00:22:36:00	00:22:42:00	LIKE THE PANDEMIC THAT SO
00:22:42:00	00:22:45:00	HEALTH AND SAFETY ARE HALLMARKS
00:22:45:00	00:22:46:00	OF THIS BUDGET TO TO MAINTAIN
00:22:46:00	00:22:48:00	AND SUPPORT THOSE WE ALSO HAVE
00:22:48:00	00:22:49:00	FIXED COSTS.
00:22:49:00	00:22:52:00	THESE ARE THESE ARE PART OF OUR
00:22:52:00	00:22:52:00	TRIPLE-A RATING IS OUR

00:23:04:00	00:23:05:00	SERVICE THAT CONTRIBUTES TO OUR
00:23:05:00	00:23:07:00	CAPITAL PLAN VERY IMPORTANT
00:23:07:00	00:23:08:00	PART.
00:23:08:00	00:23:08:00	AND THEN THE COLLECTIVE
00:23:08:00	00:23:11:00	BARGAINING TO SERVE ANOTHER
00:23:11:00	00:23:12:00	ANOTHER KEY PRIORITY.
00:23:12:00	00:23:15:00	IT SUPPORTS OUR CITIES
00:23:15:00	00:23:16:00	IMPORTANT ASSET OF EMPLOYEES TO
00:23:16:00	00:23:19:00	HAVE FAIR WAGES GOING FORWARD.
00:23:19:00	00:23:21:00	I WILL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT
00:23:21:00	00:23:23:00	SLIDE WHICH WENT THE WRONG
00:23:23:00	00:23:24:00	DIRECTION.
00:23:24:00	00:23:28:00	SO THIS IS A ANOTHER TABLE AREA
00:23:28:00	00:23:29:00	YOU KNOW, PUTS IN ANOTHER YEAR
00:23:29:00	00:23:31:00	FOR COMPARATIVE PURPOSES.
00:23:31:00	00:23:32:00	SO ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE
00:23:32:00	00:23:35:00	PRESENTATION IS APPROPRIATIONS.
00:23:35:00	00:23:37:00	THOSE ARE THE DOCKETS THAT ARE
00:23:37:00	00:23:39:00	BEFORE YOU TODAY IN DIFFERENT
00:23:39:00	00:23:39:00	DIFFERENT SEQUENCING.
00:23:39:00	00:23:42:00	BUT THIS IS THE SUMMARY
00:23:42:00	00:23:43:00	OF THOSE I'D LIKE YOU TO POINT
00:23:43:00	00:23:46:00	TO THE GROWTH IN COLLECTIVE
00:23:46:00	00:23:47:00	BARGAINING THAT THAT ONE
00:23:47:00	00:23:47:00	HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE
00:23:47:00	00:23:50:00	PERCENT IS IS US MOVING FORWARD
00:23:50:00	00:23:51:00	INTO SUPPORTING CONTRACTS GOING
00:23:51:00	00:23:53:00	FORWARD.
00:23:53:00	00:23:54:00	THE SCHOOL PUBLIC SCHOOLS
00:23:54:00	00:23:58:00	BUDGET IS BEING APPROVED BY
00:23:58:00	00:23:58:00	SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
00:23:58:00	00:24:01:00	IT IS BEFORE THIS BODY NOW TO
00:24:01:00	00:24:02:00	TO APPROVE AS WELL AND THEN THE
00:24:02:00	00:24:06:00	OTHER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE
00:24:06:00	00:24:08:00	OF THIS OF THE SLIDE IS FIXED
00:24:08:00	00:24:09:00	COST.
00:24:09:00	00:24:10:00	SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE LONG
00:24:10:00	00:24:13:00	TERM COMMITMENTS THAT WE NEED
00:24:13:00	00:24:14:00	TO HONOR TO BE SORT OF A
00:24:14:00	00:24:17:00	FISCALLY PRUDENT ENTITY ALSO IN
00:24:17:00	00:24:17:00	THIS ARRAY CHARTER SCHOOL
00:24:17:00	00:24:21:00	TUITION IS CALLED OUT BECAUSE
00:24:21:00	00:24:22:00	THAT IS AN ASSESSMENT FROM THE
00:24:22:00	00:24:24:00	COMMONWEALTH.
00:24:24:00	00:24:25:00	ALL OF THE CHARTER SCHOOLS THAT
00:24:25:00	00:24:28:00	ARE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, STUDENTS
00:24:28:00	00:24:29:00	THAT GO TO CHARTER SCHOOLS IN
00:24:29:00	00:24:32:00	THE CITY, WE ARE ASSESSED FOR
00:24:32:00	00:24:33:00	THAT COST AND THEN THE MTA
00:24:33:00	00:24:36:00	OBVIOUSLY IS THAT IS A FIXED
00:24:36:00	00:24:37:00	COST THAT WE GET ASSESSED.
00:24:37:00	00:24:40:00	SO WE'LL GO ON TO THE NEXT
00:24:40:00	00:24:44:00	SLIDE.
00:24:44:00	00:24:45:00	SO THIS IS JUST SORT OF HIGH
00:24:45:00	00:24:45:00	LEVEL.
00:24:45:00	00:24:47:00	YOU KNOW, IF TAKEAWAYS FOR
00:24:47:00	00:24:51:00	BUDGET GROWTH ITEMS SO YOU'VE
00:24:51:00	00:24:51:00	GOT YOUR FAIR WAGES.
00:24:51:00	00:24:52:00	SO THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
00:24:52:00	00:24:55:00	FOR FAIR WAGES AND RETENTION
00:24:55:00	00:24:56:00	OF CITY EMPLOYEES THERE WAS
00:24:56:00	00:24:56:00	LOTS OF TALK OF FILLING VACANT
00:24:56:00	00:24:59:00	POSITIONS FOR THE LAST YEAR OR
00:24:59:00	00:25:00:00	SO.
00:25:00:00	00:25:01:00	SOME OF THAT CAME OUT OF THE
00:25:01:00	00:25:03:00	PANDEMIC FOR POSITIONS THAT
00:25:03:00	00:25:04:00	HAVE BEEN LEFT, YOU KNOW, NOT
00:25:04:00	00:25:04:00	THROUGH THE PRIORITIES WERE
00:25:04:00	00:25:07:00	FILLING THOSE VACANCIES BUT NOW
00:25:07:00	00:25:10:00	IT IS THE SECOND ITEM SORT
00:25:10:00	00:25:11:00	OF THE THE CORE CITY AND PUBLIC
00:25:11:00	00:25:14:00	HEALTH APPROPRIATION AND IT'S
00:25:14:00	00:25:17:00	THAT FOUNDATIONAL SUPPORT FOR
00:25:17:00	00:25:18:00	GETTING FOCUSING ON THE CORE
00:25:18:00	00:25:22:00	DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITY
00:25:22:00	00:25:23:00	OF THE CITY AND WHAT'S SO
00:25:23:00	00:25:26:00	FOUNDATIONAL SUPPORT FILLING IN
00:25:26:00	00:25:27:00	GAPS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED AND
00:25:27:00	00:25:28:00	WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT HOW THE
00:25:28:00	00:25:30:00	PROCESS WAS HANDLED A LITTLE
00:25:30:00	00:25:31:00	DIFFERENTLY AS WE GET FURTHER
00:25:31:00	00:25:34:00	STRIDES IN THEIR STRATEGIC
00:25:34:00	00:25:35:00	INVESTMENTS TO TO TO TO MAKE TO
00:25:35:00	00:25:38:00	INFORM OUTCOMES AND TO TO
00:25:38:00	00:25:41:00	SUPPORT CHANGES IN HOW WE WANT
00:25:41:00	00:25:42:00	TO IMPROVE THE CITY.
00:25:42:00	00:25:45:00	AND THIS IS IN THE GOALS ARE TO
00:25:45:00	00:25:46:00	MAKE THIS A MORE EQUITABLE,
00:25:46:00	00:25:47:00	VIBRANT, HEALTHY AND RESILIENT
00:25:47:00	00:25:49:00	CITY.
00:25:49:00	00:25:53:00	AND THEN AS WE JUST SHOWN
00:25:53:00	00:25:54:00	DISPLAYED IN THE TABLE SIX
00:25:54:00	00:25:56:00	DOLLARS MILLION FOR THE BOSTON
00:25:56:00	00:25:57:00	PUBLIC SCHOOLS, YOU KNOW, OUR
00:25:57:00	00:26:01:00	YOUNG PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE
00:26:01:00	00:26:01:00	BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS
00:26:01:00	00:26:04:00	ARE A CRITICAL ASSET FOR THE
00:26:04:00	00:26:05:00	FUTURE OF THE CITY.
00:26:05:00	00:26:08:00	WE YOU KNOW, WE EXPECT THEM TO
00:26:08:00	00:26:09:00	SIT IN ROLES AND BE LEADERSHIP
00:26:09:00	00:26:12:00	IN THIS IN THIS CHAMBER IN THE
00:26:12:00	00:26:13:00	CITY GOVERNMENT GOING FORWARD
00:26:13:00	00:26:13:00	AND HAVING THAT INVESTMENT TO
00:26:13:00	00:26:16:00	SUPPORT THAT THE SCHOOLS IS
00:26:16:00	00:26:16:00	CRITICALLY IMPORTANT AND THEN
00:26:16:00	00:26:20:00	FIXED AS ITEMIZED IN THE
00:26:20:00	00:26:20:00	PREVIOUS SLIDE ON THE RIGHT
00:26:20:00	00:26:24:00	SIDE IS IT MAINTAINS THE
00:26:24:00	00:26:27:00	FINANCIAL STABILITY MEETS OUR
00:26:27:00	00:26:28:00	COMMITMENTS AND SUPPORTS THE
00:26:28:00	00:26:30:00	EXECUTION OF CAPITAL PLAN.
00:26:30:00	00:26:34:00	AND WITH THAT I WILL GO ON TO
00:26:34:00	00:26:35:00	SO THIS THIS IS A SORT OF A
00:26:35:00	00:26:39:00	VISUAL FOLKS HAVE SEEN BEFORE
00:26:39:00	00:26:42:00	BUT INTRODUCED THE CIRCLE
00:26:42:00	00:26:43:00	OF ITEMS OF SORT OF THINGS THAT
00:26:43:00	00:26:46:00	WERE INTRODUCED IN THIS THIS
00:26:46:00	00:26:47:00	YEAR SORT OF THE NEW
00:26:47:00	00:26:50:00	ADMINISTRATION HAVING THE TEAM

00:26:54:00	00:26:55:00	OF A PERIOD OF OF PANDEMIC
00:26:55:00	00:27:01:00	REACTION THE THERE WAS THIS A
00:27:01:00	00:27:01:00	DIFFERENT APPROACH WITH
00:27:01:00	00:27:03:00	DEPARTMENTS.
00:27:03:00	00:27:04:00	WE ALSO CONTINUED OUR
00:27:04:00	00:27:07:00	ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS SO LAST YEAR
00:27:07:00	00:27:12:00	IN THE WINTER OF TWENTY TWO WE
00:27:12:00	00:27:15:00	HAD THE THE THE LISTENING
00:27:15:00	00:27:15:00	SESSIONS MANY OF YOU
00:27:15:00	00:27:19:00	PARTICIPATED IN THOSE SO WE
00:27:19:00	00:27:19:00	MOVED IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.
00:27:19:00	00:27:22:00	WE HAD AN EXISTING RELATIONSHIP
00:27:22:00	00:27:23:00	WITH MONIUM.
00:27:23:00	00:27:24:00	WE HAD MOVING THROUGH THE
00:27:24:00	00:27:24:00	BUDGET.
00:27:24:00	00:27:27:00	WE HAD THOSE SESSIONS THERE
00:27:27:00	00:27:28:00	WERE VIDEOS IN ENGLISH AND

00:27:31:00	00:27:31:00	BASICALLY HELPING PEOPLE
00:27:31:00	00:27:36:00	PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS.
00:27:36:00	00:27:37:00	HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO IT TO A
00:27:37:00	00:27:38:00	CITY COUNCIL HEARING HOW YOU
00:27:38:00	00:27:39:00	NAVIGATE CITY HALL?
00:27:39:00	00:27:40:00	IT WAS VERY IT WAS DONE THROUGH
00:27:40:00	00:27:44:00	A PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM AND
00:27:44:00	00:27:46:00	THEN YOU KNOW, WE IN
00:27:46:00	00:27:47:00	COLLABORATION OF THE OFFICE
00:27:47:00	00:27:51:00	OF CIVIC ORGANIZING AND AS IN
00:27:51:00	00:27:52:00	THE EQUITY CABINET WE HOSTED
00:27:52:00	00:27:54:00	WORKSHOPS WITH DIFFERENT
00:27:54:00	00:27:55:00	GROUPS.
00:27:55:00	00:27:56:00	MANY OF YOU PARTICIPATED IN
00:27:56:00	00:27:58:00	THOSE WORKSHOPS AGAIN BEFORE
00:27:58:00	00:27:59:00	THE BUDGET WAS BEING BEING
00:27:59:00	00:28:03:00	SUBMITTED BY CITY DEPARTMENTS
00:28:03:00	00:28:07:00	TO HELP THEM ENGAGE IN THERE.
00:28:07:00	00:28:08:00	AND WE ALWAYS STRESSED THAT
00:28:08:00	00:28:09:00	THERE ARE MULTIPLE
00:28:09:00	00:28:10:00	OPPORTUNITIES TO ENGAGE ELECTED
00:28:10:00	00:28:14:00	OFFICIALS.
00:28:14:00	00:28:15:00	CITY COUNCIL ARE OUR PRIMARY
00:28:15:00	00:28:18:00	SOURCE OF OF FEEDBACK ON THIS
00:28:18:00	00:28:22:00	LIAISON'S COMMUNITY MEETINGS,
00:28:22:00	00:28:25:00	ALL OF THESE FEEDBACK LOOPS YOU
00:28:25:00	00:28:26:00	KNOW THAT WE CAN CONSTRUCTIVELY
00:28:26:00	00:28:29:00	REDUNDANT LIKE THE MORE YOU
00:28:29:00	00:28:30:00	HEAR THE MORE BUT IT DOESN'T IT
00:28:30:00	00:28:33:00	DOESN'T PREVENT YOU FROM HAVING
00:28:33:00	00:28:34:00	THAT YOU NEED TO REACH OUT AND
00:28:34:00	00:28:37:00	FIND THE FOLKS THAT ARE YOU
00:28:37:00	00:28:38:00	KNOW, WHAT ARE YOU MISSING
00:28:38:00	00:28:39:00	WHOSE WHO'S DIFFER OR
00:28:39:00	00:28:41:00	PERSPECTIVE ARE WE MISSING?
00:28:41:00	00:28:42:00	SO I THINK THROUGH THROUGH OUR
00:28:42:00	00:28:45:00	ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS WE SOUGHT TO
00:28:45:00	00:28:46:00	TRY TO PUSH THAT OUT, MAKE SURE
00:28:46:00	00:28:49:00	PEOPLE ARE EQUIPPED TO TO
00:28:49:00	00:28:53:00	ENGAGE AND THEN IN JANUARY WE
00:28:53:00	00:28:54:00	HAD THESE CONVERSATIONS WE TRY
00:28:54:00	00:28:56:00	TO AVOID SORT OF HAVING LONG
00:28:56:00	00:29:00:00	MEMOS AND FORMS TO FILL OUT.
00:29:00:00	00:29:01:00	WE JUST WANTED TO HAVE A
00:29:01:00	00:29:04:00	CONVERSATION WITH DEPARTMENTS.
00:29:04:00	00:29:05:00	WE MET WITH EVERY SINGLE
00:29:05:00	00:29:08:00	DEPARTMENT IN JANUARY AND IN
00:29:08:00	00:29:09:00	PERSON AND WE WANTED TO FOCUS
00:29:09:00	00:29:13:00	ON WHAT CITY GOVERNMENT DOES
00:29:13:00	00:29:13:00	BEYOND THE FLASHY SORT OF NEW
00:29:13:00	00:29:16:00	INVESTMENTS SORT ONE OF THE
00:29:16:00	00:29:17:00	CORE DUTIES, ONE OF THE THINGS
00:29:17:00	00:29:21:00	THAT SORT MIGHT HAVE PEOPLE
00:29:21:00	00:29:21:00	STEP BACK FROM A LITTLE BIT
00:29:21:00	00:29:22:00	THAT YOU NEED TO REACQUAINT
00:29:22:00	00:29:24:00	THEMSELVES WITH BASIC CITY
00:29:24:00	00:29:27:00	SERVICES THAT YOU KNOW SO
00:29:27:00	00:29:28:00	THEY'RE NO LONGER REACTING TO
00:29:28:00	00:29:28:00	OR MANAGING AROUND THE
00:29:28:00	00:29:29:00	PANDEMIC.
00:29:29:00	00:29:31:00	WHAT ARE THE SERVICES ARE SO
00:29:31:00	00:29:32:00	IMPORTANT TO TO TO THE
00:29:32:00	00:29:35:00	RESIDENTS OF BOSTON?
00:29:35:00	00:29:37:00	AND AGAIN, WE WERE ALWAYS
00:29:37:00	00:29:40:00	CIRCLING BACK ON DID WE MISS
00:29:40:00	00:29:40:00	SOMETHING?
00:29:40:00	00:29:43:00	IS THERE ANY ANY PART OF THIS
00:29:43:00	00:29:44:00	ENGAGEMENT PROCESS THAT WE'RE
00:29:44:00	00:29:44:00	MISSING?
00:29:44:00	00:29:48:00	AND SO IT'S WITH OUR
00:29:48:00	00:29:48:00	PARTNERSHIP WITH ARNA'S AND THE
00:29:48:00	00:29:51:00	OFFICE OF CIVIC ORGANIZING
00:29:51:00	00:29:52:00	WHOSE ENTIRE MISSION IS TO GO
00:29:52:00	00:29:53:00	OUT AND ENGAGE RESIDENTS TO
00:29:53:00	00:29:55:00	PARTICIPATE WITH CITY
00:29:55:00	00:29:58:00	GOVERNMENT IN CIVIC LIFE.
00:29:58:00	00:29:59:00	AND AS WE GO THROUGH THIS
00:29:59:00	00:30:00:00	PROCESS THAT YOU KNOW, WE'RE
00:30:00:00	00:30:03:00	MOVING ON THE NEXT STAGE, I
00:30:03:00	00:30:04:00	WON'T SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON
00:30:04:00	00:30:05:00	THE OTHER MILESTONES AND MOST
00:30:05:00	00:30:08:00	OF THOSE ARE CHARTER DRIVEN
00:30:08:00	00:30:12:00	MILESTONES AND I WILL MOVE INTO
00:30:12:00	00:30:13:00	A LITTLE DEEPER DOVE ON REVENUE
00:30:13:00	00:30:21:00	SO IN TERMS OF THE YOU I THINK
00:30:21:00	00:30:21:00	IT'S BEEN SAID MANY TIMES THAT
00:30:21:00	00:30:25:00	WE HAVE HEALTHY GROWTH IN THIS
00:30:25:00	00:30:25:00	BUDGET ALMOST SEVEN PERCENT SIX

00:42:04:00	00:42:07:00	SLOWDOWN IN DEVELOPMENT
00:42:07:00	00:42:11:00	CONSTRUCTION IN AND IN THE

00:42:26:00	00:42:27:00	FINANCIAL AREA AS MUCH AS WE
00:42:27:00	00:42:29:00	SHOULD.
00:42:29:00	00:42:30:00	WHAT IMPACT WILL THAT HAVE ON
00:42:30:00	00:42:33:00	BOSTON'S BUDGET?
00:42:33:00	00:42:35:00	MAYBE NOT THIS YEAR BUT GOING
00:42:35:00	00:42:37:00	FORWARD.
00:42:37:00	00:42:41:00	THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION SO
00:42:41:00	00:42:42:00	OF COURSE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
00:42:42:00	00:42:43:00	OUR DOWNTOWN IS WE'RE PAYING
00:42:43:00	00:42:46:00	VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO IT'S
00:42:46:00	00:42:48:00	YOU KNOW, THE LIVELY THE
00:42:48:00	00:42:49:00	ACTIVITY AND VIBRANCY
00:42:49:00	00:42:53:00	OF DOWNTOWN IS REALLY CRITICAL
00:42:53:00	00:42:53:00	TO OUR ECONOMY.
00:42:53:00	00:42:56:00	AS YOU'VE SEEN, WE ARE SEEING
00:42:56:00	00:42:57:00	SOME PROMISING SIGNS AND SOME
00:42:57:00	00:43:00:00	OF OUR LOCAL RECEIPTS EXCISE
00:43:00:00	00:43:01:00	AND HOTEL.
00:43:01:00	00:43:05:00	SO THERE IS EVIDENCE TO TO SHOW
00:43:05:00	00:43:06:00	THAT WE ARE SEEING A REBOUND IN
00:43:06:00	00:43:08:00	OUR ECONOMY.
00:43:08:00	00:43:10:00	THAT BEING SAID, IF YOU IF YOU

00:43:11:00	00:43:12:00	KIND OF SEE YOU KNOW,
00:43:12:00	00:43:13:00	PARTICULARLY ON CERTAIN DAYS
00:43:13:00	00:43:16:00	IT'S QUIETER THAN IT PROBABLY
00:43:16:00	00:43:17:00	WAS BEFORE COVID THAT BEING
00:43:17:00	00:43:20:00	SAID, YOU KNOW, WE THE THE

00:43:24:00	00:43:28:00	IT IS QUITE STABLE AND IT IS
00:43:28:00	00:43:28:00	ABLE TO GROW.
00:43:28:00	00:43:31:00	SO WE DON'T EXPECT THAT
00:43:31:00	00:43:35:00	CONTINUED VACANCY WOULD CAUSE
00:43:35:00	00:43:36:00	OUR REVENUES TO FALL OFF A
00:43:36:00	00:43:37:00	CLIFF.

00:43:44:00	00:43:47:00	GROWTH AS WELL.
00:43:47:00	00:43:48:00	SO WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE THAT
00:43:48:00	00:43:51:00	THERE WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT
00:43:51:00	00:43:53:00	IMPACT ON OUR REVENUE NEXT YEAR

00:43:58:00	00:43:58:00	THOSE INDICATORS THAT WOULD
00:43:58:00	00:44:01:00	INDICATE THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM
00:44:01:00	00:44:02:00	.
00:44:02:00	00:44:03:00	BUT RIGHT NOW GIVEN BOTH SORT
00:44:03:00	00:44:04:00	OF THE THE NATURE OF THE TAX
00:44:04:00	00:44:06:00	STRUCTURE AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING
00:44:06:00	00:44:07:00	IN SOME OF OUR OTHER LOCAL
00:44:07:00	00:44:10:00	RECEIPTS, WE DON'T ANTICIPATE
00:44:10:00	00:44:11:00	THAT THERE WILL BE A MAJOR
00:44:11:00	00:44:14:00	IMPACT TO OUR REVENUE.

00:44:21:00	00:44:25:00	CONSTRUCTION FIELD AS A CITY?
00:44:25:00	00:44:26:00	WHAT TYPE OF SUPPORT ARE WE
00:44:26:00	00:44:28:00	PROVIDING THEM KNOWING THAT WE
00:44:28:00	00:44:29:00	HAVE A SLOWDOWN IN DEVELOPMENT
00:44:29:00	00:44:32:00	AND CONSTRUCTION?
00:44:32:00	00:44:36:00	WHAT IS THE CITY DOING TO
00:44:36:00	00:44:36:00	ENSURE THAT CONSTRUCTION TAKES
00:44:36:00	00:44:40:00	PLACE SO THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PAY
00:44:40:00	00:44:41:00	PAY OUR BILLS?
00:44:41:00	00:44:42:00	THAT'S AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR
00:44:42:00	00:44:44:00	ECONOMY.
00:44:44:00	00:44:48:00	GET OUR WORKERS BACK TO WORK
00:44:48:00	00:44:48:00	ENGAGING IN THE BUILDING
00:44:48:00	00:44:52:00	TRADES, PROVIDING GOOD CAREERS
00:44:52:00	00:44:53:00	AND JOBS.
00:44:53:00	00:44:56:00	BUT WHAT ARE WE DOING IN TERMS
00:44:56:00	00:44:57:00	OF WORKING WITH THE BUSINESS
00:44:57:00	00:45:00:00	COMMUNITY AND WITH LABOR TO
00:45:00:00	00:45:01:00	MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW
00:45:01:00	00:45:03:00	EXACTLY WHAT'S TAKING PLACE
00:45:03:00	00:45:03:00	NOW?
00:45:03:00	00:45:04:00	BUT WHAT ARE WE EXPECTING
00:45:04:00	00:45:09:00	OF THEM AS WE GO FORWARD IN
00:45:09:00	00:45:14:00	TERMS WHERE THE RESOURCES WE
00:45:14:00	00:45:14:00	ARE?
00:45:14:00	00:45:18:00	SO IT'S IT'S MOSTLY WITHIN THE
00:45:18:00	00:45:18:00	OFFICE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT,
00:45:18:00	00:45:21:00	THE PLANS TO CLOSE TIES TO THE
00:45:21:00	00:45:22:00	CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY AND WE'VE
00:45:22:00	00:45:24:00	COME OFF A PERIOD
00:45:24:00	00:45:25:00	OF SIGNIFICANT GROWTH SO THE
00:45:25:00	00:45:29:00	LABOR UNIONS WERE FAIRLY YOU
00:45:29:00	00:45:33:00	KNOW, THEY WERE LOOKING FOR
00:45:33:00	00:45:34:00	EMPLOYEES SO BUT THE CITY WILL
00:45:34:00	00:45:37:00	CONTINUE TO SUPPORT PROBABLY
00:45:37:00	00:45:41:00	MORE IN CHIEF IDAHO'S CABINET
00:45:41:00	00:45:45:00	AND IN THE PLANNING AND
00:45:45:00	00:45:49:00	DEVELOPMENT WILL CONTINUE TO
00:45:49:00	00:45:49:00	SUPPORT, YOU KNOW, APPROPRIATE
00:45:49:00	00:45:51:00	GROWTH.
00:45:51:00	00:45:52:00	I THINK PART OF THE CITY'S
00:45:52:00	00:45:53:00	CAPITAL PLAN SUPPORTS THAT AS
00:45:53:00	00:45:55:00	WELL.
00:45:55:00	00:45:56:00	YOU KNOW, THE CITY IS
00:45:56:00	00:45:57:00	CONTINUING TO MEET THAT MAKE
00:45:57:00	00:46:00:00	THAT COMMITMENT TO CONTINUE TO
00:46:00:00	00:46:04:00	EMPLOY LABOR TO TO EXECUTE AND
00:46:04:00	00:46:07:00	DELIVER ON THAT CAPITAL PLAN IF
00:46:07:00	00:46:11:00	WE DON'T SEE THE CONSTRUCTION
00:46:11:00	00:46:12:00	FIELDS COMING BACK AS STRONG AS
00:46:12:00	00:46:16:00	WE ANTICIPATE AND PEOPLE STILL
00:46:16:00	00:46:19:00	DON'T WORK IS STILL DON'T GO TO
00:46:19:00	00:46:19:00	THE DOWNTOWN AREA CONSISTENTLY
00:46:19:00	00:46:23:00	TO WORK IN REMOTE REMOTE
00:46:23:00	00:46:24:00	LEARNING CONTINUES TO TAKE
00:46:24:00	00:46:26:00	PLACE.
00:46:26:00	00:46:27:00	IS THERE THE LIKELIHOOD THAT
00:46:27:00	00:46:28:00	WE'RE GOING TO SEE A
00:46:28:00	00:46:31:00	SIGNIFICANT RISE IN PROPERTY
00:46:31:00	00:46:37:00	TAXES FOR RESIDENTS THAT IS
00:46:37:00	00:46:38:00	SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE ARE
00:46:38:00	00:46:38:00	WATCHING.
00:46:38:00	00:46:42:00	SO ONE OF THE THE
00:46:42:00	00:46:42:00	CLASSIFICATION IS A PROCESS BY
00:46:42:00	00:46:46:00	WHICH THE CITY
00:46:46:00	00:46:46:00	COUNCIL ALLOCATES THE TAX
00:46:46:00	00:46:50:00	BURDEN MORE HEAVILY ON THE
00:46:50:00	00:46:50:00	COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL SECTOR.
00:46:50:00	00:46:54:00	SO IF THE VALUES WERE TO
00:46:54:00	00:46:55:00	SOMEHOW BUT I THINK THERE'S AN
00:46:55:00	00:46:58:00	APPROACH TO MAINTAIN THOSE
00:46:58:00	00:46:58:00	COMMERCIAL VALUES THROUGH
00:46:58:00	00:47:02:00	INVESTMENTS IN IN YOU KNOW, IF
00:47:02:00	00:47:05:00	OFFICE SPACES IS IS IS NOT A
00:47:05:00	00:47:09:00	STRONG LAB SPACE BUT ALSO THERE
00:47:09:00	00:47:10:00	IS A PHENOMENON THAT SOME
00:47:10:00	00:47:13:00	OF THE HIGHER END OFFICE SPACE
00:47:13:00	00:47:16:00	SEEMS TO BE STILL DESIRABLE AND
00:47:16:00	00:47:20:00	WE'RE HOPING THAT ALSO THAT
00:47:20:00	00:47:21:00	MAYBE THE CITY WILL ATTRACT
00:47:21:00	00:47:24:00	OTHER TENANTS INTO OTHER OFFICE
00:47:24:00	00:47:25:00	SPACE AND THEY'RE EXPLORING I
00:47:25:00	00:47:28:00	THINK THAT CHIEF JUSTICE IN
00:47:28:00	00:47:32:00	THAT CITY CENTRAL PLANNER IN
00:47:32:00	00:47:33:00	CHIEF IDEA WILL PROBABLY SPEAK
00:47:33:00	00:47:36:00	MORE ELOQUENTLY ON THAT SUBJECT
00:47:36:00	00:47:39:00	THAN I BUT I THINK THERE ARE
00:47:39:00	00:47:39:00	EFFORTS TO TO STRATEGICALLY

