00:09:41:00	00:09:42:00	OF SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM.
00:09:42:00	00:09:45:00	THEY DON'T THINK IN TERMS
00:09:45:00	00:09:45:00	OF THE NEXT ELECTION OR THE
00:09:45:00	00:09:48:00	NEXT TERM BUT THEY THINK IN
00:09:48:00	00:09:49:00	TERMS OF LEGACY WHAT GENERATION
00:09:49:00	00:09:53:00	IS COMING NEXT SO THAT WE CAN

00:50:11:00	00:50:14:00	HYDE PARK AT THE PRIDE AND A
00:50:14:00	00:50:15:00	CHAMPION FOR INCLUSIVE AND
00:50:15:00	00:50:15:00	SENIOR FOCUSED AFFORDABLE
00:50:15:00	00:50:18:00	HOUSING WHO IS ALSO TESSA WHO
00:50:18:00	00:50:19:00	IS ALSO ABLE TO TESTIFY TO THE
00:50:19:00	00:50:21:00	PROBLEMS THAT OCCURRED BY HOW
00:50:21:00	00:50:22:00	LONG IT TOOK FOR THE PRIDE TO
00:50:22:00	00:50:23:00	ACTUALLY DEVELOP INTO WHAT IT
00:50:23:00	00:50:25:00	IS.
00:50:25:00	00:50:26:00	AND SO THE CORE MESSAGE OF THIS
00:50:26:00	00:50:26:00	IS THAT THIS ORDINANCE IS ABOUT
00:50:26:00	00:50:29:00	PREDICTABILITY, ENSURING THAT
00:50:29:00	00:50:30:00	EVERYBODY KNOWS WHEN PUBLIC
00:50:30:00	00:50:30:00	BUILDINGS COME OFF LINE AND ARE
00:50:30:00	00:50:33:00	LONG NO LONGER BEING USED FOR A
00:50:33:00	00:50:33:00	MUNICIPAL PURPOSE THAT
00:50:33:00	00:50:34:00	AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS THE
00:50:34:00	00:50:34:00	CITY'S PRIORITY.
00:50:34:00	00:50:38:00	LIKE THE COUNCIL THAT IS A PART
00:50:38:00	00:50:39:00	OF SAID WHEN PEOPLE HAVE ASKED
00:50:39:00	00:50:40:00	ME HOW DO I DESCRIBE THIS?
00:50:40:00	00:50:41:00	I CONSIDER THIS AS GIVING THE
00:50:41:00	00:50:42:00	MAYOR'S OFFICE OF HOUSING A
00:50:42:00	00:50:43:00	RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL SO THAT
00:50:43:00	00:50:44:00	WE CAN DO THE WORK OF BUILDING
00:50:44:00	00:50:46:00	MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
00:50:46:00	00:50:47:00	FOR TOO LONG SURPLUS MUNICIPAL
00:50:47:00	00:50:48:00	PROPERTY SCHOOLS, POLICE
00:50:48:00	00:50:50:00	STATIONS, LIBRARIES HAVE SAT
00:50:50:00	00:50:51:00	VACANT FOR TOO LONG OR HAVE
00:50:51:00	00:50:55:00	BEEN OR BEEN REDEVELOPED
00:50:55:00	00:50:55:00	WITHOUT A CLEAR PURPOSE.
00:50:55:00	00:50:56:00	THIS CHANGES THAT THIS
00:50:56:00	00:50:59:00	ORDINANCE CREATES A TRANSPARENT
00:50:59:00	00:50:59:00	, ACCOUNTABLE PROCESS TO
00:50:59:00	00:51:00:00	EVALUATE SURPLUS BUILDING FOR
00:51:00:00	00:51:03:00	HOUSING POTENTIAL BEFORE
00:51:03:00	00:51:03:00	ANYTHING ELSE.
00:51:03:00	00:51:04:00	BUT IT DOESN'T LOCK ANYONE INTO
00:51:04:00	00:51:07:00	THE CITY AND IT'S NOT RIGID.
00:51:07:00	00:51:07:00	IT ALLOWS FOR AN EXCEPTION
00:51:07:00	00:51:10:00	DETERMINATION SHOULD THERE BE
00:51:10:00	00:51:11:00	AN ALTERNATIVE OR BEST USE
00:51:11:00	00:51:13:00	THROUGH CLEARLY DOCUMENTED
00:51:13:00	00:51:14:00	REASONING AS TO WHY AFFORDABLE
00:51:14:00	00:51:17:00	HOUSING BE PRIORITIZED IN THIS
00:51:17:00	00:51:18:00	INSTANCE?
00:51:18:00	00:51:18:00	AGAIN, IT ESTABLISHES
00:51:18:00	00:51:21:00	AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS A FIRST
00:51:21:00	00:51:22:00	AND PREFERRED USE FOR SURPLUS
00:51:22:00	00:51:23:00	CITY PROPERTY SUBJECT TO
00:51:23:00	00:51:25:00	FEASIBILITY AND LEGAL
00:51:25:00	00:51:25:00	CONSTRAINTS.
00:51:25:00	00:51:26:00	IT REQUIRES CLEAR DOCUMENTATION
00:51:26:00	00:51:26:00	OF PUBLIC REPORTING WHEN
00:51:26:00	00:51:29:00	PROPERTIES ARE NOT USED FOR
00:51:29:00	00:51:29:00	ANNUAL REPORTING TO TRACK ONCE
00:51:29:00	00:51:30:00	WHICH SITE TO MOVE FORWARD.
00:51:30:00	00:51:33:00	HOW THEY'RE USED AND HOW MANY
00:51:33:00	00:51:33:00	AFFORDABLE UNITS RESULT.
00:51:33:00	00:51:34:00	AGAIN THANK YOU TO
00:51:34:00	00:51:35:00	COUNCILOR MEJIA FOR THAT
00:51:35:00	00:51:37:00	RECOMMENDATION.
00:51:37:00	00:51:38:00	IT GIVES THE CITY A STRONGER
00:51:38:00	00:51:41:00	DATA CITY DATA DRIVEN FRAMEWORK
00:51:41:00	00:51:41:00	JUST CASE BY CASE DECISIONS.
00:51:41:00	00:51:42:00	WE OFTEN GET QUESTIONS FROM
00:51:42:00	00:51:45:00	CONSTITUENTS WHY WASN'T THIS
00:51:45:00	00:51:46:00	BUILDING USED FOR THIS OR WHY
00:51:46:00	00:51:47:00	DID WE DECIDE TO USE IT FOR
00:51:47:00	00:51:49:00	THIS INSTEAD SAYING THIS IS A
00:51:49:00	00:51:49:00	CLEAR VALUE STATEMENT THAT WHEN
00:51:49:00	00:51:52:00	MUNICIPAL BUILDING IS NO LONGER
00:51:52:00	00:51:53:00	BEING USED FOR MUNICIPAL
00:51:53:00	00:51:53:00	PURPOSE THAT THE HIGHEST AND
00:51:53:00	00:51:56:00	BEST USE IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
00:51:56:00	00:51:57:00	UNLESS THERE'S AN EXCEPTION
00:51:57:00	00:51:57:00	DETERMINATION.
00:51:57:00	00:52:00:00	IT'S A TOOL IN OUR TOOLBOXES
00:52:00:00	00:52:00:00	ORDINANCE IS NOT A SILVER
00:52:00:00	00:52:01:00	BULLET.
00:52:01:00	00:52:03:00	THERE'S NO SILVER BULLET THAT'S
00:52:03:00	00:52:04:00	GOING TO HELP US SOLVE OUR
00:52:04:00	00:52:04:00	AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS.
00:52:04:00	00:52:05:00	BUT IT'S AN IMPORTANT
00:52:05:00	00:52:08:00	STRUCTURAL REFORM THAT SHOULD
00:52:08:00	00:52:08:00	BE ENSURED TRANSPARENCY AND
00:52:08:00	00:52:08:00	PUBLIC PURPOSE.
00:52:08:00	00:52:11:00	HOUSING PRICES ARE STILL AT
00:52:11:00	00:52:11:00	HISTORIC HIGHS.
00:52:11:00	00:52:12:00	THIS HELPS ENSURE THAT EVERY
00:52:12:00	00:52:12:00	POSSIBLE PUBLIC ASSET
00:52:12:00	00:52:15:00	CONTRIBUTES TO ADDRESSING
00:52:15:00	00:52:15:00	BOSTON'S HOUSING CRISIS AND THE
00:52:15:00	00:52:18:00	ORDINANCE IS NOT EXCLUSIVELY
00:52:18:00	00:52:19:00	FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
00:52:19:00	00:52:20:00	IT ALLOWS FOR MIXED USE.
00:52:20:00	00:52:20:00	IT ALLOWS FOR MIXED HOUSING AND
00:52:20:00	00:52:23:00	I THINK IT GETS AT THE GOAL
00:52:23:00	00:52:24:00	OF HELPING MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
00:52:24:00	00:52:26:00	BUILDING AND WITH A FOCUS ON
00:52:26:00	00:52:26:00	BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING WE
00:52:26:00	00:52:27:00	MAKE CONCESSIONS ON THE
00:52:27:00	00:52:30:00	TIMELINE TO ENSURE THAT WE GIVE
00:52:30:00	00:52:31:00	THE CITY ENOUGH TIME TO THINK
00:52:31:00	00:52:33:00	ABOUT WHETHER AFFORDABLE
00:52:33:00	00:52:34:00	HOUSING IS THE HIGHEST AND BEST
00:52:34:00	00:52:37:00	USE.
00:52:37:00	00:52:38:00	BUT OUR PRIORITY HAS NEVER
00:52:38:00	00:52:38:00	WAVERED IN MOVING SURPLUS
00:52:38:00	00:52:41:00	PROPERTY TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING
00:52:41:00	00:52:41:00	EFFICIENTLY AND PREDICTABLY AND
00:52:41:00	00:52:45:00	IS WHAT THE LEGISLATION
00:52:45:00	00:52:45:00	REFLECTS WHAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH
00:52:45:00	00:52:46:00	WHEN THE COUNCIL ADMINISTRATION
00:52:46:00	00:52:48:00	AND ADVOCATES WORK TOGETHER IN
00:52:48:00	00:52:49:00	GOOD FAITH.
00:52:49:00	00:52:51:00	I WANT TO THANK FORMER CITY

