00:13:37:00	00:13:37:00	PROGRESS THAT PLACE IS UNDER
00:13:37:00	00:13:41:00	QUESTION THE VERY CONCEPT
00:13:41:00	00:13:41:00	OF HUMAN AGENCY.
00:13:41:00	00:13:44:00	BUT IN SOMETHING MORE PROFOUND

00:14:10:00	00:14:11:00	CONVERTED INTO AN AUTONOMOUS
00:14:11:00	00:14:14:00	UNIT THAT CLAIMS ITS WELL-BEING
00:14:14:00	00:14:15:00	AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS AND
00:14:15:00	00:14:18:00	OF THE NATURAL WORLD.
00:14:18:00	00:14:18:00	INTEGRATION IS THE PURSUIT
00:14:18:00	00:14:21:00	OF WHOLENESS IN EVERY ENDEAVOR
00:14:21:00	00:14:22:00	WHETHER OF PEACEMAKING,
00:14:22:00	00:14:26:00	JUSTICE, RESTORATION OR HEALING
00:14:26:00	00:14:26:00	REINTEGRATION IS THE CORRECTIVE
00:14:26:00	00:14:30:00	MEASURE NECESSITATED BY THE
00:14:30:00	00:14:30:00	BREAKDOWN OF OUR HUMANITY WHICH

00:14:33:00	00:14:34:00	DEGRADATION OF OUR ENVIRONMENT
00:14:34:00	00:14:37:00	OF ALL IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
00:14:37:00	00:14:38:00	THOSE WHO DO NOT CARE FOR THEIR

00:14:42:00	00:14:46:00	OR THEIR COMMUNITY.
00:14:46:00	00:14:46:00	THIS IS WHY WE ARE NOW RAISING
00:14:46:00	00:14:49:00	OUR HANDS IN PRAYER TO GOD AND
00:14:49:00	00:14:50:00	SAY LORD JESUS CHRIST OUR GOD

00:38:34:00	00:38:37:00	A NEED FOR THEIR LICENSE.
00:38:37:00	00:38:38:00	IT WOULD RETURN TO THE POOL
00:38:38:00	00:38:40:00	FROM WHICH IT ORIGINATED FROM.
00:38:40:00	00:38:41:00	THE ADMINISTRATION PLEDGED
00:38:41:00	00:38:41:00	THEIR COMMITMENT TO EXPEDITING

00:38:52:00	00:38:52:00	INFORMED ABOUT THE OPTIONS
00:38:52:00	00:38:55:00	AVAILABLE TO THEM.
00:38:55:00	00:38:56:00	PUBLIC TESTIMONY WAS RECEIVED
00:38:56:00	00:38:59:00	IN SUPPORT OF THE LOCAL OPTIONS
00:38:59:00	00:38:59:00	OPTION WITH BUSINESSES
00:38:59:00	00:39:00:00	TESTIFYING TO THE POSITIVE
00:39:00:00	00:39:03:00	IMPACT AND ALL ALCOHOL LICENSE

00:39:04:00	00:39:07:00	CONCERNS WERE RAISED ABOUT THE
00:39:07:00	00:39:07:00	LIMITATIONS OF THE LOCAL OPTION
00:39:07:00	00:39:10:00	TO NONTRANSFERABLE ALL ALCOHOL
00:39:10:00	00:39:11:00	LICENSES WHILE THE LOCAL OPTION
00:39:11:00	00:39:14:00	DOES NOT ALLOW THE CITY TO
00:39:14:00	00:39:14:00	ALTER THOSE TERMS.
00:39:14:00	00:39:15:00	THE COMMITTEE DISCUSSED WITH

00:39:19:00	00:39:22:00	LICENSE HELD AS AN ASSET UNDER
00:39:22:00	00:39:22:00	THESE CONDITIONS SUCH AS

00:39:26:00	00:39:27:00	AT THE STATE LEVEL.
00:39:27:00	00:39:30:00	THE LOCAL OPTION PROVIDES AN
00:39:30:00	00:39:31:00	IMMENSE NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR
00:39:31:00	00:39:34:00	BUSINESSES TO EXPAND THEIR

00:39:39:00	00:39:42:00	WHICH WERE RARELY AVAILABLE.
00:39:42:00	00:39:43:00	THE LOCAL OPTION REASONABLY
00:39:43:00	00:39:46:00	EXPANDS OPPORTUNITY TO SMALL

00:39:47:00	00:39:50:00	MARGINS AND COMPETE IN THE
00:39:50:00	00:39:51:00	INDUSTRY BUT DOES NOT TAKE AWAY

00:51:23:00	00:51:24:00	VETERANS AS A PROTECTED CLASS.
00:51:24:00	00:51:27:00	THEY ARE CLASSIFIED AS A
00:51:27:00	00:51:31:00	PROTECTED CLASS AND I WANT TO
00:51:31:00	00:51:32:00	MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE ADDED
00:51:32:00	00:51:35:00	INTO THIS CONVERSATION IF THEY

00:51:36:00	00:51:39:00	WILL WILL SUPPORT THIS.
00:51:39:00	00:51:40:00	BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE A POINT
00:51:40:00	00:51:42:00	THAT VETERANS ARE A PROTECTED
00:51:42:00	00:51:43:00	CLASS AND AT TIMES THEY ARE NOT
00:51:43:00	00:51:46:00	INCLUDED LIKE THEY SHOULD BE
00:51:46:00	00:51:47:00	UNDER THE LAW.

00:52:13:00	00:52:13:00	JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT IT
00:52:13:00	00:52:14:00	WAS MENTIONED MANY, MANY TIMES
00:52:14:00	00:52:16:00	IN THIS HEARING THAT THE
00:52:16:00	00:52:19:00	ENABLING LEGISLATION WAS PASSED
00:52:19:00	00:52:20:00	IN 1983 AND AS IT STANDS NOW,

00:52:23:00	00:52:23:00	ELDERLY, THE DISABLED, LOW AND
00:52:23:00	00:52:27:00	MODERATE INCOME POPULATIONS.
00:52:27:00	00:52:27:00	SO IF WE WANT TO INCLUDE
00:52:27:00	00:52:28:00	VETERANS WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT
00:52:28:00	00:52:30:00	FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN, FOLKS
00:52:30:00	00:52:31:00	THAT HAVE BEEN IN A UNIT FOR

00:52:32:00	00:52:34:00	POTENTIALLY EVEN UNDOCUMENTED
00:52:34:00	00:52:34:00	FOLKS.
00:52:34:00	00:52:35:00	SOME OF THEM ARE PART OF THAT
00:52:35:00	00:52:38:00	BROADER UMBRELLA OF FOLKS WHO

00:52:42:00	00:52:43:00	VETERANS AND OTHERS.
00:52:43:00	00:52:45:00	BUT IF WE WANT TO DO THAT,
00:52:45:00	00:52:46:00	THERE'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE AN
00:52:46:00	00:52:46:00	ACCOMPANYING PIECE
00:52:46:00	00:52:47:00	OF LEGISLATION.

00:52:50:00	00:52:50:00	ORDINANCE.
00:52:50:00	00:52:50:00	SO I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR
00:52:50:00	00:52:51:00	ABOUT THAT.