00:50:15:00	00:50:16:00	THINGS WERE HAPPENING.
00:50:16:00	00:50:17:00	SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT THAT'S A
00:50:17:00	00:50:20:00	VALUE ON THE THREE POINT THREE

00:50:29:00	00:50:32:00	THAT SPECIFIC WEEKLY THE ROUND
00:50:32:00	00:50:33:00	HOUSE WILL STAY OPEN OR DO THEY

00:50:36:00	00:50:36:00	TO KEEP OPEN?
00:50:36:00	00:50:40:00	WE THINK THIS RESOURCES TO I
00:50:40:00	00:50:44:00	BELIEVE THAT THE ROUND IS
00:50:44:00	00:50:45:00	SUNSETTING AT SOME POINT BUT I
00:50:45:00	00:50:48:00	THINK THEY'RE WORKING TO FIND
00:50:48:00	00:50:49:00	REPLACEMENT HOUSING FOR THAT IN
00:50:49:00	00:50:52:00	THIS RESOURCES TO SUPPORT THAT

00:51:03:00	00:51:04:00	YOUTH CONNECT IS WONDERFUL AND
00:51:04:00	00:51:07:00	I KNOW AT AN EVENT LAST YEAR
00:51:07:00	00:51:08:00	THEY WERE HIGHLIGHTING MANY NEW
00:51:08:00	00:51:08:00	SOCIAL WORKERS THAT WERE
00:51:08:00	00:51:11:00	ASSIGNED TO DIFFERENT POLICE
00:51:11:00	00:51:12:00	STATIONS IS THE GOAL OR ARE WE
00:51:12:00	00:51:14:00	ALREADY AT ONE SOCIAL WORKER
00:51:14:00	00:51:18:00	REPORT PER POLICE STATION YET
00:51:18:00	00:51:19:00	AND IS THIS INVESTMENT TO MAKE
00:51:19:00	00:51:20:00	SURE WE CAN GET THERE?
00:51:20:00	00:51:22:00	DO YOU KNOW THIS INVESTMENT IS
00:51:22:00	00:51:23:00	TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THERE
00:51:23:00	00:51:26:00	MORE OF A FULL TIME SORT
00:51:26:00	00:51:26:00	OF YEAH.
00:51:26:00	00:51:27:00	SO IT'S NOT LIKE PART TIME OR
00:51:27:00	00:51:28:00	SHARING STATIONS.
00:51:28:00	00:51:30:00	THEY'LL BE LIKE ONE FULL TIME
00:51:30:00	00:51:30:00	ASSIGNMENT.
00:51:30:00	00:51:31:00	OK, THAT'S GREAT.
00:51:31:00	00:51:34:00	I THINK WHEN MY LAST ONE IS THE
00:51:34:00	00:51:38:00	EXPANDED TRAUMA RESPONSE BOSTON
00:51:38:00	00:51:39:00	PUBLIC HEALTH AND THEN ALSO THE
00:51:39:00	00:51:42:00	VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND SAFETY
00:51:42:00	00:51:43:00	BEECHEY DO YOU KNOW IF THAT'S
00:51:43:00	00:51:46:00	GOING TO BE IN THE FORM
00:51:46:00	00:51:47:00	OF HIRING CITY EMPLOYEES
00:51:47:00	00:51:49:00	THROUGH THE BOSTON PUBLIC
00:51:49:00	00:51:50:00	HEALTH COMMISSION OR IS THIS
00:51:50:00	00:51:51:00	GOING TO BE A CONTRACTED OUT
00:51:51:00	00:51:55:00	NONPROFIT OUTFIT THAT IS PAID
00:51:55:00	00:51:58:00	TO DO THESE SERVICES?
00:51:58:00	00:51:59:00	I BELIEVE IT'S THROUGH A THIRD
00:51:59:00	00:52:00:00	PARTY THAT'S PROVIDING THAT
00:52:00:00	00:52:02:00	SERVICE SO IT'S ANOTHER
00:52:02:00	00:52:06:00	INVESTMENT AND DO WE HAVE A
00:52:06:00	00:52:07:00	DOLLAR AMOUNT ON THE EXPANDED
00:52:07:00	00:52:10:00	TRAUMA RESPONSE CAPACITY?
00:52:10:00	00:52:14:00	DO I WANT TO SAY FIVE HUNDRED
00:52:14:00	00:52:14:00	TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
00:52:14:00	00:52:22:00	PER TO TOTAL IT'S LESS THAN ONE
00:52:22:00	00:52:24:00	POINT FIVE MILLION COMBINED IF
00:52:24:00	00:52:25:00	YOU COMBINE THE ONE YEAH.
00:52:25:00	00:52:26:00	TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND IT'S
00:52:26:00	00:52:29:00	ACTUALLY TWO FDA PROJECTS.
00:52:29:00	00:52:29:00	THERE ARE SOME PUBLIC HEALTH
00:52:29:00	00:52:32:00	EMPLOYEES BUT WHEN WE THE
00:52:32:00	00:52:33:00	BREAKDOWN IS THERE TO SEE WHERE
00:52:33:00	00:52:36:00	IT'S GOING BUT SOME WILL BE
00:52:36:00	00:52:37:00	NONPROFITS THAT ARE HIRED.

00:52:48:00	00:52:48:00	I HAD A FEW QUESTIONS.
00:52:48:00	00:52:52:00	ONE IS REALLY JUST THE AREA
00:52:52:00	00:52:52:00	OF RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION

00:53:00:00	00:53:03:00	IT'S BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO
00:53:03:00	00:53:08:00	RECRUIT AND RETAIN SOME OF THE
00:53:08:00	00:53:09:00	GREENS OF STAFF THAT ARE AT THE
00:53:09:00	00:53:09:00	LOWER END OF THE SCALE.

00:53:12:00	00:53:13:00	INCREASE PROJECT MANAGERS ETC.
00:53:13:00	00:53:16:00	AND THAT'S REALLY ENCOURAGING.
00:53:16:00	00:53:19:00	BUT WE WE DID BUDGET LAST YEAR
00:53:19:00	00:53:23:00	FOR HOCKEYS I THINK AND I DON'T
00:53:23:00	00:53:24:00	WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO RECRUIT ANY
00:53:24:00	00:53:27:00	BECAUSE WE'RE OFFERING A SALARY

00:53:28:00	00:53:28:00	DUNKIN DONUTS.
00:53:28:00	00:53:30:00	SO I REALLY WONDER ARE WE

00:55:37:00	00:55:38:00	COMES FROM TO SUPPORT A CITY
00:55:38:00	00:55:39:00	BUDGET.
00:55:39:00	00:55:40:00	TEN YEARS AGO WE WERE VERY
00:55:40:00	00:55:42:00	ALARMED WHEN IT WAS WENT UP TO
00:55:42:00	00:55:46:00	52 PERCENT.
00:55:46:00	00:55:49:00	SO I'M HEARING FROM ELDERLY
00:55:49:00	00:55:50:00	RETIRED HOMEOWNERS WHO LIVE ON
00:55:50:00	00:55:54:00	A FIXED INCOME OR MAYBE HAVE
00:55:54:00	00:55:54:00	JUST A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
00:55:54:00	00:55:55:00	WORK A PART TIME JOB AND THEY
00:55:55:00	00:55:58:00	HAVE AN INCOME OF TWENTY FIVE
00:55:58:00	00:56:02:00	THOUSAND SORT OF EIGHTEEN OR
00:56:02:00	00:56:02:00	TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND AND
00:56:02:00	00:56:05:00	THEY'RE FACING AN INCREASE
00:56:05:00	00:56:06:00	OF FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS A
00:56:06:00	00:56:07:00	QUARTER FOR THEIR FOR THEIR
00:56:07:00	00:56:10:00	REAL ESTATE TAXES WHICH YOU
00:56:10:00	00:56:11:00	KNOW, I THINK THEY'RE REALLY
00:56:11:00	00:56:13:00	UNDER DURESS AND THIS SITUATION
00:56:13:00	00:56:14:00	AND REALLY WONDER WE REALLY
00:56:14:00	00:56:15:00	NEED TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT
00:56:15:00	00:56:18:00	TRYING TO DEVELOP SOME OTHER
00:56:18:00	00:56:19:00	REVENUE STREAMS TO TO TAKE SOME
00:56:19:00	00:56:22:00	OF THE PRESSURE AND TOTALLY
00:56:22:00	00:56:23:00	UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE THE THE
00:56:23:00	00:56:26:00	RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TAX IS
00:56:26:00	00:56:27:00	MUCH LESS THAN THE COMMERCIAL
00:56:27:00	00:56:28:00	BECAUSE WE'RE REALLY AT AS LOW
00:56:28:00	00:56:30:00	AS WE CAN GO ON THAT.
00:56:30:00	00:56:32:00	BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO SORT
00:56:32:00	00:56:33:00	OF GET CREATIVE ABOUT FINDING
00:56:33:00	00:56:33:00	THE REVENUE STREAMS AND ALSO
00:56:33:00	00:56:37:00	I'M WONDERING ABOUT IN TERMS
00:56:37:00	00:56:37:00	OF OBVIOUSLY PAYMENT IN LIEU
00:56:37:00	00:56:41:00	OF TAXES IS ONE PARTICULAR
00:56:41:00	00:56:42:00	BUCKET THAT WE CAN GO TO BUT
00:56:42:00	00:56:45:00	THAT'S A VOLUNTARY PROGRAM.
00:56:45:00	00:56:46:00	I'M WONDERING ABOUT JUST HOW
00:56:46:00	00:56:49:00	ARE WE DOING IN TERMS OF FEES
00:56:49:00	00:56:50:00	AND FINES AND COLLECTIONS AND
00:56:50:00	00:56:53:00	THOSE SORT OF THINGS ARE REALLY
00:56:53:00	00:56:53:00	IS THERE MONEY ON THE TABLE IN
00:56:53:00	00:56:56:00	THAT PARTICULAR SECTOR?
00:56:56:00	00:56:57:00	SO WE HAVE NOT PUT FORWARD IN
00:56:57:00	00:57:01:00	FEE PACKAGE AS PART OF THIS
00:57:01:00	00:57:01:00	BUDGET BUT WE CONTINUALLY
00:57:01:00	00:57:05:00	REVISIT THERE WAS A LOT OF SORT
00:57:05:00	00:57:08:00	OF INTERRUPTIONS ASSOCIATED
00:57:08:00	00:57:09:00	WITH CERTAIN YOU KNOW, LIKE
00:57:09:00	00:57:12:00	PARKING FINES BUT OTHER OTHER
00:57:12:00	00:57:16:00	WE DO LOOK AT OFTEN THE
00:57:16:00	00:57:16:00	OPERATING DEPARTMENTS WILL GIVE
00:57:16:00	00:57:20:00	US FEEDBACK ON HOW THEIR FEES
00:57:20:00	00:57:23:00	ARE COMPARABLE TO OTHER
00:57:23:00	00:57:23:00	MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS.
00:57:23:00	00:57:27:00	SO WE STILL DO STRONG VERY WELL
00:57:27:00	00:57:28:00	WITH BUILDING PERMITS.
00:57:28:00	00:57:32:00	SO I THINK I THINK WE'RE
00:57:32:00	00:57:32:00	DEFINITELY OPEN TO EXPLORING
00:57:32:00	00:57:35:00	THAT BUT WE WANT TO BE CAREFUL
00:57:35:00	00:57:36:00	THAT THESE COSTS ARE ULTIMATELY
00:57:36:00	00:57:39:00	PASSED ON TO RESIDENTS AND THAT
00:57:39:00	00:57:39:00	THE COST OF COLLECTING THEM IS
00:57:39:00	00:57:42:00	WORTH THE EFFORT IS OFF.
00:57:42:00	00:57:43:00	THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS,
00:57:43:00	00:57:47:00	YOU KNOW, THE STRONG THE NINE
00:57:47:00	00:57:48:00	HUNDRED K FOR OUR SENIOR
00:57:48:00	00:57:50:00	ORIENTED BCBS PROGRAM, DOES
00:57:50:00	00:57:53:00	THAT ALSO INCLUDE THE TWO
00:57:53:00	00:57:54:00	INDEPENDENT?
00:57:54:00	00:57:55:00	THEY'RE NOT IN THE BCI IF
00:57:55:00	00:57:57:00	THEY'RE UNDER SORT STRONGLY
00:57:57:00	00:57:58:00	ORIENT HEIGHTS EAST BOSTON AND
00:57:58:00	00:58:02:00	THE VERONICA SMITH AND BRIGHTON
00:58:02:00	00:58:03:00	DO THEY ARE THEY GOING TO GET A
00:58:03:00	00:58:06:00	SLICE THIS PIE?
00:58:06:00	00:58:07:00	I THINK THIS IS IN ADDITION TO
00:58:07:00	00:58:09:00	THOSE OPERATIONAL BUDGETS THAT
00:58:09:00	00:58:10:00	SUPPORTERS DO THAT BECAUSE
00:58:10:00	00:58:13:00	PROGRAMING YOU KNOW, I THINK A
00:58:13:00	00:58:14:00	LOT OF OUR ELDERS COMING OUT
00:58:14:00	00:58:14:00	OF COVID REALLY HAD A
00:58:14:00	00:58:18:00	DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON THEIR ON
00:58:18:00	00:58:19:00	THEIR MENTAL HEALTH AND
00:58:19:00	00:58:21:00	CONNECTED CONNECTION TO THE
00:58:21:00	00:58:21:00	COMMUNITY.
00:58:21:00	00:58:22:00	SO I THINK MONEY IS WELL SPENT
00:58:22:00	00:58:24:00	IN THAT SECTOR.
00:58:24:00	00:58:25:00	THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD WAS
00:58:25:00	00:58:26:00	WITH REGARD TO PUBLIC SAFETY
00:58:26:00	00:58:29:00	REGARDING BOSTON HOUSING
00:58:29:00	00:58:30:00	AUTHORITY, WE'VE BEEN DEALING
00:58:30:00	00:58:33:00	WITH SOME INCIDENTS RECENTLY
00:58:33:00	00:58:33:00	AND WORKING WITH THE POLICE
00:58:33:00	00:58:36:00	DEPARTMENT, THE BOSTON PUBLIC
00:58:36:00	00:58:37:00	POLICE, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
00:58:37:00	00:58:38:00	ABOUT INCIDENTS OF TRUST
00:58:38:00	00:58:41:00	TRESPASSING OR HARASSMENT AT
00:58:41:00	00:58:44:00	SOME OF OUR SENIOR HOUSING AND
00:58:44:00	00:58:45:00	IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THE
00:58:45:00	00:58:46:00	BEHAVIOR REALLY DOESN'T HAVE A
00:58:46:00	00:58:49:00	WELL STAFFED SECURITY TEAM AND
00:58:49:00	00:58:53:00	THAT THEY'RE UNDER THERE.
00:58:53:00	00:58:54:00	THEY REALLY NEED TO RECRUIT
00:58:54:00	00:58:56:00	MORE PEOPLE AS THEIR MONEY IS.
00:58:56:00	00:58:57:00	IS THIS MONEY IS IS THAT BEING
00:58:57:00	00:59:00:00	ADDRESSED IN THIS BUDGET?
00:59:00:00	00:59:04:00	IT'S PART OF THAT INVESTMENT.
00:59:04:00	00:59:15:00	THE IT'LL BE THE BOSWELLS
00:59:15:00	00:59:16:00	AUTHORITY SORT OF AN
00:59:16:00	00:59:16:00	INDEPENDENT QUASI ORGANIZATION
00:59:16:00	00:59:17:00	THAT WILL BE AN AGREEMENT
00:59:17:00	00:59:17:00	BETWEEN THE SERVICE CABINET AND
00:59:17:00	00:59:18:00	THE HOUSING AUTHORITY TO TO DO
00:59:18:00	00:59:19:00	BOTH YOUTH VIOLENCE SORT
00:59:19:00	00:59:20:00	OF APPROACH THE PROPOSAL AND
00:59:20:00	00:59:24:00	AUGMENTED WITH SOME ADDITIONAL
00:59:24:00	00:59:25:00	RESOURCES FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY
00:59:25:00	00:59:27:00	UNIT THAT I LIKE FIVE
00:59:27:00	00:59:31:00	ADDITIONAL STAFFERS IN THAT

00:59:51:00	00:59:53:00	UM JUST A COUPLE OF REVENUE
00:59:53:00	00:59:53:00	QUESTIONS.
00:59:53:00	00:59:55:00	ONE IS DO WE HAVE THE NUMBERS
00:59:55:00	00:59:58:00	YET ON NEW GROWTH LIKE KIND
00:59:58:00	00:59:58:00	OF HOW WE'RE TRENDING RELATIVE
00:59:58:00	01:00:01:00	TO THE NINETY EIGHT MILLION

01:00:02:00	01:00:03:00	FOR THIS YEAR THAT WE'RE STILL
01:00:03:00	01:00:05:00	IN.
01:00:05:00	01:00:06:00	I KNOW WE ONE OF THE FINAL
01:00:06:00	01:00:07:00	NUMBERS FOR THIS YEAR BECAUSE
01:00:07:00	01:00:08:00	WE'RE STILL IN IT BUT I THINK
01:00:08:00	01:00:09:00	WE OF THE FBI TWENTY THREE TAX
01:00:09:00	01:00:10:00	RATE ON NEW GROWTH.
01:00:10:00	01:00:13:00	NO NOT SO WELL BECAUSE THE
01:00:13:00	01:00:17:00	NUMBER ON THE SLIDE IS NINETY
01:00:17:00	01:00:18:00	EIGHT BUT IT'S THE BUDGET
01:00:18:00	01:00:20:00	NUMBER NOT THE YEAH SO THE FBI
01:00:20:00	01:00:21:00	TWENTY FOUR IS AN ESTIMATE AT
01:00:21:00	01:00:24:00	THIS POINT AND WILL VALIDATED
01:00:24:00	01:00:25:00	THROUGH THE TAX RATE SETTING
01:00:25:00	01:00:28:00	PROCESS FOR FOR TWENTY FOUR BUT
01:00:28:00	01:00:29:00	I'M ASKING ABOUT TWENTY TWENTY

01:00:30:00	01:00:32:00	BUDGETED FOR SIXTY MILLION
01:00:32:00	01:00:32:00	OF NEW GROWTH IN THE NINETY
01:00:32:00	01:00:35:00	EIGHT REPRESENTS ACTUAL I
01:00:35:00	01:00:36:00	THOUGHT IT WAS SIXTY YEAH OK SO

01:00:44:00	01:00:50:00	ON THE AND THEN JUST SEE I
01:00:50:00	01:00:51:00	ALWAYS WORRY A LITTLE BIT
01:00:51:00	01:00:57:00	BECAUSE IF YOU'RE ON THE THE
01:00:57:00	01:00:58:00	YOU GUYS HAVE A CHART OF SORT
01:00:58:00	01:01:02:00	OF WHAT'S GROWING RIGHT AND I
01:01:02:00	01:01:05:00	CAN'T FIND IT NOW.
01:01:05:00	01:01:09:00	YEAH OK SO ON PAGE FIVE SO
01:01:09:00	01:01:10:00	PUBLIC HEALTH IS GOING UP SIX
01:01:10:00	01:01:14:00	POINT ONE PERCENT BUT AS YOU
01:01:14:00	01:01:16:00	NOTED THEY'VE OBVIOUSLY GOT
01:01:16:00	01:01:17:00	LIKE THE SORT OF BENEFITS
01:01:17:00	01:01:21:00	PENSION STUFF INCLUDED IN
01:01:21:00	01:01:21:00	THERE.
01:01:21:00	01:01:22:00	AND SO GIVEN THAT OUR GLOBAL
01:01:22:00	01:01:25:00	PENSIONS POOL IS GOING UP 10
01:01:25:00	01:01:25:00	PERCENT LIKE I ALWAYS WONDER IF
01:01:25:00	01:01:28:00	BECAUSE BPCI HAS ALL THESE
01:01:28:00	01:01:29:00	FIXED COSTS THAT WE BUNDLE IN
01:01:29:00	01:01:30:00	WHETHER THEY'RE GETTING ANY
01:01:30:00	01:01:32:00	REAL INCREASE TO SEE IT I'M
01:01:32:00	01:01:33:00	ASKING THAT IS ACTUALLY ONE
01:01:33:00	01:01:36:00	OF THE MAINTENANCE PROCESS THAT
01:01:36:00	01:01:36:00	WE TREAT.
01:01:36:00	01:01:39:00	WE TRY TO COVER THEM ON THOSE
01:01:39:00	01:01:40:00	PENSION AND HEALTH CARE COSTS
01:01:40:00	01:01:41:00	THAT ARE GROWING AT A DIFFERENT
01:01:41:00	01:01:43:00	PERCENTAGE.
01:01:43:00	01:01:44:00	WE RECOGNIZE THAT FACT.
01:01:44:00	01:01:47:00	SO BUT IS THE SIX POINT ONE DO
01:01:47:00	01:01:49:00	YOU HAVE A SENSE OF HOW MUCH
01:01:49:00	01:01:50:00	OF THAT GROWTH IS COVERING THEM
01:01:50:00	01:01:51:00	FOR THAT VERSUS LIKE GROWTH IN
01:01:51:00	01:01:55:00	TERMS OF ACTUAL LIKE NET NEW
01:01:55:00	01:01:55:00	STUFF FOR THEM?
01:01:55:00	01:01:56:00	LET'S I THINK WE HAVE AN
01:01:56:00	01:01:59:00	INVESTMENT NUMBER FOR THEM BUT
01:01:59:00	01:02:00:00	I CAN GET YOU THAT SPECIFIC
01:02:00:00	01:02:00:00	RESPONSE.
01:02:00:00	01:02:03:00	YEAH, I JUST THINK BECAUSE
01:02:03:00	01:02:03:00	THEY'RE BECAUSE THEY'RE
01:02:03:00	01:02:04:00	ACCOUNTED DIFFERENTLY IT'S
01:02:04:00	01:02:05:00	ACTUALLY I THINK IT'S VERY
01:02:05:00	01:02:07:00	HELPFUL FOR THE COUNCIL THAT IN
01:02:07:00	01:02:08:00	GENERAL PENSIONS AND PULLED OUT
01:02:08:00	01:02:11:00	FROM THE BUDGETS BECAUSE IT
01:02:11:00	01:02:12:00	HELPS US KNOW WHAT'S REALLY
01:02:12:00	01:02:14:00	HAPPENING BUT I FEEL LIKE WOULD
01:02:14:00	01:02:15:00	BE PHC BECAUSE IT'S BUNDLED
01:02:15:00	01:02:17:00	THERE SOMETIMES RIGHT.
01:02:17:00	01:02:21:00	GET THE SHORT END OF THE STICK
01:02:21:00	01:02:23:00	AND YEAH I THINK I MEAN MOSTLY
01:02:23:00	01:02:26:00	JUST REALLY EXCITED ABOUT A LOT
01:02:26:00	01:02:27:00	OF THESE INVESTMENTS OBVIOUSLY.
01:02:27:00	01:02:32:00	THANK YOU FOR THE MONEY FOR THE
01:02:32:00	01:02:33:00	YOU KNOW I THINK AND ALL THE

01:02:34:00	01:02:36:00	VOUCHERS IS FANTASTIC AND I
01:02:36:00	01:02:37:00	THINK YOU GUYS DIDN'T PLAN ON
01:02:37:00	01:02:40:00	IT AS MUCH BUT THE ADDITIONAL
01:02:40:00	01:02:41:00	FOCUS ON THE GREEN
01:02:41:00	01:02:41:00	INFRASTRUCTURE SIDE I THINK IS
01:02:41:00	01:02:43:00	GOING TO BE REALLY IMPORTANT.
01:02:43:00	01:02:44:00	AM I RIGHT?
01:02:44:00	01:02:45:00	I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO KIND
01:02:45:00	01:02:47:00	OF FIND IT SPECIFICALLY IN THE
01:02:47:00	01:02:48:00	BUDGET BOOK BUT THAT YOU GUYS
01:02:48:00	01:02:49:00	ARE PUTTING SOME MONEY INTO
01:02:49:00	01:02:51:00	SORT OF CONTAINERIZATION PILOT
01:02:51:00	01:02:55:00	STUFF AND SORT OF , YOU KNOW,
01:02:55:00	01:02:56:00	INNOVATION ON THE ZERO WASTE
01:02:56:00	01:02:59:00	SIDE OVER IN PUBLIC WORKS.
01:02:59:00	01:03:00:00	I'D HAVE TO CHECK ON THE STATUS
01:03:00:00	01:03:01:00	OF CONTAINERIZATION.
01:03:01:00	01:03:03:00	WHAT I KNOW THERE ARE
01:03:03:00	01:03:04:00	DEFINITELY LOTS OF DIFFERENT
01:03:04:00	01:03:04:00	EFFORTS ON ZERO WASTE.

