00:20:05:00	00:20:08:00	MICHAEL FOR QUESTIONING AND
00:20:08:00	00:20:09:00	THEN I WILL ASK MY QUESTIONS.

00:20:13:00	00:20:13:00	FLOOR.
00:20:13:00	00:20:16:00	WELL, THANK YOU.
00:20:16:00	00:20:20:00	ARE YOU CONCERNED THAT THERE
00:20:20:00	00:20:21:00	SEEM THERE IS A DECREASE IN THE
00:20:21:00	00:20:22:00	PERSONNEL BUDGET?
00:20:22:00	00:20:27:00	HAVE YOU SEEN THAT?
00:20:27:00	00:20:28:00	YES, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IT.

00:20:29:00	00:20:31:00	NUMBER ON I DON'T HAVE IT IN
00:20:31:00	00:20:31:00	FRONT OF ME.
00:20:31:00	00:20:33:00	I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT I MEAN I
00:20:33:00	00:20:35:00	THINK WHAT I SAW WAS LIKE
00:20:35:00	00:20:35:00	ALMOST HALF A MILLION DOLLARS
00:20:35:00	00:20:39:00	AND A DECREASE IN THE PERSONNEL
00:20:39:00	00:20:39:00	BUDGET.
00:20:39:00	00:20:40:00	YEAH, THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE
00:20:40:00	00:20:43:00	TOUGH TO DO ESPECIALLY WITH THE
00:20:43:00	00:20:46:00	NUCLEAR THAT PROGRAM IS COMING
00:20:46:00	00:20:47:00	DIRECTLY OUT OF THE PERSONNEL
00:20:47:00	00:20:51:00	BUDGET ALLOCATION OR IS THAT A
00:20:51:00	00:20:51:00	SEPARATE FUND I BELIEVE IS
00:20:51:00	00:20:54:00	COMING FROM THE OPERATING
00:20:54:00	00:20:55:00	YOU'RE SEEING?
00:20:55:00	00:20:58:00	OK, AND YOU MENTIONED THE CADET
00:20:58:00	00:20:59:00	PROGRAM.
00:20:59:00	00:21:03:00	ARE YOU HOPING TO GET AROUND 30
00:21:03:00	00:21:03:00	TO EACH YEAR?
00:21:03:00	00:21:07:00	YES, SO WE DO WE DID 32 THIS
00:21:07:00	00:21:10:00	FISCAL YEAR AT 523 WE WANT TO
00:21:10:00	00:21:11:00	DO 32 AND FY 24 AND CONTINUE
00:21:11:00	00:21:14:00	EVERY TO DO 32.
00:21:14:00	00:21:18:00	AND HOW MANY OF THOSE CADETS
00:21:18:00	00:21:19:00	WILL BE SELECTED TO HAVE ACCESS
00:21:19:00	00:21:22:00	TO THE ACADEMY?
00:21:22:00	00:21:24:00	DO WE KNOW YET WHAT OUR PLAN IS
00:21:24:00	00:21:27:00	ON THAT THE THE COMMISSIONER
00:21:27:00	00:21:30:00	HAS THE ABILITY TO APPOINT UP
00:21:30:00	00:21:31:00	TO A THIRD PER CLASS SO IT
00:21:31:00	00:21:34:00	DEPENDS ON THE SIZE OF THE
00:21:34:00	00:21:34:00	CLASS.
00:21:34:00	00:21:36:00	BUT YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE A GOOD
00:21:36:00	00:21:38:00	APPLICANT OR WE HAVE THE
00:21:38:00	00:21:39:00	ABILITY TO IMPACT EACH CLASS
00:21:39:00	00:21:40:00	MOVING FORWARD FOR THE NEXT
00:21:40:00	00:21:42:00	THREE OR FIVE YEARS, OK, SO
00:21:42:00	00:21:46:00	AROUND 11 OR 12 FROM EACH CADET
00:21:46:00	00:21:46:00	PROGRAM COULD BE SELECTED I
00:21:46:00	00:21:49:00	WOULD SAY CLOSER TO MAYBE A
00:21:49:00	00:21:50:00	NUMBER OF 15 TO 20.
00:21:50:00	00:21:51:00	YEAH YEAH.

00:21:53:00	00:21:54:00	AND THEN ON THE RESIDENCY IS
00:21:54:00	00:21:58:00	THERE A PUSH I KNOW THAT I MEAN
00:21:58:00	00:22:00:00	I'M A STRONG SUPPORTER OF THE
00:22:00:00	00:22:01:00	RESIDENCY PROGRAM AND MAKING
00:22:01:00	00:22:04:00	SURE THAT CITY JOBS ARE GOING
00:22:04:00	00:22:05:00	TO CITY KIDS.
00:22:05:00	00:22:06:00	I KNOW THAT WE DO HAVE CONCERNS

00:22:13:00	00:22:16:00	OF LIVING AND THERE'S THE LACK
00:22:16:00	00:22:17:00	OF A POOL OF PEOPLE TO
00:22:17:00	00:22:18:00	INTERVIEW.
00:22:18:00	00:22:21:00	BUT I FEEL LIKE THE FIRE

00:22:33:00	00:22:33:00	FORTUNATE.

00:24:04:00	00:24:06:00	SAFETY AGENCY BUT THEY GO
00:24:06:00	00:24:08:00	INSIDE THE BUILDING.
00:24:08:00	00:24:09:00	THE CHIEF IS OUTSIDE.
00:24:09:00	00:24:12:00	HE SUMS IT UP WHAT'S GOING ON?

00:24:13:00	00:24:14:00	IT'S AN IMPORTANT ROLE
00:24:14:00	00:24:16:00	CURRENTLY THAT GUY IS NOT

00:24:16:00	00:24:17:00	THAT MAN OR WOMAN IS NOT THERE
00:24:17:00	00:24:20:00	FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE HE HAS
00:24:20:00	00:24:21:00	TO COME FROM ANOTHER PART
00:24:21:00	00:24:24:00	OF THE CITY AND I HOPE AND
00:24:24:00	00:24:25:00	NOTHING HAPPENS I'M HOPING THE
00:24:25:00	00:24:26:00	CITY COUNCIL AGREES WITH US
00:24:26:00	00:24:27:00	THAT IT'S AN IMPORTANT

00:24:40:00	00:24:43:00	COMMISSIONER, LET ME GO ON TO
00:24:43:00	00:24:44:00	MARCINKUS THE THE HEADQUARTERS
00:24:44:00	00:24:47:00	AT AT THE FIGHT FIRE DEPARTMENT
00:24:47:00	00:24:48:00	IN MY OPINION, YOU KNOW YOU
00:24:48:00	00:24:50:00	KNOW I LOVE THE FIRE
00:24:50:00	00:24:50:00	DEPARTMENT.
00:24:50:00	00:24:51:00	I THINK THE BUILDING ITSELF IS
00:24:51:00	00:24:54:00	AN EMBARRASSMENT THE OUTSIDE
00:24:54:00	00:24:55:00	OF THE BUILDING NOW IT'S
00:24:55:00	00:24:58:00	FALLING DOWN.
00:24:58:00	00:24:59:00	MANY OF YOU KNOW MY UNCLE DENIS
00:24:59:00	00:24:59:00	THAT WORKED OVER IN THE
00:24:59:00	00:25:01:00	MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT UNSAFE
00:25:01:00	00:25:05:00	REALLY OVER IN THAT AREA.
00:25:05:00	00:25:06:00	BUT THE PEOPLE THAT DO WORK
00:25:06:00	00:25:09:00	THERE, WHAT CAN WHAT ARE YOU
00:25:09:00	00:25:10:00	DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY
00:25:10:00	00:25:13:00	ARE SAFE, THEY ARE HEALTHY,
00:25:13:00	00:25:13:00	THEY'RE WORKING IN AN
00:25:13:00	00:25:14:00	ENVIRONMENT THAT'S HEALTHY FOR
00:25:14:00	00:25:17:00	THEM AND THEIR FAMILY.
00:25:17:00	00:25:18:00	OH, THERE'S MANY THINGS
00:25:18:00	00:25:21:00	RECENTLY THE BEST MOVE THAT
00:25:21:00	00:25:22:00	HAPPENED I DON'T KNOW IF YOU
00:25:22:00	00:25:24:00	CAN SAY WE WERE INVOLVED IT WAS
00:25:24:00	00:25:25:00	MOVING THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE OUT
00:25:25:00	00:25:26:00	IN THE STREET TO THE SIDE
00:25:26:00	00:25:28:00	STREET ATKINSONS STREET WHEN
00:25:28:00	00:25:29:00	THEY WERE ON THE MAIN STREET IT
00:25:29:00	00:25:32:00	SEEMED TO BE MORE VIOLENT
00:25:32:00	00:25:33:00	TOWARDS US.
00:25:33:00	00:25:34:00	THEY WERE BREAKING UP THROWING
00:25:34:00	00:25:36:00	ROCKS THROUGH THE WINDOW.
00:25:36:00	00:25:37:00	THEY WERE A LOT OF NEEDLES ON
00:25:37:00	00:25:37:00	THE GROUND.
00:25:37:00	00:25:39:00	I HAD TO PUT A FENCE UP IN
00:25:39:00	00:25:40:00	FRONT OF OUR WHOLE PROPERTY
00:25:40:00	00:25:41:00	SINCE THEY MOVED THEY ONLY COME
00:25:41:00	00:25:44:00	UP ONCE A DAY WHEN THEY CLEANED
00:25:44:00	00:25:44:00	THAT AREA.
00:25:44:00	00:25:48:00	SO IT'S IT SEEMS A LITTLE
00:25:48:00	00:25:48:00	SAFER.
00:25:48:00	00:25:50:00	I TOOK DOWN THE BIG FENCE I HAD
00:25:50:00	00:25:52:00	ENCOMPASSED IN THE WHOLE FRONT
00:25:52:00	00:25:53:00	OF THE BUILDING AND I HAD TWO
00:25:53:00	00:25:56:00	GATES INSTALLED SO THEY CAN'T
00:25:56:00	00:25:56:00	GET IN THE PARKING LOT.
00:25:56:00	00:25:57:00	THOSE ARE CLOSED AT FIVE
00:25:57:00	00:25:59:00	O'CLOCK AND LOCKED EVERY NIGHT
00:25:59:00	00:25:59:00	.
00:25:59:00	00:26:03:00	BUT YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S
00:26:03:00	00:26:04:00	IMPROVED SINCE THEY MOVED
00:26:04:00	00:26:04:00	AROUND THE CORNER.
00:26:04:00	00:26:07:00	THE CITY'S BEEN HELPFUL.
00:26:07:00	00:26:08:00	THEY AGREED TO MOVE THE CROWD
00:26:08:00	00:26:09:00	AROUND THE CORNER.
00:26:09:00	00:26:11:00	THE VIOLENCE TOWARDS US HAS
00:26:11:00	00:26:12:00	SLOWED DOWN A LOT.
00:26:12:00	00:26:14:00	SO WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT
00:26:14:00	00:26:14:00	DIRECTION.
00:26:14:00	00:26:15:00	I THINK WITH THIS I AGREE WITH
00:26:15:00	00:26:19:00	YOU AND I KNEW YOUR UNCLE.
00:26:19:00	00:26:20:00	HE DID A GREAT JOB MAINTAINING
00:26:20:00	00:26:21:00	THE BUILDINGS.
00:26:21:00	00:26:22:00	THE BUILDING IS PRETTY RUN DOWN
00:26:22:00	00:26:22:00	.
00:26:22:00	00:26:23:00	IT WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE FOR
00:26:23:00	00:26:26:00	ANOTHER CITY FACILITY IF WE
00:26:26:00	00:26:27:00	EVER GOT LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET A
00:26:27:00	00:26:28:00	NEW ONE SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE
00:26:28:00	00:26:31:00	CITY TO BE FANTASTIC.
00:26:31:00	00:26:31:00	YEAH, I AGREE WITH THE
00:26:31:00	00:26:32:00	COMMISSIONER.
00:26:32:00	00:26:35:00	I THINK THE AND ONE EFFECT
00:26:35:00	00:26:37:00	OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ON AH IS AH
00:26:37:00	00:26:38:00	EMPLOYMENT.
00:26:38:00	00:26:39:00	THE CIVILIANS DO NOT WANT TO
00:26:39:00	00:26:39:00	WORK THERE.
00:26:39:00	00:26:42:00	THEY'RE NOT HIGHLY PAID SO IT'S
00:26:42:00	00:26:43:00	THEY SHOULD GET COMBAT PAY FOR
00:26:43:00	00:26:46:00	COMING IN EVERY DAY AND THEY
00:26:46:00	00:26:46:00	PAY THEM VERY LOW SO IT'S VERY
00:26:46:00	00:26:49:00	DIFFICULT TO FILL VACANT
00:26:49:00	00:26:50:00	POSITIONS BECAUSE OF THAT
00:26:50:00	00:26:51:00	LOCATION WHERE THE HEADQUARTERS
00:26:51:00	00:26:53:00	IS.
00:26:53:00	00:26:54:00	THANK YOU COMMISSIONER.
00:26:54:00	00:26:57:00	WE WE CERTAINLY DESERVE THIS
00:26:57:00	00:26:58:00	CITY DESERVES A STATE OF THE
00:26:58:00	00:27:00:00	ART FIRE HEADQUARTERS.
00:27:00:00	00:27:01:00	I KNOW YOU SUPPORT THAT.
00:27:01:00	00:27:04:00	WE TALKED BRIEFLY ABOUT THE
00:27:04:00	00:27:05:00	POTENTIAL FOR FIRE PRESENCE IN
00:27:05:00	00:27:08:00	THE SOUTH BOSTON WATERFRONT.
00:27:08:00	00:27:09:00	THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP
00:27:09:00	00:27:12:00	AND ADVOCACY.
00:27:12:00	00:27:13:00	THANK YOU FOR THE FIRE
00:27:13:00	00:27:14:00	DEPARTMENT.
00:27:14:00	00:27:16:00	THANK YOU FOR THE THE MEN AND
00:27:16:00	00:27:17:00	WOMEN OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
00:27:17:00	00:27:20:00	FOR NEVER STOP THE ADVOCATING
00:27:20:00	00:27:21:00	FOR THAT AS WELL, INCLUDING
00:27:21:00	00:27:25:00	MEMBERS OF MEMBERS OF LOCAL 718
00:27:25:00	00:27:27:00	AS WELL.
00:27:27:00	00:27:28:00	COMMISSIONER, WE TALKED ABOUT
00:27:28:00	00:27:31:00	MINIMUM STAFFING LEVELS AT
00:27:31:00	00:27:32:00	SPECIALTY SUPPORT UNIT.
00:27:32:00	00:27:36:00	NOW TECHNICAL RESCUE HAS MADE
00:27:36:00	00:27:39:00	SPECIAL OPERATION UNITS MINIMUM
00:27:39:00	00:27:40:00	STAFFING INCLUDING SINGLE
00:27:40:00	00:27:44:00	ENGINE COMPANIES AS WELL.
00:27:44:00	00:27:45:00	WHERE ARE WE ON THAT
00:27:45:00	00:27:47:00	COMMISSIONER?
00:27:47:00	00:27:48:00	WELL, WE PROVIDE IT BUT NOW
00:27:48:00	00:27:50:00	IT'S PROVIDED WITH OVERTIME
00:27:50:00	00:27:51:00	BECAUSE THE STAFFING LEVELS ARE
00:27:51:00	00:27:52:00	LOW.
00:27:52:00	00:27:53:00	SO WE WOULD HAVE TO IT WOULD BE
00:27:53:00	00:27:55:00	BETTER TO FIRE PERMANENT
00:27:55:00	00:27:55:00	EMPLOYEES THAN PAY OVERTIME.
00:27:55:00	00:27:57:00	SO IT'D BE GREAT IF WE COULD
00:27:57:00	00:27:59:00	GET A BIGGER DRILL CLASS.
00:27:59:00	00:28:00:00	I WAS SHOOTING FOR SIXTY FIVE
00:28:00:00	00:28:03:00	NEW MEMBERS BUT I GOT 45.
00:28:03:00	00:28:07:00	IF WE CAN CONTINUE TO SUPPORT A
00:28:07:00	00:28:08:00	BIGGER DRILL CLASS EACH TIME WE
00:28:08:00	00:28:08:00	GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO HIRE
00:28:08:00	00:28:10:00	WOULD BE FANTASTIC.
00:28:10:00	00:28:11:00	BUT OTHER THAN THAT IT HAS TO
00:28:11:00	00:28:13:00	GO TO OVERTIME BECAUSE WE ARE
00:28:13:00	00:28:14:00	THE CITY HAS MINIMUM STAFFING
00:28:14:00	00:28:17:00	ON FIRE TRUCKS AND IT AFFECTS
00:28:17:00	00:28:18:00	OUR INSURANCE RATING THE WHOLE
00:28:18:00	00:28:19:00	CITY'S INSURANCE RATING.
00:28:19:00	00:28:21:00	SO WE HAVE TO STAY AT A CERTAIN
00:28:21:00	00:28:23:00	LEVEL AND TO DO THAT WE HIRE
00:28:23:00	00:28:23:00	OVERTIME NOW TO KEEP THE
00:28:23:00	00:28:25:00	STAFFING AT THAT LEVEL AND WE
00:28:25:00	00:28:29:00	HAVE MORE LABS IN BOSTON THAN
00:28:29:00	00:28:29:00	THAN NEW YORK CITY.
00:28:29:00	00:28:32:00	DOES NEW YORK CITY FIRE
00:28:32:00	00:28:33:00	DEPARTMENT HAS MORE INSPECTORS
00:28:33:00	00:28:37:00	THAN WE DO IN BOSTON?
00:28:37:00	00:28:41:00	I KNOW THAT'S A PRIORITY FOR
00:28:41:00	00:28:42:00	ALL OF US GETTING INSPECTORS
00:28:42:00	00:28:45:00	BUT CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE ABOUT
00:28:45:00	00:28:45:00	WHAT IMPACT THIS POTENTIALLY
00:28:45:00	00:28:46:00	COULD HAVE?
00:28:46:00	00:28:49:00	NOT NOT STAYING ON TOP OF THIS,
00:28:49:00	00:28:50:00	NOT HAVING ENOUGH INSPECTORS
00:28:50:00	00:28:52:00	BUT IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE DO
00:28:52:00	00:28:53:00	EVERYTHING WE CAN TO FIND MORE
00:28:53:00	00:28:53:00	INSPECTORS.
00:28:53:00	00:28:57:00	I I ADDED TWO MORE PEOPLE TO
00:28:57:00	00:28:57:00	THE UNIT.
00:28:57:00	00:29:00:00	THERE WAS A CAPTAIN BY HIMSELF
00:29:00:00	00:29:01:00	SO I HAD A LIEUTENANT AND A
00:29:01:00	00:29:02:00	FIREFIGHTER TO THE LAB
00:29:02:00	00:29:04:00	INSPECTION THAT IS NOT ENOUGH
00:29:04:00	00:29:05:00	STAFFING TO LOOK AT ALL THE
00:29:05:00	00:29:07:00	LABS.
00:29:07:00	00:29:08:00	THE LABS IS SUCH A COMPLICATED
00:29:08:00	00:29:08:00	THING.
00:29:08:00	00:29:09:00	EVERY LAB IS PRODUCING A
00:29:09:00	00:29:12:00	DIFFERENT PRODUCT COULD BE
00:29:12:00	00:29:13:00	HAZARDOUS.
00:29:13:00	00:29:15:00	MAYBE A SIDE HAS TO SEE CERTAIN
00:29:15:00	00:29:16:00	CONTRACTORS WANT TO PUT
00:29:16:00	00:29:16:00	RESIDENTIAL ATTACHED TO THE
00:29:16:00	00:29:19:00	LABS WHICH I DON'T AGREE WITH
00:29:19:00	00:29:20:00	BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
00:29:20:00	00:29:21:00	GOING ON IN THESE LABS BUT THE
00:29:21:00	00:29:24:00	LABS ARE GROWING WITH THE REAL
00:29:24:00	00:29:26:00	ESTATE MARKET AND THE BUSINESS
00:29:26:00	00:29:27:00	IS WORKING FROM HOME.
00:29:27:00	00:29:28:00	A LOT OF THESE VACANT BUILDINGS
00:29:28:00	00:29:31:00	ARE BECOMING LABORATORIES FOR
00:29:31:00	00:29:32:00	THE UNIVERSITIES AND THE
00:29:32:00	00:29:32:00	HOSPITALS.
00:29:32:00	00:29:35:00	SO I THINK IT'S KEY THAT WE AT
00:29:35:00	00:29:36:00	LEAST DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THE
00:29:36:00	00:29:38:00	STAFF AT THE LABS DEPARTMENT IN
00:29:38:00	00:29:39:00	THE FIRE PREVENTION.
00:29:39:00	00:29:39:00	I AGREE.
00:29:39:00	00:29:43:00	I I HAVE FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES
00:29:43:00	00:29:43:00	CALL ME UP.
00:29:43:00	00:29:46:00	THEY WANT TO GO TO THE SOUTH
00:29:46:00	00:29:47:00	BOSTON WATERFRONT AND THEY SAY
00:29:47:00	00:29:50:00	TO ME COUNCIL PRESIDENT FLYNN,
00:29:50:00	00:29:51:00	WHY DO YOU TALK ABOUT

00:29:54:00	00:29:55:00	ENOUGH INSPECTORS ON THE FIRE

00:29:59:00	00:30:01:00	ENOUGH INSPECTORS.

00:31:14:00	00:31:14:00	THEY NEED TO DEMOLISH THE
00:31:14:00	00:31:15:00	BUILDING BECAUSE IT'S IT'S A
00:31:15:00	00:31:17:00	CRITICAL PIECE OF ANOTHER
00:31:17:00	00:31:18:00	DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.

