Description
City of Chelsea, Discuss the following financial orders
B
B
A
B
A
Thank
you,
mr
clerk.
Again
we
call
this
meeting.
We
have
a
lot
of
subcommittee
orders
it
with
coming
before
the
finance
committee.
Some
of
the
council
members
want
to
hear
an
update.
I
want
to
thank
the
city
manager
for
being
here,
the
rest
of
the
staff
for
being
here
this
evening.
We
do
have
in
our
last
packet.
A
We
had
a
description
of
the
free
cast
and
what
we'll
be
doing
here
tonight,
but
again
I
wanted
to
have
you
come
in
and
if
you
can
give
us
just
a
brief,
we
appreciate
that
and
if
any
of
my
fellow
counselors
have
some
questions
after
the
presentation
I'll
let
the
members
of
the
finance
committee
speak
and
then
we'll
open
it
up
and
we'll.
Let
our
colleagues
from
the
city
council
speak
and
if
anyone
from
the
public
would
like
to
say
something
we'll
give
them
an
opportunity
to
speak.
Mr
city
manager.
C
Thank
you
counselor.
So,
at
the
end
of
february
we
got
our
free
cash
certified
by
the
department
of
revenue.
We
really
got
a
very
healthy
free
cash
number
higher
than
even
I
was
anticipating
and
almost
15
million
dollars
in
free
cash,
and
so
there's
always
a
fair
amount
of
projects
that
I
like
to
do,
but
it
depends
often
on
how
much
free
cash
is
available
and
with
this
free
cash
number
you
know
I
felt
confident
presenting
to
you
some
sort
of
one-time
expenditures
that
I
think
will
move
the
city
forward.
C
It's
even
all
of
these
expenditures
together
only
amount
to
a
little
over
two
million
dollars.
So
we're
not
you
know,
making
a
huge
bite
out
of
this
free
cash
number,
but
I
think
each
of
these
requests
are
important
in
their
own
right
and
so
I'm
advocating
to
move
forward
with
all
of
them.
What
I
would
propose
is
to
just
walk
through
each
one.
Give
a
brief
explanation,
pause
and
take
questions.
C
A
Okay,
if
you
want
mr
manager
a
lot
of
them,
particularly
the
first
ones.
First,
five
are
pretty
self-explanatory,
but
if
you
want
to
just
read
the
note
capture
of
the
first
five,
if
any
of
the
colleagues
have
a
question,
we
can
ask
you
directly
that
way,
we'll
do
them:
five,
five,
five
and
pretty
much
disable
okay.
C
I'll
do
that
and
give
you
a
one-liner
on
each
of
them,
so
the
bunker
hill
scholarship
program,
the
request
is
for
147
750.
This
would
pay
for
the
fifth
year
of
the
program.
It
would
take
care
of
those
people
graduating
from
chelsea
high
school
this
coming
year.
The
senior
transportation
is
to
continue
the
ongoing
senior
transportation
that
we
have.
We
have
funding
to
get
us
through
the
end
of
december.
C
C
the
downtown
initiative.
You
know
I've
come
to
you
before
on
downtown
initiative
request
I
haven't
in
about
two
years,
but
we
had
money
left
over
to
do
what
we
needed
to
do
last
year.
This
is
looking
for
an
infusion
of
funds
to
do
all
the
things
that
make
a
downtown
vibrant.
So
this
includes
money
for
public
art
for
actual
events,
for
a
storefront
improvement.
Second
round
for
support
for
outdoor
dining
for
some
of
our
restaurants.
So
that's
in
that
request
and.
C
Munis
upgrade
for
hris.
This
is
to
pay
the
cost
of
a
consultant
to
come
in
and
help
us
best
utilize
munis,
mostly
for
help
for
human
resources,
tracking
of
leave
and
some
other
things.
That
would
be
very
helpful
for
them
in
compliance
reporting
and
we
need
some
money
for
the
consultant
and
the
final
one
is
banners.
C
A
set
of
banners
run
somewhere
in
the
twenty
twenty
three
thousand
dollar
range
for
all.
That
includes
all
the
artwork
and
everything
and
we
haven't
ordered
banners
in
a
couple
years.
They
do
start
to
fade
and,
in
addition,
people
get
sick
of
seeing
the
same
one.
So
this
would
allow
us
to
go
through
and
purchase
two
different
sets
of
banners
for
our
city.
So.
A
D
A
E
I'll
go
right
to
the
second
one
on
the
appropriation
of
the
for
the
elders
affairs
contract.
Again,
we've
had
private
conversations,
expand.
What
are
the
services
we're
presently
offering
and
what
will
continue
from
here
on
end?
This
is
and
how
long
this
program-
or
this
confusion
will
last
us
to
so.
C
This
will
get
us,
so
we
right
now
we
have
a
grant,
a
pretty
good
grant
and
so
we're
providing
a
pretty
robust
transportation
system
right
now
for
seniors.
