Order for a hearing regarding Biannual Review of the Boston employment commission and Boston Residents Jobs Policy.
Join me here. Chair of the Council on Small Business and Workforce Development seeks passage of Docket 0957. All those in favor please indicate by saying I oppose any way I have it. The docket has passed. Madam Clerk, would you now please read docket 0567 Docket 0567? Councilor Edwards offered the following order for hearing regarding biannual review of the Boston Employment Commission in Boston Residents Job Policy. Thank you. The Chair recognizes Chair Lydia Edwards, Chair of the Committee on Government Operations. Councilor Edwards, the floor is yours. Thank you very much. We had our biannual our second hearing on the Boston residents job policy as as as is required by ordinance. It was a great hearing, honestly, for many reasons. One, we got some updates on the CECL course and additional pipelines that the city is trying to make. We also heard that they were finally moved formally all of their enforcement to Salesforce, which makes for real time enforcement of folks who are violating the new ordinance or construction companies. I want to thank Councilor me here, Councilor Barr, Councilor Flynn, Councilor Braden and Councilor Clarity for attending the the hearing to really kind of again direct where our concerns are. I also wanted to just use this moment now to really think, um, chair of the back um Travis Watson who came and I think some of the most powerful testimony specifically walking us through the history how we got to where we are and where we still need to go. He is now he is leaving his position as the chair of the of the commission and he will be sorely missed. He did leave us all with a message, however, that is as we go forward as a city, as a city that he hopes that whoever is picked to replace him, that it's a woman that is a woman of color who's committed to racial equity and also able to build within the jobs for, um, within the jobs coalition. We also thank the Boston Jobs Coalition again for coming to testify and echo that history. So it was a great hearing. The next one will be in April. And that's. I ask that it stay in committee and we'll continue on with the conversation. Thank you. Thank you very much. You can't say Lydia Edwards, chair of the Committee on Government Operations, requests that Duncan five, six, seven remains in her committee. Madam Clerk, would you now please read docket 0685 Docket 0685.
