00:21:21:00	00:21:24:00	ATTENDANCE OVER 68% OF BAMA
00:21:24:00	00:21:24:00	WHILE SCHOLARS EITHER
00:21:24:00	00:21:25:00	MAINTAINED A HIGH ATTENDANCE
00:21:25:00	00:21:28:00	RATE WHICH WHEN WE SAY HIGH

00:21:38:00	00:21:39:00	AVERAGE ATTENDANCE RATE FOR OUR
00:21:39:00	00:21:44:00	SCHOLARS WAS 88%, GRADES 91%
00:21:44:00	00:21:44:00	OF BAMA WHILE SCHOLARS FAILED
00:21:44:00	00:21:47:00	NO MORE THAN ONE SEMESTER
00:21:47:00	00:21:47:00	COURSE AND OF COURSE SUBJECT
00:21:47:00	00:21:48:00	AREAS SUCH AS MATH, SCIENCE,
00:21:48:00	00:21:51:00	SOCIAL STUDIES OR LANGUAGE
00:21:51:00	00:21:51:00	ARTS.
00:21:51:00	00:21:52:00	THAT INDICATES THAT BAMA WHILE
00:21:52:00	00:21:54:00	SCHOLARS ARE STAYING ON TRACK
00:21:54:00	00:21:55:00	TOWARD GRADUATION AND OUR GOAL
00:21:55:00	00:21:55:00	OF 75%.
00:21:55:00	00:21:58:00	LASTLY GRADUATION RATES.
00:21:58:00	00:22:01:00	84% OF BAMA WHILE 12TH GRADERS
00:22:01:00	00:22:02:00	GRADUATE AT THE END OF THE AT
00:22:02:00	00:22:05:00	THE END OF THE ACADEMIC YEAR.

00:22:06:00	00:22:08:00	IS 80% REPORTED BY DC.
00:22:08:00	00:22:09:00	ONE THING THAT MAKES MY HEART
00:22:09:00	00:22:12:00	HURT RIGHT IS WHEN I HAVE A
00:22:12:00	00:22:13:00	PARENT ASK HOW DO I GET MY
00:22:13:00	00:22:15:00	YOUNG PERSON PARENT CAREGIVER
00:22:15:00	00:22:16:00	COMMUNITY FOLKS?
00:22:16:00	00:22:17:00	HOW DO I GET MY YOUNG PERSON
00:22:17:00	00:22:17:00	INVOLVED IN BAMA?
00:22:17:00	00:22:19:00	WELL AND THE QUESTION THAT I
00:22:19:00	00:22:20:00	HAVE TO ASK THEM IS WHAT SCHOOL
00:22:20:00	00:22:22:00	THEY GO TO AND IF THEY'RE NOT
00:22:22:00	00:22:22:00	IN ONE OF OUR 12 SCHOOLS THEN
00:22:22:00	00:22:23:00	THEY'RE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR
00:22:23:00	00:22:23:00	SERVICES.
00:22:23:00	00:22:26:00	SO FOR ME A DREAM IS THAT WE'RE
00:22:26:00	00:22:29:00	ABLE TO PROVIDE BAMA WHILE FOR
00:22:29:00	00:22:30:00	ANY YOUNG PERSON IN THE CITY
00:22:30:00	00:22:31:00	OF BOSTON THAT NEEDS IT.
00:22:31:00	00:22:33:00	SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I WANT
00:22:33:00	00:22:34:00	TO ALLOW THOMAS THERMIDOR AN
00:22:34:00	00:22:34:00	OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK BECAUSE I

00:22:38:00	00:22:39:00	LIKE HEARING FROM OUR YOUNG
00:22:39:00	00:22:40:00	PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY ARE THE
00:22:40:00	00:22:41:00	TRUE EXPERTS OF THEIR OWN

00:31:29:00	00:31:30:00	IGNORE THE REALITY THAT THESE
00:31:30:00	00:31:33:00	ATTACKS ARE ONLY THAT THESE
00:31:33:00	00:31:34:00	ATTACKS ARE ONLY ESCALATING.
00:31:34:00	00:31:37:00	WE KNOW THESE POLICIES ARE NOT
00:31:37:00	00:31:37:00	JUST POLITICAL THEATRICS.

00:32:01:00	00:32:04:00	TRANS JOY.
00:32:04:00	00:32:05:00	BOSTON MUST BE A PLACE WHERE WE
00:32:05:00	00:32:09:00	DO MORE THAN JUST SAY THAT WE

00:52:37:00	00:52:37:00	THANK YOU.
00:52:37:00	00:52:37:00	THANK YOU.
00:52:37:00	00:52:39:00	THE CHAIR CAN I JUST COME TO
00:52:39:00	00:52:40:00	FINANCE JANICE AND YOU HAVE THE
00:52:40:00	00:52:42:00	FLOOR.

00:52:43:00	00:52:43:00	POINTING THAT OUT.
00:52:43:00	00:52:46:00	I ACTUALLY AM IN STRONG SUPPORT
00:52:46:00	00:52:46:00	OF THAT.
00:52:46:00	00:52:50:00	I THINK THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY
00:52:50:00	00:52:51:00	PUT A HOLD AND ASK FOR A VOTE
00:52:51:00	00:52:54:00	THE FOLLOWING MEETING JUST
00:52:54:00	00:52:54:00	BECAUSE THE BREAK DOWN IS SUPER
00:52:54:00	00:52:58:00	IMPORTANT AND IT SPEAKS TO THE
00:52:58:00	00:52:58:00	EQUITY THAT WE ALL SEE HERE
00:52:58:00	00:53:02:00	THAT WE REPRESENT.
00:53:02:00	00:53:02:00	THANK YOU.
00:53:02:00	00:53:03:00	THE CHAIR AGONIZES
00:53:03:00	00:53:05:00	COUNCILOR HERE COMES FROM HERE
00:53:05:00	00:53:05:00	.
00:53:05:00	00:53:06:00	YOU GET THE FLOOR.
00:53:06:00	00:53:08:00	THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT AND I
00:53:08:00	00:53:09:00	WANT TO THANK THE CHAIR OF ARTS
00:53:09:00	00:53:12:00	AND CULTURE AND I ALSO WANT TO
00:53:12:00	00:53:13:00	THANK MY COLLEAGUE AT LARGE
00:53:13:00	00:53:16:00	MURPHY FOR ASKING THOSE VERY
00:53:16:00	00:53:16:00	IMPORTANT QUESTIONS BECAUSE I
00:53:16:00	00:53:19:00	WAS A LITTLE BIT CONFUSED.
00:53:19:00	00:53:20:00	I THOUGHT IT WAS CITYWIDE AND
00:53:20:00	00:53:23:00	THEN IT WENT LOCAL WHICH I HAVE
00:53:23:00	00:53:24:00	NO PROBLEM WITH SUPPORTING
00:53:24:00	00:53:27:00	LOCAL DISTRICTS.
00:53:27:00	00:53:27:00	BUT AS A CITYWIDE
00:53:27:00	00:53:30:00	COUNCILOR IT'D BE REALLY
00:53:30:00	00:53:31:00	IMPORTANT FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND
00:53:31:00	00:53:31:00	KIND OF THE BREAKDOWN AND
00:53:31:00	00:53:35:00	ENSURING EQUITY IS AT THE
00:53:35:00	00:53:35:00	FOREFRONT OF THOSE
00:53:35:00	00:53:35:00	CONVERSATIONS.
00:53:35:00	00:53:39:00	SO HAPPY TO WAIT TO A VOTE
00:53:39:00	00:53:39:00	UNLESS IT'S AN EMERGENCY AND I
00:53:39:00	00:53:42:00	DON'T WANT TO BE THE PERSON
00:53:42:00	00:53:43:00	THAT DENIES PEOPLE FROM THE
00:53:43:00	00:53:43:00	FUNDING THAT THEY NEED.
00:53:43:00	00:53:46:00	BUT IF IT'S NOT AN EMERGENCY
00:53:46:00	00:53:47:00	AND WE CAN WAIT THEN I WOULD DO
00:53:47:00	00:53:49:00	THAT AND IT'S AN EMERGENCY THEN
00:53:49:00	00:53:53:00	I WILL DEFER TO THE LEADERSHIP
00:53:53:00	00:53:53:00	.
00:53:53:00	00:53:54:00	THANK YOU.
00:53:54:00	00:53:55:00	IT SOUNDS LIKE TO ME HE HAD A
00:53:55:00	00:53:55:00	FURTHER QUESTION ABOUT THE
00:53:55:00	00:53:57:00	BREAKDOWN.
00:53:57:00	00:53:58:00	I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYONE
00:53:58:00	00:53:58:00	THAT THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES.
00:53:58:00	00:53:59:00	COUNCILOR DURKAN YOU HAVE THE
00:53:59:00	00:54:00:00	FLOOR.
00:54:00:00	00:54:01:00	SO FENWAY PARK FEST IS FUNDED
00:54:01:00	00:54:02:00	EVERY YEAR WITH THIS MONEY AND
00:54:02:00	00:54:07:00	IF IT'S NOT PASSED BECAUSE WE
00:54:07:00	00:54:08:00	HAVE TO WAIT TWO WEEKS I'M I AM
00:54:08:00	00:54:11:00	WORRIED ABOUT THEM BEING ABLE
00:54:11:00	00:54:12:00	TO GET THE MONEY IN TIME FOR
00:54:12:00	00:54:15:00	THE EVENT BUT I HONESTLY IT'S
00:54:15:00	00:54:16:00	NOT MY COMMITTEE SO I DEFER TO
00:54:16:00	00:54:16:00	THE CHAIR.
00:54:16:00	00:54:19:00	THANK YOU COUNCILOR HERE IF
00:54:19:00	00:54:20:00	YOU'D LIKE TO RESPOND YOU MAY.
00:54:20:00	00:54:22:00	YES I WOULD.

00:54:23:00	00:54:26:00	THERE'S LOTS OF DIFFERENT FARE
00:54:26:00	00:54:27:00	SO I JUST I AM A LITTLE BIT
00:54:27:00	00:54:30:00	CONFUSED LITTLE MORE SO THAN
00:54:30:00	00:54:30:00	EVER.
00:54:30:00	00:54:31:00	SO IF THERE IS A DEADLINE FOR
00:54:31:00	00:54:34:00	FED WAY SINCE THEY DO THEIR
00:54:34:00	00:54:35:00	SQUARES, I'M GOING TO ASSUME TO
00:54:35:00	00:54:38:00	MY COLLEAGUE THAT THAT'S
00:54:38:00	00:54:39:00	PROBABLY ONE OF THE REASONS WHY
00:54:39:00	00:54:41:00	YOU ONLY MENTIONED FENWAY.
00:54:41:00	00:54:45:00	BUT IF THERE IS A NEED THAT'S I

00:54:59:00	00:54:59:00	SOX GIVE THIS MONEY FOR THE
00:54:59:00	00:55:03:00	FENWAY BECAUSE FENWAY IS
00:55:03:00	00:55:03:00	IMPACTED BY THE CONCERTS AND
00:55:03:00	00:55:07:00	THE BALLGAMES ALL OF THE THINGS
00:55:07:00	00:55:07:00	THAT HAPPEN AT FENWAY PARK.

00:55:14:00	00:55:17:00	MONEY IT REALLY IS ABOUT EQUITY
00:55:17:00	00:55:18:00	IN THE SENSE THAT FENWAY HAS SO
00:55:18:00	00:55:21:00	MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE IMPACTED
00:55:21:00	00:55:22:00	BY THE EVENTS THAT HAPPEN AT

00:55:25:00	00:55:26:00	THIS MONEY IS.
00:55:26:00	00:55:26:00	IT'S NOT TIED TO THAT.
00:55:26:00	00:55:30:00	BUT THAT'S THAT'S THEIR INTENT

00:55:36:00	00:55:37:00	UNDERSTANDING OF IT.
00:55:37:00	00:55:40:00	BUT IT DOES READ THE GRANT WILL
00:55:40:00	00:55:41:00	FUND ART PROGRAMING COMMUNITY
00:55:41:00	00:55:44:00	EVENTS AND PARK OPERATIONS
00:55:44:00	00:55:45:00	ACROSS BOSTON AND I KNOW DORTCH
00:55:45:00	00:55:48:00	FEST WHICH WILL BE IN ITS
00:55:48:00	00:55:49:00	FOURTH YEAR NOW HAS TO SWITCH
00:55:49:00	00:55:52:00	FROM ASHMONT ADAMS TO THE
00:55:52:00	00:55:53:00	GREATER ASHMONT FOR SUPPORT AND
00:55:53:00	00:55:55:00	FUNDING.
00:55:55:00	00:55:56:00	SURE THEY CAN CONTINUE THAT
00:55:56:00	00:55:59:00	GREAT CULTURAL EVENT THAT WE
00:55:59:00	00:56:00:00	HAVE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THERE
00:56:00:00	00:56:02:00	IN DORCHESTER BUT I DO THINK
00:56:02:00	00:56:03:00	EITHER WE REFILE WITH A BETTER
00:56:03:00	00:56:07:00	DESCRIPTION I'M NOT SURE
00:56:07:00	00:56:08:00	THROUGH THE CHAIR TO THE CHAIR
00:56:08:00	00:56:10:00	COUNCIL FERNANDEZ SANDERSON
00:56:10:00	00:56:11:00	EVEN MAYBE IF THE WORDING WAS
00:56:11:00	00:56:14:00	CLEARER THAT THIS WAS COMMUNITY
00:56:14:00	00:56:14:00	MITIGATION WHICH I KNOW FENWAY
00:56:14:00	00:56:18:00	AND THE RED SOX FOUNDATION DOES
00:56:18:00	00:56:19:00	DO A LOT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
00:56:19:00	00:56:22:00	NEIGHBORS IN FENWAY WHICH I
00:56:22:00	00:56:23:00	ALONG WITH MY OTHER THREE
00:56:23:00	00:56:26:00	AT-LARGE COUNCILORS REPRESENT
00:56:26:00	00:56:27:00	SO NOT TRYING TO STOP FUNDING
00:56:27:00	00:56:28:00	TO THE FENWAY IN ANY WAY BUT
00:56:28:00	00:56:30:00	THIS WRITTEN AND SAYS THAT IT'S
00:56:30:00	00:56:31:00	CITYWIDE SO I DO THINK EITHER
00:56:31:00	00:56:34:00	THE MAYOR'S OFFICE HAS TO
00:56:34:00	00:56:34:00	CHANGE THE WORDING OF IT AND
00:56:34:00	00:56:37:00	REFILE IT OR WE NEED TO DISCUSS
00:56:37:00	00:56:38:00	WHAT OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY
00:56:38:00	00:56:41:00	COULD BENEFIT FROM THIS GREAT
00:56:41:00	00:56:41:00	DONATION.
00:56:41:00	00:56:42:00	THANK YOU.
00:56:42:00	00:56:45:00	THANK YOU SO WHAT I UNDERSTAND
00:56:45:00	00:56:46:00	IS THAT FOLKS WOULD LIKE A
00:56:46:00	00:56:49:00	BREAKDOWN OF WHAT THE GRANT IS
00:56:49:00	00:56:53:00	FOR THAT NOW THAT'S NOT
00:56:53:00	00:56:53:00	NECESSARILY A REQUEST I THINK
00:56:53:00	00:56:56:00	FOLKS ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THE
00:56:56:00	00:56:57:00	VOTE BUT IF THAT'S SOMETHING
00:56:57:00	00:57:00:00	THAT WE COULD PROVIDE AT SOME
00:57:00:00	00:57:00:00	POINT THE BREAKDOWN OF HOW THAT
00:57:00:00	00:57:04:00	SPENT, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT
00:57:04:00	00:57:05:00	WE COULD DO AT SOME POINT
00:57:05:00	00:57:05:00	PROVIDING A BREAKDOWN?
00:57:05:00	00:57:08:00	AN INDEPENDENT AND YOU HAVE THE
00:57:08:00	00:57:08:00	FLOOR.
00:57:08:00	00:57:09:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
00:57:09:00	00:57:11:00	I AGREE WE NEED A BREAK DOWN
00:57:11:00	00:57:15:00	EVEN IF IT COMES DOWN BEFORE
00:57:15:00	00:57:15:00	THE END OF THIS MEETING I'D BE
00:57:15:00	00:57:16:00	HAPPY TO SHARE WITH MY
00:57:16:00	00:57:19:00	COLLEAGUES I DO AGREE WITH
00:57:19:00	00:57:20:00	COUNCILOR DURKIN THAT IT SHOULD
00:57:20:00	00:57:22:00	PASS TODAY WHEN YOU ARE PUTTING
00:57:22:00	00:57:23:00	TOGETHER A BIG EVENT WE ALL
00:57:23:00	00:57:23:00	KNOW HOW IT IS.
00:57:23:00	00:57:26:00	THERE'S EXPENDITURES THAT NEEDS
00:57:26:00	00:57:27:00	TO BE DONE IN ADVANCE AND THE
00:57:27:00	00:57:28:00	PORCH PASSES THE FIRST WEEK
00:57:28:00	00:57:30:00	OF MAY FOR FENWAY AND IT IS
00:57:30:00	00:57:31:00	FAIR THAT HISTORICALLY WE HAVE
00:57:31:00	00:57:34:00	VOTED WHERE IT'S BEEN SPENT ONE
00:57:34:00	00:57:35:00	THIRD, ONE THIRD, ONE THIRD AND
00:57:35:00	00:57:36:00	IT IS FAIR THAT THEY GET THE
00:57:36:00	00:57:39:00	SHARE OF ONE THIRD BECAUSE IT
00:57:39:00	00:57:39:00	DOES YOU KNOW, IF YOU LIVE IN
00:57:39:00	00:57:42:00	FENWAY YOU KNOW HOW YOU'RE
00:57:42:00	00:57:43:00	IMPACTED AND THERE'S NO PARKING
00:57:43:00	00:57:43:00	LIVING THERE.
00:57:43:00	00:57:45:00	IT'S ENCROACHING UP ON THE
00:57:45:00	00:57:46:00	QUALITY OF LIFE ON THE
00:57:46:00	00:57:46:00	RESIDENTS THERE.
00:57:46:00	00:57:49:00	SO WE VOTED ON THIS BEFORE IT'S
00:57:49:00	00:57:50:00	BEEN SPENT.
00:57:50:00	00:57:50:00	WE DO HAVE EXAMPLES OF THIS
00:57:50:00	00:57:53:00	HAPPY TO ASK ADMINISTRATION TO
00:57:53:00	00:57:57:00	SEND DOWN SOMETHING IF WE CAN
00:57:57:00	00:57:58:00	RETURN TO THIS PLACE.
00:57:58:00	00:57:58:00	OKAY.
00:57:58:00	00:57:58:00	THANK YOU.
00:57:58:00	00:57:59:00	THE CHAIRMAN AS IS

00:58:01:00	00:58:02:00	SO IT'S FINE BUT THANK YOU FOR
00:58:02:00	00:58:02:00	THAT.
00:58:02:00	00:58:05:00	I DO AGREE BECAUSE IT SEEMS
00:58:05:00	00:58:08:00	LIKE FENWAY GETS $120,000 FOR
00:58:08:00	00:58:08:00	THEIR WATCH FEST WHICH I'VE
00:58:08:00	00:58:11:00	ATTENDED AND IT'S A WONDERFUL
00:58:11:00	00:58:12:00	EVENT BUT I THINK THAT WOULD BE
00:58:12:00	00:58:13:00	GREAT BEFORE THE END OF THE
00:58:13:00	00:58:13:00	MEETING.
00:58:13:00	00:58:15:00	SO IF WE COULD HOLD OFF ON THE
00:58:15:00	00:58:16:00	VOTE THAT INFORMATION WOULD BE
00:58:16:00	00:58:16:00	HELPFUL.
00:58:16:00	00:58:19:00	SO KNOW I'M VOTING IN THE RIGHT
00:58:19:00	00:58:19:00	WAY.

