ENSURE BOSTON IS OPERATIONALLY READY TO SUPPORT AN EVENT OF THIS SCALE AS WE PREPARE FOR FIFA WORLD CUP. BOSTON'S PUBLIC SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL AGENCIES WILL FACE
SIGNIFICANT STAFFING AND COORDINATION DEMANDS ASSOCIATED WITH PLANNING MEETINGS, TRAINING ACTIVITIES, EXERCISES, OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENTS AND EVENT RELATED READINESS ACTIVITIES.
THIS GRANT FUNDING IS SPECIFICALLY INTENDED TO OFFSET OVERTIME COSTS INCURRED BY PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES AND CRITICAL CITY DEPARTMENTS DIRECTLY SUPPORTING THESE
PREPAREDNESS AND OPERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES. THE FUNDING WILL HELP ENSURE THAT THE CITY CAN MAINTAIN DAY TO DAY PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICE WHILE ALSO SUPPORTING THE INCREASED OPERATIONAL TEMPO
REQUIRED FOR A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL EVENT. IT WILL SUPPORT COORDINATION EFFORTS AMONG EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, FIRE, POLICE, EMS, TRANSPORTATION, PUBLIC WORKS
AND OTHER CRITICAL PARTNERS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING PUBLIC SAFETY, SITUATIONAL AWARENESS, EMERGENCY RESPONSE COORDINATION AND CONTINUITY OF OPERATIONS.
OEMS ROLE IS TO COORDINATE THESE INTERAGENCY PREPAREDNESS EFFORTS AND ENSURE UNIFIED COORDINATION AMONG LOCAL, STATE ,FEDERAL AND PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNERS. AND FINALLY IMPORTANTLY, THIS
FUNDING IS NOT FOR NEW PROGRAMS OR CAPITAL PROJECTS. IT IS INTENDED TO REIMBURSE ELIGIBLE OVERTIME EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH OPERATIONAL PREPAREDNESS AND PUBLIC SAFETY
RESPONSIBILITIES NECESSARY TO SUPPORT A SECURE AND SUCCESSFUL WORLD CUP ENVIRONMENT. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAR BEFORE YOU TODAY AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY. OPENING REMARKS? ALL RIGHT. >> AND, UM, WE HAVE A PRESENTATION, CHIEF. YES. YES. CAN TAKE IT AWAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE A
QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE THE WORK UP GRANT PROGRAM. UM, HOPEFULLY I CAN GET THIS. AWESOME. SO THE PURPOSE OF THE GRANT PROGRAM WAS IS SPECIFICALLY TO ENHANCE SECURITY AND PREPAREDNESS FOR THE 2026 WORLD
CUP EVENTS BEING HELD IN UNITED STATES. THE GRANT IS ADMINISTERED BY THE DHS DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY THROUGH TO TO FEMA AND
THROUGH FEMA'S GRANT PROGRAMS. IT'S A STANDALONE ONE TIME FEDERAL GRANT PROGRAM TO SUPPORT THE SAFE EXECUTION OF THE 78 MATCHES THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN THE 11 HOST
CITIES OVER 39 DAYS. SO A LITTLE UM, SCOPE ON THE FUNDING PROCESS AND HOW IT ALL CAME ABOUT. SO THERE WERE $625 MILLION THAT
WAS AVAILABLE THROUGH FEMA. THAT WAS FOR THE 11 HOST CITIES 625 MILLION. THAT FUNDING WAS THEN PASSED FROM FEMA. WE THE CITY OF THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS GOT 46 MILLION
PASS FROM FEMA TO THE STATE AGENCY WHICH IS FS FS IS OUR UM STATE ADMINISTRATING AGENCY. SO THAT 46,000,625 ORIGINALLY THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS WAS
AWARDED 46 THE CITY OF BOSTON. WELL, FIRST OF ALL THAT MONEY WAS FUNDED FOR THIS YEAR FOR THIS GRANT. THERE WAS A DIFFERENT PROCESS B
26 IS HAD BECOME THE GRANT ADMINISTRATOR THAT THERE'S NORMALLY NOT IN GRANT ADMINISTRATIVE BETWEEN THE CITY OF BOSTON AND THE STATE. THIS IS A DIFFERENT MANDATE UH
OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT TO HOW WE OPERATE. WE OPERATE A TRADITION. SO BOSTON 26 IS NOT A GRANT ADMINISTRATIVE FOR ALL OF THE THE SUB RECIPIENTS. AND NOW THE CITY OF BOSTON THEN BECOMES A SUB RECIPIENT FOR
THAT GRANT. SO WE STARTED SIX 25,000,046 MILLION TO THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS, THEN THE CITY OF BOSTON. WE WERE AWARDED 12,572,604.
