01:02:45:00	01:02:46:00	PATRICIA LAMB PERON'S STORY IS
01:02:46:00	01:02:48:00	ONE OF EXTRAORDINARY DEDICATION
01:02:48:00	01:02:49:00	AND PERSONAL SACRIFICE AFTER
01:02:49:00	01:02:53:00	BEING VIOLENTLY ATTACKED WHILE

01:02:54:00	01:02:57:00	SHE HAS FACED SIGNIFICANT
01:02:57:00	01:02:57:00	MEDICAL AND FINANCIAL
01:02:57:00	01:02:57:00	CHALLENGES.
01:02:57:00	01:03:01:00	THE COUNCIL ACTED SWIFTLY AND
01:03:01:00	01:03:01:00	UNANIMOUSLY TO STAND WITH HER
01:03:01:00	01:03:02:00	AND IT IS NOW TIME TO TAKE THE
01:03:02:00	01:03:05:00	NEXT STEP TO ENSURE THAT SHE
01:03:05:00	01:03:05:00	RECEIVES THE RETIREMENT
01:03:05:00	01:03:08:00	BENEFITS THAT SHE HAS EARNED.
01:03:08:00	01:03:09:00	AND I KNOW EARLIER TODAY WE
01:03:09:00	01:03:12:00	WERE UPLIFTING MANY OF OUR
01:03:12:00	01:03:13:00	DEDICATED TEACHERS AMONG THEM
01:03:13:00	01:03:17:00	WHO WERE NOW ABLE TO RECEIVE
01:03:17:00	01:03:17:00	THEIR RIGHTFUL BENEFITS IN
01:03:17:00	01:03:20:00	THEIR RETIREMENT.
01:03:20:00	01:03:21:00	SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
01:03:21:00	01:03:23:00	WE MAKE SURE THAT THIS DOES NOT
01:03:23:00	01:03:24:00	LINGER HERE AT THIS COUNCIL.
01:03:24:00	01:03:27:00	OFTENTIMES WE TALK ABOUT THE
01:03:27:00	01:03:28:00	FRUSTRATION THAT WE PASS THINGS
01:03:28:00	01:03:31:00	HERE ON THE COUNCIL AND THEN
01:03:31:00	01:03:32:00	THEY DIE AT THE STATE HOUSE.
01:03:32:00	01:03:33:00	AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
01:03:33:00	01:03:33:00	THEY'RE NOT DYING HERE, THAT
01:03:33:00	01:03:36:00	THEY'RE MAKING THEIR WAY UP TO

01:24:10:00	01:24:11:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY AS AN ORIGINAL
01:24:11:00	01:24:14:00	CO-SPONSOR?
01:24:14:00	01:24:15:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY SO ADDED
01:24:15:00	01:24:15:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN, YOU HAVE THE
01:24:15:00	01:24:15:00	FLOOR.
01:24:15:00	01:24:18:00	I HAVE REFILED THIS ORDINANCE
01:24:18:00	01:24:18:00	FROM A PREVIOUS TERM WHEN WE
01:24:18:00	01:24:21:00	HAD A PRODUCTIVE HEARING WHERE
01:24:21:00	01:24:22:00	WE HEARD FROM A NUMBER
01:24:22:00	01:24:26:00	OF EXPERTS INCLUDING RENOWNED
01:24:26:00	01:24:27:00	RODENT URBAN ALLERGIST DR.
01:24:27:00	01:24:27:00	BOBBY CORRIGAN.
01:24:27:00	01:24:29:00	SHORTLY AFTER THE CITY
01:24:29:00	01:24:30:00	PUBLISHED THE BOSTON RODENT
01:24:30:00	01:24:33:00	ACTION PLAN IMPLEMENTING MANY
01:24:33:00	01:24:34:00	OF MY RECOMMENDATIONS WHILE THE
01:24:34:00	01:24:37:00	BOSTON WROTE AN ACTION PLAN, I
01:24:37:00	01:24:38:00	OUTLINED POSITIVE STEPS TO
01:24:38:00	01:24:41:00	ADDRESS OUR PEST CONTROL CRISIS
01:24:41:00	01:24:41:00	.
01:24:41:00	01:24:42:00	THE PLAN FALLS SHORT OF THE
01:24:42:00	01:24:43:00	RECOMMENDATIONS OF BOTH DR.
01:24:43:00	01:24:46:00	CORRIGAN AND CORRIGAN AND I
01:24:46:00	01:24:50:00	THAT THE CITY VISITED THE IDEA
01:24:50:00	01:24:50:00	OF FORMALLY CREATING A RATS.
01:24:50:00	01:24:53:00	SINCE APPOINTING EVERY
01:24:53:00	01:24:54:00	OUTSIDER, NEW YORK CITY HAS
01:24:54:00	01:24:56:00	MADE SOME PROGRESS WITH
01:24:56:00	01:24:59:00	IMPROVED INSPECTION RESPONSE
01:24:59:00	01:24:59:00	TIMES AND DECREASED 311
01:24:59:00	01:25:00:00	COMPLAINTS FOR A NUMBER
01:25:00:00	01:25:03:00	OF INITIATIVES INCLUDING TRASH
01:25:03:00	01:25:04:00	CONTAINERIZATION SOMETHING I
01:25:04:00	01:25:07:00	ALSO CO-SPONSORED ON A LATER
01:25:07:00	01:25:10:00	DOCKET IN BOSTON PEST CONTROL
01:25:10:00	01:25:11:00	CONTINUES TO BE A
01:25:11:00	01:25:11:00	CROSS-DEPARTMENTAL EFFORT IN
01:25:11:00	01:25:14:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON WITH
01:25:14:00	01:25:15:00	ESTEEMED PUBLIC WORKS WATER AND
01:25:15:00	01:25:16:00	SEWER IN THE MAIN POINTS
01:25:16:00	01:25:19:00	OF CONTACT.
01:25:19:00	01:25:20:00	BOSTON IS RANKED 12TH IN THE
01:25:20:00	01:25:20:00	COUNTRY FOR THIS PROBLEM.
01:25:20:00	01:25:23:00	WE ALSO HAVE NEARBY TOWNS AND
01:25:23:00	01:25:26:00	CITIES WHO HAVE A RATS OUT.
01:25:26:00	01:25:27:00	I CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE THAT WE
01:25:27:00	01:25:30:00	SHOULD STREAMLINE THE PROCESS
01:25:30:00	01:25:30:00	WITH ITS OWN STANDALONE CITY
01:25:30:00	01:25:34:00	DEPARTMENT AND POINT PERSON
01:25:34:00	01:25:34:00	FOCUSED ON THIS ISSUE.
01:25:34:00	01:25:35:00	I THINK IT'S THAT SERIOUS
01:25:35:00	01:25:38:00	DISTRICT COUNCIL IS NO IT'S
01:25:38:00	01:25:39:00	GETTING WORSE AND THE CALLS WE
01:25:39:00	01:25:42:00	RECEIVE EVERY DAY.
01:25:42:00	01:25:42:00	THE WALKTHROUGHS I DO IN THE
01:25:42:00	01:25:43:00	NEIGHBORHOODS IN MY
01:25:43:00	01:25:45:00	NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE INCREASED
01:25:45:00	01:25:45:00	SIGNIFICANTLY.
01:25:45:00	01:25:46:00	I KNOW THE DISTRICT COUNCIL IS
01:25:46:00	01:25:49:00	AS WELL.
01:25:49:00	01:25:50:00	WE SEE RESIDENTS NOT DISPOSING
01:25:50:00	01:25:53:00	OF TRASH PROPERLY.
01:25:53:00	01:25:53:00	NEIGHBORS ARE PLEADING FOR BAIT
01:25:53:00	01:25:56:00	BOXES, PROPER CONTAINERS, ASIAN
01:25:56:00	01:25:57:00	COMPOSTING TO SEPARATE FOOD AND
01:25:57:00	01:26:00:00	NOT ALLOW RATS TO HAVE A FOOD
01:26:00:00	01:26:00:00	SOURCE.
01:26:00:00	01:26:03:00	OUR PEST OUR PEST CONTROL
01:26:03:00	01:26:04:00	CRISIS POSES PUBLIC HEALTH
01:26:04:00	01:26:05:00	CONCERNS TO THE RESIDENTS
01:26:05:00	01:26:08:00	OF BOSTON.
01:26:08:00	01:26:09:00	AS I MENTIONED TWO WEEKS AGO A
01:26:09:00	01:26:11:00	TUFTS UNIVERSITY RELEASED IN
01:26:11:00	01:26:12:00	APRIL FOUND THAT RATS IN BOSTON
01:26:12:00	01:26:15:00	ARE SPREADING A VERY SERIOUS
01:26:15:00	01:26:16:00	DISEASE A POTENTIALLY DEADLY
01:26:16:00	01:26:19:00	DISEASE THAT CAN IN RARE CAUSES
01:26:19:00	01:26:20:00	CASES CAUSE SERIOUS
01:26:20:00	01:26:23:00	COMPLICATIONS SUCH AS MULTIPLE
01:26:23:00	01:26:24:00	ORGAN FAILURE AND DEATH.
01:26:24:00	01:26:27:00	TODAY WE HAVE THREE DOCKETS
01:26:27:00	01:26:27:00	RELATED TO RATS.
01:26:27:00	01:26:30:00	CLEARLY WE HAVE MORE WORK TO
01:26:30:00	01:26:31:00	DO.
01:26:31:00	01:26:31:00	WHAT BETTER WAY THAN
01:26:31:00	01:26:34:00	STREAMLINING FOR A CENTRALIZED
01:26:34:00	01:26:35:00	OFFICE OF PEST CONTROL TO

01:26:41:00	01:26:42:00	NEIGHBORHOODS?
01:26:42:00	01:26:42:00	THIS OFFICE WOULD TEST

01:26:46:00	01:26:50:00	PROGRESS IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS.
01:26:50:00	01:26:51:00	OUR BUDGET HAS INCREASED
01:26:51:00	01:26:54:00	SIGNIFICANTLY AND WE ARE
01:26:54:00	01:26:55:00	SPENDING A LOT MORE MONEY ON
01:26:55:00	01:26:57:00	ISSUES IMPACTING RESIDENTS.
01:26:57:00	01:27:01:00	BUT HOW ABOUT AN OFFICE

01:27:24:00	01:27:24:00	HEALTH ISSUE.

01:29:53:00	01:29:54:00	THAT EMBRACES INNOVATION BUT WE

01:41:41:00	01:41:41:00	ONLINE.
01:41:41:00	01:41:45:00	THAT'S A HUGE PROBLEM FOR
01:41:45:00	01:41:45:00	RESIDENTS WITHOUT RELIABLE

01:42:57:00	01:42:58:00	WITH ZOOM PEOPLE WORKING FROM
01:42:58:00	01:42:58:00	HOME.
01:42:58:00	01:43:01:00	WHAT WE NOTICED IS THAT THE
01:43:01:00	01:43:04:00	DIGITAL DIVIDE WAS REAL IF YOU
01:43:04:00	01:43:04:00	WILL.
01:43:04:00	01:43:05:00	ACCESS TO THE INTERNET SHOULD
01:43:05:00	01:43:06:00	NOT BE A PRIVILEGE.
01:43:06:00	01:43:09:00	WHEN OUR RESIDENTS DO NOT HAVE
01:43:09:00	01:43:10:00	ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE AND
01:43:10:00	01:43:13:00	RELIABLE DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE
01:43:13:00	01:43:14:00	OR THEY ARE LOCKED OUT NOT JUST
01:43:14:00	01:43:14:00	FROM SERVICES BUT FROM

01:43:17:00	01:43:18:00	MUNICIPAL DIGITAL EQUITY PLAN
01:43:18:00	01:43:21:00	TO GUIDE US FORWARD BUT A GOOD
01:43:21:00	01:43:25:00	PLAN IT IS IT IS ONLY AS GOOD
01:43:25:00	01:43:25:00	AS THE EXECUTION.
01:43:25:00	01:43:28:00	THIS THIS HEARING WOULD ENSURE
01:43:28:00	01:43:29:00	THAT WE ARE TAKING THE RIGHT
01:43:29:00	01:43:32:00	STEPS TOWARDS CLOSING NOT
01:43:32:00	01:43:33:00	WIDENING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE AND
01:43:33:00	01:43:35:00	WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT
01:43:35:00	01:43:36:00	WE'VE COMMITTED TO IS
01:43:36:00	01:43:39:00	INCREASING THE DIGITAL WORLD
01:43:39:00	01:43:39:00	WE'RE DELIVERING.
01:43:39:00	01:43:40:00	AND SO I'M REALLY LOOKING
01:43:40:00	01:43:40:00	FORWARD TO HAVING THIS
01:43:40:00	01:43:43:00	CONVERSATION LOOKING AT OUR
01:43:43:00	01:43:44:00	FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS AS IT
01:43:44:00	01:43:47:00	RELATES TO THE INVESTMENTS THAT
01:43:47:00	01:43:48:00	WE'VE MADE AND THAT WE WILL
01:43:48:00	01:43:51:00	HOPEFULLY CONTINUE TO MAKE.
01:43:51:00	01:43:52:00	AND I ALSO JUST WANT TO NOTE
01:43:52:00	01:43:53:00	FOR THE RECORD THAT THERE ARE
01:43:53:00	01:43:55:00	CERTAIN COMPANIES THAT YOU NEED
01:43:55:00	01:43:59:00	TO BE A LEGAL RESIDENT OR A
01:43:59:00	01:44:00:00	U.S. CITIZEN TO EVEN APPLY TO
01:44:00:00	01:44:03:00	HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET.
01:44:03:00	01:44:04:00	AND WE NOTICE THAT WHEN WE'RE
01:44:04:00	01:44:07:00	TALKING ABOUT EQUITY THERE'S SO
01:44:07:00	01:44:08:00	MUCH WORK THAT WE NEED TO DO
01:44:08:00	01:44:11:00	AND WHILE THE CITY OF BOSTON
01:44:11:00	01:44:12:00	ONLY HAS A SMALL SLICE IN THAT
01:44:12:00	01:44:14:00	WE HAVE SEEN OURSELVES HEAR
01:44:14:00	01:44:15:00	FROM CONSTITUENTS WHO WERE
01:44:15:00	01:44:19:00	UNABLE TO HAVE ACCESS BECAUSE
01:44:19:00	01:44:22:00	OF THEIR STATUS AND I THINK
01:44:22:00	01:44:23:00	THAT EVEN THOUGH THAT'S NOT AN
01:44:23:00	01:44:23:00	ISSUE THAT WE CAN REALLY YOU
01:44:23:00	01:44:26:00	KNOW, RELEGATE I THINK I WANT

01:44:26:00	01:44:27:00	FOR US TO CONSIDER AS WE

01:58:22:00	01:58:22:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY MENTIONED
01:58:22:00	01:58:25:00	THERE WERE TWO INCIDENTS IN
01:58:25:00	01:58:25:00	CHINATOWN THIS YEAR IN WHICH
01:58:25:00	01:58:28:00	THE STONE MATERIALS OF A
01:58:28:00	01:58:32:00	BUILDING AND A WINDOWSILL FROM
01:58:32:00	01:58:32:00	ANOTHER BUILDING FELL ONTO THE
01:58:32:00	01:58:35:00	SIDEWALK.
01:58:35:00	01:58:36:00	BOTH THESE BOTH THESE INCIDENTS
01:58:36:00	01:58:36:00	TOOK PLACE BY BUSY
01:58:36:00	01:58:39:00	INTERSECTIONS OF CHINATOWN.
01:58:39:00	01:58:42:00	WE'RE VERY LUCKY THAT NO ONE
01:58:42:00	01:58:42:00	WAS INJURED OR INJURED.
01:58:42:00	01:58:46:00	THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE.
01:58:46:00	01:58:47:00	CHINATOWN HAS A LOT OF AGING
01:58:47:00	01:58:49:00	INFRASTRUCTURE IN ACROSS
01:58:49:00	01:58:49:00	BOSTON.
01:58:49:00	01:58:50:00	WE ALSO HAVE MANY OLD BUILDINGS
01:58:50:00	01:58:53:00	THAT REQUIRE REGULAR INSPECTION
01:58:53:00	01:58:53:00	.
01:58:53:00	01:58:54:00	WE NEED TO ENSURE OUR BUILDING
01:58:54:00	01:58:57:00	SAFETY PROTOCOLS ARE ADHERED TO
01:58:57:00	01:58:57:00	AND THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT
01:58:57:00	01:59:00:00	OVERSIGHT THAT OUR BUILDINGS
01:59:00:00	01:59:00:00	ARE MEETING SAFETY STANDARDS.
01:59:00:00	01:59:04:00	RECENTLY I ALSO HEARD FROM A
01:59:04:00	01:59:05:00	CELL PHONE CONSTITUENT
01:59:05:00	01:59:05:00	REGARDING SCAFFOLDING THAT HAD
01:59:05:00	01:59:08:00	BEEN OBSTRUCTING OR OBSCURING
01:59:08:00	01:59:12:00	DRUG ACTIVITY AND BECOMING A
01:59:12:00	01:59:13:00	MAGNET FOR ILLEGAL ACTIVITY.
01:59:13:00	01:59:13:00	I HAVE RECEIVED SIMILAR
01:59:13:00	01:59:16:00	COMPLAINTS OF DOWNTOWN BOSTON
01:59:16:00	01:59:17:00	RESIDENTS AS WELL.
01:59:17:00	01:59:21:00	LAST SUMMER BANNED TREMONT
01:59:21:00	01:59:22:00	STREET WHILE PROTECTION
01:59:22:00	01:59:24:00	OF PUBLIC MEMBERS AROUND
01:59:24:00	01:59:24:00	CONSTRUCTION SITES ARE
01:59:24:00	01:59:28:00	OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE.
01:59:28:00	01:59:28:00	I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO HAVE A
01:59:28:00	01:59:29:00	DISCUSSION ABOUT POSSIBLE WAYS
01:59:29:00	01:59:32:00	TO DEGRADE CERTAIN SCAFFOLDING
01:59:32:00	01:59:35:00	HERE IS TO ENSURE THAT ILLEGAL
01:59:35:00	01:59:36:00	DOES NOT TAKE PLACE.
01:59:36:00	01:59:40:00	THIS IS A CONSTRUCTION SAFETY
01:59:40:00	01:59:40:00	IS A CONSTRUCTION SAFETY,
01:59:40:00	01:59:43:00	PUBLIC SAFETY, QUALITY OF LIFE
01:59:43:00	01:59:44:00	ISSUE.

01:59:45:00	01:59:48:00	ASSISTANT MELISSA WHEN THERE

01:59:55:00	01:59:55:00	MELISSA IMMEDIATELY CALLED
01:59:55:00	02:00:02:00	ME UP AND WENT WENT TO THE SITE
02:00:02:00	02:00:03:00	AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS
02:00:03:00	02:00:03:00	THERE.
02:00:03:00	02:00:06:00	THE INSPECTIONAL SERVICES WERE
02:00:06:00	02:00:07:00	THERE BUT MELISSA SPEAKS
02:00:07:00	02:00:10:00	CANTONESE.
02:00:10:00	02:00:10:00	THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING
02:00:10:00	02:00:11:00	ALWAYS SPOKE CANTONESE.
02:00:11:00	02:00:13:00	MY ASSISTANT MELISSA PROVIDED
02:00:13:00	02:00:17:00	TRANSLATION AND COMMUNICATION
02:00:17:00	02:00:18:00	FOR FOR A PERIOD OF TIME TO

02:00:28:00	02:00:29:00	AND IN THE OWNER I SHOT I
02:00:29:00	02:00:32:00	ARRIVED SHORTLY THEREAFTER AND
02:00:32:00	02:00:35:00	AND SAW HOW CITY OFFICIALS WERE
02:00:35:00	02:00:39:00	WORKING CLOSELY WITH WITH
02:00:39:00	02:00:40:00	MELISSA BUT ALSO WITH WHAT THE

02:00:42:00	02:00:43:00	WHAT IT TAKES TAKES TO BE
02:00:43:00	02:00:46:00	SUCCESSFUL REALLY HERE IN
02:00:46:00	02:00:47:00	BOSTON IT'S ABOUT LISTENING.
02:00:47:00	02:00:48:00	IT'S ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER,
02:00:48:00	02:00:51:00	RESPECTING EACH OTHER,
02:00:51:00	02:00:51:00	UNDERSTANDING OUR DIFFERENCES

02:00:55:00	02:00:58:00	DIFFICULT TIMES SUCH AS THAT.
02:00:58:00	02:00:59:00	AND IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US
02:00:59:00	02:01:02:00	TO ALSO CALL FOR MORE PEOPLE
02:01:02:00	02:01:03:00	THAT SPEAK VARIOUS LANGUAGES IN

02:02:26:00	02:02:28:00	COMMUNITY CENTER POOL IN THE
02:02:28:00	02:02:29:00	SOUTH END WHICH HAS BEEN CLOSED
02:02:29:00	02:02:32:00	INDEFINITELY DUE TO SERIOUS
02:02:32:00	02:02:33:00	STRUCTURAL ISSUES INCLUDING A
02:02:33:00	02:02:36:00	DETERIORATED POOL SHELL DRAIN
02:02:36:00	02:02:36:00	LINE FAILURE AND GROUNDWATER
02:02:36:00	02:02:40:00	INTRUSION.
02:02:40:00	02:02:41:00	THIS FACILITY HAS LONG SERVED
02:02:41:00	02:02:44:00	THE RESIDENTS OF VILLA VICTORIA
02:02:44:00	02:02:44:00	CATHEDRAL PUBLIC HOUSING AND
02:02:44:00	02:02:45:00	SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE
02:02:45:00	02:02:48:00	ROXBURY.
02:02:48:00	02:02:49:00	IT HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY VITAL
02:02:49:00	02:02:51:00	FOR BLACK, LATINO AND IMMIGRANT
02:02:51:00	02:02:52:00	WHO DESERVE EQUAL ACCESS TO

