Description
City of Chelsea, Discuss Budget FY22
A
City
manager,
tom
ambrosinos,
honorable
members
of
the
city,
council,
ed
dunn,
also
included
tonight,
so
I'm
just
hoping
I
have
that
just
now
we
will
have
fidel
maltese
loom
malmolette
john,
the
priest
alex
train
mike
mcativ,
ed
dunn.
I
already
mentioned
ramon
garcia
yep.
Those
are
the
attended,
the
department
heads
that
will
be
joining
us
tonight
at
this
time.
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
role.
A
C
D
D
Most
of
the
businesses
and
processes
that
runs
on
the
city
depend
on
technology
and
in
terms
of
documents
and
access
and
everything.
We
are
basically
the
custodians
of
what
it
runs
and
what
is
preserving
the
city.
To
give
you
a
quick
idea
of
how
much
information
we
we
handle
on
a
typical
day,
for
example,
we
process
around
nine
nine
thousand
to
ten
thousand
emails
per
day
for
a
total
of
around
nine
million
emails
stored
on
only
in
google,
and
we
have
been
only
a
year
total.
D
If
you
want
to
think
about
how
much
paper
that
is
consuming,
we
have
around
52
million
pages
preserved,
and
we
are
the
custodians
of
that.
If
you
want
to
dig
into
how
many
trees
we
are
preserving
by
using
technology,
we
are
talking
about.
Basically,
a
million
boxes
of
paper
that
we
have
preserved
electronically
or
71
000
trees
that
has
been
preserved
due
to
the
use
of
technology
here
in
the
city
that
is
around
12
to
12
to
13
years
of
documents
preserved.
D
A
D
Well,
this
is
the
thing
with
computers
I
mean
you
can
go
to
best
buy,
you
can
go
to
stores
and
you
can
buy
computers,
maybe
cheaper.
What
we
buy
is
business
class
pcs.
Those
are
included,
has
three
to
five
years
of
warranty,
and
that
adds
some
cost
to
that.
Also,
we
include
the
licenses
that
those
pcs
need.
So
a
package
here
is
around
a
thousand
dollars
for
a
pc.
That's
why?
When
we
go
into
the
cycles
you're
going
to
see
that
sometimes
a
year
that
line
decreases
sometimes
it
increases.
D
We
have
been
doing
basically
desktop
replacements
almost
every
year,
just
to
keep
up
additional
pcs
are
needed
or
replacement
on
pcs,
the
cycle
of
a
pc.
To
give
you
an
idea,
is
between
three
to
five
years.
It
depends
on
the
usage,
unfortunately,
with
cobit,
because
most
of
the
employees
had
to
go
remote.
D
D
More
often,
one
thing
that
you're
going
to
see-
and
that
is
part
of
the
what
the
additional
budget
supplement
that
we
ask
is
that
we
are
going
to
acquire
a
different
type
of
technology
to
allow
the
employees
to
have
better
access
remotely
and
not
depend
on
the
pcs
on
the
different
locations
that
is
going
to
happen
within
the
next
year.
We
are
preparing
for
the
future.
I
mean
we
just
went
through
a
very
tough
pandemic.
D
I
don't
know
what
is
next.
My
duty
as
a
cio
is
to
plan
for
the
future
and
prevent
another
problem
in
terms
of
accessing
technology,
so
I
need
to
be
a
and
apply
more
technology
that
will
be
more
efficient,
so
fortunately
I
mean,
I
hope
that
I
will
be
able
to
present
the
details
of
that
about
that
for
time's
sake,
I
will
say
that
that's
what
the
what
we
are
heading
that
will
be
part
of
our
strategy.
We
have
to
be
that.
So
that's
why
you
see
that
those
increments.
F
D
You
are
going
to
see
that
the
top
books
that
we
buy
for
the
police
cruisers,
which
is
around
four
to
five
a
year,
also
their
side.
They
cycle
those
laptops
on
those
cruisers.
They
are
moving
to
a
different
type
of
technology
as
well.
On
the
cruisers,
there
is
already
three
to
four
cruisers
that
have
a
new
set
of
laptops
on
their
cruisers.
D
Also,
we
are
adding
new
technology
for
broadband
access
on
the
cruisers,
basically
that
those
cruisers
are
equipped
with
wi-fi
on
the
cruisers,
so
body
cameras
in
the
future
and
other
type
of
devices
will
be
able
to
connect
to
the
cruisers.
So
we
are
preparing
that
and
that's
why
you
see
on
the
cip
this
type
of
increments.
D
A
Thank
you
to
follow
up
on
that
question
and
to
mention-
and
it
was
a
and
it
was,
I
tried
an
explanation
that
I'm
looking
for,
as
you
mentioned,
it's
part
of
the
cip,
but
it
shows
up
in
an
expense
out
of
here.
So
if
it's
part
of
a
bond-
and
it's
not
a
it's,
a
this
sort
of
expenditure
is
not
a
one-off
but
actually
used
for
through
the
cip.
How
does
that
all
balance
out
itself.
F
This
this,
these
particular
items
are
not
part
of
the
bonding.
These
would
be
in
a
category
referred
to
as
operating
budget.
So
as
part
of
the
cip,
you
have
some
that
are
funded
from
free
cash,
some
that
would
be
operating
budget,
others
that
would
be
related
to
bonding
from
either
the
general
obligation,
bonds
or
the
mwra.
F
C
So
if
you
go
back
to
the
cip,
booklet,
you'll
see
a
first
column
that
says
operating
budget
and
some
of
those
of
those
40-yard
projects
that
we
had
there's
a
handful
that
show
up
in
that
op
as
the
source
of
funds
is
operating
budget
and
every
one
of
those
shows
up
in
our
budget,
because
we're
funding
those
projects
out
of
our
operating
budget.
I
think
it's
about
half
a
million
dollars
worth
and
they
show
up
in
various
places.
There's
a
few
in
dpw.
C
There's
a
there's
this
stuff
in
it,
so
they're,
independent,
the
funding
source
for
those
projects
is
the
operating
budget.
So
if
you
went
to
your
so
this
is
a
copy
of
the
cip
that
first
column
says
operating
budget
and
those
items
that
reflect
a
funding
source
in
there
show
up
in
this
operating
budget.
A
Okay,
any
questions,
counselor
lopez
and
then
council
taylor
and
remind
everyone,
the
the
tech
crew
in
the
back
and
also
at
home.
The
listeners
are
asking
us
to
please
speak
directly
into
the
microphone
they're
having
a
little
bit
of
trouble
hearing
us.
So
if
you
can't
hear
yourself
over
the
pa,
then
you're-
probably
not
talking
loud
enough.
H
D
There
is
an
increase
on
google
services.
Initially,
when
we
moved
to
gmail,
there
was
an
initial
cost
per
year.
Unfortunately,
google
decided
this
year
within
the
pandemic
to
increase
the
the
cost
almost
three
times,
what
we
used
to
pay
and
that
is
across
the
board.
So,
to
give
you
an
idea
that
was
initially,
we
paid
thirty
thousand
dollars
for
a
year
of
gmail
now
is
69
000.
D
So
that's
one
of
the
things
that
you
see
in
increment.
Also,
our
financial
system,
which
is
everybody
knows
as
munis,
has
also
going
to
be
increased
from
170
to
184.
We
are
also
adding
a
document
management
solution
for
the
financial
system
this
year
and
that
is
around
30
000
increase
as
well.
So
when
you
start
adding
all
this
increases
in
cost,
that's
why
you
see
a
big
difference
in
the
contract
line.
A
J
A
K
Hello,
roy
hello
council,
so
you
know
me
director
of
inspectional
services.
We
do
all
the
building
inspections,
housing,
inspections,
trash
tickets,
rat
abatements,
trash
work
and
so
on.
So
on
so
the
year
went
crazy,
like
everybody
else,
but
we
were
busy.
We
wrote
as
many
tickets
this
year
as
we
did
every
other
year.
K
Construction
was
busy.
We
even
had
to
do
more
inspections
because
we
had
to
do
a
lot
of
safety
inspections
to
keep
keep
it
rolling
on
the
cover
the
culvert
restrictions
on
the
job
sites,
the
complaints
sicknesses.
All
those
things
came
in
restaurants
when
they
closed
when
they
opened
complaints
sicknesses,
it
was
a
busy
year
for
us.
I
am
not
asking
for
any
more
money
this
year,
other
than
you
know
the
increases
for
the
longevity
and,
whatever
you
know,
salaries,
contractual
obligations.
A
K
Goes
ours
number
one
getting
back
to
normal.
Hopefully,
next
week
we'll
have
everybody
in
the
office.
It's
been
really
hard
working
remotely
we're
kind
of
a
close
office,
and
you
know
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
things
that
the
building
inspector
finds
out.
You
know
he
has
to
share
with
the
food
inspectors
and
the
electrical
inspectors
plumbing
inspectors,
all
those
we
all
kind
of
work
as
a
team,
so
being
separated
with
really
hard
dispersant
information
to
everybody.
K
The
construction
is
going
to
go
on.
We
we
have
a
bunch
of
projects
starting
now:
25
6,
25,
2nd
street
1005
broadway,
hopefully
by
the
end
of
the
year,
the
well,
I
think
in
this
in
the
fall.
Probably
we'll
start
up
on
the
housing
authority.
Work
on
on
central
ave,
there's
tons
of
construction
going
on.
We
can
excuse
me
so
works
going
to
continue.
Hopefully,
housing
inspections
will
go
back
to
normal
and
that
kind
of
took
a
hit
during
the
during
the
pandemic
other
than
that
everything's
moving
forward
we're
trying
to
get
more.
K
A
L
K
K
K
In
everett
died
of
a
heart
attack,
he
was
stressed
out
at
work,
revealed
that
the
commissioner
left
their
shorter
guy
average
shorter
guy.
The
tests
are
getting
harder
and
harder,
there's
just
a
shortage
of
building
inspectors
and
commissioners
in
the
in
the
state.
So
a
lot
of
I'm
just
afraid.
If
you
know
this
guy
could
go
somewhere
else.
A
K
M
A
K
A
A
A
C
A
C
G
G
N
C
G
G
N
A
N
N
N
You
have
the
budget
and
as
a
staff,
as
I
staff
a
completely
new
budget.
I
really
can't
give
you
a
summary
of
how
it
really
compares
with
the
others,
because
it's
it's
new
and
but
a
lot
of
these
figures
were
taken
from
the
planning
and
development
office
and
our
the
this
year's
budget
was
based
on
the
budget
provided
by
for
the
provider
for
these
activities,
when
it
was
a
part
of
the
planning
and
development
office
because
relative
to
staffing
supplies
both
leaving
those
and
bringing
our
own
based
on
those
of
previous
years.
N
N
A
N
A
O
A
C
The
idea
is
to
eventually
fill
that
that
was
the
old
lad
dell
position.
He
was
the
last
one
to
occupy
it
and
we
did
not
fill
that
when
he
left
again.
