00:10:53:00	00:10:53:00	SUPPORT THIS.
00:10:53:00	00:10:54:00	WE'VE BEEN IN CONVERSATION WITH
00:10:54:00	00:10:56:00	THE PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES OVER
00:10:56:00	00:10:57:00	THE LAST YEAR OR SO AND IT'S
00:10:57:00	00:11:01:00	SORT OF SHOCKING TO REALIZE
00:11:01:00	00:11:01:00	THAT THEY'RE SUCH ESPECIALLY
00:11:01:00	00:11:02:00	THOSE THAT WORK IN THE SCHOOL
00:11:02:00	00:11:04:00	DEPARTMENT AND SCHOOLS.
00:11:04:00	00:11:05:00	THERE'S SUCH A DISPARITY
00:11:05:00	00:11:07:00	BETWEEN THE WAGE LEVELS OF OUR
00:11:07:00	00:11:08:00	PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES AND THOSE

00:11:17:00	00:11:17:00	PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE
00:11:17:00	00:11:20:00	HAS BEEN DEGRADED AT A NATIONAL
00:11:20:00	00:11:21:00	LEVEL AND SO IT'S REALLY
00:11:21:00	00:11:23:00	IMPORTANT THAT WE ARE ABLE TO
00:11:23:00	00:11:24:00	HIRE AND RETAIN HIGHLY

00:11:31:00	00:11:31:00	SYSTEM IN THE CITY OF BOSTON.
00:11:31:00	00:11:34:00	SO I HOPE THAT WE CAN PASS THIS
00:11:34:00	00:11:38:00	AND EXPEDITE THE REIMBURSEMENT
00:11:38:00	00:11:42:00	OF PAST EARNINGS THAT THEY'RE
00:11:42:00	00:11:42:00	MISSED OUT AND HOPEFULLY THAT
00:11:42:00	00:11:43:00	WE WILL NOT BE DELAYING THE
00:11:43:00	00:11:46:00	NEXT TIME WE HAVE A CONTRACT

00:26:51:00	00:26:51:00	EXAM SCHOOL SYSTEM THAT YOU
00:26:51:00	00:26:54:00	KNOW, WE HAVE TO HAVE A SYSTEM
00:26:54:00	00:26:55:00	HERE THAT REWARDS NOT JUST KIDS
00:26:55:00	00:26:58:00	WHO TEST WELL BUT KIDS WHO

00:27:03:00	00:27:03:00	SCORED HIGHLY ON THE TESTS.
00:27:03:00	00:27:06:00	AND THAT'S THAT'S WHAT THESE
00:27:06:00	00:27:07:00	CHANGES GET AT.
00:27:07:00	00:27:10:00	YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT A
00:27:10:00	00:27:10:00	COUPLE ISSUES.
00:27:10:00	00:27:14:00	YOU KNOW WHAT THIS NEW WHAT THE
00:27:14:00	00:27:14:00	NEW PROPOSALS DO WHICH WILL BE
00:27:14:00	00:27:17:00	VOTED ON I THINK BY THE SCHOOL
00:27:17:00	00:27:18:00	COMMITTEE IN EARLY NOVEMBER.
00:27:18:00	00:27:19:00	YOU KNOW, WOULD THEY REMOVE
00:27:19:00	00:27:22:00	BONUS POINTS AND WOULD CREATE A

00:27:25:00	00:27:29:00	SEATS THAT THE THREE TEST IN
00:27:29:00	00:27:29:00	SCHOOLS YOU KNOW, THIS IS
00:27:29:00	00:27:32:00	SWINGING THE PENDULUM BACK
00:27:32:00	00:27:33:00	TOWARD PEOPLE WITH KIDS IN
00:27:33:00	00:27:37:00	SCHOOLS THAT DIDN'T GET ANY
00:27:37:00	00:27:37:00	POINTS BEFORE.
00:27:37:00	00:27:38:00	YOU KNOW, THREE OF THOSE PUBLIC
00:27:38:00	00:27:40:00	SCHOOLS ARE IN MY DISTRICT BUT
00:27:40:00	00:27:41:00	THERE WAS A PRIVATE SCHOOL
00:27:41:00	00:27:41:00	STUDENTS AS WELL.
00:27:41:00	00:27:44:00	I THINK WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT
00:27:44:00	00:27:44:00	WAYS TO INCENTIVIZE INTENSIVE
00:27:44:00	00:27:44:00	SCHOOLS.

00:28:04:00	00:28:07:00	THE TESTS IN SCHOOLS ARE YOU
00:28:07:00	00:28:07:00	KNOW IT'S ABOUT A THIRD OF OUR
00:28:07:00	00:28:08:00	STUDENTS GO TO THOSE SCHOOLS.