02:02:56:00	02:02:59:00	AND I ALSO WANT TO SAY
02:02:59:00	02:03:00:00	ESPECIALLY IN THEIR OWN
02:03:00:00	02:03:00:00	NEIGHBORHOODS THEY SHOULDN'T
02:03:00:00	02:03:03:00	HAVE TO TRAVEL FAR TAKE PART IN
02:03:03:00	02:03:07:00	THESE OPPORTUNITIES.
02:03:07:00	02:03:08:00	OF THE 18 POOLS OPERATED BY DC
02:03:08:00	02:03:11:00	WHY F HALF WERE CLOSED THIS
02:03:11:00	02:03:12:00	SUMMER.
02:03:12:00	02:03:12:00	THAT'S NOT JUST AN
02:03:12:00	02:03:15:00	INCONVENIENCE IT'S A PUBLIC
02:03:15:00	02:03:15:00	SAFETY RISK.
02:03:15:00	02:03:16:00	LEARNING TO SWIM IS NOT
02:03:16:00	02:03:19:00	OPTIONAL FOR OUR KIDS.
02:03:19:00	02:03:19:00	IT SAVES LIVES, BUILDS
02:03:19:00	02:03:22:00	CONFIDENCE AND OPEN DOORS TO
02:03:22:00	02:03:23:00	RECREATION AND HEALTH.
02:03:23:00	02:03:23:00	AND WE ARE A COASTAL CITY.
02:03:23:00	02:03:27:00	THE OCEAN IS ALL AROUND US.
02:03:27:00	02:03:30:00	THE CITY'S CAPITAL PLAN
02:03:30:00	02:03:31:00	CURRENTLY INCLUDES ONLY 2
02:03:31:00	02:03:31:00	MILLION FOR THE BLACKSTONE POOL
02:03:31:00	02:03:34:00	NOT NEARLY ENOUGH TO FUND THE
02:03:34:00	02:03:35:00	EXCAVATION AND REPAIR WORK.
02:03:35:00	02:03:38:00	WE ALREADY KNOW IS NEEDED WHILE
02:03:38:00	02:03:41:00	THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL 20
02:03:41:00	02:03:41:00	MILLION IN THE CAPITAL PLAN FOR
02:03:41:00	02:03:42:00	FUTURE RENOVATIONS OF THE
02:03:42:00	02:03:44:00	SCHOOL NOT THE COMMUNITY
02:03:44:00	02:03:44:00	CENTER.
02:03:44:00	02:03:45:00	IT'S UNCLEAR IF THAT FUNDING
02:03:45:00	02:03:49:00	INCLUDES THE POOL OR IF IT WILL
02:03:49:00	02:03:49:00	BE PRIORITIZED AT ALL.
02:03:49:00	02:03:53:00	WE DO KNOW FROM MANY OF THE
02:03:53:00	02:03:56:00	HEARINGS I HAVE HELD THAT
02:03:56:00	02:03:56:00	RECENTLY LAST YEAR PROPERTY
02:03:56:00	02:04:00:00	MANAGEMENT HAS TAKEN OVER THE
02:04:00:00	02:04:01:00	OVERSIGHT OF B, C, Y F WHICH I
02:04:01:00	02:04:04:00	THINK HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL
02:04:04:00	02:04:04:00	DECISION MOVING FORWARD BUT I
02:04:04:00	02:04:08:00	THINK THAT ALSO ADDS QUESTIONS
02:04:08:00	02:04:09:00	TO WHO NOW IS LOOKING OVER THIS
02:04:09:00	02:04:09:00	POOL.
02:04:09:00	02:04:12:00	SO IF MONEY IS THE BUDGET FOR
02:04:12:00	02:04:13:00	THE SCHOOL SIDE, DOES THAT MEAN
02:04:13:00	02:04:16:00	THEY WILL PRIORITIZE INCLUDING
02:04:16:00	02:04:17:00	THE POOL ALSO?
02:04:17:00	02:04:17:00	FAMILIES DESERVE ANSWERS.
02:04:17:00	02:04:21:00	THEY DESERVE A CLEAR TIMELINE,
02:04:21:00	02:04:21:00	A TRANSPARENT PROCESS IN
02:04:21:00	02:04:24:00	INTERIM SOLUTIONS NOT YEARS
02:04:24:00	02:04:25:00	FROM NOW.
02:04:25:00	02:04:26:00	SO THROUGH THIS HEARING WE WILL
02:04:26:00	02:04:28:00	BRING TOGETHER B CYF THE
02:04:28:00	02:04:29:00	MAYOR'S OFFICE OF CAPITAL PLAN
02:04:29:00	02:04:32:00	OF PLANNING, BP'S PROPERTY
02:04:32:00	02:04:32:00	MANAGEMENT AND OTHER
02:04:32:00	02:04:36:00	DEPARTMENTS TO UNDERSTAND
02:04:36:00	02:04:36:00	EXACTLY WHAT IT WILL TAKE TO
02:04:36:00	02:04:37:00	REOPEN THIS POOL, EXAMINE HOW
02:04:37:00	02:04:40:00	IT FITS INTO THE LARGER CAPITAL
02:04:40:00	02:04:41:00	PLANS AND EXPLORE HOW WE CAN
02:04:41:00	02:04:44:00	RESTORE AQUATIC PROGRAMING FOR
02:04:44:00	02:04:45:00	THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE SHORT
02:04:45:00	02:04:45:00	TERM.
02:04:45:00	02:04:48:00	AND I ALSO JUST WANT TO UPLIFT
02:04:48:00	02:04:48:00	THAT.
02:04:48:00	02:04:49:00	I BELIEVE EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD
02:04:49:00	02:04:52:00	DESERVES OUR ADVOCACY AND SO TO
02:04:52:00	02:04:55:00	JUST BE TOLD THE FEW TIMES I
02:04:55:00	02:04:56:00	HAVE HEARD THAT WE'RE JUST NOT
02:04:56:00	02:04:59:00	GOING TO DO THIS AND NO TO
02:04:59:00	02:04:59:00	ME IS NOT THE ANSWER.
02:04:59:00	02:05:00:00	SO I DO HOPE THAT OUR
02:05:00:00	02:05:03:00	COLLEAGUES WILL JOIN US AND
02:05:03:00	02:05:03:00	ADVOCATING TO GET SOME REAL
02:05:03:00	02:05:04:00	ANSWERS AND PUSH FOR WHAT THIS

02:05:52:00	02:05:53:00	UNCERTAINTY OF HOW MANY MORE
02:05:53:00	02:05:56:00	YEARS THIS WILL TAKE.
02:05:56:00	02:05:56:00	LAST NOVEMBER I HAD HELD A
02:05:56:00	02:06:00:00	HEARING WITH COUNCILOR MURPHY
02:06:00:00	02:06:01:00	ON THE STATUS OF POOLS IN THE
02:06:01:00	02:06:01:00	CITY.
02:06:01:00	02:06:04:00	BP HAS INFORMED US THEY ARE TO
02:06:04:00	02:06:05:00	REOPEN THE BLACKSTONE POOL A
02:06:05:00	02:06:08:00	FULL REDEVELOPMENT EXCAVATION
02:06:08:00	02:06:12:00	WOULD NEED TO HAPPEN TO LOOK
02:06:12:00	02:06:12:00	UNDERNEATH THE POOL DUE TO THE
02:06:12:00	02:06:15:00	AGING SHELL TRAIN LINES
02:06:15:00	02:06:16:00	GROUNDWATER COMING BACK INTO
02:06:16:00	02:06:18:00	THE POOL.
02:06:18:00	02:06:19:00	THE BLACKSTONE POOL IS IN

02:06:27:00	02:06:30:00	TRADITIONALLY USED THIS POOL.
02:06:30:00	02:06:31:00	IT'S A CRITICAL ASSET IN THE
02:06:31:00	02:06:34:00	NEIGHBORHOOD NOT HAVING ACCESS
02:06:34:00	02:06:35:00	TO A POOL IS NOT ONLY A QUALITY
02:06:35:00	02:06:38:00	OF LIFE ISSUE IT'S ALSO A
02:06:38:00	02:06:39:00	SAFETY ISSUE FOR OUR KIDS WHO
02:06:39:00	02:06:40:00	ARE BEING LEFT WITHOUT CRITICAL
02:06:40:00	02:06:42:00	SWIMMING LESSONS THROUGHOUT THE

02:06:42:00	02:06:45:00	WE ARE DOING THE FAMILIES
02:06:45:00	02:06:46:00	OF THE SALTON AND ROXBURY A
02:06:46:00	02:06:46:00	DISSERVICE.
02:06:46:00	02:06:49:00	WE NEED TO FIND THE FUNDING TO
02:06:49:00	02:06:50:00	COMPLETE POOL REPAIRS SO THAT
02:06:50:00	02:06:53:00	WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE LESSONS
02:06:53:00	02:06:54:00	FOR OUR CHILDREN AND NEIGHBORS
02:06:54:00	02:06:57:00	IN PUBLIC HOUSING IN OTHER
02:06:57:00	02:06:57:00	AREAS AS WELL.
02:06:57:00	02:06:58:00	AS OF NOW THE SWIMMING POOL AT
02:06:58:00	02:07:01:00	THE BLACKSTONE COMMUNITY CENTER
02:07:01:00	02:07:01:00	IS CLOSED INDEFINITELY AND WILL
02:07:01:00	02:07:05:00	NOT REOPEN WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT
02:07:05:00	02:07:05:00	FUNDING IN THE CAPITAL BUDGET.
02:07:05:00	02:07:08:00	CURRENTLY 2 MILLION IS
02:07:08:00	02:07:09:00	SCHEDULED TO BE ALLOCATED TO

02:07:12:00	02:07:13:00	AND F Y 26 TO 30.
02:07:13:00	02:07:16:00	WHILE THIS MAY GIVE THE CITY A
02:07:16:00	02:07:17:00	BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE
02:07:17:00	02:07:20:00	SCOPE TO ADDRESS THE ONGOING
02:07:20:00	02:07:21:00	AND LONGSTANDING LONG STANDING
02:07:21:00	02:07:24:00	ISSUES OF THIS POOL IN THE
02:07:24:00	02:07:27:00	SCHOOL WE NEED TO ACCELERATE
02:07:27:00	02:07:28:00	THE PROJECT.
02:07:28:00	02:07:28:00	RESIDENTS ARE TIRED OF WAITING.
02:07:28:00	02:07:32:00	I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS HEARING.
02:07:32:00	02:07:35:00	TO ME THIS IS REALLY A LIFE AND
02:07:35:00	02:07:35:00	DEATH ISSUE.

02:07:46:00	02:07:50:00	TO SWIMMING LESSONS AS OTHER
02:07:50:00	02:07:50:00	NEIGHBORHOODS?
02:07:50:00	02:07:51:00	WE HAVE TO ASK THAT QUESTION
02:07:51:00	02:07:51:00	AND I THINK THE ANSWER IS

02:12:57:00	02:13:01:00	POLICY COUNCIL RURAL AID AND TO
02:13:01:00	02:13:02:00	CALL FOR A HEARING ON HOW
02:13:02:00	02:13:06:00	BOSTON IS INVESTING IN CHILD
02:13:06:00	02:13:06:00	CARE ESPECIALLY FOR FAMILY
02:13:06:00	02:13:09:00	CHILD CARE PROVIDERS MANY
02:13:09:00	02:13:10:00	OF WHOM ARE WOMEN, IMMIGRANTS
02:13:10:00	02:13:10:00	AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
02:13:10:00	02:13:13:00	RUNNING PROGRAMS OUT OF THEIR
02:13:13:00	02:13:13:00	HOMES.
02:13:13:00	02:13:14:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON HAS ALREADY
02:13:14:00	02:13:17:00	COMMITTED TENS OF MILLIONS
02:13:17:00	02:13:17:00	OF DOLLARS TO THIS WORK.
02:13:17:00	02:13:19:00	7 MILLION THROUGH THE GROWING

02:13:37:00	02:13:38:00	MILLION ANNUALLY.
02:13:38:00	02:13:41:00	DESPITE THESE INVESTMENTS, MANY
02:13:41:00	02:13:44:00	PROVIDERS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE
02:13:44:00	02:13:44:00	TO STAY AFLOAT.
02:13:44:00	02:13:45:00	FAMILY FAMILIES DEPEND ON THEIR
02:13:45:00	02:13:48:00	SERVICES WHEN PROVIDERS CLOSE
02:13:48:00	02:13:53:00	CHILDREN AND WORKING PARENTS
02:13:53:00	02:13:53:00	PAY THE PRICE.
02:13:53:00	02:13:54:00	THIS HEARING IS ABOUT REVIEWING
02:13:54:00	02:13:56:00	HOW FUNDS HAVE BEEN SPENT
02:13:56:00	02:13:57:00	WHETHER THEY HAVE REACHED THE
02:13:57:00	02:14:00:00	PROVIDERS EQUITABLY AND WHETHER
02:14:00:00	02:14:01:00	THEY HAVE DELIVERED THE LONG
02:14:01:00	02:14:04:00	TERM STABILITY OUR COMMUNITY
02:14:04:00	02:14:05:00	NEEDS TO ENSURE ACCOUNTABILITY.
02:14:05:00	02:14:08:00	I REQUEST THAT THIS HEARING BE
02:14:08:00	02:14:08:00	PLACED IN THE POST AUDIT
02:14:08:00	02:14:09:00	COMMITTEE WHICH IS TASKED WITH
02:14:09:00	02:14:11:00	CONDUCTING THIS TYPE
02:14:11:00	02:14:12:00	OF RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW.
02:14:12:00	02:14:16:00	AND I ALSO JUST WANT TO UPLIFT
02:14:16:00	02:14:19:00	THAT DURING OPERA WE WORKED
02:14:19:00	02:14:20:00	ALONGSIDE THE CARE THAT WORKS
02:14:20:00	02:14:23:00	COALITION LOCAL ONE ON THREE
02:14:23:00	02:14:24:00	AND A HOST OF OTHER UNIONS TO
02:14:24:00	02:14:27:00	ENSURE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO
02:14:27:00	02:14:28:00	HELP SUPPORT OUR EARLY
02:14:28:00	02:14:31:00	CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS.
02:14:31:00	02:14:32:00	SO I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE
02:14:32:00	02:14:34:00	THIS WORK CONTINUE.
02:14:34:00	02:14:35:00	AND I JUST WANT TO JUST UPLIFT
02:14:35:00	02:14:38:00	THE IMPORTANCE OF MAKING SURE
02:14:38:00	02:14:41:00	THAT WE ARE DIVING DEEPER IN
02:14:41:00	02:14:42:00	THE FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS THAT
02:14:42:00	02:14:42:00	WE'RE MAKING.
02:14:42:00	02:14:45:00	AND I ALSO WANT TO NOTE THAT WE
02:14:45:00	02:14:49:00	ARE WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
02:14:49:00	02:14:53:00	LOCAL 509 AND WE ARE HOPING TO
02:14:53:00	02:14:56:00	GET A BETTER HANDLE ON THIS
02:14:56:00	02:14:57:00	PARTICULAR ISSUE BECAUSE WE'VE
02:14:57:00	02:15:00:00	ALSO HEARD FROM OUR CHILDCARE
02:15:00:00	02:15:01:00	PROVIDERS THAT THEIR RENTS HAVE
02:15:01:00	02:15:05:00	INCREASED AND THAT A LOT OF THE
02:15:05:00	02:15:08:00	FUNDING THAT LANDLORDS ARE NOW
02:15:08:00	02:15:08:00	PASSING ON TO THE PROVIDERS AND
02:15:08:00	02:15:12:00	THERE IS A OPPORTUNITY FOR US
02:15:12:00	02:15:13:00	TO CLOSE THAT GAP AND WE LOOK
02:15:13:00	02:15:16:00	FORWARD TO WORKING ALONGSIDE MY
02:15:16:00	02:15:19:00	COLLEAGUES TO IDENTIFY WHAT
02:15:19:00	02:15:19:00	THAT LOOKS LIKE.
02:15:19:00	02:15:22:00	AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT BOSTON IS
02:15:22:00	02:15:23:00	HOME TO APPROXIMATELY 700
02:15:23:00	02:15:26:00	LICENSED FAMILY CHILDCARE
02:15:26:00	02:15:27:00	PROVIDERS, MANY OF WHOM ARE
02:15:27:00	02:15:27:00	WOMEN.
02:15:27:00	02:15:30:00	AS I MENTIONED EARLIER.
02:15:30:00	02:15:31:00	WE ARE PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES
02:15:31:00	02:15:31:00	FOR THE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
02:15:31:00	02:15:34:00	BUT WE CAN'T DO THIS UNLESS WE
02:15:34:00	02:15:34:00	UNDERSTAND FULLY THE FINANCIAL
02:15:34:00	02:15:37:00	INVESTMENTS THAT WE HAVE MADE
02:15:37:00	02:15:38:00	AND WHERE THE GAPS THAT WE NEED
02:15:38:00	02:15:38:00	TO FILL.
02:15:38:00	02:15:41:00	SO I LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING
02:15:41:00	02:15:41:00	THIS CONVERSATION.
02:15:41:00	02:15:44:00	WE KNOW THAT THE FAMILY CARE
02:15:44:00	02:15:44:00	PROVIDERS FACE GROWING
02:15:44:00	02:15:45:00	FINANCIAL PRESSURES INCLUDING
02:15:45:00	02:15:48:00	RENT INCREASES, INSURANCE
02:15:48:00	02:15:48:00	COSTS, RISING UTILITIES THAT
02:15:48:00	02:15:52:00	ARE REQUIRED TO MEET STATE
02:15:52:00	02:15:52:00	STANDARDS AND HIGHER PROPERTY
02:15:52:00	02:15:53:00	TAXES AND SOME OF THESE
02:15:53:00	02:15:56:00	CHALLENGES ARE STEMMING FROM
02:15:56:00	02:15:59:00	MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND REGULATED
02:15:59:00	02:16:00:00	REQUIREMENTS ALL OF WHICH

02:16:00:00	02:16:03:00	SUSTAINABLE SUSTAINABILITY
02:16:03:00	02:16:04:00	OF THESE PROGRAMS.
02:16:04:00	02:16:04:00	SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO
02:16:04:00	02:16:07:00	WORKING ALONGSIDE OUR PARTNERS
02:16:07:00	02:16:08:00	IN AND OUTSIDE OF THE CITY HALL
02:16:08:00	02:16:11:00	TO PROVIDE A BETTER
02:16:11:00	02:16:11:00	UNDERSTANDING OF A FINANCIAL

02:18:20:00	02:18:21:00	THE DOOR TO HOME OWNERSHIP FOR
02:18:21:00	02:18:23:00	WORKING FAMILIES.
02:18:23:00	02:18:24:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON HAS NOT
02:18:24:00	02:18:27:00	ALWAYS BEEN AS THOROUGH IN

02:19:09:00	02:19:09:00	WERE MEANT TO PROVIDE.
02:19:09:00	02:19:12:00	THIS ISN'T ABOUT ASSIGNING
02:19:12:00	02:19:12:00	BLAME.
02:19:12:00	02:19:16:00	IT IS ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT
02:19:16:00	02:19:16:00	PUBLIC DOLLARS ALREADY INVESTED
02:19:16:00	02:19:20:00	ARE BEING TRACKED, AUDITED AND

02:20:13:00	02:20:14:00	AND THANK YOU, COUNCILWOMAN
02:20:14:00	02:20:14:00	HERE.
02:20:14:00	02:20:17:00	I REMEMBER BACK IN 2022
02:20:17:00	02:20:20:00	COUNCILOR ARROYO CHAIRED A
02:20:20:00	02:20:21:00	HEARING AND HAD RESIDENTS THERE
02:20:21:00	02:20:21:00	AND IT WAS A VERY MOVING
02:20:21:00	02:20:24:00	HEARING ABOUT PREDATORY LENDING
02:20:24:00	02:20:25:00	AND ABOUT THE THINGS THAT YOU
02:20:25:00	02:20:28:00	WERE JUST MENTIONING.
02:20:28:00	02:20:28:00	IT WAS OVER THE WEEKEND AT AN
02:20:28:00	02:20:32:00	EVENT IN NUBIAN SQUARE AND MANY
02:20:32:00	02:20:33:00	PEOPLE SPEAKING ABOUT, YOU
02:20:33:00	02:20:36:00	KNOW, INTO GENERATIONAL WEALTH
02:20:36:00	02:20:36:00	AND MAKING SURE THAT ALL OF OUR
02:20:36:00	02:20:39:00	COMMUNITIES ARE BLACK
02:20:39:00	02:20:40:00	COMMUNITIES INCLUDED HAVE A
02:20:40:00	02:20:41:00	CHANCE AT THAT AND HOME
02:20:41:00	02:20:44:00	OWNERSHIP IS ONE OF THOSE WAYS
02:20:44:00	02:20:45:00	AND WE NOW GIVE OUT GRANTS,
02:20:45:00	02:20:45:00	RIGHT?
02:20:45:00	02:20:48:00	WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT HERE AND
02:20:48:00	02:20:48:00	I KNOW I'VE TALKED ABOUT
02:20:48:00	02:20:51:00	LOOKING INTO ALL OF THE
02:20:51:00	02:20:52:00	DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE HAVE
02:20:52:00	02:20:52:00	BEEN PROMOTING HOME OWNERSHIP.
02:20:52:00	02:20:55:00	WE USED TO GIVE LOANS AND YOU
02:20:55:00	02:20:56:00	MENTIONED THEM AND MANY PEOPLE
02:20:56:00	02:20:59:00	WOULD GET A LOAN FROM THE CITY
02:20:59:00	02:21:00:00	AND HAVE TO PAY BACK THE LOAN
02:21:00:00	02:21:00:00	TO HELP WITH THE DOWN PAYMENT
02:21:00:00	02:21:03:00	AND IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS
02:21:03:00	02:21:03:00	BECAUSE WE'VE HAD OPERA FUNDING
02:21:03:00	02:21:06:00	AND THE MAYOR HAS YOU KNOW,
02:21:06:00	02:21:07:00	CHOSEN AND WE'VE APPROVED TO
02:21:07:00	02:21:10:00	SPEND MORE MONEY ON GIVING FREE
02:21:10:00	02:21:11:00	AND CLEAR DOWN PAYMENT
02:21:11:00	02:21:11:00	ASSISTANCE.
02:21:11:00	02:21:14:00	SO IT'S DEFINITELY A DIFFERENCE
02:21:14:00	02:21:15:00	FOR THESE NEWER HOME OWNERSHIP
02:21:15:00	02:21:15:00	OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE IN THE
02:21:15:00	02:21:18:00	PAST.
02:21:18:00	02:21:19:00	SO HOW LET'S LOOK AT WHAT'S
02:21:19:00	02:21:20:00	HAPPENING OUT THERE AND HOW CAN
02:21:20:00	02:21:22:00	WE EVEN THE PLAYING FIELD AND
02:21:22:00	02:21:23:00	MAYBE SUPPORT THOSE WHO FIND
02:21:23:00	02:21:26:00	THEMSELVES IN A POSITION WHERE
02:21:26:00	02:21:26:00	THEY'RE NOT GETTING ANY
02:21:26:00	02:21:29:00	BENEFITS FROM THEIR HOME
02:21:29:00	02:21:29:00	OWNERSHIP AND THAT IS ONE
02:21:29:00	02:21:30:00	OF THE REASONS ONE OF THE
02:21:30:00	02:21:32:00	BIGGEST REASONS WHY PEOPLE OWN
02:21:32:00	02:21:33:00	RIGHT AND IT WAS SAID IN THIS
02:21:33:00	02:21:37:00	CHAMBER BY AN EXPERT AT ONE
02:21:37:00	02:21:37:00	OF OUR HOUSING HEARINGS HOW
02:21:37:00	02:21:41:00	RENT STABILIZED ZATION I MEAN
02:21:41:00	02:21:41:00	THAT IS WHAT HOMEOWNERSHIP IS
02:21:41:00	02:21:42:00	YOU KNOW EVERY MONTH WHAT
02:21:42:00	02:21:44:00	YOU'RE RENT IS IF YOU HAVE A
02:21:44:00	02:21:45:00	MORTGAGE RATE THAT THAT IS
02:21:45:00	02:21:48:00	CONSIDERED THE BEST WAY TO MAKE
02:21:48:00	02:21:49:00	SURE YOU KNOW AND YOU DON'T
02:21:49:00	02:21:51:00	HAVE YOU KNOW THIS FEAR OF YOUR
02:21:51:00	02:21:55:00	RENT RAISING OR RISING IN WAYS
02:21:55:00	02:21:56:00	THAT YOU CAN'T AFFORD IF YOU'RE
02:21:56:00	02:21:56:00	THE ONE IN CONTROL OF YOUR
02:21:56:00	02:21:59:00	MORTGAGE.
02:21:59:00	02:22:00:00	SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS AND
02:22:00:00	02:22:01:00	THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TO
02:22:01:00	02:22:03:00	THE COUNCIL.

