00:17:33:00	00:17:34:00	AND PROTECTED.

00:17:37:00	00:17:38:00	BETWEEN THE PAST TO THE PRESENT
00:17:38:00	00:17:41:00	REMIND US THAT AMERICAN HISTORY

00:17:42:00	00:17:42:00	WALKS OF LIFE.
00:17:42:00	00:17:45:00	TODAY GENERAL WOODHOUSE LIVES
00:17:45:00	00:17:46:00	IN MISSION HILL AND HE

00:17:58:00	00:18:01:00	ENCOURAGED THESE FUTURE SERVICE
00:18:01:00	00:18:02:00	MEMBERS WAS A REMINDER OF HOW
00:18:02:00	00:18:04:00	POWERFUL HIS LEGACY TRULY IS.
00:18:04:00	00:18:05:00	BUT HE MADE IT CLEAR THEY

00:18:08:00	00:18:09:00	HE'S TOUGH.
00:18:09:00	00:18:12:00	HE'S TOUGH ON FOLKS WHO WANT TO
00:18:12:00	00:18:13:00	SERVE BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHAT IT
00:18:13:00	00:18:13:00	TAKES.
00:18:13:00	00:18:16:00	HE'S NOT A HERO OF THE PAST.
00:18:16:00	00:18:19:00	HE'S SHAPING THE FUTURE.
00:18:19:00	00:18:20:00	TODAY I'M PROUD TO BRING
00:18:20:00	00:18:23:00	FORWARD THIS RESOLUTION IN

00:18:34:00	00:18:34:00	COMMUNITY.
00:18:34:00	00:18:37:00	AND THIS IS A TESTAMENT TO THE
00:18:37:00	00:18:38:00	RESPECT THAT EVERYONE HAS FOR
00:18:38:00	00:18:39:00	HIM IN BOSTON.
00:18:39:00	00:18:42:00	BOSTON IS STEEPED IN HISTORY
00:18:42:00	00:18:45:00	AND ACTIVISM AND HIS STORY FITS
00:18:45:00	00:18:46:00	RIGHT INTO THAT FABRIC.
00:18:46:00	00:18:49:00	BUT THIS RESOLUTION IS NOT
00:18:49:00	00:18:49:00	ENOUGH.
00:18:49:00	00:18:50:00	WE NEED TO FIGHT TO KEEP THESE

00:18:57:00	00:18:57:00	OF AMERICAN HEROES.

00:23:16:00	00:23:17:00	NOT A VERY GOOD PILOT THOUGH

00:25:30:00	00:25:37:00	ASSISTANT CORPORATION
00:25:37:00	00:25:37:00	COUNCILOR AROUND 1956 WHEN THE
00:25:37:00	00:25:40:00	BUILDING WHICH WAS BUILT, I
00:25:40:00	00:25:41:00	PROBABLY SAW TWO PEOPLE
00:25:41:00	00:25:44:00	OF COLOR RING THE BUILDING.
00:25:44:00	00:25:47:00	I WAS ASSISTANT CORPORATION
00:25:47:00	00:25:48:00	COUNCILOR AND THERE WAS ANOTHER
00:25:48:00	00:25:52:00	PERSON OF COLOR HERE AND
00:25:52:00	00:25:56:00	OF COURSE WOMEN WERE MOSTLY
00:25:56:00	00:25:56:00	SEGREGATIONISTS.
00:25:56:00	00:25:57:00	NOW THINGS HAVE SLIGHTLY
00:25:57:00	00:26:00:00	CHANGED FOR THE BETTER.
00:26:00:00	00:26:04:00	YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO SAY
00:26:04:00	00:26:08:00	SOMETHING AND IT WILL BE VERY,
00:26:08:00	00:26:08:00	VERY BRIEF.
00:26:08:00	00:26:11:00	BUT I HAVE TO SHARE THIS WITH
00:26:11:00	00:26:11:00	YOU.
00:26:11:00	00:26:15:00	I GREW UP IN ROSWELL WHEN I WAS
00:26:15:00	00:26:19:00	AT YALE PEOPLE WOULD SAY WHERE

00:26:23:00	00:26:24:00	BUT I THOUGHT YOU WERE FROM
00:26:24:00	00:26:24:00	BOSTON.
00:26:24:00	00:26:26:00	I SAID, YEAH, I'M FROM BOSTON.
00:26:26:00	00:26:29:00	THAT'S THE CITY.
00:26:29:00	00:26:33:00	BUT I LIVED IN ROXBURY.

00:26:48:00	00:26:50:00	AND YOU KNOW HOW IT WOULD BE
00:26:50:00	00:26:58:00	THERE ON JULY OR AUGUST DAY
00:26:58:00	00:27:03:00	COME FROM GENERATIONS TWO
00:27:03:00	00:27:07:00	GENERATIONS OF BLACK PREACHERS

00:27:07:00	00:27:08:00	THERE YOU ARE.

00:27:11:00	00:27:14:00	YOU GOT A LOT OF WORK HERE.
00:27:14:00	00:27:21:00	I HAD LATIN AND GREEK BOOKS AT
00:27:21:00	00:27:21:00	HOME.
00:27:21:00	00:27:25:00	THAT WAS MY FATHER'S PROFESSION
00:27:25:00	00:27:27:00	APPLIED TO BOSTON LATIN SCHOOL
00:27:27:00	00:27:27:00	.
00:27:27:00	00:27:32:00	UH, I DIDN'T GET IT.
00:27:32:00	00:27:35:00	SO MY FATHER WENT OUT TO THE
00:27:35:00	00:27:39:00	SCHOOL AND SAID WELL, LOOK, YOU
00:27:39:00	00:27:40:00	KNOW MY FRIENDS SONS, YOU KNOW

00:27:46:00	00:27:50:00	SO MY FATHER WENT OUT TO THE
00:27:50:00	00:27:51:00	SCHOOL AND SAID, WELL GEE, YOU
00:27:51:00	00:27:54:00	KNOW, WE'VE APPLIED WITH CISCO.
00:27:54:00	00:27:57:00	THIS WAS 1940 BOSTON.
00:27:57:00	00:28:01:00	THE HEADMASTER SAID TO MY
00:28:01:00	00:28:05:00	FATHER, REVEREND, WHERE WOULD

00:28:14:00	00:28:17:00	OUR CITY IN 1940.
00:28:17:00	00:28:21:00	I TOLD EVERY PRINCIPAL
00:28:21:00	00:28:24:00	OF BOSTON LATIN SCHOOL THAT
00:28:24:00	00:28:25:00	OF COURSE I WENT TO ENGLISH.
00:28:25:00	00:28:28:00	MY MOTHER TOLD ME IN FLORIDA.
00:28:28:00	00:28:32:00	SO IT WAS NOT TO MAKE ME FEEL A
00:28:32:00	00:28:32:00	VICTIM.
00:28:32:00	00:28:37:00	OH, DAD, WHAT AM I GOING THE
00:28:37:00	00:28:37:00	LATIN SCHOOL.

00:28:37:00	00:28:38:00	SEPTIC.
00:28:38:00	00:28:40:00	SO MY MOTHER LOOKED AT MY
00:28:40:00	00:28:44:00	FATHER AND MY FATHER LOOKED
00:28:44:00	00:28:44:00	BACK AT MY MOTHER.

00:28:48:00	00:28:52:00	GOING DOWN.
00:28:52:00	00:28:52:00	AND WHAT IT WAS MY MOTHER SAID
00:28:52:00	00:28:55:00	IT WAS.
00:28:55:00	00:28:59:00	I WILL SEND THE YOUR FATHER AND
00:28:59:00	00:29:03:00	I DECIDED THAT BOSTON ENGLISH
00:29:03:00	00:29:03:00	IS CLOSER.
00:29:03:00	00:29:06:00	WHICH IS THIS?
00:29:06:00	00:29:07:00	AND THAT WOULD BE A GOOD SCHOOL
00:29:07:00	00:29:10:00	FOR YOU TO GO TO.
00:29:10:00	00:29:10:00	SO I DID.
00:29:10:00	00:29:14:00	AND THE REST IS HISTORY.
00:29:14:00	00:29:21:00	HE USED TO TAKE AWAY EVERYBODY
00:29:21:00	00:29:21:00	HAS BUMPS.
00:29:21:00	00:29:25:00	SOME PEOPLE HAVE MORE BUMPS
00:29:25:00	00:29:26:00	THAN OTHERS.
00:29:26:00	00:29:29:00	SOME PEOPLE HAVE BUMPS ON THEIR
00:29:29:00	00:29:32:00	BUMPS WHICH IS SKIN COLOR.
00:29:32:00	00:29:36:00	NOW YOU KNOW IT IS WHAT IT IS.
00:29:36:00	00:29:40:00	NONE OF US CHOSE WHO WE WANTED
00:29:40:00	00:29:43:00	TO BE.
00:29:43:00	00:29:47:00	WHAT I TAKE AWAY IS I'VE BEEN
00:29:47:00	00:29:51:00	FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE GOOD
00:29:51:00	00:29:55:00	PARENTS, GOOD SPIRITUAL
00:29:55:00	00:29:59:00	BACKGROUND AND EVEN IF YOU
00:29:59:00	00:30:03:00	DON'T LOVE ME, I CAN LIKE YOU.
00:30:03:00	00:30:07:00	I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU WILL
00:30:07:00	00:30:07:00	LOVE ME.
00:30:07:00	00:30:07:00	I WILL LIKE YOU.
00:30:07:00	00:30:10:00	BUT THE MESSAGE IS JUST DO THE
00:30:10:00	00:30:16:00	RIGHT THING DO THE RIGHT THING
00:30:16:00	00:30:17:00	.
00:30:17:00	00:30:20:00	THE LAST TAKE AWAY IS THIS.
00:30:20:00	00:30:21:00	NOW WE'RE ALL AMERICANS.

00:30:24:00	00:30:25:00	THINGS HERE WITH OUR COUNTRY.
00:30:25:00	00:30:28:00	I HAVE TO BE ON THE ONE
00:30:28:00	00:30:32:00	QUESTION I RECEIVED WHEN I WAS

00:57:40:00	00:57:41:00	THIS AMENDMENT REFLECTS A
00:57:41:00	00:57:43:00	THOUGHTFUL APPROACH ADDRESSING

00:58:00:00	00:58:03:00	TRANSFORMATION AND FROM ITS
00:58:03:00	00:58:03:00	ORIGINS AS RECLAIMED LAND FROM

00:58:15:00	00:58:18:00	BULL OFFENSE TRIANGLE STORY.
00:58:18:00	00:58:19:00	THIS AMENDMENT PROPOSES A
00:58:19:00	00:58:19:00	STRAIGHTFORWARD BUT SIGNIFICANT

00:58:26:00	00:58:27:00	WHILE THIS MAY SEEM LIKE JUST A
00:58:27:00	00:58:29:00	TECHNICAL ADJUSTMENT, ITS
00:58:29:00	00:58:29:00	IMPACT ON OUR CITY'S HOUSING
00:58:29:00	00:58:33:00	LANDSCAPE COULD BE SUBSTANTIAL
00:58:33:00	00:58:33:00	.
00:58:33:00	00:58:34:00	LET ME BE CLEAR ABOUT WHY THIS
00:58:34:00	00:58:34:00	CHANGE MATTERS.
00:58:34:00	00:58:37:00	CURRENTLY DEVELOPERS SEEKING TO

00:58:45:00	00:58:45:00	THIS CREATES UNNECESSARY DELAYS

00:59:00:00	00:59:01:00	THIS AMENDMENT SIMPLIFIES THE
00:59:01:00	00:59:03:00	PROCESS BY DESIGNATED
00:59:03:00	00:59:04:00	RESIDENTIAL USES AS ALLOWED
00:59:04:00	00:59:07:00	WITHIN THE DISTRICT REMOVING
00:59:07:00	00:59:08:00	ONE LAYER OF REGULATORY TAPE.
00:59:08:00	00:59:09:00	WE KNOW THERE ARE STILL MANY TO
00:59:09:00	00:59:11:00	GO.
00:59:11:00	00:59:12:00	BY DOING SO WE SEND A CLEAR
00:59:12:00	00:59:12:00	MESSAGE TO DEVELOPERS AND
00:59:12:00	00:59:14:00	RESIDENTS ALIKE.
00:59:14:00	00:59:15:00	BOSTON IS COMMITTED TO
00:59:15:00	00:59:16:00	ADDRESSING OUR HOUSING CRISIS
00:59:16:00	00:59:19:00	AND URGENCY AND WITH URGENCY
00:59:19:00	00:59:19:00	AND INNOVATION.
00:59:19:00	00:59:23:00	THE BOSTON TRIANGLE IS
00:59:23:00	00:59:23:00	PRECISELY WHERE WE SHOULD BE
00:59:23:00	00:59:24:00	ENCOURAGING HOUSING
00:59:24:00	00:59:24:00	DEVELOPMENT.
00:59:24:00	00:59:27:00	IT OFFERS EXCEPTIONAL ACCESS TO
00:59:27:00	00:59:27:00	PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION,
00:59:27:00	00:59:28:00	PROXIMITY TO MAJOR EMPLOYMENT

00:59:32:00	00:59:32:00	GREENWAY.
00:59:32:00	00:59:35:00	BY REMOVING THESE REGULATORY
00:59:35:00	00:59:36:00	BARRIERS WE CAN UNLOCK THE
00:59:36:00	00:59:36:00	DISTRICT'S POTENTIAL AND
00:59:36:00	00:59:39:00	CONTRIBUTE AND HELP IT
00:59:39:00	00:59:40:00	CONTRIBUTE TO ADDRESSING OUR
00:59:40:00	00:59:42:00	CITY'S HOUSING NEEDS.
00:59:42:00	00:59:43:00	IMPORTANTLY, THIS CHANGE DOES
00:59:43:00	00:59:46:00	NOT COMPROMISE THE HISTORIC
00:59:46:00	00:59:47:00	CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT.
00:59:47:00	00:59:48:00	THE WOLF AND TRIANGLE CAN AND
00:59:48:00	00:59:50:00	SHOULD SERVE AS AN EXAMPLE
00:59:50:00	00:59:51:00	OF HOW WE CAN BALANCE GROWTH
00:59:51:00	00:59:54:00	WITH PRESERVATION ENSURING THAT
00:59:54:00	00:59:54:00	NEW HOUSING INTEGRATES
00:59:54:00	00:59:55:00	SEAMLESSLY WITHIN THE FABRIC
00:59:55:00	00:59:58:00	OF OUR COMMUNITY.
00:59:58:00	00:59:59:00	AS THE CHAIR OF PLANNING
00:59:59:00	00:59:59:00	DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSPORTATION
00:59:59:00	01:00:02:00	I AM VERY AWARE OF HOW
01:00:02:00	01:00:03:00	CONTENTIOUS THE ZONED TOPIC
01:00:03:00	01:00:03:00	OF ZONING CAN GET.
01:00:03:00	01:00:06:00	THERE ARE VERY FEW INSTANCES
01:00:06:00	01:00:06:00	WHERE ALL STAKEHOLDERS ARE IN
01:00:06:00	01:00:10:00	ALIGNMENT OVER THE CHANGES.
01:00:10:00	01:00:10:00	THIS IS ONE EXAMPLE.
01:00:10:00	01:00:11:00	THE WEST END CIVIC ASSOCIATION
01:00:11:00	01:00:14:00	AND THE MUSEUM BOTH TESTIFIED
01:00:14:00	01:00:17:00	IN SUPPORT OF THIS AMENDMENT AT
01:00:17:00	01:00:18:00	THE HEARING WE HEARD FROM
01:00:18:00	01:00:18:00	RESIDENTS OF THE BULL FINCH
01:00:18:00	01:00:19:00	TRIANGLE.
01:00:19:00	01:00:21:00	WE HEARD FROM THE BUSINESS
01:00:21:00	01:00:22:00	COMMUNITY AND THE DEVELOPMENT
01:00:22:00	01:00:25:00	COMMUNITY IS ALSO IN SUPPORT.
01:00:25:00	01:00:26:00	MS. CHAMBERS AND MS. MR THOMAS
01:00:26:00	01:00:26:00	GAVE STRONG AND DETAILED
01:00:26:00	01:00:29:00	REASONS WHY THE PLANNING
01:00:29:00	01:00:30:00	DEPARTMENT SUPPORTS MY
01:00:30:00	01:00:30:00	AMENDMENT.
01:00:30:00	01:00:33:00	THIS CHANGE WOULD BETTER ALIGN
01:00:33:00	01:00:33:00	BOSTON ZONING CODE WITH BROADER
01:00:33:00	01:00:34:00	GOALS FOR BOTH THE CITY AND THE
01:00:34:00	01:00:37:00	COMMONWEALTH TO CREATE VIBRANT
01:00:37:00	01:00:37:00	MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT
01:00:37:00	01:00:40:00	ARE ACCESSIBLE AND EQUITABLE.
01:00:40:00	01:00:41:00	I WAS RECENTLY READING MEETING
01:00:41:00	01:00:44:00	ALSO WITH IMG AS PRESIDENT AND
01:00:44:00	01:00:45:00	TALKED ABOUT WORKFORCE HOUSING
01:00:45:00	01:00:48:00	POTENTIAL AND THE BOTH AND
01:00:48:00	01:00:48:00	TRIANGLE.
01:00:48:00	01:00:49:00	IN PASSING THIS AMENDMENT TODAY
01:00:49:00	01:00:52:00	WE CAN MAKE A MEANINGFUL STEP
01:00:52:00	01:00:52:00	TOWARDS ALLEVIATING HOUSING
01:00:52:00	01:00:55:00	SCARCITY WHILE PROMOTING SMART
01:00:55:00	01:00:56:00	GROWTH AND SUSTAINABILITY.
01:00:56:00	01:00:57:00	I URGE MY COLLEAGUES TO JOIN
01:00:57:00	01:01:00:00	ME IN VOTING YES ON THIS
01:01:00:00	01:01:00:00	MEASURE WHICH THEN WILL BE SENT
01:01:00:00	01:01:03:00	TO THE ZONING COMMISSION FOR
01:01:03:00	01:01:03:00	FURTHER REVIEW.
01:01:03:00	01:01:07:00	AS YOU KNOW, ONCE WE PASS A
01:01:07:00	01:01:08:00	ZONING AMENDMENT CHANGE IT'S
01:01:08:00	01:01:08:00	NOT IMMEDIATE SO THERE WILL
01:01:08:00	01:01:11:00	STILL BE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
01:01:11:00	01:01:12:00	FOLKS TO WEIGH IN.
01:01:12:00	01:01:12:00	BUT I THINK THIS WOULD SEND A
01:01:12:00	01:01:15:00	POWERFUL MESSAGE AND AT THIS
01:01:15:00	01:01:16:00	TIME MY RECOMMENDATION TO THE
01:01:16:00	01:01:17:00	FULL COUNCIL IS THAT THIS
01:01:17:00	01:01:19:00	MATTER OUGHT TO PASS IN A NEW
01:01:19:00	01:01:19:00	DRAFT.
01:01:19:00	01:01:22:00	THE TWO CHANGES THAT WERE MADE
01:01:22:00	01:01:23:00	FROM ME FILING TO THE DOCKET
01:01:23:00	01:01:27:00	YOU SEE TODAY IS THERE WERE TWO
01:01:27:00	01:01:27:00	TYPOS AND THOSE TYPOS ARE
01:01:27:00	01:01:28:00	FIXED.
01:01:28:00	01:01:31:00	ONE OF THE TYPOS WAS ACTUALLY
01:01:31:00	01:01:31:00	COMING DIRECTLY FROM THE ZONING
01:01:31:00	01:01:34:00	CODE SO SO I HOPE YOU ALL WILL
01:01:34:00	01:01:34:00	VOTE YES.
01:01:34:00	01:01:37:00	AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR
01:01:37:00	01:01:38:00	TIME.
01:01:38:00	01:01:38:00	THANK YOU.
01:01:38:00	01:01:39:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES AND THEN
01:01:39:00	01:01:41:00	YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
01:01:41:00	01:01:41:00	THANK YOU.
01:01:41:00	01:01:41:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
01:01:41:00	01:01:45:00	AND THANK YOU TO
01:01:45:00	01:01:45:00	COUNCILOR DURKAN FOR CHAIRING
01:01:45:00	01:01:46:00	AN IMPORTANT MEETING AND
01:01:46:00	01:01:48:00	INFORMATIVE MEETING.
01:01:48:00	01:01:49:00	I ATTENDED THE WHOLE MEETING
01:01:49:00	01:01:52:00	AND ASKED QUESTIONS TO THE BPA
01:01:52:00	01:01:56:00	TEAM THAT WAS HERE.
01:01:56:00	01:01:57:00	I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO
01:01:57:00	01:01:57:00	COUNCILOR DURKAN FOR HER
01:01:57:00	01:01:58:00	PROFESSIONALISM.
01:01:58:00	01:02:00:00	I ALSO REPRESENTED THIS AREA AS
01:02:00:00	01:02:03:00	A CITY COUNCILOR FOR A NUMBER
01:02:03:00	01:02:04:00	OF YEARS AS WELL PRIOR TO
01:02:04:00	01:02:07:00	REDISTRICTING.
01:02:07:00	01:02:08:00	I KNOW THE AREA VERY WELL.
01:02:08:00	01:02:12:00	I'M GOING TO BE VOTING NO AND
01:02:12:00	01:02:12:00	IT'S NOT PERSONAL BUT THE
01:02:12:00	01:02:15:00	REASON I'M VOTING NO IS BECAUSE
01:02:15:00	01:02:18:00	I BELIEVE IT'LL TAKE AWAY A
01:02:18:00	01:02:19:00	VOICE FOR COMMUNITY
01:02:19:00	01:02:22:00	ORGANIZATIONS, NEIGHBORHOOD
01:02:22:00	01:02:23:00	ORGANIZATIONS AND THE
01:02:23:00	01:02:26:00	DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
01:02:26:00	01:02:26:00	I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT THAT
01:02:26:00	01:02:30:00	RESIDENTS HAVE INPUT AT THE BPA
01:02:30:00	01:02:34:00	AT THE ZBA.
01:02:34:00	01:02:35:00	I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR
01:02:35:00	01:02:37:00	RESIDENTS TO HAVE THAT CRITICAL
01:02:37:00	01:02:38:00	INPUT IN ELECTED OFFICIALS.
01:02:38:00	01:02:41:00	LISTEN TO THEM CLEARLY AND
01:02:41:00	01:02:41:00	CAREFULLY.
01:02:41:00	01:02:44:00	I BELIEVE THIS TEXT AMENDMENT
01:02:44:00	01:02:45:00	WOULD CHANGE THAT.
01:02:45:00	01:02:49:00	IT WOULD MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE
01:02:49:00	01:02:49:00	DIFFICULT FOR THE VOICES
01:02:49:00	01:02:54:00	OF RESIDENTS TO BE HEARD AND
01:02:54:00	01:02:55:00	CHAIR.
01:02:55:00	01:02:55:00	BEING THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
01:02:55:00	01:02:56:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY ON THE FLOOR.
01:02:56:00	01:02:59:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
01:02:59:00	01:02:59:00	AND THANK YOU, COUNCILOR DURKIN
01:02:59:00	01:03:02:00	FOR THE HEARING.
01:03:02:00	01:03:02:00	IT WAS INFORMATIVE AND I WAS
01:03:02:00	01:03:03:00	HAPPY THAT YOU KNOW,
01:03:03:00	01:03:05:00	STAKEHOLDERS IN THE
01:03:05:00	01:03:06:00	NEIGHBORHOOD WERE HERE TO
01:03:06:00	01:03:06:00	SPEAK.
01:03:06:00	01:03:09:00	BUT THIS AMENDMENT SEEKS TO
01:03:09:00	01:03:09:00	RECLASSIFY RESIDENTIAL USES
01:03:09:00	01:03:13:00	FROM CONDITIONAL TO ALLOW
01:03:13:00	01:03:13:00	THEREBY STREAMLINING THE
01:03:13:00	01:03:14:00	DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND
01:03:14:00	01:03:17:00	FACILITATING THE CREATION
01:03:17:00	01:03:17:00	OF MUCH NEEDED HOUSING IN THE
01:03:17:00	01:03:18:00	CITY.
01:03:18:00	01:03:21:00	HOWEVER, WHILE I ACKNOWLEDGE
01:03:21:00	01:03:21:00	THE PRESSING NEED FOR
01:03:21:00	01:03:24:00	ADDITIONAL HOUSING, I HARBOR
01:03:24:00	01:03:25:00	CONCERNS REGARDING THE
01:03:25:00	01:03:25:00	POTENTIAL DIMINISHMENT
01:03:25:00	01:03:28:00	OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN THE
01:03:28:00	01:03:29:00	DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
01:03:29:00	01:03:29:00	THE CURRENT REQUIREMENT FOR
01:03:29:00	01:03:33:00	CONDITION OR USE PERMIT SERVES
01:03:33:00	01:03:33:00	AS A MECHANISM FOR COMMUNITY
01:03:33:00	01:03:36:00	ENGAGEMENT ENSURING THAT
01:03:36:00	01:03:37:00	RESIDENTS HAVE A VOICE IN
01:03:37:00	01:03:38:00	SHAPING THE CHARACTER AND
01:03:38:00	01:03:41:00	FUTURE OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS.
01:03:41:00	01:03:42:00	I BELIEVE THAT BY REMOVING THIS
01:03:42:00	01:03:45:00	REQUIREMENT WE RISK SIDELINING
01:03:45:00	01:03:45:00	VALUABLE COMMUNITY INPUT AND
01:03:45:00	01:03:48:00	ALLOWING PROJECTS TO PROCEED
01:03:48:00	01:03:49:00	WITHOUT ADEQUATE LOCAL
01:03:49:00	01:03:49:00	OVERSIGHT.
01:03:49:00	01:03:53:00	IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT AS WE
01:03:53:00	01:03:54:00	ENDEAVOR TO ADDRESS THE HOUSING
01:03:54:00	01:03:57:00	SHORTAGE WE DO NOT COMPROMISE
01:03:57:00	01:03:57:00	THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESSES THAT
01:03:57:00	01:03:58:00	EMPOWER RESIDENTS TO
01:03:58:00	01:04:01:00	PARTICIPATE IN DECISIONS THAT
01:04:01:00	01:04:01:00	AFFECT THEIR COMMUNITIES
01:04:01:00	01:04:01:00	DIRECTLY.
01:04:01:00	01:04:05:00	I URGE THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER
01:04:05:00	01:04:05:00	IMPLEMENTING ALTERNATIVE
01:04:05:00	01:04:08:00	MEASURES THAT WILL PRESERVE AND
01:04:08:00	01:04:09:00	PROMOTE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN
01:04:09:00	01:04:10:00	THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS WITHIN
01:04:10:00	01:04:13:00	THE BULL FINCH TRIANGLE
01:04:13:00	01:04:13:00	DISTRICT.
01:04:13:00	01:04:13:00	THANK YOU.
01:04:13:00	01:04:14:00	THANK YOU.
01:04:14:00	01:04:16:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES COMES FROM
01:04:16:00	01:04:17:00	HERE ON THE FLOOR.
01:04:17:00	01:04:20:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
01:04:20:00	01:04:20:00	THROUGH THE CHAIR.
01:04:20:00	01:04:21:00	I'M JUST SEEKING A LITTLE BIT
01:04:21:00	01:04:21:00	OF FLAHERTY.
01:04:21:00	01:04:24:00	I DO BELIEVE I DON'T KNOW MAYBE
01:04:24:00	01:04:25:00	IT WAS LAST YEAR WHEN WE WERE
01:04:25:00	01:04:28:00	HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT
01:04:28:00	01:04:32:00	ABOLISHING THE BPA AND BRINGING
01:04:32:00	01:04:32:00	IT OVER TO THE PARK, BRINGING
01:04:32:00	01:04:33:00	THE PLANNING INTO THE CITY AND
01:04:33:00	01:04:36:00	I THINK I REMEMBER THAT VERY
01:04:36:00	01:04:36:00	TRAUMATIC MOMENT WHERE I WAS
01:04:36:00	01:04:39:00	REALLY TRYING TO STOP THE VOTE
01:04:39:00	01:04:40:00	FROM HAPPENING AND I WAS REALLY
01:04:40:00	01:04:41:00	TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW DO WE
01:04:41:00	01:04:43:00	GET MORE COMMUNITY VOICE IN TO
01:04:43:00	01:04:47:00	THE PROCESSES OF HOW WE GO
01:04:47:00	01:04:48:00	ABOUT DOING BUSINESS IN THE
01:04:48:00	01:04:50:00	CITY OF BOSTON.
01:04:50:00	01:04:51:00	AND I'M JUST CURIOUS IF ANYONE
01:04:51:00	01:04:52:00	HERE IN THE BODY CAN HELP
01:04:52:00	01:04:54:00	ME UNDERSTAND HOW THE
01:04:54:00	01:04:54:00	UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE OF OUR
01:04:54:00	01:04:57:00	VOTE BY ALLOWING PLANNING TO
01:04:57:00	01:04:58:00	HAPPEN IN THE CITY STILL FEELS
01:04:58:00	01:05:01:00	LIKE IF I'M HEARING MY
01:05:01:00	01:05:02:00	COLLEAGUES CORRECTLY THAT
01:05:02:00	01:05:05:00	COMMUNITY VOICE IS NOT BEING
01:05:05:00	01:05:05:00	UPLIFTED SO I JUST AM SEEKING
01:05:05:00	01:05:06:00	SOME FLAHERTY.
01:05:06:00	01:05:09:00	WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO FIX
01:05:09:00	01:05:12:00	THAT PROBLEM WHEN WE ABOLISH
01:05:12:00	01:05:13:00	THE BPA AND BROUGHT IT INTO THE
01:05:13:00	01:05:16:00	CITY OF BOSTON?
01:05:16:00	01:05:20:00	I KNOW AND IF THAT'S THE CASE
01:05:20:00	01:05:24:00	THEN I'M JUST CURIOUS WHY FOLKS
01:05:24:00	01:05:24:00	AREN'T FEELING HEARD.
01:05:24:00	01:05:28:00	SO I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU WANT TO
01:05:28:00	01:05:29:00	ADDRESS THE QUESTION TO BUT
01:05:29:00	01:05:29:00	IT'S A QUESTION THAT I HAVE
01:05:29:00	01:05:31:00	THINKING THROUGH THE CHAIR
01:05:31:00	01:05:32:00	COUNCILOR DURKIN WOULD IF YOU'D
01:05:32:00	01:05:33:00	LIKE TO RESPOND YOU MAY.
01:05:33:00	01:05:36:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH,
01:05:36:00	01:05:36:00	CONCILOR MEJIA HERE.
01:05:36:00	01:05:37:00	I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
01:05:37:00	01:05:40:00	TO NOTE THAT THE DOWNTOWN NORTH
01:05:40:00	01:05:40:00	BUSINESS ASSOCIATION, THE WEST
01:05:40:00	01:05:43:00	END CIVIC ASSOCIATION AND THE
01:05:43:00	01:05:44:00	WESTERN MUSEUM ARE ALL IN
01:05:44:00	01:05:46:00	SUPPORT OF THIS AMENDMENT
01:05:46:00	01:05:47:00	CHANGE.
01:05:47:00	01:05:47:00	SO BY LISTENING TO COMMUNITY
01:05:47:00	01:05:51:00	I'M ASKING YOU TO VOTE YES AND
01:05:51:00	01:05:52:00	LISTEN TO COMMUNITY IN THIS
01:05:52:00	01:05:54:00	MOMENT WHO ARE SUPPORTIVE
01:05:54:00	01:05:55:00	OF THIS AMENDMENT.
01:05:55:00	01:05:56:00	I ACTUALLY NEED TO GIVE A
01:05:56:00	01:05:58:00	LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND TO THE
01:05:58:00	01:05:59:00	ENTIRE COUNCIL.
01:05:59:00	01:06:02:00	THIS ACTUALLY CAME ABOUT
01:06:02:00	01:06:02:00	BECAUSE COMMUNITY WAS UPSET
01:06:02:00	01:06:06:00	WITH A LAB DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS
01:06:06:00	01:06:07:00	GOING ON IN THE WEST END.
01:06:07:00	01:06:09:00	THAT WAS THE TWO TO DO FRIEND
01:06:09:00	01:06:10:00	PROJECT AND MEMBERS OF THE
01:06:10:00	01:06:13:00	COMMUNITY ASKED COULD THIS BE
01:06:13:00	01:06:14:00	HOUSING AND THE DEVELOPER'S
01:06:14:00	01:06:18:00	RESPONSE WAS I'M ACTUALLY A LAB
01:06:18:00	01:06:22:00	IS ALLOWED IN THE GULF AND
01:06:22:00	01:06:22:00	TRIANGLE AND HOUSING IS
01:06:22:00	01:06:22:00	CONDITIONAL.
01:06:22:00	01:06:25:00	SO BASICALLY OUR CURRENT IF YOU
01:06:25:00	01:06:29:00	WERE TO TAKE OUR ZONING AS OUR
01:06:29:00	01:06:33:00	VALUES IN FOR A SPECIFIC AREA
01:06:33:00	01:06:34:00	AS OUR VALUES RIGHT NOW SAY
01:06:34:00	01:06:37:00	HOUSING IS LESS IMPORTANT THAN
01:06:37:00	01:06:38:00	LAB AND THE AND TRIANGLE AND
01:06:38:00	01:06:40:00	THEN I'LL JUST ADD A LITTLE BIT
01:06:40:00	01:06:40:00	OF HISTORY THAT I LEARNED FROM
01:06:40:00	01:06:43:00	THE WEST END MUSEUM DIRECTOR
01:06:43:00	01:06:44:00	SEBASTIAN BELAFONTE WHO MANY
01:06:44:00	01:06:47:00	OF YOU NOW HE ACTUALLY GOT UP
01:06:47:00	01:06:48:00	DURING THE HEARING AND I HAD
01:06:48:00	01:06:51:00	HIM COME TO THAT TO TESTIFY
01:06:51:00	01:06:55:00	ABOUT SPECIFICALLY THE
01:06:55:00	01:06:55:00	REASONING FOR WHY THE ZONING IS
01:06:55:00	01:06:58:00	THE WAY IT IS RIGHT NOW.
01:06:58:00	01:06:59:00	AND SO THE BLUEFIN TRIANGLE'S
01:06:59:00	01:07:02:00	HISTORY IS THAT IT USED TO BE
01:07:02:00	01:07:03:00	AN INDUSTRIAL ZONE AND BUT IT
01:07:03:00	01:07:06:00	WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGN BY
01:07:06:00	01:07:07:00	CHARLES BULL FINCH AS SOMETHING
01:07:07:00	01:07:08:00	THAT WOULD BE RESIDENTIAL
01:07:08:00	01:07:11:00	SIMILAR TO BEACON HILL AND IT
01:07:11:00	01:07:14:00	ENDED UP BEING THAT THING AFTER
01:07:14:00	01:07:15:00	THING ENDED UP BEING INDUSTRIAL
01:07:15:00	01:07:17:00	YOU KNOW, PARCEL AFTER PROPOSAL
01:07:17:00	01:07:18:00	ENDED UP BEING INDUSTRIAL.
01:07:18:00	01:07:21:00	SO IT WAS MADE AN AREA FOR ALL
01:07:21:00	01:07:25:00	OF THAT INDUSTRY IS GONE NOW
01:07:25:00	01:07:26:00	AND MOSTLY WE'RE LOOKING AT
01:07:26:00	01:07:33:00	RESTAURANTS AND AND SORRY AND
01:07:33:00	01:07:34:00	OTHER USES THAT ARE ALLOWED
01:07:34:00	01:07:37:00	LIKE HOTELS.
01:07:37:00	01:07:39:00	I ALSO HAVE SPOKEN TO LOCAL 26
01:07:39:00	01:07:40:00	THERE ARE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS
01:07:40:00	01:07:40:00	AMENDMENT.
01:07:40:00	01:07:41:00	WHAT WE'RE GOING TO FIND IS
01:07:41:00	01:07:44:00	THAT WE DON'T FIX THE ZONING
01:07:44:00	01:07:46:00	AND THE BOTH TRIANGLE THAT
01:07:46:00	01:07:47:00	WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BUNCH
01:07:47:00	01:07:47:00	OF SMALL NONUNION HOTELS
01:07:47:00	01:07:48:00	APPEARING BECAUSE THEY ARE
01:07:48:00	01:07:51:00	ALLOWED AND THEN I'LL JUST
01:07:51:00	01:07:51:00	ADDRESS THE QUESTION
01:07:51:00	01:07:54:00	OF COMMUNITY PROCESS RIGHT NOW
01:07:54:00	01:07:58:00	IF YOU'RE DOING A SMALL PROJECT
01:07:58:00	01:07:59:00	AT THE BPD SO YOU WANT TO

01:14:32:00	01:14:33:00	PUBLIC SAFETY POLICIES.
01:14:33:00	01:14:34:00	THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS
01:14:34:00	01:14:37:00	HAS HAPPENED TIME AND TIME
01:14:37:00	01:14:38:00	AGAIN AND I THINK UNFORTUNATELY
01:14:38:00	01:14:41:00	COUNCIL SANTANA IT HAS BEEN IN
01:14:41:00	01:14:42:00	THE EDUCATION AND PUBLIC SAFETY
01:14:42:00	01:14:45:00	HEARINGS SO YOU HAVE GRACIOUSLY
01:14:45:00	01:14:46:00	SHARED THEM KNOWING THAT WE'VE
01:14:46:00	01:14:48:00	OFTENTIMES HAD TO RESCHEDULE OR
01:14:48:00	01:14:49:00	CUT SHORT THE CONVERSATION.
01:14:49:00	01:14:53:00	AND SO THIS HAS UNDERMINED AND
01:14:53:00	01:14:57:00	IT SHOWS THE ADMINISTRATION ITS
01:14:57:00	01:14:57:00	UNWILLINGNESS TO ENGAGE WITH
01:14:57:00	01:14:58:00	THE COUNCIL IN GOOD FAITH.
01:14:58:00	01:15:01:00	THAT BEING SAID, I WANT TO
01:15:01:00	01:15:01:00	SINCERELY THANK THOSE WHO DID
01:15:01:00	01:15:03:00	ATTEND AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE
01:15:03:00	01:15:04:00	DISCUSSION.
01:15:04:00	01:15:04:00	CAPTAIN TIMOTHY CONNELLY OF THE
01:15:04:00	01:15:08:00	BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT'S
01:15:08:00	01:15:08:00	HOMELAND SECURITY DIVISION
01:15:08:00	01:15:09:00	ADRIAN JORDAN, CHIEF
01:15:09:00	01:15:12:00	OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.
01:15:12:00	01:15:13:00	DEPUTY CHIEF MATTHEW CARNEY AND
01:15:13:00	01:15:16:00	ED CASH, PRESIDENT OF FRONTIER
01:15:16:00	01:15:16:00	SECURITY STRATEGIES TOOK THE
01:15:16:00	01:15:20:00	TIME TO PARTICIPATE AND DID
01:15:20:00	01:15:20:00	PROVIDE VALUABLE EXPERTISE.
01:15:20:00	01:15:24:00	THEIR INSIGHTS ON EMERGENCY
01:15:24:00	01:15:24:00	PREPAREDNESS, INTELLIGENCE
01:15:24:00	01:15:27:00	COORDINATION AND BEST PRACTICES
01:15:27:00	01:15:28:00	FOR SECURING LARGE PUBLIC
01:15:28:00	01:15:28:00	EVENTS WERE CRITICAL TO THE
01:15:28:00	01:15:29:00	DISCUSSION.
01:15:29:00	01:15:31:00	AND I APPRECIATE THEIR
01:15:31:00	01:15:32:00	WILLINGNESS TO SHOW UP EVEN
01:15:32:00	01:15:35:00	THOUGH OTHERS DID NOT.
01:15:35:00	01:15:36:00	HOWEVER, THE ABSENCE OF OTHER
01:15:36:00	01:15:39:00	KEY CITY OFFICIALS WE ACROSS
01:15:39:00	01:15:40:00	REQUESTED SENDS A CLEAR MESSAGE
01:15:40:00	01:15:41:00	THAT THE ADMINISTRATION DOES
01:15:41:00	01:15:44:00	NOT WANT TO PRIORITIZE THIS
01:15:44:00	01:15:44:00	ISSUE THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.
01:15:44:00	01:15:47:00	PUBLIC SAFETY IS NOT A
01:15:47:00	01:15:48:00	POLITICAL ISSUE.
01:15:48:00	01:15:48:00	IT'S A FUNDAMENTAL
01:15:48:00	01:15:50:00	RESPONSIBILITY OF CITY
01:15:50:00	01:15:51:00	LEADERSHIP.
01:15:51:00	01:15:51:00	WHEN WE LOOK AT RECENT
01:15:51:00	01:15:55:00	TRAGEDIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY,
01:15:55:00	01:15:55:00	WE SEE THE CONSEQUENCES
01:15:55:00	01:15:56:00	OF INADEQUATE PLANNING AND
01:15:56:00	01:15:58:00	SECURITY.
01:15:58:00	01:15:59:00	WE CANNOT AFFORD TO WAIT UNTIL
01:15:59:00	01:16:00:00	SOMETHING HAPPENS HERE IN
01:16:00:00	01:16:02:00	BOSTON TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY.
01:16:02:00	01:16:03:00	DESPITE THE ADMINISTRATION'S
01:16:03:00	01:16:06:00	CONTINUED DISREGARD FOR THIS
01:16:06:00	01:16:07:00	COUNCIL'S ROLE, WE WILL NOT BE
01:16:07:00	01:16:07:00	DETERRED.
01:16:07:00	01:16:10:00	WE HAVE AGREED TO RESCHEDULE
01:16:10:00	01:16:10:00	THIS HEARING ALONG WITH THE
01:16:10:00	01:16:14:00	OTHER CO-SPONSOR CHAIRS AND THE
01:16:14:00	01:16:15:00	CHAIR AND WE FULLY EXPECT THE
01:16:15:00	01:16:17:00	ADMINISTRATION TO SHOW UP NEXT
01:16:17:00	01:16:18:00	TIME AND ENGAGE IN THE
01:16:18:00	01:16:18:00	CONVERSATION.
01:16:18:00	01:16:21:00	THE PEOPLE OF BOSTON DESERVE.
01:16:21:00	01:16:22:00	I CALL ON THE ADMINISTRATION TO
01:16:22:00	01:16:25:00	STOP DISMISSING OUR ROLE AS A
01:16:25:00	01:16:26:00	LEGISLATIVE BODY AND TO
01:16:26:00	01:16:26:00	RECOGNIZE THAT WHEN THE
01:16:26:00	01:16:29:00	COUNCIL CALLS A HEARING ON
01:16:29:00	01:16:30:00	PUBLIC SAFETY OR ON ANY ON ANY
01:16:30:00	01:16:33:00	ISSUE IT SHOULDN'T BE OPTIONAL.
01:16:33:00	01:16:34:00	IT'S AN ESSENTIAL FORUM FOR
01:16:34:00	01:16:37:00	DISCUSSION, ACCOUNTABILITY AND
01:16:37:00	01:16:37:00	PROBLEM SOLVING.
01:16:37:00	01:16:40:00	I URGE MY COLLEAGUES TO STAND
01:16:40:00	01:16:40:00	WITH ME IN DEMANDING THE
01:16:40:00	01:16:41:00	RESPECT THIS BODY DESERVES AND
01:16:41:00	01:16:44:00	ENSURING THAT WHEN WE RECONVENE
01:16:44:00	01:16:45:00	WE HAVE THE PARTICIPATION
01:16:45:00	01:16:48:00	NECESSARY TO MAKE THE REAL
01:16:48:00	01:16:48:00	PROGRESS NEEDED ON THIS
01:16:48:00	01:16:48:00	CRITICAL ISSUE.

01:17:01:00	01:17:05:00	I ALSO WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT

01:17:17:00	01:17:18:00	MEETING.
01:17:18:00	01:17:21:00	I HAD SPECIFIC QUESTIONS
01:17:21:00	01:17:24:00	RELATING TO THESE DEPARTMENTS
01:17:24:00	01:17:25:00	IN PREPARATION OF A MAJOR EVENT

01:17:28:00	01:17:29:00	EVACUATION DAY PARADE.
01:17:29:00	01:17:33:00	I DID WANT TO ASK THEM SPECIFIC
01:17:33:00	01:17:36:00	QUESTIONS ABOUT ABOUT SECURITY

01:18:07:00	01:18:10:00	I'VE COORDINATED TO DISCUSS THE
01:18:10:00	01:18:11:00	PARADE FROM LAST YEAR AND

01:18:18:00	01:18:18:00	WE'VE MET CONSISTENTLY EACH
01:18:18:00	01:18:22:00	MONTH AND WE EXCHANGE GOOD
01:18:22:00	01:18:22:00	IDEAS.
01:18:22:00	01:18:26:00	WE LISTEN TO EACH OTHER.
01:18:26:00	01:18:27:00	WE DISAGREED BUT WE'VE COME TO

01:18:33:00	01:18:36:00	WITH OUR PUBLIC SAFETY
01:18:36:00	01:18:36:00	PROFESSIONALS.
01:18:36:00	01:18:37:00	BUT THIS WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
01:18:37:00	01:18:40:00	US CITY COUNCILS TO ASK
01:18:40:00	01:18:43:00	QUESTIONS ALSO TO THE

01:18:47:00	01:18:48:00	AGAIN, THEY DID NOT ATTEND.
01:18:48:00	01:18:51:00	THEY FAILED TO SEND A
01:18:51:00	01:18:51:00	REPRESENTATIVE.
01:18:51:00	01:18:54:00	IT WAS DISAPPOINTING.

01:18:58:00	01:19:02:00	BUT HAVING SAID THAT I STILL
01:19:02:00	01:19:03:00	THINK THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY
01:19:03:00	01:19:06:00	FOR US COUNCIL SANTANA TO

01:19:17:00	01:19:18:00	TO ASK QUESTIONS RELATING TO
01:19:18:00	01:19:22:00	SPECIFIC EVENTS IN THEIR

01:28:48:00	01:28:49:00	ONE FOR TWO WHICH WAS A HOME
01:28:49:00	01:28:52:00	RULE PETITION WHICH IS ENTITLED

01:28:52:00	01:28:55:00	OF BOSTON TO INCREASE ITS
01:28:55:00	01:28:56:00	RESIDENTIAL EXEMPTION.
01:28:56:00	01:28:59:00	THIS PROPOSAL AIMS TO PROVIDE
01:28:59:00	01:28:59:00	SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY TAX RELIEF

01:29:18:00	01:29:21:00	OF THIS INITIATIVE.
01:29:21:00	01:29:22:00	HOWEVER, IT IS CLEAR THAT
01:29:22:00	01:29:22:00	FURTHER COLLABORATION AND
01:29:22:00	01:29:25:00	DELIBERATION A NECESSARY TO

01:29:37:00	01:29:40:00	IN THIS PROCESS.
01:29:40:00	01:29:41:00	BY WORKING TOGETHER WE CAN
01:29:41:00	01:29:41:00	ENACT THIS LEGISLATION AND

01:29:44:00	01:29:45:00	RELIEF THAT OUR RESIDENTS

01:29:45:00	01:29:48:00	LET US REMAIN COMMITTED TO THIS
01:29:48:00	01:29:49:00	CAUSE AND CONTINUE OUR EFFORTS

01:29:59:00	01:30:00:00	TO 69 WHICH WAS ON MONDAY.

01:30:03:00	01:30:06:00	RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY VALUES IN
01:30:06:00	01:30:07:00	THE ASSESSING PROCESS.
01:30:07:00	01:30:10:00	THIS CONVERSATION WAS LONG
01:30:10:00	01:30:11:00	OVERDUE AND I WANT TO THANK MY

01:30:17:00	01:30:18:00	LIGHT ON THIS CRITICAL ISSUE.
01:30:18:00	01:30:21:00	DURING THE HEARING WE HEARD
01:30:21:00	01:30:22:00	FROM HOMEOWNERS WHO HAVE SEEN
01:30:22:00	01:30:22:00	DRASTIC INCREASES IN THEIR

01:30:25:00	01:30:26:00	SUBSEQUENT TAX BILLS OFTEN
01:30:26:00	01:30:29:00	WITHOUT CLEAR JUSTIFICATION.
01:30:29:00	01:30:30:00	MANY RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT
01:30:30:00	01:30:33:00	INCONSISTENCIES BETWEEN SIMILAR
01:30:33:00	01:30:34:00	PROPERTIES AND A LACK
01:30:34:00	01:30:35:00	OF TRANSPARENCY ON HOW
01:30:35:00	01:30:37:00	ASSESSMENTS ARE DETERMINED.
01:30:37:00	01:30:40:00	WE ALSO DISCUSSED THE CITY'S

01:30:51:00	01:30:52:00	EXPLANATION FROM THE ASSESSOR'S
01:30:52:00	01:30:55:00	OFFICE, IT IS CLEAR THAT MORE
01:30:55:00	01:30:56:00	MUST BE DONE TO ENSURE THAT
01:30:56:00	01:30:56:00	RESIDENTS UNDERSTAND THE
01:30:56:00	01:30:58:00	PROCESS AND HAVE THE RESOURCES
01:30:58:00	01:31:02:00	TO CHALLENGE UNFAIR ASSESSMENTS
01:31:02:00	01:31:02:00	.

