City of Chelsea
A
C

A
We
have
a
resolution
introduced
by
council
recupera
regarding
italian
heritage
month,
whereas
october
is
the
month
that
many
italian
heritage
celebrate
with
so
many
others
in
italian
festivals,
all
throughout
the
boston
area,
whereas
italian
heritage
is
richly
entwined
in
the
history
of
our
country.
This
heritage
did
not
begin
with
with
the
well-known
voyages
of
americo
vespucci,
whom
our
country
was
named
after
continues
to
be
present
in
the
fields
of
exploration,
science,
the
arts,
literature,
as
well
as
business
and
development,
and
whereas
italians
and
those
of
italian
descent
have
made
it
remarkable
contributions
to
our
nation.
A
The
list
is
quite
long.
American
history
is
replete
with
citizens
of
italian
headlineage,
including
the
signing
of
the
declaration
of
independence
and
the
formation
of
the
us
constitution.
Italian
americans
have
fought
in
every
war
from
revolutionary
war
to
recent
conflicts
and
deserves
of
distinction,
including
several
congressional
medal
of
honor
recipients.
A
D
D
The
italians
were
the
only
race,
the
only
race
on
earth
that
had
a
distinct
effect
on
mankind
that
had
a
distinct
effect
on
mankind,
three
different
times,
one
they
had
it
with
the
roman
empire,
which
gave
roads,
soldiers
and
everything.
The
second
was
the
set
renaissance,
where
they
had
great
artists,
great
painters
in
the
first
schools
of
medicines
and
everything,
and
the
third
was
the
art.
D
What
many
I
think
which
what
we
still
have
today,
his
enrico
fermi,
which
did
split
the
atom
marconi,
which
gave
you
the
radio
mauchi,
which
gave
you
the
telephone
and
many
and
volta
which
gave
you
the
battery,
but
that's
just
a
few
things
what
they
did,
but
that's
not
what
italians
are.
Italians
is
a
race
of
latin
people
which
themselves
have
been
prejudiced
against,
were
discriminated
against
and
through
it
all
they
persevered
and
did
all
the
things
they
had
to
do
to
survive
in
our
great
nation.
D
That
is
one
thing,
and
here
I
like
I
said
mr
ambrosino.
He
contributes
to
our
city,
he's
our
italian
heritage
and
my
son,
which
he
spent.
He
went
to
two
different
wars
and
he's
a
boston
policeman,
and
I
forgot
to
mention
michelle
watson,
which
she
is
of
italian
origin
and
she
contributes
to
our
city
too.
D
D
They
were
discriminated
for
many
many
years
when
they
came
here.
A
lot
of
them
had
to
change
their
names
because
of
who
they
were.
They
had
to
change
their
last
names.
There
was
a
generation
back
in
the
30s
and
20s.
They
wanted
to
assimilate
so
much
to
be
americans
that
they
forgot
who
they
were.
They
forgot
that
they
were
italians,
there
were
latins,
they
forgot
who
they
were,
and
now
I
believe
that
most
of
us
understand
who
we
are
and
where
we
come
from,
and
it's
a
great
thing.
Thank
you.
E
You,
mr
president,
I
want
to
congratulate
council
for
bringing
a
resolution
as
custom.
We
recognize
on
all
of
our
heritages
and
all
our
accomplishments,
and
we
obviously
do
this
this
month
for
the
italian
american
heritage
month,
where
we
recognize
the
accomplishment
and
the
great
work
that
a
lot
of
italians
have
done
and
can
continue
to
do
so.
I
want
to
just
thank
my
colleagues
for
bringing
this
in
and
just
again
as
we
recognize
different
months
throughout
the
year.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
our
next
resolution
is
a
resolution
to
introduce
council
of
royale
vegeta
regarding
arbor
day
where,
on
october,
30th
2021,
the
city
of
chelsea
will
officially
celebrate
arbor
day
and,
as
part
of
this
special
day,
the
massachusetts
tree
warnings
and
foresters
and
association
will
come
to
the
city
of
chelsea
plant,
a
public
shade
tree
children,
parents,
community
leaders,
public
officials,
municipal
employees,
are
invited
to
participate
in
the
event
this
year.
The
the
event
is
to
ensure
the
city
maintains
its
status
as
tree
city
usa.
A
The
city
council
would
like
to
recognize
the
efforts
of
the
department
of
public
works
and
community
for
their
work
towards
improving
chelsea's
environment
via
the
enhanced
tree
program
for
securing
tree
city
usa
status
for
the
17th
year
in
a
row
and
for
having
successful,
2020
2021
arbor
day
event.
Council
naomi's
abbott
moves
to
adopt
this
under
suspension
on
a
roll,
no
suspension,
and
I
just
want
to
recognize
that
we
do
have
our
tree
warden
here
in
the
audience
our
dbw
commissioner,
fidel
maltese,
who
has
many
hats
in
the
community.
B
Marianne
pioneered
the
chelsea
senior
center
to
be
an
inclusive
center
for
all,
particularly
for
those
newly
migrated
from
the
countries
of
central
america
and
other
latin
american
regions
to
ensure
all
had
a
place
and
a
voice
in
the
community.
And
whereas
marianne
rainbow
served
as
chelsea's
elder
affairs,
outreach
program
coordinator
for
over
20
years
and
created
programs
of
cultural
diversity,
including
a
citizenship
class,
an
esl
class,
a
cultural
arts
program,
cultural
celebrations,
intergenerational
programs
and
programs
of
exploration
and
expression.
B
And
whereas
marianne
ramos,
through
her
admiration
for
art,
poetry
and
ethnic
inclusion,
helped
bridge
gaps
of
aging
and
prejudice.
And
whereas
marianne
ramos
retired
from
the
city
of
chelsea
on
june
30th.
2020.
Now,
therefore,
be
resolved
to
the
city
of
chelsea
and
the
chelsea
city
council
hereby
recognize
and
honor
ms
marianne
ramos
for
her
outstanding,
dedicated
service
to
the
city
of
chelsea.
C
Just
want
to
add
that
marianne
ramos
is
an
amazing
individual,
an
activist,
a
proponent
of
affordable
housing,
an
amazing
artist
that
she's
contributed
to
this
community
in
multiple
multiple
ways,
even
more
than
just
her
official
capacity
she's
been
a
mentor
to
me
and
amazing
support
and
and
really
advocating
for
folks
who
didn't
speak
english
over
at
the
senior
center,
and
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
just
thank
the
maker
of
the
resolution
because
she
definitely
this
is
well
overdue.
Thank
you.
E
E
She
was
out
there,
I'm
just
volunteering,
to
help
seniors
and
do
errands
for
seniors
and
making
sure
that
they
were
in
form
of
their
rights
and
also
the
service
that
the
city
had
so
it's
great
to
have
residents
in
the
city
to
volunteer
their
time
and
when
they
get
these
resolutions,
it's
good
for
us
to
thank
them
not
only
publicly,
but
also
privately,
for
the
work
and
the
service
that
they've
done
over
the
years.
Thank
you.
A
Well,
now
move
on
to
our
next
portion
of
our
agenda.
We
will
now
open
up
the
public
hearing
again.
This
is
public.
Hearing
on
the
city
of
chelsea
is
holding
a
public
hearing
regarding
its
home
rule
petition
introduced
by
counselor
of
agenda
regarding
proposed
charter
amendments
recommended
by
the
charter
review
committee.
A
copy
of
the
homeroom
petition
can
be
found
at
chelsea
city
office
or
we
can
buy
via
email
to
our
office.
So
again,
this
is
an
open
period
for
public
comment
on
the
amendments
proposed
on
a
charter.
G
Good
evening
you
hear
me:
okay,
good
good
evening,
roberto
jimenez
40
eleanor
street
at
large
member
of
the
chelsea
school
committee.
I
have
a
few
thoughts
on
all
these,
but
I
will
begin
with
councillor
zabi's
proposal
to
have
duly
elected
members
of
this
council
have
to
forfeit
their
duties
for
missing
meetings
without
being
excused
by
the
council.
G
It
is
absolutely
a
ridiculous
power
grab
more
so
when
it
is
done
by
simple
majority
vote,
when
each
of
you,
as
well
as
I
and
the
members
of
the
school
committee
are
elected,
it
is
the
voters
who
have
the
duty
and
power
to
oust
us,
not
anybody
else
in
terms
of
the
threshold
of
25
votes.
Again,
it
is
setting
a
bar
for
democracy.
G
The
bar
should
be
whatever
the
voters
said.
If
we,
if
we
do
not
make
voting
mandatory
for
everyone,
then
whoever
wants
to
turn
out
turns
out,
and
that
is
what
we
get
right.
We
don't
get
to
choose
the
voters
who
who
elect
us
right.
We
just
we
have
the
we
have
to
go
out
there
and
get
votes
and
whoever
votes,
votes
and
whoever
wins
wins
and
whoever
loses
loses
right
like
we
do
not.
We
should
not
be
setting
thresholds
for
democracy.
G
We
know
that
we
went
through
this
process
already
right.
We
moved
from
an
all
that
large
body
to
to
a
system
that
has
districts
right.
We
know
that
district
systems
work
better
to
represent
the
people
of
a
city,
especially
when
there
are
demographic
differences
between
those
different
districts.
So
I
think
it
would
be
ridiculous
to
go
backwards.
This
is
at
least
one
step
backward,
if
not
two,
so
I
would
ask
that
all
of
these
are
voted
down.
Thank
you.
