From YouTube: Charter Review Meeting of 1-13-21
Description
City of Chelsea, via WebEx
A
Hi
everyone
good
evening
today
is
wednesday
january
13th,
and
we
meet
once
again
as
the
city
charter
review
commission.
So
thank
you,
everyone
who
is
joining
us
virtually
and
all
the
members
who
are
here
present
in
person
today
we
will
be
discussing
section
seven
and
eight
based
on
our
agenda,
but
we
will
also
carry
on
with
section
six.
A
So
the
first
item
that
we
will
be
discussing
is
the
last
item
on
section
six,
which
was
a
proposal
presented
by
roy
aveyaneda,
and
it
was
a
proposal
that
many
of
you
had
questions
about,
and
our
city
solicitor
needed
time
to
do
a
bit
more
research
on.
We
hope
that
today
we
will
be
able
to
answer
some
of
your
questions
from
that
you
may
have
directly
for
our
city
solicitor,
but
also
directly
to
the
proposal
of
this
the
author
of
this
proposal.
So
let's
begin
first
with
attendance.
B
A
D
Hello,
so
my
name
is
manuel
tesle,
I'm
a
chelsea
high
alumni
and
I'm
here
today
in
support
of
the
recommendation
that
I
made
a
couple
of
months
ago.
The
recommendation
that
section
7.5
be
amended
to
add
that
the
city
allowed
non-citizens
to
vote
in
municipal
elections
by
changing
the
language
in
section
7.5.
D
D
We
usually
talk
about
fighting
for
the
people
that
are
not
being
listened
to,
and
we
always
see
that
on
social
media
and
we
share
it,
but
whenever
we
do
have
the
opportunity
to
do
something,
we
change
that
we
usually
stand
by.
But
all
of
us
here
now
or
at
least
the
voting
members-
do
have
an
opportunity
to
start
changing
that.
To
start
amending
that,
I
am
not
asking
you
to
let
members
of
outside
communities
to
vote.
I
am
not
asking
you
to
let
outsiders
vote.
D
I
am
asking
you
to
let
the
man
that
lives
across
the
street,
the
women
that
live
across
the
street,
the
women
that
wake
up
at
4
00
a.m
in
the
morning
and
go
to
work.
They
pay
their
taxes,
because,
if
you
did
not
know,
people
who
are
here
undocumented
do
pay
taxes
and
they
provide
this
city
with
the
amount
of
money
that
it
has
right
now
and
it
contributes
greatly
and
the
kids
the
children
they
go
to
our
schools.
We
have
a
bridge
academy.
D
If
you
need
numbers
about,
what's
the
percentage
of
people
that
live
in
the
city
that
are
undocumented
and
that
they
are
not
being
allowed
to
vote,
you
would
be
surprised
to
find
that
a
great
portion
of
them
are
not
being
represented
by
city
elections.
Again,
I
am
not
asking
you
to
let
outsiders
vote.
A
Any
other
member
okay.
So
now
we
move
on
to
discuss
an
item
that
had
remained
in
our
in
our
minds.
It
was
was
something
that
we
did
not
finish
discussing,
which
was
the
proposal
by
royal
section
6.4,
as
you
may
all
remember,
I
will.
I
will
read
it
very.
Just
the
beginning
portion
makes
section
6.4
personnel
administration,
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
section
and
create
section
6.5
as
personal
administration.
A
The
new
section
6.4
zoning
board
of
appeal
should
read
as
follows
and,
as
you
may
all
have
in
front
of
you,
there
is
a
zoning
board
of
appeal
document
that
he
presented
to
us.
I'm
sure
that
you've
had
plenty
of
time
to
familiarize
yourself
with
it.
So
I
will
open
up
the
floor
for
any
member
of
this
commission
who
has
questions
either
for
royavayanera
or
for
our
city
solicitor.
I
see
one
hand
going
up
and
charlene
you
have
the
floor.
F
No,
there
are
not
and
they're
definitely
not.