It's
almost
like
an
on-call
thing.
You
call
up.
We
deliver
you
sort
of
door-to-door,
that's
a
very
expensive
proposition
and
we're
probably
not
going
to
be
able
to
continue
that
level
of
service
once
that
grant
expires.
C
C
We
continue
that
level
of
service
on
an
annual
basis,
because
that
would
be
significantly
more
than
we've
ever
appropriated.
For
this
purpose,
I
I
think
that
the
I
think
that
the
members
of
the
senior
center
are
comfortable
with
the
level
of
service
we
were
providing
pre-covert.
They
were
very
happy
with
that
level
of
service
and
that's
what
this
proposal
is
for
that
level
of
service
right
now
and
as
long
as
we
can
afford
it,
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
this
sort
of
enhanced
level
of
service.
That's
a
little
bit
better.
C
F
C
Last
year
we
gave
direct
grants
to
people
interested
in
outdoor
dining.
We
just
gave
them
money
to
purchase,
you
know
outdoor
seating,
etc.
We
would
do
this.
We
would
propose
to
do
the
same
again
this
year
and
75
000
would
be
another
round
of
the
storefront
improvement
program
and
we
probably
can
do
about
five
storefronts
with
75
000.
E
C
Mean
some
of
them
do
so
a
pioneer
will
definitely
apply
there,
but
they
always
have
a
gap.
So
we
try
to
help
them
fill
it
even
with
the
money
they
get
from
the
that
hundred
thousand
dollar
part
other
than
that
we
don't.
Typically,
the
city
doesn't
typically
go
to
that
pot.
We
leave
that
to
outside
entities
so
to
run
events
that
we
sponsor.
C
We
have
been
relying
in
the
past
few
years
on
this
money
for
the
downtown
initiative.
Now
I'm
not
saying
that
we're
going
to
spend
the
whole
400
000
this
coming
year.
The
last
time
you
gave
me
an
infusion
of
funds.
It
lasted
almost
two
years.
We
will
use
this
money
until
it
runs
out.
We'll
clearly
use
all
the
outdoor
dining
in
the
store
for
an
improvement
program,
but
I'm
not
sure
we're
going
to
use
the
full
150,
but
this
will.
C
This
was
a
free
cash
appropriation
it'll
continue
until
it's
exhausted,
so
it
may
be
that
I
come
to
you
next
year
for
some
money,
but
it
won't
necessarily
have
to
be
400
because
we'll
have
some
money
left
over.
I
don't
know
what
we'll
actually
spend
this
year,
but
we're
kind
of
running
out
of
money.
At
this
point.
F
A
C
Yes,
so
it
that
includes
two
specific
programs
program:
one
is
helping
outdoor
helping
restaurants
with
outdoor
dining
that
we're
going
to
allocate
of
this
150
75
000
to
that.
The
second
part
of
that
150
is
75
000
for
the
storefront
improvement
program.
Another
round
of
that
and
I'm
thinking
with
about
15
000
per
store.
We
could
do
like
five
stores,
but
maybe.
A
Okay,
alex
before
you
speak,
thank
you,
mr
manager,
so
just
want
to
get
clarification.
The
storefront
improvement
is
that,
like
the
artwork
that
we
saw
on
some
of
the
stores
and
on
the
side
of
the
businesses,
can
you
define
what
the
275
the
two
parts
are
part,
a
75,
000
and
part
b?
If
you
can
give
us
a
definition
of
what
that's
going
to
cover.
G
Absolutely
so
part
a
is
going
to
encompass
the
storefront
improvement
program,
so
that's
direct
funding
and
design
assistance
to
small
businesses
to
upgrade
signage,
exterior
lighting,
awnings
windows
and
other
facade
improvements
to
beautify
their
storefronts
and
increase
business
visibility.
The
second
part
of
funds
that
we're.
G
Are
painted
elements
of
the
facade
that
you
know
require
updating,
let's
say
the
paint's
been
shipping
and
it's
tired,
looking
painting
would
be
an
eligible
expense,
but
it's
not
usually
used
for,
like
murals
or
any
type
of
public
art.
This
is
strictly
for
signage
and
building
related
visibility,
improvements,
okay,.
G
Then
the
second
pot
of
funding
for
outdoor
dining,
we
ran
a
very
successful
outdoor
dining
program
last
year
that
is
consisting
of
five
thousand
up
to
five
thousand
dollars
per
business
for
outdoor
dining
setups,
either
on
the
sidewalk
or
with
city
approval,
on-street
parking
space
in
front
of
the
business.
The
funds
can
be
used
to
purchase
equipment
like
tables
and
chairs.
I
can
defray
costs
of
carpentry
some
businesses
created.
G
You
know,
standing
counters
as
well
as
planters
to
beautify
and
delineate
the
seating
area,
as
well
as
other
improvements
like
temporary
ada
ramps,
to
provide
accessibility.