H
H
H
It
also
has
to
do
with
language
justice
which,
in
this
city,
we
fought
to
have
credit
to
the
people
who
fought
so
that
we
could
have
translated
ballots
in
our
city,
credit
to
the
people
who
fought
so
that
we
could
have
district
seats
and
those
are
things
that
perhaps
other
people
that
might
be
newer
to
our
city.
Don't
understand,
but
it's
very
fundamental
to
the
fabric
and
history
of
this
immigrant
city,
the
people
who
have
made
these
decisions
at
that
time
because
of
receivership
in
the
early
2000s
we've
come
a
long
way.
H
We've
put
in
a
lot
of
work
and
our
families
in
our
community
feel
better
that
we
have
more
equitable
representation,
and
I
think
that
it
would
be
a
huge
disservice
to
go
back
in
time
and
pretend
that
that
wouldn't
be
that
that
wouldn't
be
a
disservice
to
the
city
of
chelsea.
If
any
of
the
counselors
want
to
talk
to
me
more
about
that,
I
make
myself
available.
My
number
is
public.
It
sits
on
the
chelsea
public
schools
website
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
anyone
might
have.
H
I
Hi
susan
baxter,
I
live
at
260
clark,
ave
number
807
in
chelsea,
and
I
was
going
to
speak
about
a
lot
of
the
different
things
in
the
in
the
city
council.
Meeting
that
are
coming
up,
but
lion's
share
of
what
I'd
like
to
talk
about
is
the
home
petition,
the
home
rules
petition,
and
so
thank
you,
mr
president,
thank
you,
counselors
and
special
thanks
to
city
manager,
tom
ambrosino,
for
putting
my
name
forward
again
for
the
chelsea
disability
commission
for
three
years.
I
am
really
honored
and
I'm
really
excited
to
continue
to
serve.
I
I
I
I
The
the
number
25
is
arbitrary,
because
if
15
people,
if
25
people,
vote
and
50
people
vote
for
this
person
and
then
10
or
15
people
vote
for
the
writing
candidate
and
then
10
votes
for
the
the
one
who
put
in
the
time
to
do
it.
The
writing
candidate
should
win
even
if
they
didn't
get
any
more
than
15,
because
they
have
gotten
more
of
more
than
a
majority
of
the
votes.
It's
it.
I
Let's
see
amendment
3
states
that
any
disability,
the
ada
states
that
any
disability
needs
to
be
accommodated
like
even
absences.
If
someone
is
a
servant
of
the
community
and
they
have,
they
have
an
issue
that
they
are
dealing
with,
and
this
issue
is
known
by
the
community
by
the
their
fellow
counselors
by
the
the
media
by
the
their
their
own
social
media,
their
social
networks.
That
person
has
made
it
clear
that
what
they're
going
through
is
really
important
if
they
can't
show
up,
because
they
need
mental
health.
I
Help
like
like,
we
saw
in
the
olympics,
if
they
can't
show
up
because
they
need
they
they've,
they
thought
they
would
be
able
to
go
they're
all
dressed
and
ready,
and
they
can't
make
it
because
they
spend
the
rest
of
the
the
evening
in
their
lavatory
because
of
incontinence
or
whatever.
That
is.
That
is
something
that
is
known.
It's
a
known,
quantity
and
it
can
be
communicated.
I
It
has
to
be
case
by
case
and
people
by
people
and
situation
by
situation,
because
that's
what
the
ada
says
we
are
responsible
for
as
citizens.
It
says
that
that
we
extend
to
the
to
other
people
the
the
the
power
to
to
manage
their
own
life
and
and
stuff
like
that,
and
then
amendment
four
is
basically
repeating
amendment
two
and
that
whoever
gets
the
vote.
The
most
votes
for
school
committee
should
win.
The
school
committee
25
seems
to
be
an
arbitrary
number
and
then
amendment
5
and
amendment
6.
I
have
no
argument.
J
J
G
J
J
I
also
came
back
here
to
discuss
the
petition.
I
do
believe
that
three
meetings
this
this
this
question
of
three
meetings
it
it
doesn't
tell
me
enough.
I
don't
know
if
it's
because
and
if
you
look
at
the
calendar,
you
know
of
the
meetings
that
the
city
of
chelsea
has
the
office
of
city
clerk
last
year
january:
6
2020,
13
january
27th.
G
J
You
know
for
bereavement,
you
have
10
days
now
whether
the
employer
asks
for
proof
afterwards,
that's
a
little
different,
but
you
have
10
days
to
you
know.
If
bereavement
occurs
what
else
so
yeah,
I
also
would
say
to
think
about
the
ada
disability
laws,
as
we
have
with
the
covid
that
is
still
around,
even
though
we
do
have
a
choice
of
three
different
vaccines
that
you
can
have,
hopefully
also
inclement
weather.
J
I
mean,
if
you
want
to
set
a.
How
can
we
say
want
to
set
a
rule
for
attendance?
Maybe
that's
one
thing,
but
I
do
believe
it
needs
to
be
better
worded
and
there
are
actual
situations
you
know
because,
whatever
rule
you
say,
if
somebody's
going
to
abuse
it
they're
going
to
abuse
it,
but
you
have
to
set
a
healthy
parameter.
J
What
else
and
of
course
we
want
to
be
reminded
of
the
wording
in
what
three
paragraphs
of
the
chelsea
city
charter
of
pharyn,
just
thinking
of
you,
know
fair
and
justin
and
honest
chelsea
conduct,
and
we
need
to
be
right.
We
need
to
be
reminded
of
it,
because
that's
why
people
vote
for
you
to
have
you
know
good
conduct
and
ethics
correct
all
of
us
right.
J
A
Seeing
no
one
else
at
this
time,
we'll
now
move
on
to
the
next
portion
of
our
meeting,
which
is
public
speaking
at
this
time.
If
anyone
would
like
to
address
the
council
on
any
of
the
items
that
are
on
the
agenda,
feel
free,
please
come
up
to
the
microphone
state,
your
name,
your
address,
you'll,
have
four
minutes.
G
Hello,
everyone
roberto
jimenez,
rivera
40
eleanor
street
and
that
large
member
of
the
chelsea
school
committee,
I'm
here
to
speak
on
the
order
to
disapprove
on
borrowing
and
authorizing
debt
for
a
new
building
for
the
northeast
vo
tech.
Some
context
for
those
watching
at
home.
There
was
a
presentation
from
their
leadership
prior
to
this
meeting,
and
that
is
what
I
am
responding
to.
G
The
gentleman
from
northeast
are
asking
us
to
prioritize
238
chelsea
students
over
6
600
students
in
chelsea,
currently
in
chelsea
public
schools
and
the
over
45
000
residents
of
the
city,
not
only
that
but
they're
asking
us
to
prioritize
over
a
thousand
students
who
are
not
from
chelsea
over
the
people
of
the
city.
That
is
just
preposterous
and
shows
a
complete
lack
of
equity
in
the
way
that
this
new
building
is
being
funded.
G
G
G
Framing
our
inability
to
pay
as
not
caring
about
these
students
is
honestly
a
little
disgusting
and
when
we
talk
about
equity
and
they
brought
up
that
these
communities
pay
more
per
people
than
we
do.
That
is
equity.
We
pay
less
because
of
the
demographics
and
resources
of
our
community
and
our
students.
G
Beyond
that,
I'm
not
sure
if
you've
heard
chelsea
has
been
struggling
with
covet
more
than
other
districts.
To
reference
the
metaphor
that
the
northeast
superintendent
mentioned
it's
a
little
hard
to
pay
for
braces
for
your
child.
When
you
don't
have
enough
money
to
put
food
on
the
table
or
keep
a
roof
over
your
head,
my
other
question
is:
how
are
we
just
now
figuring
out
that
this
will
be
such
a
major
problem?
G
G
Our
city
cannot
afford
this,
and
I
would
encourage
the
council
to
support
the
city
manager's
recommendation.
I
would
also
encourage
everyone
involved
in
this
to
seek
relief
from
the
state
in
any
way,
shape
or
form.
Since
it
looks
like
there
are
some
situations
and
scenarios
in
which
we
will
have
to
do
this.
There
has
to
be
a
way
to
make
this
happen
so
that
we
don't
prioritize
a
thousand
students
from
other
cities
over
either
the
six
thousand
plus
students
in
chelsea
public
schools
or
the
forty
plus
thousand
residents
of
this
city.
Thank
you.
H
H
I'm
here
today
to
also
express
extreme
concern
about
the
presentation
that
we
were
able
to
receive
from
the
superintendent
of
northeast
and
also
concerned
about,
what's
being
proposed
in
front
of
us
today
during
my
two
years
on
school
committee.
One
of
the
first
tasks
that
I
did
was
certainly
ask
about
previous
agreements
and
contracts
and
budget.
As
someone
who
attended
northeast
folk.
In
my
my
10th
grade,
as
in
10th
grade,
I
had
moved
from
chelsea,
high
and
transitioned
to
northeast.
H
Currently,
as
a
chair
of
the
policy
and
procedure
subcommittee,
I'm
known
for
researching
and
digging
and
looking
at
where
these
agreements
have
been
made-
and
you
know
I
reached
out
to
mr
michael
wall,
who
is
the
elected
representative
for
chelsea
and
have
not
received
any
return
phone
call
any
communications
in
the
last
month
and
a
half.
I
asked
the
superintendent
tonight
for
our
representative
and
he
did
say
that
mr
wall
has
not
been
well,
so
I
sent
my
best
regards
to
him
and
to
his
family.
