I
would
like
to
thank
all
the
asian
american
community
and
we
all
stand
with
them,
and
I
also
like
to
thank
our
own
secretary,
which
is
of
asian
descent
and
my
granddaughter,
which
is
also
of
asian
descent
and
thank
them
all
and
by
them
being
in
our
nation.
It
makes
our
nation
a
greater
nation.
Thank
you.

President
tommy
embracino
city
manager-
I
just
want
to
advocate
in
favor
of
this
entire
capital
improvement
plan
and
urge
the
council
to
adopt
the
full
order
implementing
the
fy
22
aspects
of
the
plan.
We
went
through
this
plan
at
some
length
and
subcommittee,
so
I
won't
be
repetitive
other
than
to
say
this
is
a
very
robust
plan
has
investment
of
over
16
million
dollars
on
40
projects,
and
it
continues
the
city's
commitment
to
utilize
our
reserves
to
benefit
the
quality
of
life
of
our
residents,
and
I
urge
your
support.
Thank
you.

The
larger
majority
in
border
that
has
supported
in
represent
representing
the
public
polling
today,
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
those
citizens
who
have
been
gathering
signatures
were
collected
to
respectfully
ask
you
to
make
history
tonight
by
passing
the
local
fair
share
amendment
ordinance
that
will
be
to
support
many
cities.
Other
cities.
I
J
J

We
really
miss
normalcy
and
but
we
are
grateful
for
you.
They
thank
you
personally
for
the
chelsea
east
cart,
id

in
the
in
the
agenda,
and
but
resiliency
is
needed
now
persistence
and
tenaciousness
to
not
go
back,
I
mean
we
can't
go
back
and
then
I'm
letting
councilor
verdo
know
that
whatever
she
needs,
I'm
here
for
her
and
most
importantly,
I
just
want
to
give
lawd
and
praise
to
mimi
granny.
She
needs
to
be
celebrated
for
keeping
all
of
our
buckets
full
and
yeah.