00:58:37:00	00:58:40:00	IF THERE'S A BREAK DOWN BECAUSE
00:58:40:00	00:58:41:00	MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT PEOPLE

00:58:41:00	00:58:43:00	WOULD LIKE A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT

01:06:03:00	01:06:04:00	COMMUNITIES WHO ARE TOO OFTEN
01:06:04:00	01:06:06:00	LEFT OUT OF THE OFFICIAL
01:06:06:00	01:06:06:00	NARRATIVE.
01:06:06:00	01:06:10:00	THERE WAS A REPORT AUTHORED BY
01:06:10:00	01:06:10:00	THE COMMEMORATION COMMITTEE
01:06:10:00	01:06:11:00	COMMITTEE STAFF THAT OUTLINED
01:06:11:00	01:06:14:00	SOME INTERNAL ISSUES THAT
01:06:14:00	01:06:14:00	CREATED THIS ORDINANCE.
01:06:14:00	01:06:15:00	THE REPORT WAS SUBMITTED TO
01:06:15:00	01:06:18:00	THIS COUNCIL DURING OUR
01:06:18:00	01:06:18:00	FEBRUARY 26TH MEETING AND IT
01:06:18:00	01:06:21:00	STATES THE FOLLOWING THE
01:06:21:00	01:06:22:00	CHALLENGES INCLUDING THE
01:06:22:00	01:06:26:00	MANIFESTED CHALLENGES OF THIS
01:06:26:00	01:06:26:00	COMMISSION INCLUDE BEING UNABLE
01:06:26:00	01:06:30:00	TO REACH QUORUM DUE TO THE SIZE
01:06:30:00	01:06:30:00	OF THE COMMISSION AND THE
01:06:30:00	01:06:33:00	INABILITY TO CREATE A FLESHED
01:06:33:00	01:06:34:00	OUT RECOMMENDATION FOR
01:06:34:00	01:06:37:00	COMMEMORATION ACTIVITIES AS
01:06:37:00	01:06:37:00	REQUIRED BY THE ORDINANCE.
01:06:37:00	01:06:38:00	AND I DO WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT
01:06:38:00	01:06:41:00	OUT TO OUR FORMER COLLEAGUE NOW
01:06:41:00	01:06:44:00	ADMINISTRATOR KENZIE BOK THIS
01:06:44:00	01:06:45:00	WAS AN EXTREMELY THOROUGH PIECE
01:06:45:00	01:06:48:00	OF LEGISLATION THAT WAS PASSED
01:06:48:00	01:06:51:00	ULTIMATELY I THINK IN DECEMBER
01:06:51:00	01:06:52:00	2021 THE WAY IN WHICH THAT THE
01:06:52:00	01:06:53:00	STRUCTURE OF THE COMMISSION IS
01:06:53:00	01:06:55:00	NOW IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM
01:06:55:00	01:06:56:00	TO MEET QUORUM AND IMPOSSIBLE
01:06:56:00	01:06:58:00	FOR THEM TO TAKE ON SOME OF THE
01:06:58:00	01:06:59:00	RESPONSIBILITIES AS AS I JUST
01:06:59:00	01:07:03:00	MENTIONED, THE COMMISSION AND
01:07:03:00	01:07:03:00	THE CITY STAFF HAVE WORK TO
01:07:03:00	01:07:06:00	UPDATE THE ORDINANCE FOUNDING
01:07:06:00	01:07:07:00	THE CON COMM WHICH SUCH THAT
01:07:07:00	01:07:10:00	THE CORM FOR THE COMMISSION
01:07:10:00	01:07:10:00	MEETINGS WILL BE REDUCED FROM
01:07:10:00	01:07:11:00	23 TO 19.
01:07:11:00	01:07:13:00	THE ORDINANCE ALSO HAS BEEN
01:07:13:00	01:07:14:00	UPDATED TO CHANGE THE
01:07:14:00	01:07:17:00	SUBCOMMITTEES INTO ADVISORY
01:07:17:00	01:07:18:00	COMMITTEES SO THAT THESE THREE
01:07:18:00	01:07:18:00	SUBCOMMITTEES WHICH ARE
01:07:18:00	01:07:21:00	CURRENTLY PUBLIC BODIES MIGHT
01:07:21:00	01:07:22:00	MIGHT ACT AS ADVISORY BODIES TO
01:07:22:00	01:07:24:00	THE COMMISSION INSTEAD THIS
01:07:24:00	01:07:25:00	WILL ALLOW FOR A DEDICATED
01:07:25:00	01:07:26:00	GROUP OF PEOPLE TO WORK ON
01:07:26:00	01:07:29:00	PLANNING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
01:07:29:00	01:07:29:00	THE UPCOMING COMMEMORATIONS
01:07:29:00	01:07:30:00	THAT THE COMMISSION CAN APPROVE
01:07:30:00	01:07:32:00	AND RECOMMEND TO RELEVANT CITY
01:07:32:00	01:07:33:00	TO PARTIES, CITY DEPARTMENTS
01:07:33:00	01:07:36:00	AND THE KEY CHANGES IN THIS
01:07:36:00	01:07:37:00	PROPOSED ORDINANCE INCLUDE
01:07:37:00	01:07:40:00	RESTRUCTURING A MEMBERSHIP AND
01:07:40:00	01:07:40:00	REDUCING IT.
01:07:40:00	01:07:41:00	SO AGAIN REDUCING THE
01:07:41:00	01:07:44:00	COMMISSION SIZE WHICH IS NOW 44
01:07:44:00	01:07:44:00	I THINK IT'S ONE OF THE LARGEST
01:07:44:00	01:07:48:00	THAT WE HAVE TO 39 MEMBERS BY
01:07:48:00	01:07:48:00	RE BY REMOVING CERTAIN
01:07:48:00	01:07:51:00	EX-OFFICIO POSITIONS IT ADDS
01:07:51:00	01:07:52:00	NEW REPRESENTATION INCLUDING
01:07:52:00	01:07:55:00	EMBRACE BOSTON THE DIRECTOR
01:07:55:00	01:07:55:00	OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION THE
01:07:55:00	01:07:59:00	BOSTON FOUNDATION THE
01:07:59:00	01:08:00:00	MASSACHUSETTS COMPETITIVE
01:08:00:00	01:08:00:00	PARTNERSHIP A HOSPITALITY
01:08:00:00	01:08:03:00	WORKER AND A REPRESENTATIVE
01:08:03:00	01:08:03:00	FROM CHARLESTOWN.
01:08:03:00	01:08:07:00	IT EXPANDS REPRESENTATION IN
01:08:07:00	01:08:07:00	BOSTON'S DIVERSE HISTORY
01:08:07:00	01:08:07:00	INCLUDING API INDIGENOUS,
01:08:07:00	01:08:11:00	BLACK, LATIN, LGBTQ I PLUS AND
01:08:11:00	01:08:12:00	WOMEN'S HISTORY.
01:08:12:00	01:08:15:00	IT ALSO MAKES LEADERSHIP AND
01:08:15:00	01:08:15:00	MEETING ADJUSTMENTS SO IT
01:08:15:00	01:08:18:00	ELECTS A CHAIR OR CO-CHAIRS
01:08:18:00	01:08:18:00	EVERY TWO YEARS INSTEAD
01:08:18:00	01:08:18:00	OF ANNUALLY.
01:08:18:00	01:08:22:00	IT REPLACES FORMAL
01:08:22:00	01:08:22:00	SUBCOMMITTEES WITH STAKEHOLDER
01:08:22:00	01:08:23:00	GROUPS REQUIRES THE CITY TO
01:08:23:00	01:08:26:00	ASSIGN TWO FULL TIME STAFF TO
01:08:26:00	01:08:29:00	SUPPORT THE COMMISSION AND HAS
01:08:29:00	01:08:32:00	A MEETING OPEN TO REVOLUTION TO
01:08:32:00	01:08:33:00	50 AND STATE LEVEL COMMISSIONS.
01:08:33:00	01:08:34:00	IT ALSO SHIFTS THE ROLE TO
01:08:34:00	01:08:37:00	ADVISORY AS I MENTIONED AND
01:08:37:00	01:08:40:00	MANDATES A MANDATE TO BUY
01:08:40:00	01:08:40:00	ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT TO
01:08:40:00	01:08:41:00	ENSURE TRANSPARENCY AND
01:08:41:00	01:08:44:00	ACCOUNTABILITY AND IT EXTENDS
01:08:44:00	01:08:47:00	THE COMMISSION BEYOND 2031.
01:08:47:00	01:08:48:00	SO IT ALLOWS THE COMMISSION TO
01:08:48:00	01:08:49:00	CONTINUE BEYOND JUNE 30TH, 2031
01:08:49:00	01:08:50:00	PROVIDED IT KEEPS SUBMITTING
01:08:50:00	01:08:53:00	REPORTS.
01:08:53:00	01:08:54:00	AND JUST TO TALK ABOUT THE
01:08:54:00	01:08:55:00	URGENCY, WE DID NOT HOLD A
01:08:55:00	01:08:58:00	HEARING ON THIS BUT I HAVE
01:08:58:00	01:08:58:00	REVIEWED THE AMENDMENTS AND I
01:08:58:00	01:08:59:00	MADE SURE THAT IT WAS INCLUDED
01:08:59:00	01:09:01:00	AS A COMMITTEE REPORT FOR THE
01:09:01:00	01:09:02:00	AGENDA SO MY COLLEAGUES COULD
01:09:02:00	01:09:05:00	REVIEW IF THEY WANTED TO.
01:09:05:00	01:09:05:00	IF WE DIDN'T PASS THIS TODAY
01:09:05:00	01:09:08:00	THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO HAVE
01:09:08:00	01:09:09:00	QUORUM ISSUES FOR SUBCOMMITTEE
01:09:09:00	01:09:09:00	MEETINGS AND FOR THE NEXT
01:09:09:00	01:09:12:00	MEETING ON THE 24TH WITH
01:09:12:00	01:09:13:00	ANOTHER WORKING GROUP MEETING
01:09:13:00	01:09:15:00	ON APRIL THE THIRD.
01:09:15:00	01:09:15:00	FOR THE BIGGER CONTEXT THERE'S
01:09:15:00	01:09:18:00	A LOT THAT THE COMMISSION IS
01:09:18:00	01:09:21:00	UNDERTAKING TO KICK OFF THE
01:09:21:00	01:09:21:00	250TH CELEBRATIONS ONE OF WHICH
01:09:21:00	01:09:26:00	BEING THE RIDE OF PAUL REVERE

01:09:33:00	01:09:36:00	MORE EVENT PLANNING AND
01:09:36:00	01:09:36:00	COLLABORATION.
01:09:36:00	01:09:37:00	AND SO AS CHAIR OF THE

01:20:45:00	01:20:46:00	SUPPORTER OF THE LGBTQ
01:20:46:00	01:20:49:00	COMMUNITY DURING MY 24 YEARS
01:20:49:00	01:20:53:00	OF SERVICE IN THE U.S. NAVY, I
01:20:53:00	01:20:53:00	SERVED ALONGSIDE MANY FROM THE
01:20:53:00	01:20:54:00	COMMUNITY.
01:20:54:00	01:20:57:00	WE'RE READY TO SACRIFICE AND
01:20:57:00	01:21:00:00	RISK THEIR LIVES FOR THE LOVE
01:21:00:00	01:21:01:00	OF THEIR COUNTRY.
01:21:01:00	01:21:02:00	IT WAS WRONG THAT THOUSANDS
01:21:02:00	01:21:05:00	OF LGBT Q PLUS SERVICE MEMBERS
01:21:05:00	01:21:08:00	WERE DENIED BENEFITS AND
01:21:08:00	01:21:09:00	ACTUALLY WERE DISCHARGED FROM
01:21:09:00	01:21:12:00	SERVICE SIMPLY FOR THE PERSON
01:21:12:00	01:21:14:00	THEY LOVED SINCE WORLD WAR TWO
01:21:14:00	01:21:15:00	AND MOST RECENTLY UNDER THE
01:21:15:00	01:21:19:00	DON'T ASK DON'T TELL POLICY
01:21:19:00	01:21:19:00	FROM 1994 TO 2000.
01:21:19:00	01:21:23:00	I GATHER AS THE ONLY VETERAN ON
01:21:23:00	01:21:26:00	THE COUNCIL I WILL CONTINUE TO
01:21:26:00	01:21:27:00	BE A STRONG ADVOCATE FOR THE
01:21:27:00	01:21:29:00	LGBTQ PLUS VETERANS.
01:21:29:00	01:21:30:00	BOSTON VETERANS COMMISSIONER
01:21:30:00	01:21:33:00	ROB SANTILLO SANTIAGO AND I
01:21:33:00	01:21:37:00	PREVIOUSLY ADVOCATED FOR THOSE
01:21:37:00	01:21:38:00	WHO HAVE HAD AN OTHER THAN
01:21:38:00	01:21:41:00	HONORABLE DISCHARGE STATUS
01:21:41:00	01:21:42:00	BECAUSE OF THEIR SEXUAL
01:21:42:00	01:21:45:00	ORIENTATION WHICH MADE THEM
01:21:45:00	01:21:45:00	INELIGIBLE FOR MANY VETERANS
01:21:45:00	01:21:46:00	AND THEY WERE ACTUALLY
01:21:46:00	01:21:48:00	DISCHARGED AND RECEIVED A LESS
01:21:48:00	01:21:52:00	THAN HONORABLE DISCHARGE.
01:21:52:00	01:21:56:00	UNABLE TO ACCESS SUCH AS THE GI
01:21:56:00	01:21:57:00	BILL OR ANY OTHER TYPE
01:21:57:00	01:22:00:00	OF BENEFITS MYSELF AND ROB
01:22:00:00	01:22:01:00	SANTIAGO ACTUALLY STARTED THE
01:22:01:00	01:22:05:00	CONVERSATION IN THIS COUNTRY TO
01:22:05:00	01:22:08:00	LOBBY CONGRESS THAT THOSE
01:22:08:00	01:22:12:00	DISCHARGES DISCHARGE PAPERS
01:22:12:00	01:22:13:00	SHOULD BE UPGRADED TO AN
01:22:13:00	01:22:15:00	HONORABLE, HONORABLE DISCHARGE
01:22:15:00	01:22:19:00	WHICH I HAVE.
01:22:19:00	01:22:19:00	IT WAS ALSO WRONG THAT THIS
01:22:19:00	01:22:20:00	JANUARY PRESIDENT TRUMP SIGNED
01:22:20:00	01:22:22:00	AN EXECUTIVE ORDER TO BAN
01:22:22:00	01:22:23:00	TRANSGENDER PEOPLE FROM JOINING
01:22:23:00	01:22:26:00	THE JOINING IN SERVING OPENLY
01:22:26:00	01:22:30:00	IN THE MILITARY AND AS WE KNOW
01:22:30:00	01:22:33:00	MANY ARE BEING DISCHARGED RIGHT
01:22:33:00	01:22:34:00	NOW UNDER UNDER SIMILAR
01:22:34:00	01:22:38:00	POLICIES.
01:22:38:00	01:22:41:00	ACCORDING TO A RESEARCH
01:22:41:00	01:22:42:00	INSTITUTE THAT FOCUSED ON
01:22:42:00	01:22:43:00	STUDYING AND ADVOCATING FOR
01:22:43:00	01:22:47:00	LGBTQ PLUS INCLUSION WITHIN THE
01:22:47:00	01:22:50:00	US MILITARY, THE PERCENT
01:22:50:00	01:22:51:00	OF TRANSGENDER SERVING IN THE
01:22:51:00	01:22:57:00	US MILITARY IS 1% WHICH IS
01:22:57:00	01:22:59:00	ABOUT 15,000 15,000 PEOPLE.
01:22:59:00	01:23:00:00	AGAIN, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE
01:23:00:00	01:23:04:00	WILLING TO MAKE THE SUPREME
01:23:04:00	01:23:04:00	SACRIFICE FOR THE COUNTRY.
01:23:04:00	01:23:05:00	THAT ALONE SHOULD SPEAK VOLUMES
01:23:05:00	01:23:10:00	AND WHY ANYTHING ELSE SHOULD
01:23:10:00	01:23:14:00	NOT BE ACCEPTED ESPECIALLY FOR
01:23:14:00	01:23:15:00	THOSE UNWILLING TO ESPECIALLY
01:23:15:00	01:23:15:00	FOR THOSE UNWILLING TO RISK
01:23:15:00	01:23:18:00	THEIR LIVES.
01:23:18:00	01:23:19:00	IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE SUPPORT
01:23:19:00	01:23:22:00	THOSE THAT HAVE THAT HAVE
01:23:22:00	01:23:23:00	JOINED THE MILITARY AND ARE
01:23:23:00	01:23:26:00	WILLING TO DO THAT AND IT
01:23:26:00	01:23:29:00	SHOULD NOT MATTER ON THEIR
01:23:29:00	01:23:29:00	STATUS.
01:23:29:00	01:23:33:00	WE SHOULD NEVER DISCRIMINATE
01:23:33:00	01:23:34:00	AGAINST THOSE WHO WANT TO SERVE
01:23:34:00	01:23:35:00	OUR COUNTRY BASED ON THEIR
01:23:35:00	01:23:37:00	GENDER SEXUAL ORIENTATION.
01:23:37:00	01:23:38:00	THEY SHOULD ALWAYS BE A PLACE
01:23:38:00	01:23:41:00	FOR THOSE WHO SERVE IN THE
01:23:41:00	01:23:41:00	UNITED STATES MILITARY WITH
01:23:41:00	01:23:41:00	PRIDE.
01:23:41:00	01:23:44:00	LIKE ALL TROOPS, THEY DESERVE
01:23:44:00	01:23:45:00	TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT AND
01:23:45:00	01:23:45:00	DIGNITY.
01:23:45:00	01:23:48:00	I REALIZE THIS IS MORE OF A
01:23:48:00	01:23:52:00	FEDERAL ISSUE BUT IT'S STILL
01:23:52:00	01:23:52:00	IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY'RE ALSO
01:23:52:00	01:23:56:00	OUR NEIGHBORS AS WELL.
01:23:56:00	01:23:56:00	AND I'VE SEEN FIRSTHAND THE
01:23:56:00	01:23:59:00	SACRIFICES THAT THEY'VE MADE TO
01:23:59:00	01:24:00:00	THIS COUNTRY.
01:24:00:00	01:24:03:00	IN SEPTEMBER I'LL JUST BE
01:24:03:00	01:24:04:00	ANOTHER MINUTE MADAM CHAIR
01:24:04:00	01:24:10:00	OF US IN SEPTEMBER 2022 WHEN

01:24:13:00	01:24:13:00	CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.

