From YouTube: City Council Meeting of 11-23-21
Description
City of Chelsea
A
D
A
B
Let
me
read
it:
whereas
jeanette
washington
was
born
on
january
1st
1938
and
was
a
lifelong
president
of
chelsea
and
an
active
member
of
the
motherboard
people's
a.m.
Church
congregation
and
whereas
jeanette
washington
has
survived
by
deborah
charles
allen,
john
and
late
sheila
and
her
two
sisters,
shirley
thompson
and
roberta
mccoy
and
a
host
of
grandchildren
and
great-grandchildren
and
whereas
jeanette
washington
was
an
independent
person
who
would
perform
many
tasks
and
instilled
in
her
family
to
follow
her
example.
E
A
B
The
next
item
is
the
chelsea
international
band,
whereas
the
chelsea
introduced
by
councillor,
garcia
and
all
members
of
the
council,
whereas
the
chelsea
international
band
is
a
marching
band
that
was
founded
in
2019
by
the
committee,
honduras,
yundo
united
massachusetts
and
whereas
much
prior
to
the
pandemic.
The
local
non-profit,
camito,
honduras.
B
And
whereas
today
the
chelsea
international
band
is
composed
of
18
chelsea
residents,
ranging
in
ages
and
cultural
backgrounds.
Many
members
have
never
played
on
instrument
before
and
whereas
the
goal
of
the
chelsea
international
band
is
to
teach
participants
how
to
bring
communities
together
through
the
love
and
appreciation
of
music
and
whereas
it
is
admirable
to
see
their
talent
shine
through
a
local
event
like
the
chelsea
multicultural
festival,
ribbon
cuttings
and
other
city
sponsored
events.
D
D
For
me,
it's
an
honor
today
to
recognize
the
chelsea
international
band
for
their
merits
in
the
arts
and
culture,
and
let
me
tell
you
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
The
chelsea
international
band,
as
you
may
have
heard
from
this
resolution,
they
were
they're
chelsea
residents,
18
chelsea
residents,
many
of
them
who
had
never
played
an
instrument
in
their
life
and
just
before
the
peak
of
the
pandemic,
they
came
together
to
create
a
marching
band
for
chelsea
to
really.
D
At
local
events,
they
learned
how
to
play
an
instrument
through
time,
dedication,
commitment
and
they
created
this
beautiful
band.
That
has
delighted
many
of
us
in
local
performances
throughout
many
local
events
here
in
chelsea,
from
ribbon
cuttings
to
other
local
events
being
done
at
non-profit
organizations.
Charging
absolutely
nothing.
D
D
E
You
thank
you,
mr
president,
I'd
like
to
also
salute
and
congratulate
the
chelsea
international
band
for
their
dedication
for
their
rich
heritage
that
they
continue
to
still
in
the
city
of
chelsea.
The
pandemic
gave
us
all
something
that
we
can
reflect
on
and
I'm
just
grateful
that
you
guys
and
you
folks
reflect
on
something
that
you
can
share
with
our
city,
I'm
very
much
appreciative
and
and
want
to
just
say,
congratulations
and
thank
you
for
your
dedication
and
your
support
of
our
city.
Thank
you.
A
A
G
Thank
you,
mr
president.
Tommy
bracino
city
manager,
I'm
here
in
support
of
the
two
votes
that
are
required
tonight
in
order
to
allow
the
city
to
move
forward
with
the
setting
of
the
tax
rate.
As
I
mentioned
last
week,
we
did
a
pretty
comprehensive
review
of
our
valuations
this
year,
particularly
focusing
on
the
one,
the
four
plus
residential
units.
G
As
a
result
of
that,
we
are
prepared
to
set
a
tax
rate,
provided
the
council
takes
the
two
votes
that
I
recommend
that
will
result
in
a
tax
rate
of
residential
properties
of
13.24
cents
per
thousand
and
commercial
properties
of
25.72
cents
per
thousand.
The
two
votes
that
I'm
asking
you
to
take
tonight
are
the
votes
that
provide
the
most
benefit
possible
statutorily
for
residential
taxpayers.
It
would
be
adopting
the
35
residential
exemption
and
adopting
a
hundred
and
the
minimum
residential
factor
that
results.
G
When
you
do
a
hundred
and
seventy
five
percent
shift
putting
more
of
a
burden
on
commercial
industrial,
personal
property
and
creating
some
relief
to
residential
tax
base.
If
those
two
votes
occur
tonight,
then
we
can
set
the
tax
rate
and
the
rates
are
likely
to
be
very
close
to
what
I
just
suggested.
There's
always
a
chance
there
should
be.
It
could
be
some
minor
adjustment
as
we
submit
the
final
tax
recap
sheet
in
december.
G
I
also
ask
that
you
do
this
tonight,
take
the
vote
tonight
by
unanimous
consent
and
allow
the
vote
to
happen
with
just
a
single
vote.
I
ask
that,
because
delaying
this
to
the
next
council
meeting
on
december
6th-
that's
kind
of
late
in
the
game,
it
means
that
we're
way
down
at
the
bottom
of
the
queue
for
the
department
of
revenue-
and
it
just
puts
a
lot
of
pressure
on
us
to
get
our
tax
bills
out
for
that
january.
1
deadline.
G
If
I
could
indulge
the
if
the
council
of
doubts
me
on
the
second
public
hearing,
I
rise
as
an
opponent
to
the
specific
language
in
the
ordinance,
I'm
not
opposed
to
the
principle
of
a
linkage
fee.
We've
had
a
lot
of
discussion
about
this
and
there's
a
lot
of
good
in
what
in
the
ordinance
as
it's
proposed.
G
My
only
request
would
be.
We
send
this
to
a
subcommittee,
so
we
could
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
specific
language.
Ultimately,
this
will
be
the
council's
determination
and
I
will
certainly
enforce
whatever
the
council
decides,
but
I
do
think
there
might
be
a
way
to
improve
upon
some
of
the
language
as
presented
at
least
at
the
moment.
So
if
it
sends
a
subcommittee,
I
think
we
might
be
able
to
work
out
a
reasonable
compromise,
either
way,
whether
it's
this
ordinance
or
what
changes
I
might
propose.
G
I
do
think
it's
pretty
clear
either
way
when
we're
adopting
a
linkage
fee,
it
does
require
a
home
rule
petition.
It
does
require
statutory,
it
does
require
legislative
authority.
I
should
say
so.
Whatever
ultimate
language
we
decide
upon,
or
this
council
decides
upon,
will
require
a
home
rule
petition.
So
that's
it.
Thank
you,
mr.
A
Anyone
else
on
the
tax
rate
or
the
proposed
zoning
amendment
as
part
of
the
community
impact
agreement,
seeing
none
at
this
time.
I
will
close
the
hearing
on
the
tax
rate
we'll
be
voting
on
that
tonight.
On
the
hearing
on
the
zoning
agreement
that
will
remain
open,
we
do
have
a
scheduled
subcommittee
meeting
in
the
future.
We
were
supposed
to
be
earlier,
but
due
to
a
heavy
city
council
schedule,
that
subcommittee
meeting
got
bumped
up
and
we
retained
and
kept
this
hearing
in
place
because
it
was
always
already
put
notice.
A
H
H
The
last
year
I
held
it
from
falling
back
falling
down
the
the
power
company
came
in
and
put
a
poll
and
what
they
did.
They
tie
it
up.
They
use
a
choker,
a
choker
as
a
cable,
cable,
cable
they
put
around
and
they
clamp
it,
and
this
pass
last
week
when
we
got
the
stone
coming
up,
that
paul
went
in
and
pulled
the
new
pole
and
it's
pulling
it
down
underneath
my
my
barbecue
was
within
three
feet
away
from
from
the
pole.
I
got
some
pictures,
I'm
going
to
leave
it
here.
H
The
bottom
of
the
pole
is
completely