So
on
average
last
year
you
know
we
saw
grants
around
four
thousand
to
five
thousand
dollars
per
business,
everything's
exorbitantly
more
expensive
this
year.
So
we
are
expecting
that
there
will
be.
You
know
reasonably
strong
demand
for
the
program
heading
into
the
summer
months.
A
If
I
could
just
say
this
yeah,
because
it's
been
in
the
news
for
a
few
weeks
in
boston,
a
lot
of
the
storefronts
and
a
lot
of
outdoor
dining
has
created
some
hazard
where
it's
been
an
impact
on
the
dpw
and
the
cleanup
crew
have
what
kind
of
feedback
are
we
getting?
There
are
people
complaining
about
some
of
the
issues
that
boston
residents
are
complaining
about
rodents
trash?
You
know,
because
it's
late
night
people
rushing
to
get
out
and
started
cleaning
up
the
premises.
G
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question,
so
our
downtown
businesses
that
participated
in
the
program
last
year,
you
know
diligently
maintained
their
spaces.
There
was
very
rarely
occasions
of
trash
or
any
unkempt
areas.
Nor
did
the
city
really
encounter
any
issues
with
maintenance
or
cleanliness
in
boston.
One
of
the
other
key
pieces
of
feedback
we
heard
from
businesses
was
about
the
complexity
of
the
application
process.
A
lot
of
businesses
thought
that
the
boston
application
was
too
complex,
so
we're
working
in
partnership
with
the
chamber
of
commerce
to
create
a
simplified
application.
G
G
So
that's
a
good
question
so
right
now
our
aim
is
to
make
this
funding
available
for
businesses
that
did
not
apply
and
receive
funding
last
year.
Additionally,
there
are
some
businesses
that
applied
last
year
that
didn't
use
the
funds,
so
we
will
be
monitoring
businesses
and
recapturing
funding
as
as
needed
this
year.
F
C
So
the
next
one
is
electronic
crosswalk
signage
for
fifty
thousand
dollars.
These
are
those
sort
of
push
button
things
that
light
up
when
someone
wants
to
utilize
a
crosswalk
they've
been
very
effective
in
our
downtown
and
in
some
other
high
traffic
high
pedestrian
traffic
areas,
they're
pricey
they're
about
23
000
apiece.
I'd
like
to
do
a
couple
more
one
place
where
we've
gotten
some
resident
demand
for
one
is
on
williams
and
winnisomet
crosswalk.
So
that's
a
spot.
C
C
Forbes
public
safety
improvements,
the
request
is
for
293
000.
So
last
year
you
provided
us
money
to
do
a
comprehensive
engineering
review
of
the
site.
We
are
concerned
about
some
of
the
structures
there
and
with
a
developer.
That's
not
moving
forward.
It's
you
know
the
city.
The
developer
has
the
ultimate
responsibility,
but
we
have
to
be
concerned
with
public
safety.
People
do
access
that
site
notwithstanding.
C
C
As
I
say
in
the
letter,
this
is
something
that
the
city
will
recover.
These
funds.
We
will
put
a
lien
on
the
property
and
eventually
we
will
get
all
of
our
money
back,
but
we
will
have
to
put
the
money
up
front
and
the
cost
of
the
work
that
we
want
to
do
this
spring
slash
summer
is
293
thousand
dollars
the
massport
noise
study.
This
is
something
that
this
council
has
requested
that
we
pursue.
C
C
We
put
a
halt
on
this
during
covid,
the
air
traffic
had
substantially
been
reduced.
It
is
starting
to
pick
up.
I
went
back
to
the
same
company,
have
a
new
price
for
the
project.
Again,
I
have
to
go
out
to
bid
for
this
work,
but
given
our
prior
experience,
there
aren't
many
bidders.
There
really
isn't
anyone
else
interested
in
this
work.
C
The
full-time
isd
building
inspector
is
the
this.
Was
a
council
order
to
put
our
part-time
inspector
on
to
full-time
for
his
full-time.
He
is
being
proposed
full-time
in
the
fy
23
budget.
This
will
allow
me
to
move
him
to
full-time
as
soon
as
the
council
approves
this
allocation
and
it's
relatively
short
money,
because
there's
only
a
few
months
left
in
the
fiscal
year.
A
H
C
Yes,
so
we
have
one
there's,
there's
four,
I'm
gonna!
I
need
to
see
this.
Let's
say:
there's
four
inspectors:
four
full-time
inspectors.
I
think
there's
five
full-time
inspectors,
there's
one
part-time
building
inspector
and
there's
a
need
for
they're.
Always
you
know
under
the
gun,
and
so,
if
there's
been
a
recognized
need
that
we
need
to
make
that
half-time
building
inspector
a
full-time
inspector,
I
had
committed
to
doing
that
in
the
fy
23
budget.
