Description
City of Chelsea
B
I
want
us
all
to
not
only
remember
those
who
were
killed
on
that
day
in
new
york
city,
washington
dc
and
on
the
field
in
shanksville
pennsylvania,
but
also
those
first
responders
who
died
later
from
illnesses
from
working
at
the
world
trade
center
site
and
also
those
who
are
serving
in
afghanistan.
As
a
result
of
that
response
to
the
terrorist
attack.
B
B
To
preserve
his
legacy
and
transcend
transcend
his
wisdom
and
philosophy,
philosophies
to
modern
day
chelsea
and
beyond,
and
in
recognition
of
the
former
chelsea
born
resident
on
september,
4th
1848
son
of
an
escaped
slaves,
great
19th
century
inventor,
electrical
engineer
and
historical
figure,
and
whereas
in
1882
latimer
invented
a
device
for
efficiently
manufacturing.
The
carbon
filaments
used
in
electric
lamps
and
shaded
patent
for
the
maximum
electrical
electric
lamp
and
whereas
latimer
patented
a
thread
threaded
wooden,
socket
for
light
bulbs
and
supervise
the
installation
of
electrical
street
lights
in
new
york
city,
philadelphia,
montreal
and
london.
B
B
Therefore,
let
it
be
resolved
that,
on
behalf
of
the
residents
of
the
city
of
chelsea,
the
chelsea
city
council
wished
to
go
on
record
to
congratulate
the
lewis,
h,
latimer
society,
on
this
success
and
many
years
of
service.
And
may
you
have
many
more
years
of
presenting
lewis
h
latimer
to
the
community
and
beyond,
introduced
by
city
councilor,
leo
robinson,
council
robinson.
C
I
adopt
this
unanimously
under
suspension
if
there
are
no
objections.
Seeing
none
just
want
to
illustrate
the
fact
that
louis
latimer
and
thomas
edison
had
a
connection
here
in
chelsea.
For
those
of
you
who
know
the
corner
of
chestnut
and
beacon
street
was
a
building
that
used
to
provide
electricity
to
the
city
of
chelsea.
C
D
He
was
very
helpful
in
the
telephone
and
also
the
light
bulbs
where
we
have
the
lights
here
today.
So
every
time
you
get
a
chance
to
recognize
the
work
of
such
a
genius
of
a
person
who
made
a
remarkable
accomplishment
to
our
american
history,
it's
worthy
to
recognize.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
council
again
for
recognizing
that.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
B
They
have
enhanced
and
shaped
our
local
and
national
character
with
centuries
old
traditions
that
reflect
the
multi-ethnic
and
multicultural
customs
of
their
community,
and
whereas
there
are
more
than
sixty
million
five
hundred
thousand
latinos
living
in
the
united
states,
compromising
nearly
twenty
percent
of
the
population
and
the
data
shows
that
the
latino
americans
earned
more
than
one
trillion
dollars
and
paid
more
than
275
billion
dollars
in
taxes.
In
2019
alone
and
whereas
of
the
12.2
million
business
owners
in
the
united
states.
B
One
world
war
ii,
the
korean
war,
the
vietnam
war,
both
iraq
wars
and
the
afghan
war
and
many
conflicts
around
the
world
in
the
service
to
the
united
states
and
whereas
latino
americans
are
dedicated
public
servants
holding
close
at
the
highest
levels
of
government
in
the
united
states.
Now
there
be
now.
E
So
we
welcome
you,
I
know
there's
an
event
on
saturday
september
18th
there
will
be
a
parade
starting
at
the
welsh
funeral
home
and
it
will
go
all
the
way
downtown
to
chelsea
square.
So
everyone
is
welcome
to
to
join
a
little
bit
about
the
fourth
floor
and
the
central
american
communities,
but
of
course
there
will
be
more
events
to
attend
throughout
this
month.
So
thank
you
councillor
for
really
highlighting
the
importance
of
national
latino
heritage
month.
D
President,
I
want
to
commend
you
on
this
year.
We
do
it
every
year,
I'm
special
this
year.
We
can
actually
get
out
and
do
some
of
the
things
that
counselor
garcia
spoke
about,
but
it's
great
to
recognize
the
history
and
not
only
the
history,
but
the
contributions
of
the
latinos
sacrifice
and
also
the
great
work
they've
done
in
our
nation
on
this
month.
D
We
honor
it
whether
it
be
from
south
america,
north
america,
central
america,
the
caribbean,
we
go
out
and
honor,
but
as
council
gracie
are
also
stated,
there's
a
lot
of
festivities
going
on.
This
is
the
time,
throughout
the
month
of
september,
from
the
15th
to
august
15th
that
you
can
actually
go
out
and
celebrate
down
at
some
of
our
restaurants
and
help
them
bring
some
economy
funding
back
to
their
restaurant.
So
this
is
a
great
time
that
we
can
go
out
and
support
it.
D
I
know
I've
seen
a
few
of
us
out
there
already,
but
it's
really
important
that
we
go
out
and
try
to
really
spur
the
excitement
of
this
part
of
the
year
on
the
weather
is
still
nice.
Unfortunately,
we're
still
dealing
with
covets.
So
why
don't
we
be
safe
and
also
cautious,
but
also
be
very
respectful
this
time
of
month
and
try
to
help
out
our
communities
as
councillor
average
genetics
stated
about
the
money
that
we
spend
and
the
money
that
they
generate.
It's
needed
more
just
so
this
time
of
year.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
D
B
D
B
Seeing
none
we'll
now
move
on
to
the
next
item
on
our
agenda.
We
have
a