So
what
you
have
to
understand
is
that
some
cities
and
towns
are
the
special
permit
granting
authority.
In
fact,
they
are
the
zba
right,
so
that's
different
than
what
is
a
what
is
presented
to
you
here.
What
is
presented
to
you
here
is
a
city
council
reviewing
a
special
perma
granting
authority's
decision,
which
is
in
violation
of
state
law.
Not
only
is
it
in
violation
of
state
law
to
have
someone
then
review
it.
F
The
timelines
in
this
over
extend
the
state
law
timelines
to
appeal
any
decision
of
the
special
permanent
granting
authority
so
as
written
this
particular
document
is
in
violation
of
state
law
and
illegal
and
can't
be
adopted.
F
So
what
I
heard
last
week
or
two
weeks
ago
was
to
deal
with
mitigation
measures
and
so
forth
and
so
on.
I
would
that
purpose
alone
is
illegal,
but
you
can
be
the
zba
and.
F
F
E
Cheryl,
thank
you
for
that
answer
so
roy,
given
that
how
would
you
propose
amending
it,
then
I
mean
because
on
the
face
of
this,
we
this
is
an
automatic
denial.
B
B
C
All
right,
finally,
sorry
for
detecting,
I
should
have
walked
in
the
room.
Okay,
there
are
quickly
three
communities
that
we
know
that
the
city
plays
a
role
for
a
place
of
road
in
adopting
the
special
appointment
and,
more
importantly,
as
I
wanted
to
address
mitigation,
the
city
council
opts
or
approves
the
special.
C
Do
the
same
after
someone
applies
to
at
the
same
time,
currently
concurrently
in
the
of,
especially
through
the
dba.
It
also
applies
to
the
city
council
and
was
both
at
the
same
time
so
that
allowed
this
to
get
the
zb
and
the
city
council
in
place.
C
Flyer
to
zoning
board
and
prior
to
him,
standing
in
and
saying
here
we
go,
this
currency
manager
is
has
is
the
first
to
actually
make
a
recommendations.
Result
points
that
previously
manager
did
not
our
previous
team
manager
just
made
deals,
and
I
know
I
see
cheryl
laughing,
but
I
know
for
a
fact:
mitigation
was
practiced
for
developers.
C
C
If
the
city
of
boston
can
have
this
mitigation
process
done
publicly,
I
see
no
reason
why
the
city
council
shouldn't
also
be
the
ones
to
do
the
thing
and
it's
just
there
and
that's
what
look
what
goes
on
now.
I
understand
that
it's
you
know
it's
up
to
the
city
council
to
go
up
and
discuss
the
city
manager.
I
can
tell
you
I
bet
you.
There
are
members
right
now
in
the
city
council
that
not
once
have
been
approached
by
the
city
manager
discuss
mitigation.
C
Are
the
ones
to
hear
the
most
about
special
therapy
and
how
they
should
be
deciding
yes
or
no,
because
we
already
do
that
with
the
travel
report.
The
traffic
pool
already
here
positions
makes
decisions
whether
or
not
to
change
directly
or
apply
any
sort
of
important
restrictions,
and
then,
ultimately,
that
has
to
be
approved
by
this
council.
C
C
So
it's
the
same
thing:
if
you
don't
enjoy
various,
you
know,
basics
and
sends
it
to
the
city
council
for
final
approval,
which
way
it
should
happen.
That's
what
should
be
and
there's
right
now,
a
lack
of
transparency,
there's
a
lack
of
access
and
openness
when
it
comes
to
mitigation
packages,
and
if
one
wants
to
talk
about
how
a
city
council
can
go
and
advocate,
I
have
personally
heard
when
asking
for
certain
things:
that's
not
my
tradition.
C
C
F
F
F
F
All
the
time
when
there's
going
to
be
a
big
development,
john
de
pries,
is
who
you
go
to.
You
represent
the
city,
he's
a
city
administration,
that's
how
we
mitigate.