01:42:04:00	01:42:04:00	JUST THANK YOU TO
01:42:04:00	01:42:05:00	COUNCILOR PEPEN FOR ADDING
01:42:05:00	01:42:07:00	ME AS AN ORIGINAL CO-SPONSOR
01:42:07:00	01:42:07:00	HERE.
01:42:07:00	01:42:08:00	I BELIEVE THIS IS A TOPIC THAT
01:42:08:00	01:42:09:00	ME AND HIM HAVE DISCUSSED EVEN
01:42:09:00	01:42:11:00	PRIOR TO BEING SWORN INTO THIS
01:42:11:00	01:42:11:00	JOB AND I LOOK FORWARD TO
01:42:11:00	01:42:12:00	WORKING WITH HIM.
01:42:12:00	01:42:15:00	I ALSO KNOW THAT YOU KNOW I
01:42:15:00	01:42:16:00	THINK ABOUT MY OLDEST SON WHO
01:42:16:00	01:42:19:00	RIGHT NOW HE'S HOME SICK AND I
01:42:19:00	01:42:19:00	HOPE YOU'RE FEELING BETTER.
01:42:19:00	01:42:20:00	HE'S NOT HOME FROM SCHOOL BUT
01:42:20:00	01:42:21:00	HE'S AT THE AGE WHERE HE CAN
01:42:21:00	01:42:23:00	START TO WALK TO SCHOOL AND OUR
01:42:23:00	01:42:24:00	SCHOOL IS ON THE SAME STREET WE
01:42:24:00	01:42:26:00	LIVE ON.
01:42:26:00	01:42:27:00	BUT THE REASON I DON'T SEND HIM
01:42:27:00	01:42:29:00	UP EVEN 15 HOUSES UP ON HIS OWN
01:42:29:00	01:42:30:00	IS BECAUSE I'M WORRIED ABOUT
01:42:30:00	01:42:30:00	THE SAFETY OF THE STREETS AND
01:42:30:00	01:42:33:00	HIM CROSSING THE ONE STREET HE
01:42:33:00	01:42:33:00	HAS TO CROSS.
01:42:33:00	01:42:34:00	AND SO I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE
01:42:34:00	01:42:37:00	THIS COME THROUGH BECAUSE I
01:42:37:00	01:42:37:00	COULD GET TO WORK A LOT EARLIER
01:42:37:00	01:42:41:00	IF HE JUST WALKED UP ON HIS OWN

01:44:54:00	01:44:55:00	AND SOUL OF MATTAPAN.

01:45:21:00	01:45:21:00	.
01:45:21:00	01:45:22:00	AND YET MATTAPAN SQUARE HAS
01:45:22:00	01:45:22:00	HISTORICALLY BEEN TREATED
01:45:22:00	01:45:24:00	DIFFERENTLY.
01:45:24:00	01:45:25:00	BEING GIVEN A HARSH NARRATIVE
01:45:25:00	01:45:26:00	AS IT REBUILDS FROM DECADES

01:45:28:00	01:45:29:00	POLICIES AND INVESTMENT
01:45:29:00	01:45:29:00	NEGLECT.

01:45:32:00	01:45:35:00	COMMUNITY MEETINGS OR EVENTS

01:45:35:00	01:45:39:00	CAFÉ JOOSUB I SEE SO MUCH
01:45:39:00	01:45:39:00	COMMUNITY STRENGTH THAT
01:45:39:00	01:45:40:00	DESERVES TO BE CELEBRATED AND
01:45:40:00	01:45:42:00	SUPPORTED.
01:45:42:00	01:45:43:00	THAT'S WHY I'M ADVOCATING FOR
01:45:43:00	01:45:43:00	THE REVITALIZATION OF MATTAPAN
01:45:43:00	01:45:46:00	SQUARE THROUGH THE
01:45:46:00	01:45:47:00	ESTABLISHMENT OF A TASK FORCE
01:45:47:00	01:45:50:00	THE MATTAPAN SQUARE TASK FORCE
01:45:50:00	01:45:50:00	WILL BE A COLLABORATIVE
01:45:50:00	01:45:51:00	APPROACH TO PROBLEM SOLVING.
01:45:51:00	01:45:53:00	THE OBSTACLE STOPPING
01:45:53:00	01:45:54:00	BUSINESSES OWNERS FROM
01:45:54:00	01:45:54:00	EXPANDING THEIR STORES
01:45:54:00	01:45:58:00	RESIDENTS FROM RENOVATING THEIR

01:46:02:00	01:46:02:00	THE UPCOMING BLUE HOUSE
01:46:02:00	01:46:02:00	REDESIGN.
01:46:02:00	01:46:05:00	THIS TASK FORCE WOULD ALSO
01:46:05:00	01:46:06:00	THINK STRATEGICALLY ABOUT THE
01:46:06:00	01:46:07:00	PROBLEMS THAT PERSIST IN
01:46:07:00	01:46:07:00	MATTAPAN SQUARE.
01:46:07:00	01:46:09:00	I CONSTANTLY HEAR FROM
01:46:09:00	01:46:10:00	RESIDENTS ABOUT COMPLAINTS
01:46:10:00	01:46:11:00	OF DOUBLE PARKING ON BLUE HILL
01:46:11:00	01:46:13:00	AVENUE.
01:46:13:00	01:46:14:00	THE LACK OF ENFORCEMENT IN THE
01:46:14:00	01:46:14:00	MUNICIPAL LOTS.
01:46:14:00	01:46:17:00	THERE'S A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE
01:46:17:00	01:46:18:00	OF THE TEAM THE TRASH BEHIND
01:46:18:00	01:46:19:00	THE T-MOBILE STORE IN THE
01:46:19:00	01:46:21:00	AMERICAN FRUIT BASKET WHERE
01:46:21:00	01:46:21:00	CODE ENFORCEMENT DOES AN
01:46:21:00	01:46:22:00	AMAZING JOB EVERY WEEK OF GOING
01:46:22:00	01:46:25:00	OUT AND TAGGING IT BUT IT JUST
01:46:25:00	01:46:25:00	CONTINUES TO OVERFILL AND
01:46:25:00	01:46:28:00	OVERFILL WEEK AFTER WEEK.
01:46:28:00	01:46:29:00	THE TASK FORCE WOULD ASSIST IN
01:46:29:00	01:46:32:00	BUILDING AUTOMATIC AND MAIN
01:46:32:00	01:46:32:00	STREETS OFFICE AS WELL THAT

01:46:40:00	01:46:43:00	TO THE SQUARE.
01:46:43:00	01:46:44:00	BUT AT THE MOMENT THERE'S A
01:46:44:00	01:46:45:00	HUGE GAP FOR THAT IN MATTAPAN
01:46:45:00	01:46:47:00	AND THE TASK FORCE WOULD HELP
01:46:47:00	01:46:48:00	FACILITATE COMMUNITY EVENTS TO

01:51:29:00	01:51:30:00	ADDRESS DISPLACEMENT
01:51:30:00	01:51:30:00	OF BOSTONIANS AS A RESULT
01:51:30:00	01:51:33:00	OF NEW AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
01:51:33:00	01:51:33:00	BECAUSE AS WE ALL KNOW
01:51:33:00	01:51:34:00	DISPLACEMENT IS A REAL CONCERN
01:51:34:00	01:51:36:00	AND IS CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE
01:51:36:00	01:51:37:00	IN OUR CITY.
01:51:37:00	01:51:37:00	URBAN DEVELOPMENT HAS
01:51:37:00	01:51:40:00	HISTORICALLY BEEN ACCOMPANIED
01:51:40:00	01:51:41:00	BY DISPLACEMENT AND CONCERNS
01:51:41:00	01:51:42:00	AND FEARS ABOUT IT ARE REAL AND
01:51:42:00	01:51:44:00	VALID.
01:51:44:00	01:51:45:00	IT'S SOMETHING I AND I KNOW ALL
01:51:45:00	01:51:48:00	OF YOU TAKE SERIOUSLY.
01:51:48:00	01:51:48:00	OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS
01:51:48:00	01:51:49:00	MANY OF OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE
01:51:49:00	01:51:52:00	DRAMATICALLY CHANGED.
01:51:52:00	01:51:52:00	RENTS HAVE RISEN AND
01:51:52:00	01:51:53:00	DEMOGRAPHICS HAVE CHANGED.
01:51:53:00	01:51:55:00	BOSTON IS EXPERIENCING HOUSING
01:51:55:00	01:51:56:00	CRISIS AND MANY PEOPLE ARE
01:51:56:00	01:51:56:00	LOOKING TO LIVE HERE INCLUDING
01:51:56:00	01:51:59:00	LONG TIME RESIDENTS, THEIR
01:51:59:00	01:52:00:00	CHILDREN WHO WANT TO STAY IN
01:52:00:00	01:52:00:00	THEIR HOMETOWN.
01:52:00:00	01:52:04:00	STUDENTS AND WORKERS WHO ARE
01:52:04:00	01:52:04:00	FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE CITY
01:52:04:00	01:52:07:00	AND PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING CALL
01:52:07:00	01:52:08:00	BOSTON THEIR NEW HOME.
01:52:08:00	01:52:08:00	CURRENTLY THERE ISN'T ENOUGH
01:52:08:00	01:52:12:00	SUPPLY TO MEET THE HOUSING
01:52:12:00	01:52:12:00	DEMAND AND SUPPLY THAT DOES
01:52:12:00	01:52:15:00	EXIST IS OFTEN TOO FAR OUT
01:52:15:00	01:52:15:00	OF REACH FOR BOSTON RESIDENTS.
01:52:15:00	01:52:18:00	THE AFFORDABILITY AND SUPPLY
01:52:18:00	01:52:19:00	CONSISTENTLY SHRINKS AS RENTS
01:52:19:00	01:52:22:00	AND PRICES INCREASE AS
01:52:22:00	01:52:23:00	CONSUMERS WITH MORE MONEY COME
01:52:23:00	01:52:26:00	INTO OUR CITY AND IMPACT THEIR
01:52:26:00	01:52:26:00	HOUSING MARKET.
01:52:26:00	01:52:27:00	THIS IS WHERE BOSTON CURRENTLY
01:52:27:00	01:52:29:00	STANDS.
01:52:29:00	01:52:30:00	DEMAND FOR HOUSING EXCEEDS THE
01:52:30:00	01:52:31:00	SUPPLY OF HOUSING TO REDUCE
01:52:31:00	01:52:34:00	DEMAND.
01:52:34:00	01:52:34:00	WE NEED A LARGER SUPPLY.
01:52:34:00	01:52:35:00	ONE OF THE TOOLS WE HAVE IN OUR
01:52:35:00	01:52:37:00	BELT IS A CITY ZONING CODE.
01:52:37:00	01:52:38:00	BY MODERNIZING OUR ZONING
01:52:38:00	01:52:38:00	CODE WE CAN LEGALIZE
01:52:38:00	01:52:42:00	DEVELOPMENT IN MORE OF THE CITY
01:52:42:00	01:52:42:00	WHICH ALLOW FOR A LARGE SUPPLY
01:52:42:00	01:52:45:00	OF DEMAND.
01:52:45:00	01:52:46:00	SIMPLY PUT, IF WE MAKE MORE
01:52:46:00	01:52:46:00	ROOM FOR PEOPLE TO CALL BOSTON
01:52:46:00	01:52:48:00	HOME.
01:52:48:00	01:52:49:00	THE CURRENT PRACTICE OF THE
01:52:49:00	01:52:49:00	CALL DISPLACEMENT IN BOSTON
01:52:49:00	01:52:53:00	WILL BE WEAKENED AND WE WON'T
01:52:53:00	01:52:53:00	HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE TO OUR
01:52:53:00	01:52:54:00	BELOVED NEIGHBORS AND SMALL
01:52:54:00	01:52:56:00	BUSINESSES.
01:52:56:00	01:52:57:00	THIS IS WHY I SUPPORT PROGRAMS
01:52:57:00	01:52:59:00	LIKE THE SQUARES IN STREETS IN
01:52:59:00	01:52:59:00	ARTICLE 81 ORGANIZATION WHO
01:52:59:00	01:53:02:00	WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE IT MORE
01:53:02:00	01:53:03:00	POSSIBLE FOR RESIDENTS TO CALL
01:53:03:00	01:53:03:00	BOSTON HOME.
01:53:03:00	01:53:07:00	BUT I DO HAVE CONCERNS BECAUSE
01:53:07:00	01:53:08:00	I DO HEAR FROM MY SMALL
01:53:08:00	01:53:09:00	BUSINESS OWNERS IN RACINE THE
01:53:09:00	01:53:10:00	SQUARE AND CLEARY SQUARE
01:53:10:00	01:53:11:00	SPECIFICALLY ASK QUESTIONS
01:53:11:00	01:53:11:00	WHICH IS HAPPENING WHERE THEY
01:53:11:00	01:53:14:00	SAY WE WANT THIS TO HAPPEN BUT
01:53:14:00	01:53:15:00	WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
01:53:15:00	01:53:16:00	BEING TAKEN CARE OF.
01:53:16:00	01:53:18:00	SO THAT'S WHY I'M CALLING FOR
01:53:18:00	01:53:18:00	THIS HERE TO HAPPEN.
01:53:18:00	01:53:19:00	I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
01:53:19:00	01:53:21:00	MY COLLEAGUES TO MAKE THIS
01:53:21:00	01:53:22:00	POSSIBLE AND CALLING ON THE
01:53:22:00	01:53:22:00	PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE
01:53:22:00	01:53:23:00	SOME ANSWERS.

01:53:33:00	01:53:37:00	SIGNING ON TO THIS BECAUSE
01:53:37:00	01:53:37:00	DISPLACEMENT IS NOT JUST A
01:53:37:00	01:53:37:00	HOUSING ISSUE.
01:53:37:00	01:53:41:00	IT'S ABOUT WHO GETS TO CALL
01:53:41:00	01:53:41:00	BOSTON HOME.
01:53:41:00	01:53:42:00	WE KNOW THAT RISING COSTS, NEW
01:53:42:00	01:53:44:00	DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC

01:54:41:00	01:54:42:00	PARENTS THAT I USED TO WORK
01:54:42:00	01:54:45:00	WITH AS PARENT ORGANIZERS NOW
01:54:45:00	01:54:45:00	LIVE IN BROCKTON.
01:54:45:00	01:54:48:00	SO IN RANDOLPH AND WE KEEP
01:54:48:00	01:54:49:00	HAVING THE SAME CONVERSATION
01:54:49:00	01:54:52:00	ABOUT DISPLACEMENT AND I REALLY
01:54:52:00	01:54:53:00	DO BELIEVE THAT THIS
01:54:53:00	01:54:53:00	ADMINISTRATION HAS AN
01:54:53:00	01:54:57:00	OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY LEAN INTO
01:54:57:00	01:54:58:00	WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO BUILD THE
01:54:58:00	01:55:00:00	CITY IN WHICH WE REALLY ARE
01:55:00:00	01:55:01:00	PROTECTING THOSE WHO HAVE OFTEN
01:55:01:00	01:55:04:00	BEEN THE FIRST FRONT LINE TO
01:55:04:00	01:55:04:00	MOVE.
01:55:04:00	01:55:08:00	AND I ALSO THINK THAT KNOW
01:55:08:00	01:55:08:00	WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HOW
01:55:08:00	01:55:09:00	BOSTON IS ONE OF THE SAFEST
01:55:09:00	01:55:12:00	CITIES NOW IN THE COUNTRY AND
01:55:12:00	01:55:13:00	I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW IF IT'S
01:55:13:00	01:55:15:00	BECAUSE HALF OF THE PEOPLE WHO
01:55:15:00	01:55:16:00	LIVED HERE IN THE CITY
01:55:16:00	01:55:19:00	OF BOSTON HAVE BEEN DISPLACED.
01:55:19:00	01:55:20:00	AND SO I JUST WANT TO POINT TO
01:55:20:00	01:55:21:00	THE RECORD IS THAT WE'RE
01:55:21:00	01:55:23:00	TALKING ABOUT BUILDING IN THE
01:55:23:00	01:55:24:00	CITY OF BOSTON BUT WE ALSO NEED
01:55:24:00	01:55:27:00	TO COME TO TERMS WITH THE FACT
01:55:27:00	01:55:28:00	THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH A
01:55:28:00	01:55:28:00	HOUSING CRISIS THAT IS
01:55:28:00	01:55:31:00	INTERCONNECTED WITH DECADES
01:55:31:00	01:55:31:00	OF NEGLECT.
01:55:31:00	01:55:34:00	AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING
01:55:34:00	01:55:35:00	ALONGSIDE MY COLLEAGUES TO
01:55:35:00	01:55:35:00	ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES.
01:55:35:00	01:55:36:00	THANK YOU.
01:55:36:00	01:55:39:00	THANK YOU.
01:55:39:00	01:55:40:00	THE CHAIR AND AS CONTRARIANS.
01:55:40:00	01:55:44:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
01:55:44:00	01:55:44:00	AND THANK YOU TO
01:55:44:00	01:55:45:00	COUNCILOR PEPEN AND ALSO
01:55:45:00	01:55:46:00	CASIMIR HERE FOR ADDING ME AS A
01:55:46:00	01:55:47:00	CO-SPONSOR OF THIS HEARING AS
01:55:47:00	01:55:47:00	WE ALL KNOW IS CRUCIAL.
01:55:47:00	01:55:50:00	THIS CONTINUES THE CITY
01:55:50:00	01:55:54:00	CONTINUES TO INVEST IN BLUE LAB
01:55:54:00	01:55:55:00	AND THE STATE IS INVESTED IN
01:55:55:00	01:55:55:00	THE FAIRMONT LINE AND WE PUT
01:55:55:00	01:55:58:00	TENS OF MILLION DOLLARS TO
01:55:58:00	01:55:58:00	STRENGTHEN THESE COMMUNITIES.
01:55:58:00	01:55:59:00	BUT WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT
01:55:59:00	01:56:02:00	DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT TALKING
01:56:02:00	01:56:02:00	ABOUT DISPLACEMENT.
01:56:02:00	01:56:03:00	THE BEST WAY TO FIGHT
01:56:03:00	01:56:06:00	DISPLACEMENT IS THROUGH
01:56:06:00	01:56:06:00	AFFORDABLE HOMEOWNERSHIP.
01:56:06:00	01:56:09:00	WE KNOW THAT OWNING YOUR HOUSE
01:56:09:00	01:56:10:00	IS THE BEST WAY TO ENSURE YOU
01:56:10:00	01:56:11:00	CAN STAY THERE FOR FOR THE LONG
01:56:11:00	01:56:13:00	TERM.
01:56:13:00	01:56:14:00	AND IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT
01:56:14:00	01:56:14:00	BUILDING HOUSING.
01:56:14:00	01:56:15:00	IT'S ABOUT BUILDING THE RIGHT
01:56:15:00	01:56:17:00	KIND OF HOUSING.
01:56:17:00	01:56:17:00	OUR NEIGHBORHOODS NEED MORE
01:56:17:00	01:56:21:00	FAMILY SIZE UNITS WITH THREE
01:56:21:00	01:56:21:00	BEDROOMS AND WE DON'T HAVE
01:56:21:00	01:56:24:00	ENOUGH OF THAT SUPPLY.
01:56:24:00	01:56:25:00	THAT'S WHY I CONTINUE TO PUSH
01:56:25:00	01:56:26:00	FOR THREE BEDROOM UNITS IN
01:56:26:00	01:56:28:00	EVERY PROJECT IN MY COMMUNITY
01:56:28:00	01:56:29:00	AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT
01:56:29:00	01:56:29:00	NEW CONSTRUCTION ACTUALLY
01:56:29:00	01:56:32:00	ALLOWS FOR FAMILIES TO STAY IN
01:56:32:00	01:56:33:00	THE CITY.
01:56:33:00	01:56:36:00	I ALSO WANT TO ELEVATE THE WORK
01:56:36:00	01:56:37:00	THAT MY OFFICE IS DOING
01:56:37:00	01:56:40:00	ALONGSIDE THE GREAT WORK
01:56:40:00	01:56:40:00	OF ACTION FOR EQUITY TO CREATE
01:56:40:00	01:56:44:00	ZONING LANGUAGE, TO PREPARE
01:56:44:00	01:56:48:00	ZONING LANGUAGE TO INTRODUCE
01:56:48:00	01:56:48:00	AROUND SPECIAL PROTECTION ZONES
01:56:48:00	01:56:51:00	WHICH I PLAN ON INTRODUCING
01:56:51:00	01:56:52:00	SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE TO
01:56:52:00	01:56:52:00	MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES.
01:56:52:00	01:56:53:00	THANK YOU.
01:56:53:00	01:56:56:00	THANK YOU.
01:56:56:00	01:56:56:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
01:56:56:00	01:56:57:00	COUNCILOR DURKAN BECAUSE WE'RE
01:56:57:00	01:56:59:00	GOING TO HAVE THE FLOOR.
01:56:59:00	01:56:59:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH.
01:56:59:00	01:57:00:00	I THINK THIS IS SUCH AN
01:57:00:00	01:57:02:00	IMPORTANT CONVERSATION BECAUSE
01:57:02:00	01:57:03:00	WE KNOW THERE IS DISPLACEMENT
01:57:03:00	01:57:07:00	WITH DEVELOPMENT BUT WE KNOW
01:57:07:00	01:57:08:00	THAT WITHOUT DEVELOPMENT WE
01:57:08:00	01:57:08:00	HAVE DISPLACEMENT.
01:57:08:00	01:57:11:00	I THINK OF COMMUNITIES LIKE THE
01:57:11:00	01:57:15:00	SOUTHEND AND CHINATOWN AND
01:57:15:00	01:57:15:00	BEACON HILL WHERE THE LACK
01:57:15:00	01:57:19:00	OF ANY CONSTRUCTION HAS ALSO
01:57:19:00	01:57:19:00	CAUSED DISPLACEMENT BECAUSE
01:57:19:00	01:57:22:00	THERE'S A LIMITED NUMBER
01:57:22:00	01:57:23:00	OF PLACES TO LIVE SO AFFORDABLE
01:57:23:00	01:57:27:00	UNITS BECOME LUXURY BROWNSTONES
01:57:27:00	01:57:30:00	AND WE HAVE A LOT OF THIS IN
01:57:30:00	01:57:31:00	DISTRICT EIGHT WHERE MULTIPLE
01:57:31:00	01:57:33:00	UNITS HAVE BECOME ONE SINGLE
01:57:33:00	01:57:34:00	FAMILY HOME BECAUSE THERE'S NOT
01:57:34:00	01:57:37:00	ENOUGH HOUSING OPTIONS.
01:57:37:00	01:57:42:00	SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS
01:57:42:00	01:57:42:00	CONVERSATION AND I'M EXCITED TO
01:57:42:00	01:57:43:00	BE PART OF IT.
01:57:43:00	01:57:43:00	THANK YOU.
01:57:43:00	01:57:45:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES

01:58:19:00	01:58:20:00	ADDRESSING THE NEEDS IN THE
01:58:20:00	01:58:20:00	DISTRICT.
01:58:20:00	01:58:21:00	SO I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU
01:58:21:00	01:58:23:00	GETTING AHEAD OF THE

01:58:28:00	01:58:31:00	ALREADY COLLABORATING WITH THEM
01:58:31:00	01:58:34:00	AND ALSO I KNOW THAT

01:58:34:00	01:58:35:00	HAD FILED SOMETHING ON ANTI
01:58:35:00	01:58:38:00	DISPLACEMENT WE I THINK A
01:58:38:00	01:58:38:00	COUPLE OF YEARS BACK WE TRIED
01:58:38:00	01:58:41:00	EXPLORING BONDS AS A MEANS TO
01:58:41:00	01:58:42:00	FINANCING MORE AFFORDABLE
01:58:42:00	01:58:42:00	HOUSING TO INCREASE THE HOUSING
01:58:42:00	01:58:46:00	STOCK AND WE KNOW THAT THE YOU
01:58:46:00	01:58:49:00	KNOW, THE MORE DEMAND THE MORE
01:58:49:00	01:58:50:00	WE ARE INFLATING THE MARKET IN
01:58:50:00	01:58:53:00	THE OPEN MARKET.
01:58:53:00	01:58:54:00	SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS

01:59:27:00	01:59:28:00	THINGS THAT ARE FEDERALLY
01:59:28:00	01:59:31:00	FUNDED AND HOW WE COULD NOT OR

02:00:02:00	02:00:02:00	THIS COUNCIL IT ORIGINATED IN
02:00:02:00	02:00:06:00	THIS COUNCIL FROM MY
02:00:06:00	02:00:06:00	PREDECESSOR AND WAS SIGNED THEN
02:00:06:00	02:00:09:00	BY MAYOR MARTY WALSH WHERE ANY

02:00:23:00	02:00:25:00	DECK TO REVIEW THEIR WORK.
02:00:25:00	02:00:26:00	I KNOW IT'S BEEN A SLOW START
02:00:26:00	02:00:29:00	BUT IT IS A VERY COMPLEX TOPIC
02:00:29:00	02:00:32:00	SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT
02:00:32:00	02:00:33:00	UP AS AS A WAY TO SUPPLEMENT

02:00:45:00	02:00:47:00	PRESERVED PEOPLE EVEN AS
02:00:47:00	02:00:47:00	DEVELOPMENT IS HAPPENING.
02:00:47:00	02:00:51:00	SO IT'S A REASON WHY THE
02:00:51:00	02:00:51:00	ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM
02:00:51:00	02:00:52:00	IS SO IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE

02:00:55:00	02:00:55:00	DO IS TO PREVENT SOMEONE FROM

02:12:59:00	02:13:01:00	CITY THERE WAS ONE FIRE THAT
02:13:01:00	02:13:05:00	DISPLACED 27 AND RECENTLY TWO
02:13:05:00	02:13:06:00	WEEKS AGO I THINK IT WAS THERE
02:13:06:00	02:13:08:00	WAS ABOUT 24 FOLKS THAT WERE
02:13:08:00	02:13:11:00	DISPLACED FROM ONE FIRE IN EAST
02:13:11:00	02:13:12:00	.
02:13:12:00	02:13:12:00	WE KNOW THAT OUR FIRST
02:13:12:00	02:13:13:00	RESPONDERS, OUR FIREFIGHTERS,
02:13:13:00	02:13:16:00	OUR EMERGENCY PERSONNEL GIVE
02:13:16:00	02:13:16:00	EVERYTHING TO PROTECT OUR
02:13:16:00	02:13:17:00	COMMUNITIES IN THESE MOMENTS
02:13:17:00	02:13:20:00	OF CRISIS AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT
02:13:20:00	02:13:20:00	CITY DEPARTMENTS LIKE
02:13:20:00	02:13:21:00	NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES AND
02:13:21:00	02:13:23:00	OFFICE OF HOUSING STABILITY
02:13:23:00	02:13:24:00	STABILITY DO INCREDIBLE WORK ON
02:13:24:00	02:13:24:00	THE GROUND TO ASSIST DISPLACED
02:13:24:00	02:13:27:00	FAMILIES.
02:13:27:00	02:13:27:00	BUT THESE EFFORTS DESPITE THESE
02:13:27:00	02:13:30:00	EFFORTS, MANY FAMILIES REMAIN
02:13:30:00	02:13:31:00	IN LIMBO, STRUGGLING TO FIND
02:13:31:00	02:13:34:00	STABLE HOUSING, REPLACE
02:13:34:00	02:13:34:00	ESSENTIAL BELONGINGS AND
02:13:34:00	02:13:35:00	REBUILD THEIR LIVES IN EAST
02:13:35:00	02:13:38:00	BOSTON, MANY OF THESE FOLKS DO
02:13:38:00	02:13:39:00	NOT HAVE IMMEDIATE FAMILY
02:13:39:00	02:13:42:00	MEMBERS THAT LIVE IN BOSTON AND
02:13:42:00	02:13:43:00	SO THEY STRUGGLE IN THE DAYS,
02:13:43:00	02:13:46:00	WEEKS, MONTHS AFTER THE FACT
02:13:46:00	02:13:47:00	WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
02:13:47:00	02:13:49:00	CONTRACTED NONPROFITS LIKE NO
02:13:49:00	02:13:49:00	ONE EAST BOSTON TO FIND AN
02:13:49:00	02:13:53:00	APARTMENT THAT IS EVEN AT THE
02:13:53:00	02:13:53:00	SAME LEVEL OF AFFORDABILITY
02:13:53:00	02:13:56:00	THAT THEY HAD IN EAST BOSTON.
02:13:56:00	02:13:57:00	BECAUSE OF THIS WE'VE WITNESSED
02:13:57:00	02:14:00:00	A GAPS SERVICE GAPS IN OUR
02:14:00:00	02:14:03:00	EMERGENCY RESPONSE.
02:14:03:00	02:14:04:00	THIS IS WHY I THINK THAT BOSTON
02:14:04:00	02:14:05:00	MUST HAVE A STANDARDIZED
02:14:05:00	02:14:07:00	CITYWIDE PROCESS TO SUPPORT
02:14:07:00	02:14:08:00	FIRE VICTIMS NOT JUST IN THE
02:14:08:00	02:14:08:00	IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH OF A
02:14:08:00	02:14:11:00	DISASTER BUT IN THE LONG TERM
02:14:11:00	02:14:12:00	AND MORE IMPORTANTLY WE MUST
02:14:12:00	02:14:15:00	ESTABLISH A DEDICATED FIRE
02:14:15:00	02:14:15:00	VICTIM FUND TO ENSURE THAT WHEN
02:14:15:00	02:14:19:00	TRAGEDY STRIKES NO FAMILY IS
02:14:19:00	02:14:20:00	LEFT WITHOUT SHELTER, FOOD OR
02:14:20:00	02:14:22:00	BASIC NECESSITIES.
02:14:22:00	02:14:23:00	OTHER CITIES LIKE REVERE HAVE
02:14:23:00	02:14:24:00	ALREADY TAKEN STEPS IN THIS
02:14:24:00	02:14:26:00	DIRECTION.
02:14:26:00	02:14:26:00	BOSTON SHOULD FOLLOW SUIT
02:14:26:00	02:14:27:00	ENSURING THAT OUR RESIDENTS
02:14:27:00	02:14:30:00	DON'T HAVE TO RELY SOLELY ON
02:14:30:00	02:14:31:00	GRASSROOTS FUNDRAISING OR
02:14:31:00	02:14:33:00	MUTUAL AID TO RECOVER FROM
02:14:33:00	02:14:34:00	DISASTER.
02:14:34:00	02:14:34:00	THIS IS ABOUT PROTECTING OUR
02:14:34:00	02:14:37:00	MOST VULNERABLE.
02:14:37:00	02:14:38:00	IT'S ABOUT MAKING SURE OUR
02:14:38:00	02:14:38:00	UNDOCUMENTED NON-ENGLISH
02:14:38:00	02:14:41:00	SPEAKING AND LOW INCOME
02:14:41:00	02:14:42:00	FAMILIES THOSE WHO OFTEN HAVE
02:14:42:00	02:14:45:00	NOWHERE ELSE TO GO ARE NOT LEFT
02:14:45:00	02:14:45:00	BEHIND.
02:14:45:00	02:14:45:00	AND IT'S ABOUT ENSURING THAT
02:14:45:00	02:14:48:00	MUTUAL AID AND COMMUNITY
02:14:48:00	02:14:48:00	GENEROSITY SUPPLEMENT CITY
02:14:48:00	02:14:52:00	RESOURCES RATHER THAN
02:14:52:00	02:14:52:00	SUBSTITUTING THEM.
02:14:52:00	02:14:53:00	SO THIS HEARING WILL ALLOW US
02:14:53:00	02:14:56:00	TO ASSESS THESE IS EXISTING
02:14:56:00	02:14:56:00	GAPS IN EMERGENCY RESPONSE

02:15:08:00	02:15:11:00	THIS IS AN IMPORTANT TOPIC.
02:15:11:00	02:15:12:00	DURING MY FIRST TERM WE HELD A
02:15:12:00	02:15:16:00	HEARING ON THIS MATTER SO THAT
02:15:16:00	02:15:16:00	WE COULD MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE

02:15:17:00	02:15:19:00	RESIDENTS AND FAMILIES.
02:15:19:00	02:15:20:00	SO LOOK FORWARD TO THE CONTINUE
02:15:20:00	02:15:20:00	WORK SO THAT WE CAN GET THIS
02:15:20:00	02:15:21:00	FUND ESTABLISH.
02:15:21:00	02:15:23:00	THE CITY OF CAMBRIDGE ALSO DOES
02:15:23:00	02:15:24:00	SOMETHING SIMILAR AND SO THERE
02:15:24:00	02:15:24:00	ARE MODELS OUT THERE THAT WE
02:15:24:00	02:15:25:00	CAN USE.

02:15:39:00	02:15:41:00	UNNOTICED DURING THESE MOMENTS
02:15:41:00	02:15:42:00	OF CRISIS.
02:15:42:00	02:15:43:00	ALSO JUST WANT TO JUST BRING TO
02:15:43:00	02:15:45:00	THIS CONVERSATION THE
02:15:45:00	02:15:46:00	IMPORTANCE OF RENTERS
02:15:46:00	02:15:46:00	INSURANCE.
02:15:46:00	02:15:49:00	I THINK SOMETIMES HOMEOWNERS
02:15:49:00	02:15:53:00	AND RENTERS MIGHT NOT KNOW BUT
02:15:53:00	02:15:57:00	THE HOMEOWNER'S INSURANCE DOES
02:15:57:00	02:15:57:00	NOT COVER THE RENT AS
02:15:57:00	02:16:01:00	ACCOMMODATIONS DURING FIRE
02:16:01:00	02:16:01:00	DISPLACEMENT.
02:16:01:00	02:16:02:00	SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
02:16:02:00	02:16:03:00	THAT WHEN WE'RE HAVING THESE
02:16:03:00	02:16:05:00	CONVERSATIONS WHETHER IT'S HERE
02:16:05:00	02:16:06:00	OR EITHER IN BROKE IS THE
02:16:06:00	02:16:09:00	CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE PUSHING
02:16:09:00	02:16:10:00	MORE RENTERS BECAUSE WE ARE A
02:16:10:00	02:16:13:00	CITY FULL OF RENTERS MAKING
02:16:13:00	02:16:13:00	SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE PROPER
02:16:13:00	02:16:16:00	PROTECTIONS IN PLACE TO HELP
02:16:16:00	02:16:17:00	THEM WITH ACCOMMODATIONS DURING
02:16:17:00	02:16:17:00	FIRE DISPLACEMENT.
02:16:17:00	02:16:19:00	LOOKING FOR THIS CONVERSATION
02:16:19:00	02:16:20:00	AND I'M ENCOURAGED TO SEE THIS

02:16:28:00	02:16:31:00	THANK YOU TO COUNCILOR QUITE UP
02:16:31:00	02:16:31:00	FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD
02:16:31:00	02:16:34:00	IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.
02:16:34:00	02:16:35:00	WE HAVE SEEN SO MANY FIRES
02:16:35:00	02:16:38:00	ACROSS BOSTON BUT WE ALSO HAVE
02:16:38:00	02:16:38:00	SEEN THE DEDICATED AND
02:16:38:00	02:16:42:00	PROFESSIONAL RESPONSE FROM THE
02:16:42:00	02:16:42:00	MEN AND WOMEN FROM THE BOSTON
02:16:42:00	02:16:43:00	FIRE DEPARTMENT.
02:16:43:00	02:16:46:00	I SAY THAT BECAUSE I KNOW THEY
02:16:46:00	02:16:49:00	ALSO HAVE SOME ADVOCACY IN
02:16:49:00	02:16:53:00	OUTREACH AS WELL TO VICTIMS
02:16:53:00	02:16:53:00	OF OF FIRES.
02:16:53:00	02:16:54:00	I KNOW RICHIE HARRIS DID A
02:16:54:00	02:16:57:00	TREMENDOUS JOB ON THAT FOR THE
02:16:57:00	02:16:58:00	BOSTON FIRE DEPARTMENT BUT I
02:16:58:00	02:17:00:00	ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND
02:17:00:00	02:17:04:00	MAYBE WE CAN HAVE THE CERTAINLY
02:17:04:00	02:17:05:00	THE FIRE COMMISSIONER BUT I
02:17:05:00	02:17:05:00	THINK IT'S IMPORTANT ALSO TO
02:17:05:00	02:17:08:00	INVITE THE REPRESENTATIVES FROM
02:17:08:00	02:17:11:00	LOCAL 718 I KNOW THEY KNOW THIS
02:17:11:00	02:17:12:00	ISSUE VERY WELL AND THE
02:17:12:00	02:17:15:00	AMERICAN RED CROSS I'VE
02:17:15:00	02:17:15:00	RECENTLY MET WITH THE AMERICAN
02:17:15:00	02:17:18:00	RED CROSS SEVERAL MONTHS AGO
02:17:18:00	02:17:22:00	AND THE REASON I MET WITH THEM
02:17:22:00	02:17:23:00	IS THERE WAS A FIRE IN
02:17:23:00	02:17:26:00	CHINATOWN AND IT WAS A FAMILY
02:17:26:00	02:17:29:00	THAT DID NOT SPEAK ENGLISH.
02:17:29:00	02:17:30:00	THAT WAS THE FIRE FIRE VICTIM
02:17:30:00	02:17:34:00	DISPLACED AND THE AMERICAN RED
02:17:34:00	02:17:37:00	CROSS RESPONDED.
02:17:37:00	02:17:38:00	THEY DID THE BEST THEY COULD TO
02:17:38:00	02:17:39:00	ASSIST BUT THEY NEEDED
02:17:39:00	02:17:42:00	TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETATION.
02:17:42:00	02:17:43:00	I WAS FORTUNATE THAT MY
02:17:43:00	02:17:45:00	ASSISTANT MELISSA WAS WAS
02:17:45:00	02:17:49:00	AVAILABLE THAT WEEKEND AND WE
02:17:49:00	02:17:50:00	WENT DOWN AND TALKED WITH THE
02:17:50:00	02:17:51:00	FAMILY AND THE RED CROSS AND
02:17:51:00	02:17:53:00	THEY WERE ABLE TO GO IN WITH
02:17:53:00	02:17:54:00	SHEILA DILLON'S GROUP AS WELL.
02:17:54:00	02:17:57:00	WE WERE ABLE TO HELP WITH
02:17:57:00	02:18:00:00	TEMPORARY HOUSING BUT LANGUAGE
02:18:00:00	02:18:01:00	ACCESS IS A CRITICAL PART
02:18:01:00	02:18:04:00	OF THIS DISCUSSION AND I KNOW
02:18:04:00	02:18:04:00	COUNCILOR KYRA MENTIONED THAT
02:18:04:00	02:18:05:00	THE SUPPORT OF OUR IMMIGRANT

02:18:08:00	02:18:09:00	SO I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO
02:18:09:00	02:18:11:00	COUNSELOR CARTER FOR BRINGING
02:18:11:00	02:18:12:00	THIS FORWARD.
02:18:12:00	02:18:12:00	IT WAS A VERY IMPORTANT
02:18:12:00	02:18:13:00	CONVERSATION.
02:18:13:00	02:18:16:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

02:18:16:00	02:18:17:00	WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK

02:18:28:00	02:18:31:00	WENT TO FAR TOO MANY FIRE
02:18:31:00	02:18:31:00	DISPLACEMENT CALLS OVERNIGHT
02:18:31:00	02:18:35:00	AND WHAT I WITNESSED WAS A LOT
02:18:35:00	02:18:38:00	OF FAMILIES LEFT WITH NOTHING
02:18:38:00	02:18:38:00	BUT THEMSELVES AND I ALWAYS
02:18:38:00	02:18:39:00	QUESTIONED WHY THERE WASN'T A
02:18:39:00	02:18:42:00	FUND TO HELP THEM.
02:18:42:00	02:18:45:00	AND I REMEMBER RIGHT BEFORE I

02:19:34:00	02:19:35:00	THERE WEREN'T ANY RIDES
02:19:35:00	02:19:35:00	AVAILABLE.
02:19:35:00	02:19:38:00	SO THERE'S A LOT OF PARTNERS
02:19:38:00	02:19:38:00	THAT PLAY A PART OF THIS.
02:19:38:00	02:19:39:00	THERE'S A LOT OF SOLUTIONS.
02:19:39:00	02:19:41:00	THERE'S A LOT OF PROBLEMS THAT
02:19:41:00	02:19:42:00	NEED SOLUTIONS TO BE ABLE TO
02:19:42:00	02:19:42:00	GET THIS RIGHT.
02:19:42:00	02:19:45:00	AND I THINK THAT THIS IS THE
02:19:45:00	02:19:46:00	RIGHT NEXT STEP FOR IT BY
02:19:46:00	02:19:46:00	HAVING THIS HEARING ORDER.

02:19:50:00	02:19:52:00	AND I JUST KIND OF MURPHY HAD
02:19:52:00	02:19:53:00	THE FLOOR THANK YOU AND THANK
02:19:53:00	02:19:56:00	YOU FOR THE SPONSORS FOR
02:19:56:00	02:19:57:00	BRINGING THIS FORWARD A COUPLE
02:19:57:00	02:19:58:00	OF MONTHS IN AFTER I WAS
02:19:58:00	02:20:01:00	ELECTED I WAS AT A FIRE IN EAST
02:20:01:00	02:20:01:00	BOSTON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
02:20:01:00	02:20:04:00	WINTER AND IT WAS VERY EYE
02:20:04:00	02:20:04:00	OPENING TO SEE THAT IT'S
02:20:04:00	02:20:05:00	OBVIOUSLY NOT JUST THE FIRE
02:20:05:00	02:20:08:00	DEPARTMENT THERE AND THERE WAS
02:20:08:00	02:20:08:00	DISPLACEMENT BUT AT THAT TIME
02:20:08:00	02:20:11:00	THE SCHOOL DEPARTMENT HAD TO
02:20:11:00	02:20:12:00	SHOW UP BECAUSE THERE WERE KIDS
02:20:12:00	02:20:13:00	WHO WERE WAITING TO GET ON
02:20:13:00	02:20:15:00	THEIR BUS AND THE SCHOOL BUS
02:20:15:00	02:20:16:00	ROUTES WERE BEING REDIRECTED
02:20:16:00	02:20:16:00	BECAUSE OF THE CLOSED STREETS.
02:20:16:00	02:20:19:00	WE ALSO HAD THE MTA SHOWING UP
02:20:19:00	02:20:20:00	WITH THEIR BUSSES SO THAT
02:20:20:00	02:20:23:00	PEOPLE COULD SIT ON THE BUSSES
02:20:23:00	02:20:23:00	AND WAIT.
02:20:23:00	02:20:24:00	SO IT'S OVERWHELMING TO SEE HOW
02:20:24:00	02:20:27:00	MANY PEOPLE DO COME TOGETHER
02:20:27:00	02:20:28:00	CITY AGENCIES AND NONPROFITS
02:20:28:00	02:20:31:00	BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE
02:20:31:00	02:20:31:00	ALSO THAT WE CAN SUPPLEMENT IN
02:20:31:00	02:20:35:00	ANY WAY BECAUSE AFTER ALL
02:20:35:00	02:20:36:00	OF THAT SUPPORT IS GONE, THESE
02:20:36:00	02:20:36:00	FAMILIES ARE LEFT AND

02:20:43:00	02:20:44:00	GETTING WHAT THEY NEED AND THIS
02:20:44:00	02:20:46:00	FUND COULD HELP THEM.

02:22:38:00	02:22:38:00	BOSTON ON THIS TOPIC IS BEHIND
02:22:38:00	02:22:41:00	THE CURVE.
02:22:41:00	02:22:42:00	OVER 60 MUNICIPALITIES IN
02:22:42:00	02:22:45:00	MASSACHUSETTS HAVE ALREADY
02:22:45:00	02:22:45:00	TAKEN ACTION ALONGSIDE 11
02:22:45:00	02:22:46:00	STATES AND MAJOR CITIES LIKE
02:22:46:00	02:22:49:00	NEW YORK AND SEATTLE.

02:25:08:00	02:25:09:00	ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO PICK UP

02:26:30:00	02:26:30:00	WASTE CONTAINERIZATION IN THE
02:26:30:00	02:26:33:00	CITY OF BOSTON.
02:26:33:00	02:26:34:00	THIS IS A STEP FORWARD TOWARDS
02:26:34:00	02:26:36:00	ADDRESSING THE MOST PERSISTENT
02:26:36:00	02:26:37:00	AND PRESSING ISSUES FACING OUR
02:26:37:00	02:26:37:00	CITY IN EFFECTIVELY CONTAIN
02:26:37:00	02:26:41:00	TRASH LEADING TO LITTER RODENT
02:26:41:00	02:26:41:00	INFESTATIONS AND UNSANITARY
02:26:41:00	02:26:44:00	CONDITIONS IN OUR
02:26:44:00	02:26:44:00	NEIGHBORHOODS.
02:26:44:00	02:26:45:00	CURRENTLY BOSTON'S WASTE
02:26:45:00	02:26:48:00	COLLECTION SYSTEM RELIES
02:26:48:00	02:26:48:00	HEAVILY ON THE USE OF PLASTIC
02:26:48:00	02:26:51:00	BAGS FOR CURBSIDE PICKUP
02:26:51:00	02:26:52:00	PARTICULARLY IN OUR DOWNTOWN
02:26:52:00	02:26:52:00	NEIGHBORHOODS.
02:26:52:00	02:26:53:00	WHILE THIS SYSTEM MAY HAVE
02:26:53:00	02:26:56:00	INSUFFICIENT IN THE PAST, IT IS
02:26:56:00	02:26:56:00	BECOMING INCREASINGLY CLEAR
02:26:56:00	02:26:57:00	THAT IT IS FAILING THE
02:26:57:00	02:26:59:00	RESIDENTS TODAY.
02:26:59:00	02:27:00:00	TOO OFTEN WE SEE BAGS LEFT
02:27:00:00	02:27:02:00	EXPOSED ON OUR SIDEWALKS
02:27:02:00	02:27:03:00	OVERNIGHT BECOMING EASY TARGETS
02:27:03:00	02:27:03:00	FOR RODENTS OR OTHER PESTS
02:27:03:00	02:27:07:00	LEADING TO TORN BAGS AND
02:27:07:00	02:27:07:00	SCATTERED DEBRIS THAT
02:27:07:00	02:27:08:00	CONTRIBUTE TO OVERALL
02:27:08:00	02:27:10:00	CLEANLINESS AND LIVABILITY
02:27:10:00	02:27:11:00	OF OUR CITY.
02:27:11:00	02:27:11:00	OTHER CITIES HAVE FACED THE
02:27:11:00	02:27:15:00	SAME CHALLENGES AND HAVE TAKEN
02:27:15:00	02:27:15:00	BOLD STEPS TOWARDS INNOVATIVE
02:27:15:00	02:27:16:00	WASTE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS.
02:27:16:00	02:27:19:00	I KNOW THE FOLKS THAT ARE
02:27:19:00	02:27:22:00	WORKING ON THIS AT THE CITY ARE
02:27:22:00	02:27:23:00	TALKING TO NEW YORK CITY AND
02:27:23:00	02:27:24:00	THEY'RE TALKING TO OTHER CITIES
02:27:24:00	02:27:27:00	ABOUT WHAT HAS WORKED AND WHAT
02:27:27:00	02:27:27:00	HASN'T.
02:27:27:00	02:27:30:00	THERE ARE PILOTS THAT HAVE BEEN
02:27:30:00	02:27:31:00	PUT FORWARD IN CITIES AND THAT
02:27:31:00	02:27:34:00	HAVE BEEN TAKEN BACK BECAUSE
02:27:34:00	02:27:35:00	SOMETIMES THESE PILOTS BECOME
02:27:35:00	02:27:38:00	DUMPING GROUNDS FOR OTHER TYPES
02:27:38:00	02:27:38:00	OF TRASH.
02:27:38:00	02:27:39:00	WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO IS
02:27:39:00	02:27:42:00	LEARN FROM THE LESSONS OF OTHER
02:27:42:00	02:27:43:00	CITIES AND THIS CONVERSATION IS
02:27:43:00	02:27:46:00	INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AND I'LL
02:27:46:00	02:27:47:00	JUST SAY THAT THE NEW YORK
02:27:47:00	02:27:49:00	SANITATION DEPARTMENT SAID LAST
02:27:49:00	02:27:50:00	MONTH 70% OF NEW YORK CITY
02:27:50:00	02:27:54:00	TRASH IS NOW OUT OF BAGS AND
02:27:54:00	02:27:54:00	INTO CONTAINERS.
02:27:54:00	02:27:57:00	THESE MEASURES ARE WORKING.
02:27:57:00	02:27:57:00	AFTER CONTAINERIZATION RULES
02:27:57:00	02:28:00:00	WENT INTO EFFECT IN APRIL 20,
02:28:00:00	02:28:01:00	23, NEW YORK CITY SAW THE
02:28:01:00	02:28:02:00	LARGEST YEAR OVER YEAR
02:28:02:00	02:28:05:00	REDUCTION IN RAT SIGHTING
02:28:05:00	02:28:07:00	SERVICES REQUESTS SINCE 2010
02:28:07:00	02:28:07:00	AND YOU MIGHT BE ASKING I
02:28:07:00	02:28:11:00	HAVEN'T SEEN ANY RATS RECENTLY
02:28:11:00	02:28:12:00	BUT I DID TALK TO JOHN ORECK
02:28:12:00	02:28:15:00	FROM PUBLIC WORKS AND THE
02:28:15:00	02:28:16:00	WEATHER HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE
02:28:16:00	02:28:19:00	RAT REDUCTION AND NOT REALLY
02:28:19:00	02:28:19:00	MUCH ELSE.
02:28:19:00	02:28:22:00	SO I KNOW THAT WE'RE WORKING
02:28:22:00	02:28:22:00	HARD.
02:28:22:00	02:28:23:00	I KNOW THAT THE CITY HAS A
02:28:23:00	02:28:26:00	BOSTON RODENT ACTION PLAN BUT
02:28:26:00	02:28:27:00	WE'VE GOT MORE TO DO AND THIS
02:28:27:00	02:28:30:00	CONVERSATION IS JUST THE START
02:28:30:00	02:28:31:00	SO LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING IT IN
02:28:31:00	02:28:34:00	THE CITY SERVICES COMMITTEE
02:28:34:00	02:28:34:00	WHICH I KNOW COUNCILOR PIPPEN
02:28:34:00	02:28:37:00	WILL PRESIDE REALLY WELL OVER
02:28:37:00	02:28:38:00	BECAUSE HE'S BEEN WORKING ON
02:28:38:00	02:28:38:00	THESE ISSUES AS WELL.
02:28:38:00	02:28:39:00	THANK YOU.
02:28:39:00	02:28:41:00	THE CHAIR AGONIZES.
02:28:41:00	02:28:42:00	COUNCILOR PIPPEN, YOU HAVE THE
02:28:42:00	02:28:42:00	FLOOR.

