00:21:57:00	00:22:00:00	WE ARE FIGHTING TO
00:22:00:00	00:22:00:00	SIGNIFICANTLY BOOST SOME OF THE

00:23:45:00	00:23:47:00	A BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER
00:23:47:00	00:23:51:00	AND I AM HERE TODAY BECAUSE TOO
00:23:51:00	00:23:52:00	WE HAVE BARTENDERS FOR A REASON
00:23:52:00	00:23:53:00	AND TO REPLACE THEM WITH
00:23:53:00	00:23:55:00	AUTOMATION IS TO CREATE A
00:23:55:00	00:23:59:00	DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR OUR
00:23:59:00	00:23:59:00	COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
00:23:59:00	00:24:03:00	A BARTENDER CAN CHECK YOUR ID
00:24:03:00	00:24:04:00	AND KNOW IF IT'S A FAKE.
00:24:04:00	00:24:07:00	A BARTENDER WILL STOP YOU FROM
00:24:07:00	00:24:08:00	TAKING MORE BEERS THAN YOU
00:24:08:00	00:24:11:00	SHOULD HAVE.
00:24:11:00	00:24:11:00	A BARTENDER WILL OPEN THOSE
00:24:11:00	00:24:12:00	CANS FOR YOU SO YOU DON'T JUST
00:24:12:00	00:24:14:00	STUFF THEM INTO YOUR POCKETS
00:24:14:00	00:24:15:00	AND WALK AWAY.
00:24:15:00	00:24:16:00	A BARTENDER WILL NOTICE IF YOU
00:24:16:00	00:24:19:00	HAVE ALREADY HAD TOO MUCH TO
00:24:19:00	00:24:19:00	DRINK AND WILL OFFER YOU A

00:24:27:00	00:24:30:00	THINGS AND A MACHINE CANNOT.

00:26:44:00	00:26:47:00	WHAT BOTH THESE MEMBERS I THINK

00:26:48:00	00:26:51:00	THESE ARE SOME OF THE LOWEST
00:26:51:00	00:26:52:00	PAID JOBS IN OUR INDUSTRY IN

00:26:58:00	00:27:01:00	PULLS IN A LOT OF MONEY EVERY
00:27:01:00	00:27:02:00	TIME THERE'S A GAME.
00:27:02:00	00:27:06:00	AND THEN SECONDLY THERE IS A
00:27:06:00	00:27:06:00	TECHNOLOGY ISSUE HERE AND IT'S
00:27:06:00	00:27:07:00	A SAFETY ISSUE AS MUCH AS IT IS
00:27:07:00	00:27:09:00	A WORKPLACE ISSUE.
00:27:09:00	00:27:13:00	IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE AS
00:27:13:00	00:27:13:00	AMANDA JUST VERY ARTICULATELY
00:27:13:00	00:27:17:00	LAID OUT THE THESE MACHINES ARE
00:27:17:00	00:27:17:00	NOT STAFFED APPROPRIATELY AND
00:27:17:00	00:27:20:00	THEY ARE STAFFED IN SUCH A WAY
00:27:20:00	00:27:21:00	WHERE INDIVIDUALS WHO SHOULD
00:27:21:00	00:27:21:00	NOT BE GETTING ALCOHOL HAVE
00:27:21:00	00:27:24:00	ACCESS TO ALCOHOL.
00:27:24:00	00:27:25:00	THESE ARE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEMS.
00:27:25:00	00:27:29:00	WE HAVE REPEATED LEE PUT THIS

00:27:36:00	00:27:39:00	NOT REACHED A RESOLUTION.
00:27:39:00	00:27:40:00	WE ARE STILL FAR FROM A
00:27:40:00	00:27:40:00	RESOLUTION.
00:27:40:00	00:27:43:00	WE ARE OBVIOUSLY ALWAYS WILLING
00:27:43:00	00:27:43:00	TO CONTINUE TO BARGAIN BUT I
00:27:43:00	00:27:47:00	CAN BE VERY FIRM HERE IN SAYING

00:44:01:00	00:44:05:00	YEAR AS A REPORT STATES THE
00:44:05:00	00:44:05:00	COMMITTEE HELD TWO WORKING
00:44:05:00	00:44:08:00	SESSIONS ONE ON FEBRUARY 10TH
00:44:08:00	00:44:11:00	2025 AND THE OTHER ON APRIL 11,
00:44:11:00	00:44:11:00	2025 WHERE THE ADMINISTRATION
00:44:11:00	00:44:14:00	EXPRESSED SUPPORT FOR THE
00:44:14:00	00:44:15:00	ORDINANCE BUT PROPOSED A FEW
00:44:15:00	00:44:15:00	CHANGES TO ADDRESS QUESTIONS
00:44:15:00	00:44:18:00	FROM OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS AND
00:44:18:00	00:44:18:00	MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES.
00:44:18:00	00:44:22:00	WE HAVE ALSO WORKED WITH THE
00:44:22:00	00:44:22:00	LEGAL DEPARTMENT AND THE
00:44:22:00	00:44:26:00	GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS CHAIR
00:44:26:00	00:44:26:00	RESULTING IN THE WORKER
00:44:26:00	00:44:27:00	PROTECTION ORDINANCE THAT YOU
00:44:27:00	00:44:29:00	SEE BEFORE YOU TODAY.
00:44:29:00	00:44:30:00	THE CHANGES I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT
00:44:30:00	00:44:33:00	ARE THE REMOVAL OF SPECIFIC
00:44:33:00	00:44:34:00	REQUIREMENTS THAT WILL NOW
00:44:34:00	00:44:34:00	ALLOW THE OFFICE OF LABOR
00:44:34:00	00:44:37:00	COMPLIANCE MORE DISCRETION WHEN
00:44:37:00	00:44:37:00	DEVELOPING HEAT ILLNESS
00:44:37:00	00:44:38:00	PREVENTION PLANS FOR DIFFERENT
00:44:38:00	00:44:41:00	TYPES OF WORKSITES.
00:44:41:00	00:44:41:00	ALL HEAT ILLNESS PREVENTION
00:44:41:00	00:44:44:00	PLANS WOULD STILL BE REQUIRED
00:44:44:00	00:44:45:00	TO ALLOW FOR APPROPRIATE
00:44:45:00	00:44:45:00	OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHADE WATER
00:44:45:00	00:44:48:00	AND REST.
00:44:48:00	00:44:49:00	BUT THESE PLANS CAN NOW BE
00:44:49:00	00:44:49:00	BETTER TAILORED FOR SPECIFIC
00:44:49:00	00:44:49:00	TASKS.
00:44:49:00	00:44:52:00	IN ADDITION THE ORDINANCE NOW
00:44:52:00	00:44:53:00	INCLUDES QUOTE SUBJECT TO
00:44:53:00	00:44:56:00	UNQUOTE LANGUAGE THAT MAKES
00:44:56:00	00:44:56:00	CLEAR THAT THE COLLECT THAT
00:44:56:00	00:44:56:00	COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
00:44:56:00	00:45:00:00	AGREEMENTS TAKE PRECEDENCE
00:45:00:00	00:45:00:00	WHERE THEY ADDRESS THE ISSUE
00:45:00:00	00:45:01:00	OF HEAT ILLNESS PREVENTION FOR
00:45:01:00	00:45:03:00	THEIR WORKERS.
00:45:03:00	00:45:04:00	ONE SPECIFIC QUESTION THAT WE
00:45:04:00	00:45:05:00	LOOKED AT WAS ASKED BY
00:45:05:00	00:45:05:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN ABOUT THE
00:45:05:00	00:45:08:00	IMPACT THE ORDINANCE WOULD HAVE
00:45:08:00	00:45:08:00	ON POLICE DETAILS I DISCUSSED
00:45:08:00	00:45:11:00	THIS WITH THE ADMINISTRATION
00:45:11:00	00:45:12:00	AND THE OFFICE OF LABOR
00:45:12:00	00:45:13:00	COMPLIANCE AND AS WRITTEN THE
00:45:13:00	00:45:15:00	ORDINANCE WOULD ALLOW POLICE
00:45:15:00	00:45:16:00	UNIONS TO NEGOTIATE THE TERMS
00:45:16:00	00:45:16:00	OF A HEAT HEAT ILLNESS
00:45:16:00	00:45:19:00	PREVENTION PLAN USING INPUT
00:45:19:00	00:45:20:00	FROM THE OFFICE OF LABOR
00:45:20:00	00:45:20:00	COMPLIANCE WHILE CIVILIAN
00:45:20:00	00:45:24:00	DETAILS WILL BENEFIT FROM THE
00:45:24:00	00:45:24:00	FROM THE HEAT ILLNESS
00:45:24:00	00:45:25:00	PREVENTION PLAN WORKED OUT
00:45:25:00	00:45:27:00	BETWEEN THE OFFICE OF LABOR
00:45:27:00	00:45:28:00	COMPLIANCE AND ALL THE
00:45:28:00	00:45:28:00	STAKEHOLDERS TO ENSURE THAT
00:45:28:00	00:45:31:00	THESE WORKERS RECEIVE
00:45:31:00	00:45:32:00	REASONABLE PROTECTIONS DURING
00:45:32:00	00:45:34:00	HEAT EMERGENCIES.
00:45:34:00	00:45:35:00	ALL THAT WILL BE WORKED OUT
00:45:35:00	00:45:39:00	OVER TIME AND WITH DISCUSSION.
00:45:39:00	00:45:39:00	LASTLY, THIS VERSION OF THE
00:45:39:00	00:45:43:00	ORDINANCE SPECIFY IS THAT THIS
00:45:43:00	00:45:44:00	WILL TAKE EFFECT SIX MONTHS
00:45:44:00	00:45:46:00	AFTER PASSAGE WHICH HOPING WE
00:45:46:00	00:45:50:00	CAN PASS THIS TODAY WOULD ALLOW
00:45:50:00	00:45:50:00	FOR THE CITY AND WORKER
00:45:50:00	00:45:51:00	REPRESENTATIVES TO HAVE THEIR
00:45:51:00	00:45:54:00	PLANS IN PLACE FOR SUMMER 2026.
00:45:54:00	00:45:57:00	I BELIEVE THE CHANGES TO
00:45:57:00	00:45:58:00	ORDINANCE WILL SERVE TO
00:45:58:00	00:45:58:00	INCREASE WORKER SAFETY IN
00:45:58:00	00:46:01:00	BOSTON BY ALLOWING FOR BETTER
00:46:01:00	00:46:02:00	TAILORED WORKER PROTECTIONS TO
00:46:02:00	00:46:02:00	BE DEVELOPED AND BY GIVING
00:46:02:00	00:46:05:00	UNIONIZED WORKERS THE ABILITY
00:46:05:00	00:46:06:00	TO BARGAIN FOR THESE
00:46:06:00	00:46:06:00	PROTECTIONS KNOWING THEIR
00:46:06:00	00:46:09:00	AGREEMENTS WILL BE FOLLOWED.
00:46:09:00	00:46:10:00	DESPITE WHAT WE MIGHT HEAR FROM
00:46:10:00	00:46:11:00	THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION,
00:46:11:00	00:46:13:00	CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL AND THE
00:46:13:00	00:46:14:00	IMPACT ON BOSTON'S WORKERS IS
00:46:14:00	00:46:14:00	ALREADY BEING FELT.
00:46:14:00	00:46:17:00	THE MAYOR HAS LED ON THIS ISSUE
00:46:17:00	00:46:18:00	LOOKING TO INCREASE OUR HEAT
00:46:18:00	00:46:20:00	RESILIENCE.
00:46:20:00	00:46:21:00	THE MAYOR'S OFFICE HAS
00:46:21:00	00:46:21:00	HIGHLIGHTED THAT COASTAL WATERS
00:46:21:00	00:46:25:00	IN NEW ENGLAND ARE WARMING UP
00:46:25:00	00:46:25:00	FASTER THAN MOST OTHER OCEANS
00:46:25:00	00:46:28:00	AROUND THE WORLD WITH SIMILAR
00:46:28:00	00:46:31:00	WARMING IN OUR AIR HERE IN
00:46:31:00	00:46:32:00	BOSTON AS THE MAYOR'S TEAM
00:46:32:00	00:46:35:00	FOUND EVEN IF MAJOR ACTION IS
00:46:35:00	00:46:36:00	TAKEN TO REDUCE EMISSIONS WHICH
00:46:36:00	00:46:37:00	WE KNOW THE OPPOSITE IS
00:46:37:00	00:46:39:00	HAPPENING THE NUMBER OF DAYS IN
00:46:39:00	00:46:40:00	BOSTON OVER 90 DEGREES WILL
00:46:40:00	00:46:43:00	INCREASE FROM A HISTORICAL
00:46:43:00	00:46:44:00	AVERAGE OF TEN DAYS PER YEAR TO
00:46:44:00	00:46:46:00	AS MANY AS 46 DAYS PER YEAR BY
00:46:46:00	00:46:46:00	THE 2070S.
00:46:46:00	00:46:50:00	MOREOVER, NEARLY ALL OF BOSTON
00:46:50:00	00:46:50:00	IS A HEAT ISLAND.
00:46:50:00	00:46:51:00	EXTREME HEAT IS PARTICULARLY
00:46:51:00	00:46:54:00	HARMFUL TO WORKERS OUTSIDE
00:46:54:00	00:46:54:00	CONSTRUCTION WORKERS, FOR
00:46:54:00	00:46:55:00	EXAMPLE, ARE FORCED TO WORK
00:46:55:00	00:46:58:00	OUTSIDE IN THE HOTTEST PARTS
00:46:58:00	00:46:58:00	OF THE DAY OFTEN WEARING
00:46:58:00	00:47:01:00	PROTECTIVE GEAR ACROSS THE
00:47:01:00	00:47:01:00	COUNTRY.
00:47:01:00	00:47:02:00	HEAT RELATED ILLNESS IS THE
00:47:02:00	00:47:02:00	LEADING CAUSE OF WEATHER
00:47:02:00	00:47:05:00	RELATED DEATH FOR WORKERS.
00:47:05:00	00:47:06:00	MOREOVER, EXPERTS SAY THAT HEAT
00:47:06:00	00:47:09:00	RELATED ILLNESS IS VERY BECAUSE
00:47:09:00	00:47:10:00	IT WORKS LIKE A SILENT KILLER
00:47:10:00	00:47:13:00	AND SHORT OF DEATH CAN RESULT
00:47:13:00	00:47:13:00	IN DEBILITATING HEAT STROKE
00:47:13:00	00:47:14:00	CAUSING FOLLOW ON INJURIES FOR
00:47:14:00	00:47:17:00	WORKERS WHO ARE NOT FUNCTIONING
00:47:17:00	00:47:17:00	AT THEIR BEST.
00:47:17:00	00:47:20:00	DESPITE THE SCIENCE THERE IS NO
00:47:20:00	00:47:21:00	NATIONAL STANDARD FOR
00:47:21:00	00:47:21:00	PROTECTING WORKERS FROM THE
00:47:21:00	00:47:24:00	IMPACTS OF EXTREME HEAT.
00:47:24:00	00:47:25:00	EVEN PLACES AS HOT AS DALLAS,
00:47:25:00	00:47:28:00	AUSTIN AND MIAMI HAVE SEEN
00:47:28:00	00:47:28:00	THEIR LOCAL HEAT WORKER
00:47:28:00	00:47:29:00	PROTECTION ORDINANCES STRUCK
00:47:29:00	00:47:32:00	DOWN BY REPUBLICAN LEGISLATURES
00:47:32:00	00:47:32:00	AND GOVERNORS.
00:47:32:00	00:47:33:00	CITIES LIKE PHENIX, ARIZONA
00:47:33:00	00:47:34:00	HAVE PASSED SIMILAR HEAT
00:47:34:00	00:47:36:00	PROTECTION ORDINANCES AND THIS
00:47:36:00	00:47:37:00	IS OUR CHANCE TO JOIN THEM.
00:47:37:00	00:47:40:00	THIS ORDINANCE RECOGNIZES BASIC
00:47:40:00	00:47:40:00	SCIENTIFIC FACTS AND SEEKS TO
00:47:40:00	00:47:43:00	PROTECT THE WORKERS WE RELY ON.
00:47:43:00	00:47:44:00	IN THE SUMMER CITY EMPLOYEES
00:47:44:00	00:47:47:00	WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE
00:47:47:00	00:47:48:00	PROTECTED BY A HEAT ILLNESS
00:47:48:00	00:47:49:00	PREVENTION PLAN SO THAT IN HEAT
00:47:49:00	00:47:51:00	EMERGENCIES OUR CITY WORKERS
00:47:51:00	00:47:52:00	WILL HAVE ADEQUATE ACCESS TO
00:47:52:00	00:47:55:00	SHADE WATER AND REST.
00:47:55:00	00:47:56:00	THIS ORDINANCE HELPS BOSTON TO
00:47:56:00	00:47:56:00	BECOME A MODEL EMPLOYER IN THE
00:47:56:00	00:47:59:00	REGION AND ENSURES THAT BOSTON
00:47:59:00	00:47:59:00	WILL CONTINUE TO BE A PLACE
00:47:59:00	00:48:02:00	THAT PUTS WORKERS SAFETY AT THE
00:48:02:00	00:48:03:00	TOP OF OUR DEMANDS FOR
00:48:03:00	00:48:03:00	EMPLOYERS.
00:48:03:00	00:48:06:00	I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH LAW
00:48:06:00	00:48:07:00	SCHOOL PROFESSOR ONCE ABOUT THE
00:48:07:00	00:48:07:00	MINIMUM WAGE.
00:48:07:00	00:48:10:00	I ASKED HIM WHETHER HE THOUGHT
00:48:10:00	00:48:11:00	IT WAS BETTER TO HAVE MORE
00:48:11:00	00:48:11:00	PEOPLE WITH JOBS EVEN IF THEY
00:48:11:00	00:48:13:00	WERE PAID LESS THAN MINIMUM
00:48:13:00	00:48:14:00	WAGE.
00:48:14:00	00:48:14:00	HE TOLD ME TO THINK OF IT AS A
00:48:14:00	00:48:17:00	BUSINESS EFFICIENCY STANDARD IF
00:48:17:00	00:48:18:00	A BUSINESS COULDN'T PAY THE
00:48:18:00	00:48:19:00	MINIMUM WAGE WE DIDN'T WANT
00:48:19:00	00:48:21:00	THEM IN BUSINESS.
00:48:21:00	00:48:22:00	THE SAME GOES FOR WORKPLACE
00:48:22:00	00:48:25:00	SAFETY IF AN EMPLOYER CANNOT
00:48:25:00	00:48:25:00	FIGURE OUT HOW TO PROVIDE
00:48:25:00	00:48:26:00	WORKERS WITH ACCESS TO WATER
00:48:26:00	00:48:29:00	AND SHADE DURING A HEAT WAVE WE
00:48:29:00	00:48:30:00	DON'T WANT THEM DOING BUSINESS
00:48:30:00	00:48:33:00	IN BOSTON.
00:48:33:00	00:48:34:00	THE CITY PUTS OUR WORKERS FIRST
00:48:34:00	00:48:37:00	AND THIS ORDINANCE IS A BIG IN
00:48:37:00	00:48:37:00	THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
00:48:37:00	00:48:38:00	I WANT TO THANK THE CHAIR
00:48:38:00	00:48:40:00	GABRIELA COLETTA ZAPATA STAFF
00:48:40:00	00:48:41:00	COUNCIL, MEGAN CAVANAUGH AND
00:48:41:00	00:48:41:00	THE ADMINISTRATION FOR THEIR
00:48:41:00	00:48:44:00	WORK AND THE FINAL EDITS
00:48:44:00	00:48:45:00	OF THIS ORDINANCE AS THE VICE
00:48:45:00	00:48:48:00	CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE ON
00:48:48:00	00:48:48:00	GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS, I
00:48:48:00	00:48:48:00	RECOMMEND MOVING THE LISTED
00:48:48:00	00:48:51:00	DOCKET FROM THE COMMITTEE TO

01:24:49:00	01:24:49:00	I VOTE BRIEFLY ON THIS.
01:24:49:00	01:24:53:00	YOU KNOW, I THINK LIKE MANY
01:24:53:00	01:24:53:00	OF MY COLLEAGUES, YOU KNOW,
01:24:53:00	01:24:56:00	THERE'S SORT OF A SLIDING SCALE
01:24:56:00	01:24:57:00	BETWEEN PUBLIC SAFETY AND CIVIL
01:24:57:00	01:24:57:00	LIBERTIES.
01:24:57:00	01:24:58:00	NONE OF US WANT TO SEE CIVIL
01:24:58:00	01:25:00:00	LIBERTIES, YOU KNOW, TRAMPLED
01:25:00:00	01:25:01:00	ON.
01:25:01:00	01:25:01:00	BUT WHERE THERE'S A GREAT
01:25:01:00	01:25:05:00	PUBLIC SAFETY BENEFIT, YOU
01:25:05:00	01:25:06:00	KNOW, I THINK WE I AT LEAST I
01:25:06:00	01:25:08:00	WOULD BE WILLING TO TOLERATE
01:25:08:00	01:25:09:00	MORE OF A, YOU KNOW, SORT
01:25:09:00	01:25:12:00	OF INFRINGEMENT ON CIVIL
01:25:12:00	01:25:12:00	LIBERTIES AND WHERE THERE ISN'T
01:25:12:00	01:25:15:00	I WOULD BE LESS WILLING TO
01:25:15:00	01:25:15:00	ACCEPT IT HERE.
01:25:15:00	01:25:19:00	YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT LIKE THREE
01:25:19:00	01:25:19:00	MAIN CONCERNS WITH THE SOCIAL
01:25:19:00	01:25:23:00	MEDIA MONITORING TECHNOLOGY IS
01:25:23:00	01:25:23:00	ONE IS THIS USE OF EXIGENT
01:25:23:00	01:25:24:00	CIRCUMSTANCES.
01:25:24:00	01:25:27:00	THE ORDINANCE SAYS THAT YOU'RE
01:25:27:00	01:25:28:00	ONLY SUPPOSED TO USE EXIGENT
01:25:28:00	01:25:31:00	CIRCUMSTANCES AS AN EXCUSE NOT
01:25:31:00	01:25:33:00	TO COME TO THE COUNCILOR FIRST
01:25:33:00	01:25:34:00	SEEKING PERMISSION WHEN IT
01:25:34:00	01:25:34:00	WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE TO
01:25:34:00	01:25:37:00	OBTAIN A WARRANT HERE IT SEEMS
01:25:37:00	01:25:38:00	LIKE THEY'RE SAYING EXIGENT
01:25:38:00	01:25:41:00	CIRCUMSTANCES EXIST BECAUSE OF,
01:25:41:00	01:25:42:00	YOU KNOW, SORT OF VAGUE THREATS
01:25:42:00	01:25:45:00	DURING AN ELECTION SEASON AND
01:25:45:00	01:25:49:00	MAY CONTINUE FOR IN PERPETUITY
01:25:49:00	01:25:49:00	.
01:25:49:00	01:25:50:00	SO I'M I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HOW
01:25:50:00	01:25:50:00	THAT IS BEING USED.
01:25:50:00	01:25:52:00	WE'VE SEEN HOW THE TRUMP
01:25:52:00	01:25:53:00	ADMINISTRATION HAS SIMPLY
01:25:53:00	01:25:54:00	DECLARED THAT THERE'S AN
01:25:54:00	01:25:56:00	INVASION OR THAT THEIR LAWS
01:25:56:00	01:25:57:00	AREN'T BEING FOLLOWED AS AN
01:25:57:00	01:26:00:00	EXCUSE TO SEND IN THE NATIONAL
01:26:00:00	01:26:01:00	GUARD.
01:26:01:00	01:26:01:00	YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE THERE NEEDS
01:26:01:00	01:26:03:00	TO BE SOME REVIEW OF THAT
01:26:03:00	01:26:04:00	DECISION WHICH APPARENTLY IS
01:26:04:00	01:26:08:00	YOU KNOW, IF THAT'S IF THEY'RE
01:26:08:00	01:26:08:00	CORRECT THAT THEY NEVER HAVE TO
01:26:08:00	01:26:09:00	SEEK PERMISSION BEFORE
01:26:09:00	01:26:11:00	OBTAINING NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO.
01:26:11:00	01:26:12:00	I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE USE
01:26:12:00	01:26:15:00	OF SOCIAL MEDIA TECHNOLOGY.
01:26:15:00	01:26:16:00	THE EXPERTS SAY THAT THIS IS
01:26:16:00	01:26:19:00	IT'S NOT DOES NOT PROVIDE A
01:26:19:00	01:26:20:00	GREAT SOCIAL PUBLIC SAFETY
01:26:20:00	01:26:22:00	BENEFIT.
01:26:22:00	01:26:23:00	IT'S USED TO MONITOR SPEECH.
01:26:23:00	01:26:26:00	WE'VE SEEN HOW YOU KNOW, CANARY
01:26:26:00	01:26:26:00	MISSION AND THE FEDERAL
01:26:26:00	01:26:27:00	GOVERNMENT HAVE AGGREGATED
01:26:27:00	01:26:30:00	SOCIAL MEDIA DATA TO PULL
01:26:30:00	01:26:31:00	DETAIN PEOPLE RIGHT OFF OF OUR
01:26:31:00	01:26:34:00	STREETS.
01:26:34:00	01:26:34:00	IN ADDITION, YOU KNOW, THE
01:26:34:00	01:26:38:00	SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES
01:26:38:00	01:26:39:00	THEMSELVES HAVE TALKED ABOUT
01:26:39:00	01:26:42:00	HOW THEY THEY RADICAL SPEECH ON
01:26:42:00	01:26:45:00	THEIR PLATFORMS IS PART
01:26:45:00	01:26:45:00	OF THEIR BUSINESS MODEL.
01:26:45:00	01:26:46:00	SO IF THEY'RE ENCOURAGING MORE
01:26:46:00	01:26:50:00	RADICAL SPEECH, I THINK IT'S
01:26:50:00	01:26:53:00	LESS LIKELY THAT THIS WILL BE,
01:26:53:00	01:26:54:00	YOU KNOW, IN IMPACT PUBLIC
01:26:54:00	01:26:54:00	SAFETY WHERE THEY'RE THEY'RE
01:26:54:00	01:26:57:00	ACTUALLY ENCOURAGING PEOPLE WHO
01:26:57:00	01:26:57:00	MAYBE NOT BE CONSIDERING, YOU
01:26:57:00	01:27:01:00	KNOW, DRASTIC ACTION TO BE
01:27:01:00	01:27:01:00	SPEAKING IN A WAY THAT MIGHT
01:27:01:00	01:27:02:00	MAKE IT SEEM THAT WAY.
01:27:02:00	01:27:03:00	THEY DON'T CONFLATE THE
01:27:03:00	01:27:05:00	BUSINESS MODEL OF THE SOCIAL
01:27:05:00	01:27:05:00	MEDIA COMPANIES WITH ACTUAL
01:27:05:00	01:27:08:00	DANGER TO THE PUBLIC.
01:27:08:00	01:27:12:00	AND THREE, FOR MY CONCERNS AS
01:27:12:00	01:27:13:00	THEY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HERE
01:27:13:00	01:27:13:00	JUST DIDN'T FOLLOW THE

01:27:13:00	01:27:16:00	YOU KNOW.
01:27:16:00	01:27:17:00	THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE
01:27:17:00	01:27:17:00	ACTUALLY EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES
01:27:17:00	01:27:20:00	BEFORE THEY ACQUIRE A
01:27:20:00	01:27:20:00	TECHNOLOGY WITHOUT PERMISSION
01:27:20:00	01:27:21:00	HERE.

