A
Good
evening
council
brown,
we
have
you
recognized.
I
also
am
aware
that
I
received
a
communication
from
council
annual
lopez
that
he
will
be
coming
and
surviving
late,
so
we
will
start
while
we
await
his
arrival
at
this
moment,
I'll
ask
the
city
manager
to
begin
by
making
his
opening
statement
and
go
through
the
presentation.
D
D
I
can
my
my
recommendation
is:
let
me
quickly
go
through
the
40
items.
I
have
alex
train
and
fidel
maltese
here
because
they
in
some
of
these
bigger
projects.
They
know
the
details
far
better
than
I
they've
been
involved
in
the
design
work
and
so
to
the
extent
that
there
are
questions
on
the
details,
they're,
probably
better
able
to
answer
than
I
am,
but
let
me
quickly
go
through
each
of
these
items.
D
A
lot
of
these
are
items
you
have
seen
before
in
past
cips
and
were
kind
of
proposing
to
do
the
same
work
and
that's
true
for
the
first
two,
which
is
architectural
services
and
public
building
renovation
work.
So
the
architectural
services
are
those
services
that
we
need
to
help
us
design
some
improvements
to
our
public
buildings.
The
request
is
for
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
that
work
and
then
the
renovation
work
is
half
a
million
dollars.
This
would
help
us
to
continue
to
upgrade
our
public
buildings.
D
D
D
The
city
in
the
past
has
thought
about
trying
to
relocate
that
city
yard
build
a
new
city
yard
somewhere
trying
to
do
that
is
very
expensive.
It's
difficult
to
find
land
in
this
city.
We've
made
the
decision
now
that
you
know
with
an
expenditure,
perhaps
of
a
million
or
two
million
dollars
over
the
course
of
the
next
couple
years.
D
We
can
probably
do
the
necessary
renovations
to
keep
that
city
yard
active
and
operating
efficiently
in
the
existing
location,
for
perhaps
as
long
as
another
decade,
at
which
point
this
decade
from
now,
the
city
could
consider
some
longer
term
solution,
but
we
think
that
we
have
a
solution
for
the
next
decade
or
so,
but
step
one
is
to
replace
the
roof
and
that's
what
this
item
is
for.
This
is
a
roof
replacement
of
the
existing
dpw
city
yard.
D
The
next
three
items
are
all
school
department:
capital
projects.
The
money
will
come
from
the
school
stabilization
fund,
there's
adequate
funding
in
there
for
these
three
projects,
it's
the
repair
of
the
roof
and
exterior
envelope
of
the
high
school
roof
and
exterior
envelope
for
the
mary
c
burke,
complex
and
replacement
of
hvac
units
at
the
early
learning
center.
D
D
D
The
next
item
is
another
vehicle
for
water,
sewer
and
drainage.
It's
a
small
truck
that'll
be
helpful
to
move
around
some
equipment
there
again.
This
is
a
28
000
expenditure
that
would
come
out
of
retained
earnings.
The
meter
replacement.
This
is
an
ongoing
five-year
project
to
ultimately
replace
all
the
water
meters
in
our
city.
This
is
the
third
year
of
a
five-year
program
to
replace
meters.
We
have
allocated
300
000
for
this
purpose,
each
of
the
last
two
years
and
we're
proposing
the
same
thing
again.
D
The
next
item
is
one
of
the
two
changes
that
I
sent
you
under
coveletta
last
week
for
your
consideration
for
tonight.
This
is
the
firewall
replacement
in
the
original
letter
to
you
in
on
february
one.
This
was
identified
as
a
fifty
thousand
dollar
free
cash
item,
but
in
the
interim
we
received
a
ninety
thousand
dollar
uac
grant,
and
so
we
will
use
the
ninety
thousand
yuasi
grant
to
do
a
full
firewall
replacement.
D
It
was
intended
to
be
a
two
year
project
previously,
but
now
we'll
do
it
all
we'll
do
it
all
this
year
with
this
grant
that
we
will
not
need
any
appropriation
from
free
cash.
For
this
purpose,
item
number
12
is
an
upgrade
to
our
website.