02:22:06:00	02:22:06:00	AND THANK YOU TO
02:22:06:00	02:22:07:00	COUNCILOR MEJIA FOR BRINGING
02:22:07:00	02:22:10:00	THIS FORWARD AND EVERYONE KNOWS
02:22:10:00	02:22:11:00	I AM A BIG HOMEOWNERSHIP
02:22:11:00	02:22:14:00	ADVOCATE AND I THINK THIS
02:22:14:00	02:22:14:00	CONVERSATION IS NEEDED.
02:22:14:00	02:22:17:00	THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE
02:22:17:00	02:22:18:00	DO NEED TO FIX HERE IN THIS
02:22:18:00	02:22:22:00	CITY WHETHER IT'S THE H0 FEES,
02:22:22:00	02:22:23:00	HOW TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE
02:22:23:00	02:22:26:00	ARE PUTTING FAMILIES IN HOMES
02:22:26:00	02:22:29:00	HOW THE CITY IS SHOWING UP TO
02:22:29:00	02:22:29:00	THEM FOR THE MAINTENANCE
02:22:29:00	02:22:30:00	BECAUSE THOSE ARE LOW TO
02:22:30:00	02:22:33:00	MODERATE INCOME INDIVIDUALS OR
02:22:33:00	02:22:34:00	FAMILIES AND THEY WILL NEED TO
02:22:34:00	02:22:37:00	BE SUPPORTED FOR ANY
02:22:37:00	02:22:37:00	MAINTENANCE.
02:22:37:00	02:22:38:00	A ROOF GOES A HOT WATER TANK OR
02:22:38:00	02:22:41:00	A FURNACE GOES.
02:22:41:00	02:22:42:00	THOSE FAMILIES WILL NEED TO
02:22:42:00	02:22:42:00	COME UP WITH TENS OF THOUSANDS
02:22:42:00	02:22:44:00	OF DOLLARS AT A TIME.
02:22:44:00	02:22:48:00	SO I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS
02:22:48:00	02:22:48:00	CONVERSATION IS NEEDED.
02:22:48:00	02:22:52:00	BUT I ALSO WANT TO TAKE A LOOK
02:22:52:00	02:22:53:00	AT HOW MUCH INVESTMENTS ARE
02:22:53:00	02:22:56:00	GOING TOWARDS HOME OWNERSHIP
02:22:56:00	02:22:57:00	BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH GOING
02:22:57:00	02:23:00:00	INTO THE RENTAL SIDE AND WITH
02:23:00:00	02:23:01:00	THE STOP OR THE LACK OF FUNDING
02:23:01:00	02:23:04:00	AND COMMONWEALTH BUILDERS
02:23:04:00	02:23:04:00	THERE'S NOTHING TO INCENTIVIZE
02:23:04:00	02:23:05:00	HOME OWNERSHIP WHICH
02:23:05:00	02:23:08:00	COUNCIL MURPHY HAS OUTLINED AS
02:23:08:00	02:23:08:00	A WAY TO CREATE STABLE HOUSING
02:23:08:00	02:23:11:00	PAYMENTS.

02:27:10:00	02:27:10:00	HEARING ORDER.
02:27:10:00	02:27:13:00	WE OFTEN SPEAK IN THIS CHAMBER
02:27:13:00	02:27:14:00	ABOUT TRUST IN OUR SCHOOLS AND
02:27:14:00	02:27:17:00	THOSE CHOSEN TO LEAD THEM IN
02:27:17:00	02:27:20:00	THAT TRUST THAT ONLY DEPENDS ON
02:27:20:00	02:27:20:00	WHO IS APPOINTED BUT ALSO
02:27:20:00	02:27:21:00	WHETHER THE PROCESS IS
02:27:21:00	02:27:25:00	TRANSPARENT AND ACCOUNTABLE.
02:27:25:00	02:27:26:00	I AM CALLING A HEARING ORDER
02:27:26:00	02:27:29:00	FOR A POST AUDIT REVIEW OF THE
02:27:29:00	02:27:32:00	NOMINATING PANEL AND THE SCHOOL
02:27:32:00	02:27:32:00	COMMITTEE APPOINTMENT PROCESS.
02:27:32:00	02:27:36:00	SUCH A REVIEW WOULD ALLOW US TO
02:27:36:00	02:27:36:00	EVALUATE HOW PUBLIC RESOURCES
02:27:36:00	02:27:40:00	HAVE BEEN SPENT, WHETHER THE
02:27:40:00	02:27:41:00	PROCESS HAS BEEN MANAGED IN A
02:27:41:00	02:27:44:00	COST EFFECTIVE AND TRANSPARENT
02:27:44:00	02:27:45:00	WAY AND HOW WELL IT HAS SERVED
02:27:45:00	02:27:48:00	OUR EDUCATORS, FAMILIES AND
02:27:48:00	02:27:48:00	STUDENTS.
02:27:48:00	02:27:48:00	THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE IS ONE
02:27:48:00	02:27:51:00	OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BODIES
02:27:51:00	02:27:51:00	SHAPING THE FUTURE OF OUR
02:27:51:00	02:27:55:00	CHILDREN A POST AUDIT ENSURES
02:27:55:00	02:27:56:00	THAT BOTH TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND
02:27:56:00	02:27:59:00	THE INTEGRITY OF THE
02:27:59:00	02:27:59:00	APPOINTMENT PROCESS ARE
02:27:59:00	02:28:03:00	SAFEGUARDED AND THAT WE LEARN
02:28:03:00	02:28:03:00	FROM PAST PRACTICES TO
02:28:03:00	02:28:06:00	STRENGTHEN FUTURE ONES.
02:28:06:00	02:28:07:00	WE OWE IT TO OUR COMMUNITIES TO
02:28:07:00	02:28:10:00	ENSURE THAT THESE INVESTMENTS
02:28:10:00	02:28:11:00	OF PUBLIC FUNDS AND TRUST ARE
02:28:11:00	02:28:14:00	HANDLED WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL
02:28:14:00	02:28:15:00	OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND I JUST
02:28:15:00	02:28:19:00	WANT TO UPLIFT FOR THE RECORD
02:28:19:00	02:28:23:00	THAT WE ARE IN A PREVIOUS
02:28:23:00	02:28:24:00	ITERATION OF THIS BODY AND
02:28:24:00	02:28:26:00	BROUGHT FORTH A WHOLE PETITION
02:28:26:00	02:28:27:00	TO RESTORE TO AN ELECTED SCHOOL
02:28:27:00	02:28:31:00	COMMITTEE AND THAT HAS NOT
02:28:31:00	02:28:34:00	MANIFESTED I AS AN ADVOCATE WHO
02:28:34:00	02:28:37:00	WORKED IN THE EDUCATION SPACE
02:28:37:00	02:28:41:00	PRIOR TO BEING IN THIS CHAMBER
02:28:41:00	02:28:42:00	ONCE UPON A TIME APPLIED TO BE
02:28:42:00	02:28:45:00	APPOINTED TO THE APPOINTED
02:28:45:00	02:28:49:00	SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
02:28:49:00	02:28:50:00	BUT BECAUSE I WAS A LITTLE BIT
02:28:50:00	02:28:53:00	TOO MUCH OF AN ADVOCATE AND I
02:28:53:00	02:28:54:00	THINK TOO MUCH OF A BIG MOUTH,
02:28:54:00	02:28:57:00	I THINK THAT I WAS SEEN AS A
02:28:57:00	02:28:57:00	PROBLEM INSTEAD OF AS SOMEONE
02:28:57:00	02:29:00:00	WHO CAN HELP PROVIDE SOME
02:29:00:00	02:29:01:00	VIABLE SOLUTIONS TO THE
02:29:01:00	02:29:05:00	DISCREPANCIES THAT SO MANY
02:29:05:00	02:29:05:00	OF OUR PARENTS WERE FACING IN
02:29:05:00	02:29:08:00	THE BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND I
02:29:08:00	02:29:09:00	THINK THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY
02:29:09:00	02:29:12:00	FOR US TO REALLY REEVALUATE HOW
02:29:12:00	02:29:16:00	THESE FUNDS ARE BEING SPENT ON
02:29:16:00	02:29:17:00	OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT GETTING
02:29:17:00	02:29:20:00	THE WORD OUT, ALL OF THAT.
02:29:20:00	02:29:21:00	I THINK THAT THE MONEY THAT WE
02:29:21:00	02:29:24:00	SPEND ON MAKING SURE THAT WE
02:29:24:00	02:29:28:00	EVEN THAT PROCESS HAS A LEVEL
02:29:28:00	02:29:28:00	OF INTEGRITY IS IMPORTANT.
02:29:28:00	02:29:32:00	SO WE NEED TO SEE THE FULL
02:29:32:00	02:29:32:00	FINANCIAL PICTURE ESPECIALLY
02:29:32:00	02:29:34:00	RIGHT NOW THAT THERE'S A
02:29:34:00	02:29:35:00	VACANCY.
02:29:35:00	02:29:35:00	WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
02:29:35:00	02:29:39:00	EXPEDITE THIS PROCESS AND TO
02:29:39:00	02:29:42:00	ENSURE THAT YOU KNOW THAT WE
02:29:42:00	02:29:42:00	ARE PROVIDING THE TAXPAYER
02:29:42:00	02:29:46:00	DOLLARS WITH A REAL FULL SENSE
02:29:46:00	02:29:46:00	OF HOW THEIR MONEY IS BEING
02:29:46:00	02:29:50:00	USED TO ENSURE THAT THE
02:29:50:00	02:29:50:00	APPOINTMENT PROCESS IS
02:29:50:00	02:29:50:00	TRANSPARENT.

02:47:25:00	02:47:25:00	CAN YOU HAVE THE FLOOR?
02:47:25:00	02:47:28:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH AND THANK YOU
02:47:28:00	02:47:28:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN FOR BRINGING
02:47:28:00	02:47:29:00	THIS FORWARD.
02:47:29:00	02:47:31:00	I KNOW MANY PEOPLE THAT YOU
02:47:31:00	02:47:32:00	KNOW FEEL SO STRONGLY ABOUT THE
02:47:32:00	02:47:36:00	WAY THAT WE TALK ABOUT THIS
02:47:36:00	02:47:39:00	PARTICULAR ISSUE AND I THINK
02:47:39:00	02:47:40:00	IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE NOT
02:47:40:00	02:47:40:00	USE STIGMATIZING LANGUAGE TO
02:47:40:00	02:47:44:00	DESCRIBE THOSE THAT HAVE TAKEN
02:47:44:00	02:47:44:00	THEIR OWN LIVES.
02:47:44:00	02:47:47:00	I WOULD PREFER INSTEAD
02:47:47:00	02:47:48:00	OF COMMITTED SUICIDE THAT WE
02:47:48:00	02:47:51:00	SAY SOMETHING LIKE, YOU KNOW,
02:47:51:00	02:47:52:00	THAT JUST I FEEL LIKE THAT
02:47:52:00	02:47:55:00	CREATES A STIGMA UNFORTUNATELY
02:47:55:00	02:47:59:00	TO SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY AN
02:47:59:00	02:48:03:00	ISSUE THAT PEOPLE CAN'T CONTROL
02:48:03:00	02:48:07:00	AND I HAVING FOUND A FAMILY
02:48:07:00	02:48:10:00	MEMBER WHO ATTEMPTED I FEEL
02:48:10:00	02:48:15:00	VERY STRONGLY THAT WE NOW USE
02:48:15:00	02:48:15:00	STIGMATIZING LANGUAGE TO
02:48:15:00	02:48:18:00	DESCRIBE THOSE PARTICULAR
02:48:18:00	02:48:18:00	INCIDENCES.
02:48:18:00	02:48:18:00	THANK YOU.

02:48:33:00	02:48:37:00	THEY FEEL AS THOUGH LANGUAGE IN
02:48:37:00	02:48:37:00	ANY OF THESE RESOLUTIONS
02:48:37:00	02:48:41:00	HEARING WORD IS THAT WE FILE
02:48:41:00	02:48:42:00	THAT WE SPEAK TO OUR COLLEAGUES
02:48:42:00	02:48:45:00	BEFORE WE BRING SOMETHING
02:48:45:00	02:48:48:00	FORWARD BECAUSE I THINK IT
02:48:48:00	02:48:49:00	TAKES AWAY FROM THE REASON WE
02:48:49:00	02:48:53:00	HAVE OUR WEDNESDAY MEETINGS.

02:48:57:00	02:49:00:00	I DON'T REALLY WANT TO RESPOND
02:49:00:00	02:49:03:00	TO MY COLLEAGUE'S CRITICISM.
02:49:03:00	02:49:04:00	THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT I'VE
02:49:04:00	02:49:07:00	WORKED ON AS OF DISABLED

02:49:07:00	02:49:10:00	OF TIME AND I GO TO TRAVEL

02:49:22:00	02:49:25:00	THIS IN THIS BUILDING.
02:49:25:00	02:49:26:00	BUT THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO
02:49:26:00	02:49:29:00	IS STIGMATIZE SOMEONE AND SO I
02:49:29:00	02:49:33:00	WANT PEOPLE TO GET INTO
02:49:33:00	02:49:33:00	COUNSELING.
02:49:33:00	02:49:34:00	I WANT PEOPLE TO GET INTO

02:49:36:00	02:49:37:00	I WANT PEOPLE TO GET THE
02:49:37:00	02:49:41:00	SERVICES THAT THEY THAT THEY
02:49:41:00	02:49:41:00	NEED AND DESERVE AND TO BE
02:49:41:00	02:49:44:00	TREATED WITH WITH RESPECT AND
02:49:44:00	02:49:45:00	DIGNITY.
02:49:45:00	02:49:46:00	BUT THE LAST THING I EVER WANT
02:49:46:00	02:49:48:00	TO DO IS STIGMATIZE SOMEONE IN
02:49:48:00	02:49:48:00	NEED.
02:49:48:00	02:49:52:00	THAT'S NOT THAT'S NOT HOW I AM
02:49:52:00	02:49:52:00	.
02:49:52:00	02:49:53:00	THAT'S NOT HOW I GREW UP IN MY
02:49:53:00	02:49:56:00	NEIGHBORHOOD OF SOUTH BOSTON.
02:49:56:00	02:49:57:00	THAT'S WHY I I LITERALLY FIGHT
02:49:57:00	02:49:59:00	FOR DISABLED VETERANS AND
02:49:59:00	02:50:00:00	ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH

02:50:25:00	02:50:26:00	DON'T WANT TO MAKE THIS INTO
02:50:26:00	02:50:29:00	ANYTHING MORE THAN A LITTLE BIT
02:50:29:00	02:50:30:00	OF CRITICISM FROM FROM A
02:50:30:00	02:50:33:00	COLLEAGUE.
02:50:33:00	02:50:33:00	SO I'LL JUST LEAVE IT THERE,
02:50:33:00	02:50:34:00	MADAM CHAIR.
02:50:34:00	02:50:36:00	BUT WE'RE DISAPPOINTED IN

02:50:37:00	02:50:37:00	THANK YOU.
02:50:37:00	02:50:40:00	AND I'M JUST GOING TO INTERJECT
02:50:40:00	02:50:41:00	I KNOW THAT SO MANY OF US HERE
02:50:41:00	02:50:44:00	WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THIS BODY
02:50:44:00	02:50:48:00	AND I'LL I'LL SPEAK FOR MYSELF
02:50:48:00	02:50:50:00	HAVE PERSONAL EXPERIENCES WITH
02:50:50:00	02:50:54:00	THIS ISSUE EITHER PERSONALLY OR
02:50:54:00	02:51:01:00	WITH LOVED ONES OUR LIVES AND
02:51:01:00	02:51:05:00	OFTENTIMES THE LANGUAGE AND THE
02:51:05:00	02:51:06:00	WAY THAT WE SPEAK ABOUT
02:51:06:00	02:51:08:00	SOMETHING EVOLVES SO THAT WE
02:51:08:00	02:51:12:00	ARE ABLE TO DO IT IN THE IN THE
02:51:12:00	02:51:13:00	MOST HELPFUL WAY TO THOSE WHO
02:51:13:00	02:51:19:00	ARE AFFECTED.
02:51:19:00	02:51:23:00	AND SO IF YOU'VE HAD ANYONE WHO
02:51:23:00	02:51:24:00	HAS DIED BY SUICIDE, WHICH I
02:51:24:00	02:51:26:00	BELIEVE IS THE LANGUAGE THAT
02:51:26:00	02:51:29:00	OVER SOME YEARS IN SOME TIME
02:51:29:00	02:51:33:00	WE'VE MOVED TOWARDS THAT
02:51:33:00	02:51:36:00	LANGUAGE UPDATE IS AN IMPORTANT
02:51:36:00	02:51:37:00	ONE AND SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT
02:51:37:00	02:51:37:00	THAT OUT THERE.
02:51:37:00	02:51:38:00	I KNOW THAT IT'S AN ISSUE THAT
02:51:38:00	02:51:41:00	WE ALL CARE ABOUT DEEPLY AND
02:51:41:00	02:51:45:00	THE LANGUAGE THAT WE'RE USING
02:51:45:00	02:51:48:00	AROUND SUICIDE IS MEANT TO BE
02:51:48:00	02:51:51:00	HOPEFULLY MORE ABOUT PREVENTION
02:51:51:00	02:51:52:00	AND HELPING THOSE WHO ARE IN
02:51:52:00	02:51:55:00	NEED OF HELP.
02:51:55:00	02:51:56:00	COUNCILOR DURKIN, WOULD YOU

02:51:59:00	02:51:59:00	YEAH.
02:51:59:00	02:52:00:00	AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY TO MY
02:52:00:00	02:52:03:00	COLLEAGUES THIS REALLY FOR
02:52:03:00	02:52:03:00	ME IT JUST WAS TRIGGERING FOR
02:52:03:00	02:52:03:00	ME.
02:52:03:00	02:52:06:00	SO THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO SAY
02:52:06:00	02:52:07:00	SOMETHING BECAUSE I THINK WE
02:52:07:00	02:52:10:00	OWE IT TO OUR CONSTITUENTS THAT
02:52:10:00	02:52:14:00	HAVE SUICIDAL IDEATIONS TO KNOW
02:52:14:00	02:52:15:00	THAT IF THEY LOSE THEIR LIFE IT
02:52:15:00	02:52:15:00	IS NOT THEIR FAULT.
02:52:15:00	02:52:18:00	IT IS NEVER YOUR FAULT THAT AND
02:52:18:00	02:52:22:00	I REALLY THIS IS JUST AN ISSUE
02:52:22:00	02:52:25:00	THAT'S DEEPLY PERSONAL TO
02:52:25:00	02:52:26:00	ME AND THAT'S THAT'S WHY I'M
02:52:26:00	02:52:27:00	SAYING THIS IT IS NOT ANY
02:52:27:00	02:52:30:00	PERSONAL ISSUE WITH ANY
02:52:30:00	02:52:30:00	COLLEAGUES SPEAKING ABOUT THIS
02:52:30:00	02:52:30:00	ISSUE.