00:28:23:00	00:28:25:00	REQUIRED AND I LOOK FORWARD TO
00:28:25:00	00:28:26:00	WORKING WITH MY COLLEAGUES ON
00:28:26:00	00:28:26:00	ON THAT ISSUE.
00:28:26:00	00:28:29:00	THANKS.
00:28:29:00	00:28:29:00	THANK YOU.
00:28:29:00	00:28:30:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES COMES
00:28:30:00	00:28:32:00	FORWARD AND YOU HAVE THE FLOOR
00:28:32:00	00:28:32:00	.
00:28:32:00	00:28:33:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT AND
00:28:33:00	00:28:34:00	THANK YOU COUNSELOR SANTANA AND
00:28:34:00	00:28:36:00	EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED.
00:28:36:00	00:28:37:00	I THINK IT WAS A VERY IMPORTANT
00:28:37:00	00:28:40:00	AND IMPORTANT CONVERSATION TO
00:28:40:00	00:28:41:00	HAVE ON THE HEARING THE OTHER
00:28:41:00	00:28:44:00	DAY.
00:28:44:00	00:28:44:00	ONE OF THE ISSUES I RAISED IS
00:28:44:00	00:28:47:00	THAT, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE
00:28:47:00	00:28:51:00	THAT YOUR CHILDREN WHO ARE IN
00:28:51:00	00:28:55:00	DIFFERENT SOCIO ECONOMIC TIERS
00:28:55:00	00:28:55:00	DO NOT HAVE THE SAME ACCESS TO
00:28:55:00	00:29:00:00	BOOKS AND RESOURCES AT SCHOOL
00:29:00:00	00:29:00:00	OR NOT MAYBE NOT AT SCHOOL BUT
00:29:00:00	00:29:03:00	IN AT HOME AND VERY OFTEN THAT
00:29:03:00	00:29:07:00	THAT INEQUITY STARTS AT A VERY
00:29:07:00	00:29:10:00	EARLY AGE AND I FEEL THAT IN
00:29:10:00	00:29:11:00	THE PAST WE HAD THE ADVANCED
00:29:11:00	00:29:14:00	WORK PROGRAM THAT HAD ITS
00:29:14:00	00:29:14:00	MERITS AND ITS DEFICITS.
00:29:14:00	00:29:18:00	BUT I THINK IT WAS A GREAT WAY
00:29:18:00	00:29:19:00	FOR MY MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE
00:29:19:00	00:29:22:00	EXPERIENCE OF STUDENTS AT THE
00:29:22:00	00:29:22:00	JACKSON MOUNT AND THE JACKSON
00:29:22:00	00:29:25:00	MAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WAS THAT
00:29:25:00	00:29:26:00	THE STUDENTS THAT GOT INTO THE
00:29:26:00	00:29:28:00	ADVANCED WORK REGARDLESS
00:29:28:00	00:29:29:00	OF WHAT THEIR FAMILY BACKGROUND
00:29:29:00	00:29:32:00	WAS, REGARDLESS OF WHAT
00:29:32:00	00:29:32:00	LANGUAGES SPOKEN AT HOME,
00:29:32:00	00:29:33:00	REGARDLESS OF THEIR CURRENT
00:29:33:00	00:29:37:00	COUNTRY OF ORIGIN THAT THAT
00:29:37:00	00:29:41:00	EXTRA RIGOR, THAT EXTRA SUPPORT
00:29:41:00	00:29:43:00	IN THEIR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
00:29:43:00	00:29:44:00	ENABLED THEM TO GO ON AND GET
00:29:44:00	00:29:48:00	PAST THE EXAM SCHOOL TEST AND
00:29:48:00	00:29:54:00	PROCEED TO DO VERY WELL IN LIFE
00:29:54:00	00:29:54:00	.
00:29:54:00	00:29:55:00	IT SEEMS THAT THAT IMPETUS HAS
00:29:55:00	00:29:58:00	SORT OF DISAPPEARED AS A LITTLE
00:29:58:00	00:30:01:00	AND AS AS I OFTEN SAY WHEN WE
00:30:01:00	00:30:02:00	COME TO DISCUSS EDUCATION
00:30:02:00	00:30:02:00	OF STUDENTS AREN'T ABLE TO READ
00:30:02:00	00:30:05:00	AT GRADE LEVEL OF GRADE THREE
00:30:05:00	00:30:06:00	AT THIRD GRADE THEY'RE REALLY
00:30:06:00	00:30:06:00	BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL.
00:30:06:00	00:30:09:00	SO I FEEL THAT WHEN WE SPEND A
00:30:09:00	00:30:10:00	LOT OF ENERGY TALKING ABOUT
00:30:10:00	00:30:13:00	EXAM SKILLS BUT WE ALSO NEED TO
00:30:13:00	00:30:13:00	SPEND AN EQUAL AMOUNT
00:30:13:00	00:30:14:00	OF RESOURCES AND THOUGHT AND
00:30:14:00	00:30:17:00	ENERGY IN RAISING OUR LITERACY
00:30:17:00	00:30:19:00	LEVELS SO THAT STUDENTS ARE
00:30:19:00	00:30:20:00	READING AT THIRD GRADE LEVEL
00:30:20:00	00:30:23:00	AND THAT THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE
00:30:23:00	00:30:23:00	PREPARED.
00:30:23:00	00:30:27:00	IT'S THAT UPSTREAM INPUT AND
00:30:27:00	00:30:28:00	THAT UPSTREAM INVESTMENT IN THE
00:30:28:00	00:30:31:00	ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT MAKE IT
00:30:31:00	00:30:32:00	THAT MAKE OUR STUDENTS BE
00:30:32:00	00:30:35:00	SUCCESSFUL WHEN IT COMES TO
00:30:35:00	00:30:39:00	APPLYING FOR EXAM SCHOOLS WE I
00:30:39:00	00:30:39:00	WILL REFERENCE EAST BOSTON HIGH
00:30:39:00	00:30:43:00	SCHOOL AS A AS A SUCCESS IT'S
00:30:43:00	00:30:46:00	IT'S MOVING FORWARD AND UPWARD
00:30:46:00	00:30:47:00	I THINK IF WE PUT AS MUCH
00:30:47:00	00:30:50:00	EFFORT INTO WORKING WITH ALL
00:30:50:00	00:30:51:00	OF OUR GENERAL ADMISSION HIGH
00:30:51:00	00:30:54:00	SCHOOLS AND HAVE REAL OFFERINGS
00:30:54:00	00:30:58:00	AND EXCITING OFFERINGS AND
00:30:58:00	00:30:58:00	CHALLENGING OFFERINGS IT WON'T
00:30:58:00	00:31:02:00	FEEL TO PARENTS THAT THAT IF
00:31:02:00	00:31:03:00	YOU DON'T IF YOUR KID DOESN'T
00:31:03:00	00:31:04:00	GET INTO AN EXAM SCHOOL IT'S
00:31:04:00	00:31:05:00	IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD YOU
00:31:05:00	00:31:08:00	KNOW WE ALL KNOW THAT THE
00:31:08:00	00:31:09:00	SUCCESS OF ALL OF OUR STUDENTS
00:31:09:00	00:31:12:00	IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT AND I
00:31:12:00	00:31:13:00	HOPE THAT THE DISCUSSION THIS
00:31:13:00	00:31:16:00	THIS TWEAKING OF THE EXAM
00:31:16:00	00:31:17:00	SCHOOL PROCESS WHICH WILL BE IN
00:31:17:00	00:31:19:00	PLACE FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS
00:31:19:00	00:31:20:00	WILL GIVE US SOME SOLID DATA TO
00:31:20:00	00:31:22:00	BE ABLE TO EVALUATE THE
00:31:22:00	00:31:23:00	EFFECTIVENESS OF WHAT WE'RE
00:31:23:00	00:31:23:00	DOING.
00:31:23:00	00:31:24:00	BUT WE CAN'T HOLD OUR BREATH
00:31:24:00	00:31:27:00	AND WAIT.
00:31:27:00	00:31:28:00	WE HAVE TO REALLY FOCUS ON
00:31:28:00	00:31:30:00	LITERACY IN THE EARLY GRADES TO
00:31:30:00	00:31:31:00	MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR
00:31:31:00	00:31:31:00	STUDENTS SUCCEED.
00:31:31:00	00:31:34:00	THANK YOU.
00:31:34:00	00:31:34:00	THANK YOU.
00:31:34:00	00:31:35:00	THE CHAIR MADE THIS COUNTRY
00:31:35:00	00:31:37:00	FUNNY ON THE FLOOR.
00:31:37:00	00:31:38:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
00:31:38:00	00:31:41:00	I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE
00:31:41:00	00:31:42:00	CHAIR FOR CONDUCTING AN
00:31:42:00	00:31:45:00	IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.
00:31:45:00	00:31:46:00	I WENT ON RECORD IN SUPPORT
00:31:46:00	00:31:49:00	OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY
00:31:49:00	00:31:50:00	THE CITY ADMINISTRATION AS IT
00:31:50:00	00:31:53:00	RELATES TO THE THREE EXAM
00:31:53:00	00:31:53:00	SCHOOLS.
00:31:53:00	00:31:57:00	MY MAIN POINT OTHER THAN THAT
00:31:57:00	00:32:01:00	WAS WE ALSO HAVE SOME EXCELLENT
00:32:01:00	00:32:01:00	HIGH SCHOOLS AS WELL.
00:32:01:00	00:32:04:00	COUNCILOR BREADON WAS TALKING
00:32:04:00	00:32:05:00	ABOUT THAT WHETHER IT'S JOSIAH
00:32:05:00	00:32:09:00	QUINCY SCHOOL, THE SNOWDEN
00:32:09:00	00:32:09:00	SCHOOL HE'S BOSTON HIGH SCHOOL
00:32:09:00	00:32:12:00	AS COUNCILOR BREADON MENTIONED
00:32:12:00	00:32:12:00	.
00:32:12:00	00:32:13:00	BUT WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO
00:32:13:00	00:32:16:00	SUPPORT OUR EXAM SCHOOLS BUT
00:32:16:00	00:32:16:00	EQUALLY OR EVEN MORE
00:32:16:00	00:32:19:00	IMPORTANTLY IS GETTING OUR ALL
00:32:19:00	00:32:20:00	OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS INTO A
00:32:20:00	00:32:23:00	PLACE WHERE THEY COULD BE AN
00:32:23:00	00:32:24:00	EXCEPTIONAL HIGH SCHOOL AS
00:32:24:00	00:32:24:00	WELL.
00:32:24:00	00:32:27:00	THE WORLD DOING THE BEST THEY
00:32:27:00	00:32:30:00	CAN BUT THEY DO NEED
00:32:30:00	00:32:31:00	SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT FROM US AND
00:32:31:00	00:32:34:00	FROM THE CITY.
00:32:34:00	00:32:34:00	THE THE SUBJECT OF ADVANCED
00:32:34:00	00:32:38:00	WORK WAS MENTIONED DURING THE
00:32:38:00	00:32:38:00	HEARING SEVERAL TIMES.
00:32:38:00	00:32:42:00	I BROUGHT IT UP AND I NEVER
00:32:42:00	00:32:43:00	TALKED ABOUT MY SON WHO WAS IN
00:32:43:00	00:32:46:00	THAT PROGRAM AND BUT I DO KNOW
00:32:46:00	00:32:50:00	THAT THAT PROGRAM ACADEMIC
00:32:50:00	00:32:51:00	FULLY PREPARED YOU IN SUCH A
00:32:51:00	00:32:53:00	WAY THAT IF YOU WERE INTERESTED
00:32:53:00	00:32:54:00	IN GOING TO AN EXAM SCHOOL I
00:32:54:00	00:32:57:00	THINK ADVANCED WORK PROGRAM WAS
00:32:57:00	00:33:01:00	IN A WAY KIND OF DESIGNED TO
00:33:01:00	00:33:01:00	PREPARE YOU FOR THAT TOUGH
00:33:01:00	00:33:05:00	ACADEMIC PROGRAM THAT MANY
00:33:05:00	00:33:05:00	OF THE EXAM SCHOOLS HAVE.
00:33:05:00	00:33:08:00	I THOUGHT ADVANCED WORK WAS
00:33:08:00	00:33:12:00	DOING WELL AND IT WAS
00:33:12:00	00:33:13:00	ELIMINATED BUT WHETHER WE CALL
00:33:13:00	00:33:16:00	IT ADVANCED WORK OR A DIFFERENT
00:33:16:00	00:33:19:00	PROGRAM, I THINK THE LOWER
00:33:19:00	00:33:20:00	GRADES SHOULD HAVE SIMILAR
00:33:20:00	00:33:23:00	CHALLENGING ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
00:33:23:00	00:33:26:00	THAT CAN HELP STUDENTS MAYBE
00:33:26:00	00:33:31:00	GET INTO IT, MAYBE GET INTO ONE
00:33:31:00	00:33:32:00	OF THE EXAM SCHOOLS AND OR GET
00:33:32:00	00:33:35:00	INTO SOME OF THESE OTHER GREAT
00:33:35:00	00:33:35:00	HIGH SCHOOLS THAT WE HAVE IN
00:33:35:00	00:33:38:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON SUCH AS
00:33:38:00	00:33:39:00	SNOWDEN OR NORTHEAST BOSTON OR
00:33:39:00	00:33:41:00	BURGESS JESUIT QUINCY.
00:33:41:00	00:33:42:00	BUT IT'S ALSO ABOUT ENSURING WE
00:33:42:00	00:33:45:00	HAVE THE RESOURCES AND SUPPORT
00:33:45:00	00:33:46:00	FOR ALL SCHOOLS, ENSURING THAT
00:33:46:00	00:33:50:00	REGARDLESS OF WHERE A CHILD
00:33:50:00	00:33:51:00	GOES TO SCHOOL THAT THEY DO
00:33:51:00	00:33:54:00	RECEIVE A GOOD EDUCATION AND
00:33:54:00	00:33:57:00	THEY MAY NOT HAVE THE POLITICAL
00:33:57:00	00:34:01:00	SUPPORT BEHIND THEM BUT THEY
00:34:01:00	00:34:01:00	ARE DESERVING OF A QUALITY
00:34:01:00	00:34:05:00	EDUCATION AND I THINK THAT'S
00:34:05:00	00:34:05:00	OUR JOB ON THE CITY COUNCIL IS
00:34:05:00	00:34:08:00	TO IS TO REPRESENT EVERY CHILD
00:34:08:00	00:34:09:00	REGARDLESS OF WHAT SCHOOL THEY
00:34:09:00	00:34:09:00	GO TO.
00:34:09:00	00:34:12:00	BUT REALLY REPRESENT EVERY
00:34:12:00	00:34:12:00	CHILD ESPECIALLY IF THEY DON'T
00:34:12:00	00:34:16:00	IF THEY GO TO A CHALLENGING
00:34:16:00	00:34:16:00	SCHOOL.
00:34:16:00	00:34:19:00	WE NEED TO PROVIDE MORE SUPPORT
00:34:19:00	00:34:20:00	TO THAT CHILD IN THEIR FAMILY
00:34:20:00	00:34:23:00	AS WELL THAT CAN HELP YOU.
00:34:23:00	00:34:24:00	THANK YOU.
00:34:24:00	00:34:24:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
00:34:24:00	00:34:25:00	COUNCILOR MEJIA YOU HAVE THE
00:34:25:00	00:34:27:00	FLOOR.
00:34:27:00	00:34:27:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
00:34:27:00	00:34:28:00	AND THANK YOU TO MY COLLEAGUES
00:34:28:00	00:34:31:00	FOR HOSTING THE HEARING AND I
00:34:31:00	00:34:31:00	WOULD JUST LIKE TO ECHO THE
00:34:31:00	00:34:34:00	IMPORTANCE OF HAVING THIS
00:34:34:00	00:34:35:00	CONVERSATION ESPECIALLY IN THIS
00:34:35:00	00:34:38:00	MOMENT FOR THOSE FOLKS WHO YOU
00:34:38:00	00:34:38:00	KNOW ARE FOLLOWING THIS.
00:34:38:00	00:34:41:00	I, I THINK IT'S EASIER FOR
00:34:41:00	00:34:42:00	PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND KIND
00:34:42:00	00:34:42:00	OF THE DYNAMICS.
00:34:42:00	00:34:45:00	EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT I HAVE A
00:34:45:00	00:34:46:00	LITTLE CHIP ON MY SHOULDER
00:34:46:00	00:34:46:00	BECAUSE I WENT TO DORCHESTER
00:34:46:00	00:34:46:00	HIGH.
00:34:46:00	00:34:49:00	I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW EXAM SCHOOLS
00:34:49:00	00:34:49:00	EXISTED.
00:34:49:00	00:34:50:00	SO I FEEL LIKE WE SPEND SO MUCH
00:34:50:00	00:34:53:00	OF OUR TIME AND ENERGY ON THESE
00:34:53:00	00:34:53:00	EXAM SCHOOLS AND THEY ALWAYS
00:34:53:00	00:34:56:00	FEAR WHAT WE'RE COMMUNICATING
00:34:56:00	00:34:57:00	TO THE KIDS WHO DON'T GET IN
00:34:57:00	00:35:00:00	RIGHT.
00:35:00:00	00:35:01:00	I THINK THAT THAT IS ALSO PART
00:35:01:00	00:35:01:00	OF THE CONVERSATION AND I THINK
00:35:01:00	00:35:04:00	THAT THE WAY I SEE IT IS THE
00:35:04:00	00:35:05:00	EXAM SCHOOLS WITHIN THE
00:35:05:00	00:35:07:00	DISTRICT ARE THE ELITE CLASS SO
00:35:07:00	00:35:08:00	THOSE STUDENTS WHO GET IN HAVE
00:35:08:00	00:35:11:00	FAR BETTER OPPORTUNITIES AND
00:35:11:00	00:35:12:00	ACCESS TO WEALTH AND
00:35:12:00	00:35:14:00	OPPORTUNITIES AND TO NETWORKS.
00:35:14:00	00:35:15:00	THEN YOU HAVE YOUR MIDDLE CLASS
00:35:15:00	00:35:16:00	STUDENTS THOSE ARE THE KIDS
00:35:16:00	00:35:19:00	THAT HAVE TO APPLY THROUGH LIKE
00:35:19:00	00:35:19:00	MICHIGAN AND YOU KNOW THESE
00:35:19:00	00:35:22:00	SCHOOLS YOU HAVE TO APPLY YOU
00:35:22:00	00:35:23:00	HAVE TO TAKE AN EXTRA STEP TO
00:35:23:00	00:35:26:00	GET IT AND THEN YOU HAVE YOUR
00:35:26:00	00:35:27:00	LOW INCOME WORKING CLASS
00:35:27:00	00:35:29:00	SCHOOLS AND THOSE ARE THE OPEN
00:35:29:00	00:35:30:00	ENROLLMENTS WHICH IS ONE OF THE
00:35:30:00	00:35:31:00	SCHOOLS THAT I WENT TO AND
00:35:31:00	00:35:33:00	THOSE KIDS USUALLY DON'T GO AS
00:35:33:00	00:35:34:00	FAR AS OTHERS.
00:35:34:00	00:35:38:00	I AM LUCKY THAT I MADE IT
00:35:38:00	00:35:38:00	THROUGH THAT SYSTEM AND THAT
00:35:38:00	00:35:41:00	I'M STANDING HERE AS A CITY
00:35:41:00	00:35:42:00	COUNCILOR BUT I THINK IT IS THE
00:35:42:00	00:35:42:00	WRONG CONVERSATION AND THE FACT
00:35:42:00	00:35:45:00	THAT WE CONTINUE TO GIVE EXAM
00:35:45:00	00:35:49:00	SCHOOLS ALL THIS OXYGEN IS WHY
00:35:49:00	00:35:49:00	WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION
00:35:49:00	00:35:53:00	STILL TO THIS DAY I WOULD LOVE
00:35:53:00	00:35:53:00	TO SEE THE SAME ENERGY AROUND
00:35:53:00	00:35:54:00	MADISON PARK AND WHAT WE NEED
00:35:54:00	00:35:57:00	TO DO TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO A
00:35:57:00	00:36:00:00	HIGH QUALITY BOTH TAX SCHOOL I
00:36:00:00	00:36:01:00	LIKE TO SEE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO
00:36:01:00	00:36:02:00	TALK ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO
00:36:02:00	00:36:05:00	BOSTON TECH BRIGHT IN
00:36:05:00	00:36:08:00	CHARLESTOWN I KNOW THEY'RE
00:36:08:00	00:36:09:00	DOING A LOT OF GREAT THINGS NOW
00:36:09:00	00:36:12:00	THE PARK IS THE HOLLAND SO I
00:36:12:00	00:36:13:00	THINK WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT
00:36:13:00	00:36:15:00	DIRECTION.
00:36:15:00	00:36:16:00	BUT IF WE LOOK AT THE DYNAMICS
00:36:16:00	00:36:16:00	REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR
00:36:16:00	00:36:19:00	CONVERSATION IN EXAM SCHOOLS,
00:36:19:00	00:36:20:00	MOST OF THE FOLKS WHO HAVE
00:36:20:00	00:36:23:00	THEIR CHILDREN IN THESE SCHOOLS
00:36:23:00	00:36:24:00	ARE HIGHER VOTER TURNOUT,
00:36:24:00	00:36:24:00	RIGHT?
00:36:24:00	00:36:27:00	SO THEY'RE ACTIVELY ENGAGED,
00:36:27:00	00:36:27:00	RIGHT?
00:36:27:00	00:36:28:00	THEY'RE USUALLY HIGHLY MORE
00:36:28:00	00:36:28:00	RESOURCED.
00:36:28:00	00:36:28:00	RIGHT.
00:36:28:00	00:36:31:00	HAVE ACCESS TO CAPITAL AND
00:36:31:00	00:36:32:00	OPPORTUNITIES AND THEY'RE
00:36:32:00	00:36:35:00	POWERBROKERS.
00:36:35:00	00:36:35:00	RIGHT?
00:36:35:00	00:36:36:00	SO WE'RE PROTECTING THAT CLASS
00:36:36:00	00:36:39:00	EVERY SINGLE TIME WE DECIDE TO
00:36:39:00	00:36:40:00	FOCUS ALL OF OUR ENERGY ON JUST
00:36:40:00	00:36:43:00	THE EXAM SCHOOLS I WOULD LIKE
00:36:43:00	00:36:44:00	TO SEE THIS BODY AND I'M JUST
00:36:44:00	00:36:46:00	GRATEFUL TO COUNCIL OVERALL FOR
00:36:46:00	00:36:47:00	HIS LEADERSHIP IN THIS SPACE
00:36:47:00	00:36:50:00	THINKING ABOUT CRADLE TO CAREER
00:36:50:00	00:36:51:00	AND REALLY LOOKING AT THE
00:36:51:00	00:36:53:00	ENTIRE PORTFOLIO AND HOW WE'RE
00:36:53:00	00:36:54:00	MAKING SURE THAT ALL STUDENTS
00:36:54:00	00:36:55:00	HAVE ACCESS TO A QUALITY
00:36:55:00	00:36:58:00	EDUCATION THAT DOES NOT BEGIN
00:36:58:00	00:37:01:00	AND END WITH THE ELITE EXAM
00:37:01:00	00:37:01:00	SCHOOLS.
00:37:01:00	00:37:02:00	I MEAN I'M NOT SAYING THAT I'M
00:37:02:00	00:37:05:00	HATING ON THEM BECAUSE I DO
00:37:05:00	00:37:06:00	WORK WITH BEALS AND I HAVE A
00:37:06:00	00:37:09:00	CHILD THAT BUSTLE AT AN ACADEMY
00:37:09:00	00:37:10:00	I'D BE A HYPOCRITE.
00:37:10:00	00:37:12:00	BUT I WILL SAY THAT WE REALLY
00:37:12:00	00:37:13:00	NEED TO SHIFT THE CONVERSATION
00:37:13:00	00:37:17:00	AND REALLY START THINKING ABOUT
00:37:17:00	00:37:17:00	ALL OF THE INEQUITIES THAT
00:37:17:00	00:37:20:00	EXIST IN ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS
00:37:20:00	00:37:21:00	BECAUSE RIGHT NOW HAVING AND
00:37:21:00	00:37:24:00	I'M THE ONLY BOSTON CITY
00:37:24:00	00:37:25:00	COUNCILOR THAT GRADUATED FROM A
00:37:25:00	00:37:28:00	NON EXAM SCHOOL FROM BEPS RIGHT
00:37:28:00	00:37:32:00	AND SO THIS IS AND I ONE OF THE
00:37:32:00	00:37:33:00	FEW THAT HAS WORKED IN THE
00:37:33:00	00:37:36:00	EDUCATION SPACE I DON'T MIND
00:37:36:00	00:37:37:00	THROWING THAT AROUND BECAUSE
00:37:37:00	00:37:37:00	THAT GIVES ME A DIFFERENT LEVEL
00:37:37:00	00:37:40:00	OF LIVED EXPERIENCE AND NOBODY
00:37:40:00	00:37:40:00	CAN NEGATE THAT.
00:37:40:00	00:37:43:00	I WILL SAY THOUGH RIGHT THAT IN
00:37:43:00	00:37:44:00	MY TIME HERE ON THIS COUNCIL WE
00:37:44:00	00:37:47:00	WORKED IN A VERY PROGRESSIVE
00:37:47:00	00:37:50:00	ITERATION OF THIS BODY AND WE
00:37:50:00	00:37:51:00	WERE ABLE TO REPAIR THE HARM
00:37:51:00	00:37:54:00	THAT WAS BEING CAUSED TO
00:37:54:00	00:37:55:00	STUDENTS WHO ARE LOW INCOME AND
00:37:55:00	00:37:58:00	OF COLOR.
00:37:58:00	00:37:59:00	AND SO NOW IN THIS MOMENT IN
00:37:59:00	00:38:02:00	TIME BECAUSE IT'S TIME FOR US
00:38:02:00	00:38:02:00	TO REVISIT, I JUST WANT TO MAKE
00:38:02:00	00:38:05:00	SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO CENTER
00:38:05:00	00:38:06:00	RACIAL EQUITY IN THESE
00:38:06:00	00:38:09:00	DISCUSSIONS BECAUSE I DON'T
00:38:09:00	00:38:13:00	THINK THAT WE SHOULD LOSE SIGHT
00:38:13:00	00:38:13:00	OF THE FACT THAT REGARDLESS
00:38:13:00	00:38:14:00	OF WHAT SCHOOL YOU GO TO, WHAT
00:38:14:00	00:38:17:00	NEIGHBORHOOD LIVE IN,
00:38:17:00	00:38:17:00	REGARDLESS OF YOUR SKIN COLOR
00:38:17:00	00:38:21:00	AND YOUR SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS,
00:38:21:00	00:38:21:00	WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY
00:38:21:00	00:38:25:00	SINGLE STUDENT HERE IN THE CITY
00:38:25:00	00:38:26:00	OF BOSTON AND WE CAN'T CONTINUE
00:38:26:00	00:38:28:00	TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHO WE'RE
00:38:28:00	00:38:29:00	GOING TO STAND UP FOR AND FIGHT
00:38:29:00	00:38:29:00	FOR.
00:38:29:00	00:38:32:00	AND I'VE SEEN THAT DONE HERE
00:38:32:00	00:38:33:00	WHEN WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO
00:38:33:00	00:38:36:00	FIGHT FOR MADISON PARK WE DID
00:38:36:00	00:38:37:00	IT BUT NOW WE'RE FIGHTING FOR
00:38:37:00	00:38:40:00	EXAMS SCHOOLS AND EVERYBODY IS
00:38:40:00	00:38:44:00	ALL IN SO TO HAVE THE
00:38:44:00	00:38:45:00	CONVERSATION I'M NOT SURE WHERE
00:38:45:00	00:38:45:00	EVERYBODY STANDS WITH IT BUT I
00:38:45:00	00:38:48:00	JUST WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE SAME
00:38:48:00	00:38:49:00	ENERGY BEING APPLIED TO OTHER
00:38:49:00	00:38:51:00	SCHOOLS AND OTHER SCENARIOS AS
00:38:51:00	00:38:52:00	WE CONTINUE TO NAVIGATE THESE
00:38:52:00	00:38:53:00	VERY DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS.
00:38:53:00	00:38:55:00	THANK YOU VERY THANK YOU.
00:38:55:00	00:38:59:00	THIS IS DOCKET NO.
00:38:59:00	00:39:03:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES COUNSELOR
00:39:03:00	00:39:03:00	COUNSELOR EARLIER ON THE FLOOR.

