The
needs
exceed
the
city's
ability
to
address
them
completely
on
its
own.
So
as
a
body,
it
is
critical
that
we
collectively
to
advocate
for
state
and
federal
resources
to
carry
this
burden
with
us.
I
see
this
collective
city
council
action
as
a
natural
extension
of
its
recent
support
for
funding
and
programs
for
for
our
residents.
A
Many
of
our
residents,
renters
and
homeowners,
are
at
risk.
In
these
times,
the
city
council
can
play
a
role
in
helping
relieve
these
conditions.
This
past
term,
we
voted
rental
relief
funds
for
renters
and
mortgage
relief
funds
for
homeowners
relief
for
small
business
owners
and
food
relief
for
those
in
need.
A
A
Most
importantly,
the
these
times
have
exposed
the
systematic,
racial
and
economic
injustice
that
many
in
our
community
are
burdened
by
and
that
create
undue
obstacle
and
exposures
to
health
inequities,
income
and
employment
and
educational
advancement.
This
council
has
within
its
power
to
help
to
change
this.

Agreeably
agreeably
to
the
world
and
regulations
to
the
rules
and
regulations,
the
constitution
of
the
constitution,
the
laws
of
the
commonwealth
and
laws
of
the
commonwealth,
the
charter,
the
charter
and
the
ordinances
and
the
ordinances
of
the
city
of
chelsea
and
the
city
of
chelsea.
So
help
me.
God
thank.
D
I
know,
and
I
have
faith
that
we
will
continue
to
do
amazing
work
this
2021
year.
That
I
know
continues
to
carry
some
of
the
negative
externalities
of
of
this
covid
19
situation.
I
know
that
together
we
will
continue
to
do
amazing
work
and
we
will
continue
to
rise
like
a
phoenix
to
be
the
amazing
resilient
community
that
we
have
proven
for
so
long
that
we
can
be
so.