rotten.
Now,
I'm
a
british
painter
and
I
know
about
rigging.
I
know
what
it
does
when
you
have
the
place
that
the
cable
hooked
up
in
the
wrong
place,
how
the
how
this,
how
it's
going
to
swing
once
up
once
it
keeps
going
up
if
any
snow
gets.
On
top
of
that
pole
up
there
this
year,
that
pole
is
going
to
come
up
a
barbecue
in
the
middle
of
the
winter.
H
You
know
it's
on
my
property,
we
call
in,
I
call
osha,
they
told
me
to
call
attorney.
You
know
I
came
here.
They
sent
somebody
out.
There
said
tony,
we
can
do
nothing
and
I
understand,
but
this
this
is.
This
is
bullet
hell
out
there.
You
know
it's
an
issue
right
there.
If
it
goes
to
the
other
side,
any
kids
up
there,
the
cable,
the
cables
they
don't
know
who
owns
the
cable
somebody
put
it
there.
I
didn't
put
it
there.
H
Somebody
put
a
pole
on
my
property,
I
mean
that
was
put
in
the
water
on
the
house,
but
I
own
my
house,
you
know
that's
my
property
and
no,
I
get
no.
I
get
nothing
from
here,
nothing
from
the
state,
because
the
attorney
general
said
give
me
a
number
to
call.
So
I
did
call
you
know
and
they
send
somebody
they
send
the
power,
the
verizon.
H
It's
pulling,
the
cable,
the
because
still
have
the
lamp
phone
it's
pulling
the
cable
off.
So
all
that
they
did
is
they
stretch
the
cable
up
and
left
the
pole.
There
they
didn't
move
all
they
had
to
do.
They
got
a
pole
in
there
all.
You
had
to
move
all
this
wire
to
the
new
pole
and
that's
gone
the
po,
but
nobody
nobody
nobody's
responsible.
I
mean
I'm
here.
I
need
some
help.
H
I
need
some
help
and
then
something's
got
to
get
done
and
I
want
to
make
this
public
if
I
get
hurt
here,
if
I
get
hurt
in
there
because
people
won't
be
responsible.
This
is
this
is
life.
This
is
one
of
the
reasons
I'm
going
here
because
I'm
sick
and
tired.
You
know
I
pay
my
taxes
every
day,
I'm
never
behind
every
year.
Never
behind
you
know
I
need
some
help.
F
Good
evening,
roberto
jimenez-40
eleanor
street
member
of
the
chelsea
school
committee,
I'm
here
to
speak
about
the
precinct
and
district
map
of
the
council
past
last
meeting.
That's
up
today
for
our
reconsideration
and
rescission.
I'm
asking
that
the
council
vote
to
resend
the
map
that
was
passed
last
meeting
and
open
an
actual
community
input
process
for
municipal
redistricting.
I
will
begin
with
one
very
important
point,
which
is
that
combining
counselors
for
cupro
and
lopez
could
potentially
open
up
the
city
for
a
lawsuit
based
on
a
legal
argument
of
continuity
of
representation.
F
That
was
certainly
a
consideration
discussed
in
briefings
that
the
drawing
democracy
coalition
had
around
legislative
redistricting,
and
I
took
part
off
as
part
of
my
other
job
beyond
that.
I
believe
that
the
current
process
has
not
allowed
for
the
city
council
to
properly
weigh
in
on
the
process
with
just
a
hearing
and
then
a
vote
60
minutes
later.
As
far
as
I
know,
there
have
not
been
any
conversations
on
the
demographics
of
the
people
in
these
new
precincts.
F
So
are
we
taking
into
account
how
we
may
be
keeping
together
or
splitting
apart
specific
communities
of
interest
in
these
drafts,
even
the
way
that
these
maps
were
put
out
is
inaccessible?
I
did
a
lot
of
work
in
redistricting
as
part
of
the
drug
democracy
coalition,
and
even
I
am
having
a
hard
time.
Reading
these
maps
seems
to
me
like
the
process
we
had
is
lacking
in
community
input
and
has
been
done
in
a
way
that
confuses
rather
than
informs
the
public.
F
I
think
we
should
do
something
similar
to
the
process
that
the
legislature
ran
for
their
redistricting
process,
which
involved
a
lot
of
community
engagement
in
different
communities,
including
chelsea.
That
is
how
we
won
a
new
incumbent,
free
state,
rep
district.
How
has
the
chelsea
city
council
engaged
the
community
throughout
this
process?
It
doesn't
seem
like
this
crucial
step
has
happened,
ultimately
we're
looking
at
a
deadline
of
december
15th,
which
is
still
three
weeks
away.
We
have
three
weeks
in
which
we
can
have
more
conversations
about
these
precincts
before
decisions
are
made.
F
Let's
take
advantage
of
that.
Furthermore,
the
december
15
deadline
is
for
precincts,
not
for
districts.
We
could
draw
new
precincts
and
then
take
the
time
that
we
need
to
figure
out
which
precincts
should
be
put
together
to
form
the
new
districts.
And,
lastly,
I
am
curious
about
what
happens.
If
we
don't
meet
the
december
15
deadline,
will
the
state
find
the
city?
Will
anybody
go
to
jail?
I
don't
think
so
on
either
count.
F
I
We
need
to
be
looking
at
data
that
actually
talks
about
like
how,
if
and
how
we
need
to
touch
those
lines
around,
representing
typically,
it's
done
when
there's
population
growth
which
the
city
has
experienced,
but
the
changes
that
are
being
discussed.
I'm
trying
to
understand
the
rationale
behind
that
proposal
and
I'm
hoping
that
there
can
be
some
continued
conversations
and
communication
about
that
with
the
community
about
the
decisions
that
are
being
made
ultimately
each
seat.
Each
person-
that's
elected
here,
sits
here
representing
the
district.
I
Lastly,
as
a
woman,
a
puerto
rican
woman
that
lives
here
in
this
community
a
long
time,
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
honor
the
process
and
the
voices
of
our
people.
These
two
districts
that
would
be
impacted
deserve
to
have
equal
representation,
and
it
doesn't
seem
like
the
proposed
map
would
allow
for
that
level
of
equity
that
has
existed
so
I
would
just
hope
to
have
more
information
from
the
council
about
the
decisions
that
are
being
made
and
why
the
proposed
map
was
the
only
proposed
map
that
was
sent
forward.
I
J
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
speak
tonight.
My
name
is
mirna
concepcion
rodriguez.
I
am
the
pastor
of
nueva
vida
umc,
that's
located
at
195
shirtless
street
and
I
was
appointed
to
this
congregation
back
in
2018
and
I
have
been
serving
the
community
for
the
last
42
months
and
21
of
those
months
has
been
in
the
middle
of
this
pandemic,
which
all
of
us
have
been
struggling
with,
and
we
have
a
community
that
has
been
suffering
and
struggling
through
this
pandemic.
J
You
need
my
mask
off
better.
Yes,
okay,
I'm
sorry!
You
want
me
to
start
okay,
so
let
me
start
again,
so
my
name
is
myrna
concepcion
de
rodriguez.
I
am
the
local
licensed
pastor
at
mount
bellingham
avida
umc
at
195
sherlock
street,
and
we
have
a
parsonage,
that's
located
at
32
bellingham
street,
and
we
are
here
to
ask
for
the
assistance
to
have
a
lien
removed
from
the
property
which
the
city
placed
that
dates
back
to
2005
and
2006,
and
I
wanted
you
to
see
who
we
were
so.
J
J
J
J
As
I
said
before,
the
members
of
this
community
of
our
church
live
in
this
community.
They
work
in
this
community,
many
of
them
locally.
Our
children
go
to
school.
Here
they
have
graduated
from
chelsea
high
school
and
many
have
gone
on
to
college,
so
it
is
a
community
that
looks
to
continue