F
F
F
Option
or
an
amendment
tonight
from
councillor
janeta
and
I
sent
all
this
to
him.
No
other
city
in
town
has
a
traffic
commission.
The
way
we
have
it.
We
grant
a
lot
of
authority
to
our
traffic
commission
because
usually
you
have
a
parking
clerk.
What
I.
H
F
F
A
Thank
you
cheryl.
I
see
I
I
want
to
give
city
councilor
todd
taylor,
an
opportunity,
city,
councilor,
todd
taylor.
I
A
I
So
feel
free,
so
this
is
roy.
I
think,
raises
legitimate
points
in
his
basic
kind
of
view
of
the
city
manager
having
a
lot
of
power
to
do
this.
Now
I
mentioned
this
when
we
were
talking
about
the
city
manager's
role
in
the
charter-
and
you
know
everybody
said
oh
well,
you
know
it's
worked
so
well
so
far.
Why
change
anything?
I
I'm
not
opposed,
I'm
not
opposed
to
doing
that.
But
in
doing
that
you
know,
I
think
it
would
not
be
who
the
city
to
have
11
city
councilors,
on
the
city,
council
and
and
if
you're
going
to
take
on
that
much
responsibility.
I
think
less
city
councillors
and
more
pay
for
the
city
council,
because
there's
a
lot
more
work
is
would
be
in
order.
So
that's
a
whole
other
kettle
of
fish,
I'm
not
necessarily
opposed
to
it.
I
I
think
that
it
it
it
oftentimes
would
make
things
more
efficient,
but
then
you
lose
the
citizen
participation,
which
is
which
I
am
all
in
favor
of
so
there's
there's
obviously
pros
and
cons
in
this,
but
I
I
I
don't
think
you
could
go
forward
with
this
as
roy
presented
it.
I
I
I
think
that
the
city
council
doesn't
have
enough
say
in
what
happens
in
a
lot
of
things
in
the
city
which
it
should
I'd
still
like
to
see
the
citizen
participation,
because
I
think
that's
vital
too,
but
we
have
come
to
a
lopsided
system
because
of
the
corruption
that
went
on
previously,
so
that
we
have
a
strong
city
manager
who
basically
has
all
the
power
in
the
city
now
now
cheryl
says
well,
there's
ways
around
that
yeah
there
is,
but
it
might
be
a
lot
more
efficient.
I
I
know
because
I
was
on
the
planning
board
and
every
single
thing
has
to
come.
You
know,
because
the
way
the
government's
set
up
every
single
thing
has
to
come
before
the
planning
board
to
get
a
special
permit,
because
nobody
can
comply
with
the
ordinances
because
they
were
written
100
years
ago
and
no
one's
willing
to
change
them.
So
it's
a
really
inefficient
system
and
I
think
roy
is
right
to
want
to
reform
that.
I
just
don't
think
this
is
the
way.
I
I
think
you
have
to
make
a
decision
to
whether
you
want
a
weak
city
council
or
if
you
want
a
stronger
city
council
and
taking
some
of
that
power
away
from
both
the
the
commissions
and
the
city
manager.
I
I
don't
really
want
to
take
power
away
from
the
commissions,
but
the
city
manager,
I
think,
has
way
way
way
too
much
power
in
our
city
of
government.
That's
always
been
my
stance
and
I
would
I
would
ask
those
of
you
who
were
against
what
I
was
saying
before
to
please
reconsider.
I
This
is
not
any
type
of
power
play
or
whatever
it's
it's
a
it's.
A
philosophical
balance
of
power
and
in
chelsea
there's
not
much
balance
of
power,
because,
basically,
all
the
power
rests
with
the
city
manager
and
I
think
we
really
need
to
reconsider
how
this
works,
because
we're
not
in
the
same
situation.