Hello,
everyone,
roberto,
jimenez,
rivera
40,
eleanor
street
and
a
large
member
of
the
school
committee.
I'm
here
today
to
speak
in
support
of
the
resolution
on
the
fair
share
amendments
that
councilor
garcia
has
introduced.
I
just
want
to
quickly
mention
first,
what
is
the
fair
share
amendment?
So
the
fair
share
amendment
is
a
four
percent
tax
on
income
yearly
income
over
one
million
dollars,
and
so
then
that
money
would
be
reinvested
into
education
and
transportation.
K
First
of
all,
we
passed
the
student
opportunity
act
of
the
legislature
in
2019
and
it's
already
been
delayed
one
year,
we're
getting
some
funds
this
year,
but
we
really
have
to
make
sure
that
the
state
has
the
necessary
funding
to
continue
funding
that
bill.
That
law.
Sorry,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
our
schools
are
fully
funded
and
so
that
our
kids
have
the
opportunities
to
to
succeed
after
the
kids
graduate.
We
need
to
fund
higher
education
as
well,
so
that
our
students
have
access
to
quality.
Higher
education
after
graduating.
K
More
and
more
jobs
require
college
degrees,
and
that
has
to
be
an
option
for
our
students,
and
we
have
to
make
sure
that
if
a
student
chooses
to
go
to
college
after
they
graduate
and
they
choose
to
go
to
any
of
the
public
universities
or
community
colleges
or
universities
in
massachusetts,
that
they
have
the
option
to
graduate
without
being
saddled
with
debt.
I
myself
have
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars
in
debt.
K
As
the
majority
you
know
not
necessarily
the
majority,
but
a
huge
number
of
people
of
my
of
my
generation
previous
generations
did
not
have
to
suffer
through.
You
know
this
huge
of
a
loan
burden
and
future
generations
should
not
have
to
suffer
either.
So
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
investing
in
our
higher
ed
and
lastly,
transportation,
whether
it's
driving
to
work
or
riding
public
buses
and
trains.
The
people
of
chelsea
need
better
infrastructure
to
get
to
and
from
work
and
to
go
enjoy
a
weekend,
and
things
like
that
right.
K
So
the
next
step
for
this
proposal
is
that
it
has
to
get
passed
at
the
legislature
a
second
time
and
then
it
would
go
on
the
ballot
for
the
2022
election
and
then
the
people
can
ultimately
decide
whether
this
new
tax
would
go
forth.
But
I
think
it
is
crucial
for
chelsea
to
make
sure
that
the
state
has
the
necessary
revenue
to
invest
in
the
things
that
are
going
to
ultimately
help
poor
working-class.
You
know
low-income
people
of
color
as
well
right.
K
All
these
different
groups
need
this
type
of
investment,
so
I
you
know
we're
really
through
my
work
at
the
boston
teachers
union,
we're
trying
to
get
different
municipalities
to
support
this,
to
make
sure
that
the
state
legislature
realizes
that
this
is
a
something
that
the
communities
around
massachusetts
want
for,
so
that
we
can
have
investment
in
our
in
our
communities.
So
I
hope
that
the
city
council
will
will
support
this.
The
school
committee
passed
that
at
our
last
meeting,
and
so
we
would
love
for
our
counterparts,
the
city
council,
to
join
us.
Thank
you.
L
L
I've
been
in
chelsea
since
the
early
80s
I
went
through
all
of
the
school
system
off
to
college
came
back
as
a
homeowner.
My
own
children
grew
up
in
chelsea
chelsea
high
school
graduates
now
college
graduates,
so
chelsea
is
very
dear
to
us,
I'm
here
today
as
a
homeowner,
hoping
to
develop
an
empty
lot
that
I
have
at
83
to
85
library
street.
It's
about
6
900
square
feet
of
land
according
to
the
development
department.
I'm
only
able
to
do
one
unit
in
this
huge
lot.
L
So,
if
you're
standing
in
the
slot,
just
to
give
you
an
idea,
marlboro
street
is
behind
me.
You
can
see
triple
deckers
one
two
garage
three
triple
deckers,
so
as
a
homeowner
seeing
all
of
the
development
all
around
me-
and
I
know
that
if
I
sold
it
to
a
developer
and
believe
me,
they
bothered
me
every
single
day
to
sell
it
to
them.
I
know
that
12
20
units
will
go
up
there.
L
I
know
I
have
to
apply
for
variances
because,
as
I
said
right
now,
I
just
don't
qualify
to
be
able
to
develop
it
as
a
property
owner
as
a
taxpayer.
I
know
a
lot
of
the
development.
That's
going
up
all
around
me.
A
lot
of
them
are
not
paying
taxes,
and
so
I'm
just
hoping
that
there's
more
support
for
homeowners,
like
myself
the
little
people
the
little
guys
that
are
not
able
to
afford
the
huge
development
we
already
know.
Chelsea
is
very,
very
congested.
L
I'm
just
trying
to
be
able
to
utilize
the
slot
that
will
make
the
neighborhood
look
better
because
it
is
a
huge
lot
and
just
to
maintain
it
if
you've
ever
gone
in
that
direction.
There's
a
playground
across
the
street
from
it
there's
the
the
walkway,
the
green
walkway
area,
not
too
far
from
it.
It's
a
very
nice
area
and
my
lot
just
does
not
look
attractive
in
the
middle
of
all
of
that
development.
That's
been
there,
but
again
to
just
be
able
to
do
one
unit
would
be
a
shame.
A
A
Seeing
no
one
else
wants
to
come
in
front
of
the
council.
That
portion
of
the
meeting
is
now
closed.
Well,
we'll
now
move
on
to
the
approval
of
the
meeting
minutes
of
april
12th
council.
Anyone
lopez
moves
that
we
adopt
on
the
suspension.
They
accept
the
meetings
on
the
april
12
meeting
now
move
on
to
communications
from
the
city
manager.
A
We
have
a
communication
from
the
city
manager
in
regards
to
dumpster
permits.
Writing
that
attaches
the
letter,
the
list
of
all
permits
and
permanent
dumpsters
issued
by
isd.
There
are
almost
500
dumpsters
located
throughout
the
city.
Among
other
information,
the
lists
identify
the
location,
the
contractor
responsible
for
the
service
on
the
dumpster.
The
frequency
of
the
service
is
not
specifically
captured
in
our
files.
A
Typically,
isd
works
with
the
contractor
to
ensure
that
the
frequency
matches
the
level
of
trash
generated
at
the
property
isd
monitors
compliance
with
our
trash
rules
at
these
locations
and
if
there
are
violations
to
excessive
trash
isd,
will
mandate
more
frequent
service.
Please
note
that
isd
also
issues
on
a
regular
basis
permits
for
temporary
dumpsters,
typically
for
construction
projects
at
any.
Given
time,
isda
probably
has
approximately
20
to
40
of
these
permits.
Outstanding
council
lopez.
M
B
We
have
talked
specifically
about
the
possibility
of
engaging
in
a
public-private
partnership
that
would
involve
use
of
the
city-owned
land
on
chestnut
street.
Such
a
public-private
partnership
would
likely
require
some
city
subsidy,
which
is
why
I
have
for
the
past
two
years,
included
a
public
garage
item
in
the
five-year
cip,
with
five
million
as
a
placeholder.
B
That
item
appears
in
the
capital
improvement
plan
for
fy22
fy26
under
the
fy
26
projects.
I
would
caution
that
we
are
a
long
way
from
making
any
final
determination
on
a
garage.
There
is
a
lot
more
study
that
needs
to
happen
both
about
the
necessity
of
the
garage's
driving
habits
change
as
well
as
its
financial
feasibility.
B
We
have
not
yet
made
a
decision
to
proceed
with
such
a
study.
However,
we
do
have
funding
this
spring
from
mass
development
to
do
smaller
scale,
parking
supply
and
demand
study
for
the
downtown,
looking
more
specifically
at
better
utilizing
the
existing
supply
of
parking,
including
the
new
lots
under
the
tobin
bridge.
That
study
will
likely
be
concluded
in
the
summer,
although
it
is
not
explicitly
aimed
at
determining
the
need
for
a
parking
garage.
The
findings
from
the
smaller
study
may
inform
the
discussion
about
whether
the
demand
exists
for
the
costly
undertaking
of
the
parking
garage.
F
For
a
very
long
time,
I've
been
asking
for
this
parking
garage.
It
does
it's
really
not
a
lot
of
money.
It's
five
million
dollars.
We
go
through
five
million
dollars
like
nothing.
This
our
budget
is
over
100
million.
So
5
million
ain't
going
to
make
a
difference
on
getting
this
parking
garage,
and
here
it
says
we're
going
to
do
another
study
and
it's
on
the
project.
It'll
be
maybe
2026.,
that's
a
long
time.
Why
can't
we
try
to
make
it
faster?
F
Why
do
we
have
to
wait
so
long
to
have
a
garage
which
the
city
needs?
It
will
be
funded
many
ways
even
to
the
people
paying
to
park
in
the
garage,
our
city
def.
It
needs
a
parking
garage,
it
needs
it
for
the
business,
it
needs
it
for
the
people
that
live
here
and
it's
a
great
thing
to
have
a
parking
garage,
and
I
believe
that
it
should
be
done
even
faster
than
the
2026,
which
is
a
long
way
away.
Maybe
there's
some
ways
where
we
can
get
it
done
sooner.
F
A
Moving
on
to
the
next
item
on
the
agenda,
we
have
a
communication
from
rece
from
the
city
manager
regarding
the
appointment
to
the
board

