City of Chelsea, via WebEx, Chelsea Cable TV
A

E
G
I
would
like
to
begin
by
saying
I
would
like
to
apologize
to
anybody
that
felt
offended
by
my
statement.
It
wasn't
my
intent
that
was
taken
all
out
of
context
that
that's
that
wasn't
my
intent
to
offend
or
hurt
anybody.
That's
not
my
that.
Wasn't
my
intention
and
it's
still
not
my
intention,
so
I
like
to
apologize,
but
I
also
I
strongly
believe
that
I
don't
agree
with
what
columbus
did.
I
don't
agree
with
it
at
all.
I
believe
whatever
he
did.
G
It
was
a
wrong
thing,
but
I
also
believe
that
he
did
a
good
thing.
He
brought
the
latino
culture
to
america
and
as
far
as
that
now
I
would
like
to
know
you're
going
to
hear
tonight
something
about
me
and
I
would
like
to
tell
you
what
kind
of
a
human
being.
I
am,
what
kind
of
a
person
I
am
and
where
I
come
from
so
people,
don't
misunderstand
you're,
going
to
hear
that
I'm
a
white
supremacist,
I'm
not
a
white
supremacist
for
one.
G
I
am
married
to
an
afro-latino
woman
and
I
have
13
afro
mixed
children
and
I
have
39
grandchildren
of
guatemalan
honduran
puerto
rican.
Salvadorian
colombian
ecuadorians
I
have
from
cuba,
I
have
all
of
them.
My
family
is
the
most
diverse
family
you
ever
gonna
see.
It
is
very
wrong
to
slender
me
to
say
that
I
am
a
white
supremacist
for
one.
I
am
a
latin
man
for
two
you're.
Judging
me
for
what
I
look
like,
no
for
what
I
am
or
because
I
had
a
statement.
My
personal
belief
is
my
own.
G
My
opinion
is
my
own.
We
all
have
an
opinion
in
this
world.
If
you
can't
have
an
opinion,
then
we
might
as
well
don't
exist.
People
that
slander
me
and
says
that
I'm
a
white
supremacist
are
the
ones
that
are
more
prejudiced,
they're
being
thought,
I'm
sorry,
maybe
that's
not
the
intent
and
I
didn't
intend
to
say
anything
back
to
any
person
at
all.
What
I
said
is
what
I
believed
and
if
I
speak
loud,
I'm
sorry
because
I'm
deaf
so
I
speak
loud.
G
My
intention
was
not
to
hurt
or
attack
anybody
or
to
do
anything
was
just
my
own
opinion
and
my
own
opinion
is
my
own
opinion.
It
doesn't
deter
that
I
shouldn't
be
called
and
be
slandered
and
be
called
a
racist,
a
white
supremacist,
a
latin
man
is
not
a
white
supremacist.
I've
never
been
a
white
supremacist.
G
I
know
what
it
is
to
be
prejudiced
against.
I
know
what
it
is.
I'm
sorry,
if
I
speak
loud,
but
I'm
passionate
about
you
slandering
me,
it's
no
need
to
slam
to
someone
because
of
my
opinion.
That
was
just
an
opinion
we're
all
entitled
to
it.
That's
all
it
is
it's
not
my
belief.
I
shouldn't
be
labeled
as
a
white
supremacist,
because
I'm
not
I've
never
been.
I
know
what
racism
is.
I
know
what
it
is
because
I've
seen
it
I've
seen
it
through
my
eyes.
I've
seen
it
through
my
children's
eyes.
G
I
see
what
they
can
do
so
someone
that
has
seen
it
and
knows
what
racism
is
knows
firsthand
exactly
what
it
is
and
discrimination
would
never
never
in
this
whole
world
never
say
and
become
one.
I
always
taught
my
children
not
to
be
racist,
because
that's
the
worst
thing
to
do.
That's
what
I
thought
my
children
not
to
be
racist
and
whoever
is
teaching
these
young
men
and
women
to
be
racist
to,
because
that's
the
wrong
thing
to
teach.
G
Here's
the
bottom
line,
I've.
Never
I
don't
like
white
supremacists,
I'm
not
want
to
be
associated
with
them
and
I
have
nothing
to
do
with
them.
I'm
sorry.
If
I
offended
anybody
on
what
I
said,
but
that
is
the
whole
thing,
I'm
not
that
I
don't
want
to
be
slandered.
I
don't
want
my
latino
children
to
be
slander.
I
don't
want
my
afro-latino
wife
to
be
slandered
because
I'm
not
a
white
supremacist.
G
I
shouldn't
be
labeled
as
one
because
of
an
opinion.
We
all
have
opinions,
that's
it
and
I'm
not.
So
I
shouldn't
be
labeled
a
white
supremacist.
If
you
don't
know
what
I
am
and
you
don't
know
what
my
family
is.
Don't
accuse
someone
of
being
something
that
they're,
not
I'm
not,
and
if
I
talk
loud
I
repeat
myself
again,
because
I'm
deaf,
I
have
never
been
one.
G
B
Whereas
during
the
covet
19
pandemic,
the
women
of
chelsea
have
continued
to
exemplify
their
commitment
to
humanitarian,
social,
environmental
and
economic
causes
by
being
at
the
forefront
of
volunteering,
organizing
and
working
within
the
community
at
home.
Whereas
american
women
were
particularly
important
in
the
establishment
of
early
charitable
philanthropic
and
cultural
institutions
in
our
nation,
whereas
american
women
of
every
race,
class
and
ethnic
background
served
as
early
leaders
in
the
forefront
of
every
major
progressive
social
change
movement.
B
Whereas
american
women
have
been
leaders
not
only
in
securing
their
own
rights
of
suffrage
and
equal
opportunity,
but
also
in
the
abolitionist
movement,
the
emancipation
movement,
the
industrial
labor
movement,
the
civil
rights
movement
and
other
movements,
especially
the
peace
movement,
which
created
a
more
fear
and
just
society.
For
all,
whereas,
despite
these,
contributions
of
all
of
american
women
in
history
has
been
consistently
overlooked
and
undervalued
in
the
literature,
teaching
and
study
of
american
history
now,
therefore
be
resolved
that
the
chelsea
city
council,
that
march
is
designated
as
women's
history
month.
A
E
E
Celebrating
the
social,
economic,
cultural
and
political
achievements
of
women,
the
day
also
makes
a
call
to
ask
them.
For
example,
women's
equality
international
day
has
heard
the
wealth
over
since
then,
with
the
first
international
women's
day,
catherine,
in
1900,
supported
by
over
a
million
people.
Today
is
all
groups
collectively
everywhere.
E
International
women's
day
was
not
country,
group
or
organization.
Specific,
and
one
more
thing
is
correct.
Announcement
on
shared
ownership
for
driving
venture
parenting
is
what
makes
this
national
women's
day
and
household
gloria
stein.
World
renowned,
feminist,
journalist
and
activist
once
explained.
C
C
Ladies
here
who,
who
are
also
contributing
in
their
own
ways,
advocating
for
what
they
believe
is
right.
You
all
are
so
inspirational
all
of
you.
I
applaud
you
for
your
contributions
and
I
look
forward
to
continue
working
alongside
many
of
you
to
bring
change
in
our
community,
so
I
hope
that
every
single
one
of
you
gets
recognized
beyond
just
on
this
day,
but
for
the
remainder
of
time.
So,
thank
you
all.
Thank
you
to
all
the
department
heads
women
who
who
make
the
city
hall
function
every
single
day
and
to
all
the
workers.
C
D
To
all
the
women
for
this
day,
as
we
celebrate
international
women's
day
on
march
8th
also
the
month
of
march,
we
also
celebrate
the
accomplishments
and
the
great
deed
of
work
and
the
sacrifice
that
the
women
have
made
mothers
and
sisters
and
daughters-
and
you
know
we
think
about
our
vice
president-
vice
president
harris,
we
think
about
our
congresswoman
ayanna
presley.
We
think
about
our
local
leaders
here
as
council
has
mentioned,
but
we
also
have
to
remember
those
women
before
them.
D
The
susan
b
anthony
the
shirley
chisholm
of
new
york,
the
first
woman
who
was
elected
black
african-american
woman,
who
was
elected
to
congress
almost
52
years
ago
to
this
day,
so
those
women
and
more
women
have
continued
to
fight
and
bring
the
good
fight,
as
my
colleagues
said,
and
we
need
to
continue
to
embrace
them
and
support
them,
and
maybe,
and
hopefully,
within
the
next
few
years,
we'll
have
a
female
president
to
continue
the
good
work.
That's
been
done.
I
want
to
thank
the
maker
for
this
resolution.
D
G
I'd
like
to
say
thank
you
to
all
the
mothers
and
all
the
daughters
and
all
the
women.
I
have
eight
wonderful
daughters
and
each
one
of
them
is
the
joy
of
my
life.
The
best
part
of
man
is
woman,
so
without
a
woman
there
would
be
no
man,
and
it
is
a
great
thing.
So
I
would
like
to
recognize
them
and
say
thank
you
to
all
the
women
of
the
world
for
making
this
a
better
place
for
all
of
us.
F
Yes,
thank
you
to
counsel
sabbath
for
putting
this
order
and
counsel
judy,
garcia,
also
and
the
rest
of
scientists
order.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
start
saying
I
want
to
congratulate
my
mother,
my
wife,
my
sister
and
my
daughter
and
our
colleagues,
silicon
women
and
our
leaders,
women,
leaders
and
chelsea.
F
A
I
F
First
of
all,
I
would
like
to
say
thank
you,
mr
ambrosino,
for
the
incredible
incredible
leader
you
over
the
past
few
years,
but
you
show
you
show
us
your
dedication
commitment
strength
as
a
leader
this
past
year.
It
is
an
honor
honor
to
work
alongside
you
appreciate
the
passion
you
bring
to
this
work
and
you
take
everything
we
at
the
city,
council
or
the
community
present
to
you
seriously,
the
city
of
chelsea
and
our
residents
are
so
lucky
to
have
you
to
serve
us
as
a
city
manager.
G
I
expressed
the
same
feeling
my
fellow
counselor
said,
and
I
would
like
to
have
that.
Mr
ambrosino
is
a
very
humble
man.
Anybody
can
get
a
hold
of
him
anytime.
They
want
to
he's
a
great
and
capable
city
manager
and
what
is
lacking
in
the
world.
There's
more
people
like
him
that
are
intelligent
enough,
but
yet
don't
think
they're
better
than
anybody
else.
They're.
Just
people
like
the
rest
of
us
and
he
has
a
position
to
make
people's
lives
better
and
he
does
he's
very
he's
a
great
human
being.
C
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
will
be
brief,
but
I
also
want
to
add
to
the
sentiment
and
for
the
record.
I
would
also
like
to
sign
on
to
this
resolution.
I
think
it's
well
deserved
one
of
the
best
decisions
that
the
committee
made
was
to
hire
you.
I
think
that
there
has
been
no
other
leader
who
has
led
with
such
empathy
and
compassion.
You
have
an
incredible
work
ethic,
I
must
say
for
the
people
who
are
watching
at
home
and
some
of
the
people
who
are
here.
C
You
may
not
know
this,
but
I
have
been
at
city
hall
at
6
00
a.m,
and
I
have
seen
tom
bracino
be
here
at
6
a.m:
you're
the
first
person
to
get
here
you're
one
of
the
last
people
to
leave
this
office,
and
I
you
have
shown
incredible
incredible
dedication
to
this
community.
Incredible
work
ethic,
but,
above
all,
incredible
empathy.
I
love
your
open
door
policy.
C
I
love
that
you're
willing
always
to
meet
with
anyone,
regardless
of
who
they
are
either
a
resident
either
an
employee,
a
city
council,
member
you're,
willing
always
to
answer
questions
any
doubt,
and
you
always
do
it
with
an
open
heart.
So
we
thank
you
for
your
service,
and
this
is
well-deserved.
So
I'd
like
to
commend
my
colleagues
for
for
your
thoughtful
idea
of
presenting
this
resolution.
You
deserve
that
and
much
more,
mr
ambrosino.
So
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
E
Thank
you.
I
would
like
to
sign
on
to
the
resolution
and
commend
my
colleagues
as
well
for
it
counselors,
lopez
and
cupro,
and
just
to
be
very
brief
to
reflect
on
what
council
magoskia
said.
I
remember
when,
before
I
was
a
city
councilor
and
approaching
you,
mr
amazon
city
manager,
and
how
this
happens
rewards
me,
and
I
I'm
I
was
a
resident
and
it
didn't
matter
when
I
became
a
city
councilor.
D
D
I
can
only
imagine
what
you
see
when
you
go
home.
You
have
a
lot
of
department
heads
that
you
have
to
deal
with.
You
surround
yourself
with
good
personnel
from
you
know
our
legal
department
all
the
way
down
to
fidel
to
other
members
of
the
staff.
Here,
it's
a
credit
to
you
that
folks
want
to
work
with.
You
folks
want
to
listen
to
you.
D
I
also
can
state
that
many
times
I've
seen
you
waiting
on
the
train
catching
at
7
45,
going
into
boston
and
you're
flying
up
trying
to
beat
the
tracks
the
train
before
the
tracks
come
across.
But
really,
honestly,
you
know
during
the
pandemic
you
kind
of
hustled
us
all
together.
You
made
time
for
me.
I
know
that
for
sure
I'm
sure
you
made
time
for
other
colleagues
but
anytime.
D
I
had
a
question
regarding
what
was
going
on
and
what
I
was
hearing,
whether
it
been
from
a
constituent
or
whether
it
been
for
a
business
person,
is
trying
to
get
in
to
see
you.
There
was
never
a
problem,
it
was
straightforward,
straight
communication,
direct
contact,
and
you
know
you
just
build
on
the
other
two
city
managers
we
had
prior
to
guys
senegate,
who
I
served
with
for
about
a
few
months
and
j
ash
different
personalities,
different
styles.
D
D
J
Robinson,
actually,
I
I
chaired
that
committee
when
we
were
looking
for
a
new
city
manager
and
obviously
we
made
the
right
choice
in
selecting
time.
Thomas
had
a
very
open
door
policy
and
anytime
that
you
need
a
tom,
no
matter
what
time
of
day
or
night,
you
always
answer
the
call.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
being
here
for
us
and
being
here
for
the
residents
of
our
community.
I
want
to
thank
you.
K
A
Public
healing,
before
we
move
on
to
public
hearing,
I
just
want
to
state
that
the
city
manager
was
presented
with
a
resolution
from
state
senator
sal
di
dominico.
Unfortunately,
he
could
not
make
it
he
did
try
to
link
on,
but
there
were
technical
difficulties,
but
he
wanted
to
send
his
regards
to
the
presentation
tonight.
A
At
this
time
we
were
going
to
move
on
to
the
next
item
on
our
agenda,
which
is
public
hearing,
but
it
is
public
hearing
on
the
proposed
zoning
amendments,
municipal
harbor
plan,
marijuana
establishment
and
the
route
16
change
to
business
highway
solely
the
zoning
amendments
tonight.
At
this
time,
we
will
