City of Chelsea
A
A
A
A
C
If
I
miss
you
we're
grateful
for
the
presence
of
so
many
representatives
of
the
court
system
here
in
Chelsea,
but
first
and
foremost,
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
first
Justice
of
the
church,
District
Court
Matthew
mashira.
Thank
you
judge
for
coming.
A
common
Gomez
is
here.
She
is
the
regional
supervisor
for
Mass
Probation
Services.
Thank
you
common.
Our
newly
elevated
first
Chief
probation
officer,
Jessica
iavana,
is
here
and
the
chief
court
officer,
Brian
Nichols,
is
also
here
in
attendance.
I
know
that
Jimmy
Dwyer
also
assistant
clerk
magistrate
is
here.
C
I
appreciate
that
very
much
if
I
missed
other
Quirk
magistrates,
I
do
apologize
again.
We're
very
grateful
and
I
I
see
a
very
special
guest
in
the
audience
and
I
know.
The
chief
is
very
a
throat
to
have
him
here
is
Suffolk
County,
District,
Attorney,
Kevin,
Hayden
and,
of
course,
I
also
see
Chief,
houghton's
predecessor,
long
time,
chief
of
the
Chelsea
Police
Department,
now
U.S
Marshal
Brian
Kai.
So
thank
you
so
much
Brian
for
coming
to
this.
C
Just
a
few
things
about
Chief
Houghton,
Chief
Houghton
was
appointed
to
the
Chelsea
Police
Department
back
in
1986,
and
he
quickly
worked
his
way
through
the
ranks
becoming
a
captain
in
2002
in
2007.
As
a
captain,
he
was
appointed
to
be
the
head
of
the
criminal
investigation
division,
as
well
as
the
public
information
officer
for
the
Chelsea
Police
Department,
and
he
held
those
two
positions
for
the
entire
remaining
time
that
he
was
a
captain
in
the
ranks
and
did
an
outstanding
job
at
that.
C
In
addition
to
that
service,
he
didn't
he
performed
just
about
every
possible
job
there
in
the
department.
He
did
grant
writing
he
lectured
not
only
in
Massachusetts
but
throughout
the
United
States
and
in
Canada.
He
served
on
a
gubernatorial
commission
for
Public
Safety,
he's
really
just
had
a
myriad
of
a
successful
assignments
for
the
Chelsea
Police
Department
in
his
long
career.
In
addition,
he
is
academically
well-versed,
he's
a
he
has
a
master's
degree
for
Anna
Marie
college
and
is
a
graduate
of
the
FBI
Academy
in
Quantico
Virginia
I
would
say.
C
Even
though
Chief
you
have
big
shoes
to
fill
filling
the
the
great
job
of
succeeding.
The
post
that
Chief
Kai's
had
filled
so
admirably
for
so
many
years.
I
have
no
doubt
that
quickly,
you're
going
to
establish
our
own
level
of
excellent
service
for
the
Chelsea
Police
Department
I
will
tell
you
that
in
the
short
time
that
Keith
Houghton
has
been
Chief.
Obviously
this
is
the
official
ceremony,
but
he
was
sworn
in
informally.
In
my
office
a
bit
ago,
I
have
been
tremendously
impressed
by
the
work
that
you've
done
in
this
short
period.
C
And
I
can
say
from
everyone
I've
heard
from
who
has
interacted
with
you.
The
feeling
there
is
mutual
so
without
further
Ado
Chief
I
invite
you
up.
I
would
also
like
to
invite
the
family
members
who
are
going
to
be
part
of
the
pinning
ceremony
and
the
person
who
is
going
to
be
doing
the
actual
pinning
of
the
badge
will
be
Chief.
Houghton's
son,
Brennan,
Houghton.
A
It's
going
to
come
up
and
just
not
say
a
few
words.
Thank
you.
You
may
have
your
seats.
Please
just
again
wanted
to
recognize
a
few
more
dignitaries,
just
in
the
house,
Madame
superintendent
of
schools.
Thank
you
for
being
here,
fire
chief,
thank
you
for
being
here.
I
receive
former
city
councilor
Stan
to
Weezy.
D
D
I
am
grateful
for
our
partnership
council
president
Brown
distinguished
City,
councilors
city
government
officials,
my
fellow
offices,
colleagues,
ladies
gentlemen,
and
the
great
people
of
this
community
good
evening
and
welcome
a
little
about
me.