00:52:52:00	00:52:52:00	OF IMPORTANCE.
00:52:52:00	00:52:54:00	AND I WANT TO THANK OUR MAYOR
00:52:54:00	00:52:55:00	WHO'S BEEN HELPFUL IN THINKING
00:52:55:00	00:52:56:00	THROUGH WHAT WORKS AND WHAT
00:52:56:00	00:52:59:00	WORKS AND WHAT IS SENSIBLE AND
00:52:59:00	00:52:59:00	PREDICTABLE.
00:52:59:00	00:52:59:00	IT'S ALSO ABOUT TURNING PUBLIC
00:52:59:00	00:53:03:00	ASSETS INTO PUBLIC GOODS HOMES
00:53:03:00	00:53:03:00	FOR FAMILIES, FOR SENIORS AND
00:53:03:00	00:53:04:00	RESIDENTS WHO WANT TO STAY IN
00:53:04:00	00:53:06:00	THE CITY THAT THEY LOVE.
00:53:06:00	00:53:07:00	JUST YESTERDAY I WAS ON THE
00:53:07:00	00:53:08:00	PHONE WITH SOMEONE FROM SOUTH

00:53:11:00	00:53:12:00	THERE BUT HE WAS PRICED OUT TO
00:53:12:00	00:53:14:00	QUINCY BECAUSE OF HOW EXPENSIVE
00:53:14:00	00:53:15:00	HOUSING IS AND WE TALKED ABOUT
00:53:15:00	00:53:16:00	THE WORK OF THIS ORDINANCE AND
00:53:16:00	00:53:19:00	HOW WE CAN HELP FURTHER THOSE
00:53:19:00	00:53:19:00	GOALS.
00:53:19:00	00:53:20:00	SO THIS IS HOW WE CREATE
00:53:20:00	00:53:20:00	PREDICTABILITY IN HOUSING FOR
00:53:20:00	00:53:20:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON.
00:53:20:00	00:53:23:00	THIS IS HOW WE MAKE SURE THAT