move
on
to
public
speaking
later
on,
but
the
public
hearing
portion
is
only
on
to
discuss
the
zoning
amendment.
So
if
anyone
here
would
like
to
make
a
comment,
you
have
four
minutes
to
discuss
the
proposed
zoning
amendments.
A
L
L
We
need
to
be
thinking
more
proactively.
We
need
to
be
thinking
about
families
raising
children.
Here
we
need
to
think
about
the
long
game,
not
the
immediacy
of
a
supposed
housing
crisis
that
the
region
should
also
be
facing.
The
housing
crisis
that
is
facing
chelsea
residents
today
is
that
our
members
of
our
community
are
being
evicted
and
displaced
because
they
can't
afford
to
live
here.
L
Tomorrow
evening
there
is
a
proposal
on
the
cba's
agenda
to
take
a
single
family
home
and
replace
it
with
eight
condo
units.
What
we
are
doing
by
if,
if
the
city
council
approves
this,
what
we
are
doing
is
basically
saying
to
all
of
the
developers
and
to
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
increase
the
density,
reduce
the
lot
sizes
eliminate
side
yards.
L
I
want
you
again
to
think
about,
as
you
all
recognize
the
women
out
there
think
about
all
of
those
mothers
who
have
been
home
for
the
last
year
with
their
children.
Thankfully,
my
children
have
a
backyard
to
go
and
run
around
in.
There
are
many
that
don't
have
that.
I
can't
possibly
imagine
being
locked
in
an
apartment
with
no
parks
to
go
to
when
the
parks
were
shut,
down,
no
backyard
and
no
side
yard
for
your
kids
to
play.
In
what
message
are
we
sending?
L
We
are
the
city
with
the
highest
rate
of
covet
infections
in
the
entire
state
for
months
on
end
we're
the
community
that
has
some
of
the
least
amount
of
open
space.
We're
shouldering
all
of
the
region's
industrial
burden
we
have
80
percent
of
our
community
is,
is
covered
by
impervious
surfacing,
asphalt
and
concrete.
What
we
need
to
do
is
think
about
the
long
game,
not
the
immediacy.
We
need
to
think
about
a
community
process
around
zoning.
We
can't
be
doing
these
piecemeal
approaches.
L
What
we
need
to
think
about
as
a
city
council
and
as
a
city
is
coming
together.
What
do
we
want?
Chelsea?
To
look
like
coming
out
of
covid19,
what
do
we
want
our
city
zoning
to
look
like
if
you
approve
the
zoning
tonight,
it's
essentially
a
nod
in
the
direction
of
not
caring
what
the
community
wants,
because
this
really
hasn't
been
an
inclusive
process
just
to
come
here
tonight.
If
I
couldn't
come
here,
I
couldn't
make
my
comments
on
zoom,
and
yet
I
was
almost
turned
away
downstairs
because
I
wasn't
on
the
list.
L
So
how
can
we
say
that
we're
accepting
a
full,
a
fully
participatory
process
by
not
really
allowing
and
encouraging
people
to
participate?
Green
roots
is
suing
the
federal
government
and
and
has
filed
several
civil
rights
complaints
with
the
state
for
excluding
the
participation
of
community
members
from
a
process
to
stop
a
substation
in
east
boston.
L
L
L
I
M
Hello,
my
name
is
kyle
yumemba,
I'm
from
38
addison
street
chelsea
massachusetts,
and
I
am
here
in
support
of
the
rezoning
of
the
marijuana
establishment
as
well
as
ms
bargiani
said
right.
We're
here
to
I'm
always.
My
agenda
is
always
equal
opportunity.
Everyone
deserves
equal
access
and
an
equal
chance
right
now.
M
M
M
It's
not
fair.
The
current
marijuana
retail
laws
are
not
fair.
There
is
not
an
equal
opportunity,
no
one
has
a
fair
chance
and
there
is
not
enough
money.
Why?
Because
we
are
restricted
to
the
zoning
that
restricts
us
to
paying
thirty
thousand
dollars
per
month.
On
average,
I
average
five
locations
that
were
offered
on
red
fin
and
on
loop
on
zillow
and
got
thirty
thousand
dollars
per
month.
M
When
we
put
these
laws
in
place
or
when
the
cannabis
commission
put
this
in
place,
it
was
about
creating
an
equal
opportunity.
Why?
Because,
as
a
black
male,
my
entire
life
has
been
stigmatized
due
to
the
effects
of
the
war
on
drugs
and
who
do
the
war
on
drugs
affect
mostly
disproportionately
minorities,
blacks
and
latinx.
M
M
I
believe
that
there
are
fair
share
of
licenses
for
for
minority
owners,
but
currently
that's
not
the
case
not
for
minority
local
owners.
We
don't
have
an
equal
opportunity.
We
don't
have
a
fair
chance.
This
is
you
guys's
chance
to
make
that
right
to
level
the
playing
field
and
to
make
an
even
chance
for
everyone
in
the
community,
look
forward
to
seeing
your
decisions
and
seeing
where
you
guys
stand
with
this.
Thank.
N
You
good
evening
my
name
is
caroline
ellenberg.
I
live
at
107
shirtless
street
here
in
chelsea.
I
also
work
at
green
roots
as
the
anti-displacement
organizer,
and
I
am
here
along
with
rosie,
to
urge
you
to
vote
down
the
zoning
density
amendments
rosie
described
having
a
backyard.
I
live
on
shirtless
street
at
central.
We
do
not
have
a
backyard.
N
I
spent
my
children
and
I
spent
the
entire
pandemic
when
we
couldn't
get
out
to
a
park
on
a
fire
escape
that
is
narrower
and
maybe
a
little
wider
than
this
table
in
front
of
me,
and
that
is
true
of
all
the
children
and
families.
On
my
adjacent
to
our
area,
I
feel
very
strongly
that
protecting
what
limited
open
space
we
have
in
the
yards
and
neighborhood
of
our
very
densely
packed
neighborhood,
our
neighborhood
is
where
took
some
of
the
hardest
hit
of
covid.
N
N
N
So
for
that
reason
I
think
this
isn't
a
lost
opportunity
to
pair
those
two,
without
that
I
do
not
think
it
makes
sense
to
move
forward.
I
will
echo
what
rosie
said.
I
think
that
a
larger
process
that
involves
the
community
for
the
last
year,
you
know,
we've
all
been
sidetracked
by
survival
issues.
We've
been
separated
physically,
but
we
have
also
shown
that
as
a
city,
we
know
how
to
come
together
how
residents
and
the
city
and
organizations
can
really
come
together
and
affect
change
this
year
is
a
year.
N
N
It
also
has
the
potential
of
breaking
them
down,
so
zoning,
maybe
people
say
that's
not
so
interesting,
but
the
power
of
land
use
decisions
is,
is
huge,
so
the
idea
to
stop
pause
think
about
creating
a
process
that
brings
the
people
of
chelsea
together
for
a
comprehensive
review.
Thinking
big
picture,
what
matters
to
the
people
in
chelsea
and
how
do
we
want
to
use
our
land?
We
live
in
a
small
city.
There
are
many
of
us
here:
land
is
precious
land
is
power,
housing
is
power,
home
is
power.
How
do
we
want
to
use
those?
N
N
N
O
Hi,
my
name
is
jade
umemba
and
I
live
at
87
parker
street
in
chelsea
mass
and
I'm
here
to
support
the
marijuana
rezoning
and
I'm
going
to
give
a
few
reasons
why
so
in
2018,
over
600
thousand
people
in
the
u.s
were
charged
for
possessing
marijuana,
not
for
running
some
massive
weed
drug
cartel
for
simply
having
it
on
them,
and
despite
making
up
only
31
percent
of
the
population,
blacks
and
latinos
accounted
for.
Nearly
half
of
all
wheat
arrests
between
80
to
90
percent
of
the
industry
is
run
by
white
owners.
O
P
You
good
evening
so
could
I
make
a
few
other
statements
before,
because
you
said
it
was
solely
for
okay.
So
first
I
want
to
just
acknowledge
the
city
manager
and
the
well-deserved
recognition,
and
I
too
agree
the
utmost
and
we
celebrated
you
and
all
of
you
last
week
at
a
black
history
month,
grand
finale
and
it
was
a
community
celebration.
So
congratulations
and
I
ditto
everything
that
was
said
on
your
behalf.
A
P
P
P
You
all
were
on
deck,
with
the
approval
to
revit,
revitalize
our
downtown
area
with
the
goal
to
become
more
welcoming
and
prosperous,
where
everyone
everyone
feels
welcomed.
This
revital
revitalization
project
called
chelsea
prospers
includes,
includes
using
community
policing
model
special
events,
pop-up
food
and
activities,
as
well
as
chelsea
lunch
marketplace.
P
P
P
A
P
Okay
in
terms
of
putting
back
in
the
community
where
it
is
very
well
deserved,
I
leave
you
with
the
words
from
our
leader
of
the
downtown
area.
Revitalization
project,
mimi
grainy,
the
reviled
revitalization
of
the
downtown
area,
is
modeled
on
the
approach
for
community
based
on
economic
revitalization,
which
is
a
proven
success
in
business
districts
across
the
country.
P
P
K
Mr
president,
tom
members,
city
manager,
I'm
I'm
here
to
advocate
in
favor
of
all
three
of
the
specific
zoning
changes
that
are
before
you
tonight
for
public
hearing
the
marijuana,
retail
and
other
marijuana
related
changes
that
are
before
you.
I
think
those
serve
the
best
interests
of
our
residents.
K
The
change
in
the
parcels
near
riviera
beach,
parkway
in
the
prattville
area,
are
also
in
the
city's
best
interest,
and
I
strongly
support
the
changes
associated
with
the
municipal
harbor
plan.
This,
the
municipal
harbor
plan
zoning
that
has
been
thoroughly
vetted
publicly,
not
just
in
our
lengthy
public
hearing
before
the
planning
board,
but
in
two
lengthy
council
subcommittee
meetings
and
in
public
forums,
including
public
forums
with
stakeholders
at
green
roots.
K
I
do
want
to
also
talk
for
a
moment
or
two
about
the
proposals
that
are
also
before
you
that
involve
density.
Those
were
presented
by
me
and
while
I
have
tremendous
respect
for
the
speakers
before
me
from
green
roots,
I
just
need
to
offer
a
different
perspective
on
this.
So
there's
no
question.
No
one
disagrees.
We
have
a
serious
housing
crisis
in
this
community
and
there
are
many
tools
to
try
to
help
ameliorate
that
crisis,
but
one
two
that
can't
be
done,
but
you
can't
solve
the
problem
without
is
the
tool
of
creating
more
housing.
K
You
cannot
solve
a
housing
crisis
without
building
more
housing
units.
That
is
just
a
simple
truth,
and
this
proposed
package
of
density
changes
that
is
before
you
attempts
to
do
to
allow
the
city
to
do
just
that
to
build
more
housing,
not
just
in
the
region,
but
right
here
in
chelsea,
but
I
I
want
to
point
out
that
I'm
not
proposing
some
comprehensive
restatement
of
our
zoning
ordinances.
K
These
density
proposals,
in
particular
the
ones
that
involve
the
r1
and
the
r2
district,
are
modest,
modest
proposals.
They
are
not
radical
in
any
way
shape
or
form.
In
fact,
I
think
some,
a
legitimate
critic
could
say,
given
the
serious
nature
of
the
housing
crisis
here
in
chelsea,
they
are
way
too
modest.
K
Nonetheless,
they
are
relatively
minor
changes.
So
let
me
point
them
out
to
you:
in
the
r1
district,
the
district
that
encompasses
prattfill
and
soldiers
home.
My
proposal
is
narrowly
focused
on
a
very
small
number
of
parcels
that
exist
between
6
000
square
feet
and
7
500
square
feet.
Now
it
might
it's
hard
to
imagine
what
that
means
in
square
footage
size.
All
I
can
tell
you
is
the
overwhelming
overwhelming
majority
of
houses
that
currently
exist
in
that
r1
district
are
built
on
lots
that
are
less
less
than
6
000
square
feet.
K
K
You
can
build
a
good
family
home
on
six
thousand
square
feet
and
have
plenty
plenty
of
open
space.
I
lived
when
I
was
first
married.
We've
bought
a
two
family
in
revere
on
a
lot
that
was
four
thousand
square
feet,
a
two
family
home
and
we
had
plenty
of
backyard
space,
because
even
that
lot
was
big,
but
a
six
thousand
square
foot
lot
gives
adequate
opportunity
for
open
space.
K
If
you
have
a
5,
000
square
foot
lot,
you
can
build
by
right
one
unit,
one
under
my
radical
proposal.
You
can
build
two
two
units:
that's
what
I'm
proposing.
Instead
of
building
one
newton
on
a
5000
square,
foot
watt,
I'm
advocating
at
least
allow
people
to
build
two
units
and
on
a
7500
square
foot
lot
in
the
r2
district,
lots
that
are
extremely
large,
larger
than
most
lots
in
the
city.
Right
now,
currently,
by
right
in
the
r2
district
in
a
7
500
square
foot
watt,
you
can
build
two
units
under
my
proposal.
K
K
A
I
Q
Here
in
favor
of
the
zoning
amendments
for
the
marijuana
establishments,
I
myself
am
a
social
equity
as
well
as
economic
empowerment,
certification,
holder
from
the
cannabis
commission.
Chelsea
was
my
first
choice,
but
because
of
the
zoning
I
just
I
had
to
go,
I'm
right
now,
opening
in
cambridge
and
they
were
far
more
friendly.
The
500
foot
buffer
in
chelsea
was
just
too
much.
I
mean
cambridge
is
a
larger
city
and
the
buffer
is
only
300
feet.
Q
If
I
was,
I
felt,
deterred
almost
to
open
at
chelsea,
and
this
was
where
I
am
from
here
and
I'd
love
to.
I
have
the
means
to
create
jobs
for
other
chelsea
residents,
and
I
just
felt
as
though
I
couldn't
even
find
a
place
anywhere.
I
stand
in
chelsea
is
500
feet
from
a
school
or
a
park,
and
I
think
opening
up
the
downtown
area
will
do
so
much
for
the
city
of
chelsea
itself.
That's
all.
I
want
to
say
thank.
D
R
How
you
doing
my
name
is
andre
joseph
and
I
live
at
150
hertz
street.
I
made
her
supposed
to
support
the
zoning
amendment
for
marijuana
establishments,
so
80
of
the
people
in
federal
prisons
and
60
of
the
people
in
state
prisons
arrested
on
drug
offenses
are
black
or
latinx,
and
now
that
marijuana
has
been
legalized
we're
seeing
the
ownership
skill
in
the
other
direction.
So
I
think
we
just
need
to
fix
that.
Thank
you.
S
S
I
remember
back
in
the
day
they
said
they
would
say
upward,
hope
downward
dope
right.
So
I'm
here
to
support
it,
because
I
know
so
many
so
so
many
black
and
native
americans
are
most
likely
to
be
killed
to
be
killed
by
the
law
enforcement,
and
I-
and
I
also
know
that
they
have
been
due
to
just
a
small
little
marijuana
package
and
I
believe
the
city
of
chelsea
has
seen
his
drug
infested.

