00:47:13:00	00:47:14:00	OF AN EXISTING THREE YEAR
00:47:14:00	00:47:14:00	CONTRACT.
00:47:14:00	00:47:15:00	SO JUST EXTENDING THE TERM IT'S
00:47:15:00	00:47:17:00	NOT AN APPROPRIATION AGAIN IT'S

00:47:36:00	00:47:37:00	AMENDING THIS CONTRACT FOR AN
00:47:37:00	00:47:38:00	ADDITIONAL TWO YEARS WOULD BE
00:47:38:00	00:47:41:00	HIGHLY ADVANTAGEOUS FOR THE

01:00:00:00	01:00:01:00	DISPATCHERS ARE THE FIRST FIRST
01:00:01:00	01:00:01:00	RESPONDERS AND THEY'RE THE
01:00:01:00	01:00:03:00	STEADY VOICE ON THE LINE
01:00:03:00	01:00:04:00	WHENEVER SOMEONE IS GOING
01:00:04:00	01:00:04:00	THROUGH CRISIS OR THROUGH A
01:00:04:00	01:00:07:00	CRITICAL TIME.
01:00:07:00	01:00:08:00	SO THIS WORK DEMANDS COMPOSURE
01:00:08:00	01:00:11:00	UNDER EXTREME STRESS, QUICK
01:00:11:00	01:00:12:00	JUDGMENT AND THE ABILITY TO

01:00:18:00	01:00:21:00	THEY TRULY ARE JUST THAT BUT
01:00:21:00	01:00:23:00	THEY NEED TO BE RECOGNIZED
01:00:23:00	01:00:24:00	UNDER THEIR FIRST UNDER THE
01:00:24:00	01:00:24:00	RETIREMENT SYSTEM.
01:00:24:00	01:00:27:00	IF WE SAY WE VALUE SOMEONE, IF
01:00:27:00	01:00:28:00	WE SAY WE VALUE WORKERS, WE
01:00:28:00	01:00:29:00	HAVE TO REFLECT THAT AND HOW WE
01:00:29:00	01:00:31:00	COMPENSATE THEM AND HOW WE
01:00:31:00	01:00:32:00	PROVIDE THEM WITH BENEFITS.
01:00:32:00	01:00:34:00	SO THIS RECLASSIFICATION FROM

01:00:35:00	01:00:38:00	COST TO THE CITY IN COMPARISON
01:00:38:00	01:00:39:00	TO THE WORKLOAD THAT THEY DO
01:00:39:00	01:00:40:00	AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO MISS OUT
01:00:40:00	01:00:43:00	ON AS A RESULT OF THEIR WORK IS
01:00:43:00	01:00:43:00	APPROPRIATE.

01:01:02:00	01:01:02:00	THE WORK OF THE CIVILIAN FIRST
01:01:02:00	01:01:05:00	RESPONDERS AND WHY THE MOVEMENT
01:01:05:00	01:01:06:00	FROM GROUP ONE TO GROUP TWO IS
01:01:06:00	01:01:09:00	ESSENTIAL WOULD ALLOW THEM TO
01:01:09:00	01:01:10:00	GET MORE BENEFITS AND WOULD
01:01:10:00	01:01:13:00	ALLOW THEM TO RETIRE SOONER.
01:01:13:00	01:01:14:00	I HAVE GREAT HOPE THAT THIS
01:01:14:00	01:01:15:00	WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE QUICKLY

01:01:29:00	01:01:32:00	IN THIS DEPARTMENT AMONG OUR
01:01:32:00	01:01:33:00	DISPATCHERS BECAUSE WE DON'T
01:01:33:00	01:01:36:00	VALUE THEIR WORK AND BECAUSE WE
01:01:36:00	01:01:37:00	DON'T SHOW THAT VALUE IN THEIR
01:01:37:00	01:01:37:00	PAYCHECK.
01:01:37:00	01:01:40:00	THIS WILL HELP PROVIDE DIGNITY
01:01:40:00	01:01:44:00	AND WE'LL ALSO MAYBE MAKE IT A
01:01:44:00	01:01:44:00	MORE ATTRACTIVE PLACE FOR

01:10:21:00	01:10:22:00	OTHER TWO CATEGORIES 7% OF THE

01:10:49:00	01:10:52:00	WE NEED TO DO MORE TO ENCOURAGE
01:10:52:00	01:10:52:00	THAT.

