Following
the
meeting,
we
took
a
recess
and
there
were
threats
that
I
received
from
public
safety
officials
and
that
night
I
went
home
and
I
was
fine,
but
then
I
started
to
think
about
it.
And
thinking
about
the
responsibility.
I
feel
like
I,
owe
to
this
community
and
making
sure
that
I'm
advocating
for
the
most
vulnerable
amongst
us
and
for
me
to
sit
here
and
tolerate
that
type
of
behavior
would
be
to
just
just
allow
it
to
be
and
sweep
it
under
the
rug.
And
that
is
not
why
people
elected
me.
F
F
If
that
were
true
and
he
did
and
there
was
a
lot
of
back-and-forth,
there
was
an
investigation
but
I'm
happy
to
report
that
at
the
end
of
last
year,
I
met
with
the
president
of
the
Union,
our
Brian
Capistrano,
who
has
been
nothing
but
a
class
act
to
this
process
and
we
sat
down
and
we
came
to
a
mediation
and
they
issued
a
public
apology
and
so
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
that
be
known
that
we
are
moving
in
the
right
direction
as
far
as
putting
things
that
letting
bygones
be
bygones
and
moving
forward.
F
However,
when
I
released
that
letter
to
the
Chelsea
record
last
week,
there
was
some
comments
made
by
the
chairman
of
this
council
that
insinuated
that
somehow
those
threats
were
justified
because
I
made
a
mistake
and
as
a
mother
as
a
daughter
and
aren't
a
sister
and
to
all
my
mentees
that
look
up
to
me,
I
feel
that
for
too
long
woman
have
heard
it
is
your
dress.
It
is
your
attitude
that
had
merited
that
rape.
F
It
is
the
way
that
you
spoke
that
merited
that
abuse
and
I,
as
a
woman
in
this
community
cannot
just
let
that
ride
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
acknowledge
that
that
those
sentiments
are
not
reflective
of
this
body
as
a
whole
and
as
long
as
I'm
a
city
councilor
in
this
city,
I
will
continue
to
hold
everyone
accountable.
Quite
frankly,
I
feel
that
those
comments
are
typical
of
abusive,
behavior
and
I.
F
Don't
condone
that,
particularly
from
someone
who
stood
here
a
month
ago
during
a
beautiful
performance
about
how
we
were
working
in
unity
and
and
in
unity
and
in
leadership,
I,
don't
believe
that's
leadership
and
anytime
that
I
see
abuses.
You
best
believe
whether
I'm
on
this
side
of
the
dais
I'm
on
the
other
side,
I'm
going
to
continue
to
call
it
out,
because
our
young
girls
and
our
young
boys
in
this
community
deserve
way
better.
Thank
you.
A
A
B
C
For
State
of
the
City
address
communication
received
from
city
manager
Tom
ever
seen.
Oh
dear
counsels,
I,
am
writing
to
request
that
the
City
Council.
Allow
me
some
time
at
the
upcoming
February
10th
2020
City
Council
meeting
to
provide
a
state
of
the
city
address.
The
address
will
include
a
show
summary
of
work.
We
have
accomplished
and
goals
for
the
year
ahead.
I
expect
the
address
to
be
brief,
lasting
approximately
10
minutes.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
Thank
you.
A
H
H
H
We
are
united
in
our
purpose
and
in
that
time,
that
we're
united
in
our
purpose,
that
overwhelming
majority
of
the
time
we
have
a
pretty
stellar
record
of
accomplishment
in
the
areas
that
I've
long
identified
as
priorities
and
I.
Think
most
councillors
share
that
these
are
priorities
for
the
city,
trying
to
create
opportunities
for
good,
residential
and
commercial
development
in
the
city,
investing
in
our
neighborhoods
and
our
infrastructure
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
in
the
city.
H
Providing
strong
support
for
our
school
system
in
those
areas
of
priority
I
would
say
that
the
progress
we've
made,
particularly
in
the
last
year,
has
been
rather
impressive.
So
just
let's
start
with
residential
development.
I
tell
you
in
2019,
we
had
an
incredibly
productive
year
in
terms
of
approving
residential
development
and
making
a
real
dent
in
our
housing
shortage
in
that
12-month
period.
This
cut
this
city
approved
over
a
thousand
new
residential
units.
That's
certainly
the
most
of
my
tenure
here.
H
H
This
is
the
proposal
before
you
to
do
just
that
by
providing
significant
money
to
move
forward
with
homeownership
opportunities
that
are
affordable
to
residents
in
Chelsea.
My
hope
is
that
you'll
see
the
benefits
of
doing
that
and
then
maybe
a
year
from
now,
or
probably
more
like
two
years
from
now.
The
city
manager
standing
here,
giving
us
state
of
the
city
address,
can
look
back
on
that
as
one
of
the
proud
accomplishments
of
the
20/20
Council
that
it
made
a
real
dent
in
affordable,
homeownership
I
will
say.
H
Our
success
in
2019
wasn't
limited
to
just
residential
development.
We
also
had
a
lot
of
success
in
the
commercial
room,
a
major
and
lucrative
expansion
of
the
Accord,
a
pharmaceutical
facility
on
Velen
Carter
Street,
a
new
hotel
that
opened
the
Fairfield
Inn
on
Beach
Street,
the
acquisition
and
repurposing
of
the
huge
farmer,
Nancy
sale
site
on
Willow
Street,
which
is
about
to
get
a
major
renovation,
and
even
most
recently,
at
the
very
end
of
2019,
the
acquisition
of
the
commercial
office
portfolio
that
currently
exists
between
at
Everett
and
spruce
by
a
major
commercial
developer.
H
Who
has
plans
for
significant
rehabilitation
and
improvement
of
that
area?
I
think
those
are
all
evidence
that
Josie
continues
to
be
a
very
attractive
market
for
commercial
developers
and
I
expect
that
interest
to
continue
into
2020.
So
that's
development,
residential
and
commercial.
How
about
the
priority
of
infrastructure?
Well,
I
think
we've
had
great
success
there
as
well.
H
You
know
one
of
the
things
I'm
most
proud
of
my
tenure
here
in
Chelsea
is
the
commitment
that
we've
collectively
made
as
city
manager
and
councillors
to
take
advantage
of
our
financial
good
health
and
to
put
it
to
work,
to
benefit
the
lives
of
our
residents
and
I
can
tell
you
we
are
in
a
good
financial
position,
even
if
this
council
approves
everything
I
have
before
them
tonight.
My
request
for
money
for
affordable
housing.
My
all
of
my
CIP
proposals.
H
H
Over
and
above
those
reserves,
we
were
just
certified
for
an
additional
12
million
dollars
in
free
cast.
So
we
are
in
good
financial
position
now.
Some
communities
might
just
relish
that
good
fortune
and
put
it
aside
and
save
for
a
rainy
day,
but
here
in
Chelsea
we
together
collectively
made
the
decision.
The
right
decision
in
my
mind,
that
that
good
fortune
needed
to
be
shared
with
the
residents,
and
so
we
spent
the
past
few
years
making
real
significant
investments
in
the
city
to
improve
the
quality
of
life's
life
of
our
residents.
H
We've
invested
in
parks
in
public
works,
public
projects,
streets
sidewalks
from
simple
things
like
putting
decorative
lights
on
the
tower
and
City
Hall
and
holiday
decorations
in
our
downtown
areas
to
really
impactful
things
such
as
the
opening
of
the
new
quoc,
Avenue
middle
school
and
those
kind
of
investments.
That
kind
of
effort
is
going
to
continue
in
2020.
In
fact,
the
council
has
before
tonight
my
request
for
capital
improvement
projects
for
fiscal
year.
2021.
H
Continuing
our
complete
renovation
of
what
I
think
is
a
real
jewel
in
this
city,
the
god--and
cemetery
in
significant
other
improvements
to
school
buildings
and
school
playgrounds,
including
a
brand
new
