A
A
A
Council
calvin
brown-
I
see
him
there,
council,
naomi
zabit
president
ten
present
and
one
absent
okay.
The
call
of
the
meeting
is
the
following:
subject:
matter:
discuss
downtown
beautification
initiative
and
potential
long-term
funding,
so
at
this
time
I
will
turn
to
the
officials
invited
to
attend.
The
subcommittee
meeting
is
city
manager,
tom
embrosino,
who
is
president
honorable
members
of
the
city
council
dbw,
commissioner
fidel
maltes,
who
is
present
resident,
deborah
zabat
and
all
members
of
the
public.
C
Thank
you
council,
president
good
evening,
everyone
and
welcome
this
evening
to
this
exciting
meeting
that
I'm
sure
will
be
very
fruitful,
so
today's
subcommittee
is
essentially
to
just
showcase
the
incredible
work
of
our
residents,
some
who
are
present
here
today
in
person
and
I'm
referring
to
celeste
and
deborah,
as
well
as
some
members
who
are
also
present
virtually.
I
know
that
dave
is
joining
us
virtually
along
with
some
of
our
key
supporters
and
allies
fidel
and
dan
cortes,
who
have
helped
a
lot
with
this
program.
C
Just
to
give
a
little
bit
of
context
to
my
colleagues
early
last
year,
deborah
had
reached
out
to
me
she
is
a
resident
of
the
downtown
area
in
chelsea
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
conversations
with
this
council
and
tom
and
bracino's
administration
about
really
revitalizing
downtown
and
investing
a
lot
in
improving
our
sidewalks,
improving
the
infrastructure
in
downtown,
and
we've
made
great
strides
to
do
that.
We
have
made
monetary
strides
to
do
that.
We've
decided
to
really
improve
our
our
roadway
there
and
make
it
more
pedestrian
safe
for
our
residents.
C
So
many
of
you
guys
who
walk
our
streets
here
in
chelsea
have
probably
noticed
the
beautiful
flower
pods
that
are
everywhere
in
downtown,
and
that
was
done
entirely
through
the
creative
ideas,
volunteer,
work
and
approach
of
the
residents
who
are
here
today
joining
us
in
person
and
virtually
so
that
project
has
really
grown,
and
it's
grown
a
lot
with
the
support
of
fidel
our
our
commissioner
of
public
works
and
it's
also
grown
with
the
support
of
dan
cortes.
Who
is
also
joining
us
here
today
and
mimi
mimi
was
a
key
ally
as
well
there.
C
So
I
am
going
to
hand
off
the
floor
to
fidel
to
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
the
progress
showcase
and
highlight
what
they've
been
doing
and
and
essentially
what
the
long-term
vision
is
for
the
program
and
how
the
city
could
play
a
role
in
supporting
it
in
a
more
sustainable
manner.
Monetarily.
So
fidel
I'll
give
you
the
floor
and
for
any
of
my
colleagues
who
have
questions
after
feel
free
to
do
so
through
the
chair.
D
All
right
good
evening
counselors,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
I
know
that
hopefully
can
be
heard.
Okay,
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
matters
on
the
table
and-
and
I
can
see
that
maybe
this
year
it
might
not
be
the
most
ideal
financially
to
launch
a
new
initiative.
However,
the
the
goal
of
this
presentation
that
we're
putting
together
is
is
to
try
to
to
convince
you
otherwise,
so
the
as
commissioner
apollo
works,
litter
and
beautification
is,
is,
is
dear
and
and
close
to
my
heart.
D
Not
a
date
goes
by
in
my
position
when
I
I
don't
receive
a
a
text
message,
a
call
or
an
email
from
from
one
of
the
counselors
about
trash
or
litter
in
a
particular
area
of
chelsea.
I
know
that
councilor
lopez
has
reached
out
to
me
many
times
about
trash.
You
know
in
in
in
his
areas
as
as
has
councillor
cooper,
councillor,
sabbat
and
and
pretty
much
all
the
other
counselors.
So
so
what
we
we
wanted
to
to
to
throw
out
tonight
is
is
what
I
consider
a
a
new
initiative.
D
So
the
the
I
wanted
to
to
to
introduce
the
idea
up
front
right,
so
so
the
idea
and
it's
on
a
slide
three
of
the
proposal.
So
what
we
are
proposing
is
an
expansion
of
the
flower
project
and,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
map
and
read
on
the
text,
what
we
are
proposing
is
that
is
that
we
received
the
funding
for
from
this
council
to
hire
25
part-time
chelsea
residents.