01:27:48:00	01:27:48:00	DAYS THEY HAVE TO COME TO US
01:27:48:00	01:27:49:00	FOR PERMISSION.
01:27:49:00	01:27:51:00	THEY DIDN'T DO IT HERE.
01:27:51:00	01:27:52:00	SO WHAT DO WE DO?
01:27:52:00	01:27:54:00	YOU KNOW HERE THE ORDINANCE

01:30:47:00	01:30:51:00	BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE THEY'VE
01:30:51:00	01:30:51:00	BEEN OPERATING AND DOING THIS
01:30:51:00	01:30:55:00	FOR A YEAR AND I HAVE NOT HEARD
01:30:55:00	01:30:55:00	FROM ANY CONSTITUENTS ABOUT
01:30:55:00	01:30:56:00	THEIR SPECIFIC CONCERNS AROUND
01:30:56:00	01:30:59:00	SOCIAL MEDIA MONITORING I WILL
01:30:59:00	01:31:02:00	BE VOTING YES BUT WITH AN
01:31:02:00	01:31:03:00	ASTERISK THAT I THINK THE NEXT
01:31:03:00	01:31:06:00	TIME WE ARE DUE FOR AN APPROVAL
01:31:06:00	01:31:09:00	OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS I'M
01:31:09:00	01:31:10:00	GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR EVERY
01:31:10:00	01:31:11:00	SINGLE BOX FOR THE ORDINANCE TO
01:31:11:00	01:31:14:00	BE CHECKED AND IF THAT IS NOT
01:31:14:00	01:31:15:00	THE CASE I WILL BE VOTING NO ON
01:31:15:00	01:31:18:00	THE NEXT THE NEXT VERSION
01:31:18:00	01:31:18:00	OF THIS.
01:31:18:00	01:31:18:00	SO THANK YOU.
01:31:18:00	01:31:19:00	THANK YOU.
01:31:19:00	01:31:21:00	COUNCILOR DURKAN I THINK IT'S
01:31:21:00	01:31:25:00	REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE AS A
01:31:25:00	01:31:25:00	BODY DON'T RENDER THIS
01:31:25:00	01:31:29:00	ORDINANCE TOOTHLESS AND I HEAR
01:31:29:00	01:31:29:00	COUNCILOR DURKIN'S CONCERNS.
01:31:29:00	01:31:32:00	I WANT TO THANK COUNCILOR WEBER
01:31:32:00	01:31:33:00	FOR HIS COMMENTS.
01:31:33:00	01:31:34:00	WE DO RENDER IT TOOTHLESS IF WE
01:31:34:00	01:31:37:00	DON'T SEND THIS TO THE
01:31:37:00	01:31:37:00	SURVEILLANCE OVERSIGHT ADVISORY
01:31:37:00	01:31:37:00	BOARD.
01:31:37:00	01:31:40:00	I THINK IT'S INCREDIBLY
01:31:40:00	01:31:40:00	IMPORTANT THAT WE ARE USING THE
01:31:40:00	01:31:44:00	TOOL THAT THEY'RE JUST AT OUR
01:31:44:00	01:31:44:00	DISPOSAL TO ENSURE THE SAFETY
01:31:44:00	01:31:45:00	OF OUR RESIDENTS.
01:31:45:00	01:31:48:00	ONE OF THE THINGS IN BRICK'S
01:31:48:00	01:31:48:00	CIVIL RIGHTS AND CIVIL
01:31:48:00	01:31:51:00	LIBERTIES GUIDELINES THAT ARE
01:31:51:00	01:31:51:00	NOT PRESENT ARE ANY PROTOCOLS
01:31:51:00	01:31:54:00	TO ENSURE THAT THESE TOOLS
01:31:54:00	01:31:55:00	AREN'T USED IN A WAY THAT
01:31:55:00	01:31:58:00	INFRINGES ON ANYONE'S EITHER
01:31:58:00	01:31:59:00	RELIGIOUS RELIGIOUS IDENTITY OR
01:31:59:00	01:32:02:00	FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND
01:32:02:00	01:32:03:00	ESPECIALLY NOW IN THE WORLD
01:32:03:00	01:32:06:00	THAT WE'RE LIVING IN AND WITH
01:32:06:00	01:32:06:00	THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
01:32:06:00	01:32:10:00	I WANT TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT
01:32:10:00	01:32:10:00	THAT.
01:32:10:00	01:32:14:00	I ALSO AGREE WITH WHAT
01:32:14:00	01:32:14:00	COUNCILOR WEBER SAID WE ARE NOT
01:32:14:00	01:32:17:00	THE FINAL SAY RIGHT?
01:32:17:00	01:32:18:00	IT GOES TO THE OVERSIGHT BOARD.
01:32:18:00	01:32:18:00	THEY MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO
01:32:18:00	01:32:21:00	THE MAYOR AND IT CAN COME BACK
01:32:21:00	01:32:22:00	TO US.
01:32:22:00	01:32:25:00	SO AT MOST IT WOULD BE A PAUSE
01:32:25:00	01:32:26:00	ON THE USE OF THIS TECHNOLOGY
01:32:26:00	01:32:29:00	AS WE GET OVER AS WE GET
01:32:29:00	01:32:29:00	INFORMATION FROM THE
01:32:29:00	01:32:29:00	ADMINISTRATION.
01:32:29:00	01:32:33:00	I THINK FOR ME WHAT IS MOST
01:32:33:00	01:32:36:00	TROUBLING IS THAT TIME GAP
01:32:36:00	01:32:37:00	OF THE USE OF IT BEYOND THE
01:32:37:00	01:32:40:00	EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES IS AND IT
01:32:40:00	01:32:41:00	TALKED ABOUT ELECTION SECURITY
01:32:41:00	01:32:44:00	BUT IT WAS GIVEN TO US IN JULY
01:32:44:00	01:32:45:00	AND THIS IS AN ORDINANCE THAT A
01:32:45:00	01:32:49:00	PREVIOUS ITERATION OF THIS BODY
01:32:49:00	01:32:52:00	AND THAT'S WHEN WE SAY THAT
01:32:52:00	01:32:53:00	WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN
01:32:53:00	01:32:54:00	OR WHEN WE SAY THAT PEOPLE HAVE
01:32:54:00	01:32:56:00	CONCERNS ABOUT ABOUT WHAT THE
01:32:56:00	01:32:59:00	LIMITS OF THE BOSTON POLICE
01:32:59:00	01:33:00:00	DEPARTMENT'S AUTHORITY, WE
01:33:00:00	01:33:00:00	ALWAYS POINT TO THIS ORDINANCE.
01:33:00:00	01:33:03:00	WE SAY WE HAVE THIS ORDINANCE
01:33:03:00	01:33:04:00	TO PROTECT US TO ENSURE THAT
01:33:04:00	01:33:07:00	WE'RE FOLLOWING THE LAW AND SO
01:33:07:00	01:33:08:00	WE NEED TO FOLLOW THE LAW AGAIN
01:33:08:00	01:33:10:00	SENDING IT TO THE OVERSIGHT
01:33:10:00	01:33:11:00	BOARD WOULD BE A GOOD STEP FOR
01:33:11:00	01:33:12:00	US TO HEAR THEIR
01:33:12:00	01:33:16:00	RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THAT TO GO
01:33:16:00	01:33:16:00	TO THE MAYOR AND THEN TO COME
01:33:16:00	01:33:17:00	TO US.
01:33:17:00	01:33:19:00	I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE
01:33:19:00	01:33:22:00	TOOLS THEMSELVES PER SAY
01:33:22:00	01:33:23:00	ALTHOUGH I DO THINK THAT WE
01:33:23:00	01:33:26:00	NEED MORE PROTOCOLS AND LAWS
01:33:26:00	01:33:27:00	AROUND HOW TOOLS ARE USED
01:33:27:00	01:33:30:00	BECAUSE TOOLS USED RECKLESSLY
01:33:30:00	01:33:31:00	AS WE CAN SEE CAN BE
01:33:31:00	01:33:34:00	DISCRIMINATORY, CAN BE DEADLY,
01:33:34:00	01:33:34:00	CAN CAN BE VERY HARMFUL.
01:33:34:00	01:33:37:00	AND SO THAT'S WHY I'M A NO VOTE
01:33:37:00	01:33:38:00	ON THIS.
01:33:38:00	01:33:38:00	IT WOULDN'T BE THE FINAL SAY
01:33:38:00	01:33:39:00	BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
01:33:39:00	01:33:42:00	WE SUPPORT OUR ORDINANCES AND
01:33:42:00	01:33:46:00	THAT WE SUPPORT ENFORCING OUR
01:33:46:00	01:33:46:00	ORDINANCES AS WELL.
01:33:46:00	01:33:47:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES COMES FROM
01:33:47:00	01:33:49:00	HERE YOU HAVE FOR THANK YOU
01:33:49:00	01:33:49:00	MADAM PRESIDENT.
01:33:49:00	01:33:52:00	AND AS SOMEONE WHO WAS HERE
01:33:52:00	01:33:53:00	DURING THE PREVIOUS ITERATION
01:33:53:00	01:33:53:00	OF THE BODY AND UNDERSTAND THE
01:33:53:00	01:33:56:00	IMPORTANCE OF OVERSIGHT AND THE
01:33:56:00	01:33:57:00	ORDINANCE THAT WAS APPROVED, I
01:33:57:00	01:34:00:00	THINK THAT WE NEED TO DO A
01:34:00:00	01:34:01:00	BETTER JOB AT UPHOLDING THE
01:34:01:00	01:34:04:00	THINGS THAT WE'VE PASSED AND
01:34:04:00	01:34:08:00	THIS IS A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE
01:34:08:00	01:34:08:00	OF WHY WE ARE FINDING OURSELVES
01:34:08:00	01:34:12:00	IN THESE SORT OF SITUATIONS.
01:34:12:00	01:34:12:00	BUT WE WERE TOLD DURING THE
01:34:12:00	01:34:16:00	HEARING THAT ONE OF THE TOOLS
01:34:16:00	01:34:17:00	TANGLES WAS NOT POWERED BY AI
01:34:17:00	01:34:19:00	BUT WE LOOKED ONLINE AND THE
01:34:19:00	01:34:23:00	WEBSITE SHARED THAT IT DID USE
01:34:23:00	01:34:23:00	AI.
01:34:23:00	01:34:24:00	SO THERE ARE SOME DISCREPANCIES
01:34:24:00	01:34:24:00	REGARDING SOME OF THE ANSWERS
01:34:24:00	01:34:28:00	THAT WE RECEIVED DURING THE
01:34:28:00	01:34:29:00	HEARING AND I THINK IN THE BEST
01:34:29:00	01:34:31:00	INTEREST OF MAKING SURE THAT WE
01:34:31:00	01:34:35:00	CONTINUE TO UTILIZE THE POWER
01:34:35:00	01:34:39:00	OF THIS BODY, I THINK IT'S
01:34:39:00	01:34:40:00	REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO
01:34:40:00	01:34:42:00	DEMONSTRATE COURAGEOUS
01:34:42:00	01:34:43:00	LEADERSHIP IN TIMES LIKE THIS
01:34:43:00	01:34:47:00	AND SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THIS
01:34:47:00	01:34:47:00	WOULD LOOK LIKE.
01:34:47:00	01:34:50:00	YOU KNOW, I WE'RE LOOKING FOR A
01:34:50:00	01:34:53:00	MAYBE A MOTION TO LAY THIS ON
01:34:53:00	01:34:54:00	THE TABLE FOR NOW UNTIL WE CAN
01:34:54:00	01:34:57:00	HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING
01:34:57:00	01:34:58:00	OF SOME OF THE DISCREPANCIES
01:34:58:00	01:35:01:00	THAT WE'RE STILL EXPERIENCING
01:35:01:00	01:35:05:00	AND JUST WANT TO HEAR FROM MY
01:35:05:00	01:35:05:00	COLLEAGUES IF IF THEY HAVE THE
01:35:05:00	01:35:09:00	APPETITE FOR SUCH OR DO WE WANT
01:35:09:00	01:35:10:00	TO JUST PLOW THROUGH LIKE WE DO
01:35:10:00	01:35:13:00	WITH MOST THINGS FOR A VOTE AND
01:35:13:00	01:35:14:00	LET IT PASS?
01:35:14:00	01:35:17:00	SO I'M CURIOUS WHAT YOUR WHAT
01:35:17:00	01:35:18:00	WOULD YOU DETERMINE?
01:35:18:00	01:35:21:00	SO COME TO ME ARE YOU PUTTING
01:35:21:00	01:35:22:00	FORWARD A MOTION TO LAY ON THE
01:35:22:00	01:35:22:00	TABLE?
01:35:22:00	01:35:22:00	YES.
01:35:22:00	01:35:24:00	OKAY.
01:35:24:00	01:35:25:00	THAT IS A MOTION THAT REQUIRES
01:35:25:00	01:35:28:00	A SIMPLE MAJORITY.
01:35:28:00	01:35:31:00	SO IS THAT MOTION TO LAY ON THE
01:35:31:00	01:35:35:00	TABLE THE SECONDED SO WE'RE
01:35:35:00	01:35:36:00	JUST GOING TO VOTE ON IT AND
01:35:36:00	01:35:38:00	ALL OF US GOT UP TO SPEAK JUST
01:35:38:00	01:35:39:00	FOR THEATRICS.
01:35:39:00	01:35:42:00	SO BECAUSE I HEARD THREE KNOWS
01:35:42:00	01:35:45:00	ME YOU AND WEBER ARE OUR LAWS
01:35:45:00	01:35:46:00	IN THIS.
01:35:46:00	01:35:47:00	SO IF WE WANT TO DO OUR DUE
01:35:47:00	01:35:50:00	DILIGENCE RIGHT AND WE WANT TO
01:35:50:00	01:35:54:00	UTILIZE OUR AUTHORITY AS A
01:35:54:00	01:35:54:00	GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY, WE
01:35:54:00	01:35:57:00	HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
01:35:57:00	01:36:00:00	DEMONSTRATE THAT BY GETTING A
01:36:00:00	01:36:01:00	SECOND ON MY MOTION TO LAY ON
01:36:01:00	01:36:02:00	THE TABLE SO THAT WE CAN
01:36:02:00	01:36:05:00	FURTHER EXAMINE THE CONCERNS
01:36:05:00	01:36:06:00	THAT WE HEARD SO ELOQUENTLY
01:36:06:00	01:36:08:00	FROM COUNCILOR WEBER AND
01:36:08:00	01:36:09:00	YOURSELF.
01:36:09:00	01:36:12:00	IS THAT IS THAT MOTION SECONDED
01:36:12:00	01:36:12:00	?
01:36:12:00	01:36:16:00	YOUR SECOND MOTION IS SECONDED
01:36:16:00	01:36:16:00	, YEAH.
01:36:16:00	01:36:20:00	SO NOW NOW WE CAN MOVE TO A
01:36:20:00	01:36:21:00	DISCUSSION AND HAVE A
01:36:21:00	01:36:21:00	DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION TO LAY
01:36:21:00	01:36:24:00	ON THE TABLE.
01:36:24:00	01:36:25:00	I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I
01:36:25:00	01:36:27:00	THINK THAT IS PERMISSIBLE TO
01:36:27:00	01:36:28:00	HAVE THE DISCUSSION ON THE
01:36:28:00	01:36:29:00	MOTION TO LAY ON THE TABLE.
01:36:29:00	01:36:32:00	SO NOW WE CAN HAVE THAT
01:36:32:00	01:36:32:00	DISCUSSION.
01:36:32:00	01:36:32:00	I'LL JUST START OFF BY SAYING
01:36:32:00	01:36:35:00	THAT I THINK THAT THERE IS LIKE
01:36:35:00	01:36:36:00	A THERE'S A TIMING THING FROM
01:36:36:00	01:36:39:00	WHEN THIS WAS FILED WITH THE
01:36:39:00	01:36:40:00	BOSTON CITY COUNCIL.
01:36:40:00	01:36:40:00	IS THAT CORRECT?
01:36:40:00	01:36:42:00	COUNCILOR SANTANA SO LIKE IT
01:36:42:00	01:36:43:00	WAS IT WAS NUMBER ONE, IT WAS
01:36:43:00	01:36:46:00	LATE IT WAS LATE BEYOND IT
01:36:46:00	01:36:46:00	SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
01:36:46:00	01:36:49:00	BUT THEN FROM FILING WITH THE
01:36:49:00	01:36:53:00	COUNCIL I BELIEVE ON JULY SIX
01:36:53:00	01:36:54:00	THERE'S A 60 DAY WINDOW AND SO
01:36:54:00	01:36:57:00	IT JUST IS YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY
01:36:57:00	01:36:58:00	I WAS IN A SECOND BECAUSE WHAT
01:36:58:00	01:37:01:00	I WANT IS IT FINALITY EITHER IT
01:37:01:00	01:37:03:00	WOULD BE TO KICK IT TO THE
01:37:03:00	01:37:04:00	OVERSIGHT BOARD BUT I THINK WE
01:37:04:00	01:37:08:00	ARE UNDER A CLOCK.
01:37:08:00	01:37:09:00	BUT I'LL LET ANYONE ELSE I'LL
01:37:09:00	01:37:09:00	LET OTHER SPEAK.
01:37:09:00	01:37:13:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES UNLESS THE
01:37:13:00	01:37:16:00	CHAIR RECOGNIZES COUNCIL MEMBER
01:37:16:00	01:37:16:00	OKAY.
01:37:16:00	01:37:19:00	THANK YOU AND THANKS TO
01:37:19:00	01:37:20:00	COUNCILWOMAN HERE FOR, YOU
01:37:20:00	01:37:20:00	KNOW, CONTINUING THIS
01:37:20:00	01:37:26:00	DISCUSSION I, I DO I THINK
01:37:26:00	01:37:27:00	WE'RE SUPPOSED TO VOTE.
01:37:27:00	01:37:28:00	I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE EFFECT
01:37:28:00	01:37:30:00	OF THAT IS.
01:37:30:00	01:37:31:00	UM, YOU KNOW IN TERMS OF WE
01:37:31:00	01:37:34:00	HAVE HAD HEARINGS ON THIS I YOU
01:37:34:00	01:37:35:00	KNOW, I THINK WE'VE GOTTEN THE
01:37:35:00	01:37:38:00	INFORMATION IT'S IT'S WHETHER
01:37:38:00	01:37:41:00	AS A BODY WE CAN YOU KNOW MAKE
01:37:41:00	01:37:42:00	A DECISION ON WHETHER ONE KIND
01:37:42:00	01:37:42:00	OF TECHNOLOGY THE OTHER AGAIN
01:37:42:00	01:37:45:00	LIKE I AGREE WITH.
01:37:45:00	01:37:46:00	MADAM PRESIDENT I WOULD LIKE TO
01:37:46:00	01:37:49:00	HEAR FROM THE EXPERTS ON THIS
01:37:49:00	01:37:50:00	AND WE HAVE THAT ABILITY WITH
01:37:50:00	01:37:50:00	THE ORDINANCE.
01:37:50:00	01:37:52:00	MY ONLY QUESTION THAT ISN'T
01:37:52:00	01:37:53:00	ANSWERED IS IS THE ORDINANCE
01:37:53:00	01:37:57:00	DOES NOT SAY THAT IF WE VOTE NO
01:37:57:00	01:38:00:00	THE TECHNOLOGY CAN'T BE USED
01:38:00:00	01:38:03:00	BECAUSE IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE I
01:38:03:00	01:38:04:00	BELIEVE I THINK THE IDEA IS
01:38:04:00	01:38:08:00	THAT IT WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN
01:38:08:00	01:38:09:00	USED BECAUSE THE MOST I THINK I
01:38:09:00	01:38:11:00	DON'T I WON'T SPEAK FOR THE
01:38:11:00	01:38:12:00	DRAFTERS BUT I THINK MOST
01:38:12:00	01:38:13:00	PEOPLE EXPECTED THAT LIKE THE
01:38:13:00	01:38:16:00	RODENT TECHNOLOGY WE WOULD BE
01:38:16:00	01:38:18:00	ASKED PERMISSION FIRST AND IF
01:38:18:00	01:38:19:00	WE VOTED NO THEY WOULDN'T USE
01:38:19:00	01:38:19:00	IT.
01:38:19:00	01:38:21:00	AND IF WE VOTED YES THEY WOULD
01:38:21:00	01:38:22:00	THEN GO AHEAD AND USE IT HERE
01:38:22:00	01:38:23:00	WHETHER USING EXIGENT
01:38:23:00	01:38:26:00	CIRCUMSTANCES TO USE
01:38:26:00	01:38:28:00	TECHNOLOGIES FOR SEVEN EIGHT
01:38:28:00	01:38:29:00	MONTHS BEFORE EVEN TELLING US
01:38:29:00	01:38:33:00	ABOUT IT YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T
01:38:33:00	01:38:33:00	SAY THEY HAVE TO STOP USING IT
01:38:33:00	01:38:36:00	THAT MINUTE IT SAYS IT GOES TO
01:38:36:00	01:38:39:00	THE OVERSIGHT ADVISORY BOARD
01:38:39:00	01:38:43:00	FOR AN OPINION.
01:38:43:00	01:38:47:00	SO YOU KNOW, I, I WOULD IF THAT
01:38:47:00	01:38:47:00	QUESTION NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED
01:38:47:00	01:38:50:00	BEFORE PEOPLE MAKE A DECISION,
01:38:50:00	01:38:51:00	WHAT IS THE ACTUAL IMPACT
01:38:51:00	01:38:51:00	OF VOTING NO TODAY?
01:38:51:00	01:38:55:00	I WOULDN'T MIND SEEING A DELAY
01:38:55:00	01:38:58:00	BUT I THINK YOU KNOW, THE
01:38:58:00	01:38:59:00	ADMINISTRATION IS GOING TO AT
01:38:59:00	01:39:00:00	ITS DISCRETION BE ABLE TO
01:39:00:00	01:39:03:00	DECIDE WHAT IT'S GOING TO DO.
01:39:03:00	01:39:03:00	BUT OUR POWERS TO VOTE YES OR
01:39:03:00	01:39:06:00	NO SEND IT TO THE BOARD OR NOT
01:39:06:00	01:39:06:00	.
01:39:06:00	01:39:07:00	AND SO, YOU KNOW, I'M STILL
01:39:07:00	01:39:10:00	LEANING I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE
01:39:10:00	01:39:10:00	A VOTE.
01:39:10:00	01:39:11:00	I THINK WE'VE HAD THE HEARINGS.
01:39:11:00	01:39:11:00	IT'S TIME TO MOVE FORWARD.
01:39:11:00	01:39:14:00	BUT YOU KNOW, IF IF WE NEEDED
01:39:14:00	01:39:17:00	TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION, WHAT
01:39:17:00	01:39:18:00	WAS THE IMPACT WAS ACTUAL
01:39:18:00	01:39:21:00	CONSEQUENCE OF THE NO VOTE THEN
01:39:21:00	01:39:22:00	YOU KNOW, I'M OPEN TO FURTHER
01:39:22:00	01:39:24:00	CONTINUING THIS.
01:39:24:00	01:39:29:00	THANK YOU CASM HERE YOU'RE
01:39:29:00	01:39:29:00	STILL STANDING ARE YOU LOOKING
01:39:29:00	01:39:32:00	TO YOU'RE LOOKING TO SPEAK AND
01:39:32:00	01:39:33:00	I'M JUST GOING TO GO TO THE TO
01:39:33:00	01:39:36:00	THE OTHERS BECAUSE IT WASN'T
01:39:36:00	01:39:39:00	RESPONSIVE SO BUT I'LL ALSO SAY
01:39:39:00	01:39:40:00	THAT THAT'S PART OF THE PROBLEM
01:39:40:00	01:39:43:00	IS THAT THE ORDINANCE HAS A GAP
01:39:43:00	01:39:46:00	WHERE IT DOESN'T CONTEMPLATE US
01:39:46:00	01:39:47:00	NOT BEEN BEING GIVEN NOTICE
01:39:47:00	01:39:50:00	PRIOR TO THE USE OF THE
01:39:50:00	01:39:51:00	TECHNOLOGY AND THE DURATION
01:39:51:00	01:39:54:00	OF THE TIME THAT WHICH WE
01:39:54:00	01:39:54:00	WEREN'T GIVEN NOTICE.
01:39:54:00	01:39:57:00	AND SO WHEN I'M READING THIS
01:39:57:00	01:39:58:00	AND I BELIEVE THAT IT'S IT'S
01:39:58:00	01:40:01:00	PRUDENT FOR THE OVERSIGHT
01:40:01:00	01:40:02:00	COMMITTEE TO MAKE A
01:40:02:00	01:40:02:00	DETERMINATION FOR THE USAGE
01:40:02:00	01:40:05:00	OF THE TOOLS TO BE PAUSED UNTIL
01:40:05:00	01:40:06:00	SUCH A DETERMINATION IS MADE
01:40:06:00	01:40:06:00	AND THEN TO GIVE A
01:40:06:00	01:40:09:00	RECOMMENDATION TO THE MAYOR AND
01:40:09:00	01:40:10:00	THEN IT RETURNS TO US HERE ON
01:40:10:00	01:40:10:00	THE BODY.
01:40:10:00	01:40:13:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZE THIS