01:13:35:00	01:13:35:00	FLOOR.
01:13:35:00	01:13:39:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
01:13:39:00	01:13:40:00	AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO
01:13:40:00	01:13:42:00	CHAIR WEBER FOR AN INFORMATIVE
01:13:42:00	01:13:42:00	HEARING.
01:13:42:00	01:13:45:00	THREE PLUS HOURS OF TESTIMONY
01:13:45:00	01:13:46:00	OF Q&A.
01:13:46:00	01:13:49:00	EXCELLENT DIALOG, EXCELLENT
01:13:49:00	01:13:50:00	FEEDBACK, VERY INFORMATIVE.
01:13:50:00	01:13:53:00	I GET A LOT OUT OF THESE
01:13:53:00	01:13:56:00	HEARINGS BY ANNUAL MEETINGS AND
01:13:56:00	01:13:57:00	I LOVE LISTENING TO ESPECIALLY
01:13:57:00	01:14:01:00	THE TESTIMONY FROM THE PUBLIC
01:14:01:00	01:14:05:00	OR THE PARTICIPANTS.
01:14:05:00	01:14:05:00	I LEARNED LEARNED A GREAT DEAL
01:14:05:00	01:14:09:00	ABOUT THE CHALLENGES WOMEN IN
01:14:09:00	01:14:09:00	THE TRADES ARE FACING.
01:14:09:00	01:14:13:00	THE NUMBERS, AS COUNSELOR WEBER
01:14:13:00	01:14:16:00	MENTIONED OF PEOPLE OF COLOR IN
01:14:16:00	01:14:19:00	THE TRADES IS MEETING THE GOAL
01:14:19:00	01:14:20:00	.
01:14:20:00	01:14:21:00	BUT AS COUNSELOR WEBER ALSO
01:14:21:00	01:14:24:00	NOTED, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY
01:14:24:00	01:14:27:00	SAY THAT THERE THE UNION
01:14:27:00	01:14:31:00	MEMBERS THAT HAVE THAT ARE
01:14:31:00	01:14:32:00	MAKING A GOOD WAGE AND WITH
01:14:32:00	01:14:34:00	GOOD BENEFITS THAT ARE WORKING
01:14:34:00	01:14:35:00	WELL LIVING IN THE CITY.
01:14:35:00	01:14:36:00	SO I THINK WE HAVE TO DO A
01:14:36:00	01:14:38:00	LITTLE BIT MORE RESEARCH ON THE
01:14:38:00	01:14:41:00	NUMBERS AND CERTAINLY THE
01:14:41:00	01:14:42:00	NUMBERS ARE VERY LOW
01:14:42:00	01:14:45:00	EMBARRASSING LOW IN MY OPINION
01:14:45:00	01:14:49:00	FOR WOMEN IN THE TRADES AND
01:14:49:00	01:14:49:00	COUNCILOR WEBER HIGHLIGHTED
01:14:49:00	01:14:50:00	REALLY ONE OF THE CRITICAL
01:14:50:00	01:14:53:00	REASONS IS THE IS AS THE CHILD
01:14:53:00	01:14:56:00	CARE RELATED ISSUE AND WE HEARD
01:14:56:00	01:14:56:00	TESTIMONY FROM PARTICIPANTS
01:14:56:00	01:15:00:00	THAT AS COUNSELOR WEBER
01:15:00:00	01:15:01:00	MENTIONED THAT THEY HAD TO BE
01:15:01:00	01:15:03:00	IN WORK AT 6:00 IN THE MORNING
01:15:03:00	01:15:04:00	AND HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY
01:15:04:00	01:15:07:00	PREPARE ADEQUATELY FOR GETTING
01:15:07:00	01:15:11:00	YOUR CHILD TO A A PLACE WHERE
01:15:11:00	01:15:11:00	THAT CHILD COULD BE COULD
01:15:11:00	01:15:14:00	RECEIVE CHILDCARE, THEN FINISH
01:15:14:00	01:15:15:00	A DAY AT WORK AT THREE OR FOUR
01:15:15:00	01:15:16:00	IN THE AFTERNOON, PICK UP YOUR
01:15:16:00	01:15:19:00	CHILD.
01:15:19:00	01:15:20:00	SO IT REALLY DOESN'T WORK FOR A
01:15:20:00	01:15:22:00	SINGLE MOTHERS IN MY OPINION.
01:15:22:00	01:15:26:00	BUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS
01:15:26:00	01:15:27:00	SUPPORT WOMEN IN THE BUILDING
01:15:27:00	01:15:30:00	TRADES WHETHER IT'S THROUGH
01:15:30:00	01:15:30:00	CHILDCARE, WHETHER IT'S THROUGH
01:15:30:00	01:15:33:00	OTHER SOCIAL SERVICES BUT BUT
01:15:33:00	01:15:37:00	NOT DOING ANYTHING REALLY AS US
01:15:37:00	01:15:38:00	FOR US AS A CITY IS NOT AN
01:15:38:00	01:15:41:00	OPTION AS IT RELATES TO WOMEN
01:15:41:00	01:15:42:00	IN THE BUILDING TRADES.
01:15:42:00	01:15:42:00	WE NEED TO BE MORE SUPPORTIVE.
01:15:42:00	01:15:45:00	WE NEED TO HAVE MORE PROGRAMS
01:15:45:00	01:15:46:00	FOR THEM AND I'M A STRONG
01:15:46:00	01:15:48:00	SUPPORTER IN THE BOSTON JOBS
01:15:48:00	01:15:49:00	FOR BOSTON RESIDENCY POLICY.
01:15:49:00	01:15:53:00	I'M ALSO A STRONG SUPPORTER
01:15:53:00	01:15:54:00	OF THE EMPLOYMENT COMMISSION AS
01:15:54:00	01:15:54:00	COUNCIL MEMBER MENTIONED
01:15:54:00	01:15:58:00	ESTABLISHED UNDER MAY HAVE
01:15:58:00	01:15:58:00	FLYNN BUT THEY THE BOSTON JOBS
01:15:58:00	01:16:01:00	FOR BOSTON RESIDENCY POLICY IS
01:16:01:00	01:16:02:00	ONLY AS GOOD AS THE ENFORCEMENT
01:16:02:00	01:16:05:00	PIECE OF IT AND WE NEED TO WORK
01:16:05:00	01:16:06:00	WITH OUR COMMISSIONERS WHO DO
01:16:06:00	01:16:08:00	AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB BUT WE NEED
01:16:08:00	01:16:12:00	TO ALSO WORK WITH CONTRACTORS
01:16:12:00	01:16:13:00	WHETHER THEY'RE IN THE UNION OR
01:16:13:00	01:16:15:00	NOT IN THE UNION BUT ENSURING
01:16:15:00	01:16:16:00	THAT EVERYONE ESPECIALLY PEOPLE
01:16:16:00	01:16:19:00	OF COLOR, WOMEN HAVE AN
01:16:19:00	01:16:23:00	OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MIDDLE
01:16:23:00	01:16:23:00	CLASS AND THAT'S TO
01:16:23:00	01:16:28:00	APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS IN THE
01:16:28:00	01:16:28:00	BUILDING TRADES.
01:16:28:00	01:16:29:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
01:16:29:00	01:16:29:00	THANK YOU.
01:16:29:00	01:16:30:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES I MEAN
01:16:30:00	01:16:31:00	HERE YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
01:16:31:00	01:16:31:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
01:16:31:00	01:16:34:00	AND THANK YOU TO
01:16:34:00	01:16:35:00	COUNCILOR CHAIR WEBER FOR
01:16:35:00	01:16:35:00	HOSTING THE HEARING.
01:16:35:00	01:16:38:00	I REALLY DO ENJOY ATTENDING
01:16:38:00	01:16:38:00	THEM.
01:16:38:00	01:16:39:00	FOR ME IT'S ALWAYS AN
01:16:39:00	01:16:40:00	OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHAT WE CAN
01:16:40:00	01:16:42:00	BE DOING DIFFERENTLY.
01:16:42:00	01:16:43:00	WE CAN'T KEEP HAVING THE SAME
01:16:43:00	01:16:46:00	CONVERSATION AND EXPECTING
01:16:46:00	01:16:46:00	DIFFERENT RESULTS.
01:16:46:00	01:16:47:00	SO I THINK YESTERDAY'S HEARING
01:16:47:00	01:16:50:00	REALLY DEMONSTRATED WHAT IT
01:16:50:00	01:16:51:00	LOOKS LIKE WHEN WE DIG IN A
01:16:51:00	01:16:54:00	LITTLE BIT DEEPER.
01:16:54:00	01:16:55:00	I KNOW COUNCILOR BREADON AND I
01:16:55:00	01:16:58:00	DEBRIEFED NO OPEN MEETING LIKE
01:16:58:00	01:16:59:00	THAT BECAUSE IT'S JUST ME AND
01:16:59:00	01:17:01:00	HER TALKING ABOUT WHAT A GREAT
01:17:01:00	01:17:02:00	HEARING IT WAS BECAUSE WE
01:17:02:00	01:17:05:00	WALKED OUT OF THERE REALLY
01:17:05:00	01:17:05:00	THINKING OF OTHER THINGS THAT
01:17:05:00	01:17:07:00	WE COULD BE DOING AND SOME
01:17:07:00	01:17:08:00	LEGISLATIVE ACTION POTENTIALLY
01:17:08:00	01:17:12:00	THAT WE COULD BE MAKING TO
01:17:12:00	01:17:12:00	STRENGTHENING THE EXISTING
01:17:12:00	01:17:16:00	ORDINANCE AND GIVING IT A
01:17:16:00	01:17:19:00	LITTLE BIT MORE, IF YOU WILL.
01:17:19:00	01:17:20:00	SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I JUST
01:17:20:00	01:17:22:00	WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS THAT ONE
01:17:22:00	01:17:23:00	THING THAT I POINTED OUT IS
01:17:23:00	01:17:24:00	THAT WE DON'T HAVE A WAY
01:17:24:00	01:17:26:00	OF TRACKING RETENTION.
01:17:26:00	01:17:27:00	ONE THING IS TO GET MORE WOMEN
01:17:27:00	01:17:30:00	AND PEOPLE OF COLOR INTO THESE
01:17:30:00	01:17:30:00	OPPORTUNITIES BUT IF WE DON'T
01:17:30:00	01:17:31:00	HAVE ANY REAL WAY
01:17:31:00	01:17:34:00	OF DEMONSTRATING WHETHER OR NOT
01:17:34:00	01:17:35:00	WE'RE KEEPING THEM THROUGHOUT
01:17:35:00	01:17:35:00	THE LENGTH OF A PROJECT, THEN
01:17:35:00	01:17:38:00	IT'S JUST REALLY SCAFFOLDING.
01:17:38:00	01:17:39:00	AND SO I THINK THAT THERE NEEDS
01:17:39:00	01:17:42:00	TO BE SOME MORE ACCOUNTABILITY
01:17:42:00	01:17:42:00	AROUND THE LONGEVITY
01:17:42:00	01:17:43:00	OF SOMEONE'S EMPLOYMENT FROM
01:17:43:00	01:17:46:00	WHAT I'VE HEARD IS THAT
01:17:46:00	01:17:46:00	OFTENTIMES CONTRACTORS BRING
01:17:46:00	01:17:51:00	PEOPLE IN JUST SO THEY CAN DO
01:17:51:00	01:17:51:00	THAT LITTLE CHECKBOX THAT WE
01:17:51:00	01:17:54:00	ALL KNOW HOW TO DO HERE AS WELL
01:17:54:00	01:17:55:00	CHECKING THE BOX FOR THINGS AND
01:17:55:00	01:17:57:00	SO THAT NEEDS TO GET SOME
01:17:57:00	01:17:57:00	ATTENTION.
01:17:57:00	01:18:01:00	YOU KNOW, I TALKED ABOUT BOSTON
01:18:01:00	01:18:02:00	JOBS FOR BOSTON RESIDENTS.
01:18:02:00	01:18:05:00	I THINK GIVING FOLKS A $300
01:18:05:00	01:18:08:00	SANCTION REALLY ISN'T MEETING
01:18:08:00	01:18:09:00	THE MOMENT I THINK THEY CAN
01:18:09:00	01:18:12:00	FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, BOSTON
01:18:12:00	01:18:16:00	IS NOT BEING A LEADER WHEN
01:18:16:00	01:18:16:00	OTHER OTHER MUNICIPALITIES
01:18:16:00	01:18:20:00	ACROSS THE STATE ARE ABLE TO
01:18:20:00	01:18:20:00	ENFORCE THIS.
01:18:20:00	01:18:23:00	SO I THINK WE CAN LEARN FROM
01:18:23:00	01:18:24:00	OTHERS AND BOSTON SHOULD BE AT
01:18:24:00	01:18:24:00	THE FOREFRONT.
01:18:24:00	01:18:27:00	WE ARE AFTER ALL A UNION CITY
01:18:27:00	01:18:28:00	SO WE SHOULD BE DOING A LOT
01:18:28:00	01:18:31:00	MORE TO UPLIFT THAT.
01:18:31:00	01:18:32:00	AND THEN THE LAST THING THAT I
01:18:32:00	01:18:33:00	JUST WANT TO OFFER IS THAT, YOU
01:18:33:00	01:18:35:00	KNOW, THESE FAT CATS ARE
01:18:35:00	01:18:35:00	LITERALLY LIVING OFF OF THE
01:18:35:00	01:18:39:00	BACKS OF, YOU KNOW, THE LOW
01:18:39:00	01:18:40:00	WAGE WORKERS AND YOU KNOW, OUR
01:18:40:00	01:18:40:00	WORKING CLASS.
01:18:40:00	01:18:43:00	AND I THINK THAT AS WE CONTINUE
01:18:43:00	01:18:44:00	TO HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS,
01:18:44:00	01:18:44:00	THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE
01:18:44:00	01:18:47:00	ACCOUNTABILITY IN THIS
01:18:47:00	01:18:50:00	PARTICULAR AREA IN CRAZY TALK
01:18:50:00	01:18:51:00	HERE.
01:18:51:00	01:18:52:00	BUT YOU KNOW, EVERY FOR EVERY
01:18:52:00	01:18:55:00	PERSON THAT DOES NOT LIVE HERE
01:18:55:00	01:18:56:00	IN THE CITY OF BOSTON, YOU GET
01:18:56:00	01:18:58:00	CHARGED A TAX FOR IT.
01:18:58:00	01:19:00:00	AND I THINK THAT IF YOU DO THAT
01:19:00:00	01:19:03:00	THEY WILL STOP EMPLOYING PEOPLE
01:19:03:00	01:19:03:00	WHO LIVE OUTSIDE OF BOSTON.
01:19:03:00	01:19:06:00	AND SO SOMETHING MORE THAN JUST
01:19:06:00	01:19:07:00	A SANCTION HAS TO GET IF WE'RE
01:19:07:00	01:19:10:00	REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT MEETING
01:19:10:00	01:19:10:00	THE MOMENT.
01:19:10:00	01:19:10:00	SO THAT'S AWESOME.
01:19:10:00	01:19:13:00	A FEW THINGS THAT I'D LIKE TO
01:19:13:00	01:19:14:00	OFFER AND GET THEM ON THE
01:19:14:00	01:19:15:00	RECORD BECAUSE I'D LOVE TO BE
01:19:15:00	01:19:17:00	ABLE TO WORK WITH ANY OF MY
01:19:17:00	01:19:18:00	COLLEAGUES INTERESTED IN