02:52:38:00	02:52:38:00	STRONGLY ABOUT NOT USING THE
02:52:38:00	02:52:41:00	TERM COMMITTED SUICIDE AND
02:52:41:00	02:52:42:00	INSTEAD USING THE TERM DIED BY

02:52:58:00	02:52:58:00	RIGHT.
02:52:58:00	02:53:00:00	AND IT'S ALL IN HOW WE CHOOSE
02:53:00:00	02:53:01:00	TO EXPERIENCE THE FEEDBACK THAT
02:53:01:00	02:53:03:00	WE GET RIGHT.
02:53:03:00	02:53:04:00	I THINK WE'RE ALL A WORK IN
02:53:04:00	02:53:07:00	PROGRESS AND SO I'VE LEARNED A
02:53:07:00	02:53:11:00	LOT BY AND FOR THOSE YOU

02:53:12:00	02:53:15:00	ATTEMPT SURVIVOR, RIGHT?
02:53:15:00	02:53:16:00	SO THIS IS ALSO VERY TRIGGERING
02:53:16:00	02:53:20:00	FOR ME BECAUSE MY MOM NEVER GOT
02:53:20:00	02:53:22:00	ME THE CARE THAT I NEEDED
02:53:22:00	02:53:23:00	BECAUSE OF THE STIGMA THAT THAT
02:53:23:00	02:53:27:00	THAT EXISTS IN OUR COMMUNITY
02:53:27:00	02:53:27:00	REGARDING MENTAL HEALTH.
02:53:27:00	02:53:31:00	SO I DO APPRECIATE THE
02:53:31:00	02:53:32:00	IMPORTANCE OF RECOGNIZING THE
02:53:32:00	02:53:35:00	STIGMA THAT IS ASSOCIATED AND I
02:53:35:00	02:53:36:00	ALSO WANT TO YOU KNOW, NAME
02:53:36:00	02:53:40:00	THAT MY GRANDFATHER DIED BY

02:53:41:00	02:53:44:00	WHO WAS A MILITARY BUT SO IT IS
02:53:44:00	02:53:48:00	VERY PERSONAL TO ME WHEN ANY
02:53:48:00	02:53:51:00	CONVERSATIONS AROUND SUICIDE
02:53:51:00	02:53:55:00	ENTERS THIS CHAMBER AND SO I
02:53:55:00	02:53:58:00	JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
02:53:58:00	02:54:02:00	IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO JUST
02:54:02:00	02:54:06:00	BE MINDFUL OF EACH OTHER AS WE

02:54:20:00	02:54:24:00	WHO ARE EXPERIENCING PAIN.
02:54:24:00	02:54:25:00	AND SO IF WE FOCUS ON THE
02:54:25:00	02:54:28:00	HUMANITY OF IT, I THINK THAT WE
02:54:28:00	02:54:31:00	CAN YOU KNOW, REALIGN OURSELVES

02:56:16:00	02:56:17:00	PARKING GARAGE IS BUILT, HOW
02:56:17:00	02:56:19:00	WE'RE ABLE TO INCLUDE
02:56:19:00	02:56:20:00	INFRASTRUCTURE IN A PARTICULAR
02:56:20:00	02:56:26:00	BUILDING SO IT IS SAFE FOR
02:56:26:00	02:56:26:00	EVERYBODY.
02:56:26:00	02:56:30:00	MY OTHER POINT IS ENSURING THAT
02:56:30:00	02:56:34:00	CURRENT HIGH RISE SKIES,
02:56:34:00	02:56:37:00	PARKING GARAGES HAVE THE
02:56:37:00	02:56:38:00	NECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE SO WE
02:56:38:00	02:56:42:00	COULD PREVENT SUICIDES.
02:56:42:00	02:56:48:00	MY OTHER ASPECT OF MY COMMENTS
02:56:48:00	02:56:49:00	WAS ENSURING PEOPLE GET THE
02:56:49:00	02:56:53:00	NECESSARY AND NEVER ACCESS TO
02:56:53:00	02:56:54:00	THE NECESSARY MENTAL HEALTH
02:56:54:00	02:56:57:00	COUNSELING.
02:56:57:00	02:56:57:00	THAT'S SOMETHING I FOCUSED ON
02:56:57:00	02:57:00:00	IN MY OPENING COMMENTS THAT
02:57:00:00	02:57:07:00	WASN'T DISCUSSED.
02:57:07:00	02:57:08:00	I WAS OVER THE VETERAN'S
02:57:08:00	02:57:10:00	ADMINISTRATION HOSPITAL
02:57:10:00	02:57:11:00	YESTERDAY TALKING TO TALKING TO
02:57:11:00	02:57:15:00	VETERANS THAT ARE THAT ARE IN
02:57:15:00	02:57:18:00	VERY DIFFICULT SITUATIONS.
02:57:18:00	02:57:19:00	THEY'RE LIVING IN RESIDENTIAL
02:57:19:00	02:57:23:00	PROGRAMS OVER THERE AND THEY'RE
02:57:23:00	02:57:23:00	GOING TO MENTAL HEALTH
02:57:23:00	02:57:23:00	COUNSELING.
02:57:23:00	02:57:29:00	ONE GUY WAS GOING TO A A GROUP
02:57:29:00	02:57:30:00	A GROUP MEETING ON ANGER
02:57:30:00	02:57:30:00	MANAGEMENT.
02:57:30:00	02:57:34:00	ANOTHER GUY SEEING HIS
02:57:34:00	02:57:34:00	PSYCHIATRIST.
02:57:34:00	02:57:35:00	ANOTHER WOMAN WAS SAYING HER
02:57:35:00	02:57:40:00	WORKER I DON'T FEEL LIKE I NEED
02:57:40:00	02:57:43:00	TO BE LECTURED BY A CITY
02:57:43:00	02:57:44:00	COUNCIL COLLEAGUE ON THIS
02:57:44:00	02:57:46:00	SUBJECT THAT CAN ACTUALLY THANK
02:57:46:00	02:57:50:00	YOU.
02:57:50:00	02:57:51:00	WHAT I HEAR AND UNDERSTAND IS
02:57:51:00	02:57:55:00	THAT I WOULD LIKE TO YES, YES,
02:57:55:00	02:57:55:00	YES.
02:57:55:00	02:57:58:00	AND I'M THE CHAIR.
02:57:58:00	02:57:59:00	YEAH, I AM THE CHAIR AND I'M
02:57:59:00	02:58:02:00	SPEAKING I HAVE IDEA MIKE AND
02:58:02:00	02:58:05:00	I'M SPEAKING THAT COUNSELOR
02:58:05:00	02:58:06:00	FLYNN IS TRYING TO ADDRESS AN
02:58:06:00	02:58:09:00	ISSUE USE LANGUAGE THAT PERHAPS
02:58:09:00	02:58:13:00	WAS NOT THE THAT WE ARE USING
02:58:13:00	02:58:16:00	RIGHT NOW AROUND PREVENTION.
02:58:16:00	02:58:17:00	THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT MATTERS
02:58:17:00	02:58:20:00	DEEPLY AND I UNDERSTAND THAT IT
02:58:20:00	02:58:24:00	WAS TRIGGERING IT WAS NOT MEANT
02:58:24:00	02:58:25:00	TO DISTRACT FROM THE TOPIC
02:58:25:00	02:58:28:00	ALTHOUGH IT MAY HAVE COME
02:58:28:00	02:58:28:00	ACROSS THAT WAY.
02:58:28:00	02:58:31:00	THIS IS A TRIGGERING ISSUE FOR
02:58:31:00	02:58:31:00	.
02:58:31:00	02:58:32:00	A NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THIS
02:58:32:00	02:58:35:00	CHAMBERS I DON'T BELIEVE THAT
02:58:35:00	02:58:36:00	WE SHOULD BE ENGAGED IN A BIG
02:58:36:00	02:58:39:00	BACK AND FORTH.
02:58:39:00	02:58:39:00	I KNOW, I KNOW.
02:58:39:00	02:58:43:00	YES, I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU THE
02:58:43:00	02:58:43:00	MIC AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO
02:58:43:00	02:58:46:00	RESPOND AND HE WILL HAVE AS A
02:58:46:00	02:58:47:00	SPONSOR BE ABLE TO TALK AND
02:58:47:00	02:58:50:00	THEN WE ARE MOVING ON BECAUSE I
02:58:50:00	02:58:51:00	THINK THAT I DON'T WANT US TO
02:58:51:00	02:58:53:00	BE GETTING LOST IN THE SAUCE
02:58:53:00	02:58:57:00	HERE THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO
02:58:57:00	02:58:58:00	MAY NOT KNOW THE LANGUAGE AND
02:58:58:00	02:59:01:00	THE TERMINOLOGY THAT IS BEST AT
02:59:01:00	02:59:02:00	THIS MOMENT TO BE USING AROUND
02:59:02:00	02:59:05:00	TO AROUND SUICIDE.
02:59:05:00	02:59:06:00	AND SO I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT
02:59:06:00	02:59:06:00	DISCUSSION THAT WE CAN CONTINUE
02:59:06:00	02:59:09:00	TO HAVE.
02:59:09:00	02:59:10:00	I WILL GIVE THE FLOOR TO
02:59:10:00	02:59:10:00	RESPOND.
02:59:10:00	02:59:12:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN YOU CAN RESPOND
02:59:12:00	02:59:13:00	THEN WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE
02:59:13:00	02:59:14:00	NEXT DOCKET.
02:59:14:00	02:59:14:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
02:59:14:00	02:59:19:00	COUNCILOR DURKAN I JUST WANT TO
02:59:19:00	02:59:20:00	SAY THAT MY ADVOCACY ON ALL
02:59:20:00	02:59:22:00	ISSUES OF MENTAL HEALTH HAS
02:59:22:00	02:59:23:00	BEEN CONSISTENT AND SINCE I RAN
02:59:23:00	02:59:26:00	FOR OFFICE MY ENTIRE LIFE IS
02:59:26:00	02:59:30:00	IMPACTED BY MENTAL HEALTH.
02:59:30:00	02:59:34:00	MY DAD IS SCHIZOPHRENIC.
02:59:34:00	02:59:34:00	I FOUND A FAMILY MEMBER WHEN
02:59:34:00	02:59:37:00	THEY WERE COMMITTING SUICIDE
02:59:37:00	02:59:38:00	WHEN I WAS ON HIGH SCHOOL OR
02:59:38:00	02:59:41:00	NOT OR ATTEMPTED AND I
02:59:41:00	02:59:42:00	UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION ABOUT
02:59:42:00	02:59:43:00	LANGUAGE AND I UNDERSTAND I WAS
02:59:43:00	02:59:45:00	NOT TRYING TO DISTRACT BUT THE
02:59:45:00	02:59:46:00	WAY THAT WE TALK ABOUT MENTAL
02:59:46:00	02:59:49:00	HEALTH DOES MATTER AND MY
02:59:49:00	02:59:49:00	ADVOCACY ON THIS ISSUE IS
02:59:49:00	02:59:52:00	REALLY PERSONALLY IMPORTANT TO
02:59:52:00	02:59:52:00	ME.
02:59:52:00	02:59:53:00	AND SO THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I
02:59:53:00	02:59:57:00	FIND IT UPSETTING THAT MY
02:59:57:00	03:00:00:00	COLLEAGUE FROM DISTRICT TWO
03:00:00:00	03:00:01:00	CAN'T JUST ACCEPT THAT I HAD AN
03:00:01:00	03:00:04:00	ISSUE WITH THE WAY THAT HE
03:00:04:00	03:00:05:00	TALKED ABOUT SOMETHING AND
03:00:05:00	03:00:08:00	INSTEAD IS DRAWING ME BACK INTO
03:00:08:00	03:00:09:00	THIS BACK AND FORTH AND I THINK
03:00:09:00	03:00:12:00	THAT WHEN ISSUES MATTER DEEPLY
03:00:12:00	03:00:15:00	TO SOMEONE THEY CARE A LOT
03:00:15:00	03:00:16:00	ABOUT THE WAY THAT THEY'RE
03:00:16:00	03:00:17:00	TALKED ABOUT AND THAT'S ALL I'M
03:00:17:00	03:00:19:00	SAYING AND COUNCILOR FLYNN, I
03:00:19:00	03:00:23:00	RESPECT ALL OF YOUR SERVICE.

03:00:27:00	03:00:28:00	AND SO I AM REALLY NOT TRYING
03:00:28:00	03:00:31:00	TO CREATE ANY ANIMUS BETWEEN US
03:00:31:00	03:00:34:00	ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE.

03:02:31:00	03:02:32:00	HAD A PROPOSAL.
03:02:32:00	03:02:35:00	MADAM CHAIR, AND IT WAS ABOUT
03:02:35:00	03:02:39:00	HIGH RISES THAT HAVE THE RYDGES
03:02:39:00	03:02:43:00	AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO FIX THE
03:02:43:00	03:02:47:00	PROBLEM TO INSTALL RAILINGS ON
03:02:47:00	03:02:51:00	CURRENT GARAGES I'VE HAD TWO
03:02:51:00	03:02:55:00	PEOPLE IN MY DISTRICT RECENTLY
03:02:55:00	03:02:55:00	THAT JUMPED FROM A PARKING
03:02:55:00	03:02:58:00	GARAGE.
03:02:58:00	03:02:59:00	I WANT TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO
03:02:59:00	03:03:02:00	TO IMPROVE THAT TO MAKE IT
03:03:02:00	03:03:02:00	BETTER.
03:03:02:00	03:03:06:00	I WANT TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO AS
03:03:06:00	03:03:06:00	A DISTRICT CITY COUNCILOR WHEN
03:03:06:00	03:03:09:00	PEOPLE GO TO PUT UP A NEW
03:03:09:00	03:03:10:00	BUILDING AND THE CITY OF BOSTON
03:03:10:00	03:03:13:00	WILL THOSE PARKING GARAGES ALSO
03:03:13:00	03:03:17:00	HAVE RAILINGS TO PREVENT
03:03:17:00	03:03:17:00	SUICIDES?
03:03:17:00	03:03:23:00	MY OTHER POINT WAS COUNSELING
03:03:23:00	03:03:24:00	THAT IS THAT IS CRITICALLY
03:03:24:00	03:03:27:00	NEEDED WHETHER IT'S VETERANS OR
03:03:27:00	03:03:28:00	IT'S PEOPLE IN SCHOOLS.

03:03:32:00	03:03:32:00	COUNCIL DURING DURING COVID I
03:03:32:00	03:03:35:00	SAW THE IMPACT THIS HAD ON
03:03:35:00	03:03:36:00	YOUNG KIDS.
03:03:36:00	03:03:39:00	I FOUGHT EIGHT YEARS GETTING
03:03:39:00	03:03:39:00	PEOPLE INTO MENTAL HEALTH,
03:03:39:00	03:03:42:00	MENTAL COUNSELING AS A CITY
03:03:42:00	03:03:43:00	COUNCILOR I DID THAT AS A

03:04:06:00	03:04:09:00	GET INTO OTHER REENTRY SERVICES
03:04:09:00	03:04:12:00	BUT MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING
03:04:12:00	03:04:13:00	WAS REALLY THE IMPORTANT PART
03:04:13:00	03:04:13:00	OF IT.

03:04:31:00	03:04:32:00	TALK ABOUT WHAT IS THE BEST WAY
03:04:32:00	03:04:35:00	TO TALK ABOUT THIS DEEPLY
03:04:35:00	03:04:36:00	TRIGGERING DEEPLY DIFFICULT

03:12:31:00	03:12:35:00	MADAM PRESIDENT, I RISE TO TALK
03:12:35:00	03:12:35:00	ABOUT A SCARY EVENT THAT TOOK
03:12:35:00	03:12:38:00	PLACE JUST LAST WEEK ON JULY
03:12:38:00	03:12:38:00	29TH ON BARTLETT STREET IN
03:12:38:00	03:12:38:00	CHARLESTOWN.
03:12:38:00	03:12:41:00	THERE WAS A CLUSTER OF OVERHEAD
03:12:41:00	03:12:42:00	ELECTRICAL WIRES THAT CAUGHT
03:12:42:00	03:12:45:00	FIRE DROPPED TO THE GROUND.
03:12:45:00	03:12:49:00	SPARKS HAPPENED A CAR AND A
03:12:49:00	03:12:50:00	MOTORCYCLE UNFORTUNATELY WERE
03:12:50:00	03:12:53:00	COLLATERAL DAMAGE IN THIS
03:12:53:00	03:12:54:00	INSTANCE IT WAS A REALLY SCARY
03:12:54:00	03:12:54:00	SITUATION.
03:12:54:00	03:12:57:00	THANK GOD IT HAPPENED DURING
03:12:57:00	03:12:57:00	THE DAYTIME SO THAT FOLKS COULD
03:12:57:00	03:12:57:00	SEE IT.
03:12:57:00	03:13:00:00	WHO KNOWS IF IT HAPPENED WHEN
03:13:00:00	03:13:01:00	IT WAS AT 3 A.M. AND PEOPLE
03:13:01:00	03:13:01:00	WERE SLEEPING.
03:13:01:00	03:13:02:00	I THINK WE COULD HAVE BEEN
03:13:02:00	03:13:04:00	UNFORTUNATELY TALKING ABOUT A
03:13:04:00	03:13:05:00	DIFFERENT SITUATION HERE.
03:13:05:00	03:13:05:00	EVERSOURCE CREWS WERE ABLE TO
03:13:05:00	03:13:08:00	GET OUT THERE AND TO MITIGATE
03:13:08:00	03:13:09:00	THE SITUATION.
03:13:09:00	03:13:12:00	THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS OUT
03:13:12:00	03:13:12:00	THERE.
03:13:12:00	03:13:13:00	I THINK IN THIS CONVERSATION I
03:13:13:00	03:13:13:00	CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO BRING
03:13:13:00	03:13:16:00	IN EVERSOURCE VERIZON WHO OWNS
03:13:16:00	03:13:20:00	THE THE THE POLES RCA AND STILL

03:13:23:00	03:13:24:00	HANGING UP IN THE CITY
03:13:24:00	03:13:27:00	OF BOSTON BUT THERE IS A FIRE
03:13:27:00	03:13:31:00	PRIORITIZATION SYSTEM THAT IS
03:13:31:00	03:13:31:00	UTILIZED IN INSTANCES LIKE THIS
03:13:31:00	03:13:34:00	AND THERE'S A LOT
03:13:34:00	03:13:34:00	OF COLLABORATION THAT NEEDS TO
03:13:34:00	03:13:35:00	HAPPEN AND WANT TO TALK ABOUT
03:13:35:00	03:13:38:00	THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM
03:13:38:00	03:13:38:00	IN GENERAL WHILE ALSO TALKING
03:13:38:00	03:13:42:00	TO EVERSOURCE AND VERIZON ABOUT
03:13:42:00	03:13:45:00	WHAT THEY ARE DOING LONG TERM
03:13:45:00	03:13:46:00	HOLISTICALLY IN THE CITY
03:13:46:00	03:13:46:00	OF BOSTON TO ENSURE THAT AS
03:13:46:00	03:13:50:00	UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE DEALING
03:13:50:00	03:13:50:00	WITH THIS CLIMATE CRISIS AND IT
03:13:50:00	03:13:53:00	IS GETTING HOTTER IN BOSTON
03:13:53:00	03:13:54:00	MAKING SURE LIKE SOMETHING LIKE
03:13:54:00	03:13:57:00	THIS OR ENSURING THAT SOMETHING
03:13:57:00	03:13:58:00	LIKE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
03:13:58:00	03:13:58:00	AND SO I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO
03:13:58:00	03:13:59:00	THIS CONVERSATION.
03:13:59:00	03:14:01:00	I'M HOPEFUL THAT IT WILL BE
03:14:01:00	03:14:01:00	PRODUCTIVE.
03:14:01:00	03:14:02:00	WE'LL HAVE MANY FOLKS FROM

03:14:08:00	03:14:12:00	UNDERSTAND WHAT SOME OF THE

03:14:12:00	03:14:13:00	SOLUTIONS ARE TO AVOID THIS

03:14:38:00	03:14:41:00	ARE JUST SORT OF IN REGARDS TO
03:14:41:00	03:14:42:00	IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY

03:15:52:00	03:15:55:00	CONTAINERIZATION FOR COMMERCIAL
03:15:55:00	03:15:56:00	TRASH.
03:15:56:00	03:15:56:00	ANYONE WHO LIVES IN THE
03:15:56:00	03:15:57:00	DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOODS
03:15:57:00	03:15:59:00	INCLUDING BEACON HILL, BACK BAY
03:15:59:00	03:16:00:00	AND THE FENWAY WHICH I
03:16:00:00	03:16:01:00	REPRESENT KNOWS THIS ALL TOO
03:16:01:00	03:16:03:00	WELL AS BEACON HILL.
03:16:03:00	03:16:04:00	AS A BEACON HILL RESIDENT I SEE
03:16:04:00	03:16:07:00	IT EVERY SINGLE WEEK BY LATE
03:16:07:00	03:16:08:00	AFTERNOON BAGS LINING THE
03:16:08:00	03:16:11:00	SIDEWALKS BY MORNING MANY ARE
03:16:11:00	03:16:11:00	TORN OPEN BY RODENTS AND LITTER
03:16:11:00	03:16:12:00	IS SCATTERED ACROSS THE STREET
03:16:12:00	03:16:14:00	AND SOME NEIGHBORHOODS PICKUP
03:16:14:00	03:16:15:00	DOESN'T HAPPEN UNTIL LATE THE
03:16:15:00	03:16:18:00	NEXT DAY MEANING THAT TRASH CAN
03:16:18:00	03:16:19:00	SIT OUT FOR MORE THAN 24 HOURS.
03:16:19:00	03:16:22:00	THE PROBLEM IS EVEN WORSE IN
03:16:22:00	03:16:22:00	COMMERCIAL AREAS LIKE CAUSEWAY
03:16:22:00	03:16:26:00	NEWBURY, DOWNTOWN AND CHINATOWN
03:16:26:00	03:16:27:00	WHERE BUSINESSES PUT OUT LARGE
03:16:27:00	03:16:27:00	VOLUMES OF TRASH AND BAGS.
03:16:27:00	03:16:30:00	WE'VE ALL WALKED DOWN A BLOCK
03:16:30:00	03:16:31:00	LIKE THAT THIS SUMMER.
03:16:31:00	03:16:34:00	IT'S NOT JUST UNPLEASANT, IT'S
03:16:34:00	03:16:34:00	NOT JUST SMELLY.
03:16:34:00	03:16:35:00	IT'S SOMETHING THAT DEEPLY
03:16:35:00	03:16:38:00	IMPACTS OUR CONSTITUENTS
03:16:38:00	03:16:38:00	QUALITY OF LIFE.
03:16:38:00	03:16:39:00	THIS IS ALSO A DISABILITY
03:16:39:00	03:16:41:00	RIGHTS ISSUE.
03:16:41:00	03:16:42:00	IT'S HARD TO WALK OR ROLL DOWN
03:16:42:00	03:16:45:00	A STREET WITH BAGS EVERYWHERE
03:16:45:00	03:16:46:00	AND THERE'S THIS SANITARY ISSUE
03:16:46:00	03:16:49:00	AND THESE SANDWICH ON SANITARY
03:16:49:00	03:16:49:00	CONDITIONS ARE SOMETHING THAT
03:16:49:00	03:16:52:00	ARE PLAGUING BOSTON.
03:16:52:00	03:16:53:00	THE CITY RECENTLY HIRED AN
03:16:53:00	03:16:56:00	URBAN WROTE A GEOLOGIST WHICH
03:16:56:00	03:16:57:00	CONFIRMED IN THE BOSTON RODENT
03:16:57:00	03:16:57:00	ACTION PLAN THAT LEAVING BAGS
03:16:57:00	03:17:01:00	OUT OVERNIGHT IS ONE OF THE
03:17:01:00	03:17:01:00	BIGGEST DRIVERS OF INFESTATION.
03:17:01:00	03:17:04:00	THE REPORT CALLS FOR STRONGER
03:17:04:00	03:17:05:00	MANAGEMENT OF PRACTICES AND
03:17:05:00	03:17:05:00	HIGHLIGHTS NEIGHBORHOODS WHICH
03:17:05:00	03:17:09:00	RELY ON BAGS AND HAVE HIGH
03:17:09:00	03:17:09:00	LEVELS OF COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY
03:17:09:00	03:17:13:00	AS PRIORITY ACTION AREAS.
03:17:13:00	03:17:13:00	STATE LAW ALREADY BANS LEAVING
03:17:13:00	03:17:16:00	TRASH AND PLASTIC BAG BAGS ON
03:17:16:00	03:17:17:00	THE STREET BUT THAT RULE IS NOT
03:17:17:00	03:17:17:00	ENFORCED.
03:17:17:00	03:17:20:00	WHILE CONTAINERIZATION OF ALL
03:17:20:00	03:17:21:00	WASTE IS AN IDEAL SOLUTION,
03:17:21:00	03:17:24:00	NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE BACK BAY AND
03:17:24:00	03:17:25:00	BEACON HILL PRESENT CHALLENGES
03:17:25:00	03:17:25:00	WHEN IT COMES TO SPACE FOR
03:17:25:00	03:17:28:00	RECIPROCAL RECEPTACLES AND THIS
03:17:28:00	03:17:29:00	REASON IS FAIRLY NEW.
03:17:29:00	03:17:32:00	THE REASON FOR THIS DIFFICULTY
03:17:32:00	03:17:36:00	IS ONE OF SPACE FOR MANY FOR
03:17:36:00	03:17:39:00	MANY AND FOR FOR MANY UNITS
03:17:39:00	03:17:40:00	THERE USED TO BE BASEMENT LEVEL
03:17:40:00	03:17:40:00	TRASH ROOMS.
03:17:40:00	03:17:43:00	THOSE HAVE BEEN CONVERTED INTO
03:17:43:00	03:17:44:00	APARTMENTS AND THIS HEARING IS
03:17:44:00	03:17:47:00	ABOUT TACKLING THE PROBLEM FROM
03:17:47:00	03:17:47:00	BOTH ENDS.
03:17:47:00	03:17:47:00	REDUCING THE TIME RESIDENTIAL
03:17:47:00	03:17:50:00	TRASH SITS ON OUR STREETS AND
03:17:50:00	03:17:51:00	ENSURING COMMERCIAL TRASH
03:17:51:00	03:17:51:00	ESPECIALLY FOOD WASTE FROM
03:17:51:00	03:17:55:00	RESTAURANTS AND BUSINESSES IS
03:17:55:00	03:17:56:00	IN SECURED CONTAINERS INSTEAD
03:17:56:00	03:17:59:00	OF LEFT OUT OF IT AND EXPOSED
03:17:59:00	03:17:59:00	BAGS.
03:17:59:00	03:18:00:00	MY OFFICE IS APPROACHING THIS
03:18:00:00	03:18:03:00	ISSUE FROM SO MANY ANGLES.
03:18:03:00	03:18:04:00	WE FOUGHT FOR PROJECT OSCAR
03:18:04:00	03:18:07:00	BINS IN THE WEST END ON BEACON
03:18:07:00	03:18:08:00	HILL AND WE KNOW THAT LESS FOOD
03:18:08:00	03:18:11:00	WASTE ON THE STREETS MEANS LESS
03:18:11:00	03:18:11:00	RATS.
03:18:11:00	03:18:12:00	BUT I THINK WE NEED TO TAKE
03:18:12:00	03:18:14:00	THIS A STEP FOR A STEP FURTHER.
03:18:14:00	03:18:17:00	A 5 P.M. TRASH TIME THE DAY
03:18:17:00	03:18:20:00	BEFORE TRASH DAY IN SOME
03:18:20:00	03:18:21:00	NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE BEACON HILL
03:18:21:00	03:18:24:00	WHERE TRASH STARTS AT 6 A.M. IS
03:18:24:00	03:18:24:00	GOING TO REQUIRE A DEEP
03:18:24:00	03:18:24:00	CONVERSATION.
03:18:24:00	03:18:27:00	THIS WILL REQUIRE COORDINATION
03:18:27:00	03:18:28:00	AND I KNOW IT'S GOING TO TAKE A
03:18:28:00	03:18:31:00	LOT OF WORK TO BRING RESIDENTS
03:18:31:00	03:18:32:00	AND BUSINESSES ALONG.
03:18:32:00	03:18:32:00	BUT THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO HEAR
03:18:32:00	03:18:35:00	FROM PUBLIC WORKS.
03:18:35:00	03:18:35:00	WE NEED TO HEAR FROM
03:18:35:00	03:18:36:00	INSPECTIONAL SERVICES,
03:18:36:00	03:18:38:00	BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS HOW TO
03:18:38:00	03:18:38:00	MAKE THIS WORK.
03:18:38:00	03:18:39:00	OUR CONSTITUENTS DESERVE
03:18:39:00	03:18:42:00	CLEANER, HEALTHIER STREETS AND
03:18:42:00	03:18:43:00	THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE HAVE A
03:18:43:00	03:18:47:00	CITY AS A CITY HAVE THE ABILITY
03:18:47:00	03:18:47:00	THE KNOW HOW AND THE MAYOR TO
03:18:47:00	03:18:50:00	GET THIS DONE SO I'M HOPING TO
03:18:50:00	03:18:51:00	WORK WITH EVERY SINGLE ONE