00:55:10:00	00:55:10:00	FLOOR.
00:55:10:00	00:55:13:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
00:55:13:00	00:55:14:00	I WANT TO RECOGNIZE AND SAY
00:55:14:00	00:55:16:00	THANK YOU TO COUNCILOR SANTANA
00:55:16:00	00:55:17:00	FOR CONDUCTING AND SHARING AN
00:55:17:00	00:55:23:00	IMPORTANT DISCUSSION ABOUT
00:55:23:00	00:55:24:00	EMERGENCY 911 OPERATIONS AT THE
00:55:24:00	00:55:27:00	FIRE DEPARTMENT AT THE BOSTON
00:55:27:00	00:55:28:00	POLICE DEPARTMENT AT BOSTON
00:55:28:00	00:55:31:00	EMERGENCY MEDICAL AS WELL.
00:55:31:00	00:55:32:00	AT THIS HEARING WE LEARNED A
00:55:32:00	00:55:35:00	LOT ABOUT HOW THESE THREE
00:55:35:00	00:55:36:00	DEPARTMENTS INTERACT WITH EACH
00:55:36:00	00:55:39:00	OTHER DURING A PROBLEM DURING A
00:55:39:00	00:55:43:00	CRISIS BUT ALSO HOW THEY ARE
00:55:43:00	00:55:44:00	OVERCOME OR HOW THEY'RE ABLE TO
00:55:44:00	00:55:48:00	OVERCOME OBSTACLES IN THEIR
00:55:48:00	00:55:48:00	WAY.
00:55:48:00	00:55:51:00	ONE OF THE ISSUES I FOCUSED ON
00:55:51:00	00:55:54:00	AS A DISTRICT CITY COUNCILOR IS
00:55:54:00	00:55:54:00	DURING AN EMERGENCY OR WHEN
00:55:54:00	00:55:58:00	TECHNOLOGY DOES BREAK DOWN HOW
00:55:58:00	00:55:58:00	DO WE COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY
00:55:58:00	00:56:01:00	WITH NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING
00:56:01:00	00:56:01:00	RESIDENTS SPECIFICALLY
00:56:01:00	00:56:05:00	CANTONESE SPEAKING RESIDENTS
00:56:05:00	00:56:05:00	BECAUSE I REPRESENT THE LARGE
00:56:05:00	00:56:06:00	CANTONESE COMMUNITY.
00:56:06:00	00:56:09:00	I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT MY
00:56:09:00	00:56:12:00	CONSTITUENTS ARE PART OF THE
00:56:12:00	00:56:13:00	DISCUSSION, PART OF THE PROCESS
00:56:13:00	00:56:16:00	AND I HIGHLIGHTED THE
00:56:16:00	00:56:17:00	IMPORTANCE OF WHEN THERE IS A
00:56:17:00	00:56:20:00	BREAKDOWN IN COMMUNICATION THAT
00:56:20:00	00:56:21:00	IS IT IS IMPORTANT TO INTERACT
00:56:21:00	00:56:24:00	WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT GROUPS
00:56:24:00	00:56:27:00	THAT MAY NOT SPEAK ENGLISH,
00:56:27:00	00:56:27:00	SPANISH SPEAKING CANTONESE,
00:56:27:00	00:56:31:00	OTHERS VIETNAMESE.
00:56:31:00	00:56:32:00	BUT I ALSO HIGHLIGHTED THAT
00:56:32:00	00:56:34:00	IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT
00:56:34:00	00:56:35:00	RESIDENTS THAT MIGHT NOT HAVE
00:56:35:00	00:56:39:00	THE NECESSARY TECHNOLOGY LIKE
00:56:39:00	00:56:40:00	LIKE WE ARE SO FORTUNATE TO
00:56:40:00	00:56:43:00	HAVE MANY RESIDENTS IN PUBLIC
00:56:43:00	00:56:46:00	HOUSING ALSO DESERVE TO BE PART
00:56:46:00	00:56:47:00	OF THIS PROCESS AND DISCUSSION.
00:56:47:00	00:56:50:00	AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO
00:56:50:00	00:56:50:00	COUNCILOR SANTANA FOR ENSURING
00:56:50:00	00:56:53:00	THAT THAT IS PART OF THE
00:56:53:00	00:56:54:00	DISCUSSION AND THAT'S THAT'S
00:56:54:00	00:56:57:00	WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME IS
00:56:57:00	00:56:58:00	MAKING SURE THAT RESIDENTS THAT
00:56:58:00	00:57:01:00	REALLY DON'T HAVE A VOICE ARE
00:57:01:00	00:57:05:00	ABLE TO WEIGH IN ON EMERGENCY
00:57:05:00	00:57:05:00	INTERACT WITH THE POLICE, FIRE
00:57:05:00	00:57:09:00	AND EMS.
00:57:09:00	00:57:09:00	WE ALSO HIGHLIGHTED THE
00:57:09:00	00:57:12:00	IMPORTANCE OF THE BOSTON FIRE
00:57:12:00	00:57:16:00	DEPARTMENT CALL BOX THAT YOU
00:57:16:00	00:57:16:00	SEE AT VARIOUS NEIGHBORHOODS
00:57:16:00	00:57:19:00	ACROSS THE CITY.
00:57:19:00	00:57:20:00	IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY AND
00:57:20:00	00:57:23:00	YOU CAN'T USE YOUR PHONE OR THE
00:57:23:00	00:57:24:00	PHONE SYSTEM IS DOWN, YOU ALSO
00:57:24:00	00:57:27:00	CAN PULL THE BOX AND THERE WILL
00:57:27:00	00:57:28:00	BE AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE FROM
00:57:28:00	00:57:31:00	THE BOSTON FIRE.
00:57:31:00	00:57:31:00	THAT'S THAT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW
00:57:31:00	00:57:34:00	ESPECIALLY WHEN WE SEE
00:57:34:00	00:57:35:00	ACCIDENTS AS WELL.
00:57:35:00	00:57:38:00	IT MAY SEEM LIKE OBSOLETE
00:57:38:00	00:57:39:00	TECHNOLOGY BUT IT'S CRITICAL.
00:57:39:00	00:57:39:00	IT'S IMPORTANT.
00:57:39:00	00:57:43:00	IT NEEDS TO STAY.
00:57:43:00	00:57:44:00	WE NEED TO SUPPORT FORT BOSTON
00:57:44:00	00:57:47:00	FIREMEN AND WE NEED TO SUPPORT
00:57:47:00	00:57:49:00	ALL OUR 9114 FIRST RESPONDERS

00:57:52:00	00:57:53:00	FIRE, BOSTON POLICE, EMS IN MY
00:57:53:00	00:57:56:00	OPINION THEY ARE UNSUNG HEROES
00:57:56:00	00:57:57:00	IN THE CITY OF BOSTON.

01:07:10:00	01:07:13:00	IMPORTANT DOCKET.
01:07:13:00	01:07:13:00	HOUSING UNITS CONTINUE TO BE IN
01:07:13:00	01:07:14:00	DEMAND AND TO USE OUR JUST
01:07:14:00	01:07:16:00	ANOTHER TOOL IN MEETING OUR
01:07:16:00	01:07:17:00	STEEP HOUSING NEEDS.
01:07:17:00	01:07:18:00	LEGALIZING IT TO USE IS JUST
01:07:18:00	01:07:20:00	ANOTHER WAY WE CAN MAKE IT
01:07:20:00	01:07:21:00	EASIER TO INCREASE OUR HOUSING
01:07:21:00	01:07:24:00	SUPPLY NOT ONLY DO ANY USE
01:07:24:00	01:07:25:00	BRING MORE UNIT TO THE HOUSING
01:07:25:00	01:07:25:00	MARKET.
01:07:25:00	01:07:27:00	IT GIVES A CHANCE FOR RESIDENTS
01:07:27:00	01:07:28:00	TO HAVE THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS
01:07:28:00	01:07:28:00	CLOSE TO THEM.
01:07:28:00	01:07:31:00	I THOUGHT THE BIGGEST PUSH TO
01:07:31:00	01:07:32:00	LEGALIZE OR STREAMLINE THE
01:07:32:00	01:07:33:00	PROCESS IS FOR FAMILIES TO
01:07:33:00	01:07:35:00	ACCOMMODATE AGING PARENTS OR
01:07:35:00	01:07:36:00	CHILDREN IN NEED OF A SAFE
01:07:36:00	01:07:36:00	HOME.
01:07:36:00	01:07:40:00	ALVIN I HAVE A RESIDENT IN HIGH
01:07:40:00	01:07:40:00	PARK.
01:07:40:00	01:07:41:00	SHE IS A SINGLE MOTHER WHO HAS
01:07:41:00	01:07:43:00	BEEN STRUGGLING WITH THE ZBA
01:07:43:00	01:07:44:00	PROCESS AND IT DEMANDS ON HER
01:07:44:00	01:07:47:00	TIME AND WALLET HAVE BEEN
01:07:47:00	01:07:47:00	CRUCIAL.
01:07:47:00	01:07:51:00	AS A SINGLE MOTHER WHO ALSO
01:07:51:00	01:07:51:00	HOUSES HER PARENTS IN 80, YOU
01:07:51:00	01:07:52:00	WOULD BE A HUGE HELP TO HER
01:07:52:00	01:07:55:00	FAMILY ALONG WITH HER CHILDREN
01:07:55:00	01:07:56:00	WHO ARE NOW YOUNG ADULTS TO
01:07:56:00	01:07:59:00	STAY AT HOME IN THEIR OWN
01:07:59:00	01:07:59:00	UNITS.
01:07:59:00	01:08:00:00	LEGALIZING THESE UNITS IS A
01:08:00:00	01:08:00:00	GREAT IDEA AND I LOOK FORWARD
01:08:00:00	01:08:02:00	TO THE HEARING.
01:08:02:00	01:08:03:00	I ALSO WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT

01:08:08:00	01:08:11:00	NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL THE
01:08:11:00	01:08:11:00	ADVOCATES THAT REALLY PUSH FOR
01:08:11:00	01:08:11:00	THIS.
01:08:11:00	01:08:14:00	WE ARE SEEING THE RESULTS IN MY
01:08:14:00	01:08:15:00	OPINION AND IT'S A HUGE BENEFIT
01:08:15:00	01:08:18:00	THAT I THINK THE ENTIRE CITY
01:08:18:00	01:08:19:00	CAN REALLY BENEFIT FROM.
01:08:19:00	01:08:19:00	THANK YOU.
01:08:19:00	01:08:19:00	THANK YOU.
01:08:19:00	01:08:22:00	I AGREE AND I WAS VERY HAPPY TO
01:08:22:00	01:08:22:00	SUPPORT PLANNED MATTAPAN FOR
01:08:22:00	01:08:25:00	THAT VERY REASON ESPECIALLY FOR
01:08:25:00	01:08:26:00	A PLACE THAT HAS SUCH HIGH
01:08:26:00	01:08:26:00	BLACK HOMEOWNERSHIP THAT WE
01:08:26:00	01:08:29:00	WANT TO PRESERVE AND EXACTLY
01:08:29:00	01:08:30:00	WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT MAKING SURE
01:08:30:00	01:08:30:00	THAT OUR SENIORS HAVE SOMEWHERE
01:08:30:00	01:08:30:00	TO LIVE.
01:08:30:00	01:08:34:00	SO I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
01:08:34:00	01:08:34:00	ELEVATING THAT.

