A
G
He's
a
great
person,
a
wonderful
woman
when
I
first
moved
to
chelsea,
moved
on
murray's
feet,
which
was
right
around
the
corner
from
where
he
lives
at
still
to
this
day
a
great
dedicated
public
service.
I
just
wanted
to
say
happy
birthday
to
her
wish
her
all
the
best
on
this
year.
She
celebrate
her
100th
year
of
living.
G
She
was
very
active
in
the
city
when
she
was
out
there
on
the
ballot.
She
would
be
out
there.
She
would
be
at
celebrations
here.
I
remember
her
coming
out
for
johnny
ruiz
when
he
won
the
heavyweight
champion
of
the
world.
We
were
all
out
here
in
front
of
city
hall
and
she
was
out
there
just
just
a
cheerleader
for
everyone,
so
she
was
all
about
chelsea.
G
I
remember
all
her
energy,
her
excitement
about
chelsea
and
I'm
just
so
happy
for
her
family
and
wish
them
all
the
best
that
they
celebrate
this
year.
I
hope
they
have
a
better
days
ahead
of
them
where
they
can
get
her
out.
Take
her
out
to
one
of
her
favorite
places
where
she
can
just
enjoy
for
a
few
hours
and
just
have
a
great
time.
Happy
birthday.
E
Thank
you
very
much.
I
know
you're
not
supposed
to
do
this,
but
I
really
appreciate
it.
All
I
can
say
is
liz.
Mcbride
was
a
mother
to
every
student
in
the
city
of
chelsea.
She
was
there
for
all
the
kids.
I
served
with
her
for
17
years
on
the
chelsea
school
committee
and
liz
was
there
because
she
wanted
to
be
there.
She
wanted
to
take
care
of
the
kids,
make
sure
they
got
an
education.
She
was
an
advocate
for
pto.
She
was
an
advocate
for
making
sure
the
lunches
were
getting.
E
The
kids
were
getting
the
right
lunches
and
she
was
a
special
lady
and
I
am
proud
to
say
that
I
am
a
neighbor
hers
and
I
grew
up
with
her
children.
She
was
a
wonderful
mother
and
her
and
john
brought
up
the
children
in
a
special
way.
She
told
them
to
respect
people
and
respect
everyone
that
you
get
involved
with
and
happy
birthday
liz.
I
love
you.
A
I
Hey
thank
you
roy,
and
I
just
want
everyone
to
know
how
incredibly
touched
moved.
I
was
with
the
josh
craft
way.
Really
my
daughters
were
with
me.
It
was
really
emotional.
I
mean
I
always
say
that
after
my
family,
the
most
important
people
and
voices
to
me
in
the
world
is
chelsea
and
all
the
great
people.
I
met
there
like
liz,
mcbride,
happy
birthday,
liz,
that's
awesome
man,
but
I
saw
the
meeting
and
you
know
leo
calvin
and
mr
recupero
and
council
video.
I
I
A
If
there's
anyone
on
public
speaking
not
having
to
do
with
the
zoning
at
all,
just
public
speaking,
if
there's
anyone
here
that
would
like
to
address
us
on
that,
if
not,
we
will
now
go
back
to
our
number
four
item
on
the
agenda,
which
is
the
public
hearing.
This
is
a
public
hearing
in
regards
to
the
proposed
zoning
amendments
that
will
be
on
tonight's
agenda.
If
you
have
any
comments
to
say
in
regards
to
the
zoning
amendments,
please
step
up
to
the
microphone
and
state
your
name,
your
address.
You
will
have
four
minutes.
J
Mr
president,
thank
you,
versino
city
manager,
I'll,
be
very
brief
because
I
know
there
are
many
speakers
here.
I
just
want
to
go
on
record
as
saying
I'm,
certainly
in
favor
of
this
package
of
zoning
amendments,
many
of
which
we
submitted,
they
all
advance
important
interests
of
the
city.
They
were
tweaked
a
bit
by
the
planning
board
and
we
are
perfectly
comfortable
with
those
changes
that
the
planning
board
has
recommended
to
you.
J
J
There
are
sort
of
the
package
of
housing
changes
that
I
propose
to
increase
density
and
what
I
hope
would
get
at
an
opportunity
to
increase
some
housing
opportunity
in
the
city,
which
I
do
consider
the
number
one
challenge
facing
us
in
the
next
in
the
years
ahead
and
then
there's
a
final
small
group
of
changes
to
our
marijuana
regulations,
which
will
open
up
that
industry
in
a
more
equitable
way
to
what
I
hope
would
be
some
minority
businesses
in
the
community.
So
I
just
with
that
said,
urge
you
to
consider
approval
of
the
entire
package.
K
K
L
L
And
monahan
at
nine
bosons
way
at
emeralds
hill,
chelsea,
okay,
and
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions
one
week.
They
both
regard
the
zoning
that's
being
proposed
for
marijuana,
marijuana
delivery,
only
business
in
the
naval,
air
hospital
area
where
I
reside
and
I'd
like
to
know,
was
there
a
mandate,
and
I
know
it
was
voted
on
in
216,
as
was
explained
to
me,
I
also
was
told
there
was
a
relatively
s
margin,
very
small
margin
in
terms
of
the
pros
and
the
negatives.
L
So
I'm
asking
the
council
whether
there
was
a
mandate
to
change
the
zoning
in
the
residence
community
to
delivery
only
to
allow
delivery.
Only
marijuana
question
number
two
is,
I
know,
there's
great
concern
regarding
I
shouldn't
say:
there's
great
concern,
I
believe,
there's
some
concern
or
some
priority
when
you
do
a
retail
business
relating
to
security
security.
What
what?
What
are
we
doing
to
ensure
the
security
of
the
business
and
there's
obviously
reasons
for
that?
L
A
A
I'm
sure
that
we'll
be
willing
to
any
member
here
will
be
willing
to
send
out
an
email
or
respond
directly
or
maybe
the
city
manager.
If
you
wanted
to
reach
out
to
city
manager
to
by
email,
he
can
explain
to
you,
along
with
the
assistance
from
our
city
solicitor.
As
to
those
issues
that
you
raised
and
what
is
in
resp
to
those
questions
would
like
anyone
else
like
to
speak
in
public
speaking
portion.
A
A
Counselor
garcia
makes
a
motion
to
adopt,
accept
and
file
the
minutes
of
our
last
meeting
under
suspension.
Seeing
no
objection
so
moved.
We
now
have
a
communication
from
our
city
manager
in
regards
to
municipal
electric
aggression,
dear
counselors,
I
am
writing
to
request
formal
city
council
approval
to
submit
the
city's
municipal
electric
aggregation
plan
to
the
department
of
public
utilities
dpu
for
approval.
As
you
may
recall,
the
city's
plan,
known
as
the
chelsea
electric
choice,
optional
retrica,
the
chelsea,
was
subject
to
a
public
hearing
and
public
comment
period.
A
Although
the
city
received
no
formal
comments,
public
reaction
was
generally
positive.
Following
the
public
hearing
and
comment
period,
the
plan
was
submitted
to
the
department
of
energy
resources
doer
for
its
review
on
commentary.
The
process
has
been
completed
to
the
satisfaction
of
doer.
A
copy
of
the
letter
of
january
27th
2021
dor
letter
is
attached.
With
do
our
consultation
completed.
The
plan
is
now
ready
for
final
submission
to
dpu.
A
I
have
previously
promised
that
the
city
council