03:19:14:00	03:19:14:00	JUST KIDDING.
03:19:14:00	03:19:18:00	NOW YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
03:19:18:00	03:19:19:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
03:19:19:00	03:19:19:00	AND I WANT TO THANK MY
03:19:19:00	03:19:21:00	COLLEAGUE FOR ADDING ME AS A
03:19:21:00	03:19:21:00	SECOND CO-SPONSOR.
03:19:21:00	03:19:25:00	I REALLY LOVE ALL FACETS
03:19:25:00	03:19:25:00	OF THIS JOB.
03:19:25:00	03:19:26:00	OF COURSE THE NUTS AND BOLTS IS
03:19:26:00	03:19:29:00	IS MY FAVORITE.
03:19:29:00	03:19:30:00	I DID NOT HOWEVER, EXPECT TO BE
03:19:30:00	03:19:33:00	TALKING ABOUT TRASH AND AS MUCH
03:19:33:00	03:19:36:00	AS I AM AND TRASH TRASH BAGS
03:19:36:00	03:19:37:00	AND TRASH CONTAINERS.
03:19:37:00	03:19:40:00	BUT IT IS A VERY REAL PROBLEM
03:19:40:00	03:19:41:00	AND IT SPEAKS TO THE LARGER
03:19:41:00	03:19:44:00	ISSUE OF WASTE IN GENERAL THAT
03:19:44:00	03:19:46:00	WE AS A CITY, AS A STATE, AS A
03:19:46:00	03:19:48:00	COUNTRY ARE CURRENTLY DEALING
03:19:48:00	03:19:48:00	WITH.
03:19:48:00	03:19:51:00	WE ALL HAVE TO DO OUR PART TO
03:19:51:00	03:19:52:00	DEPLOY SUSTAINABILITY MEASURES
03:19:52:00	03:19:55:00	IN OUR OWN LIVES.
03:19:55:00	03:19:56:00	AND I SAY THAT UNDERSTANDING
03:19:56:00	03:19:57:00	THAT I MYSELF AM NOT A PERFECT
03:19:57:00	03:19:57:00	PERSON.
03:19:57:00	03:19:59:00	I HAVE TO BE BETTER WITH MY OWN
03:19:59:00	03:20:00:00	TRASH AND THE WASTE THAT THAT
03:20:00:00	03:20:03:00	MY HOUSEHOLD PRODUCES.
03:20:03:00	03:20:04:00	BUT ALL THAT IS TO SAY IS THAT
03:20:04:00	03:20:07:00	WE HAVE TO BE STRATEGIC, WE
03:20:07:00	03:20:08:00	HAVE TO BE INNOVATIVE.
03:20:08:00	03:20:08:00	SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS A
03:20:08:00	03:20:11:00	WELCOME TO APPROACH.
03:20:11:00	03:20:12:00	MY OFFICE HAS BEEN WORKING ON
03:20:12:00	03:20:12:00	TRYING TO TRACK GARBAGE TRUCKS
03:20:12:00	03:20:15:00	AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD SO THAT
03:20:15:00	03:20:16:00	PEOPLE CAN PUT OUT THEIR TRASH
03:20:16:00	03:20:19:00	WHEN IT IS TIME THAT THEY DON'T
03:20:19:00	03:20:22:00	HAVE TO PUT IT OUT AFTER 5 P.M.
03:20:22:00	03:20:26:00	OR OR BEFORE THEY GO TO TO WORK
03:20:26:00	03:20:27:00	THEY CAN JUST LITERALLY PUT IT
03:20:27:00	03:20:29:00	OUT IF THEY'RE WORKING FROM
03:20:29:00	03:20:30:00	HOME, IF THEY'RE NOT WORKING
03:20:30:00	03:20:31:00	FROM HOME AND THEY DON'T HAVE
03:20:31:00	03:20:31:00	THAT THAT PRIVILEGE OR THAT
03:20:31:00	03:20:34:00	LUXURY WE DID PUT IN IN LAST
03:20:34:00	03:20:37:00	YEAR'S BUDGET $100,000 FOR A
03:20:37:00	03:20:37:00	TRASH CONTAINERIZATION PILOT
03:20:37:00	03:20:40:00	PROGRAM WHICH HAS PAID FOR A
03:20:40:00	03:20:41:00	TRASH FELLOW THAT IS SUPERVISED
03:20:41:00	03:20:44:00	BY DENNIS ROACH TO UNDERSTAND
03:20:44:00	03:20:44:00	WHAT IT MIGHT MEAN TO HAVE
03:20:44:00	03:20:48:00	THESE CONTAINERS ON THE STREETS
03:20:48:00	03:20:49:00	IN THE SAME WAY THAT THEY DO IN
03:20:49:00	03:20:52:00	BARCELONA OF COURSE AND REALLY
03:20:52:00	03:20:53:00	HAPPY TO SEE THE TRASH CANS
03:20:53:00	03:20:53:00	THAT WERE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER.
03:20:53:00	03:20:56:00	THOSE WERE INSTALLED LAST YEAR
03:20:56:00	03:20:57:00	I CALL THEM THE FORT KNOX
03:20:57:00	03:21:00:00	OF TRASH BARRELS ONLY BECAUSE
03:21:00:00	03:21:00:00	THEY REALLY ARE VERY DIFFICULT
03:21:00:00	03:21:01:00	FOR RATS TO GET IN.
03:21:01:00	03:21:03:00	BUT ALL OF THIS IS PART OF THE
03:21:03:00	03:21:04:00	MULTIFACETED STRATEGY THAT WE
03:21:04:00	03:21:07:00	NEED TO DEPLOY TO CURB LITTER,
03:21:07:00	03:21:08:00	ADDRESS THE WASTE PROBLEM IN
03:21:08:00	03:21:11:00	OUR CITY WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY
03:21:11:00	03:21:15:00	HAVE POSITIVE IMPACTS ON OUR
03:21:15:00	03:21:15:00	ABILITY TO MITIGATE RATS AND TO
03:21:15:00	03:21:19:00	HELP US WIN OUR PERENNIAL
03:21:19:00	03:21:19:00	BATTLE WITH RATS HERE IN THE
03:21:19:00	03:21:19:00	CITY.
03:21:19:00	03:21:20:00	SO THANK YOU TO MY COLLEAGUE.
03:21:20:00	03:21:22:00	I LOOK FORWARD TO THE
03:21:22:00	03:21:22:00	CONVERSATION.
03:21:22:00	03:21:22:00	THANK YOU.
03:21:22:00	03:21:26:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH AND THANK YOU
03:21:26:00	03:21:27:00	COUNCILOR DURKIN FOR ADDING ME.
03:21:27:00	03:21:30:00	THIS IS IMPORTANT I THINK WHAT
03:21:30:00	03:21:31:00	COUNCILOR COLETTE IS ABOUT TO
03:21:31:00	03:21:33:00	SAY THAT I ALSO FIND
03:21:33:00	03:21:34:00	FASCINATING THAT AMOUNT THAT WE
03:21:34:00	03:21:37:00	TALK ABOUT WASTE, WASTE AND
03:21:37:00	03:21:37:00	TRASH BUT THAT BECAUSE IT'S
03:21:37:00	03:21:38:00	WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS DESERVE AND
03:21:38:00	03:21:41:00	OUR RESIDENTS DESERVE TO FEEL
03:21:41:00	03:21:42:00	GOOD ABOUT THE CITY AND ABOUT
03:21:42:00	03:21:43:00	THE NEIGHBORS THAT THEY LIVE IN
03:21:43:00	03:21:45:00	AND IF THEY SEE TRASH STREWN
03:21:45:00	03:21:45:00	EVERYWHERE, IF THEY FEEL LIKE
03:21:45:00	03:21:48:00	THE CITY ISN'T RESPONDING,
03:21:48:00	03:21:49:00	THAT'S I'M NOT FEELING GOOD
03:21:49:00	03:21:50:00	ABOUT THE CITY AND I ALWAYS
03:21:50:00	03:21:52:00	TALK ABOUT HOW MY FIRST MAD
03:21:52:00	03:21:53:00	THING I DID AS AN ELECTED
03:21:53:00	03:21:55:00	OFFICIAL WAS GETTING A TRASH
03:21:55:00	03:21:56:00	CAN ON WALL STREET IN ROXBURY
03:21:56:00	03:21:59:00	BECAUSE IT WAS A STRETCH OF THE
03:21:59:00	03:22:00:00	AND OTHER PLACES AS WELL BUT IT
03:22:00:00	03:22:01:00	WAS A STRETCH OF THE BLOCK THAT
03:22:01:00	03:22:03:00	REALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANY TRASH
03:22:03:00	03:22:04:00	CANS.
03:22:04:00	03:22:05:00	AND SO I WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS
03:22:05:00	03:22:07:00	FOR YOUR CONTINUED WORK ON
03:22:07:00	03:22:07:00	CONTAINERIZATION.
03:22:07:00	03:22:08:00	I KNOW THAT IT'S ALSO SOMETHING
03:22:08:00	03:22:11:00	THAT YOUR PREDECESSOR WORKED ON
03:22:11:00	03:22:11:00	A LOT AND I THINK IT'S AN
03:22:11:00	03:22:12:00	INCREDIBLE CHALLENGE IN OUR
03:22:12:00	03:22:14:00	DENSELY POPULATED NEIGHBORHOODS
03:22:14:00	03:22:15:00	WHERE THEY'RE LIKE YOU SAID,
03:22:15:00	03:22:16:00	WHERE THERE'S NOT A LOT
03:22:16:00	03:22:19:00	OF SPACE FOR URBAN BUT I THINK
03:22:19:00	03:22:19:00	THERE'S A LOT OF CREATIVITY.
03:22:19:00	03:22:20:00	I KNOW THAT WE'VE ALSO TALKED
03:22:20:00	03:22:22:00	ABOUT THE ARTICLE 80 PROCESS
03:22:22:00	03:22:22:00	WITH NEW BUILDINGS.
03:22:22:00	03:22:26:00	WHAT COULD IT LOOK LIKE TO
03:22:26:00	03:22:26:00	REQUIRE AN ALTERNATIVE FORM
03:22:26:00	03:22:31:00	OF CONTAINERIZATION TO HAVE IT
03:22:31:00	03:22:31:00	SORT OF BUILT INTO THE MODEL?
03:22:31:00	03:22:34:00	I KNOW WE USED TO HAVE CHUTES
03:22:34:00	03:22:35:00	BACK IN THE DAY AND THOSE SORT
03:22:35:00	03:22:35:00	OF FELL OUT OF STYLE BUT
03:22:35:00	03:22:36:00	LOOKING AT THE ROLE
03:22:36:00	03:22:39:00	OF POTENTIAL CHUTES IN HELPING
03:22:39:00	03:22:42:00	US TO ADDRESS THE WASTE AND AND
03:22:42:00	03:22:46:00	TRASH ISSUES RATS NEED FOOD AND
03:22:46:00	03:22:46:00	SHELTER AND WATER JUST
03:22:46:00	03:22:50:00	PROVIDING WE PROVIDE THEM A LOT
03:22:50:00	03:22:50:00	OF THAT WITH OUR TRASH.
03:22:50:00	03:22:51:00	AND SO I WANT TO AGREE I THINK
03:22:51:00	03:22:54:00	IT'S REALLY THE GREAT WORK THAT
03:22:54:00	03:22:55:00	WE DID IN THE BUDGET TO ADD
03:22:55:00	03:22:57:00	MORE MONEY THAT GOES TOWARDS
03:22:57:00	03:22:58:00	MORE PERSONNEL ADDRESSING THE
03:22:58:00	03:23:01:00	ISSUE AND ALSO TOWARDS MORE
03:23:01:00	03:23:02:00	OF THOSE RODENT RESISTANT TRASH
03:23:02:00	03:23:02:00	CANS.
03:23:02:00	03:23:03:00	I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
03:23:03:00	03:23:05:00	WORK.
03:23:05:00	03:23:06:00	BUT YOU KNOW THIS WE CAN NEVER
03:23:06:00	03:23:06:00	HAVE ENOUGH OF THIS
03:23:06:00	03:23:09:00	CONVERSATION BECAUSE RESIDENTS
03:23:09:00	03:23:09:00	NEED TO KNOW THAT WE CARE ABOUT
03:23:09:00	03:23:10:00	THESE EVERYDAY ISSUES, THAT
03:23:10:00	03:23:12:00	WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN
03:23:12:00	03:23:13:00	TO ADDRESS THEM EVEN AS A BIG
03:23:13:00	03:23:13:00	CITY AND THE CHALLENGES THAT
03:23:13:00	03:23:17:00	PRESENT WITH THAT IS ANYONE

03:25:19:00	03:25:22:00	I BELIEVE ONE WAY WE CAN LESSEN
03:25:22:00	03:25:23:00	SOME OF THE BURDEN IS BY
03:25:23:00	03:25:26:00	OPENING UP AVAILABLE SPACES IN
03:25:26:00	03:25:26:00	OUR CITY BUILDINGS WHICH COULD
03:25:26:00	03:25:29:00	REDUCE THE RENT BURDEN.
03:25:29:00	03:25:30:00	THE CITY HAS MORE THAN 100
03:25:30:00	03:25:33:00	MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS AND MORE
03:25:33:00	03:25:33:00	THAN 100 SCHOOLS.
03:25:33:00	03:25:37:00	VERY FEW OF THEM CURRENTLY HOST
03:25:37:00	03:25:37:00	AN EARLY ANY ANY EARLY LEARNING
03:25:37:00	03:25:41:00	OR CHILD CARE CENTER SERVICES
03:25:41:00	03:25:41:00	WHILE OTHERS CONTAIN
03:25:41:00	03:25:45:00	SIGNIFICANT EMPTY SPACE MAKING
03:25:45:00	03:25:45:00	THIS AN UNTAPPED RESOURCE AND
03:25:45:00	03:25:49:00	AS WE EXPECT SOME SCHOOL
03:25:49:00	03:25:50:00	BUILDINGS TO BE TAKEN OFF LINE
03:25:50:00	03:25:53:00	BY VEEPS, THOSE BUILDINGS IN
03:25:53:00	03:25:53:00	THE INTERIM CAN BE USED AT
03:25:53:00	03:25:56:00	EARLY LEARNING EDUCATION
03:25:56:00	03:25:56:00	CENTERS.
03:25:56:00	03:26:00:00	I'LL ALSO ADD THAT THAT DURING
03:26:00:00	03:26:00:00	THE SUMMERTIME AND IT SEEMS
03:26:00:00	03:26:03:00	NEARLY EVERY DAY SOMEONE FROM
03:26:03:00	03:26:04:00	MY TEAM SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT
03:26:04:00	03:26:04:00	THE TODDLER IS AN INFANT
03:26:04:00	03:26:07:00	RUNNING AROUND AND PLAYING
03:26:07:00	03:26:08:00	OUTSIDE OF OUR OFFICES FROM THE
03:26:08:00	03:26:11:00	CHILDCARE FROM THE DAYCARE HERE
03:26:11:00	03:26:12:00	IN CITY HALL AND THE JOY THEY
03:26:12:00	03:26:15:00	BRING JUST WARMS UP ALL OF OUR
03:26:15:00	03:26:15:00	DAYS.
03:26:15:00	03:26:16:00	WE WANT TO FOSTER THAT VIBE IN
03:26:16:00	03:26:19:00	ALL OF OUR CITY BUILDINGS AND
03:26:19:00	03:26:20:00	AS A CITY IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
03:26:20:00	03:26:22:00	WE CREATE SPACES OUR FAMILIES
03:26:22:00	03:26:26:00	NEED TO GROW HEALTHY AND HAPPY
03:26:26:00	03:26:26:00	CHILDREN AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE
03:26:26:00	03:26:27:00	THE MEANS AND THE ASSETS IN THE
03:26:27:00	03:26:30:00	BUILDINGS TO HELP JUST DO THAT.
03:26:30:00	03:26:31:00	SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO
03:26:31:00	03:26:31:00	HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS TO
03:26:31:00	03:26:34:00	IDENTIFY SPACES IN OUR
03:26:34:00	03:26:34:00	MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS TO HELP
03:26:34:00	03:26:38:00	CREATE A SPACE FOR EARLY
03:26:38:00	03:26:38:00	LEARNING CENTERS.
03:26:38:00	03:26:38:00	THANK YOU.
03:26:38:00	03:26:41:00	THANK YOU.
03:26:41:00	03:26:42:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
03:26:42:00	03:26:42:00	COUNCILOR MEJIA YOU HAVE THE
03:26:42:00	03:26:43:00	FLOOR.
03:26:43:00	03:26:45:00	MADAM PRESIDENT AND I WANT TO
03:26:45:00	03:26:48:00	THANK COUNCIL OVERALL FOR
03:26:48:00	03:26:49:00	ADDING ME AND WORKING ALONGSIDE
03:26:49:00	03:26:52:00	OUR OFFICE.
03:26:52:00	03:26:53:00	I REMEMBER AT THE LAST
03:26:53:00	03:26:54:00	COUNCIL MEETING I WAS LIKE HEY,
03:26:54:00	03:26:56:00	WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THIS.
03:26:56:00	03:26:57:00	AND YOU WERE LIKE OH, SO AM I
03:26:57:00	03:27:00:00	AND AND I BELIEVE THAT THAT'S
03:27:00:00	03:27:00:00	WHAT REAL PARTNERSHIP AND
03:27:00:00	03:27:01:00	COLLABORATION IS WHEN PEOPLE
03:27:01:00	03:27:03:00	ARE LOOKING AT A PARTICULAR
03:27:03:00	03:27:04:00	ISSUE FROM DIFFERENT LENSES AND
03:27:04:00	03:27:07:00	THEN WORKING TOGETHER TO FIGURE
03:27:07:00	03:27:08:00	OUT HOW WE TACKLE IT ON BOTH
03:27:08:00	03:27:08:00	ENDS.
03:27:08:00	03:27:11:00	SO I DON'T THINK COUNCIL AROUND
03:27:11:00	03:27:12:00	THIS ENTIRE TEAM FOR WORKING
03:27:12:00	03:27:15:00	ALONGSIDE OUR OFFICE TO DO
03:27:15:00	03:27:18:00	COLLECTIVE WORK TOGETHER SO
03:27:18:00	03:27:18:00	REALLY EXCITED TO JOIN YOU ON
03:27:18:00	03:27:22:00	THIS AND I ALSO JUST WANT TO
03:27:22:00	03:27:23:00	CALL ATTENTION THAT THESE
03:27:23:00	03:27:23:00	ISSUES CONTINUE TO BURDEN
03:27:23:00	03:27:26:00	WORKING FAMILIES ACROSS OUR
03:27:26:00	03:27:26:00	CITY AND THE COST AND
03:27:26:00	03:27:30:00	ACCESSIBILITY OF CHILD CARE IS
03:27:30:00	03:27:31:00	DEFINITELY ONE OF THE NUMBER
03:27:31:00	03:27:32:00	ONE ISSUE THAT WE ALSO HEAR
03:27:32:00	03:27:34:00	FROM FAMILIES.
03:27:34:00	03:27:35:00	CHILD CARE COSTS ARE PUSHING
03:27:35:00	03:27:37:00	FAMILIES OUT OF THE WORKFORCE
03:27:37:00	03:27:41:00	AND OUT OF THE CITY.
03:27:41:00	03:27:42:00	AS YOU HEARD ACROSS BOSTON
03:27:42:00	03:27:43:00	THERE ARE OVER 100 MULTIPLE
03:27:43:00	03:27:45:00	BUILDINGS, MANY OF WHICH ARE
03:27:45:00	03:27:45:00	NOT BEING USED OR HAVE THE
03:27:45:00	03:27:48:00	POTENTIAL TO BE RENOVATED AND
03:27:48:00	03:27:49:00	REPURPOSED.
03:27:49:00	03:27:50:00	I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE A MOMENT
03:27:50:00	03:27:52:00	HERE IN THE CITY OF BOSTON TO
03:27:52:00	03:27:53:00	THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX AND BE
03:27:53:00	03:27:56:00	CREATIVE IN TERMS OF HOW WE'RE
03:27:56:00	03:27:56:00	UTILIZING OUR SPACE AND SO WE
03:27:56:00	03:27:59:00	SHOULD DO JUST THAT.
03:27:59:00	03:28:00:00	I LOOK FORWARD TO LEARNING A
03:28:00:00	03:28:03:00	LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW WE
03:28:03:00	03:28:04:00	CAN USE PUBLIC BUILDINGS TO
03:28:04:00	03:28:07:00	CREATE MORE CHILD CARE OPTIONS
03:28:07:00	03:28:07:00	, LOWER COSTS FOR PROVIDERS AND
03:28:07:00	03:28:08:00	BETTER SERVE OUR FAMILIES AND I
03:28:08:00	03:28:11:00	THINK OUTSIDE OF THE MUNICIPAL
03:28:11:00	03:28:13:00	BUILDING I THINK ALSO ONE WORD
03:28:13:00	03:28:17:00	DEVELOPING REAL ESTATE HERE IN
03:28:17:00	03:28:18:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON I'D LOVE TO
03:28:18:00	03:28:21:00	SEE AND I KNOW CASIMIRO HAS
03:28:21:00	03:28:22:00	TALKED ABOUT THIS IN THE PAST
03:28:22:00	03:28:24:00	MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO LOOK AND
03:28:24:00	03:28:25:00	THINK CREATIVELY ABOUT HOW WE
03:28:25:00	03:28:28:00	CAN UTILIZE HOUSING IN CHILD
03:28:28:00	03:28:29:00	CARE CENTERS ALL IN ONE PLACE.
03:28:29:00	03:28:32:00	SO I THINK THAT CREATING SPACE
03:28:32:00	03:28:32:00	FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY IS A
03:28:32:00	03:28:35:00	REALLY GREAT STRATEGY AND I
03:28:35:00	03:28:39:00	JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT PER THE
03:28:39:00	03:28:40:00	OFFICE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD
03:28:40:00	03:28:43:00	REPORT OF 2021 THE CHILD CARE
03:28:43:00	03:28:46:00	CENSUS SURVEY AND BOSTON'S THEY
03:28:46:00	03:28:47:00	SAYS THAT THE AVERAGE CHILD
03:28:47:00	03:28:49:00	CARE CENTER COSTS ARE EVEN
03:28:49:00	03:28:50:00	HIGHER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE
03:28:50:00	03:28:54:00	WHICH ALREADY FOCUSES FORCES
03:28:54:00	03:28:58:00	MASSACHUSETTS FAMILY TO PAY THE
03:28:58:00	03:28:58:00	SECOND HIGHEST AVERAGE MONTHLY
03:28:58:00	03:29:01:00	COST FOR CENTER BASED CHILD
03:29:01:00	03:29:05:00	CARE THAN ANY OTHER STATE AND
03:29:05:00	03:29:06:00	THIS IS A ISSUE THAT I AM ALSO
03:29:06:00	03:29:10:00	PERSONALLY COMMITTED TO.
03:29:10:00	03:29:13:00	MY DAUGHTER WENT TO A CHILD
03:29:13:00	03:29:14:00	CARE CENTER HERE IN THE CITY
03:29:14:00	03:29:17:00	OF BOSTON AND IT PROVIDED HER A
03:29:17:00	03:29:21:00	SOLID FOUNDATION TO HIT THE
03:29:21:00	03:29:21:00	GROUND RUNNING WHEN SHE
03:29:21:00	03:29:21:00	ENTERED.
03:29:21:00	03:29:25:00	SO I THINK EVERYONE WINS WHEN
03:29:25:00	03:29:25:00	WE'RE INVESTING IN OUR EARLY
03:29:25:00	03:29:25:00	CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS.
03:29:25:00	03:29:29:00	SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
03:29:29:00	03:29:29:00	HEARING AND WORKING ALONGSIDE
03:29:29:00	03:29:33:00	MY COLLEAGUES TO PROVIDE AS
03:29:33:00	03:29:33:00	MANY RESOURCES AS THEY NEED.
03:29:33:00	03:29:33:00	THANK YOU.
03:29:33:00	03:29:37:00	THANK YOU.
03:29:37:00	03:29:37:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
03:29:37:00	03:29:38:00	COUNCILOR BREADON TIMES ARE