It
was
another
victim
of
the
pandemic
and
we're
trying
to
get
through
one
more
year
and
see
how
john
does.
But
I
would
expect
that
that
is,
you
know
really
john's
just
going
to
be
able
to
tread
water
until
he
can
get
a
assistant.
Now
I
will
point
out
that
we
you
have
given
him.
This
office
does
have
some
support.
C
C
So
john
has,
I
think,
just
about
on
board
a
lawyer
who
work.
You
know
a
handful
of
hours
a
week,
helping
him
write
the
official
opinions
for
zba
and
planning
board
decisions,
and
you
approved
that
last
year,
but
this
this
aspect
of
the
old
office
always
had
not
just
the
director,
but
a
person
assisting
and
the
eventual
goal
is
to
fill
that
position.
That's
why
we've
identified
it
in
the
budget,
but
it
will
not
be
filled
in
fy
22.
H
A
P
P
A
O
Excellent,
thank
you,
council
and
good
evening
everyone.
So
my
name
is
alex
tran,
I'm
the
director
of
housing
and
community
development.
We
have
a
variety
of
goals
with
this
year's
budget.
The
department's
mission
is
really
grounded
in
serving
residents
in
terms
of
their
social,
physical,
environmental
and
economic
needs
through
a
range
of
project,
delivery,
planning
and
policy
analysis
that
seeks
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
of
the
community
and
promote
local
economic
sustainability.
O
These
include
a
comprehensive
child
care
initiative,
food
security,
programming
and
programs
designed
for
at-risk
youth
and
families
that
can
help
them
weather
the
crisis
of
the
yakova
19
pandemic,
and
then,
lastly,
you
know
we're
continuing
to
further
a
wide
range
of
infrastructure
investments
in
the
coming
year,
which
include
reconstruction
of
major
arteries
such
as
the
beecham
williams
corridor
and
the
upper
broadway
corridor.
In
partnership
with
commissioner
maltese
and
the
department
of
public
works,
as
well
as
undertaking
neighborhood
improvements
that
affect
residents
day-to-day
lives.
O
O
O
Presently
the
contract
is
held
by
the
chelsea
collaborative
who
teaches
and
administers
the
program
at
a
minimum
on
an
annual
basis
we're
to
serve
at
least
35
low
and
moderate
income
residents
in
most
years
we're
serving
around
70.
Although
this
past
year
was
slightly
below
that
at
approximately
65
residents,
the
chelsea
collaborative.
O
A
Any
questions
alex
I'd
like
to
ask
a
question
here.
It
says
strategic
objectives
in
economic
development,
particularly
this
is
a
theme
that
our
subject
matter
has
been
discussed
with
my
colleagues.
It
talks
about
the
small
businesses
and
entrepreneurs,
and
I'm
just
curious
on
your
organizational
structure.
A
A
Okay,
so
when
you
say
when
you
say
when
I
see
the
organizational
structure-
and
it
says
community
economic
development,
I'm
just
want
to
make
sure
who,
who
who
is
the
individual
is
that
on
on
the
personnel?
I
see
economic
development,
specialist
carl
allen.
Is
that
the
case?
So
it's
carl
okay.
So
my
question
is:
while
we
have
some
work
have
been
done,
particularly,
I
would
say
in
the
last
year,
with
the
small
businesses
when
it
comes
to
larger
businesses.
A
A
A
Long-Term
councils
such
as
myself
and
leo
say
to
ourselves.
We
haven't
been
to
too
many
ribbon
cutting
ceremonies
in
a
while,
and
I
come
from
a
time
when
we
would
have
regular
tiffs
awarded
companies
were
relocating
to
this
area,
particularly
on
crescent
ave.
And
you
know
I
want
to
say
in
the
last
four
or
five
years
there
has
been
a
lack
of
that
and
I
don't
want
to
talk
about
the
marijuana
business,
because
that
was
just
separate
all
to
itself
and
that's
statewide
and
there's
a
run.
A
O
That's
an
excellent
question
so,
just
to
begin
you
know,
the
underpinning
element
of
our
economic
development
strategy
is
to
really
focus
on
the
assets
that
chelsea
possesses.
So,
as
you
know,
those
assets
include
our
geography,
our
workforce
and
our
connectivity
between
boston
and
the
greater
region
via
the
highway
and
the
regional
transit
network.
O
So
presently
we
are
in
the
process
of
preparing
a
business
attraction
and
retention
campaign.
So
this
summer
we've
actually
increased
intern
funding
in
our
proposed
budget
to
put
together
updated
marketing
materials
for
the
city,
as
well
as
to
coordinate
a
sort
of
multi-faceted
campaign
to
attract
medium
scale,
to
large-scale
employers,
the
occupation
and
industry
sectors
that
we're
we're
focusing
on
include
the
distribution
and
transportation
industries.
O
The
second
notable
project-
that's
still
undergoing
planning
but
will
begin
to
materialize
in
the
coming
year-
is
the
295
eastern
avery
development.
Again,
that
is
a
approximately
hundred
thousand
square
foot
light
industrial
redevelopment
that
will
focus
on
the
transportation,
warehousing
and
logistics
sectors.
O
So
our
geographic
areas
of
focus
right
now
are
really
the
waterfront,
as
well
as
the
beech
and
williams
corridor
for
that
type
of
traditional
industry.
You
know
we're
actively
engaging
with
existing
firms
to
retain
the
food
manufacturing
and
distribution
industries
and
undertaking
economic
development
projects
like
the
beech
and
williams
corridor.
In
order
to
ensure
that
infrastructure
is
adequate
to
support
those
companies
needs.
A
O
O
We
have
expressed
an
openness
to
the
biomanufacturing
and
the
food-related
industries
in
terms
of
cold
storage,
because
it
employs
such
a
small
number
of
folks.
We've
advised
them
against
that
type
of
use
there,
but
they're
still
in
the
process
of
specking
out
a
rehabilitation
scheme
for
the
property,
completing
capital
upgrades
and
searching
for
a
tenant.
So
we
work
with
them
relatively
regularly
between
our
economic
development
discussions,
as
well
as
the
ongoing
infrastructure
work
across
that
property.
P
P
P
O
Absolutely-
and
this
is
a
one
of
my
my
personally
one
of
my
favorite
subjects-
so
we
have,
I
would
say,
a
number
of
goals
pertaining
to
affordable
housing.
So
to
address
the
point
that
you
made
about
whether
affordable
housing
is
truly
affordable
for
chelsea
residents.
This
is
an
important
one,
not
only
for
our
department,
but
also
for
our
affordable
housing,
trust
fund
board
and
community
preservation
committee.
As
many
of
you
know,
there
can
be
affordable
housing
produced
at
you
know,
different
affordability
levels
that
are
still
out
of
reach
for
many
residents
here.
O
We're
also
pursuing
numerous
preservation
strategies,
as
over
the
next
five
to
ten
years.
Hundreds
of
units
will
be
expiring
in
the
greater
region,
so
we're
actively
negotiating
with
property
owners
to
try
to
preserve
those
affordable
units,
extend
their
affordability
and
even
deepen
their
affordability.
So
they
can
serve
lower
income
individuals.
O
So
with
the
pandemic
winding
down
right
now,
as
you
all
know,
tenants
and
homeowners
alike
have
both
been
economically
stressed
and
we
are
seeing.
You
know,
a
pretty
dramatic
rise
in
the
number
of
evictions
and
we
do
suspect
that
foreclosures
will
also
increase
in
the
near
future.
So
our
last
major
objective
is
to
ensure
that
the
city
and
our
departments
prepared
to
respond
to
that
type
of
situation
which
could
entail
acquiring
new
property
with
community-based
partners
like
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
board
and
converting
it
to
affordable
housing.
P
O
Absolutely
so,
at
the
back
in
december,
when
the
moratorium
and
the
uptick
in
evictions
was
really
starting
to
spiral
out
of
control,
we
convened
an
eviction
task
force
and
established
an
emergency
housing
program
which
was
honestly
the
first
emergency
housing
program
that
the
cities
really.
You
know
spearheaded.
E
O
Structured
support,
including
rental
assistance,
mortgage
assistance,
as
well
as
intensive
case
management,
so
we
focus
on
both
preserving
tenancies
through
legal
service,
rental
assistance,
so
households
can
remain
stably
housed
in
their
home
and
then
for
households
that
are,
unfortunately
evicted.
We
provide
emergency
case
management
with
trained
social
workers
and
housing
case
managers,
as
well
as
a
temporary
emergency
shelter,
which
is
particularly
important
for
households
in
chelsea
that
don't
qualify
for
state
or
federal
shelters,
which
often
times
are
individuals
given
the
limited
individual
shelter
options
across
the
commonwealth.
O
So
to
date
we've
assisted
about
40,
I
would
say
roughly
40
households
that's
equivalent
to
approximately
120
individuals
who
have
either
been
evicted
and
have
received
case
management,
services
or
shelter
or
who
we've
been
able
to
keep
stably
housed
in
their
home.
So
the
eviction
task
force
meets
every
monday.
We
coordinate
closely
with
community-based
partners
the
state
and
federal
agencies,
and
it
is
our
plan
to
continue
the
project
until
you
know,
circumstances
change
and
conditions
stabilize
on
the
ground.
L
Being
that
you
were
on
the
housing
case,
it's
come
to
my
attention.
We
have
employees
who
work
in
the
city
who
are
actually
making
about
60
000
a
year,
can't
afford
to
buy
a
house
still
here
in
chelsea,
and
I
think,
there's
some
mechanism
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
address
that.
Somehow
and
whether
or
not
we
have
to
go
back
to
the
affordable
housing
ordinance
to
put
something
in
there
to
be
able
to
protect
our
residents
and
being
able
to
keep
residents
here.
L
And
I
one
of
my
pieces
being
discouraged
by
seeing
people
coming
in
and
asking
for
waivers
to
move
out
of
the
city,
and
I
think
that's
become
a
strain.
I
think
to
me
and
my
members
on
this
council,
so
we're
looking
for
a
mechanism
to
you
know
how
to
address
that.
If
you
have
any
feedback
you
want
to
give
back
in
regards
to
that.
O
Absolutely
that's
a
that's
a
good
question,
so
I
guess
the
two,
the
two
suggestions
I
would
provide
broadly
and
that
we're
happy
to
meet
and
discuss
this
in
detail
so
the
first.
It
relates
to
prioritizing
specific
populations
that
are
vulnerable
in
our
existing
inclusionary
housing
program,
as
well
as
through
other
affordable
housing
opportunities.
O
L
A
O
You
know.
The
second
issue
is
one
of
economics
that
I
alluded
to
earlier,
which
is
that
at
some
point
in
chelsea
in
2021,
many
of
these
industrial
properties
are
actually
more
valuable
than
the
businesses
inside
of
them.
So
there
are
some.
You
know
economically
rational
actors
that
are,
you
know,
pursuing
their
shareholders
or
their
company's
best
interests,
but
not
necessarily
the
community's
best
interest
making
decisions
involving
real
estate.