Our
website
is
a
little
dated
at
this
point
and
it
needs
an
upgrade
and
we
would
like
to
do
that.
D
The
next
four
items
are
things
that
are
in
our
cip.
Basically,
every
single
year,
they're
sort
of
I.t
replacements,
of
existing
items
that
just
have
a
a
life
cycle
that
needs
replacement
every
year,
and
so
it's
replacing
the
desktops
replacing
the
public
safety
toughbooks,
replacing
some
of
our
service
storage
and
and
replacing
some
of
our
servers
and
you'll
see
these
items
just
about
every
year
in
our
cip,
because
each
year
some
of
them
need
to
be
replaced
just
to
keep
them
all
updated
and
that's
those
four
items.
D
The
current
vehicle
we
want
to
replace
is
15
years
old
and
at
the
end
of
its
useful
life
item,
number
18
again
one
of
these
recurring
expenses
just
to
upgrade
library,
computers
and
furniture.
It's
a
ten
thousand
dollar
item.
That's
will
be
in
the
operating
budget.
All
these
items
that
I
just
mentioned,
the
last
six
will
be
reflected
in
the
operating
budget
of
the
fy
22
budget
proposal.
D
D
The
next
item
is
the
garden
cemetery.
This
is
a
seven
phased
project
and
we
are
in
the
sort
of
second
phase
of
phase
two
right
now
doing
the
exterior
wall
and
the
fence
work.
This
is
to
do
phase
three,
which
I
believe
is
work
on
the
monuments
and
the
crypt
we
have.
You
have
seen
it's
online,
the
multi-year
garden
cemetery
restoration
plan.
We
probably
have
to
update
the
pricing
on
that
plan
because
it's
been
now
about
four
years,
since
we
got
that
pricing,
but
the
plan
itself
is
the
plan
we
are
following.
D
D
D
D
The
next
item,
23,
is
just
we
typically
try
to
replace
some
of
our
cameras
around
the
city
every
year.
Some
of
them
reach
the
end
of
their
useful
life,
and
this
is
a
free
cash
request
to
replace
some
of
our
many
cameras
that
exist
around
the
city.
Similarly,
the
next
item
same
thing.
Every
year
we
replace
some
of
our
cruises.
The
cruises
are
sixty
two
thousand
dollars
apiece,
and
this
would
replace
four
of
them.
D
D
D
D
When
you
think
about
all
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
in
this
area,
the
barrier,
the
flood
protection,
the
salt,
mass
restoration,
the
tide,
gate
changes,
the
tide
tie,
gate
restoration,
the
culvert
improvements,
all
the
work
that
has
to
be
done
and
everett.
That
goes
along
with
this,
to
ensure
that
the
water
just
doesn't
curve
around
the
everett
side.
This
is
probably
a
50
million
dollar
project.
D
We
expect
that
we're
going
to
have
a
very
competitive
proposal
for
fema
once
we
have
all
of
our
permitting
in
place.
This
is
an
effort
to
just
advance
the
permitting
part
of
this
massive
project
and
it's
a
request
for
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
from
free
cash,
the
signalization
upgrades
at
select
locations.
This
is
just
to
continue
our
efforts
to
upgrade
our
smart
traffic
lights.
We've
done
these
smart
traffic
lights
at
broadway,
eastern
we've
done
them
on
broadway
and
williams,
they're
very
effective.
D
They
make
a
big
difference
and
but
they're
expensive,
but
we
want
to
continue
the
process,
and
so
this
is
a
request
for
funding
to
continue
that
effort.
Item
30
is
a
new
fire
vehicle
for
the
deputy.
That
vehicle
is
old.
This
was
intended
to
be
in
last
year's
cip
and
I
think
we
pulled
it
to
save
some
money,
but
this
vehicle
does
need
replacement.
This
is
a
fire
deputy's
vehicle.
D
D
The
chapter
ninety
requests,
so
every
year
we
get
roughly
five
hundred
ninety
six
thousand
dollars
from
the
state
for
roadway
work.
We
always
try
to
add
more
money,
so
we
can
do
more
roads,
we're
proposing
this
year
to
add
half
a
million
dollars
from
our
own
free
cash.