01:08:34:00	01:08:36:00	AND HAVE THE FLOOR.
01:08:36:00	01:08:37:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR AND I'M
01:08:37:00	01:08:40:00	GOING TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS
01:08:40:00	01:08:41:00	UPCOMING HEARING WHEN IT DOES
01:08:41:00	01:08:41:00	TAKE PLACE.
01:08:41:00	01:08:45:00	I WOULD ASK IF WE WERE ABLE TO
01:08:45:00	01:08:46:00	INCLUDE THE BOSTON FIRE
01:08:46:00	01:08:48:00	DEPARTMENT AND SOMEONE FROM
01:08:48:00	01:08:49:00	INSPECTIONAL SERVICES AS WELL.
01:08:49:00	01:08:52:00	I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF
01:08:52:00	01:08:55:00	WE DO PASS THIS THAT IT DOES
01:08:55:00	01:08:56:00	RECEIVE THE APPROVAL OF THE
01:08:56:00	01:08:59:00	BOSTON FIRE DEPARTMENT WITH
01:08:59:00	01:09:02:00	THESE POTENTIAL NEW UNITS.
01:09:02:00	01:09:06:00	MY CONCERN IS ARE WE ALWAYS
01:09:06:00	01:09:07:00	GOING TO HAVE TWO WAYS FOR
01:09:07:00	01:09:08:00	SOMEONE TO GET OUT OF A
01:09:08:00	01:09:11:00	PARTICULAR MAYBE A BASEMENT
01:09:11:00	01:09:15:00	BASEMENT APARTMENT OR, A SAFE
01:09:15:00	01:09:16:00	WAY IN TERMS OF A SAFE
01:09:16:00	01:09:19:00	ENVIRONMENT FOR FIRE CODES?
01:09:19:00	01:09:20:00	I THINK WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT
01:09:20:00	01:09:23:00	WE CAN'T WATER DOWN ANY CODES
01:09:23:00	01:09:27:00	THAT PROTECT RESIDENTS IN THEIR
01:09:27:00	01:09:27:00	SAFETY IN AN APARTMENT OR IN A
01:09:27:00	01:09:27:00	HOUSE.
01:09:27:00	01:09:31:00	BUT FIRE CODES AND INSPECTIONAL
01:09:31:00	01:09:34:00	CODES ARE THERE FOR A
01:09:34:00	01:09:34:00	PARTICULAR REASON AND THAT'S
01:09:34:00	01:09:38:00	THE SAFETY OF THOSE IN THE
01:09:38:00	01:09:38:00	BUILDING AND FOR NEIGHBORS
01:09:38:00	01:09:39:00	ALIKE.
01:09:39:00	01:09:39:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
01:09:39:00	01:09:39:00	THANK YOU.
01:09:39:00	01:09:40:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
01:09:40:00	01:09:41:00	COUNCILOR DURKIN.
01:09:41:00	01:09:44:00	YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
01:09:44:00	01:09:45:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH, MADAM CHAIR.
01:09:45:00	01:09:48:00	I JUST WANT TO SAY I'M IN FULL
01:09:48:00	01:09:48:00	SUPPORT OF THIS CONVERSATION.
01:09:48:00	01:09:49:00	I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT
01:09:49:00	01:09:52:00	WE HAVE IT.
01:09:52:00	01:09:52:00	IT IS NOT A NEW IDEA.
01:09:52:00	01:09:53:00	IT IS AN OLD IDEA.
01:09:53:00	01:09:56:00	IT'S ACTUALLY IN SOME OF THE
01:09:56:00	01:09:57:00	ORIGINAL BACK BAY ZONING BUT
01:09:57:00	01:10:00:00	THEY ALLOWED FOR 80 USE FOR
01:10:00:00	01:10:01:00	PEOPLE THAT WERE WORKING IN THE
01:10:01:00	01:10:04:00	HOME SO ESSENTIALLY IF SOMEBODY
01:10:04:00	01:10:05:00	WAS WORKING AT THAT HOME THEY
01:10:05:00	01:10:08:00	ALLOWED FOR THAT AND THE ZONING
01:10:08:00	01:10:08:00	CODE OBVIOUSLY IS EXTREMELY
01:10:08:00	01:10:12:00	OUTDATED SO IN PARTS OF THE
01:10:12:00	01:10:13:00	BACK BAY ZONING, YOU KNOW IT
01:10:13:00	01:10:17:00	ALLOWS FOR IT TO USE IN CERTAIN
01:10:17:00	01:10:17:00	INSTANCES.
01:10:17:00	01:10:20:00	IT'S IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE BE
01:10:20:00	01:10:21:00	ABLE TO MAINTAIN THEIR PROPERTY
01:10:21:00	01:10:21:00	VALUES.
01:10:21:00	01:10:24:00	IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THERE'S SO
01:10:24:00	01:10:25:00	MANY ASPECTS TO THIS
01:10:25:00	01:10:27:00	CONVERSATION BUT ONE THING THAT
01:10:27:00	01:10:28:00	HITS HOME FOR ME IS OBVIOUSLY
01:10:28:00	01:10:31:00	THE COST OF HOUSING RIGHT NOW.
01:10:31:00	01:10:32:00	THIS CONVERSATION REALLY ISN'T
01:10:32:00	01:10:35:00	ABOUT JUST OF DATE SO THAT'S
01:10:35:00	01:10:36:00	WHY I DIDN'T ASK TO BE THE
01:10:36:00	01:10:36:00	THIRD.
01:10:36:00	01:10:39:00	BUT I WOULD LOVE TO BE THE
01:10:39:00	01:10:40:00	THIRD IF THERE IS STILL ROOM.
01:10:40:00	01:10:42:00	I DO THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT
01:10:42:00	01:10:43:00	THAT WE THIS CONVERSATION ISN'T
01:10:43:00	01:10:44:00	JUST ABOUT TO START SEARCH
01:10:44:00	01:10:46:00	ENGINES ABOUT THE ENTIRE CITY
01:10:46:00	01:10:46:00	AND IT'S ABOUT PEOPLE REALLY
01:10:46:00	01:10:50:00	BEING ABLE TO MAKE SOMETHING
01:10:50:00	01:10:51:00	AND AND HAVE PEOPLE LIVE WITH
01:10:51:00	01:10:52:00	THEM AND AND I THINK IT'S A
01:10:52:00	01:10:54:00	REALLY IMPORTANT TOOL.
01:10:54:00	01:10:57:00	AS YOU ALL KNOW, THIS HAS BEEN
01:10:57:00	01:10:58:00	ALLOWED STATEWIDE BUT THE
01:10:58:00	01:11:02:00	STATEWIDE DOESN'T OVERRIDE OUR
01:11:02:00	01:11:02:00	ZONING CODE.