00:53:26:00	00:53:26:00	AFFORD TO LIVE.
00:53:26:00	00:53:29:00	AND IT'S ONE IMPORTANT PART

00:53:55:00	00:53:55:00	NEEDED HOUSING IS SOMETHING WE
00:53:55:00	00:53:58:00	SHOULD CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR
00:53:58:00	00:53:58:00	AS A CITY THAT CONTINUES TO
00:53:58:00	00:54:01:00	REINVENT OLD SOLUTIONS TO FIX
00:54:01:00	00:54:02:00	CURRENT PROBLEMS IN A SIMILAR

00:54:07:00	00:54:10:00	SCHOOL IN ROSLINDALE A HISTORIC
00:54:10:00	00:54:10:00	MOMENT WHERE THE OLD WASHINGTON
00:54:10:00	00:54:11:00	IRVING SCHOOL BUILDING WAS
00:54:11:00	00:54:14:00	REPURPOSED TO FIT A MERGER
00:54:14:00	00:54:15:00	OF TWO SMALLER SCHOOLS IN THE
00:54:15:00	00:54:15:00	NEIGHBORHOOD.
00:54:15:00	00:54:18:00	NOW SMALL BUILDINGS THAT COULD
00:54:18:00	00:54:19:00	POSSIBLY FIT WHO KNOWS WHAT IN
00:54:19:00	00:54:22:00	THE FUTURE ARE AVAILABLE AND

00:54:22:00	00:54:26:00	ALREADY THE PRIDE THAT IS A
00:54:26:00	00:54:26:00	VERY CLEAR EXAMPLE AND RIGHT IN
00:54:26:00	00:54:29:00	MY OR MY DISTRICT OF A SCHOOL
00:54:29:00	00:54:29:00	BUILDING THAT'S TRANSFORMED
00:54:29:00	00:54:30:00	INTO THIS BEAUTIFUL MAGNIFICENT

00:54:34:00	00:54:37:00	IS THE HEART AND SOUL OF HIGH
00:54:37:00	00:54:37:00	PARK.
00:54:37:00	00:54:38:00	SO THERE'S SO MUCH OPPORTUNITY
00:54:38:00	00:54:41:00	THAT WE CAN DO WITH SURPLUS
00:54:41:00	00:54:42:00	BUILDINGS AND LAND IN GENERAL
00:54:42:00	00:54:45:00	IN THE CITY OF BOSTON.
00:54:45:00	00:54:46:00	I'VE ALSO HEARD CREATIVE IDEAS
00:54:46:00	00:54:48:00	OF USING EXISTING LIBRARY
00:54:48:00	00:54:49:00	SPACES IN POTENTIALLY BUILDING
00:54:49:00	00:54:53:00	AFFORDABLE HOUSING ON TOP

00:55:35:00	00:55:37:00	PEOPLE HAVE TO MOVE OUT OF THE

00:55:49:00	00:55:50:00	AND WE KNOW ONE OF THE DRIVERS
00:55:50:00	00:55:53:00	OF HIGH HOUSING COSTS IS THE

00:55:53:00	00:55:57:00	USE SURPLUS LAND HOPEFULLY WILL
00:55:57:00	00:55:57:00	START TO DECREASE THE COSTS FOR
00:55:57:00	00:56:00:00	DEVELOPERS TO CREATE AFFORDABLE
00:56:00:00	00:56:00:00	HOUSING.
00:56:00:00	00:56:02:00	THERE'S NOT ONE SILVER BULLET
00:56:02:00	00:56:03:00	BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE OTHER