had
final
say
before
the
submission.
I
am
now
requesting
authorization
to
make
that
submission.
The
full
plan
is
available
on
the
dpw's
page
of
the
city
of
chelsea's
website
and,
though,
and
through
the
publicly
at
available
site,
chelsea
electricity
citychoice.com.
A
Let
me
once
again
review
the
process
that
remains
before
implementation.
Assuming
the
council
approves
the
submission
to
dpu,
it
may
take
as
much
as
six
months
for
dpu
to
approve
the
plan
following
the
dpu
approval.
The
city
will
then,
through
a
formal
rfp
process,
solicit
competitive
bids
for
a
municipal
electric
supplier.
A
Once
the
new
electric
supply
is
selected
and
the
contracts
executed,
then
the
city
will
notify
by
mail
all
members
of
the
community
who
have
ever
sources
basic
service,
meaning
that
they
have
not
signed
a
contract
with
a
different
electricity
supplier
that
they'll
they
are
eligible
for
automatic
enrollment.
In
the
city's
new
plan,
the
letter
will
include
information
about
program
prices,
program
options
and
current
ever
source
basic
services
prices,
customer
rights
within
the
program
and
a
required
disclaimer
that
savings
cannot
be
guaranteed.
A
A
A
Council
robinson
asked
that
we
accept
and
file
the
communication.
We
have
something
under
new
business.
Seeing
no
objection,
we
have
the
next
communication
from
city
manager
regards
to
mass
save
municipal
partnership
grants.
I
am
writing
with
another
request
to
this
grant
to
accept
a
grant
this
time
it
is
a
municipal
partnership
grant
through
mass
save
funded
by
eversource
and
national
grid.
Copies
of
the
copies
of
the
grant
documents
are
attached.
The
grant
has
a
maximum
value
of
twenty
five
thousand
dollars,
depending
upon
participation,
grant
will
be
managed
by
the
department
of
public
works.
A
The
purpose
of
the
grant
is
to
raise
awareness
and
increase
participation
in
mass,
save
energy
programs
in
environmental
justice.
Communities
like
chelsea
due
to
the
barriers
such
as
language,
high
rate
of
renter
occupied
units
and
lack
of
public
education
communities
like
chelsea,
have
historically
under
participated
in
mass,
safe
energy
efficiency
programs.
A
These
programs
are
largely
free
for
to
our
residents,
but
can
make
significant
improvements
in
to
energy
efficiency
and
can
lead
to
a
reduction
in
utility
bills.
This
is
the
second
year
that
the
city
of
chelsea
had
been
awarded
the
municipal
partnership
grant
with
the
2020
grant.
The
dbw
was
able
to
significa
significantly
increase
participation
in
energy
efficiency
programs
and
achieves
most
of
its
targets
established
by
eversource
and
national
grid.
A
Tbw
is
ready
to
take
on
similar
challenge
with
the
2021
municipal
partnership,
grant
the
grant
funding
provides
salary
for
an
intern
to
oversee
the
program
and
covers
the
cost
of
printing
mailing
and
marketing
materials.
At
this
time,
I
respectfully
ask
the
city
council,
accept
the
2021
municipal
partnership,
grant
a
draft
order,
for
that
purpose
is
attached.
What
is
the
wish
of
the
council
accept.
C
This
grant
to
address
the
local
impacts
of
cover.
19
is
specifically
intended
to
fund
two
programs:
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
chelsea
housing
legal
aid
bureau
to
maintain
its
operations
for
the
next
12
to
18
months
and
200
000
for
the
chelsea
eats
program.
A
copy
of
the
award
letter
is
attached
in
accordance
with
massachusetts,
general
law,
chapter
44
and
53a.
C
F
C
C
Naturally,
this
funding
will
be
limited
to
support
funerals
only
for
those
families
unable
to
make
such
payments
due
to
the
economic
impacts
from
covert.
There
is
some
work
that
the
city
must
do
to
ensure
their
support
is
in
compliance
with
the
massachusetts
procurement
laws
most
likely.
We
will
handle
this
by
contracting
directly
with
a
funeral
home
pursuant
to
state
law
and
then
direct
in
saint
luke's
church
to
send
its
invoices
from
the
selected
funeral
home
for
payment
by
the
city.
J
No,
it
turned
out
that
we
never
ended
up
giving
st
luke's
the
original
ten
thousand,
because
our
procurement
process
was
was
a
little
onerous.
At
that
point,
we
think
we
figured
out
a
solution
to
make
this
work
for
him
now
and
so
we'll
just
give
him
the
25
000,
and
that
will
be
the
total
amount
for
this.
A
The
next
communication
from
the
city
manager
is
communication
regards
to
the
capital
improvement
project.
Sorry,
the
capitalist
capital
improvement
plan
submitted
for
the
2022-2026
city
councillors
person
into
my
obligations
under
5
4
of
the
city
of
charter.
I
hereby
submit
to
you
my
proposed
capital
improvement
plan
for
fiscal
years
22
to
26..
A
The
enclosed
capital
improvement
plan
continues
the
city's
commitment
to
utilize
our
resources
and
fiscal
strengths
for
the
purpose
of
enhancing
the
quality
of
life
in
our
city.
The
proposed
total
investment
of
fy
22
is
in
excess
of
14
million.
This
is
similar
to
our
post
podemic
level
of
investment
in
21..
A
The
list
of
projects
includes
road
roadway,
repair,
school
pa,
school
building,
maintenance,
major
underground
utility
work
and
open
space
improvements.
I
recognize
that
our
response
to
covert
19
has
required
city
to
expend
significant
capital
and
therefore
our
reserves
are
lower
than
they
would
have
been.
They
have
been
in
several
years.
Nonetheless,
I
feel
is
critical
for
the
city
to
continue
to
invest
long
term
and
its
capital
improve
capital
projects
that
improve
the
city,
even
as
we
consider
to
seek
to
rebuild
our
rainy
day
funds
in
accordance
with
the
charter
requirement.
A
I
ask
the
city
council
to
move
this
capital
improvement
plan
to
a
public
hearing
following
that
hearing
and
the
council's
final
determination
on
this
plan,
I
will
prepare
a
recommendation
order
for
implementation
of
fy
22
proposals.
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
to
accomplish
the
goals
of
the
newest
plan.
Council
robinson.
A
A
A
Our
public
safety
departments
and
inspectional
services
departments
are
key
to
the
enforcement
of
this
new
ordinance
and
are
currently
able
to
issue
citations
tickets
to
the
violators
by
issuing
the
tickets
and
tracking
them.
The
next
offense
would
go
a
long
way
in
with
the
criminal
enforcement
of
the
state
law.
A
A
B
C
C
You're,
looking
at
the
proposal,
only
ordinances
now,
therefore
be
it
ordained
that
the
revised
court
of
artisans
of
the
city
of
chelsea
hasn't
meant
to
be
further
amended
and
adopted
an
ordinance
revising

