>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
MADAM CLERK, WILL YOU PLEASE 
CALL THE ROLL TO ASCERTAIN THE 
PRESENCE OF A QUORUM.
[ ROLL CALL ]
[  ROLL CALL ]
[ OFF MIC ]
>> THANK YOU.
AT THIS TIME, IF ALL COUNCILORS 
AND GUESTS WOULD 
PLEASE RISE, I WOULD ASK THE 
CLERGY TO DELIVER THE 
INVOCATION, AND REMAIN STANDING 
AND COUNCILOR LAMATTINA WILL 
LEAD US IN THE PLEDGE OF 
ALLEGIANCE.
>> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.
I HAVE THE
 HONOR AND PLEASURE 
TO INTRODUCE ONE OF MY FAVORITE
PRIESTS IN EAST BOSTON, FATHER 
JOHN MAZZARO, DIRECTOR OF THE 
LEGIONS BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB IN 
EAST BOSTON.
SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT I
INVITED FATHER JOHN HERE A FEW 
YEARS AGO, BECAUSE HE'S ONE OF 
MY FAVORITES.
HE IS A NATIVE EAST BOSTONIAN 
AND A GRADUATE OF ST. DOMINIC 
HIGH SCHOOL, AND HE'S A 
DIRECTOR OF THE BOYS AND GIRLS 
CLUB AND DOING EXCELLENT WORK 
THERE FOR OUR YOUTH.
I'M PROUD OF THE TRADITION THAT
THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB HAS 
INSTILLED IN OUR CHILDREN FOR 
DECADES.
I HAVE FOUND MEMORIES OF 
GROWING UP AND ATTENDING THE 
BOYS CLUB WHEN I WENT THERE.
IT WAS A BOYS CLUB.
AND THE GIRLS COULD NOT USE THE
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB.
GINA, SHE WILL TELL YOU, THEY 
WOULD STAND ON THE STEPS IN 
THOSE COLD, COLD DAYS AND THEY 
COULDN'T USE THE BOYS AND GIRLS
CLUB, AND THANK GOD THAT HAS 
CHANGED.
UNDER FATHER JOHN'S LEADERSHIP,
THE CLUB HAS GROWN AND BECOME A
POPULAR AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM 
PROVIDING HOMEWORK HELP, ARTS, 
CRAFTS, RECREATION, ACTIVITIES 
INCLUDING SPORTS, EXERCISE, AND
OTHER TYPES OF GAMES AND 
ACTIVITIES.
AS A PRIEST, FATHER JOHN HAS 
DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO HELPING 
CHILDREN SHAPE THEIR FUTURE.
HE HAS LEARNED DURING HIS YEARS
AND BROUGHT THIS TO EAST BOSTON
AND MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN 
PEOPLE'S LIVES.
YOU CAN TELL HOW MUCH AN 
IMPRESSION HE HAS MADE BY THE 
POPULARITY OF HIS PROGRAM THAT 
HE RUNS, AND THE MEMBERSHIP IS 
INCLUSIVE.
HE SERVES PROBABLY OVER 400 
KIDS.
WHENEVER SOMEONE WANTS TO DO 
SOMETHING IN EAST BOSTON AND 
THEY WANT TO HELP THE 
COMMUNITY, I SAY YOU HAVE TO 
SEE FATHER JOHN AT THE BOYS AND
GIRLS CLUB.
HE REALLY SERVES ALL OF THE 
YOUNG KIDS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD,
AND HIS WHOLE STAFF DOES REALLY
GREAT JOB.
SO WITH THAT, I HAVE AN HONOR 
TO INTRODUCE FATHER JOHN.
>> THANK YOU.
BEFORE WE HAVE OUR INVOCATION, 
WE SHOULD REMEMBER ALLISON WAS 
THE YOUNG LADY WITH THE DUCK 
BOAT TRAGEDY, AND THAT WE 
REMEMBER HER AND THIS LITTLE 
STORY THAT I'LL TELL YOU WILL 
BE DEDICATED IN HER MEMORY.