Hi,
my
name
is
maria
montgomery.
I
live
at
150
hertz
street
and
I
am
here
to
support
the
rezoning
of
the
marijuana
establishment.
Today,
latinx
and
black
communities
are
still
subject
to
wildly
disproportionate
marijuana
enforcement
practices,
despite
the
fact
that
these
groups
are
no
more
than
like,
no
more
likely
than
white
people
to
use
or
sell
marijuana.
T
U
U

Hi,
my
name
is
olivo
and
I
live
at
210
washington
avenue.
I'm
also
here
to
support
the
zoning
amendment
for
marijuana
establishments
since
2010
racial
disparities
have
actually
worsened
in
31
states
and
there
are
extreme
racial
disparities
with
marijuana.
Arrests
on
blacks
versus
whites,
and
I
feel
like
this
amendment
would
change
that,
because
then
more
black
people
would
get
the
opportunity
to
be
in
a
more
densely
populated
area
in
chelsea
and
have
better
access
to
people
and
even
people
who
don't
drive
and
can't
get
to
further
places
here
in
chelsea.
Thank.
A
W
W
A
Seeing
no
further
speakers,
I
will
now
close
the
public
hearing
on
the
zoning
amendments
we'll
now
move
on
to
the
next
item
on
our
agenda,
which
is
public
speaking,
I
invite
anyone
who
would
like
to
speak
to
the
city
council
and
make
a
public
statement
to
walk
up
to
the
microphone.
Please
state
your
name
and
your
address.
You
will
be
limited
to
four.

X
X
Deyoung,
I'm
from
165
went
to
summit
street
here
in
chelsea,
I'm
the
chair
of
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
board.
You
might
have
noticed
that
you
received
a
communication
from
our
board
regarding
the
transfer
of
the
property
at
41-43
orange
street
to
allow
us
to
develop
more
affordable
housing.
X
I
believe
the
letter
in
the
request
speaks
for
itself
by
and
large
many
of
the
speakers
who
came
before
me
spoke
about
the
need
for
more
affordable
housing.
This
is
likely
one
of
the
most
direct
quickest
ways
of
developing.
Some
of
it
is
to
allow
us
to
develop
a
new
structure
on
that
property,
and
we
are
excited
to
do
so
if
we
have
the
opportunity.
X
So
we
are
actively
talking
about
how
to
reach
out
to
neighbors
how
to
reach
out
to
community
as
a
whole,
but
I
also
want
to
take
a
few
minutes
tonight
to
extend
that
outreach
to
the
council,
because
we
recognize
you
may
have
questions
about
what
we
plan.
You
know
how
we
plan
to
use
the
the
property.
What
we
plan
to
do
you
might
have
you
might
be
hearing
from
your
constituents.
You
might
have
thoughts
of
your
own.
We
want
to
hear
those
upfront.
We
are
very
interested
in
hearing
from
everybody.
X
We
recognize
that
this
is
our
first
developmental
property
should
it
be
transferred
to
us
and
we
want
it
to
go
well.
We
want
the
community
to
have
faith
in
us.
We
want
you
to
have
faith
in
us.
We
want
to
build
something
that
serves
the
community
for
a
long
time.
The
best
way
that
we
can
do
that
is
in
partnership
with
you.
So
I'm
going
to
email
leave
my
my
contact
information.
X
I
encourage
you
to
reach
out.
If
you
do
have
questions,
if
you
do
have
thoughts,
of
course,
anybody
at
city
hall
can
probably
help
you
alex
train.
Will
I'm
sure
is
happy
to
talk
with
you
more
anybody
on
the
board
is
happy
to
talk
with
you.
Finally,
I
recognize
that
sometimes
these
matters
are
referred
to
committee
and,
if
that's
the
case,
I
also
would
encourage
the
committee
to
be
in
touch
and
would
hope
to
have
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
committee
about
that
as
well.
So
that's
it.
O
Hi,
my
name
is
jadu
memba
and
I
live
at
87
parker
street
in
chelsea,
and
I
am
up
here
in
regards
to
the
christopher
columbus
statue.
So
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
think
that
if
you're
opposed
to
removing
the
statue
because
of
its
rich
history
and
all
the
great
things
that
he
did,
you
should
take
some
time
to
read
up
on
him
and
learn
about
all
the
atrocities
that
he
committed.
O
O
I
just
think
that
if
someone
presents
an
issue
to
you,
instead
of
blocking
out
the
idea
to
take
it
as
an
opportunity
to
start
a
discussion
and
find
out
why
it's
problematic,
they
taught
us
that
christopher
columbus
was
a
good
guy
in
school,
but
they
didn't
teach
us
that
he
tortured
and
murdered
thousands
of
native
peoples
and
that
he
started
the
native
american
slave
trade,
which
morphed
into
the
african
slave
trade.
Thank.

Hello,
my
name
is
brian
ray
garcia
and
I
live
on
461
crescent
avenue
and
I
am
a
chelsea
youth
and
a
student
of
chelsea
high
school
as
well
as
well
as
the
secretary
at
the
chelsea
youth
commission,
I'm
here
to
speak
on
my
own
accord
and
share
my
experience
at
last
city
council
meeting
in
the
city
of
chelsea.
We
must
push
forward
the
experiences
of
those
underrepresented,
especially
when
in
a
position
of
privilege,
such
as
being
white
and
a
city
councilor
yet
last
meeting
that
was
not
the
case
for
councillors,
recupero
and
taylor.
Y
Those
who
are
chosen
to
represent
us
can
not
be
those
that
are
unappreciative
of
the
beauty
in
latinidad,
an
ever-changing
experience
of
learning
and
transformation.
Those
who
do
not
understand
this
complexity
or
even
make
an
attempt
to
understand
this
are
not
fit
to
lead.
Our
city
councillors
for
cooper
and
taylor
have
had
more
than
enough
time
to
adjust
their
eyes
to
the
beauty
that
zlatinidad.
Y
Y
Y
They
have
made
it
clear
what
they
believe
in
and
have
made
it
obvious
that
they
do
not
have
the
best
interest
of
the
many
people
of
color
living
within
our
small
city,
not
only
through
the
actions
of
last
meetings,
but
through
the
many
accounts
of
chelsea
residents
who
have
all
met
discriminatory
rhetoric
from
both
councillors,
especially
councillor
cupero,
to
blatantly
bash
on
latino,
youth
and
all
latinos
in
general.
Amongst
everyone
present
in
the
meeting,
both
in
person
and
virtual,
should
not
be
tolerated.
Y
Y
Y
This
behavior
is
new,
then
why
did
it
take
two
youth
of
our
of
your
city
to
be
attacked
for
there
to
be
changed?
Our
youth,
nor
any
citizen
should
not
have
to
experience
this.
So
as
glad
as
I
am
we're
having
this
discussion,
why
wasn't
holding
your
fellow
members
accountable
on
a
large
scale
happening
before?

Z
Hello,
my
name
is
michelangelo
recupero,
I'm
from
147
essex
street,
I'm
33
years
old.
This
is
a
city
that
I
grew
up
in,
so
I'm
gonna
pull
out
a
couple
of
different
points.
From
my
point
of
view,
this
is
my
opinion
on
things.
First
and
foremost,
it
broke
my
heart
hearing
that
my
dad
is
a
white
supremacist.
Z
That's
pretty
amusing
to
me,
so
my
dad
is
sicilian
descent.
He
migrated
to
america
through
a
boat
with
20
of
his
relatives,
called
the
olympia
during
imma,
bring
up
some
history
during
world
war
ii,
which
is
1939
to
1945,
and
I'm
a
veteran.
So
I
say
some
of
this
history
because
I
had
to
learn-
and
I
liked
on
it.
Z
I
don't
know
how
that
fits
for
white
supremacy,
italian-americans
faced
prejudice
for
decades.
Italians
were
the
biggest
group
of
immigrants
to
migrate
to
america
through
ellis
island,
which
my
dad
came
came
to
for
much
of
the
late
19th
and
early
20th
century.
Between
1876
and
1930
15,
5
million
italian
americans
moved
to
the
us,
but
not
without
backlash.
During
these
times,
they
popularized
the
notion
that
italians
were
a
separate
race
from
anglo-americans,
so
I'm
not
sure
how
my
dad
fits
into
being
a
white
supremacist,
especially
seeing
as
I'm
sicilian
and
puerto
rican.
Z
My
mother
is
afro-latina
herself
all
right
and
that
this
is
another
point.
I
want
to
pick
a
makeup
that
happens
within
massachusetts,
the
power
of
accusation,
and
I
bring
up
a
time
in
america,
our
america
massachusetts,
the
power
of
accusation
in
massachusetts,
the
salem
witch
trial
1692-1693
more
than
200
accused
30
found
guilty
19
who
were
executed
by
hanging
14
women
and
five
men.
Z
They
were
all
accused
right,
while
the
accusers
gained
enough
momentous
power
to
actually
govern
the
lynching
people
who
accused
made
this
possible
the
fun
fact,
though,
throughout
the
turmoil
and
the
pain
that
these
accusers,
orchestrated
the
city
of
salem,
still
uses
the
name
which,
as
their
team
mascots.
I
know
this
has
nothing
to
do
with
chelsea,
but
I'm
just
showing
you
the
power
of
accusations
if
it
could
kill
someone.
Defamation
of
character
is
a
real
thing
in
america.
Z
If
you
can
sit
behind
the
screen
or
stand
at
home
and
send
a
letter
and
just
point
out
things
without
knowing
someone's
history,
you
can
ruin
a
reputation
and
that's
why
I
stand
here
and
I
try
to
defend
my
dad
in
that
case
and
there's
still
teams
like
cleveland
indians.
They
agree
to
change
the
name.
They
think
it's
insensitive.
Z
So
there's
good
and
bad
with
cancelled
culture,
but
sometimes
when
you
get
someone
to
gain
that
momentum
and
power
to
point
the
finger
at
someone,
there's
also
backlash
for
that
that
they
they
themselves
never
get
to
fail,
only
the
p
only
the
person
they
accuse
feel
that
they
just
sit
back
and
disappear
into
history,
while
the
person
gets
accused
has
to
sit
up
and
defend
himself.
The
same
way
the
witches
tried
to
defend
themselves,
and
not
all
of
them
got
away
with
it.
Z
19,
where
lynch
had
said
defamation
of
character
is
something
that
this
country
is
using
more
so
often
than
than
ever.
I'm
33
years
old-
and
I
lived
here-
there's
many
people
on
this
council
that
had
their
character,
questioned
and
judged
throughout
this
throughout
their
stay
on
the
council.
My
thing
is:
if
you
guys
stand
together-
and
you
know
my
dad,
then
this
shouldn't
gain
any
momentum.
Z
A
Z
H
H
You
know
and,
and
I
sat
down
and
I
tried
to
write,
write
something
and-
and
just
I
couldn't
it's
hard
to
find
the
words
to
try
to
try
to
express
express
the
pain
that
I
feel
and
the
disappointment
that
I
feel
that
that
my
father
has
to
has
to
go
through
this,
because
he's
he's
never
taught
and
taught
that
to
me
or
anyone
in
my
family.
You
know
so
I
mean
they're,
council
members
and
members
of
the
community.
I
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
be
heard
today.
H
Regarding
my
father,
counselor
giovanni
recupero
senior.
My
name
is
giovanni
recoupero
junior,
the
son
of
constant
recuperal.
I
am
not
here
today
to
defend
an
opinion
on
the
statue.
That's
not
why
I'm
I'm
here,
I'm
here
to
do
I'm
here
to
defend
the
character
of
my
father,
for
which
I
know
to
be
true.
H
H
H
My
father
was
always
welcoming
to
no
matter
who
I
bring
to
the
door
whether
they
was
asian,
whether
they
was
african-american,
whether
they
was
white.
One
thing
was
evident
and
it
was
always
clear.
We
were
all
traded,
we
were
all
treated,
they
were
all
treated
equally.
They
always
had
a
plate
at
my
table
to
eat
and
they
always
had
a
seat
at
my
couch
to
sit
down.
My
father
never
turned
down
anybody,
and
I
have
many
friends.
I've
been
here
for
40
years.
H
So
I
I
grew
up
dealing
with
race
and
it's
a
touchy
situation
for
me
because
racist
racism
it's
hard
to
deal
with,
and
sometimes
you
have
to
kind
of
go
through
it
to
different
differentiate.
What
is
what
is
really
racism
and
it's
and
it's
it's
a
sensitive
subject,
because
it's
something
I've
been
dealing
with
my
whole
life.
H
You
know,
since
a
young
kid
in
the
city,
whether
it
be
law
enforcement,
whether
it
be
other
people
in
other
cities,
but
I've
dealt
with
it
many
times
and
for
my
father
and
for
most
people
to
say
that
my
father
is
racist.
He
lived
through
it
through
me
and
he
seen
what
it
did
to
you
and
the
thing
about
racism
is
yeah.
H
It
hurts
you
emotionally,
but
the
heart,
heals
the
heart,
always
heals,
because
the
heart
is
kind
and
it's
forgiving,
so
your
heart
will
heal,
but
when
it
messes
with
you
mentally
that's
another
thing,
racism
is
a
thing,
is
so
powerful
that
you
can
wish
to
be
something
that
other
something
other
than
what
you
are.
You
can
hate
the
color
that
you
are.
H
A
H
H
H
Doesn't
matter
where
my
father
is,
my
father
is
first
he's
a
human
being
he's
a
human
being,
first
he's
a
human
being.
First,
just
like
anybody
else,
everybody's
entitled
to
a
opinion.
Some
opinions
get
misconstrued
along
the
way
stories
just
like
stories
depending
who
tells
the
stories
it
gets
changed.

