00:55:16:00	00:55:17:00	THIS IS AN ISSUE OF FOCUSED AND
00:55:17:00	00:55:20:00	WORKED ON PRIOR TO BEING ON THE
00:55:20:00	00:55:23:00	CITY COUNCIL FOR ALMOST EIGHT
00:55:23:00	00:55:24:00	YEARS AS A PROBATION OFFICER

00:55:43:00	00:55:46:00	BUT WHAT I EXPERIENCED WORKING
00:55:46:00	00:55:47:00	WITH RETURNING CITIZENS IS THE
00:55:47:00	00:55:51:00	CRITICAL ROLE GOVERNMENT AND
00:55:51:00	00:55:54:00	SOCIETY CAN PLAY IN HELPING

00:56:12:00	00:56:13:00	AND FOR SOCIETY TO TREAT THEM
00:56:13:00	00:56:14:00	WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE RESPECT
00:56:14:00	00:56:16:00	AND EMPATHY.

00:57:13:00	00:57:14:00	THE PERSON BECAUSE OF THE
00:57:14:00	00:57:15:00	BACKGROUND CHECK AND IT WAS

01:08:37:00	01:08:37:00	SMALLER BUILDINGS.
01:08:37:00	01:08:40:00	DISCUSSION FOCUSED ON THE
01:08:40:00	01:08:41:00	CITY'S ABILITY TO DETECT EARLY
01:08:41:00	01:08:44:00	CONVERSION ACTIVITY WHETHER THE
01:08:44:00	01:08:44:00	CURRENT LOOK BACK PERIOD IS
01:08:44:00	01:08:47:00	ADEQUATE, THE FEASIBILITY

01:08:55:00	01:08:56:00	THE ORDINANCE BROADER IMPACTS.
01:08:56:00	01:08:57:00	COUNCILORS QUESTIONED HOW THESE
01:08:57:00	01:09:00:00	CHANGES WOULD AFFECT BOTH
01:09:00:00	01:09:00:00	TENANTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS

01:09:11:00	01:09:12:00	FINALLY, THE COMMITTEE AND THE
01:09:12:00	01:09:15:00	PANEL POTENTIAL CHANGES THAT
01:09:15:00	01:09:16:00	COULD FURTHER STRENGTHEN THE

01:09:23:00	01:09:23:00	UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS.
01:09:23:00	01:09:24:00	THE PANEL EXPRESSED SUPPORT FOR
01:09:24:00	01:09:27:00	EXPLORING THESE ADDITIONAL
01:09:27:00	01:09:28:00	CHANGES AND A WILLINGNESS TO
01:09:28:00	01:09:28:00	WORK WITH THE COMMITTEE ON
01:09:28:00	01:09:31:00	LANGUAGE AMENDMENTS GIVEN THE

01:09:35:00	01:09:36:00	ADDITIONAL REVIEW AND
01:09:36:00	01:09:39:00	DISCUSSION NECESSARY TO
01:09:39:00	01:09:39:00	DETERMINE HOW BEST TO EXPAND
01:09:39:00	01:09:40:00	AND STRENGTHEN TENANT
01:09:40:00	01:09:43:00	PROTECTIONS CONSISTENT WITH THE
01:09:43:00	01:09:44:00	AUTHORITY PROVIDED BY THE

01:09:53:00	01:09:56:00	DECEMBER 31ST, 2025, IT IS

01:10:56:00	01:11:00:00	THIS CHANGE I THINK ONE OF THE

01:11:08:00	01:11:08:00	HEARING ON THIS THE THERE WERE

01:11:19:00	01:11:20:00	ORDINANCE.
01:11:20:00	01:11:23:00	AND I THINK IT'S PRUDENT,
01:11:23:00	01:11:26:00	PRUDENT PLAN TO JUST EXTEND IT
01:11:26:00	01:11:26:00	FOR ONE YEAR SO THAT WE
01:11:26:00	01:11:27:00	CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS AND
01:11:27:00	01:11:30:00	ARRIVE AT AN ORDINANCE THAT WE
01:11:30:00	01:11:33:00	CAN THAT IS ENFORCEABLE AND

01:11:52:00	01:11:53:00	THOSE CONDOS RENTALS.
01:11:53:00	01:11:57:00	SO I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING WE

01:24:59:00	01:25:03:00	THEY DON'T HAVE THE TIME OFF.
01:25:03:00	01:25:04:00	THAT HAS A BIG IMPACT ON A ON A
01:25:04:00	01:25:07:00	FAMILY HAS A BIG IMPACT ON A