celebratory
resolution
introduced
by
council
zabbit
regarding
rosh
hashanah
and
yom
kippur,
whereas
the
beginning
of
sundown
on
september,
6
2021,
the
jewish
people
celebrate
the
holy
days
of
rosh
hashanah
and
the
new
year
and
the
day
of
atonement,
5782
and
whereas
jews
have
been
a
part
of
the
american
fabrics
of
1654.
B
By
1890,
there
were
82
jews
in
chelsea
and
by
1910
there
were
eleven
thousand
jews
or
one-third
of
the
total
population
and
by
the
1930s.
The
jewish
community.
Con
constituted
almost
one-half
of
the
city's
population
and
whereas
chelsea
jews
were
early
in
active
participation
in
political
and
military
life
and
elected
to
local
government
positions
as
all
the
men
and
on
the
school
committee,
and
contributed
greatly
to
the
rich
social,
economic
and
spiritual
fabric
of
the
city
that
exists
today.
B
And
whereas
one
time
there
were
21
fully
functioning
synagogues
in
the
city
of
chelsea
and
a
driving
community
of
jews
among
the
myriad
of
immigrants
from
all
nations.
And
whereas
today,
the
population
of
chelsea
is
made
up
of
a
diverse
and
eclectic
group
of
immigrants
from
all
over
the
world
who
contribute
to
the
vitality
and
powerful
sense
of
community
in
the
city.
And
this
year,
5782
continues
to
bring
unique
challenges
across
the
globe
and
within
the
city.
Due
to
the
present
health
crisis
of
covet
19.
B
And
whereas
the
chelsea
jewish
commitment
is
to
repair
the
world
and
correct
injustice
is
directed
against
the
jewish
community
and
all
faiths
and
ethnicities,
and
not
to
tolerate
racism
or
bigotry
wherever
it
may
be
found.
Whereas
now,
therefore,
will
be
resolved
at
the
city
council
of
chelsea
and
the
residents
of
chelsea
honors.
The
jewish
new
year
of
5782
and
joins
the
jewish
community
in
continuing
to
endorse
the
goal
of
social
equity
on
this
date,
introduced
by
council
naomi
zabin
council
zabrit.
What
is
your
wish.
F
D
I
know,
as
council
stated,
this
is
a
good
another
time
of
the
year
that
we
usually
get
together
these
big
fish,
these
big
feasts
and
out
and
enjoying
family
and
different
types
of
foods
and
the
apples-
and
you
know
the
good
stuff,
but
it's
still,
you
know
we're
still
dealing
with
the
covert.
We
thought
it
was
behind
us
it's
in
front
of
us.
D
B
Seeing
no
other
speakers
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
item
on
the
agenda,
the
approval
of
the
minutes.
We
have
special,
I'm
sorry
skipping
over
the
section
of
we
now
move
on
to
public
speaking.
If
there's
anyone
in
the
audience
that
would
like
to
speak
to
the
city
council
on
any
matters,
please
come
up
to
the
microphone
state,
your
name
and
address,
and
you
will
be
given
four
minutes
to
address
the
council.
B
A
Communication
from
the
city
manager
requests
to
appropriate
commonwealth
transportation
infrastructure
funds.
Dear
counselors,
I
am,
I
need
to
request
that
the
city
council
appropriate
forty
five
thousand
twenty
six
dollars
in
available
funds
from
the
commonwealth
transportation
infrastructure
fund
to
assist
in
our
existing
fy,
22
street
and
sidewalk
program.
If
approved,
the
appropriated
funds
would
supplement
our
existing
dpw
road
improvement
line
item
and
will
be
spent
by
the
city
before
the
close
of
fy22.
A
These
extra
funds
available
for
appropriation
come
from
the
recent
annual
distribution
to
the
city
based
upon
rides
originating
in
chelsea
from
transportation
network
companies
such
as
uber
and
lyft
as
part
of
the
new
regulatory
scheme,
tncs
are
required
to
pay
the
commonwealth
a
20
cent
per
ride
assessment.
One
half
of
that
assessment
is
distributed
proportionately
to
each
city
and
town
in
the
commonwealth,
based
upon
a
number
of
rides
that
originate
in
the
municipality
for
calendar
year.
A
2020,
the
city
of
chelsea,
of
this
assessment
based
upon
tnc
company
rides
originating
in
chelsea,
was
five
thousand
twenty
six
dollars.
The
massachusetts
department
of
revenue
has
previously
determined
that
local
communities
must
specifically
appropriate
these
tnc
funds.
In
order
to
be
spent
further,
the
funds
must
be
utilized
to
address
the
impact
of
transportation
network
services
on
municipal
roads,
bridges
and
other
transportation
infrastructure.
A
Accordingly,
I
am
asking
now
that
the
forty
five
thousand
twenty
six
dollars
available
to
chose
to
be
appropriated
to
the
dpw
streets
and
sidewalks
capital
road
improvement
line
item
to
be
used
for
remaining
fy
22
roadway
work.
I've
attached
the
order
to
accomplish
the
request,
account
election
council
robertson.
B
We
have
the
next
communication
from
the
scene
manager
regarding
the
changes
to
the
administrative
code,
dear
counselors
and
city
clerk,
citron
white
pursuant
to
section
6-1,
a
of
the
chelsea
city
car
chelsea
city
charter,
I'm
writing
to
to
notify
you
that
I
have
promulgated
three
new
administrative
orders
amending
the
administrative
code.
These
changes
are
as
follows:
one
the
first
amendment
codifies
a
new
office
of
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion.
B
The
second
amendment
changes
the
name
of
community
