01:32:53:00	01:32:54:00	ROXBURY BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD IS
01:32:54:00	01:32:55:00	GETTING ALL OF THIS MONEY THAT
01:32:55:00	01:32:57:00	DOESN'T BELONG IN ROXBURY THAT
01:32:57:00	01:33:01:00	IT IS DORCHESTER OR THAT IT IS
01:33:01:00	01:33:01:00	JP JAMAICA PLAIN.
01:33:01:00	01:33:05:00	AND THEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT
01:33:05:00	01:33:05:00	ALSTOM BRIGHTON, ALSTOM
01:33:05:00	01:33:10:00	BRIGHTON'S TOTAL WHEN YOU GO BY
01:33:10:00	01:33:13:00	NEIGHBORHOOD IT SAYS 100
01:33:13:00	01:33:13:00	MILLION POINT SOMETHING BUT
01:33:13:00	01:33:17:00	THEN WHEN YOU GO TO DISTRICT
01:33:17:00	01:33:17:00	NINE THEN ITS TOTAL CAPITAL
01:33:17:00	01:33:20:00	BUDGET IS 53 MILLION.
01:33:20:00	01:33:23:00	SO THOSE DISCREPANCIES EXIST
01:33:23:00	01:33:24:00	LIKE ALL OVER THE PLACE I GOING
01:33:24:00	01:33:27:00	GO ON AND ON AND ON BELABOR THE
01:33:27:00	01:33:27:00	POINT BUT I THINK IT IS
01:33:27:00	01:33:30:00	CONFUSING AND MISLEADING TO
01:33:30:00	01:33:31:00	CONSTITUENTS TO LOOK AT IT AND
01:33:31:00	01:33:32:00	SAY OH THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS
01:33:32:00	01:33:35:00	GETTING ALL OF THIS MONEY BUT
01:33:35:00	01:33:35:00	THEN THE AWESOME BRIGHTON IF
01:33:35:00	01:33:39:00	I'M NOT MISTAKEN IS ONLY IN
01:33:39:00	01:33:39:00	DISTRICT NINE SO AWESOME
01:33:39:00	01:33:45:00	BRIGHTON'S TOTAL CAN BE
01:33:45:00	01:33:45:00	53,000,100 MILLION BUT THEN
01:33:45:00	01:33:47:00	DISTRICT NINE TOTALS 53 MILLION
01:33:47:00	01:33:48:00	SO AND AGAIN THAT EXISTS ALL
01:33:48:00	01:33:52:00	OVER THE PLACE BETWEEN ROXBURY
01:33:52:00	01:33:52:00	AND DORCHESTER OR ROXBURY AND
01:33:52:00	01:33:56:00	JP SOUTHEND WHEN YOU LOOK IN
01:33:56:00	01:33:56:00	MULTIPLE NEIGHBORHOODS AS WELL
01:33:56:00	01:33:59:00	THE NUMBERS DON'T MATCH FROM
01:33:59:00	01:34:00:00	DISTRICT TO NEIGHBORHOOD OR IF
01:34:00:00	01:34:03:00	IT SAYS MULTIPLE NEIGHBORHOODS
01:34:03:00	01:34:07:00	BUT IT'S ONLY IN THE NORTH END
01:34:07:00	01:34:07:00	THEN IT SHOULD BE ONLY NORTH
01:34:07:00	01:34:08:00	END IF IT SHOULD.
01:34:08:00	01:34:10:00	AND THEN THAT NUMBER SHOULD BE
01:34:10:00	01:34:11:00	INCLUDED IN THAT DISTRICT SO
01:34:11:00	01:34:15:00	PEOPLE CAN BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT
01:34:15:00	01:34:15:00	WHAT EACH DISTRICT IS GETTING
01:34:15:00	01:34:16:00	OR EACH NEIGHBORHOOD IS
01:34:16:00	01:34:16:00	GETTING.
01:34:16:00	01:34:19:00	SO DON'T MIX IT UP WHEN IT'S
01:34:19:00	01:34:19:00	CONVENIENT TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE
01:34:19:00	01:34:22:00	THAT DISTRICT IS GETTING LESS
01:34:22:00	01:34:23:00	OR DISTRICTS HAVING IS GETTING
01:34:23:00	01:34:26:00	A LOT WHEN IT'S NOT AND THEN
01:34:26:00	01:34:29:00	SORT OF SEPARATING WHAT'S NEW
01:34:29:00	01:34:30:00	AT FROM THE PLAN AND HOW LONG
01:34:30:00	01:34:33:00	IT'S BEEN TAKEN.
01:34:33:00	01:34:34:00	SO JUST SOME THOUGHTS THERE AND
01:34:34:00	01:34:35:00	I WOULD JUST LIKE A MORE

01:34:45:00	01:34:45:00	SESSION IS WHERE IT MATTERS.

01:36:01:00	01:36:04:00	BOSTON HAS LONG BEEN A NATIONAL

01:36:13:00	01:36:16:00	THE CHALLENGES FACED BY OUR
01:36:16:00	01:36:16:00	COMMUNITY RESIDENTS WHETHER

01:36:19:00	01:36:20:00	HEALTH CARE AND EMPLOYMENT
01:36:20:00	01:36:23:00	SAFETY ARE REAL AND URGENT.
01:36:23:00	01:36:24:00	THESE CHALLENGES ARE MADE EVEN
01:36:24:00	01:36:27:00	MORE COMPLEX BY INTERSECTING

01:36:39:00	01:36:42:00	JUST REACTING TO MOMENTS

01:36:50:00	01:36:51:00	FOR ADVOCACY POLICY AND

01:37:24:00	01:37:27:00	AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE

01:37:35:00	01:37:39:00	COUNCILOR ANDERSON'S WORK IN
01:37:39:00	01:37:41:00	THIS SPACE THAT STARTED BACK IN
01:37:41:00	01:37:45:00	20 1824 I BELIEVE IT WAS WHEN
01:37:45:00	01:37:45:00	YOU WERE PUSHING FOR THIS.
01:37:45:00	01:37:53:00	SO YOU'RE MY HONORARY SPONSOR.
01:37:53:00	01:37:53:00	SO MORE OR LESS NOT ONLY AN
01:37:53:00	01:37:57:00	ASSET IT IS A NECESSITY.
01:37:57:00	01:37:58:00	IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE TAKE
01:37:58:00	01:37:58:00	THIS STEP AND CODIFY.
01:37:58:00	01:38:00:00	MOHLER INTO THE CITY
01:38:00:00	01:38:01:00	CODE BECAUSE THE REALITY IS
01:38:01:00	01:38:05:00	THAT LEADERSHIP CHANGES AND AT
01:38:05:00	01:38:05:00	ANY POINT SOMEONE IN POWER CAN
01:38:05:00	01:38:08:00	COME ALONG AND SAY YOU KNOW
01:38:08:00	01:38:09:00	WHAT, WE DON'T NEED THIS AND WE
01:38:09:00	01:38:12:00	ARE SEEING THAT HAPPENING MORE
01:38:12:00	01:38:12:00	AND MORE TODAY WITH THE
01:38:12:00	01:38:15:00	UNMANAGEABLE TO DEGREE.
01:38:15:00	01:38:16:00	RIGHT NOW THAT IS HAPPENING AT
01:38:16:00	01:38:17:00	THE FEDERAL LEVEL.
01:38:17:00	01:38:19:00	THIS IS WHY THIS MOMENT IS
01:38:19:00	01:38:22:00	IMPORTANT BECAUSE PROTECTING
01:38:22:00	01:38:23:00	PROGRESS MEANS MAKING IT
01:38:23:00	01:38:23:00	PERMANENT.
01:38:23:00	01:38:26:00	WE MUST BE PROACTIVE IN THESE
01:38:26:00	01:38:27:00	TIMES AND BUILD RESILIENCE
01:38:27:00	01:38:30:00	MEASURES THAT PROTECT THE VERY
01:38:30:00	01:38:31:00	SAME AGENCIES THAT PROTECT OUR
01:38:31:00	01:38:34:00	CITY AND MAKE IT SAFER A PLACE
01:38:34:00	01:38:35:00	FOR EVERYONE TO FEEL LIKE THEY
01:38:35:00	01:38:38:00	ARE ABLE TO LIVE AND THRIVE.
01:38:38:00	01:38:41:00	WE'RE ALSO SEEING THE HARD
01:38:41:00	01:38:45:00	FOUGHT RIGHTS OF OUR LGBT QIA2
01:38:45:00	01:38:49:00	PLUS COMMUNITIES BEING
01:38:49:00	01:38:50:00	ATTEMPTED TO BE ERASED WITH THE
01:38:50:00	01:38:53:00	FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SWING STATES
01:38:53:00	01:38:54:00	OVER ALLOWING TRANS PEOPLE TO
01:38:54:00	01:38:57:00	PLAY SPORTS, ELIMINATING HIV
01:38:57:00	01:39:00:00	PREVENTION RESEARCH AND WITH NO
01:39:00:00	01:39:01:00	REGARD FOR THE CONSEQUENCES
01:39:01:00	01:39:04:00	THESE ACTIONS WILL HAVE ON THEM
01:39:04:00	01:39:05:00	BUT ALSO ON EVERY SINGLE ONE
01:39:05:00	01:39:05:00	OF US.
01:39:05:00	01:39:08:00	THE NEED IS NOW FOR US TO TAKE
01:39:08:00	01:39:09:00	THIS NEXT STEP AND FURTHER
01:39:09:00	01:39:12:00	ACTION TO STRENGTHEN MOHLER.
01:39:12:00	01:39:15:00	IT IS OUR TIME AND IT'S BEEN
01:39:15:00	01:39:16:00	BEYOND THE TIME AND I'VE SAID
01:39:16:00	01:39:17:00	THIS BEFORE AND I'LL SAY IT
01:39:17:00	01:39:19:00	AGAIN THAT WE AT THE CITY LEVEL
01:39:19:00	01:39:23:00	MUST STEP UP AND STEP IN AND I
01:39:23:00	01:39:24:00	BELIEVE THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO
01:39:24:00	01:39:27:00	DO MORE HERE IN BOSTON THROUGH
01:39:27:00	01:39:28:00	CODIFYING MOHLER INTO OUR
01:39:28:00	01:39:31:00	CHARTER AND COMMITTING TO

01:39:32:00	01:39:32:00	WITH THE RESOURCES NECESSARY TO
01:39:32:00	01:39:35:00	ADEQUATELY PROTECT THIS
01:39:35:00	01:39:35:00	COMMUNITY.
01:39:35:00	01:39:36:00	THANK YOU AND I'LL JUST ADD
01:39:36:00	01:39:40:00	THAT I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME
01:39:40:00	01:39:41:00	THAT WE CODIFIED AN OFFICE WAS

01:39:47:00	01:39:48:00	WE NOTICED THEN EVEN THOUGH
01:39:48:00	01:39:51:00	THIS COMMUNITY WAS NOT UNDER
01:39:51:00	01:39:52:00	SEVERE ATTACK WE UNDERSTOOD THE
01:39:52:00	01:39:55:00	CLIMATE THAT WE WERE IN THEN
01:39:55:00	01:39:56:00	AND I FEEL LIKE NOW MORE THAN
01:39:56:00	01:39:59:00	EVER WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT
01:39:59:00	01:40:02:00	THESE DEPARTMENTS WHILE THEY
01:40:02:00	01:40:03:00	GET FUNDED DOESN'T NECESSARILY
01:40:03:00	01:40:07:00	MEAN THAT THEY WILL ALWAYS BE
01:40:07:00	01:40:07:00	ABLE TO STAND WHATEVER
01:40:07:00	01:40:10:00	LEADERSHIP CHANGES AND SO I'M

01:40:33:00	01:40:33:00	TO ESTABLISH THE OFFICE
01:40:33:00	01:40:37:00	OF LGBTQ I ALL THIS I A TO ASK
01:40:37:00	01:40:44:00	PLUS FOR THE CITY OF BOSTON YOU
01:40:44:00	01:40:45:00	KNOW I HAVEN'T ALWAYS LIVED
01:40:45:00	01:40:47:00	HERE I CAME HERE IN 1995 AND I
01:40:47:00	01:40:47:00	GREW UP IN NORTHERN IRELAND
01:40:47:00	01:40:51:00	WHICH IS A VERY CONSERVATIVE.
01:40:51:00	01:40:51:00	IT CERTAINLY WAS A VERY
01:40:51:00	01:40:54:00	CONSERVATIVE HOMOPHOBIC SOCIETY
01:40:54:00	01:40:55:00	BACK IN THE SEVENTIES AND
01:40:55:00	01:40:59:00	EIGHTIES I WAS AN ACTIVE MEMBER
01:40:59:00	01:41:00:00	OF THE OF MY CHURCH THE
01:41:00:00	01:41:02:00	EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
01:41:02:00	01:41:03:00	UM, BUT IT WAS HOMOPHOBIC.
01:41:03:00	01:41:06:00	WE COULDN'T BE OURSELVES.
01:41:06:00	01:41:07:00	WE COULDN'T COME OUT, WE
01:41:07:00	01:41:10:00	COULDN'T BE RECOGNIZED, WE
01:41:10:00	01:41:11:00	COULDN'T BE VISIBLE.
01:41:11:00	01:41:14:00	UM AND ULTIMATELY I LEFT THE
01:41:14:00	01:41:15:00	CHURCH AND DIDN'T GO BACK FOR
01:41:15:00	01:41:15:00	40 YEARS.
01:41:15:00	01:41:18:00	SO THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF WHEN
01:41:18:00	01:41:21:00	I WAS A YOUNG PERSON BACK HOME 
01:41:21:00	01:41:22:00	YOUNG PEOPLE DID NOT FEEL SAFE
01:41:22:00	01:41:23:00	AND MANY OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE
01:41:23:00	01:41:26:00	WHO GROWING UP IN THE UNITED
01:41:26:00	01:41:26:00	STATES TODAY DO NOT FEEL SAFE
01:41:26:00	01:41:29:00	TO BE EXPRESS THEMSELVES AND BE
01:41:29:00	01:41:30:00	THEMSELVES.
01:41:30:00	01:41:30:00	WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL A
01:41:30:00	01:41:33:00	YOUNG STUDENT, A MAN YOUNG MAN
01:41:33:00	01:41:34:00	WHO PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN
01:41:34:00	01:41:38:00	DESCRIBED OR SELF-IDENTIFIED AS
01:41:38:00	01:41:38:00	NON-BINARY AND THIS TIME
01:41:38:00	01:41:42:00	COMMITTED SUICIDE AND THERE WAS
01:41:42:00	01:41:42:00	NO MENTION OF HIM JUST OH IS
01:41:42:00	01:41:45:00	COMMIT SUICIDE.
01:41:45:00	01:41:46:00	BUT IT VERY CLEAR THAT THE
01:41:46:00	01:41:49:00	SOCIETY THAT WE WERE LIVING IN
01:41:49:00	01:41:50:00	PROMPTED THIS VERY DESPERATE
01:41:50:00	01:41:52:00	ACTION.
01:41:52:00	01:41:53:00	WE DIDN'T HAVE GAY-STRAIGHT
01:41:53:00	01:41:54:00	ALLIANCE GROUPS, WE DIDN'T HAVE
01:41:54:00	01:41:57:00	ANY VISIBLE SUPPORT FOR YOUNG
01:41:57:00	01:41:57:00	PEOPLE GROWING UP IN NORTHERN
01:41:57:00	01:42:00:00	IRELAND AND I THINK WE'RE
01:42:00:00	01:42:01:00	MOVING WE'VE BEEN MOVING OVER
01:42:01:00	01:42:02:00	THE LAST 50 YEARS HERE IN THE
01:42:02:00	01:42:04:00	UNITED STATES TO REALLY AND
01:42:04:00	01:42:08:00	LONGER THAN THAT TO CHANGE
01:42:08:00	01:42:08:00	THAT.
01:42:08:00	01:42:12:00	SO I I CAME OUT IN WHEN I WAS
01:42:12:00	01:42:13:00	IN MY LIKE A REALLY CAME OUT IN
01:42:13:00	01:42:16:00	MY IN MY THIRTIES UM AND I
01:42:16:00	01:42:17:00	SHARED WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH
01:42:17:00	01:42:20:00	ME WITH A TRUSTED ADULT WHO HAD
01:42:20:00	01:42:21:00	BEEN A TEACHER AND A MENTOR FOR
01:42:21:00	01:42:24:00	ME AS A YOUNG PERSON UM WHEN I
01:42:24:00	01:42:25:00	WAS A TEENAGER BUT I HADN'T
01:42:25:00	01:42:28:00	COME OUT TO THEM AT THAT TIME
01:42:28:00	01:42:29:00	SO IT WAS ONLY WENT SO FAR AND
01:42:29:00	01:42:31:00	THIS THEIR OWN HOMOPHOBIA
01:42:31:00	01:42:32:00	PROMPTED THE RESPONSE THAT I
01:42:32:00	01:42:36:00	SHOULD LEAVE NORTHERN IRELAND
01:42:36:00	01:42:36:00	SHOULDN'T THEIR OWN HOMOPHOBIA
01:42:36:00	01:42:39:00	SCARED THEM AND I HAD TO LEAVE
01:42:39:00	01:42:40:00	NORTHERN IRELAND.
01:42:40:00	01:42:43:00	I REALLY DID HAVE TO LEAVE IN
01:42:43:00	01:42:47:00	THE SENSE THAT I DIDN'T FEEL
01:42:47:00	01:42:48:00	SAFE TO BE OUT AND ABOUT AND
01:42:48:00	01:42:49:00	WHO I WAS TO EXPRESS MYSELF
01:42:49:00	01:42:51:00	FULLY IN NORTHERN IRELAND AT
01:42:51:00	01:42:51:00	THE TIME AND I CAME TO BOSTON
01:42:51:00	01:42:55:00	AND THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING I
01:42:55:00	01:42:55:00	TALK ABOUT THE FIRST TIME I
01:42:55:00	01:42:56:00	WENT TO THE GAY PRIDE PARADE I
01:42:56:00	01:42:59:00	WENT TO THE INTERFAITH SERVICE
01:42:59:00	01:43:00:00	AT THE OLD SOUTH CHURCH AND I
01:43:00:00	01:43:03:00	SAT BESIDE A LOVELY GAY GUY
01:43:03:00	01:43:06:00	IRISH GUY FROM DORCHESTER AND
01:43:06:00	01:43:07:00	HE JUST KEPT HANDING ME THIS
01:43:07:00	01:43:10:00	KLEENEX AND I CRIED THE WHOLE
01:43:10:00	01:43:11:00	WAY THROUGH AND I WALKED OUT
01:43:11:00	01:43:14:00	INTO THE SUNSHINE ON BOYLSTON
01:43:14:00	01:43:15:00	STREET AND THERE WAS A COLOR
01:43:15:00	01:43:16:00	GUARD FROM THE POLICE
01:43:16:00	01:43:19:00	DEPARTMENT AND MAYOR MCNAMARA
01:43:19:00	01:43:19:00	WELL THAT WAS THE OTHER GUY,
01:43:19:00	01:43:27:00	MAYOR MENINO WAS THERE
01:43:27:00	01:43:28:00	SORRY MAYOR MENINO WAS THERE
01:43:28:00	01:43:29:00	WITH A POLICE COLOR GUARD AND I
01:43:29:00	01:43:32:00	WAS GOING WOW, THIS IS
01:43:32:00	01:43:32:00	INCREDIBLE.
01:43:32:00	01:43:33:00	THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN
01:43:33:00	01:43:36:00	NORTHERN IRELAND.
01:43:36:00	01:43:37:00	SO YOU KNOW, THIS HISTORY HAS
01:43:37:00	01:43:40:00	HAS IT WE'VE I KNOW I'VE BEEN
01:43:40:00	01:43:40:00	INVOLVED IN SOME OF THE
01:43:40:00	01:43:41:00	STRUGGLES HERE IN THE CITY LIKE
01:43:41:00	01:43:44:00	THE EQUAL MARRIAGE CAMPAIGN AND
01:43:44:00	01:43:48:00	THE BATHROOM CAMPAIGN AND ALL
01:43:48:00	01:43:48:00	OF THAT.
01:43:48:00	01:43:49:00	BUT YOU KNOW, WE'VE MADE
01:43:49:00	01:43:52:00	INCREDIBLE PROGRESS AND WE'RE
01:43:52:00	01:43:55:00	NOT FINISHED MAKING PROGRESS.
01:43:55:00	01:43:56:00	BUT RIGHT IN THIS MOMENT IN
01:43:56:00	01:43:56:00	THIS COUNTRY THERE'S AN EFFORT
01:43:56:00	01:43:59:00	A SEVERE AND SERIOUS EFFORT TO
01:43:59:00	01:43:59:00	PUSH US BACK INTO THE CLOSET
01:43:59:00	01:44:00:00	AND MAKE US DISAPPEAR
01:44:00:00	01:44:03:00	COMPLETELY BACK INTO THE
01:44:03:00	01:44:03:00	CLOSET.
01:44:03:00	01:44:04:00	YOU KNOW, THE BANNING BOOKS ARE
01:44:04:00	01:44:07:00	BANNING TRANSGENDER AFFIRMING
01:44:07:00	01:44:07:00	CARE.
01:44:07:00	01:44:08:00	THEY'RE OPENING UP THE GATES TO
01:44:08:00	01:44:11:00	DISCRIMINATE IN EMPLOYMENT AND
01:44:11:00	01:44:12:00	HOUSING AND ALL OF THAT ALL
01:44:12:00	01:44:12:00	ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
01:44:12:00	01:44:15:00	I'M VERY PROUD THAT BOSTON AND
01:44:15:00	01:44:16:00	MASSACHUSETTS IS HOLDING STRONG
01:44:16:00	01:44:19:00	SO I REALLY APPLAUD THIS EFFORT
01:44:19:00	01:44:23:00	TO TRY AND CODIFY OUR
01:44:23:00	01:44:27:00	DEPARTMENT OF THE LGBTQ IA2 AS
01:44:27:00	01:44:31:00	PLUS I'LL NEVER GET RID OF THIS
01:44:31:00	01:44:32:00	CRIME BUT TO AFFIRM THAT WE ARE
01:44:32:00	01:44:34:00	FULLY HUMAN AND WE DESERVE TO
01:44:34:00	01:44:38:00	BE SEEN AND TREATED WITH
01:44:38:00	01:44:38:00	DIGNITY AND RESPECT.
01:44:38:00	01:44:42:00	AND I THINK IN CODIFYING THIS
01:44:42:00	01:44:43:00	WILL HELP IN THAT EFFORT AND
01:44:43:00	01:44:46:00	SEND A STRONG MESSAGE TO THOSE
01:44:46:00	01:44:46:00	YOUNG PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITIES

01:45:12:00	01:45:14:00	I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING
01:45:14:00	01:45:15:00	BUT EVERY TIME I LIGHT UP MY
01:45:15:00	01:45:16:00	MIC YOU ARE TURNING IT OFF BY
01:45:16:00	01:45:18:00	ACCIDENT SO JUST BE MINDFUL
01:45:18:00	01:45:19:00	OF THAT TO THE FILER.
01:45:19:00	01:45:22:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FILING.
01:45:22:00	01:45:24:00	I DID FILE THIS AT THE END
01:45:24:00	01:45:25:00	OF 2020 FOR AND NOT SURE
01:45:25:00	01:45:28:00	THROUGH THE MADAM PRESIDENT IF
01:45:28:00	01:45:29:00	I MAY ASK A QUESTION TO THE
01:45:29:00	01:45:32:00	PILOT TO THE CHAIR YOU MAY DID
01:45:32:00	01:45:33:00	YOU DID YOU GUYS CONTACT AND
01:45:33:00	01:45:35:00	ALSO IF YOU COULD ASK THE
01:45:35:00	01:45:36:00	QUESTION DIRECTLY TO ME.
01:45:36:00	01:45:36:00	SURE.
01:45:36:00	01:45:40:00	DID YOU GUYS CONTACT MY OFFICE?
01:45:40:00	01:45:41:00	I'M SORRY IF YOU DIDN'T SEE THE
01:45:41:00	01:45:43:00	EMAILS THEY WERE
01:45:43:00	01:45:44:00	COMMUNICATIONS.
01:45:44:00	01:45:45:00	I'M SURE YOU DID AND I THINK
01:45:45:00	01:45:47:00	IT'S ALL IN GOOD INTENTION AND
01:45:47:00	01:45:48:00	I DON'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THE
01:45:48:00	01:45:50:00	PERSON TO FILE THE THING AND
01:45:50:00	01:45:50:00	GET THE CREDIT.
01:45:50:00	01:45:51:00	I THINK WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS
01:45:51:00	01:45:52:00	THAT WE DO IT.
01:45:52:00	01:45:54:00	WE STICK TOGETHER, WE REPRESENT
01:45:54:00	01:45:55:00	PEOPLE AND WE FIGHT FOR WHAT'S
01:45:55:00	01:45:55:00	RIGHT.
01:45:55:00	01:45:59:00	SO WHEN I DID FILE IT I THINK
01:45:59:00	01:46:01:00	THE CHAIR OF OPS CANCELED MY
01:46:01:00	01:46:02:00	HEARING WITHOUT ASKING ME AND
01:46:02:00	01:46:06:00	HER INTENTIONS WAS TO PROTECT
01:46:06:00	01:46:06:00	ME BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT
01:46:06:00	01:46:07:00	GOING ON.
01:46:07:00	01:46:07:00	SO I APPRECIATE THAT TOO AND
01:46:07:00	01:46:10:00	ALL IS FORGIVEN.
01:46:10:00	01:46:10:00	IT'S ALL GOOD.
01:46:10:00	01:46:13:00	I REALLY I REALLY LIKE WHAT YOU
01:46:13:00	01:46:13:00	FILED.
01:46:13:00	01:46:17:00	KUDOS TO YOUR POLICY PERSON AND
01:46:17:00	01:46:21:00	I APPRECIATE JUST THE WORK

01:46:22:00	01:46:22:00	YOU'VE DONE.

01:46:28:00	01:46:28:00	RESPECTED.
01:46:28:00	01:46:29:00	I SUPPORT YOU.
01:46:29:00	01:46:31:00	THANK YOU.
01:46:31:00	01:46:32:00	THANK YOU.
01:46:32:00	01:46:32:00	AND JUST TO CLARIFY WHAT
01:46:32:00	01:46:36:00	OCCURRED, I ACTUALLY TRIED TO

01:47:02:00	01:47:02:00	COMMUNITIES THAT ARE UNDER
01:47:02:00	01:47:05:00	ATTACK AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL AND
01:47:05:00	01:47:06:00	WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT WE
01:47:06:00	01:47:09:00	PROTECT THEM AT THE CITY LEVEL
01:47:09:00	01:47:09:00	.