add
the
following

provisions,
and
you
have
all
the
provisions
before
you.

M
A
B
A
A
Item
six
was
the
article
in
regards
to
off-street
parking
requirements,
then
that
would
allow
any
relief
from
off-street
parking
requirements
to
be
disqualifying
from
the
participating
cities
parking
sticker
program.
If
they
received
a
special
special
permit
and
then
notwithstanding,
they
would
then
encourage
a
new
parking
program
for
just
the
downtown.
D
A
The
planning
department,
the
florida,
the
planning
board,
voted
up
voted
down
this
proposal.
There
were
many
questions
raised
during
that
meeting
in
regards
to
whether
there'd
be
any
if
the
the
existing
buildings
in
the
downtown
area
would
now
all

be
subject
to
juice
new
downtown
or
was
it
just
new
one?
So
without
that
clarity,
and
some,
quite
frankly,
some
objections
raised
by
the
planning
board
to
a
downtown
parking
area.
Given
that
the
city
council
had
stated
anyone
with
a
special
permit
should
not
qualify
for
it,
it
was
rejected.
B
C
B
So,
just
to
clarify
the
amendment
before
us
is
the
amendment
proposed
by
councillor
ave
yaneda,
which
is
to
strike
amendment
six.
It
is
properly
before
you
for
roll
call
if
you
vote
in
favor
of
his
amendment
it
passes
and
it
does
not
give
an
opportunity
for
another
council
for
for
another
amendment.
If
his
amendment
does
not
pass,
then
it
gives
an
opportunity
for
another
colleague
to
present
another
amendment
before
us
and
then
you
can
vote
on
that
one.
Is
that
clear?
G
Just
actually
have
a
question
for
clarity.
The
motion
that
actually
we're
speaking
on
it
talks
about
article
34v
and
five
for
off-street
parking.
It
actually
has
council
robinson's
name
on
it.
I
thought
that
was
I'm
not
sure.
What's
going
on
here,
but
in
ada
say
it's
emotion,
but
it
has
a
different
name.
N
B
B
So
right
now
right
now
count
through
the
chair
right
now.
Councillor
avallanera's
amendment
is
the
one
properly
before
us,
which
is
to
strike
amendment
six.
So
you
can
ignore
councillor
robinson's
amendment
for
the
moment,
because,
what's
properly
in
front
of
you
right
now
is
councillor
avenetas
councillors
of
vienna's
amendment
is
what's
properly
before
you.
You
can
either
vote
in
favor.
You
can
vote
against.
A
There
were
questions
as
to
why
they
would
circumvent
what
we
set
up
that
if
you
want
to
build
anything
in
chelsea
and
you
get
a
special
permit,
that
you
will
not
participate
in
the
parking
program,
because,
if
you're
going
to
make
the
argument
that
there
aren't,
you
know
you
don't
have
cars.
You're
going
to
your
residents
are
going
to
take
the
tea
and
all
that
all
that
stuff.
A
Then
you
can't
come
back
and
say:
oh
by
the
way,
I'm
shoving
all
the
cars
of
my
residents
onto
the
streets,
exacerbating
the
that
area,
and
that
was
fair.
It
was,
it
was
fair
to
say,
the
creation
that
was
proposed
by
the
city
manager
and
his
staff
to
go
around
the
pro
that
that
that
positioned
by
the
city
council
was
to
say.
Well,
maybe
we
can
do
an
overnight
program
just
for
downtown
and
what
wasn't
clear
was
by
creating
a
downtown
overnight
parking
program
for
those
buildings
to
get
special
permits.
A
Would
it
also
now
include
the
existing
residents
in
downtown
who
currently
are
in
the
parking
program
and
would
lose
the
ability
to
park
all
day
so
because
of
that
confusion,
and
because
some
members
of
the
planning
board
felt
that
it
was
a
circumvention
of
the
will
of
the
city
council,
they
rejected
it.
Now
that
was,
we
went
to
subcommittee
and
it
went
to
the
planning
board
we
discussed
in
the
subcommittee.
We
went
to
the
planning
board,
they
they
made
their
vote
and
now
it's
in
front
of
us
tonight.
A
A
O
On
me,
can
you
all
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
thank
you,
so
I
will
be
supporting
this
amendment,
so
I
I
I
am
in
agreement
with
what
council
president
every
janet
is
saying.
However,
I
just
feel
that
it's
I
don't
know
if
it's
me
because
of
the
pandemic
and
everything
is
through
zoom.
It's
all
very
confusing.
All
of
these
amendments
coming
before
us,
where
we're
trying
to
explain
what's
happening
back
and
forth.
I
don't
I
don't
know
how
comfortable
I
feel.
I
I
understand.
O
I
understood
and
thank
you
council
president
regina
for
explaining
that,
but
I
don't
know
that
I
fully
get
the
entire
grasp
of
what
we're
voting
on
here
today.
I
just
kind
of
I
I'm
hesitant
to
send
it
to
a
subcommittee
because
I
don't
want
to
extend
the
time
any
longer,
but
I
just
I
almost
feel
I
don't
know
if
any
of
my
other
colleagues
feel
this
way,
but
I
kind
of
feel
like
maybe
we
should
regroup
and
talk
about
this
one
last
time,
I'm
not
submitting
a
motion
at
this
moment
so
never
mind.
B
H
Agree
with
my
colleague
councillor
vedau
on
this.
I
think
that
probably
it
would
be
worth
another
regrouping
to
try
to
talk
out
some
of
these
issues
instead
of
trying
to
have
a
new
amendment
coming
up
right
now
and
voting
on
it.
I'd
like
at
least
the
opportunity
to
discuss
what
all
the
ramifications
are,
and
I
think
councillor
of
aginetta,
president
of
asia,
made
a
good
point
where
the
new
amendment
didn't
go
through
that
process,
and
we
should
allow
it
to
go
through
that
process
before
we
make
a
decision.
M
B
So
to
clarify,
thank
you.
That's
a
great
question.
The
only
matter
properly
before
you
is
the
amendment
that
counselor
ave
janella
wishes
to
make
so
right
now
the
motion
is
roll
call
for
the
amendment
so
you're
not
voting
on
the
package,
yet
you're
mo
you're
voting
on
making
a
change
to
amendment
six.
A
A
That's
what
first
change
amendment
two
would
change
the
the
dimensions
and
regulations
in
the
r2
district
per
dwelling
unit
density,
one
to
six
units
would
be
thirty,
five
hundred
for
unit
one
and
then
one
thousand
for
each
additional
unit,
but
not
less
than
five
thousand
square
feet.
That's
one
amendment
part
of
amendment
two
is
for
seven
plus
units,
the
first
unit.
Again,
you
need
a
minimum
of
thirty
five
500
square
feet
and
then
950
square
feet
for
each
additional
unit,
with
the
requirement
of
a
10
000
square
foot
lot.
A
So
if
you
wanted
to
build
seven
units,
minimum
you'd
need
ten
thousand
square
feet.
If
you
want
to
build
anyone
from
one
to
six,
you'd
need
a
minimum
of
five
thousand
square
feet,
but
you
need
at
least
thirty
five
hundred
square
feet
for
the
first
and
then
one
thousand
for
each
additional.
So
if
you
wanted
to
build
six
thousand
units,
I'm
sorry
six
thousand,
my
I
don't
wanna
scare
anyone
six
units,
you
would
need
the
first
thirty
five
hundred
and
then
five
thousand
additional
fees.
B
A
That's
correct
in
front
of
us,
but
the
clarification
is
if
we
vote
in
favor
of
my
amendment,
we're
also
approving
all
the
other
ones
in
front
of
us.
My
amendment
simply
strikes
number
six,
because
the
planning
board
did
not
want
us
to
pass
it.
So
I
am
following
their
recommendation
that
we
not
approve
amendment
six
in
in
in
and
create
a
downtown
parking
sticker
program.
A
D
M
A
B
M
B
F
N
B
C
B
C
The
proposals
before
you
were
three
proposals.
This
first
proposal
council
absentee
often
remembered
to
strike
out
item
six
as
recommended
by
the
planning
board.
But
after
that
vote
we
still
are
open
to
amendments
of
this
particular
item.
If
there
are
no
more
amendments
that
would
be
adopted,
as
amended
by
council
officer
native
alone,.
C
C
M
B
O
Thank
you,
so
I
I
there's
so
much
confusion,
and
I
hate
this
to
me
to
make
this
worse
than
it
is
so
before
us
is
planning
board
recommendations
with
a
bunch
of
recommendations.
Council
president
of
geneva
is
recommending
that
we
slash
six
out
of
those
recommendations.
My
question
is
after
we
vote
on
the
planning
board
recommendations.
Will
we
then
vote
on
the
entire
matter?
Because
if,
if
it's
going
to
get
adopted
as
amended,
I
think
that
we
should
be
sending
this
to
a
subcommittee,
because
there
is
so
much
confusion.
B
O
B
B
C
B