I
We
were
20
some
years
ago
and-
and
I
think
that
in
some
respects
we
need
to
move
on
from
that
and
and
start
to
deal
with
things
a
little
bit
more
efficiently
and-
and
you
know
we
we
kind
of
have
a
cockamamie
system
now
I
I
ingredient
was
needed
at
one
time,
but
I
think
reconsideration
of
these
things,
at
least
to
to
consider
them
is,
is,
is
very
reasonable.
I
H
A
G
Perfect
yeah,
so
so
can
we
just
go
back
to
the
original?
So
cheryl?
Are
you
saying
at
this
point?
We
would
not
be
able
to
actually
vote
on
this
because
it
is
not
written
in
in
a
legal
way.
F
F
A
G
I
just
wanted
some
clarification
as
to
what
then
is
you
know,
is
expected
of
of
us
this
committee
tonight
and
it
and
I-
and
I
do
think
you
know-
there's
always
there's
always
room
for
improvement,
but
I
I
I
do
disagree
with
many
of
the
premises
that
mr
taylor
did
for
this
moment
so
yeah.
I
I
do
think
that
we
have
many
things
that
are
working
well.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
mary
roy
counselor
avayaneda.
I
know
you
had
your
hand
up
you're
on
mute.
C
How
about
now?
Yes,
all
right
in
light
of
the
civil
solicitor's
statement,
I
would
ask
that
the
proposal
will
be
withdrawn.
C
This
needs
to
be
worked
on,
I
plan
to
present
something
to
the
council
and
have
something
that
fits
a
charter
so
that
we
can
have
some
sort
of
codify
within
the
zoning
process
or
whatever
we
have
in
zoning
ordinances,
so
that
a
mitigation
process
is
placed,
while
my
colleague
robertson
state
that
an
ability
to
walk
into
the
city
manager's
office
and
to
have
one-on-ones
with
him
and
try
to
negotiate
mitigation
is
available.
C
However,
in
practice,
I
will
tell
you
from
experience
I'm
sure
if
I
point
to
some
of
their
newbies,
no
one
ever
told
them
hey.
You
have
the
ability
to
go
into
the
city
manager's
office
and
mitigate
and
offer
you
know
and
request
mitigation.
That's
never
been
explained
to
me.
I
had
to
learn
that
and
I
found
out
much
more
my
second
term
round
than
I
did
the
first
time.
C
So
what
I'm
trying
to
do
is
be
sure
that
whether
you
are
a
first
year
city,
councilor
or
20-year
city
councilor,
there
is
a
process
put
in
place
that
everyone
city
council
can
get
involved
in
when
it
comes
to
mitigation
and
input
on
special
permits
that
get
approved
and
that
without
that
process
in
place,
it
shouldn't
get
approved
and
it
shouldn't
be
a
you
know:
it's
a
who
knows
what
type
of
deal
which
is
what
we
have
right
now
and
I
agree
with
city
with
councillor
taylor.
Look,
we
are
not
in
the
same
place.
C
We
were
20
years
ago.
We
have
matured,
we
have
gone
on
and
our
city
council
right
now
the
way
it
works
and
can
work
on
these
deals
if
other
city
councils
and
aldermen
can
somehow
negotiate
amongst
themselves.
You
know
the
impact
of
a
development
and
figure
out
what
can
and
doesn't
cast
it
will.
If
it's
up
to
the
city
manager,
to
have
to
make
a
case
for
what
he
negotiated
in
front
of
the
city
council
and
get
six
votes,
then
that's
what
should
happen.
C
C
I'd
rather
be
out
in
the
open,
and
everyone
know
exactly
what
we're
saying
then
have
it
done
between
closed
doors
and
I'm
sorry.
It's
done
in
closed
doors,
and
I
have
not
seen
the
mitigation
proc
proposals
passed.
I
know
for
a
fact.
The
new
hotel
at
the
end
of
broadway
had
a
mitigation
process.
There
was
nothing
that
got
passed
in
front
of
city
council,
nothing.
C
Tell
me
when
the
residents
of
the
city
heard
about
that.