01:17:45:00	01:17:45:00	RECOVERY WORKS.
01:17:45:00	01:17:48:00	I'VE HELPED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE
01:17:48:00	01:17:49:00	AS A PROBATION OFFICER.
01:17:49:00	01:17:52:00	I'M NOT GIVING UP ON THEM.
01:17:52:00	01:17:53:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
01:17:53:00	01:17:53:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES KINDS
01:17:53:00	01:17:54:00	OF MURPHY HAD THE FLOOR.
01:17:54:00	01:17:56:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
01:17:56:00	01:17:56:00	AND THANK YOU, COUNSELOR FLYNN
01:17:56:00	01:18:01:00	FOR ADDING ME AS A LEAD SPONSOR
01:18:01:00	01:18:02:00	.
01:18:02:00	01:18:03:00	OUR CITY IS AT A BREAKING POINT
01:18:03:00	01:18:06:00	IN ADDRESSING THE ADDICTION
01:18:06:00	01:18:06:00	CRISIS AND THE LAST THING
01:18:06:00	01:18:07:00	BOSTON NEEDS IS THE
01:18:07:00	01:18:09:00	LEGALIZATION OF A SAFE
01:18:09:00	01:18:10:00	INJECTION SITE.
01:18:10:00	01:18:10:00	ON SEPTEMBER 15, THE
01:18:10:00	01:18:13:00	MASSACHUSETTS JOINT COMMITTEE
01:18:13:00	01:18:14:00	ON MENTAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE USE
01:18:14:00	01:18:18:00	AND RECOVERY HELD A HEARING ON
01:18:18:00	01:18:19:00	BILL S1 393 WHICH WOULD
01:18:19:00	01:18:22:00	AUTHORIZE SAFE INJECTION SITES
01:18:22:00	01:18:22:00	.
01:18:22:00	01:18:23:00	THIS IS THE WRONG DIRECTION FOR
01:18:23:00	01:18:26:00	BOSTON AND FOR THE COMMONWEALTH
01:18:26:00	01:18:26:00	.
01:18:26:00	01:18:27:00	NEIGHBORS ACROSS OUR CITY HAVE
01:18:27:00	01:18:30:00	BEEN VERY CLEAR THEY ARE LIVING
01:18:30:00	01:18:30:00	WITH THE DAILY CONSEQUENCES
01:18:30:00	01:18:34:00	OF UNCHECKED OPEN AIR DRUG USE.
01:18:34:00	01:18:34:00	FAMILIES FIND NEEDLES IN THEIR
01:18:34:00	01:18:38:00	YARDS, PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS.
01:18:38:00	01:18:39:00	SMALL BUSINESSES FACE BREAK INS
01:18:39:00	01:18:42:00	IN TRESPASSING.
01:18:42:00	01:18:42:00	RESIDENTS ARE FEARFUL AND
01:18:42:00	01:18:45:00	FRUSTRATED AND THEY ARE CALLING
01:18:45:00	01:18:46:00	ON US FOR SOLUTIONS.
01:18:46:00	01:18:49:00	JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND AT THE
01:18:49:00	01:18:50:00	POLISH FESTIVAL I DID NEED TO
01:18:50:00	01:18:53:00	MAKE A CALL TO THE OUTREACH
01:18:53:00	01:18:54:00	TEAM BECAUSE IN THE FIELD WHERE
01:18:54:00	01:18:55:00	THERE WERE HUNDREDS
01:18:55:00	01:18:57:00	OF NEIGHBORS KIDS FAMILIES
01:18:57:00	01:18:58:00	PLAYING IN THE GRASS THERE WERE
01:18:58:00	01:18:59:00	SEVERAL NEEDLES IN THE PARK
01:18:59:00	01:19:01:00	RIGHT THERE.
01:19:01:00	01:19:02:00	EARLIER THIS MONTH AT A
01:19:02:00	01:19:05:00	COUNCIL HEARING HELD ON SITE AT
01:19:05:00	01:19:06:00	THE HAMPTON INN NEAR MASS
01:19:06:00	01:19:08:00	CASTLE, NEARLY 200 RESIDENTS
01:19:08:00	01:19:09:00	AND STAKEHOLDERS SPOKE DIRECTLY
01:19:09:00	01:19:12:00	ABOUT THESE CHALLENGES.
01:19:12:00	01:19:12:00	THE OVERWHELMING MESSAGE WAS
01:19:12:00	01:19:15:00	THAT BOSTON DOES NOT NEED SAFE
01:19:15:00	01:19:16:00	INJECTION SITES.
01:19:16:00	01:19:19:00	WE NEED REAL
01:19:19:00	01:19:19:00	RECOVERY OPPORTUNITIES.
01:19:19:00	01:19:22:00	ACCOUNTABILITY IN A TREATMENT
01:19:22:00	01:19:22:00	FIRST APPROACH.
01:19:22:00	01:19:23:00	BOSTON ALREADY HAS SOME OF THE
01:19:23:00	01:19:26:00	MOST EXTENSIVE HARM REDUCTION
01:19:26:00	01:19:27:00	PROGRAMS IN THE COUNTRY.
01:19:27:00	01:19:30:00	EACH YEAR TENS OF THOUSANDS
01:19:30:00	01:19:31:00	OF SYRINGES AND EVEN CRACK IN
01:19:31:00	01:19:33:00	METH PIPE KITS ARE DISTRIBUTED
01:19:33:00	01:19:34:00	AS PART OF LOW THRESHOLD
01:19:34:00	01:19:34:00	OUTREACH.
01:19:34:00	01:19:38:00	YET DESPITE THIS, OUR
01:19:38:00	01:19:39:00	NEIGHBORHOODS ARE OVERWHELMED
01:19:39:00	01:19:39:00	BY DISCARDED NEEDLES AND
01:19:39:00	01:19:42:00	CONTINUED DRUG ACTIVITY.
01:19:42:00	01:19:42:00	EXPANDING THIS MODEL INTO
01:19:42:00	01:19:45:00	SANCTIONED SITES FOR INJECTION
01:19:45:00	01:19:46:00	WILL ONLY DEEPEN THE CYCLE
01:19:46:00	01:19:47:00	OF ADDICTION AND FURTHER
01:19:47:00	01:19:50:00	DISTURBED ALLIES OUR
01:19:50:00	01:19:50:00	COMMUNITIES.
01:19:50:00	01:19:51:00	THE ANSWER IS NOT TO NORMALIZE
01:19:51:00	01:19:54:00	OR INCENTIVIZE DRUG USE.
01:19:54:00	01:19:55:00	THE ANSWER IS TO PRIORITIZE A
01:19:55:00	01:19:58:00	RECOVERY CAMPUS, EXPAND
01:19:58:00	01:19:59:00	TREATMENT ACCESS AND MAKE SURE
01:19:59:00	01:20:00:00	PEOPLE STRUGGLING WITH
01:20:00:00	01:20:03:00	SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER HAVE A
01:20:03:00	01:20:04:00	REAL PATHWAY OUT OF ADDICTION.
01:20:04:00	01:20:07:00	AT THE SAME TIME, WE MUST STAND
01:20:07:00	01:20:07:00	WITH THE RESIDENTS, FAMILIES
01:20:07:00	01:20:11:00	AND SMALL BUSINESSES WHO ARE
01:20:11:00	01:20:11:00	BEARING THE BURDEN OF THIS
01:20:11:00	01:20:12:00	CRISIS EVERY DAY.
01:20:12:00	01:20:15:00	FOR ALL OF THESE REASONS I URGE
01:20:15:00	01:20:15:00	MY COLLEAGUES TO JOIN ME IN
01:20:15:00	01:20:18:00	OPPOSING THE PLACEMENT OF SAFE
01:20:18:00	01:20:19:00	INJECTION SITES IN BOSTON AND
01:20:19:00	01:20:22:00	TO SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE THAT WE
01:20:22:00	01:20:22:00	ARE COMMITTED TO RECOVERY.
01:20:22:00	01:20:26:00	SAFETY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
01:20:26:00	01:20:26:00	THANK YOU.
01:20:26:00	01:20:27:00	DID YOU RECOGNIZE THIS
01:20:27:00	01:20:29:00	COUNCIL MAJORITY ON THE FLOOR?
01:20:29:00	01:20:29:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
01:20:29:00	01:20:33:00	IN BROACHING THIS ISSUE IT'S
01:20:33:00	01:20:33:00	ALWAYS GOOD TO LEAD WITH THAT.
01:20:33:00	01:20:36:00	WE ARE HERE IN COMPASSION
01:20:36:00	01:20:37:00	EMBASSY AND COMING UP WITH
01:20:37:00	01:20:38:00	SOLUTIONS THAT CAN HELP THOSE
01:20:38:00	01:20:41:00	ADDICTED AND THOSE WHOSE
01:20:41:00	01:20:41:00	QUALITY OF LIFE IS AFFECTED.
01:20:41:00	01:20:45:00	AND ACHIEVING THAT BALANCE
01:20:45:00	01:20:45:00	BETWEEN THE TWO.
01:20:45:00	01:20:47:00	WE KNOW THAT CURRENTLY BILL HAS
01:20:47:00	01:20:48:00	1393 AN ACT RELATIVE TO
01:20:48:00	01:20:49:00	PREVENTING OVERDOSE DEATHS AND
01:20:49:00	01:20:52:00	INCREASE IN ACCESS TO TREATMENT
01:20:52:00	01:20:53:00	IS UP AT THE STATE HOUSE AND
01:20:53:00	01:20:55:00	HAD A HEARING RECENTLY.
01:20:55:00	01:20:56:00	WELL I DON'T KNOW THE TIMELINE
01:20:56:00	01:20:57:00	OF THAT BILL IN ITS SPECIFIC
01:20:57:00	01:20:59:00	COMMITTEE AND I DO BELIEVE
01:20:59:00	01:21:00:00	THERE WILL BE SOME TIME.
01:21:00:00	01:21:03:00	THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS WITH
01:21:03:00	01:21:03:00	THE PORTION OF IT SUCH AS
01:21:03:00	01:21:04:00	ALLOWING THE USE OF SARS WHICH
01:21:04:00	01:21:07:00	IS INCLUDED IN THE BILL TO MOVE
01:21:07:00	01:21:08:00	FORWARD BEFORE WE TAKE THAT
01:21:08:00	01:21:08:00	STEP.
01:21:08:00	01:21:11:00	I WOULD PREFER TO FOCUS ON
01:21:11:00	01:21:12:00	FILLING IN THE GAPS OF THE
01:21:12:00	01:21:15:00	CONTINUUM OF CARE, FOCUS ON THE
01:21:15:00	01:21:15:00	RECOVERY AND THE PUBLIC SAFETY
01:21:15:00	01:21:18:00	ASPECTS OF THESE ISSUES.
01:21:18:00	01:21:19:00	THERE ARE STEPS TO TAKE TO SAVE
01:21:19:00	01:21:20:00	LIVES THAT CAN BE MADE WITH THE
01:21:20:00	01:21:22:00	RIGHT INVESTMENTS ALONG THE
01:21:22:00	01:21:23:00	CONTINUUM OF CARE BEFORE WE
01:21:23:00	01:21:26:00	ALLOW FOR SPACES TO CONSUME
01:21:26:00	01:21:26:00	ILLEGAL DRUGS.
01:21:26:00	01:21:27:00	I CO-CHAIR A WORKING GROUP
01:21:27:00	01:21:31:00	ALONG WITH REPRESENTATIVE JOHN
01:21:31:00	01:21:31:00	MORAN, KELLY YOUNG TO SULLIVAN
01:21:31:00	01:21:35:00	OF NEWMARKET AND STEVE FOX
01:21:35:00	01:21:35:00	OF THE SOUTH END FORUM THAT