H
All
that
said,
we
have
elected
representatives
that
serve
us
in
the
northeast
board
and
I
think
we
should
be
asking
questions
as
a
community
about
that
representation
and
when
these
decisions
are
being
made.
I
don't
know
when
this
proposal
came
to
light.
There
were
numerous
statements
tonight
saying
that
this
was
not
the
first
time
that
the
city
heard
of
this.
H
I
don't
know
how
the
details
and
credibility
of
that
statement,
but
I
think
it
is
imperative
that
we
also,
as
school
committee
members
and
city
councilors,
make
sure
that
we're
also
reviewing
these
agreements
and
that
we're
able
to
come
to
the
table
and
advocate
for
our
community,
because
we
know,
what's
best
for
our
community,
in
particular,
about
the
enrollments
and
admissions.
Just
today.
The
massachusetts
association
of
school
committees
sent
us
a
communication
that
deci
is
in
fact
looking
to
review
this,
and
it
is
a
huge
huge
win
for
the
city
of
chelsea.
H
H
Lastly,
to
the
superintendent's
comment
about
you
know,
college
is
not
cut
out
for
every
kid
we
deserve
to
make
our
own
choices
about
what's
best
for
ourselves.
In
this
moment,
my
kids
personally
have
attended
a
wide
variety
of
programming.
That
is
not
college
based
a
traditional
college
base,
and
my
son
has
one
of
the
a
very
good
paying
job
right
now
for
himself
that
he
worked
hard
and
earns
to
train
and
prepare
for.
H
H
The
trades
have
also
shared
with
me
that
they're
having
a
problem
with
enrollment
and
recruitment
in
the
trades,
so
we
have
students
that
are
graduating
from
a
lot
of
these
schools
and
not
even
interested
in
working
in
the
trades
that
they
spent
here
studying.
So
something
needs
to
be
done.
Something
needs
to
be
reviewed
and
I'm
glad
that
this
is
coming
up
before
us,
so
that
we
can
make
it
better
for
our
kids
for
the
students
of
chelsea
and
our
families.
Thank
you
guys.
K
Good
evening
my
name
is
nori
alistair
jesus
373
crescent
app,
although
I
do
agree
with
our
city
councilor,
I
mean
our
city
manager.
Tonight
is
not
a
debate
about
who
agrees
with
the
city
manager
and
who
doesn't
tonight.
I
think
we
are
all
in
agreement
that
chelsea
needs
a
vocational
school
opportunity.
K
I
think
that
chelsea
desperately
needs
our
vocational
school
opportunities
to
support
our
students
that
are
have
been
asking
for
this
for
years.
I
remember
when
we
were
transitioning
our
superintendent
and
we
mobilized
youth
in
our
community
and
the
questions
that
were
being
asked
as
almi
was
being
interviewed,
was:
do
you
support
vocational
schools?
We
need
vocational
schools
and
vocational
school
access
in
our
community,
and
so
this
is
something
that
I
think
everyone
across
the
board
is
in.
Support
of.
I
think
that
this,
the
finance
the
financing
system
is
unfair.
K
K
We
need
new
new
state
revenue
proposals
to
enable
more
funding
for
needed
schools,
as
for
chelsea,
paying
the
47
million
to
build
this
new
school
out
of
its
budget.
That
is
a
heavy
heavy
lift,
given
the
needs
our
city
need
has
for
housing,
education,
health
care
and
just
pandemic
relief
in
general.
Next
time
we
have
the
opportunity
to
ask
and
to
speak
with
the
directors
of
this
project.
Let's
ask
them
since
the
pandemic
has
the
number
of
applications
decreased?
K
K
If
chelsea
does
not
pass
this,
the
question
can
be
put
to
vote
all
12
communities
of
northeast
metro
serves.
This
includes
chelsea,
revere,
malden
and
nine
suburbs.
If
this
passes
chelsea
has
to
pay
the
47
million
again
we
support
starting
vocational
courses
at
chelsea,
high
school,
reforming
the
admissions
policy
and
northeast
northeast
metro
and
finding
ways
to
build
the
new
needed
northeast
metro
high
school,
but
chelsea
can't
afford
the
new
school
price
tag.
We
need
to
focus
on
housing,
jobs
and
other
emergency
needs.
K
I
know
you
heard
tonight
that
you
should
not
want
to
go
back
to
the
times
where
urban
children
don't
have
access
to
equitable
education
or
vocational
school
truth.
Is
I
lived
in
that
time
and
it
was
my
neighbors.
It
was
my
cousins
and
my
loved
ones
that
were
still
not
able
to
make
it
into
the
classrooms
because
they
were
dealing
with
mental
health,
substance,
abuse,
violence
and
all
the
other
things
that
are
in
our
community.
K
As
parents
deal
with
homelessness
overcrowded
apartments,
our
community
deals
with
mental
health
and
substance
concerns.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we
acknowledge
that
kovit
has
increased.
All
of
that,
we
need
to
address
the
needs
in
our
community.
We
need
to
be
mindful
with
our
budget
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
healthy
practices
of
equity,
not
equality.
Thank
you.
L
As
an
organization,
we
feel
it's
incredibly
critical
to
emphasize
a
few
steps
that
need
to
happen
to
make
that
possible
and
number
one.
We
hope
that
the
chelsea
school
department
will
commit
to
our
request
to
start
the
process
of
applying
for
chapter
74
courses
to
be
offered
at
chelsea
high
school
to
have
locally
accessible
classes
for
a
greater
number
of
chelsea.
Youth
would
be
a
huge
win
for
this
community,
and
number
two
is,
I
believe,
marisol
touched
on
for
a
moment.
L
The
school
has
until
october
31st
to
submit
a
new
policy,
and
we
have.
We
are
hoping
that
if
they
would
like
to
see
our
support
for
expansion,
they
take
into
account
the
need
for
more
equity
in
the
admissions
policy,
and
because
this
is
an
issue
again,
we
have
been
fighting
for
a
change
to
this
policy
for
two
years.
I
would
like
to
invite
emily
and
danielle
to
share
some
of
their
opinions
as
chelsea
youth,
on
how
this
policy
impacts,
chelsea
use
self-esteem,
as
well
as
their
chances
for
accessing
a
better
economic
future.
M
Hello,
my
name
is
emily
manjavar,
I
attend
the
chelsea
high
school
and,
to
be
honest,
I
find
the
policy
location
of
school
admissions
to
be
very
discriminatory
against
people
of
color.
If
I'm
a
spanish
speaker
and
don't
understand
very
much
english,
how
is
it
possible
that
I
pass
my
english
speaking
classes
without
flying
colors
and,
most
importantly,
what
happens
when,
just
because
of
my
skin
color,
I
get
sun
out
of
the
office
by
my
white
teacher
due
to
their
bias
about
my
own
behavior
before
we
think
about
expansion.
N
O
O
I
can
honestly
say
before
receivership:
we
did
have
vocation
in
the
city
of
chelsea,
because
my
two
sons
benefited
from
him.
One
is
an
autobody
mechanic
and
one
is
a
mechanic.
They
also
had
cooking
classes.
They
also
had
sewing
classes,
they
had
all
kinds
of
things
for
the
children
we
went
into
receivership
and
we
lost
all
those
things
for
vocation
for
the
chelsea
kids.
I
was
upset
about
because
I
feel
vocation
is
very,
very
important
for
these
kids
that
want
to
learn
how
to
survive
after
high
school.
O
O
I
Susan
backstrom
again
260
clerk
ave
number
807
in
chelsea
yeah.
I
was
just
noticing
that
that
that
the
that
the
people
who
were
presenting
were
presenting
a
number
of
the
that
800
students
from
chelsea
would
be
received
recipients
of
this
kind
of
education,
and
then
they
put
out
the
number
that
4
200
for
every
student
would
be
spent
on
them
and
so
that
equals
3.36
million,
not
317
million
in
change
nor
47
million.
I
Okay,
a
general
comment
not
regarding
to
ada
voting
or
the
school
vocational
committee
or
vocational
opportunity.
Whatever
that
that
was
id225
is
that
we
in
chelsea,
should
you
know
strongly
consider
you
know
engaging
in
ranked
choice.
Voting
for
you
know
these
these
offices,
so
that
so
that
we
can
even
with
low
numbers
or
low
turnout.
We
can
still
have
the
one
who,
with
the
majority,
would
be
insured
of
a
of
the
seat,
and
so
just
just
to
put
that
forward.
I
I
M
J
A
A
Council
brown
asked
that
we
accept
and
file
the
minutes
from
our
october
4th
meeting
under
suspension.
Seeing
no
objection,
we
have
a
communication
from
our
city
manager
received
regarding
the
street
lights
dear
counselors.
I'm
writing
in
response
to
the
city
order
regarding
information
on
how
street
lights
are
fixed
in
this
city.
A
I
have
responded
in
similar
council
orders
several
times
in
the
passover.
I
will
provide
another
brief
overview
city
owns
and
is
responsible
for
all
all
of
its
street
lights.
However,
the
wiring
electrical
infrastructure
for
such
light
remains
owned
by
eversource
the
city
outsources
maintenance
of
its
streetlights
third-party
vendors.
Currently,
the
streetlight
vendor
is
daigle
electric
construction
corp
when
a
street
light
is
reported
out,
daigle
is
dispatched
to
attempt
to
repair.
If
the
problem
is
a
street
light
itself,
daigle
is
typically
able
to
perform
the
repair
in
a
short
order.
A
A
If
the
reported
problem
is
the
street
light
is
remaining
day
all
lit
all
day.
That
is
typically
a
problem
with
a
sensor.
