Description
City Council Meeting, Swearing in of Fire Fighters, Law Enforcement, and Youth Commission
A
A
C
D
A
This
is
the
calling
of
a
special
meeting
of
the
city
council
for
monday
june
13th
in
the
chelsea
city
council
chambers,
for
the
following
purposes:
the
firefighters
swearing
in
law
enforcement,
swearing
in
and
the
youth
commission
oath
of
office.
Do
I
have
an
acceptance
of
motion
to
accept
the
role
of
the
special
meeting.
A
We
will
have
councilor,
robinson
and
counselor
garcia,
accept
the
role
set
on
a
under
suspension
under
suspension
good
evening.
Everyone
welcome
to
this
special
night.
I
will
be
very
brief,
as
it
is
a
special
occasion
for
many
families,
and
we
want
to
get
to
that.
As
you
can
see,
we
have
many
members
of
both
law
enforcement
here
tonight
and
firefighters
due
in
large
part,
because
for
the
last
two
years
we
have
not
been
able
to
gather
to
have
these
swearing-in
procedures
that
we
have
taken
for
granted.
A
We
know
that
during
covid
these
gentlemen
and
women
were
at
the
front
lines
serving
continuously
and
put
themselves,
and
I
know
in
some
cases
they
put
the
families
also
at
risk,
but
they
did
so
because
of
their
love
for
the
job
and
their
love
for
what
they
were
doing
and
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
and
from
my
colleagues.
We
thank
you
for
doing
that
during
those
tough
times
with
that
being
said,
I'll
now
turn
over
to
our
city
manager,
tom
ambrosino.
E
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
just
want
to,
on
behalf
of
the
city,
welcome
all
the
family,
members
and
friends.
Here
we
are
really
happy
that
we
were
finally
able
to
pull
this
together
after
so
many
many
months
without
further
ado.
I
know
you
want
to
get
started,
so
I'm
going
to
call
up
chief
len
albanese
to
start
the
swearing-in
of
our
firefighters.
F
Thank
you,
tom
members
of
the
council,
thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
appear
before
you
this
evening
for
this
appointment
and
promotional
ceremony.
These
ceremonies
are
essential
in
acknowledging
and
rewarding
our
members
for
their
accomplishments
and
also
to
remind
them
of
the
serious
commitment
that
is
required
to
serve
this
community.
As
a
member
of
the
modern
day
fire
service,
this
ceremony
has
been
delayed
by
the
pandemic
as
city
council
president
avignon
mentioned,
but
for
our
firefighters,
along
with
the
police
officers
and
our
911
operators,
nothing
was
delayed.
F
Our
responsibilities
and
the
community's
needs
for
protection
did
not
take
a
day
off
to
those
that
we
officially
appoint
to
the
department
and
promote
here
this
evening.
I
offer
you
my
sincerest
congratulations
and
challenge
you
to
better
yourself.
Each
day
of
your
career
study,
your
craft
hone
your
skills,
you
can
never
know
enough.
F
You
can
never
know
too
much
in
a
job
such
as
ours,
so
that
you
can
better
serve
the
city,
the
department
and
one
another,
and
with
that
I
am
going
to
call
up
and
present
the
members
for