01:21:35:00	01:21:38:00	WILL PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS
01:21:38:00	01:21:38:00	AROUND RECOVERY, PUBLIC SAFETY
01:21:38:00	01:21:39:00	AND JUDICIAL REFORM.
01:21:39:00	01:21:42:00	AGAIN, THOSE THREE BUCKETS ARE
01:21:42:00	01:21:42:00	RECOVERY, PUBLIC SAFETY AND
01:21:42:00	01:21:45:00	JUDICIAL REFORM THAT AGAIN
01:21:45:00	01:21:45:00	SHOULD BE THE FOCUS
01:21:45:00	01:21:49:00	OF ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE WITH
01:21:49:00	01:21:49:00	EMPATHY AND COMPASSION.
01:21:49:00	01:21:52:00	AS COUNCILOR FLYNN SAID,
01:21:52:00	01:21:53:00	PHILADELPHIA ONCE SET TO BE THE
01:21:53:00	01:21:56:00	FIRST CITY IN THE U.S. TO OPEN
01:21:56:00	01:21:57:00	IN SRF JUST LAST WEEK THAT AN
01:21:57:00	01:22:00:00	ALL BUT TOTAL BAN.
01:22:00:00	01:22:00:00	SAN FRANCISCO ITSELF IS CLAWING
01:22:00:00	01:22:01:00	THESE SERVICES BACK GIVEN ITS
01:22:01:00	01:22:04:00	RECENT ISSUES.
01:22:04:00	01:22:05:00	SO I THINK THERE'S ALSO TIME TO
01:22:05:00	01:22:06:00	LOOK AT WHAT OTHER CITIES ARE
01:22:06:00	01:22:08:00	DOING AROUND THIS AND SEEING
01:22:08:00	01:22:08:00	THE IMPACT.
01:22:08:00	01:22:11:00	BUT FINALLY IN DISCUSSING THIS
01:22:11:00	01:22:12:00	THE FIRST OBVIOUS QUESTION THAT
01:22:12:00	01:22:15:00	COMES TO ME ANYWAY IMMEDIATELY
01:22:15:00	01:22:19:00	BECOMES WHERE DO WE SITE THEM?
01:22:19:00	01:22:19:00	AND AS MY COLLEAGUES FORMULATE
01:22:19:00	01:22:23:00	THEIR THEIR POSITION ON THIS, I
01:22:23:00	01:22:23:00	URGE THEM TO THINK OF THIS.
01:22:23:00	01:22:26:00	WOULD YOU CHAMPION THIS CAUSE
01:22:26:00	01:22:27:00	IN YOUR OWN DISTRICT?
01:22:27:00	01:22:31:00	WOULD YOU BE THERE TO LEAD AND
01:22:31:00	01:22:31:00	SAY WE WILL TAKE ONE ON BECAUSE
01:22:31:00	01:22:33:00	IF YOU DO NOT.
01:22:33:00	01:22:34:00	ALL THIS WILL DO IS AGAIN
01:22:34:00	01:22:38:00	CENTRALIZE THE SERVICES THAT IS
01:22:38:00	01:22:38:00	BEING OFFERED ESPECIALLY AROUND
01:22:38:00	01:22:41:00	THE AREA OF SOUTHEND AND MY
01:22:41:00	01:22:41:00	CONSTITUENTS.
01:22:41:00	01:22:42:00	AND AGAIN THAT IS WHAT
01:22:42:00	01:22:45:00	CREATED THIS PROBLEM IS THE
01:22:45:00	01:22:46:00	DEARTH OF SERVICES WHERE PEOPLE
01:22:46:00	01:22:48:00	NOW FLOCK TO AND WE ARE TRYING
01:22:48:00	01:22:49:00	TO DECENTRALIZE IT AND TAKE A
01:22:49:00	01:22:49:00	REGIONAL APPROACH.
01:22:49:00	01:22:53:00	SO IF YOU ARE ON THE SIDE AND
01:22:53:00	01:22:53:00	ONCE YOU FORMULATE YOUR OPINION
01:22:53:00	01:22:56:00	ON THIS AND YOU DO THINK THEY
01:22:56:00	01:22:57:00	ARE GOOD I NOT ONLY HOPE I
01:22:57:00	01:23:00:00	EXPECT FOR YOU ALL TO BE THE
01:23:00:00	01:23:01:00	CHAMPION IN YOUR OWN DISTRICTS
01:23:01:00	01:23:01:00	AS WELL TO PROVIDE THIS.
01:23:01:00	01:23:05:00	THANK YOU VERY MUCH BEING
01:23:05:00	01:23:05:00	PRESENT.
01:23:05:00	01:23:05:00	THANK YOU THAT YOU RECOGNIZE
01:23:05:00	01:23:06:00	THIS COUNCIL THAT IS A PARTY ON
01:23:06:00	01:23:06:00	THE FLOOR.
01:23:06:00	01:23:08:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH, MADAM CHAIR.
01:23:08:00	01:23:09:00	OF COURSE WHEN I SAW THIS ON
01:23:09:00	01:23:11:00	THE DOCKET I IMMEDIATELY SAID
01:23:11:00	01:23:12:00	I'M NOT A PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERT
01:23:12:00	01:23:13:00	SO I REQUESTED INFORMATION
01:23:13:00	01:23:15:00	OF THOSE THAT I DO TRUST AND
01:23:15:00	01:23:19:00	UNDERSTAND HAVE THE EXPERTISE
01:23:19:00	01:23:20:00	IN THIS AREA AND THOSE ARE
01:23:20:00	01:23:23:00	MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE
01:23:23:00	01:23:24:00	COMMITTED THEIR LIFE'S WORK TO
01:23:24:00	01:23:27:00	RESEARCHING THIS AND DISCUSSING
01:23:27:00	01:23:28:00	THIS AND HAS AN ADEQUATE
01:23:28:00	01:23:31:00	TRAINING IN PUBLIC HEALTH.
01:23:31:00	01:23:31:00	WHAT THEY HAVE TOLD ME IS
01:23:31:00	01:23:32:00	THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT AND
01:23:32:00	01:23:34:00	VERY SIMILAR TO
01:23:34:00	01:23:35:00	COUNCILOR FITZGERALD'S POINT
01:23:35:00	01:23:36:00	THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT
01:23:36:00	01:23:36:00	OF REFORM CRIMINAL JUSTICE
01:23:36:00	01:23:39:00	REFORM, A HOLISTIC PUBLIC
01:23:39:00	01:23:42:00	HEALTH HEALTH PACKAGE THAT ALSO
01:23:42:00	01:23:43:00	INCLUDES A RECOVERY CAMPUS.
01:23:43:00	01:23:47:00	THE OVERDOSE DEATHS DEATHS ARE
01:23:47:00	01:23:47:00	RISING AND THEY ARE
01:23:47:00	01:23:50:00	DISPROPORTION ONLY AFFECTING
01:23:50:00	01:23:51:00	BLACK AND LATINX RESIDENTS.
01:23:51:00	01:23:54:00	WE KNOW THAT THIS DRAINS HEALTH
01:23:54:00	01:23:54:00	CARE, DRIVES COSTS AND
01:23:54:00	01:23:55:00	CONTRIBUTES TO INFECTIOUS
01:23:55:00	01:23:57:00	DISEASE SPREAD INCLUDING HIV
01:23:57:00	01:24:01:00	WHICH IS VERY, VERY SERIOUS.
01:24:01:00	01:24:02:00	AFTER REVIEWING WHAT THEY HAD
01:24:02:00	01:24:05:00	SAID AND I UNDERSTAND THAT
01:24:05:00	01:24:08:00	THERE ARE DOZENS I THINK
01:24:08:00	01:24:09:00	THERE'S 75 PEER REVIEWED
01:24:09:00	01:24:12:00	ARTICLES ON THIS WHERE
01:24:12:00	01:24:13:00	POTENTIALLY POTENTIALLY AND
01:24:13:00	01:24:14:00	THIS IS A LONG CONVERSATION AND
01:24:14:00	01:24:17:00	AT ONE POINT I'M GOING TO MAKE
01:24:17:00	01:24:18:00	IS THAT THERE'S A LONG WAY TO
01:24:18:00	01:24:20:00	GO ON THIS BUT POTENTIALLY
01:24:20:00	01:24:21:00	AUTOPSIES PREVENT OVERDOSE
01:24:21:00	01:24:24:00	DEATHS.
01:24:24:00	01:24:24:00	THEY REDUCE DISEASE
01:24:24:00	01:24:25:00	TRANSMISSION, THEY CONNECT
01:24:25:00	01:24:28:00	PEOPLE TO TREATMENT, THEY LOWER
01:24:28:00	01:24:31:00	HEALTH CARE COSTS AND DO NOT
01:24:31:00	01:24:32:00	INCREASE CRIME AND POTENTIALLY
01:24:32:00	01:24:35:00	BOSTON COULD SAVE AN ESTIMATED
01:24:35:00	01:24:36:00	$4 MILLION ANNUALLY IN
01:24:36:00	01:24:40:00	DOWNSTREAM HEALTH CARE COSTS.
01:24:40:00	01:24:40:00	THERE'S ALSO DATA THAT SAYS
01:24:40:00	01:24:43:00	THAT THE CITY OF BOSTON
01:24:43:00	01:24:46:00	BELIEVES IN HARM REDUCTION.
01:24:46:00	01:24:47:00	77% OF PEOPLE BELIEVE IN HARM
01:24:47:00	01:24:50:00	REDUCTION PROGRAMS.
01:24:50:00	01:24:51:00	70% OF MASSACHUSETTS VOTERS
01:24:51:00	01:24:54:00	COULD POTENTIALLY SUPPORT OBC
01:24:54:00	01:24:55:00	LEGISLATION.
01:24:55:00	01:24:57:00	AND THAT'S NOT JUST BOSTON BUT
01:24:57:00	01:24:58:00	THAT'S MASSACHUSETTS.
01:24:58:00	01:24:59:00	AND AGAIN, WE HAVE A LONG WAY
01:24:59:00	01:24:59:00	TO GO.
01:24:59:00	01:25:02:00	SO EACH DEPARTMENT PUBLIC
01:25:02:00	01:25:06:00	HEALTH AND BPH SEE WE NEED TO
01:25:06:00	01:25:06:00	ASSESS PROVIDER READINESS.
01:25:06:00	01:25:09:00	THE SITING ISSUES PLAN
01:25:09:00	01:25:09:00	EVALUATIONS, ENGAGE
01:25:09:00	01:25:10:00	STAKEHOLDERS, PREPARE
01:25:10:00	01:25:10:00	INFRASTRUCTURE TO PILOT
01:25:10:00	01:25:13:00	SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
01:25:13:00	01:25:14:00	I THINK ESPECIALLY THIS WEEK
01:25:14:00	01:25:14:00	MORE THAN EVER IT'S IMPORTANT
01:25:14:00	01:25:17:00	FOR ALL OF US TO REALIZE HOW
01:25:17:00	01:25:20:00	DANGEROUS IT IS TO MAYBE
01:25:20:00	01:25:21:00	POLITICIZE PUBLIC HEALTH
01:25:21:00	01:25:21:00	MATTERS.
01:25:21:00	01:25:22:00	PREGNANT WOMEN WERE TOLD NOT TO
01:25:22:00	01:25:25:00	TAKE TYLENOL JUST RECENTLY THIS
01:25:25:00	01:25:26:00	WEEK WHICH IS EXTREMELY
01:25:26:00	01:25:29:00	DANGEROUS IF THERE'S
01:25:29:00	01:25:29:00	COMPLICATIONS IN UTERO.
01:25:29:00	01:25:32:00	JUST THE DISSONANCE IS IS
01:25:32:00	01:25:33:00	JARRING.
01:25:33:00	01:25:34:00	SO I WOULD JUST SAY THAT THIS
01:25:34:00	01:25:36:00	IS ANOTHER INSTANCE WHERE IT
01:25:36:00	01:25:37:00	WOULD BEHOOVE ALL OF US TO
01:25:37:00	01:25:40:00	AVOID OVERSIMPLIFYING AND
01:25:40:00	01:25:41:00	COMPLEX, NUANCED, HIGHLY