health.
First
person
went
to
section

of
the
city

B
I.T
overtime
and
translation
costs
dear
counselors,
I
am
writing
in
response
to
the
recent
city.
Council
law
is
requesting
an
update
on
expenditures
for
respectively.
I
t
overtime
to
support
city
council
meetings
and
translation
costs
with
respect
to
I.t
overtime.
We
only
commence
making
such
payments
in
january
or
2021
based
upon
a
negotiated
change
to
the
steel
workers,
collective
bargaining
agreement
prior
to
that
change.
I.T
employees
were
entitled
only
to
comp
time
not
overtime
for
supporting
these
meetings.
B
Since
the
overtime
rule
took
effect,
the
city
has
expanded
through
the
end
of
march,
a
total
of
three
hundred
three
dollars
and
forty
four
cents
in
it
overtime
for
the
support
of
council
meetings.
The
rate
is
fifty
four
dollars
and
thirty
four
cents
per
hour.
With
respect
to
translation
services,
the
cost
of
that
service
is
set
by
the
city's
contract
with
the
third
party
vendor
cross-cultural
communication
systems
inc,
the
current
cost
is
60
dollars
per
hour.
B
The
costs
are
paid
through
a
line
item
in
our
fy
21,
cable,
television,
public
educational
and
governmental
access,
special
revenue
funds
budget
through
april
5th
2021.
The
city
has
increased
a
total
of
1809.80
on
translation
services,
this
fiscal
year
of
which
260
dollars
has
been
for
city
council
meetings.
N
A
We
have
the
next
communication
for
the
city
manager
in
regards
to
the
no
no
sorry
notice
of
waiver
intent
pursuant
to
administrative
code
1
period
12
period
02..
I'm
writing
to
notify
you
of
my
intention
to
hire
ms
candice
perez
is
the
first
director
of
office
of
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion.
Miss
perez
is
relocating
to
massachusetts
from
new
york.
She
has
secured
a
residential
address
at
500
ocean
ave
revere.
A
A
M
Lopez,
yes,
I
also
I'm
against
this
waiver.
If
this
person
is
gonna,
take
this
job
should
live
in
the
city.
How
you
want
to
see
what's
going
on
in
the
city,
if
you
don't
live
in
the
city,
you're
going
to
go
and
live
in
a
nice
beautiful
place.
That
will
be
a
beach
when
not
things
happen
when
you
need
to
be
here
in
the
city,
so
I'll,
I'm
really
disappointed.
Also
about
you
know
not
living
in
the
city.
Thank
you,
council
recupera.
F
D
My
other
colleagues,
you
know
her
resume
is
very
impressive.
She
seems
like
she
really
was
excited.
I
guess
she
was
excited
by
getting
through
the
process
of
all
the
interviews
and
there's
two
things
here.
One
is
you
know
she
has
a
date
that
she's
coming
into
and
to
start
july
1st,
I'm
not
sure
when
she's
moving
into
500
ocean
ave
and
revere,
but
it's
so
close
to
chelsea
that
we
have.
D
D
D
I
don't
know
how
long
the
contract
is.
If
it's
three
five
years,
it's
not
like
she
had
to
buy
a
house
in
chelsea.
Maybe
she
would
have
realized
that
hey.
I
really
love
this
community
or
I
don't
I'm
out
in
two
years,
they're
out
after
the
contract,
but
again
not
to
make
a
commitment
to
stay
in
chelsea.
What
does
that
say
to
us?
I
mean
you
want
to.
You
know
indicate
what's
wrong
with
chelsea,
but
you
I
obviously
don't
want
to
be
here
to
find
out.
A
A
I
agree
with
them
holiday
in
particular,
because
this
is
not
a
job
that
let's
say
and
again
I'm
not
putting
the
commissioner
in
place
or
in
the
spot
here,
but
it's
not
like
this
is
a
job
about
engineering
and
about
the
streets,
water
and
sewer
lines,
or
this
is
not
a
job
about
structures.
This
is
not
a
job
about
body,
I
mean
sorry
building
maintenance.
If
you
were
in
charge
of
the
schools
maintenance.
A
A
A
A
I
don't
know
again
if
it's
a
one-year
contract,
whatever
they
have
with
the
leasing
agreement,
but
I
fully
expect
to
make
a
change
and
see
a
change
in
this,
because
it
quite
honestly
is
imperative
for
this
particular
position
and
it's
sad
to
know
that
that
wasn't
really
something
harder
on
this,
particularly
because
again,
you
know,
I
understand
the
location
there
are.
There
are
definitely
comparable
apartments
in
this
community
that
are
rentals.
That
could
have
easily
satisfied
this
individual's
needs
and
requirements.
D
A
A
D
All
right
just
is
it
possible
that
we
can
explain
that
to
you
through
the
chair
that
we
can
explain
that
to
the
public,
because
you
know
again,
you
hear
five
or
six
city
councilors
talk
about.
You
know
disapproving
something,
but
again
you
know
what
we're
allowed
to
do.
So
we
can
be
clear.
I
just
want
to
be
open
with
the
public,
but
there
are
people
watching
and
here
folks
here
may
not
understand
that
position.
A
And
that,
and-
and
I
I
appreciate
the
the
suggestion
by
council
brown,
which
is
this
to
those
who
are
in
the
public-
we
have
received
the
communication
for
the
city
manager
that
he
intends
to
provide
a
waiver
of
the
residency
requirement
set
forth
in
the
administrative
code.
He
has
that
ability
to
give
a
waiver
of
residency
to
a
city
employee.
A
He
has
decided
to
do
that
with
ms
candice
perez,
the
new
director
of
office
of
diversity
and
equity
and
inclusion.
He
is
simply
notifying
the
city
council
of
his
decision
to
do
that.
The
city
council,
in
no
way
shape
or
form
has
any
power
to
reject
that
move
by
the
city
manager
is
simply
a
providing
of
a
notice
in
accordance
to
both
the
charter
and