01:25:08:00	01:25:10:00	IT HAS A BIG IMPACT ON CHILDREN
01:25:10:00	01:25:10:00	.
01:25:10:00	01:25:15:00	I HEAR FROM POLICE OFFICERS ALL
01:25:15:00	01:25:15:00	DAY ABOUT THIS.
01:25:15:00	01:25:16:00	I LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE
01:25:16:00	01:25:19:00	WE RESPECT POLICE OFFICERS AND
01:25:19:00	01:25:19:00	THE ROLE THEY PLAY IN THE
01:25:19:00	01:25:19:00	COMMUNITY.
01:25:19:00	01:25:22:00	THEY ARE OUR NEIGHBORS.
01:25:22:00	01:25:23:00	THEY ARE INVOLVED IN YOUTH
01:25:23:00	01:25:23:00	SPORTS.
01:25:23:00	01:25:26:00	THEY ARE ACTIVE IN THE
01:25:26:00	01:25:26:00	COMMUNITY.
01:25:26:00	01:25:27:00	THEY GIVE BACK.
01:25:27:00	01:25:29:00	THEY CONTRIBUTE.
01:25:29:00	01:25:30:00	THEY'RE NOT LOOKING FOR
01:25:30:00	01:25:31:00	ANYTHING OTHER THAN A LITTLE
01:25:31:00	01:25:34:00	BIT OF RESPECT BUT WORKING 16
01:25:34:00	01:25:37:00	HOURS A DAY CONSISTENTLY IS NOT
01:25:37:00	01:25:38:00	THE ANSWER.
01:25:38:00	01:25:41:00	IT'S A RECIPE FOR DISASTER.
01:25:41:00	01:25:44:00	WHEN YOU'RE WORKING 14, 15
01:25:44:00	01:25:45:00	HOURS A DAY AND THEN YOU HAVE
01:25:45:00	01:25:48:00	TO MAKE A MAJOR DECISION YOU'RE
01:25:48:00	01:25:48:00	NOT ON TOP OF YOUR GAME.
01:25:48:00	01:25:54:00	THAT'S WHEN MISTAKES HAPPEN.
01:25:54:00	01:25:55:00	WHAT WHAT I'M ADVOCATING FOR IS
01:25:55:00	01:25:58:00	I THINK WE ALSO HAVE TO CHANGE
01:25:58:00	01:25:58:00	THE LANGUAGE HERE IN THE CITY
01:25:58:00	01:25:59:00	OF BOSTON WHERE WE NEED TO BE
01:25:59:00	01:26:02:00	MORE RESPECTFUL AND SUPPORTIVE
01:26:02:00	01:26:03:00	OF POLICE OFFICERS AND THEIR
01:26:03:00	01:26:06:00	FAMILIES SO THAT POLICE SO THAT
01:26:06:00	01:26:09:00	YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN THAT WANT
01:26:09:00	01:26:10:00	TO JOIN THE POLICE FORCE CAN
01:26:10:00	01:26:11:00	JOIN THE POLICE FORCE.
01:26:11:00	01:26:14:00	WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO STAY WITH
01:26:14:00	01:26:17:00	FAMILY FRIENDLY HUMAN RESOURCES
01:26:17:00	01:26:17:00	PROPOSALS THAT MAKE THAT
01:26:17:00	01:26:20:00	POSSIBLE.
01:26:20:00	01:26:21:00	BUT WORKING 16 HOURS A DAY IS
01:26:21:00	01:26:25:00	NOT IS NOT HEALTHY FOR ANY
01:26:25:00	01:26:29:00	POLICE OFFICER.
01:26:29:00	01:26:29:00	WHEN COMMISSIONER COX FOR US
01:26:29:00	01:26:32:00	STARTED 40 YEARS AGO, THERE WAS
01:26:32:00	01:26:33:00	A POLICE OFFICER THAT ACTUALLY
01:26:33:00	01:26:36:00	WORKED 19 HOURS A DAY IN A
01:26:36:00	01:26:36:00	SHIFT.
01:26:36:00	01:26:36:00	THE FIRST CONVERSATION I HAD
01:26:36:00	01:26:39:00	WITH THE POLICE COMMISSIONER AT
01:26:39:00	01:26:40:00	THAT TIME WAS ABOUT THAT
01:26:40:00	01:26:44:00	SITUATION AND HE PROMISED
01:26:44:00	01:26:45:00	ME THAT THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN
01:26:45:00	01:26:47:00	AGAIN.
01:26:47:00	01:26:50:00	POLICE OFFICER WORKING 19 HOURS
01:26:50:00	01:26:50:00	AND THEN EXPECT HIM OR HER TO
01:26:50:00	01:26:51:00	BE ON TOP OF THEIR GAME IF
01:26:51:00	01:26:54:00	THERE WAS A MAJOR ISSUE WHERE
01:26:54:00	01:26:57:00	THEY HAD TO TAKE OUT THEIR
01:26:57:00	01:26:58:00	WEAPON FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY
01:26:58:00	01:27:02:00	WOULD NOT BE SUPPORTED HERE AT
01:27:02:00	01:27:02:00	CITY HALL.
01:27:02:00	01:27:03:00	THEY WOULD NOT BE SUPPORTED
01:27:03:00	01:27:06:00	HERE ON THE BOSTON CITY
01:27:06:00	01:27:06:00	COUNCIL EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE
01:27:06:00	01:27:09:00	PLACED IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT
01:27:09:00	01:27:10:00	WAS UNFAIR TO THEM AND THEIR
01:27:10:00	01:27:13:00	FAMILY AND TO BOSTON RESIDENTS
01:27:13:00	01:27:13:00	.
01:27:13:00	01:27:14:00	I THINK WE HAVE TO HAVE A
01:27:14:00	01:27:14:00	SERIOUS CONVERSATION GOING
01:27:14:00	01:27:17:00	FORWARD ABOUT POLICE IN OUR
01:27:17:00	01:27:21:00	CITY AND SHOWING THAT THEY ARE
01:27:21:00	01:27:22:00	TREATED WITH RESPECT THAT THE
01:27:22:00	01:27:24:00	CITY COUNCIL ADVOCATES FOR MORE
01:27:24:00	01:27:27:00	POLICE OFFICERS IN THE BUDGET
01:27:27:00	01:27:32:00	THAT WE DO THIS CONSISTENTLY.
01:27:32:00	01:27:32:00	WE DON'T CUT SERVICES FOR
01:27:32:00	01:27:36:00	PUBLIC SAFETY AND ENSURING THAT
01:27:36:00	01:27:39:00	POLICE ARE RESPECTED AND ARE
01:27:39:00	01:27:40:00	HEARD IN VALUED IN THE CITY.

