From YouTube: Charter Review Committee Meeting of 7-22-20

A
A
I
want
to
explain
to
everyone
that
this
was
a
special
committee
created
to
review
the
most
important
legal
document
of
our
city,
which
is
the
city
charter.
The
way
we
do
this
is
in
every
section
and
every
meeting
we
read
a
different
section.
We
discuss
it
and
members
of
this
committee
have
the
opportunity
to
submit
suggestions
or
recommendations
of
changes
they
would
like
to
make
to
the
charter.
We
do
not
engage
in
making
final
decisions
on
what
has
changed
and
what
is
not.
A
A
My
role
as
a
chairwoman
is
to
facilitate
this
discussion,
so
that
being
said
today,
we
will
be
reviewing
section
four.
As
soon
as
we
get
by
our
next
section
and
item
with
the
agenda,
so
for
now
we
are
moving
to
the
second
part.
The
third
part
of
our
agenda,
which
is
discussing
any
lingering
questions
comments
from
previous
sections.
A
A
A
Good
morning,
folks,
I
would
like
the
committee
to
visit
the
idea
of
putting
in
a
suspend
clause
for
a
council
person,
school
committee
members
city
manager,
if
they're
indicted,
I'm
sure
you
are
all
aware
of
what
is
happening
with
the
la
council,
one
of
their
counselors,
jose
wizard
was
just
indicted
for
racketeering
by
the
fbi.
I
have
attached
an
article
with
the
details.
She
attached
an.
C
A
A
Scandal
when
the
boston
city
council
removed
mr
turner,
he
went
to
court
and
won
a
settlement
of
a
hundred
and
six
thousand
dollars
in
back
pay,
because
the
court
found
that
the
council
did
not
did
have
the
authority
to
remove
him
again
because
it
was
not
in
the
charge.
Mr
turner
was
found
guilty
and
spent
time
in
jail.
All
of
the
above
can
be
void
avoided
if
we
place
in
the
charter
a
suspend
a
spread
clause
with
guidelines.
My.
C
D
A
A
So
I
can
go
ahead
and
make
sure
it
makes
it
to
the
agenda
and
that
the
public
is
aware
of
any
conversations
that
are
happening
if
there's
any
conversation
that
happens
either
via
email
text
or
chats
in
the
zoom
meetings.
This
has
to
be
presented
to
the
council.
It
is
a
violation
of
the
open
meeting
law
if
we
have
these
conversations
via
email
chat
or
any
form
of
digital
device
that
the
public
is
not
seeing.
So
that's
why
this
is
being
read
now.
A
A
Thank
you.
So
now
I
go
ahead
and
I
read
royale
veganera,
who
is
not
a
member
of
this
committee,
but
he
did
reply
to
this
and
for
the
record
I
am
reading
this
to
not
violate
any
open
meeting
laws,
hello,
charter
team.
I
would
like
to
follow
up
on
this
issue
that
made
be
in
a
in
another
but
related
direction.
A
I've
been
made
aware
to
me
that
if
an
individual
has
been
convicted
of
a
felony
and
then
later
has
his
or
her
record
sealed
that
those
felonies
would
not
be
found
by
a
city
clerk
during
a
criminal
offender
record
information
background
check,
the
individual
with
a
sealed
record
will
then
be
allowed
to
run
and
hold
office.
This
basically
circumvents
the
whole
purpose
of
what
the
charter
was
meant
to
prohibit.
A
I
propose
that
language
be
added
in
the
charter
that
stipulates
any
candidate
wishing
to
run
for
office
sign
an
affidavit
that
they
do
not
have
any
criminal
court
records,
sealed
under
the
pains
and
penalties
of
perjury.
So
that
was
the
communication
submitted
by
royal
media
as
well
and
mimi.
I
would
like
to
open
the
floor
to
mimi.
If
you
have
any
comments
or
additions
that
you
want
to
make.
E
Yes,
can
you
hear
me
yeah?
Yes,
okay,
I
just
want
people
to
understand
that
the
difference
between
being
arrested
and
being
indicted
you
can
be
arrested
for
dui's,
ouis
disturbing
the
peace
you
know
going
to
a
con,
but
if
you're
indicted,
which
is
a
different
level,
you-
and
I
can't
think
of
anything-
you
can
be
indicted
for
that.
I
think
you
shouldn't
off
the
council.
You
could
be
indicted
for
tax
fraud,
murder,
sex
trafficking,
you
name
it
you
can
be
indicted
and
what
they
did
in
l.a.
E
It
was
very
disturbing.
Is
they
put
in
a
clause
in
their
charter
that
says
that
either
you
are
convicted
or
you
plead
and
hope,
and
this
councilman
did
not
plead
so
he
still
gets
paid
now
that
council
gets
paid
quite
a
little
quite
a
lot
of
money,
paid
180
000
a
year
to
be
a
city
council
in
la,
but
it
is
very
disturbing
to
me
that
he
could
and
he
got
voted
out,
so
he
won't
be
on
the
council
after
four
months
or
something
he
did
get
voted
out.
E
E
Why
would
you
want
to
diminish
the
council
that
it's,
you
know
just
suspend
them
and
if
they
are
found
in
it
they
can
come
back
onto
the
council,
but
it's
that's
how
I
I
feel
kind
of
strongly
about
that,
and
you
know
to
say
that's
why
turner
got
his
money,
because
the
council
could
he
he
back
pay
plus
the
city
of
boston,
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
get
rid
of
him
and
he
and
he
was
guilty
over
a
thousand
dollar
bribe.
It
was
very
sad.
Mr
turner
did
a
lot
of
good
for
the
city.
E
A
F
I
just
want
to
remind
everybody:
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
that
massachusetts
has
corey
reform
and
although
people
are
indicted
that
they're
not
found
guilty
and
you
are
innocent
until
proven
guilty,
at
least
in
the
commonwealth
of
massachusetts,
whether
it's
an
arrest
or
an
indictment
and
as
a
black
person.
I
find
this
very
a
discriminatory
measure
that
we're
about
to
make
when
lots
of
black
people
are
indicted
and
and
and
are
treated
differently
in
the
criminal
justice
system.
F
I
don't
believe
that
overreaching
change
in
our
charter
will
pass
through
our
state
legislature
and
would
pass
through
our
residents,
especially
in
this
time.
So,
do
I
think
that
we
need
to
look
at
crimes
against
the
city
or
misconduct
in
your
office.
That's
a
different
story,
but
to
just
say
that
someone
was
picked
up
because
they
they
they
were
indicted
at
the
age
of
22.
That
means
they
can
never
run
for
city
council
that
I
find
far-reaching.
F
I
already
find
out
our
charter
far-reaching
and
I'm
the
one
who
enforces
it,
but
a
sales
record
means
that
it
went
away.
So,
regardless
of
what
the
council
of
engineers
says,
it
doesn't
exist
anymore,
right,
it's
off
the
records,
so
just
because
someone
did
something
at
the
age
of
21
when
they're
50,
something
years
old,
a
felony
could
have
been,
they
were
in
a
fight
and
someone
got
hurt
or
they
stole
something
over
250
dollars.
F
The
loss
changes
between
a
misdemeanor
and
a
felony
for
us
to
do
this
to
our
minority
population,
to
our
youth
population,
to
say
to
them
that
they
can't
rehabilitate
at
the
age
of
60
and
run
for
city
council
I
find
so
far
overreaching.