SO JUST SO YOU CAN SEE HOW FAR HOW IT ORIGINATED AND HOW IT GOT BROKEN DOWN BY CITY BY MY STATE AND THEN WHAT WE GOT AS A SUB RECIPIENT. SO SOME OF THE PURPOSE THE USES
JUST BRIEFLY SUPPORT PUBLIC SAFETY SECURITY IN EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS OPERATIONS. OBVIOUSLY THE FAN WALKS A FAN FEST UM WATCH PARTIES RELATED EVENTS. UM FUNDING IS ALSO GOING TO BE
USED OPERATIONAL OVER TIME IS UH SEARCH POLICE AND POLICE FIRE EMS UH EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL. THE INCREASE IN STAFFING ENHANCES EMERGENCY RESPONSE CAPABILITIES THROUGH OUR
EMERGENCY SERVICES, OUR UM EMERGENCY CENTERS ACTIVATION CENTER, UNIFIED COMMAND COORDINATION, INTELLIGENCE SHARING AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. IT ALSO STRENGTHEN COORDINATION AMONG LOCAL, STATE, FEDERAL HEALTH, TRANSPORTATION AND
PRIVATE SAFETY PARTNERS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SECURITY ENVIRONMENT FOR RESIDENTS, VISITORS, TEAMS, DIGNITARIES, INTERNATIONAL ATTENDEES DURING THE TOURNAMENT PERIOD.
SORRY I WAS READING IT AND IT CHANGES SO THE GRANT BUDGET. THIS IS HOW IT KIND OF BROKE DOWN HOW WE BROKE DOWN THE 12 UM 12.5 MILLION THAT WE WERE AWARDED.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTO SEE THE FROM THE FROM A SLIDE IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS AS IT RELATES TO HOW BUT WE CAN PRETTY MUCH SEE THAT HOW WE KIND OF BROKE DOWN
OF USES GRANT ALLOCATION BY DEPARTMENT HERE FROM THIS SLIDE. IN ROW. JUST TO WRAP IT UP. WE ARE WE ARE THE CITY'S LEAD AGENCY FOR INTERAGENCY
COORDINATION EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS OPERATIONAL PLANNING AND THE OPERATIONAL CENTER THAT MANAGES AND SUPPORT WORK UP SECURITY AND RESILIENCE AND RESILIENCY OPERATIONS.
SO WE WE WILL I WILL JUST TOUCH ON SOME OF THESE. UH, ONE MORE TIME. YEAH. >> I'LL JUST START WITH REGIONAL COORDINATION UNIFIED COMMAND EMERGENCY OPERATIONS
CENTER ACTIVATION AND MANAGEMENT WHICH IS GOING TO BE GOING PRETTY MUCH 16 HOURS A DAY FOR A LOT OF THE EVENTS THAT WE HAVE OPERATIONAL PLANNING AND INCIDENT
MANAGEMENT, GRANT MANAGEMENT AND CAPABILITY SUSTAINMENT, UM PUBLIC INFORMATION AND COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS, CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSPORTATION COORDINATION. TRANSPORTATION COORDINATION IS
A MAJOR PART OF THIS WHOLE PROCESS. BUT I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU. I THINK THAT'S THE END OF MY SLIDES. IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS. AWESOME THANK YOU CHIEF. AND AGAIN THANK YOU UM TO OUR
PARTNERS FOR BEING HERE. WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO TO COUNCILORS. QUESTIONS? UM. >> IN ORDER OF ARRIVAL. UM AND THEN. WE'LL GO FROM THERE. SO COUNCILOR LOUIJEUNE, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. THANK YOU.
