Madam Clerk, would you please read docket 0967? Certainly. Docket 0967 Council male councilors O'Malley and Campbell are for the following order regarding civilian review board nominations. Councilor O'Malley, you have the floor. Thank you very much, Madam Chair. On July 21st of this year, Councilor Andre Campbell and I announced the procedure for our civilian review board nominations. As you know, we pass this incredible work from Chair Campbell, as well as Councilors Arroyo and Mekere. And the mechanism begins with the council, president of the council itself submitting nominations to the mayor. So working in concert with the chair of the Committee on Public Safety, Criminal Justice, I think we've done as good a process as imaginable. We've created a portal where we are seeking applications that the end date is September 20th, which is this upcoming Monday, and we have a few more days until then. So please share with your networks the link to the application portal, which can be found on our website, Boston.com City Council. Purpose of this order is to hold a working session to review the application. Applications thus far received of which we will then be submitting our nominations to the acting mayor. The mayor will appoint three members to the Civilian Review Board from a pool of nine nominees who are submitted by us. These nominees will each serve a term of three years, provided, however, that of the members first appointed, three shall be appointed for a term of one year. Three shall be appointed to a term of two years, and three shall be appointed to a term of three years. We've made available a paper copy of the application portal and have translated the application into Chinese, Cape Verde and Creole, Haitian Creole, Spanish and Vietnamese. I want to thank again the incredible work of the Chair, as well as Councilors Arroyo and Mejia, for their great partnership on this. And I look forward to getting more applications in the next couple of days and then having a transparent and open process. Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Do. But the chair now recognizes it. I'll be brief. Thank you, council President, for your leadership on this and again and get this application out. It is a beautiful thing. It's a public process. It's incredible to thank you for your leadership. Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to speak on the matter? All right. Docket 0967 will be referred to the Committee on Public Safety and Criminal Justice. Madam Chair, maybe councilors who wish to add their name. Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry. Any councilors who wish to have their name added to the docket. I see. Counselor Arroyo. Counselor Baker, Counselor Braden. Councilors Abby. George Custer Flaherty. Councilor Flynn. Councilor Macchia and Councilor Wu and Councilor Edwards. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you, Councilor Edwards. And we referred that, I believe, to public safety.