01:28:10:00	01:28:10:00	THEIR ADVOCACY.
01:28:10:00	01:28:12:00	I THINK COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
01:28:12:00	01:28:13:00	IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT.
01:28:13:00	01:28:16:00	AND AS SOMEONE WHO MY SISTER

01:34:45:00	01:34:48:00	THANK YOU TO CHAIR MURPHY FOR A
01:34:48:00	01:34:51:00	GREAT HEARING.
01:34:51:00	01:34:52:00	I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I TOOK
01:34:52:00	01:34:55:00	FROM THAT IS WE TALK A LOT
01:34:55:00	01:34:58:00	ABOUT OUR KIDS AND PROGRAMING
01:34:58:00	01:34:59:00	FOR OUR KIDS.
01:34:59:00	01:35:02:00	WELL, IF YOU ADD UP ALL THE THE
01:35:02:00	01:35:02:00	THE LEAGUES, THE BASKETBALL
01:35:02:00	01:35:06:00	LEAGUES, BASEBALL, HOCKEY,
01:35:06:00	01:35:06:00	SOCCER THE AMOUNT OF PROGRAMING
01:35:06:00	01:35:09:00	THAT ALL VOLUNTEERS AROUND OUR
01:35:09:00	01:35:13:00	CITY PARENTS ARE PROVIDING FOR
01:35:13:00	01:35:14:00	ALL THE KIDS AND ALL ACROSS THE
01:35:14:00	01:35:17:00	CITY IS IT'S IT'S LIKE A WHOLE
01:35:17:00	01:35:18:00	INSTITUTION UNTO ITSELF AND
01:35:18:00	01:35:21:00	IT'S UP TO US TO SUPPORT THAT,
01:35:21:00	01:35:24:00	YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
01:35:24:00	01:35:25:00	AND I THINK THAT WHAT WE HEARD
01:35:25:00	01:35:29:00	IS THAT WHILE THEY THEY WANT TO
01:35:29:00	01:35:29:00	PROVIDE MORE PROGRAMING THE
01:35:29:00	01:35:33:00	OBSTACLE YOU KNOW THERE IS
01:35:33:00	01:35:33:00	PARTLY AN OBSTACLE IN TERMS
01:35:33:00	01:35:37:00	OF FUNDING BUT MORE THAN THAT
01:35:37:00	01:35:38:00	IT'S ACCESS TO FIELDS AND
01:35:38:00	01:35:41:00	ADEQUATE FACILITIES WHETHER
01:35:41:00	01:35:41:00	IT'S GYMS, HOCKEY RINK, SOCCER
01:35:41:00	01:35:44:00	FIELDS, BASEBALL FIELDS.
01:35:44:00	01:35:45:00	AND SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE AS
01:35:45:00	01:35:48:00	A CITY THAT WE'RE PROVIDING
01:35:48:00	01:35:49:00	THOSE KIND OF THAT KIND
01:35:49:00	01:35:49:00	OF INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE KIDS.
01:35:49:00	01:35:52:00	AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING
01:35:52:00	01:35:53:00	WITH ALL MY COLLEAGUES IN THE
01:35:53:00	01:35:57:00	NEAR FUTURE AND MAKING SURE

01:36:17:00	01:36:17:00	WHAT I HIGHLIGHTED DURING THIS
01:36:17:00	01:36:20:00	IMPORTANT MEETING IS THE
01:36:20:00	01:36:24:00	ABILITY FOR FAMILIES THAT DON'T
01:36:24:00	01:36:25:00	HAVE THE MEANS.
01:36:25:00	01:36:28:00	THEY SHOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO
01:36:28:00	01:36:28:00	ENGAGE IN YOUTH SPORTS
01:36:28:00	01:36:31:00	REGARDLESS OF LOGISTIC
01:36:31:00	01:36:32:00	CHALLENGES THAT MIGHT BE IN
01:36:32:00	01:36:35:00	THEIR WAY.