UM, EVERYONE AND THANK YOU TO CHIEF JORDAN FOR THE PRESENTATION AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR BEING HERE. UH, I WANT TO CONTINUE TO EXTEND MY CONDOLENCES TO THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE BOSTON FIRE DEPARTMENT.
UM, ON THE PASSING OF OF BUCK WHO, UM, PASSED AS A HERO TO OUR CITY. SO JUST MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. UM, I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT, UM,
WHAT SPECIFIC PUBLIC SAFETY. I MEAN, I THINK THE ANSWER ALL OF THEM. BUT WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC PUBLIC SAFETY OBLIGATIONS THAT THE CITY IS GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. DURING THE WORLD CUP? DOES IT SO DOES THIS INCLUDE
LIKE I KNOW CITY HALL PLAZA FOR EXAMPLE HAS ITS OWN FOR THE FAN FEST. THEY'VE HIRED THEIR OWN SECURITY. UM BUT WHAT DOES WHAT DOES ENHANCE SECURITY FROM UH, PUBLIC SAFETY LOOK LIKE ON TOP
OF WHAT IS PRIVATELY GOING TO HAPPEN? CHIEF, I COULD JUMP ON THAT. THANK YOU. HELLO, MA'AM. SO WE HAVE THE MULTIPLE FEE. >> FOR EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. UM, ON ANY GIVEN DAY ON HOME
DAY MATCHDAY AND AT HOME GAME DAYS DURING FAN FEST WE HAVE A FAN FEST COMMITMENT WHICH IS, UH, EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF OFFICES DOWN HERE IN CITY HALL PLAZA AND FARRELL HALL IN THE AREA TO
MAKE SURE YOU KNOW EVERYONE IS SAFE AND SECURE AND CAN ENJOY THE EVENT THAT INCLUDES A ROBUST TRANSPORT UM TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN ALL THE WAY AROUND CITY HALL PLAZA DOWN TO THE CALM AND ALL THE CROSSWALKS
AND SO FORTH TO MAKE SURE WE CAN CROSS SAFELY. WE CAN MOVE TRAFFIC UH ACCORDINGLY AS NEEDED. IN ADDITION TO CITY HALL PLAZA WE HAVE THE SOUTH STATION QUEUING PLAN. UM, YOU KNOW, A GAME DAY IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE
DOWN SOUTH STATION FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 TO 6 HOURS. UM. >> QUEUING UP AND TRYING TO HEAD OUT TO FOXBORO. THAT COULD BE UP TO TEN 20,000 PEOPLE IN THAT SHORT TIME PERIOD. SO AGAIN WE HAVE TO PUT SECURITY DOWN THERE TO
SUPPLEMENT THE TEAM WITH THE STATE HAS TO OFFER. IN ADDITION WE HAVE A ROBUST TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN THAT AREA DUE TO THE IMPACTS THAT THAT WILL HAVE ON THE SEAPORT IN THE CITY. SO BASED ON THAT AGAIN WE HAVE
EVERY INTERSECTION COVERED FROM 93 NORTH SOUTH ALL AROUND CONGRESS PURCHASE ATLANTIC ESSEX NAIL AND UM. SOME SUMMER AND DOT DOT ATLANTIC ATLANTIC AND PURCHASE
SO FORTH SO HEAVY COMMITMENT OF OFFICERS FOR THOSE EVENTS. IN ADDITION TO THOSE EVENTS WE HAVE FAN MARCHES THAT ARE STILL COMING UP. YOU KNOW IT WAS TRYING TO GET MORE INFORMATION ON THEM. THERE WAS A CHANGE IN KIND OF BY THE DAY.
I KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE AT LEAST ONE FAN MARCH FOR TEAM HAITI. I CAN TELL YOU THAT AS A HAITIAN AMERICAN I KNOW THERE WILL BE ONE. SO THAT IS ONE OF THE CONFIRMED ONE OF THE FEW CONFIRMED. YEAH, WE'RE. DOING OUR JOB THERE AND SO.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT. I BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO BE AT. UM 2 P.M. WE DO WE SAY 1 P.M. TO 2 P.M.. OKAY. >> THANK YOU. UM. THE DISHES THAT WE HAVE WATCH PARTIES BOTH. AT UM, FAIRFAX ITSELF AND
THROUGHOUT THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF DORCHESTER, EAST BOSTON STADIUM, THE BOSTON COMMON. SO THE RESOURCE FOR SAFETY SECURITY LET ME BACK UP. IN ADDITION WE HAVE HOTEL SECURITY FOR THE TEAM HOTELS WITH VIP HOTELS WE HAVE ESCORTS
FOR TEAM MOVEMENTS. WHO UM WOULD THAT BE CONSIDERED A DETAIL OF THE TEAMS ARE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR? NO THIS WILL ALL BE OUT OF. UM THIS THIS CREW WILL BE PART OF THIS GRANT WOULD COVER ALL THAT IT WOULDN'T IT WOULDN'T BE
FROM CITY RESOURCES UNLESS WE EXHAUSTED THE GRANT. OKAY. >> SO IN ADDITION TO AND THAT AND OTHER OTHER EVENTS KEEP POPPING UP THROUGHOUT THE CITY. SO IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO STAFF THEM, YOU KNOW, EFFICIENTLY. THROUGHOUT ALL AREAS OF THE
CITY WHEN THESE POP UP. >> AT. THE BAR, THE VARIOUS BARS WITH THE DIFFERENT CROWDS, THE FAN MARCHES AND SUPPORT EVENTS WITHOUT PULLING RESOURCES FROM THE CITY TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ADEQUATE RESOURCES IN EACH
COMMUNITY SO THAT WON'T BE IMPACTED AS A RESULT OF THESE EVENTS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO UTILIZE THIS GRANT TO STAFF THAT AS BEST WE CAN. THANK YOU. UH, THE GRANT IS 12.6 MILLION UM TOTAL.
HAVE WE RECEIVED OTHER GRANTS FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR FEE FOR PURPOSES. WE RECEIVED ONE OTHER GRANT THIS WEEK. UM, WE RECEIVED A MOCK GRANT. UM, LIKE. SPEAK FOR IN OUR BEHALF. SO IT'S A ONE POINT APPROXIMATELY $1.2 MILLION
GRANT. UM. THE DEPARTMENT'S WORKING ON GETTING THE PAPERWORK TO THE CITY COUNCIL. PRIOR TO THE TO THE NEXT MEETING SO IT COULD BE INCLUDED. THAT'S BASICALLY AN ADDITIONAL UP TO $1 MILLION IN OVERTIME TO
SUPPLEMENT THIS GRANT IF WE IF WE EXHAUSTED IT ABOUT $240,000 FOR EQUIPMENT FOR, YOU KNOW, BARRIERS FOR VEHICLES AND FOR. CROWD CONTROL SITUATIONS CROWD SAFETY. SO UM.
THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL GRANT THAT WE JUST WERE AWARDED I BELIEVE THIS WEEK OR LATE LAST WEEK. OKAY GREAT. >> SO THAT WOULD BE IT. SO THAT'S A TOTAL OF AND YOU'RE GETTING BASICALLY 10.5 FROM THIS ONE.
SO THAT'S A TOTAL OF 11.7 ISH TO THE BPD SPECIFICALLY FOR WORLD CUP ACTIVITIES. YES MA'AM. >> UM DO YOU THINK THAT'S GOING TO COVER ALL OF THE COSTS? I GUESS WE'LL SEE. I'M AGAIN WE'RE GOING TO STAFF WHATEVER WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
THE EVENTS ARE SAFE. UM AT THIS POINT WE'RE TRENDING TO POTENTIALLY BE UNDER IT, WHICH I'M HOPEFUL. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU'RE UNDER DO YOU GET TO HOLD ON TO THAT MONEY? I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER FOR THAT.
