A
C
B
A
D
So
this
is
a
continuation
of
the
opera
presentation
to
gain
input
from
the
city
council.
As
I've
told
you,
the
oppa
committee
has
been
gathering
input
from
lots
of
different
sources
over
the
course
of
the
last
nine
months
now,
including
from
the
general
public
at
a
large
public
meeting
a
couple
of
weeks
ago.
We
started
this
going
through
this
presentation.
I
think
we
got
through
the
first.
There
are
six
categories
under
which
there
are
numerous
potential
strategies
to
be
funded
and
we're
now
we've
started
going
through
those
categories.
D
I
think
we
got
through
two
the
last
time
we're
now
on
the
third,
which
is
affordable
housing.
There
are
a
total
of
six,
which
mo
will
walk
you
through
we'll
we'll
return
to
affordable
housing,
because
we
didn't
complete
that
there's
just
one
thing.
I
want
to
emphasize
that
I'm
not
sure
was
clear
at
the
last
meeting
in
each
of
these
categories.
You'll
see
9
or
10
strategies,
potential
priorities
and
at
the
top
are
tentatively
the
ones
that
the
committee
has
have
risen
to
the
top
in
their
discussions.
This
is
not
finalized
at
all.
D
That
is
going
to
be
the
hard
choices
that
will
have
to
be
made
by
the
committee
as
to
identify
in
each
of
these
categories,
which
of
the
two
or
three
strategies
emerge
as
the
ones
that
will
receive
some
recommended
funding.
So
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
over
to
mo
he'll
return
to
the
third
category.
We
were
working
on
or
working
through,
which
is
the
housing
category.
D
E
D
So
how
much
money
stays
into
which
category
so
the
expectation
is
that
there
will
be
actually
two
more
meetings
of
the
committee
at
tomorrow
night's
meeting.
The
goal
is
to
have
the
committee
finalize
its
two
or
three
at
most
priorities
within
each
of
the
six
categories
and
then
allocate
the
15
million
among
those
six
buckets
through
a
difficult
voting
process.
D
D
Is
only
a
recommendation,
but
I
have
committed
to
try
my
best
to
follow
the
recommendations
of
this
committee,
and
so
the
goal
at
tomorrow.
Night's
meeting
is
that
the
committee
will
get
through
that
process
both
finalizing
its
priorities,
its
two
or
three
priorities
in
each
category
and
then
allocating
the
15
million
in
funding
among
those
six
categories.
D
We
think
that
will
take
the
majority
of
that
meeting
tomorrow
night
at
the
final
meeting,
the
committee
will
then
allocate
within
each
category
the
money
available
among
the
two
or
three
priorities
within
that
category.
That'll
be
another
difficult
group
of
this
of
determinations
that
the
committee
will
have
to
make
that
will
be
done
at
the
last
meeting
and
by
the
conclusion
of
that
meeting
we
will
have
allocations
of
money
for
the
top
priorities
in
each
category.
D
D
A
G
D
I
still
want
to
spend
the
majority
of
that
25
million
on
capital
projects,
but
if
there
were
something
that
were
of
real
significant
concern
of
the
council,
for
which
this
money
ought
to
be
spent
this
opportunity
within
sort
of
ma,
this
25
million
to
do
something
that
doesn't
get
approved
by
this
committee
doesn't
get
forwarded.
But
the
council
feels
they've
missed
some.
You
know
this
is
a
huge
need
that
we
feel
got
missed.
D
There'll
be
opportunity
to
deal
with
something
like
that.
So
I
don't
want
you
to
feel
like
you,
you
know,
you've
lost
your
last
hope
of
something
that's
critically
important
to
the
council.
My
expectation
is
that
most
of
the
decisions
that
were
made
by
this
committee
will
be
consistent
with
priorities
of
this
council
and
the
general
public,
but
there
is
some
opportunity
there.
I
haven't
spent
all
the
25
million
yet.
G
And
just
again
to
remind
folks
that
this
is
a
unique
opportunity
that
the
city
of
chelsea
has
provided
to
residents,
something
that
is
being
held
up
as
an
example
not
only
in
massachusetts
but
across
the
country
for
how
residents
should
be
involved.
If
anyone
caught
the
article
this
weekend
in
the
new
york
times,
it
was
a
lot
of
communities
where
they're
really
questioning
how
much
resident
input
is
being
really
brought
to
bear,
and
is
there
just
one
person
in
the
back
making
a
decision
are
they
political
power
plays
and
so
forth?
G
And
so
what
chelsea
is
doing
here
is
phenomenal
and
and
really
laudable.
And
I
just
want
to
extend
that
to
you
all
as
well,
because
you
could
fight
against
it
and
that
would
really
you
know,
go
with
what
a
lot
of
other
places
are
doing
so
really
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
supporting
the
city
manager's
decision
in
making
these
15
million
dollars
available
for
the
for
the
committee
and
for
the
participation
of
the
city
council
members
on
that
committee
and
in
creating
space
to
hear
all
of
the
things
that
folks
have
said.
G
That
being
said,
just
want
to
remind
folks
that
we'll
take
your
questions
as
best
as
we
can,
but
remember
if
there
are
suggestions
that
you
have
for
how
things
should
be
done,
just
give
it
to
us
as
a
suggestion
like.