02:28:45:00	02:28:46:00	I JUST WANT TO THANK
02:28:46:00	02:28:47:00	COUNCILOR DURKAN FOR RE FILING
02:28:47:00	02:28:48:00	THIS BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THE
02:28:48:00	02:28:49:00	VERY IMPORTANT TOPICS IN ALL
02:28:49:00	02:28:52:00	THE COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS IN THE
02:28:52:00	02:28:52:00	CITY.
02:28:52:00	02:28:53:00	BUT FOR ME SPECIFICALLY LIKE I
02:28:53:00	02:28:53:00	MENTIONED MATTAPAN SQUARE HAS
02:28:53:00	02:28:55:00	HAD A CONSISTENT ISSUE
02:28:55:00	02:28:56:00	OF DUMPING ILLEGAL DUMPING
02:28:56:00	02:28:59:00	BEHIND BUSINESSES IN ROSS

02:28:59:00	02:29:00:00	RESTAURANTS HAVE EXPRESSED
02:29:00:00	02:29:00:00	CONCERN, HAVE EXPRESSED
02:29:00:00	02:29:04:00	INTEREST IN HAVING A A SHARED
02:29:04:00	02:29:04:00	COMPOSTING BIN FOR THE
02:29:04:00	02:29:07:00	RESTAURANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT
02:29:07:00	02:29:07:00	THIS FOOD IS NOT BEING EASILY
02:29:07:00	02:29:08:00	ACCESSED BY THE RATS.
02:29:08:00	02:29:10:00	AND I KNOW THAT THAT ADDS TO
02:29:10:00	02:29:11:00	THE RAT INFESTATION INTO OUR
02:29:11:00	02:29:11:00	NEIGHBORHOOD.
02:29:11:00	02:29:14:00	SO I'M JUST VERY THANKFUL THAT

02:29:15:00	02:29:15:00	CONVERSATION AS PART OF OUR
02:29:15:00	02:29:15:00	ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
02:29:15:00	02:29:18:00	CONVERSATION BUT ALSO JUST THE
02:29:18:00	02:29:18:00	CLEANLINESS OF OUR
02:29:18:00	02:29:19:00	NEIGHBORHOODS.
02:29:19:00	02:29:19:00	I LOOK FORWARD TO HOSTING THIS

02:29:22:00	02:29:23:00	YOU FOR FILING THIS.
02:29:23:00	02:29:26:00	THE BEST WAY TO GET AT OUR
02:29:26:00	02:29:27:00	RODENT ISSUE REALLY IS TO
02:29:27:00	02:29:30:00	CONTINUE TO AS WASTE
02:29:30:00	02:29:30:00	CONTAINERIZATION JOHN AS IT
02:29:30:00	02:29:33:00	EVERYONE SAYS IT AND SO WORKING
02:29:33:00	02:29:34:00	ON A PILOT TO MAKE SURE THAT
02:29:34:00	02:29:37:00	WE'RE ABLE TO MEET THAT GOAL IN
02:29:37:00	02:29:37:00	ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS
02:29:37:00	02:29:40:00	ESPECIALLY IN OUR MORE DENSELY
02:29:40:00	02:29:41:00	POPULATED NEIGHBORHOODS,
02:29:41:00	02:29:41:00	ESPECIALLY IN NEIGHBORHOODS
02:29:41:00	02:29:42:00	WHERE IT'S HARD FOR THEM TO
02:29:42:00	02:29:44:00	HAVE TRASH BINS.
02:29:44:00	02:29:45:00	IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO
02:29:45:00	02:29:45:00	CONTINUE TO THINK ABOUT METHODS
02:29:45:00	02:29:48:00	TO ATTACK THIS ISSUE SO THANK
02:29:48:00	02:29:49:00	YOU FINALLY AND I LOOK FORWARD

02:29:49:00	02:29:52:00	ALONGSIDE MY CO-SPONSORS.
02:29:52:00	02:29:53:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
02:29:53:00	02:29:53:00	CONTRAFLOW.

02:29:54:00	02:29:54:00	FLOOR.
02:29:54:00	02:29:54:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
02:29:54:00	02:29:56:00	THIS IS AN ISSUE I'VE WORKED ON
02:29:56:00	02:29:59:00	FOR GOING ON EIGHT YEARS NOW
02:29:59:00	02:30:00:00	AND HAVE HAVE HELD I DON'T KNOW
02:30:00:00	02:30:02:00	SIX SEVEN HEARINGS ON IT WITH
02:30:02:00	02:30:05:00	REPRESENTATIVE OF SOME CITY
02:30:05:00	02:30:06:00	DEPARTMENTS PUBLIC WORKS
02:30:06:00	02:30:10:00	INSPECTIONAL SERVICES
02:30:10:00	02:30:12:00	OF NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES I
02:30:12:00	02:30:13:00	WORKED CLOSELY WITH NEW YORK
02:30:13:00	02:30:18:00	CITY AS AS WAS MENTIONED I WAS
02:30:18:00	02:30:18:00	THE ONE THAT INTRODUCED BOSTON
02:30:18:00	02:30:21:00	REALLY TO WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
02:30:21:00	02:30:22:00	NEW YORK CITY ON THEIR VOTING
02:30:22:00	02:30:25:00	CONTROL PROBLEM AND NEW YORK
02:30:25:00	02:30:28:00	CITY DEVELOPED A A SYSTEM WHERE
02:30:28:00	02:30:29:00	THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A STANDALONE
02:30:29:00	02:30:32:00	DEPARTMENT CITY AGENCY ON
02:30:32:00	02:30:36:00	RODENT CONTROL PEST CONTROL AND
02:30:36:00	02:30:36:00	IT'S EFFECTIVE.
02:30:36:00	02:30:40:00	I ADVOCATED FOR THAT IT WASN'T
02:30:40:00	02:30:43:00	IMPLEMENTED BUT THE RODENT
02:30:43:00	02:30:44:00	CONTROL PLAN THAT THE CITY HAS
02:30:44:00	02:30:47:00	IMPLEMENT IMPLEMENTED RECENTLY
02:30:47:00	02:30:51:00	SEVEN OR EIGHT DIFFERENT POINTS
02:30:51:00	02:30:53:00	I THINK I RECOMMENDED SIX OR
02:30:53:00	02:30:54:00	SEVEN OF THOSE TO THEM.
02:30:54:00	02:30:55:00	THE OTHER ONE I MENTIONED WAS
02:30:55:00	02:30:58:00	THE STANDALONE COMMITTEE ON
02:30:58:00	02:31:01:00	PEST CONTROL THAT WASN'T WAS AN
02:31:01:00	02:31:02:00	IMPLEMENTED MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN
02:31:02:00	02:31:05:00	MY DISTRICT AND DISTRICT TWO
02:31:05:00	02:31:06:00	INCLUDING CHINATOWN, THE SOUTH
02:31:06:00	02:31:09:00	IN SOUTH BOSTON BAY VILLAGE WE
02:31:09:00	02:31:10:00	HAVE PEST CONTROL MAJOR
02:31:10:00	02:31:14:00	CHALLENGES IN THE AREA AND
02:31:14:00	02:31:17:00	WHAT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO KNOW
02:31:17:00	02:31:21:00	IS THE RESTAURANTS HAVE A MAJOR
02:31:21:00	02:31:22:00	ROLE TO PLAY AS WELL IN
02:31:22:00	02:31:25:00	ENSURING THAT THEY TAKE OUT AND
02:31:25:00	02:31:28:00	JUST TAKE OUT THEIR GARBAGE
02:31:28:00	02:31:28:00	APPROPRIATELY.
02:31:28:00	02:31:32:00	ONE OF THE MAJOR CHALLENGES WE
02:31:32:00	02:31:33:00	HAVE IN CHINATOWN IS THE

02:33:27:00	02:33:30:00	SPONSORED THE SUCCESSFUL
02:33:30:00	02:33:31:00	AMENDMENT THAT WENT THROUGH OUR

02:33:42:00	02:33:45:00	HONEYMOON.
02:33:45:00	02:33:46:00	PEOPLE WERE LOOKING AT ME CRAZY
02:33:46:00	02:33:47:00	BECAUSE I WAS TAKING PHOTOS
02:33:47:00	02:33:49:00	OF THEIR CONTAINERIZATION
02:33:49:00	02:33:50:00	PROGRAM BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE
02:33:50:00	02:33:51:00	SUPER BLOCKS AND THERE'S
02:33:51:00	02:33:53:00	HUNDREDS OF RESIDENTS THAT LIVE
02:33:53:00	02:33:53:00	ON ONE BLOCK AND SO THERE ARE
02:33:53:00	02:33:54:00	CERTAINLY MODELS THAT WE CAN
02:33:54:00	02:33:57:00	LOOK TO IN THE NORTH END.
02:33:57:00	02:33:57:00	THIS IS A TOP PRIORITY.
02:33:57:00	02:34:00:00	THERE ARE NO PLACES THERE'S NO
02:34:00:00	02:34:01:00	PLACE TO PUT ANY TRASH BARRELS
02:34:01:00	02:34:04:00	THEY DON'T HAVE ALLEYWAYS AND
02:34:04:00	02:34:07:00	SO FOLKS PUT TRASH IN PLASTIC
02:34:07:00	02:34:08:00	BAGS THE RATS GET THROUGH TO
02:34:08:00	02:34:08:00	GET THROUGH THEM.

02:37:14:00	02:37:17:00	STREET FROM BOSTON CITY HALL AT
02:37:17:00	02:37:18:00	THE FEDERAL BUILDING.
02:37:18:00	02:37:21:00	IF ANY VETERAN IS IN NEED
02:37:21:00	02:37:21:00	OF GETTING THESE BENEFITS AND

02:37:40:00	02:37:40:00	COMMUNITIES WITHOUT THE
02:37:40:00	02:37:44:00	DISRUPTION OF PEOPLE EXPLOITING
02:37:44:00	02:37:44:00	.
02:37:44:00	02:37:45:00	IT IS CRITICAL THAT CRITICAL
02:37:45:00	02:37:47:00	THAT WE RAISE AWARENESS AND
02:37:47:00	02:37:48:00	RECOGNIZE WHAT'S HAPPENING.
02:37:48:00	02:37:51:00	I WAS WALKING UP BROADWAY
02:37:51:00	02:37:52:00	SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THREE MONTHS
02:37:52:00	02:37:55:00	AGO AND I SAW AN ELDERLY COUPLE
02:37:55:00	02:37:59:00	AND I PULLED OVER AND I AND I
02:37:59:00	02:38:00:00	TALKED TO THEM AND I SAID WHERE
02:38:00:00	02:38:00:00	ARE YOU GOING?
02:38:00:00	02:38:04:00	AND THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING
02:38:04:00	02:38:04:00	TO THE BANK.
02:38:04:00	02:38:05:00	I SAID WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO
02:38:05:00	02:38:05:00	THE BANK FOR?
02:38:05:00	02:38:07:00	AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE
02:38:07:00	02:38:09:00	TAKING MONEY OUT OF THE BANK
02:38:09:00	02:38:10:00	$5,000 TO SEND IT TO THIS
02:38:10:00	02:38:13:00	PERSON THAT JUST GOT INTO A CAR
02:38:13:00	02:38:14:00	ACCIDENT.
02:38:14:00	02:38:17:00	THEY HAD THIS THEY HAD THIS
02:38:17:00	02:38:18:00	ACCOUNT NUMBER.
02:38:18:00	02:38:18:00	I SAID THAT DOESN'T SOUND
02:38:18:00	02:38:18:00	RIGHT.
02:38:18:00	02:38:22:00	AND THEY SAID YES, WE KNEW WE
02:38:22:00	02:38:22:00	HAD THE RIGHT INFORMATION THAT
02:38:22:00	02:38:23:00	THE PERSON CALLED.
02:38:23:00	02:38:25:00	THEY KNEW THE VICTIM.
02:38:25:00	02:38:28:00	WE KNOW THE FAMILY AND THEY
02:38:28:00	02:38:32:00	WERE BEING EXPLOITED.
02:38:32:00	02:38:33:00	AND BEFORE WE WERE ABLE BEFORE
02:38:33:00	02:38:36:00	WE GOT TO THE BANK WE ACTUALLY
02:38:36:00	02:38:36:00	CALLED THE IMPACTED FAMILY AND
02:38:36:00	02:38:40:00	THE FAMILY SAID NO, THEY ARE
02:38:40:00	02:38:43:00	THEY'RE RELATIVELY SAFE.
02:38:43:00	02:38:44:00	THEIR LOVED ONE IS SAFE.
02:38:44:00	02:38:45:00	THEY DIDN'T NEED ANY ASSISTANCE
02:38:45:00	02:38:47:00	BUT THAT'S THE TYPE OF SCAMS
02:38:47:00	02:38:48:00	THAT ARE HAPPENING AND
02:38:48:00	02:38:51:00	HAPPENING ACROSS BOSTON WHERE
02:38:51:00	02:38:55:00	PEOPLE KNOW EXACTLY THE
02:38:55:00	02:38:55:00	PERSONAL INFORMATION.
02:38:55:00	02:38:56:00	THEY KNOW YOUR MOTHER'S NAME,
02:38:56:00	02:38:58:00	THEY KNOW YOUR DAUGHTER'S NAME
02:38:58:00	02:38:59:00	, THEY KNOW WHAT SCHOOL YOU
02:38:59:00	02:39:00:00	WENT TO AND THEY EXPLOIT THAT
02:39:00:00	02:39:06:00	INFORMATION AND ESPECIALLY FROM
02:39:06:00	02:39:07:00	THE ELDERLY SO THAT YOU WILL GO
02:39:07:00	02:39:10:00	TO THE BANK, TAKE OUT MONEY AND
02:39:10:00	02:39:13:00	WIRE IT SOMEHOW TO SOMEONE
02:39:13:00	02:39:14:00	THAT'S TRYING TO EXPLOIT YOU.

02:39:17:00	02:39:18:00	BE TALKING ABOUT AND I HOPE

02:39:39:00	02:39:40:00	SENIORS ARE INCREASINGLY
02:39:40:00	02:39:40:00	TARGETED BY SCAMS THAT EXPLOIT
02:39:40:00	02:39:44:00	THEIR TRUST IN FINANCIAL
02:39:44:00	02:39:45:00	STABILITY AND IT IS OUR DUTY TO

02:39:51:00	02:39:52:00	SENIORS IN MASSACHUSETTS
02:39:52:00	02:39:55:00	REPORTED LOSING OVER $70

02:39:59:00	02:39:59:00	PER VICTIM.
02:39:59:00	02:40:03:00	THESE SCAMS, WHICH RANGE FROM
02:40:03:00	02:40:04:00	DECEPTIVE HOME REPAIR OFFERS TO
02:40:04:00	02:40:06:00	FRAUDULENT BANKING AND
02:40:06:00	02:40:07:00	INSURANCE SCAMS ARE NOT JUST
02:40:07:00	02:40:08:00	FINANCIAL SETBACKS.
02:40:08:00	02:40:10:00	THEY ARE OFTEN DEEPLY EMOTIONAL
02:40:10:00	02:40:14:00	EXPERIENCES FOR THE VICTIMS.
02:40:14:00	02:40:14:00	AS THE CITY'S PROPERTY VALUES
02:40:14:00	02:40:17:00	RISE, MANY SENIORS,
02:40:17:00	02:40:18:00	PARTICULARLY HOMEOWNERS ARE
02:40:18:00	02:40:18:00	BECOMING PRIME TARGETS FOR
02:40:18:00	02:40:22:00	THESE FRAUDULENT SCHEMES.
02:40:22:00	02:40:22:00	EARLIER THIS MONTH I HAD THE
02:40:22:00	02:40:25:00	PRIVILEGE OF ATTENDING AN

02:40:33:00	02:40:34:00	THE INTERNET AND CELL PHONE
02:40:34:00	02:40:34:00	SAFETY COURSE FOR SENIORS
02:40:34:00	02:40:37:00	PROVIDED VITAL EDUCATION ON HOW
02:40:37:00	02:40:37:00	TO RECOGNIZE AND PROTECT
02:40:37:00	02:40:41:00	AGAINST ONLINE SCAMS WHICH ARE
02:40:41:00	02:40:41:00	INCREASINGLY COMMON IN THE
02:40:41:00	02:40:42:00	DIGITAL DIGITAL AGE.
02:40:42:00	02:40:45:00	I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO
02:40:45:00	02:40:46:00	THANK AT&T FOR THEIR
02:40:46:00	02:40:48:00	INVOLVEMENT IN HELPING OUR
02:40:48:00	02:40:48:00	SENIORS UNDERSTAND THE RISKS
02:40:48:00	02:40:49:00	THEY FACE ONLINE.
02:40:49:00	02:40:52:00	IT IS PROGRAMS LIKE THIS THAT
02:40:52:00	02:40:53:00	MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES
02:40:53:00	02:40:53:00	OF OUR ELDERS.
02:40:53:00	02:40:57:00	I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE
02:40:57:00	02:40:57:00	BECAUSE OFTEN TIMES WHEN I'VE
02:40:57:00	02:41:00:00	SEEN THIS HAPPENING TO SENIORS
02:41:00:00	02:41:01:00	OR TALKED TO THEM AFTER OR ANY
02:41:01:00	02:41:04:00	RESIDENTS NOT JUST SENIORS BUT
02:41:04:00	02:41:04:00	THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS AND
02:41:04:00	02:41:05:00	THEY'RE PROFESSIONAL BECAUSE
02:41:05:00	02:41:08:00	OFTENTIMES THEY FEEL ASHAMED
02:41:08:00	02:41:08:00	AND EMBARRASSED AND HOW COULD
02:41:08:00	02:41:09:00	THIS HAPPEN TO ME?
02:41:09:00	02:41:12:00	BUT ADDITIONALLY I'D LIKE TO
02:41:12:00	02:41:14:00	ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROACTIVE
02:41:14:00	02:41:15:00	EFFORTS OF OUR BOSTON POLICE

02:41:18:00	02:41:19:00	SENIORS THROUGH COMMUNITY
02:41:19:00	02:41:19:00	OUTREACH AND AWARENESS.
02:41:19:00	02:41:23:00	HOWEVER, AS THE RISE IN SCAMS
02:41:23:00	02:41:24:00	CONTINUE, WE MUST DO MORE.
02:41:24:00	02:41:27:00	WE NEED TO HAVE RESOURCES,
02:41:27:00	02:41:30:00	EDUCATION AND PROTECTION AND
02:41:30:00	02:41:31:00	MAKE SURE THEY'RE AVAILABLE AT
02:41:31:00	02:41:31:00	A BROADER SCALE TO EVERY SENIOR
02:41:31:00	02:41:32:00	IN BOSTON.
02:41:32:00	02:41:35:00	THIS HEARING WILL ALLOW US TO
02:41:35:00	02:41:36:00	DIVE DEEPER INTO HOW WE CAN
02:41:36:00	02:41:38:00	IMPROVE SUPPORT FOR SENIORS AND
02:41:38:00	02:41:39:00	WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY

02:41:51:00	02:41:54:00	OUR CITY AND COUNTRY AND WE
02:41:54:00	02:41:54:00	MUST CONTINUE TO EMPOWER OUR

02:41:55:00	02:41:58:00	IDENTIFY SCAMS AND AVOID

02:44:51:00	02:44:52:00	ADULTS WITH FINANCIAL LITERACY.
02:44:52:00	02:44:55:00	ONE OF THE SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS

02:45:16:00	02:45:19:00	FOR THEM EVEN AT EVEN AT THAT
02:45:19:00	02:45:22:00	AGE IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE
02:45:22:00	02:45:22:00	PROVIDE FINANCIAL LITERACY IN

02:45:29:00	02:45:30:00	HIGH SCHOOL GOING INTO COLLEGE
02:45:30:00	02:45:31:00	I THINK IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE
02:45:31:00	02:45:33:00	PROVIDE WITH AN UNDERSTANDING

02:48:02:00	02:48:02:00	THIS IS A HEARING TO DISCUSS
02:48:02:00	02:48:03:00	THE PROPOSED ZONING AMENDMENT
02:48:03:00	02:48:06:00	TO REMOVE THE HALF MILE BUFFER
02:48:06:00	02:48:06:00	ZONE BETWEEN CANNABIS
02:48:06:00	02:48:08:00	ESTABLISHMENTS.
02:48:08:00	02:48:09:00	CURRENTLY THE BOSTON ZONING
02:48:09:00	02:48:13:00	CODE REQUIRES A BUFFER ZONE
02:48:13:00	02:48:13:00	BETWEEN SCHOOLS AND
02:48:13:00	02:48:17:00	DISPENSARIES AS WELL AS A HALF
02:48:17:00	02:48:17:00	MILE BUFFER ZONE BETWEEN
02:48:17:00	02:48:20:00	CANNABIS ESTABLISHMENTS WHICH
02:48:20:00	02:48:23:00	WAS A MEASURE PASSED IN
02:48:23:00	02:48:23:00	COUNCIL IN 2016.
02:48:23:00	02:48:24:00	THE BUFFER IS INTENDED TO
02:48:24:00	02:48:27:00	PREVENT CANNABIS ESTABLISHMENTS
02:48:27:00	02:48:31:00	FROM OPENING IN CLUSTERS SO
02:48:31:00	02:48:31:00	THAT NO PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD
02:48:31:00	02:48:32:00	WOULD BECOME THE CENTER FOR
02:48:32:00	02:48:34:00	CANNABIS SHOPS TO ENSURE
02:48:34:00	02:48:38:00	DISPENSARIES ARE SPREAD OUT
02:48:38:00	02:48:39:00	THROUGHOUT THE CITY ALLOWING
02:48:39:00	02:48:41:00	ACCESS TO PATIENTS AND
02:48:41:00	02:48:42:00	CUSTOMERS.
02:48:42:00	02:48:43:00	THERE IS NOW A PROPOSED ZONING
02:48:43:00	02:48:46:00	AMENDMENT THAT SEEKS TO ADJUST
02:48:46:00	02:48:46:00	THE BUFFER REQUIREMENT BETWEEN
02:48:46:00	02:48:50:00	CANNABIS DISPENSARIES AND
02:48:50:00	02:48:50:00	SCHOOL ENTRANCES TO 500 FEET.
02:48:50:00	02:48:54:00	THAT IS IN LINE WITH STATE
02:48:54:00	02:48:54:00	REQUIREMENTS.
02:48:54:00	02:48:57:00	HOWEVER IT WOULD ALSO REMOVE
02:48:57:00	02:48:58:00	THE HALF MILE BUFFER ZONE
02:48:58:00	02:49:01:00	BETWEEN DISPENSARIES.
02:49:01:00	02:49:02:00	OVER THE YEARS RESIDENTS IN ALL
02:49:02:00	02:49:04:00	NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE CONSISTENTLY
02:49:04:00	02:49:05:00	ADVOCATED TO ENFORCE AND ABIDE
02:49:05:00	02:49:08:00	BY THE HALF MILE BUFFER ZONE.
02:49:08:00	02:49:12:00	WITH CANNABIS PROPOSALS MANY
02:49:12:00	02:49:13:00	NOW ARE WITHIN THAT HALF MILE
02:49:13:00	02:49:13:00	ZONE.
02:49:13:00	02:49:16:00	UNFORTUNATELY MANY OF OUR
02:49:16:00	02:49:20:00	NEIGHBORS RESIDE IN DENSELY
02:49:20:00	02:49:23:00	AREA WITH EXISTING DISPENSARIES
02:49:23:00	02:49:23:00	.

02:49:28:00	02:49:31:00	THAT SERVE VULNERABLE RESIDENTS
02:49:31:00	02:49:31:00	.
02:49:31:00	02:49:32:00	REMOVING THE HALF MILE BUFFER
02:49:32:00	02:49:35:00	ZONE CAN ADD TO PUBLIC SAFETY
02:49:35:00	02:49:36:00	CHALLENGES AND QUALITY OF LIFE
02:49:36:00	02:49:36:00	ISSUES.
02:49:36:00	02:49:39:00	ONE FREQUENT COMPLAINT WE
02:49:39:00	02:49:42:00	RECEIVE IS HOW DIFFICULT IT IS
02:49:42:00	02:49:43:00	TO ENFORCE THE PUBLIC SMOKING
02:49:43:00	02:49:46:00	OF MARIJUANA.
02:49:46:00	02:49:47:00	I'VE ALREADY HEARD FROM
02:49:47:00	02:49:49:00	NEIGHBORS THAT THIS CHANGE
02:49:49:00	02:49:53:00	WOULD MAKE THE PROBLEM WORSE
02:49:53:00	02:49:57:00	ALLOWING THE HALF MILE BUFFER
02:49:57:00	02:49:57:00	TO LAPSE COULD POTENTIALLY
02:49:57:00	02:50:01:00	CREATE THE SAME DYNAMIC AS
02:50:01:00	02:50:02:00	PACKAGED IN LIQUOR STORES
02:50:02:00	02:50:05:00	OVERSATURATED THE MARKET HARM
02:50:05:00	02:50:05:00	EXISTING OPERATORS AND THE
02:50:05:00	02:50:09:00	DOWNTOWN AND BACK BAY
02:50:09:00	02:50:09:00	NEIGHBORHOODS.
02:50:09:00	02:50:10:00	I HAVE HEARD CONSISTENTLY FROM
02:50:10:00	02:50:13:00	NEIGHBORS ABOUT A CLUSTER
02:50:13:00	02:50:15:00	OF OPERATORS NOW FOUR IN THE
02:50:15:00	02:50:16:00	BACK BAY THAT RESIDENTS HAVE
02:50:16:00	02:50:19:00	CONTACTED ME ABOUT.
02:50:19:00	02:50:20:00	WE ALSO NEED TO BE MINDFUL THAT
02:50:20:00	02:50:22:00	WE'RE TRYING TO SUPPORT EQUITY
02:50:22:00	02:50:25:00	APPLICANTS.
02:50:25:00	02:50:26:00	REMOVAL OF A HALF MILE BUFFER
02:50:26:00	02:50:29:00	ZONE WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR
02:50:29:00	02:50:30:00	THEM TO COMPETE.
02:50:30:00	02:50:30:00	SHOULD A LARGE MULTISTATE
02:50:30:00	02:50:34:00	OPERATOR AND COMPANY SET UP
02:50:34:00	02:50:34:00	SHOP IN CLOSE PROXIMITY?
02:50:34:00	02:50:38:00	PROXIMITY TO THEM THEY WILL BE
02:50:38:00	02:50:41:00	COMPETING FOR THE VERY SAME
02:50:41:00	02:50:42:00	DOLLAR IN DEEP POCKETS.
02:50:42:00	02:50:45:00	THAT SEEMS LIKE THE OPPOSITE
02:50:45:00	02:50:46:00	OF WHAT WE INTENDED TO DO.
02:50:46:00	02:50:49:00	THIS DOES NOT FEEL VERY WELL
02:50:49:00	02:50:50:00	THOUGHT OUT TO ME.
02:50:50:00	02:50:53:00	I KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT
02:50:53:00	02:50:54:00	COUNCIL AND COUNCILOR JANEY
02:50:54:00	02:50:54:00	WORKED ON.
02:50:54:00	02:50:57:00	MAYOR JANEY AS WELL EQUITY IN
02:50:57:00	02:51:01:00	THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY.
02:51:01:00	02:51:02:00	WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT EACH
02:51:02:00	02:51:05:00	NEIGHBORHOOD IS UNIQUE AND HAS
02:51:05:00	02:51:05:00	DIFFERENT SETS OF CHALLENGES.
02:51:05:00	02:51:09:00	CONSTITUENTS CONTINUE TO VOICE
02:51:09:00	02:51:09:00	SUPPORT FOR THE HALF MILE
02:51:09:00	02:51:11:00	BUFFER AS THEY SEE THIS THREE

02:51:12:00	02:51:15:00	SAFEGUARD FOR THE COMMUNITY

02:51:16:00	02:51:19:00	NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON QUALITY
02:51:19:00	02:51:19:00	OF LIFE.
02:51:19:00	02:51:22:00	REMOVING THIS TAKES THE VOICE
02:51:22:00	02:51:23:00	AWAY FROM RESIDENTS.
02:51:23:00	02:51:26:00	THERE NEEDS TO BE A THOROUGH
02:51:26:00	02:51:27:00	COMMUNITY PROCESS FOR THIS
02:51:27:00	02:51:27:00	ZONING AMENDMENT BEFORE ANY

02:57:06:00	02:57:09:00	THIS IS AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION
02:57:09:00	02:57:10:00	DISCUSSION TO ENSURE THAT OUR

02:57:45:00	02:57:46:00	AGENCIES.
02:57:46:00	02:57:49:00	IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE MAINTAIN

02:57:57:00	02:58:00:00	OUR CITY AND IN PUBLIC SAFETY.
02:58:00:00	02:58:01:00	WE CAN NEVER WATER DOWN THAT

02:58:04:00	02:58:04:00	CYBER ATTACKS.
02:58:04:00	02:58:07:00	WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THE 911

02:58:12:00	02:58:15:00	HAPPENING AGAIN.
02:58:15:00	02:58:16:00	EACH DEPARTMENT SHOULD ALSO

02:58:22:00	02:58:23:00	OF ISSUES WITH THE 911 SYSTEM.
02:58:23:00	02:58:27:00	IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE EDUCATE

02:58:38:00	02:58:41:00	DID WE HAVE PLAN WHERE PEOPLE

02:58:56:00	02:58:59:00	RESIDENTS WERE CONFUSED.
02:58:59:00	02:59:00:00	THIS OUTREACH ALSO HAS TO
02:59:00:00	02:59:04:00	ENSURE THAT WE COMMUNICATE NOT
02:59:04:00	02:59:04:00	JUST IN ENGLISH BUT WE

03:01:40:00	03:01:43:00	IT WAS GREAT LEGISLATION.
03:01:43:00	03:01:45:00	IT NEEDS TO GO FURTHER IN MY
03:01:45:00	03:01:47:00	OPINION.
03:01:47:00	03:01:48:00	AS A FORMER PROBATION OFFICER I
03:01:48:00	03:01:49:00	WITNESSED THE IMPACT THAT

03:02:06:00	03:02:07:00	FRUSTRATING AND DISAPPOINTING
03:02:07:00	03:02:10:00	FOR SOMEONE WITH A QUARRY

03:02:28:00	03:02:28:00	HAVE TO LET YOU GO BECAUSE YOU
03:02:28:00	03:02:31:00	HAVE A QUARRY THAT'S OUR POLICY
03:02:31:00	03:02:35:00	THAT ALMOST FORCES THE PERSON
03:02:35:00	03:02:36:00	WITH THE QUARRY TO DO DESPERATE
03:02:36:00	03:02:38:00	THINGS.
03:02:38:00	03:02:39:00	THAT PERSON IS DOING THE RIGHT
03:02:39:00	03:02:42:00	THING, WORKING HARD, TRYING TO
03:02:42:00	03:02:43:00	GET BACK ON TRACK TO SUPPORT

03:02:46:00	03:02:47:00	AND THE LAST THING WE WANT TO
03:02:47:00	03:02:49:00	DO IS IMPACT THAT PROGRESS.
03:02:49:00	03:02:52:00	THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS
03:02:52:00	03:02:53:00	OF CRIMINAL CONVICTION

03:03:07:00	03:03:08:00	MEASURES OF WELL-BEING.
03:03:08:00	03:03:11:00	I KNOW THAT THERE ARE RECENT

03:03:28:00	03:03:30:00	FURTHER EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES
03:03:30:00	03:03:34:00	FOR PEOPLE WITH RECORDS.

03:03:54:00	03:03:59:00	THEIR FAMILY.
03:03:59:00	03:04:00:00	WE DON'T WANT QUARRIES TO BE AN
03:04:00:00	03:04:02:00	OBSTACLE FOR THEM TO DO THAT.

03:05:55:00	03:05:55:00	THIS IS A REFILE BUT I WOULD
03:05:55:00	03:05:57:00	LIKE TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT
03:05:57:00	03:05:57:00	OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON
03:05:57:00	03:05:57:00	IT.
03:05:57:00	03:06:00:00	ALL OF DISTRICT COUNCIL IS AND
03:06:00:00	03:06:01:00	PROBABLY AT-LARGE COUNCILORS
03:06:01:00	03:06:04:00	HAVE ALL HEARD CONCERNS ABOUT
03:06:04:00	03:06:05:00	HOW ABUTTERS MEETINGS ARE BEING
03:06:05:00	03:06:08:00	ARE BEING NOTIFIED HOW
03:06:08:00	03:06:12:00	RESIDENTS ARE RECEIVING THIS
03:06:12:00	03:06:12:00	NOTIFICATION.
03:06:12:00	03:06:13:00	THE MOST COMMON COMPLAINT WE
03:06:13:00	03:06:16:00	HEAR AND CODE ABOUT IS NOT
03:06:16:00	03:06:16:00	RECEIVING NOTIFICATION WHEN
03:06:16:00	03:06:19:00	THEY SHOULD HAVE.
03:06:19:00	03:06:20:00	THERE ARE CONCERNS ON WHETHER
03:06:20:00	03:06:23:00	RELIANCE ON PROPONENTS TO SEND
03:06:23:00	03:06:26:00	FLIERS TO ABUTTERS CAUSE AN
03:06:26:00	03:06:26:00	INHERENT CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
03:06:26:00	03:06:30:00	MANY NEIGHBORS ARGUE THAT THE
03:06:30:00	03:06:34:00	CITY SHOULD BE SENDING THESE
03:06:34:00	03:06:35:00	OUT WHICH THEY DO AT TIMES AND
03:06:35:00	03:06:38:00	NOT THE DEVELOPERS TO REMOVE
03:06:38:00	03:06:38:00	ANY DOUBT ABOUT NOTIFYING THE
03:06:38:00	03:06:39:00	NEIGHBORHOOD.
03:06:39:00	03:06:41:00	A PRO APPROPRIATELY ABOUT
03:06:41:00	03:06:45:00	COMMUNITY MEETINGS I DON'T
03:06:45:00	03:06:46:00	THINK IT SHOULD BE THE
03:06:46:00	03:06:46:00	DEVELOPERS NOTIFYING RESIDENTS
03:06:46:00	03:06:49:00	IN MY OPINION OTHER PEOPLE
03:06:49:00	03:06:49:00	DISAGREE.
03:06:49:00	03:06:53:00	SOME RESIDENTS HAVE ALSO NOTED
03:06:53:00	03:06:56:00	THAT THE 300 FEET NOTIFICATION

03:07:19:00	03:07:19:00	JUST YESTERDAY MY OFFICE
03:07:19:00	03:07:20:00	RECEIVED A CALL FROM A SOUTH
03:07:20:00	03:07:23:00	BOSTON NEIGHBOR DUE TO KNOW
03:07:23:00	03:07:24:00	ABOUT OR NOT RECEIVING NOTICE
03:07:24:00	03:07:27:00	FROM ESD ABOUT A ZONING CASE
03:07:27:00	03:07:28:00	WHERE THEY WERE A DIRECT A
03:07:28:00	03:07:31:00	BOROUGH AND WOULD HAVE LIKED TO
03:07:31:00	03:07:31:00	TESTIFY AGAINST THE PROPOSAL.
03:07:31:00	03:07:34:00	THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT.
03:07:34:00	03:07:38:00	FURTHERMORE, ABUTTERS MEETINGS
03:07:38:00	03:07:39:00	ARE NOW BEING POSTED ON THE
03:07:39:00	03:07:42:00	EVENTS SECTION ON THE CITY'S
03:07:42:00	03:07:43:00	WEBSITE.
03:07:43:00	03:07:45:00	ONE OF THE PAST OWNER'S
03:07:45:00	03:07:49:00	LIAISONS WOULD EMAIL US OUT TO
03:07:49:00	03:07:49:00	DISTRICT COUNCILS AND
03:07:49:00	03:07:50:00	NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND
03:07:50:00	03:07:53:00	LETTING US AND THEM KNOW ABOUT
03:07:53:00	03:07:55:00	THESE UPCOMING ABOUT HIS
03:07:55:00	03:07:59:00	MEETINGS.
03:07:59:00	03:08:00:00	IT IS UNREASONABLE TO NOW
03:08:00:00	03:08:02:00	EXPECT CONSTITUENTS IN CITY
03:08:02:00	03:08:03:00	COUNCIL OFFICES TO SEARCH AND
03:08:03:00	03:08:06:00	FIND ABOUT HIS MEETINGS ON THE
03:08:06:00	03:08:07:00	EVENT PAGE.
03:08:07:00	03:08:10:00	MAYBE CITY COUNCILORS SHOULD DO
03:08:10:00	03:08:11:00	THAT SHOULD BE DOING THAT BUT
03:08:11:00	03:08:11:00	IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR
03:08:11:00	03:08:14:00	RESIDENTS TO DO THAT.
03:08:14:00	03:08:18:00	IN MY OPINION IT SHOULD NOT BE
03:08:18:00	03:08:19:00	UP TO THEM TO FIND OUT ON THEIR
03:08:19:00	03:08:21:00	OWN ABOUT UPCOMING MEETINGS
03:08:21:00	03:08:22:00	THAT IMPACT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
03:08:22:00	03:08:25:00	THAT'S NOT FAIR.
03:08:25:00	03:08:26:00	IT'S GOING TO COME DOWN TO WHO
03:08:26:00	03:08:29:00	YOUR LIAISON IS.
03:08:29:00	03:08:29:00	IT SHOULD BE WORKING WITH
03:08:29:00	03:08:33:00	DISTRICT COUNCILORS OFFICE LIKE
03:08:33:00	03:08:36:00	WE HAD FOR THE PAST SEVEN
03:08:36:00	03:08:36:00	YEARS.
03:08:36:00	03:08:39:00	RESIDENTS EXPECT US TO BE THERE
03:08:39:00	03:08:43:00	AND WE NEED TO BE THERE IN IF A
03:08:43:00	03:08:43:00	DISTRICT COUNCILOR IS NOT AT A
03:08:43:00	03:08:47:00	MEETING OR THEIR STAFF BECAUSE
03:08:47:00	03:08:48:00	THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT A
03:08:48:00	03:08:51:00	PARTICULAR ABUTTERS MEETING.
03:08:51:00	03:08:52:00	IT LOOKS VERY BAD FOR THAT
03:08:52:00	03:08:55:00	DISTRICT COUNCILOR.
03:08:55:00	03:08:56:00	IT LOOKS BAD FOR THE CITY IN MY
03:08:56:00	03:08:56:00	OPINION.
03:08:56:00	03:08:59:00	WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS
03:08:59:00	03:08:59:00	AN ADEQUATE NOTICE TO GET
03:08:59:00	03:09:00:00	NOTIFICATION PROCESS FOR
03:09:00:00	03:09:02:00	ABUTTERS MEETINGS SO THAT
03:09:02:00	03:09:03:00	RESIDENTS IN OUR OFFICES CAN
03:09:03:00	03:09:06:00	ATTEND THE MEETINGS, RECEIVE
03:09:06:00	03:09:06:00	INFORMATION, GATHER FEEDBACK ON
03:09:06:00	03:09:10:00	PROJECTS AND PROPOSALS
03:09:10:00	03:09:10:00	IMPACTING OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.
03:09:10:00	03:09:13:00	I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS
03:09:13:00	03:09:13:00	DISCUSSION.
03:09:13:00	03:09:14:00	I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A
03:09:14:00	03:09:17:00	MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
03:09:17:00	03:09:20:00	FROM THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AND
03:09:20:00	03:09:21:00	CITY COUNCIL EXACTLY ON WHAT
03:09:21:00	03:09:24:00	THE PROCESS IS.
03:09:24:00	03:09:25:00	I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE THAT IN
03:09:25:00	03:09:28:00	WRITING SO EVERYBODY'S ON THE
03:09:28:00	03:09:28:00	SAME PAGE.
03:09:28:00	03:09:32:00	EVERYBODY IS CLEAR ON EXACTLY
03:09:32:00	03:09:33:00	WHAT IS HAPPENING, WHAT THEIR
03:09:33:00	03:09:35:00	ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES ARE
03:09:35:00	03:09:40:00	AND THAT THAT CHECKLIST IS
03:09:40:00	03:09:40:00	RESPECTED EVERY TIME THERE'S A
03:09:40:00	03:09:43:00	COMMUNITY MEETING AND TO ENSURE
03:09:43:00	03:09:47:00	THAT THE VOICES OF RESIDENTS
03:09:47:00	03:09:50:00	ARE HEARD ON ABUTTERS MEETINGS
03:09:50:00	03:09:51:00	.
03:09:51:00	03:09:51:00	BUT AGAIN I'M ASKING AND I'VE
03:09:51:00	03:09:55:00	HAD ENOUGH WITH WITH MET ON
03:09:55:00	03:09:56:00	THIS ISSUE BEFORE BUT WE NEED A
03:09:56:00	03:09:59:00	MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTAND FROM
03:09:59:00	03:09:59:00	THE CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR'S
03:09:59:00	03:10:03:00	OFFICE TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE.
03:10:03:00	03:10:07:00	DISTRICT COUNCIL IS NEED TO BE
03:10:07:00	03:10:07:00	PART OF THE PROCESS AT TIMES
03:10:07:00	03:10:11:00	THEY'RE NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT
03:10:11:00	03:10:11:00	NOTIFIED.
03:10:11:00	03:10:11:00	THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
03:10:11:00	03:10:12:00	THANK YOU.
03:10:12:00	03:10:14:00	THE CHAIR TONIGHT IS
03:10:14:00	03:10:14:00	ENTREPRENEUR ANGIE ANDERSON.
03:10:14:00	03:10:15:00	YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
03:10:15:00	03:10:18:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
03:10:18:00	03:10:18:00	THANK YOU, COUNCILOR FLYNN FOR
03:10:18:00	03:10:22:00	ALLOWING ME TO CO-SPONSOR THIS.
03:10:22:00	03:10:25:00	THIS SEEMS TO BE A SPECIAL
03:10:25:00	03:10:26:00	ISSUE IN MY DISTRICT WHERE
03:10:26:00	03:10:29:00	CONSTITUENTS HAVE COMPLAINED ON
03:10:29:00	03:10:30:00	NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ABOUT THE
03:10:30:00	03:10:33:00	LACK OF NOTIFICATION OR
03:10:33:00	03:10:33:00	COORDINATION.
03:10:33:00	03:10:37:00	I DO THINK THAT THE CITY HAS
03:10:37:00	03:10:38:00	THE RESOURCES TO BE ABLE TO
03:10:38:00	03:10:41:00	IMPLEMENT SOME SORT
03:10:41:00	03:10:41:00	OF STREAMLINED PROCESS THAT ONE
03:10:41:00	03:10:45:00	NOTIFICATION NOTIFIES FOLKS ON
03:10:45:00	03:10:45:00	TIME AND THEN WITH ADVANCE
03:10:45:00	03:10:49:00	NOTICE AS WELL AS DOING IT IN A
03:10:49:00	03:10:52:00	WAY THAT IS ACCESSIBLE TO MOST
03:10:52:00	03:10:53:00	OF OUR CONSTITUENTS.
03:10:53:00	03:10:54:00	MAYBE NOT ALL BUT AT LEAST TO
03:10:54:00	03:10:57:00	DO A BETTER JOB AT MOST.
03:10:57:00	03:11:00:00	SO I HAVE RECEIVED AGAIN
03:11:00:00	03:11:00:00	SEVERAL COMPLAINTS.
03:11:00:00	03:11:01:00	IT MAY SEEM LIKE A VERY
03:11:01:00	03:11:04:00	MINUSCULE TYPE OF ISSUE, YOU
03:11:04:00	03:11:05:00	KNOW, WHAT ARE THOSE ABUTTERS
03:11:05:00	03:11:07:00	COMPLAINING ABOUT?
03:11:07:00	03:11:08:00	WHY IS THIS SUCH A BIG DEAL?
03:11:08:00	03:11:11:00	NO, IT'S A BIG DEAL BECAUSE YOU
03:11:11:00	03:11:12:00	LIVE NEXT TO A PROPERTY.
03:11:12:00	03:11:15:00	I THINK THAT MAY CHANGE THAT
03:11:15:00	03:11:15:00	HAS THE POTENTIAL TO IMPACT
03:11:15:00	03:11:18:00	YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE.
03:11:18:00	03:11:19:00	SO THEIR INPUT AND THEIR
03:11:19:00	03:11:23:00	AWARENESS OF THE FULL SCOPE
03:11:23:00	03:11:24:00	OF THE PROJECT OF COURSE IS
03:11:24:00	03:11:27:00	IMPORTANT AND THEY SHOULD HAVE
03:11:27:00	03:11:27:00	A SAY AND WE SHOULD LISTEN.
03:11:27:00	03:11:31:00	SO LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING
03:11:31:00	03:11:32:00	THROUGH A HEARING WITH MY
03:11:32:00	03:11:32:00	COUNCIL COLLEAGUE OR AT LEAST

03:11:42:00	03:11:42:00	IT'S TRANSPARENT AND WE CAN BE
03:11:42:00	03:11:43:00	MORE INCLUSIVE OF THE
03:11:43:00	03:11:47:00	CONSTITUENTS OR ABUTTERS ON
03:11:47:00	03:11:47:00	THESE NOTIFICATIONS.
03:11:47:00	03:11:47:00	THANK YOU.
03:11:47:00	03:11:51:00	THANK YOU.
03:11:51:00	03:11:52:00	DOCKING NUMBER ZERO THREE.
03:11:52:00	03:11:53:00	WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK
03:11:53:00	03:11:53:00	ON THIS?
03:11:53:00	03:11:54:00	MALIK KAZIM HERE YOU HAVE THE
03:11:54:00	03:11:54:00	FLOOR.
03:11:54:00	03:11:54:00	YEP.
03:11:54:00	03:11:55:00	I BELIEVE CO-SPONSORS ARE
03:11:55:00	03:11:58:00	ALLOWED TO SPEAK SO THANK YOU
03:11:58:00	03:11:58:00	FOR RECOGNIZING ME.
03:11:58:00	03:11:59:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
03:11:59:00	03:12:01:00	I WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES
03:12:01:00	03:12:02:00	FOR FILING THIS AND THANK YOU
03:12:02:00	03:12:05:00	TO COUNCILOR FLYNN FOR ADDING
03:12:05:00	03:12:05:00	ME.
03:12:05:00	03:12:08:00	I ACTUALLY STARTED A CIVIC
03:12:08:00	03:12:11:00	ASSOCIATION IN 20 2017.
03:12:11:00	03:12:14:00	I BELIEVE IT WAS CALLED DONE TO
03:12:14:00	03:12:15:00	DORCHESTER UNITED NEIGHBORHOOD
03:12:15:00	03:12:19:00	ASSOCIATION ALONGSIDE DON AND
03:12:19:00	03:12:22:00	ROBIN FROM DORCHESTER BECAUSE
03:12:22:00	03:12:26:00	THERE WAS AN ILLEGAL BOARDING
03:12:26:00	03:12:26:00	HOUSE FOR LEVEL THREE SEX
03:12:26:00	03:12:30:00	OFFENDERS THAT WE DID NOT KNOW
03:12:30:00	03:12:31:00	ABOUT.
03:12:31:00	03:12:34:00	AND SO DURING IN THE PROCESS
03:12:34:00	03:12:35:00	OF CREATING THIS CIVIC
03:12:35:00	03:12:38:00	ASSOCIATION WE HAD TO DO OUR
03:12:38:00	03:12:38:00	OWN DOOR KNOCKING.
03:12:38:00	03:12:41:00	WE HAD TO NOTIFY EVERYONE ABOUT
03:12:41:00	03:12:42:00	WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN AND
03:12:42:00	03:12:42:00	AROUND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
03:12:42:00	03:12:45:00	AND I THINK THAT NOTIFICATION
03:12:45:00	03:12:46:00	PROCESSES USUALLY BEAR THE
03:12:46:00	03:12:48:00	BRUNT ON THIS CIVIC
03:12:48:00	03:12:49:00	ASSOCIATIONS AND FOLKS WHO ARE
03:12:49:00	03:12:52:00	TRYING TO ADVOCATE ON BEHALF
03:12:52:00	03:12:53:00	OF A PARTICULAR PROJECT.
03:12:53:00	03:12:56:00	AND SO I REALLY DO APPRECIATE
03:12:56:00	03:12:59:00	THE FAILURES FOR UNDERSTANDING
03:12:59:00	03:13:03:00	THAT THE ROLE OF THE CITY IN
03:13:03:00	03:13:04:00	THE RESPONSIBILITY AND BECAUSE
03:13:04:00	03:13:04:00	I THINK THAT OFTENTIMES PEOPLE
03:13:04:00	03:13:05:00	ARE GOING TO PASS IT ON TO
03:13:05:00	03:13:07:00	THOSE WHO ARE GOING TO BE MOST
03:13:07:00	03:13:08:00	IMPACTED WITH THE HOPE THAT
03:13:08:00	03:13:09:00	WE'RE NOT GOING TO SHOW UP TO
03:13:09:00	03:13:11:00	FIGHT FOR OURSELVES.
03:13:11:00	03:13:11:00	SO I JUST WANT TO THANK
03:13:11:00	03:13:12:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN AND I'M LOOKING
03:13:12:00	03:13:15:00	FORWARD TO HAVING THIS
03:13:15:00	03:13:15:00	DISCUSSION AND MORE IMPORTANTLY
03:13:15:00	03:13:18:00	COMING TO SOME SOLUTIONS IN
03:13:18:00	03:13:19:00	TERMS OF HOW WE FIX THIS
03:13:19:00	03:13:19:00	PROBLEM.
03:13:19:00	03:13:19:00	THANK YOU.
03:13:19:00	03:13:22:00	THANK YOU.
03:13:22:00	03:13:22:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
03:13:22:00	03:13:23:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY ON THE FLOOR.
03:13:23:00	03:13:26:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
03:13:26:00	03:13:26:00	AND THANK YOU TO THE SPONSORS
03:13:26:00	03:13:27:00	OF THIS.
03:13:27:00	03:13:29:00	AND I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT
03:13:29:00	03:13:29:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN MENTIONED
03:13:29:00	03:13:30:00	BECAUSE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE
03:13:30:00	03:13:31:00	THERE HAVE BEEN MANY NEW
03:13:31:00	03:13:34:00	POSITIONS ADDED OR CHANGES IN
03:13:34:00	03:13:34:00	JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND
03:13:34:00	03:13:38:00	EXPECTATIONS AS IN THE OFFICE
03:13:38:00	03:13:39:00	OF NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES
03:13:39:00	03:13:39:00	BECAUSE IT WAS THE NEIGHBORHOOD
03:13:39:00	03:13:41:00	LIAISON TOOK CARE OF EVERYTHING
03:13:41:00	03:13:42:00	AND WAS REACHING OUT EVEN TO
03:13:42:00	03:13:45:00	ME AS AN OUT LARGE COUNCILOR I
03:13:45:00	03:13:46:00	GOT A LOT OF CORRESPONDENCE
03:13:46:00	03:13:48:00	DIRECTLY FROM OWNER SO IF THERE
03:13:48:00	03:13:49:00	IS A CHANGE IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
03:13:49:00	03:13:50:00	WE KNOW BECAUSE WHEN RESIDENTS
03:13:50:00	03:13:53:00	ASK WHY WEREN'T YOU ON
03:13:53:00	03:13:53:00	SOMETHING, WHY WEREN'T YOU AT A
03:13:53:00	03:13:56:00	MEETING AND YOU WEREN'T AWARE
03:13:56:00	03:13:56:00	OF IT, IT'S NOT A GOOD THING
03:13:56:00	03:14:00:00	AND WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE PLENTY
03:14:00:00	03:14:01:00	OF STAFF AND VERY CAPABLE
03:14:01:00	03:14:04:00	PEOPLE AND THAT DEPARTMENT OR
03:14:04:00	03:14:05:00	IF IT'S OTHER DEPARTMENTS WHO
03:14:05:00	03:14:06:00	NEED TO SUPPORT TO MAKE SURE
03:14:06:00	03:14:08:00	WE'RE AWARE OF THESE IMPORTANT
03:14:08:00	03:14:08:00	MEETINGS.
03:14:08:00	03:14:08:00	THANK YOU.