USUALLY YOU HAVE A LOT OF 
DIFFERENT PRAYERS, BUT I THINK 
IF I TELL A LITTLE STORY WITH A
MORAL TO IT, I THINK WE'LL 
REMEMBER IT A LITTLE BETTER.
SINCE I'M WITH KIDS ALL DAY, 
THEY LIKE STORIES.
OLDER PEOPLE LIKE STORIES.
AND ALL OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE, I 
THINK, LIKE STORIES, TOO.
STORIES ABOUT AN INCIDENT 
THAT'S A TRUE STORY ABOUT A 
LADY THAT WAS AT AN AIRPORT.
SHE WAS A BUSINESSWOMAN.
SHE TRAVELLED A LOT.
AND LIKE MOST OF US WHEN YOU 

TRAVEL.
SINCE SHE WAS A FREQUENT FLYER,
SHE WOULD GO INTO THE VIP 
LOUNGE.
SO SHE FELT SPECIAL SO.
SHE SAID, LET ME GET A BOOK.
LET ME GET SOME COOKIES.
AND I'LL JUST CATCH UP ON MY 
READING, PASS THE TIME, RELAX.
SO SHE GOES INTO THE LOUNGE, 
GETS A NICE LITTLE CHAIR.
AND OPENS UP HER BOOK, AND A 
MAN SITS NEXT TO HER WITH THE 
NEWSPAPER.
HE'S CLEARING HIS THROAT, AND 
SHE SAID, ALL THESE CHAIRS, 
THIS GUY HAS TO SIT NEXT TO ME?
ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHE REACHES 
DOWN AND SHE TAKES A COOKIE OUT
OF THE BAG.
AND SHE EATS IT.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE GUY 
READING THE NEWSPAPER -- WELL 
DRESSED AND EVERYTHING -- HE 
GOES AND GRABS A COOKIE, TOO.
NOW, SHE GETS REALLY MAD AT 
THIS.
SHE SAYS, THE NERVE OF THIS 
GUY!
HE TOOK MY COOKIE!
THE NERVE!
THEY'RE MY COOKIES!
ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHE TOOK 
ANOTHER ONE, THEN HE TOOK 
ANOTHER ONE.
AND THEY KEPT DOING THAT.
SHE WAS GETTING MORE AND MORE 
INCENSED THAT HE WAS TAKING 
THOSE COOKIES.
UNTIL ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS
ONE LEFT, AND SHE SAID, SURELY 
HE HAS ENOUGH MORALITY TO LEAVE
ME THE LAST COOKIE.
AND HE TAKES THE LAST COOKIE.
AND HE BREAKS IT IN HALF.
AND HE GIVES IT TO HER.
SHE WAS SO MAD, SHE JUST LEFT 
THAT VIP LOUNGE AND WENT TO THE
GATE AND WAITED THERE.
SHE STARTED LOOKING AT SOME OF 
THE STUFF IN HER POCKETBOOK.
SHE WAS LOOKING FOR HER 
BOARDING PASS.
AND LO AND BEHOLD, SHE FOUND 
HER PACK OF COOKIES.
SHE WAS TAKING HIS COOKIES.
[ LAUGHTER ]
SO IMMEDIATELY, THIS POOR OLD 
LADY IS SITTING THERE AND, YOU 
KNOW, THE TERMINAL, AND SHE 
SAYS, "HAVE A COOKIE."
THE LADY SAYS, "I DON'T WANT A 
COOKIE."
"HAVE A COOKIE!"
AND SHE WENT LOOKING FOR THIS 
GUY AND COULDN'T FIND HIM, 
BECAUSE SHE FELT TERRIBLE.
BECAUSE HERE IS THIS GUY 
SHARING HIS COOKIES WITH HER, 
INNOCENTLY, AND BREAKING THE 
LAST COOKIE.
THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS VERY 
SIMPLE.
WE HAVE TO ALWAYS THINK THAT 
THE GOOD IN PEOPLE AND NOT 
JUDGE ANYONE.
AND IF WE DO THAT, WE'RE GOING 
TO HAVE A BETTER FUTURE WITH 
OUR YOUNG PEOPLE.