I
think,
in
the
case
of
signature,
it
was
a
mix
of
the
two.
O
C
A
A
A
A
So
again,
I
have
to
wonder
what
is
the
thinking,
because
I
hear
conflict
between
what
was
asked
to
be
zoned
and
what
is
actually
happening,
and
will
we
ever
see
the
proposals
that
it's
currently
zoned
for
in
that
area
or
an
editing
area?
You
know
how
many
times
are
we
going
to
see
a
willow
street
project
or
295
project?
A
Basically,
we
had
to
wait
for
certain
buildings
to
be
over
100
years
old
before
they're
actually
thought
so
I
you
know
when
I
look
at
a
building
like
the
spring
air
mattress
that
was
empty
for
nearly
three
years.
A
whole
block
only
now
is
being
filled
in
what
is
it
being
filled
with
a
refrigeration
and
sort
of
operation?
G
L
L
A
Typically,
not
the
type
of
use
and
I'll
bring
this
back
later.
The
value
the
assessed
value
of
that
property
is
about
75,
a
square
foot
which
is
ridiculously
low.
Another
question
that'll,
be
I'm
I'm
sticking
a
residential,
but
this
is
multi.
I
you
know
again.
I
know
this
is
not
the
time
and
we
will
have
a
meeting
about
this.
A
I
don't
understand
what
the
economic
strategy
is,
because
when
I
look
back
the
last
five
years,
we're
not
seeing
it
we're
not
seeing
the
companies
come
in,
we're
not
seeing
the
buildings
that
be
should
be
done,
and
when
we
see
the
trend
all
around
us
of
industrial
use
being
converted,
because
there's
just
not
a
good
future
in
it,
and
yet
we
seem
to
be
clinging
on
to
certain
paths
or
a
buck
in
the
trend.
So
I'd
like
to
understand
what
the
strategy
is
at
times,
I.
C
Think
we
see
value
in
maintaining
our
industrial
uses
in
our
industrial
buildings
that
there
is
opportunity
there
as
these
as
these
locations
dwindle.
More
and
more,
as
you
say,
as
these
industrial
areas
get
turned
into
residential
areas,
I
think
there
is
going
to
be
a
demand
for
these
buildings.
I
think
that's
why
the
prices
of
some
of
these
industrial
buildings
are
so
exorbitant
because
there's
so
few
of
them
left.
C
So
I
feel
the
city
does
have
an
opportunity
with
its
industrial
portfolio
here
to
generate
a
lot
of
decent
paying
jobs,
and
it's
why
we
have
strived
in
most
areas.
Now
old
junk
yards
are
different.
I
I'm
not
opposed
to
rezoning
to
allow
for
some
residential
use
in
areas
that
have
historically
been
old
kind
of
dumpy
junk
yards.
C
Hence
the
sort
of
redevelopment
you
see
at
fairfield
and
our
reason
for
creating
this
mixed-use
overweight
district
for
some
of
those
surrounding
parcels,
but
in
areas
that
have
historically
been
industrial
like
signature,
bread
like
22
willow,
even
295,
where
they
were
a
waterfront
district,
they
had
a
right
to
build
residential.
We
told
them.
The
city
will
not
support
any
residential
development
on
this
parcel.
We
want
commercial
development
here
because
we're
trying
to
create
jobs,
I've
you
know,
and
then
you
can
just.
C
I
realize
reasonable
minds
can
disagree
on
this,
but
I
think
I
firmly
believe-
and
I
think
it's
a
belief
shared
by
others
here
in
my
administration-
that
there
is
a
value
in
maintaining
our
industrial
portfolio,
because
there
are
businesses
these.
These
industrial
sites
are
becoming
fewer
and
fewer,
and
we
do
feel
there's
an
opportunity
to
bring
businesses
here
that
can
provide
good
paying
jobs.
C
Yes,
it's
been
sort
of
foul
the
last
couple
of
years
and
particularly
since
covet
hit,
but
I
think
in
the
future
there's
opportunity
here
and
I
would
not
be
inclined
to
turn
everything
over
to
residential
development
and
I
think
295
may
be
a
good
example.
Of
course
nothing's
happened
yet,
but
I
think
that's
a
place
where
the
proposed
development
is
one
that
we
like
and
it
could
end
up
being
favorable
to
the
city
and
it's
a
site
that
in
the
alternative,
could
have
went
for
residential
development.
It's
certainly
a
use.
A
Well,
I
think
we
only
have,
I
think,
two
years
left
on
the
tax
attention
program
that
was
started
under
trump.
So
at
this
point
you
know
the
if,
if
it
goes
further,
you
know
at
this
point
we
were
ahead
of
the
game
four
years
ago,
hoping
that
that
that
would
have
brought
incentivized
a
business
in-
and
you
know
I
hate
to
see
in
order
to
make
something
happen
have
to
use
a
tiff,
and
the
sunset
happens
on
the
tax
assumption
that
is
federally.
There.
C
C
O
And
just
to
build
off
that-
and
I
I
think
the
barometer
or
the
metric
to
really
look
at
too
in
this
instance-
is
industrial,
commercial,
rents
and
industrial
commercial
vacancy
rates
in
in
places
like
chelsea
and
the
urban
ring.
You
know,
rents
continue
to
go
upward.
It
was
they
were
exacerbated
by
covet
19
and
the
rapid
shift
to
e-commerce,
but
we
have
one
of
the
lowest
vacancy
rates
here
for
industrial
property
in
terms
of
vacant
buildings
that
are
rentable
and
ready
for
lease
up
the
next
year.
O
I
Okay,
so
I'm
just
looking
at
the
handout
that
you
just
gave
to
us
and
there's
46
million
dollars
over
46
million
dollars
in
grant
funded
projects
under
management
correct.
So
I'm
looking
at
this
first
of
all
before
I
start,
I
do
want
to
commend
you
for
the
job
that
you
guys
did
this
last
year.
I've
said
it
before
and
I'll
say
it
again.
You
guys
were
unbelievable
and
I
really
appreciate
it
and
and
so
do
a
lot
of
other
people.
So
thank
you.
I
And
almost
an
equal
amount
of
public
social
services,
so
I
guess
what
I'm
saying
is
that
are
we?
Are
we
not
concentrating
enough
on
economic
development
so
as
to
try
to
kind
of
round
out
the
equation
here
and
and
try
to
try
to
really
provide
you
know
better
paying
jobs,
more
jobs
for
our
residents
here
in
chelsea?
So
they
will.
I
I
Is
this
really
the
best
strategy
to
adopt
where,
as
if
we're,
I
don't
see
this-
I
see
this
as
very
reactive
and
not
particularly
proactive
in
an
economic
sense.
So
could
you
could
you
speak
to
that
a
little
bit
and,
and
and
you
know,
I
know
that-
there's
a
need
for
these
things,
but
it
seems
a
little
out
of
balance
to
me.
O
Sure,
that's
a
that's
a
good
question.
So
in
terms
of
the
breakdown
that's
presented
here
in
the
infrastructure
category,
which
is
on
its
own
isolated,
there
are
numerous
projects
that
the
city
and
the
city
administration
really
see
as
crucial
to
economic
development
and
unlocking
economic
potential,
so
beecham
street's
a
great
example
of
that,
where
you
have
had
a
deteriorated
infrastructure
for
over
two
decades,
that
impedes
commerce
that
drives
business
out
of
that
district,
where
they're
flocking
to
communities
with
upgraded
infrastructure
and
newer
offerings.
O
So,
although
the
economic
development
programs
and
projects
category,
as
you
indicate,
is
smaller
than
housing
and
infrastructure
infrastructure
plays
a
huge
role
in
this,
where
those
investments
are
generating
dividends,
not
just
now,
but
10
15
20
years
down
the
road
you
know
so,
as
as
the
director
of
this
department,
I'm
I'm
not
going
to
sit
here
and
say
we
don't
need
more
resources
for
economic
development.
We
absolutely
do
right.
There
are
very,
very
limited
resources
at
the
state
level
for
economic
development
that
includes
tax
incentives.
O
That
includes
you,
know,
funding
for
site
readiness
and
preparation
and
other
transactions
involving
private
property.
You
know
the
state
prioritizes,
as
you
know,
transportation,
infrastructure
and
other
other
uses,
and
a
lot
of
the
economic
development
falls
squarely
on
the
shoulders
and
municipalities.
I
I
You
know
position
in
the
city,
and
I
think
that
for
you
know,
for
better
management
of
the
city
and
and
trying
to
trying
to
look
ahead
and
be
proactive,
and
I
understand
the
infrastructure
component
and
you're
absolutely
right.
I
was
hoping
that
you
were
going
to
give
some
examples
of
that
just
for
the
public,
so
they
can,
they
can
understand.
O
Absolutely
so,
there's
a
in
the
urban
planning
world
there's
a
famous
economist,
his
name's,
a
shower
he's
from
the
st
louis
fed,
and
he
did
this
famous
analysis
back
in
the
80s
that
looked
at
infrastructure
spending
and
economic
development
and
saw
that
for
every
one
dollar
spent
or
invested
on
infrastructure.
It
generates
almost
two
dollars
in
economic
growth
or
an
economic
impact.
L
Kicking
this
can
down
the
road
yeah
when
I
hear
these
developers
come
in
and
want
to
develop,
affordable
housing
and
they
keep
saying
that
70
percent
of
chelsea
residents
will
be
eligible
to
get
in
these
buildings,
I'm
kind
of
wondering
is
it
the
overall
project
or
the
subsidies
that
are
set
aside
for
those
developments?
I
don't
know
if
you
might
have
that
answer.
O
Yeah,
so
it
that
70
rule
is
tied
in
with
many
federal
and
state
funding
sources,
as
you
know,
so
it
applies
to
the
units
that
are
financed
with
those
federal
estate
subsidies.
So,
as
you
know,
affordable
housing
buildings
can
consist
of
multiple
different
funding
sources,
each
with
their
own
restrictions
and
each
with
their
own
terms.
L
O
A
A
M
Good
evening
counselors,
thank
you
for
having
me,
I
I
I
know
all
of
you.
Some
of
you
have
extremely
well.
I've
been
with
the
city
of
chelsea
for
for
just
over
four
years,
two
of
those
years
as
commissioner,
you
know,
we
we
have
the
the
the
private
joy
of
living
in
the
city
of
chelsea
and
and
raising
our
our
two
girls.
M
M
M
It
contains
the
the
the
administrative
staff
myself
luma
mullet,
our
business
manager
and
importantly,
it
also
funds,
our
our
chelsea
three
on
one
office,
so
chelsea
three
on
one
was
was
launched
in
in
february
of
last
year,
so
so
it
it
was
very
timely.
We
we
launched
it
actually
right
before
the
pandemic
and
very
quickly
we
we
were
able
to
to
to
staff
up
that
office
to
to
operate
12
hours
a
day.
M
M
As
you
can
see,
our
our
our
overall
salary
is
down
2.6
percent.