01:03:07:00	01:03:08:00	AN UPDATE ON THAT BEFORE FRIDAY
01:03:08:00	01:03:10:00	IF POSSIBLE.
01:03:10:00	01:03:11:00	AND THEN AND IT'S GREAT TO SEE
01:03:11:00	01:03:12:00	MORE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
01:03:12:00	01:03:14:00	CAPACITY IN PARKES BECAUSE
01:03:14:00	01:03:15:00	WE'VE GOT SO MANY OF THESE
01:03:15:00	01:03:16:00	CAPITAL PROJECTS AND WE'RE
01:03:16:00	01:03:18:00	TALKING ABOUT LATER THIS
01:03:18:00	01:03:19:00	EVENING BUT THAT AREN'T MOVING
01:03:19:00	01:03:22:00	JUST BECAUSE OF CAPACITY.
01:03:22:00	01:03:26:00	SO THAT'S AWESOME AND YEAH NO I

01:03:41:00	01:03:42:00	HOW WE THINK ABOUT AND AND SORT
01:03:42:00	01:03:44:00	OF HOW WE MODEL FOR THAT.
01:03:44:00	01:03:45:00	IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT I
01:03:45:00	01:03:48:00	THINK THE PILOT PIECE THAT WE

01:03:49:00	01:03:50:00	REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF WE

01:04:23:00	01:04:24:00	WORKS PARKS MY QUESTIONS I

01:04:27:00	01:04:28:00	DOLLARS TO SUPPORT FAIR WAGES.
01:04:28:00	01:04:31:00	DO WE HAVE A PERCENTAGE OF WHAT
01:04:31:00	01:04:35:00	OF WHAT WENT TO THOSE WORKERS
01:04:35:00	01:04:35:00	THEIR THEIR GRADE LEVEL?
01:04:35:00	01:04:38:00	I WOULD JUST LIKE TO BETTER
01:04:38:00	01:04:39:00	UNDERSTAND NOW WHAT SORT
01:04:39:00	01:04:39:00	OF RAISE THAT THEY'RE GETTING.

01:07:40:00	01:07:43:00	IN THE CITY'S VOUCHER PROGRAM.

01:09:36:00	01:09:37:00	PRESENTATION.
01:09:37:00	01:09:39:00	A LOT OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE
01:09:39:00	01:09:40:00	ASKED QUESTIONS THAT I THINK
01:09:40:00	01:09:43:00	ARE REALLY ALIGNED WITH THE
01:09:43:00	01:09:46:00	QUESTIONS THAT I'VE THAT WE

01:10:02:00	01:10:03:00	BUT IT'S KIND OF A SHIFTING
01:10:03:00	01:10:06:00	DEMOGRAPHIC.
01:10:06:00	01:10:07:00	WE'VE NOW ROLLED IN THREE YEAR
01:10:07:00	01:10:09:00	OLDS TO MAKE THIS MODEL.
01:10:09:00	01:10:11:00	SO THIS THIS PROGRAM IS IS THE
01:10:11:00	01:10:13:00	THIRD PARTY PROGRAM.
01:10:13:00	01:10:17:00	SO I DON'T HAVE A FIGURE ON IT
01:10:17:00	01:10:19:00	BUT I WILL REACH OUT TO BPS
01:10:19:00	01:10:21:00	EARLY CHILDHOOD GROUPS IN OUR
01:10:21:00	01:10:22:00	EARLY CHILDHOOD TO GET YOU
01:10:22:00	01:10:24:00	BETTER ENSURE YEAH.
01:10:24:00	01:10:26:00	DO THEY CHECK CAN WE GET AN
01:10:26:00	01:10:26:00	ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION AND
01:10:26:00	01:10:29:00	MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE AN IDEA
01:10:29:00	01:10:30:00	OF THE DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT IT
01:10:30:00	01:10:32:00	WOULD COST TO ENSURE THE CANCER
01:10:32:00	01:10:33:00	GENE.
01:10:33:00	01:10:36:00	CAN YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION SO
01:10:36:00	01:10:37:00	THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL FOUR
01:10:37:00	01:10:37:00	MILLION DOLLARS IN UNIVERSAL
01:10:37:00	01:10:37:00	PRE-K?
01:10:37:00	01:10:41:00	MY QUESTION WAS HOW MUCH WOULD
01:10:41:00	01:10:42:00	IT TAKE FOR US TO GUARANTEE
01:10:42:00	01:10:44:00	UNIVERSAL PRE-K FOR ALL OF OUR
01:10:44:00	01:10:45:00	SO I THINK PART OF THE QUESTION
01:10:45:00	01:10:47:00	IS KNOWING THE NUMBER OF THREE
01:10:47:00	01:10:48:00	YEARS AND FOUR YEAR OLDS IN THE
01:10:48:00	01:10:49:00	CITY OF BOSTON.
01:10:49:00	01:10:51:00	THANK YOU.
01:10:51:00	01:10:52:00	THEN THERE'S A QUESTION ABOUT
01:10:52:00	01:10:55:00	SOME LIKE SOME OF THE BUDGET
01:10:55:00	01:10:55:00	PREDICTIONS.
01:10:55:00	01:10:56:00	SO FOR EXAMPLE, THE MAYOR'S
01:10:56:00	01:10:59:00	OFFICE OF IMMIGRANT ADVANCEMENT
01:10:59:00	01:11:00:00	, THEY USE A LOT OF THE
01:11:00:00	01:11:03:00	REQUESTS THAT THEY MAKE ARE
01:11:03:00	01:11:04:00	BASED ON THE NUMBER
01:11:04:00	01:11:06:00	OF CONSTITUENTS THAT THEY GET.
01:11:06:00	01:11:07:00	THEY'RE GOING TO BE SERVING
01:11:07:00	01:11:08:00	WELL, WONDERING IF YOUR OFFICE
01:11:08:00	01:11:11:00	HAS ANY OVERSIGHT AND WHAT THE
01:11:11:00	01:11:12:00	PREDICTIVE MODELS ARE WHEN
01:11:12:00	01:11:15:00	DEPARTMENTS SAY WE'RE GOING TO
01:11:15:00	01:11:16:00	BE SERVING THIS NUMBER OF OF
01:11:16:00	01:11:17:00	CONSTITUENTS, DO WE TAKE THAT
01:11:17:00	01:11:19:00	AT FACE VALUE?
01:11:19:00	01:11:20:00	IS THERE ANY SORT OF DIALOG OR
01:11:20:00	01:11:23:00	CONVERSATION THERE?
01:11:23:00	01:11:26:00	WELL, I THINK WE WE SEEK AS
01:11:26:00	01:11:27:00	MUCH SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION
01:11:27:00	01:11:30:00	ON, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S
01:11:30:00	01:11:34:00	POPULATIONS OR CHANGES.
01:11:34:00	01:11:38:00	SO I BELIEVE IMMIGRANT
01:11:38:00	01:11:38:00	ENHANCEMENT IS ONE OF THE
01:11:38:00	01:11:39:00	STRONGER DEPARTMENTS ON HAVING
01:11:39:00	01:11:42:00	A GOOD PULSE ON THAT
01:11:42:00	01:11:42:00	INFORMATION.
01:11:42:00	01:11:46:00	BUT IT'S IT IS IT'S NOT
01:11:46:00	01:11:50:00	CONSISTENT BUT WE USUALLY RELY
01:11:50:00	01:11:51:00	ON THOSE DEPARTMENTS TO SORT
01:11:51:00	01:11:52:00	OF SUBSTANTIATE THAT THEY NEED
01:11:52:00	01:11:58:00	OK, AND A LOT OF THESE
01:11:58:00	01:11:59:00	QUESTIONS WILL BE MORE SPECIFIC
01:11:59:00	01:12:01:00	FOR THE DEPARTMENTS ONCE THEY
01:12:01:00	01:12:02:00	GET HERE.
01:12:02:00	01:12:03:00	BUT I JUST WANT TO I BELIEVE
01:12:03:00	01:12:05:00	SEVERAL COUNCILORS I'VE SAID
01:12:05:00	01:12:06:00	THIS ALREADY AND I SAY I'VE
01:12:06:00	01:12:07:00	STATED THIS LAST YEAR IN TERMS
01:12:07:00	01:12:09:00	OF THE DIVERSIFICATION OF OUR
01:12:09:00	01:12:10:00	REVENUE STREAMS.
01:12:10:00	01:12:10:00	ARE THERE IDEAS ARE THERE
01:12:10:00	01:12:11:00	THINGS THAT WE'RE THINKING
01:12:11:00	01:12:13:00	ABOUT LIKE WHEN IT COMES TO
01:12:13:00	01:12:14:00	EITHER OPTIMIZATION OF THE
01:12:14:00	01:12:14:00	COLLECTION?
01:12:14:00	01:12:17:00	OF COURSE WHEN WE DO THIS WE
01:12:17:00	01:12:18:00	WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT
01:12:18:00	01:12:19:00	FALLING ON THE BACKS OF OUR
01:12:19:00	01:12:21:00	RESIDENTS WHO AREN'T ABLE TO
01:12:21:00	01:12:24:00	PAY AND THAT WE ARE THINKING
01:12:24:00	01:12:24:00	EQUITY WHENEVER WE'RE TALKING
01:12:24:00	01:12:25:00	ABOUT ADDITIONAL REVENUE
01:12:25:00	01:12:25:00	STREAMS.
01:12:25:00	01:12:28:00	BUT ARE THERE IDEAS ABOUT THERE
01:12:28:00	01:12:32:00	ARE OPTIMIZING OR LIKE LANDESA
01:12:32:00	01:12:32:00	OR SOMETHING THAT WE'RE
01:12:32:00	01:12:33:00	THINKING ABOUT DIFFERENTLY FROM
01:12:33:00	01:12:36:00	PROPERTY TAXES TO BUTTRESS OUR
01:12:36:00	01:12:37:00	REVENUE STREAMS WITH
01:12:37:00	01:12:40:00	UNDERSHOOTING WE'RE LIMITED IN
01:12:40:00	01:12:41:00	TERMS OF IMPOSING ADDITIONAL
01:12:41:00	01:12:42:00	TAXES WHICH OTHER CITIES ARE
01:12:42:00	01:12:44:00	OFTEN ABLE TO DO.
01:12:44:00	01:12:45:00	BUT WE COULD BE MORE CREATIVE
01:12:45:00	01:12:48:00	WITH WITH WITH WHAT WE DEFINE
01:12:48:00	01:12:49:00	AS A FEE AND AND POTENTIAL
01:12:49:00	01:12:51:00	LEANING INTO THAT A BIT MORE.
01:12:51:00	01:12:53:00	SO JUST WANT TO GET A SENSE
01:12:53:00	01:12:54:00	FROM YOU AND IF WE'RE DOING ANY
01:12:54:00	01:12:58:00	WORK IN THAT AREA IN TERMS OF I
01:12:58:00	01:13:01:00	THINK THAT'S A COMPLETELY VALID
01:13:01:00	01:13:02:00	CONCEPT.
01:13:02:00	01:13:05:00	IT'S SORT OF LIKE MAXIMIZATION
01:13:05:00	01:13:06:00	OF YOUR EXISTING TOOLS.
01:13:06:00	01:13:07:00	SO THAT IS THAT IS SOMETHING WE
01:13:07:00	01:13:09:00	REVISIT.
01:13:09:00	01:13:10:00	ARE THERE WAYS THAT WE CAN
01:13:10:00	01:13:11:00	MAXIMIZE EXISTING FEE
01:13:11:00	01:13:14:00	STRUCTURES AND TO TO CAPTURE
01:13:14:00	01:13:18:00	ALL OF THE REVENUE THAT WE CAN
01:13:18:00	01:13:21:00	PUT IN TERMS OF WE HAVE NOT PUT
01:13:21:00	01:13:22:00	FORTH ANY SORT OF NEW NEW FEES
01:13:22:00	01:13:25:00	IN HERE BUT IT IS PROBABLY
01:13:25:00	01:13:29:00	DEFINITELY A CONCERTED EFFORT
01:13:29:00	01:13:30:00	TO GO BACK AND REVISIT TO MAKE
01:13:30:00	01:13:33:00	SURE THAT WE MAXIMIZING THE
01:13:33:00	01:13:34:00	FEES THAT WE DO HAVE.
01:13:34:00	01:13:36:00	I BELIEVE CASA BRADIN MAY HAVE
01:13:36:00	01:13:37:00	ASKED THIS QUESTION BUT I'M NOT
01:13:37:00	01:13:39:00	SURE IF I FULLY HAD THE ANSWER
01:13:39:00	01:13:40:00	I MIGHT BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT.
01:13:40:00	01:13:41:00	DO WE LOOK TO OTHER CITIES TO
01:13:41:00	01:13:44:00	SEE WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN
01:13:44:00	01:13:47:00	TERMS OF FEE COLLECTION OR
01:13:47:00	01:13:48:00	BUILDING A REVENUE MODEL THAT
01:13:48:00	01:13:52:00	IS LESS DEPENDENT ON PROPERTY
01:13:52:00	01:13:52:00	TAXES?
01:13:52:00	01:13:53:00	I'M NOT SAYING THAT IT'S A GOOD
01:13:53:00	01:13:54:00	THING THAT WE HAVE THESE
01:13:54:00	01:13:56:00	PROPERTY TAXES BUT BUILDING
01:13:56:00	01:13:57:00	SYSTEMS THAT ARE WE HAVE MORE
01:13:57:00	01:13:58:00	OF A DIVERSIFICATION OF OUR
01:13:58:00	01:14:00:00	REVENUE OF OUR REVENUE SOURCES.
01:14:00:00	01:14:03:00	YEAH, I THINK WE'RE WE'RE
01:14:03:00	01:14:04:00	ALWAYS AT I THINK THAT'S ONE
01:14:04:00	01:14:07:00	OF THE CABINET EFFORT IS TO DO
01:14:07:00	01:14:10:00	MORE OF A LONG TERM FINANCIAL
01:14:10:00	01:14:11:00	ASSESSMENT OF WHERE WE
01:14:11:00	01:14:14:00	POSITIONED OURSELVES LONGER
01:14:14:00	01:14:14:00	TERM BUT BENCHMARKING OURSELVES
01:14:14:00	01:14:18:00	AGAINST OTHER CITIES WE DON'T
01:14:18:00	01:14:18:00	YOU KNOW, BEING IN
01:14:18:00	01:14:19:00	MASSACHUSETTS MUNICIPALITIES
01:14:19:00	01:14:22:00	HAVE FAIRLY CONTROLLED BY THE
01:14:22:00	01:14:26:00	BY THE COMMONWEALTH AND RIGHT
01:14:26:00	01:14:27:00	DOWN TO OUR TAX RATE NEEDS TO
01:14:27:00	01:14:29:00	BE APPROVED BY THE DEPARTMENT
01:14:29:00	01:14:31:00	OF REVENUE AND YOUR ABILITY TO
01:14:31:00	01:14:34:00	LIKE TO CREATE NEW TAXES HAS TO
01:14:34:00	01:14:35:00	GO THROUGH.
01:14:35:00	01:14:37:00	YES, I'M NOT SAYING I'M NOT
01:14:37:00	01:14:38:00	SURE AND I'M NEVER SUGGESTING
01:14:38:00	01:14:41:00	THAT WE BENCHMARK OURSELVES FOR
01:14:41:00	01:14:42:00	OTHER CITIES BUT I JUST DO
01:14:42:00	01:14:42:00	THINK THAT THE IDEA
01:14:42:00	01:14:45:00	OF EXPLORATION IS GOOD.
01:14:45:00	01:14:46:00	IS THAT MY TIME MANAGER?

01:14:53:00	01:14:54:00	RATING WE HAVE TO USE OUR
01:14:54:00	01:14:56:00	FISCAL STRENGTH SO EXCITED TO

01:15:08:00	01:15:09:00	WHERE DOES THAT SIT?
01:15:09:00	01:15:10:00	HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

01:21:24:00	01:21:25:00	STILL MONEY THAT COULD HAVE

01:21:37:00	01:21:38:00	I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS.
01:21:38:00	01:21:39:00	SOME OF MY QUESTIONS HAVE
01:21:39:00	01:21:40:00	ALREADY BEEN ASKED BY MY
01:21:40:00	01:21:41:00	COLLEAGUES AND I KNOW SOME
01:21:41:00	01:21:42:00	OF THESE QUESTIONS ARE SPECIFIC
01:21:42:00	01:21:44:00	TO EACH DEPARTMENT.
01:21:44:00	01:21:45:00	BUT ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE

01:22:07:00	01:22:08:00	BUT WE WILL AS PART OF THE RFA
01:22:08:00	01:22:11:00	THAT THE CHAIR HAS ASKED

01:22:22:00	01:22:23:00	OF WANT TO GET AN IDEA OF WHERE
01:22:23:00	01:22:26:00	WE AT NOW COMPARED TO PRECLUDE
01:22:26:00	01:22:30:00	IT AND ONE OF MY FINAL QUESTION
01:22:30:00	01:22:34:00	WHEN YOU GET THAT ANSWER IS TO
01:22:34:00	01:22:35:00	SENIOR ORIENTED PROGRAM DOES
01:22:35:00	01:22:37:00	THIS INCLUDE TRANSPORTATION?
01:22:37:00	01:22:39:00	BECAUSE I HEAR SO MUCH THAT WE
01:22:39:00	01:22:40:00	DO HAVE SOME PROGRAM IN
01:22:40:00	01:22:41:00	PROGRAMING THAT SOMETIMES YOU
01:22:41:00	01:22:44:00	KNOW, OUR SENIORS LIVE FAR AWAY
01:22:44:00	01:22:45:00	FROM THE CENTER.
01:22:45:00	01:22:46:00	SO DO YOU KNOW IF THAT INCLUDES
01:22:46:00	01:22:48:00	TRANSPORTATION?

01:22:55:00	01:22:56:00	OF TRANSPORTATION FOR EACH
01:22:56:00	01:22:57:00	STRONG IN THEIR PROGRAMING.

01:23:04:00	01:23:04:00	WITH IT.
01:23:04:00	01:23:04:00	ALL RIGHT.
01:23:04:00	01:23:08:00	AND THEN THE COVID LEVEL FOCUS
01:23:08:00	01:23:09:00	I THINK ON THE EXERCISE WE'RE
01:23:09:00	01:23:12:00	FINALLY COMING BACK FROM THE
01:23:12:00	01:23:13:00	PEAK OF IT WHICH WE WOULD
01:23:13:00	01:23:16:00	CONSIDER AT 19 IS SORT OF A
01:23:16:00	01:23:20:00	PURE PEAK OVER WE WE CAN FOLLOW

01:23:35:00	01:23:36:00	MILLION.
01:23:36:00	01:23:38:00	SO PRETTY SIGNIFICANT REBOUND.
01:23:38:00	01:23:40:00	BUT I'M SURE IF YOU LOOK BACK
01:23:40:00	01:23:43:00	TO A FEW MORE YEARS BACK I