03:21:59:00	03:22:00:00	ABOUT THE LANDMARKS COMMISSION
03:22:00:00	03:22:04:00	IN ITSELF BUT JUST THE FUNCTION

03:23:31:00	03:23:33:00	THIS SUBJECT UP.
03:23:33:00	03:23:34:00	IT'S AN IMPORTANT MATTER.
03:23:34:00	03:23:36:00	I THINK RESIDENTS WANT TO KNOW
03:23:36:00	03:23:37:00	EXACTLY WHAT THE BOSTON
03:23:37:00	03:23:40:00	LANDMARKS COMMISSION DOES, THE
03:23:40:00	03:23:44:00	IMPACT IT HAS ON RESIDENTS AND
03:23:44:00	03:23:44:00	NEIGHBORHOODS.
03:23:44:00	03:23:48:00	I DO KNOW THAT THE CITY
03:23:48:00	03:23:48:00	COUNCIL ALSO VOTES TO APPROVE
03:23:48:00	03:23:49:00	THE MEMBERS OF THE LANDMARK
03:23:49:00	03:23:51:00	COMMISSION AND ONE OF THE
03:23:51:00	03:23:55:00	MEMBERS WAS HERE LAST YEAR
03:23:55:00	03:23:55:00	TALKING ABOUT A PARTICULAR
03:23:55:00	03:23:59:00	SUBJECT AND I WANTED TO FOLLOW
03:23:59:00	03:24:00:00	UP WITH THAT MEMBER ABOUT THE
03:24:00:00	03:24:00:00	SUBJECT THAT THE MEMBER WAS
03:24:00:00	03:24:04:00	TALKING ABOUT AND I WAS TOLD
03:24:04:00	03:24:04:00	THAT THAT PARTICULAR SUBJECT
03:24:04:00	03:24:07:00	WAS WAS WITHOUT I COULDN'T ASK
03:24:07:00	03:24:08:00	THAT QUESTION FOR FOR VARIOUS
03:24:08:00	03:24:13:00	REASONS.
03:24:13:00	03:24:17:00	LET'S FAST FORWARD THERE'S BEEN
03:24:17:00	03:24:18:00	A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT WHITE
03:24:18:00	03:24:21:00	STADIUM AND I ASKED A QUESTION
03:24:21:00	03:24:25:00	RECENTLY I ASKED DOES THE
03:24:25:00	03:24:28:00	LANDMARK COMMISSION HAVE
03:24:28:00	03:24:28:00	ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANY
03:24:28:00	03:24:32:00	DECISIONS MADE AT WHITE'S
03:24:32:00	03:24:32:00	STADIUM?
03:24:32:00	03:24:36:00	AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE ANSWER
03:24:36:00	03:24:37:00	WAS NO THAT THE LANDMARK
03:24:37:00	03:24:38:00	COMMISSION HAS NOTHING TO DO
03:24:38:00	03:24:40:00	WITH WHITE STADIUM AND I
03:24:40:00	03:24:40:00	ACCEPTED THAT ANSWER.
03:24:40:00	03:24:43:00	I DON'T I DON'T NECESSARILY
03:24:43:00	03:24:47:00	AGREE WITH IT BUT I ACCEPTED IT
03:24:47:00	03:24:48:00	AT THAT TIME I DID A LITTLE BIT
03:24:48:00	03:24:48:00	OF RESEARCH BUT I DO THINK
03:24:48:00	03:24:51:00	THERE IS SOME CONNECTION
03:24:51:00	03:24:51:00	BETWEEN THE LANDMARKS
03:24:51:00	03:24:55:00	COMMISSION AND WHITE STADIUM IN
03:24:55:00	03:24:58:00	MY IN MY OPINION ONLY I'M NOT
03:24:58:00	03:24:59:00	SPEAKING FOR ANYBODY ELSE BUT
03:24:59:00	03:25:02:00	RESIDENTS HAVE ASKED ME IS
03:25:02:00	03:25:03:00	THERE A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE
03:25:03:00	03:25:05:00	BOSTON LANDMARKS COMMISSION AND
03:25:05:00	03:25:06:00	THE ONGOING DISCUSSION ABOUT
03:25:06:00	03:25:09:00	WHITE STADIUM?
03:25:09:00	03:25:10:00	I DON'T HAVE I DON'T HAVE A
03:25:10:00	03:25:13:00	GOOD ANSWER BUT I THINK OTHER
03:25:13:00	03:25:14:00	PEOPLE IN THIS BUILDING DO HAVE
03:25:14:00	03:25:17:00	A BETTER ANSWER THAN I DO AND I
03:25:17:00	03:25:17:00	THINK THAT'S WHAT COUNCILOR ME
03:25:17:00	03:25:20:00	HERE IS ASKING WHAT IS THE
03:25:20:00	03:25:20:00	PROCESS?
03:25:20:00	03:25:21:00	WHAT IS HAPPENING?
03:25:21:00	03:25:24:00	CAN RESIDENTS ACTUALLY GET
03:25:24:00	03:25:25:00	INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT'S
03:25:25:00	03:25:28:00	HAPPENING AT THE BOSTON LAND
03:25:28:00	03:25:29:00	LANDMARKS COMMISSION?
03:25:29:00	03:25:29:00	IS THE CITY COUNCIL GOING TO
03:25:29:00	03:25:33:00	ASK ANY LANDMARKS COMMISSION
03:25:33:00	03:25:33:00	MEMBERS TO COME DOWN HERE AND
03:25:33:00	03:25:36:00	TO SPEAK AND TO TALK ABOUT WHAT
03:25:36:00	03:25:37:00	THEY WORK ON I THINK WOULD BE
03:25:37:00	03:25:40:00	FASCINATED TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT
03:25:40:00	03:25:41:00	THEY WORK ON.
03:25:41:00	03:25:41:00	I THINK THE RESIDENTS WANT TO
03:25:41:00	03:25:44:00	KNOW WHAT THEY WORK ON AS WELL
03:25:44:00	03:25:44:00	.

03:25:45:00	03:25:45:00	THERE.
03:25:45:00	03:25:48:00	I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A
03:25:48:00	03:25:49:00	CONNECTION BETWEEN THE LANDMARK
03:25:49:00	03:25:52:00	COMMISSION AND WHITE STADIUM IF

03:30:28:00	03:30:32:00	WOULD WANT MORE CHARACTER
03:30:32:00	03:30:32:00	DEFINED BECAUSE MY COMMITTEE IS
03:30:32:00	03:30:35:00	TITLED POST AUDIT AND SO WHAT I
03:30:35:00	03:30:36:00	AM TRYING TO DO IS HAVE A
03:30:36:00	03:30:39:00	BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW WE
03:30:39:00	03:30:39:00	ARE CONDUCTING THE PEOPLE'S
03:30:39:00	03:30:43:00	BUSINESS HERE IN THE CITY
03:30:43:00	03:30:43:00	OF BOSTON.
03:30:43:00	03:30:44:00	THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE
03:30:44:00	03:30:46:00	OF PLANNING OR DEVELOPMENT.
03:30:46:00	03:30:47:00	THIS IS AN ISSUE SPECIFICALLY
03:30:47:00	03:30:50:00	GEARED TOWARDS AUDITING AND
03:30:50:00	03:30:51:00	HAVING A BETTER UNDERSTANDING
03:30:51:00	03:30:55:00	OF HOW EFFICIENT WE ARE BEING
03:30:55:00	03:30:55:00	AND WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE
03:30:55:00	03:30:59:00	UPHOLDING THE LEGISLATIVE
03:30:59:00	03:30:59:00	INTENT OF A PARTICULAR
03:30:59:00	03:31:02:00	DEPARTMENT.
03:31:02:00	03:31:03:00	AND WHILE I DO APPRECIATE THE
03:31:03:00	03:31:06:00	INTERPRETATION AND
03:31:06:00	03:31:07:00	UNDERSTANDING THAT THE
03:31:07:00	03:31:10:00	LEADERSHIP I THINK AND WHAT I
03:31:10:00	03:31:14:00	STRUGGLE WITH HERE IS THE THE
03:31:14:00	03:31:15:00	PRESIDENTS THAT WE ARE SETTING
03:31:15:00	03:31:18:00	IN TERMS OF HOW WE ARE CHOOSING
03:31:18:00	03:31:19:00	TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO DO THEIR
03:31:19:00	03:31:21:00	JOBS BECAUSE THIS IS A MATTER
03:31:21:00	03:31:25:00	OF ABOUT ME BEING ABLE TO DO MY
03:31:25:00	03:31:29:00	WORK AND SO I AM GOING TO ASK
03:31:29:00	03:31:30:00	MY COLLEAGUES YOU CAN THIS IS I
03:31:30:00	03:31:31:00	DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANTED A
03:31:31:00	03:31:33:00	RECESS TO GOOGLE WHAT AUDITING
03:31:33:00	03:31:36:00	IS BUT WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS
03:31:36:00	03:31:37:00	AUDIT THE PROCESS PROTOCOLS,
03:31:37:00	03:31:40:00	POLICIES AND PROCEDURES THAT
03:31:40:00	03:31:41:00	RELATE TO A LEGISLATIVE INTENT.
03:31:41:00	03:31:45:00	AND SO I FIND IT REALLY
03:31:45:00	03:31:48:00	CHALLENGING, RIGHT, THAT MY
03:31:48:00	03:31:49:00	DEMEANOR AND THE WAY THAT I
03:31:49:00	03:31:50:00	SPEAK AND HOW I SHOW UP IN THIS
03:31:50:00	03:31:53:00	CHAMBER OFTENTIMES GETS
03:31:53:00	03:31:53:00	CONFUSED WITH WHAT I'M TRYING
03:31:53:00	03:31:56:00	TO COMMUNICATE.
03:31:56:00	03:31:57:00	SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS IN
03:31:57:00	03:32:00:00	THE BEST FORM ASK US TO
03:32:00:00	03:32:04:00	UNDERSTAND AND TO SEE HOW THESE
03:32:04:00	03:32:04:00	PROTOCOLS, POLICIES AND
03:32:04:00	03:32:07:00	PROCEDURES AND PROMOTE MENTAL
03:32:07:00	03:32:10:00	PROCESSES PREVENT PEOPLE LIKE
03:32:10:00	03:32:11:00	ME FROM BEING ABLE TO DO MY
03:32:11:00	03:32:11:00	JOB.
03:32:11:00	03:32:12:00	AND SO I JUST WANT EVERYBODY TO
03:32:12:00	03:32:14:00	WHO'S PAYING ATTENTION TO SEE
03:32:14:00	03:32:15:00	THAT THIS IS JUST ANOTHER
03:32:15:00	03:32:18:00	EXAMPLE OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
03:32:18:00	03:32:19:00	TO SHOW UP HERE TRYING TO DO
03:32:19:00	03:32:22:00	THE PEOPLE'S WORK AND
03:32:22:00	03:32:22:00	CONTINUOUSLY BE SHUT DOWN FOR
03:32:22:00	03:32:25:00	IT.
03:32:25:00	03:32:26:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
03:32:26:00	03:32:28:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY ON THE FLOOR.
03:32:28:00	03:32:29:00	THANK YOU.
03:32:29:00	03:32:32:00	I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THROUGH YOU
03:32:32:00	03:32:33:00	IF YOU COULD GIVE AN
03:32:33:00	03:32:33:00	EXPLANATION OF WHY NOT JUST
03:32:33:00	03:32:36:00	THAT YOU DISAGREE IF YOU COULD
03:32:36:00	03:32:37:00	AND IF YOU ALREADY DID IF YOU
03:32:37:00	03:32:37:00	COULD EXPAND ON IT.
03:32:37:00	03:32:40:00	I STATED THAT THE THE COMMITTEE
03:32:40:00	03:32:41:00	OF PLANNING DEVELOPMENT
03:32:41:00	03:32:44:00	TRANSPORTATION HAS SPECIFIC
03:32:44:00	03:32:44:00	OVERSIGHT OVER THE BOSTON
03:32:44:00	03:32:45:00	LANDMARKS COMMISSION AND
03:32:45:00	03:32:48:00	OVERSIGHT IS INCLUSIVE OF WHAT
03:32:48:00	03:32:51:00	IS IN THIS DOCKET.
03:32:51:00	03:32:51:00	OKAY.
03:32:51:00	03:32:52:00	BUT IF WE KNOW THAT
03:32:52:00	03:32:55:00	COUNCILOR MEJIA LAST TIME
03:32:55:00	03:32:56:00	BECAUSE WE HAD A RECESS AT THE
03:32:56:00	03:32:57:00	LAST MEETING WHEN THERE WAS
03:32:57:00	03:33:00:00	QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS AND WE ARE
03:33:00:00	03:33:00:00	AWARE OF HER INTENT OF THE
03:33:00:00	03:33:03:00	CONVERSATION AND IT WAS VERY
03:33:03:00	03:33:04:00	TELLING OR WHO DIDN'T EVEN WANT
03:33:04:00	03:33:04:00	TO SIGN ON.
03:33:04:00	03:33:07:00	IT'S LIKE WE'RE AFRAID TO EVEN
03:33:07:00	03:33:07:00	ASK QUESTIONS HERE.
03:33:07:00	03:33:10:00	I MEAN THAT'S OUR JOB.
03:33:10:00	03:33:14:00	IT'S HARD SOMETIMES.
03:33:14:00	03:33:14:00	SOMETIMES MY VOICE SHAKES.
03:33:14:00	03:33:18:00	SOMETIMES I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW,
03:33:18:00	03:33:18:00	THINGS WILL HAPPEN FROM THE
03:33:18:00	03:33:19:00	ADMINISTRATION ON MY COLLEAGUES
03:33:19:00	03:33:22:00	THAT MAY NOT BE POLITICALLY FUN
03:33:22:00	03:33:25:00	BUT AT THE SAME TIME OUR JOB IS
03:33:25:00	03:33:26:00	TO ASK QUESTIONS AND IF THERE
03:33:26:00	03:33:29:00	IS A COMMITTEE ON JUST THAT I
03:33:29:00	03:33:30:00	DON'T SEE WHY WE'RE AFRAID TO
03:33:30:00	03:33:33:00	PUT IT IN THAT COMMITTEE IN A
03:33:33:00	03:33:34:00	RECESS WOULD ALLOW SO THAT
03:33:34:00	03:33:37:00	EVERYONE INCLUDING
03:33:37:00	03:33:37:00	COUNCILOR MEJIA BUT NOT JUST

03:33:42:00	03:33:45:00	THEIR STAFF AND MAYBE THEY'RE
03:33:45:00	03:33:45:00	NOT GOING TO BE SPEAKING NEXT
03:33:45:00	03:33:46:00	JUST TO ENSURE THAT NOBODY
03:33:46:00	03:33:49:00	FEELS LIKE ONCE THE DECISIONS
03:33:49:00	03:33:50:00	ARE MADE IT'S TOO LATE TO GO
03:33:50:00	03:33:50:00	BACK.
03:33:50:00	03:33:52:00	WHY NOT JUST HONOR A FEW
03:33:52:00	03:33:53:00	MINUTES OF A RECESS SO THAT NOT
03:33:53:00	03:33:54:00	I'M NOT GOING TO SPEAK FOR
03:33:54:00	03:33:57:00	ANYONE ELSE BUT THAT WE CAN
03:33:57:00	03:34:00:00	MAKE SURE THAT ONCE WE VOTE WE
03:34:00:00	03:34:01:00	KNOW WHAT WHAT WE JUST DID.

03:44:42:00	03:44:46:00	WORK AND IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING
03:44:46:00	03:44:49:00	THAT WE'RE UTILIZING PROCEDURAL
03:44:49:00	03:44:53:00	TACTICS TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM

03:49:31:00	03:49:34:00	HAD AGAIN PROUD PART OF PUBLIC
03:49:34:00	03:49:35:00	HOUSING BUT WE'RE NOT SEPARATED
03:49:35:00	03:49:38:00	BY INCOME AND PUBLIC HOUSING.
03:49:38:00	03:49:42:00	YOU KNOW ONCE PEOPLE MOVE IN
03:49:42:00	03:49:43:00	THE FUNDING GETS PAID BACK AS
03:49:43:00	03:49:43:00	RESIDENTS MOVE INTO THEIR NEW
03:49:43:00	03:49:43:00	HOMES.
03:49:43:00	03:49:46:00	OUR PUBLIC FUNDS GET REPAID
03:49:46:00	03:49:47:00	FROM THE RENT OR HOME SALES
03:49:47:00	03:49:50:00	JUST LIKE ANY PRIVATE INVESTOR
03:49:50:00	03:49:50:00	WOULD AND BOSTON EARNS INTEREST
03:49:50:00	03:49:53:00	THIS IS A SMART INVESTING NOT A
03:49:53:00	03:49:53:00	GIVEAWAY.
03:49:53:00	03:49:57:00	THE PUBLIC FUND GETS REPAID
03:49:57:00	03:49:57:00	WITH INTEREST JUST LIKE YOU
03:49:57:00	03:50:00:00	DEMAND FROM ANY GOOD AND THE
03:50:00:00	03:50:01:00	POINT OF THIS IS THAT WE
03:50:01:00	03:50:02:00	CONTINUE TO DO THIS OVER AND
03:50:02:00	03:50:04:00	OVER AGAIN.
03:50:04:00	03:50:05:00	WE WILL BUILD MORE HOMES.
03:50:05:00	03:50:08:00	THE MAGIC IS THAT THIS IS AN
03:50:08:00	03:50:09:00	EXPENSE I REALLY WANT TO FOCUS
03:50:09:00	03:50:13:00	ON THE INVESTMENT PIECE OF THIS
03:50:13:00	03:50:14:00	AND RIGHT NOW AS PARTICIPANTS

03:50:16:00	03:50:17:00	CONTINUE TO BE SO THIS IS A
03:50:17:00	03:50:20:00	GREAT TOOL THAT WE SHOULD HAVE

04:01:54:00	04:01:57:00	IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE FIRE

04:02:17:00	04:02:21:00	ADMINISTERS HOW THE FIRE
04:02:21:00	04:02:21:00	DEPARTMENT IS USING THEM.
04:02:21:00	04:02:25:00	WHAT ABOUT BACKUP RESOURCES AS
04:02:25:00	04:02:26:00	THERE ARE IF THEY DON'T SECURE
04:02:26:00	04:02:28:00	THE GRANTS THEY NEED?

04:07:02:00	04:07:03:00	I WAS HERE LAST YEAR FOR THE FY
04:07:03:00	04:07:04:00	ONE AND IF I LOOK AHEAD IN THE

04:07:06:00	04:07:07:00	GOING TO BE TRYING TO DO THE
04:07:07:00	04:07:09:00	SAME THING FOR THE BOSTON

04:07:14:00	04:07:17:00	BEEN SPECIFIC GRANTS SO I JUST
04:07:17:00	04:07:18:00	ASKING OBVIOUSLY IF THE NEW
04:07:18:00	04:07:18:00	GRANT COMES OUT OR IF THERE IS

04:07:29:00	04:07:33:00	I HAD ALSO HEARD AND I'M NOT
04:07:33:00	04:07:34:00	SURE IF IT'S TRUE BUT FROM A
04:07:34:00	04:07:36:00	DEPARTMENT HEAD THAT THE
04:07:36:00	04:07:36:00	ASSESSING DEPARTMENT MIGHT BE
04:07:36:00	04:07:40:00	ADJUSTING THE LIMIT SO THAT ALL
04:07:40:00	04:07:41:00	GRANTS MAY NOT COME THROUGH US
04:07:41:00	04:07:44:00	ANY MORE DEPENDING ON THE

04:07:44:00	04:07:45:00	SMALLER AMOUNT GRANTS.

04:07:48:00	04:07:49:00	LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
04:07:49:00	04:07:51:00	NOT JUST GIVING UP OUR POWER
04:07:51:00	04:07:52:00	BECAUSE EVEN IF IT'S A SMALL
04:07:52:00	04:07:53:00	AMOUNT IT MAY MAKE A BIG IMPACT
04:07:53:00	04:07:56:00	AND HAVE, YOU KNOW, A NECESSARY
04:07:56:00	04:07:57:00	NEED FOR US TO TALK AND MAKE
04:07:57:00	04:07:59:00	SURE THE PUBLIC HAS AN

04:08:25:00	04:08:26:00	I THINK THE POINT OF THIS IS TO
04:08:26:00	04:08:26:00	TRY TO GET AWAY SOME OF THE I
04:08:26:00	04:08:28:00	DON'T WANT TO JUST PULL FROM

04:08:33:00	04:08:33:00	DOLLAR AMOUNTS WITH THIS THIS
04:08:33:00	04:08:36:00	HEARING ORDER JUST GIVES US THE

04:36:30:00	04:36:33:00	NEW INTO THE NEW DEPARTMENT
04:36:33:00	04:36:34:00	WITH THE GOAL OF STRENGTHENING
04:36:34:00	04:36:34:00	OUR PLANNING CAPABILITIES AND
04:36:34:00	04:36:38:00	BETTER SERVING OUR COMMUNITIES.
04:36:38:00	04:36:39:00	HOWEVER, PRIOR TO THE
04:36:39:00	04:36:41:00	TRANSITION BOTH STAFF AND
04:36:41:00	04:36:42:00	RESIDENTS RAISED VALID CONCERNS
04:36:42:00	04:36:45:00	AROUND THE STRUCTURE,
04:36:45:00	04:36:45:00	TRANSPARENCY AND OVERALL
04:36:45:00	04:36:46:00	EFFECTIVENESS OF PLANNING IN
04:36:46:00	04:36:49:00	OUR CITY.
04:36:49:00	04:36:50:00	IT IS FOR THESE REASONS THAT IT
04:36:50:00	04:36:52:00	IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE ASSESS
04:36:52:00	04:36:53:00	HOW THE NEW PLANNING DEPARTMENT
04:36:53:00	04:36:53:00	IS OPERATING, ENSURING IT
04:36:53:00	04:36:57:00	ALIGNS WITH THE CITY'S GOALS
04:36:57:00	04:36:57:00	AND THE NEEDS OF OUR
04:36:57:00	04:36:57:00	NEIGHBORHOODS.
04:36:57:00	04:37:00:00	WE MUST ALSO MAKE SURE THAT ANY
04:37:00:00	04:37:01:00	CONCERNS RAISED BEFORE THE
04:37:01:00	04:37:04:00	TRANSITION ARE BEING ADEQUATELY
04:37:04:00	04:37:04:00	ADDRESSED.
04:37:04:00	04:37:05:00	THIS HEARING WILL ALLOW US TO
04:37:05:00	04:37:08:00	REVIEW THE TRANSITION AND
04:37:08:00	04:37:09:00	PROCESS, EVALUATE THE
04:37:09:00	04:37:09:00	DEPARTMENT'S PROGRESS AND HAVE
04:37:09:00	04:37:12:00	A FRAME DISCUSSION ABOUT ITS
04:37:12:00	04:37:13:00	CURRENT OPERATIONS,
04:37:13:00	04:37:15:00	ACHIEVEMENTS AND ANY CHALLENGES
04:37:15:00	04:37:16:00	IT MAY BE FACING.
04:37:16:00	04:37:17:00	MOST IMPORTANTLY, THIS HEARING
04:37:17:00	04:37:20:00	WILL PROVIDE WITH THE
04:37:20:00	04:37:20:00	OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE THE
04:37:20:00	04:37:24:00	NEW CHIEF OF PLANNING TO THE
04:37:24:00	04:37:25:00	COUNCIL EVEN THOUGH NOW I DON'T
04:37:25:00	04:37:25:00	THINK HE'D CONSIDER HIMSELF
04:37:25:00	04:37:28:00	THAT NEW INTO THE PUBLIC
04:37:28:00	04:37:28:00	FOSTERING TRANSPARENCY,
04:37:28:00	04:37:29:00	COLLABORATION AND A SHARED
04:37:29:00	04:37:32:00	UNDERSTANDING OF THE
04:37:32:00	04:37:32:00	DEPARTMENT'S VISION AND
04:37:32:00	04:37:35:00	OBJECTIVES MOVING FORWARD.
04:37:35:00	04:37:36:00	I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS HEARING
04:37:36:00	04:37:41:00	THIS DISCUSSION AND A HEARING

04:37:41:00	04:37:42:00	STAKEHOLDERS TO WORK TOGETHER.
04:37:42:00	04:37:44:00	I JUST ALSO WANT TO STATE THAT
04:37:44:00	04:37:47:00	BACK ON NOVEMBER SIX THERE WAS
04:37:47:00	04:37:51:00	A DISCUSSION ON THIS FLOOR AT
04:37:51:00	04:37:52:00	THAT MEETING AND I HAD ASKED AT
04:37:52:00	04:37:55:00	THAT COUNCIL MEETING REQUESTED

04:38:02:00	04:38:02:00	CHIEF OF PLANNING.
04:38:02:00	04:38:03:00	I WAS TOLD AT THAT MEETING THAT
04:38:03:00	04:38:06:00	I SHOULD JUST CALL UP TO THE
04:38:06:00	04:38:07:00	PLANNING DEPARTMENT, DO WHAT

04:38:24:00	04:38:25:00	STILL HASN'T HAPPENED.
04:38:25:00	04:38:28:00	SO I DO JUST WANT TO SAY EVEN
04:38:28:00	04:38:28:00	THOUGH IN THEORY IT MAY SEEM
04:38:28:00	04:38:32:00	LIKE OH WHY DON'T YOU JUST DO
04:38:32:00	04:38:32:00	WHAT I DO?

04:38:39:00	04:38:42:00	INTRODUCE AND MEET NEW
04:38:42:00	04:38:42:00	DEPARTMENT AND SO I'M LOOKING
04:38:42:00	04:38:46:00	FORWARD TO THAT OPPORTUNITY IN
04:38:46:00	04:38:46:00	THE HEARING.
04:38:46:00	04:38:47:00	SO NOW WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE

04:39:12:00	04:39:12:00	THE TRANSITION OCCURRING, I
04:39:12:00	04:39:13:00	FEEL THE RESPONSIBILITY TO

04:39:55:00	04:39:58:00	IT ALLOWED AM I CAN WE CHANGE
04:39:58:00	04:39:58:00	THIS?
04:39:58:00	04:40:01:00	ALL RIGHT, SO LET ME JUST FOCUS
04:40:01:00	04:40:02:00	REALLY QUICK AND I LIKE THE
04:40:02:00	04:40:05:00	WITTY BANTER HERE SO NO, I WAS
04:40:05:00	04:40:06:00	JUST STARTING OFF WITH MY
04:40:06:00	04:40:09:00	DRAMATIC ENTRANCE JUST REALLY
04:40:09:00	04:40:10:00	NOTING FOR THE RECORD THAT I
04:40:10:00	04:40:13:00	HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT SINCE THE
04:40:13:00	04:40:13:00	MOMENT I WALKED INTO THIS
04:40:13:00	04:40:16:00	CHAMBER REGARDLESS OF WHO IS
04:40:16:00	04:40:17:00	THE BIG BOSS IN THIS BUILDING,
04:40:17:00	04:40:20:00	MY VOICE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT
04:40:20:00	04:40:21:00	MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE BEING
04:40:21:00	04:40:27:00	ACCOUNTABLE TO AND AND LEADING
04:40:27:00	04:40:28:00	WITH FIDELITY IN TERMS OF THE
04:40:28:00	04:40:32:00	GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE
04:40:32:00	04:40:32:00	LEGISLATIVE INTENT OF WHATEVER
04:40:32:00	04:40:33:00	IT IS THAT WE PROPOSE.
04:40:33:00	04:40:36:00	AND SO I JUST WANT TO JUST KNOW
04:40:36:00	04:40:37:00	FOR THE RECORD THAT THIS WHOLE
04:40:37:00	04:40:40:00	IDEA WAS ALL ABOUT ABOLISHING
04:40:40:00	04:40:40:00	THE BPA.
04:40:40:00	04:40:43:00	IT IS THEN TRANSITIONED INTO
04:40:43:00	04:40:43:00	THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND
04:40:43:00	04:40:47:00	WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN THE LAST
04:40:47:00	04:40:47:00	YOU KNOW I THINK IT WAS LAST
04:40:47:00	04:40:51:00	YEAR THAT I WAS FIGHTING FOR
04:40:51:00	04:40:51:00	SOME SORT OF A LITTLE AMENDMENT
04:40:51:00	04:40:55:00	OR CLAUSE THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR
04:40:55:00	04:40:55:00	MORE PARTICIPATION FROM
04:40:55:00	04:40:56:00	COMMUNITY.
04:40:56:00	04:40:58:00	IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING THAT
04:40:58:00	04:40:59:00	DEALS WITH PLANNING STILL FEELS
04:40:59:00	04:41:02:00	VERY MUCH SIMILAR TO WHAT THE
04:41:02:00	04:41:03:00	WAY THINGS USED TO BE.
04:41:03:00	04:41:06:00	SO I'M REALLY FORWARD TO HAVING
04:41:06:00	04:41:07:00	THIS HEARING SO THAT WE CAN
04:41:07:00	04:41:09:00	REALLY GET INTO THE WEEDS
04:41:09:00	04:41:10:00	OF WHAT IT IS THAT WE CAN DO
04:41:10:00	04:41:13:00	DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE WE WENT
04:41:13:00	04:41:17:00	REALLY HARD ON ABOLISHING THE
04:41:17:00	04:41:20:00	BPA AND NOW WE HAVE AN
04:41:20:00	04:41:21:00	OPPORTUNITY TO BECAUSE IT'S
04:41:21:00	04:41:24:00	PART OF OUR BUDGET, RIGHT?
04:41:24:00	04:41:25:00	IT FALLS UNDER THE CITY
04:41:25:00	04:41:25:00	OF BOSTON.
04:41:25:00	04:41:28:00	IT'S GOING TO COME THROUGH
04:41:28:00	04:41:29:00	HERE.
04:41:29:00	04:41:29:00	WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN
04:41:29:00	04:41:32:00	OPPORTUNITY TO SEE HOW OUR
04:41:32:00	04:41:32:00	DOLLARS ARE BEING SPENT.
04:41:32:00	04:41:36:00	AND I THINK THAT WE HAVE EVERY
04:41:36:00	04:41:39:00	RIGHT TO ASK QUESTIONS AND YOU
04:41:39:00	04:41:42:00	ARE NOT BY YOURSELF AND IT'S SO
04:41:42:00	04:41:43:00	WEIRD THAT THESE TWO HAVE
04:41:43:00	04:41:46:00	BECOME MY MY LITTLE COALITION
04:41:46:00	04:41:47:00	MEMBERS HERE FIGHTING ON BEHALF
04:41:47:00	04:41:51:00	OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANT WHEN
04:41:51:00	04:41:51:00	IT COMES TO VOICE.
04:41:51:00	04:41:52:00	BUT I DO APPRECIATE YOUR I
04:41:52:00	04:41:55:00	REALLY DO AND I LOOK FORWARD TO
04:41:55:00	04:41:55:00	HAVING A CONVERSATION.
04:41:55:00	04:41:59:00	THANK YOU.

04:42:39:00	04:42:42:00	ASKED THAT BACK IN NOVEMBER,
04:42:42:00	04:42:43:00	THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER IF WE

04:42:45:00	04:42:46:00	BECAUSE IT IS A NEW CITY
04:42:46:00	04:42:50:00	DEPARTMENT SO PUT IT TOGETHER
04:42:50:00	04:42:50:00	KNOWING HE WOULD COME AS ONE
04:42:50:00	04:42:51:00	OF THE PANELISTS TO ANSWER
04:42:51:00	04:42:53:00	QUESTIONS SO IT WOULD BE THE

04:43:02:00	04:43:03:00	TO BE IF THE CHAIR CAN GET BOTH

04:45:23:00	04:45:24:00	IT SHOULDN'T GO WHERE THEY ARE.
04:45:24:00	04:45:26:00	IT SHOULD GO INTO THE THE
04:45:26:00	04:45:26:00	GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS
04:45:26:00	04:45:27:00	COMMITTEE.

04:45:41:00	04:45:44:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY ON THE FLOOR.
04:45:44:00	04:45:44:00	YES.
04:45:44:00	04:45:49:00	SO I HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO
04:45:49:00	04:45:52:00	SAY BUT THIS HEARING IS NOT
04:45:52:00	04:45:56:00	WHAT WE WENT THROUGH LAST YEAR
04:45:56:00	04:45:56:00	WHEN WE WERE DECIDING WHETHER
04:45:56:00	04:46:00:00	OR NOT WE WANTED TO VOTE TO
04:46:00:00	04:46:00:00	APPROVE THE CHANGE IN
04:46:00:00	04:46:03:00	STRUCTURE, THE HEARING IS TO
04:46:03:00	04:46:04:00	ALLOW US TO CHECK IN ON YOUR
04:46:04:00	04:46:05:00	CITY DEPARTMENT.
04:46:05:00	04:46:07:00	HOW WERE THINGS GOING NOW
04:46:07:00	04:46:08:00	EVALUATE THE DEPARTMENT'S
04:46:08:00	04:46:11:00	PROGRESS AND JUST HOW THE
04:46:11:00	04:46:12:00	CURRENT OPERATIONS AND ANY
04:46:12:00	04:46:15:00	CHALLENGES NOT BACK TO THE
04:46:15:00	04:46:16:00	BEGINNING ABOUT WHAT YOU KNOW,
04:46:16:00	04:46:19:00	EMPLOYMENT STATUS YOU HAVE,
04:46:19:00	04:46:20:00	WHAT YOUR INSURANCE IS, WHO
04:46:20:00	04:46:23:00	YOUR BOSS IS, DO YOU WORK FOR
04:46:23:00	04:46:24:00	THE CITY OR THE AGENCY ANYMORE
04:46:24:00	04:46:27:00	SO THAT WAS NOT THE INTENT
04:46:27:00	04:46:27:00	OF THE HEARING JUST LIKE
04:46:27:00	04:46:30:00	PREVIOUSLY IT WASN'T THE INTENT
04:46:30:00	04:46:31:00	OF COUNCILMAN HE IS HEARING AND
04:46:31:00	04:46:34:00	IF YOU READ ALL OF THE
04:46:34:00	04:46:37:00	COMMITTEES I MEAN MY COMMITTEE
04:46:37:00	04:46:38:00	ALONE YOU COULD SAY ANY OF THEM
04:46:38:00	04:46:41:00	COULD GO INTO CITY SERVICES IF
04:46:41:00	04:46:42:00	WE'RE TALKING ABOUT COMMUNITY
04:46:42:00	04:46:45:00	CENTERS IT COULD GO INTO PUBLIC
04:46:45:00	04:46:46:00	SAFETY IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
04:46:46:00	04:46:49:00	DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND RAPE, YOU
04:46:49:00	04:46:50:00	COULD GO INTO PUBLIC HEALTH
04:46:50:00	04:46:53:00	WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HUNGER
04:46:53:00	04:46:54:00	AND ALL OF THE OTHER HEALTH
04:46:54:00	04:46:54:00	ISSUES THAT COMMUNITIES FACE.
04:46:54:00	04:46:57:00	SO THEN IT MATTERS.
04:46:57:00	04:46:58:00	I JUST WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW
04:46:58:00	04:47:01:00	TOO THAT IT MATTERS BECAUSE
04:47:01:00	04:47:02:00	MANY TIMES IF IT GOES INTO A
04:47:02:00	04:47:05:00	CERTAIN COMMITTEE YOU WOULD
04:47:05:00	04:47:05:00	HOPE THAT IT REALLY DIDN'T
04:47:05:00	04:47:06:00	MATTER BECAUSE WE'RE ALL JUST
04:47:06:00	04:47:08:00	GOING TO WORK TOGETHER AND THE
04:47:08:00	04:47:09:00	ADMINISTRATION IS GOING TO SEND
04:47:09:00	04:47:12:00	WHAT THEY WANT BUT IT CHANGES
04:47:12:00	04:47:13:00	THE INTENT OF THE HEARING AND
04:47:13:00	04:47:16:00	THEN OFTENTIMES IT JUST DIES ON
04:47:16:00	04:47:17:00	THE COMMITTEE AND IT NOT NOT TO
04:47:17:00	04:47:20:00	SAY THE CHAIR IS TRYING TO DO
04:47:20:00	04:47:21:00	IT ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN I
04:47:21:00	04:47:24:00	FILED THE HEARING ORDER LAST
04:47:24:00	04:47:25:00	WEEK OR TWO WEEKS AGO ON WHITE
04:47:25:00	04:47:28:00	STADIUM, IT GOT PUT INTO
04:47:28:00	04:47:28:00	EDUCATION.
04:47:28:00	04:47:31:00	WE WE'RE NOT BLAMING BEEPS
04:47:31:00	04:47:32:00	DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO US
04:47:32:00	04:47:35:00	ANYMORE ABOUT THE LEASE THE
04:47:35:00	04:47:35:00	CONVERSATION WAS GOING TO BE
04:47:35:00	04:47:36:00	AROUND THE COMMUNITY CONCERNS
04:47:36:00	04:47:39:00	AND EVERYTHING THAT HAD NOTHING
04:47:39:00	04:47:39:00	TO DO.
04:47:39:00	04:47:40:00	I THINK WE ALL AGREE THAT THE
04:47:40:00	04:47:42:00	GPS DESERVES WAY BETTER WHEN IT
04:47:42:00	04:47:43:00	COMES TO ATHLETICS SO I WOULD
04:47:43:00	04:47:47:00	LIKE TO VOTE TO SEE IF OUR
04:47:47:00	04:47:48:00	COLLEAGUES OR ANY OTHER
04:47:48:00	04:47:50:00	COLLEAGUES HAVE A QUESTION.
04:47:50:00	04:47:51:00	OKAY, THANK YOU.
04:47:51:00	04:47:51:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
04:47:51:00	04:47:55:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN AND THEN I'LL
04:47:55:00	04:47:55:00	CONSIDER AND MAY I MAKE A
04:47:55:00	04:47:58:00	MOTION THAT I THINK I MENTIONED
04:47:58:00	04:47:59:00	?
04:47:59:00	04:48:00:00	I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT
04:48:00:00	04:48:01:00	IT GOES IN THE POST AUDIT A
04:48:01:00	04:48:06:00	MOTION SECONDED OC THE CHAIR

04:48:07:00	04:48:09:00	THANK YOU SO THAT MOTION IS
04:48:09:00	04:48:09:00	BEFORE THE COUNCIL.
04:48:09:00	04:48:13:00	WHEN I INITIALLY SAW THAT THE
04:48:13:00	04:48:13:00	HERE OR THE HEARING ORDER I
04:48:13:00	04:48:16:00	THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD GO INTO
04:48:16:00	04:48:17:00	PLANNING DEPARTMENT
04:48:17:00	04:48:20:00	OF TRANSPORTATION BUT I OFTEN
04:48:20:00	04:48:21:00	HAVE GONE ON THE FLOOR TO SAY
04:48:21:00	04:48:23:00	THAT I RESPECT OUR
04:48:23:00	04:48:24:00	COUNCIL PRESIDENT'S DECISION
04:48:24:00	04:48:27:00	MAKING PROCESS AND GIVEN THAT
04:48:27:00	04:48:28:00	THIS FEELS LIKE A CONTINUATION
04:48:28:00	04:48:28:00	OF THE CONVERSATION THAT
04:48:28:00	04:48:31:00	HAPPENED IN GOVERNMENT
04:48:31:00	04:48:31:00	OPERATIONS, I AM HAPPY TO
04:48:31:00	04:48:35:00	SUPPORT THE DECISION OF THE
04:48:35:00	04:48:35:00	CHAIR TO HAVE THAT GO INTO
04:48:35:00	04:48:38:00	GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS AND I
04:48:38:00	04:48:39:00	THINK THERE IS A DEBATE I THINK
04:48:39:00	04:48:42:00	THERE YOU KNOW, AS WE CALL INTO
04:48:42:00	04:48:46:00	QUESTION WHAT COMMITTEE IT
04:48:46:00	04:48:47:00	SHOULD GO INTO, THERE'S ONE
04:48:47:00	04:48:49:00	QUESTION OF DID IT GO DO YOU
04:48:49:00	04:48:50:00	RESPECT THE DECISION OF THE
04:48:50:00	04:48:50:00	CHAIR?
04:48:50:00	04:48:53:00	BUT THERE'S ANOTHER QUESTION
04:48:53:00	04:48:54:00	OF WHERE IT WOULD GO AND I, I
04:48:54:00	04:48:57:00	JUST PERSONALLY FEEL LIKE SHE
04:48:57:00	04:48:58:00	MADE THE RIGHT DECISION.
04:48:58:00	04:49:00:00	SO THANK YOU.

04:49:01:00	04:49:02:00	AND I ALSO JUST WANT TO BE VERY
04:49:02:00	04:49:02:00	CLEAR THAT THESE DECISIONS
04:49:02:00	04:49:04:00	DON'T COME IN A VACUUM.
04:49:04:00	04:49:05:00	IT ACTUALLY CAME DOWN FROM THE
04:49:05:00	04:49:07:00	CLERK'S OFFICE AND GOVERNMENT
04:49:07:00	04:49:07:00	OPERATIONS AND I HAD FIRST
04:49:07:00	04:49:08:00	INKLING I WAS LIKE OH, DOES
04:49:08:00	04:49:09:00	THIS BELONG IN GOVERNMENT
04:49:09:00	04:49:10:00	OPERATIONS?
04:49:10:00	04:49:11:00	AND I READ THE LANGUAGE OF THE
04:49:11:00	04:49:11:00	GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS
04:49:11:00	04:49:12:00	COMMITTEE.
04:49:12:00	04:49:15:00	WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT.
04:49:15:00	04:49:15:00	I BELIEVE THAT'S WHERE IT
04:49:15:00	04:49:15:00	BELONGS.
04:49:15:00	04:49:18:00	THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR
04:49:18:00	04:49:18:00	UNDER RULE FOUR TO APPEAL THE
04:49:18:00	04:49:21:00	DECISION OF THE CHAIR.
04:49:21:00	04:49:22:00	WE WENT THROUGH IT LAST TIME.
04:49:22:00	04:49:23:00	WE CAN VOTE WE CAN TAKE A VOTE
04:49:23:00	04:49:26:00	NOW.
04:49:26:00	04:49:26:00	A YES VOTE KEEPS IN A
04:49:26:00	04:49:27:00	GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS.
04:49:27:00	04:49:29:00	A NO VOTE PUTS IT IN ANOTHER
04:49:29:00	04:49:34:00	COMMITTEE AND IN POST.
04:49:34:00	04:49:34:00	OKAY.