schools,
advisory
board
to
a
community
recreation
advisory
board
and
reduces
its
membership
to
seven
members.
The
third
amendment
reduces
the
membership
of
the
youth
commission
to
seven
members.
We've
had
difficulty
filling
the
previous
rules.
Council
robinson.
A
Dear
councillors,
I
am
writing
in
response
to
the
recent
council
lottery
order,
requesting
information
on
the
process
for
keeping
track
of
parking
ticket
payments
parking
ticket
payments
are
handled
exclusively
by
the
treasurer's
office
when
a
payment
is
made,
the
clerk
scans
the
ticket
and
enters
the
payment
into
the
software
system.
If
the
customer
does
not
have
the
physical
ticket
with
them,
the
plate,
number
or
name
is
keyed
into
the
system
to
locate
unpaid
violations.
A
The
payment
is
tied
directly
to
the
parking
ticket
number.
So
at
any
time,
the
treasurer's
office
can
determine
if
a
ticket
has
been
paid
by
searching
for
the
parking
ticket
number.
That
information
is
always
available.
The
receipts
on
parking
tickets
are
reconciled
on
a
daily
basis
to
ensure
accuracy
between
process
tickets
and
funds
received.
A
When
a
payment
is
made,
the
customer
has
provided
a
receipt.
The
receipt
is
proof
of
payment.
The
city
can
always
determine
in
its
system
whether
repayment
has
been
made
by
checking
the
ticket
number
and
the
system.
The
software
will
confirm
whether
or
not
payment
was
made
for
that
specific
ticket
number.
Of
course,
it
is
possible
and
never
can
occur
in
data
processing,
such
as
that
payment
made
by
a
customer
is
not
tied
to
the
correct
ticket
number.
However,
in
the
real
circumstances,
where
such
errors
occur,
the
customer's
receipt
will
be
the
proof
of
payment.
H
G
It
seems
like
that's
the
way
it's
going
to
be.
If
you
lose
your
ticket
like
estates
here,
ferrous
happen
and
they
can't
find
it
and
you
lose
your
ticket,
you
can
pro
come
out
and
show
them
your
ticket.
You're
still
gonna
have
to
pay
again.
So
my
advice
to
everybody
that
has
this
problem
is
a
simple
problem:
don't
pay
with
cash
pay
with
a
check
that
way,
you
keep
your
receipt,
no
matter
what
it
is.
You
put
your
res,
your
number
of
your
ticket
and
your
receipt.
That
way
there
could
never
be
a
mistake.
G
So
do
not
pay
your
tickets
with
cash,
because
if
you
pay
with
cash
and
you
lose
your
receipt
and
they
don't
happen
to
find
it
again,
that
means
you're.
Gonna
have
to
pay
all
over
again.
So
to
avoid
all
the
problems
for
that
just
pay
with
a
check
or
pay
with
a
credit
card.
That
way,
you
could
never
they
can
never
charge.
You
double
otherwise
make
sure
you
keep
your
receipt.
B
We'll
move
on
to
the
next
communication
receipt
from
city
manager
tomorrow,
zina
regarding
the
appointment
of
the
chair
of
the
board
of
assessors,
their
counselor's
person,
went
to
section
4.2
of
the
charter,
the
city
of
chelsea.
I'm
writing
to
recommend
that
the
city
council
approve
mr
michael
flynn,
23
thelma
road
dorchester.
As
the
new
chair
of
the
chelsea
board
of
assessors
mr
flynn,
will
replace
the
acting
chief
of
assessing
jim
sullivan,
whose
term
expired
on
june.
30
2021,
mr
flynn's
term
would
run
until
june
30th
2024.
B
Although
mr
flynn
will
chair
the
board,
mr
sullivan
will
remain
as
acting
chief
of
assessing.
As
you
know,
the
city
has
been
seeking
a
new
permanent
chief
of
assessing
for
some
time
to
replace
mary
lou
ireland.
That
search
for
her
replacement
continues.
In
the
meantime,
to
fill
the
knowledge
gap
within
the
department.
We've
been
relying
on
an
outside
expert
consultants,
one
of
whom
has
been
mr
flynn.
B
Mr
flynn
has
over
30
years
of
experience
in
the
assessing
world,
including
stints
as
the
chief
of
assessing
in
framingham
and
plymouth.
He
currently
runs
the
commercial
assessing
department
for
the
city
of
quincy
he's
also
past.
President
of
the
massachusetts
association
of
assessing
officers
recently,
the
city
has
utilized
mr
flynn
as
a
hired
consultant
for,
among
other
tasks,
a
full
review
of
the
assessments
for
our
commercial
and
industrial
parcels.
That
process
will
likely
span
several
years
as
he
pursues
that
task.
B
Mr
flynn
can
further
help
us
if
he
becomes
an
official
member
and
chair
of
our
board
of
assessors.
Mr
flynn
will
bring
vast
knowledge
of
massachusetts
assessing
practices
to
this
role.
Further,
we
are
hopeful
that
his
presence
on
the
board
may
make
the
permanent
chief
of
assessing
role
more
attractive
to
outside
candidates.
I
respectfully
request
your
approval
of
mr
flynn's
appointment
in
the
required
waiver
of
the
residency.
A
copy
of
mr
flynn's
resume
is
attached.
Council
robinson.
F
F
B
A
This
is
a
new
three-year
contract
covering
the
periods
from
july
1
2021
through
june
30th
2024,
a
copy
of
the
memorandum
of
agreement
is
attached.
The
most
significant
concession
from
the
city's
perspective
is
the
agreement
by
the
fire
union
to
accept,
for
the
first
time,
a
residency
requirement
which
was
specific
demand
of
the
city
council.
The
new
residency
requirement
is
identical
to
the
residency
provisions
negotiated
previously
with
the
two