We

Mr

and

O
B
Those
are
the
three
items
properly
before
us.
We
now
move
on
to
the
next
section,
which
is
new
business
order
introduced
by
councillor
avenganera
in
regards
to
authorizing
the
city
manager,
to
submit
to
the
department
of
public
utilities
the
city's
municipal
aggregation
plan.
What
is
the
wish
of
the
council.
B
G
I'll
be
voting
in
favor
on
this.
I
think
it's
a
very
good
thing.
A
partnership
grant
to
give
us,
I
believe
it's
25
000-
is
something
we've
had
in
the
past.
It's
an
effective
way
that
we
can
use
this
money
with
the
dpw
to
go
out
and
educate
people
about
enhancing
our
community,
the
effectiveness,
the
effectiveness
of
partnership
by
going
into
dense
areas
or
going
into
areas
where
there's
some
kind
of
barrier.
G
It
could
be
a
language
barrier
where
people
are
not
aware
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
to
expand
the
service
and
the
quality
of
life.
This
grant
allows
us
to
go
in
and
talk
to
folks
and
let
them
know
what
the
city
is
trying
to
do
to
make
the
city
better
and
also
enhance
the
city
and
improve
the
quality
of
life
around
them.
So
I
think
again
it's
only
25
000,
but
it's
something
that
worked
in
the
past.
G
We
go
out
and
we
send
some
leaflets.
I
believe.
Last
year
we
had
a
notice
in
the
newspaper,
letting
folks
know
what
we
were
trying
to
do.
So
you
wouldn't
be
scammed.
If
someone
knocked
on
your
door
and
asks
you
to
buy
into
something
that
you're
not
aware
of
again,
this
is
something
that
a
lot
of
cities
are
doing,
they
go
out
and
they
try
to
improve
their
cities.
So
I
think
it's
a
great
thing
again:
it's
a
grant,
it's
money
that
we
can
use.
G
C
C
B
P
B
C
B
B
B
C
B
M
Agree
with
what
my
fellow
counselor
says
a
lot
of
times:
people
go
to
these
places
and
a
lot
of
them
don't
have
access
to
computers.
A
lot
of
them,
don't
know
how
to
use
computers,
so
you
should
have
the
choice
if
you
want
it
on
computer.
Fine,
if
you
wanted
an
email
fine,
but
you
should
also
have
the
choice
to
get
her
on
a
piece
of
paper.
They
shouldn't
force
you
to
get
it
exactly
that
way,
because
that's
not
freedom,
freedom
is
of
choice.
You
should
have
an
option
if
you
don't
have
an
option.
M
What
choice
do
you
have
when
they
say
to
you?
This
is
the
only
way
to
get
it
and
a
lot
of
people.
Don't
don't
have
the
they
don't
have
where
to
go
and
get
it.
They
don't
have
a
computer.
They
don't
know
how
to
use
it.
I
know
I'm
going
back
to
the
same
thing,
but
I
think
it's
fair
that
all
of
us
should
have
an
option.
You
shouldn't
be
just
restricted
to
one
thing,
and
this
is
a
good
thing
that
when
somebody
asks
for
a
piece
of
paper,
they
should
get
it.
M
They
shouldn't
say
to
them:
well,
go
look
in
your
email,
I'm
sending
it
to
you!
If
he's
asking
for
a
piece
of
paper,
that
person
should
get
a
piece
of
paper.
If
he's
asking
for
email,
that
person
could
get
an
email,
and
if
that
person
is
asking,
do
we
put
on
a
computer
fine,
we
should
all
have
a
choice.
That's
what
I
believe-
and
I
think
our
country
was
founded
on-
that
the
freedom
of
choice.
O
O
I'm
excited
that
we
are
getting
a
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
person
we're
going
through
the
hiring
process
now,
so,
hopefully
that
these
are
things
that
there'll
be
someone
to
pay
extra
attention
to
things
like
this,
but
it's
just
a
matter
of
accessibility,
and
I
just
want
to
shout
out
my
colleagues
in
service
for
putting
this
forward.
Thank
you.
Q
There's
one
official
vehicle,
that's
parked,
always
at
100
broadway,
never
moves
it's
around
city
hall
on
washington,
avenue,
that's
a
main
street,
especially
and
when
there's
a
snow
days
or
emergencies.
You
know
those
vehicles
should
be
moved
just
like
anybody
else
give
space
to
to
the
people
who
are
cleaning
the
snow.
Q
M
M
I
go
downstairs
I
come
in
and
I
look
and
I
see
that's
deplorable
what
happens
to
poor
people
with
wheelchairs.
They
need
to
come
up
in
this
giant
holes
all
in
that
side,
so
they
should
be
fixed.
It
shouldn't
be
like
that.
What,
if
you
can't
push
yourself
when
you
get
stuck
what
happens
to
that
poor
person
when
there's
a
giant
hole
where
it's
supposed
to
be
now?
M
The
city
should
have
at
least
more
paid
more
attention
to
stuff
like
that,
because
that's
very
important
god
forbid.
Any
of
us
fall
like
that.
Will
we
want
to
go
through
that?
I
don't
think
we
would.
We
will
want
something
that
you
can
go
up
and
down
and
that's
deplorable.
It's
got
giant
holes
and
it's
been
like
that
for
a
while.
I
think
all
handicapped
ramps
within
the
city
should
be
fixed.
All
handicapped
people
should
have
access
without
killing
themselves
to
come
to
the
building
and
I
believe
they
should
be
done
right
away.
O
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
putting
this
forward.
We
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and
really
being
able
to
acknowledge
people
that
are
that
abilities
are
different
than
the
average
than
what
we
we
we
expect,
but
I
I
have
full
faith
that,
with
this
new
position
of
dei
of