I
don't
believe
it's
going
to
pass.
I
understand
what
went
on
in
la.
I
know:
diane
wilkerson.
Personally,
I
understand
she
was
found
guilty.
F
She
should
never
be
on
a
council
again,
but
I
do
think
that
I
mean
a
public
person
again,
but
I
just
think
that
we
need
to
rethink
this
very
carefully
before
we
put
it
before
our
residents
and
before
the
state
legislature.
I
hope
everyone
is
aware
of
quarry
reform
where
we
can't
even
ask
for
a
sealed
record.
We
can't
even
prove
somebody.
F
A
H
I
F
So
speed
was
diane
was
a
legislator.
She
was
not
a
city.
Yes,
that
is
correct,
that
there
are
removal
methods
in
both
the
charter
and
in
the
state
law
to
remove
someone.
But
let's
go
back
to
our
own
history:
we've
had
mayors
and
people
convicted
and
people.
The
electorate
voted
someone
in
whereby
we
had
a
lawsuit.
We
had
to
remove
them
because
they
at
that
point
had
a
felony.
F
I
think
cambridge
went
through
it
also,
so
people
still
elect
because
their
popularity
votes
right
and-
and
I
I
believe,
that's
what
the
charter
initially
in
94
was
trying
to
prevent,
is
someone
who
has
done
misconduct
in
the
city
to
be
able
to
become
a
public
official
in
the
city
or
an
elected
official
in
the
city.
So
that's
what
chelsea's
history
has.
So
I
understand
mimi
in
some
way
we
get
rid
of
you,
but
then
the
elector,
the
voters
put
you
back
in.
A
J
A
J
E
A
E
E
I
can
hear
you,
but
I
I'm
not
I'm
not
trying
to
make
this
if
anything.
What's
going
on
in
our
society
right
now
is
really
disturbing
to
me
as
well
and
and
I'm
not.
This
has
nothing
to
do
with
our
president,
who
we
or
anything
along
those
lines
on
national
levels.
What
I'm
just
saying
is:
there's
something
about
some.
E
If
you
want
to
see
if
they're
indicted
against
the
city,
then
they
should
just
be
suspended,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
all
indictments,
but
I
do
think
if
you
have
someone
who's
paid,
a
play
which
what
these
two
issue
two
examples.
I
gave
you
and
they're
still
on
the
council.
It's
it's
kind
of
disturbing.
E
That's
what
I
meant
about
guidelines.
You
can
pick.
If
you
just
say
they
get
you
know.
Do
you
really
want
a
councilman
or
council
person
on
that
whose
pay
to
play
and
has
access
to
all
the
information
while
they're
still
under
indictment?
I
don't,
I
don't
think
that's
a
good.
I
don't
think
that
serves
the
city
in
any
way,
shape
or
form.
If
anything,
I
think
it
makes
the
city
look
worse.
We're
here
to
the
people,
trust
us.
E
E
F
Across
that
way,
I
think
certain
types
of
laws
and
rules
affect
the
minority
population
differently
so
and
that's
how
we
get
systematic
systemic
racism.
So
that's
why
I
wanted
to
make
sure
and
it
had
nothing
to
do
with
diane
and
chuck.
When
I
was
saying
what
I
was
saying,
I
just
want
us
to
realize
that
when
we
put
in
something
about
someone's
past
history,
what
they
could
have
done
and
not
done,
we
have
to
recognize
that
they
may
have
been
young
and
there's
all
sorts
of
different
reasons.
So
that's
what
I
like
saying.
E
No,
I
totally
agree,
and
I
understand
what
I
don't
understand,
what
roy's
trying
to
say.
I
agree
you
could.
What
you
do
with
21
is
totally
different
than
what
you
do
at
40.,
everybody,
second
chance,
even
third
chances,
but
if
you're
on
the
council-
and
you
do
pay
for
play,
why
should
you?
Why
should
you
stay
on
the
council?
Why
why
that's
being
under
investigated?
You
can
be
very
limited.
That's
all
I'm
saying
it's
just
it's
frightening!
You
know
the
city
council.
Did
both
councils
try
to
get
these
members
off
and
they
couldn't.
A
B
Actually,
all
the
things
that
were
put
in
the
chat
was
for
the
protection
of
the
people
in
the
community,
and
actually
there
was
a
case
where
a
person
who
had
a
felony
ran
and
won
the
election
or
could
not
take
the
seat
because
he
had
the
felony.
The
person
who
lost
actually
ended
up
staying
in
the
seat.
But
there
are
protections
here.
For
you
know,
people
in
the
community.
A
H
A
K
K
They
are
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
are
residents
of
city
of
the
city,
but
are
not
citizens,
which
means
that
they
are
not
allowed
the
right
to
vote,
which
inherently
means
they
are
not
being
represented
in
the
council
or
in
the
school
board.
So
with
that
being
said,
I'd
like
to
start
reading
off
what
we
wrote,
and
I
say
we
because
it's
been
a
couple
of
other
students
of
chelsea
high
school
with
help
from
their
parents
and
them
as
well.
K
That
we've
been
able
to
write
this
proposal,
and
so
I
will
now
start
reading.
So
this
is
for
the
city
of
chelsea
from
we,
the
people
we,
the
people
of
chelsea,
stand
together
in
union
to
propose
an
amendment
to
the
chelsea
city.
Children
before
said
amendment
be
stated,
an
introduction
should
follow.
K
K
Who
is
the
city
council
supposed
to
represent,
if
not
its
constituents,
and
when
I
say
constituent,
I
do
not
mean
the
resident
who
votes?
I
am
saying
the
resident,
who
is
part
of
a
whole
and
part
of
our
city?
We
know
the
law
and
we
know
some
will
say:
illegal
immigrants
are
not
allowed
to
vote,
some
might
even
use.
The
word
aliens
are
not
allowed
to
vote.
However,
I
know
the
city
of
chelsea
and
I
know
you
representatives.
K
You
will
not
use
such
derogatory
insults
to
your
constituents.
We
know
the
law,
and
that
is
why
we
are
here.
We
know
that
this
law
isn't
just
in
our
duty
as
people
of
this
nation,
calls
upon
us
to
fight
and
stand
in
union
against
unjust
laws
as
martin
luther
king
jr
put
it
any
law
that
uplifts
human
personality
is
just
any
law
that
degrades
human
personality
is
unjust.
K
K
However,
as
representatives
of
our
city,
I
have
never
entertained
the
thought
that
you
will
not
fight
for
our
interests,
as
your
constituents
know
that
this
is
not
only
a
fight
to
rectify
a
racial
injustice
in
the
political
sphere,
but
it
is
also
a
fight
to
settle
things
one
once
and
for
all.
That
is.
The
city
of
chelsea
is
more
than
capable
of
conducting
its
local
matters
with
due
diligence.
K
The
state
may
have
laws
and
rules
that
oversee
the
state.
However,
when
local
matters
are
not
concerned
to
the
state,
the
municipalities
should
be
given
the
right
to
conduct
self-government
in
those
areas
voting
which
aims
to
represent
the
city
and
its
population.
Nothing
beyond
should
fall
under
the
name
of
local
matters
and
thus
be
the
decision
over
who
votes
and
who
does
not
vote
should
be
the
jurisdiction
of
the
city
council
with
that
being
said,
I'd
like
to
also
add
that
there
is
a
precedent
to
this.
A
Thank
you
manuel
thank
you
so
much
and
before.