01:24:50:00	01:24:51:00	WHEN WE'RE THINKING ABOUT
01:24:51:00	01:24:53:00	LITERACY.
01:24:53:00	01:24:54:00	SO CAN YOU JUST CONFIRM FOR ME
01:24:54:00	01:24:54:00	WHEN YOU'RE SAYING INVESTMENTS
01:24:54:00	01:24:56:00	AND THREE POINT FIVE MILLION
01:24:56:00	01:24:57:00	HOW MUCH OF THAT IS GOING
01:24:57:00	01:25:00:00	TOWARDS INTERGENERATIONAL
01:25:00:00	01:25:00:00	LITERACY EFFORTS?
01:25:00:00	01:25:01:00	IT IS A BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS
01:25:01:00	01:25:04:00	INVESTMENT WHO IT'S GOING TO BE
01:25:04:00	01:25:05:00	FOCUSED AROUND THE STUDENTS.
01:25:05:00	01:25:08:00	THERE MAY BE A PARENT COMPONENT
01:25:08:00	01:25:09:00	OF THAT THAT WILL HAVE AN ADULT
01:25:09:00	01:25:12:00	LITERACY COMPONENT TO IT BUT
01:25:12:00	01:25:13:00	IT'S GEARED TOWARDS THE
01:25:13:00	01:25:16:00	STUDENTS RIGHT.
01:25:16:00	01:25:17:00	SO THEN SO IF I'M HEARING YOU
01:25:17:00	01:25:18:00	CORRECTLY, THERE'S NOT GOING TO
01:25:18:00	01:25:20:00	BE ANY FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS
01:25:20:00	01:25:20:00	MADE FOR RETURNING CITIZENS OR
01:25:20:00	01:25:24:00	ARE THOSE WHO HAVE INTERRUPTED
01:25:24:00	01:25:25:00	EDUCATION JUST INTERRUPTED
01:25:25:00	01:25:28:00	EDUCATION FOR IMMIGRANTS LIKE
01:25:28:00	01:25:29:00	RECENT ARRIVALS?
01:25:29:00	01:25:29:00	RIGHT, EXACTLY.
01:25:29:00	01:25:32:00	FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE HAD
01:25:32:00	01:25:35:00	INTERRUPTED EDUCATION THAT'S
01:25:35:00	01:25:36:00	REFERRED TO THE TERM OF LIFE
01:25:36:00	01:25:39:00	WITHOUT THE NEED TO CASH FOLKS
01:25:39:00	01:25:40:00	UP WHO HAVE NOT YET BEEN IN
01:25:40:00	01:25:40:00	SCHOOL.
01:25:40:00	01:25:41:00	SO FOR THOSE WHO ARE LISTENING
01:25:41:00	01:25:43:00	BECAUSE THEY ALL ARE THE
01:25:43:00	01:25:44:00	DEPARTMENTS ARE LISTENING,
01:25:44:00	01:25:47:00	CHANTELLE INCLUDED AND NEIL, I
01:25:47:00	01:25:48:00	JUST WANT TO NOTE FOR THE
01:25:48:00	01:25:49:00	RECORD THAT WHEN I THINK ABOUT
01:25:49:00	01:25:52:00	LITERACY HERE IN THE CITY
01:25:52:00	01:25:52:00	OF BOSTON, THE LAST TIME THERE
01:25:52:00	01:25:55:00	WAS A STUDY DONE WAS TWENTY TWO
01:25:55:00	01:25:56:00	THOUSAND AND THREE.
01:25:56:00	01:25:59:00	SO WE'RE LONG OVERDUE TO REALLY
01:25:59:00	01:26:00:00	ASSESS THE LITERACY RATES HERE
01:26:00:00	01:26:01:00	IN THE CITY OF BOSTON AND I
01:26:01:00	01:26:03:00	THINK THAT AN INVESTMENT IS
01:26:03:00	01:26:04:00	REALLY GETTING SOME GROUNDING
01:26:04:00	01:26:07:00	ON THAT WITH A SPECIAL INTEREST
01:26:07:00	01:26:08:00	IN OUR RETURNING CITIZENS I
01:26:08:00	01:26:11:00	THINK IS WORTH LOOKING INTO.
01:26:11:00	01:26:12:00	I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE
01:26:12:00	01:26:15:00	INCLUSIVE EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES
01:26:15:00	01:26:15:00	.
01:26:15:00	01:26:16:00	YOU KNOW, OVER THE LAST YEAR OR
01:26:16:00	01:26:19:00	TWO OR SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THE
01:26:19:00	01:26:20:00	COUNCIL WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR
01:26:20:00	01:26:20:00	EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
01:26:20:00	01:26:22:00	INVESTMENTS, LEARN TO EARN AND
01:26:22:00	01:26:23:00	I'M JUST CURIOUS WHEN WE'RE
01:26:23:00	01:26:24:00	TALKING ABOUT INCLUSIVE
01:26:24:00	01:26:26:00	EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES, WHAT
01:26:26:00	01:26:27:00	DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?
01:26:27:00	01:26:30:00	YEAH, IT'S I THINK IT'S
01:26:30:00	01:26:31:00	BASICALLY APPROACHING THE WAY
01:26:31:00	01:26:34:00	THEY HAVE STUDENTS SO THEY THEY
01:26:34:00	01:26:37:00	INSTEAD OF STUDENTS NECESSARILY
01:26:37:00	01:26:41:00	GETTING AN IEP MOVING INTO LIKE
01:26:41:00	01:26:42:00	OH SO IT'S IT'S NOT IT'S
01:26:42:00	01:26:45:00	INCLUSION NOT INCLUSIVE.
01:26:45:00	01:26:49:00	OK ALL RIGHT WELL THEN THANK
01:26:49:00	01:26:50:00	FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.
01:26:50:00	01:26:51:00	WHILE ON THAT NOTE THOUGH I DO
01:26:51:00	01:26:53:00	THINK THAT WE NEED TO INVEST IN
01:26:53:00	01:26:54:00	MORE EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
01:26:54:00	01:26:57:00	CAREER EXPLORATION
01:26:57:00	01:26:58:00	OPPORTUNITIES WHICH I KNOW THAT
01:26:58:00	01:27:01:00	THERE WAS AN INVESTMENT MADE AN
01:27:01:00	01:27:01:00	ANNOUNCEMENT EARLIER THIS YEAR
01:27:01:00	01:27:04:00	BUT I JUST THINK MORE OF THAT
01:27:04:00	01:27:05:00	IS WHAT THIS MOMENT IS CALLING
01:27:05:00	01:27:05:00	FOR.
01:27:05:00	01:27:09:00	I'M CURIOUS ABOUT THE THE CITY
01:27:09:00	01:27:12:00	ACADEMY.
01:27:12:00	01:27:13:00	WE I'M EXCITED AND I'VE BEEN
01:27:13:00	01:27:16:00	WORKING WITH THE THE
01:27:16:00	01:27:17:00	NEIGHBORHOOD'S JOBS TRUST AND
01:27:17:00	01:27:18:00	OTHER FOLKS AROUND WORKFORCE
01:27:18:00	01:27:19:00	DEVELOPMENT ISSUES.
01:27:19:00	01:27:21:00	AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
01:27:21:00	01:27:23:00	WHILE I DO APPRECIATE PARKS AND
01:27:23:00	01:27:24:00	OTHER DEPARTMENTS, I HAVE BEEN
01:27:24:00	01:27:27:00	ASKING FOR OTHER TYPES
01:27:27:00	01:27:28:00	OF EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
01:27:28:00	01:27:31:00	THAT WE SEE OUR CITY RESIDENTS
01:27:31:00	01:27:32:00	AS VIABLE CANDIDATES TO WORK
01:27:32:00	01:27:35:00	INSIDE OUR OFFICES AND OTHER
01:27:35:00	01:27:35:00	DEPARTMENTS.
01:27:35:00	01:27:36:00	SO I JUST WANT TO PUSH YOU ALL
01:27:36:00	01:27:39:00	TO THINK AND EXPAND THAT A
01:27:39:00	01:27:40:00	LITTLE BIT FURTHER LIBRARY
01:27:40:00	01:27:43:00	HOURS THERE'S NOT A DOLLAR
01:27:43:00	01:27:43:00	AMOUNT.
01:27:43:00	01:27:44:00	SO I'M JUST CURIOUS ARE YOU
01:27:44:00	01:27:45:00	GUYS THINKING ABOUT PUTTING A
01:27:45:00	01:27:47:00	DOLLAR AMOUNT THERE?
01:27:47:00	01:27:48:00	DO YOU HAVE A GAME PLAN FOR
01:27:48:00	01:27:50:00	WHERE AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF?
01:27:50:00	01:27:51:00	I THINK IT'S ALMOST EVERY
01:27:51:00	01:27:51:00	BRANCH SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY
01:27:51:00	01:27:54:00	THOUSAND DOLLARS 250 OKIAGARI
01:27:54:00	01:27:55:00	AND THEN FOR THE SUPPLIER AND
01:27:55:00	01:27:59:00	DIVERSITY PORTAL I DO
01:27:59:00	01:28:03:00	APPRECIATE THE INVESTMENT THERE
01:28:03:00	01:28:03:00	.
01:28:03:00	01:28:06:00	I'M JUST CURIOUS I I WOULD LIKE
01:28:06:00	01:28:07:00	TO SEE MORE INVESTMENTS AROUND
01:28:07:00	01:28:08:00	ACCOUNTABILITY NOT JUST HELPING
01:28:08:00	01:28:10:00	PEOPLE NAVIGATE THE PROCESS BUT
01:28:10:00	01:28:11:00	I THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE
01:28:11:00	01:28:14:00	SOME SORT OF MECHANISM IN PLACE
01:28:14:00	01:28:15:00	TO HOLD US ACCOUNTABLE TO THAT.
01:28:15:00	01:28:16:00	SO I JUST KIND OF WANT TO NOTE
01:28:16:00	01:28:18:00	THAT THAT YOU KNOW, I
01:28:18:00	01:28:19:00	APPRECIATE THE INVESTMENT BUT I
01:28:19:00	01:28:20:00	THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE
01:28:20:00	01:28:22:00	SOME SORT OF TRACKING MECHANISM
01:28:22:00	01:28:23:00	FOR ACCOUNTABILITY IN THAT LINE
01:28:23:00	01:28:25:00	ITEM AND THEN THE LAST THING
01:28:25:00	01:28:29:00	THAT I WILL ASK YOU ALL IS THE
01:28:29:00	01:28:33:00	WHEN WE'RE THINKING ABOUT
01:28:33:00	01:28:34:00	PROCESSES AND I'M REALLY HAPPY
01:28:34:00	01:28:35:00	TO SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE
01:28:35:00	01:28:37:00	GONE THROUGH A NUMBER DIFFERENT
01:28:37:00	01:28:38:00	WAYS AND HOW WE APPROVE THIS
01:28:38:00	01:28:38:00	BUDGET.
01:28:38:00	01:28:39:00	CAN YOU JUST TALK TO ME A
01:28:39:00	01:28:40:00	LITTLE ABOUT HOW PARTICIPATORY
01:28:40:00	01:28:41:00	BUDGET IS GOING TO INFLUENCE
01:28:41:00	01:28:44:00	YOUR DECISION MAKING MAKING
01:28:44:00	01:28:45:00	YOUR DECISION MAKING PROCESSES
01:28:45:00	01:28:48:00	AS WELL AS THE CITY
01:28:48:00	01:28:49:00	COUNCIL KIND OF WHAT YOUR
01:28:49:00	01:28:50:00	VISION IS FOR THAT AND BY
01:28:50:00	01:28:52:00	PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING DO YOU
01:28:52:00	01:28:53:00	MEAN THE NEW OFFICE THAT WILL
01:28:53:00	01:28:54:00	BE CREATED ?
01:28:54:00	01:28:54:00	YES.
01:28:54:00	01:28:57:00	YEAH, SO AS YOU KNOW WE WENT
01:28:57:00	01:29:00:00	THROUGH AND APPROVED THAT
01:29:00:00	01:29:01:00	OFFICE AND WE PASSED THAT WITH
01:29:01:00	01:29:04:00	YOU KNOW, THE COUNCIL APPROVED
01:29:04:00	01:29:05:00	AND PASSED THE ORDINANCE TO
01:29:05:00	01:29:05:00	CREATE THE OFFICE
01:29:05:00	01:29:08:00	OF PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING SO
01:29:08:00	01:29:09:00	WHICH IS GREAT BECAUSE THAT
01:29:09:00	01:29:10:00	GAVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET
01:29:10:00	01:29:10:00	STARTED ON THAT WORK.
01:29:10:00	01:29:12:00	SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS NOW
01:29:12:00	01:29:13:00	OF ACTUALLY BUILDING OUT THAT
01:29:13:00	01:29:17:00	OFFICE SO AS WE WERE DEVELOPING
01:29:17:00	01:29:20:00	THAT ORDINANCE AND WORKING
01:29:20:00	01:29:21:00	CLOSELY WITH THE ADVOCATES, I
01:29:21:00	01:29:22:00	THINK IT WAS YOU KNOW, GIVEN
01:29:22:00	01:29:23:00	THE TIME IT WAS TAKING TO SET
01:29:23:00	01:29:24:00	THINGS UP AND EXPECTED THAT
01:29:24:00	01:29:25:00	THAT PROCESS WOULD REALLY KIND
01:29:25:00	01:29:27:00	OF START OVER SUMMER.
01:29:27:00	01:29:29:00	SO I'M NOT YOU KNOW, I DON'T
01:29:29:00	01:29:29:00	THINK THE INFRASTRUCTURE WILL
01:29:29:00	01:29:31:00	BE IN PLACE TO NECESSARILY
01:29:31:00	01:29:32:00	IMPACT THE BUDGET THAT WE'RE
01:29:32:00	01:29:36:00	TALKING ABOUT TODAY BUT WITH,
01:29:36:00	01:29:36:00	YOU KNOW, THE EXPECTATION THAT
01:29:36:00	01:29:37:00	YOU KNOW, THE INVESTMENT THAT'S
01:29:37:00	01:29:40:00	INCLUDED IN HERE THAT THOSE
01:29:40:00	01:29:41:00	FUNDS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THE
01:29:41:00	01:29:43:00	PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING PROCESS
01:29:43:00	01:29:44:00	TO REVIEW GO THROUGH THEIR
01:29:44:00	01:29:47:00	PROCESS AND THAT'S ESTABLISHED
01:29:47:00	01:29:48:00	THAT IT WILL IMPACT AND THEN BE
01:29:48:00	01:29:51:00	A PART OF OUR BUDGET GOING
01:29:51:00	01:29:51:00	FORWARD.
01:29:51:00	01:29:55:00	THANK YOU, COUNCILOR , FOR
01:29:55:00	01:29:58:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
01:29:58:00	01:29:59:00	THANK YOU ALL FOR FOR BEING
01:29:59:00	01:30:00:00	HERE BECAUSE THIS IS JUST A
01:30:00:00	01:30:02:00	GENERAL OVERVIEW.
01:30:02:00	01:30:03:00	I'M NOT GOING TO ASK ANY
01:30:03:00	01:30:04:00	QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SPECIFIC
01:30:04:00	01:30:05:00	INVESTMENTS BUT I DO HAVE
01:30:05:00	01:30:05:00	QUESTIONS ABOUT THE REVENUE
01:30:05:00	01:30:06:00	JUST FROM MY OWN UNDERSTANDING.
01:30:06:00	01:30:07:00	CAN YOU FOR THE RECORD SHARE
01:30:07:00	01:30:10:00	WITH HOW YOU'RE CALCULATING THE
01:30:10:00	01:30:13:00	COST OF PROPERTY TAXES SO HOW
01:30:13:00	01:30:14:00	THE PROPERTY TAXES WERE ALLOWED
01:30:14:00	01:30:18:00	SO WE HAVE THE EXISTING LEVY
01:30:18:00	01:30:18:00	THAT GOES THROUGH A WHOLE
01:30:18:00	01:30:29:00	VALUATION PROCESS AND AND IS
01:30:29:00	01:30:30:00	CERTIFIED BY THAT BY THE
01:30:30:00	01:30:30:00	DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE WITH THE
01:30:30:00	01:30:31:00	STATE WE'RE ALLOWED TO TAKE TWO
01:30:31:00	01:30:32:00	AND A HALF PERCENT ON TOP
01:30:32:00	01:30:32:00	OF THAT LEVEE.
01:30:32:00	01:30:33:00	I'LL SAY THAT ABOUT TWO AND A
01:30:33:00	01:30:34:00	HALF PERCENT AND A HALF PERCENT
01:30:34:00	01:30:35:00	WE WERE ALLOWED TO GROW UNDER
01:30:35:00	01:30:36:00	THE STATE STATUTE GROW LEVY BY
01:30:36:00	01:30:37:00	TWO AND A HALF PERCENT IN THEN
01:30:37:00	01:30:38:00	DO WE MEET THAT DO WE GO TO
01:30:38:00	01:30:39:00	THAT TWO AND A HALF PERCENT
01:30:39:00	01:30:40:00	EVERY YEAR?
01:30:40:00	01:30:41:00	WE DO GREAT DEAL.
01:30:41:00	01:30:44:00	AND THEN YOU GOT WHAT IS
01:30:44:00	01:30:45:00	ALLOWED IN ADDITION TO TWO AND
01:30:45:00	01:30:46:00	A HALF PERCENT IS WHAT YOU CAN
01:30:46:00	01:30:48:00	ESTIMATE FOR NEW GROWTH.
01:30:48:00	01:30:49:00	OK, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
01:30:49:00	01:30:50:00	WHAT ABOUT STATE AID?
01:30:50:00	01:30:51:00	WHAT IS YOUR UNDERSTANDING
01:30:51:00	01:30:52:00	ABOUT HOW THE STATE CALCULATES
01:30:52:00	01:30:53:00	THE AID THAT COMES TO THE CITY
01:30:53:00	01:30:54:00	OF BOSTON?
01:30:54:00	01:30:56:00	WELL, IT'S IT'S IT'S DIFFERENT.
01:30:56:00	01:31:00:00	THIS IS GENERAL GOVERNMENT AID
01:31:00:00	01:31:01:00	THEY REFER TO AS UNRESTRICTED
01:31:01:00	01:31:03:00	GENERAL GOVERNMENT AID HAS A
01:31:03:00	01:31:04:00	FORMULA AT THE STATES BUDGET
01:31:04:00	01:31:07:00	AND THEY HAVE A FORMULA THEY
01:31:07:00	01:31:07:00	USE FOR THAT.
01:31:07:00	01:31:08:00	DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT FORMULA
01:31:08:00	01:31:09:00	IS?
01:31:09:00	01:31:10:00	YEAH, IT'S BASED ON A REVENUE
01:31:10:00	01:31:11:00	CONSENSUS MODEL.
01:31:11:00	01:31:12:00	I DON'T KNOW ACTUALLY BECAUSE
01:31:12:00	01:31:15:00	SOME EXPERIENCE OF THE STATE
01:31:15:00	01:31:15:00	OF YEAH.
01:31:15:00	01:31:16:00	SO I CAN'T REMEMBER THE FORMULA
01:31:16:00	01:31:20:00	FOR ILGA THERE EVEN WAS ONE BUT
01:31:20:00	01:31:20:00	I KNOW THAT THE OTHER BIG INPUT
01:31:20:00	01:31:23:00	INTO STATE AID IS CHAPTER
01:31:23:00	01:31:24:00	SEVENTY AID WHICH IS A VERY
01:31:24:00	01:31:27:00	COMPLEX FORMULA THAT IS BASED
01:31:27:00	01:31:30:00	ON MANY FACTORS OUT OF CITIES
01:31:30:00	01:31:34:00	SO THAT THAT IS A LARGE FORMULA
01:31:34:00	01:31:34:00	.
01:31:34:00	01:31:35:00	SO I THINK FOR PURPOSES OF THIS
01:31:35:00	01:31:36:00	BUDGET WE HAVE INCLUDED THE
01:31:36:00	01:31:38:00	STATE AID ASSUMPTION THAT WAS
01:31:38:00	01:31:39:00	PART OF THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET
01:31:39:00	01:31:42:00	THAT CAME OUT IN MARCH.
01:31:42:00	01:31:43:00	AS YOU KNOW WE GOT THE HOUSE
01:31:43:00	01:31:44:00	WAYS AND MEANS BUDGET A FEW
01:31:44:00	01:31:46:00	WEEKS AGO THEN WE WILL LOOK
01:31:46:00	01:31:47:00	FORWARD TO THE STATE AND SO WE
01:31:47:00	01:31:47:00	WILL YOU KNOW, AS WE MARCH
01:31:47:00	01:31:49:00	THROUGH KIND OF GET CONTINUOUS
01:31:49:00	01:31:50:00	UPDATES ON THE VARIOUS LEVELS
01:31:50:00	01:31:53:00	OF STATE AID THAT WILL BE IN
01:31:53:00	01:31:54:00	EACH OF THE BUDGETS AND
01:31:54:00	01:31:57:00	ULTIMATELY DECIDED IN THE FINAL
01:31:57:00	01:31:57:00	BUDGET.
01:31:57:00	01:32:01:00	BUT THE BUDGET WE'VE PRESENTED
01:32:01:00	01:32:02:00	TAKES THE GOVERNOR'S AMOUNT
01:32:02:00	01:32:02:00	INTO ACCOUNT.
01:32:02:00	01:32:05:00	OK, AND DO YOU TYPICALLY SEE
01:32:05:00	01:32:06:00	THAT THERE'S A GROWTH FROM THE
01:32:06:00	01:32:08:00	PRESENTED BUDGET AND THE AMOUNT
01:32:08:00	01:32:09:00	STATE AID THAT COMES INTO THE
01:32:09:00	01:32:10:00	CITY BY THE END OF IT?
01:32:10:00	01:32:12:00	DOES IT USUALLY GROW?
01:32:12:00	01:32:13:00	DOES IT GET LESS?
01:32:13:00	01:32:14:00	ARE WE TO WELL, WE WERE THE
01:32:14:00	01:32:17:00	BENEFICIARY OF A GROWING IN
01:32:17:00	01:32:17:00	LAST YEAR.
01:32:17:00	01:32:18:00	YES, I SEE.
01:32:18:00	01:32:20:00	BUT IT'S ALSO BEEN GOING DOWN
01:32:20:00	01:32:20:00	SIGNIFICANTLY.
01:32:20:00	01:32:20:00	YES.
01:32:20:00	01:32:22:00	SO WHAT IS THE STORY THAT YOU
01:32:22:00	01:32:24:00	WOULD TELL A STORY WE HEARD IN
01:32:24:00	01:32:25:00	THE HOUSE IS THAT ON A NET
01:32:25:00	01:32:25:00	BASIS IT'S ACTUALLY DOWN FROM
01:32:25:00	01:32:28:00	THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET SO IT'S
01:32:28:00	01:32:28:00	SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO PAY
01:32:28:00	01:32:29:00	ATTENTION TO ADVOCATE FOR.
01:32:29:00	01:32:32:00	OK, AND SO ARE WE EXPECTING
01:32:32:00	01:32:33:00	THAT THE FINAL BUDGET WILL HAVE
01:32:33:00	01:32:36:00	AN INCREASE OR DECREASE OF THAT
01:32:36:00	01:32:36:00	NUMBER THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY
01:32:36:00	01:32:37:00	USING?
01:32:37:00	01:32:37:00	I THINK WE'RE CAUTIOUSLY
01:32:37:00	01:32:40:00	OPTIMISTIC THAT IT WILL WE'LL
01:32:40:00	01:32:41:00	HAVE GROWTH IN IT.

01:44:11:00	01:44:12:00	EQUITABLE AND BY EQUITABLE I
01:44:12:00	01:44:13:00	MEAN EVERY SCHOOL IS OFFERING
01:44:13:00	01:44:16:00	THE SAME ACROSS THE SYSTEM WITH
01:44:16:00	01:44:16:00	BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL
01:44:16:00	01:44:19:00	PROGRAMING FOR OUR STUDENTS
01:44:19:00	01:44:20:00	THAT WRAPAROUND SERVICES THAT
01:44:20:00	01:44:24:00	ARE NEEDED AND IT'S NOT
01:44:24:00	01:44:24:00	ANYTHING THAT THEY PULLED OUT

01:44:36:00	01:44:37:00	THINGS THAT I HAD SPOKE ABOUT
01:44:37:00	01:44:39:00	SO I THINK SCHOOLS ARE PROBABLY
01:44:39:00	01:44:43:00	THE BEST EQUIPPED TO RESPOND TO
01:44:43:00	01:44:43:00	THAT.

01:44:51:00	01:44:55:00	CONTINUITY AND IN THEIR
01:44:55:00	01:44:55:00	EXPERIENCE OBVIOUSLY SOMETIMES
01:44:55:00	01:44:59:00	IT TAKES MORE RESOURCES FOR
01:44:59:00	01:45:00:00	CERTAIN STUDENTS THAT ARE SO
01:45:00:00	01:45:03:00	THAT'S COMPLETELY THAT IS THE
01:45:03:00	01:45:03:00	DEFINITION OF EQUITY.

01:55:19:00	01:55:20:00	AS YOU KNOW IN SA WE ARE
01:55:20:00	01:55:22:00	LOOKING FOR THE CITY IS LOOKING
01:55:22:00	01:55:25:00	FOR HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO FUND
01:55:25:00	01:55:26:00	THESE INVESTMENTS THAT HAVE
01:55:26:00	01:55:30:00	BEEN HISTORIC INVESTMENT ONCE
01:55:30:00	01:55:31:00	WE NO LONGER HAVE THE FUNDING
01:55:31:00	01:55:32:00	AND I'M WONDERING IF ON THE
01:55:32:00	01:55:34:00	OTHER AND IF WE'RE LOOKING AT
01:55:34:00	01:55:35:00	SOMETHING SIMILAR WE WERE ABLE
01:55:35:00	01:55:36:00	TO MAKE VERY, VERY INCREDIBLE
01:55:36:00	01:55:37:00	HISTORIC INVESTMENTS ESPECIALLY
01:55:37:00	01:55:38:00	WHEN IT COMES TO HOUSING VIA
01:55:38:00	01:55:39:00	OUR DOLLARS.
01:55:39:00	01:55:41:00	I THINK ABOUT THAT ACQUISITION
01:55:41:00	01:55:42:00	OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM WHICH
01:55:42:00	01:55:45:00	ALLOWS HOUSE NONPROFIT
01:55:45:00	01:55:49:00	DEVELOPERS BUY BUILDINGS THAT
01:55:49:00	01:55:50:00	HAVE TENANTS IN THEM TO REALLY
01:55:50:00	01:55:51:00	PREVENT AND WORK AGAINST
01:55:51:00	01:55:53:00	DISPLACEMENT.
01:55:53:00	01:55:54:00	I THINK ONE OF THE BEST AND
01:55:54:00	01:55:55:00	DISPLACEMENT TOOLS THERE IS
01:55:55:00	01:55:57:00	THAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY
01:55:57:00	01:55:58:00	HISTORIC INVESTORS PLAN TRUSTS.
01:55:58:00	01:55:59:00	HOW ARE WE THINKING ABOUT
01:55:59:00	01:56:01:00	CONTINUING THESE INVESTMENTS IN
01:56:01:00	01:56:02:00	THESE PROGRAMS THAT ARE
01:56:02:00	01:56:05:00	STABILIZE FOR OUR COMMUNITIES
01:56:05:00	01:56:06:00	AFTER THE OPERA?
01:56:06:00	01:56:13:00	AREN'T THERE HAPPENED IN ANSWER
01:56:13:00	01:56:14:00	THAT COUNCILOR SO ARPA WAS A
01:56:14:00	01:56:17:00	ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY
01:56:17:00	01:56:18:00	FOR US AND WE WERE LUCKY HERE
01:56:18:00	01:56:20:00	IN BOSTON THAT WE DIDN'T
01:56:20:00	01:56:21:00	EXPERIENCE THE REVENUE HOLE
01:56:21:00	01:56:24:00	THAT OTHER CITIES DID AND WE
01:56:24:00	01:56:25:00	WERE ABLE TO TAKE THAT MONEY
01:56:25:00	01:56:26:00	AND INVEST IT IN MANY OF THE
01:56:26:00	01:56:28:00	THINGS THAT YOU JUST DESCRIBED
01:56:28:00	01:56:28:00	.
01:56:28:00	01:56:31:00	WE'RE YOU KNOW, BY DESIGN IT
01:56:31:00	01:56:32:00	WAS THE INVESTMENTS WERE WERE
01:56:32:00	01:56:35:00	INTENDED TO NOT CREATE ONGOING
01:56:35:00	01:56:36:00	OPERATING EXPENSES FOR US.
01:56:36:00	01:56:37:00	BUT AS YOU MENTIONED, THERE ARE
01:56:37:00	01:56:39:00	A LOT OF REALLY IMPACTFUL
01:56:39:00	01:56:40:00	THINGS THAT THE CITY WOULD BE
01:56:40:00	01:56:43:00	LOOKING TO CONTINUE.
01:56:43:00	01:56:45:00	SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, IN OUR IN
01:56:45:00	01:56:45:00	OUR HOUSING INVESTMENT HERE IN
01:56:45:00	01:56:47:00	THE FIVE MILLION DOLLARS WE
01:56:47:00	01:56:48:00	INCLUDED IN THE OPERATING
01:56:48:00	01:56:49:00	BUDGET FOR SOME OF OUR HOUSING
01:56:49:00	01:56:52:00	INVESTMENTS SORT OF SEEKS TO
01:56:52:00	01:56:53:00	CONTINUE SOME OF THOSE ONETIME
01:56:53:00	01:56:56:00	THINGS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO
01:56:56:00	01:56:56:00	THROUGH ARPA.
01:56:56:00	01:57:00:00	BUT I THINK GOING FORWARD WE
01:57:00:00	01:57:02:00	ARE HOPEFUL TO DO TO START TO
01:57:02:00	01:57:03:00	ENGAGE IN MUCH LONGER TERM
01:57:03:00	01:57:04:00	FINANCIAL PLANNING HERE IN THE
01:57:04:00	01:57:07:00	CITY GOING OUT A FEW ADDITIONAL
01:57:07:00	01:57:08:00	YEARS SO THAT WE'RE ABLE TO SEE
01:57:08:00	01:57:11:00	WHERE THOSE CLIFT'S ARE TO THE
01:57:11:00	01:57:12:00	EXTENT THAT THEY EXIST AND THEN
01:57:12:00	01:57:15:00	WE ALL CAN MAKE INFORMED
01:57:15:00	01:57:16:00	DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT IT MAKES
01:57:16:00	01:57:19:00	SENSE TO CONTINUE AND SORT
01:57:19:00	01:57:20:00	OF WHAT THE TRADE OFF WOULD BE
01:57:20:00	01:57:20:00	OF CONTINUING SOME OF THESE
01:57:20:00	01:57:23:00	REALLY ROBUST PROGRAMS THAT WE
01:57:23:00	01:57:23:00	SET UP UNDER RPA.
01:57:23:00	01:57:24:00	YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY WOULD
01:57:24:00	01:57:27:00	COME AT A TRADE OFF TO OTHER
01:57:27:00	01:57:28:00	THINGS WE'RE ABLE TO DO.
01:57:28:00	01:57:30:00	SO I THINK, YOU KNOW,
01:57:30:00	01:57:31:00	IDENTIFYING WHAT ARE THE MOST
01:57:31:00	01:57:31:00	CRITICAL THINGS TO CONTINUE IN
01:57:31:00	01:57:34:00	THE VERY SHORT TERM BUT HAVING
01:57:34:00	01:57:35:00	A LONG TERM VIEW TO MAKE SURE
01:57:35:00	01:57:38:00	THAT WE ARE IDENTIFYING THOSE
01:57:38:00	01:57:38:00	THINGS EARLY AND CAN MAKE THOSE
01:57:38:00	01:57:39:00	ADJUSTMENTS AS NEEDED.
01:57:39:00	01:57:42:00	THANK YOU.
01:57:42:00	01:57:43:00	IT'S JUST THE SAME WITH
01:57:43:00	01:57:43:00	EVERYTHING ABOUT SOFT LANDINGS
01:57:43:00	01:57:46:00	FIRST FOR THE PROGRAMS.
01:57:46:00	01:57:47:00	I THINK WE NEED TO BE THINKING
01:57:47:00	01:57:47:00	ABOUT THAT HERE.
01:57:47:00	01:57:49:00	SO I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT
01:57:49:00	01:57:50:00	THERE'S GOING TO BE THAT
01:57:50:00	01:57:53:00	THINKING AS WELL AND THEN I
01:57:53:00	01:57:57:00	THINK THIS IS RELATED THAT GOES
01:57:57:00	01:57:58:00	BACK TO WHAT I WAS TRYING TO
01:57:58:00	01:57:59:00	SAY AT THE END TRYING TO TALK
01:57:59:00	01:58:01:00	MORE TIME AND THEN THE MY CHAIR
01:58:01:00	01:58:02:00	GAVE ME BUT AGAIN ONE OF THE
01:58:02:00	01:58:04:00	THINGS THAT I THINK WE CAN BE
01:58:04:00	01:58:05:00	DOING IN THE CITY IS WE ARE WE
01:58:05:00	01:58:08:00	DO HAVE THIS TRIPLE-A BOND
01:58:08:00	01:58:08:00	RATING, THIS FISCAL STRENGTH
01:58:08:00	01:58:11:00	THAT IS A RESOURCE THAT WE CAN
01:58:11:00	01:58:12:00	LEAN INTO AND TAP INTO MORE.
01:58:12:00	01:58:13:00	SO CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT
01:58:13:00	01:58:16:00	ABOUT HOW THAT TRIPLE-A BOND
01:58:16:00	01:58:17:00	RATING AND MAYBE EXPLAIN TO THE
01:58:17:00	01:58:20:00	FOLKS AT HOME WHO MAY NOT BE
01:58:20:00	01:58:21:00	AWARE HOW THAT HOW WE CAN LEAN
01:58:21:00	01:58:23:00	INTO THAT TO DO OR PICK UP SOME
01:58:23:00	01:58:24:00	OF THE WORK THAT THAT THAT WE
01:58:24:00	01:58:25:00	STARTED WITH OUR BANK?
01:58:25:00	01:58:25:00	YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
01:58:25:00	01:58:28:00	SO YOU KNOW, YOU'LL HEAR IN OUR
01:58:28:00	01:58:31:00	CAPITAL PRESENTATION TONIGHT
01:58:31:00	01:58:32:00	THAT IT ASSUMES A LEVEL
01:58:32:00	01:58:35:00	OF BORROWING THAT WE COULD ONLY
01:58:35:00	01:58:36:00	REALLY ASSUME IF WE IF WE HAD
01:58:36:00	01:58:39:00	THAT THAT TOP CREDIT RATING.
01:58:39:00	01:58:40:00	AND SO COUNCILOR BAKER POINTED
01:58:40:00	01:58:42:00	OUT THAT OUR INTEREST OUR DEBT
01:58:42:00	01:58:43:00	SERVICE COSTS WERE GROWING
01:58:43:00	01:58:43:00	SIGNIFICANTLY IN THIS BUDGET.
01:58:43:00	01:58:46:00	IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT TRIPLE-A
01:58:46:00	01:58:47:00	BOND RATING OUR OUR OUR DEBT
01:58:47:00	01:58:50:00	SERVICE COSTS WOULD BE EVEN
01:58:50:00	01:58:51:00	GREATER THAN WHAT IS THE DEBT
01:58:51:00	01:58:52:00	SERVICE COSTS THAT WHAT IS IT
01:58:52:00	01:58:55:00	IT'S ABOUT 250 MILLION A YEAR,
01:58:55:00	01:58:57:00	I BELIEVE OR IT IS A PERCENTAGE
01:58:57:00	01:59:01:00	OF THE BUDGET.
01:59:01:00	01:59:02:00	IT'S IT'S ROUGHLY I THINK
01:59:02:00	01:59:03:00	TOGETHER IT'S LIKE 20 PERCENT
01:59:03:00	01:59:07:00	OR SO.
01:59:07:00	01:59:08:00	SO WE'RE NOT FOR THAT
01:59:08:00	01:59:08:00	SIGNIFICANT YOU KNOW, TOP
01:59:08:00	01:59:11:00	CREDIT RATING.
01:59:11:00	01:59:12:00	WE WOULD BE PAYING A LOT MORE
01:59:12:00	01:59:13:00	IN INTEREST COSTS WHICH WOULD
01:59:13:00	01:59:14:00	LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO DO OTHER
01:59:14:00	01:59:15:00	THINGS.
01:59:15:00	01:59:16:00	YOU WOULD SEE, YOU KNOW, AN
01:59:16:00	01:59:19:00	INABILITY TO PUT A SIGNIFICANT
01:59:19:00	01:59:20:00	INVESTMENT IN SOME OF THESE
01:59:20:00	01:59:20:00	SORT OF DISCRETIONARY
01:59:20:00	01:59:23:00	EXPENDITURES THAT WE'VE
01:59:23:00	01:59:24:00	PRESENTED FOR YOU TODAY.
01:59:24:00	01:59:27:00	SO I THINK THAT LOW COST
01:59:27:00	01:59:28:00	OF CAPITAL ALLOWS US TO BORROW
01:59:28:00	01:59:31:00	AS MUCH AS WE'RE RESPONSIBLY
01:59:31:00	01:59:32:00	ABLE TO AT THE LOWEST COST AND
01:59:32:00	01:59:34:00	THAT ALLOWS US TO BUILD OUT OUR
01:59:34:00	01:59:35:00	INFRASTRUCTURE MOST AFFORDABLY
01:59:35:00	01:59:39:00	BUT ALSO GIVE US SPACE TO DO
01:59:39:00	01:59:39:00	OTHER THINGS IN OUR OPERATING
01:59:39:00	01:59:40:00	BUDGET.
01:59:40:00	01:59:43:00	BUT JUST FOR THE CLARIFICATION
01:59:43:00	01:59:44:00	SO THAT THAT'S SORT OF ONE
01:59:44:00	01:59:45:00	OF THE FISCAL POLICIES
01:59:45:00	01:59:46:00	ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEBT
01:59:46:00	01:59:50:00	SERVICE TO SET SOME RAIN RIGHT
01:59:50:00	01:59:50:00	NOW.
01:59:50:00	01:59:51:00	THANK YOU LAST YEAR.
01:59:51:00	01:59:51:00	OKAY.