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion,
that
we'll
have
someone
that
will
be
paying
close
attention
to
those
issues,
because
it's
not
just
a
matter
of
we
should
have
it.
We
have
to
provide
it
by
law.
O
B
M
Okay,
this
is
something
important
too.
I
believe
it
is
all
utilities
companies
come
in,
they
dig
holes
and
then
they
don't
fix
them.
The
city
spends
thousands
and
thousands
of
dollars
to
fix
our
roads,
so
they
come
in,
they
dig
them
up
and
then
they
leave
sinkholes
right
and
we
should
make
them
fix
it.
M
The
way
they
got
it
the
way
it
should
be
because
if
you
dig
it
up-
and
you
don't
put
it
the
same
way-
then
the
sinkhole's
there
like
on
highland
ave,
I
know
they're
going
to
redo
all
the
marginal
street,
but
the
sinkhole
still
exists
and
that's
not
the
only
place.
You
go
around
our
city
and
you
will
find
that
many
many
holes
are
that
way.
But
these
utility
companies
come
in
and
do
it,
the
utilities
company
charges
the
people
more
money
and
they
have
more
money
that
they
know
what
to
do
with.
M
So
the
taxpayer
pay
for
the
road
they
come
in,
they
break
it
up.
Then
they
throw
a
little
patch
on
it
and
say:
oh
it's
done,
and
then
the
road
looks
crappy
we
pay
for
that
road.
The
taxpayers
pay.
They
take
our
money
and
in
return
they
should
be
obligated
to
fix
it
the
same
way
that
they
got
it
because
it
takes
a
while
for
a
street
to
get
done.
It's
not.
The
street
gets
done
in
one
day.
M
M
So
I
think
it's
time
that
we
implement
the
way
they
have
to
put
it
back
the
way
it
was
maybe
not
do
the
whole
row,
but
if
you
dig
up
a
hole
put
it
at
least
where
it's
normal,
where
it
doesn't
sink
in
where
and
if
it
does,
you
come
back
and
fix
it
and
that's
what
we
should
make
them
do,
because
they
think
it's
the
right
thing
to
do.
They
don't
give
us
free
energy,
so
should
we
give
them
a
free
pass
on
fixing
our
roles.
C
O
Thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
I
just
I'm
a
little
concerned
because
I
don't
know
that
we
really
can
report
on
what's
happening
with
the
chamber
of
commerce.
I
mean
I
I
feel
like
yeah.
We
can
talk
about
money
that
we've
given
to
small
businesses,
but
the
chamber
of
commerce,
commerce,
it's
an
entirely
different
entity.
So
I
I
don't
really
understand
that.
O
I
mean
I
I
just
can't
understand
it
just
I
guess
I
object
to
the
to
the
to
the
last
part
of
it.
I
just
don't
understand
how
we
can
have
any
say
or
question
as
to
what
happens
out
of
here.
I
think
it's
completely
overreaching
yeah.
We
can
report
on
the
small
business
loans
and
the
things
that
we
have
capacity
over,
but
I
just
don't
understand
so
I
I
mean
if,
unless
the
counselor
that
that
presented,
it
can
clarify
it,
then
I
would
object
to
this
order.
So.
F
A
I
understand
where
castle
robinson
is
going,
but
I
also
understand
what
council
b
doe
is
saying
that
and
I'm
speaking
as
member
former
executive
director
of
the
chamber
of
commerce
and
lots
of
experience
with
the
chamber,
but
to
council
widow's
point
it
shouldn't
be
that
as
a
condition
of
money
received
by
the
city
that
you
therefore
had
to
join
a
local
non-profit
organization
that
happens
to
be
a
business
community,
because
the
two
have
nothing
to
do
with
each
other.
I
feel
the
the
chamber.
A
A
I
don't
think
that
that's
the
type
of
message
we
should
be
saying
to
anybody,
and
so
I
I
would
I
would
you
know
I
would
challenge
that
in
any
way
I
mean
for
that
very
same
reason
you
would
you
would
say
well
as
a
member,
why
not
also
join
the
rotary?
Why
not
join
this?
You
know
it
just
I
don't
know
it
just
it
rubs.
I
think
it
rubs
the
wrong
way.
A
There
are
many
ways
that
businesses
can
be
active
members
of
this
community
part
of
our
social
fabric
without
being
a
member
of
any
particular
group,
and
I'm
sure
there
are
plenty
of
businesses
out
there
that
don't
belong
to
a
membership
and
are
probably
great
stakeholders
in
this
community.
So
I
don't
want
to
measure
you
know
the
assistance
given
by
the
city
official
taxpayer
money
as
a
somewhat
indirect
endorsement
that
that
was
a
caveat
that
you're.
That
meant
that
you
had
to
join
a
particular
organization.
B
H
H
H
If
it,
if
it's
the
legitimate
power
of
this
body,
to
foster
business
in
chelsea
for
the
benefit
of
its
residents,
then
I
think
that
this
could
be
a
helpful
way
not
to
say
that.
Well,
you
know
anybody
that
gets
money
should
join
the
join
the
chamber,
but
it
gives
us
an
idea
of
what
the
situation
actually
is
on
the
ground
so
that
you
know
a
lot
of
times.
These
businesses
might
benefit
from
maybe
maybe
some
of
them
wouldn't
and
again
it's
up
to
the
individual
business
owners.
H
To
do
that,
I
wouldn't
want
to
push
that
on
anyone,
but
I
do
think
that
a
lot
of
these
businesses
might
be
able
to
benefit
from
membership
in
the
in
the
in
the
chamber,
and
I
think,
if
it's
our
duty
or
our
legitimate
duty
to
kind
of
try
to
foster
business
activity
in
the
in
the
in
the
city
for
the
benefit
of
all,
I
don't
see
anything
wrong
with
this
order.
If
it's
asking
for
information.
B
H
F
O
Thank
you
I
like
to
move