00:39:08:00	00:39:10:00	THIS IMPORTANT HEARING.
00:39:10:00	00:39:11:00	AND I JUST ALSO JUST WANT TO
00:39:11:00	00:39:14:00	JUST DRAW ATTENTION TO THE
00:39:14:00	00:39:14:00	DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE IN STUDENT
00:39:14:00	00:39:17:00	INVITES YEAR OVER YEAR AND JUST
00:39:17:00	00:39:18:00	WANT TO CONTINUE TO UPLIFT THAT
00:39:18:00	00:39:21:00	AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW, AS
00:39:21:00	00:39:24:00	WE TAKE A LOOK OVER THE NEXT
00:39:24:00	00:39:24:00	TWO YEARS THAT WE ARE MAKING
00:39:24:00	00:39:25:00	SURE THAT WE ARE MAKING THE
00:39:25:00	00:39:28:00	NECESSARY TWEAKS TO MAKE SURE
00:39:28:00	00:39:29:00	THAT ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS WHETHER
00:39:29:00	00:39:32:00	THE EXAM SCHOOL APPLICATION
00:39:32:00	00:39:32:00	BASE SCHOOLS, OPEN ENROLLMENT
00:39:32:00	00:39:35:00	SCHOOLS ARE ALL INCLUSIVE
00:39:35:00	00:39:36:00	SCHOOLS SO THAT ALL OF OUR KIDS
00:39:36:00	00:39:39:00	REGARDLESS OF STUDENT ABILITIES
00:39:39:00	00:39:40:00	, STUDENT DISABILITIES ARE
00:39:40:00	00:39:43:00	LEARNING ABILITIES HAVE ACCESS
00:39:43:00	00:39:44:00	TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR
00:39:44:00	00:39:44:00	SCHOOLS.
00:39:44:00	00:39:48:00	ONE OF MY MAJOR CONCERNS ON TOP
00:39:48:00	00:39:51:00	OF THE CHANGE IN THE INVITATION
00:39:51:00	00:39:52:00	IS ALSO THE SECTION EIGHT
00:39:52:00	00:39:55:00	VOUCHER HOLDER BONUS POINTS
00:39:55:00	00:39:56:00	JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I
00:39:56:00	00:39:57:00	CONTINUE TO PUSH THAT FORWARD
00:39:57:00	00:39:59:00	AND THAT WE GIVE HOUSING BONUS
00:39:59:00	00:40:00:00	POINTS TO VHA RESIDENTS.
00:40:00:00	00:40:02:00	BUT SECTION EIGHT VOUCHER
00:40:02:00	00:40:03:00	HOLDERS DO NOT CURRENTLY GET
00:40:03:00	00:40:05:00	THAT SAME BONUS POINT SO
00:40:05:00	00:40:09:00	HOPEFULLY IN ANY NEW VERSION
00:40:09:00	00:40:10:00	THAT PASSES THE SCHOOL
00:40:10:00	00:40:10:00	COMMITTEE HOPEFULLY WE ARE ABLE
00:40:10:00	00:40:13:00	TO SEE SECTION EIGHT VOUCHER
00:40:13:00	00:40:14:00	HOLDERS GET THOSE HOUSING BONUS
00:40:14:00	00:40:17:00	POINTS AND THE LAST THING I
00:40:17:00	00:40:18:00	WANT TO SAY IS HOPEFULLY IN THE
00:40:18:00	00:40:20:00	NEW FY 27 BUDGET FOR THE FOR
00:40:20:00	00:40:24:00	THE BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOL WE SEE
00:40:24:00	00:40:25:00	MORE INVESTMENT AND MAKING SURE
00:40:25:00	00:40:28:00	THAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS
00:40:28:00	00:40:28:00	TO MORE TUTORING.

00:40:39:00	00:40:39:00	COME FROM LOW TO MODERATE
00:40:39:00	00:40:42:00	INCOME FAMILIES AND MAKING
00:40:42:00	00:40:43:00	THINGS MORE AND MORE OF THOSE
00:40:43:00	00:40:45:00	RESOURCES AND SUPPORTS AS FREE
00:40:45:00	00:40:46:00	AS POSSIBLE IS WHAT I WHAT I

00:40:53:00	00:40:54:00	OH AND LASTLY I WOULD ADD I
00:40:54:00	00:40:57:00	KNOW OTHER DISTRICTS HAVE
00:40:57:00	00:40:57:00	IMPLEMENTED DASHBOARDS.
00:40:57:00	00:41:01:00	I KNOW THAT DPS REPORTS OUT
00:41:01:00	00:41:01:00	ANNUALLY BUT IF WE CAN HAVE A
00:41:01:00	00:41:04:00	DASHBOARD THAT WE CAN TRACK OUR
00:41:04:00	00:41:05:00	PROGRESS OVER THE NEXT THREE
00:41:05:00	00:41:09:00	YEARS, OUR WHO'S IN ABLE TO GET
00:41:09:00	00:41:10:00	INTO THE EXAMPLE SCHOOLS WHAT
00:41:10:00	00:41:11:00	WAS GETTING INVITED I THINK IS
00:41:11:00	00:41:12:00	VERY IMPORTANT.
00:41:12:00	00:41:12:00	THANK YOU.
00:41:12:00	00:41:16:00	THANK YOU COUNCILOR BREADON
00:41:16:00	00:41:16:00	THANK YOU PRESIDENT I
00:41:16:00	00:41:17:00	APPRECIATE I'VE ALREADY SPOKEN
00:41:17:00	00:41:20:00	BUT I JUST WANTED TO ADD
00:41:20:00	00:41:21:00	ANOTHER THING I SPOKE ABOUT THE
00:41:21:00	00:41:24:00	ADVANCED WORK CLASS AND IT WAS
00:41:24:00	00:41:24:00	CRITICIZED AS BEING ELITIST
00:41:24:00	00:41:25:00	ETC. AND BUT IT WAS A VALUABLE
00:41:25:00	00:41:28:00	WAY TO INCREASE MORE RIGOR BUT
00:41:28:00	00:41:29:00	IT WAS REPLACED BY AN EXCELLENT
00:41:29:00	00:41:32:00	FLOOR PROGRAM AND IT HAD BEEN
00:41:32:00	00:41:35:00	EVALUATED TO BE PROVEN TO BE
00:41:35:00	00:41:36:00	VERY EFFECTIVE IN IMPROVING
00:41:36:00	00:41:39:00	ACADEMIC STANDARDS.
00:41:39:00	00:41:39:00	AND I THINK AS PART OF OUR
00:41:39:00	00:41:42:00	CONVERSATION ABOUT PREPARATION
00:41:42:00	00:41:43:00	FOR EXAMS TO SCHOOLS AND WHO
00:41:43:00	00:41:44:00	GETS INTO AN EXAM SCHOOL AND
00:41:44:00	00:41:47:00	BASICALLY WHO SUCCEEDS IN OUR
00:41:47:00	00:41:47:00	SCHOOL SYSTEM, I THINK REALLY
00:41:47:00	00:41:50:00	GOING BACK AND LOOKING AT THE
00:41:50:00	00:41:51:00	EXCELLENCE FOR OUR PROGRAM AND
00:41:51:00	00:41:53:00	SEEING IF IT COULD BE AND IF
00:41:53:00	00:41:54:00	IT'S BEEN IMPLEMENTED IN ANY
00:41:54:00	00:41:57:00	SHAPE OR FASHION AND IF IF THE
00:41:57:00	00:41:58:00	LEARNING AND THE ADVANCEMENT
00:41:58:00	00:42:01:00	THAT WAS ACHIEVED BY THAT
00:42:01:00	00:42:02:00	PROGRAM COULD BE CONTINUED AND
00:42:02:00	00:42:05:00	I WOULD BE VERY VALUABLE IN
00:42:05:00	00:42:05:00	THIS CONVERSATION.
00:42:05:00	00:42:05:00	I THINK WE'RE VERY, VERY
00:42:05:00	00:42:08:00	FOCUSED IN THIS VERY NARROW
00:42:08:00	00:42:09:00	SPACE BUT EXAM SCHOOL, HIGH