01:25:03:00	01:25:04:00	THINK IT WAS EITHER FIVE MILES

01:27:13:00	01:27:15:00	A LOT ABOUT TRAFFIC SAFETY AND
01:27:15:00	01:27:16:00	ONE OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES
01:27:16:00	01:27:17:00	PEOPLE HAVE IS LACK
01:27:17:00	01:27:20:00	OF ENFORCEMENT AND RED LIGHT
01:27:20:00	01:27:24:00	CAMERAS CAN BE NOT ONLY CATCH
01:27:24:00	01:27:28:00	PEOPLE IN THE ACT IT'S A
01:27:28:00	01:27:28:00	DETERRENT IN NEW YORK CITY
01:27:28:00	01:27:29:00	THEY'VE HAD RED LIGHT CAMERAS
01:27:29:00	01:27:31:00	FOR I THINK A FEW DECADES NOW.
01:27:31:00	01:27:34:00	THEY WERE ONLY IN AT 1% OF THE
01:27:34:00	01:27:35:00	INTERSECTIONS BUT DECREASED RED
01:27:35:00	01:27:38:00	LIGHT VIOLATIONS IN THE CITY BY
01:27:38:00	01:27:42:00	APPROXIMATELY 70% AND IT HAD A
01:27:42:00	01:27:42:00	SIMILAR EFFECT ON SORT
01:27:42:00	01:27:43:00	OF T-BONE COLLISIONS AT

01:27:50:00	01:27:51:00	IF THERE'S A CAMERA THERE AND
01:27:51:00	01:27:54:00	MOST LIKELY THERE ISN'T BUT YOU
01:27:54:00	01:27:54:00	DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE
01:27:54:00	01:27:55:00	AND YOU DON'T GO THROUGH THE
01:27:55:00	01:27:57:00	LIGHT HERE JUST HAVING A SORT

01:28:02:00	01:28:05:00	OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE THING