01:24:21:00	01:24:21:00	AND PARENTS WHO WERE ATTACKED.
01:24:21:00	01:24:24:00	I ALSO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE
01:24:24:00	01:24:25:00	IMPORTANT WORK OF FENWAY

01:29:06:00	01:29:09:00	STUMBLING OVER THIS SPEECH
01:29:09:00	01:29:10:00	TODAY IT'S BECAUSE IT WAS
01:29:10:00	01:29:13:00	WRITTEN BY A.I. AND PRIVACY AND
01:29:13:00	01:29:16:00	SECURITY NEED TO BE FRONT AND
01:29:16:00	01:29:17:00	CENTER.
01:29:17:00	01:29:20:00	MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE CONCERNS
01:29:20:00	01:29:21:00	OF OUR AI EFFECTS WORKERS.
01:29:21:00	01:29:22:00	A LOT OF PEOPLE WORRY THAT I
01:29:22:00	01:29:25:00	WILL TAKE JOBS OR DEVALUE WORK
01:29:25:00	01:29:26:00	THAT PUBLIC EMPLOYEES DO.
01:29:26:00	01:29:29:00	AND THAT'S WHY CITY UNIONS HAVE
01:29:29:00	01:29:29:00	TO BE CORE TO THIS
01:29:29:00	01:29:29:00	CONVERSATION.
01:29:29:00	01:29:33:00	THIS IS ABOUT PEOPLE.
01:29:33:00	01:29:33:00	IT'S ABOUT EFFICIENCY.
01:29:33:00	01:29:33:00	SURE.
01:29:33:00	01:29:36:00	BUT MORE THAN ANYTHING IT IS
01:29:36:00	01:29:37:00	ABOUT RUNNING A CITY WELL, AND
01:29:37:00	01:29:38:00	THE PEOPLE DOING THAT WORK ARE
01:29:38:00	01:29:40:00	THE ONES THAT WE NEED TO CENTER
01:29:40:00	01:29:40:00	IN THIS CONVERSATION.
01:29:40:00	01:29:44:00	THEY KNOW WHAT WORKS, THEY KNOW
01:29:44:00	01:29:44:00	WHAT DOESN'T AND THEY KNOW THAT
01:29:44:00	01:29:47:00	ANY AI ADOPTION HAS TO REFLECT
01:29:47:00	01:29:48:00	THEIR EXPORT EXPERIENCE NOT
01:29:48:00	01:29:48:00	SIDELINE IT.
01:29:48:00	01:29:52:00	SOME WILL SAY BOSTON NEEDS TO
01:29:52:00	01:29:52:00	MOVE FASTER ON AI ADOPTION
01:29:52:00	01:29:55:00	WHILE OTHERS WILL WORRY THAT AI
01:29:55:00	01:29:56:00	WILL REPLACE YOU AND WORKERS.
01:29:56:00	01:29:56:00	THAT'S WHAT THIS CONVERSATION
01:29:56:00	01:29:59:00	IS ALL ABOUT.
01:29:59:00	01:30:00:00	AND TO PROVE MY POINT I HELPED
01:30:00:00	01:30:03:00	WRITE THIS IT WAS USED TO
01:30:03:00	01:30:03:00	ORGANIZE THE RESEARCH BUT
01:30:03:00	01:30:06:00	OBVIOUSLY I HAD TO REVIEW IT.
01:30:06:00	01:30:07:00	I HAD TO THINK ABOUT WHAT I
01:30:07:00	01:30:07:00	WANTED IT TO SAY.
01:30:07:00	01:30:10:00	I HAD TO THINK ABOUT THE
01:30:10:00	01:30:11:00	MESSAGE I WANTED TO CONVEY.
01:30:11:00	01:30:14:00	AND BY THE WAY, GENERAL AI IS
01:30:14:00	01:30:15:00	DIFFERENT THAN ALL OF THE OTHER
01:30:15:00	01:30:18:00	THINGS WE CAN UNLOCK WITH
01:30:18:00	01:30:22:00	TRAFFIC SIGNALS PUBLIC HEALTH.
01:30:22:00	01:30:23:00	WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS HAVE
01:30:23:00	01:30:24:00	THIS BROAD CONVERSATION THAT'S
01:30:24:00	01:30:27:00	NOT JUST ABOUT YOU TALKING TO
01:30:27:00	01:30:31:00	JAGDEEP OR YOU TALKING TO A
01:30:31:00	01:30:31:00	THING THAT'S HAVING A DELUSION.
01:30:31:00	01:30:34:00	NOT ALL AI IS GOOD NOT ALL AI
01:30:34:00	01:30:34:00	IS HELPFUL.

01:30:37:00	01:30:38:00	COFFEE WITH CONGRESSWOMAN

01:39:59:00	01:40:00:00	I WAS JUST WONDERING I'M NOT
01:40:00:00	01:40:03:00	SURE BUT CAN LIKE IS AN
01:40:03:00	01:40:04:00	ELEVATOR A THING THAT A SCHOOL
01:40:04:00	01:40:06:00	COULD HAVE?
01:40:06:00	01:40:07:00	WE HAVE A NUMBER OF KIDS IN OUR
01:40:07:00	01:40:10:00	SCHOOL WHO ARE DISABLED OR
01:40:10:00	01:40:11:00	DIFFERENTLY ABLED AND WHO CAN'T
01:40:11:00	01:40:11:00	TAKE THE STAIRS AND THE WAY
01:40:11:00	01:40:14:00	THAT MY HEART DROPPED WHEN THE
01:40:14:00	01:40:15:00	STUDENT CAME TO ME WITH THIS
01:40:15:00	01:40:16:00	QUESTION THINK THAT AN ELEVATOR
01:40:16:00	01:40:18:00	WAS A PRIVILEGE.
01:40:18:00	01:40:19:00	WE TALK ABOUT ALL OF OUR
01:40:19:00	01:40:22:00	SCHOOLS YOU KNOW THE NUMBER
01:40:22:00	01:40:23:00	OF OUR SCHOOLS THAT NEED ACTUAL
01:40:23:00	01:40:26:00	LIBRARIES OR THE LIBRARIAN OR
01:40:26:00	01:40:26:00	SO MANY OF OUR KIDS GO TO
01:40:26:00	01:40:27:00	SCHOOLS THAT DON'T HAVE A PLACE
01:40:27:00	01:40:30:00	FOR THEM TO PLAY BASKETBALL OR
01:40:30:00	01:40:30:00	TO ENJOY SPORTS.
01:40:30:00	01:40:33:00	WE HAVE OUR FACILITIES REPORT
01:40:33:00	01:40:37:00	THAT HAS SHOWN THAT LESS THAN I
01:40:37:00	01:40:38:00	IT'S 27 OF OUR SCHOOLS SCORE
01:40:38:00	01:40:41:00	MORE THAN A 50 ON AN OVERALL ON
01:40:41:00	01:40:44:00	THE OVERALL FACILITIES REPORT
01:40:44:00	01:40:44:00	CARD AND THAT'S JUST NOT ENOUGH
01:40:44:00	01:40:48:00	FOR DECADES WE'VE TRIED TO MOVE
01:40:48:00	01:40:48:00	THE NEEDLE ON TEST SCORES,
01:40:48:00	01:40:51:00	GRADUATION RATES AND CURRICULUM
01:40:51:00	01:40:52:00	INNOVATION AND YET THE CRITICAL
01:40:52:00	01:40:52:00	FOUNDATIONAL ELEMENT
01:40:52:00	01:40:56:00	OF EDUCATION ITSELF THE
01:40:56:00	01:40:56:00	BUILDINGS WHERE OUR KIDS SPEND
01:40:56:00	01:40:59:00	THEIR FORMATIVE YEARS ARE TOO
01:40:59:00	01:41:00:00	OFTEN CRUMBLING.
01:41:00:00	01:41:03:00	I GO BACK TO MY ELEMENTARY
01:41:03:00	01:41:03:00	SCHOOL THE TAILOR AND MY
01:41:03:00	01:41:04:00	NOSTALGIA LOVES IT BECAUSE IT
01:41:04:00	01:41:07:00	LOOKS THE SAME BUT THAT IS PART
01:41:07:00	01:41:07:00	OF THE PROBLEM OUR SCHOOLS NEED
01:41:07:00	01:41:10:00	TO BE MEETING THIS MOMENT
01:41:10:00	01:41:11:00	OF EDUCATING OUR KIDS ON ISSUES
01:41:11:00	01:41:14:00	OF STEM AND STEAM OF ARTS
01:41:14:00	01:41:14:00	SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY,
01:41:14:00	01:41:18:00	ENGINEERING, ARTS AND
01:41:18:00	01:41:19:00	MATHEMATICS AND THEY CAN'T DO
01:41:19:00	01:41:20:00	THAT IN BUILDINGS THAT WERE
01:41:20:00	01:41:22:00	BUILT IN THE EARLY 1900S.
01:41:22:00	01:41:25:00	SO THIS IDEA IS ONE THAT MY
01:41:25:00	01:41:26:00	OFFICE HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT
01:41:26:00	01:41:26:00	NOODLING YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN
01:41:26:00	01:41:29:00	HAVING OUR COCOA HOURS.
01:41:29:00	01:41:29:00	WE'VE TALKED TO PEOPLE WHO WORK
01:41:29:00	01:41:30:00	IN EDUCATION ABOUT WHAT IT
01:41:30:00	01:41:33:00	WOULD LOOK LIKE TO HAVE A
01:41:33:00	01:41:34:00	DEDICATED DEPARTMENT IN IN THE
01:41:34:00	01:41:37:00	CITY OF BOSTON THAT JUST
01:41:37:00	01:41:38:00	FOCUSED ON OUR SCHOOL BUILDINGS
01:41:38:00	01:41:41:00	AND THAT CAN ALSO DO THE WORK
01:41:41:00	01:41:42:00	OF OF HAVING DEDICATED REVENUE
01:41:42:00	01:41:44:00	STREAMS TO BUILD SCHOOLS THAT
01:41:44:00	01:41:45:00	ARE WORTHY OF THE DIGNITY
01:41:45:00	01:41:48:00	OF ALL OF OUR KIDS.
01:41:48:00	01:41:48:00	AND SO THERE'S BEEN WE'VE BEEN
01:41:48:00	01:41:49:00	WE'VE BEEN RETHINKING PLANNING,
01:41:49:00	01:41:52:00	MANAGING AND MAINTAINING AND
01:41:52:00	01:41:52:00	BUILDING OUR SCHOOL FACILITIES
01:41:52:00	01:41:55:00	BUT WITHOUT A COHERENT PLAN TO
01:41:55:00	01:41:55:00	DO SO.
01:41:55:00	01:41:56:00	AND SO THIS IS WORK THAT WE'VE
01:41:56:00	01:41:59:00	BEEN DOING IN MY OFFICE IN
01:41:59:00	01:42:00:00	CONVERSATION WITH A NUMBER
01:42:00:00	01:42:00:00	OF PEOPLE WE'VE SEEN CLOSURES
01:42:00:00	01:42:03:00	LIKE THE WEST ROXBURY
01:42:03:00	01:42:03:00	EDUCATIONAL COMPLEX AND THE
01:42:03:00	01:42:04:00	JACKSON MAN BOTH DRIVEN BY
01:42:04:00	01:42:07:00	DECADES OF DEFERRED MAINTENANCE
01:42:07:00	01:42:08:00	AND AS THEY DISPLACE HUNDREDS
01:42:08:00	01:42:10:00	OF STUDENTS AND LEFT ENTIRE
01:42:10:00	01:42:11:00	NEIGHBORHOODS WITHOUT ESSENTIAL
01:42:11:00	01:42:14:00	EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND
01:42:14:00	01:42:15:00	SO I LOOK FORWARD TO THE
01:42:15:00	01:42:16:00	CONTINUED WORK HERE BECAUSE
01:42:16:00	01:42:18:00	IT'S REALLY ABOUT HOW CAN WE AS
01:42:18:00	01:42:19:00	MUCH AS WE CAN DE-POLITICIZE
01:42:19:00	01:42:20:00	THE IMPORTANT WORK OF BUILDING
01:42:20:00	01:42:23:00	NEW SCHOOLS, OF ENSURING THAT
01:42:23:00	01:42:23:00	OUR KIDS REGARDLESS
01:42:23:00	01:42:26:00	OF NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE ACCESS TO
01:42:26:00	01:42:26:00	QUALITY SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
01:42:26:00	01:42:27:00	AND SO HAVING THIS DEDICATED
01:42:27:00	01:42:30:00	AND I WANT TO SHUT OUT OUR
01:42:30:00	01:42:31:00	CAPITAL PLANNING DEPARTMENT, I
01:42:31:00	01:42:34:00	WANT TO SHUT OUT OF FACILITIES
01:42:34:00	01:42:34:00	BECAUSE THEY DO GREAT WORK THIS
01:42:34:00	01:42:36:00	IS THAT IDEA ABOUT
01:42:36:00	01:42:37:00	CONSOLIDATION, ABOUT USING OUR
01:42:37:00	01:42:38:00	FISCAL STRENGTH HERE, OUR
01:42:38:00	01:42:41:00	TRIPLE A BOND RATING TO REALLY
01:42:41:00	01:42:41:00	BE DOING THE WORK OF INVESTING
01:42:41:00	01:42:44:00	IN OUR CITY AND IN OUR SCHOOLS.
01:42:44:00	01:42:45:00	I KNOW I'M I'VE I'VE SPOKEN
01:42:45:00	01:42:48:00	LONGER THAN I SHOULD AND I'M
01:42:48:00	01:42:49:00	GOING TO KEEP MYSELF TO WHAT I
01:42:49:00	01:42:49:00	KEEP EVERYONE ELSE TO.
01:42:49:00	01:42:52:00	I HAVE A LOT MORE TO SAY BUT
01:42:52:00	01:42:52:00	WE'LL BE DOING MORE OF THAT
01:42:52:00	01:42:53:00	DISCUSSION IN THE HEARING.
01:42:53:00	01:42:53:00	THANK YOU COUNCILOR.
01:42:53:00	01:42:56:00	COUNSELOR THANK YOU,

01:42:56:00	01:42:59:00	THANK YOU, MR CHAIR.
01:42:59:00	01:43:00:00	AND I JUST WANT TO THANK
01:43:00:00	01:43:00:00	COUNSELOR PRESIDENT LOUIJEUNE
01:43:00:00	01:43:03:00	FOR ADDING ME AS AN ORIGINAL
01:43:03:00	01:43:04:00	CO-SPONSOR TO THIS ORDER TO
01:43:04:00	01:43:07:00	EXPLORE THE CREATION OF THE
01:43:07:00	01:43:07:00	BOSTON SCHOOL BUILDING
01:43:07:00	01:43:10:00	AUTHORITY WHICH I LOVE IT
01:43:10:00	01:43:11:00	BECAUSE DECADES OF NEGLECT IN
01:43:11:00	01:43:14:00	OUR FACILITIES HAVE LEFT US
01:43:14:00	01:43:15:00	BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DEFERRED
01:43:15:00	01:43:15:00	MAINTENANCE AND OFTENTIMES
01:43:15:00	01:43:19:00	DREAMS AND THAT AT A TIME RIGHT
01:43:19:00	01:43:21:00	NOW WHAT PEOPLE ARE ASKING US
01:43:21:00	01:43:22:00	DO IS TO ACT.
01:43:22:00	01:43:25:00	WE NEED AN INDEPENDENT ENTITY
01:43:25:00	01:43:26:00	FOCUSED ON ACCESSING PLANNING
01:43:26:00	01:43:26:00	AND OVERSEEING SCHOOL
01:43:26:00	01:43:30:00	FACILITIES WITH A CLEAR LONG
01:43:30:00	01:43:30:00	TERM VISION.
01:43:30:00	01:43:31:00	WE'RE SEEING THE CONSEQUENCES
01:43:31:00	01:43:34:00	OF INACTION SIMPLY OUTRIGHT AT
01:43:34:00	01:43:37:00	MADISON PARK FOR DECADES,
01:43:37:00	01:43:38:00	PARENTS, STUDENTS, EDUCATORS
01:43:38:00	01:43:38:00	AND THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY HAVE
01:43:38:00	01:43:42:00	BEEN TOLD WAIT THAT FUNDING
01:43:42:00	01:43:42:00	WILL COME, THAT IMPROVEMENTS
01:43:42:00	01:43:45:00	ARE ON THE WAY.
01:43:45:00	01:43:46:00	BUT THEN WE'VE BEEN ASKED AGAIN
01:43:46:00	01:43:49:00	TO WAIT FOR FAR TOO LONG AND
01:43:49:00	01:43:50:00	THE NEEDS REMAIN UNMET.
01:43:50:00	01:43:53:00	I'M ALSO GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE
01:43:53:00	01:43:54:00	THE BLACKSTONE THAT IT'S BEEN
01:43:54:00	01:43:56:00	SINCE 2018 WHEN I WAS DOING
01:43:56:00	01:43:57:00	PARENT ORGANIZING I WAS GOING
01:43:57:00	01:44:00:00	TO THE VP'S SCHOOL COMMITTEE
01:44:00:00	01:44:03:00	MEETINGS AND FIGHTING ALONGSIDE
01:44:03:00	01:44:04:00	THE BLACKSTONE COMMUNITY.
01:44:04:00	01:44:05:00	UNTIL THIS DAY THEY'RE STILL
01:44:05:00	01:44:08:00	FIGHTING AND HOPING AND PRAYING
01:44:08:00	01:44:11:00	THAT THEY HAVE WALLS IN THEIR
01:44:11:00	01:44:11:00	FACILITY.
01:44:11:00	01:44:12:00	SO I THINK THAT THIS IS AN
01:44:12:00	01:44:13:00	OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO REALLY
01:44:13:00	01:44:16:00	HOLD OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE.
01:44:16:00	01:44:19:00	I OFTENTIMES SAY THAT SCHOOL
01:44:19:00	01:44:23:00	CLOSURES AND DISPLACEMENT ARE I
01:44:23:00	01:44:24:00	FEEL LIKE GENTRIFICATION AND WE
01:44:24:00	01:44:27:00	ARE CAUSING HARM AND TRAUMA TO
01:44:27:00	01:44:30:00	COMMUNITIES THAT ARE ALREADY
01:44:30:00	01:44:31:00	UNSTABLE.
01:44:31:00	01:44:31:00	IT IS REALLY TRAUMATIC WHEN YOU
01:44:31:00	01:44:34:00	GET UPROOTED FROM A COMMUNITY
01:44:34:00	01:44:35:00	THAT YOU HAVE GROWN TO FEEL
01:44:35:00	01:44:38:00	COMFORTABLE AND SAFE IN AND
01:44:38:00	01:44:41:00	THEN YOU ARE ASKED TO CLOSE
01:44:41:00	01:44:42:00	BUILDING DOWN IT IS REALLY
01:44:42:00	01:44:43:00	TRAUMATIC AND I THINK IT'S
01:44:43:00	01:44:45:00	IMPORTANT FOR US TO CENTER
01:44:45:00	01:44:45:00	THAT.
01:44:45:00	01:44:46:00	JUST YESTERDAY I WENT TO THE
01:44:46:00	01:44:49:00	PRESS CONFERENCE THAT THE
01:44:49:00	01:44:50:00	FAMILIES FROM THE DENVER AND
01:44:50:00	01:44:53:00	THE LYONS WAS HOSTING.
01:44:53:00	01:44:57:00	IT BEEPS TO FIGHT, KEEP THEIR
01:44:57:00	01:44:57:00	DOORS OPEN AND YOU COULD SEE
01:44:57:00	01:45:00:00	THE TRAUMA AND IMPACT OF WHAT
01:45:00:00	01:45:01:00	IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN WE'RE ALWAYS
01:45:01:00	01:45:04:00	FIGHTING FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE WE
01:45:04:00	01:45:05:00	DESERVE.
01:45:05:00	01:45:05:00	OUR OFFICE HAS CALLED HEARINGS
01:45:05:00	01:45:08:00	ON THE GREEN NEW DEAL.
01:45:08:00	01:45:09:00	WE'VE HEARD BOLD PROMISES.
01:45:09:00	01:45:12:00	WE'VE HEARD THE DEEP
01:45:12:00	01:45:13:00	FRUSTRATION FROM FAMILIES WHO
01:45:13:00	01:45:15:00	ARE TIRED OF DELAYS AND
01:45:15:00	01:45:16:00	SHIFTING PRIORITIES THE NEED
01:45:16:00	01:45:17:00	FOR REAL TRANSPARENT AND
01:45:17:00	01:45:19:00	COMMUNITY DRIVEN MASTER
01:45:19:00	01:45:19:00	FACILITY PLAN IS URGENT.
01:45:19:00	01:45:23:00	WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO LEAVE OUR
01:45:23:00	01:45:23:00	STUDENTS AND COMMUNITIES IN

01:45:26:00	01:45:27:00	PARTICIPATING IN THIS HEARING
01:45:27:00	01:45:28:00	TO HELP PUSH FOR REAL
01:45:28:00	01:45:30:00	ACCOUNTABILITY, TRANSPARENCY
01:45:30:00	01:45:31:00	AND A LONG TERM PLAN THAT
01:45:31:00	01:45:32:00	CENTERS THE VOICES OF FAMILIES,
01:45:32:00	01:45:34:00	EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS IN EVERY
01:45:34:00	01:45:34:00	NEIGHBORHOOD.