01:59:54:00	01:59:55:00	YOUR ANSWER AND WILL DEVOTE
01:59:55:00	01:59:57:00	MORE TO US.
01:59:57:00	01:59:58:00	THANK YOU.
01:59:58:00	01:59:59:00	THANK YOU.
01:59:59:00	01:59:59:00	THANK YOU.
01:59:59:00	02:00:00:00	THANK YOU.

02:00:02:00	02:00:05:00	THIRTEEN POINT EIGHT THAT'S THE
02:00:05:00	02:00:05:00	GROWTH NUMBER THE GROWTH
02:00:05:00	02:00:08:00	PEMBROKE THANK YOU ASHA.
02:00:08:00	02:00:11:00	YOU HAD TALKED ABOUT ROBUST
02:00:11:00	02:00:12:00	ROBUST PROGRAMS THAT LIKE THE
02:00:12:00	02:00:16:00	FREE T IN ROBUST PROGRAMS THAT
02:00:16:00	02:00:19:00	WE INVESTED IN AND OPPOSED ARPA
02:00:19:00	02:00:24:00	IS THAT THAT THE T PROGRAM AND
02:00:24:00	02:00:24:00	THEN DIFFERENT HOUSING THINGS
02:00:24:00	02:00:25:00	WE DID.
02:00:25:00	02:00:26:00	CAN YOU NAME SOME OF THOSE
02:00:26:00	02:00:26:00	WE'RE TALKING ABOUT?
02:00:26:00	02:00:26:00	SURE.
02:00:26:00	02:00:28:00	I MEAN JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY
02:00:28:00	02:00:31:00	HEAD THERE IS OVER 200 NEARLY
02:00:31:00	02:00:32:00	THREE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
02:00:32:00	02:00:33:00	PUT INTO VARIOUS HOUSING
02:00:33:00	02:00:33:00	PROGRAMS.
02:00:33:00	02:00:35:00	I THINK THE FAIR FREE T WAS
02:00:35:00	02:00:38:00	PART OF THAT AS WELL.
02:00:38:00	02:00:39:00	OH MY GOSH.
02:00:39:00	02:00:40:00	SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THAT ON
02:00:40:00	02:00:42:00	AS A LIABILITY FOR TI.
02:00:42:00	02:00:44:00	SO RIGHT NOW THE BUDGET BEFORE
02:00:44:00	02:00:47:00	YOU TODAY DOES NOT ASSUME ANY
02:00:47:00	02:00:47:00	ADDITIONAL FUNDING THREE IT WAS
02:00:47:00	02:00:48:00	THREE YEARS SO I THINK WE'RE ON
02:00:48:00	02:00:51:00	OUR THIRD YOU KNOW.
02:00:51:00	02:00:55:00	YEAH I THINK WE RECOVERED
02:00:55:00	02:00:55:00	THROUGH OUR 424 FOR SURE 2024.
02:00:55:00	02:00:58:00	SO THAT'S DONE IN JUNE NEXT
02:00:58:00	02:01:02:00	YEAR.
02:01:02:00	02:01:02:00	WE'RE PLANNING ON TAKING THAT
02:01:02:00	02:01:03:00	ON AS A LIABILITY IN TWENTY
02:01:03:00	02:01:06:00	FIVE.
02:01:06:00	02:01:07:00	I THINK THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE A
02:01:07:00	02:01:07:00	DISCUSSION AS PART OF THE
02:01:07:00	02:01:09:00	FISCAL TWENTY FIVE AND I KNOW
02:01:09:00	02:01:10:00	THERE'S OTHER DISCUSSIONS WITH
02:01:10:00	02:01:10:00	THE STATE ABOUT YOU KNOW
02:01:10:00	02:01:13:00	OPTIONS THERE SO THAT WOULD BE
02:01:13:00	02:01:14:00	A CHOICE FOR THE MAYOR AND THE

02:01:37:00	02:01:38:00	THAT THAT'S AT THEIR MARGINS.

02:01:52:00	02:01:53:00	I MEAN I THINK WE WOULD BE
02:01:53:00	02:01:56:00	SENSITIVE TO SETTING UP SORT
02:01:56:00	02:01:57:00	OF AN ONGOING EXPECTATION OF A
02:01:57:00	02:02:00:00	SUBSIDY TO THE HOMEOWNER.

02:02:05:00	02:02:07:00	10 MILLION NOW SO THAT'S AN
02:02:07:00	02:02:08:00	ONGOING LIABILITY FOR FOUR FOR

02:02:16:00	02:02:18:00	YEARS AND WE DON'T HAVE
02:02:18:00	02:02:19:00	ANYTHING FOR THEM AND WE'VE
02:02:19:00	02:02:20:00	ESTABLISHED THAT THEY'D PAY
02:02:20:00	02:02:22:00	THREE QUARTERS OF THIS BUDGET

02:02:45:00	02:02:46:00	THE CITY FUNDED VOUCHER PROGRAM
02:02:46:00	02:02:50:00	IT WAS AN EXISTING MODEL THAT I
02:02:50:00	02:02:52:00	KNOW IT'S PART OF IT SO BECAUSE
02:02:52:00	02:02:57:00	PROPERTY TAXES ARE LIKE A
02:02:57:00	02:02:58:00	BASELINE COMPONENT OF EVERY
02:02:58:00	02:03:01:00	MUNICIPALITY IN THE
02:03:01:00	02:03:01:00	COMMONWEALTH THAT WOULD THAT
02:03:01:00	02:03:05:00	WOULD HAVE RAMIFICATIONS FOR
02:03:05:00	02:03:06:00	FOR A LOT OF FOLKS.
02:03:06:00	02:03:08:00	SO I UNDERSTAND THE
02:03:08:00	02:03:09:00	RAMIFICATIONS, JIM.
02:03:09:00	02:03:10:00	BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS WE HAVE
02:03:10:00	02:03:13:00	LONG TIME PEOPLE HERE THAT NEED
02:03:13:00	02:03:16:00	HELP THAT ARE IN THEIR HOMES
02:03:16:00	02:03:17:00	THAT NO, THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO
02:03:17:00	02:03:18:00	GET THE HELP.
02:03:18:00	02:03:19:00	WHAT LET'S MOVE ON TO SOMETHING
02:03:19:00	02:03:20:00	ELSE.
02:03:20:00	02:03:21:00	ROBUST PROGRAMS.

02:03:22:00	02:03:22:00	ACADEMY.
02:03:22:00	02:03:24:00	YOU HAVE TO TUNEUP SHAPEWAYS
02:03:24:00	02:03:25:00	BUSSES AND WASTEWATER THE
02:03:25:00	02:03:26:00	BUSSES FOR FOR US.
02:03:26:00	02:03:29:00	ARE THEY SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS?
02:03:29:00	02:03:30:00	THEY ARE SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS AND
02:03:30:00	02:03:31:00	THE WASTEWATER ARE GOING TO BE
02:03:31:00	02:03:35:00	FOR WASTE AND WATER AND SEWER.
02:03:35:00	02:03:36:00	YES, BASICALLY.
02:03:36:00	02:03:36:00	RIGHT.
02:03:36:00	02:03:39:00	OK, HOW MANY PEOPLE DO WE HAVE
02:03:39:00	02:03:40:00	GOING THROUGH THOSE WHO THEY
02:03:40:00	02:03:43:00	HAVEN'T BEEN SET UP YET?

02:03:45:00	02:03:46:00	COUNCILOR OK AND I'VE HEARD
02:03:46:00	02:03:50:00	OVER AND OVER ABOUT INVESTMENT
02:03:50:00	02:03:51:00	IN SIMPLIFYING THE EVENT
02:03:51:00	02:03:51:00	PERMITTING PROCESS.
02:03:51:00	02:03:54:00	WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE PROBLEM
02:03:54:00	02:03:55:00	WITH THE PERMITTING PROCESS?
02:03:55:00	02:03:58:00	I THINK FOR FOLKS WHO ARE SORT
02:03:58:00	02:04:02:00	OF SORT NOVICES AND IT'S A LOT
02:04:02:00	02:04:06:00	OF STEPS, A LOT OF THINGS YOU
02:04:06:00	02:04:07:00	HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND THIS IS
02:04:07:00	02:04:09:00	SORT OF THE EFFORT HERE TO HELP
02:04:09:00	02:04:10:00	PEOPLE YOU KNOW, THE AVERAGE
02:04:10:00	02:04:13:00	BLOCK PARTY TYPE OF THING TO
02:04:13:00	02:04:14:00	MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER
02:04:14:00	02:04:17:00	CONSUMABLE HELP THEM THROUGH
02:04:17:00	02:04:17:00	THAT PROCESS.
02:04:17:00	02:04:18:00	AND SO WHAT IS THAT INVESTMENT
02:04:18:00	02:04:21:00	LOOK LIKE?
02:04:21:00	02:04:22:00	LIKE YOU TALKED ABOUT THE
02:04:22:00	02:04:25:00	CRUNCHIER CONSIDERED HOW MANY

02:06:28:00	02:06:28:00	THAT FEEDS THEY'RE COMING IN
02:06:28:00	02:06:31:00	EVERY DAY AND THEY SEE WE'RE
02:06:31:00	02:06:32:00	STILL PAYING THEM LESS THAN

02:06:38:00	02:06:38:00	.
02:06:38:00	02:06:39:00	IT'S ALL GONE.
02:06:39:00	02:06:40:00	WE GOT 500 MILLION.

02:06:44:00	02:06:47:00	ENHANCING WORKER BENEFIT TO TO
02:06:47:00	02:06:50:00	THE EXTENT THAT THE REPLACEMENT

02:06:51:00	02:06:54:00	YEAR'S BUDGET IS THAT SUPPORTS
02:06:54:00	02:06:54:00	THE OPERATION INCLUDING WAGES?
02:06:54:00	02:06:58:00	THAT'S THAT'S PART OF THIS I
02:06:58:00	02:06:59:00	THINK TO SHOW JUST KEEPING
02:06:59:00	02:07:02:00	PEOPLE IN JOBS THAT THAT'S OUR
02:07:02:00	02:07:02:00	ENHANCEMENT.
02:07:02:00	02:07:04:00	THAT'S ALL WE DID WITH THIS
02:07:04:00	02:07:06:00	TYPE OF MONEY WON'T GET WE
02:07:06:00	02:07:10:00	ENSURED THAT THEY WERE
02:07:10:00	02:07:10:00	AVAILABLE.
02:07:10:00	02:07:14:00	YEAH, THERE WERE LAYOFFS DURING
02:07:14:00	02:07:14:00	THIS PERIOD.
02:07:14:00	02:07:15:00	WHEN DO YOU THINK THERE WILL BE
02:07:15:00	02:07:17:00	LAYOFFS AFTER ALL TAKE MONEY
02:07:17:00	02:07:18:00	AND EVERYTHING ELSE HAS DRIED
02:07:18:00	02:07:18:00	UP.
02:07:18:00	02:07:21:00	HOW LONG DO YOU THINK WE CAN WE
02:07:21:00	02:07:21:00	CAN DO THIS?
02:07:21:00	02:07:22:00	IS IT TWO YEARS BEFORE WE SACK?
02:07:22:00	02:07:25:00	BECAUSE WHEN I FIRST STARTED IT
02:07:25:00	02:07:26:00	WAS ALL LAYOFFS AND A COUPLE
02:07:26:00	02:07:27:00	OF YEARS BEFORE I STARTED HERE
02:07:27:00	02:07:29:00	I'VE WALKING IN THIS BUILDING
02:07:29:00	02:07:30:00	FOR THIRTY SIX YEARS.
02:07:30:00	02:07:33:00	IT'S ALWAYS LAYOFFS.
02:07:33:00	02:07:34:00	WHEN IS THAT WHEN IS THAT
02:07:34:00	02:07:34:00	BUDGET GOING TO HAPPEN?
02:07:34:00	02:07:35:00	WHEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
02:07:35:00	02:07:37:00	LOOK AROUND OK, WE'RE GOING TO
02:07:37:00	02:07:38:00	WE'VE GOT TO LAY PEOPLE OFF.
02:07:38:00	02:07:41:00	IS THAT IMPENDING AT ALL?
02:07:41:00	02:07:42:00	I DON'T THINK SO.
02:07:42:00	02:07:45:00	WE KNOW AND I'M NOT SAYING THIS
02:07:45:00	02:07:46:00	YEAR OR EVEN NEXT YEAR BUT I
02:07:46:00	02:07:48:00	THINK YOU RAISE AN IMPORTANT
02:07:48:00	02:07:49:00	POINT ABOUT JUST SUSTAINABILITY
02:07:49:00	02:07:52:00	OF OUR INVESTMENTS RIGHT.
02:07:52:00	02:07:53:00	AND I THINK WHY WE WANT TO
02:07:53:00	02:07:56:00	EMBARK ON A ROBUST FIND LONG
02:07:56:00	02:07:56:00	TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING PROCESS
02:07:56:00	02:08:00:00	SO THAT WE CAN ANTICIPATE THOSE
02:08:00:00	02:08:01:00	EARLY AND THAT WE'RE NOT CAUGHT
02:08:01:00	02:08:04:00	IN THE MOMENT HAVING TO MAKE
02:08:04:00	02:08:04:00	DIFFICULT CHOICES.
02:08:04:00	02:08:06:00	SO I THINK THAT AS YOU RAISE A
02:08:06:00	02:08:08:00	REALLY GREAT POINT ABOUT THE
02:08:08:00	02:08:08:00	SUSTAINABILITY OF THE
02:08:08:00	02:08:12:00	INVESTMENTS AND THAT COUPLED
02:08:12:00	02:08:13:00	WITH LONG TERM PLANNING WILL
02:08:13:00	02:08:13:00	HELP US IDENTIFY ISSUES BEFORE
02:08:13:00	02:08:16:00	IT GETS TOO WELL IF WE'RE GOING
02:08:16:00	02:08:17:00	TO START PAYING FOR TI
02:08:17:00	02:08:17:00	LAURENTIA THAT'S AN EXTRA IT

02:08:36:00	02:08:37:00	THROWN AROUND HERE LIKE CRAZY.
02:08:37:00	02:08:39:00	I DON'T SEE IT AS SUSTAINABLE
02:08:39:00	02:08:39:00	AND IT CONCERNS ME.
02:08:39:00	02:08:50:00	SO THAT'S GOING TO BE YOUR JOB
02:08:50:00	02:08:51:00	IN A COUPLE OF YEARS AND

02:08:58:00	02:08:59:00	BE HAPPY I'LL GET OUT OF YOUR
02:08:59:00	02:09:02:00	AREA IF YOU GIVE ME ONE SPEED
02:09:02:00	02:09:02:00	BUMP.
02:09:02:00	02:09:05:00	JIM SO IN WHICH WHICH STREET
02:09:05:00	02:09:06:00	DID YOU NEED ONE PEOPLE I NEED
02:09:06:00	02:09:06:00	MORE THAN ONE.
02:09:06:00	02:09:09:00	OH OH HE'S IN SOUTHIE.
02:09:09:00	02:09:12:00	HE NEEDS SOME OVER THERE TO NO
02:09:12:00	02:09:14:00	I SAID ONE TO JUST SEE IF WE
02:09:14:00	02:09:15:00	COULD KIND OF RIP THE BAND-AID