02:01:37:00	02:01:38:00	STREAMLINE BUS ROUTES, THERE
02:01:38:00	02:01:39:00	ARE OUTSTANDING ISSUES THAT
02:01:39:00	02:01:41:00	NEED TO TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE
02:01:41:00	02:01:45:00	THIS POLICY PROCEDURE SHOULD
02:01:45:00	02:01:46:00	TAKE SHOULD TAKE INTO EFFECT AS
02:01:46:00	02:01:49:00	I UNDERSTAND BEEPS IS STILL
02:01:49:00	02:01:51:00	WORKING WITH ANOTHER 1000
02:01:51:00	02:01:52:00	STUDENTS INCLUDING 400 STUDENTS
02:01:52:00	02:01:55:00	WITH DISABILITIES ON BUS
02:01:55:00	02:01:55:00	SERVICES.
02:01:55:00	02:01:56:00	I HEARD CONCERNS THAT STUDENTS
02:01:56:00	02:01:59:00	WITH DISABILITIES WOULD BE
02:01:59:00	02:02:00:00	NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY THIS NEW
02:02:00:00	02:02:03:00	PROCEDURE WHICH WOULD TAKE AWAY
02:02:03:00	02:02:05:00	WHAT ARE REQUIRED SERVICES FOR
02:02:05:00	02:02:10:00	SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS.
02:02:10:00	02:02:10:00	I ALSO UNDERSTAND AND KNOW THE
02:02:10:00	02:02:13:00	NEED FOR EFFICIENCY IN GETTING
02:02:13:00	02:02:14:00	OUR STUDENTS TO SCHOOL ON TIME.
02:02:14:00	02:02:17:00	EVERYONE KNOWS THAT SINCE
02:02:17:00	02:02:18:00	SEPTEMBER I HAVE ADVOCATED FOR
02:02:18:00	02:02:21:00	FAMILIES WHEN IT COMES TO WAIT
02:02:21:00	02:02:22:00	IN NO SNOW BUSSES.
02:02:22:00	02:02:25:00	WE CANNOT NORMALIZE THE THAT
02:02:25:00	02:02:26:00	OCCURRED THIS YEAR FOR
02:02:26:00	02:02:29:00	STUDENTS, PARENTS, TEACHERS AND
02:02:29:00	02:02:29:00	ADMINISTRATORS.
02:02:29:00	02:02:30:00	BUT BEFORE IMPLEMENTING THIS
02:02:30:00	02:02:34:00	POLICY I'D LIKE TO HOLD A
02:02:34:00	02:02:37:00	HEARING WITH BEEPS AND BEEPS
02:02:37:00	02:02:37:00	TRANSPORTATION LEADERSHIP TO
02:02:37:00	02:02:41:00	GET CLARIFICATION ON HOW THIS
02:02:41:00	02:02:41:00	WOULD IMPACT THE REMAINING
02:02:41:00	02:02:44:00	STUDENTS ESPECIALLY STUDENTS
02:02:44:00	02:02:48:00	WITH DISABILITIES.
02:02:48:00	02:02:48:00	I UNDERSTAND STUDENTS AND
02:02:48:00	02:02:49:00	FAMILIES DESERVE TO HAVE BUSSES
02:02:49:00	02:02:52:00	THAT ARE RELIABLE AND ON TIME
02:02:52:00	02:02:53:00	BUT WE ALSO MUST ENSURE THAT
02:02:53:00	02:02:56:00	ALL BEEPS STUDENTS, STUDENTS
02:02:56:00	02:02:56:00	WITH DISABILITIES AND THEIR
02:02:56:00	02:03:00:00	FAMILIES ARE CONTACTED, AWARE
02:03:00:00	02:03:03:00	OF AND UNDERSTAND THE
02:03:03:00	02:03:04:00	IMPLICATIONS OF THIS POLICY TO
02:03:04:00	02:03:08:00	ENSURE NO STUDENT OR FAMILY
02:03:08:00	02:03:08:00	WILL BE LEFT BEHIND.
02:03:08:00	02:03:11:00	I ALSO KNOW THAT FAMILIES WITH
02:03:11:00	02:03:15:00	A STUDENT THAT A DISABILITY
02:03:15:00	02:03:19:00	HAVE OTHER CHALLENGES AS WELL.
02:03:19:00	02:03:19:00	SOMETIMES THEY DON'T HAVE THE
02:03:19:00	02:03:23:00	LUXURY OF HAVING THE ABILITY TO
02:03:23:00	02:03:26:00	COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY TO A
02:03:26:00	02:03:27:00	TOY CELL PHONE.
02:03:27:00	02:03:30:00	OFTENTIMES THE PARENT OR THE
02:03:30:00	02:03:31:00	GUARDIAN IN THIS TRYING TO GET
02:03:31:00	02:03:34:00	THE STUDENT INTO ONTO THE BUS
02:03:34:00	02:03:37:00	OR INTO A PROGRAM AND THERE'S
02:03:37:00	02:03:38:00	VERY LITTLE TIME TO COMMUNICATE
02:03:38:00	02:03:41:00	WITH BEEPS.
02:03:41:00	02:03:42:00	BUT WE SHOULD NOT PENALIZE A
02:03:42:00	02:03:45:00	STUDENT WITH DISABILITIES OR
02:03:45:00	02:03:45:00	THEIR FAMILIES.
02:03:45:00	02:03:46:00	WE SHOULD DO EVERYTHING WE
02:03:46:00	02:03:48:00	POSSIBLY CAN TO SUPPORT
02:03:48:00	02:03:52:00	STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES.
02:03:52:00	02:03:56:00	THIS POLICY RIGHT NOW I COULD
02:03:56:00	02:03:56:00	NOT SUPPORT WE HAVE TO MAKE
02:03:56:00	02:04:00:00	SURE THAT WE PROVIDE EVERY
02:04:00:00	02:04:00:00	STUDENT WITH DISABILITIES THE
02:04:00:00	02:04:03:00	OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE
02:04:03:00	02:04:04:00	TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM
02:04:04:00	02:04:07:00	SCHOOL AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE
02:04:07:00	02:04:08:00	PENALIZED FOR ANY REASON AT
02:04:08:00	02:04:08:00	ALL.
02:04:08:00	02:04:09:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
02:04:09:00	02:04:12:00	THANK YOU.
02:04:12:00	02:04:13:00	THE CHAIR.
02:04:13:00	02:04:13:00	AND THIS IS COUNCILOR MURPHY ON
02:04:13:00	02:04:14:00	THE FLOOR.
02:04:14:00	02:04:15:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
02:04:15:00	02:04:18:00	I RISE TODAY TO ADDRESS DOCKET
02:04:18:00	02:04:19:00	0971 WHICH CALLS FOR A HEARING
02:04:19:00	02:04:22:00	TO DISCUSS THE BOSTON PUBLIC
02:04:22:00	02:04:23:00	SCHOOLS NEWLY IMPLEMENTED BUS
02:04:23:00	02:04:26:00	RIDERSHIP POLICY.
02:04:26:00	02:04:27:00	THIS POLICY SET TO TAKE EFFECT
02:04:27:00	02:04:30:00	IN MAY TOMORROW THIS MONTH
02:04:30:00	02:04:33:00	INTRODUCES A PROCEDURE WHERE
02:04:33:00	02:04:33:00	STUDENTS WHO DO NOT UTILIZE
02:04:33:00	02:04:36:00	THEIR ASSIGNED SCHOOL BUS FOR
02:04:36:00	02:04:36:00	TEN CONSECUTIVE SCHOOL DAYS
02:04:36:00	02:04:40:00	WITHOUT PRIOR NOTIFIED THROUGH
02:04:40:00	02:04:41:00	THE ZOOM APP WILL HAVE THEIR
02:04:41:00	02:04:43:00	BUS ASSIGNMENTS, PAUSED.
02:04:43:00	02:04:44:00	FAMILIES WILL RECEIVE A
02:04:44:00	02:04:46:00	NOTIFICATION AND HAVE THREE
02:04:46:00	02:04:47:00	BUSINESS DAYS TO RESPOND BEFORE
02:04:47:00	02:04:50:00	THE SERVICE IS SUSPENDED.
02:04:50:00	02:04:50:00	IMPORTANTLY, STUDENTS CAN
02:04:50:00	02:04:53:00	REINSTATE THEIR TRANSPORTATION
02:04:53:00	02:04:54:00	BUT IT WILL TAKE PROCEDURES AND
02:04:54:00	02:04:58:00	LOOPHOLES TO JUMP THROUGH AND I
02:04:58:00	02:05:01:00	DO JUST WANT TO UPLIFT WHAT
02:05:01:00	02:05:02:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN HAD HIGHLIGHTED
02:05:02:00	02:05:03:00	THAT MANY FAMILIES MAY NOT HAVE
02:05:03:00	02:05:06:00	ACCESS OR BE SAVVY ENOUGH TO
02:05:06:00	02:05:09:00	KNOW THAT IF THEY JUST PUT A
02:05:09:00	02:05:10:00	MESSAGE INTO THE ZOOM APP THAT
02:05:10:00	02:05:12:00	THEIR BUS SERVICE WON'T BE
02:05:12:00	02:05:13:00	PAUSED EVEN IF THEY NEVER TAKE
02:05:13:00	02:05:14:00	THE SCHOOL BUS FOR THE ENTIRE
02:05:14:00	02:05:16:00	YEAR IF THEY KEEP UPDATING.
02:05:16:00	02:05:17:00	SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE MAKE
02:05:17:00	02:05:20:00	THIS EQUITABLE FOR ALL
02:05:20:00	02:05:20:00	FAMILIES.
02:05:20:00	02:05:21:00	WELL, I DO BELIEVE THE GOAL
02:05:21:00	02:05:24:00	OF IMPROVING TRANSPORTATION
02:05:24:00	02:05:24:00	EFFICIENCY IS COMMENDABLE AND
02:05:24:00	02:05:28:00	THEY ARE WORKING HARD AT THAT.
02:05:28:00	02:05:28:00	IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE
02:05:28:00	02:05:29:00	SCRUTINIZE THE POTENTIAL
02:05:29:00	02:05:32:00	IMPLICATIONS OF THIS POLICY TO
02:05:32:00	02:05:32:00	ENSURE IT DOES NOT
02:05:32:00	02:05:36:00	INADVERTENTLY DISADVANTAGE ANY
02:05:36:00	02:05:36:00	STUDENTS.
02:05:36:00	02:05:36:00	SEVERAL CONCERNS HAVE BEEN
02:05:36:00	02:05:39:00	RAISED AND THIS HAS BEEN
02:05:39:00	02:05:40:00	BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION MONTHS
02:05:40:00	02:05:42:00	AGO WHEN PRINCIPALS AND
02:05:42:00	02:05:42:00	FAMILIES FIRST HEARD OF THE
02:05:42:00	02:05:46:00	POSSIBILITY OF THIS NEW POLICY
02:05:46:00	02:05:46:00	.
02:05:46:00	02:05:47:00	ONE IS A LACK OF CONSIDERATION
02:05:47:00	02:05:47:00	FOR THE DIVERSE FAMILY
02:05:47:00	02:05:50:00	CIRCUMSTANCE CASES.
02:05:50:00	02:05:51:00	FAMILIES MAY HAVE VARIOUS
02:05:51:00	02:05:54:00	REASONS FOR NOT UTILIZING BUS
02:05:54:00	02:05:55:00	SERVICES CONSISTENTLY SUCH AS
02:05:55:00	02:05:55:00	TEMPORARY ILLNESS, FAMILY
02:05:55:00	02:05:59:00	EMERGENCY, HIS OR ALTERNATIVE
02:05:59:00	02:05:59:00	TRANSPORTATION ARRANGEMENTS.
02:05:59:00	02:06:03:00	WE ALSO KNOW THAT MANY FAMILIES
02:06:03:00	02:06:06:00	OPT OUT OF THE BUS IN THE
02:06:06:00	02:06:07:00	MORNING ESPECIALLY IF IT'S NOT
02:06:07:00	02:06:10:00	RELIABLE BECAUSE THEY NEED TO
02:06:10:00	02:06:11:00	GET TO WORK SO THEY MAKE OTHER
02:06:11:00	02:06:11:00	ARRANGEMENTS.
02:06:11:00	02:06:14:00	POTENTIAL IMPACT ON STUDENTS
02:06:14:00	02:06:14:00	WITH SPECIAL NEEDS WHILE THE
02:06:14:00	02:06:17:00	POLICY STATES THAT IT DOES NOT
02:06:17:00	02:06:18:00	ALTER A STUDENT'S ELIGIBILITY
02:06:18:00	02:06:21:00	ON THEIR IEP WHICH WOULD BE
02:06:21:00	02:06:21:00	WRITTEN SPECIFICALLY ABOUT
02:06:21:00	02:06:22:00	THEIR TRANSPORTATION.
02:06:22:00	02:06:25:00	THERE IS CONCERN ABOUT THE
02:06:25:00	02:06:26:00	PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS.
02:06:26:00	02:06:29:00	COMMUNICATION AND ACCESSIBILITY
02:06:29:00	02:06:30:00	CHALLENGES THE RELIANCE ON THE
02:06:30:00	02:06:33:00	ZOOM APP FOR NOTIFICATIONS AND
02:06:33:00	02:06:33:00	TRACKING MAY POSE CHALLENGES
02:06:33:00	02:06:37:00	FOR FAMILIES WITHOUT ACCESS TO
02:06:37:00	02:06:37:00	SMARTPHONES OR THOSE WITH
02:06:37:00	02:06:41:00	LIMITED DIGITAL LITERACY.
02:06:41:00	02:06:42:00	CLEAR ACCESSIBLE COMMUNICATION
02:06:42:00	02:06:45:00	CHANNELS ARE ESSENTIAL TO
02:06:45:00	02:06:46:00	ENSURE ALL FAMILIES ARE
02:06:46:00	02:06:46:00	INFORMED AND CAN RESPOND
02:06:46:00	02:06:49:00	APPROPRIATELY.
02:06:49:00	02:06:50:00	AND I DO FEEL THERE IS LEGAL
02:06:50:00	02:06:53:00	AND EQUITY CONSIDERATIONS.
02:06:53:00	02:06:54:00	PAST INVESTIGATIONS HAVE
02:06:54:00	02:06:54:00	HIGHLIGHTED THAT TRANSPORTATION
02:06:54:00	02:06:57:00	ISSUES ARE CAN
02:06:57:00	02:06:57:00	DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECT
02:06:57:00	02:06:58:00	STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AND
02:06:58:00	02:07:01:00	STUDENTS OF POTENTIALLY
02:07:01:00	02:07:01:00	VIOLATING THEIR RIGHTS TO
02:07:01:00	02:07:05:00	EQUITABLE EDUCATION.
02:07:05:00	02:07:05:00	IT'S IMPERATIVE TO ASSESS
02:07:05:00	02:07:08:00	WHETHER THE NEW POLICY UPHOLDS
02:07:08:00	02:07:09:00	THESE STUDENTS RIGHTS AND DOES
02:07:09:00	02:07:13:00	NOT INADVERTENTLY EXASPERATE
02:07:13:00	02:07:13:00	EXISTING DISPARITIES THAT WE
02:07:13:00	02:07:14:00	KNOW ARE THERE.
02:07:14:00	02:07:16:00	THERE'S ALSO A NEED FOR AN
02:07:16:00	02:07:17:00	INCLUSIVE POLICY DEVELOPMENT
02:07:17:00	02:07:20:00	ENGAGING FAMILIES, EDUCATORS
02:07:20:00	02:07:21:00	AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS IN
02:07:21:00	02:07:21:00	THE DEVELOPMENT AND
02:07:21:00	02:07:24:00	IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS
02:07:24:00	02:07:25:00	TRANSPORTATION POLICY THAT IT
02:07:25:00	02:07:28:00	CAN LEAD TO AN EQUITABLE OR
02:07:28:00	02:07:29:00	BEYOND THE 3 MINUTES BEYOND
02:07:29:00	02:07:30:00	ROOM AS I'M FINISHING THE
02:07:30:00	02:07:30:00	MINUTES.
02:07:30:00	02:07:33:00	I BELIEVE I HEARD JUST
02:07:33:00	02:07:34:00	DEFINITELY FINISHING THINKING
02:07:34:00	02:07:35:00	GIVING THESE CONCERNS IT'S
02:07:35:00	02:07:35:00	ESSENTIAL TO THOROUGHLY
02:07:35:00	02:07:36:00	EVALUATE THE NEW BUS RIDERSHIP
02:07:36:00	02:07:40:00	POLICY IMPLICATIONS ON ALL
02:07:40:00	02:07:40:00	STUDENTS PARTICULARLY THOSE
02:07:40:00	02:07:43:00	FROM VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES.
02:07:43:00	02:07:44:00	ENSURING EQUITABLE ACCESS TO
02:07:44:00	02:07:44:00	EDUCATION REQUIRES CAREFUL
02:07:44:00	02:07:48:00	CONSIDERATION OF HOW SUCH
02:07:48:00	02:07:48:00	POLICIES ARE CRAFTED AND
02:07:48:00	02:07:48:00	IMPLEMENTED.
02:07:48:00	02:07:51:00	I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS
02:07:51:00	02:07:52:00	HEARING AND GETTING SOME
02:07:52:00	02:07:52:00	ANSWERS FROM THE SCHOOL

02:09:38:00	02:09:41:00	ORDER WITH COUNCILOR WEBER JUST
02:09:41:00	02:09:42:00	BECAUSE I KNOW IN THE HEARTS
02:09:42:00	02:09:42:00	OF A LOT OF THE RESIDENTS OF MY
02:09:42:00	02:09:45:00	DISTRICT UM, THE CONVERSATION
02:09:45:00	02:09:46:00	OF TRANSPORTATION SAFETY AND
02:09:46:00	02:09:49:00	PEDESTRIANS SAFETY HAS BEEN
02:09:49:00	02:09:50:00	VERY HEAVILY ON THEIR MINDS
02:09:50:00	02:09:53:00	SINCE THE TRAGIC DEATH OF LEN'S
02:09:53:00	02:09:56:00	AND WE ALL KNOW THAT WHILE THE
02:09:56:00	02:10:00:00	INVESTIGATION IS STILL ONGOING
02:10:00:00	02:10:00:00	TRYING TO GET TO THE SPECIFICS
02:10:00:00	02:10:01:00	OF WHAT HAPPENED AND WE ALL
02:10:01:00	02:10:04:00	KNOW THAT IT INVOLVED A
02:10:04:00	02:10:05:00	VEHICLE, A SCHOOL BUS AND A
02:10:05:00	02:10:08:00	CHILD AND THIS CASE REMINDS
02:10:08:00	02:10:12:00	ME OF THE YOUNG BOY STRUCK AND
02:10:12:00	02:10:14:00	KILLED ON WOOD AVENUE IN HYDE
02:10:14:00	02:10:15:00	PARK IN THE SUMMER OF 2023.
02:10:15:00	02:10:16:00	THERE ARE A LOT OF MUCH NEEDED
02:10:16:00	02:10:19:00	SAFETY PROJECTS IN THE WORKS,
02:10:19:00	02:10:19:00	ESPECIALLY IN MY DISTRICT.
02:10:19:00	02:10:22:00	I HOPE THAT WITH THIS HEARING
02:10:22:00	02:10:23:00	WE ALL KNOW THE RESULTS OF THIS
02:10:23:00	02:10:26:00	REVIEW AND HOW WELL PROJECTS
02:10:26:00	02:10:27:00	MOVING FORWARD ARE GOING TO
02:10:27:00	02:10:29:00	TAKE PLACE.
02:10:29:00	02:10:30:00	WE CANNOT HALT CAREER PROGRESS
02:10:30:00	02:10:30:00	BEING MADE.
02:10:30:00	02:10:33:00	WE CANNOT HALT THE PROJECTS OUR
02:10:33:00	02:10:34:00	RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN ADVOCATING
02:10:34:00	02:10:34:00	FOR FOR YEARS.
02:10:34:00	02:10:37:00	SOME EVEN DECADES.
02:10:37:00	02:10:38:00	WE CANNOT STOP THE POSSIBILITY
02:10:38:00	02:10:43:00	OF SAVING A CHILD'S LIFE.
02:10:43:00	02:10:44:00	WHAT'S A LITTLE BOTHERING TO
02:10:44:00	02:10:47:00	ME IS THAT IT SHOULDN'T TAKE A
02:10:47:00	02:10:48:00	HEARING ORDER FOR US TO LOOK
02:10:48:00	02:10:51:00	OUT WHAT SAFETY MEASURES WE CAN
02:10:51:00	02:10:51:00	IMPLEMENT IN THE CITY
02:10:51:00	02:10:51:00	OF BOSTON.
02:10:51:00	02:10:55:00	IT'S VERY EASY FOR US TO DO A
02:10:55:00	02:10:56:00	30 DAY REVIEW TO SEE IF A BIKE
02:10:56:00	02:10:58:00	LANE OR BUSTLING MAKES SENSE.
02:10:58:00	02:10:59:00	HOW COME WE CAN'T CHECK THE
02:10:59:00	02:10:59:00	MAJOR INTERSECTIONS WHERE A
02:10:59:00	02:11:01:00	SCHOOL IS TO MAKE SURE ALL
02:11:01:00	02:11:04:00	OF THOSE ARE SAFE OR NOT?
02:11:04:00	02:11:05:00	THE RESIDENTS OF MY DISTRICT
02:11:05:00	02:11:06:00	AND I KNOW THAT THE RESIDENTS
02:11:06:00	02:11:08:00	OF MANY OF ALL OF US OF THE
02:11:08:00	02:11:12:00	ENTIRE CITY OF BOSTON THAT
02:11:12:00	02:11:13:00	THINK ABOUT HOW CAN WE MAKE OUR
02:11:13:00	02:11:19:00	STREETS SAFER, WHETHER IT'S
02:11:19:00	02:11:20:00	ADDING MORE CROSS CROSSWALKS,
02:11:20:00	02:11:21:00	STOP SIGNS, SPEED HUMPS
02:11:21:00	02:11:23:00	CROSSING GUARDS, ANYTHING TO
02:11:23:00	02:11:27:00	SLOW DOWN DRIVERS.
02:11:27:00	02:11:28:00	THERE REALLY ISN'T ONE ANSWER
02:11:28:00	02:11:28:00	TO ALL OF THIS.
02:11:28:00	02:11:29:00	WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS IN A
02:11:29:00	02:11:31:00	HOLISTIC LENS.
02:11:31:00	02:11:31:00	SO I'M HEAVILY URGING THE
02:11:31:00	02:11:35:00	ADMINISTRATION TO TAKE THIS

02:15:20:00	02:15:23:00	TAKES A LOT OF COLLABORATION

02:15:24:00	02:15:25:00	WITH COMMUNITY ESPECIALLY
02:15:25:00	02:15:28:00	COMMUNITY.
02:15:28:00	02:15:28:00	I DON'T THINK WE DO ENOUGH
02:15:28:00	02:15:32:00	OF THAT AND I REALLY FEEL THAT
02:15:32:00	02:15:35:00	WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE ANY
02:15:35:00	02:15:36:00	MORE FATALITIES ON OUR STREETS
02:15:36:00	02:15:40:00	BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ADEQUATE

02:16:32:00	02:16:37:00	HUMPS IN BEACON HILL BECAUSE
02:16:37:00	02:16:37:00	THERE'S A LOT OF SPEEDING
02:16:37:00	02:16:41:00	INSIDE BEACON HILL AS A REQUEST

02:16:56:00	02:16:57:00	WHERE THERE IS A LOT
02:16:57:00	02:17:00:00	OF SPEEDING AND I THINK I

02:17:08:00	02:17:12:00	JURISDICTION AND ALL ISSUES ARE
02:17:12:00	02:17:13:00	AND I THINK THERE'S SOME DEBATE
02:17:13:00	02:17:16:00	AROUND WHETHER I HAVE THE MOST
02:17:16:00	02:17:17:00	DCR LAND BUT I DO HAVE TO ASK

02:20:07:00	02:20:10:00	SIMILAR ON ON MANY OF THESE

02:20:21:00	02:20:24:00	ISSUES THAT MY COUNCIL MURPHY'S

02:20:46:00	02:20:47:00	FOR SPEED HUMPS, SETTING
02:20:47:00	02:20:50:00	IMPROVEMENTS IN TRAFFIC SAFETY
02:20:50:00	02:20:55:00	HOW THE RESIDENTS RAISE ISSUES