00:45:33:00	00:45:36:00	COME.
00:45:36:00	00:45:36:00	IF WE ACT QUICKLY, THERE'S
00:45:36:00	00:45:37:00	STILL A CHANCE THAT THE
00:45:37:00	00:45:38:00	REPORTING DEADLINE CAN BE
00:45:38:00	00:45:40:00	EXTENDED FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR

00:45:43:00	00:45:44:00	I GUESS WE COULD ASK THE CLERK

00:45:47:00	00:45:47:00	SCHOOLS.

00:46:48:00	00:46:49:00	AFTER THEY PUBLISH THIS
00:46:49:00	00:46:52:00	REPORTING DATA AND IT CHANGES A
00:46:52:00	00:46:52:00	MONTH FROM OCTOBER TO NOVEMBER
00:46:52:00	00:46:56:00	SO THAT WE CAN GET QUALITY DATA

00:47:04:00	00:47:05:00	AND SO THAT IS WHY AS CHAIR I'M
00:47:05:00	00:47:07:00	NOT GOING TO DO THIS REALLY
00:47:07:00	00:47:08:00	EVER UNLESS THE CIRCUMSTANCES
00:47:08:00	00:47:11:00	MEET THIS LEVEL OF CRITERIA
00:47:11:00	00:47:12:00	WHERE WE'VE ALREADY HAD A
00:47:12:00	00:47:12:00	HEARING AND A WORKING SESSION
00:47:12:00	00:47:14:00	AND BECAUSE THIS IS SO STRAIGHT
00:47:14:00	00:47:15:00	FORWARD AND PRETTY YOU KNOW,
00:47:15:00	00:47:19:00	PRETTY SMALL IN SCOPE THAT IS
00:47:19:00	00:47:20:00	WHY I'D RECOMMEND RECOMMENDING
00:47:20:00	00:47:20:00	PASSAGE TODAY.
00:47:20:00	00:47:23:00	THANK YOU.

00:47:23:00	00:47:26:00	COLETTE AS A PARTNER THE CHAIR
00:47:26:00	00:47:27:00	RECOGNIZES COUNCILOR BREADON
00:47:27:00	00:47:28:00	COUNCILOR BREADON, YOU HAVE THE
00:47:28:00	00:47:30:00	FLOOR.
00:47:30:00	00:47:30:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
00:47:30:00	00:47:33:00	AND THANK YOU TO
00:47:33:00	00:47:34:00	COUNCILOR DURKAN FOR LEADING
00:47:34:00	00:47:34:00	THE CHARGE ON THIS ONE.
00:47:34:00	00:47:37:00	I THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO MAKE
00:47:37:00	00:47:38:00	THESE MINOR CHANGES TO THE
00:47:38:00	00:47:41:00	ORDINANCE SO THAT WE GET MORE
00:47:41:00	00:47:44:00	EFFECTIVE DATA COLLECTION ALL
00:47:44:00	00:47:45:00	OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE
00:47:45:00	00:47:47:00	WERE MENTIONED ARE DEEPLY
00:47:47:00	00:47:48:00	IMPACTED BY STUDENT HOUSING OFF
00:47:48:00	00:47:52:00	OFF CAMPUS HOUSING.
00:47:52:00	00:47:53:00	YOU KNOW IT'S A BOON TO OUR
00:47:53:00	00:47:56:00	COMMUNITIES TO HAVE STUDENTS
00:47:56:00	00:47:56:00	LIVING THERE.
00:47:56:00	00:47:57:00	IT'S AN ECONOMIC DRIVER.
00:47:57:00	00:48:00:00	IT STIMULATES A LOT OF ENERGY
00:48:00:00	00:48:00:00	AND EXCITEMENT IN OUR
00:48:00:00	00:48:00:00	NEIGHBORHOODS.
00:48:00:00	00:48:04:00	BUT THE DOWNSIDE IS THAT OFF
00:48:04:00	00:48:05:00	CAMPUS HOUSING TAKES UP A HUGE
00:48:05:00	00:48:08:00	PROPORTION OF OUR HOUSING STOCK
00:48:08:00	00:48:11:00	AND VERY OFTEN THAT
00:48:11:00	00:48:15:00	INCENTIVIZES INVESTMENTS BY OUT
00:48:15:00	00:48:16:00	OF CITY, OUT OF INVESTORS WHO
00:48:16:00	00:48:19:00	USE THEIR STUDENT HOUSING AS A
00:48:19:00	00:48:20:00	AS A CASH MACHINE.
00:48:20:00	00:48:23:00	THAT MONEY DOESN'T STAY IN THE
00:48:23:00	00:48:23:00	NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE'RE OFTEN
00:48:23:00	00:48:26:00	LEFT WITH THE IMPACTS
00:48:26:00	00:48:27:00	OF DEALING WITH AND WITH THOSE
00:48:27:00	00:48:30:00	THOSE ARE THOSE THE
00:48:30:00	00:48:30:00	CONSEQUENCES OF THAT POLICY.
00:48:30:00	00:48:34:00	SO I WOULD REALLY JUST FOCUS ON
00:48:34:00	00:48:37:00	PASSING THIS.
00:48:37:00	00:48:38:00	I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE VERY
00:48:38:00	00:48:41:00	IMPORTANT TO HAVE AN ANNUAL
00:48:41:00	00:48:42:00	HEARING JUST TO REVIEW THE
00:48:42:00	00:48:45:00	STATUS OF WHERE WE ARE WITH
00:48:45:00	00:48:45:00	STUDENT HOUSING OFF CAMPUS.
00:48:45:00	00:48:46:00	I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE
00:48:46:00	00:48:48:00	CRITICALLY IMPORTANT AND
00:48:48:00	00:48:49:00	INFORMING OUR DISCUSSIONS
00:48:49:00	00:48:49:00	AROUND INSTITUTIONAL MASTER
00:48:49:00	00:48:53:00	PLANNING AND I THINK HAVING
00:48:53:00	00:48:55:00	EXTENDING THE TIME THE DATE TO
00:48:55:00	00:48:55:00	NOVEMBER 1ST WILL ENSURE THAT
00:48:55:00	00:48:59:00	WE GET MORE ACCURATE IN IN A
00:48:59:00	00:49:03:00	TIMELY DATA ON THE NUMBERS AND
00:49:03:00	00:49:06:00	LOCATION OF OF OF STUDENT
00:49:06:00	00:49:06:00	HOUSING.
00:49:06:00	00:49:07:00	SO THANK YOU.
00:49:07:00	00:49:07:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH

00:55:43:00	00:55:43:00	OUR COMPOSTING PROGRAM LIMITED
00:55:43:00	00:55:46:00	SUCCESS BECAUSE WE NEED TO TRY
00:55:46:00	00:55:47:00	TO SCALE IT UP MORE.
00:55:47:00	00:55:47:00	IT HELPS WITH A LOT OF OUR
00:55:47:00	00:55:50:00	WASTE ISSUES.
00:55:50:00	00:55:51:00	THE MOTHER WERE ABLE TO HAVE A
00:55:51:00	00:55:54:00	MORE ROBUST COMPOSTING PROGRAM
00:55:54:00	00:55:55:00	AND I KNOW THAT I OFTEN HAVE
00:55:55:00	00:55:57:00	NEIGHBORS ASKING ME QUESTIONS
00:55:57:00	00:55:58:00	ABOUT THE EXPANSION SO I JUST
00:55:58:00	00:55:59:00	WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES FOR
00:55:59:00	00:56:02:00	THE WORK ON THIS AND LOOK
00:56:02:00	00:56:02:00	FORWARD TO HAVING THE HEARING
00:56:02:00	00:56:03:00	TO SEE HOW WE CAN FURTHER ARE
00:56:03:00	00:56:05:00	THE CITIES COMPOSTING EFFORTS.
00:56:05:00	00:56:06:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
00:56:06:00	00:56:07:00	COUNCILOR FLYNN YOU HAVE THE
00:56:07:00	00:56:09:00	FLOOR.
00:56:09:00	00:56:10:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR AND
00:56:10:00	00:56:13:00	THANK YOU TO COUNCILOR DURKAN
00:56:13:00	00:56:14:00	AND THE OTHERS FOR BRINGING
00:56:14:00	00:56:16:00	THIS IMPORTANT SUBJECT FORWARD.
00:56:16:00	00:56:20:00	COMPOST IS A CRITICAL ISSUE
00:56:20:00	00:56:21:00	IMPACTING EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD
00:56:21:00	00:56:24:00	AND COUNCILOR DURKAN IS IS
00:56:24:00	00:56:24:00	CORRECT.
00:56:24:00	00:56:25:00	IT HAS A SIGNIFICANT MAJOR
00:56:25:00	00:56:27:00	IMPACT ON QUALITY OF LIFE, ON
00:56:27:00	00:56:31:00	PUBLIC HEALTH AND PUBLIC SAFETY
00:56:31:00	00:56:31:00	.
00:56:31:00	00:56:32:00	WHEN WE DON'T DO THAT, WHEN WE
00:56:32:00	00:56:38:00	DON'T HAVE COMPOSTING I
00:56:38:00	00:56:38:00	ACTUALLY HAVE IT AT MY HOUSE
00:56:38:00	00:56:42:00	AND IN SOUTH BOSTON BUT I'M ONE
00:56:42:00	00:56:45:00	OF THE ONLY HOMES AND IN THE
00:56:45:00	00:56:46:00	PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT
00:56:46:00	00:56:49:00	ACTUALLY HAS IT.
00:56:49:00	00:56:50:00	BUT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE
00:56:50:00	00:56:53:00	COMPOST EXPANDED SIGNIFICANTLY
00:56:53:00	00:56:54:00	THROUGHOUT THE THROUGHOUT THE
00:56:54:00	00:56:57:00	CITY PLACING YOUR YOUR FOOD IN
00:56:57:00	00:57:01:00	THE GARBAGE BAG AND PLACING IT
00:57:01:00	00:57:04:00	ON THE STREET IS REALLY A
00:57:04:00	00:57:05:00	RECIPE FOR DISASTER AS IT
00:57:05:00	00:57:08:00	ENCOURAGES RATS AND MICE AND
00:57:08:00	00:57:12:00	OTHER ANIMALS TO GO FOR YOU GO
00:57:12:00	00:57:13:00	THROUGH YOUR BAGS BUT THERE
00:57:13:00	00:57:16:00	REALLY IS A THERE IS A WAY TO
00:57:16:00	00:57:17:00	TAKE OUT YOUR GARBAGE AND YOU
00:57:17:00	00:57:20:00	HAVE TO SEPARATE THE FOOD FROM
00:57:20:00	00:57:21:00	THE GARBAGE AND PUT IT OUT
00:57:21:00	00:57:24:00	SEPARATELY AND IN A SAFE
00:57:24:00	00:57:27:00	ENVIRONMENT SAFE CONTAINER SO
00:57:27:00	00:57:28:00	WE DON'T HAVE PEST CONTROL
00:57:28:00	00:57:31:00	ISSUES BUT ALSO PART OF IT IS
00:57:31:00	00:57:32:00	PUBLIC AWARENESS AND PUBLIC
00:57:32:00	00:57:35:00	EDUCATION ON INFORMING
00:57:35:00	00:57:35:00	RESIDENTS ON EXACTLY HOW TO DO
00:57:35:00	00:57:38:00	THAT WHETHER IT'S THROUGH
00:57:38:00	00:57:41:00	SOCIAL MEDIA OR HAVING MORE
00:57:41:00	00:57:42:00	COMMUNITY MEETINGS.
00:57:42:00	00:57:45:00	BUT THE OTHER ISSUE I DO WANT
00:57:45:00	00:57:46:00	TO HIGHLIGHT IS THAT IT'S
00:57:46:00	00:57:49:00	IMPORTANT FOR US WHEN WE HAVE
00:57:49:00	00:57:50:00	THE HEARING AND TO EXPLORE
00:57:50:00	00:57:53:00	OPTIONS IS ENSURE THAT WE
00:57:53:00	00:57:56:00	EDUCATE AND WORK WITH RESIDENTS
00:57:56:00	00:57:57:00	THAT DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH TO
00:57:57:00	00:58:00:00	ENSURE THAT THEY ARE PART
00:58:00:00	00:58:01:00	OF THE PROCESS SO THAT THEY
00:58:01:00	00:58:04:00	UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT IS
00:58:04:00	00:58:05:00	HAPPENING WHETHER THEY'RE
00:58:05:00	00:58:08:00	SPANISH SPEAKING OR CANTONESE
00:58:08:00	00:58:08:00	OR ANY ANY OTHER LANGUAGE.
00:58:08:00	00:58:12:00	BUT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN
00:58:12:00	00:58:12:00	CHINATOWN WE'RE MOST SPEAK
00:58:12:00	00:58:16:00	CANTONESE.
00:58:16:00	00:58:16:00	COMMUNICATING EFFECTIVELY IS
00:58:16:00	00:58:20:00	ALSO PART OF THE PROCESS AND
00:58:20:00	00:58:20:00	SOLUTION.
00:58:20:00	00:58:21:00	THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
00:58:21:00	00:58:21:00	THANK YOU.
00:58:21:00	00:58:24:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
00:58:24:00	00:58:24:00	COUNCILOR CLAUDIA ZAPATA.
00:58:24:00	00:58:25:00	YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
00:58:25:00	00:58:27:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH, MADAM
00:58:27:00	00:58:27:00	PRESIDENT.
00:58:27:00	00:58:28:00	I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE
00:58:28:00	00:58:28:00	MAKERS FOR BRINGING THIS UP.
00:58:28:00	00:58:31:00	IT IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL
00:58:31:00	00:58:31:00	SUSTAINABILITY ISSUE AND SO
00:58:31:00	00:58:32:00	ALWAYS JUST THANK YOU FOR
00:58:32:00	00:58:35:00	PUTTING THIS AT THE FOREFRONT.
00:58:35:00	00:58:36:00	I THINK IT'S INCUMBENT UPON ALL
00:58:36:00	00:58:36:00	OF US TO CONTINUE TO THINK
00:58:36:00	00:58:39:00	ABOUT HOW WE ARE MEETING OUR
00:58:39:00	00:58:40:00	ZERO WASTE GOALS AS A CITY
00:58:40:00	00:58:43:00	MASSACHUSETTS.
00:58:43:00	00:58:44:00	I THINK THE LAST FIGURE THAT I
00:58:44:00	00:58:44:00	SAW THAT WAS THE MOST ACCURATE
00:58:44:00	00:58:47:00	IS THAT MASSACHUSETTS PRODUCES
00:58:47:00	00:58:48:00	A MILLION TONS OF FOOD WASTE
00:58:48:00	00:58:51:00	PER YEAR AND SO IT IS A LONG
00:58:51:00	00:58:52:00	TERM CRISIS, A LONG TERM
00:58:52:00	00:58:52:00	PROBLEM.
00:58:52:00	00:58:55:00	I LOVE THE FACT THAT IN THIS
00:58:55:00	00:58:56:00	HEARING WATER YOU TALK ABOUT
00:58:56:00	00:58:59:00	THE FACT THAT IT DOESN'T
00:58:59:00	00:59:01:00	SERVICE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS OR
00:59:01:00	00:59:02:00	HOUSEHOLDS WITH SEVEN OR
00:59:02:00	00:59:03:00	GREATER UNITS AND SO THAT IS A
00:59:03:00	00:59:05:00	PROBLEM THAT'S GAP THAT WE ALL
00:59:05:00	00:59:06:00	HAVE TO FIGURE OUT TOGETHER
00:59:06:00	00:59:06:00	THAT I LOOK FORWARD TO FIGURING
00:59:06:00	00:59:09:00	OUT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH YOU AND
00:59:09:00	00:59:10:00	CITY.
00:59:10:00	00:59:11:00	I WILL JUST SAY THAT ON ON THE
00:59:11:00	00:59:13:00	FLIP SIDE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
00:59:13:00	00:59:14:00	DO IS LIMIT ZERO WASTE AND SO
00:59:14:00	00:59:17:00	IT'S STILL ON THE TABLE STILL
00:59:17:00	00:59:17:00	UP FOR CONSIDERATION.
00:59:17:00	00:59:18:00	THIS COUNCIL IS THE FOOD
00:59:18:00	00:59:22:00	RECOVERY ORDINANCE WHERE IT'S
00:59:22:00	00:59:22:00	MORE OF AN UPSTREAM APPROACH
00:59:22:00	00:59:23:00	WHERE WE'RE CAUSE WHERE WE ARE
00:59:23:00	00:59:25:00	TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE ROOT
00:59:25:00	00:59:26:00	CAUSE AND TRY TO INTERVENE AT A
00:59:26:00	00:59:29:00	SYSTEMIC LEVEL AND SO I'M
00:59:29:00	00:59:30:00	HOPEFUL THAT AS PART OF THAT
00:59:30:00	00:59:30:00	CONSIDER THAT THIS CONVERSATION
00:59:30:00	00:59:33:00	WE CAN TIE THEM IN TOGETHER THE
00:59:33:00	00:59:34:00	MORE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO
00:59:34:00	00:59:36:00	PROVIDE FOOD RECOVERY FOR SOME
00:59:36:00	00:59:37:00	OF OUR OUR FOOD PANTRIES AND
00:59:37:00	00:59:41:00	GETTING THAT INTO THE THEIR
00:59:41:00	00:59:42:00	HANDS AND HAVING IT BE SAFE TO
00:59:42:00	00:59:42:00	CONSUME AND ALL OF THAT THERE'S
00:59:42:00	00:59:45:00	ALREADY SOME GREAT WORK THAT'S
00:59:45:00	00:59:46:00	HAPPENING WITH LOVE AND
00:59:46:00	00:59:48:00	SPOONFULS AND BLESS SENIORS WHO
00:59:48:00	00:59:49:00	ARE INCREDIBLE.
00:59:49:00	00:59:51:00	I CAN'T WAIT FOR EVERYBODY TO
00:59:51:00	00:59:52:00	MEET THEM ONE DAY BUT IF WE CAN
00:59:52:00	00:59:52:00	BE TALKING ABOUT THAT THAT
00:59:52:00	00:59:52:00	WOULD BE GREAT.
00:59:52:00	00:59:55:00	BUT JUST OVERALL JUST WANTED TO
00:59:55:00	00:59:56:00	SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH AND
00:59:56:00	00:59:56:00	REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO THE
00:59:56:00	00:59:56:00	CONVERSATION.
00:59:56:00	00:59:59:00	THANK YOU.
00:59:59:00	00:59:59:00	THANK YOU.
00:59:59:00	01:00:00:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES COMES FROM
01:00:00:00	01:00:00:00	HERE YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
01:00:00:00	01:00:01:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR AND
01:00:01:00	01:00:02:00	THANK YOU TO THE MAKERS.
01:00:02:00	01:00:03:00	I'M REALLY EXCITED TO HAVE THIS
01:00:03:00	01:00:03:00	CONVERSATION.
01:00:03:00	01:00:06:00	I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
01:00:06:00	01:00:07:00	FOR US TO ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE
01:00:07:00	01:00:10:00	THAT, YOU KNOW, AS THIS WAS
01:00:10:00	01:00:11:00	PART OF OUR DAILY THIS IS WHAT
01:00:11:00	01:00:14:00	WE DO ANYWAYS IN OUR HOMELANDS.
01:00:14:00	01:00:15:00	AND SO I THINK THERE'S ALSO AN
01:00:15:00	01:00:17:00	OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO REALLY
01:00:17:00	01:00:18:00	TALK ABOUT THAT FROM
01:00:18:00	01:00:21:00	UNDERSTANDING IT FROM WHERE
01:00:21:00	01:00:22:00	WE'VE BEEN AND HOW WE USED TO
01:00:22:00	01:00:22:00	DO THINGS ANYWAYS.
01:00:22:00	01:00:25:00	NOW WE'RE JUST LIVING IN
01:00:25:00	01:00:25:00	AMERICA AND JUST GETTING BACK
01:00:25:00	01:00:26:00	TO BE PART OF YOUR DAILY LIVES.
01:00:26:00	01:00:29:00	WE DON'T HAVE OURSELVES SET UP
01:00:29:00	01:00:33:00	FOR COMPOST ON MY I A FEW
01:00:33:00	01:00:34:00	NEIGHBORS OF MINE HAVE A LITTLE
01:00:34:00	01:00:36:00	COMPOST LITTLE BUCKET AND THEN
01:00:36:00	01:00:37:00	THEY PUT THEIR FOOD THERE SO
01:00:37:00	01:00:39:00	IT'S PICKING UP STEAM.
01:00:39:00	01:00:40:00	BUT I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
01:00:40:00	01:00:40:00	RIGHT THAT IN COMMUNITIES
01:00:40:00	01:00:44:00	OF COLOR IN PARTICULAR YOU KNOW
01:00:44:00	01:00:45:00	THIS IS NOT THIS IS NOT PART
01:00:45:00	01:00:48:00	OF OUR EVERYDAY CONVERSATION.
01:00:48:00	01:00:49:00	SO AS WE CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT
01:00:49:00	01:00:49:00	THIS, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
01:00:49:00	01:00:52:00	FOR BOTH AN AWARENESS
01:00:52:00	01:00:52:00	STANDPOINT AND ALSO
01:00:52:00	01:00:53:00	UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS
01:00:53:00	01:00:56:00	SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE SHOULD
01:00:56:00	01:01:00:00	BE LEANING INTO AND AND I DON'T
01:01:00:00	01:01:01:00	THINK THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE
01:01:01:00	01:01:04:00	DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS REALLY SEE
01:01:04:00	01:01:04:00	THIS AS A CONVERSATION THAT
01:01:04:00	01:01:07:00	IMPACTS THEM RIGHT?
01:01:07:00	01:01:08:00	SO I THINK THAT THIS IS WHERE
01:01:08:00	01:01:09:00	WE HAVE SUCH AN AMAZING
01:01:09:00	01:01:11:00	OPPORTUNITY FROM AN EDUCATIONAL
01:01:11:00	01:01:12:00	STANDPOINT TO MAKE COMPOSTING
01:01:12:00	01:01:12:00	SEXY AGAIN, RIGHT?
01:01:12:00	01:01:15:00	LIKE CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
01:01:15:00	01:01:19:00	PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THE THE
01:01:19:00	01:01:19:00	THE IMPACT THAT IT WILL HAVE
01:01:19:00	01:01:20:00	NOT JUST ON THE ENVIRONMENT BUT
01:01:20:00	01:01:23:00	JUST OVERALL IN OUR QUALITY
01:01:23:00	01:01:23:00	OF LIFE.
01:01:23:00	01:01:24:00	SO LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING
01:01:24:00	01:01:27:00	THE CONVERSATION AND THANK YOU
01:01:27:00	01:01:27:00	FOR BRINGING IT TO THE COUNCIL.

01:01:28:00	01:01:28:00	THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES
01:01:28:00	01:01:30:00	COUNCILOR BRITTANY OF THE
01:01:30:00	01:01:30:00	FLOOR.

