Description
City of Chelsea, Discuss Budget FY22
A
A
A
A
Feeling
fine,
so
tonight
we
will
have
in
this
order
unless
we
make
adjustments,
we
have
procurement
personnel,
employee
benefits,
city
clerk,
parking,
health
and
human
services,
health
officer,
elder
affairs,
veteran
services,
library,
recreation
and
cultural
affairs,
assessing
emergency
management
and
police,
we'll
start
off
with
procurement,
and
we
have
drag
drag.
I
want
to
make.
C
C
I
just
want
to
have
a
little
overview
of
what
we
do
in
the
purchasing
department.
We
approve,
on
the
daily
basis,
every
and
most
the
purchasing
activities
for
the
purchasing
and
the
rest
of
the
departments
for
the
city
which
now
when
we
are
reviewing
the
the
budget
and
already
approved
cip
budget
totals
everything
has
to
come
through.
C
My
office
purchasing
a
department
to
be
approved
to
make
sure
we
follow
the
state
and
federal
laws,
and
then
we
give
everybody
open
and
fair
competitive
procurement
process
and
ensuring
the
equal
opportunity
for
all
other
than
purchase
orders.
We
once
we
put
bids
out
proposals,
qualifications,
we
put
the
contracts
together
for
the
city,
we
execute
them.
One
of
the
big
achievements
for
fi
21
was
that
we
started
doing
contracts
electronically
and
we
are
gonna
make
sure
that
in
fi
22
the
contracts
are
done
most
of
the
contracts
and
agreement
through
electronically
to
save
paper.
C
C
It
serves
us
well,
but
is
a
little
outdated
and
that's
a
big
big
goal
for
the
purchasing
department
to
make
sure
all
the
contracts
and
everything
related
to
those
contracts
are
maintained
and
done
well
and
probably
approachable
and
can
be
seen
by
other
departments
as
well
expenses,
the
salaries,
it's
usually
two
full-timers
chief
procurement
officer
me
myself
and
head
administrative
clerk
that
it
used
to
be
at
the
position
half
time
back
in
19,
but
we'll
get
to
that.
When
we
get
better
times.
C
Longevity
affects
myself
and
head
admin
clerk
I've
been
served
with
the
city
for
20
years
and
the
head
clerk
for
10
years
in
fi
22
on
sick
bonus,
sleep,
it's
for
both
of
us
in
expense
line.
We
have
advertising
by
law.
We
have
to
make
sure
all
the
bids
proposals
or
qualifications
have
to
by
lobby
advertise.
So
that
line
is
most
for
the
local
chelsea
record.
C
C
C
C
It
covers
most
of
its
supplies
that
we
oversee
and
centralized
for
the
rest
of
the
department
and
also
covers
purchase
of
ink
for
toners
or
small,
not
big
supplies
like
printing
shredding
and
so
on,
and
the
big
contract
for
the
contract
docusigns
that
we
are
doing
another
one
is
for
do's
and
subscription
that
covers
the
memberships
that
we
have
for
mapo
and
that's
it
for
the
purchasing
department.
If
you
have
any
questions,
feel
free.
C
F
Council
of
the
the
second
person
in
that
in
that
department
this
is
the
first
year
for
their
longevity.
She
reached
a
10-year
threshold,
so
her
her
amount
of
600
dollars
is
new
to
this
budget.
Drajika's
increases
as,
as
she
said,
part
of
the
contractual
arrangements.
So
hers
goes
up
as
her
time
goes
up,
so
this
increase
of
one
thousand
dollars
is
a
combination
of
two
things.
It's
a
new
person
coming
into
the
unit
at
that
threshold,
the
first
threshold
for
10
years
at
600,
and
it's
an
increase
based
on
her
her
time
and
service.
C
A
F
F
A
I
With
the
addition
of
our
dei
officer,
it's
the
goal
to
provide
employee
training
in
support
of
this
endeavor,
such
as
implicit
bias
and
compliance
training,
and
to
include
non-harassment
non-discrimination
and
other
related
training
and
our
accomplishments
for
fiscal
year.
21
included
that
we
successfully
rolled
out
and
updated
policies
for
exempt
employees
and
employees
not
otherwise
covered
by
collective
bargaining
agreements
and
with
the
challenges
brought
about
by
covid
and
working
remotely.
We
use
this
as
an
opportunity
to
automate
and
streamline
administrative
processes.
I
We
increase
deficiencies
by
replacing
a
manual
and
cumbersome
paper
process
for
all
new
hire
and
employee
changes
by
introducing
and
implementing
docusign,
which
is
an
automated
electronic
signature
form
and
our
major
goal
for
fiscal
year
22
is
to
implement
the
hr
benefits
module
in
munis,
which
will
provide
accuracy
and
timeliness
in
reporting
and
further
streamline
efficiencies
and
offer
employee
self-service
once
implemented.
This
will
eliminate
the
need
for
docusign
expenses
and
reduce
further
compliance
reporting
costs.
I
Well,
the
year
prior,
our
advertising
budget
budget
was
fifteen
thousand
dollars
and
during
covid
we
cut
that
significantly
to
a
thousand
dollars
figuring
that
during
that
time,
we
really
weren't
going
to
be
doing
a
lot
of
advertising.
But
there
has
been
the
need
to
fill
some
positions
and-
and
that
will
continue
so
we
needed
to
increase
that,
but
it's
still
significantly
lower
than
it
was
a
couple
of
years
ago.
I
G
I
B
K
I
I
H
I
I
I
L
G
So
sometimes
we
have
a
need
in
a
office
the
let's
get
busy.
We
need
to
bring
someone
on
board.
The
union
contract
allows
us
to
bring
someone
on
board
on
a
temporary
basis
for
six
weeks
before
we
have
to
go
to
the
union
and
hire
a
permanent
so
sometimes
we'll
bring
on
a
temporary
play
for
a
very
short
period
of
time,
just
to
get
through
a
project
other
times.
We
use
this
for
interns
in
the
summer,
kids
from
college
want
a
job.
They
want
to
do
something
we'll
use
this
line
to
pay
them.
L
I
It
depends,
it
may
be
an
employee
referral.
They're
most,
I
would
say
all
chelsea
residents.
It
may
be
word
of
mouth.
We
may
put
an
ad
in
I'll,
be
putting
in
an
ad
for
a
couple
of
temporary
workers
and
that'll
go
out
on
our
on
our
I'll,
send
it
out
to
all
of
you,
probably
within
the
next
day,
and
also
that'll
go
on
our
website.
So,
yes,
we
do
advertising.
G
Usually
we
try.
If
it's
going
to
be
a
temporary
employee,
we
usually
try
very
hard
to
hire
someone
from
chelsea
if
they're
college
interns,
sometimes
the
school,
reaches
reach
out
to
us
with
someone
that
they're
looking
to
get
some
work
for
those
sometimes
aren't
necessarily
chelsea
kids,
but
it's
a
school
program
and
they're
trying
to
get
a
placement
for
someone.
But
if
it's
someone
we're
looking
to
bring
on
in
a
short
term,
we
usually
almost,
we
almost
never
go
outside
the
city
of
chelsea.
For
that.
A
G
F
F
A
L
F
F
Okay,
so
we
this
employee
benefits
section,
is
overseen
by
the
human
resources
department.
It
includes
the
health
insurance
costs
for
all
of
our
employees,
life
insurance,
medicare
workers
compensation,
so
the
medicare
cost
is
1.45
of
an
employee's
pay
and
that
is
funded
through
this
department.
The
city's
share
of
that
comes
to
this
department
workers,
compensation
costs
that
would
be
borne
by
the
hr
department
in
the
event
that
that
is
necessary
for
a
worker
who
is
injured
on
duty
through
dpw,
mostly
and
occasionally
through
fire
and
police.
F
J
Under
the
workman's
comp
there's,
a
14.5
percent
increase
sixty
thousand
dollars.
I'm
just
curious
are
these,
for
is
that?
Because
there
were
recent
accidents
that
have
happened
so
you're
seeing
that
level
of
an
increase.
I
know
that
because
of
kovid,
usually
the
workman's
comp
prices
have
gone
down.
So
I'm
it's
kind
of
counterintuitive
that
you'd
see
a
14.5
increase.
I
That
one's
always
a
difficult
one
to
predict.
Unfortunately,
because
we
don't
know
exactly
what
our
expenses
are
going
to
be,
it's
a
prediction
or
an
estimate
unfortunate.
It's.
We
did
have
a
couple
of
settlements
this
year
that
so
that'll
come
out
of
that
line.
Item
on
the
city
side,
we're
waiting
for
one
right
now.
We
also
had
another
settlement
not
too
long
ago,
that
you
know
we
work.
I
G
H
J
G
G
But
our
people
were
working
for
the
most
part.
You
know
the
people
who
get
injured
on
our
are
typically
police
fire
dpw.
Those
are
the
those
are
where
we
see
our
injuries,
and
you
know,
as
I
said,
police
and
fire.
They
get
paid
their
salary,
so
that's
not
coming
out
of
here,
but
their
their
medical
expenses
are
coming
out
of
this
and
for
for
other
employees
that
get
injured.
This
is
where
the
payments
are
coming
from.
D
F
G
G
Individuals
also
pay
a
tax
for
medicare
and,
if
you
to
qualify
for
medicare,
you
do
have
to
meet
certain
other
requirements
as
some
of
our
employees
meet
them
and
some
of
them
don't
you
have
to
have
so
many
quarters
in
the
private
sector.
I
believe
it's
10,
it's
40
quarters
in
the
private
sector
in
order
to
qualify
for
medicare.
If
you
don't
qualify,
you
still
get.
We
will
still
move
you
into
medicare,
but
we
will
pay
a
penalty.
So
the
city.
G
D
G
G
G
G
F
Based
on
an
annual
report
that
is
submitted
from
the
retirement
department
to
perak
our
oversight
authority
on
the
retirement
system
and
they
in
turn
analyze
and
and
provide
us
with
the
cost
of
our
contribution
and
that's
split
between
the
city
and
the
schools.
So
what
you
see
here,
this
nine
million
dollar
number
is
the
city's
portion.
The
school
would
have
presented
their
portion.
F
I
think,
last
night
in
in
their
projections
the
smaller
number.
The
eleven
thousand
is
a
non-contributory
piece,
that's
for
one
individual
who
does
not
qualify
for
the
retirement
based
on
on
the
age
of
that
person,
and
so
that's
that's
going
to
at
some
point
change.
But
at
this
point
it's
projected
to
be
eleven
thousand.
J
F
G
But
there
are
two
components
to
this
number:
one
is
the
actual
cost
to
pay
retirees,
what
we
owe
them
for
next
fiscal
year
and
then
we're
paying
a
chunk
of
our
unfunded
liability,
the
difference
between
what
we
have
in
assets
and
what
we
owe
all
our
retirees
and
we
have
to
close
that
gap
to
zero
right
in
the
next
seven
years.
If.
F
J
G
A
O
O
As
you
can
see
at
a
glance
we
took
in
over
73
000
for
certificates
and
licenses,
one
of
the
key
accomplishments.
I
guess
I
will
most
proud
of
is
the
election
during
global
pandemic,
and
thank
you
for
your
words.
I
heard
you
at
a
meeting
so
we're
very
proud
of
that
with
the
help
and
support
of
dpw
and
the
city
manager,
and
then
one
of
the
goals
and
initiatives
that
we're
most
proud
of
is
or
where
want
to
work
continue.
Working
on
is
scanning
the
city
council
meeting
documents.
O
O
And
then,
in
our
expenses,
salary
and
just
operations,
there
is
only
a
one
percent
difference.
We
did
ask.
We
didn't
make
any
changes,
obviously,
due
to
covid
it's
not
actually
our
year
is
not
actually
reflected,
so
we
kept
that
the
same
and
then
as
far
as
personnel,
we
did
everyone's
the
same
as
far
as
city
cleric
assistant
and
the
senior
clerk,
but
the
floater
position
that
was
previously
previously
held
by
fatima's
recently
filled
by
kimberly
the
greeter,
so
we
actually
promoted
her
and
she
started
on
may
3rd.
O
A
Jeannette,
one
of
the
things
that
was
discussed
during
our
charter
review
was
either.
The
original
was
a
attempt
to
move
the
election
day
from
a
tuesday
to
a
saturday
to
get
more
people,
and
then
the
the
conversation
has
since
turned
that
in
reaction
to
the
early
voting
that
was
implemented
by
the
state
and
is
going
to
continue
that
a
similar
option
be
considered
for
the
city
elections
that
they
be
consistent
with
what
the
state
does
locally.
A
O
A
O
Tuesday
yeah
we
have
to
revert
to
the
state
laws
so
mass
general
law,
so
even
those
temporary
and
some
permanent
laws,
the
2020
laws
due
to
covid
election
laws,
so
early
voting
has
to
end
the
friday
before
the
election.
So
the
saturday
before
the
election
is
not
an
option.
It
would
be
the
saturday
before
that
and
you
can
and
but
right
now
we
did
look
into
that
with
michelle
tessinari
from
the
state.
The
those
laws
expired
june
30th,
so
they
were
only
implemented
due
to
coven.