D
So
so
obviously
chelsea
residents
in
residence
is
going
to
be
a
requirement
for
this
program,
and
and
these
residents
are
work
part-time
for
the
city,
so
they
will
not
be
able
to
be
offered
benefits
if
they
are
hired
as
a
part-time
basis
and
and
and
can
be,
can
be
released
at
any
time
and
the
these
these
residents
really
focus
on
on
on
on
for
four
things.
One
of
them
is,
is
beautification
programs
right.
D
So
so,
in
the
last
few
years
we
have
done
a
lot
of
plantings,
a
lot
of
flowers,
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
banners.
You
know
it
but
having
having
boots
on
the
ground
to
to
really
do
this
citywide
is
is
important.
The
what
we're
going
to
share
on
the
other
slides
is,
is
flower
plantings,
so
we
we
have
done
a
a
a
really
good
job
in
the
downtown
this
past
summer
and
and
really
focused
on
on
bringing
color
and
beauty
to
the
downtown.
D
D
Okay,
thank
you.
So
the
the
you
know
we
in
in
2020.
We
did
a
pilot
of
this
initiative,
so
it
it.
We
called
it
the
flower
project
and-
and
it
started
with
with
with
with
devra
celeste
and
a
few
other
residents
who
who
really
wanted
to
bring
bring
beauty
to
the
downtown,
particularly
in
in
in
the
time
of
covid.
So
we
sat
down
we
we
strategized
and
and
and
really
we,
we,
we
targeted
three
things.
D
D
These
residents
were
were
extremely
committed
to
the
program.
So,
as
you
can
see
in
the
pictures,
it
was
very
small.
We
we
had
basically
celeste
dan
lisa
sanegate
and
a
few
other
volunteers
on
the
bottom
picture.
You
can
see
one
of
the
planters
as
it
was
finished
in
in
in
dan
cortez's,
pickup
truck,
so
so
it
was
very
homemade
right
I
mean
I,
it
was
low
budget
and
the
idea
was
to
bring
color
and
and
beauty
to
the
downtown.
D
So
how
did
it
work
so
we
we
first
started
with
with
with
the
litter
control
right
that
was
first
the,
but
then
we
we
had
a
goal
of
of
bringing
flowers
to
the
downtown.
So
we
we
we
built
planters
and
you
saw
them
all
all
throughout
the
downtown.
The
the
actual
planters
were
were
made
in-house,
so
they
were
very
inexpensive
and
and
and
dbw
out
of
our
budget.
D
We,
we
purchased
all
of
the
flour,
the
the
actual
labor,
so
the
the
actual
work
was
completed
by
by
volunteers
and-
and
we
also
were
able
to
give
a
stipend
to
a
few
of
the
of
the
residents
who
were
involved
and
here's
more
pictures
you
know
of
of
the
efforts
in
the
downtown.
You
know
what
what
was
really
cool
and
and
really
interesting
was
was
was
the
engagement
of
of
of
the
residents
as
they
walked
by
right.
D
I
mean
it,
they
they
cheered
us
on,
they
engaged
you
know
in
in
the
plants
in
in
in
the
beauty
and
more
than
once,
residents
stopped
by
you
know
to
to
to
help
us
in
in
the
process.
I
think
that
that
that
the
efforts
that
that
were
were
performed
this
summer
and
were
accomplished
is
something
that
we
can
scale
up
and
and
we
can
bring
at
a
city-wide
level.
D
So
what
we
ended
up
doing
is
is,
is
we
installed?
47,
planters,
right
and,
and
the
focus
was
was
basically
the
the
downtown
area
so
from
city
hall
to
third
and
broadway.
We
we
we
created
relationships
with
the
businesses
and
and
established.
You
know
a
a
relationship
of
of
of
them.
Watering,
the
the
the
flowers,
for
example,
of
of
them
more
more
proactively,
being
engaged
in
in
in
efforts
in
their
storefront.
D
So
this
is
the
cost
right.
So
one
thing
that
I
I
do
want
to
point
out
is
that
the
the
the
majority
of
the
cost
is
going
to
go
back
to
to
chelsea
residents
right.
So
so
what
we
are
are
requesting
is
funding
to
hire
25
part-time
residents.
The
the
salary
would
be
15
an
hour
and
again
these
residents
would
it
would
be
an
open
application
process.
D
We
would
interview
them
and
we
would
bring
them
on
board
as
as
a
as
employees
of
of
the
city
of
chelsea
part-time,
so
so
the
the
the
I
believe
that
this
this
program
will
have
a
a
a
a
win-win
effect.