EACH MORNING WHEN I GET UP, I 
SAY THE SAME PRAYER I'VE BEEN 
SAYING FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS.
AND I SAY, GOD, PLEASE PROTECT 
THE KIDS, PROTECT THE YOUNG 
PEOPLE, AND HELP ME, ALONG WITH
EVERYONE ELSE, TO SEE IN THE 
YOUNG PEOPLE A GREATER FUTURE, 
PROTECT THE KIDS THAT MIGHT 
HAVE RUN AWAY FROM HOME, THOSE 
WHO HAVE SUCCUMBED TO THE 
ALLUREMENTS OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE,
THAT WITH GOD'S MERCY, AND MORE
IMPORTANTLY, HOPEFULLY, THAT 
MERCY WILL TOUCH THEIR HEARTS, 
A POSITIVE INFLUENCE WILL COME 
IN THEIR LIVES, THAT THEY WILL 
BE SAFE AND RETURN HOME.
I'M PRIVILEGED TO BE HERE.
I ALWAYS COME JUST TO SEE IF 
SAL REALLY WORKS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
HE SAYS HE DOES.
HE GETS IN THE PAPER, AND HE 
LOOKS LIKE HE'S DOING 
SOMETHING, SO I WANTED 
VERIFICATION.
SO I'M GOING TO GO BACK -- 
[ OFF MIC ]
-- YOU HAVE TO GET UP EARLY 
TOMORROW BECAUSE WE'RE HAVING A
BREAKFAST.
HE'S ALL NERVOUS.
SO I THINK WE NEED TO PRAY IN A
SPECIAL WAY, ALWAYS FOR OUR 
YOUNG PEOPLE, AND THANK YOU FOR
ALL YOU DO IN THE COUNCIL, BUT 
MORE IMPORTANTLY, TO REALIZE 
THE SUPPORT THAT EVERYONE WILL 
GIVE YOU BECAUSE OF THE 
GOODNESS IN YOUR HEARTS.
GOD BLESS YOU.
[  PLEDGE ]
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, FATHER 
MAZZARO AND COUNCILOR 
LAMATTINA.
FOR THIS MORNING'S 
PRESENTATION, I WANTED TO 
INVITE PARENTS OF ALLISON WHO 
ARE HERE WITH US.
IRA AND MARSA.
AND ALTHOUGH WE ARE HEARTBROKEN
WITH THEM THAT ONE OF THE 
BEAUTIFUL YOUNG PEOPLE OF 
BOSTON WAS LOST IN A TRAGIC 
ACCIDENT ON OUR STREETS, WE ARE
HONORED TO HAVE THEM WITH US, 
AS THEY REACHED OUT TO SEVERAL 
OF OUR COLLEAGUES TO REMEMBER 
THEIR DAUGHTER AND TALK ABOUT 
HOW THEY'RE CHANNELLING THEIR 
ENERGY AND EFFORTS INTO 
ADVOCACY ON BEHALF OF HER AND 
ON BEHALF OF THE MANY, MANY 
BOSTONIANS AND THOSE BEYOND WHO
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE HAVE THE 
SAFEST POSSIBLE ENVIRONMENT IN 
OUR CITY.
SO WELCOME, AND THANK YOU FOR 
JOINING US, IN TOWN FROM HAWAII
FOR A FEW WEEKS.
IVAN AND MARTHA WARMOUTH.
>> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME TIME TO
EXPRESS MY FEELINGS ABOUT THE 
TRAGIC ACCIDENT WHEN A DUCK 
BOAT RAN OVER AND KILLED MY 
DAUGHTER.
SHE WAS JUST 28 YEARS OLD.
THIS CREATES A HUGE HOLE IN OUR
FAMILY.
ALLISON WAS A MUCH BELOVED 
DAUGHTER AND SISTER TO TWO 
SIBLINGS.
WE PREPARED A MEMORIAL CARD FOR
HER FUNERAL, WHICH I SEE YOU 
HAVE A COPY OF.
