A
Good

everyone
this

the
7
p.m.
Meeting
subcommittee
on
conference
to
be
held
wednesday
april
27th
and
is
the
following
subject
matter
will
be
discussed
in
order
to
amend
section
2-60,
a
of
the
code
of
ordinances
city
of
chelsea
massachusetts
by
striking
the
current
language
or
replacing
with
the
following
effective
the
city
council
term,
commencing
january
of
the
year,
2024
members
of
the
city
council
shall
receive
an
annual
salary
of
28
thousand
officials
invited
to
attend
as
all
men
all
honorable
members
of
the
chelsea
council
we
earlier
taking
a
roll
call
from
the
clerk.
B
B
A
C
That
they
think
did
not
object
to
giving
us
a
pay
raise.
They
object
to
the
amount
that
we
give
in
a
pay
raise.
They
object
to
doubling
it
up
at
one
time.
That's
what
they
have
issues
with
that
they
don't
mind.
If
we
get
a
pay,
raise,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
us
getting
a
small
pay
raise
like
we
did
the
last
time
and
then
do
it
in
increments,
but
I
don't
think
they
want
us
to
double
up
our
paychecks.
C
All
of
a
sudden,
I
got
a
lot
of
feedback
from
that
saying
that
they
don't
like
that.
They
think
it's
wrong,
but
they
have
no
complaints
or
giving
us
a
small
pay,
raise
or
pay
raise.
It's
nothing.
They
don't
complain
about
that.
They
just
complain
about
the
amount.
That's
the
pay
raise
and
doubling
it
up
at
one
time.
D
E
E
But
folks
are
a
little
concerned
about
the
disparate.
There
are
some
counselors
that
really
put
in
100,
and
then
there
are
others
that
don't
personally,
I
believe
that
that
we
do
deserve
a
raise.
I
mean
I
I
think
I
think
I
don't
know
what
that
amount
is.
I
think
we
should
really
look
at
other
communities
with
comparable
with
the
same
population
with
the
same
kind
of
needs,
because
it's
really
hot
chelsea
is
super
unique
and
a
lot
of
the
needs
that
we
deal
with.
E
But
I
just
think
I
I
just
wish
that
we
could
dig
into
it
a
little
deeper
and
I
don't
know.
I
would
hope
that
there
would
be
a
full
council
for
us
to
have
this
conversation
and
really
like
chop
it
up
a
little
deeper
and
I
don't
know,
what's
going
to
happen
after
this
conversation
but
yeah.
I
just
that's.
That's
what
I've
heard.
B
I
I
it's
one
of
the
it's
one
of
the
things
why
people
always
say
no
is
because
it's
too
much
of
a
of
a
pain
and
people
are
always
complaining
and
putting
you
down
and
all
this
stuff.
And
what
do
you
get
paid?
14
000
a
year?
It's
it's
not
worth
the
ag
the
time
and
aggravation,
and
so
and
me
myself,
I
mean
being
a
relatively
new
new
counselor.
B
B
So
people
call
me
but,
but
still
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
goes
that
goes
on
and
it
you
know
it
may
be
considered
a
part-time
job
and
I
guess
it
is
a
part-time
job,
but
it's
a
it's
a
pretty
busy
part-time
job
and
so,
and
I
still
think
twenty-eight
thousand
dollars
is
part-time
pay.
So
you
know
I
I
think
it's
fair.
It's
comparable
to
what
the
other
communities
are
getting
and
you
know
I.
I
think
I
think
that
they
should
go
before
the
full
city
council
and
have
a
vote.
C
I
disagree
with
one
a
few
things
that
counselor
says
for
one
who
determines
what's
a
better
class
of
people,
so
what
the
councils
that
are
here,
what
do
we
think
you
know
what
it
that's
you
can't?
A
person
has
to
want
to
do
this,
not
for
the
money
he
wants
to
do
it
because
he
wants
to
help
the
people.
C
That
is
the
number
one
job
of
any
elected
official.
It
should
be
not
for
the
glory
of
the
money.
I
think
that's
the
problem
in
all
our
nation
that
it's
for
the
money.
It
should
be
for
the
well-being
of
the
people
that
you
represent
and
more
money
ain't
going
to
make
any
better.
Counselors
more
money
isn't
going
to
create
people
running
to
the
things
for
it.
What
it
would
create
is,
let
me
let
me
rephrase
it,
but
what
it
will
create
it
will
create,
then,
that
the
wrong
reason
for
doing
it.
C
The
reason
would
be
to
make
money
not
to
actually
help
the
people
there's
nothing
wrong
with
councillor.