the
administrative
code
section
that
he
must
provide
notice
of
said
residency
waivers,
but
in
no
shape
or
form.
A
B
Notice
of
wave
of
intent
here,
council
is
pursuant
to
the
administrative
code
section
112.02.
I
invited
to
notify
you
of
my
intention
to
promote
ms
kate
fox-lent
13
winter
street
number,
one
arlington
to
the
position
of
dpw
business
and
grants
manager
and
to
grant
trevory
waiver
for
from
the
residency
requirements
set
forth
in
the
administrative
code.
Part
4,
section
112.01
in
the
opinion
of
public
works,
commissioner,
fidel
martez,
ms
fox
lent,
was
the
most
qualified
candidate
for
the
position.
A
copy
of
her
resume
is
attached
in
accordance
with
section
112.02.
N
Accept
and
follow
communication
on
the
suspension
and-
and
it's
beyond
me
why
we
would
even
have
this
before
us
being
that
he's
been
an
employee
here
within
the
city
for
quite
a
while.
Now
anything
was
necessary
to
request
a
wave
of
peanut
and
we've
already
given
her
a
waiver
at
a
previous
employment.
A
Seeing
another
direction
that
that
that
communication
was
accepted
and
filed,
we
have
a
next
communication
regarding
the
revised
capital
improvement
plan,
fy
22
in
advance
of
the
subcommittee
meeting
in
the
public
hearing
and
the
cip
for
fiscal
years,
2022
to
2026.
I'm
writing
with
two
provisions
to
the
cip
for
fiscal
year
2022,
based
on
upon
more
recent
information.
A
The
most
significant
change
pertains
to
central
lav
and
willow
street
water
saw
and
roadway
work
to
be
completed
in
connection
with
the
innis
department's
redevelopment
project.
As
you
may
recall,
the
city
received
a
five
million
dollar
mass
works
grant
for
this
redevelopment,
one
million
of
which
is
dedicated
to
water
sword,
drainage,
infrastructure
work
we
recently
received
from
our
engineers
the
cost
estimate
of
75
design
that
design
added
a
new
30-inch
storm
drain
to
help
alleviate
the
flooding
in
the
willow
street
area
after
significant
storm
events.
A
This
increase
in
total
infrastructure
costs
to
over
5
million
dollars
a
copy
of
dbw
memorial
and
the
revised
budget
is
attached
to
meet
these
costs.
The
city
will
need
to
borrow
an
additional
seven
hundred,
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
the
debt
service,
which
will
be
paid
from
the
soar
enterprise
fund.
The
second
change
is
relatively
minor.
The
original
borrowing
plan
included
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
free
cash
for
the
I
t
department
to
stop
work
and
replacement
for
of
the
cisco
firewall.
A
A
We
have
another
communication
attached:
you'll
find
a
capital
improvement
program,
loan
order
for
implementation
of
the
proposed
capital
improvement
plan
for
fiscal
year
2022..
The
order
reflects
the
revised
cip
submitted
last
week.
Copy
of
the
final
2022
cip
is
also
attached.
I
respectfully
request
your
approval
of
the
loan
order.
Following
the
public
hearing
on
monday
may
3rd
councilor.
B
The
next
communications
grant
from
med
project
llc
dear
counselors,
recently
the
chelsea
police
department
security
grant
from
an
entity
in
washington
called
med
project
llc
the
grant
will
allow
the
public.
What
will
allow
for
the
police
department
to
set
up
a
program
for
the
collection
of
disposal
of
unwanted
household
medications?
A
copy
of
the
award
letter
is
attached
in
accordance
with
massachusetts,
general
law,
chapter
41
53
am
requesting.
The
city
council
formally
approved
the
acceptance
of
this
grant
of
1
300
from
mid-project
llc.
A
draft
of
the
proposed
order
is
attached.
A
We
have
a
communication
received
from
the
city
manager
regarding
free
cash
requests,
the
their
councils,
I'm
writing
to
request
the
city
council
consider
an
alternative
approach
to
ensuring
that
our
parks
and
playgrounds
in
the
city
are
well
maintained.
During
the
upcoming
season.
As
the
weather
improvements
vaccinations
increase
in
our
covered
cases
decline,
I
anticipate
greater
than
normal
usage
for
these
outdoor
spaces,
particularly
in
light
of
limited
options
we
have
had
to
enjoy
this
past
year.
A
This
would
unlikely
involve
some
substantial
start
of
the
season
to
period
the
parks
for
activity,
then
weekly
maintenance
work
and
then
a
close
of
the
season
and
winter
preparation,
I'm
hoping
to
get
some
competitive
prices
with
the
opportunity
for
landscaping
companies
to
join
the
bidding.
Although
it's
hard
to
gauge
precise
cost
of
absent
any
recent
history
in
the
work,
I
expect
that
the
price
is
somewhere
in
the
vicinity
of
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
A
Although
there
is
no
means
again
expensive,
it
is
less
than
we
propose
for
the
temporary
work
crew
and
certainly
affordable,
given
our
remaining
cash.
Based
upon
that
above,
I
respectfully
ask
for
your
approval
of
this
appropriation
to
allow
us
to
proceed
with
bidding
for
this
park.
Maintenance
work.
I
have
attached
the
giraffe
water
for
your
consideration.
A
A
N
A
The
chair
that
the
question
rises
is
the
the
presentation,
possibly
a
presentation
by
this,
the
dbw
commissioner.
So
we
have
a
order
that
will
come
up
in
relation
to
this
communication
that
will
be
sent
to
a
second
reading
and
also
a
conference
at
which
time
we
will
talk
about
the
this
communication
and
the
200
000
order.