YOUR COMMENTS ON THE BACK WERE 
RECALLED FROM FACEBOOK POSTS, 
FROM FAMILIES AND FRIENDS 
FOLLOWING HER DEATH.
YOU WILL SEE THAT SHE WAS TRULY
A REMARKABLE WOMAN WHO TOUCHED 
MANY LIVES.
ALI WORKED AS SENIOR 
UNDERWRITER AT LEXINGTON 
INSURANCE, A SUBSIDIARY OF AIG,
AND SHE LED THE HEALTHCARE TEAM
IN BOSTON.
ALI WAS A MEMBER OF THE 
COMPANY'S HIGH-POTENTIAL 
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM,
AND A KEY LEADER IN THE 
COMPANY'S INNOVATION BOOTCAMP 
PROGRAM.
AS A MEASURE OF HER OUTGOING 
PERSONALITY, ALI WAS VICE 
PRESIDENT OF THE LEXINGTON 
POSTMASTER'S CLUB.
SHE WAS PREPARING TO RELOCATE 
TO CHICAGO TO PURSUE HER MBA 
AND ALSO TAKE ON THE ROLE OF 
HEALTHCARE MANAGER IN AIG'S 
CHICAGO OFFICE, A PROMOTION SHE
EARNED THROUGH DEDICATION AND 
HARD WORK, AND ONE SHE WAS 
EXCITED ABOUT.
ALI VOLUNTEERED ON SATURDAYS, 
SUPPORTING THE WOMAN'S LUNCH 
PLACE, AN ORGANIZATION THAT 
HELPS WOMEN EXPERIENCING 
HOMELESSNESS OR POVERTY.
SHE WAS AN INTENTIONAL GIVER 
WITH A PLAN AND A BUDGET TO 
SHARE TIME AND MONEY WITH THE 
LESS FORTUNATE.
ALI WAS VERY HAPPY THE DAY SHE 
DIED.
HER CAREER AT AIG WAS IN FULL 
FLOWER.
SHE WAS READY TO START HER MBA.
SHE WAS EXCITED ABOUT CHICAGO.
SHE WAS FIT AND STRONG, AND 
THEN DISASTER.
MY WIFE AND I BELIEVE THIS TYPE
OF ACCIDENT IS PREVENTIBLE.
I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO
IMPROVE DUCK BOAT SAFETY, BUT 
AN EASY FIX THAT WOULD GO A 
LONG WAY PREVENTING THIS FROM 
EVER HAPPENING AGAIN IS SIMPLY 
TO ADD A SECOND PERSON TO THE 
DUCK BOAT CREW TO CONDUCT THE 
HISTORY TOUR.
WE BELIEVE THAT IF THE DRIVER 
WAS 100% FOCUSED ON THE ROAD 
INSTEAD OF MULTITASKING AS 
DRIVER, HISTORY TOUR LECTURER 
AND ENTERTAINER, THE CHANCE FOR
THIS TYPE OF ACCIDENT WOULD BE 
GREATLY REDUCED.
SUPER DUCK TOURS IN BOSTON 
ALREADY EMPLOY THIS BUSINESS 
MODEL.
DUCK TOURS IN OTHER CITIES DO 
THE SAME.
WE BELIEVE THE CITY OF BOSTON 
SHOULD REQUIRE BOSTON DUCK 
TOURS TO IMPLEMENT THIS CHANGE 
IMMEDIATELY.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO 
SPEAK.
>> THANK YOU BOTH FOR SHARING 
YOUR STORY AND REMEMBERING 
ALLISON HERE WITH US TODAY.
AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVOCACY
ON BEHALF OF MANY OTHERS.
>>> SO WE WILL TAKE A DEEP 
BREATH, AND AGAIN REMINDED THIS
MORNING OF THE VERY VITAL 
NATURE OF THE WORK THAT HAPPENS
IN THIS BUILDING AND ON -- AND 
THROUGHOUT OUR CITY, AND KEEP 
THAT IN MIND AS WE PROCEED.
MADAM CLERK, WE SHALL PROCEED 
WITH FORMATAL BUSINESS OF 
TODAY'S MEETING.