If
I
may
speak
from
the
chair,
I
say
thank
you
for
taking
the
opportunity
not
only
to
read
the
city
charter,
but
also
invites
other
chelsea
high
school
students
and
members
and
graduates
I
mean
so.
A
combination
of
both
our
youth
is
actually
being
very
active
in
reading
this
charter
and
giving
their
feedback.
So
I
thank
you
and
the
other
20
students
who
are
actively
doing
this
work
and
for
doing
your
homework
doing
your
homework.
A
It's
very
clear
here
and-
and
I
look
forward
to
taking
the
suggestion,
including
it
to
the
pile
and
also
hearing
what
members
of
this
current
committee
have
to
say
about
it.
If
there's
any
comments
of
anyone
on
the
floor
right
now,
alex
you're
the
first
one
so
I'll
give
you
the
floor,
quick
question.
F
Are
you
asking
yeah
sure
so
manuel
is
correct
that
he
did
contact
me
so
samovo
has
a
pending
legislation
as
to
lowering
the
age
to
16
and
17
year
olds.
It
has
not
been
adopted.
Neither
has
the
north
hampton
matter
that
he
he
referred
to
so
under
the
home
rule
amendment
age
to
vote.
So
let's
just
be
real.
The
commonwealth
manages
who
can
vote
and
who
can't
vote
not
locally.
So
that's
why
it
hasn't
changed
in
massachusetts
and
one
particular
exclusion
is
that
our
whole
amendment
cannot
change
who
can
vote.

The
charter
is
reviewed
every
10
years
and
it
doesn't
even
have
to
be
changed,
but
to
change
the
charter.
Our
own
charter
has
mechanisms
within
it
to
change
it.
Where
you
get
so
many
residents
or
the
city
council
votes,
we
go
to
the
elect
the
registered
voters,
so
we
have
different
processes
to
change
our
charter.
This
is
a
requirement
that
we
at
least
review
it,
because
if
we
don't
get
petitions
to
change,
we
should
at
least
as
a
city
be
reviewing
it.
A
That
make
sense
everybody,
it
makes
sense.
Okay,
anyone
else
have
any
comments,
emotions
they
want
to
share
great.
So
thank
you
manuel
for
for
your
public
speaking
portion
and
for
sharing
this.
I
look
forward
to
hearing
more
from
all
of
you
in
our
next
session
and
and
just
for
clarification
purposes.
A
It's
you
know
what
we're
reviewing
every
single
section
every
other
meeting
and
we're
compiling
all
the
suggestions
for
the
end
and
once
the
end
of
the
entire
ten
sections
comes,
then
we
will
go
ahead
and
reach
consensus.
As
so
now
we
have
another
public
speaking
portion
communication
that
was
sent
to
us
because
clearly,
due
to
covet
this
president
was
not
able
to
make
it.
You
all
should
have
a
copy
in
front
of
you,
and
this
is
from
vigan
santos.
I
will
begin
reading
good
evening.
My
name
is
vidal
santos.
A
I
reside
at
12
grove
street
and
I
recently
moved
to
the
city
of
chelsea
from
south
carolina.
I
was
curious
about
something
in
local
government
here.
That
seems
a
little
strange
to
me.
Chelsea's
local
government
is
operated
by
a
city
council
with
a
city
manager
but
put
into
place
by
them,
as
opposed
to
a
mayor
that
is
voted
in
by
residents
of
the
community.
A
It
seemed
weird
that
a
community,
admittedly
not
large
in
geographical
size,
but
very
densely
populated
populated
and
with
industry,
public
transit,
etc,
would
use
a
system
like
that
in
opposition
to
a
mayor
who
is
elected
for
the
people
by
the
people.
So
upon
further
examination,
it
appears
that
the
city
manager
system
is
not
super
uncommon,
but
it
becomes
much
less
common.
When
you
look
at
the
larger
cities
in
america
being
that
chelsea
is
directly
next
to
boston
and
has
a
public
transit
system
that
serves
it
even
with
the
small
geographical
size.
A
One
could
consider
chelsea
a
city
well
in
need
of
a
strong
leadership.
Doing
some
research
about
chelsea.
The
mayor
was
done
away
in
the
1990s
and
has
been
replaced
with
the
city
manager
system,
since
that
made
sense
at
the
time
when
there
was
a
rampant
corruption
among
the
elected
officials
in
a
financial
crisis
occurring
within
the
city,
there
was
a
corruption
abound
from
a
local
to
state
level
government,
but
one
would
hope
that
things
have
improved
among
the
local
government.
A
It
also
seems
that
having
a
strong
major
brings
about
economic
growth
and
the
right
circumstances
for
our
community,
something
chosen
would
definitely
need,
especially
in
the
midst
of
the
coronavirus
pandemic,
with
the
service
hospitality
sectors
taking
such
hits.
So
many
people
could
use
some
form
of
economic
stimulus
to
give
them
a
better
chance
of
survival.
A
The
current
federal
situation
with
coronavirus,
especially
encouraged
states,
would
then
encourage
local
governments
to
step
up
and
take
control
of
the
situation,
the
strong
figure
that
could
guide
the
community,
like
charlie
baker
here
or
andrew
cuomo,
in
new
york,
but
on
a
local
level
that
makes
this
residents
feel
safe
and
in
good
hands.
Many
of
chelsea's
residents
were
left
out
to
dry
regarding
the
stimulus
fund
and
even
unemployment
they've
been
forced
to
continue
working
when
possible,
getting
sick
and
spreading
it
to
their
families
in
congested
homes.
A
But
from
what
I
understand,
the
city
manager
takes
on
much
of
the
duties
of
a
mayor,
but
the
goal
is
to
have
the
city
manager
not
be
embedded
in
politics
just
in
practical
management
in
our
modern
society,
it
is
no
longer
possible
for
a
city
manager
or
really
any
official
to
not
have
some
sense
of
politics
within
their
policies.
They
lay
for
it's
unreasonable
to
pretend
otherwise
being
that
a
city
manager,
even
one
appointed
by
a
council
that
is
voted
in
by
residents,
cannot
just
be
apolitical.
A
It
would
make
sense
that
residents
should
have
an
alternative
to
this
system.
I
will
not
pretend
to
know
how
the
transition
could
be
made
and
that's
why
I'm
writing
this.
I
would
like
to
understand
further
how
we
could
go
forth
into
having
one
if
the
proper
hoops
were
to
be
jumped
through
the
proper
paperwork
signed.
A
Is
it
even?
Is
it
even
a
possibility
that
the
city
of
chelsea
could
have
a
mayor
the
current
situation
with
covet,
even
as
things
improve
regarding
cases
statewide
wrecked
havoc
on
chelsea's
economy
and
society?
It
may
only
get
worse
if
something
drastic
is
not
done.
I
do
not
know
what
the
solution
is.
I
do,
however,
fear
that,
without
a
powerful
force
of
change
to
save
this
community,
there
can
be
no
hope
signed
to
you
by
viran
santos
from
12th
grove
street.
So
that's
part
of
the
public
speaking
portion.
A
A
B
A
Personally
have
to
say,
as
a
city
councilwoman
I've
been
here
for
what
I
got
elected
for
my
third
term,
and
I
started
right
when
tomorrow
started
and
our
current
city
manager
has
been
nothing
but
amazing.
You
know
the
community
loves
him.