The
suspension
seem
no
objection.
That
motion
carries.
I
want
to
just
recognize
at
this
time
now
that
we've
gotten
all
the
parliamentary
procedures
out
of
place
in
in
past
right
now,
I
want
to
thank
the
esteemed
dignitaries
that
have
joined
us
tonight.
I
see
we
have
senator
sallie
dominical
who
has
joined
us.
I
noticed
that
we
also
have
our
state
representative
dan
ryan
and
also
our
newly
elected
janine,
not
just
jessica,
jessica,
jessica,
giannino
there.
She
is
up
there.
F
E
I
also
want
to
thank
the
council,
members
of
the
council,
members
of
the
school
committee
and
our
city
manager
and
our
superintendent
and
our
delegation
as
well
at
the
state
house,
because
we
are
a.
We
are
one
team
and
we
are
working
together
to
make
sure
chelsea
gets
the
best
they
can
from
all
points
from
the
city
level,
from
the
state
level
and
at
federal
level
as
well,
putting
pressure
on
them
to
bring
funding
to
our
communities
that
need
it
the
most
as
well.
E
And
if
we
splinter
as
a
community
and
if
we're
not
unified,
then
we're
not
able
to
do
great
things
and
chelsea
has
always
been
known
to
come
together
and
make
sure
that
we
get
what
we
deserve
as
a
community
and
I
always
say,
jesus
should
be
getting
more
than
their
fair
share,
because
we
need
more
than
that
fair
share
in
chelsea.
So
it
is
important
for
us
to
remember
that.
I
also
want
to
thank
our
health
care
workers.
E
Many
health
care
workers
living
in
the
city
of
chelsea,
many
of
our
home
care
workers
are
living
in
the
state
of
chelsea.
Our
soldiers,
home
workers
are
living
in
chelsea
and
our
first
responders,
who
are
on
the
front
lines
every
single
day,
not
only
fighting
fires
and
crime,
but
also
dealing
with
covet
and
and
the
dangers
that
go
with
that.
E
And
we
all
know
that
chelsea
and
I
said
to
the
state
house
all
the
time-
and
I
know
representative
ryan
and
president
vincent
and
now
representative
genino,
agree
with
me
that
chelsea
has
kept
our
economy
going
in
this
region.
Many
of
our
essential
workers
who
are
putting
themselves
at
risk
every
single
day
going
to
work,
riding
trains
and
buses
or
working
in
in
essential
jobs,
keeping
our
economy
going
so
many
others
can
stay
at
home
and
be
safe
with
their
families.
E
So
I
want
to
thank
the
many
many
workers
in
chelsea
who
are
putting
themselves
at
risk
every
day
to
make
sure
our
economy
keeps
going
and
supporting
their
own
families
and
the
community
based
organizations.
We
all
know
we
have
tremendous
communities,
organizations
in
chelsea
who
are
working
on
the
front
lines
as
well,
every
single
day,
making
sure
we're
feeding
our
people,
giving
them
rental
relief
and
small
business
relief
and
our
city
manager
and
the
city
council
submitting
millions
of
dollars
in
city
funds
to
also
put
that
at
the
forefront
and
aid
our
citizens.
E
So
chelsea
has
done
more
than
your
fair
share
during
this
pandemic
and
you
have
a
friend
and
me,
and
a
delegation
and
people
pushing
to
make
sure
chelsea
is
not
forgotten.
I
know
sometimes
people
forget
that
in
in
these
communities
that
they
feel
that
way
sometimes,
but
we
are
there
for
you
and
we
are
working
hard
for
you
and
a
bit
of
good
news.
The
fact
that
we
have
come
to
a
new
year
and
putting
2020
behind
us.
E
We
also
passed
today
environmental
justice
legislation,
so
ej
legislation
which
will
help
the
city
of
chelsea
that
pass
today
on
climate
change
bill.
So
that
is
a
big
big
win
for
the
city
of
chelsea.
Many
of
you
on
this
call,
and
many
of
our
organizations
in
chelsea
led
that
effort
to
make
sure
that
happened
in
the
state
that
will
benefit
not
just
chelsea,
but
so
many
other
communities
that
need
our
help.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
all
of
you.
Do
you
do
it?
E
G
G
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
president.
I
I
know
that
you
mentioned
the
state
delegation
that
was
here
I
just
want
to
mention.
I
see
some
department
heads
in
the
audience
too,
that
I
know
came
to
share
in
this
congratulatory
event.
I
see
our
public
works,
commissioner,
fidel
maltes,
our
emergency
management
director,
steve
staff
here
our
I.t
director,
no,
our
chief
information
officer
that
keeps
all
of
this
going
ramon,
garcia
and
our
housing
and
community
development
director
alex
train-
and
I
thank
them
all
for
being
here.
G
G
G
G
G
We
drained
an
enormous
amount
of
reserves
and
responding
to
this
pandemic,
it's
possible.
We
may
still
need
to
tap
into
more
reserves
before
this
is
fully
over,
but
once
we're
safely
through
this
ordeal,
we
will
need
a
renewed
effort
to
generate
economic
growth
and
re-establish
a
healthy
rainy
day
fund.
G
F
F
Second,
as
always,
I
want
to
thank
my
family
and
supporters
for
the
support
they
have
given
me
to
allow
me
to
be
up
here.
You
know.
In
the
last
week
I
had
struggled
a
little
bit
trying
to
think
of
what
I
would
be
saying
here
tonight,
given
that
it's
a
new
year,
I
actually
didn't
want
to
focus
any
more
on
the
topic
of
covert
19..
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
B
C
I
also
like
to
add
to
that
miss
castro
passed
away,
miss
castro.
Her
daughter
works
here
at
city
hall.
We
got
the
news
today
that
her
mom's
passed
away.
Also,
two
friends
were
good
friends
of
mine
that
passed
away.
They
were
husband
and
wife
harry
and
his
wife,
the
paclet.
They
lived
up
on
washington,
ave
they
passed
away
within
like
hours
of
each
other
from
covert
19,
and
also
I'd
like
to
wish
our
dear
friends,
president
of
the
cbc
joan
cromwell
and
beverly
martin
and
rochelle
cromwell.
They
lost
their
brother

Also
wish
them
out
much
wish
condolence
and
sympathy
in
the
loss
of
their
loved
ones
and
one
more
emily
diaz

used
to
be
the
former
captain
of
the
chelsea

She
had
moved
from
chelsea
to
worcester

33
years
old