That
kind
of
problem
is,
is
the
problem
that
daigle
is
usually
able
to
remedy
on
its
own.
I
encourage
the
city
council
report
to
dbw
all
such
interesting
instances,
and
we
should
should
be
able
to
quickly
resolve
counselor
cupro.
D
Many
times
we
call
about
this,
so
if
the
problem
is
simple,
that
they
can
fix
it
themselves,
I
come
the
lights
are
still
on.
I
know
a
light
on
my
street
has
been
on
for
over
seven
months.
I
know
many
other
lights
that
don't
even
come
on.
So
that's
you
saying
here
we
have
the
company
called
so
well,
don't
they
go
out
and
fix
it.
D
A
There's
communication
is
the
communication
from
the
city
manager
regarding
flooding
issues
their
councils.
I'm
writing
in
response
to
a
recent
city.
Council
was
requesting
city
to
investigate
flooding
issues
at
the
following
intersections
six
at
arlington
everett
and
carter.
Valencarta,
with
respect
to
the
intersection
of
sixth
and
arlington,
the
city's
water
and
soaring
drainage
department
will
clean
and
televise
the
drain
lines
in
this
area.
A
We
believe
these
lines
are
in
reasonably
good
shape,
but
lack
sufficient
capacity
during
heavy
rainfall
over
time,
as
the
city
makes
downstream
improvements
to
our
system,
including
separation
of
combined
water
and
drain
lines.
We
hope
this
capacity
problem
will
improve.
The
situation
is
similar
in
the
ever
to
have
carter,
street
and
bale
street
areas
during
heavy
rains,
especially
at
high
tides.
These
areas
can
back
up
with
experienced
local
street
flooding
again.
A
A
Seeing
none,
we
have
a
communication
from
city
manager
ambrosina
regarding
parking
lots
located
at
15
williams,
and
two
for
pembroke
dear
council,
is
in
recent
order.
You
requested
that
I
provide
you
with
a
plan
to
reacquiring
the
parking
lots
the
city
previously
leased
at
15
williams
and
2-4
pembroke
street.
These
lots
were
used
by
the
police
department
for
parking
during
the
day
and
certain
spots
were
available
to
residents
at
night
with
the
opening
of
the
police
parking
area
in
the
new
lot
under
the
totem
bridge.
A
These
lease
parcels
were
no
longer
necessary
for
police
parking
and
the
leases
were
terminated,
as
I
mentioned
several
times
in
the
past.
Any
process
of
acquisition
of
real
property
by
the
city
must
start
with
an
appraisal,
however,
suggest
that
before
you
present
an
order
to
draft
an
order
to
appropriate
the
funds
for
necessary
appraisal.
We
meet
to
discuss
this
matter
in
subcommittee
because
of
the
acquisition
would
involve
the
need
for
imminent
domain
a
vote
that
requires
a
super
majority.
A
E
A
E
Thank
you,
mr
president,
thank
you,
mr
manager,
for
getting
back
this
year,
and
this
is
obviously
something
that
we
can
do
to
help
the
residents
out
in
that
community
when
a
summer
lower
tremont
on
williams
feet.
So
I
know
it
has
a
tag
that
it
has
to
be
considered
for
eminent
domain.
But
again
this
is
a
favorable
favorable
event
that
we
can
actually
work
to
try
to
help
the
community
receive
some
parking
and
have
some
reliable
parking
in
that
area.
E
B
The
next
communication
from
the
city
manager
fines
for
fireworks.
Dear
counselors.
I
am
writing
in
response
to
the
request
for
the
number
of
fines
issued
this
year
for
the
use
of
illegal
fireworks
according
to
police
chief
brian
kais,
the
police
department
did
not
issue
any
fines
for
fireworks
this
summer.
Nonetheless,
chief
cars
believed
strongly
that
the
new
ordinance
with
this
threat
of
larger
financial
penalties
was
an
extremely
helpful
tool
for
his
officers
as
they
engaged
with
residents
of
on
fireworks
complaints.
B
P
P
E
Thank
the
chief
and
thank
the
city
manager,
and
also
our
good
colleague
for
making
this
resolution
this
motion,
and
also
some
of
the
community
residents
that
fought
very
hard
bet.
Novak
was
one
we
had
a
lot
of
folks,
especially
up
in
animals
hill,
where
that
part
of
the
year
when
the
pandemic
was
going
on.
It
was
really
somewhat
of
a
uproar
situation
where
we've
heard
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
fireworks,
but
you
know
again
also
kudos
and
and
big
thanks
to
our
sami
mohica
who's,
the
way
on
sick
leave.
E
He
worked
very
hard
on
this
initiative
and
I
do
believe
that
when
we
came
back
and
todd
I
mean
counselor.
Taylor
wanted
to
aggressively
attach
a
fine,
significant
find
to
this.
A
lot
of
folks
got
the
message
that
we
were
not
going
to
tolerate
this,
that
we
were
going
to
really
pursue
this,
the
police
they
jumped
right
on
it.
E
They
were
on
it
throughout,
but
when
the
fine
was
attached
to
it,
I
think
the
public
got
the
message
and
I
also
think
that,
as
things
have
progressed
and
died
down
with
some
of
the
concerns
and
some
of
the
pandemic
in
the
past
year,
that
we've
actually
got
some
really
good
nights
of
rest
and
some
good
nights
of
peace
up
there.
So
I
want
to
thank
everyone
that
participated
in
making
this
happen.
It's
very
good
for
the
city.
E
C
A
Q
Didn't
have
all
the
damage
from
the
fireworks
that
we
had
district
five
district
sex
and
district
4..
I
think
what
you
know.
I
understand
that
you
know
they
went
and
talked
to
the
people,
but
I
think
we
we
can
still
do
the
fines.
In
my
district
there
was
a
lot
of
fireworks
actually
two
weeks
ago
there
was
fireworks.
You
know
I.
I
do
not
agree,
why
no
one
person
got
a
fine
when
they
were
throwing
fireworks
everywhere.
A
A
We
have
their
councils,
I'm
writing
to

the
city's

We

responded.
Such

Now
have

A
A
First
up
the
first
amendment
introduced
by
council
robinson
regarding
inserting,
in
part
legislative
section,
2-1
composition,
eligibility
election
and
term.
There
shall
be
a
city
council
composed
of
nine
members
which
shall
exercise
the
legislative
powers
of
the
city.
Four
members
to
be
known
as
councils
at
large
shall
be
nominated
and
elected
by
and
by
the
voters
at
large
five
members
to
be
known
as
ward
counselors
shall
be
nominated
elected
by
and
from
the
voters
of
each
district.
F
F
I'm
offering
this
amendment
and
people
are
saying
why,
in
the
history
of
the
city
of
chelsea,
for
those
who
are
newcomers
to
our
community,
there
have
always
been
nine
members
serving
on
the
city
council
four
at
large,
and
there
were
five
wards
and
in
those
wards
there
were
preaching
one
precinct.
Two
the
awards
were
spread
out.
That
gave
a
number
of
people
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to
run
for
council
in
those
areas.
F
Chelsea
was
a
community
where
every
state
office
holder
made
their
way
to
chelsea
seeking
votes
to
help
them
get
elected
statewide.
And
here
we
are
in
the
past
few
elections,
we've
had
a
number
of
districts
that
have
been
no
challenges
and
if
you
feel
that
is
good
competition
or
I
just
can't,
I
I
don't
understand.
I
think
this
offers
a
much
wider
opportunity
for
many
more
people
to
be
able
to
get
involved
in
this
process
and
that's
my
opinion
on
it
and
that's
what
I
stand
by.
D
I
disagree
with
my
fellow
councillor.
I
don't
think
it's
a
good
thing.
You
want
to
have
more
people
involved,
you
want
to
have
more
people
represent.
If
you
do
that,
what
you're
doing
is
just
suppressing
the
representation
of
the
people,
you
eliminate
more
people
getting
into
the
pool.
So
what
is
the
purpose?
You
want
more
representation,
more
people
to
come
out
when
you
limit
the
pool,
you
have
a
small
amount
of
people,
you
want
more
representation.
I
don't
think
this
is
a
good
thing
if
they
thought
this
was
a
bad
thing.
D
They
wouldn't
do
it
in
the
beginning.
They
did
it
to
make
sure
that
the
people
of
our
city
had
good
representation,
so
it
doesn't
serve
its
purpose
for
us
to
go
out
about
and
say,
okay
we're
going
to
cut
them.
Why?
So?
That
means
you
want
less
representation.
I
believe
you
should
have
more.
The
people
deserve
more
and
everybody
should
have
an
opportunity
to
go
out
there
and
become
a
city
council
if
they
wish
to
do
so.
S
So,
let's
not
diminish
the
work
of
our
residents
that
worked
so
hard
to
make
sure
that
there's
representation
in
this
community.
So
I
will
be
voting
against
this
because
again,
as
my
colleague
just
said,
it
is
so
important
to
be
inclusive
and
to
really
show
that
this
body
represents
the
people
that
we
serve.
Thank
you.
A
C
That's
what
matters
okay,
so
all
I
want
to
say
here
is
that
in
in
order
to
represent
this
community,
it's
you
think
about
the
diversity
in
the
city.
It's
so
important
for
everyone
here
in
the
city
to
have
representation,
and
what
we
saw
in
the
past
was
when
we
had
wards
and
at-large
members
was
that
the
majority
of
the
at-large
members
came
from
one
part
more
affluent
part
of
this
community,
representing
the
needs
of
people
that
really
needed
representation.