02:20:56:00	02:20:58:00	ISSUES, PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
02:20:58:00	02:20:59:00	ISSUES BUT ALSO EMERGENCY
02:20:59:00	02:21:02:00	VEHICLE ACCESS AND THE
02:21:02:00	02:21:06:00	POTENTIAL THE POTENTIAL IT HAS
02:21:06:00	02:21:06:00	ON RESPONSE TIME.
02:21:06:00	02:21:07:00	IT'S IMPORTANT TO EVALUATE THE
02:21:07:00	02:21:11:00	EFFECTIVENESS OF THESE TRAFFIC
02:21:11:00	02:21:11:00	CALMING MEASURES THAT WAS THE
02:21:11:00	02:21:17:00	HERE IN ORDER THAT WE WE FILED
02:21:17:00	02:21:17:00	AND WE WERE REQUESTING DATA
02:21:17:00	02:21:20:00	FROM THE TRANSPORTATION
02:21:20:00	02:21:21:00	DEPARTMENT THE BOSTON POLICE TO
02:21:21:00	02:21:24:00	UM TO FIGURE OUT THE IMPACT
02:21:24:00	02:21:28:00	OF TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES IN
02:21:28:00	02:21:32:00	AND ON PUBLIC SAFETY.
02:21:32:00	02:21:32:00	I'M LOOKING WE ARE LOOKING ALSO
02:21:32:00	02:21:33:00	FOR A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW
02:21:33:00	02:21:35:00	OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TRAFFIC
02:21:35:00	02:21:36:00	CALMING MEASURES SPEED HUMPS
02:21:36:00	02:21:40:00	WHICH I GREATLY SUPPORT
02:21:40:00	02:21:44:00	ACCESSING THE IMPACT ON TRAFFIC
02:21:44:00	02:21:47:00	SPEED AND VIOLATIONS 25 MILES
02:21:47:00	02:21:47:00	AN HOUR DRIVING YOUR SUV
02:21:47:00	02:21:50:00	THROUGHOUT THE STREET STREETS
02:21:50:00	02:21:50:00	OF BOSTON IS EXCESSIVE.
02:21:50:00	02:21:54:00	I THINK THE SPEED LIMIT SHOULD
02:21:54:00	02:21:55:00	BE 20 MILES AN HOUR I WORKED
02:21:55:00	02:21:58:00	WITH AT BAKER TO IN MAY WAS TO
02:21:58:00	02:22:01:00	GET IT DOWN BUT 25 MILES AN
02:22:01:00	02:22:06:00	HOUR IS VERY FAST IN THE CITY
02:22:06:00	02:22:08:00	OF BOSTON.
02:22:08:00	02:22:09:00	I ALSO WANT US TO ANALYZE THE
02:22:09:00	02:22:13:00	IMPACT OF SPEED HUMPS ON
02:22:13:00	02:22:13:00	TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS INCLUDING
02:22:13:00	02:22:16:00	ACCIDENTS INVOLVING PEDESTRIAN
02:22:16:00	02:22:17:00	ENDS AND VARIOUS NEIGHBORHOODS
02:22:17:00	02:22:20:00	DISCUSSING CONCERNS RAISED BY
02:22:20:00	02:22:21:00	RESIDENTS REGARDING RELATING TO
02:22:21:00	02:22:24:00	THESE CHALLENGES AND WHAT WHAT
02:22:24:00	02:22:29:00	I WANT TO ASK AGAIN IS IF WE
02:22:29:00	02:22:29:00	CAN COMBINE SOME OF THESE
02:22:29:00	02:22:32:00	HEARING ORDERS BECAUSE BY
02:22:32:00	02:22:33:00	MYSELF AND COUNCIL COUNCILOR
02:22:33:00	02:22:36:00	MURPHY WE'RE WAITING FOR A LONG
02:22:36:00	02:22:37:00	PERIOD OF TIME AND MAYBE THIS
02:22:37:00	02:22:40:00	WILL SPEED UP THE PROCESS IF WE
02:22:40:00	02:22:44:00	JUST HAVE ONE MEETING BUT IT'S
02:22:44:00	02:22:44:00	IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO THE
02:22:44:00	02:22:47:00	HEARING ORDER WE WE FILED BUT
02:22:47:00	02:22:51:00	IT IS A TIMELY ISSUE AND MY MY
02:22:51:00	02:22:54:00	REQUEST MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO
02:22:54:00	02:22:55:00	HAVE IT MAYBE IN THE NEXT TWO
02:22:55:00	02:22:58:00	WEEKS, MAYBE THE NEXT THREE
02:22:58:00	02:22:58:00	WEEKS BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WE
02:22:58:00	02:23:01:00	CAN WAIT ANY ANY LONGER BECAUSE
02:23:01:00	02:23:02:00	THESE THESE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
02:23:02:00	02:23:05:00	ISSUES ARE CRITICAL.
02:23:05:00	02:23:06:00	I WAS IN SOUTH BOSTON EARLIER
02:23:06:00	02:23:10:00	TODAY CROSSING THE CROSS IN THE
02:23:10:00	02:23:13:00	SIDEWALK AND ACROSS THE STREET.
02:23:13:00	02:23:13:00	MY PARENTS WERE ON THE OTHER
02:23:13:00	02:23:16:00	SIDE OF THE CROSSWALK AND THEY
02:23:16:00	02:23:16:00	WERE CROSSING CROSSING THE
02:23:16:00	02:23:20:00	STREET ON BROADWAY AND A CAR
02:23:20:00	02:23:24:00	PROBABLY DROVE BY THEM AS THEY
02:23:24:00	02:23:24:00	WERE IN THE CROSSWALK.
02:23:24:00	02:23:26:00	TWO ELDERLY PEOPLE PROBABLY
02:23:26:00	02:23:27:00	GOING 40 MILES AN HOUR DOWN
02:23:27:00	02:23:30:00	DOWN BROADWAY IN AN SUV.
02:23:30:00	02:23:35:00	I SEE PEOPLE I SEE YOUNG
02:23:35:00	02:23:35:00	MOTHERS MOSTLY TAKING THEIR
02:23:35:00	02:23:36:00	KIDS TO THE LIBRARY OR TO THE
02:23:36:00	02:23:38:00	OR TO CHURCH AND YOUNG FATHERS
02:23:38:00	02:23:39:00	TAKING THEM TO THE LIBRARY, GO
02:23:39:00	02:23:42:00	TO SCHOOL.
02:23:42:00	02:23:42:00	THEY'LL BE IN THE CROSSWALK AND
02:23:42:00	02:23:43:00	SOMEONE WILL DRIVE RIGHT PAST
02:23:43:00	02:23:45:00	THEM IN THE CROSSWALK I SEE
02:23:45:00	02:23:46:00	SENIORS PERSONS WITH
02:23:46:00	02:23:49:00	DISABILITIES IN THE CROSSWALK
02:23:49:00	02:23:51:00	AND SOMEONE WILL SPEED BY THEM

02:31:31:00	02:31:34:00	AN AD HOC BASIS.
02:31:34:00	02:31:34:00	THERE WAS NO ZOOM OUT TO
02:31:34:00	02:31:37:00	UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HOLISTIC
02:31:37:00	02:31:38:00	PARKING REGULATION OR HOLISTIC
02:31:38:00	02:31:41:00	PARKING REGULATIONS ARE ACROSS
02:31:41:00	02:31:42:00	THE CITY LOOK LIKE AND IN RIGHT
02:31:42:00	02:31:43:00	SIZING OUR PARKING ENFORCEMENT
02:31:43:00	02:31:45:00	TO MATCH IT.
02:31:45:00	02:31:46:00	WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS THAT A
02:31:46:00	02:31:46:00	CONSTITUENT WOULD MAKE A
02:31:46:00	02:31:49:00	REQUEST THE SIZE WOULD GO UP.
02:31:49:00	02:31:50:00	WE WOULD KNOW IF THE IF THERE
02:31:50:00	02:31:52:00	WOULD BE ENOUGH COVERAGE
02:31:52:00	02:31:52:00	OF PARKING ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
02:31:52:00	02:31:53:00	BASED ON THAT PARTICULAR
02:31:53:00	02:31:56:00	DISTRICT AND IT DIDN'T REALLY
02:31:56:00	02:31:57:00	MAKE SENSE WHERE IF THERE WERE
02:31:57:00	02:32:00:00	PARKING REGULATIONS IN IN THE
02:32:00:00	02:32:01:00	DAYTIME BUT NOT THE NIGHT TIME.
02:32:01:00	02:32:02:00	SO I JUST WANTED TO RISE AND
02:32:02:00	02:32:04:00	SAY I SUPPORT THIS AND JUST
02:32:04:00	02:32:04:00	KUDOS TO YOU.
02:32:04:00	02:32:05:00	UNFORTUNATELY I'M SORRY TO SAY
02:32:05:00	02:32:08:00	THIS TO MY DISTRICT
02:32:08:00	02:32:08:00	COUNCILOR FROM SOUTH BOSTON.
02:32:08:00	02:32:09:00	I USE SOUTH BOSTON AS AN
02:32:09:00	02:32:12:00	EXAMPLE OF WHAT IT MEANS TO NOT
02:32:12:00	02:32:15:00	PLAN EFFECTIVELY WHEN YOU HAVE
02:32:15:00	02:32:19:00	MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS COMING OR
02:32:19:00	02:32:19:00	ARE MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE
02:32:19:00	02:32:20:00	PROPOSED BECAUSE THE PARKING
02:32:20:00	02:32:24:00	SITUATION FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD
02:32:24:00	02:32:24:00	FROM FRIENDS THAT LIVE THERE,
02:32:24:00	02:32:25:00	FOLKS THAT I KNOW IS JUST
02:32:25:00	02:32:27:00	UNTENABLE AND REGARDLESS I DO
02:32:27:00	02:32:28:00	THINK THAT IT WARRANTS A
02:32:28:00	02:32:31:00	CONVERSATION ABOUT PROPER
02:32:31:00	02:32:31:00	PLANNING FOR PARKING.
02:32:31:00	02:32:34:00	I WOULD LOVE TO GET MORE DATA
02:32:34:00	02:32:35:00	ABOUT SOME OF THESE BUILDINGS
02:32:35:00	02:32:37:00	THAT ARE COMING ONLINE THAT
02:32:37:00	02:32:41:00	HAVE ZERO PARKING MINIMUMS AND
02:32:41:00	02:32:41:00	JUST BETTER UNDERSTAND THAT AND
02:32:41:00	02:32:42:00	SEE WHAT WE'RE HOW WE'RE
02:32:42:00	02:32:45:00	TRACKING IT, HOW WE'RE
02:32:45:00	02:32:45:00	UTILIZING THAT DATA.
02:32:45:00	02:32:48:00	BUT I JUST WANTED A RISE AND
02:32:48:00	02:32:49:00	STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH MY
02:32:49:00	02:32:53:00	RESIDENTS OR MY MY NEIGHBORS IN
02:32:53:00	02:32:54:00	DISTRICT TWO AND SAY THAT I
02:32:54:00	02:32:56:00	LOOK FORWARD TO THEIR TAKE A
02:32:56:00	02:32:57:00	COUPLE OF FLIGHTS.
02:32:57:00	02:32:57:00	THANK YOU.
02:32:57:00	02:32:58:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
02:32:58:00	02:33:00:00	COUNCILOR BREADON NEAR THE
02:33:00:00	02:33:00:00	FLOOR.
02:33:00:00	02:33:01:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
02:33:01:00	02:33:04:00	AND THANK YOU TO
02:33:04:00	02:33:04:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN FOR BRINGING UP
02:33:04:00	02:33:05:00	THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE.
02:33:05:00	02:33:07:00	I KNOW HIS FOCUS IS VERY MUCH
02:33:07:00	02:33:08:00	ON SOUTH BOSTON BUT I THINK ALL
02:33:08:00	02:33:11:00	OF OUR DISTRICTS HAVE
02:33:11:00	02:33:11:00	CHALLENGES WITH WITH
02:33:11:00	02:33:12:00	RESIDENTIAL PARKING OR THE LACK
02:33:12:00	02:33:16:00	THEREOF IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS IN
02:33:16:00	02:33:16:00	OUR PARTICULAR DISTRICT.
02:33:16:00	02:33:19:00	WE ARE SURROUNDED BY OTHER
02:33:19:00	02:33:19:00	MUNICIPALITIES.
02:33:19:00	02:33:20:00	WE'RE SURROUNDED BY NEWTON,
02:33:20:00	02:33:23:00	BROOKLINE.
02:33:23:00	02:33:24:00	WE HAVE A RIVER BETWEEN US AND
02:33:24:00	02:33:24:00	WATERTOWN.
02:33:24:00	02:33:25:00	SO THAT'S NOT SUCH A PROBLEM.
02:33:25:00	02:33:30:00	BUT NEWTON AND AND BROOKLINE DO
02:33:30:00	02:33:31:00	NOT ALLOW ON STREET PARKING
02:33:31:00	02:33:34:00	OVERNIGHT AND WHERE DO THE
02:33:34:00	02:33:35:00	FOLKS COME TO PARK THEIR CARS?
02:33:35:00	02:33:38:00	THEY JUST COME ACROSS THE LINE
02:33:38:00	02:33:39:00	AND PARK IN BRIGHTON.
02:33:39:00	02:33:41:00	SO IN ONE OF OUR STREETS
02:33:41:00	02:33:42:00	BRAINERD THE RESIDENTS
02:33:42:00	02:33:45:00	OF BRAINERD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO
02:33:45:00	02:33:45:00	GET RESIDENTIAL PARKING BUT THE
02:33:45:00	02:33:49:00	FOLKS FROM BROOKLINE CAN PARK
02:33:49:00	02:33:49:00	IN THEIR STREET.
02:33:49:00	02:33:50:00	SO NEEDLESS TO SAY YOU'RE NOT
02:33:50:00	02:33:53:00	HAPPY.
02:33:53:00	02:33:53:00	I THINK WE WE'VE ALSO IN OUR
02:33:53:00	02:33:56:00	WE'VE HAD A RECENT SORT
02:33:56:00	02:33:59:00	OF BUILDING BOOM OF A OF A NEW
02:33:59:00	02:34:00:00	RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS IN
02:34:00:00	02:34:04:00	ALLSTON AND BRIGHTON AND THE
02:34:04:00	02:34:06:00	PARKING IS EXPENSIVE IT TAKES
02:34:06:00	02:34:07:00	BETWEEN 50,000 AND $100,000 TO
02:34:07:00	02:34:10:00	BUILD A PARKING SPACE AND THE
02:34:10:00	02:34:13:00	DEVELOPERS CHARGE 350 FOR THE
02:34:13:00	02:34:16:00	FIRST CAR OR AND MAYBE 200 OR
02:34:16:00	02:34:19:00	175 FOR THE SECOND CAR AND SO
02:34:19:00	02:34:23:00	FOLKS ARE FINDING THEIR BUDGET
02:34:23:00	02:34:23:00	TIGHT.
02:34:23:00	02:34:24:00	THEY SKIP PAYING FOR THE
02:34:24:00	02:34:27:00	PARKING IN THE GARAGE AND THEY
02:34:27:00	02:34:28:00	PARK ON THE STREET.
02:34:28:00	02:34:31:00	SO WE HAVE SO THAT IF YOU'RE IF
02:34:31:00	02:34:32:00	THERE'S PARKING AVAILABLE IN
02:34:32:00	02:34:35:00	THE BUILDING THAT THE THOSE
02:34:35:00	02:34:36:00	RESIDENTS IN THOSE BUILDINGS
02:34:36:00	02:34:37:00	SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO GET A
02:34:37:00	02:34:39:00	RESIDENTIAL PARKING STICKER
02:34:39:00	02:34:40:00	BECAUSE FOLKS WHO DON'T HAVE A
02:34:40:00	02:34:43:00	GARAGE NEED TO BE ABLE TO PARK
02:34:43:00	02:34:44:00	ON THE ON THE STREET, SO TO
02:34:44:00	02:34:46:00	SPEAK.
02:34:46:00	02:34:47:00	WE HAVE A WE HAVE A VERY
02:34:47:00	02:34:47:00	INTERESTING SITUATION IN
02:34:47:00	02:34:51:00	BRIGHTON AND ALLSTON BECAUSE A
02:34:51:00	02:34:54:00	ALLSTON I THINK 40% OF THE
02:34:54:00	02:34:54:00	RESIDENTS DON'T OWN A CAR.
02:34:54:00	02:34:56:00	MAYBE IT'S HIGHER THAN THAT
02:34:56:00	02:35:00:00	MAYBE 50 AND THOSE FOLKS WANT
02:35:00:00	02:35:04:00	TO AND WANT TO SEE US ADDRESS
02:35:04:00	02:35:07:00	THE ISSUES OF OF OTHER WAYS
02:35:07:00	02:35:10:00	OTHER MOBILITY METHODS MAKE
02:35:10:00	02:35:11:00	SURE THAT IMPROVING PUBLIC
02:35:11:00	02:35:12:00	TRANSIT IS REALLY IMPORTANT
02:35:12:00	02:35:15:00	ACCESSIBILITY OF PUBLIC TRANSIT
02:35:15:00	02:35:19:00	AND AFFORDABILITY AND SAFE BIKE
02:35:19:00	02:35:19:00	LANES AND AS PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
02:35:19:00	02:35:22:00	AS WE ALREADY SPOKE ABOUT THIS
02:35:22:00	02:35:22:00	THIS AFTERNOON.
02:35:22:00	02:35:23:00	SO YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS IS AN
02:35:23:00	02:35:26:00	ISSUE THAT WE NEED TO DIVE
02:35:26:00	02:35:26:00	INTO.
02:35:26:00	02:35:27:00	WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS
02:35:27:00	02:35:30:00	SINCE BEFORE COVID AND I THINK
02:35:30:00	02:35:31:00	THIS IS ADDITIONALLY AN ISSUE
02:35:31:00	02:35:31:00	THAT WE REALLY NEED TO DIVE
02:35:31:00	02:35:34:00	INTO AND COME TO SOME CONSENSUS
02:35:34:00	02:35:38:00	ABOUT WHAT'S REASONABLE AND HOW
02:35:38:00	02:35:38:00	WE SHOULD MOVE FORWARD IN A
02:35:38:00	02:35:42:00	RESPECTFUL AND RESPONSIBLE WAY.
02:35:42:00	02:35:42:00	THANK YOU.
02:35:42:00	02:35:42:00	THANK YOU.
02:35:42:00	02:35:43:00	COUNCILOR BREADON INJURY
02:35:43:00	02:35:46:00	RECOGNIZES COUNCILOR WHERE ARE