01:28:30:00	01:28:31:00	ARE YOU FLUX THANK YOU, MADAM
01:28:31:00	01:28:32:00	PRESIDENT.
01:28:32:00	01:28:32:00	AND ALSO THANK YOU TO MY
01:28:32:00	01:28:35:00	CO-SPONSORS FOR BRINGING THIS
01:28:35:00	01:28:36:00	FORWARD AND ALSO TO WANT TO
01:28:36:00	01:28:39:00	SHOUT OUT THE RESIDENTS OVER AT
01:28:39:00	01:28:39:00	HIGH AND HIGH PARK AND
01:28:39:00	01:28:42:00	ROSLINDALE WHO HAVE ALSO HELPED
01:28:42:00	01:28:43:00	ELEVATE THE CONCERNS OF PUBLIC
01:28:43:00	01:28:46:00	SAFETY FOR PEDESTRIANS.
01:28:46:00	01:28:47:00	ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE
01:28:47:00	01:28:49:00	ALWAYS HEAR WHEN MY FAMILY
01:28:49:00	01:28:50:00	COMES UP FROM D.C. TO BOSTON
01:28:50:00	01:28:51:00	THEY THINK THAT WE DRIVE
01:28:51:00	01:28:54:00	COMPLETELY CRAZY.
01:28:54:00	01:28:55:00	THEY ALWAYS SAY LIKE WHAT'S
01:28:55:00	01:28:55:00	GOING ON?
01:28:55:00	01:28:58:00	YOU GUYS ARE SPEEDING, TAKING
01:28:58:00	01:28:59:00	LESS ON RIDES AND RIGHT TURNS
01:28:59:00	01:28:59:00	WHEN IT'S NOT RIGHT.
01:28:59:00	01:29:02:00	THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW WE
01:29:02:00	01:29:02:00	GET AWAY WITH HALF OF THE
01:29:02:00	01:29:03:00	THINGS THAT WE DO ON THE ROAD
01:29:03:00	01:29:05:00	AND THAT IS BECAUSE THAT THEY
01:29:05:00	01:29:06:00	HAVE THIS AUTOMATED TRAFFIC
01:29:06:00	01:29:10:00	ENFORCEMENT AND I BELIEVE THAT
01:29:10:00	01:29:13:00	IT WILL WORK ALTHOUGH WE FUND
01:29:13:00	01:29:14:00	FOR LARGE POLICE ACADEMIES WE
01:29:14:00	01:29:17:00	KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT ABLE TO
01:29:17:00	01:29:18:00	FILL THEM AND BECAUSE OF THAT,
01:29:18:00	01:29:20:00	YOU KNOW, OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT
01:29:20:00	01:29:21:00	DOES NOT HAVE THE TRAFFIC
01:29:21:00	01:29:22:00	ENFORCEMENT DIVISION THAT IT
01:29:22:00	01:29:25:00	ONCE HAS HAD IN THE PAST.
01:29:25:00	01:29:25:00	AND I THINK THAT WE DO NEED
01:29:25:00	01:29:28:00	TECHNOLOGY TO FILL THAT SPACE
01:29:28:00	01:29:29:00	AND EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW,
01:29:29:00	01:29:31:00	COUNCIL MEMBER SAID WE DON'T
01:29:31:00	01:29:32:00	NEED TO INSTALL THEM EVERYWHERE
01:29:32:00	01:29:33:00	BUT THE FEAR THE FEAR
01:29:33:00	01:29:35:00	OF ACTUALLY KNOWING THAT YOU
01:29:35:00	01:29:36:00	MIGHT GET A TICKET IN THE MAIL
01:29:36:00	01:29:39:00	I THINK IS ENOUGH TO CHANGE
01:29:39:00	01:29:39:00	DRIVER BEHAVIOR AND KEEP
01:29:39:00	01:29:42:00	EVERYONE TO SAFE ON THE ROADS
01:29:42:00	01:29:43:00	AND THOSE THAT ARE CROSSING THE
01:29:43:00	01:29:43:00	ROADS AS WELL.
01:29:43:00	01:29:44:00	SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS
01:29:44:00	01:29:46:00	HEARING AND I ENCOURAGE MY
01:29:46:00	01:29:47:00	STATE COLLEAGUES TO ACT QUICKLY
01:29:47:00	01:29:50:00	ON THIS BILL.
01:29:50:00	01:29:50:00	THANK YOU.
01:29:50:00	01:29:51:00	THANK YOU.
01:29:51:00	01:29:51:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
01:29:51:00	01:29:52:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN.
01:29:52:00	01:29:53:00	YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
01:29:53:00	01:29:54:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
01:29:54:00	01:29:54:00	PEDESTRIAN SAFETY HAS BEEN A
01:29:54:00	01:29:58:00	TOP ISSUE OF MINE FOR YEARS AND
01:29:58:00	01:30:01:00	IT'S GETTING WORSE.
01:30:01:00	01:30:01:00	FOR EIGHT YEARS I'VE ADVOCATED
01:30:01:00	01:30:02:00	FOR TRAFFIC CALMING
01:30:02:00	01:30:05:00	INFRASTRUCTURE RAISE CROSSWALK
01:30:05:00	01:30:06:00	SPEED HUMPS, PEDESTRIAN ISLANDS
01:30:06:00	01:30:09:00	IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD,
01:30:09:00	01:30:10:00	RAPID FLASH BEACONS WITH
01:30:10:00	01:30:13:00	PEDESTRIAN LIGHTS AND MORE.
01:30:13:00	01:30:13:00	ALTHOUGH THE CITY DISAGREES
01:30:13:00	01:30:17:00	WITH ME I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD
01:30:17:00	01:30:17:00	BE ON OUR MAIN STREETS AND
01:30:17:00	01:30:18:00	COMMERCIAL ROADS WHERE THE
01:30:18:00	01:30:21:00	MAJORITY OF CARS AND FOOT
01:30:21:00	01:30:21:00	TRAFFIC COME INTO CONFLICT.
01:30:21:00	01:30:24:00	THE CITY OF QUINCY HAS RAISED
01:30:24:00	01:30:25:00	CROSSWALKS AT QUINCY CENTER BUT
01:30:25:00	01:30:28:00	WE PLACE OUR SPEED HUMPS ON
01:30:28:00	01:30:28:00	SIDE STREETS.
01:30:28:00	01:30:32:00	LET'S BE CLEAR I WANT TO GO
01:30:32:00	01:30:33:00	FURTHER THAN THE CITY DOES ON
01:30:33:00	01:30:35:00	PEDESTRIAN SAFETY JUST THIS
01:30:35:00	01:30:36:00	WEEK THE CHIEF OF STREETS
01:30:36:00	01:30:39:00	DENIED SPEED HUMPS THAT I IN
01:30:39:00	01:30:40:00	THE DALLAS NEIGHBORHOOD
01:30:40:00	01:30:40:00	REQUESTED ON APPLETON STREET
01:30:40:00	01:30:43:00	AND THE SOUTH END NEXT TO AN
01:30:43:00	01:30:44:00	EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
01:30:44:00	01:30:47:00	CENTER EVEN THOUGH THE ROAD
01:30:47:00	01:30:50:00	QUALIFIES UNDER HIS VERY OWN
01:30:50:00	01:30:51:00	GUIDELINES, I HAVE REPEATEDLY
01:30:51:00	01:30:51:00	SAID SPEEDING CARS ARE A PUBLIC
01:30:51:00	01:30:54:00	HEALTH EMERGENCY.
01:30:54:00	01:30:55:00	I HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT WITH
01:30:55:00	01:30:55:00	THIS FOR YEARS.
01:30:55:00	01:30:59:00	I CONTINUE TO SOUND THE ALARM
01:30:59:00	01:31:03:00	ABOUT THE CHALLENGES WE FACE ON
01:31:03:00	01:31:07:00	CONCURRENT JURISDICTION FOR
01:31:07:00	01:31:11:00	VEHICLES AND FOR PEDESTRIANS
01:31:11:00	01:31:12:00	CROSSING AT THE SAME TIME
01:31:12:00	01:31:15:00	BASICALLY A CAR WOULD HAVE THE
01:31:15:00	01:31:16:00	SAME THE SAME RIGHT OF WAY AS
01:31:16:00	01:31:18:00	THE PEDESTRIAN.
01:31:18:00	01:31:19:00	I DON'T SUPPORT THIS.
01:31:19:00	01:31:22:00	WE HAD A CONVERSATION AT A CITY
01:31:22:00	01:31:23:00	COUNCIL HEARING IN JAMAICA PLAN
01:31:23:00	01:31:26:00	A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND I
01:31:26:00	01:31:26:00	CHALLENGED THE THE CHIEF
01:31:26:00	01:31:27:00	OF STREETS ON THIS WHERE THE
01:31:27:00	01:31:29:00	CITY COUNCIL VOTED UNANIMOUSLY
01:31:29:00	01:31:30:00	13 TO NOTHING.
01:31:30:00	01:31:36:00	IT'S STILL HASN'T BEEN ACTED.
01:31:36:00	01:31:37:00	WE HAVE TO HAVE A SERIOUS
01:31:37:00	01:31:39:00	CONVERSATION ALSO ABOUT SOME
01:31:39:00	01:31:40:00	OF THE PILOTS IN MY DISTRICT
01:31:40:00	01:31:44:00	THAT WERE BUS PILOTS AND THE
01:31:44:00	01:31:47:00	PAINT WENT DOWN ON THE GROUND
01:31:47:00	01:31:47:00	AND WE FOUND OUT LATER WHETHER
01:31:47:00	01:31:48:00	IT WAS ON BOYLSTON STREET OR
01:31:48:00	01:31:50:00	SUMMER STREET THAT THE PILOT
01:31:50:00	01:31:51:00	DIDN'T WORK AND NOW THE PAINT
01:31:51:00	01:31:54:00	IS STILL THERE ALTHOUGH THE
01:31:54:00	01:31:54:00	PILOT IS OVER AND THEY'RE NOT
01:31:54:00	01:31:58:00	USING THE BUS LANE ANYMORE,
01:31:58:00	01:31:59:00	WHAT IMPACT WILL THAT HAVE ON
01:31:59:00	01:32:01:00	THIS TYPE OF PROPOSED
01:32:01:00	01:32:01:00	LEGISLATION?
01:32:01:00	01:32:05:00	SO I'M CALLING FOR THE