IF THERE ARE ANY OBJECTIONS TO 
LAST WEEK'S MINUTES, PLEASE 
MAKE THEM KNOWN.
SEEING AND HEARING NONE, THE 
MINUTES OF LAST WEEK'S MEETING 
STAND APPROVED.

THE FLOOR.
>> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
SINCE THE BAKER ADMINISTRATION 
HAS TAKEN OVER THE STATE AND 
THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
IN PARTICULAR, THE PROCESS TO 
SITE A MEDICAL MARIJUANA 
DISPENSARY IN THE 
MUNICIPALITIES ACROSS THE 
COMMONWEALTH HAS CHANGED.
LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES HAVE AN 
ACTIVE ROLE IN THE PROCESS OF 
CITING MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES.
A LETTER OF NONOPPOSITION OR 
SUPPORT FROM THE YOU MAYOR OR 
LEGISLATIVE ARE REQUIRED FOR 
APPLICANTS SEEKING APPROVAL TO 
OPEN A DISPENSARY.
IT'S A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION 
LOOKING TO SET A DISPENARY AT 
230 HARVARD, BOSTON 
NEIGHBORHOOD, LITERALLY AT THE 
BORDER WITH BROOKLINE.
THE ARROW IS PRESENTLY ZONED 
FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA USE 
REQUIRING A CONDITIONAL USE 
PERMIT.
I PUT FORTH AN ORDER FOR THIS 
HEARING SO THE COUNCIL MAY 
ISSUE ITS POSITION ON THE 
MATTER.
CONSISTENT WITH THE NEW 
REGULATION.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR CIOMMO.
WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK
ON THIS DOCKET?
DOCKET NUMBER 0786 WILL BE 
ASSIGNED TO THE COMMITTEE ON

>> DOCKET 07787, COUNCILOR 
ESSAIBI-GEORGE OFFERED THE 
FOLLOWING RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT
OF MASSACHUSETTS STATE SENATE 
BUDGET AMENDMENT 779 BY SENATOR
LINDA DORCENA FORRY.
>> THANK YOU, I OFFER BUDGET 
AMENDMENT 779 OFFERED BY MANY 
OF OUR STATE SENATOR FORRY.
779 DOES A LOT OF GREAT THINGS,
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT WILL 
INCREASE FUNDING FOR THE 
VOUCHER PROGRAM TO $120 MILLION
IN THE COMMONWEALTH'S BUDGET.
THIS WILL MAKE AN INVALUABLE 
DIFFERENCE FOR SO MANY HOMELESS
FAMILIES.
$120 MILLION FOR MRVP WILL 
INCREASE THE NUMBER OF 
AVAILABLE VOUCHERS AND MOVE OUR
FAMILIES TO MOTELS AND SHELTERS
INTO STABLE HOMES.
THIS AMENDMENT WILL ALSO MAKE 
MIVP MORE USABLE IN THE CITY OF
BOSTON BY INCREASING THE 
VOUCHER RENT CAP SO FAMILIES 
CAN RETURN TO THE CITY.
THERE ARE MORE THAN 3,000 
HOMELESS FAMILIES IN 
MASSACHUSETTS TODAY, AND MORE 
FAMILIES IN THE STATE EMERGENCY
SYSTEM, SHELTER SYSTEM, COME 
FROM BOSTON THAN ANY OTHER PART
OF THE STATE.
I COMMEND SENATOR FORRY FOR HER
LEADERSHIP AND ASK THAT THE 
ENTIRE BOSTON DELEGATION IN 
THIS BODY FOLLOW HER LEAD AND 
SUPPORT THIS AMENDMENT.
HOMELESS ADULTS AND CHILDREN, 
INCLUDING THOSE LIVING IN MOTEL
ROOMS, SUFFER IN WAYS THAT MANY
OF US WOULD FIND HARD TO 
IMAGINE.
TODAY, LET'S DO SOMETHING ABOUT
IT.