00:31:44:00	00:31:45:00	THROUGH THAT BUILDING IS GOING
00:31:45:00	00:31:48:00	TO HAVE TO COME DOWN.
00:31:48:00	00:31:48:00	I'M CONCERNED BRIGHTON'S NOT
00:31:48:00	00:31:51:00	GOING TO BE PROTECTED WITH FIRE
00:31:51:00	00:31:52:00	SERVICES THAT THEY ONCE WERE.
00:31:52:00	00:31:53:00	THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
00:31:53:00	00:31:55:00	IT THE COUNCIL THAT REPRESENTS
00:31:55:00	00:31:57:00	BRIAN I KNOW I AGREE AND I'M

00:32:06:00	00:32:07:00	KNOWING WHAT'S COMING AND
00:32:07:00	00:32:10:00	WHAT'S ALREADY HAPPENED IF IN
00:32:10:00	00:32:11:00	DISTRICT NINE ALONE LIKE OUR
00:32:11:00	00:32:14:00	POPULAR WE HAVE AN 80000
00:32:14:00	00:32:18:00	POPULATION AND WE HAVE MILLIONS
00:32:18:00	00:32:19:00	OF SQUARE FEET OF NEW LAB SPACE
00:32:19:00	00:32:22:00	BEING BUILT AND I'M REALLY
00:32:22:00	00:32:23:00	GOING TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA
00:32:23:00	00:32:25:00	THAT WE NEED TO BE THINKING
00:32:25:00	00:32:25:00	ABOUT.
00:32:25:00	00:32:26:00	WE DID THE WESTERN HALF
00:32:26:00	00:32:27:00	CORRIDOR STUDY.
00:32:27:00	00:32:29:00	IT'S ALL ABOUT LABS AND
00:32:29:00	00:32:30:00	INCREASED DENSITY IN

00:32:37:00	00:32:38:00	MEDIUMS AND WE'RE GOING TO NEED
00:32:38:00	00:32:41:00	FIRE AND SO AND PUT DOWN A
00:32:41:00	00:32:42:00	MARKER AND SAY LET'S BE
00:32:42:00	00:32:44:00	PLANNING FOR A NEW FIREHOUSE
00:32:44:00	00:32:45:00	NORTH OF THE PIKE.
00:32:45:00	00:32:46:00	IT'S GOING TO SERVE WESTERN
00:32:46:00	00:32:48:00	CORRIDOR LEON BIRMINGHAM ACROSS
00:32:48:00	00:32:49:00	INTO BACON YARDS BECAUSE
00:32:49:00	00:32:53:00	GETTING CROSS FROM UNION SQUARE
00:32:53:00	00:32:57:00	AND S.A.C. FIREHOUSE AND WE'RE
00:32:57:00	00:33:00:00	OTHERWISE THERE'S NOWHERE ELSE
00:33:00:00	00:33:01:00	WE'RE BORDERING BORN NEWTON,
00:33:01:00	00:33:04:00	WATERTOWN AND CAMBRIDGE.
00:33:04:00	00:33:06:00	YOU KNOW, I KNOW THERE IS AN
00:33:06:00	00:33:06:00	EMERGENCY SITUATION WHERE YOU
00:33:06:00	00:33:09:00	CAN GET HELP FROM A NEIGHBORING
00:33:09:00	00:33:10:00	MUNICIPALITY BUT WE'RE ON OUR
00:33:10:00	00:33:10:00	OWN REALLY.
00:33:10:00	00:33:13:00	AND I THINK OF RUSH HOUR FOR
00:33:13:00	00:33:14:00	THE OTHER BOSTON FIRE APPARATUS
00:33:14:00	00:33:16:00	TO GET TO BRIGHTON THEN RUSH
00:33:16:00	00:33:17:00	IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AND THE
00:33:17:00	00:33:20:00	ACCESS ACROSS THE STREET BRIDGE
00:33:20:00	00:33:21:00	EVERY STREET BRIDGE IS VERY
00:33:21:00	00:33:22:00	NARROW AND WITH ALL THIS NEW
00:33:22:00	00:33:25:00	DEVELOPMENT IT'S GOING TO BE
00:33:25:00	00:33:26:00	REALLY DIFFICULT TO GET INTO
00:33:26:00	00:33:26:00	NORTH BRIGHTON, NORTH
00:33:26:00	00:33:29:00	CHARLESTON IN AN EMERGENCY.
00:33:29:00	00:33:30:00	SO I WOULD REALLY PUT IT ON
00:33:30:00	00:33:33:00	THEM, PUT ON A MARKER AND SAY
00:33:33:00	00:33:34:00	YES, WE NEED TO BE WE NEED TO
00:33:34:00	00:33:37:00	BE DOING THIS AND MAKING A PLAN
00:33:37:00	00:33:37:00	TO WE'RE DOING A NEIGHBORHOOD
00:33:37:00	00:33:41:00	NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND I THINK
00:33:41:00	00:33:41:00	THINKING ABOUT EMERGENCY
00:33:41:00	00:33:45:00	SERVICES INFRASTRUCTURE IS
00:33:45:00	00:33:46:00	GOING TO BE HAVE TO BE AN
00:33:46:00	00:33:46:00	IMPORTANT PIECE OF THAT
00:33:46:00	00:33:48:00	CONVERSATION.
00:33:48:00	00:33:49:00	SO YOU KNOW, I'M HERE TO
00:33:49:00	00:33:49:00	PARTNER WITH YOU FOLKS.
00:33:49:00	00:33:52:00	I WANT YOU TO PUT YOUR THINKING
00:33:52:00	00:33:53:00	HATS ON AND I THINK THEY COME
00:33:53:00	00:33:56:00	FORWARD WITH SOME PROPOSALS FOR
00:33:56:00	00:33:57:00	US SO WE CAN REALLY ADVOCATE
00:33:57:00	00:33:59:00	FOR I AGREE THAT BIG LANDLORD
00:33:59:00	00:34:00:00	OVER THERE THAT HAS THAT
00:34:00:00	00:34:01:00	ENDOWMENT THAT COULD BUY AND
00:34:01:00	00:34:04:00	SELL THIS WHOLE CITY SHOULD
00:34:04:00	00:34:05:00	PONY UP SOME FINANCES FOR THIS.
00:34:05:00	00:34:08:00	THEY REALLY SHOULD.
00:34:08:00	00:34:09:00	WHO ARE WE PROTECTING OTHER
00:34:09:00	00:34:09:00	THAN THE CITIZENS OF BRIGHTON
00:34:09:00	00:34:12:00	AND ALSO AND HARVARD UNIVERSITY
00:34:12:00	00:34:12:00	AND THEIR LABORATORIES AND ALL
00:34:12:00	00:34:15:00	THEIR CLASSROOMS ON THE BOSTON
00:34:15:00	00:34:16:00	SIDE THEY SHOULD HAVE SOME SAY
00:34:16:00	00:34:19:00	IN FINANCE IN THIS THEY SHOULD
00:34:19:00	00:34:20:00	BE A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP
00:34:20:00	00:34:23:00	FOR A FIREHOUSE.
00:34:23:00	00:34:25:00	THERE SHOULD HAVE A ROLE IN
00:34:25:00	00:34:25:00	THIS.
00:34:25:00	00:34:26:00	I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'VE GOT
00:34:26:00	00:34:27:00	AWAY THIS FIRE WITHOUT HELPING
00:34:27:00	00:34:28:00	WITH THE CITY SERVICES.
00:34:28:00	00:34:31:00	THE PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES.
00:34:31:00	00:34:32:00	THAT'S KEY TO ANY GROWTH.
00:34:32:00	00:34:36:00	WHY DO THEY GET A PASS WITH THE
00:34:36:00	00:34:36:00	KIND OF INCOME THAT THEY PULL
00:34:36:00	00:34:37:00	IN AND THEIR ENDOWMENT WITH THE
00:34:37:00	00:34:39:00	BILLIONS OF DOLLARS?
00:34:39:00	00:34:40:00	I DON'T KNOW WHO'S IN CHARGE
00:34:40:00	00:34:50:00	OF THE PLANNING FOR I DON'T
00:34:50:00	00:34:51:00	KNOW IF IT'S A CITY OR IF IT'S
00:34:51:00	00:34:52:00	HARVARD JUST SAY OH THEY DIDN'T
00:34:52:00	00:34:53:00	MENTION IT OR DON'T DON'T BRING
00:34:53:00	00:34:53:00	IT UP.
00:34:53:00	00:34:54:00	WE'LL SAVE MONEY ON IT.
00:34:54:00	00:34:55:00	BUT THIS IS TERRIBLE THAT THEY
00:34:55:00	00:34:55:00	CAN BUILD AND BUILD AND BUILD
00:34:55:00	00:34:56:00	AND TAKE RESIDENCES AWAY AND
00:34:56:00	00:34:57:00	THEY DON'T PROVIDE ANY
00:34:57:00	00:34:57:00	INFRASTRUCTURE LIKE PUBLIC
00:34:57:00	00:34:57:00	SAFETY.
00:34:57:00	00:34:58:00	THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.
00:34:58:00	00:34:59:00	YEAH.
00:34:59:00	00:35:00:00	SO THE OTHER ISSUE IS
00:35:00:00	00:35:02:00	HONORARIUMS STATION OVER THERE
00:35:02:00	00:35:06:00	IS IS IS GOING TO BE MOVED
00:35:06:00	00:35:07:00	BECAUSE OF THE DEVELOPMENTS AT
00:35:07:00	00:35:07:00	HARVARD ON SITE AS WELL.
00:35:07:00	00:35:10:00	THEY'RE GOING TO BE MOVED IN
00:35:10:00	00:35:10:00	THE NEAR FUTURE.
00:35:10:00	00:35:11:00	THEY HAVE A TEMPORARY PLACE FOR
00:35:11:00	00:35:13:00	THEM BUT ONE SCENARIO THAT I
00:35:13:00	00:35:14:00	COULD THINK ABOUT WOULD BE AN
00:35:14:00	00:35:17:00	EMERGENCY SERVICES CENTER THAT
00:35:17:00	00:35:21:00	WOULD WOULD LOOK ECHOLOCATE EMS
00:35:21:00	00:35:22:00	AND FIRE DEPARTMENT TOGETHER.
00:35:22:00	00:35:22:00	I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S
00:35:22:00	00:35:25:00	POLITICALLY OK BUT I REALLY SEE
00:35:25:00	00:35:26:00	THAT THAT MIGHT BE MIGHT BE A
00:35:26:00	00:35:27:00	SOLUTION THAT WE SHOULD BE
00:35:27:00	00:35:29:00	THINKING YEAH, THAT WOULD THAT
00:35:29:00	00:35:30:00	WOULD WORK FOR US.
00:35:30:00	00:35:31:00	I MEAN WE WORK IN TANDEM.
00:35:31:00	00:35:33:00	WE RUN TOGETHER LIKE I SAID
00:35:33:00	00:35:36:00	EARLIER, I'M NOT TRYING TO SAY
00:35:36:00	00:35:37:00	ANYTHING BAD ABOUT OTHER
00:35:37:00	00:35:38:00	AGENCIES BUT WE HAVE THE BEST
00:35:38:00	00:35:40:00	RESPONSE OF ANY PUBLIC AGENCY
00:35:40:00	00:35:41:00	IN THE CITY SO WE GET THERE EMS
00:35:41:00	00:35:45:00	A SUMMIT AT THE SAME TIME AND
00:35:45:00	00:35:45:00	THEY SHOW UP THERE.
00:35:45:00	00:35:48:00	THEY HAVE THEIR CALLS TEND TO
00:35:48:00	00:35:49:00	BE LONGER BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO
00:35:49:00	00:35:50:00	GO TO THE HOSPITAL.
00:35:50:00	00:35:51:00	THEY HAVE TO CLEAN OUT THAT
00:35:51:00	00:35:52:00	AMBULANCE.
00:35:52:00	00:35:53:00	BUT WE'RE RIGHT BACK IN
00:35:53:00	00:35:53:00	SERVICE.
00:35:53:00	00:35:54:00	WE GO RIGHT BACK TO QUARTERS.
00:35:54:00	00:35:57:00	WE'RE READY TO GO.
00:35:57:00	00:35:58:00	SO YEAH, I'D LOVE TO HAVE ANY
00:35:58:00	00:36:00:00	YOUR EMERGENCY RESPONSE TIME
00:36:00:00	00:36:01:00	SAVES LIVES.
00:36:01:00	00:36:02:00	I KNOW THAT I'VE SEEN IT IN
00:36:02:00	00:36:05:00	REALITY IN BRIGHTON THERE WAS A
00:36:05:00	00:36:07:00	FIRE IN PRUSSIA A FEW YEARS AGO
00:36:07:00	00:36:08:00	THAT THE LADDER FROM FROM ÓG
00:36:08:00	00:36:12:00	SQUARE WAS THERE WITHIN MINUTES
00:36:12:00	00:36:13:00	THEY WERE PICKING PEOPLE OFF A
00:36:13:00	00:36:16:00	WAS EXCELLENT AND ONE ONE YOUNG
00:36:16:00	00:36:16:00	PERSON DIED.
00:36:16:00	00:36:19:00	I REMEMBER BUT THEY WERE
00:36:19:00	00:36:19:00	LITERALLY GOING UP A LADDER.
00:36:19:00	00:36:23:00	THEY DIDN'T THEY JUST PUT A
00:36:23:00	00:36:26:00	REGULAR LADDER UP AND CARRIED
00:36:26:00	00:36:27:00	SOMEBODY ELSE AND THEY SAVED
00:36:27:00	00:36:27:00	LIVES.
00:36:27:00	00:36:30:00	SO IT'S VERY, VERY IMPORTANT
00:36:30:00	00:36:31:00	THE OPERATION MADAM CHAIR IS
00:36:31:00	00:36:34:00	WATCHING THE TIME HERE.
00:36:34:00	00:36:35:00	WE TALKED A LITTLE ABOUT BIKES
00:36:35:00	00:36:36:00	AND SCOOTERS AND THE CHARGING
00:36:36:00	00:36:38:00	IT IS A HAZARD ARE WE AND WE
00:36:38:00	00:36:42:00	WORKING WITH THE BTD BPA TO
00:36:42:00	00:36:46:00	SORT OF INSTITUTE SOME NEW
00:36:46:00	00:36:46:00	BUILDS TO SORT OF HAVE SOME
00:36:46:00	00:36:47:00	REQUIREMENTS TO TRY AND MAKE
00:36:47:00	00:36:50:00	THAT AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE.
00:36:50:00	00:36:51:00	AND THEN WHAT ARE WE DOING TO
00:36:51:00	00:36:52:00	EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT AN
00:36:52:00	00:36:54:00	OLDER FACILITY AND CHARGING
00:36:54:00	00:36:55:00	JUST REGULAR FOLKS PLUGGING IN
00:36:55:00	00:36:58:00	THEIR SCOOTER OR THEIR BIKE IN
00:36:58:00	00:36:59:00	THEIR GARAGE OR WHATEVER THAT I
00:36:59:00	00:37:01:00	DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON
00:37:01:00	00:37:01:00	THAT FIRE PREVENTION.
00:37:01:00	00:37:04:00	I FAILED TO ASK THEM ABOUT THAT
00:37:04:00	00:37:05:00	BUT THEY'RE ON TOP OF THAT.
00:37:05:00	00:37:07:00	WE'RE TRAINING ALL THE TIME ON
00:37:07:00	00:37:10:00	EXTINGUISHING THESE VEHICLES.
00:37:10:00	00:37:11:00	WE HAD ONE CATCH FIRE ON
00:37:11:00	00:37:12:00	BOYLSTON STREET THE OTHER DAY
00:37:12:00	00:37:14:00	AND WE HAD TO LEAVE AN ENGINE
00:37:14:00	00:37:14:00	THERE THE WHOLE TIME BECAUSE
00:37:14:00	00:37:17:00	THESE BATTERIES BLOW UP AND
00:37:17:00	00:37:18:00	KEEP ON BURNING.
00:37:18:00	00:37:21:00	SO YEAH, SO I THINK I TOLD YOU
00:37:21:00	00:37:22:00	BEFORE THAT OUR CONCERN IS WHEN
00:37:22:00	00:37:24:00	THEY TOLD THIS THING THEY TOLD
00:37:24:00	00:37:25:00	A CAR THAT WAS BURNING THEN THE
00:37:25:00	00:37:29:00	BATTERY ANOTHER CELL BLOWS UP
00:37:29:00	00:37:30:00	THEN IT GOES INTO A TOW YARD IN
00:37:30:00	00:37:32:00	BRIGHTON OR SOMEWHERE AND THEN
00:37:32:00	00:37:33:00	GASOLINE AND WE HAVE A FIRE
00:37:33:00	00:37:36:00	OF THE WHOLE AREA.
00:37:36:00	00:37:37:00	SO IT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION
00:37:37:00	00:37:40:00	THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
00:37:40:00	00:37:41:00	EVERY FIRE DEPARTMENT IS THE
00:37:41:00	00:37:41:00	NATIONAL FIRE PREVENTION
00:37:41:00	00:37:44:00	ASSOCIATION QUINSY WHO SETS THE
00:37:44:00	00:37:45:00	STANDARDS THE RIGHT AND THE
00:37:45:00	00:37:47:00	STANDARD ON THE APPROPRIATE
00:37:47:00	00:37:48:00	WAYS TO FIGHT FIRES WHEN IT
00:37:48:00	00:37:51:00	COMES TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND
00:37:51:00	00:37:52:00	I'M SURE THEY'LL INCORPORATE
00:37:52:00	00:37:52:00	STORAGE OF THEM AND WHAT TO DO
00:37:52:00	00:37:55:00	WITH THEM.
00:37:55:00	00:37:56:00	AND THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE
00:37:56:00	00:37:57:00	AND I ASK THIS QUESTION EVERY
00:37:57:00	00:37:59:00	YEAR BECAUSE ONE OF MY
00:37:59:00	00:38:02:00	CONSTITUENTS ASKS ME HOW DID WE
00:38:02:00	00:38:03:00	EVER GET THE EMERGENCY
00:38:03:00	00:38:04:00	GENERATOR AND CHESNUT OH MY GOD
00:38:04:00	00:38:07:00	I BELIEVE YOU ASKED ME THAT AND
00:38:07:00	00:38:07:00	I DIDN'T COME PREPARED.
00:38:07:00	00:38:10:00	I KNOW IT WAS ORDERED I THINK
00:38:10:00	00:38:11:00	OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN HAD IT BACK
00:38:11:00	00:38:14:00	THEN I'LL LET ME MAKE A CALL
00:38:14:00	00:38:15:00	AND I'LL FIND OUT YOU KNOW WHEN
00:38:15:00	00:38:18:00	THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND THEY DO
00:38:18:00	00:38:19:00	IT OVER THERE THEY HAVE THIS
00:38:19:00	00:38:20:00	CONSTITUENT BOX DOWN TO THE
00:38:20:00	00:38:22:00	FIREHOUSE AND SEE THAT THE
00:38:22:00	00:38:23:00	LIGHTS ARE ON AND THEN SHE SAYS
00:38:23:00	00:38:25:00	AND THEN THE FIRE FIRE THE FIRE
00:38:25:00	00:38:30:00	STAFF HAVE TO CRANK THE DOOR
00:38:30:00	00:38:30:00	BECAUSE THAT'S I JUST DON'T
00:38:30:00	00:38:31:00	FEEL ALIVE.
00:38:31:00	00:38:33:00	I BELIEVE THE OTHER TWO I THINK
00:38:33:00	00:38:33:00	YES.
00:38:33:00	00:38:36:00	SO MY PREDECESSOR MANAGED TO
00:38:36:00	00:38:37:00	GET THIS WONDERFUL EMERGENCY
00:38:37:00	00:38:38:00	GENERATOR BUT IT'S NEVER BEEN
00:38:38:00	00:38:40:00	HOOKED UP.
00:38:40:00	00:38:41:00	YES.
00:38:41:00	00:38:42:00	THEY WERE GOING ON A LONG TIME.
00:38:42:00	00:38:42:00	YES.
00:38:42:00	00:38:43:00	OH, I'LL CHECK IN.
00:38:43:00	00:38:43:00	I APOLOGIZE.
00:38:43:00	00:38:45:00	I SHOULD NOT TO WORRY.
00:38:45:00	00:38:46:00	I'LL GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT
00:38:46:00	00:38:46:00	ONE.
00:38:46:00	00:38:48:00	IT'S SORT OF A TRIVIA QUESTION
00:38:48:00	00:38:49:00	I ASKED OVER HERE.
00:38:49:00	00:38:52:00	YEAH, NO THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION
00:38:52:00	00:38:52:00	.
00:38:52:00	00:38:53:00	IT SHOULD BE DONE.
00:38:53:00	00:38:54:00	IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YEAH.
00:38:54:00	00:38:55:00	I THINK WE HAVE HALF OF THE
00:38:55:00	00:38:56:00	FIREHOUSES DO NOT HAVE
00:38:56:00	00:38:56:00	EMERGENCY GENERATORS.
00:38:56:00	00:38:57:00	IT'S A BIG EXPENSE I BELIEVE
00:38:57:00	00:39:00:00	IT'S IN THIS YEAR'S WHY DID I
00:39:00:00	00:39:00:00	THINK IT'S 250000 FOR A
00:39:00:00	00:39:03:00	FIREHOUSE AND SO AT THE THIRTY
00:39:03:00	00:39:04:00	THREE FIREHOUSES AND ONLY HALF
00:39:04:00	00:39:07:00	OF THEM HAVE IT WE HAVE QUITE
00:39:07:00	00:39:08:00	EXPENSIVE WE HAVE ONE THAT WE
00:39:08:00	00:39:09:00	TECHNICALLY DON'T HAVE ONE IF
00:39:09:00	00:39:09:00	IT'S NOT HOOKED UP.
00:39:09:00	00:39:11:00	YEAH CORRECT YOU DO HAVE ONE
00:39:11:00	00:39:12:00	THAT'S A NICE ONE I THINK
00:39:12:00	00:39:15:00	THAT'S NOT VERY GOOD SO I'D
00:39:15:00	00:39:15:00	REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
00:39:15:00	00:39:16:00	I'LL GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT.
00:39:16:00	00:39:17:00	I APOLOGIZE.
00:39:17:00	00:39:19:00	YEAH MADAM CHAIR THAT'S ALL I
00:39:19:00	00:39:19:00	HAVE.

00:39:20:00	00:39:20:00	THANK YOU.
00:39:20:00	00:39:25:00	EVEN I'M NOT SURE WHO ON THE
00:39:25:00	00:39:29:00	PANEL CAN ANSWER MY QUESTIONS
00:39:29:00	00:39:30:00	BUT I'LL JUST GO DOWN MY LIST

00:39:33:00	00:39:34:00	ANSWER I CAN JUST FEEL FREE TO
00:39:34:00	00:39:36:00	TURN ON THEM THERE MIKE SO THE
00:39:36:00	00:39:40:00	DEPARTMENT SPEND FIFTY PERCENT
00:39:40:00	00:39:44:00	ABOUT FIFTY PERCENT OF THE
00:39:44:00	00:39:47:00	INDEMNIFICATION BUDGET IN THE
00:39:47:00	00:39:48:00	AMOUNT OF ONE MILLION SEVEN
00:39:48:00	00:39:51:00	HUNDRED SIXTY SIX THOUSAND TWO