01:26:01:00	01:26:01:00	I JUST.
01:26:01:00	01:26:04:00	JUST A COUPLE OF POINTS.
01:26:04:00	01:26:07:00	NUMBER ONE IS, YOU KNOW, I'M
01:26:07:00	01:26:08:00	GOING TO BE VOTING AGAINST THIS
01:26:08:00	01:26:09:00	RESOLUTION BUT I HAVE ADVOCATED
01:26:09:00	01:26:12:00	FOR LOW THRESHOLD HOUSING IN MY
01:26:12:00	01:26:12:00	DISTRICT TO LINDA AND ENVISION
01:26:12:00	01:26:15:00	HOTEL.
01:26:15:00	01:26:16:00	JUST TO NAME A COUPLE.
01:26:16:00	01:26:19:00	SO THIS IS IT'S NOT A CASE
01:26:19:00	01:26:19:00	OF WELL, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T
01:26:19:00	01:26:20:00	WANT THAT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
01:26:20:00	01:26:22:00	WE ALSO TALK ABOUT THE SHATTUCK
01:26:22:00	01:26:23:00	A LOT IN JAMAICA PLAIN AND HOW
01:26:23:00	01:26:26:00	TO GET THAT UP AND RUNNING AND
01:26:26:00	01:26:27:00	HELPING PEOPLE.
01:26:27:00	01:26:30:00	I'D ALSO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, I
01:26:30:00	01:26:31:00	WASN'T AT THE HEARING BUT I
01:26:31:00	01:26:33:00	REVIEWED THE TESTIMONY AND THE
01:26:33:00	01:26:33:00	TWO MOST COMMON COMPLAINTS ARE,
01:26:33:00	01:26:36:00	YOU KNOW, HAVING WATCHING
01:26:36:00	01:26:37:00	PEOPLE USE DRUGS IN PUBLIC AND
01:26:37:00	01:26:37:00	THE NEEDLES.
01:26:37:00	01:26:41:00	YOU KNOW, PEOPLE HAVE STUDIED
01:26:41:00	01:26:41:00	THIS ISSUE.
01:26:41:00	01:26:45:00	THERE'S A TON OF ARTICLES AND I
01:26:45:00	01:26:45:00	THINK COUNCILOR CLETA ZAPATA
01:26:45:00	01:26:48:00	WAS REFERRING TO THERE'S A META
01:26:48:00	01:26:49:00	ANALYSIS WHERE ACADEMICS REVIEW
01:26:49:00	01:26:52:00	A NUMBER OF ARTICLES WRITTEN BY
01:26:52:00	01:26:53:00	OTHER ACADEMICS THAT'S BEEN
01:26:53:00	01:26:56:00	PUBLISHED AND WHAT ALL THOSE
01:26:56:00	01:26:57:00	ARTICLES FOUND IS THAT SAFE
01:26:57:00	01:27:00:00	INJECTION SITES CAN REDUCE THE
01:27:00:00	01:27:03:00	NUMBER OF NEEDLES ON THE STREET
01:27:03:00	01:27:04:00	BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO A PLACE
01:27:04:00	01:27:04:00	WHERE YOU'RE USING THE NEEDLE
01:27:04:00	01:27:07:00	IN THAT PLACE AND THE REDUCE
01:27:07:00	01:27:08:00	PUBLIC DRUG USE BECAUSE YOU'RE
01:27:08:00	01:27:11:00	USING IT IN THIS LOCATION.
01:27:11:00	01:27:12:00	YOU KNOW SO ALL THOSE OTHER
01:27:12:00	01:27:13:00	ISSUES ASIDE, YOU KNOW, I THINK
01:27:13:00	01:27:15:00	IF WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO HELP
01:27:15:00	01:27:16:00	REMOVE NEEDLES FROM THE STREETS
01:27:16:00	01:27:20:00	AND GET PEOPLE TO STOP USING
01:27:20:00	01:27:22:00	DRUGS IN PUBLIC, THIS IS ONE
01:27:22:00	01:27:23:00	TOOL IN THE TOOLBOX AND I JUST
01:27:23:00	01:27:26:00	YOU KNOW, BASED ON NO HEARING,
01:27:26:00	01:27:29:00	NO REAL DISCUSSION, I DON'T SEE
01:27:29:00	01:27:30:00	A REASON TO SUPPORT THIS
01:27:30:00	01:27:30:00	RESOLUTION.
01:27:30:00	01:27:30:00	THANK YOU.
01:27:30:00	01:27:31:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
01:27:31:00	01:27:33:00	COUNCILOR DURKAN.
01:27:33:00	01:27:34:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR.
01:27:34:00	01:27:35:00	I JUST DON'T BELIEVE THIS
01:27:35:00	01:27:37:00	RESOLUTION IS A GOOD FAITH
01:27:37:00	01:27:41:00	REPRESENTATION OF GOOD PUBLIC
01:27:41:00	01:27:42:00	PROCESS AND I DON'T SEE HOW
01:27:42:00	01:27:45:00	BOSTON WEIGHING IN ON WHETHER
01:27:45:00	01:27:46:00	PEOPLE IN CAPE COD AND WESTERN
01:27:46:00	01:27:49:00	MASS IF THEY THINK THAT'S GOOD
01:27:49:00	01:27:49:00	FOR THEM.
01:27:49:00	01:27:50:00	I DON'T REALLY SEE HOW THAT.
01:27:50:00	01:27:53:00	I DON'T SEE HOW US AS THE
01:27:53:00	01:27:53:00	BIGGEST CITY IN THE
01:27:53:00	01:27:57:00	COMMONWEALTH WEIGHING IN ON
01:27:57:00	01:27:57:00	THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE AT THIS
01:27:57:00	01:28:00:00	IMPORTANT JUNCTURE FOR THE
01:28:00:00	01:28:01:00	STATE AND COMMONWEALTH IS A
01:28:01:00	01:28:01:00	GOOD IDEA.
01:28:01:00	01:28:05:00	I PERSONALLY I HAVEN'T
01:28:05:00	01:28:05:00	FORMULATED A POSITION ON THE
01:28:05:00	01:28:09:00	ISSUE EXCEPT FOR THAT I BELIEVE
01:28:09:00	01:28:13:00	PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS.
01:28:13:00	01:28:14:00	I HAVE A LETTER FROM AN MGB
01:28:14:00	01:28:16:00	PHYSICIAN WHO'S WORKING ON THIS
01:28:16:00	01:28:17:00	ISSUE WHO IS SPOUTING VERY
01:28:17:00	01:28:20:00	DIFFERENT TALKING POINTS THAN
01:28:20:00	01:28:21:00	THE ONES THAT WE'RE HEARING
01:28:21:00	01:28:21:00	PRESENTED TODAY.
01:28:21:00	01:28:25:00	SO AND IN TERMS OF SITING
01:28:25:00	01:28:28:00	ANYTHING IN BOSTON WE HAVE
01:28:28:00	01:28:28:00	TIME.
01:28:28:00	01:28:28:00	THIS IS LIKE NOT SOMETHING
01:28:28:00	01:28:32:00	THAT'S EVEN PAST THE STATE
01:28:32:00	01:28:32:00	HOUSE.
01:28:32:00	01:28:36:00	AND I THINK WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
01:28:36:00	01:28:36:00	THE DECENTRALIZATION
01:28:36:00	01:28:40:00	OF SERVICES IN PLACES LIKE MASS
01:28:40:00	01:28:40:00	AND CASS, THIS IS PART OF THAT
01:28:40:00	01:28:44:00	DECENTRALIZATION IS MOVING
01:28:44:00	01:28:44:00	THINGS OUTSIDE OF BOSTON.
01:28:44:00	01:28:48:00	I HAD A DIRECT CONVERSATION
01:28:48:00	01:28:48:00	WITH THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
01:28:48:00	01:28:49:00	ABOUT WHAT THE STATE COULD BE
01:28:49:00	01:28:54:00	DOING ON MASS AND CASS AND WHAT
01:28:54:00	01:28:55:00	I THINK THAT WOULD THE HELP
01:28:55:00	01:28:58:00	THAT WE NEED IS I I'M DOING I
01:28:58:00	01:29:01:00	THINK FOR ME I'M DOING THE JOB
01:29:01:00	01:29:02:00	I THINK IS THE ROLE OF A CITY
01:29:02:00	01:29:04:00	COUNCILOR WHICH IS WHEN YOU
01:29:04:00	01:29:05:00	HAVE AN OPINION CALL THOSE WHO
01:29:05:00	01:29:08:00	CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND I
01:29:08:00	01:29:08:00	JUST DON'T BELIEVE THIS
01:29:08:00	01:29:09:00	RESOLUTION IS A GOOD FAITH
01:29:09:00	01:29:12:00	EXAMPLE OF HOW WE SHOULD
01:29:12:00	01:29:13:00	OPERATE IN THE CITY BOTH IN
01:29:13:00	01:29:13:00	TERMS OF PUBLIC PROCESS.
01:29:13:00	01:29:16:00	I THINK IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN
01:29:16:00	01:29:16:00	WEIGHING IN AGAINST THIS
01:29:16:00	01:29:17:00	LEGISLATION YOU SHOULD GO TO
01:29:17:00	01:29:20:00	THE STATE HOUSE AND TESTIFY AT
01:29:20:00	01:29:21:00	THE HEARING WITH YOUR OWN
01:29:21:00	01:29:24:00	PERSONAL POSITION AND I READING
01:29:24:00	01:29:25:00	THROUGH THIS JUST DOESN'T
01:29:25:00	01:29:29:00	REPRESENT MY BELIEFS SO I WILL
01:29:29:00	01:29:30:00	BE VOTING NO THANK YOU.
01:29:30:00	01:29:31:00	THE CHAIR AGAIN THIS IS
01:29:31:00	01:29:31:00	COUNCILOR BREADON.
01:29:31:00	01:29:32:00	YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
01:29:32:00	01:29:33:00	THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
01:29:33:00	01:29:36:00	AND THANK YOU TO MY COLLEAGUES
01:29:36:00	01:29:37:00	FOR BRINGING FORWARD THIS THIS
01:29:37:00	01:29:40:00	RESOLUTION.
01:29:40:00	01:29:43:00	I THINK THE MORE APPROPRIATE
01:29:43:00	01:29:43:00	TERMINOLOGY WHEN TALKING ABOUT
01:29:43:00	01:29:46:00	SUPERVISED INJECTION SITES IS
01:29:46:00	01:29:47:00	OVERDOSE PREVENTION.
01:29:47:00	01:29:51:00	THESE SITES OFFER TESTING FOR
01:29:51:00	01:29:52:00	SUBSTANCES THAT FOLKS ARE GOING
01:29:52:00	01:29:54:00	TO INJECT.
01:29:54:00	01:29:55:00	THEY CAN SCREEN OUT FOR
01:29:55:00	01:29:55:00	FENTANYL.
01:29:55:00	01:29:58:00	THEY OFFER CLEAN NEEDLES WHICH
01:29:58:00	01:29:59:00	AS SOMEONE HAS ALREADY
01:29:59:00	01:30:00:00	MENTIONED IS VERY, VERY
01:30:00:00	01:30:02:00	IMPORTANT IN REDUCING THE HIV
01:30:02:00	01:30:06:00	INFECTIONS AND IS ULTIMATELY
01:30:06:00	01:30:06:00	THE SAFE NEEDLE DISPOSAL THAT
01:30:06:00	01:30:09:00	WILL TAKE MANY MORE NEEDLES OFF
01:30:09:00	01:30:10:00	THE STREETS.
01:30:10:00	01:30:13:00	THE RIVER ACCESS TO
01:30:13:00	01:30:14:00	RECOVERY CULTURES AND TO
01:30:14:00	01:30:14:00	CONNECT PEOPLE TO HEALTH CARE
01:30:14:00	01:30:17:00	AND RECOVERY SUPPORT.
01:30:17:00	01:30:18:00	SO ALL TOLD, YOU KNOW, THIS IS
01:30:18:00	01:30:21:00	SORT OF LIKE THIS SORT
01:30:21:00	01:30:21:00	OF BALANCE.
01:30:21:00	01:30:22:00	WE TALK ABOUT THIS A LOT IN
01:30:22:00	01:30:25:00	THIS PLACE AND IN SORT OF IN
01:30:25:00	01:30:26:00	AGGREGATE I FEEL THAT THE
01:30:26:00	01:30:28:00	BENEFITS OUTWEIGH ANY POTENTIAL
01:30:28:00	01:30:32:00	DISADVANTAGES OF HAVING AN
01:30:32:00	01:30:33:00	OVERDOSE PREVENTION SITE.
01:30:33:00	01:30:36:00	AND I THINK IT'S SOMETHING FOR
01:30:36:00	01:30:37:00	THOSE OF US WHO HAVE FAMILY
01:30:37:00	01:30:40:00	MEMBERS WHO ARE HAVE HAVE
01:30:40:00	01:30:44:00	ADDICTIONS HAVING A SAFE.
01:30:44:00	01:30:45:00	WE ALWAYS ARE DREADING THE DAY
01:30:45:00	01:30:48:00	WHEN WE GET A PHONE CALL TO SAY
01:30:48:00	01:30:49:00	THAT THEY'VE HAD AN OVERDOSE,
01:30:49:00	01:30:51:00	THAT THEY'VE BEEN EXPOSED TO
01:30:51:00	01:30:55:00	FENTANYL ACCIDENTALLY AND THEY
01:30:55:00	01:30:56:00	END UP HAVING AN OVERDOSE
01:30:56:00	01:30:59:00	THAT'S TAKEN THEIR LIFE SO I
01:30:59:00	01:30:59:00	REALLY DO I WILL BE VOTING AND
01:30:59:00	01:31:02:00	I WILL BE VOTING AGAINST THIS
01:31:02:00	01:31:03:00	RESOLUTION AND HOPE THAT YOU
01:31:03:00	01:31:06:00	KNOW, THIS THIS INITIATIVE
01:31:06:00	01:31:07:00	TAKEN AT THE STATE LEVEL WILL
01:31:07:00	01:31:10:00	MOVE FORWARD AND ALSO TAKE SOME
01:31:10:00	01:31:10:00	OF THE PRESSURE OFF BOSTON
01:31:10:00	01:31:11:00	BECAUSE WE DO KNOW THAT PEOPLE
01:31:11:00	01:31:14:00	COME TO BOSTON FOR SERVICES AND
01:31:14:00	01:31:18:00	TO ACCESS TO TREATMENT AND ALSO
01:31:18:00	01:31:18:00	THAT WE HAVE AN OPEN DRUG
01:31:18:00	01:31:22:00	MARKET IN THE STREETS.
01:31:22:00	01:31:23:00	BUT IF THERE'S SO SAFE SUPPORT
01:31:23:00	01:31:26:00	OF OVERDOSE PREVENTION SITES IN
01:31:26:00	01:31:29:00	OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE, I
01:31:29:00	01:31:30:00	FEEL THAT WILL TAKE PRESSURE
01:31:30:00	01:31:30:00	OFF THE CITY OF BOSTON.