01:36:36:00	01:36:39:00	BOSTON LATIN SCHOOL.
01:36:39:00	01:36:40:00	HE HAD ACCESS AND MONEY FOR
01:36:40:00	01:36:43:00	CLEATS SO UNIFORMS ARE FOR
01:36:43:00	01:36:44:00	ME TAKING HIM TO A GAME, A
01:36:44:00	01:36:47:00	PRACTICE OTHER FAMILIES MAY NOT
01:36:47:00	01:36:50:00	BE SO FORTUNATE THAT THEY JUST
01:36:50:00	01:36:53:00	CAN'T DROP EVERYTHING OR SPEND
01:36:53:00	01:36:53:00	$200 ON CLEATS.
01:36:53:00	01:36:56:00	BUT HOW DO WE SUPPORT RESIDENTS
01:36:56:00	01:36:57:00	LIVING IN PUBLIC HOUSING THAT
01:36:57:00	01:37:01:00	WANT TO PLAY SPORTS?
01:37:01:00	01:37:02:00	HOW DO WE SUPPORT LOW INCOME
01:37:02:00	01:37:05:00	FAMILIES THAT WANT TO PLAY
01:37:05:00	01:37:09:00	SPORTS AND YOUNG GIRLS AND
01:37:09:00	01:37:10:00	YOUNG WOMEN SPORTS ARE CRITICAL
01:37:10:00	01:37:13:00	FOR THEM AS WELL PEOPLE
01:37:13:00	01:37:14:00	OF COLOR WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT

01:37:17:00	01:37:21:00	THEY HAVE ACCESS TO ALL SPORTS
01:37:21:00	01:37:21:00	.
01:37:21:00	01:37:22:00	MY FINAL MY FINAL FINAL POINT I
01:37:22:00	01:37:25:00	WANT TO MAKE IS HOW DO WE
01:37:25:00	01:37:27:00	SUPPORT CHILDREN WITH
01:37:27:00	01:37:28:00	DISABILITIES MANY OF THEM IN
01:37:28:00	01:37:32:00	WHEELCHAIRS, SPORTS ARE
01:37:32:00	01:37:32:00	CRITICAL TO THEIR HEALTH AND
01:37:32:00	01:37:35:00	MENTAL HEALTH.
01:37:35:00	01:37:36:00	I HIGHLIGHTED THE IMPORTANT
01:37:36:00	01:37:40:00	WORK COACH JOSE MANZO IS DOING
01:37:40:00	01:37:43:00	BUT I ALSO WANT TO ENSURE THAT
01:37:43:00	01:37:43:00	CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES HAVE
01:37:43:00	01:37:47:00	EQUAL ACCESS TO SPORTS
01:37:47:00	01:37:47:00	REGARDLESS OF WHAT NEIGHBORHOOD
01:37:47:00	01:37:51:00	THEY ARE IN.
01:37:51:00	01:37:52:00	I LOVE SEEING THE CHALLENGED
01:37:52:00	01:37:55:00	BASEBALL PLAYERS BECAUSE IF YOU

01:38:03:00	01:38:04:00	THEY HAVE TO HAVE A PROGRAM IN
01:38:04:00	01:38:06:00	DORCHESTER.
01:38:06:00	01:38:06:00	MY FATHER THE ASSISTANT
01:38:06:00	01:38:10:00	BASEBALL COACH BUT I LOVE
01:38:10:00	01:38:10:00	SEEING THE KIDS THAT HAVE
01:38:10:00	01:38:14:00	DISABILITIES GETTING EXERCISE,
01:38:14:00	01:38:15:00	COMPETING, LEARNING FROM THEIR
01:38:15:00	01:38:18:00	FELLOW CLASSMATES AND TEAMMATES
01:38:18:00	01:38:22:00	ABOUT SPORTSMANSHIP, ABOUT
01:38:22:00	01:38:22:00	TREATING EACH OTHER WITH
01:38:22:00	01:38:25:00	RESPECT AND DIGNITY, ENSURING
01:38:25:00	01:38:26:00	THAT A TEAM IS OPEN TO
01:38:26:00	01:38:30:00	EVERYBODY REGARDLESS OF SKILL
01:38:30:00	01:38:34:00	OR ABILITY BUT ENSURING THAT
01:38:34:00	01:38:34:00	PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES ARE
01:38:34:00	01:38:34:00	INCLUDED IN SPORTS.
01:38:34:00	01:38:41:00	THAT'S A PRIORITY FOR ME NOT
01:38:41:00	01:38:41:00	JUST BECAUSE I HAVE A LITTLE
01:38:41:00	01:38:44:00	NEPHEW THAT HAS SIGNIFICANT