00:39:52:00	00:39:55:00	SITUATIONS AT THIS BUDGET WOULD
00:39:55:00	00:39:59:00	BE USED FOR CHIEF
00:39:59:00	00:39:59:00	COLLABORATION?
00:39:59:00	00:40:06:00	MARSHALL THE IDENTIFICATION I
00:40:06:00	00:40:14:00	SEE HERE IF WE SPEND FIFTY
00:40:14:00	00:40:15:00	PERCENT OF IT I HAVE FIFTY
00:40:15:00	00:40:17:00	POINT FOUR SIX OR SIX PERCENT
00:40:17:00	00:40:21:00	THAT'S SPENT SO I HATE TO DO
00:40:21:00	00:40:22:00	THIS TO YOU COUNCILOR BUT WE
00:40:22:00	00:40:25:00	LOST OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR TWO
00:40:25:00	00:40:26:00	MONTHS AGO AND SHE WOULD HAVE
00:40:26:00	00:40:27:00	BEEN BETTER OFF ANSWERING THIS
00:40:27:00	00:40:27:00	THAN US.
00:40:27:00	00:40:33:00	WE'RE NOT FINANCE PEOPLE SO I
00:40:33:00	00:40:34:00	DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR YOU.
00:40:34:00	00:40:37:00	I CAN GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT.
00:40:37:00	00:40:44:00	OK, SHOULD I HOLD ALL MY BUDGET
00:40:44:00	00:40:44:00	QUESTIONS?
00:40:44:00	00:40:45:00	YOU CAN GIVE US A SHOT.
00:40:45:00	00:40:47:00	WE'LL TRY THE BEST WE CAN WITH
00:40:47:00	00:40:51:00	THEM.
00:40:51:00	00:40:52:00	SO THIS IS A RECOMMENDATION FOR
00:40:52:00	00:40:55:00	A BUDGET OF EIGHTY THOUSAND
00:40:55:00	00:40:56:00	DOLLARS FOR AUTOMOTIVE
00:40:56:00	00:40:58:00	EQUIPMENT.
00:40:58:00	00:40:59:00	NO FUNDS FROM THIS BUDGET WERE
00:40:59:00	00:41:03:00	USED IN EFSI TWENTY THREE.
00:41:03:00	00:41:04:00	IS THERE A PERSISTENT NEED FOR
00:41:04:00	00:41:06:00	THIS LINE ITEM?
00:41:06:00	00:41:07:00	OH THERE'S A NEED YEAH.
00:41:07:00	00:41:14:00	WE REPLACE THREE ENGINES TO
00:41:14:00	00:41:15:00	LADDER'S EVERY YEAR AND WE ALSO
00:41:15:00	00:41:17:00	REPLACE ABOUT TEN CARS.
00:41:17:00	00:41:18:00	WE HAVE A FLEET
00:41:18:00	00:41:21:00	OF APPROXIMATELY 300 CARS AND
00:41:21:00	00:41:22:00	THEY THEY WEAR OUT THEY HAVE TO
00:41:22:00	00:41:25:00	BE REPLACED SO WE DO THAT EVERY
00:41:25:00	00:41:26:00	YEAR.
00:41:26:00	00:41:27:00	I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S SAYING
00:41:27:00	00:41:29:00	THAT WE DIDN'T USE ANY OF THAT
00:41:29:00	00:41:30:00	UNLESS THEY CAME FROM ANOTHER
00:41:30:00	00:41:31:00	PART OF THE BUDGET.
00:41:31:00	00:41:33:00	BUT WE PURCHASED CARS I KNOW WE
00:41:33:00	00:41:36:00	DID LAST YEAR OK, THIS COMES
00:41:36:00	00:41:40:00	FROM THE RAW DATA THAT WE GET
00:41:40:00	00:41:41:00	FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT.
00:41:41:00	00:41:44:00	BUT I THINK PERHAPS SOMETIMES
00:41:44:00	00:41:45:00	THINGS ARE NOT UPDATED BUT ALSO
00:41:45:00	00:41:49:00	FROM THE CITY'S BUDGET BOOK AND
00:41:49:00	00:41:49:00	THE RAW DATA.
00:41:49:00	00:41:52:00	YEAH, I THINK THAT'S NOT
00:41:52:00	00:41:52:00	ACCURATE TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
00:41:52:00	00:41:56:00	OK, HAS THE BOSTON FIRE
00:41:56:00	00:41:56:00	DEPARTMENT IDENTIFIED ANY AREAS
00:41:56:00	00:42:00:00	OF CONCERN OR CRITICAL NEEDS
00:42:00:00	00:42:00:00	THAT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL
00:42:00:00	00:42:00:00	FUNDING?
00:42:00:00	00:42:04:00	YEAH, I I HAVE A LIST HERE.
00:42:04:00	00:42:06:00	THERE'S NEW FIREHOSES THAT I'M
00:42:06:00	00:42:07:00	EMBARRASSED THAT WE WORK IN
00:42:07:00	00:42:11:00	THESE FIREHOSES.
00:42:11:00	00:42:11:00	EIGHTEEN AND DORCHESTER IT WAS
00:42:11:00	00:42:14:00	BUILT IN THE EIGHTEEN HUNDREDS
00:42:14:00	00:42:15:00	.
00:42:15:00	00:42:15:00	IT'S PRACTICALLY FALLEN DOWN.
00:42:15:00	00:42:18:00	IT'S IN TERRIBLE CONDITION.
00:42:18:00	00:42:18:00	I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO GET
00:42:18:00	00:42:22:00	THAT BUILDING REPLACED I THINK
00:42:22:00	00:42:23:00	THE DORCHESTER COMMUNITY
00:42:23:00	00:42:24:00	DESERVES A BETTER FIREHOUSE
00:42:24:00	00:42:24:00	THAN THEY HAVE.
00:42:24:00	00:42:27:00	WE ARE REPLACING ONE IN ANOTHER
00:42:27:00	00:42:28:00	SECTION OF DORCHESTER BUT
00:42:28:00	00:42:30:00	ENGINE EIGHTEEN SERVES A VERY
00:42:30:00	00:42:30:00	DENSELY POPULATED AREA.
00:42:30:00	00:42:33:00	IT HAS ONE SQUARE AND THE
00:42:33:00	00:42:34:00	QUARTERS THEY'RE ARE JUST NOT
00:42:34:00	00:42:35:00	ADEQUATE.
00:42:35:00	00:42:38:00	ENGINE 37 OVER IT ON HUNTINGTON
00:42:38:00	00:42:42:00	I HAVE ANOTHER OLDER BUILDING
00:42:42:00	00:42:42:00	HAS TO BE EARLY.
00:42:42:00	00:42:46:00	NINETEEN HUNDREDS THAT NEEDS TO
00:42:46:00	00:42:47:00	BE REPLACED THAT ONE I'M HOPING
00:42:47:00	00:42:49:00	FOR THE LAST TIME I WAS YOU
00:42:49:00	00:42:50:00	KNOW THE LAST TIME I WAS
00:42:50:00	00:42:53:00	REPAIRED 37 NO I DON'T KNOW IT
00:42:53:00	00:42:57:00	WAS PROBABLY RENOVATED THIRTY
00:42:57:00	00:42:57:00	YEARS AGO.
00:42:57:00	00:42:58:00	THIS IS THE ONE ON HUNTINGTON
00:42:58:00	00:42:59:00	YOU SAID.
00:42:59:00	00:43:01:00	YEAH IT'S IN TOUGH SHAPE AND
00:43:01:00	00:43:02:00	WENTWORTH IS CHOMPING AT THE
00:43:02:00	00:43:05:00	BIT TO GET THE PROPERTY SO WE'D
00:43:05:00	00:43:06:00	LIKE TO SELL IT TO THEM AND
00:43:06:00	00:43:07:00	HAVE THEM BUILD SON OF A HOUSE
00:43:07:00	00:43:09:00	IN A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP
00:43:09:00	00:43:10:00	THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC WOULD
00:43:10:00	00:43:13:00	BE MINIMAL COST TO THE CITY.
00:43:13:00	00:43:14:00	IT'S JUST DEALING WITH A
00:43:14:00	00:43:16:00	UNIVERSITY LIKE THAT THAT HAVE
00:43:16:00	00:43:17:00	IT ACROSS THE RIVER.
00:43:17:00	00:43:20:00	THEY'RE NOT TOO OPEN TO GIVING
00:43:20:00	00:43:21:00	MONEY OUT, YOU KNOW, BUT THEY
00:43:21:00	00:43:24:00	WANT THE PROPERTY THEY
00:43:24:00	00:43:24:00	APPROACHED US SEVERAL TIMES.
00:43:24:00	00:43:25:00	I THINK THAT'S IN DISTRICT
00:43:25:00	00:43:25:00	SEVEN.
00:43:25:00	00:43:28:00	HAPPY IF I CAN HELP IT IS YEAH.
00:43:28:00	00:43:31:00	YEAH THAT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE
00:43:31:00	00:43:32:00	CAN GET A MEETING WITH
00:43:32:00	00:43:35:00	WENTWORTH ENGINE THREE IN THE
00:43:35:00	00:43:36:00	SOUTH END IT WAS BUILT IN 1941.
00:43:36:00	00:43:39:00	IT'S IN TOUGH SHAPE OBVIOUSLY
00:43:39:00	00:43:40:00	AS COUNCILOR FLYNN SAID, THE
00:43:40:00	00:43:43:00	SEA PORT DISTRICT.
00:43:43:00	00:43:44:00	WE ALSO HAD A MEETING WITH THE
00:43:44:00	00:43:47:00	I'M SORRY SOUTHEND ENGINE THREE
00:43:47:00	00:43:48:00	IT'S RIGHT BEHIND THE CATHEDRAL
00:43:48:00	00:43:51:00	AND HARRISON HAVE HIS UNCLE
00:43:51:00	00:43:51:00	WORK THERE.
00:43:51:00	00:43:52:00	IT'S A GREAT FIREHOUSE.
00:43:52:00	00:43:53:00	I WAS THE CAPTAIN THERE MYSELF.
00:43:53:00	00:43:54:00	IT'S A SINGLE ENGINE WITH ONE
00:43:54:00	00:43:58:00	SPECIALTY TRUCK IN IT AND IT'S
00:43:58:00	00:43:59:00	MY BELIEF I THINK I'VE SAID
00:43:59:00	00:44:02:00	THIS BEFORE IS THIS A POLICE
00:44:02:00	00:44:03:00	STATION BESIDE IT?
00:44:03:00	00:44:03:00	RIGHT.
00:44:03:00	00:44:06:00	SO THERE'S A BASKETBALL SO WE
00:44:06:00	00:44:07:00	LEAVE THEM IN THAT FIREHOUSE.
00:44:07:00	00:44:10:00	WE BUILD A NEW FIREHOUSE ON THE
00:44:10:00	00:44:11:00	BASKETBALL COURT AND THEN WE
00:44:11:00	00:44:12:00	TEAR DOWN THE FIREHOUSE AND PUT
00:44:12:00	00:44:13:00	THE BASKETBALL COURT WHERE THE
00:44:13:00	00:44:14:00	FIREHOUSE WAS BECAUSE THE
00:44:14:00	00:44:15:00	FIREHOUSE IS ON A CORNER, IT'S
00:44:15:00	00:44:18:00	TOUGH TO GET THE APPARATUS IN
00:44:18:00	00:44:19:00	AND OUT WITH, YOU KNOW, FIVE
00:44:19:00	00:44:21:00	INTERSECTIONS COMING TOGETHER
00:44:21:00	00:44:22:00	AND IT'S A VERY NEEDED
00:44:22:00	00:44:25:00	FIREHOUSE BECAUSE THE HIGHWAY
00:44:25:00	00:44:26:00	AND THE OTHER THING I ALWAYS
00:44:26:00	00:44:29:00	THOUGHT ABOUT WAS THE CATHEDRAL
00:44:29:00	00:44:30:00	SUCH A BIG BUILDING IT CREATES
00:44:30:00	00:44:34:00	A WIND TUNNEL AND IF WE EVER
00:44:34:00	00:44:35:00	PUT ONE OF THOSE WINDMILLS ON
00:44:35:00	00:44:38:00	THE ROOF BECAUSE I USED TO HAVE
00:44:38:00	00:44:39:00	TO CHANGE THE FLAG EVERY TWO OR
00:44:39:00	00:44:39:00	THREE MONTHS BECAUSE THE WIND
00:44:39:00	00:44:41:00	JUST TORE THE FLAGS UP ON THE
00:44:41:00	00:44:42:00	ROOF, WE COULD CREATE ENERGY
00:44:42:00	00:44:45:00	FOR THE POLICE STATION IN THE
00:44:45:00	00:44:46:00	FIREHOUSE THERE AND WE WE LOOK
00:44:46:00	00:44:49:00	LIKE STARS WITH THE
00:44:49:00	00:44:50:00	ENVIRONMENTAL WINDMILL CROWD.
00:44:50:00	00:44:50:00	YEAH, YEAH.
00:44:50:00	00:44:53:00	THAT'S JUST MY BELIEF.
00:44:53:00	00:44:54:00	YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE FANTASTIC
00:44:54:00	00:44:57:00	FREE ELECTRICITY FOR TWO CITY
00:44:57:00	00:44:57:00	BUILDINGS.
00:44:57:00	00:44:58:00	I LIKE YOUR THINKING.
00:44:58:00	00:45:00:00	I DON'T THINK ANYBODY
00:45:00:00	00:45:01:00	COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT YOU KNOW
00:45:01:00	00:45:04:00	I REALLY BUT THAT THAT'S WHY
00:45:04:00	00:45:05:00	THE IN THE CHARLESTON WE HAD A
00:45:05:00	00:45:08:00	PLANNING BOARD MEETING THE
00:45:08:00	00:45:09:00	CHIEFS AND I THE OTHER DAY
00:45:09:00	00:45:10:00	CHARLESTON HAS SOME SERIOUS
00:45:10:00	00:45:13:00	DEVELOPMENT PLANS THAT IF THEY
00:45:13:00	00:45:14:00	DO THAT IT'S GOING TO INCREASE
00:45:14:00	00:45:17:00	THE POPULATION OF THEIR ENGINE.
00:45:17:00	00:45:18:00	IS THAT THAT'S ENGINE THIRTY
00:45:18:00	00:45:19:00	TWO.
00:45:19:00	00:45:20:00	SO BECAUSE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
00:45:20:00	00:45:23:00	HAS MUTUAL AGREEMENTS WITH
00:45:23:00	00:45:24:00	EVERYBODY THAT ENCORE HOTEL WE
00:45:24:00	00:45:27:00	WOULD GO TO THAT UNCLOAKED WELL
00:45:27:00	00:45:28:00	EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN EVERETT AND
00:45:28:00	00:45:29:00	IT'S JUST BUILDING UP TO OVER
00:45:29:00	00:45:32:00	THERE THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE
00:45:32:00	00:45:32:00	DOWN THE WHOLE RUTHERFORD.
00:45:32:00	00:45:35:00	THEY'RE GOING TO REDUCE THE
00:45:35:00	00:45:36:00	SIZE OF BUNKER HILL COMMUNITY
00:45:36:00	00:45:37:00	COLLEGE AND BUILD MIXED
00:45:37:00	00:45:40:00	LABORATORIES AND RESIDENTIAL
00:45:40:00	00:45:41:00	OVER THERE SO THE POPULATION IS
00:45:41:00	00:45:41:00	GOING TO INCREASE OVER THERE.
00:45:41:00	00:45:44:00	THERE'S TWO HOUSES.
00:45:44:00	00:45:45:00	ONE HAS AN ENGINE AND A LADDER.
00:45:45:00	00:45:46:00	THE OTHER ONE JUST HAS AN
00:45:46:00	00:45:48:00	ENGINE SO THEY NEED HELP OVER
00:45:48:00	00:45:48:00	THERE.
00:45:48:00	00:45:50:00	THESE AREAS LIKE
00:45:50:00	00:45:51:00	COUNCILOR BRING THE THERE'S
00:45:51:00	00:45:55:00	ISOLATED AREAS IN THE CITY AND
00:45:55:00	00:45:56:00	BRIGHTON AND AUSTIN IS ONE
00:45:56:00	00:45:59:00	OF THEM EAST BOSTON IS ANOTHER
00:45:59:00	00:45:59:00	ONE.
00:45:59:00	00:46:00:00	CHARLESTOWN IS ANOTHER ONE
00:46:00:00	00:46:02:00	SOUTH BOSTON AND NOW THEY HAVE
00:46:02:00	00:46:03:00	ONE OR TWO FIREHOUSES BUT THERE
00:46:03:00	00:46:06:00	HELP FROM OTHER FIREHOUSES IT'S
00:46:06:00	00:46:08:00	NOT THERE SO THEY'RE ON THEIR
00:46:08:00	00:46:11:00	OWN THOSE LUCKILY THOSE MEMBERS
00:46:11:00	00:46:12:00	TO THAT LADDER UP AND GOT THE
00:46:12:00	00:46:14:00	PERSON OFF THE ROOF IF THEY
00:46:14:00	00:46:15:00	WERE BUSY AND THEY HAD TO COME
00:46:15:00	00:46:19:00	FROM BOSTON PROPER IF YOU WILL
00:46:19:00	00:46:20:00	TO HELP, THERE'D BE A LONG WAY
00:46:20:00	00:46:21:00	OFF WAITING FOR HELP.
00:46:21:00	00:46:22:00	SO IT'S IDEAL TO HAVE AS MANY
00:46:22:00	00:46:23:00	FIREHOUSES IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AN
00:46:23:00	00:46:26:00	ISOLATED NEIGHBORHOOD THAT
00:46:26:00	00:46:27:00	SOUTH BOSTON'S A PENINSULA YOU
00:46:27:00	00:46:30:00	GET IN ONE WAY YOU GET OUT THE
00:46:30:00	00:46:31:00	OTHER RIGHT AND YOU HAVE THE
00:46:31:00	00:46:31:00	HIGHWAY.
00:46:31:00	00:46:33:00	YOU CAN'T GET OVER THERE IF YOU
00:46:33:00	00:46:35:00	SO THE HELP HAS TO BE THERE.
00:46:35:00	00:46:37:00	SO I MEAN I'M A BIG ADVOCATE
00:46:37:00	00:46:37:00	FOR NEW FIREHOUSES.
00:46:37:00	00:46:38:00	WE NEED THEM.
00:46:38:00	00:46:41:00	IT'S IT'S TERRIBLE THE WAY IT'S
00:46:41:00	00:46:45:00	GOING BUT THAT'S JUST ME THAT I
00:46:45:00	00:46:47:00	THINK IF YOU HAD TO PICK ONE
00:46:47:00	00:46:49:00	NOT BOSTON BECAUSE THEY'RE
00:46:49:00	00:46:49:00	GETTING SOMETHING.
00:46:49:00	00:46:52:00	YEAH BUT IF YOU HAD TO PICK ONE
00:46:52:00	00:46:54:00	WHICH ONE WOULD BE A TOP WOULD
00:46:54:00	00:46:55:00	YOU WANT TO REPLACE ONE OR A
00:46:55:00	00:46:59:00	NEW ONE THAT'S EXISTING.
00:46:59:00	00:47:00:00	NO IF YOU WANT TO FIX SOMETHING
00:47:00:00	00:47:01:00	THAT'S ALREADY BROKEN ENGINE
00:47:01:00	00:47:03:00	EIGHTEEN ASHMONT IT'S A SAD
00:47:03:00	00:47:04:00	BUILDING BUT THAT'S YOUR
00:47:04:00	00:47:07:00	PRIORITY.
00:47:07:00	00:47:08:00	IT'S A BIG PRIORITY YEAH I
00:47:08:00	00:47:09:00	PERSONALLY KNOW MEMBERS OF THAT
00:47:09:00	00:47:11:00	BUILDING THAT HAVE BEEN
00:47:11:00	00:47:12:00	STRICKEN WITH CANCER AND I
00:47:12:00	00:47:15:00	DON'T KNOW IF IT'S FROM A
00:47:15:00	00:47:16:00	BUILDING OR NOT BUT IT'S A
00:47:16:00	00:47:18:00	TERRIBLE BUILDING AND IT SERVES
00:47:18:00	00:47:19:00	A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD THAT
00:47:19:00	00:47:20:00	DESERVES A BETTER BUILDING THAN
00:47:20:00	00:47:20:00	THAT.
00:47:20:00	00:47:23:00	THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE PARKING.
00:47:23:00	00:47:24:00	THEY DON'T HAVE ROOM ON THE
00:47:24:00	00:47:25:00	FRONT OF THE BUILDING TO PULL
00:47:25:00	00:47:25:00	THE TRUCKS OUT.

00:54:09:00	00:54:09:00	ABOUT MY ENTIRE CAREER BECAUSE
00:54:09:00	00:54:13:00	I WAS TWENTY FIVE YEARS IN THE
00:54:13:00	00:54:13:00	PRINTING DEPARTMENT.
00:54:13:00	00:54:16:00	TWENTY FIVE YEARS AND I LEFT TO
00:54:16:00	00:54:17:00	MAKE IT AT MAKING FIFTY GRAND
00:54:17:00	00:54:18:00	AT THE PRINTING DEPARTMENT.
00:54:18:00	00:54:20:00	I WAS A SKILLED SKILLED TRADES
00:54:20:00	00:54:21:00	AND ONLY MAKING FIFTY GRAND FOR
00:54:21:00	00:54:24:00	THE CITY FOR THE CITY OF BOSTON
00:54:24:00	00:54:24:00	.
00:54:24:00	00:54:27:00	BUT BUT THERE'S SO MUCH THAT WE
00:54:27:00	00:54:28:00	COULD DO IF WE LOOKED AT
00:54:28:00	00:54:31:00	GETTING RID OF CONTRACTS SO MY
00:54:31:00	00:54:32:00	DEPARTMENT USED TO SAY WE'RE
00:54:32:00	00:54:33:00	OFF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT A
00:54:33:00	00:54:36:00	LITTLE BIT BUT IT HAS RELEVANCE
00:54:36:00	00:54:36:00	TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
00:54:36:00	00:54:39:00	THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
00:54:39:00	00:54:40:00	THEY ALL HAVE THESE HUGE
00:54:40:00	00:54:41:00	CONTRACTS THAT YEARS AGO WE
00:54:41:00	00:54:44:00	SAID WE CAN'T DO THAT.
00:54:44:00	00:54:45:00	LET'S JUST, YOU KNOW, HAVE
00:54:45:00	00:54:47:00	OUTSIDE PEOPLE COMING IN.
00:54:47:00	00:54:48:00	THERE IS SOME VALUE IN IT BUT
00:54:48:00	00:54:50:00	THERE'S ALSO VALUE IN HAVING
00:54:50:00	00:54:51:00	YOUR OWN PERSON.
00:54:51:00	00:54:52:00	THE COMMISSION CAN SAY HEY,
00:54:52:00	00:54:52:00	TOILET'S BLOCKED DOWN THERE.
00:54:52:00	00:54:55:00	CAN WE GET YOU GUYS OUT THERE
00:54:55:00	00:54:59:00	AND HAVE IT OR OR I WAS GOING
00:54:59:00	00:55:00:00	TO JUST CALL IT WHAT WE WOULD
00:55:00:00	00:55:00:00	CALL IT IN THE TRADES.
00:55:00:00	00:55:02:00	YOU MEAN YOUR MAIN LINE?
00:55:02:00	00:55:04:00	IT'S YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE OUR
00:55:04:00	00:55:06:00	OWN PEOPLE SOMETHING TO REPAIR
00:55:06:00	00:55:07:00	THAT ON A SATURDAY NIGHT OR
00:55:07:00	00:55:09:00	SOMETHING YOU'RE TALKING FIFTY
00:55:09:00	00:55:10:00	GRAND OF OUR OWN PEOPLE WOULD
00:55:10:00	00:55:13:00	GO IN THERE ON OVERTIME.
00:55:13:00	00:55:14:00	SO I WENT OFF A LITTLE BIT
00:55:14:00	00:55:15:00	THERE.
00:55:15:00	00:55:18:00	I AGREE THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT
00:55:18:00	00:55:19:00	THOSE THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE
00:55:19:00	00:55:20:00	WORKING FOR US AND NOT MAKING
00:55:20:00	00:55:21:00	ENOUGH.
00:55:21:00	00:55:22:00	CAN I ASK YOU ONE OF THOSE WHAT

00:55:29:00	00:55:32:00	AND AFES ME.
00:55:32:00	00:55:34:00	BUT TO TAKE YOUR POINT, I AGREE
00:55:34:00	00:55:37:00	WITH YOU 100 SO I DON'T HAVE A
00:55:37:00	00:55:37:00	CARPENTER.
00:55:37:00	00:55:39:00	SO SO THEY USED TO BE A
00:55:39:00	00:55:40:00	CARPENTER.
00:55:40:00	00:55:42:00	SO WHAT DO I DO WHEN WHEN I
00:55:42:00	00:55:43:00	NEED SOMEBODY TO FIX A PIECE
00:55:43:00	00:55:44:00	OF WOOD?
00:55:44:00	00:55:45:00	SOMETHING'S WRONG.
00:55:45:00	00:55:46:00	I GOT A SUB THAT OUT I DON'T
00:55:46:00	00:55:48:00	HAVE I DON'T HAVE HVAC PERSON
00:55:48:00	00:55:48:00	RIGHT.