Again,
we
we
are
bringing
glc
employees
into
the
mix
we
we
are
reimbursing
them
for
for
their
work
and-
and
we
are
therefore
creating
champions
who
are
invested
in
in
making
the
city
look,
look,
look
as
clean
as
possible.
A
E
Yes,
thank
you,
mr.
I
would
just
like
to
speak
in
favor
of
this
project,
no
because
of
the
what
it
adds
to
the
downtown,
particularly
it
does.
As
fidel
already
stated,
it
brings
a
lot
of
beauty
and
light
and
color
engagement
in
the
community
in
the
downtown
area,
which
is
which
is
good
thing,
and
it
is
something
that
would
buy
jobs
for
chelsea
presidents,
which
is
another
good
thing
and
third,
beyond
the
downtown
area
vacation
it's
going
to
address
a
problem
that
is
really
city.
E
E
A
Well
before
I
wanted
to
just
state,
I
think,
before
we
do
anything,
you
know,
I
think
it
would
be
fair
just
to
recognize
devra
who's
here
tonight
provide
her
a
little
bit.
I
mean
I
know
she's
initiating
this
state
what
she
has
to
say
about
the
program
and
then
we'll
go
about
and
start
asking
questions
from
the
city
councilors.
F
It
was
a
success
story,
all
around
first,
a
resident
having
an
idea
and
coming
to
mimi
and
a
city
councillor
and
then
talking
to
fidel
and
having
this
fetal.
Basically
just
say:
yes,
let's
do
this
and
we'll
figure
it
out
being
able
to
utilize
resources
with
the
palettes
from
the
food
distribution
which
became
the
planters,
which
I
believe
grew
out
of
mimi
idea,
which
was
amazing
and
then
sort
of
just
putting
out
a
little
bit
on
facebook.
F
Looking
for
volunteers
and
finding
celeste
and
dave
and
being
able
to
do
this
every
week
we
did
it
july
7th
through
like
the
beginning
of
october,
and
the
work
that
we
did
really
it
felt
like
it
felt
so.
Community
based
celeste
was
out
many
days
a
week,
making
sure
the
planters
looked
good,
cleaning
up
talking
to
the
store
owners,
and
so
it
really
just
bro.
It
gave
a
sense
of
community.
When
we
didn't
have
community
it
felt
everybody
felt
very
like
we
were
very
separated
by
the
pandemic.
F
So
it
was
a
really
nice
way
to
get
people
together
in
a
very
safe
environment,
and
I
also
think
that
the
planters
and
the
picking
up
the
litter
doing
the
planters,
like
learning
about
plants,
learning
how
to
build
the
planters
reaching
out
to
residents
budgeting
project
management.
These
are
all
like
things
that
are
an
outgrowth
of
the
actual
program
and
I
think
the
biggest
thing,
probably
is
the
community
outreach.
It's
just
having
this
very
casual,
and
I
would
love
if
dan
can
talk
about
it.
F
Just
this
very
casual
way
to
reach
residents
in
casual
way
to
reach
store
owners
without
it
needing
to
be
an
issue
like
it's
sort
of
like
hey.
We
have
this
gift
to
give
to
you
and
establish
a
relationship
that
way
we
experienced
and
if
celeste
has
a
few
minutes
to
talk
as
well,
just
this
outpouring
from
the
residents
walking
by
of
like
thank
you
so
much
basically
for
doing
this
so
yeah.
I
do
hope
that
it's
supported,
and
if
there
are
any
questions
I
guess
we'll
answer
those
is
it.
B
B
B
You
know
so
in
saying
that
I'm
looking
forward
to
you
guys
being
just
excited
as
I
am
because,
even
though
there
was
a
monetary
value
to
it
by
fidel
later
on,
there
were
two
individuals
that
came
on
with
me
and
still
today,
they're
not
getting
anything
for
what
they
do,
but
they're
out
there
and
in
front
of
dunkin
donuts
is
clean
in
front
of
the
tedeschi
store
is
clean
front
of
the
dentist
is
clean.
We
got
a
new
sidewalk.
B
A
G
G
G
The
most
complaints
I
get
in
that
office
on
a
regular
basis
are
about
trash
in
the
parks
trash
in
the
streets
and
those
come
not
just
from
counselors
or
those
counselors
email
me
a
lot
about
that
issue,
but
they
come
from
regular
residence
and
I
don't
like
to
go
back
to
revere,
but
the
way
it
was
handled
in
revere,
and
it
wasn't
my
idea.