05:10:54:00	05:10:58:00	SOUTH END AS A LARGE CHINESE
05:10:58:00	05:10:58:00	COMMUNITY AS WELL.
05:10:58:00	05:11:01:00	I LOVE TO HEAR THE STORIES FROM
05:11:01:00	05:11:02:00	THE ELDERLY PEOPLE FROM
05:11:02:00	05:11:05:00	CHINATOWN TALKING ABOUT THEIR
05:11:05:00	05:11:06:00	HISTORY THERE, ABOUT THEIR
05:11:06:00	05:11:09:00	PARENTS AND THEIR GRANDPARENTS
05:11:09:00	05:11:09:00	.
05:11:09:00	05:11:12:00	AND I OFTEN HEAR OF THE STORY
05:11:12:00	05:11:17:00	OF THE TRANSCONTINENTAL
05:11:17:00	05:11:18:00	RAILROAD THAT WAS BUILT BY THE
05:11:18:00	05:11:21:00	CHINESE BASICALLY CONNECTING
05:11:21:00	05:11:22:00	THE EAST COAST IN THE WEST
05:11:22:00	05:11:25:00	COAST AND THEY HAD THAT FAMOUS
05:11:25:00	05:11:28:00	PHOTO WHEN THEY COMPLETED IT
05:11:28:00	05:11:29:00	RIGHT OUTSIDE OF SALT LAKE CITY
05:11:29:00	05:11:32:00	BASICALLY A RIBBON CUTTING BUT
05:11:32:00	05:11:36:00	THAT THAT RAILROAD WAS BUILT
05:11:36:00	05:11:37:00	MOSTLY BY THE CHINESE.
05:11:37:00	05:11:40:00	AND I BRING THAT UP BECAUSE AT
05:11:40:00	05:11:41:00	THAT RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY
05:11:41:00	05:11:43:00	WAS A FAMOUS PHOTO.
05:11:43:00	05:11:44:00	THERE WASN'T ONE ASIAN PERSON
05:11:44:00	05:11:48:00	IN THAT PHOTO WHO WENT TO THE
05:11:48:00	05:11:51:00	UNITED STATES STILL AFTER THE
05:11:51:00	05:11:51:00	TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD WAS
05:11:51:00	05:11:51:00	BUILT.
05:11:51:00	05:11:55:00	WELL, WE ENACTED THE CHINESE
05:11:55:00	05:11:59:00	EXCLUSION ACT TO TRY TO LIMIT
05:11:59:00	05:11:59:00	THE NUMBER OF CHINESE HERE IN
05:11:59:00	05:12:05:00	BOSTON FOR US TIME I BELIEVE
05:12:05:00	05:12:06:00	THAT AN ETHNIC GROUP WAS
05:12:06:00	05:12:09:00	EXCLUSIVELY SINGLED OUT BECAUSE
05:12:09:00	05:12:13:00	OF THEIR RACE THAT THEY WOULD
05:12:13:00	05:12:14:00	NOT BE ABLE TO COME INTO THE
05:12:14:00	05:12:17:00	UNITED STATES LEGALLY.
05:12:17:00	05:12:21:00	WE ALSO REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED
05:12:21:00	05:12:25:00	WHEN THEY WHEN THE JAPANESE
05:12:25:00	05:12:26:00	WERE IN THE U.S. DURING WORLD
05:12:26:00	05:12:26:00	WAR II.
05:12:26:00	05:12:29:00	SO WE BASICALLY ARRESTED AND
05:12:29:00	05:12:30:00	PUT IN CAMPS MOSTLY ON THE WEST
05:12:30:00	05:12:33:00	COAST MANY JAPANESE AMERICANS
05:12:33:00	05:12:37:00	FOR BEING JAPANESE THERE AS
05:12:37:00	05:12:40:00	AMERICANS AS AS WE ARE.
05:12:40:00	05:12:41:00	AND BECAUSE OF THE COLOR
05:12:41:00	05:12:42:00	OF THEIR SKIN THEY WERE PLACED
05:12:42:00	05:12:45:00	IN IN CAMPS PRISONS REALLY OUR
05:12:45:00	05:12:50:00	JAILS I SHOULD SAY.
05:12:50:00	05:12:51:00	BUT A LOT OF THE JAPANESE
05:12:51:00	05:12:54:00	WANTED TO SERVE OUR COUNTRY.
05:12:54:00	05:12:55:00	THEY SERVED IN THE UNITED
05:12:55:00	05:12:55:00	STATES ARMY.
05:12:55:00	05:12:56:00	THEY SERVED IN THE UNITED
05:12:56:00	05:12:58:00	STATES NAVY AND THEY THEY
05:12:58:00	05:12:59:00	FOUGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY EVEN
05:12:59:00	05:13:02:00	THOUGH OUR COUNTRY WASN'T
05:13:02:00	05:13:03:00	RECOGNIZING THEM AND THEIR
05:13:03:00	05:13:06:00	ETHNIC BACKGROUND AND THEIR
05:13:06:00	05:13:06:00	CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE UNITED
05:13:06:00	05:13:09:00	STATES.
05:13:09:00	05:13:10:00	AS YOU PROBABLY CAN TELL, I'M
05:13:10:00	05:13:14:00	FASCINATED BY THE CONTRIBUTIONS
05:13:14:00	05:13:17:00	OF THE ASIAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY
05:13:17:00	05:13:17:00	.
05:13:17:00	05:13:18:00	BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE
05:13:18:00	05:13:21:00	THE RACISM OF THE THAT THE AAPI
05:13:21:00	05:13:24:00	COMMUNITY HAS EXPERIENCED FOR
05:13:24:00	05:13:25:00	MANY YEARS.
05:13:25:00	05:13:28:00	WE REMEMBER THE PANDEMIC WELL
05:13:28:00	05:13:32:00	AS ONLY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO,
05:13:32:00	05:13:33:00	BUT I ACTUALLY HELD THE FIRST
05:13:33:00	05:13:36:00	TOWN HALL MEETING IN THE UNITED
05:13:36:00	05:13:40:00	STATES BEFORE THE PANDEMIC WAS
05:13:40:00	05:13:41:00	DECLARED.
05:13:41:00	05:13:41:00	I HAD IT AT JOSIAH QUINCY
05:13:41:00	05:13:44:00	SCHOOL AND IT WAS AN INFORMAL
05:13:44:00	05:13:44:00	TOWN HALL MEETING.
05:13:44:00	05:13:45:00	MANY OF YOU REMEMBER MARTY
05:13:45:00	05:13:48:00	MARTINEZ WHO WAS THE SECRETARY
05:13:48:00	05:13:49:00	OF HEALTH HERE IN THE CITY
05:13:49:00	05:13:49:00	OF BOSTON.
05:13:49:00	05:13:52:00	HE HE CAME WITH ME AND WE WERE
05:13:52:00	05:13:55:00	EDUCATING PEOPLE RESIDENTS
05:13:55:00	05:13:59:00	ABOUT THE PANDEMIC AND WE WERE
05:13:59:00	05:13:59:00	LEARNING ABOUT IT AND THERE WAS
05:13:59:00	05:14:02:00	A YOUNG STUDENT THAT RAISED HER
05:14:02:00	05:14:02:00	HAND.
05:14:02:00	05:14:03:00	SHE WAS EITHER BOSTON LATIN OR
05:14:03:00	05:14:07:00	BOSTON LATIN ACADEMY STUDENT.
05:14:07:00	05:14:08:00	I FORGET WHICH ONE AND SHE WAS
05:14:08:00	05:14:10:00	TELLING TELLING ME DURING THE
05:14:10:00	05:14:14:00	Q&A PART THAT WHEN SHE AND SHE
05:14:14:00	05:14:15:00	WAS IN IT SHE WAS AN ASIAN
05:14:15:00	05:14:17:00	STUDENT WHEN SHE GOT ON THE
05:14:17:00	05:14:21:00	TRAIN GOING TO SCHOOL THAT THE
05:14:21:00	05:14:22:00	TRAIN WAS FILLED AND EVERYBODY
05:14:22:00	05:14:26:00	GOT UP WHEN SHE CAME IN AND
05:14:26:00	05:14:26:00	LEFT THE TRAIN BECAUSE THEY
05:14:26:00	05:14:29:00	ASSOCIATE HATED HER WITH THE
05:14:29:00	05:14:34:00	WITH THE PANDEMIC WITH THE WITH
05:14:34:00	05:14:34:00	THE INCOMING PANDEMIC, WITH
05:14:34:00	05:14:38:00	COVID 19 AND THAT REALLY HURT
05:14:38:00	05:14:41:00	THIS YOUNG STUDENT.
05:14:41:00	05:14:45:00	CLEARLY RACISM AND THAT THAT
05:14:45:00	05:14:47:00	STORY STUCK WITH ME FOR MANY
05:14:47:00	05:14:51:00	YEARS BECAUSE THE IMPACT IT HAD
05:14:51:00	05:14:55:00	ON THE ASIAN COMMUNITY IS STILL
05:14:55:00	05:14:55:00	CONTINUING HERE IN THE UNITED
05:14:55:00	05:14:58:00	STATES.
05:14:58:00	05:14:59:00	IN MY OPINION WHEN THE
05:14:59:00	05:15:02:00	PRESIDENT AT THE TIME THE
05:15:02:00	05:15:03:00	CURRENT PRESIDENT LABELED THIS
05:15:03:00	05:15:06:00	A CHINESE VIRUS OR OTHER OTHER
05:15:06:00	05:15:10:00	PHRASES WHAT DID WE SEE HAPPEN?
05:15:10:00	05:15:14:00	WELL, HATE CRIMES WENT UP.
05:15:14:00	05:15:14:00	RACISM WENT UP AGAINST THE
05:15:14:00	05:15:18:00	ASIAN COMMUNITY INCLUDING IN
05:15:18:00	05:15:22:00	GREAT PROGRESSIVE CITIES LIKE
05:15:22:00	05:15:22:00	BOSTON OR NEW YORK OR CHICAGO,
05:15:22:00	05:15:26:00	SAN FRANCISCO WITH LARGE WITH
05:15:26:00	05:15:29:00	LARGE ASIAN COMMUNITIES.
05:15:29:00	05:15:31:00	AND I I BRING THAT STORY UP
05:15:31:00	05:15:34:00	BECAUSE I THINK OF THE TIME I
05:15:34:00	05:15:37:00	SERVED I SERVED ON ACTIVE DUTY
05:15:37:00	05:15:40:00	WITH MANY ASIAN AMERICANS AND
05:15:40:00	05:15:41:00	THEY'RE WILLING TO PUT THEIR
05:15:41:00	05:15:42:00	LIFE ON THE LINE FOR OUR
05:15:42:00	05:15:45:00	COUNTRY AND AT THE SAME TIME
05:15:45:00	05:15:48:00	WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THEIR
05:15:48:00	05:15:49:00	PARENTS OR THEIR GRANDPARENTS.
05:15:49:00	05:15:52:00	THEY'RE BEING BEAT UP BECAUSE
05:15:52:00	05:15:53:00	THEY'RE ASIAN.
05:15:53:00	05:15:56:00	SO WE CELEBRATE WHAT THE ASIAN

05:17:45:00	05:17:46:00	PRESIDENT GONG CHOI TO EVERYONE
05:17:46:00	05:17:47:00	WHO CELEBRATES I KNOW THIS IS
05:17:47:00	05:17:48:00	THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE AND IT'S
05:17:48:00	05:17:51:00	INTERESTING AS WE THINK ABOUT
05:17:51:00	05:17:54:00	HOW WE MOVE FORWARD I THINK THE
05:17:54:00	05:17:57:00	CHINESE ZODIAC IS REALLY
05:17:57:00	05:17:58:00	INTERESTING BUT ONE OF THE
05:17:58:00	05:17:58:00	STORIES OF HOW THE CHINESE
05:17:58:00	05:18:01:00	ZODIAC CAME TO BE WAS THE GREAT
05:18:01:00	05:18:02:00	RACE HELD BY THE JADE EMPEROR.
05:18:02:00	05:18:05:00	HE DECLARED THAT THE FIRST 12
05:18:05:00	05:18:06:00	ANIMALS TO FINISH THE RACE
05:18:06:00	05:18:07:00	WOULD BE GIVEN A SPOT TO
05:18:07:00	05:18:09:00	REPRESENT THE 12 YEARS OF THE
05:18:09:00	05:18:12:00	ZODIAC.
05:18:12:00	05:18:12:00	ONE OF THE FIRST VERSIONS
05:18:12:00	05:18:13:00	OF THE STORY TELLS THAT THE
05:18:13:00	05:18:16:00	HORSE WAS IN THE LEAD BUT THE
05:18:16:00	05:18:19:00	SNAKE CURLED AROUND HIS LEG AND
05:18:19:00	05:18:19:00	RIGHT BEFORE THE FINISH LINE
05:18:19:00	05:18:23:00	THE SNAKE UNFURLED AND
05:18:23:00	05:18:23:00	FINISHED.
05:18:23:00	05:18:24:00	SO KIND OF SHOWS YOU A LITTLE
05:18:24:00	05:18:26:00	BIT ABOUT THE SNAKE BUT THE
05:18:26:00	05:18:27:00	YEAR OF THE SNAKE IS A TIME FOR
05:18:27:00	05:18:30:00	DEEP TRANSFORMATION WISDOM AND
05:18:30:00	05:18:31:00	SHEDDING OLD LAYERS TO REVEAL
05:18:31:00	05:18:34:00	YOUR TRUE SELF IN THE CHINESE
05:18:34:00	05:18:35:00	ASTROLOGY THE SNAKE SYMBOLIZES
05:18:35:00	05:18:38:00	INTELLECT, INTUITION AND
05:18:38:00	05:18:38:00	RENEWAL, REMINDING US THAT THE
05:18:38:00	05:18:42:00	GROWTH COMES AS WE EMBRACE
05:18:42:00	05:18:42:00	CHANGE AND TRUST OUR INSTINCTS.
05:18:42:00	05:18:43:00	THIS YEAR INVITES US TO MOVE
05:18:43:00	05:18:46:00	WITH INTENTION, LISTEN TO OUR
05:18:46:00	05:18:46:00	INNER VOICE AND RELEASE
05:18:46:00	05:18:49:00	ANYTHING THAT NO LONGER SERVES
05:18:49:00	05:18:50:00	US JUST AS THE SNAKE NATURALLY
05:18:50:00	05:18:53:00	SHEDS ITS SKIN.
05:18:53:00	05:18:54:00	IT'S A TIME FOR STRATEGIC
05:18:54:00	05:18:54:00	ACTION, DEEP REFLECTION AND
05:18:54:00	05:18:57:00	STEPPING INTO YOUR OWN PERSONAL
05:18:57:00	05:18:57:00	POWER.
05:18:57:00	05:19:00:00	SO IF THAT ISN'T ANYTHING THAT
05:19:00:00	05:19:01:00	WE YOU KNOW IF THAT ISN'T WHAT
05:19:01:00	05:19:02:00	WE NEED THIS YEAR, I DON'T KNOW

05:24:54:00	05:24:57:00	REALLY TO LISTEN TO HIS
05:24:57:00	05:24:57:00	NEIGHBORS, HIS CONSTITUENTS,
05:24:57:00	05:25:01:00	HIS COLLEAGUES.
05:25:01:00	05:25:04:00	BUT ONE COLLEAGUE REALLY STRUCK
05:25:04:00	05:25:05:00	, STRUCK AND STUCK IN MY MIND.
05:25:05:00	05:25:08:00	THIS IS A WOMAN FROM FROM
05:25:08:00	05:25:12:00	MATTAPAN OR HYDE PARK I BELIEVE
05:25:12:00	05:25:14:00	AND SHE HAD TWO SONS
05:25:14:00	05:25:18:00	AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMAN AND THE
05:25:18:00	05:25:19:00	SONS GROWING UP THAT HE WAS
05:25:19:00	05:25:22:00	REALLY THEIR ROLE MODEL IS AN
05:25:22:00	05:25:26:00	AFRICAN-AMERICAN POLICE OFFICER
05:25:26:00	05:25:26:00	TALKING TO YOUNG PEOPLE YOUNG
05:25:26:00	05:25:30:00	MEN MOSTLY MOSTLY
05:25:30:00	05:25:30:00	AFRICAN-AMERICAN ABOUT SPORTS,
05:25:30:00	05:25:37:00	ABOUT SCHOOL, ABOUT DISCIPLINE
05:25:37:00	05:25:37:00	.
05:25:37:00	05:25:38:00	AND HE WAS A ROLE MODEL TO SO
05:25:38:00	05:25:41:00	MANY OTHERS NOT JUST BECAUSE HE
05:25:41:00	05:25:41:00	WAS ON THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
05:25:41:00	05:25:44:00	BUT THE WAY HE CONDUCTED
05:25:44:00	05:25:45:00	HIMSELF WITH INTEGRITY, WITH
05:25:45:00	05:25:48:00	HONESTY, WITH DECENCY.
05:25:48:00	05:25:50:00	THIS IS A PERSON I'VE KNOWN FOR
05:25:50:00	05:25:54:00	40 YEARS I AM CALLING FOR THE
05:25:54:00	05:25:54:00	BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT TO
05:25:54:00	05:25:55:00	REINSTATE DEPUTY

05:26:02:00	05:26:05:00	ME IN SUPPORTING HIM.
05:26:05:00	05:26:06:00	I KNOW IT'LL BE A DIFFICULT
05:26:06:00	05:26:10:00	VOTE BUT I'M ASKING YOU NOT TO
05:26:10:00	05:26:13:00	OBJECT TO A VOTE AND TO PUT IT
05:26:13:00	05:26:14:00	INTO COMMITTEE AND TO VOTE ON
05:26:14:00	05:26:17:00	IT AND LET DEPUTY
05:26:17:00	05:26:17:00	SUPERINTENDENT CHRISMAN KNOW
05:26:17:00	05:26:21:00	THAT HE HAS SOME FRIENDS IN
05:26:21:00	05:26:22:00	THIS BUILDING THAT CAN MAKE A.
05:26:22:00	05:26:25:00	THANK YOU.
05:26:25:00	05:26:26:00	THE CHAIRMAN IS RETURNING
05:26:26:00	05:26:28:00	BECAUSE I CAN GIVE THE FLOOR I
05:26:28:00	05:26:29:00	AM HAPPY TO NOT OBJECT TO THIS
05:26:29:00	05:26:30:00	AND I THINK WE SHOULD PROCEED
05:26:30:00	05:26:33:00	TO A VOTE BUT I'LL BE VOTING NO
05:26:33:00	05:26:36:00	BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT IS THE
05:26:36:00	05:26:37:00	ROLE OF CITY COUNCIL TO WEIGH
05:26:37:00	05:26:37:00	IN GIVEN THAT THE POLICE
05:26:37:00	05:26:40:00	DEPARTMENT ARE IT'S A
05:26:40:00	05:26:41:00	HIERARCHAL ROLE AND I DO THINK
05:26:41:00	05:26:44:00	IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE LET THE
05:26:44:00	05:26:45:00	BOTH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND
05:26:45:00	05:26:48:00	OUR OTHER DEPARTMENTS MAKE
05:26:48:00	05:26:48:00	DECISIONS ABOUT HIRING AND
05:26:48:00	05:26:48:00	FIRING.
05:26:48:00	05:26:52:00	SO I'M GOING TO BE VOTING NO
05:26:52:00	05:26:53:00	BUT I AM NOT OBJECTING TO A
05:26:53:00	05:26:53:00	VOTE.
05:26:53:00	05:26:56:00	THANK YOU.
05:26:56:00	05:26:57:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES COMES FROM
05:26:57:00	05:26:57:00	JOE COMES TO JODY ON THE FLOOR.
05:26:57:00	05:26:59:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
05:26:59:00	05:27:00:00	I HAD A LENGTHY CALL WITH
05:27:00:00	05:27:03:00	SERGEANT DETECTIVE CRISP AND
05:27:03:00	05:27:03:00	YESTERDAY A GREAT CALL.
05:27:03:00	05:27:07:00	LET'S BE CLEAR THIS RESOLUTION
05:27:07:00	05:27:07:00	IS NOT ABOUT SERGEANT DETECTIVE
05:27:07:00	05:27:08:00	CRISPIN'S CHARACTER.
05:27:08:00	05:27:11:00	HE IS A MODEL CITIZEN, AN
05:27:11:00	05:27:11:00	OFFICER, A COMMUNITY LEADER, A
05:27:11:00	05:27:14:00	ROLE MODEL IN THIS ASIAN
05:27:14:00	05:27:14:00	COMMUNITY.
05:27:14:00	05:27:15:00	AND WHILE I DEEPLY RESPECT THE
05:27:15:00	05:27:17:00	INDIVIDUAL AND BELIEVE THE
05:27:17:00	05:27:18:00	COMMAND STAFF IS IMPROVED WITH
05:27:18:00	05:27:22:00	HIM ON IT, I HAVE TO LOOK AT
05:27:22:00	05:27:23:00	THIS MATTER JUDICIOUSLY AND BY
05:27:23:00	05:27:25:00	THE LETTER OF THE LAW THE FACT
05:27:25:00	05:27:26:00	OF THE MATTER IS THE POLICE
05:27:26:00	05:27:26:00	COMMISSIONER HAS WITHIN HIS
05:27:26:00	05:27:27:00	AUTHORITY THE RIGHT TO PROMOTE
05:27:27:00	05:27:30:00	OR DEMOTE HIS COMMAND STAFF.
05:27:30:00	05:27:30:00	SO WHILE I DO NOT THINK THERE'S
05:27:30:00	05:27:33:00	ACTUALLY A CONFLICT OF INTEREST
05:27:33:00	05:27:34:00	AS VERIFIED BY THE AG'S OFFICE
05:27:34:00	05:27:37:00	AND STATE ETHICS, I ALSO HAVE
05:27:37:00	05:27:38:00	TO RESPECT THE AUTHORITY GIVEN
05:27:38:00	05:27:38:00	TO THE COMMISSIONER AND RESPECT
05:27:38:00	05:27:41:00	THE CHAIN OF COMMAND NO LAWS,
05:27:41:00	05:27:41:00	NO ORDINANCES, NO PROTECTIONS
05:27:41:00	05:27:44:00	ARE BROKEN IN THE
05:27:44:00	05:27:45:00	COMMISSIONER'S DECISION AND
05:27:45:00	05:27:48:00	WHILE WE MIGHT DISAGREE WITH IT
05:27:48:00	05:27:48:00	WE SHOULD BE CAREFUL OF THE
05:27:48:00	05:27:49:00	PRECEDENT WE SET OF GOING INTO
05:27:49:00	05:27:52:00	SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE AND
05:27:52:00	05:27:53:00	TELLING THEM HOW TO ARRANGE
05:27:53:00	05:27:55:00	THEIR FURNITURE AND SO I'LL BE
05:27:55:00	05:27:56:00	STANDING ON THOSE VALUES TODAY
05:27:56:00	05:27:57:00	AS WE VOTE AND RESPECTIVELY BE
05:27:57:00	05:27:59:00	VOTING NO ON THIS RESOLUTION.
05:27:59:00	05:27:59:00	THANK YOU.
05:27:59:00	05:28:00:00	THANK YOU.
05:28:00:00	05:28:00:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
05:28:00:00	05:28:01:00	COUNCILMAN MURPHY COMES IN
05:28:01:00	05:28:02:00	MURPHY ON THE FLOOR.
05:28:02:00	05:28:03:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
05:28:03:00	05:28:06:00	THANK YOU, COUNCILOR FLYNN FOR
05:28:06:00	05:28:07:00	BRINGING THIS FORWARD.
05:28:07:00	05:28:11:00	I ALSO AGREE AND I SAID AT THE
05:28:11:00	05:28:11:00	HEARING THAT I DO BELIEVE THAT
05:28:11:00	05:28:14:00	COMMISSIONER COX HAS THE RIGHT
05:28:14:00	05:28:14:00	TO CHOOSE WHO SITS ON HIS
05:28:14:00	05:28:18:00	COMMAND STAFF AND HE CAN ASK
05:28:18:00	05:28:19:00	THEM TO LEAVE AT ANY TIME.
05:28:19:00	05:28:21:00	HE CAN ADD NEW PEOPLE WHEN HE
05:28:21:00	05:28:21:00	WANTS.
05:28:21:00	05:28:25:00	BUT WHAT BOTHERS ME IS THAT IT
05:28:25:00	05:28:25:00	SEEMS AS THOUGH THEY'RE HIDING
05:28:25:00	05:28:28:00	BEHIND THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST
05:28:28:00	05:28:29:00	AS THE REASON NOT HIM AS A
05:28:29:00	05:28:32:00	OUTSTANDING OFFICER WHO WAS
05:28:32:00	05:28:33:00	DOING A GOOD JOB ON THE COMMAND
05:28:33:00	05:28:36:00	STAFF AND WE OFTEN ALWAYS I
05:28:36:00	05:28:40:00	WOULD SAY FILE RESOLUTIONS TOO.
05:28:40:00	05:28:41:00	IT DOESN'T FORCE THE
05:28:41:00	05:28:44:00	COMMISSIONER TO DO ANYTHING
05:28:44:00	05:28:44:00	THAT'S NOT GOING TO FORCE THE
05:28:44:00	05:28:47:00	MAYOR TO DO ANYTHING BUT IT
05:28:47:00	05:28:48:00	WOULD SEND A MESSAGE THAT WE
05:28:48:00	05:28:51:00	SUPPORT CRISPIN AND ALL THE
05:28:51:00	05:28:52:00	GOOD WORK HE'S DONE.
05:28:52:00	05:28:55:00	I'VE BEEN SAYING SINCE I MET
05:28:55:00	05:28:55:00	HIM SEVERAL YEARS AGO WHAT AN
05:28:55:00	05:28:59:00	OUTSTANDING NEIGHBOR, A CITIZEN
05:28:59:00	05:28:59:00	AND POLICE OFFICER HE IS.
05:28:59:00	05:29:02:00	SO I'LL BE SUPPORTING THIS ON
05:29:02:00	05:29:03:00	THE OPPOSITE REASONS WHY MY
05:29:03:00	05:29:03:00	COLLEAGUE SAID HE WOULDN'T.
05:29:03:00	05:29:06:00	JUST TO BE CLEAR THAT I DO
05:29:06:00	05:29:07:00	AGREE THAT THE COMMISSIONER HAS
05:29:07:00	05:29:07:00	THE RIGHT TO PICK AND CHOOSE
05:29:07:00	05:29:11:00	BUT IF YOU'RE ASKING HIM TO
05:29:11:00	05:29:11:00	LEAVE FOR A DIFFERENT REASON
05:29:11:00	05:29:12:00	THEN THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN WHAT
05:29:12:00	05:29:14:00	WAS SAID BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE
05:29:14:00	05:29:15:00	TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IS IF IT
05:29:15:00	05:29:18:00	IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND
05:29:18:00	05:29:19:00	THAT COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH
05:29:19:00	05:29:22:00	OTHER PEOPLE BEING APPOINTED TO
05:29:22:00	05:29:22:00	THIS IMPORTANT BOARD MAKING
05:29:22:00	05:29:23:00	SURE THAT THERE'S TRANSPARENCY
05:29:23:00	05:29:25:00	AND THAT THE POLICE
05:29:25:00	05:29:29:00	ACCOUNTABILITY IS REPRESENTED
05:29:29:00	05:29:30:00	BY PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW IN THIS
05:29:30:00	05:29:33:00	CASE THE AG APPOINTED AND IT'S
05:29:33:00	05:29:33:00	OFTEN REMINDED OF US THAT
05:29:33:00	05:29:37:00	MAMMALIA HAS A PERMANENT SEAT
05:29:37:00	05:29:38:00	ON THIS BOARD AND HE IS A
05:29:38:00	05:29:41:00	MEMBER OF MAMMALIA AND REPLACED
05:29:41:00	05:29:41:00	THE RETIRING MEMBER LEAVING.
05:29:41:00	05:29:42:00	SO TO ME I'LL BE VOTING IN
05:29:42:00	05:29:45:00	SUPPORT AND WANT TO MAKE SURE
05:29:45:00	05:29:46:00	THAT OFFICER CRISPIN KNOWS
05:29:46:00	05:29:49:00	SERGEANT DETECTIVE KNOWS THAT I
05:29:49:00	05:29:53:00	AM LOOKING OUT FOR HIM.
05:29:53:00	05:29:53:00	THANK YOU.

05:31:55:00	05:31:58:00	APPRECIATE YOU STANDING UP IN
05:31:58:00	05:31:59:00	SUPPORT OF THIS RESOLUTION EVEN
05:31:59:00	05:32:02:00	THOUGH YOUR LAWYER AND YOU
05:32:02:00	05:32:03:00	KNOW, SOMETIMES WE SET A
05:32:03:00	05:32:04:00	PRESIDENTS AND WE MIGHT GET IN
05:32:04:00	05:32:05:00	TROUBLE FOR DOING THAT.
05:32:05:00	05:32:06:00	SO I JUST WANT TO SAY IF YOU
05:32:06:00	05:32:07:00	COULD DO IT THAT I CAN DO IT
05:32:07:00	05:32:10:00	TOO BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO LEAN
05:32:10:00	05:32:11:00	ON YOU AND I'M GLAD YOU DID IT.
05:32:11:00	05:32:11:00	AND IF HE COULD DO IT AND HE'S
05:32:11:00	05:32:13:00	A LAWYER, I'M GOING TO DO IT TO
05:32:13:00	05:32:14:00	OKAY SO THAT I'LL BLAME IT ON
05:32:14:00	05:32:17:00	YOU IF THEY COME FOR ME THEN
05:32:17:00	05:32:17:00	YOU COULD DEFEND ME.
05:32:17:00	05:32:20:00	OKAY BUT ANYWAYS WHY I'M
05:32:20:00	05:32:21:00	STANDING UP HERE IS BECAUSE I
05:32:21:00	05:32:21:00	WAS THE ONE WHO HELD THIS
05:32:21:00	05:32:24:00	HEARING ON FRIDAY AND 10
05:32:24:00	05:32:25:00	MINUTES BEFORE IT WAS TIME TO
05:32:25:00	05:32:28:00	HOST THE HEARING I WAS CALLED
05:32:28:00	05:32:29:00	AND TOLD THAT I COULDN'T
05:32:29:00	05:32:30:00	CONDUCT THE HEARING BECAUSE IT
05:32:30:00	05:32:32:00	WAS A MATTER OF PERSONNEL AND I
05:32:32:00	05:32:35:00	WANT TO GO BACK TO THE WAY WE
05:32:35:00	05:32:39:00	DO BUSINESS HERE THAT IT'S LIKE
05:32:39:00	05:32:40:00	THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO BE
05:32:40:00	05:32:40:00	STAYING READY NOW BECAUSE YOU
05:32:40:00	05:32:42:00	KNOW, ANYTHING COMES OUT YOU
05:32:42:00	05:32:43:00	AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR
05:32:43:00	05:32:46:00	US TO OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE
05:32:46:00	05:32:47:00	PROCESS TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT
05:32:47:00	05:32:51:00	MORE OF OF OF COURTESY FOR THE
05:32:51:00	05:32:51:00	WORK THAT THE BODY IS TRYING TO
05:32:51:00	05:32:54:00	DO BUT OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE
05:32:54:00	05:32:55:00	PROCESS, I MADE SURE THAT THE
05:32:55:00	05:32:56:00	FOLKS THAT CAME HERE DID NOT
05:32:56:00	05:32:58:00	SPEAK ON THE SPECIFIC
05:32:58:00	05:32:58:00	OF EDDIE'S CASE.
05:32:58:00	05:33:02:00	AND I JUST WANT TO THANK THOSE
05:33:02:00	05:33:02:00	ADVOCATES WHO CAME THROUGH.
05:33:02:00	05:33:03:00	WHAT I AM REALLY SCARED ABOUT
05:33:03:00	05:33:06:00	AND WORRIED ESPECIALLY WHEN IT
05:33:06:00	05:33:07:00	COMES TO ISSUES LIKE THIS IS
05:33:07:00	05:33:10:00	THAT THE THE FEAR
05:33:10:00	05:33:13:00	OF RETALIATION AND HOW PEOPLE
05:33:13:00	05:33:17:00	ARE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP IN AND
05:33:17:00	05:33:21:00	OUT OF THIS SPACE REALLY SPEAKS
05:33:21:00	05:33:22:00	VOLUMES TO WHY SO MANY POLICE
05:33:22:00	05:33:25:00	OFFICERS WHEN WE HOSTED
05:33:25:00	05:33:25:00	EMPLOYEES WHEN WE'VE HOSTED
05:33:25:00	05:33:29:00	HEARINGS AROUND THE HIRING
05:33:29:00	05:33:29:00	FIRING PROMOTIONAL AND
05:33:29:00	05:33:33:00	EMOTIONAL PRACTICES THAT FOLKS
05:33:33:00	05:33:34:00	ARE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP BECAUSE
05:33:34:00	05:33:36:00	THEY KNOW THE BACKLASH IS
05:33:36:00	05:33:37:00	COMING.
05:33:37:00	05:33:37:00	AND I THINK THAT THE TYPE
05:33:37:00	05:33:40:00	OF CULTURE WE ARE CREATING HERE
05:33:40:00	05:33:44:00	AND WE ALSO WHEN I SAY WE ALL
05:33:44:00	05:33:45:00	OF US RIGHT IS THAT PEOPLE WHEN
05:33:45:00	05:33:48:00	THEY WANT TO SPEAK UP OR WHEN
05:33:48:00	05:33:49:00	THEY WANT TO BE FULLY EXPRESSED
05:33:49:00	05:33:49:00	OR THEY WANT TO RAGE AGAINST
05:33:49:00	05:33:52:00	THE MACHINE, THERE'S ALWAYS YOU
05:33:52:00	05:33:55:00	HAVE TO PAY A PRICE FOR THAT
05:33:55:00	05:33:56:00	AND I THINK THAT SOMETIMES
05:33:56:00	05:33:59:00	PEOPLE UTILIZE THEIR TACTICS
05:33:59:00	05:33:59:00	AND THEIR PRIVILEGE AND THEIR,
05:33:59:00	05:34:03:00	YOU KNOW, APPOINTMENT STATUS OR
05:34:03:00	05:34:04:00	WHATEVER THE CASE IS TO PUNISH
05:34:04:00	05:34:04:00	PEOPLE.
05:34:04:00	05:34:07:00	AND I THINK THAT IT'S REALLY
05:34:07:00	05:34:07:00	INTERESTING TO WATCH ALL
05:34:07:00	05:34:10:00	OF THIS UNFOLD HERE IN AND
05:34:10:00	05:34:11:00	OUTSIDE OF THIS CHAMBER.
05:34:11:00	05:34:15:00	AND SO I'M RISING AND MODELING
05:34:15:00	05:34:18:00	MY LAWYER COLLEAGUES BEHAVIOR
05:34:18:00	05:34:19:00	AND SAYING WHILE WE MAY NOT YOU
05:34:19:00	05:34:23:00	KNOW, WE SHOULDN'T I AM GOING
05:34:23:00	05:34:26:00	TO RISE IN SUPPORT OF MY
05:34:26:00	05:34:26:00	COLLEAGUE HERE AND HIS ADVOCACY
05:34:26:00	05:34:29:00	AND THE REASON WHY I HELD THAT
05:34:29:00	05:34:29:00	HEARING IN MY COMMITTEE WAS
05:34:29:00	05:34:32:00	BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T ALLOWED TO
05:34:32:00	05:34:33:00	I THINK YOU GOT PUT INTO SOME
05:34:33:00	05:34:34:00	OTHER COMMITTEE SO I'M GLAD WE
05:34:34:00	05:34:37:00	WERE SO ABLE TO GIVE THE PEOPLE
05:34:37:00	05:34:37:00	A VOICE.
05:34:37:00	05:34:38:00	SO THANK YOU AND I LOOK FORWARD
05:34:38:00	05:34:41:00	TO SUPPORTING THANK YOU.

05:34:56:00	05:34:57:00	LITTLE BIT MORE.
05:34:57:00	05:34:59:00	I THINK I AGREE WITH A LOT

05:35:11:00	05:35:11:00	I FEEL BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW

05:35:14:00	05:35:18:00	VOTE IN SUPPORT OR AGAINST US.
05:35:18:00	05:35:22:00	I'VE GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET
05:35:22:00	05:35:22:00	TO KNOW EDDIE CRISPIN.

05:38:48:00	05:38:49:00	WE INVESTED IN.
05:38:49:00	05:38:51:00	AND TO MY COLLEAGUE CARLOS
05:38:51:00	05:38:52:00	SANTANA REALLY SIMPLE.
05:38:52:00	05:38:56:00	YOU KNOW, IF THERE HASN'T BEEN
05:38:56:00	05:38:56:00	A CONFLICT OF INTEREST
05:38:56:00	05:38:59:00	DETERMINED HERE BUT THEN AN
05:38:59:00	05:39:02:00	INJUSTICE HAS TAKEN PLACE THEN
05:39:02:00	05:39:03:00	HE'S BEEN NOW DISPLACED OR
05:39:03:00	05:39:07:00	MOVED TO ANOTHER AREA OR HE HAS
05:39:07:00	05:39:10:00	WORKED ALL OF HIS LIFE AND I'M
05:39:10:00	05:39:11:00	NOT SURE HOW OLD IS THAT.
05:39:11:00	05:39:13:00	I THINK HE STILL LOOKS LIKE
05:39:13:00	05:39:14:00	HE'S 30 BUT HE'S MIGHT BE LIKE
05:39:14:00	05:39:14:00	50 I DON'T KNOW.
05:39:14:00	05:39:18:00	BUT I THINK HE'S AN ATTORNEY
05:39:18:00	05:39:21:00	AND YOU KNOW, SERGEANT
05:39:21:00	05:39:25:00	DETECTIVE THAT IS A LOT OF WORK
05:39:25:00	05:39:25:00	AND A LOT OF DETERMINATION AND
05:39:25:00	05:39:29:00	HE IS A VERY DARK AND BLACK
05:39:29:00	05:39:33:00	HAITIAN-AMERICAN WHO HAS HAD TO
05:39:33:00	05:39:34:00	REALLY, REALLY WORK HARD AND
05:39:34:00	05:39:36:00	HE'S EXTREMELY BRIGHT.
05:39:36:00	05:39:37:00	HE'S AN EXEMPLARY CITIZEN AND
05:39:37:00	05:39:41:00	HE'S SOMEONE THAT HAS ALWAYS
05:39:41:00	05:39:44:00	BEEN RESPECTFUL PROBABLY MET
05:39:44:00	05:39:47:00	HIM OVER 25 YEARS AGO IN
05:39:47:00	05:39:48:00	COMMUNITY AND HAS OBSERVED HIS
05:39:48:00	05:39:49:00	WORK, HAS OBSERVED HIS
05:39:49:00	05:39:52:00	INTERACTIONS.
05:39:52:00	05:39:53:00	PEOPLE NOT ONCE HAVE ANYONE HAS
05:39:53:00	05:39:56:00	EVER HAD ANYTHING NEGATIVE TO
05:39:56:00	05:39:59:00	SAY IN COMMUNITY POLICING AND
05:39:59:00	05:39:59:00	SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTS.
05:39:59:00	05:40:04:00	HE'S ALWAYS BEEN THAT SAME
05:40:04:00	05:40:04:00	EXEMPLARY CITIZEN AN OFFICER.
05:40:04:00	05:40:08:00	SO I ALTHOUGH I TAKE INTO
05:40:08:00	05:40:11:00	CONSIDERATION THAT THIS IS NOT
05:40:11:00	05:40:12:00	THE CASE BUT WE'VE DONE THAT
05:40:12:00	05:40:15:00	WE'VE DONE THAT WITH HOSPITALS
05:40:15:00	05:40:16:00	WHEN WE JUST WANT TO SEND A
05:40:16:00	05:40:17:00	MESSAGE AND WE HAVE NO
05:40:17:00	05:40:20:00	JURISDICTION OVER LAWS AND WE
05:40:20:00	05:40:20:00	CAN'T NECESSARILY MOVE THINGS
05:40:20:00	05:40:23:00	BUT WE WANT TO SEND A MESSAGE
05:40:23:00	05:40:24:00	AND THEN WE WRITE LETTERS AND I
05:40:24:00	05:40:25:00	THINK THE LETTERS WOULD HAVE
05:40:25:00	05:40:27:00	BEEN WOULD HAVE BEEN SUFFICE.
05:40:27:00	05:40:28:00	BUT HERE I THINK MY
05:40:28:00	05:40:31:00	COUNCIL COLLEAGUE FLYNN IS
05:40:31:00	05:40:31:00	TRYING TO SEND A STRONGER
05:40:31:00	05:40:32:00	MESSAGE IN ADDITION TO THIS
05:40:32:00	05:40:32:00	LETTER.
05:40:32:00	05:40:35:00	LET'S PUT IT ON RECORD BECAUSE
05:40:35:00	05:40:36:00	WE KNOW THAT THIS IS TELEVISED.
05:40:36:00	05:40:38:00	WE KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, MAYBE
05:40:38:00	05:40:39:00	THIS GETS MORE PRESS ATTENTION.
05:40:39:00	05:40:42:00	NOT SURE THE FULL ANGLES AND I
05:40:42:00	05:40:42:00	WON'T SPEAK FOR MY COLLEAGUE
05:40:42:00	05:40:46:00	BUT I THINK IT'S A MATTER OF DO
05:40:46:00	05:40:50:00	YOU SUPPORT THIS AND YEAH, IT'S
05:40:50:00	05:40:50:00	NOT A LAW THAT YOU'RE PASSING.

05:40:54:00	05:40:56:00	IS THAT FAIR?
05:40:56:00	05:40:57:00	SO I THINK THAT'S IT'S PRETTY
05:40:57:00	05:40:57:00	SIMPLE.
05:40:57:00	05:41:01:00	WE'RE NOT CREATING A LAW.
05:41:01:00	05:41:01:00	IT'S A RESOLUTION.

05:43:59:00	05:44:00:00	COUNCILOR FERNANDEZ SANDERS AND
05:44:00:00	05:44:01:00	I ALSO SIGNED THE LETTER IN
05:44:01:00	05:44:03:00	SUPPORT OF DEPUTY
05:44:03:00	05:44:04:00	SUPERINTENDENT CHRISTMAN AND
05:44:04:00	05:44:07:00	ATTENDED THE MEETING AT THE

05:44:08:00	05:44:11:00	AND ADMIN LEO AS WELL WITH MANY
05:44:11:00	05:44:14:00	OF MY COLLEAGUES BUT BASICALLY
05:44:14:00	05:44:18:00	WHAT THAT LETTER SAID WAS WE
05:44:18:00	05:44:18:00	SUPPORT DEPUTY
05:44:18:00	05:44:18:00	SUPERINTENDENT CHRISTMAN
05:44:18:00	05:44:22:00	BASICALLY THE SAME THING AS MY
05:44:22:00	05:44:22:00	RESOLUTION.
05:44:22:00	05:44:23:00	THERE'S NOTHING THERE'S NOTHING
05:44:23:00	05:44:26:00	REALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE
05:44:26:00	05:44:27:00	LETTER THAT SOME OF US SIGNED
05:44:27:00	05:44:30:00	AND IN IN IN THE LETTER THE
05:44:30:00	05:44:31:00	ONLY THING THAT MIGHT BE
05:44:31:00	05:44:34:00	DIFFERENT NOW IS THE TIME MAYBE
05:44:34:00	05:44:37:00	THAT MORE TIME HAS PASSED BUT
05:44:37:00	05:44:37:00	ALTHOUGH TIME HAS PASSED MAYBE
05:44:37:00	05:44:41:00	IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO
05:44:41:00	05:44:42:00	ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OVER THIS
05:44:42:00	05:44:45:00	PERIOD OF TIME IN LISTENING AND
05:44:45:00	05:44:49:00	LISTENING TO RESIDENTS, YOU
05:44:49:00	05:44:49:00	KNOW, THEY WERE ASKING I THINK
05:44:49:00	05:44:52:00	WHAT THEY'RE REALLY ASKING FOR
05:44:52:00	05:44:53:00	IS RESPECT FOR DEPUTY
05:44:53:00	05:44:56:00	SUPERINTENDENT CHRISTMAN.
05:44:56:00	05:44:57:00	IS IT LIKELY THAT HE'S GOING TO
05:44:57:00	05:44:58:00	GET HIS JOB BACK IN THE COMMAND
05:44:58:00	05:44:59:00	STAFF?
05:44:59:00	05:45:00:00	PROBABLY NOT.
05:45:00:00	05:45:03:00	PROBABLY NOT.
05:45:03:00	05:45:04:00	I WANT TO BE HONEST WITH
05:45:04:00	05:45:04:00	EVERYBODY.
05:45:04:00	05:45:07:00	BUT WHAT BUT WHAT IT DOES SAY
05:45:07:00	05:45:10:00	IS THAT WE WE RESPECT HIM.
05:45:10:00	05:45:11:00	WE RESPECT THE WORK HE DOES.
05:45:11:00	05:45:15:00	WE RESPECT HIM AS A MAN.
05:45:15:00	05:45:16:00	WE RESPECT HIM AS A POLICE
05:45:16:00	05:45:18:00	OFFICER.
05:45:18:00	05:45:19:00	WE RESPECT HIM AS A COMMUNITY
05:45:19:00	05:45:19:00	LEADER.
05:45:19:00	05:45:20:00	I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE
05:45:20:00	05:45:24:00	RESOLUTION DOES.
05:45:24:00	05:45:24:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

06:17:18:00	06:17:19:00	SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE
06:17:19:00	06:17:23:00	MADISON PARK IS BOSTON'S ONLY
06:17:23:00	06:17:26:00	LOW TECH HIGH SCHOOL PLAYING AN
06:17:26:00	06:17:27:00	IMPORTANT ROLE IN PREPARING
06:17:27:00	06:17:27:00	STUDENTS AND ADULT LEARNERS FOR
06:17:27:00	06:17:30:00	THE WORKFORCE.
06:17:30:00	06:17:30:00	HOWEVER, OUTDATED FACILITIES
06:17:30:00	06:17:34:00	HAVE HINDERED ITS ABILITY TO
06:17:34:00	06:17:34:00	MEET THESE NEEDS AND SUPPORT
06:17:34:00	06:17:37:00	THE STUDENTS THE CITY HAS
06:17:37:00	06:17:38:00	COMMITTED TO ENSURING THAT THE

06:17:41:00	06:17:41:00	READY BY SUMMER 2025.
06:17:41:00	06:17:45:00	YET WE FACED ANOTHER DELAY AND
06:17:45:00	06:17:46:00	THE CITY CHOOSES TO PURSUE
06:17:46:00	06:17:49:00	ALTERNATE FUNDING A PROCESS
06:17:49:00	06:17:50:00	WHICH MANY HAVE ARE CONCERNED
06:17:50:00	06:17:53:00	THAT IS NO GUARANTEE THIS DELAY
06:17:53:00	06:17:56:00	YET AGAIN ESCALATE THE COSTS
06:17:56:00	06:17:57:00	BUT UNDERMINES THE TRUST AND
06:17:57:00	06:18:00:00	STALLS CRITICAL INVESTMENTS IN
06:18:00:00	06:18:00:00	OUR STUDENTS AND WORKFORCE.
06:18:00:00	06:18:03:00	MADISON PARK IS NOT JUST A
06:18:03:00	06:18:04:00	SCHOOL IT'S A LIFELINE FOR
06:18:04:00	06:18:04:00	ECONOMIC MOBILITY PARTICULARLY
06:18:04:00	06:18:07:00	FOR STUDENTS FROM
06:18:07:00	06:18:07:00	UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES.
06:18:07:00	06:18:11:00	EVERY DELAY THAT IMPACTS
06:18:11:00	06:18:11:00	STUDENTS FUTURE BOSTON
06:18:11:00	06:18:14:00	ABILITIES TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE
06:18:14:00	06:18:14:00	.
06:18:14:00	06:18:15:00	BUT I JUST BEFORE I, I WANT TO
06:18:15:00	06:18:19:00	CLEAR UP FOR THE MISCONCEPTION
06:18:19:00	06:18:20:00	THAT WE ALL MIGHT BE
06:18:20:00	06:18:23:00	EXPERIENCING HERE IS THAT FOR
06:18:23:00	06:18:23:00	THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW MADISON
06:18:23:00	06:18:27:00	PARK IT'S BEEN I BELIEVE 13
06:18:27:00	06:18:27:00	YEARS THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING
06:18:27:00	06:18:30:00	ABOUT THE REDESIGN OF THIS
06:18:30:00	06:18:31:00	PARTICULAR SCHOOL.
06:18:31:00	06:18:34:00	THAT'S AN ENTIRE, YOU KNOW,
06:18:34:00	06:18:35:00	WHOLE DECADE AND THREE YEARS
06:18:35:00	06:18:35:00	FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO
06:18:35:00	06:18:37:00	DO MATH.
06:18:37:00	06:18:38:00	AND SO THIS WHOLE IDEA
06:18:38:00	06:18:42:00	OF WAITING YET AGAIN FEELS A
06:18:42:00	06:18:45:00	BIT OPPRESSIVE.
06:18:45:00	06:18:49:00	AND I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT
06:18:49:00	06:18:50:00	LATER TO COME THERE WILL ALSO
06:18:50:00	06:18:53:00	BE ANOTHER ACT FOR US TO SHOW
06:18:53:00	06:19:00:00	SOME SOLIDARITY WITH COMMUNITY
06:19:00:00	06:19:00:00	.
06:19:00:00	06:19:04:00	WHYTE STADIUM IS ALSO ASKING
06:19:04:00	06:19:05:00	FOR LOVE AND SUPPORT THAT IT SO
06:19:05:00	06:19:08:00	NEEDS AND I FEEL LIKE WE'VE
06:19:08:00	06:19:09:00	BECOME A CITY THAT CONTINUES TO
06:19:09:00	06:19:12:00	PIT PEOPLE AGAINST EACH OTHER.
06:19:12:00	06:19:15:00	WE BECOME A CITY THAT SAYS IF
06:19:15:00	06:19:19:00	YOU IF I IF YOU VOTE THIS WAY
06:19:19:00	06:19:20:00	AND WE DON'T MOVE I'M GOING TO
06:19:20:00	06:19:20:00	GIVE YOU THE EXAMPLE OF THE
06:19:20:00	06:19:23:00	O'BRIANT WHEN WE FOUGHT TO HAVE
06:19:23:00	06:19:26:00	THE O'BRIANT MOVE STOPPED FROM
06:19:26:00	06:19:27:00	MOVING FROM ROXBURY TO WEST
06:19:27:00	06:19:30:00	ROXBURY, THE FAMILIES WHO WERE
06:19:30:00	06:19:33:00	FIGHTING TO KEEP THE TO KEEP
06:19:33:00	06:19:37:00	THE O'BRIANT IN ROXBURY WERE
06:19:37:00	06:19:38:00	THEN MET WITH WELL NOW YOU GET
06:19:38:00	06:19:41:00	NOTHING.
06:19:41:00	06:19:42:00	AND I THINK THAT THAT'S A
06:19:42:00	06:19:44:00	REALLY BAD MESSAGE TO SEND TO
06:19:44:00	06:19:45:00	FAMILIES HERE IN THE CITY
06:19:45:00	06:19:49:00	OF BOSTON AND IT ALMOST FEELS
06:19:49:00	06:19:52:00	LIKE IT'S INTENTIONAL AND I
06:19:52:00	06:19:53:00	KNOW THAT PEOPLE HATE WHEN I
06:19:53:00	06:19:56:00	SAY THAT WE ARE ERODING TRUST
06:19:56:00	06:19:56:00	IN GOVERNMENT.
06:19:56:00	06:20:00:00	I WILL CONTINUE TO SAY IT
06:20:00:00	06:20:00:00	BECAUSE WHEN I RAN FOR OFFICE
06:20:00:00	06:20:04:00	AS A PARENT ORGANIZER IT WAS
06:20:04:00	06:20:07:00	BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF FAITH
06:20:07:00	06:20:08:00	THAT WE HAD IN THE BOSTON
06:20:08:00	06:20:08:00	PUBLIC SCHOOLS THAT BROUGHT
06:20:08:00	06:20:11:00	MEJIA AND NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED
06:20:11:00	06:20:14:00	EVEN THOUGH I AM HERE.
06:20:14:00	06:20:15:00	SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR
06:20:15:00	06:20:18:00	US TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT AND
06:20:18:00	06:20:19:00	THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO STAND
06:20:19:00	06:20:22:00	IN SOLIDARITY WITH THOSE WHO
06:20:22:00	06:20:22:00	HAVE BEEN LEADING THE FIGHT.
06:20:22:00	06:20:25:00	IT SENDS A MESSAGE THAT YOU
06:20:25:00	06:20:26:00	KNOW, I THINK MADISON MADISON
06:20:26:00	06:20:30:00	PARK DESERVES TO BE PUT ON THE
06:20:30:00	06:20:34:00	PRIORITY LIST.
06:20:34:00	06:20:34:00	THANK YOU.

06:20:34:00	06:20:37:00	THE CHAIRMAN OF THIS COMES WITH
06:20:37:00	06:20:38:00	AN INVITATION NEAR THE FLOOR.