I
am
a
son
of
this
community.
I
was
raised
here.
Educated
here
played
here
worshiped
here
and
for
over
36
years.
I
have
worked
here
as
a
proud
officer
of
the
Chelsea
Police
Department
I
learned
quite
a
bit
growing
up
here
in
Chelsea.
It
is
true
what
they
say.
D
It
really
does
take
a
village,
a
village
of
extraordinary
individuals
and
I
have
been
blessed
with
their
guidance
and
kindness
over
the
years
as
it
exposed
me
to
Opportunities.
Leading
me
right
here
to
stand
before
you
tonight,
as
chief
I
have
nothing
but
gratitude
and
admiration
for
you
all
and
to
a
city
that
has
given
me
so
much.
It
is
my
turn
to
give
back.
Thank
you
so
much.
D
Brian
Keyes
left
the
police
department
in
a
solid
state
and
set
us
up
with
tremendous
success.
Brian
you
were
a
terrific
boss,
I
appreciate
all
the
support,
I'm
proud
to
call
you
my
friend
and
I,
wish
you
the
best
as
United
States
marshal
for
the
District
of
Massachusetts.
Thank
you
so
much
Brian
for
everything.
D
D
It
takes
professional
commitment
to
constituents
in
providing
exceptional
community
service
resounding
the
call
that
we
up
all
public
servants
every
single
day.
It
takes
leveraging
relationships
with
appointed
and
elected
officials,
department,
heads
federal
state
and
local
agencies,
Community
stakeholders,
businesses,
clergy
and
residents,
to
establish
common
goals.
D
D
It
takes
my
commitment
as
Chief
pledging
to
you
that
all
Chelsea
police
officers
a
community
service
officers.
First,
it
takes
all
of
us.
The
role
of
police
chief,
unlike
most
in
public
service,
is
unlike
most
on
public
service,
because
it's
interconnected
with
every
aspect
of
government.
It
also
requires
in-depth
comprehension
of
the
inner
workings
of
our
neighborhoods
businesses,
Civic
groups
and
Community
organizations.
D
D
We
are
all
fair,
accountable,
compassionate
and
transparent.
In
everything
we
do.
We
will
continue
to
make
youth
our
priority.
Currently,
25
percent
of
Chelsea's
population
is
under
age
18..
This
is
Chelsea's
future.
Their
safety,
well-being
and
ability
to
thrive
should
be
vital
areas
of
focus
encompassing
the
entire
community.
D
D
That
philosophy
will
be
a
connection
that
can
follow
a
police
officer
and
a
child
into
adulthood.
Offices
will
work
to
establish
a
consistent
and
approachable
presence
on
the
streets
in
the
schools
to
Foster
and
build
relationships
with
youth
from
the
earliest
ages
possible,
creating
a
foundation
of
trust
and
a
genuine
Rapport
that
can
last
a
lifetime.
D
However,
we
must
remain
diligent,
aware
and
prepared
to
come,
combat
any
uptick
and
gang
and
youth
violence
across
the
region.
Chelsea
is
not
immune
to
the
potential
impact
of
gun
and
gang
violence.
In
that
vein,
we
strive
to
lead
proactive,
coordinated
efforts
with
federal
state
and
local
Partners
to
intervene
by
continuing
continuing
to
educate
ourselves
in
understanding
the
science
behind
the
violence.
Through
our
collaboration
with
our
esteemed
colleagues
at
Roca,
we
will
continue
to
Champion
our
active
role
as
Community
Protectors
of
those
challenged
with
substance
abuse
and
mental
health
issues.
D
When
I
author,
the
first
very
first
grant
that
formulated
the
initial
Chelsea
Hub
way
back
in
2009
I,
was
educated
on
the
importance
of
the
need
of
a
holistic
programming
to
address
issues.
I
have
been
an
advocate
ever
since
name.
The
hidden
casualty
of
the
pandemic
addiction
is
an
ongoing
battle.
The
Center
for
Disease
Control
has
forecasted
an
increasing
cases
of
those
who
struggle.
D
We
are
compelled
to
recognize
and
prepare
for
the
imminent
delayed
effects
of
this
increase,
making
a
demand
for
resources
to
Aid
those
seeking
attract
to
recovery.
A
challenge
too
many
lives
have
been
lost.