03:29:44:00	03:29:44:00	INCLUDING ME ON THIS ORDER.
03:29:44:00	03:29:47:00	I WANT TO THANK COUNCILOR WELL
03:29:47:00	03:29:48:00	FOR HIS LEADERSHIP AND THE
03:29:48:00	03:29:51:00	WHOLE DISCUSSION ABOUT
03:29:51:00	03:29:52:00	RESOURCES FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
03:29:52:00	03:29:55:00	OR CHILDREN FROM CRADLE TO
03:29:55:00	03:29:55:00	CAREER.
03:29:55:00	03:29:56:00	I THINK IT'S REALLY VITALLY
03:29:56:00	03:29:59:00	IMPORTANT MANY, MANY OTHER
03:29:59:00	03:30:00:00	CITIES IN THE WORLD IN NORTH
03:30:00:00	03:30:02:00	AMERICA, NOT IN THE UNITED
03:30:02:00	03:30:02:00	STATES NECESSARILY BUT TORONTO
03:30:02:00	03:30:05:00	AND VANCOUVER ARE LEADERS IN
03:30:05:00	03:30:06:00	THE SPACE OF THINKING ABOUT
03:30:06:00	03:30:10:00	URBAN DESIGN THAT'S FOCUSED ON
03:30:10:00	03:30:10:00	THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN AND
03:30:10:00	03:30:10:00	FAMILIES.
03:30:10:00	03:30:13:00	AND I THINK WE'VE GOT CATCHING
03:30:13:00	03:30:16:00	UP TO DO VERY OFTEN OUR
03:30:16:00	03:30:17:00	DEVELOPMENT IN OUR CITY IS
03:30:17:00	03:30:20:00	FOCUSED MUCH MORE ON SINGLE
03:30:20:00	03:30:21:00	SINGLE FOLKS, ELDERS, YOUNG
03:30:21:00	03:30:24:00	PEOPLE WHO ARE SINGLE AND EVEN
03:30:24:00	03:30:28:00	THINKING ABOUT THE DESIGN
03:30:28:00	03:30:28:00	OF BUILDINGS THAT WOULD
03:30:28:00	03:30:31:00	ACCOMMODATE FAMILIES AS IS SO
03:30:31:00	03:30:32:00	SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT.
03:30:32:00	03:30:35:00	I THINK WE HAVE MANY RESOURCES
03:30:35:00	03:30:36:00	IN OUR SCHOOL CITY AND
03:30:36:00	03:30:37:00	MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS THAT ARE
03:30:37:00	03:30:40:00	MAYBE UNDERUTILIZED OR ARE
03:30:40:00	03:30:41:00	GOING TO BE SORT OF MOTHBALLED
03:30:41:00	03:30:41:00	IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
03:30:41:00	03:30:44:00	AH AND INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY
03:30:44:00	03:30:44:00	TO DEVELOP MORE SPACES FOR
03:30:44:00	03:30:47:00	EARLY LEARNING EDUCATION
03:30:47:00	03:30:48:00	CENTERS ACROSS THE CITY AND THE
03:30:48:00	03:30:52:00	VALUE OF THESE ARE THAT WE
03:30:52:00	03:30:52:00	INSTILL CURIOSITY, CURIOSITY
03:30:52:00	03:30:55:00	AND JOY OF LEARNING IN OUR
03:30:55:00	03:30:56:00	YOUNG PEOPLE AND PROVIDE THEM
03:30:56:00	03:30:59:00	WITH THE READINESS SKILLS SO
03:30:59:00	03:30:59:00	THAT WHEN THEY AS COUNTRYMEN HE
03:30:59:00	03:31:00:00	HAS ALREADY MENTIONED WITH HER
03:31:00:00	03:31:03:00	DAUGHTER THAT WHEN SHE WENT TO
03:31:03:00	03:31:06:00	GET INTO BEEPERS THAT SHE WAS
03:31:06:00	03:31:07:00	HIT THE GROUND RUNNING AND WAS
03:31:07:00	03:31:10:00	ABLE TO MAXIMIZE HER BENEFIT
03:31:10:00	03:31:11:00	FROM OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM SO
03:31:11:00	03:31:14:00	EARLY EARLY PREPAREDNESS, EARLY
03:31:14:00	03:31:14:00	EARLY INTRODUCTION AND EARLY
03:31:14:00	03:31:17:00	DEVELOPMENT AND EARLY LEARNING
03:31:17:00	03:31:18:00	CENTERS IS REALLY CRITICALLY
03:31:18:00	03:31:18:00	IMPORTANT.
03:31:18:00	03:31:21:00	SO I REALLY WELCOME THE
03:31:21:00	03:31:21:00	CONVERSATION.
03:31:21:00	03:31:22:00	I THINK IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO
03:31:22:00	03:31:25:00	BE REALLY CREATIVE AND THINK
03:31:25:00	03:31:25:00	OUTSIDE THE BOX A LITTLE ABOUT
03:31:25:00	03:31:28:00	HOW WE CAN INCREASE RESOURCES
03:31:28:00	03:31:29:00	TO HELP OUR CHILDREN BE MORE
03:31:29:00	03:31:32:00	SUCCESSFUL BUT ALSO HELP DEFRAY
03:31:32:00	03:31:33:00	SOME OF THE COSTS OF CHILDHOOD
03:31:33:00	03:31:37:00	CHILDCARE AND EARLY EDUCATION
03:31:37:00	03:31:37:00	FOR OUR FAMILIES.
03:31:37:00	03:31:37:00	SO THANK YOU.
03:31:37:00	03:31:42:00	LOOK FORWARD TO THE
03:31:42:00	03:31:42:00	CONVERSATION.
03:31:42:00	03:31:43:00	THINK YOU GUYS ARE GREAT IN THE
03:31:43:00	03:31:43:00	JARGON.
03:31:43:00	03:31:44:00	IT'S KIND OF FUNNY HOW THE
03:31:44:00	03:31:45:00	FLOOR THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND
03:31:45:00	03:31:48:00	IT'S AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.
03:31:48:00	03:31:49:00	I WAS RECENTLY AT THE CITY CITY
03:31:49:00	03:31:53:00	HALL CHILDCARE FACILITY WITH MY
03:31:53:00	03:31:56:00	PARENTS AND WITH MAYOR WILL.
03:31:56:00	03:31:57:00	MAYOR WILL HAD A POLICY
03:31:57:00	03:32:00:00	ESTABLISHED IN THE LEVEL
03:32:00:00	03:32:02:00	OF FUNDING NOT GOING IN AN
03:32:02:00	03:32:05:00	EXECUTIVE ORDER WHERE
03:32:05:00	03:32:06:00	DEVELOPERS WOULD PAY TOWARDS
03:32:06:00	03:32:10:00	CHILDCARE SERVICES WHEN
03:32:10:00	03:32:11:00	BUILDING DOWNTOWNS AND IT'S AN
03:32:11:00	03:32:13:00	IMPORTANT ORDER.
03:32:13:00	03:32:14:00	IT BUILDS ON A POLICY
03:32:14:00	03:32:17:00	SPEARHEADED THAT'S WHY I
03:32:17:00	03:32:17:00	MENTIONED MY PARENTS
03:32:17:00	03:32:18:00	SPEARHEADED BY FORMER BOSTON
03:32:18:00	03:32:21:00	MAYOR RAY FLYNN IN 1989.
03:32:21:00	03:32:24:00	THAT POLICY JUST WANTED TO LET
03:32:24:00	03:32:25:00	PEOPLE KNOW THAT POLICY
03:32:25:00	03:32:25:00	REQUIRED THAT ANY NEW
03:32:25:00	03:32:28:00	COMMERCIAL BUILDING IN ONE
03:32:28:00	03:32:29:00	OF 14 DOWNTOWN DISTRICTS EITHER

03:42:17:00	03:42:21:00	YOU KNOW, I THINK WE STARTED
03:42:21:00	03:42:21:00	OFF THE DAY TALKING ABOUT HOW
03:42:21:00	03:42:22:00	IMPORTANT SCHOOLS ARE IN OUR
03:42:22:00	03:42:24:00	CITY AND HOW CAN WE EXPECT OUR
03:42:24:00	03:42:25:00	KIDS TO LEARN IF THEY DON'T
03:42:25:00	03:42:28:00	HAVE FOOD.
03:42:28:00	03:42:32:00	I THINK WITH THIS THESE CUTS I
03:42:32:00	03:42:32:00	MEAN IT'S OBVIOUSLY INSIDIOUS
03:42:32:00	03:42:36:00	BUT THE DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS
03:42:36:00	03:42:37:00	EVEN WHERE WE'RE NOT SEEING
03:42:37:00	03:42:41:00	DECREASES IN, YOU KNOW, MONEY.
03:42:41:00	03:42:45:00	IT WILL FORCE THE STATE TO CUT
03:42:45:00	03:42:48:00	ESSENTIAL SERVICES BY UPPING
03:42:48:00	03:42:49:00	THE STATE REQUIREMENTS FOR
03:42:49:00	03:42:52:00	REIMBURSEMENTS I THINK FROM
03:42:52:00	03:42:52:00	LIKE 50% TO 75%.
03:42:52:00	03:42:55:00	IT INCREASES WORK REQUIREMENTS.
03:42:55:00	03:42:56:00	IT WILL KICK A LOT OF PEOPLE
03:42:56:00	03:42:59:00	OFF IT MAKE PEOPLE INELIGIBLE
03:42:59:00	03:43:02:00	UNLESS THEY CAN WORK 20 HOURS A
03:43:02:00	03:43:02:00	WEEK.
03:43:02:00	03:43:06:00	NOW BEFORE THIS ANYONE 54 AND
03:43:06:00	03:43:07:00	UNDER HAD TO MEET THE WORK
03:43:07:00	03:43:09:00	REQUIREMENT.
03:43:09:00	03:43:12:00	NOW THAT IS BEING RAISED TO 64
03:43:12:00	03:43:16:00	AND UNDER IT KICKS IT REQUIRES
03:43:16:00	03:43:17:00	MANY VETERANS WERE EXEMPT FROM
03:43:17:00	03:43:18:00	THE WORK REQUIREMENTS IT'S NOW
03:43:18:00	03:43:21:00	REQUIRING VETERANS TO WORK

03:43:22:00	03:43:25:00	PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES WHO
03:43:25:00	03:43:25:00	ARE REQUIRED TO WORK.
03:43:25:00	03:43:26:00	IT ALSO KICKS OFF A LOT
03:43:26:00	03:43:28:00	OF PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR
03:43:28:00	03:43:29:00	IMMIGRATION STATUS KICK OFF

03:43:32:00	03:43:33:00	OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND HUMAN
03:43:33:00	03:43:36:00	TRAFFICKING.
03:43:36:00	03:43:37:00	AND IT WOULD ALSO CUT UTILITY
03:43:37:00	03:43:40:00	ALLOWANCES WHICH PEOPLE GET
03:43:40:00	03:43:43:00	THROUGH SNAP AND AND ALSO LIMIT
03:43:43:00	03:43:43:00	INCREASES IN THE FUTURE.

03:55:40:00	03:55:43:00	PERMANENTLY CLOSING A PHARMACY
03:55:43:00	03:55:46:00	SO MANY OF US LIVE IN REPRESENT
03:55:46:00	03:55:47:00	COMMUNITIES WHERE PHARMACIES
03:55:47:00	03:55:47:00	HAVE CLOSED.
03:55:47:00	03:55:51:00	THIS HAS BEEN AS A ESPECIALLY
03:55:51:00	03:55:54:00	DIFFICULT ISSUE FOR NEIGHBORS

03:56:06:00	03:56:09:00	THEIR PRESCRIPTIONS IN TIME.
03:56:09:00	03:56:10:00	AND SO THEY'RE OFTEN LEFT IN
03:56:10:00	03:56:11:00	THE DUST UNDER THE CURRENT
03:56:11:00	03:56:14:00	REGULATION, PHARMACIES NEED
03:56:14:00	03:56:15:00	ONLY PROVIDE 14 DAYS NOTICE A
03:56:15:00	03:56:18:00	TIME FRAME THAT IS JUST TOO
03:56:18:00	03:56:18:00	SHORT.
03:56:18:00	03:56:19:00	RESIDENTS AND ADVOCATES HAVE
03:56:19:00	03:56:22:00	CONSISTENTLY TOLD ME THAT TO
03:56:22:00	03:56:22:00	ENSURE CONTINUITY OF CARE FOR
03:56:22:00	03:56:23:00	PATIENTS WHO RELY ON ACCESS TO
03:56:23:00	03:56:26:00	MEDICATION ESPECIALLY IN
03:56:26:00	03:56:26:00	COMMUNITIES ALREADY FACING
03:56:26:00	03:56:29:00	BARRIERS TO HEALTH CARE THIS
03:56:29:00	03:56:30:00	WOULD HAVE A HUGE IMPACT.
03:56:30:00	03:56:30:00	SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MY
03:56:30:00	03:56:31:00	OFFICE HAS BEEN WORKING ON FOR
03:56:31:00	03:56:34:00	A VERY LONG TIME WITH DANIELLE
03:56:34:00	03:56:37:00	WILLIAMS I WANT TO THANK AND

03:56:38:00	03:56:40:00	THIS IS BOSTON FOR THEIR
03:56:40:00	03:56:41:00	ADVOCACY AND HELP CREATE
03:56:41:00	03:56:44:00	CRAFTING THIS PETITION BECAUSE
03:56:44:00	03:56:45:00	WE AT THE BEGINNING WERE
03:56:45:00	03:56:45:00	THINKING ABOUT DOING WHAT IS
03:56:45:00	03:56:49:00	THE BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT THIS
03:56:49:00	03:56:50:00	IS TO BE A HOME RULE PETITION.
03:56:50:00	03:56:52:00	IS IT VIA SOME SORT
03:56:52:00	03:56:52:00	OF ORDINANCE?
03:56:52:00	03:56:53:00	WOULD THAT HAVE TEETH?
03:56:53:00	03:56:54:00	AND THEN WE DECIDED THE BEST
03:56:54:00	03:56:56:00	THING IS ACTUALLY PETITION THE
03:56:56:00	03:56:56:00	REGULATORY BODY THAT CONTROLS
03:56:56:00	03:57:00:00	THE NOTICES.
03:57:00:00	03:57:00:00	THIS PETITION WOULD BRING
03:57:00:00	03:57:04:00	PHARMACY CLOSURE PRACTICES MORE
03:57:04:00	03:57:04:00	IN LINE WITH THOSE REQUIRED

03:57:05:00	03:57:05:00	INSTITUTIONS LIKE HOSPITALS AND
03:57:05:00	03:57:08:00	NURSING HOMES.
03:57:08:00	03:57:09:00	AND WE SAW EVEN WITH STEWARD
03:57:09:00	03:57:09:00	HEALTH CARE THERE ARE PROBLEMS
03:57:09:00	03:57:12:00	WITH THAT BUT STILL 120 DAYS
03:57:12:00	03:57:12:00	NOTICE EVEN THOUGH NOT ENOUGH
03:57:12:00	03:57:15:00	IS STILL A MODEST AND
03:57:15:00	03:57:16:00	COMMONSENSE UPDATE TO THE
03:57:16:00	03:57:16:00	REGULATIONS THAT REFLECT THE
03:57:16:00	03:57:19:00	CENTRAL PHARMACISTS PLAY IN OUR
03:57:19:00	03:57:22:00	PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE.
03:57:22:00	03:57:23:00	TO THIS ORDER WE ASK THE BOARD
03:57:23:00	03:57:24:00	TO INITIATE A FORMAL RULEMAKING
03:57:24:00	03:57:26:00	PROCESS AND CONSIDER THE

03:57:27:00	03:57:29:00	RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT
03:57:29:00	03:57:30:00	PATIENT ACCESS AND PUBLIC
03:57:30:00	03:57:33:00	HEALTH.
03:57:33:00	03:57:33:00	WITH SOME OF THE CLOSURES THAT
03:57:33:00	03:57:37:00	WE SAW IN ROXBURY, YOU KNOW,
03:57:37:00	03:57:38:00	THERE WERE SOME SOME
03:57:38:00	03:57:39:00	INITIATIVES THAT HELPED WITH
03:57:39:00	03:57:41:00	THE CLOSURES LIKE PROVIDING
03:57:41:00	03:57:42:00	UBER RIDES TO OTHER PHARMACIES.
03:57:42:00	03:57:45:00	BUT WE KNOW THAT A BETTER
03:57:45:00	03:57:45:00	PROCESS OF ALLOWING MORE TIME
03:57:45:00	03:57:49:00	FOR RESIDENTS AND FOR CUSTOMERS
03:57:49:00	03:57:50:00	TO KNOW ABOUT A CLOSURE IS
03:57:50:00	03:57:54:00	ACTUALLY WHAT IS GOING TO BE
03:57:54:00	03:57:54:00	THE MOST HELPFUL.
03:57:54:00	03:57:57:00	WE HAD A HEARING ON THIS ISSUE
03:57:57:00	03:57:58:00	AND THERE WERE REPRESENTATIVES

03:58:09:00	03:58:09:00	THAT THEY'RE PLANNING TO CLOSE
03:58:09:00	03:58:12:00	A PHARMACY AND SO GETTING THIS

04:04:20:00	04:04:24:00	HEART OF OUR CITY.
04:04:24:00	04:04:24:00	UNFORTUNATELY, TUFTS UNIVERSITY
04:04:24:00	04:04:25:00	HAS REFUSED TO COME TO THE
04:04:25:00	04:04:28:00	BARGAINING TABLE IN GOOD FAITH
04:04:28:00	04:04:29:00	TO ADDRESS FACULTY REQUESTS