01:40:31:00	01:40:32:00	IF THIS MOTION DID PASS WHAT'S
01:40:32:00	01:40:36:00	WHAT WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP?
01:40:36:00	01:40:37:00	DOES THAT MEAN THAT THERE IS A
01:40:37:00	01:40:39:00	SOME TYPE OF CITY
01:40:39:00	01:40:40:00	COUNCIL HEARING WITH THE POLICE
01:40:40:00	01:40:43:00	TO DISCUSS OUTSTANDING ISSUES

01:41:14:00	01:41:17:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN, I WANT TO MAKE
01:41:17:00	01:41:18:00	SURE YOU SAID IF THIS DOES PASS
01:41:18:00	01:41:20:00	OR IT DOESN'T PASS IT IS
01:41:20:00	01:41:21:00	TALKING ABOUT THE MOTION TO LAY
01:41:21:00	01:41:24:00	ON THE TABLE.
01:41:24:00	01:41:24:00	IF THAT WERE TO PASS WHAT WOULD
01:41:24:00	01:41:27:00	BE THE IMPLICATIONS OF THAT?
01:41:27:00	01:41:31:00	YEAH I I I, I WOULDN'T REALLY
01:41:31:00	01:41:32:00	KNOW IF IT WOULD GO TO MY
01:41:32:00	01:41:35:00	UNDERSTANDING THAT IF IT'S YEAH
01:41:35:00	01:41:36:00	I DON'T KNOW IN TERMS OF THE
01:41:36:00	01:41:39:00	ACTUAL MOTION I HAVEN'T LOOKED
01:41:39:00	01:41:39:00	INTO THAT.
01:41:39:00	01:41:40:00	I KNOW THAT THIS VOTE ON THE
01:41:40:00	01:41:42:00	DOCKET WON'T PASS DOESN'T PASS
01:41:42:00	01:41:43:00	IT WILL GO TO THE OVERSIGHT
01:41:43:00	01:41:45:00	COMMITTEE AS COUNCILOR WEBER
01:41:45:00	01:41:46:00	MENTIONED IN HIS REMARKS
01:41:46:00	01:41:49:00	EARLIER.
01:41:49:00	01:41:49:00	THANK YOU.
01:41:49:00	01:41:53:00	I THINK WE SHOULD PROBABLY TAKE
01:41:53:00	01:41:54:00	A FIVE MINUTE RECESS IF WE CAN
01:41:54:00	01:41:57:00	TO SEE IF WE CAN GET GREATER
01:41:57:00	01:42:00:00	FLAHERTY ON WHAT HAPPENS SHOULD
01:42:00:00	01:42:01:00	THE MOTION TO LAY ON THE TABLE
01:42:01:00	01:42:04:00	BE SUCCESSFUL GIVEN THE TIME
01:42:04:00	01:42:05:00	GIVEN THAT THE TIME AGAIN?
01:42:05:00	01:42:09:00	OKAY, SO LET'S TAKE ABOUT A
01:42:09:00	01:42:10:00	FIVE MINUTE RESOURCE TO SEE IF
01:42:10:00	01:42:11:00	I CAN GET A RESPONSE TO LET
01:42:11:00	01:53:35:00	ME JUST WE ARE IN RECESS AND SO
01:53:35:00	01:53:36:00	THE QUESTION WAS ASKED ABOUT
01:53:36:00	01:53:36:00	WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.
01:53:36:00	01:53:40:00	OKAY, WE ARE WE ARE BACK IN
01:53:40:00	01:53:40:00	SESSION.
01:53:40:00	01:53:43:00	THE QUESTION WAS ASK WHAT WOULD
01:53:43:00	01:53:50:00	HAPPEN IN SIX WE ARE BACK WE
01:53:50:00	01:53:53:00	ARE BACK IN SESSION MY
01:53:53:00	01:53:54:00	COLLEAGUES AND SO I WILL
01:53:54:00	01:53:57:00	EXPLAIN WHEN WE DISCUSSED WITH
01:53:57:00	01:54:01:00	CENTRAL STAFF CONFIRMATION
01:54:01:00	01:54:01:00	ABOUT THE 60 DAYS AND THE
01:54:01:00	01:54:02:00	LANGUAGE IS IN THE ORDINANCE IT
01:54:02:00	01:54:04:00	SAYS THE CITY COUNCIL SHALL
01:54:04:00	01:54:05:00	HAVE 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE
01:54:05:00	01:54:06:00	OF SUBMISSION TO APPROVE OR
01:54:06:00	01:54:08:00	DENY A REQUEST BY MAJORITY VOTE
01:54:08:00	01:54:09:00	FOR THE ACQUISITION OR USE
01:54:09:00	01:54:12:00	OF SURVEILLANCE IF THE CITY
01:54:12:00	01:54:13:00	COUNCIL DOES NOT APPROVE THE
01:54:13:00	01:54:16:00	ACQUISITION OR USE
01:54:16:00	01:54:17:00	OF SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY THE
01:54:17:00	01:54:18:00	REQUEST SHALL BE SENT TO THE
01:54:18:00	01:54:20:00	SURVEILLANCE OVERSIGHT ADVISORY
01:54:20:00	01:54:20:00	BOARD WHO WILL MAKE
01:54:20:00	01:54:24:00	RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE MAYOR SO
01:54:24:00	01:54:24:00	IT REQUIRES AN AFFIRMATIVE
01:54:24:00	01:54:28:00	APPROVAL ON OUR END IN ORDER
01:54:28:00	01:54:29:00	FOR IT TO PASS WITHOUT AN
01:54:29:00	01:54:29:00	AFFIRMATIVE APPROVAL.
01:54:29:00	01:54:32:00	IT IS SENT TO THE OVERSIGHT
01:54:32:00	01:54:32:00	BOARD.
01:54:32:00	01:54:33:00	IT IS DIFFERENT FROM AN
01:54:33:00	01:54:36:00	ORDINANCE THAT AUTOMATIC ONLY
01:54:36:00	01:54:37:00	BECOMES LAW 60 DAYS AFTER SENT
01:54:37:00	01:54:39:00	IT WAS FROM THE MAYOR PURSUANT
01:54:39:00	01:54:40:00	TO THE CHARTER.
01:54:40:00	01:54:44:00	BUT HERE IT WOULD BE SENT TO
01:54:44:00	01:54:44:00	THE OVERSIGHT BOARD SO A MOTION
01:54:44:00	01:54:47:00	TO LAY ON THE TABLE WOULD
01:54:47:00	01:54:48:00	ESSENTIALLY HAVE THE SAME
01:54:48:00	01:54:52:00	EFFECT AS VOTING NO ON THE
01:54:52:00	01:54:58:00	ORDINANCE.
01:54:58:00	01:54:59:00	ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL
01:54:59:00	01:55:02:00	QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS THAT THE
01:55:02:00	01:55:03:00	CHAIR RECOGNIZES COMES FROM
01:55:03:00	01:55:06:00	HERE YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
01:55:06:00	01:55:06:00	THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT.
01:55:06:00	01:55:09:00	SO THAT WE ARE ALL FOR THOSE
01:55:09:00	01:55:10:00	WHO ARE TUNING IN SO THEY WERE
01:55:10:00	01:55:13:00	ALL CLEAR IF THE GOAL IS FOR US
01:55:13:00	01:55:14:00	TO SUPPORT AND HONOR THE
01:55:14:00	01:55:17:00	ADVOCACY OF MY COLLEAGUE TO
01:55:17:00	01:55:21:00	ALLOW THIS PARTICULAR DOCKET TO
01:55:21:00	01:55:25:00	GO TO THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE,
01:55:25:00	01:55:28:00	WE COULD JUST SIMPLY VOTE NO ON
01:55:28:00	01:55:32:00	THE DOCKET AND NO ON THE MOTION
01:55:32:00	01:55:33:00	TO LAY ON THE TABLE ALL OF THAT
01:55:33:00	01:55:34:00	AND IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY
01:55:34:00	01:55:36:00	SUPPORT HIS ADVOCACY.
01:55:36:00	01:55:36:00	YES.
01:55:36:00	01:55:37:00	SO HERE'S THE THING THOUGH A
01:55:37:00	01:55:40:00	MOTION LAY ON THE TABLE MEANS
01:55:40:00	01:55:44:00	THERE'S NO VOTE ON THE ACTUAL
01:55:44:00	01:55:44:00	DOCKET.
01:55:44:00	01:55:48:00	SO WHAT YOU'RE TRYING IT'S
01:55:48:00	01:55:49:00	YOU'RE DOING THE SAME THING.
01:55:49:00	01:55:49:00	OKAY.
01:55:49:00	01:55:50:00	THE MOTION TO LABEL THE MOTION
01:55:50:00	01:55:52:00	TO LAY ON THE TABLE HAVE THE
01:55:52:00	01:55:56:00	SAME EFFECT AS VOTING NO ON THE
01:55:56:00	01:55:56:00	DOCKET.
01:55:56:00	01:55:57:00	BUT IF YOU VOTE IF IF THERE'S A
01:55:57:00	01:55:59:00	VOTE TALLY ON THE TABLE AND
01:55:59:00	01:56:00:00	THAT MOTION OF A SIMPLE
01:56:00:00	01:56:03:00	MAJORITY IS SUCCESSFUL, THEN WE
01:56:03:00	01:56:07:00	DON'T MOVE TO A VOTE THE ACTUAL
01:56:07:00	01:56:08:00	DOCKET AND THEN WE'LL MOVE IT
01:56:08:00	01:56:11:00	ENDS UP IN THE OVERSIGHT WILL
01:56:11:00	01:56:12:00	OKAY SO EITHER WAY IT'LL END UP
01:56:12:00	01:56:15:00	WHAT WE WANT IT TO GO?
01:56:15:00	01:56:18:00	IT DEPENDS A MOTION TO LAY ON
01:56:18:00	01:56:19:00	THE TABLE IF YOU BELIEVE THAT
01:56:19:00	01:56:22:00	YOU WANT TO LAY THIS ON THE
01:56:22:00	01:56:26:00	TABLE FOR WHATEVER PURPOSE YOU
01:56:26:00	01:56:26:00	WOULD VOTE YES IF THERE ARE IF
01:56:26:00	01:56:30:00	THERE'S A MAJORITY OF THE
01:56:30:00	01:56:31:00	MEMBERS PRESENT WHO VOTE YES ON
01:56:31:00	01:56:34:00	THAT THEN IT IS LAID ON THE
01:56:34:00	01:56:37:00	TABLE AND WE DON'T MOVE FORWARD
01:56:37:00	01:56:37:00	.
01:56:37:00	01:56:38:00	BUT IF IT IS NOT SUCCESSFUL
01:56:38:00	01:56:39:00	THEN WE MOVE FORWARD WITH A
01:56:39:00	01:56:42:00	DOCKET AND WE VOTE ON THE
01:56:42:00	01:56:43:00	DOCKET AND THEN IF THE MAJORITY
01:56:43:00	01:56:46:00	OF THE PEOPLE VOTE, IF A
01:56:46:00	01:56:46:00	MAJORITY OF COUNCILORS PRESENT
01:56:46:00	01:56:50:00	VOTE IN OR OUT OF THE DOCKET,
01:56:50:00	01:56:54:00	THEN THE USE OF THE TECHNOLOGY
01:56:54:00	01:56:57:00	FLIP SIDE.
01:56:57:00	01:56:57:00	SO IF BUT IF THE MAJORITY
01:56:57:00	01:57:01:00	OF THOSE PRESENT VOTE NO ON THE
01:57:01:00	01:57:02:00	DOCKET THEN IT IS SENT TO THE
01:57:02:00	01:57:04:00	OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE AND I DO
01:57:04:00	01:57:05:00	APPRECIATE YOU BREAKING THAT
01:57:05:00	01:57:05:00	DOWN.
01:57:05:00	01:57:08:00	I THINK THAT OFTENTIMES MANY

02:02:51:00	02:02:51:00	SEEKS ACCEPTANCE OF THE
02:02:51:00	02:02:55:00	COMMITTEE REPORT AND I JUST

02:02:55:00	02:02:56:00	HAS ANY QUESTIONS.
02:02:56:00	02:02:59:00	SO LET ME JUST STATE THAT OH,
02:02:59:00	02:02:59:00	THERE IS A QUESTION.
02:02:59:00	02:03:00:00	COUNCILOR BRAYTON, YOU HAVE THE
02:03:00:00	02:03:05:00	FLOOR.
02:03:05:00	02:03:09:00	I COME IN HERE WITH AN
02:03:09:00	02:03:10:00	INTENTION TO VOTE FOR THIS BUT
02:03:10:00	02:03:13:00	WITH MY OUR CONVERSATION IN THE
02:03:13:00	02:03:14:00	LAST PERIOD OF TIME I'M
02:03:14:00	02:03:17:00	STARTING TO REEVALUATE MY MY MY
02:03:17:00	02:03:20:00	POSITION.
02:03:20:00	02:03:21:00	I FEEL I THINK THE ISSUE ABOUT
02:03:21:00	02:03:24:00	THE TIME DELAY WAS REALLY
02:03:24:00	02:03:24:00	SIGNIFICANT.
02:03:24:00	02:03:28:00	UM, I TAKE YOUR POINT ABOUT
02:03:28:00	02:03:28:00	HAVING AN ORDINANCE THAT
02:03:28:00	02:03:29:00	DOESN'T HAVE TEETH AND THE
02:03:29:00	02:03:33:00	CONSEQUENCE OF NOT ABIDING BY
02:03:33:00	02:03:33:00	THE ORDINANCE OR THE ORDINANCE
02:03:33:00	02:03:37:00	IT'S ALMOST LIKE WHY DO WE EVEN
02:03:37:00	02:03:37:00	BOTHER HAVING ORDINANCES IF
02:03:37:00	02:03:38:00	WE'RE NOT GOING TO ABIDE BY
02:03:38:00	02:03:44:00	THEM AND YOU KNOW, I THINK THE
02:03:44:00	02:03:48:00	ISSUE OF SENDING IT THE
02:03:48:00	02:03:51:00	OVERSIGHT BOARD IF THERE'S ANY
02:03:51:00	02:03:52:00	DOUBTS ABOUT THE EFFICACY OF A
02:03:52:00	02:03:55:00	OF A OF A TOOL I THINK IS AS
02:03:55:00	02:03:55:00	VALID.
02:03:55:00	02:03:56:00	UM, SO I'M IN A BIT OF A
02:03:56:00	02:03:58:00	QUANDARY AT THE MOMENT.
02:03:58:00	02:04:03:00	I FEEL THAT SENDING IT TO THE
02:04:03:00	02:04:06:00	OVERSIGHT BOARD IS A REASONABLE
02:04:06:00	02:04:09:00	COURSE OF ACTION TO GET THEIR
02:04:09:00	02:04:10:00	ADJUDICATION ON THIS MATTER.
02:04:10:00	02:04:13:00	I ALSO DO APPRECIATE THE VALUE
02:04:13:00	02:04:14:00	OF THESE TOOLS BUT WE HAVE TO
02:04:14:00	02:04:17:00	HAVE PROPER OVERSIGHT AND IF WE
02:04:17:00	02:04:21:00	ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE PROPER
02:04:21:00	02:04:22:00	OVERSIGHT AND COMPLIANCE WITH
02:04:22:00	02:04:23:00	THE ORDINANCE THEN WHY EVEN
02:04:23:00	02:04:24:00	HAVE AN ORDINANCE?
02:04:24:00	02:04:28:00	SO I AM STILL THINKING ABOUT MY
02:04:28:00	02:04:29:00	POSITION ON THIS ONE BUT IT'S
02:04:29:00	02:04:32:00	OF GRAVE CONCERN TO ME THAT
02:04:32:00	02:04:33:00	THERE'S SUCH DISREGARD FOR THE
02:04:33:00	02:04:33:00	ORDINANCE IN THE FIRST PLACE
02:04:33:00	02:04:37:00	AND THAT THAT WE'RE JUST GIVEN
02:04:37:00	02:04:39:00	THE ARE GIVING EVERYONE A PASS
02:04:39:00	02:04:39:00	ON THIS.
02:04:39:00	02:04:44:00	I, I BELIEVE IN IN HAVING TOOLS
02:04:44:00	02:04:48:00	FOR SURVEILLANCE AND OVERSIGHT
02:04:48:00	02:04:48:00	AND AND MONITORING OF THE VERY

02:04:55:00	02:04:56:00	LEVEL, THINGS THAT ARE
02:04:56:00	02:04:59:00	HAPPENING AND IN TARGETING
02:04:59:00	02:05:00:00	OF POLITICIANS FURTHER JUST
02:05:00:00	02:05:01:00	EVEN JUST THEIR PARTY
02:05:01:00	02:05:04:00	AFFILIATION ETC. THIS HORRIBLE
02:05:04:00	02:05:04:00	THINGS HAPPENING.

02:05:07:00	02:05:08:00	MEDIA IS AN IMPORTANT TOOL TO
02:05:08:00	02:05:09:00	HAVE BUT WE ALSO NEED TO HAVE

02:08:31:00	02:08:31:00	JUST ONE MORE QUICK THING.
02:08:31:00	02:08:35:00	I MEAN, I DON'T THINK THIS IS A
02:08:35:00	02:08:38:00	SITUATION WHERE THEY CAN SAY

02:08:42:00	02:08:43:00	BE BETTER ABOUT IN THE FUTURE.
02:08:43:00	02:08:44:00	I THINK WHAT WE HEARD IN THE
02:08:44:00	02:08:46:00	HEARING WAS THAT THEY DO NOT
02:08:46:00	02:08:47:00	THINK THEY NEED TO SEEK OUR
02:08:47:00	02:08:50:00	APPROVAL BECAUSE EXIGENT
02:08:50:00	02:08:51:00	CIRCUMSTANCES IS THIS ENORMOUS
02:08:51:00	02:08:53:00	HOLE THAT THEY CAN, YOU KNOW,

02:09:12:00	02:09:16:00	FUNCTION AND IF IT'S GOING TO
02:09:16:00	02:09:17:00	IT JUST I THINK THE EXPERTS ON
02:09:17:00	02:09:19:00	THE OVERSIGHT ADVISORY BOARD
02:09:19:00	02:09:21:00	CAN WEIGH IN ON THAT IN A WAY
02:09:21:00	02:09:23:00	THAT I THINK WILL BE
02:09:23:00	02:09:24:00	CONSTRUCTIVE GOING FORWARD.

02:09:27:00	02:09:27:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
02:09:27:00	02:09:28:00	COUNCILOR DURKIN,
02:09:28:00	02:09:31:00	COUNCILOR DURKIN, YOU HAVE THE
02:09:31:00	02:09:31:00	FLOOR.
02:09:31:00	02:09:31:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH.
02:09:31:00	02:09:34:00	AND I KNOW SORT OF MY COMMENTS
02:09:34:00	02:09:37:00	TO START WERE SORT OF IN THE
02:09:37:00	02:09:38:00	MIDDLE HERE.
02:09:38:00	02:09:38:00	BUT I ALSO WANT TO BRING
02:09:38:00	02:09:41:00	ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE AS SOMEONE
02:09:41:00	02:09:41:00	WHO HAS SOME OF THE LARGEST
02:09:41:00	02:09:45:00	VENUES IN BOSTON IN MY DISTRICT
02:09:45:00	02:09:46:00	THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE THINGS
02:09:46:00	02:09:50:00	THAT HAVE BEEN STOPPED OR KNOWN
02:09:50:00	02:09:53:00	ABOUT PRIOR TO AND I DON'T WANT
02:09:53:00	02:09:56:00	TO GET INTO THE DETAILS BUT
02:09:56:00	02:09:57:00	HAVE BEEN KNOWN ABOUT PRIOR
02:09:57:00	02:09:57:00	BECAUSE OF SOCIAL MEDIA.
02:09:57:00	02:10:00:00	SO I UNDERSTAND CONCERNS.
02:10:00:00	02:10:01:00	I UNDERSTAND.
02:10:01:00	02:10:04:00	I THINK WE'RE IN A MOMENT WHERE
02:10:04:00	02:10:05:00	CIVIL LIBERTIES ARE BEING
02:10:05:00	02:10:08:00	ATTACKED AT ALL ANGLES AND I
02:10:08:00	02:10:11:00	DON'T THINK HAVING A DIFFERENCE
02:10:11:00	02:10:12:00	OF OPINION ON THIS PARTICULAR
02:10:12:00	02:10:15:00	ISSUE MEANS THAT YOU KNOW, SOME
02:10:15:00	02:10:16:00	PEOPLE ARE FIGHTERS AND SOME
02:10:16:00	02:10:16:00	PEOPLE ARE NOT.
02:10:16:00	02:10:19:00	I THINK WE ALL TAKE OUR JOBS
02:10:19:00	02:10:20:00	VERY SERIOUSLY AND I THINK WHEN
02:10:20:00	02:10:23:00	I AM PRESENTED WITH A LOT
02:10:23:00	02:10:23:00	OF INFORMATION I HAVE TO MAKE
02:10:23:00	02:10:24:00	THE BEST DECISION AND WHAT I
02:10:24:00	02:10:27:00	THINK IS BEST FOR MY
02:10:27:00	02:10:27:00	CONSTITUENTS AND FOR THE CITY
02:10:27:00	02:10:27:00	OF BOSTON.
02:10:27:00	02:10:31:00	AND I DO THINK I I'M I'M NOT
02:10:31:00	02:10:35:00	SAYING THAT THERE'S GOING TO AN
02:10:35:00	02:10:35:00	ADDITIONAL BODY FOR
02:10:35:00	02:10:38:00	CONSIDERATION IS A BAD THING.
02:10:38:00	02:10:39:00	BUT I THINK I'VE MADE THE CALL
02:10:39:00	02:10:43:00	HERE TODAY THAT THIS HAS BEEN
02:10:43:00	02:10:43:00	USED FOR A YEAR.
02:10:43:00	02:10:44:00	I HAVE NOT HEARD SIGNIFICANT
02:10:44:00	02:10:47:00	CONCERNS FROM CONSTITUENT ADS
02:10:47:00	02:10:48:00	AROUND THE USE OF THIS
02:10:48:00	02:10:51:00	TECHNOLOGY AND AS WE APPROACH
02:10:51:00	02:10:54:00	THE 250TH WE APPROACH THESE
02:10:54:00	02:10:54:00	SORT OF BIG EVENTS THAT ARE
02:10:54:00	02:10:57:00	GOING TO NEED A LOT OF CARE AND
02:10:57:00	02:11:01:00	THOUGHTFULNESS AND SECURITY AND
02:11:01:00	02:11:01:00	SAFETY.
02:11:01:00	02:11:04:00	I WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE
02:11:04:00	02:11:05:00	THAT THE BRAC AND BPT HAS THESE
02:11:05:00	02:11:08:00	TOOLS AND I THINK THAT'S A CALL
02:11:08:00	02:11:12:00	I HAVE TO MAKE AS A CITY
02:11:12:00	02:11:12:00	COUNCILOR.
02:11:12:00	02:11:13:00	BUT I UNDERSTAND WE ARE ALL
02:11:13:00	02:11:16:00	APPROACHING THIS WITH A LEVEL
02:11:16:00	02:11:16:00	OF NUANCE THAT IS IMPORTANT AND
02:11:16:00	02:11:19:00	I DO THINK THAT IN FUTURE CASES
02:11:19:00	02:11:23:00	THERE SHOULD BE MORE PROACTIVE
02:11:23:00	02:11:24:00	ITY TO COMPLY WITH THE
02:11:24:00	02:11:24:00	ORDINANCE AND THAT WAS MY
02:11:24:00	02:11:27:00	ADVOCACY DURING THE HEARINGS.
02:11:27:00	02:11:28:00	SO I APPRECIATE ALL OF MY
02:11:28:00	02:11:32:00	COLLEAGUES THOUGHTS, BELIEFS
02:11:32:00	02:11:32:00	AND POSITIONS BUT I THINK I'M
02:11:32:00	02:11:35:00	MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION FOR
02:11:35:00	02:11:35:00	MY CONSTITUENTS TODAY.