C
B
Adopt
the
amendment
a
no
vote
would
be
to
deny
it
council
of
vedau,
no
council
officer,
no
councilman
cooper,
councillor,
garcia,
no
council,
vega,
maldonado,
council,
robinson
council,
rodriguez,
councilor
taylor,
yes,
council,
lopez,
no
councillor
brown
and
council
is
abbott.
No
two
in
favor
and
I
oppose
the
motion-
is
defeated.
B
A
A
A
A
If
the
residents
of
this
community
want
to
have
a
referendum
question
placed
on
the
boat
on
our
local
city
election,
they
have
to
collect
20
of
the
number
of
registered
voters
in
our
community
to
be
placed
on
the
balance.
So
we
do
have
requirements
now.
Why
did
I
put
this
put
forth?
I
just
think
that
we
should
have
some
sort
of
bottom
bear
number
for
a
person.
Who's
gonna
run
so
that
it's
not
anarchy.
It's
not
something
crazy.
A
It's
well
thought
out
and
let's
say
per
chance,
someone
runs
a
sticker
campaign
and
they
don't
happen
to
get
enough
votes
and
again
that
seat,
whether
it
be
a
doesn't,
is
a
is
vacated
or
no
one
wins.
At
least
when
it
comes
to
the
body,
the
city
council,
then
we
have
to
repoint
them.
At
least
we
say:
hey
the
person
at
least
tried
and
had
an
appointment
that
was
interest.
They
will
be
considered
for
that
office.
A
But
to
have
someone-
and
we
had
this
happen-
and
this
is
what
I'm
trying
to
guard
against-
we
had
someone
who
literally
just
went
into
a
voting
pool.
No
one
else
was
running,
put
their
name
on
and
won.
How
do
we
know
without
any
public
discourse?
The
voters
had
no
chance
to
meet
the
candidate.
Anything
of
that
nature
that
that
would
have
been
a
good
way
to
run
government
that
doesn't
make
any
sense.
P
P
To
have
some
sort
of
minimum
bar
that
people
need
to
reach
in
order
to
assume
office
or
the
city
council
would
need
to
step
in
and
appoint.
Somebody
as
we
are
the
elected
body
of
of
this
city,
so
you
know
I.
I
think
that
this
is
basically
the
bare
minimum
that
we
should
do
and
I'll
be
supporting
it.
Thank
you.
E
E
E
E
E
E
So
at
this
point
backing
up
in
september,
where
the
charter
states
we
have
to
have
an
election,
you
know
that
there's
no
candidate,
so
our
mission
should
be
okay.
If
you
want
to
run
for
office
at
the
right
end,
you
need
to
get
this
to
be.
On
give
you
an
example:
if
you
run
for
warden
town
committee
or
state
committee,
men
or
person,
you
have
to
get
the
number
required
in
the
primary
to
get
your
name
on
you
just
can't
go
out
and
say
you
know,
take
50
signatures.
I
got
47.
E
E
E
today
is
25.
either
way
we
go.
I
believe,
if
you're
gonna
do
it
right,
that's
the
language
we
should
read
because
she
putting
this
into
the
charter
for
10
years.
I
think
we
should
actually
put
the
right
language
in
at
the
right
place.
So,
if
we're
just
looking
to
run
as
a
right
in
for
the
primary,
you
need
to
get
what
it
takes
to
get
your
name
printed
on
the
ballot
in
the
general
election,
it
should
be
clear.
E
C
So
there's
a
lot
of
truths
to
what
what
folks
are
saying-
and
I
just
want
to
just
specify
if
when
when
we
run
for
office-
and
we
get
our
sheets
and
we
get,
we
have
to
collect
at
least
50
signatures.
We
are
printed
on
the
ballot.
I
don't
know
why
we're
acting
like
running
a
writing
campaign
is
is
easy.
It's
it's
there's.
So
many
disadvantages.
If
you
misspell
the
name,
if
you
don't
get
the
address,
those
votes
don't
count,
and
so
the
burden
would
fall
on
the
person
running
the
sticker
campaign.
C
I
understand
what
the
council
president
said
with
respect
to.
If
someone
steps
down,
then
the
next
person
has
to
have
at
least
20
in
order
to
serve,
but
that
person
would
have
had
run.
Their
name
would
have
been
on.
The
ballot
already
would
have
had
the
advantage
of
possibly
getting
20
of
that
if
it
was
an
actual
contested
race,
there
is
no
threshold
that
we
are
supposed
to
meet
when
we
vote
it's
not
like.
Oh,
you
have
to
have
at
least
this
many
votes,
so
you
can
get
into
office.
C
C
Whether
you
win
by
one
vote
or
two
votes,
it
doesn't
matter,
that's
how
it
works,
majority,
wins
and
who
are
we
to
implement
or
impose
anything
that
would
that
would
not
allow
that
democratic
process
to
happen.
So
I
would
absolutely
be
voting
against
this.
I
think
this
is
absolutely
government
overreach.
I
also
believe
that
it
takes
the
power
away
from
the
electorate,
who
is
to
decide
who
sits
up
here
and
puts
the
power
back
on
us,
and
it
feels
a
little
power
hungry
to
me.
So
I
would
be
voting
against
this.
Thank
you.
F
B
O
B
B
Introduced
by
counselors
abbott
amendment
to
uncertain
part,
two
legislative
section,
2-3
general
powers
and
duties
council
members
shall
forfeit
their
office
by
failing
to
attend
three
consecutive
regular
meetings
of
the
council
without
being
excused
by
the
council.
Members
of
the
council
may
ask
to
be
excused
by
following
the
procedure
described
in
this
paragraph.
B
The
member
shall
contact
the
city
council
president
prior
to
the
meeting
and
state
the
reason
for
their
inability
to
attend
the
meeting.
If
the
member
is
unable
to
contact
the
city
council
president,
the
members
shall
contact
the
city
council
vice
president,
following
the
call
of
water,
the
president
of
vice
president
shall
inform
the
council
of
the
members
absent
state
the
reason
for
the
such
absence
and
inquiry.
If
there
is
a
motion
to
excuse
the
member,
this
motion
shall
be
non-debatable
upon
passage
of
such
motion
by
a
majority
of
the
members
present.
S
S
R
R
And
if
this
is
in
the
charter,
at
least
for
the
next
10
years,
the
idea
that
when
one
is
voted
into
office,
it
is
their
responsibility
to
be
present
as
they
are
able.
So
I
repeat,
I
in
no
way
was
suggesting
that
a
city
councilor
who
is
unable
to
attend
a
meeting
for
health
reasons,
etc,
be
they
mental
health,
physical
health.
Anything
like
that,
a
death
in
the
family,
it
is
in
no
way
was
I
proposing
that
that
not
be
allowed.
C
You,
madam
vice
chair,
I
think
when
we
start
off
in
order
by
apologizing
we're
in
big
trouble
as
someone
who
is
just
coming
back
to
a
city
council
meeting
only
because
I'm
in
town
temporarily
to
visit
my
family
after
suffering,
tragic
violence
in
my
family
and
almost
losing
my
life
to
covin,
I
can't
explain
how
offensive
this
order
is.
I
also
want
to
explain
that
all
of
us
here,
whether
I
get
1400
votes
or
someone
here
gets
22
are
all
equal.
C
There
is
not
one
counselor
here
that
has
more
power
over
than
the
other,
with
the
exception
of
the
council
president,
as
we
all
vote,
and
even
then
we
are
all
still
equal.
The
idea
that
anyone
would
have
to
come
to
the
fellow
council
and
ask
mommy
and
daddy
to
get
permission
as
to
whether
or
not
they
get
excused
is
is,
is
actually
very
disturbing.
It
is
an
ableist
attitude.
We
should
be
ashamed
that
we
would
even
think
that
we
can
undermine
the
electorate.
It
is
them
when
I
was
council
president.
C
What
I
had
our
administrative
assistant
do
was
keep
attendance,
because
it
is
the
electorate
who
decides
who
sits
in
these
chairs,
and
so
then
we
can
present
to
them
what
the
attendance
is
and
let
the
electorate
decide.
There
is
not
one
person
here
that
gets
to
decide
what
the
other
does.
I
am
disgusted
at
this.
I
will
be
voting
absolutely
no
on
this
and
I'm
ashamed.
S
N
D
We
are
elected
officials,
we're
not
school
children,
we're
growing
people,
we're
grown
men
and
women.
We
shouldn't
have
to
we
answer
to
the
people.
The
people
put
us
here
and
they're
the
only
ones
they
get
rid
of
us
and
if,
for
some
unfortunate
reason
you
cannot
come,
I
guess
all
of
us.
If
I
couldn't
come.
I
would
definitely
say
this
is
the
reason
why
and
I
wouldn't
turn
around
and
say.
Well,
I'm
not
gonna
come.
I
don't
feel
like
coming.
If
that
you
intend
to
do
that,
why
do
you
run
for
office?
D
D
That's
not
what
you
that's,
not
a
democracy.
Democracy
is
done
by
the
people.
The
people
decide
when
you
leave
not
us.
I
don't
believe
we
should
have
the
right
to
determine
who
gets
who
goes
and
who
stays
the
people
decide.
Let
them
decide
not
us,
we
are
not
the
p,
the
people
we
are,
the
elected
official
of
the
people
and
that's
our
job
is
to
work
for
the
people.
P
P
And
I
do
believe
that
it
is
the
voters
and
the
voters
alone
who
should
decide
this.
But
I
would
encourage
the
voters
to
look
at
this
issue
and
elect
people
that
can
do
the
job
elect
people
that
are
committed
to
doing
the
job
school
committee
city
council.