The
Hub
and
I
work
with
the
not
Suffolk
Mental
Health
group
is
needed.
Now
more
than
ever,
I
am
committed
in
supporting
Chelsea's
core
non-profit
organizations
like
the
collaborative
CAPIC
and
so
many
selfless
others
that
are
the
Cornerstone
of
humanitarian
Aid
to
the
majority
of
our
underestimated
underserved
and
most
vulnerable
population.
D
They
have
helped
us
identify
the
missing
links
in
that
Community
safety
strategy
and
legitimize
policing
with
and
to
help
us
legitimize
policing
within
the
silent
population.
We
cannot
do
it
without
them.
I
look
forward
to
embarking
on
new
programming
to
close
gaps
in
service
and
promote
positive
and
trusted
dialogue
without
ever-changing
community
we
also
must
focus
on
each
of
Chelsea's
neighborhoods.
Each
has
unique
characteristics,
sometimes
those
come
with
complex
problems
that
call
for
the
officer
to
understand
the
district.
D
Personally,
given
that
expectation,
I
am
recommending
offices
back
to
each
neighborhood
and
expanding
the
successful
model
of
the
downtown
task
force
downtown
task
force
to
a
city-wide
initiative.
Just
remember:
all
Chelsea
offices
are
community
service
offices
to
the
command
staff
and
supervisory
offices
of
the
Chelsea
Police
Department
many
have
retired
over
the
last
two
years.
D
In
hundreds
of
years
of
combined
supervisory
experience
left
the
station
with
them
as
the
next
wave
of
offices
step
up,
they
will
lack
the
Gap
in
institutional
knowledge
that
cannot
be
learned
from
any
book,
but
from
you,
mentorship
supervision
and
integrity
will
need
to
be
imparted.
We
are
only
good
as
those
we
have
trained.
This
is
your
time
to
emerge
as
leaders
and
I
Empower
you
to
shape
the
future
of
our
organization
to
our
Patrol
offices.
You
are
tasked
with
performing
many
demanding
responsibilities
outside
of
traditional
law
enforcement.
D
You
are
expected
to
make
difficult
decisions
and
you
are
judged
on
those
moments.
It
is
not
easy.
I
will
do
all
that
I
can
to
see
that
you
are
properly
trained,
equipped,
supervised
and
supported,
I.
Believe
in
you
I
know.
The
community
believes
in
you
I
pledge
also
to
establish
a
fair
process
to
maximize
talent
in
a
culturally
diverse
Workforce,
preparing
you
for
positions
in
specialized
roles
and
as
instructors
I
will
create
opportunities
to
further
equity
and
inclusion
in
the
department
that
reflect
the
demographic
of
this
community.
D
D
D
I
would
like
to
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge,
acknowledge
the
Command
Staff
that
I
have
been
honored
to
serve
with
for
so
many
years.
Captain
Thomas
Dunn,
whose
leadership
in
developing
policy
and
programming
demonstrates
our
commitment
in
delivering
exemplary
Police
Service
to
the
community
every
day,
Captain
David
Bachelor,
who
will
be
retiring
at
the
end.
This
month
will
be
missed.
However,
we
will
be
lucky,
as
he
only
moves
down
the
street
to
embark
on
a
new
career
with
Roka.
D
We
will
continue
to
tap
into
his
vast
knowledge
on
training
and
roca's,
always
Innovative
programming
and
Captain
Bill
Dana,
who
will
spearhead
back
to
the
neighborhood
initiatives.
His
Hands-On
approach
and
commitment,
commitment
to
officer
initiated
neighborhood
patrols
will
enhance
neighborhood
safety.
D
I
also
want
to
thank
my
family
and
friends
for
being
here
tonight
to
share
this
memory
with
me.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
acknowledge
my
mother,
I
guess
you
could
call
she
could
hold
the
title
of
Patron
Saint
of
First
Responders
in
the
city.
She
has
lived
and
witnessed
her
father-in-law,
my
father
two
brothers,
Robert
and
callawaya
tonight
all
answer
the
call
to
the
Chelsea
fight
apartment.
D
D
D
Lastly,
I
want
to
thank
my
two
wonderful
children,
Brennan
and
Bailey
I
have
been
lucky
to
witness
and
share
so
many
great
moments
and
memories
with
you
throughout
your
lives.