The
the
the
unused
sick
bonus,
which
is
a
a
contractual
item,
is,
is
up,
but
it
it's
a
relatively
small
dollar
amount,
which
means
that
our
our
overall
salary
is
down
2.2
percent.
On
the
expenses
side,
I
just
wanted
to
to
highlight
that.
There's,
there's
one
item
which
which,
which
seems
big
and
is
the
the
equipment
maintenance
line.
M
The
reason
why
that's
increased
is
because
we
we
added
a
a
new
copier
at
the
city
yard.
So
for
many
years
they
they
didn't,
have
a
copier
and
would
rely
on
on
driving
to
city
hall
to
to
make
photocopies.
So
that's
not
an
efficient
use
of
time,
obviously,
and
on
the
personnel
side
you'll
see
on
one
page
118.
M
M
M
Longevity
is
exactly
the
same.
We
we
are
that
is
going
up
significantly
because
of
a
lot
of
our
employees
are
reaching
that
that
that
milestone
of
10
years,
at
which
they're
they're
eligible
for
longevity
same
thing
with
licenses
and
and
same
thing
with
with
with
unused
sick
bonus
on
the
expense
side.
There's
a
few
items
that
I
wanted
to
to
highlight.
One,
of
course
is
is
park
lighting.
M
What
what
transpired
last
summer
is
that
we
we
have
to
keep
a
lot
of
lights
lights
on
in
in
parks
like
like
vogue
park,
in
particular
because
of
the
fireworks
and
and
we're
seeing
that
that
that
the
cost
of
electricity
in
our
parks
is
going
up.
So
we
we
are
projecting
for
that
to
continue
into
next
year.
M
The
the
next
line
that
I
want
to
highlight
is
is
maintenance,
citywide,
that
is
up
ten
percent
and-
and
I
do
want
to
highlight
that
that
our
fy
21
budget
was
was
cut
significantly
and
and
we
did
it
because
of
of
the
covet
19
pandemic.
So
we're
we're
essentially
asking
you
know
to
to
to
bring
that
back
to
what
it
used
to
be
in
fy
20.
trees
is
such
all
those
lines
historically,
trees
was
was
funded.
M
You
know
very
largely,
as
you
can
see,
our
our
our
fy
20
actual
expenditure
was
was
substantial,
but
in
fy
21
we
we
cut
it
down
to
the
bare
minimum
of
of
five
thousand
dollars.
So
all
we're
asking
is
to
you
know
just
to
bring
that
up
a
little
bit
again.
So
the
the
overall
expense
budget
seems
large,
but
but
it
it's
it's
it's
items
that
that
we
consider
essential
and
and
it's
really
what
what
our
residents
see
it's
street
signs.
It's
asphalt
on
the
streets.
Q
M
I
think
alex
and
answered
a
very
similar
question
by
saying:
could
we
use
more
absolutely,
we
can
definitely
use
more,
but
but
we're
trying
to
balance.
You
know
all
of
the
all
of
the
the
demands
on
our
departments
and
the
overall
expense
of
the
city
right,
so
so
in
this
budget.
Dbw
actually
asked
for
a
a
few
if
your
new
staff
in
water
and
sewer
in
particular,
and
could
we
have
more
employees,
absolutely
it's
just
the
the.
M
We
feel
that
that
right
right
now
is
not
the
right
time
to
to
to
to
ask
for
those
we're
we're
coming
out
of
of
of
the
global
pandemic.
You
know
the
the
the
financial
future
is
is
uncertain.
You
know,
I
think,
if
in
fy
23,
if
the
city
finances
a
rebound
to
what
they
were
pre-covered
19,
that's
definitely
something
that
I
would.
I
would
like
to
request.
C
C
C
C
F
F
One
item
I
wanted
to
also
mention
related
to
the
capital
budget.
I
should
have
mentioned
this
before
you
open
for
questions,
but
if
you
call
I'll
call
your
attention
to
the
capital
budget,
there's
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
storm
water
management
and
then
fifty
four
thousand
for
the
vehicle.
This
goes
back
to
the
earlier
discussion.
We
had
with
ramon
garcia
on
the
cip,
and
so
these
are
also
two
items
in
the
operating
budget
in
this
streets
and
sidewalks
budget
that
are
not
part
of
the
bonding
and
you
had
approved
that
in
your
fy22
cip.
F
M
A
M
G
M
M
It's
actually
on
on
page
121.
So
that's
where,
where
we
are
so
so
the
the
line
that
that
says,
contract
services
and
is
funded
for
145
thousand
dollars,
that
is
the
contract
from
from
roka.
But
but
it's
actually
funded
at
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
in
fy
22.
We
we
split
out
five
thousand
dollars
of
that
to
to
water
and.
A
Sewer,
and
can
you
explain
again
because
this
is
all
part
of
the
great
you
know
the
larger
question
when
we're
talking
about
services
and
cleaning
the
streets,
and
so
here's
a
line
item
for
145
000
and
the
request
is
what
exactly
role
do
they
play
in
the
overall
cleanliness
of
the
city
of
chelsea?
What
are
we
getting
for?
The
145.
M
M
We
we
assigned
them
to
to
picking
up
trash
in
the
parks
and
we
assign
them
to
to
to
areas
where
you
know
where,
where
it
might
be
a
little
troublesome
for
us
to
get
into
like,
like,
like
the
the
chestnut
street
parking
lot
or
or
the
area
behind
the
home
depot
which,
which
is
an
area
that
we
get
calls
about.
All
the
time.
A
M
A
M
So
the
the
supervisor's
name
is
brandon,
I
mean
he
and
I
just
want
to
emphasize
that
that
the
keeping
the
the
these
these
employees
you
know
motivated
in
line
right,
I
mean
you
know,
rockers
program
is-
is
to
is
to
provide
you
know
an
opportunity
for
troubled
youth
right.
So
so
the
the
supervisor
is
critical.
I
mean
they,
they
they're,
who
who
we
talk
to.
M
If
we
see
something
that
that
is
off
and
it's
branded,
I
mean
he's
been
doing
the
program
for
a
long
time
and
he's
a
great
asset
and
and
you'll
see
that
I
mean
they.
They
come
to
the
yard.
Every
morning
in
in
a
white
van,
they
they
are
required
to
wear
the
the
brown
rocker
shirt
and
you'll
see
them
in
the
parks.
A
A
A
C
C
I
I
I
I
When
you
know
it's
like
you
know,
if
we're
talking
to
the
public
health
officials,
they
talk
about
preventative
measures
right
for
for
public
health,
that
this
saves
so
much
money.
So
this
is
all
I'm
saying
when
it
comes
to
dealing
with
the
trash,
because
counselors
abbott's
right
about
this
is
that
it
is
a
problem.
People
are
upset
about
it,
I
think,
and
and
they
and
they
they
want
to
see
a
change.
I
I
I'm
just
saying
like
we.
If
we
don't
hold
the
public
to
a
certain
standard,
if
we
just
let
people
do
whatever
the
you
know,
whatever
they
want
and
we're
going
to
clean
up
after
them
and
we're
going
to
pay
the
bill
to
do
it.
I
mean
there's
something
wrong
with
that
and
I
think
it's
it's
it's
a
it's
a
matter
of
educating
the
public
to
pick
up
after
themselves
and
to
have
some
common
courtesy.
Have
some
pride
in
where
you
live?
Have
some
respect
for
your
neighbors.
I
These
are
not
hard
things,
but
we
as
the
city
should
ask
our
our
residents
to
do
this.
I
mean,
I
think
it.
You
know,
let's
curb
the
problem,
so
we
don't
have
to
spend
as
much
money
on
it
because
you
know
it's
basically,
you
know
these
people
are
forcing
us
to
spend
more
money
than
we
should,
and
you
know
it's
not
that
hard
to
pick
up
your
beer
cans,
and
maybe
we
should
have
some
enforcement
to
make
sure
people
aren't
drinking
in
the
park.
C
So
we
have
tried
to
I
mean
this
issue
of
litter.
We
have
tried
to
be
proactive.
We
just
spent
money
this
past
year
on
public
service
announcement
did
a
fairly
professional
psa
that
we've
put
out
with
residents
in
the
community
to
try
to
aim
at
this
point
of
getting
residents
to
think
about
taking
care
of
their
own
property,
taking
care
of
the
city's
property.
So
we
have
tried,
I
mean
what
you're
suggesting
would
require
some
people
present
on
those
sunday
afternoons
in
those
parks.
I
And
so
so,
I'm
I'm
just
submitting
to
you
that
it
might
be
cheaper
to
do
that
than
to
spend
the
additional
money
to
you
know
clean
up
a
big
mess.
If
you
have
a
smaller
mess,
it's
a
lot
cheaper
to
clean
up
a
smaller
mess
than
it
is
a
big
mess.
So
I
mean
it's
pretty
simple.
I
think
that
I
think
that
this
is
a.
This
is
a
common
sense
type
of
thing
that
we
ought
to
be
looking
at.
Instead
of
just
you
know,
here's
the
problem:
how
are
we
gonna?
How
are
we
gonna?
I
I
We
need
to.
We
need
to
expect
a
certain
level
from
our
residents
too,
and
that
means
that
means
some
sort
of
something
there
to
enforce
the
rules.
So
they
know
what
to
expect
and
if
they
can
expect
to
just
throw
their
beer
cans
in
full
park
all
over
the
place
that
it's
a
it's
a
damn
mess
they're
going
to
do
it
because
nothing's
going
to
happen
to
them.
Nothing's
going
to
you
know,
hey
nobody's
going
to
say
anything
to
you
so.
A
I
think
what
just
to
surmise
and
get
going
on
into
the
budget
council,
taylor,
brains
up
similarities
between
the
psas
that
are
for
drunk
driving
and
also
but
there's
also
traffic
stops
along
by
state
police
to
catch
people
who
are
doing
it.
So
it's
not
just
education,
but
enforcement
and
maybe
more
patrols.
A
combination
of
having
the
police
officers
do
a
a
patrol
to
these
areas
that
become
problem
is
part
of
the
problem
is
part
of
the
solution
not
just
again
adding
more
cleanup
crews
but
counselor
robinson.
L
L
We
need
to
get
in
this
park,
it's
going
to
take
us
an
hour
and
a
half
to
clean
that
park
and
we're
going
to
get
to
the
next
park,
whatever
it's
going
to
take
another
hour
hour
and
a
half
to
be
able
to
put
a
dent
into
what
we're
doing
so.
We
actually
must
need
somebody
to
follow
up
and
watch
over
whether
or
not
they're
actually
doing
a
job.
M
Yeah
I
mean
so
so
that
was
a
lot
of
questions.
Obviously
the
I
think
you
allow
me
by
now
I
mean
I,
I
I'm
very
passionate
about
beautification,
I'm
very
passionate
about
trash
and
what
we
have
done
to
to
to
quell
the
issue
of
trash
in
in
the
last
four
years.
It
hasn't
just
been,
you
know,
just
making
a
a
psa,
I
mean
we.