A
gift
for
chelsea
eats
food
debit
card
program,
their
counselors.
Today
the
city
received
in
the
mail
from
a
cambridge
resident
a
check
in
the
amount
of
1
500.
As
a
gift
for
support
of
the
chelsea
eats
food
debit
card
program.
A
copy
of
the
accompanying
note
is
attached.
In
accordance
with
the
massachusetts
general
law
chapter
44-53-a.
B
A
A
We
now
have
a
communication
received
from
city
hall,
chelsea
housing
authority,
executive
director,
al
ewen,
regarding
in
his
apartment
urban
center
tax,
increment
of
financing
their
counselors
on
behalf
of
the
chelsea
housing
authority.
I'm
writing
to
you
to
request
to
amend
the
previously
granted
authorization
to
enter
into
a
15-year
urban
center
housing
tax,
increment
finance
agreement
with
joffrey
cochran
company,
joseph
sorry,
in
support
of
the
united
apartments
redevelopment
project.
A
Previously,
the
city
council
graciously
approved
the
adoption
of
the
urban
tax
increment
finance
plan.
Since
the
adoption,
the
partnership
has
worked
diligently
diligently
with
the
city
to
propel
forward
this
important
project,
however,
due
to
unforeseen
incredible
cost,
increases
in
construction
materials,
the
project
with
the
projection
of
labor
rates
and
shifts
due
to
covert
19
in
the
local
rental
market.
The
threshold
for
underwriting
investment
terms
have
changed
and
we
must
seek
additional
flexibility
to
close
the
gap
in
capital
to
finalize
the
project
financing
deal.
A
Under
this
structure,
the
estimated
net
tax
relief
of
the
15
period
15-year
period
would
be
approximately
7.4
million
compared
to
the
original
6.5
million
provided
under
the
original
agreement.
Even
with
this
tip,
the
city
will
still
earn
up
to
3.7
million
over
the
30
15
year.
Life
of
this
tif
on
the
parcel
that
currently
generates
no
tax
dollars
to
the
city.
A
table
illustrating
the
proposed
amendment
is
attached
for
consideration,
arguing.
H
H
Two
three
four
o'clock
in
the
morning,
sometimes
more
than
any
other
issue.
Since
I've
been
a
city
councilor,
there
has
I've
never
gotten
as
much
feedback
from
the
public.
As
on
this
issue
and
people
were
legitimately
traumatized,
we
had
veterans
who
have
ptsd
that
were
being
absolutely
traumatized:
newborn
babies,
pets.
H
H
D
Mr
president,
I'll
be
voting
in
favor
of
this
here
I
want
to
thank
the
counselor
and
also
the
residents
that
have
been
pounding
us
to
make
sure
we
get
some
changes
here.
This
legislation
that
we're
passing
today
is
put
in
the
residence-
those
that's
out
there
violating
this
zoning
audience
here.
It
puts
you
on
notice,
we're
actually
now
we
have
talked
to
our
legal
department.
We
have
the
teeth.
We
have
the
bite
here.
D
D
D
So
I'm
sorry
that
we
have
to
come
down
it's
hard,
but
it's
necessary
that
we
do
because
we've
given
you
all
the
opportunity
to
have
and
show
respect
for
our
community,
and
it's
just
been
really
bad
on
some
folks,
I
mean,
I
know
around
the
4th
of
july
a
lot
of
folks.
They
go
out
and
they
celebrate,
but
not
every
night.
D
Through
this
past
year
there
was
numbers
of
weeks
and
weekends
and
it
then
it
was
a
mouse
and
cat
game.
It
seems,
though,
when
the
police
was
trying
to
put
out
the
fire,
you
would
move
into
other
areas
and
the
city
and
show
them
that
you
can
just
continue
to
get
away
with
it.
But
we're
hoping
this
order
will
give
us
some
support
from
our
legal
department
and
our
police
department
to
catch
you
and
also
penalize.
K
F
I'm
in
favor
of
this
too,
the
only
part
that
I
don't
understand
is-
and
I
would
like
the
city
solicitor
to
explain
it
to
me
over
here.
It
says
general
provision,
section,
1a,
general
penalty,
criminal
and
non-criminal
disposition.
Is
this
going
to
be
a
criminal
offense
or
it's
just
going
to
be?
That's
what
I
don't
understand,
what
does
it
mean
criminal
or
non-criminal
disposition?
F
A
O
N
N
C
Chairman,
I
also
want
to
take
a
moment
to
applaud
councillor
todd
taylor
for
really
spare
heading
this
very
early
on
it's
it's
incredible.
Many
of
my
colleagues
have
pointed
out
really
good
points,
and,
and
I'd
like
to
briefly
say:
the
timing
is
perfect.
Memorial
day
weekend
is
just
around
the
corner.
C
Fourth
of
july
is
just
around
the
corner,
and-
and
yes,
I
clearly
agree
with
the
counselor
who
just
mentioned
education-
is-
is
a
key
component,
but
also
putting
our
foot
down
and
and
really
making
it
clear
to
many
residents
that
this
behavior
will
not
be
tolerated.
So
thank
you,
counselor
todd
taylor
for
putting
us
forward,
and
I
look
forward
to
the.
A
Oh,
I
just
want
to
read
one
thing
just
for
the
public,
so
the
amendment
with
voters
tonight
is
to
amend
chapter
16,
miscellaneous
offenses
and
provisions,
article
6
offenses,
involving
public
peace
and
order
as
follows:
add
a
new
subsection
0
to