to
get
involved
and
help
themselves
and
educate
our
children
to
move
forward.
J
In
2019,
we
received
a
tax,
lien
statement
from
the
city
and
one
our
worship
leader
who
happens
to
be
here
tonight,
also
had
come
to
the
city
and
ask
what?
Why
did
we
get
a
tax
bill
because
we're
a
church
and
he
was
told
that
it
was
probably
a
mistake
not
to
worry.
There
was
no
further
explanation,
so
we
forgot
about
it.
A
J
J
The
attorneys
say
that
their
mass
general
law
allows
for
this
to
happen
so
that
there's
an
instrument
of
taking
of
property
when
taxes
haven't
been
paid,
but
this
definitely
conflicts
with
mass
general
law.
59
chapter
5,
which
says
religious
organizations,
are
exempt,
so
we're
looking
for
relief
from
the
city
from
this
bill.
E
A
So,
for
some
of
us
from
some
of
the
some
of
those
who
were
sitting
here
for
a
first
time
in
the
city,
council,
chambers
and
and
speaking
in
front
of
city
council,
the
public
speaking
portion
is
the
ability
for
any
resident
or
stakeholder
to
address
the
city
council
and
state
whatever
business
they
want
to
speak
to.
That
may
be
in
the
agenda
city
councils.
However,
it
is
not
an
ability
to
react
or
respond
to
any
questions
or
issues
raised.
A
The
items
that
we
can
only
address
are
those
that
are
on
the
agenda.
So
I
do
understand
that
my
colleague,
counselor
garcia,
has
placed
a
motion
on
the
subject
matter
in
our
agenda
and
we
will
shortly
get
to
it
at
which
point
we
expect
it
to
be
introduced
and
then
sent
to
the
city
manager,
but
we'll
get
to
that.
But
I
just
want
make
sure
that
you
understand
there's
no
back
and
forth
between
the
counselors
and
the
audience
so
so
that
you
don't
think
that
we
are
not
listening
to
your
concerns.
A
K
B
Some
explanation
is
required
on
the
timing
of
this
request.
The
e-911
supervisors
union
is
a
very
small
union
consisting
of
only
two
members.
The
two
supervisors
in
the
emergency
management
department,
the
separate
contract
for
this
union,
a
three-year
contract
covering
the
period
july
1
2019
through
june
30th
2022,
was
actually
negotiated
with
this
group
in
the
summer
of
2019.
B
B
B
0
and
fy
21
and
3
and
fy
22
were
approved
by
the
city
council
in
late
september.
Accordingly,
it
is
now
necessary
to
approve
the
resulting
cost
impacts:
three
percent
for
fy
22
for
the
supervisors.
Pursuant
to
this
attached
contract,
I
have
attached
an
order
for
the
requested
approval.
There
is
no
need
for
any
separate
order
for
this
transfer
or
appropriation
of
funds
to
cover
this
three
percent
wage
increase
for
fy
22.
B
K
A
We
have
a
next
communication
received
from
the
city
manager
regarding
the
reduction
of
free
cash
appropriation
and
balancing
of
fy
22
budget
death
councils.
I
am
writing
with
a
request
that
the
city
council
reduce
its
use
of
free
cash
and
fy
22
budget
from
hundred
ninety
two
thousand
ninety
two
dollars
to
zero
dollars.
We
no
longer
need
any
free
cash
to
balance
the
fy
22
ballot
budget.
A
At
the
time
I
submitted
to
the
city
council
on
fy
22
budget
in
early
may
of
2021,
I
anticipated
that
we
would
need
some
free
cash
to
balance.
The
budget
that
proposed
fy
22
budget
was
premised
upon
anticipated
revenue
from
new
growth
of
approximately
1
million
dollars.
However,
our
actual
new
growth
over
for
fy22,
submitted
to
the
department
of
revenue
is
more
than
3.9
million,
because
this
new
growth
number
is
in
far
excess
of
what
we
anticipate
at
time
of
budget
submissions.
A
There
is
no
longer
any
need
to
utilize
free
cash
to
re
cash
reserves
to
balance
the
fy
22
budget.
For
the
above
reason,
I
am
asking
the
city
council
re
to
vote
to
reduce
the
free
cash
for
appropriation
of
892
092
approved
in
conjunction
with
the
fy
22
budget
to
zero.
A
draft
order
to
accomplish
this
purpose
is
attached.
The
vote
requires
just
a
single
reading.
Council
robinson.
K
A
We
have
a
communication
from
the
city
manager
in
regards
to
the
fiscal
year.
2022
tax
rates
council
is
in
follow-up
to
the
november
8th
2021
presentation
on
taxes
and
valuations.
I'm
writing
to
request
two
votes
required
by
the
city
council
prior
to
setting
the
tax
rate.
The
first
vote
required
is
setting
the
residential
exemption
pursuant
to
mgl
for
chapter
59,
section
5c,
I'm
recommending
that
we
maintain
the
35
exemption
the
maximum
allowed
by
statute.
This
will
provide
the
fullest
possible
tax
relief
to
benefit
the
owner
occupants.
A
This
city
has
historically
always
voted
by
virtue
of
doctrine,
minimal
residential
tax
factor
that
results
in
a
175
percent
shift
to
transfer
to
commercial
industrial
properties.
The
max
amount
of
the
tax
levy
allowed
by
law.
I
recommend
I
recommend
the
same
this
year.
If
the
175
shift
is
adopted
along
with
35
residential
tax
exemption,
then
residential
tax
rate
will
likely
be
13.23
depending
on
dor
approval
per
mill
and
the
commercial
rate
will
be
25.68
cents
per
mil.
A
K
B
L
Here's
the
part
that
I
I
can't
understand
here.
Everybody
gets
a
decrease,
but
three
family
homeowners
get
an
increase.
Now.
Why
is
that?
If
everything
else
in
our
city
went
up,
condos
went
up.
This
and
single
family
went
up.
Everything
went
up
in
our
city,
but
everybody
gets
a
decrease,
but
tree
family
gets
an
increase.
L
That's
putting
a
tax
burden
on
homeowners
that
own
their
homes
here
and
on
renters
that
the
homeowners
rent
to
that
means
that
all
anybody
that
owns
a
tree
family,
I
could
see
what
is
a
modest
increase.
One
percent
two
percent,
but
the
part
that
I
still
don't
understand
is
single
family
increased
condos
increased,
but
yet
they
get
a
reduction,
but
three
families.
L
They
don't
get
nothing.
What
they
get
is
an
increase.
What
is
a
modest
increase?
One
percent,
two
percent,
three
percent.
So
how
was
that
fear?
Everything
in
our
city
went
up
so
if
everything
in
our
city
went
up
and
then
now
you're
lowering
this,
but
yet
you're
not
doing
it
to
the
tree,
you're
increasing
them.
So
what
you're
doing
is
you're
creating
an
issue
for
homeowners
that
are
here
to
have
renters,
because
the
big
in
our
city,
we
only
have
20
percent,
not
even
that
are
actually
homeowners
that
own
their
houses
in
the
city.
L
The
rest
are
big
corporations,
they
own
these
buildings,
so
it
doesn't
matter
to
them
what
they
do
to
the
tenants,
but
the
poor
homeowners
that
are
here
which
want
to
keep
that
tenants
which
they
don't
want
to
kill
their
tenants
and
drive
them
out
will
have
to
increase
when
everybody
else
decreases.
So
that's
the
part
that
I
don't
understand.
L
L
Why,
while
the
corporations
that
own
these
big
buildings,
they
don't
matter
to
them,
they're
going
to
turn
around
and
drive
the
tenants
out.
So
what
happens?
Is
it's
a
quicker
way
to
get
people
out
of
the
city
to
gentrify
you're
gentrifying
faster?
Because
if
you
in
return
are
lowering
the
rates
for
one
two
condos,
but
not
for
trees,
so
if
you're
going
to
lower
it,
everything
else
went
up
just
the
same
you're