02:35:47:00	02:35:49:00	THANK YOU TO COUNCILOR FLYNN
02:35:49:00	02:35:49:00	FOR BRINGING THIS UP.
02:35:49:00	02:35:52:00	AND AS YOU HEARD FROM MY OTHER
02:35:52:00	02:35:53:00	COLLEAGUES IN OTHER DISTRICTS,
02:35:53:00	02:35:55:00	YOU KNOW, IT SOUNDS LIKE WE ALL
02:35:55:00	02:35:56:00	EXPERIENCE IN THIS AND WHAT WE
02:35:56:00	02:36:00:00	HAVE HEARD IS THAT THE
02:36:00:00	02:36:00:00	RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT
02:36:00:00	02:36:04:00	PROGRAM HAS BEEN PAUSED FOR
02:36:04:00	02:36:07:00	SOME TIME NOW AND I THINK IT'S
02:36:07:00	02:36:08:00	TIME TO KIND OF HEAR FROM THE
02:36:08:00	02:36:11:00	ADMINISTRATION ON THE FUTURE
02:36:11:00	02:36:12:00	OF THAT PROGRAM.
02:36:12:00	02:36:13:00	BUT I KNOW MY RESIDENTS IN MY
02:36:13:00	02:36:16:00	NEIGHBORHOOD, WHETHER IT'S
02:36:16:00	02:36:16:00	DORCHESTER OR MATTAPAN OR PARTS
02:36:16:00	02:36:19:00	OF GROVE HALL THEY ARE
02:36:19:00	02:36:20:00	REQUESTING AND ADVOCATING FOR
02:36:20:00	02:36:20:00	RESIDENTIAL PARK IMPROVEMENT
02:36:20:00	02:36:23:00	BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST FRUSTRATED
02:36:23:00	02:36:27:00	ON NOT BEING ABLE TO PARK ON
02:36:27:00	02:36:27:00	THEIR STREET AND WITH THE
02:36:27:00	02:36:28:00	DEVELOPMENTS COMING IN WITH
02:36:28:00	02:36:32:00	LACK OF PARKING THIS IS BEING
02:36:32:00	02:36:32:00	EXASPERATED.
02:36:32:00	02:36:33:00	SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
02:36:33:00	02:36:35:00	CONVERSATION AND HOPEFULLY WE
02:36:35:00	02:36:36:00	CAN GET SOME CLEAR ANSWERS FROM

02:37:14:00	02:37:15:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
02:37:15:00	02:37:18:00	I RISE TODAY TO ADDRESS THE
02:37:18:00	02:37:19:00	MATTER OF TRANSPARENCY AND
02:37:19:00	02:37:19:00	FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
02:37:19:00	02:37:22:00	CONCERNING THE EXPANSION
02:37:22:00	02:37:23:00	OF BOSTON'S FREE MUSEUM ACCESS
02:37:23:00	02:37:26:00	PROGRAM.
02:37:26:00	02:37:27:00	LAST YEAR I FILED ALONG WITH
02:37:27:00	02:37:29:00	COUNCIL A PLAN A HEARING ORDER
02:37:29:00	02:37:30:00	DOCKET 1351 WHICH WAS REFERRED
02:37:30:00	02:37:33:00	TO THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION
02:37:33:00	02:37:34:00	TO DISCUSS THE EXTENSION
02:37:34:00	02:37:37:00	OF FREE MUSEUM PASSES
02:37:37:00	02:37:37:00	EXCLUSIVELY FOR FAMILIES.
02:37:37:00	02:37:41:00	AS AN ADVOCATE FOR EQUITABLE
02:37:41:00	02:37:42:00	ACCESS TO CULTURAL RESOURCES, I
02:37:42:00	02:37:45:00	CHAMPIONED THE EXPANSION TO
02:37:45:00	02:37:46:00	INCLUDE ALL BOSTON CHILDREN NOT
02:37:46:00	02:37:48:00	JUST THOSE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
02:37:48:00	02:37:49:00	HOWEVER, UNDERSTANDING OUR
02:37:49:00	02:37:52:00	FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.
02:37:52:00	02:37:53:00	I SOUGHT TO ENSURE THAT SUCH AN
02:37:53:00	02:37:56:00	EXPANSION WAS FINANCIALLY
02:37:56:00	02:37:57:00	FEASIBLE DESPITE SCHEDULING
02:37:57:00	02:38:00:00	THAT HEARING ON THIS MATTER.
02:38:00:00	02:38:01:00	THE ADMINISTRATION DECLINED TO
02:38:01:00	02:38:04:00	SEND ANY REPRESENTATIVE LEAVING
02:38:04:00	02:38:04:00	OUR QUESTIONS UNANSWERED.
02:38:04:00	02:38:05:00	NOW WE LEARNED THAT THE
02:38:05:00	02:38:08:00	ADMINISTRATION HAS MADE
02:38:08:00	02:38:09:00	ARRANGEMENTS WITH PARTICIPATING
02:38:09:00	02:38:12:00	MUSEUMS TO FORGO THEIR
02:38:12:00	02:38:12:00	VOLUNTARY PAYMENT IN LIEU
02:38:12:00	02:38:15:00	OF TAXES ALSO KNOWN AS PILOT
02:38:15:00	02:38:15:00	CONTRIBUTIONS WITHOUT INFORMING
02:38:15:00	02:38:16:00	THE COUNCIL.
02:38:16:00	02:38:19:00	THIS LACK OF TRANSPARENCY
02:38:19:00	02:38:20:00	UNDERMINES OUR COLLECTIVE
02:38:20:00	02:38:23:00	RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE INFORMED
02:38:23:00	02:38:23:00	FISCAL DECISIONS.
02:38:23:00	02:38:27:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON IS GOVERNED
02:38:27:00	02:38:28:00	BY A COLLABORATIVE BODY OF 14.
02:38:28:00	02:38:31:00	THE 13 COUNCILORS IN THE MAYOR
02:38:31:00	02:38:31:00	AND DECISIONS IMPACTING OUR
02:38:31:00	02:38:34:00	CITY'S FINANCES SHOULD INVOLVE
02:38:34:00	02:38:35:00	ALL OF US ENSURING THAT WE HAVE
02:38:35:00	02:38:39:00	ACCESS TO THE SAME INFORMATION
02:38:39:00	02:38:39:00	TO FULFILL OUR FISCAL DUTIES
02:38:39:00	02:38:43:00	EFFECTIVELY.
02:38:43:00	02:38:43:00	I URGE THE ADMINISTRATION TO
02:38:43:00	02:38:44:00	PROVIDE FULL TRANSPARENCY
02:38:44:00	02:38:47:00	REGARDING THESE AGREEMENTS AND
02:38:47:00	02:38:48:00	TO ENGAGE WITH THE COUNCIL IN
02:38:48:00	02:38:50:00	FUTURE DECISIONS AFFECTING OUR
02:38:50:00	02:38:51:00	CITY'S FISCAL HEALTH.
02:38:51:00	02:38:54:00	AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS
02:38:54:00	02:38:55:00	HEARING.
02:38:55:00	02:38:58:00	0974 AND I HOPE AND THANK YOU
02:38:58:00	02:38:59:00	COUNSELOR SANTANA YOU DID
02:38:59:00	02:39:01:00	SCHEDULED THAT HEARING.
02:39:01:00	02:39:02:00	YOU DID MAKE TIME AND WE WERE
02:39:02:00	02:39:05:00	ON BUT NO ONE CAME TO ANSWER
02:39:05:00	02:39:06:00	THOSE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
02:39:06:00	02:39:09:00	BECAUSE IT IS FUN TO PUT IN
02:39:09:00	02:39:12:00	FREE BUS LANES AND EXPAND
02:39:12:00	02:39:13:00	WONDERFUL PROGRAMS.
02:39:13:00	02:39:16:00	BUT WE DO HAVE TO MAKE SURE
02:39:16:00	02:39:17:00	THAT WE CAN AFFORD IT AND HOW
02:39:17:00	02:39:17:00	ARE WE PAYING FOR IT?
02:39:17:00	02:39:18:00	SO I'M HOPING THAT THE
02:39:18:00	02:39:21:00	ADMINISTRATION SHOWS UP TO FIND
02:39:21:00	02:39:22:00	OUT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT
02:39:22:00	02:39:24:00	THEN TAKING MONEY AWAY FROM
02:39:24:00	02:39:25:00	OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE
02:39:25:00	02:39:25:00	NEED TO DO IN THE CITY HERE.
02:39:25:00	02:39:31:00	SO THANK YOU.
02:39:31:00	02:39:31:00	THANK YOU.
02:39:31:00	02:39:32:00	THE CHAIR AND I JUST KIND
02:39:32:00	02:39:32:00	OF LINEA THE FLOOR.
02:39:32:00	02:39:34:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
02:39:34:00	02:39:37:00	AND THANK YOU COUNCILOR MURPHY
02:39:37:00	02:39:37:00	.
02:39:37:00	02:39:38:00	ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I WAS
02:39:38:00	02:39:41:00	GOING TO ASK OUT THAT MEETING I
02:39:41:00	02:39:41:00	KNOW THE ADMINISTRATION DIDN'T
02:39:41:00	02:39:45:00	SHOW UP BUT ONE OF THE
02:39:45:00	02:39:48:00	QUESTIONS I WAS GOING TO ASK IS
02:39:48:00	02:39:51:00	DUE TO THIS PROGRAM PROVIDING
02:39:51:00	02:39:56:00	FREE MUSEUM ACCESS TO US KIDS
02:39:56:00	02:39:56:00	THAT WE ALL SUPPORT.
02:39:56:00	02:40:00:00	BUT I ALSO SUPPORTED ALL BOSTON
02:40:00:00	02:40:00:00	KIDS ALONG WITH THE COUNCIL.
02:40:00:00	02:40:03:00	MURPHY.
02:40:03:00	02:40:04:00	BUT ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I WAS
02:40:04:00	02:40:07:00	GOING TO ASK WAS WHAT IMPACT
02:40:07:00	02:40:10:00	WOULD THIS HAVE ON FUTURE PILOT
02:40:10:00	02:40:11:00	PROGRAMS?
02:40:11:00	02:40:11:00	THAT WAS REALLY THE QUESTION I
02:40:11:00	02:40:14:00	WAS CONCERNED WHAT WHAT IMPACT
02:40:14:00	02:40:15:00	WOULD THIS HAVE ON THE FINANCES
02:40:15:00	02:40:18:00	OF THE CITY OF BOSTON?
02:40:18:00	02:40:22:00	WOULD THAT IF YOU PARTICIPATE
02:40:22:00	02:40:23:00	IN THAT PROGRAM, WOULD THAT
02:40:23:00	02:40:26:00	EXEMPT YOU DOWN THE ROAD FROM
02:40:26:00	02:40:27:00	NOT PAYING PAYMENT IN LIEU
02:40:27:00	02:40:30:00	OF TAXES?
02:40:30:00	02:40:34:00	I, I KNOW WE'VE FOUND OUT THE
02:40:34:00	02:40:37:00	ANSWER TO THAT RECENTLY BUT IN
02:40:37:00	02:40:38:00	THE INTEREST OF TRANSPARENCY
02:40:38:00	02:40:41:00	TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, I
02:40:41:00	02:40:45:00	THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE A
02:40:45:00	02:40:45:00	DISCUSSION.
02:40:45:00	02:40:46:00	I THINK MY CITY COUNCIL AS OUR
02:40:46:00	02:40:49:00	CITY COUNCIL IS WOULD ALSO WANT
02:40:49:00	02:40:49:00	TO KNOW WHAT IMPACT WOULD THAT
02:40:49:00	02:40:55:00	HAVE ON FUTURE PILOT PAYMENTS
02:40:55:00	02:40:55:00	FROM NINE PROFITS.
02:40:55:00	02:40:59:00	DOES THAT EXEMPT THEM?
02:40:59:00	02:40:59:00	GOING FORWARD IF YOU IF YOU
02:40:59:00	02:41:00:00	PARTICIPATED IN THE MUSEUM
02:41:00:00	02:41:03:00	PROGRAM AGAIN, WE SHOULD HAVE
02:41:03:00	02:41:04:00	HAD THAT HEARING WITH THE
02:41:04:00	02:41:08:00	ADMINISTRATION SO WE COULD HAVE
02:41:08:00	02:41:08:00	ASKED THAT AND ASKED THOSE
02:41:08:00	02:41:12:00	QUESTIONS BUT WE WEREN'T ABLE
02:41:12:00	02:41:12:00	TO DO THAT.
02:41:12:00	02:41:13:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
02:41:13:00	02:41:16:00	THANK YOU.
02:41:16:00	02:41:17:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
02:41:17:00	02:41:17:00	COUNCILOR DURKIN CONSIDERING
02:41:17:00	02:41:18:00	YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
02:41:18:00	02:41:19:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH.
02:41:19:00	02:41:19:00	AS THE CITY COUNCILOR FOR MANY
02:41:19:00	02:41:22:00	OF THESE INSTITUTIONS I CAN
02:41:22:00	02:41:23:00	TELL YOU THAT THEIR
02:41:23:00	02:41:23:00	CONTRIBUTION TO OUR CITY
02:41:23:00	02:41:26:00	THROUGH THIS PROGRAM IS
02:41:26:00	02:41:29:00	INCREDIBLE AND I THINK THE
02:41:29:00	02:41:30:00	CONVERSATION AROUND PILOT HAS
02:41:30:00	02:41:32:00	ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF CASH VERSUS
02:41:32:00	02:41:36:00	IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS AND AT A
02:41:36:00	02:41:37:00	TIME WHEN THE FEDERAL
02:41:37:00	02:41:37:00	GOVERNMENT IS CONSTANTLY
02:41:37:00	02:41:40:00	ATTACKING MUSEUMS AND
02:41:40:00	02:41:44:00	NONPROFITS AND INSTITUTIONS IN
02:41:44:00	02:41:44:00	DISTRICT EIGHT, I CAN TELL YOU
02:41:44:00	02:41:45:00	THAT THE OPTION FOR AN
02:41:45:00	02:41:49:00	INSTITUTION TO OFFER AN IN-KIND
02:41:49:00	02:41:49:00	BENEFIT TO RESIDENTS OF THE
02:41:49:00	02:41:52:00	CITY OF BOSTON ONE THAT IS
02:41:52:00	02:41:53:00	UNIQUELY ONE THAT THEY CAN
02:41:53:00	02:41:56:00	OFFER RESIDENTS OF THE CITY
02:41:56:00	02:41:56:00	OF BOSTON IS AN IDEAL SOLUTION
02:41:56:00	02:42:00:00	AND AS THE VICE CHAIR OF PILOT
02:42:00:00	02:42:04:00	ALONGSIDE THE WONDERFUL CHAIR
02:42:04:00	02:42:04:00	COUNCILOR BREADON, I THINK THIS
02:42:04:00	02:42:07:00	CONVERSATION IS INTERESTING AND
02:42:07:00	02:42:08:00	EXCITING BUT I DO THINK THAT
02:42:08:00	02:42:11:00	THERE HAS BEEN A POLITICALLY
02:42:11:00	02:42:11:00	MOTIVATED CHARGE AGAINST THIS
02:42:11:00	02:42:15:00	PARTICULAR PROGRAM AND WE'VE
02:42:15:00	02:42:16:00	NOTICED IT FROM THE VERY
02:42:16:00	02:42:19:00	BEGINNING WITHIN A WEEK OF THIS
02:42:19:00	02:42:19:00	PROGRAM COMING ONLINE THROUGH
02:42:19:00	02:42:22:00	THE MAYOR'S LAST STATE OF THE
02:42:22:00	02:42:23:00	CITY, IT IMMEDIATELY BECAME
02:42:23:00	02:42:27:00	POLITICIZED ABOUT WHO WAS
02:42:27:00	02:42:27:00	INVOLVED IN A SMALL PILOT
02:42:27:00	02:42:27:00	PROGRAM.
02:42:27:00	02:42:31:00	I OBVIOUSLY GOT UP AND HAD AN
02:42:31:00	02:42:34:00	ISSUE WITH THE CHARACTERIZATION
02:42:34:00	02:42:35:00	OF THE INITIAL PROGRAM.
02:42:35:00	02:42:35:00	A LOT OF THE PRIVATE
02:42:35:00	02:42:38:00	PHILANTHROPY THAT HAS GONE INTO
02:42:38:00	02:42:39:00	THIS PROGRAM IS FROM RESIDENTS
02:42:39:00	02:42:39:00	OF MY DISTRICT AND OTHER
02:42:39:00	02:42:42:00	INSTITUTIONS.
02:42:42:00	02:42:43:00	SO SO I THINK THIS CONVERSATION
02:42:43:00	02:42:45:00	IS IMPORTANT.
02:42:45:00	02:42:46:00	I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
02:42:46:00	02:42:47:00	IT STAYS ABOUT THE CONVERSATION
02:42:47:00	02:42:50:00	THAT IS AT HAND, WHICH IS ONE
02:42:50:00	02:42:50:00	ABOUT WHETHER INSTITUTIONS
02:42:50:00	02:42:53:00	SHOULD BE ABLE TO OFFER IN-KIND
02:42:53:00	02:42:54:00	BENEFITS AS PART OF THEIR
02:42:54:00	02:42:57:00	PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES.
02:42:57:00	02:42:58:00	AS WE KNOW WE CANNOT MAKE AN
02:42:58:00	02:43:01:00	INSTITUTION GIVE RESOURCES TO
02:43:01:00	02:43:02:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON.
02:43:02:00	02:43:05:00	THERE IS NO COMPELLING THING
02:43:05:00	02:43:09:00	THAT WE CAN DO AND I HAVING
02:43:09:00	02:43:10:00	WORKED WITH THESE INSTITUTIONS,
02:43:10:00	02:43:10:00	HAVING TOURED ALL OF THEM,
02:43:10:00	02:43:13:00	HAVING HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH
02:43:13:00	02:43:14:00	OUR LEADERSHIP, THIS IS A
02:43:14:00	02:43:16:00	REALLY UNIQUE SOLUTION THAT THE
02:43:16:00	02:43:17:00	ADMINISTRATION AND THE MAYOR
02:43:17:00	02:43:20:00	HAVE THOUGHT OF AND I THINK THE
02:43:20:00	02:43:21:00	MAYOR BEING A MOM WHO HAS
02:43:21:00	02:43:24:00	BROUGHT HER OWN CHILDREN TO
02:43:24:00	02:43:25:00	THESE INSTITUTIONS, I HAD THE
02:43:25:00	02:43:28:00	OPPORTUNITY TO BE AT THE
02:43:28:00	02:43:29:00	ISABELLA STEWART GARDNER MUSEUM
02:43:29:00	02:43:32:00	ON ONE OF THE FIRST SUNDAYS
02:43:32:00	02:43:32:00	WHERE ALL STUDENTS WERE
02:43:32:00	02:43:35:00	INCLUDED.
02:43:35:00	02:43:36:00	I REALLY APPRECIATED THAT
02:43:36:00	02:43:39:00	OPPORTUNITY TO SEE PEOPLE LIGHT
02:43:39:00	02:43:40:00	UP TO SEE TO SEE STUDENTS FOR
02:43:40:00	02:43:43:00	THE FIRST TIME BE ABLE TO
02:43:43:00	02:43:44:00	WITNESS AND BE PART OF OF A
02:43:44:00	02:43:47:00	PLACE THAT THEY NEVER GOTTEN
02:43:47:00	02:43:48:00	THE OPPORTUNITY TO TO TAKE IN.
02:43:48:00	02:43:51:00	I'VE ALSO ENJOYED THE MFA FOR
02:43:51:00	02:43:54:00	ONE OF THESE SUNDAYS AND I JUST
02:43:54:00	02:43:55:00	I WANT TO THANK THOSE
02:43:55:00	02:43:55:00	INSTITUTIONS FOR STEPPING
02:43:55:00	02:43:59:00	FORWARD FOR FOR REALLY
02:43:59:00	02:43:59:00	PARTNERING WITH THE
02:43:59:00	02:43:59:00	ADMINISTRATION FOR PARTNERING
02:43:59:00	02:44:03:00	WITH THE CITY OF BOSTON TO DO
02:44:03:00	02:44:04:00	SOMETHING THAT WE WITNESS IN
02:44:04:00	02:44:07:00	OTHER CITIES.
02:44:07:00	02:44:08:00	I MEAN I THINK WE ALL SEE D.C.
02:44:08:00	02:44:10:00	REALLY AS THE MODEL OF YOU CAN
02:44:10:00	02:44:11:00	WALK INTO ANY OF THE
02:44:11:00	02:44:11:00	SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION'S FOR
02:44:11:00	02:44:14:00	FREE.

