02:37:26:00	02:37:27:00	IN THE CHAMBER AND I'M ONLY
02:37:27:00	02:37:28:00	STATING THAT BECAUSE I'M
02:37:28:00	02:37:31:00	ACTUALLY FAMILIAR THIS I'VE MET
02:37:31:00	02:37:31:00	THEM BEFORE SO I CAN ACTUALLY
02:37:31:00	02:37:34:00	SAY THAT IT IS SPECIAL BECAUSE
02:37:34:00	02:37:35:00	I'VE CONFIRMED BEFORE AND THEN
02:37:35:00	02:37:38:00	I NOTICE THAT COUNCIL PRESIDENT
02:37:38:00	02:37:38:00	THEN SENT HER CHIEF OF STAFF TO
02:37:38:00	02:37:41:00	GO TALK TO THEM, TO WELCOME
02:37:41:00	02:37:42:00	THEM AND TO MAKE THEM FEEL
02:37:42:00	02:37:42:00	WELCOME.
02:37:42:00	02:37:43:00	SO IF YOU OBSERVE AND YOU LOOK
02:37:43:00	02:37:45:00	AROUND AND YOU'LL SEE PEOPLE
02:37:45:00	02:37:46:00	MAKING DIFFERENT MOVES AND
02:37:46:00	02:37:48:00	TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE DIFFERENT
02:37:48:00	02:37:49:00	PEOPLE SO SOMETIMES IT'S
02:37:49:00	02:37:50:00	BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE FULL
02:37:50:00	02:37:54:00	PERSPECTIVE AND SOMETIMES IT IS
02:37:54:00	02:37:56:00	BECAUSE PEOPLE MAYBE BEING NEW
02:37:56:00	02:37:57:00	NOT NECESSARILY MANAGING AND
02:37:57:00	02:38:00:00	NAVIGATING THE SCHEDULE AND
02:38:00:00	02:38:01:00	THEN I'M GOING TO SPEAK FOR
02:38:01:00	02:38:01:00	MYSELF.
02:38:01:00	02:38:02:00	I'VE HAD THE ASSUMPTION THAT OH
02:38:02:00	02:38:05:00	WELL PEOPLE ARE NOT SHOWING UP,
02:38:05:00	02:38:05:00	NOT COOL.
02:38:05:00	02:38:06:00	THE CONVERSATION IS NOT AS
02:38:06:00	02:38:08:00	ROBUST AS THOUGHT, AS THOROUGH
02:38:08:00	02:38:09:00	AS I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE OR
02:38:09:00	02:38:10:00	FROM THE ADMINISTRATIVE
02:38:10:00	02:38:12:00	PERSPECTIVE THE CONCEPT
02:38:12:00	02:38:13:00	OF MURPHY'S POINT IT WILL IF
02:38:13:00	02:38:14:00	THEY DON'T SHOW UP OR IF THEY
02:38:14:00	02:38:16:00	SHOW UP HALF THE TIME THEN THE
02:38:16:00	02:38:19:00	ASSUMPTION OF ILL INTENT
02:38:19:00	02:38:19:00	SOMETIMES IT'S NATURAL FOR US
02:38:19:00	02:38:20:00	AS HUMAN BEINGS BUT THEN ALSO
02:38:20:00	02:38:23:00	ARE WE HAVE WE HAD
02:38:23:00	02:38:23:00	CONVERSATIONS AND BUILT THOSE
02:38:23:00	02:38:24:00	RELATIONSHIPS TO UNDERSTAND THE
02:38:24:00	02:38:27:00	REAL REASONS WHY PEOPLE ARE
02:38:27:00	02:38:27:00	DOING THAT.
02:38:27:00	02:38:30:00	SO WE'RE ALL RIGHT WHEN WE SAY
02:38:30:00	02:38:31:00	PEOPLE ARE NOT SHOWING UP,
02:38:31:00	02:38:32:00	WE'RE ALL RIGHT WHEN WE SAY
02:38:32:00	02:38:34:00	ADMINISTRATION IS NOT SHOWING
02:38:34:00	02:38:35:00	UP AND THAT'S NOT OKAY THEN IT
02:38:35:00	02:38:38:00	POSES QUESTION OF WHAT WHAT
02:38:38:00	02:38:42:00	WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
02:38:42:00	02:38:42:00	WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN?
02:38:42:00	02:38:43:00	WHERE ARE THE KINKS?
02:38:43:00	02:38:43:00	HOW DO WE FIX IT?
02:38:43:00	02:38:45:00	SO THROUGH THIS CONVERSATION
02:38:45:00	02:38:46:00	HOPEFULLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO
02:38:46:00	02:38:49:00	ALLOW EACH OTHER GRACE AND AND
02:38:49:00	02:38:50:00	LOOK AT THE PROCESSES AND SEE
02:38:50:00	02:38:53:00	IF WE CAN IMPLEMENT AND
02:38:53:00	02:38:53:00	PROTOCOLS.
02:38:53:00	02:38:54:00	HOPEFULLY THEY'RE JUST TOOLS OR
02:38:54:00	02:38:57:00	TEMPORARY THEN WE CAN REVISE IT
02:38:57:00	02:39:00:00	IN WITH WITH THE IDEA IN MIND
02:39:00:00	02:39:01:00	LEAVING ROOM FOR ERROR THAT
02:39:01:00	02:39:03:00	WE'RE NOT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE
02:39:03:00	02:39:04:00	PERFECT AT FIRST AND MAYBE AS
02:39:04:00	02:39:05:00	WE GO WE START EVOLVING THE

02:40:13:00	02:40:14:00	I FILED THIS HEARING ORDER A
02:40:14:00	02:40:16:00	DISCUSSION ON PUBLIC SAFETY AND
02:40:16:00	02:40:17:00	POLICE STAFFING IN BOSTON
02:40:17:00	02:40:17:00	BECAUSE ENSURING THE SAFETY
02:40:17:00	02:40:21:00	OF OUR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS
02:40:21:00	02:40:21:00	SHOULD NEVER BE A QUESTION
02:40:21:00	02:40:22:00	OF WHETHER WE HAVE ENOUGH
02:40:22:00	02:40:26:00	OFFICERS TO DO THE JOB YET THAT
02:40:26:00	02:40:26:00	IS EXACTLY THE SITUATION WE ARE
02:40:26:00	02:40:29:00	FACING.
02:40:29:00	02:40:29:00	BOSTON POLICE STAFFING LEVELS
02:40:29:00	02:40:32:00	ARE DOWN 135 OFFICERS COMPARED
02:40:32:00	02:40:35:00	TO LAST YEAR AND DESPITE
02:40:35:00	02:40:35:00	RECRUITMENT EFFORTS OUR
02:40:35:00	02:40:36:00	OFFICERS ARE STRETCHED THIN,
02:40:36:00	02:40:40:00	OVERWORKED AND INCREASINGLY
02:40:40:00	02:40:40:00	BEING ASKED TO DO MORE WITH
02:40:40:00	02:40:40:00	LESS.
02:40:40:00	02:40:44:00	THIS IS NOT A NEW ISSUE BUT ITS
02:40:44:00	02:40:45:00	IMPACT IS BECOMING MORE EVIDENT
02:40:45:00	02:40:48:00	ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO
02:40:48:00	02:40:48:00	SECURING LARGE PUBLIC EVENTS
02:40:48:00	02:40:52:00	EVENTS THAT DEFINE OUR CITY AND
02:40:52:00	02:40:53:00	SHOULD NOT COME WITH THE RISK
02:40:53:00	02:40:55:00	OF INADEQUATE POLICE COVERAGE.
02:40:55:00	02:40:56:00	TAKE FOR EXAMPLE THE UPCOMING
02:40:56:00	02:40:56:00	ALLIED WAR VETERANS
02:40:56:00	02:40:59:00	COUNCIL PARADE IN MARCH THE ST
02:40:59:00	02:41:00:00	PATRICK'S DAY PARADE IN SOUTH
02:41:00:00	02:41:03:00	BOSTON EVEN WITH A FULL
02:41:03:00	02:41:06:00	DEPARTMENT WIDE CALL UP BPD
02:41:06:00	02:41:07:00	DOES NOT BELIEVE IT HAS ENOUGH
02:41:07:00	02:41:08:00	OFFICERS TO SAFELY STAFF THE
02:41:08:00	02:41:10:00	EVENT.
02:41:10:00	02:41:11:00	AS A RESULT THE CITY WILL HAVE
02:41:11:00	02:41:13:00	TO LEAN HEAVILY ON
02:41:13:00	02:41:14:00	MASSACHUSETTS STATE POLICE AND
02:41:14:00	02:41:14:00	SURROUNDING MUNICIPAL POLICE
02:41:14:00	02:41:17:00	FORCES TO FILL THE GAPS.
02:41:17:00	02:41:20:00	WELL BPD HAS ALWAYS MAINTAINED
02:41:20:00	02:41:21:00	STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER
02:41:21:00	02:41:21:00	DEPARTMENTS.
02:41:21:00	02:41:25:00	OUR GROWING RELIANCE ON OUTSIDE
02:41:25:00	02:41:25:00	AGENCY RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS
02:41:25:00	02:41:28:00	ABOUT BOSTON'S LONG TERM PUBLIC
02:41:28:00	02:41:29:00	SAFETY STRATEGY THE FINANCIAL
02:41:29:00	02:41:33:00	BURDEN IT HAS ON THE CITY AND
02:41:33:00	02:41:34:00	THE WELL-BEING OF OUR OFFICERS.
02:41:34:00	02:41:37:00	THIS HEARING IS NOT JUST ABOUT
02:41:37:00	02:41:38:00	ONE EVENT IT'S ABOUT THE BIGGER
02:41:38:00	02:41:40:00	PICTURE AND I BELIEVE WE NEED
02:41:40:00	02:41:41:00	TO ASK WHAT IS THE CITY'S LONG
02:41:41:00	02:41:44:00	TERM PLAN TO ADDRESS POLICE
02:41:44:00	02:41:44:00	STAFFING SHORTAGES?
02:41:44:00	02:41:48:00	HOW DO THESE SHORTAGES IMPACT
02:41:48:00	02:41:48:00	RESPONSE TIMES, CRIME
02:41:48:00	02:41:51:00	PREVENTION AND EMERGING
02:41:51:00	02:41:52:00	EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS?
02:41:52:00	02:41:55:00	WHAT ARE THE FINANCIAL AND
02:41:55:00	02:41:55:00	LOGISTICAL CONSEQUENCES
02:41:55:00	02:41:59:00	OF INCREASINGLY DEPENDING ON
02:41:59:00	02:41:59:00	EXTERNAL AGENCIES?