I
request
that
you
provide
me
with
any
comments
on
this
proposed
way
within
7
days,
console

B
B
Unfortunately,
I
neglected
to
include
that,
in
the
order
in
my
august,
2nd
2021
letter
requesting
approval
of
the
new
three-year
collective
bargaining
agreement,
a
task
for
you,
your
review
is:
is
this
specific
required
transfer
order,
which
should
be
considered
along
with
the
vote
for
the
approval
of
the
cost
provisions?
I
respectfully
ask
for
your
support
council

B
B
I
am
writing
to
request
the
city
council
approval
for
the
cost
of
items
of
the
new
collective
bargaining
agreement
negotiated
with
the
new
england
police,
benevolent
association,
local
192,
which
represents
e911
dispatchers.
This
is
a
new
three-year
contract
covering
the
period
from
july
1
2021
to
june
30th
2024,
a
copy
of
the
full
contract
is
attached.
Contract
includes
new
annual
percentage
rages.
The
amounts
are
as
follows:
fy
22
three
percent
fy
23
3.5
fy
24
3.5.
B
B
The
percentage
increases
for
this
union
for
the
f
the
three
year,
fy
22
24
period
are
slightly
higher
than
those
negotiated
with
certain
other
unions.
The
reason
is
that
e-911
dispatchers
did
not
receive
any
percentage
increase
for
either
fy
20
or
21..
Thus,
this
financial
package
is
actually
covering
five
total
fiscal
years.
Total
cost
of
all
wages
increases
five
years,
approximately
three
hundred
eight
thousand
dollars.
B
The
one
significant
change
to
contract
language
benefiting
city
is
a
new
residency
provision
recognizing
for
the
first
time,
the
city's
administrative
code,
provisions
on
resident
residency
shall
apply
to
e-911
employees
for
a
period
of
10
years
from
the
date
of
hiring.
I
should
respectfully
ask
the
city
council
to
prove
the
cost
items
of
proposed
contract
and
the
required
transfer
necessary
to
effectuate
its
provisions.
Draft

B
Next
communication
is
a
communication
city
manager
from
tom
members
regarding
requested
approval
for
the
increase
in
school
department,
fy
22
budget,
dear
counselors.
As
you
recall,
the
fy
22
budget,
approved
by
the
city
council
in
june,
included
a
school
department
budget
of
107
million
dollars,
452
859
dollars.
B
That
budget
was
based
on
the
original
budget
number
submitted
by
the
governor
at
the
start
of
the
fy
22
budget
process,
not
surprisingly,
as
in
the
case
in
most
years,
the
state
final
budget
approved
by
the
legislature
and
signed
by
the
governor
included
a
significant
increase
in
chapter
70
funds
for
the
chelsea
school
department.
Over
and
above
the
amount
originally
recommended
by
the
governor.
B
The
increase
due
to
school
department's
budget
supported
by
these
new
state
funds,
is
one
million.
Fifty
two
hundred
thousand
five
hundred
fifty
eight
for
a
revised
school
budget
department
of
one
hundred
and
eight
five
hundred
five
thousand
four
hundred
sixteen
dollars.
The
school
committee
voted
to
approve
the
this
budget
on
august
11
2021.
B
Memorandum
of
that
vote
is
attached
because
of
this
increase.
The
school
department's
budget
is
fully
funded
by
chapter
78.
There
is
no
impact
on
the
municipal
side
of
the
city's
budget.
For
this
reason,
I
respectfully
ask
that
the
city
council
approve
the
full
108
million
five
hundred
and
five
thousand
four
hundred
sixteen
revised
budget
approved
by
the
city
school
committee
on

proposed
order

We
have
a
communication
received
by
city
manager,
tom

regarding
the
notice
of
waiver
intent
for
jenna
clarkson,
dear
counselors
person
to
administrative
code

period
12
period

I'm
writing
to
notify
you
of
my
intention
to
hire
miss
jenna
jackson,
250
meridian
street
apartment,
510,
east
boston,
massachusetts
as
a
crime
analyst
for
the
police

to
grant
her
a
waiver
from
residency
required
set
forth
in
administrative
code,
part

section
1
period,
12
period,
01.
a
copy
of
mix
clarkson's
resume
is
attached.
B
G
Everybody
lives,
don't
want
to
live
in
this
city.
Everybody
wants
to
leave,
nobody
wants
to
live
here.
Everybody
wants