Nowhere
not
at
a
zoning
board,
certainly
not
a
planning
board.
So
if
I'm
asking
for
transparency
when
this
stuff
happens,
I
think
that's
fair,
and
if
I'm
asking
that
the
city
council,
every
city
council
member,
be
part
of
that
process
and
not
within
closed
doors
and
not
because
someone
knows
something
or
not.
This
is
how
the
power
levers
work.
Then
we
will
all
be
as
a
city.
We
will
all
be
better
and
that's
it.
C
So
I
will
withdraw
this
right
now,
but
at
some
point
I
will
be
bringing
this
back
up
and
maybe
it's
part
of
a
zoning
ordinance
that
will
be
passed
and
not
a
charter
change.
But
I
guarantee
you,
there
is
an
appetite
and
a
will
on
my
colleagues
to
be
part
of
the
mitigation
process
in
a
formal
public
setting
and
if
the
point
person
has
to
be
the
city
manager,
then
fine,
let
him
be
the
one
guy
to
negotiate,
but
let
him
have
to
come
in
to
us.
C
C
It
wasn't
until
I
publicly
put
that
document
out
and
out
there.
It
wasn't
even
supposed
to
be
a
public
document.
It
was
until
I
asked
for
that
to
be
a
public
document
and
that
began
to
go
a
public
process
and
I
raised
holy
hell
that
I,
and,
along
with
the
community,
negotiated
a
much
better
deal,
even
though
I
was
told
there's
no
way
in
hell,
I'm
going
to
be
able
to
stop
fifth
street
offline
from
closing.
So
do
I
think
the
public
process
should
work.
C
Absolutely.
I
think
we
as
a
boarder
the
community
deserve
this.
Absolutely
that's
the
goal
here.
I
understand,
if
maybe
this
format
isn't
the
right
one
in
the
language,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
this
idea
of
mitigation-
it's
done
around
the
city
of
boston
on
their
their
website,
and
you
will
see
how
they
created
a
subcommittee
made
up
of
residents
and
of
the
area
to
negotiate
that
impact
state
the
impact
and
mitigate
it.
It's
going
to
be
part
of
it.
Thank.
C
A
Now
that
this
motion
has
been
withdrawn,
we
will
no
longer
continue
the
debate
on
the
matter.
We
will
move
on
to
the
next
section.
This
motion
is
no
longer
in
front
of
us.
There
is
no
longer
a
vote
in
front
of
us,
so
we
will
move
on
to
our
next
section.
I
see
counselor
brown.
If
this
is
regarding
this
section,
please
make
the
remarks
brief.
We're
not
going
to
be
opening
it
back
because
it's
been
withdrawn,
so
counselor
can.
J
So
so
my
question
is:
what
is
the
order
here?
I
mean
going
have
taken
up
about
15
minutes
on
debate
that
after
the
motion
was
told,
it
was
illegal.
How
are
we
running
the
meetings
here?
I'm
just
wondering
why
we
have
to
sit
here
and
listen
to
all
this
past
actions
on
former
city
councils
and
former
city
managers,
when
I
have
no
relevance
and
what
we're
debating
here
tonight
prior
to
putting
this
proposal
on
the
agenda
for
a
vote.
I
just
think
it's
out
of
order.
J
I
think,
as
we
go
forward,
we
ought
to
have
some
fairness
and
some
standards
here.
I
appreciate
what
he's
done
and
said,
but
he
had
a
week
and
honestly,
I
thought
we
had
two
weeks
to
find
out
for
myself
to
get
respond
back
to
from
the
legal
department
which
she
stated
last
week,
which
haven't
happened
tonight,
we're
here,
and
we
have
to
hear
all
this
interaction
where,
if
those
two
had
a
conversation
that
needed
to
be
hashed
out
could
have
been
hashed
out
between
them.
J
I
think
it's
unfair
for
us
as
members
to
have
to
listen
to
this
and
feel
like
that.