02:43:27:00	02:43:28:00	LED TO BURNOUT IN OFFICERS
02:43:28:00	02:43:31:00	TAKING A PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL
02:43:31:00	02:43:32:00	TOLL ON OUR OFFICERS AND THEIR
02:43:32:00	02:43:35:00	FAMILIES.
02:43:35:00	02:43:35:00	WE MUST FOSTER AN ENVIRONMENT
02:43:35:00	02:43:39:00	THAT ALLOWS TO FEEL VALUED
02:43:39:00	02:43:40:00	WHILE BUILDING A STRONG
02:43:40:00	02:43:43:00	RELATIONSHIP WITH RESIDENTS
02:43:43:00	02:43:43:00	THROUGH COMMUNITY POLICING
02:43:43:00	02:43:47:00	HAVING SUFFICIENT POLICE
02:43:47:00	02:43:47:00	STAFFING LEVELS IS CRITICAL TO
02:43:47:00	02:43:51:00	HELP MAKE THE STREETS OF BOSTON
02:43:51:00	02:43:51:00	SAFE FOR ALL NEIGHBORS TO
02:43:51:00	02:43:55:00	IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND QUALITY
02:43:55:00	02:43:55:00	OF LIFE FOR OUR DEDICATED
02:43:55:00	02:44:01:00	POLICE OFFICERS AS WELL.
02:44:01:00	02:44:02:00	IN MY OPINION IT IS NOT OKAY
02:44:02:00	02:44:05:00	FOR OFFICERS TO BE MANDATED TO
02:44:05:00	02:44:05:00	WORK EXCESSIVE HOURS.
02:44:05:00	02:44:08:00	IT IS CRITICAL THAT BOSTON
02:44:08:00	02:44:09:00	POLICE DEPARTMENT CONSISTENTLY
02:44:09:00	02:44:09:00	RECRUIT AND RETAIN POLICE
02:44:09:00	02:44:13:00	OFFICERS.
02:44:13:00	02:44:14:00	THIS IS A PUBLIC HEALTH AND
02:44:14:00	02:44:17:00	PUBLIC SAFETY CRISIS THAT WE
02:44:17:00	02:44:20:00	NEED TO ADDRESS.
02:44:20:00	02:44:21:00	JUST LAST WEEK, AS
02:44:21:00	02:44:24:00	COUNCILMAN MURPHY MENTIONED AT

02:44:28:00	02:44:31:00	ADVANCE OF THE EVACUATION DAY
02:44:31:00	02:44:32:00	PLANNING SINCE MARCH OF LAST
02:44:32:00	02:44:35:00	YEAR I HAVE HELD A MONTHLY
02:44:35:00	02:44:35:00	VIRTUAL MEETING WITH KEY
02:44:35:00	02:44:39:00	STAKEHOLDER IS ABOUT PUBLIC
02:44:39:00	02:44:42:00	SAFETY ISSUES RELATING TO THE
02:44:42:00	02:44:43:00	EVACUATION DAY PARADE, HOW WE
02:44:43:00	02:44:46:00	MOVE FORWARD.
02:44:46:00	02:44:50:00	IT WAS REVEALED BY THE DEPUTY
02:44:50:00	02:44:51:00	SUPERINTENDENT THAT WAS ON THE
02:44:51:00	02:44:52:00	MEETING THAT BOSTON POLICE IS
02:44:52:00	02:44:54:00	DOWN 135 OFFICERS COMPARED TO
02:44:54:00	02:44:57:00	LAST YEAR THE SAME TIME LAST
02:44:57:00	02:44:58:00	THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT STEP TO MY
02:44:58:00	02:45:04:00	FELLOW COLLEAGUES 135 LESS
02:45:04:00	02:45:04:00	BOSTON POLICE OFFICERS RIGHT
02:45:04:00	02:45:08:00	NOW COMPARED TO LAST YEAR IS
02:45:08:00	02:45:11:00	SIGNIFICANT.
02:45:11:00	02:45:11:00	WE NEED TO INCENTIVIZE
02:45:11:00	02:45:15:00	INCENTIVIZE WAYS TO NOT ONLY
02:45:15:00	02:45:15:00	RECRUIT MORE POLICE OFFICERS
02:45:15:00	02:45:19:00	FOR THOSE REASONS BUT ALSO SO
02:45:19:00	02:45:19:00	THAT OUR EXISTING POLICE FORCE
02:45:19:00	02:45:22:00	HAS A WORK LIFE BALANCE THAT
02:45:22:00	02:45:26:00	CAN TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMILIES
02:45:26:00	02:45:27:00	SO THAT THEY ARE ARRESTED WHEN
02:45:27:00	02:45:30:00	THEY'RE ON THE STREETS OR IN
02:45:30:00	02:45:31:00	DIFFICULT SITUATIONS.

02:46:02:00	02:46:05:00	HE OR SHE MAKES A MINOR MISTAKE
02:46:05:00	02:46:06:00	?
02:46:06:00	02:46:06:00	I DON'T THINK SO.
02:46:06:00	02:46:10:00	SO WHY PUT THEM IN THAT
02:46:10:00	02:46:10:00	POSITION TO BEGIN WITH?
02:46:10:00	02:46:14:00	LET'S ACKNOWLEDGE WE HAVE A

02:47:20:00	02:47:21:00	SYRINGE REDEMPTION PROGRAM
02:47:21:00	02:47:24:00	KNOWN AS CE SRP IN BOSTON.
02:47:24:00	02:47:27:00	SINCE ITS LAUNCH IN DECEMBER
02:47:27:00	02:47:27:00	2020, THE SRP HAS PLAYED A
02:47:27:00	02:47:30:00	VITAL ROLE IN ENHANCING PUBLIC
02:47:30:00	02:47:33:00	HEALTH AND SAFETY BY COLLECTING
02:47:33:00	02:47:34:00	APPROXIMATELY 5 MILLION
02:47:34:00	02:47:34:00	SYRINGES.
02:47:34:00	02:47:37:00	HOWEVER, FOLLOWING THE

02:47:53:00	02:47:56:00	SIGNIFICANT RISKS TO PUBLIC
02:47:56:00	02:47:56:00	HEALTH.
02:47:56:00	02:47:57:00	WHILE THE BOSTON PUBLIC HEALTH

02:48:00:00	02:48:00:00	OTHER SYRINGE COLLECTION
02:48:00:00	02:48:03:00	INITIATIVES, THE CSR APPEARS
02:48:03:00	02:48:04:00	UNIQUE APPROACH OFFERING
02:48:04:00	02:48:07:00	INCENTIVES FOR SYRINGE RETURNS
02:48:07:00	02:48:08:00	HAS PROVEN EXCEPTIONALLY
02:48:08:00	02:48:08:00	EFFECTIVE IN REDUCING NEEDLE

02:48:30:00	02:48:34:00	WELL BEYOND NEW MARKET AREA.
02:48:34:00	02:48:37:00	WHAT ONCE WAS CONCENTRATED IN
02:48:37:00	02:48:38:00	THE MASS IN CASS NEIGHBORHOOD
02:48:38:00	02:48:40:00	IS NOW A CITYWIDE CONCERN WITH