to
get
jobs
here,
get
the
money
here,
but
they
don't
want
to
live
here.
Then.
Here
we
have
seven
days.
If
we
get
this
now,
we
can't
bring
it
and
tell
you
we
don't
like
it
within
seven
days,
because
each
meeting
is
every
two
weeks.
So
it's
14
days.
G
So,
even
if
we
don't
want
them,
we
can't
do
nothing
about
it.
It
should
be
and
I'm
getting
tired
of
hearing
the
same
thing
all
the
time.
Here's
what
it
says
to
grant
her
a
waiver
from
the
resident
requirement
set
forth
ministry.
They
were
no
chelsea
applicants
for
this
position.
What
do
you
mean
to
tell
me?
Nobody
applies
for
these
jobs
that
nobody
applies,
there's
no
one
at
all.
That
applies
for
this
job.
G
That's
the
part
that
gets
me
every
job
here.
Either
there
was
no
chelsea
qualified
people,
there
was
no
chelsea
application
or
one
applies.
What's
the
matter
with
that?
What
are
you
saying?
We
have
40
000
people
in
this
city.
There's
no
qualified
people,
nobody
applies.
So,
let's
advertise
it
more,
why
does
everybody
have
to
leave
our
city?
There's
plenty
people
here?
They
need
the
jobs.
There's
plenty
people
here
that
are
qualified,
I'm
tired
of
everybody
always
leaving
leaving
leaving
they
are
the
they
make
more
money
than
the
average
person
that
lives
in
the
city.
G
So
if
they
make
more
money,
their
income
should
stay
with
us.
Why
should
the
poor
people
pick
up
the
burden
of
them?
So,
in
other
words,
come
to
my
city.
Take
my
money
and
run
away.
That's
not
what
you're
supposed
to
do
you
stay
here
for
an
extended
period
of
time.
Nobody
wants
you
to
stay
here
forever,
because
you
can't
force
someone
to
live
there
forever.
But
if
you
want
to
get
the
job
here
and
you
want
to
stay
with
us-
you
stay
for
a
little
time.
G
That's
all
we're
asking
and-
and
I
don't
want
to
hear,
no
more
there's
no
more
qualified
people
nobody
applied.
Maybe
we
should
scrutinize
even
better
how
many
people
actually
do
apply
for
these
jobs,
because
I'm
tired
of
it
there's
plenty
chelsea
people
and
there's
plenty
people
here
that
are
qualified
for
these
jobs.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
opportunity
to
apply
and
work
in
our
city.
I
don't
want
everybody
that
works
in
our
city
that
doesn't
live
in
our
city.
You
should
live
in
our
city.
G
I
can
maybe
understand
when
you
want
to
talk
about
the
high
positions
where
people
you
say:
okay,
you're
having
the
top
of
the
department.
So
if
you
don't
let
them
come
in,
they
might
not
want
to
come
in
and
then
you
might
not
get
the
most
qualified
people,
but
an
average
person
that
gets
an
average
job
should
have
the
opportunity.
One.
B
B
I
am
writing
to
notify
you
my
intention
to
hire
miss
norielis,
valentine,
31,
martin
street
revere
the
exempt
position
of
the
technical
project
lead
and
to
grant
a
waiver
residency
from
the
requirements
set
forth
in
administrative
code,
part
4,
section
1
period
1201.
This
is
a
temporary
18-month
position
to
help
the
city
implement
some
major
technology
upgrades.
B
H
In
this
position
they
always
said
it's
temporary
position,
but
then
we
end
up
having
a
full-time
job
like
happening
from
few
other
positions.
It
always
said
it's
a
temporary,
we
get
grants
and
then
what
happened?
The
city
gotta
get
this
full-time
people.
Also.
I
want
to
make
a
comment
with
the
past
order.
Regarding
9-1-1,
I
think
I
mentioned
something
on
the
email
that
the
city
manager
sent
about
the
9-1-1
dispatcher
that
console
cooper
said
this
is
about
40
000,
something
people
in
chelsea
to
say:
there's
no
qualifying
people
for
these
9-1-1
jobs.
H
He
mentioned
that
he
may
going
gonna
have
a
training,
free
training
for
people
in
chelsea.
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
to
do
that.
There's
plenty
people
in
chelsea.
If
we
do
that,
we're
going
to
have
people
who
want
to
work
and
there's
there's
people
who
want
to
work
in
chelsea,
but
we
don't
give
you
that
opportunity,
we
don't
give
them
training.
So
I
think
it's
a
great
idea.
Thank
you.