01:01:30:00	01:01:34:00	THIS IS A GREAT HEARING ORDER.
01:01:34:00	01:01:35:00	I AM VERY EXCITED TO
01:01:35:00	01:01:38:00	PARTICIPATE IN THIS AND I'M
01:01:38:00	01:01:39:00	INCREDIBLY ENCOURAGED BY THE
01:01:39:00	01:01:41:00	FACT THAT WE'VE INCREASED FROM
01:01:41:00	01:01:42:00	10000 TO 30000 OF THE GREEN
01:01:42:00	01:01:45:00	COMPOST IN BUCKETS ON THE
01:01:45:00	01:01:46:00	STREETS AND A SUCCESS BEGETS
01:01:46:00	01:01:50:00	SUCCESS BECAUSE FOLKS SEE A
01:01:50:00	01:01:51:00	GREEN BUCKET AND SAY WHAT'S
01:01:51:00	01:01:51:00	THAT?
01:01:51:00	01:01:53:00	AND THEN THEY GET ONE SO THE
01:01:53:00	01:01:54:00	WHOLE STREET ENDS UP WITH A
01:01:54:00	01:01:56:00	WHAT'S A GREEN BUCKET?
01:01:56:00	01:01:57:00	PART OF THE LIMITATIONS OF THE
01:01:57:00	01:02:00:00	PROGRAM IS CONSUMER
01:02:00:00	01:02:01:00	COUNCILOR CLAUDIA ZAPATA HAS
01:02:01:00	01:02:01:00	ALREADY MENTIONED IT'S SORT
01:02:01:00	01:02:02:00	OF LIMITED TO BUILDINGS THAT
01:02:02:00	01:02:04:00	ARE UNDER SIX UNITS AND I WOULD
01:02:04:00	01:02:08:00	LOVE TO SEE A WAY THAT WE COULD
01:02:08:00	01:02:08:00	IMPROVE THAT.
01:02:08:00	01:02:09:00	ONE WAY WOULD BE TO INCREASE
01:02:09:00	01:02:11:00	THE AVAILABILITY OF PROJECT
01:02:11:00	01:02:11:00	OSCAR.
01:02:11:00	01:02:14:00	THE OTHER THOUGHT THOUGHT WE
01:02:14:00	01:02:15:00	SHOULD HAVE IS THINKING ABOUT
01:02:15:00	01:02:18:00	WORKING WITH OUR PLANNING
01:02:18:00	01:02:18:00	DEPARTMENT TO THINK ABOUT NEW
01:02:18:00	01:02:22:00	BUILDINGS AND HOW WE CAN SEE IF
01:02:22:00	01:02:22:00	WE CAN INCORPORATE COMPOSTING
01:02:22:00	01:02:26:00	FOR NEW BUILDINGS SO THAT THAT
01:02:26:00	01:02:26:00	THAT THAT FOOD WASTE DOESN'T
01:02:26:00	01:02:30:00	END UP IN TRASH BINS.
01:02:30:00	01:02:31:00	THE ONE THING I JUST LOOKED UP
01:02:31:00	01:02:34:00	AT PROJECT OSCAR WE HAVE THREE
01:02:34:00	01:02:34:00	PROJECT OSCARS IN BAR IN
01:02:34:00	01:02:37:00	BRIGHTON BUT WE HAVE NONE IN
01:02:37:00	01:02:40:00	ALLSTON AND I THINK THAT'S
01:02:40:00	01:02:41:00	SOMETHING I'M GOING TO HAVE TO
01:02:41:00	01:02:45:00	LOOK INTO BECAUSE ALLISON HAS
01:02:45:00	01:02:45:00	THE DUBIOUS HONOR OF BEING
01:02:45:00	01:02:48:00	CALLED RAD CITY AND PART OF THE
01:02:48:00	01:02:49:00	PROBLEM IS THAT THE RODENTS
01:02:49:00	01:02:52:00	HAVE SUCH AN EASY ACCESS TO A
01:02:52:00	01:02:55:00	LOT OF FOOD IN TRASH BINS AND
01:02:55:00	01:02:56:00	AND IN THE IN THE TRASH.
01:02:56:00	01:02:59:00	SO I THINK THIS IS JUST ONE
01:02:59:00	01:03:03:00	OF THE MANY, MANY STRATEGIES
01:03:03:00	01:03:04:00	THAT WE HAVE TO TRY AND REDUCE
01:03:04:00	01:03:05:00	OUR OWN POPULATION.
01:03:05:00	01:03:07:00	BUT IT ALSO MAKES GOOD
01:03:07:00	01:03:11:00	ENVIRONMENTAL SENSE AND AND
01:03:11:00	01:03:12:00	SAVES A LOT OF EXTRA ORGANIC
01:03:12:00	01:03:15:00	MATTER BEING PUT INTO THE
01:03:15:00	01:03:15:00	LANDFILL.
01:03:15:00	01:03:16:00	SO IT'S A WIN WIN ALL ROUND.
01:03:16:00	01:03:18:00	SO I LOOK FORWARD TO THE
01:03:18:00	01:03:19:00	CONVERSATION AND THANK THE
01:03:19:00	01:03:22:00	SPONSORS ONCE AGAIN FOR THEIR

01:06:31:00	01:06:31:00	I FILED THIS RESOLUTION
01:06:31:00	01:06:32:00	RESOLUTIONS I CONTINUE TO
01:06:32:00	01:06:35:00	BELIEVE OUR FOCUS MUST BE ON
01:06:35:00	01:06:38:00	RECOVERY AND TREATMENT TO
01:06:38:00	01:06:39:00	ADDRESS THE ONGOING CRISIS THAT
01:06:39:00	01:06:45:00	WE HAVE IN OUR CITY AFTER LAST
01:06:45:00	01:06:49:00	WEEK'S VOTE MANY PEOPLE CALLED
01:06:49:00	01:06:52:00	ME AND ASKED ME IF WE COULD
01:06:52:00	01:06:53:00	CONTINUE THIS IMPORTANT
01:06:53:00	01:06:56:00	DISCUSSION.
01:06:56:00	01:06:57:00	CERTAINLY THEY WEREN'T IN
01:06:57:00	01:07:00:00	SUPPORT OF SAFE INJECTION SITES
01:07:00:00	01:07:03:00	BUT THEY DO THEY DO SUPPORT
01:07:03:00	01:07:04:00	THEY ALSO SUPPORT A
01:07:04:00	01:07:08:00	RECOVERY CAMPUS IN BOSTON OR IN
01:07:08:00	01:07:11:00	GREATER BOSTON.
01:07:11:00	01:07:15:00	LONG ISLAND IS IN BOSTON EVEN
01:07:15:00	01:07:15:00	THOUGH IT'S EVEN THOUGH IT'S
01:07:15:00	01:07:18:00	CONNECTED TO QUINCY.
01:07:18:00	01:07:19:00	THAT WAS THAT WAS THE REASON
01:07:19:00	01:07:23:00	FOR THE SUBSTITUTION IS WHETHER
01:07:23:00	01:07:24:00	THE RECOVERY CAMPUS WOULD BE IN
01:07:24:00	01:07:26:00	BOSTON OR POSSIBLY OUTSIDE
01:07:26:00	01:07:30:00	OF THE CITY LIMITS.
01:07:30:00	01:07:31:00	BUT I DO THINK WE AS A CITY
01:07:31:00	01:07:34:00	NEED A STRUCTURED ENVIRONMENT
01:07:34:00	01:07:38:00	SUCH AS LONG ISLAND OR ANOTHER
01:07:38:00	01:07:41:00	LOCATION IF LONG ISLAND IS NOT
01:07:41:00	01:07:42:00	GOING FORWARD.
01:07:42:00	01:07:45:00	BUT WE DO NEED ANOTHER LOCATION
01:07:45:00	01:07:45:00	WHERE PEOPLE DEALING WITH
01:07:45:00	01:07:49:00	SUBSTANCE USE CHALLENGES HAVE
01:07:49:00	01:07:52:00	THE RESOURCES, THE TREATMENT
01:07:52:00	01:07:56:00	RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS THAT THEY
01:07:56:00	01:07:56:00	NEED AND DESERVE SO THAT THEY
01:07:56:00	01:08:00:00	CAN GET INTO DETOX SO THAT THEY
01:08:00:00	01:08:04:00	CAN GET INTO RECOVERY, DEVELOP
01:08:04:00	01:08:04:00	THE PROGRAM TO ADDRESS SHORT
01:08:04:00	01:08:07:00	TERM HOUSING CHALLENGES AND
01:08:07:00	01:08:11:00	LONG TERM HOUSING NEEDS WHEN
01:08:11:00	01:08:12:00	WHEN LONG ISLAND WAS OPENED I
01:08:12:00	01:08:15:00	WAS A PROBATION OFFICER AT
01:08:15:00	01:08:16:00	SUFFOLK SUPERIOR COURT AND I
01:08:16:00	01:08:19:00	WAS REQUIRED TO VISIT LONG
01:08:19:00	01:08:20:00	ISLAND ONCE A WEEK ON WEDNESDAY
01:08:20:00	01:08:24:00	NIGHTS AND TALKED TO AND WITH
01:08:24:00	01:08:27:00	MY MY PROBATIONERS AND IN MANY
01:08:27:00	01:08:30:00	OF THEM MOST OF THEM REALLY
01:08:30:00	01:08:31:00	WERE IN A RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM.
01:08:31:00	01:08:34:00	AND AT THAT RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM
01:08:34:00	01:08:35:00	ON LONG ISLAND THEY WERE
01:08:35:00	01:08:36:00	ENGAGED IN MENTAL HEALTH
01:08:36:00	01:08:36:00	COUNSELING.
01:08:36:00	01:08:38:00	THEY WERE ENGAGED IN
01:08:38:00	01:08:38:00	RECOVERY SERVICES.
01:08:38:00	01:08:42:00	MANY OF THEM ALMOST ALL OF THEM
01:08:42:00	01:08:43:00	ON PROBATION ALSO RECEIVED
01:08:43:00	01:08:45:00	RANDOM RANDOM DRUG URINALYSIS
01:08:45:00	01:08:46:00	TESTING.
01:08:46:00	01:08:49:00	BUT IT WAS A STRUCTURED PROGRAM
01:08:49:00	01:08:53:00	WHERE THEY COULD STAY THERE FOR
01:08:53:00	01:08:54:00	FOUR SIX MONTHS OR 12 MONTHS
01:08:54:00	01:08:57:00	AND BEGIN THE PROCESS
01:08:57:00	01:08:57:00	OF HEALING AND START THE
01:08:57:00	01:09:01:00	PROCESS OF RECOVERY.
01:09:01:00	01:09:02:00	AND IT WAS JUST AN EXCEPTIONAL
01:09:02:00	01:09:05:00	PROGRAM THAT LONG ISLAND.
01:09:05:00	01:09:06:00	BUT WE DO NEED ANOTHER PROGRAM
01:09:06:00	01:09:09:00	A RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM IN THE
01:09:09:00	01:09:12:00	CITY OF BOSTON OR POSSIBLY
01:09:12:00	01:09:13:00	OUTSIDE OF THE CITY OF BOSTON
01:09:13:00	01:09:17:00	THAT WHEN PEOPLE ARE DEALING
01:09:17:00	01:09:17:00	WITH SUBSTANCE USE CHALLENGES
01:09:17:00	01:09:21:00	AND MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES THAT
01:09:21:00	01:09:22:00	THEY CAN GO TO THIS PLACE TO
01:09:22:00	01:09:25:00	RECEIVE ALL OF THE SERVICE
01:09:25:00	01:09:25:00	SERVICES IN A STRUCTURED
01:09:25:00	01:09:29:00	CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT.