The
record
my
address
is
20
washington
street
in
brighton
mass.
Thank
you.
It's
really
a
shame
that
I
had
to
come
here
on
a
monday
night
to
hold
adults
accountable,
but
here
we
go
when
I
saw
that
recording
of
this
council
meeting
on
february
23rd,
I
was
both
grateful
to
have
such
and
thoughtful
and
powerful
voices
fighting
against
racism
and
white
supremacy,
but
appalled
and
disgusted
by
those
who
spewed
hatred
and
ignorance
through
their
rhetoric
supporting
a
man
who
committed
genocide.
AA
Webster
dictionary
defines
genocide,
as
quote
the
deliberate
and
systematic
destruction
of
a
racial,
political
or
cultural
group,
and
many
universities
across
the
world,
including
academic
scholars,
have
very
similar
definitions
so
to
hear
todd,
taylor,
a
city
council
member
in
a
city
where
so
many
indigenous
and
latino
people
reside,
say
that
genocide
means
something
completely
different
and
then
fail
to
elaborate
fail
to
elaborate
on
what
genocide
was
saying
quote
I
don't
want
to
wax
on
about.
This
is
beyond
me.
AA
AA
Todd
taylor
also
mentioned
how
children
were
being
fed
quote
radical
things
in
schools
simply
because
youth
came
up
here
and
spoke
the
truth
about
columbus.
Just
because
people
tell
the
blunt,
honest
truth
about
history
doesn't
make
them
radical.
It
makes
them
truth-tellers
put
simply.
I
don't
ever
want
anyone
fixing
their
mouths
to
say
such
baseless,
oppressive,
racist
things
period
now
to
giovanni.
AA
Where
do
I
even
start
from
saying
things
like
erasing
your
history,
to
get
rid
of
your
last
name
is
abhorrent
and
I'm
honestly
surprised
to
even
still
see
you
here
before
me.
Your
remarks
were
absolutely
disgusting
and
insensitive
to
latinate
and
visuals
period.
I
don't
care
who
your
children
are.
I
don't
care
whose
kids
are
in
the
room.
Anyone
who
has
connections
with
the
city
councilors,
I'm
speaking
about,
has
bias
period.
AA
Contextualization
does
not
excuse
immorality,
it's
sounding
very
much
like
well,
he
has
a
black
wife
or
he
has
black
kids,
so
he
can't
be
racist,
cancel
culture.
This
cancel
culture
that
white
people
can't
speak
about
cancer
culture
and
how
it
works.
Just
because
these
people
raise
you
a
certain
way
doesn't
mean
they
can't
be
racist.
What's
going
on
what
is
going
on,
there's
always
going
to
be
privilege
right
fragility
and
racial
bias
as
a
white
man
in
this
country.
AA
That
can
be
passed
down
to
your
children
of
color
and
manifest
into
self-hate
hello,
I'm
the
only
one
that's
been
reading
around
here.
I
can't
I
can
just
continue
to
debunk
all
night.
The
crazy
arguments
that
I
heard
not
only
tonight
30
seconds
but
at
the
other
city
council.
Hearing
attacking
youth
is
unacceptable,
kudos
to
my
friend
brandon
for
speaking
truth
to
power
and
calling
out
harassment
because
it
just
couldn't
have
been
me.

Thank
you.
My
name
is
charlie
and
I'm
a
current
senior
at
an
exam
school
back
in
boston
at
23
washington
street.
Since
childhood,
I
have
been
told
that
christopher
columbus
is
who
founded
my
ancestors
land,
and
he
is
the
reason
why
my
people
today
are
even
a
thing.
Since
childhood,
I
was
told
to
believe
that
an
italian
man
with
the
brain,
the
size
of
a
peanut
should
be
given
the
respect
he
deserves,
because
he
raped
slaughtered
and
drowned.
My
ancestors
out
because
of
christopher
columbus
tribes
and
a
whole
race
of
people
were
wiped
out.
AB
AB
Being
hispanic
has
a
complex,
devastating
history
for
many
caribbeans
who
are
stripped
of
their
true
culture,
including
me
as
an
italian.
Your
comments
about
christopher
colon
is
entirely
invalid.
Entirely
invalid.
Your
bias
is
rooted
in
racism
and
as
if
your
white
hero
christopher,
should
be
recognized
for
silencing
my
people,
be
careful
of
your
words
next
time
and
I
pass
that
advice
to
your
sons
as
well.
It
is
not
my
duty
as
a
17
year
old
woman
to
explain
to
two
grown
men.
AB
One
who
thinks
is
a
trained
historian
about
the
history
of
christopher
columbus
and
whether
it's
debatable
that
christopher
was
a
good
man
for
discovering
something
that
already
exists
beyond
his
understanding.
I
will
simply
say
that
not
once
have
I
ever
seen
a
hitler
statue
in
america
nor
in
any
other
country.
I
have
never
seen
a
statue
commemorating
this
man
for
slaughtering
millions
of
jews.
Christopher
colon
does
not
deserve
to
be
commemorated
through
a
statue
for
his
crimes.
AB
Well,
he
deserves
us
to
be
destroyed,
and
it
is
time
we
tell
each
other
the
truth
about
christopher
and
the
type
of
trauma
he
has
left.
Never
should
you
open
your
mouth
again,
recuperal
to
tell
brandon
richard
or
any
other
student
or
any
other
person
of
that
matter
to
embrace
a
part
of
history
that
includes
racism,
rape,
slaughter
and
the
genocide
of
our
people.
AB
Never,
shall
you
open
your
mouth
to
spew
such
nonsense
as
a
phenotypic
white
italian
in
today's
society,
I'm
going
to
need
you
to
apologize
to
both
of
their
families,
including
the
city
councilor
da
mali,
along
with
others
in
the
entire
chelsea
community.
Please
check
your
morals
and
come
correct
the
next
time.
You
want
to
speak
on
any
matters
that
apparently
matter
to
you.
No
one
cares
if
a
large
part
of
chelsea
community
wasn't
aware
of
the
statue
existing.
It's
the
fact
that
it's
existing
period.
AB
AB
You
are
not
understanding
that
if
we
kept
the
statue
of
christopher
standing,
it
would
have
given
the
message
of
such
acceptance
to
racism
and
white
supremacy.
It
would
have
illustrated
the
ignorance
that
many
chelsea
community
members
live
under,
and
it
only
highlights
your
very
own
ignorance
as
a
white
male.
We
tell
the
story
of
hitler
without
a
statue.
We
condemn
that
man
without
a
statue.
Why
can't
we
do
the
same
with
christopher
columbus
and
his
slaughter
of
indigenous
people?
AB
Excuse
me,
we
are
not
changing
history,
we
are
simply
learning
it
with
truth
and
ensuring
that
we
are
not
glorifying
such
a
disgusting
man.
You
say
that
you
didn't
necessarily
care,
but
you
truly
cared
so
deeply
that
you
felt
the
need
to
harass
the
two
students
and
telling
them
to
change
their
last
names.
You
felt
that
it
was
appropriate
to
tell
students
who
have
possibly
experienced
an
ancestral
history
of
genocide
and
the
erasure
of
their
culture
to
change
their
names.
AB
AB
I
don't
even
know
what
our
last
name
sound
like
what
it
spelled
like
what
it
looks
like.
I
don't
even
know
how
to
form
a
sentence
in
our
indigenous
language.
You
ought
to
be
ashamed
of
yourself.
I
want
you
to
to
reflect.
Excuse
me.
I
want
you
to
reflect
what
does
that
say
about
you
to
have
students
from
a
whole
other
city
to
address
your
blatant
disrespect?
What
does
it
mean
for
you
to
feel
so
entitled
to
speak
about
christopher
columbus
in
such
a
boisterous
way?
AB
AC
AC
Secondly,
known
with
an
italian
last
name
for
their
from
their
prejudice,
father
should
be
talking
to
insinuate.
That
being
italian,
exempts
you
from
racism
is
obtuse
and
ignorant.
This
is
really
sad.
You
reference
columbus
as
if
he
is
some
god
when
he
was
really
a
greedy
charlatan
with
the
white
savior
complex.
These
their
ancestors
did
not
deserve
what
they
received.
AC
Your
statements
at
the
last
meeting
were
unacceptable
and
warranted
resignation,
as
it
has
become
abundantly
clear
that
you
lack
empathetic,
metacognitive
skills
that
makes
you
unfit
to
do
what
is
best
for
a
city
made
up
almost
entirely
of
people
of
color.
I
cherish
the
day
your
wife,
kids
and
this
city
finally
make
the
choice
to
get
rid
of
you
and,
as
for
thanksgiving,
anyone
who
does
not
purposefully
drown
out.
The
voices
of
indigenous
people
will
know
that
the
concept
has
been
disputed
for
years.
You
need
to
get
more
educated
after
you
resign.
AC
Not
every
figure
in
history
deserves
a
statue
because
those
are
meant
to
commemorate
people
that
have
made
positive
contributions
to
society.
Keeping
it
up
would
have
sent
the
wrong
message
to
people
you
are
for
reinforcing
racism
and
perpetuating
a
system
that
is
not
nurturing
to
us
as
a
city
councilor.
It
is
your
duty
to
listen
to
your
constituents
and
do
what
they
say
is
best
for
their
mental
health.
The
way
you
address
two
tax-paying
youth
leaders
exemplifies
how
inadequate
your
boundaries
and
morals
are.
You
should
never
speak
on
anyone's
child.
AC
You
need
to
apologize
to
them
and
their
parents
directly
and
todd
also
needs
to
go.
He
was
so
worried
about
the
power
of
the
white
man's
narrative
that
he
was
trying
to
undermine
the
power
of
the
people,
the
ones
that
the
statue
actually
affect.
The
last
thing
that
people
of
color
need
is
a
white
man
telling
us
how
to
react
or
what
will
make
us
feel
better
in
regards
to
the
radical
point
of
view
that
kids
are
fed.
AC
If
your
generation
had
gotten
more
education,
maybe
you
would
have
never
fixed
your
amount
to
insult
your
constituents
and
blatantly
with
your
blatant
ignorance
with
your
brain
ignorance
and
condescending
comments.
You've
embraced
yourself,
you've
embarrassed
yourself
and
should
be
ashamed.
You
are
not
a
voice
for
good.
You
both
contribute
to
keeping
people
in
a
harmful
past
that
was
never
friendly
or
nurturing
for
my
people,
taxpayers
and
people
in
general
do
not
deserve
people
like
you
in
power.
I
owed
my
time.
H
P
Is
hi?
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
say
that
it's
disappointing
tonight
to
hear
all
of
this,
because
here
we
are
in
chelsea
massachusetts,
the
majority,
it's
a
bipart
community,
so
we
here
are
having
issues
that
we
look
on
a
national
level,
that's
happening
in
the
deep
down
south
in
louisiana
and
folks
places
like
that.
This
should
not
be
a
conversation
here
and
now.
So
I
do
just
want
to
say
that
slave
owners
had
black
babies,
but
they
were
still
white
supremacy,
so
know
that.
P
Not
that
I'm
not
that
I
believe
mr
ricouparo
or
mr
taylor
are
white
supremacists.
I
do
not
believe
that,
but
I
do
want
it
to
leave
with
this
to
say:
watch
your
thoughts
watch
your
thoughts.
They
become
your
words
watch
your
words.
They
become
your
actions,
watch
your
actions.
They
become
a
habit,
watch
your
habits,
they
become
a
character,
watch
your
character,
it
becomes
your
destiny.
P
So
if
we
all
just
keep
that
in
mind-
and
again
I
I
reiterate-
I
don't
believe
mr
cooper
is
a
white
supremacist.
We've
had
hard
discussions
and
he
comes
the
way
he
comes,
but
sometimes,
as
I
just
said
by
loud
zoo,
just
walk
away
with
that,
and
and
remember
that,
because
what
you
say
is
very
impressionable
and
you
as
a
leader
in
our
community
as
well
as
mr
taylor,
what
you
say
is
impressionable,
especially
to
our
youth.
I
respect
all
of
you.