00:55:52:00	00:55:53:00	FIREHOUSE 33 FIRE HOUSES
00:55:53:00	00:55:55:00	HEADQUARTERS AND SO I GOT
00:55:55:00	00:55:57:00	SUBBED OUT SO THEN IF I HAD AN

00:55:58:00	00:56:00:00	WOULD KNOW THESE THESE THIS
00:56:00:00	00:56:00:00	PIECE OF EQUIPMENT AND THEY
00:56:00:00	00:56:03:00	KNOW IT INTIMATELY NOW I GOT A
00:56:03:00	00:56:04:00	DIFFERENT CONTRACT EVERY TWO
00:56:04:00	00:56:07:00	YEARS AGO NOW WHAT IS THIS NOW

00:56:07:00	00:56:08:00	WE NEVER WORKED ON THOSE.
00:56:08:00	00:56:08:00	YEAH YEAH.
00:56:08:00	00:56:09:00	YOU KNOW AND THAT'S THE CASE
00:56:09:00	00:56:11:00	WITH ELECTRICAL AND EVERYTHING
00:56:11:00	00:56:11:00	ELSE.
00:56:11:00	00:56:12:00	WE DO HAVE ELECTRICIANS BUT IT
00:56:12:00	00:56:15:00	DOESN'T HOW MANY ELECTRICIANS
00:56:15:00	00:56:15:00	DO YOU HAVE?
00:56:15:00	00:56:16:00	WE HAVE FOUR OF THEM THOSE
00:56:16:00	00:56:19:00	THEY'RE NOT THE FIRE ALARM THAT

00:56:20:00	00:56:24:00	THEY WE HAD TWO FOR A WHILE.
00:56:24:00	00:56:24:00	I JUST HIRED TWO MORE BECAUSE
00:56:24:00	00:56:26:00	THEY WERE BUDGETED AND NOBODY
00:56:26:00	00:56:26:00	REPLACED THEM.
00:56:26:00	00:56:27:00	SO THEY DO ALL THE IN-HOUSE
00:56:27:00	00:56:30:00	ELECTRICAL WORK.
00:56:30:00	00:56:31:00	IT'S VERY RARE THAT THEY HAVE
00:56:31:00	00:56:32:00	TO SOMEHOW WORK BECAUSE THEY DO
00:56:32:00	00:56:32:00	IT.
00:56:32:00	00:56:34:00	THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING
00:56:34:00	00:56:35:00	WELL THEY KNOW THE BUILDERS AND
00:56:35:00	00:56:36:00	THEY'VE BEEN TO THEM A MILLION
00:56:36:00	00:56:38:00	TIMES SO THEY KNOW THE CIRCUITS
00:56:38:00	00:56:39:00	AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
00:56:39:00	00:56:39:00	IT WORKS WELL.
00:56:39:00	00:56:42:00	I AGREE WITH YOU.
00:56:42:00	00:56:43:00	I MEAN THE MAINTENANCE FOR THE
00:56:43:00	00:56:45:00	VEHICLES THAT'S IN-HOUSE BUT
00:56:45:00	00:56:46:00	THERE'S SO MANY OTHER THINGS
00:56:46:00	00:56:47:00	THAT CAN HAPPEN IN A BUILDING
00:56:47:00	00:56:49:00	THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
00:56:49:00	00:56:50:00	YEAH, IT GOES ON AND ON.
00:56:50:00	00:56:53:00	WHY WOULD SOMEONE THE CONTRACT
00:56:53:00	00:56:54:00	IS IT'S A JOKE THE YOU YOU HIRE
00:56:54:00	00:56:58:00	THESE PEOPLE, THEY WEAR A
00:56:58:00	00:56:58:00	CHECKBOOK FOR THEM.
00:56:58:00	00:56:59:00	THAT'S IT.
00:56:59:00	00:57:01:00	AND THEY KNOW THE GAME BETTER
00:57:01:00	00:57:02:00	THAN ANYBODY.
00:57:02:00	00:57:03:00	IT'S AMAZING THEY KNOW HOW THE
00:57:03:00	00:57:05:00	BUREAUCRACY WORKS BETTER THAN
00:57:05:00	00:57:06:00	WE DO WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING
00:57:06:00	00:57:09:00	THAT CONTRACT WHEN YOU VIOLATED

00:57:21:00	00:57:22:00	WITH CONTRACTS WE'VE BEEN

00:57:40:00	00:57:43:00	THE CADET PROGRAM ALMOST LIKE

01:00:30:00	01:00:31:00	FAMILY MEMBER THAT'S A SEND IT
01:00:31:00	01:00:33:00	TO A CITY COUNCIL SEAT OR ANY
01:00:33:00	01:00:34:00	OTHER GOVERNMENTAL OFFICIAL
01:00:34:00	01:00:34:00	SEAT.
01:00:34:00	01:00:37:00	WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO VET THE
01:00:37:00	01:00:40:00	INDIVIDUAL, DETERMINE THEIR
01:00:40:00	01:00:41:00	INTEREST AND THEIR EXPERIENCE
01:00:41:00	01:00:44:00	TOWARD THIS POSITION WHERE
01:00:44:00	01:00:45:00	DYSFUNCTION THE POTENTIAL TO BE
01:00:45:00	01:00:46:00	BECOME A FIREFIGHTER.
01:00:46:00	01:00:49:00	WHAT I'M TRYING TO PRESENT TO
01:00:49:00	01:00:50:00	AN ACADEMY AND PRESENT TO THE
01:00:50:00	01:00:53:00	COMMISSIONER AT THE END OF OUR
01:00:53:00	01:00:57:00	TWO YEAR PROGRAM THEY COULD BE
01:00:57:00	01:00:57:00	THERE FOR A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
01:00:57:00	01:00:58:00	BUT AFTER THE TWO YEARS THAT
01:00:58:00	01:01:01:00	THEY'RE THE BEST TRAINED, WELL
01:01:01:00	01:01:01:00	PREPARED OR BEST PREPARED
01:01:01:00	01:01:04:00	RECRUITS IN THE HISTORY OF THE
01:01:04:00	01:01:05:00	DEPARTMENT EACH YEAR.
01:01:05:00	01:01:07:00	SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
01:01:07:00	01:01:08:00	OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS,
01:01:08:00	01:01:09:00	COMMUNITY COLLEGES, HIGH
01:01:09:00	01:01:11:00	SCHOOLS.
01:01:11:00	01:01:12:00	ENGLISH HIGH HAS A GREAT LEGAL
01:01:12:00	01:01:13:00	AND PROTECTIVE STUDIES PROGRAM
01:01:13:00	01:01:16:00	WHERE WE GO UP TO THEM ALMOST
01:01:16:00	01:01:17:00	OF A VOCATIONAL KIND OF PROGRAM
01:01:17:00	01:01:20:00	OFFICER.
01:01:20:00	01:01:21:00	SO THAT PROGRAM WOULD BE THE
01:01:21:00	01:01:21:00	PATHWAY INTO THE FIGHT ABOUT
01:01:21:00	01:01:23:00	ONE OF THE ONE OF THE ONE
01:01:23:00	01:01:24:00	OF THE ABSOLUTELY CHARLESTOWN
01:01:24:00	01:01:27:00	HIGH AND ALSO HAS A LEGAL AND
01:01:27:00	01:01:28:00	PROTECTIVE STUDIES PROGRAM IN
01:01:28:00	01:01:30:00	TRACK.
01:01:30:00	01:01:32:00	AND SO WE LOOK TO TARGET THOSE
01:01:32:00	01:01:34:00	PARTICULAR HIGH SCHOOLS AND AND
01:01:34:00	01:01:35:00	AGAIN LOOKING AT OTHER COLLEGES
01:01:35:00	01:01:38:00	AND COMMUNITY COLLEGES WITH
01:01:38:00	01:01:39:00	ANYONE HAS AN INTEREST IN
01:01:39:00	01:01:41:00	HELPING THAT WANTS TO PURSUE
01:01:41:00	01:01:42:00	THIS PROFESSION.
01:01:42:00	01:01:43:00	WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO APPLY AND
01:01:43:00	01:01:46:00	APPLY OVER THE COURSE OF THEIR
01:01:46:00	01:01:50:00	ELIGIBILITY 18 TO 25 YEARS
01:01:50:00	01:01:50:00	OF AGE.
01:01:50:00	01:01:51:00	MADAM CHAIR, CAN I JUST FINISH
01:01:51:00	01:01:52:00	UP PLEASE?
01:01:52:00	01:01:53:00	OF COURSE.
01:01:53:00	01:01:53:00	A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
01:01:53:00	01:01:58:00	ONE IS IS SO WHAT IS THE
01:01:58:00	01:02:01:00	LIKELIHOOD OF OF THESE OF THESE
01:02:01:00	01:02:05:00	YOUNG PEOPLE THAT THAT THAT ARE
01:02:05:00	01:02:06:00	IN THE CADET PROGRAM THAT
01:02:06:00	01:02:08:00	THEY'RE GOING TO BECOME FIRE
01:02:08:00	01:02:08:00	FIREFIGHTERS?
01:02:08:00	01:02:12:00	SO THIS IS OUR INAUGURAL YEAR
01:02:12:00	01:02:13:00	SO WE DON'T HAVE THE DATA THAT
01:02:13:00	01:02:14:00	WOULD SUGGEST THAT IF I'M USING
01:02:14:00	01:02:16:00	BPD MODEL IN TERMS OF WHAT
01:02:16:00	01:02:20:00	WHERE I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
01:02:20:00	01:02:21:00	OVERSEE THAT PROGRAM FROM 2017
01:02:21:00	01:02:25:00	TO 2022 WE HAD ABOUT 85 PERCENT
01:02:25:00	01:02:28:00	RETENTION RATE.
01:02:28:00	01:02:29:00	SO 85 PERCENT OF THE CADETS
01:02:29:00	01:02:32:00	THAT WERE HIRED WENT ON TO
01:02:32:00	01:02:33:00	BECOME POLICE OFFICERS.
01:02:33:00	01:02:34:00	SO WE SHOULD EXPECT THE SAME
01:02:34:00	01:02:37:00	SORT OF NUMBERS WITH WITH OUR
01:02:37:00	01:02:39:00	WITH YOUR CADET WITH A FELLOW
01:02:39:00	01:02:39:00	CADET PROGRAM.
01:02:39:00	01:02:40:00	ABSOLUTELY.
01:02:40:00	01:02:41:00	I'LL SAY I'LL PUT A MARKER DOWN
01:02:41:00	01:02:44:00	NOW TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
01:02:44:00	01:02:44:00	A BETTER RATE BECAUSE WE'VE
01:02:44:00	01:02:47:00	WE'VE IMPROVED UPON THE MODEL
01:02:47:00	01:02:51:00	BY HAVING MANDATORY EVALUATIONS
01:02:51:00	01:02:52:00	AS FAR AS FITNESS AND WORKOUTS.
01:02:52:00	01:02:55:00	SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM
01:02:55:00	01:02:56:00	THROUGHOUT THEIR TWO YEARS PLUS
01:02:56:00	01:02:57:00	TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN
01:02:57:00	01:02:59:00	HANDLE THE PHYSICAL
01:02:59:00	01:03:00:00	REQUIREMENTS OF ACADEMY.
01:03:00:00	01:03:03:00	HOW MANY BAPS GRADUATES DO WE
01:03:03:00	01:03:03:00	HAVE?
01:03:03:00	01:03:04:00	AND THAT'S MY LAST QUESTION I
01:03:04:00	01:03:08:00	CAN DO YOU KNOW DO YOU KNOW
01:03:08:00	01:03:08:00	WHAT YOU HAVE I CAN LOOK AT
01:03:08:00	01:03:09:00	EACH APPLICANT AND MAKE A
01:03:09:00	01:03:10:00	DETERMINATION.
01:03:10:00	01:03:11:00	THE MAJORITY OF THE APPLICANTS
01:03:11:00	01:03:14:00	THAT THAT APPLIED WERE BAPS
01:03:14:00	01:03:14:00	GRADUATES.
01:03:14:00	01:03:15:00	YOU NEED TO HAVE A MINIMUM
01:03:15:00	01:03:18:00	OF THREE YEARS WITHIN THE CITY
01:03:18:00	01:03:19:00	AND AS FAR AS RESIDENCY GOES,
01:03:19:00	01:03:22:00	SO WE HAVE A VERY HIGH
01:03:22:00	01:03:23:00	PERCENTAGE OF BP'S GRADUATES
01:03:23:00	01:03:24:00	THAT ARE CURRENTLY CADETS AND

01:04:17:00	01:04:20:00	I KNOW THAT WE TRIED LAST YEAR
01:04:20:00	01:04:22:00	IN THE BUDGET TO SUPPORT THAT I
01:04:22:00	01:04:23:00	HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING THE

01:06:14:00	01:06:15:00	KIND OF A MICROCOSM OF OF WHAT
01:06:15:00	01:06:18:00	OUR CADET PROGRAM IS WHICH IS
01:06:18:00	01:06:19:00	AGAIN A GOOD REPRESENTATION
01:06:19:00	01:06:20:00	FROM ACROSS THE CITY.
01:06:20:00	01:06:22:00	SO OUR HOPE IS TO BE ABLE TO
01:06:22:00	01:06:22:00	CONTINUE THE ACADEMY IN
01:06:22:00	01:06:25:00	PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DEPARTMENT
01:06:25:00	01:06:26:00	OF USING EMPLOYMENT AND
01:06:26:00	01:06:30:00	ENGAGEMENT AND PUT OUT THOSE
01:06:30:00	01:06:30:00	FEELERS AND PLANT SEEDS FOR

01:06:36:00	01:06:41:00	WE HAVE TWO GRADUATES FROM OUR
01:06:41:00	01:06:41:00	TEAM ACADEMY THAT WERE
01:06:41:00	01:06:45:00	APPOINTED AS CADETS SO WE HAVE
01:06:45:00	01:06:48:00	TWO REPRESENTATIVES FROM LAST
01:06:48:00	01:06:49:00	YEAR THAT ARE NOW CADETS OR SO
01:06:49:00	01:06:50:00	THEY WOULD HAVE DONE THE FULL
01:06:50:00	01:06:53:00	PIPELINE OF THE ACADEMY, THE
01:06:53:00	01:06:54:00	CADET PROGRAM AND THINK THAT'S
01:06:54:00	01:06:57:00	WONDERFUL QUESTION REGARDING
01:06:57:00	01:07:01:00	HOW DOES THE CADET PROGRAM LIKE
01:07:01:00	01:07:01:00	THERE'S A CIVIL CIVIL SERVICE
01:07:01:00	01:07:02:00	PROCESS WHICH IS HOW FOLKS
01:07:02:00	01:07:05:00	TRADITIONALLY GET INTO THE FIRE
01:07:05:00	01:07:06:00	DEPARTMENT AND THERE'S A CADET
01:07:06:00	01:07:06:00	PROGRAM.
01:07:06:00	01:07:08:00	CAN WE CAN YOU TALK ABOUT HOW
01:07:08:00	01:07:09:00	THE CADET PROGRAM INTERACTS
01:07:09:00	01:07:12:00	WITH THE CIVIL SERVICE PROCESS
01:07:12:00	01:07:13:00	SO EVERY CADET WOULD NEED TO
01:07:13:00	01:07:16:00	PASS A CIVIL SERVICE TEST IN
01:07:16:00	01:07:17:00	ORDER TO BE APPOINTED TO AN
01:07:17:00	01:07:20:00	ACADEMY CLASS AFTER TWO YEARS
01:07:20:00	01:07:20:00	OF WORKING WITH THE FIRE
01:07:20:00	01:07:21:00	DEPARTMENT, THE COMMISSIONER
01:07:21:00	01:07:24:00	HAS THE ABILITY TO APPOINT
01:07:24:00	01:07:25:00	CADETS TO THAT NEXT ACADEMY
01:07:25:00	01:07:27:00	CLASS PROVIDED THEY'VE MET ALL
01:07:27:00	01:07:28:00	THE REQUIREMENTS ELIGIBILITY
01:07:28:00	01:07:31:00	INCLUDING THE PASSING OF A
01:07:31:00	01:07:32:00	CIVIL SERVICE TEST AND AND WHAT
01:07:32:00	01:07:35:00	INFLUENCE WHAT IMPACT WILL THE
01:07:35:00	01:07:36:00	SORT OF THE LINE OF FOLKS ON
01:07:36:00	01:07:39:00	THE LINE OF THE APPLICANTS THE
01:07:39:00	01:07:40:00	CIVIL SERVICE CIVIL SERVICE
01:07:40:00	01:07:40:00	PROCESS HAVE ON THE FOLKS WHO
01:07:40:00	01:07:45:00	ARE IN THE CADET PROGRAM IF WE
01:07:45:00	01:07:46:00	PLAN IT CORRECTLY, IF THE
01:07:46:00	01:07:49:00	COMMISSIONER HAS THE ABILITY TO
01:07:49:00	01:07:50:00	APPOINT UP TO A THIRD OF A
01:07:50:00	01:07:53:00	CLASS LET'S SAY WE'RE BUDGETED
01:07:53:00	01:07:53:00	FOR SIXTY.
01:07:53:00	01:07:54:00	SO WHEN THE COMMISSIONER ASKED
01:07:54:00	01:07:57:00	FOR SIXTY INSTEAD OF FORTY FIVE
01:07:57:00	01:07:58:00	IF WE'RE BUDGETED FOR SIXTY AND
01:07:58:00	01:08:01:00	WE HAVE TWENTY CADETS THAT ARE
01:08:01:00	01:08:02:00	READY TO GO INTO AN ACADEMY
01:08:02:00	01:08:05:00	CLASS NOW WE CAN MAKE A CALL
01:08:05:00	01:08:09:00	FOR THE LIST FOR FORTY AND THE
01:08:09:00	01:08:10:00	COMMISSIONER CAN NOW APPOINT
01:08:10:00	01:08:13:00	TWENTY CADETS THAT ARE READY TO
01:08:13:00	01:08:14:00	GO INTO THAT ACADEMY CLASS SO
01:08:14:00	01:08:15:00	WE HAVE A GREATER OPPORTUNITY
01:08:15:00	01:08:16:00	TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON ON THE
01:08:16:00	01:08:17:00	APPLICANT POOL OR THE OVERALL
01:08:17:00	01:08:20:00	CLASS AND MAKEUP IF WE USE OUR
01:08:20:00	01:08:24:00	EXISTING CADET CLASS AS AN
01:08:24:00	01:08:25:00	EXAMPLE WE HAVE OUT OF 32 WE
01:08:25:00	01:08:28:00	HAVE NINE WOMEN REPRESENTED.
01:08:28:00	01:08:32:00	WE HAD FOUR WOMEN GRADUATE LAST
01:08:32:00	01:08:33:00	YEAR FROM AN ACADEMY AND THAT
01:08:33:00	01:08:34:00	WAS THE FIRST TIME SINCE MAYBE
01:08:34:00	01:08:35:00	2004 AND IT WAS AND I THINK
01:08:35:00	01:08:36:00	THREE OF THEM WERE WOMEN
01:08:36:00	01:08:37:00	OF COLOR WHICH IS REALLY SO IF
01:08:37:00	01:08:39:00	WE RETAIN HALF THE WOMEN THAT
01:08:39:00	01:08:43:00	WERE IN THE CLASS NOW IN 2025,
01:08:43:00	01:08:44:00	YOU CAN SEE THAT A GREATER
01:08:44:00	01:08:47:00	IMPACT CAN BE MADE JUST BY THE
01:08:47:00	01:08:48:00	COMMISSIONER HAVING THE ABILITY
01:08:48:00	01:08:51:00	TO APPOINT NOW PROVIDED WE'LL
01:08:51:00	01:08:52:00	LOOK AT THIS IN AN EQUITABLE
01:08:52:00	01:08:53:00	WAY WHERE CADETS CAN SEPARATE
01:08:53:00	01:08:56:00	THEMSELVES BASED ON THEIR
01:08:56:00	01:08:57:00	PERFORMANCE BASED ON HOW WELL
01:08:57:00	01:08:59:00	THEY'RE DOING IN THE ACADEMY OR
01:08:59:00	01:09:00:00	IN THE CADET PROGRAM.
01:09:00:00	01:09:01:00	BUT IT'S IT'S A TREMENDOUS
01:09:01:00	01:09:04:00	OPPORTUNITY FOR A COMMISSIONER
01:09:04:00	01:09:04:00	TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON ON AN
01:09:04:00	01:09:07:00	ACADEMY CLASS.
01:09:07:00	01:09:08:00	THANK YOU, MICHAEL.
01:09:08:00	01:09:09:00	CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE
01:09:09:00	01:09:10:00	DISCRETION OF ANY AGE OUR
01:09:10:00	01:09:12:00	DEPARTMENT HAS IN THE STATE
01:09:12:00	01:09:15:00	CIVIL SERVICE HIRING PROCESS?
01:09:15:00	01:09:16:00	WE'RE BOUND BY THE CIVIL
01:09:16:00	01:09:19:00	SERVICE LAW AND SELECTION.
01:09:19:00	01:09:20:00	SO OUR DISCRETION OUTSIDE
01:09:20:00	01:09:23:00	OF SAY MY GROUP THE
01:09:23:00	01:09:23:00	COMMISSIONER TECHNICALLY HAS
01:09:23:00	01:09:26:00	THE ABILITY TO SELECT FROM THAT
01:09:26:00	01:09:27:00	TIGHT GROUP.
01:09:27:00	01:09:28:00	THE PRACTICE OF THE DEPARTMENT
01:09:28:00	01:09:31:00	IN THE PAST HAS BEEN A LOTTERY
01:09:31:00	01:09:34:00	WHERE WE LITERALLY PUT NAMES
01:09:34:00	01:09:35:00	INTO A TURNER AND AND SELECT
01:09:35:00	01:09:38:00	THOSE NAMES.
01:09:38:00	01:09:39:00	BPD DOES IT A LITTLE BIT
01:09:39:00	01:09:40:00	DIFFERENTLY IN THAT THE
01:09:40:00	01:09:42:00	COMMISSIONER CAN SELECT FROM
01:09:42:00	01:09:43:00	THAT TIGHT GROUP WHAT THAT
01:09:43:00	01:09:47:00	COMMISSIONER THE PAST
01:09:47:00	01:09:47:00	COMMISSIONERS WOULD DO WHEN I
01:09:47:00	01:09:50:00	WAS PRESENT WOULD ASK FOR
01:09:50:00	01:09:51:00	RECOMMENDATIONS.
01:09:51:00	01:09:52:00	WE GIVE THEM AN OVERVIEW
01:09:52:00	01:09:54:00	OF ONE'S PROFILE AND AGAIN
01:09:54:00	01:09:54:00	MAYBE CONSIDER UNDERREPRESENTED
01:09:54:00	01:09:58:00	COMMUNITIES LANGUAGE SKILLS,
01:09:58:00	01:09:59:00	PAST PUBLIC SAFETY EXPERIENCE,
01:09:59:00	01:10:02:00	THINGS OF THAT NATURE THAT
01:10:02:00	01:10:03:00	MIGHT HELP TO TO MAKE THOSE
01:10:03:00	01:10:06:00	DECISIONS.
01:10:06:00	01:10:06:00	IT'S TYPICALLY AT THE
01:10:06:00	01:10:07:00	DISCRETION OF THE COMMISSIONER
01:10:07:00	01:10:09:00	FOR THOSE TYRNAUER SELECTIONS.
01:10:09:00	01:10:11:00	WE DON'T KNOW IN TERMS OF WHAT
01:10:11:00	01:10:14:00	IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE IN
01:10:14:00	01:10:14:00	MAKING THAT CHANGE.
01:10:14:00	01:10:15:00	BUT THAT'S BEEN OUR PRACTICE IN
01:10:15:00	01:10:17:00	THE PAST AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE
01:10:17:00	01:10:18:00	LATTER MODEL IS ONE THAT IS
01:10:18:00	01:10:19:00	MORE ACCURATE WITH AN ANGLE
01:10:19:00	01:10:21:00	TOWARDS EQUITY YOU ARE THINKING
01:10:21:00	01:10:21:00	ABOUT APPLICANTS MORE
01:10:21:00	01:10:22:00	HOLISTICALLY.
01:10:22:00	01:10:25:00	I WOULD SAY IF THERE'S AN
01:10:25:00	01:10:28:00	OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD ON YOUR
01:10:28:00	01:10:28:00	SKILLS WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT
01:10:28:00	01:10:29:00	LANGUAGE SKILLS AND LANGUAGE
01:10:29:00	01:10:33:00	CERTIFICATIONS ARE SOME THINGS
01:10:33:00	01:10:34:00	THAT WE'RE ABLE TO TO TO
01:10:34:00	01:10:37:00	PETITION THE CIVIL SERVICE.
01:10:37:00	01:10:38:00	IF I'M LOOKING AT A LIST AND I
01:10:38:00	01:10:39:00	SEE SOMEONE WITH A LANGUAGE
01:10:39:00	01:10:40:00	SKILL ON THE SPECIALTY THAT
01:10:40:00	01:10:41:00	REPRESENTS A GREATER POPULATION
01:10:41:00	01:10:44:00	WITHIN THE CITY CAPE VERDEAN
01:10:44:00	01:10:45:00	CREOLE, HAITIAN CREOLE IF I
01:10:45:00	01:10:48:00	LOOK NINE ONE ONE CALLS AND I
01:10:48:00	01:10:49:00	LOOK FOR TRANSLATIONS AND
01:10:49:00	01:10:50:00	THINGS OF THAT NATURE WE'RE
01:10:50:00	01:10:52:00	JUST BUILDING OUR ABILITY SET.
01:10:52:00	01:10:53:00	AND SO THAT'S ANOTHER WAY WHERE
01:10:53:00	01:10:56:00	WE CAN KIND OF ADDRESS AND GROW
01:10:56:00	01:10:56:00	AS A DEPARTMENT.
01:10:56:00	01:10:57:00	THANK YOU.
01:10:57:00	01:10:58:00	DO YOU HAVE A LANGUAGE
01:10:58:00	01:10:59:00	PREFERENCE AND IS THERE A
01:10:59:00	01:10:59:00	PREFERENCE FOR BAPS GRADUATES?
01:10:59:00	01:11:03:00	THERE'S NO PREFERENCE FOR
01:11:03:00	01:11:04:00	LANGUAGE ALTHOUGH BPD HAS A
01:11:04:00	01:11:07:00	THERE'S A B SO WHEN YOU WHEN
01:11:07:00	01:11:07:00	YOU SAY PREFERENCE THERE'S
01:11:07:00	01:11:08:00	THERE'S LANGUAGE CERTIFICATIONS
01:11:08:00	01:11:11:00	THAT YOU CAN REQUEST IN
01:11:11:00	01:11:12:00	PETITIONS CIVIL SERVICE TO
01:11:12:00	01:11:12:00	GRANT YOU THERE'S NOT A
01:11:12:00	01:11:15:00	GUARANTEE THAT THEY CAN APPROVE
01:11:15:00	01:11:16:00	OF THAT.
01:11:16:00	01:11:19:00	AND SO EVERY TIME A DEPARTMENT
01:11:19:00	01:11:20:00	CAN ASK FOR CERTAIN LANGUAGES
01:11:20:00	01:11:23:00	YOU HAVE TO DISPLAY DATA,
01:11:23:00	01:11:24:00	PROVIDE DATA THAT WOULD SUPPORT
01:11:24:00	01:11:27:00	THAT PETITION AND THEN YOU CAN
01:11:27:00	01:11:31:00	HOPE FOR THEM GRANTING THAT A
01:11:31:00	01:11:31:00	CERTAIN NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT
01:11:31:00	01:11:35:00	SPEAK CERTAIN THINGS THAT ARE
01:11:35:00	01:11:37:00	FLUENT IN A CERTAIN LANGUAGE SO
01:11:37:00	01:11:38:00	BPD WE MADE THOSE SAME
01:11:38:00	01:11:42:00	PETITIONS IN MY TENURE THERE
01:11:42:00	01:11:45:00	OVER FIVE YEARS WE WERE GRANTED
01:11:45:00	01:11:46:00	LANGUAGE CERTIFICATIONS
01:11:46:00	01:11:46:00	SOMETIMES SOMETIMES WE WERE
01:11:46:00	01:11:49:00	DENIED.
01:11:49:00	01:11:50:00	SO IT KIND OF DEPENDS IN MY
01:11:50:00	01:11:53:00	SHORT TENURE HERE THE LAST YEAR
01:11:53:00	01:11:54:00	THIS YEAR WE JUST MADE A CALL
01:11:54:00	01:11:57:00	FOR THE LIST AND WE WERE ALSO
01:11:57:00	01:11:58:00	GRANTED OUR LANGUAGE
01:11:58:00	01:12:01:00	PREFERENCES OR LANGUAGE
01:12:01:00	01:12:01:00	CERTIFICATION.
01:12:01:00	01:12:02:00	SO IT'S KIND OF LOOKING AT A
01:12:02:00	01:12:04:00	CERTAIN NUMBER THAT YOU'RE ABLE
01:12:04:00	01:12:05:00	TO HIRE BASED ON WHAT CIVIL
01:12:05:00	01:12:08:00	SERVICE PROVIDES YOU.
01:12:08:00	01:12:09:00	GREAT.
01:12:09:00	01:12:10:00	I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION, MADAM
01:12:10:00	01:12:10:00	CHAIR.
01:12:10:00	01:12:10:00	IS THAT OK?
01:12:10:00	01:12:11:00	THAT'S OK.
01:12:11:00	01:12:12:00	THANK YOU.
01:12:12:00	01:12:13:00	I THINK I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT
01:12:13:00	01:12:16:00	AND I'M HERE FOR THE LANGUAGE
01:12:16:00	01:12:17:00	CERTIFICATION BEING ABLE TO
01:12:17:00	01:12:20:00	HELP US DIVERSIFY AND GET FOLKS
01:12:20:00	01:12:21:00	WHO SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF OUR
01:12:21:00	01:12:21:00	RESIDENTS.
01:12:21:00	01:12:22:00	I THINK THERE'S MORE WORK WE
01:12:22:00	01:12:23:00	CAN DO THERE OUTREACH TO
01:12:23:00	01:12:24:00	COMMUNITIES THAT TRADITIONALLY
01:12:24:00	01:12:25:00	ARE NOT UNDERREPRESENTED LIKE
01:12:25:00	01:12:28:00	ASIAN COMMUNITY AND OUR FIRE
01:12:28:00	01:12:29:00	DEPARTMENT.
01:12:29:00	01:12:30:00	I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF WORK
01:12:30:00	01:12:31:00	THAT WE CAN BE DOING THERE WITH
01:12:31:00	01:12:32:00	DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS.
01:12:32:00	01:12:33:00	YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
01:12:33:00	01:12:34:00	THE API MONTH AND IT'S
01:12:34:00	01:12:36:00	IMPORTANT FOR US TO THINK ABOUT
01:12:36:00	01:12:37:00	HOW OUR CULTURES ARE AND AREN'T
01:12:37:00	01:12:40:00	WELCOMING TO FOLKS FROM
01:12:40:00	01:12:40:00	DIFFERENT GROUPS AND MAKING
01:12:40:00	01:12:41:00	THEM KNOW THAT THIS IS A
01:12:41:00	01:12:42:00	PROFESSION THAT IS AVAILABLE TO
01:12:42:00	01:12:42:00	THEM.
01:12:42:00	01:12:44:00	MY LAST QUESTION IS ONE ABOUT
01:12:44:00	01:12:45:00	IS STILL ABOUT THE CIVIL
01:12:45:00	01:12:46:00	SERVICE AND I WANT TO THANK ALL
01:12:46:00	01:12:48:00	OF OUR VETERANS FOR ALL THE
01:12:48:00	01:12:48:00	INCREDIBLE SERVICE THAT THEY DO
01:12:48:00	01:12:49:00	FOR THIS COUNTRY IN THE
01:12:49:00	01:12:52:00	SACRIFICE THAT THEY MAKE.
01:12:52:00	01:12:53:00	I'M CURIOUS TO EXPLORE WITH
01:12:53:00	01:12:56:00	THIS CIVIL SERVICE THE LIST AND
01:12:56:00	01:13:00:00	HOW SOMEONE WHO IS A VETERAN