C
So
when
you
see
your
budget
fy23,
this
position,
which
is
currently
part-time,
will
be
in
that
budget
as
full-time
in
november,
or
so
the
council
had
put
a
council
order
in
to
move
the
person
up
to
full-time
immediately,
and
I
said
as
soon
as
I
have
money
to
do,
that
I'll
propose
it
to
the
council
and
I
had
to
wait
for
free
cash
to
get
certified.
It
got
certified.
C
A
Mr
manager,
anybody
else
have
a
question
if
I
go
mr
manager
regarding
the
noise
study,
I
know
we've
been,
you
know
talking
about
that
for
some
time
and
you
know
everyone
wants
to
find
out
what
we
can
do.
Can
you
tell
us
what
do
we
expect
to
get
with
the
hundred
and
forty
thousand
147
that
you're
asking
for.
C
So
there's
a
breakdown
of
their
cost.
That's
attached
to
the
letter,
and
basically
it
comes
it's
sort
of
these
three
chunks.
So
the
first
is
sort
of
a
historical
assessment
of
noise
at
logan
to
alert
us
to
what
noise
has
been
like
for
chelsea
over
time
and
how
the
current
situation
compares
to
that.
Then
there's
a
actual
analysis
of
real-time
noise
for
one
full
month,
they're
going
to
study
this
the
situation
of
noise
by
tracking
every
plane
that
comes
in
and
out
of
logan
for
one
month
and
then
the
third
piece
of
it
is.
C
They
will
continue
that
analysis
for
12
months
after
that,
after
we,
the
idea
is
they'll.
Do
it
for
one
month
we'll
pause,
we'll
look
at
their
analysis,
we'll
potentially
tweak
their
model
a
little
bit.
Ask
them
to
look
at
different
things,
and
then
once
we
have
an
agreement
on
what
the
full
year
scope
study
should
look
like.
They'll
proceed
for
one
full
year,
analyzing
noise
from
every
single
plane,
and
they
model
this.
C
They
basically
have
all
of
the
details
of
every
single
type
of
plane
that
takes
off
from
logan
they
in
real
time.
They
know
which
plane
is
taking
off
what
the
model
is,
and
they
will
do
an
analysis
of
the
noise
for
a
full
year
and
they'll
do
that
for
a
full
year,
because
that
is
how
the
faa
requires
massport
to
model
noise,
it's
a
full
year's
noise
modeled
and
then
it's
the
average
of
the
noise
that
determines
what
the
impact
on
a
community
is.
According
to
the
faa,
I'm
not
saying
that's
right,
that's
correct!
A
C
No
but
we'll
at
least
be
able
to
say
hey,
we
did
the
analysis,
your
numbers
as
we
knew
aren't
right.
Here's
what
our
numbers
show
and
they'll
say.
Well,
you
did
it
wrong
your
exports,
don't
know
what
they're
doing
we're
the
experts,
that's
where
we'll
be,
but
at
least
we'll
have
something.
Whereas
right
now
we
have
nothing.
A
C
C
It
hasn't
increased
a
penny
despite
inflation,
so
one
argue
that
that's
insufficient
to
say,
and
by
the
way
we've
been
asking
you
to
donate
to
a
park
on
the
waterfront,
just
like
you've
done
for
east
boston
and
we're
not
asking
for
20
million
for
a
park
like
you
gave
them.
We
want
a
few
million
for
our
waterfront
park
that
you've
put
some
money
into
that.
We
have
land
from
the
commonwealth
for
so
it'll
be
trying
to
convince
them
to
do
that
with
a
little
more
evidence
more
ammunition.
E
E
E
Meanwhile,
historical
data
had
shown
that
massport's
increase
of
its
flights
from
the
original
expansion
in
the
1990s
did
not
go
up
12
as
they
had
predicted
and
had
based
their
model
on
the
sound
mitigation
program
for
chelsea.
No.
Instead,
it
went
up
18
to
25
percent,
so
we
were
getting
many
more
planes
than
what
we
were
told.
We
were
going
to
get
when
they
did
their
original
model
on
the
original
style
mitigation
program
in
the
city
of
chelsea.
E
When
I
attended
massport
meetings
on
both
the
expansion
and
on
the
newest
numbers
that
they
were
saying-
and
this
is
pre-covered-
they
actually
said
guess
what
our
planes
are
quieter
and
even
though
we
have
many
more
planes
flying
over
the
community,
the
impact
or
the
mitigation
zone
has
now
contracted,
and
some
of
the
very
same
homes
that
had
previously
qualified
for
sound
mitigation
in
chelsea
were
no
longer,
and
it
was
unfathomable
to
myself
that.
How
can
you
tell
me
you
have
increased
the
number
of
flights
by
25
percent.
E
A
E
The
idea
is
that
we
get
and
again
along
with
this
idea,
that
I'm
looking
to
have
them
push
or
expand
the
mitigation
area
of
the
city
of
chelsea
to
other
parts
where
they
currently
do
not
think
that
it
deserves.
My
idea
was
from
the
top
of
bellingham
hill
and
I
lived
there
for
years.