playground
for
the
Williams
middle
school
complex.
That's
just
a
few
of
the
highlights.
There
are
40-plus
projects
and
that
proposal
and
I
hope
to
spend
some
time
with
the
council
convincing
you
that
all
of
these
improve
significantly
the
quality
of
life
for
our
residents.
H
First
of
all,
starting
tomorrow
night
we're
going
to
be
working
before
the
CBA
to
pre
permit
they
developed
the
redevelopment
of
the
Salvation
Army
site,
creating
four
storeys
of
residential
above
what
I
hope
will
be
an
active
commercial
storefront
as
soon
as
that
permitting
is
approved,
which
I
hope
will
be
in
this
by
the
spring.
We
will
put
that
out
to
market
to
developers
and
I
expect
significant
interest
in
that
property.
H
In
addition,
over
the
next
few
months,
we're
going
to
you're
going
to
see
the
results
of
our
pilot
store
for
an
improvement
program
on
Broadway
we're
gonna
have
five
new
storefronts
on
the
broadway
cara
de
paid
for
by
the
city,
and
I
really
think
it's
gonna
visually
enhance
in
a
real,
powerful
way.
The
look
of
that
car
and
finally,
thanks
to
the
vote
of
the
council
a
month
ago,
we're
gonna
be
implementing
us
major
change
in
traffic.
H
Finally,
the
last
priority
that
I
mentioned
the
school
department.
Actually
it's
the
school
department
where
I
have
the
most
optimism
for
the
upcoming
year.
You
know
the
school
department
benefit
great
benefited
greatly
over
the
past
decade
by
the
extraordinary
leadership
of
Superintendent,
Mary
Burke
and
her
shoes
will
be
very
tough
to
fill.
But
I
know
that
many
who
live
in
the
city
and
care
deeply
about
the
school
department,
including
Mary
Burke
herself,
a
very
confident
that
we
have
selected
an
outstanding
successor
and
dr.
H
Thankfully,
superintendent
Abeyta
is
gonna
have
the
resources
she
needs
to
make
a
difference
here,
mostly
thanks
to
the
efforts
of
many
people
in
this
community.
Elected
officials
advocates
parents
who
advocated
long
and
hard
at
the
state
level
for
education
reform
that
was
finally
signed
into
law
by
the
governor
in
November,
and
that
new
formula
for
urban
districts
is
really
gonna,
mean
significant
financial
resources
for
the
city
of
Chelsea,
spread
out
and
slowly
implemented
over
the
course
of
the
next
seven
years,
but
significant
nonetheless,
and
will
allow
dr.
Abeyta
to
implement
the
programming.
H
She's
gonna
need
to
move
the
city
forward
now.
I
caution
I,
really
caution
that
the
presence
of
this
additional
state
aid,
though
significant
and
long
overdue,
doesn't
mean
that
the
city's
work
is
over.
It
doesn't
mean
that
we
no
longer
have
to
provide
some
financial
support
to
the
school
department.
We
have
to
continue
to
be
a
strong
financial
partner
to
that
system.
H
If
we
want
our
school
system
to
improve
and
toward
that
end,
I'm
gonna
tell
you
that
I'll
be
looking
for
some
financial
support
for
that
system
in
the
very
near
future
to
continue
our
current
collaboration
on
the
Bunker
Hill
tuition
program.
If
you
recall,
for
the
last
two
years
that
program
funded
entirely
by
the
City
Council
has
ensured
that
every
Chelsea
high
school
student
has
the
opportunity
to
get
in
a
two-year
associate's
degree
at
Bunker
Hill,
entirely
free
of
charge.
H
So
shortly,
probably
within
the
next
month
or
so
I'm
going
to
be
sending
an
appropriate
rate
appropriation
request
to
the
council
to
continue
that
program
for
a
third
year
so
that
we
can
continue
to
prod.
We
say
at
least
I'm
always
proud
to
say
that
not
a
single
Chelsea,
High
School
student
has
their
higher
education
dreams
denied
because
of
a
lack
of
money
and
I.
Think
that's
something
that
of
which
we
all
can
be
very
proud.
H
H
In
2020,
it's
going
to
be
critical
for
us
to
have
that
to
reach
our
full
promise
and
potential
in
2020
because
of
two
things
that
demand
strong
civic
participation,
and
that
is
the
city's
Charter
Review
and
the
2020
census.
The
arc
of
the
city's
progress
over
the
next
10
years
is
really
going
to
be
determined
in
large
part
by
the
success
of
those
two
projects
and
as
much
as
government
is
going
to
want
to
help.
Those
two
projects
can
only
be
successful
if
we
have
strong
civic
participation.
H
H
Real
serious
consideration
has
to
be
given
to
the
kind
of
government
that
you
want
here
in
Chelsea
over
the
course
of
the
next
decade
and
there's
no
right
or
wrong
answer
to
that.
There
are
lots
of
different
governing
models
that
municipalities,
utilize
and
there
are
pros
and
cons
to
each
what's
critically
important.
Is
that
whatever
motto
is
determined
to
be
the
right
one
for
Chelsea
be
the
one
that
has
strong
civic
support
and
that
will
require
this
councils
really
ensure
that
the
engagement
of
this
resonance
is
widespread.
H
The
census
I'll
end
with
the
census.
It
really
would
be
hard
for
me
to
overstate
the
importance
of
the
upcoming
2020
census
it
having
an
accurate
count
of
the
city's
residents,
will
mean
over
the
course
of
the
next
decade.
Millions
and
millions
of
dollars
for
the
city
of
Chelsea
but
I
would
also
say
that's
important,
but
there
are
actually
more
than
dollars
just
at
stake.
H
We
need
our
residents
to
have
a
voice
and
in
order
to
have
a
voice,
we
have
to
first
know
that
they're
here
I
think
it's
critically
important
to
us
to
send
the
strong
message
for
this
community
to
send
this
strong
message
that
no
matter
how
or
under
what
circumstances
people
arrived
here
in
Chelsea
they're
not
going
to
be
cowered
into
silence,
and
that
means
they
have
to
stand
up
and
say
loud
and
clear
and
I
apologize
from
my
very
poor
Spanish
idea:
estamos
e
cantamos.
We
are
here
and
we
count
that's
what
we
need.
H
H
I
said
why
I
love
this
community,
so
much
is
that,
despite
our
many
differences,
despite
our
differences
and
they're
real,
but
when
the
cause
is
important,
when
the
need
is
great,
when
the
issue
is
critical,
such
as
those
we
face
here
in
2020,
this
community,
at
least
in
my
tenure
in
my
experience,
has
always
put
aside
its
differences,
stood
United
and
delivered
results
and
I
have
no
doubt
that
that
will
be
the
same
in
2020
and
that
the
state
of
the
city
will
continue
to
be
defined
and
described
as
one
of
remarkable
success.
Thank
you.
C
However,
as
these
individuals
have
proven,
if
people
want
to
get
involved
and
bring
change
in
their
community,
it
can
be
done
now,
therefore
be
resolved
that
we,
the
members
of
the
Chelsea
City
Council,
wish
to
congratulate
Susan
gallant,
Jose,
Herrera,
Linda,
Ileana,
Robertson
and
Beverly
Martin,
Ross,
Celeste,
Williams
and
Patricia
and
Anthony
symbol.
Each
senior
for
their
hard
work
and
efforts
in
making
Chelsea
a
better
place
to
live
and
congratulate
them.
For
receiving
the
Chelsea
Trailblazer
of
2020
award.
G
This
unanimously
on
the
suspension,
I'll
be
very
brief.
I
want
to
congratulate
everybody,
even
though
February
is
Black
History
Month,
Black
History
to
me
is
all
year
round
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
as
a
community
recognize
recognize
that,
and
it
is
there's
a
book
that
a
woman
put
together
down
in
New
Jersey
that
listed
all
the
inventions
that
African
Americans
have
made
and
contributed
to
this
country
and
in
a
conversation
with
my