02:48:41:00	02:48:44:00	APPEARING ACROSS VARIOUS
02:48:44:00	02:48:44:00	NEIGHBORHOODS.
02:48:44:00	02:48:45:00	RECENT DATA ANALYZED BY THE
02:48:45:00	02:48:49:00	BOSTON PUBLIC HEALTH COMMISSION

02:48:53:00	02:48:53:00	YEAR COMPARED TO THE SAME
02:48:53:00	02:48:56:00	PERIOD LAST YEAR WHICH IS
02:48:56:00	02:48:56:00	PROMISING.
02:48:56:00	02:48:59:00	HOWEVER, THE RISE IN IMPROPERLY
02:48:59:00	02:49:00:00	DISCARDED SYRINGES CONTINUES TO
02:49:00:00	02:49:01:00	POSE A PRESSING PUBLIC HEALTH
02:49:01:00	02:49:04:00	CHALLENGE THAT WE MUST ADDRESS
02:49:04:00	02:49:04:00	IMMEDIATELY.
02:49:04:00	02:49:08:00	THIS HEARING WILL FOCUS ON THE
02:49:08:00	02:49:08:00	IMPACT OF CSPS CLOSURE ON
02:49:08:00	02:49:12:00	PUBLIC SAFETY AND NEEDLE LITTER
02:49:12:00	02:49:12:00	ACROSS BOSTON.
02:49:12:00	02:49:15:00	THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CSP
02:49:15:00	02:49:16:00	COMPARED TO OTHER SYRINGE

02:49:23:00	02:49:23:00	SUSTAINABILITY OF CSP.
02:49:23:00	02:49:27:00	LIKE I SAID EARLIER.
02:49:27:00	02:49:27:00	LIKE MANY THINGS WE'RE FINDING
02:49:27:00	02:49:28:00	OUT.
02:49:28:00	02:49:31:00	GOOD PROGRAM AIMS AND
02:49:31:00	02:49:32:00	IMPLEMENTATIONS OVER THE LAST
02:49:32:00	02:49:35:00	FEW YEARS MANY THEM HAD BEEN
02:49:35:00	02:49:36:00	FUNDED BY TEMPORARY OPERA FUNDS
02:49:36:00	02:49:38:00	THAT ARE GONE NOW FEDERAL
02:49:38:00	02:49:39:00	FUNDS.
02:49:39:00	02:49:39:00	WE'RE SEEING IT IN OUR BOSTON
02:49:39:00	02:49:40:00	SCHOOL BUDGET WHERE THE ESSER
02:49:40:00	02:49:43:00	FUNDS ARE NO LONGER THERE AND
02:49:43:00	02:49:46:00	SO WE DO NEED TO FIND A WAY TO
02:49:46:00	02:49:46:00	HAVE LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY.
02:49:46:00	02:49:50:00	WE HAVE THE DATA, THE EVIDENCE

02:49:51:00	02:49:54:00	THAT THIS PROGRAM WORKED.
02:49:54:00	02:49:55:00	THE QUESTION NOW IS HOW DO WE
02:49:55:00	02:49:58:00	BRING IT BACK AND ENSURE ITS
02:49:58:00	02:49:58:00	CONTINUATION?

02:50:44:00	02:50:44:00	BACK TO WORK PROGRAM, A GREAT
02:50:44:00	02:50:47:00	PROGRAM RAN BY SUE SULLIVAN
02:50:47:00	02:50:47:00	WHERE RECOVERING ADDICTS ARE

02:50:48:00	02:50:51:00	AS THEIR JOB AND PUT THEM ON A
02:50:51:00	02:50:52:00	GOOD PATH WITH GOOD HABITS.
02:50:52:00	02:50:55:00	HOWEVER, WITH THE RECENT
02:50:55:00	02:50:55:00	CRACKDOWNS ON MASKS AND CASTS,
02:50:55:00	02:50:56:00	WE HAVE SEEN ISSUES OF NEEDLES
02:50:56:00	02:50:59:00	SPREAD BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES
02:50:59:00	02:51:00:00	OF THE BACK TO WORK PROGRAM.
02:51:00:00	02:51:00:00	IT HAS SPREAD THERE.

02:51:07:00	02:51:07:00	CITY ARE DISCARDING NEEDLES
02:51:07:00	02:51:10:00	WHERE THE BACK TO WORK PROGRAM
02:51:10:00	02:51:11:00	CANNOT REACH THE MODEL OF THE
02:51:11:00	02:51:14:00	SRP WHERE ACTIVE USERS ARE
02:51:14:00	02:51:14:00	INCENTIVIZED TO PICK UP AFTER
02:51:14:00	02:51:15:00	THEMSELVES WAS EFFECTIVE AND WE
02:51:15:00	02:51:18:00	BELIEVE THIS PROGRAM SHOULD BE

02:51:43:00	02:51:46:00	INCLUDING ME.
02:51:46:00	02:51:49:00	I KNOW THAT THE SRP PROGRAM WAS
02:51:49:00	02:51:49:00	WORKING.
02:51:49:00	02:51:50:00	IT WAS WORKING WELL.
02:51:50:00	02:51:53:00	THE PEOPLE THAT WERE EMPLOYED
02:51:53:00	02:51:54:00	THERE DID A TREMENDOUS JOB.
02:51:54:00	02:51:57:00	THEY WERE PROFESSIONAL.
02:51:57:00	02:51:57:00	THEY PICKED UP THE NEEDLES,
02:51:57:00	02:52:03:00	THEY PROPERLY DISCARDED THEM.
02:52:03:00	02:52:04:00	IT WASN'T JUST AT MASS IN CASE
02:52:04:00	02:52:07:00	IT WAS OTHER AREAS AS WELL WITH
02:52:07:00	02:52:10:00	MASS AND CHAOS BEING THE IT
02:52:10:00	02:52:14:00	BEING EXPANDED THE DRUGS
02:52:14:00	02:52:15:00	SITUATION IS NOW HAPPENING
02:52:15:00	02:52:18:00	THROUGHOUT MANY NEIGHBORHOODS
02:52:18:00	02:52:19:00	OF BOSTON INCLUDING ALMOST
02:52:19:00	02:52:21:00	EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD IN DISTRICT
02:52:21:00	02:52:22:00	TWO THAT I REPRESENT INCLUDING
02:52:22:00	02:52:25:00	ANDREW SQUARE WHICH IS RIGHT
02:52:25:00	02:52:28:00	DOWN THE ROAD FROM MY HOUSE.
02:52:28:00	02:52:32:00	WE ALSO SEE DISCARDED NEEDLES
02:52:32:00	02:52:32:00	THROUGHOUT CHINATOWN.
02:52:32:00	02:52:35:00	WE SEE THEM IN DOWNTOWN BOSTON
02:52:35:00	02:52:36:00	THAT I REPRESENT.
02:52:36:00	02:52:39:00	WE SEE THEM ON BOSTON COMMON.
02:52:39:00	02:52:40:00	WE SEE THEM THROUGHOUT THE
02:52:40:00	02:52:43:00	SOUTH END AS WELL OTHER AREAS
02:52:43:00	02:52:46:00	IN ROXBURY AS WELL.
02:52:46:00	02:52:47:00	BUT I GUESS MY POINT IS THE
02:52:47:00	02:52:51:00	PROGRAM IS WORKING.
02:52:51:00	02:52:51:00	IT WORKED EFFECTIVELY.
02:52:51:00	02:52:54:00	I SPOKE WITH THE TEAM THAT
02:52:54:00	02:52:58:00	WORKED ON THIS ON THIS PROGRAM
02:52:58:00	02:52:58:00	RECENTLY TWO WEEKS AGO AND THEY
02:52:58:00	02:53:02:00	THEY WANT TO WORK THE DESPERATE
02:53:02:00	02:53:02:00	TO WORK.
02:53:02:00	02:53:03:00	THEY WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE
02:53:03:00	02:53:05:00	CITY.
02:53:05:00	02:53:06:00	THEY WERE PROFESSIONAL.
02:53:06:00	02:53:08:00	THEY DID A TREMENDOUS JOB AND
02:53:08:00	02:53:12:00	THE CITY CUT THE PROGRAM WELL
02:53:12:00	02:53:13:00	NOW IT'S BUDGET TIME.
02:53:13:00	02:53:14:00	IS THIS A PRIORITY FOR US AS
02:53:14:00	02:53:17:00	CITY COUNCIL IS TO ENSURE WE
02:53:17:00	02:53:17:00	PROVIDE SAFE AND HEALTHY
02:53:17:00	02:53:20:00	NEIGHBORHOODS AND THAT INCLUDES
02:53:20:00	02:53:24:00	PICKING UP DISCARDED NEEDLES.
02:53:24:00	02:53:24:00	I THINK IT'S WORTH THE FIGHT.
02:53:24:00	02:53:26:00	I THINK IT'S WORTH IT TO HAVE
02:53:26:00	02:53:28:00	THESE DEDICATED AND
02:53:28:00	02:53:28:00	PROFESSIONAL WORKERS ON THE
02:53:28:00	02:53:32:00	STREETS PROVIDING CRITICAL
02:53:32:00	02:53:32:00	SERVICES THAT ARE PROFESSIONAL.
02:53:32:00	02:53:35:00	THE RESULTS ARE EXCEPTIONAL AS
02:53:35:00	02:53:35:00	WELL.
02:53:35:00	02:53:39:00	LET'S GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY
02:53:39:00	02:53:40:00	TO GET BACK TO WORK.
02:53:40:00	02:53:41:00	THESE ARE THE PROGRAMS THAT
02:53:41:00	02:53:43:00	SHOULD NOT BE CUT.
02:53:43:00	02:53:44:00	THEY SHOULD BE EXPANDED.
02:53:44:00	02:53:44:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
02:53:44:00	02:53:44:00	THANK YOU.
02:53:44:00	02:53:47:00	AND I JUST WANT TO SAY I AGREE
02:53:47:00	02:53:48:00	WITH MY COLLEAGUES.
02:53:48:00	02:53:49:00	I THINK THE CSR PROGRAM IS AN
02:53:49:00	02:53:51:00	INCREDIBLE PROGRAM THAT BLOCKS
02:53:51:00	02:53:51:00	FUNDING DUE TO ARPA AND HAPPY
02:53:51:00	02:53:52:00	TO FIGHT ALONGSIDE ALL OF MY
02:53:52:00	02:53:54:00	COLLEAGUES IN THE BUDGET FOR US
02:53:54:00	02:53:55:00	TO ADD MONEY TO THE BUDGET SO
02:53:55:00	02:53:56:00	THAT WE CAN FUND THIS PROGRAM.
02:53:56:00	02:53:59:00	IT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT WE
02:53:59:00	02:54:02:00	HAVE TOO MANY RESIDENTS WHO ARE
02:54:02:00	02:54:02:00	COMPLAINING AND IT ALSO BRINGS
02:54:02:00	02:54:05:00	A LOT OF DIGNITY TO THOSE WHO
02:54:05:00	02:54:06:00	ARE STRUGGLING IN RECOVERY.
02:54:06:00	02:54:07:00	SO I THINK IT WAS A GREAT
02:54:07:00	02:54:09:00	PROGRAM.
02:54:09:00	02:54:10:00	LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM

02:54:17:00	02:54:17:00	THAT WE SHOULD SUPPORT AND
02:54:17:00	02:54:17:00	EXPAND.
02:54:17:00	02:54:20:00	IS ANYONE ELSE LOOKING TO SPEAK
02:54:20:00	02:54:20:00	ON THIS MATTER?

02:54:46:00	02:54:48:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
02:54:48:00	02:54:51:00	I THINK ALL OF US CAN SAY WITH
02:54:51:00	02:54:52:00	OUR EMAILS, TEXTS, PHONE CALLS
02:54:52:00	02:54:55:00	INTO OUR OFFICES SPEED HUMPS
02:54:55:00	02:54:56:00	HAVE BECOME THE NEW RODENT RAT
02:54:56:00	02:55:00:00	CALLS THAT WE'RE GETTING.
02:55:00:00	02:55:01:00	LOTS OF NEIGHBORS WANT TO KNOW
02:55:01:00	02:55:04:00	WHEN THEY ARE STREETS WHERE THE
02:55:04:00	02:55:04:00	WHEN THERE ARE NEIGHBORHOODS
02:55:04:00	02:55:06:00	ARE GOING TO GET THEM.
02:55:06:00	02:55:07:00	BUT I FILED THIS HEARING ORDER
02:55:07:00	02:55:10:00	TO ADDRESS THE ONGOING ISSUE
02:55:10:00	02:55:11:00	OF SPEED HUMPS AND THEIR
02:55:11:00	02:55:11:00	EFFECTIVENESS IN OUR
02:55:11:00	02:55:11:00	NEIGHBORHOODS.
02:55:11:00	02:55:14:00	RECENTLY THE CITY OF BOSTON
02:55:14:00	02:55:15:00	CONDUCTED AN ENGINEERING REVIEW
02:55:15:00	02:55:18:00	OF THE SPEED HUMPS ON ALLENDALE
02:55:18:00	02:55:18:00	STREET FOLLOWING COMMUNITY
02:55:18:00	02:55:22:00	FEEDBACK THAT THEY WERE NOT
02:55:22:00	02:55:22:00	FUNCTIONING AS ATTENDED.
02:55:22:00	02:55:23:00	AS A RESULT THE SPEED HUMPS
02:55:23:00	02:55:25:00	WERE REMOVED.
02:55:25:00	02:55:26:00	THIS SITUATION HIGHLIGHTS THE
02:55:26:00	02:55:29:00	NEED FOR A COMPREHENSIVE AND
02:55:29:00	02:55:30:00	TRANSPARENT APPROACH TO
02:55:30:00	02:55:30:00	EVALUATING TRAFFIC CALMING
02:55:30:00	02:55:33:00	MEASURES IN OUR CITY.
02:55:33:00	02:55:34:00	I THINK IT'S ALSO ANOTHER
02:55:34:00	02:55:37:00	EXAMPLE ABOUT THE CAMERAS ON
02:55:37:00	02:55:37:00	THE SCHOOL BUSSES.
02:55:37:00	02:55:41:00	WHEN CARS WHEN WE NEED SPEED
02:55:41:00	02:55:41:00	HUMPS ON ALL OUR STREETS IT
02:55:41:00	02:55:42:00	MEANS THAT CARS ARE SPEEDING
02:55:42:00	02:55:45:00	AND IF WE JUST ENFORCE THAT WE
02:55:45:00	02:55:48:00	PULLED PEOPLE OVER AND GAVE
02:55:48:00	02:55:48:00	THEM TICKETS FOR SPEEDING ON
02:55:48:00	02:55:49:00	OUR STREETS.
02:55:49:00	02:55:50:00	WE MAY NOT NEED THE SPEED HUMPS
02:55:50:00	02:55:52:00	BUT WHILE SPEED HUMPS ARE
02:55:52:00	02:55:52:00	DESIGNED TO IMPROVE SAFETY.
02:55:52:00	02:55:56:00	THEY ARE NOT A ONE SIZE FITS
02:55:56:00	02:55:56:00	ALL SOLUTION.
02:55:56:00	02:55:57:00	IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT WE
02:55:57:00	02:56:00:00	CONTINUOUSLY ASSESS THEIR
02:56:00:00	02:56:00:00	IMPACT ESPECIALLY IN THE
02:56:00:00	02:56:03:00	CONTEXT OF COMMUNITY FEEDBACK.
02:56:03:00	02:56:04:00	WE MUST ENSURE THAT THE
02:56:04:00	02:56:05:00	MEASURES WE IMPLEMENT ACTUALLY
02:56:05:00	02:56:08:00	ADDRESS THE CONCERNS
02:56:08:00	02:56:08:00	OF RESIDENTS WHILE MAINTAINING
02:56:08:00	02:56:11:00	THE OVERALL SAFETY OF OUR
02:56:11:00	02:56:11:00	STREETS.
02:56:11:00	02:56:12:00	THIS HEARING WILL PROVIDE AN
02:56:12:00	02:56:15:00	OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THE
02:56:15:00	02:56:15:00	EFFECTIVENESS OF SPEED HUMPS AS
02:56:15:00	02:56:16:00	A TRAFFIC SAFETY MEASURE.
02:56:16:00	02:56:20:00	THE PROCESS BY WHICH THE CITY
02:56:20:00	02:56:20:00	COLLECTS IN RESPONSE TO THE
02:56:20:00	02:56:23:00	COMMUNITY FEEDBACK THE
02:56:23:00	02:56:24:00	POTENTIAL FOR OTHER TRAFFIC
02:56:24:00	02:56:27:00	CALMING MEASURES THAT MIGHT BE
02:56:27:00	02:56:28:00	MORE SUITABLE FOR CERTAIN
02:56:28:00	02:56:29:00	NEIGHBORHOODS AND HOW WE CAN
02:56:29:00	02:56:31:00	IMPROVE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN
02:56:31:00	02:56:32:00	RESIDENTS IN THE CITY TO ENSURE
02:56:32:00	02:56:35:00	THAT PUBLIC SAFETY INITIATIVES
02:56:35:00	02:56:35:00	MEET THE NEEDS OF THE
02:56:35:00	02:56:35:00	COMMUNITIES.
02:56:35:00	02:56:38:00	I LOOK FORWARD TO THE HEARING
02:56:38:00	02:56:39:00	FROM CITY OFFICIALS, RESIDENTS

02:56:42:00	02:56:43:00	TOGETHER TO IMPROVE SAFETY ON
02:56:43:00	02:56:46:00	OUR STREETS AND ENSURE THAT OUR
02:56:46:00	02:56:47:00	COMMUNITY'S VOICES ARE HEARD IN
02:56:47:00	02:56:50:00	THE PROCESS.