telling
me
a
condo
didn't
go
up.
You're
telling
me
a
single
family
didn't
go
up.
L
So
if
you
spread
a
tree
family,
okay,
three
family
average,
your
family,
seven
hundred
thousand,
so
each
unit
is
what
three
six
nine
less
than
three
hundred
thousand
a
piece.
So
what
is
a
single
family
home?
Three
hundred
thousand?
What
are
you
charging
three
hundred?
What
is
it
for
condo,
three,
four
five,
so
what
what
is
happening
is
a
simple
thing.
For
years
I've
been
saying
the
same
thing,
but
I'm
gonna
tell
you
what
the
thing
is
through
the
years.
They
always
put
the
burden
on
three
family
homes.
L
They
always
have
predominantly
that's
what
they
do
all
the
time
they
do
not
consider
the
homeowners
that
are
there.
I
get
a
35
residential
exemption,
but
my
taxes
we're
not
twice
as
much
okay.
My
house
is
worth
twice
as
much,
but
so
is
a
condo.
So
is
a
single
family.
So
it's
a
true
family.
So
if
they
see
a
decrease,
a
tree
family
should
see
it
the
same
as
them,
because
they're
not
a
big
apartment
unit
that
has
10
12
14
units.
L
L
L
Here's
a
final
thing
to
it.
It's
plain
and
simple:
the
big
corporations
in
this
city,
80
percent,
it's
owned
by
big
corporations.
20,
is
owned
by
you,
the
homeowners
that
are
here
so
you,
the
homeowners,
stand
up
for
yourselves,
go
up
and
tell
them
give
me
a
break
too
corporations.
They
don't
care
they're
going
to
raise
that
enemies,
they're
going
to
drive
people
out
so
if
you're
a
homeowner
and
you're
in
a
tree
family
home.
L
A
Anyone
else
is
there,
anyone
who
adjusts
to
me
talking
from
the
chair.
No
thank
you.
This
is
a
subject
matter
that
I
have
been
pretty
much
working
on
for
the
last
couple
of
years
and
I
just
want
to
go
back
here
and
discuss
some
numbers
that
were
presented
here
as
part
of
the
presentation,
and
I
call
it
the
good
news,
bad
news,
so
important
numbers
that
we
need
to
know
is
that
in
this
vote,
the
city
manager
is
asking
us
to
increase
the
tax
levy
of
our
budget.
A
Our
budget
is
over
220
million
dollars,
and
the
portion
of
that
budget
that
is
paid
for
by
property
taxes
is
66
million
dollars
and
we're
going
up
two
and
a
half
from
last
year
last
year
was
about
63
64
million.
He's
asking
us
please
and
go
by
the
mass
allowed
two
and
a
half
percent
and
we're
getting
to
66..
A
A
A
I
want
you
to
imagine
in
simpler
terms.
I
have
a
three
family.
Paul
has
a
three
family
we're
next
to
each
other,
we're
pretty
much
the
same.
I
look
at
my
tax
value
they're
telling
me
I'm
worth
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
They
look
at
paul's
house
and
they're,
saying
he's
only
worth
two
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
they're
like
wait
a
minute.
We
have
the
same
house.
How
can
I
be
at
500
and
he's
at
250.?
A
That's
technically
what
I
was
raising,
but
paul
wasn't
a
three
family
like
mine,
his
was
a
much
larger
building
and
hence
it
didn't
make
any
sense,
the
values
that
they
had.
So
I
urge
the
city
manager
to
please
look
into
this
and
they
did
they
hired
a
specialist
he
came
in
and
he
went
to
work
in
that
111
category
112
category,
which
are
the
larger,
multiple
families
and
guess
what
in
our
books
they
are
finding
a
30
increase
in
the
values
of
that
sector.
A
A
A
We
found
that
value,
that's
what
the
neighbor
had
next
door
and
that's
what
I
was
saying.
How
can
you
ask
me
to
pay
my
portion
of
the
taxes
when
you
have
value
up
there,
that
you're
not
getting
and
spreading
now?
What
does
that
mean
700
and
that
284
million
dollars
translate
if
you
med
tax,
that
use
that,
by
the
rate
of
the
thirteen
twenty
three
mill
that
we're
using?
That
comes
to
three
million
seven
hundred
and
fifty
seven
thousand
dollars,
four
million
dollars
of
taxes?
A
That's
not
new
taxes!
All
that
ma
the
four
million
dollar
taxes
means
that
the
those
multi-families
are
going
to
be
paying
that
four
million
dollars
that
we're
asking
for
it's
not
going
to
be
born
or
paid
for
by
the
single
family,
homeowners,
the
condo
owners
and
so
forth,
because
they
weren't
paying
their
fair
share
when
they
were
spreading.
This
all
out
one
more
minute:
that's
about
four
million
dollars,
so
we're
still
going
to
have
a
residential
tax
exemption
and
based
on
the
fact
that
we
captured
all
this
value
across
the
board.
A
All
the
other
categories
of
residential
are
going
to
come
down
number
one.
We
have
a
lower
tax
rate
than
last
year.
Number
two:
a
three
percent:
three,
almost
four
percent
five
percent
and
a
nearly
a
point:
eight
one
percent
increase
on
the
three
families
less
than
one
percent.
So
if
you
own
a
three
family,
you
paid
a
hundred
dollars
last
year,
you're
paying
101
dollars
this
year,
not
really
much
of
a
difference,
but
your
value
went
up,
but
despite
values
going
up
in
all
those
categories,
we're
still
paying
less.
Why?
A
Because
we
pressed
off,
we
pressed
and
we
got
all
that
value.
The
bad
news,
really
simple.
There's
more
work
to
be
done.
That's
all!
We
did
a
lot
of
work
this
year,
or
rather
the
assessor's
department.
Finally
did
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
more
work,
find
more
value,
and
I'm
urging
my
colleagues
to
vote
yes
and
favor
this,
because
it
was
an
incredible
job
by
the
assessors,
the
consultant
to
find
that
value
and
we
are
lowering
our
taxes.
A
M
B
D
A
B
A
C
B
C
A
Okay,
now
we'll
go
back
to
our
regularly
scheduled
program
here
agenda,
and
that
is
that
we
will
have
the
communication
received
from
the
city
manager,
tom
members
regarding
approval
of
five-year
contract
with
computer-aided
dispatch
and
records
management,
their
counselors.
I'm
writing
to
request
that
the
city
council
approve
a
five-year
contract
with
central
square
for
the
new
computer-aided
dispatch
and
records
management
cad
rms.
The
cost
is
144
dollars,
950
and
75
cents
annually,
at
the
total
value
for
five
years,
is
724
753
and
75
cents
for
over
a
year.
A
The
city's
emergency
management,
in
collaboration
with
the
I.t
department
and
the
police
and
fire
departments,
has
been
involved
in
a
lengthy
effort
to
secure
a
new
cad
rms
system.
The
current
system
has
long
passed
its
useful
life
after
a
rigorous
rfp
process.
The
city
selected
central
square
as
its
vendor
central
square,
is
offering
an
advantageous
fixed
flat
annual
fee
for
its
new
cad
rms
system,
provide
the
city
which
agrees
to
a
five-year
contract.
A
City
council
already
has
approved
funding
for
the
first
two
years
in
the
contract
of
previous
cip
and
free
cash
appropriations,
given
likely
that
it
will
take
up
to
nine
to
12
months
for
setup
data,
migration
and
training
on
the
new
system.
Emd
and
it
are
recommending
a
five-year
commitment,
see
the
memorandum
person
went
to
mgl
chapter
30
b,
section
12
any
contract.
The
seating
three
years
must
be
approved
by
the
majority
vote
of
the
city
council.
For
the
above
reasons,
I
respectfully
request
that
the
city
council
approve
a
five-year
contract.