Maybe
you
could
do
this
or
please
think
about
these
things,
we'll
take
those
into
account
not
only
in
the
decision
making,
but,
more
importantly,
if
that
particular
strategy
gets
moves
forward,
that
becomes
a
suggestion
to
the
city
manager
and
the
planning
department
about
how
to
run
the
process.
G
G
A
The
reason
why
I
say
that
I
just
want
to
say
last
time
we
just
went
through
a
lot
of
time
and
we
all
have
this
document
and
we've
had
it
and
we've
actually
many
of
us,
if
not
all,
of
us
attended
the
community
meetings
and
we
have
representation
on
the
community.
So,
as
you
stated,
if
we
have
any
concerns
or
suggestions,
even
through
your
comments
tonight
or
writing
to
make
sure,
because
I
believe
as
I'm
listening,
this
is
our
last
opportunity
to
get
it
in
correct.
G
Absolutely
so
increased
equitable
housing
opportunities
based
on
resident
needs,
including
affordable
housing,
public
private
partnerships
and
workforce
middle
income
with
the
ami
of
80
to
120
housing
number
two
is
increase
new
construction
of
affordable
housing,
mixed
income,
housing,
new
sustainable
models.
Number
three
is
make
investments
that
leverage
multiple
additional
resources
to
exempt
to
expand
capacity
for
housing
stability
services,
including
support
for
resident
rental
arrearage.
J
K
K
H
G
K
As
someone
that
during
the
pains
I
mean
alongside
some
of
my
fellows
heard,
the
hardships
and
lived
the
realities
of
our
community
shelter
is
extremely
important
and
housing
stability
is
a
need,
and
we
have
issues
of
you
know
people
that
are
living
overcrowded
families,
sharing
two
to
three
bedroom
apartment
like
multiple
families,
sharing
common
areas,
so
that
you
know
they
can
make
ends
meet
and
if
and
that's
also
illegal.
So
if
we're
going
to
go
after
that
and
we're
not
creating
a
solution,
an
immediate
solution,
then
what
are
we
we're
still
displacing
people?
K
So
for
me,
I,
like
that's
a
quick
suit.
You
know
like
in
my
head,
I'm
like
okay.
If
there's
I
want
to
know
if,
if
the
first
two
you
know,
are
we
creating
homeownership
opportunities
and
then,
if
there's
a
way
that
we
can
combine
the
two
one
and
two
so
that
it
could
be
one
two
like
four
becomes
three.
A
H
H
H
G
G
K
A
L
One
of
the
goals
of
the
committee,
as
well
as
the
administration,
is
to
use
arpa
funding
as
a
down
payment
or
an
investment
that'll
pay
dividends
down
the
road.
So
thinking
through
you
know,
how
can
we
use
this
small
amount
of
money
to
bring
in
even
larger
amounts
of
housing
funding,
whether
it's
to
produce
home
ownership
opportunities,
build
a
shelter,
provide
rental
assistance,
the
whole
the
whole
nine
yards?
J
J
Housing
opportunity
for
our
families
locally
so
that
they're
not
displaced
into
shelters
outside
of
chelsea,
and
then
my
I
have
a
few
questions
for
number:
six:
increased
redevelopment
and
rehabilitation
of
available
housing
stock
to
create
healthy,
comfortable
homes.
Are
we
talking
something
similar
to
the
project
that
is
happening
currently
at
central
ave
with
the
housing
authority.
D
This
is
more
like
some
of
the
rehabilitation
programs
that
we
have
where
we
provide
funding.
This
is
one
potential
program
that
could
be
run
if
this
were
a
strategy
that
were
chosen,
which
is
more
money
for
the
rehabilitation
programs
that
we
have
for
residents
who
come
in
looking
to
upgrade
rental
units
that
they
have
so
that
they
can
deal
with
sanitary
code
violations
and
things
of
that
nature.
That's
one
potential
program
that
could
be
done
under
this
strategy,
but
alex
could
also
add.
Okay,.
J
Okay,
okay
and
then
some
somewhat
similar
to
that
question,
then
for
number:
two
increase:
new
construction
of
affordable
housing,
mixed
income.
So
it's
my
understanding
that
we're
really
low
in
like
open
spaces
to
build.
So
we
would
have
to
be
using
correct
me
from
wrong
buildings
that
are
maybe
condemned
or
or
buildings
that
are
you
know
available
to
to
reconstruct
right.
Is
that
what
this
is
explaining
to
use
available
current
housing
stock
to
redevelop
and
and
make
mixed
income
correct?.
L
So
the
goals
of
the
committee
with
this
strategy
was,
to
you
know,
foster
the
redevelopment
of
existing
property
into
affordable
housing,
as
well
as
mixed
income
housing.
The
resident
survey
that
we
released
you
know
sought
to
prioritize
affordable
rental
units.
That
was
the
response
we
heard
by
and
large,
whether
it's
home
ownership
or
rental.
Ultimately,
given
the
lack
of
vacant
space
in
chelsea,
it'll
have
to
be
redevelopment
either
increasing
density
or
or
height
with
some
opportunities
too,
to
rehabilitate
and
adaptively
reuse,
historic
buildings.