OKAY I DON'T BELIEVE SO. OKAY IT'S BETTER TO ANSWER SO AGAIN BUT AS YOU KNOW INTEL COMES IN WE HAVE TO UP STAFFING BASED ON WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FIRST. >> FEW. FIRST WEEK OR SO WE MAY HAVE TO UP STAFFING OR REDUCE IT IF
THINGS ARE QUIET. SO UM IF WE'RE LUCKY WE'LL BE ABLE TO COME IN UNDER NO PROMISES. YEAH, BUT IF WE EXHAUST THE FIRST ONE WE'LL BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE MONEY WHICH DOES HAVE A MATCH COMPONENT TO IT WHICH IS STILL WORKING.
OUT RIGHT. SO IT WAS UNDER THE LARGER GRANT OF 10 OR $12 MILLION OF THE STATE GAVE OUT PROBABLY. I'M SORRY. >> IT'S A THERE WAS A LARGER THE THE MOCK PROGRAM WHETHER IT'S FOR PUBLIC SAFETY OR FOR OTHER PURPOSES THERE WAS A
MATCHING COMPONENT TO THE ENTIRE TO ALL OF THE MOCK GRANTS THAT WERE GIVEN OUT. SO UM, THAT JUST UH JUST A COMMENT BECAUSE COMMUNITIES AND CITIES THAT WON MOCK GRANTS ARE REQUIRED TO MATCH IT WITH THEIR OWN FUNDS AS WELL.
UM, I MY HOPE IS THAT IT COMES UNDER NOT ONLY BECAUSE FOR EFFICIENCY PURPOSES BUT THAT COULD THAT WOULD MEAN UH, HOPEFULLY SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC SAFETY MANAGEMENT OF THE OF THE ENTIRE PROCESS BUT ALWAYS GOOD
TO BE PREPARED. SO UM THAT'S GREAT I HAVE JUST A FEW MORE QUESTIONS. UM WE HAVE WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THIS AS WELL BUT YOU KNOW, WITH THESE LARGE EVENTS UM, THAT
HAPPEN UH, THERE'S AN INCREASE IN SORT OF YOU KNOW, OFTENTIMES UH, BEHAVIOR THAT WE WOULD NOT LIKE TO SEE SUCH AS HUMAN TRAFFICKING OR INCREASED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE THAT WE SORT
OF WHAT WHAT ARE THE BEEN THE WHAT HAVE BEEN THE PROPER PREPARATIONS TO COMBAT THAT? REGARDING HUMAN TRAFFICKING? SO THE HUMAN. >> TRAFFICKING UNITS ACTIVELY. WORKING WITH THEIR BROTHER.
SISTER AGENCIES TO MONITOR THIS AS IT COMES IN UM. AGAIN VERY INTEL DRIVEN. UM AND. THERE IS MONEY I BELIEVE ALLOCATED FOR FOR THEM FOR DURING THIS TIME PERIOD AS WELL
WHICH SHOULD HELP MITIGATE SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT MAY ARISE. THANK YOU. >> AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS FOR THE RIGHT UM, PANEL. I MEAN ONE OF THE THINGS THEY TALKED ABOUT IS MORE OF A PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN. SO IN BATHROOMS ESPECIALLY
BATHROOMS AND AIRPORTS PUTTING UP MORE NOTICES ABOUT WHAT TO DO. AND SO I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE THAT TO CONTINUE TO HAPPEN SO THAT FOLKS WHO ARE FALL VICTIM, UM, KNOW WHAT RESOURCES EXIST. I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE MAJOR
WAYS THAT WE CAN TAKE THAT ISSUE. UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE RIGHT PANEL FOR THE QUESTION ON DO WE KNOW EXACTLY HOW FAN FEST REGISTRATION IS GOING TO WORK FOR THE CITY HALL FAN FEST? SO IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT.
I BELIEVE IS STILL WORKING ON IT, BUT. THEY'RE GOING TO ALLOW. >> PEOPLE TO REGISTER. THAT DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU HAVE. >> A. TICKET OR A SPOT IN THE EVENT THEY'RE. DOING IT. UM, JUST TO. GAUGE AWARENESS IN AS YOU GET
CLOSER TO THE EVENT I BELIEVE THEY'RE GOING TO PUT ON THEIR SITE IF THEY HAVE IT YET THAT. >> THIS DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU A TICKET. SO YOU DON'T COME DOWN. EXPECTING TO BE GUARANTEED A SPOT. THEY'LL GAUGE IT FOR AWARENESS. >> REASONS AND AS. AT THE EVENT WHETHER.