06:20:42:00	06:20:44:00	FILING THIS.
06:20:44:00	06:20:45:00	I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE
06:20:45:00	06:20:48:00	GET UP AND, YOU KNOW, USE OUR
06:20:48:00	06:20:51:00	PLATFORM TO ADVOCATE FOR
06:20:51:00	06:20:52:00	DIFFERENT THINGS WHETHER IT BE
06:20:52:00	06:20:55:00	CAPITAL INVESTMENTS OR PROJECTS
06:20:55:00	06:20:56:00	IN OUR IN OUR CITY BEING THAT
06:20:56:00	06:20:59:00	MADISON PARK TECHNICAL
06:20:59:00	06:20:59:00	VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL IS IN
06:20:59:00	06:21:00:00	DISTRICT SEVEN OF COURSE I AM
06:21:00:00	06:21:02:00	IN SUPPORT OF IT AND I WOULD
06:21:02:00	06:21:06:00	SAY THAT THE LAST FEW MEETINGS
06:21:06:00	06:21:09:00	THAT I HAVE GONE TO TO GAIN
06:21:09:00	06:21:09:00	MORE INSIGHT OR UPDATES ON
06:21:09:00	06:21:13:00	WHERE WE ARE I UNDERSTAND THAT
06:21:13:00	06:21:17:00	THESE YOU KNOW, IT MAY BE
06:21:17:00	06:21:20:00	BETWEEN 700 MAYBE EVEN POSSIBLY
06:21:20:00	06:21:21:00	$900 MILLION TO DO WHAT
06:21:21:00	06:21:25:00	COMMUNITY HAS DEMANDED AND ASK
06:21:25:00	06:21:25:00	FOR.
06:21:25:00	06:21:28:00	AND THEN THERE'S THERE'S SOME
06:21:28:00	06:21:29:00	CONCERNS THAT THERE WERE A
06:21:29:00	06:21:32:00	COUPLE PROGRAMS THAT COULDN'T
06:21:32:00	06:21:33:00	BE FIT BUT YOU KNOW, WE
06:21:33:00	06:21:33:00	COULDN'T GET EVERYTHING THAT WE
06:21:33:00	06:21:36:00	WANTED BUT THERE WERE A COUPLE
06:21:36:00	06:21:36:00	OF THINGS AND AND THERE'S STILL
06:21:36:00	06:21:37:00	THERE'S STILL ROOM FOR
06:21:37:00	06:21:39:00	CONVERSATION IS STILL ROOM FOR
06:21:39:00	06:21:40:00	BACK AND FORTH.
06:21:40:00	06:21:40:00	THE ADMINISTRATION HAS
06:21:40:00	06:21:43:00	COMMITTED AND PROMISED TO
06:21:43:00	06:21:44:00	IMPLEMENTING OR COORDINATING OR
06:21:44:00	06:21:47:00	COLLABORATING WITH MADISON
06:21:47:00	06:21:48:00	PARK.
06:21:48:00	06:21:48:00	THE PRINCIPAL HAS BEEN A STRONG
06:21:48:00	06:21:52:00	ADVOCATE IN ADVOCATING FOR THE
06:21:52:00	06:21:52:00	CURRENT STUDENTS AND SAYING
06:21:52:00	06:21:53:00	LOOK, WE CAN'T FORGET OR
06:21:53:00	06:21:55:00	DISMISS THE STUDENTS THAT ARE
06:21:55:00	06:21:56:00	CURRENTLY THERE.
06:21:56:00	06:21:59:00	WE MUST COORDINATE SERVICES
06:21:59:00	06:22:00:00	WITH THE CITY OF BOSTON, USE
06:22:00:00	06:22:01:00	OUR RESOURCES SO THAT WE RETAIN
06:22:01:00	06:22:03:00	AND SUSTAIN THE PROGRAMS AND
06:22:03:00	06:22:04:00	SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS WITH
06:22:04:00	06:22:07:00	QUALITY EDUCATION AT MADISON
06:22:07:00	06:22:07:00	PARK.
06:22:07:00	06:22:08:00	SO I HEARD THAT LOUD AND CLEAR
06:22:08:00	06:22:11:00	AND WAS VERY PLEASED THAT THE
06:22:11:00	06:22:12:00	ADMINISTRATION WAS VERY
06:22:12:00	06:22:15:00	FORTHCOMING AND HAS FOLLOWED UP
06:22:15:00	06:22:16:00	WITH MY OFFICE TO BE ABLE TO
06:22:16:00	06:22:19:00	ACTUALIZE THAT THOSE EFFORTS.
06:22:19:00	06:22:22:00	IN ADDITION TO THAT IN PART AND
06:22:22:00	06:22:23:00	IN APPLYING FOR MY VA LOAN,
06:22:23:00	06:22:26:00	IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT WE WILL
06:22:26:00	06:22:27:00	NEED ASSISTANCE IF WE CAN GET
06:22:27:00	06:22:30:00	STATE FUNDS TO SUPPORT
06:22:30:00	06:22:31:00	SOMETHING LIKE THIS WE SHOULD
06:22:31:00	06:22:34:00	WHERE IF WE'RE ADDING FUNDS YOU
06:22:34:00	06:22:37:00	KNOW, JUST 50 MILLION OR
06:22:37:00	06:22:39:00	HOPEFULLY IT STICKS TO JUST 50
06:22:39:00	06:22:40:00	MILLION OR ANY OTHER TYPES
06:22:40:00	06:22:45:00	OF PROGRAMING THEN WE JUST BUT
06:22:45:00	06:22:47:00	WE'RE LOOKING FOR 2 TO 300
06:22:47:00	06:22:48:00	MILLION TO BE ABLE TO
06:22:48:00	06:22:48:00	ACCOMPLISH THIS.
06:22:48:00	06:22:51:00	SO I BELIEVE THAT IT'S
06:22:51:00	06:22:51:00	PRACTICAL.
06:22:51:00	06:22:53:00	I WOULD HAVE HOPED I WOULD HAVE
06:22:53:00	06:22:55:00	I PRAYED AND WISH AND PRAYED
06:22:55:00	06:22:56:00	THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN RIGHT
06:22:56:00	06:22:56:00	AWAY.
06:22:56:00	06:22:58:00	I DO UNDERSTAND THE
06:22:58:00	06:23:02:00	ADMINISTRATION'S RATIONALE
06:23:02:00	06:23:03:00	BEHIND THIS AND LOOK FORWARD TO
06:23:03:00	06:23:03:00	CONTINUE TO ADD NOT ONLY
06:23:03:00	06:23:06:00	ADVOCATE BUT TO BE ABLE TO SHOW
06:23:06:00	06:23:07:00	UP TO THESE MEETINGS AND
06:23:07:00	06:23:10:00	SUPPORT THE FRIENDS OF MADISON

06:23:25:00	06:23:26:00	MY CLASSMATES READ FOLKS THAT I
06:23:26:00	06:23:27:00	WILL GET IN TROUBLE IF I START
06:23:27:00	06:23:28:00	TRYING TO REMEMBER NAMES
06:23:28:00	06:23:29:00	BECAUSE I WON'T.

06:24:04:00	06:24:06:00	PUTTING THIS RESOLUTION
06:24:06:00	06:24:06:00	FORWARD.
06:24:06:00	06:24:09:00	I THINK WE ALL LIKE TO GET THE
06:24:09:00	06:24:10:00	SCHOOL BILL TOMORROW BUT AS
06:24:10:00	06:24:14:00	FRUSTRATES AS FRUSTRATING AS IT
06:24:14:00	06:24:16:00	MUST BE A PROCESS IS WE SHOULD
06:24:16:00	06:24:17:00	BE GOING THROUGH IT ESPECIALLY
06:24:17:00	06:24:20:00	FOR A PROJECT OF THIS SIZE.
06:24:20:00	06:24:21:00	WE CAN'T LEAVE HUNDREDS
06:24:21:00	06:24:21:00	OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON THE
06:24:21:00	06:24:24:00	TABLE AT THE STATE THAT WAY AND
06:24:24:00	06:24:25:00	WE KNOW THAT A PORTION OF OUR
06:24:25:00	06:24:28:00	SALE TAX GOES TO FUNDING THAT
06:24:28:00	06:24:32:00	SBA THAT'S OUR CITY MONEY AND
06:24:32:00	06:24:33:00	THAT POOL AND WE DON'T I FEEL
06:24:33:00	06:24:35:00	GET OUR FAIR SHARE OF IT NOW WE
06:24:35:00	06:24:36:00	COULD PUSH OUR COLLEAGUES ON
06:24:36:00	06:24:39:00	BEACON HILL TO SPEED UP THE
06:24:39:00	06:24:39:00	MDBA PROCESS SO WE'RE NOT
06:24:39:00	06:24:43:00	LOOKING AT SUCH A LENGTHY
06:24:43:00	06:24:43:00	TIMELINE OR BETTER YET YOU KNOW
06:24:43:00	06:24:47:00	START ADVOCATING FOR THE STATE
06:24:47:00	06:24:47:00	TO PASS A SPECIAL APPROPRIATION
06:24:47:00	06:24:50:00	FOR MADISON PARK SINCE IT'S
06:24:50:00	06:24:50:00	LIKELY GOING TO ATTRACT
06:24:50:00	06:24:51:00	STUDENTS FROM OTHER NEARBY
06:24:51:00	06:24:54:00	TOWNS AND WOULD BE A GAME
06:24:54:00	06:24:55:00	CHANGER FOR THE REGION.
06:24:55:00	06:24:58:00	I ACKNOWLEDGE AND RESPECT THIS
06:24:58:00	06:24:58:00	URGENCY.
06:24:58:00	06:24:59:00	I ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE HOW LENGTHY
06:24:59:00	06:25:02:00	THE SBA PROCESS IS BUT I
06:25:02:00	06:25:03:00	BELIEVE AT THIS TIME IT IS OUR
06:25:03:00	06:25:06:00	BEST INTEREST TO EXPLORE ALL
06:25:06:00	06:25:06:00	FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CAP
06:25:06:00	06:25:07:00	FOR A CAPITAL PROJECT

06:25:10:00	06:25:11:00	SO YES, I SUPPORT A NEW MADISON
06:25:11:00	06:25:14:00	PARK HOWEVER EXPLORE AND MSB
06:25:14:00	06:25:17:00	FUNDING ONLY PUTS THE CITY IN A

06:25:18:00	06:25:19:00	RENOVATE MORE SCHOOLS AND TO
06:25:19:00	06:25:22:00	THE STATED ARTS FACILITIES THAT
06:25:22:00	06:25:22:00	OUR STUDENTS AND STUDENTS NEED.

06:25:26:00	06:25:26:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
06:25:26:00	06:25:29:00	COUNCILOR PIPPIN AND
06:25:29:00	06:25:30:00	COUNCILOR WEBER AND THEN WE'LL
06:25:30:00	06:25:30:00	GO AROUND THE HORSESHOE AND
06:25:30:00	06:25:31:00	COUNCILOR PIPPEN.
06:25:31:00	06:25:33:00	YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
06:25:33:00	06:25:33:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
06:25:33:00	06:25:37:00	I AM COUNCILOR WHERE L TOOK THE
06:25:37:00	06:25:38:00	WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH
06:25:38:00	06:25:40:00	WHERE I ALSO AGREE THAT MADISON
06:25:40:00	06:25:44:00	PARK NEEDS TO BE REDEVELOPED.
06:25:44:00	06:25:45:00	I WENT TO SCHOOL RIGHT NEXT
06:25:45:00	06:25:45:00	DOOR AT THE O'BRYANT AND I
06:25:45:00	06:25:48:00	ALWAYS THOUGHT TO MYSELF WHY
06:25:48:00	06:25:49:00	ISN'T THE ONLY VOCATIONAL
06:25:49:00	06:25:49:00	SCHOOL IN THE CITY OF BOSTON IN
06:25:49:00	06:25:49:00	BETTER CONDITIONS?
06:25:49:00	06:25:52:00	AND I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS
06:25:52:00	06:25:53:00	WORKING WITH CONGRESSMAN
06:25:53:00	06:25:53:00	KENNEDY AND WE TOOK A TRIP DOWN
06:25:53:00	06:25:56:00	THE FALL RIVER TO VISIT DIAMOND
06:25:56:00	06:25:57:00	VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL AND THAT
06:25:57:00	06:25:57:00	IS A STATE OF THE ART
06:25:57:00	06:26:00:00	VOCATIONAL TECH SCHOOL THAT
06:26:00:00	06:26:00:00	PROVIDES GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
06:26:00:00	06:26:04:00	THEY HAVE A MASSIVE PROGRAM
06:26:04:00	06:26:04:00	DOWN THERE.
06:26:04:00	06:26:05:00	THEY HAVE THE GREAT GREAT AUTO
06:26:05:00	06:26:07:00	BODY SHOP, ONE OF THE BEST IN
06:26:07:00	06:26:08:00	THE ENTIRE STATE.
06:26:08:00	06:26:08:00	AND I SAID WHY DON'T WE HAVE
06:26:08:00	06:26:10:00	THAT HERE IN BOSTON?
06:26:10:00	06:26:11:00	SO I WANT TO BE SURE THAT
06:26:11:00	06:26:12:00	MADISON PARK GETS THAT TYPE
06:26:12:00	06:26:14:00	OF TREATMENT AND STUDENTS IN
06:26:14:00	06:26:15:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON ALSO HAVE
06:26:15:00	06:26:16:00	THE SAME OPPORTUNITY AT THE
06:26:16:00	06:26:18:00	SAME TIME.
06:26:18:00	06:26:19:00	I ALSO BELIEVE THAT DURING
06:26:19:00	06:26:19:00	THESE TIMES OF FINANCIAL
06:26:19:00	06:26:22:00	QUESTIONS AND WHAT'S HAPPENED
06:26:22:00	06:26:23:00	WITH TAXES AND EVERYTHING, WE
06:26:23:00	06:26:24:00	NEED TO BE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE
06:26:24:00	06:26:26:00	OF HOW WE GO WITH THE TIMELINE.
06:26:26:00	06:26:29:00	SO I DO BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD
06:26:29:00	06:26:29:00	HOLD THE STATE ACCOUNTABLE TO
06:26:29:00	06:26:30:00	MAKE SURE THAT THEY DON'T
06:26:30:00	06:26:33:00	PROVIDE ANY MORE DELAYS.
06:26:33:00	06:26:34:00	WE SHOULD TAKE OPPORTUNE
06:26:34:00	06:26:34:00	OPPORTUNITY WITH THE MSB
06:26:34:00	06:26:34:00	FUNDING.
06:26:34:00	06:26:37:00	SO TODAY I WON'T BE SO I WON'T
06:26:37:00	06:26:38:00	BE VOTING AS A BOARD OF THIS
06:26:38:00	06:26:40:00	BUT I DO SUPPORT A MADISON PARK

06:26:42:00	06:26:44:00	ALREADY SPOKEN ON THIS STOCK.

06:27:29:00	06:27:30:00	NEEDS TO BE REBUILT AND
06:27:30:00	06:27:34:00	BUILDING THE STATE OF THE ART

06:27:39:00	06:27:45:00	DON BOSCO THAT'S NOW CLOSED.
06:27:45:00	06:27:48:00	I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT 11A
06:27:48:00	06:27:51:00	COUPLE OF POINTS IS THE CITY
06:27:51:00	06:27:52:00	OF BOSTON HAS NOT YET SUBMITTED
06:27:52:00	06:27:55:00	AN APPLICATION TO THE MAYOR
06:27:55:00	06:27:56:00	SCHOOL BUILDING AUTHORITY YET
06:27:56:00	06:27:59:00	FOR MADISON PARK AS FAR AS AS
06:27:59:00	06:28:00:00	FAR AS I KNOW THAT'S WHAT I
06:28:00:00	06:28:06:00	HEARD CLEARLY LAST NIGHT.
06:28:06:00	06:28:06:00	I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE NOW
06:28:06:00	06:28:07:00	STATE BUILDING AUTHORITY HAS
06:28:07:00	06:28:10:00	BEEN VERY GENEROUS IN THE PAST
06:28:10:00	06:28:13:00	OF THE CITY OF BOSTON.
06:28:13:00	06:28:14:00	THE REASON I SAY THAT I DON'T
06:28:14:00	06:28:15:00	KNOW WHAT TYPE OF IMPACT THAT
06:28:15:00	06:28:18:00	WILL HAVE ON THE TIMEFRAME BUT
06:28:18:00	06:28:21:00	WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND WHAT I
06:28:21:00	06:28:22:00	WOULD SAY IS IF THIS IS A
06:28:22:00	06:28:24:00	PRIORITY FOR US TO BUILD THE
06:28:24:00	06:28:25:00	STATE OF STATE OF THE ART
06:28:25:00	06:28:28:00	MADISON PARK TECHNICAL
06:28:28:00	06:28:31:00	VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL WHICH I
06:28:31:00	06:28:32:00	THINK IT SHOULD BE A MAJOR
06:28:32:00	06:28:33:00	PRIORITY WELL LET'S PUT IT IN
06:28:33:00	06:28:36:00	THE BUDGET AND LET'S PUT IT IN
06:28:36:00	06:28:40:00	THE CAPITAL BUDGET AND BUILD IT
06:28:40:00	06:28:44:00	IMMEDIATELY IN WE I DON'T THINK
06:28:44:00	06:28:45:00	WE CAN RELY ON THE MASS STATE
06:28:45:00	06:28:47:00	BUILDING AUTHORITY.
06:28:47:00	06:28:47:00	MAYBE THEY'LL MAYBE THEY'LL BE
06:28:47:00	06:28:48:00	HELPFUL.
06:28:48:00	06:28:51:00	MAYBE THEY WON'T.
06:28:51:00	06:28:52:00	BUT IN THE MEANTIME, IF THE
06:28:52:00	06:28:55:00	COMMUNITY HAS WAITED FOR ALL
06:28:55:00	06:28:58:00	THIS PERIOD OF TIME WAITING FOR
06:28:58:00	06:29:02:00	A NEW HIGH SCHOOL, IT SHOULD IT
06:29:02:00	06:29:02:00	BE DELAYED, IT SHOULD MOVE
06:29:02:00	06:29:02:00	FORWARD.
06:29:02:00	06:29:06:00	IT SHOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH
06:29:06:00	06:29:06:00	CAPITAL MONEY FROM THE CITY
06:29:06:00	06:29:12:00	OF BOSTON IN MY OPINION THERE
06:29:12:00	06:29:12:00	THE STUDENTS DESERVE THAT.
06:29:12:00	06:29:13:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
06:29:13:00	06:29:13:00	THANK YOU.
06:29:13:00	06:29:16:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
06:29:16:00	06:29:17:00	COUNCILOR WEBER AND THEN
06:29:17:00	06:29:17:00	COUNCILOR DURKIN AND THEN WE'LL
06:29:17:00	06:29:20:00	GO BACK TO THOSE WHO HAVE YET
06:29:20:00	06:29:20:00	TO SPEAK.
06:29:20:00	06:29:21:00	SORRY.
06:29:21:00	06:29:24:00	OKAY.
06:29:24:00	06:29:25:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
06:29:25:00	06:29:25:00	I WAS TRYING TO SORRY AND I
06:29:25:00	06:29:26:00	DON'T KNOW IF I MESSED UP BY
06:29:26:00	06:29:28:00	THE ORDER.
06:29:28:00	06:29:29:00	I JUST I SAW COUNCILOR FINISH
06:29:29:00	06:29:31:00	AS ANDERSON HAD HER LIGHT ON.
06:29:31:00	06:29:32:00	THIS IS THE BUILDINGS IN HER
06:29:32:00	06:29:32:00	DISTRICT.
06:29:32:00	06:29:35:00	I'M HAPPY TO OWE IT TO HER, YOU
06:29:35:00	06:29:36:00	KNOW, BUT I'LL JUST I'LL BE
06:29:36:00	06:29:39:00	I'LL BE QUICK.
06:29:39:00	06:29:42:00	YOU KNOW, I, I I'LL I'M GOING
06:29:42:00	06:29:43:00	TO JOIN MY COLLEAGUES WHO
06:29:43:00	06:29:43:00	OPPOSE THE RESOLUTION.
06:29:43:00	06:29:47:00	I DON'T THINK IT'S FISCALLY
06:29:47:00	06:29:47:00	RESPONSIBLE TO LEAVE
06:29:47:00	06:29:47:00	POTENTIALLY HUNDREDS
06:29:47:00	06:29:50:00	OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON THE
06:29:50:00	06:29:50:00	TABLE.
06:29:50:00	06:29:51:00	YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
06:29:51:00	06:29:53:00	THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING
06:29:53:00	06:29:54:00	ABLE TO CREATE A SCHOOL THAT
06:29:54:00	06:29:57:00	HAS FEWER GRADES IF WE
06:29:57:00	06:29:57:00	POTENTIALLY IF WE DON'T EVEN
06:29:57:00	06:29:58:00	SEEK THIS MONEY.
06:29:58:00	06:30:01:00	UM, WE'VE ALREADY PAID INTO
06:30:01:00	06:30:04:00	THIS PROGRAM WE SHOULD BE USING
06:30:04:00	06:30:05:00	THIS MONEY AND I THINK THE
06:30:05:00	06:30:07:00	PEOPLE WHO REALLY WOULD BE
06:30:07:00	06:30:12:00	HAPPY TO HAVE US BYPASS THIS OR
06:30:12:00	06:30:12:00	GIVE IT UP ARE PLACES LIKE
06:30:12:00	06:30:16:00	MILTON AND NEEDHAM PLACES THAT
06:30:16:00	06:30:16:00	DON'T BUILD THE HOUSING THEY'RE
06:30:16:00	06:30:19:00	SUPPOSED TO THEY CAN'T WAIT TO
06:30:19:00	06:30:20:00	ACCESS TO JUMP AHEAD IN THE
06:30:20:00	06:30:23:00	LINE ACCESS THIS MONEY AND
06:30:23:00	06:30:24:00	BUILD NEW SCHOOLS IN THEIR
06:30:24:00	06:30:24:00	TOWNS.
06:30:24:00	06:30:26:00	YOU KNOW, I THINK WE SHOULD
06:30:26:00	06:30:27:00	APPLY FOR THE MONEY AND GET
06:30:27:00	06:30:32:00	MADISON PARK AND ITS STUDENTS
06:30:32:00	06:30:32:00	WHAT THEY NEED.
06:30:32:00	06:30:32:00	THANK YOU.
06:30:32:00	06:30:35:00	THANK YOU THE CHAIR AND I JUST
06:30:35:00	06:30:36:00	CONSIDER CAN CONSIDER CAN YOU
06:30:36:00	06:30:36:00	HAVE THE FLOOR?
06:30:36:00	06:30:37:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH.
06:30:37:00	06:30:38:00	I'LL BE OPPOSING THIS
06:30:38:00	06:30:42:00	RESOLUTION BUT I DID WANT TO I
06:30:42:00	06:30:42:00	DO APPRECIATE THE HEARING THAT
06:30:42:00	06:30:46:00	WAS HAD AND I DO APPRECIATE THE
06:30:46:00	06:30:49:00	LIGHT THAT'S BEEN SHINED
06:30:49:00	06:30:50:00	BECAUSE I MEAN SHOULD WE HAVE
06:30:50:00	06:30:53:00	PURSUED THIS MONEY EARLIER AS A
06:30:53:00	06:30:54:00	CITY?
06:30:54:00	06:30:54:00	I THINK SO.
06:30:54:00	06:30:57:00	BUT NOW THAT WE'RE AT THE
06:30:57:00	06:30:57:00	MOMENT THAT WE'RE AT IT DOESN'T
06:30:57:00	06:30:58:00	MEAN THAT WE SHOULDN'T PURSUE
06:30:58:00	06:31:00:00	IT NOW.
06:31:00:00	06:31:01:00	AND I THINK THAT'S SORT OF WHAT
06:31:01:00	06:31:04:00	I LEARNED FROM WATCHING BACK
06:31:04:00	06:31:05:00	THE HEARING AND I THINK IT'S
06:31:05:00	06:31:08:00	REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE NOT
06:31:08:00	06:31:09:00	LET THE FACT THAT WE DIDN'T
06:31:09:00	06:31:12:00	START THIS PROCESS EARLIER MAY
06:31:12:00	06:31:16:00	MAKE US MAKE THE WRONG
06:31:16:00	06:31:16:00	DECISION.
06:31:16:00	06:31:17:00	I THINK WE SHOULD SEEK THIS
06:31:17:00	06:31:20:00	MONEY AND IF THAT MEANS DELAYS
06:31:20:00	06:31:21:00	BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE TIME FOR
06:31:21:00	06:31:23:00	US TO HEAR BACK, I THINK THAT
06:31:23:00	06:31:24:00	THOSE ARE NECESSARILY DELAYS TO
06:31:24:00	06:31:25:00	FIGURE OUT IF WE CAN ACCESS
06:31:25:00	06:31:28:00	THIS MONEY.
06:31:28:00	06:31:28:00	THANK YOU.
06:31:28:00	06:31:32:00	AND JUST THAT'S A I AM DEEPLY
06:31:32:00	06:31:32:00	FRUSTRATED THAT THREE YEARS AGO
06:31:32:00	06:31:33:00	WE DIDN'T APPLY FOR THIS
06:31:33:00	06:31:33:00	FUNDING.
06:31:33:00	06:31:35:00	IT MUST BE LIKE IT DOESN'T MAKE
06:31:35:00	06:31:36:00	ANY SENSE TO ME.
06:31:36:00	06:31:36:00	I DON'T GET IT.
06:31:36:00	06:31:39:00	I HAVE ASKED I DON'T UNDERSTAND
06:31:39:00	06:31:39:00	WHY WE DIDN'T DO THIS.
06:31:39:00	06:31:40:00	MADISON PARK CONTINUES TO BE
06:31:40:00	06:31:40:00	POLITICAL.
06:31:40:00	06:31:43:00	IT CONTINUES TO SUFFER FROM
06:31:43:00	06:31:43:00	ADMINISTRATION AFTER
06:31:43:00	06:31:46:00	ADMINISTRATION NOT COMMITTING
06:31:46:00	06:31:47:00	TO IT.
06:31:47:00	06:31:48:00	WE NEED OF A TECH SCHOOL THAT
06:31:48:00	06:31:50:00	IS AS GOOD AS THE ONE IN BLUE
06:31:50:00	06:31:51:00	HILLS THAT IS AS GOOD AS THE
06:31:51:00	06:31:52:00	ONE THAT THEY JUST BUILT OUT
06:31:52:00	06:31:54:00	IMPLEMENT WHERE THEY GOT MONEY
06:31:54:00	06:31:55:00	FROM THE MSB IT DOESN'T MAKE
06:31:55:00	06:31:55:00	ANY SENSE TO ME.
06:31:55:00	06:31:57:00	I ALSO AGREE THAT WE SHOULDN'T
06:31:57:00	06:31:58:00	BE LEAVING ANY MONEY ON THE
06:31:58:00	06:31:58:00	TABLE.
06:31:58:00	06:32:00:00	I REALLY HOPE THAT MADISON PARK
06:32:00:00	06:32:01:00	DOES NOT SUFFER FROM WHAT WE'VE
06:32:01:00	06:32:01:00	SEEN.
06:32:01:00	06:32:05:00	THAT'S WHAT BUILDS MISTRUST AND
06:32:05:00	06:32:06:00	WE HAVE TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT.
06:32:06:00	06:32:09:00	IT IS NOT HEALTHY FOR OUR
06:32:09:00	06:32:09:00	COMMUNITIES FOR US TO CONTINUE
06:32:09:00	06:32:10:00	TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS
06:32:10:00	06:32:12:00	DOWN THE LINE.
06:32:12:00	06:32:13:00	MAYBE A PROCESS TAKES SOME TIME
06:32:13:00	06:32:16:00	EITHER WAY WHETHER IT'S
06:32:16:00	06:32:17:00	ACCEPTED OR NOT, WE HAVE TO
06:32:17:00	06:32:20:00	REBUILD MADISON PARK LIKE IT
06:32:20:00	06:32:21:00	JUST HAS TO HAPPEN WITH MAYBE A
06:32:21:00	06:32:21:00	FUNDING OR NOT.
06:32:21:00	06:32:24:00	AND SO I THINK THE I ACTUALLY
06:32:24:00	06:32:25:00	THINK THAT THERE'S A LOT
06:32:25:00	06:32:25:00	OF THAT WE DO WRONG AS A CITY
06:32:25:00	06:32:28:00	WHEN IT COMES TO BUILDING NEW
06:32:28:00	06:32:28:00	BUILDINGS THAT YOU KNOW,
06:32:28:00	06:32:31:00	OFTENTIMES WE GET IN A LOT
06:32:31:00	06:32:35:00	OF IN THIS IN THIS HOLDING
06:32:35:00	06:32:35:00	PATTERN THAT IS REALLY
06:32:35:00	06:32:36:00	FRUSTRATING TO PART
06:32:36:00	06:32:36:00	OF DEPRIVING OUR KIDS OF THE
06:32:36:00	06:32:39:00	BUILDINGS THAT THEY DESERVE AND
06:32:39:00	06:32:40:00	THEY DESERVE BUILDINGS THAT
06:32:40:00	06:32:43:00	REFLECT THE DIGNITY THAT EACH
06:32:43:00	06:32:43:00	OF THEM HAVE INHERENTLY.
06:32:43:00	06:32:46:00	AND SO I JUST WANT TO JUST
06:32:46:00	06:32:47:00	REALLY HIGHLIGHT HOW DEEPLY
06:32:47:00	06:32:50:00	FRUSTRATED I AM THAT WE DIDN'T
06:32:50:00	06:32:53:00	PRIORITIZE MADISON PARK THREE
06:32:53:00	06:32:54:00	YEARS AGO AND THAT WE ARE HERE
06:32:54:00	06:32:57:00	NOW AND WE'RE TELLING PEOPLE
06:32:57:00	06:32:57:00	YOU HAVE TO WAIT, YOU'RE GOING
06:32:57:00	06:32:58:00	TO HAVE TO WAIT, YOU'RE GOING
06:32:58:00	06:33:00:00	TO HAVE TO WAIT BECAUSE WE
06:33:00:00	06:33:01:00	DON'T WANT TO LEAVE OUR DOLLARS
06:33:01:00	06:33:01:00	AT THE TABLE.
06:33:01:00	06:33:04:00	IT'S BAD IT'S BAD.
06:33:04:00	06:33:05:00	I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT VERY
06:33:05:00	06:33:05:00	CLEAR THAT I THINK IT IS VERY,
06:33:05:00	06:33:08:00	VERY BAD AND I SHARE THE
06:33:08:00	06:33:09:00	FRUSTRATION OF COMMUNITY ON
06:33:09:00	06:33:11:00	THIS ONE BECAUSE IT JUST SEEMS
06:33:11:00	06:33:15:00	LIKE IT JUST IT'S A HOT POTATO.
06:33:15:00	06:33:18:00	YOU KNOW, I'M JUST PASS IT ON
06:33:18:00	06:33:18:00	FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER.
06:33:18:00	06:33:19:00	SO I HOPE THAT'S NOT WHAT
06:33:19:00	06:33:19:00	HAPPENS HERE.
06:33:19:00	06:33:22:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES KINDS
06:33:22:00	06:33:23:00	OF FERNANDA ANDERSON THANK YOU.
06:33:23:00	06:33:27:00	MADAM PRESIDENT, I DO WANT TO
06:33:27:00	06:33:28:00	JUST CLARIFY SORRY IT'S BEEN A
06:33:28:00	06:33:30:00	LONG DAY SO I JUST WANTED TO
06:33:30:00	06:33:30:00	CLARIFY.
06:33:30:00	06:33:34:00	I, I SO I SUPPORT THE
06:33:34:00	06:33:35:00	RESOLUTION BUT I ALSO
06:33:35:00	06:33:38:00	UNDERSTAND THAT THE
06:33:38:00	06:33:38:00	ADMINISTRATION'S POINT IN TERMS
06:33:38:00	06:33:39:00	OF LIKE WE WE CANNOT LEAVE
06:33:39:00	06:33:41:00	MONEY AT THE TABLE.
06:33:41:00	06:33:42:00	WITH THAT BEING SAID, MADAM
06:33:42:00	06:33:43:00	PRESIDENT, YOU SAID IT REALLY
06:33:43:00	06:33:46:00	WELL JUST TO LEAD TO MY POINT
06:33:46:00	06:33:47:00	IS THAT YOU KNOW YOUR YOU
06:33:47:00	06:33:49:00	DANGLE THE CARROT AND THEN YOU
06:33:49:00	06:33:50:00	SAY DON'T YOU WANT THE CARROT?
06:33:50:00	06:33:50:00	DON'T YOU WANT THE CARROT IF
06:33:50:00	06:33:51:00	YOU DON'T IF YOU DON'T WANT THE
06:33:51:00	06:33:53:00	CARROT THEN YOU CAN'T GET IT.
06:33:53:00	06:33:53:00	AND THAT TYPE OF ATTITUDE WHERE
06:33:53:00	06:33:57:00	WE SAW WITH JOHN O'BRIEN WHEN
06:33:57:00	06:33:58:00	WE DIDN'T WANT IT TO MOVE OUT
06:33:58:00	06:34:01:00	OF ROXBURY THEN IT WAS LIKE
06:34:01:00	06:34:02:00	OKAY, WELL THEN YOU HAVE TO
06:34:02:00	06:34:02:00	WAIT THREE YEARS BEFORE YOU CAN
06:34:02:00	06:34:04:00	GET MONEY FOR ANY RENOVATIONS
06:34:04:00	06:34:05:00	AND THAT'S NOT THE ATTITUDE
06:34:05:00	06:34:08:00	THAT WE SHOULD BE SENDING TO OR
06:34:08:00	06:34:08:00	DEMONSTRATING WITH OUR
06:34:08:00	06:34:12:00	COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.
06:34:12:00	06:34:13:00	AND IT DOES FEEL LIKE WHAT WHEN
06:34:13:00	06:34:15:00	WE LOOK AT THE CAPITAL
06:34:15:00	06:34:16:00	INVESTMENTS WHERE DID WE
06:34:16:00	06:34:16:00	PRIORITIZE?
06:34:16:00	06:34:19:00	WE PRIORITIZE FENWAY SOUTH END
06:34:19:00	06:34:20:00	AND CHINATOWN FOR NEW SCHOOLS
06:34:20:00	06:34:23:00	FOR REDBRIDGE IS IT QUINCY?
06:34:23:00	06:34:27:00	WAS IT OUR TWO ARTS ACADEMY AND
06:34:27:00	06:34:30:00	A SCHOOL IN DISTRICT SEVEN IN
06:34:30:00	06:34:30:00	THE SOUTH END?
06:34:30:00	06:34:31:00	SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE AREAS
06:34:31:00	06:34:34:00	AND THOSE SCHOOLS ARE
06:34:34:00	06:34:34:00	PRIORITIZED THEN YOU WONDER
06:34:34:00	06:34:36:00	OKAY, WHY DID WE PRIORITIZE
06:34:36:00	06:34:37:00	MADISON THREE YEARS AGO AND I'M
06:34:37:00	06:34:40:00	SURE THERE ARE REASONS AND I'M
06:34:40:00	06:34:41:00	SAYING THAT THE FOLKS THAT HAVE
06:34:41:00	06:34:42:00	COME TO THESE MEETINGS AND ARE
06:34:42:00	06:34:44:00	WORKING THE ADMINISTRATION
06:34:44:00	06:34:44:00	REPRESENTATIVES THAT ARE
06:34:44:00	06:34:47:00	WORKING ON THIS I THINK THAT
06:34:47:00	06:34:48:00	THEY DO HAVE THE BEST
06:34:48:00	06:34:49:00	INTENTIONS AND WANT THIS TO
06:34:49:00	06:34:51:00	HAPPEN AND ARE SAYING THAT THE
06:34:51:00	06:34:52:00	BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT IT BECAUSE
06:34:52:00	06:34:54:00	THIS IS A MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE
06:34:54:00	06:34:55:00	PROJECT.
06:34:55:00	06:34:55:00	HOWEVER, MADISON'S BEEN WAITING
06:34:55:00	06:34:59:00	OVER A COUPLE OF DECADES NOW
06:34:59:00	06:34:59:00	NOW WITH THIS ADMINISTRATION
06:34:59:00	06:35:03:00	SAYING OKAY NOW MADISON, BUT
06:35:03:00	06:35:03:00	WAIT A LITTLE LONGER.
06:35:03:00	06:35:04:00	IT DOES FEEL LIKE WE'RE NOT
06:35:04:00	06:35:06:00	PRIORITIZING ROXBURY AGAIN OVER
06:35:06:00	06:35:11:00	FENWAY OR CHINATOWN OR SOUTH
06:35:11:00	06:35:11:00	BEND.
06:35:11:00	06:35:15:00	SO I WILL I WILL BE SUPPORTING
06:35:15:00	06:35:15:00	THE RESOLUTION AND IT'S A
06:35:15:00	06:35:15:00	RESOLUTION.
06:35:15:00	06:35:16:00	YES.
06:35:16:00	06:35:18:00	NOT LEGALLY BINDING.
06:35:18:00	06:35:19:00	HOWEVER, I UNDERSTAND THE POINT
06:35:19:00	06:35:22:00	AND IF WE CAN TO THE
06:35:22:00	06:35:23:00	ADMINISTRATION IF WE CAN WE
06:35:23:00	06:35:25:00	SHOULD AND IF WE CAN'T
06:35:25:00	06:35:26:00	HOPEFULLY THAT WE CONTINUE TO
06:35:26:00	06:35:29:00	WORK TOGETHER TO DO THE BEST TO
06:35:29:00	06:35:30:00	AT LEAST PUT A TIMELINE ON IT
06:35:30:00	06:35:33:00	SO THAT WE CAN SO THAT THEY CAN
06:35:33:00	06:35:34:00	KEEP THEIR WORD.
06:35:34:00	06:35:34:00	THANK YOU.
06:35:34:00	06:35:35:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES

06:35:40:00	06:35:44:00	CONVERSATION AND FOR GIVING US
06:35:44:00	06:35:45:00	SOME LIFE TO WHAT WE'RE TRYING
06:35:45:00	06:35:45:00	TO DO HERE.

06:35:48:00	06:35:48:00	DOING THAT.
06:35:48:00	06:35:54:00	I WANT TO BE REALLY CLEAR THAT
06:35:54:00	06:35:55:00	NO ONE IS SAYING THAT WE CANNOT
06:35:55:00	06:35:58:00	APPLY FOR OTHER FUNDING
06:35:58:00	06:35:58:00	STREAMS.
06:35:58:00	06:36:05:00	WHAT I AM ASKING US TO DO IS
06:36:05:00	06:36:09:00	WITH FIDELITY TO FULFILL THE
06:36:09:00	06:36:10:00	COMMITMENTS THAT WE HAVE MADE
06:36:10:00	06:36:14:00	TO THE PEOPLE THAT WE SERVE AND
06:36:14:00	06:36:17:00	WE STATED THAT WE WERE GOING TO
06:36:17:00	06:36:21:00	BE SHOVEL READY.
06:36:21:00	06:36:24:00	2025 WELL ALLEGEDLY IT'S ON THE
06:36:24:00	06:36:27:00	WEBSITE AND I THINK I KNOW
06:36:27:00	06:36:31:00	WE'RE ALL LATE.
06:36:31:00	06:36:32:00	WE'VE BEEN HERE ALL DAY AND I
06:36:32:00	06:36:34:00	HAVE PRAYING FOR PATIENCE
06:36:34:00	06:36:39:00	BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WHEN I GET
06:36:39:00	06:36:42:00	FRUSTRATED WITH THIS SYSTEM I
06:36:42:00	06:36:46:00	LET THE WRATH BE FELT AND I AM
06:36:46:00	06:36:47:00	REALLY TRYING TO CONTAIN MYSELF
06:36:47:00	06:36:52:00	BUT IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT TO
06:36:52:00	06:36:58:00	BE A GRADUATE ABOUT FROM
06:36:58:00	06:36:59:00	CRUMBLING SCHOOLS, A CRUMBLING
06:36:59:00	06:37:06:00	SCHOOL THEN TO BE A PARENT AND
06:37:06:00	06:37:09:00	CONTINUE TO SEE THE COMPLETE
06:37:09:00	06:37:13:00	AND UTTER DISREGARD FOR BLACK
06:37:13:00	06:37:17:00	AND BROWN STUDENTS AND THEN
06:37:17:00	06:37:20:00	JUXTAPOSE THAT NARRATIVE WITH
06:37:20:00	06:37:21:00	THE WHITE STADIUM CONVERSATION
06:37:21:00	06:37:25:00	BECAUSE WE'RE SAYING HURRY UP
06:37:25:00	06:37:25:00	AND LET'S GO AND TELL THEM THAT
06:37:25:00	06:37:28:00	MADISON PARK KIDS TO HURRY UP
06:37:28:00	06:37:31:00	AND WAIT.
06:37:31:00	06:37:36:00	THAT TO ME IS DIFFICULT TO
06:37:36:00	06:37:39:00	GRAPPLE WITH.
06:37:39:00	06:37:43:00	YES, GO AHEAD.
06:37:43:00	06:37:46:00	TALK ALL YOU WANT ABOUT ME BUT
06:37:46:00	06:37:54:00	AS A BODY WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO
06:37:54:00	06:37:57:00	ACT LIKE WE REALLY CARE ABOUT
06:37:57:00	06:38:01:00	THE PEOPLE WHO PUT US HERE AND
06:38:01:00	06:38:01:00	THEN WHEN WE HAVE AN
06:38:01:00	06:38:04:00	OPPORTUNITY TO FIGHT FOR THEM
06:38:04:00	06:38:08:00	LOOK THE OTHER WAY FISCALLY
06:38:08:00	06:38:12:00	RESPONSIBLE.
06:38:12:00	06:38:12:00	FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE.
06:38:12:00	06:38:14:00	I HAVEN'T EVEN READ THE OTHER
06:38:14:00	06:38:18:00	ONE TO THE RECORD YET.
06:38:18:00	06:38:22:00	NO, NO.
06:38:22:00	06:38:23:00	I WORKED REALLY HARD TO BE IN
06:38:23:00	06:38:26:00	THIS CHAMBER AND I DIE FOR THE
06:38:26:00	06:38:32:00	PEOPLE THAT I SERVE.
06:38:32:00	06:38:35:00	I DO BECAUSE THEY DESERVE THAT
06:38:35:00	06:38:36:00	AND A LOT MORE AND THEY'RE
06:38:36:00	06:38:43:00	TIRED OF WAITING FOR THIS BODY
06:38:43:00	06:38:46:00	TO STAND UP FOR THEM AND FIGHT
06:38:46:00	06:38:50:00	FOR THEIR MONEY.
06:38:50:00	06:38:51:00	AND I THINK THIS IS AN
06:38:51:00	06:38:54:00	OPPORTUNITY FOR US AS A BODY TO
06:38:54:00	06:39:01:00	DO OUR JOB AND SO NO ONE IS
06:39:01:00	06:39:02:00	SAYING THAT THEY CANNOT APPLY
06:39:02:00	06:39:08:00	FOR FUNDING SOURCES OUTSIDE
06:39:08:00	06:39:09:00	OF THE CONSTRUCTION WHICH
06:39:09:00	06:39:11:00	THEY'VE BEEN OPERATING UNDER
06:39:11:00	06:39:12:00	BUT IT HAS BEEN 13 YEARS.
06:39:12:00	06:39:15:00	THOSE KIDS AND THOSE FAMILIES
06:39:15:00	06:39:19:00	DESERVE US TO DO RIGHT BY THEM.
06:39:19:00	06:39:22:00	AND SO I AM NOT ASKING YOU ALL
06:39:22:00	06:39:23:00	TO BE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE.
06:39:23:00	06:39:26:00	I'M ASKING YOU TO BE
06:39:26:00	06:39:30:00	RESPONSIBLE.
06:39:30:00	06:39:31:00	WE DON'T THINK YOU CAN COMPETE
06:39:31:00	06:39:34:00	WITH ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK
06:39:34:00	06:39:34:00	ON THIS MATTER.

06:54:16:00	06:54:19:00	WAS MOVED BY THE LANGUAGE THAT
06:54:19:00	06:54:20:00	THEY SHARED IN THEIR LETTER
06:54:20:00	06:54:23:00	SPECIFICALLY AROUND MAKING SURE
06:54:23:00	06:54:26:00	THAT BLACK AND BROWN BUSINESSES

06:54:28:00	06:54:31:00	CONCERNS REGARDING THE CITY'S
06:54:31:00	06:54:31:00	LACK OF FORMAL COMMITMENT TO
06:54:31:00	06:54:34:00	ENSURING MEANINGFUL INCLUSION
06:54:34:00	06:54:34:00	OF BLACK AND BROWN BUSINESSES

06:54:37:00	06:54:38:00	RETAIL OPPORTUNITIES ASSOCIATED

06:56:15:00	06:56:19:00	ALREADY HIGHLIGHTED AND SO I
06:56:19:00	06:56:19:00	WANT TO BE REALLY CLEAR THAT
06:56:19:00	06:56:23:00	THIS PARTICULAR HEARING ORDER
06:56:23:00	06:56:23:00	IS A PROVISION, YOU KNOW, TO
06:56:23:00	06:56:26:00	PAUSE UNTIL THE CITY
06:56:26:00	06:56:29:00	COUNCIL CAN ALSO VOTE ON THE
06:56:29:00	06:56:33:00	WAY 2026 CAPITAL BUDGET BECAUSE
06:56:33:00	06:56:34:00	THAT IS A VERY INTERESTING
06:56:34:00	06:56:37:00	SITUATION THAT HAS OCCURRED.
06:56:37:00	06:56:38:00	SO I WANT TO START OFF BY
06:56:38:00	06:56:38:00	ACKNOWLEDGING THE STRONG
06:56:38:00	06:56:41:00	SUPPORT FOR RENOVATING WHITE
06:56:41:00	06:56:41:00	STADIUM.
06:56:41:00	06:56:45:00	LET US NOT GET CONFUSED ABOUT
06:56:45:00	06:56:48:00	WHY WE ARE HERE.
06:56:48:00	06:56:49:00	MAKE SURE YOU CAN HEAR
06:56:49:00	06:56:51:00	ME BECAUSE I DO BELIEVE THAT
06:56:51:00	06:56:52:00	EVERYONE HERE BELIEVES THAT
06:56:52:00	06:56:55:00	WHITE STADIUM SHOULD BE
06:56:55:00	06:56:55:00	RENOVATED.
06:56:55:00	06:56:56:00	EVERYONE INCLUDING THE
06:56:56:00	06:56:59:00	THOUSANDS OF EMAILS THAT WE
06:56:59:00	06:57:00:00	HAVE RECEIVED THERE SEEMS TO BE
06:57:00:00	06:57:03:00	A MISCONCEPTION ABOUT WHAT
06:57:03:00	06:57:07:00	WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE.
06:57:07:00	06:57:08:00	I WANT TO BE CLEAR FOR THE
06:57:08:00	06:57:10:00	RECORD THAT WE DO BELIEVE THAT
06:57:10:00	06:57:11:00	WHITE STADIUM AND OUR STUDENTS
06:57:11:00	06:57:15:00	DESERVE TO HAVE HIGH QUALITY
06:57:15:00	06:57:19:00	FACILITIES AND SO I WANT TO
06:57:19:00	06:57:19:00	ACKNOWLEDGE THAT FIRST THE
06:57:19:00	06:57:23:00	RESOLUTION THAT I FILED TODAY
06:57:23:00	06:57:27:00	IS NOT ABOUT SUPPORTING OR
06:57:27:00	06:57:30:00	OPPOSING THE PROJECT ITSELF OR
06:57:30:00	06:57:34:00	WHETHER BOSS NATION SHOULD USE
06:57:34:00	06:57:34:00	SPACE IN A PUBLIC PARK.
06:57:34:00	06:57:38:00	THAT'S ANOTHER CONVERSATION
06:57:38:00	06:57:38:00	THAT'S HAPPENING SOMEWHERE
06:57:38:00	06:57:41:00	OUTSIDE THIS CHAMBER AND I WANT
06:57:41:00	06:57:42:00	TO REMIND MY COLLEAGUES THAT
06:57:42:00	06:57:42:00	THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M TALKING
06:57:42:00	06:57:46:00	ABOUT HERE JUST BECAUSE I FEEL
06:57:46:00	06:57:49:00	LIKE SOMETIMES I NEED TO BREAK
06:57:49:00	06:57:49:00	IT DOWN FOR Y'ALL.
06:57:49:00	06:57:52:00	THIS IS ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT
06:57:52:00	06:57:53:00	WE AS A CITY COUNCIL ARE
06:57:53:00	06:57:57:00	RESPONSE STEWARDS OF OUR
06:57:57:00	06:58:00:00	TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND MAKING
06:58:00:00	06:58:01:00	INFORMED DECISIONS WITH FULL
06:58:01:00	06:58:05:00	TRANSPARENCY.
06:58:05:00	06:58:09:00	NOW I RECOGNIZE THAT SOME OF MY
06:58:09:00	06:58:09:00	COUNCIL COLLEAGUES MAY PREFER
06:58:09:00	06:58:13:00	TO REFER THIS MATTER TO
06:58:13:00	06:58:14:00	COMMITTEE RATHER THAN TAKE A
06:58:14:00	06:58:20:00	VOTE AND I KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO
06:58:20:00	06:58:20:00	THAT BECAUSE I'VE SEEN Y'ALL DO
06:58:20:00	06:58:22:00	IT.
06:58:22:00	06:58:27:00	HOWEVER, I AM GOING TO URGE YOU
06:58:27:00	06:58:33:00	TO TAKE A BOLD STANCE TODAY AT
06:58:33:00	06:58:36:00	OUR NINE HOUR HEARING MANY
06:58:36:00	06:58:37:00	VOICED CONCERNS ABOUT THE LACK
06:58:37:00	06:58:37:00	OF MEANINGFUL COMMUNITY
06:58:37:00	06:58:41:00	ENGAGEMENT AND CITING ABSENCE
06:58:41:00	06:58:42:00	OF ALTERNATIVE PLANS OR REAL
06:58:42:00	06:58:45:00	CHOICES THAT MIGHT NOT HAVE
06:58:45:00	06:58:46:00	BEEN THE CASE FOR EVERYBODY.
06:58:46:00	06:58:46:00	I'M NOT SURE WHAT PRESENTATIONS
06:58:46:00	06:58:49:00	PEOPLE WENT TO BUT IT JUST
06:58:49:00	06:58:50:00	SEEMED LIKE NOT EVERYBODY WAS
06:58:50:00	06:58:50:00	ON THE SAME PAGE IN TERMS
06:58:50:00	06:58:52:00	OF WHAT ENGAGEMENT LOOKED LIKE
06:58:52:00	06:58:56:00	AT THE SAME TIME MANY
06:58:56:00	06:58:57:00	CONSTITUENTS SUPPORT THIS
06:58:57:00	06:59:00:00	PROJECT AND OPPOSED ANY DELAYS
06:59:00:00	06:59:05:00	YET ON BOTH SIDES MANY VOICES
06:59:05:00	06:59:08:00	STILL REMAIN UNHEARD.
06:59:08:00	06:59:09:00	DURING THE HEARING THE CITY
06:59:09:00	06:59:12:00	ACKNOWLEDGED THE IMPORTANCE
06:59:12:00	06:59:12:00	OF SUPPLIER DIVERSITY BUT
06:59:12:00	06:59:15:00	WITHOUT WRITTEN COMMITMENTS AND
06:59:15:00	06:59:19:00	CLEAR PLANS THERE IS NO WAY TO
06:59:19:00	06:59:20:00	HOLD THE ADMINISTRATION OR THIS
06:59:20:00	06:59:24:00	BODY ACCOUNTABLE.
06:59:24:00	06:59:24:00	VERBAL ASSURANCES ARE NOT
06:59:24:00	06:59:27:00	ENOUGH.
06:59:27:00	06:59:28:00	WE NEED ENFORCEABLE COMMITMENTS
06:59:28:00	06:59:31:00	TO ENSURE EQUITY IN THIS
06:59:31:00	06:59:32:00	PROJECT WE'RE ASKING FOR A
06:59:32:00	06:59:35:00	PAUSE AND SO THE CITY
06:59:35:00	06:59:35:00	COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC RECEIVE
06:59:35:00	06:59:39:00	THE FINAL TRANSPORTATION PLANS
06:59:39:00	06:59:40:00	PARKING THE ENVIRONMENTAL
06:59:40:00	06:59:43:00	IMPACT, THE SUPPLIER DIVERSITY
06:59:43:00	06:59:44:00	WHICH I WANT TO KNOW THAT IT
06:59:44:00	06:59:47:00	WAS THE BLACK MAN, THE BLACK
06:59:47:00	06:59:50:00	MEN AND BOYS A COMMISSION THAT
06:59:50:00	06:59:51:00	REALLY TOOK THE CHARGE AROUND
06:59:51:00	06:59:54:00	THE SUPPLIER AND DIVERSITY
06:59:54:00	06:59:55:00	CONVERSATION.
06:59:55:00	06:59:55:00	SO I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
06:59:55:00	06:59:58:00	THAT THEY WERE ON THE FOREFRONT
06:59:58:00	06:59:59:00	OF THIS CONVERSATION AND THEN I
06:59:59:00	07:00:02:00	ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
07:00:02:00	07:00:03:00	THE CITY HAS NOT PRESENTED ANY
07:00:03:00	07:00:06:00	ALTERNATIVE DESIGN PLANS WE
07:00:06:00	07:00:06:00	WENT WITH.
07:00:06:00	07:00:09:00	IT'S LIKE YOU GET WHAT YOU GET
07:00:09:00	07:00:10:00	AND YOU DON'T GET UPSET.
07:00:10:00	07:00:13:00	THAT'S NOT HOW WE DO BUSINESS
07:00:13:00	07:00:13:00	HERE Y'ALL.
07:00:13:00	07:00:14:00	USUALLY WHEN THERE'S AN RFP
07:00:14:00	07:00:17:00	THAT GOES OUT COMMUNITY
07:00:17:00	07:00:17:00	PARTICIPATES IN THE PROCESS.
07:00:17:00	07:00:21:00	THERE IS A PROCESS AND WE ARE
07:00:21:00	07:00:25:00	SETTING THE PRESIDENT'S BEEN
07:00:25:00	07:00:26:00	TALKING ABOUT SETTING THE
07:00:26:00	07:00:27:00	PRESIDENT'S HEAR ALL DAY TODAY
07:00:27:00	07:00:29:00	BUT EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND WE
07:00:29:00	07:00:30:00	KEEP SETTING PRESIDENCIES
07:00:30:00	07:00:33:00	THAT'S CONTINUE TO UNDERMINE
07:00:33:00	07:00:39:00	THE WILL OF THE VOTERS.
07:00:39:00	07:00:40:00	AND SO WITHOUT FINALIZING THESE
07:00:40:00	07:00:43:00	DETAILS IN THESE FINAL
07:00:43:00	07:00:44:00	COMMITMENTS, WE CANNOT UPHOLD
07:00:44:00	07:00:47:00	OURSELVES AND OUR DUTY AS BEING
07:00:47:00	07:00:50:00	FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE STEWARDS
07:00:50:00	07:00:51:00	OF THIS AND WE MUST ENSURE THAT
07:00:51:00	07:00:51:00	WE CONDUCT THE PEOPLE'S
07:00:51:00	07:00:54:00	BUSINESS WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL
07:00:54:00	07:00:58:00	OF TRANSPARENCY AND FINANCIAL
07:00:58:00	07:00:58:00	ACCOUNT ABILITY.
07:00:58:00	07:01:02:00	NOW YOU ALL HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN
07:01:02:00	07:01:02:00	HUNDREDS OF EMAILS ABOUT HOW
07:01:02:00	07:01:06:00	WE'RE UTILIZING TAXPAYER
07:01:06:00	07:01:06:00	DOLLARS.
07:01:06:00	07:01:10:00	WE HAVE BEEN PUT ON BLAST ABOUT
07:01:10:00	07:01:14:00	EVERYTHING FROM INCREASING IN
07:01:14:00	07:01:14:00	PROPERTY TAXES TO THE AMOUNT
07:01:14:00	07:01:18:00	OF MONEY WE'RE SPENDING BUT YET
07:01:18:00	07:01:25:00	HERE WE ARE, HERE WE ARE SAYING
07:01:25:00	07:01:29:00	IT'S OKAY TO SPEND ALMOST $200
07:01:29:00	07:01:31:00	MILLION ON ONE PROJECT
07:01:31:00	07:01:35:00	DIGRESSING HERE.