You
can
hear
those
planes,
and
I
know
all
the
residents
below
me
could
hear
the
planes
they
did
not
take
into
account
topography
or
such,
and
so
they
say
that
area
did
not
qualify.
E
I
beg
to
differ
as
someone
who
experienced
it
myself
and
I
want
those
residents,
although
I
don't
want
to
live
on
that
hill
anymore.
I
still
want
those
residents
to
get
the
sound
proofing
that
they
deserve
because
they
should
desert.
They
need
to
sleep,
and
there
are
studies
now
that
have
come
out
about
the
environmental
and
health
impacts
of
this
noise
that
comes
out,
but
historically,
what
happened
is
just
as
we
were
ready
to.
Finally,
because
it
took-
and
I
credit
the
city
manager
I
want
to
you-
know-
give
him
credit
for
this.
E
So
that's
why
it
took
us
so
long
to
get
this
contract,
and
I
applaud
the
city
manager
for
his
diligence
and
finally
finding
a
company
that
could
do
the
work
that
we
need
to
try
to
see
if
we
can
actually
get
some
real
mitigation
from
massport
have
an
argument
and
he's
not
as
litigatious
as
I
am.
But
I
would
say
you
know
arm
the
torpedoes.
E
C
It
probably
wouldn't
start
until
september,
because
they
will
first
do
the
first
phase,
which
is
this
historical
review
of
noise
at
massport.
I
would
expect
assuming
the
council
were
to
approve
this
appropriation
in
april.
I
have
to
go
out
to
bid,
they
will
be
a
bitter
they'll,
probably
be
under
contract,
let's
say
by
july
first
they
could
probably
do
phase
one.
The
study,
the
historical
study
during
the
course
of
the
summer
and
then
hopefully
be
ready
to
start
the
modeling
analysis
in
september.
C
C
Yeah,
so
I
have
a
little
bit
of
a
breakdown.
Alex
can
probably
identify
this
more,
but
it's
mostly
repairing
some
of
the
fence
work
cutting
back
some
of
the
vegetation
and
boarding
up
some
of
the
lower
level
buildings
that
would
prevent
people
from
climbing
easily
in
that's
not
to
say
people
can't
make
their
way
into
these
buildings
they
can,
but
we
want
to
just
it's
too
easy.
Now
we'll
be
doing
some
brought
up
of
first
floor
areas
and
cutting
vegetation
doing
some
fence
work,
some
sight
work,
it's
broke,
there's
a
breakdown
in
again.
A
G
We
can
share
an
illustrative
plan
after
this,
but,
as
the
city
manager
indicated
we're
planning
on
boarding
up
all
of
the
windows
on
the
first
floor
of
all
three
buildings,
as
well
as
some
areas
on
the
second
floor,
next
features
that
can
be
climbed
easily,
like,
for
instance,
there
are
some
open
windows
next
to
ladders
and
pipes
that
folks
could
scale
up.
There's
some
asbestos
and
lead
abatement
involved
with
this.
H
G
Not
on
the
actual
site,
you
know
the
closest
camera
would
be
on
crescent
ave.
The
site
does
have
surveillance
cameras
that
are
overseen
by
a
private
security
contractor.
They
have
been
intermittently
employed
by
the
developer.
When
we
were
last
there,
it
wasn't
clear
whether
or
not
the
security
personnel
were
still
monitoring
the
site.
C
Yes,
so
we
have
done
all
the
necessary
legal
work
so
that
once
we
do
the
work,
we
will
proceed
under
a
statutory
process
that
eventually
will
allow
the
city
to
recover
its
money
in
the
tax
taking
process.
So
eventually,
assuming
we
jump
through
all
of
these
procedural
hoops,
we
will
file
an
accounting
with
the
land
court
and,
after
a
certain
amount
of
time,
goes
by
and
we're
not
paid
by
the
developer.
We
will
then
be
allowed
to
add
that
money
to
their
tax
bill,
we'll
add
290
000
to
one
of
their
tax
bills.
C
Usually,
probably
if
we
did
this,
if
everything
worked
out
right-
and
we
got
this
all
done-
I
think
we
can
add
this
to
the
november
tax
bill.
The
tax
bill
goes
out
on
october,
1st.
It
might
be
the
january
one
tax
bill,
that's
due
on
february
the
first
and
then,
if
they
fail
to
pay
us,
we
will
proceed
with
a
tax
taking
process,
but.
C
If
we,
if
the
money,
goes
on
the
tax
bill
and
we
don't
get
paid,
we
will
put
them
into
tax
title
and
seek
foreclosure
of
the
property.
Now
at
some
point,
the
developer
will
just
pay
us
because
the
land
is
probably
worth
40
million
dollars
and
they're
not
going
to
lose
it
over
290
000.
But
eventually,
if
the
developer
ignored
us,
the
land
court
would
grant
the
city
the
ownership
of
the
property
and.