The
last
time
you
were
both
here
in
this
chamber
was
over
20
years
ago.
When
Bailey,
you
were
only
two
and
Brennan
was
only
five
when
I
was
promoted
to
Captain.
I
am
just
so
glad
that
I
get
to
cherish
something
that
we
both
can
remember
together.
D
Then
there's
Rosemary
I
am
blessed
to
have
a
best
friend
Mentor
partner.
That's
always
there.
For
me
she
is
my
true
unsung
hero.
She
never
takes
credit
for
anything
and
has
done
all
the
process
for
me
to
go
through
this
cheese
process.
Rosemary.
You
are
truly
the
first.
The
reason
why
I'm
here
tonight.
D
A
Okay
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
being
here
tonight
and
also
want
to
say
hello
and
also
announce
that
our
former
School
Committee
Member
Jimmy
Dwyer
and
former
School
Committee
Member,
now
Clerk
of
Magistrate
Courts
in
Chelsea.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here
to
make
this
a
special
night
for
chief
Holden,
and
we
wish
you
all
safety
on
your
way
home
we're
going
to
take
a
five
minute
recess.
So
you
can
take
pictures
with
your
family,
your
friends
out
in
the
podium.
A

H
B
Park
development,
State,
elderly
disabled
residents,
worth
over
7
million
to
renovate
the
56
units
and
a
community
room.
However,
as
peho
Redevelopment
project
was
awarded
in
2016
and
groundbreaking
in
2022,
total
155
million
dollar
project,
whereas
the
Housing
Authority
residents
always
believed
in
Al,
and
his
team
now
therefore
be
resolved
that
we're
the
members
of
the
Chelsea
city
council
was
to
go
on
record
as
to
recognize
the
work
of
the
as
executive
director
for
the
city
of
Chelsea.
Housing.
Authority
we
congratulate
you
and
wish
you
many
years
of
happiness
and
good
health
upon
your
retirement.
E
I
told
you
my
mother
works
at
Chelsea.
Housing
has
worked
there
for
for
many
years
and
I've
gotten
to
see
a
lot
of
the
different
directors
growing
up
and
I
was
someone
that
was
really
when
I
was
president
of
this
Council.
He
always
kept
in
touch
always
kept
us
updated
and
abreast
of
what
was
going
on
in
the
community
on
a
personal
level.
E
He
had
family
members
that
had
suffered
from
the
same
autoimmune
condition
that
I,
am
he
always
reached
out
made
sure
that
I
was
okay,
always
told
me
to
prioritize
my
health
and
and
always
served
as
like
a
really
positive
Mentor
in
the
community.
So
it's
a
big
loss
for
us,
I
I
do
feel
confident
that
there
are.
E
I
City
and
the
Housing
Authority
will
miss
Mr
algon.
He
was
a
great
person.
He
is
a
great
person,
I
hope
them
all.
The
luck
in
retirement
enjoys
himself
while
he
was
here,
he
was
a
perfect
person
to
run
the
Housing.
Authority
I
had
the
pleasure
of
knowing
him
for
all
these
years
and
it's
an
honor
to
say
that
I
know.
Mr,
Ewing
and
good
luck
in
your
retirement
enjoy
the
rest
of
your
life.
J
So
I
just
want
to
Echo
what
my
fellow
counselors
have
already
said:
Al
Ewing
is
a
great
guy
and
I
wish
him
all.
The
luck
in
retirement
and
I'm
happy
to
have
known
him,
and
he
was
a
he's.
A
counselor
vido
said
it's
a
great
loss
for
the
city,
I'm
sure
we'll
we'll
get
through,
but
but
very
sad
to
see.
Him
go
he's
a
great
guy
and
Al
good
luck.
F
A
If
I
made
from
chair
just
very
briefly
any
objections,
thank
you,
sir
councilor,
so
I
just
want
to
wish
him
very
well
and
his
retirement,
his
health,
continuing
speed,
health
and
fun
and
enjoyment
of
the
rest
of
his
retirement
and,
as
it
all
has
been
said,
he's
done
a
remarkable
job
with
our
housing
authority
and
he
leaves
us
in
good
shape,
as
some
of
the
councils
has
mentioned,
with
qualified
folks.
So
I
look
forward
to
working
continuously
with
the
Housing
Authority.
It's
a
city,
councilor.
