00:10:40:00	00:10:43:00	HIMSELF AN APARTMENT THERE SO
00:10:43:00	00:10:44:00	HE COULD ESCORT KIDS TO SCHOOL
00:10:44:00	00:10:48:00	SO HE COULD HELP THE ELDERLY GO

00:34:17:00	00:34:20:00	BE PLACED INTO COMMITTEE SO IF

01:01:24:00	01:01:25:00	IS SPENT THE WAY THAT WE THINK
01:01:25:00	01:01:27:00	IT SHOULD BE SPENT.

01:02:01:00	01:02:01:00	IMPORTANT CORRIDORS IN THE CITY
01:02:01:00	01:02:02:00	OF BOSTON AND I THINK
01:02:02:00	01:02:05:00	COUNCILOR ANDERSON WOULD TELL
01:02:05:00	01:02:06:00	US THAT'S THE HEART OF BOSTON.
01:02:06:00	01:02:09:00	WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS

01:02:10:00	01:02:11:00	THAT ROXBURY IS INCREDIBLY
01:02:11:00	01:02:13:00	IMPORTANT TO THE CITY AND THAT
01:02:13:00	01:02:16:00	THESE THREE CORRIDORS COULD RUN
01:02:16:00	01:02:17:00	MORE EFFECTIVELY AND
01:02:17:00	01:02:17:00	EFFICIENTLY.
01:02:17:00	01:02:20:00	SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU

01:03:04:00	01:03:04:00	OF THESE DOCKETS.
01:03:04:00	01:03:07:00	I THINK PEOPLE KNOW WHAT MY
01:03:07:00	01:03:08:00	POSITION IS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE

01:03:30:00	01:03:33:00	TO IT BUT I THINK GOING FORWARD
01:03:33:00	01:03:34:00	IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE WE DO
01:03:34:00	01:03:38:00	HAVE HEARINGS PUBLIC HEARINGS

01:33:29:00	01:33:33:00	APPLICABILITY OF THE ORDINANCE
01:33:33:00	01:33:33:00	, THE COMMITTEE DISCUSSED
01:33:33:00	01:33:34:00	REFINING DEFINITIONS TO CLARIFY
01:33:34:00	01:33:37:00	WHICH PROVIDERS THE ORDINANCE
01:33:37:00	01:33:38:00	WOULD BE APPLIED TO AS WELL AS
01:33:38:00	01:33:40:00	WHEN AND HOW INSURANCE COVERAGE

01:33:41:00	01:33:44:00	TO PROVIDERS, THE COMMITTEE
01:33:44:00	01:33:45:00	DISCUSSED THE THRESHOLD
01:33:45:00	01:33:45:00	OF ORDERS THAT WOULD TRIGGER
01:33:45:00	01:33:48:00	THE ORDINANCE APPLICABILITY
01:33:48:00	01:33:49:00	DURING THE DISCUSSION THE
01:33:49:00	01:33:51:00	ADMINISTRATION MAINTAINED THEIR
01:33:51:00	01:33:52:00	PROPOSAL FOR 1 MILLION ORDER
01:33:52:00	01:33:55:00	THRESHOLD ANNUALLY REASONING
01:33:55:00	01:33:56:00	THAT IT CAPTURES THE PRIMARY
01:33:56:00	01:33:59:00	MARKET PLAYERS UBER EATS
01:33:59:00	01:34:00:00	DOORDASH AND GRUBHUB AND
01:34:00:00	01:34:00:00	PROVIDES AN EQUITABLE STARTING
01:34:00:00	01:34:03:00	POINT FOR NEW ENTRANTS
01:34:03:00	01:34:03:00	REGARDING THE ORDINANCE
01:34:03:00	01:34:07:00	REGARDING WHEN THE ORDINANCE
01:34:07:00	01:34:07:00	WOULD REQUIRE INSURANCE
01:34:07:00	01:34:11:00	COVERAGE AND TO WHAT EXTENT THE
01:34:11:00	01:34:11:00	COMMITTEE DISCUSSED THE CONCEPT
01:34:11:00	01:34:12:00	OF ACTIVE OPERATOR STATUS AND
01:34:12:00	01:34:15:00	POTENTIAL CHALLENGES RELATED TO
01:34:15:00	01:34:16:00	BICYCLE AND E-BIKE DELIVERY
01:34:16:00	01:34:16:00	COVERAGE.
01:34:16:00	01:34:19:00	THE FOUND GENERAL CONSENSUS ON
01:34:19:00	01:34:20:00	THE IDEA THAT THE ORDINANCE
01:34:20:00	01:34:23:00	SHOULD APPLY WHEN OPERATORS ARE
01:34:23:00	01:34:23:00	OPERATING IN ACTIVE STATUS
01:34:23:00	01:34:26:00	WHICH WOULD BE THE OF TIME FROM
01:34:26:00	01:34:27:00	WHEN AN OPERATOR ACCEPTS AN
01:34:27:00	01:34:30:00	ORDER UNTIL ITS COMPLETION OR
01:34:30:00	01:34:31:00	CANCELLATION REGARDING
01:34:31:00	01:34:33:00	COVERED VEHICLES THE COMMITTEE
01:34:33:00	01:34:34:00	ACKNOWLEDGED THAT SUCH
01:34:34:00	01:34:37:00	INSURANCE PRODUCTS CURRENTLY DO
01:34:37:00	01:34:38:00	NOT WHY THEY EXIST IN
01:34:38:00	01:34:38:00	HIGHLIGHTED THE NECESSITY THE
01:34:38:00	01:34:41:00	NECESSITY OF INDUSTRY
01:34:41:00	01:34:41:00	COOPERATION IN DEVELOPING
01:34:41:00	01:34:42:00	FEASIBLE COVERAGE OPTIONS AND
01:34:42:00	01:34:44:00	MORE INFORMATION ON THAT IN
01:34:44:00	01:34:45:00	JUST A SECOND.
01:34:45:00	01:34:48:00	DATA REPORTING AND PRIVACY WERE
01:34:48:00	01:34:49:00	ALSO EXTENSIVELY DISCUSSED
01:34:49:00	01:34:49:00	DURING A WORKING SESSION.
01:34:49:00	01:34:50:00	THE COMMITTEE DISCUSSED
01:34:50:00	01:34:52:00	REVISING THE DATA SUBMISSION
01:34:52:00	01:34:53:00	REQUIREMENTS TO QUARTERLY
01:34:53:00	01:34:53:00	RATHER THAN MONTHLY BUT WE
01:34:53:00	01:34:56:00	ENDED UP ON QUARTERLY AND
01:34:56:00	01:34:56:00	ALLOWING FOR SUBMISSIONS TO
01:34:56:00	01:34:59:00	OCCUR AFTER THE VARIOUS
01:34:59:00	01:35:00:00	PLATFORMS EARNING REPORTS TO
01:35:00:00	01:35:03:00	ACKNOWLEDGE THE SENSITIVE THE
01:35:03:00	01:35:04:00	SENSITIVITY AROUND COMMERCIAL
01:35:04:00	01:35:07:00	INFORMATION.
01:35:07:00	01:35:08:00	MY LAST THING BEFORE I GO INTO
01:35:08:00	01:35:08:00	A DETAILED SUMMARY OF THE
01:35:08:00	01:35:11:00	AMENDMENTS DURING THIS WORKING
01:35:11:00	01:35:12:00	SESSION THE COMMITTEE ALSO
01:35:12:00	01:35:14:00	DISCUSSED A PROPOSED AMENDMENT
01:35:14:00	01:35:17:00	ESTABLISHING A DELIVERY FEE
01:35:17:00	01:35:18:00	OF $0.15 PER ORDER THE PURPOSE
01:35:18:00	01:35:18:00	OF WHICH WAS TO COVER ORDINANCE
01:35:18:00	01:35:21:00	ENFORCEMENT RELATED TO
01:35:21:00	01:35:22:00	INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS.
01:35:22:00	01:35:25:00	COUNCILORS VOICED CONCERNS
01:35:25:00	01:35:26:00	ABOUT ENSURING ENSURING THAT
01:35:26:00	01:35:27:00	THE FEE DOES NOT PASS ON TO
01:35:27:00	01:35:29:00	CONSUMERS, LOCAL BUSINESSES OR
01:35:29:00	01:35:33:00	DELIVERY OPERATORS SO I NEED TO
01:35:33:00	01:35:34:00	CONTINUE I APOLOGIZE AGAIN BUT
01:35:34:00	01:35:37:00	FOR MORE OF A COMPREHENSIVE AND
01:35:37:00	01:35:38:00	MEMORY AMENDMENT SUMMARY FEEL
01:35:38:00	01:35:41:00	FREE TO FOLLOW THROUGH IN THE
01:35:41:00	01:35:41:00	COMMITTEE REPORT.
01:35:41:00	01:35:42:00	AS FAR AS DEFINITIONS THERE WAS
01:35:42:00	01:35:45:00	A DESIRE FROM BOTH MY
01:35:45:00	01:35:46:00	COLLEAGUES AND IN THE INDUSTRY
01:35:46:00	01:35:46:00	TO INCLUDE AN OPERATOR ACTIVE
01:35:46:00	01:35:49:00	STATUS.
01:35:49:00	01:35:50:00	THIS SETS A TIMELINE WHEN AN
01:35:50:00	01:35:52:00	OPERATOR ACCEPTS A THIRD PARTY
01:35:52:00	01:35:53:00	DELIVERY ORDER UNTIL IT IS
01:35:53:00	01:35:53:00	COMPLETED OR CANCELED IT
01:35:53:00	01:35:56:00	SPECIFIES THE TIME SPENT
01:35:56:00	01:35:57:00	TRAVELING TO THE FOOD SERVICE
01:35:57:00	01:35:57:00	ESTABLISHMENT TO PICK UP THE
01:35:57:00	01:36:00:00	ORDER WAITING AT THE FOOD
01:36:00:00	01:36:00:00	SERVICE SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT
01:36:00:00	01:36:03:00	AND TRANSPORTING ORDER TO THE
01:36:03:00	01:36:04:00	DELIVERY DESTINATION.
01:36:04:00	01:36:07:00	THERE WERE MINOR CHANGES TO
01:36:07:00	01:36:08:00	DEFINITIONS OF THIRD PARTY
01:36:08:00	01:36:11:00	ORDER DEFINITION FACILITATE IS
01:36:11:00	01:36:12:00	A BETTER TERM TO DESCRIBE A
01:36:12:00	01:36:15:00	PLATFORM'S ROLE IN DELIVERY
01:36:15:00	01:36:15:00	SERVICE AND CONSISTENT WITH THE
01:36:15:00	01:36:18:00	TERM USED IN THE DEFINITION
01:36:18:00	01:36:19:00	OF SERVICES.
01:36:19:00	01:36:23:00	THERE WAS A TYPO THAT NAMED
01:36:23:00	01:36:24:00	ELECTRIC BIKES TO BE ECLECTIC
01:36:24:00	01:36:24:00	WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A NEW BRAND
01:36:24:00	01:36:25:00	OF BIKES.
01:36:25:00	01:36:27:00	TURNS OUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE
01:36:27:00	01:36:28:00	SO WE CHANGED IT FROM ECLECTIC
01:36:28:00	01:36:28:00	TO ELECTRIC.
01:36:28:00	01:36:31:00	WE ALSO CHANGED TO THE
01:36:31:00	01:36:31:00	DEFINITION OF THIRD PARTY
01:36:31:00	01:36:34:00	PROVIDERS THAT WAS MORE
01:36:34:00	01:36:34:00	STYLISTIC THAN SUBSTANTIVE.
01:36:34:00	01:36:38:00	IT SAYS TOWARDS THE END
01:36:38:00	01:36:39:00	EXCLUDING A GROCERY OR
01:36:39:00	01:36:39:00	CONVENIENCE STORES PROVIDED
01:36:39:00	01:36:42:00	THAT THE TERM PROVIDER DOES NOT
01:36:42:00	01:36:42:00	INCLUDE A ANY SUCH OPERATOR
01:36:42:00	01:36:46:00	THAT FACILITATES OFFERS OR
01:36:46:00	01:36:46:00	ARRANGES FEWER THAN A MILLION
01:36:46:00	01:36:49:00	ORDERS EACH YEAR AND A FOOD
01:36:49:00	01:36:50:00	SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT THAT
01:36:50:00	01:36:53:00	FACILITATES OFFERS OR ARRANGES
01:36:53:00	01:36:54:00	FOR THE DELIVERY OF ONLY ITS
01:36:54:00	01:36:57:00	OWN FOOD OR BEVERAGES DURING
01:36:57:00	01:36:58:00	DISCUSSION AFTER A BACK AND
01:36:58:00	01:36:58:00	FORTH OF ATTEMPTING TO DEFINE
01:36:58:00	01:37:01:00	AN ADEQUATE THRESHOLD, WE STUCK
01:37:01:00	01:37:02:00	WITH THE PROPOSAL FOR A MILLION
01:37:02:00	01:37:05:00	ORDERS THRESHOLD INITIALLY
01:37:05:00	01:37:05:00	REASONING THAT IT CAPTURES
01:37:05:00	01:37:06:00	THOSE MARKET PLAYERS.
01:37:06:00	01:37:09:00	AS I MENTIONED EARLIER,
01:37:09:00	01:37:13:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY HAD A QUESTION
01:37:13:00	01:37:13:00	ABOUT INSTACART IN AN UBER EATS
01:37:13:00	01:37:16:00	THIS ORDINANCE EXPLICITLY
01:37:16:00	01:37:17:00	EXCLUDES GROCERY STORE AND
01:37:17:00	01:37:20:00	CONVENIENCE STORE DELIVERIES
01:37:20:00	01:37:20:00	AND SO AS A RESULT INSTACART
01:37:20:00	01:37:24:00	ORDERS WHICH FOCUS ON GROCERY
01:37:24:00	01:37:24:00	DELIVERY ARE EXEMPT FROM THE
01:37:24:00	01:37:25:00	ORDINANCE.
01:37:25:00	01:37:26:00	UBER EATS IS A SERVICE THAT
01:37:26:00	01:37:28:00	FULFILLS RESTAURANT AND
01:37:28:00	01:37:28:00	PREPARED FOOD DELIVERY ORDERS.
01:37:28:00	01:37:29:00	AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF KEY
01:37:29:00	01:37:33:00	CLARIFICATION AS I FOUND OUT
01:37:33:00	01:37:33:00	AFTERWARDS, INSTACART DOES NOT
01:37:33:00	01:37:36:00	HANDLE RESTAURANT DELIVERY AND
01:37:36:00	01:37:37:00	SAID ANY RESTAURANT DELIVERIES
01:37:37:00	01:37:37:00	INITIATED ON INSTACART ARE
01:37:37:00	01:37:40:00	ACTUALLY FULFILLED BY UBER EATS
01:37:40:00	01:37:41:00	INSTACART'S RELATIONSHIP WITH
01:37:41:00	01:37:44:00	UBER EATS IS WHAT WE DEEM AS A
01:37:44:00	01:37:45:00	MARKETING PARTNERSHIP NOT A
01:37:45:00	01:37:48:00	DIRECT FOOD DELIVERY SERVICE.
01:37:48:00	01:37:49:00	INSTACART DIRECTS CUSTOMERS TO
01:37:49:00	01:37:50:00	UBER UBER EATS WHEN RESTAURANT
01:37:50:00	01:37:55:00	DELIVERY IS REQUESTED IF A
01:37:55:00	01:37:55:00	CUSTOMER ORDERS GROCERY AN UBER
01:37:55:00	01:37:58:00	EATS THOSE ORDERS ARE FULFILLED
01:37:58:00	01:37:59:00	BY INSTACART AND ITS WORKERS
01:37:59:00	01:38:02:00	NOT UBER EATS DRIVERS AND SO IT
01:38:02:00	01:38:06:00	WAS THE OPINION OF BOTH OUR
01:38:06:00	01:38:06:00	LEGAL COUNCILOR AND THE CITIES
01:38:06:00	01:38:07:00	THAT THE CITY DOES NOT
01:38:07:00	01:38:07:00	CURRENTLY BELIEVE THAT
01:38:07:00	01:38:10:00	INSTACART WILL BE SUBJECTED TO
01:38:10:00	01:38:10:00	THIS ORDINANCE.
01:38:10:00	01:38:11:00	UBER EATS AND INSTACART DO HAVE
01:38:11:00	01:38:13:00	A PARTNERSHIP SINCE 2024 WHICH
01:38:13:00	01:38:14:00	ALLOWS INSTACART TO OFFER ITS
01:38:14:00	01:38:17:00	CUSTOMERS RESTAURANT DELIVERY.
01:38:17:00	01:38:17:00	HOWEVER, THESE DELIVERIES ARE
01:38:17:00	01:38:18:00	CARRIED OUT BY UBER EATS AND
01:38:18:00	01:38:21:00	ITS COURIERS TO THE UBER EATS
01:38:21:00	01:38:21:00	BACK END PLATFORM.
01:38:21:00	01:38:22:00	IN GENERAL THOUGH, THE INTENT
01:38:22:00	01:38:25:00	OF THIS ORDINANCE IS TO
01:38:25:00	01:38:25:00	REGULATE THIRD PARTY RESTAURANT
01:38:25:00	01:38:28:00	DELIVERY PROVIDERS SPECIFICALLY
01:38:28:00	01:38:29:00	THOSE CONTRIBUTING TO TRAFFIC
01:38:29:00	01:38:29:00	CONGESTION, CONGESTION AND
01:38:29:00	01:38:32:00	PARKING VIOLATIONS.
01:38:32:00	01:38:33:00	GROCERY DELIVERY STORE GROCERY
01:38:33:00	01:38:33:00	DELIVERY SERVICES LIKE
01:38:33:00	01:38:36:00	INSTACART OPERATE DIFFERENTLY.
01:38:36:00	01:38:37:00	THEY PICK UP THEIR ORDERS IN
01:38:37:00	01:38:40:00	GROCERY STORE PARKING LOTS.
01:38:40:00	01:38:41:00	THEY DO NOT CREATE THE SAME
01:38:41:00	01:38:42:00	SORT OF STREET CONGESTION AS
01:38:42:00	01:38:44:00	RUSH STREET RESTAURANT DELIVERY
01:38:44:00	01:38:45:00	DRIVERS AND I CAN I'M HAPPY TO
01:38:45:00	01:38:48:00	ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU
01:38:48:00	01:38:49:00	HAVE ON THAT.
01:38:49:00	01:38:49:00	I'M GOING DOWN TO THIRD PARTY
01:38:49:00	01:38:51:00	DELIVERY PROVIDER PERMIT
01:38:51:00	01:38:52:00	PROCESS.
01:38:52:00	01:38:53:00	THERE WAS A CHALLENGE TO THE
01:38:53:00	01:38:56:00	FOR THE BPD TO UNILATERALLY
01:38:56:00	01:38:57:00	DECIDE WHETHER OPERATIONS ARE
01:38:57:00	01:38:59:00	IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST EVEN
01:38:59:00	01:39:00:00	THOUGH A PLATFORM IS IN
01:39:00:00	01:39:01:00	COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LAWS AND
01:39:01:00	01:39:03:00	REGULATIONS.
01:39:03:00	01:39:04:00	THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE THAT
01:39:04:00	01:39:06:00	WAS PUT FORTH BY THE INDUSTRY
01:39:06:00	01:39:07:00	WHICH WE AGREED IN TERMS
01:39:07:00	01:39:10:00	OF INSURANCE AND NOW STATES
01:39:10:00	01:39:11:00	COVERAGE FOR LIABILITY IN THE
01:39:11:00	01:39:13:00	EVENT THAT ANY UNINSURED OR
01:39:13:00	01:39:14:00	UNDERINSURED OPERATOR IS
01:39:14:00	01:39:17:00	INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THE
01:39:17:00	01:39:18:00	PROVIDER MUST ENSURE THAT THE
01:39:18:00	01:39:19:00	OPERATOR, THE PROVIDER OR ANY
01:39:19:00	01:39:21:00	COMBINATION OF THE TWO
01:39:21:00	01:39:21:00	MAINTAINS LIABILITY INSURANCE
01:39:21:00	01:39:22:00	THAT ENSURES AN OPERATOR OF A
01:39:22:00	01:39:25:00	VEHICLE FOR LIABILITY TO THIRD
01:39:25:00	01:39:25:00	PARTIES WITH COVERAGE AMOUNTS
01:39:25:00	01:39:29:00	OF NOT LESS $50,000 FOR DAMAGES
01:39:29:00	01:39:32:00	ARISING OUT OF BODILY INJURY