O
There
are
so
there
is
legislation
out
there
for
to
to
make
that
permanent,
but
it's
not
the
effective
as
of
yet
it
hasn't
been
passed,
and
so
as
of
right
now,
all
those
all
those
changes
expire
on
june
30th.
So
I
don't
have
any
more
information,
but
I
was
told
that
we
cannot
make
those
changes.
It's
not
an
option
for
municipalities
because
it
was
due
to
cover
last
year.
H
G
O
O
Yeah,
okay,
we
we
we
try
our
best
to
do
it.
The
turnout
wasn't
great
though
so
it
like
tom,
said
it
would
be
more
overtime
into
the
office.
It
would
impact
our
overtime
line,
not
our
poll
workers
line.
I
would
all
that
would
be
the
same,
meaning
that
I
did
hire
extra
people
to
handle
that
the
extra
mail
cause
typically
more
people
participate,
but.
A
What
kind
of
impact
did
early
voting
have
not
on
the
weekends,
but
during
the
week
to
your
operations
when
they
had
to
come
into
city
hall?
Granted
we
had
people
escorted
into
the
building,
but
I'm
curious
as
to
know
did
that
impact
your
office
and
having
to
do
both
serve
as
a
voting
site
and
do
work.
O
Yeah,
absolutely
it
was
tough
because
you
have
parking
and
people
just
they'll
tell
you.
Customers
are
complaining
because
I
just
want
to
get
my
birth
certificate,
I'm
only
here
for
this
like.
Why
do
they
get
to
go
to
the
office?
So
we
do
a
lot
explaining
just
like
crowd
control,
but
you
are
juggling
the
two
and
it
doesn't.
We
have
awesome
staff
here,
so
you
have
someone
like
carmen
staying
and
then
getting
to
the
online
or
getting
to
the
mail
to
process
the
those
applications
or
requests.
O
A
You
can't
mount
now,
but
if
it
was-
and
let's
just
say
it
was
special
because
cities
and
towns,
such
as
boston,
have
special
legislation
and
it
just
it's
a
the
state
has
to
adopt
it,
but
they
can
petition.
So
my
question
is:
if
it
was
to
go
in
that
direction,
you
would
you
would
suggest
for
a
a
management
position,
it's
better
to
have
it
when
you're
not
already
doing
other
city
business.
O
No,
I
I
don't
know
that
that
chain.
I
have
to
be
honest
with
you.
I
don't
know
that
it
changed
the
outcome.
Had
I,
for
example,
if
on
a
tuesday
instead
of
till
four
or
til
four,
if
I
did
it
till
seven
on
a
thursday,
so
on
adding
an
extra
day,
I
don't
know
that
it
would.
It
would
change
that
much
it's
it's
a
burden
on
us,
but
I
don't
know
that
it
would
change
by
changing
the
hours.
Would
would
make
it
that
much
different.
A
What
I'm
asking
is,
for
example,
instead
of
saying
you
also
are
operating
regular
hours
and,
in
addition
trying
to
be
a
voting
site,
does
it
make
sense
to
instead
of
if
it's
a
saturday
prior
to
the
election?
It's
the
two
it's
saturday,
even
before
that,
so
a
saturday
and
sunday
prior
to
that
election
weekend,
you
allow
early
voting
on
a
saturday
sunday
when
there's
no
other
business,
except
that
versus
trying
to
have
early
voting
from
that
monday
to
that
friday,
before
that
election
day,
that
they're
serving
not
only
doing
city
hall
business
but
also.
G
If
you're
saying,
if
that,
if
you
could
create
such
a
scheme
and
make
it
legal
yeah,
I
think
it's
obvious
that
that
would
be
easier
because
it
was
confusing
and
it
was
a
bit
difficult
when
we
had
at
one
point,
we
tried
to
create
two
lines
like
here's:
a
line
for
voting,
here's
a
line
to
everything
else.
We
had
some
control
this
year
because
we
were
controlling
the
lines
of.
G
And
so
we
won't
be
able
to
exercise
that
similar
level
of
control
in
the
future,
and
so
it's
likely
to
be
even
more
hectic,
so
you're.
The
direct
answer,
question,
I
think,
is
yes.
That
would
be
better,
but
I
don't
think
the
state
for
at
least
state
elections
would
allow
us
to
do
that.
Perhaps
if
you're
going
to
create
some
home
rule
petition
for
municipal
elections
only
they
might,
and
yes
if
you
could
arrange
it
so
that
early
voting
is
when
they're,
otherwise
not
open
other
than
paying
the
overtime
logistically,
it
would
be
much
simpler.
O
A
And
tom,
have
you
heard
anything
given
the
fact
that
boston
is
facing
a
big
mayoral
race
and
so
forth?
They
get
the
attention.
Little
chelsea
will
never
get
the
attention,
but
have
you
heard
any
anything
about
that
expert,
the
expiration
of
early
voting
and
whether
or
not
cities
and
towns
like
boston
are
pushing
for
that?
I.
G
Haven't
heard
much
focus
on
early
voting,
yet
only
because
it's
not
as
time
sensitive
as
some
of
these
other
things
that
are
about
to
expire.
So
you
know
nothing.
Much
is
happening
from
june
30
until
september
when
it
comes
to
voting,
but
other
things
like,
for
example,
the
current
law
that
says
you
can't
operate
remotely
and
have
a
quorum
remotely
that
is
ending
on
june
15,
unless
the
legislature
does
something
by
june
15th.
G
So
those
kind
of
deadlines
are
getting
the
most
attention
right
now
that
election
deadline
is
likely
to
get
attention
as
soon
as
it
starts
become
a
pressing
matter
and
you're
right,
boston's
a
obvious
example.
So
my
guess
is
there'll
be
some
pressure
to
create
some
early
voting,
but
I
haven't
heard
anything
yet
at
the
municipal
level
as
to
where
the
legislature
is
going
on
that,
I
think,
as
jeannette
said,
the
rules
are
going
to
expire
on
june
30.
O
O
K
O
O
So
I
feel
like
that.
That's
where
we
pick
that
up,
but
the
foot
traffic
has
been
less
than
it
typically
is,
but
we
have
got
we,
for
example,
with
the
online
we've
had
more
online
appeals
than
in
person.
Obviously,
due
to
covid,
less
people
coming
in
we've
had
more
applications
online
for
resident
permits
and
stickers.
K
K
O
We
have
they
have
we
do
the
weddings,
we
do
the
birth
death
most
people
are,
they
are
applying
online,
but
I
feel
like
we're.
We've
had
less
like
less
sales,
and
I
don't
know
if,
because
people
have
other
things
going
on
because
of
covet,
I
the
last
year
is
not
reflect
it's
not
a
regular
year.
So
I
yeah.
K
O
No,
so
I
don't
know
what
that
specifically
to
because
we
we've
been
open
since
june
1st.
So
if
somebody
calls
311
and
says
I
want
to
make
an
appointment
to
come
in,
we've
been
open
to
the
public,
we'll
take
down
the
information
and
we
mark
them.
Like
we'll
say
we
we
let
the
greeters
know
that
these
people
are
coming
at
this
time,
and
so
that
way
they
don't
have
to
make
the
line
outside,
so
they
were
able
to
just
come
into
the
building
they
just
had
to
make
the
line
inside.
O
O
O
Take
it
as
an
appointment,
so
I
I
think
we've
done
a
good
job,
communicating
with
people
saying.
Well,
you
don't
need
one,
but
if
you
think,
if
they're
planning
on
coming
on
their
lunch
hour,
we
would
just
let
the
greeters
know
that
so-and-so
is
coming
for
a
birth
certificate.
Just
let
so
they
didn't
make
the
line
outside.
They
had
an
appointment,
so
they'd
come
in
and
they
skipped
the
line.
L
G
G
Be
determined
that
money
you
funded
that
position
last
year.
We
just
never
filled
it
until
just
recently,
so
in
may
we
finally
filled
this
temporary
position
with
one
of
the
persons
who
previously
was
operating
as
a
greeter.
A
chelsea
resident,
who
was
a
greeter,
has
now
been
hired
for
that
floater
position.
Okay,.
O
So
carmen
and
patty
are
the
city
clerk's
side
and
kimberly.
Contreras
is
the
new
person
she's
the
city
clerk
side
of
things,
and
then
parking
is
rosa?
Who
does
the
traffic
and
parking
commission
and
then
hector
at
the
window,
their
parking
side?
But
everybody
is
hands-on,
so
it
doesn't.
Even
though
we're
labeled
as
an
apartment
department.
We
we
don't.
We
do
everything.
O
O
G
K
O
K
O
O
H
H
K
K
A
O
I
still
get
the
calls
and
I'll
forward
them
to
naomi
because
they're
so
used
to
it
being
debbie
so
when
they
call
they'll
leave
messages
for
debbie
but
they're
getting
used
to
it,
but
it's
all
through
naomi
one
of
my
goals
on
the
city
clerk's
side
was
to.
I
want
to
do
a
better
job
of
you
want
to
apply
for
a
business
certificate.
So
what
happens?
Is
someone
comes
to
my
office?
They
apply
and
they
don't
know
that
they
need
an
occupancy
permit.
O
So
I
tell
them
to
go,
get
an
occupancy
permit,
but
when
they
return
for
the
business
certificate
they
don't
really
know
what
to
do
from
there,
and
so
I
want
to
work
with
naomi
from
licensing
and
isd
and
get
to
maybe
it's
a
flyer
that
says
if
you're
doing
these
businesses,
you
will
should
go
to
licensing,
because
I
think
they
genuinely
don't
know
what
the
next
step
is
right.
They
did
the
right
thing
by
getting
the
opportunity
getting
the
business
certificate,
because
so,
for
example,
you
don't
need
a
lot.
O
You
don't
need
to
go
to
licensing
for
a
salon
which
I
didn't
know
that
until
recently,
but
if
you
put
a
tv
in
the
salon,
you
need
an
entertainment
license.
So
how
would
so?
I
want
to
do
a
better
job
of
giving
that
to
the
customer.
So
that's
one
of
the
goals,
so
they
don't
work
with
me,
but
because
we're
all
kind
of
connected.
Just
with
that
one
thing
I
want
to
work
on
that.
A
O
If
anything,
I
slightly
made
some
cutbacks
in
advertising
and
equipment
maintenance,
and
that
was
just
because
looking
at
fiscal
year
20
I
saw
that
I
can
just
a
little
wiggle
room
there
and
you
know
just
I
guess,
giving
back
a
little
bit,
but
outside
of
that
I
haven't.
I
didn't
request
any
changes
and
there
are
no
changes
to
the
personnel
in
that
department.
O
So
we
bought
the
transit
and
then
we
just
in
the
cip,
I
have
for
a
new
trans
transit
vehicle.
So
what
that
will
do
is
that
will
complete
my
fleet
so
we've
had
we
have
a
1999,
astro
van
and
a
2001
tourist,
so
we're
getting
so
we'll
have
the
two
ford
focuses
and
two
transit
ford
transits,
so
that
will
have
those
all
be
up.
Newer
cars.
D
P
D
O
So
in
february
of
2020
I
had
we
approved,
I
first
came
to
the
I
was
asked
by
the
council
to
go
over
the
program
and
see
where
we
can
make
adjustments
and
one
of
the
ones
we
came
up
with
doing.
Research
with
local
communities
was
a
resident
commercial
because
we
didn't
want
to
punish
the
person
trying
to
make
a
living
right.
So
the
car
is
a
commercial
vehicle.
It's
registered
out
of
chelsea
garage
out
of
chelsea,
but
they
paid
300
every
six
months
because
it
is
a
business
vehicle.
O
O
O
Yes,
we
do
have
one,
we
still
we
kept
that,
so
we
have
no
more
than
six
tires
and
nine
feet
tall
and
we
still
abide
by
that.
So
when
someone
comes
in
so
we
recently
had
someone
with
a
camper
they
came
to
us,
we
saw
that
the
plate
type
was
strange.
It
was
a
bigger
car,
so
usually
someone
from
the
traffic
unit.
We
will
get
in
contact
with
them
and
they
make
an
appointment
with
the
person
who's
trying
to
apply.
O
G
H
B
K
Brown,
our
office
and
I
said
to
you
before-
and
there
was
a
lot
of
chaos
going
on
the
2020
election,
but
chelsea
was
one
of
those
communities
that
really
stuck
out
and
got
a
lot
of
praise
for
your
work
and
your
effort.
So
we
really
thank
you
for
the
work
and
all
the
collaboration
that
we
have
with
the
office.
But
chelsea
was
one
of
the
offices
that
really
stuck
out
at
our
office
during
the
2020
election.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that.
A
Can
you
explain
a
little
bit
about
this,
the
the
plate
reader?
I
know
that
this
was
something
that
the
police
department
had
in
the
past,
but
it
it
reads
as
if
it's
now
in
the
use
in
hands
of
parking
enforcement,
so
is
that
the
act
is
that
was
actually
happening.
That
no
longer
is
just
the
police
personnel
that
is
driving
us,
but
it's
actually
parking.
A
O
You
expand
on
that
two
different
uses,
so
ours
is
strictly
so
it
doesn't
run
registrations
like
the
police.
Does
it's
strictly
for
parking
enforcement,
meaning
that
so
we
use
it
for
two
things.
We
use
it
for
the
residential
parking
program,
whether
or
not
your
so
in
the
terms
of
the
equipment
it's
authorized
to
be
here.