02:09:16:00	02:09:17:00	I NEED HIM IN MULTIPLE PLACES
02:09:17:00	02:09:17:00	AND I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR
02:09:17:00	02:09:20:00	MULTIPLE PLACES FOR ABOUT SEVEN
02:09:20:00	02:09:20:00	OR EIGHT YEARS.
02:09:20:00	02:09:21:00	YOU KNOW I THINK THIS WILL
02:09:21:00	02:09:24:00	PROBABLY BE ADDRESSED BY CHIEF
02:09:24:00	02:09:26:00	FRANKLIN HODGE AT THE CAPITAL
02:09:26:00	02:09:27:00	BUT THERE IS A CONCERTED EFFORT
02:09:27:00	02:09:31:00	TO PUSH THROUGH A MORE
02:09:31:00	02:09:32:00	STREAMLINED APPROACH TO
02:09:32:00	02:09:32:00	PEDESTRIAN SAFETY PROJECTS
02:09:32:00	02:09:34:00	INCLUDING SPEEDUPS.
02:09:34:00	02:09:35:00	JIM, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY
02:09:35:00	02:09:38:00	STREAMLINE A STREAMLINED JUST
02:09:38:00	02:09:39:00	PUT THEM IN.
02:09:39:00	02:09:42:00	THAT'S ALL WE HAVE ENGINEERS WE
02:09:42:00	02:09:43:00	SMART PEOPLE.
02:09:43:00	02:09:44:00	IT'S NOT A STREAMLINED PROCESS,
02:09:44:00	02:09:44:00	JIM.
02:09:44:00	02:09:46:00	I THINK IT'S OK.
02:09:46:00	02:09:47:00	HE WANTS SPEED BUMPS.
02:09:47:00	02:09:48:00	PUT THEM IN WHEN WHEN A KID
02:09:48:00	02:09:50:00	GETS KILLED OVER IN SOUTHIE
02:09:50:00	02:09:51:00	THEY WERE CERTAIN SPEED BUMPS
02:09:51:00	02:09:51:00	OVER THERE PRETTY QUICKLY.
02:09:51:00	02:09:54:00	WE CERTAINLY FIGURED IT OUT
02:09:54:00	02:09:55:00	THEN WHY ARE WE GOING TO WAIT
02:09:55:00	02:09:55:00	TILL PEOPLE ARE DYING?
02:09:55:00	02:09:58:00	THANK YOU.
02:09:58:00	02:09:59:00	I'LL STAY AROUND FOR MY NEXT
02:09:59:00	02:09:59:00	ROUND OUT OF ANOTHER ROUND.
02:09:59:00	02:10:02:00	YEAH, WE MIGHT BE HIT TO YOUR
02:10:02:00	02:10:03:00	MEETING TONIGHT AT FIVE.
02:10:03:00	02:10:03:00	I'M NOT SURE.
02:10:03:00	02:10:06:00	THANK YOU COUNCILOR BAKER.
02:10:06:00	02:10:07:00	COUNCILOR MEJIA YOU HAVE BEFORE
02:10:07:00	02:10:10:00	CANIFF RANK IS BRINGING IN THE
02:10:10:00	02:10:10:00	HEAT.
02:10:10:00	02:10:13:00	LET'S KEEP IT GOING.
02:10:13:00	02:10:17:00	ALL RIGHT SO I THINK THAT
02:10:17:00	02:10:18:00	COUNCILOR BAKER IS DEFINITELY
02:10:18:00	02:10:21:00	BRINGING SOME THINGS THAT WE
02:10:21:00	02:10:24:00	NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF RIGHT.
02:10:24:00	02:10:28:00	I KNOW THAT DURING THE LAST
02:10:28:00	02:10:29:00	YEAR'S BUDGET SEASON THERE WAS
02:10:29:00	02:10:30:00	SOME NEGOTIATING GOING BACK AND
02:10:30:00	02:10:33:00	FORTH.
02:10:33:00	02:10:34:00	WE YOU KNOW YOU GET WHAT YOU
02:10:34:00	02:10:35:00	GET WHEN YOU DON'T GET UPSET
02:10:35:00	02:10:36:00	AND WE ENDED UP GETTING SEVEN
02:10:36:00	02:10:37:00	HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
02:10:37:00	02:10:40:00	DOLLARS FOR MUNICIPAL SUPPORT
02:10:40:00	02:10:44:00	FOR HOUSING FOR OUR EMPLOYEES
02:10:44:00	02:10:45:00	AND WE'RE STILL IN THE PROCESS
02:10:45:00	02:10:48:00	OF GETTING THAT UP AND RUNNING
02:10:48:00	02:10:49:00	IN THE FACT THAT WE HAVE TO
02:10:49:00	02:10:52:00	HAVE A PROGRAM DESIGNED
02:10:52:00	02:10:53:00	SPECIFICALLY TO HELP OUR LOW
02:10:53:00	02:10:55:00	WAGE MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES IS
02:10:55:00	02:10:56:00	JUST NOT SUSTAINABLE.
02:10:56:00	02:10:59:00	AND I THINK THAT AT SOME POINT
02:10:59:00	02:11:01:00	WE ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO HAVE
02:11:01:00	02:11:03:00	TO DO A LOT MORE THAN JUST HOPE
02:11:03:00	02:11:07:00	, THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS OF LIKE
02:11:07:00	02:11:08:00	BEING ABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW
02:11:08:00	02:11:09:00	WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO KEEP
02:11:09:00	02:11:11:00	OUR EMPLOYEES HERE.
02:11:11:00	02:11:12:00	SO I DO THINK THAT THERE IS
02:11:12:00	02:11:15:00	SOMETHING TO BE SAID ABOUT
02:11:15:00	02:11:16:00	OPERA FUNDING AND AND WHEN IT
02:11:16:00	02:11:19:00	RUNS OUT WHAT THAT'S GOING TO
02:11:19:00	02:11:20:00	LOOK LIKE FOR OUR MOST
02:11:20:00	02:11:23:00	VULNERABLE EMPLOYEES AND I
02:11:23:00	02:11:24:00	THINK 750000 DOLLARS TO SUPPORT
02:11:24:00	02:11:30:00	THEIR HOUSING IS NOT ENOUGH.
02:11:30:00	02:11:31:00	AND I THINK IN AND I THINK WE
02:11:31:00	02:11:34:00	JUST NEED TO DO MORE THERE.
02:11:34:00	02:11:35:00	ONE OF THE OTHER INVESTMENTS
02:11:35:00	02:11:38:00	THAT I THINK POTENTIALLY MAY GO
02:11:38:00	02:11:39:00	AWAY IS THE COMMUNITY HUB
02:11:39:00	02:11:42:00	SCHOOLS WITH BAPS.
02:11:42:00	02:11:43:00	WE KNOW THAT THAT WAS ALSO
02:11:43:00	02:11:47:00	FUNDED THROUGH UPAS SO I'M JUST
02:11:47:00	02:11:47:00	CURIOUS IF WE CAN START
02:11:47:00	02:11:49:00	THINKING ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY
02:11:49:00	02:11:50:00	PLANS AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO
02:11:50:00	02:11:53:00	MAINTAIN BECAUSE WHAT'S THE
02:11:53:00	02:11:54:00	SENSE OF GETTING SCHOOLS TO
02:11:54:00	02:11:55:00	WHERE THEY NEED TO BE AND THEN
02:11:55:00	02:11:57:00	TAKING AWAY THOSE SUPPORT
02:11:57:00	02:11:58:00	SERVICES?
02:11:58:00	02:11:58:00	IT'S JUST IT DOESN'T MAKE
02:11:58:00	02:11:59:00	SENSE.
02:11:59:00	02:12:01:00	I THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO
02:12:01:00	02:12:02:00	HAVE TO MAKE SOME REAL SERIOUS
02:12:02:00	02:12:05:00	INVESTMENTS AND YOU TALKED
02:12:05:00	02:12:08:00	ABOUT DECISION MAKING TRADE
02:12:08:00	02:12:08:00	OFFS.
02:12:08:00	02:12:10:00	SO I'M JUST CURIOUS LIKE HOW IS
02:12:10:00	02:12:13:00	THIS ADMINISTRATION GOING TO
02:12:13:00	02:12:14:00	RECONCILE WITH THOSE TRADE
02:12:14:00	02:12:14:00	OFFS?
02:12:14:00	02:12:15:00	WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE
02:12:15:00	02:12:17:00	ATTEMPTED A DECISION MAKING
02:12:17:00	02:12:17:00	MODEL?
02:12:17:00	02:12:18:00	CAN YOU HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT
02:12:18:00	02:12:20:00	THAT LOOKS LIKE?
02:12:20:00	02:12:21:00	UH, SURE.
02:12:21:00	02:12:24:00	I MEAN, YOU KNOW, LUCKILY WE
02:12:24:00	02:12:25:00	ARE IN A GOOD FINANCIAL
02:12:25:00	02:12:28:00	POSITION AT THE MOMENT RIGHT?
02:12:28:00	02:12:29:00	SO WE'RE NOT IN A SITUATION IN
02:12:29:00	02:12:30:00	THIS BUDGET WHERE WE'RE HAVING
02:12:30:00	02:12:32:00	TO MAKE CUTS AND MAKE THOSE
02:12:32:00	02:12:33:00	TYPES OF TRADE OFFS.
02:12:33:00	02:12:33:00	BUT ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
02:12:33:00	02:12:36:00	YOU KNOW, THE ECONOMY IS
02:12:36:00	02:12:39:00	VOLATILE AND UNCERTAIN AND
02:12:39:00	02:12:40:00	UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN'T PREDICT
02:12:40:00	02:12:40:00	EVERYTHING.
02:12:40:00	02:12:43:00	SO AGAIN, I THINK THAT'S WHY
02:12:43:00	02:12:44:00	LONG TERM MODELING THAT I WAS
02:12:44:00	02:12:45:00	TALKING ABOUT JUST A MOMENT AGO
02:12:45:00	02:12:47:00	IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
02:12:47:00	02:12:49:00	YOU KNOW, I THINK THE DECISION
02:12:49:00	02:12:52:00	MAKING PROCESS WOULD DEPEND ON
02:12:52:00	02:12:53:00	THE SIZE AND SCALE OF ANY
02:12:53:00	02:12:55:00	SHORTFALL WE WOULD NEED TO
02:12:55:00	02:12:56:00	CLOSE AS A CITY.
02:12:56:00	02:12:57:00	YOU KNOW, I KNOW THE CITY HAS
02:12:57:00	02:13:00:00	PAST EXPERIENCE WITH CLOSING
02:13:00:00	02:13:00:00	MID-YEAR SHORTFALLS IF THERE'S
02:13:00:00	02:13:03:00	ARE BUDGET SHORTFALLS, THERE'S
02:13:03:00	02:13:04:00	ANY LESSONS WE CAN LEARN FROM
02:13:04:00	02:13:06:00	THAT, YOU KNOW, TO ENSURE THAT
02:13:06:00	02:13:10:00	WE ARE UTILIZING RESERVES
02:13:10:00	02:13:11:00	OF RESOURCES IN SUCH A WAY THAT
02:13:11:00	02:13:12:00	WE ARE STABILIZING THE CITY
02:13:12:00	02:13:15:00	BUDGET AND NOT HAVING TO MAKE
02:13:15:00	02:13:18:00	IMPACTFUL CUTS IN THE EVENT
02:13:18:00	02:13:19:00	THAT THEY'RE NEEDED.
02:13:19:00	02:13:20:00	BUT LUCKILY WE'RE IN A POSITION
02:13:20:00	02:13:21:00	IN THIS UPCOMING BUDGET WHERE
02:13:21:00	02:13:22:00	WE ARE IN A GOOD FINANCIAL
02:13:22:00	02:13:25:00	SITUATION AND HOPE TO MAINTAIN
02:13:25:00	02:13:26:00	THAT GOING FORWARD.
02:13:26:00	02:13:30:00	CAN YOU HELP US UNDERSTAND
02:13:30:00	02:13:34:00	WHICH ARE THE DEPARTMENTS HAVE
02:13:34:00	02:13:37:00	HAD HAD THE HIGHEST RESERVES
02:13:37:00	02:13:37:00	LIKE REVOLVING FUNDS THAT THEY
02:13:37:00	02:13:38:00	HAVEN'T UTILIZED.
02:13:38:00	02:13:41:00	ARE THERE DOLLARS DO YOU DO YOU
02:13:41:00	02:13:42:00	HAVE A SENSE OF WHICH
02:13:42:00	02:13:45:00	DEPARTMENTS HAVE THE HIGHEST
02:13:45:00	02:13:48:00	RESERVES OR REVOLVING FUNDS YET
02:13:48:00	02:13:49:00	IN THIS PERFORMANCE ON YOUR
02:13:49:00	02:13:52:00	OPERATING BUDGET OR IN TERMS
02:13:52:00	02:13:52:00	OF SURPLUSES?
02:13:52:00	02:13:56:00	YEAH, IT'S IT'S IT'S I THINK
02:13:56:00	02:13:57:00	BECOMING MORE PEOPLE ARE
02:13:57:00	02:14:00:00	STAFFING UP.
02:14:00:00	02:14:01:00	THEY'RE UTILIZING THEIR THEIR
02:14:01:00	02:14:01:00	BUDGETS APPROPRIATELY SO
02:14:01:00	02:14:04:00	THEY'RE I THINK WE'RE PREPARED
02:14:04:00	02:14:05:00	TO DEAL RIGHT WITH THE SNOW
02:14:05:00	02:14:06:00	THIS YEAR.
02:14:06:00	02:14:08:00	SO THAT'S A BUDGET THAT WILL
02:14:08:00	02:14:11:00	RETURN SOME LEVEL OF SURPLUS
02:14:11:00	02:14:12:00	WITH ME A MOMENT.
02:14:12:00	02:14:13:00	JEFF, DO YOU HAVE IF YOU DON'T
02:14:13:00	02:14:15:00	HAVE THE ACTUAL BREAKDOWN
02:14:15:00	02:14:16:00	OF THOSE DEPARTMENTS, ARE YOU
02:14:16:00	02:14:19:00	ABLE TO PROVIDE IT AFTER YOU'RE
02:14:19:00	02:14:19:00	SURE?
02:14:19:00	02:14:20:00	YEAH, BECAUSE I THINK FOR ME
02:14:20:00	02:14:23:00	I'D JUST BE REALLY HELPFUL TO
02:14:23:00	02:14:24:00	SEE WHICH DEPARTMENTS ARE
02:14:24:00	02:14:27:00	UTILIZING THEIR FUNDS OR WHICH
02:14:27:00	02:14:28:00	ONES AREN'T AND THEN ALSO WHAT
02:14:28:00	02:14:31:00	LESSONS ARE WE LEARNING FROM
02:14:31:00	02:14:31:00	THAT?
02:14:31:00	02:14:32:00	RIGHT.
02:14:32:00	02:14:33:00	BECAUSE IF WE HAVE A GROWTH
02:14:33:00	02:14:35:00	MINDSET WE CAN'T JUST KEEP
02:14:35:00	02:14:36:00	PUMPING DOLLARS INTO
02:14:36:00	02:14:39:00	DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE NOT YOU
02:14:39:00	02:14:40:00	UTILIZING THOSE FUNDS AND IF WE
02:14:40:00	02:14:42:00	NEED TO RETHINK AND PROVIDE
02:14:42:00	02:14:43:00	MORE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SO
02:14:43:00	02:14:44:00	THAT THEY CAN GET THOSE DOLLARS
02:14:44:00	02:14:47:00	ALLOCATED IN THE WAY THAT WE
02:14:47:00	02:14:48:00	HAVE ENVISIONED, I JUST THINK
02:14:48:00	02:14:49:00	THAT THERE'S SOMETHING THERE
02:14:49:00	02:14:51:00	FOR US TO LEARN IN TERMS OF HOW
02:14:51:00	02:14:52:00	WE DO BUSINESS.
02:14:52:00	02:14:52:00	RIGHT.
02:14:52:00	02:14:55:00	I THINK IS IS IMPORTANT FOR A
02:14:55:00	02:14:56:00	NAME AND THEN YOU KNOW,
02:14:56:00	02:14:57:00	EVERYWHERE THAT I GO EVERYONE
02:14:57:00	02:14:58:00	IS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT THE
02:14:58:00	02:14:59:00	FACT THAT THEY'RE NOT BEING
02:14:59:00	02:15:00:00	HEARD AND I DO APPRECIATE CIVIC
02:15:00:00	02:15:03:00	ENGAGEMENT AS ONE OF THE AREAS
02:15:03:00	02:15:03:00	OF INVESTMENTS.
02:15:03:00	02:15:06:00	I'M JUST CURIOUS IN TERMS
02:15:06:00	02:15:07:00	OF WHAT THAT RETURN ON THAT
02:15:07:00	02:15:08:00	INVESTMENT IS GOING TO LOOK
02:15:08:00	02:15:10:00	LIKE.
02:15:10:00	02:15:11:00	HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT KIND
02:15:11:00	02:15:14:00	OF HOW YOU'RE GOING TO MEASURE
02:15:14:00	02:15:15:00	YOUR SUCCESS AS IT RELATES TO
02:15:15:00	02:15:18:00	CIVIC ENGAGEMENT IN PLANNING
02:15:18:00	02:15:19:00	CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND YOU KNOW
02:15:19:00	02:15:23:00	WELL MAINLY IN PLANNING BUT
02:15:23:00	02:15:25:00	ALSO THE BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS
02:15:25:00	02:15:25:00	.
02:15:25:00	02:15:26:00	I JUST FEEL LIKE THAT IS AN
02:15:26:00	02:15:29:00	AREA FOR ME THAT I ALWAYS THINK
02:15:29:00	02:15:33:00	THAT WE FALL SHORT ON AND SO
02:15:33:00	02:15:34:00	CAN YOU JUST TALK TO ME A
02:15:34:00	02:15:37:00	LITTLE BIT ABOUT KIND OF THAT
02:15:37:00	02:15:38:00	RETURN ON INVESTMENT?
02:15:38:00	02:15:41:00	WHAT'S WHAT TOOLS ARE YOU USING
02:15:41:00	02:15:42:00	TO HOLD DEPARTMENTS ACCOUNTABLE
02:15:42:00	02:15:44:00	TO CIVIC ENGAGEMENT?
02:15:44:00	02:15:48:00	YEAH NO I YEAH I THINK IS ONE
02:15:48:00	02:15:49:00	OF THE EARLIER HEARINGS ON
02:15:49:00	02:15:50:00	EQUITY IN THE BUDGET.
02:15:50:00	02:15:53:00	I THINK CHIEF CASTEISM DOING
02:15:53:00	02:15:54:00	WAS TALKED ABOUT BUILDING OUT
02:15:54:00	02:15:56:00	MORE TECHNOLOGY TO TRACK AND
02:15:56:00	02:15:56:00	SURE.
02:15:56:00	02:16:03:00	ACCOUNTABILITY BUT A LOT OF IT
02:16:03:00	02:16:04:00	IS NOT IS IN TERMS OF ENGAGING
02:16:04:00	02:16:07:00	FOLKS.
02:16:07:00	02:16:08:00	I THINK YOU KNOW SUCCESS IS
02:16:08:00	02:16:11:00	HAVING MORE PEOPLE ENGAGED.
02:16:11:00	02:16:14:00	SO IT'S IT'S IT'S BASICALLY
02:16:14:00	02:16:15:00	FOLKS WHO MAY HAVE NEVER
02:16:15:00	02:16:18:00	PARTICIPATED IN PATRICK
02:16:18:00	02:16:19:00	NONSENSES OR CIVIC LIFE
02:16:19:00	02:16:22:00	GENERALLY AWARENESS OF CIVIC
02:16:22:00	02:16:23:00	ACTIVITIES.
02:16:23:00	02:16:24:00	I APPRECIATE THAT, JIM.
02:16:24:00	02:16:26:00	I THINK FOR ME WHEN I THINK
02:16:26:00	02:16:27:00	ABOUT WHAT A RETURN ON
02:16:27:00	02:16:30:00	INVESTMENT LOOKS LIKE IS ARE
02:16:30:00	02:16:31:00	PEOPLE BEING HEARD NOT JUST
02:16:31:00	02:16:34:00	ENGAGING THEM BUT ARE WE
02:16:34:00	02:16:35:00	ACTUALLY LISTENING TO WHAT
02:16:35:00	02:16:38:00	PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR BECAUSE
02:16:38:00	02:16:42:00	FOR ME THAT LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT
02:16:42:00	02:16:42:00	WHAT'S THE SENSE OF JUST
02:16:42:00	02:16:43:00	BRINGING PEOPLE IN IF WE'RE NOT
02:16:43:00	02:16:46:00	ACTUALLY ACTING ON THE THINGS
02:16:46:00	02:16:47:00	THAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR?
02:16:47:00	02:16:48:00	SO I THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO
02:16:48:00	02:16:50:00	BE SOME TOOLS AND SOME
02:16:50:00	02:16:51:00	MECHANISM PUT IN PLACE FOR US
02:16:51:00	02:16:54:00	TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT THOSE
02:16:54:00	02:16:54:00	INVESTMENTS ARE REALLY MAKING
02:16:54:00	02:16:57:00	THE IMPACT THAT INVISION
02:16:57:00	02:16:58:00	OTHERWISE IT'S JUST A WHOLE
02:16:58:00	02:16:58:00	BUNCH OF LIP SERVICE.
02:16:58:00	02:16:58:00	RIGHT.
02:16:58:00	02:17:01:00	WE'VE BEEN HEARING FROM FOLKS
02:17:01:00	02:17:02:00	THAT THEY DON'T FEEL LIKE
02:17:02:00	02:17:03:00	THEY'RE BEING HEARD THAT THEY
02:17:03:00	02:17:04:00	CAN'T GET A MEETING WITH
02:17:04:00	02:17:05:00	SO-AND-SO AND IT IS A LITTLE
02:17:05:00	02:17:09:00	BIT FRUSTRATING AND I KNOW I'VE
02:17:09:00	02:17:10:00	ONLY BEEN HERE ON THIS
02:17:10:00	02:17:10:00	COUNCIL FOR THREE YEARS AND I
02:17:10:00	02:17:13:00	HAVE SEEN AND I'VE BEEN THROUGH
02:17:13:00	02:17:13:00	THREE DIFFERENT ADMINISTRATIONS
02:17:13:00	02:17:14:00	AND I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
02:17:14:00	02:17:17:00	YOU ARE THE PROBLEM CHILD.
02:17:17:00	02:17:23:00	YOU USUALLY GET A DISREGARDED
02:17:23:00	02:17:25:00	AND I'M OK WITH THAT AND I AND
02:17:25:00	02:17:28:00	YOU KNOW BUT I THINK THAT WE
02:17:28:00	02:17:32:00	NEED TO DO BETTER IN TERMS
02:17:32:00	02:17:33:00	OF OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SO
02:17:33:00	02:17:36:00	THAT FOLKS DON'T FEEL ALIENATED
02:17:36:00	02:17:36:00	FROM THE PROCESS.
02:17:36:00	02:17:39:00	AND I FEEL LIKE EVERYBODY PICKS
02:17:39:00	02:17:40:00	AND CHOOSES WHO THEY WANT TO
02:17:40:00	02:17:44:00	WORK WITH AND I KNOW THAT FOR
02:17:44:00	02:17:48:00	ME THIS IS GOING TO BE AN AREA
02:17:48:00	02:17:49:00	THAT I THINK I'M GOING TO PAY A
02:17:49:00	02:17:50:00	LOT MORE ATTENTION TO.
02:17:50:00	02:17:54:00	YOU KNOW, I I THINK THAT THE
02:17:54:00	02:17:58:00	REST OF THE WAY THAT I AM GOING
02:17:58:00	02:18:02:00	TO USE MY TIME HERE IS THAT I
02:18:02:00	02:18:03:00	DO FEEL LIKE WE'RE ALWAYS
02:18:03:00	02:18:06:00	FIGHTING AND I'M OK WITH THAT
02:18:06:00	02:18:07:00	BECAUSE THAT'S WHO WE ARE.
02:18:07:00	02:18:09:00	BUT I DO THINK THAT IF WE DON'T
02:18:09:00	02:18:10:00	CHANGE AND SHIFT THE CULTURE
02:18:10:00	02:18:13:00	AND HOW WE INTERACT WITH ONE
02:18:13:00	02:18:14:00	ANOTHER AND THOSE WHO ARE
02:18:14:00	02:18:15:00	TUNING IN ARE GOING TO FEEL
02:18:15:00	02:18:18:00	LIKE THEY'RE JUST WE'RE JUST
02:18:18:00	02:18:21:00	DOING THIS FOR THEATRICS AND I
02:18:21:00	02:18:22:00	THINK THAT WE HAVE AN
02:18:22:00	02:18:26:00	OPPORTUNITY TO SHIFT AND I
02:18:26:00	02:18:28:00	WOULD LOVE TO SEE A LITTLE BIT
02:18:28:00	02:18:29:00	MORE EMPHASIS ON THOSE RETURNS
02:18:29:00	02:18:33:00	LIKE I WANT TO SEE DOLLAR FOR
02:18:33:00	02:18:37:00	DOLLAR LIKE HOW THIS DOLLAR IS
02:18:37:00	02:18:38:00	GOING TO IMPACT THIS OUTCOME IN
02:18:38:00	02:18:40:00	THIS PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD
02:18:40:00	02:18:44:00	AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE A SHIFT
02:18:44:00	02:18:45:00	IN THIS DIRECTION.
02:18:45:00	02:18:46:00	THAT'S THE LEVEL OF SPECIFICITY
02:18:46:00	02:18:49:00	THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS THE
02:18:49:00	02:18:52:00	FOLKS COME IN TO OUR HEARINGS
02:18:52:00	02:18:55:00	WITH SOME LEVEL OF LIKE RETURN
02:18:55:00	02:18:56:00	ON INVESTMENT BECAUSE WE SAY
02:18:56:00	02:18:59:00	THAT BUT I STILL AM NOT GETTING
02:18:59:00	02:19:01:00	IT AND I DON'T KNOW IF Y'ALL
02:19:01:00	02:19:04:00	NEED TO SAY IT IN SPANISH SO I
02:19:04:00	02:19:04:00	CAN UNDERSTAND IT BECAUSE RIGHT
02:19:04:00	02:19:05:00	NOW I STILL I'M NOT GETTING IT.
02:19:05:00	02:19:08:00	I JUST I'M STILL NOT SEEING IT.
02:19:08:00	02:19:10:00	I'M NOT FEELING IT AND YOU KNOW
02:19:10:00	02:19:11:00	AND IF AND MAYBE OTHER
02:19:11:00	02:19:15:00	COUNCIL COLLEAGUES HAVE A LOT
02:19:15:00	02:19:15:00	MORE SABINAS THAN I DO.
02:19:15:00	02:19:19:00	BUT I JUST THINK FOR ME I'M
02:19:19:00	02:19:19:00	HERE TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE
02:19:19:00	02:19:20:00	WHO ARE NOT ENGAGED AND IF I'M
02:19:20:00	02:19:22:00	NOT GETTING IT, I KNOW THE
02:19:22:00	02:19:23:00	PEOPLE THAT FOLLOW ME AREN'T
02:19:23:00	02:19:24:00	GETTING IT EITHER.
02:19:24:00	02:19:25:00	SO I'D LIKE TO SEE A LITTLE BIT

02:19:42:00	02:19:43:00	CONNECTS IT DIRECTLY WITH WHAT

02:19:57:00	02:19:58:00	MR GARCÉS WAS BASICALLY SAYING
02:19:58:00	02:20:01:00	THAT THE TECHNOLOGY EXISTS BUT
02:20:01:00	02:20:02:00	THAT THE CHIEFS BASICALLY OR
02:20:02:00	02:20:05:00	THE DEPARTMENT HEADS OR EVEN
02:20:05:00	02:20:06:00	FOR EVEN US THERE'S A TOOL THAT
02:20:06:00	02:20:09:00	WE COULD ACTUALLY USE TO
02:20:09:00	02:20:10:00	MEASURE AND TO POPULATE HOW
02:20:10:00	02:20:12:00	WE'RE VOTING ON OUR WEBPAGE AND
02:20:12:00	02:20:13:00	THEN I HAD TO LIKE FILE AN
02:20:13:00	02:20:16:00	ORDINANCE BUT THE TOOLS EXIST.

02:20:25:00	02:20:26:00	BUT THE SECOND THING TOO IS
02:20:26:00	02:20:28:00	THAT IF YOU'RE SAYING LET'S

02:24:11:00	02:24:13:00	THAT'S JUST WHAT WE'RE PAYING
02:24:13:00	02:24:13:00	THAT'S OUR MONTH THAT'S OUR
02:24:13:00	02:24:14:00	MONTHLY BILL OR WHATEVER OUR
02:24:14:00	02:24:16:00	YEARLY BILL.

02:24:21:00	02:24:24:00	AND GROW SOME THINGS.
02:24:24:00	02:24:25:00	THAT'S RIGHT.
02:24:25:00	02:24:28:00	OK SO I'D LIKE TO WE HAVE WHAT
02:24:28:00	02:24:29:00	IS OUR CAPACITY LOOK LIKE.

02:24:33:00	02:24:36:00	DEBT SERVICE CAPACITY AS JIM
02:24:36:00	02:24:37:00	MENTIONED WE HAVE A CITY POLICY
02:24:37:00	02:24:38:00	THAT DEBT SERVICE IS NOT MORE
02:24:38:00	02:24:40:00	THAN SEVEN PERCENT OF OUR
02:24:40:00	02:24:40:00	OPERATING BUDGET RIGHT NOW.
02:24:40:00	02:24:43:00	I THINK IT'S A LITTLE BIT LESS
02:24:43:00	02:24:44:00	THAN THE SEVEN PERCENT.
02:24:44:00	02:24:45:00	SO WE DO THEORETICALLY HAVE
02:24:45:00	02:24:48:00	CAPACITY ABOUT OUR FIVE YEAR
02:24:48:00	02:24:48:00	PLAN OUR OUR OUR OUR CAPITAL
02:24:48:00	02:24:52:00	PLAN, OUR FIVE OUR CAPITAL PLAN
02:24:52:00	02:24:52:00	SORT OF ASSUMES THAT OVER TIME
02:24:52:00	02:24:56:00	WE WILL BORROW AT A LEVEL THAT
02:24:56:00	02:24:59:00	WILL GET US UP TO THAT SEVEN
02:24:59:00	02:24:59:00	PERCENT LIMIT.
02:24:59:00	02:25:00:00	SO SORT OF WITHOUT SPEAKING TO
02:25:00:00	02:25:02:00	THE SPECIFICITY OF WHAT WE
02:25:02:00	02:25:03:00	BORROW FOR OF WHICH, YOU KNOW,
02:25:03:00	02:25:06:00	IF WE WERE TO STRUCTURE SOME
02:25:06:00	02:25:10:00	SORT OF BORROWING AROUND ÉDITH
02:25:10:00	02:25:11:00	, WE HAVE CAPACITY OVER TIME TO
02:25:11:00	02:25:12:00	GET UP TO A CERTAIN LEVEL
02:25:12:00	02:25:14:00	OF BORROWING.
02:25:14:00	02:25:15:00	SO AGAIN, I'M NOT SPEAKING TO
02:25:15:00	02:25:16:00	SORT OF LIKE WHAT'S ASSUMED
02:25:16:00	02:25:18:00	WITHIN THAT BORROWING BUT WE DO
02:25:18:00	02:25:19:00	ASSUME THAT OUR ABILITY TO
02:25:19:00	02:25:20:00	BORROW WILL GROW OVER TIME.
02:25:20:00	02:25:23:00	YEAH, BECAUSE IF IT'S SEVEN
02:25:23:00	02:25:23:00	PERCENT OF A GROWING BUDGET,
02:25:23:00	02:25:26:00	THIS BUDGET THIS BUDGET THIS
02:25:26:00	02:25:26:00	YEAR IS FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY
02:25:26:00	02:25:29:00	EIGHT A POINT A BILLION.
02:25:29:00	02:25:30:00	RIGHT.
02:25:30:00	02:25:33:00	I WANT TO SAY 12 YEARS AGO MY
02:25:33:00	02:25:34:00	FIRST BUDGET WAS TWO POINT FOUR
02:25:34:00	02:25:37:00	SO WE'VE DOUBLED MORE THAN
02:25:37:00	02:25:38:00	DOUBLED OUR BUDGET IN THESE
02:25:38:00	02:25:40:00	PAST TEN YEARS TO OUR CAPACITY
02:25:40:00	02:25:41:00	FOR BONDS HAS ALSO DOUBLED.
02:25:41:00	02:25:45:00	THAT WOULD MEAN FOR SEVEN
02:25:45:00	02:25:46:00	PERCENT OF TWO BILLION NOW IT'S
02:25:46:00	02:25:49:00	SEVEN PERCENT TO YEAH.
02:25:49:00	02:25:53:00	SO YOU KNOW OH SORRY SORRY.
02:25:53:00	02:25:53:00	NO GO AHEAD.
02:25:53:00	02:25:54:00	RIGHT.
02:25:54:00	02:25:57:00	SO TOO IS MY I THINK I'M RIGHT
02:25:57:00	02:25:58:00	THERE THERE'S TWO MORE BILLION
02:25:58:00	02:26:00:00	IN THERE SO SEVEN PERCENT
02:26:00:00	02:26:02:00	OF TWO BILLION IS ONE NUMBER
02:26:02:00	02:26:02:00	OF SEVEN PERCENT OF FOUR
02:26:02:00	02:26:05:00	BILLION IS ANOTHER NUMBER.
02:26:05:00	02:26:05:00	SURE.
02:26:05:00	02:26:06:00	AND WE CAN SHOW YOU SORT
02:26:06:00	02:26:09:00	OF OVER TIME HOW MUCH AGO OUR
02:26:09:00	02:26:09:00	GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS HAVE
02:26:09:00	02:26:11:00	GROWN AND THEY HAVE GROWN
02:26:11:00	02:26:12:00	SIGNIFICANTLY.
02:26:12:00	02:26:13:00	I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S EXACTLY
02:26:13:00	02:26:15:00	DOUBLE BUT YOU KNOW WE HAVE AS
02:26:15:00	02:26:16:00	THE BUDGET GROWS OUR ABILITY TO
02:26:16:00	02:26:17:00	SERVICE OUR DEBT GROWS.
02:26:17:00	02:26:20:00	WE CAN WE CAN BORROW MORE SO ON
02:26:20:00	02:26:20:00	AND SO FORTH.
02:26:20:00	02:26:22:00	SO YES, WE'VE GROWN OUR CAPITAL
02:26:22:00	02:26:24:00	PLAN AND YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE
02:26:24:00	02:26:25:00	ABLE TO ANSWER THIS BUT
02:26:25:00	02:26:27:00	WHEREABOUTS WHEREABOUTS WHERE
02:26:27:00	02:26:28:00	ARE WE IN THAT SEVEN PERCENT
02:26:28:00	02:26:28:00	NOW?
02:26:28:00	02:26:31:00	DO YOU KNOW?
02:26:31:00	02:26:32:00	I THINK AROUND FIVE SOMEWHERE
02:26:32:00	02:26:35:00	AROUND FIVE BUT OVER THE NEXT
02:26:35:00	02:26:36:00	FIVE YEARS WE EXPECT A LEVEL
02:26:36:00	02:26:39:00	OF BORROWING THAT WILL GET US
02:26:39:00	02:26:40:00	TO THAT STATUE OF SADDAM.
02:26:40:00	02:26:43:00	OK, BECAUSE I'M GOING TO WANT
02:26:43:00	02:26:43:00	SOME HELP.
02:26:43:00	02:26:44:00	BUT A GIFT LIKE JUST STRAIGHT
02:26:44:00	02:26:45:00	CONVERSATIONS IS ALL I'M
02:26:45:00	02:26:47:00	LOOKING FOR.
02:26:47:00	02:26:48:00	IF IT'S IF IT'S NOT IF IT'S NOT
02:26:48:00	02:26:51:00	AN OPTION I MEAN YOU IT'S YOU
02:26:51:00	02:26:54:00	STATED AT THE AT THE HEARING
02:26:54:00	02:26:55:00	THAT WE HAD THAT WE DON'T
02:26:55:00	02:26:56:00	REALLY WANT TO, YOU KNOW, CUT
02:26:56:00	02:26:59:00	OUR FUTURE REVENUES.
02:26:59:00	02:27:00:00	BUT I WOULD ARGUE IF THE FUTURE
02:27:00:00	02:27:03:00	REVENUES ARE BEING GENERATED
02:27:03:00	02:27:03:00	FROM SOMEPLACE THAT DIDN'T
02:27:03:00	02:27:04:00	GENERATE ANYTHING, WHY WOULDN'T
02:27:04:00	02:27:07:00	THAT NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S GOING
02:27:07:00	02:27:08:00	TO SUFFER THROUGH ALL THE
02:27:08:00	02:27:11:00	BUILDING THAT'S HAPPENING?
02:27:11:00	02:27:11:00	WHY WOULDN'T THAT NEIGHBORHOOD
02:27:11:00	02:27:14:00	HAPPENS TO BE DISTRICT THREE
02:27:14:00	02:27:15:00	THAT'S IN MY HEAD NOW WHY
02:27:15:00	02:27:15:00	COULDN'T THAT NEIGHBORHOOD
02:27:15:00	02:27:19:00	THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS BENEFIT
02:27:19:00	02:27:20:00	FROM SAY A SOCIAL ONE THAT
02:27:20:00	02:27:21:00	WOULD HELP US BUILD A FIELD
02:27:21:00	02:27:23:00	HOUSE THAT WOULD HELP US STAND
02:27:23:00	02:27:26:00	UP MORE JOB TRAINING BECAUSE I
02:27:26:00	02:27:27:00	DON'T SEE VERY MUCH IN HERE FOR
02:27:27:00	02:27:27:00	JOB TRAINING.
02:27:27:00	02:27:30:00	I SEE 500 THOUSAND FOR LIFE
02:27:30:00	02:27:34:00	SCIENCES LIKE SCIENCE.
02:27:34:00	02:27:35:00	SO LIKE THAT'S A THAT'S A
02:27:35:00	02:27:38:00	CONCERN OF MINE THAT THAT A
02:27:38:00	02:27:39:00	NEIGHBORHOOD CAN GO CAN TOTALLY
02:27:39:00	02:27:42:00	BE CHANGED FOR GOOD OR BAD
02:27:42:00	02:27:44:00	HOWEVER YOU LOOK AT IT BUT IT
02:27:44:00	02:27:46:00	CONCERNS THAT THE CHIEF
02:27:46:00	02:27:47:00	FINANCIAL OFFICER DOESN'T THINK
02:27:47:00	02:27:50:00	THAT THAT NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH IS
02:27:50:00	02:27:51:00	I WOULD ARGUE TRADITIONALLY
02:27:51:00	02:27:51:00	BEEN OVERLOOKED.
02:27:51:00	02:27:55:00	INISH REALLY RAN BECAUSE MY
02:27:55:00	02:27:55:00	NEIGHBORHOOD WAS OVERLOOKED
02:27:55:00	02:27:58:00	OVERLOOKED CITY SERVICES,
02:27:58:00	02:27:59:00	EVERYTHING EVERY WAY MY
02:27:59:00	02:28:00:00	NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I GREW UP IN.
02:28:00:00	02:28:03:00	SO WHY WHY CAN'T WE GO AFTER
02:28:03:00	02:28:06:00	THAT FUTURE DOLLARS?
02:28:06:00	02:28:07:00	AND I WILL SAY, YOU KNOW, LIKE
02:28:07:00	02:28:09:00	THE AS I WAS SAYING THAT WE
02:28:09:00	02:28:10:00	ASSUME THAT THE BUDGET GROWS
02:28:10:00	02:28:13:00	AND THAT IS AS A RESULT OF NEW
02:28:13:00	02:28:14:00	REVENUE THAT COME FROM THE
02:28:14:00	02:28:15:00	VALUE OF THOSE NEW PROPERTIES
02:28:15:00	02:28:18:00	THAT WOULD BE PART OF THAT
02:28:18:00	02:28:18:00	DEVELOPMENT IN THIS PARTICULAR
02:28:18:00	02:28:19:00	CASE.
02:28:19:00	02:28:21:00	SO WE'RE WE'RE SORT OF ASSUMING
02:28:21:00	02:28:22:00	THAT GROWTH IT'S REALLY A
02:28:22:00	02:28:23:00	MATTER OF DO WE WANT TO
02:28:23:00	02:28:25:00	DEDICATE AND SORT OF CONSTRAIN
02:28:25:00	02:28:26:00	THE THE BORROWING THAT WE DO AS
02:28:26:00	02:28:29:00	A RESULT OF INCREASED REVENUE
02:28:29:00	02:28:29:00	OR INCREASE PROPERTY VALUE?
02:28:29:00	02:28:30:00	DO WE WANT TO CONSTRAIN IT
02:28:30:00	02:28:32:00	WITHIN THAT GEOGRAPHIC REGION?
02:28:32:00	02:28:33:00	RIGHT.
02:28:33:00	02:28:36:00	SO THAT'S A POLICY DECISION FOR
02:28:36:00	02:28:38:00	I WOULD AGREE AND IT'S A AND
02:28:38:00	02:28:40:00	IT'S A POLICY DECISION FOR FOR