So
we
can
do
roughly
a
million
one
worth
of
work
over
the
course
of
this
construction
season
in
doing
new
roads
and
sidewalk
work.
D
We've
specifically
pulled
out
item
33,
which
is
marlboro
street
sidewalks,
because
that's
a
specific,
expensive
item,
the
sidewalks
on
marlborough
street.
They
will
cost
400
000
just
for
that
alone,
so
that
would
eat
up
a
lot
of
our
chapter
90
money.
If
we
didn't
pull
this
out,
we
did
the
roadway
work
in
marlborough
street
last
year,
but
the
sidewalks
are
in
really
poor
condition.
So
we'd
like
to
do
the
sidewalks
there,
the
cdbg
surface
enhancements
this
is
so
most
of
this
will
come
from
cdbg
money,
but
we
will
need
a
share
to
do
it.
D
This
is
for
improvements
that
are
I
outlined
in
the
book
for
chester,
ave
and
sharmot.
The
only
thing
I
want
to
say
about
cdbg
is
there
is:
there
has
been
a
delay
in
the
cdbg
process
because
of
covid?
Typically,
we
would
have
submitted
our
cdbg
request
for
this
year.
Already,
however-
and
alex
could
talk
a
little
more
about
this-
we
got
word
from
the
federal
government
that
they
are
now
delaying
the
cdbg
submission
until
december,
and
it's
going
to
be
a
combined
two-year
cdbg
for
21
and
22
and
so
we'll
be
submitting
in
december.
D
This
will
be
an
infrastructure
project
for
that
submission,
but
it's
delayed
at
least
six
months,
but
this
is
the
submission
it's
for
chester
and
charmin
complete
streets
that
sidewalk
bike
path,
pedestrian
improvements
we
get
allocated
because
we're
a
complete
streets
community.
We
get
allocated
400
000
every
year
from
mass
d.o.t
and
we
get
that
money,
but
you
have
to
come
up
with
a
contribution,
and
so
the
75
000
is
our
required
contribution
for
that
everyone
in
chestnut
redesign,
that's
in
the
intersection,
every
chestnut
that
has
been
the
pedestrian
and
vehicular
problematic
intersection.
D
D
D
The
upper
broadway
easement
acquisition,
so
up
a
broadway,
as
you
know,
is
that
multi
10,
plus
million
dollar
project,
that's
underway
right
now,
with
the
drainage
and
utility
work.
The
water
and
sewer
work
to
be
followed
by
drainage,
roadway
and
sidewalk
work.
Most
of
the
money
for
that
project
is
coming
from
the
federal
government.
It's
a
federal
highway
project.
D
So
there
are
isolated
areas
where
our
sidewalk
actually
extends
on
to
private
property,
and
so
we
have
to
take
formal
easements
from
people
in
order
to
keep
the
sidewalk
in
the
same
location
where
it
is
in,
and
so
this
is
the
cost
of
doing
the
necessary
acquisition
and
the
legal
filings
that
we'll
need.
The
federal
government
won't
provide
us
with
this
final
sign
off.
D
D
The
cotter
and
willow
water
sewer
roadway
work.
This
is
all
the
work
that's
going
to
be
done
in
and
around
the
innis
redevelopment.
This
is
the
second
one
that
I
updated
for
you
in
my
letter.
It's
because
the
work
came
we
just
in
the
interim
period
since
I
sent
that
letter
got
an
updated
price
from
our
designers
and
the
cost
is
is
more
than
we
anticipated.
D
When
I
submitted
the
letter
back
in
february,
we
think
we
need
another
750
000
in
part
because
we
upgraded
the
drainage
system
in
the
hopes
that
we
could
alleviate
some
of
the
flooding
that
we
all
know
exists
on
willow
street
after
every
storm,
and
so
the
the
hope
is
that
with
upgraded
drainage,
we
could
alleviate
that,
but
we
think
we
need
another
750
000,
and
so
that's
the
change.
That's
in
here
from
the
original
proposal
is
that
additional
750,
000
borrowing
or
under
sewer
bonds.