01:38:53:00	01:38:56:00	EVERYBODY AND HOW CAN WE BE IN

01:43:27:00	01:43:30:00	HE WAS UNSURE OF WHAT THEIR
01:43:30:00	01:43:33:00	ROLE WAS BECAUSE IT RELATES TO

01:43:52:00	01:43:56:00	HAVING THAT ACCESS TO UTILITIES
01:43:56:00	01:43:59:00	AND POWER CAN HAVE A MAJOR
01:43:59:00	01:44:00:00	IMPACT ON ON A SENIOR THAT

01:46:02:00	01:46:03:00	AND IT WOULD CREATE A

01:48:34:00	01:48:34:00	THEY'VE SERVED OUR COUNTRY.
01:48:34:00	01:48:37:00	THEY DESERVE RESPECT.
01:48:37:00	01:48:38:00	WE HAVE A HISTORY IN THIS
01:48:38:00	01:48:41:00	COUNTRY OF BEING DISRESPECTFUL

01:52:49:00	01:52:51:00	COUNCIL SEES EVERY YEAR AND IS
01:52:51:00	01:52:52:00	PART OF THE TAX RATE
01:52:52:00	01:52:52:00	CLASSIFICATION PROCESS.
01:52:52:00	01:52:55:00	IT ADDRESSES TWO MATTERS THE
01:52:55:00	01:52:56:00	DIFFERENCE IN TAX RATES BETWEEN
01:52:56:00	01:52:59:00	RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL
01:52:59:00	01:52:59:00	PROPERTIES AND THE MAXIMUM
01:52:59:00	01:53:00:00	SAVINGS ALLOWED BY THE
01:53:00:00	01:53:02:00	RESIDENTIAL TAX EXEMPTION.
01:53:02:00	01:53:03:00	HISTORICALLY THE CITY HAS
01:53:03:00	01:53:06:00	APPROVED A BREAKDOWN THAT PUTS
01:53:06:00	01:53:07:00	THE LOWEST AMOUNT OF TAX BURDEN
01:53:07:00	01:53:10:00	ON RESIDENTIAL TAXPAYERS AND
01:53:10:00	01:53:10:00	ALLOWS THEM THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT
01:53:10:00	01:53:11:00	OF SAVINGS WITH THE RESIDENTIAL
01:53:11:00	01:53:14:00	TAX EXEMPTION WHICH IS 35%
01:53:14:00	01:53:17:00	OF THE AVERAGE ASSESSED VALUE.
01:53:17:00	01:53:18:00	THIS ORDER AIMS TO UPHOLD THAT
01:53:18:00	01:53:18:00	TRADITION.
01:53:18:00	01:53:22:00	TODAY'S FILING IS THE SAME AS

01:53:25:00	01:53:28:00	HOMEOWNER'S EXEMPTION FOR THE
01:53:28:00	01:53:29:00	YEAR AND TO SET THE RESIDENTIAL
01:53:29:00	01:53:31:00	FACTOR AT THE MINIMUM SHIFT
01:53:31:00	01:53:32:00	VERSUS THE COMMERCIAL RATE
01:53:32:00	01:53:35:00	ESSENTIALLY LIKE WITH ALL TAX
01:53:35:00	01:53:38:00	TAXES UNDER PROPOSITION TWO AND
01:53:38:00	01:53:39:00	A HALF THIS IS A MATH PROBLEM
01:53:39:00	01:53:42:00	AND THE VARIABLES EACH YEAR ARE
01:53:42:00	01:53:42:00	THE VALUATIONS AND YOU GROW THE
01:53:42:00	01:53:45:00	MATH THIS MORNING PROVIDED THE
01:53:45:00	01:53:46:00	NUMBERS THAT COMMISSIONER ERIN
01:53:46:00	01:53:49:00	GALLO WOULD TESTIFY TO NEXT
01:53:49:00	01:53:49:00	WEEK THE AVERAGE RESIDENTIAL
01:53:49:00	01:53:53:00	TAX BILL FOR A SINGLE FAMILY
01:53:53:00	01:53:58:00	HOME IS EXPECTED TO RISE 30% OR
01:53:58:00	01:53:58:00	$780.
01:53:58:00	01:53:59:00	THE AVERAGE CLASS A COMMERCIAL
01:53:59:00	01:54:01:00	TAX BILL IS EXPECTED TO
01:54:01:00	01:54:04:00	DECREASE BY 4.4% OR $210,000.
01:54:04:00	01:54:08:00	I ALSO WANT TO TAKE TIME TO

01:54:20:00	01:54:21:00	THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OPTIONS
01:54:21:00	01:54:24:00	AVAILABLE FOR THE LEGISLATOR TO
01:54:24:00	01:54:24:00	LOWER TAXES FOR OUR RESIDENTS
01:54:24:00	01:54:27:00	AND I URGE THEM TO ACT.
01:54:27:00	01:54:28:00	WE ALL KNOW THAT RESIDENTIAL
01:54:28:00	01:54:29:00	TAXES HAVE SEEN SPIKES OF MORE
01:54:29:00	01:54:34:00	THAN 7% FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW
01:54:34:00	01:54:35:00	DATING BACK TO 2018 AND IT'S
01:54:35:00	01:54:38:00	TIME TO PROTECT OUR HOMEOWNERS
01:54:38:00	01:54:38:00	AND OUR RESIDENTS.