C
A
I
C
So
that
would
be
an
interesting
question
for
a
jury
someday
in
a
court
if
someone
got
hurt
and
they
presented
evidence
that
the
city
was
well
aware
of
danger
on
this
property
had
sent
the
owner
numerous
notices,
but
then
never
did
anything
about
it.
So
it
gets
me
a
little
worried,
which
is
why
I
want
to
take
these
steps.
C
I
A
It's
a
safeguard
for
the
city
and
it's
also
a
win
for
us
because
again,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
at
some
point,
they're
going
to
argue
exactly
what
the
manager
stated
that
the
city
did
nothing,
we're
responsible,
we're
saying
that
we
did
everything
and
we
have
the
work
to
show
it.
We
have
the
appropriation
and
the
investment.
C
So
these
next
five
are
all
dpw
related
much
of
it
over
time,
so
the
first
one
is
not
overtime.
This
is
direct
work.
This
is
our
asking
the
council
for
320
000
to
get
started
on
some
additional
capital
projects
that
aren't
in
the
fy23
cip.
Some
of
these
kind
of
came
up
at
the
last
minute
they
or
they
were
things
that
we
decided
to
do
after
the
cip
was
implemented,
or
they
were
relatively
small.
We
just
would
like
with
this
extra
money.
We
decided
well,
let's
try
to
get
them
done.
C
C
So
that's
item,
one,
that's
320,
000!
There's
some
of
this
work,
the
smaller
piece
of
it
would
be
done
by
our
own
crews
on
saturday
and
sunday
hours.
So
that's
the
second
one,
building
in
grounds
overtime,
we're
asking
for
another
35
000.
again.
That
puts
us
in
line
with
what
we
actually
have
spent
for
the
last
few
years.
C
C
C
This
account
has
just
been
underfunded
and
I
have
to
take
some
responsibility
for
it,
but
we're
always
trying
you
know,
particularly
during
covet
we're
trying
to
keep
our
expenses
down,
but
I
demand
a
lot
of
dpw
a
lot
almost
every
week.
I'm
saying
do
this
put
guys
on
saturday
and
sunday
to
do
that.
We
do
a
lot
of
work
on
after
hours
and
on
weekends.
C
We
are
in
deficit
in
this
account,
and
this
is
the
amount
that
would
be
necessary
both
to
pay
the
deficit
and
to
continue
the
current
level
of
service
that
we're
delivering
to
our
residents
on
a
weekly
basis,
including
work
after
hours
and
on
saturdays
and
sundays.
That's
160,
000
and
the
last
one
is
water
and
sewer.
C
This
is
additional
money
about
35
000,
each
in
water
and
sewer
to
deal
with
the
typical
springtime
things
that
occur
in
a
old,
antiquated
water
and
sewer
system.
You
know
you
when
they
were
through
this
this
cycle,
where
it
gets
cold
at
night,
then
it's
warm
during
the
day,
there's
a
cold
again
at
night.
It
generates
a
lot
of
breaks
in
places
where
pipes
are
old
and
certainly
pipes
in
the
city
are
very
old.
C
F
C
C
C
I
am
going
to
be
recommending
the
fy
23
budget
to
finally
get
up
to
the
13
we
originally
projected,
but
we're
still
operating
this
department
with
two
employees
less
than
what
we
projected
when
we
originally
sought
to
take
it
over.
We
were
proposing
to
get
up
to
13.
during
covid.
We
purposely
left
it
a
little
underfunded
and
maintained
only
a
contingent
of
11,
but,
as
I
said
in
the
fy
23
budget,
I
am
proposing
to
get
up
to
the
13
that
was
originally
presented
to
the
council
back
when
we
requested
the
takeover
of
this
department.
C
Okay,
the
deficit
so
there's
four
other
deficits
that
are
out
there.
The
first
is
outside
legal
services.
This
is
a
tough
account
to
judge
every
year,
but
we
are
about
20.
We
anticipate
that
by
the
end
of
the
year
we'll
need
about
25
000.
I
will
say
there
is
one
significant
public
safety
disciplinary
case.
That's
eating
up
a
fair
amount
of
outside
legal
services.
It's
a
case
currently
at
civil
service.
We've
had
one
full
day
of
hearing.
C
C
Mapc
got
out
of
the
business
at
in
the
late
spring,
and
every
municipality
then
had
to
rebid
on
their
own
and
the
rebid
for
the
city
of
chelsea,
the
low
bid
came
in
112
000
more
than
what
we
had
budgeted
had.
We
remained
in
that
regional
effort.
There
were
a
lot
of
reasons
why
mapc
pulled
out
of
this
contract,
and
I
don't
know
all
the
details.
All
I
know
is
that,
at
the
end
of
the
day
they
weren't
prepared
to
go
forward
and
all
the
municipalities
were
stuck
pursuing.
Independent
efforts.
C
Solid
waste
disposal
is
up
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
This
was
something
we
saw
in
fiscal
year
22,
but
I'm
sorry.