02:29:16:00	02:29:17:00	IT IS MY RECOMMENDATION THAT
02:29:17:00	02:29:19:00	THIS DOCKET SHOULD REMAIN IN

02:29:25:00	02:29:27:00	MADAM PRESIDENT, THANK YOU TO

02:29:30:00	02:29:31:00	OFFICE AND HIS TEAM FOR
02:29:31:00	02:29:31:00	EXPEDITING THIS HEARING.
02:29:31:00	02:29:38:00	I'M REALLY EXCITED THAT WE WERE
02:29:38:00	02:29:39:00	ABLE TO APPOINT SOMEONE WHO IS
02:29:39:00	02:29:43:00	DEFINITELY SOMEONE WHO IS WELL
02:29:43:00	02:29:44:00	REGARDED HERE IN THE CITY
02:29:44:00	02:29:44:00	OF BOSTON.
02:29:44:00	02:29:46:00	RACHEL SKERRITT IS GOING TO BE
02:29:46:00	02:29:47:00	A GREAT ADDITION TO THE
02:29:47:00	02:29:50:00	APPOINTED SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
02:29:50:00	02:29:51:00	AND I JUST WANT TO NOTE FOR THE
02:29:51:00	02:29:53:00	RECORD THAT THIS HEARING IS NOT
02:29:53:00	02:29:54:00	ABOUT THE MERITS OF THE
02:29:54:00	02:29:55:00	INDIVIDUALS BUT REALLY MORE
02:29:55:00	02:29:58:00	ABOUT THE PROCESS AND THE
02:29:58:00	02:29:58:00	ADMINISTRATION DESCRIBED THE
02:29:58:00	02:30:01:00	PANEL STRUCTURE SET BY 1991 THE
02:30:01:00	02:30:04:00	STATE LAW CONSISTING OF 13
02:30:04:00	02:30:04:00	MEMBERS, FOUR PANEL
02:30:04:00	02:30:05:00	REPRESENTATIVES, A TEACHER, A
02:30:05:00	02:30:09:00	SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR, HIGHER
02:30:09:00	02:30:09:00	EDUCATION AND BUSINESS
02:30:09:00	02:30:10:00	REPRESENTATIVES, A STATE
02:30:10:00	02:30:12:00	COMMISSIONER DESIGNEE AND FOUR
02:30:12:00	02:30:12:00	MAYORAL APPOINTMENTS.
02:30:12:00	02:30:16:00	THEY OUTLINED THE PROCESS
02:30:16:00	02:30:16:00	OF COLLECTING APPLICATIONS,
02:30:16:00	02:30:17:00	INTERVIEWING CANDIDATES,
02:30:17:00	02:30:20:00	FORWARDING 3 TO 5 FINALISTS
02:30:20:00	02:30:21:00	OVER TO THE MAYOR WHO WILL THEN
02:30:21:00	02:30:24:00	MAKE A FINAL APPOINTMENT.
02:30:24:00	02:30:24:00	WHILE MEETINGS ARE SUBJECT TO
02:30:24:00	02:30:28:00	OPEN MEETING LAWS THEY ARE HELD
02:30:28:00	02:30:28:00	VIRTUALLY AND NOT RECORDED AND
02:30:28:00	02:30:32:00	MEETING MINUTES ARE NOT POSTED
02:30:32:00	02:30:32:00	UNTIL THE FOLLOWING MEETING.
02:30:32:00	02:30:35:00	THERE IS A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY
02:30:35:00	02:30:36:00	IN THAT PROCESS.
02:30:36:00	02:30:39:00	DURING THE QUESTIONING IT WAS
02:30:39:00	02:30:39:00	HARD.
02:30:39:00	02:30:40:00	IT WAS CLEAR THAT THERE IS NO
02:30:40:00	02:30:42:00	DEDICATED BUDGET FOR THE
02:30:42:00	02:30:43:00	NOMINATING PANEL.
02:30:43:00	02:30:43:00	MEMBERS SERVE AS VOLUNTEERS.
02:30:43:00	02:30:46:00	THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE MEMBERS DO
02:30:46:00	02:30:49:00	RECEIVE A STIPEND OF 7500
02:30:49:00	02:30:50:00	ANNUALLY SET IN 1991 AND IT HAS
02:30:50:00	02:30:54:00	NOT CHANGED SINCE.
02:30:54:00	02:30:54:00	CHAIR ROBINSON TESTIFIED THAT
02:30:54:00	02:30:57:00	THIS IS THE LOW COMPENSATION
02:30:57:00	02:30:58:00	LIMITS WHO CAN SERVE
02:30:58:00	02:30:58:00	PARTICULARLY WORKING PARENTS
02:30:58:00	02:31:02:00	COMPARED TO INFLATION AND
02:31:02:00	02:31:02:00	STIPENDS WOULD BE CLOSER TO
02:31:02:00	02:31:03:00	18,000.
02:31:03:00	02:31:08:00	I DID MENTION IN MY QUESTIONS
02:31:08:00	02:31:09:00	IN REGARDS TO THEIR OUTREACH
02:31:09:00	02:31:13:00	AND THEIR ABILITY TO HAVE MORE
02:31:13:00	02:31:13:00	PARENT PARTICIPATION AND WHILE
02:31:13:00	02:31:16:00	I DO KNOW THAT WE HAVE MORE
02:31:16:00	02:31:17:00	PARENTS NOW ENGAGED IN THE
02:31:17:00	02:31:20:00	SCHOOL COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS,
02:31:20:00	02:31:20:00	I WANTED TO NOTE FOR THE RECORD
02:31:20:00	02:31:21:00	THAT OFTENTIMES PARENTS WHO ARE
02:31:21:00	02:31:24:00	LOW INCOME DON'T HAVE THE
02:31:24:00	02:31:25:00	LUXURY OR THE PRIVILEGE TO BE
02:31:25:00	02:31:28:00	ABLE TO SERVE.
02:31:28:00	02:31:29:00	AND SO I THINK THERE IS SOME
02:31:29:00	02:31:32:00	MORE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE
02:31:32:00	02:31:33:00	IN TERMS OF HOW WE CAN MAKE IT
02:31:33:00	02:31:34:00	MORE EQUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.
02:31:34:00	02:31:36:00	THE COMMUNITY PANEL ECHOED
02:31:36:00	02:31:36:00	CONCERNS REGARDING TRANSPARENCY
02:31:36:00	02:31:40:00	AND ACCESSIBILITY, CALLING THE
02:31:40:00	02:31:41:00	PROCESS OPAQUE AND DISCONNECTED
02:31:41:00	02:31:44:00	FROM THE PUBLIC.
02:31:44:00	02:31:44:00	LISA GREEN TESTIFIED THAT
02:31:44:00	02:31:47:00	REPRESENTATION ON THE PANEL HAS
02:31:47:00	02:31:47:00	HISTORICALLY BEEN INCONSISTENT
02:31:47:00	02:31:51:00	WITH SEATS LEFT UNFILLED OR
02:31:51:00	02:31:52:00	HELD BY INDIVIDUALS NOT
02:31:52:00	02:31:52:00	CONNECTED TO THEIR
02:31:52:00	02:31:55:00	ORGANIZATIONS AND CALLED FOR A
02:31:55:00	02:31:56:00	STATE AUDIT TO ASSESS WHETHER
02:31:56:00	02:31:59:00	THE PANEL IS OPERATING AS
02:31:59:00	02:31:59:00	INTENDED.
02:31:59:00	02:32:00:00	GREG MAYNARD HIGHLIGHTED THE
02:32:00:00	02:32:04:00	LACK OF ACCESSIBLE PUBLIC
02:32:04:00	02:32:04:00	INFORMATION APPLICATIONS,
02:32:04:00	02:32:07:00	FINALISTS LISTS AND PANEL VOTES
02:32:07:00	02:32:08:00	ARE NOT PUBLISHED AND ARGUED
02:32:08:00	02:32:11:00	THAT THIS FUELS MORE PUBLIC
02:32:11:00	02:32:15:00	MISTRUST AND LORD KNOWS THAT
02:32:15:00	02:32:16:00	WHEN IT COMES TO GOVERNMENT A
02:32:16:00	02:32:16:00	LOT OF FOLKS DON'T TRUST THE
02:32:16:00	02:32:19:00	WAY WE DO BUSINESS.
02:32:19:00	02:32:19:00	OTHERS STRESSED THAT WHILE
02:32:19:00	02:32:22:00	CURRENT MEMBERS MAY BE
02:32:22:00	02:32:23:00	COMMITTED, THE STRUCTURE LEAVES
02:32:23:00	02:32:26:00	TOO MUCH CONTROL WITH THE MAYOR
02:32:26:00	02:32:27:00	WHO APPOINTS BOTH FOUR
02:32:27:00	02:32:28:00	PANELISTS AND ALL SCHOOL
02:32:28:00	02:32:30:00	COMMITTEE MEMBERS INFLUENCING
02:32:30:00	02:32:34:00	OVER THE MAJORITY OF THE FOLKS
02:32:34:00	02:32:35:00	IN THE PROCESS.
02:32:35:00	02:32:35:00	THROUGHOUT THE HEARING I
02:32:35:00	02:32:38:00	EMPHASIZED THAT THIS IS NOT
02:32:38:00	02:32:38:00	ABOUT ANY INDIVIDUAL APPOINTEE.
02:32:38:00	02:32:41:00	WE'RE REALLY HAPPY WITH RACHEL
02:32:41:00	02:32:42:00	STEWART'S APPOINTMENT AND
02:32:42:00	02:32:45:00	CELEBRATED ALL OF THE WORK THAT
02:32:45:00	02:32:46:00	SHE HAS DONE IN ENSURING THAT
02:32:46:00	02:32:48:00	THIS PROCESS FOR US IS REALLY
02:32:48:00	02:32:49:00	ABOUT MAKING SURE IT'S
02:32:49:00	02:32:53:00	TRANSPARENT AND EQUITABLE.
02:32:53:00	02:32:53:00	THE TESTIMONY UNDERSCORED THE
02:32:53:00	02:32:54:00	NEED TO ADDRESS STRUCTURAL
02:32:54:00	02:32:56:00	ISSUES SO THAT BOSTON FAMILIES
02:32:56:00	02:32:57:00	CAN HAVE CONFIDENCE IN HOW
02:32:57:00	02:33:00:00	THOSE GOVERNING THEIR SCHOOLS
02:33:00:00	02:33:00:00	ARE CHOSEN.
02:33:00:00	02:33:01:00	SO I JUST WANT TO THANK AGAIN
02:33:01:00	02:33:04:00	ALL OF THE PANELISTS AND
02:33:04:00	02:33:04:00	COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND THE
02:33:04:00	02:33:07:00	ADMINISTRATION FOR THEIR ACTIVE
02:33:07:00	02:33:11:00	PARTICIPATION AND MY COLLEAGUE
02:33:11:00	02:33:12:00	FOR HOSTING THIS IN A VERY
02:33:12:00	02:33:12:00	SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
02:33:12:00	02:33:15:00	WE WERE UNDER A DIFFERENT
02:33:15:00	02:33:15:00	IMPRESSION.
02:33:15:00	02:33:19:00	I GOT A CALL THE MORNING OF OUR
02:33:19:00	02:33:23:00	HEARING WITH THE NOTICE THAT
02:33:23:00	02:33:24:00	THE MAYOR WAS GOING TO BE

02:33:27:00	02:33:27:00	WHICH I WISH YOU KNOW, AGAIN
02:33:27:00	02:33:31:00	GOING BACK TO HOW WE GET
02:33:31:00	02:33:31:00	INFORMATION.
02:33:31:00	02:33:32:00	IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL TO
02:33:32:00	02:33:35:00	KNOW THAT SOONER NOT THE DAY
02:33:35:00	02:33:35:00	OF THE HEARING.
02:33:35:00	02:33:38:00	AND I JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT WE
02:33:38:00	02:33:39:00	HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB WITH
02:33:39:00	02:33:39:00	OUR COMMUNICATION.
02:33:39:00	02:33:43:00	THANK YOU.
02:33:43:00	02:33:43:00	THANK YOU.
02:33:43:00	02:33:44:00	THE CHAIRMAN HAS COME TO THE
02:33:44:00	02:33:46:00	FLOOR.
02:33:46:00	02:33:46:00	THANK YOU.
02:33:46:00	02:33:47:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
02:33:47:00	02:33:50:00	AND IT WAS AN INFORMATIVE
02:33:50:00	02:33:51:00	HEARING AND I LEARNED A LOT
02:33:51:00	02:33:54:00	FROM MY COLLEAGUES AND
02:33:54:00	02:33:55:00	GOVERNMENT BUT ALSO FROM CHIEF
02:33:55:00	02:33:57:00	ROBINSON AS WELL.
02:33:57:00	02:33:58:00	I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE
02:33:58:00	02:33:59:00	IMPORTANT WORK SHE IS DOING IN
02:33:59:00	02:34:01:00	THE IN THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
02:34:01:00	02:34:01:00	MEMBERS AS WELL.
02:34:01:00	02:34:05:00	I ASK SOME QUESTIONS RELATING
02:34:05:00	02:34:06:00	TO AND AS COUNCILMAN HE HAD
02:34:06:00	02:34:08:00	BROUGHT IT UP.
02:34:08:00	02:34:09:00	THE SALARY OF THE SCHOOL
02:34:09:00	02:34:12:00	COMMITTEE IN MY OPINION IS VERY
02:34:12:00	02:34:13:00	LOW.
02:34:13:00	02:34:17:00	I THINK IT DOES NEED TO WHETHER
02:34:17:00	02:34:18:00	WE AGREE WITH THE SCHOOL
02:34:18:00	02:34:20:00	COMMITTEE AS AN ELECTED BODY OR
02:34:20:00	02:34:27:00	AN APPOINTED I THINK $7,000 IS
02:34:27:00	02:34:27:00	NEEDS TO BE INCREASED
02:34:27:00	02:34:30:00	SIGNIFICANTLY.
02:34:30:00	02:34:31:00	I THINK THAT'S A CRITICAL PART
02:34:31:00	02:34:31:00	OF IT.
02:34:31:00	02:34:34:00	ALSO IN SUPPORTING SCHOOL
02:34:34:00	02:34:38:00	COMMITTEE MEMBERS EVEN THOUGH I
02:34:38:00	02:34:39:00	SUPPORT A ELECTED SCHOOL

02:34:46:00	02:34:49:00	THAT'S SOMETHING I SUPPORT AS
02:34:49:00	02:34:49:00	WELL.
02:34:49:00	02:34:50:00	BUT I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE

02:41:32:00	02:41:34:00	BOSTON COULD LOOK LIKE.
02:41:34:00	02:41:34:00	LAST NIGHT TESTIMONY REMINDED
02:41:34:00	02:41:37:00	US THAT HBCU IS A MORE THAN
02:41:37:00	02:41:37:00	CLASSROOMS.
02:41:37:00	02:41:38:00	THERE ARE SPACES THAT AFFIRM

02:41:57:00	02:42:00:00	THE HBCU EXPERIENCE IS MORE
02:42:00:00	02:42:01:00	THAN JUST A COLLEGE DEGREE.
02:42:01:00	02:42:01:00	YOU MUST ENSURE ANY MODEL THAT

02:42:43:00	02:42:47:00	I LIKED ABOUT IT ESPECIALLY AS
02:42:47:00	02:42:48:00	I GOT TO THE MEETING EARLY AND
02:42:48:00	02:42:50:00	TALKED TO A LOT OF THE PUBLIC
02:42:50:00	02:42:51:00	BEFORE THE MEETING STARTED AND
02:42:51:00	02:42:54:00	I LEARNED A LOT FROM THE PUBLIC
02:42:54:00	02:42:55:00	JUST LISTENING TO THEM AND IT
02:42:55:00	02:42:58:00	WAS REAL FUN EXPERIENCE ABOUT
02:42:58:00	02:42:58:00	HISTORIC BLACK COLLEGES AND
02:42:58:00	02:42:58:00	UNIVERSITIES.
02:42:58:00	02:43:03:00	I AGREE WITH COUNCIL WHERE I
02:43:03:00	02:43:06:00	THINK BOSTON DEFINITELY NEEDS
02:43:06:00	02:43:10:00	SUCH A FACILITY AND IN THE CITY
02:43:10:00	02:43:13:00	I WOULD EVEN RECOMMEND THERE
02:43:13:00	02:43:14:00	MIGHT BE ROOM AT THE FLYNN
02:43:14:00	02:43:17:00	MARINE PARK IN SOUTH BOSTON BUT
02:43:17:00	02:43:18:00	CERTAINLY THERE ARE OTHER GREAT
02:43:18:00	02:43:21:00	OTHER GREAT LOCATIONS AS WELL.
02:43:21:00	02:43:22:00	BUT I DO KNOW IT'S DEFINITELY
02:43:22:00	02:43:22:00	NEEDED.
02:43:22:00	02:43:25:00	IT WOULD BE TREMENDOUS
02:43:25:00	02:43:25:00	EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR
02:43:25:00	02:43:29:00	SO MANY PEOPLE ACROSS
02:43:29:00	02:43:29:00	MASSACHUSETTS REALLY AND ACROSS
02:43:29:00	02:43:33:00	THE COUNTRY.
02:43:33:00	02:43:34:00	SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU
02:43:34:00	02:43:36:00	TO COUNCIL FOR ALL THE BEST
02:43:36:00	02:43:37:00	PART OF THE THE HEARING AS WELL
02:43:37:00	02:43:40:00	IN MY OPINION WAS LISTENING TO
02:43:40:00	02:43:41:00	THE PUBLIC THAT WERE HERE
02:43:41:00	02:43:44:00	PRESENT BUT ALSO THAT TESTIFIED
02:43:44:00	02:43:44:00	VIRTUALLY.
02:43:44:00	02:43:44:00	THEY HAVE GREAT
02:43:44:00	02:43:45:00	RECOMMENDATIONS, GREAT IDEAS.
02:43:45:00	02:43:49:00	AND BRIAN, I THINK IT WAS
02:43:49:00	02:43:49:00	PROBABLY A FOUR HOUR HEARING OR
02:43:49:00	02:43:51:00	THREE THREE AND A HALF HOUR
02:43:51:00	02:43:51:00	HEARING BUT A LOT OF GREAT
02:43:51:00	02:43:52:00	RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE CAN

02:44:14:00	02:44:14:00	AND HAIR SALON OWNERS.

02:44:18:00	02:44:18:00	CONFLICTED.

02:44:22:00	02:44:23:00	KNOW THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO
02:44:23:00	02:44:25:00	HAVE, YOU KNOW, A HISTORICALLY
02:44:25:00	02:44:26:00	BLACK COLLEGE, IT IS NOT GOING
02:44:26:00	02:44:29:00	TO BE IN SOUTH BOSTON.
02:44:29:00	02:44:30:00	WE'RE GOING TO HAVE IT IN
02:44:30:00	02:44:30:00	DORCHESTER, ROXBURY AND

02:44:44:00	02:44:48:00	ABOUT CRADLE TO CAREER AND I
02:44:48:00	02:44:48:00	THINK THAT EVERYTHING THAT YOU

02:44:49:00	02:44:52:00	PRESENT IS DONE WITH
02:44:52:00	02:44:52:00	INTENTIONALITY AND IT ALWAYS
02:44:52:00	02:44:55:00	BUILDS ON EACH OTHER.
02:44:55:00	02:44:56:00	SO I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT
02:44:56:00	02:44:57:00	THE THEME IN YOUR I BELIEVE
02:44:57:00	02:44:59:00	THAT MUST HAVE BEEN YOUR MAIDEN

02:45:45:00	02:45:45:00	GOOD HEARING THAT I DID GO BACK

02:45:52:00	02:45:53:00	LEADERSHIP IN BRINGING THIS
02:45:53:00	02:45:56:00	MATTER FORWARD.
02:45:56:00	02:45:56:00	I BELIEVE THAT BOSTON IS LONG
02:45:56:00	02:46:00:00	OVERDUE FOR AN HBCU PRESENCE IN
02:46:00:00	02:46:00:00	SUCH AN INSTITUTION COULD AND
02:46:00:00	02:46:04:00	WOULD PROVIDE LIFE CHANGING
02:46:04:00	02:46:04:00	OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR STUDENTS
02:46:04:00	02:46:07:00	AND FAMILIES HERE IN BOSTON.
02:46:07:00	02:46:08:00	AT THE SAME TIME, I BELIEVE
02:46:08:00	02:46:10:00	IT'S ESSENTIAL THAT THIS
02:46:10:00	02:46:11:00	CONVERSATION ALSO ADDRESSES THE
02:46:11:00	02:46:14:00	STARK REALITIES FACED BY MANY
02:46:14:00	02:46:15:00	OF OUR BLACK STUDENTS HERE AND
02:46:15:00	02:46:18:00	PARTICULARLY OUR BOYS IN OUR
02:46:18:00	02:46:19:00	BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
02:46:19:00	02:46:22:00	ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT
02:46:22:00	02:46:23:00	DATA, ONLY 21% OF BLACK THIRD
02:46:23:00	02:46:26:00	GRADE STUDENTS ARE READING AT
02:46:26:00	02:46:28:00	GRADE LEVEL WHICH MEANS NEARLY
02:46:28:00	02:46:29:00	80% ARE NOT.
02:46:29:00	02:46:30:00	IF WE ARE TO BUILD AN HBCU
02:46:30:00	02:46:32:00	PRESENCE HERE IN BOSTON, WE
02:46:32:00	02:46:33:00	MUST ENSURE THAT OUR STUDENTS
02:46:33:00	02:46:36:00	NOT JUST BLACK STUDENTS FROM
02:46:36:00	02:46:36:00	OUTSIDE OF BOSTON ESPECIALLY
02:46:36:00	02:46:37:00	THOSE WHO ARE CURRENTLY
02:46:37:00	02:46:40:00	UNDERSERVED ARE PREPARED NOT
02:46:40:00	02:46:41:00	ONLY TO ATTEND BUT TO THRIVE.
02:46:41:00	02:46:44:00	THIS MEANS PROVIDING A STRONG
02:46:44:00	02:46:44:00	EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION
02:46:44:00	02:46:48:00	EQUITABLE RESOURCES IN
02:46:48:00	02:46:48:00	MENTORSHIP SO THAT OUR BLACK
02:46:48:00	02:46:49:00	BOYS AND GIRLS CAN SEE A
02:46:49:00	02:46:52:00	TANGIBLE PATH TO SUCCESS.
02:46:52:00	02:46:52:00	SO LOOKING FORWARD TO
02:46:52:00	02:46:56:00	CONTINUING THIS ADVOCACY AND
02:46:56:00	02:46:56:00	MAKING SURE THAT WE SEE OUR
02:46:56:00	02:46:57:00	STUDENTS IN THIS TYPE
02:46:57:00	02:47:00:00	OF INSTITUTION.
02:47:00:00	02:47:00:00	SO THANK YOU.
02:47:00:00	02:47:00:00	THANK YOU.
02:47:00:00	02:47:05:00	I WAS HAPPY TO CO-SPONSOR THIS
02:47:05:00	02:47:05:00	HEARING SO THANK YOU TO
02:47:05:00	02:47:05:00	COUNCILOR AROUND.
02:47:05:00	02:47:07:00	I THINK THERE WAS GREAT
02:47:07:00	02:47:08:00	TESTIMONY YESTERDAY FROM PEOPLE
02:47:08:00	02:47:11:00	WHO ATTENDED HBCU'S ABOUT
02:47:11:00	02:47:12:00	POTENTIAL STRENGTHS AND
02:47:12:00	02:47:15:00	CHALLENGES ABOUT AN HBCU
02:47:15:00	02:47:16:00	PRESENCE HERE IN BOSTON.
02:47:16:00	02:47:19:00	SO I WANT TO THANK THEM BECAUSE
02:47:19:00	02:47:20:00	THE PUBLIC AND ESPECIALLY THOSE
02:47:20:00	02:47:23:00	WHO ATTENDED HBCUS ARE THE
02:47:23:00	02:47:24:00	EXPERTS ON THIS AND HBCU
02:47:24:00	02:47:24:00	CULTURE.
02:47:24:00	02:47:27:00	I SPENT A LOT OF TIME DOWN AT
02:47:27:00	02:47:27:00	HOWARD AND A LOT OF THESE HBCUS
02:47:27:00	02:47:33:00	WERE FOUNDED BEFORE 1964
02:47:33:00	02:47:34:00	BECAUSE IN PART BLACK KIDS WERE
02:47:34:00	02:47:37:00	NOT ABLE TO GET EDUCATED OR
02:47:37:00	02:47:38:00	COLLEGE DEGREES FROM ELSEWHERE.
02:47:38:00	02:47:41:00	AND SO I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE
02:47:41:00	02:47:41:00	WHO CAME OUT AND OFFERED
02:47:41:00	02:47:42:00	TESTIMONY ON HOW IT COULD WORK
02:47:42:00	02:47:44:00	IN THE CITY OF BOSTON.
02:47:44:00	02:47:45:00	I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE
02:47:45:00	02:47:46:00	PRESIDENT OF RCC WHO IS HERE
02:47:46:00	02:47:49:00	RCC IS A PREDOMINANTLY BLACK
02:47:49:00	02:47:49:00	INSTITUTION AT PVI THAT WE NEED
02:47:49:00	02:47:53:00	TO SUPPORT AND PUT MORE MONEY
02:47:53:00	02:47:53:00	RESOURCES POOR MORE RESOURCES
02:47:53:00	02:47:53:00	INTO.
02:47:53:00	02:47:57:00	I THINK THEY ARE THE EXAMPLE
02:47:57:00	02:47:57:00	THEY ALREADY ARE STARTING WITH
02:47:57:00	02:48:00:00	PILOT PROGRAMS IN PARTNERSHIP
02:48:00:00	02:48:00:00	WITH HBCUS BRINGING THEM HERE

02:48:04:00	02:48:05:00	ALREADY GOING TO HAVE A REALLY
02:48:05:00	02:48:05:00	GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHAT THAT
02:48:05:00	02:48:08:00	LOOKS LIKE.