brother
I
said
what
didn't
we
invent?
A
I
You,
mr.
president,
I,
am
honored
to
stand
and
support
the
CBC
and
celebrating
our
trailblazers
and
doing
it's
back.
History
Month
celebration
want
to
congratulate
all
the
winners
to
trailblazers
for
your
dedication
in
your
work
and
effort
for
all
you
do
for
our
city.
As
we
know,
Black
History
the
year,
the
black
history
of
the
month,
that
we
celebrate
and
look
at
the
achievement
of
all
American,
but
specifically
African
Americans.
I
This
year
again,
we
celebrated
the
arts
of
black
history
in
our
second
and
second
or
third
third
annual
City
Hall
display
I'm,
proud
of
the
work
that's
being
done
here.
Not
only
do
we
recognize
the
work,
but
we
recognize
the
central
role
of
all
those
African
Americans
that
have
paid
a
central
part
of
our
history.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
the
work
you
do
as
the
city
manager
was
talking.
I
I
F
You,
mr.
chairman
I'll,
keep
it
short
and
brief,
because
I
don't
want
to
keep
these
heroes
without
capes
standing
against
the
wall
too
long.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
acknowledge
it
recognized
in
my
own
African
roots,
I
also
celebrate
Black
History
Month
and
we
take
a
very
serious
in
our
household
I,
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
John
Cromwell
for
all
the
work
that
you
do
in
the
Chelsey
black
community.
It
is
not
easy
to
put
all
these
events
together
in
February.
F
She
literally
comes
out
with
this
action-packed
calendar
with
events
all
over
the
city
and
every
year
she
introduces
new
trailblazers
to
our
community
that
a
lot
of
us
that
are
involved
in
local
politics
know,
but
a
lot
of
people
out
there.
Don't
so
it's
it's
it
to
me.
It
makes
me
incredibly
proud
that
you're
giving
them
the
platform
and
acknowledge
the
analogy
in
them
for
the
work
that
they've
done,
whether
it's
an
education,
whether
it's
activism,
whether
it's
just
Beverly,
Martin,
just
hey
girl
from
across
the
room
and
or
housing
whatever
it
is.
F
J
You
have
always
brought
your
energy
and
the
best
of
yourself
to
continue
giving
to
this
community
Suzanne
I
know
that
you've
donated
so
much
not
only
monetarily,
but
also
your
time
for
many
of
the
causes
here
in
Chelsea
and
the
symbol,
family
I
had
an
education
thanks
to
your
support
and
I
am
only
one
of
I
know
plenty
of
other
high
school
students
who
have
been
privileged
to
get
that
donation
that
can
get
us
through
school.
So,
thank
you
all
for
all
the
work
that
you
do
in
our
community
every
single
day.
So.
A
I'm
just
gonna
say
something
real,
quick
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
Chelsea
black
community
for
hosting
the
events
and
also
having
such
a
vibrant
schedule
as
council.
We
doe
spoke
about
and
that
too
and
I
just
this
week
and
both
surprised
an
appreciative
of
how
much
more
we
are
learning
as
time
goes
on
about
the
history
of
african-americans
in
this
country
that
has
been
washed
over
and
I
want
to
point
to
an
article.
I
read
I'm,
not
sure
how
many
of
you
saw
it
in
the
Boston
Globe.
A
They
discovered
that
the
US
Constitution
had
an
eight-year-old
boy
who
was
a
resident
of
boss
and
his
father
african-american
worked
on
the
US
Constitution.
This
eight-year-old
boy
served
and
worked
on
the
ship
in
two
battles.
He
was
the
youngest
African,
American
and
I
think
ever
youth
to
ever
serve
in
military
for
this
country
and
for
hundreds
of
years
this
is
just.
This
was
not
known.
It's
come
to
light,
and
it's
a
little
bit
of
sadness
in
reading
the
story
that
this
young
man
later
on
became
a
sailor
travelled.
A
The
world
was
a
merchant
sailor
and
then,
unfortunately,
during
our
darkest
times,
was
captured.
Even
though
he's
a
free
man
captured
and
sent
to
the
south,
and
he
lived
out
his
final
days
as
a
slave
and
I-
think
it's
both
sad
but
enlightening
of
what
was
going
on
and
where,
in
the
history
of
the
contribution
of
blacks
in
this
country,
continue
to
come
out
and
again,
its
efforts
of
groups
like
this
that
bring
that
out
and
I
think
that
we
can
all
appreciate
that
effort.
So
thank
you.
A
K
Good
evening
my
name
is
Roman
Paco
I'm,
a
resident
of
191
Winfield
Street
Peabody
Mass,
a
member
of
the
Polish
American
veterans
post,
thirteen
of
Chelsea
incorporated
a
Vietnam
era.
Veteran
a
commissioned
officer
served
with
Bravo
Company
of
the
504
Signal
Battalion
Signal
Corps
in
Hana
Germany
I
brought
up
the
issue
of
Carter
Street
from
Washington
Avenue
to
ormond
street.
It's
in
the
plural
condition,
while
the
high
school
students
use
it
longest
along
with
teachers.
The
traffic
is
unbelievable.
K
D
K
L
Beacon
Street,
Chelsea
and
tonight
we're
here
to
let
everyone
know
about
the
program's
coming
up
for
Black
History
Month
February
17th,
the
at
5:00
p.m.
the
cook-off
community
dinner.
It
starts
at
5
o'clock,
like
I,
said
it's
gonna,
be
at
la
luz
de
Christo,
in
Galatia
Church
at
7:30
Broadway
in
Chelsea.
Also
on
February
20th
Joan
can
tell
you
about
that.
One
and.
E
I
just
want
to
start
with
saying
thank
you
to
the
council
for
allowing
us
to
be
here
tonight
and
to
recognize
and
share
with
us
our
celebration
for
Black,
History
Month
and
it's
so
great
and
so
enriching
that
we
can
have
conversations
and
actually
learn
from
each
other.
So
as
I
always
say,
Black
History
Month
isn't
just
about
black
folks.
It's
not
just
about
enjoying
it
for
ourselves,
but
it's
also
about
celebrating
who
we
are
as
a
community
and
coming
together.
E
So
whites,
blacks,
Latinos,
we
all
walk
together
in
our
generations
before
us
walk
together
for
civil
rights.
So
it's
it's.
It's
called
Black
History
Month,
but
it's
also
American
history.
So
I
just
thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
come
here
this
evening
and
share
in
fellowship
and
reflect
on
what
it's
all
about.
I
only
wish
that
it
was
incorporated
in
the
history
books
when
I
was
in
grade
school,
but
that's
okay,
because
we're
learning
and
it's
an
everyday
process
so
I.
E
Thank
you
for
that
and
I
just
want
to
elaborate
on
the
20th
that
it's
going
to
be
an
amazing
event.
It
starts
at
5:00
p.m.
we
have
the
best
dinner
in
town
going
on
I've
always
said,
taste
of
Chelsea
really
has
someone
to
reckon
with.
So
that's
from
5:00
to
6:00
p.m.
and
then
we're
going
to
go
it
right
into
a
program
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
celebrate
the
Chelsea
Trailblazers
that
are
just
our
unsung.
E
Great
people
in
our
community
continue
to
do
great
things,
so
we're
gonna
have
vendors
we're
going
to
have
entertainment
in
spoken
word.
We're
gonna,
have
great
dinner
and
just
basically
to
come
together
as
a
community
to
celebrate
Black
History
Month
as
one
because
I
was
slogan,
is
one
strong
voice
and
that's
what
we
stand
for.
So
thank
you.
L
E
L
Last
year,
the
pastor,
but
our
different
story
different
time.
So
this
event
is
going
to
be
a
great
time.
Great
time
me
at
the
Clark
school,
so
welcome
everybody
to
come
out
there
make
some
of
your
talent
I
know:
councillor
Vito,
you
got
a
lot
of
poetry,
a
lot
of
artwork
and
stuff.
You
can
bring
that
with
you,
counselor
Vega
Maldonado.
You
got
some
skills,
some
ways:
either
you
or