01:31:34:00	01:31:37:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES COUNCILORS
01:31:37:00	01:31:38:00	JODY ON THE FLOOR.
01:31:38:00	01:31:38:00	THANK YOU.
01:31:38:00	01:31:39:00	JUST A COUPLE OF CORRECTIONS
01:31:39:00	01:31:42:00	KOUDELKA THAT IS ABOUT I THINK
01:31:42:00	01:31:42:00	YOU SAID OVERDOSE DEATHS WERE
01:31:42:00	01:31:42:00	UP.
01:31:42:00	01:31:45:00	I WOULD I WOULD I THINK WE BOTH
01:31:45:00	01:31:46:00	HAVE TO GO CHECK OUR STATS
01:31:46:00	01:31:46:00	BECAUSE FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND
01:31:46:00	01:31:48:00	FROM THE BUST PUBLIC HEALTH
01:31:48:00	01:31:49:00	COMMISSION IS DOWN AND THAT'S
01:31:49:00	01:31:50:00	DUE TO THE USE OF DIE CAN NOW
01:31:50:00	01:31:52:00	THAT POLICE OFFICERS HAVE.
01:31:52:00	01:31:53:00	SO I THINK OVERDOSE DEATHS ARE
01:31:53:00	01:31:53:00	DOWN WHICH MEANS WHAT WE'RE
01:31:53:00	01:31:56:00	DOING TO HELP OVERDOSE DEATHS
01:31:56:00	01:31:56:00	TO PREVENT OVERDOSE DEATHS IS
01:31:56:00	01:31:57:00	WORKING AS THE NUMBERS ARE
01:31:57:00	01:32:00:00	GOING DOWN.
01:32:00:00	01:32:01:00	HOWEVER, THERE'S STILL THE
01:32:01:00	01:32:04:00	PUBLIC SAFETY ASPECT I DO HAVE
01:32:04:00	01:32:05:00	IN FACT I DO I DID FILE A
01:32:05:00	01:32:07:00	HEARING ON A REGIONAL APPROACH
01:32:07:00	01:32:08:00	TO THIS ISSUE.
01:32:08:00	01:32:09:00	SO ALONG WITH FOLKS THAT ARE
01:32:09:00	01:32:10:00	SAYING THAT YOU KNOW, WE DO WE
01:32:10:00	01:32:11:00	SHOULD TALK TO THE STATE
01:32:11:00	01:32:12:00	LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR AND OTHERS
01:32:12:00	01:32:12:00	OF OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE
01:32:12:00	01:32:15:00	TAKING BEING INVOLVED.
01:32:15:00	01:32:15:00	I COMPLETELY AGREE.
01:32:15:00	01:32:19:00	HOWEVER, IF AND WHEN THIS DOES
01:32:19:00	01:32:20:00	COME TO PASS, YOU KNOW, I JUST
01:32:20:00	01:32:23:00	THINK AGAIN, I WOULD REMIND
01:32:23:00	01:32:23:00	PEOPLE I LOOK FORWARD TO
01:32:23:00	01:32:26:00	WORKING WITH YOU ALL IN SORT
01:32:26:00	01:32:27:00	OF DECENTRALIZING THAT WAS IN
01:32:27:00	01:32:28:00	THE SOUTH END AND WHILE I WOULD
01:32:28:00	01:32:30:00	PREFER IT TO BE OUTSIDE
01:32:30:00	01:32:31:00	OF BOSTON, IT'S VERY LIKELY
01:32:31:00	01:32:34:00	THAT IT WILL BE MANY IN BOSTON
01:32:34:00	01:32:35:00	AS WELL.
01:32:35:00	01:32:35:00	AND SO I LOOK FORWARD TO
01:32:35:00	01:32:36:00	PARTNERING WITH YOU IN
01:32:36:00	01:32:39:00	SPREADING THAT OUT ALL ACROSS