02:44:15:00	02:44:18:00	AND NOW IT'S BECOMING REALITY.
02:44:18:00	02:44:19:00	AND I JUST WANT TO THANK THE
02:44:19:00	02:44:21:00	ADMINISTRATION FOR DOING THAT
02:44:21:00	02:44:22:00	WITH INSTITUTIONS IN MY
02:44:22:00	02:44:22:00	DISTRICT FOR THINKING
02:44:22:00	02:44:25:00	OF SOMETHING THAT IS UNIQUE AND
02:44:25:00	02:44:29:00	IS IS SOMETHING THAT I SEE A
02:44:29:00	02:44:30:00	LOT OF RESIDENTS BENEFITING
02:44:30:00	02:44:30:00	FROM.
02:44:30:00	02:44:33:00	BUT LET'S KEEP IT POSITIVE.

02:45:56:00	02:45:59:00	I THINK IT'S A COMBINATION
02:45:59:00	02:46:00:00	OF IF IF YOU PAY THE PIPER
02:46:00:00	02:46:03:00	PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES
02:46:03:00	02:46:06:00	WHETHER IT'S $200,000 OR
02:46:06:00	02:46:07:00	$400,000, THAT MONEY WOULD GO
02:46:07:00	02:46:10:00	INTO THE CITY BUDGET.
02:46:10:00	02:46:10:00	BUT THE BASICALLY THE CITY GAVE
02:46:10:00	02:46:14:00	THE PARTICULAR MUSEUMS THE
02:46:14:00	02:46:18:00	OPPORTUNITY NOT TO DONATE THE
02:46:18:00	02:46:20:00	$400,000 OF THE $500,000
02:46:20:00	02:46:24:00	INSTEAD OF THEY ARE GIVING FREE
02:46:24:00	02:46:25:00	ACCESS TO CHILDREN, GIVING THEM
02:46:25:00	02:46:28:00	THE OPPORTUNITY REALLY TO GO TO
02:46:28:00	02:46:30:00	THE MUSEUMS INSTEAD OF PAYING
02:46:30:00	02:46:31:00	THE FOUR OR $500,000 WHICH THEY
02:46:31:00	02:46:35:00	TRADITIONALLY HAVE PAID IS IS
02:46:35:00	02:46:38:00	THE PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES.
02:46:38:00	02:46:39:00	SO IT'S IT'S A SIGNIFICANT
02:46:39:00	02:46:41:00	AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR THE HANDFUL
02:46:41:00	02:46:42:00	OF MUSEUMS THAT WERE GIVEN THAT
02:46:42:00	02:46:45:00	OPPORTUNITY OR OPTION TO KIND
02:46:45:00	02:46:49:00	OF NOT PAY THAT PAYMENT INSTEAD
02:46:49:00	02:46:49:00	OF PAYING INSTEAD OF THAT
02:46:49:00	02:46:50:00	PAYMENT THEY WORK WITH THE CITY
02:46:50:00	02:46:54:00	TO GIVE THEM FREE ACCESS TO
02:46:54:00	02:46:56:00	CHILDREN HERE AND FOR THESE
02:46:56:00	02:46:57:00	WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL MUSEUMS
02:46:57:00	02:47:00:00	HOPE THAT ANSWERS THAT
02:47:00:00	02:47:00:00	QUESTION.
02:47:00:00	02:47:04:00	AND MADAM MADAM CHAIR, I DO
02:47:04:00	02:47:05:00	WANT TO I DO WANT TO RESPOND.
02:47:05:00	02:47:06:00	I DO WANT TO PROVIDE POSITIVE
02:47:06:00	02:47:09:00	LEADERSHIP.
02:47:09:00	02:47:09:00	BUT WHEN WHEN I AND
02:47:09:00	02:47:12:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY ADVOCATED FOR
02:47:12:00	02:47:13:00	ALL BOSTON CHILDREN, IT WASN'T
02:47:13:00	02:47:16:00	ABOUT POLITICS.
02:47:16:00	02:47:20:00	IT WASN'T ABOUT POLITICS AT ALL
02:47:20:00	02:47:20:00	.
02:47:20:00	02:47:21:00	I REPRESENT PROBABLY THE MOST
02:47:21:00	02:47:24:00	DIVERSE DISTRICT IN THE CITY.
02:47:24:00	02:47:25:00	I REPRESENT THE MOST RESIDENTS
02:47:25:00	02:47:28:00	LIVING IN PUBLIC HOUSING.
02:47:28:00	02:47:29:00	I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY
02:47:29:00	02:47:32:00	ALSO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
02:47:32:00	02:47:33:00	VISIT THESE WONDERFUL MUSEUMS
02:47:33:00	02:47:36:00	CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS MANY
02:47:36:00	02:47:39:00	OF THEM ATTEND PRIVATE SCHOOL.
02:47:39:00	02:47:43:00	SOME OF THEM ATTEND METCO AND
02:47:43:00	02:47:44:00	OTHER PROGRAMS AND THEY WEREN'T
02:47:44:00	02:47:47:00	ENTITLED TO THIS PROGRAM.
02:47:47:00	02:47:50:00	IT'S NOT ABOUT CASTING BLAME ON
02:47:50:00	02:47:51:00	ANYBODY BUT IT'S ABOUT WORKING
02:47:51:00	02:47:51:00	TOGETHER.
02:47:51:00	02:47:54:00	BUT THE LAST THING ON MY MIND
02:47:54:00	02:47:55:00	WHEN I WANTED TO WORK WITH
02:47:55:00	02:47:58:00	COUNCIL ON MURPHY ON THIS WAS
02:47:58:00	02:47:59:00	ABOUT THE POLITICS OF IT.
02:47:59:00	02:48:02:00	I JUST FEEL RESIDENTS IN MY
02:48:02:00	02:48:05:00	DISTRICT THAT GO TO PRIVATE
02:48:05:00	02:48:06:00	SCHOOLS SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN
02:48:06:00	02:48:10:00	GO TO THESE SAME MUSEUMS LIKE
02:48:10:00	02:48:10:00	WEALTHIER FAMILIES THAT HAVE
02:48:10:00	02:48:14:00	THE OPTION OF SENDING THEIR
02:48:14:00	02:48:14:00	KIDS TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
02:48:14:00	02:48:18:00	MANY MANY OF THEM DO SEND THEIR
02:48:18:00	02:48:18:00	CHILDREN TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND
02:48:18:00	02:48:20:00	THAT HAVE THE FINANCIAL MEANS
02:48:20:00	02:48:21:00	AND THAT IS WONDERFUL.
02:48:21:00	02:48:22:00	BUT MANY OF THESE CHILDREN THAT
02:48:22:00	02:48:24:00	GO TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS, CATHOLIC
02:48:24:00	02:48:28:00	SCHOOLS SOMETIMES GO THERE AND
02:48:28:00	02:48:29:00	THEY PAY LIMITED TUITION.
02:48:29:00	02:48:32:00	THEIR PARENT OR THEIR GUARDIAN
02:48:32:00	02:48:33:00	WORKS EXTREMELY HARD TO PAY
02:48:33:00	02:48:35:00	LIMITED TUITION.
02:48:35:00	02:48:36:00	BUT I ALSO THINK THEY SHOULD
02:48:36:00	02:48:37:00	HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT
02:48:37:00	02:48:40:00	SOME OF THESE MUSEUMS CATHEDRAL
02:48:40:00	02:48:40:00	HIGH SCHOOL.
02:48:40:00	02:48:44:00	JOHN IT'S IN MY DISTRICT IN
02:48:44:00	02:48:45:00	YOUR DISTRICT RIGHT IN THE LINE
02:48:45:00	02:48:48:00	THOSE FAMILIES ARE NOT WEALTHY.
02:48:48:00	02:48:52:00	THEY DON'T HAVE THEY DON'T
02:48:52:00	02:48:52:00	THEIR FAMILIES AREN'T MAKING A
02:48:52:00	02:48:55:00	LOT OF MONEY BUT SHOULD THEY BE
02:48:55:00	02:48:56:00	DENIED THE OPTION OF GOING TO
02:48:56:00	02:48:58:00	SOME OF THESE CULTURAL MUSEUMS
02:48:58:00	02:48:59:00	BECAUSE THEIR FAMILY DOESN'T
02:48:59:00	02:49:03:00	HAVE MONEY AND THEY AND THEY
02:49:03:00	02:49:03:00	ARE IN A PRIVATE SCHOOL?
02:49:03:00	02:49:06:00	IT'S ABOUT FAIRNESS.
02:49:06:00	02:49:07:00	IT'S ABOUT RESPECT.
02:49:07:00	02:49:09:00	IT'S ABOUT DIGNITY.
02:49:09:00	02:49:10:00	BUT THE LAST THING, MADAM
02:49:10:00	02:49:10:00	CHAIR, THANK YOU.
02:49:10:00	02:49:14:00	IT'S IT'S NOT ABOUT POLITICS
02:49:14:00	02:49:17:00	OF OF I'VE BEEN ON THIS BODY
02:49:17:00	02:49:17:00	SEVEN YEARS AND ABOUT THE LAST
02:49:17:00	02:49:21:00	THING I WANT TO DO IS PLAY
02:49:21:00	02:49:21:00	POLITICS WITH PEOPLE IN MY
02:49:21:00	02:49:21:00	DISTRICT.
02:49:21:00	02:49:24:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN.
02:49:24:00	02:49:25:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
02:49:25:00	02:49:25:00	COUNCILOR BREADON NEAR THE
02:49:25:00	02:49:25:00	FLOOR.
02:49:25:00	02:49:27:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
02:49:27:00	02:49:28:00	I'LL KEEP IT BRIEF.
02:49:28:00	02:49:31:00	YOU KNOW, AS A CHAIR OF THE
02:49:31:00	02:49:32:00	PILOTS COMMITTEE WE'VE BEEN IN
02:49:32:00	02:49:35:00	AN ART LONG AND VERY INVOLVED
02:49:35:00	02:49:38:00	AND LONGSTANDING CONVERSATION
02:49:38:00	02:49:38:00	BACK AND FORWARD WITH THE
02:49:38:00	02:49:41:00	ADMINISTRATION AND WITH SOME
02:49:41:00	02:49:42:00	REPRESENTATIVES OF OUR BIG
02:49:42:00	02:49:42:00	INSTITUTIONS.
02:49:42:00	02:49:47:00	I THINK IT'S RECOGNIZED THAT IN
02:49:47:00	02:49:49:00	BOSTON 90% OF THE CALL THE
02:49:49:00	02:49:52:00	PILOT PAYMENT COMES FROM NINE
02:49:52:00	02:49:53:00	INSTITUTIONS, NINE BIG ONES,
02:49:53:00	02:49:57:00	THE BIG X AND MEDS AND WE SAY
02:49:57:00	02:49:59:00	THAT'S WHAT 53% OF THE
02:49:59:00	02:50:02:00	NONTAXABLE PROPERTY IN THE CITY
02:50:02:00	02:50:02:00	OF BOSTON IS THOSE INSTITUTIONS
02:50:02:00	02:50:06:00	THAT DON'T PAY TAXES.
02:50:06:00	02:50:07:00	WELL THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS
02:50:07:00	02:50:07:00	PART OF THAT.
02:50:07:00	02:50:10:00	THEY DON'T PAY TAXES.
02:50:10:00	02:50:11:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON DOESN'T PAY
02:50:11:00	02:50:12:00	TAXES AND THEN WE HAVE OUR ADS
02:50:12:00	02:50:14:00	AND MEDS AND THEN WE HAVE OUR
02:50:14:00	02:50:14:00	CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS THE
02:50:14:00	02:50:15:00	CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS AND ARE
02:50:15:00	02:50:17:00	UNDER SCHOOLS OR PRIVATE
02:50:17:00	02:50:21:00	SCHOOLS LIKE A CATHOLIC
02:50:21:00	02:50:22:00	MEMORIAL OR VC HIGH OR ANY
02:50:22:00	02:50:25:00	OF THE JEWISH SCHOOLS.
02:50:25:00	02:50:25:00	THEY DON'T PAY TAXES EITHER.
02:50:25:00	02:50:31:00	SO I THINK THE ISSUE BUT I
02:50:31:00	02:50:32:00	THINK I APPLAUD THE MAYOR FOR
02:50:32:00	02:50:36:00	HAVING THE PILOT AND HAVING IT
02:50:36:00	02:50:37:00	RESTRICTED TO STUDENTS AND I
02:50:37:00	02:50:40:00	ALSO APPLAUD EXPANDING IT TO
02:50:40:00	02:50:40:00	ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS THAT WE
02:50:40:00	02:50:43:00	HAVE IN OUR CITY.
02:50:43:00	02:50:43:00	I THINK THERE'S AN ONGOING
02:50:43:00	02:50:44:00	CONVERSATION AND IT'S GOTTEN
02:50:44:00	02:50:47:00	MORE COMPLICATED.
02:50:47:00	02:50:48:00	AND LASTLY, I WISH WE'D PUT THE
02:50:48:00	02:50:51:00	WHOLE PILOT CONVERSATION
02:50:51:00	02:50:52:00	DEMANDING AT LEAST A YEAR AGO,
02:50:52:00	02:50:53:00	MAYBE TWO YEARS AGO BECAUSE
02:50:53:00	02:50:55:00	WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS
02:50:55:00	02:50:57:00	SINCE 1920, NOT 1917.
02:50:57:00	02:51:01:00	I'M NOT AT OLD 2017.
02:51:01:00	02:51:02:00	WE THE PILOT ACTION GROUP HAS
02:51:02:00	02:51:05:00	BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS SINCE
02:51:05:00	02:51:05:00	20 2017.
02:51:05:00	02:51:08:00	SO WE'RE GOING ON YEARS
02:51:08:00	02:51:09:00	OF CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW WE
02:51:09:00	02:51:12:00	NEED TO REVISE AND UPDATE THE
02:51:12:00	02:51:16:00	PILOT PROGRAM SO IT'S STILL A
02:51:16:00	02:51:19:00	WORK IN PROGRESS AND AND I
02:51:19:00	02:51:20:00	REALLY IN THIS MOMENT OF FISCAL
02:51:20:00	02:51:23:00	CONSTRAINT AND GIVEN THAT IN
02:51:23:00	02:51:24:00	THE LIGHT OF ALL THAT'S
02:51:24:00	02:51:25:00	HAPPENING AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL
02:51:25:00	02:51:27:00	AND HOW THE FEDERAL LEVEL IS
02:51:27:00	02:51:28:00	GOING AFTER OUR NONPROFITS LIKE
02:51:28:00	02:51:31:00	THEY'RE GOING TO GO AFTER NPR,
02:51:31:00	02:51:32:00	THEY'RE GOING TO GO AFTER WGBH,
02:51:32:00	02:51:35:00	THEY'RE GOING TO GO AFTER AND
02:51:35:00	02:51:35:00	THEY'RE GOING AFTER HARVARD AND
02:51:35:00	02:51:36:00	BE YOU AND ALL OF OUR
02:51:36:00	02:51:36:00	INSTITUTIONS.
02:51:36:00	02:51:38:00	SO THIS IS A REALLY DIFFICULT
02:51:38:00	02:51:42:00	TIME TO TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW,
02:51:42:00	02:51:46:00	HOW MUCH WE WE HOW MUCH WE
02:51:46:00	02:51:49:00	CHARGE OR WE CAN'T CHARGE HOW
02:51:49:00	02:51:50:00	MUCH VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS WE
02:51:50:00	02:51:53:00	EXPECT FROM OUR NONPROFITS IN
02:51:53:00	02:51:53:00	THE CITY.
02:51:53:00	02:51:54:00	SO AS I SAY, IT'S A WORK IN
02:51:54:00	02:51:57:00	PROGRESS AND I'M HOPING THAT
02:51:57:00	02:51:58:00	WE'RE GOING TO MAKE PROGRESS IN
02:51:58:00	02:52:00:00	THE NEAR FUTURE.
02:52:00:00	02:52:01:00	WE ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT IN
02:52:01:00	02:52:04:00	THIS MOMENT OF CRISIS WE STAND
02:52:04:00	02:52:05:00	SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH OUR
02:52:05:00	02:52:08:00	NONPROFITS AND SAY HANDS OFF,
02:52:08:00	02:52:09:00	THEY DO INCREDIBLE WORK AND WE
02:52:09:00	02:52:12:00	DO EXPECT TO HAVE SOME
02:52:12:00	02:52:13:00	VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS IN LIEU
02:52:13:00	02:52:15:00	OF TAXES FROM THEM.
02:52:15:00	02:52:16:00	BUT IN THIS MOMENT WE HAVE TO
02:52:16:00	02:52:19:00	FIND A FINESSE AND SUPPORT
02:52:19:00	02:52:19:00	EVERYONE TO KEEP KEEP THIS
02:52:19:00	02:52:20:00	THESE VITAL ENGINES OF OUR
02:52:20:00	02:52:24:00	ECONOMY GOING IN THE FACE
02:52:24:00	02:52:25:00	OF SUCH AN ALL OUT ASSAULT ON
02:52:25:00	02:52:28:00	THEM IN OUR CITY.
02:52:28:00	02:52:28:00	SO THANK YOU.
02:52:28:00	02:52:28:00	THANK YOU.
02:52:28:00	02:52:29:00	THANK YOU COUNCILOR BRANDON THE
02:52:29:00	02:52:31:00	CHAIR AND I JUST WANT TO MURPHY
02:52:31:00	02:52:31:00	THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
02:52:31:00	02:52:35:00	I DO JUST WANT TO IF PEOPLE MAY
02:52:35:00	02:52:37:00	FORGET THAT WHEN DOCKET AT 1351
02:52:37:00	02:52:41:00	WAS FILED IT THEN WAS SPLIT
02:52:41:00	02:52:41:00	WAITING FOR A HEARING IT HAD
02:52:41:00	02:52:44:00	BEEN IN ARTS AND CULTURE AND
02:52:44:00	02:52:45:00	THEN THE MONEY FUNDING WAS
02:52:45:00	02:52:48:00	SEPARATED OUT WHICH WAS
02:52:48:00	02:52:49:00	SOMETHING I DID OPPOSED TO WHEN
02:52:49:00	02:52:52:00	THAT HAPPENED AND THEN THAT WAS
02:52:52:00	02:52:53:00	THE HEARING THAT WENT INTO
02:52:53:00	02:52:53:00	EDUCATION.
02:52:53:00	02:52:56:00	SO FROM THE BEGINNING
02:52:56:00	02:52:56:00	COUNCIL OF FLYNN AND I HAVE
02:52:56:00	02:52:59:00	BEEN TRYING TO WORK ALONGSIDE
02:52:59:00	02:53:00:00	AND FIND WAYS AND MAKING SURE
02:53:00:00	02:53:03:00	THAT IT IS FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE
02:53:03:00	02:53:03:00	TO EXPAND.
02:53:03:00	02:53:06:00	SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO
02:53:06:00	02:53:07:00	CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION
02:53:07:00	02:53:10:00	ABOUT HOW WE FUNDING THIS
02:53:10:00	02:53:10:00	WONDERFUL PROGRAM BUT ANY OTHER
02:53:10:00	02:53:15:00	PROGRAM ACROSS THE CITY THAT WE
02:53:15:00	02:53:15:00	ON THE COUNCIL ARE RESPONSIBLE
02:53:15:00	02:53:18:00	FOR PASSING OR NOT.
02:53:18:00	02:53:18:00	SO WHEN THE ADMINISTRATION
02:53:18:00	02:53:19:00	DOESN'T SHOW UP, WHEN WE HAVE A
02:53:19:00	02:53:22:00	LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT WE WANT
02:53:22:00	02:53:22:00	ANSWERED AND THEN WE SUBMIT
02:53:22:00	02:53:26:00	QUESTIONS AT THE HEARING THAT
02:53:26:00	02:53:30:00	NEVER DID THEN GET ANSWERED, IT
02:53:30:00	02:53:30:00	LEAVES US IN THE DARK AND