I
am

to
notify
you
of
my
intention
to
grant
the
resident's
waiver
to
dbw
employee
giovanna
ricoupo.
Mr
recouper
was
moving
to
east
boston
in
order
to
care
for
elderly
family
member,
mr
recouper,
who
is
a
valued
member
of
the
dpw,
whom
we
wish
to
retain
in
accordance
with
the
administrative
code,
part
4,
section
112.02.
A
A
The
first
situation
involves
invoices
for

for
emergency
board
up
services.
Unfortunately,
these
invoices
were
delivered
to
former
isd
employee,
frank
henry
now
at
the
school
department.
This
caused
substantial
delay
in
processing.
The
total
amount
is
for
three
thousand
three
hundred
fifteen
dollars.
Second
situation
involves
an
old
invoice
from
market
basket
for
food
from
last
year's
employee
health,
fair
that
invoice
was
127.73

A

Asked
that
we
accept
and
file
in
the
suspension
so
moved,
we
have
a
communication
received
from
the
city
manager
in
regards
to
the
request
for
appropriation
of
overlay
surplus
to
the

is
I'm
writing

request
that
the

to
cover
the
cost
of
an
expert
review
of
the
city's
assessment
of

units,
four
plus
residential
apartments.
A
As
you
may
recall,
at
the
time
of
setting
the
fy

tax
rate,
I
committed
to
an
outside
expert
to
review
the
city's
valuation
of
our
multi-unit
residential
apartment
buildings.
In
order
to
address
concerns
that
such
values
are
inaccurate.
The
response
to
an
rfp
for
this
purpose,
the
city
awarded
a
contract
to
jf
ryan

incorporated
the
principal

Council.
A
City
councilors,
my
name
is
alana
asher
and
I
have
been
an
american
history
teacher
to
at
chelsea
high
school
over
15
years
now.
I'd
first
like
to
thank
you
for
your
work
to
improve
the
city
of
the
chelsea.
It
is
difficult
job
and
to
the
best
times
is.
This
is
far
from
the
best
times.
I'm
especially
grateful
for
you
to
take
the
time
to
listen
to
my
students.
There
was
an
issue
that
was
very
passionate
about
and
they
were
honored
to
be
present
to
you.
A
The
two
honors,
the
two
students
that
presented
were
brandon
garcia,
who
has
been
on
the
youth
commission
since
ninth
grade
and
richard
flores
class
vice
president
and
student
athlete
during
the
council
discussion
before
the
vote.
Some
of
the
comments
did
not
address
the
proposed
itself,
but
were
personal
attacks
against
the
presenters.
I
can
only
imagine
that
they
were
designed
to
humiliate
my
students
in
silence
for
future
discourse.
A
More
disgraceful
were
the
words
of
city
city
council
cupro
at
the
after
the
presentation.
To
be
frank,
I
and
the
rest
of
chelsea
expect
more
from
this
council
city,
councilor
cupro
found
brendan
after
presentation
and
told
him.
He
should
change
his
last
name
that,
because
of
his
position,
they
advocated
for
they
no
longer
had
a
right
to
their
family
histories.
A
Burning
ass
city,
council,

city,
council,
recuperal
did
not
city
council
recuperate
continued
to
press
brain
until
he
was
scared
and
on
the
verge
of
tears,
then
city,
council,
recouper,
said
the
same
thing
to
richard.
I
believe
city
councilors
recupera's
conduct
would
have
continued,
but
their
rides
arrived
when
richard
and
brandon
spoke.
They
were
not
only
speaking
for
themselves.
Brandon
spoke
for
the
youth
commission.
Richard
spoke
for
fellow
high
school
students
the
day
after
the
presentation
during
my
advanced
placement,
u.s
history
class,
a
student
asked
if
she
could,
if
she
should
feel
humiliated.
A
This
is
one
of
the
students
richard
was
speaking
for
having
watched
the
event
on
facebook
live
and
heard
what
city
councilor
cooper
did
afterwards
she
felt
disgraced.
I
hope
the
future
discourse
in
this
council
will
be
more
civil.
I
am
extremely
proud
of
how
richard
and
brandon
conducted
themselves,
as
is
proper.
They
came
from
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
and
they
were
quiet
when
others
had
the
floor
when
it
was
their
turn
to
speak,
they
were
respectful
and
mature.
A
They
even
stayed
for
the
entire
meeting,
which
is
something
that
very
few
people
do.
I
understand
that
listening
to
the
opposing
viewpoint
can
be
upsetting,
but
if
one
launches
personal
attacks
at
a
17
year
old,
who
voiced
their
opinion,
I
question
whether
they
should
be
a
city
councilor.
I
hope
that
city
council
recuperal
wants
to
do
better
and
that
he
did
not
intend
to
stop
youth
participation
in
future
city
council
meetings,
regardless
of
his
intent.
His
actions
made
the
question
whether
it's
safe
to
express
their
opinion.
A
This
is
why
I
want
an
investigation
to
into
the
conduct
of
city
council
recuperal
for
his
actions
on
february
twenty
second,
twenty
twenty
one.
I
want
to
end
by
being
thankful
to
the
council
and
city
manager.
I
know
that
you
work
consistently
constantly
to
improve
the
city
and
have
been
fighting
for
chelsea
during
the
pandemic.
I
appreciate
your
time
and
attention.