I
think
that's
another
important
part.
L
J
L
That's
a
good
question,
so
any
redevelopment
or
rehabilitation
that
is
going
to
be
city
financed
and
city-led
similar
to
the
innis
project.
You
know
we
will
be
requiring
that
tenants
are
temporarily
relocated
to
equivalent
or
better
housing
and
they're
offered
a
right
of
first
refusal
to
move
back
to
the
new
units.
L
J
L
To
the
maximum
extent
practicable,
so
local
preference
for
families
with
children,
local
preference
for
veterans
seniors
council
can
also
choose
to
recommend
other
preferences
that
we
could
convey
to
the
committee.
You
know,
for
instance,
we
have
a
preference
in
many
of
our
housing
programs
for
families
with
children
under
six.
So
those
are
just
some
of
the
options.
J
And
then
also
for
the
temporary
and
emergency
housing
number
four
on:
can
it
can
it
be
so
that
the
program
that
is
created
under
that
priority
also
includes
mental
health
services,
workforce
development
services
so
that
it's
not
just
a
temporary
home
and
that
individual
is
on
their
own?
To
look
for?
Is
there
ways
to
incorp
incorporate
funding
that
encompasses
the
entire
wraparound
services
that
that
family
needs.
L
E
E
You
know
we
want
to
be
able
to
have
people
not
just
paying
their
rent
or
being
but
being
able
to
actually
own
their
home
and
trying
to
trying
to
kind
of
put
down
some
roots
in
a
good
community
where
you
know,
let's
face
it,
there's
not
too
many
communities
like
chelsea
and
and
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
some
of
the
people
that
make
this
place
special
can
actually
put
down
roots
here.
So
so
I
think
that
you
know,
and
it
solves
a
lot
of
problems.
E
E
So
ownership
that
goes
to
that
level,
so
I
think
one
of
the
reasons
why
you
get
that
result
is
because
people
automatically
think
that,
oh,
that's
not
me,
you
know,
and
so
you
know
part
of,
I
think
I
think
an
important
component
of
public
policy
is
to
try
to
lift
people
up
and-
and
you
know,
have
people
be-
you
know,
living
a
better
existence
than
they
were
when
they
got
here.
So
you
know
I
I
perfect,
be
that,
as
you
know,
take
it
for
what
it's
worth.
I
guess
so
that
that
was
my.
A
You
thank
you
counselor.
We
also
have
those
thoughts
in
here
and
I
guess
what
we're
looking
at
is
prioritizing.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
that
conversation
that
discussion
in
here.
It
was
not
just
left
out,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
there's
a
prioritized
list
up
here
that
we're
trying
to
get
actually
some
kind
of
feedback,
solid
feedback
and
not
really
get
into
discussion
where
we
are,
unless
we're
going
to
be
here
all
night,
but
also
suggest
that
we
move.
A
You
know
what
you're
talking
about
home
ownership
up
to
number
one
and
move
number
one
down
to
number
six,
so
we're
just
really
trying
to
get
through
here
and
see
what
it's
there
and,
as
the
city
manager
stated,
if
some
of
these
projects
that
we
really
dear
about,
maybe
the
city
council
can
invest
in
more
after
we
see
what
has
went
forward
and
we
also
have
two.
We
have
council
members
on
the
committee
to
address
these.
Also
at
tomorrow's
meeting.
I
think
council
de
jesus
has
another
comment.
G
A
H
A
A
G
Security
all
right
so
food
security
number
one
increased
food,
pantry
support
and
develop
a
winter
food
distribution,
location
mechanism
number
two
engage
local
and
small
businesses
in
food
assistance
and
food
distribution
programs.
Number
three
establish
community
kitchens
and
teaching
kitchens
number
four
food
assistance.
Programming
example:
chelsea
eats
number
five
provide
education
and
healthy
eating
and
how
to
shop
in
american
grocery
stores.
A
F
You,
mr
chairman,
I
would
say-
and
here
is
echoing
a
keen
balance
between
our
small
businesses
here
in
chelsea-
are
small
bodegas
and
supermarkets,
but
also
the
needs
of
our
families.
I
think
number
four
is
crucial,
especially
if
we're
developing
a
program
very
similar
to
what
we
already
launched,
which
was
chelsea,
eats
it's
one,
giving
dignity
to
our
families
to
have
the
autonomy
to
choose
their
foods
and
what
they
want
to
eat.
F
But
more
than
that,
I
think
the
other
aspect
where
we
have
an
opportunity
to
have
double
impact
is
allowing
folks
to
use
these
visa
cards
these
the
cards
that
we
create
to
shop
at
local
supermarkets.
I
think
of
places
like
compare,
I
think,
of
places
like
your
small
bodegas
that
are
located
in
broadway.
It's
it's
crucial
to
continue
to
support
our
small
businesses,
and
I
understand
the
importance
of
having
food
pantries.
F
H
A
E
I
agree
in
principle
with
what
counselor
garcia
just
said.
I
think
the
biggest
concern
on
this
whole
section
is
that
I've
heard
multiple
complaints
from
you
know.