Do
you
have
a
sticker?
All
it
does
is
a
piece
of
equipment
that
sounds
off
to
us.
That
says
this
car
doesn't
have
a
sticker.
O
We
come
out
of
the
vehicle
we
check.
If
you
have
a
valid
permit,
you
have
valid
permit.
If
paper
permit,
like
a
visitor,
if
you
have
a
sticker,
it
will
acknowledge.
You
have
a
sticker,
and
then
we
do
the
metered
parking
limits
so
to
drive
down
broadway
and
to
see,
if
you're
over
the
two-hour
limit.
But
it's
not
a
perfect
system.
It's
it
helps
us
it's
again
in
the
turn.
The
terms
that
they
use
is
authorized
not
authorized
so,
for
example,
those
15-minute
spaces.
O
C
A
F
Think
it's
not
it's
not
part
of
the
general
fund,
so
you're
not
going
to
see
it
in
the
revenue
stream.
You
see
it
as
a
as
an
expense
out
in
the
indirect
cost
when
we
ask
for
the
money
to
be
transferred
back.
So
it's
on
tom's
forecast
as
a
transfer
in
as
an
indirect
cost
similar
to
what
the
school
department
gives
us
for
grants.
F
F
H
F
A
O
H
F
Wouldn't
be
certain
if
the
numbers
I'll
give
you
it's
around
4
200
a
month,
and
that's
that's
what
I'm
quoting
is
from
recent
months.
So
this
is
the
february
of
21
march
of
21
january
of
21.
Those
are
all
in
average
4
200
a
month
now
I
haven't
gone
back
to
compare
previous
months
to
see
if
there
was
a
higher
stream
than
that.
We
didn't
finish
the
analysis
on
that
for
today,
but
we
we
do,
have
this
information
and
we'll
have
it
readily
available
for
another
meeting
time.
A
Are
we
seeing
the
eventual
elimination
of
those
parking
meters,
specifically
with
downtown
broadway,
the
the
planned
rework
of
the
sidewalks
and
and
and
what
is
coming
down
the
next
year
or
two?
Is
that
sort
of
street
furniture
being
removed
and
using
not
obviously
not
everyone's
going
to
be
able
to
use
on
that?
But
are
we
looking
at
what
we
see
in
other
communities,
the
parking
station.
Q
O
And
I
absolutely
have
my
eye
on
that
that
won't
slip
by
me,
because
I
think
that
when
one
when
that
happens,
the
other
has
to
happen
because
the
meters
going
into
the
ground,
if
someone
hits
them
dpw,
has
to
assist,
we
have
to
cut
them.
I
would
like
to
see
once
those
changes
are
made
downtown
broadway,
that
we
upgrade
the
meters
as
well.
F
Okay,
so
the
second,
the
second
revenue
stream
that
I
refer
to
as
the
parking
tickets.
So
you
just
talked
about
the
parking
meters,
there's
also
the
parking
tickets
and
that's
on
track
for
about
two
million
dollars
in
revenue
for
fiscal
21.
We
had
thought
we'd
see
a
drop.
We
had
budgeted
a
million
instead
of
2
million
from
the
previous
year,
but
we
are
seeing
it
seems
to
be
on
track
with
what
it
was
last
year
as
well.
F
O
F
F
L
O
We
sell
every
three
months,
a
permit
for
150
dollars
for
anyone,
a
business
owner
or
employees
on
broadway
it
kind
of
wasn't.
I
think
the
idea
was
an
incentive
to
take
them
off
broadway
and
create
that
turnover
on
broadway
by
putting
them
into
luther
place
and
what
happens
is
a
first
come
first
serve,
and
so
you
buy
the
permit
and
if
you're
there
first
thing
in
the
morning,
whatever
spaces
are
available,
you
get
to
park
there
without
feeding
the
meter.
It's
the
only
place.
We
do
that
and
I
think.
H
D
B
A
F
G
G
G
This
is
where
you're
going
to
find
julie's
salary
and
the
salary
of
the
the
vacant
salary
that
was
previously
occupied
by
margarita,
who
retired
post
the
submission
of
the
budget
and
whose
position
has
not
yet
been
filled,
although
we
will
fill
it.
In
addition,
we
have
this
one
grant
funded
position
which
is
ryan
barry.
This
is
a
dph
grant
that
we
just
got
renewed
for
two
more
years.
G
G
M
G
F
F
A
G
F
L
K
K
H
H
G
K
R
F
A
G
Right
so
we
are
now.
This
is
the
public
health
department.
This
is
the
public
health
department,
new
public
health
director.
She
oversees
right
now
herself
in
the
public
health
nurse.
That
is
the
sum
and
substance
at
the
moment
of
our
public
health
department.
Hopefully
it
will
grow,
but
for
now
it
is
floor
and
our
public
health
nurse
paula
mccat
with
that
said,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
our
new
public
health
director
flora
maya
to
talk
about
the
new
public
health
department
of
the
city.
Q
Hi
good
evening,
everyone
I
apologize
for
the
confusion
based
on
just
coming
up
front
really
soon.
So,
as
tom
just
introduced
me,
my
name
is
flora.
Maya-
and
I
am
the
director
of
the
new
position
of
public
health
and
the
goal
of
the
department
is
drawing
a
lot
from
what
health
and
human
services
or
elements
of
the
former
health
and
human
services
division
or
department
in
the
fact
that
it
is.
Q
Q
Continuing
the
monitoring
of
infectious
disease
in
the
surveillance
and
also
thinking
beyond
covid
thinking
of
the
chronic
health
conditions
that
plague
underserved
communities
and
also
the
bypoc
population,
like
the
one
we
have
here
in
chelsea,
and
that
is
just
in
a
really
short
brief.
What
we
will
focus
on
from
here
on,
there
was
a
lot
said
about
the
budget,
so
I'll,
wait
and
see.
If
you
have
any
questions
regarding
some
of
the
key
elements
of
the
department
itself
or.
Q
Yes,
and
so,
as
tom
mentioned
earlier,
some
of
the
contracts
that
were
previously
under
the
health
and
human
services
department
are
now
under
my
supervision
and
those
include
the
navigators
program.
The
housing
basic
services
support
the
social
services,
referral
and
case
management,
and
also
the
north
suffolk
public
health
collaborative.
Q
Q
A
K
K
Anything
I
can
do
to
help
you
from
your
brief
introduction
and
also
your
desires
of
what
you
would
like
to
do
in
the
collaboration
with
the
community
in
the
city
itself
and
the
department.
It
sounds
wonderful
and
I
just
wish
you
all
the
best
and
again,
as
council
robertson
said,
the
city
council
is
here
to
support
you
and
help
you,
and
hopefully
you
know
you
can
be
right
to
work.
Q
G
We
just
got
a
grant
that
isn't
final
yet
for
a
shared
epidemiologist
for
the
three
communities,
so
we'll
be
looking
to
do
some
hiring,
probably
over
the
summer.
For
that,
and
so
it's
and
floor
is
our
representative
on
that
group.
And
it's
a
pretty-
it's
become
a
pretty
helpful
group,
especially
during
covet.
G
So
it
was
the
sleepy
little
thing
that
I
wasn't
sure
was
worth
the
money
before,
but
now
that
it's
our
administrator's
mapc,
it
has
definitely
paid
dividends
through
covet
and
generated
more
in
one
year
and
additional
dollars
to
us
than
we've
paid
to
it
in
the
last
four.
So
it's
been
a
net
benefit
to
us
for
sure.
Q
Q
Q
17Th
is
when
the
first
equity
report
came
out
on
on
the
vaccination
rates
for
the
city
and
on
that
day,
as
march
17th
we've
had,
we
had
only
vaccinated
4038
residents,
and
this
is
fully
vaccinated,
which
means
two
weeks
after
your
second
dose
of
at
that
point,
pfizer
or
madrana,
and
as
of
may
17th,
we
had
vaccinated
15
339,
and
I
know
that
that
is
not
nowhere.
Where
we
want
to
be.
Q
Q
It
is
20
879
and
the
reason
why
the
second
doses
typically
move
slower
is
because
of
either
the
three
week
or
the
four
week
that
you
have
to
wait
for
the
return
rate,
so
we're
moving
in
the
right
direction,
we're
not
very
behind
the
rates
of
the
state,
but
we
still
have
a
lot
more
work
to
do,
and
I'm
really
hopeful
that
the
same
way
that
we
overcame
the
first
phase
of
code,
which
was
the
testing
the
decreasing
the
rates
and
lowering
our
positivity
rate.
We
can
increase
our
vaccination
rates.
A
Since
you
brought
this
matter
up
and
again,
it's
our
fault
I'll,
take
my
own
personal
responsibility
for
not
highlighting
the
work
that
you're
done
touching
upon
it
and
discuss
it.
Typically,
budget
hearings
are
more
about
facts,
numbers
and
not
the
actual
job,
but
you
did
come
into
a
new
role
here
and
I
know
that
you're
collaborating
if
you
stated
about
getting
the
vaccinations
out
and
with
testing.
A
When
testing
first
started
last
year
and
I
had
a
conversation
with
the
city
manager,
we
were-
and
I
was
one
of
them
who
put
a
lot
of
pressure
on
him,
mgh
and
so
forth-
to
say
that
we're
not
testing
enough
we're,
not
testing
enough
we're
not
getting
enough
testing
and
then
quickly
a
lot
sooner
than
someone
expect
before
you
knew
it.
We
had
several
areas
that
you
could
get
testing
where
it
was
prevalent.
You
could
walk
at
two
different
sites
go
to
mgh.
A
You
could
go
beth
israel,
so
we
had
to
get
out
of
it.
It
was
just
a
tough
to
get
out
of
the
gate,
but
once
we
hit
the
first
quarter,
we
were
rolling,
and
I
know
that
when
we
were
discussing
vaccinations-
and
I
was
having
a
conversation
with
tom
and
that
we
were
talking
about
vaccination
rate,
I
said
I
think
it's
going
to
happen
the
same
way
when
we
were
talking
about
testing,
which
was
we
were
under
pressure
to
get
as
many
you
know,
sites
available.
A
We
were
criticizing
our
own
stakeholders
for
not
available
for
them
limiting.
If
some
people
recall
there
was
a
lot
of
limits
to
whether
or
not
you
can
get
tested
you
had
us,
there
was
time
you
had
to
show
signs
before
you
even
got
tested
and
we
were
like.
Why
are
you
doing
this
and
we
were
hit
with
the
pandemic
and
sure
enough?
A
The
question
I
have
is
besides,
knowing
that
your
your
role
in
collaborating
all
that,
what
role
do
you
have
in
say,
oversight
when
it's
an
independent
party,
when
it's,
whether
it's
beth,
israel
or
mgh,
offering
their
own
and
not
actually
within
our
own?
Offering
do
you
have
do
they
have
to
come
in
front
of
the
city
in
order
to
offer
those
sort
of
services
cvs,
nothing?
G
I
would
say
this
and
I
add
her
perspective.
In
most
cases,
we've
played
a
supporting
role
for
these
independent
entities,
sometimes
more
supportive
than
others.
So,
at
especially
early
on,
like
march
april,
we
were
at
times
ordering
the
vaccine,
because,
as
a
city
as
an
equity
community,
we
had
access
to
vaccine
that
some
of
the
health
providers
did
not
even
providers
like
mgh,
so
we
would
coordinate
with
them
to
do
a
clinic.
We
would
order
the
vaccine,
we
would
kind
of
flex
it
to
them
and
we
would
we
would
work
with
them.
G
A
I
I
would
like
to
give
you
the
opportunity
I
know
you've
been.
There
are
those
that
are
separate,
beth,
israel
and
east
boston
clinic
and
so
forth,
but
the
city
itself
has
had
its
own
vaccination
program
and
you've
been
working
with
some
stakeholders.
Do
you
want
to
talk
touch
upon
that
and
who's
been
working?
I
know
that
louis
and
the
facebook.
Q
Q
So
there
have
been,
as
tom
mentioned,
multiple
efforts
in
providing
the
vaccinations
here
in
chelsea.
So
with
our
ability
to
have
and
order
equity
doses,
we
have
hosted
our
own
clinics.
The
educators
clinic
was
one
of
them.
That
was
done
in
collaboration
with
the
department
of
public
health
and
the
school
department,
and
it
has
been
myself
the
nurse
managing
the
vaccine,
ordering
the
vaccine
and
setting
up
the
infrastructure
to
then
record
and
do
the
inventory.
Q
So
after
every
clinic,
you
have
to
send
to
the
state
who
has
been
vaccinated,
who
hasn't-
and
this
is
how
they're
able
to
monitor
and
keep
track
of
the
vaccination
rates
and
so
lure.
This
helps
us
a
lot
with
the
communication
and
and
just
showcasing
what
we,
what
we
do,
and
that
has
been
really
really
helpful.
Q
Q
Q
Yes,
so
for
the
outreach
we
are
working
with
chelsea
black
community,
we're
working
with
green
roots,
we're
working
with,
and
everyone
is
helping
us
on
the
ground
to
do
the
outreach
component
and
and
doing
the
door
knocking.
So
it's
it's.
It's
a
big
endeavor
that
paula
and
myself
would
not
be
able
to
do
by
our
by
ourselves
like
independently.