You
know,
of
course,
we're
always
gonna
have
one
person
or
another
person
who
may
disagree,
but
but
as
as
leo
just
mentioned,
he
brings
a
different
type
of
leadership
and,
yes,
his
job
is
to
handle
the
day
and
day
operations
of
the
city.
A
A
He's
been
very
focused
on
tapping
into
that
money
that
we've
had
and,
of
course
this
is
pre-coveted
to
really
invest
and
improve
our
streets
and
improve
our
quality
of
life,
and
that
speaks
volumes
of
the
sort
of
city
manager
that
we
have.
You
know,
if
you
were
to
ask
me,
would
you
change
them?
I'd
say:
no.
Can
we
keep
them
longer,
but
but.
A
Have
to
explain
that
the
city
manager
is
hired
by
by
contract
and
the
city
council
makes
that
decision
and
city
councillors
are
elected
by
the
people.
So
we
we're
elected
by
the
people
to
to
be
able
to
to
hire
someone
that
we
believe
is
competent
and
it's
usually
done
through
a
very
rigorous
process.
A
Selecting
a
special
committee
composed
of
city
council-
and
I
know
that
in
the
past
we
also
have
a
special
task
force
of
community
members
that
were
part
of
that
process
as
well
to
hire
and
interview
the
city
managers
and
that's
usually
done
in
a
very
open
forum,
and
we
take
the
feedback
of
the
community
at
all
times
and
and
key
stakeholders.
So
I
do
want
to
clarify
that
again.
I
am
not.
I
do
not
want
to
influence
any
resident
to
not
state
their
opinions.
B
So
by
the
time
you
got
into
your
first
first
year,
you
were
running
for
re-election,
so
you
know,
if
you,
you
can't
really
do
much
in
your
first
year,
just
kind
of
find
your
way
around.
So
it's
a
two-year
term,
and
then
you
always
have
people
on
the
council
who
want
to
step
up
and
be
the
mayor.
So
you
know
two
years
wasn't
enough
time
to
put
anything
in
place
for
anybody.
F
Three
years,
no,
the
actual
current
one
is
five
years
under
the
charter.
It
requires
at
least
two.
If
you
read
the
charter,
it
says
it
should
be
at
least
two,
but
the
current
one.
I
believe
he
has
four
more
years
left
on
his
current
great.
So
in
massachusetts,
there
are
only
five
forms
of
government,
five
or
six
forms
of
government
under
the
state
laws
and
a
lot
of
cities
and
towns,
especially
towns,
are
going
to
a
professionally
managed
town
manager
or
city
manager.
F
Some
of
our
larger
cities
are
run
by
managers
such
as
cambridge
and
worcester.
The
powers
are
different.
The
city
manager
in
chelsea
has
a
little
bit
more
power
than
the
one
in
cambridge,
because
I've
worked
for
cambridge.
The
mayoral
terms
have
changed
like
leo
just
mentioned.
Everett
just
went
from
two
years
to
four
years.
The
turnover
is
too
much
and
staff
mayors
respond
to
constituents.
F
City
managers
respond
to
all
that
tends
to
be
why
some
people
like
a
city
manager
and
not
just
those
who
voted
for
the
individual
and
the
city
manager,
tends
to
be
a
professional
who
knows
municipal
finance,
economic
development,
health
and
human
services.
It's
just
it's:
the
city
manager
is
directed
by
those
people
we
elect
in.
That's
why
we
have
11
counselors.
F
F
It
wasn't
just
corruption,
there
was
no
money.
Hence
why
the
corruption,
so
it
wasn't
just
corruption
at
the
mayoral
level,
but
it
was
through
our
government
and
the
city
manager
is
in
charge
of
our
finances.
So
we've
had
a
lot
of
issues,
we're
still
digging
ourselves
out
of
that
time
period
and
we
will
always
be
digging
ourselves
out
financially,
at
least
for
the
near
future,
paying
back
the
pension
system,
so
the
form
of
government
can
be
changed
in
this
process.
That's
the
question:
this
is
where
you
do
it.
F
F
We
have
local
boards
who
made
decisions.
For
example,
we
don't
have
city
councilors
sitting
on
a
couple
of
our
local
boards,
for
a
simple
reason
is
that,
were
they
making
decisions
based
on
their
voters
and
not
based
on
the
city?
So
that's
why
our
former
government
is
the
way
it
is
because
it's
representative-
and
it
helps
all
of
us
not
just
those
who
voted
for
that
person.
F
F
A
Okay,
so
then
just
just
request
clarification.
I
see
mary
I'll
go
right
to
you
after
so
just
for
clarification
purposes.
It's
we
make
the
suggestion.
Thank
you.
That's
what
I
needed.
Sorry
mary!
I
couldn't
see
you
all
this
time,
because
I
was
being
blocked
by
myself
anyway.
That
makes
it
so
just
for
clarification
purposes.
It's
this
committee
can
make
the
suggestion
we
send
it
to
council.
If
council
approves
it,
it
goes
to
the
commonwealth,
and
then
it
goes
to
a
ballot
right.
I'm
asking
cheryl!
A
A
I
Thank
you,
so
I'm
just
gonna
echo
everything
that
charles
said
in
terms
of,
and
and
also
what
leo
said
in
terms
of
you
know,
the
mayor,
the
you
know
the
mayor
of
the
city
chi,
the
city
manager.
It
is
from
somebody
having
lived
through
the
years
of
having
millions
every
two
years.
It
it's
an
inefficient
way
to
run
government.
I
I
You
know,
and
I
would
say
we
we
need
to
take
a
look
at
where
we
have
been
over
the
last
since
1994
93.
You
know
we
have
gone
through
a
renaissance
in
chelsea
we
have
developed.
We
got
to
the
point
where
I
think
leo.
You
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
somewhere
in
the
last
12
months
we
had
33
million
in
the
rainy
day
fund
and
that
33
million
actually
is
helping
to
carry
us
through
the
coven
19
to
provide
food
for
everyone
to
provide
assistance.
I
I
Statewide
with
all
school
districts
and
communities
throughout
the
state
and
we've
been
working
round
the
clock
on
the
pandemics,
supporting
superintendents
and
sit
in
in
cities
and
talking
with
the
mayors,
we
have
done
a
phenomenal
job
and-
and
I
I
just
think-
because
we're
in
chelsea
sometimes-
and
we
don't
see
ourselves
compared
to
others-
we
don't
see
the
external
that
we
really
think
and
see
what
we
could
do.
And,
yes,
we
can
do
a
lot
better.
But
when
you
do
compare
us
to
others,
we
are
actually
way
ahead.
B
A
I
C
As
of
mary
and
leo
I've
been
around
for
a
long
time
too,
and
I've
seen
the
changes
that
were
made
after
we
went
into
getting
a
city
manager
from
a
maya.
I
was
around
when
all
that
corruption
was
going
on
and
the
ones
that
washed
out
were
the
students
in
the
city
of
chelsea,
because
the
funding
wasn't
being
funded
right
in
the
city
of
chelsea.
C
If
you
go
back
to
a
mayor,
we're
going
backwards
instead
of
forward
in
the
city
of
chelsea,
we
have
to
move
forward
and
be
be
positive
and
know
that
the
city
manager
is
here
and
he's
going
to
do
what
he's
supposed
to
do,
and
you
can
take
the
current
city
manager
and
the
passing
man
just
what
they've
done
for
the
city
of
chelsea
and
how
far
we've
gone
and
having
the
city
manager
rather
than
mayor.