01:56:05:00	01:56:08:00	WE KNOW THAT HOUSING
01:56:08:00	01:56:09:00	DISCRIMINATION IS RAMPANT AND

01:56:10:00	01:56:12:00	THROUGH THIS THE THE GOLD

01:56:28:00	01:56:31:00	FEDERAL STATE AND LOCAL LAWS
01:56:31:00	01:56:32:00	BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT
01:56:32:00	01:56:35:00	ADMINISTRATION WE DON'T HAVE
01:56:35:00	01:56:38:00	THIS TESTING HAPPENING WHICH
01:56:38:00	01:56:39:00	WHICH INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD
01:56:39:00	01:56:42:00	THAT OUR RESIDENTS ARE FACING
01:56:42:00	01:56:46:00	DISCRIMINATION ON ACCOUNT
01:56:46:00	01:56:50:00	OF RACE, GENDER, FAMILY STATUS
01:56:50:00	01:56:51:00	ABILITY STATUS AND IT'S A REAL
01:56:51:00	01:56:54:00	BIG CAUSE FOR CONCERN ON THIS
01:56:54:00	01:56:55:00	COUNCIL.
01:56:55:00	01:56:57:00	WE'VE HAD HEARINGS ON
01:56:57:00	01:56:58:00	DISCRIMINATION WITH RESPECT TO

01:57:02:00	01:57:03:00	VOUCHERS HOLDERS AND I THINK
01:57:03:00	01:57:05:00	THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
01:57:05:00	01:57:06:00	MAKE SURE THAT THE OFFERS THAT
01:57:06:00	01:57:10:00	WE HAVE HERE ARE ESPECIALLY IN
01:57:10:00	01:57:13:00	THE LACK OF A STRUCTURE REALLY
01:57:13:00	01:57:14:00	RIGHT NOW AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL
01:57:14:00	01:57:14:00	TO MAKE SURE THIS TESTING IS

01:57:17:00	01:57:18:00	OF FAIR HOUSING MONTH.
01:57:18:00	01:57:21:00	WE'VE HONORED THOSE WHO ARE
01:57:21:00	01:57:21:00	DOING THE WORK.
01:57:21:00	01:57:23:00	I'VE HAD HEARINGS HERE SINCE MY
01:57:23:00	01:57:24:00	FIRST YEAR AND IT'S IMPORTANT
01:57:24:00	01:57:24:00	THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE URGENCY
01:57:24:00	01:57:27:00	OF THIS MOMENT IN ADDITION TO

01:57:43:00	01:57:44:00	HERE IN THE CITY OF BOSTON.
01:57:44:00	01:57:47:00	SO WE TALKED ABOUT THIS AND I
01:57:47:00	01:57:48:00	TOLD HIM THAT WE'VE HAD
01:57:48:00	01:57:48:00	HEARINGS IN THE PAST ABOUT IT
01:57:48:00	01:57:50:00	SO I WANT TO THANK HIM FOR
01:57:50:00	01:57:51:00	ELEVATING THE IMPORTANCE
01:57:51:00	01:57:52:00	OF THIS ISSUE RIGHT NOW AND THE
01:57:52:00	01:57:54:00	URGENCY OF THIS ISSUE RIGHT
01:57:54:00	01:57:54:00	NOW.
01:57:54:00	01:57:55:00	WE DON'T HAVE A DIRECTOR
01:57:55:00	01:57:56:00	OF FAIR HOUSING HERE IN THIS
01:57:56:00	01:57:58:00	CITY.
01:57:58:00	01:57:59:00	THE WORK MUST CONTINUE AND IT'S
01:57:59:00	01:57:59:00	INCUMBENT UPON US TO MAKE SURE
01:57:59:00	01:58:01:00	THAT THAT HAPPENS.
01:58:01:00	01:58:02:00	SO I LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING
01:58:02:00	01:58:05:00	THIS HEARING AND SEEING HOW WE
01:58:05:00	01:58:06:00	CAN SUPPORT THE CITY IN MAKING
01:58:06:00	01:58:06:00	SURE THAT ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS
01:58:06:00	01:58:09:00	IT'S ALREADY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR
01:58:09:00	01:58:13:00	MOST OF OUR RESIDENTS TO EITHER
01:58:13:00	01:58:13:00	RENT A PLACE TO LIVE OR
01:58:13:00	01:58:14:00	PURCHASE A PLACE TO LIVE.
01:58:14:00	01:58:17:00	WE SHOULD NOT ADD THE BARRIER
01:58:17:00	01:58:18:00	OF DISCRIMINATION ON TOP
01:58:18:00	01:58:18:00	OF THAT WHICH IS WHAT'S
01:58:18:00	01:58:21:00	HAPPENING WHEN WE DON'T HAVE
01:58:21:00	01:58:21:00	FAIR HOUSING TESTING TO REALLY
01:58:21:00	01:58:21:00	ROOT IT OUT.