00:56:22:00	00:56:22:00	COUNCILOR FITZGERALD KELSEY
00:56:22:00	00:56:23:00	OF THE FLOOR.
00:56:23:00	00:56:25:00	THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR.
00:56:25:00	00:56:26:00	QUESTION IF I COULD TO THE
00:56:26:00	00:56:26:00	COUNCIL FROM EAST BOSTON.
00:56:26:00	00:56:29:00	OKAY.
00:56:29:00	00:56:30:00	QUESTION TO THE CHAIR IF YOU DO
00:56:30:00	00:56:33:00	SEE TO YEP.
00:56:33:00	00:56:33:00	GREAT.
00:56:33:00	00:56:33:00	THANK YOU.
00:56:33:00	00:56:36:00	I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IN
00:56:36:00	00:56:37:00	THIS PROCESS THAT THERE IS
00:56:37:00	00:56:37:00	NOTHING THAT CHANGES THE
00:56:37:00	00:56:40:00	PROCESS FOR WHICH THE LAND IS
00:56:40:00	00:56:40:00	ACTUALLY ATTRIBUTED TO ANY
00:56:40:00	00:56:44:00	DEVELOPER IT DOES NOT CHANGE.
00:56:44:00	00:56:45:00	IT'S STILL THE RFP PROCESS THAT
00:56:45:00	00:56:47:00	WILL GO OUT THAT IS RUN THAT'S
00:56:47:00	00:56:48:00	THE SAME AS TODAY.
00:56:48:00	00:56:49:00	THIS IS JUST PRIORITIZING THE
00:56:49:00	00:56:51:00	USE OF THAT LAND FIRST.
00:56:51:00	00:56:52:00	CORRECT.
00:56:52:00	00:56:55:00	SO IT DOESN'T IT DOESN'T FAVOR
00:56:55:00	00:56:56:00	ANY ONE PERSON TO BUILD ON THAT
00:56:56:00	00:57:00:00	LAND OR NOT GET EXCITED ABOUT
00:57:00:00	00:57:00:00	IT.
00:57:00:00	00:57:03:00	THE FLOOR YEAH THAT'S EXACTLY
00:57:03:00	00:57:04:00	CORRECT AND I FEEL LIKE IT MAY
00:57:04:00	00:57:04:00	BE HELPFUL FOR FOLKS TO WALK
00:57:04:00	00:57:07:00	THROUGH AND MAYBE THE NOT THE
00:57:07:00	00:57:08:00	ENTIRE PROCESS BUT GENERALLY SO
00:57:08:00	00:57:09:00	THERE'S THERE'S FOUR COMPONENTS
00:57:09:00	00:57:10:00	OF IT.
00:57:10:00	00:57:10:00	SO FIRST OF ALL THE CITY
00:57:10:00	00:57:11:00	DEPARTMENT SO LET'S TAKE THAT
00:57:11:00	00:57:13:00	AS POSSIBLY STATION FOR EXAMPLE
00:57:13:00	00:57:17:00	THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAD SAID
00:57:17:00	00:57:17:00	THAT THEY DON'T NEED IT ANY
00:57:17:00	00:57:18:00	LONGER AND SO THAT COMMENCES A
00:57:18:00	00:57:21:00	SURPLUS PROCESS.
00:57:21:00	00:57:21:00	IT GOES TO PFC.
00:57:21:00	00:57:22:00	PFC HAS THE AUTHORITY UPON
00:57:22:00	00:57:24:00	APPROVAL FROM THE MAYOR TO
00:57:24:00	00:57:25:00	ACQUIRE LEASE, RENT OR SELL
00:57:25:00	00:57:28:00	CITY OWNED PROPERTY THAT HAS
00:57:28:00	00:57:31:00	BEEN DEEMED IN SURPLUS AND THEN
00:57:31:00	00:57:32:00	SO UNDER 30 B WHICH IS
00:57:32:00	00:57:35:00	PROCUREMENT, THE COMMISSION HAS
00:57:35:00	00:57:36:00	TO FIRST DECLARE THAT THE
00:57:36:00	00:57:38:00	PARCEL IS AVAILABLE AND SPELL
00:57:38:00	00:57:39:00	OUT ANY SORT OF USE
00:57:39:00	00:57:39:00	RESTRICTIONS.
00:57:39:00	00:57:42:00	AND SO THIS IS WHERE WE KIND
00:57:42:00	00:57:45:00	OF BIFURCATE STEP THREE OUT
00:57:45:00	00:57:45:00	OF FOUR WHERE AMMO WHICH IS NOW
00:57:45:00	00:57:49:00	INTEGRATED INTO THE PROCESS
00:57:49:00	00:57:52:00	WHERE BEFORE THE RFP IS GIVEN
00:57:52:00	00:57:53:00	THEY WORK IN TANDEM WITH THE
00:57:53:00	00:57:53:00	PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO
00:57:53:00	00:57:56:00	UNDERSTAND WHAT THE USE WILL.
00:57:56:00	00:57:57:00	SO IS IT AFFORDABLE HOUSING?
00:57:57:00	00:57:58:00	WILL IT BE USED FOR SOMETHING
00:57:58:00	00:58:00:00	LIKE A FOOD HUB?
00:58:00:00	00:58:01:00	ALL OF THAT BUT THE 30 B IS
00:58:01:00	00:58:04:00	PRETTY MUCH PROTECTED BY STATE
00:58:04:00	00:58:04:00	LAW.
00:58:04:00	00:58:05:00	SO IT'LL IT'LL BASICALLY BE THE
00:58:05:00	00:58:06:00	SAME PROCESS BUT WE'RE
00:58:06:00	00:58:08:00	SPLITTING THAT PROCESS UP AND
00:58:08:00	00:58:08:00	INTEGRATING AMMO AGENT INTO

00:59:38:00	00:59:39:00	OWNED BUILDINGS ARE SOME OF THE

01:13:28:00	01:13:28:00	TESTIMONY.
01:13:28:00	01:13:29:00	I'VE LEARNED A LOT FROM FROM
01:13:29:00	01:13:32:00	THE RESIDENTS OF JAMAICA PLAIN.
01:13:32:00	01:13:35:00	I DIDN'T NECESSARILY ADVOCATE
01:13:35:00	01:13:36:00	FOR ANY PARTICULAR DESIGN
01:13:36:00	01:13:37:00	BECAUSE I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH
01:13:37:00	01:13:40:00	THE WHAT THE AREA BUT WHAT I
01:13:40:00	01:13:40:00	HIGHLIGHTED IS SOMETHING
01:13:40:00	01:13:43:00	SIMILAR TO WHAT COUNCILOR WE'RE
01:13:43:00	01:13:46:00	ALL MENTIONED IS THE CRITICAL
01:13:46:00	01:13:47:00	NEED FOR TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT IN
01:13:47:00	01:13:50:00	BOSTON ENSURING THAT THE BOSTON