01:39:37:00	01:39:37:00	$100,000 FOR DAMAGES ARISING
01:39:37:00	01:39:40:00	OUT OF BODILY INJURY SUSTAINED

01:39:44:00	01:39:47:00	TO OR DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY
01:39:47:00	01:39:48:00	IN AN ACCIDENT.
01:39:48:00	01:39:51:00	THIS AMENDMENT ALIGNS WITH THE
01:39:51:00	01:39:51:00	INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS
01:39:51:00	01:39:52:00	WITH STATE MINIMUMS AND
01:39:52:00	01:39:55:00	PROVIDES PLATFORMS WITH GREATER
01:39:55:00	01:39:59:00	REGULATORY CERTAINTY REGARDING
01:39:59:00	01:39:59:00	COVERED VEHICLES.
01:39:59:00	01:40:00:00	WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SUCH
01:40:00:00	01:40:00:00	INSURANCE PRODUCTS FOR E-BIKES
01:40:00:00	01:40:03:00	AND MOPEDS DO NOT WIDELY EXIST
01:40:03:00	01:40:03:00	IN HIGHLIGHTED THE NECESSITY
01:40:03:00	01:40:06:00	OF INDUSTRY COOPERATION IN
01:40:06:00	01:40:07:00	DEVELOPING FEASIBLE COVERAGE
01:40:07:00	01:40:07:00	OPTIONS.
01:40:07:00	01:40:10:00	THERE WAS A PUBLIC COMMITMENT
01:40:10:00	01:40:11:00	BY AN INDUSTRY REPRESENTATIVE
01:40:11:00	01:40:14:00	TO WORK WITH THE INSURANCE
01:40:14:00	01:40:15:00	COMPANIES TO BUILD A PRODUCT
01:40:15:00	01:40:15:00	THAT COVERS E-BIKES AND MOPEDS.
01:40:15:00	01:40:18:00	IT IS WORTH TO MY COLLEAGUES
01:40:18:00	01:40:19:00	THAT UBER HAS COVERAGE IN
01:40:19:00	01:40:20:00	CANADA ALREADY AND SO THEY'RE
01:40:20:00	01:40:22:00	NOT A STRANGER TO THIS ISSUE IN
01:40:22:00	01:40:23:00	THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET THEY
01:40:23:00	01:40:23:00	HAVE ACCIDENTAL INSURANCE
01:40:23:00	01:40:26:00	COVERAGE FOR BICYCLES, E-BIKES,
01:40:26:00	01:40:29:00	SCOOTERS AND ON FOOT DELIVERY
01:40:29:00	01:40:30:00	PEOPLE.
01:40:30:00	01:40:30:00	IF YOU'RE USING ANY OF THESE
01:40:30:00	01:40:31:00	UBER MAINTAINS INSURANCE ON
01:40:31:00	01:40:34:00	BEHALF OF DELIVERY PEOPLE AND
01:40:34:00	01:40:34:00	YOU ARE COVERED FOR PERSONAL
01:40:34:00	01:40:37:00	INJURIES THAT OCCUR FROM A RISK
01:40:37:00	01:40:38:00	PERSPECTIVE EITHER QUANTIFYING
01:40:38:00	01:40:38:00	THE SPEED OR WEIGHT FROM
01:40:38:00	01:40:41:00	HIGHEST TO LOWEST CARS,
01:40:41:00	01:40:44:00	MOTORCYCLES, MOPEDS AND E-BIKES
01:40:44:00	01:40:48:00	AN E-BIKE PRODUCT AN E-BIKE
01:40:48:00	01:40:49:00	PRODUCT BEING CREATED I THINK
01:40:49:00	01:40:52:00	IS IS A GOOD THING IF IT
01:40:52:00	01:40:53:00	HAPPENS THROUGH THIS ORDINANCE
01:40:53:00	01:40:53:00	AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I
01:40:53:00	01:40:56:00	SUPPORT.
01:40:56:00	01:40:56:00	THAT'S WHY IT WAS INCLUDED IN
01:40:56:00	01:40:57:00	THIS FINAL DRAFT GOING THROUGH
01:40:57:00	01:40:59:00	DATA REPORTING REQUIREMENTS IN
01:40:59:00	01:41:00:00	SECTION A WE CHANGED FROM
01:41:00:00	01:41:03:00	MONTHLY TO QUARTERLY WHILE
01:41:03:00	01:41:04:00	MANDATING DATA ANONYMIZATION TO
01:41:04:00	01:41:07:00	PROTECT CONSUMER PRIVACY.
01:41:07:00	01:41:08:00	THAT WAS A RECOMMENDATION TAKEN
01:41:08:00	01:41:11:00	DIRECTLY FROM THE ACLU.
01:41:11:00	01:41:11:00	THE THE INDUSTRY HAD CONCERNS
01:41:11:00	01:41:12:00	ABOUT DATA PRIVACY AND
01:41:12:00	01:41:14:00	COMMERCIAL SENSITIVITY.
01:41:14:00	01:41:15:00	THESE CHANGES PROVIDE
01:41:15:00	01:41:15:00	THOUGHTFUL COMPROMISE AND
01:41:15:00	01:41:18:00	ADDRESS CONCERNS.
01:41:18:00	01:41:19:00	THIS ALLOWS FOR LESS FREQUENT
01:41:19:00	01:41:22:00	AND DELAYED DATA REPORTING TO
01:41:22:00	01:41:25:00	MITIGATE RISKS.
01:41:25:00	01:41:26:00	WE ALSO REMOVED THE DATA
01:41:26:00	01:41:26:00	REQUIREMENT OF THE POWER SOURCE
01:41:26:00	01:41:29:00	OF THE VEHICLE USED WHETHER IT
01:41:29:00	01:41:30:00	WAS PROPELLED BY INTERNAL
01:41:30:00	01:41:30:00	COMBUSTION OR BATTERY SOURCE
01:41:30:00	01:41:33:00	ELECTRICITY.
01:41:33:00	01:41:34:00	THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT
01:41:34:00	01:41:36:00	CONVERSATIONS AROUND A 15 DIGIT
01:41:36:00	01:41:36:00	OR 12 DIGIT FIPS CODE WITHIN A
01:41:36:00	01:41:39:00	CENSUS TRACK OR BLOCK
01:41:39:00	01:41:40:00	RESPECTIVELY.
01:41:40:00	01:41:43:00	WE DECIDED TO REDUCE TO A 12
01:41:43:00	01:41:44:00	DIGIT FITS CODE FOR GREATER AND
01:41:44:00	01:41:46:00	COMMUNITY OF CONSUMERS SO THAT
01:41:46:00	01:41:47:00	THEIR DATA IS NOT TRACKED.
01:41:47:00	01:41:50:00	WE ALSO REQUIRED BTD TO CLEARLY
01:41:50:00	01:41:51:00	DEFINE THE PURPOSE OF DATA
01:41:51:00	01:41:55:00	COLLECTION, ENSURE IT SERVES A
01:41:55:00	01:41:55:00	LEGITIMATE NEED WHILE ENSURING
01:41:55:00	01:41:57:00	REASONABLE SECURITY PROCEDURES
01:41:57:00	01:41:58:00	AND SO IT SAYS THE FOLLOWING IN
01:41:58:00	01:41:59:00	SECTION B EACH PROVIDER SHALL
01:41:59:00	01:42:02:00	SUBMIT TO BTD UPON BTD REQUEST
01:42:02:00	01:42:03:00	ADDITIONAL DATA FOR THE

01:42:16:00	01:42:17:00	OF TRANSPORTATION AS DETERMINED
01:42:17:00	01:42:21:00	BY BTD BTD SHALL SEE BTD SHALL
01:42:21:00	01:42:21:00	IMPLEMENT AND MAINTAIN
01:42:21:00	01:42:24:00	REASONABLE SECURITY PROCEDURES
01:42:24:00	01:42:24:00	AND PRACTICES INCLUDING
01:42:24:00	01:42:25:00	OPERATIONAL, ADMINISTRATIVE,
01:42:25:00	01:42:28:00	TECHNICAL AND PHYSICAL
01:42:28:00	01:42:29:00	SAFEGUARDS TO PROTECT THE TRIP
01:42:29:00	01:42:29:00	DATA FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS
01:42:29:00	01:42:32:00	TO DESTRUCTION, USE
01:42:32:00	01:42:33:00	MODIFICATION OR DISCLOSURE AND
01:42:33:00	01:42:36:00	BTD SHALL NOT USE THE DATA FOR
01:42:36:00	01:42:37:00	ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN
01:42:37:00	01:42:39:00	REGULATING TRAFFIC SAFETY,
01:42:39:00	01:42:40:00	CONGESTION MANAGEMENT POLICY

01:42:40:00	01:42:43:00	ENFORCEMENT WITHIN THE CITY
01:42:43:00	01:42:43:00	OF BOSTON.
01:42:43:00	01:42:44:00	THIS VERSION ENSURES ROBUST
01:42:44:00	01:42:46:00	DATA PROTECTIONS WHILE STILL
01:42:46:00	01:42:47:00	ALLOWING BTD TO COLLECT
01:42:47:00	01:42:50:00	NECESSARY REGULATORY DATA TO
01:42:50:00	01:42:51:00	INFORM THEIR POLICY.
01:42:51:00	01:42:55:00	SO LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST
01:42:55:00	01:42:57:00	AND I'M SORRY TWO THINGS WE
01:42:57:00	01:43:00:00	CHANGE IT FROM IMPLEMENTATION
01:43:00:00	01:43:01:00	THE TIMELINE FROM 6 TO 9 MONTHS
01:43:01:00	01:43:01:00	TO PROVIDE THAT RAMP UP TIME
01:43:01:00	01:43:04:00	FOR THE INDUSTRY TO BE ABLE TO
01:43:04:00	01:43:04:00	WORK WITH INSURANCE PROVIDERS
01:43:04:00	01:43:07:00	TO CREATE THAT PRODUCT FOR
01:43:07:00	01:43:07:00	E-BIKES AND MOPEDS.
01:43:07:00	01:43:08:00	AND THEN THE LAST THING I WANT
01:43:08:00	01:43:11:00	TO SAY IS THAT THERE WAS AN
01:43:11:00	01:43:12:00	AMENDMENT PUT FORTH BY MY
01:43:12:00	01:43:12:00	COLLEAGUE FROM DISTRICT EIGHT
01:43:12:00	01:43:15:00	AND I WANT TO THANK HER FOR HER
01:43:15:00	01:43:16:00	WORK THAT WOULD HAVE INSTITUTED
01:43:16:00	01:43:16:00	A FEE OF 15 PER ORDER.
01:43:16:00	01:43:19:00	I HEARD FROM COLLEAGUES THAT
01:43:19:00	01:43:19:00	THERE WERE CONCERNS ABOUT THE
01:43:19:00	01:43:23:00	FEE AND WANTED SPECIFIC
01:43:23:00	01:43:24:00	ASSURANCES THAT THE FEE DOES
01:43:24:00	01:43:27:00	NOT PASS ON TO CONSUMERS LOCAL
01:43:27:00	01:43:27:00	BUSINESSES OR DELIVERY
01:43:27:00	01:43:27:00	OPERATORS.
01:43:27:00	01:43:31:00	THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE INSTANCES
01:43:31:00	01:43:32:00	AS CHAIR WHERE IT WAS IT'S MY
01:43:32:00	01:43:35:00	RESPONSIBILITY TO PUT FORTH A
01:43:35:00	01:43:36:00	DOCKET THAT I THINK IS
01:43:36:00	01:43:39:00	REFLECTIVE OF ALL OF OUR
01:43:39:00	01:43:39:00	VARYING OPINIONS.
01:43:39:00	01:43:40:00	IT'S NOT EASY BUT IT'S
01:43:40:00	01:43:40:00	SOMETHING THAT I TAKE VERY
01:43:40:00	01:43:42:00	SERIOUSLY AND SO ULTIMATELY
01:43:42:00	01:43:46:00	BASED ON WHAT FOLKS WERE
01:43:46:00	01:43:46:00	TELLING ME AND THEIR CONCERNS
01:43:46:00	01:43:47:00	AND GIVEN THAT WE COULD NOT
01:43:47:00	01:43:50:00	LEGALLY PUT IN HERE AND CODIFY
01:43:50:00	01:43:50:00	ASSURANCES THAT THIS FEE COULD
01:43:50:00	01:43:53:00	NOT BE PASSED ON TO CONSUMERS
01:43:53:00	01:43:54:00	AND LOCAL BUSINESSES, I DID NOT
01:43:54:00	01:43:57:00	INCLUDE IT IN THE FINAL VERSION
01:43:57:00	01:43:57:00	.
01:43:57:00	01:43:58:00	ULTIMATELY THIS DRAFT THAT I'M
01:43:58:00	01:44:01:00	RECOMMENDING REFLECTS THIS
01:44:01:00	01:44:05:00	PROCESS AND REFLECTS MY DUTY
01:44:05:00	01:44:06:00	AND RESPONSIBILITY AS CHAIR TO
01:44:06:00	01:44:07:00	PRODUCE SOMETHING AGAIN THAT IS
01:44:07:00	01:44:09:00	REFLECTIVE OF EVERYBODY AND
01:44:09:00	01:44:10:00	THAT I THINK WILL ULTIMATELY BE
01:44:10:00	01:44:10:00	SUCCESSFUL.
01:44:10:00	01:44:13:00	AND SO WITH THAT SORRY AS CHAIR
01:44:13:00	01:44:17:00	OF THE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT
01:44:17:00	01:44:17:00	OPERATIONS I RECOMMEND MOVING
01:44:17:00	01:44:20:00	THE LISTED DOCKET FROM THE
01:44:20:00	01:44:21:00	COMMITTEE TO THE FULL
01:44:21:00	01:44:21:00	COUNCIL FOR DISCUSSION AND
01:44:21:00	01:44:24:00	FORMAL ACTION AND AT THIS TIME
01:44:24:00	01:44:24:00	MY RECOMMENDATION TO THE FULL
01:44:24:00	01:44:25:00	COUNCIL WILL BE THAT THIS
01:44:25:00	01:44:29:00	MATTER OUGHT TO PASS IN A NEW
01:44:29:00	01:44:29:00	DRAFT.
01:44:29:00	01:44:29:00	THANK YOU.
01:44:29:00	01:44:30:00	THANK YOU COUNCILOR.
01:44:30:00	01:44:30:00	THAT IS APPARENT.
01:44:30:00	01:44:31:00	THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK
01:44:31:00	01:44:33:00	ON THIS DOCKET.
01:44:33:00	01:44:33:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
01:44:33:00	01:44:34:00	COUNCILOR DURKAN CONSIDER CAN
01:44:34:00	01:44:35:00	YOU HAVE THE FLOOR?
01:44:35:00	01:44:36:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH CHAIR AND I'D
01:44:36:00	01:44:36:00	LIKE TO THANK THE CHAIR
01:44:36:00	01:44:37:00	OF GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS FOR
01:44:37:00	01:44:39:00	ALL OF HER WORK ON THIS.
01:44:39:00	01:44:40:00	IF I HAD TO ENCAPSULATE ALL
01:44:40:00	01:44:42:00	OF MY THOUGHTS I WOULD SAY I'M
01:44:42:00	01:44:43:00	EXCITED, I'M HOPEFUL AND I'M
01:44:43:00	01:44:46:00	DISAPPOINTED FOR FAR TOO LONG.
01:44:46:00	01:44:47:00	I'LL START WITH THE HOPEFUL
01:44:47:00	01:44:47:00	PART.
01:44:47:00	01:44:49:00	FOR FAR TOO LONG THIRD PARTY
01:44:49:00	01:44:50:00	DELIVERY PLATFORMS HAVE
01:44:50:00	01:44:51:00	OPERATED IN BOSTON AS IF THE
01:44:51:00	01:44:54:00	RULES DON'T APPLY TO THEM.
01:44:54:00	01:44:54:00	THEIR BUSINESS MODELS
01:44:54:00	01:44:56:00	PRIORITIZE SPEED AND PROFITS
01:44:56:00	01:44:57:00	OVER SAFETY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
01:44:57:00	01:45:00:00	LEAVING RESIDENTS, PEDESTRIANS
01:45:00:00	01:45:01:00	AND EVEN THEIR OWN DRIVERS TO
01:45:01:00	01:45:02:00	DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES
01:45:02:00	01:45:02:00	OF RECKLESS AND LAWLESS
01:45:02:00	01:45:05:00	BEHAVIOR ON OUR STREETS.
01:45:05:00	01:45:05:00	AS THE CHAIR OF PLANNING
01:45:05:00	01:45:06:00	DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSPORTATION,
01:45:06:00	01:45:09:00	I CHAIRED A HEARING LAST YEAR
01:45:09:00	01:45:10:00	WHERE I HAD MADE ASK TO THE
01:45:10:00	01:45:12:00	PLATFORMS USED DETAILED
01:45:12:00	01:45:13:00	DELIVERY DATA THAT WE KNOW THEY
01:45:13:00	01:45:14:00	COLLECT TO MITIGATE THEIR
01:45:14:00	01:45:16:00	IMPACTS ON OUR STREETS.
01:45:16:00	01:45:17:00	UNSURPRISINGLY, THERE WAS
01:45:17:00	01:45:20:00	LITTLE TRANSPARENCY AND
01:45:20:00	01:45:21:00	REQUESTS FOR THEM TO
01:45:21:00	01:45:21:00	SELF-REGULATE WAS NEGLECTED.
01:45:21:00	01:45:24:00	THE ADMINISTRATION'S ORDINANCE
01:45:24:00	01:45:25:00	TODAY BUILDS ON THE IDEA THAT
01:45:25:00	01:45:28:00	BY REQUIRING APPROPRIATE DATA
01:45:28:00	01:45:28:00	REPORTING MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE
01:45:28:00	01:45:32:00	FOR THESE COMPANIES TO CONTINUE
01:45:32:00	01:45:33:00	TO HIDE BEHIND GLIB GLIB
01:45:33:00	01:45:36:00	INDIFFERENCE AND VAGUE EXCUSES.
01:45:36:00	01:45:37:00	WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A
01:45:37:00	01:45:39:00	DIFFERENCE TODAY.
01:45:39:00	01:45:40:00	THE MAYOR'S ADMINISTRATION'S
01:45:40:00	01:45:44:00	DELIVERY OF THIRD PARTY
01:45:44:00	01:45:44:00	DELIVERY ORDINANCE MAKES SURE
01:45:44:00	01:45:48:00	THAT COMPANIES LIKE DOORDASH,
01:45:48:00	01:45:48:00	UBER EATS AND GRUBHUB OBTAIN
01:45:48:00	01:45:51:00	PERMITS TO OPERATE IN THE CITY
01:45:51:00	01:45:52:00	OF BOSTON AND THIS ORDINANCE
01:45:52:00	01:45:52:00	ESTABLISHES A FRAMEWORK FOR
01:45:52:00	01:45:56:00	ACCOUNTABILITY BY ENSURING THAT
01:45:56:00	01:45:56:00	THESE COMPANIES DO THEIR PART
01:45:56:00	01:45:59:00	TO KEEP OUR STREETS SAFE BY