02:29:31:00	02:29:32:00	THIS ALL THIS MONEY HERE AND WE
02:29:32:00	02:29:33:00	DON'T HAVE ANY SORT OF BUY OUT
02:29:33:00	02:29:35:00	FOR THE PEOPLE THAT WERE COMING
02:29:35:00	02:29:39:00	IN HERE THE WHOLE TIME.
02:29:39:00	02:29:40:00	POINT OF CLARIFICATION
02:29:40:00	02:29:43:00	SORRY YESTERDAY CR CHIEF WOULD
02:29:43:00	02:29:47:00	YOU JUST RE I GUESS NOT
02:29:47:00	02:29:47:00	REPHRASE IT BUT CAN YOU CLARIFY
02:29:47:00	02:29:49:00	THAT YOU'RE SAYING THAT THEN
02:29:49:00	02:29:50:00	IT'S ON US IT'S AN ORDINANCE
02:29:50:00	02:29:54:00	THAT WE SHOULD FILE TO GET A
02:29:54:00	02:29:55:00	VOTE ON IN ORDER TO BORROW FOR
02:29:55:00	02:29:58:00	OR TO ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT IT.
02:29:58:00	02:30:02:00	SO I WOULD WANT TO CHECK WITH
02:30:02:00	02:30:02:00	MY COLLEAGUES ON JUST EXACTLY
02:30:02:00	02:30:03:00	WHAT WOULD BE LEGISLATIVELY
02:30:03:00	02:30:05:00	REQUIRED IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH
02:30:05:00	02:30:05:00	A DEATH.
02:30:05:00	02:30:06:00	I DON'T I DON'T KNOW.
02:30:06:00	02:30:09:00	I THINK IT WOULD REQUIRE A
02:30:09:00	02:30:10:00	LEGISLATIVE ACTION BUT THAT'S
02:30:10:00	02:30:11:00	MY ASSUMPTION.
02:30:11:00	02:30:13:00	YEAH, MY MY UNDERSTANDING
02:30:13:00	02:30:13:00	PROBABLY AN ORDINANCE BECAUSE
02:30:13:00	02:30:17:00	WE CAN DO IT WE CAN DO IT AS A
02:30:17:00	02:30:18:00	BODY THAT THAT THAT IS THE CITY
02:30:18:00	02:30:18:00	OF BOSTON.
02:30:18:00	02:30:21:00	BUT WE NEED WE CAN SAY IT ALL
02:30:21:00	02:30:25:00	WE WANT IF IF IF THE
02:30:25:00	02:30:28:00	ADMINISTRATION AND THE CFO AND
02:30:28:00	02:30:29:00	AND AND THE AUDITOR AND THE
02:30:29:00	02:30:32:00	ASSESSOR DON'T WANT TO DO IT
02:30:32:00	02:30:33:00	THEN IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
02:30:33:00	02:30:36:00	THAT'S THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING
02:30:36:00	02:30:36:00	ON IT.
02:30:36:00	02:30:37:00	SO MAYBE THE VOTE THEY CAN
02:30:37:00	02:30:40:00	STILL SAY NO TO OVER THERE BUT
02:30:40:00	02:30:41:00	WHEN I'M TRYING TO IMPRESS AND
02:30:41:00	02:30:44:00	IS THERE'S MONEY GOING THERE'S
02:30:44:00	02:30:45:00	MONEY HERE NOW AND I'M TRYING
02:30:45:00	02:30:47:00	TO CAPTURE SOME OF IT FOR MY
02:30:47:00	02:30:48:00	NEIGHBORHOOD FOR MY FIELD HOUSE
02:30:48:00	02:30:51:00	WHICH WILL BE WE TALK HERE ON
02:30:51:00	02:30:52:00	PAGE TWO OR SOMETHING ABOUT
02:30:52:00	02:30:55:00	GENERATIONAL INVESTMENTS,
02:30:55:00	02:30:56:00	INVESTING IN YOUNG PEOPLE,
02:30:56:00	02:30:56:00	INVESTING IN OLDER PEOPLE.
02:30:56:00	02:30:59:00	THAT'S ALL WE'RE TRYING TO DO
02:30:59:00	02:31:00:00	OVER THE COLUMBIA POINT FIELD
02:31:00:00	02:31:01:00	HOUSE IS INVEST IN PEOPLE AND
02:31:01:00	02:31:03:00	IT'S SURROUNDED BY HOUSING
02:31:03:00	02:31:06:00	DEVELOPMENTS SO AND I BELIEVE
02:31:06:00	02:31:07:00	THE STATE HAS GIVEN A LITTLE
02:31:07:00	02:31:10:00	MORE MONEY THERE AND I STILL IM
02:31:10:00	02:31:14:00	BAFFLED WHY THIS CITY IS NOT
02:31:14:00	02:31:18:00	INVESTING IN THIS IN THIS
02:31:18:00	02:31:22:00	PROJECT BAFFLER AND THE PAPER
02:31:22:00	02:31:22:00	MONEY CAN'T BE USED FOR
02:31:22:00	02:31:27:00	RETIREMENT IN ANY WAY.
02:31:27:00	02:31:28:00	I'M NOT LIKE FOR BUYOUTS AND
02:31:28:00	02:31:31:00	THINGS LIKE THAT BECAUSE I
02:31:31:00	02:31:32:00	THINK WE'RE GOING TO WIND UP
02:31:32:00	02:31:33:00	WITH A POCKET OF OP SOMEONE WAS
02:31:33:00	02:31:34:00	SPEAKING ABOUT IT EARLIER.
02:31:34:00	02:31:36:00	THEY WERE GOING TO END UP WITH
02:31:36:00	02:31:37:00	A POCKET OF APPLE MONEY.
02:31:37:00	02:31:39:00	DO YOU KNOW IF WE ARE ABLE TO
02:31:39:00	02:31:39:00	USE IT FOR RETIREMENT WHETHER
02:31:39:00	02:31:43:00	IT'S PAYING DOWN LIABILITY OR
02:31:43:00	02:31:44:00	OFFERING TO PEOPLE TO PAY GO
02:31:44:00	02:31:46:00	YOU WERE YOU WERE HERE DURING
02:31:46:00	02:31:47:00	THE DURING THE PANDEMIC WHEN
02:31:47:00	02:31:50:00	EVERYBODY ELSE WAS AT HOME.
02:31:50:00	02:31:51:00	I'M TALKING ABOUT THE SECURITY
02:31:51:00	02:31:54:00	GUARDS OVER WERE HERE THE THE
02:31:54:00	02:31:55:00	THE CUSTODIANS THAT WERE HERE
02:31:55:00	02:31:59:00	WHEN WE WERE ALL HOME LIKE ARE
02:31:59:00	02:32:00:00	WE GIVING THEM ANYTHING YOU
02:32:00:00	02:32:02:00	SAID WE KEPT THEM EMPLOYED.
02:32:02:00	02:32:03:00	THAT'S GREAT BUT WE HAVEN'T
02:32:03:00	02:32:06:00	DONE ANYTHING FOR THEM.
02:32:06:00	02:32:07:00	WE WERE ALL HOME.
02:32:07:00	02:32:07:00	THEY WERE ALL HERE.
02:32:07:00	02:32:10:00	THERE'S PEOPLE THROUGH THIS
02:32:10:00	02:32:10:00	WHOLE BUILDING HERE THAT SHOULD
02:32:10:00	02:32:13:00	BE TAKEN CARE OF SOMEPLACE.
02:32:13:00	02:32:14:00	THERE WAS SOME ELEMENT
02:32:14:00	02:32:15:00	OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING THAT
02:32:15:00	02:32:18:00	TWO THOUSAND BUCKS YOU GAVE
02:32:18:00	02:32:18:00	THEM A THOUSAND BUCKS.
02:32:18:00	02:32:19:00	YES.
02:32:19:00	02:32:22:00	SO THAT WAS THAT WAS A PAYMENT
02:32:22:00	02:32:23:00	TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE OK AND THEN
02:32:23:00	02:32:24:00	OUT OF THAT THOUSAND THREE
02:32:24:00	02:32:25:00	HUNDRED THIRTY GOOD TAKEN OUT
02:32:25:00	02:32:29:00	IN TAXES SO YOU GET 770 TO
02:32:29:00	02:32:29:00	SPEND.
02:32:29:00	02:32:30:00	SO THAT'S WHERE YOU WANT TO
02:32:30:00	02:32:33:00	CLARIFY A THOUSAND BUCKS FOR
02:32:33:00	02:32:36:00	ONE THOUSAND SO SO WHAT I
02:32:36:00	02:32:37:00	BELIEVE THAT THE ADMINISTRATION
02:32:37:00	02:32:41:00	DID FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT
02:32:41:00	02:32:42:00	WERE HERE YOUR SECURITY GUARDS,
02:32:42:00	02:32:44:00	YOUR SEIU WORKERS I THINK AND
02:32:44:00	02:32:45:00	I'M NOT TOTALLY SURE I'VE JUST
02:32:45:00	02:32:47:00	KIND OF HEARD IT THAT THEY GOT
02:32:47:00	02:32:48:00	OVER AND ABOVE A THOUSAND
02:32:48:00	02:32:52:00	DOLLARS FOR BEING HERE FOR
02:32:52:00	02:32:52:00	THREE YEARS.
02:32:52:00	02:32:53:00	WE WERE ALL AT HOME.
02:32:53:00	02:32:55:00	I DON'T THINK IT'S ENOUGH
02:32:55:00	02:32:56:00	ESPECIALLY WHEN WE BLEW THROUGH
02:32:56:00	02:32:57:00	THE FIVE HUNDRED MILLION WAS A
02:32:57:00	02:33:00:00	BONUS IN THE FORM OF A BANK
02:33:00:00	02:33:01:00	BONUS.
02:33:01:00	02:33:02:00	SO IF YOU LOOKED AT THE CHART
02:33:02:00	02:33:04:00	IT WOULD SAY OTHER MONIES
02:33:04:00	02:33:07:00	OVERTIME OTHER A BONUS PROBABLY
02:33:07:00	02:33:08:00	AND I JUST DON'T THINK IT'S
02:33:08:00	02:33:08:00	ENOUGH.
02:33:08:00	02:33:11:00	I THINK WE'VE ALL GIVEN THE
02:33:11:00	02:33:12:00	SECURITY GUARDS AWARDS AND
02:33:12:00	02:33:15:00	EVERYTHING WE GIVE THEM

02:36:52:00	02:36:55:00	HIGH ON OWNER-OCCUPIED TAXES
02:36:55:00	02:37:00:00	THAT WHEN I RETIRED AND

02:37:04:00	02:37:07:00	DOLLARS A YEAR IN PROPERTY TAX
02:37:07:00	02:37:07:00	LOOKS LIKE THIRTY FOUR THOUSAND
02:37:07:00	02:37:10:00	WHEN YOU RETIRE BECAUSE YOUR
02:37:10:00	02:37:11:00	PENSION OR WHATEVER YOU GET FOR
02:37:11:00	02:37:14:00	A YEARLY INCOME IS CUT IN HALF

02:37:57:00	02:37:58:00	ONTO THAT STREET AND IT'S JUST
02:37:58:00	02:38:01:00	HORRENDOUS AND I'VE ACTUALLY
02:38:01:00	02:38:02:00	BEEN OUT THERE I STAND ON THE

02:38:05:00	02:38:08:00	SO I MEAN IT'S A PRIORITY.
02:38:08:00	02:38:11:00	YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP IT SIMPLE

02:38:21:00	02:38:23:00	PROPERTY TAX SO YOU'VE GOT MY
02:38:23:00	02:38:24:00	MY IDEA ON THE PROPERTY TAX.
02:38:24:00	02:38:26:00	WHAT I'D LIKE TO SEE IS THAT
02:38:26:00	02:38:30:00	EVERYBODY THAT'S OWNER-OCCUPIED
02:38:30:00	02:38:31:00	NOT PULLING IN BIG RENTS.
02:38:31:00	02:38:34:00	YOU KNOW, WE KNOW THE BIG
02:38:34:00	02:38:35:00	TRENDS THAT ARE COMING IN ALL

02:38:54:00	02:38:55:00	WHAT IT SHOULD BE.
02:38:55:00	02:38:56:00	MY SONS ARE GOING TO BE GOING
02:38:56:00	02:38:58:00	THROUGH THAT WITHIN THE NEXT
02:38:58:00	02:38:59:00	COUPLE OF YEARS.

02:41:32:00	02:41:36:00	DOWN TO THE MOST IMPORTANT

02:41:44:00	02:41:45:00	WHAT IS A SEVENTY SEVEN PERCENT
02:41:45:00	02:41:48:00	OF THE BUDGET?

02:41:49:00	02:41:51:00	HERE IT WAS BELOW SEVENTY IT'S
02:41:51:00	02:41:55:00	SEVENTY SEVEN PERCENT NOW JUST

02:41:55:00	02:41:59:00	THAT HAVE BEEN HERE FOR SO MANY
02:41:59:00	02:42:00:00	YEARS TO GIVE THEM A LITTLE BIT
02:42:00:00	02:42:00:00	MORE OF A BREAK.

02:42:03:00	02:42:04:00	BREAK ON OWNER OCCUPIED BUT
02:42:04:00	02:42:07:00	IT'S A SMALL PERCENTAGE EVEN IF
02:42:07:00	02:42:08:00	THAT COMES ACROSS EVEN IF WE
02:42:08:00	02:42:11:00	PUSH THAT TO THE STATE HOUSE
02:42:11:00	02:42:11:00	WOULD IT TO THROUGH AN
02:42:11:00	02:42:12:00	ORDINANCE THAT HOW IT'S DONE

02:43:25:00	02:43:26:00	DOING YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD EVERY

02:43:42:00	02:43:43:00	TIME TO BE INVOLVED IN POLITICS

02:49:59:00	02:50:00:00	SUGGESTION IS THAT WE FILE BUT
02:50:00:00	02:50:03:00	THAT IT COULD ALWAYS BE VETOED
02:50:03:00	02:50:04:00	BY THE ADMINISTRATION AND IF
02:50:04:00	02:50:08:00	YOU IF YOU HAVE ANY FINAL
02:50:08:00	02:50:09:00	POINTS IN THAT I WAS ABLE TO

02:50:10:00	02:50:11:00	THAT EITHER.
02:50:11:00	02:50:14:00	AS YOU CAN SEE, I FILED FOR A
02:50:14:00	02:50:15:00	HEARING TO DISCUSS IT BECAUSE
02:50:15:00	02:50:18:00	OF THAT CONFUSION,
02:50:18:00	02:50:23:00	COUNCILOR MEJIA YOU HAVE THE
02:50:23:00	02:50:23:00	FLOOR.
02:50:23:00	02:50:26:00	THANK YOU CHAIR.
02:50:26:00	02:50:27:00	I THINK THAT COUNCILOR BAKER
02:50:27:00	02:50:30:00	AND ALSO JUST AS I CONTINUE TO
02:50:30:00	02:50:34:00	NAVIGATE THIS PROCESS RIGHT.
02:50:34:00	02:50:35:00	I THINK THERE'S A LOT AT PLAY
02:50:35:00	02:50:38:00	HERE TO JOHN'S EARLIER POINTS
02:50:38:00	02:50:41:00	IN TERMS OF HOW WE GET DOWN IN
02:50:41:00	02:50:42:00	THE NITTY GRITTY OF SITUATIONS.
02:50:42:00	02:50:42:00	RIGHT.
02:50:42:00	02:50:45:00	THERE'S A LOT OF HYPOTHETICALS
02:50:45:00	02:50:46:00	AND A LOT OF LIKE THE THEORY'S
02:50:46:00	02:50:46:00	RIGHT.
02:50:46:00	02:50:48:00	THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
02:50:48:00	02:50:50:00	ARE I AGREE ARE IN SUITS.
02:50:50:00	02:50:50:00	RIGHT.
02:50:50:00	02:50:53:00	SO FOR ME I WALK TO THE SPACE
02:50:53:00	02:50:53:00	AND I SEE SOMETIMES A BIG
02:50:53:00	02:50:56:00	DISCONNECTION WITH WHAT PEOPLE
02:50:56:00	02:50:57:00	ARE REALLY GOING THROUGH AND
02:50:57:00	02:50:58:00	THEN WHAT GETS PUT ON PAPER AND
02:50:58:00	02:51:01:00	THAT'S A MATTER OF PRIVILEGE
02:51:01:00	02:51:01:00	AND EVERYBODY HAS PRIVILEGE.
02:51:01:00	02:51:02:00	RIGHT, INCLUDING MYSELF THAT
02:51:02:00	02:51:05:00	I'M HERE IN THIS CHAMBER.
02:51:05:00	02:51:06:00	I UNDERSTAND AND RECOGNIZE THE
02:51:06:00	02:51:08:00	PRIVILEGE THAT I HAVE TO SERVE
02:51:08:00	02:51:09:00	ON THE FACT THAT I EVEN HAVE A
02:51:09:00	02:51:12:00	MIKE TO BE ABLE TO AMPLIFY MY
02:51:12:00	02:51:13:00	VOICE.
02:51:13:00	02:51:13:00	RIGHT.
02:51:13:00	02:51:14:00	SO THAT'S A PRIVILEGE.
02:51:14:00	02:51:15:00	BUT I ALSO THINK THAT THERE IS
02:51:15:00	02:51:16:00	SOMETHING TO BE SAID ABOUT HOW
02:51:16:00	02:51:20:00	WE HOW WE NAVIGATE THESE
02:51:20:00	02:51:20:00	PROCESSES.
02:51:20:00	02:51:21:00	THERE'S A LOT OF INTELLECTUAL
02:51:21:00	02:51:24:00	KIND OF LIKE THOUGHTS AND I
02:51:24:00	02:51:25:00	THINK THE DAY PEOPLE ARE JUST
02:51:25:00	02:51:28:00	STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET
02:51:28:00	02:51:29:00	AND THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
02:51:29:00	02:51:29:00	THE CITY IS RESPONDING TO THAT
02:51:29:00	02:51:32:00	NEED AND I THINK THAT INTENTION
02:51:32:00	02:51:35:00	VERSUS IMPACT IS ALWAYS GOING
02:51:35:00	02:51:36:00	TO BE SOMETHING THAT I'M
02:51:36:00	02:51:37:00	LOOKING AT IS LIKE OK, THIS IS
02:51:37:00	02:51:39:00	WHAT WE'RE INTENTION, YOU KNOW,
02:51:39:00	02:51:40:00	THIS IS WHAT WE'RE HOPING FOR
02:51:40:00	02:51:41:00	AND IT ALL SOUNDS VERY
02:51:41:00	02:51:43:00	ASPIRATIONAL BUT THIS IS MY
02:51:43:00	02:51:44:00	THIRD BUDGET AND I REALLY KIND
02:51:44:00	02:51:47:00	OF WANT TO START SEEING SOME
02:51:47:00	02:51:47:00	REAL SERIOUS LIKE RETURN ON
02:51:47:00	02:51:48:00	INVESTMENTS LIKE I KEEP TALKING
02:51:48:00	02:51:51:00	ABOUT THAT AND I WANT TO FEEL
02:51:51:00	02:51:52:00	THE IMPACT.
02:51:52:00	02:51:55:00	WHAT I HEAR FROM THESE STREETS
02:51:55:00	02:51:57:00	IS LIKE HOW IS THAT HELPING ME
02:51:57:00	02:51:58:00	?
02:51:58:00	02:51:59:00	HOW IS THAT GOING TO TRANSFORM
02:51:59:00	02:51:59:00	MY LIFE?
02:51:59:00	02:52:02:00	HOW IS THIS REALLY GOING TO
02:52:02:00	02:52:03:00	MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
02:52:03:00	02:52:06:00	AND I THINK THAT THAT LEVEL
02:52:06:00	02:52:06:00	OF UNDERSTANDING IS SOMETHING
02:52:06:00	02:52:10:00	THAT I CAN'T ANSWER RIGHT.
02:52:10:00	02:52:14:00	AND WE WE TRY BUT I JUST DON'T
02:52:14:00	02:52:15:00	FEEL LIKE WE'RE MEETING THE
02:52:15:00	02:52:15:00	MARK AND I THINK THAT WE WE'RE
02:52:15:00	02:52:18:00	TALKING ABOUT SPEED BUMPS AND
02:52:18:00	02:52:19:00	WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW,
02:52:19:00	02:52:20:00	RAT INFESTATION AND WE'RE
02:52:20:00	02:52:21:00	TALKING ABOUT PROPERTY TAXES.
02:52:21:00	02:52:22:00	THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT ARE
02:52:22:00	02:52:23:00	REALLY TANGIBLE.
02:52:23:00	02:52:23:00	RIGHT.
02:52:23:00	02:52:25:00	THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE WOW.
02:52:25:00	02:52:27:00	THIS IS THIS IS THE RETURN ON
02:52:27:00	02:52:29:00	THE INVESTMENT RIGHT.
02:52:29:00	02:52:30:00	ESPECIALLY FOR FOLKS WHO HAVE
02:52:30:00	02:52:33:00	DEDICATED THEIR ENTIRE LIVES
02:52:33:00	02:52:34:00	AND CAREERS TO THE CITY
02:52:34:00	02:52:34:00	OF BOSTON AND CAN AFFORD TO
02:52:34:00	02:52:37:00	STAY HERE.
02:52:37:00	02:52:38:00	AND I WANTED TO SAY THAT AGAIN
02:52:38:00	02:52:40:00	CANNOT AFFORD TO STAY HERE.
02:52:40:00	02:52:44:00	SO I'M ENCOURAGED BY THE BOLD
02:52:44:00	02:52:45:00	DIRECTION THAT WE'RE MOVING IN
02:52:45:00	02:52:48:00	AND THE ROBUST CONVERSATIONS
02:52:48:00	02:52:49:00	THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE HAVING
02:52:49:00	02:52:52:00	DURING THIS BUDGET CYCLE.
02:52:52:00	02:52:55:00	BUT I I STILL AM JUST I DON'T
02:52:55:00	02:52:56:00	KNOW I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE A LOT
02:52:56:00	02:52:59:00	OF WORK TO DO AND I DON'T KNOW
02:52:59:00	02:53:00:00	IF WE ARE REALLY LIKE LEADING
02:53:00:00	02:53:03:00	WITH THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MOST
02:53:03:00	02:53:04:00	IMPACTED.
02:53:04:00	02:53:05:00	I FEEL LIKE WHERE THERE'S A
02:53:05:00	02:53:08:00	DISCONNECT AND THAT IS ABOUT
02:53:08:00	02:53:12:00	CLASS THAT IS A BIG ISSUE HERE
02:53:12:00	02:53:13:00	IS CLASS NOT JUST RACE AND
02:53:13:00	02:53:16:00	RACISM BUT CLASS IS JUST
02:53:16:00	02:53:17:00	SOMETHING THAT I THINK THAT WE
02:53:17:00	02:53:20:00	DON'T LEAN INTO ENOUGH AND I
02:53:20:00	02:53:24:00	THINK THAT WE WOULD ALL BE
02:53:24:00	02:53:27:00	BETTER BY REALLY LOOKING AT
02:53:27:00	02:53:28:00	CLASS AS AN ISSUE OF DISPARITY
02:53:28:00	02:53:31:00	HERE IN THE CITY OF BOSTON
02:53:31:00	02:53:32:00	BECAUSE WE TALK ABOUT EQUITY A
02:53:32:00	02:53:34:00	LOT AND I APPRECIATE IT BUT I
02:53:34:00	02:53:38:00	THINK CLASSES IT SHOWS UP IN
02:53:38:00	02:53:39:00	THIS CHAMBER, IT SHOWS UP AND
02:53:39:00	02:53:40:00	HOW WE SHOW UP IT SHOWS UP IN
02:53:40:00	02:53:42:00	THE TYPE OF QUESTIONS THAT WE
02:53:42:00	02:53:46:00	ASK IT OR DON'T ASK IT SHOWS UP
02:53:46:00	02:53:47:00	THE NUMBERS THAT ARE REFLECTED
02:53:47:00	02:53:48:00	HERE AND HOW WE TALK ABOUT THE
02:53:48:00	02:53:50:00	PEOPLE THAT WE'RE HERE TO SERVE
02:53:50:00	02:53:50:00	.
02:53:50:00	02:53:51:00	ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE
02:53:51:00	02:53:52:00	IMPORTANT TO ME AND I WILL
02:53:52:00	02:53:55:00	CONTINUE TO UPLIFT THEM BECAUSE
02:53:55:00	02:53:58:00	I I ALWAYS SAY THE ONLY PEOPLE
02:53:58:00	02:53:59:00	WHO CAN TAKE ME OUT ARE THE
02:53:59:00	02:54:01:00	ONES THAT PUT ME IN AND I'M NOT
02:54:01:00	02:54:02:00	HERE TO PLAY GAMES WITH
02:54:02:00	02:54:03:00	PEOPLE'S LIVES AND OFTENTIMES
02:54:03:00	02:54:06:00	WE PLAY A LOT POLITICS IN
02:54:06:00	02:54:10:00	NEGOTIATING THE BUDGET CYCLE
02:54:10:00	02:54:11:00	AND EVERYBODY IS LIKE IT'S LIKE
02:54:11:00	02:54:14:00	THE HUNGER GAMES BUT I ALWAYS
02:54:14:00	02:54:17:00	SAY, YOU KNOW, WE WE ALL NEED
02:54:17:00	02:54:18:00	TO DO BETTER AND HOW WE
02:54:18:00	02:54:19:00	ADVOCATE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT WE
02:54:19:00	02:54:21:00	SERVE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE
02:54:21:00	02:54:24:00	SEASON OF GAMES WITH EVERYONE.
02:54:24:00	02:54:28:00	THANK YOU.
02:54:28:00	02:54:28:00	THANK YOU.
02:54:28:00	02:54:31:00	MY HERE COUNCILOR .
02:54:31:00	02:54:33:00	THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND THANK
02:54:33:00	02:54:33:00	YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE.
02:54:33:00	02:54:36:00	I THINK I'M I JUST WANT TO ECHO
02:54:36:00	02:54:37:00	WHAT MY COLLEAGUES
02:54:37:00	02:54:40:00	COUNCIL COLLEAGUES HAVE REALLY
02:54:40:00	02:54:40:00	SHARED.
02:54:40:00	02:54:41:00	I THINK THAT
02:54:41:00	02:54:43:00	COUNCILOR COUNCILOR BAKER IS
02:54:43:00	02:54:44:00	AND COUNCILOR ME HERE ARE
02:54:44:00	02:54:45:00	REALLY HITTING THE NAIL ON THE
02:54:45:00	02:54:46:00	HEAD IN TERMS OF WHAT THE
02:54:46:00	02:54:48:00	BUDGET PROCESS LOOKS LIKE.
02:54:48:00	02:54:49:00	AND I THINK THAT FROM WHAT I'M
02:54:49:00	02:54:51:00	HEARING AND FROM MY OWN
02:54:51:00	02:54:52:00	EXPERIENCE DURING THIS BUDGET
02:54:52:00	02:54:53:00	PROCESS, WE ARE HAVING
02:54:53:00	02:54:54:00	CONVERSATIONS WITH ALL THE
02:54:54:00	02:54:56:00	COUNCILORS TO ASK INFORMATION
02:54:56:00	02:54:57:00	ABOUT WHAT WE WANT TO SEE,
02:54:57:00	02:54:58:00	WHETHER IT BE FOR OUR DISTRICT
02:54:58:00	02:55:00:00	OR FOR THE ENTIRE CITY AND IT
02:55:00:00	02:55:01:00	DOESN'T SEEM LIKE ANY OF THE
02:55:01:00	02:55:03:00	THINGS THAT WE REQUESTED ARE
02:55:03:00	02:55:06:00	INCLUDED IN THIS BUDGET AND SO
02:55:06:00	02:55:08:00	IF AS CITY COUNCILORS WE ARE
02:55:08:00	02:55:08:00	MEANT TO BE THE REPRESENTATIVES
02:55:08:00	02:55:11:00	OF THE CONSTITUENT OF THE CITY
02:55:11:00	02:55:12:00	AND WE'RE WORKING ON THIS
02:55:12:00	02:55:12:00	BUDGET COLLABORATIVELY, THEN
02:55:12:00	02:55:15:00	WHAT IS THE ADMINISTRATION AND
02:55:15:00	02:55:16:00	WHAT IS THE OFFICE OF BUDGET
02:55:16:00	02:55:16:00	MANAGEMENT TELLING NOT THE CITY
02:55:16:00	02:55:19:00	THE CITY COUNCILORS AND BY
02:55:19:00	02:55:20:00	PROXY OUR CONSTITUENTS ABOUT
02:55:20:00	02:55:21:00	WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE AND HOW
02:55:21:00	02:55:23:00	THEY'RE GOING BE INCLUDED AND
02:55:23:00	02:55:24:00	REFLECTED IN THIS BUDGET.
02:55:24:00	02:55:27:00	IT WAS DISHEARTENING FOR ME TO
02:55:27:00	02:55:28:00	LOOK AT THE BUDGET BOTH THE
02:55:28:00	02:55:29:00	CAPITAL PLAN AND THE BUDGET AND
02:55:29:00	02:55:31:00	SEE THAT A LOT OF THE ISSUES
02:55:31:00	02:55:32:00	THAT MY CONSTITUENTS AND PEOPLE
02:55:32:00	02:55:33:00	IN THE CITY HAVE BEEN

02:55:34:00	02:55:34:00	THERE.