D
The
last
two
lead
service
replacement.
We
are
doing
this
every
year,
we're
borrowing
300
000
from
the
mwra
to
replace
lead
service
lines
in
the
city.
So
every
time
we
find
one
of
these,
we
replace
it
at
no
cost
to
the
resident
and
we're
borrowing
300
000
a
year
to
continue
that
work
everywhere.
We
uncover
sometimes
we
we
do
isolated
ones
most
of
the
time
we
do
them
in
conjunction
with
a
project
when
we're
digging
up
a
street
and
the
final
one
is
the
storm
water
management
plan.
D
A
C
D
D
C
D
D
D
You
know
repair
work,
but
we're
going
to
need
to
get
a
structural
engineer
out
there
we're
going
to
need
to
get
an
architect.
So
this
is
just
the
amount
of
money
to
help
us
assess
the
problem
over
the
course
of
this
fiscal
year
fiscal
year,
22,
with
the
hope
that
we
could
start
designing
something
for
the
spring
and
be
ready
to
spend
money.
Next
summer
summer
of
fy
22
with
a
fy
23,
cip,
appropriation.
D
E
My
one
of
my
other
questions
is,
as
in
regards
to
the
sidewalk
repair.
Is
that
somehow
we
can
get
on
our
radar
street
as
the
kids
who
walk
to
school
going
down
on
the
right-hand
side,
there's
a
bunch
of
sidewalks
that
are
pretty
beat
up
or
cracks
and
just
not
suitable
for
elderly
or
anyone.
That's
pushing
it
in
a
wheelchair
or
a
walker.
D
F
A
My
colleague
had
already
asked
the
question
about
the
stairs
which
I
appreciate.
It
was
one
of
the
things
that
myself
and
the
previous
council
from
the
district
louis
tajada
had
pushed
for
trying
to
rehab
what
we
consider
historic
stairs
so
I'll,
be
interested
in
learning
a
little
bit
more
about
that
the
is
there.
Besides
the
what
is
planned
for
broadway
in
in
the
next
upcoming
year.
I
didn't
I'm
trying
to
see
what
we
had
here
regarding
beyond
the
work
and
upper
broadway.
D
Design
ongoing
design
work
but
you've
already
fun.
We
have
the
money
for
that
design.
Okay,
already
you
funded.
You
gave
us
a
five
million
dollar
appropriation
about
two
years
ago.
We
have
not
spent
all
that
money,
that's
what
we're
using
for
our
design
work
so
alex
and
phil,
probably
a
better
sense
of
where
we
exactly
stand
on
that
project
in
terms
of
design,
but
we
have
secured
already
about
six
and
a
half
million
from
massdot
for
that
project,
with
the
expectation
we'll
get
more,
but
alex
may
has
much
more.
G
Great,
thank
you
so
we're
right
now
in
the
process
of
designing
the
streetscape
and
utility
improvements
for
broadway
from
the
city
hall
area
down
to
williams
street
that's
been
fully
funded.
Additionally,
we
are
beginning
the
design
of
bellingham
square,
as
well
as
the
area
outside
of
city
hall.
With
that
same
funding
and
we'll
be
initiating
that
design
process
this
spring
and
then,
lastly,
the
city
manager
alluded
to
additional
funding.
We
are
right
now
preparing
a
grant
to
the
u.s
department
of
transportation.
G
You
may
be
familiar
with
the
tiger
grant
program,
so
we'll
be
targeting
that
program
for
construction
financing
for
utility
reconstruction,
as
well
as
any
surface
reconstruction
that
mass
dot
won't
pick
up.
So
we
should
hopefully
have
that
application
in
by
july
and
notice
from
the
feds
by
the
fall.
A
Tom
with
this
read
with
this
work,
the
redesign
of
bellingham
square
and
and
the
work
in
broad
way.
What
I
I
don't
see-
and
I
spoke
to
you
briefly
about
this-
is
actual
work,
redesign
of
say,
for
example,
chelsea
square
itself
inside
the
sidewalks
like
I
see
the
work
on
the
on
the
street
and
maybe
some
sidewalk,
but
I
participated
in
a
planning
session
years
ago
about
reimagining
what
chelsea
square
would
look
like.