01:14:12:00	01:14:16:00	NONVETERANS WOULD BE BELOW
01:14:16:00	01:14:17:00	DISABLED VETERANS, VETERANS AND
01:14:17:00	01:14:20:00	AND OTHER KIND OF PREFERENCES
01:14:20:00	01:14:24:00	THAT ARE WITHIN THE CIVIL
01:14:24:00	01:14:24:00	SERVICE STATUTE.
01:14:24:00	01:14:29:00	BUT IT CAN BE DIFFICULT IF I'M
01:14:29:00	01:14:32:00	NOT IF I'M A NON-VETERAN FROM
01:14:32:00	01:14:32:00	THE CITY OF BOSTON.
01:14:32:00	01:14:33:00	IF YOU LOOK AT THE ELIGIBLE
01:14:33:00	01:14:36:00	LIST RIGHT NOW WE MAKE A CALL
01:14:36:00	01:14:39:00	FOR THE LIST FOR SAFE A FIFTY
01:14:39:00	01:14:40:00	ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE PLUS ANY
01:14:40:00	01:14:43:00	TIES 100 PERCENT OF THOSE WILL
01:14:43:00	01:14:44:00	BE DISABLED VETERANS.
01:14:44:00	01:14:47:00	AND SO IF YOU LOOK AT THAT IS
01:14:47:00	01:14:51:00	FROM A DIVERSITY STANDPOINT IF
01:14:51:00	01:14:54:00	ONE IN TEN MILITARY CANDIDATES
01:14:54:00	01:14:55:00	ARE PEOPLE OF COLOR, ONE IN 26
01:14:55:00	01:14:59:00	PLUS COULD BE WOMEN, OUR
01:14:59:00	01:15:00:00	APPLICANT POOL IS GOING TO
01:15:00:00	01:15:02:00	REFLECT THAT AND SO IT CAN IT
01:15:02:00	01:15:03:00	CAN BE DIFFICULT FOR US TO TO
01:15:03:00	01:15:06:00	LOOK AT A DIVERSE APPLICANT
01:15:06:00	01:15:07:00	POOL IF WE CONTINUE TO RELY ON
01:15:07:00	01:15:10:00	THE CIVIL SERVICE SELECTION
01:15:10:00	01:15:11:00	PROCESS, WE WILL DO BETTER AT
01:15:11:00	01:15:14:00	WORKING THE RECRUITERS ARMY
01:15:14:00	01:15:14:00	MILITARY RECRUITERS AND
01:15:14:00	01:15:18:00	PROVIDING OTHER TYPES OF EVENTS
01:15:18:00	01:15:21:00	AND ACTIVITIES TO DISCUSS THOSE
01:15:21:00	01:15:22:00	CHALLENGES AGAIN WHICH YOU JUST
01:15:22:00	01:15:25:00	MENTIONED THE LACK
01:15:25:00	01:15:26:00	OF REPRESENTATION IN PUBLIC
01:15:26:00	01:15:27:00	SAFETY FOR ASIAN-AMERICANS ON
01:15:27:00	01:15:30:00	THURSDAY WE'RE HOSTING I MEAN
01:15:30:00	01:15:31:00	THAT WAS THERE ARE A LACK
01:15:31:00	01:15:33:00	OF URGENCY FOR A LOT
01:15:33:00	01:15:34:00	OF DIFFERENT GROUPS.
01:15:34:00	01:15:35:00	BUT THIS IS AS AN EXAMPLE THIS
01:15:35:00	01:15:36:00	IS THE MONTH WHERE WE'RE
01:15:36:00	01:15:38:00	RECOGNIZING A LOT OF THAT.
01:15:38:00	01:15:39:00	SO WE'RE ACTUALLY HOSTING A
01:15:39:00	01:15:41:00	DISCUSSION WITH STATE POLICE,

01:15:45:00	01:15:45:00	DISPARITIES IN THE

01:15:48:00	01:15:49:00	COMMUNITIES TO TO REALLY TALK

01:16:18:00	01:16:20:00	THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
01:16:20:00	01:16:21:00	THANK YOU.
01:16:21:00	01:16:24:00	CONSERVATION COUNCIL MURPHY,
01:16:24:00	01:16:25:00	YOU HAVE THE FLOOR FOR THANK
01:16:25:00	01:16:25:00	YOU.
01:16:25:00	01:16:29:00	JUST TO FOLLOW UPS, ONE IS ON
01:16:29:00	01:16:31:00	THE CADET BUT ALSO WANTED TO
01:16:31:00	01:16:35:00	TALK ABOUT THE SPECIAL UNITS.
01:16:35:00	01:16:38:00	WE TALKED EARLIER ABOUT THE CUT
01:16:38:00	01:16:40:00	TO MAYBE A HALF A MILLION TO
01:16:40:00	01:16:42:00	PERSONNEL AND WE KNOW THAT
01:16:42:00	01:16:43:00	THAT'S A DOMINO EFFECT OFTEN
01:16:43:00	01:16:46:00	THAT WE THEN CAN'T PROMOTE IF
01:16:46:00	01:16:46:00	WE'RE NOT GETTING, YOU KNOW,
01:16:46:00	01:16:50:00	FROM BEHIND AND SHOT ALSO THE
01:16:50:00	01:16:51:00	MARINE UNIT FLEET WHICH YOU
01:16:51:00	01:16:54:00	KNOW, LIKE YESTERDAY THE DOVE
01:16:54:00	01:16:55:00	TEAM MANY PEOPLE DON'T EVEN
01:16:55:00	01:16:58:00	REALIZE THAT OUR BOSTON FIRE
01:16:58:00	01:16:58:00	HAVE A DOVE TEAM.
01:16:58:00	01:16:59:00	RIGHT.
01:16:59:00	01:17:00:00	SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.
01:17:00:00	01:17:02:00	ALSO YOUR VOLUNTEER FOOD TRUCK
01:17:02:00	01:17:03:00	I OFTEN THINK HOW YOU SHOW UP
01:17:03:00	01:17:06:00	ON ALL FIRST RESPONDERS BUT
01:17:06:00	01:17:07:00	ESPECIALLY FIREFIGHTERS AND
01:17:07:00	01:17:09:00	PROBABLY PEOPLE WORST DAY THEIR
01:17:09:00	01:17:10:00	HOUSE IS ON FIRE THEN MAYBE
01:17:10:00	01:17:13:00	BECOME HOMELESS CAR ACCIDENTS,
01:17:13:00	01:17:17:00	YOU KNOW, JUST LOSS OF LIFE SO
01:17:17:00	01:17:17:00	JUST THINKING AHEAD ABOUT THE
01:17:17:00	01:17:21:00	SPECIAL UNITS AND IS THAT GOING
01:17:21:00	01:17:22:00	TO EFFECT AND I KNOW WE SAID
01:17:22:00	01:17:23:00	WE'D TALK MORE ABOUT IT WHEN WE
01:17:23:00	01:17:27:00	KIND OF LOOK INTO THOSE YOU
01:17:27:00	01:17:28:00	MENTIONED THAT THE POLICE HAVE
01:17:28:00	01:17:31:00	AN 85 PERCENT RETENTION BUT
01:17:31:00	01:17:32:00	EARLIER WHEN I ASKED YOU SAID
01:17:32:00	01:17:32:00	IT WAS A THIRD.
01:17:32:00	01:17:35:00	SO IF WE HAVE 32 STUDENTS
01:17:35:00	01:17:36:00	THAT'S ABOUT TEN POINT FIVE.
01:17:36:00	01:17:39:00	SO 11 CADETS WOULD PROBABLY BE
01:17:39:00	01:17:43:00	ABLE TO MOVE ON TO THE ACADEMY.
01:17:43:00	01:17:44:00	SO WHAT?
01:17:44:00	01:17:47:00	SO IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE SAYING
01:17:47:00	01:17:48:00	WITHIN THE TWO YEARS TO YOU
01:17:48:00	01:17:51:00	THAT YOU'RE TAKING IT BECAUSE
01:17:51:00	01:17:52:00	IT'S A TWO YEAR FOR THE ACADEMY
01:17:52:00	01:17:55:00	THAT IT WOULD BE 60 FOR A THIRD
01:17:55:00	01:17:59:00	OF 64 NOT A NORMAL YEAR.
01:17:59:00	01:18:00:00	OK, SO THERE'S TWO KIND
01:18:00:00	01:18:01:00	OF SEPARATE QUESTIONS THERE.
01:18:01:00	01:18:05:00	SO THE CADET PROGRAM YOU CAN
01:18:05:00	01:18:06:00	WORK FOR TWO YEARS AND HALF
01:18:06:00	01:18:10:00	PREFERENCE WE CAN KEEP THEM
01:18:10:00	01:18:10:00	LONGER.
01:18:10:00	01:18:14:00	SO IF I'M 18 I CAN TECHNICALLY
01:18:14:00	01:18:14:00	WORK UNTIL I'M 28.
01:18:14:00	01:18:18:00	SO THE 85 PERCENT RETENTION FOR
01:18:18:00	01:18:22:00	BPD IS REFLECTED IN HIRED AS A
01:18:22:00	01:18:22:00	CADET AND THEN EVENTUALLY
01:18:22:00	01:18:25:00	BECOME A POLICE OFFICER.
01:18:25:00	01:18:26:00	SO THAT'S 85 PERCENT RETENTION
01:18:26:00	01:18:30:00	AS RELATES TO CADETS BEING
01:18:30:00	01:18:33:00	HIRED AND THEN GOING TO AN
01:18:33:00	01:18:34:00	ACADEMY FOR OUR PROGRAM.
01:18:34:00	01:18:38:00	IF WE LOOK AT 20 25 AND LET'S
01:18:38:00	01:18:41:00	SAY WE HAVE 32 CADETS THAT
01:18:41:00	01:18:41:00	WOULD HAVE RETENTION AT THAT
01:18:41:00	01:18:45:00	PARTICULAR TIME A THIRD OF THEM
01:18:45:00	01:18:46:00	CLOSE TO A THIRD OF THEM WOULD
01:18:46:00	01:18:49:00	BE ELIGIBLE FOR FOR APPOINTMENT
01:18:49:00	01:18:50:00	AS LONG AS WE KEPT IT
01:18:50:00	01:18:52:00	CONSISTENT WITH THE NUMBERS
01:18:52:00	01:18:53:00	THAT WE'D BE ASKING FOR IF WE
01:18:53:00	01:18:56:00	GOT A GRANT AND MAYBE YOU KNOW,
01:18:56:00	01:18:57:00	AGAIN WE HAD 90 EXACTLY KNOW
01:18:57:00	01:19:00:00	THAT WE HAD TWENTY TWENTY TWO
01:19:00:00	01:19:03:00	WE HAD A GRANT FOR FOUR NINETY
01:19:03:00	01:19:05:00	WE WOULD HAVE CLOSE TO 30 TO 30
01:19:05:00	01:19:05:00	CADETS READY TO GO.
01:19:05:00	01:19:08:00	SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS WILL BE
01:19:08:00	01:19:11:00	LOOKING TO TRY TO, YOU KNOW, BE
01:19:11:00	01:19:12:00	PARALLEL TO OUR RECRUITMENT AND
01:19:12:00	01:19:15:00	IN HIRING AND PRACTICES AND I
01:19:15:00	01:19:16:00	APPRECIATE THAT.
01:19:16:00	01:19:19:00	YOU KNOW, IT'S A FIRST YEAR SO
01:19:19:00	01:19:20:00	WE DON'T HAVE PAST DATA BUT
01:19:20:00	01:19:23:00	WHAT IS A DATE?
01:19:23:00	01:19:24:00	WE PLAN ON BRINGING IN THE
01:19:24:00	01:19:26:00	SECOND GROUP OF CADETS AND
01:19:26:00	01:19:27:00	PREVIOUS APPLICANTS HAVE
01:19:27:00	01:19:28:00	PREFERENCE AND INTERVIEWS IF
01:19:28:00	01:19:31:00	THEY MADE IT ALMOST ALL THE WAY
01:19:31:00	01:19:32:00	BUT JUST DIDN'T GET PICKED,
01:19:32:00	01:19:34:00	THEN THERE WAS REALLY NO REASON
01:19:34:00	01:19:35:00	THAT WOULD MAKE THEM NOT BE
01:19:35:00	01:19:38:00	ELIGIBLE IF THEY APPLY AGAIN,
01:19:38:00	01:19:39:00	WILL THEY HAVE A PREFERENCE FOR
01:19:39:00	01:19:40:00	INTERVIEW AND WHAT TIME DO YOU
01:19:40:00	01:19:42:00	THINK SOMETHIN 2024 WILL WE BE
01:19:42:00	01:19:46:00	BRINGING IN THE SECOND CADET
01:19:46:00	01:19:46:00	CLASS?
01:19:46:00	01:19:47:00	I WOULD SAY AT THIS POINT WE
01:19:47:00	01:19:50:00	COULD EITHER LOOK AT SPLITTING
01:19:50:00	01:19:54:00	UP THE THIRTY TWO THAT WE PLAN
01:19:54:00	01:19:55:00	OR HIRE FOR A FALL IN A
01:19:55:00	01:19:57:00	SEPARATE CLASS BUT WE'RE GOING
01:19:57:00	01:19:58:00	TO CONTINUE TO EVALUATE THE
01:19:58:00	01:20:01:00	PROGRAM IN ALSO WE HAVE TO
01:20:01:00	01:20:02:00	THINK ABOUT THE DEPLOYMENT
01:20:02:00	01:20:03:00	OF THE RESOURCES IN TERMS
01:20:03:00	01:20:05:00	OF WHAT THEY'LL BE DOING ALL
01:20:05:00	01:20:06:00	THINGS BEING EQUAL IF WE SAID
01:20:06:00	01:20:09:00	THIS TIME NEXT YEAR IS THE
01:20:09:00	01:20:10:00	TIMEFRAME THAT WE WOULD LOOK TO
01:20:10:00	01:20:13:00	HIRE THIRTY TWO AND I WOULD
01:20:13:00	01:20:14:00	PERSONALLY INVITE ANYONE THAT
01:20:14:00	01:20:17:00	APPLIED LAST TIME AND DIDN'T
01:20:17:00	01:20:18:00	GET ON TO TO ACTUALLY APPLY
01:20:18:00	01:20:18:00	AGAIN.
01:20:18:00	01:20:22:00	I DON'T WANT TO I WANT TO SHY
01:20:22:00	01:20:22:00	AWAY FROM THE WORD PREFERENCE
01:20:22:00	01:20:25:00	IF THEY WERE A FINALIST THEY
01:20:25:00	01:20:26:00	WOULD CERTAINLY BE A STRONG
01:20:26:00	01:20:27:00	CANDIDATE FOR THE NEXT TIME AND
01:20:27:00	01:20:28:00	AGAIN THEY WOULD PERSONALLY BE
01:20:28:00	01:20:29:00	ENCOURAGED TO I WOULD
01:20:29:00	01:20:29:00	PERSONALLY REACH OUT TO THEM,
01:20:29:00	01:20:32:00	ENCOURAGE THEM TO APPLY AGAIN.
01:20:32:00	01:20:33:00	THANK YOU.
01:20:33:00	01:20:33:00	THANK YOU.
01:20:33:00	01:20:36:00	THANK YOU.
01:20:36:00	01:20:40:00	I WANTED TO I DIDN'T REALIZE
01:20:40:00	01:20:43:00	HOW MUCH MY COLLEAGUES HAVE THE
01:20:43:00	01:20:44:00	SAME SIMILAR QUESTIONS AS MINE
01:20:44:00	01:20:48:00	BUT I DID WANT TO GO BACK TO
01:20:48:00	01:20:51:00	CASTLE BAKER'S POINT I I AGREE
01:20:51:00	01:20:54:00	THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE PREFERRED
01:20:54:00	01:20:58:00	BY NEPOTISM OR THAT FAMILY
01:20:58:00	01:20:59:00	MEMBERS OF ELECTED OR ANY
01:20:59:00	01:21:02:00	OF THAT.
01:21:02:00	01:21:03:00	BUT I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS
01:21:03:00	01:21:07:00	ABOUT THE PROCESS IN TERMS
01:21:07:00	01:21:07:00	OF THE CADET PROGRAM BECAUSE
01:21:07:00	01:21:10:00	I'M VERY INTERESTED LAST YEAR
01:21:10:00	01:21:11:00	WHEN WE MET WE TALKED A LOT
01:21:11:00	01:21:14:00	ABOUT DIVERSITY AND SO I'M
01:21:14:00	01:21:14:00	REALLY INTERESTED IN HOW
01:21:14:00	01:21:17:00	SUCCESSFUL WE'RE BEING.
01:21:17:00	01:21:19:00	I THINK IT'S ALMOST LIKE I'M
01:21:19:00	01:21:22:00	KIND OF BEING KNOWN FOR THE
01:21:22:00	01:21:23:00	LIKE THE RACIAL EQUITY
01:21:23:00	01:21:25:00	COUNSELOR.
01:21:25:00	01:21:26:00	SO MOST OF MY FOCUS IS GOING TO
01:21:26:00	01:21:28:00	BE ABOUT HOW DO WE SUPPORT
01:21:28:00	01:21:29:00	PEOPLE THAT ARE HISTORICALLY
01:21:29:00	01:21:34:00	DISENFRANCHIZED AND SO IN TERMS
01:21:34:00	01:21:35:00	OF THE DISCREPANCY IN THE
01:21:35:00	01:21:38:00	DEPARTMENT AND OUTSIDE OF THE
01:21:38:00	01:21:39:00	CADET PROGRAM LIKE WHAT ELSE IS
01:21:39:00	01:21:42:00	BEING DONE AND ALSO THE
01:21:42:00	01:21:46:00	QUESTION ABOUT IN TERMS
01:21:46:00	01:21:48:00	OF PREFERENCE THE SAME COULD BE
01:21:48:00	01:21:49:00	SAID RIGHT.
01:21:49:00	01:21:50:00	SO LET'S SAY THAT AN ELECTED
01:21:50:00	01:21:53:00	OFFICIAL OR SOMEONE IN THE
01:21:53:00	01:21:53:00	DEPARTMENT DID NOT TELL YOU
01:21:53:00	01:21:57:00	THAT THEY HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER
01:21:57:00	01:21:57:00	APPLYING.
01:21:57:00	01:21:58:00	THEY DON'T WANT ANY FAVORS.
01:21:58:00	01:22:01:00	THE CADET THE CANDIDATE IS A
01:22:01:00	01:22:01:00	GREAT CANDIDATE.
01:22:01:00	01:22:02:00	THE SAME COULD BE SAID THAT
01:22:02:00	01:22:05:00	SOMEONE IN THE CADET PROGRAM
01:22:05:00	01:22:06:00	COULD RETALIATE IF THEY DON'T
01:22:06:00	01:22:08:00	LIKE THE ELECTED OFFICIAL.
01:22:08:00	01:22:10:00	SO I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO BE
01:22:10:00	01:22:12:00	VERY CAREFUL IN TERMS OF MAKING
01:22:12:00	01:22:13:00	SURE THAT WE'RE VERY
01:22:13:00	01:22:14:00	TRANSPARENT ABOUT THE PROCESS
01:22:14:00	01:22:17:00	BECAUSE WE DO GET A LOT
01:22:17:00	01:22:21:00	OF ANSWERS AND MY OUR JOB HERE
01:22:21:00	01:22:22:00	IS TO NOT ONLY BE TRANSPARENT
01:22:22:00	01:22:24:00	BUT ALSO TO MAKE SURE THAT
01:22:24:00	01:22:25:00	THERE'S FAIRNESS ACROSS THE
01:22:25:00	01:22:28:00	BOARD SO THE IT WOULD SEEM THAT
01:22:28:00	01:22:32:00	THE CADET PROGRAM PURPOSES IS
01:22:32:00	01:22:33:00	TO INCREASE DIVERSITY BUT THE
01:22:33:00	01:22:36:00	NUMBERS THE ENDING NUMBER FELT
01:22:36:00	01:22:37:00	LIKE IT WASN'T VERY DIVERSE.
01:22:37:00	01:22:38:00	CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT AND CAN
01:22:38:00	01:22:40:00	YOU EXPLAIN TO ME HOW MANY
01:22:40:00	01:22:43:00	PEOPLE APPLIED THEIR
01:22:43:00	01:22:44:00	DEMOGRAPHICS, HOW MANY PEOPLE
01:22:44:00	01:22:47:00	ACTUALLY WAS APPROVED, THEIR
01:22:47:00	01:22:48:00	DEMOGRAPHICS AND DO YOU FEEL AS
01:22:48:00	01:22:51:00	SOMEONE WHO IS STRIVING TO
01:22:51:00	01:22:52:00	BUILD DIVERSITY IN THE
01:22:52:00	01:22:55:00	DEPARTMENT, DO YOU FEEL THAT
01:22:55:00	01:22:56:00	THE CADET PROGRAM IS SUCCESSFUL
01:22:56:00	01:22:59:00	AND HOW WOULD WE MAKE IT
01:22:59:00	01:22:59:00	BETTER?
01:22:59:00	01:23:00:00	WELL, ABSOLUTELY SO THANK YOU
01:23:00:00	01:23:03:00	FOR THE QUESTION MADAM CHAIR