Whatever
it
is
that
you
know,
people
deserve
representation,
and-
and
this
was
a
reason.
P
The
voters
put
you
here.
The
voters
can
take
you
out
and
and
and
I
I
firmly
believe
that
that's
the
way
of
things.
That
being
said,
I
do
think
for
further
consideration
at
another
time.
This
every
legislative
body
has
the
ability
to
censure
a
member
of
its
body,
and
that
should,
or
can
you
know,
could
be
put
into
the
charter
at
a
later
date,
and
if
people
really
want
to
do
that,
then
that's
what
I
would
suggest
thank.
F
F
I
think
that
we,
the
council,
does
have
the
power
to
censor
candidates
here,
we're
not
the.
I
know
there
is
a
rule
in
the
school
committee
that
they
put
in
put
in
place
because
of
the
absenteeism
now
what's
happening
at
the
school
department,
but
I
could
not
support
this
measure
because
I
feel
I'd
be
taking
away
a
vote
from
the
people
in
this
community.
E
Vice
president,
again,
I
would
not
be
smart.
I'm
supporting
this
method.
I
don't
believe
that
this
year
was
put
in
a
bad
spirit,
but
it's
just
not
a
good
order.
It's
not
a
good
order
because
of
what
we've
dealt
with
in
the
past
year
and
a
half,
and
also
because
we
have
had
folks
that's
been
out,
but
I
don't
also.
I
also
believe
that
we
don't
need
to
take
additional
attendance,
there's
no
reason
to
take
additional
attendance,
one
of
the
first
things
we
do
here.
E
We
salute
the
flag
and
we
take
attendance
so
to
say
that
you
know
this
sword
order's
out
of
order
the
order
of
taking
additional
attendance.
So
we
can
have
record
to
show
that
who
attends
and
who
does
not
attend
meetings.
That's
public
records.
I
believe
that's
something
that
we
we're
getting
away
from.
Really
the
the
respect
for
the
body
of
the
city
council
or
the
school
committee
members
or
whoever
is
elected.
E
We
take
an
oath
to
show
up
to
do
the
job
the
best
of
our
ability
to
show
up
to
do
the
job
the
best
of
our
ability.
If
we
have
something
that
does
not
allow
us
normally
a
lot
of
folks
will
call
and
say
I
can't
be
at
the
meeting
tonight
because
of
whatever
and
if
it's
extended
period
it
should
be
out
of
respect
to
the
office
members.
So
folks
wouldn't
be
guessing
about.
You
know,
is
this
person
okay
of
this
person,
because
everyone
should
have
some
care
and
concerns
about
their
fellow
council
members.
E
So
to
say
this
is
out
of
order.
So
is
you
know
taking
additional
attendances
out
of
order,
because
it's
something
that
you
can
say
well,
look
I
showed
up
this
many
times
this
person
did
not
it's
public
records.
We
show
up.
We
took
an
oath
to
show
up,
we
don't
need
to
be
taking
records
and
checking
each
other.
E
We
need
to
be
working
together
and
try
to
present
ourselves
as
a
full
body
with
respect
for
one
another
for
the
residents
that
elected
us
to
get
the
job
done
for
the
city
of
chelsea,
so
this
past
year
we
try
to
go
into
meetings
to
get
conversation
to.
Let
us
work
together.
We
still
need
to
work
on
that
as
a
body
to
so.
E
If
that
person
has
a
relationship
and
feels
that
that
person
can
say
hey,
I
won't
be
in
because
of
my
job
or
because
of
this
that's
out
of
respect
for
us
I
mean
I
don't,
but
this
is
how
we
get
blown
out
of
order
when
we
put
stuff
in
here,
because
now
you
try
to
split
us
as
city
council
members
and
that's
not
good
policy.
Thank
you.
Thank.
S
B

A

Okay,
the
amendment
towards
certain
part,
seven
city
elections,
preliminary
and
general
section,
seven
one.
The
city
shall
make
available
to
registered
voters
the
ability
to
vote
early
in
person
weekdays
during
the
preceding
week
and
second
saturday
preceding
the
regular
city
election
held
in
november.
What.
A
So
I
thought
well
saturday's
for
many
is
a
day
off.
We
don't
have
to
worry
about
the
schools
and
such
and
it
may
make
more
sense,
but
then
it
was
found
out
during
the
debate
that
it
goes
counter
to
state
law,
because
that's
something
that
towns
can
do,
but
not
cities
per
our
way.
Are
we
a
structure?
A
However,
as
you
saw
last
year
during
covet,
we
actually
had
early
voting
and
in
our
in
our
city
to
deal
with
what
was
going
on
with
coburn.
We
allowed
early
voting
the
whole
week
before
us
the
saturday
before
leading
up
to
the
tuesday
election.
It
allowed
people
to
vote
on
more
than
one
day
and
if
we're
trying
to
get
more
involvement,
we
have
to
take
into
account
the
different
schedules
that
are
out
there
in
our
community
and
and
whether
you
have
kids
and
trying
to
get
care
and
all
your
different
different
hours.
A
Now
you
have
a
whole
week
and
maybe
that
will
increase
voter
participation
and
that's
the
goal
here.
This
is
not.
This
is
in-person
voting,
so
it
it
we're
actually
going
to
do
it
again.
This
upcoming
this
upcoming
election
and
I'm
just
replicating
it
so
that
it's
not
just
a
coveted
event,
but
we
do
it
for
the
next
10
years,
and
that
is
the
saturday
before
the
election.
You
get
an
opportunity
to
come
into
city
hall
and
vote
that
week
before
the
election
or
tuesday.
A
From
monday
to
friday,
you
can
come
to
city
hall
and
you
can
vote
and
then
on
that
tuesday,
it's
as
we
always
do
it.
You
go
to
the
voting
polls,
but
I
think,
if
we're
going
to
try
to
increase
voter
participation,
we
have
to
come
up
with
different
ways
and
having
a
longer
schedule,
make
sense
for
us.
I
know
for
all
my
voter
activists
out
there
think
about
having
five
days
to
be
able
to
hit
all
the
senior
buildings
and
give
rides
to
everybody.
A
S
C
Want
to
congratulate
the
maker
of
the
amendment,
I
think
that,
rather
than
talking
about
how
many
people
are
coming
to
meetings
and
talking
about
a
threshold
of
25,
we
need
to
actively
be
figuring
out
how
we
try
to
increase
civic
engagement
in
our
community,
and
this
is
a
great
way
of
doing
that.
I'll.
Be
voting
in
favor.
C
C
B
If
and
when
the
city
council
firmly
approves
such
rule
and
or
regulation
by
a
majority
vote
of
the
full
city
council
traffic
commission
may
vote
to
approve
a
temporary
or
emergency
rule
or
regulation,
or
take
effect
immediately,
provided
that
such
temporary
or
emergency
rule
or
regulation
shall
expire
after
90
days.
Unless
the
city
council
has
voted
in
the
interim
to
reject
the
rule,
in
which
case
it
shall
expire
immediately
upon
such
vote.
What.
S
P
T
S
P
So
so
it
seems
it
seems
that
you
know
we
may
have
a
hard
time
getting
11
people
here
so
that
you
know,
I
think,
a
a
vote
of
the
either
either
put
a
you
know
a
super
majority
of
of
it
or
you
know,
just
of
a
quorum
or
be
specific.
I
think
full
city
council
is,
is
you
know,
I'm
not,
I'm
not
quite
sure
what,
if
that
would
entail.
As
the
city
solicitor
said,
that
all
11
people
would
have
to
be
here
to
be
voted
on,
and
I
don't
think
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
P
D
S
P
S
T
S
P
S
S
D
Thank
you
for
years
we
are
the
elected
official
of
the
people.
The
people
put
us
here.
If
we
we,
we
always
say
we
have
the
final
say
we
do
have
the
final
say
they
come
to
us
and
say
to
us:
okay,
this
is
what
we
want
you
to
do.
They
approve
it.
Then
they
come
up
to
us
and
we
can
say
yes
or
no,
but
there's
one
difference
that
this
will
change,
we
send
it
to
them
and
they
can
say
no
and
it
doesn't
even
have
to
come
to
us.
D
It
doesn't
come
to
us
at
all.
We
should
have
the
opportunity
ourselves
to
vote
in
what
we
want.
Yes
or
no.
They
shouldn't
have
the
power
to
tell
us
that
we
can't
if
one
of
my
constituents
asked
me,
can
you
please
put
this
here?
Can
you
put
this
there
and
I
can't
turn
around
and
say?
Well,
we
can't
do
it
because
they
say
we
cannot
do
it.
It
shouldn't
be
that
they
can't
tell
us
it
should
be
us
telling
us.
D
We
should
have
the
final
vote.
If
we
say
we
have
the
final
vote
on
something.
So
let
it
be.
The
final
vote,
let
us
decide
the
faith
of
our
constituents.
Let
them
determine
you
know,
but
the
way
it's
done
now
you
sent
it.
It's
happened
to
many
of
us,
it's
happened
to
me
many
times
you
sent
something
down
to
the
parking
and
traffic
commission.
The
parking
and
traffic
commission
says.
Well,
I
don't
like
what
you
say
and
it
never
comes
up
to
us.
It
never
comes
up
to
the
full
body
of
the
city
council.
D
What
you
proposed
it
doesn't
it
doesn't
come
up
to
us,
it
should
come
up
to
us
and
we
decide
exactly
what
we
want.
Do
we
want
to
do
it
or
we
don't.