noise
control
as
follows:
oh
fireworks,
the
use
of

subject
to

notwithstanding
the
other
provisions
of
the
section,
the
penalty

B
H
E

Now,
therefore,
acting
under

section

members.
I
also
see
school
committee
member
rosemary
here
who
really
spare-headed
this
this
initiative
by
bringing
it
to
their
school
committee
and
voting
unanimously
in
favor
of
this.
This
is
a
larger
narrative.
C
It's
a
larger
legislation,
that's
being
pushed
at
the
state
level
and,
as
you
may
have
heard,
during
the
public
speaking
portion,
which
was
so
eloquently
pitched
by
a
school
committee
member,
jose
alfaro,
but
also
by
school
community
member
roberto
jimenez.
This
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
be
able
to
identify
more
funds
and
ensure
that
people
who
are
making
millions
of
dollars
in
income,
not
in
wealth
but
in
income
pair
their
fair
share
and
that
we
may
guarantee
residents
throughout
our
state
better
education,
but
also
better
infrastructure.
C
D
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
again,
I
just
want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
school
committee
that
came
up
tonight
to
support
this
amendment
to
be
considered
here
for
a
city
council.
I
want
to
thank
my
colleague
for
giving
me
a
call.
Ask
me
if
I
want
to
sign
on.
I
said
yes,
I
know
this
amendment
is
quite
difficult
to
digest,
depending
on
where
you
are,
it's
not
fair
for
everyone,
that's
in
the
state
of
massachusetts,
but
it's
fair
for
the
residents
and
the
children
of
chelsea
and
other
communities
like
chelsea.
D
So
I
think
we
sometimes
have
to
compromise
what
we
do
here
and
we
have
to
compromise
with
the
best
thought
in
the
best
direction
for
the
residents
that
we
represent
so
I'll
be
supporting
this
amendment
again.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
the
voters
will
again
get
another
bite
at
this
apple
to
see
what
they
wanted
to
do,
statewide
with
it,
but
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
look
at
a
place
like
chelsea
and
surround
the
community
and
say:
hey
honestly,
you
got
kids
in
the
school
system
here.
D
We
know
that
they've
been
under
counted.
We
know
once
you
run
the
county,
that
you
don't
get
the
fair
dollars
that
you
would
be
getting
it's
almost
like
the
census.
Once
we're
under
counted
for
the
census.
We
won't
get
the
full
amount,
that's
really
allotted
for
the
number
of
people
that
we
represent
and
the
number
of
people
who
live
in
our
community.
D
This
is
a
piece
of
legislation
that
would
allow
us
to
get
an
additional
four
percent
for
those
that
make
a
lot
of
more
money
than
people
in
chelsea,
but
also
help
out
the
people
in
chelsea
and
throughout
the
commonwealth.
Other
cities
will
be
doing
the
same
thing:
lowell
springfield,
boston,
revere,
everett,
on
new
bedford.
If
you've
been
watching
the
television,
if
you've
been
keeping
up
with
this
year,
a
lot
of
school
committee
members,
elected
officials,
mayors
and
city
officials
have
been
standing
on
this
and
they're
still
wrestling
with
it.
D
So
I
think
it
gives
us
a
great
opportunity,
I'm
proud
to
support
it
again
for
chelsea.
If
I
was
living
in
weston,
I
probably
wouldn't
be
surprised,
weston
or
brookline-
I
probably
wouldn't
be
supporting,
but
I'm
living
in
chelsea,
I'm
going
to
support
the
people
that
I
believe
that
needed
the
most
here
and
I
believe
it's
our
kids.
Thank
you.
H
A
A
A
A
However,
I
just
don't
support
what
this
particular
manner
is
being
presented
in
front
of
us.
I
think
it's
a
little
unfair
divisive
participates
in
the
type
of
politics
I
never
wanted
to
participate
in,
which
is
like
class
warfare.
I
never
wanted
to
participate
into
that
and
I
think
it's
a
little
bit
hypocritical
and
I'll
get
to
that
in
a
little
bit
later,
but
I
also
think,
as
an
economist,
that
this
would
be
very
damaging
to
our
state.
A
You
think
it's
going
to
be
beneficial
to
chelsea,
but
overall
it
won't
be.
Not
when
you're
damaging
the
state
as
a
whole
as
you're
talking
about
society,
there
are
five
states
already
that
have
done
this,
and
all
five
states
have
lost
its
residents,
who
have
felt
burdened
and
have
left
the
state
and
move
to
other
states
that
don't
have
the
same
tax
burden
that
is
similar
to
this
measure.
A
So
do
we
want
to
join
connecticut,
maryland
california
and
new
jersey
on
this
sort
of
burdening
the
millionaires
club
and
again,
the
number
that
was
picked
here
was
done,
not
done
scientific.
It
just
said
you
know
we're
just
going
to
grab
a
number
in
the
air
and
say
yeah.
If
you're
a
millionaire,
you
can
just
put
it
just.
What
do
you
mean
well
thought
out
and
if
you
don't
think
that
people
will
move
already,
an
example
have
already
been
set
in
this
world.
A
We've
already
seen.
We
are
right
now
watching
massachusetts
and
new
hampshire
go
at
it,
embroiled
in
a
fight
over
tax
dollars,
because
formerly
there
were
employees,
people
live
in
massachusetts
that
are
now
working
remotely
that
used
to
commute
and
because
of
the
pandemic,
stayed
at
home,
but
their
jobs,
their
location
was
massachusetts
and
massachusetts
tried
to
continue
to
tax
those
individuals
and
keep
their
income
and
mass
in
new
hampshire.
Is
there
saying
whoa
whoa
wait
a
minute
that
was
before
when
there
was
no
transportation
going
back
between
the
states,
but
now
they're
they're?
A
Here
you
know
we're
moving
to
this
type
of
world
where
you
will
not
have
to
go
to
another
state
to
work.
You
can
work
remotely
and
you're
located.
Your
job
is
going
to
be
a
cloud
trust
me.
That's
that's
the
world
we're
coming,
so
this
will
speed
up.
If
you
don't
think
that
someone's
going
to
say
why
am
I
going
to
live
in
a
in
a
state?
That's
high
tax
it'll
happen
earlier.
A
I
said
hypocritical,
and
why
do
I
say
that
in
2000
there
was
a
similar
ballot
on
a
question
that
asked
the
voters
of
massachusetts.
Everybody
had
the
choice
to
reduce
their
taxes
from
5.85
down
to
5
percent,
and
sixty
percent
of
the
voters
in
this
state
chose
to
vote
left
to
vote
to
pay
less
taxes
in
2000.
A
60
said
I
don't
want
to
pay
more.
I
want
to
pay
less
from
5.85
down
to
5.
It
wasn't
the
millionaires
who
said
I
don't
want
to
pay
more.
It
was
everybody
who
said
I
don't
want
to
pay
more,
and
you
can
imagine
the
calamity
that
happened
immediately
after
governor
james
with
proposed
a
new
budget
and
it
slashed
local
aid.
A
Schools,
teachers,
fire,
firefighters,
police,
were
all
going
to
get
laid
off
because
of
this
dramatic
cut.
Because,
again,
when,
given
the
choice
of
whether
or
not
I
want
to
pay
more
in
taxes,
of
course,
people
are
going
to
say
no
and
that's
what
ended
up
happening
to
avoid
this
calamity,
the
state
legislator
said
wait
a
minute:
let's
try
to
do
this
in
little
small
segments
and
they
added
5
per
year
reduction
until
just
now,
just
now,
in
2020
january,
2020
was
the
first
year
we
actually
reached
five
percent.
A
So
you
want
to
know
why
our
schools
were
losing
money,
why
local
aid
dropped?
Why
there's
no
money
for
infrastructure
as
much
as
they
used
to
be?
That's?
Why?
Because
the
voters
back
then
said
I
don't
want
to
pay
more,
and
yet
this
group
there's
now
a
movement
to
say.
Oh,
I
don't
want
to
pay
any
more,
but
I
want
them
to
pay
more.
A
That
makes
no
sense.
That's
why
I
can't
get
on
board
with
this
because
it
doesn't
make
you
know
if
we're
all
in
it
together.
Let's
come
up
with
a
plan
all
together,
let
this
agency
or
this
organization
say,
put
a
ballot
question
that
says
everyone's
going
to
pay
5.5
increase
in
another
0.5
percent,
but
that
would
be
harder,
but
it's
easier
to
do
when
you're
saying
oh,
I
want
them
to
pay.
A
And
it
was
dead
on
arrival.
The
legislature
didn't
want
to
because
they
didn't
want
to
fear
the
repercussions
of
the
voters
in
massachusetts
that
were
going
to
pay
an
extra
five
cents
in
transportation
for
an
extra
five
cents
in
gas
that
gas
tax
hasn't
been
touched
since
1993,
the
same
19
cents
that
we're
collecting
the
state
collects
in
1993
is
the
same
gas
tax
that
they're
collecting.
Today,
we've
seen
everything
talk
to
us
about
the
types
of
costs
that
have
gone
up,
labor
costs
have
gone
up.
A
Construction
materials
have
gone
up,
whether
you're
using
cement,
steel
or
asphalt,
which
is
used
by
our
highway
division
for
new
roads.
Whether
you
want
to
buy
a
new
train,
everything
has
gone
up
in
price,
but
we're
still
stuck
at
collecting
19
cents
because
it
was
never
adjusted
to
inflation
and
whenever
anyone
talks
and
proposes
to
the
state
legislature
lets
everyone
pay
a
little
bit
extra
they're
afraid
they
don't
have
the
political
will
to
face
the
ire
of
the
general
public.
A
A
A
I
am
willing
to
draft
another
call
resolution,
one
that
asks
our
state
legislature
to
increase
the
gas
tax,
one
that
says,
let's
increase
our
personal
tax
from
five
percent
to
5.5
for
everybody,
one
that
says:
hey
the
people
who
are
riding
on
93,
don't
get
a
free
ride
as
a
commuter
from
the
north
shore.
I
don't
like
it
that
if
you
get
on
the
tobin,
you
got
to
pay,
but
you
don't
pay
and
you.
If
you
drive
through
the
tunnel,
you
got
to
pay.
A
A
You
put
that
I
will
put
that
on
a
resolution.
Those
other
ways
of
it
being
fair
and
I'll
support
it.
But
this
this
whole
thing
of
just
saying:
let's
just
collect
from
the
millionaires
club
that'll,
solve
the
problems.
That'll
help
us
that's
not
a
way
to
go.
It's
divisive
and
it's
you
know
again,
it's
just
it's
just
the
easy
way
to
go.
It's
a
scapegoat
approach.
A
There
are
real
ways
to
do
it.
You
have
to
have
the
political
will
and
be
able
to
say
I
will
face
the
fire
of
the
residents
and
the
voters
who
are
going
to
be
disappointed
or
pissed
off
that
I
increase
the
price
of
gas,
oh
well,
or
I'm
going
to
put
tolls
on
93
and
north
and
south,
oh
well.
Cape
cod
is
going
to
be
pissed
off.
Everyone
stopped
the
boss
going
to
be
pissed
off.
Oh
well,
join
the
club.
A
N
D
B
A
A
C
I
H
D