So
we'll
have
a
roll
call
on
the
adoption
of
the
vote
taken
by
the
traffic
board
and
let
just
me
go
over
so
real
quick.
There
was
to
post
a
handicap
sign
at
46
orange
street
number
seven
to
implement
the
improvement
of
a

based
on
this
request
by

cares
item

to

B
B
In
order
to
have
a
handicap
sign
removed
in
any
particular
spot
in
the
city
of
chelsea,
a
resident
can
either
who
was
part
of
the
family
who
had
originally
requested,
or
it
could
be
done
by
neighbors,
who
recognize
that,
potentially
the
person
that
was
using
it
no
longer
lives
there
or
passed
away.
A
simple
communication
to
the
traffic
clerk
will
begin
the
process
at
which
time
the
information
will
be
verified
by
the
parking
commission.
B
H
A
It
would
appear
that
the
public
must
submit
their
comments
on
the
wednesday
before
a
meeting
agendas
seem
to
be
posted
on
that
same
day
during
the
work
day,
this
arrangement
requires
residents
to
not
only
be
fully
on
top
of
the
day-to-day
actions
of
city
hall,
but
that
they
find
the
agenda
figure
out
what
it
might
mean
and
then
formulate
a
response
to
it.
In
addition
to
this,
older
residents
and
those
who
might
not
be
computer
savvy
would
need
to
find
some
method
to
insert
this
form.
A
A
I
I
would
have
had
more
time
to
formulate
my
argument,
but
this
moments
before
the
4
pm
deadline
for
this
monday's
meeting,
as
it
is
3
59
p.m.
On
wednesday,
as
I
hit
submit
hoping,
the
computer
does
not
freeze,
the
box
is
also
quite
difficult
and
working
and
working
to
type
into
making
the
formation
of
coherent
sentences
and
concepts
difficult.
A
I
do
hope
you
consider
look
again
to
a
way
to
ensure
efficiency
and
safety,
while
also
ensuring
residents
have
the
ability
to
participate
in
democracy
as
a
most
local
level,
as
we
grapple
with
the
continuing
global
pandemic
and
all
the
issues
related
to
it.
Thank
you
for
that.
All
that
you
do
and
provide
for
our
community
respectfully
matthew,
frank.
B
B
There
is
a
process
that
was
put
in
place
for
communications
that
may
be
post.
It
has
to
be
posted
on
the
agenda.
That
is
a
deadline
of
wednesday
in
order
for
us
to
accept
the
communication,
and
it
be
part
of
the
agenda
that
is
the
wednesday
deadline.
That
does
not
stop
any
communication
from
being
sent
to
us
after
that
date
and
brought
in
as
a
late
communication
and
can
still
be
read
at
a
meeting
potentially
also.
B
Obviously,
besides,
sending
a
regular
email
or
a
hard
copy
via
mail,
any
member
of
the
public
can
still
attend
our
meeting
and
speak
at
our
meetings
during
the
public
speaking
portion.
So
just
a
clarification.
That
is
not
the
only
method,
but
we
do
appreciate
the
comments
brought
to
our
former
colleague.
Thank
you
new.
I
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
this
is
actually
something
that
many
of
my
constituents
have
brought
to
my
attention.
Actually,
when
I
was
door
knocking
as
like
a
serious
concern
of
theirs
and
and
increasingly
as
there's
constant
traffic
that
happens,
and
just
this
year,
we
were
able
to
track
about
three
different
accidents.
That
happened
because
the
cars
just
collide,
and
you
know
they
don't
want
to
stop
or
someone
doesn't
want
a
nudge.
It's
actually
happened
to
my
mom.
Unfortunately,
my
neighbor,
my
friend,
my
friend
neighbor
I've,
also
as
a
mother
fear.
I
This
has
happened
to
me
where
my
youngest
son,
who
you
guys
met,
who
has
autism,
he's
a
wanderer,
so
he
has
literally
like
ran
across
the
street,
and
I
fear
that
you
know
anything
happening
to
him,
because
cars
go
extremely
extremely
fast
and
I
mean
it's
extremely
scary,
and
so
I
urge
community
members
that
want
that
change.
I
know
that
there's
a
petition
going
around,
so
I
urge
them
to
sign
the
petition
and
also
to
come
to
the
traffic
and
parking
commission
meeting
on
october
5th
to
share
their
concerns.
B
D
D
It's
time
for
us
to
really
start
to
be
looking
into
some
really
serious,
doable
ways
of
finding
parcels,
and
maybe
some
bank
properties
just
having
some
foreclosures
that
the
city
can
actually
go
after
and
contact
with
that
we
can
actually
use
for
stable
home
ownership
that
we
can
use
with
our
home
trust
fund.
So
I
thought,
because
we've
been
had
some
conversation
and
some
of
the
conversation
that
we've
had
has
run
into
some
roadblocks.
D
D
We
have
20
parcels
and
this
is
what
it
will
cost
if
we
go
after
them-
and
it's
not,
you
know,
direct
personal
property,
but
it's
possible
that
we
can
really
get
into
and
really
get
as
the
president
is
trying
to
do
some
home
ownership,
where
we
can
have
some
stable
home
ownership-
and
you
know
as
state
as
we
go
from
this
pandemic
when
folks
start
to
have
a
place
to
live.
It
takes
that
stress
off
of
them.
Prior
to
the
pandemic,
houses
were
high
during
the
pandemic.
D
Housing
prices
of
affordability,
whether
it
was
rent
or
buying
a
home,
went
sky
high.
So
it's
a
stressful
situation
right
now.
Everyone
is
unsure
that
if
they're
going
to
be
evicted,
they're
going
to
have
to
foreclose
and
if
we
find
properties
or
if
we
find
parcels,
we
can
be
first
at
the
table
to
make
something
happen
with
our
affordable
home
program.
Here
in
chelsea,
thank
you.
B
B
H
B
Right
now,
the
home
repetition
that
this
council
passed
was
that
any
properties
that
are
in
default
and
tax
title
and
fall
into
receivership
from
the
city
or
can
go
after
through
tax
liens
immediately
goes
to
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund,
and
there
is
probably
in
my
discussions
with
the
city
manager,
about
three
or
four
properties
that
are
in
the
pipeline
already.
That
will
be
coming
to
the
city.
B
B
If
we
take
a
look
at
an
example
of
orange
street,
that
already
was
something
that
we
voted
on
is
going
through.
Its
rfp
process
takes
a
year
and
then
before
it
even
goes
to
and
responds
to
an
rfp
and
then
finally
gets
built
you're
talking
about
four
years
before
those
four
homes
come
on
the
market
and
we
provide
home
ownership
opportunities.
B
So
I
have
to
ask
my
colleagues:
are
we
simply
going
to
accept
that?
That's
the
pace
and
that's
our
answer
to
the
home
ownership
crisis
that
is
facing
this
community
that
we,
the
best
thing
that
we
can
do,
is
maybe
four
homes
at
a
time
in
four
years
or
are
we
going
to
do
more
and
if
we're
going
to
give
more,
I
ask
my
colleagues,
I'm
not
alone
in
this.
Be
creative.
B
B
Someone
who
is
a
operator
for
10
years
with
a
residence
requirement
has
no
choice
but
to
rent
for
10
years,
because