01:49:17:00	01:49:21:00	THIS ORDINANCE RAISES
01:49:21:00	01:49:21:00	SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS REGARDING
01:49:21:00	01:49:22:00	ITS APPROACH AND POTENTIAL
01:49:22:00	01:49:25:00	UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.
01:49:25:00	01:49:26:00	BOSTON ALREADY HAS

01:49:30:00	01:49:33:00	CONCERNS ASSOCIATED WITH FOOD

01:49:33:00	01:49:37:00	EFFECTIVE ENFORCEMENT OF THESE
01:49:37:00	01:49:37:00	EXISTING REGULATIONS SHOULD BE
01:49:37:00	01:49:40:00	OUR PRIMARY STRATEGY RATHER
01:49:40:00	01:49:41:00	THAN INTRODUCE INTRODUCING
01:49:41:00	01:49:44:00	ADDITIONAL LEGISLATION THAT MAY
01:49:44:00	01:49:45:00	BE REDUNDANT AND BURDENSOME.
01:49:45:00	01:49:48:00	THE ORDINANCE APPEARS TO
01:49:48:00	01:49:48:00	DISPROPORTIONATELY TARGET

01:50:05:00	01:50:09:00	IS A FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIP
01:50:09:00	01:50:10:00	WITH THEM TOO THAT INSTACART
01:50:10:00	01:50:13:00	DOES MAKE MONEY OFF STILL
01:50:13:00	01:50:14:00	SENDING THEM OFF TO THAT OTHER
01:50:14:00	01:50:17:00	SERVICE THIS SELECTIVE
01:50:17:00	01:50:17:00	APPLICATION RAISES QUESTIONS
01:50:17:00	01:50:18:00	ABOUT FAIRNESS AND THE
01:50:18:00	01:50:21:00	RATIONALE BEHIND FOCUSING ON
01:50:21:00	01:50:21:00	CERTAIN COMPANIES OVER OTHERS
01:50:21:00	01:50:24:00	THAT CONTRIBUTE SIMILARLY TO
01:50:24:00	01:50:25:00	URBAN TRAFFIC A CENTRAL
01:50:25:00	01:50:28:00	COMPONENT OF THE ORDINANCE IS
01:50:28:00	01:50:28:00	THE MANDATE FOR DELIVERY

01:50:35:00	01:50:35:00	OF TRANSPORTATION.
01:50:35:00	01:50:38:00	HOWEVER, THE PRACTICALITY
01:50:38:00	01:50:39:00	OF THIS REQUIREMENT IS
01:50:39:00	01:50:39:00	QUESTIONABLE AS SUCH
01:50:39:00	01:50:43:00	COMPREHENSIVE INSURANCE PROJECT
01:50:43:00	01:50:44:00	PRODUCTS DO NOT EXIST IN THE

01:50:46:00	01:50:47:00	MANY DELIVERY COMPANIES ALREADY
01:50:47:00	01:50:50:00	OFFER INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR
01:50:50:00	01:50:50:00	THEIR DRIVERS.
01:50:50:00	01:50:54:00	MAKING THIS NEW MANDATE
01:50:54:00	01:50:54:00	UNNECESSARY AND INDICATIVE OF A
01:50:54:00	01:50:57:00	RUSH TO LEGISLATION PROCESS
01:50:57:00	01:50:58:00	WHICH I BELIEVE IS LACKING
01:50:58:00	01:51:01:00	THOROUGH INDUSTRY CONSULTATION.
01:51:01:00	01:51:04:00	THE GREATER BOSTON CHAMBER
01:51:04:00	01:51:05:00	OF COMMERCE HAS EXPRESSED
01:51:05:00	01:51:05:00	CONCERNS THAT THE ORDINANCE
01:51:05:00	01:51:09:00	GOES BEYOND WHAT IS NECESSARY
01:51:09:00	01:51:10:00	TO IMPROVE SAFETY AND COULD
01:51:10:00	01:51:13:00	CREATE BURDENSOME REQUIREMENTS
01:51:13:00	01:51:13:00	FOR THE TARGETED COMPANIES.
01:51:13:00	01:51:17:00	THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES DELIVERY
01:51:17:00	01:51:17:00	COMPANIES TO SHARE EXTENSIVE

01:51:22:00	01:51:25:00	DELIVERY FREQUENCIES IN ROUTE
01:51:25:00	01:51:25:00	SPECIFICS WHILE INTENDED TO AID
01:51:25:00	01:51:29:00	IN TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AT THIS
01:51:29:00	01:51:29:00	LEVEL OF DATA COLLECTION RAISES
01:51:29:00	01:51:33:00	SIGNIFICANT PRIVACY CONCERNS
01:51:33:00	01:51:33:00	INSTEAD OF REQUIRING PRECISE
01:51:33:00	01:51:36:00	AND SENSITIVE DATA POINTS, THE
01:51:36:00	01:51:37:00	CITY SHOULD WORK WITH PLATFORM
01:51:37:00	01:51:41:00	PROVIDERS TO PRODUCE AGGREGATED
01:51:41:00	01:51:41:00	HEAT MAPS DEVOID OF PERSONAL
01:51:41:00	01:51:41:00	INFORMATION.
01:51:41:00	01:51:45:00	THIS ORDINANCE THANK YOU
01:51:45:00	01:51:46:00	COUNCILOR COLLETTE, AS A PART
01:51:46:00	01:51:46:00	OF YOU DID MENTION THAT YOU
01:51:46:00	01:51:52:00	REMOVE TO THE THE REQUEST TO
01:51:52:00	01:51:53:00	ADD AN ADDITIONAL COST BUT I
01:51:53:00	01:51:54:00	DID BELIEVE THAT THIS ORDINANCE
01:51:54:00	01:51:57:00	IF THEY HAD HAD IT INCLUDED
01:51:57:00	01:51:57:00	THAT WOULD INTRODUCE ADDITIONAL
01:51:57:00	01:52:01:00	COSTS FOR DELIVERY COMPANIES
01:52:01:00	01:52:01:00	SUCH AS A PROPOSED DELIVERY
01:52:01:00	01:52:02:00	CHARGE PER ORDER.
01:52:02:00	01:52:05:00	THESE INCREASED EXPENSES WOULD
01:52:05:00	01:52:08:00	HAVE BEEN LIKELY TO BE PASSED
01:52:08:00	01:52:09:00	ON TO CONSUMERS RESULTING IN
01:52:09:00	01:52:10:00	HIGHER PRICES FOR FOOD DELIVERY
01:52:10:00	01:52:12:00	SERVICES.
01:52:12:00	01:52:12:00	THIS OUTCOME COULD BE
01:52:12:00	01:52:13:00	DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECT
01:52:13:00	01:52:16:00	RESIDENTS WHO RELY ON THESE
01:52:16:00	01:52:16:00	SERVICES.
01:52:16:00	01:52:19:00	FOR ME IT'S CONVENIENCE BUT FOR
01:52:19:00	01:52:20:00	MANY PEOPLE THEY USE THESE
01:52:20:00	01:52:21:00	DELIVERY SERVICES BECAUSE THEY
01:52:21:00	01:52:24:00	MAY HAVE MOBILITY ISSUES OR
01:52:24:00	01:52:24:00	DISABILITIES SO IT'S IMPORTANT
01:52:24:00	01:52:27:00	OR THEY MAY NOT HAVE A CAR OR
01:52:27:00	01:52:28:00	WORK TWO JOBS AND DON'T HAVE
01:52:28:00	01:52:31:00	THE TIME TO GET TO THE STORES
01:52:31:00	01:52:31:00	WHEN THEY'RE OPEN.
01:52:31:00	01:52:34:00	SO MAKING FOOD DELIVERY LESS
01:52:34:00	01:52:34:00	AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE IS
01:52:34:00	01:52:35:00	SOMETHING I DON'T WANT TO DO.
01:52:35:00	01:52:38:00	SO I'LL END BY SAYING IT'S
01:52:38:00	01:52:39:00	IMPORTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
01:52:39:00	01:52:42:00	SOME DELIVERY PLATFORMS HAVE
01:52:42:00	01:52:42:00	ALREADY INITIATED MEASURES TO
01:52:42:00	01:52:45:00	ENHANCE ROAD SAFETY.
01:52:45:00	01:52:46:00	I WOULD SAY MANY OF THEM HAVE.