G
We've
been
blessed
in
this
community
that
these
non-profits,
la
collaborative
and
green
roads,
for
instance,
have
been
granted
independent
contracts
by
the
state's
contract
asg
to
do
outreach,
so
they
have
their
own
contracts
with
them
for
outreach.
Chelsea
black
community
was
hired
independently
by
cataldo
on
the
senior
center
effort
to
do
the
coordination
work
for
that.
So
we,
you
know
having
these
local
nonprofits
that
are
engaged
in
the
community
be
under
contract.
To
do
this,
work
and
being
paid
by
other
entities
has
been
very
helpful
too.
This.
B
K
I
knew
a
lot
of
the
stuff
that
you
were
trying
to
get
but
as
she
just
spoke
about,
there
is
a
lot
of
collaboration,
and
I
know
you
have
been
working
very
hard
because
tom
keeps
this
update
with
all
the
information
and
all
the
sites
and
access
if
we
can
even
pass
it
out
to
our
network.
So
I
wanted
to
thank
you
on
your
early
tenure
here
and
hopefully
it's
a
long
time.
K
H
S
R
R
We,
the
senior
center
in
elder
services,
provides
health
and
wellness
programs
to
anybody
in
the
community
55
years
of
age
and
older
some
programs.
That's
right!
You
can
join
whenever
you
want
bingo,
so
the
goal
is
in
the
mission
statement
of
the
senior
center
is
just
to
provide
these
services
to
maintain
the
health
and
well-being
and
to
assist
those
in
the
community
to
live
longer
and
independently.
R
We
there
are
some
restrictions
with
regard
to
capacity
and
as
we
move
along
we'll
go
with
the
changes
with
whatever
mr
ambrosino
imposes,
but
through
the
state,
but
right
now
we
are
limited
capacity.
Limited
programs
seniors
do
have
to
call
in
to
reserve
still
a
spot
to
participate
in
the
exercise
in
the
bingo,
and
we
do
have
quilting
masks
are
still
worn.
R
R
G
A
R
Some
upgrades,
so
the
upgrades
have
been
made
and
and
continue
to
be
made
with
the
help
of
thankfully
fidel.
The
dpw
commissioner
and
his
staff
have
made
really
big
improvements
now
and
we're
looking
to
put
in
a
a
sound
system
throughout
the
center,
so
that
there's
speakers
and
and
cameras
as
well,
which
have
never
we've
never
had
so
it'd,
be
good
to
have
cameras
in
certain
points
of
the
center
a
surround
system
also
throughout
the
center.
R
R
They
are,
they
are
enthusiastically
at
the
center
and
we
actually
have
waiting
lists.
Just
because
again
we
we
limit
the
capacity
we're
starting
to
lift
that
a
little
bit,
but
we
have
waiting
lists
and
people
are
just
enthused
during
it
was
tough
during
covert.
We
had
a
lot
of
loss
in
one
year,
just
members
at
the
center
center.
R
Yeah
we've
been
so
we
that
was
our
biggest
challenge
coming
back
with
the
seniors
was
just
a
lot
of
sadness
with
the
families
that
were
affected.
So
we've
been
dealing
with
that
it
was
more.
It's
been
more
social
work
than
anything
else,
but
you
know
the
staff
has
been
extremely
needed
and
wonderful
so,
but
on
on
the
positive,
it's
they're
thrilled
to
be
back
and
they're
they're
they're,
getting
back
in
shape.
A
L
H
R
R
L
L
R
M
R
R
Now,
unfortunately,
for
us
we
lose
a
good
worker,
so
we
are
looking
to
replace
him
as
well
as
I
wanted
to
mention
beca
during
covered
marion
ramos,
who
was
with
the
senior
center
for
longer
than
I
want
to
say,
maybe
20
years
she
had
retired
during
covet,
and
I
wanted
to.
Actually.
This
is
a
good
opportunity
for
me
to
just
thank
her
and
congratulate
her.
P
P
P
G
Yeah,
I
just
say,
unfortunately,
we
would
have
planned
a
larger
memorial
day
effort,
but
during
the
time
we
were
planning
there
were
strict
capacity
limits
in
place,
and
so
they
got
lifted
sort
of
at
the
last
minute
and
it
didn't
allow
us
to
plan
anything.
We
expect
next
year,
we'll
get
back
to
our
normal
memorial
day.
Exercises
this
year
will
be
a
smaller
event,
but
it
will
be
outside
in
front
of
city
hall.
It
is
open
to
the
public
and
we
certainly
encourage
folks
to
attend
and
they're
going
to
kick
off
at
10
a.m.
Correct.
A
H
F
F
G
G
G
I
think
you
know
this
is
one
place
where
I
don't
want
to
run
out
of
money
and
veterans
benefits.
So
I'd
like
to
carry
this
number
for
one
more
year.
If
we
see
that
in
may
of
next
year,
we're
still
running
at
these
current
levels
and
that
this
wasn't
a
covert
impact.
This
was
just
we're
we're
not
having
as
many
demands
from
veterans.
G
G
Yeah
because
we
were
when
I
first
arrived,
we're
at
the
half
million
dollar
mark.
We
were
reducing
it
each
year,
based
on
what
you
were
seeing
and
we
got
down
to
320.
We
thought
that
was
the
right
number
and
then
we
saw
this
drop-off
in
20..
We
see
this
drop-off
this
year.
It
may
be
that
that's
the
number.
F
P
Other
than
that,
you
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
you
know
we
we
they
are
submitting
proposals
for
low
income
and
and
affordable
housing
for
veterans,
and
that's
going
to
add
about
300
new
veteran
residents
who
are
going
to
qualify
in
most
cases
for
our
program.
So
even
if
it
does
go
down,
it
will
be
temporary.
F
And
there's
there's
a
couple
of
other
lines
there
that
you'll
you'll
want
to
take
a
look
at
as
well.
Besides
the
veterans
benefits
line,
there's
the
medical
services
line
and
the
veterans
support
services.
Those
those
two
other
smaller
lines-
do
support
veterans
in
different
ways
as
well,
the
medical
with
the
medical
expense
and
dental
expense,
you'll
notice,
the
same
thing
there.
The
trend
is
downward.
We
have
37
000
and
fiscal
20
against
the
two
two
years,
21
and
22
proposed
at
95.
F
K
P
K
P
K
K
K
P
P
K
I'm
only
just
playing
devil's
advocate
here,
because
I
know
we're
talking
about
that.
I'm
just
afraid
that,
even
during
this
past
pandemic,
there
was
veterans
trying
to
get
in
contact
with
you
for
services
and
because
she
was
limited
getting
to
them,
because
you
only
have
a
certain
amount
of
time
in
that
week.
It
just
goes
to
show
again
that
I
think
your
office
is
under
staff
and
we're
not
really
offering
the
service
that
we
fully
can
veterans,
and
I
just
don't
want
to
you
know.
K
G
So
I
think
that's
a
fair
point.
I
guess
taking
that,
and
the
president's
comments
about
there
seems
to
be
more
money
and
benefits
than
you
really
need.
I
do
think
this
year
is
this:
coming
year,
fy
22
the
first
non-coveted
year
that
we'll
have
in
essence
for
a
while
we're
going
to
get
a
sense
as
to
what
is
the
workload
here.
What
is
the?
What
is
the
level
of
service
that
we
need,
and
I
expect
this
budget
will
look
different
when
it's
submitted
to
you
in
fy
23.
with.
G
N
G
M
P
Sure
margarita
was
great.
She
sometimes
would
help
on
certain
projects
you
know
without
with
with
veterans,
so
she
would
know
some
of
the
answers
so
when
veterans
would
commit,
she
was
great
at
supporting
and
they
and
they've
already
sort
of
you
know
attributed
her
to
veteran
services,
because
she,
margarita
franco
yeah.
F
P
P
So
now
that
many
of
the
elder
or
older
veterans
who
got
priced
out
of
the
community
were
replaced
by
many
younger
reservists
who
might
not
need
the
financial
support
side,
but
I'm
still
obligated
to
to
do
their
claim.
So
it
turns
more
like
a
paralegal
situation,
where
you're
coordinating
evidence
from
st
louis
from
the
va
from
their
medical
doctor
here
and
and
their
medical
records
to
put
together
these
cases
and
we've
been
relatively
successful
in
in
getting
disability
claims
for
each
and
every
one.
A
P
A
What
I'm
saying
is
I
I
don't.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
that
the
picture
that
council
robertson
had
that
that
we
may
end
up
having
to
request
the
city
manager
to
have
someone
man,
your
desk,
when
you're
not
there
but
you're
saying
it
is
currently
a
system
in
place.
The
other
employees
that
share
the
same
workspace
that
you
do
do
handle
possible
walk-ins
when
you're
not
at
your
desk
and
they
and
they
take
them.
G
D
D
Or
just
talking
to
them,
because
talking
to
them
ain't
going
to
do
anything
you're
going
to
have
to
help
them
financially.
Is
that
one
of
your
goals?
Are
you
trying
to
get
some
funding
for
these
veterans
that
they
can
go
out
and
try
a
business?
It's
not
just
gonna,
be
where
you're
gonna
talk
to
them
and
say:
well,
we
can
teach
you
how
to
do
it
telling
somebody
without
money
is
doing
nothing.
P
Unfortunately,
that
that
particular
part
of
the
project's
been
placed
on
the
back
burner
a
little
bit
because
we've
been
trying
to
keep
up
with
some
some
of
the
other
priority
issues.
You
know
with
the
state,
reimbursements
and
and
getting
some
of
the
evidence
that
we
need
to
help
out
some
of
the
veterans
who
are
more
in
crisis.
D
What
you're
trying
to
accomplish
is
get
people
to
help
these
veterans
go
to
the
proper
channels
to
get
money
to
start
their
businesses,
like
our
city,
is
not
going
to
contribute.
Your
services
are
not
going
to
contribute
you
ain't.
Looking
like
you
could
access
any
managers.
If
this
would
be
some
type
of
fund
where
we
would
approve
that
or
you
come
to
us.
That
would
help
these
veterans
that
are
starting.
They
want
to
stop
businesses
like.
P
D
D
I
understand
that,
that's
what
I'm
saying
within
your
service
itself.
You
don't
have
any
funds
to
help.
Oh
no,
but
would
you
like
to
get
some
funds
where
the
city
itself
tries
to
help
the
veterans
that
are
from
this
city?
You
know
veterans
that
live
in
our
city
that
are
starting.
They
want
to
stop
businesses
and
the
city
would
try
to
help
him
to
do
something
like
that.
D
It
would
be
a
good
thing
to
try
to
help
the
veterans
that
are
here
not
veterans
from
all
over
the
state,
but
just
veterans
within
this
city
itself
that
are
trying
to
start
a
business
will
come
to
you,
but
right
now
you
ain't
got
no
money.
You
ain't
got
nothing,
but
would
you
like
to
see
something
like
that
you're
proposing
it
here,
but
here
you're
proposing
just
talking
talking
it
doesn't
do
anything
money,
talks,
talk,
don't
talk,
don't
do
nothing.
P
F
D
D
M
D
D
You
have
veteran
benefits
which
is
320
000,
so
the
city
does
provide
money
for
veterans
in
need
of
money,
but
the
city
gets
reimbursed
from
the
state
so
now.
In
other
words,
what
I'm
trying
to
say
is
if
us,
or
one
of
us,
proposes
something
like
that
for
you
right
and
the
state's
not
going
to
fund
you
would
it
be?
Would
it
be
a
good
thing
for
the
veterans
of
the
city
to
have
something
like
that.
A
Council,
I'm
going
to
cut
you
off
because
I'd
like
to
just
focus
on
the
actual
budget
and
what
is
proposed
in
front
of
us
and
it's
not
there
and
not
creating
something
new.
That
is
a
totally
something
it's
a
cr
you're
talking
about
creating
something,
a
new,
a
new
complete
program.
So
I
would
say
to
stick
to
that
to
do
this.
What's
in
front
of
you,
here's.
D
G
What
we're
saying
is
we
didn't
spend
anywhere
near
320
000
last
year,
we've
only
spent
according
to
ed
so
far
through
10
months
about
168
000.
So
there's
a
lot
less
demand
from
veterans
for
this
reimbursable
expense,
part
of
money-
we've
kept
it
at
320
because
we
don't
know
if
there's
some
portion
of
that
is
due
to
the
impacts
of
covid
that
people
aren't
coming
out.
G
D
F
P
P
P
No
well
one
of
the
things
we
have
to
keep
in
mind
is
that
to
be
a
client
of
the
you
know,
chapter
115
services,
you
don't
have
to
be
a
veteran.
You
can
be
a
spouse,
a
widow,
so
those
any
widow
or
spouse
you're
not
eligible
for
va
services.
You
can't
they
just
don't
provide
them.
So
in
most
cases,
they're
widows
that
are
getting
non-va
services,
medical
services.
P
P
G
G
I
did,
I
did
send
the
council,
so
her
budget
is
pretty
straightforward.
It
really
has
not
changed
at
all
from
fy
20
to
fy21
from
fi
21
to
fy,
22
is
proposed,
the
only
change
is
in
salary
and
those
are
contractual.
Salary
increases
the
it's.