A
So
I
would
love
to
see
at
some
point
us
come
back
that
as
we're
redesigning
the
streets
on
this
and
the
sidewalks
that
we
look
back
and
say.
Look
we
already
went
through
a
programming
so
that
when
we
re-envision
the
square
itself
and
we're
planning
whether
there
be
city
events
and
gatherings
that
the
current
configuration
doesn't
make
sense
for
what
this
community
is
looking
for
and
we've
we've
tried
to
bring
people
downtown.
A
D
So
you
did
raise
this
with
me.
Unfortunately,
it
was
after
I
had
submitted
the
cip.
I
did
commit
to
you
that
if
we
weren't
able
to
make
any
progress
on
that
with
existing
funds
this
year,
I
would
indeed
have
a
specific
line
item
in
the
fy
23
cip,
for
that
purpose
spending
some
money
to
look
at
the
parkland
piece
of
chelsea
square.
As
you
know,
we
are
redesigning
the
streets
around
it,
including
raising
the
level
of
second
street
between
the
two.
D
I
did
mention
this
to
alex
about
looking
at
that,
I
don't
know
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
any
of
that
in
the
next
calendar
year,
but
I
have
committed
to
you-
and
I
have
a
note
on
my
desk-
that
this
will
be
a
piece
of
our
fy23cip
to
look
at
that
parkland
piece
of
it
again.
This
is
a
sort
of
a
term.
D
G
Yeah,
I
guess
the
only
the
only
item
I
would
add
would
be
you
know
we
likely
do
have
sufficient
funding
for
the
chelsea
square
piece.
It's
just
going
to
come
down
to
a
matter
of
leading
to
parallel
community
engagement
processes
around
the
design.
So
what
I
guess
I
would
propose
right
now
would
be
to
kick
off
bellingham
square.
You
know
this
spring
and
then
you
know
come
summer.
We
should
assess
whether
we
can
spearhead
chelsea
square
within
fy22
or
if
we
should
leave
it
to
fy23
just
to
allow
for
a
robust
community
process.
A
Understood
so
you
are
okay,
so
I
saw
that
they
were
doing
work
on
marlboro
street
and
separately.
There
is
lead,
paint,
lead
pipe
replacement
program,
so
the
two
could
go
inside
inside
correct
when
they're
talking
about
redoing
the
sidewalks
in
certain
areas.
Are
they
also
looking
at
concurrently
or
is
that
only
done
with
the
doing
water
and
sore
work
in
a
new
way.
D
So
I
you
know,
that's
I'll
turn
this
over
to
fidel,
but
I
think
probably
redoing.
The
sidewalks
is
not
when
we're
going
to
uncover
lead
pipes.
If
we
identify
one
independently,
we
would
probably
do
it
while
we're
digging
the
sidewalk.
But
I
don't
know
that
we're
going
to
it's
not
going
to
be
a
process,
that's
going
to
easily
enable
us
to
identify
lead
pipes
on
marlborough,
but.
H
So
I
am
very
confident
that
actually,
the
all
of
the
lead
has
has
been
replaced
in
in
marlborough,
bellingham
and
grove,
but
the
the
the
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
that
we're
doing
every
year,
which,
which
is
not
something
that
that
a
lot
of
communities
are
are
doing
so
so
I
thank
you
for
that.
I
is,
is
a
proactive
program.
H
Basically,
if,
if
any
resident
calls
in
and
says
hey
I
live
on
on
beacon
street
or
or
on
you
know,
on
garfield
or
wherever
it
is,
we
we
will
go
out
and-
and
we
will
verify
that
it's
lead
and
and
we
will
replace
everything
basically
up
up
to
the
water
meter
and
ensure
that
that
lead
is
taken
out.
But
on
a
marble
street
in
particular,
all
of
the
lead
has
been
replaced
already.
A
Have
you
reviewed
any
closed
projects
and
any
unused
money
that
we
may
end
up,
seeing
come
back
and
use
for
others
or
we
because
it
was
discovered
that
a
year
or
two
ago
this
was
something
that
was
we
were
unaware
of,
and
now
the
council
has
been
made
aware
that
there
was
these
little
pots
of
money
left
from
projects
that
have
already
been
completed.