07:01:47:00	07:01:48:00	MILLION THAT WILL BE ALLOCATED
07:01:48:00	07:01:51:00	TO THIS PROJECT WITHOUT HAVING

07:02:14:00	07:02:17:00	IS THAT WHAT WE WANT OUR
07:02:17:00	07:02:18:00	CONSTITUENTS TO BELIEVE?
07:02:18:00	07:02:19:00	THAT'S HOW WE DO BUSINESS IN
07:02:19:00	07:02:22:00	THIS CHAMBER?
07:02:22:00	07:02:22:00	I DON'T THINK SO.
07:02:22:00	07:02:26:00	I DON'T THINK SO WITHOUT HAVING
07:02:26:00	07:02:29:00	YET DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND
07:02:29:00	07:02:30:00	YOU'RE GOING TO EXPECT US TO
07:02:30:00	07:02:34:00	LIKE JUST GO  NILLY TAKE OUR
07:02:34:00	07:02:34:00	TAKE THIS SITUATION AND JUST
07:02:34:00	07:02:37:00	TAKE IT AT FACE VALUE WITH
07:02:37:00	07:02:38:00	NOTHING IN WRITING AND NO
07:02:38:00	07:02:40:00	COMMITMENTS.
07:02:40:00	07:02:41:00	NOW IS THE TIME TO REASSESS OUR
07:02:41:00	07:02:44:00	APPROACH AND ENSURE THAT WE
07:02:44:00	07:02:45:00	MAKE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE
07:02:45:00	07:02:48:00	DECISIONS RATHER THAN GIVING
07:02:48:00	07:02:48:00	THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS
07:02:48:00	07:02:52:00	COUNCIL CONTINUES TO BE CAPABLE
07:02:52:00	07:02:55:00	OF JUST RUBBISH STAMPING
07:02:55:00	07:02:56:00	PROPOSALS ALONG THE WAY.
07:02:56:00	07:02:59:00	I SAID IT.
07:02:59:00	07:03:00:00	THAT'S RIGHT.
07:03:00:00	07:03:04:00	RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THE CHANCE TO
07:03:04:00	07:03:04:00	HIT PAUSE, ASK FOR CLEAR
07:03:04:00	07:03:08:00	COMMITMENT AND MAKE SURE THAT
07:03:08:00	07:03:08:00	THIS PROJECT IS HANDLED
07:03:08:00	07:03:11:00	RESPONSIBLY.
07:03:11:00	07:03:12:00	THIS IS ABOUT MAKING SMART
07:03:12:00	07:03:15:00	TRANSPARENT CHANNELS PARISH
07:03:15:00	07:03:16:00	DECISIONS THAT WILL BENEFIT OUR
07:03:16:00	07:03:19:00	CITY FOR YEARS TO COME.
07:03:19:00	07:03:19:00	AGAIN, I WANT TO BE CLEAR
07:03:19:00	07:03:22:00	SUPPORTING THIS RESOLUTION DOES
07:03:22:00	07:03:23:00	NOT MEAN OPPOSING THE
07:03:23:00	07:03:27:00	RENOVATION PLAN WHICH IS THE
07:03:27:00	07:03:27:00	NARRATIVE THAT HAS BEEN OUT IN
07:03:27:00	07:03:30:00	THE STREETS.
07:03:30:00	07:03:31:00	IT MEANS MAKING SURE THAT WE AS
07:03:31:00	07:03:34:00	THIS BODY RIGHT IS DOING
07:03:34:00	07:03:38:00	EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO MAKE
07:03:38:00	07:03:39:00	SURE THAT WE ARE OPERATING WITH
07:03:39:00	07:03:41:00	ALL THE FACTS THAT WE HAVE, ALL
07:03:41:00	07:03:45:00	THE PLANS AND ALL THE FINANCIAL
07:03:45:00	07:03:46:00	DETAILS BEFORE MOVING FORWARD.
07:03:46:00	07:03:50:00	AND IF WE'RE SERIOUS ABOUT
07:03:50:00	07:03:53:00	GETTING THINGS RIGHT, THIS IS
07:03:53:00	07:03:54:00	OUR OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT.
07:03:54:00	07:03:57:00	AND I THINK WHAT IS HAPPENING
07:03:57:00	07:04:00:00	IS THAT WE WOULD RATHER
07:04:00:00	07:04:03:00	CONTINUE TO KICK THE CAN DOWN
07:04:03:00	07:04:11:00	YONDER AND I STRUGGLE I HAVE
07:04:11:00	07:04:15:00	BEEN SINCE THIS THIS PARTICULAR
07:04:15:00	07:04:18:00	TERM HAS BEEN VERY INTERESTING
07:04:18:00	07:04:19:00	SINCE I CAME INTO THIS CHAMBER
07:04:19:00	07:04:22:00	AND IT AND IT'S NOT JUST WHITE
07:04:22:00	07:04:25:00	STADIUM, IT'S A BRICK.
07:04:25:00	07:04:26:00	IT IS IT IS THE GANG DATABASE.
07:04:26:00	07:04:29:00	IT IS THE ABOLISHING THE BPA.
07:04:29:00	07:04:33:00	IT IS EVERYTHING THAT WE ARE
07:04:33:00	07:04:39:00	DOING IN WAYS THAT UNDERMINE
07:04:39:00	07:04:46:00	OUR POWER.
07:04:46:00	07:04:48:00	WE ARE JUST LITERALLY SAYING
07:04:48:00	07:04:53:00	HERE'S THE CHECK BUT WHAT ARE
07:04:53:00	07:04:57:00	WE SAYING TO THOSE THAT WE
07:04:57:00	07:04:57:00	SERVE THAT THEIR VOICES DON'T
07:04:57:00	07:04:59:00	MATTER, THAT THEIR CONCERNS GO
07:04:59:00	07:05:03:00	COUNTS?
07:05:03:00	07:05:04:00	I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE
07:05:04:00	07:05:07:00	MOMENT FOR US TO CONTINUE TO DO
07:05:07:00	07:05:08:00	BUSINESS AS USUAL AND EXPECT
07:05:08:00	07:05:11:00	DIFFERENT RESULTS.
07:05:11:00	07:05:11:00	THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT
07:05:11:00	07:05:15:00	POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST
07:05:15:00	07:05:15:00	.
07:05:15:00	07:05:16:00	THERE ARE CONCERNS ABOUT WHO IS
07:05:16:00	07:05:19:00	GOING TO BE LEFT WITH THE TAB
07:05:19:00	07:05:23:00	IF THE SITUATION DOESN'T
07:05:23:00	07:05:23:00	MANIFEST.
07:05:23:00	07:05:26:00	PEOPLE WANT TO GAMBLE BUT THE
07:05:26:00	07:05:30:00	ISSUE STILL REMAINS THAT PEOPLE
07:05:30:00	07:05:34:00	OF COLOR PRIMARILY LOW INCOME
07:05:34:00	07:05:38:00	COMMUNITIES CONTINUE TO BE THE
07:05:38:00	07:05:38:00	AFTERTHOUGHT.
07:05:38:00	07:05:39:00	I DON'T SEE US TRYING TO DO
07:05:39:00	07:05:42:00	THIS AND BOSTON COMMONS BUT I
07:05:42:00	07:05:46:00	CAN COME TO FRANKLIN PARK AND
07:05:46:00	07:05:49:00	JUST SAY WE CAN EXPLOIT IT AS
07:05:49:00	07:05:50:00	WE SEE FIT.
07:05:50:00	07:05:54:00	NO, WE CAN'T DO THAT TO PEOPLE
07:05:54:00	07:05:57:00	AND THEN EXPECT THEM TO TRUST
07:05:57:00	07:05:57:00	US.
07:05:57:00	07:06:01:00	I AM ASKING FOR A PAUSE UNTIL
07:06:01:00	07:06:05:00	WE DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND I
07:06:05:00	07:06:09:00	CAN'T APPROVE OR EVEN FATHOM
07:06:09:00	07:06:13:00	THE IDEA THAT WE'RE GOING TO
07:06:13:00	07:06:16:00	CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD AND WE
07:06:16:00	07:06:19:00	HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THIS YEAR'S
07:06:19:00	07:06:26:00	CAPITAL BUDGET AND WE SPENT
07:06:26:00	07:06:26:00	$110 MILLION ON AN ACCELERATOR
07:06:26:00	07:06:27:00	FUND.
07:06:27:00	07:06:32:00	WE ARE ABOUT TO SPEND $100
07:06:32:00	07:06:36:00	MILLION ON THIS WHITE STADIUM.
07:06:36:00	07:06:37:00	NOW I GREW UP POOR.
07:06:37:00	07:06:39:00	IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT FOR
07:06:39:00	07:06:40:00	ME TO JUST LET MONEY GO LIKE
07:06:40:00	07:06:40:00	THAT.
07:06:40:00	07:06:43:00	IT REALLY IS.
07:06:43:00	07:06:44:00	I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO START
07:06:44:00	07:06:47:00	ASSUMING SOME FISCAL
07:06:47:00	07:06:47:00	RESPONSIBILITY AND YES, I
07:06:47:00	07:06:48:00	FOUGHT FOR MADISON PARK.
07:06:48:00	07:06:48:00	YES, I DID THAT.
07:06:48:00	07:06:51:00	I DID.
07:06:51:00	07:06:55:00	I ASKED THE CITY TO FULFILL ITS
07:06:55:00	07:06:56:00	PROMISE TO MADISON PARK AND NOW
07:06:56:00	07:07:02:00	I'M ASKING THE CITY AND THE
07:07:02:00	07:07:03:00	COUNCIL TO FULFILL ITS PROMISE
07:07:03:00	07:07:06:00	TO THOSE THAT THEY SERVE IF
07:07:06:00	07:07:07:00	THAT IS TO BE FISCALLY
07:07:07:00	07:07:09:00	RESPONSIBLE.
07:07:09:00	07:07:10:00	AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING
07:07:10:00	07:07:13:00	TO HAPPEN BECAUSE YOU KNOW,
07:07:13:00	07:07:14:00	EVEN THOUGH I SAY BE READY, I
07:07:14:00	07:07:15:00	CAME HERE READY BUT I DON'T
07:07:15:00	07:07:17:00	KNOW BECAUSE I ALREADY TOLD YOU
07:07:17:00	07:07:18:00	ALL AND I KNOW I WON'T BE HERE
07:07:18:00	07:07:21:00	UNTIL TOMORROW.
07:07:21:00	07:07:22:00	I WAITED A LONG.
07:07:22:00	07:07:25:00	YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN TALKING
07:07:25:00	07:07:26:00	A LOT ABOUT HOW I FEEL LIKE I
07:07:26:00	07:07:29:00	CAN'T TRUST THIS BODY AND I
07:07:29:00	07:07:29:00	KNOW THAT MAKES PEOPLE FEEL
07:07:29:00	07:07:30:00	UNCOMFORTABLE.
07:07:30:00	07:07:33:00	BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS
07:07:33:00	07:07:33:00	IS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY
07:07:33:00	07:07:34:00	DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND I AM
07:07:34:00	07:07:36:00	GOING TO DO A LITTLE VIDEO
07:07:36:00	07:07:37:00	RECAP SO YOU CAN SEE OF HOW
07:07:37:00	07:07:40:00	MANY TIMES WE UNDERMINED OUR
07:07:40:00	07:07:41:00	ABILITY TO DO OUR JOBS IN THE
07:07:41:00	07:07:44:00	INTERESTS OF JUST BEING A
07:07:44:00	07:07:48:00	RUBBER STAMP AND WE CAN'T KEEP
07:07:48:00	07:07:51:00	DOING BUSINESS THAT WAY AND
07:07:51:00	07:07:52:00	EXPECTING PEOPLE TO BELIEVE
07:07:52:00	07:07:53:00	THAT WE ARE HERE TO DO THEIR
07:07:53:00	07:07:59:00	JOB IF WE DON'T HAVE THE
07:07:59:00	07:08:00:00	POLITICAL COURAGE AND WILL THAT
07:08:00:00	07:08:03:00	IT TAKES TO SPEAK UP.
07:08:03:00	07:08:04:00	LOOK, I'M ALMOST LOSING MY
07:08:04:00	07:08:10:00	VOICE AND IT IS REALLY HARD TO
07:08:10:00	07:08:13:00	FEEL LIKE I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT
07:08:13:00	07:08:16:00	SOMETIMES HAS TO SAY THE THINGS
07:08:16:00	07:08:17:00	THAT PEOPLE FEEL AND I DO THAT
07:08:17:00	07:08:20:00	BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
07:08:20:00	07:08:21:00	TO NOT BE HEARD.
07:08:21:00	07:08:24:00	I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE
07:08:24:00	07:08:27:00	DISREGARDED AND DISMISSED AND
07:08:27:00	07:08:28:00	THAT'S WHY I TAKE THOSE THINGS
07:08:28:00	07:08:31:00	SO PERSONAL BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
07:08:31:00	07:08:31:00	OUR CONSTITUENTS FEEL LIKE
07:08:31:00	07:08:35:00	EVERY SINGLE DAY WHEN WE IGNORE
07:08:35:00	07:08:38:00	THEM.
07:08:38:00	07:08:42:00	AND SO I AM ASKING FOR A PAUSE
07:08:42:00	07:08:46:00	AND FOR A CONSIDERATION FOR US
07:08:46:00	07:08:47:00	TO DO THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS AND
07:08:47:00	07:08:47:00	FOR US TO BE FISCALLY
07:08:47:00	07:08:50:00	RESPONSIBLE AND GET THE ANSWERS
07:08:50:00	07:08:51:00	THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR SO THAT
07:08:51:00	07:08:54:00	WE CAN WE CAN MOVE ON.
07:08:54:00	07:08:58:00	BUT WE NEED TO WE NEED WE NEED
07:08:58:00	07:08:58:00	WE NEED EVERYTHING IN WRITING.
07:08:58:00	07:09:01:00	WE NEED A TIMELINE.
07:09:01:00	07:09:02:00	WE NEED COMMITMENTS AND WE NEED
07:09:02:00	07:09:05:00	THE CITY TO DO A LITTLE BIT
07:09:05:00	07:09:06:00	MORE ON THEIR END TO ASSURE
07:09:06:00	07:09:09:00	THOSE WHO ARE STILL
07:09:09:00	07:09:10:00	UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE WAY
07:09:10:00	07:09:13:00	WE'VE BEEN MOVING.
07:09:13:00	07:09:14:00	AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S I
07:09:14:00	07:09:15:00	DON'T THINK THAT THAT IS
07:09:15:00	07:09:17:00	UNREALISTIC EXPECTATION AND
07:09:17:00	07:09:20:00	REQUEST TO HAVE AND I WILL BE
07:09:20:00	07:09:21:00	SPEAKING AGAIN JUST SO YOU
07:09:21:00	07:09:21:00	KNOW.

07:09:55:00	07:09:59:00	IS SIGNED SO WE HAVE A BETTER

07:10:12:00	07:10:13:00	SO YOU KNOW THIS THIS YOU KNOW
07:10:13:00	07:10:14:00	SOMEBODY SAID TO ME THAT I HAVE
07:10:14:00	07:10:17:00	TO WATCH MYSELF HERE BECAUSE
07:10:17:00	07:10:17:00	THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY AT STAKE
07:10:17:00	07:10:18:00	AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE
07:10:18:00	07:10:21:00	WHO WILL TEND TO LOSE BY
07:10:21:00	07:10:22:00	ME UTILIZING MY MICROPHONE THE
07:10:22:00	07:10:24:00	WAY THAT I AM.
07:10:24:00	07:10:25:00	BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
07:10:25:00	07:10:28:00	I'M NOT ONLY WITH FEAR I'M
07:10:28:00	07:10:28:00	GOING TO KEEP ON SPEAKING TRUTH
07:10:28:00	07:10:29:00	TO POWER BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I
07:10:29:00	07:10:32:00	WAS BORN TO DO.
07:10:32:00	07:10:36:00	YEAH, THERE IS AN ACCELERATE A
07:10:36:00	07:10:36:00	TIMELINE BECAUSE THERE IS A
07:10:36:00	07:10:39:00	GOAL TO MAKE SURE THAT WAY
07:10:39:00	07:10:42:00	STADIUM IS READY FOR THE 2026
07:10:42:00	07:10:46:00	SOCCER TOURNAMENT I BELIEVE
07:10:46:00	07:10:50:00	RIGHT SO BECAUSE THERE IS THAT
07:10:50:00	07:10:54:00	DESIRE TO HURRY UP I THINK THE
07:10:54:00	07:10:55:00	ADMINISTRATION WOULD BE
07:10:55:00	07:10:58:00	COMPLETELY ADVERSE TO A JUNE
07:10:58:00	07:10:58:00	DELAY.
07:10:58:00	07:11:02:00	BUT I'M CURIOUS THE BUDGET
07:11:02:00	07:11:02:00	COMES OUT IN APRIL.
07:11:02:00	07:11:04:00	I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AT THE VERY
07:11:04:00	07:11:06:00	LEAST SEE THE NUMBERS AND WHAT
07:11:06:00	07:11:07:00	WE'RE WORKING WITH BEFORE WE
07:11:07:00	07:11:12:00	START PUTTING ASIDE $50 MILLION
07:11:12:00	07:11:13:00	FOR A PROJECT THAT IS STILL
07:11:13:00	07:11:17:00	RIGHT NOW LIKE THERE EVEN IN
07:11:17:00	07:11:17:00	THE LAWSUIT LIKE WE STILL DON'T
07:11:17:00	07:11:20:00	EVEN KNOW IF WE SHOULD EVEN BE
07:11:20:00	07:11:21:00	MOVING IN THIS DIRECTION.
07:11:21:00	07:11:24:00	SO I THINK THAT THERE'S STILL A
07:11:24:00	07:11:24:00	LOT OF UNCERTAINTY.
07:11:24:00	07:11:25:00	SO I THINK THAT THERE'S STILL I
07:11:25:00	07:11:28:00	THINK PAUSING FOR ME IS LIKE I
07:11:28:00	07:11:31:00	NEED THE TRANSPORTATION, THE
07:11:31:00	07:11:32:00	ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, THE
07:11:32:00	07:11:35:00	PARKING AND THE SUPPLIER
07:11:35:00	07:11:36:00	DIVERSITY AT LEAST SOME
07:11:36:00	07:11:39:00	COMMITMENTS AND SOME
07:11:39:00	07:11:39:00	UNDERSTANDING AND AN
07:11:39:00	07:11:40:00	ALTERNATIVE DESIGN PLAN IS THAT
07:11:40:00	07:11:44:00	IT'S COMPLETELY PUBLIC THAT IS
07:11:44:00	07:11:47:00	NOT PRIVATE.
07:11:47:00	07:11:48:00	IF THEY CAN DO THAT, IF THEY
07:11:48:00	07:11:50:00	CAN DO THAT BY THE END OF MARCH
07:11:50:00	07:11:51:00	, YOU KNOW, OR FEBRUARY BUT
07:11:51:00	07:11:54:00	THEY CAN'T JUST TAKE MONEY
07:11:54:00	07:11:55:00	WITHOUT GIVING US SOMETHING TO
07:11:55:00	07:11:55:00	WORK WITH.
07:11:55:00	07:11:59:00	I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A
07:11:59:00	07:12:02:00	PAUSE FOR US TO BE ABLE TO MAKE
07:12:02:00	07:12:02:00	MORE INFORMED DECISIONS.
07:12:02:00	07:12:06:00	BUT YEAH, I THINK YOU KNOW,
07:12:06:00	07:12:06:00	ULTIMATELY I THINK THE BUDGET
07:12:06:00	07:12:07:00	IS A PART OF THAT.
07:12:07:00	07:12:09:00	I THINK THAT WE SHOULD CONSIDER
07:12:09:00	07:12:10:00	I'M HOPING BEFORE I'M OPEN FOR
07:12:10:00	07:12:13:00	DISCUSSION ON THAT YOU KNOW,
07:12:13:00	07:12:13:00	GIVEN THAT THE PENDING BUDGET
07:12:13:00	07:12:14:00	DELIBERATIONS AND THE LACK
07:12:14:00	07:12:16:00	OF FINANCE YOU KNOW, PARALYZED
07:12:16:00	07:12:17:00	PUBLIC FUNDING PLAN, IT'S
07:12:17:00	07:12:20:00	ESSENTIAL THAT ALL MAJOR
07:12:20:00	07:12:20:00	FINANCIAL DECISIONS REGARDING
07:12:20:00	07:12:23:00	STADIUM REMAIN ON HOLD UNTIL
07:12:23:00	07:12:24:00	THE COUNCIL HAS HAD AN
07:12:24:00	07:12:27:00	OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW AND VOTE
07:12:27:00	07:12:31:00	ON THE LOOK THE 2026 BUDGET.
07:12:31:00	07:12:35:00	YEAH I THINK SO.
07:12:35:00	07:12:36:00	DO THE CHAIR COUNCILOR FLYNN IF
07:12:36:00	07:12:39:00	YOU'D LIKE TO RESPOND YOU MAY.
07:12:39:00	07:12:39:00	THANK YOU.
07:12:39:00	07:12:40:00	THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
07:12:40:00	07:12:43:00	AND THANK YOU TO COUNCILMEMBER
07:12:43:00	07:12:43:00	HERE FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION.
07:12:43:00	07:12:44:00	I THINK THE ANSWER SHE PROVIDED
07:12:44:00	07:12:47:00	IS IS IS A GOOD ANSWER.
07:12:47:00	07:12:50:00	IT'S A PAUSE.
07:12:50:00	07:12:51:00	IT'S NOT A COMPLETE STOP OF THE
07:12:51:00	07:12:51:00	PROGRAM.
07:12:51:00	07:12:54:00	I THINK GETTING MORE FINANCIAL
07:12:54:00	07:12:58:00	DATA BASED ON THE UPCOMING
07:12:58:00	07:13:01:00	BUDGET AND SEE HOW IT IMPACTS
07:13:01:00	07:13:02:00	CONSTRUCTION AND THIS PROJECT
07:13:02:00	07:13:05:00	AND OTHER PROJECTS.
07:13:05:00	07:13:06:00	I THINK IT'S I THINK THAT MAKES
07:13:06:00	07:13:09:00	SENSE IN MY OPINION.
07:13:09:00	07:13:10:00	I THINK THE MORE INFORMATION WE
07:13:10:00	07:13:13:00	HAVE TO MAKE A BETTER DECISION
07:13:13:00	07:13:18:00	IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD PURSUE.
07:13:18:00	07:13:23:00	I, I WAS ALSO HERE AND
07:13:23:00	07:13:24:00	COUNCILOR MEJIA MENTIONED IT

07:13:27:00	07:13:27:00	LISTENED CLOSELY TO THE
07:13:27:00	07:13:28:00	ADMINISTRATION BUT WE ALSO
07:13:28:00	07:13:30:00	LISTENED CLOSELY TO IMPACTED
07:13:30:00	07:13:34:00	RESIDENTS AND NEIGHBORS AND
07:13:34:00	07:13:38:00	CITY IN BOSTON RESIDENTS MANY
07:13:38:00	07:13:38:00	SUPPORTED IT.
07:13:38:00	07:13:41:00	MANY THEY ASKED FOR US TO POSIT
07:13:41:00	07:13:47:00	BASED ON VARIOUS VARIOUS ISSUES
07:13:47:00	07:13:48:00	BUT THE NINE HOUR MEETING WHAT
07:13:48:00	07:13:51:00	WAS CLEAR ABOUT IT IN MY
07:13:51:00	07:13:52:00	OPINION WERE THERE WAS SO MANY
07:13:52:00	07:13:57:00	UNANSWERED QUESTIONS AND GOOD
07:13:57:00	07:13:58:00	QUESTIONS AND NOTHING AGAINST
07:13:58:00	07:14:01:00	THE ADMINISTRATION BUT THEY
07:14:01:00	07:14:01:00	JUST COULDN'T BE ANSWERED AT
07:14:01:00	07:14:05:00	THIS TIME.
07:14:05:00	07:14:05:00	THERE NEEDED TO BE MORE
07:14:05:00	07:14:06:00	RESOURCES THAN THERE NEEDED TO
07:14:06:00	07:14:09:00	BE MORE DISCUSSION AND THERE
07:14:09:00	07:14:10:00	NEEDED TO BE MORE COMMUNITY
07:14:10:00	07:14:13:00	INVOLVEMENT AND CLEARLY THAT'S
07:14:13:00	07:14:13:00	STILL ONGOING.
07:14:13:00	07:14:17:00	RESIDENTS STILL HAVE CONCERNS.
07:14:17:00	07:14:20:00	DR. MCGUIRE, WHO'S 92 YEARS
07:14:20:00	07:14:26:00	OLD, THE 93 SHE WAS AT THAT

07:14:26:00	07:14:29:00	SHE'S HERE WITH US TODAY.
07:14:29:00	07:14:30:00	SHE WOULDN'T BE HERE IF IT
07:14:30:00	07:14:33:00	WASN'T IMPORTANT TO HER.
07:14:33:00	07:14:36:00	SHE'S BEEN IN THIS CITY A LONG
07:14:36:00	07:14:37:00	TIME AND SHE'S PROBABLY THE
07:14:37:00	07:14:40:00	MOST STRONGEST ADVOCATE FOR
07:14:40:00	07:14:44:00	FRANKLIN PARK AND SOMEONE
07:14:44:00	07:14:45:00	SOMEONE WE RESPECT FOR HER WORK

07:14:58:00	07:15:02:00	NEIGHBORS DESERVE ANSWERS TO
07:15:02:00	07:15:03:00	SIMPLE QUESTIONS.
07:15:03:00	07:15:06:00	I THINK THEY DO.
07:15:06:00	07:15:13:00	I THINK THEY EARNED IT.
07:15:13:00	07:15:16:00	I THINK WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THE
07:15:16:00	07:15:20:00	COMMUNITY PROCESS.
07:15:20:00	07:15:21:00	I THINK WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS
07:15:21:00	07:15:24:00	ENSURING RESIDENTS FEEL LIKE
07:15:24:00	07:15:25:00	THEY'VE BEEN HEARD AND

07:15:28:00	07:15:31:00	RIGHT NOW.
07:15:31:00	07:15:31:00	MAYBE WE'LL GET THERE.
07:15:31:00	07:15:35:00	I DON'T KNOW.
07:15:35:00	07:15:35:00	BUT THE PROPOSAL

07:15:36:00	07:15:38:00	MAKES SENSE.
07:15:38:00	07:15:42:00	DO WE WANT TO BE AS A CITY
07:15:42:00	07:15:43:00	COUNCIL BODY THAT'S BASICALLY A
07:15:43:00	07:15:46:00	RUBBER STAMP.
07:15:46:00	07:15:49:00	THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN DO OR
07:15:49:00	07:15:52:00	DO WE WANT TO ASK DIFFICULT
07:15:52:00	07:15:56:00	QUESTIONS, BE FISCALLY
07:15:56:00	07:16:00:00	RESPONSIBLE AND PAY A POLITICAL

07:16:19:00	07:16:20:00	COME IN HERE AND DON'T TAKE THE
07:16:20:00	07:16:23:00	JOB SERIOUSLY AND DON'T SHOW UP

07:16:24:00	07:16:25:00	QUESTIONS AND JUST SAY I'M
07:16:25:00	07:16:27:00	GOING TO VOTE FOR IT BASED ON

07:19:37:00	07:19:37:00	THE COMMUNITY.
07:19:37:00	07:19:40:00	WE HAVE HEARD SOME THINGS AND
07:19:40:00	07:19:44:00	YOU KNOW WHETHER IT'S WHERE THE
07:19:44:00	07:19:48:00	INFORMATION COMES FROM A LOT
07:19:48:00	07:19:48:00	OF PEOPLE ARE STILL GETTING
07:19:48:00	07:19:49:00	MISINFORMATION.
07:19:49:00	07:19:52:00	I THINK ABOUT THIS PROJECT JUST
07:19:52:00	07:19:52:00	LAST NIGHT IN A COMMUNITY
07:19:52:00	07:19:56:00	MEETING A LONG TERM COMMUNITY
07:19:56:00	07:19:59:00	ADVOCATE TOLD ME HE OPPOSED THE
07:19:59:00	07:20:00:00	PROJECT BECAUSE WE WERE HANDING
07:20:00:00	07:20:02:00	OVER THE STADIUM TO THE SOCCER
07:20:02:00	07:20:03:00	TEAM.
07:20:03:00	07:20:04:00	I JUST I THINK I'VE READ THE
07:20:04:00	07:20:06:00	LEASE.
07:20:06:00	07:20:07:00	IT'S JUST NOT TRUE THAT THE
07:20:07:00	07:20:11:00	CITY IS THE OWNER AND
07:20:11:00	07:20:11:00	CONTROLLER OF THE STADIUM
07:20:11:00	07:20:14:00	SOCCER TEAM WILL HAVE THE
07:20:14:00	07:20:15:00	ABILITY TO PLAY 20 GAMES IN THE
07:20:15:00	07:20:18:00	STADIUM AND IN EXCHANGE FOR
07:20:18:00	07:20:22:00	THAT WE WILL GET A HUGE
07:20:22:00	07:20:22:00	INVESTMENT THAT'LL BE IN THE
07:20:22:00	07:20:26:00	STADIUM FOR KIDS AND A PLAN TO
07:20:26:00	07:20:29:00	KEEP AND MAINTAIN THAT STADIUM.
07:20:29:00	07:20:30:00	IT'S $400,000 A YEAR ACCORDING
07:20:30:00	07:20:33:00	TO LEASE IN RENT $500,000 A
07:20:33:00	07:20:34:00	YEAR FOR A COMMUNITY PLAN A
07:20:34:00	07:20:37:00	DOLLAR TICKET FOR THE
07:20:37:00	07:20:38:00	COMMUNITY, ADDITIONAL MONEY IN
07:20:38:00	07:20:41:00	THE REVENUE THAT THE TEAM WILL
07:20:41:00	07:20:41:00	DEVELOP FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
07:20:41:00	07:20:45:00	UM THIS YOU KNOW THIS IS I
07:20:45:00	07:20:48:00	AGREE THAT THE NUMBERS SEEM
07:20:48:00	07:20:52:00	VERY LARGE AND THAT'S WHY I
07:20:52:00	07:20:53:00	THINK THIS HAS NEVER ACTUALLY
07:20:53:00	07:20:56:00	COME TO FRUITION THIS PROJECT
07:20:56:00	07:20:57:00	BECAUSE EVERY TIME ANYONE LOOKS
07:20:57:00	07:20:58:00	AT IT THEY SAY OH MY GOD, YOU
07:20:58:00	07:21:03:00	KNOW $20 MILLION BACK IN THE
07:21:03:00	07:21:03:00	EIGHTIES $40 MILLION THAT'S WAY
07:21:03:00	07:21:04:00	TOO MUCH.
07:21:04:00	07:21:06:00	WE HEARD FROM THE
07:21:06:00	07:21:07:00	ADMINISTRATION AT THE HEARING
07:21:07:00	07:21:08:00	THAT TO DO THE PROJECT BY
07:21:08:00	07:21:10:00	THEMSELVES THEY ESTIMATE IT
07:21:10:00	07:21:13:00	WOULD COST OVER $100 MILLION.
07:21:13:00	07:21:14:00	WE HAVE WE HAVE A POOL QUALITY
07:21:14:00	07:21:17:00	POOL THAT COSTS $35 MILLION.
07:21:17:00	07:21:20:00	YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT
07:21:20:00	07:21:23:00	MADISON PARK WHICH IS $800
07:21:23:00	07:21:23:00	MILLION.
07:21:23:00	07:21:26:00	YOU KNOW, IT'S WHAT WE'RE LEFT
07:21:26:00	07:21:27:00	WITH IS THE POSSIBILITY IF WE
07:21:27:00	07:21:31:00	VOTE IF WE PAUSE THIS PROJECT
07:21:31:00	07:21:34:00	THAT THE TEAM WILL GO SOMEWHERE
07:21:34:00	07:21:35:00	ELSE, THAT WE WILL NOT BE ABLE
07:21:35:00	07:21:38:00	TO GO FUND THIS PROJECT ON OUR
07:21:38:00	07:21:39:00	OWN AND WE'LL STILL HAVE A
07:21:39:00	07:21:42:00	STADIUM THAT IS LEFT TO DECAY
07:21:42:00	07:21:46:00	AND WILL WILL NOT BE A RESOURCE
07:21:46:00	07:21:46:00	FOR OUR KIDS.
07:21:46:00	07:21:49:00	I JUST IN TERMS OF YOU KNOW
07:21:49:00	07:21:50:00	WE'VE HEARD ABOUT ALTERNATIVE
07:21:50:00	07:21:53:00	PLANS I WILL SAY IN BEING IN
07:21:53:00	07:21:57:00	ALL THESE MEETINGS WITH THE
07:21:57:00	07:21:57:00	CITY AND THE TEAM THAT HAVE
07:21:57:00	07:21:58:00	REVISED THE PLAN I UNDERSTAND
07:21:58:00	07:22:00:00	IT'S NOT THE ALTERNATIVE THAT
07:22:00:00	07:22:01:00	THE OPPONENTS WANT BUT THE THE
07:22:01:00	07:22:04:00	STADIUM HAS BEEN REVISED
07:22:04:00	07:22:05:00	SEVERAL TIMES IN RESPONSE TO
07:22:05:00	07:22:08:00	COMMUNITY FEEDBACK IN ADDITION
07:22:08:00	07:22:11:00	TERMS OF TRAFFIC PLANS, I DO
07:22:11:00	07:22:12:00	THINK THAT'S A MAJOR ISSUE IN
07:22:12:00	07:22:15:00	MY DISTRICT ON WALNUT AV RIGHT
07:22:15:00	07:22:16:00	ALONG THE PARK WE'VE HAD MANY
07:22:16:00	07:22:19:00	MEETINGS THE TEAM AND THE CITY
07:22:19:00	07:22:20:00	HAVE COME UP WITH A PLAN THAT
07:22:20:00	07:22:24:00	THE NEIGHBORS SUPPORT YOU KNOW
07:22:24:00	07:22:24:00	PREDOMINANTLY SUPPORT FOR THE
07:22:24:00	07:22:27:00	MAJORITY SUPPORT BECAUSE
07:22:27:00	07:22:28:00	THEY'RE GOING TO CLOSE THE
07:22:28:00	07:22:31:00	STREET, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE
07:22:31:00	07:22:32:00	NEIGHBORHOOD PARKING FOR PEOPLE
07:22:32:00	07:22:32:00	WHO LIVE THERE.
07:22:32:00	07:22:33:00	THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE ONLY GOING
07:22:33:00	07:22:35:00	TO ALLOW SHUTTLE BUSSES TO COME
07:22:35:00	07:22:36:00	IN DURING THE GAMES.
07:22:36:00	07:22:39:00	IT'S GOING TO REDUCE TRAFFIC IN
07:22:39:00	07:22:39:00	THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
07:22:39:00	07:22:43:00	UH, AND THERE IS GOING TO BE AN
07:22:43:00	07:22:43:00	ADVISORY COUNCIL WE'RE GOING TO
07:22:43:00	07:22:46:00	CONTINUE TO WORK ON THESE
07:22:46:00	07:22:47:00	ISSUES EVERY DAY FOR OUR
07:22:47:00	07:22:49:00	COMMUNITY.
07:22:49:00	07:22:50:00	ANOTHER THING WE'VE HEARD ABOUT
07:22:50:00	07:22:53:00	COMMUNITY PROCESS AND HOW
07:22:53:00	07:22:54:00	PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY HAVEN'T
07:22:54:00	07:22:55:00	BEEN HEARD AND THERE HASN'T
07:22:55:00	07:22:57:00	BEEN A COMMUNITY PROCESS.
07:22:57:00	07:22:58:00	I'VE BEEN IN A LOT OF MEETINGS,
07:22:58:00	07:23:01:00	THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF PROCESS.
07:23:01:00	07:23:05:00	I HOPE AT SOME POINT WE CAN GET
07:23:05:00	07:23:10:00	TO A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE I FEEL
07:23:10:00	07:23:10:00	ARE OKAY WITH THE COMMUNITY
07:23:10:00	07:23:13:00	PROCESS WHERE THEY DON'T AGREE
07:23:13:00	07:23:13:00	WITH THE OUTCOME.
07:23:13:00	07:23:14:00	I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WILL EVER
07:23:14:00	07:23:17:00	HAPPEN IN ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY.
07:23:17:00	07:23:18:00	I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S EVER
07:23:18:00	07:23:18:00	HAPPENED.
07:23:18:00	07:23:21:00	FOR EXAMPLE, THERE WAS A PLACE
07:23:21:00	07:23:21:00	CALLED FLAT CITY PARK IN
07:23:21:00	07:23:25:00	JAMAICA PLAIN AND THERE WAS A
07:23:25:00	07:23:28:00	COMMUNITY PROCESS AND SOME
07:23:28:00	07:23:29:00	PEOPLE REALLY LIKED IT AND
07:23:29:00	07:23:32:00	THOSE PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY SOME
07:23:32:00	07:23:32:00	OF THE NAME PLAINTIFFS IN THE
07:23:32:00	07:23:36:00	LAWSUIT AND THEY LIKED IT
07:23:36:00	07:23:37:00	BECAUSE THEY GOT A DOG PARK
07:23:37:00	07:23:39:00	THAT WE NEED IN JAMAICA PLAIN
07:23:39:00	07:23:40:00	RIGHT NOW THAT PARK IS BEING
07:23:40:00	07:23:40:00	TORN UP.
07:23:40:00	07:23:43:00	THERE'S A DOG PARK GOING IN
07:23:43:00	07:23:43:00	SOMETHING WE NEED PEOPLE WHO
07:23:43:00	07:23:46:00	DIDN'T LIKE IT OR THE ABUTTERS
07:23:46:00	07:23:47:00	THEY DIDN'T WANT A DOG PARK IN
07:23:47:00	07:23:48:00	FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE BUT WE
07:23:48:00	07:23:51:00	NEED TO TO PROVIDE THE
07:23:51:00	07:23:51:00	FACILITIES FOR OUR COMMUNITY
07:23:51:00	07:23:54:00	THAT WE NEED.
07:23:54:00	07:23:54:00	OKAY.
07:23:54:00	07:23:55:00	THE ABUTTERS DIDN'T LIKE IT.
07:23:55:00	07:23:58:00	I ADVOCATED FOR THE DOG PARK
07:23:58:00	07:24:01:00	AND YOU KNOW MY PREDECESSOR
07:24:01:00	07:24:02:00	ADVOCATED FOR THE DOG PARK OVER
07:24:02:00	07:24:02:00	THE ABUTTERS BECAUSE IT'S
07:24:02:00	07:24:06:00	SOMETHING THAT WE NEEDED FOR
07:24:06:00	07:24:07:00	OUR DOGS SO THEY COULD RUN AND
07:24:07:00	07:24:09:00	PLAY AND HAVE A SPACE.
07:24:09:00	07:24:14:00	I WANT US TO DO TO TO PROVIDE
07:24:14:00	07:24:17:00	RESOURCES FOR OUR KIDS SO THEY

07:24:21:00	07:24:22:00	HIGH AND IT'S UP TO US TO MAKE

07:25:40:00	07:25:43:00	PERSONAL LEVEL BUT SINCE DAY

07:25:53:00	07:25:53:00	PRIORITY.

07:26:02:00	07:26:02:00	OF THIS.
07:26:02:00	07:26:04:00	I THINK THERE'S A MISSING PIECE

07:26:35:00	07:26:38:00	ART FACILITY THAT THEY CAN THAT
07:26:38:00	07:26:38:00	THEY CAN ENJOY.
07:26:38:00	07:26:42:00	SO I WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING
07:26:42:00	07:26:42:00	THIS RESOLUTION.

07:26:50:00	07:26:52:00	THAT'S MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.
07:26:52:00	07:26:56:00	I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S
07:26:56:00	07:26:56:00	QUESTIONS STILL ABOUT TRAFFIC.
07:26:56:00	07:26:59:00	THERE ARE STILL QUESTIONS ABOUT
07:26:59:00	07:26:59:00	PARKING.

07:28:54:00	07:28:57:00	I DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE.
07:28:57:00	07:28:58:00	I'VE LEARNED TO JUST ACCEPT THE
07:28:58:00	07:29:01:00	THINGS THAT I CANNOT CHANGE SO
07:29:01:00	07:29:02:00	I'M OKAY WITH IT AND I'M NOT
07:29:02:00	07:29:03:00	GOING TO BE MAD.

07:29:19:00	07:29:20:00	MY DAUGHTER'S AN ATHLETE.
07:29:20:00	07:29:23:00	OH.
07:29:23:00	07:29:24:00	I STARTED OFF MY CAREER IN THE
07:29:24:00	07:29:27:00	YOUTH DEVELOPMENT SPACE.
07:29:27:00	07:29:28:00	I'VE DEDICATED MY ENTIRE CAREER
07:29:28:00	07:29:31:00	TO UPLIFTING THE VOICES
07:29:31:00	07:29:31:00	OF YOUNG PEOPLE.
07:29:31:00	07:29:32:00	IN FACT, TODAY I RECEIVED CALLS
07:29:32:00	07:29:36:00	FROM YOUNG PEOPLE URGING ME TO
07:29:36:00	07:29:44:00	SUPPORT AND TO STAND WITH
07:29:44:00	07:29:44:00	STUDENTS FIRST.
07:29:44:00	07:29:47:00	NO ONE ASKED THEM WHAT THEY
07:29:47:00	07:29:47:00	THOUGHT.
07:29:47:00	07:29:50:00	YOU KNOW, BECAUSE LIKE
07:29:50:00	07:29:54:00	EVERYBODY ELSE, ESPECIALLY IF
07:29:54:00	07:29:55:00	YOU'RE A PERSON, IF YOU'RE
07:29:55:00	07:29:58:00	MARGINALIZED AND CHASTISED FOR
07:29:58:00	07:29:59:00	SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER, YOU'LL
07:29:59:00	07:30:01:00	NEVER GET INVITED BACK TO
07:30:01:00	07:30:05:00	SPACES AND PLACES AND SO I
07:30:05:00	07:30:06:00	THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO
07:30:06:00	07:30:09:00	BE MINDFUL THAT THIS PARTICULAR
07:30:09:00	07:30:10:00	RESOLUTION BECAUSE EVERYBODY
07:30:10:00	07:30:13:00	KEEPS TRYING TO SWITCH UP WHAT
07:30:13:00	07:30:14:00	IT IS THAT I'M ASKING FOR AND
07:30:14:00	07:30:16:00	FOR THE RECORD I'M GOING TO
07:30:16:00	07:30:19:00	REMIND EVERYBODY EVERYBODY
07:30:19:00	07:30:20:00	WANTS WHITE STADIUM TO BE
07:30:20:00	07:30:23:00	RENOVATED.
07:30:23:00	07:30:24:00	EVERYBODY BELIEVES THAT BLACK
07:30:24:00	07:30:27:00	AND BROWN CHILDREN DESERVE TO
07:30:27:00	07:30:31:00	HAVE QUALITY FACILITY EASE.
07:30:31:00	07:30:31:00	WE'RE ALL IN AGREEMENT.
07:30:31:00	07:30:34:00	I THINK THE PROBLEM THAT WE'RE
07:30:34:00	07:30:38:00	HAVING HERE AND WHAT I'M HERE
07:30:38:00	07:30:41:00	TO DELIBERATE ON IS THAT THERE
07:30:41:00	07:30:45:00	SEEMS TO BE A BIT OF HYPOCRISY
07:30:45:00	07:30:49:00	AROUND FINANCES HERE BECAUSE
07:30:49:00	07:30:53:00	AND THE MADISON PROJECT MADISON
07:30:53:00	07:30:54:00	PARK Y'ALL WERE ALL LIKE OH WE
07:30:54:00	07:30:57:00	GOT TO BE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE
07:30:57:00	07:30:58:00	AND I DON'T KNOW BUT NOW WE'RE
07:30:58:00	07:31:01:00	TALKING ABOUT THIS PROJECT AND
07:31:01:00	07:31:05:00	WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT LANGUAGE
07:31:05:00	07:31:05:00	AND WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT
07:31:05:00	07:31:09:00	RHETORIC.
07:31:09:00	07:31:10:00	WHERE DID THAT GO ALSO?
07:31:10:00	07:31:12:00	SO IT'S DIFFERENT STROKES FOR
07:31:12:00	07:31:16:00	DIFFERENT FOLKS RIGHT?
07:31:16:00	07:31:18:00	WE'RE GOING TO PLOW THROUGH THE
07:31:18:00	07:31:26:00	HOOD AND BUILD THE STADIUM THAT
07:31:26:00	07:31:29:00	ALLOWS OUR KIDS TO PLAY IN IT
07:31:29:00	07:31:30:00	BUT THEN AT THE SAME TIME ALLOW
07:31:30:00	07:31:33:00	IT TO BECOME AN ENTERTAINMENT
07:31:33:00	07:31:37:00	SPACE.
07:31:37:00	07:31:37:00	LET'S REALLY THINK ABOUT
07:31:37:00	07:31:40:00	GENTRIFICATION HERE.
07:31:40:00	07:31:41:00	LET'S REALLY THINK ABOUT CHUCK
07:31:41:00	07:31:44:00	TURNER.
07:31:44:00	07:31:45:00	LET'S REALLY THINK ABOUT THOSE
07:31:45:00	07:31:48:00	FOLKS WHO CAME BEFORE US TRYING
07:31:48:00	07:31:51:00	TO REMAIN HERE.
07:31:51:00	07:31:55:00	I DON'T GOLF, I DON'T PLAY
07:31:55:00	07:31:55:00	SOCCER.
07:31:55:00	07:31:59:00	THERE'S A PRIVILEGE
07:31:59:00	07:31:59:00	CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE HAVING
07:31:59:00	07:32:00:00	RIGHT HERE IN THE CITY
07:32:00:00	07:32:03:00	OF BOSTON.
07:32:03:00	07:32:04:00	THIS IS ABOUT CLASS AND IT'S
07:32:04:00	07:32:07:00	ABOUT PRIVILEGE.
07:32:07:00	07:32:08:00	YEAH, I'M GOING TO SAY IT.
07:32:08:00	07:32:10:00	I'M GOING TO SAY IT.
07:32:10:00	07:32:14:00	THIS SITUATION AND WHAT YOU ARE
07:32:14:00	07:32:18:00	DOING SO PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE
07:32:18:00	07:32:25:00	ROXBURY, MATTAPAN, DORCHESTER
07:32:25:00	07:32:29:00	LOW INCOME BLACK AND BROWN
07:32:29:00	07:32:33:00	PEOPLE AND I'M GOING TO SAY IT
07:32:33:00	07:32:33:00	BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE SAID
07:32:33:00	07:32:39:00	Y'ALL ARE DECIDING THAT MOVING
07:32:39:00	07:32:46:00	FORWARD WITH A WHITE STADIUM
07:32:46:00	07:32:50:00	SUPPORTING A WOMEN'S SOCCER
07:32:50:00	07:32:55:00	SITUATION IN A BLACK COMMUNITY
07:32:55:00	07:32:58:00	IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN
07:32:58:00	07:33:02:00	SUPPORTING MADISON PARK LIKE
07:33:02:00	07:33:03:00	Y'ALL GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE
07:33:03:00	07:33:05:00	RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT ONE.
07:33:05:00	07:33:07:00	Y'ALL ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE
07:33:07:00	07:33:08:00	RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT ONE AND
07:33:08:00	07:33:13:00	YES, WELL PLEASE PLEASE NO, NO,
07:33:13:00	07:33:13:00	NO.
07:33:13:00	07:33:14:00	THE I'M HERE MY DRINKING FROM
07:33:14:00	07:33:16:00	NO, BUT HERE'S THE DEAL.
07:33:16:00	07:33:16:00	HERE'S THE DEAL.
07:33:16:00	07:33:16:00	RIGHT?
07:33:16:00	07:33:17:00	BECAUSE I KNOW SOME FOLKS GET
07:33:17:00	07:33:20:00	REAL FUNNY WHEN I START TALKING
07:33:20:00	07:33:23:00	ABOUT RACE BUT I GOT TO TELL
07:33:23:00	07:33:24:00	ABOUT RACE AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT
07:33:24:00	07:33:25:00	CLASS AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT
07:33:25:00	07:33:26:00	PRIVILEGE.
07:33:26:00	07:33:27:00	ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE AT PLAY
07:33:27:00	07:33:31:00	RIGHT NOW AND THE REASON WHY I
07:33:31:00	07:33:32:00	CAN SAY THOSE THINGS WITHOUT
07:33:32:00	07:33:35:00	FEAR IS BECAUSE I AND I'VE SAID
07:33:35:00	07:33:37:00	IT A HUNDRED TIMES I DO THIS
07:33:37:00	07:33:41:00	BECAUSE I WANT TO NOT BECAUSE I
07:33:41:00	07:33:42:00	HAVE TO AND I DON'T NEED THE
07:33:42:00	07:33:45:00	TITLE TO FIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE
07:33:45:00	07:33:49:00	THAT I SERVE BECAUSE THE ONLY
07:33:49:00	07:33:49:00	PERSON THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE TO
07:33:49:00	07:33:53:00	AND ACCOUNTABLE TO IS THE MAN
07:33:53:00	07:33:53:00	UP ABOVE.
07:33:53:00	07:33:53:00	THAT'S IT.
07:33:53:00	07:33:56:00	THAT'S IT.
07:33:56:00	07:33:57:00	SO I CAN I CAN SPEAK MY MIND.
07:33:57:00	07:34:00:00	I CAN SPEAK MY TRUTH.
07:34:00:00	07:34:01:00	I CAN DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS
07:34:01:00	07:34:07:00	BECAUSE I FEAR NOTHING AND THAT
07:34:07:00	07:34:08:00	MUST BE THE MOST DANGEROUS
07:34:08:00	07:34:11:00	THING FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
07:34:11:00	07:34:14:00	CAN'T TOLERATE ME.
07:34:14:00	07:34:15:00	BUT YOU'RE GOING TO MISS
07:34:15:00	07:34:19:00	ME WHEN I'M GONE BECAUSE I KNOW
07:34:19:00	07:34:19:00	YOU'RE TRYING TO TAKE ME OUT.
07:34:19:00	07:34:22:00	BUT ANYWAYS, I KNOW YOU HATE
07:34:22:00	07:34:23:00	WHEN I SAY THAT BUT I WILL JUST
07:34:23:00	07:34:25:00	SAY THIS RIGHT?
07:34:25:00	07:34:29:00	WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO STAND
07:34:29:00	07:34:33:00	UP AND SHOW UP FOR THE PEOPLE
07:34:33:00	07:34:37:00	WHO PUT US IN THESE SEATS.
07:34:37:00	07:34:40:00	I SUPPORT RENOVATING WHITE
07:34:40:00	07:34:41:00	STADIUM BECAUSE OUR BLACK AND
07:34:41:00	07:34:45:00	BROWN STUDENTS DESERVE THAT.
07:34:45:00	07:34:49:00	I DON'T SUPPORT BEING
07:34:49:00	07:34:52:00	HYPOCRITICAL AND FISCALLY
07:34:52:00	07:34:56:00	IRRESPONSIBLE WHEN THERE'S
07:34:56:00	07:34:59:00	STILL CONFLICT OF INTEREST
07:34:59:00	07:35:00:00	SCENARIOS THAT HAVE BUBBLED UP
07:35:00:00	07:35:04:00	TO THE TOP AND YOU'VE READ THE
07:35:04:00	07:35:04:00	PAPERS SO YOU CAN'T ACT LIKE
07:35:04:00	07:35:07:00	YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT.
07:35:07:00	07:35:11:00	AND SO WITH THAT WHEN THE RFP
07:35:11:00	07:35:14:00	CAME OUT WHEN COMMUNICATION
07:35:14:00	07:35:15:00	ABOUT THE RFP WAS CREATED WHO
07:35:15:00	07:35:20:00	PARTICIPATED, MADE IT IN THE
07:35:20:00	07:35:20:00	RFP PROCESS, ALL OF THOSE
07:35:20:00	07:35:24:00	THINGS ARE DISCREPANCIES AND WE
07:35:24:00	07:35:27:00	ARE SET THEN THE I DON'T WANT
07:35:27:00	07:35:28:00	TO SAY THE WORD WE'RE SETTING

07:35:35:00	07:35:35:00	RIGHT.