at
best
the
policy,
the
housing
policies
of
this
city
is
we
bring
four
homes
at
a
time
for
home
ownership
opportunities,
so
yeah
think
outside
the
box
get
creative.
I
welcome
ideas,
but
I'm
not
satisfied
with
just
thinking
we.
B
D
You
thank
you,
council
robinson.
I
we'll
add
that
to
it,
and
actually
you
know
this
is
a
request,
because
during
these
rainstorms
and
through
this
trying
time
we
had
it
just
may
be
that
our
sewer
system
is
not
is
plugged
up
or
fogged
up,
but
we
just
want
to
make
sure,
because
the
folks
over
here
on
six
feet
in
arlington,
are
having
some
major
problems,
and
I
know
excuse
me,
I
noted
they're
actually
doing
work
over
there
on
housing.
D
B
A
A
Next
order,
request
introduced
by
council
recuperal
request
that
the
city
manager
update
the
city
council
on
how
many
times
the
city
uses
a
baiting
contract.
If
it
is
not
contracted,
then
how
many
times
does
the
dpw
bait
the
sewer
a
month
provide
info
on
most
concentrated
area
of
the
city
council,
recupera.
G
First
thing
I
would
like
to
say:
everybody
in
the
city
can
go
downstairs
and
get
one
of
these.
This
was
done
many
years
ago.
If
you
have
problems
in
your
yard
and
you're
the
owner
of
a
house,
this
city,
one
of
the
few
cities,
I
think
it's
the
only
city
that
gives
you
money
to
bait
it
they
come
and
they
bait
it
for
free.
You
don't
have
to
pay,
because
this
is
the
form
you
get
you
get
it
an
isd
downstairs
there.
You
will
pro
you
don't
have
to
provide
anything.
G
The
only
thing
you
have
to
provide
is
information
that
you're
the
owner
of
the
house,
and
you
like
to
have
it
baited.
So
here's
the
first
one.
So
this
is
what
it
looks
like
go
down
and
get
it
if
you
have
a
problem.
The
next
thing
is
right.
Now
there
is
a
big
rap
rodent,
let's
put
it
in
a
in
a
good
way,
a
rodent
problem
in
our
city,
large
problem,
but
that's
what
every
city
in
the
surrounding
areas?
Everybody
has
a
rodent
problem.
So
what
do
we
how
we
combat
in
it
one?
G
I
think
this
is
a
good
form.
The
next
is,
I
think,
dpw
is
the
one
that
goes
down
and
baits
the
source.
So
I
would
like
to
have
a
report.
How
many
times
do
they
actually
bait
these
sewers
and
where
is
the
most
places
of
our
city
which
have
the
most
rodent
population
because
they
could
tell
the
infestation
of
rodents
on
sections
of
our
city?
So
if
certain
parts
of
our
city
are
more
concentrated
with
these
rodents
all
over
the
place,
so
maybe
we
should
find
a
way
to
put
more
resources
towards
that
area.
G
So
actually
none
of
us
know
there's
nobody
in
this
council
that
actually
knows
how
many
times
they
bait
the
rats.
I
don't
know
I've,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
understands
that
this
council,
as
a
whole
council,
is
working
very
hard
to
try
to
fix
the
problem
with
the
rodents.
You
can't
eliminate
it
all
of
you,
because
they've
been
around
for
millions
of
years,
but
you
can't
control
it.
So
what
we?
What
I
really
want
to
know
is
how
many
times
do
they
bait
it?
G
D
This
is
vice
president.
I'm
sorry,
mrs
vice
president.
Thank
you
again
counselor.
Thank
you
for
bringing
us
here.
This
is
a
problem.
It's
been
a
problem
every
time
we
have
construction
going
on
in
our
city.
It
gets
worse
and
worse,
but
counselor
recuperate
does
bring
some
valid
questions
and
some
valid
statements
regarding.
D
We
need
to
not
only
work
with
the
city
and
isd,
but
we
also
need
the
residents.
I've
been
in
a
lot
of
contact
with
residents.
Just
telling
me
about
rodents,
and
I
returned
phone
calls,
and
you
know
they
just
don't
follow
up,
and
we
just
need
you
to
do
some
of
the
things
that
will
really
get
the
ball
rolling
and
also
get
help
in
your
community.
D
If
you
have
this
issue
with
rodents
that
you
can
go
down
to
the
isd
department,
you
can
fill
out
these
forms
and
you
can
actually
talk
to
someone
and
see
what
you
can
do
and
what's
available
for
you,
this
council
cooperate
stated
not
every
city
offers
these
programs.
We
have
these
programs
because
we're
working
hard
for
you,
but
we
also
need
you
to
step
forward
and
come
in
talk
to
your
city.
D
H
I've
been
getting
calls
from
many
presidents
in
my
district.
They
haven't
expressed
their
concerns
about
car
speed
and
marble
street
library
street
grove
street
as
marvelously
she
was
was
just
done
not
long
ago.
People
are
complaining
that
there's
too
many
cars
driving
too
fast.
So
I
would
like
to
see
if
we
can
do
something
and
help
out
a
residence.
H
Their
concern
is
that
the
children,
as
you
remember,
I
think
you
guys
remember-
there
was
a
child
who
was
hidden
on.
I
think
it's
56
marvel
street.
There
was
another
one
on
on
grove
street.
We
have
had
some
accidents,
so
we
try
to.
We
should
try
to
you
know
to
avoid
all
this,
maybe
by
putting
the
speed
tables.
Maybe
it's
not
gonna,
stop
all
these
accidents,
but
maybe
help
so
the
people
don't
drive
too
fast.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
Next
order,
under
new
business
order,
introduced
by
council
lopez
and
council
ray
cooper
request
that
the
city
manager
look
into
instructing
all
department
heads
to
notify
the
city
council
when
they
will
be
out
of
office.
Who
will
be
their
replacement
in
the
meantime
and
best
form
of
communication
to
contact
that
person
in
case
of
an
emergency
in
their
absence.
H
Yeah,
so
I've
been
noticing
that
not
too
many
head
departments
when
they
go
on
vacation.
They
notify
us
this
couple
couple
people
who
do
it,
but
sometimes
when
there's
a
question
that
arises
and
we
want
to
answer
we
either
email
or
text
and
say:
oh,
I'm
a
vacation.
So
if
we
don't
know
who
to
talk
to
who
should
we
contact
them,
but
I
wanna,
you
know
at
least
they
provide
the
next
contact
when
someone
is
on
vacation,
especially
health
departments,.
G
Well,
we
can
contact
the
city
manager
with
everything,
but
do
we
have
to
go
to
him
all
the
time
city
manager?
Do
we
have
to
contact
you
every
time
counselor
through
the
chair?
Okay,
so
can
you
ask
the
city
manager?
That's
the
only
way
is
to
contact
them
every
time
or
is
that,
okay,
if
their
department
heads
give
us,
let
us
know
when
they're
not
there.
E
C
A
C
Doctor's
unanimously
under
suspension,
and
actually
my
my
my
question-
goes
to
the
fact
that
we
provided
the
chamber
foundation
with
some
finances
to
provide
some
programs,
and
I
know
that
they're
no
longer
located
at
the
chelsea
chamber.
So
I'm
trying
to
find
out
where
they
are
located
and
what
services
that
they
are
providing.
C