A
Dear
counselor
garcia,
my
name
is
myrna
concepcion
de
rodriguez.
I
am
the
local
pastor
of
nueva
united
methodist
church
located
at
195
shirtless
street,
and
we
have
the
parsonage
located
at
32
bellingham
street
in
chelsea.
I
was
appointed
to
this
congregation
by
bishop
boshwana
devahad
of
new
england,
united
methodist
conference
in
july
of
2018..
Since
then,
I
have
been
working
with
the
church
membership
and
families
that
live
in
chelsea.
A
The
building
at
195
shirtless

was
originally
known
as
mount

episcopal
methodist
church,
whose
congregation
made
up
of

settled
in

as
far
back
as
1800
as
the
community
changed.
The
congregation
of

welcomed
the
new

who
gave

to

methodist
church.
As
of
1981,
latino
pastor
has
been
appointed
to
the
mount
bellingham
episcopal
methodist
church
and
the
mission
church,
which
was
later
named.
Nueva
vida
part
of
whoever
leda's
mission
has
been
to
serve
the
community.
A
We
have
approximately
150
members
95
who
live
in
chelsea.
Our
children
go
to
public
schools,
many
of
our
families
living
in
walking
distance.
Those
who
do
not
live
in
chelsea
live
in
revere,
everetty's
boston
because
the
rents
are
too
high
in
chelsea,
everyone
works
one
or
two
jobs
to
pay
the
rent.
Many
of
our
students
work
part-time
to
help
ends
make
ends
meet
during
the
pandemic.
The
church
remained
open
to
assist
families
and
others
in
the
community.
A
With
food,
clothing
and
rental
assistance,
we
are
church
with
a
vision
for
the
future
of
our
children
and
families.
During
the
epidemic
we
started
music.
Lessons
now
have
a
group
of
10
youth
playing
instruments
and
singing.
We
have
started
talking
to
phoenix
academy,
and
now
we
can
mutually
help
each
other,
since
we
both
served
the
same
community.
The
parsonage
on
32
bellingham
street
has
always
held
pastors
and
their
families
has
served
as
an
office
and
meetinghouse
and
as
well
as
hell's
others
in
need
of
temporary
place
when
finding
housing
in
chelsea.
A
Right
now,
the
parsonage
house,
I'm
worship,
minister
leader
and
his
family.
In
2019,
we
received
a
tax
title
settlement
from
the
city
of
chelsea.
We
went
to
city
hall,
but
could
not
get
anyone
to
tell
us
what
it
was.
Our
workshop
leader
spoke
to
someone
who
told
him
that
32
bellingham
street
was
part
of
the
church
property
and
should
not
be
taxed.
A
On
saturday
february,
29
2020
received
a
letter
from
attorneys
at
the
ambrosia
brown
llp.
Regarding
the
tax
lien
that
was
placed
on
the
property
at
32
bellingham
street.
We
immediately
called
the
office
and
started
speaking
to
anthony
roxanne
stokes.
On
this
matter,
we
were
told
that
we
owed
taxes
on
the
property
and
quickly
stated
impossible.
A
Churches
did
not
pay
taxes.
This
must
be
a
mistake.
We
have
gone
back
and
forth
on
this
matter.
For
over
a
year,
we
were
promised
documents
that
the
attorneys
had
on
the
case,
so
we
could
negotiate
the
matter.
Those
documents
were
not
for
coming
on
march
28
2021.
I
sent
the
letter
to
anthony
attorney
stokes
in
regards
to
the
situation.
A
We
also
offered
to
pay
the
original
5
900
on
behalf
of
mount
bellingham
methodist
church,
which
was
no
longer
in
existence.
It
was
on
until
september
2020
2021
that
I
was
able
to
speak
to
attorney
peter
brown,
who
was
handling
the
case
with
his
assistant,
tiffany
mozark.
They
have
been
in
communication
with
me
and
have
worked,
have
given
me
documents,
but
these
not
seem
to
be
of
any
worth
since
they
don't
evolve
to
pro,
don't
solve
the
problem.
We've
been
requesting
to
find
any
records
of
information
from
2005
17
years
ago.
A
This
is
unfair
and
although
we
have
tried
looking
for
records
non-exist
at
the
church,
we
have
no
records
or
bank
accounts
from
mount
bellingham
episcopal,
church
udair.
We
would
have
to
ask
the
new
england
conference
to
do
research
if
they
have
any
records.
This
will
continue
the
case
for
several
more
years.
What
I
was
able
to
download
from
the
court
available
documents
is
a
copy
of
the
lien
placed
on
the
property
address
at
32
bellingham
street.
A
I
also
requested
an
accounting
from
city
hall
regarding
the
address
of
the
mount
bellingham
episcopal,
nuevo
vida,
beginning
january
1,
2005,
the
account
balance
at
the
end
of
10
14
21
is
zero
balance.
New
bill
is
251.21
cents
through
the
18th
of
november
21..
I
also
requested
an
account
in
the
beginning
at
1,
1
2004,
but
have
not
received
a
response.
If
we
obligated
to
pay
this
tax
with
interest,
we
are
setting
a
precedent
and
paying
a
tax
that
is
unconstitutional.
A
This
can
also
open
the
doors
for
other
churches
to
be
taxed
and
in
future
the
city
has
converted
the
bills
into
attacks,
so
they
could
put
a
lien
on
the
property
which
earns
interest
as
a
tax.
This
is
unfair
and
again
unconstitutional,
where
vita
is
a
501c3
organization
as
pastor
of
the
vida
congregation
and
advocate
for
the
properties
that
are
occupied
and
managed.
A
On
behalf
of
the
congress
and
the
community,
I
am
seeking
relief
from
the
city
for
the
mount
bellingham
episcopal
church
and
we
have
a
vita
from
this
interest
that
has
accumulated
over
the
years
and
all
legal
fees.
Retaining
to
this
case,
I
pray
that
you
will
be
able
to
assist
in
on
this
matter.
May
god
give
you
wisdom
and
do
the
benefit
of
our
communities?
Peace
may
not
come
to
rodriguez
council
garcia.
Thank
you.