01:53:01:00	01:53:04:00	VERIFICATION PROCESSES TO
01:53:04:00	01:53:05:00	PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED ACCOUNT
01:53:05:00	01:53:05:00	SHARING.
01:53:05:00	01:53:08:00	WHILE THE GOAL OF ENHANCING
01:53:08:00	01:53:09:00	ROAD SAFETY IS COMMENDABLE, THE
01:53:09:00	01:53:13:00	PROPOSED ORDINANCE APPEARS TO
01:53:13:00	01:53:13:00	BE A HASTILY CONSTRUCTED
01:53:13:00	01:53:14:00	MEASURE THAT MAY NOT
01:53:14:00	01:53:16:00	EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS THE
01:53:16:00	01:53:16:00	UNDERLYING ISSUES.
01:53:16:00	01:53:19:00	I URGE MY COLLEAGUES TO
01:53:19:00	01:53:20:00	RECONSIDER THIS APPROACH.
01:53:20:00	01:53:23:00	ENGAGE IN MEANINGFUL DIALOG
01:53:23:00	01:53:24:00	WITH ALL STAKEHOLDERS AND FOCUS
01:53:24:00	01:53:27:00	ON ENFORCING EXISTING TRAFFIC
01:53:27:00	01:53:28:00	LAWS TO AGREE TO ACHIEVE THE
01:53:28:00	01:53:30:00	DESIRED IMPROVEMENTS IN PUBLIC
01:53:30:00	01:53:31:00	WITHOUT IMPOSING UNNECESSARY
01:53:31:00	01:53:35:00	BURDENS ON OUR CONSUMERS.
01:53:35:00	01:53:35:00	THANK YOU.
01:53:35:00	01:53:35:00	THANK YOU.
01:53:35:00	01:53:36:00	THE CHAIR ORGANIZERS.
01:53:36:00	01:53:40:00	IS ANYONE ELSE LOOKING TO SPEAK
01:53:40:00	01:53:40:00	ON THIS MATTER?
01:53:40:00	01:53:40:00	THE CHEROKEE NATION IS
01:53:40:00	01:53:44:00	CONTRAFLOW NEAR THE FLOOR.
01:53:44:00	01:53:48:00	THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
01:53:48:00	01:53:52:00	I ORIGINALLY PLANNED TO VOTE IN
01:53:52:00	01:53:53:00	SUPPORT OF THIS ORDINANCE AS
01:53:53:00	01:53:56:00	LONG AS THE TAX IS NOT ADDED.
01:53:56:00	01:53:59:00	RESIDENTS OF THE CITY KNOW THAT
01:53:59:00	01:54:03:00	THIS TAX WILL NOT BE PAID BY A
01:54:03:00	01:54:03:00	LARGE MULTIBILLION DOLLAR
01:54:03:00	01:54:03:00	CORPORATION.
01:54:03:00	01:54:07:00	TAXES GET PASSED ON TO SMALL
01:54:07:00	01:54:10:00	BUSINESSES RESTAURANTS,
01:54:10:00	01:54:10:00	RESIDENTS.
01:54:10:00	01:54:11:00	OUR NEIGHBORS DID NOT CAUSE
01:54:11:00	01:54:15:00	THIS PEDESTRIAN SAFETY PROBLEM
01:54:15:00	01:54:15:00	SO THEY DON'T SEE WHY THEY
01:54:15:00	01:54:19:00	SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FAR.
01:54:19:00	01:54:20:00	IN MY OPINION IT'S NOT THE TIME
01:54:20:00	01:54:22:00	FOR ANOTHER TAX IN BOSTON.
01:54:22:00	01:54:23:00	LET'S BE CLEAR PEDESTRIAN
01:54:23:00	01:54:24:00	SAFETY HAS BEEN ONE OF THE TOP
01:54:24:00	01:54:26:00	ISSUES WE FACE IN THE CITY FOR
01:54:26:00	01:54:26:00	YEARS.
01:54:26:00	01:54:30:00	BUT IN THE LAST 18 TO 24 MONTHS
01:54:30:00	01:54:33:00	WE CAN ALL AGREE IT HAS BECOME
01:54:33:00	01:54:34:00	INCREASINGLY WORSE WITH THE
01:54:34:00	01:54:34:00	PRESENCE OF MANY OF THESE
01:54:34:00	01:54:37:00	DRIVERS ON MOPEDS OR OTHER
01:54:37:00	01:54:38:00	DEVICES IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD
01:54:38:00	01:54:41:00	ACROSS THE CITY.
01:54:41:00	01:54:42:00	I HAVE CALLED FOR A HEARING AND
01:54:42:00	01:54:44:00	HAD HEARINGS WITH
01:54:44:00	01:54:45:00	COUNCILOR O'MALLEY
01:54:45:00	01:54:48:00	COUNCIL FLOWERY ABOUT HOW THESE
01:54:48:00	01:54:49:00	MOM AND POP SHOPS ALL OVER THE
01:54:49:00	01:54:50:00	CITY WERE STRUGGLING
01:54:50:00	01:54:52:00	RESTAURANTS BECAUSE OF LARGE
01:54:52:00	01:54:56:00	CORPORATIONS THAT WERE CHARGING
01:54:56:00	01:54:57:00	PERCENTAGE TO ADVERTISE ON
01:54:57:00	01:55:00:00	THEIR SITE OR USE THEIR
01:55:00:00	01:55:00:00	TRANSPORTATION SERVICES.
01:55:00:00	01:55:04:00	BUT NOW OUR PEDESTRIAN ROAD
01:55:04:00	01:55:04:00	SAFETY PROBLEMS HAVE GOTTEN
01:55:04:00	01:55:07:00	WORSE WITH MANY DRIVERS FOR
01:55:07:00	01:55:08:00	THESE LARGE CORPORATIONS NOT
01:55:08:00	01:55:11:00	FOLLOWING THE RULES OF THE
01:55:11:00	01:55:11:00	ROAD.
01:55:11:00	01:55:12:00	I THINK WE ALL AGREE ON THAT
01:55:12:00	01:55:15:00	ALMOST EVERY DAY.
01:55:15:00	01:55:15:00	SOMEONE TELLS ME ABOUT SOMEONE
01:55:15:00	01:55:19:00	GOING FOR A RED LIGHT, A STOP
01:55:19:00	01:55:21:00	SIGN OR THE WRONG WAY ON A ONE
01:55:21:00	01:55:25:00	WAY STREET ON THE SIDEWALK.
01:55:25:00	01:55:25:00	LAST FEBRUARY I RAISED THE
01:55:25:00	01:55:29:00	ISSUE IN A HEARING ORDER TO
01:55:29:00	01:55:29:00	DISCUSS COMMUNITY PROCESS
01:55:29:00	01:55:30:00	RELATING TO BOSTON
01:55:30:00	01:55:33:00	TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT.
01:55:33:00	01:55:34:00	AT THAT TIME I SAID INSTEAD
01:55:34:00	01:55:37:00	OF THE CITY REFUSING TO ENGAGE
01:55:37:00	01:55:37:00	WITH NEIGHBORHOOD NEIGHBORHOODS
01:55:37:00	01:55:40:00	ON STREET, WE REDESIGNS WITH
01:55:40:00	01:55:41:00	THE TOP DOWN APPROACH WE SHOULD
01:55:41:00	01:55:44:00	INSTEAD FOCUS ON LISTENING,
01:55:44:00	01:55:45:00	LISTENING TO NEIGHBORS AND
01:55:45:00	01:55:48:00	ADDRESS PEDESTRIAN DUE TO THE
01:55:48:00	01:55:51:00	INCREASE OF MOPEDS.
01:55:51:00	01:55:52:00	FOR THE LAST YEAR I HAVE
01:55:52:00	01:55:53:00	ADVOCATED FOR RESIDENTS ACROSS
01:55:53:00	01:55:55:00	BOSTON WHO SHARE THESE SERIOUS
01:55:55:00	01:55:56:00	CONCERNS WHETHER IT WAS THE
01:55:56:00	01:56:00:00	ADMINISTRATION THE PRESS OR THE
01:56:00:00	01:56:00:00	MEDIA.
01:56:00:00	01:56:01:00	I HAVE SAID I HAVE REPEATEDLY
01:56:01:00	01:56:07:00	ADVOCATED FOR IF YOU GO MORE
01:56:07:00	01:56:07:00	THAN 20 MILES PER HOUR YOU
01:56:07:00	01:56:10:00	SHOULD HAVE THE LICENSE, YOU
01:56:10:00	01:56:11:00	SHOULD BE REGISTERED AND HAVE
01:56:11:00	01:56:14:00	LIABILITY INSURANCE IN THE
01:56:14:00	01:56:14:00	EVENT OF A CRASH.
01:56:14:00	01:56:18:00	NO EXCEPTIONS.
01:56:18:00	01:56:18:00	IN MY OPINION THIS ORDINANCE IS
01:56:18:00	01:56:19:00	A GOOD START AND I WANT TO SAY
01:56:19:00	01:56:21:00	THANK YOU TO THE COUNCIL.
01:56:21:00	01:56:25:00	THIS IS WHY I CALLED FOR A
01:56:25:00	01:56:25:00	HEARING ON HAVING ALL ROAD
01:56:25:00	01:56:28:00	USERS AGAIN TO BE LICENSED,
01:56:28:00	01:56:29:00	REGISTERED AND INSURED TO MAKE
01:56:29:00	01:56:30:00	SURE EVERYONE IS PLAYING BY THE
01:56:30:00	01:56:32:00	SAME RULES.
01:56:32:00	01:56:33:00	BOSTON CAN NO LONGER BE THE
01:56:33:00	01:56:34:00	WILD WEST.
01:56:34:00	01:56:36:00	WE MADE SOME IMPROVEMENTS ON
01:56:36:00	01:56:37:00	BOYLSTON STREET WHICH I
01:56:37:00	01:56:41:00	REPRESENT IN THE BACK BAY SOME
01:56:41:00	01:56:44:00	IMPROVEMENTS BUT NEEDS TO GO
01:56:44:00	01:56:45:00	FURTHER THAN THAT WHETHER IT'S
01:56:45:00	01:56:49:00	CARS, MOPEDS, DIRT BIKES,
01:56:49:00	01:56:49:00	ELECTRIC BIKES OR BIKES
01:56:49:00	01:56:52:00	EVERYONE HAS TO BE OBEYING THE
01:56:52:00	01:56:53:00	SAME RULES OF THE ROAD.
01:56:53:00	01:56:55:00	WE CAN'T HAVE RULES FOR ONE SET
01:56:55:00	01:56:56:00	OF ROAD USERS AND ANOTHER SET
01:56:56:00	01:56:59:00	FOR OTHERS.
01:56:59:00	01:56:59:00	I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES THAT IT
01:56:59:00	01:57:02:00	CAN NO LONGER BE THE WILD WEST
01:57:02:00	01:57:03:00	HERE.
01:57:03:00	01:57:03:00	ANYTHING GOES.
01:57:03:00	01:57:06:00	IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS WE HAVE
01:57:06:00	01:57:07:00	TO BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES
01:57:07:00	01:57:07:00	HERE.
01:57:07:00	01:57:10:00	IT'S CLEARLY CREATED AN UNSAFE
01:57:10:00	01:57:11:00	AND BIO ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL
01:57:11:00	01:57:14:00	ROAD USERS AND PEDESTRIANS AND
01:57:14:00	01:57:18:00	I OFTEN SEE PEOPLE WALKING ON
01:57:18:00	01:57:18:00	THE SIDEWALKS ELDERLY PEOPLE
01:57:18:00	01:57:22:00	PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN IT
01:57:22:00	01:57:26:00	IN A MOPED, A BICYCLE.
01:57:26:00	01:57:26:00	SOMEONE WILL BE DRIVING TOWARDS
01:57:26:00	01:57:26:00	THEM.
01:57:26:00	01:57:30:00	I'M ON THE SIDEWALK.
01:57:30:00	01:57:30:00	THANK YOU.
01:57:30:00	01:57:33:00	METRO.
01:57:33:00	01:57:34:00	THANK YOU.
01:57:34:00	01:57:34:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
01:57:34:00	01:57:35:00	COUNCILOR MCGILL.
01:57:35:00	01:57:35:00	YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
01:57:35:00	01:57:37:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
01:57:37:00	01:57:40:00	AND I WANT TO THANK THE CHAIR
01:57:40:00	01:57:44:00	AND I THINK IT'S WE'RE IN A
01:57:44:00	01:57:45:00	VERY INTERESTING TIME IN THE
01:57:45:00	01:57:48:00	WORLD OF POLITICS AND I JUST
01:57:48:00	01:57:49:00	WANT TO CLARIFY A FEW THINGS.
01:57:49:00	01:57:51:00	I KNOW COUNCILOR DURKIN MADE
01:57:51:00	01:57:52:00	SOME REFERENCE TO LOBBYING
01:57:52:00	01:57:56:00	FOLKS THAT THEY WON BUT NO ONE
01:57:56:00	01:57:56:00	EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT'S A KNOCK
01:57:56:00	01:57:57:00	ON MY DOOR ASKING ME TO DO
01:57:57:00	01:58:00:00	ANYTHING.
01:58:00:00	01:58:01:00	I'M NOT GOING TO LISTEN TO
01:58:01:00	01:58:01:00	ANYBODY BUT THE PEOPLE THAT I
01:58:01:00	01:58:01:00	SERVE.
01:58:01:00	01:58:03:00	SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE CLEAR
01:58:03:00	01:58:04:00	FOR THE RECORD THAT IF ANYONE
01:58:04:00	01:58:07:00	DID LOBBY ME I DIDN'T GET THE
01:58:07:00	01:58:08:00	MEMO SO AND IF THEY DID I DON'T
01:58:08:00	01:58:11:00	RESPOND TO SUCH A THING.
01:58:11:00	01:58:12:00	SO I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT THEY
01:58:12:00	01:58:14:00	WERE NOT KNOCKING ON MY DOOR
01:58:14:00	01:58:15:00	AND SO EVERY DECISION I MAKE IS
01:58:15:00	01:58:18:00	BASED ON THE PEOPLE THAT I
01:58:18:00	01:58:19:00	SERVE.
01:58:19:00	01:58:19:00	SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
01:58:19:00	01:58:20:00	THAT WHENEVER I RISE TO SPEAK
01:58:20:00	01:58:22:00	THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS I'M
01:58:22:00	01:58:23:00	UTILIZING MY MICROPHONE FOR THE
01:58:23:00	01:58:26:00	PEOPLE, NOT FOR LOBBYISTS.
01:58:26:00	01:58:27:00	SO I WANT TO CLEAR THAT UP REAL
01:58:27:00	01:58:30:00	QUICK JUST SO NOBODY IS
01:58:30:00	01:58:31:00	CONFUSED ABOUT THE VOTES THAT I
01:58:31:00	01:58:33:00	TAKE OR WHY.
01:58:33:00	01:58:34:00	AND THEN THE OTHER PIECE I
01:58:34:00	01:58:37:00	THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR
01:58:37:00	01:58:38:00	US TO RECOGNIZE AROUND THIS
01:58:38:00	01:58:45:00	PARTICULAR CONVERSATION IS THAT

01:58:53:00	01:58:53:00	SAFETY AND I FEEL LIKE THERE
01:58:53:00	01:58:56:00	ARE SOME THINGS THAT COULD BE
01:58:56:00	01:58:56:00	LEGISLATED AND THEN THERE'S
01:58:56:00	01:58:57:00	OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING
01:58:57:00	01:59:00:00	TO NEED TO REALLY START LOOKING
01:59:00:00	01:59:01:00	AT HOW WE WORK WITH COMMUNITY
01:59:01:00	01:59:01:00	TO REALLY ADDRESS SOME OF THESE
01:59:01:00	01:59:03:00	ISSUES AND I FEEL LIKE NOT
01:59:03:00	01:59:04:00	EVERYTHING WE CAN'T LEGISLATE
01:59:04:00	01:59:07:00	HUMAN BEHAVIOR.
01:59:07:00	01:59:08:00	WE CAN'T YOU KNOW, THERE'S A
01:59:08:00	01:59:09:00	CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE'RE JUST
01:59:09:00	01:59:10:00	GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW

01:59:15:00	01:59:15:00	PARTICULARLY PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.

02:13:33:00	02:13:34:00	CONGREGATION THERE.
02:13:34:00	02:13:37:00	IT'S NOT GONE BUT IT HAS
02:13:37:00	02:13:37:00	SPREAD.

02:13:41:00	02:13:44:00	AMAZING JOB IN THAT AREA WITH

02:13:44:00	02:13:48:00	DEVELOPMENT WHERE SHE HAS STAFF
02:13:48:00	02:13:49:00	THAT SHE PAYS.
02:13:49:00	02:13:52:00	IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE DOWNTOWN
02:13:52:00	02:13:53:00	BID IS ALSO GOING TO TRY TO
02:13:53:00	02:13:54:00	MODEL AFTER THAT.
02:13:54:00	02:13:57:00	BUT TO PIECE TOGETHER THESE
02:13:57:00	02:14:00:00	OTHER PROGRAMS AND KNOWING THAT
02:14:00:00	02:14:00:00	THE THIS SYRINGE REDEMPTION
02:14:00:00	02:14:04:00	PROGRAM WAS PICKING UP A
02:14:04:00	02:14:04:00	MAJORITY OF OUR SYRINGES, I
02:14:04:00	02:14:07:00	THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
02:14:07:00	02:14:08:00	CONSIDER GOING INTO THE BUDGET
02:14:08:00	02:14:09:00	SEASON WHAT WE ADVOCATE FOR IT
02:14:09:00	02:14:12:00	TO BE PLACED BACK INTO THE
02:14:12:00	02:14:12:00	BUDGET AND I DO JUST WANT TO
02:14:12:00	02:14:15:00	HIGHLIGHT IT'S BEEN BROUGHT UP
02:14:15:00	02:14:15:00	AT MANY COMMUNITY MEETINGS WHEN
02:14:15:00	02:14:19:00	THE STREET OUTREACH PROGRAM IS
02:14:19:00	02:14:20:00	THERE THEY DO TALK ABOUT THEIR
02:14:20:00	02:14:22:00	NEW APPROACH THAT THE MAYOR THE
02:14:22:00	02:14:23:00	ADMINISTRATION IS NOW
02:14:23:00	02:14:23:00	IMPLEMENTING THAT THERE IS NO
02:14:23:00	02:14:27:00	LONGER OF ANY PUBLIC DRUG USE
02:14:27:00	02:14:31:00	OR DRUG SALE AND THAT THOSE WHO
02:14:31:00	02:14:31:00	ARE FOUND EITHER USING DRUGS OR
02:14:31:00	02:14:35:00	SELLING DRUGS IN PUBLIC WILL BE
02:14:35:00	02:14:35:00	ARRESTED.
02:14:35:00	02:14:36:00	I KNOW MANY OF US HAD QUESTIONS
02:14:36:00	02:14:38:00	BECAUSE WE STILL SEE A LARGE
02:14:38:00	02:14:39:00	AMOUNT OF THAT HAPPENING ACROSS
02:14:39:00	02:14:42:00	THE CITY BUT OBVIOUSLY PUBLIC
02:14:42:00	02:14:43:00	DRUG USE AND DISCARDING
02:14:43:00	02:14:46:00	SYRINGES IN PUBLIC PLACES GO
02:14:46:00	02:14:47:00	DIRECTLY HAND IN HAND.
02:14:47:00	02:14:50:00	SO WORKING WITH THE STREET
02:14:50:00	02:14:51:00	OUTREACH TEAM ON MAKING SURE
02:14:51:00	02:14:54:00	THAT THERE IS A STRONG
02:14:54:00	02:14:54:00	PARTNERSHIP WITH THE POLICE
02:14:54:00	02:14:55:00	DEPARTMENT AND ALSO THE DA'S
02:14:55:00	02:14:58:00	OFFICE TO MAKE SURE THAT
02:14:58:00	02:14:58:00	CONTINUES.
02:14:58:00	02:15:01:00	I HEAR FROM COMMUNITIES IF IT'S
02:15:01:00	02:15:05:00	DUDLEY OR IF IT'S ANDREW SQUARE
02:15:05:00	02:15:06:00	OR HYDE PARK THAT NEIGHBORS
02:15:06:00	02:15:07:00	WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT
02:15:07:00	02:15:09:00	WHEN THERE'S PUBLIC DRUG USE
02:15:09:00	02:15:10:00	THE POLICE ARE IMPLEMENTING THE
02:15:10:00	02:15:13:00	LAWS THAT ARE ALREADY ON THE
02:15:13:00	02:15:16:00	BOOKS TO MAKE THAT LESS OF A
02:15:16:00	02:15:17:00	NEGATIVE IMPACT TO OUR
02:15:17:00	02:15:17:00	COMMUNITIES.
02:15:17:00	02:15:20:00	SO I DO KNOW THAT THEY DID SAY
02:15:20:00	02:15:21:00	DR. OJUKWU STATED THAT THE
02:15:21:00	02:15:24:00	MAYOR HAS NOT PUT IT BACK INTO
02:15:24:00	02:15:24:00	THE BUDGET COMING UP AND SO WE
02:15:24:00	02:15:27:00	HAVE LOTS OF TOUGH
02:15:27:00	02:15:27:00	CONVERSATIONS COMING UP.
02:15:27:00	02:15:28:00	I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
02:15:28:00	02:15:32:00	BUDGET BEING RELEASED SOON AND

02:15:51:00	02:15:54:00	IT'S AN IMPORTANT ISSUE THIS
02:15:54:00	02:15:57:00	NEEDLE PICK PROGRAM SPONSORED
02:15:57:00	02:15:58:00	BY THE CITY OF BOSTON WAS
02:15:58:00	02:15:58:00	WORKING.
02:15:58:00	02:16:02:00	IT WAS AN EFFECTIVE PROGRAM.
02:16:02:00	02:16:02:00	MONEY THAT SUPPORTED THIS
02:16:02:00	02:16:06:00	PROGRAM WAS THE FEDERAL MONEY.
02:16:06:00	02:16:07:00	NOW THAT THE FEDERAL MONEY HAS
02:16:07:00	02:16:10:00	DRIED UP, THE PROGRAM WILL NOT
02:16:10:00	02:16:13:00	BE FUNDED BUT THERE SHOULD BE
02:16:13:00	02:16:14:00	ROOM IN THE BUDGET FOR AN

02:16:57:00	02:17:00:00	IT WORKS NOW SOME CASH THE
02:17:00:00	02:17:01:00	TENTS ARE DOWN BUT THE PROBLEM
02:17:01:00	02:17:04:00	HAS SPREAD THROUGHOUT
02:17:04:00	02:17:04:00	THROUGHOUT THE CITY BUT
02:17:04:00	02:17:07:00	ESPECIALLY IN MY DISTRICT AND I

02:17:11:00	02:17:16:00	THE OTHER ISSUE I DID WANT TO I
02:17:16:00	02:17:16:00	DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT I KNOW
02:17:16:00	02:17:19:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY MENTIONED THAT
02:17:19:00	02:17:22:00	THE RECENT CHANGE IN POLICY TO
02:17:22:00	02:17:23:00	NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO USE TO USE
02:17:23:00	02:17:26:00	DRUGS PUBLICLY IS SOMETHING
02:17:26:00	02:17:27:00	I'VE ADVOCATED AS AS WE ALL
02:17:27:00	02:17:29:00	KNOW HERE FOR MANY YEARS.
02:17:29:00	02:17:33:00	YOU KNOW ANYONE THAT'S USING
02:17:33:00	02:17:37:00	DRUGS IN PUBLIC THEY NEED A
02:17:37:00	02:17:37:00	DETOX BED.
02:17:37:00	02:17:41:00	THEY NEED RECOVERY SERVICES.
02:17:41:00	02:17:41:00	THAT'S WHAT THEY NEED.
02:17:41:00	02:17:42:00	THEY THEY CAN'T BE ON THE
02:17:42:00	02:17:44:00	STREETS USING DRUGS IF THEY'RE

02:17:52:00	02:17:52:00	ARRESTED.
02:17:52:00	02:17:53:00	I DID THAT AS A PROBATION
02:17:53:00	02:17:53:00	OFFICER.
02:17:53:00	02:17:56:00	I GOT MORE PEOPLE INTO DRUG
02:17:56:00	02:17:56:00	TREATMENT PROGRAMS THAN
02:17:56:00	02:17:59:00	PROBABLY ANYONE AROUND HERE.
02:17:59:00	02:18:02:00	THE SECOND POINT THE OTHER
02:18:02:00	02:18:06:00	POINT I WANTED TO MAKE THE
02:18:06:00	02:18:07:00	OTHER POINT I WANTED TO MAKE
02:18:07:00	02:18:14:00	WAS THERE WAS A RECENT STUDY