A CERTAIN. CAPACITY WHICH DETERMINED. >> DETERMINING WHETHER. 50 OR. >> 60% AND THEY LOOK AT THE LINE OUTSIDE THEY'LL START PUNCHING OUT IN THAT PROGRAM TO PEOPLE LETTING THEM KNOW THAT IT'S FILLING UP TO HOPEFULLY UM, DETERMINE FROM COMING DOWN
IF THERE'S NO SPACE MORE SPACE AVAILABLE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. UH, TWO MORE QUESTIONS IS, UM WILL ANY OF THE GRANT FUNDING WILL BE USED SPECIFICALLY ON ANY SORT OF SURVEILLANCE
TECHNOLOGY DRONES, COUNTER DRONES, CAMERAS ETC.. FOR THE THIS IS JUST FOR ALL THE TIME RELATED TO THE EVENT. OKAY SO PERSONNEL PERSONNEL GREAT. UM ALL RIGHT THAT TAKES CARE

SISTERS AT BOSTON POLICE PRIOR TO THIS AND WHERE THERE ARE BLOCK STREETS WE MAY NEED TO STAFF UP STAFFED BY OUR COMPANIES THERE. WE'LL ALSO HAVE A GENERAL UP STAFFING IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA BECAUSE THERE WILL BE DELAYED
RESPONSE AND AS YOU KNOW DELAYED RESPONSE LEADS TO AN INCREASE IN FIRE IN THE WORKLOAD DUE TO THE DELAY OF GETTING THERE. SO AN ADDITIONAL AVERAGE OF ONE
FIREFIGHTER PER UNIT DOWNTOWN THERE WILL BE UP STAFFING AND ALSO UH AS FAR AS COMMAND OPERATIONS UH RESCUE BOSTON POLICE HAVE REQUESTED A PET TEAM AT LEAST ONE PET TEAM
WHICH IS THE PROTEST EXTRICATION TEAM WHICH WE PROVIDE TO OUR SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND. SO WE'LL HAVE AN UP STAFFED PET TEAM ON DUTY UM, AT THE REQUEST OF OF DEPUTY

MORE THE SPECIALIZED SERVICE AND UM I THINK WE'LL BE WELL WITHIN OUR RIGHT AROUND OUR BUDGET TARGET TARGET $1 MILLION. AWESOME. >> THANK YOU. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE, UH, BREAKDOWN AND FLAHERTY. I HAVE TWO MORE QUESTIONS AND
MAYBE I DON'T KNOW IF THIS ONE CAN BE ANSWERED. I KNOW, UM, THE SUPERINTENDENT I THINK YOU MENTIONED WE DON'T KNOW IF WE UNDERSTAND THAT, UM, WE DON'T KNOW IF WE GET TO KEEP THAT
MONEY OVER AT THE RETARDANT. THIS BREAKDOWN THOUGH OF THE GOT THE TEN THE ONE FOR FIRE THE HALF A MILLION FROM OUR UM EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES. WHO IS. I WAS IS AN INTERN.
>> LIKE DID WE DECIDE UH DID YOU ALL DECIDE THIS BREAKDOWN OR IS THIS COMING DIRECTLY FROM THE GRANT THAT $10 MILLION IS GOING TO. POLICE $1 MILLION ONE TO FIRE. AND I GUESS THE FOLLOW UP TO. >> THAT IS.
LET'S SAY FIRE DOES UNDERSTAND IS THAT ABLE TO GO TO POLICE OR VICE VERSA? IT'S UH. YOU KNOW, UH I JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT FLEXIBILITY WE HAVE WITHIN THE GRANT ITSELF. UM, I MEAN WE.