Agreement
with

councilor
garcia.
D
D
This
project
does
not
only
address
the
need
for
affordable
rental
units,
but
it
also
addressed
the
need
for
more
home
ownership
opportunities.
So
there
are
ten
units
here
that
offer
home
ownership
opportunities
to
families.
Here
in
chelsea,
we
have
a
mix
of
studios,
two
bedroom,
three
three-bedroom
apartments.
That
really
speaks
to
the
needs
of
our
families
here.
D
That
could
be
really
really
expensive.
So
this
is
a
triple
impact
opportunity
for
us
to
support
local
entrepreneurs,
many
of
them
at
the
base
level,
and
it's
also
an
opportunity
to
support
affordable
homes,
a
mix
of
affordable
homes,
not
only
rental
units,
but
also
home
ownership
opportunities.
So
I
am
fully
in
support
and
I
want
to
thank
the
city
manager
and
his
administration,
who
works
behind
the
scenes
to
really
make
this
happen.
So
yeah
I'll
be
rewarding
a
support.
C
A
L
Okay,
I'm
gonna
tell
you
what
this
is
okay,
this
is
it's
one
one-third
of
those
buildings
they're
affordable
for
who,
when
you
build,
affordable
housing.
Let
me
tell
you
what
it
is:
okay,
it's
simple:
they
get
a
tax
break
and
you
don't
the
rate
that
they
charge
and
then
it's
affordable
for
who
doesn't
guarantee
that
chelsea
people
are
there.
What
it
does
is
it
increases
your
taxes
and
theirs,
don't
because
they
get
a
tax
rate
because
it's
affordable
housing.
L
What
I'm
I
want
to
see
is
affordable
housing
units
where
people
own,
where
you
own
it
don't
make
affordable
housing
for
rentals,
make
affordable
housing
for
people
to
own
and
there's
something
else
that
you
should
know
the
more
affordable
housing.
You
have,
the
more
the
corporations
make
money
on
you.
L
Their
corporations
set
the
rate,
so
don't
be
fooled
by
affordable
housing.
Affordable
housing
is
a
gaff
because
it
does
not
help
you
the
average
individual,
because
the
rent
is
still
the
same.
You
want
to
make
affordable
housing
make
affordable
housing
for
people
to
buy
where
they
can
live
here,
not
the
corporations
that
own
it.
So
if
you
want
to
do
that,
these
people
are
going
to
make
29
units
they're
going
to
make
10
affordable
housing
units.
They
gives
them
a
tax
exempt.
L
L
So
when
you
want
to
do
it,
I'm
in
favor
of
affordable
housing
for
people
to
own
norfolk
corporations
to
come
in
and
stop
building
all
these
big
buildings
where
these
people
can't
live
in
it.
And
then,
when
you're
talking
about
affordable
housing.
I
talk
about
one
thing:
affordable
for
the
people
of
chelsea.
L
So
it
doesn't
how
many
chelsea
people
actually
live
in
these
buildings
that
they
tell
you
how
many
chelsea
people
can
actually
afford
market
rate
value?
Who
can
afford
a
three
bedroom
for
three
thousand
dollars?
An
average
family
can
so
who
are
you
making
it
affordable?
For?
Meanwhile,
you
or
me
that
owns
a
three-family
home,
my
taxes
keep
going
but
bears
don't
they
get
that's
most
cities
have
ten
percent
of
affordable
housing
because
they
understand
the
affordable
housing
unit
it
does.
It
does
not
help
everybody.
What
it
does
is.
It
gets
rid
of
people
faster
corporations.
L
L
That's
the
whole
thing
I'm
trying
to
make
the
people
understand
affordable
for
who
you
vote,
for
something
for
this,
it's
not
affordable.
For
you,
the
people,
it's
not
a
good
deal.
The
city
dies
when
you
have
too
much
affordable
unit.
That's
why
the
tax
burden
is
shifted
to
the
regular
people
that
own
it.
They
should
pay
the
same
amount
of
taxes,
anybody
else,
but
they
never
will
because
that's
the
way
it
was
set
up.
You
got.
M
Through
the
chair,
I
would
like
to
ask
the
city
manager
how
much
we
pay
for
this
building
and
how
much
are
we
selling
for?
How
much
are
we
losing
every
year
in
the
taxes
said
that
our
buildings,
our
homes,
are
the
prices
are
going
up?
How
come
this
is
going
down?
You
can
answer
that
question.
Please.
G
So
we
acquired
this
property
for
affordable
housing
purposes
back
a
few
years
ago
for
1.3
million,
and
we
are
selling
it
for
1.1
million.
But
our
goal,
when
we
put
this
on
the
market
when
we
put
this
out
for
proposals,
was
not
to
maximize
our
sale
price.
That
was
not
the
goal.
The
goal
was
to
get
a
good,
affordable,
housing
development.
We
were
not
particularly
concerned
about
the
sale
price.
G
In
fact,
this
sale
price
is
much
higher
than
certainly
I
anticipated
again
we
could
have.
If
our
goal
was
to
maximize
our
the
money
we
got,
we
would
have
had
a
different
rfp,
but
the
rfp
was
structured
to
basically
entice,
affordable
home
ownership
and
we
knew
that
would
likely
drive
down
the
purchase
price.
So
it
was.
It
was
not
our
goal
to
maximize
the
purchase
price,
but
it
turns
out
that
we're
getting
about
200
000
less
than
what
we
acquired
it
for.
A
A
Ami
prices
of
the
greater
boston
at
fifth
starting
at
50
percent
and
below
that,
and
the
10
units
that
will
be
affordable
will
be
sold
at
80
percent
ami.
That
being
case,
is
there
anyone
else
that
likes
to
make
a
statement?
If
not
at
this
time,
we'll
continue
with
the
rule
same
no
objection,
we
will
now
do
a
row.
Call
the
collect
recall
of
rome.
A
L
This
year
they
seem
to
have
been.
You
want
our
city
to
be
more
fair
and
open
and
get
more
vote
more
people
to
go
out
and
vote
so
make
the
places
to
vote
closer
to
where
the
districts
are
don't
make
them
all
in
one
place,
put
them
the
way
they
used
to
be.
They
used
to
be
in
the
districts
where
they
were
at.
They
used
to
be
more
places
where
you
can
go
and
vote.
That
is
a
good
thing.
L
You
go
back
to
where
you
you
know
the
way
it
used
to
be
to
have
more
and
you
have
a
bigger
turnout,
people.
You
have
to
turn
out
and
vote
because