01:13:54:00	01:13:58:00	TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT CITING
01:13:58:00	01:14:00:00	PEOPLE ARRESTING PEOPLE.
01:14:00:00	01:14:01:00	ONE PERSON COUNCIL OF PEPEN
01:14:01:00	01:14:02:00	WILL TELL YOU WAS DRIVING UP
01:14:02:00	01:14:04:00	HYDE PARK AVENUE GOING 70 MILES
01:14:04:00	01:14:08:00	AN HOUR, 70 MILES AN HOUR ON A
01:14:08:00	01:14:12:00	ON A NARROW, NARROW STREET AND
01:14:12:00	01:14:16:00	THEY COULD NOT STOP HE IF HE
01:14:16:00	01:14:20:00	HAD TO CROSSING A CROSSWALK.
01:14:20:00	01:14:21:00	IMAGINE IMAGINE AS A LITTLE KID
01:14:21:00	01:14:23:00	AND IT'S BEEN IN THE CHILD'S
01:14:23:00	01:14:24:00	MOTHER OR FATHER WOULD TAKING
01:14:24:00	01:14:25:00	HIM OR AN ELDERLY PERSON OR
01:14:25:00	01:14:28:00	PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES.
01:14:28:00	01:14:29:00	WE NEED TO DO MORE ON TRAFFIC
01:14:29:00	01:14:32:00	ENFORCEMENT THAT'S A THAT'S A
01:14:32:00	01:14:32:00	CRITICAL ISSUE ACROSS ACROSS
01:14:32:00	01:14:32:00	THE CITY.
01:14:32:00	01:14:35:00	IS THIS ACROSS THE CITY?
01:14:35:00	01:14:36:00	ONE OF THE FINAL POINT I MADE
01:14:36:00	01:14:39:00	WAS AND I THINK
01:14:39:00	01:14:39:00	COUNCILOR COUNCILOR WEBER
01:14:39:00	01:14:42:00	MENTIONED IT CONCURRENT
01:14:42:00	01:14:46:00	SIGNALING AND THAT IS WHEN A
01:14:46:00	01:14:50:00	PEDESTRIAN ALMOST HAS THE SAME
01:14:50:00	01:14:50:00	RIGHT OF WAY TO CROSS THE
01:14:50:00	01:14:53:00	STREET AS A VEHICLE TAKING SAY
01:14:53:00	01:14:54:00	TAKING A RIGHT TURN AND THEN
01:14:54:00	01:14:57:00	THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSES AT THE
01:14:57:00	01:14:58:00	SAME TIME THIS BODY THE CITY
01:14:58:00	01:15:01:00	COUNCIL BODY VOTED 13 TO
01:15:01:00	01:15:05:00	NOTHING TO ASK THE CITY NOT TO
01:15:05:00	01:15:08:00	HAVE THAT POLICY ANYMORE AND I
01:15:08:00	01:15:09:00	WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO MY
01:15:09:00	01:15:10:00	CITY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES.
01:15:10:00	01:15:11:00	I BROUGHT THIS UP THE OTHER
01:15:11:00	01:15:12:00	NIGHT AND I RECEIVED PUSHBACK
01:15:12:00	01:15:16:00	FROM THE CHIEF OF STREETS ON
01:15:16:00	01:15:17:00	THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE AND WE WE
01:15:17:00	01:15:21:00	DEBATED IT AND I STILL BELIEVE
01:15:21:00	01:15:21:00	THAT WE NEED TO MAKE THIS
01:15:21:00	01:15:24:00	SIGNIFICANT CHANGE ACROSS THE
01:15:24:00	01:15:24:00	CITY.
01:15:24:00	01:15:27:00	WE NEED TO SEE IT HAPPEN TODAY
01:15:27:00	01:15:27:00	.
01:15:27:00	01:15:28:00	AGAIN, I'M CALLING ON THE CHIEF

01:15:32:00	01:15:32:00	A CHANGE IN THE LIGHTING WHERE
01:15:32:00	01:15:35:00	THE PEDESTRIAN AND THE CAR
01:15:35:00	01:15:36:00	DON'T HAVE THE SAME RIGHT
01:15:36:00	01:15:39:00	OF WAY AT THE SAME TIME IN MY
01:15:39:00	01:15:40:00	OPINION THE PEDESTRIAN HAS THE
01:15:40:00	01:15:41:00	RIGHT AWAY AND THEN AT A
01:15:41:00	01:15:43:00	CERTAIN POINT THEN THE VEHICLE
01:15:43:00	01:15:44:00	HAS THE RIGHT AWAY BUT UNDER NO
01:15:44:00	01:15:48:00	CIRCUMSTANCE CAN BOTH OF THEM
01:15:48:00	01:15:49:00	HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY.

01:16:17:00	01:16:17:00	BRIGHTON.
01:16:17:00	01:16:20:00	IT'S CLOSE TO A PUBLIC HOUSING
01:16:20:00	01:16:24:00	FACILITY AND A PARK THAT'S WELL
01:16:24:00	01:16:24:00	USED BY NEIGHBORS.
01:16:24:00	01:16:27:00	WE'VE HAD A INCREDIBLE AMOUNT
01:16:27:00	01:16:27:00	OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND
01:16:27:00	01:16:31:00	EXCITEMENT ABOUT HAVING THESE
01:16:31:00	01:16:34:00	FIRST SEVEN SAFETY SURGES AND
01:16:34:00	01:16:36:00	50 SURGE SPEED BUMPS AND I SAID
01:16:36:00	01:16:40:00	THE FIRST AND ONLY WE HAVE
01:16:40:00	01:16:41:00	SEVEN SPEED BUMPS IN ALLSTON
01:16:41:00	01:16:44:00	BRIGHTON THAT ARE PART OF THE
01:16:44:00	01:16:45:00	SAFETY SURGE ONLY SEVEN WITH
01:16:45:00	01:16:49:00	THE SIZE OF SOMERVILLE YET
01:16:49:00	01:16:52:00	WITHIN THAT WAS LAST WEEK ON
01:16:52:00	01:16:53:00	THE WEEKEND WE HAD A FEW
01:16:53:00	01:16:56:00	HUNDRED FEET FROM FROM FANEUIL
01:16:56:00	01:16:56:00	STREET ON MARKET STREET WE HAD
01:16:56:00	01:17:00:00	A CAR TRAVELING AT SPEED THAT
01:17:00:00	01:17:00:00	HIT A CONCRETE LIGHT POLE,
01:17:00:00	01:17:04:00	KNOCKED THE CONCRETE LIGHT POLE
01:17:04:00	01:17:07:00	DOWN AND HIT HIT A HOUSE AND
01:17:07:00	01:17:08:00	THANKFULLY THERE WAS NOBODY
01:17:08:00	01:17:11:00	SERIOUSLY INJURED AND THE FOLKS
01:17:11:00	01:17:12:00	WERE ABLE TO WALK AWAY FROM THE
01:17:12:00	01:17:15:00	THE SITE THE SCENE.
01:17:15:00	01:17:16:00	BUT I THINK BACK TO THE POINT
01:17:16:00	01:17:19:00	ABOUT TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT.
01:17:19:00	01:17:19:00	WE'VE TALKED TO THE BOSTON
01:17:19:00	01:17:22:00	POLICE DEPARTMENT TRAFFIC
01:17:22:00	01:17:23:00	ENFORCEMENT 24 SEVEN IS NOT
01:17:23:00	01:17:26:00	REALLY A FEASIBLE OPTION GIVEN
01:17:26:00	01:17:30:00	STAFFING LEVELS, ETC. BUT I
01:17:30:00	01:17:31:00	THINK THE RED LIGHT CAMERAS AND
01:17:31:00	01:17:32:00	AND THEY THINK WE NEED TO
01:17:32:00	01:17:34:00	REVISIT CONCURRENT SIGNALING
01:17:34:00	01:17:37:00	AND THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT
01:17:37:00	01:17:38:00	MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS ARE
01:17:38:00	01:17:39:00	USED AS CUT THROUGH FOR PEOPLE
01:17:39:00	01:17:42:00	WHO ARE TRAVELING THROUGH THE
01:17:42:00	01:17:42:00	NEIGHBORHOOD TO GET SOMEWHERE
01:17:42:00	01:17:43:00	ELSE AND THEY'RE ALWAYS IN A
01:17:43:00	01:17:45:00	HURRY AND IT'S MAKING OUR
01:17:45:00	01:17:45:00	ROADWAYS VERY, VERY DANGEROUS
01:17:45:00	01:17:46:00	FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