O

Okay,
counselor
bido,
if
you
missed
it
earlier,
it
raised
the
question
of
whether
or
not
this
is
the
proper
path
for
an
investigation.
If
it's
launched
based
on
the
details
that
we
have
heard
so
far,
if
you
have
any
reservations
of
whether
or
not
this
deserves
based
on
the
facts
provided
to
the
council
at
this
time
to
warrant
an
investigation
started
by
the
city
solicitor
or
if
there
may
be
other
methods
to
address
it,
then
you
can
vote
no.
AD
A
Well,
if,
if
we
go,
if
we
want
to
send
one
of
the
other
communications
that
are
on
the
same
subject
matter,
this
one
has
already
been
accepted
and
filed.
But
if
there's
another
communication,
which
is
coming
up
with
the
same
subject
matter-
and
you
want
to
send
that
to
conference,
then
you
can
feel
free.
But
I
might.
I
must
also
inform
you
that
any
of
these
sort
of
conferences
would
have
to
be
held
in
executive
session.
A
D
A
A
We
have
a
communication
from
karen
mara
mendoza,
yes
city,
council,
our
request
for
counselor
giovanni
recoupero
and
councillor
todd
taylor
to
be
held
accountable
for
insensitive
response
they
gave
during
the
most
recent
meeting
regarding
the
removal
of
the
christopher
columbus
statue,
quotes
from
both
city
members,
indians
by
recuperate,
embrace
your
past
by
recupero.
Our
kids
are
being
fed
a
certain
point
of
view
by
taylor.
This
is
all
political
by
council.
Taylor
might
as
well
wipe
out
every
hispanic.
Last
name,
you
have
you
don't
exist
by
recupero
and
your
assessors
didn't
exist
by
recupero
you're.
C
A
I
C
C
So
it's
a
shame
that
my
colleagues
right
now
are
not
voting
in
favor
to
send
this
to
our
city
solicitor
to
potentially
open
an
investigation.
The
fact
that
you're
stopping
this
at
its
tracks
is
unfortunate
because
many
of
you
have
advocated
so
much
for
diversity,
equity,
inclusion,
you
fought
so
much.
You
walked
the
streets
to
march,
but
one
of
your
constituents.
Actually
several
of
your
constituents
have
taken
the
time
to
stand
here
and
tell
you
hey.
C
I'm
giving
you
the
opportunity
to
vote
yes
and
to
send
this
to
the
city
solicitor
and
see
if
we
should
open
an
investigation,
stand
by
what
you
speak
for
the
fact
that
only
two
of
us
voted
in
favor,
for
that
is
appalling.
Is
this
heartening
don't
claim
that
you're
supporting
the
larger
conversation
that's
going
on
in
the
united
states
of
america
and
not
take
a
stand
right
now
locally,
because
you're
afraid
that
you're
going
to
hurt
a
colleague's
feelings?
C
C
C
C
This
is
not
that
I'm
against
my
colleague
it's
because
there's
always
two
sides
to
a
story,
and
let's
have
someone
else
open
up
this
conversation
and
see
if
this
merits
an
investigation.
That's
all
I'm
asking
we're,
not
sentencing
our
colleague
we're
saying:
let's
give
these
kids
the
opportunity
to
be
heard,
not
silenced.
C
C
I
might
disagree
with
you
guys
on
the
floor,
but
I
am
not
going
to
disrespect
you
outside
of
the
hallway.
That's
not
the
sort
of
leader
I
want
to
be
so.
Here's
an
opportunity
guys
there's
plenty
of
opportunities,
I'm
going
to
keep
bringing
it
up.
There's
three
more
communications
asking
you
to
please
listen
to
your
constituents,
so
bring
it
up
again,
you
choose
where
you
stand.
Thank
you.
D
D
One
thing
is
normally
what
we
do
if
we
do
find
that
something
needs
to
go
before
the
city
manager
or
the
city
solicitor.
We
have
a
discussion
in
early
discussion,
not
that
we
judge
and
jury
that
we
get
more
information
from
both
sides.
We
invite
both
sides
to
come
in
to
speak
and
sometime
when
it's
an
executive
session.
It
could
be
one
side
come
one
hour.
The
other
side
come
the
other
hour,
but
we
get
an
idea.
If
we,
this
is
out
of
our
hands.
D
D
D
I
send
him
letters
thanking
him
for
service,
thanking
him
for
his
dedication
over
the
years.
We
all
praise
these
guys.
We
want
these
folks
to
engage.
We
appreciate
every
time
they
come
up
brandon
and
the
young
man
who
was
here
last
week.
It's
no
attack,
but
we
still
have
to
know
what
we
are
doing
before
we
rush
to
judgment,
and
I
will
be
voting
in
favor
of
this.
D
If
we
can't
get
our
city
council
members
to
find
out
what
we
need
to
do
to
make
sure
these
allegations,
which
are
very,
very
harsh
allegations
to
be
looked
into,
we've
heard
both
sides.
We've
had
family
members
and
we've
heard
the
youth
here
today,
but
we
need
to
know
what
we
legally
need
to
do
and
what
we
legally
can
do
so
I'll
be
voting
yes
to
make
sure
our
city
solicited
to
get
this.
If
we
can't
get
the
support
of
our
council
members
to
get
it
to
the
subcommittee.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
I
had
already
been
in
contact
with
a
city
solicitor.
I
had
already
been
in
contact
with
us,
our
clerk,
I
know
the
rules
so
when
someone
states
that
maybe
we
should
don't
know
the
rules
and
what
can
be
done-
that's
not
fair.
I
did
my
work
and
as
council
president,
I
know
exactly
what
the
council
can
and
cannot
do.
A
A
A
If,
according
to
the
testimony
given
by
the
the
young
man
who
came
to
speak
and
says
he
felt
harassed,
that
is
criminal
if
he
wants
to
and
he
needs
to
go
to
the
police
department
and
make
a
claim
file
a
report.
If
that's
what
happened,
it
is
not
within
the
jurisdiction
of
this
body
to
go
and
investigate.
A
A
Body,
it's
not.
No
investigation
is
going
to
happen,
the
repre,
the
actions
of
doing
so
and
engaging
in
youth.
In
that
way,
there
are
political
ramifications
for
that.
Yeah.
Okay,
you
know,
go
ahead,
that's
what
you
do
for
making
public
comments
and-
and
so
you
you
pay
the
political
price.
But
if
there's
anything
that's
criminal.
A
Well,
then
there's
a
completely
different
side
of
this,
and
that
needs
to
be
taken
by
a
police
department.
No
investigation,
no
examination
of
this
is
going
to
change,
and
if
you
knew
that
what
power
this
body
has,
then
you
would
not
be
making
this
grandiose
statement
that
we
don't
care
about.
The
participation
of
our
youth.
A
Don't
dare
do
that,
come
from
a
a
position
of
knowledge
of
what
this
body
can
and
cannot
do
and
I'm
not
about
to
go
down
a
rabbit,
hole
and
waste
this
council's
time
on
an
ending
that
I
already
know
not
because
I
don't
want
to
investigate
it,
because
I
already
know
what
the
outcome
is
going
to
be.
We
don't
have
power,
we
have
none
from
what
happened.
A
So
why
am
I
going
to
I'm
not
trying
to
fluff
the
story
up,
but
I'm
going
to
tell
the
young
man.
This
is
serious.
I'm
sorry!
This
gentleman
did
that
you
need
to
go
down
to
the
police
department
if
you
feel
threatened,
harassed,
otherwise,
the
ballot
boxes
where
you
can
punish
this
gentleman
there's.
I
can't
censor
him
not
if
the
body
votes
to
censor
him,
there's
nothing
that
he
did
on
here.
A
A
A
He
engaged
in
a
threatening
manner
to
you
outside
this
building,
go
to
chelsea
square
knock
on
the
doors
of
the
open,
the
doors
of
the
chelsea
police
department
file,
a
police
report,
that's
what
you
can
do
and
I
encourage
you
to
explore
all
those
options
I
do.
I
have
nothing
and
nothing
again.
I
condemn
what
he
did.
A
Again,
I'm
saddened
that
it
happened.
I'm
saddened
that
it
happened
from
a
colleague
of
mine
who
did
this
again.
I
apologize
that
happened,
but
let's
not
make
this
not
more
than
what
it
is.
This
is
not
a
city
council,
at
least
in
my
opinion,
of
those
who
voted.
No,
who
don't
care
about
our
youth?
Don't
do
that.
A
C
AD
I
just
I
am
one
of
the
folks
that
pushed
for
the
youth
commission
to
come
back
into
it
was
it
was.
It
was
dormant
and
I
pushed
for
it
to
come
back,
and
I
was
disappointed
to
hear
that
when
brandon
came
and
spoke
last
week
that
he
was
approached
out
into
the
hallway,
along
with
richie
flores
by
councillor
recupero,
and
that
councilor
recupera
was
urging
them
to
remove
their
last
names.
I
was
highly
disappointed
in
that.
I
was
highly
disappointed
in
hearing
todd.
AD
AD
AD
We
are
the
leaders
of
this
community
and
should
really
try
to
control
our
temper
and
lead
by
example,
because
our
young
people
are
watching
the
only
reason
I
voted
against.
This
is
because
I
know
that
there
is
no
jurisdiction
and
that
there
is
nothing
that
we
can
do.
I
can
stand
here
and
I
will
denounce
the
behavior,
the
council
of
recuperal
and
the
words
of
counselor
todd
taylor
all
day
every
day,
but
from
a
body
there
is
nothing
that
we
can
do.
AD
I
have
urged
brandon
to
write
a
letter
to
the
newspaper
to
write
a
letter
to
the
city
council
to
speak
to
the
city
solicitor.
I
have
spoken
to
teachers,
I've
spoken
to
people
outside
of
the
city,
I've
spoken
with
natalie
from
the
youth
commission.
I
have
spoken
to
everybody
about
this,
including
the
two
young
people
that
were
affected
by
the
words
at
the
last
council
meeting.
AD
I
think
we
all
need
to
really
figure
out
how
we
talk
to
each
other
a
little
bit
more
respectfully,
so
we
can
get
through
these
differences
if
there
is
something
that
the
city
solicitor
can
do
to
hold
them
accountable.
I
have
no
doubt
that
she
will
be
able
to
do
that,
but
I
have
been
a
victim
of
people
coming
and
disrespecting
me,
and
this
day
is
more
than
once
from
elected
officials
to
to
public
servants
to
residents,
and
I
am
the
last
one
to
enable
or
allow
that
behavior
to
continue.
AD
I
just
want
brandon
richie
and
all
the
young
folks
kamani.
Thank
you
for
coming
from
boston
and
you
young
people.
If
you
don't
know
who
kamani
james
is,
you
should
really
look
him
up,
he's
really
an
asset
in
the
boston
community
and
an
advocate.
These
are
beautiful,
young
people
that
are
coming
here
to
bring
wisdom
from
across
the
tobin
and
we
should
be
encouraging
them
and
not
fighting
each
other.
I
have
spoken
at
length
with
councillor
recupero
and
he
knows
that
when
he
said
take
your
last
name
and
remove
it.
AD
He
knows
that
that
was
wrong,
that
it
could
be
interpreted
the
wrong
way.
I
know
counselor
recuperal's
heart,
I
know
his
heart.
Does
he
say
horrible
things?
Sometimes
absolutely?
Yes,
one
thousand
percent,
and
I
will
tell
them
that,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
I
don't
believe
it's
up
to
me
to
sit
here
and
chastise
a
fellow
colleague
because
it
doesn't
fall
under
my
jurisdiction.
AD
D
I
just
want,
since
we
got
all
this
conversation
going
on,
if
we
could
just
actually
entertain
our
city
solicitor
and
have
her
follow
up,
because
her
name
has
come
in
on
both
sides
of
what
we
can
do
and
what
she's
know.
So
why
don't?
We
just
ask
her
to
give
us
a
comment
towards
this
situation
and
matter.
Thank
you.
C
D
AE
So
through
you,
madam
chair,
so
what
is
before
you
as
potential
civil
rights
violations
counselors,
regardless
of
what
you
can
and
can't
do
that?
That
is
what
has
been
presented
to
you
in
these
communications
this
evening.
As
the
city
solicitor,
I
am
looking
at
a
board
member
who
is
saying
that
potentially
a
city
council
has
harassed
a
board
member,
a
multi-member
board
of
the
city
of
chelsea.
So
I
really
don't
need
the
city
council
to
ask
me
to
look
into
this
potential
civil
rights
violation.
AE
AE
Neither
does
the
city
council
can
I
make
sure
that
if
this
young
man
decides
to
sue
the
city,
the
city
is
not
liable
and
that's
my
job
is
to
protect
the
city
as
an
entity,
not
just
individual
counselors
who
don't
want
to
attack
each
other,
I'm
not
trying
to
be
mean,
but
I
I
would
prefer
to
discuss
this
with
you
on
what
you
would
want
from
me,
but
as
the
city
solicitor,
I
have
the
right
to
look
into
it.
If
brandon
comes
to
me,
brendan
has
not
approached
me
as
councilman
demoli
has
stated.
AE
I
have
read
this.
I've
received
this
packet
actually
this
morning
because
I
wasn't
in
on
friday,
so
I
now
know
what
his
actual
violations
are.
So,
as
the
city
solicitor,
I
actually
have
to
uphold
the
laws
of
the
commonwealth
of
massachusetts,
especially
since
he
is
a
board
member
appointed
by
the
chelsea
city
council
appointed
by
the
city
manager
and
approved
by
the
chelsea
city
council.
AE
A
Following
our
city
solutions
statement,
am
I
to
understand
that,
because
this
subject
matter
has
been
brought
to
your
attention
already,
due
to
the
communication
sent
to
you
that
this
is
already
by
your
office
being
reviewed
as
a
potential
human
rights
violation?
The
ball
is
sort
of
already
started
and
that
that
will
be
already
started.
There's
no,
regardless
of
any
action
by
the
city
council.
You're
telling
me
there's
already
you're
already
reviewing
the
potential
of
an
investigation
by
your
office.
Is
that
correct.
AE
C
AE
AE
Didn't
realize
until
really
reading
all
of
this
who
was
whom,
until
this
evening,
because
I
was
not
there
after
the
meeting
last
time
to
know
who
was
actually
making
an
allegation
and
what
that
allegation
was
from
that
young
man.
I've
only
heard
it
from
councillor,
garcia
and
counselor
avengineda
both
mentioned
it
to
me.
So
I'm
just
trying
to
say
to
you
is
that
there
is
not
an
investigation
open,
but
yes,
I
may
open
an
investigation
with
a
without
going
to
come.
AD
D
D
You,
madam
vice
president,
again
I
don't
want
to
prolong
the
hour,
but
I
think,
as
a
city
council
that
we
still
should
have
a
conference,
so
we
can
actually
understand.
What's
going
on,
I
mean,
if
we
all
say
hey,
you
know
what
we're
not
going
to
do
anything
she's
going
to
look
into
it's
fine,
but
it's
still,
we
don't
know
anything.
We
still
sitting
here,
making
decisions
or
sitting
with
our
colleague
and
frowning
at
him
or
her.
A
B
C
B
D
Again,
by
sending
it
to
the
city
solicitor,
you
still
don't
have
the
account
of
what
happened
from
the
youth
perspective
because
we're
sending
the
document
directly
to
the
city
manager.
I
mean
city
solicitor,
sorry
miss
manager
and
asking
her
to
look
into
that
by
having
a
subcommittee
or
committee
meeting,
whether
it's
you
know
one
of
the
private
ones
or
what
you
get
both
sides
of
the
story,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
try
to
curtail
this.
D
AD
Honestly,
I'm
sorry,
but
after
hearing
the
city
solicitor,
I
just
wanted
to
make
an
amendment
that
I
think
is
identical
to
the
other
one.
So
I
think
I'll
just
be
quiet.
So
basically,
I
just
think
we
should
send
all
of
these
communications,
including
the
future
communications
wave.
The
reading
and
just
sent
it
all
to
the
city
solicitor.
For
the
initial
request
of
the
madam
vice
chair
after
hearing
shovel
speak,
I
think
it's
clear
that
we
should
send
this
over
to
her
and
let
her
make
the
decision.
C
A
B
A
A
The
issue
of
historic
statues
is
a
topic
that
has
been
receiving
national
attention
and
we
presented
a
view
that
is
relevant
to
many
members
of
the
chelsea's
diverse
community.
As
a
representative
voice
of
chelsea's
youth,
we
believe
that
it
is
important
that
all
residents
have
the
freedom
to
speak
up
respectfully,
as
we
did
on
various
issues.
Those
presenters
must
suspect
that
our
city
councilors
will
listen
respectfully
and
consider
their
statements,
arguments
and
opinions.