E
Much
so

chance
to
exit

we'll
get
back
started
in
a
couple
of
minutes.
Thanks.
G

Good
afternoon,
everyone
good
evening
we're
about
to
start
our
youth
commission
ceremony.
Thank
you
again
for
all
being
here.
We
appreciate
everyone
out
here
tonight.
We
just
had
a
long
extended
service
without
firemen
we
have
our
youth
commission
coming
before
us
and
right
after
that,
we'll
be
doing
the
swearing-in
for
our
police
department.
So
thank
you
again
for
your
patience
on
behalf
of
the
city
council.
G
We
are
honored
to
be
able
to
have
these
services
that
we
have
not
had
in
the
last
three
years
to
recognize
the
accomplishment,
the
promotions
and
also
the
dedication
of
each
and
every
individual.
We
have
here
tonight
that's
being
recognized
on
our
schedule
here
we
have
three
youth,
but
I
believe
only
two
is
here
with
us.
Without
further
ado,
I'm
going
to
just
ask
the
city
manager
if
he
would
come
up
and
say
a
few
words.
Thank
you.
E
E
So
we've
had
a
revitalized
youth
commission
here
in
the
city
for
about
the
past
six
or
seven
years.
We're
really
excited
about
the
youth
that
take
part
in
this.
They
get
involved
in
a
lot
of
activities
and
we
hope
they
learn
something
here
to
help
them
become
real
future
leaders
for
the
city.
So
we
have
two
members
that
are
here
tonight
to
be
sworn
in
and
I'm
going
to
invite
them
up.
The
first
is
ariana
perdomo.
B
E
A
A
On
the
behalf
of
the
city
council,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
he's
been
an
incredible
chief,
well
recognized
and
obviously
he's
being
named
to
the
position
of
the
u.s
marshals,
because
of
that
great
history
that
he
has
here
the
work
of
the
body
of
work
and
it's
great
to
see
a
true
chelsea
kid
growing
up
on
the
streets
here
to
rise
to
that
level,
and
I'm
and
I
want
to
just
say
thank
you
for
all
your
work
and
don't
forget
about
us.
So
with
that
chief
guys.
H
Thank
you.
Excuse
me,
thank
you.
Our
council
president
was
very
nice,
unexpected
now
very
nice.
I
just
wanted
to
start
out
and
then
was
len
not
to
be
outdone
by
the
chelsea
fire
department,
but
the
fire
department
has
certainly
embedded
in
years
and
years
decades
and
decades
of
tradition.
Did
you
practice
by
the
way
over
the
firehouse
that
whole,
my
god?
That
was
pretty
phenomenal,
very
impressive?
Certainly,
congratulations
to
all
the
new
firefighters,
the
ranking
lieutenants
captains
and
the
new
deputy
chief
on
behalf
of
the
entire
chelsea
police
department.
H
H
H
I
know
that
when
I
showed
up,
they
told
me
it
was
15,
but
we
have
three
other
names,
but
a
couple
things
just
to
kind
of
throw
it
out
there
and
again.
I
was
very
impressed
by
the
by
the
ceremony
that
the
fire
department
displayed
what
we
usually
do
for
newer
offices.
For
those
of
you
that
don't
know-
and
certainly
the
family
members
are
here
today-
they
do
know
usually
when
folks
graduate
from
the
police
academy.
There
is
a
pinning
ceremony
at
that
time.
H
We
don't
necessarily
do
the
pinning
quote-unquote
for
officers
that
are
promoted
all.
That
being
said,
there
were
some
academies
that,
through
covid
it
was
there
was
a
lot
of
moving
parts.
A
lot
of
things
were
different.
Some
of
the
academy
ceremonies
were
actually
canceled
much
to
the
disappointment
of
the
offices,
certainly
in
their
families.
I
did
speak
to
the
officers
in
the
hallway,
and
I
mentioned
that.
Certainly
everyone
has
their
badge
on
and
for
those
of
you
that
really
don't
understand
the
idea
of
putting
a
badge
on
in
a
police
shirt.
H
It
is
a
nightmare
officers,
get
stabbed
and,
and
everything
else
is
pretty
crazy,
but
all
that
being
said
for
some
of
the
newer
officers
that
did
graduate
from
the
academy
and
did
not
get
the
opportunity
to
have
a
pinning
ceremony.
When
I
call
the
group
up
and
we
have
11
patrol
offices
and
we'll
swear
them
in
in
the
well
up
front
here.
If
there
is
any,
you
know,
certainly
a
compelling
need
or
any
need
for
any
family
members
to
want
to
come
up
and
pin
an
individual
officer.
H
That's
fine,
we'll
do
that
and
we'll
move
this
along.
So
what
I
would
like
to
do
is-
and
I
have
some
notes
on
my
offices
not
as
extravagant
as
len.
I
had
paragraphs.
I
wasn't
that
prepared,
I
apologize,
but
what
we
have
is
going
through
the
list
and
what
I'll
do
is.
I
think
everyone
is
here
pretty
much
I'll
call
the
individuals
by
name
and
then,
while
I'm
calling
you
up,
you
can
just
start
the
form
up.
H
H
You're,
certainly
making
your
dad
proud,
you're,
certainly
making
your
dad
proud.
Carlos
and
nelson
came
on
the
job
together
back
in
april
of
2020,
and
also
I
don't
know
if
I
saw
him-
is
jonathan
here:
jonathan
perez,
okay,
so
daniel
ortega,
daniel
here
someone
can
give
me
a
heads
up.
No
okay,
kevin
palencia,
kevin.
H
H
H
H
H
H
H
And
if
officer
ortiz
told
me,
you
might
take
a
good
picture
of
the
group
and
paul.
H
And
before
you
before,
you
walk
away
again,
if
any
any
family
member
wants
to
come
up
and
kind
of
simulate
that
you're
pinning
a
badge
on
one
of
the
one
of
your
loved
ones
feel
free.
H
H
H
And
jay
and
paul
are
classmates
going
back
to
2008
as
well.
Jay
also
has
his
master's
degree.
We
have
star
chung
sworn
in
on
january,
6,
2021.
H
H
H
H
C
C
A
H
Great,
I
just
in
closing,
really
quick.
I
just
want
to
want
to
thank
council
president
roya
vinetta
city
manager,
tom
macino,
certainly
members
of
the
the
city
council,
my
brother
len
albanese,
and
congratulate
all
the
men
and
women
of
both
departments.
Tonight.
This
is
certainly
long
overdue.
I
know
roy
and
all
the
members
have
been
pushing
this
for
a
long
time
justifiably
so,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
family
and
friends
and
those
at
home
for
coming
out
and
viewing
this
tonight.
Congratulations.