01:09:36:00	01:09:41:00	WE TALK ABOUT THIS NEED A LOT
01:09:41:00	01:09:41:00	BUT I DO BELIEVE WE NEED TO
01:09:41:00	01:09:44:00	MOVE FORWARD AND REALLY
01:09:44:00	01:09:44:00	PRIORITIZE THAT SOMETHING
01:09:44:00	01:09:45:00	HAPPENS.
01:09:45:00	01:09:48:00	IT'S BEEN 11 YEARS NOW IN
01:09:48:00	01:09:51:00	OCTOBER OF 2014 THE BRIDGE WENT
01:09:51:00	01:09:51:00	DOWN.
01:09:51:00	01:09:54:00	I TELL THE STORY OFTEN.
01:09:54:00	01:09:55:00	MY SON WAS ON LONG ISLAND THAT
01:09:55:00	01:09:58:00	NIGHT WHEN THE BRIDGE WAS SHUT
01:09:58:00	01:09:59:00	DOWN AND THEY HAD TO EVACUATE
01:09:59:00	01:09:59:00	EVERYONE OUT THERE AND THE
01:09:59:00	01:10:02:00	SERVICES THERE RANGED LIKE
01:10:02:00	01:10:03:00	COUNCIL OF FLYNN SAID HOMELESS
01:10:03:00	01:10:06:00	SHELTER, DETOX HOLDING MENTAL
01:10:06:00	01:10:10:00	HEALTH, MEDICAL CARE AND SO
01:10:10:00	01:10:10:00	MANY OF OUR RESIDENTS AND
01:10:10:00	01:10:11:00	RESIDENTS ACROSS THE STATE
01:10:11:00	01:10:14:00	OF MASSACHUSETTS WERE RECEIVING
01:10:14:00	01:10:14:00	SERVICES LIFE SAVING SERVICES
01:10:14:00	01:10:18:00	WHICH CAME TO A CRASHING HALT.
01:10:18:00	01:10:18:00	AND OVER THE LAST 11 YEARS EVEN
01:10:18:00	01:10:21:00	THOUGH WE HAVE LOTS OF SERVICES
01:10:21:00	01:10:22:00	WE'RE PROVIDING, WE DEFINITELY
01:10:22:00	01:10:25:00	SEE A NEED THAT WE NEED ANOTHER
01:10:25:00	01:10:25:00	RECOVERY CAMPUS.
01:10:25:00	01:10:29:00	WE KNOW THAT REBUILDING IT IS
01:10:29:00	01:10:30:00	GOING TO BE IT'S LIKE THE
01:10:30:00	01:10:30:00	MADISON PARK CONVERSATION.
01:10:30:00	01:10:32:00	IT'S NEEDED.
01:10:32:00	01:10:33:00	EVERYONE SAYS WE SHOULD DO IT
01:10:33:00	01:10:34:00	BUT IT'S GOING TO COST A LOT
01:10:34:00	01:10:36:00	OF MONEY AND IT COULD BE A
01:10:36:00	01:10:36:00	DECADE AWAY AND WE DON'T HAVE
01:10:36:00	01:10:37:00	THAT TIME TO WAIT.
01:10:37:00	01:10:40:00	SO I DO HOPE OUR COLLEAGUES
01:10:40:00	01:10:40:00	WILL BE IN SUPPORT
01:10:40:00	01:10:41:00	OF PRIORITIZING IN WHATEVER
01:10:41:00	01:10:44:00	THAT MEANS.
01:10:44:00	01:10:45:00	I THINK IT MEANS THAT WE WORK
01:10:45:00	01:10:47:00	TOGETHER MAKING SURE THAT WE DO
01:10:47:00	01:10:48:00	BETTER AND WE LISTEN TO THE
01:10:48:00	01:10:52:00	RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY AND
01:10:52:00	01:10:52:00	THOSE EXPERTS AND VOLUNTEERS
01:10:52:00	01:10:56:00	AND PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT THERE
01:10:56:00	01:10:56:00	EVERY DAY WORKING ALONGSIDE
01:10:56:00	01:10:59:00	THOSE WHO ARE IN RECOVERY, WHO
01:10:59:00	01:11:03:00	AREN'T IN RECOVERY BUT NEED
01:11:03:00	01:11:03:00	RECOVERY, WHO ARE DYING ON OUR
01:11:03:00	01:11:04:00	STREETS EVERY DAY THAT WE'RE
01:11:04:00	01:11:07:00	SUPPORTING EVERYONE THAT NEEDS
01:11:07:00	01:11:08:00	OUR SUPPORT AND WE REALLY PUT A
01:11:08:00	01:11:11:00	FOCUS ON PRIORITIZING THAT
01:11:11:00	01:11:11:00	CAMPUS AND IT DOESN'T NEED TO
01:11:11:00	01:11:12:00	BE HERE IN BOSTON.
01:11:12:00	01:11:15:00	SO THANK YOU.
01:11:15:00	01:11:15:00	I KNOW COUNCIL FLYNN WORDS
01:11:15:00	01:11:16:00	MATTER AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
01:11:16:00	01:11:19:00	THAT IF WE ARE LEANING ON THE
01:11:19:00	01:11:20:00	STATE IN MORE FEDERAL FUNDING
01:11:20:00	01:11:22:00	THAT IT MAY BE SOMEWHERE ELSE.
01:11:22:00	01:11:23:00	BUT OUR OUR RESIDENTS AND THOSE
01:11:23:00	01:11:26:00	WHO COME INTO OUR CITY NEED TO
01:11:26:00	01:11:30:00	BE SUPPORTED IN ANY WAY WE CAN.
01:11:30:00	01:11:30:00	SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS
01:11:30:00	01:11:33:00	CONTINUED SUPPORT ON THIS
01:11:33:00	01:11:33:00	COUNCIL.
01:11:33:00	01:11:34:00	THANK YOU THANK THE CHAIR
01:11:34:00	01:11:34:00	RECOGNIZES COUNCILORS GERARDI
01:11:34:00	01:11:38:00	ON THE FLOOR.
01:11:38:00	01:11:38:00	THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT AND
01:11:38:00	01:11:40:00	THANK YOU TO CARTER FLYNN FOR
01:11:40:00	01:11:41:00	HAVING ME AS THE THIRD COAST
01:11:41:00	01:11:41:00	SPONSOR.
01:11:41:00	01:11:41:00	OBVIOUSLY WE'VE BEEN WORKING
01:11:41:00	01:11:44:00	EXTREMELY HARD OVER THE PAST
01:11:44:00	01:11:48:00	TWO YEARS TO TAKE CARE OF THE
01:11:48:00	01:11:49:00	ISSUE DOWN IN THE SOUTH AND IN
01:11:49:00	01:11:51:00	MASSACHUSETTS WHERE THE LARGE
01:11:51:00	01:11:52:00	MAJORITY OF THESE ISSUES IS
01:11:52:00	01:11:55:00	CONGREGATED.
01:11:55:00	01:11:56:00	HOWEVER, THE CAMPUS IS SO
01:11:56:00	01:11:56:00	IMPORTANT I WANT FOLKS TO
01:11:56:00	01:11:59:00	UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CAMPUS
01:11:59:00	01:11:59:00	LOOKS LIKE.
01:11:59:00	01:12:00:00	IT DOESN'T MEAN IT NEEDS TO BE
01:12:00:00	01:12:02:00	IN ONE SPOT EITHER.
01:12:02:00	01:12:03:00	IT DOESN'T GET IT.
01:12:03:00	01:12:03:00	WE HAVE THE CONVERSATION ABOUT
01:12:03:00	01:12:06:00	WHETHER IT'S IN THE CITY OR
01:12:06:00	01:12:07:00	OUTSIDE THE CITY THAT IS UP FOR
01:12:07:00	01:12:09:00	DIFFERENCE.
01:12:09:00	01:12:10:00	HOWEVER, IT'S ALSO HOW IT LOOKS
01:12:10:00	01:12:13:00	SITING THIS IS A DIFFICULT
01:12:13:00	01:12:14:00	THING BECAUSE INTO ANY PLACE
01:12:14:00	01:12:14:00	YOU GO PEOPLE ARE SAYING I'D
01:12:14:00	01:12:17:00	RATHER NOT HAVE THAT CAMPUS
01:12:17:00	01:12:17:00	HERE.
01:12:17:00	01:12:18:00	SOME PEOPLE HAVE THE ARGUMENTS
01:12:18:00	01:12:21:00	IDEALLY IN ONE SPOT FOR FOLKS
01:12:21:00	01:12:22:00	TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS WOULD
01:12:22:00	01:12:25:00	BE THE BEST WAY BUT I'D LIKE TO
01:12:25:00	01:12:29:00	YOU KNOW FOR US ALL TO THINK
01:12:29:00	01:12:29:00	ABOUT IT IT'S NOT JUST A SOUTH
01:12:29:00	01:12:30:00	END PROBLEM.
01:12:30:00	01:12:31:00	WE KNOW IT'S NOT JUST A
01:12:31:00	01:12:32:00	DORCHESTER.
01:12:32:00	01:12:33:00	IT'S NOT JUST A IT'S NOT JUST A
01:12:33:00	01:12:34:00	SOUTH BOSTON, NOT JUST A
01:12:34:00	01:12:37:00	ROXBURY ISSUE.
01:12:37:00	01:12:37:00	THIS ISSUE EXISTS IN ALL OF OUR
01:12:37:00	01:12:40:00	NEIGHBORHOODS ACROSS THE CITY
01:12:40:00	01:12:41:00	AND THIS CAMPUS.
01:12:41:00	01:12:42:00	THE IDEA OF THIS QUOTE UNQUOTE
01:12:42:00	01:12:45:00	CAMPUS IS TO HELP PLUG THE GAPS
01:12:45:00	01:12:45:00	THAT ARE IN THE CONTINUUM
01:12:45:00	01:12:48:00	OF CARE THAT WE HAVE NOW.
01:12:48:00	01:12:49:00	THE SYSTEM WE HAVE NOW IS NOT
01:12:49:00	01:12:49:00	PERFECT.
01:12:49:00	01:12:52:00	THERE ARE HOLES.
01:12:52:00	01:12:52:00	THE IDEA IS THAT THIS CAN HELP
01:12:52:00	01:12:53:00	OUT.
01:12:53:00	01:12:55:00	I KNOW FOLKS GET CALLS ABOUT
01:12:55:00	01:12:56:00	THESE TYPE OF ISSUES IN ALL
01:12:56:00	01:12:59:00	OF OUR DISTRICTS ACROSS THE
01:12:59:00	01:13:00:00	CITY AND THIS IS OPEN FOR ALL
01:13:00:00	01:13:00:00	OF THOSE PEOPLE.
01:13:00:00	01:13:03:00	SO WHETHER IT'S ON LONG ISLAND
01:13:03:00	01:13:07:00	WHICH IS ALSO IN MY DISTRICT,
01:13:07:00	01:13:07:00	WE'D LOVE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN.
01:13:07:00	01:13:08:00	BUT I THINK THAT IS A LITTLE
01:13:08:00	01:13:08:00	BIT FAR AWAY.
01:13:08:00	01:13:11:00	IT NEEDS QUITE A BIT
01:13:11:00	01:13:11:00	OF FINANCIAL INVESTMENT.
01:13:11:00	01:13:14:00	THERE COULD BE A SHORTER TERM
01:13:14:00	01:13:15:00	MORE DECENTRALIZED APPROACH.
01:13:15:00	01:13:18:00	I KNOW WE WANT TO DECENTRALIZE
01:13:18:00	01:13:18:00	THE SERVICES BUT ALSO A
01:13:18:00	01:13:19:00	DECENTRALIZED RECOVERY CAMPUS
01:13:19:00	01:13:22:00	THAT HELPS FILL THE GAPS
01:13:22:00	01:13:22:00	OF THIS CONTINUUM OF CARE AND
01:13:22:00	01:13:25:00	IT'S NICE TO SEE THAT I THINK
01:13:25:00	01:13:26:00	BECAUSE IT DOES AFFECT ALL
01:13:26:00	01:13:29:00	OF US AND THIS IS ABOUT GETTING
01:13:29:00	01:13:29:00	PEOPLE HEALTHIER.
01:13:29:00	01:13:30:00	IT'S NOT ABOUT SORT OF THE
01:13:30:00	01:13:33:00	CONVERSATION OF LAST WEEK.
01:13:33:00	01:13:33:00	RIGHT.
01:13:33:00	01:13:34:00	THIS IS SOMETHING I THINK THAT
01:13:34:00	01:13:36:00	WE CAN ALL GET BEHIND BECAUSE
01:13:36:00	01:13:37:00	WE KNOW IT HELPS EVERYBODY.
01:13:37:00	01:13:41:00	SO THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
01:13:41:00	01:13:42:00	THANK YOU.

01:13:55:00	01:13:56:00	ACCESS TO TREATMENT WITH A
01:13:56:00	01:13:59:00	SHOUT SHOUT OUT OF THE LONG
01:13:59:00	01:14:00:00	ISLAND RECOVERY CAMPUS HAS
01:14:00:00	01:14:00:00	INTERRUPTED THIS ACCESS OUR
01:14:00:00	01:14:03:00	COMMUNITY URGENTLY NEEDS THE
01:14:03:00	01:14:06:00	RESOURCES RECOVERY CAMPUSES
01:14:06:00	01:14:07:00	PROVIDE BUT IT'S BEEN OVER A
01:14:07:00	01:14:08:00	DECADE SINCE THE LONG ISLAND
01:14:08:00	01:14:10:00	BRIDGE HAS SHUT DOWN AND WITH
01:14:10:00	01:14:11:00	IT THE ISLAND'S RECOVERY CAMPUS
01:14:11:00	01:14:14:00	WHICH HAD OVER 700 SHELTER BEDS
01:14:14:00	01:14:16:00	AND OVER 200 RECOVERY BEDS AT
01:14:16:00	01:14:17:00	THE TIME OF ITS CLOSING THE
01:14:17:00	01:14:20:00	PROCESS TO RESTORE BOTH THE
01:14:20:00	01:14:21:00	BRIDGE TO LONG ISLAND AND THE
01:14:21:00	01:14:24:00	BUILDING AND THE BUILDING ON IT
01:14:24:00	01:14:24:00	IS LONG AND EXPENSIVE BUT
01:14:24:00	01:14:28:00	MEMBERS OF THE AFFECTED
01:14:28:00	01:14:28:00	COMMUNITY CAN'T AFFORD TO WAIT
01:14:28:00	01:14:29:00	BECAUSE OF THIS AND BECAUSE
01:14:29:00	01:14:32:00	OF ACCESS TO A CARE IS
01:14:32:00	01:14:32:00	ESSENTIAL.
01:14:32:00	01:14:35:00	I WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT
01:14:35:00	01:14:36:00	PRIORITIZING THE CREATION OF A
01:14:36:00	01:14:40:00	RECOVERY CAMPUS EITHER HERE IN
01:14:40:00	01:14:41:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON OR OUTSIDE

01:14:51:00	01:14:51:00	OF THIS RESOLUTION.
01:14:51:00	01:14:54:00	I REALLY FEEL MAYBE WE NEED TO
01:14:54:00	01:14:55:00	HAVE A DEEP DIVE INTO
01:14:55:00	01:14:59:00	DISCUSSING LIBYA HEARING ON THE
01:14:59:00	01:15:00:00	RECORD ON THE RECOVERY CAMPUS
01:15:00:00	01:15:02:00	ITSELF LIKE THE LONG ISLAND
01:15:02:00	01:15:05:00	PROCESS AND WHERE WE'RE AT WITH
01:15:05:00	01:15:06:00	THAT ONE BIG QUESTION I HAVE IN
01:15:06:00	01:15:09:00	RELATION TO I SEE THE PRICE TAG