01:32:42:00	01:32:45:00	I BROUGHT THIS RESOLUTION HERE
01:32:45:00	01:32:45:00	IN GOOD FAITH.
01:32:45:00	01:32:50:00	WHAT ISN'T SURE WHY I'M BEING
01:32:50:00	01:32:51:00	CRITICIZED FOR BRINGING THIS
01:32:51:00	01:32:54:00	HERE AND NOT IN GOOD FAITH.
01:32:54:00	01:32:54:00	EVERYTHING I'VE DONE IN THIS
01:32:54:00	01:32:57:00	BODY IS IN GOOD FAITH.
01:32:57:00	01:32:58:00	I'VE WORKED ON THIS ISSUE
01:32:58:00	01:33:01:00	BEFORE AS A CITY COUNCIL, AS A
01:33:01:00	01:33:02:00	PROBATION OFFICER AND THAT'S
01:33:02:00	01:33:04:00	ALL I DID FOR EIGHT YEARS IS
01:33:04:00	01:33:08:00	HELP PEOPLE GET INTO RECOVERY,
01:33:08:00	01:33:09:00	HELP THEM GET INTO DETOX, HELP

01:33:12:00	01:33:12:00	PROGRAMS.
01:33:12:00	01:33:15:00	THAT WAS MY FULL TIME JOB JUST
01:33:15:00	01:33:18:00	JUST 50 YARDS FROM HERE.
01:33:18:00	01:33:22:00	SO EVERYTHING I DO AS A IN MY
01:33:22:00	01:33:22:00	PROFESSIONAL LIFE I DO IT IN
01:33:22:00	01:33:25:00	GOOD FAITH.
01:33:25:00	01:33:29:00	THIS IS IN GOOD FAITH BECAUSE I
01:33:29:00	01:33:32:00	HAVE RECEIVED CALLS FROM MY
01:33:32:00	01:33:33:00	NEIGHBORS ASKING ABOUT THEIR
01:33:33:00	01:33:37:00	LOVED ONES IN MASS AND HOUSE.
01:33:37:00	01:33:38:00	MANY OF MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES
01:33:38:00	01:33:40:00	PROBABLY HAVE TOLD AND WHAT
01:33:40:00	01:33:41:00	THEY WANT.
01:33:41:00	01:33:41:00	ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THEY
01:33:41:00	01:33:44:00	WANT IS TO IDENTIFY THEM WHERE
01:33:44:00	01:33:45:00	THEY'RE AT.
01:33:45:00	01:33:46:00	THEN THE SECOND THING IS CAN WE
01:33:46:00	01:33:48:00	GET THEM INTO TREATMENT?
01:33:48:00	01:33:48:00	CAN WE GET THEM INTO DETOX?
01:33:48:00	01:33:49:00	WE CAN GET THEM INTO TREATMENT.
01:33:49:00	01:33:52:00	WHAT ABOUT SHORT TERM
01:33:52:00	01:33:52:00	RECOVERY PLANS OR LONG TERM
01:33:52:00	01:33:52:00	RECOVERY PLANS?
01:33:52:00	01:33:58:00	ARE WE SUPPORTING THEM?
01:33:58:00	01:33:59:00	THAT'S GOOD FAITH THAT'S
01:33:59:00	01:34:02:00	HELPING PEOPLE.
01:34:02:00	01:34:03:00	A MOTHER WITH A CHILD THAT HAS
01:34:03:00	01:34:05:00	SUBSTANCE USE CHALLENGE THEY
01:34:05:00	01:34:09:00	WANT THEIR CHILD INTO RECOVERY.
01:34:09:00	01:34:10:00	SO I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN
01:34:10:00	01:34:13:00	THE COMMENT THAT I'M NOT HERE

01:34:20:00	01:34:24:00	THAT'S ALL THIS IS ABOUT IS
01:34:24:00	01:34:25:00	HELPING PEOPLE IN NEED THAT ARE
01:34:25:00	01:34:29:00	STRUGGLING AND WE CAN'T AS A