01:17:53:00	01:17:53:00	HEARING.
01:17:53:00	01:17:54:00	I KNOW IT WASN'T IN MY DISTRICT
01:17:54:00	01:17:56:00	BUT I THINK WE NEED TO CONTINUE
01:17:56:00	01:17:57:00	ELEVATING THE IMPORTANCE
01:17:57:00	01:17:57:00	OF THIS ISSUE SO THAT ALL

01:32:30:00	01:32:34:00	THIS HEARING ORDER HAS
01:32:34:00	01:32:34:00	GENERATED A LOT OF INTEREST AS

01:32:38:00	01:32:41:00	NEWS IS RIGHT IN THIS MOMENT AS

01:32:45:00	01:32:49:00	BENEFITS BEING CUT AND THE
01:32:49:00	01:32:50:00	INCREASE OF INCREASE OF FOOD
01:32:50:00	01:32:53:00	DUE TO INFLATION DUE TO TARIFFS
01:32:53:00	01:32:57:00	THE COST OF FOOD SORRY AND IT'S
01:32:57:00	01:32:57:00	IN THIS MOMENT THE BOSTON
01:32:57:00	01:33:01:00	GREATER BOSTON FOOD BANK DID IS
01:33:01:00	01:33:05:00	IS FLAGGING UP THE FACT THAT AN
01:33:05:00	01:33:05:00	INCREASING NUMBER OF OUR
01:33:05:00	01:33:06:00	RESIDENTS IN THE CITY OF BOSTON
01:33:06:00	01:33:09:00	ARE FOOD INSECURE TO THIS
01:33:09:00	01:33:13:00	HEARING IS ASKING US TO EXPLORE
01:33:13:00	01:33:17:00	THE POSSIBILITY OF WHETHER OR

01:33:17:00	01:33:21:00	FUNDED GROCERY STORES WOULD BE
01:33:21:00	01:33:24:00	ANOTHER TOOL THAT WE COULD USE
01:33:24:00	01:33:25:00	TO STRENGTHEN OUR FOOD
01:33:25:00	01:33:26:00	INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE CITY

01:33:31:00	01:33:35:00	ALTERNATIVE MODES OF FOOD
01:33:35:00	01:33:36:00	ACCESS IS VITAL AT THIS POINT.
01:33:36:00	01:33:36:00	MANY OF US LIVE IN
01:33:36:00	01:33:40:00	NEIGHBORHOODS SUCH AS RUNDLE
01:33:40:00	01:33:43:00	SQUARE AND BRIGHTON CENTER IS A
01:33:43:00	01:33:44:00	FOOD DESERT.
01:33:44:00	01:33:44:00	BELIEVE IT OR NOT, WE HAVE
01:33:44:00	01:33:47:00	RESIDENTS IN THE CITY OF BOSTON
01:33:47:00	01:33:48:00	WHO LIVE ACROSS THE STREET FROM
01:33:48:00	01:33:51:00	WONDERFUL GROCERY STORES BUT

01:33:59:00	01:33:59:00	TRYING TO RAISE A FAMILY.
01:33:59:00	01:34:00:00	AND VERY OFTEN THE THE FACT
01:34:00:00	01:34:03:00	THAT THERE'S A FOOD FOOD STORE
01:34:03:00	01:34:03:00	ACROSS THE STREET BUT THEY'RE
01:34:03:00	01:34:06:00	NOT ABLE TO ACCESS IT.

01:34:10:00	01:34:13:00	USES THE TERM FOOD APARTHEID
01:34:13:00	01:34:14:00	BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT YOU
01:34:14:00	01:34:17:00	HAVE A GROCERY STORE ACROSS THE
01:34:17:00	01:34:18:00	STREET DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN
01:34:18:00	01:34:19:00	THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO AFFORD TO
01:34:19:00	01:34:21:00	BUY FOOD THERE.