02:18:36:00	02:18:40:00	WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT
02:18:40:00	02:18:40:00	THIS CRISIS.
02:18:40:00	02:18:42:00	I'M GOING TO CALL FOR A PUBLIC
02:18:42:00	02:18:44:00	HEARING ON THIS BUT THAT'S
02:18:44:00	02:18:48:00	SOMETHING IF IF WE'RE SERIOUS
02:18:48:00	02:18:48:00	ABOUT PUBLIC HEALTH, THIS

02:31:14:00	02:31:18:00	DECENT AND DIGNIFIED HOUSING.
02:31:18:00	02:31:19:00	FOR FAR TOO LONG BOSTON HAS HAD
02:31:19:00	02:31:22:00	TENANTS LIVING WITH MOLD BROKEN
02:31:22:00	02:31:22:00	.
02:31:22:00	02:31:25:00	HE WROTE IN INFESTATIONS FIRE
02:31:25:00	02:31:26:00	HAZARDS WHILE SOME PROPERTY
02:31:26:00	02:31:30:00	OWNERS DODGE ACCOUNTABILITY,
02:31:30:00	02:31:31:00	IGNORE CITY INSPECTORS AND
02:31:31:00	02:31:32:00	CONTINUE TO COLLECT RENT AS
02:31:32:00	02:31:35:00	NOTHING IS WRONG.
02:31:35:00	02:31:35:00	SLUMLORDS IS THE OTHER KEY WORD
02:31:35:00	02:31:38:00	FOR THEM.
02:31:38:00	02:31:39:00	THIS ORDINANCE IS ABOUT RAISING
02:31:39:00	02:31:42:00	THE BAR FOR WHAT WE ALLOW IN
02:31:42:00	02:31:43:00	OUR CITY AND MAKING SURE THAT
02:31:43:00	02:31:43:00	CODE ENFORCEMENT HAPPENS BY
02:31:43:00	02:31:46:00	CREATING A SCUFFLE PROPERTY
02:31:46:00	02:31:47:00	OWNERS LIST.
02:31:47:00	02:31:49:00	WE ARE SHINING A LIGHT ON THE
02:31:49:00	02:31:50:00	WORST REPEAT OFFENDERS THOSE
02:31:50:00	02:31:54:00	WHO WILLFULLY AND CONSISTENTLY
02:31:54:00	02:31:54:00	NEGLECT THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES
02:31:54:00	02:31:57:00	EVEN AFTER WARNINGS VIOLATIONS
02:31:57:00	02:31:58:00	AND COURT PROCEEDINGS.
02:31:58:00	02:31:58:00	THIS ISN'T ABOUT JUST
02:31:58:00	02:32:01:00	PENALIZING SMALL LANDLORDS WHO
02:32:01:00	02:32:02:00	ARE TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT
02:32:02:00	02:32:02:00	THINGS.
02:32:02:00	02:32:05:00	THIS ORDINANCE TARGETS CHRONIC
02:32:05:00	02:32:09:00	DOCUMENTED CASES WHERE HEALTH
02:32:09:00	02:32:09:00	AND THE SAFETY OF VIOLATIONS GO
02:32:09:00	02:32:10:00	UNADDRESSED UNADDRESSED
02:32:10:00	02:32:13:00	SOMETIMES FOR YEARS PUTTING
02:32:13:00	02:32:13:00	TENANTS AT RISK AND UNDERMINING
02:32:13:00	02:32:16:00	THE CREDIBILITY OF OUR
02:32:16:00	02:32:17:00	ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM.
02:32:17:00	02:32:17:00	THIS ORDINANCE GIVES US THE
02:32:17:00	02:32:21:00	TEETH IT RESTRICTS OF SCOFFLAW
02:32:21:00	02:32:24:00	OWNERS FROM DOING THEIR
02:32:24:00	02:32:25:00	BUSINESS WITH THE CITY.
02:32:25:00	02:32:27:00	NO ZONING RELIEF, NO CITY LAND
02:32:27:00	02:32:28:00	, NO PUBLIC CONTRACTS UNLESS
02:32:28:00	02:32:29:00	THEY CLEAN UP THEIR ACT.
02:32:29:00	02:32:32:00	LITERALLY IT GIVES TENANTS AND
02:32:32:00	02:32:32:00	COMMUNITY MEMBERS ACCESS TO
02:32:32:00	02:32:36:00	TRANSPARENT DATA AND IT
02:32:36:00	02:32:37:00	REINFORCES THE IDEA THAT
02:32:37:00	02:32:40:00	HOUSING IS A HUMAN RIGHT NOT A
02:32:40:00	02:32:40:00	HUSTLE.
02:32:40:00	02:32:41:00	AND I ALSO JUST WANT TO ADD
02:32:41:00	02:32:44:00	THAT THIS IS THE SORT OF STUFF
02:32:44:00	02:32:47:00	THAT I THINK FOLKS CAN CONTINUE
02:32:47:00	02:32:48:00	TO IGNORE AND I'VE BEEN
02:32:48:00	02:32:51:00	COMPLAINING ABOUT ALL OF THESE
02:32:51:00	02:32:54:00	FOLKS, MANY OF WHICH ARE SOME
02:32:54:00	02:32:55:00	OF THEM ARE LARGE LLC WHO ARE
02:32:55:00	02:32:58:00	LITERALLY BUYING UP THE BLOCKS
02:32:58:00	02:32:59:00	AND HAVE NO REAL ACCOUNTABILITY
02:32:59:00	02:33:02:00	PARTICULARLY IN SPACES IN
02:33:02:00	02:33:03:00	PLACES LIKE ALLSTON AND
02:33:03:00	02:33:06:00	BRIGHTON WHERE THERE'S LOTS
02:33:06:00	02:33:06:00	OF ALSO COLLEGE STUDENTS.

02:41:40:00	02:41:40:00	THIS FORWARD AND LETTING
02:41:40:00	02:41:44:00	ME JOIN ON THIS.
02:41:44:00	02:41:45:00	I HEAR A LOT FROM RESIDENTS AND
02:41:45:00	02:41:48:00	THERE HAVE BEEN RECENT PROJECTS
02:41:48:00	02:41:51:00	WHERE THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS SAID
02:41:51:00	02:41:52:00	WE WANT YOU TO SUPPORT IT BUT
02:41:52:00	02:41:55:00	NOT IF THE CITY THE
02:41:55:00	02:41:56:00	ADMINISTRATION IS GOING TO PULL
02:41:56:00	02:41:59:00	BACK ON THE AMOUNT OF PARKING
02:41:59:00	02:42:00:00	THAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED.
02:42:00:00	02:42:01:00	SO AND I ALSO WANT TO PUT ON
02:42:01:00	02:42:03:00	THE RECORD HOW I DO BELIEVE
02:42:03:00	02:42:04:00	THAT BEING ABLE TO COMMUTE
02:42:04:00	02:42:07:00	FREELY WITHOUT A CAR FOR MANY
02:42:07:00	02:42:10:00	IS A LUXURY AND I KNOW THAT
02:42:10:00	02:42:11:00	COUNCIL THE INDUSTRY ANDERSON
02:42:11:00	02:42:12:00	YOU HAVE SAID THAT OFTEN ABOUT
02:42:12:00	02:42:15:00	THE NEED FOR A CAR AND THE COST
02:42:15:00	02:42:15:00	FOR A CAR.
02:42:15:00	02:42:18:00	FOR MANY OF US IT'S JUST A
02:42:18:00	02:42:19:00	NECESSITY THAT IF WE DIDN'T
02:42:19:00	02:42:20:00	HAVE IT WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO
02:42:20:00	02:42:23:00	DO, YOU KNOW, GET OUR KIDS TO

02:42:23:00	02:42:26:00	TO DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS.
02:42:26:00	02:42:27:00	SO WE DO HAVE TO KEEP THAT IN
02:42:27:00	02:42:30:00	MIND FOR AND ANOTHER WAY THAT
02:42:30:00	02:42:33:00	WE ARE PUSHING FAMILIES OUT
02:42:33:00	02:42:34:00	OF OUR CITY THAT WE NEED TO
02:42:34:00	02:42:35:00	MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT DOING THAT
02:42:35:00	02:42:37:00	IN INADVERTENTLY.
02:42:37:00	02:42:38:00	BUT I DO BELIEVE AS CITY
02:42:38:00	02:42:41:00	OFFICIALS WE MUST ENSURE THAT

02:42:45:00	02:42:49:00	TRANSPARENT AND ACCOUNTABLE.
02:42:49:00	02:42:50:00	IT'S ESSENTIAL THAT WE ADDRESS

02:42:53:00	02:42:53:00	TO WORK TOWARD SOLUTIONS THAT
02:42:53:00	02:42:54:00	ARE GOING TO BALANCE THE NEEDS
02:42:54:00	02:42:57:00	OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.
02:42:57:00	02:42:57:00	AND OFTENTIMES THE RESIDENTS
02:42:57:00	02:42:58:00	ARE SAYING THEY'RE NOT BEING
02:42:58:00	02:42:58:00	HEARD.
02:42:58:00	02:43:01:00	OUR RESIDENTS HAVE CONSISTENTLY
02:43:01:00	02:43:01:00	VOICED CONCERNS ABOUT HOW
02:43:01:00	02:43:05:00	TRANSPORTATION PLANNING IS
02:43:05:00	02:43:05:00	HANDLED WITHIN THIS PROCESS AND
02:43:05:00	02:43:09:00	WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THEIR
02:43:09:00	02:43:09:00	VOICES ARE HEARD AND THAT WE
02:43:09:00	02:43:13:00	REFLECT THEIR CONCERNS.
02:43:13:00	02:43:14:00	BUT ALSO WHAT YOU KNOW THAT ALL
02:43:14:00	02:43:14:00	VOICES ARE BEING HEARD.

02:43:22:00	02:43:23:00	RECOGNIZED AS KIND OF A JURY ON

02:43:36:00	02:43:36:00	THAT WE'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT

02:54:30:00	02:54:30:00	COUNCIL PRESIDENT.
02:54:30:00	02:54:33:00	I DO JUST WANT TO LIFT I STAND
02:54:33:00	02:54:34:00	TO SAY I DO BELIEVE FOR MYSELF
02:54:34:00	02:54:38:00	THAT UPLIFTING THE VOICES
02:54:38:00	02:54:38:00	OF OUR MOST VULNERABLE
02:54:38:00	02:54:41:00	RESIDENTS UM TAKE SHOULD TAKE
02:54:41:00	02:54:42:00	UP MOST OF MY ATTENTION BECAUSE
02:54:42:00	02:54:44:00	THEIR VOICES DON'T OFTEN GET
02:54:44:00	02:54:45:00	HEARD AND I THINK IT'S
02:54:45:00	02:54:48:00	IMPORTANT WHEN I LISTEN TO
02:54:48:00	02:54:52:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN TALK ABOUT THIS
02:54:52:00	02:54:52:00	HEARING ORDER THAT HE PUT
02:54:52:00	02:54:53:00	FORWARD.
02:54:53:00	02:54:55:00	IT REMINDED ME OF THE FIRST
02:54:55:00	02:54:55:00	MOTION THAT IT'S ON THE AGENDA
02:54:55:00	02:54:58:00	TODAY AND I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING
02:54:58:00	02:54:59:00	THAT THIS BODY HAS WORKED ON A
02:54:59:00	02:55:02:00	LOT ABOUT THE SCOFFLAW PROPERTY
02:55:02:00	02:55:03:00	OWNER LIST EVEN THOUGH THIS IS
02:55:03:00	02:55:06:00	A CITY DEPARTMENT.
02:55:06:00	02:55:07:00	IT IS YOU KNOW WE ARE LANDLORDS
02:55:07:00	02:55:10:00	AND WE HAVE TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT
02:55:10:00	02:55:10:00	FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND I HEAR
02:55:10:00	02:55:14:00	OFTEN AND HAVE BEEN TO SOME
02:55:14:00	02:55:14:00	OF THESE HOUSING UNITS WHERE
02:55:14:00	02:55:18:00	THERE IS MOLD AND THERE IS JUST
02:55:18:00	02:55:21:00	UNACCEPTABLE LIVING CONDITIONS
02:55:21:00	02:55:22:00	THAT WE CAN'T IGNORE AND WE
02:55:22:00	02:55:25:00	HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT AS A
02:55:25:00	02:55:26:00	BODY I DO BELIEVE LIKE YOU SAID

02:55:33:00	02:55:37:00	WHO VOICES ARE OFTEN NOT

03:06:07:00	03:06:10:00	OF YEARS AGO DID PUT SOME MONEY
03:06:10:00	03:06:11:00	I THINK I BELIEVE IT WAS A
03:06:11:00	03:06:11:00	THROUGH OPERA FUNDS WHERE WE
03:06:11:00	03:06:13:00	MADE SURE THAT WE WERE PAYING

03:06:43:00	03:06:43:00	THANK YOU, MR CHAIR.
03:06:43:00	03:06:47:00	I DO HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS ABOUT
03:06:47:00	03:06:51:00	HOW TO SUPPORT MAIN STREET AND
03:06:51:00	03:06:54:00	I'VE WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE
03:06:54:00	03:06:55:00	OFFICE OF SMALL BUSINESS AND
03:06:55:00	03:06:58:00	CHIEF ISSUE IN TERMS OF, YOU
03:06:58:00	03:06:59:00	KNOW, UNDERSTANDING HOW TO
03:06:59:00	03:07:02:00	SUPPORT THEM TO BE MORE MOST
03:07:02:00	03:07:03:00	EFFICIENT.
03:07:03:00	03:07:06:00	I'M OF THE OPINION THAT OR AT
03:07:06:00	03:07:10:00	LEAST I THINK ONE IDEA WOULD BE
03:07:10:00	03:07:10:00	TO ACTUALLY BRING THE DIRECTORS
03:07:10:00	03:07:14:00	TO CITY HALL TO ORDER NOT
03:07:14:00	03:07:14:00	NECESSARILY HERE PHYSICALLY BUT
03:07:14:00	03:07:17:00	UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE
03:07:17:00	03:07:18:00	CHIEF.
03:07:18:00	03:07:21:00	AND I THINK THAT OR UNDER A
03:07:21:00	03:07:22:00	DEPARTMENT OF SOME SORT WHERE
03:07:22:00	03:07:25:00	THEY COULD HAVE YOU KNOW, OVER
03:07:25:00	03:07:25:00	.
03:07:25:00	03:07:26:00	DIRECTOR OF THAT DEPARTMENT IN
03:07:26:00	03:07:28:00	THAT DEPARTMENT ARE DIRECTORS
03:07:28:00	03:07:29:00	AND THEN WE YOU WOULD HAVE
03:07:29:00	03:07:32:00	PEOPLE UNDER THESE DIRECTORS
03:07:32:00	03:07:33:00	WHO WOULD BE TECHNICAL
03:07:33:00	03:07:37:00	ASSISTANT COORDINATORS OR
03:07:37:00	03:07:37:00	MANAGERS THAT WOULD BE IN THE
03:07:37:00	03:07:41:00	DISTRICT AT LEAST 2 TO 3 AND
03:07:41:00	03:07:41:00	YOU COULD YOU COULD ACTUALLY
03:07:41:00	03:07:44:00	HAVE SORT OF A CALL CENTER THAT

03:09:02:00	03:09:03:00	DIRECTORS THE WAY IT'S
03:09:03:00	03:09:06:00	FUNCTIONING RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE
03:09:06:00	03:09:07:00	NEVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE
03:09:07:00	03:09:10:00	ENOUGH MONEY TO SUPPLEMENT FOR
03:09:10:00	03:09:11:00	ALL OF THESE TECH ASSISTANCE
03:09:11:00	03:09:13:00	AND ALL OF THESE RESOURCES THAT
03:09:13:00	03:09:14:00	THESE DIRECTORS NEED.
03:09:14:00	03:09:17:00	NOT ONLY DO THEY HAVE TO PAY
03:09:17:00	03:09:18:00	THEMSELVES BUT THERE'S THIS
03:09:18:00	03:09:18:00	OVERHEAD COST.
03:09:18:00	03:09:19:00	THEY HAVE TO FIND AN OFFICE.
03:09:19:00	03:09:22:00	THEY HAVE TO HAVE OVERHEAD.
03:09:22:00	03:09:22:00	THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH TO
03:09:22:00	03:09:25:00	ACTUALLY HIRE ASSISTANTS.
03:09:25:00	03:09:26:00	SO IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
03:09:26:00	03:09:30:00	THE REASON WHY AND YOU KNOW, TO
03:09:30:00	03:09:33:00	MY COUNCILOR COLLEAGUES POINT
03:09:33:00	03:09:34:00	THE REASON WHY ROSLINDALE WORKS
03:09:34:00	03:09:37:00	WELL IT'S NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE
03:09:37:00	03:09:38:00	MORE ADVANCED OR AHEAD, IT'S
03:09:38:00	03:09:41:00	BECAUSE THEY HAVE ACTUAL
03:09:41:00	03:09:41:00	COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO SIT ON
03:09:41:00	03:09:45:00	BOARDS WHO ACTUALLY FUNCTION AS
03:09:45:00	03:09:46:00	THE BOARD IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR
03:09:46:00	03:09:46:00	THIS NONPROFIT.
03:09:46:00	03:09:49:00	THEIR MAIN STREETS IN
03:09:49:00	03:09:50:00	ROSLINDALE SQUARE THEY RAISE
03:09:50:00	03:09:54:00	FUNDS AND SO BEING THAT THEY'RE
03:09:54:00	03:09:54:00	SO THEY'RE RESOURCEFUL AND
03:09:54:00	03:09:55:00	THEY'RE CONNECTED AND THEY HAVE
03:09:55:00	03:09:57:00	THESE FUNDRAISERS AND THEREFORE
03:09:57:00	03:09:58:00	HAVING MORE RESOURCES
03:09:58:00	03:10:01:00	COMMUNITIES OF COLOR OR
03:10:01:00	03:10:02:00	COMMUNITIES THAT ARE MORE
03:10:02:00	03:10:04:00	DISENFRANCHIZED DON'T HAVE
03:10:04:00	03:10:05:00	ACCESS TO SUCH RESOURCES
03:10:05:00	03:10:06:00	THEREFORE THE BOARDS DON'T
03:10:06:00	03:10:09:00	FUNCTION AS THEY'RE SUPPOSED
03:10:09:00	03:10:09:00	TO.
03:10:09:00	03:10:10:00	THE DIRECTORS NOT SUPPORTED THE
03:10:10:00	03:10:12:00	TECH ASSISTANCE AS MUCH AS WE
03:10:12:00	03:10:13:00	CAN PROVIDE FUNDING IS NOT
03:10:13:00	03:10:15:00	GOING TO BE ENOUGH.
03:10:15:00	03:10:16:00	SO I HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS.
03:10:16:00	03:10:17:00	I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT ON
03:10:17:00	03:10:19:00	FOR AND SAY YOU KNOW I APPLAUD