Business
owners
store
owners
who
are
are
missing
out
on
or
they've
lost
business
because
right
next
door,
they're
giving
away
free
food
to
x,
y
and
z,
and
then
they
you
know
that
now
they're
suffering
as
well.
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we
did
in
the
first
instead
of
the
chelsea
eats,
which
we
don't
really
have
the
we
don't
really
have
the
money
to
to
to
finance.
E
E
I
think
it's
it's
much
better
to
if
you
want
to
do
this
on
a
low
on
a
smaller
city
level
that
we
kind
of
do
what
we
did
in
the
first
days
of
the
pandemic,
which
was
directing
people
that
need
this
to
certain
restaurants
or
stores
or
whatever,
where
they
could
so
so
that
we
get
a
kind
of
double
bang
for
our
buck.
We
provide
something
for
somebody
who
needs
something,
and
then
we
also
provide
the
business
to
the
local
business
person.
E
H
A
J
J
J
I
think
that
that
was
a
huge
part
of
you
know
during
the
pandemic,
what
we
were
exercising
in
chelsea
was
the
opportunity
to
bring
to
those
who
were
either
coveted,
positive
or
simply
elderly
or
with
some
type
of
handicap,
necessity.
Accessibility,
issue,
mobility
issue,
bring
the
food
to
their
doorsteps,
and
so
that's
extremely
huge,
and
on
top
of
that,
people
were
still
in
need
of
the
chelsea
eats
cards,
and
so
I
think,
a
combination
of
those
two
are
extremely
important
for
the
community
and
then
making
sure
that
we
have.
A
Yeah-
and
I
know
we
don't
have
a
vote
tonight,
but
I
get
a
sense
that
if
we
were
voting
tonight,
we
would
keep
one
and
we
will
put
four
as
the
second.
So,
if
you
can
put,
that
is
that
okay,
I
mean
we
believed
you
know.
Food
pantry,
increasing
the
food
pantry
support
is
just
really
key
to
our
community,
also
having
in
the
hands
the
reason
why
I
say
that,
with
the
engaged
local
business
and
small
businesses
into
food
distribution
programs,
we've
tried
that
I
mean
we've
tried
a
lot
of
those
things.
A
We've
paid
a
lot
of
money
and
we're
still
willing
to
try,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
their
customers
say
that
we
want
these
type
of
products.
We
want
this
type
of
food
in
our
country.
This
is
how
we
eat.
We
don't
use
this
healthy
oil.
We
don't
use
this
until
we
can
get
there
and
maybe
a
year
down
the
road
two
years.
We
have
to
take
care
of
the
families
right
now
and
make
sure
we
can
survive
this
post
pandemic
and
then
offer
these
programs
so
for
whatever
it
is.
A
We
we
are
really
believed
that
folks
still
should
have
that
opportunity
for
that
assistant
program
with
the
and
increase
their
food,
giving
out
to
those
that's
in
the
thank
you
and
again.
We
have
members
that
can
address
that
tomorrow,
all
right
where
we
won't
be
voting
tonight,
because
we
can't
all.
G
Right
with
that
in
mind,
I'll
move
us
forward
to
mental
and
behavioral
health.
There
are
10
options
here,
I'll
briefly,
go
over
them
number
one:
support
for
youth
development
programs,
including
extracurricular
activities
at
no
or
low
cost
for
students,
opportunities
for
sports
recreation
outside
of
school
time;
a
community
center
youth
center;
one
stop
multi-service
center
and
music.
G
Lessons
number
two
increase
mental
health
services,
including
those
for
zero
to
eight-year-olds,
so
in
general,
for
everybody,
including
zero
to
eight-year-olds
number
three
support,
rabbit
crisis,
intervention
teams
and
increase
social
workers,
services
in
the
city
or
within
the
city
number
four
expand
services
for
those
experiencing
domestic
violence;
number
five
launch
a
campaign
to
address
mental
health
stigma
and
normalize
getting
help
in
seeking
out
resources,
including
rapid
referral
card.
That's
a
card
that
has
the
rapid
referral.
G
On
the
card
number
six
provide
trauma
and
mental
health
supports
for
immigrants
and
the
undocumented
number
seven
mental
health
and
well-being,
training
for
parents
and
community
number
eight
increase
number
of
locations
available
to
residents
to
access
mental
health
resources,
multi-service
center
number,
nine,
implement
preventive
mental
health
measures
and
early
supports,
including
peer-to-peer
mental
health
and
number
ten
support.
Peer-To-Peer
support
for
addiction
and
substance
abuse.
A
E
E
E
Might
be
a
category
where
you
might
take
more
than
two
or
three,
or
at
least
there
are
some
some
of
these,
like
the
launching
a
campaign
to
address
mental
health
stigma
and
normalize.
Getting
help
I
mean
that's,
not
gonna
cost
very
much
money.
You
could
do
that
for
and
I
think
that
that's
something
that
that's
that's
that's
helpful.
That
could
also
be
done.
E
So
I
think-
and
I
think
combining
some
of
these
things
is
a
smarter
way
to
go,
but
I
basically
think
that
the
top
three,
and
maybe
four,
although
we
have
some
organizations
that
help
with
domestic
violence,
it
is
a
big
problem
and
we
do
need
to
address
it
more
effectively.