02:57:11:00	02:57:11:00	FLOOR.
02:57:11:00	02:57:14:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
02:57:14:00	02:57:18:00	SINCE I SINCE I BECAME A CITY
02:57:18:00	02:57:18:00	COUNCILOR SEVEN YEARS AGO I
02:57:18:00	02:57:19:00	HAVE TALKED ABOUT AND FOCUSED
02:57:19:00	02:57:22:00	ON THE ISSUE OF PEDESTRIAN
02:57:22:00	02:57:22:00	RESTAURANT SAFETY.
02:57:22:00	02:57:25:00	IN 2018 I OFFERED A 12 POINT
02:57:25:00	02:57:25:00	PLAN FOLLOWING A TRAGIC CRASH
02:57:25:00	02:57:29:00	WHERE A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE BOY
02:57:29:00	02:57:29:00	LOST HIS LIFE ON ELM STREET IN
02:57:29:00	02:57:30:00	SOUTH BOSTON.
02:57:30:00	02:57:33:00	MY PLAN INCLUDED SPEED HUMPS
02:57:33:00	02:57:37:00	RAISED CROSSWALKS, PEDESTRIAN
02:57:37:00	02:57:37:00	ISLANDS WITH RAPID FLASH
02:57:37:00	02:57:40:00	BEACONS, CURB EXTENSIONS AND
02:57:40:00	02:57:41:00	OTHER TRAFFIC CALMING
02:57:41:00	02:57:41:00	INFRASTRUCTURE.
02:57:41:00	02:57:44:00	IN MY OPINION, SPEEDING CARS
02:57:44:00	02:57:45:00	ARE A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS.
02:57:45:00	02:57:48:00	EVERYONE IS IN A RUSH.
02:57:48:00	02:57:51:00	WE HAVE WE HAVE HAD SO MUCH
02:57:51:00	02:57:51:00	GROWTH.
02:57:51:00	02:57:52:00	WE HAVE HAD SO MANY COMMUNITIES
02:57:52:00	02:57:55:00	CUTTING THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORS
02:57:55:00	02:57:56:00	NEIGHBORHOODS AND SO MANY UBERS
02:57:56:00	02:57:59:00	AND LIFTS THAT ARE UNFAMILIAR
02:57:59:00	02:57:59:00	WITH OUR STREETS.
02:57:59:00	02:58:03:00	WE HAVE MOPEDS, DIRT BIKES,
02:58:03:00	02:58:03:00	SCOOTERS, ELECTRIC BIKES AND
02:58:03:00	02:58:06:00	BIKES GOING THROUGH STOP SIGNS,
02:58:06:00	02:58:09:00	RED LIGHTS THE WRONG WAY ON ONE
02:58:09:00	02:58:10:00	WAY STREETS AND MANEUVERING
02:58:10:00	02:58:13:00	CARS THROUGH CARS IN FRONT
02:58:13:00	02:58:14:00	OF THEM AS RED LIGHTS TURN
02:58:14:00	02:58:14:00	GREEN.
02:58:14:00	02:58:17:00	IT CAN'T BE THE WILD WEST ANY
02:58:17:00	02:58:17:00	LONGER.
02:58:17:00	02:58:18:00	I KNOW THAT THE CITY HAS
02:58:18:00	02:58:21:00	IMPLEMENTED THE SPEED HUMP
02:58:21:00	02:58:21:00	PROGRAM THE SAFETY SEARCH WITH
02:58:21:00	02:58:25:00	THE BEST OF INTENTIONS.
02:58:25:00	02:58:25:00	BUT IN MY OPINION IT WAS
02:58:25:00	02:58:29:00	IMPLEMENTED IN THE EXACT
02:58:29:00	02:58:29:00	OPPOSITE WAY.
02:58:29:00	02:58:30:00	IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRAFFIC
02:58:30:00	02:58:33:00	CALMING INFRASTRUCTURE SHOULD
02:58:33:00	02:58:34:00	HAVE BEEN PLACED ON MAIN
02:58:34:00	02:58:34:00	STREETS, COMMERCIAL ROADS, HIGH
02:58:34:00	02:58:37:00	TRAFFIC CORRIDORS AND BUS
02:58:37:00	02:58:38:00	ROUTES.
02:58:38:00	02:58:41:00	THESE ARE OUR BUSY AREAS AND
02:58:41:00	02:58:42:00	WHERE THE MAJORITY OF VEHICLE
02:58:42:00	02:58:45:00	TRAFFIC AND FOOT TRAFFIC COME
02:58:45:00	02:58:46:00	IN CONFLICT WITH EACH OTHER
02:58:46:00	02:58:49:00	THAT'S COMMON SENSE.
02:58:49:00	02:58:49:00	WHEN YOU GO TO OTHER STATES OR
02:58:49:00	02:58:53:00	EVEN MUNICIPALITIES HERE IN THE
02:58:53:00	02:58:53:00	STATE LIKE QUINCY AT QUINCY
02:58:53:00	02:58:57:00	CENTER FOR EXAMPLE, YOU SEE RES
02:58:57:00	02:58:58:00	CROSSWALKS ON THE MAIN ROADS IN
02:58:58:00	02:58:58:00	COMMERCIAL AREAS.
02:58:58:00	02:59:01:00	AGAIN THAT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE
02:59:01:00	02:59:04:00	THAT IS WHERE THE MAJORITY
02:59:04:00	02:59:05:00	OF VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIAN FOOT
02:59:05:00	02:59:05:00	TRAFFIC IS.
02:59:05:00	02:59:08:00	YOU WANT RESIDENTS AND VISITORS
02:59:08:00	02:59:12:00	TO FEEL SAFE COMING CROSSING
02:59:12:00	02:59:12:00	THE ROAD IN A SHOPPING
02:59:12:00	02:59:13:00	DISTRICT, GOING TO A BALL FIELD
02:59:13:00	02:59:16:00	OR OUTSIDE TO A SENIOR CENTER
02:59:16:00	02:59:17:00	INSTEAD OF PUTTING A FEW
02:59:17:00	02:59:20:00	OF THESE RAISED CROSSWALKS OR
02:59:20:00	02:59:21:00	SPEED HUMPS AND PEDESTRIAN
02:59:21:00	02:59:24:00	ISLANDS THE STREETS IN
02:59:24:00	02:59:24:00	STRATEGIC SPOTS OF HIGH FOOT
02:59:24:00	02:59:25:00	TRAFFIC.
02:59:25:00	02:59:28:00	THE CITY PUT ZONES AND DOZENS
02:59:28:00	02:59:32:00	OF DOZENS OF THEM ON SIDE
02:59:32:00	02:59:32:00	STREETS.
02:59:32:00	02:59:33:00	YOU COULD HAVE PUT THEM AT A
02:59:33:00	02:59:36:00	CROSSWALK OF HEAVY FOOT TRAFFIC
02:59:36:00	02:59:36:00	ON A MAIN STREET LIKE WALGREENS
02:59:36:00	02:59:40:00	AND STOP AND SHOP ON EAST
02:59:40:00	02:59:40:00	BROADWAY IN SOUTH BOSTON OR M
02:59:40:00	02:59:43:00	STREET AND END STREET WHERE
02:59:43:00	02:59:44:00	PARENTS AND KIDS CROSS BROADWAY
02:59:44:00	02:59:47:00	OR GO TO MEDAL OF HONOR POP AND
02:59:47:00	02:59:48:00	CROSS IN CARS AND BUSSES OFTEN
02:59:48:00	02:59:52:00	SPEED UP AND DOWN A HILL.
02:59:52:00	02:59:52:00	YOU COULD PUT THEM ON
02:59:52:00	02:59:55:00	DORCHESTER STREET ACROSS IN THE
02:59:55:00	02:59:55:00	MARIAN MANOR.
02:59:55:00	02:59:59:00	IN MY OPINION THE CITY DID IT
02:59:59:00	03:00:00:00	THIS WAY CURRENTLY BECAUSE BTD
03:00:00:00	03:00:03:00	CONTINUES TO IMPLEMENT A
03:00:03:00	03:00:04:00	COMBINATION OF ROAD DIETS AND
03:00:04:00	03:00:07:00	BIKE LANES ACROSS THE CITY
03:00:07:00	03:00:08:00	STREETS AND COMMERCIAL CAR US
03:00:08:00	03:00:12:00	WHEN CARS BECOME FRUSTRATED
03:00:12:00	03:00:12:00	WITH THE TRAFFIC THEY CUT
03:00:12:00	03:00:15:00	THROUGH SIDE STREETS THEY HAD
03:00:15:00	03:00:16:00	PREVIOUSLY NEVER BEEN TO AND
03:00:16:00	03:00:19:00	THEY DO NOT SLOW DOWN.
03:00:19:00	03:00:20:00	THE CITY WILL SAY THEY NEED TO
03:00:20:00	03:00:23:00	RIGHT SIZE THE ROAD.
03:00:23:00	03:00:24:00	BUT ALMOST SEVEN YEARS AFTER A
03:00:24:00	03:00:27:00	TRAGIC ACCIDENT ON OUR STREET
03:00:27:00	03:00:28:00	WHICH WE ALL KNOW IS ONE OF THE
03:00:28:00	03:00:31:00	MOST NARROW ROADS IN THE CITY
03:00:31:00	03:00:31:00	OF BOSTON, CARS CONTINUE TO FLY
03:00:31:00	03:00:34:00	UP AND DOWN THE STREET WITH
03:00:34:00	03:00:38:00	EXCESSIVE SPEED, HIGH SPEED
03:00:38:00	03:00:38:00	FEEDBACK SIGN MAY SAY 20 MILES
03:00:38:00	03:00:42:00	PER HOUR TODAY BUT THAT DOES
03:00:42:00	03:00:43:00	NOTHING TO MAKE THAT CAR GO
03:00:43:00	03:00:43:00	SLOWER DEGRADING THESE
03:00:43:00	03:00:46:00	INTERSECTIONS ONLY HELPS
03:00:46:00	03:00:47:00	RESIDENTS SEE THAT THE CAR
03:00:47:00	03:00:49:00	COMING FROM THE HIGHWAY ARE
03:00:49:00	03:00:50:00	GOING VERY FAST.
03:00:50:00	03:00:50:00	THE NARROW ROAD DOESN'T
03:00:50:00	03:00:54:00	ENCOURAGE SLOWER DRIVING JUST
03:00:54:00	03:00:54:00	BECAUSE IT'S NARROWER.
03:00:54:00	03:00:57:00	RESIDENTS ONLY CROSS AT A RED
03:00:57:00	03:00:57:00	LIGHT.
03:00:57:00	03:00:58:00	CHIEF FRANKLIN HODGE SAID THAT
03:00:58:00	03:01:01:00	THEY CAN'T IMPLEMENT RAISE
03:01:01:00	03:01:01:00	TRAFFIC CALMING ON HIGH TRAFFIC
03:01:01:00	03:01:05:00	ROADS BECAUSE OF FIRST
03:01:05:00	03:01:05:00	RESPONDERS.
03:01:05:00	03:01:08:00	HOWEVER, AT A CITY
03:01:08:00	03:01:09:00	COUNCIL HEARING LAST YEAR THE
03:01:09:00	03:01:09:00	BOSTON FIRE COMMISSIONER
03:01:09:00	03:01:13:00	INFORMED US THAT IS NOT AN
03:01:13:00	03:01:13:00	ISSUE.
03:01:13:00	03:01:15:00	AND AGAIN, THE CITY OF QUINCY
03:01:15:00	03:01:16:00	NEWTON, NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND
03:01:16:00	03:01:19:00	WE ALL SEE RAISED TRAFFIC
03:01:19:00	03:01:20:00	CALMING INFRASTRUCTURE ON HIGH
03:01:20:00	03:01:23:00	TRAFFIC ROADS.
03:01:23:00	03:01:24:00	THANK YOU, COUNCILOR.
03:01:24:00	03:01:27:00	I'M JUST BEEPED A WHILE AGO SO
03:01:27:00	03:01:27:00	JUST IF YOU COULD WRAP IT UP,
03:01:27:00	03:01:28:00	THAT'D BE GREAT.
03:01:28:00	03:01:28:00	THANK YOU.
03:01:28:00	03:01:29:00	IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS, THIS IS
03:01:29:00	03:01:31:00	A CHOICE THE CITY IS MAKING TO
03:01:31:00	03:01:32:00	IMPLEMENT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL
03:01:32:00	03:01:34:00	APPROACH OF ROAD DIETS AND BIKE
03:01:34:00	03:01:35:00	LANES ON HIGH TRAFFIC CORRIDORS
03:01:35:00	03:01:39:00	OVER RAISED TRAFFIC CALMING
03:01:39:00	03:01:39:00	INFRASTRUCTURE TO SLOW SPEEDING
03:01:39:00	03:01:42:00	CARS INSTEAD OF COMPROMISING
03:01:42:00	03:01:43:00	WITH BIKE LANES OR ALTERNATIVE
03:01:43:00	03:01:43:00	ROUTES.
03:01:43:00	03:01:47:00	WHEN THE CITY IMPLEMENTED BOTH
03:01:47:00	03:01:47:00	A BUSTLING AND A BIKE LANE ON
03:01:47:00	03:01:50:00	BOYLSTON STREET LAST SUMMER
03:01:50:00	03:01:51:00	WITHOUT COMMUNITY PROCESS FOR
03:01:51:00	03:01:51:00	NEIGHBORS AND BACK BAY
03:01:51:00	03:01:55:00	BUSINESSES, A GLOBE EDITORIAL
03:01:55:00	03:01:55:00	WRITTEN BY BRIAN MCGRORY SAID
03:01:55:00	03:01:58:00	IT BEST IT'S LIKE SOMEONE IS
03:01:58:00	03:01:59:00	TRYING TO PROVE A POINT.
03:01:59:00	03:02:01:00	I WANT TO BE CLEAR.
03:02:01:00	03:02:02:00	RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES ARE
03:02:02:00	03:02:03:00	SAYING CYCLISTS DON'T MATTER.
03:02:03:00	03:02:06:00	THEY DO.
03:02:06:00	03:02:07:00	BUT NEIGHBORS AND BUSINESSES
03:02:07:00	03:02:09:00	ARE ALSO SAYING WE NEED TO PLAN
03:02:09:00	03:02:10:00	TO HAVE ENOUGH ROAD SPACE FOR
03:02:10:00	03:02:12:00	OUR BRAVE FIRST RESPONDERS IN
03:02:12:00	03:02:13:00	THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY LIKE
03:02:13:00	03:02:16:00	A FIRE OR A HEART ATTACK OR
03:02:16:00	03:02:17:00	DURING A SNOWSTORM THAT WE ARE
03:02:17:00	03:02:20:00	MINDFUL OF THE DIFFICULTIES
03:02:20:00	03:02:20:00	OF SMALL BUSINESSES TO UNLOAD
03:02:20:00	03:02:24:00	PRODUCTS AND SO THAT DELIVERY
03:02:24:00	03:02:25:00	DRIVERS GET THEIR GOODS TO A
03:02:25:00	03:02:27:00	PARTICULAR RESTAURANT OR
03:02:27:00	03:02:28:00	BUSINESS.
03:02:28:00	03:02:31:00	PARENTS WITH STROLLERS JUST
03:02:31:00	03:02:32:00	WANT TO BE ABLE TO CROSS THE
03:02:32:00	03:02:32:00	STREET SAFELY.
03:02:32:00	03:02:35:00	THE CITY IS STRUGGLING WITH
03:02:35:00	03:02:39:00	INFRASTRUCTURE AND
03:02:39:00	03:02:39:00	TRANSPORTATION RELATED ISSUES
03:02:39:00	03:02:42:00	AND WE ARE MAKING IT MORE
03:02:42:00	03:02:43:00	DIFFICULT WITH THESE CHOICES
03:02:43:00	03:02:44:00	THAT LEAVE OUR NEIGHBORS AND
03:02:44:00	03:02:47:00	BUSINESSES WITH DECADES
03:02:47:00	03:02:47:00	OF INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE.