03:10:24:00	03:10:24:00	FORWARD TO THE CONVERSATION AND
03:10:24:00	03:10:27:00	I BUT I DO THINK THAT THERE'S
03:10:27:00	03:10:28:00	SOMETHING BIGGER THAN JUST THE
03:10:28:00	03:10:31:00	CITY SUPPORTING OR
03:10:31:00	03:10:32:00	SUPPLEMENTING FOR THE RESOURCES

03:21:23:00	03:21:24:00	I'M NOT GOING TO NAME THEM
03:21:24:00	03:21:24:00	BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THAT TO BE
03:21:24:00	03:21:25:00	TRUE.
03:21:25:00	03:21:26:00	BUT SOME OF THE THE COMMERCIAL
03:21:26:00	03:21:27:00	SPOTS THAT ARE EVERYWHERE IN
03:21:27:00	03:21:29:00	BOSTON ARE VERY EXPENSIVE.
03:21:29:00	03:21:30:00	IF PARENTS CANNOT GET THEIR
03:21:30:00	03:21:34:00	KIDS INTO THESE PROGRAMS IN MY
03:21:34:00	03:21:34:00	DISTRICT IN PARTICULAR HAS SEEN
03:21:34:00	03:21:37:00	A BABY BOOM ESPECIALLY IN
03:21:37:00	03:21:37:00	CHARLESTOWN AND WHILE WE DO
03:21:37:00	03:21:41:00	HAVE INCREDIBLE HOME CARE
03:21:41:00	03:21:42:00	PROVIDERS, THE EXPANSION
03:21:42:00	03:21:46:00	OF THIS PROGRAM IN THIS CAPSULE
03:21:46:00	03:21:46:00	MENTIONED IS IS NECESSARY AND
03:21:46:00	03:21:50:00	SO I THINK IT'S INCUMBENT UPON
03:21:50:00	03:21:50:00	ALL OF US TO PUSH FOR THAT
03:21:50:00	03:21:51:00	INCREASED FUNDING AND I WANT TO
03:21:51:00	03:21:54:00	SHOUT OUT MAYOR WOLF FOR FOR
03:21:54:00	03:21:57:00	EXPANDING THIS PROGRAM BECAUSE
03:21:57:00	03:21:57:00	SHE UNDERSTANDS HOW IMPORTANT
03:21:57:00	03:22:01:00	IT IS TO GET THAT GOOD START AS
03:22:01:00	03:22:01:00	YOU ARE BEGINNING ON AS THE
03:22:01:00	03:22:02:00	CHILD IS BEGINNING ON THEIR
03:22:02:00	03:22:05:00	LEARNING JOURNEY.
03:22:05:00	03:22:06:00	I ALSO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
03:22:06:00	03:22:08:00	JUST TO ENSURE THAT WHEN WE'RE
03:22:08:00	03:22:08:00	HAVING THIS CONVERSATION
03:22:08:00	03:22:09:00	BECAUSE I REMEMBER THAT THERE
03:22:09:00	03:22:10:00	WERE DIFFICULTIES AROUND
03:22:10:00	03:22:13:00	INFRASTRUCTURE AND SPACE RIGHT
03:22:13:00	03:22:13:00	NOW IN CHARLESTOWN IN
03:22:13:00	03:22:16:00	PARTICULAR THERE IS REALLY NO
03:22:16:00	03:22:17:00	NO PLACE TO EXPAND THIS PROGRAM
03:22:17:00	03:22:17:00	IF YOU WANTED TO.
03:22:17:00	03:22:20:00	SO I THINK THE INFRASTRUCTURE
03:22:20:00	03:22:21:00	COMPONENT HAS TO BE A PART
03:22:21:00	03:22:22:00	OF IT AND TRY TO FIGURING OUT
03:22:22:00	03:22:25:00	SOLUTIONS FOR THAT SPACE ISSUE.
03:22:25:00	03:22:26:00	SO JUST CALLING THAT OUT BUT
03:22:26:00	03:22:26:00	REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO THEIR
03:22:26:00	03:22:26:00	CONVERSATION.

03:22:30:00	03:22:30:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
03:22:30:00	03:22:32:00	COUNCILOR BREADON.

03:22:35:00	03:22:36:00	BRINGING THIS FORWARD.
03:22:36:00	03:22:36:00	I AGREE WITH YOU.
03:22:36:00	03:22:40:00	I HAVE HEARD FROM THE JEWISH
03:22:40:00	03:22:40:00	COMMUNITY THAT THEY'RE VERY
03:22:40:00	03:22:43:00	THEY THEY HAVE REACHED CAPACITY
03:22:43:00	03:22:44:00	IN THE IN THE TWO FACILITIES
03:22:44:00	03:22:45:00	THAT THEY RUN IN THE
03:22:45:00	03:22:47:00	NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE OTHER
03:22:47:00	03:22:51:00	FACILITIES HAS A WAITLIST AS
03:22:51:00	03:22:51:00	WELL.
03:22:51:00	03:22:55:00	SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A
03:22:55:00	03:22:56:00	SPRING EASTER EGG HUNT IN THE
03:22:56:00	03:22:59:00	NEIGHBORHOOD.
03:22:59:00	03:22:59:00	I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE KIDS ALL
03:22:59:00	03:23:00:00	COME FROM.
03:23:00:00	03:23:02:00	THERE'S SO MANY LITTLE KIDS AND
03:23:02:00	03:23:03:00	I DO KNOW THAT MANY FAMILIES
03:23:03:00	03:23:06:00	STRUGGLE WITH THE COST
03:23:06:00	03:23:07:00	OF CHILDCARE.
03:23:07:00	03:23:10:00	IT CAN COST AS MUCH AS COLLEGE
03:23:10:00	03:23:11:00	TUITION TO SEND A KID TO DAY
03:23:11:00	03:23:11:00	CARE WHEN THEY'RE LITTLE.
03:23:11:00	03:23:14:00	SO I LOOK FORWARD TO THE
03:23:14:00	03:23:15:00	CONVERSATION AND HOPE THAT WE
03:23:15:00	03:23:18:00	CAN WORK TO EXPAND THIS REALLY
03:23:18:00	03:23:18:00	VALUABLE PROGRAM IN THE CITY.

03:23:24:00	03:23:25:00	YOU MADAM PRESIDENT AND THANK
03:23:25:00	03:23:26:00	YOU TO MY COLLEAGUE FOR
03:23:26:00	03:23:29:00	BRINGING THIS AS AS A MOM WHO
03:23:29:00	03:23:32:00	HAD TO NAVIGATE TRYING TO FIND
03:23:32:00	03:23:33:00	A PLACE FOR MY DAUGHTER TO GO
03:23:33:00	03:23:36:00	TO AT A VERY LIMITED BUDGET.
03:23:36:00	03:23:36:00	I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS FOR
03:23:36:00	03:23:37:00	PARENTS AND OFTENTIMES PEOPLE
03:23:37:00	03:23:40:00	HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT
03:23:40:00	03:23:41:00	THEY'RE GOING TO STAY, KEEP A
03:23:41:00	03:23:43:00	JOB OR STAY AT HOME AND
03:23:43:00	03:23:44:00	OFTENTIMES YOU HAVE TO REDUCE
03:23:44:00	03:23:48:00	YOUR AMOUNT OF HOURS SO THAT
03:23:48:00	03:23:48:00	YOU CAN QUALIFY FOR VOUCHERS
03:23:48:00	03:23:51:00	AND IT'S JUST REALLY DIFFICULT
03:23:51:00	03:23:55:00	FOR FOLKS PARTICULARLY FOR LOW
03:23:55:00	03:23:55:00	INCOME FAMILIES.
03:23:55:00	03:23:57:00	SO I DO AGREE THAT THERE IS AN
03:23:57:00	03:23:59:00	OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO INCREASE
03:23:59:00	03:24:03:00	FUNDING AND I WANT TO GO BACK
03:24:03:00	03:24:03:00	TO SOMETHING COUNCILOR CLARISSA
03:24:03:00	03:24:06:00	BARBER MENTIONED IN REGARDS TO
03:24:06:00	03:24:06:00	INFRASTRUCTURE.
03:24:06:00	03:24:07:00	I KNOW THAT DURING THE UPPER
03:24:07:00	03:24:10:00	FUNDING OUR OFFICE SECURED OVER
03:24:10:00	03:24:11:00	$1,000,000 TO HELP SUPPORT AND
03:24:11:00	03:24:14:00	INCREASE MORE EARLY CHILDHOOD
03:24:14:00	03:24:15:00	EDUCATORS MORE FOR
03:24:15:00	03:24:18:00	NONTRADITIONAL HOURS AND I DO
03:24:18:00	03:24:18:00	THINK THAT THERE IS AN
03:24:18:00	03:24:21:00	OPPORTUNITY LIKE THEY SAY IF
03:24:21:00	03:24:22:00	THEY BUILD IT THEY WILL COME
03:24:22:00	03:24:24:00	RIGHT.
03:24:24:00	03:24:25:00	I THINK THAT THERE ARE ALREADY
03:24:25:00	03:24:28:00	A LOT OF HOME CENTER BASED
03:24:28:00	03:24:32:00	PROGRAMING AVAILABLE AND I
03:24:32:00	03:24:33:00	THINK THAT IF WE CAN START
03:24:33:00	03:24:35:00	THINKING ABOUT HOW WE SUPPORT
03:24:35:00	03:24:36:00	THOSE FOLKS AND ALLOW THEM TO
03:24:36:00	03:24:40:00	HAVE A FEW MORE SEATS, I THINK
03:24:40:00	03:24:43:00	THAT THAT CAN HELP WITH THE THE
03:24:43:00	03:24:44:00	INFRASTRUCTURE PIECE OF IT.
03:24:44:00	03:24:45:00	SO LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING
03:24:45:00	03:24:48:00	THE HEARING AND I DO WANT TO
03:24:48:00	03:24:51:00	ACKNOWLEDGE WHILE I'M UP HERE
03:24:51:00	03:24:54:00	THAT WHILE OUR DAYCARE
03:24:54:00	03:24:55:00	DOWNSTAIRS IS NOT PART OF THE
03:24:55:00	03:24:59:00	CONVERSATION IT ALSO IS
03:24:59:00	03:25:00:00	EXPENSIVE FROM WHAT I HEAR SO I
03:25:00:00	03:25:03:00	JUST WANT TO PUT THAT ON THE
03:25:03:00	03:25:04:00	RECORD THAT WE HAVE OUR OWN
03:25:04:00	03:25:07:00	WORK TO DO IN THE CITY
03:25:07:00	03:25:08:00	COUNCIL AND TRYING TO MAKE SURE
03:25:08:00	03:25:09:00	THAT FOLKS WHO WORK IN THIS
03:25:09:00	03:25:11:00	BUILDING CAN ALSO AFFORD TO
03:25:11:00	03:25:12:00	SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO THE
03:25:12:00	03:25:15:00	DAYCARE THAT WE HAVE DOWNSTAIRS
03:25:15:00	03:25:15:00	.
03:25:15:00	03:25:19:00	THANK YOU, COUNSELOR.
03:25:19:00	03:25:20:00	YEAH, IT'S A VERY ACTIVE ISSUE

03:28:48:00	03:28:51:00	VARIOUS FACTORS MANY THAT I SEE
03:28:51:00	03:28:52:00	ARE TREE ROOTS.
03:28:52:00	03:28:55:00	SO WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH
03:28:55:00	03:28:55:00	PLANTING TREES WHICH IS
03:28:55:00	03:28:56:00	IMPORTANT BUT AT THE SAME TIME
03:28:56:00	03:28:59:00	DEALING WITH AFTER THERE THEY
03:28:59:00	03:29:00:00	ARE FOR MANY YEARS THAT THE
03:29:00:00	03:29:00:00	ROOTS ARE PUSHING UP THE
03:29:00:00	03:29:02:00	SIDEWALK SOMETIMES A FEW FEET
03:29:02:00	03:29:03:00	UP OFF OF THE CURB WITH THE
03:29:03:00	03:29:06:00	GOAL OF MAINTAINING OUR SMOOTH

03:29:15:00	03:29:18:00	REMOVAL AND DAMAGES FROM TREE
03:29:18:00	03:29:19:00	ROOTS CONTINUE TO IMPEDE SAFE
03:29:19:00	03:29:22:00	PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT, WE HAVE TO
03:29:22:00	03:29:23:00	ENSURE EQUITABLE SIDEWALK
03:29:23:00	03:29:25:00	MAINTENANCE ACROSS ALL

03:32:08:00	03:32:09:00	IT'S IMPORTANT THAT OUR
03:32:09:00	03:32:09:00	SIDEWALKS ARE REGULARLY

03:32:39:00	03:32:40:00	IS ANYONE ELSE LOOKING TO

03:32:44:00	03:32:44:00	COUNCILOR IN COUNCIL.
03:32:44:00	03:32:45:00	YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
03:32:45:00	03:32:47:00	THANK YOU, MR VICE PRESIDENT.
03:32:47:00	03:32:48:00	TO COUNCILOR MURPHY AND
03:32:48:00	03:32:48:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN.
03:32:48:00	03:32:51:00	THANKS SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME AS
03:32:51:00	03:32:51:00	A RESIDENT CO-SPONSOR EVERY
03:32:51:00	03:32:54:00	WEEK MY OFFICE RECEIVES A CALL
03:32:54:00	03:32:55:00	ABOUT A STREET TREE THAT HAS
03:32:55:00	03:32:58:00	BROKEN, ELEVATED OR OTHERWISE
03:32:58:00	03:33:01:00	ALTERED A SIDEWALK.
03:33:01:00	03:33:02:00	IT WAS A RECENT CASE IN
03:33:02:00	03:33:02:00	ROSSENDALE JUST OFF
03:33:02:00	03:33:06:00	OF WASHINGTON STREET WHERE AN
03:33:06:00	03:33:06:00	ELDERLY WOMAN FELL AND HURT HER
03:33:06:00	03:33:09:00	JAW BECAUSE A SIDEWALK WAS MADE
03:33:09:00	03:33:10:00	UNSAFE BY STREET TREES ROOF
03:33:10:00	03:33:13:00	THAT ERUPTED THROUGH THE GROUND
03:33:13:00	03:33:13:00	.
03:33:13:00	03:33:13:00	IT ISN'T SUSTAINABLE TO COVER A
03:33:13:00	03:33:16:00	BROKEN SIDEWALK WITH ASPHALT
03:33:16:00	03:33:17:00	THAT BREAKS A YEAR LATER
03:33:17:00	03:33:21:00	ANYWAY, I WILL SAY MY DISTRICT
03:33:21:00	03:33:21:00	HAS THE BENEFIT OF A LARGE TREE
03:33:21:00	03:33:22:00	CANOPY WHICH PROVIDES NEEDED
03:33:22:00	03:33:25:00	SHADE AND EMISSIONS
03:33:25:00	03:33:25:00	MITIGATIONS.
03:33:25:00	03:33:25:00	SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME THAT
03:33:25:00	03:33:26:00	THE CITY ADOPT NOT ONLY A
03:33:26:00	03:33:29:00	FISCALLY SUSTAINABLE SYSTEM
03:33:29:00	03:33:29:00	OF FIXING UPROOTED SIDEWALKS
03:33:29:00	03:33:32:00	BUT ALSO AN ENVIRONMENTALLY
03:33:32:00	03:33:33:00	SUSTAINABLE ONE.
03:33:33:00	03:33:34:00	LAST YEAR I SUBMITTED A HEARING
03:33:34:00	03:33:36:00	ORDER ABOUT IMPLEMENTING
03:33:36:00	03:33:40:00	PERMEABLE SIDEWALK MATERIAL TO
03:33:40:00	03:33:41:00	BE INSTALLED WHERE THERE ARE
03:33:41:00	03:33:43:00	TREE PITS.
03:33:43:00	03:33:44:00	SO I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A
03:33:44:00	03:33:45:00	WAY FOR US TO BE
03:33:45:00	03:33:45:00	ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ABOUT
03:33:45:00	03:33:47:00	THIS WITHOUT HAVING TO GET RID
03:33:47:00	03:33:48:00	OF THE TREE.
03:33:48:00	03:33:51:00	I ALSO LEARNED THAT MANY YEARS
03:33:51:00	03:33:52:00	AGO CERTAIN TYPES OF TREES WERE
03:33:52:00	03:33:55:00	BEING USED THAT WERE NOT THEY
03:33:55:00	03:33:55:00	WERE NOT GOOD FOR SIDEWALKS.
03:33:55:00	03:33:56:00	SO I THINK THAT WE ALSO JUST
03:33:56:00	03:33:59:00	HAVE TO BE MINDFUL OF WHAT
03:33:59:00	03:33:59:00	TREES WE'RE USING GOING
03:33:59:00	03:33:59:00	FORWARD.
03:33:59:00	03:34:00:00	BUT I DO ALSO WANT TO GIVE A
03:34:00:00	03:34:02:00	SHOUT OUT TO JULIA CAMPBELL
03:34:02:00	03:34:03:00	FROM THE STREETS CABINET
03:34:03:00	03:34:06:00	BECAUSE SHE AND HER TEAM DID GO
03:34:06:00	03:34:07:00	OUT TO ROSLINDALE TO FIX THAT
03:34:07:00	03:34:10:00	SIDEWALK AND ACTUALLY IMPROVE
03:34:10:00	03:34:10:00	THE CONDITIONS TREMENDOUSLY.
03:34:10:00	03:34:14:00	HOWEVER, THAT DOESN'T DEFEAT
03:34:14:00	03:34:14:00	THE PURPOSE THAT WE HAVE
03:34:14:00	03:34:15:00	SIDEWALKS IN OUR DISTRICT THAT
03:34:15:00	03:34:18:00	LITERALLY THEY GO FLAT AND THEN
03:34:18:00	03:34:18:00	OUT OF NOWHERE THEY LOOK LIKE
03:34:18:00	03:34:21:00	THIS AND AS COUNCILMAN FLYNN
03:34:21:00	03:34:21:00	MENTIONED, YOU HAVE STROLLERS,
03:34:21:00	03:34:25:00	PEOPLE ON WHEELCHAIRS THAT CAN
03:34:25:00	03:34:26:00	NO LONGER USE THAT SIDEWALK.
03:34:26:00	03:34:27:00	SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
03:34:27:00	03:34:29:00	DO FIND A CREATIVE SOLUTION TO
03:34:29:00	03:34:29:00	THIS WHILE BEING FRIENDLY TO
03:34:29:00	03:34:32:00	OUR RESIDENTS BUT ALSO FRIENDLY
03:34:32:00	03:34:33:00	TO OUR ENVIRONMENT.
03:34:33:00	03:34:33:00	SO THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.
03:34:33:00	03:34:34:00	THANK YOU.
03:34:34:00	03:34:37:00	DID ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK
03:34:37:00	03:34:37:00	ON THIS MATTER?
03:34:37:00	03:34:41:00	I JUST WANT TO THANK
03:34:41:00	03:34:41:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY,