What
we
have
tried
to
do
is
is
a
city-wide
effort
of
of
of
raising
the
bar
right.
M
So
and
it's
been
from
you
know,
from
from
the
banners
that
say,
you
know
more
motivational
things.
It's
it's
making
sure
the
lights
are,
are
working
right
there
in
the
streets
and
and
on
broadway
I
mean
it's
it's
responding
to
each
and
every
call
on
potholes
right
I
mean
it,
it's
it's
everywhere.
I
mean
right
because
what
you're
absolutely
right
we're
we're
trying
to
raise
the
bar,
but
unfortunately
you
know
the
reality
is
it
is
that
you
know
I
live
in
america.
M
As
you
all
know,
emery
o'malley
has
has
three
three
full-time
employees
from
from
dcr
who
who
who
who
are
staff
there
and
they
sit
in
that
little
house
right
and
they
mow
the
lawn
they
they
walk
around
a
few
times
right
and
pick
up
litter
right
I
mean
and
it's
their
responsibility
to
to
to
make
sure
the
park
is
clean.
It
is
it's
three
employees
and
a
supervisor
the
for
us.
I
mean
vogue
park
up
counselor
trainer
it.
It
is.
M
M
G
G
I
You
know,
but
I
guess
what
I'm
saying
is
is
that
you
know
there
has
to
be
some
sort
of
personal
responsibility
for
people,
and
so
you
can't
always
use
the
carrots.
Sometimes
you
have
to
use
a
stick
too,
and,
and
that
doesn't
mean
that
you
go
around
beating
people
all
the
time.
Okay,
that's
not
what
that
means.
It
just
means
that
you
know
if
someone's
there
at
least
giving
warnings,
if
not
writing
tickets,
then
you
know
they
understand
that
they
cannot
just
throw
their
trash
on
the
ground.
I
F
I
C
I'm
not
disagreeing
at
all
with
the
accounts,
I'm
just
saying
that
in
addition
to
that,
I
think
I'm
suggesting
that
our
parks
not
just
folk
and
highwind
but
all
of
our
small
little
parks
and
there's
a
fair
number
of
them-
could
use
a
little
more
care
and
investing
a
little
more
money
is
not
such
a
bad
thing.
Hence
the
reason
why
I
have
this
proposal
before
you
for
monday
night
to
hire
a
landscape
contractor
to
cover
the
city
for
the
summer.
I
N
L
M
Yeah,
the
the
the
so
this
will
be
clear.
I
mean
we
don't
do
permitting
or
licensing
of
the
parks.
Right
I
mean
we,
we
just
clean
up
the
masses,
so
so
the
omar
who
who
works
for
forbidden,
I
mean
he
he
he
is
working
hard
at
developing
these
relationships.
Right,
I
mean
in
vogue
park
in
particular.
I
know
he
he's
been
there.
The
last
two
sundays
I
mean,
but
I
don't
think
he
his
full-time
job
is
to
be
at
at
world
park
or
highland
park.
M
C
I
guess
I
don't
want
to
be
laboring
and
I'm
I'm
not
I'm
not
committed
to
recommending
to
you
a
parks
division.
I
it
is
something
in
my
mind.
I've
had
conversations
with
the
commissioner
about
it,
but
in
my
prior
life,
when
there
was
a
event
at
a
field,
the
parks
division
of
dbw
showed
up
on
overtime
and
when
that
event
was
done,
they
cleaned
up
the
field
so
that
on
the
monday
morning,
it
didn't
look
like
a
bomb
hit.
K
C
Look
it
I've.
I've
been
here
six
years
and
I
haven't
proposed
it
yet
so
I
have
as
much
I'm
not
putting
the
blame
on
the
council.
You
know
it
took
the
light
has
dawned
on
me
the
last
year
or
so
that
you
know
this
is
maybe
an
area
that
needs
a
little
more
attention
than
I
have
been
prepared
to
give
it.
But
it
is
something
now
that
I'm
really
thinking
about.
A
O
A
Surely
this
you
know
the
the
the
contract
that
we
have
with
roka
they
don't
they
don't
do
have
anything
to
do
with
that
area.
So
it
has
to
beg
the
question
of.
Why
is
it
that
a
park
that
is
as
used
as
any
other
park,
except
for
activity
except
for
you
know,
field
use,
ends
up
looking,
I
would
say
in
a
much
better
shape
come
monday
morning,
whatever
day
of
the
week,
then
there
are
other
places.
Well,
you
know,
what's
the
what's
the
difference
here,
but.
A
P
They
actually
have
their
own
resource
there
available
and
that
they
don't
have
to
worry
about
any
other
part,
so
it
gives
them
easy
graph
on
it.
Now,
in
some
of
the
other
parts,
is
that
you
can
say
over
by
eastern
half
in
vogue
park
on
highland
park,
it's
what
people
believe
they
can
get
away
with
right,
so
if
they
believe
they
can
get
away
with
what
they
get
away
with
whether
it's
drinking
in
the
park,
leaving
the
evidence
behind
and
no
repercussion
to
get
away
with
it.
P
M
And
it's
also
like
when
you
walk
mario
o'malley,
it's
always
clean
right,
so
so
so
it
it
throwing
trash
there.
It
you
you
feel
worse
than
than
and
if
you're
walking
by
you
know
one
of
our
streets
and
and
there's
litter
all
over
right
right
so
so
to
to
answer
the
the
council's
president's
question
is
in
terms
of
usage.
M
You
know,
highland
park
sees
sees
sees
probably
3,
000
people
you
know
on
on
a
saturday
I
mean
if
you
go
there
on
a
saturday,
I
mean
the
entire
soccer
field.
It's
full
of
people
right
I
mean,
and
you
know
the
rook
is
not
coming
on
the
weekends
right
and
we
only
have
you
know
typically,
four
guys
who
are
working
half
a
day
right
and
and
we've
told
them.
You
know,
focus
on
the
downtown
right.
M
H
Highland
park
belongs
to
my
district
and
I
actually
have
been
going
over
there
on
mondays,
and
I
went
a
couple
of
times
from
cleaning
up
myself
and
then
what
counselor
taylor
said
is
people
drinking
and
urinating
right
on
the
side
and
actually
counselor
cooper,
and
I
got
couple
calls
last
week:
people
are
defecating
and
enough
on
the
field.
So
imagine
you
mentioned
people
drinking,
never
mind
going
to
the
pattern
right
and
there.
What
we
need
to
do
is
we
need
to
enforce.
H
We
need
to
do
something
tom,
maybe
once
in
a
while
on
a
saturday
or
sunday,
maybe
have
a
police
officer
go
by
there.
So
have
some
presence,
so
people
can
see
that
we
are
very
serious
on
this,
not
only
on
drinking
and
doing
all
the
activities
there,
and
I
I
think
we
we
talked
about
this
before
they
probably
did
it
a
couple
of
times,
and
that
was
said.
H
H
I
go
there
all
the
time
and,
and
I
see
what
they
do
drinking
lip
trash
everywhere.
I
actually
was
gonna.
I
was
gonna
ask
fidel
if
they
could
remove
the
dumpster
there
that
is
in
in
that
area,
because
what
I
see
is
contractors
throwing
debris
in
there.
It's
not
really
for
the
for
the
park
for
the
or
the
users
for
people
who
go
there
and
make
trash
and
just
dump
it.
There
now
actually
trucks.
H
A
M
M
F
Council
is,
I
will
mention
to
you,
as
I
did
on
monday
night,
when
cheryl
watson
was
here
on
the
judgments
line,
that
this
is
also
a
line
that
we
have
the
legal
right
to
go
into
deficit
on,
however,
we'll
be
approaching
you
with
a
deficit
expenditure
request
of
about
300
000
for
this
line.
So
next
week,
you'll
get
all
of
the
orders.
We
were
asking
for
approvals
to
supplement
for
our
deficit
lines.
The
judgments
line
is
one
of
those.
The
snow
and
ice
is
another
and
there'll
be
a
couple
of
others
as
well.
M
I
think
we
we
mentioned
to
to
the
council
that
we,
we
have
extended
the
the
contract
with
with
with
what
was
russell
for
one
more
year.
So
so
our
trash
contract
is
is
now
up
on
july,
1st
of
2020
2023
22
22.,
and
we
were
able
to
keep
keep
that
increase
at
three
percent.
But
this
covers
two
components:
one
is
the
the
hauling
which
is
the
the
trash
company
and
then
the
the
disposal,
which
is
resco
we
liberator.
M
The
the
other
line,
is,
is
the
public
works
program
so
that
that
line
has
been
funded?
You
know
for
for
many
many
years
it
was
started
by
by
by
city
manager
ash
as
a
way
to
to
to
pre-op.
You
know
the
the
city
where
we're
we're
really
trying
to
focus
on
these
efforts.
Whether
it's
is
the
welcome
to
to
chelsea
science.
I'm
sure
you
all
saw
the
the
planters
on
broadway
we're.
M
We
are
trying
to
encourage
residents
to
to
to
do
plantings
in
front
of
their
houses
like
we're,
we're
going
to
launch
a
a
micro
gardens
effort
this
summer,
and
so
we're
we're
asking
for
the
council
to
to
fund
that
at
a
higher
level.
In
order
to
to
to
expand
our
our
beautification
efforts
in
chelsea.
A
M
No
labor
do
we
can't
we
cannot
pay
for
labor
out
of
out
of
this
line,
so
so
it's
all
gonna
be
either
purchases
at
home.
Depot
like
like
the
flowers
that
we
we
purchased
last
weekend
were
all
bought
from
from
home
depot.
It's
gonna
be
for
materials
like
wood.
You
know
to
to
make
the
planters
it's
gonna
be
for
things
like
signage.
M
You
know
it's
gonna,
be
the
for
painting
supplies,
for
example,
the
the
cet,
the
community
engagement
team
planted
the
area
at
the
end
of
my
borough,
so
we
supply
them
with
with
with
with
the
materials
and
and
they
do
all
all
the
work.
So
that's
one
example
where,
where
we're
being
proactive
and-
and
I
really
think
that
that
is
creating
that
that
engagement
where
people
are
going
are
going
to
start
to
to
to
take
ownership
in
the
process.
A
Is
there
a
greater
detail
that
could
provide
a
scope
of
what's
limited
because
it
just
seems
it's
a
big
jump
from
the
actual
expenditure
of
eighteen
five
to
sixty
thousand,
so
just
would
like
to
have
a
better
idea
of
the
limitations
or
actual
restrictions
on
that.
What
that
can
be
used
for
quickly.
I
didn't
see
under
what,
under
what
budget
is
the
arrow
contract
for
the
street
sweeping
the.
A
M
M
G
M
A
Program,
I'm
sorry
street,
so
maintenance
city-wide
is
again
street
sweeper
program.
The
adopted
budget
21
was
610,
it
was
497
actual
expenditure
and
we're
going
up.