This
was
something
that
has
been
in
place
in
revere
since
the
1970s.
G
G
Now,
does
it
solve
every
trash
problem?
Of
course
not,
but
it
makes
a
real
difference
because
it
means
every
day
in
that
period
of
time
when
litter
is
at
its
worst.
You
have
boots
on
the
ground
and
you
saw
from
this
pilot
what
boots
on
the
ground
a
few
people
could
do
in
the
downtown.
The
idea
is,
we
would
hire
this
cadre
of
25
people
here,
probably
not
senior
citizens
because
frank
we
just
we
don't
have
that.
G
I
haven't
seen
even
our
senior
work
off
program
is,
has
such
little
involvement,
but
we
would
hire
chelsea
residents,
whether
they're,
seniors
or
young
people,
whoever
we
wished
chelsea
residents
committed
to
their
neighborhood,
who
would
work
for
this
temporary
period?
Typically,
you
always
pay
people
more
than
the
minimum
wage,
and
the
proposal
was
fifteen
dollars
an
hour.
He
had
to
stop
and
they
would
be
they
would
be
an
adjunct
to
the
dpw.
G
They
would
be
people
that
we
would
have
out
there
every
single
day
for
a
six
month
period,
and
I
really
think
it
would
make
a
difference
and
not
eliminate
but
substantially
reduce
the
complaints
we
get
in
the
city
about
trash.
So,
yes,
I'm
in
full
support
of
a
proposal
like
this.
We
had
preliminary
discussions
about
this.
You
know,
just
before
covert
was
starting,
obviously
once
covered
started.
We
had
to
you
know,
pull
away
from
that.
G
We
certainly
couldn't
fund
this
in
the
fy
21
budget,
but
it
is
something
that
both
fidel
and
I
are
interested
in
moving
forward
with.
It
may
be
something
that
I
think
about
funding
initially
through
free
cash,
if
and
when
we
get
free
cash
certified.
So,
yes,
I'm
a
full
and
enthusiastic
proponent
of
this
citywide
initiative.
A
D
D
Do
why
mind
just
just
yeah?
No,
no,
the
the
the
idea
is
is
is
to
do
a
city-wide
city-wide
program.
So
what
you
know
we
it
it's
gonna,
be
a
a
you
know,
a
a
work
in
progress,
but
on
slide
three
on
the
handouts.
You
know
we
we
took
a
stab
at
how
the
assignments
would
would
be
done
right
I
mean.
Obviously
we
we
would,
we
would
adjust.
D
H
D
Yeah,
absolutely
so
so
again,
the
the
the
the
the
main
focus
would
be
litter
controls,
so
so
picking
up
trash
right.
But
but
you
know
once
once
they're
done
with
with
picking
up
trash,
they
can
then
do
either
planting.
You
know
some
flowers,
you
know
making
sure
that
that
you
know
the
if
the
parts
are
clean,
for
example,
that
any
issues
are
recorded
so
they're,
basically
just
just
boots
on
the
ground
for
dbw
every
day.
H
I
Thank
you,
miss
brett.
Thank
you.
Can
you
quote
me?
Yes,
yeah.
Thank
you.
So
first
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
the
presentation.
I
know
that
the
city
council
has
already
invested
a
lot
of
money
into
the
beautification
of
not
only
downtown
chelsea,
but
also
the
surrounding
areas.
We've
done.
The
lighting
we've
done
not
only
the
lighting
for
screen
lighting
where
people
were
complaining,
but
we
also
put
decorative
lighting,
especially
downtown
we've
done
working
on
the
traffic
projects.
Here,
the
public,
art
and
public
displays
throughout
the
community.
We've
invested
a
lot
of
money.
I
I
have
a
problem
with
25
new
hires,
just
a
bit
for
the
city
right
now
to
undertake.
We
are
still
in
a
pandemic.
We
have,
and
we
still
continue
to
try
to
make
fun
resource
available
for
folks
who
struggling
for
rent
for
food
for
basic
necessities,
and
I
just
think
that
you
know
we
are
right.
Now
we
to
commit
to
15
or
25
or
even
five
new
higher
is
a
bit
more.
We
don't
know
where
we're
going
to
come
out
of
this
pandemic.
I
We
don't
know
when
we
don't
know
what
our
budget
is
going
to
be.
Like
once
we
come
out,
we
do
have
a
summer
youth
program,
and
I
heard
the
city
manager
talked
about.