01:58:24:00	01:58:25:00	FOR US TO CONTINUE TO HAVE AND
01:58:25:00	01:58:28:00	AS WE LOOK AT THE NEXT BUDGET

02:00:17:00	02:00:18:00	PRESIDENT FOR BRINGING THIS
02:00:18:00	02:00:21:00	CONVERSATION BACK FORWARD.
02:00:21:00	02:00:22:00	I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE
02:00:22:00	02:00:25:00	TREATED WITH MORE URGENCY,
02:00:25:00	02:00:26:00	ESPECIALLY AT THE TIMES THAT
02:00:26:00	02:00:26:00	WE'RE LIVING IN RIGHT NOW.
02:00:26:00	02:00:29:00	HOUSING IS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT
02:00:29:00	02:00:29:00	BUT IN BOSTON LARGE PARTS
02:00:29:00	02:00:30:00	OF OUR COMMUNITY ARE DENIED
02:00:30:00	02:00:32:00	ACCESS TO HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES
02:00:32:00	02:00:33:00	AND NEIGHBORHOOD CHOICE FOR
02:00:33:00	02:00:36:00	THESE COMMUNITY MEMBERS
02:00:36:00	02:00:37:00	ESPECIALLY OF BLACK AND BROWN
02:00:37:00	02:00:38:00	AND LOW INCOME NEIGHBORHOOD
02:00:38:00	02:00:41:00	NEIGHBORS, HOUSING IS A FREEDOM
02:00:41:00	02:00:41:00	THAT IS RESTRICTED.
02:00:41:00	02:00:44:00	THE DIFFICULT TRUTH IS THAT
02:00:44:00	02:00:45:00	DISCRIMINATION WIDESPREAD
02:00:45:00	02:00:45:00	REGARDLESS OF CITY, STATE AND
02:00:45:00	02:00:49:00	FEDERAL LAW WHETHER IT BE
02:00:49:00	02:00:49:00	FIGHTING AGAINST THE HIGHER

02:01:00:00	02:01:03:00	FOR VOUCHER USERS.
02:01:03:00	02:01:04:00	OUR CITY CAN DO MORE TO PROTECT
02:01:04:00	02:01:08:00	THE HOUSING THE RIGHT TO
02:01:08:00	02:01:11:00	HOUSING AND IT HAS TO HOUSING A
02:01:11:00	02:01:11:00	DEEPLY INTERSECTIONAL ISSUE FOR
02:01:11:00	02:01:14:00	BLACK AND BROWN BOSTONIANS FOR

02:01:27:00	02:01:29:00	THEY USE THESE PRACTICES.
02:01:29:00	02:01:30:00	OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE DEEP
02:01:30:00	02:01:33:00	CONCERNS ABOUT EQUITY IN OUR

02:02:58:00	02:02:58:00	TIME SINCE PROBABLY COVID
02:02:58:00	02:03:03:00	AROUND THE BARRIERS TO THE
02:03:03:00	02:03:03:00	BUREAUCRATIC BARRIERS IN THE
02:03:03:00	02:03:06:00	SYSTEM THAT MAKE IT REALLY,
02:03:06:00	02:03:07:00	REALLY DIFFICULT WHEN SOMEONE

02:03:48:00	02:03:51:00	APPLICATIONS QUICKLY AND

02:03:52:00	02:03:55:00	PRIVATE MARKET WHO TURN UP AND
02:03:55:00	02:03:56:00	AND MOVE IT ALONG FASTER.

02:04:09:00	02:04:13:00	INCOME AND THE COST OF MARKET
02:04:13:00	02:04:13:00	RATE HOUSING.