Another
50
000
is
that
because
there's
an
increase
in
the
contract
with
arrow
or
other
costs
or
expenditures
are
used
is
only
is
that
city-wide
maintenance
only
arrow.
M
No,
it's
not
so
so
that
the
the
maintenance
city-wide
line
it
it's
a
catch-all
for
us,
so
so
the
the
the
contract
with
with
ro
sweeping
that
they
do
all
street
sweeping
in
in
in
the
city
of
chelsea.
It's
it's!
It's
a
three-year
contract.
That's
advertised
publicly
publicly
procured,
it's
a
205
thousand
dollars
a
year,
two
hundred
and
five
thousand
dollars
a
year,
so
two
hundred
five
thousand
dollars
out
of
that
six
hundred
and
seventy
two
thousand
dollars
is
street.
M
A
F
G
A
Okay,
not
a
problem.
No
again,
I'm
looking
at
the
expenditure,
I'm
looking
at
what
the
request
is,
I'm
seeing
a
large
difference
there,
and
just
I
maybe
there's
something:
that's
going
to
be
unexpected
or
planned
for
this
year
that
wasn't
in
the
past
other
more
line
painting.
I
don't
I
again.
I
don't
know
what
it
is,
but
I
just
seen
that
there
seems
to
be
a
large
jump.
M
Yeah,
keep
in
mind
that
that
you'll
you'll
see
a
trend
in
in
all
of
of
of
y20
right
I
mean
we,
we
shut
down
in
march
of
of
of
20
20
20.,
so
I
mean
so
you
know
we.
We,
we
essentially
pulled
all
the
guys
off
the
road
you
know
and
all
contractors
of
the
road
right.
So
so
we
lost
one
quarter
of
a
year
in
fy,
20.,
okay,.
M
G
L
Family
had
a
rubbish
company
that,
every
day
the
inspector
before
our
trucks
could
go
out
in
the
city
of
boston,
they
would
come
and
have
us
open
up
every
truck
to
make
sure
there
was
nothing
on
there
that
the
city
would
be
charged
for
sure.
I
just
think
it
should
be
a
good
practice
for
us
to
be
able
to
figure
that
out.
We
don't
know
if
they
are
coming
here
and
if
the
truck
is
half-loaded
or
not
loaded,.
L
M
And
for
the
sake
of
time
I
mean
the
you'll
see
a
similar,
similar
scenario
there,
with,
with
with
salaries
no
increase
in
the
in
the
expense
line.
The
the
major
components
are
our
building
maintenance.
As
you
all
know,
we
we
have
an
older
stock
of
buildings
that
that
need
constant
attention,
so
we
we
are
requesting
for
for
additional
funds
there
and
it's
a
similar
picture
for
for
the
rest
of
the
items.
A
Obviously,
it's
it's
not
this
crew.
I
wouldn't
imagine
that
it's
just
this
crew
here
that
is
doing
the
tower
are
they
is,
it
is,
are
those
those
aren't
city,
those
aren't
city
employees
out
there?
No,
but
I'm
just
curious
as
to
the
you
have
leads
craftsman
and
then
three
craftsmen.
So
what
is
the
the
regular
salaries
is
of
the
three
individuals
or
four
individuals
I
take
it
so
on.
M
O
M
He
he
keeps
the
the
buildings
running
and
then
we
have
two
more
people
who
who
are
hired
at
the
moment
and
we
do
have
an
opening,
and
so
we
do
a
lot
of
the
the
the
light
maintenance
in-house
right.
So
when,
when
we
are
painting
an
office
when
we
are
replacing
a
carpet
things
like
that,
when
we
are
are
doing,
you
know
simple
renovations,
we
we
do
it
all
in
house
the
the
senior
center.
M
I
I
encourage
you
to
to
stop
in.
We
where
we
are,
are
painting
the
entire
building,
so
so
from
from
handrails.
You
know
to
to
walls,
we're
changing
all
all
the
toilet,
fixtures
in-house
we're
doing
all
the
floors
in-house,
and
I
believe
that
it
it's
a
very
good
good
use
of
these
funds
when
we
typically
contract
out
work
that
requires
a
more
more
complex
renovation.
M
A
M
F
M
M
A
And
where
I
I
don't
know,
there
was
a
discussion
about
the
number
of
greeters.
I
noticed
the
greetings
are
here
so
we're.
Maintaining
two
greeters
is
that
the
same
amount
that
we
had
pre-covered
when
we
were
had
city
hall
closed
and
now
when
we
expect
to
go
back
to
not
having
to
keep
the
door
locked
and
just
having
an
open
door
policy
is,
is
the
the
two
part-time
greeters?
Is
that
the
same
amount
that
we
had
pre-covered,
which
we
expect
to
have
so.
M
So
pre-covered
we
had
two
employees
and
it
was
barbara
and
and
kitty
lisa.
You
know
the
the
greeters
we
we
started
this
program
two
years
ago
now
and-
and
I
recall
when,
when
I
started
here,
you
will
see
residents,
you
know,
wandering
the
halls
right
and
and
looking
for
for
how
to
pay
a
ticket
right.
So
so
I
think
that
the
greeters,
in
particular
in
the
time
of
covet,
have
have
really
shown
their
value
right.
M
I
mean
they're
outside
they're
they're,
engaging
residents,
they're
they're,
helping
out
with
the
forms,
and
so
so
two
two
of
those
greeters
are
are
permanently
funded.
There
is
is,
is,
is
one
additional
greeter,
the
jocelyn
who
who
is
funded
out
of
the
the
coveted
line,
but
that
is
going
to
be
a
temporary
hire
and
we'll
we'll
determine
that.
We
will
terminate
that
at
some
point
this
summer.
P
M
C
Yes,
they
don't
they're
not
entitled
to
any
benefits.
They're
less
than
20
hour
a
week,
employees
and,
as
fidel
said,
we
do
have
a
third
one.
That's
funded
through
covet
funds
that
will
eventually
those
funds
will
dry
up.
But
I'd
like
to
keep
the
third
person
around
for
just
a
little
bit,
at
least
through
the
summer.
They,
as
fidel
said
I,
I
think,
they've
been
extremely
helpful
to
people
coming
into
city
hall.
C
F
O
R
The
majority
funds
is
water
enterprise
fund,
which
covers
the
water
distribution
system
and
and
the
job
of
that
system
is
to
deliver
drinking
water
and
support
firefighting
efforts
and
then
the
other.
The
other
fund
is
the
sewer
enterprise
fund,
which
covers
our
combined
sewer
and
drainage
systems,
and
that
system
is
responsible
for
collecting
all
the
wastewater
and
stormwater
runoff
and
conveying
it
to
deer
island
treatment
plant.
R
We
have
a
combined
sewer
system,
so
that's
a
unique
challenge
to
the
city,
that's
different
than
most
other
communities
more
like
boston,
cambridge
and
somerville
than
than
suburban
communities.
I
guess
so.
I
I
if,
following
the
sort
of
the
the
script
outline
that
we
were
asked
to
prepare
I'll
outline
sort
of
the
the
major
differences
in
the
budget
from
fy
from
fy21
going
into
fy
22.,
so
the
I
guess
to
start
the
the.
R
So
what
I
describe
now
here
for
sewer
basically
is
similar
or
basically
replicates
what
is
listed
in
water.
So
the
the
salary
side
this
year
has
a
budget
increase
of
sixty
three
thousand
eight
hundred
dollars
a
little
over
a
little
over.
Thirteen
thousand
dollars
of
that
represents
the
average
raise
increase
from
from
our
union
contract
negotiations,
and
that
average
raise
is
roughly
2.8
percent.
R
Those
are
limited
in
nature,
but
there
are
some
some
employees
in
the
wsd
group
that
will
get
step
increases
and
that
basically
rounds
out
the
balance
of
the
I'm
sorry.
There's
one
there's
one
other
position,
there's
one
other
increase
and
that's
the
hiring
of
a
construction
manager,
and
that
has
an
inc
that
has
a
adds:
thirty,
seven
thousand
eight
hundred
dollars,
bringing
the
total
salary
increase
in
the
sewer
division
to
63
800.
A
C
Even
with
so
even
rh
white
had
outside
contractors
helping
them,
but
even
with
all
of
that
work
that
we
have
maintained
where
we
have
some,
depending
on
the
size
of
a
pipe,
that's
problematic
that
breaks.
We
will
outsource
some
of
the
work
just
as
rh
white
did,
but
even
just
considering
the
whole
all
of
the
expenditures
we're
making
in
this
we're
still
spending
considerably
less
than
we
were
spending
prior
to
this
takeover.
C
M
What
was
was
the
right
thing
to
do
for
our
community
most
of
the
cities
around
us,
and
certainly
all
the
cities
that
that
we
researched,
handle
the
operations
of
of
water
and
sewer
in-house,
but
but
we
knew
that
that
you
know
we.
We
we
took
over
water,
our
sewer
on
on
july
22nd
of
2020,
so
we
are
just
coming
to
the
first
the
first
year,
so
we
we.
We
certainly
knew
that
that
this
this
question
was
was
going
to
come
up.
M
So
what
what
lou
has
has
prepared?
It
is
basically
it's
basically
a
a
snapshot
right.
So
when,
when
we
came
to
you
with
this
proposal,
we
provided
you
know
the
the
spreadsheet
that
was
was
part
of
that
process.
In
that
spreadsheet,
we
we
committed
to
to
to
being
335
thousand
dollars
lower
than
than
than
rhy
right.
M
So
fortunately,
or
or
unfortunately,
covert,
19
hit
and
and
we
had
to
actually
cut
lower
so
so
the
initial
proposal
included
the
the
hiring
of
13
individuals
with
with
kobe
19
happening.
Our
city
manager
obviously
came
to
us
and
said
hey.
This
is
not
possible,
so
we
we
we
cut
that
down
and
in
fy
29,
I'm
sorry
in
fy21
we
we
started
up
our
water
and
sewer
operation,
essentially
with
with
three
employees
down
right.
M
So
in
fy
21
in
fy
20,
we
were
able
to
to
to
reduce
the
the
the
potential
increase
to
our
water
and
sewer
rates
to
one
percent
at
the
request
of
the
council
right.
So
so
you,
you
clearly
stated
that
you
know
the
the
the
water
rates
we're
going
to
up
up
too
high.
We,
we
throttled
that
down
to
one
percent
in
fy
21,
with
with
cover
19.
M
We
we
kept
everything
at
a
zero
right,
so
so
so
the
the
the
water
rates
for
for
fy20
and
fy21
were
incredibly
low
in
fy
22.
You
have
the
communication
in
front
of
you
that
that
that
is
going
to
keep
the
the
water
rates
significantly
lower
of
an
increase
than
than
than
it
would
have
been
if
we
had.
If
we
had
kept
rh
white.
M
So
we
we
had
one
injury
and-
and
it
was
wigberto
correa
who
he
was
actually
injured
around
christmas
time,
so
so
it
was
actually
the
the
we
received
a
call
from
the
the
chelsea
housing
authority
that
one
of
their
manholes
was
was
backed
up.