I
mean
a
lot
of
this
would
be
around
the
summer
youth
program.
I
think
that's
something
that
we
can
incorporate
the
youth
that
we
already
look
to
hire
every
year
to
work
with
closely
with
dpw.
I
I
know
also
in
the
past
when
we've
talked
about
flower
face
and
problem
partying,
but
it
always
came
an
issue
about
maintaining
about
maintaining
how
we're
going
to
get
the
water
there
where
we're
going
to
get
the
water
from.
I
know
because
of
comments
regarding
stores
and
businesses,
but
being
in
the
light
of
this
pandemic
every
little
every
little
amount
of
money
spent
from
a
store
going
forward
is
a
certain
thing
unless
they
have
money.
Coming
back,
I
like
to
hear
more
about
the
project.
I
I'd
like
to
hear
more
about
incorporating
our
youth
into
the
project.
As,
like
I
stated
we
already
have
a
summer
program
where
we
look
to
higher
numbers
of
youth
and
a
lot
of
us
city
colleges
have
said
publicly
that
sometimes
you
just
don't
have
enough
to
do
so.
I
think
to
undertake
and
even
consider
to
undertake
right
now,
higher
15
or
20
or
25
employees,
whether
they're
part-time
or
not.
That's
a
lot.
That's
a
lot!
I
I'd
love
to
see
the
I
love
to
see
those
that's
right
now
actively
involved
with
this
organization
of
the
downtown
beautification,
just
somewhat
be
part
partnership
with
supervision
about
youth
and
also
our
dpw,
where
we
can
work
together
as
a
collaboration
and
for
just
to
go
out
and
put
up.
You
know
25
positions
part-time
for
the
city
to
undertake
on
here.
I
just
think
it's
too
much.
We
we
have,
you
know
committed
ourselves.
I
know
we're
biting
our
teeth.
I
J
J
The
main
question
I
have
is
this:
are
these
people
going
to
be
part-time
all
the
time
or
you're
going
to
rotate
and
change
people
each
year?
Are
the
same
people
going
to
do
the
same
job,
or
is
this
going
to
be
a
program
where
everybody
in
the
city
at
one
time
or
another,
can
contribute
and
go
in
instead
of
having
one
permanent
person?
Do
it
all
the
time
you
want
to
give
you
say,
chelsea
residents,
something?
J
J
That's
one
thing
I
would
like
to
see
not
put
the
same
people
year
after
year
after
year.
I
would
like
to
see
different
people,
since
you
want
to
help
the
community
and
the
chelsea
people
rotate
them.
You
never
know
which
person
might
need
a
door
in
a
particular
time
and
there
will
be
a
way
out
for
them
to
help
themselves.
J
J
The
next
thing
I
have
is
roka
does
the
same
thing
as
you're,
proposing
more
or
less
you're
saying
these
people
are
going
to
get
flowers
and
then
they're
going
to
clean
the
streets
so
they're
going
to
work
together
with
roka
to
clean,
oh,
is
it
going
to
be
they
do
it
and
roca?
Does
it
different
because
from
what
I
understand
roka
comes
to
you
too,
and
you
have
those
people
how
many
of
them
people
do
you
have
from
a
particular
time
to
another
for
them
to
work
under
you?
J
I
know
there's
at
least
20
25
over
there
right.
I
don't
know,
I
don't
know
how
many
you
have,
but
I'm
saying
so.
Are
these
people
going
to
work
in
conjunction
with
them?
Are
they
going
to
be
in
different
sections
or
they're
going
to
work
together
so
now,
instead
of
having
25?
If
they're
going
to
do
the
same
thing
as
roka?
Does
right
you're
going
to
have
twice
as
many
people
to
do
that?
That's
a
better
thing!
If
they're
going
to
work
together,
it's
a
better
thing.
J
You
said
a
tom,
mr
ambrosino
said
right.
Well,
the
cost
of
this
is
what
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year.
That's
what
it's
gonna
cost
us
right!
So,
okay,
so
it's
gonna
cost
us
three
hundred
thousand.
When
these
people
work
right
and
there's
a
question,
it's
money
is
important
to
us
because
right
now
things
are
tough,
I'm
not
against
giving
you
money.
I
just
want
to
know
all
the
facts
and
how
the
everything
operates
before
I
commit
myself
to
doing
something.
J
So
now
these
people
on
the
time
after
they
go
out
right
and
they
collect
unemployment.
I
know
on
the
19
hours
when
they're
not
entitled
to
city.