03:38:17:00	03:38:18:00	MANDATES TWO SEPARATE STAIRWAYS
03:38:18:00	03:38:19:00	FOR BUILDINGS ABOVE THREE FOR

03:38:27:00	03:38:28:00	DENSE TRANSIT RICH
03:38:28:00	03:38:28:00	NEIGHBORHOODS.
03:38:28:00	03:38:28:00	I HAVE ONE EXAMPLE.
03:38:28:00	03:38:31:00	129 PORTLAND STREET WHERE A
03:38:31:00	03:38:32:00	DEVELOPER GREG MCCARTHY IS

03:38:36:00	03:38:37:00	COUNCILOR CLOUD, HIS
03:38:37:00	03:38:37:00	CONSTITUENT SHARED THAT HE HAD

03:38:39:00	03:38:43:00	BUILDING FROM OFFICE TO
03:38:43:00	03:38:44:00	RESIDENTIAL IN THE BOSTON
03:38:44:00	03:38:44:00	TRIANGLE.
03:38:44:00	03:38:47:00	THAT IS REALLY WHAT STARTED
03:38:47:00	03:38:48:00	ME ON THIS PATH OF THINKING
03:38:48:00	03:38:50:00	THROUGH HOW WE MIGHT MAYBE
03:38:50:00	03:38:54:00	SHOULD AMEND AMEND THE BUILDING
03:38:54:00	03:38:54:00	CODE.
03:38:54:00	03:38:55:00	WE KNOW THAT THE MASSACHUSETTS
03:38:55:00	03:38:55:00	BUILDING CODE IS SOMETHING THAT
03:38:55:00	03:38:58:00	GETS VOTED AT THE STATE HOUSE.
03:38:58:00	03:38:59:00	SO IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED
03:38:59:00	03:39:02:00	TO LEAD ON NEED TO HAVE A
03:39:02:00	03:39:03:00	CONVERSATION ABOUT NEED TO
03:39:03:00	03:39:03:00	ENDORSE.
03:39:03:00	03:39:05:00	IT'S ALSO SOMETHING WHERE WE
03:39:05:00	03:39:06:00	NEED TO BRING ESD, THE FIRE
03:39:06:00	03:39:09:00	DEPARTMENT AND THE ADMIN TO THE
03:39:09:00	03:39:10:00	TABLE TO SEE HOW BOSTON CAN
03:39:10:00	03:39:12:00	LEAD ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE.
03:39:12:00	03:39:13:00	I LOOK FORWARD TO ROBUST
03:39:13:00	03:39:13:00	DISCUSSIONS AND INSIGHTS FROM
03:39:13:00	03:39:16:00	THE COMMUNITY.
03:39:16:00	03:39:16:00	PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICIALS AND
03:39:16:00	03:39:17:00	URBAN PLANNING EXPERTS.
03:39:17:00	03:39:20:00	BUT IT'S TIME THAT WE MODERNIZE
03:39:20:00	03:39:20:00	OUR BUILDING CODES TO BUILD
03:39:20:00	03:39:21:00	STRONGER, MORE SUSTAINABLE AND
03:39:21:00	03:39:24:00	EQUITABLE SOLUTIONS AND BUILD

03:39:36:00	03:39:39:00	CO-SPONSORS ON THIS ISSUE.
03:39:39:00	03:39:39:00	THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT
03:39:39:00	03:39:40:00	WAYS TO MAKE HOUSING PRODUCTION
03:39:40:00	03:39:43:00	MORE AFFORDABLE AND THIS IS ONE
03:39:43:00	03:39:43:00	OF THEM.
03:39:43:00	03:39:47:00	UPDATING OUR BUILDING CODE TO
03:39:47:00	03:39:47:00	ALLOW FOR SINGLE STAIR MID-RISE
03:39:47:00	03:39:50:00	HOUSING IS A MODERN STEP
03:39:50:00	03:39:50:00	FORWARD.
03:39:50:00	03:39:51:00	I STUMBLED UPON THIS ISSUE WHEN
03:39:51:00	03:39:54:00	I WAS TALKING TO A DEVELOPER
03:39:54:00	03:39:56:00	AND WE WERE TRYING TO GET MORE
03:39:56:00	03:39:59:00	THREE BEDROOMS INSIDE OF A UNIT
03:39:59:00	03:40:00:00	AND ONE OF THE BARRIERS TO
03:40:00:00	03:40:02:00	GETTING THAT THREE BEDROOM WAS
03:40:02:00	03:40:03:00	THE DOUBLE STAIRS.
03:40:03:00	03:40:06:00	I KNOW MY DISTRICT NEEDS THIS.
03:40:06:00	03:40:06:00	WE HAVE SMALL LOTS GROWING
03:40:06:00	03:40:09:00	FAMILIES AND A CLEAR DEMAND FOR
03:40:09:00	03:40:10:00	NOT ONLY FAMILY STYLE HOUSING
03:40:10:00	03:40:13:00	BUT JUST HOUSING IN GENERAL.
03:40:13:00	03:40:14:00	I OFTEN HEAR FROM DEVELOPERS
03:40:14:00	03:40:14:00	HOW DESIGN CONSTRAINTS AND
03:40:14:00	03:40:17:00	OUTDATED CODES CAN MAKE OR
03:40:17:00	03:40:17:00	BREAK A PROJECT ESPECIALLY WHEN
03:40:17:00	03:40:18:00	YOU'RE TRYING TO BUILD
03:40:18:00	03:40:18:00	AFFORDABLY.
03:40:18:00	03:40:20:00	SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS
03:40:20:00	03:40:21:00	CONVERSATION AND TO UPDATING
03:40:21:00	03:40:24:00	OUR BUILDING CODE.

03:40:34:00	03:40:36:00	THIS FORWARD.
03:40:36:00	03:40:36:00	I'M NOT GOING TO ADD MY NAME TO

03:40:37:00	03:40:39:00	WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE ZONING
03:40:39:00	03:40:40:00	IMPLICATIONS AND WHAT IT COULD
03:40:40:00	03:40:40:00	MEAN FOR WHAT WE JUST
03:40:40:00	03:40:43:00	CREATED AND PLAN EAST BOSTON I
03:40:43:00	03:40:44:00	DO THINK THAT SINGLE STAIR
03:40:44:00	03:40:47:00	HOUSING DOES ENCOURAGE HIGH
03:40:47:00	03:40:51:00	DENSITY BUILDING AND IT COULD
03:40:51:00	03:40:51:00	BE A WAY TO COMBAT THE
03:40:51:00	03:40:52:00	AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS.
03:40:52:00	03:40:55:00	I'M HAPPY TO HEAR THAT YOU WANT

03:40:55:00	03:40:56:00	BECAUSE I KNOW IN DENVER THE
03:40:56:00	03:40:58:00	FIRE DEPARTMENT DID HAVE SOME
03:40:58:00	03:40:59:00	ISSUES AND JUST MAKING SURE
03:40:59:00	03:41:00:00	THAT THERE WAS ENOUGH SAFETY
03:41:00:00	03:41:02:00	INVOLVED BUT THAT CAN BE EASILY
03:41:02:00	03:41:03:00	SOLVED WITH SPRINKLER SYSTEMS
03:41:03:00	03:41:03:00	AND ALL OF THAT.
03:41:03:00	03:41:06:00	BUT I'M NOT GONNA PUT MY NAME
03:41:06:00	03:41:06:00	ON IT QUITE YET BECAUSE I WANT
03:41:06:00	03:41:07:00	TO UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, WHAT
03:41:07:00	03:41:08:00	THE ZONING IMPLICATIONS ARE IN

03:47:14:00	03:47:14:00	THEY'RE WORTH REPEATING BECAUSE
03:47:14:00	03:47:15:00	THEY STILL REFLECT THE TRUTH.
03:47:15:00	03:47:18:00	WE'RE UP AGAINST BOSTON AS THE
03:47:18:00	03:47:18:00	11TH MOST SEGREGATED METRO AREA

03:47:29:00	03:47:32:00	OF WHITE HOUSEHOLDS IN 2020.
03:47:32:00	03:47:33:00	BLACK MORTGAGE APPLICANTS WERE
03:47:33:00	03:47:36:00	DENIED AT MORE THAN TWICE THE
03:47:36:00	03:47:36:00	RATE OF WHITE APPLICANTS.
03:47:36:00	03:47:40:00	TO ADD THAT BLACK OWNED HOME
03:47:40:00	03:47:40:00	OWNERSHIP RATES IN BOSTON HAVE
03:47:40:00	03:47:43:00	BEEN DECLINING.
03:47:43:00	03:47:43:00	AND WHILE WE'VE MADE SOME
03:47:43:00	03:47:47:00	PROGRESS MORE THAN A QUARTER
03:47:47:00	03:47:47:00	OF RENTERS IN BOSTON ARE
03:47:47:00	03:47:48:00	SPENDING OVER HALF THEIR INCOME
03:47:48:00	03:47:50:00	ON HOUSING.
03:47:50:00	03:47:51:00	OUR HOME PRICES ARE MORE THAN
03:47:51:00	03:47:55:00	SIX TIMES THE CITY'S MEDIAN
03:47:55:00	03:47:55:00	MEDIAN INCOME.
03:47:55:00	03:47:56:00	THE AFFORDABILITY CRISIS IS
03:47:56:00	03:47:58:00	HERE AND IT'S SQUEEZING OUR
03:47:58:00	03:47:59:00	COMMUNITIES EVERY SINGLE DAY.
03:47:59:00	03:48:02:00	AS SOMEONE WHO'S WORKED IN REAL
03:48:02:00	03:48:03:00	ESTATE, I HEAR FROM RESIDENTS
03:48:03:00	03:48:06:00	ACROSS MY DISTRICT EVERY DAY
03:48:06:00	03:48:06:00	I'VE SEEN HOW THIS PLAYS OUT
03:48:06:00	03:48:07:00	FAMILIES PRICED OUT
03:48:07:00	03:48:10:00	OF NEIGHBORHOODS THEY GREW UP
03:48:10:00	03:48:10:00	IN.
03:48:10:00	03:48:10:00	YOUNG PEOPLE GIVE UP ON
03:48:10:00	03:48:13:00	HOMEOWNERSHIP AND LONGTIME
03:48:13:00	03:48:14:00	RESIDENTS ARE STRUGGLING TO
03:48:14:00	03:48:17:00	STAY THERE HOUSING IS ONE
03:48:17:00	03:48:18:00	OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TOOLS WE
03:48:18:00	03:48:20:00	HAVE TO SHIFT THAT REALITY.
03:48:20:00	03:48:21:00	IT'S ABOUT PROTECTING PEOPLE
03:48:21:00	03:48:24:00	FROM DISCRIMINATION BUT IT'S
03:48:24:00	03:48:25:00	ALSO ABOUT EXPANDING ACCESS TO
03:48:25:00	03:48:28:00	OPPORTUNITY, STABILITY AND
03:48:28:00	03:48:28:00	WEALTH BUILDING.
03:48:28:00	03:48:29:00	THAT'S WHY WE CONTINUE TO PUSH
03:48:29:00	03:48:32:00	FOR THINGS LIKE HOMEOWNERSHIP
03:48:32:00	03:48:32:00	VOUCHERS, EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT
03:48:32:00	03:48:36:00	AND REAL ACCOUNTABILITY.
03:48:36:00	03:48:36:00	AND REAL ACCOUNTABILITY MEANS
03:48:36:00	03:48:40:00	BUILDING MORE FAMILY STYLE
03:48:40:00	03:48:40:00	HOUSING, CREATING MORE INCOME
03:48:40:00	03:48:43:00	RESTRICTED HOUSING BASED ON
03:48:43:00	03:48:44:00	NEIGHBORHOOD AFFORDABILITY,
03:48:44:00	03:48:44:00	STABILIZING FAMILIES THROUGH
03:48:44:00	03:48:48:00	HOMEOWNERSHIP AND NOT NOT
03:48:48:00	03:48:51:00	LIFTING RESTRICTED NEEDS.
03:48:51:00	03:48:52:00	OUR FAIR HOUSING LAWS ARE NOT
03:48:52:00	03:48:55:00	JUST WORDS BUT RIGHTS THAT ARE

03:54:47:00	03:54:51:00	I THOUGHT THAT THE COMMISSION

03:54:51:00	03:54:54:00	ISSUES OUR STUDENTS DESERVE

03:55:36:00	03:55:39:00	BUILDING AUTHORITY PROCESS IS
03:55:39:00	03:55:40:00	NOT MEETING THE URGENCY

03:55:43:00	03:55:44:00	IT SHOULD NOT TAKE EIGHT YEARS
03:55:44:00	03:55:47:00	TO BUILD A SCHOOL.

04:03:38:00	04:03:39:00	OF HEARING ORDERS AND TALKED
04:03:39:00	04:03:43:00	THAT THIS AGENDA AND THIS JUST
04:03:43:00	04:03:43:00	ACCIDENTALLY DID NOT GET
04:03:43:00	04:03:46:00	UPLOADED AND I REALIZED IT
04:03:46:00	04:03:47:00	AFTER 10 A.M. SO THIS IS WHY
04:03:47:00	04:03:48:00	IT'S COMING THROUGH AS A LATE
04:03:48:00	04:03:50:00	FILE SO I DID SWITCH THE
04:03:50:00	04:03:51:00	WORDING.
04:03:51:00	04:03:54:00	THANK YOU ALEX FOR MAKING SURE
04:03:54:00	04:03:55:00	I SWITCH SOME OF THE WORDING TO
04:03:55:00	04:03:56:00	MAKE SURE IT WOULD BE PROPERLY
04:03:56:00	04:03:58:00	BEFORE THE BODY I WAS I
04:03:58:00	04:04:02:00	ATTENDED THE YOUTH JOB FAIR ON
04:04:02:00	04:04:02:00	SATURDAY WHICH WAS EXCITING
04:04:02:00	04:04:05:00	WHEN I PULLED UP TO SEE A LOT
04:04:05:00	04:04:06:00	OF PEOPLE THERE.
04:04:06:00	04:04:10:00	I DO WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT I
04:04:10:00	04:04:10:00	SAW THE D SEVEN YOUTH ADVISORY