01:32:09:00	01:32:10:00	OR SUMMER STREET SO RESIDENTS
01:32:10:00	01:32:12:00	ARE NOT CONFUSED.
01:32:12:00	01:32:13:00	THIS IS ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY.
01:32:13:00	01:32:16:00	IT'S ABOUT TRANSPARENCY,
01:32:16:00	01:32:17:00	ACCOUNTABILITY AND WE NEED TO
01:32:17:00	01:32:18:00	ENSURE THAT WE PROVIDE THE
01:32:18:00	01:32:20:00	SAFEST ENVIRONMENT FOR
01:32:20:00	01:32:21:00	RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

01:32:39:00	01:32:42:00	THINK BUS AUTOMATED BUS
01:32:42:00	01:32:43:00	ENFORCEMENT IS AND I THINK
01:32:43:00	01:32:46:00	WE'RE IN A MOMENT IN TIME WHERE
01:32:46:00	01:32:47:00	WE KNOW OUR POLICE FORCE CANNOT
01:32:47:00	01:32:51:00	ACTIVELY PATROL OUR STREETS IN
01:32:51:00	01:32:51:00	THE WAYS THAT A LOT
01:32:51:00	01:32:54:00	OF CONSTITUENTS WOULD LIKE TO
01:32:54:00	01:32:54:00	SEE.

01:37:12:00	01:37:16:00	AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS
01:37:16:00	01:37:16:00	CONSISTENTLY THE TOP CONCERN
01:37:16:00	01:37:19:00	FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND FOR GOOD
01:37:19:00	01:37:19:00	REASON.
01:37:19:00	01:37:20:00	BOSTON IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A
01:37:20:00	01:37:22:00	HOUSING CRISIS AND
01:37:22:00	01:37:23:00	AFFORDABILITY CRISIS.

01:37:43:00	01:37:43:00	THEY HAVE THE UNTAPPED
01:37:43:00	01:37:46:00	POTENTIAL TO HOUSE MANY MORE.
01:37:46:00	01:37:47:00	OVER THE YEARS THE NUMBER
01:37:47:00	01:37:50:00	OF SORROWS HAS DRASTICALLY GONE
01:37:50:00	01:37:54:00	DOWN DUE IN LARGE PART TO URBAN

01:38:17:00	01:38:18:00	INCENTIVIZES THE CREATION
01:38:18:00	01:38:20:00	OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
01:38:20:00	01:38:21:00	BECAUSE OF THAT IT MAKES IT

01:38:25:00	01:38:26:00	HOUSING SOLUTIONS THAT'S ALWAYS

01:39:38:00	01:39:39:00	FOR BRINGING FORWARD THIS ONE.

01:39:42:00	01:39:42:00	EVERY POSSIBLE TYPE OF HOUSING
01:39:42:00	01:39:45:00	TO ADDRESS OUR HOUSING CRISIS.

01:40:41:00	01:40:44:00	BEEN A FORMER ROOMING HOUSE BUT
01:40:44:00	01:40:45:00	I THINK WE HAVE TO SORT OF LOOK

01:42:26:00	01:42:27:00	THINK IT WAS COUNCIL WERE ALL

01:42:29:00	01:42:30:00	VERSION OF THIS HEARING ORDER
01:42:30:00	01:42:32:00	LAST YEAR.
01:42:32:00	01:42:33:00	WE AT THE TIME WE WERE AWAITING
01:42:33:00	01:42:34:00	THE RELEASE OF THE MAYOR'S
01:42:34:00	01:42:36:00	OFFICE AND HUMAN SERVICES
01:42:36:00	01:42:40:00	CABINETS REPORT ON YOUTH SPORTS
01:42:40:00	01:42:40:00	.
01:42:40:00	01:42:41:00	THAT REPORT CAME OUT AND
01:42:41:00	01:42:44:00	IDENTIFIED WAYS THAT THE CITY
01:42:44:00	01:42:45:00	IS BOTH LAUNCHING AND DOUBLING
01:42:45:00	01:42:48:00	DOWN ON EXISTING SPORTS
01:42:48:00	01:42:48:00	PROGRAMS.
01:42:48:00	01:42:49:00	BUT IT ALSO SPOKE TO AN ISSUE
01:42:49:00	01:42:52:00	WE HAVE HERE WHICH IS THAT WE
01:42:52:00	01:42:53:00	SIMPLY HAVE LOWER SPORTS
01:42:53:00	01:42:56:00	PARTICIPATION RATES THAN IN
01:42:56:00	01:42:57:00	SURROUNDING TOWNS THROUGHOUT
01:42:57:00	01:43:00:00	THE STATE AND THAT THIS
01:43:00:00	01:43:03:00	DISPARITY IS EVEN SHARPER WHEN
01:43:03:00	01:43:04:00	YOU LOOK AT INCOME, RACE AND
01:43:04:00	01:43:08:00	GENDER.
01:43:08:00	01:43:08:00	AND SO, YOU KNOW, I LOOK
01:43:08:00	01:43:12:00	FORWARD TO THE OPPORTUNITY TO
01:43:12:00	01:43:12:00	COME TOGETHER AND LOOK FOR WAYS
01:43:12:00	01:43:16:00	THAT WE CAN RESPOND TO THAT
01:43:16:00	01:43:16:00	REPORT IN A CONSTRUCTIVE
01:43:16:00	01:43:19:00	FASHION AND IMPROVE, YOU KNOW,
01:43:19:00	01:43:20:00	SPORTS OFFERINGS AND SPORTS
01:43:20:00	01:43:23:00	PROGRAMING AROUND THE CITY.
01:43:23:00	01:43:23:00	THANK YOU.
01:43:23:00	01:43:23:00	THANK YOU.
01:43:23:00	01:43:27:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
01:43:27:00	01:43:27:00	COUNCILOR FITZGERALD.
01:43:27:00	01:43:28:00	DO YOU HAVE THE FLOOR THAT YOU
01:43:28:00	01:43:31:00	CAN PRESIDENT YEAH THIS IS ONE
01:43:31:00	01:43:34:00	THIRD THE OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S
01:43:34:00	01:43:34:00	TRIPLE-A BOND RATING ACADEMICS
01:43:34:00	01:43:35:00	ATHLETICS AND ARTS AND SO THIS
01:43:35:00	01:43:38:00	THE ATHLETIC PORTION IS KEY I
01:43:38:00	01:43:39:00	KNOW ONE KEY COMPONENT FOR THE
01:43:39:00	01:43:42:00	DIFFICULTY IN THIS IS ON THE
01:43:42:00	01:43:43:00	PARENTS SIDE AND I CAN SPEAK
01:43:43:00	01:43:45:00	FROM EXPERIENCE AND JUST SAYING
01:43:45:00	01:43:46:00	MY KIDS UP FOR BASKETBALL
01:43:46:00	01:43:46:00	YESTERDAY THAT PLAYING FLAG
01:43:46:00	01:43:49:00	FOOTBALL THERE'S SKATING
01:43:49:00	01:43:49:00	LESSONS AND SWIMMING LESSONS AS
01:43:49:00	01:43:50:00	WELL.
01:43:50:00	01:43:53:00	A LOT OF THIS COMES DOWN HOW DO
01:43:53:00	01:43:53:00	WE ALSO GET PARENTS MORE
01:43:53:00	01:43:53:00	INVOLVED?
01:43:53:00	01:43:57:00	I COACH ALL OF MY KIDS TEAMS AT
01:43:57:00	01:43:57:00	THE SAME TIME.
01:43:57:00	01:44:00:00	IT'S QUITE A COMMITMENT AND SO
01:44:00:00	01:44:01:00	I THINK THE MORE PARENTS WE CAN
01:44:01:00	01:44:04:00	GET INVOLVED IN YOUTH SPORTS
01:44:04:00	01:44:05:00	THE MORE KIDS WILL GET INVOLVED
01:44:05:00	01:44:05:00	IN YOUTH SPORTS AND LIFT THAT
01:44:05:00	01:44:07:00	PARTICIPATION UP.
01:44:07:00	01:44:08:00	BUT A LOT OF IT IS SCHEDULING
01:44:08:00	01:44:09:00	FOR PARENTS AND NOT
01:44:09:00	01:44:11:00	UNDERSTANDING WHEN THESE SPORTS
01:44:11:00	01:44:12:00	HAPPEN, WHEN PRACTICES HAPPEN,
01:44:12:00	01:44:13:00	WHAT FIELDS WILL YOU BE AT AND
01:44:13:00	01:44:15:00	WHAT TIMES OF THE GAMES AT SO
01:44:15:00	01:44:16:00	THAT YOU CAN RIGHTFULLY PUT
01:44:16:00	01:44:19:00	TOGETHER A SCHEDULE FOR THE
01:44:19:00	01:44:20:00	UPCOMING SEASON AND KNOW THAT
01:44:20:00	01:44:22:00	YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DELIVER ON IT
01:44:22:00	01:44:23:00	?
01:44:23:00	01:44:23:00	SO I LOOK FORWARD TO KIND
01:44:23:00	01:44:24:00	OF TACKLING ALL THOSE ISSUES IN
01:44:24:00	01:44:27:00	THIS AS WELL AND HOW TO MAKE
01:44:27:00	01:44:30:00	SURE COST IS NOT A BARRIER AS
01:44:30:00	01:44:31:00	WELL AS ANYTHING ELSE.
01:44:31:00	01:44:31:00	SO LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
01:44:31:00	01:44:32:00	COUNCILOR WEBER AND THE REST
01:44:32:00	01:44:35:00	OF MY COLLEAGUES ON HOW WE CAN