It
should
be
the
choice
of
us,
the
council,
the
elected
official
of
it.
It
shouldn't
be
today
to
say:
okay,
we're
not
going
to
do
what
you
say.
This
only
does
one
thing:
it
assures
that
whatever
city
council
sent
something
down
to
them.
They
can't
deny
it
that
has
to
come
back
up
to
us
and
we
deny
it.
D
So
if
my
fellow
colleagues
don't
like
what's
happening,
they
can
say
no.
That
actually
really
means
that
you
have
the
final
say.
You
cannot
say
you
have
the
final
say
when
to
say
is
this
to
start
with
and
at
the
end
that
doesn't
come
to
you,
so
you
have
the
final
say
on
what
they
say,
but
you
don't
have
the
final
say
on
what
you
ask.
That
is
the
difference.
The
difference
between
final
say
as
they
have
it
or
final
say.
As
the
body
of
the
council
says,
we
do
not
have
the
power.
D
D
If
we
send
it
to
you,
you
send
it
back
to
us,
you
shouldn't
say
no
we're
not
going
to
even
look
at
it,
we're
going
to
deny
it
it
shouldn't
be
that
way,
and
I
believe
that
my
fellow
colleagues
they
should
want
to
represent
their
constituents
if
they
say
to
them
here
I
want
you
to
put
a
speed
bump
or
here
I
want
you
to
put
a
stop
sign.
They
should
have
the
ability
to
say
to
them.
Okay,
send
it
to
them.
They
recommend.
D
Yes
or
no,
and
then
we
choose
their
recommendation,
it
shouldn't
just
go
to
them
and
never
comes
up
to
us.
That
is
the
whole
thing.
That's
all
this.
Does
it
doesn't
do
anything
it
doesn't
change
nothing.
The
only
thing
it
changes
is
the
ability
of
us
ourselves
to
determine
and
say:
okay
comes
up
to
you,
yes
or
no,
that's
all
it
does,
and
it
it
also
gives
them
power
to
do
what
they
want
for
90
days.
D
Do
whatever
they
want,
unless
we
say
no,
but
the
only
thing
this
does,
I'm
going,
I'm
returning,
I'm
going
back
to
the
same
thing,
but
the
only
thing.
The
whole
purpose
of
this
is
just
to
make
sure
that
the
elected
official
have
a
say
when
it
comes
to
how
the
city's
parking
the
city
streets,
everything
that
is
done
to
the
parking
traffic
commission.
They
have
a
say
they
should
have
a
say
they
shouldn't
say
no,
we're
not
going
to
even
send
it
to
you.
That's
all
it
is.
D
S
A
Everything,
he
just
said,
isn't
what
he
said
and
what
he's
writing?
So
it's
exactly
the
same
item
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
say
say.
But
what
he's
writing
here
and
what
he's
trying
to
propose
are
completely
two
different
things.
It
absolutely
does
not
change
anything
that
is
already
in
the
charter.
If
anything,
all
you
have
done
is
change
it
from
30
days,
which
is
currently
in
the
charter
for
the
city
council,
to
act
upon
any
recommendations
made
by
the
traffic
board
to
90
days.
A
A
I
have
no
idea,
there's
no
explanation
given
to
why
we
need
to
make
it
three
times
as
long
and
as
I
stated
earlier,
there
is
absolutely
no
difference
other
than
the
change
in
the
date
the
days
between
what
is
currently
in
there
and
what
is
there
now,
and
so
it
does
not
do
anything
that
the
gentleman
is
trying
to
do.
In
that
case
again,
I
would
say
I'm
voting
against
it.
It
just
doesn't
make
any
sense.
Thank
you.
F
Just
just
to
add
to
my
colleague
here
already
in
the
charter
that
I
had
proposed,
because
during
the
summer
months
the
traffic
commission
used
to
take
action
and
we
put
in
a
rule
that
they
could
not
do
any
business
until
we
come
back
in
september.
So
that's
already
in
a
charter
all
right.
So
I
don't.
I
I'm
a
little
confused
at
what
my
colleague
is
asking
for
here
going
to
90
days
when
we
actually
operate
on
30
days,
like
we've
always
been.
T
T
T
So
in
the
current
charter,
you
have
the
right
to
reject
it
or
approve
it
or
not,
act
at
all
within
30
days
he's,
given
you
90
days
to
approve
it
only
and
and
in
order,
in
order
for
anything
that
the
traffic
and
parking
commission
does.
It
has
to
be
approved
by
you,
so
he's
basically
taking
the
exclusive
authority
power
that
the
traffic
and
parking
commission
has
and
granting
it
back
to
the
city
council.
So.
C
S
T
T
S
T
S
P
My
question
is
the
on
the
90
days
is
that
was
that
designed
to
cover
this
summer
break
so
that
they
can't
approve
something
and
we
don't
meet
for.
We
don't
meet
for
30
days,
because
it's
summer
break
and
then
that
that's
what
that
is
designed
for
correct,
so
that
it
would
always
have
to
come
back
before
the
city.
S
P
P
P
S
S
T
P
S
C
C
This
would
prevent
that
from
happening
and
in
a
way
to
restore
power
and
to
adequately
represent
the
community.
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
that.
I'm
a
little
perplexed
about
the
90-day
situation,
but
that,
but
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
name
that
out
loud,
because
that's
what
I
was
able
to
gather,
after
speaking
with
the
city
manager-
and
I
just
wanted
to
be
clear
for
the
public
and
for
other
folks.
S
P
P
Counselor
cupro
has
a
point
that
there
is
kind
of
a
infinite
loop
here
that
exists.
It's
a
flaw
in
the
charter
and
it
does
need
to
be
addressed.
I
just
don't
think
this
is
the
way
to
address
it.
The
city
council
should
know
the
will
of
the
city.
Council
should
not
be
thwarted
by
unelected
board
members.
Now
I
support
members
of
the
public
on
the
boards
and
the
power
of
those
boards
to
act
independently.
P
However,
this
is,
I
believe,
the
only
maybe
it's
not
the
only
board
the
licensing
board.
I
think
acts
acts
this
way,
but
at
any
rate,
the
the
the
power
of
the
traffic
commission
should
not
supersede
the
the
power
of
this
city
council,
where
we
are
the
elected
members
of
the
of
the
public.
So
I
believe
councillor
cooper
has
a
point.
I
just
don't
think
it
was
made
clear
in
this
amendment.
S
F
S
A
D
Thank
you,
mr
president,
for
a
long
time,
quigley
park
has
been
neglected
last
time
they
fixed
it
was
six
seven
years
ago
and
they
didn't
spend
much
money
on
it.
So
I
petitioned
the
city
very
hard
to
get
this
grant
and
I
finally
get
it
and
now
this
grant
is
going
to
give
the
resident
of
that
area
a
good
park,
a
park
where
the
little
kids
can
play
and
give
a
good
park
which
they
deserve.
D
They
haven't
had
one
I've
lived
there
for
40
years
and
I
don't
remember
that
park
ever
being
done
all
over
last
time.
I
remember.
Maybe
it
was
25
years
ago,
20
years
ago
I
haven't
seen
that
park.
Nothing
done
to
that
park
for
20
years
or
more
so
now
it's
a
great
thing
that
it's
finally
being
recognized
in
that
area
that
there's
people
there
kids
a
lot
of
children.
They
use
the
parking
adults.
So
it's
a
good
thing
now
that
they
finally
the
city.
D
D
B
A
A
D
Adopt
under
suspension,
if
there's
no
objection
like
to
speak
on
it,
seeing
no
objection,
I
think
I
spoke
on
this
before
I
think
I
did,
but
I
wasn't
on
the
agenda.
So
what
I
think
is
I
I
don't
know,
but
I
think
the
last
meeting
we
spoke
on
it,
I'm
pretty
sure
I
did,
but
I
gotta
pay
it
again
for
the
same
thing.
So
what
can
I
say?
I
said
it
already.
D
D
I'm
I'm
calling
this
meeting
just
to
see
how
our
city's
doing
what
is
how's
the
city.
How
is
this
helped?
How
does
it
doing
how's,
the
health
of
our
city
more
or
less
helped?
I
don't
mean
to
say
the
border
health.
I
mean
how
the
city
is
doing
period.
Is
the
people
happy
with
the
way
it
is
or
do
we
have
a
lot
of
crime
how's
the
crime
being
addressed
whatever
we
have?
That's
it
just.
D
That,
but
I
I
I
meant
the
health
I
I
but
I
rephrased
that
I
said
not
the
health
or
the
border
health.
I
meant
in
a
form
like
how
was
the
life
of
our
city
been.
You
know
the
the
life
form.
Okay,
let
me
put
it.
In
other
words,
we
won't
say
that
the
public
safety
is
just
to
see
how
our
city
is
doing,
how
the
crime
rate
is
in
our
city.
It's
plain
and
simple.
D
D
It
doesn't
mean
we're
going
to
have
a
lawyer
all
the
time
I
believe,
like
the
city
manager,
said
before
it's
an
appropriation
to
have
a
lawyer
on
a
retainer
when
we
need
to
ask
questions,
it's
all.
It
is
and
there's
nothing
wrong
with
asking
another
lawyer
what's
wrong
with
it.
Isn't
that
a
good
thing
when
you
go
to
a
doctor-
and
you
don't
agree
with
what
a
doctor
says
right-
you
go
to
a
second
opinion.
D
So
what
is
wrong
with
that
before
the
argument
was
we
have
all
these
lawyers
upstairs,
but
actually
nothing
to
say
about
miss
watson,
she's,
a
great
lawyer,
she's,
nothing
reflected
on
her
she's,
a
great
lawyer.