01:45:43:00	01:45:45:00	AGO WE BOLDLY HAD THE AUDACITY
01:45:45:00	01:45:49:00	TO THINK THAT WE AS CITY
01:45:49:00	01:45:50:00	COUNCILORS CAN STOP DISPLACING
01:45:50:00	01:45:54:00	THE O'BRIEN AND MOVING IT FROM
01:45:54:00	01:45:54:00	THE O'BRIEN TO WEST ROXBURY.
01:45:54:00	01:45:57:00	IT GOES TO SHOW THAT WHEN THERE

01:46:43:00	01:46:46:00	GUESS THAT WE SPENT $230
01:46:46:00	01:46:50:00	MILLION ON JOSIAH UPPER QUINCY
01:46:50:00	01:46:53:00	UPPER SCHOOL AND WE'RE LOOKING
01:46:53:00	01:46:54:00	AT $750 MILLION TO MADISON PARK
01:46:54:00	01:46:54:00	THERE.
01:46:54:00	01:46:57:00	WE WILL NEED MORE THAN $3
01:46:57:00	01:46:58:00	BILLION TO REALLY REPLACE AND
01:46:58:00	01:47:01:00	RENOVATE MAJORITY OF OUR
01:47:01:00	01:47:04:00	SCHOOLS OVER THE NEXT 20 TO 30
01:47:04:00	01:47:04:00	YEARS.
01:47:04:00	01:47:07:00	ALTHOUGH THE MSP MBA PROCESS IS
01:47:07:00	01:47:08:00	SLOW I BELIEVE WE CAN'T LEAVE
01:47:08:00	01:47:11:00	THE MONEY ON THE TABLE THERE.
01:47:11:00	01:47:11:00	20% OF OUR SALES TAX GOES TO
01:47:11:00	01:47:15:00	THAT AND WE'RE SIMPLY NOT
01:47:15:00	01:47:15:00	GETTING OUR FAIR SHARE OF IT.
01:47:15:00	01:47:16:00	I'M GLAD THAT THE CITY HAS
01:47:16:00	01:47:19:00	REFINED ITS APPLICATION AND WE
01:47:19:00	01:47:20:00	HAVE TWO NEW SCHOOLS ADDED TO
01:47:20:00	01:47:21:00	THAT PIPELINE IN THE PAST TWO
01:47:21:00	01:47:22:00	YEARS BUT WE CAN'T JUST DO ONE
01:47:22:00	01:47:25:00	NEW SCHOOL YEAR AND IF WE ONLY
01:47:25:00	01:47:26:00	DO ONE SCHOOL YEAR, GENERATIONS
01:47:26:00	01:47:29:00	OF STUDENTS WOULD NOT BENEFIT
01:47:29:00	01:47:30:00	OF THE INVESTMENTS THAT WE ARE
01:47:30:00	01:47:30:00	MAKING IN OUR SCHOOLS.
01:47:30:00	01:47:33:00	OUR CITY NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO
01:47:33:00	01:47:33:00	BUILD AND RENOVATE SCHOOLS A
01:47:33:00	01:47:34:00	LOT QUICKER THAN THAT.

01:47:41:00	01:47:41:00	AN AUTHORITY THAT CAN WORK IN

01:47:45:00	01:47:48:00	REVENUE STREAMS DEDICATED RIGHT
01:47:48:00	01:47:49:00	A PORTION OF THAT REVENUE TO BE
01:47:49:00	01:47:52:00	DEDICATED TO BUILDING OUR
01:47:52:00	01:47:52:00	SCHOOLS.

01:48:17:00	01:48:21:00	TERM PLANNING, IMPROVING COST
01:48:21:00	01:48:21:00	MANAGEMENT IS GREAT BUT I DO

01:48:29:00	01:48:29:00	PARTICULARLY ABOUT THE ADDED
01:48:29:00	01:48:33:00	BUREAUCRACY.
01:48:33:00	01:48:34:00	I COULD APPRECIATE THAT FROM A
01:48:34:00	01:48:36:00	POLICY PERSPECTIVE IT DOES
01:48:36:00	01:48:37:00	OFFER MORE CONSTRUCTION CONTROL
01:48:37:00	01:48:40:00	FROM THE CITY BUT WE ALREADY WE
01:48:40:00	01:48:44:00	CURRENTLY HAVE A MASSACHUSETTS
01:48:44:00	01:48:48:00	SCHOOL BUILDING AUTHORITY SO I
01:48:48:00	01:48:48:00	GUESS YOU KNOW, IT'S QUESTIONS
01:48:48:00	01:48:49:00	OF POP UP IN MY MIND AND I WANT
01:48:49:00	01:48:52:00	TO SEE THOSE NUMBERS ABOUT
01:48:52:00	01:48:55:00	PARTICULARLY THE CONFLICTS
01:48:55:00	01:48:56:00	THERE AND IF IT WOULD BE ANY
01:48:56:00	01:48:59:00	TYPE OF CONTROL ISSUES SINCE
01:48:59:00	01:49:03:00	MASS ALREADY HAS ONE AND WHAT
01:49:03:00	01:49:04:00	DOES THAT LOOK LIKE AND THEN
01:49:04:00	01:49:07:00	ADDED AGAIN IN TERMS OF ADDED
01:49:07:00	01:49:10:00	BUREAUCRACIES AND ADDED BUDGETS

01:49:11:00	01:49:14:00	OF THE BUDGET ALLOCATIONS AND
01:49:14:00	01:49:18:00	APPROVAL YOU KNOW THAT CAN GO
01:49:18:00	01:49:18:00	IN INITIAL SET UP COSTS.
01:49:18:00	01:49:21:00	THIS WOULD BE AN ENTIRELY NEW
01:49:21:00	01:49:24:00	CONSTRUCTION STAFF AND
01:49:24:00	01:49:25:00	OPERATIONAL COSTS TO GO WITH
01:49:25:00	01:49:25:00	IT.
01:49:25:00	01:49:29:00	SO JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
01:49:29:00	01:49:29:00	CONVERSATION.
01:49:29:00	01:49:30:00	I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA IN THE
01:49:30:00	01:49:32:00	LONG TERM BUT WITH ALL OF THE
01:49:32:00	01:49:35:00	CONCERNS ABOUT BUDGET

01:49:37:00	01:49:40:00	BUILDING TO CREATE THE

01:49:48:00	01:49:52:00	SCHOOL THEN WE'RE BUILDING
01:49:52:00	01:49:52:00	ANOTHER ENTITY SO THAT WE CAN

01:50:03:00	01:50:06:00	HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND BUT
01:50:06:00	01:50:07:00	I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO
01:50:07:00	01:50:07:00	TALK ABOUT.
01:50:07:00	01:50:07:00	THANK YOU.
01:50:07:00	01:50:08:00	THANK YOU.

01:50:09:00	01:50:13:00	FLOOR AND I ALSO HAVE A LOT
01:50:13:00	01:50:13:00	OF QUESTIONS SO LOOKING FORWARD
01:50:13:00	01:50:16:00	TO THE HEARING BUT I DO JUST
01:50:16:00	01:50:19:00	WANT TO UPLIFT THAT BACK ON THE
01:50:19:00	01:50:19:00	FIRST COUNCIL MEETING OF THIS
01:50:19:00	01:50:23:00	YEAR YOU CO-SPONSORED WITH
01:50:23:00	01:50:24:00	ME COUNCIL WERE THE CLOSURE AND
01:50:24:00	01:50:26:00	LONG TERM FACILITIES PLAN.
01:50:26:00	01:50:27:00	SO I AM ENCOURAGING THE CHAIR
01:50:27:00	01:50:30:00	OF EDUCATION THAT WAS BACK ON
01:50:30:00	01:50:31:00	JANUARY 8TH TO GET THAT
01:50:31:00	01:50:31:00	HEARING.
01:50:31:00	01:50:34:00	I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
01:50:34:00	01:50:35:00	THE ADMINISTRATION IS
01:50:35:00	01:50:37:00	TRANSPARENT AND SO WE'RE ALMOST
01:50:37:00	01:50:38:00	A THREE MONTHS SINCE THAT WAS
01:50:38:00	01:50:38:00	FILED AND I KNOW MY OFFICE
01:50:38:00	01:50:41:00	CONTINUES TO REACH OUT TO TRY
01:50:41:00	01:50:42:00	TO GET THAT ON THE BOOKS AND
01:50:42:00	01:50:44:00	MAKE SURE THE ADMINISTRATION
01:50:44:00	01:50:45:00	COMES IN AND TALKS TO US ABOUT
01:50:45:00	01:50:46:00	THE PLANS THEY ALREADY HAVE.
01:50:46:00	01:50:48:00	AND WE KNOW THAT THERE'S YOU
01:50:48:00	01:50:49:00	KNOW, PLANS THAT THEY'RE NOT
01:50:49:00	01:50:52:00	BEING VERY SHARE SHARING WITH.
01:50:52:00	01:50:53:00	AND THEN MY COUNCILOR MEJIA
01:50:53:00	01:50:56:00	SAID WE'RE TALKING WITH PARENTS
01:50:56:00	01:50:56:00	, STUDENTS, TEACHERS, SCHOOL
01:50:56:00	01:51:00:00	COMMUNITIES THAT JUST FEEL LIKE
01:51:00:00	01:51:00:00	THEY'VE BEEN BETRAYED IN
01:51:00:00	01:51:05:00	ALONGSIDE WITH COUNCIL HERE AND
01:51:05:00	01:51:05:00	THEN UNDERSTAND UNDERSTANDING
01:51:05:00	01:51:06:00	AND PROBABLY SEVERAL OTHER
01:51:06:00	01:51:08:00	OF US DID BACK ON THE O'BRIEN
01:51:08:00	01:51:11:00	SO YOU KNOW THERE'S TIMES WHEN
01:51:11:00	01:51:12:00	WE WANT THE COMMUNITY VOICE TO
01:51:12:00	01:51:13:00	BE HEARD BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO
01:51:13:00	01:51:15:00	MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT STOPPING
01:51:15:00	01:51:15:00	FUNDING.
01:51:15:00	01:51:16:00	AND ONE OF THE REASONS WHERE
01:51:16:00	01:51:19:00	WE'RE DELAYING MADISON PARK IS
01:51:19:00	01:51:20:00	NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO THE ROUTE
01:51:20:00	01:51:22:00	OF, YOU KNOW, THE MASS BUILDING
01:51:22:00	01:51:23:00	AUTHORITY SO WE NEVER WANT TO
01:51:23:00	01:51:26:00	TURN AWAY MONEY ESPECIALLY WHEN
01:51:26:00	01:51:27:00	WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO
01:51:27:00	01:51:27:00	TIMES WHEN WE PROBABLY DON'T
01:51:27:00	01:51:30:00	HAVE ENOUGH.
01:51:30:00	01:51:31:00	BUT YOU KNOW, I SPENT 24 YEARS
01:51:31:00	01:51:34:00	WORKING IN THE SCHOOLS WHEN IT
01:51:34:00	01:51:34:00	SCHOOLS MY KIDS ATTENDED THESE
01:51:34:00	01:51:38:00	SCHOOLS AND ANYONE WHO'S IN
01:51:38:00	01:51:38:00	MOST OF OUR BUILDINGS NEED A
01:51:38:00	01:51:39:00	LOT OF HELP AND WE NEED TO JUST
01:51:39:00	01:51:42:00	REALLY GET TO THE WORK BUT WANT
01:51:42:00	01:51:42:00	TO HAVE THIS HEARING AND REALLY
01:51:42:00	01:51:45:00	DECIDE IT IS ANOTHER OFFICE
01:51:45:00	01:51:46:00	GOING TO GET US WHAT WE WANT
01:51:46:00	01:51:49:00	BECAUSE I DO BELIEVE WHAT WE
01:51:49:00	01:51:50:00	WANT IN THE END IS THAT OUR
01:51:50:00	01:51:50:00	STUDENTS, OUR FAMILIES AND OUR
01:51:50:00	01:51:53:00	COMMUNITIES HAVE THE BUILDINGS
01:51:53:00	01:51:53:00	THEY DESERVE.
01:51:53:00	01:51:54:00	SO THANK YOU AND I HOPE WE GET
01:51:54:00	01:51:57:00	THAT HEARING SOON BECAUSE I DO
01:51:57:00	01:51:57:00	THINK IT'S TWO SEPARATE
01:51:57:00	01:51:58:00	CONVERSATIONS ONE TO REALLY
01:51:58:00	01:52:01:00	KNOW WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION
01:52:01:00	01:52:02:00	ALREADY HAS PLANNED AND NOT
01:52:02:00	01:52:05:00	JUST SHARE IT OUT IN PIECEMEAL
01:52:05:00	01:52:05:00	AND THAT'S WHEN I KNOW THAT THE
01:52:05:00	01:52:08:00	COMMUNITY START TO FEEL LIKE
01:52:08:00	01:52:08:00	THEY'RE BEING TRICKED AND THEN
01:52:08:00	01:52:12:00	ONCE YOU LOSE THEIR TRUST IT'S
01:52:12:00	01:52:13:00	HARDER FOR US TO ADVOCATE FOR
01:52:13:00	01:52:13:00	THE CHANGES THAT WE NEED.
01:52:13:00	01:52:17:00	THANK YOU, CHAIR THANK YOU.
01:52:17:00	01:52:17:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
01:52:17:00	01:52:17:00	COUNCILOR BREADON.
01:52:17:00	01:52:20:00	COUNCILOR YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
01:52:20:00	01:52:23:00	THANK YOU, MR CHAIR AND I THANK
01:52:23:00	01:52:27:00	YOU MADAM PRESIDENT, FOR
01:52:27:00	01:52:27:00	BRINGING THIS FORWARD.
01:52:27:00	01:52:31:00	I THINK IT'S FOR PAST TIME TO
01:52:31:00	01:52:32:00	LOOK AT ALL OF THIS.
01:52:32:00	01:52:35:00	YOU KNOW, WE THINK ABOUT IT.
01:52:35:00	01:52:35:00	IT'S BEEN DECADES.
01:52:35:00	01:52:36:00	WE'VE HAD A FEW NEW BUILDINGS,
01:52:36:00	01:52:39:00	NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS BUILT IN
01:52:39:00	01:52:40:00	THE LAST DECADE PROBABLY.
01:52:40:00	01:52:43:00	BUT BEFORE THAT THERE WAS A
01:52:43:00	01:52:43:00	LONG, LONG TIME PROBABLY BACK
01:52:43:00	01:52:46:00	TO THE 1970S WHEN WE HADN'T
01:52:46:00	01:52:47:00	BUILT ANY MANY SCHOOLS AT ALL.
01:52:47:00	01:52:49:00	AND YOU KNOW, MANY OF OUR
01:52:49:00	01:52:50:00	SCHOOLS ARE NEIGHBORHOOD BASED
01:52:50:00	01:52:54:00	AT A TIME WHEN CHILDREN WERE
01:52:54:00	01:52:54:00	STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO WALK TO
01:52:54:00	01:52:57:00	SCHOOL, THEY WEREN'T TRAVELING
01:52:57:00	01:53:00:00	ACROSS THE CITY, ETC. AND SO
01:53:00:00	01:53:01:00	MANY DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES IN
01:53:01:00	01:53:01:00	EDUCATION NOW.
01:53:01:00	01:53:05:00	SO AS WE COMPARE OUR SCHOOL
01:53:05:00	01:53:05:00	FACILITIES WITH THOSE OF MAYBE
01:53:05:00	01:53:09:00	MORE SUBURBAN SCHOOL DISTRICTS,
01:53:09:00	01:53:10:00	WE HAVE A LOT OF CATCHING UP TO
01:53:10:00	01:53:10:00	DO.
01:53:10:00	01:53:13:00	I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE ENSURE
01:53:13:00	01:53:13:00	THAT WE HAVE GOOD GOOD
01:53:13:00	01:53:16:00	DEMOGRAPHIC DATA AND WE NEED TO
01:53:16:00	01:53:17:00	HAVE SOME BETTER WAYS TO
01:53:17:00	01:53:20:00	PROJECT ENROLLMENT GOING
01:53:20:00	01:53:23:00	FORWARD AS THE CITY OF BOSTON
01:53:23:00	01:53:24:00	SORT OF SPLIT OFF THE SCHOOL
01:53:24:00	01:53:27:00	FACILITIES MANAGEMENT AND
01:53:27:00	01:53:28:00	BUILDING PLAN FROM PUBLIC
01:53:28:00	01:53:31:00	FACILITIES WAY BACK IN THE
01:53:31:00	01:53:32:00	1960S AND I THINK WE ENDED UP I
01:53:32:00	01:53:35:00	THINK ONE I THINK I I DON'T
01:53:35:00	01:53:36:00	KNOW FOR SURE BUT I REALLY FEEL
01:53:36:00	01:53:39:00	THAT THAT'S THAT WAS ONE OF THE
01:53:39:00	01:53:40:00	CAUSES OF WHY WE'RE IN THIS
01:53:40:00	01:53:42:00	THIS INCREDIBLE BACKLOG
01:53:42:00	01:53:45:00	OF MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP
01:53:45:00	01:53:46:00	OF OUR SCHOOLS BECAUSE THERE'S
01:53:46:00	01:53:50:00	BATHROOMS FOR EXAMPLE BECAUSE
01:53:50:00	01:53:50:00	WE HAVEN'T INVESTED
01:53:50:00	01:53:54:00	APPROPRIATELY IN OUR SCHOOL
01:53:54:00	01:53:54:00	BUILDINGS OVER MANY, MANY
01:53:54:00	01:53:55:00	DECADES.
01:53:55:00	01:53:58:00	MY I ALSO FEEL STRONGLY THAT IF
01:53:58:00	01:53:59:00	WE'RE GOING TO INVEST BILLIONS
01:53:59:00	01:53:59:00	OF PUBLIC DOLLARS INTO
01:53:59:00	01:54:02:00	BUILDINGS SCHOOL BUILDINGS THAT
01:54:02:00	01:54:03:00	THEY OUGHT TO BE OPEN FOR MORE
01:54:03:00	01:54:06:00	EXTENDED AND THAT THEY ARE THAT
01:54:06:00	01:54:07:00	THEY BECOME TRULY COMMUNITY
01:54:07:00	01:54:10:00	AMENITIES, COMMUNITY ASSETS

01:54:18:00	01:54:19:00	EXPENSIVE TO BUILD SCHOOLS BUT
01:54:19:00	01:54:21:00	THE SCHOOLS THAT WE BUILD
01:54:21:00	01:54:22:00	SHOULD BE COMMUNITY ASSETS THAT