So
I
think,
moving
forward.
We
should
you
know,
stick
with
the
city
manager
and
not
go
backwards.
A
M
M
Obviously
we
have
those
groups
that
talk
to
the
potential
city
managers,
whether
it's
the
non-profit
organizations,
the
city
state
holders
on
the
community
at
large,
and
we
give
that
person
somewhat.
What
we're
looking
for?
You
don't
have
that
opportunity
with
a
mayor
mayor.
They
get
elected
by
the
people
for
the
people
when
they
get
in.
They
run
it
the
way
they
want
to
run
it.
M
It
could
be
a
good
thing
and
a
bad
thing,
but
I
just
again
I'll
end
there,
but
I
would
like
to
say
that
every
two
years
we
have
the
opportunity
to
put
on
a
ballot
a
non-bonding
question
to
the
people
of
our
senate,
of
our
district
here
in
chelsea,
and
we
could
just
ask
the
public.
Should
the
city
of
chelsea
consider
going
back
to
the
mayor?
If
you
have
because
it's
a
non-binding
question,
you
would
actually
get
just
an
opinionary
of
what's
going
on
what
the
people
feel
so
anytime.
M
A
G
We
are
a
community
of
color.
We
are
a
community
that
is
undercounted.
We
have
a
community
that
is
in
majority
immigrant
community,
that
we
don't
have
all
the
services
that
it
needs
to
be
counted
on
the
on
the
reigning
front.
So
I
just
want
to
make
that
aware
that
awareness
and
that,
thanks
to
you,
know
the
city
council,
that
we
have
the
current
city
manager,
we
have
been
able
to
survive
this
current
pandemic.
But
I
just
wanted
to
respectfully
give
my
comment
about
what
I
feel.
A
A
A
L
L
L
I
think,
for
all
the
reasons
people
have
already
discussed,
but
I
I
would,
I
would
suggest
that
their
we
add
some
sort
of
mechanism
to
the
city
council
would
have
the
power
to
rein
in
certain
policies
that
the
the
city
manager
you
know
might
want
to
be
implementing
which
the
city
council
disagrees
with
that.
That
hasn't
really
come
up.
I
think
too
often
leo.
L
You
know
you
might
comment
on
that,
but
you
know
as
far
as
the
future
goes,
we
don't
know
who's
going
to
be
city
manager
next
and
and
the
way
that
the
way
that
the
powers
are.
You
know
that
the
council
could
you
know
with
a
vote.
You
know
reign
in
the
city
manager
when
he's
doing
something
against
the
will
of
the
city
council.
That's
that's
my
only
because
the
city,
the
city
manager,
is
not
elected
and
that's
that's.
L
A
H
L
So
so
I'm
not
thinking
of
anything
in
particular,
I
I
just
know
that
the
way
that
the
powers
are
set
up-
I'm
not
thinking
of
this
in
in
any
kind
of
political
terms,
at
all,
only
in
kind
of
structural
terms,
of
balancing
the
power
in
the
city
and
so
right
now
the
the
city
manager
holds
that
power,
and
it
was
done
that
way.
Purposefully.
L
You
know
when
that
when
it
was
set
up
to
avoid
you
know
the
corruption
of
the
you
know
that
was
going
on
at
the
time.
So
my
only
thought
is
is
that
I
think
that
since
since
chelsea
has
come
a
long
way
and
we
put
a
lot
of
those
things
to
bed
and
we're
in
a
different
situation
now
than
we
were
before,
it
seems
to
me
that
a
city
manager
has
lots
of
power
to
do
things,
and
even
if
the
city
council
says
hey,
we
don't
like
this.
L
You
know
they
still
have
the
power
to
do
that,
because
the
city
council
cannot
interfere
in
the
administration
of
of
the
operations
of
the
city.
So
my
only
my
only
thought
about
this
is
that
just
like
in
our
federal
government,
you
know
the
president
has
a
veto,
for
instance
over
the
congress,
but
then
there's
still
a
mechanism
for
the
congress
to
override
the
veto.
L
This
has
nothing
to
do
with
anything
political.
It
has
to
do
with
trying
to
balance
responsibilities
of
governance,
and
that's,
I
think,
what's
real
important.
I
don't
think
we're
in
the
same
situation
that
we
were
in
you
know
over
20
years
ago,
so
I
mean
I've
been
in
chelsea
that
long,
you
know
I've.
L
I
haven't
seen
as
much
as
you
know,
rosemary
or
or
leo
or
married,
but
but
you
know
I
came
in
with
j
ash.
Basically,
so
I've
seen
I've
seen
how
it
works
and-
and
you
know
those
are
my
only
thoughts,
and
so
I
don't
think
it's
the
end
of
the
world.
If,
if
this
committee
doesn't
do
that,
but
it's
a
suggestion
for
balancing
out
the
power
that
that
that
I'm
I'm
making
a
suggestion.
A
I
So
so
what
I'm
hearing
is
is
a
couple
of
things.
First
of
all,
yes,
you
do
not
want
the
city
council
getting
involved
in
the
day-to-day
operations
of
running
a
city
just
like
in
rosemary
and
henry.
You
can
attest
to
this
that
as
a
school
committee
member.
How
many
times
have
I
said
to
the
school
committee
members.
Their
job
is
not
to
get
involved
in
the
day-to-day
operations
of
war
of
running
the
school
system
when,
when
people
start
getting
into
those
day-to-day
pieces,
that's
when
chaos
takes
place
right.
I
You,
you
hire
your
city
manager
to
be
the
ceo
of
your
city,
and
so
you
know
so
when
you're
talking
about,
then
you
know
if
there
are
policies
that
you
want
to
take
a
look
at
that
the
city
manager
might
put
into
place
that
you
might
want.
You
know
some
authority
to
look
at
again.
You
already
have
that,
because
it
is
policy.
The
city
council
has
to
vote
on
policy,
so
you
have
that
already
in
your
governance
structure
that
my
third
point,
too,
would
be.
I
If,
if
when,
if
you
can't
name
an
incident
or
an
example,
then
I
would
contend
that
it's
working
that
it's
okay,
if
there
is
a
balance
and
a
checks
and
balance
system
in
there
and
ultimately
you
as
the
city
councilors,
do
have
that
checks
and
balance
because
you
employ
the
city
manager.
You
evaluate
the
city
manager,
you
know
so
that
becomes
what
becomes
the
response,
the
accountability
and
the
responsibility
in
in
this
governance
structure
and
and
honestly,
I
think
it's
been
working
so.
J
L
I
I
just
I
you
know.
My
only
comment
to
mary's
comments
is
that
you
know
that
that
may
be
so.
It
just
seems
like
the
only
the
only
way
you
know
you
can
say
that
it's
been
working
and
maybe
it
has
heretofore,
but
we've
only
really
had
we've
had
three
city
managers
and
really
two
for
any
any
duration.
L
L
People
can
have
some
recourse
in
order
to
stop
it
rather
than
no
recourse
at
all,
and
so
you
know,
maybe
it's
maybe
it's
not
a
you
know,
I'm
I'm
throwing
it
out
there
for
discussion,
and
so
so
that's
it.
You
know
I
think
we've
been
lucky,
I
mean
I.
I
could
see
that
I
could
see
us
hiring
a
a
city
manager
that
wants
to
do
all
kinds
of
different
things,
so
that
that's
that's
that's
my
only
comment.