some
skills,
guys
I
know
you
love
the
Patriots
Jonathan
and
you
know
the
rest
of
the
council

L
E
Lastly,
I
just
want
to
mention
the
February
27th
at
the
Senior
Center,
so
they're
going
to
be
celebrating
Maya
Angelou
and
the
power
of

in
black
history
and
that's
at
noontime,
and
it

a
delicious
lunch

China
I,
hereby
submit
to

my
proposal,
capital

The
enclosed
capital

the
city's
commitment
to
utilize
our
strong
reserves
for
the
purpose
of
enhancing
the
quality
of

A
Dear
counselors,
pursuant
to
section
4.3
one
of
the
Chelsea
city
charter,
I,
am
writing
to
request
City
Council
approval
for
cost
items.
Roof
of
the
new
collective
bargaining
agreement
negotiated
with
Teamsters
Local
25,
covering
the
DPW
for
the
period
of
I.
Think
this
is
a
mistake,
should
be
July
1,
2022,
June,
30th.
A
Okay,
a
copy
of
a
Memorandum
of
the
agreement
is
attached.
The
memorandum
of
agreement
outlines
the
changes
to
contract
terms.
The
most
significant
part
of
the
negotiation
for
the
city
was
the
agreement
with
the
Union
on
terms
and
salaries
for
the
employees
that
will
work
in
the
new
water
and
shore
department.
Major
cost
items
of
this
particular
agreement
are
the
annual
raises.
The
first
year
increases
vary
depending
upon
grade
because
the
city
agreed
to
specific
differentials
between
grades
to
make
promotions
more
meaningful.
A
In
years,
FY
2021,
FY
2022,
the
increases
to
all
grades
will
be
2.75
percent
and
3
percent.
Respectfully,
the
total
cost
of
all
the
wages
increases
over
the
three
years
of
the
contract
is
approximately
175,000
dollars.
834
I
respectfully
ask
that
the
City
Council
approve
the
cost
items
of
this
contract,
as
well
as
transfer
from
salary
reserve
account
in
a
total
amount
of
forty
thousand
eight
hundred
seventy
nine
dollars
and
82
cents
to
accommodate
accommodate
the
FY
2008.
This
transfer
are
attached.
I
recognize
council
Robinson,
who
has
a
couple
of
orders,
I
believe.
G
A
C
We
have
a
copy
of
the
communication
from
the
city
manager,
notice
of
waiver
intent
pursuant
to
the
Administrative
Code
section,
one
21.0

invite
or
notify
you
of
my

Development
Program
Manager
in

Department
of

and
Development,
and
to
grant
a
waiver
from
the
residency
requirement
set
forth.
An
Administrative
Code
part
for
section
112
Poynter
wanted
copy
of
miss
Cooper's
resume
as
a
task
in
accordance
with
section
112
point
O

I
requested.
A
Dear
councillors,
for
some
time
have
been
thinking
about
how
to
best
provide
financial
support
for
affordable
homeownership
in
the
city.
After
much
deliberation,
I
have
concluded
that
at
least
this
point
until
such
time
that
the
legislature
may
provide
other
options,
such
as
a
local
transfer
tax.
The
only
way
to
do
so
is
through
direct
funding
for
my
significant
reserves
to
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
board.
Accordingly,
I
am
now
writing
to
request
that
the
City
Council
consider
a
transfer
from
the
general
stabilization
account
to
advance
affordable,
homeownership
initiatives
of
the
a
HTF
B.
A
We
are
well
aware
of
the
housing
affordability
crisis
in
the
city.
Mitigating
this
problem
requires
creation
of
both
affordable
rental
properties
and
affordable
homeownership
opportunities.
Although
the
demand
still
far
exceeds
supply,
the
nonprofit
community
has
been
able
to
make
some
progress
in
developing
affordable
rental
units,
mainly
because
generous
government
subsidies
exist
for
such
rental
development.
However,
there
is
a
dearth
of
public
money
available
to
subsidize,
affordable,
homeownership
opportunities,
I'm,
sorry
own
ownership
units.
So
if
we
wish
as
a
city
to
encourage
affordable
home
ownership,.