We're
being
under-appreciated
for
what
we're
doing
with.
A
Our
time,
thank
you,
kelso
brown,
for
your
comment.
I
will
address
this
quickly.
This
motion
was
brought.
This
packet
was
given
to
the
city
solicitor
in
our
last
meeting.
The
city
solicitor
made
it
very
clear
that
she
not
she
did
not
have
the
answers
to
some
of
the
questions
that
these
members
had.
So
everyone
asked
a
few
questions.
She
didn't
have
some
of
these
answers.
She
asked
for
time
to
do
her
research.
We
gave
her
time
to
do
her
research.
She
gave
her
verdict
today
that
this
is
not
legal.
We
opened
it.
A
We
opened
the
floor
today
to
the
members
of
this
body,
so
they
could
ask
their
questions.
As
the
chair
of
this
committee,
it
is
my
duty
to
ensure
that
every
member
who
has
a
question
gets
the
opportunity
to
ask
the
question.
This
item
is
no
longer
in
front
of
us.
Everyone
was
able
to
answer
the
question.
I
have
asked
multiple
times
if
they
were
satisfied
with
the
answers
to
their
questions,
and
they
were
so.
A
H
A
A
A
A
F
G
F
We
we,
we
haven't
been
told
okay.
G
So
we
so
the
the
change
would
go
forward,
even
if
we
are
having
vote
by
mail
right.
That's.
F
G
F
I
I
would
also
remind
people
that
there
are
are
religious
groups
that
would
have
a
hard
time
voting
on
saturday,
so
I
I'm
not
sure
that
saturday
voting
would
be.
You
know
the
right
thing
to
do
on
this.
I
really
do
so.
J
Me
yes,
yeah
go
for
the
first
part,
voting
by
mail,
I
mean,
if
you
want
to
vote
by
mail,
we
it's
not
something
that's
going
to
be
done
by
the
state.
At
this
point,
all
cities
and
towns
would
have
to
have
their
delegation
advocate
for
them
40s
and
also
have
your
local
bodies
to
support
that.
One
of
the
things
and
the
most
important
thing
of
voting
by
mail
is
funding.
J
So
unless
the
city
is
going
to
be
willing
to
pay
for
voting
by
mail,
only
whether
it's
the
envelopes,
the
return
envelopes,
the
clerk's
work
that
something
has
to
be
looked
at.
Also.
Another
avenue
that
we
should
look
at
is
also
speaking
to
our
city
clerk
and
ask
them
what's
their
opinion
about
voting
by
mail.
Would
they
like
to
see
it
happen?
J
I
mean
we're
elected
bodies,
school
committee,
members,
city
conference,
that's
the
discussion
that
we
could
have
and
we
can
bring
it
to
our
delegation,
the
switching
to
a
saudi
election,
some
small
towns
with
society
elections,
obviously
because
they
have
a
smaller
community.
A
lot
of
bigger
towns
do
not
switch
to
saturday
elections.
Now
the
elections
is
not
as
easy
and
it's
not
as
complete
convenient
as
people
think
they
are
there's
still
a
lot
of
work
to
have
to
go
into
saturday
elections
and
also,
as
kind
of
taylor
stated.
J
There
are
also
some
religious
holidays
and
days
of
worship
also
prevent
folks
so
trying
to
make
a
something
feasible
for
one
generation
is
another
generation
of
folks.
So
as
we
go
forward,
we
should
keep
that
in
mind
also,
and
we
also
should
have
a
conversation
with
the
city.
Thank
you.
E
I
was
just
going
to
piggyback
on
what
counselor
todd
taylor
was
saying
that,
in
addition
to
saturday
voting
being
difficult
for
certain
religious
communities,
we
also
need
to
consider
the
overtime
costs
associated
with
having
the
staffing
for
the
different
polling
stations
I'm
not
opposed
to
saturday
voting.