01:46:46:00	01:46:47:00	I'M THANKFUL THAT THE FEDERAL
01:46:47:00	01:46:50:00	MINIMUM WAGE IS STUCK AT AROUND
01:46:50:00	01:46:51:00	725 AN HOUR THINK THAT WE HAVE
01:46:51:00	01:46:53:00	HIGHER MINIMUM WAGE AND LOOK
01:46:53:00	01:46:57:00	FOR WAYS TO, YOU KNOW, SUPPORT
01:46:57:00	01:46:57:00	OUR WORKERS.
01:46:57:00	01:46:58:00	I'D ASK THAT AT THE HEARING
01:46:58:00	01:47:02:00	MAYBE WE TALK ABOUT ALSO THE
01:47:02:00	01:47:02:00	BOSTON LIVING WAGE ORDINANCE
01:47:02:00	01:47:03:00	WHICH SETS A SLIGHTLY HIGHER
01:47:03:00	01:47:05:00	MINIMUM WAGE I THINK IT'S ABOUT
01:47:05:00	01:47:08:00	$18.78 FOR CITY VENDORS WHO ARE
01:47:08:00	01:47:09:00	PAYING CITY WORKERS.
01:47:09:00	01:47:12:00	UH, LOOK AT THAT FORMULA AND
01:47:12:00	01:47:13:00	MAKE SURE WE'RE SUPPORTING OUR
01:47:13:00	01:47:13:00	CITY WORKERS TOO.
01:47:13:00	01:47:16:00	I THINK YOU KNOW, WE HEARD FROM
01:47:16:00	01:47:19:00	A LOT OF FOLKS OR NOT WE BUT
01:47:19:00	01:47:20:00	YOU KNOW AROUND THE COUNTRY
01:47:20:00	01:47:22:00	WHEN THEY SET A MINIMUM WAGE
01:47:22:00	01:47:22:00	OF $0.25 AN HOUR IN 1938 THAT
01:47:22:00	01:47:25:00	THIS IS GOING TO DESTROY THE
01:47:25:00	01:47:26:00	ECONOMY IN THE UNITED STATES
01:47:26:00	01:47:29:00	AND WOULDN'T BE SUPPORTABLE.
01:47:29:00	01:47:30:00	WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'VE SEEN
01:47:30:00	01:47:30:00	THAT'S NOT CORRECT.
01:47:30:00	01:47:33:00	AND BY SUPPORTING OUR WORKERS,
01:47:33:00	01:47:34:00	YOU KNOW, WE'RE ONLY HELPING
01:47:34:00	01:47:35:00	NOT JUST THE WORKERS BUT OUR
01:47:35:00	01:47:37:00	ECONOMY TOO.

01:47:59:00	01:48:00:00	HEARING ORDER ON FOOD JUSTICE
01:48:00:00	01:48:00:00	AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
01:48:00:00	01:48:04:00	WE LOOK AT THE ECONOMIC JUSTICE
01:48:04:00	01:48:07:00	ISSUES HERE IN OUR CITY.
01:48:07:00	01:48:08:00	THE WORK THAT MY OFFICE HAS

01:48:11:00	01:48:12:00	MINIMUM WAGE FOR CITY EMPLOYEES

01:48:19:00	01:48:23:00	CHIEF FLORENCE'S SHOP ON THAT
01:48:23:00	01:48:23:00	BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY
01:48:23:00	01:48:24:00	IMPORTANT IF WE ARE TALKING
01:48:24:00	01:48:27:00	ABOUT HOUSING AS A BASIC RIGHT

01:48:30:00	01:48:33:00	I THINK IT'S TIME FOR US TO

02:05:06:00	02:05:10:00	I ALSO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT LAST

02:05:23:00	02:05:27:00	SOMEONE THEY CALLED A ONE FOR A
02:05:27:00	02:05:30:00	BACKUP AND THE CRUISERS CAME TO
02:05:30:00	02:05:31:00	SUPPORT OUR OFFICERS WHO WERE

02:05:31:00	02:05:34:00	MANY OF THOSE WHO WERE A PART
02:05:34:00	02:05:35:00	OF THE RALLY THEN BLOCKED THE
02:05:35:00	02:05:37:00	POLICE CARS AND THEN BROKEN

02:06:30:00	02:06:30:00	THIS IS AWESOME.
02:06:30:00	02:06:34:00	THIS IS ATTEMPTED MURDER LAST
02:06:34:00	02:06:37:00	NIGHT IN DOWNTOWN BOSTON POLICE

02:06:38:00	02:06:39:00	VIOLENT PROTEST MOB.
02:06:39:00	02:06:41:00	IT WAS A RIOT.
02:06:41:00	02:06:42:00	POLICE OFFICERS WERE
02:06:42:00	02:06:45:00	OUTNUMBERED AND UNPREPARED FOR
02:06:45:00	02:06:45:00	THIS RIOT.
02:06:45:00	02:06:49:00	ALTHOUGH WE ARE A CITY THAT
02:06:49:00	02:06:49:00	WELCOMES PUBLIC PROTEST, WHAT
02:06:49:00	02:06:52:00	WE EXPERIENCED LAST NIGHT WAS A
02:06:52:00	02:06:52:00	RIOT.
02:06:52:00	02:06:53:00	IT IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE TO
02:06:53:00	02:06:56:00	ASSAULT POLICE OFFICER OR FOUR

02:07:05:00	02:07:08:00	IS WARRANTED.
02:07:08:00	02:07:09:00	THERE ALSO NEEDS TO BE HIGHER
02:07:09:00	02:07:12:00	BAIL FOR THOSE WHO ARE

02:07:15:00	02:07:15:00	THE STREETS OF BOSTON.
02:07:15:00	02:07:19:00	IT IS CRITICAL THAT WE SUPPORT
02:07:19:00	02:07:20:00	OUR POLICE OFFICERS AND THEIR
02:07:20:00	02:07:22:00	FAMILIES.

02:07:53:00	02:07:53:00	DO FOR RECRUITMENT?
02:07:53:00	02:07:54:00	WHAT DOES IT DO FOR RETAINING
02:07:54:00	02:07:57:00	POLICE OFFICERS?
02:07:57:00	02:07:58:00	MANY HAVE GONE ON TO THE FIRE

02:08:32:00	02:08:34:00	THE BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT IS
02:08:34:00	02:08:35:00	ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY TRAINED
02:08:35:00	02:08:35:00	IN THE COUNTRY.
02:08:35:00	02:08:38:00	THEY ARE NOT PART OF THE
02:08:38:00	02:08:38:00	PROBLEM.
02:08:38:00	02:08:39:00	THEY ARE PART OF THE SOLUTION.

02:08:58:00	02:09:01:00	ENOUGH POLICE OFFICERS PRESENT.
02:09:01:00	02:09:02:00	I DON'T THINK THE POLICE
02:09:02:00	02:09:04:00	OFFICERS HAD THE RIGHT
02:09:04:00	02:09:05:00	EQUIPMENT AS WELL.