01:54:25:00	01:54:28:00	MONTHS A YEAR, NOT 24 SEVEN

01:54:31:00	01:54:34:00	A YEAR AND I LOOK FORWARD TO

01:56:44:00	01:56:45:00	I'M FILING THIS HEARING ORDER
01:56:45:00	01:56:48:00	TODAY TO REVIEW THE CHANGES
01:56:48:00	01:56:49:00	MADE TO TREMONT STREET IN MY
01:56:49:00	01:56:52:00	DISTRICT ON THE SOUTH END IN
01:56:52:00	01:56:52:00	2018 THE BOSTON TRANSPORTATION
01:56:52:00	01:56:56:00	DEPARTMENT STARTED THE THREE
01:56:56:00	01:56:56:00	MONTHS STREET DESIGN PROJECT
01:56:56:00	01:56:59:00	WITH A STATED GOAL TO IMPROVE
01:56:59:00	01:56:59:00	IMPROVE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
01:56:59:00	01:57:03:00	VISIBILITY AT INTERSECTIONS,
01:57:03:00	01:57:04:00	SLOW TRAFFIC AND CREATE SAFER
01:57:04:00	01:57:04:00	BIKE LANES.
01:57:04:00	01:57:07:00	THE DESIGN OF OUR STREETS HAS A
01:57:07:00	01:57:07:00	BIG IMPACT ON THE QUALITY
01:57:07:00	01:57:10:00	OF LIFE AND SAFETY RESIDENTS AS
01:57:10:00	01:57:11:00	WELL AS THE ECONOMIC SUCCESS OR
01:57:11:00	01:57:15:00	FAILURE OF LOCAL BUSINESSES.
01:57:15:00	01:57:15:00	WHILE COMMUNITY MEETINGS WERE
01:57:15:00	01:57:18:00	HELD, THE FAILING FROM
01:57:18:00	01:57:19:00	NEIGHBORS WAS THAT THE CHANGES
01:57:19:00	01:57:22:00	WERE IMPLEMENTED WITH MINIMAL
01:57:22:00	01:57:22:00	COLLABORATION IN RESIDENTS
01:57:22:00	01:57:26:00	VOICES WERE NOT HEARD DURING

01:57:26:00	01:57:30:00	ON BOTH SIDES OF TREMONT STREET
01:57:30:00	01:57:31:00	RESULTED IN A ROAD DIET AND A
01:57:31:00	01:57:34:00	REDUCTION OF ROAD SPACE TO
01:57:34:00	01:57:34:00	ACCOMMODATE DEDICATED BIKE
01:57:34:00	01:57:37:00	LANES WITH WITH BARRIERS OVER
01:57:37:00	01:57:41:00	THE LAST YEAR I HAVE STARTED TO

01:57:42:00	01:57:45:00	SMALL BUSINESSES WITH EXPRESSED
01:57:45:00	01:57:45:00	THAT THE ROAD DIET WHICH HAS
01:57:45:00	01:57:49:00	RESULTED IN ONE TRAVEL LANE IN
01:57:49:00	01:57:49:00	EITHER DIRECTION DIED FROM ON
01:57:49:00	01:57:53:00	STREET THAT THE REMOVAL OF ROAD
01:57:53:00	01:57:55:00	SPACE AND VISIT A PARKING SPACE
01:57:55:00	01:57:56:00	THAT HIT THAT IT HAS HAD AND
01:57:56:00	01:58:00:00	MADE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR
01:58:00:00	01:58:01:00	COMMERCIAL AND DELIVERY
01:58:01:00	01:58:04:00	VEHICLES WHAT PATRONS LOOKING
01:58:04:00	01:58:05:00	TO PARK VISITORS LOOKING TO GO
01:58:05:00	01:58:07:00	TO THE LIBRARY MONTHS AGO I
01:58:07:00	01:58:08:00	SPECIFICALLY MET WITH SMALL
01:58:08:00	01:58:11:00	BUSINESS HOLDERS ALONG TREMONT
01:58:11:00	01:58:14:00	STREET.
01:58:14:00	01:58:14:00	ONE WOMAN OWNED BUSINESS THAT
01:58:14:00	01:58:18:00	HAD BEEN IN BOSTON SINCE THE
01:58:18:00	01:58:18:00	1970S WHO SAID THAT THEY ARE
01:58:18:00	01:58:21:00	LOSING TENS OF THOUSANDS
01:58:21:00	01:58:22:00	OF DOLLARS EACH MONTH DUE TO

01:58:33:00	01:58:34:00	VISIT AND SPEND THEIR MONEY IN
01:58:34:00	01:58:34:00	THE SOUTH END CANNOT FIND
01:58:34:00	01:58:37:00	PARKING.
01:58:37:00	01:58:37:00	RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES HAVE
01:58:37:00	01:58:41:00	ASKED ME TO PITCH IT FROM OUR
01:58:41:00	01:58:42:00	STREET AT RUSH HOUR WITH A ROAD
01:58:42:00	01:58:44:00	DIET THAT REMOVES A TRAFFIC

01:58:56:00	01:58:56:00	TRAFFIC.
01:58:56:00	01:58:57:00	THEY ASKED ME TO THINK ABOUT
01:58:57:00	01:59:00:00	BAD WEATHER OR A SNOWSTORM HOW
01:59:00:00	01:59:01:00	DIFFICULT IT WILL BE FOR OUR
01:59:01:00	01:59:04:00	DEDICATED FIRST RESPONDERS THE
01:59:04:00	01:59:04:00	POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE BOSTON

01:59:08:00	01:59:12:00	AREA THE LIMITED ROAD SPACE IN
01:59:12:00	01:59:12:00	AN EMERGENCY.
01:59:12:00	01:59:16:00	WE KNOW THAT THERE WAS A MAJOR
01:59:16:00	01:59:17:00	FIRE IN THE SOUTH END IN
01:59:17:00	01:59:19:00	ROXBURY NEAR MASSIVE CHAOS ON
01:59:19:00	01:59:19:00	SUNDAY.
01:59:19:00	01:59:20:00	WE THANK THE BOSTON FIRE
01:59:20:00	01:59:22:00	DEPARTMENT FOR THEIR BRAVERY
01:59:22:00	01:59:26:00	AND COURAGE IN THEIR RESPONSE.
01:59:26:00	01:59:27:00	THERE WAS A PHOTO THAT ANOTHER
01:59:27:00	01:59:30:00	SMALL BUSINESS OWNER SENT TO
01:59:30:00	01:59:31:00	ME THAT I SHARED IN THE PAST
01:59:31:00	01:59:34:00	TRAVELING THE SAME WAY DOWN THE
01:59:34:00	01:59:34:00	STREET.
01:59:34:00	01:59:35:00	THE PHOTO SHOWED A COMMERCIAL
01:59:35:00	01:59:37:00	DELIVERY TRUCK, PARKED A
01:59:37:00	01:59:38:00	GARBAGE TRUCK THEN IN THE
01:59:38:00	01:59:41:00	MIDDLE OF THE STREET PARKED
01:59:41:00	01:59:42:00	OVER THE MEDIAN DOUBLE YELLOW
01:59:42:00	01:59:46:00	LINES AND THEN AN MBTA BUS
01:59:46:00	01:59:46:00	GOING AROUND THEM TRAVELING
01:59:46:00	01:59:50:00	DOWN THE WRONG WAY OF THE
01:59:50:00	01:59:50:00	STREET.
01:59:50:00	01:59:51:00	THE POINT IS NOT TO SUGGEST
01:59:51:00	01:59:54:00	THAT THIS IS OKAY.
01:59:54:00	01:59:54:00	NO SERIOUS PERSON CONDONES THAT
01:59:54:00	01:59:57:00	BUT THE PHOTO DOES ILLUSTRATE
01:59:57:00	01:59:58:00	THAT OUR DECISIONS HAVE
01:59:58:00	02:00:01:00	CONSEQUENCES.
02:00:01:00	02:00:02:00	ANY TIME WE MAKE A DECISION WE
02:00:02:00	02:00:02:00	NEED TO CONSIDER LONG TERM

02:00:16:00	02:00:17:00	THE LIFEBLOOD OF OUR ECONOMY.
02:00:17:00	02:00:20:00	THEY NEED TO MAKE DELIVERIES
02:00:20:00	02:00:20:00	INCLUDING ALONG MAJOR
02:00:20:00	02:00:21:00	COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS.
02:00:21:00	02:00:24:00	RESIDENTS WANT TO GET
02:00:24:00	02:00:25:00	COFFEE FOR GOODS OR TO PARK

02:01:05:00	02:01:06:00	FILING THIS.
02:01:06:00	02:01:07:00	I OF COURSE ABOUT YOUR DISTRICT
02:01:07:00	02:01:09:00	AND THE CONSTITUENTS IN MY
02:01:09:00	02:01:13:00	DISTRICT WHICH SHARES FREMONT
02:01:13:00	02:01:13:00	HAS EXPRESSED APPARENTLY THAT
02:01:13:00	02:01:17:00	THEY ARE IN OPPOSITION
02:01:17:00	02:01:17:00	OPPOSITION TO THIS.
02:01:17:00	02:01:21:00	I DO HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT
02:01:21:00	02:01:22:00	IT BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY CYCLING'S
02:01:22:00	02:01:25:00	A GOOD THING.
02:01:25:00	02:01:25:00	SAFE STREETS IS A GOOD THING
02:01:25:00	02:01:29:00	AND BUT HERE IN THIS AREA
02:01:29:00	02:01:29:00	CONSTITUENTS HAVE SHOWN THAT IT
02:01:29:00	02:01:32:00	WOULD ENCROACH ON THE SMALL
02:01:32:00	02:01:33:00	BUSINESSES DISPLACING SMALL
02:01:33:00	02:01:36:00	BUSINESSES LIKE WHAT'S TAKING
02:01:36:00	02:01:37:00	PLACE IN EDISON SQUARE AND LIKE
02:01:37:00	02:01:39:00	THE CONCERN THE CONCERN ON BLUE
02:01:39:00	02:01:40:00	HILL AVENUE.
02:01:40:00	02:01:41:00	SO I LOOK FORWARD TO THE
02:01:41:00	02:01:45:00	HEARING AND THE CONVERSATIONS I
02:01:45:00	02:01:48:00	HAVE PROPOSED AS A
02:01:48:00	02:01:48:00	TRANSPORTATION.
02:01:48:00	02:01:51:00	WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY NEXT
02:01:51:00	02:01:52:00	THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE A CROSS
02:01:52:00	02:01:54:00	NEIGHBORHOOD TRANSPORTATION
02:01:54:00	02:01:55:00	STUDY TO UNDERSTAND IMPACTS
02:01:55:00	02:01:59:00	FROM NEIGHBORHOODS TO
02:01:59:00	02:01:59:00	NEIGHBORHOODS BUT ALSO
02:01:59:00	02:02:02:00	SPECIFICALLY TO ALTERNATIVES TO
02:02:02:00	02:02:06:00	MIDDLE LANE OR BIKE LANES AND
02:02:06:00	02:02:07:00	IT WAS IT WAS THE CONVERSATIONS
02:02:07:00	02:02:10:00	WERE POSITIVE BUT IT'S YET TO
02:02:10:00	02:02:10:00	COME TO FRUITION.
02:02:10:00	02:02:14:00	SO I THINK I'M INTERESTED IN
02:02:14:00	02:02:14:00	FILING SOME SORT OF ORDER FOR A
02:02:14:00	02:02:17:00	STUDY WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY
02:02:17:00	02:02:18:00	LOOK AT THE IMPACTS WE CAN
02:02:18:00	02:02:21:00	UNDERSTAND ACROSS THE CITY HOW
02:02:21:00	02:02:22:00	ONE DEVELOPMENT TRANSPORTATION
02:02:22:00	02:02:25:00	DEVELOPMENT IS IMPACTING
02:02:25:00	02:02:25:00	ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD.
02:02:25:00	02:02:26:00	SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
02:02:26:00	02:02:29:00	CONVERSATION AND THANK YOU.
02:02:29:00	02:02:30:00	THANK YOU.
02:02:30:00	02:02:30:00	THE CHAIR AGAIN AS AS
02:02:30:00	02:02:31:00	COUNCILOR DURKAN HAS A
02:02:31:00	02:02:31:00	DARKENING OF THE FLOOR.
02:02:31:00	02:02:33:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH AND THANK YOU
02:02:33:00	02:02:33:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN FOR PUTTING
02:02:33:00	02:02:36:00	THIS FORWARD.
02:02:36:00	02:02:37:00	I KNOW THAT WE ARE HAVING A
02:02:37:00	02:02:40:00	CONVERSATION CITY WIDE ABOUT
02:02:40:00	02:02:41:00	WHAT BUS INFRASTRUCTURE AND
02:02:41:00	02:02:45:00	WHAT BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE AND
02:02:45:00	02:02:48:00	WHAT CURB SIDE REGULATIONS WE
02:02:48:00	02:02:49:00	NEED TO HAVE.
02:02:49:00	02:02:52:00	BUT I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
02:02:52:00	02:02:53:00	WITH EVERY BIKE LANE THAT HAS
02:02:53:00	02:02:54:00	BEEN BUILT IN THE CITY WE
02:02:54:00	02:02:56:00	ABSOLUTELY HAVE SAVED LIVES
02:02:56:00	02:02:57:00	WITH EVERY BIKE LANE THAT
02:02:57:00	02:03:00:00	HASN'T BEEN BUILT WITH EVERY
02:03:00:00	02:03:00:00	PROTECTION THAT DOES NOT EXIST
02:03:00:00	02:03:03:00	WITH EVERY BARRIER THAT DOES
02:03:03:00	02:03:04:00	NOT EXIST.
02:03:04:00	02:03:04:00	WE HAVE HAD INJURIES IN
02:03:04:00	02:03:07:00	DISTRICT EIGHT.
02:03:07:00	02:03:10:00	WE HAVE HAD TWO DEATHS ONE ON
02:03:10:00	02:03:14:00	SCOOTER AND ONE ON A PEDESTRIAN
02:03:14:00	02:03:15:00	ROAD SINCE I'VE BEEN IN OFFICE
02:03:15:00	02:03:18:00	AND I THINK FOR ME PEDESTRIAN
02:03:18:00	02:03:18:00	SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THE
02:03:18:00	02:03:22:00	MOST VULNERABLE ROAD USERS ARE
02:03:22:00	02:03:23:00	PEOPLE THAT WE DO NEED TO
02:03:23:00	02:03:26:00	PRIORITIZE IN ADDITION TO
02:03:26:00	02:03:27:00	BUSINESSES IN ADDITION TO OTHER
02:03:27:00	02:03:30:00	VOICES AND RESIDENTS.
02:03:30:00	02:03:30:00	AND IT'S ALL VERY COMPLICATED
02:03:30:00	02:03:33:00	EVERY SINGLE STREET IS
02:03:33:00	02:03:37:00	DIFFERENT BUT I JUST I AM
02:03:37:00	02:03:38:00	AFRAID THAT THE CONVERSATION IN
02:03:38:00	02:03:40:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON HAS REALLY
02:03:40:00	02:03:48:00	GOTTEN SORT OF THAT WE'VE
02:03:48:00	02:03:48:00	BECOME A LITTLE BIT
02:03:48:00	02:03:49:00	DESENSITIZED TO THE
02:03:49:00	02:03:52:00	CONVERSATION AROUND SAFETY AND
02:03:52:00	02:03:55:00	I CAN TELL YOU I HAD A RECENT
02:03:55:00	02:03:56:00	EXPERIENCE ON A BIKE THAT HAS
02:03:56:00	02:04:00:00	PUT ME OFF OF A BIKE FOR TWO
02:04:00:00	02:04:00:00	WEEKS.
02:04:00:00	02:04:03:00	FOR TWO MONTHS I WAS HECKLED.
02:04:03:00	02:04:04:00	SOMEONE BEHIND ME SAID YOU
02:04:04:00	02:04:07:00	BETTER MOVE YOU FAT B-WORD
02:04:07:00	02:04:11:00	BEHIND ME WHILE I WAS BIKING IN
02:04:11:00	02:04:12:00	AN AREA THAT DID NOT HAVE A
02:04:12:00	02:04:15:00	PROTECTED BIKE LANE AND I DO
02:04:15:00	02:04:16:00	NEED TO SHARE THAT THERE'S A
02:04:16:00	02:04:16:00	LOT OF TRAUMA THAT PEOPLE THAT
02:04:16:00	02:04:19:00	ARE RIDING ON TWO WHEELS FEEL
02:04:19:00	02:04:20:00	IN THE CITY AND AS WE'RE
02:04:20:00	02:04:23:00	REACHING SUMMER MONTHS BLUE
02:04:23:00	02:04:27:00	BIKES OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE
02:04:27:00	02:04:29:00	RIDING ON THEIR OWN TWO WHEELED
02:04:29:00	02:04:33:00	DEVICES, THEY DO GET HECKLED.
02:04:33:00	02:04:34:00	THEY ARE IMPACTED BY THE
02:04:34:00	02:04:35:00	CONVERSATION THAT WE HAVE AT
02:04:35:00	02:04:37:00	THE CITY COUNCIL AND I DO THINK
02:04:37:00	02:04:38:00	IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE
02:04:38:00	02:04:41:00	REALIZE THAT IN THE CULTURE WAR
02:04:41:00	02:04:44:00	THAT IS HAPPENING AROUND BIKES
02:04:44:00	02:04:45:00	AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE WE DO
02:04:45:00	02:04:48:00	NEED TO CENTER THOSE THAT ARE
02:04:48:00	02:04:48:00	MOST VULNERABLE PEDESTRIANS
02:04:48:00	02:04:52:00	BIKE USERS, PEOPLE ON TWO
02:04:52:00	02:04:53:00	WHEELS AND THAT'S SOMETHING
02:04:53:00	02:04:55:00	THAT I HAVE STOOD BEHIND.
02:04:55:00	02:04:59:00	I RAN ON BEING SOMEONE WHO IS
02:04:59:00	02:05:00:00	FOR SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE STREETS
02:05:00:00	02:05:03:00	AND I WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT
02:05:03:00	02:05:03:00	AND IF THIS IS PLACED IN MY
02:05:03:00	02:05:04:00	COMMITTEE I THINK WE REALLY
02:05:04:00	02:05:05:00	NEED TO HAVE A NUANCED
02:05:05:00	02:05:07:00	CONVERSATION ABOUT WHO IS
02:05:07:00	02:05:08:00	VULNERABLE ON THE ROADS AND HOW
02:05:08:00	02:05:12:00	WE CAN PROTECT THEM.
02:05:12:00	02:05:12:00	THANK YOU.
02:05:12:00	02:05:13:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES

02:05:23:00	02:05:23:00	OF THE CHANGES ACROSS THE CITY

02:05:25:00	02:05:26:00	GET A LOT OF CALLS ABOUT SPEED
02:05:26:00	02:05:30:00	HUMPS, BIKE LANES, BUS LANES,

02:05:44:00	02:05:45:00	THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT
02:05:45:00	02:05:46:00	IS NOT PUSHING BACK ON COMING
02:05:46:00	02:05:49:00	IN TO TALK TO US.
02:05:49:00	02:05:50:00	BUT I DID FILE A HEARING TO
02:05:50:00	02:05:52:00	REVIEW THE EFFECTIVENESS
02:05:52:00	02:05:53:00	OF SPEED HUMPS WHICH I THINK
02:05:53:00	02:05:53:00	TIES INTO THIS CONVERSATION AND
02:05:53:00	02:05:57:00	STILL MY OFFICE IS WORKING I

02:06:12:00	02:06:12:00	THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS AND
02:06:12:00	02:06:16:00	MY FEELINGS ON IT TOO.