But
you
know
I
think
this
is
basically
right,
but
I
do
think
that
this
particular
category
should
should
definitely
receive
its
fair
share
of
funding.
J
Just
real
briefly,
I
would
add
that,
especially
for
our
youth
in
the
community,
we
need,
because
we
know
we're
dealing
with
all
these
housing
needs,
overcrowded
apartments
and
parents
working
we're.
Looking
for
multiple
jobs,
we
need
to
have
places
with
these
services
available
and
open
in
the
evenings
and
the
afternoons.
A
And
I'm
fine
with
them
myself,
because
this
year
also
demonstrate
how
important
it
was
during
the
pandemic,
which
was
not
offered
and
coming
out
of
the
pandemic.
We
actually
going
to
see
some
of
these
things
occur.
Some
of
these
services
are
going
to
be
needed
so
rapidly
when
people
start
to
act
out
or
just
start
to
get
out
and
get
an
aggressive
and
being
so
isolated
for
so
long
and
stuff.
A
We're
going
to
have
to
have
some
monitor
we're
going
to
have
to
have
some
support
system
where
we
can
actually
identify
whether
they
be
eight
months
to
you,
know,
36
years
old
or
older.
We're
definitely
going
to
have
to
be
able
to
try
to
have
resource
available.
So
I'm
in
favor
of
this
here
and,
however,
it
gets
put
together.
It's
a
needed
process
and
a
needed
service
coming
out
of
the
post
pandemic
council
maldonado
vape.
K
I
echo
what
a
lot
of
my
peers
say,
especially
with
the
fact
that
these
services
are
underfunded,
and
if
we
have,
we
have
a
tremendous
opportunity
here
that
we
can
prioritize
this.
Let's
take
the
opportunity-
and
I
think
we
should
do
some
magic
here
and
I
agree
with
todd
when
he
says
some
of
these
things.
If
we
can
combine
it,
let's
do
it.
I
you
know
like
for
me.
K
I
agree
that
prioritizing
youth
is
essential,
but
that
when
I
read
like
nine
and
ten
preventing
you
know
like
implement
preventive
mental
health
measures
and
early
support
like
that
shouldn't
be
nine.
You
know
like
that,
for
me
is
also
one
that's
up
here.
This
all
of
these
are
kind
of
like
one
and
twos.
For
me,
you.
K
H
K
Support
our
community
better
when
it
comes
to
mental
health
and
addiction
and
substance
abuse,
and
this
is
very,
very
important
in
something
that
we
need
extensively,
and
this
is
like
a
root
issue
in
so
many
other
things
as
well,
that
it
shouldn't
be
overlooked,
like
you
know,
with
domestic
abuse
alcoholism.
All
these
things
are
young
people
like
witnessing
this,
and
now
I
mean.
Can
we
imagine
what
colvin
like
is
happening
like
two
years
after
covet
like
what?
What
is
that
gonna
look
like?
So
I
think
if
we
have
an
opportunity-
let's,
let's
do
it.
A
Now
were
you,
I
just
had
a
thought:
were
you?
Would
you
like
to
speak?
Okay,
so
my
thought
is
that
you
know
with
the
mental
and
behavioral
health
points
here.
Did
we
have
any
local
hospitals
or
anyone
that
joined
these
meetings
that
was
willing
to
partner
with
us
to
provide
the
service,
because,
obviously
we
as
a
city
we're
not
doctors
or
clinicians,
but
we're
looking
for
partnership
here?
Did
we
have
any
of
that
discussion?
A
G
G
I
can
tell
you
that
there's
a
lot
of
energy
behind
that
and
and
desire-
I
don't
think,
there's
anything
that's
set
and
we
also
weren't
asking
that
question.
We
were
asking
what
was
important.
What
should
we
be
paying
attention
to
what
should
be
funded,
but
I
think
your
advice,
I
think,
and
to
the
folks
who
are
going
to
be
actually
implementing
this
is
to
seek
out
the
collaboration
of
the
hospitals
and
the
mental
health
providers.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
we
take
that.
A
Yeah,
because
I
you
know
one
of
the
things
I
was
talking
about,
we
have
navigators
here.
We
have
north
suffolk,
mental
health
and
I'm
you
know
we
we're
getting
emotionally
here
we're
getting
caught
up
in
these
great
ideas,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
when
we
fund
them
where's
the
collaboration
who's,
the
expert,
is
it
going
to
be
the
city
council?
It's
going
to
be
the
committee.
Are
we
just
going
to
throw
it
in?
I'm
just
not
sure?
L
There
has
been
the
superintendent
was
gracious
enough
to
attend
one
of
the
recent
committee
meetings.
She
provided
a
presentation
on
the
school
department's
arpa
plan,
including
their
plan
for
increasing
resources
for
social
workers,
clinicians
and
mental
and
behavioral
health.
This
is
one
of
the
major
issues
of
her
administration,
so
we
see
a
lot
of
synergy
there
and
opportunities
to
collaborate.
L
Right,
so
I
would
envision
that
the
entities
and
the
organizations
with
whom
we
partner
with
will
have
to
undertake
hiring
activity
in
order
to
boost
their
capacity
to
deliver
these
services.