that
we
strike
everything
after
assistance,
because
I
think
it's
it's.
We
can
ask
information
of
the
city
manager
within
the
confinements
of
city
hall.
We
can't
ask
about
what's
happening
at
chelsea
chamber
of
commerce.
I
think
it's
overreach.
I
think
it's
inappropriate
and,
quite
frankly,
the
people
that
were
tasked
with
the
third
party
contract
to
facilitate
the
funds
was
the
non-profit
out
of
the
chelsea
chamber
of
commerce.
O
B
B
C
B
A
I
B
N
P
C
B
M
G
G
There's
a
lot
of
folks
throughout
the
commonwealth
have
really
stepped
up
and
helped
chelsea
this
earlier
this
evening
we
were
talking
about
rental
assistance
for
folks,
as
being
now
being
ready
to
be
evicted
out
of
their
property.
This
is
the
grant
money
that
comes
to
the
city
by
someone
good
will
towards
us
here
in
chelsea.
They
recognize
that
the
city
of
chelsea
could
use
this
money.
G
There's
really
good
people
here
that
can
use
this
money,
and
this
money
goes
the
first
four
hundred
thousand
dollar
goals
to
help
for
legal
aid
to
help
prevent
folks
from
either
with
their
rent,
going
to
court.
Legal
service
and
health.
Helpful
information
and
the
other
200
000
goes
out
to
folks
on
the
what
we
call
a
chelsea
eat
food
debit
card,
but
again
which
helps
folks.
You
don't
have
to
be
poor
to
receive
this
folk.
G
G
I
want
to
thank
our
city
manager
to
reach
out
to
these
programs
that
show
that
they
still
have
goodwill
towards
chelsea
a
lot
of
cities
wish
they
had
what
we
had,
and
I
know,
there's
some
waste
out
there,
but
there's
a
lot
of
good
families
out
there
that
can
use
this
money.
So
I'm
just
grateful
that
we
had
an
opportunity
to
get
another
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
where
we
don't
have
to
directly
take
it
out
of
our
budget
to
help
out
folks,
that's
really
in
need.
Thank
you,
madam
chairwoman.
B
O
C
To
the
contrary.
The
city
of
chelsea
may
impose
a
local
sales
tax
upon
seal
or
transfer
of
road
salt
or
related
products
by
a
taxpayer
with
salt
storage
operations
within
the
city
of
chelsea,
at
a
rate
not
greater
than
one
percent
of
the
total
sales
price
received
by
the
taxpayer.
In
consideration
for
the
sale
of
road
salt,
the
taxpayers
shall
pay
the
local
sales
tax
imposed
under
this
section
in
the
same
manner
as
personal
property
taxes
section
two.
This
act
shall
take
effect
as
of
july.
C
B
C
Next
item
was
introduced
by
car
savage
in
aidan.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
hereby
ordain
that
the
revised
code
of
ordinances
of
the
city
of
chelsea
has
amended
be
further
amended
and
adopted
as
follows.
Amend
chapter
14
licenses
permits
miscellaneous
business
regulation,
article
11
marijuana
establishments
as
follows:
replacing
in
the
satiety
section,
14-459
limitation
on
number
of
marijuana
retailers
with
the
following
as
authorized
by
massachusetts,
general
law,
chapter
94
g
and
three,
a
two.
The
number
of
marijuana
retailers
operating
within
the
boundaries
of
the
city
of
chelsea
be
limited
to
a
maximum
of
six.
What.
B
A
Briefly,
only
that,
in
light
of
some
of
the
delays
because
of
voting
on
marijuana
expansion,
I
feel
that
this
time
this
vote
should
be
just
waited
until
we
have
all
of
that
in
the
same
night
conjunction.
So
I'm
moving
to
a
second
reading,
and
anyone
who
has
any
questions
regarding
this
can
see
me
privately.
G
I
just
want
to
plead
to
the
residents
out
there.
This
is
something
that
has
been
moved
to
the
second
reading.
I
mean
not
a
second
reading
for
our
next
meeting.
I
think
we
should
really
be
aware
of
this
here.
This
is
an
order
to
revise
the
code's
audience
to
deal
with
marijuana
establishments
and
and
chelsea
I
mean
when
the
law
or
when
the
petition
was
on
the
ballot
in
2016.
G
G
I
just
think
we're
moving
too
fast.
Here
we
have
four
establishments.
I
believe
we
have
three
under
contract
right
now.
We
have
one
more.
We
have
one
more
establishment
out
there
licensed
available
if
it's
not
already
taken
we're
taking
on
with
tackling
with
delivery
proposals
with
delivery.
Marijuana,
we
haven't,
got
a
glass
on
that
we're
in
a
pandemic.
A
lot
of
folks
are
not
aware
of.
What's
going
on,
they
don't
have
really
their
reasonable
time
to
come
to
city
hall
because
we're
lacking.
G
G
I
think
we
should
just
really
wait
to
when
we
get
engaged
on
the
community
and
before
we
start
asking
other
folks
to
come
to
chelsea,
because
we're
going
to
have
six
more
marijuana
establishments
available.
We
have
one
right
now,
that's
really
up
and
operational,
and
it's
right
now,
I'm
just
getting
on.
G
B
A
We
currently
have
four,
and
the
number
change
would
be
the
total
of
six,
so
we're
actually
only
adding
two
more
from
four
to
six,
so
we're
not
going
to
have
an
additional
six,
which
would
which
would
mean
we'd
have
10.,
that's
not
the
case
here.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
my
colleagues
and
those
at
home
are
very
clear
on
what
this
says.
A
We
currently
have
four
and
the
amendment
would
increase
it
to
six
total,
so
we
really
are
just
adding
two
more
licenses