I ASK FOR SUSPENSION OF THE 
RULES AND THE SUPPORT OF MY 
COLLEAGUES IN THIS UNANIMOUS 
PASSAGE OF THIS RESOLUTION.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR 
ESSAIBI-GEORGE.
COUNCILOR PRESSLEY, YOU HAVE 
THE FLOOR.
>> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
I RISE TO COMMEND THE MAKER AND
ASK TO HAVE MY NAME ADDED.
YOU KNOW, THIS HAS BEEN THE 
TOPIC DU JOUR VERY APROPOS, 
VERY TIMELY ON THE HEELS OF 
LAST NIGHT'S GBIO MEETING, THE 
CPA, I WANT TO THANK COUNCILOR 
ESSAIBI-GEORGE FOR HER 
LASER-FOCUS, HER VIGILANCE AND 
HER ADVOCACY IN THIS SPACE.
OF COURSE, I WANT TO COMMEND 
THE STATE SENATOR -- THE AUTHOR
OF THIS AMENDMENT, SENATOR 
FORRY, FOR PUSHING FOR AN 
INCREASE IN STATE SUPPORT OF 
THE HOUSING VOUCHERS AND 
MEMBERS OF THE DELEGATION 
BOSTON WHO HAVE SIGNED ON, 
CHANG DIAZ, AND WE HAVE TO 
THANK THE ADVOCATES LIKE HUD 
TENANTS AND OTHERS, FOR THE 
HARD WORK OF BOTH EDUCATING, 
ADVOCATING AND LOBBYING THE 
STATEHOUSE AND CITY HALL.
AS UNDERSCORED IN LAST NIGHT'S 
GBIO MEETING ON CPA, EVERYBODY 
DESERVES A RIGHT TO THIS CITY, 
AND EVERYONE DESERVES RIGHT TO 
SHELTER, AND THAT'S WHAT I 
REALLY APPRECIATE ABOUT THE 
LANGUAGE IN THIS RESOLUTION, 
AND IN THIS AMENDMENT.
WE ALL HEAR FROM OUR 
CONSTITUENTS ON A DAILY BASIS, 
WHO ARE ON GROWING WAIT LISTS 
FOR HOUSING VOUCHERS AND REALLY
DO BELIEVE THIS WILL PROVE A 
CLINICAL GAME CHANGER, THE 
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE THAT 
ARE JUST ON THE PRECIPICE 
BETWEEN HOMELESSNESS OR THOSE 
WHO CAN, WITH THESE VOUCHERS, 
HAVE THE FOUNDATION THAT 
THEY'RE OWED AND THAT THEY 
DESERVE TO ENSURE THEY LEAD 
HEALTHY AND THRIVING LIVES.
SO AGAIN, I COMMEND THE MAKER 
AND WISH TO HAVE MY NAME ADDED.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR 
PRESSLEY.
MADAM CLERK, PLEASE ADD 
COUNCILOR PRESSLEY'S NAME.
COUNCILOR ZAKIM, YOU HAVE THE 
FLOOR.
>> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
I ALSO RISE TO COMMEND A GREAT 
COLLEAGUE ON THIS IMPORTANT 
RESOLUTION, AND I WILL BE 
ASKING THAT MY NAME WILL BE 
ADDED AS WELL AND WILL BE 
VOTING IN FAVOR.
THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT ISSUE
RIGHT NOW.
AND AS YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT, 
AND I JOIN IN CALLING FOR A 
HEARING AND ASKING TO INCLUDE A
HOUSING VOUCHER PROGRAM FUNDED 
BY THE CITY, AS WELL, IT IS 
CLEAR THAT WE ARE AT A CRISIS, 
AND WE HAVE MANY ACTIVISTS, 
SOME OF WHOM ARE HERE TODAY, 
FROM MASS LINE, HUD TENANTS, 
CBIO, NUMEROUS ORGANIZATIONS 
THAT HAVE BEEN LASER-FOCUSED ON
THIS ISSUE, THAT HAVE HELPED US
FOCUS ON NEW WAYS TO TACKLE AN 
ISSUE THAT'S EXISTED FOR FAR 
TOO LONG IN THE CITY OF BOSTON,
THE HOUSING AFFORDABILITY.
