Speaker 0: These are the council rules for this term, which we have updated in consultation with central staff. We will vote on this stock at first to adopt the rules so that we can assign the matter into the appropriate committee and actually hold hearings at the appropriate time. The updated rules, um, deleted some redundant sentences. He added added clarifying language in added back a previous rule about not using electronic devices. On the floor. It also includes updated names for the various committees. We will now take a vote to take docket 0205 out of order.
Speaker 2: And we didn't.
Speaker 0: Okay. Madam Clerk, please read it into the record.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Docket 0205 Council's plan offer the following order that rules of the Boston City Council will be adopted for the municipal years 2022 and 2023.
Speaker 0: Thank you, Madam Clerk. Madam Kirkland. I'll take a vote to take docket zero two out of order. All those in favor say aye. Aye. All those opposed say nay. The ayes have it. DWORKIN 0205 is now properly before the body. The Chair now moves for the adoption of Dawkins 020205. We will now take a roll call vote to adopt the rules. Yes. I'm sorry. Councilor Baker, I didn't see you there. Thank you. I just want to say, you know.
Speaker 4: Congratulations on your presidency.
Speaker 0: And I just as the dean of this delegation, the one that served in the longest continuous time, I mean, that might be a beef between you and I, but I have to get up and say that I'm uncomfortable here. Taking this vote, not knowing is the first time in in doing this.
Speaker 4: I think this is my sixth time doing this.
Speaker 0: To not know where people are on this are on committees where we're going to bring the city. So and I'm just saying that to talk to voice my concern on this I plan on voting for it. I think we I mean, there could even be opportunities to invoke Rule 33 and put it in front of a committee and talk about it a little bit, because I, for one, feel like I'm somewhat in the dark on this. And I would like to see some sort of list of what the committees are. At some point, it's after we vote on this now and again, I'm just up here, I just wanted to stand and make that public known.
Speaker 4: That I don't think that this was necessarily.
Speaker 0: A great way to assign committees, nobody knowing where they were. The only time we saw them was when people that didn't have the authority to claim committees put them in the newspaper. That should come from you. We should all know where everybody is. I don't necessarily know where I am. I think I know where I am. But I have some major concerns moving forward with what the perception of what may happen, and I'll conclude my remarks there. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr.. Thank you, Counsel Baker. Just for the record, I think I've tried over the last two months to engage every single councilor on committees, membership in committees, whether it's a chair, a vice chair, a membership. I went out of my way as much as I could to be accessible during this period of time, just to try to listen as much as I possibly could to my councilors on what they are interested in and trying to. I try to make a decision that. Helps helps the city the best way that I thought, I thought we could. And I try to match people up at best with their skills and education experience. So I'll continue to work with my colleagues. And we also have the option down the road. If people are not happy with any rules, we we certainly can file a hearing order and we could we could address it in the Rules Committee as well. The Chair now moves for the adoption of Docket 0205. We will now take a roll call vote to adopt the rules, and we would need nine votes to adopt the rules. Madam Clerk, if you can, please. If you can, please count the vote. Got a vote.