A
F
Coming
here
today
to
speak
about
the
importance
of
transparency
in
city
government
last
week,
despite
the
city
of
solicitor,
making
it
clear
that
it
was
illegal
to
do
so
and
making
it
clear
that
you
know
the
appointment
process
for
the
city
council
vacancy
needed
to
be
completely
transparent
and
open.
The
city
council
made
a
deliberate
decision
to
keep
their
ballots
for
the
appointment.
Secret
After
councilor
Vado,
mentioned
that
this
was
not
allowed.
F
The
city
council
decided
to
vote
on
the
matter,
which
was
not
up
for
debate
because
it
was
illegal
to
do
so,
and
it
was
a
matter
of
the
law
and
counselors
Judith
Garcia
1080
Garcia
Melinda
Vega,
Calvin
Brown
and
noriel
De
Jesus
voted
against
putting
their
names
on
their
ballots
where
they
ranked
the
city
council
candidates.
My
husband,
Roberto
Jimenez
Rivera,
filed
a
complaint
about
this
illegal
action
because,
like
me,
he
cares
a
lot
about
transparency
in
government.
F
Why
am
I
coming
here
to
rehash
all
of
this,
which
we
already
know
what
happened
last
week
here
in
this
room,
because
this
is
a
larger
issue
than
just
one
illegal
action
that
was
taken.
The
subcommittee
where
this
happened
was
not
recorded,
so
the
people
who
are
listening
to
this
meeting
right
now
here
at
home,
weren't
able
to
see
what
happened
or
hear
the
discussion,
and
they
wouldn't
know
how
people
voted
on
that
matter
unless
they
went
and
looked
up
the
notes
which
are
hard
to
find
anyway.
F
So
this
is
the
Crux
of
what
I
want
to
talk
about
today.
Even
for
someone,
who's
got
a
lot
of
Education
a
lot
of
time,
a
lot
of
privilege.
It's
really
hard
to
figure
out,
what's
happening
in
city
council
and
in
other
government
Bodies
In
The
City,
the
residents
that
the
city
council
represents.
They
don't
have
the
time
to
visit,
to
attend
every
single
meeting
and
listen
to
everything.
F
And
so
that's
why,
as
much
as
possible,
everything
should
be
televised
or
streamed
and
recorded,
and
shout
out
to
Ricky
Velez
and
all
of
everyone
at
Chelsea,
Community,
cable
for
doing
this
important
work,
because
what
they
do.
Isn't
it's
not
just
about
cable.
It's
about
transparency
in
government
I
have
a
friend
who
watches
City
Council
meetings.
While
he
puts
his
kids
to
sleep,
I've
done
the
same
on
multiple
occasions,
catch
up
on
zba
meetings
or
school
committee
meetings,
and
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
that
if
they
weren't
streamed.
F
There's
no
reason
that
you
can't
broadcast
subcommittees
the
school
committee
broadcast
subcommittees,
even
if
they're
only
15
minutes
long,
it's
possible
and
there's
no
reason
not
to
do
it.
If
the
city
council
has
not
nothing
that
they're
trying
to
hide
on
a
separate
matter,
I
also
suggest
that
the
council
consider
other
things
that
can
make
the
dealings
of
the
city
more
transparent,
especially
agendas
and
minutes.
Instead
of
scanning
printed
copies
of
agendas
in
minutes
which
aren't
searchable,
you
could
post
ones
that
are
searchable.
F
So,
if
you
hit
like
Ctrl
F,
you
can
actually
easily
find
something
in
the
meeting
minutes,
because
sometimes
they're
really
long,
it's
hard
to
read
I
can't
find
what
I'm
looking
for
when
I'm.
Looking
at
like
past
planning
board
things
or
zba
things,
you
know
you'd
be
surprised
what
a
difference.
A
small
change
like
that
can
make
for
residents
who
are
trying
to
find
information
in
addition,
voice
recognition
technology
has
gotten
really
good,
so
it's
actually
really
easy
and
cheap
to
do
automatic
transcriptions.
F
I'd
love
to
see
all
these
things
searchable,
meaning
agendas,
minutes
full
transcriptions,
all
posted
online,
with
streams
and
recordings
in
a
systematic
way,
not
just
when
the
council
feels
like
it.
