Councilors Bach and O'Malley are for the following order regarding a text amendment to the Boston Zoning Code with respect to parking minimums for affordable housing. Thank you, Madam Clerk. The chair now recognizes Councilor Lydia Edwards, chair of the Committee on Government Operations. Chair Edwards, the floor is yours. Thank you. And I want to thank the co-sponsors for being there yesterday, especially the lead sponsor and who was able to help conduct the hearing on my behalf, unfortunately, had a conflict and couldn't be there. That being said, I am going to turn it shortly over to one of the sponsors, Councilor Bok. But and in short, we're going to keep it in committee to continue to work on some certain issues. But we hope to move on this shortly. Thank you very much. Chair now recognizes the lead sponsor of docket 0685 and the chair of the Government Operations Committee yesterday afternoon, Counselor Kenzie Bok. The floor is yours. At 1040, which is now passed. Thank you, Mr. President. Yeah, I think Counselor Edwards and her staff was instrumental in the hearing yesterday, although I was holding the gavel. That was a great hearing. Thank you so much to the colleagues who came in addition to yourselves, Mr. President. Councilors Maria Arroyo, Braden Flynn. And we had letters from Councilor Rubin, of course, Councilor Edwards, and it was very productive. We had Dandi and the BPA and BTG there. We had some technical changes to the amendment language that had come from the dandy feedback at the last working session. But in many ways the focus yesterday was on the hearing element and really had very powerful testimony from the folks, particularly members of your action, but also from action for equity, transit matters, global streets, Fenway, CDC and a number of members of the public. So it was a really great conversation. We have a couple of outstanding questions and the speaker is checking on technical thing that we've listed all the right zoning districts. So as the chair said, I'm looking forward to partnering with her to having this out on the floor for a vote soon. But but not today. So thank you so much. Thank you very much. DUCKETT 0685 shall remain in the Committee on Government Operations Motions, orders and resolutions. Docket 1043. Edwards offered the following an ordinance amending the City of Boston Code Chapter 24 Boston Jobs and Living Wage Ordinance.