that
matters
it
matters
to
you,
because,
whatever
we
do
here,
it
affects
you
and
if
you
find
any
of
us,
they
stink
that
you
don't
like
you
get
rid
of
us.
That's
what
you're
supposed
to
do,
but
if
you
don't
go
out
and
vote,
what
good
are
you?
Your
vote
doesn't
matter.
L
Your
vote
should
matter
so
by
making
it
closer
to
where
you're
at
and
maybe
produce
more
people
going
to
vote,
and
it's
a
good
thing
instead
of
making
it
one
centralized
area
make
it
in
different
sections
like
it
used
to
be
30
years
ago,
and
you
will
maybe
get
a
bigger
turnout
and
people
will
go
out
and
vote
more
because
our
city
needs
to
vote
more.
You
need
to
go
out
and
vote.
This
is
a
great
thing.
This
is
the
only
power
you
have
is
your
vote.
L
If
you
don't
use
it,
you
don't
have
it
so
use
it
and
use
it
for
the
good
of
yourselves,
because
your
elected
officials
are
supposed
to
work
for
you.
That's
why
they're
up
here?
That's
why
I'm
up
here.
I
have
no
motives
or
anything.
The
only
thing
I
am
is
one
of
use.
I
am
an
average
person
like
you
that
wanted
to
make
a
change,
and
that's
the
only
thing
and
any
of
yous
can
do
the
same
thing.
L
A
L
When
I
was
outside
this
year
and
when
we
vote
people
could
not
go
to
the
bathroom,
they
had
to
go
to
dunkin
donuts,
they
had
to
go
all
over
the
place.
So
if
that's
the
case,
why
not
put
the
portable
powder
party,
where
people
can
go
and
go
to
the
bathroom
if
they're
not
going
to
allow
you
to
go
inside
to
go
to
the
bathroom
where
you're
supposed
to
go
run
to
dunkin
donuts?
That's
the
only
place
close
to
you,
so
it's
a
good
thing
to
have
those
portable
things
there.
L
D
Thank
you.
So,
very
briefly,
I
want
to
take
an
opportunity.
I
know
this
will
fall
more
on
the
hands
of
our
city
manager,
but,
as
you
may
have
heard,
during
the
public
speaking
portion
and
the
letter
that
was
so
eloquently
written
by
by
pastor
mirna,
who
is
here
today
with
her
congregation,
I
would
like
to
add
something
that
was
amended.
D
D
I
ask
you
and
your
administration
to
really
take
a
moment
to
look
at
this
congregation
who
took
the
time
to
come
out
today
to
really
beg,
as
you
may
have
heard,
and
as
you
heard
on
this
letter,
they
did
not
come
here
once
they
came
here
on
multiple
locations
to
try
to
get
this
resolved
and
it
got
them
nowhere.
So
they're
here
today
to
really
bring
this
case
up
and
when
pastor
mirna
called
me.
D
D
L
L
You
can't
say
it's
tax,
it's
it's!
It's
a
water
lien
which
goes
on
to
your
tax,
but
it
can't
be
taxes
because
you
said
we
are
tax-exempt,
you
don't
pay
taxes,
so
it
has
to
be
water.
It
you
know,
but
here
it
says,
because
your
water
gets
attached
to
your
tax
bill,
that's
what
they
did
now.
So
if
you
don't
pay
your
water,
it
goes
to
your
tax.
So
what
it
is
that
you
always
tax
is-
and
I
hope
the
city
works,
something
out
with
you,
where
you
can
pay
so
much.
L
You
know
what
I
mean
you
don't
have
to,
because
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
your
tax.
I
want
the
people
to
understand.
It's,
not
taxes,
it's
water!
That's
what
it
is.
You
know
you
can't
say
it's
your
taxes
when
it
actually
isn't
it's
your
water,
because
you
said
the
pastor
herself
said
we
are
tax
exempt.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
wasn't
actually
going
to
say
anything
but
let
to
say
something
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
confusion
here.
You
know
I
would
like
to
see
the
city
manager
give
us
a
response
before
we
kind
of
commit
and
feel
that
we
have
to
do
anything
necessary.
It's
the
first
time
this
counselor
here
I
speak
for
myself
to
hear
about
this
and
some
of
this
language
states
that
this
goes
back
a
few
years.
E
E
You
know
with
the
responsibility
who
would
who
was
saying
what
and
why
were
they
saying
that
and
why
wasn't
the
city
more
involved
in
it,
I'd
like
to
see
exactly
what's
our
responsibility
here.
If
we
have
a
responsibility
here,
I
know
we
will
do
the
right
thing.
If
we
don't
have
a
responsibility,
then
that's
another
issue
that
we
have
to
address
some
other.
How
but
the
responsibility
falls
on
the
responsibility.
E
Because
again,
we
all
have
been
through
difficult
times
everyone,
and
if
we
do
these
things,
what
we're
asking
the
city
manager
to
do
without
having
a
history
of
how
they
occurred,
then
I
can
assure
you
that
we're
opening
up
a
can
of
worms-
and
there
will
be
other
organizations
and
entities
up
here
acting
for
the
same
relief.
So
I
think
we
should
do
our
homework.
We
should
have
a
conversation
and
find
out
what
we're
liable
and
what
we're.
What's
our
responsibility
here.
Thank
you.
A
G
So
the
pastor
came
to
see
me
a
few
weeks
ago.
I
did
speak
with
her
told
her.
I
would
look
into
this
conferred
with
the
city
solicitor
and
our
outside
counsel
that
handles
that
tax
lien.
This
is
an
old
water
bill
from
2004-2005
that
was
never
paid.
Has
nothing
to
do
with
this
pastor.
It's
a
long
predecessor
and
so
I'll
resolve
it.
I've
talked
to
our
outside
counsel.
We'll
get.
This
resolved
probably
will
resolve
itself
with
payment
of
the
underlying
basic
water
bill,
which
the
pastor
has
agreed
that
they
would
pay.
A
Thank
you.
So,
as
the
city
manager
clarified,
this
is
not
a
tax
bill.
This
is
a
water
bill,
outstanding
old
water
bill
that
will
be
handled,
I'm
sure,
appropriately
by
the
city
manager
and
the
staff
moving
on.
We
will
now
go
on
to
item
two
two
three
four,
which
is
an
order
introduced
by
council
of
engineer
regarding
that,
pursuant
to
the
mgl
30b
section
12,
the
city
council
approves
a
five-year
contract
sent
with
central
square
for
a
new
computer,
aided
dispatch
and