01:44:39:00	01:44:39:00	THANK YOU.
01:44:39:00	01:44:40:00	I'M SURE YOU DIDN'T USE THE
01:44:40:00	01:44:42:00	WORD OF CACKLING TO BE PUNNY.
01:44:42:00	01:44:43:00	IT WAS FUN TACKLING.

01:45:02:00	01:45:06:00	IN A LIFELONG ADVOCATE FOR OUR
01:45:06:00	01:45:06:00	CITY'S YOUTH, I KNOW FIRSTHAND
01:45:06:00	01:45:09:00	HOW SPORTS CAN CHANGE A YOUNG
01:45:09:00	01:45:09:00	PERSON'S LIFE.
01:45:09:00	01:45:10:00	PARTICIPATION IN SPORTS BUILDS
01:45:10:00	01:45:13:00	CONFIDENCE, TEACHES TEAMWORK
01:45:13:00	01:45:14:00	AND HELPS OUR KIDS GROW INTO
01:45:14:00	01:45:17:00	RESILIENT HEALTHY ADULTS.
01:45:17:00	01:45:17:00	BUT TOO MANY FAMILIES ACROSS
01:45:17:00	01:45:20:00	BOSTON STILL FACE BARRIERS FROM
01:45:20:00	01:45:21:00	THE COST OF EQUIPMENT AND
01:45:21:00	01:45:24:00	REGISTRATION FEES TO LIMITED
01:45:24:00	01:45:24:00	FIELD ACCESS AND A LACK
01:45:24:00	01:45:27:00	OF CLEAR INFORMATION ABOUT
01:45:27:00	01:45:27:00	AVAILABLE PROGRAMS.
01:45:27:00	01:45:30:00	WHEN MAYOR WU FIRST ANNOUNCED
01:45:30:00	01:45:31:00	THE LET'S PLAY BOSTON YOUTH
01:45:31:00	01:45:34:00	SPORTS INITIATIVE AT THE REGGIE
01:45:34:00	01:45:34:00	LEWIS CENTER LAST YEAR, I WAS
01:45:34:00	01:45:38:00	PROUD TO STAND THERE IN SUPPORT
01:45:38:00	01:45:38:00	.
01:45:38:00	01:45:39:00	I SAW THE EXCITEMENT FROM
01:45:39:00	01:45:39:00	COACHES, PARENTS AND STUDENTS.
01:45:39:00	01:45:43:00	I SAW ALL OF THE STAFF
01:45:43:00	01:45:46:00	DEDICATED STAFF AT THIS ATHON
01:45:46:00	01:45:47:00	AND I KNEW IN THE PARKS
01:45:47:00	01:45:50:00	DEPARTMENT AND I KNEW THIS THE
01:45:50:00	01:45:50:00	KIND OF PARTNERSHIP BOSTON
01:45:50:00	01:45:50:00	NEEDED.
01:45:50:00	01:45:51:00	THAT INITIATIVE WAS AN
01:45:51:00	01:45:54:00	IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD AND THIS
01:45:54:00	01:45:55:00	HEARING WILL BUILD ON THAT
01:45:55:00	01:45:58:00	FOUNDATION TO MAKE SURE EVERY
01:45:58:00	01:45:58:00	NEIGHBORHOOD, EVERY SCHOOL AND
01:45:58:00	01:46:01:00	EVERY CHILD HAS EQUITABLE
01:46:01:00	01:46:02:00	ACCESS TO PLAY.
01:46:02:00	01:46:04:00	BOSTON HAS MORE THAN 250 YOUTH
01:46:04:00	01:46:04:00	SPORTS NONPROFITS.
01:46:04:00	01:46:08:00	YET PARENTS OFTEN TELL US IT'S
01:46:08:00	01:46:09:00	CONFUSING TO KNOW WHERE TO
01:46:09:00	01:46:09:00	START.
01:46:09:00	01:46:12:00	OUR JOB AS CITY COUNSELORS
01:46:12:00	01:46:13:00	SHOULD BE TO CONNECT THE DOTS,
01:46:13:00	01:46:16:00	REDUCE THE BARRIERS AND MAKE
01:46:16:00	01:46:17:00	PARTICIPATION AVAILABLE FOR ALL
01:46:17:00	01:46:20:00	KIDS AND POSSIBLE FOR ALL NOT
01:46:20:00	01:46:21:00	JUST THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD IT OR
01:46:21:00	01:46:24:00	LIVE NEAR THE RIGHT FACILITY.
01:46:24:00	01:46:24:00	WE ALSO NEED TO LOOK AT HOW
01:46:24:00	01:46:25:00	CITY DEPARTMENTS CAN
01:46:25:00	01:46:28:00	COLLABORATE TO BETTER SUPPORT
01:46:28:00	01:46:29:00	PROGRAMS LIKE JP YOUTH SOCCER
01:46:29:00	01:46:32:00	WHICH HAD TO COVER THE COST
01:46:32:00	01:46:32:00	OF LIGHTING UP A GOLF FIELD ON
01:46:32:00	01:46:35:00	THEIR OWN AND OTHERS TO ENSURE
01:46:35:00	01:46:36:00	THAT NO TEAM COACH OR PLAYER IS
01:46:36:00	01:46:39:00	LEFT BEHIND BECAUSE
01:46:39:00	01:46:40:00	OF BUREAUCRACY OR BUDGET GAPS.
01:46:40:00	01:46:42:00	THIS HEARING IS ABOUT
01:46:42:00	01:46:43:00	PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR COMMUNITY
01:46:43:00	01:46:43:00	CENTERS, SCHOOLS, NONPROFITS
01:46:43:00	01:46:47:00	AND OF COURSE LABOR UNIONS WHO
01:46:47:00	01:46:47:00	BUILD AND MAINTAIN THESE SPACES
01:46:47:00	01:46:51:00	TO STRENGTHEN THE ECOSYSTEM
01:46:51:00	01:46:51:00	THAT SUPPORTS BOSTON KIDS.