His
name
was
before
not
this
exact
council,
but
the
City
Council
three
years
ago
he
was
appointed
not
was
saying
the
fact
that
he
was
outside
the
city
of
Chelsea,
but
it
does
require
your
vote
to
approve
him
so
I'm,
just
advocating
I'm,
just
repeating
the
advocacy
of
the
director
that
he
is
an
active
member
of
the
board,
and
this
is
a
board.
She
has
a
tough
time
filling.
In
fact,
there
remains
one
open
position
on
this
board
which
we
haven't
been
able
to
fill
as
of
yet.
A
G
M
F
O
N
D
First,
the
reason
that
I
was
inspired
to
propose
that
we
have
tablets
as
city
councilors
is
initially
because
I
receive
a
packet
like
this
every
other
week
and
it's
about
70
pages,
maybe
a
hundred
times
11
x,
11
and
there's.
It
does
not
really
serve
a
purpose
for
us
to
have
this
paper
when
it
can
be
communicated
at
most
of
what
we
need
can
be
communicated
digitally
for
the
sake
of
uniformity
and
for
all
of
the
city
councillors
to
have
a
tablet
in
front
of
them
versus
maybe
somehow
piles
of
paper.
D
Some
have
their
own
laptops
for
the
sake
of
security.
I
was
hoping
that
my
colleagues
would
agree
with
me
that
tablets
would
serve
the
purpose
of
efficiently
and
effectively
being
able
to
transmit
the
information
that
we
need
on
a
weekly
basis
and
that
there
would
be
something
that
we
would
utilize
here
at
City,
Hall
and
and
that
it
would
be
a
very
effective
way
of
transmitting
information
as
well
as
being
environmentally
conscious.
This
is,
let's
say,
700
pages
every
other
week
that
are
going
mostly
into
recycling
or
into
the
garbage.
D
It
doesn't
serve
a
purpose
and
it
is
certainly
not
helping
the
environment,
so
it
might
not
seem
like
a
lot
of
paper
or
saving
a
lot
of
trees
initially,
but
it
is
certainly
the
the
current
wave
that
is
going
on.
We
hope
throughout
the
community
and
around
the
country
to
try
to
do
our
best
to
be
environmentally
conscious
and
so
I
hope
that
my
colleagues
will
agree
with
that.
Thank
You
councillor.
P
Disagree
with
what
the
fellow
councilor
says
for
one,
the
taxpayer
shouldn't
have
to
pay
for
your
tablet.
If
you
want
it,
you
get
it
and
you
use
it
yourself.
Councillor
see
already
use
computers
and
it
belongs
to
them,
and
the
second
thing
is
paper
is
going
to
be
used
just
the
same
you're
not
going
to
eliminate
the
paper.
The
paper
has
to
be
put
because
everybody
still
has
to
get
them
all
in
papers,
so
that
doesn't
go
anywhere.
P
That
way,
and
for
another
thing
the
security
isn't
within
the
paper,
not
within
your
computer,
your
computer
could
be
hacked.
They
could
be
gone
at
any
time,
Security's
that
within
your
paper
and
your
paper
is
recyclable,
that
you
troll
what
is
made
out
of
a
tree.
It
doesn't
come
out
of
plastic
and
the
biggest
thing
I
have
with
this
is
why
should
the
taxpayers
pay
every
couple
of
years
to
replace
your
tablet?
There's
no
other
community
that
does
that
around
here.
P
There's
no
community
in
every
Boston
gives
you
something,
but
you're
there
24
hours
a
day,
you
can
go
and
every
no
other
community
has
it
and
for
one,
if
you
want
it
to
I'm,
not
opposed
you
haven't,
you
can
have
it
buy
it
yourself.
Why
should
the
taxpayer
have
the
burden
of
paying
for
something
that
you
can
afford
yourself?
There's
no
need
for
us
to
go
every
couple
of
years
and
replace
it
nobody's
telling
you
not
to
have
it.
P
You
can
have
it
I'm,
not
against
you
having
it
I'm,
just
against
the
taxpayer,
paying
for
it
for
you,
you
can
have
it
buy
it
yourself.
There's
no
problem
and
as
far
as
the
paper
you're
gonna
keep
the
paper,
no
matter
what
it
is,
it's
gonna
stay
there.
So
what
is
your
goal?
You're
not
going
to
eliminate
the
paper.
So
what
is
the
goal
of
it?
Thank
You
councillor.
B
F
So
I
just
want
to
lift
my
former
councillor
by
the
brother
in
service
Luis
Tejada,
who
had
this
idea
of
us
having
tablets
and
it
was
absolutely
shut
down
the
last
time.
I
was
actually
in
support
of
it,
but
the
more
that
I
sit
up
here.
The
more
I
become
more
conservative
when
it
comes
to
taxpayer
money
and
I
released
addicted.
Yes,
mr.
F
In
a
year
we
spent
about
I
think
it's.
If
you
come
to
toner
and
the
paper
I
think
it
comes
out
to
about
a
hundred
and
thirty-eight
dollars
a
year,
so
that
was
just
per
councilor
multiply
that
by
eleven
at
the
end
of
the
day,
our
city
clerk
still
has
to
print
papers
and
still
has
to
find
it
and
for
the
sake
of
record-keeping
and
I,
like
my
sister
and
service
here,
where
environmental
activists,
and
so
it's
something
that
I'm
really.
That
really
means
a
lot
to
me.
Oh
thank
you.
F
So
I
will
not
be
supporting
this
motion,
although
I
do
want
to
congratulate
my
sister
and
service
for
her
very
first
order
as
a
city
councilor.
So
thank
you
for
that.
But
I
will
be
voting
against
this
because,
although
we
do
get
it,
although
we
do,
we
do
waste
a
lot
of
paper.
It
is
it
at
least
the
paper
can
be
recycled
and
and
the
devices
cannot
and
I
really
do
feel
uncomfortable
putting
that
burden
on
our
taxpayers.
F
Quite
frankly,
city
councillors
here
get
paid
fourteen
thousand
dollars
a
year,
which
is
probably
one
of
the
lowest
in
the
entire
state
or
in
this
region
at
least,
and
so
I
would
be
more
inclined
to
support
that
money
going
towards
health
insurance
for
city
councillors
or
a
spending
budget.
So
we
can
try
to
interact
with
constituents
better
and
try
to
engage
them
more,
as
opposed
to
supporting
this.
So
again,
I
will
be
voting
against
it,
but
thank
you.
J
You,
mr.
chairman,
so
I
really
appreciate
all
the
testimonies
of
my
colleagues
and
for
the
sake
of
visuals,
because
I
am
more
of
a
visual
person.
This.
What
you
see
here
is
the
paper
that
we
get
to
take
home
or
actually
leave
here
for
I
want
to
say
this
was
between
the
months
honestly.
This
was
between
October
December.
J
So
if
this
doesn't
help
your
visual
of
how
much
paper
we
waste-
and
this
is
just
for
a
few
months-
mind
you
if
we
do
the
math,
we
only
meet
officially
two
Mondays
a
month,
and
this
is
what
we
deal
with
on
a
weekly
basis.
So
if
we
do,
the
math
I