Another
thing
is
that
when
the
documents
are
searchable
in
this
way,
then
you
can
actually
copy
and
paste
them
into
Google
translate,
so
it
even
makes
it
more
accessible.

B
Communication,
we
have
appointments
and
boards
dear
council
is
pursuant
to
section
4-2
of
the
China
City
of
Chelsea
I'm,
going
to
recommend
the
following
individuals
for
boards
and
commissions
in
the
city
for
reappointment
to
the
board
of
registrars
or
voters.
Mr
Jacob
Resnick
68
captains
wrote
in
a
rear

for
a
three-year
term
expiring
on
December
22nd
2025
from
therefore
appointment
to
the
community
recreation,
Advisory
Board
Mr,
Nicholas,
Valentine,

Tudor,

for
a
three-year

B
And
the
last
communication
from
the
city
manager
request
for
appropriation
of
overly
Surplus
to
the
assessors
Department
dear
council.
Is
everybody
to
request
that
a
city
council
approve
a
transfer
of
funds?
Totaling
83
000
from
the
overlay
Surplus
account
to
the
Assessor's
Department
in
order
to
pay
for
outside
consultant
assistance
in
that
office,
specifically,
the
assessors
are
seeking
outside
help
for
three
projects:
the
updated
evaluation
of
commercial
properties,
focusing
on
retail
and
Office
Space,
GIS
mapping,
work
and
personal
property
evaluation
and
Industry
specific
personal
property
valuation
reviews.
B
A
E
B
H
G
B
A
B
B
I
So
I
don't
see
why
they
wouldn't
try
to
do
it,
at
least
for
the
water
to
help
up,
because
water
bill
is
like
a
mortgage
in
our
city.
The
water
bill
is
very
high.
So
if
we
can
help
out
the
homeowners
and
return,
the
homeowners
will
help
out
the
tenants,
because
the
tenants
are
the
ones
in
the
final
outcome
they
will
pay.
I
I
I
Who
supervises
them?
How
do
they
go?
You
know,
I,
really,
don't
understand
how
you
have
three
people
and
a
machine
goes
to
an
answering
machine.
I
didn't
I,
didn't
know
myself
until
someone
called
me
and
then
I
tried
it
and
that's
what
it
did
so
now
I
would
like
maybe
later
on
the
city
manager
can
enhance
our
view
on
how
these
people
operate,
and
there
should
always
be
someone
there,
man
in
these
phones.
Otherwise
what
is
the
point
that
3-1-1?
What
do
we
need
them
for?
We
don't
need
them.
If
that's
the
case,
thank
you.
I
H
11.,
when
someone
calls
and
that
person
doesn't
speak
Spanish,
they
don't
try
to
talk
in
Spanish
to
the
people.
Also,
the
phone
calls
go
to
NASA
machine
and
they
said
no
one
answers
so
I.
You
know
I
agree,
thank
councilor
recuper
for
bringing
this
up
that
you
know.
There's
some
answers
to
be.
You
know
give
to
our
community
people
who
call
now
we
got
a
problem
with
this
mattresses
and
all
that
stuff.
We're
gonna,
they're
gonna
get
more
calls.
H
J
But
but
really
some
improvement
needs
to
be
made
on
the
3-1-1.
If
we're
going
to
stick
with
this
system,
otherwise
I
think
we
need
to
figure
out
something
else,
because
this
is
not
just
complaining
up
here.
This
is
real
feedback
coming
from
the
community,
and
you
know
you
guys
need
to
hear
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
E
B
Next,
on
introduced
by
Council
of
video,
ordered
that
his
subcommittee
on
conference
be
held
with
the
CCTV
it
city
manager
to
discuss
the
streaming
of
all
city
council
subcommittee
subcommittee.
Furthermore,
to
discuss
building
capacity
and
allow
for
remote
meetings
to
promote
Civic
engagement
and
meet
demand.
E
E
You
Mr
chairman,
so
respect
with
with
what
the
what
the
resident
spoke
earlier
about.
Transparency
since
I've,
been
on
the
council,
I
made
sure
to
make
that
a
lot
of
these
City
Council
meetings
were
publicized
on
Facebook
on
social
media
and
I,
respect
and
appreciate
the
city
managers
support
in
hiring
folks
to
support
the
social
media.
We
fix
up
the
website.
We
really
have
done
all
we
can
to
get
information
out
there.