Next

A
We're
as
a
city
council
recognizes
that
large
plan
to
our
special
permit
development
projects
can
have
both
positive
and
negative
impacts
on
the
community
and
whereas,
in
order
to
balance
out
these
impacts,
the
city
council
works
with
developers
to
address
the
social
impact
through
advocating
for
the
provisions
of
community
and
public
benefits,
and
whereas
the
city
council
also
works
with
developers
to
address
environmental
impacts
by
providing
physical
enhancement
mitigation.
And
whereas
the
city
council
considers
both
the
impacts
and
needs
of
the
immediate
area
as
well
as
throughout
chelsea.
A
Whereas
the
city
council
is
chelsea's,
duly
elected
legislative
body,
body
is
responsible
in
both
identifying
the
impacts
and
determining
the
appropriate
mitigation,
and
whereas
the
city
council
empowers
the
senior
manager
as
its
designate
to
meet
and
negotiate
with
developers
on
its
behalf
to
discuss
such
mitigation
efforts.
Whereas
the
city
council
orders
that
the
determination
effort
to
be
fair
and
reasonable
that
mitigation
for
environmental
impacts
of
a
proposed
project
be
comprehensive
and
that
mitigation
for
social
impacts
be
appropriate
and
not
excessive,
and
whereas,
at
the
discretion
of
the
city
council,
the
develop
may
offer
a
final.
A
A
financial
contribution
to
be
held.
In
escrow
by
the
city
to
support
chelsea
social
programs
and
community
initiatives,
which
would
then
require
city
council
approval
for
distribution
and
whereas
no
amount
of
mitigation
shall
allow
for
the
approval
of
the
zoning
board
for
approval
of
an
otherwise
unacceptable
project.
Now,
therefore,
let
it
be
resolved
at
the
city
council
in
order
to
best
mitigate
those
impacts
and
implement
and
fear
and
transparent
process
order.
The
following
zoning
amendments
to
be
adopted.
B
B
B
We've
had
mitigation
offered
by
other
developments
in
different
ways,
but
in
throughout,
for
example,
eastern
salt
has
mentioned
in
the
past
that,
as
part
of
the
expansion
on
the
waterfront
from
what
was
going
to
be
the
replacement
of
two
fuel
stalls,
they
mitigated
and
pay
for
a
soccer
field,
a
new
field,
astro
turf,
and
to
create
port
park.
That
was
mitigation,
but
the
process
of
how
that
all
happened
is
nowhere
to
be
on
our
books.
B
The
the
process
that
I
put
in
front
of
us
mimics,
what
the
city
of
boston
does
city
of
boston
right
now
has
in
its
ordinance
this
very
same
process.
However,
the
difference
is
that
on
each
when
a
project
hits
that
designation,
that
of
a
planned
project
or
the
size
limit,
what
they
do
is
they
designate
a
committee
for
each
neighborhood
locally.
B
B
We
at
times
are
already
voicing
our
concerns
about
certain
projects
in
our
community.
We
go
to
the
zoning
board.
We
behind
doors
outside
of
public
view
meet
with
the
city
manager.
I
think
we
serve
best
as
just
being
the
body
for
our
voice
to
just
have
the
city
manager
or
his
designee
negotiate
said.
The
mitigation
package
bring
it
in
front
of
the
council
for
an
up
down
vote
very
similar
to
what
we
do
with
other
agreements,
and
then
it
goes
to
the
zoning
board.
B
B
My
only
problem
with
that
is,
and
again
this
is
my
opinion.
We
have
a
difference
of
which
one
is
a
better
way
to
do
and
we'll
discuss.
This
is
that
when
you
do
the
rate,
no
two
projects
are
alike.
I
can
tell
you
as
some
experience
in
development.
No
two
blocks
are
the
same
known
two
neighborhoods
the
same,
and
to
say
that
the
tax
rate
should
be
the
same
on
this
one,
and
the
mitigation
is
equal.
B
It
doesn't
make
sense,
also
there's
a
limitation
once
you
designate
what
the
mitigation
can
be
spent
for.
It
can't
be
done
for
other
things,
I'd
like
to
keep
the
mitigation
open
so
that
maybe
sometimes
it's
for
a
park.
Maybe
it's
for
traffic,
maybe
it's
more
affordable
housing,
whatever
it
may
be
per
case
and
also
doesn't
handicap
neither
this
council,
neither
this
city
manager
or
any
future
city,
council
or
city
manager
from
deciding
what
is
the
best
mitigation
at
that
time.
For
that
particular
project.
B
I
look
forward
to
having
this
discussion
with
the
in
our
subcommittee
with
our
city,
manager
and
staff,
with
my
fellow
colleagues
with
our
residents.
I
look
forward
to
hearing
from
our
planning
board
on
arts
recommendations,
but
I
think
we
really
need
to
just
codify
make
this
idea
of
community
mitigation
and
in
the
impacts
of
of
these
projects
in
our
books.
For
all
to
see
and
again
I
look
forward
to
the
debate.
Thank
you.

C
Just
briefly,
actually,
yesterday
a
rotary
club
and
the
somerville
yacht
club
held
a
trip
out
in
the
harbor
for
all
veterans
and
actually
chelsea
veterans
and
people
from
the
soldiers
home
participated,
and
it
was
a
very
pleasant
day.
They
served
a
continental
breakfast
and
then,
when
they
came
back
in
the
afternoon,
they
served
hot
dogs
and
hamburgers
and
and
all
the
fixings
to
go
with
it.
It
was
a.
It
was
a
good
day
for
veterans
to
get
out
on
the
ocean.
D
Just
want
to
say
also
that
tonight
we
celebrate
the
test
to
chelsea.
It
wasn't
in
person
again.
This
is
the
second
year
where
we
had
to
have
a
virtual,
but
this
taster
chelsea
is
still
looking
for
in-kind
donation,
financial
donation.
As
you
know,
we
were
hit
pretty
hard
here.
We
have
a
lot
of
families,
a
lot
of
folks
that
still
in
need,
so
you
can
go
online
and
you
can
make
a
donation
directly
to
the
a
lot
of
it.
Go
to
domestic
violence,
a
lot
of
it
go
to
women
in
need.
D
J
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
councillor
robinson's
comments
about
the
veterans
cruise
yesterday.
I
also
attended-
and
I
wanted
to
thank
kenny
webber
and
his
wife.
Kathy
kenny-
runs
this
every
every
year
and
has
for
the
last
10
years
and
it's
a
good
way.
I
was
happy
as
a
part
of
chelsea
rotary
to
support
this
project
every
year
and
it's
important
that
we
honor
our
veterans,
who
a
lot
of
times
come
back
and
don't
have
the
honor
that
they
are
that
they
deserve.
H
I
just
want
to
say
that
on
wednesday
september,
15th
is
independence
day
for
guatemala,
el
salvador,
honduras,
nicaragua
and
costa
rica.
So
we
want
to
congratulate
all
central
american
countries
and
we're
going
to
have
a
celebration
on
saturday
at
11
a.m:
a
parade
celebrating
the
independence
day
for
central
america.
Thank
you.
D
Yeah,
I
just
publicly
want
to
thank
our
city
manager,
tom
amazino
many
times
this
summer.
I've
been
in
his
office
and
he's
been
dealing
with
these
budgets,
not
the
budgets
but
the
contract
of
the
fire,
and
I
know
it's
a
lot
of
work.
I
know
a
lot
of
time
has
been
spent
into
it.
It
goes
unnoticed,
but
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
we
appreciate
from
all
those
numbers.