02:13:47:00	02:13:50:00	ESTABLISHMENTS ACROSS THE CITY
02:13:50:00	02:13:50:00	OF BOSTON.
02:13:50:00	02:13:51:00	AND WE'VE PARTNERED WITH MANY
02:13:51:00	02:13:54:00	STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDING THE
02:13:54:00	02:13:54:00	BOSTON AREA RAPE CRISIS CENTER.
02:13:54:00	02:13:55:00	I SHARE THAT WORK AT THE STATE
02:13:55:00	02:13:57:00	HOUSE THIS JUNE TESTIFYING IN
02:13:57:00	02:13:58:00	SUPPORT OF A STATEWIDE
02:13:58:00	02:14:00:00	LEGISLATION THAT ESTABLISHES
02:14:00:00	02:14:01:00	STANDARDIZED TESTING IN
02:14:01:00	02:14:02:00	HOSPITALS WHEN YOU KNOW IT
02:14:02:00	02:14:04:00	SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS.
02:14:04:00	02:14:05:00	UNFORTUNATELY IT'S AN
02:14:05:00	02:14:05:00	UNFORTUNATE EVENT.
02:14:05:00	02:14:08:00	MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL THE
02:14:08:00	02:14:08:00	SURVIVORS WHEN THEY GO TO A
02:14:08:00	02:14:12:00	NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH CENTER OR
02:14:12:00	02:14:13:00	HOSPITAL SOMETIMES THEY DON'T
02:14:13:00	02:14:15:00	HAVE NURSES ON STAFF THAT ARE
02:14:15:00	02:14:16:00	TRAINED TO HANDLE THESE SORT
02:14:16:00	02:14:20:00	OF CASES AND SO PEOPLE HAVE TO
02:14:20:00	02:14:21:00	SIT IN THIS FOR HOURS AT A TIME
02:14:21:00	02:14:23:00	AND IT IS TRULY UNDIGNIFIED.
02:14:23:00	02:14:24:00	SO THE STATEWIDE LEGISLATION
02:14:24:00	02:14:27:00	WOULD WOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT
02:14:27:00	02:14:27:00	AND MITIGATE THE ISSUE.
02:14:27:00	02:14:28:00	AND SO THIS TODAY'S RESOLUTION
02:14:28:00	02:14:31:00	ASIDE ALIGNS WITH THAT ADVOCACY
02:14:31:00	02:14:34:00	DRINK SPIKING IS NOT A PUBLIC
02:14:34:00	02:14:35:00	HEALTH CONCERN.
02:14:35:00	02:14:35:00	IT IS TIED TO SEXUAL VIOLENCE
02:14:35:00	02:14:38:00	AND PREDATORY BEHAVIOR AND BY
02:14:38:00	02:14:39:00	SUPPORTING THIS RESOLUTION WE
02:14:39:00	02:14:42:00	ENFORCE A BASIC EXPECTATION
02:14:42:00	02:14:42:00	THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
02:14:42:00	02:14:45:00	ENJOY A NIGHT OUT IN THE CITY
02:14:45:00	02:14:46:00	WITHOUT FEAR THAT THEIR DRINK
02:14:46:00	02:14:46:00	WILL BE TAMPERED WITH AND
02:14:46:00	02:14:49:00	EVERYONE DESERVES TO GO OUT AND
02:14:49:00	02:14:50:00	LIVE THEIR LIFE AUTHENTICALLY
02:14:50:00	02:14:50:00	AND FREE AND HAVE FUN.
02:14:50:00	02:14:53:00	AND SO AGAIN I WANT TO THANK
02:14:53:00	02:14:54:00	THE MAKER AND ASK MY COLLEAGUES

02:15:05:00	02:15:05:00	FOR YOUR CONTINUED ADVOCACY ON
02:15:05:00	02:15:05:00	THIS ISSUE.
02:15:05:00	02:15:09:00	AS SOMEONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED
02:15:09:00	02:15:09:00	A DRINK SPIKING ACTUALLY RIGHT
02:15:09:00	02:15:12:00	OUTSIDE OF THE CITY OF BOSTON,
02:15:12:00	02:15:13:00	I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO NOT
02:15:13:00	02:15:17:00	REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO AND I
02:15:17:00	02:15:20:00	KNOW WHAT I ENDED UP DOING WAS
02:15:20:00	02:15:21:00	CALLING A POISON CONTROL
02:15:21:00	02:15:24:00	HOTLINE THE NEXT DAY AND JUST
02:15:24:00	02:15:27:00	ASKED TO ASK IF THE SYMPTOMS
02:15:27:00	02:15:28:00	THAT I EXPERIENCED WERE THAT
02:15:28:00	02:15:31:00	AND I THINK A LOT OF FOLKS IN
02:15:31:00	02:15:32:00	MY DISTRICT HAVE HAD THE
02:15:32:00	02:15:34:00	EXPERIENCE OF TRYING TO GET
02:15:34:00	02:15:38:00	TESTED FOR FOUR BECAUSE THEY
02:15:38:00	02:15:39:00	WERE THEY BELIEVE THEIR DRINK
02:15:39:00	02:15:42:00	WAS SPIKED AND FINDING NO WHERE
02:15:42:00	02:15:43:00	TO HAVE THAT TESTING DONE.
02:15:43:00	02:15:46:00	SO I REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE
02:15:46:00	02:15:47:00	THAT ANY CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE
02:15:47:00	02:15:50:00	ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE
02:15:50:00	02:15:50:00	WE'RE INCLUDING HOSPITALS
02:15:50:00	02:15:53:00	BECAUSE THAT'S OFTEN THE FIRST
02:15:53:00	02:15:53:00	PLACE THAT PEOPLE GO.