02:49:18:00	02:49:19:00	YOU KNOW IT'S VERY UNFORTUNATE
02:49:19:00	02:49:19:00	THE PATH THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP
02:49:19:00	02:49:21:00	HAS TAKEN.
02:49:21:00	02:49:22:00	THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS
02:49:22:00	02:49:22:00	THREATENED SEVERAL TIMES TO
02:49:22:00	02:49:23:00	WITHHOLD FEDERAL FUNDS FROM OUR
02:49:23:00	02:49:26:00	CITY BECAUSE WE WILL NOT ALLOW
02:49:26:00	02:49:27:00	WITH THE MASS DEPORTATION AND
02:49:27:00	02:49:29:00	DETENTION OF OUR PEOPLE WITHOUT
02:49:29:00	02:49:30:00	DUE PROCESS.
02:49:30:00	02:49:30:00	THIS ADMINISTRATION IS WILLING
02:49:30:00	02:49:33:00	TO SACRIFICE THE SCIENTIFIC,
02:49:33:00	02:49:34:00	SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC PROGRESS

02:49:34:00	02:49:38:00	ORDER TO EXPAND THIS THEIR
02:49:38:00	02:49:38:00	INHUMANE LAWS.
02:49:38:00	02:49:39:00	WE RECEIVE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS
02:49:39:00	02:49:42:00	OF DOLLARS FROM THE FEDERAL
02:49:42:00	02:49:42:00	GOVERNMENT TO SUPPORT
02:49:42:00	02:49:43:00	EDUCATION, HOUSING, SCIENCE AND
02:49:43:00	02:49:45:00	MOST IMPORTANT COMMUNITIES AND
02:49:45:00	02:49:46:00	MANY OTHER INVALUABLE PROGRAMS.
02:49:46:00	02:49:49:00	UNFORTUNATELY WE MUST TAKE THIS
02:49:49:00	02:49:49:00	THREAT SERIOUSLY AS A
02:49:49:00	02:49:50:00	PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATION HAS
02:49:50:00	02:49:53:00	ALREADY MADE SIGNIFICANT CUTS
02:49:53:00	02:49:53:00	FOR BOTH FEDERAL AND STATE
02:49:53:00	02:49:56:00	PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY
02:49:56:00	02:49:56:00	.
02:49:56:00	02:49:57:00	WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR
02:49:57:00	02:49:58:00	COMMUNITIES COULD BE LOSING
02:49:58:00	02:50:00:00	THAT WE KNOW WHAT CHALLENGES WE
02:50:00:00	02:50:01:00	MAY FACE IN THE UPCOMING YEARS
02:50:01:00	02:50:04:00	AS WELL AS MITIGATE AGAINST
02:50:04:00	02:50:05:00	THIS LOSS OF INVESTMENT.

02:50:05:00	02:50:06:00	HEARING AND LEARNING HOW WE CAN
02:50:06:00	02:50:08:00	WORK ON THIS TO ENSURE THAT OUR
02:50:08:00	02:50:09:00	BUDGET HERE IN THE CITY

02:50:23:00	02:50:23:00	OF THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS I
02:50:23:00	02:50:26:00	GET IN THE COMMUNITY NOW IS IS
02:50:26:00	02:50:30:00	WHAT SERVICES AND FUNDING ARE

02:50:35:00	02:50:38:00	ADMINISTRATION'S ACTIONS.
02:50:38:00	02:50:41:00	AND SO THIS HEARING WAS A WAY
02:50:41:00	02:50:42:00	TO ALLOW US TO HAVE THE

02:57:25:00	02:57:26:00	CALL 911 MAKE THEM IF YOU FEEL
02:57:26:00	02:57:29:00	AS THOUGH YOU'RE
02:57:29:00	02:57:30:00	INCONVENIENCING OR THERE'S IS
02:57:30:00	02:57:32:00	FEELING NOW THAT 311 AND 911
02:57:32:00	02:57:33:00	THESE TWO SYSTEMS CAN'T WORK

02:57:36:00	02:57:36:00	WORKING AGAINST EACH OTHER.
02:57:36:00	02:57:39:00	SO I THINK THE EDUCATION
02:57:39:00	02:57:39:00	OF THIS HEARING AND WILL
02:57:39:00	02:57:43:00	RELIEVE ANY QUESTIONS BECAUSE
02:57:43:00	02:57:44:00	AT THE END OF THE DAY WE WANT
02:57:44:00	02:57:44:00	TO MAKE SURE THAT THE POLICE
02:57:44:00	02:57:45:00	GET THE CALLS AS SOON AS THEY
02:57:45:00	02:57:47:00	CAN AND THAT THE RESIDENTS ARE
02:57:47:00	02:57:50:00	AWARE OF THEIR ABILITY TO CALL
02:57:50:00	02:57:51:00	AND OBVIOUSLY JUST WANT TO
02:57:51:00	02:57:55:00	UPLIFT THE WORK THAT THE THREE
02:57:55:00	02:57:58:00	ONE MAN CALL TAKERS DO ALL THE
02:57:58:00	02:57:58:00	TIME BECAUSE THEY DO QUICKLY AS
02:57:58:00	02:58:02:00	QUICKLY AS THEY CAN TRANSFER
02:58:02:00	02:58:02:00	OVER ANY EMERGENCY CALLS.
02:58:02:00	02:58:03:00	BUT IT WILL BE A GOOD HEARING
02:58:03:00	02:58:06:00	TO DISCUSS THESE TWO SYSTEMS
02:58:06:00	02:58:07:00	THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE ARE

02:59:21:00	02:59:22:00	ORDER TO HOLD A HEARING ON HOW
02:59:22:00	02:59:25:00	THE BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT

02:59:33:00	02:59:33:00	AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE COMMITTEE,
02:59:33:00	02:59:36:00	I BELIEVE THIS CONVERSATION IS
02:59:36:00	02:59:36:00	ESSENTIAL.
02:59:36:00	02:59:37:00	OVER THE PAST MONTH WE'VE HELD

02:59:40:00	02:59:44:00	AND WHILE THOSE DISCUSSIONS
02:59:44:00	02:59:44:00	WERE IMPORTANT, IT BECAME CLEAR
02:59:44:00	02:59:47:00	THAT MANY OF THE QUESTIONS
02:59:47:00	02:59:48:00	RAISED GO BEYOND ANY SINGLE

03:00:03:00	03:00:06:00	COMMUNITY TRUST GO HAND IN
03:00:06:00	03:00:06:00	HAND.
03:00:06:00	03:00:07:00	TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
03:00:07:00	03:00:11:00	ARE NOT AT ODDS WITH EFFECTIVE

03:01:04:00	03:01:04:00	HEARING ORDER FORWARD.

03:01:35:00	03:01:35:00	WE DON'T.
03:01:35:00	03:01:36:00	AND I BELIEVE THERE WAS A
03:01:36:00	03:01:39:00	HEARING THAT I TRIED TO FILE
03:01:39:00	03:01:39:00	SIMILAR TO THIS IN THE PAST AND
03:01:39:00	03:01:40:00	I BELIEVE THERE'S ALREADY A
03:01:40:00	03:01:42:00	HEARING IN COMMITTEE IN REGARDS
03:01:42:00	03:01:43:00	TO THIS.

03:02:05:00	03:02:05:00	COUNCILOR WHO'S YEAH, IT WAS
03:02:05:00	03:02:09:00	YEAH IT ACTUALLY I WASN'T
03:02:09:00	03:02:09:00	INVOLVED BUT COUNCILOR SANTANA
03:02:09:00	03:02:12:00	DID HAVE A HEARING ORDER THAT
03:02:12:00	03:02:13:00	WAS FLAGGED AS IT WAS FILED FOR
03:02:13:00	03:02:13:00	RULE 15.
03:02:13:00	03:02:16:00	SO THERE ARE YES.
03:02:16:00	03:02:17:00	SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT IT
03:02:17:00	03:02:20:00	WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO JUST WANT
03:02:20:00	03:02:20:00	TO BE CLEAR.
03:02:20:00	03:02:21:00	I MEAN IF THERE'S A DOCKET
03:02:21:00	03:02:22:00	NUMBER AND YOU WOULD LIKE US TO
03:02:22:00	03:02:23:00	COMPARE, WE'D BE HAPPY TO DO
03:02:23:00	03:02:23:00	THAT.

03:02:24:00	03:02:25:00	THAT UP BECAUSE THIS MUST HAVE
03:02:25:00	03:02:27:00	PASSED DURING THE THIS MUST
03:02:27:00	03:02:28:00	HAVE BEEN AN OVERSIGHT WHEN WE
03:02:28:00	03:02:31:00	REVIEWED THE AGENDA.
03:02:31:00	03:02:32:00	BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS
03:02:32:00	03:02:35:00	SOMETHING SIMILAR THAT WE TRIED
03:02:35:00	03:02:35:00	AND WE ATTEMPTED TO FILE AND WE
03:02:35:00	03:02:38:00	WERE TOLD THAT WE COULDN'T SO
03:02:38:00	03:02:42:00	LET ME HAVE MY TEAM LOOK THAT
03:02:42:00	03:02:43:00	UP.
03:02:43:00	03:02:44:00	YEAH, AND I'M GOING TO SAY
03:02:44:00	03:02:46:00	SOMETHING I'M HAPPY TO HAVE
03:02:46:00	03:02:46:00	THAT DISCUSSION.
03:02:46:00	03:02:47:00	I ALSO KNOW THAT THE CLERK'S
03:02:47:00	03:02:48:00	OFFICE SOMETIMES IT JUST THE
03:02:48:00	03:02:50:00	NUMBER OF FILINGS HAVE
03:02:50:00	03:02:51:00	INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY AND SO
03:02:51:00	03:02:54:00	FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO CATCH
03:02:54:00	03:02:54:00	EVERY MINUTE RIGHT BEFORE THIS
03:02:54:00	03:02:58:00	MEETING THEY'RE MEMBERS
03:02:58:00	03:02:58:00	OF CENTRAL STAFF AND OF THE

03:03:01:00	03:03:01:00	AREN'T THESE TWO REALLY SIMILAR
03:03:01:00	03:03:04:00	AND SO AGAIN IT IS SOMETIMES
03:03:04:00	03:03:05:00	HARD TO CATCH UNLESS SOMEONE
03:03:05:00	03:03:08:00	ELSE IS FLAGGING IT OR LESS
03:03:08:00	03:03:08:00	IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS BUT THERE
03:03:08:00	03:03:11:00	ARE A LOT OF RULE 15 THINGS
03:03:11:00	03:03:12:00	THAT COULD BE RULE 15 THAT WE
03:03:12:00	03:03:15:00	ALLOW TO COME FORWARD EVEN
03:03:15:00	03:03:16:00	THOUGH THERE ARE OTHERS ON
03:03:16:00	03:03:17:00	CENTRAL STAFF AND IN THE
03:03:17:00	03:03:19:00	CLERK'S OFFICE WE FEEL
03:03:19:00	03:03:19:00	DIFFERENTLY.
03:03:19:00	03:03:20:00	SO WE WILL BE MEETING TO ENSURE
03:03:20:00	03:03:22:00	THAT THERE IS A PART THAT WE

03:06:15:00	03:06:17:00	COUNCILOR DURKIN, YOU HAVE THE
03:06:17:00	03:06:17:00	FLOOR.
03:06:17:00	03:06:18:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH AND THANK YOU
03:06:18:00	03:06:21:00	MADAM PRESIDENT FOR INTRODUCING
03:06:21:00	03:06:21:00	THIS HEARING ORDER.
03:06:21:00	03:06:22:00	I FIRST REALIZED THIS WAS A
03:06:22:00	03:06:25:00	PROBLEM I WAS WALKING HOME LATE
03:06:25:00	03:06:26:00	ONE NIGHT AND I FOUND DISCARDED
03:06:26:00	03:06:29:00	BALLOONS ON THE GROUND OUTSIDE
03:06:29:00	03:06:29:00	OF CONCERT VENUES IN MY
03:06:29:00	03:06:29:00	DISTRICT.
03:06:29:00	03:06:31:00	AT FIRST I WASN'T EVEN SURE
03:06:31:00	03:06:32:00	WHAT THEY WERE WHEN I LOOKED
03:06:32:00	03:06:35:00	INTO IT I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN
03:06:35:00	03:06:36:00	HOW EASY IT IS TO BUY NITRATE
03:06:36:00	03:06:37:00	NITROUS OXIDE IN BOSTON AND
03:06:37:00	03:06:39:00	THAT IT'S BEING SOLD RIGHT OFF
03:06:39:00	03:06:40:00	THE SHELVES IN LARGE CANISTERS
03:06:40:00	03:06:42:00	WITH CATCHY BRANDING AND EVEN
03:06:42:00	03:06:43:00	DIFFERENT FLAVORS.
03:06:43:00	03:06:43:00	THE KIND OF COMMERCIALIZATION
03:06:43:00	03:06:46:00	HAS FUELED THE RISE AND
03:06:46:00	03:06:47:00	RECREATIONAL ABUSE WE'RE SEEING
03:06:47:00	03:06:50:00	THROUGHOUT DISTRICT EIGHT AND
03:06:50:00	03:06:50:00	THROUGHOUT OUR CITY.
03:06:50:00	03:06:53:00	THE INCREASE HAS BEEN MORE
03:06:53:00	03:06:54:00	PRONOUNCED AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE
03:06:54:00	03:06:55:00	16 TO 24 AND THE LITTER
03:06:55:00	03:06:58:00	OF BALLOONS AND CANISTERS HAS
03:06:58:00	03:06:58:00	BECOME A VISIBLE REMINDER
03:06:58:00	03:06:59:00	OF THE HEALTH AND SAFETY RISK
03:06:59:00	03:07:01:00	IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.
03:07:01:00	03:07:02:00	AS CITY COUNCILORS WE HAVE THE
03:07:02:00	03:07:04:00	RESPONSIBILITY NOT ONLY TO
03:07:04:00	03:07:05:00	PROTECT PEOPLE FROM PREVENTABLE
03:07:05:00	03:07:05:00	HARM BUT ALSO TO PRESERVE
03:07:05:00	03:07:09:00	QUALITY OF LIFE IN OUR
03:07:09:00	03:07:09:00	COMMUNITIES FOR DISTRICT EIGHT
03:07:09:00	03:07:10:00	WHICH INCLUDES ENTERTAINMENT
03:07:10:00	03:07:13:00	AREAS LIKE FENWAY AND THE
03:07:13:00	03:07:14:00	GARDEN, IT'S HOME TO MORE THAN
03:07:14:00	03:07:16:00	A DOZEN UNIVERSITIES.
03:07:16:00	03:07:17:00	I JUST SEE THIS ISSUE GETTING
03:07:17:00	03:07:18:00	MORE AND MORE PREVALENT.
03:07:18:00	03:07:21:00	MANY CITIES AND 12 STATES HAVE
03:07:21:00	03:07:21:00	ALREADY MOVED TO BAN
03:07:21:00	03:07:24:00	RECREATIONAL NITROUS OXIDE.
03:07:24:00	03:07:25:00	WE NEED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND
03:07:25:00	03:07:26:00	HOW IS IT HOW IT IS BEING USED
03:07:26:00	03:07:28:00	HERE IN BOSTON?
03:07:28:00	03:07:29:00	WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND WHAT
03:07:29:00	03:07:30:00	ACTIONS WE CAN TAKE TO ADDRESS
03:07:30:00	03:07:31:00	IT?
03:07:31:00	03:07:32:00	WE OWE THAT TO OUR RESIDENTS
03:07:32:00	03:07:36:00	AND I WOULD IMPLORE YOU ALL TO
03:07:36:00	03:07:37:00	JUST KEEP AN EYE ON OUR STREETS
03:07:37:00	03:07:39:00	BECAUSE IF YOU SEE USE BALLOONS
03:07:39:00	03:07:40:00	THAT'S USUALLY WHAT THIS IS AND
03:07:40:00	03:07:43:00	THE PREVALENCE OF OF THIS IS
03:07:43:00	03:07:44:00	REALLY, REALLY ALARMING.
03:07:44:00	03:07:47:00	SO THANK YOU TO THE

03:13:32:00	03:13:32:00	IDENTIFYING CLEVELAND CIRCLE A
03:13:32:00	03:13:36:00	AS AN AREA THAT MANY AVOID

03:14:33:00	03:14:37:00	INTERESTING SITUATIONS IN THE
03:14:37:00	03:14:37:00	CITY OF BOSTON WHERE THE

03:14:55:00	03:14:56:00	EXCUSE THE PROBLEMS AND IT
03:14:56:00	03:14:59:00	MEANS THAT VERY OFTEN THE LOCAL
03:14:59:00	03:15:00:00	RESIDENTS ARE FACED WITH VERY
03:15:00:00	03:15:05:00	ALMOST INTOLERABLE CONDITIONS
03:15:05:00	03:15:06:00	IN THE ROADWAY.
03:15:06:00	03:15:10:00	THERE'S A TWO YEARS AGO I
03:15:10:00	03:15:10:00	VISITED A SENIOR HOUSING
03:15:10:00	03:15:13:00	FACILITY CLOSE BY TO THE
03:15:13:00	03:15:14:00	CLEVELAND CIRCLE AND EVERYONE
03:15:14:00	03:15:17:00	WAS UNANIMOUS CONCERNED ABOUT
03:15:17:00	03:15:18:00	THE STATE OF THE ROADWAY AND WE
03:15:18:00	03:15:21:00	HAD SOME ASSURANCE THAT
03:15:21:00	03:15:22:00	SOMETHING WAS GOING TO BE DONE
03:15:22:00	03:15:22:00	ABOUT IT.
03:15:22:00	03:15:24:00	BUT TWO YEARS LATER I WENT BACK
03:15:24:00	03:15:25:00	AND HAD A FURTHER CONVERSATION
03:15:25:00	03:15:26:00	ABOUT COMMUNITY AND NONE OF THE
03:15:26:00	03:15:29:00	IMPROVEMENTS HAVE HAPPENED.
03:15:29:00	03:15:33:00	SO IN THE IN THE NE IN THE
03:15:33:00	03:15:36:00	ANTICIPATED LONG TERM PLAN WE
03:15:36:00	03:15:40:00	HOPE THAT IT WILL BE EXECUTED
03:15:40:00	03:15:40:00	IN A TIMELY WAY.
03:15:40:00	03:15:41:00	BUT IN THE SHORT TERM WE ALSO
03:15:41:00	03:15:44:00	NEED TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS
03:15:44:00	03:15:45:00	OF THE COMMUNITY FOR SAFE TO BE
03:15:45:00	03:15:47:00	ABLE TO SAFELY USE TREATMENT
03:15:47:00	03:15:47:00	CIRCLES.
03:15:47:00	03:15:48:00	SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE CALLING FOR
03:15:48:00	03:15:52:00	THIS THIS HEARING.

03:16:03:00	03:16:03:00	OF PLANNING DEVELOPMENT AND
03:16:03:00	03:16:04:00	TRANSPORTATION BUT AS SOMEONE
03:16:04:00	03:16:07:00	WHOSE DISTRICT IS FAMILIAR WITH
03:16:07:00	03:16:08:00	THE CHALLENGES OF GRADE
03:16:08:00	03:16:08:00	CROSSINGS ON THE SUBWAY SYSTEM.
03:16:08:00	03:16:11:00	MY DISTRICT INCLUDES PART
03:16:11:00	03:16:12:00	OF THE ELAN BRANCH WHERE
03:16:12:00	03:16:15:00	TRAFFIC LITERALLY DRIVES ON THE
03:16:15:00	03:16:15:00	TRACKS AND PASSENGERS GET OFF
03:16:15:00	03:16:16:00	IN THE STREET.
03:16:16:00	03:16:19:00	THE MTA AND BTI HAVE RECOGNIZED
03:16:19:00	03:16:19:00	THIS ISSUE AND HAVE WORKED
03:16:19:00	03:16:22:00	TOGETHER TO FIND A SOLUTION.
03:16:22:00	03:16:23:00	BUT FOR YEARS WE DIDN'T GET ANY
03:16:23:00	03:16:23:00	UPDATES UNTIL ONLY RECENTLY
03:16:23:00	03:16:26:00	WHEN IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT THEY

03:16:26:00	03:16:27:00	TRANSIT WAY FOR TRAINS AND
03:16:27:00	03:16:29:00	BUSSES.
03:16:29:00	03:16:30:00	IT SHOULDN'T TAKE YEARS FOR
03:16:30:00	03:16:30:00	RESIDENTS TO GET ANSWERS
03:16:30:00	03:16:33:00	BECAUSE THE AGENCIES INVOLVED
03:16:33:00	03:16:34:00	ARE IN A JURISDICTIONAL
03:16:34:00	03:16:34:00	DISPUTE.

03:17:01:00	03:17:02:00	IMPROVEMENTS WE NEED TO MAKE TO
03:17:02:00	03:17:04:00	THE MTA SYSTEM.