A
A
N
P
E
A
A
D
D
Since
we
started
since
this
playground
has
been
placed
here
a
few
years
back,
this
area
has
changed
right
now,
it's
going
into
two
lanes.
A
lot
of
cars
are
actually
it's
going
into
two
lanes,
but
it's
one
two,
it's
three
different
directions
that
you
can
go
at
either
one
moment
right
at
the
start
and
because
there's
a
lot
of
kids
now
starting
to
come
out,
the
residents
in
that
area
have
been
complaining.
D
There
I'd
like
the
manager
to
have
this
move
to
the
traffic
apartment
for
their
next
meeting
and
see
if
they
can
actually
put
a
sign,
slow
down
children
or
just
try
to
curb
the
curve,
the
location
where
they
turn
on
and
make
the
sign
more
visible.
So
we
can
stop
a
potential
accident
there.
Thank
you.
D
D
D
Once
they
come
down
the
blue
street,
they
have
to
turn
on
arlington
street
and
there's
been
mornings
where
the
buses
had
to
back
up
because
that
cars
parked
on
the
corner.
Once
you
turn
there,
you
can't
get
past
because
both
cars
are
popped
on
one
side
of
the
seat.
On
the
right
hand,
side
you're,
the
sales
operation
for
the
automobiles
are
there's
no
parking
on
the
corner,
but
it
parked
the
cars
parked
close
to
the
corner
from
everett
ave
in
arlington.
D
N
B
N
N
And
at
that,
at
at
that
time
we
made
some
changes
to
the
zoning
ordinances
and
a
vision
for
the
area
that
chelsea
has
been
reconsidering.
The
types
of
uses
that
can
be
undertaken
at
the
property
and
chelsea
prefers
that
a
mixed
use,
which
would
include
residential
component
rather
than
a
use
that
is
holy
or
partially
retail
or
retail
and
commercial,
be
constructed
on
a
property
which
would
be
the
only
uses
allowed
under
that
zoning
ordinance
and.
N
Back
in
in
2005
chelsea
submitted
to
the
city
council
proposed
zoning
changes
that
would
extend
the
existing
to
the
property,
which
will
require
mixed-use
projects
comprised
of
a
combination
of
two
or
more
of
the
following
uses:
residential
office,
retail,
restaurant
hotel
and
open
space,
and
I
think
it's
time
that
they
come
before
this
board
and
and
give
us
an
update
on
what
their
plans
are
for
the
property
and
since
2005
until
today.
For
me,
it's
unacceptable.
N
A
F
This
is
just
asking
the
city
manager
if
we
can
talk
to
the
businesses,
if
they
will
do
it
as
a
courtesy,
they're
not
required
to
do
it,
but
a
lot
of
people
don't
have
iphones
and
don't
have
computers.
So
it
would
be
a
nice
thing
for
people
to
get
it
on
paper
by
law.
We
can't
ask
these
businesses
to
do
because
it's
we
can't
ask
them,
but
we
can
ask
them
if
they
will
consider
as
a
courtesy
to
the
community
if
they
will
do
it.
M
This
is
just
trying
to
help
people
who
are
they're
not
really
savvy
using
the
internet
or
their
phones
when
they're
looking
for
jobs,
I
know
there's
many
places
like
walgreens
cbs
and
some
other
big
places,
and
if
you
go
and
apply
for
a
job,
they
say:
oh
yeah,
go
on
the
internet
and
apply
online
there's
a
lot
of
people
in
our
community.
That
cannot
do
that,
so
we're
just
trying
to
help
our
people
in
our
community.
Thank
you.
F
F
P
A
A
C
P
C
Know
I
am
fully
aware
that
we
have
a
subcommittee
on
rules,
but
given
that
this
meeting
is
specifically
to
discuss
an
overview
of
rules
and
an
overview
of
public
speaking
and
matters
that
affect
every
city
councilor,
I
am
making
a
request
to
make
this
a
subcommittee
on
conference
for
everyone
to
attend
as
not
an
optional
manner,
but
more
of
courtesy
for
for
everyone.
So
that's
why
I
make
that
a
subcommittee
conference.
So
I
want
to
make
that
clear
and
the
rest,
I
think,
is
pretty
self-explanatory.
C
N
Senator
to
the
rules
and
ordinance
committee-
and
the
reason
being
is
that
we
do
have
a
rules
and
audience
committee.
In
the
beginning
of
every
year
we
always
say
that
we
adopt
the
previous
rules
and
regulations
to
this
council
until
such
time
that
there
is
a
change.
I
think
it's
a
you
know
and
those
anybody
can
go
to
the
meeting
when
it
goes
before
the
rules
committee
and
I
think
the
appropriate
place
for
it
to
be
should
start
in
the
rules.
A
Conference
for
a
council-wide,
all
council
versus
council
of
robinson
makes
an
amendment
that
it
should
just
be
sent
to
the
subcommittee
on
rules
and
ordinances
ordinances.
A
if
a
yes
vote
passes.
We
adopt
councillor
robinson's
amendment
that
would
send
this
to
the
committee
on
the
subcommittee
on
rules
and
ordinances,
counselor,
taylor.
A
And
myself
as
the
chair
so
and
you
and
you
as
a
chair
so
again
now,
even
though
those
are
the
three
members
of
the
committee,
anyone
is
welcome
to
any
counselor
can
go
to
the
meeting
and
speak
much
like
any
of
our
other
consul
council
meetings.
However,
if
anyone
if
they
objected
this
and
want
this
to
be
the
whole
committee
conference
on
committee
with
all
city
councillors,
you
can
object
to
council
robinson's
amendment
and
then
we'll
go
back
to
the
original
motion.
D
Whether
it's
on
the
subcommittee
of
conference
or
rules
committee,
I
think
it's
important
that
we
all
attend
these
meetings.
We
have
already
had
some
discussion.
Hopefully
we
haven't
forgotten
why
it's
important
for
us
to
be
having
this
meeting.
I
think
this
is
something
that's
going
to
benefit
the
whole
council
matter
of
fact.
I
know
it
will
benefit
the
whole
council.
As
we
stated,
some
of
these
rules
have
been
so
outdated.
D
D
Regarding
our
elected
position
status,
I
think
we
need
to
really
get
together
and
I
think
it
will
be
very
fruitful
if
we
can
just
all
agree
on
this
motion
this
order
tonight
that
this
here
should
go
to
subcommittee
instead
of
just
having
an
option
to
show
up
at
a
three-membership
meeting.
Thank
you.