02:06:20:00	02:06:20:00	WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK
02:06:20:00	02:06:21:00	ON THIS MATTER?
02:06:21:00	02:06:24:00	I WANT TO THINK MY CALL TO
02:06:24:00	02:06:24:00	FILING I THINK COUNCILOR DURKIN
02:06:24:00	02:06:26:00	POINTED TO IT WHEN SHE SAID
02:06:26:00	02:06:27:00	LIKE IT IS IMPORTANT THAT OUR
02:06:27:00	02:06:28:00	STREETS ARE SAFE FOR EVERYONE.
02:06:28:00	02:06:29:00	OUR STREETS ARE MEANT TO BE
02:06:29:00	02:06:31:00	MULTI-MODAL AND SHARED BY
02:06:31:00	02:06:31:00	EVERYONE AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO
02:06:31:00	02:06:32:00	FEEL SAFE WHEN WE'RE ABLE TO
02:06:32:00	02:06:34:00	PREVENT A DEATH THAT IS REALLY
02:06:34:00	02:06:35:00	IMPORTANT.
02:06:35:00	02:06:36:00	AND SO WE NEED TO BE TAKING
02:06:36:00	02:06:38:00	INTO CONSIDERATION IN
02:06:38:00	02:06:39:00	CONGESTION.
02:06:39:00	02:06:39:00	WE NEED TO BE TAKING INTO
02:06:39:00	02:06:40:00	CONSIDERATION WHAT OUR PEOPLE
02:06:40:00	02:06:43:00	NATURAL PATHS ON BIKES AND
02:06:43:00	02:06:43:00	MAKING SURE THAT YOU KNOW,
02:06:43:00	02:06:44:00	WE'RE LISTENING TO COMMUNITY AT
02:06:44:00	02:06:44:00	THE SAME TIME.
02:06:44:00	02:06:46:00	BUT I DO JUST WANT TO CENTER
02:06:46:00	02:06:47:00	THE IMPORTANCE OF STREET SAFETY
02:06:47:00	02:06:50:00	IN THINKING ABOUT WHAT OUR WHAT
02:06:50:00	02:06:51:00	OUR INFRASTRUCTURE LOOKS LIKE
02:06:51:00	02:06:51:00	IN THE CITY OF BOSTON.
02:06:51:00	02:06:55:00	OH, I SEE THE TRAFFIC AND IT'S
02:06:55:00	02:06:56:00	KIND OF FUNNY ON THE FLOOR.
02:06:56:00	02:06:56:00	YEAH.
02:06:56:00	02:06:58:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR, I, I
02:06:58:00	02:06:59:00	JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ON
02:06:59:00	02:07:02:00	PEDESTRIANS SAFETY AGAIN.
02:07:02:00	02:07:03:00	I WANT TO BE RESPECTFUL TO
02:07:03:00	02:07:03:00	EVERYBODY.
02:07:03:00	02:07:06:00	I WANT TO BE DISAGREEABLE.
02:07:06:00	02:07:07:00	BUT THIS PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
02:07:07:00	02:07:10:00	ISSUE IS AN ISSUE I HAVE WORKED
02:07:10:00	02:07:13:00	ON FOR SEVEN YEARS CONSISTENTLY
02:07:13:00	02:07:17:00	THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND IN
02:07:17:00	02:07:18:00	REDUCING THE SPEED LIMIT HERE
02:07:18:00	02:07:18:00	IN BOSTON AS WELL.
02:07:18:00	02:07:22:00	I THINK IT'S I THINK IT SHOULD
02:07:22:00	02:07:23:00	BE REDUCED EVEN FURTHER IN MY
02:07:23:00	02:07:25:00	OPINION ONLY.
02:07:25:00	02:07:26:00	BUT ON PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IT HAS
02:07:26:00	02:07:29:00	BEEN A TOP PRIORITY OF MINE.
02:07:29:00	02:07:30:00	I'VE WORKED IN LED ON MAJOR
02:07:30:00	02:07:33:00	INFRASTRUCTURE CHANGES THAT

02:07:33:00	02:07:36:00	ACROSS THE CITY.
02:07:36:00	02:07:37:00	AGAIN, I'M WILLING TO WORK WITH

02:07:44:00	02:07:45:00	ISSUE ON PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.
02:07:45:00	02:07:48:00	SO I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
02:07:48:00	02:07:48:00	THAT FOR THE RECORD.

02:08:44:00	02:08:47:00	NONPARTISAN COLLABORATION THAT
02:08:47:00	02:08:48:00	SHINES A LIGHT ON THE
02:08:48:00	02:08:48:00	IMPORTANCE OF ACCESSIBLE OPEN
02:08:48:00	02:08:51:00	GOVERNMENT.
02:08:51:00	02:08:52:00	PUBLIC ACCESS TO MEETINGS AND
02:08:52:00	02:08:54:00	RECORDS IS ESSENTIAL FOR
02:08:54:00	02:08:55:00	RESIDENTS TO STAY INFORMED

02:09:06:00	02:09:07:00	ESSENTIAL TO THE HEALTH OF OUR

02:09:10:00	02:09:11:00	HAVE REALIZED THAT REMOTE AND

02:09:14:00	02:09:17:00	INCREASED PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

02:09:32:00	02:09:33:00	PARTICIPATION AND MEETINGS
02:09:33:00	02:09:36:00	OF PUBLIC BODIES BUT THE LAW

02:09:48:00	02:09:51:00	OF LOCAL BODIES.
02:09:51:00	02:09:51:00	THIS WEEK THE HOUSE AND SENATE
02:09:51:00	02:09:55:00	PASSED A BILL THAT WOULD EXTEND
02:09:55:00	02:09:57:00	THE TEMPORARY AUTHORIZATION FOR
02:09:57:00	02:09:58:00	ANOTHER TWO YEARS RATHER THAN
02:09:58:00	02:09:58:00	AMEND THE OPEN MEETING LAW
02:09:58:00	02:10:01:00	ITSELF TO CODIFY THESE
02:10:01:00	02:10:01:00	PROVISIONS.
02:10:01:00	02:10:02:00	THIS RESOLUTION EXPRESSES
02:10:02:00	02:10:06:00	SUPPORT FOR MAKING THESE
02:10:06:00	02:10:06:00	PRACTICES PERMANENT AND THEY

02:10:13:00	02:10:17:00	THE BILL FOR TWO YEARS BUT I
02:10:17:00	02:10:20:00	WOULD URGE THEM TO CONSIDER THE
02:10:20:00	02:10:20:00	LEGISLATURE THAT IS TIME TO

02:10:24:00	02:10:25:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.

02:10:25:00	02:10:28:00	AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR
02:10:28:00	02:10:29:00	LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE AND IN
02:10:29:00	02:10:32:00	STRONG SUPPORT OF ENSURING
02:10:32:00	02:10:32:00	CONTINUED ACCESS TO OPEN
02:10:32:00	02:10:33:00	MEETINGS IS A FUNDAMENTAL
02:10:33:00	02:10:36:00	PILLAR OF A TRANSPARENT AND
02:10:36:00	02:10:36:00	ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNMENT.
02:10:36:00	02:10:37:00	WE'VE SEEN HERE ON THIS BODY
02:10:37:00	02:10:40:00	THE ABILITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO
02:10:40:00	02:10:40:00	OBSERVE, PARTICIPATE IN AND
02:10:40:00	02:10:43:00	ENGAGE WITH DECISION MAKING
02:10:43:00	02:10:44:00	PROCESSES STRENGTHENS TRUST IN
02:10:44:00	02:10:44:00	OUR INSTITUTIONS AND ENSURES
02:10:44:00	02:10:47:00	THAT OUR GOVERNMENT REMAINS
02:10:47:00	02:10:48:00	RESPONSIVE TO THE PEOPLE IT
02:10:48:00	02:10:48:00	SERVES.
02:10:48:00	02:10:49:00	HYBRID AND REMOTE ACCESS HAS
02:10:49:00	02:10:51:00	PROVEN INVALUABLE IN BREAKING
02:10:51:00	02:10:51:00	DOWN BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATION
02:10:51:00	02:10:55:00	ALLOWING WORKING FAMILIES OR
02:10:55:00	02:10:55:00	OLDER ADULTS AND INDIVIDUALS
02:10:55:00	02:10:56:00	WITH DISABILITIES TO STAY
02:10:56:00	02:10:59:00	ENGAGED.
02:10:59:00	02:10:59:00	AS WE CONSIDER A FUTURE
02:10:59:00	02:11:00:00	OF OPENING LAWS, WE MUST COMMIT
02:11:00:00	02:11:02:00	TO POLICIES THAT PRIORITIZE
02:11:02:00	02:11:03:00	ACCESSIBILITY, EQUITY AND CIVIC
02:11:03:00	02:11:03:00	ENGAGEMENT ENSURING THAT OUR
02:11:03:00	02:11:06:00	GOVERNMENT REMAINS OPEN TO ALL
02:11:06:00	02:11:06:00	.
02:11:06:00	02:11:07:00	IT REALLY IS ABOUT YOU KNOW,
02:11:07:00	02:11:08:00	ALLOWS PEOPLE WHO ARE JUGGLING
02:11:08:00	02:11:11:00	MULTIPLE THINGS TO BE ABLE TO
02:11:11:00	02:11:11:00	PARTICIPATE.
02:11:11:00	02:11:12:00	WE SEE THAT ALL THE TIME IN
02:11:12:00	02:11:12:00	ZOOM.
02:11:12:00	02:11:14:00	I DO THINK THAT SOMETIMES YOU
02:11:14:00	02:11:15:00	DO LOSE SOMETHING WHEN YOU
02:11:15:00	02:11:15:00	DON'T HAVE MEETINGS IN PUBLIC.
02:11:15:00	02:11:17:00	I THINK THAT THERE'S IMPORTANT
02:11:17:00	02:11:18:00	ORGANIZING WORK THAT HAPPENS
02:11:18:00	02:11:18:00	WHEN PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO APPEAR
02:11:18:00	02:11:22:00	IN PORTLAND IN PUBLIC.
02:11:22:00	02:11:22:00	BUT I ALSO THINK THAT IT'S
02:11:22:00	02:11:23:00	IMPORTANT FOR US TO GIVE PEOPLE
02:11:23:00	02:11:25:00	TO HAVE THE OPTION SO THAT
02:11:25:00	02:11:26:00	PEOPLE CAN ENGAGE COME TO OUR
02:11:26:00	02:11:30:00	BUDGET TOWN HALLS VIRTUALLY AND
02:11:30:00	02:11:31:00	PARTICIPATE AND GIVE THEIR
02:11:31:00	02:11:31:00	FEEDBACK.
02:11:31:00	02:11:34:00	SO I JUST WANT TO ECHO MY
02:11:34:00	02:11:34:00	COLLEAGUE'S STATEMENTS AND MAKE
02:11:34:00	02:11:37:00	SURE THAT WE SUPPORT THE WORK
02:11:37:00	02:11:38:00	OF THE LEGISLATURE AND SO MANY
02:11:38:00	02:11:38:00	ADVOCACY GROUPS THAT ARE
02:11:38:00	02:11:41:00	WORKING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
02:11:41:00	02:11:45:00	ALLOW GOVERNMENT TO BE MORE
02:11:45:00	02:11:46:00	OPEN AND THAT WE ALLOW FOR MORE
02:11:46:00	02:11:46:00	HYBRID OPTIONS.
02:11:46:00	02:11:47:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES COMES FROM
02:11:47:00	02:11:49:00	HERE BECAUSE WE HEAR YOU ON THE
02:11:49:00	02:11:49:00	FLOOR.
02:11:49:00	02:11:52:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT AND
02:11:52:00	02:11:53:00	I JUST WANT TO THANK
02:11:53:00	02:11:54:00	COUNCILOR BREADON FOR ADDING
02:11:54:00	02:11:56:00	ME TO JOIN YOU ALL AS AN
02:11:56:00	02:11:57:00	ORIGINAL CO-SPONSOR.
02:11:57:00	02:12:00:00	I WAS REFLECTING BACK WHEN I
02:12:00:00	02:12:01:00	WAS RUNNING FOR OFFICE I ALWAYS
02:12:01:00	02:12:04:00	SAID THAT MY FIRST HEARING WAS
02:12:04:00	02:12:05:00	GOING TO BE A HEARING ON PUBLIC
02:12:05:00	02:12:07:00	HEARINGS AND I ALWAYS TALKED
02:12:07:00	02:12:08:00	ABOUT THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW,
02:12:08:00	02:12:11:00	THE CITY NEEDED TO BE MORE
02:12:11:00	02:12:13:00	ACCESSIBLE TO FOLKS WHO WERE
02:12:13:00	02:12:14:00	JUGGLING 2 TO 3 JOBS AND MANY
02:12:14:00	02:12:16:00	OF THE DECISIONS THAT WE WERE
02:12:16:00	02:12:17:00	MAKING IMPACTED FOLKS AND WE
02:12:17:00	02:12:18:00	DIDN'T REALLY HAVE
02:12:18:00	02:12:21:00	INFRASTRUCTURE FOR REAL
02:12:21:00	02:12:21:00	ENGAGEMENT.
02:12:21:00	02:12:25:00	AND SO CORBETT CAME AND
02:12:25:00	02:12:26:00	CREATED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US
02:12:26:00	02:12:27:00	TO DO THAT SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO
02:12:27:00	02:12:29:00	FIGHT TOO MUCH TO MAKE IT
02:12:29:00	02:12:29:00	HAPPEN BECAUSE THE WORLD JUST
02:12:29:00	02:12:32:00	SHUT DOWN AND WE WERE ALL ABLE
02:12:32:00	02:12:33:00	TO TRANSITION TO A REMOTE AND I
02:12:33:00	02:12:36:00	WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OUR
02:12:36:00	02:12:37:00	COUNCILOR EDWARDS THEN AND
02:12:37:00	02:12:41:00	MYSELF ALONGSIDE WITH
02:12:41:00	02:12:41:00	COUNCILOR BREADON I BELIEVE
02:12:41:00	02:12:43:00	JOINED US AS A THIRD
02:12:43:00	02:12:44:00	CO-SPONSOR.
02:12:44:00	02:12:47:00	WE FILED A HEARING ORDER AND IT
02:12:47:00	02:12:50:00	WAS DOCKET ZERO 4 TO 5 IN ORDER
02:12:50:00	02:12:54:00	TO A HEARING ON PUBLIC HEARINGS
02:12:54:00	02:12:55:00	AS THEY RELATE TO GOVERNMENT
02:12:55:00	02:12:55:00	ACCOUNTABILITY AND
02:12:55:00	02:12:55:00	ACCESSIBILITY.
02:12:55:00	02:12:58:00	AND I THINK THAT THIS
02:12:58:00	02:12:58:00	CONVERSATION CONSIDERING THAT
02:12:58:00	02:13:01:00	WE ALWAYS HAVE TO FIGHT FOR THE
02:13:01:00	02:13:02:00	EXTENSION, I THINK THAT WE HAVE
02:13:02:00	02:13:03:00	AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY MAKE
02:13:03:00	02:13:05:00	IT LAW AND PERMANENT.
02:13:05:00	02:13:09:00	I THINK THAT AS A PARENT MYSELF
02:13:09:00	02:13:10:00	IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE
02:13:10:00	02:13:13:00	ACCESS TO VIRTUAL OPTIONS AND I
02:13:13:00	02:13:14:00	ALSO THINK THAT WE UNDERSTAND
02:13:14:00	02:13:17:00	THAT THERE'S A HYBRID, RIGHT,
02:13:17:00	02:13:18:00	BECAUSE THERE'S SOME FOLKS WHO
02:13:18:00	02:13:21:00	LIKE TO MEET IN PERSON AND SOME
02:13:21:00	02:13:22:00	FOLKS WHO ARE VIRTUAL.
02:13:22:00	02:13:25:00	WHAT I SEE THOUGH IS THAT
02:13:25:00	02:13:25:00	OFTENTIMES WHEN WE'RE DOING
02:13:25:00	02:13:28:00	VIRTUAL MEETINGS THAT THERE IS
02:13:28:00	02:13:29:00	A POWER PLAY HAPPENING AND
02:13:29:00	02:13:30:00	FOLKS ARE BEING MUTED AND
02:13:30:00	02:13:33:00	UNABLE TO ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE.
02:13:33:00	02:13:34:00	SO I THINK AS WE CONTINUE TO
02:13:34:00	02:13:36:00	HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS WE
02:13:36:00	02:13:37:00	NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
02:13:37:00	02:13:38:00	HOLDING OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE
02:13:38:00	02:13:40:00	TO ACTIVE PARTICIPATION WHETHER
02:13:40:00	02:13:41:00	IT'S IN-PERSON OR VIRTUAL.
02:13:41:00	02:13:44:00	THE EMERGENCE OF TECHNOLOGY
02:13:44:00	02:13:45:00	PROVIDES US WITH A CHOICE TO
02:13:45:00	02:13:48:00	LEVERAGE THE INTENTIONAL FOR
02:13:48:00	02:13:52:00	INCREASING ACCESS AND TO ALLOW
02:13:52:00	02:13:53:00	WHITE DIVIDES BETWEEN THOSE WHO
02:13:53:00	02:13:56:00	HAVE AND THOSE WHO HAVE NOT
02:13:56:00	02:13:57:00	CHOOSING TO LEVERAGE TECHNOLOGY
02:13:57:00	02:14:00:00	TO INCREASE ACCESS MEANS
02:14:00:00	02:14:00:00	REMOVING BARRIERS THAT
02:14:00:00	02:14:00:00	HISTORICALLY PREVENT
02:14:00:00	02:14:03:00	INDIVIDUALS SUCH AS THOSE WHO
02:14:03:00	02:14:04:00	WORK MULTIPLE JOBS HAVE
02:14:04:00	02:14:04:00	DISABILITIES OR CHRONIC
02:14:04:00	02:14:08:00	ILLNESSES OR HAVE CHILDREN TO
02:14:08:00	02:14:08:00	CARE FOR PEOPLE FULLY ENGAGING
02:14:08:00	02:14:11:00	IN THE DEMOCRAT PROCESS.
02:14:11:00	02:14:12:00	THIS IS A CONVERSATION ABOUT
02:14:12:00	02:14:15:00	CLASS AND PRIVILEGE.
02:14:15:00	02:14:16:00	I KNOW THAT FOR MANY OF THE
02:14:16:00	02:14:16:00	HEARINGS THAT I'VE CALLED
02:14:16:00	02:14:19:00	PUBLIC TESTIMONY HAS ONLY BEEN
02:14:19:00	02:14:20:00	POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE HAVE
02:14:20:00	02:14:23:00	VIRTUAL ACCESS.
02:14:23:00	02:14:23:00	SO MANY COMMUNITY MEMBERS DO
02:14:23:00	02:14:24:00	NOT HAVE THE LUXURY OF TAKING
02:14:24:00	02:14:27:00	TIME OFF OF WORK TO ATTEND
02:14:27:00	02:14:27:00	COUNCIL MEETINGS IN PERSON AND
02:14:27:00	02:14:30:00	MANY OF OUR PANELISTS

02:18:00:00	02:18:00:00	I APOLOGIZE.
02:18:00:00	02:18:01:00	I DO HAVE TO JUST TAKE A LOOK
02:18:01:00	02:18:04:00	AT SOME NOTES HERE.
02:18:04:00	02:18:04:00	IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE
02:18:04:00	02:18:05:00	FUNDING IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR AT
02:18:05:00	02:18:08:00	LEAST LAST YEAR THE GRANT
02:18:08:00	02:18:09:00	FUNDED FENWAY AREA INITIATIVES
02:18:09:00	02:18:12:00	LIKE FENWAY CIVIC ASSOCIATION