01:23:07:00	01:23:07:00	OUTCOME OF THE APPLICANT POOL.
01:23:07:00	01:23:10:00	WE DON'T HAVE THE DATA ON THE
01:23:10:00	01:23:11:00	NUMBER OF APPLICANTS IN TERMS
01:23:11:00	01:23:15:00	OF THEIR DEMOGRAPHIC BECAUSE WE
01:23:15:00	01:23:16:00	DON'T ON OUR SIDE THE EISEN'S
01:23:16:00	01:23:18:00	WE CAN'T SEE RACE, GENDER OR
01:23:18:00	01:23:19:00	ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE WE CAN
01:23:19:00	01:23:22:00	ONLY SEE ONCE WE'VE STARTED TO
01:23:22:00	01:23:26:00	TO INTERVIEW THE CANDIDATES

01:23:27:00	01:23:29:00	CANDIDATES RIGHT NOW REPRESENT
01:23:29:00	01:23:33:00	UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES
01:23:33:00	01:23:34:00	ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO
01:23:34:00	01:23:34:00	GENDER.
01:23:34:00	01:23:35:00	AGAIN, I MENTIONED TWENTY EIGHT
01:23:35:00	01:23:41:00	PERCENT OF THE CADETS ARE WOMEN
01:23:41:00	01:23:42:00	AND SO WE FEEL WE HAVE A GOOD

01:24:00:00	01:24:00:00	OF THOSE ARE WOMEN.
01:24:00:00	01:24:04:00	SO AGAIN IF WE LOOKED AT
01:24:04:00	01:24:04:00	UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES

01:24:50:00	01:24:51:00	NINETEEN PERCENT OF THE TOTAL
01:24:51:00	01:24:53:00	POPULATION.
01:24:53:00	01:24:54:00	ONE PERSON IDENTIFIED AS MIDDLE
01:24:54:00	01:24:58:00	EAST MALE AND THEN AGAIN

01:25:25:00	01:25:27:00	I DON'T HAVE IT WITH ME TODAY
01:25:27:00	01:25:31:00	BUT FOR THE MOST PART OUR CADET

01:25:36:00	01:25:36:00	CONSISTENT WITH THE NUMBER
01:25:36:00	01:25:40:00	OF CANDIDATES THAT WE ADD.
01:25:40:00	01:25:41:00	SO IT'S PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH
01:25:41:00	01:25:41:00	THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT
01:25:41:00	01:25:44:00	APPLIED IN RESULT WERE THE BEST
01:25:44:00	01:25:47:00	CANDIDATES THAT WE FELT APPLIED
01:25:47:00	01:25:47:00	TO THE POSITION.
01:25:47:00	01:25:51:00	OK, THANK YOU.

01:25:59:00	01:26:00:00	FOURTEEN.
01:26:00:00	01:26:03:00	WE HAD APPROXIMATELY EIGHTY
01:26:03:00	01:26:04:00	THAT MADE IT THROUGH TO THE
01:26:04:00	01:26:07:00	FITNESS EVALUATE AND THEN THEY
01:26:07:00	01:26:08:00	HAD APPROXIMATELY 52 OR SO
01:26:08:00	01:26:10:00	ENDED UP AS FINALISTS SO

01:26:23:00	01:26:26:00	THEY START TO GO DOWN AGAIN.
01:26:26:00	01:26:27:00	EACH CANDIDATE PROVIDES AN
01:26:27:00	01:26:30:00	APPLICATION AND IS VETTED
01:26:30:00	01:26:34:00	THROUGH OUR INVESTIGATORS AS
01:26:34:00	01:26:35:00	WELL AND THEY'RE OBSERVED
01:26:35:00	01:26:38:00	THROUGHOUT SO IF WE HAVE AN
01:26:38:00	01:26:39:00	ORIENTATION AND THEY'RE
01:26:39:00	01:26:40:00	SUPPOSED TO BE ON TIME FOR AN
01:26:40:00	01:26:42:00	ORIENTATION AND THEY'RE LATE
01:26:42:00	01:26:43:00	FOR AN ORIENTATION THAT HAS AN
01:26:43:00	01:26:44:00	IMPACT ULTIMATELY IN THE
01:26:44:00	01:26:46:00	CANDIDATE'S FINAL SELECTION AS
01:26:46:00	01:26:46:00	WELL AS ANY OTHER OBSERVATIONS
01:26:46:00	01:26:50:00	OR EVEN THE FITNESS EVALUATION,
01:26:50:00	01:26:53:00	WE'RE NOT ONLY LOOKING AT THEIR
01:26:53:00	01:26:54:00	BEING PHYSICALLY FIT, WE'RE
01:26:54:00	01:26:54:00	LOOKING AT HOW THEY ARE
01:26:54:00	01:26:57:00	INTERACTING WITH EACH OTHER AS
01:26:57:00	01:26:58:00	COHORTS AND WHETHER OR NOT
01:26:58:00	01:26:59:00	THEY'RE ENCOURAGING ONE ANOTHER
01:26:59:00	01:27:01:00	AND SO THOSE OBSERVATIONS ARE
01:27:01:00	01:27:02:00	ALSO VIEWED AND SO TEAM
01:27:02:00	01:27:05:00	MATESHIP AND ALL THAT
01:27:05:00	01:27:06:00	ABSOLUTELY EVERY STEP OF THE
01:27:06:00	01:27:08:00	WAY AND THEN SORRY HOW MANY
01:27:08:00	01:27:12:00	OF THE FINALISTS WERE MILITARY
01:27:12:00	01:27:16:00	OF THE FAT SUIT?
01:27:16:00	01:27:17:00	TWO OF THE 50 PLUS WERE
01:27:17:00	01:27:20:00	MILITARY CANDIDATES AND HOW
01:27:20:00	01:27:21:00	MANY OF THEM OF THE 52 SPOKE
01:27:21:00	01:27:25:00	MORE THAN ONE LANGUAGE OF THE
01:27:25:00	01:27:26:00	CAPE VERDEAN CREOLE OR SPANISH
01:27:26:00	01:27:27:00	OR HAITIAN CREOLE?
01:27:27:00	01:27:28:00	THERE'S A GOOD PORTION WE HAVE
01:27:28:00	01:27:31:00	ABOUT A THIRD MAYBE EVEN FORTY
01:27:31:00	01:27:32:00	PERCENT OF OUR CANDIDATES SPEAK
01:27:32:00	01:27:33:00	MORE THAN ONE LANGUAGE
01:27:33:00	01:27:34:00	INCLUDING AMERICAN SIGN
01:27:34:00	01:27:41:00	LANGUAGE.
01:27:41:00	01:27:42:00	CAN YOU SUBMIT IN WRITING YOUR
01:27:42:00	01:27:46:00	PROCESS FOR VETTING THE RANKING
01:27:46:00	01:27:47:00	PROCESS?
01:27:47:00	01:27:50:00	IT'S MUCH LIKE ANY CITIZEN
01:27:50:00	01:27:53:00	AGENCY IN TERMS OF RANKING I
01:27:53:00	01:27:54:00	DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS
01:27:54:00	01:27:55:00	BUT THE BPD PROCESS THAT YOU
01:27:55:00	01:27:58:00	MENTIONED THE BPD PROGRAM YOU
01:27:58:00	01:28:01:00	MENTIONED EIGHTY FIVE RETENTION
01:28:01:00	01:28:01:00	OUT OF THAT PROCESS.

01:28:05:00	01:28:05:00	PROCESS IN WRITING YOU'RE
01:28:05:00	01:28:08:00	REFERRING TO A RANKING PROCESS.
01:28:08:00	01:28:10:00	I THINK WHAT WE LOOKED AT IS
01:28:10:00	01:28:10:00	RETENTION.
01:28:10:00	01:28:13:00	THE QUESTION WAS OUT OF OUT
01:28:13:00	01:28:14:00	OF HOW MANY CADETS.
01:28:14:00	01:28:17:00	YEAH, HOW DO YOU SCORE POINTS
01:28:17:00	01:28:19:00	AND THEN SAY THIS IS IT.
01:28:19:00	01:28:21:00	CAN YOU SET CAN YOU SUBMIT THAT
01:28:21:00	01:28:23:00	PROCESS IN WRITING THE PROCESS
01:28:23:00	01:28:24:00	YOU USE WOULD THAT YOU SAID
01:28:24:00	01:28:28:00	SAME AS BP WHAT WE REFER TO THE
01:28:28:00	01:28:31:00	SAME AS BP WAS OUR PROCESS TO
01:28:31:00	01:28:32:00	BECOME A CADET AND THEN BE
01:28:32:00	01:28:35:00	APPOINTED TO A CADET CLASS.
01:28:35:00	01:28:35:00	YOU DON'T NECESSARILY RANK
01:28:35:00	01:28:38:00	CADETS AS THEY'RE GOING THROUGH
01:28:38:00	01:28:39:00	THERE ARE SOME TIEBREAKERS OR
01:28:39:00	01:28:40:00	SOME THINGS THAT MIGHT HAPPEN
01:28:40:00	01:28:43:00	IN A PERFORMANCE.
01:28:43:00	01:28:44:00	BPT THEY DON'T REALLY HAVE A
01:28:44:00	01:28:47:00	SHORTAGE OF CADETS THAT WOULD
01:28:47:00	01:28:48:00	BE ELIGIBLE GO TO A CADET CLASS
01:28:48:00	01:28:51:00	BASED ON OR TO THE ACADEMY
01:28:51:00	01:28:52:00	CLASS BASED ON THE NUMBER
01:28:52:00	01:28:52:00	OF RECRUITS.
01:28:52:00	01:28:54:00	SO IF YOU HAD UPWARDS OF 125

01:28:58:00	01:28:59:00	A THIRD YOU HAVE THIRTY PLUS
01:28:59:00	01:29:00:00	CADETS THAT COULD BE READY AND
01:29:00:00	01:29:02:00	SO THERE WAS NEVER AN
01:29:02:00	01:29:03:00	OPPORTUNITY FOR THERE TO BE
01:29:03:00	01:29:06:00	TIEBREAKERS FOR BPD WEREN'T
01:29:06:00	01:29:07:00	ESSAIBI EXCUSE ME WE WERE
01:29:07:00	01:29:10:00	ANTICIPATING TIEBREAKERS OR
01:29:10:00	01:29:11:00	FIRE AND WE'LL LOOK AT THAT
01:29:11:00	01:29:11:00	THROUGH OUR PHYSICAL
01:29:11:00	01:29:14:00	EVALUATIONS AND THEIR
01:29:14:00	01:29:15:00	PERFORMANCE THROUGHOUT WAS THE
01:29:15:00	01:29:15:00	HIGHEST SCORES THEY CAN SCORE
01:29:15:00	01:29:19:00	ON ON A CIVIL EXAM ON A CIVIL
01:29:19:00	01:29:19:00	SERVICE EXAM.

01:29:22:00	01:29:25:00	OR NINETY NINE BUT AGAIN YOU
01:29:25:00	01:29:26:00	DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THE CIVIL
01:29:26:00	01:29:27:00	SERVICE EXAM IN ORDER TO BE A
01:29:27:00	01:29:30:00	CADET YOU HAD TO TAKE THE CIVIL
01:29:30:00	01:29:30:00	SERVICE EXAM AT SOME POINT
01:29:30:00	01:29:33:00	DURING YOUR TENURE IN ORDER TO
01:29:33:00	01:29:34:00	BE APPOINTED TO AN ACADEMY
01:29:34:00	01:29:35:00	CLASS AND ALL YOU HAD TO DO IS
01:29:35:00	01:29:37:00	PASS THAT.
01:29:37:00	01:29:38:00	OH SO CADETS ARE CIVILIAN
01:29:38:00	01:29:38:00	EMPLOYEES?
01:29:38:00	01:29:42:00	YEAH THEY'RE HIRED BY THE CITY
01:29:42:00	01:29:42:00	OF BOSTON AND THEN AT SOME
01:29:42:00	01:29:45:00	POINT WITHIN WITHIN A TEN YEAR
01:29:45:00	01:29:46:00	THEY'RE EXPECTED TO PASS THE
01:29:46:00	01:29:49:00	CIVIL SERVICE EXAM.
01:29:49:00	01:29:50:00	THEIR SCORE DOESN'T NECESSARILY
01:29:50:00	01:29:50:00	DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THEY
01:29:50:00	01:29:53:00	WOULD BE APPOINTED.
01:29:53:00	01:29:54:00	IT'S JUST A PART THAT'S NOT
01:29:54:00	01:29:55:00	PART OF THE PROCESS.
01:29:55:00	01:29:56:00	IT'S NOT PART OF THE CADET
01:29:56:00	01:29:56:00	PROCESS.
01:29:56:00	01:29:57:00	NO IN TERMS OF THEIR HIRING.
01:29:57:00	01:29:58:00	SO THE THIRTY TWO APPROVED IT.
01:29:58:00	01:30:00:00	MAYBE THEY DIDN'T TAKE A TEST.
01:30:00:00	01:30:01:00	THAT'S CORRECT.
01:30:01:00	01:30:01:00	GOT IT.
01:30:01:00	01:30:04:00	AND SO THEIR CIVIL SERVICE
01:30:04:00	01:30:05:00	SCORES AND TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
01:30:05:00	01:30:08:00	ON BECOMING A CADET.
01:30:08:00	01:30:09:00	WHAT'S TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IS
01:30:09:00	01:30:12:00	THE INTERVIEW THE FITNESS
01:30:12:00	01:30:13:00	EVALUATION AND THE OBSERVATION
01:30:13:00	01:30:16:00	OF CADETS THROUGHOUT THE
01:30:16:00	01:30:17:00	PROCESS PERSONALITY TEAM AND
01:30:17:00	01:30:17:00	SHIP ALL OF THAT.
01:30:17:00	01:30:20:00	YES OK COULD YOU GET THAT
01:30:20:00	01:30:21:00	PROCESS IN WRITING?
01:30:21:00	01:30:24:00	YES, MA'AM, PLEASE.
01:30:24:00	01:30:27:00	I THINK I'LL PAUSE FOR MY
01:30:27:00	01:30:28:00	COLLEAGUES AND COME BACK TO
01:30:28:00	01:30:31:00	MORE BUDGET QUESTIONS.
01:30:31:00	01:30:32:00	I APPRECIATE YOUR WORK AND
01:30:32:00	01:30:35:00	INCREASING DIVERSITY.
01:30:35:00	01:30:39:00	I THINK THE SORRY BEFORE I GO
01:30:39:00	01:30:40:00	BACK TO YOU GUYS THE SECOND
01:30:40:00	01:30:41:00	PART OF MY QUESTION WAS WHAT
01:30:41:00	01:30:43:00	ELSE IS BEING DONE OUTSIDE
01:30:43:00	01:30:43:00	OF THE CADET PROGRAM?
01:30:43:00	01:30:47:00	I IT JUST FEELS LIKE WE'RE
01:30:47:00	01:30:50:00	CHASING THE CARROT AND IT'S
01:30:50:00	01:30:51:00	JUST A SMALL NUMBER IN
01:30:51:00	01:30:54:00	COMPARISON AND THEN AT EIGHTY
01:30:54:00	01:30:55:00	FIVE PERCENT OF A THIRTY TWO IS
01:30:55:00	01:30:59:00	STILL LOW PER YEAR TO INCREASE
01:30:59:00	01:30:59:00	DIVERSITY.
01:30:59:00	01:31:02:00	SO DO YOU SUGGEST ANY OTHER
01:31:02:00	01:31:03:00	PROGRAMS?
01:31:03:00	01:31:04:00	WELL SO AGAIN I THINK YOU MIGHT
01:31:04:00	01:31:07:00	BE MISCONSTRUING THE NUMBERS IN
01:31:07:00	01:31:08:00	TERMS OF WHAT THE QUESTION WAS
01:31:08:00	01:31:11:00	AS RELATES TO THE RETENTION
01:31:11:00	01:31:11:00	OF CADETS GOING INTO AND
01:31:11:00	01:31:14:00	BECOMING POLICE OFFICERS AND
01:31:14:00	01:31:17:00	THE IMPACT THAT IT HAS IN WHAT
01:31:17:00	01:31:18:00	THE POTENTIAL THIS PROGRAM HAS.
01:31:18:00	01:31:19:00	AGAIN, IF WE LOOKED AT THREE
01:31:19:00	01:31:22:00	YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, IF WE
01:31:22:00	01:31:23:00	RETAINED EIGHTY PERCENT OR EVEN
01:31:23:00	01:31:26:00	85 PERCENT OF JUST THE WOMEN
01:31:26:00	01:31:27:00	THAT APPLIED, THAT'S A
01:31:27:00	01:31:30:00	SIGNIFICANT IMPACT IN AN
01:31:30:00	01:31:30:00	ACADEMY CLASS IN 2025.
01:31:30:00	01:31:34:00	SO AGAIN, NOT TO SUGGEST THAT
01:31:34:00	01:31:35:00	WE'RE ONLY GOING TO HAVE THE
01:31:35:00	01:31:35:00	EIGHTY FIVE PERCENT RETENTION
01:31:35:00	01:31:37:00	BUT CADETS MAY AROUND THIRTY
01:31:37:00	01:31:41:00	THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR.
01:31:41:00	01:31:42:00	SO SOMETIMES OUR RETENTION HAS
01:31:42:00	01:31:45:00	TO DO WITH YEAH SOMETIMES OUR
01:31:45:00	01:31:46:00	RETENTION MIGHT HAVE TO DO WITH
01:31:46:00	01:31:49:00	THEM GETTING ANOTHER JOB OR
01:31:49:00	01:31:49:00	ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.
01:31:49:00	01:31:50:00	SO THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER
01:31:50:00	01:31:51:00	FACTORS THERE AND I'M HAPPY TO
01:31:51:00	01:31:53:00	SIT DOWN AND THIRTY THOUSAND
01:31:53:00	01:31:54:00	OVER THIRTY THOUSAND IS VERY
01:31:54:00	01:31:57:00	LOW BUT THESE ARE CADET
01:31:57:00	01:31:58:00	PROGRAMS MASS STATE POLICE PAYS
01:31:58:00	01:32:00:00	THEIR CADETS FORTY THOUSAND
01:32:00:00	01:32:00:00	DOLLARS A YEAR.
01:32:00:00	01:32:04:00	SO AGAIN THESE ARE COMPETITIVE
01:32:04:00	01:32:05:00	OPPORTUNITIES IN THAT THERE'S
01:32:05:00	01:32:08:00	NOTHING CLOSER TO A GUARANTEE
01:32:08:00	01:32:09:00	THAT YOU CAN GET TO BE A FIRE
01:32:09:00	01:32:11:00	CADET AND THEN BE APPOINTED TO
01:32:11:00	01:32:12:00	AN ACADEMY.
01:32:12:00	01:32:13:00	SO THE NUMBERS LIKE AN
01:32:13:00	01:32:15:00	INTERNSHIP YOU CAN CALL IT A
01:32:15:00	01:32:16:00	PAID INTERNSHIP BUT AGAIN IT'S
01:32:16:00	01:32:19:00	A IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY IF
01:32:19:00	01:32:19:00	YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
01:32:19:00	01:32:20:00	COME THROUGH.
01:32:20:00	01:32:23:00	I WILL SAY IN TERMS OF WHAT
01:32:23:00	01:32:24:00	THEY KNOW BUT I DON'T THINK I
01:32:24:00	01:32:25:00	GOT IT CONFUSED.
01:32:25:00	01:32:27:00	I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT HOW
01:32:27:00	01:32:30:00	MANY APPLY HOW MANY INTERVIEWED
01:32:30:00	01:32:32:00	, HOW MANY FINALIST, HOW MANY
01:32:32:00	01:32:34:00	APPROVED FROM THAT NOT EVERY
01:32:34:00	01:32:38:00	CADET GOES INTO THE ACADEMY.
01:32:38:00	01:32:42:00	SO THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.
01:32:42:00	01:32:42:00	IT'S A START.
01:32:42:00	01:32:44:00	IT'S A START BASED ON WHAT WE
01:32:44:00	01:32:46:00	HAVE AT OUR DISPOSAL.
01:32:46:00	01:32:48:00	SO IT IS A START I WOULD SAY
01:32:48:00	01:32:50:00	AGAIN IF YOU SAY WE'RE GOING TO
01:32:50:00	01:32:54:00	HAVE A SIXTY FOUR BY THIS TIME
01:32:54:00	01:32:55:00	NEXT YEAR THAT SO NOW WE HAVE
01:32:55:00	01:32:55:00	SIXTY FOUR APPLICANTS THE
01:32:55:00	01:32:58:00	MAJORITY OF THOSE APPLICANTS
01:32:58:00	01:32:59:00	WILL PROBABLY BE BOSTON CITY
01:32:59:00	01:33:01:00	KIDS.
01:33:01:00	01:33:02:00	THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE GOING
01:33:02:00	01:33:03:00	TO BE BOSTON CITY KIDS BE
01:33:03:00	01:33:05:00	REFLECTIVE OF THE CITY THAT WE
01:33:05:00	01:33:09:00	SERVE SO WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL
01:33:09:00	01:33:10:00	TO IMPACT BY A THIRD EACH YEAR
01:33:10:00	01:33:12:00	THEREAFTER DOESN'T NECESSARILY
01:33:12:00	01:33:16:00	HAVE TO BE TWO YEARS THE THIRD
01:33:16:00	01:33:17:00	YEAR, THE FOURTH YEAR, THE
01:33:17:00	01:33:18:00	FIFTH YEAR EVERY YEAR WE HAVE
01:33:18:00	01:33:20:00	THE ABILITY TO NOW IMPACT ON
01:33:20:00	01:33:21:00	ACADEMY CLASS.
01:33:21:00	01:33:21:00	I UNDERSTAND.
01:33:21:00	01:33:24:00	OK, SO YOU KNOW OUTSIDE OF THAT

01:37:21:00	01:37:22:00	THESE CADETS TO HELP THEM IN
01:37:22:00	01:37:22:00	THE BUILDING BECAUSE THE THE

01:37:41:00	01:37:42:00	THAT WERE IN COLLEGE AND THEY
01:37:42:00	01:37:45:00	WOULD TECHNICALLY HAVE TO GIVE
01:37:45:00	01:37:45:00	UP THEIR COLLEGE.