and
in
light
of
what
we
had
proposed
for
the
downtown
area,
I
thought
it
made
sense,
but
again
just
clarify
this
is
not
six
more.
The
council
is
wrong
in
saying
that
and
telling
residents
that
we're
adding
six
more.
That's
not
the
case.
We're
going
from
four
to
six.
That's
two
more!
Thank
you.
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
want
to,
can
you
all
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
I
just
want
to
I.
I
will
be
supporting
this
measure
and
I'm
really
grateful
that
council
pres
council.
President
obama
is
putting
this
forth.
The
way
that
it
happened
was
the
law
that
it
narrowly
passed.
I
mean
that's,
not
how
it
works
right,
it
either
passes
or
it
does
it
and
it
passed
here
and
I
believe
the
margin
was
about
10.
O
So,
let's
try
to
build
some
equity
here,
because
the
folks
that
were
coming
into
our
community
were
people
from
out
of
state
with
affluence,
and
so
this
is
just
an
opportunity
to
try
to
level
the
playing
field
and
the
same
activists
and
advocates
that
have
been
pushing
for
us
to
be
more
diverse
and
more
equitable
and
more
include
inclusive
are
the
same
people
that
have
been
advocating
for
this.
So
I
don't
think
that
we're
necessarily
moving
too
fast.
In
fact,
I
think,
addressing
the
old
drug
wars
that
disproportionately
affected
our
communities.
O
I
think
we're
way
behind
the
eight
ball
and
government
cannot
stop
simply
because
one
counselor
feels
uncomfortable.
We
need
to
really
face
this
head
on
by
making
sure
that
we're
crafting
policy
and
legislation
that
is
going
to
prioritize
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
community.
I
will
be
1
000,
supporting
this
getting
everyone
in
the
community
to
learn
the
facts,
because
we
as
counselors
have
a
responsibility
to
spread
facts
and
not
miss
truths.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you.
Council.
M
From
what
I
understand
here,
we
want
to
increase
it
from
four
to
six
from
what
I
you
know,
other
cities
do
it
and
what
this
would
do
if
we
increase
it
to
six,
what
it
does
it
gives
an
opportunity
to
more
people
to
apply,
and
maybe
some
minorities
or
someone
that's
low
or
whatever
it
is
we'll
be
able
to
get
one.
We
shouldn't
be
limited
just
to
four.
If,
because
there's
already
is
four,
so
we
should
have
an
opportunity
to
at
least
I
don't
know.
I
believe
that
this
is
not
such
a
bad
thing.
M
Six
things
ain't,
so
bad.
We're
only
increasing
two
we're
giving
the
opportunity
to
other
people
a
couple
of
people
to
do
it,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
that.
I
know
the
state
says
we
can
only
have
four,
because
I
was
here
when
they
did
all
that,
because
you
can
only
have
four
according
to
the
size
of
your
city,
but
so
by.
If
we
pass
this,
are
we
bypassing
the
state?
Are
we
doing
our
own
thing?
What
are
we
doing,
we're
bypassing
the
state
law
and
allowing
extra
or
we're
going
along
with
the
state?
M
That's
the
part
that
I
don't
understand.
Are
we
going
the
state
says
four,
so
if
we
increase
it
to
six,
are
we
allowed
to
increase
it
to
six
or
there's
going
to
be
some
kind
of
something
that
says?
Oh,
you
can't
increase
it
to
six.
So
what
is
this?
Actually
let
the
people
understand
what
this
actually
means.
Does
it
mean
if
the
council's
passed
for
six,
the
city
cannot
turn
around
and
say
you
can't
do
six.
That
has
to
put
six.
B
B
We
can't
answer
it
on
the
floor.
Got
it,
we
can't
answer
it
on
the
floor,
we're
moving
it
to
a
second
read
it,
so
it
can
be
answered
then.
So
when
it
properly
comes
before
you
for
a
vote,
you'll
be
a
question.
Thank
you.
So
now
we
have
moved
on
to
second
reading
any
more
comments
on
the
matter.
Counselor
todd
taylor.
The
floor
is
yours,
I'll.
H
Right
now,
legal
marijuana
costs
a
lot
more
than
marijuana
on
the
street,
so
so
the
market
is
not
a
true
market,
and
so
I'm
worried,
economically
speaking,
that
adding
more
licenses
will
denigrate.
The
kind
of
you
know
the
people
that
have
already
put
up
the
money
and
established
their
their
businesses.
H
That
way
for
a
long
time,
so
you
know
I
I
I
just
see
it's
not
just
about
social
justice,
it's
about
economics
as
well,
and
I
think
that
you
know
well-intentioned
things
can
have
bad
outcomes
if
you
don't
think
it
through.
So
I
I
just
would
ask
people
to
think
about
these
things
too,
and
I
don't
know
what
the
answer
is.
I
don't
know
how
I
would
vote
on
this,
but
you
know
it's
something
to
consider.
Thank
you.
O
Can
I
just
make
a
quick
comment
since
I
was
mentioned
by
name
counselor
without
I
just
I
just
want
to
say
I
I
I've
heard
I
heard
the
counselor
before
me.
I
heard
him
speak
earlier
about
government
shirt
and
be
impeding
in
business
and
now
we're
talking
about.
We,
we
have
questions
about
the
the
economy,
and
so
I
just
you
know
I
I
hear
it,
but
also.
B
B
Now,
therefore,
be
it
hereby
ordained
that
the
revised
code
of
ordinances
of
the
city
of
chelsea
as
amended,
be
it
further
amended
and
adopted
as
follows:
amend
chapter
16,
miscellaneous
offenses
and
provisions,
article