All
the
things
like
the
city
get:
they
don't
get
health
insurance.
They
don't
get.
None
of
that
stuff
right.
That's
not
included
in
that
package
right
because
under
20
hours
the
city's
not
required
to
do
so,
so
they
wouldn't
be
part
of
it
one
and
do
let's
say
you
said
the
three
four,
the
six
months
that
they
don't
work.
J
Are
they
going
to
be
able
to
go
to
unemployment
and
collect
from
this
because
they
are
working,
so
it
becomes
even
another
issue
now
the
time
that
they're,
not
there,
who
picks
up
the
city
picks
up
half
of
the
unemployment.
That's
how
it
works,
everybody.
You
know
the
city
puts
half
so,
in
other
words
the
city's
actually
on
to
this
thing
for
more
than
the
time,
because
after
that
time
they
can
go
out
and
collect
unemployment
right,
they'd
be
entitled
to
it.
Mr,
can
you
ask
mr
ambrosino?
If
that's
the
case.
G
G
My
experience
in
revere
was
that
in
all
my
years
there
I
think
that
happened
to
us
two
times
that
a
senior
went
and
sought
unemployment,
but
I'm
not
saying
it
can't
happen.
You
have
to
just
be
careful
and
ensure
that
as
you're
keeping
an
eye
on
how
many
weeks
they're
working
you're
not
triggering
that
unemployment
floor,
and
so
it's
something
you'd
have
to
keep
your
eye
on.
So,
yes,
it's
possible,
but
if
the
city
handles
it
correctly,
it
should
be
able
to
avoid
that
obligation.
J
J
G
Absolutely
I
want
to
be
clear:
this
is
not
a
downtown
initiative.
The
pilot
this
summer
was
limited
to
the
downtown,
but
the
idea
is
to
address
the
regular
and
persistent
complaints
about
trash.
We
would
have
this
group
spread
out
over
the
entire
city
and
equally
distributed
in
all
the
areas
so
that
we
have
individuals
with
boots
on
the
ground
in
every
neighborhood.
That
is
the
goal.
J
K
I
J
J
F
So
I
wrote
the
the
the
presentation,
so
if
there's
a
miscommunication
that
that's
on
me
this
summer,
we
because
of
fidel
just
looking
where
we
could
have
we
needed
additional
hands.
Obviously-
and
it
was
a
great
way
to
give-
you
know-
give
residents
more
income,
so
people
from
the
food
distribution
when
they
were
done
with
that
would
come
on
a
tuesday
to
help
plant
on
a
weekly
basis.
So
that
was
a
it
was
a
win-win
for
everybody.
F
F
The
program
that
we're
talking
about
for
next
year
is
open
to
anybody.
It's
not
going
to
be
any
specific
and
dan
cortes
is
on,
and
he
could
talk
a
little
bit.
Maybe
about
roca.
I
don't
I
don't
know
if
that's
the
appropriate
time
to
talk
about
it,
because
we
did
talk
with
them.
They
did
come
by
one
once
or
twice
to
help
us
with
the
cleanup.
So
I
just
want
to
clear
up
that,
as
you
said
in
the
beginning,
this
is
open
to
all
residents.
F
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
that
it's
open
to
all
residents
every
year
that
there's
no
kind
of
like
because
it
gives
people
not
only
income
but
you're
learning
a
new
skill
right
community
outreach
learning
about
horticulture
learning,
project
management-
all
of
these
things
are
great
and
yes,
it
should
be
open
to
whomever
year
after
year
after
year.
So
if
there
is
a
miscommunication,
that's
just
on
me
does
that
does
that
make
sense
so.
J
F
J
G
On
we've
got
we
just
want
to
just
clarify
one
thing,
though
I
mean
it's
possible
that
in
that
open
application
process,
some
of
these
chelsea
residents
who
worked
in
the
food
distribution
program
would
apply.
Some
of
those
workers
were
quite
good,
and
so
it's
possible
some
could
apply
and
we
might
hire
them,
but
this
is
not
geared
to
giving
it's
not
a
full
employment.
Parallel.
Okay,
let
me.
J
J
G
J
J
Only
concern
I
have
is
that
I
want
chelsea
residents
to
get
it
any
chelsea
resident.
I
don't
want
no
specific
person
to
get
that
job.
If
they're
going
to
get
it,
everybody
has
an
equal
chance
to
get
it.
That's
the
only
concern
I
had
it
by
this.
It
specifically
said
that
she
clarified
it
and
said
it's
not.