really
appreciate
the
math
that
was
done
and
the
counting
that
was
done.
J
A
lot
of
progressive
cities
have
implemented
that
in
their
communities,
I'm
not
gonna,
go
back
and
do
the
research
you
guys
can
do
that.
There's
plenty
of
plenty
cities
that
are
enjoying
and
using
these
tablets,
but
also
this
is
added
in
our
CIP
plan.
So
when
my
colleagues
get
a
chance
to
look
at
it,
it
will
cost
the
city
four
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
to
use
these
tablets.
J
So
four
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
in
comparison
to
all
this
stack
of
paper
that
forget
about
it
being
inconvenient
just
think
about
it
as
not
being
an
environmentally
friendly
option
for
anyone.
So
we're
gonna
take
plastic
bags
from
our
community.
Let's
get
a
read,
get
rid
of
this
paper.
Lastly,
that
being
said,
the
other
thing
I
want
to
clarify
is
I'm,
pretty
sure
that
councilor
sabot,
when
you
put
this
offer
on
you,
don't
want
tablets
for
every
single
new
elected
official
every
two
years.
J
What
you're
saying
is
you
want
one
tablet
or
the
city
councilor,
that's
currently
serving
that
can
eventually
be
inherited
by
the
next
person.
Is
that
correct?
Okay,
so
I
will
be
supportive
of
this
pastor,
because
I
want
to
be
conscious
of
our
environment
and
I.
Don't
want
to
be
dealing
with
this
so
for
all
the
folks
who
are
more
visuals.
This
is
what
we
deal
it
with
for
a
few
months.
Let's
not
even
count
the
year,
so
I'll
be
supporting
this
constable.
G
Think
we've
I
think
before
we
shut
it
down.
Actually
I
sent
a
communication
to
talk
about
moving
as
the
conference
and
having
Ramon
come
and
speak
in
regards
to
what
the
real
cost
is.
The
forty
five
hundred
or
whatever
is
in
a
book,
doesn't
include
licenses
and
thing
else.
Our
goals
with
the
tablet
so
I
think
they
have
a
professional,
come
to
a
conference
and
give
us
the
pros
and
cons
why
we
should
use
the
tablets.
So
what
offer
amendment
that
we
move
at
all
conference.
I
Wow,
hey
I,
think
this
is
a
great
idea.
I
think
we
had
two
weeks
to
actually
do
our
homework.
I
jungle
at
some
of
us
have
done
our
homework
so
looking
to
what
it
cost,
what
it
shouldn't
cost,
what
it
should
cost,
but
I
think
it
costs
about
six
thousand
dollars
here.
That's
with
the
licenses!
That's
what
the
updates!
That's,
what
the
training
that
we
will
get
to
hold
on.
If
we
get
them,
you
get
everything
within
four
six
thousand
dollars.
I
That's
a
great
way
to
get
rid
of
this
paper
agenda
that
my
colleagues
are
showing
here.
I
mean,
if
you
don't
hear
it,
you
can
see
it.
Counselors
can
learn
how
to
do
it.
Not
only
will
it
allow
us
to
be
more
active
or
more
efficient
in
here
we
can
also
keep
up
with
the
meetings
we're
talking
about.
We
want
to
be
transparent.
We
want
to
be
able
to
put
all
the
meetings
on.
You
know
the
television
here.
I
This
is
a
way
that
we
can
actually
get
everything
what's
going
on
here,
I
mean
we
have
to
wait
weekly,
sometimes
bi-weekly,
to
get
our
stack
of
paper
to
look
at
it
before
48
hours
before
the
next
vote
or
the
City
Council
meeting.
But
this
is
a
way
that
we
can
actually
track
legislation
track.
What's
being
done,
make
amendments?
Do
our
study
do
our
homework.
I
Remember
you
know
at
the
very,
very
basic
end
of
the
tablets,
and
there
was
one
council
instead
of
tonight
it's
probably
about
two
hundred
and
three
hundred
dollars,
probably
at
the
very
top
end
of
the
tablet.
It's
probably
about
$500.
So
you
timed
that
time.
11
you
get
the
training
you
get
the
license
agreements
you
get
all
secure
data
that
you
need,
so
you
won't
get
hacked,
which
is
probably
no
one's
gonna,
be
hacking
us
for
what's
going
on
at
City
Hall,
it's
all
over
the
website,
I
mean
we
had
that
on
a
website
again.
I
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
that
not
only
will
we
be
saving
trees,
but
in
the
long
run,
we'll
be
saving
money,
and
one
of
my
counselors
counselor
stated
that
one
of
our
former
counselors
had
brought
this
idea
up
and
we
were
like
naw
naw
naw,
because
we
were
somewhat
back
in
the
old
age,
but
we
have
to
come
up
to
where
we
are
today.
This
here
is
an
opportunity.
I
This
is
a
tool
by
the
way,
it's
not
an
opportunity,
it's
a
tool
that
we
can
connect
every
week
and
we
can
have
these
things
right
in
front
of
us.
So
I
don't
really
see
a
lot
of
argument,
as
one
of
my
counselors
stated
it's
already
in
our
projected
next
CIP.
So
it's
something
we
should
be
looking
on.
This
is
a
great
motion
for
it
accounts
right.
Please
show
your
Moffit
your
motion,
I
looked
at
the
last
week.
It
was
shut
down
this
week.
I
N
I
will
be
bordering
against
this.
What
happened
with
you,
especially
a
counselor
Garcia,
some
of
the
people
who
work
in
Boston
I,
don't
know
how
I
come
in
here
to
a
meeting
and
they
don't
bring
the
tablet.
What's
gonna
happen:
Oh
Lydia
whoever's
behind
the
death.
Could
you
make
more
copies
for
me
paper?
So
that's
one
thing
and
then
how
I'll
come
out?
The
taxpayer
will
be
paying
this
there's.
No
other
series
I
did
consider
Winthrop
ever
revered,
don't
have
given
Boston
I,
don't
think
they
have.
Thank
you.
A
M
Want
to
add
I,
don't
want
to
repeat
I'll,
be
voting
against
this,
but
it's
you
know
tablet
it's
a
tool
that
most
of
already
have
and
we
have
smartphones.
So
if
you
do
not
want
the
paper
copy,
you
could
always
ask
for
it
to
be
emailed
and
I'm
opening
on
your
phone,
something
simple
of
saving
money
and
saying
the
trees
they're
just
asking
for
it
to
be
emailed.
Thank
you.
A
O
There
is
a
wait
for
companies
in
general
and
I
think
even
the
City
Council.
If
we
invest
in
technology
it
saves
time.
Time
is
money.
Modernization
I'm
all
in
favor
of
that
I
agree
with
councillor
Robinson
that
this
should
probably
be
moved
to
conference.
So
we
can
hear
what
Ramon
has
to
say
and
what
exactly
it's
going
to
cost
and
and
the
other
things
about.
You
know
the
labor
involved
in
generating
all
this
paper
is
also
something
that
would
be
cut
down.
So
I
believe
that
this
should
be
moved
to
conference.