The
same
number
of
employees,
same
positions,
the
she
did
send
to
us
and
I
forwarded
to
today.
Her
sort
of
reopening
plan
come
next
week
and
that's
where
she
stands
as
of
june
1..
G
We'll
do
the
same
thing
with
senior
center
there'll
be
some
shifting
starting
next
week,
but
tracy
ned,
and
I
are
going
to
talk
this
week
about
what
exactly
we
do
in
there.
But
this
is
sarah's
plan
come
next
week
I
ned-
or
I
probably
could
answer
any
question
you
have
on
this
budget
but,
as
I
said,
it's
pretty
much
exactly
the
same
budget.
It
has
been
virtually
an
identifical
budget
for
the
last
three
years,
the
only
exception
really
being
the
salary
changes
that
have
kicked
in.
G
N
A
A
S
S
S
Our
youth
programs
we've
increased
about
30
000
la
collaborativa.
The
summer
youth
employment
initiative
is
about
fifteen
thousand,
we're
all
we're
providing
and
also
a
green
roots.
Eco.
The
eco
program
is
five
thousand,
and
then
we
have
also
our
martial
arts
and
dance
programs,
which
is
about
ten
thousand
dollars.
S
S
Sure
for
the
youth
programs,
we
increased
it
by
30
000
the
summer
youth
employment
initiative,
we've
increased
them
fifteen
thousand
dollars
and
also
green
roots,
the
eco
their
youth
program,
eco,
was
five
thousand,
and
then
we
also
wanted
to
have
support
for
our
very
popular
martial
arts
program
and
our
dance
program,
and
that
was
ten
thousand.
It
was
four
thousand
five
hundred
for
martial
arts
and
for
our
dance
programs.
Five
thousand
five
hundred.
D
G
S
We
are
we're
we're
also
we've
had
somebody
in
in
our
billing
department
or
if
billing
she
has
retired,
and
so
that
will
be
called
permitting
and
billing,
and
that
will
be
a
part-time
position
and
we
will
be
hiring
for
that.
We
also
are
going
to
be
needing
to
hire
for
our
program
assistance,
because
many
again
either
have
full-time
jobs,
they
left
for
the
school
department,
retired
and
so
we're
going
to
have
a
busy
summer
hiring
staff
to
come
on.
D
G
G
G
So,
in
the
case
of
la
calabretiva,
we
simply
supplement
the
money
they
get
from
the
state.
They
get
another
chunk
of
money
for
the
state
from
their
program.
We
supplement
that
with
165
000
of
our
own
money.
They
hire
they,
they
get
kids
through
an
application
process,
all
chelsea
youth,
in
fact
the
lottery
for
their
program,
was
just
held
up
here
last
week,
green
roots,
I
don't
know
the
specifics
of
how
they
go
through
this
selection
process.
I
believe
it's
a
similar
application
process
for
green
roots.
G
So
we
previously
would
we're
giving
them
20
000
a
year.
We
bumped
that
up
to
25.
For
this
year
we
were
previously
giving
la
collabrativa
150.
We
bump
that
up
to
165.,
you
have
a
further
proposal
before
you
to
bump
that
up,
even
further,
which
I
believe
is
coming
before
you
on
monday
july
june.
The
7th.
A
G
A
A
M
S
They're
taking
they,
they
have
no
new
framework
that
they're
using
for
youth
employment
and
it's
in
three
tiers.
So
it's
like
the
first
tier
is
for
like
14
to
15
year
olds
and
then
the
second
would
be
16
to
17
and
then
18
to
20.,
but
in
those
tiers
they're
looking
at
they're,
calling
them
interns
and
they're
looking
at
different
types
of
jobs
specifically
for
them.
So
it's
like
one
supervisor
to
12
or
15
student
students
or
interns.
So
it's
it's
really.
S
S
B
S
Well,
they're,
looking
they're
looking
for
placements
right
now
and
you
know
we
we're
going
to
have
tenacity
from
boston,
come
and
they'll
be
at
vogue
park
this
summer,
starting
at
9..
We
would
have
loved
them
to
be
with
us,
but
they
we
needed
only
four
summer
workers
interns
and
they
really
needed
to
place
like
12
to
15.,
so
they're.
Looking
at
you
know,
capacity
is
big
of
where
they're
going
to
place
people.
So
it's
going
to
be
fascinating.
It's
really
different
and
they're
extra
incredible,
capable
women
who
are
going
to
be
overseeing
it.
So.
K
K
K
G
Don't
know
it's
not
a
requirement
of
their
contract
that
they
publicize
that
the
city
is
making
a
policy
decision
to
support
summer
youth.
We
do
it
by
supporting
agencies
that
hire
summer
youth.
So
we
give
money
to
the
collaborative
for
this
purpose
and
we
give
money
to
green
roots
for
this
purpose.
But.
K
S
When
I
was
speaking
about
the
summer,
youth
employment,
I
was
specifically
thinking
of
la
collaborative
and
two
women
working
on
that
and
it's
in
its
short
term
it's
the
summer,
but
I
think
eco
goes
a
little
bit
longer.
It
doesn't
necessarily
just
go
for
the
summer
and
you
know
people
are
working
with
them
there.
So,
yes,
there
are
two
and
I
was
just
focused
on
the
summer
portion.
S
Yes,
with
these
tiers
and
I'm
learning
about
this
too,
this
is
all
brand
new.
With
these
tears,
the
tears
are,
are
the
age
group
and
then
they're
looking
at
you
know
whether
it
will
be
stem
or
will
they
be
working
in
mental
health
or
whether
it
will
be
working
in
you
know
for
finances,
they're,
looking
for
agencies
or
organizations
that
will
take
on
those
amount
of
of
students
and
work
with
them
through
the
summer
and
help
intern
them
and
they're,
making
progress,
they're,
they're,
finding
and
reaching
out.
M
G
G
I
would
say
that
was
probably
two
or
three
years
ago,
you
received
a
direct
letter
because
they
made
that
strong
commitment
to
the
city
and
response
that
concern.
It
is
my
understanding
that
they
have
maintained
that
commitment.
They
put
it
in
writing
to
the
city.
I
can
reaffirm
that
with
them
and
I'm
sure
they'll.
H
K
That
wasn't
my
direction.
My
direction
was
that
the
city
council
vote
for
money.
We
make
appropriations
for
the
summer
youth
programs
in
that.
I
just
think
people
would
understand
it
if
we
still
was
aware
what
was
going
on
and
who
was
being
high,
because
we
all
up
here
want
chelsea
kids
to
be
hired.
K
So
that's
all
we
want
everyone
up
here
wants
chelsea
kids
to
be
hired,
and
if
it's
all,
if
we
get
the
agreement,
everyone's
being
hired
from
chelsea
their
high
school
students,
we
know
that
they
got
good
supervision.
We
believe
in
the
both
of
the
organizations,
but
we
just
need
to
know
that
you
know
these
folks
are
from
chelsea.
Oh.
G
A
They
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
collaborative
was
no
longer
going
to
do
voter
registration,
even
though
they
worked
with
mass
vote
and
has
been
consistent
in
registering
voters.
That
was
something
that
was
asked
by
two
counselors
who
didn't
agree
with
the
politics
or
the
involvement
of
adults
in
that
organization,
and
I
remember
sitting
here
that
night.
A
M
G
Yeah,
I
think
they're
clear
on
both
issues
that
they're
not
engaged
in
that
activity
and
all
of
these
all
of
these
youth
are
chelsea
youth.
They
they
are
clear
that
the
city
of
chelsea
is
not
paying
for
them
to
hire
youth
from
other
communities,
and
I
can
assure
the
council
that
both
are
neither
organization
is
doing
that
they're
all
exclusively
hiring
chelsea
youth.
D
S
Yeah,
that's
a
very
good
question
are
in
order
for
us
to
have
online
registration
and
to
have
a
database
of
all
the
people
that
are
wanting
classes
that
we
we
have.
We
have
pay
a
fee
to
capture
point
community
pass,
that's
our
our
online
registration,
that's
around
4
500
a
year,
and
then
we
also
had
the
zoom
and
an
educational
license
we
needed
in
order
to
be
able
to
do
all
the
remote
programming,
and
so
it
was
an
it's
additional
money
that
was
placed
for
that
it
came
out
to
be
8
500..
F
F
F
G
Last
year
we
had
neglected
to
include
the
salary
of
the
director
of
assessing
last
year,
and
I
had
said
to
you
that
when
and
if
we
hire
a
director
of
assessing
in
the
course
of
fiscal
year
21,
which
was
our
goal,
we
would
have
to
come
to
the
council
for
the
salary
number
it
turned
out.
We
have
never.
We
have
not
yet
been
able
to
hire
a
director
of
assessing
this
year.
We
included
the
full
salary
for
that
position
in
here.
It
is
our
goal
to
hire
a
director
of
assessing.
G
We
are
still
actively
seeking
one,
but
we
certainly
won't
have
one
by
june
30th,
so
this
will
all
be
for
fy22,
but
there
are
no
new
positions
in
this
budget.
It
is
just
that
last
year
we
neglected
to
fund
one
of
the
positions,
so
that
explains
the
large
salary
increase
year
over
year.
Between
fy21
and
fy22,
the
other
changes
jim
can
comment
on
in
the
operating
line
items.
E
E
We
have
an
office
of
currently
three
people
with
one
opening
for
the
director
of
assessing
and
as
tom
had
mentioned,
there
was
obviously
the
only
substantial
increase
in
the
budget
from
last
year.
To
this
year
is
the
inclusion
of
the
director's
salary.
So
everything
else
has
pretty
much
stayed.
The
same.
We've
held
down
the
fort
despite
having
a
not
having
a
director
in
place
and
all
expenditures
stayed
the
same.
We're
able
to
accomplish
our
goals
throughout
the
last
year
being
short-handed
and
during
covert
the
only
real
issue
we
had.
E
A
E
E
A
B
G
It
is
a
very
difficult
position
to
fill.
There
are
at
least
two
other
communities,
probably
more
out
there,
actively
seeking
directors
of
assessor
salem
being
one
of
them
that
I
know
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
I
believe
there's
at
least
two
others.
This
is
a
very
you
know:
narrow
field.
There
aren't
many
people
qualified
to
do
this
work
and
it's
just
difficult
to
find
appropriate
people.
We've
made
two
offers
to
people
who
looked
very
promising
and
at
the
end
they
decided
to
stay
with
their
existing
employers.
G
H
G
Chelsea,
so
I
do
want
to
say
that
we
are,
you
know,
we're
prepared
to
make
sure
this
office
works
and
we
have
so.
We
are
one.
As
you
know,
we
have
hired
an
expert
that
you
funded
to
expressly
look
at
the
336,
odd
four
plus
units
in
the
city
and
to
properly
value
those
multi-unit
residential
buildings.
G
So
we
will
do
that.
We
will
probably
use
some
of
the
contract
services
money.
That's
in
here
to
bring
on
some
other
professional
assistance
to
sort
of
fill
the
gap
of
the
lack
of
a
chief
of
assessing
until
we
find
one.
So
we
will
meet
all
the
requirements
of
this
office.
It
will
just
be
more
of
a
band-aid
effort
until
we
get
a
chief
of
assessing
which
I'm
hoping
we
will
find
during
the
course
of
fy22.
A
G
Really
he's
just
in
the
beginning
stages:
yeah
we
just
we
actually
just
signed
the
contract,
maybe
a
few
weeks
ago,
so
he's
just
getting
started,
but
this
is
a
real
professional
and
he
he's
about
as
good
as
anyone
in
the
commonwealth.
So
I
feel
pretty
confident
he's
confident
he
will
get
the
job
done
in
time
and
so
we're
meeting
with
him
regularly.
G
We
have
at
least
at
least
a
monthly
meeting
to
just
make
sure
he's
staying
on
track
so
so
far
he
seems
to
be
on
track,
but
really
is
just
at
the
beginning
stages
of
doing
this
work
I
just
wanted.
It
was
not.
It
was
overlay
reserved,
I'm
sorry.
What's
up
it
was
overlay
reserve
you
appropriate
the
money
from
for
that
purpose.
Right.
K
Thank
you
thanks
for
being
here,
can
you
tell
I
know
you're
very
young
here?
Can
you
tell
me
if
you
got
a
plan
or
some
goals,
because
this
council
member
body
has
always
questioned
why
our
properties
are
not?
You
know
assessed
up
to
date,
and
how
can
you
remedy
that
like
work
to
get
that
information
to
us
and
also
also
to
the
property?
K
E
That
is
obviously
something
we
looked
at.
The
prior
assessor
had
taken
that
he's,
given
that
this
assignment
right
from
the
beginning,
when
she's
being
when
she
started
so
all
the
residential
properties,
the
the
one
twos
threes
condos,
which
is
about
eighty
percent
of
all
the
properties
in
the
city,
are,
in
my
opinion,
fine.
I
don't
have
any
any
issues
with
them:
we're
not
here
to
over,
assess
people
or
under
assess
people
we're
just
there
to
treat
them
fairly.
E
What
we
have
to
do
in
order
to
get
through
the
red
tape
of
things
that
weren't
done
in
the
past,
we
can't
just
make
drastic
cuts
in
a
cap
rate,
so
we
might
have
to
look
at
changing
the
model
structure
of
our
camera
system,
and
I
spoke
with
the
gentleman
the
other
day.