E
I
think
it
should
be
flat
and
something
that
we
just
do
so.
We
can
allow
other
people
to
see
what's
going
on
behind
the
doors
I'm,
not
accusing
anybody
of
doing
anything,
Sinister
or
or
inappropriate,
but
I
just
think
that
the
community
at
large
does
better
when
they
see
all
the
conversations
that
are
happening
behind
the
scenes.
So
we
can
be
open
and
transparent
about
what's
going
on
in
local
government,
it's
2023,
there
are
so
many
ways
in
which
we
can
do
this.
E
So
what
I
want
us
to
do
is
have
a
meeting
and
to
discuss
with
it
the
city
manager
and
figure
out
what
he's
willing
to
invest,
and
my
my
experience
with
the
city
manager
tells
me
that
he's
all
about
transparency
and
that
he's
going
to
be
on
board
with
this
I
I,
don't
think
that's
wishful
thinking,
and
so
what
I
hope
is
for
us
to
decide
what
meetings
are
we
streaming?
Are
we
going
to
stream
them
all?
If
we're
going
to
do
that?
E
What
does
that
look
like
for
I.T,
because
we
also
have
orders
where
we're
streaming
zbas
planning
and
those
things
should
also
not
go
unnoticed.
Do
we
need
to
set
specific
days
where
we
have
all
subcommittee
meetings
to
make
sure
that
it's
always
that
it's
happening
here,
that
we
have
the
capacity
to
be
able
to
record
it?
E
E
Think
it's
something
we
need
to
move
forward
and
perfect,
but
because
there's
so
many
hiccups
with
electronics,
I
think
it's
worth
the
conversation
with
Ramon
and
I.T
to
figure
out
exactly
how
we
make
that
happen
and
and
how
how
we
just
bring
Civ
people
want
to
know
what's
going
on.
But
people
have
Boggle
down
with
two
three
jobs:
they're
tired
the
meeting
sometimes
go
on
too
late,
and
they
shouldn't
have
to
miss
out
on
decisions
that
are
being
made
that
affect
them
simply
because
they
can't
be
here
and
I
think
because
we
have
the
capacity.
E
J
This
happens
in
this
city
when
a
certain
click
of
people
want
to
do
something
and
they
just
arrange
for
behind
the
scenes,
and
it
just
goes
through.
So
what
I?
What
I
really
would
like
to
see
done
is
have
as
much
video
streaming
of
of
all
the
proceedings
like
counselor
Vado
had
said
so
that
people
can
actually
figure
out
what
is
going
on
and
what
they
want
to
go
on,
because
for
some
of
us
up
here
who
who
desperately
try
to
engage
the
public
on
things
it's
hard
because
they
really
don't.
J
They
really
don't
know,
and
we
need
to
change
that.
We
need
to
be
a
better
government
and
I.
Think
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
key
ways
that
we
can
you
know
if
they
can
see
what
we're
all
discussing,
they
can
be
a
part
of
it.
They
can
form
an
opinion
they
can.
They
can
then
call
us
up
and
say:
hey.
You
know
what
I
agreed
with
this
counselor
on
X,
Y
and
Z.
How
do
we
get
this
done
or
whatever
that's
what
that's
really?
J
What
good
government
should
be,
and
so
I
would
ask
all
my
colleagues
here
to
support
support
this
in
in
the
conference
and
talk
about
ways
to
expand
what
we
already
have
and
with
with
all
the
leftover
money
that
we
have
in
the
budget
shouldn't
be
any
problem
trying
to
do
that
so
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
I
L
I
am
in
total
agreement,
I
honestly
thought
that
the
subcommittee
meetings
were
automatically
recorded.
I
had
no
idea,
they
weren't,
but
I
think
that
we
should
definitely
take
into
consideration
and
looking
at
how
the
school
committee
does
their
subcommittees
remotely,
because
some
of
the
subcommittee
meetings
are
15-minute
long
meetings
and
you
know
we
we're
all
very
busy,
but
the
work
still
needs
to
get
done,
and
some
of
us
can't
make
it
I
also
have
an
autoimmune
deficiency
disorder,
but
you
know
the
time
and
day
that
I
I
cannot
make
it.
L
I
would
like
to
be
part
of
it
right.
So
I
think
that
we
should
definitely
look
at
how
the
school
committee
portrays
themselves
and
structures
themselves,
and
we
have
a
lot
to
learn
from
them.