03:20:19:00	03:20:22:00	HOWEVER, AN EMERGENCY
03:20:22:00	03:20:22:00	SITUATIONS IT IS CRITICAL TO
03:20:22:00	03:20:26:00	ENSURE RELIABLE COMMUNICATIONS
03:20:26:00	03:20:27:00	BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS IN THE
03:20:27:00	03:20:30:00	EVENT OF EMERGENCY AND SIMILAR
03:20:30:00	03:20:30:00	SITUATIONS MOVING FORWARD.
03:20:30:00	03:20:31:00	I'M NOT GOING TO COMPROMISE ON
03:20:31:00	03:20:34:00	THE SAFETY OF BOSTON POLICE
03:20:34:00	03:20:35:00	OFFICERS OR RESIDENTS OF THE

03:20:38:00	03:20:38:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
03:20:38:00	03:20:39:00	THANK YOU.
03:20:39:00	03:20:39:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
03:20:39:00	03:20:41:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY OF THE FLOOR.
03:20:41:00	03:20:45:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
03:20:45:00	03:20:45:00	AS COUNCILOR FLYNN MENTIONED
03:20:45:00	03:20:49:00	COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK THERE WAS
03:20:49:00	03:20:49:00	SHOOTINGS AND AT THE SAME TIME
03:20:49:00	03:20:52:00	OUR BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENTS
03:20:52:00	03:20:53:00	MAIN RADIO CHANNEL WENT DOWN
03:20:53:00	03:20:54:00	FOR NEARLY 30 MINUTES.
03:20:54:00	03:20:57:00	OUR OFFICERS SHOULD NEVER HAVE
03:20:57:00	03:20:58:00	TO RESPOND TO ACTIVE SHOOTINGS
03:20:58:00	03:21:01:00	WITHOUT RELIABLE COMMUNICATION
03:21:01:00	03:21:01:00	TOOLS.
03:21:01:00	03:21:02:00	JUST LAST MONTH I HELD A
03:21:02:00	03:21:05:00	HEARING ON THE OUTDATED EMS
03:21:05:00	03:21:05:00	PHONE SYSTEM IN THE URGENT NEED
03:21:05:00	03:21:08:00	TO UPGRADE OUR PUBLIC SAFETY
03:21:08:00	03:21:09:00	INFRASTRUCTURE.
03:21:09:00	03:21:11:00	THIS IS NOT JUST A TECHNICAL
03:21:11:00	03:21:12:00	ISSUE IT'S ABOUT PROTECTING THE
03:21:12:00	03:21:15:00	MEN AND WOMEN WHO PROTECT US.
03:21:15:00	03:21:16:00	I FULLY SUPPORT OUR OFFICERS IN
03:21:16:00	03:21:19:00	WHEN CRITICAL TOOLS BREAK DOWN
03:21:19:00	03:21:20:00	WHILE THEY ARE RESPONDING TO
03:21:20:00	03:21:23:00	LIFE AND DEATH SITUATIONS THAT
03:21:23:00	03:21:24:00	CANNOT BE IGNORED.
03:21:24:00	03:21:24:00	I WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD
03:21:24:00	03:21:27:00	LEADERSHIP ACCOUNTABLE WHEN
03:21:27:00	03:21:28:00	SYSTEMS FALL SHORT.
03:21:28:00	03:21:31:00	BOSTON DESERVES OFFICERS WITH
03:21:31:00	03:21:32:00	THE RESOURCES AND SUPPORT THEY
03:21:32:00	03:21:35:00	NEED AND RESIDENTS DESERVE A
03:21:35:00	03:21:35:00	CITY WHERE PUBLIC SAFETY WORKS
03:21:35:00	03:21:36:00	EFFECTIVELY FOR EVERYONE.
03:21:36:00	03:21:39:00	SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS
03:21:39:00	03:21:39:00	HEARING SO WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
03:21:39:00	03:21:43:00	AND FIX ANY CONCERNS AND FIND
03:21:43:00	03:21:44:00	OUT WHAT THE BREAKDOWN WAS.
03:21:44:00	03:21:44:00	SO HOPEFULLY THIS WILL NEVER
03:21:44:00	03:21:47:00	HAPPEN AGAIN.
03:21:47:00	03:21:47:00	THANK YOU.
03:21:47:00	03:21:48:00	THE CHAIR AND I JUST KIND
03:21:48:00	03:21:48:00	OF OPENING UP THE FLOOR.
03:21:48:00	03:21:50:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
03:21:50:00	03:21:51:00	YOU KNOW, I AGREE THAT OUR
03:21:51:00	03:21:54:00	POLICE OFFICERS DESERVE TO HAVE
03:21:54:00	03:21:54:00	UPGRADED TECHNOLOGY AND RADIOS
03:21:54:00	03:21:55:00	THAT WORK.
03:21:55:00	03:21:58:00	BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO BE VERY
03:21:58:00	03:21:59:00	CAREFUL, VERY MINDFUL WITH THE
03:21:59:00	03:22:01:00	LANGUAGE THAT WE'RE USING
03:22:01:00	03:22:02:00	PRESENTING THIS FIRE CORRECTLY.
03:22:02:00	03:22:06:00	IT WAS MENTIONED BY AS WE SAID
03:22:06:00	03:22:06:00	THAT THIS SHOOTING HAPPENED AT
03:22:06:00	03:22:09:00	THE DOMINICAN FESTIVAL.
03:22:09:00	03:22:10:00	IT DID NOT HAPPEN AT THE
03:22:10:00	03:22:10:00	DOMINICAN FESTIVAL.
03:22:10:00	03:22:13:00	IT HAPPENED IN A NEARBY AREA
03:22:13:00	03:22:13:00	OUTSIDE OF THE FESTIVAL.
03:22:13:00	03:22:14:00	THE REASON WHY I TAKE ISSUE
03:22:14:00	03:22:17:00	WITH THAT IS BECAUSE WHEN WE
03:22:17:00	03:22:18:00	CORRELATE THESE TYPE
03:22:18:00	03:22:18:00	OF INCIDENTS WITH A CULTURAL
03:22:18:00	03:22:21:00	FESTIVAL IN OUR CITY, IT
03:22:21:00	03:22:21:00	CREATES THIS PERSONA AND THE
03:22:21:00	03:22:24:00	STICK AND THIS DICTATION THAT
03:22:24:00	03:22:25:00	THESE CULTURAL FESTIVALS LEAD
03:22:25:00	03:22:29:00	TO THESE VIOLENCES AS IT'S BEEN
03:22:29:00	03:22:29:00	TWO YEARS IN A ROW NOW THAT
03:22:29:00	03:22:30:00	THAT HAPPENS WITH ANY TYPE
03:22:30:00	03:22:33:00	OF CULTURAL FEST WHEN THE CITY
03:22:33:00	03:22:33:00	OF BOSTON THIS YEAR'S A
03:22:33:00	03:22:34:00	DOMINICAN FESTIVAL IT COULD BE
03:22:34:00	03:22:36:00	ANY OTHER FESTIVAL THIS ISSUE
03:22:36:00	03:22:37:00	AT THE ST PATRICK'S DAY PARADE
03:22:37:00	03:22:37:00	AT THE AT THE PARADE AND PART
03:22:37:00	03:22:39:00	OF CARNIVAL DOMINICAN PARADE
03:22:39:00	03:22:39:00	DOES IT MATTER WHAT KIND
03:22:39:00	03:22:40:00	OF PARADE?
03:22:40:00	03:22:40:00	WE CANNOT CONTINUE WITH THIS
03:22:40:00	03:22:43:00	RHETORIC THAT THESE INCIDENTS
03:22:43:00	03:22:44:00	HAPPEN IN THIS CULTURAL
03:22:44:00	03:22:44:00	FESTIVAL.
03:22:44:00	03:22:46:00	THE REALITY IS THAT THE PEOPLE
03:22:46:00	03:22:47:00	THAT ORGANIZE THOSE EVENTS ARE
03:22:47:00	03:22:48:00	ACTUALLY DOING A GREAT JOB TO
03:22:48:00	03:22:50:00	BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER TO
03:22:50:00	03:22:51:00	CELEBRATE EACH OTHER'S CULTURE.
03:22:51:00	03:22:54:00	WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
03:22:54:00	03:22:54:00	INTENTION I KNOW THAT THE
03:22:54:00	03:22:55:00	INTENTIONS OF THIS IS A GOOD
03:22:55:00	03:22:57:00	INTENTION TO MAKE SURE THAT
03:22:57:00	03:22:58:00	READERS ARE WORKING.
03:22:58:00	03:22:59:00	BUT TO MAKE THE MESSAGE
03:22:59:00	03:23:02:00	INCORRECT AND THAT THE VIOLENCE
03:23:02:00	03:23:03:00	IN THE SHOOTINGS THAT DON'T
03:23:03:00	03:23:05:00	HAPPEN AT THE DOMINICAN
03:23:05:00	03:23:06:00	FESTIVAL BECAUSE AT THE END
03:23:06:00	03:23:07:00	OF THE DAY PEOPLE THAT ARE HURT
03:23:07:00	03:23:09:00	ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT
03:23:09:00	03:23:10:00	CONTINUE TO BE STIGMATIZED WITH
03:23:10:00	03:23:10:00	A CERTAIN RHETORIC.
03:23:10:00	03:23:11:00	SO WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE
03:23:11:00	03:23:13:00	VIEWS ARE CORRECT NARRATIVE IN
03:23:13:00	03:23:13:00	THE RIGHT SPEECH WHEN WE DO
03:23:13:00	03:23:16:00	THESE THINGS SO THAT WE'RE NOT
03:23:16:00	03:23:17:00	HURTING SOME A GROUP OF PEOPLE
03:23:17:00	03:23:21:00	THAT ARE INNOCENT IN THIS WHILE
03:23:21:00	03:23:21:00	ALSO TRYING TO ACTUALLY DO
03:23:21:00	03:23:24:00	SOMETHING GOOD WITH OF I DON'T
03:23:24:00	03:23:24:00	KNOW JUST IMPROVING OUR
03:23:24:00	03:23:24:00	TECHNOLOGY.
03:23:24:00	03:23:28:00	SO THAT'S ALL I WANT TO SAY.
03:23:28:00	03:23:28:00	JUST MAKE SURE THAT THE
03:23:28:00	03:23:29:00	NARRATIVE THAT IS USED HERE IS
03:23:29:00	03:23:31:00	CORRECT.
03:23:31:00	03:23:32:00	SO THERE IS A POSITIVE OUTCOME
03:23:32:00	03:23:32:00	OUT OF THIS WITHOUT HURTING A
03:23:32:00	03:23:36:00	GROUP OF PEOPLE.
03:23:36:00	03:23:37:00	THANK YOU AND THANK YOU.
03:23:37:00	03:23:39:00	REP AND I 100% AGREE WITH YOU
03:23:39:00	03:23:39:00	WITH THAT INSIGHT AND THE
03:23:39:00	03:23:42:00	PASSION AND THEN NECESSITY FOR
03:23:42:00	03:23:43:00	US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT
03:23:43:00	03:23:46:00	HARMING ANY GROUP OR WE'RE
03:23:46:00	03:23:47:00	TRYING TO DO GOOD WORK.
03:23:47:00	03:23:47:00	SO THANK YOU BECAUSE I KNOW
03:23:47:00	03:23:50:00	THAT YOU PROMOTE AND SUPPORT
03:23:50:00	03:23:50:00	THE DOMINICAN PARADE AND EVER
03:23:50:00	03:23:51:00	PRESENT AND WE'RE JOYOUS AS I
03:23:51:00	03:23:55:00	WAS THIS YEAR AT IT AND REALLY
03:23:55:00	03:23:55:00	APPRECIATE YOUR ADVOCACY.
03:23:55:00	03:23:58:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
03:23:58:00	03:23:59:00	COUNCILOR BRAYTON NEAR THE
03:23:59:00	03:23:59:00	FLOOR.
03:23:59:00	03:24:02:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
03:24:02:00	03:24:03:00	THANK YOU, COUNCILOR FLYNN,
03:24:03:00	03:24:03:00	COUNCILOR MURPHY FOR BRINGING
03:24:03:00	03:24:05:00	THIS UP IN A RECENT
03:24:05:00	03:24:09:00	CONVERSATION WITH MEMBERS
03:24:09:00	03:24:10:00	OF THE EMS WE I APPLAUD THE
03:24:10:00	03:24:16:00	UPGRADING OF THE ENCRYPTION
03:24:16:00	03:24:17:00	SYSTEM FOR THE POLICE
03:24:17:00	03:24:17:00	DEPARTMENT.
03:24:17:00	03:24:20:00	I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT
03:24:20:00	03:24:21:00	DIGITAL UPGRADE THAT'S
03:24:21:00	03:24:24:00	NECESSARY BUT IT'S REALLY
03:24:24:00	03:24:25:00	IMPORTANT THAT ALL OF OUR EMR
03:24:25:00	03:24:28:00	ALL OF OUR EMERGENCY SERVICES
03:24:28:00	03:24:28:00	CAN COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER
03:24:28:00	03:24:29:00	AND IN A CONVERSATION WITH THE
03:24:29:00	03:24:32:00	EMS RECENTLY WE LEARNED THAT
03:24:32:00	03:24:36:00	BECAUSE THE EMR POLICE
03:24:36:00	03:24:37:00	DEPARTMENT DID GO INTO AN
03:24:37:00	03:24:40:00	ENCRYPTION SYSTEM.
03:24:40:00	03:24:43:00	THE EMS DO NOT HAVE THAT.
03:24:43:00	03:24:44:00	THEY CANNOT COMMUNICATE WITH
03:24:44:00	03:24:47:00	EACH OTHER AND I THINK ONE
03:24:47:00	03:24:48:00	OF THE INCIDENTS OR EXAMPLES
03:24:48:00	03:24:51:00	OF CONCERN THAT THEY RAISED
03:24:51:00	03:24:51:00	WERE THAT IF THEY WERE GOING
03:24:51:00	03:24:55:00	INTO A SITUATION THAT POSSIBLY
03:24:55:00	03:24:55:00	WAS AN ACTIVE SHOOTING
03:24:55:00	03:24:59:00	SITUATION TO HELP VICTIMS
03:24:59:00	03:25:02:00	OF VIOLENCE THAT THEY WOULD NOT
03:25:02:00	03:25:03:00	NECESSARILY KNOW BECAUSE THEY
03:25:03:00	03:25:06:00	DON'T ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCESS
03:25:06:00	03:25:07:00	THE COMMUNICATION FROM THE
03:25:07:00	03:25:07:00	POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY
03:25:07:00	03:25:10:00	CANNOT COMMUNICATE WITH EACH
03:25:10:00	03:25:10:00	OTHER.
03:25:10:00	03:25:14:00	SO I MAY BE OVERSIMPLIFYING
03:25:14:00	03:25:14:00	THIS AND THEN MAYBE
03:25:14:00	03:25:18:00	MISREPRESENTING IT BUT I KNOW
03:25:18:00	03:25:19:00	THERE'S A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO
03:25:19:00	03:25:22:00	BE ADDRESSED WITH REGARD TO EMS
03:25:22:00	03:25:22:00	RADIO COMMUNICATION AND THEIR
03:25:22:00	03:25:25:00	ACCESS TO ENCRYPTION DEVICES
03:25:25:00	03:25:28:00	THAT CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THE
03:25:28:00	03:25:29:00	POLICE DEPARTMENT AND HOPEFULLY
03:25:29:00	03:25:33:00	THAT WHEN WE HAVE THIS
03:25:33:00	03:25:33:00	CONVERSATION WE CAN BROADEN IT
03:25:33:00	03:25:34:00	TO PERHAPS INCLUDE
03:25:34:00	03:25:38:00	COMMUNICATION AMONG OUR
03:25:38:00	03:25:38:00	EMERGENCY SERVICES.
03:25:38:00	03:25:38:00	THANK YOU.
03:25:38:00	03:25:38:00	THANK YOU.
03:25:38:00	03:25:41:00	THE CHAIR AND AS IS CUSTOMARY
03:25:41:00	03:25:41:00	ON THE FLOOR.
03:25:41:00	03:25:42:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
03:25:42:00	03:25:44:00	THANK YOU, COUNCILOR PEPEN, I
03:25:44:00	03:25:48:00	KNOW THAT I WAS AT A
03:25:48:00	03:25:49:00	COUNCIL HEARING SEVERAL MONTHS
03:25:49:00	03:25:52:00	BACK GETTING READY FOR THE
03:25:52:00	03:25:52:00	SOUTH BOSTON ST PATRICK'S DAY
03:25:52:00	03:25:53:00	PARADE AND YOU BROUGHT IT UP
03:25:53:00	03:25:56:00	THEN THAT THERE WAS A REFERENCE
03:25:56:00	03:25:57:00	TO THE DOMINICAN PARADE LAST
03:25:57:00	03:26:00:00	YEAR AND THE SHOOTINGS DIDN'T
03:26:00:00	03:26:00:00	HAPPEN AT THAT LOCATION.
03:26:00:00	03:26:03:00	SO I RESPECT IT AND THANK YOU

03:26:52:00	03:26:53:00	I ALSO THINK THAT WE DO HAVE TO
03:26:53:00	03:26:54:00	WORK ALONGSIDE THE ORGANIZERS
03:26:54:00	03:26:56:00	LEADING UP TO IT AND NOT

03:27:26:00	03:27:30:00	BRINGING THIS TO THE CHAMBER.
03:27:30:00	03:27:31:00	I THINK THAT THIS IS A
03:27:31:00	03:27:33:00	RECOMMENDATION FOR BEST
03:27:33:00	03:27:34:00	PRACTICE.
03:27:34:00	03:27:37:00	TAKE IT IF YOU WANT.
03:27:37:00	03:27:40:00	BUT IF YOU DON'T IS THAT WHEN
03:27:40:00	03:27:41:00	WE FILE HEARING ORDERS?
03:27:41:00	03:27:44:00	SOMETIMES WHEN WE REFERENCE
03:27:44:00	03:27:45:00	CERTAIN INCIDENCES LIKE THE
03:27:45:00	03:27:49:00	DOMINICAN FESTIVAL.
03:27:49:00	03:27:50:00	I UNDERSTAND THAT WE DO THAT TO
03:27:50:00	03:27:52:00	PROVIDE SOME CONTEXT BUT I
03:27:52:00	03:27:56:00	THINK JUST TO BE MINDFUL OF I
03:27:56:00	03:27:58:00	WOULD HAVE ADDED ALL THE OTHER
03:27:58:00	03:27:58:00	ONE.
03:27:58:00	03:27:59:00	I WOULD HAVE ADDED YOU KNOW,
03:27:59:00	03:28:00:00	IT'S NOT IT'S NOT EVEN ABOUT
03:28:00:00	03:28:02:00	THAT.
03:28:02:00	03:28:03:00	RIGHT.
03:28:03:00	03:28:03:00	I JUST THINK THAT I JUST THINK
03:28:03:00	03:28:04:00	THAT WE JUST GOT TO GET INTO
03:28:04:00	03:28:07:00	THE HABIT OF A BETTER
03:28:07:00	03:28:10:00	COMMUNICATING THE
03:28:10:00	03:28:11:00	INTENTIONALITY WHAT IS THE
03:28:11:00	03:28:14:00	INTENT BECAUSE OFTENTIMES
03:28:14:00	03:28:15:00	THINGS FEEL LIKE IT'S ALL YOU
03:28:15:00	03:28:18:00	KNOW, A TACTIC OR POLITICS OR
03:28:18:00	03:28:19:00	JUST AND SOMETIMES IT'S JUST IT
03:28:19:00	03:28:22:00	IS WHAT IT IS AND I THINK THAT
03:28:22:00	03:28:26:00	I WOULD LOVE TO SEE US HAVE A
03:28:26:00	03:28:29:00	SORT OF REACTION LIKE MORE
03:28:29:00	03:28:33:00	PROACTIVE LIKE YOU KNOW, IN
03:28:33:00	03:28:34:00	JANUARY GETTING AHEAD OF, YOU
03:28:34:00	03:28:37:00	KNOW, PARADE SEASON.
03:28:37:00	03:28:37:00	WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS
03:28:37:00	03:28:38:00	THAT WE NEED TO CONSIDER?
03:28:38:00	03:28:40:00	DO WE HAVE THE CAPACITY AND
03:28:40:00	03:28:41:00	MAKE IT LESS ABOUT A SPECIFIC
03:28:41:00	03:28:44:00	INCIDENT OR CULTURAL GROUP?
03:28:44:00	03:28:45:00	BECAUSE I DO KNOW THAT A LOT
03:28:45:00	03:28:48:00	OF PEOPLE YOU KNOW, THE
03:28:48:00	03:28:48:00	CARIBBEAN PARADE ALWAYS IS
03:28:48:00	03:28:52:00	UNDER THE MICROSCOPE.
03:28:52:00	03:28:52:00	THE PUERTO RICAN, THE DOMINICAN
03:28:52:00	03:28:58:00	AND WHILE YES, I UNDERSTAND THE
03:28:58:00	03:28:59:00	NUANCES OF THE CULTURAL ASPECT
03:28:59:00	03:29:02:00	OF THINGS I JUST THINK THAT WE
03:29:02:00	03:29:03:00	BECOME A LITTLE BIT SENSITIVE
03:29:03:00	03:29:05:00	TO SOME OF THAT AS WELL.
03:29:05:00	03:29:06:00	SO I JUST THINK MAKING IT MORE
03:29:06:00	03:29:09:00	INCLUSIVE AND THAT MIGHT HELP
03:29:09:00	03:29:12:00	THE CHURCH AND AS A COUNTRY
03:29:12:00	03:29:15:00	PLAY NEAR THE FLOOR.
03:29:15:00	03:29:16:00	THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
03:29:16:00	03:29:19:00	I THINK WE HAVE TO REFOCUS
03:29:19:00	03:29:23:00	AGAIN AND KIND OF FOCUS ON WHAT
03:29:23:00	03:29:26:00	THE THE THE HEARING IS ABOUT IS
03:29:26:00	03:29:27:00	THERE WAS A SITUATION WHERE
03:29:27:00	03:29:30:00	BOSTON POLICE OFFICERS THEIR
03:29:30:00	03:29:31:00	RADIOS WERE NOT WORKING FOR A
03:29:31:00	03:29:34:00	PERIOD OF TIME.
03:29:34:00	03:29:35:00	WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THOSE
03:29:35:00	03:29:38:00	RADIOS WERE WORKING.
03:29:38:00	03:29:42:00	WE WANT TO ENSURE AND ASK
03:29:42:00	03:29:42:00	QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THEY
03:29:42:00	03:29:46:00	WEREN'T WORKING, WHAT BROKE
03:29:46:00	03:29:50:00	DOWN, WHY DID THE COMMUNICATION
03:29:50:00	03:29:50:00	AND BREAKDOWN AND HOW WE MOVE
03:29:50:00	03:29:54:00	FORWARD TO ENSURE THAT OUR
03:29:54:00	03:29:54:00	SYSTEMS ARE ALWAYS OPERABLE
03:29:54:00	03:29:58:00	WHERE WE CAN COMMUNICATE
03:29:58:00	03:30:00:00	EFFECTIVELY FROM ONE POLICE
03:30:00:00	03:30:01:00	OFFICER TO ANOTHER ESPECIALLY
03:30:01:00	03:30:04:00	DURING DANGEROUS TIMES?
03:30:04:00	03:30:08:00	THAT'S WHAT THE FOCUS OF THE
03:30:08:00	03:30:11:00	HEARING ORDER IS ON AND I WANT
03:30:11:00	03:30:12:00	TO BE MINDFUL THAT IT'S
03:30:12:00	03:30:15:00	IMPORTANT FOR US TO WORK
03:30:15:00	03:30:16:00	TOGETHER TO BE RESPECTFUL
03:30:16:00	03:30:19:00	OF EACH OTHER AND IN IF WE WANT
03:30:19:00	03:30:23:00	TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ON THAT
03:30:23:00	03:30:24:00	YOU KNOW, MIGHT CHALLENGE
03:30:24:00	03:30:27:00	ANOTHER CITY COUNCIL, MAYBE WE
03:30:27:00	03:30:28:00	DO THAT OFFLINE.