AT THE TIME WHEN WE SUPPORTED A
CPA ON THE BALLOT, FINDING NEW 
WAYS WHEN THE WALSH 
ADMINISTRATION HAS DEDICATED 
$7.5 MILLION TO KEEP OUR 
NEIGHBORHOODS AFFORDABLE, IT'S 
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT WE HAVE 
OTHER RESOURCES, AS WELL, THE 
STATE, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, AND 
THE CITY CAN'T DO IT ALONE.
IT'S IMPORTANT WE MAKE OUR 
VOICES HEARD ON BEACON HILL AND
CAPITAL HILL.
AGAIN, PLEASE ADD MY NAME.
I LOOK FORWARD TO FAST PASS AND
HOPEFULLY GETTING THE RESOURCES
THAT WE NEED IN THE HANDS OF 
THE PEOPLE WHO NEED THEM MOST.
THANK YOU.
>> MADAM CLERK, ADD COUNCILOR 
ZAKIM'S NAME.
COUNCILOR LAMATTINA.
>> THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
I RISE TO COMMEND THE MAKER, 
ESSAIBI-GEORGE, AND ASK THAT MY
NAME BE ADDED.
BEFORE I WORKED IN CITY 
GOVERNMENT, I WAS A HOMELESS 
ADVOCATE IN EAST BOSTON.
AND ONCE A YEAR, WE GO THERE IN
JUNE, AND A FUND-RAISER, AND I 
GET A CHANCE TO SIT DOWN AND 
SPEAK WITH THE FAMILIES.
30 YEARS, AND IT'S THE SAME -- 
THE SAME ISSUES THAT THEY'RE 
FACING.
IT'S MUCH HARDER TODAY.
BECAUSE 30 YEARS AGO, WHEN I 
WAS WORKING AT THE SHELTER, I 
WOULD HAVE THESE -- THEY WERE 
CALLED SECTION 707s.
SO I WAS ABLE TO GO TO A 
LANDLORD AND GET A VOUCHER.
I WAS ALSO ABLE TO SAY, IF YOU 
RENT TO ONE OF MY HOMELESS 
FAMILIES, I CAN GIVE YOU A 
MONTH'S RENT.
IT WAS VERY HELPFUL.
VERY HARD.
AND TODAY, AS THE FEDERAL 
GOVERNMENT JUST GETS AWAY FROM 
THE SECTION 8 CERTIFICATE, IT'S
VERY DIFFICULT FOR THESE 
FAMILIES.
WE PAY MORE MONEY TO HOUSE 
FAMILIES AT THE FAMILY SHELTER 
AND IN THE SHELTERS AND MOTELS.
WE SHOULD BE GIVING THESE 
FAMILIES VOUCHERS SO THEY CAN 
GET AN APARTMENT TO RAISE THEIR
FAMILIES.
IT'S NOT RIGHT THEY'RE LIVING 
IN A SHELTER.
SIX, SEVEN PEOPLE LIVING IN ONE
ROOM AT BOSTON FAMILY SHELTER.
IT'S HORRIBLE.
I WANT TO COMMEND THE MAKER AND
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TO 
OUR ATTENTION.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR 
LAMATTINA.
PLEASE ADD HIS NAME.
COUNCILOR JACKSON, YOU HAVE THE
FLOOR.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM 
PRESIDENT.
I RISE TO COMMEND COUNCILOR 
ESSAIBI-GEORGE FOR THIS TIMELY 
RESOLUTION.
RECENTLY, "THE BOSTON GLOBE" 
NOTED THAT 50% OF THE PEOPLE IN
THE CITY OF BOSTON MAKE $35,000
A YEAR OR LESS.
AND AS COUNCILOR LAMATTINA JUST
NOTED, IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR 
30 YEARS.
THE SAME NUMBER FOR 30 YEARS.
AND SO, WE KNOW THAT COSTS HAVE
GONE UP OVER THE COURSE OF 
TIME.