02:18:22:00	02:18:26:00	CLEANUPS FOR BACK BAY FANS AND
02:18:26:00	02:18:27:00	THEY ALSO HELPED FUND THE
02:18:27:00	02:18:30:00	CITYWIDE LOVE YOUR BLOCK CLEAN
02:18:30:00	02:18:31:00	CLEANUPS WHERE OUR HOSTED
02:18:31:00	02:18:34:00	THROUGHOUT THE CITY CITYWIDE SO
02:18:34:00	02:18:35:00	IT WOULD APPEAR THAT IN THE
02:18:35:00	02:18:38:00	PREVIOUS YEAR AT LEAST THAT THE
02:18:38:00	02:18:42:00	THIS FUND HAS BEEN USED
02:18:42:00	02:18:43:00	PREDOMINANTLY MAJORITY IN THE
02:18:43:00	02:18:48:00	FENWAY POSSIBLY MORE THAN TWO
02:18:48:00	02:18:48:00	THIRDS.
02:18:48:00	02:18:50:00	SO THE CORRECTION HERE IS NOT A
02:18:50:00	02:18:52:00	THIRD HERE, A THIRD SOMEWHERE
02:18:52:00	02:18:53:00	ELSE IN ARTS AND CULTURE AND A
02:18:53:00	02:18:56:00	THIRD CITYWIDE RATHER THE
02:18:56:00	02:18:57:00	MAJORITY WAS SPENT IN FENWAY.
02:18:57:00	02:19:00:00	THE CONCERN THAT I HAVE IS THAT
02:19:00:00	02:19:03:00	LOOK, WE VOTED FOR IT, RIGHT?
02:19:03:00	02:19:07:00	SO WE DID THAT OVERSIGHT OR NOT
02:19:07:00	02:19:07:00	OR AT THE TIME WAS NEEDED
02:19:07:00	02:19:11:00	RELATIVE TO WHATEVER WAS GOING
02:19:11:00	02:19:12:00	ON IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR WE
02:19:12:00	02:19:14:00	VOTED TO OUR BEST JUDGMENT.
02:19:14:00	02:19:15:00	IT'S NOW BEFORE THE FLOOR,
02:19:15:00	02:19:18:00	BEFORE THE BODY AND BUT IF IT'S
02:19:18:00	02:19:22:00	A GRANT, SO IS IT NOT THE
02:19:22:00	02:19:23:00	PRACTICE FOR A GRANT TO GO INTO
02:19:23:00	02:19:25:00	RFP AND THEN ALLOW CITYWIDE
02:19:25:00	02:19:29:00	PROSPECTS TO APPLY?
02:19:29:00	02:19:30:00	AND SO I AM LEAVING IT TO MY
02:19:30:00	02:19:34:00	COLLEAGUES TO OBJECT OR SUGGEST
02:19:34:00	02:19:37:00	THAT IT GOES IN COMMITTEE I
02:19:37:00	02:19:38:00	THINK BECAUSE IT'S WE HAVE THE
02:19:38:00	02:19:42:00	PORCH FEST AND WE HAVE
02:19:42:00	02:19:42:00	PRECEDENTS THAT YES, WE KNOW
02:19:42:00	02:19:46:00	THAT IT'S MORE FAIR.
02:19:46:00	02:19:47:00	IT'S FAIR TO I WOULD SAY AT
02:19:47:00	02:19:48:00	LEAST A THIRD OF THIS FUND TO
02:19:48:00	02:19:49:00	BE APPROPRIATED TO THE FENWAY.
02:19:49:00	02:19:52:00	BUT IS THAT IS THAT THE PROPER
02:19:52:00	02:19:52:00	PRACTICE?
02:19:52:00	02:19:53:00	IS THAT HOW WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
02:19:53:00	02:19:55:00	DO IT?
02:19:55:00	02:19:56:00	AND THEN IF YOU WANT TO APPROVE
02:19:56:00	02:19:59:00	IT IN THIS WAY WE LEAVE IT TO
02:19:59:00	02:20:00:00	ADMINISTRATION TO THEN SPEND
02:20:00:00	02:20:03:00	THE MOST OF IT TO SUPPORT THE
02:20:03:00	02:20:04:00	REST OF THESE EFFORTS THAT I
02:20:04:00	02:20:06:00	JUST MENTIONED.
02:20:06:00	02:20:07:00	BUT I LEAVE IT TO YOU TO OPINE
02:20:07:00	02:20:10:00	AND I'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE.
02:20:10:00	02:20:10:00	OKAY.

02:22:00:00	02:22:01:00	THE BUTLER AND I DO HAVE PARTS
02:22:01:00	02:22:04:00	OF FENWAY I AM ALSO INTERESTED
02:22:04:00	02:22:05:00	IN SUPPORTING THE FENWAY BUT IT
02:22:05:00	02:22:09:00	STILL LEAVES A QUESTION HAVE WE
02:22:09:00	02:22:09:00	DONE THIS CORRECTLY IN THE PAST
02:22:09:00	02:22:10:00	AND WE CAN'T SAY THE
02:22:10:00	02:22:13:00	ADMINISTRATION DID THIS.
02:22:13:00	02:22:14:00	WE CAN SAY THAT WE VOTED ON IT
02:22:14:00	02:22:18:00	KNOWING THAT WE LEFT IT OPEN
02:22:18:00	02:22:21:00	FOR FOR DISCRETION AND THE
02:22:21:00	02:22:25:00	ADMINISTRATION THEN TO THEIR
02:22:25:00	02:22:25:00	DISCRETION DECIDED THAT THEY
02:22:25:00	02:22:29:00	WERE GOING TO DIVVY IT UP IN
02:22:29:00	02:22:29:00	THE WAY THAT THEY DID.
02:22:29:00	02:22:30:00	BUT WE DID THAT WE VOTED ON
02:22:30:00	02:22:32:00	THAT.
02:22:32:00	02:22:33:00	SO HERE WE ARE.
02:22:33:00	02:22:34:00	WE DID IT BEFORE BUT NOW WE
02:22:34:00	02:22:36:00	HAVE A CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT AND
02:22:36:00	02:22:37:00	SAY THERE'S AN EVENT ABOUT TO
02:22:37:00	02:22:37:00	HAPPEN.
02:22:37:00	02:22:40:00	DO WE DO WHAT THE PRESIDENT AS
02:22:40:00	02:22:41:00	WE DID THE PRESIDENTS THAT HAS
02:22:41:00	02:22:44:00	BEEN SET BEFORE OR DO WE TAKE A
02:22:44:00	02:22:47:00	LOOK AT IT IF WE SLOW IT DOWN,
02:22:47:00	02:22:48:00	DOES THAT LEAVE THE QUESTION
02:22:48:00	02:22:51:00	AGAIN THAT A GRANT NEEDS TO BE
02:22:51:00	02:22:51:00	PUT OUT AND HOW LONG WOULD THAT
02:22:51:00	02:22:55:00	TAKE THE FENWAY PORCHFEST WOULD
02:22:55:00	02:22:56:00	NOT HAVE TIME TO BE ABLE TO
02:22:56:00	02:22:59:00	SPEND IN THEIR EVENT.
02:22:59:00	02:23:03:00	SO LEAVING IT TO YOU TO SAY
02:23:03:00	02:23:06:00	YEAH FENWAY WE LOVE YOU BUT OR
02:23:06:00	02:23:07:00	YOU KNOW WHAT THIS DESERVES
02:23:07:00	02:23:07:00	MORE CONSIDERATION.
02:23:07:00	02:23:10:00	LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.
02:23:10:00	02:23:10:00	SO I'M WAITING FOR YOUR
02:23:10:00	02:23:14:00	FEEDBACK.
02:23:14:00	02:23:14:00	OKAY.
02:23:14:00	02:23:14:00	ALL RIGHT.
02:23:14:00	02:23:15:00	SO BECAUSE THAT SOUNDS
02:23:15:00	02:23:17:00	DIFFERENT THAN IT DOESN'T LIKE
02:23:17:00	02:23:18:00	THEY WERE READY TO TAKE A VOTE,
02:23:18:00	02:23:19:00	WE COULD POTENTIALLY IF WE WANT
02:23:19:00	02:23:21:00	TO TAKE A VOTE WE COULD IF WE
02:23:21:00	02:23:22:00	WANT TO DELIBERATE A LITTLE BIT
02:23:22:00	02:23:27:00	MORE WE COULD.
02:23:27:00	02:23:27:00	YES.
02:23:27:00	02:23:28:00	YEAH, YEAH, YOU MAY THROUGH THE
02:23:28:00	02:23:31:00	DAY YOU MAY YOU MAY DO THE
02:23:31:00	02:23:34:00	TRIVIA OR NO, WE DON'T NEED TO
02:23:34:00	02:23:35:00	DELIBERATE RATHER TELL ME WHAT
02:23:35:00	02:23:35:00	YOU WANT TO DO.
02:23:35:00	02:23:38:00	OKAY IF YOU THINK LOOK WE SPENT
02:23:38:00	02:23:41:00	THIS MONEY OVER HERE WE SPENT
02:23:41:00	02:23:42:00	THE MAJORITY OVER THERE.
02:23:42:00	02:23:42:00	YES.
02:23:42:00	02:23:45:00	THINK THEY TAKE ON THE BURDEN
02:23:45:00	02:23:46:00	THE MOST OF THE BURDEN SO
02:23:46:00	02:23:47:00	THAT'S A THAT'S A THAT'S OKAY
02:23:47:00	02:23:50:00	THINK HOWEVER, WE HAVE NOT BEEN
02:23:50:00	02:23:51:00	PART OF THE PROCESS WHERE WE'VE
02:23:51:00	02:23:54:00	ACTUALLY LOOKED AT THE NUMBERS
02:23:54:00	02:23:54:00	OR PERCENTAGES AND HOW BECAUSE
02:23:54:00	02:23:57:00	IT'S NOT COMMUNITY MITIGATION
02:23:57:00	02:23:58:00	IT SHOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATED
02:23:58:00	02:24:01:00	DIRECTLY I BELIEVE IN MY TO THE
02:24:01:00	02:24:02:00	BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THAT IT
02:24:02:00	02:24:05:00	SHOULD BE GRANTS PUT OUT AND
02:24:05:00	02:24:06:00	THEN BUT THEN IT LOOKS LIKE THE
02:24:06:00	02:24:09:00	MAJORITY OF IT WENT TO THE
02:24:09:00	02:24:09:00	FENWAY WITHOUT THE
02:24:09:00	02:24:13:00	COUNCIL DECIDING HOW TO DIVIDE
02:24:13:00	02:24:13:00	THAT.
02:24:13:00	02:24:14:00	YEAH THANK YOU FOR THAT
02:24:14:00	02:24:16:00	FLAHERTY SHARED I APPRECIATE
02:24:16:00	02:24:16:00	IT.
02:24:16:00	02:24:20:00	I THINK FOR ME I'M ALWAYS GOING
02:24:20:00	02:24:21:00	TO RISE ON THE SIDE OF MAKING
02:24:21:00	02:24:24:00	SURE BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN HAS
02:24:24:00	02:24:25:00	DORIC THE TIME THAT I'VE BEEN
02:24:25:00	02:24:28:00	ON THIS PARTICULAR ITERATION
02:24:28:00	02:24:29:00	OF THIS BODY WITH THE
02:24:29:00	02:24:29:00	ADMINISTRATION AND OUR
02:24:29:00	02:24:32:00	COLLEAGUES THIS HAS BEEN A
02:24:32:00	02:24:35:00	CONSTANT THEME ABOUT HOW WE DO
02:24:35:00	02:24:36:00	BUSINESS AND I WANT TO SUPPORT
02:24:36:00	02:24:39:00	MY COLLEAGUES IN DOING THE WORK
02:24:39:00	02:24:40:00	BUT I ALSO THINK THAT WE'RE
02:24:40:00	02:24:41:00	GOING TO HAVE TO TIGHTEN UP A
02:24:41:00	02:24:43:00	LITTLE BIT BECAUSE WE ARE
02:24:43:00	02:24:44:00	GETTING LOTS OF MONEY THAT WE
02:24:44:00	02:24:46:00	ARE APPROPRIATING AND PASSING
02:24:46:00	02:24:47:00	THROUGH AND YOU KNOW IT ALWAYS
02:24:47:00	02:24:51:00	FEELS LIKE THERE'S A FIRE HOSE
02:24:51:00	02:24:51:00	ON US.
02:24:51:00	02:24:52:00	HURRY UP, HURRY UP, WE GOTTA
02:24:52:00	02:24:54:00	HURRY UP AND ALL IF WE LOSE
02:24:54:00	02:24:55:00	THIS MONEY THE WHOLE WORLD IS
02:24:55:00	02:24:55:00	GOING TO CRUMBLE.
02:24:55:00	02:24:58:00	I REJECT THAT NOTION I JUST
02:24:58:00	02:25:01:00	DON'T THINK IS A GOOD PRACTICE
02:25:01:00	02:25:01:00	.
02:25:01:00	02:25:02:00	I THINK THAT YOU KNOW PEOPLE
02:25:02:00	02:25:05:00	ARE LOOKING TO US.
02:25:05:00	02:25:06:00	THE RFP PROCESS HAS BEEN A BIT
02:25:06:00	02:25:09:00	MESSY LATELY HERE.
02:25:09:00	02:25:10:00	YOU KNOW, WE'VE HEARD SOME
02:25:10:00	02:25:13:00	RUMBLINGS AROUND SOME OF THE
02:25:13:00	02:25:13:00	DISCREPANCIES THE WHITE STADIUM
02:25:13:00	02:25:17:00	I'VE ALSO HEARD SOME
02:25:17:00	02:25:17:00	DISCREPANCIES AROUND THE RFP
02:25:17:00	02:25:20:00	PROCESS FOR THE RECENT CIVILIAN
02:25:20:00	02:25:23:00	REVIEW THE CIVILIAN FLAGGERS
02:25:23:00	02:25:24:00	POSITION WHERE THE RFP WENT
02:25:24:00	02:25:28:00	DIRECTLY TO SOMEONE ELSE.
02:25:28:00	02:25:29:00	I JUST FEEL LIKE THERE'S LOTS
02:25:29:00	02:25:29:00	OF LITTLE THINGS THAT ARE
02:25:29:00	02:25:32:00	HAPPENING AND THERE ARE A LOT
02:25:32:00	02:25:32:00	OF FOLKS WHO ARE COUNTING ON
02:25:32:00	02:25:35:00	CITY DOLLARS AND THEY ALWAYS
02:25:35:00	02:25:35:00	FEEL LEFT OUT OF CONVERSATIONS
02:25:35:00	02:25:39:00	AND SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
02:25:39:00	02:25:39:00	WHATEVER DECISIONS WE MAKE ARE
02:25:39:00	02:25:42:00	BEING FAIR AND THOUGHTFUL AND
02:25:42:00	02:25:43:00	THAT THERE IS A PROCESS IN
02:25:43:00	02:25:43:00	PLACE.
02:25:43:00	02:25:46:00	AND SO I'M ALWAYS GOING TO SAY
02:25:46:00	02:25:46:00	THAT AS A CITY WHITE
02:25:46:00	02:25:47:00	COUNCILOR IT IS NOT ABOUT ANY
02:25:47:00	02:25:50:00	PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR
02:25:50:00	02:25:50:00	ME IT'S ABOUT HOW WE DO
02:25:50:00	02:25:51:00	BUSINESS HERE IN THE CITY
02:25:51:00	02:25:54:00	OF BOSTON AND I WILL CONTINUE
02:25:54:00	02:25:55:00	TO BE CONSISTENT REGARDLESS
02:25:55:00	02:25:57:00	OF WHETHER IT'S SOMETHING THAT
02:25:57:00	02:25:58:00	I SUPPORT OR NOT.
02:25:58:00	02:26:01:00	IT IS THE PROCESS THAT MATTERS
02:26:01:00	02:26:02:00	AND I THINK THE PROCESS
02:26:02:00	02:26:02:00	CONTINUES TO BE FLAWED IN THE
02:26:02:00	02:26:05:00	WAY WE DO BUSINESS.
02:26:05:00	02:26:06:00	BUT HERE WE ARE AND I WOULD
02:26:06:00	02:26:09:00	SUPPORT WHATEVER THE CHAIR I, I
02:26:09:00	02:26:13:00	AM TIRED OF BEING THE
02:26:13:00	02:26:13:00	TROUBLEMAKER.
02:26:13:00	02:26:13:00	THANK YOU GUYS.
02:26:13:00	02:26:17:00	I'M HERE AND I JUST WANT TO SAY
02:26:17:00	02:26:17:00	THAT I THINK WHAT'S INTERESTING
02:26:17:00	02:26:18:00	IS I THINK THAT THIS BODY HAS
02:26:18:00	02:26:20:00	DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS
02:26:20:00	02:26:21:00	OF LIKE WHAT IS A SMALL AMOUNT
02:26:21:00	02:26:24:00	FOR A GRANT.
02:26:24:00	02:26:25:00	I THINK THAT SOME PEOPLE WOULD
02:26:25:00	02:26:27:00	SAY AND I WOULD SAY THAT 20 TO
02:26:27:00	02:26:27:00	$50000 WHILE NOT INSIGNIFICANT
02:26:27:00	02:26:30:00	FOR A LOT IS LIKE NOT THE
02:26:30:00	02:26:31:00	BIGGEST OF GRANTS AND THAT
02:26:31:00	02:26:32:00	THERE IS EVENTS COMING UP I
02:26:32:00	02:26:35:00	THINK YOU KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT
02:26:35:00	02:26:38:00	PERCENTAGE OF A GRANT THAT IS
02:26:38:00	02:26:39:00	GIVEN OUT BY FENWAY PARK WHAT
02:26:39:00	02:26:42:00	WAS THE RIGHT PERCENTAGE OF IT
02:26:42:00	02:26:43:00	TO GO DIRECTLY TO THE
02:26:43:00	02:26:43:00	NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND AND TO THE
02:26:43:00	02:26:46:00	GREATER CITY I THINK IS A
02:26:46:00	02:26:49:00	DISCUSSION THAT WE CAN HAVE OUT
02:26:49:00	02:26:49:00	MAYBE OUTSIDE OF THIS HEARING
02:26:49:00	02:26:50:00	WHERE I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE
02:26:50:00	02:26:53:00	IS ALSO LIKE CAN WE GET AN
02:26:53:00	02:26:54:00	ITEMIZED LISTING FROM THE
02:26:54:00	02:26:56:00	MAYOR'S OFFICE OF WHERE EXACTLY
02:26:56:00	02:26:57:00	THIS MONEY IS GOING TO GO?
02:26:57:00	02:27:00:00	WHAT WILL THE PROCESS BE?
02:27:00:00	02:27:01:00	WILL IT BE RFP?
02:27:01:00	02:27:02:00	I AM NOT SOMEONE WHO NEEDS TO
02:27:02:00	02:27:05:00	HAVE AN ANSWER TO THOSE
02:27:05:00	02:27:05:00	QUESTIONS BEFORE APPROVING THIS
02:27:05:00	02:27:05:00	GRANT BECAUSE AGAIN WE'VE
02:27:05:00	02:27:06:00	APPROVED IT IN THE PAST
02:27:06:00	02:27:09:00	ALTHOUGH I DO BELIEVE CUSTOMARY
02:27:09:00	02:27:09:00	HERE.
02:27:09:00	02:27:10:00	SO YOUR POINTS ARE WELL TAKEN
02:27:10:00	02:27:15:00	IN TERMS OF YOU KNOW, RFP
02:27:15:00	02:27:16:00	PROCESSES FOR LARGER GRANTS
02:27:16:00	02:27:19:00	THAT THIS BODY SOMETIMES SEES
02:27:19:00	02:27:19:00	COME BEFORE IT.
02:27:19:00	02:27:20:00	FOR ME THIS IS NOT AN AMOUNT
02:27:20:00	02:27:23:00	THAT TRIGGERS THAT AND SO I
02:27:23:00	02:27:27:00	JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR ON THE
02:27:27:00	02:27:28:00	PROCESS COUNT DIFFERENT ENGINES
02:27:28:00	02:27:31:00	AND DID MOVE FOR US TO SUSPEND
02:27:31:00	02:27:32:00	AND PASS THIS GRANT AND IN
02:27:32:00	02:27:35:00	ORDER FOR THAT NOT TO HAPPEN I
02:27:35:00	02:27:35:00	GUESS SOMEONE WOULD SHE'S
02:27:35:00	02:27:36:00	SAYING IF SOMEONE WOULD SUGGEST
02:27:36:00	02:27:38:00	THAT TO HER SHE WOULD TAKE THAT
02:27:38:00	02:27:39:00	UNDER CONSIDERATION OR SOMEONE
02:27:39:00	02:27:43:00	WOULD OBJECT TO THE SUSPENSION
02:27:43:00	02:27:44:00	AND PASS IT AND THEN IT WOULD
02:27:44:00	02:27:45:00	BE SENT TO COMMITTEE THE CHAIR
02:27:45:00	02:27:45:00	AND AS COUNCILMEMBER FOR YOU ON
02:27:45:00	02:27:46:00	THE FLOOR.
02:27:46:00	02:27:46:00	THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT AND
02:27:46:00	02:27:49:00	THANK YOU COUNCILOR FERNANDES
02:27:49:00	02:27:50:00	SANDERSON I KNOW IT'S DIFFICULT
02:27:50:00	02:27:51:00	DURING A COUNCIL MEETING TO
02:27:51:00	02:27:54:00	NEED QUESTIONS ANSWERED AND
02:27:54:00	02:27:54:00	THEN TRIED TO GIVE IT BACK TO
02:27:54:00	02:27:57:00	US SO I APPRECIATE THAT I
02:27:57:00	02:27:58:00	LOOKED ON THE CALENDAR AND IT
02:27:58:00	02:28:01:00	LOOKS LIKE THE PORCH FEST FOR
02:28:01:00	02:28:03:00	FENWAY IS NOT UNTIL JUNE 21ST.
02:28:03:00	02:28:04:00	SO I DO THINK IF WE HAD A
02:28:04:00	02:28:07:00	HEARING TO UNDERSTAND THIS
02:28:07:00	02:28:11:00	GRANT BUT ALSO AGREE I MEAN I
02:28:11:00	02:28:12:00	PERSONALLY THINK IF 100% WENT
02:28:12:00	02:28:15:00	TO FENWAY THAT WOULD BE OKAY.
02:28:15:00	02:28:16:00	BUT ONE QUESTION I HAVE IS
02:28:16:00	02:28:19:00	COULD THE MESSAGE IN ORDER BE
02:28:19:00	02:28:20:00	REWRITTEN BY THE ADMINISTRATION
02:28:20:00	02:28:21:00	FOR THE LAST SENTENCE TO SAY
02:28:21:00	02:28:23:00	THE GRANT WILL FUND ARTS
02:28:23:00	02:28:24:00	PROGRAMING COMMUNITY EVENTS AND
02:28:24:00	02:28:27:00	PARK OPERATIONS AND IT NOT SAY
02:28:27:00	02:28:27:00	ACROSS BOSTON BECAUSE I DO
02:28:27:00	02:28:30:00	THINK WHEN PEOPLE GO BACK AND
02:28:30:00	02:28:31:00	READ AND LOOK AT THE MONEY WE
02:28:31:00	02:28:35:00	APPROVE THAT WOULD MAKE
02:28:35:00	02:28:35:00	ME THINK THAT YOU KNOW,
02:28:35:00	02:28:38:00	CHARLESTOWN HAS A BIG PARADE
02:28:38:00	02:28:39:00	COMING UP TO COMMEMORATE YOU
02:28:39:00	02:28:39:00	KNOW, THERE'S LOTS OF EVENTS
02:28:39:00	02:28:42:00	ACROSS THE CITY THAT ARE WORTHY
02:28:42:00	02:28:45:00	OF MONEY BUT IT WOULD BE ALSO
02:28:45:00	02:28:48:00	INFORMATIVE FOR ME TO KNOW DOES
02:28:48:00	02:28:53:00	THIS THE RED THROUGH THE CHAIR
02:28:53:00	02:28:57:00	COULD I ASK A QUESTION TO
02:28:57:00	02:28:57:00	COUNCILOR DURKIN PLEASE DO THE
02:28:57:00	02:29:01:00	CHAIR YOU MAY WHICH ONE IS
02:29:01:00	02:29:01:00	THERE INFORMATION YOU HAVE
02:29:01:00	02:29:02:00	BECAUSE I DO KNOW YOU'RE
02:29:02:00	02:29:04:00	TALKING TO YOUR COLLEAGUES AND
02:29:04:00	02:29:05:00	MAYBE THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO
02:29:05:00	02:29:05:00	ME.
02:29:05:00	02:29:08:00	COULD YOU IF THERE IS
02:29:08:00	02:29:09:00	INFORMATION THAT YOU THINK BUT
02:29:09:00	02:29:12:00	I WILL FINISH SAYING THAT I'M
02:29:12:00	02:29:12:00	NOT AGAINST THE GRANT GOING TO
02:29:12:00	02:29:13:00	THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
02:29:13:00	02:29:15:00	I DO KNOW AND I WOULD ASSUME
02:29:15:00	02:29:16:00	AND MAYBE I'M WRONG BUT THAT
02:29:16:00	02:29:19:00	THE RED SOX FOUNDATION IF
02:29:19:00	02:29:20:00	THAT'S WHERE IT'S COMING FROM
02:29:20:00	02:29:20:00	DOES BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A WAY
02:29:20:00	02:29:24:00	FOR THEM TO GIVE BACK TO THE
02:29:24:00	02:29:24:00	COMMUNITY THAT THEY HEAR
02:29:24:00	02:29:25:00	DIRECTLY FROM ALL THE TIME.
02:29:25:00	02:29:27:00	SO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
02:29:27:00	02:29:28:00	WORDING THESE GRANTS TO BE
02:29:28:00	02:29:28:00	SPECIFIC ABOUT WHERE THE
02:29:28:00	02:29:31:00	MONEY'S GOING IS ONE THING I
02:29:31:00	02:29:32:00	THINK IS IMPORTANT.
02:29:32:00	02:29:35:00	THE SECOND IS JUNE 21ST IS FAR
02:29:35:00	02:29:35:00	AWAY AND MANY TIMES WE DO PASS
02:29:35:00	02:29:38:00	THINGS THINKING THAT THE MONEY
02:29:38:00	02:29:39:00	HAS TO GET THERE BEFORE AN
02:29:39:00	02:29:41:00	EVENT CAN HAPPEN AND I DO KNOW
02:29:41:00	02:29:42:00	THE CITY IS MORE THAN CAPABLE
02:29:42:00	02:29:46:00	OF MAKING SURE THAT PORCHFEST
02:29:46:00	02:29:46:00	IN FENWAY WOULD NEVER BE
02:29:46:00	02:29:49:00	AFFECTED OR HAVE TO CHANGE
02:29:49:00	02:29:50:00	THEIR PROGRAMING THAT I KNOW
02:29:50:00	02:29:50:00	THEY'VE ALREADY DONE A LOT
02:29:50:00	02:29:54:00	OF WORK ON TO GET THAT UP AND
02:29:54:00	02:29:56:00	RUNNING FOR JUNE 21ST.
02:29:56:00	02:29:57:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
02:29:57:00	02:29:57:00	COUNCILOR DURKAN IF YOU'D LIKE
02:29:57:00	02:30:00:00	TO RESPOND TO THE CHAIR YOU
02:30:00:00	02:30:00:00	MAY.
02:30:00:00	02:30:03:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH.
02:30:03:00	02:30:04:00	I THINK FOR A LOT OF US YOU
02:30:04:00	02:30:08:00	KNOW ME COUNCILOR ANDERSON AND
02:30:08:00	02:30:08:00	ALL THE AT-LARGE COUNCILORS I
02:30:08:00	02:30:12:00	THINK WE ALL ARE AWARE THAT IF
02:30:12:00	02:30:14:00	YOU HAVE YOU KNOW 30,000 PEOPLE
02:30:14:00	02:30:17:00	COME IN TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
02:30:17:00	02:30:22:00	FOR THREE MONTHS THAT IMPACT IS
02:30:22:00	02:30:26:00	FELT THAT IMPACT SO PARTIALLY I
02:30:26:00	02:30:26:00	THINK THE WAY THAT IT'S WRITTEN
02:30:26:00	02:30:27:00	I JUST WANT TO SHARE THAT THE
02:30:27:00	02:30:30:00	REASON THAT SAYS ARTS AND PARKS
02:30:30:00	02:30:30:00	IS ACTUALLY COMING STRAIGHT
02:30:30:00	02:30:34:00	FROM THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE WHEN
02:30:34:00	02:30:41:00	THEY SAW THE THE GAMES AND THE
02:30:41:00	02:30:42:00	PARKS IMPACTS THOSE WERE THE
02:30:42:00	02:30:46:00	TOP CONCERN OF NEIGHBORHOOD
02:30:46:00	02:30:46:00	RESIDENTS OUT OF WOOD THE
02:30:46:00	02:30:49:00	IMPACTS THAT THEY FEEL EVERY
02:30:49:00	02:30:52:00	DAY HAVING 30,000 PEOPLE GO IN
02:30:52:00	02:30:55:00	AND OUT OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD
02:30:55:00	02:30:56:00	YOU KNOW, FOR MONTHS.
02:30:56:00	02:30:57:00	AND SO I GUESS WHAT I'M ASKING
02:30:57:00	02:31:00:00	FOR TODAY IS FOR MY COLLEAGUES
02:31:00:00	02:31:03:00	TO SUPPORT THE FENWAY IN
02:31:03:00	02:31:04:00	PASSING THIS EXPEDITIOUSLY.
02:31:04:00	02:31:04:00	I THINK WE'VE HAD A
02:31:04:00	02:31:08:00	CONVERSATION HERE ON THE FLOOR
02:31:08:00	02:31:08:00	ABOUT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
02:31:08:00	02:31:09:00	I THINK THE WAY THAT IT'S
02:31:09:00	02:31:12:00	WRITTEN IS IS IS A LEGAL REASON
02:31:12:00	02:31:15:00	THIS IS A GIFT TO THE CITY.
02:31:15:00	02:31:16:00	SO IT NEEDS TO REMAIN
02:31:16:00	02:31:19:00	UNRESTRICTED.
02:31:19:00	02:31:20:00	SO THAT IS WHY IT'S WRITTEN THE
02:31:20:00	02:31:21:00	WAY THAT IT'S WRITTEN AND I DO
02:31:21:00	02:31:24:00	JUST WANT I THINK THE ADVOCACY
02:31:24:00	02:31:27:00	OF MANY BY THE ADVOCACY OF THE
02:31:27:00	02:31:28:00	FENWAY CIVIC ASSOCIATION, THE
02:31:28:00	02:31:28:00	ADVOCACY OF COUNCILOR BOK,
02:31:28:00	02:31:32:00	FORMER COUNCILOR BOK THAT IS
02:31:32:00	02:31:35:00	WHY WE'RE IN THE POSITION THAT
02:31:35:00	02:31:35:00	WE'RE IN TODAY.
02:31:35:00	02:31:36:00	I DO BELIEVE THAT WHEN
02:31:36:00	02:31:39:00	COMMUNITIES HAVE CERTAIN
02:31:39:00	02:31:39:00	IMPACTS THOSE SHOULD BE
02:31:39:00	02:31:40:00	MITIGATED AND I THINK IT'S AN
02:31:40:00	02:31:43:00	ISSUE OF FAIRNESS AND I HAVE
02:31:43:00	02:31:46:00	ALWAYS WHEN THERE IS AN
02:31:46:00	02:31:47:00	OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT THE
02:31:47:00	02:31:49:00	ENTIRE CITY ADVOCATED FOR THAT
02:31:49:00	02:31:50:00	THEY'LL LOVE YOUR BLOCK.
02:31:50:00	02:31:51:00	FUNDING FROM LAST YEAR WAS A
02:31:51:00	02:31:54:00	RESULT OF THERE BEING MONEY
02:31:54:00	02:31:54:00	LEFT OVER AND I THINK THAT
02:31:54:00	02:31:57:00	THERE WILL ALWAYS BE MONEY LEFT
02:31:57:00	02:31:58:00	OVER FOR EVERYONE AND I THINK
02:31:58:00	02:32:01:00	THAT WE SHOULD HAVE THAT
02:32:01:00	02:32:02:00	CONVERSATION ABOUT THERE ARE A
02:32:02:00	02:32:05:00	LOT OF ARTS GROUPS THAT WERE
02:32:05:00	02:32:06:00	DOING THINGS IN THE FENWAY THAT
02:32:06:00	02:32:09:00	WERE FUNDED.
02:32:09:00	02:32:10:00	SO IT'S NOT JUST THIS THIS
02:32:10:00	02:32:10:00	BENEFITS THE WHOLE CITY AND I
02:32:10:00	02:32:13:00	JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO LIKE
02:32:13:00	02:32:16:00	THE THINKING AROUND WHY THIS
02:32:16:00	02:32:17:00	MONEY IS GIVEN IS REALLY
02:32:17:00	02:32:20:00	BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS WITH BALL
02:32:20:00	02:32:24:00	GAMES AND BIG CONCERTS IS OFTEN
02:32:24:00	02:32:27:00	WE'RE SUPPORTING BIG ACTS AND
02:32:27:00	02:32:28:00	BIG ARTS AND WHAT THIS THE GOAL
02:32:28:00	02:32:32:00	OF THIS IS FENWAY IT'S
02:32:32:00	02:32:33:00	TRADITIONALLY I'M ACTUALLY ON
02:32:33:00	02:32:35:00	THE BOARD OF THE FENWAY STUDIO
02:32:35:00	02:32:36:00	AND THE FENWAY WAS AN ARTS
02:32:36:00	02:32:39:00	COMMUNITY TO START THAT WAS IT
02:32:39:00	02:32:41:00	WAS KNOWN AS LIKE SORT OF TWO
02:32:41:00	02:32:46:00	PLACES THE FIRST ARTS CO-OP IN
02:32:46:00	02:32:47:00	THE WHOLE NATION IS IN THE
02:32:47:00	02:32:47:00	FENWAY.
02:32:47:00	02:32:50:00	SO I JUST WANT TO SHARE THAT
02:32:50:00	02:32:51:00	LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF HISTORY
02:32:51:00	02:32:51:00	HERE.
02:32:51:00	02:32:53:00	THERE'S A LOT OF REASONING FOR
02:32:53:00	02:32:54:00	THIS GRANT AND I WOULD JUST
02:32:54:00	02:32:54:00	LIKE MY AT-LARGE COLLEAGUES TO
02:32:54:00	02:32:57:00	SUPPORT ME IN PUSHING FOR MONEY
02:32:57:00	02:32:58:00	FOR THE FENWAY GIVEN THE
02:32:58:00	02:33:01:00	IMPACTS THAT THEY FEEL ALL THE
02:33:01:00	02:33:01:00	TIME.
02:33:01:00	02:33:04:00	I ACTUALLY LEAD THE DNC WHICH
02:33:04:00	02:33:05:00	IS THE FENWAY PARK NEIGHBORHOOD
02:33:05:00	02:33:08:00	CONCERT COMMITTEE AND THERE'S A
02:33:08:00	02:33:09:00	REALLY COMMITTED GROUP
02:33:09:00	02:33:13:00	OF RESIDENTS THAT ARE A PART
02:33:13:00	02:33:14:00	OF THAT AND WE WORK ON THIS
02:33:14:00	02:33:16:00	STUFF EVERY DAY SO THAT'S
02:33:16:00	02:33:17:00	REALLY THAT'S WHY THAT'S WHY
02:33:17:00	02:33:20:00	I'M SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS
02:33:20:00	02:33:20:00	TODAY.