04:04:36:00	04:04:39:00	THESE FACULTY ARE OVERBURDENED
04:04:39:00	04:04:40:00	.
04:04:40:00	04:04:40:00	WHILE STUDENT ENROLLMENT HAS
04:04:40:00	04:04:41:00	NEARLY TRIPLED, THE UNIVERSITY
04:04:41:00	04:04:44:00	HAS ALLOWED ALMOST ONE THIRD
04:04:44:00	04:04:45:00	OF THE MFA FACULTY POSITIONS TO
04:04:45:00	04:04:48:00	GO ON FILLED.
04:04:48:00	04:04:49:00	AND REALLY IF WE'RE HONEST, TEN
04:04:49:00	04:04:52:00	FACULTY MEMBERS LEFT BECAUSE
04:04:52:00	04:04:52:00	OF THE WAY THEY WERE BEING
04:04:52:00	04:04:52:00	TREATED.
04:04:52:00	04:04:53:00	THEY AREN'T GIVEN ARTISTS
04:04:53:00	04:04:56:00	STUDIO OR A WORKPLACE TO DO
04:04:56:00	04:04:57:00	THEIR ART.
04:04:57:00	04:05:00:00	WHEN TUFTS ACQUIRED US MFA A
04:05:00:00	04:05:00:00	COMMUNITY OF INDEPENDENT
04:05:00:00	04:05:01:00	ARTISTS THEY PROMISED
04:05:01:00	04:05:04:00	INTEGRATION AND SUPPORT.
04:05:04:00	04:05:04:00	INSTEAD, MANY OF THESE FACULTY
04:05:04:00	04:05:08:00	OR MEMBERS HAVE SERVED ON A
04:05:08:00	04:05:08:00	SIMILAR TRACK AND SIMILAR TIME
04:05:08:00	04:05:11:00	TO TENURED PROFESSORS AT THE
04:05:11:00	04:05:12:00	MAIN CAMPUS BUT WITHOUT ANY
04:05:12:00	04:05:15:00	OF THE CORRESPONDING BENEFITS
04:05:15:00	04:05:15:00	OR PROTECTIONS.
04:05:15:00	04:05:19:00	AND NOT ONLY DO THEY NOT HAVE
04:05:19:00	04:05:19:00	THESE PROTECTIONS, THEY ARE
04:05:19:00	04:05:22:00	ACTUALLY TRYING TO REPLACE
04:05:22:00	04:05:26:00	FOLKS AND THESE PROFESSORS WITH
04:05:26:00	04:05:26:00	TENURED TRACK PROFESSORS WHEN
04:05:26:00	04:05:30:00	MANY OF THESE PROFESSORS HAVE
04:05:30:00	04:05:31:00	SERVED OVER 20 YEARS.
04:05:31:00	04:05:34:00	IT HONESTLY I MET WITH THEM.
04:05:34:00	04:05:35:00	IT MADE ME REALLY UPSET.
04:05:35:00	04:05:38:00	THIS WASN'T THEIR IDEA.
04:05:38:00	04:05:38:00	IT WAS MINE.
04:05:38:00	04:05:39:00	THIS IS INCREDIBLY HARMFUL FOR
04:05:39:00	04:05:42:00	INTERNATIONAL FACULTY AND
04:05:42:00	04:05:43:00	FACULTY OF COLOR TO HAVE
04:05:43:00	04:05:46:00	EXEMPLIFIED THE REASON DELAYS
04:05:46:00	04:05:47:00	RECENT DELAYS IN VISA
04:05:47:00	04:05:50:00	PROCESSING HAVE LEFT THEM IN
04:05:50:00	04:05:50:00	PRECARIOUS POSITIONS.
04:05:50:00	04:05:54:00	THEY ARE PART OF TUFTS BUT THEY
04:05:54:00	04:05:54:00	DON'T GET THE BENEFITS OF BEING
04:05:54:00	04:05:55:00	PART OF TUFTS.
04:05:55:00	04:05:58:00	NOT ONLY ARE THESE ARTISTS NOT
04:05:58:00	04:06:01:00	GETTING THE DUE THEIR DESERVED
04:06:01:00	04:06:01:00	FACULTY ARE LEAVING AND MORE
04:06:01:00	04:06:05:00	AND MORE OF THEIR WORK AND MORE
04:06:05:00	04:06:05:00	PRESSURE.
04:06:05:00	04:06:06:00	I MEAN HOW CAN YOU IMAGINE
04:06:06:00	04:06:07:00	BEING AN ARTIST AND TRYING TO
04:06:07:00	04:06:09:00	PRODUCE QUALITY ART WHILE ALSO
04:06:09:00	04:06:12:00	BEING OVERBURDENED?
04:06:12:00	04:06:13:00	ART IS ONE OF THE ONLY THINGS
04:06:13:00	04:06:17:00	THAT WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE WILL
04:06:17:00	04:06:18:00	NEVER BE ABLE TO REPLACE ART.
04:06:18:00	04:06:18:00	ART IS SPECIAL.
04:06:18:00	04:06:21:00	ART IS CULTURAL.
04:06:21:00	04:06:21:00	AND I WANT THESE PROFESSORS TO
04:06:21:00	04:06:24:00	BE ABLE TO PRODUCE GOOD ART TO
04:06:24:00	04:06:25:00	HAVE GREAT RELATIONSHIPS WITH
04:06:25:00	04:06:28:00	THEIR STUDENTS.
04:06:28:00	04:06:28:00	TUFTS ACQUIRED THIS AND THIS
04:06:28:00	04:06:31:00	WAS LIKE A NITTY GRITTY COMMUNE
04:06:31:00	04:06:32:00	OF ARTIST AND THEY ARE TAKING
04:06:32:00	04:06:35:00	THIS ALL OUT OF THIS
04:06:35:00	04:06:36:00	INSTITUTION BY NOT HONORING
04:06:36:00	04:06:39:00	THESE WORKERS AT A TIME WHEN
04:06:39:00	04:06:39:00	INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER ED AND
04:06:39:00	04:06:40:00	THE ARTS ARE UNDER THREAT
04:06:40:00	04:06:43:00	NATIONWIDE, TUFTS HAS A
04:06:43:00	04:06:43:00	RESPONSIBILITY.
04:06:43:00	04:06:44:00	AND SO TODAY I'M ASKING YOU TO
04:06:44:00	04:06:47:00	STAND WITH THESE PROFESSORS.

04:10:52:00	04:10:55:00	THIS REPEAL.
04:10:55:00	04:10:56:00	IT REPRESENTS A DANGEROUS
04:10:56:00	04:10:59:00	ROLLBACK OF CLIMATE ACTION AND
04:10:59:00	04:11:00:00	A DISREGARD FOR ESTABLISHED
04:11:00:00	04:11:00:00	SCIENCE.
04:11:00:00	04:11:03:00	WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT THE TRUMP
04:11:03:00	04:11:04:00	ADMINISTRATION HAS ANNOUNCED
04:11:04:00	04:11:05:00	PLANS TO REPEAL THE
04:11:05:00	04:11:07:00	ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
04:11:07:00	04:11:07:00	AGENCY'S ENDANGERMENT FILING.
04:11:07:00	04:11:10:00	THIS IS A 2009 RULING UNDER THE
04:11:10:00	04:11:13:00	OBAMA ADMINISTRATION THAT WAS A
04:11:13:00	04:11:14:00	FOUNDATIONAL RULE RECOGNIZING
04:11:14:00	04:11:17:00	THAT GREENHOUSE GASES ARE A
04:11:17:00	04:11:18:00	THREAT TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND
04:11:18:00	04:11:20:00	WELFARE UNDER THE CLEAN AIR ACT
04:11:20:00	04:11:21:00	AT ITS MOST FOUNDATIONAL LEVEL
04:11:21:00	04:11:25:00	IT IS A RECOGNITION THAT
04:11:25:00	04:11:26:00	CLIMATE CHANGE IN A WARMING
04:11:26:00	04:11:27:00	CLIMATE IS DUE TO A HUMAN MADE
04:11:27:00	04:11:30:00	PROBLEM OF OF INCREASED CO2 IN
04:11:30:00	04:11:33:00	OUR ATMOSPHERE.
04:11:33:00	04:11:33:00	THIS PARTICULAR ROLLBACK
04:11:33:00	04:11:37:00	OF THIS RULING IS A
04:11:37:00	04:11:37:00	CAPITULATION AND PRIORITIZATION
04:11:37:00	04:11:40:00	OF THE CONVENIENCE
04:11:40:00	04:11:41:00	OF BILLIONAIRE OIL COMPANIES
04:11:41:00	04:11:41:00	AND POLLUTERS OVER THE SAFETY
04:11:41:00	04:11:45:00	AND WELL-BEING OF THE AMERICAN
04:11:45:00	04:11:45:00	PEOPLE.
04:11:45:00	04:11:46:00	THIS RECKLESS MOVE WOULD STRIP
04:11:46:00	04:11:48:00	THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF ITS
04:11:48:00	04:11:49:00	PRIMARY LEGAL AUTHORITY TO
04:11:49:00	04:11:49:00	LIMIT AND REGULATE CLIMATE
04:11:49:00	04:11:52:00	POLLUTION FROM VEHICLES, POWER
04:11:52:00	04:11:53:00	PLANTS AND INDUSTRIES
04:11:53:00	04:11:53:00	THREATENING DECADES
04:11:53:00	04:11:56:00	OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRESS.
04:11:56:00	04:12:00:00	THIS IS USUALLY A BIPARTISAN
04:12:00:00	04:12:00:00	ISSUE AND THIS REPEAL ABANDONS
04:12:00:00	04:12:00:00	THAT.
04:12:00:00	04:12:04:00	IT ABANDONS THE LEGACY
04:12:04:00	04:12:04:00	OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS
04:12:04:00	04:12:05:00	AND DIRECTLY UNDERMINES THE
04:12:05:00	04:12:07:00	CIVIL RIGHTS OF FRONT LINE
04:12:07:00	04:12:08:00	COMMUNITIES LIKE THOSE HERE IN
04:12:08:00	04:12:11:00	BOSTON, EAST BOSTON,

04:12:16:00	04:12:17:00	AIR AND WATER.
04:12:17:00	04:12:19:00	SO DISMANTLING THE EPA'S
04:12:19:00	04:12:20:00	AUTHORITY SERVES NO PURPOSE
04:12:20:00	04:12:23:00	OTHER THAN TO APPEASE POLLUTERS
04:12:23:00	04:12:24:00	AT THE EXPENSE OF THE PUBLIC

04:12:27:00	04:12:27:00	RESILIENCE OF THIS NATION.

04:13:13:00	04:13:17:00	EARLIER IN TODAY'S MEETING I
04:13:17:00	04:13:18:00	INTRODUCED A HEARING ORDER TO

04:13:21:00	04:13:21:00	ASSISTANCE.
04:13:21:00	04:13:24:00	ANOTHER DIRECT ATTACK ON OUR
04:13:24:00	04:13:25:00	MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.
04:13:25:00	04:13:27:00	THESE TWO ACTIONS ARE LINKED
04:13:27:00	04:13:28:00	DISMANTLING CLIMATE PROTECTIONS
04:13:28:00	04:13:31:00	AND SLASHING ESSENTIAL SERVICES
04:13:31:00	04:13:31:00	BOTH JEOPARDIZES THE HEALTH AND
04:13:31:00	04:13:35:00	WELL-BEING OF OUR RESIDENTS.
04:13:35:00	04:13:36:00	I HAVE LONG FOUGHT TO PROTECT
04:13:36:00	04:13:36:00	OUR PARKS AND GREEN SPACES
04:13:36:00	04:13:39:00	BECAUSE EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE
04:13:39:00	04:13:40:00	ACCESS TO A CLEAN AND HEALTHY
04:13:40:00	04:13:40:00	ENVIRONMENT.
04:13:40:00	04:13:43:00	THAT WORK HAS NEVER BEEN EASY
04:13:43:00	04:13:43:00	AND THIS ENDANGERMENT FINDING
04:13:43:00	04:13:46:00	REPRESENTS A HARD WON VICTORY
04:13:46:00	04:13:47:00	FOUGHT FOR BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL
04:13:47:00	04:13:47:00	MOVEMENT FOR DECADES.
04:13:47:00	04:13:51:00	ROLLING IT BACK WOULD BE A
04:13:51:00	04:13:51:00	RADICAL STEP IN THE WRONG
04:13:51:00	04:13:54:00	DIRECTION AND BLOW A BLOW TO
04:13:54:00	04:13:54:00	CLIMATE JUSTICE NATIONWIDE.

04:14:31:00	04:14:32:00	GETTING RID OF THE ENDANGERMENT

04:14:35:00	04:14:39:00	OF ITS ABILITY TO FIGHT CLIMATE
04:14:39:00	04:14:39:00	CHANGE IS JUST IT'S INSANITY

04:14:46:00	04:14:50:00	ATMOSPHERE JUST GOES UP AND
04:14:50:00	04:14:50:00	THERE'S THE FACT THAT THEY'RE

04:18:11:00	04:18:12:00	BOSTON COMMON WHAT I HAVE SAID
04:18:12:00	04:18:15:00	FOR YEARS ON MASS AND CHAOS.
04:18:15:00	04:18:16:00	WE NEED ZERO TOLERANCE WHEN IT
04:18:16:00	04:18:19:00	COMES TO MAKING ARRESTS FOR

04:18:35:00	04:18:36:00	APPROPRIATE TO FOCUS ON A
04:18:36:00	04:18:38:00	TREATMENT FIRST APPROACH.
04:18:38:00	04:18:39:00	THE CITY CONTINUES TO REFERENCE
04:18:39:00	04:18:42:00	THE HOMELESS CRISIS BUT WE

04:18:48:00	04:18:49:00	ENABLE THOSE WITH ADDICTION
04:18:49:00	04:18:49:00	ISSUES TO CONTINUE HARMING
04:18:49:00	04:18:52:00	THEMSELVES.

04:18:53:00	04:18:56:00	HAVE APARTMENTS OR HOUSES.
04:18:56:00	04:18:57:00	WHAT THEY DON'T HAVE IS DETOX.
04:18:57:00	04:19:00:00	THEY NEED A DETOX BED.
04:19:00:00	04:19:03:00	THEY NEED A PATH TO

04:19:12:00	04:19:15:00	PRIORITY IN THE CITY OF BOSTON
04:19:15:00	04:19:15:00	.
04:19:15:00	04:19:16:00	IT'S ALSO CRITICAL THAT THESE
04:19:16:00	04:19:19:00	SERVICE SERVICES BE CENTRALIZED
04:19:19:00	04:19:20:00	AND SPREAD OUT TO OTHER

04:19:27:00	04:19:28:00	THEY NEED TO BE SPREAD OUT.
04:19:28:00	04:19:30:00	IT'S A STATEWIDE PROBLEM.
04:19:30:00	04:19:31:00	IT'S A NATIONAL PROBLEM.
04:19:31:00	04:19:34:00	THIS IS A THIS IS AN ISSUE I'VE

04:19:57:00	04:19:57:00	LEADERSHIP.
04:19:57:00	04:19:58:00	THE CITY COUNCIL HAS NOT
04:19:58:00	04:19:58:00	PROVIDED THAT LEADERSHIP.

04:20:04:00	04:20:05:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
04:20:05:00	04:20:08:00	THIS IS A COMPLEX CHALLENGE AND
04:20:08:00	04:20:08:00	ADDRESSING ISSUES LIKE
04:20:08:00	04:20:09:00	ADDICTION AND HOMELESSNESS
04:20:09:00	04:20:11:00	REQUIRES SUSTAINED COORDINATION
04:20:11:00	04:20:12:00	AND SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENT TO
04:20:12:00	04:20:13:00	SUPPORT THOSE THAT ARE
04:20:13:00	04:20:15:00	STRUGGLING ALONG WITH CAREFUL
04:20:15:00	04:20:16:00	ATTENTION TO THE IMPACT ON THE
04:20:16:00	04:20:16:00	SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.
04:20:16:00	04:20:20:00	WHILE THE CITY HAS TAKEN STEPS
04:20:20:00	04:20:20:00	TO RESPOND, IT'S CLEAR THAT
04:20:20:00	04:20:23:00	CONTINUED AND EXPANDED EFFORTS
04:20:23:00	04:20:23:00	ARE NEEDED.
04:20:23:00	04:20:24:00	HOWEVER, I DON'T BELIEVE THIS
04:20:24:00	04:20:27:00	RESOLUTION REPRESENTS THE RIGHT
04:20:27:00	04:20:28:00	STEP FORWARD.
04:20:28:00	04:20:30:00	FOR STARTERS, WHAT FUNDING
04:20:30:00	04:20:31:00	WOULD AN EMERGENCY DECLARATION
04:20:31:00	04:20:31:00	PROVIDE?
04:20:31:00	04:20:31:00	NONE.
04:20:31:00	04:20:35:00	ALL IT WOULD DO IS WAIVE PUBLIC
04:20:35:00	04:20:35:00	PROCESS.
04:20:35:00	04:20:38:00	UNDER THE PUBLIC HEALTH ACT
04:20:38:00	04:20:39:00	OF 1995, THE PUBLIC HEALTH
04:20:39:00	04:20:43:00	COMMISSION HAS THE AUTHORITY TO
04:20:43:00	04:20:43:00	DECLARE A PUBLIC HEALTH
04:20:43:00	04:20:47:00	EMERGENCY NOT THE CITY COUNCIL.
04:20:47:00	04:20:47:00	DECLARING A PUBLIC HEALTH
04:20:47:00	04:20:48:00	EMERGENCY ALLOWS BOARDS
04:20:48:00	04:20:50:00	OF HEALTH TO TO DELEGATE THE
04:20:50:00	04:20:54:00	ISSUE TO EMERGENCY ORDER AND TO
04:20:54:00	04:20:55:00	ISSUE EMERGENCY ORDERS TO
04:20:55:00	04:20:58:00	PREVENT IMMINENT HARM TO A
04:20:58:00	04:20:58:00	GENERAL PUBLIC WITHOUT ENGAGING
04:20:58:00	04:20:59:00	IN THE USUAL PUBLIC PROCESS.
04:20:59:00	04:21:02:00	THE PHC HAS EXERCISED THIS
04:21:02:00	04:21:03:00	AUTHORITY IN THE PAST DECLARING
04:21:03:00	04:21:06:00	A PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY IN
04:21:06:00	04:21:08:00	2020 DURING THE COVID 19
04:21:08:00	04:21:09:00	PANDEMIC AND AGAIN IN 2021
04:21:09:00	04:21:10:00	REGARDING SUBSTANCE USE IN
04:21:10:00	04:21:13:00	UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS.
04:21:13:00	04:21:13:00	THESE DECLARATIONS TRIGGER
04:21:13:00	04:21:16:00	SPECIFIC EMERGENCY POWERS THAT
04:21:16:00	04:21:17:00	ARE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY
04:21:17:00	04:21:17:00	COUNCIL'S SCOPE OF LEGISLATIVE
04:21:17:00	04:21:17:00	PRIORITY.
04:21:17:00	04:21:21:00	WE'VE HAD THE SAME CONVERSATION
04:21:21:00	04:21:21:00	EXACTLY TWO YEARS AGO WHEN I
04:21:21:00	04:21:24:00	JOINED THE COUNCIL AND AT THAT
04:21:24:00	04:21:25:00	TIME FORMER COUNCILOR RICARDO
04:21:25:00	04:21:28:00	ARROYO BLOCKED A SIMILAR
04:21:28:00	04:21:29:00	RESOLUTION.
04:21:29:00	04:21:32:00	AND SO FOR THOSE SAME REASONS.
04:21:32:00	04:21:33:00	I WILL BE BLOCKING A VOTE TODAY
04:21:33:00	04:21:34:00	ON THIS SUBJECT MATTER.
04:21:34:00	04:21:38:00	OKAY.
04:21:38:00	04:21:42:00	YOU'RE OBJECTING TO THE
04:21:42:00	04:21:42:00	COUNCIL.
04:21:42:00	04:21:43:00	DURKAN IS OBJECTING TO THIS
04:21:43:00	04:21:46:00	SUSPENSION AND ADOPTION
04:21:46:00	04:21:51:00	THEREFORE THAT ENDS DISCUSSION
04:21:51:00	04:21:51:00	AND THIS DOCKET DOCKET NUMBER
04:21:51:00	04:21:52:00	ONE FOR FIVE SEVEN WILL BE
04:21:52:00	04:21:55:00	REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON
04:21:55:00	04:21:58:00	PUBLIC HEALTH, HOMELESSNESS AND
04:21:58:00	04:21:59:00	RECOVERY IS.
04:21:59:00	04:22:02:00	AM I MISSING THE POINT?
04:22:02:00	04:22:03:00	BUT WHAT IS YOUR POINT
04:22:03:00	04:22:03:00	OF ORDER?
04:22:03:00	04:22:06:00	THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
04:22:06:00	04:22:07:00	WHEN SHE OBJECTED THAT SHOULD
04:22:07:00	04:22:10:00	HAVE BEEN THE END OF THE
04:22:10:00	04:22:10:00	CONVERSATION.
04:22:10:00	04:22:13:00	THEN IT WOULD GO INTO COMMITTEE
04:22:13:00	04:22:13:00	.
04:22:13:00	04:22:14:00	YOU ALLOWED HER TO SPEAK ON A
04:22:14:00	04:22:17:00	ON A ON A SUBJECT THAT SHE HAD
04:22:17:00	04:22:18:00	AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON BUT
04:22:18:00	04:22:21:00	HER HER MAIN GOAL WAS TO OBJECT
04:22:21:00	04:22:21:00	TO IT.
04:22:21:00	04:22:22:00	BUT SHE ALSO HAD THE
04:22:22:00	04:22:25:00	OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK DIRECTLY
04:22:25:00	04:22:25:00	ON IT.
04:22:25:00	04:22:26:00	IN OTHER COUNCIL IT'S LIKE
04:22:26:00	04:22:29:00	COUNCIL SANTANA
04:22:29:00	04:22:30:00	COUNCILOR FITZGERALD DID WANT
04:22:30:00	04:22:30:00	TO SPEAK ON IT.
04:22:30:00	04:22:33:00	I THINK IT'S I THINK IT'S
04:22:33:00	04:22:33:00	UNFAIR, MADAM CHAIR, THAT THOSE
04:22:33:00	04:22:34:00	ARE THE RULES.
04:22:34:00	04:22:37:00	THERE'S NO THE POINT OF THOSE
04:22:37:00	04:22:37:00	ARE THE RULES.
04:22:37:00	04:22:38:00	BUT SHE WANTED TO BE GONE AND
04:22:38:00	04:22:40:00	SHE OBJECTED.
04:22:40:00	04:22:41:00	I DIDN'T I DON'T BELIEVE I
04:22:41:00	04:22:41:00	HEARD HER OBJECTED.
04:22:41:00	04:22:42:00	SHE DID NOT OBJECT OF THEM.
04:22:42:00	04:22:45:00	I SHE DID NOT OBJECT AT THE
04:22:45:00	04:22:45:00	BEGINNING I WAS LISTENING.
04:22:45:00	04:22:48:00	SHE OBJECTED AT THE END IF SHE
04:22:48:00	04:22:49:00	HAD OBJECTED FROM THE BEGINNING
04:22:49:00	04:22:49:00	THAT WOULD HAVE ENDED DEBATE.
04:22:49:00	04:22:52:00	SHE DID NOT.
04:22:52:00	04:22:52:00	IT CAME AT THE END.
04:22:52:00	04:22:53:00	THERE'S NO DISCUSSION ON THE
04:22:53:00	04:22:53:00	MATTER.
04:22:53:00	04:22:55:00	IT IS IT THOSE ARE THE RULES.
04:22:55:00	04:22:56:00	IF YOU COULD POINT TO A RULE
04:22:56:00	04:22:59:00	THAT'S THAT SAYS OTHERWISE THAT
04:22:59:00	04:23:02:00	I AM SOMEHOW VIOLATING A RULE
04:23:02:00	04:23:03:00	YOU MAY DO SO BUT I DON'T HEAR
04:23:03:00	04:23:06:00	THERE'S NO RULE VIOLATION YOU
04:23:06:00	04:23:06:00	DO.
04:23:06:00	04:23:07:00	WHAT IS YOUR POINT OF WHAT IS A
04:23:07:00	04:23:07:00	RULE VIOLATION?
04:23:07:00	04:23:11:00	SO I AGREE THAT YOU DID NOT
04:23:11:00	04:23:13:00	VIOLATE THE LAW BUT THAT IS NOT
04:23:13:00	04:23:14:00	AND THEREFORE THAT IS NOT A
04:23:14:00	04:23:15:00	POINT THAT THERE IS NO POINT
04:23:15:00	04:23:17:00	OF ORDER.
04:23:17:00	04:23:18:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY THAT'S WHY