03:03:56:00	03:03:59:00	SO WE'RE EXPECTING IT ANY DAY
03:03:59:00	03:03:59:00	NOW.
03:03:59:00	03:04:00:00	SO WE CAN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT
03:04:00:00	03:04:03:00	SPEED BUMPS BECAUSE WE DON'T
03:04:03:00	03:04:03:00	HAVE THEM.
03:04:03:00	03:04:07:00	WE HAVE A LOT OF A LOT OF THE
03:04:07:00	03:04:07:00	ISSUES ALREADY MENTIONED LIKE
03:04:07:00	03:04:11:00	CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC DRIVEN BY
03:04:11:00	03:04:14:00	WAYS WE HAVE A RESIDENTIAL SIDE
03:04:14:00	03:04:15:00	STREET THAT WHEN WE DID THE
03:04:15:00	03:04:17:00	ALLSTON BRIGHTON MOBILITY STUDY
03:04:17:00	03:04:21:00	IN 2018 2017 2018 IT'S A ONE
03:04:21:00	03:04:22:00	WAY STREET TO CUT THROUGH FROM
03:04:22:00	03:04:25:00	NEWTON DRIVERS AND THEY'RE
03:04:25:00	03:04:26:00	STILL DOING IT 20 MILES AN HOUR
03:04:26:00	03:04:29:00	DOWN A QUIET RESIDENTIAL
03:04:29:00	03:04:29:00	STREET.
03:04:29:00	03:04:32:00	IT'S THE FASTEST FASTEST STREET
03:04:32:00	03:04:36:00	AND IN AND ALLSTON BRIGHTON
03:04:36:00	03:04:37:00	WHICH IS QUITE ASTOUNDING
03:04:37:00	03:04:40:00	BECAUSE WHEN CARS LOSE CONTROL
03:04:40:00	03:04:40:00	THE DRIVER LOSE CONTROL ON A
03:04:40:00	03:04:43:00	SLIGHT BEND THEY'RE WRITING OFF
03:04:43:00	03:04:46:00	THREE AND FOUR CARS IN ONE AT
03:04:46:00	03:04:47:00	ONE INCIDENT.
03:04:47:00	03:04:50:00	SO I THINK THIS QUESTION IS
03:04:50:00	03:04:51:00	REALLY OUR PRIMARY CONCERN IS
03:04:51:00	03:04:55:00	TO INCREASE THE SAFETY FOR ALL
03:04:55:00	03:04:58:00	OF OUR ROAD USERS BICYCLISTS SO
03:04:58:00	03:05:01:00	PEDESTRIANS AND DRIVERS AND WE
03:05:01:00	03:05:02:00	NEED TO EXPLORE ALL THE
03:05:02:00	03:05:03:00	DIFFERENT TOOLS THAT WE HAVE
03:05:03:00	03:05:06:00	FOR TRAFFIC CALMING.
03:05:06:00	03:05:06:00	I DON'T THINK WE'RE USING THE
03:05:06:00	03:05:09:00	FULL BANDWIDTH THAT IS POSSIBLE
03:05:09:00	03:05:09:00	.
03:05:09:00	03:05:10:00	I THINK RAILS CROSSWALKS WHEN
03:05:10:00	03:05:14:00	YOU WHEN YOU GO TO NEWTON I
03:05:14:00	03:05:14:00	KNOW YOU HAVE GOT A NEW
03:05:14:00	03:05:15:00	CROSSOVER INTO BROOKLYN THEY
03:05:15:00	03:05:17:00	HAVE CROSSWALKS PERIODICALLY
03:05:17:00	03:05:18:00	AND ALONG WINCHESTER STREET
03:05:18:00	03:05:21:00	THAT CONNECTS ALLSTON BRIGHTON
03:05:21:00	03:05:24:00	WITH COOLIDGE CORNER AND IT'S A
03:05:24:00	03:05:25:00	VERY EFFECTIVE WAY TO SLOW DOWN
03:05:25:00	03:05:28:00	TRAFFIC ON A ON A VERY BUSY
03:05:28:00	03:05:29:00	VERY FAST STRETCH OF ROAD THE
03:05:29:00	03:05:32:00	STREET SO I THINK WE NEED TO
03:05:32:00	03:05:36:00	JUST REALLY ENCOURAGE AGAIN THE
03:05:36:00	03:05:36:00	BIG ISSUE IS IS FINANCES AND
03:05:36:00	03:05:39:00	CAPITAL AND THE CAPITAL
03:05:39:00	03:05:40:00	INVESTMENT IS SIGNIFICANT BUT
03:05:40:00	03:05:44:00	WE REALLY DO NEED TO TRY AND
03:05:44:00	03:05:45:00	SEE IDENTIFY AREAS AND TRY AND
03:05:45:00	03:05:47:00	GET A MORE EQUITABLE APPROACH
03:05:47:00	03:05:48:00	ACROSS THE WHOLE CITY BECAUSE
03:05:48:00	03:05:51:00	WE WERE WE ARE BEGGING FOR
03:05:51:00	03:05:52:00	CROSS AND SPEED BUMPS IN
03:05:52:00	03:05:55:00	AWESOME BRIGHTON AND WE'RE
03:05:55:00	03:05:55:00	STILL WAITING.
03:05:55:00	03:05:56:00	I'M SURE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD
03:05:56:00	03:05:58:00	THEM FOR A WHILE BUT I THINK
03:05:58:00	03:05:59:00	TRYING TO USE ALL THE TOOLS IN
03:05:59:00	03:06:00:00	THE BOX.
03:06:00:00	03:06:02:00	THE OTHER THING THAT HAPPENS IS
03:06:02:00	03:06:03:00	WHEN WE HAVE A BIG DEVELOPMENT
03:06:03:00	03:06:06:00	THEY MAKE A COMMITMENT TO BUILD
03:06:06:00	03:06:06:00	A RACE CROSSWALKS AND TRAFFIC
03:06:06:00	03:06:09:00	CALMING IN THE VICINITY OF OF
03:06:09:00	03:06:10:00	THE DEVELOPMENT BUT AS THE
03:06:10:00	03:06:13:00	DEVELOPMENT STALLS IT GETS
03:06:13:00	03:06:13:00	APPROVAL BUT IT NEVER GETS
03:06:13:00	03:06:14:00	BUILT FOR YEARS.
03:06:14:00	03:06:17:00	THEN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS LEFT
03:06:17:00	03:06:18:00	WAITING FOR YEARS TO HAVE THAT
03:06:18:00	03:06:20:00	INVESTMENT IN OUR LOCAL
03:06:20:00	03:06:20:00	PEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTURE IN
03:06:20:00	03:06:21:00	THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
03:06:21:00	03:06:24:00	SO ALL OF THESE THINGS
03:06:24:00	03:06:24:00	CONTRIBUTE TO THE SITUATION WE
03:06:24:00	03:06:25:00	FIND OURSELVES IN.
03:06:25:00	03:06:25:00	THANK YOU.
03:06:25:00	03:06:25:00	THANK YOU.
03:06:25:00	03:06:28:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
03:06:28:00	03:06:29:00	COUNCILOR FOR CHAIR OF THE
03:06:29:00	03:06:29:00	COUNCIL JODY HAVE THE FLOOR.
03:06:29:00	03:06:31:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
03:06:31:00	03:06:32:00	AS A PARENT THERE REALLY IS NO
03:06:32:00	03:06:33:00	BIGGER FEAR FOR MYSELF
03:06:33:00	03:06:35:00	PERSONALLY ANYWAY THAN VEHICLES
03:06:35:00	03:06:36:00	WHEN IT COMES TO THE SAFETY
03:06:36:00	03:06:36:00	OF OUR CHILDREN.
03:06:36:00	03:06:38:00	AS WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER.
03:06:38:00	03:06:42:00	BUT TWO QUICK TIDBITS ON THIS
03:06:42:00	03:06:42:00	ONE I THINK IT'S SOMETHING I'VE
03:06:42:00	03:06:43:00	TRIED TO ADVOCATE FOR
03:06:43:00	03:06:45:00	INTERNALLY BUT I THINK
03:06:45:00	03:06:46:00	ESPECIALLY FOR A DISTRICT CITY
03:06:46:00	03:06:47:00	COUNCILOR BUT ALL OF US AS
03:06:47:00	03:06:50:00	COUNCILORS SHOULD BE ABLE TO
03:06:50:00	03:06:53:00	SUBMIT TO BTD A LIST OF ABOUT
03:06:53:00	03:06:53:00	20 STREETS.
03:06:53:00	03:06:54:00	US WHO ARE ON THE GROUND KNOW
03:06:54:00	03:06:56:00	THE CUT CREWS KNOW WHERE PEOPLE
03:06:56:00	03:06:57:00	SPEAK, KNOW WHICH CORNERS ARE
03:06:57:00	03:06:59:00	ACCIDENTAL OR NOT AND ADVOCATE
03:06:59:00	03:07:00:00	TO BE PROACTIVE ON THOSE BY
03:07:00:00	03:07:03:00	HANDING IN A LIST OF STREETS
03:07:03:00	03:07:03:00	THAT THEY COULD PERHAPS DO
03:07:03:00	03:07:04:00	BEFORE THEY DO IT.
03:07:04:00	03:07:07:00	I KNOW THEY DO IT IN ZONES WHEN
03:07:07:00	03:07:07:00	THEY PUT THEM OUT THERE BUT IF
03:07:07:00	03:07:08:00	WE WERE ABLE TO JUST SAY HEY,
03:07:08:00	03:07:11:00	GET THESE STREETS FIRST, THESE
03:07:11:00	03:07:12:00	ARE THE MAIN OFFENDERS I THINK
03:07:12:00	03:07:14:00	PEOPLE THE COMMUNITY WOULD FEEL
03:07:14:00	03:07:15:00	HEARD AND AGAIN, WE'RE BEING
03:07:15:00	03:07:18:00	PROACTIVE ABOUT A SITUATION.
03:07:18:00	03:07:19:00	AND THE SECOND THING IS I KNOW
03:07:19:00	03:07:21:00	THAT THERE IS THE EMERGENCY
03:07:21:00	03:07:22:00	VEHICLE ISSUE.
03:07:22:00	03:07:23:00	I JUST POINT THIS OUT NOW MORE
03:07:23:00	03:07:25:00	FOR THE HEARING BUT THERE IS A
03:07:25:00	03:07:26:00	WAY TO DO IT WHERE YOU CAN MAKE
03:07:26:00	03:07:29:00	THE AREAS THAT ARE THE WIDTH
03:07:29:00	03:07:29:00	OF AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE ALLOWED
03:07:29:00	03:07:30:00	AND THE SPEED BUMP IS STILL
03:07:30:00	03:07:33:00	EFFECTIVE FOR A REGULAR CAR AND
03:07:33:00	03:07:34:00	SO EMERGENCY VEHICLES CAN TRY
03:07:34:00	03:07:37:00	AND AT LEAST DRIVE THROUGH WITH
03:07:37:00	03:07:38:00	SOME OF THAT SAFETY ISSUE IS
03:07:38:00	03:07:38:00	MEASURED.
03:07:38:00	03:07:41:00	SO JUST THOUGHT I'D BRING THAT
03:07:41:00	03:07:42:00	UP NOW MIGHT BE WORTH IT BUT
03:07:42:00	03:07:42:00	THANK YOU VERY MUCH JEFF.
03:07:42:00	03:07:42:00	THANK YOU.
03:07:42:00	03:07:45:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES

03:07:46:00	03:07:46:00	FLOOR.
03:07:46:00	03:07:47:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH.
03:07:47:00	03:07:49:00	COUNCIL PRESIDENT I KNOW THIS
03:07:49:00	03:07:50:00	IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT
03:07:50:00	03:07:50:00	CONVERSATION AND THAT THERE WAS
03:07:50:00	03:07:53:00	A SIMILAR FILING LAST WEEK SO
03:07:53:00	03:07:57:00	AS THE CHAIR OF PLANNING
03:07:57:00	03:07:57:00	DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSPORTATION
03:07:57:00	03:07:58:00	I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT I
03:07:58:00	03:08:00:00	WILL PLAN TO PUT THESE TWO
03:08:00:00	03:08:01:00	CONVERSATIONS ABOUT SPEED HUMPS
03:08:01:00	03:08:04:00	TOGETHER THIS CONVERSATION
03:08:04:00	03:08:05:00	COULDN'T BE MORE IMPORTANT TO
03:08:05:00	03:08:05:00	ME.
03:08:05:00	03:08:08:00	THERE IS A CONSTITUENT HIT IN
03:08:08:00	03:08:12:00	MICHELLE WHERE THERE HAD BEEN
03:08:12:00	03:08:16:00	SPEED HUMPS REQUESTED AND I HAD
03:08:16:00	03:08:16:00	JUST FOUGHT TO GET FOUR SPEED
03:08:16:00	03:08:19:00	HUMPS PUT INTO DEVELOPMENT
03:08:19:00	03:08:20:00	MITIGATION FOR THIS PARTICULAR
03:08:20:00	03:08:24:00	PROJECT AND THEN YESTERDAY SAW
03:08:24:00	03:08:24:00	THE VIDEO OF THE CONSTITUENT
03:08:24:00	03:08:28:00	THAT WAS HIT AT A HIGH SPEED
03:08:28:00	03:08:28:00	AND MISSION HOUSE.
03:08:28:00	03:08:30:00	SO I OFTENTIMES WHEN
03:08:30:00	03:08:31:00	CONSTITUENTS ARE RAISING THE
03:08:31:00	03:08:32:00	ALARM THEY'RE RAISING IT
03:08:32:00	03:08:34:00	BECAUSE THEY SEE IT ON THE
03:08:34:00	03:08:35:00	DAILY AND THEY SEE IT ON THE
03:08:35:00	03:08:35:00	GROUND.
03:08:35:00	03:08:36:00	SO I THINK THIS IS SUCH AN
03:08:36:00	03:08:39:00	IMPORTANT CONVERSATION AND I
03:08:39:00	03:08:39:00	CAN'T WAIT TO CONVENE IT IN MY
03:08:39:00	03:08:40:00	COMMITTEE.