01:15:13:00	01:15:17:00	BUILDINGS, NEW FACILITIES UP TO
01:15:17:00	01:15:20:00	CODE OUT ON LONG ISLAND WOULD
01:15:20:00	01:15:20:00	BE $550 MILLION.
01:15:20:00	01:15:23:00	THE BIG QUESTION I HAVE AND
01:15:23:00	01:15:24:00	WITH THE PROJECTED INCREASE DUE
01:15:24:00	01:15:27:00	TO INFLATION AND TARIFFS ETC.
01:15:27:00	01:15:28:00	AND THE BIG QUESTION I HAVE IS
01:15:28:00	01:15:32:00	THE MANY OF THE FOLKS WHO WE
01:15:32:00	01:15:35:00	FIND ON THE STREETS AND IN THE
01:15:35:00	01:15:38:00	THROES OF DEPENDANCE ON OPIOIDS
01:15:38:00	01:15:42:00	AND AND DRUGS FIND THEMSELVES
01:15:42:00	01:15:42:00	IN THIS POSITION BECAUSE
01:15:42:00	01:15:45:00	OF THEY WERE PRESCRIBED OPIOIDS
01:15:45:00	01:15:49:00	THAT THEY BECAME DEPENDENT ON
01:15:49:00	01:15:50:00	WHEN THEY HAD A BACK SURGERY OR
01:15:50:00	01:15:52:00	SOME MEDICAL AND MEDICAL
01:15:52:00	01:15:53:00	SITUATION AND THE OPIOID
01:15:53:00	01:16:00:00	SETTLEMENT WITH THE WITH PURDUE
01:16:00:00	01:16:03:00	AND WAS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
01:16:03:00	01:16:04:00	SO I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT
01:16:04:00	01:16:08:00	THIS ISSUE IS NOT JUST A BOSTON
01:16:08:00	01:16:08:00	ISSUE.
01:16:08:00	01:16:09:00	FOLKS COME HERE FROM RHODE
01:16:09:00	01:16:12:00	ISLAND, FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE,
01:16:12:00	01:16:13:00	COME FROM CONNECTICUT TO COME
01:16:13:00	01:16:15:00	FROM ALL OVER AND WE'RE LIKE A
01:16:15:00	01:16:16:00	MAGNET IN BOSTON.
01:16:16:00	01:16:16:00	SO IT'S A REGIONAL PROBLEM.
01:16:16:00	01:16:20:00	I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT IN
01:16:20:00	01:16:23:00	TERMS OF ADEQUATELY MEETING THE
01:16:23:00	01:16:24:00	NEEDS WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT WE
01:16:24:00	01:16:27:00	GET STATE AND FEDERAL MONEY TO
01:16:27:00	01:16:30:00	ADDRESS THIS ISSUE TO STAND UP
01:16:30:00	01:16:31:00	A NEW RECOVERY CAMPUS WHETHER
01:16:31:00	01:16:34:00	IT'S IN BOSTON OR IN THE
01:16:34:00	01:16:34:00	REGION.
01:16:34:00	01:16:35:00	BUT YOU KNOW, THE REALITY IS
01:16:35:00	01:16:39:00	WHEN YOU HAVE A CALL FROM

01:16:39:00	01:16:42:00	IN A CRISIS, THEY NEED TO GET A
01:16:42:00	01:16:45:00	RESIDENTIAL REHAB A REHAB BED
01:16:45:00	01:16:46:00	FOR TWO DETOX, THERE'S NO BEDS
01:16:46:00	01:16:50:00	AVAILABLE AND REALLY, YOU KNOW,
01:16:50:00	01:16:52:00	A SHORT TERM DETOX PROGRAM FOR
01:16:52:00	01:16:53:00	THREE OR FOUR DAYS IS NOT GOING
01:16:53:00	01:16:53:00	TO CUT IT.
01:16:53:00	01:16:56:00	WE NEED MORE TIME.
01:16:56:00	01:16:57:00	RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS LIKE THE
01:16:57:00	01:16:57:00	ONE THAT USED TO BE AT THE
01:16:57:00	01:17:00:00	SHATTUCK WHICH WAS THE KENNEDY
01:17:00:00	01:17:03:00	TO CAUCUS CENTER FOR WOMEN AND
01:17:03:00	01:17:04:00	I THINK OKAY, WE CAN TALK AND
01:17:04:00	01:17:07:00	TALK AND TALK BUT I THINK THIS
01:17:07:00	01:17:08:00	IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO REALLY
01:17:08:00	01:17:11:00	PUSH THE STATE TO STEP UP AND
01:17:11:00	01:17:12:00	SEE IF WE CAN AND I'M SURE
01:17:12:00	01:17:16:00	WE'RE DOING IT ALREADY BUT SEE
01:17:16:00	01:17:16:00	IF WE CAN ACTUALLY MAKE
01:17:16:00	01:17:20:00	PROGRESS THAT IT ALSO FOR THE
01:17:20:00	01:17:22:00	LONG ISLAND CAMPUS IN 2014 WAS
01:17:22:00	01:17:23:00	A HUGE LOSS AND IN ORDER
01:17:23:00	01:17:26:00	PARTICULARLY PAINFUL AND
01:17:26:00	01:17:29:00	DIFFICULT FOR MAYOR WALSH AT
01:17:29:00	01:17:30:00	THE TIME BECAUSE HE WAS HE WAS

01:17:34:00	01:17:37:00	GREAT ADVOCATE FOR SUPPORT FOR
01:17:37:00	01:17:37:00	THOSE WITH ADDICTION.
01:17:37:00	01:17:41:00	SO I FEEL IN THIS MOMENT IT'S
01:17:41:00	01:17:44:00	TIME TO SEE WHERE WE CAN REALLY
01:17:44:00	01:17:48:00	UP THE ANTE AND GET MORE MONEY
01:17:48:00	01:17:49:00	TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

01:18:14:00	01:18:15:00	THAT YOU KNOW, IN TERMS

01:18:38:00	01:18:39:00	A MOTION TO ADD NEW EVIDENCE

01:19:13:00	01:19:14:00	COUNCILOR DURKIN, YOU HAVE THE
01:19:14:00	01:19:14:00	FLOOR.
01:19:14:00	01:19:16:00	THANK YOU SO MUCH.
01:19:16:00	01:19:17:00	WE'RE AT A MOMENT IN THE CITY
01:19:17:00	01:19:20:00	OF BOSTON WHERE WHEN YOU'RE
01:19:20:00	01:19:20:00	INTERESTED IN RECOVERY AND
01:19:20:00	01:19:24:00	THERE'S THAT MOMENT OF I WANT

01:19:28:00	01:19:31:00	WHO FAMILY HAS DEALT WITH
01:19:31:00	01:19:31:00	SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL
01:19:31:00	01:19:35:00	HEALTH ISSUES, I THINK THAT'S
01:19:35:00	01:19:38:00	TRAGIC AND AND I KNOW THAT ON
01:19:38:00	01:19:39:00	THIS COUNCIL THIS YEAR WE'VE
01:19:39:00	01:19:39:00	HAD A LOT OF DIFFERENT
01:19:39:00	01:19:42:00	APPROACHES TO SOME OF THESE
01:19:42:00	01:19:42:00	ISSUES.
01:19:42:00	01:19:43:00	BUT I THINK WE CAN ALL STAND UP
01:19:43:00	01:19:45:00	TODAY AND SAY WHEN YOU NEED A
01:19:45:00	01:19:46:00	BED, WHEN YOU NEED HELP, WHEN

01:19:50:00	01:19:53:00	HAVE TO BE RICH TO MAKE THAT
01:19:53:00	01:19:54:00	HAPPEN AND THAT'S NOT WHERE WE
01:19:54:00	01:19:57:00	ARE TODAY.
01:19:57:00	01:19:58:00	AND I JUST WANT TO THANK MY
01:19:58:00	01:19:58:00	COLLEAGUES FOR ALL OF THEIR
01:19:58:00	01:19:58:00	INTEREST.
01:19:58:00	01:20:01:00	I THINK SOMETIMES WE HAVE
01:20:01:00	01:20:01:00	DIFFERENT APPROACHES BUT THAT
01:20:01:00	01:20:02:00	DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE CAN'T ALL
01:20:02:00	01:20:05:00	WORK TOGETHER ON SOMETHING AND
01:20:05:00	01:20:05:00	WE KNOW HOW LONG TERM PROJECT
01:20:05:00	01:20:08:00	IS THIS IS COUNCILOR FITZGERALD
01:20:08:00	01:20:09:00	AND COUNCILOR WEBER AND I TOOK
01:20:09:00	01:20:12:00	THAT BOAT TO LONG ISLAND.
01:20:12:00	01:20:13:00	WE KNOW HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO
01:20:13:00	01:20:15:00	COST.
01:20:15:00	01:20:16:00	I THINK THE FIRST I THINK
01:20:16:00	01:20:17:00	COUNCILOR WEBER HAD SOME GREAT
01:20:17:00	01:20:20:00	POINTS ABOUT THE BRIDGE ALSO I
01:20:20:00	01:20:22:00	THINK OUR FIRST ORDER
01:20:22:00	01:20:22:00	OF PRIORITY IS REALLY MAKING
01:20:22:00	01:20:26:00	THE ISLAND FIRE SAFE RIGHT NOW.
01:20:26:00	01:20:27:00	LIKE RIGHT NOW IT'S WE HAVE
01:20:27:00	01:20:27:00	THINGS THAT WE NEED.
01:20:27:00	01:20:30:00	WE HAVE MONEY THAT WE NEED TO
01:20:30:00	01:20:33:00	SPEND IMMEDIATELY TO SORT
01:20:33:00	01:20:34:00	OF STOP THE BLEEDING ON THAT
01:20:34:00	01:20:34:00	CAMPUS.
01:20:34:00	01:20:38:00	THERE ARE MULTIPLE WELL THERE
01:20:38:00	01:20:38:00	ARE MULTIPLE BUILDINGS THAT ARE
01:20:38:00	01:20:41:00	GOING TO COLLAPSE.
01:20:41:00	01:20:42:00	SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT WE
01:20:42:00	01:20:46:00	KNOW THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE
01:20:46:00	01:20:46:00	CAN SNAP OUR FINGERS AND FIX.
01:20:46:00	01:20:49:00	WE KNOW WE NEED STATE AND
01:20:49:00	01:20:50:00	FEDERAL FUNDING BUT WE ALSO
01:20:50:00	01:20:53:00	NEED THE PLANNING SO THAT WHEN
01:20:53:00	01:20:53:00	THAT STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING
01:20:53:00	01:20:56:00	AND PARTNERSHIP IS THERE, WE'RE
01:20:56:00	01:20:57:00	READY TO GO.

01:21:02:00	01:21:04:00	COUNCILOR FITZGERALD.
01:21:04:00	01:21:05:00	WE DON'T HAVE TO AGREE ON
01:21:05:00	01:21:05:00	EVERYTHING TO KNOW THAT WE'RE
01:21:05:00	01:21:08:00	NOT FAMILY MEMBER.
01:21:08:00	01:21:09:00	WHEN A COMMUNITY MEMBER NEEDS
01:21:09:00	01:21:12:00	HELP THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO
01:21:12:00	01:21:12:00	ACCESS IT AND WITHOUT THIS THEY

01:22:24:00	01:22:24:00	ALWAYS REACHING OUT TO OUR
01:22:24:00	01:22:25:00	OFFICE ASKING US TO DO MORE.
01:22:25:00	01:22:28:00	THIS IS WHAT IT REALLY LOOKS
01:22:28:00	01:22:31:00	LIKE WHEN WE ARE ALL RISING UP
01:22:31:00	01:22:31:00	IN SUPPORT OF SOMETHING THAT WE
01:22:31:00	01:22:32:00	KNOW THAT WILL BENEFIT THE

01:22:35:00	01:22:36:00	SO I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
01:22:36:00	01:22:39:00	THAT SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THIS
01:22:39:00	01:22:39:00	COUNCIL I'VE BEEN SAYING THAT
01:22:39:00	01:22:40:00	MASS AND GAS ISN'T JUST ABOUT
01:22:40:00	01:22:42:00	THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IT IS
01:22:42:00	01:22:43:00	OCCUPYING SPACE IN BUT THAT
01:22:43:00	01:22:46:00	IT'S TRICKLING IN TO THE ENTIRE
01:22:46:00	01:22:47:00	CITY AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE
01:22:47:00	01:22:50:00	OF EVERYONE IS AT RISK AND SO I
01:22:50:00	01:22:50:00	JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
01:22:50:00	01:22:54:00	AND I ALSO THINK IT IS
01:22:54:00	01:22:58:00	IMPORTANT FOR US TO UNDERSCORE
01:22:58:00	01:22:59:00	THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE HARM
01:22:59:00	01:22:59:00	THAT'S BEING CAUSED TO
01:22:59:00	01:23:02:00	COUNCIL REGIONS POINT I ALWAYS
01:23:02:00	01:23:02:00	YOU KNOW, POINT TO THE DOCTORS

01:23:06:00	01:23:07:00	IF WE REALLY WANT TO GET AHEAD
01:23:07:00	01:23:09:00	OF THIS ISSUE WE ALSO HAVE TO
01:23:09:00	01:23:10:00	LOOK AT THE ROOT CAUSE AND I
01:23:10:00	01:23:13:00	ALWAYS GOT TO BE A LITTLE PETTY