We're
also
thinking
through
right
now,
sort
of
what
role
does
the
city
play
in
terms
of
strategic
planning,
facilitation
and
coordinating
services?
A
Just
lastly,
that
the
reason
why
I
address
those
is
because
we're
talking
about
funding
them,
but
we
still
need
to
do
all
that
what
you
just
said
prior
to
funding
and
now
we're
gonna.
You
know
prioritize
them,
but
we
really
don't
have
the
game
plan
of
the
funding
or
the
staffing.
So
that's
just
my
thought,
but.
E
One
thing
there
was
discussion
on
the
committee
about
using
the
chelsea
hub
as
kind
of
a
a
model
to
you
know
instead
of
focusing
on
on
addiction,
or
you
know,
other
types
of
issues
to
to
kind
of
pull
in
mental
health
and
have
more
interventions
and
trying
to
be
proactive
with
with
with
things
much
like
the
hub
and
pulling
together
in
collaboration
a
lot
of
these
same
people.
So
I'm
assuming
that
it
would
be
just
like
that.
So
right.
J
E
A
Appreciate
your
comments,
counselor,
I
only
would
consideration
to
that's
there,
but
it's
at
the
lower
end
of
the
prioritized
list.
Where
you
see
one
and
two
it
does
not
in
especially
one
you
know
it
does
not
include
the
chelsea
hub
or
you
know,
will
you
talk
start
talking
about
number
seven
and
number
two
and
you
know
number
three.
Those
are
very
important
items:
okay,.
J
What
my
colleague,
counselor
melinda
vega,
mentioned
substance
abuse.
I
don't
know
where
that
falls
here.
I
don't
see
it
on
mental
health,
but
I
think
both
go
hand
in
hand
and
then
two
with
regards
to
coalitions
and
groups
that
are
established
to
convene
the
different
partners
that
work
on
these
issues.
I
want
to
be
extremely
cautious
of
the
funding
that
is
used
for
that
time
and
making
sure
that
the
bulk
of
the
funding
is
used
for
the
work
on
the
ground,
the
navigators
that
are
out
there
day
and
night.
H
J
C
Without
at
times
I
experienced
situations
that
the
situation
doesn't
get
resolved,
just
because
they're
tossing
the
ball
back
and
forth,
but
we
just
want
to
be
clear
with
with
whoever's
dealing
with
the
situation.
Another
thing
is
most
I'm
seeing
the
survey
numbers
and
most
of
the
the
participants
and
the
respondents
are
latinos.
C
L
None
of
this
is
going
to
be
possible
by
simply
creating
a
flyer
to
market
services
and
kind
of
ending
there
we're
going
to
have
to
have
boots
on
the
ground
and
that
will
necessitate
building
capacity
I'll.
You
know
be
blunt
with
you.
We
don't
have
the
capacity
right
now
to
do
that
at
the
scale
that
we
have
to
do
it
at
whether
it's
the
outreach,
navigators
social
workers.
What
what?
What
have
you,
either
internally
or
or
externally?
A
J
This
point
is
on
top
of
what
counselor
garcia
was
just
mentioning
to
ensure
that,
with
the
mental
health
services,
we
are
being
mindful
of
having
available
both
male
and
female
workers,
so
that
when
we
encounter
mental
health
substance
abuse
domestic
violence.
Whatever
the
case
is,
we
can
be
sensitive
to
these
cases,
as
as
it
comes
up.
A
Academy,
I
just
think
there's
some
interest
in
just
shifting
some
of
these
prior
prioritized
numbers
around
I
mean
we
have
members
representing
us
on
the
council
and
we
hope
that
they
would
address
that.
You
know
all
of
us,
I
believe,
are
really
you
know,
advert
adequate
supporters
of
youth,
employment,
youth
development,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
people
minds
in
their
state
of
mind
and
their
mentalities
together
and
and
a
lot
of
these
things
below
that
helps
address
that
and
you
know
so
we
want
to
make
sure
move
again.
A
This
is
money
for
post
coving,
these
actions,
these
impact
is,
you
know
again,
I
can't
say
it
enough
being,
and
you
know
locked
in
your
excuse
me,
your
apartment
or
your
home,
or
out
of
work
for
19
months
and
trying
to
get
back
on
your
feet.
It
did
something
to
your
mind.
You
know
I
mean
people
still
are
saying
you
know
what
masters
are
all
set,
but
we
still
want
to
wear
them
because
for
17
months,
18
months
we've
been
wearing
it.
K
K
K
Then
I
I
I
think
two
and
below
are
more
and
I
and
I
think
that's
a
that's
a
big
oopsie
that
we
didn't.
We
don't
have
a
category
for
our
young
people
by
themselves,
but
that's
I'm
not
okay
with
that.
I
just
realized
that
I'm
sorry
and
I
don't
so
I
if
we
can't,
I
don't
even
know
how
we
can
figure
that
out,
but.
H
K
G
They're
part
of
focus
groups,
we
went
to
youth
groups,
there
were
young
people
at
the
public
meeting
young
people
who
answered
the
survey,
so
we've
got
some
voices
in
there
and
I
want
to
say
that
your
suggestion
there
is
really
powerful
and
that
it
is
something
that
you
know.