Taylor
wanted
to
give
a
pay,
raise,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
wanting
to
give
a
pay
raise
it's
okay,
but
we
don't
have
to
give
such
a
steep
pay
raise
that
we
look
to
the
constituents
that
we
represent
say.
The
only
thing
you
want
to
do
is
give
yourself
money.
We
don't
want
to
do
that.
We
want
to.
We
could
have
a
a
system
where
we
turn
around
and
we
give
ourselves
a
small
pay
raise
now.
C
Then,
the
next
council
whoever's
here
increases
itself
where
we
put
something
in
effect,
that
every
time
it
will
go
up
in
increments,
what's
wrong
with
going
up
in
increments.
Increments
is
a
that's
the
way
we
we
did
it
here
for
10
years.
Was
it
eight
years
we
haven't
got
a
raise.
Ten
years
we
haven't
haven't,
we
haven't
had
a
raise
that
should
have
been
implemented
the
same
way
it
should
have
been
implemented
where
we
will
give
ourselves
a
raise
automatically
and
what's
wrong
with
doing
that.
Now
we
turn
around
we'll
get
together
and
decide.
A
E
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
was
it:
while
it
is
technically
a
part-time
job,
the
hours
are
so
sporadic
that
it
requires
us
to
be
available.
24
7.
literally
24
7.,
so
yeah
it's
a
part-time
job,
but
you
literally
have
no
life
because,
god
forbid
someone
passes
away,
you
know
you
have
to
be
present
or
there's
a
fire
or
you
know
there
are
different
things
because
we're
not
just
showing
up
to
meetings
and
taking
votes.
We
have
relationships
in
community.
So
honestly,
I
would
be
a
fan
of
of
increasing
the
race.
A
D
A
D
A
We
could
hang
our
hat
and
say,
as
proposed
by
consular
taylor,
we're
still
below
all
of
our
locals
around
here,
and
I
think
part
of
it
is
like
look.
I
we
understand
we
have
to
play
so
much
ketchup
that,
yes,
it
seems
like
a
dramatic,
but
even
then,
if
I
rattle
off
all
of
the
pays
of
all
the
communities
around
us
we're
still
below
what
other
communities
are
paying.
A
Generally
speaking-
and
I
mean
just
don't
not
a
one-off-
I'm
not
saying
okay
just
pick
somerville,
which
pays
44
000.
No,
no,
you
check
five
or
six
communities.
Don't
just
pick
one
and
say:
oh,
that's
the
base.
No
do
a
general
see
if
there's
any
side
payments.
Also,
as
I
stated,
there
are
a
few
communities,
not
only
is
the
base
paid,
but
there's
an
extra
kicked
up
for
the
president
because
they
know
this
job
pays.
You
know
covers
more
time,
there's
also
side
benefits.
They
don't
write
in
there
is
revere,
pays
the
stipend.
A
A
A
It's
uniform,
uniform
and
you
know,
and
again
some
of
those
other
communities
include
health
insurance
which
to
a
lot
of
us
who
are
self-employed,
hey
that's
another
600!
I
got
to
pay
out
of
pocket,
you
know
so
they
they
get
health
insurance.
We
don't!
So.
When
all
said
and
done,
I
looked
at
the
number
and
said
wow
we
will
still
be
below
everybody
else.
We
are
playing
catch-up.
A
A
I
imagine
we're
doing
the
same
level
of
work
as
quincy
as
somerville.
If
I
take
a
somerville
counselor,
I
bet
you
were
doing
the
same
work
that
they
are.
I
may
even
argue
that
ours
is
a
little
bit
tougher
given
our
community
and
how
much
more
need
that
we
do
and
everything
else
we're
going
out
through.
So
you
know
a
lot
more
problems
are
fixed
than
some
of
the
other.
A
A
A
If
someone
wants
to
talk
hey,
if
you
don't
show
up
to
x,
whatever
you
want
to
discuss
it
and
say
you
get
your
pay
doc.
Fine
have
that
discussion
there,
but
you
know
it
is
other
than
that
we'd
leave
it
and
then
love
to
see
it
come.
You
know,
I'd
love
to
see
if
there's
any
other
counsel
that
you
know
changes
the
pay
or
whatever.
A
B
It
only
has
to
do
with
people
that
are
doing
the
work,
and
I
know
that
there's
lots
of
people
in
chelsea
who
actually
couldn't
afford
to
do
this
job
because
they
have
to
be
working
and
so,
and
so
it's
really
to
include
people
at
the
lower
end
of
the
income
spectrum
to
be
available
and
there's
a
ton
of
those
people
who
are
dedicated
enough
and
care
enough
and
will
put
in
the
hours
if
if
they
can
financially
hack
it.