You
know,
and,
and-
and
us
being,
you
know
being
helpful-
we
said
absolutely
we'll
be
right
there,
even
though
it
was
it
was
the
day
before
the
holiday
wiggy
was
with
rh
white.
M
So
so
he
was
with
with
our
for
a
long
time
he's
a
chelsea
resident
he's
on
addison
street,
so
he
he
he
operated
the
vac
truck
for
for
many
years
before
rhy.
He
you
know
with
he.
He
was
hurrying
up.
It
was
before
a
holiday
and
and
and
the
the
hose
for
the
vac
truck
basically
got
loose
on
in
his
hands
and
and
it
whacked
his
his
leg.
He
he
received
a
lasting
laceration.
M
M
So
the
the
you
know
to
be
extremely
blunt:
counselor
we
when,
when
we
took
over
you,
know
and
rh
white
left
the
building.
If
you
will,
we
found
a
lot
of
band-aids,
so
we
right,
we
found
a
lot
of
issues
that
that
that
had
been
either
band-aid.
You
know
or
or
or
pushed
aside
for
a
capital
project
right.
M
So
so
I
would
say
that
in
the
last
last
12
months
we
have
done
more
than
we
have
in
the
past,
so
I
mean
so
and-
and
I
think
our
you
know-
you've
heard
from
if
you're
over
whether
it
was
on
sagamore
avenue.
You
know
a
major
project
on
everett
avenue
on
addison
street,
on
on
tremont
the
other
day.
We
we
essentially
received
a
call
about
a
a
sewer
line
being
backed
up
and
instead
of
of
making
a
you
know,
a
band-aid.
M
P
C
M
So
so
the
the
the
one
thing
that
it
it
it
really
slowed
us
down
on
was
was
water
meters.
So
so
we
had
a
very,
very
aggressive
plan
to
to
to
upgrades
all
of
our
water
meters
in
in
the
city,
but
with
with
covet.
Obviously
we
we
didn't
want
to
go
in
into
the
homes
of
residents,
so
so
we
from
the
month
of
of
maybe
you
know,
april,
of
2020
to
to
maybe
february
of
of
21.
M
I
I
So
part
of
this
of
the
goals
and
initiatives
is
to
is
to
replace
re,
replace
the
sewer
where
you
know
there
wasn't
a
lot
of
you
said
you
found
a
lot
of
band-aids
and-
and
you
know
not
much
was
done
for
for
decades
in
this,
and
so
this
was
one
of
the
major
challenges.
I
think
that
you
guys
were
facing
as
far
as
basically
not
having
you
know
a
big
problem
with
pi
with
pipe
big
pipes
or
whatever
it
is.
So
can
you
just?
Can
you
just?
I
R
So
I
I
think
it
may
be
difficult
to
give
you
the
exact
answer
that
that
you're
looking
for,
but
what
I
would
say
is
everything
related
to
infrastructure
is
based
upon
life
cycle
of
the
asset
and
of
the
your
sort
of
level
of
service.
That's
expected
right
and
we
have
a
city
that
has
essentially
80
or
90
of
the
pipes
underground
have
no
useful
life
left
they're.
R
You
know
they're
over
100
years
old
right
and
that
number's
actually
probably
more
like
80,
because
there
has
been
a
fair
amount
of
capital
projects
that
have
been
done
say
in
the
last
20
years,
but
there
was
a
gap
in
time
from
say,
1945
to
1995,
where
virtually
nothing
was
done.
I
think
the
only
major
infrastructure
for
water
or
sewer
was
right
after
the
fire
in
1973
and
the
city
went
around
and
installed
a
whole
kind
of
series
of
fire
loops.
R
R
R
You
know
a
lot
of
things
were
just
o
m
driven
and
things
just
weren't
getting
done,
and
so
rh
white
comes
in
and
you
know
pretty
much
save
the
water
and
sewer
operation,
and
you
know
they
deserve
a
lot
of
credit
and
the
receiver
understood
what
that
need
to
be
done.
And
that
really
was
a
great
contract
for
the
first
10
years.
R
R
R
So
the
city
was
paying
to
design
and
construct
projects
that
essentially
made
rh
white's
work
go
down,
but
the
price
didn't
go
down
right
right.
The
other
aspect
of
it
was
as
alex
was
talking
about
previously
was
revitalization
of
the
city,
so
things
like
building
a
hotel
or
you
know,
fixing
something
that
was
dilapidated.
R
R
One
of
the
challenges
when
I
got
here
working
with
fidel
was
to
try
to
figure
out
what's
the
next
capital
project,
but
there
was
no
road
map
and
that
basically
led
to
us
developing
master
plans
for
combined
sewer
separation
and
water
infrastructure,
and
we've
basically
been
following
those
and
now
we've
merged
those
into
other
initiatives
like
reimagining,
broadway
or
beecham
and
williams.
You
know
places
where
we
get
money
from
outside
right
and
we
take
some
of
our
own
money
inside
and
merge
the
ideas
of
a
plan
and
so
to.
R
I
guess
I
want
to
frame
that
because
that's
the
approach
that
we
take
every
day
is:
is
we're
not
just
doing
this
by
throwing
dots
at
a
board?
If
there's
a
plan
in
terms
of
how
you
spend
money
and
where
you
spend
it,
you've
got
to
think
of
those
that
life
cycle
we
we
will
never
be
able
to
get
caught
up
on
life
cycle
at
the
rate
that
we're
going
we
would
have
to.
R
Those
are
the
things
that
that
drive
us
in
terms
of
percentages,
which
I
think
comes
back
to
your
original
question
is
roughly,
can
you
I
would
say
roughly
70
of
the
city
is
still
served
by
combined
sewers
and
that
largely
exists
in
two
very,
very
three
very
critical
areas.
Each
one
of
them
has
a
combined
sewer
overflow
and
those
are
the
areas
where
we're
focusing
our
largest
effort.
So
we
can
knock
those
areas
down,
but
it's
not
just
you
know.
R
We
want
to
close
all
those
csos
and
we
want
to
take
that
number
of
say
you
know
70
and
try
to
get
it
down
to
somewhere
around
50.
And
then
we
have
a
managed
program
over
the
next
say,
30
to
40
years
to
get
everything
else
as
the
life
cycle
and
as
the
money
kind
of
affords,
without
making
the
water
and
sewer
rates
go
through
the
roof.
Okay,
so.
I
Let
me
follow
up
on
that
that
did
answer
the
question
and
it
gave
a
lot
of
context
to
what
exactly
is
going
on
and
why
okay,
so
I
guess
my
next
my
next
question,
because
I
I
actually
you
know
I
think
about
this
sometimes
about
you
know
what
what's
going
to
go
wrong
at
the
city.
You
know
like
what
are
we
in
danger
of
and
what
do
we
need
to?
You
know
it's
a
triage
of
problems
right,
so
you
know
when
we
I
think,
spoke
last
year.
I
It
was
it
was
like
this
is
a
pretty
major
problem
that
we
could,
you
know,
have
flare-ups
here
or
there.
We
never
know
what
we're
going
to
do.
So
we
got
to
get
on
this
and
and
try
to
get
it
taken
care
of.
So
we
don't
have
you
know
some
catastrophe
happen
or
or
you
know,
I
guess
what
I'm
asking
is.
Is
that
at
what
point
do
you
think,
in
your
best
estimation,
that
we're
going
to
kind
of
reduce
our
risk
of
of
these
things
happening.
M
Yes,
so
so,
oh
since,
since
1996
I
mean
the
the
the
city
of
chelsea
has
has
done
a
lot
of
work
right,
so
so
in
the
in
the
last
five
years,
we've
done
even
more
work,
whether
it's
maverick
street
or
or
highland
or
essex.
You
know
shirtless,
whether
it
it's
it's
one
mile
worth
a
pipe
on
broadway
that
that's
that's
100
years
old
right
I
mean
so
so
to
to
to
lose
earlier's
point
I
feel
like
I
feel,
like
you
know.
M
If
we
continue
to
spend
to
the
level
that
we're
spending
20
20
30
is
is
the
year
where
I'm
saying,
okay,
you
know
we've
closed
our
csos,
the
the
older
pipe
you
know
are
our
the
fires
are
out.
You
know
what
I
mean
we'll
we'll
we'll
continue,
of
course,
because
what
what
lou
was
was
speaking
to
earlier
is
is
a
50-year
plan
right
so
that
that's
that's
more,
like
you
know,
like
yeah,.
R
M
R
Two
months
before
the
contractor
for
a
capital
project
mobilized
to
beechum
street,
we
had
a
sewer
collapse
on
beecham
street.
We
had
our
emergency
repair
contractor
go
out
and
instead
of
fixing
a
small
piece,
they
realized.
This
thing
is
in
trouble
manhole
to
manhole,
so
we
replaced
it
manhole
to
manhole
the
money
that
we
spent.
There
is
money
that
we
won't
spend
rehabilitating
that
section
manhole
to
manhole
on
that
capital
project.
In
the
past,
the
city
had
no
capacity
to
do
that,
not
not
not
not
in
a
way
that
would
be
able.
R
We
would
be
able
to
do
it
quickly
and
efficiently
and
certainly
not
in
a
corridor
like
that,
but
because
we've
taken
a
different
approach
to
managing
it.
In
other
words,
instead
of
writing
a
big
fat
check
and
having
low
accountability
to
a
private
for-profit
operation,
we
brought
it
in-house
and
we
staffed
it
with
people
who
care
more
and
we've,
and
we
put
other
tools
in
place
to
do
that.
And
I
think
that's
really
that's
a
that's
a
big
part
of.
What's
what?
L
Now
was
there
any
bills
that
came
in
after
we
took
over
the
contract
and
will
that
affect
our
bottom
line,
and
should
I
be
expecting
some
bill
to
surface
either
at
the
end
of
june
or
somewhere
in
july
that
we
have
to
go
back
and
pay
x
amount
of
dollars,
because
a
bill
showed
up
that
we
didn't
anticipate
or
count
on
that
was
old
to
the
previous
contract.
So.
M
Just
just
just
recently,
maybe
two
months
ago,
we
we
got
in
writing
from
the
the
cfo
of
rhy
that
that
no
no
further
liabilities
were
were
all
too
rh
wide.
There
is
one
exception,
and-
and
that
is
a
as
part
of
the
the
buyout
we
we
we
worked
out-
that
the
the
the
last
200
000
of
the
buyout
was
was
going
to
be
given
in
in
very
small
monthly
amounts
right
and-
and
that
was
to
you
know,
to
to
keep
them
in
the
in
the
game.
L
R
L
Well,
I
I
I
understand
that
point,
but
when
you
say
that
we
were
going
to
initially
save
350
000
and
then
now
we're
going
to
jerryman,
you
know
x
amount
of
dollars
over
the
next
two
years.
That
doesn't
show
me
that
we
actually
saved
the
amount
of
money
that
we
said
we
were
going
to
save
in
the
first
year
and
you
know,
and
if
I'm
wrong
then
explain
it
to
me.