L
J
And
I
guess
I'm
supporting
todd's
thoughts,
I'm
not
opposed
to
it.
I
just
think
it's
a
matter
of
what
type
of
language
do
you
create
that
doesn't
make
it
seem
like
then,
the
city
council
is
becoming
the
city
manager
and
if
there's
just
language,
that
is
a
mechanism
I
get
it,
but
it
is
probably
more
difficult
to
come
up
with
the
language
that
still
gives
the
manager
all
the
power
they
need
to
do
theirs,
and
just
this
we'll
use
veto,
but
it
sounds
aggressive,
but.
F
So
I
actually
have
a
couple
of
comments,
so
the
city
manager
is
not
as
powerful
as
the
council
allows
him
to
be.
The
council
makes
zoning
decisions.
The
council
adopts
the
rules
and
laws
and
the
ordinances
that
we
live
day
by
day
in
chelsea
all
of
the
programming
and
policies
that
the
city
manager
has
to
put
forth
costs
money.
That's
the
city
council
who
makes
that
decision.
We
can't
sell
or
buy
property
without
the
city
council.
We
can't
give
away
the
farm
without
the
city
council.
F
So
personally,
not
only
that,
but
the
traffic
and
parking
and
the
licensing
and
and
certain
boards
and
commissions
we
have
our
residents
making
decisions
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
So
I
disagree
that
our
city
manager
is
all
so
powerful,
but
the
biggest
piece
of
paper
that
the
city
councilors
have
and
they've
got
to
be
able
to
do
this-
that
if
this
person
is
not
putting
forth
your
policies,
you
have
to
terminate
them,
you
have
to
evaluate
them,
you
don't
give
them
a
raise.
F
This
is
a
tough
job
he's
not
going
to
be
making
50
000
a
year,
24
7
after
a
coven
situation.
So
I'm
just
saying
is
that
use
the
tools
we
have
before
we
turn
around
and
change
them
in
cambridge.
The
city
council
has
a
little
bit
more
power
than
the
zoning
board
pretty
much
they
I
mean
they.
They
tend
to
be
able
to
control
a
little
bit
more
than
what
the
city
manager
has
not
too
much
the
state
laws.
F
You
can't
do
certain
things
under
the
law
without
you,
so
I
just
feel
like
if
we
have
and
I'm
not
saying
if
it's
not
broke,
don't
fix
it,
because
I
can
see
a
runaway
city
manager
also
as
the
city
solicitor.
I
have
two
different
parties
to
respond
to
two
different
arms
of
the
government
and
I
feel
like
there's
tools
to
be
used.
I
feel
like
if
you
hire
someone
just
like
the
school
committee
that
dr
booker
said.
There
are
policies
in
place.
F
F
A
M
General
go
before
me
see,
I
always
take
my
point
but
sean's
correct
and
we
have
those
parties
and
I
think
what
todd
is
trying
to
say
a
lot
of
folks
get
this
idea
in
his
perception
of
city
councillors
and
they
think
we're
the
boston
city,
council
or
chamber
city
council,
and
the
only
thing
that
we
have
in
conjunction
with
them
is
the
title.
Those
guys
and
women
are
full-time.
They
actually
sit
there.
That's
a
full-time
job,
they're
just
there
to
get
to
know
everything
that
the
mayor
is
thinking
or
doing
or
requesting
or
acting.
M
We
we
get
an
annual
evaluation
every
year
we
ask
the
city
manager
meet
expectations,
see
how
he's
going
to
her
and
we
evaluate
them.
We
give
them
raises
on
them
if
they
succeed
expectations
but
we're
making
here
at
the
city
council.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
time.
We
don't
have
that
day-to-day
operation
that
we
can
actually
say.
You
know
what
we
hear
about
this
land
being
talked
about
on
marginal
speech.
Yes,
I'm
not
sure
I
speak
for
myself
and
I've
been
there
a
long
time.
I've
never
had.
M
I
heard
a
city
council
members
say
to
me
calvin.
I
want
to
go
down
they're
going
to
have
this
meeting
about
this
accuracy
of
this
land
and
we
need
to
be
involved
and
eventually
make
decisions
and
votes
on
it,
but
the
time
is
put
in
it.
The
time
is
put
forward.
That's
the
power
of
the
city
manager,
that's
the
power
of
the
city
solicitor.
M
They
work
together
to
bring
that
package
together.
For
us,
we
look
at
the
final
project,
the
final
package
and
we
either
say
yes
or
no.
We
obviously
I'm
taking
concern
concerns
of
our
residents
and
our
constituents,
but
the
duties
of
the
city
council
is
to
be
informed
by
the
city
manager,
the
last
street
city
manager.
I've
worked
for
the
last
two
have
been
very
good
at
it.
M
Obviously,
tom
ambergino
has
been
a
lot
open
about
what's
going
on
and
gave
the
city
council
city
council
a
lot
of
input
on
it,
so
I
think
the
power
of
the
city
manager
and
the
understanding
of
the
elected
officials
is
to
work
together
and
evaluate
also
what
he
or
she
would
do
and
make
sure
that
they
try
to
fulfill
the
fulfillment
of
the
city.
If
we
look
around
leo
said
it
earlier.
First
guy
came
in,
he
was
a
banker,
mr
senegai.
He
did
a
lot
of
stuff.
M
He
put
a
lot
of
pieces
in
motion.
We
got
some
readings
with
our
money,
how
to
organize
it,
how
to
save
it,
how
to
hold
on
to
it
next
big
job
was
to
come
in
and
now.
Okay,
we
got
this
big
small
little
city
1.8
square
mile,
but
we
don't
have
anything
in
it
to
develop
it
to
work
with
it.
We
had
our
former
city
manager
to
do
all
this,
the
city
council.
They
took
some
tough
votes,
some
of
them
with
eminent
domain.
M
You
know
some
junkyards,
which
are
now
hotels
and
schools
and
areas
like
that,
but
I
think
we
work
good
together.
Unless
you
know
the
council
can
really
say
a
specific,
you
know.
Does
the
city
council
need
more
power?
If
we
need
more
power,
I
think
we
need
more
time
to
be
able
to
use
that
power.
I
honestly
and
I
think
most
city
council
members,
we
work
full-time
jobs,
we
come
on.
M
We
try
to
get
our
packages,
we
try
to
get
informed
and
we
try
to
do
the
best
we
can,
but
those
bigger
cities.
When
people
get
this
idea
about
city
council
members,
you
know,
even
when
you
look
on
television
you're,
looking
at
city
council
members,
that's
full-time,
they
make
95
000
dollars
a
year.
Boston
makes
105
000
a
year.
They
have
to
go
to
work,
that's
their
job
every
single
day
they
have
administrators,
they
have
workers
to
work
with.
M
M
Voting
on
board
members
voting
on
procedures
of
doing
downtown
beautification
we
vote
for
that.
He
brings
it
up,
we
vote
for
it.
We
vote
for
the
money
to
pay.
For
so
I
agree
with
the
councils.
I
know
you
know
we
feel
that
sometimes
we
don't
have
enough
power,
but
we
don't
have
enough
time
in
either.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
and
thanks
for
your
time.
A
D
Right
so
I
just
want
to
say:
one
thing
is
that
I
grew
up
in
a
little
city
called
lawrence
north
of
the
city
of
boston,
and
we
had
a
mayor.