C

Right
now,
you're
voting
on
the
proposed
amendments
that
are
before
you
in
the
municipal
harbor
plan.
You
received
the
package
as
amended
by
the
planning
by
the
planning
board,
and
now
the
councils
are
offering
further
amendments.
They
require
a
majority
vote.
You
then,
will
vote
on
the
entire
package
as
amended,
which
would
require
a
two-thirds
vote.
C
B
C
So
the
proposed
amendment-
one
is
the
creation
of
waterfront
upland
port
district
and
it
reads
as
follows.
Whereas
the
chelsea
city
council
has
the
authority
to
adopt
ordinances,
to
protect
the
health,
safety
and
welfare
of
all
residents
of
the
city
of
chelsea
and
whereas
the
specific
objective
of
the
city
of
chelsea's
zoning
ordinance
states
that
the
need
to
encourage
the
most
appropriate
use
of
land
throughout
the
city
of
chelsea
and
whereas
a
further
specific
objective
of
the
city
of
chelsea
zoning
ordinance
states
that
the
need
to
preserve
and
increase
amenities.
C
Whereas
the
city
of
chelsea
wishes
to
protect
the
industrial
character
of
the
portion
of
the
waterfront
along
chelsea
creek.
That
remains
within
the
designated
port
area.
And
whereas
the
city
of
chelsea
wishes
to
increase
its
tax
base
through
thoughtful
redevelopment
of
underutilized
parcels
along
and
adjacent
to
the
waterfront
along
chelsea
creek.
Whereas
the
city
of
chelsea
is
committed
to
harmonizing
and
aligning
and
zoning
ordinances.
With
the
recommendations
of
the
chelsea
creek
municipal
municipal
harbor
plan
and
designated
port
area
master
plan.
C
A
C
C
Before
us,
and
then
what
we
have
next
is
amendment
2,
that
section
34,
28
overlay
districts
be
amended
by
the
leading
the
waterfront
industrial
overlay
district
and
amendment
number
three
is
amending
divided
lot.
Amendment
number
four
is
amending
the
dimensional
table
by
adding
port
amendment
number
five
is
amending
lot
coverage,
important
waterfront,
upland
amendment
number
six
is
landscaping
requirement
and
waterfront.
C
Amendment
number
seven
is
adding
performance
standards
in
waterfront.
Amendment
number
eight
is
creating
waterfront
improvement,
trust
fund.
Amendment
number
nine
is
special
permit
criteria.
Amendment
in
port
district
amendment
number
10
is
site
plan
amendment
import
area,
master
plan.
Amendment
number
11
is
site
plan
amendment
in
port
area,
minor
plan.
Amendment
number
12
is
the
site
plan
review
amendment.
C
C
A
A
C
A
The
reason
why
is
that
for
some
reason
when
they,
when,
when
it
was
presented,
they
increased
the
height
that
could
be
done
on
the
water
side,
but
they
left
the
old
height
on
the
non-water
side.
I
think
it's
imperative
that
you
give
at
least
a
chance
for
the
water
non-water
side
that
if
and
when
there
are-
I
don't
know-
65
height
salt
piles-
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
that
they
should
be
equal
to
that
across
the
street.
A
AD
I
just
we've
had
this
before
us
for
months,
we've
had
several
subcommittees.
I
don't
feel
comfortable
approving
an
amendment
on
the
floor
without
having
had
a
proper
discussion
about
this
in
the
subcommittee
meeting.
So
if
there
is
an
amendment
to
anything,
I
will
ask
that
we
are
voting
on
things
individually
anyway,
right
so
we're
having
17
different
amendment
votes.
AD
C
B
AD
G
AD
A
A
Any
of
these
uses
would
ever
be
there
and
second
wouldn't
want
them
to
be
allowed
next
to
residential
homes
anyway.
So
I'd
like
to
make
sure
that
our
residents
are
not
putting
up
with
the
pains
of
industrial
or
light
industrial,
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
uses,
and
I
will
read
off
the
uses
that
I'm
talking
about
that
and
I'm
going
to
say
simply.
A
D
I
think
you
know
some
of
those
things
that
my
fellow
counselors
trying
to
strike
would
actually
work
in
that
area.
There
I
mean-
and
it's
true
that
most
likely
none
of
them
are
really
going
to
try
to
petition
us
to
come
there,
but
some
of
the
things
that
was
mentioned
here
I
mean
because
it's
the
waterfront,
because
it's
an
area
where
shipping
and
water
supplies
and
water
storage-
I
mean
that's
the
only
place
you
can
have
those
kind
of
businesses.
If
they
come
in
here,
you
can't
have
them
in
prattville.
D
You
can't
have
them
over
in
fort
park.
Well,
maybe
you
can't
have
them
in
fort
park,
it's
water
area,
so
I
I
think,
just
to
have
the
opportunity
to
have
something.
If
we,
you
know
in
the
future,
entertain
a
business
to
come
in
here.
We
should
at
least
have
that
opportunity
and
again
it
has
to
go
to
special,
permitting
so
I'll.
Be
voting
to
I'd.
Be
voting
against
that,
because
I
just
think
some
of
those
things
that
you
mentioned
a
lot
of
those
things
that
you
mentioned
they
fit
they
fit
well
in
there.
D
It's
not
a
boston
highs
and
fers,
it's
not
a
place
where
they're
going
to
be
doing.
You
know
killing
animals
and
leaving
them
out
on
the
sidewalks
and
smalling
up
the
vent,
no
ventilations,
and
all
that
I
think
we've
come
far
further
than
that
to
allow
something
to
go.
Come
back
there
like
that,
and
I
think,
with
the
special
pyramiding
that
we'll
see
that
at
the
door,
if
it
becomes
too
outdoor
for
proposal.
Thank
you.
B
B
A
Through
the
chair,
there
is
an
amendment
that
would
take
away
light
industrial
and
marine
related
industrial
out
from
the
non-water
side.
So
the
areas
that
border
suffolk
street
highland,
not
highland
rather
shirtless
and
hawthorne.
We
would
not
allow
welding
light
industrial
manufacturing
or
seafood
plants
and
such
related
areas.
They
would
simply
stay
on
the
other
side
of
marginal
street,
which
is
the
water
side.
G
A
C
G
G
G
C
A
AD
Yes,
I
just
simply
wanted
to.
Can
you
all
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
I
just
wanted
to.
I
actually
agree
with
my
colleague
counselor
brown
and
some
of
the
things
that
council
of
the
counselor
agenda
mentioned
with
respect
to
like
seafood
use
or
things
that
are
specific
to
the
merit
to
the
marine
business.
I
do
think
that
it
seems
like
an
appropriate
location
again.
I
feel
really
uncomfortable
with
these
amendments.
C
AD
G
A
B
C
A
B
B
C
B
C
A
First,
I
would
be
in
favor.
This
is
a
motion
that
I
had
brought
to
the
planning
board
to
revise
the
route
16
area.
Originally
this
as
it
read
as
originally
here,
revere
beach,
parkway
route,
16
area
to
business
highway.
However,
the
planning
board
recommended
that
we
not
adopt
it
as
a
business
highway,
but
rather
as
a
br2
district.
Therefore,
I
am
introducing
the
amendment.
A
They
would
these
amendments
include
the
change,
the
changing
the
number
of
units,
or
no
rather,
descriptions
are
in
the
r2
district,
the
dimensions
in
the
r1
and
r2
number
of
quest
number
units
allowed
and
also
would
amend
the
park
street
area
from
an
r2
district
to
an
r
b
district.
This
is
the
boyo
comparo
area
between
park,
ave
and
well
congress,
but
there's
a
street
behind
it.
I
can't
think
of
the
street.
That's
behind
ellen,
yes,
ellsworth,
correct.
A
And
there's
also
amendment
six,
which
was
the
creation
of
a
downtown
parking
district
sticker
program
for
those
who
get
a
special
permit
and
then
the
creation
number
seven
is
the
creation.
Amendment
number
seven
is
the
creation
of
the
mixed
overlay
district,
which
is
the
area
over
the
triangle
area
off
of
everedav
and
vale
street,
for
the
density
councilor.
A
J
C
J
C
D
A
Through
the
chair,
if
you
look
at
the
amendment
packet,
okay,
amendment
number
six
includes
this
paragraph.
That
is
six
and
seven,
not
the
actual
counselor
robinson's
amendment
replaces
its
amendment
six
and
it
has
ads
paragraph
six
and
seven,
so
it
would
adopt
all
this.
Okay.
If
you
look
at
this
packet
right
here,
the
amendment
in
the
packet
is
number
six
and
that's
why
it's
called
number
six.
Okay,.
AD
A
A
I
just
think
that
again,
I'm
not
buying
into
the
words
of
developers
right
now
who
are
building
on
top
of
downtown
broadway
and
then
with
no
thought
whatsoever
into
solving
any
of
their
parking
needs
and
then
are
asking
the
city
to
come
with
creative
ways
to
solve
the
problems
they
are.
They
are
creating.
A
I
just
don't
you
know
again.
I
don't
agree
with
it
because,
as
I
said,
they
have
come
in
front
of
the
board.
They
stay
years
for
years.
Oh,
don't
worry
about
the
cars,
because
everyone's
jumping
on
the
silver
line.
Don't
worry
about
the
cars
because
they're
all
using
uber
and
all
this
other
stuff
and
the
zoning
board
bought
it
hookline
and
sinker.
And
now,
when
we
finally
said
okay,
you
want
to
play
this
game.
A
You
say
you're
not
going
to
have
cars,
we're
not
going
to
give
you
parking
permits
now,
all
of
a
sudden
they're
coming
back
and
he's
like.
Oh
no,
no,
we
do
need
cars,
we
need
we,
you
know
our
tenants
do
have
cars
and
I
can't
make
a
buck
if
you
know
I'm
trying
to
rent
an
apartment
without
having
a
parking
spot.
So
I
need
the
parking
spot
off
the
street.
Well,
no,
you
should
have
thought
of
that
before
you
belt
up
up
and
up
you
know
you
should
have
thought.
A
Well,
maybe
we're
going
to
have
to
have
parking,
so
you
can't
have
your
cake
and
eat
it
too.
So
I'd
rather
have
a
much
more
thorough
conversation
about
what
the
downtown
parking
needs
should
be.
You
know
if
you
want
to
build
a
garage.
Okay,
let's
have
at
it.
Let's
have
a
serious
conversation
that
we've
been
begging
for
years,
so
that
we
have
a
downtown
parking
garage
and
we
haven't
had
it
and
instead
we're
you
know,
being
told.
Oh,
no
we're
going
to
have
the
parking
underneath
the
tobin
bridge.
A
B
B
C
A
The
motion
to
adopt
as
a
whole
I'd
like
to
speak
on
it.
You
have
the
floor.
Thank
you.
I
will
be
voting
in
favor
of
the
increases
of
these
changes
in
the
amendments,
including
changing
the
zoning
for
the
park
square
area
and
also
some
of
the
density
the
city
manager
spoke
earlier
tonight
about
that.
The
changes
that
they're
proposing
is
not
as
dramatic
and
when
he
brought
up
an
example
of
where
he
lived.
A
It
actually
reminded
me
of
you
know
my
first
home,
which
was
that
I
bought,
which
was
a
three
family,
there's
a
three
family
on
bellingham
hill.
I
had
a
5
000
square
foot
lot
and
it
was
a
three
family
and
I
had
three
park:
a
driveway
and
three
parking
spots
in
back.
That's
on
five
thousand
square
feet:
a
three
family.
A
In
addition
to
that,
I
had
a
porch
in
the
front
and
a
porch
in
the
back.
Every
single
apartment
had
that.
So,
when
we're
talking
about
these
marginal
from
seventy
five
hundred
dollar,
seventy
five
hundred
square
feet
down
to
five
thousand
to
build
a
two
family
in
those
areas.
I
don't
see
it
a
problem
when
I
myself
knew
what
it
would
experience
like
to
live
in
a
three
family
with
a
5
000
square
foot
lot.
A
A
You
know
allowing
some
of
this
building
that's
going
on,
because
on
at
the
time
you
know
we
had
four
thousand
square
foot
minimum
lot
sizes,
so
it
was.
It
was
crazy
that
we
were
allowing
four
thousand
lot
sizes
and
we're
having
three
families
be
built,
so
he
said
yeah
sure
go
ahead,
make
a
suggestion
and
I
went
with
7
500
square
feet
low
and
behold
I
didn't
know
he
was
going
to
come
and
bite
us
back
in
the
butt.
A
A
A
A
I
get
it
that's
fine,
but
in
order
to
have
that
position
you
need
18
units
of
affordable
housing.
That's
what
that
position
costs
to
fund
18
you
get
to
keep
that
person
hired.
You
need
to
have
18,
affordable
housing
units
built
tax
revenue
from
those.
If
it's
market
rate
condos
it's
12,
3
families,
lower
and
lower.
You
get
an
idea,
that's
how
you
equate
so
every
time
we
talk
about
you
know,
can
we
build
on
these
lots?
Or
can
we
have
development?
There
are
financial
implications.
A
So,
yes,
you
want
to
fund
food
pantries.
You
want
to
offer
our
graduating
high
school
students.
You
know
in
education
all
the
way
through
a
bachelor
degree,
or
rather
a
bachelor's
degree
at
the
local
community
college
yeah.
How
are
you
going
to
pay
for
it?
This
is
how
you
do
it
associates
degree.
Sorry,
thank
you.
A
This
is
how
you
got
to
do
it.
You
gotta,
you
know
you
gotta,
build
upon
the
land
that
you
have
now.
That's
one.
That's
another
reason
the
financial
implications
of
why
I'm
supporting
this.
You
know.
Lastly,
there
was
a
a
conversation
about
you
know
what
gets
torn
down
and
then
what
gets
built
in
response.
You
know
for
someone
who's
been
canvassing
the
you
know,
homes
of
chelsea
for
the
last
20
years,
both
as
a
political
candidate,
knocking
on
so
many
doors
and
also
as
a
real
estate
professional
who's
walked
into
so
many
houses.
A
I
mean,
let's,
let's
face
it,
they
they
can
be
replaced
and
that's
just
the
nature
of
real
estate.
No
one
bemoaned,
it
happens
not
only
in
residential,
it
happens
also
in
business,
and
it
happens
also
in
state
no
one
bemoaned
when
demoulas
said
hey,
you
know
what
our
current
building
no
longer
fits.
Our
needs
we're
going
to
knock
it
down
and
we're
going
to
build
a
brand
new,
bigger
store,
baldor
that
located
originally
on
2nd
street
out
outgrew.
A
A
A
Sometimes
you
knock
it
down
you're,
going
to
complain
that
the
you
know
we
knocked
down
chelsea
high
when
you
replaced
it
with
what
is
there
now
it's
bigger,
brighter,
more
energy
efficient
by
the
way
you
also
rebuilding
homes
that
are
no
longer
energy
efficient,
having
old
systems,
old
pipes,
lead
pipes,
lead
paint
and
all
that
so
yeah
again
I'm
for
this!
It's
it's
it's!
It
is
a
modest
increase
and
some
of
these
densities
that
you're
talking
about
is
still.
A
This
is
still
less
dense
than
some
of
the
projects
that
advocates
went
in
favor
of
it's
dense,
less
dense
than
arcadia
tnd's
building,
it's
less
dense
than
midas,
it's
less
dense
than
highland
and
those
are
all
affordable.
But
when
you
talk
about
creating
homeownership
opportunities
for
our
residents,
potentially
you're,
saying
oh
no,
that's
too
dense.
It
makes
no
sense,
you're
actually
pushing
again.
I
said
it
two
weeks
ago,
you're
pushing
out
the
very
same
working
class
here
because
they
can't
afford
to
live
here
anymore.
A
A
D
Thank
you
miss
president,
mrs
vice
president
I'll
be
quick.
We
just
voted
against
the
parking
order,
just
not
but
a
half
a
block
away
from
the
area.
We're
speaking
about
that
that
my
fellow
council
just
spoke
about
that's
all
good
and
dandy.
If
we're
looking
at
home
ownership,
if
we're
looking
at
one
or
two
units,
but
if
we're
looking
at
something
like
100,
pearl
street
or
larger,
then
again
you
have
you
have
a
dense
area.
D
D
It's
not
like
we're
talking
about
over
by
vale
street.
What
we're
talking
about
down
behind
the
tracks?
We're
talking
about
in
the
center
of
park's
feet
right
over
there,
where
division
going
coming
into
chelsea.
So
I
just
want
us
to
be
careful
about
what
we
vote
on
without
knowing
what's
going
to
be
there
yeah.
If
it's
going
to
be,
you
know
home
ownership,
we're
going
to
have
four
units
there.
D
Great,
you
don't
need
a
car,
but
if
it's
going
to
be
a
unit
where
you're
going
to
have
25
units,
26
units
you're
going
to
have
a
problem,
people
still
want
to
bring
their
cars
believe
it
or
not.
People
still
want
to
drive
cars,
people
still
own
cars
and
when
they
come
to
chelsea
they're
not
going
to
come
to
chelsea
just
because
they
have
to
get
rid
of
a
car
they're
going
to
come
to
chelsea,
because
this
is
the
place
that
they
want
to
come
to.
D
G
Space
area
right
in
this
section
here
where
it
says
it
should
be
reduced
reduced
by
one
square
foot
for
each
square,
foot
of
open
space
that
is
accessible
to
the
general
public.
Why
are
we
decreasing
the
open
space?
Why
don't
we
increase
open
space?
You
know
whether
people
can
get
it
we're
here,
we're
saying
less!
G
That's
the
only
problem
I
have
with
this
is
the
open
space
area.
You
should
have
more
open
space,
more
things
for
the
people.
You
know
more
open
space,
so
we
can
all
enjoy
it
more.
Otherwise,
I
see
no
problem
with
this.
There's
nothing
really
you're
doing,
but
what
the
law
says.
The
law
allows
you
to
build
so
much
in
such
a
thing
and
you
making
more
affordable
units.
So
it's
a
good
thing,
just
the
open
space.
I
don't
understand
the
open
space.
Why
are
we
reducing
it
from
one
square
foot
open
space,
we're
reducing?
G
C
AF
Could
you
hear
me
now
yes
cloud,
including
thank
you
if
you're
decreasing
the
size
of
the
parcel
you're
not
going
to
be
able
to
create
as
much
open
space
as
you
would,
if
possible,
larger
and
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
misnomer
when
we
say
that
we're
decreasing
the
amount
of
open
space?
What
we're
decreasing
is
the
amount
of
open
space,
as
defined
by
the
zoning
and
in
this
case,
in
a
flat
area.
It's
anything
at
least
10
feet
by
10
feet.
AB
G
C
C
G
AD
AD
I
just
to
speak
on
it.
I
appreciate
counselor
the
council
president's
viewpoint
about
how
real
estate
works,
and
my
argument
is
that
that
is
the
exact
problem
that
we
tend
to
cater
to
certain
folks
in
the
community
as
opposed
to
the
needs.
Here,
we
are
creating
a
concrete
jungle
in
a
city
that
is
a
heat
island
that
is
one
of
the
most
densest
in
the
state
and
the
nation.
AD
AD
AD
I
think
we
need
a
holistic
approach
to
this,
and
I
think
that
that's
the
most
responsible
way
of
going
about
this,
as
opposed
to
trying
to
cater
to
developers
and
people
who
of
affluence
that
are
just
perpetuate
perpetuating
the
displacement
of
our
residents.
So
I
don't
think
that
we
should
be
voting
on
this
I'll,
be
voting
against
it,
or
I
ask
that.
Are
we
at
least
laid
on
the
table,
the
amendments
two
three
and
four,
because
I
will
not
be
supporting
it,
as
is
thank
you
thank.
C
You
councillor,
though
I
do
want
to
clarify
something
for
the
entire
council.
I
am
being
informed
by
our
council
clerk
that
it
is
out
of
order
to
table
the
amendments
as
presented
so
amendment
two
three
and
four
cannot
be
tabled.
However,
you
do
have
the
option
to
to
send
the
whole
package
so
the
so
this
particular
item
before
us,
the
packet
in
front
of
us.
You
have
the
the
option
to
send
all
of
it
to
to
to
table
it.
C
AE
AE
B
C
B
G
C
We've
laid
it
on
the
table,
so
you
can
decide
so
just
to
clarify.
Counselor
redoud
has
laid
it
on
the
table,
which
means
we
cannot
have
a
discussion
on
it.
So
you
can
vote
yes
to
lay
it
on
the
table
and
if
you
do
that,
then
we
won't
be
discussing.
We
have
a
tight
deadline.
If
you
vote
no,
then
we
can
have
discussion.
M
B
C
The
motion
before
us
is
the
one
present
just
for
clarification
purposes.
The
motion
before
us
is
the
motion
that
was
originally
presented
to
us
by
counselor
avayanera
now
does
anyone
else
wish
to
speak,
to
adopt
and
to
clarify
this
is
to
adopt,
as
presented
by
the
planning
board
and
by
amendment
by
the
planning
board?
AD
Thank
you,
madam
vice
chair.
I
just
want
to
reiterate
what
I
just
stated.
We
are
in
a
housing
crisis
right
now,
and
we
cannot
pretend
that
we're
making
decisions
right
now
on
the
floor
that
are
not
going
to
affect
the
long-term
effect
of
the
long-term
future
of
our
community.
We
are
creating
concrete
jungles.
We
are
perpetuating
cycles
of
displacement.
We
are
not
creating
family
homes.
We
have
a
huge
issue
here
and
I
think
it's
something
that
we
really
need
to
look
at.
I
will
be
voting
against
it.
AD
C
C
Made
a
mistake:
I
allowed
her
to
speak.
I
was
relying
on
the
counsel
of
our
clerk,
who
just
informed
me
that
that
was
out
of
order,
so
your
speaking
portion
was
out
of
order.
I
apologize
to
the
body.
I
made
a
mistake
by
allowing
her
to
speak
again.
Can
we
move
on?
Does
anybody
who
has
not
spoken
yet
would
like
to
speak?
AE
I
AE
So
if
we
added
number
six
into
this
vote,
that's
a
two-thirds
passing
everything
else
is
a
majority
under
the
new
zoning
laws.
So
what
counselor?
What
the
council
president
has
put
before
you
is
an
entire
packet
to
delete
number
six.
So
number
six
is
involved
in
this
vote.
So
therefore,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
all.
On
the
same
page.
Everything
now
has
to
pass
by
a
two-thirds
vote
based.