02:53:50:00	02:53:52:00	INCREDIBLE THE EXPANSION AND I
02:53:52:00	02:53:53:00	THINK ABOUT MYSELF AS A KID IN
02:53:53:00	02:53:53:00	MY PARENTS AND THERE HAVE BEEN
02:53:53:00	02:53:56:00	VERY LIMITED BUDGET IN MY
02:53:56:00	02:53:57:00	ABILITY AS A KID IN THE CITY TO
02:53:57:00	02:53:59:00	GO TO THESE INSTITUTIONS AND
02:53:59:00	02:54:00:00	HAVING TO TRADE OFF THE COST
02:54:00:00	02:54:03:00	AND SO I THINK THESE ARE
02:54:03:00	02:54:03:00	IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS

02:55:53:00	02:55:54:00	I DECIDED TO OFFER THIS HEARING
02:55:54:00	02:55:58:00	ORDER IN THE LIGHT OF THE FACT
02:55:58:00	02:56:01:00	THAT OUR VERONICA SMITH SENIOR
02:56:01:00	02:56:05:00	CENTER IS GETTING A NEW HEAT
02:56:05:00	02:56:05:00	FAX SYSTEM.
02:56:05:00	02:56:06:00	IT'S FOUR AND A HALF MILLION
02:56:06:00	02:56:08:00	DOLLARS.
02:56:08:00	02:56:09:00	IT'S GOING TO BE WONDERFUL.

02:56:13:00	02:56:16:00	COOLING SYSTEM INTO THE
02:56:16:00	02:56:16:00	VERONICA SMITH WILL WILL
02:56:16:00	02:56:19:00	REQUIRE THAT THE VA KEEP THE
02:56:19:00	02:56:20:00	BUILDING AND I THINK IT'S
02:56:20:00	02:56:23:00	SCHEDULED TO HAPPEN IN
02:56:23:00	02:56:24:00	SEPTEMBER.
02:56:24:00	02:56:24:00	SO I MADE SURE THAT IT WAS
02:56:24:00	02:56:27:00	GOING TO HAPPEN WITHIN THIS
02:56:27:00	02:56:27:00	HEAT SYSTEM SEASON.
02:56:27:00	02:56:30:00	BUT WE DO GET HOT WEATHER
02:56:30:00	02:56:31:00	SEPTEMBER THAT SAID, I'M
02:56:31:00	02:56:32:00	DELIGHTED THEY'RE GETTING A NEW
02:56:32:00	02:56:35:00	COOLING SYSTEM, MAYBE A CHECK
02:56:35:00	02:56:38:00	SYSTEM BUT OUR COOLING CENTER
02:56:38:00	02:56:42:00	IN THE CITY AND ALSO IN
02:56:42:00	02:56:43:00	BRIGHTON HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE
02:56:43:00	02:56:44:00	JACKSON MOUND COMMUNITY CENTER
02:56:44:00	02:56:46:00	AND AS YOU ALL KNOW IT'S IN A
02:56:46:00	02:56:47:00	SORT OF SHAKY POSITION RIGHT
02:56:47:00	02:56:50:00	NOW.
02:56:50:00	02:56:54:00	I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THE ISSUE
02:56:54:00	02:56:54:00	COOLING CENTERS NOT JUST IN MY
02:56:54:00	02:56:57:00	DISTRICT BUT ACROSS THE ACROSS
02:56:57:00	02:56:58:00	THE NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE IT
02:56:58:00	02:57:01:00	LAST YEAR ON JUNE 10TH WHICH
02:57:01:00	02:57:02:00	WAS A HOLIDAY IN THE CITY
02:57:02:00	02:57:06:00	OF BOSTON, TEMPERATURES HIT
02:57:06:00	02:57:06:00	LIKE IN THE HIGH NINETIES IT
02:57:06:00	02:57:09:00	WAS HIGH HUMIDITY AND I SPOKE
02:57:09:00	02:57:12:00	TO THE SCHOOLS WERE CLOSED THE
02:57:12:00	02:57:13:00	COMMUNITY CENTERS WERE CLOSED.
02:57:13:00	02:57:17:00	THE SENIOR CENTER WAS H A HAD
02:57:17:00	02:57:21:00	ALL THE KIDS HOME FROM SCHOOL
02:57:21:00	02:57:22:00	THAT DAY AND THEY WERE REALLY
02:57:22:00	02:57:25:00	SCRAMBLING TO FIND SPLASH PADS
02:57:25:00	02:57:25:00	AND MISTING TENDS TO TRY AND
02:57:25:00	02:57:28:00	KEEP PEOPLE COOL.
02:57:28:00	02:57:29:00	INCREASED TEMPERATURES LIKE
02:57:29:00	02:57:32:00	THESE HEAT WAVES THAT WE HAVE
02:57:32:00	02:57:35:00	THE EVERY YEAR GETS HOTTER THAN
02:57:35:00	02:57:36:00	THE PREVIOUS ONE IN THE CITY
02:57:36:00	02:57:39:00	OF BOSTON AND GLOBALLY.
02:57:39:00	02:57:40:00	SO WE ARE RIGHT IN THE MIDST
02:57:40:00	02:57:43:00	OF IT JUST LIKE
02:57:43:00	02:57:43:00	COUNCILOR COLLETTE FREQUENTLY
02:57:43:00	02:57:47:00	REFERENCES THE FLOODING HAZARDS
02:57:47:00	02:57:50:00	HEAT DAYS AND EXTREME
02:57:50:00	02:57:51:00	TEMPERATURES ARE ANOTHER OF THE
02:57:51:00	02:57:54:00	HAZARDS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND
02:57:54:00	02:57:55:00	WE NEED TO BE PREPARED.
02:57:55:00	02:57:58:00	SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE
02:57:58:00	02:57:59:00	THAT ALL OF OUR COOLING CENTERS
02:57:59:00	02:58:00:00	ARE UP AND RUNNING AND READY TO
02:58:00:00	02:58:02:00	GO.
02:58:02:00	02:58:03:00	WE GET EXTREME HEAT IN MAY, WE
02:58:03:00	02:58:06:00	GET EXTREME WE HEAT IN JUNE

02:58:10:00	02:58:14:00	WE MIGHT NOT GET THE FIVE DAY
02:58:14:00	02:58:14:00	SESSIONS.
02:58:14:00	02:58:15:00	THE OTHER THING THAT WE HAD IN
02:58:15:00	02:58:17:00	THIS INCIDENCE OF UTILITY WE
02:58:17:00	02:58:18:00	HAD A UTILITY OUTAGE IN
02:58:18:00	02:58:22:00	BRIGHTON A FEW AND A FEW YEARS
02:58:22:00	02:58:22:00	AGO AND THE YEAR BEFORE LAST
02:58:22:00	02:58:26:00	AND IT WAS A VOLUNTARY OUTAGE.
02:58:26:00	02:58:29:00	IT WASN'T A BROWNOUT BUT THE
02:58:29:00	02:58:29:00	UTILITY COMPANIES NEEDED TO
02:58:29:00	02:58:30:00	SHUT THE SYSTEM DOWN SO THEY
02:58:30:00	02:58:33:00	COULD DO URGENT REPAIRS TO
02:58:33:00	02:58:33:00	PREVENT A CATASTROPHIC OUTAGE
02:58:33:00	02:58:36:00	THAT WOULD HAVE KNOCKED THE
02:58:36:00	02:58:37:00	ELECTRIC ELECTRICITY OUT FROM
02:58:37:00	02:58:37:00	TWO OF OUR HOSPITALS.
02:58:37:00	02:58:40:00	ST ELIZABETH, SAN FRANCISCO.
02:58:40:00	02:58:41:00	SO WE DIDN'T HAVE IT PUT THE
02:58:41:00	02:58:46:00	PUT THE POWER OFF FOR 24 HOURS
02:58:46:00	02:58:47:00	AND THERE WAS NO PLAN.
02:58:47:00	02:58:50:00	WE DIDN'T HAVE IT.
02:58:50:00	02:58:50:00	WE DIDN'T HAVE A HEATING
02:58:50:00	02:58:53:00	COOLING CENTER READY TO GO AND
02:58:53:00	02:58:54:00	CONSTITUENTS WERE CALLING CAN I
02:58:54:00	02:58:57:00	BRING MY PETS?
02:58:57:00	02:58:58:00	CAN I BRING MY PETS TO THE
02:58:58:00	02:58:58:00	COOLING CENTER?
02:58:58:00	02:59:01:00	AND THEN IN THOSE INSTANCES HOW
02:59:01:00	02:59:02:00	DO WE COMMUNICATE WITH OUR
02:59:02:00	02:59:02:00	VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES OR
02:59:02:00	02:59:05:00	ELDERS AND PEOPLE WITH
02:59:05:00	02:59:08:00	ILLNESSES THAT REQUIRE USING A
02:59:08:00	02:59:08:00	LIKE A BREATHING APPARATUS?
02:59:08:00	02:59:12:00	I HAD A PATIENT ONCE IN SOUTH
02:59:12:00	02:59:12:00	BOSTON ACTUALLY THERE WAS AN
02:59:12:00	02:59:15:00	OUTAGE OVERNIGHT AND SHE WAS
02:59:15:00	02:59:16:00	BEDBOUND BUT HAD A MATTRESS
02:59:16:00	02:59:19:00	THAT INFLATED AND DEFLATED TO
02:59:19:00	02:59:22:00	PREVENT PRESSURE SORES AND
02:59:22:00	02:59:23:00	DURING THE OUTAGE WHEN I WENT
02:59:23:00	02:59:24:00	TO SEE HER THE NEXT DAY SHE HAD
02:59:24:00	02:59:27:00	DEVELOPED PRESSURE SORES FROM
02:59:27:00	02:59:27:00	NOT HAVING A POWER POWER TO RUN
02:59:27:00	02:59:30:00	HER MEDICAL EQUIPMENT.
02:59:30:00	02:59:31:00	SO I THINK THIS IS A REALLY
02:59:31:00	02:59:33:00	IMPORTANT THING WE NEED TO SORT
02:59:33:00	02:59:34:00	DIG INTO AND I LOOK FORWARD TO
02:59:34:00	02:59:35:00	THE CONVERSATION.
02:59:35:00	02:59:38:00	THANK YOU.