Maybe
thinking
about
it.
Maybe
you
would
have
done
something
different
to
have
a
separate
category,
but
they've
been
integrated
into
this,
including
in
workforce
development
and
in
housing
and
in
these
spaces
as
well.
K
L
So
we
did
invite
the
youth
commission
to
the
the
public
meetings,
as
well
as
the
focus
groups
outside
of
that
we
met
with
a
focus
group
at
chelsea
high
school.
That's
comprised
of
about
40
to
50
young
adults
that
participated
in
their
own
separate
focus
group.
There
were
focus
groups
held
with
the
chelsea
housing
authority,
tenants
council
that
included
youth
as
well.
As
you
know,
gamut
of
different
community-based
organization
meetings.
So
we
were
pleased
generally
with
the
youth
engagement
on
this.
It
was
some
of
the
highest
we've
seen
in
projects.

We
may
all
right
we're
on
to
the
last
of
the
last
environmental
health.
Has

read
through
them
quickly:
number
one
increase
the
amount
of
open
space
parks
and
active
outdoor
spaces
number
two
support:
pest
control
and
mold
mitigation
within
housing;
stock
number
three
develop
programming
for
homeowners
and
small
landlords
who
may
need
to
renovate
to
bring
house
up
to
code
housing
up
to
code
number
four
support
renovation
of
homes
to
improve
windows,
ventilation
and
decreased
noise
pollution.
G
Number
five
support
indoor
and
outdoor
efforts
to
mitigate
industrial
and
vehicular
exhaust
number;
six,

spaces
and

to
the
general
public
number.
Seven
plant
more
trees,
number
eight

about
environmental
health
and
taking
care
of
environment
of
the
environment,
protecting
parks,
protecting
trees,
rising
water
number,
nine,
develop
a
bike
path
to
connect
chelsea
to
boston.
F
Okay,
thank
you.
So
I'll
go
with
point
number
one.
Thank
you
for
clarifying
that
you've
spoken
to
to
youth.
I've
also
had
the
opportunity
to
to
hear
from
them
and
in
terms
of
open
space
and
parks.
I've
heard
time
and
time
again
that
the
word
is
just
thrown
so
loosely
and
it's
become
such
a
vanilla
conversation
always
say
it's
open
space
and
more
parks,
and
it's
just
glam.
It's
like
the
glamorous
thing
to
do.
F
Nowadays,
let's
have
parks
and
let's
have
open
space,
but
it
doesn't
necessarily
speak
to
the
needs
of
the
kids
and
one
of
the
key
things
I
keep
hearing
is
kids
want
a
skate
park
and
they've
said
it.
Many
many
times
skate
park
skate
park
skate
park,
so
so,
if
we
can
figure
out
a
way
to
like
fit
that
into
the
open
space
and
parks,
that
would
be
fabulous.
F
That'd
be
great,
and
I
mean
they,
they
themselves
have
ideas
of
where
the
skatepark
can
go,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
I
see
them
all
the
time
like
I
don't
drive
in
chelsea,
I
walk
everywhere,
and
I
see
these
kids
right
under
the
bridge
or
right
under
the
tobin
bridge.
They
play
there
a
bit
behind
the
williams
garage.
F
They
go
right
behind
on,
like
by
cherry
street
right
behind
the
cvs.
They
try
to
find
and
be
creative
of
where
they
can
skate.
I've
seen
some
amazing
young,
ladies
who
like
try
to
do
it
behind
their
home.
So
I
know
this
is
a
priority
and
it
would
bring
so
much
hope
and
joy
to
our
kids
to
have
a
skate
park
so
ask
them
because
they
have.
I
cannot
tell
you
they've
already
identified
three
places
where
I
think.
H
A
J
L
Secondly,
over
the
course
of
the
last
year,
our
north
suffolk
office
of
resilience
and
sustainability,
the
regional
climate
group
that
is
housed
in
our
department
developed
an
e-bike
pilot
program
which
would
essentially
consist
of
purchasing
electric
powered
bicycles
and
raffling
them
off
to
low
moderate
income
families,
depending
on
their
need.
So
not
only
would
that
allow
for
bicycling
and
healthy
activity,
but
it
would
introduce
a
newer
technology
that
makes
cycling
a
little
bit
easier
and
could
hopefully
shift
folks
away
from
driving
and
all
their
all
their
trips.
J
Emphasize
number
three
and
two
as
it
connects
to
a
lot
of
the
concerns
that
have
come
up
in
the
community.
I
would
say
that
you
know
also.
I
know
that
there
is
currently
an
awesome
project
that
the
affordable,
housing
trust
is
launching
or
will
be
launching
regarding
elderly
and
renovations
for
elderly
and
whatnot,
but
those
who
are
not
elderly
and
are
homeowners
in
our
city.
I
see
a
lot
of
my
neighbors.
You
know
they
have
windows
that
are
deteriorating.
J
E
The
second
one
is
addressing
more
kind
of
health
concerns.
I
think
where,
whereas
you
know
you
have
especially
with
number
two
that
we've
we've
heard:
constant
complaints
from
the
public
regarding
rats
and
and
and
the
need
for
more
pest
control,
the
need
for
especially
getting
rid
of
mold-
and
you
know
other
various
kind
of
environmental
hazards
within
a
house
that
can
really
affect
somebody's
health.