dark,
so
I
would
like
to
see.
If
the
city
money
talk
to
the
Commissioner
did
the
richer
to
see.
We
can
lease
a
new
light
there.
So
more
clear
and
more
lighting
there,
I
always
I'm
concerned
about
safety
in
the
area.
N
N
G
Actually,
I
met
with
the
marketing
director
for
the
Red
Sox,
so
I
happened
to
be
at
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
breakfast
and
talked
about
when
they
look
at
communities
and
pass
out
tickets
to
the
Red
Sox
games
that
everything
goes
to
Boys
and
Girls
Clubs
and
I
explained
to
him
that
there
are
other
community
groups
here,
like
Little
League
baseball,
the
two
pop
water
and
Chelsea
pride,
the
youth
basketball
league-
and
he
asked
me
to
forward
all
their
information
to
them,
which
I
did
and
I
think.
The
reason
I
want
to
have
this
conversation.
G
I
know
we
talk
about
a
community
center
and
it's
an
at.
We
can
be
able
to
get
to
a
point
to
provide
a
lot
of
activities
by
taking
a
look
at
expanding
what
we're
doing
at
the
community
schools
as
opposed
to
looking
to
go
out
and
spend
all
kinds
of
money
to
build
a
community
center.
We
do
have
facilities
that
we
can
make
use
of.
We
just
have
to
plan
a
little
bit
better
and
offer
a
lot
more
things
than
we're
offering
right
now.
Thank
You
mr.
chairman,
chair.
G
P
Also,
if
councillor
my
fellow
council
wants
to
open
this
up
with
the
schools
so
be
more
effective
for
all
the
people
of
our
city
to
use.
They
will
allow
also
the
high
school
to
be
used
because
I've
we've
done
that
before
and
it's
always
said,
we
cannot
use
the
high
school
because
they
use
in
it.
So
if
you
don't
include
the
biggest
part
of
this,
then
this
is
all
a
waste,
because
it's
still
you
can
ask
B,
you
can
ask
all
of
them.
This
is
not
enough
to
fulfill
the
need
of
our
city.
P
Unless
you
open
up
the
high
school
too
and
I,
don't
think
they're
ever
going
to
open
up
the
high
school
to
the
public.
That's
when
we
go
to
subcommittee,
that's
one
of
the
biggest
thing.
I'm
gonna
stress
this:
are
you
going
to
open
up
to
high
school
to
go
along
with
the
other
community
schools?
Because
if
you
don't
we
go
to
Kampf
subcommittee,
it
ain't
still
gonna
be
ain't.
Gonna
fix
the
need
of
our
community.
P
I
I'm
glad
that
we're
discussing
this
here
and
I
asked
my
council
member,
the
maker
of
this
request
he's
the
delegated
to
the
school
department
that
he
bring
this
at
their
next
meeting.
Let
him
know
that
the
City
Council
is
interested
in
finding
out
how
we
can
collaborate
work
together,
and
maybe
he
can
bring
some
information
back
from
the
school
department
and
let
us
know
how
they
feel
about
this
motion.
I
I
A
Despite
the
introduction
of
several
pieces
of
legislation
in
the
Massachusetts
legislature
and
wide
support
of
such
legislation
from
over
two
hundred
thirty
five
driving
families
forward
organizational
endorses
included
in
Massachusetts
afl-cio
State
Federation.
None
has
yet
to
pass.
Whereas
the
Massachusetts
major
city
chiefs,
Association
made
up
of
Chiefs
of
Police
commissioners
of
superintendents
of
police
from
municipal
subdivision
of
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts,
the
state
police
and
transit
police
in
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
have
as
well
endorsed
the
bill
as
common
sense.
A
Public
policy
that
benefits
everyone
and
whereas
the
proposed
bill
has
been
endorsed
by
mediciney
mayor's,
including
those
from
Boston,
Somerville
and
Revere,
and
whereas
passing
a
bill
that
quenched
driver's
licenses
to
qualified
undocumented
immigrants
is
in
the
best
interest
of
the
entire
population
of
Massachusetts.
Because
the
immigrants
wanted
to
drive
legal
will.
A
It
may
lead
to
lower
auto
insurance
premiums
for
all
of
Massachusetts
residents,
whereas
immigrants
with
driver's
license
will
more
easily
integrate
into
their
communities,
which
is
beneficial
to
all
Massachusetts
residents.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
City
Council
of
the
city
of
Chelsea
calls
upon
Massachusetts
legislature
to
pass
the
Act
relative
to
work
and
family
mobility.
A
J
A
my
colleagues
myself,
the
president
of
our
Council,
to
ensure
that
we
put
this
extra
pressure
on
our
state
legislators
to
really
take
this
this.
Actually,
this
act
was
pulled
out
of
committee
and
hopefully
we'll
be
facing
the
floor
to
be
voted
on,
and
hopefully
it's
a
good
result
for
our
for
our
city
residents
and
something
I
do
want
to
highlight
and
actually
think-
and
you
know
what
I
actually
realized
I
did
not
make
a
motion
for
roll
call.
E
J
Mr.
chairman,
so
I
take
that
back.
Mr.
chairman
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
for
roll
call,
but
I
would
also
continue
would
like
to
continue
my
speech
I'll.
Keep
it
brief.
So
this
is
our
unique
opportunity
to
really
have
a
say
on
not
only
have
a
say,
but
try
to
persuade
our
legislators
to
to
really
get
on
the
right
side
of
the
aisle
here
and
let's
be
real.
J
Our
community
is
predominantly
in
its
predominantly
immigrant
community,
and
a
lot
of
our
folks
depend
on
transportation
to
get
to
work,
to
get
to
school,
to
get
to
their
medical
appointments
and,
honestly,
it's
a
human
right
to
be
able
to
move
and
have
access.
So
this
law,
even
though
may
be
contentious
for
many,
because
it
talks
about
undocumented
immigrants
and
giving
them
that
right
to
drive
the
other
side
of
the
eye.
J
So
I
think
that
will
be
reflective
tonight
when
we
take
this
roll
call
boat
and-
and
we
see
who
is
in
support
of
most
of
the
members
of
this
community.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
I
look
forward
to
hearing
your
testimonies
on
your
speeches
of
support
and
then
I
look
forward
for
your
vote
tonight.
Councillor.
F
You
vice
president
Garcia
I
know
that
when,
when
we
announced
the
demotion
that
there
were
many,
several
councillors
whose
names
were
not
mentioned
and
I'd
be
pretty
sure
that
the
majority
of
us
did
sign
on
to
that,
so
I
definitely
did
want
to
acknowledge
that
we
are
an
immigrant
community.
I
cannot
as
a
driver
in
this
city.
I
cannot
tell
you
how
many
accidents
that
we've
had
where
we
get
rear-ended
or
someone
hits
us
and
then
they're
so
scared,
because
they
don't
they're,
not
documented,
and
so
they
don't
have
insurance.
They
don't
have
a
license.
F
I
think
it's
a
way
of
keeping
everyone
safe
I
just
also
want
to
praise
all
the
work
that
immigrant
immigration
activists
have
done
around
this
I
know:
movimiento
call
a
child
last
tweet
last
Monday
did
a
hunger
strike
at
the
State
House
waiting
for
this
to
come
out
of
committee.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
people
that
have
been
really
working
on
this
for
a
long
time.
F
So
there's
you
know
it's
it's
scary
for
people
who
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