02:59:43:00	02:59:45:00	IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.
02:59:45:00	02:59:49:00	COOLING CENTERS ARE CRITICAL
02:59:49:00	02:59:50:00	ONE ONE AND SOME OF THE
02:59:50:00	02:59:52:00	COUNCILOR BREADON MENTIONED IT
02:59:52:00	02:59:52:00	WAS 100 DEGREES BUT ONE OF MY
02:59:52:00	02:59:55:00	BUDDIES IN CHINATOWN NOT ON THE
02:59:55:00	02:59:56:00	LIST AT THAT TIME I HAD TO
02:59:56:00	03:00:00:00	FIGHT TO GET A CENTER OPENED IN
03:00:00:00	03:00:00:00	CHINATOWN.
03:00:00:00	03:00:03:00	BUT AS WE HAVE THIS DISCUSSION
03:00:03:00	03:00:03:00	I WANT THE CITY ADMINISTRATION
03:00:03:00	03:00:07:00	TO KNOW THAT IT'S CRITICAL THAT
03:00:07:00	03:00:10:00	EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD HAVE A AN
03:00:10:00	03:00:10:00	IMPORTANT CENTER WHERE
03:00:10:00	03:00:14:00	RESIDENTS CAN GET THEIR.
03:00:14:00	03:00:15:00	THE OTHER ISSUE I WANTED TO
03:00:15:00	03:00:17:00	HIGHLIGHT BESIDES BESIDES
03:00:17:00	03:00:18:00	CHINATOWN HAVING A COOLING
03:00:18:00	03:00:21:00	CENTER THERE MUST BE SPECIAL
03:00:21:00	03:00:26:00	CIRCUMSTANCES IN SUPPORT

03:05:50:00	03:05:50:00	GUIDELINES FOR INITIATING A
03:05:50:00	03:05:51:00	SPECIAL ELECTION WHEN A
03:05:51:00	03:05:54:00	DISTRICT COUNCIL SEAT BECOMES
03:05:54:00	03:05:54:00	VACANT, IT REMAINS SILENT ON
03:05:54:00	03:05:58:00	THE STATUS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
03:05:58:00	03:05:59:00	OF THE STAFF EMPLOYED BY A

03:06:02:00	03:06:06:00	THERE IS AN UNDERSTANDING.
03:06:06:00	03:06:09:00	THERE IS, YOU KNOW, BELIEF I

03:06:13:00	03:06:17:00	BUT I DO BELIEVE THERE IS AN
03:06:17:00	03:06:17:00	ABSENCE OF CLEAR GUIDELINES
03:06:17:00	03:06:20:00	THAT HAS LED TO VARYING

03:06:31:00	03:06:32:00	CONSTITUENT SERVICES ARE THE
03:06:32:00	03:06:35:00	LIFEBLOOD OF OUR WORK AS
03:06:35:00	03:06:35:00	COUNCILORS.
03:06:35:00	03:06:36:00	MANY RESIDENTS RELY ON OUR
03:06:36:00	03:06:39:00	OFFICES FOR ASSISTANCE WITH A

03:06:43:00	03:06:44:00	CONCERNS.
03:06:44:00	03:06:47:00	THE SUDDEN DEPARTURE OF A
03:06:47:00	03:06:48:00	COUNCILOR AT ANY TIME SHOULD
03:06:48:00	03:06:50:00	NOT DISRUPT THE CONTINUED
03:06:50:00	03:06:51:00	CONTINUITY OF THE ESSENTIAL
03:06:51:00	03:06:54:00	SERVICES THEY DESERVE.
03:06:54:00	03:06:55:00	RECENT EVENTS HAVE HIGHLIGHTED
03:06:55:00	03:06:58:00	THAT CHALLENGES THAT ARISE WHEN
03:06:58:00	03:06:59:00	THERE IS AMBIGUITY ABOUT THE
03:06:59:00	03:07:02:00	ROLE OF A DISTRICT OFFICE STAFF
03:07:02:00	03:07:02:00	DURING SUCH TRANSITIONS.
03:07:02:00	03:07:05:00	FOR INSTANCE, IN THE CASE OF A
03:07:05:00	03:07:06:00	DISTRICT VACANCY THERE IS
03:07:06:00	03:07:09:00	UNCERTAINTY ABOUT WHETHER THE
03:07:09:00	03:07:09:00	STAFF WILL REMAIN IN PLACE TO
03:07:09:00	03:07:12:00	SERVE CONSTITUENTS AND SOME

03:07:20:00	03:07:21:00	DIFFERENT DISTRICTS ACROSS THE
03:07:21:00	03:07:21:00	CITY.
03:07:21:00	03:07:24:00	WHILE AT LARGE COUNCILORS ARE
03:07:24:00	03:07:25:00	WILLING TO STEP IN TO ASSIST.
03:07:25:00	03:07:28:00	THERE'S THAT'S NOT SUSTAINABLE
03:07:28:00	03:07:28:00	OR EQUITABLE SOLUTION FOR ALL
03:07:28:00	03:07:29:00	DISTRICTS.
03:07:29:00	03:07:32:00	I BELIEVE IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT
03:07:32:00	03:07:32:00	WE ESTABLISH STANDARDIZED
03:07:32:00	03:07:35:00	PROCEDURES TO ENSURE

03:07:39:00	03:07:39:00	OF TRANSITION.
03:07:39:00	03:07:40:00	THIS INCLUDES CLEAR GUIDELINES

03:07:48:00	03:07:51:00	SUPPORT.
03:07:51:00	03:07:52:00	FURTHERMORE, I BELIEVE WE MUST

03:07:55:00	03:07:55:00	STAFF MEMBERS THEMSELVES.
03:07:55:00	03:07:59:00	WITHOUT CLEAR POLICIES THEY MAY
03:07:59:00	03:08:00:00	FACE UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THEIR
03:08:00:00	03:08:03:00	EMPLOYMENT STATUS, ABOUT
03:08:03:00	03:08:03:00	RESPONSIBILITIES AND FEEL AS
03:08:03:00	03:08:04:00	THOUGH THEY DON'T HAVE THE
03:08:04:00	03:08:07:00	SUPPORT THEY DESERVE DURING

03:08:08:00	03:08:11:00	PROVIDING FLAHERTY NOT ONLY
03:08:11:00	03:08:12:00	BENEFITS CONSTITUENTS BUT I
03:08:12:00	03:08:14:00	BELIEVE MORE IMPORTANTLY

03:08:15:00	03:08:18:00	STABILITY OF OUR DEDICATED
03:08:18:00	03:08:18:00	COUNCIL STAFF THAT THEY
03:08:18:00	03:08:18:00	DESERVE.

03:41:05:00	03:41:06:00	JARRING THING TO WITNESS AND
03:41:06:00	03:41:10:00	THE RESEARCH WOULD BE MUCH

03:46:00:00	03:46:04:00	DISCRIMINATION AND RACISM IN
03:46:04:00	03:46:05:00	THE PAST LIKE THE CHINESE
03:46:05:00	03:46:08:00	EXCLUSION ACT, THE INTERNMENT
03:46:08:00	03:46:08:00	OF JAPANESE-AMERICANS DURING
03:46:08:00	03:46:11:00	WORLD WAR I CHO AND THESE
03:46:11:00	03:46:11:00	CHALLENGES STILL REMAIN AS WE
03:46:11:00	03:46:14:00	HAVE SEEN DURING THE COVID 19
03:46:14:00	03:46:15:00	PANDEMIC WITH ANTI-ASIAN
03:46:15:00	03:46:18:00	SENTIMENTS AND ATTACKS ON
03:46:18:00	03:46:19:00	ELDERLY AND ASIAN RESIDENTS.
03:46:19:00	03:46:22:00	ACTUALLY I HAD I CALLED FOR THE
03:46:22:00	03:46:25:00	FIRST PUBLIC HEARING DURING THE
03:46:25:00	03:46:29:00	START OF COVID 19 FIRST PUBLIC
03:46:29:00	03:46:29:00	HEARING IN THE COUNTRY.
03:46:29:00	03:46:31:00	WE HAD A JOSIAH QUINCY AND ONE
03:46:31:00	03:46:32:00	OF THE ISSUES I'LL TELL THIS
03:46:32:00	03:46:35:00	STORY BRIEFLY ONE OF THE MOST
03:46:35:00	03:46:38:00	PROFOUND STORIES I HEARD AS A
03:46:38:00	03:46:39:00	CITY COUNCILOR WAS A YOUNG
03:46:39:00	03:46:42:00	ASIAN AMERICAN STUDENT.
03:46:42:00	03:46:43:00	I BELIEVE SHE WENT TO THE
03:46:43:00	03:46:46:00	BOSTON LATIN THE BOSTON LATIN
03:46:46:00	03:46:49:00	ACADEMY AND SHE TOLD ME ONCE
03:46:49:00	03:46:50:00	THIS PANDEMIC WAS STARTED
03:46:50:00	03:46:53:00	STARTING THAT SHE WAS TAKING
03:46:53:00	03:46:55:00	THE TRAIN TO SCHOOL AND WHEN
03:46:55:00	03:47:00:00	SHE GOT ON THE TRAIN THE PEOPLE
03:47:00:00	03:47:04:00	ON THE TRAIN GOT UP AND LEFT
03:47:04:00	03:47:04:00	THE TRAIN MOSTLY WHITE PEOPLE.
03:47:04:00	03:47:07:00	THEY GOT UP AND LEFT THE TRAIN
03:47:07:00	03:47:07:00	.
03:47:07:00	03:47:08:00	THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE WITH
03:47:08:00	03:47:08:00	HER.
03:47:08:00	03:47:11:00	THEY ASSOCIATED HER WITH COVID
03:47:11:00	03:47:15:00	19 AND WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT
03:47:15:00	03:47:15:00	DURING THE PANDEMIC?
03:47:15:00	03:47:16:00	WELL, IN GREAT CITIES LIKE
03:47:16:00	03:47:19:00	BOSTON, NEW YORK, CHICAGO, SAN
03:47:19:00	03:47:23:00	FRANCISCO, LOS ANGELES WITH
03:47:23:00	03:47:24:00	LARGE ASIAN POPULATIONS, WE SAW
03:47:24:00	03:47:27:00	HATE CRIMES TAKE PLACE.
03:47:27:00	03:47:28:00	A LOT OF IT IN MY OPINION WAS
03:47:28:00	03:47:31:00	THE RHETORIC AND THE HATEFUL
03:47:31:00	03:47:34:00	RHETORIC COMING FROM THE
03:47:34:00	03:47:35:00	FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION AT THAT
03:47:35:00	03:47:38:00	TIME.
03:47:38:00	03:47:39:00	THE OTHER STORY I JUST WANTED
03:47:39:00	03:47:42:00	TO HIGHLIGHT IS I MENTIONED IT
03:47:42:00	03:47:43:00	BRIEFLY IS WHEN THE CHINESE
03:47:43:00	03:47:46:00	WORKING WITH THE IRISH BUT THE
03:47:46:00	03:47:47:00	CHINESE REALLY BUILT THE
03:47:47:00	03:47:50:00	TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD
03:47:50:00	03:47:50:00	ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND WHEN
03:47:50:00	03:47:53:00	THEY CONNECTED IT JUST OUTSIDE
03:47:53:00	03:47:54:00	OF SALT LAKE CITY THERE WAS A
03:47:54:00	03:47:57:00	FAMOUS PHOTO OF ALL THE WORKERS
03:47:57:00	03:47:58:00	A COUPLE HUNDRED PEOPLE IN THE
03:47:58:00	03:48:01:00	PHOTO AND NOT ONE NOT ONE ASIAN
03:48:01:00	03:48:04:00	PERSON WAS IN THE PHOTO EVEN
03:48:04:00	03:48:05:00	THOUGH THEY PRACTICALLY BUILT
03:48:05:00	03:48:08:00	THE RAILROAD SYSTEM.
03:48:08:00	03:48:09:00	WHAT DID THE US GOVERNMENT DO
03:48:09:00	03:48:09:00	AFTER THAT?
03:48:09:00	03:48:12:00	WELL, WE DESIGNED A SPECIFIC
03:48:12:00	03:48:16:00	IMMIGRATION POLICY TO IN THE
03:48:16:00	03:48:17:00	FIRST TIME TO EXCLUDE A
03:48:17:00	03:48:20:00	SPECIFIC RACE OF PEOPLE NAMING
03:48:20:00	03:48:23:00	THEM THE CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT
03:48:23:00	03:48:26:00	WORLD WAR TWO WHAT DID WE DO?
03:48:26:00	03:48:27:00	WELL, WE PUT JAPANESE
03:48:27:00	03:48:31:00	INTERNMENT CAMPS MOSTLY OUT ON
03:48:31:00	03:48:36:00	THE WEST COAST SEATTLE, SAN
03:48:36:00	03:48:36:00	FRANCISCO BUT ALSO ALSO AROUND
03:48:36:00	03:48:39:00	HERE AS WELL.
03:48:39:00	03:48:42:00	SO THE REASON I BRING THIS UP
03:48:42:00	03:48:43:00	IS THE ASIAN COMMUNITY HAS
03:48:43:00	03:48:46:00	CONTRIBUTED GREATLY TO THE CITY
03:48:46:00	03:48:49:00	AND COUNTRY.
03:48:49:00	03:48:50:00	THEY'RE UNSUNG HEROES IN MY
03:48:50:00	03:48:53:00	OPINION BUT THERE'S STILL A LOT
03:48:53:00	03:48:56:00	OF ANTI-ASIAN RACISM AND HATE
03:48:56:00	03:48:57:00	THAT WE CONTINUE TO SEE TODAY
03:48:57:00	03:48:58:00	AND THAT'S WHY I CONTINUE TO
03:48:58:00	03:48:59:00	FOCUS IT.

03:49:50:00	03:49:54:00	OF NEEDED SUPPORT TO THE

03:51:28:00	03:51:32:00	ME AS AN ORIGINAL CO-SPONSOR.
03:51:32:00	03:51:33:00	I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT WHEN WE
03:51:33:00	03:51:36:00	THINK ABOUT MONTHS LIKE THIS IT
03:51:36:00	03:51:37:00	IS ITALIAN HERITAGE MONTH
03:51:37:00	03:51:40:00	HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH.
03:51:40:00	03:51:41:00	YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S
03:51:41:00	03:51:42:00	IMPORTANT TO CENTER THE FACT
03:51:42:00	03:51:44:00	THAT IT SHOULD NOT JUST BE A
03:51:44:00	03:51:44:00	MONTH.
03:51:44:00	03:51:48:00	WE SHOULD ALWAYS UPLIFT ALL
03:51:48:00	03:51:48:00	OF OUR COMMUNITIES AT ALL
03:51:48:00	03:51:48:00	TIMES.
03:51:48:00	03:51:51:00	AND SO I JUST WANTED TO AFFIRM
03:51:51:00	03:51:52:00	THAT, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S
03:51:52:00	03:51:55:00	REALLY IMPORTANT TO IN
03:51:55:00	03:51:56:00	FURTHERING THIS WORK
03:51:56:00	03:51:56:00	OF BUILDING BRIDGES BETWEEN ALL
03:51:56:00	03:51:59:00	COMMUNITIES OF COLOR HERE IN
03:51:59:00	03:51:59:00	BOSTON.
03:51:59:00	03:52:02:00	TOO OFTEN WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO
03:52:02:00	03:52:03:00	FALL VICTIM TO PITTING ONE
03:52:03:00	03:52:03:00	RACIAL GROUP AGAINST THE OTHER.
03:52:03:00	03:52:06:00	BUT THE TRUTH IS IS THAT WE'RE
03:52:06:00	03:52:07:00	ALL STRONGER WHEN WE BAND
03:52:07:00	03:52:10:00	TOGETHER AND THAT INCLUDES
03:52:10:00	03:52:10:00	RECOGNIZING THE INCREDIBLE

03:52:14:00	03:52:14:00	COMMUNITY.
03:52:14:00	03:52:17:00	I ALSO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO

03:52:22:00	03:52:26:00	COMMUNITY IS INCREDIBLY
03:52:26:00	03:52:26:00	DIVERSE.

04:10:29:00	04:10:30:00	BRIGHTON ACTUALLY IS THE HOME
04:10:30:00	04:10:36:00	TO A GROWING JEWISH COMMUNITY.
04:10:36:00	04:10:37:00	IT'S AN OLD COMMUNITY BUT IT'S
04:10:37:00	04:10:40:00	ALSO GROWING IN A NEW WAY.
04:10:40:00	04:10:40:00	WE HAVE INCREASED NUMBERS
04:10:40:00	04:10:41:00	OF YOUNG FAMILIES IN THE
04:10:41:00	04:10:44:00	NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT'S JUST A
04:10:44:00	04:10:45:00	VERY VIBRANT PLACE AT THIS TIME
04:10:45:00	04:10:50:00	OF THE YEAR ESPECIALLY PASSOVER
04:10:50:00	04:10:50:00	.
04:10:50:00	04:10:51:00	BUT WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER SIDE
04:10:51:00	04:10:54:00	TO IT IN THE SENSE THAT A FEW
04:10:54:00	04:10:55:00	YEARS AGO IT WAS GOING TO BE
04:10:55:00	04:11:01:00	THIS BUT 2021 THE LOCAL LOCAL
04:11:01:00	04:11:01:00	WAS ATTACKED AND STABBED ON THE
04:11:01:00	04:11:05:00	ON BRIGHTON COMMON WHICH IS ONE
04:11:05:00	04:11:05:00	OF OUR PARKS JUST ACROSS FROM
04:11:05:00	04:11:08:00	THE SCHOOL AND WE'VE HAD SINCE
04:11:08:00	04:11:11:00	SEEN AN INCREASE IN
04:11:11:00	04:11:11:00	ANTI-SEMITIC AND NEO-NAZI SORT
04:11:11:00	04:11:15:00	OF GRAFFITI AROUND THE
04:11:15:00	04:11:15:00	NEIGHBORHOOD.
04:11:15:00	04:11:16:00	SO I THINK WE ALL NEED TO JUST
04:11:16:00	04:11:20:00	RECOGNIZE THIS WE LIVE IN A

04:11:34:00	04:11:34:00	PEACEFUL PLACE.
04:11:34:00	04:11:37:00	AND I THINK IT'S WORTH WORKING
04:11:37:00	04:11:38:00	TO CONTINUE TO PROMOTE MUTUAL
04:11:38:00	04:11:42:00	UNDERSTAND AND PEACE AMONG ALL