There
was
a
mayor,
I
should
say
lawrence
who
did
the
opposite
of
what
made
what
city
manager
is
doing
right
now,
city
manager,
chino
is
doing,
and
I'm
not
going
to
say
the
mayor's
name
because
he's
no
longer
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
mars.
Thank
god
for
that.
D
But
at
the
same
time
we
inherit
mr
ambrosino
coming
from
revere
as
the
city
mayor
to
a
city
manager
and
with
that
experience
that
says
a
whole
bunch
of
great
things
for
chelsea.
So
I
think
that's
a
big
plus
for
us
to
have
mr
messino.
As
a
city
manager.
We
see
the
growth,
we
see
the
continued
prospects
of
what
we
had
from
mr
j
ash
and
from
the
mr
sandergate
and
the
previous
city
managers
to
the
growth
we
have
now
do.
D
D
My
opinion
is
if
it's
working
the
way
it's
been
working
and
also
growing
up
in
the
city
of
lawrence
and
noting
the
history
of
lawrence
corruption,
not
only
with
the
mayor
before,
but
the
mayor
of
previous
mayors
that
I
grew
up
in
knowing
how
the
mayors
were
working
in
march
as
a
young
person.
I
think
we're
good
and
that's
why
I
want
to
thank
you.
Okay,.
D
No,
I
believe
that
what
we
have
right
now
is
it's
good
to
have.
I
think,
having
a
city
manager
versus
the
mayor
is
a
great
thing
to
have,
but
I
also
think
that
it's
the
people's
choice
as
well.
I
think
the
people
has
the
right
to
choose
what
they
want
to
have
if
we're
going
to
put
it
on
the
ballot
to
vote
for
it,
then
I'm
all
for
that,
but
I
think
that
it
should
be
a
choice,
not
a
a.
D
D
A
Anyone
else
has
any
comments
again
we're
only
on
the
public
speaking
portion,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
to
the
reviewing
of
section
four:
are
we
good?
Can
we
move
on
great
so
section
four,
I
have
comments
received
from
mimi.
Everyone
should
have
a
copy
of
the
comments
received
from
mimi
and
her
suggestions.
Maybe
I
give
you
the
floor.
E
Go
ahead,
I
thought
we
should
change.
Thank
you.
I
thought
we
should
when
part
four
one.
I
thought
we
should
change
the
period
of
how
long
he's
in
from
two
years,
maybe
a
little
bit
longer,
and
I
guess
my
biggest
issue
is,
I
don't
think
he
has.
They
have
to
be
a
resident
of
the
city
which
I
know.
Okay,.
A
E
Okay,
so
those
were
one,
that's
those
were
in
section
4.1
in
section
4.3,
section
g,
I
just
didn't
know
if
he
should
have
to
do
that
on
a
daily
basis
and
if
he
should
be
the
only
and
then
in
section
l,
if
he
should
be
the
only
one
doing
the
collective
bargaining.
I
don't
know
if
we
wanted
the
council,
a
member
of
the
council
to
be
part
of
that
collective
bargaining.
E
That
was
just
a
question,
and
I
guess
the
last
one
that
I
had
was
in
section
4.8
as
how
I
think
the
charter
should
be
updated
and
how
the
information
is
disseminated
to
the
people,
not
just
through
a
newspaper.
I
think
that's
a
little
old-fashioned.
Maybe
we
should
mention
social
media
the
website,
something
along
those
lines.
A
E
A
Okay,
yeah
we're
in
2020.
I
hear
that
that's
great
and,
as
I
said
shout
out
to
all
the
folks
who
are
watching
facebook
live
and
being
so
active.
Sending
your
comments.
I
can't
read
them
right
now,
but
thanks
guys,
all
right
great.
So
that
being
said,
you
submitted
all
of
this.
You
said
you
had
questions
clarifying
questions.
Maybe
they
can
take
advantage
of
cheryl
and
see
if
she
can
answer
some
of
those
clarifying
questions
for
you.
F
F
And
the
collective
bargaining,
we
have
a
team
that
does
it.
Sometimes
we
have
outside
counsel.
That
does
it
when
it
says
approval
by
the
city
council.
It's
really
the
financial
aspect
of
the
collective
argument
agreement,
not
how
much
sick
time
they
get
and
not
how
much
the
benefits
are,
but
it's
really
the
cost
of
the
collective
bargaining
agreement,
which
could
be
just
it's
more
than
salaries.
F
It's
the
increase
in
certain
type
of
stipends.
It's
holiday
takes
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
so
they
do
review
it
and
under
the
law,
the
the
city
council
has
the
right
to
make
us
go
back
to
the
table.
If
they
don't
agree,
it's
sort
of
like
the
union
bargaining
team
has
to
go
back
to
the
general
body.
The
membership
in
order
to
get
that
approved.
F
I
don't
know
if
anybody
on
the
city
council
has
any
negotiation
skills,
but
I'm
not
quite
sure
the
union
would
appreciate
that
right
now.
I
I
don't
know
how
that
would
affect
bargaining
for
the
for
the
current
city,
hall
unions
and
public
safety
unions.
I
don't
see
anything
against
it,
but
I
could
look
into
it.
That's
just.
F
Go
back
to
the
city
council,
it
takes
it
outside
the
negotiation
sessions
and
that's
not
fair
to
the
union,
nor
to
the
bargaining
team
to
have
other
pressures.
So
that's
the
standard
way
of
how
you
negotiate
a
collective
bargaining
agreement
so
that
individual
from
the
councils
on
the
team
is
not
a
member
of
actually
the
council.
At
that
point,
you're
a
member
of
the
negotiating
team.
M
The
reason
why
the
reason
why
I
asked
that
question
I
just
want
the
other
people
to
understand.
That's
why
we
really
have
no
power
of
being
here,
because
again
we
may
come
back
and
leak
out
some
of
the
information
and
try
to
get
out
by
hand.
So
I
just
wanted
everyone
to
understand
it,
because
folks
really
don't
understand
why
just
city
council
just
can't
go
in
there,
even
if
they're,
not
negotiating
people.
I
So
cheryl's
right,
the
negotiation
team.
Everything
is
confidential,
it's
basically
in
in
ineffectively
it's
in
executive
session,
and
so
we
do,
however,
invite
the
school
committee
to
send
one
representative
to
be
on
the
team,
and
so
but
they
don't
report
back.
So
you
know
that's
that's
the
the
only
caveat
to
all
of
it
yeah.
So
I
mean,
if
that's
the
way,
we've
been
doing
it
for
years.
A
A
M
For
yourself,
yes,
just
on
the
residential
requirement,
I
mean
it
is
a
residential
requirement
in
the
charter,
but
also
underneath
here
is
that
the
city
council
can
give
a
waiver
and,
prior
to
the
last
two
cities,
city
managers.
Both
of
them
were
given
way
with
city
manager,
ash
and
downtown
san
bernardino.
M
A
I
I
I
think
the
reality
is
that
by
the
time
someone
gets
to
the
point
in
their
life
and
in
their
career
that
they
are
applying
to
be
a
city
manager
you're,
usually
in
your
upper
30s,
to
into
your
50s
right,
you're,
older,
you've,
you've
gone
up
through
the
systems,
you've
gone
to
college,
etc,
and
by
that
time,
they've
probably
already
settled
in
another
community
with
a
family
you'd
be
asking
them
to
move
their
kids
out
of
the
school
says.