That
way.
You.
L
L
L
How
we're
over
six
billion
dollars
now
in
the
hole
for
this
fiscal
year?
As
of
your
last
report,
correct
me,
if
I'm
home,
but
how
are
we
going
to
add
on
another
300
000
in
spending
when
that
money
is
not
coming
from
anywhere,
I'm
already
having
a
six
and
a
half
million
dollar
shortfall
over
over
six
months.
G
G
G
You
know
I'm
hoping
that
our
subsidy
doesn't
have
to
be
anywhere
near
where
it
was
in
fiscal
year
21,
which
is
we
subsidize
that
budget
by
5
million
or
just
under
4.9
million?
So
it's
just
weighing
whether
this
makes
sense
or
not
given
the
economic
times,
one
idea
was:
try
it
for
one
year
with
one
time
money
with
free
cash.
So
I
do
anticipate
at
some
point.
In
the
next
month
month
and
a
half
we
are
going
to
get
free
cash.
G
Certified
for
fiscal
year
20
for
the
close
of
books
on
june
30th,
2020
for
fiscal
year
20.
and
depending
on
how
how
much
money
that
is,
we
might
want
to
say,
let's
try
this
program
for
a
year
and
see
if
it
works,
and
that
would
be
an
appropriation,
a
one-time
appropriation
from
free
cash,
not
including
this
in
the
fy
21
fi
22
budget.
So
it's
not
a
recurring
operating
expense.
G
It's
let's
try
this
for
a
year
given
these
are
temporary
employees,
we're
going
to
let
them
go
in
october
anyways
and
try
it
that
way.
I
haven't
yet
decided
whether
that's
an
approach
I
want
to
pursue,
because
I
don't
know
yet
how
much
free
cash
is
going
to
be
certified
if
it's
a
small
amount
that
probably
will
be
off
the
table.
But
if
it's
a
significant
amount,
then
that's
an
option.
We
could
pursue
a
one-time
free
cash
expenditure.
G
L
I
think
it's
it's
actually
very
important
to
keep
the
place
clean,
make
it
looking
nice
and
to
give
the
you
know
the
residents.
You
know
a
city
that
they
can
look
at
and
be
proud
of.
I
I'm
not
I'm
not
downing
the
program
at
all.
I
think
it's
a
worthy
thing,
but
we're
going
to
have
some
serious
financial
difficulties
here,
and
so
I
just
think
spending
an
additional
new
program
of
three
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
is,
is
that
is
not
the
right
time
to
try
something
out?
L
L
We
have
to
be
a
little
bit
more
careful
about
our
spending
when
our
revenues
are
are
really
dipping
and-
and
I
I
can
say,
yeah
we're
not
going
to
have
a
balanced
budget
because
we're
already
six
and
a
half
million
dollars
the
hole.
So
you
know
I
don't
I
don't
mean
to
be
down
on
on
any
of
this.
It's
just
you
know.
L
I
I
think
counselors
need
to
think
about
the
fiscal
realities
of
of
what
we're
able
to
do
and
what
we're
not
able
to
do,
and
I
think
that
when
we
go
to
the
taxpayers
and
ask
for
money
for
stuff,
you
know
I
I
you
know.
I
think
we
really
just
have
to
be
careful
when
we're
really
in
a
bad
situation.
Already.
F
G
Suggesting
that
this
philosophical
way
of
thinking
about
this
is
right
for
anyone,
but
I
always
look
at
these
kind
of
programs
this
way.
I
look
at
this
kind
of
program
the
same
way.
I
always
look
at
summer
youth
jobs
program,
their
best,
basically
economic
stimulus
programs,
you
give
kids
money
and
they
go
out
and
they
spend
it
in
the
community.
G
That's
what
typically
happens-
and
I
look
at
this-
the
same
way
you're
going
to
hire
chelsea
residents
for
six
months,
you're
going
to
pay
them
money,
they're,
going
to
end
up
spending
this
money
in
the
community.
It's
you
could
look
at
it
as
just
another
piece
of
our
effort
to
stimulate
our
economy.
In
the
midst
of
this
economic
downturn,
that's
one
way
to
look
at
it
and
that's
the
way.
I
typically
have
always
looked
at
these
kinds
of
temporary
employment
programs.
They
do
provide
beyond
the
money
to
the
individual.
A
G
M
Okay,
the
audio
is
absolute
trash
today,
so
I
just
you
know
I
didn't
want
to
come
on
him,
be
the
the
bad
guy.