01:37:57:00	01:38:00:00	RAISE THIS YEAR.

01:38:04:00	01:38:05:00	THANK YOU AGAIN TO THE PANEL.
01:38:05:00	01:38:08:00	I GUESS I'M GOING TO DOVETAIL
01:38:08:00	01:38:09:00	OFF OF THE QUESTION BECAUSE I
01:38:09:00	01:38:12:00	WAS DOING HAVE MY BUDGET BUT
01:38:12:00	01:38:13:00	HERE WAS LOOKING AT THE LINE
01:38:13:00	01:38:15:00	ITEM FOR THE CADET CLASS AND I
01:38:15:00	01:38:16:00	DID THE MATH AND I WAS LIKE OH
01:38:16:00	01:38:18:00	THERE'S NO WAY THAT THAT'S THE
01:38:18:00	01:38:19:00	THE SALARY THAT OUR CADETS ARE
01:38:19:00	01:38:20:00	MAKING.
01:38:20:00	01:38:24:00	BUT YOU KNOW, I DID THE MATH
01:38:24:00	01:38:24:00	SOMEWHAT OFF FOR FOR WHATEVER
01:38:24:00	01:38:26:00	REASON WHEN I DO THE MATH IT'S
01:38:26:00	01:38:27:00	ABOUT TWENTY TWO THOUSAND.
01:38:27:00	01:38:27:00	YOU'RE SAYING IT'S THIRTY SO
01:38:27:00	01:38:30:00	THERE'S A MATH ISSUE IN THAT I
01:38:30:00	01:38:31:00	DON'T WANT TO MAKE A BIG DEAL
01:38:31:00	01:38:31:00	OF THAT.
01:38:31:00	01:38:32:00	I'M JUST SAYING THAT IT'S NOT
01:38:32:00	01:38:35:00	TOO FAR OFF FROM THE TWENTY TWO
01:38:35:00	01:38:35:00	THOUSAND THAT I'M SOMEHOW
01:38:35:00	01:38:40:00	CALCULATING IS A FULL TIME I
01:38:40:00	01:38:41:00	THINK I GUESS THAT'S A QUESTION
01:38:41:00	01:38:44:00	I COULD WORK THIRTY FIVE HOURS
01:38:44:00	01:38:45:00	A WEEK SO IT'S FULL TIME AND
01:38:45:00	01:38:46:00	THEY'RE PAID AROUND THIRTY ONE
01:38:46:00	01:38:48:00	THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR.
01:38:48:00	01:38:52:00	IS THAT IS THAT BEFORE OR AFTER
01:38:52:00	01:38:53:00	ACTUALLY I MEAN I CAN JUST STAY
01:38:53:00	01:38:56:00	ON THE JOB DESCRIPTION IN TERMS
01:38:56:00	01:38:57:00	OF WHAT YOU HAVE IS THIRTY ONE
01:38:57:00	01:39:00:00	THOUSAND THIRTY ONE THOUSAND
01:39:00:00	01:39:01:00	279 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND
01:39:01:00	01:39:03:00	SO I OH AND AN AGE REQUIREMENT
01:39:03:00	01:39:04:00	WAS FOR MOST 18 TO 25 EIGHTEEN
01:39:04:00	01:39:07:00	TO TWENTY FIVE OK I ALWAYS I
01:39:07:00	01:39:11:00	ALWAYS WORRY ABOUT THIS FROM
01:39:11:00	01:39:15:00	LIKE HOW ARE WE TEACHING OR
01:39:15:00	01:39:16:00	SHOWING OUR YOUNG KIDS THAT
01:39:16:00	01:39:19:00	THIS IS AN INVESTMENT BECAUSE
01:39:19:00	01:39:20:00	THAT'S NOT A LOT OF MONEY AND
01:39:20:00	01:39:23:00	SOMETIMES ESPECIALLY FOR FOLKS
01:39:23:00	01:39:24:00	WHO COME FROM UNDERREPRESENTED
01:39:24:00	01:39:27:00	HISTORICALLY EXCLUDED GROUPS
01:39:27:00	01:39:28:00	ARE LIKE THEY NEED A THEY NEED
01:39:28:00	01:39:29:00	MONEY TO LIKE HELP WITH THEIR
01:39:29:00	01:39:29:00	FAMILY.
01:39:29:00	01:39:31:00	THEY HAVE TO PAY BILLS.
01:39:31:00	01:39:32:00	THEY NEED TO PAY RENT.
01:39:32:00	01:39:38:00	THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR SCHOOL.
01:39:38:00	01:39:42:00	I JUST WORRY ABOUT THAT AMOUNT
01:39:42:00	01:39:43:00	BEING A BARRIER THAT CREATES
01:39:43:00	01:39:43:00	ANOTHER EQUITY ISSUE.
01:39:43:00	01:39:46:00	DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
01:39:46:00	01:39:47:00	SO LIKE WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN IN
01:39:47:00	01:39:49:00	PRACTICE?
01:39:49:00	01:39:50:00	WELL, AGAIN, JUST USING BP'S
01:39:50:00	01:39:54:00	EXAMPLE, IT'S NOT A LOT
01:39:54:00	01:39:54:00	OF MONEY.
01:39:54:00	01:39:55:00	THE MAJORITY OF THE CANDIDATES
01:39:55:00	01:39:58:00	ARE GOING TO BE LIVING AT HOME
01:39:58:00	01:39:58:00	OR LIVING WITH ROOMMATES.
01:39:58:00	01:40:02:00	IT'S HOPEFULLY A TWO TO THREE
01:40:02:00	01:40:03:00	YEAR PROCESS WHERE YOU THEN GO
01:40:03:00	01:40:06:00	INTO A AN ACADEMY CLASS WHERE
01:40:06:00	01:40:10:00	YOU'RE MAKING TRIPLE WHAT YOU
01:40:10:00	01:40:10:00	WOULD BE MAKING AS A CADET.
01:40:10:00	01:40:14:00	SO IT'S A IT'S A SACRIFICE.
01:40:14:00	01:40:17:00	YES, I WOULD SAY IF YOU WERE
01:40:17:00	01:40:18:00	LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, BUDGET
01:40:18:00	01:40:21:00	AND INCREASING FOR IN OUR SHOP
01:40:21:00	01:40:22:00	RIGHT NOW THEY'RE THEY'RE
01:40:22:00	01:40:25:00	THEY'RE NOT IN A COLLECTIVE
01:40:25:00	01:40:29:00	BARGAINING SO YOU KNOW, WE CAN
01:40:29:00	01:40:32:00	INCREASE UNIONIZED YOUR CADETS.
01:40:32:00	01:40:33:00	WE'LL DO THAT.
01:40:33:00	01:40:34:00	NO, JUST NOT WELL BUT THAT
01:40:34:00	01:40:36:00	POTENTIALLY THEIR SALARIES
01:40:36:00	01:40:36:00	COULD BE INCREASED BUT EACH
01:40:36:00	01:40:39:00	POSITION IS GOING TO BE
01:40:39:00	01:40:40:00	REVIEWED THROUGH THROUGH NACKE
01:40:40:00	01:40:41:00	AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
01:40:41:00	01:40:43:00	SO ALL OF THOSE PROCESSES THAT
01:40:43:00	01:40:44:00	YOU KNOW, LIE WITHIN THE CITY
01:40:44:00	01:40:47:00	GOVERNMENT, YOU KNOW, WE'D HAVE
01:40:47:00	01:40:48:00	TO ADHERE TO BUT YOU KNOW,
01:40:48:00	01:40:51:00	BASED YEAH.
01:40:51:00	01:40:51:00	THE COMPARISON THEY'RE MAKING A
01:40:51:00	01:40:52:00	LITTLE BIT MORE THAN ACTUALLY
01:40:52:00	01:40:54:00	BPD.
01:40:54:00	01:40:56:00	OK, BUT YEAH AND I UNDERSTAND
01:40:56:00	01:40:57:00	THAT WHAT I'M ASKING I THINK IS
01:40:57:00	01:40:59:00	A LITTLE BIT MORE IT HAS TO BE
01:40:59:00	01:41:00:00	FROM SORT OF YOUR OWN
01:41:00:00	01:41:01:00	EXPERIENCE IN THE RECRUITMENT
01:41:01:00	01:41:03:00	PROCESS AND IN TALKING TO
01:41:03:00	01:41:04:00	APPLICANTS OF POTENTIAL
01:41:04:00	01:41:07:00	APPLICANTS WHETHER BEFORE I'M
01:41:07:00	01:41:08:00	LIKE OH LET'S CRANK THIS ALL
01:41:08:00	01:41:08:00	THE WAY UP.
01:41:08:00	01:41:09:00	I DO BELIEVE THAT YOU KNOW,
01:41:09:00	01:41:11:00	PEOPLE SHOULD BE PAID JUST
01:41:11:00	01:41:12:00	WAGES ESPECIALLY IN THE CITY
01:41:12:00	01:41:14:00	WHERE IT'S THE SECOND CITY TO
01:41:14:00	01:41:14:00	RENT.
01:41:14:00	01:41:15:00	AND I UNDERSTAND THAT MOST
01:41:15:00	01:41:16:00	PEOPLE LIVING AT HOME BEFORE I
01:41:16:00	01:41:18:00	SAY CRANK IT UP, WHAT HAS BEEN
01:41:18:00	01:41:19:00	YOUR EXPERIENCE IN TALKING TO
01:41:19:00	01:41:22:00	YOUNG PEOPLE?
01:41:22:00	01:41:22:00	HAS THAT BEEN AN IMPEDIMENT?
01:41:22:00	01:41:25:00	HAVE YOU SEEN AN EQUITY ISSUE?
01:41:25:00	01:41:26:00	I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S A
01:41:26:00	01:41:27:00	SACRIFICE AND THAT'S AN
01:41:27:00	01:41:29:00	INVESTMENT TALKING TO AN
01:41:29:00	01:41:30:00	EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD OR A 20 YEAR
01:41:30:00	01:41:32:00	OLD SOMETIMES THEY MAY NOT
01:41:32:00	01:41:34:00	UNDERSTAND THAT TRADE OFF AND I
01:41:34:00	01:41:35:00	WANT TO KNOW I'M NOT ON THE
01:41:35:00	01:41:37:00	GROUND.
01:41:37:00	01:41:38:00	YOU KNOW, I DID BLASTED OUT
01:41:38:00	01:41:39:00	WITH EVERYBODY BUT I WANT TO
01:41:39:00	01:41:41:00	KNOW IF IF YOU'RE SEEING THAT
01:41:41:00	01:41:42:00	LOW WHAT WE INTERPRET AS A LOW
01:41:42:00	01:41:45:00	SALARY RIGHT.
01:41:45:00	01:41:46:00	MAYBE IT'S YOU KNOW, FOR SOME
01:41:46:00	01:41:47:00	EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD IT'S OK.
01:41:47:00	01:41:48:00	BUT I'M SAYING FOR OTHER EIGHT
01:41:48:00	01:41:49:00	YEAR OLDS I KNOW WHO ARE
01:41:49:00	01:41:49:00	FEELING RESPONSIBILITY IT'S NOT
01:41:49:00	01:41:52:00	AND HAVE YOU SEEN THAT PRESENT
01:41:52:00	01:41:53:00	ITSELF AS A BARRIER AS AN
01:41:53:00	01:41:56:00	EQUITY ISSUE EVEN FOR ENTRY
01:41:56:00	01:41:57:00	INTO THE CADET PROGRAM WHICH IS
01:41:57:00	01:42:00:00	MEANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
01:42:00:00	01:42:01:00	DIVERSIFYING THE FORCE?
01:42:01:00	01:42:02:00	DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
01:42:02:00	01:42:02:00	YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
01:42:02:00	01:42:05:00	I WOULD SAY ANY JOB CAN BE A
01:42:05:00	01:42:08:00	BARRIER RIGHT.
01:42:08:00	01:42:09:00	I COULD GO TO TARGET RIGHT.
01:42:09:00	01:42:10:00	AND MAKE MORE MONEY.
01:42:10:00	01:42:12:00	WE SEE THE YOUTH WITH THE WII
01:42:12:00	01:42:12:00	PROGRAMS RIGHT.
01:42:12:00	01:42:15:00	LIKE THEY'RE GETTING FIFTEEN
01:42:15:00	01:42:16:00	THEY GO TO TARGET MAKE
01:42:16:00	01:42:16:00	SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN AND EVEN
01:42:16:00	01:42:19:00	THOUGH THE WII IS A LEARNING
01:42:19:00	01:42:20:00	EARN MAYBE THEY GET A BETTER
01:42:20:00	01:42:23:00	LIFE TERM LIFELONG OUTCOME FROM
01:42:23:00	01:42:24:00	THAT THEY CAN MAKE MORE MONEY
01:42:24:00	01:42:27:00	RIGHT NOW IN TARGET SO THAT
01:42:27:00	01:42:28:00	TARGET SO THINKING ABOUT WHAT
01:42:28:00	01:42:29:00	THAT TRADEOFF IS AND IF OUR
01:42:29:00	01:42:31:00	YOUNG FOLKS ARE INTERNALIZING
01:42:31:00	01:42:32:00	THAT THEN YEAH I WOULD BE HAPPY
01:42:32:00	01:42:36:00	TO WORK WITH THE DEPARTMENT
01:42:36:00	01:42:36:00	WHOSE ENGAGEMENT ON A STUDY ON
01:42:36:00	01:42:38:00	THAT IN TERMS OF OUR ABILITY TO
01:42:38:00	01:42:39:00	RECRUIT WE'VE SEEN PEOPLE FROM
01:42:39:00	01:42:42:00	A YOU KNOW, SOCIOECONOMIC
01:42:42:00	01:42:46:00	STANDPOINT WHEREVER THEY ARE TO
01:42:46:00	01:42:47:00	CHOOSE THIS THIS OPPORTUNITY.
01:42:47:00	01:42:50:00	THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
01:42:50:00	01:42:51:00	ALSO HAVE A SECOND JOB WHICH
01:42:51:00	01:42:54:00	MANY DO AND GO TO SCHOOL.
01:42:54:00	01:42:55:00	I WAS ONE OF THOSE CANDIDATES.
01:42:55:00	01:42:56:00	THEY CAME ALL THE WAY FROM THE
01:42:56:00	01:42:58:00	WEST COAST HERE WORKING FULL
01:42:58:00	01:42:59:00	TIME AND WENT TO SCHOOL FULL
01:42:59:00	01:42:59:00	TIME.
01:42:59:00	01:43:01:00	AND SO THOSE SACRIFICES A
01:43:01:00	01:43:02:00	MICROCOSM OF YOUR LIFE THIS
01:43:02:00	01:43:05:00	VERSUS THIS AND REALLY TRYING
01:43:05:00	01:43:06:00	TO GIVE THEM THAT INFORMATION
01:43:06:00	01:43:06:00	AND RESOURCES.
01:43:06:00	01:43:10:00	BUT IN TERMS OF PEOPLE MAKING
01:43:10:00	01:43:11:00	DECISIONS, IT'S A TOUGH
01:43:11:00	01:43:11:00	DECISION TO MAKE.
01:43:11:00	01:43:13:00	IT IS A SACRIFICE AS A FULL
01:43:13:00	01:43:14:00	TIME JOB THAT YOU HAVE TO DO
01:43:14:00	01:43:15:00	FOR A MINIMUM OF TWO YEARS
01:43:15:00	01:43:18:00	AFTER THAT TWO YEARS, BY THE
01:43:18:00	01:43:19:00	WAY, YOU CAN GO AND DO WHATEVER
01:43:19:00	01:43:19:00	ELSE YOU WANT TO DO AND
01:43:19:00	01:43:21:00	PETITION THE COMMISSIONER WHO
01:43:21:00	01:43:22:00	APPOINTED TO THE CLASS SO YOU
01:43:22:00	01:43:23:00	DON'T HAVE TO STAY AS A CADET
01:43:23:00	01:43:25:00	AFTER THE TWO YEARS.
01:43:25:00	01:43:26:00	IT IS A TWO YEAR SACRIFICE BUT
01:43:26:00	01:43:29:00	THERE'S A REGULAR PROGRAMING
01:43:29:00	01:43:30:00	THAT EVERY CADET THAT COMES TO
01:43:30:00	01:43:33:00	OUR PROGRAM IS ALSO GOING TO BE
01:43:33:00	01:43:33:00	EMT CERTIFIED.
01:43:33:00	01:43:34:00	SO LET'S SAY AFTER THE TWO
01:43:34:00	01:43:37:00	YEARS THEY DECIDE I'M NOT READY
01:43:37:00	01:43:38:00	TO BE A FIREFIGHTER, I WANT TO
01:43:38:00	01:43:41:00	GO BE AN EMT FOR OUR EMS THAT
01:43:41:00	01:43:42:00	YOU CAN DO THAT AND YOU CAN BE
01:43:42:00	01:43:46:00	CLOSER TO 60000 AND MAYBE COME
01:43:46:00	01:43:46:00	OVER AND AGAIN CONTINUE TO TO
01:43:46:00	01:43:49:00	WORK TOWARD ULTIMATELY BECOMING
01:43:49:00	01:43:50:00	A FIREFIGHTER.
01:43:50:00	01:43:50:00	INCREDIBLE.
01:43:50:00	01:43:53:00	I HAVE ONE OTHER LINE
01:43:53:00	01:43:54:00	OF QUESTIONING THAT RELATES TO
01:43:54:00	01:43:55:00	A QUESTION THAT COUNCILOR BAKER
01:43:55:00	01:43:56:00	WAS ASKING IN TERMS OF OUR
01:43:56:00	01:43:57:00	ABILITY TO DO WORK INTERNALLY
01:43:57:00	01:44:00:00	RATHER THAN CONTRACTING OUT.
01:44:00:00	01:44:01:00	WHEN I LOOK AT THE LINE ITEM
01:44:01:00	01:44:02:00	FOR MAINTENANCE, CHECK FOR A
01:44:02:00	01:44:04:00	CARPENTER FOR PAINTER PLUMBER
01:44:04:00	01:44:09:00	ANOTHER PLUMBER IT LOOKS LIKE
01:44:09:00	01:44:12:00	IT'S IT'S MOSTLY LIKE ONE ONE
01:44:12:00	01:44:13:00	ONE TWO FOUR PLUMBERS IS AT AN
01:44:13:00	01:44:17:00	AREA WHERE IF THERE'S TO BE
01:44:17:00	01:44:17:00	PERSONNEL INCREASE IT WOULD BE
01:44:17:00	01:44:27:00	IN THOSE LINE ITEMS TO GET
01:44:27:00	01:44:28:00	BECAUSE I'M ASSUMING IS THIS
01:44:28:00	01:44:29:00	LIKE ONE CARPENTER FOR THE
01:44:29:00	01:44:29:00	ENTIRE DEPARTMENT?
01:44:29:00	01:44:30:00	WE DON'T HAVE A CARPENTER AT
01:44:30:00	01:44:31:00	THIS POINT.
01:44:31:00	01:44:31:00	THERE WAS NEVER ALLOCATED A
01:44:31:00	01:44:31:00	CARPENTER.
01:44:31:00	01:44:32:00	WE HAVE ONE PLUMBER THAT WE
01:44:32:00	01:44:33:00	COULD USE WHILE WE FIND THEM
01:44:33:00	01:44:34:00	BECAUSE IT'S US TOO THAT THERE
01:44:34:00	01:44:35:00	IS IS THIS BUDGETED FOR TWO?
01:44:35:00	01:44:36:00	YEAH, THERE'S ONLY ONE PLUMBER
01:44:36:00	01:44:38:00	AT THE CURRENT TIME THE THE
01:44:38:00	01:44:39:00	PLUMBERS HAVE TO CONTRACT A LOT
01:44:39:00	01:44:42:00	OF WORK OUT WHICH IS A LITTLE
01:44:42:00	01:44:43:00	IT'S EXPENSIVE.
01:44:43:00	01:44:47:00	I THINK THAT'S WRONG.
01:44:47:00	01:44:48:00	I THINK WE COULD USE A LOT
01:44:48:00	01:44:50:00	OF IN-HOUSE I WOULD LOVE TO SEE
01:44:50:00	01:44:51:00	A HEATING PERSON IN HOUSE THAT
01:44:51:00	01:44:54:00	COULD FIX THESE FURNACES WE
01:44:54:00	01:44:55:00	HAVE TO SUB EVERY FURNACE
01:44:55:00	01:44:57:00	REPAIR OF AND IT'S VERY COMMON
01:44:57:00	01:44:58:00	IN THE WINTER THEY HAVE THESE
01:44:58:00	01:44:59:00	OLD BUILDINGS WITH THE FURNACES
01:44:59:00	01:45:02:00	MALFUNCTIONING AND MY APOLOGIES
01:45:02:00	01:45:03:00	IF I MISSED YOUR ANSWER TO
01:45:03:00	01:45:06:00	COUNCILOR BAKER.
01:45:06:00	01:45:07:00	IF YOU ASK THIS QUESTION WHAT
01:45:07:00	01:45:07:00	IS THE IMPEDIMENT TO US BEING
01:45:07:00	01:45:10:00	ABLE TO HIRE MORE FOLKS
01:45:10:00	01:45:10:00	IN-HOUSE?
01:45:10:00	01:45:14:00	IT'S JUST A BUDGET AND
01:45:14:00	01:45:14:00	COMPENSATION.
01:45:14:00	01:45:15:00	THEY COULD BE MAKING MORE
01:45:15:00	01:45:15:00	MONEY.
01:45:15:00	01:45:18:00	THE INDEPENDENT PLUMBER
01:45:18:00	01:45:18:00	ELSEWHERE.
01:45:18:00	01:45:19:00	YEAH, I MEAN IF YOU WANT TO
01:45:19:00	01:45:21:00	LOOK AT IT THIS WAY, I BELIEVE
01:45:21:00	01:45:22:00	THAT THE CITY REQUIRES
01:45:22:00	01:45:23:00	EVERYBODY THAT BUILDS A
01:45:23:00	01:45:26:00	BUILDING IN THE CITY TO GET A
01:45:26:00	01:45:26:00	UNION WAGE.
01:45:26:00	01:45:27:00	AM I CORRECT IN THAT?
01:45:27:00	01:45:29:00	SO WHY WOULDN'T THEY GIVE THE
01:45:29:00	01:45:30:00	PLUMBER AND THE AND THE
01:45:30:00	01:45:33:00	CARPENTER A UNION WAGE THAT
01:45:33:00	01:45:34:00	WORKS FOR THE CITY?
01:45:34:00	01:45:36:00	I THINK THAT'S A FAIR TRADE OFF
01:45:36:00	01:45:38:00	, YOU KNOW, SO IT'S GETTING THE
01:45:38:00	01:45:40:00	POSITIONS FILLED, GET THEM
01:45:40:00	01:45:41:00	BUDGETED.
01:45:41:00	01:45:42:00	THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD BE A
01:45:42:00	01:45:44:00	GOOD THING FOR ALL OF US I
01:45:44:00	01:45:45:00	THINK THAT STOP GIVING THESE
01:45:45:00	01:45:48:00	CONTRACTORS ALL THAT MONEY TO
01:45:48:00	01:45:48:00	KEEP IT IN-HOUSE.
01:45:48:00	01:45:49:00	I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE OTHER
01:45:49:00	01:45:52:00	THING ABOUT DIVERSITY.
01:45:52:00	01:45:53:00	WE HAVE A PROGRAM CALLED
01:45:53:00	01:45:56:00	COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT PROGRAM.
01:45:56:00	01:45:57:00	I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE AWARE
01:45:57:00	01:45:57:00	OF IT.
01:45:57:00	01:45:58:00	IT'S A BASKETBALL LEAGUE THAT
01:45:58:00	01:46:01:00	IS RUN WITH THE USER OF IT.
01:46:01:00	01:46:01:00	IT'S PRETTY COOL.
01:46:01:00	01:46:05:00	THE COUNCIL ARE ALL THE THE
01:46:05:00	01:46:05:00	COACHES ARE FIREFIGHTERS AND
01:46:05:00	01:46:08:00	THEY INTERACT WITH THE
01:46:08:00	01:46:09:00	COMMUNITY AND THEY ADVOCATE
01:46:09:00	01:46:11:00	OF THE PLAYERS TO BE
01:46:11:00	01:46:12:00	FIREFIGHTERS AND AND THEY SET A
01:46:12:00	01:46:16:00	ROLE MODEL THAT REALLY I THINK
01:46:16:00	01:46:17:00	CHIEF MARSHALL IS ONE OF THEM,
01:46:17:00	01:46:17:00	RIGHT?