Honestly,
I'm,
very,
very
proud
of
how
the
school
committee
you
know
is,
is
completely
transparent
and
is
accessible
through
Zoom,
so
I
think
it's
something
that
we
should
consider.
I
I
You
know
and
I
can't
figure
it
out
myself,
sometimes
how
it
is
so
I.
Don't
think
all
of
us
here
really
understand
every
little
piece,
that's
involved,
but
it
should
be
more
transparent
and
to
actually
see
what
we
do
and
then
the
people
can
ask
us.
Questions
like
counselor
said,
can
ask
us
and
can
determine
what
do
the
counselors
do
for
them.
Why
you
know
what
I
mean
this
is
the
greatest
thing,
I
think
it's
a
good
thing
for
them
to
understand
what
we
actually
do
here.
I
M
Yeah
I
agree
with
this
I
think
that
this
is
extremely
important
for
us
to
be
fully
transparent
and
I.
Do
think
that
it
would
support
our
community
to
be
more
civically
engaged
in
I
also
think
that
it
would
support
us
working
better
as
a
united
front
because
it
would
hold
us
accountable,
so
I
love
that
idea,
so
I
am
in
complete.
M
A
A
E
I
have
brought
this
up
so
many
times,
Mr
ambrosino,
but
when
we
have
public
meetings
that
start
at
six
and
the
doors
are
locked,
the
handicap
entrance
doors
are
locked.
We
are
telling
disabled
people
Elder
people
or
folks
who
function
differently,
that
they
are
not
welcome
in
city,
government
and
I
know
that
you're
tired
of
hearing
this
I
know
we've
had
Personnel
shifts
in
the
DPW
Department
I
understand,
but
it
is.
It
is
completely
ridiculous
that
we
cannot
get
it
together.
E
The
door
should
be
open,
maybe
15,
minutes
before
a
meeting,
but
there's
no
reason
for
me
to
have
to
chip
my
pretty
little
nails
banging
on
the
door
for
someone
to
come
and
open
the
door.
We
are
a
public
entity,
we
provide
a
public
service
and
the
public
is
always
welcome
to
attend,
but
we're
sending
the
wrong
message
and
I'm
really
getting
tired
of
having
to
say
that
over
and
over.
Thank
you.
M
L
I
just
wanted
to
mention
it's
freezing
out
and
I
went
to
go
pick
up
my
son
last
week
and
saw
a
little
girl
in
shorts
with
no
socks
and
no
one
did
anything.
Absolutely
anything,
not
the
teacher,
not
anyone
so
I
just
want
us
to
be
a
little
humane
and
sometimes
just
look
and
and
feel
the
need
and
and
help
out.
You
know
we're
not
it's
just
it's
horrible
to
think
that
a
little
girl
is
out
there
with
you
know
cold.
L
So
my
sister
and
I
have
started
a
cold
Drive.
We've
already
started.
Collecting
and
I'm
literally
gonna
stand
out
in
the
school
to
see
if
whoever
needs
a
jacket.
So
whoever
has
a
clean
nice
jacket
hanging
around,
we
will
be
collecting
them.
My
number
is
public.
Just
give
me
a
call,
I'll
pick
him
up
if
I
have
to,
but
there
is
a
need
out
there
and
and
I
think
that
we
have
to
be
more
proactive
with
our
children.
L
J
So
this
Thursday
December
8th,
the
Chelsea
Rotary,
will
be
outside
of
Market
Basket
ringing
the
bell
for
the
Salvation
Army.
So
if
you'd
like
to
come
by
and
give
a
little
something
for
for
our
local
Salvation
Army,
who
actually
has
a
new
major?
So
not
not
just
a
captain
but
a
major
so
come
on,
come
on
down
to
Market
Basket
on
Thursday
and
give
a
little
something
to
the
red
Kettle.
Thank.

A
H
H
I
A
You
have
one
so
I
also
have
a
moment
of
silence
for
a
good
friend,
a
long
time,
Chelsea
resident
business
owner
that
passed
away,
Dicky
Fung
he
lived
on
the
corner,
actually
lived
on
your
street
on
Jones
Ave.
He
passed
away,
I
believe
he's
91
years
old.
He
owned
the
cleaners
back
in
the
days
here.
He
worked
at
the
local
Chinese
restaurant.