03:08:40:00	03:08:43:00	WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO

03:08:55:00	03:08:58:00	PART THIS CONVERSATION
03:08:58:00	03:08:59:00	ALLERDALE IS IN MY DISTRICT AND
03:08:59:00	03:09:01:00	I THINK ILLUSTRATES THE
03:09:01:00	03:09:02:00	CHALLENGES OF THIS ISSUE.
03:09:02:00	03:09:06:00	I EVERYONE IN OUR DISTRICT OR I
03:09:06:00	03:09:08:00	THINK ACROSS THE CITY WANTS
03:09:08:00	03:09:09:00	SAFE ROADS AND HAS ADVOCATED
03:09:09:00	03:09:13:00	FOR SPEED HUMPS.
03:09:13:00	03:09:13:00	THEY WENT INTO ALLENDALE AND
03:09:13:00	03:09:14:00	THERE WAS AN OUTCRY ABOUT HOW
03:09:14:00	03:09:17:00	MANY SPEED HUMPS AND THE SIZE
03:09:17:00	03:09:18:00	OF THE SPEED HUMPS I KNOW STATE

03:09:28:00	03:09:29:00	AND REMOVING THE SPEED HUMPS
03:09:29:00	03:09:32:00	OF COURSE NO SURPRISE THEY
03:09:32:00	03:09:35:00	REMOVED THE SPEED HUMPS ABOUT 8
03:09:35:00	03:09:37:00	A.M. ON SATURDAY BY 30 I HAD A

03:09:39:00	03:09:41:00	SPEED HUMPS?
03:09:41:00	03:09:42:00	SO I THINK IT'S I HEAR

03:11:24:00	03:11:27:00	THE EXPENSE OF OUR CITY'S
03:11:27:00	03:11:27:00	LARGEST AND MOST HISTORIC PARK.

03:11:56:00	03:11:59:00	MOVING FORWARD.
03:11:59:00	03:12:00:00	THAT IS WHY A STAND ALONE

04:02:33:00	04:02:37:00	COUNSELOR MEJIA BECAUSE I'M

04:02:39:00	04:02:39:00	, MADAM PRESIDENT.
04:02:39:00	04:02:43:00	I JUST THINK THAT I.
04:02:43:00	04:02:44:00	I DON'T KNOW.
04:02:44:00	04:02:46:00	THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT
04:02:46:00	04:02:47:00	WERE ASKED.
04:02:47:00	04:02:48:00	I'M JUST I THINK I'D JUST LIKE
04:02:48:00	04:02:50:00	TO OFFER A RECOMMENDATION.
04:02:50:00	04:02:51:00	AND IN TERMS OF PROCESSES HERE,
04:02:51:00	04:02:55:00	I THINK THERE WAS A LOT
04:02:55:00	04:02:55:00	OF QUESTIONS ASKED AND I THINK
04:02:55:00	04:02:56:00	THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKED
04:02:56:00	04:02:59:00	TO TAKE VOTES, I THINK THAT WE
04:02:59:00	04:03:02:00	SHOULD BE GIVEN ADVANCE NOTICE
04:03:02:00	04:03:02:00	ON VOTES BUT PARTICULARLY WHEN
04:03:02:00	04:03:06:00	WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MONEY.
04:03:06:00	04:03:07:00	AND I ALSO THINK THAT IF
04:03:07:00	04:03:09:00	ESPECIALLY IF IT'S NOT IN A
04:03:09:00	04:03:10:00	DEADLINE OR A TIMELINE THAT
04:03:10:00	04:03:13:00	IT'S NOT A GOOD PRACTICE TO
04:03:13:00	04:03:14:00	JUST PUT SOMETHING ON THE FLOOR
04:03:14:00	04:03:17:00	FROM THE GREEN SHEETS JUST FOR
04:03:17:00	04:03:22:00	A VOTE, I JUST I JUST FEEL LIKE
04:03:22:00	04:03:22:00	I FEEL LIKE WE KEEP DOING THIS
04:03:22:00	04:03:25:00	AND IT WOULD JUST HELP ME FOR
04:03:25:00	04:03:26:00	CONSISTENCY IF WE IF YOU COULD
04:03:26:00	04:03:29:00	RECOMMEND SOME NORMS IN TERMS
04:03:29:00	04:03:32:00	OF WHEN WE CAN PULL SOMETHING
04:03:32:00	04:03:33:00	FOR THE GREEN SHE IF IT'S IF
04:03:33:00	04:03:36:00	THERE'S NO DEADLINE IF THERE'S
04:03:36:00	04:03:40:00	YOU KNOW IF I JUST FEEL LIKE IF
04:03:40:00	04:03:40:00	WE JUST KEEP DOING IT WE'RE NOT
04:03:40:00	04:03:41:00	GOING TO SET ANY STANDARDS
04:03:41:00	04:03:43:00	WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO
04:03:43:00	04:03:44:00	SAY WELL THIS WAS DONE THIS
04:03:44:00	04:03:45:00	TIME AND THEN THERE ARE OTHER
04:03:45:00	04:03:48:00	TIMES WHEN PEOPLE WANT TO DO IT
04:03:48:00	04:03:48:00	AND WE CAN'T.
04:03:48:00	04:03:50:00	SO I JUST THINK FOR THE SAKE
04:03:50:00	04:03:51:00	OF JUST BEING CONSISTENT I JUST
04:03:51:00	04:03:55:00	WOULD OFFER THAT WE FIGURE OUT
04:03:55:00	04:03:56:00	SOMETHING THAT IS NORMAL THAT