01:46:20:00	01:46:21:00	GAME BUT THEY LIKE TO BEAT HIM
01:46:21:00	01:46:22:00	WHEN HE PLAYS SO YEAH.
01:46:22:00	01:46:24:00	YEAH THAT'S A GREAT ANOTHER
01:46:24:00	01:46:27:00	OUTLET THAT WE ACCESS TO THE
01:46:27:00	01:46:28:00	COMMUNITY TO PROVE THAT BECAUSE
01:46:28:00	01:46:29:00	A LOT OF KIDS DON'T KNOW ABOUT
01:46:29:00	01:46:32:00	FOUR FIVE OR APARTMENT THEY
01:46:32:00	01:46:32:00	DON'T HAVE THE INTERACTION WITH
01:46:32:00	01:46:33:00	THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IF THEY
01:46:33:00	01:46:35:00	DON'T HAVE AN EMERGENCY NOW SO
01:46:35:00	01:46:36:00	THEY DON'T KNOW WHO WE ARE,
01:46:36:00	01:46:37:00	THEY KNOW WHAT THE POLICE ARE
01:46:37:00	01:46:38:00	BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHO WE ARE.
01:46:38:00	01:46:40:00	SO THEY'RE NOT LOOKING OR THEY
01:46:40:00	01:46:40:00	CAN'T SEE THEMSELVES AS LIKE
01:46:40:00	01:46:41:00	THIS IS A POSSIBILITY.
01:46:41:00	01:46:41:00	YES.
01:46:41:00	01:46:43:00	YEAH, IT'S ALL THAT COME IN
01:46:43:00	01:46:47:00	CONTACT WITH MORE KIDS IN THE
01:46:47:00	01:46:47:00	NEIGHBORHOOD IS VERY IMPORTANT.
01:46:47:00	01:46:48:00	THAT'S WHY I ADVOCATE THE
01:46:48:00	01:46:51:00	FIREHOUSE DOES HAVE THEIR DOORS
01:46:51:00	01:46:52:00	OPEN ALL SUMMER SO PEOPLE CAN
01:46:52:00	01:46:52:00	COME AND GO.
01:46:52:00	01:46:55:00	THERE'S A RESTROOM ON THE MAIN
01:46:55:00	01:46:55:00	FLOOR.
01:46:55:00	01:46:56:00	THEY CAN TALK TO FIREFIGHTERS.
01:46:56:00	01:46:58:00	IT'S A BIG DEAL TO JUST REACH

01:47:04:00	01:47:06:00	THEY RAN TO THE HOUSE RIGHT
01:47:06:00	01:47:07:00	AROUND THE CORNER.
01:47:07:00	01:47:08:00	SO IT'S A GREAT PART OF THE
01:47:08:00	01:47:10:00	COMMUNITY.

01:57:34:00	01:57:35:00	WE DON'T KNOW IT'S ALL YOU GET
01:57:35:00	01:57:36:00	THE LIST.
01:57:36:00	01:57:36:00	YEAH.
01:57:36:00	01:57:39:00	BASED BASED BASED ON THE
01:57:39:00	01:57:42:00	NUMBERS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE
01:57:42:00	01:57:42:00	COMING BACK.
01:57:42:00	01:57:43:00	YOU KNOW THAT AND LISTED AGAIN
01:57:43:00	01:57:46:00	I I'D BE, YOU KNOW, PRESSED TO
01:57:46:00	01:57:49:00	SAY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE PROBABLY
01:57:49:00	01:57:50:00	GOING TO BE REFLECTIVE OF THOSE
01:57:50:00	01:57:51:00	THAT ARE ENLISTED IN SERVICE AS
01:57:51:00	01:57:53:00	FAR AS DISABLED VETERANS.
01:57:53:00	01:57:57:00	SO AGAIN, IT'S NOT AS THOUGH
01:57:57:00	01:58:00:00	THE DEPARTMENT JUST SAYS, YOU
01:58:00:00	01:58:01:00	KNOW, WE DON'T WANT WE KNOW
01:58:01:00	01:58:02:00	WE'RE BETTER WITH WAS MORE
01:58:02:00	01:58:04:00	APPLICANTS ON DIFFERENT WALKS
01:58:04:00	01:58:05:00	OF LIFE AND AGAIN REFLECTED
01:58:05:00	01:58:06:00	OF THE CITY.
01:58:06:00	01:58:09:00	BUT WE'RE BOUND BY CIVIL
01:58:09:00	01:58:09:00	SERVICE IN TERMS OF OUR
01:58:09:00	01:58:12:00	SELECTION PROCESS.
01:58:12:00	01:58:13:00	YEAH, WE'RE WILL CONTINUE TO
01:58:13:00	01:58:16:00	WORK WITH RECRUITERS AND
01:58:16:00	01:58:17:00	CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THOSE
01:58:17:00	01:58:18:00	THAT ARE COMING BACK TO THE
01:58:18:00	01:58:19:00	CITY AND TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT
01:58:19:00	01:58:21:00	THEY KNOW THAT THIS IS AN
01:58:21:00	01:58:21:00	INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT AND A
01:58:21:00	01:58:23:00	GREAT CAREER.
01:58:23:00	01:58:24:00	BUT YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW WE'RE
01:58:24:00	01:58:27:00	DEFINITELY BOUND BY THE
01:58:27:00	01:58:28:00	APPLICANT POOLS AS PROVIDED BY
01:58:28:00	01:58:28:00	OUR ELIGIBLE LIST.
01:58:28:00	01:58:31:00	HOWEVER, AGAIN, BY INCREASING
01:58:31:00	01:58:32:00	OUR LANGUAGE SKILLS WITHIN THE
01:58:32:00	01:58:35:00	DEPARTMENT SOMETIMES THAT CAN
01:58:35:00	01:58:36:00	BE A AND CAN CORRELATE TO SOME
01:58:36:00	01:58:39:00	OF THE DIVERSITY WE CAN HAVE
01:58:39:00	01:58:39:00	ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO
01:58:39:00	01:58:42:00	CAPE VERDEAN CREOLE,
01:58:42:00	01:58:43:00	VIETNAMESE, CANTONESE, HAITIAN
01:58:43:00	01:58:43:00	CREOLE.
01:58:43:00	01:58:47:00	SO THOSE LANGUAGES THAT WE WERE
01:58:47:00	01:58:50:00	GRANTED WE KNOW THAT WILL HAVE
01:58:50:00	01:58:51:00	THE LEAST 15 THAT COULD BE
01:58:51:00	01:58:52:00	REPRESENTATIVE OF PEOPLE
01:58:52:00	01:58:54:00	OUTSIDE OF OR THAT WOULD
01:58:54:00	01:58:55:00	INCLUDE UNDERREPRESENTED
01:58:55:00	01:58:56:00	COMMUNITY AND THEY DON'T HAVE
01:58:56:00	01:58:57:00	TO BE DISABLED VETS.
01:58:57:00	01:58:58:00	THEY DO NOT.
01:58:58:00	01:58:59:00	OH I SEE.
01:58:59:00	01:59:02:00	HOWEVER, IF WE WERE GRANTED
01:59:02:00	01:59:03:00	SPANISH AS WELL SO IF I'M, YOU
01:59:03:00	01:59:06:00	KNOW, DISABLED VETERAN AND I AM
01:59:06:00	01:59:07:00	FLUENT IN SPANISH AS WELL, I
01:59:07:00	01:59:09:00	WOULD BE RANKED HIGHER IN A
01:59:09:00	01:59:10:00	NON-VETERAN AS WELL.
01:59:10:00	01:59:14:00	SO AGAIN THOSE NUMBERS AND
01:59:14:00	01:59:14:00	THINGS KIND OF COME TOGETHER.
01:59:14:00	01:59:17:00	MY HOPE IS TO AGAIN JUST TO
01:59:17:00	01:59:18:00	WORK WITH CIVIL SERVICE ON
01:59:18:00	01:59:22:00	GRANTING US LANGUAGE
01:59:22:00	01:59:22:00	CERTIFICATION SO WE CAN
01:59:22:00	01:59:25:00	INCREASE OUR CAPACITY TO SERVE
01:59:25:00	01:59:26:00	THE PUBLIC IN THAT ASPECT IN
01:59:26:00	01:59:28:00	TERMS OF DIFFERENT LANGUAGES
01:59:28:00	01:59:29:00	AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK
01:59:29:00	01:59:32:00	THROUGH CIVIL SERVICE
01:59:32:00	01:59:33:00	ELIGIBILITY AND RECRUITMENT
01:59:33:00	01:59:37:00	EFFORTS WITH THOSE THAT ARE
01:59:37:00	01:59:39:00	RETURNING FROM SERVICE TO COME
01:59:39:00	01:59:40:00	WITH THE DEPARTMENT.
01:59:40:00	01:59:41:00	OK, THANK YOU.
01:59:41:00	01:59:44:00	WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR BUDGET?
01:59:44:00	01:59:45:00	IS IT COMMISSIONER IS IT
01:59:45:00	01:59:48:00	YOURSELF THE MAYOR DID LIKE THE
01:59:48:00	01:59:49:00	CHIEF OF DEPARTMENTS OR HOW ARE
01:59:49:00	01:59:52:00	YOU INCLUDED IN INPUT IN THE
01:59:52:00	01:59:52:00	BUDGET?
01:59:52:00	01:59:56:00	OK, WELL WE'RE A LITTLE
01:59:56:00	01:59:56:00	DISADVANTAGED HERE BECAUSE OUR
01:59:56:00	01:59:59:00	FINANCE LADY LEFT ON US IN
01:59:59:00	02:00:00:00	APRIL SO I WOULD GO OVER THE
02:00:00:00	02:00:03:00	BUDGET WITH HER THE PREVIOUS
02:00:03:00	02:00:04:00	YEAR AND SEE WHAT I WANT TO ADD
02:00:04:00	02:00:07:00	TO IT WITH ONGOING PROJECTS WE
02:00:07:00	02:00:08:00	HAVE ON NEW PROJECTS THAT I
02:00:08:00	02:00:11:00	WOULD LIKE TO START AND THEN
02:00:11:00	02:00:11:00	SHE WOULD ALLOCATE THE FUNDS
02:00:11:00	02:00:14:00	AND PUT IT IN THE PROPOSED
02:00:14:00	02:00:15:00	BUDGET REQUEST.
02:00:15:00	02:00:16:00	IT COULD BE CAPITAL COULD BE
02:00:16:00	02:00:19:00	OPERATING AND WE COME TO YOU
02:00:19:00	02:00:23:00	AND AND THEN SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
02:00:23:00	02:00:23:00	THANK YOU.
02:00:23:00	02:00:26:00	IN THE CAPITAL PLAN I SAW
02:00:26:00	02:00:27:00	ACROSS THE BOARD LIKE A LOT
02:00:27:00	02:00:28:00	OF NEIGHBORHOODS BUT THEN THERE
02:00:28:00	02:00:30:00	WAS ZERO PLANS FOR ROXBURY.
02:00:30:00	02:00:33:00	IS THERE IS THERE ANY NEED TO
02:00:33:00	02:00:37:00	REPAIR ANYTHING IN ROXBURY?
02:00:37:00	02:00:38:00	I TELL YOU THE TWO FIREHOUSES
02:00:38:00	02:00:41:00	THAT ACTUALLY THE THREE THAT
02:00:41:00	02:00:42:00	COME TO MIND ARE IN PRETTY GOOD
02:00:42:00	02:00:42:00	SHAPE.
02:00:42:00	02:00:45:00	DUDLEY IS IN GOOD SHAPE.
02:00:45:00	02:00:46:00	IT'S ONE OF THOSE ONES THAT
02:00:46:00	02:00:49:00	WERE BUILT IN THE SEVENTIES SO
02:00:49:00	02:00:50:00	IT'S NOT THAT BAD AND IT WAS
02:00:50:00	02:00:52:00	RENOVATED I'D SAY TWO YEARS AGO
02:00:52:00	02:00:53:00	MAYBE THREE GROVE HALL WAS
02:00:53:00	02:00:57:00	RENOVATED AROUND THE SAME TIME
02:00:57:00	02:00:58:00	THEY'RE IN GOOD SHAPE.
02:00:58:00	02:01:01:00	COLUMBIA ROAD I KEEP UP ON THAT
02:01:01:00	02:01:01:00	ONE.
02:01:01:00	02:01:02:00	THAT'S A GOOD ONE.
02:01:02:00	02:01:03:00	THEY'RE PRETTY GOOD SHAPE THAT
02:01:03:00	02:01:04:00	FIREHOUSE WAS DESIGNED FOR.
02:01:04:00	02:01:08:00	BELIEVE IT OR NOT, MCCURLEY IN
02:01:08:00	02:01:09:00	THE 20S SO IT'S BEEN AROUND A
02:01:09:00	02:01:10:00	LONG TIME.
02:01:10:00	02:01:12:00	HE WENT TO NEW MEXICO, TOOK A
02:01:12:00	02:01:13:00	TRIP AND HE LIKED THE SPANISH
02:01:13:00	02:01:14:00	ARCHITECTURE SO HE CAME BACK
02:01:14:00	02:01:16:00	AND HAD THEM BUILD A FIRE
02:01:16:00	02:01:17:00	HOUSE.
02:01:17:00	02:01:18:00	LOOKS LIKE A SPANISH HOME WITH
02:01:18:00	02:01:20:00	THE STUCCO AND EVERYTHING AND
02:01:20:00	02:01:21:00	IT'S PRETTY GOOD.
02:01:21:00	02:01:21:00	IT'S IT'S SOLID.
02:01:21:00	02:01:24:00	YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN RENOVATED I
02:01:24:00	02:01:25:00	THINK TWO TO THREE YEARS AGO.
02:01:25:00	02:01:29:00	SO ROXBURY'S DOING PRETTY GOOD
02:01:29:00	02:01:29:00	THOUGH.
02:01:29:00	02:01:30:00	JUST ANOTHER STORY WE'RE
02:01:30:00	02:01:32:00	GETTING A BRAND NEW FIREHOUSE
02:01:32:00	02:01:33:00	BUT AGAIN, ENGINE 18TH IN
02:01:33:00	02:01:35:00	DORCHESTER, IT'S IN TOUGH SHAPE
02:01:35:00	02:01:35:00	.
02:01:35:00	02:01:36:00	THAT WOULD BE MY NUMBER ONE
02:01:36:00	02:01:39:00	PICK FOR A NEW FIREHOUSE.
02:01:39:00	02:01:44:00	I GUESS IT DOES LOOK OVERALL
02:01:44:00	02:01:47:00	LIKE YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY
02:01:47:00	02:01:48:00	GETTING TRUE INVESTMENTS
02:01:48:00	02:01:48:00	BECAUSE EVERYTHING ACROSS THE
02:01:48:00	02:01:52:00	BOARD IS SORT OF LIKE, YOU
02:01:52:00	02:01:53:00	KNOW, THREE MILLION, FOUR
02:01:53:00	02:01:55:00	MILLION, EIGHT MILLION IN TERMS
02:01:55:00	02:01:55:00	OF PER NEIGHBORHOOD I'M LOOKING
02:01:55:00	02:01:58:00	AT PER NEIGHBORHOOD BREAKDOWN.
02:01:58:00	02:02:03:00	AND SO IF OBVIOUSLY IF THAT'S
02:02:03:00	02:02:03:00	JUST YOU KNOW, IN PREPARATION
02:02:03:00	02:02:06:00	AND THAT WAS IN LAST YEAR AND
02:02:06:00	02:02:07:00	WE'RE STILL IN THAT SAME
02:02:07:00	02:02:10:00	PROCESS I GUESS I WONDER HOW
02:02:10:00	02:02:13:00	LONG IT WOULD ACTUALLY TAKE TO
02:02:13:00	02:02:15:00	GET TO WHERE YOU NEED TO BE.
02:02:15:00	02:02:18:00	BUT IN TERMS OF CAPITAL, I MEAN
02:02:18:00	02:02:19:00	OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S
02:02:19:00	02:02:21:00	UP TO THE MAYOR'S DISCRETION
02:02:21:00	02:02:22:00	AND WE CAN ADVOCATE I THINK THE
02:02:22:00	02:02:26:00	PROCESS IS THAT THE MAYOR NEEDS
02:02:26:00	02:02:27:00	EIGHT VOTES WELL EIGHT NOW TWO
02:02:27:00	02:02:29:00	THIRDS OF THE COUNCIL TO VOTE
02:02:29:00	02:02:30:00	FOR THE CAPITAL BUDGET AND IF
02:02:30:00	02:02:34:00	WE DISAGREE IF SHE DOESN'T GET
02:02:34:00	02:02:35:00	THE EIGHT VOTES IS BECAUSE
02:02:35:00	02:02:37:00	THERE'S AT LEAST FIVE OF US
02:02:37:00	02:02:38:00	SAYING THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME
02:02:38:00	02:02:38:00	ADJUSTMENT.
02:02:38:00	02:02:41:00	SO HOPEFULLY A CONVERSATION TO
02:02:41:00	02:02:45:00	ADVOCATE FOR YOU TO GET.
02:02:45:00	02:02:46:00	I REALLY DO APPRECIATE WHAT THE
02:02:46:00	02:02:49:00	FIRE DEPARTMENT DOES FOR ALL
02:02:49:00	02:02:49:00	OF US.
02:02:49:00	02:02:50:00	NO ONE HAS ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT
02:02:50:00	02:02:53:00	THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
02:02:53:00	02:02:54:00	YOU SAVE LIVES AND YOU WORK
02:02:54:00	02:02:56:00	EXTREMELY HARD.
02:02:56:00	02:02:57:00	OF COURSE LOOKING INTO THAT
02:02:57:00	02:03:00:00	OVERTIME BUDGET AND LOOKING AT
02:03:00:00	02:03:03:00	NUMBERS AND CAPACITY TO OFFSET
02:03:03:00	02:03:05:00	MY FEED, MY FEEDBACK OBVIOUSLY
02:03:05:00	02:03:05:00	IT'S TO US TO INCREASE
02:03:05:00	02:03:08:00	DIVERSITY AND KEEPING LENS
02:03:08:00	02:03:09:00	DIVERSE, YOU KNOW, EQUITABLE
02:03:09:00	02:03:11:00	LINES IN TERMS OF HIRING
02:03:11:00	02:03:13:00	PROCESS EVEN IF THERE IS A RANK
02:03:13:00	02:03:16:00	OBVIOUSLY YOU'LL GET A POOL
02:03:16:00	02:03:20:00	OF PEOPLE BUT I'M QUITE SURE
02:03:20:00	02:03:20:00	THAT THERE'LL BE DISABLED
02:03:20:00	02:03:21:00	VETERANS THAT ARE BLACK AND
02:03:21:00	02:03:24:00	BROWN AND OTHER BACKGROUNDS AS
02:03:24:00	02:03:24:00	WELL.
02:03:24:00	02:03:27:00	IF YOU KNOW IF WE ARE
02:03:27:00	02:03:28:00	DIVERSIFYING AND IF WE'RE
02:03:28:00	02:03:28:00	REFLECTIVE OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS
02:03:28:00	02:03:38:00	IN OUR CITY THEN AND WE'RE
02:03:38:00	02:03:39:00	TAKING CARE OF EVERYONE IT ALL
02:03:39:00	02:03:40:00	WHAT AFFECTS YOU AFFECTS ME.
02:03:40:00	02:03:41:00	SO IT ALL MAKES SENSE TO
02:03:41:00	02:03:41:00	BALANCE OUT OUR SOCIETY IN
02:03:41:00	02:03:43:00	TERMS OF YOUR PAY FOR YOUR YOU
02:03:43:00	02:03:46:00	CALL THE CIVILIAN PERSONNEL YOU
02:03:46:00	02:03:50:00	THAT I'M VERY INTERESTED IN I'M
02:03:50:00	02:03:51:00	I DON'T THINK IT'S EXCLUSIVE TO
02:03:51:00	02:03:51:00	OUR DEPARTMENT.
02:03:51:00	02:03:54:00	I THINK ALSO THE DEPARTMENT'S
02:03:54:00	02:03:55:00	THERE IN THE SAME UNIONS, THE
02:03:55:00	02:03:58:00	TWO UNIONS SO I'M SURE IF YOU
02:03:58:00	02:03:59:00	BROUGHT THEM AND YOU GET AN
02:03:59:00	02:04:02:00	EARFUL SPEAKING OF UNIONS, WE
02:04:02:00	02:04:06:00	HAVE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE SIGNED
02:04:06:00	02:04:09:00	UP FOR PUBLIC TESTIMONY.
02:04:09:00	02:04:10:00	FIRST SAM DILLON WILL GO TO OUR
02:04:10:00	02:04:14:00	PUBLIC TESTIMONY AS FAR AS YOU
02:04:14:00	02:04:14:00	KNOW, JUST WRAPPING UP THE
02:04:14:00	02:04:17:00	CONVERSATION ABOUT AK I'M WITH
02:04:17:00	02:04:17:00	YOU.
02:04:17:00	02:04:18:00	I DON'T THINK THAT PEOPLE
02:04:18:00	02:04:21:00	SHOULD GET PAID.
02:04:21:00	02:04:22:00	I THINK IT'S DISRESPECTFUL.
02:04:22:00	02:04:24:00	I THINK IF YOU IF YOU CARE
02:04:24:00	02:04:25:00	ABOUT ME, YOU RESPECT ME.
02:04:25:00	02:04:27:00	IF YOU RESPECT ME, YOU PAY ME
02:04:27:00	02:04:29:00	BECAUSE THAT MEANS I TAKE CARE
02:04:29:00	02:04:30:00	OF MY FAMILY AND I HAVE DIGNITY
02:04:30:00	02:04:33:00	AND I CAN GO TO WORK AND FEEL
02:04:33:00	02:04:34:00	PROUD TO SERVE MY CITY AND YOU
02:04:34:00	02:04:36:00	KNOW, WORK FOR THE CITY.
02:04:36:00	02:04:37:00	SO IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE BASIC
02:04:37:00	02:04:40:00	HUMAN RIGHTS RESPECT ME BECAUSE
02:04:40:00	02:04:42:00	I DO MY JOB AND I DESERVE TO
02:04:42:00	02:04:43:00	TAKE EVERY FAMILY.
02:04:43:00	02:04:44:00	SO I'M VERY INTERESTED IN THAT.
02:04:44:00	02:04:48:00	NO, DEFINITELY BE LOOKING INTO