02:09:16:00	02:09:19:00	WE NEED TO GET INVOLVED IN THIS
02:09:19:00	02:09:20:00	ISSUE AND GET OFF THE

02:09:27:00	02:09:28:00	IT'S GREAT TO HAVE PEOPLE WHO

02:09:29:00	02:09:31:00	SPEAK UP AND SPEAK OUT WHETHER
02:09:31:00	02:09:34:00	IT'S ABOUT DEMOCRACY BEING
02:09:34:00	02:09:35:00	DISMANTLED BEFORE OUR EYES OR
02:09:35:00	02:09:36:00	STANDING UP FOR ANY OF THE
02:09:36:00	02:09:39:00	NUMEROUS ATROCITIES AROUND THE
02:09:39:00	02:09:39:00	WORLD, PEOPLE SHOULD STAND UP.
02:09:39:00	02:09:40:00	THAT GIVES ME HOPE.
02:09:40:00	02:09:43:00	BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE WE'RE AT A
02:09:43:00	02:09:45:00	TIPPING POINT BEYOND ACTUALLY
02:09:45:00	02:09:46:00	WITH HOW FOLKS ARE STANDING UP.
02:09:46:00	02:09:50:00	SINCE WHEN DOES BREAKING A
02:09:50:00	02:09:50:00	POLICE OFFICERS A BOSTON POLICE
02:09:50:00	02:09:53:00	OFFICER'S NOSE A MEMBER OF THE
02:09:53:00	02:09:54:00	FINEST POLICE FORCE IN THE
02:09:54:00	02:09:54:00	COUNTRY HELP ADVOCATE FOR YOUR
02:09:54:00	02:09:57:00	CAUSE NO MATTER THE CAUSE

02:09:58:00	02:10:01:00	THE SOUTH END AND LAST NIGHT'S
02:10:01:00	02:10:01:00	PROTESTS BY BOSTON COMMON, AT

02:10:05:00	02:10:06:00	MULTIPLE VEHICLES VANDALIZED.
02:10:06:00	02:10:09:00	I THINK ABOUT THE HEARING WE
02:10:09:00	02:10:10:00	HAD AROUND THE BPD CLERK THAT
02:10:10:00	02:10:13:00	WAS ASSAULTED AND THE DISGUST
02:10:13:00	02:10:13:00	AND OUTRAGE WE ALL FELT WHEN
02:10:13:00	02:10:14:00	THE CITY WORKER WAS ASSAULTED
02:10:14:00	02:10:17:00	IN PAST THREE DAYS WE'VE HAD
02:10:17:00	02:10:21:00	SIX ASSAULTED.
02:10:21:00	02:10:21:00	DISCIPLINE IS NOT FUN BUT IT IS
02:10:21:00	02:10:22:00	NECESSARY.
02:10:22:00	02:10:24:00	I'M LEARNING THAT AS A PARENT
02:10:24:00	02:10:25:00	OF THREE KIDS WE MUST APPLY
02:10:25:00	02:10:28:00	PROPER DISCIPLINE FOR THE
02:10:28:00	02:10:29:00	PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THE
02:10:29:00	02:10:29:00	SEVERITY OF THEIR ACTIONS
02:10:29:00	02:10:32:00	WHETHER IT BE FOR POLITICAL OR
02:10:32:00	02:10:32:00	ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES.
02:10:32:00	02:10:35:00	AND FINALLY I CHALLENGE THOSE
02:10:35:00	02:10:36:00	WHO PARTICIPATE IN ANY TYPE
02:10:36:00	02:10:39:00	OF PROTEST ANYWHERE FOR ANY
02:10:39:00	02:10:39:00	CAUSE.
02:10:39:00	02:10:43:00	FOLLOW THE GOLDEN RULE LEAD BY
02:10:43:00	02:10:43:00	EXAMPLE.
02:10:43:00	02:10:44:00	THAT'S THE HARD THING TO DO TO
02:10:44:00	02:10:47:00	LEAD BY EXAMPLE.
02:10:47:00	02:10:48:00	I THINK OF MY OWN CHILDREN
02:10:48:00	02:10:49:00	LOOKING UP TO ME AND HOW I
02:10:49:00	02:10:51:00	WOULD ACT AND MIGHT ACT.
02:10:51:00	02:10:52:00	AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS
02:10:52:00	02:10:54:00	NEXT GENERATION HAS GOOD ROLE
02:10:54:00	02:10:55:00	MODELS AND GOOD PEOPLE TO
02:10:55:00	02:10:59:00	FOLLOW.
02:10:59:00	02:10:59:00	ANYONE CAN START A FIGHT.
02:10:59:00	02:11:03:00	ANYONE CAN CAUSE TROUBLE.
02:11:03:00	02:11:03:00	THAT TO ME IS THE EASIEST AND
02:11:03:00	02:11:06:00	LOWEST FORM OF ACTION ANYONE
02:11:06:00	02:11:07:00	CAN TAKE TO TRULY ENACT CHANGE.
02:11:07:00	02:11:10:00	YOU MUST BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT
02:11:10:00	02:11:11:00	TO SEE IN THE WORLD.
02:11:11:00	02:11:14:00	AND IF WE DO EMBRACE THE WORDS
02:11:14:00	02:11:15:00	OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR THAT
02:11:15:00	02:11:15:00	ONLY LOVE CAN DRIVE OUT HATE.
02:11:15:00	02:11:18:00	THEN LET'S START ACTING LIKE
02:11:18:00	02:11:18:00	THAT.
02:11:18:00	02:11:19:00	OUR POLICE OFFICERS AND FIRST
02:11:19:00	02:11:22:00	RESPONDERS HAVE A DIFFICULT JOB
02:11:22:00	02:11:22:00	AS IT IS AND WE SHOULD SUPPORT
02:11:22:00	02:11:23:00	THEM EVERY DAY NOT JUST WHEN