systems.

We
have
an
order
introduced
by
councillor

regarding

A
Next
item
on
the

is
an

introduced
by
councillor
rodriguez,
garcia,
videl,
riccupro
and

Regarding
that

District's
2022
b
vote
be
taking
on
november
5th
that
vote
taken
on
november
15
2021
be
rescinded
at
this
time.
I'm
going
to
rule
that
this
order
is
out
of
order.
A
The
councilor
garcia
challenges
the
chair.
The
clerk
will
call
a
roll
on
the
challenge.
A
a
yes
vote
will
uphold
the
challenge,
the
order
by
the
other,
rather
the
ruling
by
the
chair,
that
this
order
is
out
of
order,
and
a
no
vote
will
mean
that
the
the
city
council
objects
to
the
ruling
by
the
adult.
A
A
E
A
A
My
understanding
and
my
and
the
consultation
with
reading
the
rules
and
regulations
of
our
city
council
is
that
one.
This
was
not
there's
only
two
methods.
A
vote
can
be
rescinded,
or
rather
renewed.
One
is
by
reconsideration.
In
order
to
do
that,
a
city
councilor
must
file
a
reconsideration
vote
within
24
hours.
That
was
not
done.
Second,
there
is
the
any
item
that
was
voted
upon
by
the
city.
A
Council
cannot
be
readdressed
within
90
days,
so
if
they
want,
the
petitioners
can
file
this
in
90
days,
and
I
also
looked
at
our
rules
and
regulations
and
looked
at
the
the
number
of
motions
that
can
be
accepted
by
a
president
or
chair
on
the
motions
and
the
motions
are
under
five
motions
to
be
received
by
the
president
are
to
adjourn
to
lay
on
the
table,
move
for
a
previous
question
to
postpone,
to
a
day
certain,
to
commit
to
amend,
to
postpone
indefinitely
and
limit
the
time
of
debate.
This
is
not.
A
This
is
under
the
emotion
to
rescind
is
not
covered.
So
therefore,
I
rule
it
out
of
order
again.
There's
no
debate
on
this
there's
the
explanation
you
can
vote
yes
to
to
support
the
chair's
decision
that
it's
out
of
order
or
know
and
go
with
the
the
counselors
who
put
forth
the
petition
clerk
call
ro.
K
G
M
B
C
Well,
the
question
to
this
it
was:
it
was
about
the
order
that
two
orders
ago,
the
one
that
that
that
didn't
make
it
was
the
trail
was
challenged.
I
wanted
to
ask
the
city
solicitor,
because
I
remember
a
couple
of
times
that
there
were
orders
that
went
in
to
rescind
votes
that
the
city
council
had
taken,
even
though
we
didn't
go
through
the
proper
motion
of
going
and
filing
a
motion
to
reconsider.
A
Well,
she
can
give
a
legal
opinion
again
she's
rightfully
so
it
can
give
a
legal
opinion
in
that
sense,
but
I
think
the
votes
stand.
So
if
you
want
to
ask
her
a
legal
opinion
of
again
and
she
can
send
that
communication
to
you,
but
her
standing
does
not
her
legal
opinion
does
not
have,
I
would
say,
standing
with
the
ruling
from
the
chair
based
on
our
rules
and
regulations.