02:33:32:00	02:33:32:00	INTO FENWAY.
02:33:32:00	02:33:33:00	LIKE I SAID, I JUST DON'T LIKE
02:33:33:00	02:33:34:00	THE WAY THAT THE GRANT IS
02:33:34:00	02:33:36:00	WORDED TO SAY ACROSS BOSTON.
02:33:36:00	02:33:40:00	SO AS SOMEONE WHO SUPPORTS ALL
02:33:40:00	02:33:40:00	THE NEIGHBORHOODS ACROSS THE
02:33:40:00	02:33:43:00	CITY AND LIKE I SAID, I JUST
02:33:43:00	02:33:43:00	THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
02:33:43:00	02:33:44:00	HAVE A CONVERSATION AND MAYBE
02:33:44:00	02:33:47:00	WE CAN TALK MORE TO THE
02:33:47:00	02:33:47:00	ADMINISTRATION.
02:33:47:00	02:33:48:00	COUNCIL CAN IN ITS INNOCENT
02:33:48:00	02:33:51:00	ABOUT THE GRANTS AND HOW THEY
02:33:51:00	02:33:52:00	ARE WORDED TO MAKE SURE IF IT
02:33:52:00	02:33:54:00	IS LEGAL OR NOT TO MAKE SURE
02:33:54:00	02:33:55:00	THAT WE ARE DOING OUR DUE
02:33:55:00	02:33:58:00	DILIGENCE AND NOT LEAVING ANY
02:33:58:00	02:34:01:00	ANY NEIGHBORHOODS OR EVENTS OUT
02:34:01:00	02:34:02:00	THAT COULD BENEFIT FROM GRANTS

02:34:06:00	02:34:07:00	IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A GRANT
02:34:07:00	02:34:08:00	AWAY AND PREDOMINANTLY IT'S
02:34:08:00	02:34:09:00	GOING TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUT
02:34:09:00	02:34:10:00	THERE ARE LIKE I LOVE YOUR
02:34:10:00	02:34:11:00	BAROQUE BLOCK WHICH IS ACROSS
02:34:11:00	02:34:13:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON THAT THERE
02:34:13:00	02:34:14:00	ARE SOME GRANTS, THAT THERE ARE
02:34:14:00	02:34:14:00	SOME CITYWIDE EFFORTS THAT ARE
02:34:14:00	02:34:17:00	SUPPORTED VIA THIS GRANT.

02:34:21:00	02:34:25:00	MADAM PRESIDENT AND
02:34:25:00	02:34:25:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY ARE SAYING
02:34:25:00	02:34:28:00	THAT NO, NO.
02:34:28:00	02:34:29:00	I BELIEVE IT WAS
02:34:29:00	02:34:33:00	COUNCILOR DURKAN WHO STATED OR

02:34:37:00	02:34:37:00	RECIPIENT.
02:34:37:00	02:34:38:00	I THINK IT'S AMONG THE THINGS
02:34:38:00	02:34:40:00	THAT SHE IS.
02:34:40:00	02:34:40:00	I'M NOT SAYING THAT IT'S
02:34:40:00	02:34:41:00	PREDOMINANT BUT IT IS PART
02:34:41:00	02:34:41:00	OF IT.
02:34:41:00	02:34:44:00	SO LIKE IF THAT IS TRUE THEN

02:34:52:00	02:34:55:00	OF LIKE WHY WHEN WE HAVE THESE
02:34:55:00	02:34:58:00	DISCUSSIONS ON WEDNESDAY DURING
02:34:58:00	02:34:59:00	THE WEDNESDAY MEETINGS WHY
02:34:59:00	02:35:05:00	THINGS GET A LITTLE CUCKOO BUT
02:35:05:00	02:35:08:00	I JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT I'M
02:35:08:00	02:35:09:00	REALLY HOPING THAT MY
02:35:09:00	02:35:10:00	COLLEAGUES UNDERSTAND THIS
02:35:10:00	02:35:12:00	MOMENT AND WHEN WE HAVE WHITE
02:35:12:00	02:35:16:00	STADIUM THAT Y'ALL ARE FIGHTING