The
governor
of
the
commonwealth,
he
actually
put
in
the
law
that,
if
you
have
a
housing
authority,
one
housing
authority
member
would
be
an
elected
member
from
the
state.
Unfortunately,
since
he's
been
there
and
since
that
law
was
passed,
they
have
not
given
us
really
the
language
of
how
to
move
forward
with
it.
D
F
I
like
to
apologize
to
the
people
outside
I'm,
I
went
deaf
in
one
ear
and
I've
been
asking
the
city
to
give
me
an
ear
set
and
they
still
say
cost
too
much
money.
So
I
can't
hear
a
lot
of
this
stuff.
I
want
an
asset,
I'm
legally
deaf
on
one
side
and
I
can
prove
it.
The
disabled
act
requires
that
I
have
one
so
I
should
have
one
where
so
I
can
hear
god
two
years
ago,
took
my
hearing
away
out
of
one
side.
F
A
He
made
an
amendment,
it
was
not
voted
on
and
I
like,
if
anyone
has
any
objection,
I'd
like
to
speak
from
the
chair
that
amendment
has
to
be
voted
on,
so
we
haven't.
We
haven't
voted
on
the
amendment
to
this
goes
to
the
charter
and
if
I
may
speak
any
objection,
thank
you.
I'm
not
going
to
be
voting
to
just
be
sent
to
the
charter,
because
I
think
that
boards
and
commissions
can
be
part
of
the
administrative
code
and
not
necessarily
part
of
the
charter
itself.
N
A
A
A
But
what
we
don't
have
is
a
tenant
council
for
many
of
the
re
other
units
across
the
city
in
a
city
that
has
nearly
80
percent
of
its
housing
as
apartments.
I
think
that
our
tenants
here
in
the
city
are
residents
who
are
tenants
in
these
apartments.
They
don't
have
an
avenue.
They
don't
have
a
way
to
have
anyone
advocate
for
them,
nor
a
system
when
there
are
any
sort
of
problems
and
complications
that
rise.
A
There
has
been
thought
that
maybe
larger
buildings
such
as
the
glenn
building,
can
create
its
own
tenant
council
and
that's
fine.
It
has
so
many
apartments
in
that
one
complex
that
to
find
people
who
want
to
participate
in
a
council.
That's
easy,
but
that's
not
as
easy
to
create
a
tenant
council
when
you're
living
in
a
three
family
when
you're
living
in
a
six
family.
It's
just
not
as
easy
to
create
attendant
council.

in
favor
not

three
absent;
okay,
the
next
order
introduced
by
council.
I
was
the
nato
out
of
that.
The
city
council
hereby
accepts
the
and
approves
the
gift
from
ms
and
b
murphy
in
the
amount
of
one
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
for
support
of
the
chelsea
eats
food
debit
card
program.
D
I
just
want
to
thank
the
we
got
the
order
in
the
copy
of
the
check
earlier.
I
really
want
to
just
go
on
record
just
to
say
thank
you
to
this
lady
from
cambridge,
who
sent
this
over.
It
goes
to
show
that
not
only
we're
doing
good
work
here,
but
people
appreciate
what
we're
doing
here
and
they
also
see
the
need
of
those
that
are
in
need,
especially
around
this
time
with
the
pandemic.
D
This
is
fifteen
hundred
dollars
that
again
will
support
our
e-debit
card
program.
So
again,
when
you
see
folks
from
outside
the
city
coming
in
to
help
it
really
encourage
us-
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you-
I'm
not
sure
if
she
or
her
family's
online
or
any
family
members
here,
but
if
so,
please.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
1500
donation.

Mr
president,
I
to
the
residents
and
everyone
I
just
want
us
to
applaud
ourselves
for
the
work
that
we're
doing
here
to
try
to
beat
this
cover
19,
but
I
also
want
to
remind
us
that
we're
not
out
of
the
woods
yet.
We
still
have
to
stay
diligently
to
attack
this.
We
still
have
shot
mr
manager.
We
still
have
vaccine
shots
available.
We
still
have
them
available.
D
Please
get
in
contact
with
the
city
hall.
Here
it's
it's
light
it's
coming
through
the
tunnel,
but
we
still
have
to
still
do
what
we
have
to
do.
We
still
have
to
be
very
cautious.
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
conversation
about
unmasking
and
walk
around
if
you
already
had
your
two
doses
of
shot
or
if
you
had
your
one
dose
of
johnson
and
johnson.
Let
us
still
remember
when
this
first
came
upon
us
chelsea
was
the
hardest
hit
with
the
largest
people
with
that
cover
19..
D
So
to
say
that
we
are
a
condensed
small
community
with
a
lot
of
bodies,
so
we
still
have
to
continue
to
cover
up.
We
still
have
to
be
aware
of
our
surroundings
and
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
get
through
this
by
the
end
of
the
summer
or
you
know,
august
and
september.
So
please
be
aware:
it's
still
out
there.
Thank
you
serious.