03:30:42:00	03:30:46:00	I THINK IT REALLY IS IMPORTANT
03:30:46:00	03:30:49:00	THAT IT'S OKAY TO ALWAYS HAVE A
03:30:49:00	03:30:50:00	CONVERSATION AND DIALOG ON THE
03:30:50:00	03:30:54:00	COUNCIL FLOOR BECAUSE THAT'S
03:30:54:00	03:30:54:00	REALLY WHAT PEOPLE ARE LOOKING
03:30:54:00	03:30:57:00	FOR FROM THE COUNCIL IS TO HAVE
03:30:57:00	03:31:01:00	A CONVERSATION ABOUT AND AND TO
03:31:01:00	03:31:01:00	BE HONEST THE PARTICULAR

03:31:02:00	03:31:04:00	PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THINGS ARE
03:31:04:00	03:31:08:00	IMPORTANT AND SO I CAN TRUST
03:31:08:00	03:31:08:00	THAT IF ONE OF OUR COLLEAGUES
03:31:08:00	03:31:11:00	WAS UPSET WITH THE FRAMING
03:31:11:00	03:31:12:00	OF SOMETHING SO WERE OUR

03:31:19:00	03:31:20:00	BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE
03:31:20:00	03:31:21:00	DON'T CARE ABOUT THE FOCUS

03:42:35:00	03:42:38:00	THESE POLICIES IN PLACE AND
03:42:38:00	03:42:38:00	THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

03:43:39:00	03:43:40:00	WE RESPECT OUR PROUD IMMIGRANT
03:43:40:00	03:43:40:00	ROOTS.
03:43:40:00	03:43:44:00	HISTORY HARDWORKING NEIGHBORS
03:43:44:00	03:43:45:00	AND FAMILIES WHO HAVE BEEN HERE
03:43:45:00	03:43:48:00	FOR YEARS AND GENERATIONS.
03:43:48:00	03:43:51:00	IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT FOR US TO
03:43:51:00	03:43:51:00	FOCUS ON CITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD
03:43:51:00	03:43:55:00	SERVICES PUBLIC SAFETY, SERIOUS
03:43:55:00	03:43:59:00	SERIOUS PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES AS
03:43:59:00	03:44:00:00	WELL AS AN INTERNATIONAL CITY.
03:44:00:00	03:44:03:00	WE MUST HAVE A CLOSE WORKING
03:44:03:00	03:44:03:00	RELATIONSHIP WITH STATE AND
03:44:03:00	03:44:04:00	FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
03:44:04:00	03:44:07:00	PARTNERS AND THE NECESSARY
03:44:07:00	03:44:08:00	RESOURCES TO ADDRESS ANY AND
03:44:08:00	03:44:11:00	ALL PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES.
03:44:11:00	03:44:15:00	JUST TWO WEEKS AGO THERE WAS A
03:44:15:00	03:44:15:00	COLLABORATION BETWEEN CITY,
03:44:15:00	03:44:16:00	STATE AND FEDERAL PARTNERS TO
03:44:16:00	03:44:18:00	MAKE 13 ARREST RELATED TO HUMAN
03:44:18:00	03:44:19:00	TRAFFICKING.
03:44:19:00	03:44:22:00	MANY OF THOSE ARRESTS WERE IN
03:44:22:00	03:44:23:00	AND AROUND THE MASSIVE CASS
03:44:23:00	03:44:23:00	AREA.
03:44:23:00	03:44:26:00	MANY OF THOSE ARRESTS WERE IN
03:44:26:00	03:44:27:00	MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN SOUTH BOSTON
03:44:27:00	03:44:30:00	RIGHT NEAR ANDREW ANDREW'S
03:44:30:00	03:44:30:00	SQUARE.
03:44:30:00	03:44:33:00	WE CAN'T COMPROMISE.
03:44:33:00	03:44:34:00	BOSTON HAS A WONDERFUL WORKING
03:44:34:00	03:44:38:00	RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DEA, WITH
03:44:38:00	03:44:41:00	THE FBI.
03:44:41:00	03:44:42:00	LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS
03:44:42:00	03:44:43:00	IN WEST ROXBURY AT THE VA
03:44:43:00	03:44:45:00	MEDICAL CENTER WITH SENATOR

03:44:45:00	03:44:48:00	VETERANS MILITARY FAMILIES
03:44:48:00	03:44:49:00	ADVOCATING AGAINST CUTS TO THE
03:44:49:00	03:44:52:00	FEDERAL WORKFORCE AND TO STAND
03:44:52:00	03:44:53:00	WITH EMPLOYEES AT THE VA
03:44:53:00	03:44:56:00	MEDICAL CENTER.
03:44:56:00	03:44:59:00	BUT I WAS ALSO THE ONLY CITY
03:44:59:00	03:45:00:00	COUNCIL PRESENT AT THAT RALLY
03:45:00:00	03:45:04:00	JUST JUST AS I WAS AT A SIMILAR
03:45:04:00	03:45:07:00	EVENT WITH CONGRESSMAN LYNCH AT
03:45:07:00	03:45:08:00	THE VA FACILITY IN THE WINTER
03:45:08:00	03:45:11:00	IN RESPONSE TO FEDERAL BUDGET
03:45:11:00	03:45:12:00	CUTS TO VETERANS AND MILITARY
03:45:12:00	03:45:12:00	FAMILIES.
03:45:12:00	03:45:15:00	I WAS THE ONLY CITY
03:45:15:00	03:45:15:00	COUNCIL THERE.
03:45:15:00	03:45:16:00	LIKE ALL OF US, I'VE DONE
03:45:16:00	03:45:19:00	RESOLUTIONS, LETTERS,
03:45:19:00	03:45:19:00	STATEMENTS CRITICAL OF THE
03:45:19:00	03:45:22:00	FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BUT THE CITY
03:45:22:00	03:45:22:00	COUNCIL AND MUNICIPAL BODY
03:45:22:00	03:45:26:00	CANNOT ONLY BE ABOUT NATIONAL
03:45:26:00	03:45:27:00	AND INTERNATIONAL ISSUES.
03:45:27:00	03:45:27:00	IN MY OPINION WE'RE LOSING
03:45:27:00	03:45:30:00	SIGHT OF NEIGHBORHOOD ISSUES
03:45:30:00	03:45:31:00	PUBLIC SAFETY, QUALITY OF LIFE,
03:45:31:00	03:45:34:00	OUR CONSTITUENTS REGARD TO

03:45:41:00	03:45:45:00	NEIGHBORS TO THE PARTS.
03:45:45:00	03:45:45:00	WE ALSO NEED TO HAVE HEARINGS
03:45:45:00	03:45:49:00	TO PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY ON CITY
03:45:49:00	03:45:52:00	ISSUES IMPACTING PUBLIC SAFETY
03:45:52:00	03:45:53:00	THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
03:45:53:00	03:45:53:00	LATER ON.
03:45:53:00	03:45:56:00	MASS MASSIVE CARS.
03:45:56:00	03:45:57:00	WE'RE NOT ABLE TO SPEAK SPEAK
03:45:57:00	03:45:58:00	ABOUT MASS AND CHAOS IN A
03:45:58:00	03:45:59:00	HEARING.
03:45:59:00	03:46:00:00	PUBLIC HEALTH QUALITY OF LIFE
03:46:00:00	03:46:04:00	ISSUES I THINK WE HAVE TO
03:46:04:00	03:46:05:00	REFOCUS OURSELVES BACK ON CITY
03:46:05:00	03:46:05:00	AND NEIGHBORHOOD ISSUES.
03:46:05:00	03:46:06:00	I'M GOING TO OBJECT, MADAM
03:46:06:00	03:46:10:00	CHAIR.

03:46:22:00	03:46:22:00	DISCUSSION.
03:46:22:00	03:46:25:00	NO OTHER LIGHTS, NO ONE ELSE
03:46:25:00	03:46:26:00	TALKING.
03:46:26:00	03:46:26:00	THERE'S AN OBJECTION.
03:46:26:00	03:46:29:00	IT ENDS DISCUSSION.
03:46:29:00	03:46:30:00	WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE.
03:46:30:00	03:46:31:00	AND I AM SENDING IT TO
03:46:31:00	03:46:33:00	COMMITTEE SO ANYONE WHO HAS
03:46:33:00	03:46:34:00	THEIR LIGHTS ON CANNOT SPEAK ON

03:48:48:00	03:48:49:00	CONSTITUENTS AND THE COALITION
03:48:49:00	03:48:52:00	AND ECP AND SO MANY OTHER FOLKS
03:48:52:00	03:48:55:00	WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING ON
03:48:55:00	03:48:58:00	OFFERING AN ALTERNATE PATH
03:48:58:00	03:48:59:00	FORWARD AS IT RELATES TO WHITE
03:48:59:00	03:48:59:00	STADIUM.
03:48:59:00	03:49:02:00	AND I THINK THAT THE WORLD
03:49:02:00	03:49:03:00	OF POLITICS HAD POISONED THE
03:49:03:00	03:49:06:00	WORK THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.
03:49:06:00	03:49:08:00	AND I WANT TO BE CLEAR AND FOR
03:49:08:00	03:49:10:00	THE RECORD THAT IF ANYONE KNOWS
03:49:10:00	03:49:11:00	ME AND THE WORK THAT I'VE BEEN
03:49:11:00	03:49:11:00	DOING HERE ON THIS COUNCIL, IT
03:49:11:00	03:49:14:00	IS ALWAYS BEEN DEEPLY ROOTED IN
03:49:14:00	03:49:17:00	COMMUNITY AND NOT POLITICAL
03:49:17:00	03:49:21:00	POSTURING AND SO TOO THAT WHEN
03:49:21:00	03:49:25:00	WE WORKED WITH COALITION TO
03:49:25:00	03:49:25:00	STOP THE O'BRIANT FROM MOVING
03:49:25:00	03:49:28:00	TO WEST ROXBURY THAT WAS
03:49:28:00	03:49:28:00	COALITION AND THE COMMUNITY
03:49:28:00	03:49:31:00	THAT LED THAT EFFORT AND THIS
03:49:31:00	03:49:32:00	IS THIS IS THE SAME ITERATION
03:49:32:00	03:49:36:00	IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT BODY AND
03:49:36:00	03:49:37:00	EVERY SINGLE TIME WE TRIED TO
03:49:37:00	03:49:40:00	DO OUR WORK IT FEELS LIKE WE
03:49:40:00	03:49:44:00	ARE MET WITH A PROCEDURAL, A
03:49:44:00	03:49:47:00	PROCESS THINGS THAT PREVENTS US
03:49:47:00	03:49:48:00	FROM REALLY MOVING THE WORK
03:49:48:00	03:49:51:00	THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO FORWARD
03:49:51:00	03:49:51:00	.
03:49:51:00	03:49:52:00	AND I'M JUST DISHEARTENED THAT
03:49:52:00	03:49:55:00	I HAD TO LEARN ABOUT THIS THIS
03:49:55:00	03:49:59:00	MORNING ON MY WAY INTO WORK AND
03:49:59:00	03:49:59:00	PREPARATION AND THERE WERE
03:49:59:00	03:50:02:00	COALITION MEMBERS THAT WERE
03:50:02:00	03:50:03:00	GEARING UP TO BE HERE.
03:50:03:00	03:50:04:00	SO I JUST THINK IT SETS A
03:50:04:00	03:50:10:00	REALLY BAD PRECEDENTS HERE ON
03:50:10:00	03:50:10:00	THE COUNCIL THAT WE'RE NOT
03:50:10:00	03:50:14:00	REALLY ALLOWING PEOPLE TO BE
03:50:14:00	03:50:14:00	FULLY EXPRESSED.
03:50:14:00	03:50:18:00	AND SO I JUST WANT TO KNOW MY
03:50:18:00	03:50:19:00	EXTREME DISAPPOINTMENT IN IN
03:50:19:00	03:50:22:00	THIS BODY AND IN OUR PROP IN
03:50:22:00	03:50:25:00	OUR PROCESSES.
03:50:25:00	03:50:26:00	AND MY HOPE IS IS THAT THOSE
03:50:26:00	03:50:29:00	WHO ARE TUNING IN KNOW THAT IT
03:50:29:00	03:50:30:00	WAS NO FAULT OF MY OWN AND THAT
03:50:30:00	03:50:33:00	I CONTINUE TO SHOW UP TO WORK
03:50:33:00	03:50:36:00	EVEN THOUGH MY WORK IS BEING
03:50:36:00	03:50:37:00	BLOCKED IN EVERY SINGLE
03:50:37:00	03:50:37:00	DIRECTION.
03:50:37:00	03:50:40:00	IT WAS THIS IT WAS THE BALLOT.
03:50:40:00	03:50:41:00	IT IS EVERY SINGLE THING THAT I
03:50:41:00	03:50:42:00	TRIED TO DO HERE ON THE BUS THE
03:50:42:00	03:50:45:00	CITY COUNCIL THAT HAS BEEN
03:50:45:00	03:50:48:00	DIFFICULT TO DO.
03:50:48:00	03:50:49:00	THANK YOU MADAM CLERK, COULD
03:50:49:00	03:50:51:00	YOU PLEASE READ DOCKET NUMBER
03:50:51:00	03:50:54:00	1573 DOCKET NUMBER 1573
03:50:54:00	03:50:55:00	COMMENTS TO MEJIA ARE FOR THE
03:50:55:00	03:50:58:00	FOLLOWING RESOLUTION CALLING
03:50:58:00	03:50:59:00	FOR A RECONSIDERATION OF THE
03:50:59:00	03:51:02:00	BOSTON SCHOOL COMMITTEE
03:51:02:00	03:51:02:00	NOMINATION PROCESS AND
03:51:02:00	03:51:06:00	AFFIRMING THE NEED FOR GREATER
03:51:06:00	03:51:07:00	CITY COUNCIL ENVIRONMENT.
03:51:07:00	03:51:07:00	THE JARGON AS IT COMES FROM
03:51:07:00	03:51:09:00	HERE ON THE FLOOR.
03:51:09:00	03:51:13:00	OH MY LORD.
03:51:13:00	03:51:17:00	SO HERE'S ANOTHER ONE WHO'S
03:51:17:00	03:51:18:00	GOING TO OBJECT TO THIS ONE?
03:51:18:00	03:51:20:00	LET'S GO LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS
03:51:20:00	03:51:20:00	NOW.
03:51:20:00	03:51:21:00	ALL RIGHT.
03:51:21:00	03:51:24:00	SO I AM CALLING FOR A
03:51:24:00	03:51:28:00	RESOLUTION FOR US TO REEVALUATE
03:51:28:00	03:51:32:00	AND RECONSIDER HOW THE BASIN
03:51:32:00	03:51:32:00	SCHOOL COMMITTEE NOMINATION
03:51:32:00	03:51:35:00	PROCESS WORKS.
03:51:35:00	03:51:36:00	AND MY HOPE IS THAT WE CAN
03:51:36:00	03:51:38:00	AFFIRM THAT WE NEED GREATER
03:51:38:00	03:51:39:00	CITY COUNCIL INVOLVEMENT.
03:51:39:00	03:51:40:00	THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US
03:51:40:00	03:51:43:00	YET AGAIN TO DEMONSTRATE THAT
03:51:43:00	03:51:47:00	WE ACTUALLY ARE A BODY THAT IS
03:51:47:00	03:51:50:00	FUNCTIONING.
03:51:50:00	03:51:51:00	AND SO EVEN THOUGH THIS IS NOT
03:51:51:00	03:51:53:00	HOW WE DO BUSINESS, I AM GOING
03:51:53:00	03:51:54:00	TO HOPE THAT WE CAN MOVE IN A
03:51:54:00	03:51:55:00	DIRECTION THAT WILL ALLOW US
03:51:55:00	03:51:58:00	GREATER TRANSPARENCY.
03:51:58:00	03:51:59:00	SO I WANT TO JUST THANK MADAM
03:51:59:00	03:51:59:00	PRESIDENT FOR ALLOWING ME TO
03:51:59:00	03:52:02:00	SPEAK AND I WANT TO JUST BEGIN
03:52:02:00	03:52:03:00	BY CONGRATULATING RACHEL
03:52:03:00	03:52:06:00	SKERRITT ON HER APPOINTMENT TO
03:52:06:00	03:52:06:00	THE BOSTON SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
03:52:06:00	03:52:09:00	SHE IS AN OUTSTANDING EDUCATOR
03:52:09:00	03:52:10:00	AND LEADER AND I HAVE NO DOUBT
03:52:10:00	03:52:11:00	THAT SHE WILL SERVE OUR
03:52:11:00	03:52:14:00	STUDENTS WITH SKILL AND
03:52:14:00	03:52:14:00	DEDICATION.
03:52:14:00	03:52:17:00	BUT EVEN AS WE CELEBRATE HER,
03:52:17:00	03:52:18:00	WE MUST BE HONEST ABOUT THE
03:52:18:00	03:52:21:00	PROCESS THAT BROUGHT US HERE.
03:52:21:00	03:52:22:00	THIS IS ABOUT STRUCTURAL
03:52:22:00	03:52:25:00	STRUCTURE TRANSPARENT EASY AND
03:52:25:00	03:52:26:00	THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE WE
03:52:26:00	03:52:29:00	REPRESENT RIGHT NOW THE CITY
03:52:29:00	03:52:30:00	COUNCIL, THE ELECT, THE ELECTED
03:52:30:00	03:52:30:00	BODY CLOSEST TO THE RESIDENTS
03:52:30:00	03:52:33:00	OF BOSTON HAS NO FORMAL ROLE IN
03:52:33:00	03:52:36:00	REVIEWING, QUESTIONING OR
03:52:36:00	03:52:37:00	CONFIRMING SCHOOL COMMITTEE
03:52:37:00	03:52:37:00	APPOINTEES.
03:52:37:00	03:52:38:00	THAT MEANS THAT OUR COMMUNITIES
03:52:38:00	03:52:41:00	HAVE NO REAL MECHANISM TO
03:52:41:00	03:52:42:00	ENSURE THEIR PRIORITIES AND
03:52:42:00	03:52:45:00	CONCERNS ARE REFLECTED IN THOSE
03:52:45:00	03:52:48:00	DECISIONS THAT THEY MAKE ON
03:52:48:00	03:52:49:00	BEHALF OF THE BOSTON PUBLIC
03:52:49:00	03:52:49:00	SCHOOLS, I'VE WITNESSED THIS
03:52:49:00	03:52:52:00	PATTERN BEFORE WHEN ISSUES ARE
03:52:52:00	03:52:53:00	UNCOMFORTABLE, WHEN
03:52:53:00	03:52:56:00	ACCOUNTABILITY GETS TOO CLOSE
03:52:56:00	03:52:56:00	TO HOME THEY GET PUSHED TO THE
03:52:56:00	03:52:57:00	SIDE.
03:52:57:00	03:53:01:00	JUST THIS WEEK OUR RESOLUTION
03:53:01:00	03:53:01:00	ON WHITE STADIUM CALLING FOR
03:53:01:00	03:53:04:00	ANSWERS ON PROCUREMENT,
03:53:04:00	03:53:04:00	TRANSPARENCY AND EQUITY IN
03:53:04:00	03:53:08:00	REVIEWING AN ALTERNATE PLAN WAS
03:53:08:00	03:53:08:00	REMOVED UNDER RULE 15 AND PRIOR
03:53:08:00	03:53:14:00	TO THAT A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN I
03:53:14:00	03:53:14:00	FIRST INTRODUCED THE RESOLUTION
03:53:14:00	03:53:18:00	I WAS ADVISED THAT I NEEDED TO
03:53:18:00	03:53:18:00	MODIFY THE LANGUAGE SO THAT IT
03:53:18:00	03:53:21:00	WOULD NOT BE RULE 15 AND I DID
03:53:21:00	03:53:22:00	ALL OF THAT WORK AND EVEN STILL
03:53:22:00	03:53:24:00	THIS MORNING IT'S STILL GOT
03:53:24:00	03:53:25:00	RULES 15 SO I JUST DON'T
03:53:25:00	03:53:28:00	UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS.
03:53:28:00	03:53:29:00	BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY SOME WILL
03:53:29:00	03:53:32:00	SAY THAT PROCEDURALLY THAT'S
03:53:32:00	03:53:32:00	ALL PROCEDURALLY BUT TO THE
03:53:32:00	03:53:35:00	PUBLIC IT FEELS LIKE AVOIDANCE
03:53:35:00	03:53:36:00	AND EDUCATION DESERVES BETTER
03:53:36:00	03:53:39:00	THAN AVOIDANCE.
03:53:39:00	03:53:40:00	OUR STUDENTS, PARENTS,
03:53:40:00	03:53:40:00	EDUCATORS DESERVE A NOMINATION
03:53:40:00	03:53:43:00	PROCESS THAT IS OPEN,
03:53:43:00	03:53:44:00	ACCOUNTABLE AND REFLECTIVE
03:53:44:00	03:53:47:00	OF BOSTON'S DIVERSITY.
03:53:47:00	03:53:48:00	THIS RESOLUTION IS A STEP
03:53:48:00	03:53:48:00	TOWARDS THAT GOAL.
03:53:48:00	03:53:51:00	IT ASKS US TO REEXAMINE HOW
03:53:51:00	03:53:52:00	SCHOOL COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE
03:53:52:00	03:53:55:00	CHOSEN TO CAN AND CONSIDERED
03:53:55:00	03:53:59:00	FOR FUTURE HERE ON THE BOSTON
03:53:59:00	03:54:00:00	CITY COUNCIL AND IT ALLOWS US
03:54:00:00	03:54:03:00	TO PLAY A ROLE ALONGSIDE THE
03:54:03:00	03:54:07:00	MAYOR AND IN SHAPING WHAT THE
03:54:07:00	03:54:07:00	LEADERSHIP OF OUR SCHOOL
03:54:07:00	03:54:08:00	COMMITTEE WOULD LOOK LIKE.
03:54:08:00	03:54:10:00	THIS IS ABOUT SHARED
03:54:10:00	03:54:11:00	RESPONSIBILITY IF WE CAN COME
03:54:11:00	03:54:14:00	TOGETHER TO STRENGTHEN THIS
03:54:14:00	03:54:15:00	PROCESS, WE CAN BUILD A SYSTEM
03:54:15:00	03:54:16:00	THAT EARNS THE TRUST OF THE
03:54:16:00	03:54:18:00	PEOPLE THAT WE SERVE.
03:54:18:00	03:54:18:00	THANK YOU.
03:54:18:00	03:54:21:00	AND I MOVE TO SUSPEND AND PASS.

03:57:00:00	03:57:00:00	BUSINESSES IS A CRITICAL PART

04:03:32:00	04:03:33:00	DAYS OF THE TERMINATION OF THE
04:03:33:00	04:03:36:00	PAY PERIOD DURING WHICH THE
04:03:36:00	04:03:36:00	WAGES WERE EARNED.
04:03:36:00	04:03:39:00	IF EMPLOYED FOR THE FIVE OR SIX
04:03:39:00	04:03:40:00	DAYS IN A CALENDAR WEEK THE PAY
04:03:40:00	04:03:43:00	PERIOD ENDED ON JUNE 28TH.
04:03:43:00	04:03:46:00	THEREFORE EMPLOYEES WOULD HAVE
04:03:46:00	04:03:50:00	NEEDED TO BE PAID BY FOURTH.
04:03:50:00	04:03:51:00	THOUSANDS OF EMPLOYEES WERE
04:03:51:00	04:03:54:00	UNFORTUNATELY PAID AFTER THIS
04:03:54:00	04:03:57:00	DEADLINE.
04:03:57:00	04:03:58:00	IT IS APPROPRIATE TO CONDUCT AN
04:03:58:00	04:03:59:00	INDEPENDENT AND OUTSIDE
04:03:59:00	04:04:02:00	INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE
04:04:02:00	04:04:03:00	WHETHER THE CITY OF BOSTON
04:04:03:00	04:04:06:00	INADVERTENTLY BROKE STATE OR
04:04:06:00	04:04:07:00	FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT LAWS.
04:04:07:00	04:04:10:00	IF THEY DID, IT WASN'T DONE
04:04:10:00	04:04:10:00	INTENTIONALLY.
04:04:10:00	04:04:11:00	AN INVESTIGATION MAY ALSO
04:04:11:00	04:04:14:00	PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR
04:04:14:00	04:04:15:00	RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY
04:04:15:00	04:04:18:00	OF BOSTON TO PREVENT SIMILAR
04:04:18:00	04:04:19:00	INCIDENTS FROM OCCURRING AGAIN
04:04:19:00	04:04:19:00	IN THE FUTURE.

04:04:26:00	04:04:29:00	WE HELD A HEARING AFTER THE
04:04:29:00	04:04:30:00	FILING THAT WE DID A COUPLE

04:04:33:00	04:04:34:00	OF JULY BREAK DOWN IN THE
04:04:34:00	04:04:34:00	PAYROLL.
04:04:34:00	04:04:37:00	WE DID GET A LOT OF GOOD
04:04:37:00	04:04:40:00	ANSWERS AND A SOMEWHAT PROMISE
04:04:40:00	04:04:43:00	OR DEFINITELY A PROMISE BUT A
04:04:43:00	04:04:44:00	CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW TO MAKE
04:04:44:00	04:04:45:00	SURE AND THE NEW SAFEGUARDS IN
04:04:45:00	04:04:48:00	PLACE MAKE SURE THIS DIDN'T
04:04:48:00	04:04:48:00	HAPPEN AGAIN.
04:04:48:00	04:04:51:00	BUT THERE WERE REAL CONCERNS
04:04:51:00	04:04:52:00	ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT WE NEED TO
04:04:52:00	04:04:55:00	HAVE FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO
04:04:55:00	04:04:56:00	THIS.
04:04:56:00	04:04:56:00	SO LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING
04:04:56:00	04:04:59:00	FORWARD WITH AN INVESTIGATION
04:04:59:00	04:05:00:00	TO FIND OUT THAT WE'VE DONE
04:05:00:00	04:05:01:00	EVERYTHING WE CAN FOR OUR CITY
04:05:01:00	04:05:04:00	EMPLOYEES TO WORK VERY HARD AND
04:05:04:00	04:05:04:00	DESERVE TO BE PAID ON TIME.
04:05:04:00	04:05:05:00	THANK YOU.