02:55:35:00	02:55:36:00	COUNCILOR ME AND WHAT I MEAN BY
02:55:36:00	02:55:38:00	COUNCILOR BAKER AND
02:55:38:00	02:55:39:00	COUNCILOR TFA AND I'M SURE THAT
02:55:39:00	02:55:40:00	IF I CHECK IN WITH ALL OF THE
02:55:40:00	02:55:42:00	REST OF MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES
02:55:42:00	02:55:43:00	WILL HAVE SIMILAR REACTIONS IS
02:55:43:00	02:55:46:00	THAT OUR REQUEST FOR OUR
02:55:46:00	02:55:47:00	CONSTITUENTS ARE NOT THERE AND
02:55:47:00	02:55:50:00	SO WHO ARE YOU LISTENING?
02:55:50:00	02:55:51:00	HOW IS THE ADMINISTRATION
02:55:51:00	02:55:54:00	MAKING DECISIONS?
02:55:54:00	02:55:55:00	I'M REALLY, REALLY HAPPY THAT
02:55:55:00	02:55:56:00	YOU WORKED COLLABORATIVELY WITH
02:55:56:00	02:55:58:00	THE CHIEFS GIVEN THAT THEIR
02:55:58:00	02:55:59:00	DEPARTMENTS ARE GOING TO BE THE
02:55:59:00	02:56:00:00	ONES THAT ARE GOING TO BE
02:56:00:00	02:56:01:00	IMPLEMENTING THE BUDGET TO ASK
02:56:01:00	02:56:02:00	THEM WHAT THEY NEED.
02:56:02:00	02:56:03:00	BUT IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THEM.
02:56:03:00	02:56:04:00	IT'S ABOUT WHAT THE PEOPLE ON
02:56:04:00	02:56:06:00	THE GROUND ALSO IDENTIFY AS
02:56:06:00	02:56:07:00	THEIR PRIORITIES AND MAYBE
02:56:07:00	02:56:10:00	THEY'RE NOT IN THE WEEDS ENOUGH
02:56:10:00	02:56:11:00	TO REQUEST YOU KNOW, HEY, WE
02:56:11:00	02:56:14:00	NEED TO EFTS FOR THIS TO BE
02:56:14:00	02:56:15:00	ABLE TO REALLY SUPPORT THREE
02:56:15:00	02:56:16:00	ONE ONE AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
02:56:16:00	02:56:18:00	BUT THEY ARE IN THE WEEDS
02:56:18:00	02:56:19:00	ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT SOME OF OUR
02:56:19:00	02:56:20:00	MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES ARE
02:56:20:00	02:56:22:00	NOT GETTING WHAT THEY NEED AND
02:56:22:00	02:56:25:00	THAT THEY NEED INCREASED
02:56:25:00	02:56:26:00	SUPPORT FOR THEIR BE PUMPS AND
02:56:26:00	02:56:27:00	THAT THEY NEED X, Y AND Z DONE
02:56:27:00	02:56:29:00	AND THAT WE NEED MORE HOKIES TO
02:56:29:00	02:56:30:00	PICK UP THE TRASH ON THE STREET
02:56:30:00	02:56:33:00	AND SO ON AND SO FORTH AND SO
02:56:33:00	02:56:37:00	THIS IS OUR SECOND TIME GOING
02:56:37:00	02:56:38:00	TO THIS BUDGET GOING THROUGH
02:56:38:00	02:56:38:00	THE NEW BUDGET PROCESS.
02:56:38:00	02:56:41:00	MY HOPE IS THAT THE COUNCIL CAN
02:56:41:00	02:56:45:00	COME TOGETHER AS A BODY TO
02:56:45:00	02:56:45:00	REALLY LOOK AT THE KIND
02:56:45:00	02:56:46:00	OF BUDGET THAT WE WANT TO SEE
02:56:46:00	02:56:49:00	BECAUSE ULTIMATELY THAT IS WHAT
02:56:49:00	02:56:49:00	IT IS.
02:56:49:00	02:56:50:00	THE MAYOR IS SUBMITTING A
02:56:50:00	02:56:53:00	BUDGET TO US AND THIS BODY IS
02:56:53:00	02:56:53:00	GOING TO SUBMIT A BUDGET TO THE
02:56:53:00	02:56:54:00	MAYOR THAT NOT ONLY INCLUDES
02:56:54:00	02:56:56:00	YOUR PRIORITIES BUT ALSO
02:56:56:00	02:56:57:00	INCLUDES THE PRIORITIES OF OUR
02:56:57:00	02:56:58:00	CONSTITUENTS AND THAT IS WHAT A
02:56:58:00	02:57:00:00	COLLABORATIVE PROCESS LOOKS
02:57:00:00	02:57:01:00	LIKE.
02:57:01:00	02:57:02:00	AND SO WHETHER OR NOT YOU, YOU
02:57:02:00	02:57:03:00	KNOW, VETO THE BUDGET HANDED
02:57:03:00	02:57:05:00	BACK MY HOPE THAT MY
02:57:05:00	02:57:05:00	COUNCIL COLLEAGUES ARE WILLING
02:57:05:00	02:57:06:00	TO STAND TOGETHER AND SAY THAT
02:57:06:00	02:57:09:00	A COLLABORATIVE BUDGET, ONE
02:57:09:00	02:57:09:00	THAT NOT ONLY INCLUDES WHAT
02:57:09:00	02:57:10:00	YOU'VE SAID TO US BUT WHAT WE
02:57:10:00	02:57:13:00	ARE WHAT WE NEED TO SEE ON
02:57:13:00	02:57:14:00	THERE IS AS GOOD A MOVE FORWARD
02:57:14:00	02:57:15:00	AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE
02:57:15:00	02:57:18:00	VOTE YES ON.
02:57:18:00	02:57:19:00	I HAVE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS
02:57:19:00	02:57:23:00	ABOUT BP'S BUDGET, PARTICULARLY
02:57:23:00	02:57:27:00	AROUND WHAT MONEY IS GETTING TO
02:57:27:00	02:57:27:00	THE ACTUAL CLASSROOMS.
02:57:27:00	02:57:31:00	I AM THE ONLY PERSON ON THE
02:57:31:00	02:57:33:00	COUNCIL WITH A SMALL CHILD THAT
02:57:33:00	02:57:34:00	I HAVE A CHILD WITH SPECIAL
02:57:34:00	02:57:35:00	NEEDS WHO ISN'T A FULL
02:57:35:00	02:57:37:00	INCLUSION CLASSROOM.
02:57:37:00	02:57:38:00	AND WHAT I'M SEEING IS THAT
02:57:38:00	02:57:39:00	THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY FLOATING
02:57:39:00	02:57:42:00	AROUND AT BP'S AND OUR TEACHERS
02:57:42:00	02:57:44:00	ARE SAYING THAT THEY DON'T HAVE
02:57:44:00	02:57:45:00	THE THINGS THAT THEY NEED IN
02:57:45:00	02:57:46:00	THEIR CLASSROOM.
02:57:46:00	02:57:47:00	SO I'M REALLY CURIOUS ABOUT HOW
02:57:47:00	02:57:49:00	MUCH MONEY IS GOING INTO HIRING
02:57:49:00	02:57:50:00	AND HOW TOP HEAVY BP IS AND I'M
02:57:50:00	02:57:51:00	GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THAT
02:57:51:00	02:57:53:00	DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS AND
02:57:53:00	02:57:54:00	IT'S REALLY GOING TO INFLUENCE
02:57:54:00	02:57:55:00	WHETHER OR NOT I VOTE YES ON
02:57:55:00	02:57:57:00	THE BBC'S BUDGET IF I FEEL LIKE
02:57:57:00	02:57:58:00	THE MONEY IS NOT ACTUALLY
02:57:58:00	02:57:59:00	GETTING TO THE STUDENTS OR THE
02:57:59:00	02:58:00:00	TEACHERS ON THE GROUND.
02:58:00:00	02:58:01:00	I UNDERSTAND THAT WE NEED
02:58:01:00	02:58:02:00	SUPPORT STAFF AND ALSO THERE IS
02:58:02:00	02:58:04:00	THERE NO SUCH THING AS HAVING
02:58:04:00	02:58:05:00	TOO MUCH TOO MUCH STAFF TO
02:58:05:00	02:58:08:00	MANAGE SOMETHING THAT WHERE THE
02:58:08:00	02:58:09:00	WORTH THE STAFF THAT WE'RE
02:58:09:00	02:58:09:00	PAYING TO MANAGE SOMETHING THAT
02:58:09:00	02:58:12:00	THE MONEY ISN'T GETTING BPS SO
02:58:12:00	02:58:13:00	I THINK YOU I'M SURE THAT THIS
02:58:13:00	02:58:16:00	WAS AN INCREDIBLE LABOR OF LOVE
02:58:16:00	02:58:17:00	AND COMMITMENT TO PUT THIS
02:58:17:00	02:58:19:00	BUDGET FORTH BUT IT IS NOT THIS
02:58:19:00	02:58:23:00	IS THIS IS NOT REFLECTIVE TO ME
02:58:23:00	02:58:24:00	AT LEAST IN YOU KNOW AND I WANT
02:58:24:00	02:58:25:00	TO TALK TO THE REST OF MY
02:58:25:00	02:58:27:00	COLLEAGUES OF WHAT OF THIS IS
02:58:27:00	02:58:30:00	NOT A BUDGET THAT REFLECTS OR
02:58:30:00	02:58:32:00	EVEN SENDS A MESSAGE TO THE
02:58:32:00	02:58:32:00	COUNCIL .
02:58:32:00	02:58:33:00	YES, WE HAD THESE MEETINGS WITH
02:58:33:00	02:58:33:00	YOU.
02:58:33:00	02:58:35:00	YOU LET US KNOW WHAT YOU WANTED
02:58:35:00	02:58:36:00	AND WE AT ALL CONSIDERED WHAT
02:58:36:00	02:58:37:00	WAS WHAT WAS IN THOSE
02:58:37:00	02:58:38:00	CONVERSATIONS.
02:58:38:00	02:58:39:00	SO THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE
02:58:39:00	02:58:39:00	THROUGHOUT THE BUDGET PROCESS.
02:58:39:00	02:58:42:00	I THINK THE CHAIR FOR ALL
02:58:42:00	02:58:43:00	OF HER WORK AND I'M EXCITED TO
02:58:43:00	02:58:44:00	WORK MORE COLLABORATIVELY TO

02:59:24:00	02:59:25:00	PROCESS THAT WE'RE ALL TALKING
02:59:25:00	02:59:25:00	ABOUT.
02:59:25:00	02:59:28:00	WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A
02:59:28:00	02:59:28:00	PROCESS WITH THE CHIEFS AND
02:59:28:00	02:59:31:00	THERE IS A PROCESS INFORMAL
02:59:31:00	02:59:35:00	PROCESS WITH THE COUNCILORS IF
02:59:35:00	02:59:36:00	WE WERE TO BE TRANSPARENT WE
02:59:36:00	02:59:39:00	WOULD HAVE THAT PROCESS WRITTEN
02:59:39:00	02:59:39:00	SOMEWHERE.
02:59:39:00	02:59:40:00	AND JIM, I APPRECIATE THAT YOU
02:59:40:00	02:59:43:00	SENT THE EMAIL EARLY ON WITH
02:59:43:00	02:59:44:00	THE TIMELINE AND THE PROCESS.
02:59:44:00	02:59:47:00	I HAVE NOT I HAVE YET TO
02:59:47:00	02:59:48:00	RECEIVE THE MEMOS FROM THE
02:59:48:00	02:59:48:00	DEPARTMENT HEADS.
02:59:48:00	02:59:52:00	I WOULD LIKE TO COMPARE WHAT
02:59:52:00	02:59:55:00	EXACTLY THEY REQUESTED AND WHAT
02:59:55:00	02:59:56:00	THE ADMINISTRATION DECIDED TO
02:59:56:00	03:00:00:00	AGREE WITH AND THEN AS WELL AS
03:00:00:00	03:00:03:00	ANYTHING ANY COMMUNICATIONS
03:00:03:00	03:00:07:00	FROM THE MY COLLEAGUES MY
03:00:07:00	03:00:08:00	COLLEAGUES OF COURSE WILL TELL
03:00:08:00	03:00:08:00	ME.
03:00:08:00	03:00:12:00	BUT IF IF YOU HAVE COMPARISONS
03:00:12:00	03:00:14:00	THEN WE CAN ACTUALLY
03:00:14:00	03:00:15:00	PRACTICALLY LOOK AT IT AND SAY
03:00:15:00	03:00:18:00	HERE IT IS RIGHT HERE.
03:00:18:00	03:00:19:00	I KNOW THAT WE LISTENED HERE
03:00:19:00	03:00:23:00	BUT WE DIDN'T LISTEN HERE SO
03:00:23:00	03:00:23:00	THAT THE CONVERSATIONS ARE
03:00:23:00	03:00:27:00	REASONABLE AND THEN NO ONE IF
03:00:27:00	03:00:28:00	THE PUBLIC IS NOT ALLOWED TO
03:00:28:00	03:00:31:00	SAY YEAH BUT ARE THEY IS THAT
03:00:31:00	03:00:31:00	ACCURATE?
03:00:31:00	03:00:34:00	DID THE MAYOR THE
03:00:34:00	03:00:34:00	ADMINISTRATION ACTUALLY NOT
03:00:34:00	03:00:37:00	LISTEN TO THE COUNCILORS RIGHT
03:00:37:00	03:00:37:00	.
03:00:37:00	03:00:39:00	AND SO I THINK IT'S JUST A
03:00:39:00	03:00:41:00	MATTER OF MAKING THINGS VERY
03:00:41:00	03:00:42:00	TRANSPARENT AND IT'S NOT OVER
03:00:42:00	03:00:45:00	YET.
03:00:45:00	03:00:45:00	THE MAYOR PROBABLY THE MAYOR
03:00:45:00	03:00:46:00	AND THE ADMINISTRATION YOU GUYS
03:00:46:00	03:00:47:00	ARE LIKE HEY, THEY HAVE THIS
03:00:47:00	03:00:49:00	AMENDMENT POWER THE LEAST WE
03:00:49:00	03:00:53:00	GIVE THEM THEN THE MORE WE CAN
03:00:53:00	03:00:54:00	NEGOTIATE THEN WE CAN MEET
03:00:54:00	03:00:54:00	HALFWAY.
03:00:54:00	03:00:55:00	IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU GO TO AN
03:00:55:00	03:00:57:00	INTERVIEW YOU WANT TO ASK FOR A
03:00:57:00	03:00:58:00	LOT OF MONEY SO THAT AT LEAST
03:00:58:00	03:01:00:00	YOU CAN LAND IN THE MIDDLE SORT
03:01:00:00	03:01:01:00	OF THING AND THIS IS WHAT IT
03:01:01:00	03:01:02:00	FEELS LIKE.
03:01:02:00	03:01:05:00	BUT IT'S IT'S NOT IT'S IT'S
03:01:05:00	03:01:05:00	LACKING TRANSPARENCY BECAUSE
03:01:05:00	03:01:08:00	THE PROCESS IS NOWHERE TO BE
03:01:08:00	03:01:08:00	FOUND.
03:01:08:00	03:01:09:00	IT'S NOT WRITTEN SOMEWHERE.
03:01:09:00	03:01:12:00	IT'S NOT FORMAL AND THE NEEDS
03:01:12:00	03:01:13:00	ASSESSMENT IN TERMS OF THE
03:01:13:00	03:01:16:00	COMMUNITY AT LARGE, BOSTON AT
03:01:16:00	03:01:17:00	LARGE YOU ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE
03:01:17:00	03:01:20:00	THAT.
03:01:20:00	03:01:20:00	THERE'S BEEN NO STUDY DISPARITY
03:01:20:00	03:01:23:00	STUDY DONE IT IS ONE OF THE
03:01:23:00	03:01:24:00	THINGS THAT I ASKED IN MY
03:01:24:00	03:01:27:00	BUDGET ASKS TO DO A DISPARITY
03:01:27:00	03:01:28:00	STUDY BEFORE WE CAN ACTUALLY
03:01:28:00	03:01:31:00	TALK ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT WE
03:01:31:00	03:01:32:00	WANT TO IMPLEMENT A NONPROFIT A
03:01:32:00	03:01:35:00	THIRD PARTY COMPANY OR SOME
03:01:35:00	03:01:35:00	SORT OF METRICS TO MEASURE
03:01:35:00	03:01:38:00	EQUITY IN THE BUDGET.
03:01:38:00	03:01:39:00	BEFORE WE COULD DO THAT WE NEED
03:01:39:00	03:01:42:00	TO UNDERSTAND IS THIS SYSTEM
03:01:42:00	03:01:43:00	ACTUALLY RACIST OR ARE WE
03:01:43:00	03:01:43:00	PERPETUATING PERPETUATING A
03:01:43:00	03:01:46:00	RACIST SYSTEM?
03:01:46:00	03:01:49:00	AND IF WE'RE NOT THEN WE'RE
03:01:49:00	03:01:49:00	DOING WELL.
03:01:49:00	03:01:50:00	WE THERE'S NO NEED FOR
03:01:50:00	03:01:53:00	IMPROVEMENT IF WE ALL AGREE
03:01:53:00	03:01:54:00	THAT THERE IS NEED FOR
03:01:54:00	03:01:57:00	IMPROVEMENT THEN BEFORE WE CAN
03:01:57:00	03:01:58:00	EVEN IMPLEMENT METRICS WE NEED
03:01:58:00	03:01:59:00	TO UNDERSTAND THE NEED THERE
03:01:59:00	03:02:01:00	HAS AN ASSESSMENT.
03:02:01:00	03:02:02:00	SO HOW CAN ANYONE SAY WHERE THE
03:02:02:00	03:02:05:00	MONEY IS REQUIRED?
03:02:05:00	03:02:06:00	WE CAN'T CONTINUE TO BE SORT
03:02:06:00	03:02:09:00	OF THIS REACTIVE ORDINARY
03:02:09:00	03:02:10:00	POLICY PEOPLE WHERE WE JUST PUT
03:02:10:00	03:02:13:00	BANDAIDS ON THINGS BECAUSE THE
03:02:13:00	03:02:14:00	SQUEAKY WHEEL GETS THE ALARM
03:02:14:00	03:02:17:00	AND EVERYBODY ELSE HAS TO WAIT
03:02:17:00	03:02:17:00	OR FOR EXAMPLE THERE'S A
03:02:17:00	03:02:20:00	MEETING IN CHARLESTOWN AND THE
03:02:20:00	03:02:21:00	FOLKS IN CHARLESTOWN SAID

03:02:28:00	03:02:32:00	GUESS WHAT?
03:02:32:00	03:02:33:00	THE VERY NEXT BUDGET
03:02:33:00	03:02:33:00	CHARLESTOWN IS GETTING A
03:02:33:00	03:02:36:00	SWIMMING POOL BUT ROXBURY FOR
03:02:36:00	03:02:39:00	EXAMPLE JP AUGUSTIN THEY WOULD
03:02:39:00	03:02:43:00	SAY WE NEED WORKFORCE.
03:02:43:00	03:02:47:00	WE NEED SOMETHING FOR SENIORS.
03:02:47:00	03:02:48:00	WE NEED SOMETHING FOR KIDS ON A
03:02:48:00	03:02:48:00	SPECTRUM.
03:02:48:00	03:02:51:00	WHERE'S OUR SENSE REGARDING AND
03:02:51:00	03:02:52:00	GUESS WHAT THEY'VE BEEN ASKING
03:02:52:00	03:02:52:00	FOR DECADES.
03:02:52:00	03:02:55:00	THEY GET IT.
03:02:55:00	03:02:59:00	YOU KNOW, I WE KNOW WHY BECAUSE
03:02:59:00	03:03:00:00	THOSE COMMUNITIES, THE LESS
03:03:00:00	03:03:00:00	AFFLUENT COMMUNITIES ARE NOT
03:03:00:00	03:03:03:00	INTEGRATED AS A COMMUNITY.
03:03:03:00	03:03:05:00	THEY VOTE LESS THEY HAVE LESS
03:03:05:00	03:03:07:00	MONEY THE CLASSISM THING THAT
03:03:07:00	03:03:10:00	JULIA IS TALKING ABOUT COS I'M
03:03:10:00	03:03:10:00	HERE.
03:03:10:00	03:03:12:00	AND SO IN ORDER FOR US TO
03:03:12:00	03:03:14:00	IMPLEMENT METRICS BASED ON
03:03:14:00	03:03:18:00	NEEDS BASED ON OF TRANSPARENT
03:03:18:00	03:03:19:00	PROCESS, WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT
03:03:19:00	03:03:22:00	THE STUFF WE HAVE TO BE HONEST
03:03:22:00	03:03:23:00	ABOUT IT.
03:03:23:00	03:03:24:00	SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT LOUD ENOUGH
03:03:24:00	03:03:27:00	BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO
03:03:27:00	03:03:27:00	NAVIGATE RESOURCES BECAUSE THEY
03:03:27:00	03:03:29:00	DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE
03:03:29:00	03:03:30:00	RESOURCES BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST
03:03:30:00	03:03:34:00	INVESTED IN SO THEY JUST NOT
03:03:34:00	03:03:38:00	HEARD OR YOU DO YOUR BEST FROM
03:03:38:00	03:03:39:00	YOUR DESK OR RESEARCH IN FRONT
03:03:39:00	03:03:40:00	OF YOU.
03:03:40:00	03:03:41:00	BUT THE COUNCILORS CAN HELP.
03:03:41:00	03:03:44:00	WE KNOW WHAT ACQUISITIONS
03:03:44:00	03:03:45:00	ESPECIALLY THIS GROUP
03:03:45:00	03:03:48:00	OF COUNCILORS WHERE VERY
03:03:48:00	03:03:49:00	GRASSROOT WE'RE ON THE GROUND.
03:03:49:00	03:03:52:00	WE KNOW EVERY WE KNOW
03:03:52:00	03:03:53:00	CONSTITUENTS, WE KNOW EVERY
03:03:53:00	03:03:53:00	BUSINESS.

03:03:54:00	03:03:56:00	ON IN OUR DISTRICT.
03:03:56:00	03:03:57:00	SO I DON'T THINK THE
03:03:57:00	03:04:00:00	CONVERSATION IS OVER YET.
03:04:00:00	03:04:01:00	I THINK THERE'S STILL ROOM FOR
03:04:01:00	03:04:04:00	NEGOTIATION AND WELCOME TO
03:04:04:00	03:04:08:00	BUDGET AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO
03:04:08:00	03:04:08:00	MORE CONVERSATIONS.
03:04:08:00	03:04:11:00	AS YOU'VE NOTICED, I'VE INVITED
03:04:11:00	03:04:12:00	TO A LOT OF WORKING SESSIONS.
03:04:12:00	03:04:16:00	I HOPE THAT YOU DON'T TAKE THAT
03:04:16:00	03:04:16:00	PERSONAL IT'S NEEDED.
03:04:16:00	03:04:19:00	LAST YEAR WE JUST FELT LIKE

03:04:21:00	03:04:23:00	LEGAL?
03:04:23:00	03:04:23:00	SO THROUGH THAT PROCESS
03:04:23:00	03:04:27:00	HOPEFULLY WE CAN STILL TALK
03:04:27:00	03:04:30:00	ABOUT GIVING THE CONSTITUENTS
03:04:30:00	03:04:31:00	SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE
03:04:31:00	03:04:32:00	COUNCILORS HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR
03:04:32:00	03:04:35:00	AND HOPEFULLY WILL BE ABLE TO
03:04:35:00	03:04:38:00	COME TO A REASONABLE SOLUTION
03:04:38:00	03:04:42:00	BEYOND WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING.