01:54:09:00	01:54:10:00	IN MY OPINION THIS TEXT

01:55:10:00	01:55:11:00	CHAIRMAN OF THIS COUNCIL THAT
01:55:11:00	01:55:12:00	IS ABOUT TO HAVE THE FLOOR.
01:55:12:00	01:55:12:00	OKAY.
01:55:12:00	01:55:13:00	THANK YOU.
01:55:13:00	01:55:13:00	AND I WANT TO THANK MY
01:55:13:00	01:55:14:00	COLLEAGUE FOR INTRODUCING THIS.
01:55:14:00	01:55:16:00	OBVIOUSLY THIS DEBATE IS VERY
01:55:16:00	01:55:16:00	COMPLEX.
01:55:16:00	01:55:20:00	VIEWS ON THIS VERY SIGNIFICANT
01:55:20:00	01:55:20:00	BASED ON ETHICAL, SOCIAL AND
01:55:20:00	01:55:23:00	PERSONAL PERSPECTIVES AND I
01:55:23:00	01:55:24:00	RESPECT EVERYONE'S PERSPECTIVE
01:55:24:00	01:55:24:00	ON THIS.
01:55:24:00	01:55:27:00	I THINK AS WE'RE HAVING THIS
01:55:27:00	01:55:28:00	CONVERSATION I DO LOOK FORWARD
01:55:28:00	01:55:28:00	TO THE CONVERSATION.
01:55:28:00	01:55:31:00	WE HAVE TO CONSIDER INDIVIDUAL
01:55:31:00	01:55:32:00	AGENCY LABOR RIGHTS AND PUBLIC
01:55:32:00	01:55:35:00	PERCEPTION OF THIS WORK WITHIN
01:55:35:00	01:55:35:00	THE CONTEXT OF GENDER.
01:55:35:00	01:55:39:00	WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO
01:55:39:00	01:55:40:00	PERPETUATE OUTDATED NARRATIVES
01:55:40:00	01:55:42:00	OF MISOGYNY THAT THIS TYPE
01:55:42:00	01:55:43:00	OF WORK IS NEGATIVE OR THAT IT
01:55:43:00	01:55:46:00	BRINGS CRIME BECAUSE THE
01:55:46:00	01:55:47:00	VERDICT IS STILL OUT ON THAT.
01:55:47:00	01:55:51:00	WE ALL SUPPORT PUBLIC PROCESS
01:55:51:00	01:55:51:00	AND COMMUNITY PROCESS AND AGAIN
01:55:51:00	01:55:54:00	REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO HOW THE
01:55:54:00	01:55:55:00	ZONING AMENDMENT MAY IMPACT
01:55:55:00	01:55:55:00	THAT.
01:55:55:00	01:55:59:00	I JUST WANT TO BE CAREFUL NOT
01:55:59:00	01:55:59:00	TO WEAPONIZE THE ZONING CODE TO
01:55:59:00	01:56:02:00	POLICE OR MAKE OTHERS FEEL LESS
01:56:02:00	01:56:03:00	THAN FOR THEIR CHOSEN
01:56:03:00	01:56:06:00	PROFESSION WHICH CAN BE VERY
01:56:06:00	01:56:06:00	EMPOWERING AND PROVIDE AUTONOMY
01:56:06:00	01:56:10:00	FOR FOLKS WHO NEED IT.
01:56:10:00	01:56:10:00	THAT'S IT.
01:56:10:00	01:56:10:00	THANK YOU.
01:56:10:00	01:56:11:00	THANK YOU.

01:56:16:00	01:56:17:00	THANK COUNCILOR FLYNN FOR HIS
01:56:17:00	01:56:17:00	LEADERSHIP.
01:56:17:00	01:56:20:00	AS OF THIS MORNING WHEN PLANNED
01:56:20:00	01:56:21:00	PASSED THE ADULT ENTERTAINMENT
01:56:21:00	01:56:25:00	DISTRICT IN CHINATOWN HAS BEEN
01:56:25:00	01:56:25:00	ENTIRELY REMOVED FROM CHINATOWN
01:56:25:00	01:56:28:00	AND CONFINED TO THE ONE SMALL
01:56:28:00	01:56:29:00	AREA IN DOWNTOWN WHERE THERE
01:56:29:00	01:56:31:00	ARE EXISTING USES.
01:56:31:00	01:56:32:00	I KNOW THERE ARE OFTEN LEGAL
01:56:32:00	01:56:33:00	ISSUES WITH MAKING ZONING MORE
01:56:33:00	01:56:36:00	RESTRICTIVE THAN THAN THE
01:56:36:00	01:56:36:00	EXISTING USE.
01:56:36:00	01:56:40:00	I KNOW DEEPLY THE WORK THAT HAS
01:56:40:00	01:56:40:00	BEEN DONE OVER THE YEARS TO
01:56:40:00	01:56:42:00	MOVE CHINATOWN AWAY FROM ITS
01:56:42:00	01:56:43:00	COMBAT ZONE 1990S REPUTATION.
01:56:43:00	01:56:46:00	UNCLE FRANK WAS A DEAR FRIEND
01:56:46:00	01:56:47:00	OF MINE AND I THINK OF THE WORK
01:56:47:00	01:56:50:00	HE DID TO BRING LIGHTING SAFETY
01:56:50:00	01:56:50:00	AND AMAZING SMALL BUSINESSES TO
01:56:50:00	01:56:53:00	THE CHINATOWN COMMUNITY.
01:56:53:00	01:56:54:00	AS SOMETHING THAT INSPIRES
01:56:54:00	01:56:54:00	ME IN THIS WORK EVERY DAY.
01:56:54:00	01:56:58:00	I REMEMBER WALKING WITH HIM
01:56:58:00	01:56:58:00	HOME THROUGH CHINATOWN AND HIM
01:56:58:00	01:57:02:00	POINTING TO THE IMPROVEMENTS
01:57:02:00	01:57:03:00	AND HOW MUCH WORK STILL NEEDS
01:57:03:00	01:57:06:00	TO BE DONE AND I KNOW SINCE HE
01:57:06:00	01:57:08:00	PASSED AWAY IN THE LAST TWO
01:57:08:00	01:57:09:00	YEARS I THINK ABOUT HIM OFTEN
01:57:09:00	01:57:13:00	AND SO I KNOW THAT
01:57:13:00	01:57:16:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN WANTING TO WORK
01:57:16:00	01:57:17:00	ON THIS ISSUE IS BECAUSE HE
01:57:17:00	01:57:18:00	WANTS TO STAND UP FOR HIS
01:57:18:00	01:57:20:00	COMMUNITY.
01:57:20:00	01:57:20:00	I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT I
01:57:20:00	01:57:21:00	WANTED TO SPEAK SOME
01:57:21:00	01:57:23:00	INFORMATION INTO THE RECORD
01:57:23:00	01:57:26:00	ABOUT THE PARTICULAR THE
01:57:26:00	01:57:27:00	PARTICULARITIES OF WHAT THE
01:57:27:00	01:57:31:00	PLAN DOWNTOWN CHANGES MEAN FOR
01:57:31:00	01:57:34:00	THAT SPECIFIC AREA.
01:57:34:00	01:57:35:00	AND AS THE CHAIR OF PLANNING
01:57:35:00	01:57:36:00	DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSPORTATION,
01:57:36:00	01:57:38:00	I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
01:57:38:00	01:57:39:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN FOR HIM TO GET
01:57:39:00	01:57:41:00	THE ANSWERS THAT HE NEEDS TO
01:57:41:00	01:57:42:00	DELIVER FOR HIS CONSTITUENTS.
01:57:42:00	01:57:45:00	AND I THINK COUNCILOR CLAUDE IS
01:57:45:00	01:57:49:00	A PART I APPRECIATE DEEPLY THE
01:57:49:00	01:57:53:00	INTENT AND AND THE WAY THAT
01:57:53:00	01:57:54:00	YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT THIS FROM
01:57:54:00	01:57:56:00	A FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE.
01:57:56:00	01:58:01:00	FOR ME I REALLY THINK THAT ANY
01:58:01:00	01:58:04:00	ZONING OR TEXT AMENDMENTS
01:58:04:00	01:58:04:00	SPECIFICALLY IF WE'VE JUST
01:58:04:00	01:58:09:00	REZONED AN ENTIRE AREA SHOULD
01:58:09:00	01:58:09:00	BE DONE THOUGHTFULLY.
01:58:09:00	01:58:10:00	AND I APPRECIATE
01:58:10:00	01:58:13:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN'S WORK.
01:58:13:00	01:58:14:00	I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK SOME
01:58:14:00	01:58:14:00	OF THIS INFORMATION INTO THE
01:58:14:00	01:58:17:00	RECORD.