offenses
involving
public
peace
and
order
as
follows:
add
a
new
section
to

subject
to
section

of

148

massachusetts.
General

be
defined

H
B
H
I'm
it's
february
and
you
know
the
the
spring
and
then
the
summer
will
be
upon
us.
I
wanted
to
address
this
problem
before
july
comes
so
that
there
will
be
ample
time
to
kind
of
address
the
situation,
so
we
don't
have
a
repeat
of
last
year,
so
I'm
willing
to.
I
went
to
the
city
solicitor
and
we
talked
about
this
about
how
to
how
to
kind
of
make
the
ordinances
just
a
little
bit
stronger
to
discourage
some
of
this
stuff,
I'm
very
willing
to
send
it
to
conference.
H
If,
if
that's
so,
we
can
talk
about
different
types
of
things
that
we
can
do,
I'm
very
open
to
collaboration
on
this.
So
if
that's
what
people
want
to
do?
That's
fine,
but
I
do
think
that
this
caused
a
major
problem
last
year
and
I
think
most
people
on
this
council
got
clarified.
You
know
I,
I
know
I
got
dozens
and
dozens
and
dozens
of
calls
some
all
in
one
day
about
about
the
noise
of
the
fireworks
going
off
at
three
o'clock
in
the
morning.
C
B
G
You
I
just
want
to
commend
my
colleague
we
had
a
lot
of
discussion
about
this
throughout
when
it
was
going
on.
We
was
chasing
sammy,
mohica
down
and
try
to
get
him
every
night,
I'm
looking
forward
to
it.
I
was
glad
to
see
that
we
got
something
in
writing
that
the
city
solicitor
believes
it's
something
that
we
can
go
after.
If
we
find
out
the
enforcement
behind
this
and
catch,
those
perpetrators
is
doing
it.
We
had
a
really
tough
time
up
on
the
hill
leading
up.
G
G
The
tragedy
incident
with
mr
floyd,
so
I
just
hope
and
pray
that
we
don't
have
to
live
through
that
again.
None
of
those
accidents,
tragedies
nor
the
noise
that
kept
the
kids,
the
veterans,
the
folks
that
were
just
losing
enormous
amount
of
sleep,
had
to
get
up
and
try
to
struggle
and
go
to
work
the
next
morning.
G
B
P
P
O
O
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
have
a
dog
and
in
this
area,
when
we
have
fireworks,
my
dog
goes
crazy
and
that
we
have
neighbors
in
the
area
that
also
have
complaints
about
about
the
noise
and
not
only
the
noise
but
the
mess
that
it
leaves
behind.
So
I
get
that
it's
something
that
we
should
address
and
I
myself
am
trying
to
reflect
on
my
own
conditioning
because,
to
be
honest
with
you,
my
mentality,
when
I
hear
a
loud
noise
and
I
look
outside
it's
a
firework
firework.
O
The
first
thing
I
think
about
woof.
Thank
god.
It's
not
a
bullet
so
like.
For
me,
my
mentality
is
a
little
different.
I
also
feel
like
we
live
in
a
city
and
like
if
we
want
quiet,
then
we
should
probably
move
to
the
burbs.
I'm
not
saying
I'm
against
this,
but
I'm
just
offering
another
side,
because
there
are
people
in
the
community
that
think
that
finding
someone
such
a
hefty
fine
is
a
bit
ridiculous,
especially
when
we
weren't
even
willing
to
find
people
for
not
wearing
masks
in
the
face
of
a
pandemic.
O
So
I
mean
we're
talking
about
people
that
are
unemployed.
We're
talking
about
people
that
have
been
laid
off.
People
can't
pay
their
rent.
People
can't
pay
their
mortgages
and
we're
talking
about
finding
them
300
for
having
a
good
time
now.
Granted
their
good
time
should
not
impede
another's
quality
of
life.
But
it's
a
conversation
that
I
think
requires
more
more
of
a
discussion
in
order
for
us
to
find
something
that
can
work
for
everyone.
B
B
B
O
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
thank
council
president
abella
for
putting
placing
both
councillor
robinson
and
I
on
the
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
hiring
committee.
We
went
through
a
round
of
interviews
last
week.
We
got
amazing
candidates
and
I'm
really
feeling
hopeful
that,
hopefully,
that
we
found
that
we
narrowed
it
down
to
a
couple
of
folks
that
the
city
manager
will
feel
comfortable
hiring,
and
I
just
really
want
to
give
a
huge
shout
out
to
our
city,
solicitor,
chevrolet
watson,
who
chaired
that
hiring
committee.
O
It
was
a
beautiful,
inclusive
process
where
everyone
we
just,
we
challenge
each
other.
We
ask
the
right
questions
and
I
believe
that
we
got
down
to
the
to
the
to
the
best
candidates
that
we
could
find
to
lead
this
really
important
department.
So
thank
you
console
and
city
solicitor,
sherwood
watson.
That's
all
I
have
thank
you.
B
M
B
G
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
have
a
moment
silence
for
a
person.

fought