communities,
but
I
am
absolutely
in
full
support
of
this
I
think
that
I
know
the
governor
has
said
publicly
that
he
is
not
in
support
of
it,
but
he's
usually
not
on
the
same
side
as
me
anyway.
So
nonetheless,
we
persist,
and
so
I'm
just
grateful
to
be
on
the
right
side
of
history
with
this
and
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
bringing
it
forward
and
for
everyone
else
who
sponsored
this.
Thank
you.
A
Just
for
clarification,
the
the
sponsors
of
this
I
didn't
see
the
second
page.
Until
just
now,
we
have
council
at
large
tamale
vido
councilman
de
Vega
Maldonado
castle
and
Iommi's
Abbott
counselor
Ennio
Lopez
counsel,
Giovanni
with
Cooper
and
councillor
Amir
Rodriguez
chair
recognizes,
can
chair
councillor
Taylor.
O
Thank
You,
mr.
president,
so
I'd
like
to
be
clear
to
all
my
colleagues
and
everybody
watching
at
home
that
I
believe
that
this
issue
does
not
belong
before
the
City
Council.
The
City
Council
has
no
bearing
on
the
issuance
of
driver's
license.
I
have
no
objection
to
anyone
supporting
whatever
legislation
is
on
Beacon
Hill
I
would
encourage
everybody.
O
My
my
colleagues,
everybody
at
home.
If
you
support
this
bill,
you
should
call
your
state
representative
in
your
state,
senator
and
advocate
for
its
passage
on
Beacon
Hill,
to
bring
it
before
the
City
Council,
because
we
needed
added
pressure.
I
can
assure
you
that
state
senators,
aldi
domenico
representatives,
Rosalie
Vincent
and
Dan
Ryan,
don't
need
any
pressure
to
vote
for
this
bill.
O
O
Every
one
of
us
is
free
to
advocate
for
for
the
bill
or
not
I
want
to
make
one
thing
clear
is
that
throughout
my
tenure
on
this
City
Council,
however
long
it
may
be
any
time
that
there
is
a
resolution
offered
up
in
this
manner.
That
is
a
partisan
political
issue
meant
for
virtue.
Signaling
I
will
vote
no
on
any
resolution
of
this
manner,
whether
I
agree
with
it
or
whether
I
disagree
with
it,
because
in
my
view,
this
kind
of
thing
does
not
belong
or
the
City
Council.
We
were
elected
to
solve
Chelsea's
problems.
O
N
Just
want
to
say
that
this
is
only
resolution
to
show
them
that
we
are
supporting
what
they
are
fighting
at
the
State
House,
and
we
have
so
many
people
from
different
countries
in
Chelsea
and
as
consul
Jordan
Garcia
said
they
need
transportation
to
go
to
school,
Church,
buy
food
and
everything
for
the
kids
and
there's
so
many
people.
They
are
driving
in
Chelsea
with
our
license.
N
If
this
passes
the
State
House,
which
is
showing
that
we
are
supported,
supporting
what
they're
doing
over
there,
we
not
just
tell
them
we're
not
telling
them
what
what
to
do
but
which
Salander
we
support
on
this,
and
so
many
people
driving
without
a
license
in
Chelsea
and
the
future
future.
The
city
of
choice
is
going
to
make
money
on
train
stration
that
people
who
are
gonna
treasure
their
car
in
Chelsea
and
its
benefit
for
for
everybody,
and
god
forbid.
Some
some
day
you
got
hit
in
the
back.
N
B
I
It
so
Thank
You,
mr.
president,
so
the
order
I'm
withdrawn
tonight
is
in
order
that
was
put
in
about
four
corner
signs:
stop
signs
at
the
corner
of
Broadway
and
Beacon.
It's
come
to
my
attention.
I
was
at
the
hearing
last
week
and
I
guess:
I
must
have
missed
it.
The
president's
state
that
they
did
take
it
up,
but
it
wasn't
on
the
agenda,
but
so
what
they're
going
to
do
for
those
residents?
That's
watching
this
and
has
spoke
to
me
about
this
here-
is
that
they're
gonna
have
a
public
meeting
I.
I
I
So,
but
there's
a
public
meeting
for
the
public
to
come
before
the
city
to
give
their
input.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you're
aware
of
what
the
city
is
trying
to
do.
Obviously
we're
trying
to
work
with
the
safety
bring
in
this
area.
It's
right
below
the
court
going
in
to
beacon
and
when
you
come
off
the
bridge
down
begin.
I
So
there's
a
big
area
there,
where
four
corners
are
and
sometime
the
folks
coming
past
the
courthouse
believe
they
have
the
right
to
go
straight
ahead
and
it's
coming
down
or
coming
up
on
beacon.
They
believe
they
have
the
right
to
so
we're
just
trying
to
clarify
some
of
the
activities
there.
I
heard
that
there's
been
numbers
of
accidents
there
and
we're
just
trying
to
make
that
a
little
safer
corner.
I
A
P
Here's
one
of
the
announcement
I
had
the
city
right
now
was
changing
some
sewer
pipes
and
the
streets.
There
are
affected
they're,
not
changing
you're
inside
peace.
Yes,
they
change
up
to
the
sewer
right
now
and
I.
Think
what
they're
gonna
do.
They're
gonna
change
the
piece
that
goes
into
your
house
after
they
do
the
sewer
lines
they
do
the
sole
lines.
First,
that's
what
I
was
told.
The
sewer
lines
will
be
first
and
then
the
pipe
will
be
next
I.
P
Don't
know
okay
right
now
they
digging
up
s
extreme
right,
they're,
not
going
into
the
people's
houses
to
change
that
piece
of
pipe
that
goes
into
their
house.
They're
only
doing
the
sword,
they're
not
doing
right,
they're,
not
doing
the
water
connection
yet
right.
So
the
whole
thing
I'm
saying
is
that
people
they
still
gonna.
Do
your
water
connection
right
now.
P
B
F
I
just
want
to
are
we
all
counselors
all
received
a
letter
from
our
administrative
assistant,
leather,
coach,
Oh,
who
will
be
leaving
us
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
announced
and
gave
her
credit.
Since
we
first
came
in,
we
came
in
to
counsel
around
the
same
time
in
2016.
Lydia
is
what
makes
these
meetings
possible.
Her
and
Paul
are
the
magicians
behind
the
scenes
that
create
all
of
those
thousands
of
pages
of
our
packets
and
and
the
agendas
for
the
meetings
and
and
and
there
are
administrative
assistant.
F
Could
you
imagine
what
it
is
like
to
work
for
eleven
politicians,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
giving
credit.
Of
course,
Paul's
still
staying
with
us,
hopefully
hopefully
forever,
but
leather
will
be
leaving
us
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
announced
it
publicly.
So
we
will
be
looking
for
someone,
but
there
has
been
an
absolute
blessing
to
work
with
and
I'm
just
super
grateful.
F
So
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
such
a
dynamic
young
woman,
who
was
just
fierce
and
and
I
just
just
so
so
so
grateful
to
have
been
able
to
work
with
her
and
what
she's
contributed
to
the
City
Council.
So
I
know
we
all
got
the
letter.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
to
let
the
public
know,
for
the
sake
of
transparency,
we'll
be
having
a
new
administrative
assistant
sometime
soon,
but
I
don't
know
that
anybody
will
be
able
to
fill
those
huge
shoes.
But
thank
you.
O
So
I
just
wanted
to
bring
it
to
everyone's
attention
that
Wednesday
February
12th
is
the
deadline
to
register
to
vote
to
vote
in
the

matter

party
you

to,

you're
not
registered