So
my
question
is:
what's
the
status
of
projects
that
have
been
completed
and
some
money
left
over.
D
We
are
in
the
process.
Updating
that
list
was
one
of
our
goals
coming
into
fy21,
but
we've
had
so
many
other
issues
to
deal
with
that.
I
don't
have
an
updated
sheet.
I
don't
there's
no
project
out
there.
That
has
huge
amounts
of
money
left
in
it,
but
the
best
thing
for
me
to
do
is
to
update
that
list.
For
you,
I
can
assure
you
that
anything
that
has
money
in
it.
We
will
try
to
utilize
so
that
we
can
finish
all
of
these
projects
that
are
on
our
cips
a
lot
of
times.
D
We
have
the
best
use
of
that
money
is
when
one
of
these
projects
goes
over
and
we
need
to
find
some
source
of
funds
and
in
the
past,
that's
what
I
have
done.
I've
come
to
you
saying
we
have
some
money
left
over.
Let's
close
out
this
account,
let's
use
it
to
fund
some
additional
work.
I
we
just
did
that
on
one
project,
not
that
long
ago,.
D
F
D
Yes,
so
what
is
the
update
on
that?
Yes,
so
please.
What
I
was
saying
is
that,
right
now
we
are
in
the
second
half
of
phase
two
of
that
major
seven
year:
reconstruction
of
the
garden
cemetery.
This
is
continued
work
on
the
exterior
wall
and
fence.
So
that's
the
work.
That's
ongoing
right
now.
The
next
phase
of
the
seven
phased
plan
is
work
on
the
krypton
mausoleum
and
some
other
items,
and
we
and
that's
what
we
have
proposed
to
fund
we're
basically
going
to
follow
the
plan
as
presented
to
the
council.
D
The
plan
is
a
detailed
plan.
It's
on
our
website.
What
you
missed
is
me,
saying
that
the
plan
is
great
and
still
remains
the
road
map
for
us.
What
has
changed,
though,
is
the
pricing.
Those
prices
are
now
three
four
years
old,
so
we
have
to
upgrade
the
pricing
so
that
the
plan's
pricing
is
can
make
sense
and
alex's.
I
know
we
talked
about
going
back
to
our
architect
to
do
that.
F
D
G
Just
throwing
that
out
yeah,
so
we
we
might
be
able
to
put
cameras
on
the
utility
poles
by
the
entrances.
I
don't
know
if
we
could
put
cameras
in
the
interior
of
the
cemetery
because
of
the
historic
standards
we
have
to
follow,
but
we
can
definitely
find
out
for
you,
as
the
city
manager
indicated,
we're
progressing
through
phase
two
right
now,
which
is
the
reconstruction
of
the
central
ave,
retaining
wall,
repointing
of
chester,
abs,
retaining
wall,
the
replacement
of
all
the
remaining
perimeter,
fencing
and
the
restoration
of
50
gravestones.
G
So
this
phase
three
will
be
the
the
crips
that
are
on
site,
50,
additional
gravestones
and
then
the
installation
of
new
stone
dust
pathways
as
well
as
some
tree
planting.
You
know
we
we've
more
or
less
updated
the
the
pricing
that
the
city
manager
is
referring
to
for
this
most
recent
phase.
So
the
pricing
in
front
of
you
is
is
relatively
accurate
and
we're
currently
updating
pricing
for
the
latter
phases.
But
the
the
work
is
going
to
be
pretty
significant.
G
A
D
I
think
I
can
probably
have
it
done
I'll,
just
I'll
talk
to
ned
tomorrow,
but
I'm
sorry
I
wasn't
familiar
with
the
june.
Is
there
a
june
1
deadline
for
the
vote?
Okay,
then
I
guess
we'll
have
to
do
it
so
we'll
have
to
have
a
loan
order
for
you
to
provide
you
with
for
the
may
third
meeting,
we'll
do
that
I'll
work
on
that
this
week.