04:23:22:00	04:23:22:00	UNDERSTAND HOW WE WERE INVOLVED

04:23:26:00	04:23:27:00	MOUTHING AND I KNOW OTHER
04:23:27:00	04:23:27:00	PEOPLE.
04:23:27:00	04:23:29:00	SHE OBJECTED TO THE COUNCIL FOR
04:23:29:00	04:23:30:00	THOSE TRYING TO ASK YOU I SAW
04:23:30:00	04:23:34:00	YOU TRYING EVERYTHING YOU COULD

04:23:34:00	04:23:37:00	IS WHY I TURNED HIS LIGHT ON
04:23:37:00	04:23:38:00	NOW HE TURNED HIS LIGHT ON
04:23:38:00	04:23:41:00	WHICH IS WHY I ALLOWED HIM TO
04:23:41:00	04:23:42:00	SPEAK EVEN THOUGH SHE OBJECTED
04:23:42:00	04:23:46:00	MADE CLEAR WAS WHY LET ME YOU

04:35:46:00	04:35:50:00	REPRESENTATIVE JAY LIVINGSTONE
04:35:50:00	04:35:50:00	.
04:35:50:00	04:35:51:00	PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IS NOT JUST A
04:35:51:00	04:35:54:00	TRANSPORTATION ISSUE IT'S A
04:35:54:00	04:35:54:00	PUBLIC HEALTH AND EQUITY ISSUE
04:35:54:00	04:35:57:00	EVERY DAY OUR RESIDENTS
04:35:57:00	04:35:57:00	ESPECIALLY SENIORS, CHILDREN
04:35:57:00	04:36:01:00	AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
04:36:01:00	04:36:01:00	FACE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS JUST
04:36:01:00	04:36:04:00	TRYING TO WALK THROUGH THEIR
04:36:04:00	04:36:05:00	NEIGHBORHOODS.
04:36:05:00	04:36:06:00	THIS IS DEEPLY PERSONAL TO ME.
04:36:06:00	04:36:09:00	MY 91 YEAR OLD DAD WHO DEPENDS
04:36:09:00	04:36:10:00	ON WALKING TO MAINTAIN HIS
04:36:10:00	04:36:12:00	HEALTH AND HIS INDEPENDENCE HAS
04:36:12:00	04:36:13:00	FALLEN TWICE RECENTLY ON CRACK
04:36:13:00	04:36:16:00	SIDEWALKS JUST OUTSIDE HIS
04:36:16:00	04:36:16:00	HOME.
04:36:16:00	04:36:17:00	THESE WEREN'T JUST STUMBLES
04:36:17:00	04:36:20:00	THEY WERE SERIOUS AND
04:36:20:00	04:36:20:00	FRIGHTENING MOMENTS.
04:36:20:00	04:36:24:00	WHILE I'M GRATEFUL FOR OUR
04:36:24:00	04:36:24:00	FIRST RESPONDERS, NO ONE SHOULD
04:36:24:00	04:36:28:00	HAVE TO RISK INJURE INJURY JUST
04:36:28:00	04:36:29:00	TO GO OUTSIDE FOR A WALK.
04:36:29:00	04:36:29:00	WHAT'S WORSE, I'VE HEARD FROM
04:36:29:00	04:36:32:00	RESIDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN INJURED
04:36:32:00	04:36:33:00	AND THEN FACED BARRIERS TRYING
04:36:33:00	04:36:36:00	TO FILE CLAIMS DUE TO THE 30
04:36:36:00	04:36:37:00	DAY DEADLINE AND LOW STATUTORY
04:36:37:00	04:36:40:00	CAP THAT LEAVES THEM WITHOUT
04:36:40:00	04:36:43:00	REAL OPTIONS JUST TODAY IN THE
04:36:43:00	04:36:46:00	GLOBE STEVE SEAN MURPHY WROTE
04:36:46:00	04:36:47:00	AN ARTICLE SHE FELL ON A BOSTON
04:36:47:00	04:36:51:00	SIDEWALK, FRACTURED HER JAW AND
04:36:51:00	04:36:51:00	GOT NOTHING FROM THE CITY.
04:36:51:00	04:36:54:00	WHY HOUSE BILL 3731 TAKES
04:36:54:00	04:36:58:00	IMPORTANT STEPS TO FIX THAT IT
04:36:58:00	04:36:59:00	MODERNIZES HOW WE PROTECT
04:36:59:00	04:37:02:00	PEDESTRIAN BOTH IN TERMS
04:37:02:00	04:37:03:00	OF INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
04:37:03:00	04:37:06:00	AND LEGAL SAFEGUARDS.
04:37:06:00	04:37:07:00	IT'S A CHANCE FOR THE STATE AND
04:37:07:00	04:37:10:00	CITIES TO WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE
04:37:10:00	04:37:10:00	OUR SIDEWALKS, STREETS AND
04:37:10:00	04:37:11:00	CROSSINGS TRULY SAFE AND
04:37:11:00	04:37:14:00	ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL.
04:37:14:00	04:37:15:00	BOSTON HAS TAKEN STEPS LOCALLY
04:37:15:00	04:37:17:00	LIKE SIDEWALK REPAIR AND
04:37:17:00	04:37:21:00	TRAFFIC CALMING BUT WE CAN'T DO
04:37:21:00	04:37:21:00	IT ALONE.
04:37:21:00	04:37:22:00	WE NEED STATE SUPPORT AND WE
04:37:22:00	04:37:22:00	NEED IT NOW.
04:37:22:00	04:37:25:00	SO I URGE MY COLLEAGUES TO
04:37:25:00	04:37:26:00	SUPPORT THIS RESOLUTION TO SHOW
04:37:26:00	04:37:29:00	OUR SUPPORT UP AT THE STATE
04:37:29:00	04:37:29:00	HOUSE AS THEY PRIORITIZE SWIFT
04:37:29:00	04:37:33:00	PASSAGE OF THIS BILL.
04:37:33:00	04:37:34:00	THANK YOU.
04:37:34:00	04:37:34:00	THANK YOU.
04:37:34:00	04:37:35:00	THE CHAIR AGAIN IN THIS COUNTRY
04:37:35:00	04:37:36:00	FLYNN, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
04:37:36:00	04:37:37:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
04:37:37:00	04:37:40:00	I ALSO RISE TO SUPPORT THIS
04:37:40:00	04:37:41:00	IMPORTANT BILL.
04:37:41:00	04:37:44:00	IT'S ALSO ABOUT SHOWING RESPECT
04:37:44:00	04:37:45:00	FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
04:37:45:00	04:37:48:00	OUR SENIORS THAT HAVE TO USE
04:37:48:00	04:37:52:00	THE SIDEWALKS EVERY DAY WHETHER
04:37:52:00	04:37:53:00	IT'S TO GO TO THE SUPERMARKET
04:37:53:00	04:37:55:00	OR TO THE TO THE PUBLIC
04:37:55:00	04:37:55:00	LIBRARY.
04:37:55:00	04:37:56:00	BUT I THINK THIS IS ABOUT
04:37:56:00	04:37:59:00	FAIRNESS FOR EVERYBODY.
04:37:59:00	04:38:00:00	THIS BILL WOULD ALSO FORCE THE
04:38:00:00	04:38:03:00	CITY OF BOSTON TO ADDRESS THE
04:38:03:00	04:38:07:00	SERIOUSNESS OF SIDEWALK
04:38:07:00	04:38:07:00	REPAIRS.
04:38:07:00	04:38:08:00	THAT'S A CRITICAL ISSUE.
04:38:08:00	04:38:11:00	WE CAN'T IGNORE THAT ISSUE ANY

04:38:31:00	04:38:34:00	THEIR FALLS OR YOU KNOW

04:38:45:00	04:38:46:00	REALLY STRUGGLING WITH THIS ONE

04:55:43:00	04:55:46:00	COMMITTEE ON THIS AFTER IT WAS
04:55:46:00	04:55:47:00	BLOCKED TO BE PUT NOT BLOCKED
04:55:47:00	04:55:50:00	BUT ASKED TO BE PUT INTO
04:55:50:00	04:55:51:00	COMMITTEE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT
04:55:51:00	04:55:51:00	IT?
04:55:51:00	04:55:55:00	I MAY HAVE MISSED THAT OVER THE
04:55:55:00	04:55:55:00	LAST FEW WEEKS.
04:55:55:00	04:55:55:00	I'M NOT SURE.
04:55:55:00	04:55:56:00	DID YOU HOLD A HEARING THROUGH
04:55:56:00	04:55:56:00	THE CHAIR?
04:55:56:00	04:55:58:00	IF YOU'D LIKE TO RESPOND,
04:55:58:00	04:55:59:00	COUNCILOR WEBER YOU MAY.
04:55:59:00	04:55:59:00	YEAH.
04:55:59:00	04:56:01:00	I THINK BLOCKED IS A FAIR WORD
04:56:01:00	04:56:05:00	BUT NO BECAUSE AS I SAID WHEN
04:56:05:00	04:56:05:00	IT WAS BLOCKED THAT I DIDN'T
04:56:05:00	04:56:08:00	THINK WE NEEDED A HEARING AND I
04:56:08:00	04:56:09:00	CAN FURTHER EXPLAIN WHY I DON'T
04:56:09:00	04:56:13:00	THINK WE NEED A HEARING.
04:56:13:00	04:56:13:00	BUT JUST TO ANSWER YOUR
04:56:13:00	04:56:14:00	QUESTION YES OR NO.
04:56:14:00	04:56:14:00	THANK YOU.
04:56:14:00	04:56:17:00	THANK YOU.
04:56:17:00	04:56:17:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN, DO YOU HAVE A
04:56:17:00	04:56:17:00	QUESTION?
04:56:17:00	04:56:20:00	YES, THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
04:56:20:00	04:56:24:00	I FORMALLY REQUEST AT A HEARING
04:56:24:00	04:56:25:00	BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME LANGUAGE
04:56:25:00	04:56:25:00	I WANTED TO GET SOME
04:56:25:00	04:56:29:00	CLARIFICATION ON AS IT RELATED
04:56:29:00	04:56:31:00	TO THE UNITED STATES MILITARY
04:56:31:00	04:56:32:00	AND THE IMPACT IT HAD ON
04:56:32:00	04:56:32:00	VETERANS.
04:56:32:00	04:56:36:00	THOSE ISSUES ARE IMPORTANT TO
04:56:36:00	04:56:37:00	ME AND I'D LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT
04:56:37:00	04:56:39:00	ISSUES THAT IMPACT THE U.S.
04:56:39:00	04:56:43:00	MILITARY BEFORE I VOTE ON
04:56:43:00	04:56:43:00	SOMETHING.
04:56:43:00	04:56:43:00	THAT'S WHY I RESPECTFULLY ASKED
04:56:43:00	04:56:47:00	FOR A HEARING.
04:56:47:00	04:56:51:00	BUT IF WE IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO
04:56:51:00	04:56:52:00	HAVE A HEARING AND THEN WHY WHY
04:56:52:00	04:56:55:00	WOULD WE OBJECT TO WHY WOULD WE
04:56:55:00	04:56:58:00	OBJECT TO A RESOLUTION AND THEN
04:56:58:00	04:56:59:00	JUST NOT HAVE A HEARING?
04:56:59:00	04:57:00:00	THE REASON YOU OBJECT TO A
04:57:00:00	04:57:02:00	RESOLUTION IS SO THAT YOU CAN
04:57:02:00	04:57:03:00	HAVE A HEARING.
04:57:03:00	04:57:06:00	THAT WAS ALWAYS THAT WAS ALWAYS
04:57:06:00	04:57:07:00	THE RULE IS IF YOU IF YOU
04:57:07:00	04:57:09:00	WANTED A HEARING YOU COULD HAVE
04:57:09:00	04:57:10:00	A HEARING SO PEOPLE COULD FIND
04:57:10:00	04:57:13:00	OUT MORE ABOUT A PARTICULAR
04:57:13:00	04:57:16:00	MATTER, FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE
04:57:16:00	04:57:17:00	RESOLUTION BECAUSE MAYBE THEY
04:57:17:00	04:57:20:00	HAVE SOME DETAILED QUESTIONS
04:57:20:00	04:57:21:00	THAT THEY WANT SOME
04:57:21:00	04:57:25:00	CLARIFICATION ON IT DOES THAT
04:57:25:00	04:57:25:00	MEAN THEY'RE FOR OR AGAINST IT
04:57:25:00	04:57:27:00	PER SE?
04:57:27:00	04:57:28:00	IT JUST MEANS THEY'LL
04:57:28:00	04:57:29:00	RESPECTFULLY LOOKING FOR A
04:57:29:00	04:57:31:00	LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION FOR
04:57:31:00	04:57:34:00	SOMEONE THAT UNDERSTANDS THE
04:57:34:00	04:57:35:00	THE ROLE OF THE UNITED STATES
04:57:35:00	04:57:38:00	MILITARY AS WELL AS ANYONE IN
04:57:38:00	04:57:39:00	THIS BUILDING.
04:57:39:00	04:57:42:00	I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT
04:57:42:00	04:57:43:00	LANGUAGE NOT CONCERNS I HAVE
04:57:43:00	04:57:46:00	SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THIS
04:57:46:00	04:57:46:00	RESOLUTION WOULD IMPACT THE
04:57:46:00	04:57:50:00	UNITED STATES MILITARY.
04:57:50:00	04:57:51:00	I'VE STUDIED THESE ISSUES AT
04:57:51:00	04:57:51:00	THE UNITED STATES NAVAL WAR
04:57:51:00	04:57:53:00	COLLEGE.
04:57:53:00	04:57:54:00	THAT'S WHY I WOULD LIKE TO BE
04:57:54:00	04:57:57:00	MORE INFORMED ABOUT THIS
04:57:57:00	04:58:01:00	RESOLUTION BEFORE I VOTE ON IT
04:58:01:00	04:58:01:00	.
04:58:01:00	04:58:02:00	THAT'S WHY I RESPECTFULLY ASKED
04:58:02:00	04:58:08:00	THAT IT BE PLACED IN IN
04:58:08:00	04:58:09:00	COMMITTEE SO IT COULD HAVE A
04:58:09:00	04:58:10:00	HEARING BECAUSE I I DO WANT TO
04:58:10:00	04:58:15:00	KNOW ABOUT THE THE THE IMPACT
04:58:15:00	04:58:15:00	IT HAS ON THE MILITARY.
04:58:15:00	04:58:18:00	I'VE STUDIED THESE ISSUES.
04:58:18:00	04:58:22:00	I FORMERLY STUDIED MILITARY
04:58:22:00	04:58:22:00	ISSUES.
04:58:22:00	04:58:22:00	I KNOW IT AGAIN.
04:58:22:00	04:58:25:00	I KNOW THESE ISSUES.
04:58:25:00	04:58:26:00	MY COLLEAGUES PROBABLY KNOW IT
04:58:26:00	04:58:26:00	AS WELL AS I DO.
04:58:26:00	04:58:29:00	ALSO BUT I HAVE SOME FOLLOW UP
04:58:29:00	04:58:32:00	QUESTIONS ABOUT THE IMPACT IT
04:58:32:00	04:58:33:00	HAS ON THE UNITED STATES
04:58:33:00	04:58:36:00	MILITARY.
04:58:36:00	04:58:37:00	AND NOW I'M GOING TO BE VOTING
04:58:37:00	04:58:40:00	ON SOMETHING THAT WE ALL AGREED
04:58:40:00	04:58:41:00	THAT WE WOULD HAVE A HEARING
04:58:41:00	04:58:41:00	ON.
04:58:41:00	04:58:44:00	BUT BECAUSE OF TIME OR BECAUSE
04:58:44:00	04:58:48:00	OF WHATEVER REASON, THE CHAIR
04:58:48:00	04:58:49:00	JUST DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE A
04:58:49:00	04:58:49:00	HEARING.
04:58:49:00	04:58:52:00	IT'S A LITTLE UNFAIR TO ME,
04:58:52:00	04:58:52:00	MADAM CHAIR, AS SOMEONE THAT
04:58:52:00	04:58:55:00	LIKES TO UNDERSTAND A
04:58:55:00	04:58:59:00	RESOLUTION AND THE WORDING AND
04:58:59:00	04:59:02:00	THE IMPACT IT HAS, IT'S IT'S
04:59:02:00	04:59:03:00	UNFAIR TO ME AS AS THE UNITED
04:59:03:00	04:59:07:00	STATES VETERAN ONE UNDERSTANDS
04:59:07:00	04:59:07:00	STANDS THESE ISSUES THAT WANTS
04:59:07:00	04:59:11:00	TO FOLLOW UP WITH MY COLLEAGUES
04:59:11:00	04:59:11:00	ABOUT PARTICULAR MATTERS ON THE
04:59:11:00	04:59:12:00	US MILITARY.
04:59:12:00	04:59:17:00	I DON'T HAVE THAT OPTION NOW

05:01:14:00	05:01:18:00	TO THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING US,
05:01:18:00	05:01:18:00	ESPECIALLY OUR IMMIGRANT
05:01:18:00	05:01:25:00	CONSTITUENCIES THAT WE DO NOT
05:01:25:00	05:01:29:00	VALUE THEM ENOUGH TO STAND UP
05:01:29:00	05:01:30:00	TO THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
05:01:30:00	05:01:34:00	SO I WOULD LIKE TO JUST GO ON
05:01:34:00	05:01:37:00	THE RECORD IN ENCOURAGING MY
05:01:37:00	05:01:41:00	COLLEAGUES TO ALLOW THIS VOTE

05:01:41:00	05:01:44:00	EVERY SINGLE DAY WE WAIT IS
05:01:44:00	05:01:48:00	SENDING A MESSAGE THAT WE ARE
05:01:48:00	05:01:52:00	DENYING OUR CONSTITUENCIES THE
05:01:52:00	05:01:56:00	PROTECTIONS THAT WE SAW VIETNAM
05:01:56:00	05:01:56:00	HERE FIGHT FOR.
05:01:56:00	05:01:57:00	SO I'M GOING TO ASK MY
05:01:57:00	05:01:59:00	COLLEAGUES TO REALLY RECONSIDER
05:01:59:00	05:02:03:00	OUR POLITICAL POSTURE AS IT
05:02:03:00	05:02:04:00	RELATES TO THIS PARTICULAR
05:02:04:00	05:02:07:00	ISSUE BECAUSE IT'S NOT ABOUT
05:02:07:00	05:02:08:00	WHETHER OR NOT WE NEED TO HEAR
05:02:08:00	05:02:11:00	A PUBLIC HEARING ABOUT THIS.
05:02:11:00	05:02:12:00	I PICK AND CHOOSE MY BATTLES
05:02:12:00	05:02:15:00	AND THIS IS ONE THAT I'M GOING

05:02:26:00	05:02:29:00	WILL HEAR THAT OBJECTION IF
05:02:29:00	05:02:29:00	THERE IS NO OBJECTION BECAUSE
05:02:29:00	05:02:32:00	THIS DISCUSSION THAT IS
05:02:32:00	05:02:33:00	HAPPENING IS ABOUT PULLING IT
05:02:33:00	05:02:37:00	FROM COMMITTEE.
05:02:37:00	05:02:37:00	IT'S ABOUT PULLING IT FROM
05:02:37:00	05:02:38:00	COMMITTEE AND THE SUBSTANTIVE
05:02:38:00	05:02:40:00	DISCUSSION ON THE CONTENT
05:02:40:00	05:02:41:00	SHOULD REALLY BE AT THAT POINT.
05:02:41:00	05:02:44:00	SO WHY IS YOUR POINT OF ORDER?

05:10:49:00	05:10:50:00	THEN WE WOULD HOLD THE TRUMP
05:10:50:00	05:10:53:00	ADMINISTRATION ACCOUNTABLE TO
05:10:53:00	05:10:54:00	THAT.
05:10:54:00	05:10:55:00	AND SO I THINK THAT THIS IS OUR
05:10:55:00	05:10:58:00	OPPORTUNITY TO RISE AS A
05:10:58:00	05:11:01:00	COLLECTIVE BODY AND TO
05:11:01:00	05:11:01:00	DEMONSTRATE THAT WE'RE STANDING
05:11:01:00	05:11:05:00	TOGETHER IN SOLIDARITY.
05:11:05:00	05:11:05:00	AND WHILE I DO APPRECIATE THE
05:11:05:00	05:11:06:00	PROCESS WHICH I'M ALWAYS
05:11:06:00	05:11:08:00	TALKING ABOUT, I THINK THAT
05:11:08:00	05:11:09:00	SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO REALLY
05:11:09:00	05:11:12:00	THINK ABOUT HOW THE PROCESS
05:11:12:00	05:11:13:00	GETS IN THE WAY OF PROGRESS AND
05:11:13:00	05:11:16:00	THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED
05:11:16:00	05:11:17:00	TO DEMONSTRATE TO OUR
05:11:17:00	05:11:18:00	CONSTITUENTS THAT WE ARE PAYING
05:11:18:00	05:11:20:00	ATTENTION AND THAT WE'RE
05:11:20:00	05:11:20:00	STANDING IN SOLIDARITY AND
05:11:20:00	05:11:24:00	SENDING TRUMP A MESSAGE THAT
05:11:24:00	05:11:24:00	WE'RE PAYING ATTENTION.
05:11:24:00	05:11:25:00	THANK YOU.