C
A
M
So
the
mwara
is
all
over
this,
actually
it
and
they
they
have.
They
have
have
issued
many
many
calming
statements
if
you
will
so
so.
Ultimately,
the
the
responsibility
of
water
quality
for
for
chelsea,
revere,
everett
boston-
I
mean
it.
It
falls
on
on
the
mw
array,
so
so
they
we
are
required
to
to
to
test
weekly.
For
that
right
I
mean,
and
and
that's
publicly
available
data
I
mean
and
they're
working
really
hard
to
to
make
sure
that
the
water
quality
of
their
water
is
good.
Okay,.
R
The
nwra
has
a
substantial
capacity
to
be
able
to
provide,
and,
as
things
like
cso
sewer
separation
continues.
It's
going
to
free
up
capacity
at
deer,
island
wastewater
treatment
plant
in
terms
of
the
the
reservoir
and
the
storage
there's
something
like
six
years
worth
of
average
daily
demand
in
those
reservoirs.
In
other
words,
if
it
didn't
rain
for
six
years,
the
water
would
still
show
up
in
downtown
boston.
So
they
have
plenty
of
capacity
to
sell.
R
They
have
growing
capacity
to
treat,
and
so
you
know
that
getting
more
customers
in
their
system
does
make
sense
it.
The
goal
is
to
to
try
to
alleviate
some
of
the
burdens
of
the
member
communities
by
sort
of
making
a
bigger
denominator
and
spreading
it
around,
and
I
think
that's
and
communities
are
starting
to
realize
that
there's
economy
at
scale
by
partnering
up
as
opposed
to
taking
on
the
responsibilities
and
being
starved
for
water
in
these
watersheds
that
don't
have
empowerment
the
way
they
do.
A
A
There's
been
a
dramatic
increase
of
residential
in
and
around
the
boston
area.
So
I'm
wondering
if
that's
actually
the
case
with
their
projections,
that
the
quabon
reservoir
does
in
fact
satisfy
or
is
the
you
know,
can
take
in
the
the
population
or
or
or
rather
satisfy
the
population
requirements
and
have
that
six-year.
A
Back
peck
flow
that
you
say
or
demand
and
can
take
on
four
or
five
more
communities
without
knowing
the
actual
2020
census
numbers.
I'm
just
it's
just
it's
it's.
I
think
they
were
contracting.
There
are
conflicting
numbers
there.
I'm
just
I
mean
I
don't
want
to
delve
into
it.
It's
not
a
budget
number,
but
it's
just
a
side
side
discussion
to
say,
wait
a
minute.
A
R

It's
we're,
they're
open
for
business
and
in
terms
of
the
rates
and
things
like
that,
it's
it's
a
zero-sum
game.
It's
the
cost
of
their
operation,
divided
by
how
many
gallons
of
water
they
sell.
And
so
you
know
we
went
up
this
year,
partly
because
other
communities
went
down
so
we're
expanding
where
you
know
chelsea's
growing
in
population
and
units,
and
so
so
is
our.
So
is
our
assessment,
because
it's
a
zero-sum
game:
it's
they
take
a
pie
and
they
slice
it
up
and
we're
we're.
R
J
G
A
A
B
I
F
36,
this
is
the
legislative
budget.
The
percent
of
change
is
showing
zero,
and
that
is
because
the
change
is
.01
percent.
There's
a
twenty
four
dollar
difference.
If
you
look
at
the
adopted
budget
for
fy
twenty
one,
it's
two
thirty,
eight
seven,
forty
six,
while
the
proposed
budget
is
two
thirty,
eight
seven,
twenty
two,
it's
gone
down
twenty
four
hours.
F
The
reason
for
that
I
had
mentioned
last
night
that
there
are
53
weeks
in
fiscal
21
and
in
some
budgets
that
will
be
more
pronounced
when
we
break
that
out
into
52
weeks
this
year
than
another
budget.
So
this
is
one
of
the
budgets
that
it
is
very
pronounced
we
have.
If
you
look
on
page
37,
you
have
fourteen
thousand
dollars
for
the
eleven
councillors
last
year
was
fourteen
thousand
two
hundred
and
seventy.
So
the
two
hundred
270
times
11
offsets
the
two
increases
that
both
paul
and
fatima
have
so
it's
it's
accurate.
F
The
rest
stays
the
same
and
you
also
fund
in
your
professional
services
line
the
outside
audit.
That's
done
every
year,
and
so
that's
wrapping
up
very
soon.
I
think
the
kafir.
I
will
have
a
final
on
that
sometime
next
week
and
the
other
reports
are
forthcoming.
They've
been
delayed
this
year
as
a
result
of
covid.
F
The
independent
auditor
has
had
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and
we've,
given
him
everything
that
we
were
able
to
give
him
so
he's
almost
finished.
We
had
to
ask
our
funding
authorities
for
some
extensions,
and
we
received
those
state
of
massachusetts
had
a
number
of
communities
that
asked
for
extensions,
so
they
all
went
through
without
any
issues.
E
F
I
don't
think
that's
final,
yet
we
have
preliminary
information
that
we
received
back
in
april,
so
we
still
need
to
get
some
final
numbers
there.
In
addition,
the
school
department
has
told
us
that
there
are
three
students
that
will
be
enrolling
in
other
regional
schools.
The
medford
tech
has
one
student,
the
essex
agricultural
has
one
on
on
a
wait
list
and
the
third
we
were
notified
of
a
week
ago
was
a
minuteman
tech
that
one
person
one
student
will
be
enrolled
in,
so
those
three
costs
have
not
yet
been
finalized.
C
My
recommendation
is
appropriate.
This
amount
it's
possible
next
spring.
We
might
have
to
come
back
for
an
adjustment
if
you
know,
but
even
the
northeast
number
is
likely
to
change
in
the
final
state
budget
because
they
always
get
a
little
more
money
in
the
house
and
senate.
So
this
number
is
not
likely
to
be
exact,
and
but
I
just
don't
know
what
it'll
be.
This
is
the
best
guesstimate
based
on
what
northeast
gave
us
in
april.
So
if
we
appropriate
this,
we'll
be
close
enough,
it's
possible
next
june,
we
could
come
to
you
with
an.
G
C
And
this
is
just
these:
are
the
numbers
right
off
the
governor's
cherry
sheet
proposal,
so
the
top
part
of
expenses
has
stayed
the
same
and
will
stay
the
same.
I
assume
in
the
house
and
senate
version.
It's
this
bottom
piece.
That's
going
to
change
the
charter,
school
assessments
and
the
school
choice.
Assessment
will
change
and
we
won't
know
those
final
numbers
until
the
final
state
budget
is
approved.
C
But
what
will
happen
is
what
has
happened
here
for
the
last
three
or
four
years,
which
is
when
the
final
state
budget
gets
approved.
It's
likely
that
the
school
department
will
have
more
money,
and
so
they
will
come
to
you
with
a
request
for
a
supplemental
appropriation
in
september
to
cover
what
additional
money
they're
getting
from
chapter
70
net
of
changes
to
school
assessments
and
they'll.
C
Ask
you
to
appropriate
that
it
will
have
no
effect
on
our
bottom
line,
because
it
will
all
be
based
on
new
chapter
70
money
that
they
got
in
either
the
house
or
senate
version
of
the
final
state
budget.
So
I
expect
in
september
the
hou
the
school
department
will
be
before
you.
I
don't.
I
expect
the
numbers
going
gonna
be
around
six
seven
hundred
thousand.
I
think
the
house
numbers
they
ended
up
with
about
six
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
more
net.
C
No,
we
do
get
we're
covered
by,
I
think
middlesex
mosquito
control,
believe
it
or
not
and
they
do
work
in
the
city.
They
do
the
catch
basins
and
they
do
they
don't
really
do
spraying
here,
maybe
rarely,
but
I
have.
I
haven't
really
seen
it
in
my
tent
tenure,
but
they
do
the
catch
basin
work.
So
that's
our
assessment.
A
C
A
very
specific
reason
for
that
that
I
know,
but
I
can't
remember
what
it
is,
but
you
get
assessed
for
some
work
that
the
rmv
does
to
mock
licenses
and
it
helps
us
because,
when
they're
mocked,
people
have
to
be
driven
here
to
pay
their
bills,
and
but
they
charge
you
for
that
service.
And
this
is
a
number
that
I
think
fluctuates
based
on.
How
many
marketings.
A
C
I
don't
think
so,
and
then
I
there's
a
couple
of
ways
you
can
some
oddball
ways
that
you
can
maneuver
your
way
out
of
this,
but
it's
hard
and
so
most
of
the
time.
We
benefit
greatly
from
this,
as
every
sitting
does
from
this
mocking
system,
because
when
they
go
to
get
a
license,
renewal
or
point
renewal.
J
L
G
C
This
is
this
requires
a
whole
lengthy
conversation
with
the
council.
At
some
point,
I
included
it
in
my
financial
projections.
If
you
looked
at
my
powerpoint
that
I
sent
you
to
look
through
it,
it's
one
of
these.
You
know
things
to
worry
about
in
the
future,
so
right
at
the
so,
unfortunately
I
I
have
no
doubt
that
this
school
is
going
to
be
approved.
C
So
if
you
are
like
a
place,
I
don't
want
to
pick
on
every
but
a
place
like
winchester
that
sends
ten
kids
there
for
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Those
ten
kids
are
going
to
go
to
a
brand
new
state-of-the-art
facility.
So
for
them
that's
a
great
deal.
We'll
give
you
an
extra
100
and
not
10
15
kids,
but
for
chelsea
they
project.
So
this
is
a
317
million
dollar
facility.
C
C
And
a
f-
and
I
don't
have
a
solution
yet,
but
it's
certainly
on
everyone's
radar
that
there's
got
to
be
a
fix
for
this
problem.
It's
probably
going
to
mean
that
the
state's
going
to
have
to
come
up
with
some
greater
subsidy
than
normal
and
we're
sort
of
saying
look.
You've
got
this
unique
one-time
expenditures
from
the
federal
government.
Here
you've
got
this
federal
infrastructure
bill
coming.
C
Yes,
yes,
yes,
so
we'll
see,
I
mean
that
that
is
a
that
is
a
looming
problem
out
there
that
I
have
identified
in
my
financial
projections.
It
will
likely
first
hit
the
cities
if
a
fall
goes.
I
won't
don't
want
to
say
about
goes
well.
Paul
goes
badly
it
might.
It
likely
could
hit
the
city's
books
in
fy
as
zero
is
fy
24,
but
I
think
more
likely
in
fy25.
C
So
that
is
something-
and
I
will
have-
will
probably
need
to
have
a
special
subcommittee
meeting
on
this.
It's
a
little
early.
The
mass
school
building
authority
is
supposed
to
consider
this
project
for
final
approval,
perhaps
as
early
as
the
end
of
the
summer,
we'll
so
we'll
I'll
keep
an
eye
on
that.