Essentially
what
this
office
really
needs
to
sit
down.
We
have
an
expert
that
I
know
we're
going
to
talk
to
speak
with
him
he's
been.
E
He
is
yeah,
he's
been
appreciating
for
40
years,
fantastic,
knowledgeable
guy
and
how
we
can
change
the
the
model
structure
of
the
camera
system
to
get
those
changes
in
place.
It's
not
as
simple
as
just
we
know
what
the
values
are.
We
know
what
should
be.
We
know
the
cap
rate
should
be,
but
there
are
department
of
revenue
requirements
we
have
to
follow
and
we
don't
want
to
create
a
frenzy
on
abatements
or
people
saying
my
my
building
went
up.
E
E
There
are
20
openings
for
assessors
and
this
department
of
revenue
is
also
hiring,
so
the
competition
statewide
is
tremendous
to
get
somebody
qualified
and
most
communities
don't
have
assistant
assessors
they'll
have
a
clerk
and
an
assessor,
and
now,
as
all
the
assessors
retiring
around
the
commonwealth,
there's
nobody
to
backfill
in
the
appraisers
that
are
out
there.
They're,
making
good
money
right
now,
they're
not
going
to
come
in
in
an
appraiser.
Like
my
background,
was
appraising.
E
K
E
G
G
Anytime,
anyone's
value
goes
up,
they're,
not
happy,
that's
true,
whether
you're
a
single
family,
homeowner
or
owner
of
a
large
commercial
building.
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
assess
properties
fairly,
as
jim
said,
I
think
we
feel
that
our
condos
ones,
twos
and
threes
are
actually
fairly
assessed.
I'm
not
sure
we
feel
as
confident
with
the
current
assessment
of
some
of
our
multi-families
and
some
of
our
larger
commercial
properties,
and
that's
where
I
committed
to
the
council.
We
would
put
our
attention.
G
E
D
D
G
D
E
That
was
for
a
large
scale
project,
not
a
moment
we
need
to.
As
someone
mentioned,
if
you
get
a
good
director
or
like
this
gentleman
that
I've
been
dealing
with,
I
personally,
I
think
we
with.
If
we
have
the
right
people
in
the
right
places,
we
don't
need
more
people.
We
need
the
competent
people
doing
what
they're
good
at
and
from
there.
E
Again,
you
just
need
the
right
people
who
can
do
that
type
of
work,
this
the
job
itself,
the
principles
and
procedures
of
valuation
haven't
changed
it's
basic
math
and
statistics,
but
the
the
methodology
will
continue
to
change
as
technology
changes
and
we
need
to
leverage
that
there's.
Obviously,
changes
with
personal
property
and
pipeline
valuations,
and
things
like
that.
We
can
leverage
certain
consultants
that
who
can
increase
our
valuations.
E
So
I
think
for
right
now
we
can
hold
down
the
fort
till
we
get
until
we
get
that
director
in
place
and
then
have
a
strat
long-term
strategy
for
the
office
of
getting
the
cap
rates
right
and
once
they're
set.
We
just
need
to
modify
those
every
year.
This
is
a
problem
that
didn't
happen
overnight
and
it's
not
going
to
get
resolved
overnight.
E
I
bought
I
bought
my
condo
in
chelsea
21
years
ago.
I
knew
there
were
issues
back
then,
because
I
was
doing
evaluations
and
I
know
what
I
paid
and
I
know
what
I
was
assessed
at
this
didn't
happen
overnight.
It's
going
to
take
a
little
bit,
but
we
have
identified
the
problems
and
where
they
need
to
be
now.
E
E
We
had
one
gentleman
just
sell
his
whole
portfolio
of
apartments
for
about
30
percent
more
than
he
was
valued
at
and
he's
filing
a
baby.
He
filed
the
abatements
on
those
properties,
so
these
people
who
continue
to
come
to
come
to
the
trough
every
year,
looking
for
a
rebate
looking
for
some
money
back
when
they
know
they
were
undervalued.
So
by
taking
a
strong
stance
on
them,
they'll
eventually
fade
away.
M
E
Yes,
they
they
have
all-
I
shouldn't
say
they
all
have,
but
a
significant
number
of
have
and
that
will
be
ironed
out
with
the
project
that
we
have
in
place.
Now
this
gentleman
will
be
handling
all
the
low
income
tax
credits.
We
have
a
project
in
place
with
alex
trains
group
to
identify
any
type
of
deed
restriction,
low
income,
tax
credit,
any
type
of
property
that
is
non-market
and
what
the
ramifications
or
impacts
and
value
will
be.
M
F
T
Thank
you
so
much
good
evening
again,
my
name
is
steve
staffia.
Those
of
you
that
haven't
met
me
yet
I'm
the
city's
emergency
management
director,
the
office
of
emergency
management
oem
for
short,
has
three
divisions
that
I
oversee
emergency
management,
emergency
communications,
which
is
911
and
fire
alarm
and
telegraph
box
system.
That's
city-wide.
T
T
T
Okay,
that
might
that
might
actually
be
a
typo,
because
some
of
this
description-
that's
in
here
for
accomplishments
and
department,
at
a
glance,
I'm
not
sure
if
some
of
it
actually
made
in
there,
but
it's
supposed
to
be
the
comprehensive
emergency
management
plan.
I
just
met
with
the
state
recently
about
two
weeks
ago
because
we're
due
for
a
city-wide
update
on
our
overall
emergency
management
plan
now
within
that
plan,
is
sheltering
and
so
on.
So
by
the
end
of
this
month,
I'll
have
the
updates
uploaded
to
mema
the
state
agency
for
emergency
management.
T
K
K
F
K
F
K
T
Yeah
I
mean,
as
far
as
the
emergency
management
side
of
the
house,
I'm
a
one-man
band,
so
I
can
only
drive
one
vehicle.
What
was
left
from
previous
administrations
was
more
than
travel
vehicles.
There
was
the
investment
from
1989
of
the
mobile
command
post,
so
equipment
like
that.
We
moved
on
and
a
couple
of
the
vehicles
we
transferred
over
to
other
departments
that
needed
it
more
than
I
did.
Okay.
K
T
H
R
T
That
was
a
joint
effort,
teamwork
with
the
city
of
rivia,
my
counterparts
in
revere,
as
well
as
other
city
partners,
but
that
was
that
was
a
big
challenge
to
get
that
off
the
ground.
There
were
some
struggles
there.
The
state
and
federal
government
saw
one
side
of
it
that
they
had
other
facilities
to
use.
A
A
A
If
you
all
remember,
when
alan
was
our
director
again,
nothing
and
we
had
a
plan
in
place
and
he
was
grooming
somebody
and
then
that
person
left
and
we
decided
to
do
something
again,
despite
the
fact
that
we
don't
have
a
plan
b
or
even
a
training
in
place,
our
salary
is
still
you
know.
Sarah's
account
is
still
up
there.
So
I
can
imagine
that
if
we
were
to
have
a
plan
b
in
place
and
start
to
groom
somebody
you're
talking
now
a
significant
jump.
A
I'm
concerned
a
about
that
that
actuality
and
two
that
the
fact
that
we
don't
have
a
plan
b
in
a
department
that
we
had
problems
with
in
the
past.
I'm
not
saying
that
steve's
going
to
jump
out
and
leave
us
anytime
soon,
but
again
you
know
you
plan
for
the
future.
In
case
something
happens,
you
don't
leave
us
a
community
on
the
lurch.
So
can
you
explain
your
decision
as
to
why
not
to
have
somebody
groomed
or
be
able
to
take
over
in
case.
H
G
Could
have
been
a
position
that
I
proposed
for
fy22,
but
after
talking
with
steve,
he
thought
it
wasn't
his
highest
priority
for
fy22
to
hire
an
assistant,
and
I
guess
I'll
defer
to
him.
I
understand
your
point
that
at
some
in
some
sense
it's
sort
of
my
decision,
but
I
did
confer
with
steve
and
after
talking
with
him
and
realizing
this,
wasn't
he
had
other
priority
trump
y22.
I
decided
not
to
put
that
position
in.
I
agree
with
you.
G
T
T
One
of
the
things
I
needed
to
do
when
I
got
here
over
a
year
ago,
was
to
really
grab
hold
of
the
overall
department
and
reorg,
and
that
reorg
was
extremely
important
so
that
I
had
chain
of
command
and
that
I
had
folks
in
charge
of
the
different
areas
and
just
currently,
as
a
recent
change,
we
made
bringing
over
a
part-time
business
manager,
was
the
last
piece
of
the
puzzle
needed
so
now
that
I
have
supervision
in
the
different
areas
under
me.
Now.
T
F
If
I
could,
if
I
could,
weigh
in
on
this
as
well
as
to
why
the
salaries
are
down
specifically,
you
did
mention
that
the
number
of
positions
has
not
changed.
That's
correct,
but
this
is
one
of
the
departments
where
the
the
collective
bargaining
has
not
has
not
concluded.
So
none
of
the
dispatch
positions
have
increases
from
last
year
to
this
year.
F
Another
factor
is
that
this,
the
53rd
week
component,
that
was
in
last
year's
budget,
that
is
not
in
this
year's
budget
and
it's
more
pronounced
in
some
departments
than
others,
it's
hidden
in
other
departments
or
amassed
in
other
departments,
because
there
are
collective
bargaining
step,
increases
that
that
come
into
play
that
are
higher
than
the
53rd
week
drop
in
this
particular
budget.
That's
not
the
case.
We
do
have
a
couple
of
lead.
Dispatcher
increases
that
occurred,
but
for
the
most
part
the
the
positions
are
the
same
as
they
were
last
year.
G
G
T
Sir,
historically,
when
they
were
in
teamsters,
the
contract
was
actually
cut
from
public
works
and
a
lot
of
those
types
of
clothing
allowance,
for
example,
was
in
there
and
they
negotiated
it
and
to
answer
your
question:
excuse
me:
yes,
they're
required
to
have
some
type
of
sealer
emblem.
We've
settled
on
that
last
year
of
exactly
what
the
uniform
would
look
like
and
they
use
their
clothing
allowance.
They
actually
go
locally
to
crazy
cats.
B
A
G
I
understand
your
point,
I
guess,
being
honest:
there's
no
relationship
between
clothing
allowance
and
what
it
actually
costs
to
buy
clothing.
It's
just
another
way
to
provide
compensation
to
union
employees,
and
so
once
it's
in
that
contract
you're
never
going
to
negotiate
it
down.
It's
just
the
reality
of
the
way
negotiations
are
done.
B
F
F
T
T
F
There
are
several
different
types
of
initiatives
that
they
qualify
for
that
are
overseen
by
the
director.
He
assigns
these
initiatives.
If
they're
able
to
go
through
the
training
modules
that
are
associated
with
that
particular
initiative,
then
they
qualify
for
the
stipend
on
an
annual
basis.
It's
written
in
their
contract.
F
G
F
T
We
do
so
for
personnel,
we
do
and
ramon's
team
is
outstanding,
but
this
particular
line
item,
if
you
will
is
for
all
of
our
computer
equipment,
so
not
only
just
a
traditional
computer
that
they
may
use
for
email.
This
goes
toward
the
radio
system,
computer,
the
fire
alarm
system,
the
computer
rated
dispatch.
T
T
Yeah,
that's
to
be
honest
with
you,
sir.
That's
probably
one
of
the
most
important
line
items
and
we
go
through
that.
You
know
last
year
we
didn't
and
currently
I'm
just
about
to
use
up,
what's
left
of
the
funds,
because
my
responsibility
or
the
responsibility
of
the
overall
department
is
police,
fire
public
works
and
emergency
management,
radio,
and
when
I
and
not
so
much
the
radios,
they
talk
on
the
actual
radio.
A
T
T
No,
I
apologize.
I
apologize.
The
vehicle
maintenance
is
all
of
those
minus
the
gasoline.
I
apologize
now
the
gasoline
what's
important
about
that.
That's
just
not
wax
for
the
vehicle,
that's
also
for
the
generator
that
we
have
so
under
the
emergency
management
side
of
the
house.
I've
got
a
grant
purchased
from
yuasi,
a
very
large
generator
that
obviously
takes
diesel
fuel.
We
use
that,
for
example,
for
three
months
in
a
row
during
the
quality
in
the
covet
housing,
so
so
all
of
those
and
other
smaller
equipment
that
we
have
portable
light
hours
and
stuff.
F
H
F
A
You
are
now
responding
to
taking
greater
responsibility
when
there
are
emergencies
displacements
such
as
fires
and
such
can.
You
talk
about
a
little
bit
about
how
your
role
plays
in
assisting
families
or,
like
I
mean,
or
any
other
victims
of
any
emergencies
that
happen
in
the
city,
because
again,
this
was
something
that
seemed
to
have
been
some
sort
of
conflict
with
prior
emergency
managers
and
what
may
be
happening
now.
T
I
can
that's
a
very
good
question,
so,
just
to
start
at
the
beginning
of
that,
what
I
put
together
when
I
first
got
here,
was
a
matrix
of
the
dispatches
of
what
I
would
be
called
to
for
emergencies,
so
right
off
the
bat
they
know
what
type
of
events
that
I
would
need
to
be
called
back.