07:35:38:00	07:35:42:00	RIGHT NOW Y'ALL LAST WEEK OR
07:35:42:00	07:35:42:00	THE LAST TIME THAT WE WERE IN
07:35:42:00	07:35:45:00	THIS CHAMBER WE PULLED OUT
07:35:45:00	07:35:46:00	SOMETHING OUT OF THE GREEN
07:35:46:00	07:35:47:00	SHEET AND WE BROUGHT IT UP FOR
07:35:47:00	07:35:49:00	A VOTE WITHOUT DELIBERATION.
07:35:49:00	07:35:49:00	RIGHT.
07:35:49:00	07:35:52:00	I QUESTION THAT BEHAVIOR.
07:35:52:00	07:35:56:00	I WAS WORRIED THAT WE WERE
07:35:56:00	07:35:57:00	GOING TO CONTINUE TO ACT AS
07:35:57:00	07:36:00:00	SUCH BECAUSE ONCE SOMEBODY
07:36:00:00	07:36:01:00	SOMETHING IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN
07:36:01:00	07:36:04:00	AND I GOT CALLED OUT FOR EVEN
07:36:04:00	07:36:08:00	CONSIDERING THAT I SHOULD EVEN
07:36:08:00	07:36:09:00	THINK SUCH A THING AND HERE WE
07:36:09:00	07:36:15:00	ARE HERE WE ARE HERE WE ARE
07:36:15:00	07:36:20:00	SAYING THAT WE WANT TO BE
07:36:20:00	07:36:21:00	ACCOUNTABLE AND AND WE WANT TO
07:36:21:00	07:36:23:00	BE TRANSPARENT AND WE WANT TO
07:36:23:00	07:36:23:00	HOLD THE ADMINISTRATION
07:36:23:00	07:36:24:00	ACCOUNTABLE AND WE WANT ANSWERS
07:36:24:00	07:36:26:00	AND WE WANT TO BE FISCALLY
07:36:26:00	07:36:27:00	RESPONSIBLE BUT WHERE YET WHEN
07:36:27:00	07:36:30:00	IT'S TIME TO MAKE DECISIONS
07:36:30:00	07:36:30:00	WE'RE MAKING IT ABOUT SOMETHING
07:36:30:00	07:36:34:00	THAT IS NOT IN IT WE WANT TO
07:36:34:00	07:36:37:00	RENOVATE WHITE STADIUM.
07:36:37:00	07:36:44:00	WE DO.
07:36:44:00	07:36:48:00	I STRUGGLE WITH THE PROCESS IN
07:36:48:00	07:36:49:00	WHICH WE ARE GOING ABOUT
07:36:49:00	07:36:49:00	GETTING THERE.
07:36:49:00	07:36:51:00	THE FACT THAT WE HAD A NINE
07:36:51:00	07:36:52:00	HOUR HEARING WAS BECAUSE HALF
07:36:52:00	07:36:55:00	OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO CAME HERE
07:36:55:00	07:36:56:00	WERE MUTED WHEN THEY
07:36:56:00	07:36:59:00	PARTICIPATED IN OTHER SPACES
07:36:59:00	07:37:00:00	AND PLACES.
07:37:00:00	07:37:01:00	THE FACT THAT I EVEN HAD TO
07:37:01:00	07:37:03:00	HAVE A HEARING SO THAT PEOPLE
07:37:03:00	07:37:04:00	CAN BE HEARD SPEAKS VOLUMES TO
07:37:04:00	07:37:07:00	WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE RIGHT
07:37:07:00	07:37:07:00	NOW.
07:37:07:00	07:37:11:00	SO AGAIN YOU CAN WRITE UP AND
07:37:11:00	07:37:14:00	SAY I BELIEVE IN YOU.
07:37:14:00	07:37:15:00	I BELIEVE IN ALL OF THE THINGS
07:37:15:00	07:37:16:00	THAT Y'ALL SAID.
07:37:16:00	07:37:18:00	BUT I ALSO BELIEVE IN JUSTICE
07:37:18:00	07:37:19:00	AND RIGHT NOW IS OUR
07:37:19:00	07:37:22:00	OPPORTUNITY TO DEMONSTRATE THAT
07:37:22:00	07:37:26:00	WE ARE GOING TO FUNCTION AS A
07:37:26:00	07:37:29:00	BODY BE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES
07:37:29:00	07:37:30:00	DEMAND THAT THE ADMINISTRATION
07:37:30:00	07:37:31:00	DELIVER ON THE THINGS THAT ARE
07:37:31:00	07:37:33:00	STILL OUTSTANDING AND THEN WE
07:37:33:00	07:37:37:00	CAN MOVE ON IF WE DON'T DO THIS
07:37:37:00	07:37:38:00	THIS TIME IT'LL BE A PROJECT
07:37:38:00	07:37:44:00	THAT'S COMING TO YOUR DISTRICT
07:37:44:00	07:37:44:00	DISTRICT FOUR, DISTRICT THREE,
07:37:44:00	07:37:45:00	DISTRICT FIVE AND THEN YOU'RE

07:38:54:00	07:38:54:00	YEAH.
07:38:54:00	07:38:56:00	OKAY.
07:38:56:00	07:39:00:00	MADAM MADAM CHAIR, THE THE
07:39:00:00	07:39:04:00	WHITE STADIUM ITSELF MANY
07:39:04:00	07:39:06:00	PEOPLE THINK IT'S TECHNICALLY
07:39:06:00	07:39:07:00	100% OWNED BY THE CITY
07:39:07:00	07:39:10:00	OF BOSTON AND THAT'S NOT
07:39:10:00	07:39:10:00	NECESSARILY ACCURATE.
07:39:10:00	07:39:14:00	I KNOW THE WHITE THE WHITE FUND
07:39:14:00	07:39:16:00	ITSELF PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE
07:39:16:00	07:39:21:00	ALSO THERE'S A POTENTIAL THERE
07:39:21:00	07:39:25:00	IS A LEGAL CASE PENDING RIGHT
07:39:25:00	07:39:25:00	NOW IN COURT.
07:39:25:00	07:39:29:00	I DON'T I DON'T KNOW THE STATUS
07:39:29:00	07:39:30:00	OF IT BUT I GUESS MY QUESTION
07:39:30:00	07:39:36:00	IS IF DEPENDING ON WHAT HOW THE
07:39:36:00	07:39:40:00	LEGAL LEGAL CASE GOES IS THE
07:39:40:00	07:39:43:00	CITY OF BOSTON IF THEY LOSE THE
07:39:43:00	07:39:44:00	CASE IS THE CITY OF BOSTON
07:39:44:00	07:39:48:00	LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OR IS IT THE
07:39:48:00	07:39:54:00	WHITE STADIUM FUND OR IS IT THE
07:39:54:00	07:39:55:00	IS IT THE RESIDENTS OF BOSTON?
07:39:55:00	07:39:58:00	I THINK THERE'S SOME LANGUAGE
07:39:58:00	07:39:59:00	THAT NEEDS TO BE TO TO BE
07:39:59:00	07:40:02:00	CLARIFIED AND IF COUNCILOR HERE
07:40:02:00	07:40:06:00	IS ASKING FOR A PAUSE TO ASK
07:40:06:00	07:40:09:00	SOME QUESTIONS, I THINK THAT
07:40:09:00	07:40:09:00	ONE SHOULD ALSO BE BE ASKED AS
07:40:09:00	07:40:12:00	WELL BECAUSE I I DON'T KNOW I
07:40:12:00	07:40:13:00	DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW THE
07:40:13:00	07:40:16:00	ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION.
07:40:16:00	07:40:17:00	AND IF THERE'S ANY ONE OF MY
07:40:17:00	07:40:18:00	COLLEAGUES THAT KNOW THAT
07:40:18:00	07:40:20:00	ANSWER, I I'D WELCOME THAT
07:40:20:00	07:40:21:00	BECAUSE I THINK THAT
07:40:21:00	07:40:23:00	INFORMATION WOULD BE HELPFUL TO
07:40:23:00	07:40:24:00	US BEFORE WE VOTE ON THIS.
07:40:24:00	07:40:28:00	BUT IF ANYONE CLARIFY ON THE
07:40:28:00	07:40:31:00	WHITE STADIUM, THE CITY
07:40:31:00	07:40:32:00	OF BOSTON AND WHAT IMPACT IT
07:40:32:00	07:40:35:00	HAS IF BOSTON EVER LOST THIS
07:40:35:00	07:40:39:00	CASE, DOES THAT MEAN BOSTON IN
07:40:39:00	07:40:39:00	THE TAXPAYERS ARE RESPONSIBLE
07:40:39:00	07:40:42:00	OR DOES THAT MEAN THE WHITE
07:40:42:00	07:40:43:00	FUND ITSELF?
07:40:43:00	07:40:43:00	I DON'T KNOW.
07:40:43:00	07:40:47:00	MADAM CHAIR DO YOU HAVE DO YOU

07:40:50:00	07:40:51:00	I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF MY
07:40:51:00	07:40:51:00	COLLEAGUES WOULD LIKE TO
07:40:51:00	07:40:51:00	RESPOND.
07:40:51:00	07:40:54:00	I OR HAVE AN ANSWER.
07:40:54:00	07:41:00:00	I'M NOT AWARE SO NOT SURE.
07:41:00:00	07:41:04:00	SO IF I'M THE CHAIR OF PLANNING
07:41:04:00	07:41:07:00	AND DEVELOPMENT COUNCILOR FLYNN
07:41:07:00	07:41:10:00	, YOU ASKED A QUESTION IF ANY

07:41:12:00	07:41:13:00	LIGHT IN PROVIDING ANSWER.
07:41:13:00	07:41:17:00	OKAY.
07:41:17:00	07:41:18:00	IS THERE ANYONE ELSE LOOKING TO
07:41:18:00	07:41:18:00	SPEAK ON THIS MATTER?
07:41:18:00	07:41:21:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
07:41:21:00	07:41:22:00	COUNCILOR FOR AN ENGINEER

07:41:38:00	07:41:39:00	US THROUGH WHAT'S TAKEN PLACE
07:41:39:00	07:41:43:00	SO FAR THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS
07:41:43:00	07:41:43:00	.
07:41:43:00	07:41:44:00	SO THERE WAS THIS IDEA TO
07:41:44:00	07:41:47:00	RENOVATE OR REDEVELOP WHITE
07:41:47:00	07:41:51:00	STADIUM AND IT IMMEDIATELY

07:41:55:00	07:41:59:00	CONTRACTOR OR DEVELOPERS THAT

07:42:03:00	07:42:06:00	SOCCER LEAGUE TO WHITE STADIUM
07:42:06:00	07:42:06:00	INITIALLY THERE WAS NO TALKS
07:42:06:00	07:42:07:00	ABOUT YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY
07:42:07:00	07:42:11:00	BENEFITS OR WHAT WOULD TAKE
07:42:11:00	07:42:12:00	PLACE, HOW IT WOULD BE SHAPED
07:42:12:00	07:42:13:00	IF IT WAS GOING TO HAVE AN
07:42:13:00	07:42:14:00	EXTENSION OF IT.
07:42:14:00	07:42:14:00	IT WAS JUST SPECIFICALLY
07:42:14:00	07:42:15:00	REDEVELOP IT.
07:42:15:00	07:42:18:00	DO REDO MY STADIUM, MAKE IT

07:43:38:00	07:43:42:00	THAT IS WHERE PEOPLE LOOK FOR
07:43:42:00	07:43:42:00	PARKING AND SO THEY'LL START
07:43:42:00	07:43:45:00	PARKING ON THE ADJACENT STREETS
07:43:45:00	07:43:46:00	STREET, BLUE HILL AVENUE AND

07:44:15:00	07:44:16:00	POTENTIAL OF THIS THING
07:44:16:00	07:44:18:00	HAPPENING.
07:44:18:00	07:44:19:00	I IMMEDIATELY STARTED
07:44:19:00	07:44:23:00	ADVOCATING ON IF THEY WERE
07:44:23:00	07:44:24:00	GOING TO COME IN WITH WHAT
07:44:24:00	07:44:27:00	WOULD THE IMPACT BE COULD WE DO
07:44:27:00	07:44:27:00	A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY?
07:44:27:00	07:44:28:00	COULD WE LOOK AT THE COMMUNITY
07:44:28:00	07:44:28:00	BENEFITS?
07:44:28:00	07:44:31:00	COULD WE LOOK AT THE IMPACT ON
07:44:31:00	07:44:31:00	CONSTITUENTS?
07:44:31:00	07:44:31:00	HAVE THEY LOOK HAVE THEY TALKED

07:44:35:00	07:44:37:00	DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS
07:44:37:00	07:44:38:00	ASSOCIATIONS THAT ARE IN THAT

07:44:52:00	07:44:53:00	GARRISON I CHECKED IN GARRISON
07:44:53:00	07:44:54:00	TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WE HAD A
07:44:54:00	07:44:57:00	MEETING AND THEY WERE
07:44:57:00	07:44:57:00	SUPPORTIVE.
07:44:57:00	07:44:59:00	THEY SAID OUR GARRISON PART
07:44:59:00	07:45:00:00	OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAID THIS

07:45:19:00	07:45:22:00	KNOW HOW IT IS.
07:45:22:00	07:45:23:00	AND SO IMMEDIATELY THE
07:45:23:00	07:45:26:00	CONVERSATIONS DID FEEL LIKE THE
07:45:26:00	07:45:30:00	ADMINISTRATION AND THE LESSEES
07:45:30:00	07:45:30:00	OR THE POTENTIAL CONTRACTOR

07:45:34:00	07:45:37:00	THEY WERE ALREADY SORT OF IN

07:45:49:00	07:45:49:00	OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS.
07:45:49:00	07:45:53:00	BUT THEN ALL OF THAT WAS
07:45:53:00	07:45:53:00	DISPELLED.
07:45:53:00	07:45:54:00	IT WAS VERY TRANSPARENT AND
07:45:54:00	07:45:56:00	BECAME MORE OPEN CONVERSATION
07:45:56:00	07:45:57:00	ABOUT HOW WE GOT TO THAT.

07:49:42:00	07:49:45:00	COST OF 1.5 MILLION.
07:49:45:00	07:49:48:00	HOWEVER, CUTTING DOWN 145 TREES
07:49:48:00	07:49:52:00	CAUSING THAT HARM.
07:49:52:00	07:49:52:00	BUT THEN YOU KNOW THEN THE
07:49:52:00	07:49:55:00	DEBATE BECAME IF WE CUT 145
07:49:55:00	07:49:59:00	TREES THESE BEAUTIFUL, YOU
07:49:59:00	07:50:03:00	KNOW, ROBUST OLDER TREES THAT
07:50:03:00	07:50:06:00	OBVIOUSLY WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE
07:50:06:00	07:50:09:00	IMPACT BECAUSE YOUR NEW TREES
07:50:09:00	07:50:10:00	500 PLUS WOULD TAKE A VERY LONG
07:50:10:00	07:50:13:00	TIME BEFORE THEY'RE AT THE SIZE
07:50:13:00	07:50:14:00	OR AGE WHERE THEY COULD
07:50:14:00	07:50:14:00	CONTRIBUTE AS MUCH.
07:50:14:00	07:50:17:00	YOU KNOW, OXYGEN TO THE TO TO
07:50:17:00	07:50:21:00	THE ENVIRONMENT AND THEN ALSO

07:50:28:00	07:50:29:00	EXCLUSIVELY TO INVESTMENT
07:50:29:00	07:50:32:00	FRANKLIN PARK AND I THINK THIS
07:50:32:00	07:50:32:00	WAS PARTICULARLY WHEN THE
07:50:32:00	07:50:36:00	FRANKLIN PARK COALITION WHO AT
07:50:36:00	07:50:37:00	FIRST KIND OF WHO WAS ON THE
07:50:37:00	07:50:40:00	FENCE OF SUPPORTING IT AND THEN
07:50:40:00	07:50:40:00	BECAME A SUPPORT AFTER WHEN
07:50:40:00	07:50:44:00	THEY SAID OKAY FINE, YOU'RE
07:50:44:00	07:50:44:00	WILLING TO INVEST IN THE PARK,
07:50:44:00	07:50:47:00	WE CAN COME TO SOME COMMON
07:50:47:00	07:50:48:00	GROUND AND THEY MADE AN
07:50:48:00	07:50:48:00	AGREEMENT AND THAT'S WHAT
07:50:48:00	07:50:50:00	TRANSPIRED OVER THAT.
07:50:50:00	07:50:51:00	THE BUSTER UNITY SOCCER
07:50:51:00	07:50:55:00	PARTNERS ALSO AGREED PAY CITY

07:51:03:00	07:51:03:00	INCREASES AND 10% OF THE

07:51:09:00	07:51:10:00	CONCESSION SALES WHICH I
07:51:10:00	07:51:13:00	THOUGHT IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD
07:51:13:00	07:51:14:00	DEAL I WAS PART OF THESE
07:51:14:00	07:51:16:00	CONVERSATIONS SO AS
07:51:16:00	07:51:20:00	COUNCILOR WEBER AND I THINK
07:51:20:00	07:51:21:00	COUNCILOR WORRELL SOME POINT IN
07:51:21:00	07:51:23:00	COUNCIL AND REPRESENTATIVE
07:51:23:00	07:51:24:00	CHRIS WERE AROUND 500
07:51:24:00	07:51:28:00	CONSTRUCTION JOBS AND 300
07:51:28:00	07:51:28:00	PERMANENT JOBS WITH FIRM
07:51:28:00	07:51:31:00	COMMITMENT FROM THE SOCCER
07:51:31:00	07:51:32:00	LEAGUE TO FOCUS ON HIRING
07:51:32:00	07:51:35:00	DIVERSE THIS PARTICULAR ONE WAS
07:51:35:00	07:51:35:00	MINE.
07:51:35:00	07:51:36:00	MY REQUEST THAT 50% OF THE
07:51:36:00	07:51:38:00	PRIVATE UNDER THE PRIVATE
07:51:38:00	07:51:43:00	CONTRACT WOULD BE AND 50% A AND
07:51:43:00	07:51:45:00	B AND SO AND THEY COMMITTED
07:51:45:00	07:51:46:00	THAT THEY AGREED TO COMMIT TO
07:51:46:00	07:51:46:00	THAT.
07:51:46:00	07:51:47:00	AND SO I THINK THE CONFLICT
07:51:47:00	07:51:50:00	OF INTEREST CONSTITUENTS NOT
07:51:50:00	07:51:50:00	CONCERN MEJIA BECAUSE MEJIA IS

07:51:55:00	07:51:57:00	COUNCIL ME IS THAT IS THERE A
07:51:57:00	07:52:01:00	CONFLICT OF INTEREST WHERE
07:52:01:00	07:52:01:00	THERE ARE TWO CONTRACTS?
07:52:01:00	07:52:02:00	SO THE JOB PITCH IN
07:52:02:00	07:52:04:00	PARTICULARLY ARE SEPARATE INTO
07:52:04:00	07:52:05:00	PRIVATE AND TO PUBLIC.
07:52:05:00	07:52:08:00	SO THE 91 MILLION THAT WOULD GO
07:52:08:00	07:52:09:00	INTO THIS JOB WOULD BE THE
07:52:09:00	07:52:12:00	PUBLIC CONTRACT AND THEN
07:52:12:00	07:52:12:00	THERE'S THE PRIVATE PART WITH
07:52:12:00	07:52:15:00	TO DO A SEPARATE JOB.
07:52:15:00	07:52:16:00	SO WHETHER IT BE LIKE CALL IT
07:52:16:00	07:52:19:00	WING WANT IT RIGHT WING AND
07:52:19:00	07:52:20:00	LEFT WING AND SO THE RIGHT WING
07:52:20:00	07:52:23:00	WOULD JUST BE PARTICULAR FOR
07:52:23:00	07:52:24:00	THE 91 MILLION THAT THE CITY'S
07:52:24:00	07:52:27:00	PROVIDING THE ALLOCATION AND
07:52:27:00	07:52:27:00	THAT 91 MILLION WOULD HAVE TO
07:52:27:00	07:52:30:00	BE PUBLIC FOR PUBLIC BID AND
07:52:30:00	07:52:31:00	THAT HAS NOT BEEN PUT OUT YET
07:52:31:00	07:52:34:00	AND SO FOR EITHER ONE I MEAN

07:53:30:00	07:53:31:00	WANT IT CROSS IT OFF THE LIST
07:53:31:00	07:53:31:00	BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
07:53:31:00	07:53:33:00	THAT WE EVENTUALLY DO SOME SORT
07:53:33:00	07:53:34:00	OF INFOGRAPHIC WHERE WE

07:54:17:00	07:54:21:00	SPECIFICALLY THEY HAVE
07:54:21:00	07:54:21:00	PARTICULARLY DONE
07:54:21:00	07:54:22:00	TRANSPORTATION IN OUR
07:54:22:00	07:54:25:00	DEPARTMENT THE TRANSPORTATION
07:54:25:00	07:54:26:00	ACCIDENTS PLAN GUIDELINES AND
07:54:26:00	07:54:28:00	SO THEY HAVE MAPPED YOU KNOW
07:54:28:00	07:54:29:00	WHAT THE ROUTES WOULD BE WHERE
07:54:29:00	07:54:32:00	PEOPLE WOULD PARK OUTSIDE
07:54:32:00	07:54:33:00	OF THE AREA AND IN THE
07:54:33:00	07:54:36:00	ADMINISTRATION HAS THEN PUT
07:54:36:00	07:54:37:00	TOGETHER A PARKING PLAN THAT IF
07:54:37:00	07:54:40:00	THEY IF PEOPLE PARK IN THE AREA
07:54:40:00	07:54:41:00	WITHOUT A PERMIT IN DURING
07:54:41:00	07:54:44:00	THESE EVENTS THAT THEY WOULD BE
07:54:44:00	07:54:44:00	TOWED.
07:54:44:00	07:54:45:00	BUT THEN THE COMMUNITY'S LIKE
07:54:45:00	07:54:48:00	YEAH BUT YOU DON'T DO THAT NOW
07:54:48:00	07:54:51:00	WHY WOULD WHY SHOULD WE TRUST

07:54:52:00	07:54:55:00	SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN IT IS GOING
07:54:55:00	07:54:56:00	TO BE AN ADDED BURDEN.
07:54:56:00	07:54:59:00	AND SO WITH THAT THERE'S STUDY
07:54:59:00	07:55:03:00	AND IMPROVEMENTS SO PROJECT
07:55:03:00	07:55:03:00	NOTIFICATION FORM SO IT'S FOR
07:55:03:00	07:55:06:00	EXAMPLE THEY WANT TO UPDATE US

07:55:15:00	07:55:15:00	STILL PENDING ITEMS AND SO
07:55:15:00	07:55:19:00	THAT'S A LOT IN MY OPINION THAT
07:55:19:00	07:55:20:00	FROM THE DEVELOPERS AND LESSEE
07:55:20:00	07:55:23:00	THEY HAVE TRIED TO COMPLY FROM

07:55:47:00	07:55:50:00	BUT BASICALLY AGAIN WITH THE
07:55:50:00	07:55:54:00	CONFLICT THAT CONSTITUENTS WHO

07:56:42:00	07:56:42:00	COST ANALYSIS?
07:56:42:00	07:56:45:00	WE THEN SAID WE NEED A ANALYSIS

07:57:08:00	07:57:11:00	IMMEDIATELY A COMPREHENSIVE
07:57:11:00	07:57:12:00	TRANSPORTATION IMPACT PLAN
07:57:12:00	07:57:15:00	AGAIN THEY HAVE A
07:57:15:00	07:57:16:00	TRANSPORTATION PLAN BUT NOT THE
07:57:16:00	07:57:18:00	IMPACT PLAN.
07:57:18:00	07:57:19:00	THE IMPACT ANALYSIS PROVIDE A
07:57:19:00	07:57:22:00	COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT
07:57:22:00	07:57:23:00	OF PARKING IMPACT AS WELL.
07:57:23:00	07:57:26:00	AND AS FAR AS COMMUNITY
07:57:26:00	07:57:27:00	ENGAGEMENT, I'M LISTING NOW THE
07:57:27:00	07:57:30:00	PAIN POINTS OBVIOUSLY AS FAR AS
07:57:30:00	07:57:31:00	COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, I DO
07:57:31:00	07:57:33:00	THINK THAT YOU KNOW 150
07:57:33:00	07:57:34:00	MEETINGS.
07:57:34:00	07:57:34:00	YES.
07:57:34:00	07:57:38:00	BUT IF YOU COULD HAVE 1000
07:57:38:00	07:57:41:00	MEETINGS BUT IF CONSTITUENTS
07:57:41:00	07:57:42:00	ARE STILL FEELING UNHEARD AND
07:57:42:00	07:57:45:00	BEING MUTED AT 2 MINUTES, THEN
07:57:45:00	07:57:46:00	IT BEGS THE QUESTION IF WE HAVE
07:57:46:00	07:57:48:00	TO DO THAT DIFFERENTLY AND I
07:57:48:00	07:57:49:00	WOULD JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, TO
07:57:49:00	07:57:50:00	THE ADMINISTRATION I KNOW WE
07:57:50:00	07:57:52:00	HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO BUT AT
07:57:52:00	07:57:53:00	SOME POINT, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD
07:57:53:00	07:57:55:00	HAVE HAD MEETINGS LIKE THE ONE
07:57:55:00	07:57:56:00	THAT I HELD AT THE GARRISON
07:57:56:00	07:57:58:00	TROTTER, LIKE THE ONE THAT I
07:57:58:00	07:57:59:00	SUPPORTED BEN WEBB, COUNSELOR
07:57:59:00	07:58:01:00	WEBER HAVING.
07:58:01:00	07:58:02:00	AND SO THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES
07:58:02:00	07:58:05:00	TO DO BETTER THERE.
07:58:05:00	07:58:08:00	SO ANNUAL PROJECTION CALENDAR
07:58:08:00	07:58:12:00	WE WANT TO SEE ALL ALL OF THE
07:58:12:00	07:58:14:00	EVENTS NOT JUST THE 20 GAMES SO
07:58:14:00	07:58:15:00	IT'S 20 GAMES PLUS GAMES PLUS
07:58:15:00	07:58:18:00	GRADUATIONS PLUS OTHER EVENTS
07:58:18:00	07:58:19:00	EVENTS PLUS FESTIVALS PLUS
07:58:19:00	07:58:23:00	CONCERTS PLUS FAN FEST PLUS
07:58:23:00	07:58:23:00	FRANKLIN PARK COLLISION
07:58:23:00	07:58:25:00	CONCERTS, KIDDY CARNIVALS,
07:58:25:00	07:58:26:00	FUNDRAISERS AND ADDITIONAL
07:58:26:00	07:58:26:00	COMMUNITY EVENTS.
07:58:26:00	07:58:29:00	IT SOUNDS LIKE EVERY WEEKEND
07:58:29:00	07:58:30:00	THERE'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING
07:58:30:00	07:58:33:00	AT THE WHITE STADIUM.
07:58:33:00	07:58:34:00	SO IF YOU GET THAT PICTURE YOU
07:58:34:00	07:58:36:00	CAN SEE WHY SOMEONE THAT LIVES
07:58:36:00	07:58:37:00	NEXT TO THE STADIUM WOULD FEEL
07:58:37:00	07:58:40:00	OVERWHELMED AND WANT TO
07:58:40:00	07:58:41:00	UNDERSTAND THE ACTUAL IMPACT.
07:58:41:00	07:58:45:00	AND THEN AS FOR SMALL BUSINESS
07:58:45:00	07:58:45:00	COMMUNITY BENEFIT, LOOK FORWARD
07:58:45:00	07:58:46:00	TO WORKING WITH THAT.
07:58:46:00	07:58:49:00	SO WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID AND
07:58:49:00	07:58:51:00	I DO APOLOGIZE IT WAS A LOT
07:58:51:00	07:58:52:00	BECAUSE YOU'RE AT 18 MINUTES.
07:58:52:00	07:58:52:00	OH, I'M SORRY.
07:58:52:00	07:58:56:00	I'M SO SORRY BUT I DID WANT TO
07:58:56:00	07:58:58:00	BE VERY DETAILED ON PURPOSE TO
07:58:58:00	07:59:03:00	SAY SO I BELIEVE THAT THE
07:59:03:00	07:59:06:00	DEVELOPERS OR LESSEES AND
07:59:06:00	07:59:07:00	ADMINISTRATION HAVE DONE A
07:59:07:00	07:59:08:00	WHOLE LOT TO BE RESPONSIVE TO
07:59:08:00	07:59:10:00	WHAT COMMUNITY WANTS BUT WITH
07:59:10:00	07:59:11:00	WHAT COMMUNITY WANTS COMES A
07:59:11:00	07:59:15:00	LEVEL OF IMPACT STUDY AND MORE
07:59:15:00	07:59:15:00	COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING
07:59:15:00	07:59:18:00	OF HOW THE CONSTITUENTS WILL BE
07:59:18:00	07:59:18:00	IMPACTED.
07:59:18:00	07:59:19:00	SO IT'S LIKE I WANT THIS AND
07:59:19:00	07:59:21:00	WANT THIS AND WANT THIS YES YOU
07:59:21:00	07:59:22:00	CAN HAVE IT BUT THEN THERE'S
07:59:22:00	07:59:23:00	ALL OF THIS OTHER IMPACT AND
07:59:23:00	07:59:25:00	THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT'S
07:59:25:00	07:59:26:00	LEFT THAT THEY HAVE NOT
07:59:26:00	07:59:26:00	RESPONDED TO.
07:59:26:00	07:59:29:00	SO I WOULD SAY THAT I'M

07:59:34:00	07:59:35:00	ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT NON LEGALLY
07:59:35:00	07:59:37:00	BINDING AND I CONTINUE TO
07:59:37:00	07:59:41:00	SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF OF
07:59:41:00	07:59:44:00	OF OF THE WHITE STADIUM HOWEVER
07:59:44:00	07:59:45:00	THERE ARE A LOT OF PAIN POINTS
07:59:45:00	07:59:48:00	HERE.

08:00:00:00	08:00:00:00	INFORMATION TO DISSEMINATE TO
08:00:00:00	08:00:01:00	COMMUNITY.
08:00:01:00	08:00:03:00	AND I WOULD ALSO IMPLORE THEM
08:00:03:00	08:00:04:00	TO HAVE FURTHER COMMUNITY

08:00:38:00	08:00:41:00	IT HAS BEEN A LONG DAY.

08:00:45:00	08:00:50:00	THIS HAS BEEN CONSISTENT BUT
08:00:50:00	08:00:51:00	FOR THOSE FOLKS WHO DIDN'T GROW
08:00:51:00	08:00:54:00	UP HERE IN THE CITY OF BOSTON I
08:00:54:00	08:00:55:00	DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS OR
08:00:55:00	08:00:57:00	NOT BUT WHITE STADIUM WAS A
08:00:57:00	08:00:58:00	FOOTBALL FIELD.
08:00:58:00	08:00:59:00	IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE FIELD
08:00:59:00	08:01:02:00	OF DREAMS AND I BELIEVE UNDER
08:01:02:00	08:01:03:00	THIS PLAN THAT IT WILL NO
08:01:03:00	08:01:09:00	LONGER ABLE TO PLAY FOOTBALL AT
08:01:09:00	08:01:10:00	ALL.
08:01:10:00	08:01:10:00	AND I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THAT'S
08:01:10:00	08:01:11:00	NOT TRUE.
08:01:11:00	08:01:14:00	IT'S NOT OKAY.
08:01:14:00	08:01:14:00	IT'S NOT TRUE.
08:01:14:00	08:01:15:00	IT'S GOING TO BE A SOCCER
08:01:15:00	08:01:16:00	THEY'RE GOING TO BE THEY COULD
08:01:16:00	08:01:17:00	PLAY FOOTBALL.
08:01:17:00	08:01:18:00	THERE'S A LOT OF MISINFORMATION
08:01:18:00	08:01:21:00	OUT THERE THAT OH MY GOD, THANK
08:01:21:00	08:01:22:00	GOD BECAUSE I WAS ABOUT TO GO
08:01:22:00	08:01:22:00	CRAZY ON THAT ONE.
08:01:22:00	08:01:24:00	OH LISTEN, THANK YOU SO MUCH
08:01:24:00	08:01:28:00	BECAUSE I'M SO SORRY AND OKAY,
08:01:28:00	08:01:29:00	SO THERE'S STILL GOING TO BE
08:01:29:00	08:01:32:00	BASKETBALL.
08:01:32:00	08:01:32:00	THERE'S A COURT HERE BECAUSE
08:01:32:00	08:01:36:00	ALLEGEDLY I HEARD THAT THEY
08:01:36:00	08:01:37:00	WERE GOING TO TAKE IT OUT TOO.
08:01:37:00	08:01:39:00	SO AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT GOING
08:01:39:00	08:01:40:00	TO GET RID OF ALL THE BLACK
08:01:40:00	08:01:40:00	SPORTS THEN I'M GOOD.
08:01:40:00	08:01:43:00	BUT ANYWAYS, I KNOW I'M
08:01:43:00	08:01:43:00	ENTERTAINING AND I DON'T WANT
08:01:43:00	08:01:47:00	TO MAKE THIS ABOUT MYSELF.
08:01:47:00	08:01:48:00	YOU'RE AT ONE MINUTE AND I
08:01:48:00	08:01:48:00	DON'T WANT TO MAKE THIS ABOUT
08:01:48:00	08:01:49:00	MYSELF BUT I JUST WANT
08:01:49:00	08:01:50:00	EVERYBODY TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE
08:01:50:00	08:01:53:00	STADIUM DESERVES TO BE
08:01:53:00	08:01:54:00	RENOVATED.
08:01:54:00	08:01:54:00	THAT IS NOT WHAT WE'RE
08:01:54:00	08:01:58:00	DISCUSSING HERE.
08:01:58:00	08:01:59:00	I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
08:01:59:00	08:01:59:00	EVERYBODY WHO'S PAYING
08:01:59:00	08:02:00:00	ATTENTION KNOWS THAT'S NOT WHAT
08:02:00:00	08:02:04:00	WE'RE FIGHTING ABOUT.
08:02:04:00	08:02:04:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES COUNCILOR.
08:02:04:00	08:02:07:00	WHERE ARE YOU ON THE FLOOR.
08:02:07:00	08:02:08:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT AND
08:02:08:00	08:02:11:00	THANK YOU TO COUNCILOR ME HERE
08:02:11:00	08:02:12:00	AND ALL MY COUNCILOR COLLEAGUES
08:02:12:00	08:02:13:00	WHO HAVE GOTTEN UP TO VOICE
08:02:13:00	08:02:15:00	THEIR OPINION.
08:02:15:00	08:02:19:00	THE CURRENT PLANS FOR A NEW
08:02:19:00	08:02:19:00	PROFESSIONAL STADIUM PRESENTS
08:02:19:00	08:02:22:00	SOME GREAT COMMUNITY BENEFITS.
08:02:22:00	08:02:26:00	IT ALSO PREVENT PRESENTS A
08:02:26:00	08:02:27:00	GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO RENOVATE
08:02:27:00	08:02:30:00	WHITE STADIUM AND A VENUE LIKE
08:02:30:00	08:02:31:00	THIS COULD BRING A NEW ENERGY
08:02:31:00	08:02:33:00	TO FRANKLIN PARK AS A DISTRICT
08:02:33:00	08:02:34:00	COUNSELOR AND I FEEL LIKE SOME
08:02:34:00	08:02:37:00	DISTRICT COUNSELORS MIGHT BE
08:02:37:00	08:02:38:00	ABLE TO RELATE TO THIS BUT I
08:02:38:00	08:02:42:00	STRONGLY BELIEVE IN THE VALUE
08:02:42:00	08:02:42:00	OF A CO-DESIGN MODEL WHEN IT
08:02:42:00	08:02:45:00	COMES TO THE CONSTRUCTION
08:02:45:00	08:02:45:00	PROJECTS.
08:02:45:00	08:02:46:00	IN MY EXPERIENCE INVOLVING THE
08:02:46:00	08:02:49:00	COMMUNITY AT THE VERY START
08:02:49:00	08:02:49:00	OF A PROJECT BEFORE ANY DESIGNS
08:02:49:00	08:02:54:00	ARE DRAWN LEADS COMMUNITY IS
08:02:54:00	08:02:55:00	ENGAGED EARLY ON THEY FEEL
08:02:55:00	08:02:58:00	HEARD AND THE INPUT CAN BE ALSO
08:02:58:00	08:02:59:00	REFLECTED IN THE FINAL DESIGN.
08:02:59:00	08:03:02:00	WHEN RENOVATING PUBLIC SPACES
08:03:02:00	08:03:03:00	THE CO-DESIGN MODEL, THE
08:03:03:00	08:03:06:00	COMMUNITY AND OUR CITY
08:03:06:00	08:03:07:00	DEPARTMENT SHOULD BE WORKING
08:03:07:00	08:03:09:00	HAND IN HAND TO BRING A
08:03:09:00	08:03:10:00	COLLECTIVE VISION TO LIFE
08:03:10:00	08:03:14:00	THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS AND
08:03:14:00	08:03:14:00	ESPECIALLY AT THE MOST RECENT
08:03:14:00	08:03:15:00	HEARING.
08:03:15:00	08:03:18:00	IT'S BECOME CLEAR THAT THE
08:03:18:00	08:03:18:00	COMMUNITY'S VISION FOR WHITE
08:03:18:00	08:03:21:00	STADIUM IS DIFFERENT FROM THE
08:03:21:00	08:03:21:00	PROPOSED PLANS.
08:03:21:00	08:03:25:00	WHAT I'M HEARING LOUD AND CLEAR
08:03:25:00	08:03:26:00	FROM ALL RESIDENTS IS A DESIRE
08:03:26:00	08:03:29:00	TO SEE ALL THE PLANS.
08:03:29:00	08:03:30:00	ONE THAT TRULY REFLECTS THEIR
08:03:30:00	08:03:33:00	PRIORITIES, PRIORITIES AND
08:03:33:00	08:03:33:00	ADDRESSES THEIR CONCERNS.
08:03:33:00	08:03:36:00	AS SOMEONE WHO LIVES WALKING
08:03:36:00	08:03:40:00	DISTANCE FROM THE PARK, I
08:03:40:00	08:03:41:00	UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS OF MY
08:03:41:00	08:03:41:00	NEIGHBORS ABOUT THE PROPOSED
08:03:41:00	08:03:44:00	PLAN.
08:03:44:00	08:03:44:00	MANY RESIDENTS ALREADY ARE
08:03:44:00	08:03:47:00	FRUSTRATED WITH THE AREA'S
08:03:47:00	08:03:48:00	PARKING ISSUES FROM THE ZOO,
08:03:48:00	08:03:48:00	THE GOLF COURSE AND OTHER
08:03:48:00	08:03:52:00	FREQUENT PARK EVENTS AND THEY
08:03:52:00	08:03:53:00	ARE NOW BEING ASKED TO SUPPORT
08:03:53:00	08:03:55:00	A 10,000 SEAT STADIUM THAT
08:03:55:00	08:03:56:00	LACKS ANY DEDICATED PARKING
08:03:56:00	08:03:59:00	GARAGE OR LOT TO ACCOMMODATE
08:03:59:00	08:04:02:00	THE INFLUX OF FANS.
08:04:02:00	08:04:03:00	RESIDENTS HAVE ALSO SEEN THIS
08:04:03:00	08:04:06:00	SCENARIO PLAY OUT.
08:04:06:00	08:04:06:00	THE PRIVATE PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP
08:04:06:00	08:04:07:00	PLAYED OUT BEFORE.
08:04:07:00	08:04:10:00	LOOKING BACK AT THE EXPERIENCE
08:04:10:00	08:04:11:00	WITH THE CAR AT A PLAYGROUND
08:04:11:00	08:04:14:00	WE'VE SEEN THAT SEAT IN
08:04:14:00	08:04:14:00	PARKLAND TO A PRIVATE ENTITY
08:04:14:00	08:04:17:00	CAN SOUND LIKE A GOOD DEAL AT
08:04:17:00	08:04:18:00	FIRST BUT IN PRACTICE IT OFTEN
08:04:18:00	08:04:21:00	LEADS TO THE COMMUNITY LOSING
08:04:21:00	08:04:25:00	OUT WITH $100 MILLION OR LESS.
08:04:25:00	08:04:26:00	I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD BE ABLE
08:04:26:00	08:04:28:00	TO BUILD A NEW STADIUM.
08:04:28:00	08:04:28:00	THEN ADMINISTRATION HAS
08:04:28:00	08:04:32:00	MENTIONED ALTERNATIVE PLANS
08:04:32:00	08:04:33:00	THAT WILL GIVE THE PUBLIC FULL
08:04:33:00	08:04:36:00	CONTROL OVER THE SPACE AND THE
08:04:36:00	08:04:36:00	COMMUNITY SHOULD ABSOLUTELY
08:04:36:00	08:04:39:00	HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE
08:04:39:00	08:04:39:00	THOSE OPTIONS.
08:04:39:00	08:04:43:00	DECREASING THE CAPACITY FROM A
08:04:43:00	08:04:45:00	10,000 TO A 5000 SEAT STADIUM
08:04:45:00	08:04:46:00	IS IN LINE WITH MOST HIGH
08:04:46:00	08:04:49:00	SCHOOL STADIUMS WHICH I ALSO
08:04:49:00	08:04:50:00	BELIEVE WILL HELP CUT COSTS.
08:04:50:00	08:04:53:00	I'VE HEARD THE ARGUMENT THAT
08:04:53:00	08:04:53:00	THERE AREN'T MANY FOOTBALL
08:04:53:00	08:04:57:00	TEAMS LEFT AND THAT MOST HIGH
08:04:57:00	08:04:57:00	SCHOOL SOCCER GAMES DON'T TAKE
08:04:57:00	08:05:00:00	PLACE ON THE PROPOSED SATURDAY
08:05:00:00	08:05:01:00	DATE.
08:05:01:00	08:05:02:00	BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY IF
08:05:02:00	08:05:04:00	WE'RE INVESTING $100 MILLION IN
08:05:04:00	08:05:07:00	THIS RENOVATION I BELIEVE WE
08:05:07:00	08:05:08:00	SHOULD HAVE FULL ACCESS AND
08:05:08:00	08:05:11:00	FULL CONTROL.
08:05:11:00	08:05:12:00	WELL, I HAVE SOME CONCERNS OVER
08:05:12:00	08:05:14:00	THE WET WEATHER $29 MILLION.
08:05:14:00	08:05:17:00	THAT ALTERNATIVE IS FEASIBLE.
08:05:17:00	08:05:18:00	I DO THINK WE COULD COME UP
08:05:18:00	08:05:21:00	WITH A REASONABLE SOLUTION FOR
08:05:21:00	08:05:21:00	THE BUDGETED AMOUNT THAT THE
08:05:21:00	08:05:22:00	CITY HAS PUT FORWARD A DESIGN
08:05:22:00	08:05:26:00	THAT IS IN LINE WITH THE
08:05:26:00	08:05:29:00	COMMUNITY'S PRIORITIES.
08:05:29:00	08:05:33:00	WATCHING 93 YEAR OLD DR. JEAN
08:05:33:00	08:05:34:00	MCGUIRE CONTINUING HER
08:05:34:00	08:05:37:00	UNWAVERING ADVOCACY FOR
08:05:37:00	08:05:38:00	CENTERING STUDENTS WAS TRULY
08:05:38:00	08:05:41:00	INSPIRING FOR ME.
08:05:41:00	08:05:42:00	VOTING IN SUPPORT OF THIS
08:05:42:00	08:05:46:00	RESOLUTION IS ABOUT GIVING THE
08:05:46:00	08:05:46:00	COMMUNITY THE OPPORTUNITY TO
08:05:46:00	08:05:49:00	REVIEW ALL OUTSTANDING PLANS
08:05:49:00	08:05:53:00	AND FULLY EXPLORE ALTERNATIVES
08:05:53:00	08:05:53:00	THEY'VE BEEN ADVOCATING FOR.
08:05:53:00	08:05:57:00	WHAT IS THE HARM IN PUTTING ALL
08:05:57:00	08:05:58:00	THE PLANS OUT HERE AND ALL THE
08:05:58:00	08:06:00:00	PROS AND CONS AND THEN
08:06:00:00	08:06:01:00	RESUMING?
08:06:01:00	08:06:04:00	WE OWE IT TO OUR RESIDENTS TO
08:06:04:00	08:06:05:00	ENSURE THEY HAVE ALL THE FACTS
08:06:05:00	08:06:07:00	BEFORE ANY CONSTRUCTION OF A
08:06:07:00	08:06:08:00	10,000 PLUS STADIUM MOVES
08:06:08:00	08:06:08:00	FORWARD.

08:06:30:00	08:06:33:00	WE WE CANNOT DEBATE THAT AFTER
08:06:33:00	08:06:33:00	THAT.
08:06:33:00	08:06:37:00	SO COUNCILOR DURKAN HAS CALLED

08:06:47:00	08:06:50:00	RESOLUTION.
08:06:50:00	08:06:51:00	BUT NOTE THE MOTION TO MOVE THE