So
I
mean
that
was
my
only
point
in
in
in
talking
about
equality.
It's
it's.
B
You
know,
you
know
I'm
in
the
employment
business,
so
I
know
that
the
bigger
the
pool
of
people
that
I
have
the
more
people
I
can
I
can
get
to-
and
that's
all
I'm
saying
is-
is
to
to
include
more
people
at
the
lower
end
of
the
spectrum.
Who
can
do
it
and
maybe
they
care
enough
to
do
it,
but
they
just
can't
financially.
Do
it
so.
B
C
Okay,
so
here's
what
I
propose:
why
don't
we
increase
it
the
same
amount
as
we
did
before
six
thousand
dollars
and
get
health
insurance
and
maybe
go
along
with
the
health
insurance
we
get.
A
stipend
like
revere,
does
an
account
for
us
and
it
all
leverages
out
in
that
way.
I
know
you're
gonna,
say
well.
Health
insurance
is
going
to
cost
us
twice
as
much
well,
why
not
for
people
that
don't
have
health
insurance?
Why
not?
Is
it
not
worth
to
get
your
health
insurance
and
you
get
health
insurance?
Plus
you
get
a
moderate
pay.
C
C
D
C
But
if
you,
but
if
you
increase
your
six
thousand
dollars,
pay
you're
going
over
you're
going
to
go
to
20
20
20
20
000,
and
then
you
get
your
health
insurance
and
then
you
make
each
time
the
council
comes
back
up
and
it
gets
reelected
you're
making
your
thing
well.
Health
insurance
is
too
expensive.
You're.
C
I'm
not
asking
for
any
raise
I'm
asking
for
health
insurance
for
us,
so
what?
If
people
don't
have
a
job
and
they
self-employed?
You
say
you
want
more
people
to
come
here
right.
Do
you
think
that
28
000
is
gonna,
bring
a
whole
bunch
of
people
and
they're
gonna
leave
their
jobs
to
come,
and
do
this
that
they're
still
gonna
have
to
work?
C
So
if
you
want
more
attract
more
give
them
health
insurance
what's
wrong
with
giving
all
of
us
health
insurance,
there's
many
of
us
that
might
want
the
health
insurance
there's
nothing
wrong
with
that.
The
city
every
va
offers
health
insurance.
They
all
have
health
insurance.
Why
can't
we
have
health
insurance,
so
you
need
to
tell
me
me
via
makes
that
much
money
plus
health
insurance
plus-
and
I
went
through
that
years
ago.
D
A
D
A
A
But
again,
I'm
asking
do
some
research
find
out
from
city
manager
what
it
would
cost
and
then
say
and
then
and
then
and
all
right
and
then
factor
it
in
and
then
say.
If
we
do
health
insurance,
then
you,
then
that
that
that
covers
something
I
don't
know
how
the
numbers
would
work
but
propose
something.
First,
counselor,
I'm.
F
F
C
D
E
C
F
E
C
C
You
know
every
time
that
this
up
either
you
get
a
cost
of
living
adjustments
or
you
get
an
automatic
increase
each
time.
There's
a
new
council.
It
should
go
put
in
effect.
Okay,
the
new
counters
this
year
will
increase
two
thousand
dollars
or
a
thousand
dollars,
or
they
will
get
cost
of
living
adjustment.
Everybody
gets
cost
of
living
adjustment.
That's
what
this
council
needs.
It
needs
to
look
at
ways
for
us
to
be
a
part,
but.
E
C
C
D
C
E
C
A
A
C
For
everything,
even
even
within
our
city
itself,
right,
yes,
once
you
retire
and
you
hit
62
or
65
the
city
doesn't
now
is
a
new
thing.
We
were
there
when
they
did
it.
The
city
does
not
pay
your
health
insurance
anymore.
It
goes
to
medicaid,
you
automatically
go
so
for
all
the
councils
or
whatever
it
is
you're
you,
you
don't
get
health
insurance.
You
know
for
the
years,
because
the
city
doesn't
give
it
to
you
anymore.
It
takes
it
away
so
more
or
less.
C
What
you're
asking
for
is
right
now
you're
there
why
you
should
get
help,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
you
getting
health
insurance
or
even
if
it
costs
more.
You
can't
take
it
when
you
retire.
If
you
stay
here
long
enough
and
you're
like
a
grandfather,
you're
32
years
or
whatever
you
want,
you
can't
take
your
health
insurance
with
you,
because
the
city
does
not
offer
it.
The
city
does
not
even
offer
the
same
thing
when
you
retire
as
a
counselor,
there's
a
b
c,
whatever
it
is,
there's
all
different
things.