This
is
something
we
saw
in
fiscal
year
21
during
covet
and
when
we
were
preparing
the
budget
for
fiscal
year
22,
we
thought
this
is
a
covet
aberration,
because
there's
so
much
trash
was
being
collected.
We
thought
it
would
sort
of
go
back
to
normal
in
fy
22,
so
we
budgeted
our
normal.
C
C
C
Yes,
it's
disposal
cost
it's
the
cost
of
disposal.
We
pay
on
a
per
ton
basis
at
risco,
so
it's
purely
a
matter
of
how
much
tonnage
you
dump
at
resco.
We
have
a
long-term
contract
with
resco
and
it
has
a
annual
price
that
escalates
each
year,
but
it's
a
per
ton
cost
and
so
because
we're
picking
up
more
trash,
we
are
disposing
more
at
rescue.
C
C
C
D
C
Once
a
week
to
your
part
of
the
city,
they
take
your
barrels
whatever's
there
they
pick
up.
Now
we
still
supposed
to
pick
up
whatever's
there,
so
that
doesn't
change.
That's
a
pure
contract
price.
It
has
a
recycling
component,
it's
a
contract
with
the
trash
removal
vendor
and
we
have
a
company
that
does
that
it's
under
contract
they
are
only
under
contract
for
one
more
year.
So
that
is
a
that
is
a
contract.
C
We
may
have
to
go
out
to
bid
for
next
year,
but
we
have
them
under
contract
for
this
year
and
they're
under
contract
for
fy23.
That's
a
set
price.
We
know
what
that
is.
It
never
changes
notwithstanding
how
much
trash
they
pick
up.
However,
if
they
pick
up
a
lot
more
trash
and
they
go
to
resco
to
dispose
of
it,
resco
simply
charges
a
price
per
ton.
So
that
number
is
just
it's
a
flat
per
ton
number.
C
C
We
did
see
this
in
fiscal
year
21,
but
we
didn't
budget
for
that
increase
in
fy
22,
because
we
we
thought
we
would
come
back
to
sort
of
a
normal
level
of
trash
in
the
city.
But
we
never
did
it
stayed
at
that
sort
of
post-covet
high
level
and
so
we're
short
of
money
this
year
for
next
year
the
trash
disposal
number
will
be
up
and
you
will
see
that
in
your
fy
23
budget.
So
I'm
hopeful
that
next
spring,
I'm
not
coming
back
to
you.
J
J
J
J
K
J
Also,
I
have
another
question
regarding
that:
you
know
we.
We
pay
a
contract
to
them
right
to
pick
up
trash
in
chelsea,
but
if
they
forgot
my
house,
for
example,
because
they're
doing
construction,
they
don't
come
and
pick
it
up.
12
o'clock,
they're
done
they're
gone.
You
call
nobody
answer
so
that
tries
to
stay
there
to
the
next
day.
If
we
pay
a
contract
to
pick
up
trash,
how
how
come
they
don't
come
back
and
pick
it
up
so.
K
I
believe
the
previous
vendor
there
were
a
lot
more
problems
with
that.
I
believe
the
current
vendor
we've
worked
with,
and
my
assessment
is
that
they're
doing
a
better
job,
certainly
a
significantly
better
job
than
the
previous
vendor.
That's
not
to
say
that
we
don't
have
instances
where
this
still
occurs.
K
K
I
don't
think
we
have
a
perfect
system,
but
I
think
our
system
continues
to
get
better.
We
could
certainly
we
could
certainly
work
on
that.
A
little
bit
more
3-1-1
is
another
opportunity
for
folks
to
kind
of
identify
that,
because
you
know,
3-1-1
input
gets
response
faster
than
necessarily
so
if
you're
calling
dpw
like,
if
you
call
you
know,
hopefully
you're
gonna,
you'll
you'll
you'll
get
an
answer
and
you'll
get
somebody
to
to
go
right
away.
K
C
We
we
just
gave
them
a
one-year
extension
until
the
end
of
june
of
2023,
and
I
did
that
because
we
were
looking
at
one
point.
The
council
passed
an
order
to
ask
us
to
consider
bringing
this
in-house,
which
I'm
not
inclined
to
do,
but
the
council
asked
me
to
look
at
that,
and
I
did
look
at
it
twice.
There
were
two
different
council
orders.
We
looked
at
it
once
the
numbers
didn't
make
sense
the
second
time
we
looked
at
it,
because
these
these
trash
numbers
are
going
up
pretty
dramatically.
C
C
C
My
guess
is,
they
would
give
us
the
best
competitive
bid
for
a
five-year
contract,
their
their
one-year
extension
was
very
favorable.
So
that
was
an
easy
choice
to
make.
They
only
went
up
about
thirty
thousand
dollars
or
so
on
their
price.
So
it
was
a.
It
was
a
pretty
modest,
like
three
percent
increase
in
costs.