01:58:25:00	01:58:25:00	AND I DON'T THINK I WEAPONIZE
01:58:25:00	01:58:28:00	THIS ISSUE IN ANY WAY.
01:58:28:00	01:58:32:00	WHAT I DID IS I CAME HERE TO
01:58:32:00	01:58:33:00	ADVOCATE FOR MY CONSTITUENTS IN
01:58:33:00	01:58:36:00	MY CONSTITUENTS FROM CHINATOWN,
01:58:36:00	01:58:39:00	THE BAY VILLAGE AND IN DOWNTOWN
01:58:39:00	01:58:39:00	BOSTON.
01:58:39:00	01:58:43:00	I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WHEN THE
01:58:43:00	01:58:46:00	COMBAT WAS HAD 20 TO 23 PLACES
01:58:46:00	01:58:46:00	OPENED.
01:58:46:00	01:58:47:00	I WENT TO DON BOSCO HIGH
01:58:47:00	01:58:48:00	SCHOOL.
01:58:48:00	01:58:51:00	I KNOW THE AREA AS WELL AS AS
01:58:51:00	01:58:54:00	WELL AS ANYBODY.
01:58:54:00	01:58:55:00	BUT MY RESIDENTS HAVE SAID TO
01:58:55:00	01:58:57:00	ME THEY WANT TO ENSURE THAT
01:58:57:00	01:59:01:00	CHINATOWN DOESN'T GO BACKWARDS
01:59:01:00	01:59:01:00	.
01:59:01:00	01:59:02:00	DOWNTOWN DOESN'T GO BACKWARDS
01:59:02:00	01:59:03:00	BY THE BAY VILLAGE.
01:59:03:00	01:59:06:00	THEY WANT A SAY IN THE PROCESS
01:59:06:00	01:59:09:00	THAT THAT'S WHAT MY POINT WAS
01:59:09:00	01:59:09:00	WASN'T ABOUT WEAPONIZATION ON
01:59:09:00	01:59:10:00	ANY PARTICULAR ISSUE.
01:59:10:00	01:59:13:00	IT'S ABOUT QUALITY OF LIFE FOR
01:59:13:00	01:59:14:00	RESIDENTS AND ENSURING THAT MY
01:59:14:00	01:59:17:00	CONSTITUENTS HAVE THE ABILITY
01:59:17:00	01:59:18:00	TO BE HEARD AT CITY HALL.
01:59:18:00	01:59:24:00	THAT'S WHAT MY FOCUS IS IN.
01:59:24:00	01:59:25:00	MY CONSTITUENTS MIGHT NOT HAVE
01:59:25:00	01:59:28:00	THE POLITICAL ACCESS OR
01:59:28:00	01:59:32:00	SOPHISTICATION BUT THEY DESERVE
01:59:32:00	01:59:35:00	RESPECT AND THAT'S MY JOB IS TO
01:59:35:00	01:59:36:00	ADVOCATE FOR THEM OR FIGHT FOR
01:59:36:00	01:59:38:00	THEM.

01:59:39:00	01:59:42:00	LARGE ASIAN COMMUNITY.
01:59:42:00	01:59:46:00	THE BAY VILLAGE ALSO HAS A
01:59:46:00	01:59:47:00	LARGE ASIAN COMMUNITY AS WELL
01:59:47:00	01:59:50:00	AS DOES AS DOES THE SOUTH END.
01:59:50:00	01:59:50:00	MANY OF THEM DON'T.
01:59:50:00	01:59:51:00	MANY OF THEM DON'T SPEAK
01:59:51:00	01:59:53:00	ENGLISH.
01:59:53:00	01:59:54:00	I'M THEIR VOICE IN TERMS

01:59:59:00	02:00:02:00	AND I'M HERE TODAY ON THEIR

02:02:04:00	02:02:04:00	BRING THEM UP TO THEIR
02:02:04:00	02:02:07:00	APARTMENT.
02:02:07:00	02:02:08:00	RESIDENTS THAT HAVE CANCER THAT
02:02:08:00	02:02:11:00	CANNOT GO TO THEIR CANCER, TO
02:02:11:00	02:02:11:00	THEIR CHEMOTHERAPY APPOINTMENT
02:02:11:00	02:02:12:00	BECAUSE THE ELEVATOR WASN'T
02:02:12:00	02:02:15:00	WORKING A RESIDENT IN A
02:02:15:00	02:02:19:00	WHEELCHAIR THAT NEEDED TO GO TO
02:02:19:00	02:02:20:00	THE BATHROOM THAT DIDN'T MAKE
02:02:20:00	02:02:22:00	IT THERE.
02:02:22:00	02:02:25:00	I DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD BE MORE
02:02:25:00	02:02:26:00	IMPORTANT THAN GOING TO THAT
02:02:26:00	02:02:29:00	HEARING.
02:02:29:00	02:02:30:00	I REPRESENT THE MOST PUBLIC
02:02:30:00	02:02:31:00	HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS HERE IN
02:02:31:00	02:02:33:00	THE CITY.
02:02:33:00	02:02:34:00	OUR PUBLIC HOUSING RESIDENTS
02:02:34:00	02:02:35:00	ARE SOME OF THE MOST VULNERABLE
02:02:35:00	02:02:42:00	NEIGHBORS.
02:02:42:00	02:02:43:00	IF WE'RE NOT IF WE'RE AFRAID TO
02:02:43:00	02:02:46:00	STAND UP FOR PUBLIC HOUSING
02:02:46:00	02:02:47:00	RESIDENTS, WE'VE LOST OUR WAY
02:02:47:00	02:02:49:00	IN THE CITY.
02:02:49:00	02:02:53:00	I SIMPLY I SIMPLY CAN'T THINK
02:02:53:00	02:02:54:00	OF WHAT COULD BE A BETTER USE
02:02:54:00	02:02:54:00	OF OUR TIME AND EFFORTS THAN
02:02:54:00	02:02:58:00	FOCUSING ON ADA ACCESSIBILITY
02:02:58:00	02:03:01:00	FOR ALL PEOPLE, CIVIL RIGHTS.
02:03:01:00	02:03:02:00	THESE ARE MORAL ISSUES AND IN
02:03:02:00	02:03:05:00	MY TO MY COLLEAGUES IT'S A
02:03:05:00	02:03:05:00	FEDERAL ISSUE.
02:03:05:00	02:03:09:00	IF YOUR VIEW OF VIOLATING
02:03:09:00	02:03:12:00	SOMEONE'S EQUAL ACCESS FOR A
02:03:12:00	02:03:13:00	PERSON WITH DISABILITY TO GET
02:03:13:00	02:03:16:00	INTO A AN APARTMENT BECAUSE THE
02:03:16:00	02:03:17:00	ELEVATOR HAS BEEN DOWN FOR
02:03:17:00	02:03:18:00	WEEKS THAT'S IN VIOLATION
02:03:18:00	02:03:20:00	OF FEDERAL LAW.
02:03:20:00	02:03:21:00	THEY MIGHT NOT BE A POWERFUL
02:03:21:00	02:03:24:00	VOTING BLOC BUT THEY DESERVE
02:03:24:00	02:03:24:00	SOME RESPECT.
02:03:24:00	02:03:30:00	THEY DESERVE SOME DIGNITY.
02:03:30:00	02:03:30:00	THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO ASK
02:03:30:00	02:03:34:00	QUESTIONS AND PUT THIS 17 HOURS
02:03:34:00	02:03:38:00	INTO THE CONVERSATION.

02:09:16:00	02:09:19:00	HAPPEN IN BOSTON HE CAME MANY