It's
it's,
I
think,
would
limit
the
number
of
highly
qualified
candidates
in
the
future.
A
A
E
Yes,
I
saw
thank
you.
I
forgot
about
that
yeah.
I
think
it's
important
that
I
was
very
impressed.
Tom
did
learn
spanish,
I'm
I'm
terrible
at
languages,
so
I'm
always
impressed
when
somebody
can
speak
more
than
one
language,
so
I
can
barely
speak
english,
so
I
thought
it
was.
I
thought
that
was
a
nice
requirement
to
have,
because
the
city
is
what
66
or
68.
E
E
Those
two
men
have
shown
a
commitment
to
the
city
that
we
couldn't
gotten.
I
think
cities
tiny,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
be
able
to
speak
to
the
people
in
their
language
in
multiple
ways
and
that's
why
I
thought
maybe
it
should
be
a
requirement.
We
could
give
them
a
time
frame
if
you
want,
but
I
thought
being
bilingual
is
important.
B
D
Comments
on
this,
oh
yeah,
henry
yeah.
I
just
think
that
having
a
restriction
for
residents
only
for
jobs
here
in
the
city
of
chelsea,
it
can
hurt
us
and
it
has
hurt
us
in
many
ways.
I
think
that
with
the
fire
and
the
police
department
is
hurting
us,
because
we
have
people
already
living
here
in
the
city.
That's
one
thing:
I
think
that
you
have
a
lot
of
people
working
for
the
city
who
don't
live
here
in
the
city
and
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
their
funds
are
going
to
their
communities.
D
F
I
agree
as
a
resident
and
as
a
minority
we
need
someone
who
is
competent
and
able
to
recognize
that
we
live
in
a
city
with
many
cultures
and
languages,
but
to
stay
bilingual
and
not
to
say
bilingual
in
what
I
mean
is
it
does
can
discriminate.
Chelsea
alone's
practice
of
saying
bilingual
required
has
discriminated
against
the
black
population
in
chelsea
for
low-level
paying
jobs.
So
I
just
want
to
caution
us
on
that,
though
I
find
bilingual
is
helpful
to
do
your
job.
F
I
can
read
and
understand
spanish,
I'm
too
resident
to
speak
spanish,
but
I'm
just
trying
to
say
to
you
that
it
is
helpful
to
do
your
job.
So
if
it
is
something
that
we
want
to
say,
a
preference
that
we
have,
we
should
always
prefer
residents.
We
should
never
say
our
residents
can't
run
their
own
city.
I
think
we
should
always
have
preference
to
sensitivity
to
other
cultures,
even
if
they
are
bilingual.
F
It
could
be
another
language
like
portuguese
or
anything,
because
that
makes
someone
sensitive
to
other
cultures
and
able
to
communicate
with
others
in
our
community.
Just
want
to
be
careful
that
we
don't
rule
people
out
because
of
these
certain
requirements
and-
and
the
council
clearly
should
have
the
authority
to
waive
any
and
all
requirements.
F
A
A
Yeah
and
then
the
other
thing
is
we
we
give,
we
give
residency
waivers
left
and
right
so
anyway,
that
being
said,
we
have
30
minutes
left
and
jason
submitted
some
comments
and
suggestions.
I
will
quickly
read
them
out
loud.
Some
of
these
discussions.
We've
already
had
jason.
I
know
how
to
log
off.
You
had
an
emergency,
but
I
will
read
them
quickly
and
you
guys.
Let
me
know
if
there's
anything
you
want
to
comment
on
so
jason
submitted
a
suggestion
for
section
4.3.
A
The
sentence
should
have
or
requested
added
to
the
end
of
it,
so
we
can
read
to
ensure
that
that
complete
and
full
records
of
the
financial
and
administrative
activity
of
the
city
are
maintained
and
to
render
reports
to
city
council
as
may
be
required
or
requested.
So
it's
more
of
a
grammatical
change
that
he
wants
to
make.
The
other
change
is
section.
4.3
letter
o
suggests
changing
any
to
all.
A
So
we
can
read
as
follows
to
inquire
into
the
affairs
of
all
city,
department,
agency
or
office,
another
grammatical,
technical
change,
and
last
but
not
least,
is
he
requests
the
following
section
4.8
as
a
second
paragraph.
That
date
of
city
manager
review
must
be
made
on
the
internet
and
not
just
the
newspaper.
A
So
he
goes
back
to
that
point
of
being
able
to
promote
the
city
manager
review
on
the
internet,
not
only
using
the
archaic
ways
of
just
adding
it
to
the
newspaper
which
I
believe
was
also
brought
up
here
before
using
different
methods
of
communication
to
communicate
with
the
public.
Just
like
we're
doing
today
that
we're
in
the
middle
of
this
pandemic,
so
we
can't
be
together.
We
need
to
do
everything
virtually
any
discussions,
any
strong
disagreements,
emotions
go
ahead.
B
A
Ready
against
okay
good,
so
that
basically
concludes
our
discussion
of
section
four.
If,
for
some
reason
you
go
home
and
you
realize
you
feel
strongly
against
about
something
or
some
other
wonderful
idea
comes
up,
feel
free
to
write
it
down,
send
it
to
fatima
or
myself,
and
we
will
include
it
on
the
lingering
section
of
our
agenda
again,
I
want
to
highlight
that
there
are
no.
If
you
have
any
conversations
any
comments,
any
ideas
do
not
share
it
with
each
other.
It's
a
violation
of
the
open
meeting
law.
You
share
it
with
me.
A
You
share
it
with
fatima
and
we
will
make
sure
to
just
share
it
with
everyone,
including
the
public.
So
you
guys
cannot
have
these
discussions
on
your
own
you're
not
allowed
to
chat
you're
not
allowed
to
have
facebook
groups
you're
not
allowed
to
text
anything
that
is
not
in
front
of
the
public,
and
then
that
brings
me
to
another
point:
we're
on
section
4
right
now.
We're
expected
all
to
read
section
5
for
our
next
meeting
attendance
is
something
that
I
want
to
talk
about.
A
I
know
that
this
pandemic
is
very
difficult
and
it's
hard
to
hop
on
the
internet
sometimes
and
we
all
have
responsibilities,
but
the
conversations
are
just
gonna
get
juicier
and
funner
funny
fun.
Yeah,
they're
gonna
get
more
fun
as
we
go
on,
but
I
need
your
attendance
here.
So
this
is
just
an
overall
message
for
everyone.
Please
try
to
make
it
on
time.
A
Please
try
to
show
up
if
you
can't
make
it
send
us
an
email,
letting
us
know
that
you
will
not
be
in
attendance
because
your
participation
is
required
and
your
attendance
is
also
expected.
This
is
a
very
special
committee
that
was
created.
You
have
been
appointed
to
a
very
special
role,
we're
reviewing
the
most
important
legal
document
and
it
only
happens
every
10
years.
A
So,
if
you
can,
please
be
on
time,
show
up
be
in
attendance
and
if
you
can't
make
it
emergencies
do
happen,
do
let
me
know
because
there
are
folks
who
were
eager
to
be
a
part
of
this
committee
and
who
were
not
selected
and
I'm
sure
that
they'd
be
eager
to
join
so
again.
That
message
goes
just
to
everyone.
I
know
a
lot
of
you
have
been
participating
and
showing
up,
but
it's
just
a
general
message
to
make
it
on
time
we
meet
every
two
weeks.