So
one
of
those,
for
example,
obviously,
would
be
a
fire
commercial,
a
residential
fire
already
twice
so
far
this
year,
this
past
year,
I'll
say
a
few
months.
T
I've
been
called
back
by
the
dispatcher,
the
on-duty
deputy
chief
for
displacement
issues,
so
one
of
them
happened
to
be
downtown.
Broadway
an
apartment
building
had
a
major
gas
leak,
so
we
had
about
three
families
that
needed
to
be
just
you
know,
place
somewhere
red
cross.
We
notified
kind
of
as
a
standard
procedure
with
an
emergency
management.
There
wasn't
much,
they
really
could
do
with
with
covert
going
on
they
restricted
in
this
particular,
because
it
was
a
small
case.
T
It
was
like
80
a
night,
so
that
was
one
particular
scenario.
Another
one
that
I
got
called
back
for
was
a
few
sundays
ago
when
the
truck
hit
the
building
on
lower
broadway,
and
there
was
folks
displaced
on
that
one.
I
assisted
the
deputy
fire
chief
with
those
displaced
folks,
but
they
didn't
have
to
take
action
on
the
city
end
because
of
the
way
the
condo
association
dealt
with
it.
They
had
actual
funds
to
put
each
other
up,
so
we
just
facilitated
and
helped
them
out.
T
But
yes
answer
your
question
directly
any
of
those
type
of
incidents
that
happen,
whether
they're
going
to
be
displaced
families
sheltering
operation,
you
name
it,
I'm
called.
I
have
a
very
good
relationship
with
both
police
chief
and
fire
chief,
okay
and
there's
no
conflict
at
all.
Chief
albany's,
I
talk
quite
a
bit
about
it.
A
H
A
A
H
H
U
We're
here
this
evening
at
this
late
hour
at
this
point
now,
but
certainly
to
talk
about
the
budget
that
we've
submitted
on
behalf
of
the
city
manager,
to
fund
the
the
programs
that
we
have
to
fund
the
salaries
and
and
other
operational
services.
But
I'm
here
certainly
to
do
my
best
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have
pertaining
to
the
budget
or
any
other
issues
pertaining
to
the
police
department.
G
If
I
could,
I
just
want
to
remind
the
council,
is
that
the
budget
that
you
have
before
you
reflect
salary
increases
for
superior
offices,
their
new
salary
based
on
the
contract.
It
does
not
reflect
raises
for
the
patrol
officers.
They've
approved
the
contract
it'll
be
before
you
on
june
7,
but
it's
not
reflected
in
these
numbers.
Those
increases
are
in
the
salary
reserve,
account.
U
And
in
addition,
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
know
you
guys
know
lydia,
but
lydia
certainly
worked
for
the
city
council
for
many
years
and
has
been
a
incredible
asset
for
us
at
the
police
department
as
the
business
manager
and
grant
administrator,
and
I
certainly
draw
from
her
experience
often
and
she's.
Definitely
like
I
said.
I
know
we
stole
her
from
you.
I
apologize
rory.
I
told
you
this
before,
but
your
losses
are
gained.
So,
while
she's
here
tonight
to
assist
me
as
well.
A
U
So
I
mean
the
staffing
is:
is
the
same
as
the
current
fiscal
year
as
far
as
program?
I
guess
I
might
as
well
programming
I
might
as
well
mention
at
the
outset.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
were
looking
for
in
the
budget
was
to
fund
a
mental
health.
Clinician
honestly,
I
think
it
was
a
year
ago
today.
We
actually
brought
this
up
at
the
budget
hearing
last
year,
and
I
had
mentioned
how
important
I
think
this
position
would
be
is
an
evolving
best
practice.
U
Much
of
what
we
do
in
policing
in
addressing
individuals
that
are
in
crisis
has
to
do
with
people
that
are
in
crisis
because
of
whether
it
be
substance,
use
or
mental
health
issues,
and
I
saw
the
significant
value
I
and
others
that
existed
in
bringing
an
individual
in
for
this
particular
position.
So
I
put
it
in
the
budget
with
a
certain
dollar
amount,
but
what
I,
what
I
also
did
is
applied
for
funding
through
the
state
for
a
grant,
and
we
are
optimistic
that
we
will
receive
funding
and
I
will
not
need.
U
H
U
U
What
we
do
matter
of
fact
the
money
will
be
coming
from
when
I
say
the
state
will
be
coming
from
the
department
of
mental
health.
We
rely
on
them
now
for
grant
funding
for
training
our
training,
our
offices
in
different
types
of
training
called
one
of
them
called
mental
health.
First
aid,
which
is
an
eight-hour
training.
The
whole
department
receives,
but
more
specifically,
something
known
as
a
crisis
intervention
training,
which
is
a
pretty
substantial
training
of
40
hours.
The
state
pays
for
that.
U
A
Okay,
you
look
at
the
department
at
a
glance,
paragraph
and,
of
course,
you're
seeing
the
changes
that
calls
for
service
total
arrests.
All
of
that
dropping
and
some
would
say
that
it's
both
a
reflection
of
covid
but
also
has
been
a
trend
not
only
locally
but
maybe
nationally,
a
drop
in
crime.
Would
you,
but
specifically
one
that
is
came
to
my
attention
was
the
motor
vehicle
accidents.
A
A
Obviously
there
was
a
lot
less
traffic
going
on
less
people
around,
but
could
you
make
a
statement
that
it's
anything
other
than
that
and
that
that
basically,
the
streets
of
chelsea
are
and
the
configurations
out
of
which
they
are,
but
once
we
get
back
to
regular
traffic
patterns,
regular
traffic
counts.
However,
those
accidents
will
once
again
occur,
or
do
you
think
something
happened
other
than
that
yeah.
U
Well,
a
great
question
and
because
there
is
a
significant
decrease
as
you
as
you,
you
pointed
out
pretty
much
the
numbers
over
the
past
five
years
were
fairly
consistent.
I
would
say
I
mean
you
mentioned
it
and
I
would
just
kind
of
back
up
what
you
said.
I
think
certainly
the
the
number
of
motor
vehicles
motor
vehicle
traffic
in
general
over
the
course
of
the
the
past
12
months
has
been
significantly
less,
certainly
going
back
to
mid-march
throughout
the
course
of
the
summer
and
into
the
fall
just
in
general.
U
I
mean
I'll,
be
honest
with
you
and
just
traveling
around
recently
in
the
past,
like
two
weeks,
traffic
has
just
come
out
of
nowhere
and
then,
prior
to
that,
you
know
you
could
go
wherever
you're
going
to
go
any
one
of
us
pretty
much.
All
the
major
thoroughfares,
including
the
streets
in
chelsea,
were
pretty
wide
open,
so
yeah.
I
think
it
was
just
a
direct
reflection
of
less
motor
vehicle
traffic
on
the
road.
U
Certainly,
you
know
some
of
the
proactive
steps
that
have
been
taken
over
the
years-
and
I
think
I
might
have
talked
about
this
in
the
past,
but
I'll
bring
it
up
again,
one
of
the
the
most
dangerous
intersections
that
we
have
and
we,
I
think
we
all
know
one
of
them.
We
talked
about
broadway
in
congress.
Broadway
and
third
has
been
a
problem
for
a
number
of
years,
but
even
the
top
of
park
street
at
the
intersection
of
hawthorne
and
central.
U
That
has
always
been
a
problem,
at
least
for
motor
vehicle
accidents
pertaining
to
pedestrians
and
what
we
did
some
years
ago
and
it's
reflected
in
in
the
the
overall
data.
The
number
of
pedestrians
that
have
been
struck
by
a
motor
vehicle
at
that
location
have
gone
down
to
zero
when
it
was
as
high
as
15.
At
one
point
in
time,
we
did
a
lot
to
eliminate
traffic
from
cars
from
being
parked
on
the
left-hand
side
of
the
road
clearer
signage
in
that
area.
U
U
So
that's
kind
of
an
example,
one
example
of
some
of
the
measures
that
we've
taken
collectively
with
our
dpw
with
other
partners
to
ensure
that
when
we
find
a
problem,
what
we
perceive
to
be
a
recurring
problem
pertaining
to
traffic.
We
take
proactive
steps
to
address
it,
and
then
we
certainly
measure
the
data
over
periods
of
time
and
we
see
a
reduction.
And
we
know
that
it's
working.
A
I
have
seen
a
backup
of
traffic
on
everedav
from
km
all
the
way
to
the
intersection
of
broadway,
and
this
is
not
because,
due
to
a
bridge
being
up
or
whatever,
which
you
would
expect,
but
no
just
all
of
a
sudden
that
street
has
been
narrowed
and
I
know
there
are
other
streets
that
have
been
narrow,
the
mentality,
I'm
afraid
of,
and
I've
spoken.
You
know
kiddingly
to
colleagues
and
to
other
people.
It's
like
you
know,
I'm
not
used
to
seeing
this.
You
know
I'm
gonna
have
to
start
jumping
over.
A
You
know
down
second
street,
because
I
know
the
streets
of
chelsea.
I
know
which
streets
I
normally
can
just
go
up
over
to
have
no
problem,
but
now
that
I
see
that
this
traffic
leads
me
to
start
using
the
secondary
streets
and
also
like
many
I'm,
you
know
I'm
not
the
coolest
head,
but
I
also
a
level
of
frustration.
A
I
think
now
that
we
have
all
these
new
configurations
we're
going
to
lead
to
road
rage
incidents
and
such
so,
I
would
just
say:
maybe
have
your
staff
pay
attention
because
we
may
end
up
seeing
a
lot
of
this
speeding
on
the
sideways
and
they
may
end
up
having
a
fatality,
hopefully
not
a
pedestrian
one,
but
because
there's
the
the
backups
are
starting
to
occur.
So
I
would
just
you
know,
bring
that
to
your
attention.
No
fair
point
and.
U
Like
I
say,
I
mean
we're
all
out
there,
we're
all
traveling
in
the
last
we'll
call
it
the
last
month.
Traffic
everywhere
has
definitely
increased.
I
think,
even
with
the
the
governor
making
certain
announcements
as
far
as
scaling
back
on
some
of
the
restrictions
and
so
forth,
people
are
just
coming
out
of
every
location
and
we're
seeing
it
you
know,
being
in
the
inner
city
and
being
a
cut
through
to
boston,
absolutely
positively.
Second,
street
everett
avenue
they're
definitely
backing
up.
A
You're
you
yourself,
after
many
years
of
experience
as
a
police
officer,
but
also
your
your
men.
You
know
that
a
normal
summer
always
brings
out
a
certain
exuberance
amongst
human
behavior
sure,
because
it's
the
better
months
and
then
afterwards,
you
know
most
police
officers,
say
thank
god
summer's
over.
We
can
get
back
down
to
you,
know
normal,
because
it's
just
everyone
wants
to
go
out.
Obviously,
this
summer
is
going
to
be
quite
more
emphatic
because
everybody
collectively
society
was
cooped
up
and
I
fully
explo.
A
K
K
K
For
some
reason
they
still
stand
still
when
fire
trucks
are
getting
by-
and
I
I
know
the
maintaining
of
the
street
will
be
our
responsibility,
but
we
also
foresee
a
lot
of
speeding
a
lot
of
traffic,
a
lot
of
cutting
through
going
over
the
bridge
coming
from
east
boston
coming
from
winter.
So
we
just
want
you
to
have
that
on
your
radar.
I'm
not
sure.
Maybe
the
city
manager
can
tell
you
exactly
what
date
or
what
time
of
year
we'll
be
taking
full
responsibility
to
that.
K
U
I
know
I
mean
I
know
I'm
preaching
to
the
choir
in
this,
but
certainly
eastern
avenue
has
always
been
a
quasi
city
street.
I
mean
you
know:
chelsea,
police
and
we've
always
obviously
patrolled
easton
avenue,
but
I
know
it's
been
a
quote-unquote
state
highway
for
purposes
of
of
certain
accidents.
The
state
would
come,
the
state
never
patrols
eastern
half
like
they
never
have
ever
other
than
passing
through,
but
yeah.
Of
course,
we
will
definitely.
U
U
Currently,
have
our
three
offices
in
the
academy
scheduled
to
graduate
the
randolph
academy
on
august
5th,
and
you
know
the
sooner
we
get
them
the
better.
Certainly
we
have
four
offices.
Well,
we
have
four
seats
that
were
slated
for
the
transit
academy
in
mid-july
are
subject
to
certain
qualifications
that
these
individuals
have
to
go
through.
U
U
U
U
What
we
want
to
be
able
to
do
in
chelsea
is
demonstrate
that
we
are
truly
ahead
of
the
curve
on
any
in
all
certification
and
accreditation,
so
we're
looking
to
be
accredited
on
a
national
level.
Right
now
we
have
a
handful
of
in
the
state
there's
a
handful
of
departments
that
are
accredited
by
an
organization
known
as
kalia
the
commission
of
accredited
law
enforcement
agencies,
a
national
organization.
This
is
something
that,
based
on
the
the
policies
that
we
have
right
now,
something
that
is
within
our
grasp
to
attain.