O
M
B
A
C
A
G
G
For
many
years,
I've
been
advocating
for
that.
Our
city
needs
a
community
center.
It
is
the
greatest
thing
it
builds
up
our
community
and
establishes
relationship
between
every
sector
of
our
community.
Every
person
in
our
community
goes
to
a
community
center
and
I
always
heard
we
cannot
afford
it.
It's
too
much
money.
G
I
was
going
to
pay
for
it
who's
going
to
do
this
who's
going
to
do
that.
What
is
the
price
that
we
put
on
everybody's
lives?
What
is
the
price?
There
is
no
price.
A
community
center
is
a
very
important
integral
part
of
our
community.
I
was
raised
in
a
community
center.
It's
a
it's
a
great
thing
to
have
a
community
center
there's
nothing
wrong
with
having
one,
and
I
think
it
will
benefit
all
the
young
men
and
all
the
young
women,
the
old
people.
Everybody
will
benefit
from
a
community
center.
G
So
it's
time
that
maybe
the
city
itself,
with
private
investors
or
whatever
it
is.
We
have
one.
I
believe
our
city
deserves
one.
We
have
a
diverse
community
of
many
different
cultures,
many
different
races
and
all
kinds.
It's
very
diverse.
What's
wrong
with
a
community,
we
have
a
community
school.
I
grant
that
we
have
it,
but
a
community
school
is
not
a
community
center.
You
have
to
make
an
appointment.
G
You
have
to
do
this
and
you
have
to
do
that.
A
community
center,
like
they
have
in
boston
like
to
having
malden
method,
whatever
they
have
them
everywhere,
whether
they
have
them
up
the
cape.
You
can
go
in
and
say
I
want
to
come
in.
You
don't
have
to
make
an
appointment,
you
can
go
and
see.
You
can
go
and
talk
to
other
people.
G
G
G
We
had
asked
for
that
because
back
then
I
was
from
I
remember
correctly.
I
was
told
we
were
going
to
be
told
after
the
study
was
done.
I
don't
know
if
the
study
was
ever
done
and
if
it
was
done,
we
should
be
notified
and
let
us
know
what
the
final
outcome
is,
because
that
area
didn't
change
much.
That
area
is
still
very
congested
and
you
can't
even
move.
So
I
would
like
to
know
what
is
the
money
that
we
spent?
We
spent
money
on
that
we
gave
money
for
it
to
be,
have
a
study.
G
I
would
like
to
know
what
was
the
final
outcome
of
it?
What
does
the
city
intend
to
do?
What
are
we
going
to
do
about
that
congested
place?
So
I
think
it's
been
two
years
now,
it's
time
that
we
have
an
update
and
it
exactly
tells
us
what
we're
going
to
do
and
how
you're
going
to
remedy
the
situation.
A
Next
order
is
an
order
introduced
by
council,
robinson
sections
regards
to
mgl
3044,
section
4664.
Rather,
budget
management
procedures
whereby
costs
incurred
fy,
18,
fy,
19,
fy
20
were
not
paid
or
owed
to
the
vendor
and
to
meet
this
obligation.
Funds
are
required
for
the
current
fy21
that
the
city
council
authorizing
expenditures
of
150
from
fy18
240.
from
fy19
and
295
to
2925
thousand
dollars,
fy20
from
inspectional
services
to
expenditure
to
line
satisfy
unpaid
emergency
board,
up
services,
balance
owed.
A
F
F
They
share
multiple
homes,
67
billingham,
as
you
mentioned
in
22
and
34
college
entrance-
that
way
to
access
the
backyard
to
park.
But
no
one
knows
who
owns
the
pathway,
there's
an
alley
there
and
nobody
seems
to
be
responsible
for
keeping
and
considering
many
homes,
utilize
the
pathway
to
ask
the
parking
spaces.
The
city
of
churches
should
help
mediate
and
support,
clarify
clarifying
property
lines
and
ownership
of
this
pathway.
Another
concern
is
many.
Pedestrians
walk
through
this
pathway
as
a
shortcut
from
cottage
to
bellingham
and
vice
versa.
F
This
has
not
set
a
well
with
residents
in
college,
as
they
have
many
trespasses
going
through
the
property
in
backyard.
So
we
like
to
see
some
clarification
who
owns
the
path,
this
pathway,
this
driveway
this
alley,
whether
people
go
back
to
fall
at
any
hours
the
day
and
night.
So
please.
I
would
like
to
city
manager
to
report
to
to
us
and
see
who
owns
that
and
why
67
bellingham
owns
the
parking
lot
in
the
back
and
they
go
through
cottage.
Thank
you.
B
Order
right,
introduced
by
council
robinson
audit
that,
in
accordance
with
the
massachusetts
general
law,
chapter
44,
section
64
budget
management
procedures
whereby
a
cost
incurred
in
fy
20
was
not
paid
in
his
own
defender
and
to
meet
this
obligation.
Funds
are
required
from
the
covent
fy
21
budget
that
the
city
council
authorizes
the
expenditure
of
127.73
from
the
human
resource
department
expended
the

to
satisfy

D
Council
brown,
all
right
folks
as
to
go
out
as
you
go
out.
Please
continue
to
stay
masked
up.
Please
continue
to
keep
the
social
distance.
I
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
conversation
statewide
and
nationally
a
lot
of
places
are
getting
a
little
lax.
A
lot
of
places
are
opening
up,
but
we
here
in
chelsea
we
know
the
numbers
are
going
down,
but
we
still
need
to
keep
a
a
hold
on
this
virus.
This
pandemic
we're
not
out
of
it
yet,
please.
D
You
know
if
you're
in
a
category
age
where
you
can
actually
get
a
shot,
there's
some
lines
here
that
you
can
contact,
there's
a
lot
of
efforts
here
in
chelsea
to
making
sure
the
chelsea
residents,
especially
those
over
65
veterans,
they're,
getting
the
opportunity
to
get
it
right
away
and
then
there's
other
other
opportunities,
but
please
continue
to
mess
up
and
continue
to
be
safe
and
respectful
to
your
neighbors
and
to
your
colleagues.
Thank.
F
Go
over
it
again,
I
know
councilor
cooper,
a
couple
of
meetings
back.
He
mentioned
something
about
people
who's
getting
food
from,
I
think
the
collaborative
or
or
some
looks
or
salvation
army
what
people
are
doing
is
taking
boxes
of
food
and
leaving
them
on
the
sidewalks.
I
got
calls
that
people
are
leaving
that
and
also
they
live
in
the
boxes
with
fruits
and
everything.
F
On
top
of
the
barrels
that
the
city
put
so,
which
is
when
the
you
know,
if
you
guys
don't
need
the
food,
don't
pick
it
up,
because
there's
all
the
people
who
needs
it
and
for
you
just
to
take
one
thing
or
a
couple
of
things
that
you
need
from
the
box
and
leave
the
rest
there
out
of
tea.
Then
it's
it's
not
right.
People
there's
other
people
hungry,
so
we
should
leave
the
food
for
people
who
really
need
it.
F
So
please
have
some
consideration
who
for
mothers,
who
are
pulling
the
stroller
with
the
kids
people
who
are
going
to
the
laundromat
with
big
bags,
pushing
carriage
think
about
these
people
that
need
that
space?
Please
don't
block,
and
I
hope,
maybe
the
police
be
a
little
more
strong
and
start
to
give
them
some
fines.
Thank
you.
A
Just
want
to
remind
people
that
last
week
on
march,
1st
was
the
beginning
of
street
sweeping
in
the
city
of
chelsea,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you,
you
know,
remember
that
they're
going
to
start
ticketing
now
you
want
to
avoid
those
confrontations
to
please
be
aware
of
the
signage
in
your
neighborhood
and
that
street
sweeping
and
parking
enforcement
has
started
last
monday
today
is
our
first
meeting
since
that
started.
So
I
just
want
to
make
people
aware
to
please
make
sure
you
move
your
cars
on
street
sweeping
day,
counselor,
garcia,.
C
To
add,
aside
from
the
mask
and
aside
from
trying
to
get
your
vaccine,
don't
forget
to
get
tested,
please
please.
We
have
seen
a
decrease
in
the
number
of
people
going
out
there
to
get
tested,
and
this
is
very
important
information.
Our
city
manager,
tom
bracino,
has
already
pointed
out
that,
yes,
we
should
be
cautiously
optimistic
that
we
are
on
the
yellow
zone,
but
we
that
can
quickly
change
and
those
numbers
could
be
very
skewed
if
we
are
not
going
out
there
to
get
tested.