>> DON'T HAVE POSTPARTUM. YEP. CHIEF. SO MAYBE SO MAYBE I CAN SHED SOME LIGHT ON ON THE WHOLE GRANT PROCESS AND HOW THE NUMBERS CAME ABOUT. SO BASICALLY WHEN THE GRANT WAS
ANNOUNCED IN NOVEMBER, UM, THERE WERE A LOT OF UNKNOWNS. THERE ARE STILL A. >> LOT. OF UM THERE'S STILL A LOT OF UNKNOWNS TODAY. SO WHEN WE FIRST THE ASSUMPTION WAS THAT BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT MY ONE OF MY SLIDES SAID THAT
WE HAD PUT IN FOR 40 WERE THE STATE GOT 46 I THINK BOSTON PUT IN FOR 26. WE GOT. 12.5 FOR UH. >> CLOSE TO 13. SO ORIGINALLY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A 39 DAY ACTIVATION. THEN WE. >> CUT DOWN THE DAYS TO 17.
SO THE NUMBERS THAT YOU SEE WERE BASED ON OPERATIONAL NUMBERS. THOSE ARE PROJECTED BASED ON THE STAFFING LEVELS PROJECTED FOR THE AMOUNT OF DAYS THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE OPERATIONAL AND THAT'S HOW WE CAME UP WITH. >> THOSE NUMBERS.
SO IF YOU SEE KEVIN AND COURTNEY HERE FROM BOSTON FIRE SO ALL OF THE WE WE CONSULTED WITH THE. UM THE. FOLKS FROM EVERY ORGANIZATION POLICE, FIRE EMS UH AND OEM
OURSELVES AND WE TALKED THROUGH HEY OPERATIONALLY WHAT WOULD YOU ASSUME IT WOULD COST IF WE IF WE DID THIS FOR 17 DAYS BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF BODIES THAT YOU NEED? THAT'S WHERE THE NUMBERS CAME FROM.
AND THIS IS A SECURITY GRID AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS THE SECURITY FORCE HERE IN THE CITY, YOU KNOW SO THE ASSUMPTION IS IS THAT THAT'S WHY OBVIOUSLY THAT MOST OF THE RESOURCES WENT. TO CHARITIES. >> IT WOULD PROBABLY NOT MAKE
SENSE. I MEAN I THINK YOU KNOW I APPRECIATE THAT FLAHERTY. UM AND THEN I THINK JUST MY FINAL QUESTIONS LAST COMMENT PROBABLY MORE OF A COMMENT I THINK COUNSELOR DIGITAL UH
REFERENCE KIND OF IS LIKE I THINK THE INCREASE IN HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND AND. AND STUFF LIKE THAT AND I SEE HERE ALL YAMS ROW IN YOUR SLIDES I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS
WAY. ONE OF THEM IS UM PUBLIC INFORMATION AND COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS. WELL HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SEE I THINK IN SOME FUTURE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOW WE'RE

SUMMER NOT JUST FOR BUT FOR EVERYTHING. AND YOU ALL DID A FANTASTIC JOB. UH, AND I DID FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE ABOUT, UH, THE STATE OF THE CITY GOING IN WITH SO MANY PUBLIC EVENTS HAPPENING THIS SUMMER. UM, SO I JUST WANT I APPRECIATE
IT SO I HAVE NO QUESTIONS AROUND THE COORDINATION OF THINGS BECAUSE I THINK THAT WAS ANSWERED PREVIOUSLY. UM. NONE OF THIS MONEY AND SORRY. >> IF THIS WAS ALREADY ASKED HERE UH BUT. IF THERE IF THERE WAS THAT I HOPE THERE'S NOT BECAUSE. >> I HOPE IT DOES ALL GO TO
SAFETY. BUT IF THERE WERE. >> ANY. MONEY LEFT OVER IT. >> COULDN'T BE USED. FOR THAT SAY A WATCH PARTY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. RIGHT. THIS IS ALL IT HAS TO GO TO SAFETY COULD GO. >> TO. SAFETY AROUND WATCH PARTIES. >> WOULD THAT BE FAIR? IS THAT. LIKE IF IT WENT. >> TO POLICE.
FOR SOMETHING TO ATTEND OR UH SECURITY MEASURES OF THAT SUCH . I DIDN'T YOU KNOW I DIDN'T I DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO ALL THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS WHEN THEY COME OUT PUT THEM OUT BUT TRADITIONALLY THOSE GRANTS DON'T ALLOW FOR THAT. YEAH.