There's
no
saying
that
she's
a
bad
lawyer.
The
only
thing
is
that
I
believe
that
she
works
for
the
city.
D
Does
she
truly
work
for
us?
I
don't
know
she.
Maybe
we
should
have
an
independent
body
that
says
hey
not
not
that
she's
a
bad
lawyer,
but
she
actually
works
for
the
city.
We
should
have
our
own
lawyer
and
that's
the
whole
thing
and
we're
not
going
to
have
a
lawyer
all
the
time
just
sometimes
when
we
need
to
ask
something
that
we
might
not
agree
with.
Ms
watson
says
10
seconds
counselor,
all
right,
that's
it
it's
all.
It
is.
B
Q
B
C
B
A
We
have
a
role
called
on
the
actual
order,
which
is
just
to
ask
the
city
manager
to
look
into
putting
funds
into
a
budget
for
the
city
council
to
hire
part-time
legal
counsel.
Debate
has
ended,
we
will
now
have
a
roll
call.
A
yes,
we'll
support
requesting
funds
from
the
city
manager
for
legal
counsel,
I
know,
is
a
no.
B
R
B
A
A
A
A
S
A
C
A
Veto
objects
to
it
being
passed
on
the
suspension,
we'll
need
a
roll
call
vote
just
to
clarify
council
robinson's
order
is
a
regarding
to
the
city
manager
that
he
consider
increasing
the
hours
of
part-time
isd.
Building.
Inspectors
are
full-time
positions
and
they
consider
to
do
so
in
fy,
22
utilizing
free
cash
once
it's
certified,
it's
a
roll
call
vote.
G
P
A
A
A
The
that's
her
reasoning
for
objecting
to
passing
under
suspension,
but
doesn't
actually
mean
that
we
can't
roll
call
vote
and
pass
it.
So
her
opinion
is
that
she
believes
that
impedes
the,
but
it
doesn't
actually
do
so,
but
that's
her
opinion,
so
we
can
vote
and
a
yes
is
to
for
this
to
be
sent
to
the
city
manager
to
consider
doing
so.
If
you
believe
it,
if
you
want
it
vote.
Yes,
if
not,
then
vote
no
okay,
but
it
doesn't
force
the
city
manager
to
do
something
right
all
set.
B
All
set
ready
to
go
council

no

The
motion
is
adopted.
A
We
have
a
request
introduced
by
consular
vagina
regarding
that
the
traffic
and
parking
commission
place
on
their
agenda.
The
designation
of
three
parking
spaces
on
washington
avenue
between
addison
and
orange
street
for
two
hour
parking
only
including
residents
from
the
hours
of
9
a.m,
to
5
p.m.
Monday,
through
saturday.
Q
And
I
agree
with
you
order
this
this
doctor,
who
was
having
an
operation
there
as
a
business
dental
office,
he's
he
was
looking
for
to
get
packing
for
his
patients
and
again
I
think
that
comes
to
something
that
a
counselor
cooper
mentioned,
that
it
was
denied.
I
think
twice.
I
was
twice
or
three
times
I
was
at
this
meeting
where
parking
traffic
said
no,
we
cannot
help
you
so
we're
not
trying
to
help
business
owners
who
are
trying
to
do
business
in
chelsea
and
this
park
was
denied
when
he
was
asking
for
this.
P
P
P
I
know
one
of
the
neighbors
said
that
they
had
put
down
moth
balls
and
that
they
saw
less
of
the
coyotes
after
that,
if
there,
if
there's
any
type
of
instructions
that
can
be
given
to
the
residents
in
dealing
with
the
coyote
problem
and
what
the
laws
are.
We've
also
heard
reports
that
people
are
actually
feeding
the
coyotes.
P
Are
there
laws
against
people
feeding
the
coyotes?
You
know
so
all
of
this
I
think,
needs
to
be
addressed
in
some
sort
of
public
matter,
either
in
a
either
in
a
meeting,
or
at
least
putting
up
some
material
on
the
city's
social
media
and
having
the
animal
control
officer
engaged
with
the
community.
Thank
you.
A
C
I
just
want
to
say
that
it's
a
privilege
to
be
back
here.
I
have
been
very
ill
as
folks
should
know,
and
I
am
receiving
treatment
out
of
state
I'm
only
in
town,
visiting
family
and
we'll
be
heading
out
where
I
will
be
having
eye
surgery.
I
have
not.
I
wasn't
able
to
join
virtually
because
I
didn't
have
the
option,
but
then
I
thank
you.
C
I
wanted
to
thank
you,
council,
president,
for
allowing
that
to
be
possible,
but
then
my
vision
failed,
and
so
I'm
not
really
able
to
read
the
agendas,
and
so
I
just
want
to
really
thank
fatima
for
sitting
with
me
and
going
over
everything,
but
right
now,
I'm
not
in
a
position
where
I
could
join
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
public
knew
that-
and
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
their
support
of
me
through,
what's
been
a
very
tough
year.
Thank
you.
A
Any
other
announcements
I
just
wanted
to
say
one
first,
one
thing
this
past
saturday:
I
want
to
congratulate
the
friends
of
o'malley
park.
They
had
the
kite
day
and
I
thought
it
was
a
great
event.
A
lot
of
families
showed
up.
It
was
a
great
great
saturday,
plenty
of
wind
that
day,
so
I
thought
it
was
a
great
little
event
to
be
taking
advantage
of
the
park.
A
I
won't
be
able
to
attend
myself,
but
this
thursday
is
the
cpa.
Meeting
community
preservation
board
is
meeting
this
thursday
and
it's
the
first,
the
deadline
for
the
applications
or
the
possible
funding
for
projects,
and
I
hope
some
of
my
colleagues
can
go.
I
just
I
I
can't
go
because
I
have
a
scheduling,
conflict
but
reason
why
I
bring
this
up
is,
as
many
of
you
know,
I
thought
the
cpa
would
have
been
a
great
tool
in
our
community
to
create
parks
to
create.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
Why
is
that?
I
don't?
That
makes
no
sense
to
me
and
the
guidelines
that
they're
doing
again.
I
know
I
have
heard
the
frustrations
of
my
colleagues
on
this
board
about
the
number
of
waivers
that
have
gone
on
and,
being
you
know,
we
get
waivers
from
employees
who
have
to
leave
this
city.
This
is
one
of
the
reasons
they're
leaving
because
they
can't
afford
here,
and
yet
our
own
city
is
not
helping
them.
So
I'm
asking
you
I
plan
on
to
talk
to
them.
A
Talk
to
the
board
members
they're
on
the
back.
Only
your
pressure
can
make
a
difference
and
I'm
and
I'm
guaranteeing
I'm
letting
people
know
we
need
to
make
the
board
know
that
they
need
to
expand
on
who
qualifies
for
affordable.
It
should
be
up
to
a
hundred
percent.
In
my
opinion,
I'll
be
more
than
willing
to
help
you
and
I'll
talk
to
you
about
this,
but
I
think
it
should
be
raised
and
again
this
thursday
is
their
meeting.
If
you
have
time,
please
go
if
not
reach
out
to
the
members.
A
I
know
I'm
going
long
on
this,
but
this
is
a
very
important
matter.
I
think
politically,
we
have
too
much
too
many
of
our
americans
in
this
country
feel
they've
been
abandoned
because
we're
either
helping
the
lower
scale
or
the
poor
and
then
given
the
tax
breaks
to
the
rich
and
the
middle
class
is
getting
just
lost,
and
this
is
a
major
reason.
A
So
you
know
again,
I
had
to
say
something
again,
because
I
can't
be
there
this
thursday,
but
I'm
hoping
that
this
brings
attention
to
it,
and
I
hope
my
colleagues
will
will
attend
the
meeting
if
they
can
at
least
reach
out
to
those
members
and
saying
what
are
you
thinking,
because
if
you're
on
the
same
page,
you
know
wave
length,
as
I
am
you'll
see,
that
this
is
a
problem
at
this
time.
If
there's
no
other
announcements
I'll
take
a
moment
of
silence
for
anyone,
council
lopez.
Q
I
just
want
to
one
warn
this
residents
living
near
central
avenue,
maverick
chelsea,
chester,
charmed
sheriff
and
lynn
street
congress
about
suspicious
activity
that
I've
been
seeing
and
received
complaints
about
guys
going
to
to
cars,
trying
to
open
the
doors
a
group
of
men
hanging
around-
I
see
them.
They
have
an
what
we
call
this
motorcycle
moped
moped
they're
in
bicycles,
they're
running
around
walking
around
starting
from
11
00
p.m.
To
like
five
in
the
morning,
when
I
get
up
and
go
to
work,
they
hang
around
the
corner
like
today.
Q
Q
Person
there
and
be
aware,
your
surroundings,
and
if
you
are
late
at
night,
just
be
careful
friday
night
around
11
40
p.m.
I
heard
some
noise,
a
guy,
was
running
from
these
three
guys.
One
was
in
a
car
one
on
a
moped
and
a
bike,
a
bicycle
and
three
of
them
running
behind
this
guy
who
was
coming
for
probably
a
part-time
job
and
he
was
screaming
trying
to
get
some
help
and
he
he
he
was
fast.
Q
He
they
couldn't
catch
him,
but
you
know
people
shouldn't
be
afraid,
coming
back
from
work
or
nobody
should
be
afraid
of
these
people
that
are
walking
on
the
streets
and
you
know
just
be
aware
and
be