So
I
think
concentrating
on
those
two
kind
of
things
is
probably
the
most
practical
thing.
E
I
I
agree
with
my
colleagues
that
some
of
these
things
can
be
combined
again,
and
I
think
that
you
know
like
you
had.
You
would
said
alex
that
it's
this,
it's
the
city's
job
to
distill
some
of
this
stuff
when,
when
it
comes
to
it,
so
I
I
would
just
recommend
that
that's
you
know
you
try
to
incorporate
some
of
the
things
that
can
be
combined
here.
So
that's
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
K
Member
and
we
we
did
like
the
well,
I
didn't
know
how
to
ride
a
bike
but
see
I
didn't
have
access
to
a
bike.
I
don't
know
how
to
ride
a
bike
people,
but
we
experimented
other
crew
members
that
knew
how
to
ride
a
bike
going
like
the
back
way
into
boston
and
that's
like
and
that's
how
people
do
drive
into
boston
right
and
that
is
not
safe.
At
all.
I
mean.
K
L
Most
of
the
time,
if
feasible,
the
best
practice
is
to
separate
it
with
some
type
of
guard
curbing
guardrail
barrier.
What
what
have
you
in
some
places?
That's
not
feasible
because
of
a
lack
of
space.
So
there
are
some
other
methods
that
we
use.
This
is
a
conversation
we
are
also
having,
though,
with
the
city
of
boston
right
now,
particularly
in
the
context
of
the
two
bridges
as
they
look
to
upgrade
the
meridian
street
bridge
over
the
next
five
years.
A
Okay,
moving
along
look
like
we're
getting
there
heads
down
so
prior
to
closing
it
out.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
coming
out
tonight
in
the
absence
of
our
president,
who
could
not
be
here
with
us
tonight,
but
also
the
members
just
made
it
tonight
to
ask
these
questions,
but
I
hope
not
only
that
you
will
take
our
concerns
and
our
thoughts
back
to
the
committee,
but
also
the
members
of
the
council
that
we
have
represent.
This
body
also
address
those.
A
F
Thank
you
for
conducting
this
meeting
and
allowing
us
to
participate.
If
anything
were
to
come
up
in
the
next
six
hours.
Next
24
hours
can
we
write
an
email
and
then
let
you
know
so.
You
can
present
it
to
the
board
and
you
said,
there's
two
more
meetings
for
this
committee
tomorrow
is
expected
to
be
the
day
where
they
finalize
their
priorities.
G
G
Would
go
into
each
category.
The
next
meeting
is
our
hope,
obviously,
with
progress
through
the
meeting
in
the
next
meeting.
They
would
go
into
each
of
those
categories
and
make
recommendations
about
how
much
of
those
a
lot
of
dollars
would
go
to
each
strategy.
So,
for
example,
if
three
strategies
were
allocated
for
housing
and
housing
tomorrow,
night
got
four
million
dollars
the
next
meeting.
It
would
be
of
those
three
categories.
How
would
you
allocate
the
four
million
dollars
between
those
three
categories.
G
G
G
A
D
D
D
So
some
of
the
recommendations
in
there
will
likely
demand
that
the
city
put
out
rfps
for
outside
help
to
small
businesses,
but
some
may
just
entail
building
additional
capacity
within
alex's
department
for
a
small
business
specialist,
for
example.
So
there'll
be
a
mix
of
capacity
building
within
city
hall
and
are
in
partnerships
with
outside
entities.
D
D
So
as
quick
as
we
can,
but
I
will
I
do
want
to
make
clear
one
thing
which
I've
had
conversations
with
some
counselors,
but
not
everyone.
On
this.
We
have
spent
opera
money
already
continuing
some
of
the
critical
services
that
we
were
doing
with
federal
cares
act,
our
so
their
their.
We
have
so
some
of
the
critical
services
that
we
were
doing
during
coving
support
of
food,
pantries
eviction,
task
force,
services.
D
Those
kind
of
things
we
when
federal
cares
act
funded,
ran
out
for
those
critical
services.
We
continue
them
post.
This
post
fall
of
2021
with
opera
dollars,
so
we
have
already
have
been
spending
some
oppa
dollars
to
continue
the
critical.
The
the
sort
of
highest
of
priority
needs
that
we
have
seen
in
the
community.
We've
continued
them
with
opera
spending.
So
I
hope
that
put
you
a
little
at
ease
that
we
haven't
there.
D
There
hasn't
been
this
gap
between
what
we
were
doing
to
protect
people
during
coven
and
now
we're
sitting
here,
nothing's
happening
and
we're
waiting
to
spend
apple
dollars.
There
has
been
a
continuation
of
some
sort
of
emergency
type
spending
that
we've
done
to
keep
programs
in
place
that
we're
operating
effectively
during
coving.
E
E
A
Well,
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
coming
in
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
Council
members
paul
alex,
thank
you,
carl
and
young
lady.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here,
participating
in
helping
us
get
more
knowledge
and
understanding
this
process
and
no
more
business
with
this
council
regarding
this
matter.
Thank
you.