So
I'm
glad
that
todd
taylor
went
before
me.
I
have
to
admit
that
on
some
of
the
darkest
days
in
our
community,
walking
by
and
seeing
those
flowers
around,
the
city
really
just
boosted-
it
just
boosts
morale.
M
It
just
was
very
inspirational
and
as
someone
who
has
a
mini
garden
in
her
house
and
two
very
green
thumbs,
I
can't
tell
you
how
important
I
know
that
this
is
for
the
community
for
community
building
to
getting
people
engaged
and
for
all
of
us
to
wrap
around
such
a
cool
project.
On
the
other
hand,
it's
just
I
it
just
for
me.
M
It
just
kind
of
you
have
people
here
whose
water
rates
continue
to
go
up
whose
taxes
continue
to
increase
by
double,
and
then
we
put
a
couple
of
flowers
around
the
city
and
it's
like
what
are
we
doing
to
help
folks?
I'm
thinking
we
need
to
focus
on
what
we're
going
to
be
cutting
coming
this
new
budget
for
2022,
not
thinking
about
how
we're
going
to
add
yet
another
hefty
price
tag.
M
And
I
can't
tell
you
how
much
it
pains
me
to
say
that,
with
with
how
much
I
love
plants
and
flowers
and
how
important
and
vital
I
believe
this
program
is
maybe
it's
time
that
we
reevaluate
some
of
the
other
programs
that
we're
funding
and
seeing,
if
they're
actually
beneficial
as
to
justify
and
be
able
to
pay
for
this
program.
But
I
think
that
we
continue
to
spend
money
so
frivolously
and
we're
at
a
point
where
our
community
is
in
a
very
tight
situation.
We're
in
the
middle
of
a
global
pandemic.
M
People
are
about
to
lose
their
housing
and
we
really
need
to
get
serious
about
the
messages
that
we're
saying,
because
that
we're
sending,
because,
if
we're
saying
yeah
your
taxes
are
being
raised
and
and
and
and
that's
happening
out
of
this
side
of
our
mouth.
But
oh
yeah.
Let's
invest
in
some
flowers
it
just
kind
of
sends
the
wrong
message.
So
I
I
don't
really
know
how.
I
feel
about
it
and
I
feel
torn
even
saying
everything
that
I've
said,
but
I
have
to
be
100
honest
with
you
all
about
how
I'm
processing
this.
M
We
have
serious
issues
that
we
need
to
tend
to,
and-
and
I
appreciate
that
mr
ambrosino
is
willing
to
invest
in
a
program
like
this,
but
mr
ambrosino
also
likes
to
spend
money
and
doesn't
like
to
reevaluate
the
other
programs
where
he's
spending
money
to
see
if
they're,
actually
fruitful,
and
so,
as
you
know,
as
a
city
councilor,
it
is
our
job
to
hold
them
accountable.
And
that's
where
I
stand.
But
I
appreciate
what
everybody
said
about
the
program.
M
D
We
have
the
rokaku
four
days
a
week,
so
it
it
they
roughly
deploy
about
four
or
five
youth,
and
I
mean-
and
I
sent
pictures
to
to
a
lot
of
you
guys
about
you-
know
the
the
and
women
about
what
they
actually
do
right
I
mean
so
so,
just
yesterday,
a
counselor
savage
emailed
me
about
the
trash
on
the
mill
creek
rocco
was
deployed
there
today.
Right
I
mean
this
is
not
an
issue
of
of
of
of
rogue,
not
doing
their
job.
D
K
Because
if
we're
going
to
spread
these
25
people
out
around
the
city,
my
suggestion
would
be
to
take
the
roka
crews
and
have
them
concentrate
on
taking
care
of
the
parks
and
then
being
able
to
go
down
to
the
creek
and
clean
up
around
the
creek.
I
think
if
we
can
utilize
them
in
a
better
manner
that
we
can
get
more
for
the
buck,
while
we're
looking
at
other
alternatives
to
the
program.
A
So,
unfortunately,
we've
run
out
of
time
and
we
need
a
break
for
our
it
crew
between
meetings.
So
I'm
sure
that
this
will
be.
This
will
have
further
discussion.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
tonight
for
coming
in,
in
particular,
the
individuals
from
the
city
who
residents
who
started
this
program,
naomi's,
abbott
and
celeste.
I
appreciate
you
coming
in
and
our
commissioners
and
to
my
colleagues
thank
you
for
the
questions
we'll
now
be
closing
and
we'll
see
each
other
in
three
four
minutes.
Thank.