04:05:09:00	04:05:11:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
04:05:11:00	04:05:12:00	THE DELAY OF THE DELAY OF CITY
04:05:12:00	04:05:13:00	WORKERS IS ABSOLUTELY A SERIOUS
04:05:13:00	04:05:15:00	ISSUE WHICH IS WHY WE TOOK THIS
04:05:15:00	04:05:16:00	NECESSARY STEP OF HOLDING A
04:05:16:00	04:05:18:00	HEARING ON THE MATTER AND WE
04:05:18:00	04:05:19:00	HAD A VERY INFORMATIVE HEARING
04:05:19:00	04:05:20:00	WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO HEAR FROM
04:05:20:00	04:05:22:00	CHIEF GROFF AND BERGER AND
04:05:22:00	04:05:22:00	OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CABINET.
04:05:22:00	04:05:27:00	WE WERE ABLE TO ALSO ASK TOUGH
04:05:27:00	04:05:27:00	QUESTIONS TO THE CITY TO THOSE
04:05:27:00	04:05:30:00	CITY OFFICIALS COMING TO THE
04:05:30:00	04:05:30:00	CONCLUSION ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED,
04:05:30:00	04:05:31:00	WHAT STEPS ARE BEING TAKE TO
04:05:31:00	04:05:33:00	PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING
04:05:33:00	04:05:34:00	HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE.
04:05:34:00	04:05:35:00	AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
04:05:35:00	04:05:38:00	ALSO WHAT STEPS ARE THEY TAKING
04:05:38:00	04:05:38:00	TO MAKE SURE THAT ANY OTHER
04:05:38:00	04:05:39:00	ISSUES DON'T HAPPEN?
04:05:39:00	04:05:42:00	YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE THAT IN
04:05:42:00	04:05:43:00	THIS YEAR WE WERE ABLE TO GET A
04:05:43:00	04:05:43:00	LOT OF THOSE ANSWERS AND THAT'S
04:05:43:00	04:05:45:00	WHY THE INVESTIGATION IS
04:05:45:00	04:05:46:00	THEREFORE UNNECESSARY AND THAT
04:05:46:00	04:05:47:00	IS WHY WE VOTED NO ON THIS
04:05:47:00	04:05:49:00	RESOLUTION.
04:05:49:00	04:05:50:00	THANK YOU.
04:05:50:00	04:05:50:00	THANK YOU.
04:05:50:00	04:05:51:00	THE CHAIR ACT HAS JUST COME TO
04:05:51:00	04:05:52:00	THE FLOOR.
04:05:52:00	04:05:53:00	THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
04:05:53:00	04:05:56:00	YOU KNOW, AS AS A WORKERS
04:05:56:00	04:05:57:00	RIGHTS ATTORNEY WHO'S LITIGATED
04:05:57:00	04:06:00:00	THE ISSUE ABOUT WHETHER PEOPLE
04:06:00:00	04:06:01:00	PAID ON TIME AND WHETHER THAT
04:06:01:00	04:06:04:00	VIOLATED THE LAW, YOU KNOW, I
04:06:04:00	04:06:05:00	THINK THAT IN TERMS OF AN
04:06:05:00	04:06:09:00	INVESTIGATION AND THAT WOULD BE
04:06:09:00	04:06:09:00	INTO THE FACTS OF WHAT OCCURRED
04:06:09:00	04:06:12:00	AND TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT.
04:06:12:00	04:06:13:00	WE DID HEAR EXACTLY WHAT
04:06:13:00	04:06:15:00	HAPPENED FROM THE
04:06:15:00	04:06:16:00	ADMINISTRATION IN THE HEARING.
04:06:16:00	04:06:16:00	THEY WERE VERY CANDID ABOUT
04:06:16:00	04:06:17:00	THAT.
04:06:17:00	04:06:20:00	IT'S JUST YOU KNOW, IT'S THIS
04:06:20:00	04:06:23:00	IS NOT HOW WE DETERMINE THE LAW
04:06:23:00	04:06:23:00	TO CONDUCT AN INDEPENDENT
04:06:23:00	04:06:23:00	INVESTIGATION.
04:06:23:00	04:06:27:00	JUDGES DETERMINE THAT SOMEBODY
04:06:27:00	04:06:27:00	COULD HAVE THEIR OPINION.
04:06:27:00	04:06:30:00	THAT'S JUST GOING TO BE THEIR
04:06:30:00	04:06:31:00	OPINION.
04:06:31:00	04:06:31:00	IT'S NOT GOING TO RESOLVE
04:06:31:00	04:06:31:00	ANYTHING.
04:06:31:00	04:06:34:00	AN INDEPENDENT AGENCY SAYING
04:06:34:00	04:06:35:00	WHETHER THE LAW IS VIOLATED OR
04:06:35:00	04:06:38:00	NOT AND IF THE INTENTION IS TO
04:06:38:00	04:06:38:00	ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO SUE THE
04:06:38:00	04:06:41:00	CITY AND SO WE CAN WASTE MORE
04:06:41:00	04:06:42:00	RESOURCES IN ADDITION TO PAYING
04:06:42:00	04:06:43:00	FOR AN INDEPENDENT
04:06:43:00	04:06:46:00	INVESTIGATION.
04:06:46:00	04:06:46:00	AND YOU KNOW, THAT IS I THINK
04:06:46:00	04:06:49:00	COUNSELOR'S PREROGATIVE WHETHER
04:06:49:00	04:06:50:00	TO DO THAT OR NOT.
04:06:50:00	04:06:51:00	I THINK THIS REQUEST IS REALLY
04:06:51:00	04:06:54:00	AMATEUR AND I AM NOT GOING TO
04:06:54:00	04:06:54:00	SUPPORT IT.

04:06:55:00	04:06:57:00	THANK YOU.

04:39:21:00	04:39:22:00	KNOWING THAT A ROUTINE TRAFFIC
04:39:22:00	04:39:23:00	STOP COULD BECOME A SITUATION
04:39:23:00	04:39:25:00	WHERE SOMEONE HAS A GUN.
04:39:25:00	04:39:29:00	I SUPPORT A CONVERSATION ABOUT
04:39:29:00	04:39:30:00	ALL CITY PRACTICES.
04:39:30:00	04:39:33:00	I DO THINK WE HAVE HAD A
04:39:33:00	04:39:34:00	CONVERSATION ABOUT THE CITY
04:39:34:00	04:39:34:00	COUNCIL AT THE CITY
04:39:34:00	04:39:37:00	COUNCIL ABOUT HOW WE'RE NOT
04:39:37:00	04:39:38:00	GOING TO TALK ABOUT INDIVIDUAL
04:39:38:00	04:39:41:00	INSTANCES AND THIS IS VERY MUCH
04:39:41:00	04:39:41:00	AN INDIVIDUAL INSTANCE.
04:39:41:00	04:39:45:00	I THINK WE CAN ZOOM OUT AND
04:39:45:00	04:39:45:00	TALK ABOUT ALL OF THIS AND AND
04:39:45:00	04:39:49:00	CONTINUE TO HAVE THESE
04:39:49:00	04:39:49:00	CONVERSATIONS.
04:39:49:00	04:39:49:00	I THINK THEY'RE INCREDIBLY
04:39:49:00	04:39:50:00	IMPORTANT.
04:39:50:00	04:39:53:00	I ALSO WANT TO JUST POINT TO WE
04:39:53:00	04:39:56:00	HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS OFTEN
04:39:56:00	04:39:59:00	IN SILO AROUND REENTRY AND
04:39:59:00	04:39:59:00	GIVING PEOPLE A SECOND CHANCE
04:39:59:00	04:40:03:00	AND THEN WHEN AN INSTANCE LIKE
04:40:03:00	04:40:04:00	THIS HAPPENS WE HAVE GIVEN
04:40:04:00	04:40:06:00	SOMEONE ANOTHER CHANCE AND
04:40:06:00	04:40:07:00	OBVIOUSLY HORRIFICALLY
04:40:07:00	04:40:10:00	SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG HERE.
04:40:10:00	04:40:10:00	WE ARE ALMOST HAVING THESE
04:40:10:00	04:40:13:00	CONVERSATIONS IN SILO THESE
04:40:13:00	04:40:14:00	CONVERSATIONS NEED TO BE
04:40:14:00	04:40:14:00	TOGETHER.
04:40:14:00	04:40:17:00	THE CONVERSATION ABOUT REENTRY
04:40:17:00	04:40:18:00	BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY BACKGROUND
04:40:18:00	04:40:21:00	CHECKS AND SECURITY PROTOCOLS
04:40:21:00	04:40:22:00	ARE ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
04:40:22:00	04:40:25:00	BUT WE HAVE A CONVERSATION
04:40:25:00	04:40:26:00	GOING ON IN THE MAYORAL RACE
04:40:26:00	04:40:29:00	ABOUT REENTRY ABOUT A
04:40:29:00	04:40:33:00	CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT ALMOST
04:40:33:00	04:40:36:00	LIKE HOW WE GIVE PEOPLE A
04:40:36:00	04:40:36:00	SECOND CHANCE.
04:40:36:00	04:40:37:00	THAT CONVERSATION HAS BEEN
04:40:37:00	04:40:40:00	HAPPENING AT THE CITY FOR MANY
04:40:40:00	04:40:40:00	YEARS.
04:40:40:00	04:40:44:00	I KNOW WE HAVE HEARINGS ON ON
04:40:44:00	04:40:45:00	THAT AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE
04:40:45:00	04:40:46:00	SURE THAT WE'RE NOT HAVING
04:40:46:00	04:40:48:00	THESE CONVERSATIONS IN SILO AND
04:40:48:00	04:40:48:00	WE'RE ACTUALLY HAVING A
04:40:48:00	04:40:49:00	CONVERSATION ABOUT GIVING
04:40:49:00	04:40:51:00	PEOPLE ANOTHER BUT ALSO HAVING
04:40:51:00	04:40:54:00	THIS CONVERSATION ABOUT HAVING
04:40:54:00	04:40:55:00	SUCH STRICT PROTOCOLS ON WHO WE
04:40:55:00	04:40:59:00	CAN HIRE AND HOW.
04:40:59:00	04:40:59:00	SO I, I THINK IT'S NOT.
04:40:59:00	04:41:00:00	IT'S A CONVERSATION THAT NEEDS
04:41:00:00	04:41:03:00	TO HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME.
04:41:03:00	04:41:04:00	SO I JUST WANT TO THANK THOSE
04:41:04:00	04:41:06:00	THAT THIS FORWARD I DON'T THINK
04:41:06:00	04:41:10:00	THIS IS REALLY GETTING AT THE
04:41:10:00	04:41:10:00	CORE OF THIS IT'S ABOUT WITH
04:41:10:00	04:41:11:00	THOUSANDS OF EMPLOYEES HOW CAN
04:41:11:00	04:41:14:00	WE ENSURE THAT EVERY SINGLE ONE
04:41:14:00	04:41:14:00	OF THEM IS MEETING THE STANDARD
04:41:14:00	04:41:18:00	AND CRITERIA THAT WE WANT EVERY
04:41:18:00	04:41:18:00	CITY WORKER TO MAINTAIN?
04:41:18:00	04:41:21:00	SO THANK YOU.
04:41:21:00	04:41:25:00	THANK YOU AND I APPRECIATE MY
04:41:25:00	04:41:25:00	COLLEAGUES FOR THIS DISCUSSION.
04:41:25:00	04:41:29:00	THIS IS A ZOOM OUT DISCUSSION
04:41:29:00	04:41:29:00	THAT WILL NOT BE ABOUT ANY
04:41:29:00	04:41:33:00	INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE OR ANY
04:41:33:00	04:41:33:00	INDIVIDUAL INCIDENT INCIDENT
04:41:33:00	04:41:37:00	BUT WILL BE BROADLY ABOUT CITY
04:41:37:00	04:41:37:00	POLICY.
04:41:37:00	04:41:38:00	AND IF THAT WASN'T CLEAR AND
04:41:38:00	04:41:40:00	MAKING THAT CLEAR SO THAT IT'S
04:41:40:00	04:41:41:00	NOT GOING TO FOCUS ON ANY
04:41:41:00	04:41:43:00	INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE.
04:41:43:00	04:41:44:00	NOW FOR ANYONE WHO HAS EVER HAD
04:41:44:00	04:41:48:00	SOMETHING BREACHED YOU OFTEN
04:41:48:00	04:41:51:00	ARE YOU GET YOU GET ALERTS

04:41:55:00	04:41:58:00	COMMITTED PAST CRIMES.
04:41:58:00	04:41:59:00	AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR
04:41:59:00	04:42:03:00	US TO KNOW THAT AND IT IS A
04:42:03:00	04:42:06:00	VERY IMPORTANT CONVERSATION
04:42:06:00	04:42:07:00	THAT NEEDS TO BE HAD AND WE
04:42:07:00	04:42:10:00	REALIZE THAT NONE OF US ARE THE
04:42:10:00	04:42:11:00	WORST THINGS WE'VE EVER DONE
04:42:11:00	04:42:13:00	AND NONE OF US ARE BEST THINGS
04:42:13:00	04:42:14:00	YOU'VE EVER DONE AND THAT WHILE
04:42:14:00	04:42:17:00	WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT OUR

04:42:26:00	04:42:29:00	BALANCED AND FAIR CONVERSATION
04:42:29:00	04:42:30:00	WHICH IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT
04:42:30:00	04:42:33:00	IF WE ARE A CITY THAT BELIEVES
04:42:33:00	04:42:34:00	IN OUR RESIDENTS.
04:42:34:00	04:42:34:00	THANK YOU.

04:42:40:00	04:42:40:00	MADAM CHAIR.
04:42:40:00	04:42:43:00	I HAD A HEARING SCHEDULED ON
04:42:43:00	04:42:44:00	REENTRY AND HOW WE SUPPORT
04:42:44:00	04:42:47:00	RETURNING CITIZENS.
04:42:47:00	04:42:51:00	I HAD THE PANELISTS ALREADY
04:42:51:00	04:42:54:00	CONFIRMED AND THEN ONCE A
04:42:54:00	04:42:55:00	COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE IT
04:42:55:00	04:42:58:00	ACTUALLY WAS SCHEDULED TO TAKE
04:42:58:00	04:42:59:00	PLACE THIS LEVEL THREE SEX
04:42:59:00	04:43:03:00	OFFENDER WAS FIRED FROM HIS JOB
04:43:03:00	04:43:07:00	AND IT HIT THE MEDIA AND
04:43:07:00	04:43:10:00	BECAUSE OF THAT THE THE CHAIR
04:43:10:00	04:43:13:00	AND THE ADMINISTRATION AGREED
04:43:13:00	04:43:17:00	TO CANCEL MY HEARING BUT MY
04:43:17:00	04:43:17:00	HEARING WAS ALREADY SCHEDULED
04:43:17:00	04:43:20:00	ON SUPPORTING REENTRY
04:43:20:00	04:43:20:00	INITIATIVES.
04:43:20:00	04:43:25:00	NOT NOTHING RELATING TO THAT
04:43:25:00	04:43:28:00	THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE OF THE
04:43:28:00	04:43:29:00	LEVEL THREE SEX OFFENDER.
04:43:29:00	04:43:30:00	THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT'S
04:43:30:00	04:43:32:00	PERSONAL TO ME.
04:43:32:00	04:43:33:00	I WAS A PROBATION OFFICER AT
04:43:33:00	04:43:33:00	SUFFOLK SUPERIOR COURT.
04:43:33:00	04:43:36:00	I SUPPORTED RETURNING CITIZENS
04:43:36:00	04:43:40:00	THAT WERE COMING OUT OF JAIL OR
04:43:40:00	04:43:40:00	COMING OUT OF OUT OF PRISON AND
04:43:40:00	04:43:43:00	I HELPED THEM PERSONALLY GET
04:43:43:00	04:43:44:00	INTO DETOX.
04:43:44:00	04:43:47:00	I HELPED THEM GET INTO JOB
04:43:47:00	04:43:47:00	TRAINING PROGRAMS, INTO
04:43:47:00	04:43:47:00	RECOVERY PROGRAMS.
04:43:47:00	04:43:51:00	THAT WAS MY JOB.
04:43:51:00	04:43:52:00	THAT WAS A WHEN YOU WERE ON
04:43:52:00	04:43:55:00	PROBATION YOU SIGNED BASICALLY
04:43:55:00	04:43:55:00	A CONTRACT AND THE CONTRACT
04:43:55:00	04:43:59:00	SAYS YOU WILL PARTICIPATE IN
04:43:59:00	04:44:02:00	MANDATORY URINALYSIS TESTING.
04:44:02:00	04:44:03:00	YOU WILL GET INTO A JOB
04:44:03:00	04:44:03:00	TRAINING PROGRAM.
04:44:03:00	04:44:07:00	YOU WILL ENGAGE IN MENTAL
04:44:07:00	04:44:07:00	HEALTH COUNSELING, YOU WILL
04:44:07:00	04:44:10:00	ENGAGE IN AND GOOD MANAGEMENT
04:44:10:00	04:44:11:00	WHATEVER ISSUES IT MAY BE.
04:44:11:00	04:44:14:00	AND AS A PROBATION OFFICER IT
04:44:14:00	04:44:15:00	WAS MY JOB TO ENFORCE THE RULES
04:44:15:00	04:44:18:00	OF PROBATION BUT ALSO TO DO
04:44:18:00	04:44:19:00	WHATEVER I COULD TO HELP PEOPLE
04:44:19:00	04:44:22:00	COMING OUT OF JAIL AND IN
04:44:22:00	04:44:22:00	PRISON.
04:44:22:00	04:44:23:00	REENTRY IS AN ISSUE THAT'S
04:44:23:00	04:44:25:00	PERSONAL TO ME.
04:44:25:00	04:44:26:00	I WANTED TO GO FORWARD WITH
04:44:26:00	04:44:27:00	THAT HEARING AND IT WAS
04:44:27:00	04:44:29:00	CANCELED.
04:44:29:00	04:44:30:00	IT COULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT
04:44:30:00	04:44:33:00	CONVERSATION TO HAVE.
04:44:33:00	04:44:34:00	I REMEMBER WHEN ANDREA CAMPBELL
04:44:34:00	04:44:38:00	WAS A CITY COUNCILOR HERE WE
04:44:38:00	04:44:38:00	USED TO HAVE A HEARING AT THE
04:44:38:00	04:44:41:00	AT THE JAIL AT SUFFOLK COUNTY
04:44:41:00	04:44:45:00	WITH WITH THE PEOPLE SERVING
04:44:45:00	04:44:45:00	SERVING TIME OR AWAITING
04:44:45:00	04:44:46:00	SENTENCE OR AWAITING TRIAL I
04:44:46:00	04:44:49:00	SHOULD SAY WE WOULD HEAR
04:44:49:00	04:44:52:00	DIRECTLY FROM THEM.
04:44:52:00	04:44:53:00	BUT REENTRY IS NOT A POLITICAL
04:44:53:00	04:44:56:00	ISSUE FOR ME.
04:44:56:00	04:44:57:00	IT'S AN ISSUE I'VE WORKED ON IN
04:44:57:00	04:45:00:00	MY CAREER AND MY ENTIRE LIFE.
04:45:00:00	04:45:04:00	SO I JUST US TO I'M GOING TO
04:45:04:00	04:45:05:00	ASK MY COLLEAGUES AGAIN TO
04:45:05:00	04:45:08:00	RESCHEDULE THAT IMPORTANT
04:45:08:00	04:45:11:00	HEARING BECAUSE OF THE UPCOMING
04:45:11:00	04:45:11:00	BECAUSE OF POLITICS.
04:45:11:00	04:45:15:00	IT WAS CANCELED AND I WANT THAT
04:45:15:00	04:45:15:00	HEARING BACK ON THE BOOKS
04:45:15:00	04:45:18:00	BECAUSE RETURNING CITIZENS TO
04:45:18:00	04:45:19:00	SERVE TO BE TO BE TREATED WITH
04:45:19:00	04:45:22:00	RESPECT AND DIGNITY IT'S ABOUT
04:45:22:00	04:45:23:00	GIVING PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY
04:45:23:00	04:45:26:00	THEY MAY HAVE COMMITTED A CRIME
04:45:26:00	04:45:26:00	.
04:45:26:00	04:45:27:00	THEY MAY HAVE BEEN CONVICTED
04:45:27:00	04:45:29:00	OF A CRIME BUT THEY DESERVE A
04:45:29:00	04:45:29:00	SECOND CHANCE.
04:45:29:00	04:45:32:00	THAT'S WHAT MY PREVIOUS HEARING
04:45:32:00	04:45:33:00	IS ABOUT SEPARATE FROM THIS
04:45:33:00	04:45:37:00	CURRENT ISSUE.
04:45:37:00	04:45:37:00	WE CAN DO BOTH.
04:45:37:00	04:45:40:00	WE ALSO HAVE TO ENSURE THAT THE
04:45:40:00	04:45:41:00	CITY OF BOSTON HAS A
04:45:41:00	04:45:44:00	CONSTRUCTIVE HIRING PROCESS AND
04:45:44:00	04:45:45:00	WE DO CORRY AND BACKGROUND
04:45:45:00	04:45:48:00	CHECKS ON PEOPLE TO ENSURE THAT
04:45:48:00	04:45:49:00	PEOPLE ARE NOT WORKING IN THE
04:45:49:00	04:45:52:00	PARKS DEPARTMENT OR THE SCHOOL
04:45:52:00	04:45:52:00	DEPARTMENT THAT HAVE
04:45:52:00	04:45:56:00	CONVICTIONS FOR SEX CRIMES
04:45:56:00	04:45:56:00	OF VIOLENT CRIMES.
04:45:56:00	04:45:59:00	BUT WE CAN'T AFFORD TO BLOCK
04:45:59:00	04:46:04:00	THINGS JUST BECAUSE IT'S AN
04:46:04:00	04:46:04:00	ELECTION YEAR.
04:46:04:00	04:46:05:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

04:46:08:00	04:46:11:00	COME TO MY OFFICE WHEN I HEAR
04:46:11:00	04:46:12:00	ABOUT THINGS AFTERWARDS I CAN'T

04:46:13:00	04:46:15:00	GIVE ME A CALL.
04:46:15:00	04:46:16:00	COME TO MY OFFICE.

04:46:19:00	04:46:19:00	AND THE ADMINISTRATION TO MAKE
04:46:19:00	04:46:20:00	SURE THAT HEARINGS ARE
04:46:20:00	04:46:20:00	HAPPENING.

04:46:30:00	04:46:30:00	OF THE OFFICE OF RETURNING
04:46:30:00	04:46:34:00	CITIZENS AND NO FIRST HAND AND
04:46:34:00	04:46:36:00	VERY CLOSELY ABOUT SECOND
04:46:36:00	04:46:36:00	CHANCES AND PEOPLE FINDING A
04:46:36:00	04:46:39:00	PATH AND FOR DECADES WORKING
04:46:39:00	04:46:40:00	WITH PEOPLE IN THE
04:46:40:00	04:46:43:00	RECOVERY WORLD AND MANY TIMES
04:46:43:00	04:46:47:00	THE BIGGEST HURDLE IS WHEN YOU
04:46:47:00	04:46:47:00	FIND SOBRIETY OR YOU FIND A NEW
04:46:47:00	04:46:48:00	WAY IN YOUR LIFE.
04:46:48:00	04:46:51:00	HOW ARE YOU GOING TO FIND
04:46:51:00	04:46:51:00	EMPLOYMENT?
04:46:51:00	04:46:52:00	AND IT OFTEN IS WHAT CAUSES
04:46:52:00	04:46:54:00	PEOPLE TO RELAPSE.
04:46:54:00	04:46:57:00	SO AND I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR
04:46:57:00	04:46:58:00	AND I DO KNOW THAT BECAUSE THIS
04:46:58:00	04:47:02:00	WAS A LATE FILE MANY OF YOU
04:47:02:00	04:47:03:00	DIDN'T GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO
04:47:03:00	04:47:03:00	READ THROUGH THE HEARING ORDER
04:47:03:00	04:47:06:00	BUT IT HAD BEEN SAID A FEW
04:47:06:00	04:47:07:00	TIMES THAT THIS MAY BE IN
04:47:07:00	04:47:10:00	VIOLATION OR TRYING TO SPEAK
04:47:10:00	04:47:11:00	ABOUT INDIVIDUAL INCIDENCES
04:47:11:00	04:47:14:00	ALWAYS I HAVE THIS CONVERSATION
04:47:14:00	04:47:15:00	NOT ALWAYS BUT MANY TIMES WITH
04:47:15:00	04:47:17:00	COLLEAGUES THAT IT'S USUALLY AN
04:47:17:00	04:47:18:00	INCIDENT THAT BRINGS FORTH A
04:47:18:00	04:47:21:00	HEARING ORDER THAT IN THIS CASE
04:47:21:00	04:47:22:00	THERE WERE SEVERAL INCIDENCES
04:47:22:00	04:47:22:00	THAT WERE ALARMING.
04:47:22:00	04:47:25:00	BUT I DO JUST WANT TO GO OVER
04:47:25:00	04:47:28:00	THAT I VERY CAREFULLY WROTE
04:47:28:00	04:47:29:00	THIS HEARING ORDER THAT WHEN WE
04:47:29:00	04:47:30:00	CONVENE THIS HEARING WE WANT TO
04:47:30:00	04:47:32:00	EXAMINE RECOMMEND IMMEDIATE

04:47:44:00	04:47:47:00	OF RECENT HIRES AND IN NO WAY
04:47:47:00	04:47:48:00	WAS I INTENDING OR KNOWING THAT
04:47:48:00	04:47:51:00	WHEN THE HEARING DOES HAPPEN
04:47:51:00	04:47:52:00	AND HOPEFULLY SOON THAT WE