I
think
it's
actually
a
very
good
idea,
but
I
just
I
think
there
are
so
many
questions
and
concerns
that
need
to
be
resolved
before
it
could
be
enacted
here,
and
I
don't
think
that
we
are
right
now
equipped
to
make
that
decision.
E
A
J
Thank
you,
and
I
just
want
to
respond
to
our
attorney.
The
early
voting
this
year
is
only
extended
to
march
23rd
2021.,
so
any
elections
prior
to
that
date,
you
have
already
voted
outside
of
march
2
on
3rd.
You
do
not
have
early
voting
because
again,
the
state
have
not
authorized
it
taking
up
the
initiative.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
So
a
yes
vote
is
you
agree
with
the
proposal
in
front
of
you.
The
proposal
in
front
of
you
essentially
says
to
convert
to
change
tuesday's
elections
to
saturday
elections.
A
yes
vote.
Is
you
agree
with
the
proposal?
A
no
vote
is
you
do
not
support
the
recommendation
in
front
of
you,
judith,
garcia,
no
leo
robinson
calvin
brown,
please
unmute
yourself.
B
A
E
A
F
F
However,
our
state
constitution
pending
before
the
legislature
are
home
rule
petitions
in
cambridge
somerville,
maybe
amherst.
I
don't.
I
don't
know
if
any
of
that
have
been
allowed,
but
a
lot
of
cities
and
towns
would
like
to
allow
residents
who
are
non-citizens
participation
in
their
in
voting
and
it's
similar
to
the
initiatives
of
having
children
under
the
age
of
18
vote
for
the
school
committee.
A
G
Of
clarification,
so
the
home
rule
petition
versus
the
charter,
so
it's
a
different
pathway.
G
F
It
would
be
the
same
pathway
for
us
right
now,
because
other
cities
and
towns
are
not
in
charter
change,
but
it
is
a
it's
a
change
to
our
charter
and
we
would
seek
legislative
approval,
but
sometimes
the
legislature
would
make
you
ask
your
other
residents
to
vote
on
it.
F
F
F
So
the
so
there's
different
ways
to
change
the
charter.
It
would
have
to
be
charter
change
and
under
our
charter
there's
different
ways
and
under
the
commonwealth's
laws
the
city
council
themselves
could
hold
public
hearings,
bring
it
to
a
vote,
ask
a
question:
they
could
seek
a
home
move
petition
also
as
to
own.
This
particular
charter
change.
But
this
is
this
committee
is
just
to
review.
A
G
A
Great,
thank
you.
Anyone
else,
counselor
robinson.
H
H
Even
if
we
moved
forward
with
a
home
rule
petition,
there's
no
guarantee
one
that
it
would
pass
and
number
two.
It
could
would
be
kick
back
and
have
the
residents
of
this
community
weigh
in
on
a
vote
as
to
whether
or
not
it
would
move
forward
or
be
accepted?
Would
that
be
correct?.
A
Thank
you.
Anyone
else
have
any
questions
before
we
take
this
to
a
vote
great.
So
this
is
the
last
item
on
our
agenda.
This
is
the
last
vote
of
the
evening.
A
yes
vote
is,
you,
are
in
favor
of
you
support
this
recommendation
as
presented
a
no
is
you're,
not
in
favor
of
this
recommendation
to
be
included
in
our
packet
start
with
judith
garcia.
Yes,
have
to
this
calvin
brown.
I
H
G
E
E
A
All
righty
everyone
that
is
the
end
of
the
items
that
we
will
be
discussing
today,
so
we've
covered
the
last
pending
items
of
section
six
we
covered
section,
seven
and
eight.
Our
last
meeting
will
not
be
next
wednesday.
It
will
be
the
following
wednesday.
We
have,
as
you
may
all
know,
and
anticipate
there
is
in
that
presidential
inauguration
taking
place
next
wednesday.
I'm
sure
many
of
you
do
not
want
to
miss
that.
If
and
if
it
at
all
happens,
I'm
hoping
it
does,
but
nonetheless
have
a
great
evening.