I MEAN THE SCOPE OF WORK IS THE SCOPE OF WORK AND EVEN WHEN THE REPORTING PROCESS, YOU. KNOW. >> WILL FOUND ITS WAY OUT, UM, YOU'LL HAVE TO SUBMIT ALL OF THE DOCUMENTATION TO BACK UP ALL OF THE EXPENSES IF THEY WERE ARE TRADITIONALLY WITH
MOST GRANTS IF THERE'S ANY MONEY THAT IS UNSPENT IT DOES JUST NOT GET REIMBURSED. YEAH. SO ALTHOUGH WE MIGHT BE ELIGIBLE YOU KNOW FOR THE YOU KNOW MILLIONS THAT WE RECEIVED WE WILL ONLY RECOVER WHAT WE
SUBMIT THE INVOICES FOR TO PAY FOR THE OVERTIME AND THE PERSONNEL COSTS. UNDERSTOOD. >> AND UM. AND I FIGURED THAT WAS THE ANSWER. I JUST HAD SOME PEOPLE IN THE. COMMUNITY ASKING ME THEY WANTED ME TO PUT IT ON. >> THE. RECORD SO I SAID I WOULD UM UH.
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT SECURITY. FOR SOME WATCH PARTIES COULD BE A REIMBURSABLE ITEM. CORRECT? >> IT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD FIT THE SCOPE BUT AGAIN WOULD HAVE TO CHECK AND GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT ONE. YEP. >> NO THAT'S GREAT. WELL UM.

THANK YOU, COUNCILOR FITZGERALD . I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO COUNCIL FOR EACH ITEM. YEAH. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR.
I THERE'S ONE QUESTION THAT I FORGOT. UH, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT MARTIN. I THINK AT A LAST HEARING WE HAD TALKED WE KNOW THAT THIS MONEY IS ALL FOR PERSONNEL. UM, AND IS THAT TRUE FOR THE 1.2 THAT'S COMING FROM THE
GRANT AS WELL? DO WE KNOW IF THAT'S ALL FOR PERSONNEL? SO APPROXIMATELY 1 MILLION I BELIEVE IS FOR PERSONNEL AND ABOUT. 200 OH RIGHT. YOU SAID THAT IS REALLY. 40,000 FOR THAT SPECIFIC. EQUIPMENT OKAY, GREAT. GREAT.
UM WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PERSONNEL IS THERE DO YOU ENVISION THERE BEING PERSONNEL OUTSIDE OF BPD UH OUTSIDE OF BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT BROUGHT IN IN TERMS OF POLICE OFFICERS, I BELIEVE THIS WAS A QUESTION OR SOME THAT WAS MENTIONED AT THE LAST
HEARING. JUST WANTED TO GET CLARIFICATION ON WHETHER THAT'S THE CASE AT ALL. SO FOR CERTAIN EVENTS I DID REQUEST MUTUAL AID FROM OUR. UH, YOU KNOW, NEIGHBORING DEPARTMENTS TO. >> COME SUPPORT US ON THE HEAVIER LIFTS ON CERTAIN.
UM, YOU KNOW. HOME HOME GAMES DURING FAN FEST OR WHATNOT. BUT THAT HAS NOTHING I GUESS TO DO WITH THE AWARD. >> THAT'LL OKAY. JUST MUTUAL AID. WHAT DEPARTMENTS ARE THOSE? UM. >> WE REQUESTED THEM LIKE TO
COME SUPPORT US QUINCY PD ON THEM LIKE IT'S, UH, NORTHEAST. >> OKAY FOR TRACK COUNCIL AND AND UH, QUINCY PD YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE LOCAL UNIVERSITIES WITH SOME MOUNTAIN BIKE ASSETS AT THIS POINT. GREAT.
>> WELL THANK YOU I'LL JUST REPEAT THAT. I'M I'M GLAD THAT YOU RECEIVED THIS GRANT. I HOPE THAT AS YOU STATED HOPEFULLY THE PROJECTIONS IT COMES UNDER BUT, UM, GLAD THAT YOU ARE RESOURCED TO DO THE WORK OF PUBLIC SAFETY DURING THESE EXCITING TIMES FOR OUR