AND I THINK THE MOST ATTRACTIVE
PART ABOUT SENATOR FORRY'S 
LEGISLATION IS THAT IT ACTUALLY
IS RELEVANT TO THE BOSTON 
MARKET, AND THE VOUCHERS ARE 
ACTUALLY TRUE TO THE PRICES 
THAT WE NEED.
LAST NIGHT, WE WERE WITH 900 
ADVOCATES AT TBIO, AND AN 
ALLIANCE FOR HUD TENANTS 
PUSHING US ON THIS LEVEL.
I THINK THIS IS REALLY THE 
CHARACTER OF OUR CITY AND THE 
CHARACTER OF OUR STATE, AND WE 
ARE A COMMONWEALTH, WHICH IS 
REALLY ABOUT THE COMMON GOOD 
AND REALLY HAPPY WE'RE ABLE TO 
MOVE THIS FORWARD.
AND I WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS, 
PLEASE ADD MY NAME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR 
JACKSON.
ADD COUNCILOR FLAHERTY, 
COUNCILOR BAKER, CAMPBELL, 
CIOMMO, COUNCILOR LINEHAN, 
COUNCILOR McCARTHY, AND PLEASE 
ADD THE CHAIR'S NAME.
AT THIS TIME, COUNCILOR 
ESSAIBI-GEORGE MOVES FOR 
SUSPENSION OF THE RULES AND 
ADOPTION OF DOCKET 0787.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
>> All: AYE.
>> MADAM CLERK, WOULD YOU 
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL?
[ ROLL CALL ]
MADAM PRESIDENT, DOCKET -- 
[ OFF MIC ]
-- 
>> THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK.
DOCKET 07 87 HAS BEEN ADOPTED 
WITH A 12-0 VOTE.
>> DOCKET 0788, COUNCILOR 
EASTBOUND EASTBOUND OFFERED THE
FOLLOWING ORDER FOR A HEARING 
REGARDING GRADE CONFIGURATIONS 
IN BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
>> COUNCILOR ESSAIBI-GEORGE, 
YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
>> THANK YOU, ALL.
LAST WEEK, WE CALLED FOR A 
HEARING ORDER ON THE START 
TIMES EVER HIGH SCHOOLS.
AND SINCE THEN, WE'VE 
RECEIVED -- OUR OFFICE HAS 
RECEIVED LOTS OF THANKS AND 
APPRECIATION FOR THAT EFFORT, 
AND TO LOOK AT THE START TIME 
OF HIGH SCHOOLS.
SO WE'VE ALSO RECEIVED A 
REQUEST FROM A NUMBER OF FOLKS 
TO ADD TO THAT CONVERSATION IN 
A SEPARATE HEARING ORDER THE 
GRADE CONFIGURATIONS OF ALL OF 
THE SCHOOLS IN THE CITY OF 
BOSTON, AND TO ALSO LOOK AT THE
START TIMES OF ALL OF THE 
GRADES.
THE CITY OF BOSTON AND ITS 125 
SCHOOLS HAS ANYWHERE FROM 19 TO
33 DIFFERENT GRADE 
CONFIGURATIONS.
SOME OF THEM MAKE SENSE.
MANY OF THEM DON'T.
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING A 
PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATION TO MAKE
SURE THAT OUR GRADE 
CONFIGURATION MAKES SENSE, IT 
CARES FOR FAMILIES, FOR SCHOOL 
OPERATIONS, AND THAT WE'RE NOT 
CREATING OR ENCOURAGING OR 
CONTINUING BARRIERS FOR OUR 
STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, 
BOTH IN ENROLLMENTS AND STUDENT
AND FAMILY TRANSITIONS FROM 
GRADE TO GRADE AND BUILDING TO 
BUILDING.
AND TO REALLY JUST HAVE A MORE 
COMPLETE CONVERSATION WHEN WE 
DISCUSS THE START TIMES IN OUR 
HIGH SCHOOLS, BUT WE'RE ALSO 
TAKING A LOOK AT SOME OF THE 
GRADE CONFIGURATIONS AND MAKING
BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS AN EVEN 
MORE SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL SYSTEM.
THANK YOU.