U
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
find
a
way
to
mitigate,
potentially
or
possibly
mitigate
that
number
and
look
for
the
lack
of
a
better
term,
a
better,
a
bit
of
a
discount
which
may
be
available
to
certain
cities
of
our
of
our
size,
based
on
what
happened
with
the
loss
of
revenues
in
in
various
cities
like
chelsea
and
we'll
see,
if
we
can,
we
can
work
something
out,
but
if
not,
that
is
that
number
of
reflect
is
reflected
in
the
budget
is
in
fact
a
fee.
So
that's
what
that's?
Why
there's
such
a
bump.
B
A
L
U
Explain
what
they
are
student
offices
yeah.
So
it's
a
it's
a
statutory
designation
of
office
of
individuals
when
an
individual
is
attending
the
police
academy,
they're
known
by
statute
as
student
offices-
that's
their
designation
that
once
they
graduate
they
will
be
sworn
in
in
the
city,
manager's
office
and
then
ceremonially
at
some
point
before
the
city
council.
They
become
full-fledged
permanent
police
officers,
but
right
now,
during
the
course
of
their
21
22
weeks
in
the
academy,
their
official
designation
is
called
the
student
office.
So.
A
Pushed
forward
the
new
new
fireworks
code,
you
know
the
violation
and
with
that
a
fine
talking
about
the
early
mention
of
the
exuberance
that
we
expect
to
have
sure
and
what
we
possibly
will
have
is
another
summer
full
of
people
who
may
be
you
know
wanted
to
play
around
with
fireworks.
If
I
read
social
media
with
the
announcement
today
at
social
media
or
on
the
sleep
page,
there
was
a
lot
of
scrutiny
and
cynicism
by
residents.
A
Thinking
that
there
really
isn't
going
to
be
any
sort
of
enforcement
noticeable
in
florida's
enforcement
by
the
police
officers.
You
know,
can
you
touch
upon
that
to
say
that
knowing
there's
gonna
be
some
exuberance,
knowing
that
there
was
a
lot
of
criticism
about
the
level
of
fireworks
that
were
put
off
last
year
and
hopefully
not
repetitive
this
year-
that
this
may
be
something
that
your
department
is
already
aware
of
and
is
ready
to
address
so.
U
Nobody
was
more
frustrated
with
the
fireworks,
certainly
the
residents
and
trying
to
sleep
at
night,
obviously,
but
the
police
officers
that
were
out
there
working
day
and
night
and
obviously
mostly
into
the
overnight
hours
than
the
police
officers
having
to
respond
to
these
calls.
We
had
many
areas
of
the
city
that
were
impacted
and
council.
Taylor
remembers,
as
we
were,
talking
talk
about
beau
park
and
keeping
the
lights
on
at
night,
assigning
offices
to
various
locations
to
to
make
sure
that
individuals
were
congregating
and
lighting
off
fireworks
and
doing
different
things.
It
was.
U
U
Officers
are
responding
to
calls
because
neighbors
are
upset,
they
can't
sleep
officers.
Are
there
not
to
harass
people
for
having
a
good
time
but
saying
listen.
This
is
illegal
and
we
can
find
you.
We
don't
necessarily
want
to
find
you
you're
residents
of
our
city,
but
you
know
you
can't
be
doing
this
and
there
was
a
lot
of
phones
that
came
out
a
lot
of
recording
of
police
officers
trying
to
do
their
job
a
lot
of
pushback,
I'm
hoping
that
that
and
again
it
was
very
challenging
and
difficult
times.
U
Last
summer,
I'm
hoping
that
doesn't
happen
again.
Certainly
I'm
aware
that
the
fines
being
increased.
We
always
want
to
utilize
fines,
as
we
can
imagine
as
a
last
resort.
We
don't
want
to
run
around
with
ticket
books
and
just
kind
of
write
our
tickets
till
they're
going
out
of
style,
but
that
is
something
we're
certainly
prepared
to
do,
and
I
know
that
I
believe
the
first
offense
now
is
a
monetary
fine,
as
opposed
to
to
a
warning.
You
know
we're
gonna,
utilize
discretion
within
reason.
U
Certainly,
but
this
is
this
is
serious:
it's
not
just
chelsea,
it's
it's
all
over.
Certainly,
I
know
that
the
fireworks
have
started
where
I
live
already,
and
I
have
two
little
dogs
and
you
know
believe
me:
it's
tough
to
get
a
night's
sleep
with
fireworks
going
off
at
three
o'clock
in
the
morning,
but
we
will
do
our
best.
We
will
do
adonis.
We
will
definitely
take
this
extremely
serious.
U
We
do
other
things
as
far
as
even
not
just
that
night,
responding
to
a
call
and
the
city
manager
is
well
aware
of
this,
and
as
of
some
of
you
certainly
reaching
out
to
me,
we'll
get
these
locations.
We
have
residents
that
are
very
interested.
Very
engaged.
They'll
give
us
addresses
where
these
fireworks
are
apparently
coming
from
we'll
knock
on
doors
during
the
daytime
hours.
U
Where
cooler
heads
will
prevail.
Hopefully
we
can
explain
to
people
what
the
problem
is
and
we
have
someone
I'll
call
out
and
give
kudos
to
someone
like
sami
mohika,
who
does
a
phenomenal
job
in
engaging
and
using
his
conflict
intervention
skills
to
kind
of
broach
these
areas
with
the
folks
and
really
try
to
come
to
some
agreement,
and-
and
hopefully
this
year,
as
we
approach
july,
4th
will
be
nothing
like.
A
U
Always
and
that's
why
I
mean
the
short
spot
of
technology
and
it
is
fairly
accurate,
but
there
have
been
times
when
it's
kind
of
a
long
story,
but
there
have
been
times
when
things
were
were
were
held
back
because
they
were
classified
as
fireworks,
and
it
got
to
the
point
where,
unless
it
was
incredibly
obvious,
I
said,
give
us
all
the
alerts.
Let
us
determine
on
scene
whether
in
fact,
this
fireworks
not
to
mention
it's
it's
it's
a
good
thing.
U
If
no
residents
call
for
fireworks,
we're
getting
a
short
spotter
alert
and
a
given
location
that
there's
a
loud
noise
sounds
like
gunfire
could
be
an
m80
could
be
other
fireworks.
Let
us
investigate,
let
us
hold
those
accountable
that
are
responsible
and
stop
so
yeah.
We
always
especially
july
4th.
It's
almost
like
the
the
short
spot
of
technology
in
many
parts
of
the
country
is
is
turned
off
because
it's
fireworks
as
opposed
to
gunfire,
but
certainly
it
could
be
that
fight.
I
say
that
facetiously,
but
we
we
yeah.
U
J
J
I
think
reassured
by
the
city
that
this
is
that
something
different
is
going
to
happen
than
than
what's
happened
in
the
past,
because
the
vast
majority
of
people
that
I
talk
to
are
very
skeptical
and
and
and
and
it's
like.
I
think
that
if
we
can,
you
know
if
we
really
want
to
change
something.
I
think
I
think
we
should
change
it
or
try
to
change
it,
and
I
know
that
not
everything
is
necessarily
changeable.
J
There's
other
you
know
you
guys
have
other
fish
to
fry.
I
get
it,
but,
but
when
so
many
people
are
affected
by
this,
and
so
many
people
can't
sleep
and
you
know
they're
whatever
we've
gone
through
the
litany
of
of
problems
that
this
has
caused,
but
you
know
it's
something
that
most
people
can
relate
to
and
it
bugs
them
and
and
and
that
and
that
you
know
that
a
few
people
in
the
city
feel
entitled
to
do
this.
It's
not
fair
to
the
vast
majority
of
you
know,
hard-working.
J
You
know
people
who
just
want
to
get
a
good
night's
sleep,
so
they
can
go
to
work
in
the
morning
and
pay
their
bills.
So
you
know
I
would
just
put
that
out
there
for
you
guys.
I
I
have
every
confidence
that
you
guys
are
going
to
do.
Do
everything
that
you
can,
but
I'm
just
giving
you
a
heads
up
as
to
what's
out
there.
So
you.
U
Know
just
to
respond
or
to
speak
on
that,
so
I
I
mentioned
a
bit
already,
but
you
and
I
we
had
quite
a
few
conversations
last
year
on
this
issue.
I
know
that
we
know
that
you
know
fireworks
certainly
were
not
unique
to
chelsea
meaning
this
was
this
was
all
over.
I
mean
it
was
the
cover
of
the
globe
the
cover
the
herald.
I
forget
the
exact
headline,
but
it
was.
It
was
crazy.
U
All
over
it
was
all
the
media
stations,
the
city
manager,
and
I-
and
I
know
director
staff
here
was
just
in
here-
we've
met
on
this
already.
The
city
manager
was
very
specific.
It
probably
came
up
in
the
previous
hearing,
I'm
not
sure,
but
for
every
single
call
of
a
firework
that
is
ignited
that
comes
in
for
dispatch
to
give
them
all
out
to
the
police,
you're
not
doing
anyone
any
any
favors
by
holding
back
and
say.
Well,
it's
just
fireworks.
U
I
mean,
obviously
it's
that
much
of
a
of
a
nuisance,
certainly
and
again,
I'm
I'm
hoping
so
they
would
around
here
knock
on
wood.
That
last
year
was
an
anonymous
anomaly.
As
far
as
the
the
level
of
fireworks
that
were
generated
around
the
commonwealth,
but
it
is,
you
know
it's
a
it's
a
quality
of
life
issue,
you
know,
we
all
need
sleep,
you
know,
and
and
and
certainly
not
to
mention.
If
the
fire
chief
was
there
he'd
say
well,
chief,
don't
forget
these
things,
cause
fires
and
they
can
burn
down.
U
Neighborhoods
and
people
can
get
hurt,
really
bad.
So
it
is
a
you
know,
it's
a
nuisance,
certainly,
but
it's
also
a
public
safety
issue,
one
that
we
will.
Certainly
you
have.
My
word
continue
to
take
very
very
seriously
and
again
I
mentioned
it
already,
but
I'll
definitely
work
with
all
of
you
with
any
continuing
suggestions
that
you
might
have,
and
I
want
to
certainly
assure
the
residents
that
are
skeptical,
that
this
will
be.
U
Certainly
during
this
time
of
the
years
when
it
happens,
one
of
our
number
one
priorities:
there
is
a
new
ordinance.
There
is
a
substantial
fine.
They
will
be
imposed
to
those
that
violate
the
law.
Folks,
that
are
that
are
skeptical.
I
mean
you
know
I
could
be
a
little
bit
defensive
and
say
based
on
what,
but
I
won't
I'll
just
say
that
we
will
we
will.
I
will
assure
the
residents
that
we
will
continue
to
work
on
this
issue,
to
make
it
as
quiet
as
we
possibly
can.
G
I'll
just
reiterate
I
mean
I've
had
conversations
with
the
chief
and
with
steve
staffia
that
this
is
going
to
be
taken
seriously.
I
expect
every
dispatch
call
to
every
call
to
dispatch
to
be
sent
to
the
police
and
if
we
get
reports
that
a
car
was
made,
the
police
weren't
notified
I'm
going
to
follow
up
on
that
with
dispatch,
and
there
will
be
discipline.
Issues
dispatches
are
have
been
steve's,
been
instructed
to
inform
all
e91
dispatchers
that
every
call
for
fireworks
is
going
to
be
sent
to
the
police
department
for
a
response.
G
Now
I
imagine
there
will
be
instances
where,
as
a
response
is
delayed
because
the
police
are
engaged
in,
you
know
higher
priority
responses,
but
they
are
to
get
every
call
so
that
I
can
track.
You
know
if
there
was
a
delay
we'll
be
able
to
track.
Why
was
there
a
delay?
Okay,
every
car
with
every
car
was
tied
up
and
another
serious
situation
understood,
but
where
you
know,
the
message
has
been
sent
to
both
departments
that
this
is
to
be
taken
seriously.
I
certainly
hope
that
this
is
a
better
year
than
last
year.
U
And
I
I
just
wanted
one
other
comment:
I'd
be
remiss.
I
know
there
was
a
public
safety
subcommittee
meeting
that
was
was
called
and
I
was
not
in
attendance
and
I
had
a
resident
that
I
deal
a
lot
with
and
it's
very
engaged
and
she
said
she
was
very
nice
but
said
chief,
I'm
very
disappointed
that
you
were
not
there
and
I
I
was
kind
of
notified
last
minute
and
I
did
have
an
engagement
over
at
bunker
hill
community
college.
K
You
know
we
initially
in
our
subcommittee.
We
also
wanted
to
do
some
some
education
about
just
you
know
letting
folks
know
and
how
serious
this
was
going
to
be
handled,
and
this
was
going
to
be
a
priority,
but
I
also
spread
the
news
that
you
know.
Sammy
mohic
is
always
available
once
we
get
those
numbers
and
names
of
some
of
those
residents
that
will
want
to
help
out,
please
let
the
police
handle
it.
H
K
And
we
haven't
heard
too
much
of
it,
but
you
know
it's
still
early
so,
but
you
know,
but
just
want
to
know
the
residents
to
know
if
they're
watching
that
we
do
have
a
communication
person
sammy
mohica.
He
would
actually
come
to
your
house
and
talk
to
you
and
keep
you
out
of
the
picture
and
deal
with
those
addresses
that
you
give
him
furnish
him
where
you
believe
some
of
the
activities.