C
You
know
this
would
be
a
bid
we
would
likely
put
out
in
january
february
of
next
year
for
a
five-year
contract
we'll
get
all
the
major
players
will
bid
bfi
capital
waste,
their
non-union
company,
whatever
that's
called
and
we'll
you
know
we'll
waste
management
or
bid.
So
there's
there's
a
handful
of
bidders
in
this
world,
but
this
company,
my
guesses,
will
likely
give
us
the
best
bid.
Will
it
be
more
than
we're
paying
an
fy23,
probably,
but
we'll
just
have
to
see
what
the
numbers
come
in
at.
F
H
H
C
It's
not
doesn't
go
to.
Resco
goes
to
a
different
location.
At
one
point
you
know
a
decade
ago,
municipalities
made
money
on
recycling.
That's
why
there
was
a
big
push
to
get
residents
to
recycle
because
every
ton
of
recycling
you
collected
you
made
money
on
it
today,
reese
to
dispose
of
recycling
you
you
have
to
pay
to
dispose
of
it
and
it's
typically
a
higher
rate
than
it
is
at
resco.
C
So
I
don't
have
the
resco
contract
in
front
of
me,
but
my
memory
is
we're
probably
paying
around
eighty
dollars
a
ton,
maybe
a
little
less,
to
dispose
of
our
regular
trash
and
recycling
disposal
at
one
point
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago
was
a
hundred
and
twenty
dollars
a
ton.
It's
come
down
a
bit,
but
I
still
think
it
exceeds
what
it
costs
at
resco.
Although
I
don't
have
current
numbers
in
front
of
me,.
J
C
F
C
This
company
that
acquired
russell
is
a
actually
a
union
contract
company
they've,
actually,
I
feel,
have
been
quite
good,
I'm
not
saying
they're
perfect,
but
I
will
say
that
the
level
of
complaints
that
have
come
into
my
office
from
boston
karting
is
significantly
less
than
it
was
with
russell
disposal.
So
anecdotally,
I
can
tell
you
they
seem
to
be
doing
a
better
job
than
our
previous
vendor
without
saying
they're
doing
a
perfect
job.
C
F
J
K
I'm
not
gonna
lie,
I
personally
don't
do
it.
I
know
that
they
show
up
and
stop
at
the
city
yard
as
part
of
their
normal
operation.
I
believe
that's,
usually
the
first
stop.
They
also
empty
the
dumpsters
at
our
at
our
facility.
So
I
know
eyes
from
dpw
are
put
on
those,
I'm
not
going
to
say
that
we
do
it
every
single
day
or
that
I've
monitored
every
single
day.
We
can
certainly,
you
know,
put
more
of
a
focus
on
that.
F
C
This
one-year
contract,
as
I
said,
was
pretty
competitive.
It
was
a
very
small
increase
over
last
year,
so
I
just
don't
know
I'm
hoping
that
this
company,
I
know,
they're
very
interested
in
the
city's
work.
They
said
they
would
aggressively
bid
if
we
put
out
a
five-year
contract.
So
I
expect
they
will
do
that.
C
C
I
will
make
a
decision
as
to
whether
we're
going
to
move
this
stuff
in-house
or
we're
going
to
go
out
for
a
five-year
bid
by
the
end
of
this
calendar
year.
I
would
strongly
expect
I'm
going
to
make
a
decision
to
go
out
we'll
put
a
bid
together
in
the
winter
put
it
on
the
street,
say
late
february,
so
that
we
can
have
plenty
of
time
to
get
a
vendor
under
contract
for
july
1
2023
for
a
five-year
contract.
C
G
D
We
just
do
regular
business
with
they
have
been
sending
us
notices,
saying
you
know,
there's
now
an
additional
charge,
things
like
we
get
concrete
from
boston,
sand
and
gravel
the
next
time
we
order
from
them
when
we
start
work
in
the
spring.
We
already
know
that
we'll
be
paying
a
little
bit
more,
but
that
type
of
contract
just
goes
for
one
year
at
a
time,
and-
and
so
we're
not
locked
in
to
pricing
for
three
years.
C
A
C
C
They
have
the
money
available
in
old,
school
cip
accounts
that
are
not
no
longer
necessary
either
they
were
closed
out
and
have
a
surplus
or
they
never
ended
up
spending
any
of
the
money
because
they
had
another
source
of
funding.
So
there
are
four
transfers
they're
all
close
out.
An
old
cip
school
account,
transfer
it
to
this
project
to
complete
the
rehabilitation
of
77
webster
ave.
C
There
is
another
letter
coming
to
you
from
monday
night
for
another
school
department
project,
proposing
the
same
exact
thing
to
do:
work
on
the
chelsea
high
school
roof;
okay,
closing
out
four
old
cip
projects,
freeing
up
money
to
do
that
that
work
that
that
letter,
I
think,
is
before
will
be
before
you
for
monday
april
11th.
I
don't
think
I
sent
it
down
because
I'm
still
waiting
for
the
I'm
still
waiting
for
the
exact
orders
from
the
auditor.