04:04:13:00	04:04:14:00	THEY ARE THEY WERE ENGAGING
04:04:14:00	04:04:15:00	WITH A LOT OF GREAT KIDS AND
04:04:15:00	04:04:18:00	FAMILIES WHO WERE INTERESTED IN
04:04:18:00	04:04:18:00	THAT YOUTH SUMMER JOB
04:04:18:00	04:04:20:00	OPPORTUNITY AND YOUR STAFF WAS
04:04:20:00	04:04:24:00	THERE SO THAT WAS GREAT TO SEE
04:04:24:00	04:04:24:00	.
04:04:24:00	04:04:25:00	ON MARCH 28TH THE CITY HOSTED
04:04:25:00	04:04:28:00	THE FUTURE BOTH USE AND JOB
04:04:28:00	04:04:31:00	FAIR WHICH I BELIEVE IT'S THE
04:04:31:00	04:04:32:00	SECOND YEAR WE'VE HAD IT THERE
04:04:32:00	04:04:33:00	I WENT LAST YEAR ALSO WHERE IT
04:04:33:00	04:04:35:00	AIMS TO CONNECT RESIDENTS WITH
04:04:35:00	04:04:39:00	POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS.
04:04:39:00	04:04:39:00	MIKE FOR YEARS NOW I HAVE FILED
04:04:39:00	04:04:42:00	A HEARING ORDER ON EARLY ON IN
04:04:42:00	04:04:43:00	THE YEAR TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
04:04:43:00	04:04:45:00	ARE ADDRESSING AND BREAKING
04:04:45:00	04:04:46:00	DOWN ANY BARRIERS KNOWING
04:04:46:00	04:04:49:00	ESPECIALLY AS THIS
04:04:49:00	04:04:49:00	ADMINISTRATION IS EXPANDING
04:04:49:00	04:04:52:00	THEIR COMMITMENT THAT EVERY
04:04:52:00	04:04:53:00	STUDENT AND KIDS ACROSS THE
04:04:53:00	04:04:57:00	CITY ARE GUARANTEED TO USE
04:04:57:00	04:04:57:00	SUMMER JOB AND WE'RE ALSO
04:04:57:00	04:04:58:00	EXPANDING THE FUNDING WE PUT
04:04:58:00	04:05:01:00	INTO MAKING SURE OUR NONPROFITS
04:05:01:00	04:05:04:00	ARE ALSO ABLE TO EMPLOY OUR
04:05:04:00	04:05:04:00	CITY KIDS.
04:05:04:00	04:05:08:00	SO KNOWING THAT THIS FAIR IS A
04:05:08:00	04:05:09:00	GREAT WAY TO CONNECT KIDS WHERE
04:05:09:00	04:05:12:00	THEY'RE NOT JUST LOOKING ON A
04:05:12:00	04:05:13:00	WEBSITE BUT CAN TALK TO THESE
04:05:13:00	04:05:16:00	POTENTIAL EMPLOYEES DIRECTLY.
04:05:16:00	04:05:17:00	SO I DO ALSO WANT TO THANK ALL
04:05:17:00	04:05:20:00	OF THE EMPLOYERS WHO SHOWED UP
04:05:20:00	04:05:21:00	, SET UP THEIR TABLES AND WHERE
04:05:21:00	04:05:24:00	THEY'RE ENGAGED READY TO TALK
04:05:24:00	04:05:24:00	TO OUR KIDS AND FORTUNATELY
04:05:24:00	04:05:25:00	WHEN I WALKED IN THOUGH THERE
04:05:25:00	04:05:28:00	WAS DEFINITELY A DIFFERENT
04:05:28:00	04:05:29:00	FEELING THE EVENT EXPERIENCED
04:05:29:00	04:05:32:00	SIGNIFICANT OVERCROWDING AND
04:05:32:00	04:05:35:00	INSUFFICIENT SECURITY MEASURES
04:05:35:00	04:05:36:00	INCLUDING WHAT I NOTICED AN
04:05:36:00	04:05:39:00	ABSENCE OF ANY POLICE DETAILS.
04:05:39:00	04:05:40:00	EVEN WHEN I PULLED UP I HAD TO
04:05:40:00	04:05:43:00	PARK NEAR THE POST OFFICE PAST
04:05:43:00	04:05:44:00	THE O'BRIENS UP THE STREET
04:05:44:00	04:05:47:00	BECAUSE A LOT OF THEM AND ALSO
04:05:47:00	04:05:48:00	A LOT OF CARS WERE, YOU KNOW,
04:05:48:00	04:05:50:00	DOUBLE PARKED AND KIDS TRYING
04:05:50:00	04:05:51:00	TO FIGURE OUT PARENTS TRYING TO
04:05:51:00	04:05:52:00	FIGURE OUT WHERE TO DROP THEIR
04:05:52:00	04:05:53:00	KIDS OFF.
04:05:53:00	04:05:54:00	SO EVEN JUST FOR THE TRAFFIC
04:05:54:00	04:05:58:00	FLOW, I DO BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE
04:05:58:00	04:05:58:00	EXPECTED TO SEE MORE POLICE
04:05:58:00	04:06:01:00	DETAILS AT THE EVENT OUTSIDE
04:06:01:00	04:06:01:00	THE EVENT ALSO.
04:06:01:00	04:06:02:00	BUT THIS LED TO THE VENUE
04:06:02:00	04:06:05:00	SECURITY PERSONNEL BEING
04:06:05:00	04:06:06:00	OVERWHELMED AND REACHING OUT TO
04:06:06:00	04:06:10:00	SOME OF THE MEMBERS THAT WERE
04:06:10:00	04:06:10:00	THERE ASKING FOR HELP.
04:06:10:00	04:06:13:00	THE INCIDENTS RESULTS IN SAFETY
04:06:13:00	04:06:14:00	RISK FOR ATTENDEES WHICH AS WE
04:06:14:00	04:06:17:00	KNOW PROMPTED EMPLOYEES TO
04:06:17:00	04:06:17:00	DEPART MIDWAY THROUGH THE FAIR
04:06:17:00	04:06:18:00	TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL
04:06:18:00	04:06:21:00	PARTICIPANTS WERE SAFE.
04:06:21:00	04:06:22:00	I BELIEVE IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT
04:06:22:00	04:06:25:00	WE LOOK AT ANY LAPSES OR MAKING
04:06:25:00	04:06:25:00	SURE THAT PERMITS WERE PULLED
04:06:25:00	04:06:28:00	TO MAKE SURE THAT CAPTAIN
04:06:28:00	04:06:29:00	HUSSEIN AND THE OTHER POLICE
04:06:29:00	04:06:29:00	DEPARTMENTS WERE AWARE BECAUSE
04:06:29:00	04:06:32:00	I KNOW THAT THEY WOULD HAVE
04:06:32:00	04:06:33:00	GLADLY BEEN PRESENT AT THIS
04:06:33:00	04:06:36:00	EVENT AND THEY ALWAYS ADVOCATE
04:06:36:00	04:06:36:00	ACROSS ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY
04:06:36:00	04:06:40:00	POLICE OFFICERS ADVOCATE FOR
04:06:40:00	04:06:40:00	OUR YOUTH TO HAVE, YOU KNOW,
04:06:40:00	04:06:44:00	EMPLOYMENT OVER THE SUMMER.
04:06:44:00	04:06:48:00	SO I BELIEVE IT'S ALSO YOU
04:06:48:00	04:06:48:00	KNOW, THERE'S A SHORT TIMELINE
04:06:48:00	04:06:49:00	OF APPLYING FOR SUMMER JOBS.
04:06:49:00	04:06:50:00	THEY ALWAYS SAY THE GOOD ONES
04:06:50:00	04:06:51:00	GO FIRST.
04:06:51:00	04:06:52:00	SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
04:06:52:00	04:06:55:00	WE HOLD THIS HEARING.
04:06:55:00	04:06:56:00	HOPEFULLY WE CAN FIND A TIME
04:06:56:00	04:06:58:00	MAYBE OUTSIDE OF OUR REGULAR
04:06:58:00	04:06:59:00	TEN AND 2:00 SLOTS WHICH I KNOW
04:06:59:00	04:07:02:00	ARE ALREADY FILLED UP FOR MANY
04:07:02:00	04:07:03:00	MONTHS TO TALK TO THE YOUTH JOB
04:07:03:00	04:07:06:00	AND RESOURCE FAIR.
04:07:06:00	04:07:07:00	I DO WANT TO THANK THE OFFICE
04:07:07:00	04:07:08:00	OF YOUTH EMPLOYMENT AND
04:07:08:00	04:07:10:00	OPPORTUNITY YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
04:07:10:00	04:07:11:00	THEY DID SEND OUT AN EMAIL AND
04:07:11:00	04:07:15:00	THEY DID HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE
04:07:15:00	04:07:15:00	STEPS THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE TO
04:07:15:00	04:07:18:00	TRY TO HELP MAKE SURE THAT
04:07:18:00	04:07:18:00	THEY'RE CONNECTING TO ANY KIDS
04:07:18:00	04:07:22:00	WHO DIDN'T GET AN OPPORTUNITY
04:07:22:00	04:07:23:00	THE OTHER DAY MANY FAMILIES AND
04:07:23:00	04:07:25:00	WHO'VE REACHED OUT AND I SAW
04:07:25:00	04:07:26:00	WHEN I WAS LEAVING THERE WAS
04:07:26:00	04:07:27:00	STILL A LINE OUTSIDE THE DOOR
04:07:27:00	04:07:30:00	THAT HADN'T EVEN MADE IT IN YET
04:07:30:00	04:07:30:00	TO SEE ANY OF THE POTENTIAL
04:07:30:00	04:07:31:00	EMPLOYERS.
04:07:31:00	04:07:34:00	SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS
04:07:34:00	04:07:34:00	HEARING HOPING THAT WHATEVER
04:07:34:00	04:07:37:00	COMMITTEE IT GOES INTO, IF IT'S
04:07:37:00	04:07:38:00	CLOSED ON IT, IF IT'S EDUCATION
04:07:38:00	04:07:42:00	THAT WE DO FREE UP THE TIME OR
04:07:42:00	04:07:43:00	MAKE AVAILABLE A SLOT IN A TIME
04:07:43:00	04:07:45:00	THAT ISN'T USUALLY WHEN WE MEET
04:07:45:00	04:07:48:00	TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE DOING
04:07:48:00	04:07:49:00	ALL WE CAN TO ENSURE THAT OUR
04:07:49:00	04:07:52:00	YOUTH GET JOBS AND HOPEFULLY BY

04:07:53:00	04:07:54:00	ANSWERS ABOUT OUR STUDENTS WITH
04:07:54:00	04:07:57:00	DISABILITIES BECAUSE I DID NOT
04:07:57:00	04:07:58:00	SEE MANY IF ANY AT ALL AT THE
04:07:58:00	04:08:00:00	FAIR.
04:08:00:00	04:08:01:00	SO MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ALSO
04:08:01:00	04:08:02:00	DOING ALL WE CAN TO MAKE SURE
04:08:02:00	04:08:04:00	OUR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS KNOW
04:08:04:00	04:08:04:00	WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE OUT
04:08:04:00	04:08:05:00	THERE FOR THEM.
04:08:05:00	04:08:08:00	THANK YOU.
04:08:08:00	04:08:08:00	THANK YOU.
04:08:08:00	04:08:09:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
04:08:09:00	04:08:11:00	CATASTROPHIC.
04:08:11:00	04:08:12:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
04:08:12:00	04:08:15:00	AND I WAS NOT AT THIS EVENT I
04:08:15:00	04:08:16:00	WAS AT A AN EVENT IN A NEARBY
04:08:16:00	04:08:19:00	NEIGHBORHOOD ON COLUMBIA ROAD
04:08:19:00	04:08:23:00	SPONSORED BY MEMORIAL IN
04:08:23:00	04:08:27:00	RECOGNITION OF MOSTLY WOMAN
04:08:27:00	04:08:30:00	OF COLOR POLICE OFFICERS.
04:08:30:00	04:08:31:00	I ALSO KNOW THAT MANY OF THE
04:08:31:00	04:08:34:00	COMMAND STAFF WERE ALSO AT THIS
04:08:34:00	04:08:35:00	EVENT AT MEMORIAL AND I KNOW
04:08:35:00	04:08:36:00	THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT THE
04:08:36:00	04:08:39:00	RAGING ALWAYS CENTER AS WELL.
04:08:39:00	04:08:39:00	I DO THINK THEY PROVIDE
04:08:39:00	04:08:42:00	EXCEPTION FOR LEADERSHIP AND
04:08:42:00	04:08:46:00	THE ACTORS ROLE MODELS AS WELL
04:08:46:00	04:08:46:00	BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE
04:08:46:00	04:08:50:00	IMPORTANT TO INCLUDE THEM INTO
04:08:50:00	04:08:50:00	THIS JOB TRAINING PROGRAM,
04:08:50:00	04:08:54:00	SUMMER JOB PROGRAM AT REGGIE
04:08:54:00	04:08:57:00	LEWIS CENTER AND THAT THEY HAVE
04:08:57:00	04:08:58:00	A LOT OF CREDIBILITY IN THE
04:08:58:00	04:08:58:00	CITY.
04:08:58:00	04:09:01:00	I ALSO KNOW THAT REGGIE GALVIS
04:09:01:00	04:09:04:00	CENTER IS NOT A CITY AGENCY BUT
04:09:04:00	04:09:05:00	BUT I DO THINK THERE SHOULD BE
04:09:05:00	04:09:08:00	SOME PUBLIC SAFETY SUPPORT
04:09:08:00	04:09:11:00	ESPECIALLY TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT
04:09:11:00	04:09:12:00	FOR RESIDENTS GOING TO THIS
04:09:12:00	04:09:16:00	IMPORTANT YOUTH JOB FAIR.
04:09:16:00	04:09:19:00	I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO
04:09:19:00	04:09:23:00	ACKNOWLEDGE THE WORK THAT THE
04:09:23:00	04:09:24:00	BOSTON PRIVATE INDUSTRY
04:09:24:00	04:09:27:00	COUNCIL DOES IN SUPPORTING OUR
04:09:27:00	04:09:28:00	YOUTH THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
04:09:28:00	04:09:31:00	MAYBE IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE
04:09:31:00	04:09:31:00	CITY OF BOSTON TO PARTNER MORE
04:09:31:00	04:09:35:00	CLOSELY WITH THE BOSTON TECH
04:09:35:00	04:09:35:00	PRIVATE INDUSTRY COUNCIL ON
04:09:35:00	04:09:39:00	ADMINISTRATING AND MANAGING
04:09:39:00	04:09:42:00	SOME OF THIS SUMMER YOUTH
04:09:42:00	04:09:42:00	EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS.
04:09:42:00	04:09:46:00	I THINK BOSTON SHOULD RELY ON
04:09:46:00	04:09:47:00	THE PIC FOR MANAGING
04:09:47:00	04:09:50:00	ADMINISTRATING THESE PROGRAMS.
04:09:50:00	04:09:51:00	THEY HAVE THE EXPERTISE TO DO
04:09:51:00	04:09:53:00	THAT JUST TO SUGGESTION.
04:09:53:00	04:09:57:00	THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
04:09:57:00	04:10:00:00	THANK YOU CHAIR RECOGNIZES THAT
04:10:00:00	04:10:03:00	COMES FROM HERE.
04:10:03:00	04:10:04:00	THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT.
04:10:04:00	04:10:05:00	I WAS DEBATING WHETHER OR NOT I
04:10:05:00	04:10:07:00	WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING BUT
04:10:07:00	04:10:08:00	WHEN AM I NOT THE ONE TO SPEAK
04:10:08:00	04:10:11:00	UP AND SAY WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE
04:10:11:00	04:10:12:00	ARE THINKING?
04:10:12:00	04:10:13:00	SO I'LL JUST SAY IT IS THAT
04:10:13:00	04:10:15:00	HAVING WORKED IN THE NONPROFIT
04:10:15:00	04:10:16:00	SECTOR AND WORKING WITH A LOT
04:10:16:00	04:10:18:00	OF PARENTS AND ORGANIZATIONS,
04:10:18:00	04:10:19:00	WE HAVE TO THINK THAT, YOU
04:10:19:00	04:10:22:00	KNOW, THINGS ARE GOING TO
04:10:22:00	04:10:22:00	HAPPEN AND SOMETIMES WE CAN'T
04:10:22:00	04:10:26:00	REGULATE WHAT HAPPENS IN SPACES
04:10:26:00	04:10:26:00	AND I THINK THAT THIS IS AN
04:10:26:00	04:10:29:00	OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO RECOGNIZE
04:10:29:00	04:10:30:00	THAT THERE ARE A LOT
04:10:30:00	04:10:30:00	OF NONPROFIT PARTNERS THAT WE
04:10:30:00	04:10:34:00	CAN BE COLLABORATING WITH AND
04:10:34:00	04:10:34:00	PARTNERING WITH TO HELP
04:10:34:00	04:10:34:00	SUPPORT.
04:10:34:00	04:10:37:00	AND I THINK THAT IT'S JUST
04:10:37:00	04:10:38:00	BIGGER ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THE
04:10:38:00	04:10:39:00	CITY WAS PREPARED OR WHAT THE
04:10:39:00	04:10:41:00	INFRASTRUCTURE WAS AND WHETHER
04:10:41:00	04:10:42:00	OR NOT THE POLICE YOU KNOW,
04:10:42:00	04:10:45:00	CAPACITY SITUATION.
04:10:45:00	04:10:46:00	I THINK THAT THIS JUST I THINK
04:10:46:00	04:10:49:00	THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US

04:11:16:00	04:11:19:00	I KNOW THAT COUNCILOR RURAL AS
04:11:19:00	04:11:20:00	WELL AS COUNCILOR ANDERSON I'VE
04:11:20:00	04:11:24:00	SEEN US ALL DO THAT AND I THINK
04:11:24:00	04:11:27:00	THAT THIS IS A SITUATION WHERE
04:11:27:00	04:11:28:00	IT TAKES ALL OF US WORKING
04:11:28:00	04:11:31:00	TOGETHER TO REALLY HELP SUPPORT
04:11:31:00	04:11:32:00	OUR FAMILIES AND OUR STUDENTS
04:11:32:00	04:11:35:00	MEET THE MOMENT.
04:11:35:00	04:11:36:00	AND SO I AM GOING TO ASK US TO
04:11:36:00	04:11:39:00	DO MORE OF THAT AND CREATE MORE
04:11:39:00	04:11:43:00	OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO ALSO

04:11:47:00	04:11:51:00	SURE THAT EVERYONE HAS ACCESS
04:11:51:00	04:11:54:00	TO EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
04:11:54:00	04:11:55:00	AND I ALSO KNOW THAT SOME YOUNG
04:11:55:00	04:11:58:00	PEOPLE DON'T FEEL SAFE GOING
04:11:58:00	04:12:01:00	INTO CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS SO I
04:12:01:00	04:12:01:00	THINK THAT HAVING MORE REGIONAL
04:12:01:00	04:12:02:00	EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES MAYBE IN
04:12:02:00	04:12:06:00	HIGH PARK AND MATTAPAN AND
04:12:06:00	04:12:09:00	JAMAICA PLAIN AND MAYBE WE
04:12:09:00	04:12:10:00	COULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE
04:12:10:00	04:12:11:00	TARGETED IN OUR OUTREACH SO
04:12:11:00	04:12:14:00	THOSE ARE THE SORT
04:12:14:00	04:12:14:00	OF CONVERSATIONS THAT I REALLY
04:12:14:00	04:12:17:00	WANT US TO START THINKING ABOUT
04:12:17:00	04:12:18:00	AND HAVING AS WE CONTINUE TO
04:12:18:00	04:12:21:00	GRAPPLE WITH ALL OF THESE

04:12:29:00	04:12:33:00	WAYS THAT HELP SUPPORT AND GET
04:12:33:00	04:12:33:00	US TO WHERE WE NEED TO BE.
04:12:33:00	04:12:36:00	SO I'M HOPING THAT AS PART
04:12:36:00	04:12:37:00	OF THE HEALING ORDER WE'LL HAVE
04:12:37:00	04:12:39:00	SOME OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS AND

04:12:52:00	04:12:55:00	I REMEMBER ATTENDING FAIRS LIKE

04:12:55:00	04:12:58:00	FIRST JOB AND THOSE TARGETED

04:13:07:00	04:13:07:00	DIFFERENT SCHOOLS MINGLING AND
04:13:07:00	04:13:11:00	MAYBE NOT MINGLING IN THE BEST
04:13:11:00	04:13:11:00	WAY.

04:14:11:00	04:14:11:00	GOING TO BE NEGLIGENT.
04:14:11:00	04:14:14:00	THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT
04:14:14:00	04:14:15:00	THERE IS SOME LEVEL
04:14:15:00	04:14:17:00	OF NEGLIGENCE THAT TOOK PLACE

04:14:40:00	04:14:41:00	NOT JUST THAT OUR YOUTH ARE OLD
04:14:41:00	04:14:44:00	ENOUGH THAT WE CAN SPEAK TO
